Lovers of 6 Years (2008) - full transcript

A film about dating and relationships. It doesn't deal with the kind of head-over-heels, knight-in-shining-armor love that is usually tied to "romance." This is the love that bores, nags, and sometimes even upsets you. The kind of love which can lead us to stray every once in a while, but only to be welcomed back to its arms at just a single gesture of warmth. LOVERS OF 6 YEARS shows the real kind of love that countless relationship guides, romance novels and films have come to neglect: the love that real people face in real life. This is what sets this film apart from its predecessors. By showing the honest truth about the kind of regular, almost mundane love that real people experience, it allows for the audience to truly relate to its characters and the everyday dating problems they face.

Do you have
something against me?

I'm so sorry, sir.

- I haven't been driving long...
- So what?

Stay off the road, then!

Any idiot with a license
thinks he can drive.

It's outrageous.

But you're the one that cut in...

Don't even start, lady.

Hey. You didn't signal
before butting in.

You realize it's legally your fault?

There's no damage,
so let's forget it.



You're lucky
I'm a nice person.

At least the insurance
won't go up.

Is that all you can say?

You won't ask me
if I'm okay?

If you weren't,
we'd be at the hospital by now.

I'm not feeling well right now.

You seem to be talking just fine.

You're always thinking of yourself.

It feels really shitty after
a car accident.

I should be the one yelling here!

I'm speechless.

- I really am.
- Then don't say anything.

At least you know now.

It's a new car, so he must be mad.



Love isn't a fairy tale.

Come on, now.

You still believe in romance?

It's just an illusion from TV dramas.

Uh-huh.

Us?

She asks if
she's invisible or something,

but I can't just
focus on her all the time.

It's hard for me too.

That's not what mature love is.

Da-jin's nice and comfortable.

It's been so long,
she's like a sister sometimes.

But still, that's not it.

When did you come?

Is family supposed to be like this?

You heard it all?

I was just trying to
make her feel better.

God, I'm pitiful.

I'm sorry
I'm not mature enough.

But I really tried to
make this work.

Da-jin.

Come on, Da-jin.

Yes, ma'am. It's me.

How have you been?

Is Da-jin over there?

Of course not. All right.

Yes, I will.
Take care.

Okay.

You're a mess.

Mom, let me crash for a few days.

Is this a B&B hotel?

I have to do some repairs at home.

Repairs?

I'm gonna go in and rest.

Da-jin.

You want anything for dinner?

You should watch what you say.

Why'd you have to call me?

By the way,
that girl comes looking for you a lot.

What?

You can't get anything past me.

You've lost your touch, lady.

How far did you go?

Go where?

Did you sleep with her?

Aw, come on.

- It's not like that.
- Never mind, then.

If you're together this long,

what's wrong with
feeling like family?

After each big fight like this,

I wait for the right moment to make up.
I'm tired of it.

It's a never-ending cycle.
Always questioning if it's love or not.

Your girlfriend isn't
calling you today.

She won't talk to me.
She ran away.

So then you called me out
because you fought with her.

No. It's not like that.

Then what?

Well...

You have fun with me.
Same here.

- So?
- So?

I'm feeling a bit lonely,
so let's have fun together.

You have a way of
making me confused.

Me?

Oh?

So what should we do?

Come in.

Sit down.

You think this is okay?

How about some wine?

Sure.

Hold on for one minute.

Are you okay?

You're asking me that
and pouring me drinks?

I'm still a bit flushed.

Better?

My hands are really cold.

Wait.

It looks so good.

You're like a vampire
or something.

I'm not sure if you're a nice guy.

But it's strange, how cute you are.

Is this good too?

Very.

It's just how I like it.

But... is it only me?

Jae-young.
My heart's pounding.

I'll do it.

Okay.
What's wrong?

Must be crazy.

Hello?

- Da-Jin, Where are you?
- Sorry?

You still want to sign me,
don't you?

Yes, of course.

Then what's with the face?
Aren't you happy?

Of course I am.

Feels nice and cool.

It's much better like this.

Oh, no way.

Try it.
It really feels better.

Really.

Hey, it does.

Strange-looking feet.

Do you come here often?

Sometimes when I need some air.

Seoul isn't much during the day,
but it's beautiful at night.

I don't know which
one is real, though.

All those people down there living together,
people closest to each other.

Do they all understand
one another?

I don't know if I do.

I don't know.
It's not easy being with someone.

Can you go faster?

Why?
Are you feeling okay?

There's a place I want to go to.

Honestly,
I'm using you today.

I don't get it,
but it's still good to see you.

Look at me.

I'm not kidding around.

I really like you.

I've been...

seeing someone for six years.

So?

Do you love him?

It's beyond that.

We know everything
about each other.

I know which of
his teeth has a cavity

and how he got
the scar on his head.

Not how much you know him.
Do you love him?

There are different types of love.

Then I guess It's okay
for me to love you.

Jin-sung.

I want to try to find
happiness on my own.

Depending on others got me nowhere.

Right now,
I need to find myself first.

Jae-young!

Where are you going?

KIM Jae-young! Stop!

- What?
- Just apologize.

One word is all that it takes.
Is that so hard?

Sorry.

Why can't you say it
like you mean it?

What's so hard about that?

Da-jin, slap me just once.

- What?
- Just slap me.

If I ever mess up again,

you can shoot me.

Asshole.

Hello?

- Where are you?
- Why?

Da-jin just rolled into
ER with some guy.

What?

I'm going into surgery,

so just get over here.

Da-jin, does it hurt?

What do I do? Hey!

She's in pain.
Do something.

The stitches will be out
in a week.

She could get dizzy
or a bit queasy,

so find a nurse then,
all right?

Why are you here?

Why are you?

Who are you?

LEE Jin-sung.
Nice to meet you.

Did you do this?

I'm sorry.
We slipped on my motorcycle.

Motorcycle?

A motorcycle at this hour?
And who's that?

I'm so sorry.
They said she's fine now,

but there might be some aftereffects,
so please take care of her.

Again, I'm sorry.

What are you so sorry for?

What makes you?

Hey, Da-jin.

And why are you
getting all flushed?

What's going on
with you and him?

He works with our company.

The psycho that wanted
the stupid LP?

You weren't talking business
on a motorcycle.

Why were you out?
And with him?

Let him go.
We'll talk alone.

What did you two do together?

We went to Namsan.

Namsan...

You went to our place
with this guy?

Did you go on
the cable cars too?

Are you nuts?

There's no need to yell at her.

There was no need
for you to hit on my girlfriend.

No?

Stop it.

I was stressed out,
so I asked for a ride. Okay?

You're stressed out,
so you meet other guys?

All that shit about happiness
was an excuse.

Why can't you just say
you're cheating?

You don't know
your girlfriend at all.

It's nothing like that.

What the heck
do you know, then?

I can't freaking believe this.

Just tell me the truth.

- Did you sleep with him?
- Are you insane?

Insane?

Did you sleep with him or not?
It's not difficult.

God, you're so...

I'm what? What?

Then why the hell is he so cocky, huh?

Did you sleep with this fucker?

Yeah, I did.

Satisfied?

Let's go, Jin-sung.

Stay there,
I'll go take a look.

Get out. Get out!

Why can't you take it
like a man?

Who told you to butt in, jackass?

Did you just duck?

Duck again. Huh?

You little piece of shit!

Jackass!

You're so manly,
so you hit on my girl?

Huh? Punk!

Hey! LEE Da-jin!

Wait.

I know
why you're doing this.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. I mean it.

You're sorry? For what?

I don't care
what you did with him.

I'm sorry, no matter what.

Da-jin!

It's too late!
It won't change anything!

You know. When you go
deep into the water,

and your feet come on
and off the ground...

It was just like that.

If I just reached out,
I could have touched it.

Just blind faith.
I think that's what it was.

Since when?

For a long time, I think.

It sounds like an excuse,
but you were always a sure thing for me.

Yeah, I know.
For me too, I think.

Let's not try so hard
to sugarcoat it.

- Great work, sir.
- The surgery went well.

It's better to
get rid of it, just in case.

So, you're all cleaned up now?

My boyfriend.
Say hi.

Self-improvement steps
for white collar workers

don't apply to most of
our readers.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Thirsty?
Have some of this, KWON.

Thank you, ma'am.

They say that books
reflect their authors.

I think you'll make
great books.

Thank you.

Is it still not okay
for me to ask you out?

I'm gonna analyze myself
for a while.

I've been rejected
again, haven't I...

You should think about it too.

The air is nice and
clean in these parts.

You'll like the next house
even more.

- It's nice, isn't it?
- It is.

Lots of sun, a great bargain...

It'll be gone very soon.

You here now,
so why don't you sign today?

So, we meet like this.

I know. How are you?

Good.

Why are you moving?
That house is nice.

No reason.

I enjoyed your book.

You read it?

It's my pride and joy.
Is it that famous already?

It was good.

You look different.

I do?

There is something different.

I quit smoking three months ago.

Really?

Looking at any more?

No, I think
I'm done for today.

Well, I'm gonna go
and see some more.

Let's have coffee some time.

All right.

See you.

Da-jin!

How's your mother doing?

You know her. She's a rock.

Is it okay
if I visit her some time?

Sure. She was asking
about you too.

- Drop by some time.
- Okay.

Jae-young!

Yeah?

You kept this all this time?

Huh? Wait, I'll go there.

What's up?

Are you okay?

What would happen
if we got back together?

I'm okay.

They do say that
broken bones bind stronger.

Could we be stronger too?

Are you okay?
Let me see.

We'll probably lie, fight,
and hurt each other, again.

Then get sick of it
and go our separate ways.

Forgetting how much
we missed each other.

Forgetting how much
we regretted it all.
