Plum Blossom (2000) - full transcript

Do what?

Eat, sleep, screw, and go to school

The same as always.

Should I go to the
army like Wonjae?

Do you wanna die?

In the thick falling snow,

the baby quails come with the voice

It's all right. It's all right

It's all right.

In the endless snow,

even the mountain, the blue mountain
never bothers the saying...



It's all right. It's all right...

It's all right.

Dear Teacher...

I still miss my friend June
who died when we were kids

I realized being a grown-up
is having your friends leave

and then being alone

Jayo is the only one left

Okay, for ten minutes.

Okay

Jayo is confused all the time.

Although, he always indulges in decadence
he doesn't get close to others

I'm... still the same

Like you wanted,
I'm trying hard to forget you

Until I can forget, I'll keep sending letters to you



But by the hundreth letter,
maybe things will get better

Teacher, what's wrong?

Hey, Jayo!

If you wanna hear this song,
then listen to this one first

In the beginning of his career,
Don McLean entitled the song

Vincent' after Vincent Van Gogh
Then Roberta Flack

heard it over the radio. It touched her soul
so she made that other song

What's wrong?

I have class
I've got to go now

Wait

When can we meet again?

See you later

Bad boy

Why were you absent?

Give me three good reasons
From the psychological view

First, I was bored

Second, I wanted to have sex

Third, as much as I can

Okay?

What about Madam Werther?

From the psychological view.

That's very logical and reasonable.

And also practical.

Excuse me!

What?

Do you mind taking my virginity?

Seuin...

Should I get angry?

Or slap him on the cheek?

But what should I do?
I don't feel angry

Open the door
Open it...!

Who let Jeannie out of her lamp?

Kiss me...

So then?

How many times
did you do it with her?

That girl from your high school

Did you do it like this?
How was it?

Was it good?

It was okay...

Thief!

Then why did you
break up with her?

She's dead.

Dead? How come?

Take off your shirt first

I can't wait.

I'll do it.

Don't rush!

I can't help it.

No, not there.

You're not leaving?

I'm off duty today.

Why don't you ask
anything about me?

You're not curious?

No

Well, I am

Like your dreams and
thoughts during high school

Well, except for that girl

I know!

It's cause you forget my number, right?

Bad boy

Did it hurt your pride?

Wanna do it again?

Is it all right
having sex with me?

I choose the guy myself.

Men don't control me.

So that's why you named
your cafe Werther?

Goethe's probably jealous.

Because Werther is dead,
and so is Goethe

But... we're still alive

It's all right... It's all right...

Are you all right?

I think so

Seuin! Seuin!

Seuin...

Falling plum blossoms in the wind

the full moon at early night

the barley field turning yellow...

She loved these things.

I suddenly thought about her

while having sex

I was thinking of her

Dear Teacher,

I feel lost

I can't move a step forward.

Since Jayo is lost too,
it makes matters worse

If I stand here for a while,

I feel like

I'm flying through air
and looking down on the world

As if I'm even looking down on myself.

I agree

Wanna jump?

Why not?

Hey Seuin!

Hey Jayo!

How far do we have to go

till Jayo and I find our way?

I want to know.

And most of all...
I miss you

What do you think?
Don't you wanna see her?

Seuin's in love with another woman

Really?

But why don't you
ever talk about her?

Is it some tragic love of some kind?

It would be fun
if we could double date

When we're drunk,
we could change partners

You're nasty

Seuin, he's beyond remedy.

All he does
is sleep and have sex

Jayo's got a straw for sucking human blood

Long ago, a girl was sucked
by his straw and vanished

I know that story.

So don't fall in love If you don't
then you won't get hurt, right?

I agree!

I'm not I'll fall in love,
but I'll never get hurt

I can do it.

Did Jayo say that he loves you?

Didn't he say that
love is love, and sex is sex?

Tell me three of your emotional
states from the psychological view

First, I'm horny

Second, horny beyond remedy

Third, everlastingly horny beyond remedy

I don't love this guy yet.

You're dirty
Nothing but a walking disease

You gonna keep
avoiding the madam?

Sex... It's compliated

Whenever I do it with her,
I keep seeing Junghae's face

It's beyond remedy

And you?

Are you getting serious with Namok?

I don't know

She's comfortable to be with,
but it's sometimes hard

Yeah...

sex...

It's complicated.

Son of a bitch!

Let go of me! Stop it!

What's wrong with you?

Let go of me!
Get off!

Pull yourself together!

Did you know?

A person can't posess another.

I know it well!

Yeah! I know it well!

Take me!
Take all of me!

Take me!

It's me, Jayo.

Can I come over?

I don't wanna sleep alone.

Seuin... he disappeared

Your lunch set is ready.
Thank you

I did you a favor, and fries is how you repay me?

What else do you want?

Is Seuin back?

- The biscuits are ready
- Okay!

Here's your double set, sir.

Hey,

why do you have to make money?

I told you I'm on my own.

Seuin used to helped me out.

I can do the same

Aren't you going home?

You're upset, aren't you?

When you get angry,
it reminds me of my dead father

Is that why you slept with me?
Cause I look like your father?

Maybe

I orignally wanted to work
in pediatrics and treat cute kids

But I got stuck in urology.

Having to stick shots in guys' butts

It's unfair.

Know what?

Would you believe that
I saw a lot of guys' things?

You must have loved it.

Do you masturbate like other guys?

Doesn't everybody?

After you met me too?

- Two cokes, please
- Yes mam!

Yeah, maybe

Like it? Don't you feel like
loving me more and more?

It's a present

It hurts

Are you also hurt by
your past love like Seuin?

Are you?

That's why you're not
interested in me?

Of course not.
I'm doing it with you now

That's what I mean.

Can't you do more than this?

I've never thought about it.

Don't press down. It hurts.

You've never thought about it?

Don't use this today.

Give it to me.

- No
- Come on

No. Just do without it

I can bear three sons
who look like you

You're crazy

But I won't tell them
who their father is

Not a bad deal

I forgot today's
my mom's birthday

Did I tell you my mom and I live apart?

Namok!

Yeah, go ahead.

Do you wanna stop meeting?

I'd like to
How about you?

I'm really late
Bye

- Why
- You guys go first

Bye

Seuin

How... have you been?

Are you all right now?

I can't deal with it.

I can't anymore.

I can't stand it.

I can't do anything
without thinking about you

I've been floating like a ghost

When I think about you
I can't even breathe

I can't stand it any longer

Don't write to me any more

You're still too young

Go back and start over again.

What sidedish do you want?
You're not drinking?

Anything you can cook quickly

If you want more, cook it yourself

You're not leaving?

Shit! How can I leave my drink here?

You wanted to come here?

Well, I don't understand

why you have to drink

Sometimes I don't
feel like doing anything

Not going to work,
forgetting everything

and have sex all the time

Don't you think it's wonderful?

Doesn't sound bad

Do whatever you fuckin want!

Get out of here!

Let go of me!

Get out of here!

- Get out!
- Let go of me!

Do whatever!

Get out of here!

Get out!

That woman is my mom.

You said
you wanted to break up?

If that's what you want,
then go ahead

There's nothing I can do.

I'll be all right.

Were you okay?

You bastard!

Pick one of the three reasons
why you came back

First, because you had nowhere to go

Second, for no special reason.

Third... Because you missed me.

It's probably... for no special reason

How about a drink?

- Now?
- Right now. This instant

That way we have more time to drink

You're crazy.
But it doesn't sound bad

Are you all right?

I'm all right.
How about you?

Yeah... I'm all right.

Wanna run?

Yeah!

You're not running?

It's all right!

It's all right!

Happy birthday to you!

Wait a minute!

Why aren't you tough like a man?

A man should down
the first shot, right?

Asshole. I'm closed today

Why are you so upset?
I've got some money today

Close the door!

I've done nothing for Namok.

She supported herself
and became a nurse

All I've done is fed her

and gave her a place

Was it a month ago?

She left here to be on her own.

Then she came back again.

You slept with her, didn't you?

Well, I...

You're not just using her, right?

If that's all, then take your hands off

That's what a man should do

You've misunderstood...

Okay then. You can go now.

Someone who gets hurt,
always hurts another

What are you waiting for?
Didn't I tell you to go?

She's drunk out of her mind.

Women sure know how
to drink if they want to

From the psychological view,

I think we're all garbage.

You're at it again.

She got into grad school.

Had to congratulate her.

Now it's all right.

Everything's all right.

The hardest thing to deal with
was fighting myself

I wanna get this fight over with.

Even though I quit, I hope you keep
fighting till the end

Cause Jayo... you're my alter ego and my hope

Junghae Yoon

Bastard! Coward!

You're only a walking sex disease...

You thought I couldn't wait?

Of course I can wait for you

You're nothing,
but a coward who can't love

Bad boy...

Where are you?

I came to your place
to start things over

I told you, right?
I don't wanna get hurt.

I'm not stepping outside
until you come back not one step

From now on think
about how you'll live

Forget everything and live, okay?

The confusion we went through
at the threshold of our twenties

It wasn't all about sex.

Okay... I have to stop
Now it's time to open my mind

Jayo? It's Jayo, right?

Jayo

Jayo!

Namok!

I miss you.

Namok!

Namok, I...

I'm coming to you...

Namok, I'm coming back right now
