When Romance Meets Destiny (2005) - full transcript

1997... when a bag of chips was 40 cents...

She was a freshman, I was a senior...

For someone my age, losing your heart

to a 19 year old was a little embarrassing...

- Hello Kwangshik.
- Hey there.

Hi.

KWANGSHIK

I hid my true feelings for months...

But I decided to confess my love

through a song during a club trip.

That was the trend back then in the 90s...



Kwangshik, why did you get up? Are you gonna sing?

Well, I thought, maybe...

Since I have something to say to everyone,
can't you sing afterwards?

Sure, whatever.

Hey, since you're ready to play...

7 years since I joined this club...

Some of you may wonder

why a senior like me
would tag along...

There's a reason why I put up with
all your glances and remarks...

Kwangshik, slower man...

So this is it...

I, Yoongyung...

I really like Go Yoongyung.

- What is this?
- What?



- Man, you're like a high school kid!
- Act your age!

Fine!

If you have a problem
with me and Yoongyung,

take me away and kill me.

And in my stead, make her
the happiest person in the world.

One! Two! Three!

Let's go!

Could there be anything more
tragic than that during your 20s?

She's born to be slim.

- If your boobs...
- Hey!

- Bro!
- What?

A machine like this would be cool.

You put it over a woman's body,
it turns on just like this photometer.

Kissing probability, 60%.
Fondling, 80%.

- Sex, 90%... something like that.
- Crazy kid.

Don't men get ashamed because

they can't read a woman's mind?

Why can't they make a machine like that?
It would sell really well.

Stop hanging out with
my brother Kwangtae!

Hey, Mr. Peace Keeper.

Quick!

Peace keeper? What do you mean?

- Do you want to know why?
- Trash your cigarette in a rental studio.

Back in college, there was a very
pretty freshman girl in our school club.

You know how guys are,

- We only paid attention to her.
- So what happened?

So all the other girls in the club
became jealous,

and they all decided to quit the club.

But this guy bought the other girls lunch,
took them to the movies,

wrote reports for them...

And kept the peace at our club.

I heard that back then
he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Excuse me,

Do you know what your husband
did yesterday at his bachelor party?

Excuse me?

You reek of alcohol.

- How much did you drink this time?
- I don't remember.

Stop drinking and falling asleep at the store.
And get rid of that futon bed.

What would the customers think?

How cool man...

Longjohns with the layer of air.
You always wear that man.

It keeps you seven degrees warmer.

I got one for you too so wear it.
Got it?

Not much use for that, right?
When was the last time?

Hey, I use it everyday.
Every two hours.

Pissing aside...
Wow, it looks really swollen.

Get rid of your dyed hair.
It doesn't look good.

Jiyoung and Sunmin,
switch places please.

Good.

Kwangsuk!
You should be in this picture too!

Kwangshik, not Kwangsuk.

Kwangshik, join us!

No thanks.
I'll just take the pictures.

You've hurt his pride.

I'm sorry Kwangshik.
Please come take the picture with us.

Boss, I'll take it.

Hey look, Yoongyung's here.

Thank you.

Who, um...

Kwangshik.

Let's see...
Yoongyung, right?

Go Yoongyung.

How have you been?

Oh well, you know...

You remembered my name.

Yoo Kwangshik, Photo Club member.

You don't wear glasses anymore?

No. I had Lasik surgery done.

I heard that you had gone to America.

My whole family emigrated and
I came back by myself last year.

Now I'm living alone on Ilwon street.

I run a photo studio in Jamsil.
It's pretty close to Ilwon, no?

It can be close but can also be far.

Right, Ilwon is a long street,
could be far...

If I think it's close,
I'll stop by sometime.

When?

A month passed,

and she must not have thought
that Jamsil was close by.

Hello?

You wanted passport photos, right?

Yes. I didn't even realize
that my passport had expired.

I wanted to spend Christmas with my family.

I have to get this done so
I can at least see them on New Year's Day.

They could always
come and see you in Korea.

That's a little hard.

I always thought that your photographs
were unique back in college.

Now,
you're taking these kinds of pictures.

I guess my taste has changed.

I really wanted to learn photography too.

- But...
- Back in college,

I asked you to teach me photography.

When? I don't remember that.

I thought I did.
Are you sure you don't remember?

Yes. I usually remember everything.
I have a very good memory.

You used to live in Boondang.

I remember taking the #1005-1 bus
to go there.

- Forget it!
- Mr. Ahn.

You were at the wedding last time,
right?

You were in a navy suit.

There are so many people here
with good memories.

Ilwoong, wait for the photos to finish
and bring them later.

Yes boss.

- How much is it?
- Don't worry.

Think of it as a Christmas present.

But I haven't prepared a present for you.

Then, will you take this?

It's enough for me.

They're Hotchkiss staples.

Hotch... staples.

Do you know that
there are five thousand staples

in that box? Five thousand.

But no matter how many times you use it

you won't use more than
100 staples a year.

So since I just bought
a box with five thousand staples,

I won't buy another one for fifty years.

I may never buy staples again
in my whole life.

But since I gave you half of them today,

I may buy another box
in twenty-five years

when I'm an old woman

I'll be able to think of you again then!

You'll remember me as the one
who made you

buy another box of staples
before you died.

Do you keep in touch
with other girls from the club?

You were close with many of them.

- When was I...?
- Back in college,

you went out to eat with
so many different girls.

It was so I could eat with you.

And you went to the movies with
a different girl each week.

It was so I could go with you.

This is the couples special.
The special Xmas holiday cocktail.

This drink will make you so hot, hot

she'll say,
'I don't want to go home tonight.'

Hope you two have a HOT Christmas!

You know, we're not a couple.

Do you think you will say that
after drinking this?

Happy Birthday to you,
happy birthday to you

- Is Jesus turning 2004 years old today?
- Right, if he is alive right now.

Do you know that when Jesus turned 1997,
we were together too?

Were we?

When I was a freshman,
a group of us hung out together on Christmas.

Oh, that's right. We did.

You took me home that night.

I did?

Shouldn't someone else
have taken you home instead?

Myungchan drank too much
so you took me home.

We took the #1005-1 bus.

Did I really?

Of course. How could I forget?

Where is your house?

Over there. Sambo Apartment.

I'll let you take it from here.
Good night.

Thank you for coming with me this far.

Did you know
that I got very nervous then?

I wouldn't have it you hadn't come,
but you came all the way to Boondang.

We were only 200 meters from my house.

Well, you know.

Hey boss!

- How did you find us?
- Not many options in this hood.

- The photos...
- Right.

I airbrushed out some of the marks
on your face.

I didn't think I had a lot of marks
on my face.

Does my face not take makeup well?

Aren't you going back?

I don't need your name.

There's just one thing

I really want.

Your phone number.

I, I, really want
Your phone number.

'As Time Passes By'
has been reserved.

Your phone number.
I really want.

Your phone number.

Give it away Stop

Hey stop, unresistable attraction stop!

ASA I saw you,
the world have stopped.

Just ten minutes,
I'm not a bad guy

Yo, Come on!

Same old, same old story.

I don't like it either
I won't say anything

I am not jealous for anybody

I have everything that I need

Wow, you're really good.

- You should sing one too.
- You think so?

What a stupid love

'As Time Passes By?has been reserved.
Tomorrow seems so far

I know the result but I am afraid

Any sudden chance
could send you away

that I haven't heard of

'As Time Passes By'
has been cancelled.

You promise the future
but I promise 'good-bye'

I forgot completely
that we are together now

This stupid love holds me tightly...

As Time Passes By

You...

You asked for a room replacement, right?

- Is the big room free now?
- Yes!

Ilwon street is pretty close.

Will you walk me to my door tonight?

You know... actually...

7 years ago...

when we got off that bus...

I drank too much beer that night.

I thought I would burst on that bus.

When I got off the bus,

I knew I couldn't walk you to your door.

But I watched you until you went inside.

I know.

You acted so strange that I got curious.

So I turned around
while crossing the crosswalk.

I know you followed me
to my house later.

But I didn't turn around because
I thought you would be embarrassed.

After that day, I thought of you

every time I went to the bathroom...
every two hours.

- We're here.
- Right.

Kiss her you idiot!

Merry Christmas.

You too.

I'm going.

It's this way.

Do you like seeing her by yourself?

- You like it?
- I didn't meet her.

- You like it?
- Do you think it's her first time?

So what if I meet her?

- So what if I see her?
- Yeah I slept with her.

So what if I see her?

- Let's meet her together.
- What are you doing!

- Should we just die like this?
- I'll let you die tonight.

Please look this way...

Man, this is hard.

Oh, it's cold. Hmm?

Do you want some?

- No, it's OK.
- Please, have some.

We're cold and hungry,
and you're offering us chocolate?

Well, today is Valentine's Day.

You know that girl Yoongyung...

She was the girl that all the guys
in the club liked, right?

Yoongyung?

Oh, that Yoongyung? Why?

Then you must have liked
her too, right?

Me?

No, she was like a little sister to me.

Oh, that's right.
You were the club's peace keeper.

I wonder
when she will come back from America.

Didn't she say that she would be back
after the holidays?

Well now.
I wonder when she will be back.

She said she wanted to learn photography,
so I told her I would teach her.

When did you say that?

Do you think I had no time to say that?

- Oh! I'm so sorry!
- Oh, it's OK.

When did you two get in yesterday?
I couldn't reach you on the phone...

Don't get me started.
We spent all day in the woods.

On Valentine's Day of all days...

You slept at the store again yesterday,
didn't you?

Hey.
Some woman told me to give you this.

I'm going to the sauna!

She didn't have to...

I told her not to send it here
to the studio.

Oh, who could it be?

Have some chocolate.

You're doing alright.

You can have more if you want.

Thanks.

Not bad.

Teach me photography - Yoongyung

She wanted to learn photography
so I told her I would teach her.

You told people
not to smoke in the studio.

Oh.

Do you want more chocolate instead?

No thanks. It tastes pretty bad.

Well, I told Yoon-gyung to come out.
Do you want to have a drink with us?

Oh, is she back?

Yeah. I told her I wanted to see her
and she asked me to bring you.

You can see her by yourself.

Ilwoong may be young,
but he is very mature.

He is relatively honest.
And his brain works pretty fast.

He wasn't even a photography major
but after being my assistant for a year,

he's better than people who majored in it.

Stop saying those things.
It looks like someone put you up to it

And his father is in the military.
A regiment commander, right?

A one star!

He comes from a good family.
So maybe that's why he has good business sense.

Wow, all this is just off
the top of my head.

I think there would be a lot more
if we dug deeper.

Ilwoong will...

teach you photography really well.

Even when learning
how to shoot pool,

it's better to learn from an amateur.

Because an amateur can come down
to the level of a novice.

Oh come on. I shoot pool
better than an amateur.

How does a guy
who always wears longjohns

get sick for a week at the end of winter?

Can't even hold a spoon.

Are you ok with leaving Ilwoong
in charge of the studio?

At least one of us has to
succeed with our stores.

People are talking about
how those young guys are

wasting
their parents' insurance money.

You don't even know that.

You turned your cell phone off again.

Hey!

Is there something else
bothering you besides this cold?

You just worry about yourself.

Alright.

Kwangshik! You are really weird!
Yoongyung

OK. I'll go see.

Where did you say the boiler was?

Left at the bottom of the stairs.

Good.

What is it? What's wrong?

How would I know?
Do I look like MacGyver?

So you aren't MacGyver?

Meow!

Damn cat!

Gotta call the repairman.

I can't fix it on my own.

But you said
we didn't need a repairman.

It's cold... What'll I do?

We have no choice.
I'll just have to become a human boiler...

Stop kidding around!

I'm starving, you got Ramen?

- Boiler is working
- Yes, boiler...

I told you that he's a humanoid boiler.

Don't go to far!

Hey big brother...

What are you doing here?

Nothing.

- You're drunk.
- I'm not.

Yes you are.

Hey, what's wrong?

Feeling bad?

Kwangtae...

You know I like shrimp, right?

I...

And I really like fried rice too.

But I can't stand shrimp fried rice at all.

Shrimp is good as shrimp.
And fried rice is good as fried rice.

But shrimp fried rice is a tragic mix!

Hey man, I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Two people
I like as individuals are seeing

each other.

It's a serious relationship.

So your shrimp fried rice...
this is about them?

The same thing happened 7 years ago.

So history is repeating itself.

So who is the shrimp,
and who is the fried rice?

Kwangtae!

Kwangtae!

You little shit!

It feels like the film keeps getting cut.
That's what happens when you drink.

No. My condition is a bit more severe.

Did you see the movie Memento?

That's like my life.

Sometimes, I can't remember anything
I said or did when I was drunk.

I'm like that too.

The promises I make while I'm drinking
are forgotten the next day.

'Tomorrow, I will treat my patients
with more care.'

'I'll stop going to see those girls
at the room salons.'

I'll call my sister
whom I haven't seen in years.'

That's what I think when I drink.
But I forget everything when I sober up.

That's what alcohol does to you.

- How old are you?
- Twenty-six.

Your liver looks like it's 45 years old.
Cut down on your drinking.

KWANGTAE

In my opinion, the magic number is 12
in male-female relationships.

Enjoy your video!

Problems always arise
after you sleep with her 12 times.

Men start to get bored around
that time,

and women start to get attached.

So the point is,

the cool thing to do is
break up before the 12th time.

That might work one or two times,

but it's a bother to keep count
after the 10th time.

I use this method.

Every time I make it with a new chick,
and get a new card stamped.

- You know coffee house coupons?
- They only hold 10 stamps.

Starbucks only has 10.

But Coffee Bin has 12.

So I break up cleanly before I get
my 12th stamp and that free cup of coffee.

Don't forget.
Magic number 12.

Hey! What the hell?

You son of a bitch!

Calm down, calm down.

This isn't the first time. Calm down!

Isn't it that bitch Joo-young? Huh?

Is she Joo Young? Damn...!

You son of a bitch!

Hey! Just keeping living that way!

- Didn't you say you broke up with her?
- We did.

Then what the hell is this? Shit...
You slept more than 12 times, right?

How can you talk like
that in a situation like this?

You have to do it right
when you break up with a girl.

'The only thing he wants was sex'
You can't let them think that.

- Just keep your head down.
- What you guys doing?

She might throw another stone!

Jam. Na. Poong. Chung

What? You decided later
that it never happened?

You're just saying that
because I can't remember, right?

Oh, forget it, you bastard.
And hey, hey, hey.

Where is the race route?
Huh? What? Oh. OK, OK.

We'll look at the situation. OK. Right.

The house wives marathon club.

Yeah, well, just about. OK, OK. Bye.

- 4!
- 4!

- 3!
- 3!

- 2!
- 2!

- 1!
- 1!

You look different from
the other runners.

I take it this isn't your first time?

Who are you?

Our eyes met back there
while we were stretching!

Actually, this is my first marathon.
But I'm OK. It isn't so hard.

Oh don't worry about me.
My heart is pretty strong. Oh, hey.

Well...

Do you want to have some tea
after we finish?

If you want to, keep running
as you are now.

And if you don't want to,
tumble three times.

OK, OK. Then I'll be waiting for you

at the finish line.

Don't push yourself so hard.

PULL

You can just push it lightly.
Why do you pull so hard?

That's what the sign says.
It's a kind of a business contract, no?

What are you talking about?

Business contract.
You should stick to basic rules.

Or is your personal rule
to break such rules?

Every time we went to
the sauna together

my older brother asks
the same question...

What are you thinking about
these days?

Hello, hello.

Not her, the one behind her
in the pink.

No, further behind. Yes, yes, yes.

You are number 1972, right?
From the marathon.

You were number 1972, right?

Look out your window. Your window.

You see the #705 bus, right? #705.

Look here! Over here!

Here! Here!

Who are you?

Come on, from the marathon.
Oh, that's right. I had yellow hair back then.

- Number 1718?
- Yes, yes, that's right. Yes, yes...

What?

Hey. I'm curious about something.

Did you wait for me
at the end of the marathon?

No. Were you serious back then?

Of course not. I was kidding, right.

That's good.

I was worried about
putting someone out...

Well then... have a good time!

Driver! Stop!

I thought about it,
and it was just too cruel.

- What was cruel?
- What if I had really waited?

How could you just leave? Huh?

I thought you said you were kidding.

But you didn't know at the time. Right?

Then shouldn't
you have at least waited? Huh?

Isn't that what a promise
is supposed to be?

I never said I waited.

And because you talked too much,
you couldn't finish the race, right?

I washed my contact lenses
in that water...

Lee Gyungjae
Artistic, bookbinding...

What is this?

Just think of it as helping people
to read books for a long time.

4 hours and 43 minutes!

That's the time of
the last runner that day.

10,000 Videos

- You want me to bind this?
- Yes! Is it no good?

It isn't that, but...

When I first saw you...

I wasn't trying playing around
with a one-liner...

- Gyungjae?
- Yes?

Will you slap me on the cheek?

What?

Slap me on the cheek.

Why would I do that?

Try it. What could happen?
Come on.

Since you hit my cheek,

I'm going to hit your cheek too.

Stop laughing.
You're making me feel bad.

Why are people here?

On Christmas Eve?

Stop it. Just watch the movie.

Let me go!

Come on! I saw this on video already.

And who comes to a drive-in
to watch a movie?

Oh, wait, wait, wait.
OK, I'll stop.

Gyungjae,
just let me touch them each once.

Everyone is doing it here. Just once...

I'll have to leave if you keep doing this.

Come on.

What? Is my face a stamp?
All you do is put spit on it.

Then we won't kiss anymore either.

Do you know what I heard
about dating in the West?

Couples on average sleep together
on their third date.

Doesn't Korea also belong among developed nations?

But we're so far behind them
in this area.

We should be trying
to catch up with them!

And that can only happen

if people like us can change.

That's all you think about
when you see me, right?

Look. We're still talking
as if we don't know each other.

That's because there is no progress.

- That's why we can't get closer.
- Then let's start talking frankly Kwangtae.

What the hell?

- Weren't you feeding me a scenario
- Scenario? When did I?

You said you waited for me for two hours
after the marathon. So we could have tea!

Are you stupid?
Did you believe me?

Developed nations,
developed nation, Korea is,

Developed nations, developed nation.

Alright...

- I'll do it.
- Thanks.

All I need to do is taking a shower.

I am naked, I am naked.

Nice longjohns...

Oh my God. All because of my brother.

Hold on... I'm done, done. All done.

I just have to take this off.

Forget it. The mood is gone.

I can do it. I can revive the mood,
all of it, again...

- Stop
- Were they fake ones?

Hey!

They can't be imported because of
the company bankrupted?

They are the best in the market!

Are you saying I won't be able to use

Japanese apple-flavored condoms
anymore?

Yes, my heart is breaking.

Do not walk through the bumpy road

Actually I tried to switch before.

I've used it for more than five years.
I feel like I'm losing a friend.

Do I have to hear this
at the start of the new year?

How about a new year's resolution?
Aren't you supposed to make something like that?

Kwangtae!

Let's...

Let's stop drinking.

Wow, you already slept with
her five times?

It was so hard getting the first stamp.

I wish I could start a coupon
with someone...

- Who is it?
- I met her while working at a wedding...

She went to school with your brother.

If you mess with someone you know,
it could get messy later.

I don't know...

I don't even know when she is coming
back from America. I miss her.

You don't want to see her.
You want to do her.

It's not like that with her.

Men have two types of feelings
for a woman.

The feeling below your waist
and the feeling above your waist.

I think I have feelings above for her.

Oh shit, I found it.

Japanese fruit flavored condom!!

How many guys have you slept with
before me?

Why do guys always
want to know that?

Guys?

Well, what?

What other guys asked you that?
Tell me.

You're my third.

That's what women always say.

It's obvious you aren't the first one.

And if they say you're second,
that's right after the first, too much to bear.

So saying you're the third is
the safest reply.

Anything more makes the girl look
too experienced.

But hey, that doesn't make sense.

Sex is something
men and women do together.

So their averages should be the same.

But when asked?
Men always have many more partners.

Guys pay for sex.

That doesn't count.

Truth is, women lie
and say a lower number.

Then?

Do you want me to be honest too?

Yes, you know I'm a modern guy.

So let's try this method...

Is your number closer to a
basketball team or a soccer team?

- How many on a basketball team?
- 5

And 11 on a soccer team?

Then it's somewhere
in between those two.

So...
Which team is it closer to?

You're really cute... let's go...

What are we doing at a motel
on Valentine's Day?

Fine, forget it.
Just forget about the chocolate I got you.

What am I, some high school kid?

Would I take a present like that
from a high school kid?

Stop thinking that you have to do something special
just because it's Valentine's Day.

It's way cooler to spend today
like any other day.

- You're a real bastard.
- So are you!

Are you here to take a picture?
The guys aren't here right now...

Did Kwangshik go somewhere?
His phone doesn't work...

Yeah, he's on a business trip.

Now where was exactly did he go...?

Sorry, not sure...
Who are you?

You could say I'm like his younger sister.

Hey, then we must be related.

I'm Kwangshik's younger brother,
Yoo Kwangtae.

Ilwoong's friend Kwangtae?

Oh, you must be the one
he was waiting for.

What?

If you like chocolate...

Would you like some?

Or may not...

Will you deliver this for me?

- I'm sure Ilwoong will really like it.
- No. It's for Kwangshik.

For my brother?
Not Ilwoong?

I didn't have time to prepare one
for Ilwoong.

- I'll see you next time.
- Right...? Have a good night!

When did you two get in yesterday?
I couldn't reach you on the phone

Don't start. We spent all day
in the woods,

on Valentine's Day of all days...

You slept at the store again, right?

Hey, where do I put this video

'We Just Got Married? '

In the horror section.

Right, the horror section.

- Yeah, I took that family photo like an artist.
- Good Job.

You feel free
since Kwangshik isn't here.

How is it going with
my brother's schoolmate?

Nothing bad happened for a week
so it can't be too bad!

Don't ask. It's driving me nuts.
She isn't opening her heart up to me.

Then make her open her body
up to you first.

What's wrong with her?

Didn't she give you chocolate
for Valentine's Day?

That's right. I don't get it...

- She lives by herself?
- Yeah.

Hmm... then go over to her place.
And break the boiler.

Just take one part out.
It should be easy.

- And then?
- When a boiler breaks,

women always call a guy
before calling the landlord or the repairman.

So you want me to win points
by fixing her boiler?

Idiot! You can't fix it right away.

You'll end up sleeping over that night.

- Where did you learn a trick like that
- Hey, you bastard. Hey, hey.

Going to island for the day and
missing the last boat back?

It's the same kind of thing

She knows what you're doing
but she'll go along,

if she has even the smallest feelings
for you.

I'm going.

Don't take out a major part of the boiler.
It will kill you.

That woman is the wife of
director Felini.

Man, she's ugly.
Maybe she's deformed.

Oh, I'm sleepy.
Hey, lift your butt a little.

- I'm trying to wake up.
- Just go to sleep then!

Oh, it's over. Let's go.

Hey, did you cry? Huh?

- Let's stop seeing each other!
- What are you talking about?

Do you know that you only
touch me in three places?

Three places? Here... here...

What's the matter? Huh?

I know you want to end
this about now too...

How can love turn into this?

Because it wasn't love.
Was it love for you?

Why did you meet me?

I like to fix old books

and preserve them for a long time.

And you have a lot of
things to be fixed...

But I don't want to fix it anymore.

So you want to break up?

Your coupon is full.
Your next cup of coffee is free.

Please pick up your drink
at the next counter.

- Shit! You got stamped!
- Yeah, I guess so.

Man, you look so happy.

I'm ending and you're starting.

Good for you!

Ilwoong is... yeah... Ilwoong is... yeah.

I'm down and out but Ilwoong is...

Hey, Who's the shrimp
and who's the fried rice?

Is it...

Ilwoong and that schoolmate of yours?
That Yoongyung or whoever?

So you're acting like
this because of them?

Do they know? That you're like this?

I doubt it.
I never showed my feelings to her...

Why not?

I don't know.
Maybe it's just my character.

Just forget about her.

They... from today...
they got stamped.

Let's be strong.

Actually, I broke up with someone today too.

How does a guy who broke up with
someone look completely ok?

I'm just made like that, I guess.

Hey. Did you ever tell a woman
that you loved her?

Well you know... at my age...

Did you?

Well you know...
with all the women I've dated...

I've never said "I love you" to anyone...

Me too...

WHEN ROMANCE MEETS DESTINY

3 months later

Hey brother...

Why did Mom and Dad

go to the department store
on the day it collapsed?

They didn't like shopping too much.

Dad liked eating at the department
store noodle shop.

Damn noodles.

Excuse me...

Do you have any leftover soju
that I could borrow?

Sorry, none left.

- Well, will one bottle be enough?
- Yes.

Hey, I was going to drink that.

My God.

Here you go.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

What if heaven decides that
two people are supposed to be together?

But those two people don't know

that they are destined to be together.

So that woman and I could be fated

by heaven to be together...

But by accident of fate,

these two see each other

for the last time...

Seeing that,
wouldn't Got be frustrated?

He would think,
I made these two for each other,

but they are walking away like idiots.

Then I wish
He would give some kind of signal.

Like now
when I gave that woman the soju,

I wish a whistle would sound
and everything would stop.

Then she isn't meant for you.
I didn't hear anything.

I'm talking hypothetically!

To be or not to be, Just like hamlet

She really stinks.

Why did my brother get
worked up over a girl like that?

I'm the busiest guy in the world

Playing a both ways is hard to do

Hey!

This is all thanks to you.

Something like that!

Must see the movie that I saw

Must say something sweet
that I said

Excuse me, sir.

- Sir!
- Yes?

- Where are we?
- Sucho street.

Did I ask to come here?

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Your hairstyle... really cool.

- You're drunk again, aren't you?
- A little.

- Looks like more than a little.
- Really, just a little.

So why haven't you worked
on the book I gave you?

- It's been over six months.
- You really wanted me to bind that book?

I thought you brought it just
as an excuse to meet me.

Are you entering another marathon?
There sure are a lot of them...

Hey, should we do it together?
Like last time?

You're different from the others...

Some tea after the race?

Stop it. You're being ridiculous.

- If I do it, will you love me?
- Why are you like this?

Just try to remember tomorrow
what you're saying Kwangtae.

I will, I will remember.
When is it?

I'm putting the date
in my phone right now.

Kwangtae,

I'm waiting for someone.
So do me a favor and leave.

- A guy?
- That's none of your business.

We just broke up and you're already

- inviting men over...
- You're really funny.

If you're finished, get out!

Damn it...

Gyungjae, hey! Lee Gyungjae, hey!

What are you doing with the lights out!
Lee Gyungjae!

What are you doing with the lights out!

What are you doing?

- What does he do?
- What do you care?

- I'm so curious, it's killing me.
- He is a member in my marathon club.

You slept with him, right?

You haven't yet.
Right, you haven't slept with him.

A guy comes and leaves...

That means
you haven't sleep together.

But, you're going to, right?

- Kwangtae! You're being ridiculous!
- Lee Gyungjae!

Don't sleep with him! Don't sleep...
Ok, I got it...

You said it, right? Before you met me...
Basketball, soccer team... I get it.

I understand, everything...

Why am I getting so worked up about
you sleeping with someone else?

- I don't know. I hate this.
- Didn't you want to be cool and end it?

Think about the time
we spent together.

I have no fond memories with you.

That's right, Gyungjae
and I had no real memories.

No special places,
no memorable conversations...

Just motel, car, motel... That was it.

PULL

Ilwoong will like it.

Kwangshik...
It's for Kwangshik...

Oh shit.

Hey big brother...

I have a confession.

Last month, I took your credit card

and spent $400 at a nightclub.

When you see Boss 667 on your statement,
know that it was me.

And, there's one more thing!

But maybe it isn't so bad.

It's...

Last Valentine's Yoongyung brought
a basket of chocolate for you,

but I was drunk and
gave it to Ilwoong instead.

Sounds like an excuse, but my little
mistake made things turn out like this...

You don't think fate
is so easy to break, right?

Anyway, I've confessed!
So my sin is absolved!

Mommy!

I've been good since then.

Right? Good brother, have compassion!
You're a compassionate guy, right?

Give me back my $400!

Your photos are getting better.

- Did you see them?
- Yeah. In the dark room.

Oh, I told him not to let you see them
It's embarrassing...

On Valentine's Day...

when you gave Ilwoong chocolate...

That was really...

from what country?

I'm not sure.

Maybe from the Netherlands?

So that's why it tasted so good.

That's what they're known for.

Finding your soul mate...

I think it includes accidents of fate.

- Hiddink must be living well back home...
- Kwangshik...

I want to thank you.

For what?

For many things.

I've heard
'Thank you' from many women.

Those words don't hold any passion.

They just mean,
'You're a really nice person.'

You're a really nice person.

I can think of you as
a good brother, right?

She like me as a brother!

I thought of all the girls
I've known in my life.

I always lost the chance to love them

as a man rather than
as an older brother.

Because it would be like incest...

What's this?

Here she goes.

- What? You bastard!
- Hey, man. You're getting married?

My father is getting discharged
this year.

He says one of his kids should get married
while he's still in service.

Do you think marriage is a joke?

- That's how people get married.
- What do you know about marriage?

Listen, after you sleep with a woman.

You wanna leave or want her to.

But after you're married, you're gonna
wake up with her every morning...

Isn't that fuckin scary?

Yoongyung's parents
went to the U.S.

Because their business here failed.

She keeps saying that she has to go back
because she's worried about them.

I can't keep her here just by
saying that I love her.

That's why...
I said we should get married.

- Have a drink!
- No thanks!

From now, you and I won't
hang out anymore.

From now, you're not
part of our club anymore.

Got it?

What happens when one of us leaves?

Kwangtae! It's just you and me now.
You're jealous right?

Shit, I'm getting drunk.

I was just wondering...

Do you know...

how my brother

feels about you?

You've noticed, right?

Why?

Just wondering...

Well I'm not stupid, so I had a hunch.

But... women can't act on a hunch.

I love Ilwoong.

10,000 Videos

My brother disappeared to somewhere.

Maybe he thought that was
the way of keeping the peace.

One day, in a dream...

I saw him in Iraq in a
peace keeper's uniform

Kwangshik, be strong!

Salute!

Marriage/ Kim Ilwoong Ko Yunkyung
I'm gonna preside.

Eudong, presiding at a wedding is

what successful businessmen
like myself do.

- I passed the civil service exam.
- Let's talk again after you pass interview.

We request that you
turn off your cell phones,

or put them on silent mode.

But if we hear your phone
during the ceremony,

members of the special forces here

will shoot you on the spot.

Groom, please come forward.

Bride, please come forward.

No matter how strong and great
the warriors are on the front lines,

without the help from the rear guard,

victory will never be achieved.

Thank you very much.

Well, thank you very much for that.

Now, the Army choral group will...

Yes, so now...

brother!

No!

Hey man!

Even though...

you smile at me...

- can't hide that tired expression.
- Sing a song!

Can't hide it. With those sad

You turn to look at me.
And tired eyes

you just look at me.

I know it too.

Our love ends here

Even if we both want it

this can't last forever.

As time goes by

my heart breaks and longs for you

Even if we forget remember
that our love

that our love was
more precious than anything.

As time goes by my heart breaks
and longs for you

Even if we forget

remember that our love

was more precious than anything.

More precious than anything.

Encore!

Encore!

Is this fate?

No, it isn't.

If it's meant to happen,
it will happen somehow.

I kept her in my heart for seven years...

but I never thought anything
would really happen between us.

Maybe I liked that feeling
of missing someone.

I guess I liked living on
that one-way street.

I won't do stupid things
like this anymore.

Marathon with Gyungjae

Hey, what are you doing?
Wake up!

What's up with you and
your brother today?

You can take it from here.

Me?

Pull

Push

How much would the world change

if everyone did what they promised
while they were drunk?

That drunken promise.
I want to keep it this time.

I don't know if I loved
Gyungjae or not.

All I know is

that I need to see her
like crazy right now.

Gyungjae!

Lee Gyungjae!

Gyungjae!

Gyungjae is traveling abroad
right now...

Why are you looking for her?

6 months later

You were here last Christmas too,
right?

You were a beautiful couple.

But now, you're a lonely...
no... an extravagant single.

Excuse me,

but haven't we met before?

Well, I'm not sure, maybe...

Yes...

Oh no, fire, fire!
Quick, get the fire extinguisher!

Get the extinguisher!

- It's alarming
- It must have malfunctioned.

Fire has already been extinguished.

Turn off the alarm.

What the?
Where is it coming from?

Hey big brother,
get it right this time, ok?

- I must have fallen asleep.
- Yes! You slept for more than an hour.

You must be weak with alcohol.
It was just a whiskey shot.

It was my first time in six months.

Would you like to
take a Polaroid picture?

- No thanks. Just the check.
- One moment.

Hey little brother

Get it right yourself, ok?
