Shit~

Produced by KIM Eun-young

That loser is a typo in my life.

Director.

Hey, I'm done, take a look.

He's the fucking... director

I'd love to delete from my life.

It just needs scene numbers

and a little editing.

No, that's ok.

Just send it to the producer.

And we'll pack up and leave.

What are we doing here

wasting a fine day like this?

I don't get it.

We just have to

jot down our own lives...

The hero's a screenwriter...

so why doesn't it seem real?

I was robbed of my cigarettes

and forced to.

We'll just rewrite it again...

We need to recharge and go!

We can do it!

Shit, we're doing nothing

but recharging...

I can't even tell off that loser.

Tell him to get his own shit together.

The new ending you suggested

is better, right?

Directed by KWON Chil-in

Ending...

what will my own ending be like?

Directed by KWON Chil-in

Tragedy? Or comedy?

HELLCATS

What? Two days will be enough?

Didn't I warn you it'll take longer?

The old power lines are a mess!

Huh.

What am I supposed to

tell our clients?!

You should've double-checked,

you idiot!

Hey, I'm home...

You want to make me look

like a total fool?

It's your ass if we're not done

by opening night!

Get it done, now!

Fast won't do! Finish it!

- Mom, your coffee.

- Awe shit!

Here...

Yuck. KIM Kang-ae! Didn't I say,

'don't change the coffee? '

Why drink it decaffeinated?

Milk would be better.

At least it's good for you!

Then drink milk

if it's so good for you!

Shit, it's my birthday today!

How can you be so oblivious?

A hot meal for your baby sister

is the least you could do!

Some birthday this is!

Happy birthday, auntie!

You're even worse!

My only niece treats me

like a boarder!

At least a boarder pays rent!

What?

And stop ordering

stupid things.

There's nothing but

your shit in the mailbox!

What's it for when you

can't even afford cosmetics?

I'm leaving this hellhole.

That's what you want, right?

Please do that for me, okay?

- Then I'm taking her room.

- Okay.

Why were you born?

With such an ugly face...

Why were you born?

You've got some nerve when you

can't even give me a decent party!

I was going for a laugh.

Would you laugh when you just

had cereal for your birthday?

Then move out of

your sister's place!

And come live in this dump?

Hey, it's my home

and I'm paying rent.

Home? It's a refugee camp where

all your bum buddies crash.

NA Won-suk! Clean up

after yourself for god's sake!

Empty the ashtray and

clean up your shit!

Trash is all over the place...

I stopped by the

department store for that.

How much?

How about...

finding a place to live together?

I've got no money.

Hey, we've been spending

enough on meals and motels...

When I get my down payment

it'll pay for the deposit.

Spending your part-time earnings

on rent will leave us penniless.

Right, didn't you say you received

a card from some company?

With my 3 thousand...

How much do you think you'll get?

Two thousand? Five?

What do you think of this melody?

Nice huh?

Uh? What's that?

Stop talking about money,

I've got none!

Fine, but I'm more worried about

not having worked for so long...

Come on, you're a professional.

Which means you want me

to do it for nothing...

- What's the height of the stage?

- About seven or eight meters.

That's the problem.

The entrance is too narrow.

This is Kyung-soo, 7th cycle.

This here is Kim Young-mi...

She's my direct senior in line.

Beware she used to be a man-killer.

Nice to meet you.

Your hand is cold.

They say cold hands,

burning body.

Enjoy, thank you.

It's LEE Ho-jae

who's more to blame.

Three years into the relationship...

He should've made a move already.

This isn't Brazil you know!

Amar e de coracao, garota.

Love is courage, girlfriend!

Didn't I tell you not to say things

I can't understand?

You want me to explain it to you?

Ho-jae is... this.

- G

- G

- A

- A

- Y

- Y

g-a-y, gay?

Give me a break!

The gay guy's here,

the gay guy.

For crying out loud...

You're early today?

We've still got half an hour left.

Sorry, but I can't drive you home.

The shop's just got a new bike.

Wow you're finally buying one?

Excellent, LEE Ho-jae.

Just wait a bit longer.

You'll be the first to ride my bike.

You want to join?

It'll hold three...

I mean...

I won't be living off you forever.

You'll have to beg me to stay

once I've made my breakthrough!

So when will this

breakthrough happen?

Li'l sis...

you moved in three years ago,

singing the same old tune.

Hey! Didn't I say

it's my birthday today?

You're a work-in-progress,

but one that will never end...

You little twerp!

Should you be drinking when

there's a blind date tomorrow?

It's not my idea.

Your other aunt

just wouldn't stop nagging me.

Does your pet boyfriend

know about this blind date?

It's nothing serious anyway.

But it'll break his heart...

Awe whatever!

Wake up! Love won't

put bread on your table.

Perfect marriage stipulations

won't give you happiness either.

I'm just saying it's not enough.

So what's your point?

That I should work my ass off

till I die, like you?

Unfortunately you're not

capable of doing that either.

You want me to die of

aggravation on my birthday?!

Birthday?

What's the big deal?

You have one every year.

Thirty two year old accountant.

Looks, not too bad.

He's been posted here from head office

in the US. Look at his style...

that unbearable 7:3 hair parting.

No thank you.

And he doesn't even smoke.

What a barbarian!

Why are you staring at me

like that?

No it's just that your hairstyle's

so proper.

Do you know why

the lettuce blushed?

No.

Because it saw the

salad dressing.

Huh, yeah... I see, right...

Then why is a man lost in the

desert able to survive?

I don't know.

Because of all the

sand which (sandwiches) is there...

Right...

What did the sandwich tell the

knife when he complained of... her edge (age).

Edge?

Cut it out.

Cut it out, I get it.

Hey, Won-suk!

- Were you sleeping?

- When did you come in?

Let's have some fun man.

Open up.

My feet are killing me.

Let's go over there.

There. Come here.

Why?

The boys are sleeping in there.

Good, they can join us

for a drink.

- What for?

- What's up with you?!

- Hey, hey!

- What's your problem?

Ah-mi, watch your feet.

- Come out here for a second.

- Let go of me.

- Watch your feet.

- I'm leaving.

- Move!

- Hey, your feet.

Ah-mi, just hear me out

for a second.

Let go!

So is this what you

had to work on all night?

It's not what you think...

Were you also banging some

girl when you disappeared...

...for music practice?

How could you do this to me?

And you call yourself a man?!

Okay, I fucked her!

We were drinking while monitoring

my music.

- She seemed to get me...

- Get you!

What's there to get?

Do you even get me at all?!

It's always money, marriage.

I hate talking about that stuff!

Yeah, I don't earn much!

So how the hell am I supposed

to get married, goddamn it!

You always made me feel like shit.

I had to get out...

Shut up!

Some nerve you have...

And what about you?

Where have you been

all dolled up like that?

You've been on a blind date,

haven't you?

You and me,

we can't live like this.

Okay, you've overcome your fear.

Lesson 2! 'Seduction'...

Follow my lead.

Squint your eyes dreamily.

Open your lips a bit

and lick them in a sexy way.

Are you kidding me?

Do it right!

Look. Dreamy eyes.

Straighten your shoulders!

Lips slightly parted.

Sexy, with your tongue.

Mi-ran, you must have ate garlic!

Shit, you stink!!

- I do not stink!

- I can't do it.

- You can! Yes you can!

- Forget it!

Heavy traffic.

Will b there in 10.

I've been waiting for an hour,

you son-of-a-bitch!

I miss u, Ah-mi.

Which means you wanna fuck,

right?

Sleep tight, sweet dreams.

Luv u.

Shit, you give me nightmares.

Love, my ass...

I'm gonna kill you!

Aunt Ah-mi! Come eat.

You can kill him later,

but first you need to eat.

Don't you know.

I hate eggs in my ramen?

Then don't eat it...

Ouch, it's hot!

Shoe-winging around~

shoe-winging around~

This crowd's a mess.

Let me pull you out of your shell.

And put you back in your p-lace.

What a crock!

- I really should get going.

- You're leaving?

Have fun...

- I'll take care of the check.

- You don't have to do that.

Ms KIM will take care of

the check.

Have fun! See you!

Thank you.

Are you leaving already?

With one less senior around,

you'll have more fun.

I'm unusual enough to

enjoy my seniors' company.

I'm not that into

unusual people.

You wanna bet whether

you're into me or not?

I'm not so good at bets.

Here.

I don't drink vending

machine coffee.

I know a place that has

terrific coffee.

Okay?

Hey lady, why do you do it?

Why, couldn't get aroused?

I mean, why are you in theatre?

It's not much money.

They same reason why you're in

when in fact, you're dirt poor.

Then... is it regret?

No, good bodies.

What's this smell?

What? The scent of a man.

You don't like it?

Who wears that these days?

Fabulous goods shine no matter

what you put on them.

You call that shining?

It's more like greasy.

Then buy me one of your liking.

Ask the girls who are after you

for one.

This is for cab fare. See ya~

This never happened, okay?

I loathe romance in the workplace.

I did my best.

I never pressured him!

What did I do that was so wrong?

No, I was wrong...

I love you... I love you!

He'll be regretting everything,

right?

I'm so fucking full!

Change this to vodka!

I'm going to the bathroom.

Hey, didn't I tell you not to

take her calls!

Hell she showed up at work

when I didn't take her calls...

Why is that bitch always

like that when she's drunk?

Great game.

Is it fun? I don't get it.

Uh?

It's you!

How nice to see you again...

- Uh, yes. Hello.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

- What brings you here?

- Me? Me and my friends...

Hey! Are you leaving!

Traitors.

Who me? I went out on

a blind date with him.

You're hair parting's 7:3 again.

Do you know why the

lettuce blushed?

Because it saw the salad dressing.

Then why is a man lost in the

desert able to survive?

Because of all the

sand which (sandwiches) is there...

Hey, stay put till I return

from the bathroom, okay?

Who is she?

Where do you live?

Where do you live?

I... don't have a home.

I have nothing.

All those lights, but not a

single one I can lay myself down...

I don't have a light to go back to.

Cinderella...

had lost her parents

while she was still young.

And was treated badly by

her stepmother and stepsisters.

Shaba shaba ai shaba~

how she must have wept~

Shaba shaba ai shaba~

I blacked out.

A bad breakup and then

a drunken one-night-stand...

I've become a typical heroine

in a typical screenplay.

From this day on,

I've decided to start over...

...as a new person.

I've let myself go for too long.

Rather than wasting my youth

with worry,

it would be nice and simple

to live thoughtlessly.

Ah, I'm back

KIM Ah-mi, you're not dead yet!!

'The great accountant has

invited you into his chat room'

- 'How are you? '

- The great accountant?

Who r u?

- 'OH Seung-won. '

- OH Seung-won?

Who is this guy?

- 'Your blind date last time... '

- Blind date?

'Don't be embarrassed.

Can we meet? '

Meet? What for?

- 'I have something to give you. Let's meet. '

- Something for me?

What in the hell could that be?

What's this about?

What do you have for me?

First, let me have my tea.

You're as aggressive

as the other night...

If it's about the other night...

The other night?

You mean us sleeping together?

What's your problem?!

I'm all yours now.

Since you pounced on

an innocent man.

I'm more naive than you think...

What's the big deal when

it was just one night of sex?

You sure have a loud voice...

What's this...

A present.

Up, it goes up...

The lights will be set below

this way to hit upward

I want it to look like an arch...

Hi there.

Hi, Kyung-soo.

Hello there.

So, it's this part.

You're early.

So you're saying you want to

attach a foot light?

You must have been on a date.

Hey...

You got something growing there?

So you'll be jumping off

this here.

- From the top of the shoe?

- Yeah.

Didn't I warn you not to

pull something like this!

There's no crime in saying hello.

Why are you being so difficult?

Wow, you look even more beautiful

when you're mad.

Anyway, I discovered that

women really need to be rich.

How can a piece of cloth cost $50?

Fifty dollars...

Hey, KIM Kang-ae.

Are you going to be stitching

like that all your life?

You're not a widow, you know!

Shit, I messed up again.

Hey!

- Drink this while you're at it.

- Thanks.

He's nice, cute and even tall.

Who would leave him be?

Hey, LEE Ho-jae!

Come to my place later.

No one's home today.

Uh, okay.

Sorry, but my Ho-jae

doesn't like this stuff.

He likes hangover recovery drinks!

Which reminds me,

let's grab some hamburgers

for our own hangovers. Now off we go!

Director!

- Director~

- Yeah, yeah...

It's been a year.

Your 'one more time' line has

led to 17 rewrites!

Don't you think you've exploited

the situation enough?

Yeah, of course I know.

You think I'm stupid?

But what else can I do?

The producer says it's too

shitty to pass on to actors.

Is that what he's saying?

That it's shitty?

Not exactly in those words, but...

Uh, hi!

Why are you always late?

You think I've got

nothing better to do?

Ms. KIM!

Just discuss things without me,

then go on and write your ass off.

Give me a break...

Okay then, I'll give you

a piece of my mind.

I am too embarrassed with this

script to pass it on to actors!

Oh are you?

So what should I do?

Should I just quit?

You know the famous

Minister JEONG?

The man who rewrote 100 times

to make it right?

That's the kind of spirit

you need, understand?

What's all this mess?

I'm doing it! Through loneliness

and sadness, I'm gonna write.

That's the only way

I can save myself!!

Hey, that butt's pretty intact!!

What is wrong with you?

Don't you want to live with us?

What's all this?

My niece has gone overboard

to treat her auntie!

Don't flatter yourself.

I'm expecting a guest soon,

so give me the apartment

for a couple of hours.

Where am I supposed to go!

Don't you have friends?

You're life is pretty pathetic.

At first, I was so confident.

That I'd show the world

what I've got.

But as each year passes...

...I don't have a clue of

what I'm doing anymore...

Do I get married?

Then I should've

become a civil servant...

Then quit everything?

How can I start over at this age?

What can I do?

I'll just have to keep on going.

I'll make them tremble

with a killer screenplay!!

What's there to life?

It just takes one homerun.

You smoke too much.

I know... this...

I did try to quit...

I see you're addicted.

Yeah... I am.

I have such pathetic will power.

That's hard to believe when

I haven't been a bit to win you over yet.

Yeah... that's true...

I'm the kind of girl who's

like a rock...

I'm not that easy!

Cheers!

Thanks a lot. Cheers...

- You're here.

- Yeah.

- What, flowers?

- Uh... yeah.

I guess your mom's still

coming home late.

Yeah.

And your aunt's still smoking,

right? That's not good.

Everyone's going to be late today.

Which means

we're the only one's here.

Whew, it's hot, isn't it?

You wanna play 'Iron Fist? '

I brought it just in case.

LEE Ho-jae! Are you a kid?

This isn't a game room!

I can't believe you're still

playing with those things!

Kang-ae, I'm sorry.

I wasn't aware you hated

'Iron Fist'.

Yeah, girls hate these things.

I wasn't thinking... sorry...

Forget it...

I think I'd better be alone.

Yeah? Okay.

Then call me when

you're feeling better.

It doesn't matter if it's late.

See ya.

YOO Mi-ran,

you can come out now.

Strange!

It's works in Brazil.

You drive me nuts!

I guess cultural

differences do exist.

Don't worry! One day he'll

see you as a woman...

...and eat you up.

Come over here, come close.

Didn't I tell you before?

You have good collarbones...

...so, it's better to push

your hair back.

And what's with

all the buttons fastened?

Nice coat of lip gloss.

Come here.

Mmm, smells good.

I see you put on perfume.

- Hey, wait...

- Uh?

I feel nauseous.

Did you brush your teeth?

Huh?

I brushed after dinner.

It could be my lotion.

Is the smell too strong?

Forget it. I'm not up to it today.

We'll do this next time.

Are you sick?

What, are you worried?

No, but this is

just a precaution.

When was your last period?

I won't hold you responsible,

so don't worry.

Asshole...

I did say I like it when you're mad,

but not all the time.

I was just kidding!

Menopause?

Your period will get more

and more irregular and then,

BAM! It is closed shut

for good.

But I'm only in my forties...

In certain cases, menopause

can come in your late-30s.

Some like it coming early as

it relieves them of...

...having to deal with

the monthly ritual.

Then am I through as a woman?

Don't worry about it too much.

Sometimes it gets better

with hormonal treatment.

A woman's beauty is not just

in the physical...

A healthy mind,

maturity and experience...

Those are what make

a person beautiful.

From this perspective,

your greatest agenda is...

I love you, I love you,

I love, I love you...

I don't believe in love!

I don't believe in love!

Louder, louder!

I love you, I love you,

I love, I love you...

What?

In the name of freedom!

Don't you agree it's great?

Now I won't be haunted by

sleepless nights and cramps.

And I won't have to go

in and out of the bathroom.

Once I had to rush

to the men's room.

Sis, if you're sad, say so.

You seem more pathetic faking it.

Sad? Why should I be sad?

From now on I'm releasing

myself from all womanly bonds...

...and really, truly

living as a free being.

Then can I call you dad

from now on?

Wise ass!

My only child, but you have to

kick me where it hurts, right?

Didn't you say

you weren't hurting?

Come on, not again!

You're both wrong, so make up.

Didn't you say

you were moving out?

You said you would emancipate

yourself with your breakthrough.

Why are you both

ganging up on me?!

Hey, be quiet over there!

You're not the only ones here,

you know!

Why don't' you leave

if you can't stand the noise!

You're louder than us!

Mind your own business!

Hey, they're not worth it.

Hey, can't you kick a ball right?!

Sorry.

Hey, KIM Kang-ae!

How can you do that to me?

If you needed more practice

you could have just said so.

Were you so scared of doing it

directly with Ho-jae?

Did you really need to

rehearse?

Rehearse? Uh, right!

Rehearse.

I was worried you might have

gotten the wrong idea...

Of course not!

I got it immediately!

Is there another reason to kiss?

We're not perverts you know.

Perverts... Anyway, thanks!

You're a true friend.

You're so adorable!

Come here,

your big sis

will give you a hug.

Hey, stop it!

What's wrong?

We've kissed already.

Let's rewrite this sucker

for the last time. Okay?

And where will we get

the money to do that?

Hi there.

You must have been

on a blind date.

It's so easy for women.

If their career crashes,

they can just get married.

I quit smoking.

You should too!

What about the conference?

What's the use when

we don't even have a financier.

I'd like to make a

proposition. Okay?

Let's recall what we started with

and try again? How about it?

What good would that do?

A little change here and there

won't fix things.

You're always singing, 'a little

bit more here, and more there! '

We've got no money to continue.

This is why I warned you

about rookies.

They've got no guts.

Is that so? Then I'll remove

myself from this project.

You two with the guts fight for it

till the end!

Ms. KIM! Hey, KIM Ah-mi!

I can't believe you're

being so petty!

That's why you never had any

success as a writer!

What about you?

Why haven't you made a film?

KIM Ah-mi! What are you doing?

I can see you.

NA Won-suk, what the hell!

Are you here to beg?

It's just one mistake,

what's the big deal?

One mistake?

Then count the 100 times we fucked

as mistakes as well, you asshole!

What!

I... went to an audition.

I might get a contract

if things go well.

Are you here to brag?

Good for you.

I met someone.

Our break up has

brought me nothing but luck.

You've met someone?!

Awe shit! I'm out of work!

Cheers!

What did the strawberry say

to the blueberry?

I love you berry berry much.

Stop~

Tough, isn't it?

Life's tough.

If anyone told me to go back to

my 20s, I'd rather die.

Or kill that son-of-a-bitch.

But it'll pass eventually.

Find every bit of willpower you've got.

Stand it, and bear it.

That way you'll win in the end.

Not everyone can do that.

And what's more important

is that I am here by your side.

Am I making you uncomfortable?

'Son-of-a-bitch'

Leave it, it's all...

...over now.

Nothing will change.

Come back.

Even though you can't.

Come back. Look at me.

As you have always done.

The times I've been with you

have lost their direction.

It's a compass that swings

in endless circles.

Ah-mi! Ah-mi... I missed you.

What the hell are you doing?!

Say what you have to say!

I left my laptop on.

What's the rush? Come here,

come here and sit.

What time did you

start drinking?

- They didn't want me.

- What?

The audition...

I'm not their style.

Hey, you can always go

somewhere else.

They're not the only

record company around...

You...

were the only one I loved.

Only you...

Enjoy the feeling as long as

you wish. I'm leaving.

Hey, where are you going!

Wait...

- I have to go!

- Wait...

Ouch...

Hey?

Fuck you...

Hey, Ah-mi...

Hey, you frightened me!

It's not the first time my arms

were around your waist.

People would think

I'm pouncing on a virgin.

I give up...

- Want some help?

- Forget it!

Whew, it's hot.

Stop it!

I told you not to be so clingy!

Do I look so easy to you?

You had your fun, now stop!

I'm not your girlfriend!

If you're horny,

go find a girl your own age!

Ramen... let's eat!

Come eat.

Yes?

What brings you

all the way over here?

Am I not supposed to come here?

Want me to go?

Wow, I didn't know you were

working at such a neat place.

I saw these two looking bored.

I brought them along to play.

You haven't read all these books,

have you?

Come on, who do you think I am?

Of course they're for display.
