Ditto (2022) - full transcript
On a night when the total lunar eclipse occurs, a stranger's voice from the future echoes through the antique radio inside Yong (Yeo Jin-goo)'s room. "Do you hear?" The mysterious radio connects the two college students living twe...

The new semester of 1999...
(1999 Spring)
A nuclear explosion will
wipe out humanity!
Yong!
Kim Yong, wait for me!
Eunsung is in a cast?
He annoyed me,
so I pushed him away.
Who will fill in for him
in the basketball tournament?
I guess I have to do it.
Dropouts can't play.
What?
You said you would drop out
to pursue your dreams.
Aren't you here
to drop out?
I was drunk.
Don't take it seriously.
I knew it.
Great job man,
School of Engineering will be
good for your future.
Oh, we have
17 new female students.
Don't lie to me.
It is the truth.
Even the top student
of the entire school is a girl.
That is really something.
You are right.
But I don't know
if she exists.
She registered, but she didn't
show up for orientation.
The professor is
really worried.
Someone should bring her
to the meetup tonight.
Huh?
She is an important asset
to our department.
We should make sure
she stays here.
But someone injured
the student council president.
Who was it again?
We need someone else
to fill his shoes.
What is her name?
Hansol!
Seo Hansol!
Seo Hansol?
Yeah!
(Engineering Building 3)
Does she still use a pager?
Hello, Ms. Seo Hansol.
I am a junior.
My name is Kim Yong.
Welcome to the department
of mechanical engineering.
Please come to the meetup
at 6 p.m.,
held at Jinmi Bar.
By the way...
Ms. Hansol.
Everyone is worried
because no one can reach you.
I would like to escort you safely
to the meeting place myself.
It would be best if you ask
questions about university life.
I am a kind person,
so feel free to ask.
I am not a bad person at all.
Please leave me a message!
Hey there.
Why are you already
at school?
Today is an important day.
Don't talk about dying.
You should live and study.
Yo!
Hey.
Mansu broke up?
How did you know?
His face tells it all.
Cheer up, Park Mansu.
Let's play Starcraft
before the meetup.
You can take
Kim Eunsung's place.
I am busy.
Why?
Because I am.
Hey...
Are you...
Dating someone?
I am hearing things now.
Is dating all you think about?
Why are you suddenly talking
about dating?
It is not like that.
Go back to sleep.
People who deny dating start
dating soon.
Good morning, sir.
Time for a roll call...
Should we take a quiz today?
It is an openbook quiz.
Hello, I am Seo Hansol.
You must be in class.
I would like to ask you a favor
before the meetup.
(Student Council Building)
I will wait outside
the student council building.
I am wearing a crossbody bag
and a pink shirt.
Are you...
Yes, I am Seo Han...
I am Seo Hansol.
I see...
You are getting a call.
What?
Call.
Oh...
Hello?
It is your best friend.
This number is...
Bring me a comic book...
No longer in service.
Hey!
Hiya, nice to meet you.
Hiya.
Do you have a favor to ask me?
I want to join a club,
but I missed orientation.
Could you show me
around campus?
Oh, of course!
Let's go.
Go, go!
This is not for you, right?
I won't die,
no matter what.
Die, die, die!
Die, die!
Die, die!
Let's leave.
We only meet at night.
Stars are out
during the day, too.
(Astronomy Club)
But they are too close
to see.
It is because the sun is
too bright.
Right?
Oh, a Ham radio!
Are you interested?
I have always wanted to try it.
Just like Kim Eunsung.
Huh?
It is nothing.
Ow, static.
Static.
Jinx!
Unjinx.
Is anyone into Ham radios
in our department?
There must be someone
in the School of Engineering.
What if there is?
I would like to learn from them.
Is there anyone?
No, of course not.
Everyone is too busy studying.
Freshmen are already using
the library.
It is a crazy world.
And apparently, the world will end
on December 31st.
Getting a job is still difficult.
College seniors...
The cafeteria serves
delicious food.
Black bean noodles and...
Japchae rice.
They are extra good.
Why are they here?
Why would they choose
such a difficult path?
I have a question.
What can we do
after graduation?
Well, let's see...
Something to do
with machines.
Anyways, congrats on getting in!
Thank you!
Cheers!
Cheers!
You are really drunk.
You are the top
of the entire school?
You are so dumb.
Why did you choose
this department,
out of all the others?
Because I was interested.
Don't lie,
no one is interested
in mechanical engineering.
You are a funny one.
Did you know that
there are three types of people?
First, men.
Second, women.
Third...
Women in the engineering field!
Hey, let's go get ice cream.
Why would I go get ice cream
with you?
Kim Yong!
Act like a proper junior.
Treat us properly,
or we will haze you.
Hey, you can't haze
freshmen anymore.
You might get arrested.
There is no hazing.
What the heck
are you talking about?
Am I a criminal?
Tell me, am I a criminal?
This is too lame to watch.
What did you say?
Lame?
You are so rude.
Freshmen, get up.
Get up!
This is why engineering students
are called OFFs.
I hate that nickname.
Obnoxious, foolish...
Faggot.
Faggot.
Faggot?
Calm down.
Faggot?
Let me go!
She called me a faggot!
I need to go.
My dorm has a curfew.
Why is it so quiet?
Hey, I am the Teaching Assistance.
Hello.
Hi.
What is wrong?
Nothing.
Wow...
Did someone scold you?
Let's catch up later.
You are playing basketball
in Eunsung's place.
Okay.
Hi.
I am the Teaching Assistance.
Does that make you
uncomfortable?
What took you so long?
I was scared.
Let's hurry.
Okay,
I should have come out sooner.
What if I made you unpopular, too?
I am already unpopular.
Seniors hate people like me.
Why not?
I like your type.
Really?
Me, too.
Why do you keep smiling?
Oh, am I smiling?
That is my dorm.
That was fast.
I will go in.
Okay, bye.
Yong...
Yeah, I am here.
There is a lunar eclipse tonight.
Oh, really?
Hansol...
Will you...
Have lunch with me tomorrow?
Who is going to buy that meal?
Reflection!
Automatic reflection!
Rainbow reflection!
I mean...
Of course, lunch is on me!
Freshmen should not take out
their wallets.
See you tomorrow.
Okay.
Are you for real?
You should not seduce
a freshman.
Can't freshmen date?
They should not date you.
Okay, it is 20.
What is wrong with me?
No point.
30!
Eunsung, do you still have Ham?
It is not something you eat.
I need to borrow it.
Don't ask me why.
Selling it won't get you
much money.
Is it in your dorm room?
My locker.
Can you even use it?
A little.
I have seen you use it.
I will borrow it.
Whatever.
I am off.
Hey, how is Mokman?
He is fine, so just get out
of the hospital.
People think I injured you.
It was your fault.
You saved him instead of me.
A turtle startled you so much,
you fell down the stairs.
Anyways,
take good care of him.
They like lettuce too.
Bye.
Oh, right.
Hansol says
there is a lunar eclipse tonight.
Bye!
At least he will stay
in school.
Mokman, I am home.
Why is this so heavy?
Mokman...
Mokman...
Mokman.
I met someone amazing today.
I will celebrate
just a little bit.
Hansol...
Are you looking
at the same thing right now?
What a terrible thing, darling
Just imagining becoming
a grownup
Brings me so much pain
Ooh, help me
Please understand
I like you
And my love, I love you
But I can't make up my mind
Maybe a guy who will prepare
special events for you
Might be better for you
Sometimes, I want a day off
Ooh, ooh
Oh my love
You won't leave me alone
But when I am by myself
Everyone, the end is nigh!
The apocalypse is coming!
A nuclear explosion
will wipe out humanity!
The world will end
someday, right?
It can't end now.
I have not even dated
a girl properly yet.
That is surprising.
You seem like the popular type.
I...
Have high standards.
(Government Worker Exam Notice)
I will be a senior next year.
Maybe we will be better off
with the apocalypse.
The IMF crisis has everyone
on edge.
It is like we are cursed.
My dad's factory shut down
because of the IMF crisis.
My dad told me...
'Hansol, get employed
at a big corporation.'
'That is the road to success.'
But those big corporations ruined
my dad's business.
I am really interested
in mechanical engineering.
This school is investing a lot
in robotics.
I want to build
a manufacturing system
for small factories
like my father's.
Small changes could improve
efficiency.
But people are scared
of change.
I want to help them.
So they don't go out
of business, like my dad.
Why are you silent?
Is my dream too unrealistic?
No, it is just that...
You are so confident
in your dreams.
What about you?
Is there anything
you want to do?
Kissing you.
What did I just say?
Hansol, it is not that...
Don't misunderstand.
The end is nigh!
Everyone, the end is nigh!
The end is nigh...
What are you doing?
Hey, what took you so long?
Hansol, I made plans
with my friend.
I need to go, bye.
Let's go.
Ouch, my leg!
Slow down!
Is that her?
Yeah.
Hurry up.
My leg has not healed yet!
Why did I mention kissing?
Die, Kim Yong!
Just die!
Mokman...
What should I do now?
Damn it...
Can anyone hear me?
Hello?
Yes, I can hear you.
Wow, it really works.
Is this your first time
using a Ham radio?
Yes.
I think we have to introduce
ourselves first.
That is what it says
in this book, too.
What book?
Ham radio Beginner's Guide.
Do you have a book like that?
My parents hoard
all kinds of things.
I see.
My name is Kim Yong.
A student of Hanguk University.
OMG,
I go to Hanguk University too.
Pardon? OM.. what?
I am a sociology major.
My name is Kim Munee.
I need to interview a stranger
for an assignment.
But I did not think
this would actually work.
Oh...
I will help you
with your assignment
if you lend me your book.
Really?
I would be so thankful.
I would like to ask you
something, too.
What is it?
I would like to ask in person.
Let's meet tomorrow,
at the pay phone in front
of the student council building.
Do you mean the old building?
Okay, what time?
Um, at noon!
Yes!
Mokman?
Mokman...

Youngji...
This is the student
council building, right?
Yeah, the old one.
Your makeup is running.
I guess it is not waterproof.
It is suddenly raining.
Don't I look
like a movie character?
You will catch a cold.
Nice umbrella.
This is so annoying.
Do you want some ramyun?
Are you going to treat me?
Let's go.
The weather is so weird.
Why did not he come?
He could not be bothered.
Look up.
Because of the rain, right?
All better.
You did a clean job.
Let's eat.
Isn't it amazing
that we go to the same university?
I don't believe in fate,
but it felt strange.
Me, too.
It is so hard to believe.
I don't believe in fate.
If fate exists,
my future will be bleak
no matter what.
I don't want
to think about it.
Why do you think that way?
I have student loans,
living expenses, and debt.
My youth is hopeless.
I have had a different start
from others.
Still, we are all
on different paths.
Youngji, we studied hard
to come to the same university.
If you just hang in there...
Never mind.
I should not tell you
how to live your life.
I am crossing a line, right?
You crossed
that line a long time ago.
What?
Friends can say things
like that to each other.
Right, friends.
Yeah, we are such close friends.
Munee, I have to go.
I can't miss
another group meeting.
You should hurry, then.
You have a fever.
Take cold medicine
before you sleep.
I know you will be fine
on your own.
You did not even show up.
That is my line.
Is this voice phishing?
Voice what?
You are so...
Come on.
Don't cough into the mic.
Mind your manners.
I waited two hours
in the rain for you.
Just apologize.
Why are you lying?
Did it rain today?
It was hot as heck!
Damn it, I can't believe
you were accepted
to Hanguk University.
It is still raining,
can't you hear it?
Is that sizzling meat?
Meat?
You are a tween, aren't you?
What?
Huh?
Hello?
What is wrong with this?
Did I scare him off?
What the hell!
It is not raining at all.
What does tween mean?
Is it some kind of food?
It is not raining at all.
(Kim Young is Liar)
I worked hard
without causing problems.
I can't believe
I am getting fired.
I have worked here
for 20 years.
You are the first person
to come see me.
I am grateful
for this experience.
Soon, he must leave
our university.
The school informed him
that they would not renew
his contract.
The same goes
for the cafeteria workers.
Contract workers face
a serious problem.
It must be solved
on a fundamental level.
That was our presentation.
Thank you.
Good job.
I liked the content.
Next, Kim Munee?
Yes.
You did not hand
in your presentation plans.
Did you decide
on an interviewee?
Well...
Not yet.
You are flying solo,
make it hurry.
That is it for today.
Thank you, professor.
Want something tasty?
You have read my mind.
Not showing up is so rude.
Don't interview someone
like him.
Let's eat.
Let's enjoy the food!
Should I drop the class?
No, just interview a passerby.
That is so boring.
What about the owner
of this place?
It is too much.
What is wrong?
What is happening?
It is your friend
in the Korean department.
Not friends, right?
Guess not.
I am talking about you two.
It is not like that.
I wish I could erase
my memories of you
I am crossing the basketball court
to be with you
The left hand slightly helps out!
Hey, do you know
what tween means?
Is it some kind of food?
Shoot.
Hi, going home?
We are going to the library.
Freshmen can't use the library.
Oh, really?
Goodbye,
I will let you go now
Kim Yong,
where are you going?
I have a quiz to study for.
Aren't you going
to practice basketball?
The quiz is not important!
Basketball is not that important.
See you tomorrow.
Bye.
(Raising Turtles)
(Ramyun)
So, you have been
avoiding her?
Escaping reality works
sometimes.
She must be disappointed.
She probably didn't have
high expectations, anyway.
I have decided.
I will ask her
to be my girlfriend.
I will meet her gaze...
What?
I can't just kiss her.
Of course, you can't.
Want to be my girlfriend?
Are you insane?
You are rushing.
They say when you are
in a rush, slow down.
No, I need to rush.
You are crazy.
You have seen Hansol.
Of course, I am crazy!
I guess she is cute.
Hey...
She is mine,
so don't try anything.
Interested in school now?
What did you say?
You are an idiot.
Hey, what are you doing?
Oh, hello.
What are you up to?
I was supposed to meet someone,
but I guess we missed each other.
Then, try the pay phone.
You might find something.
(Jungmin, Let's meet
at the gates at 2 p.m.
(Come to the basketball court.)
(English Majors, Stay strong!)
(Suyeon,
I waited for you here.)
I was harsh last time,
but I really waited for 2 hours.
I waited for over 2 hours as well.
How strange.
Do you want
to use a messaging app?
What? What is an app?
OMG...
Don't you have
a smartphone?
Why are you keep saying
'OMG'?
You have never even heard it
before?
No.
I have never heard it
in my life.
How is this possible?
When did you enroll
in university?
In 1995.
In 1995?
I enrolled in 2021.
2021?
Mokman, this girl is a weirdo.
You are telling me
you started university in 1995?
That is right.
You have been at school
for over 20 years?
Over 20 years?
It is 1999 right now.
What are you saying?
1999?
Stop playing around.
That is my line.
You are the one who is lying.
Give me
your cell phone number.
You know
what a cell phone is, right?
Write this down.
0185190813!
What the...?
A 018 number?
This number does not exist.
Please try again.
Let's do this, then.
Let's meet at the payphone
tomorrow at noon.
If you don't see me
after 30 minutes,
leave a message
on the left pillar
of the payphone.
Let's meet at 8 p.m.
Sure thing.
Kim Yong...
The left pillar...
OMG.
(Kim Munhee is a liar!
in 1999, Kim Young)
Is this for real?
It is simple.
He started university in 1995
and took a lot of time off.
Or maybe he still thinks
he is in his 20's.
There was a message.
He must have written it
in the middle of the night.
Maybe it is his other persona.
She is right.
That is the fad nowadays.
Sounds wrong to me.
Munee,
you can still interview him.
It might be interesting.
It is a good thing.
Is that so?
Hansol, I have something
to tell you.
I will be waiting for you
in the greenhouse.
Hansol. Hiya.
Hansol, I was out
of my mind that day.
I am really sorry.
You spelled my name wrong.
It is Munee, not Munhee.
There is no 'h'.
Why don't you apologize
for not showing up?
I am sorry.
I am so smelly.
Why are you taking
the semester off?
Oh, is that why you are here?
It is nothing.
I just don't think
university is for me.
I don't really need a diploma.
And I am not interested
in Korean literature.
The real reason is
that I want to start making money.
Don't take it
so seriously.
I had no idea.
I am sorry I did not tell you.
Don't apologize.
Munee, I have to go.
It is time for the guests to come.
Oh, sorry.
Go back inside.
Study hard.
I know you will be fine
on your own.
You are the one
who is fine on your own.
After 7 years,
I thought I knew him.
I guess I was wrong.
Still, I think he should graduate.
I think he is being hasty.
I think it is good
that he has goals and plans.
Honestly, I envy his smarts.
I guess you are right.
Didn't you say you wanted
to ask me something?
Oh, the thing is...
I don't know a lot of girls.
I would like to hear your opinion.
Dating advice?
How did you know?
Go on, then.
Well...
I think I met my soulmate.
It feels like a miracle.
It is your first date, right?
Wear something nice,
but not too nice.
Huh?
Your hair should look...
Nice, but not too nice!
No, it should look great.
Hair is important for men.
Hiya.
Now, let's plan out
the dating course.
No worries.
Any girl will love my plan.
I am extremely worried.
First,
we are going to visit a farm.
We are having sandwiches
and pork ribs for dinner.
Then, we will have apple juice
and parfait for dessert.
Wait!
Are you seriously a tween?
There are so many problems.
At the end of the night,
have wine
or beer at a nice bar.
Oh, alcohol?
Yes!
This place is so nice.
I know.
Your hair...
My hair?
Is it weird?
It is just...
It looks futuristic.
It looks good.
Really?
Whew.
Thanks.
Cheers.
Thank you.
Here.
Thanks.
Hansol, can you guess?
Guess what?
What name do flowers hate?
I know, Wilton!
Flowers don't like to wilt!
Wow, you are so smart.
Do you have any more?
We are seeing
a movie tomorrow.
Will you help me choose?
What are the options?
'Attack the Gas Station'
or 'Shiri'.
'Shiri'?
Yes, I am here.
Is someone with you?
You said 'Shiri'...
'Shiri' is a 1999 spy film.
Kim Yunjin turned out
to be the culprit.
Go get your mom.
Don't you recognize
your dad's voice?
She is not there?
Do you have any more?
Hello?
Isn't your mom home?
Where did she go?
You don't know?
That was a fun movie.
It was so funny.
Didn't you say you
wanted to see 'Shiri'?
My friend saw it first and
told me the entire story.
What a bad friend.
That is called a spoiler.
Spoiler?
Where should we go now?
Wow, you are good!
You will break the machine!
Wow!
Hansol, that was...
This, this, and this.
Okay.
Let's start taking pictures!
One, two, three!
Who are you interviewing?
A university student living
in 1999.
I don't understand
what you mean.
Well...
He was a university student
in 1999.
Oh.
What is your theme?
Well...
Dreams and love.
Dreams and love?
Dreams and love.
That is terrific.
Make your presentation
next class.
Okay.
That is all.
Thank you, professor!
(I am an idiot,)
(who talks
about love these days?)
Yong,
what is your university life like?
It is really hectic.
I will be a senior next year.
I wanted to get to know myself
when I came to university.
But assignments and life are
getting in the way.
Even when I am hanging out
with my friends,
I am nervous.
Sometimes, I just go and sit
at the library.
Isn't that idiotic?
No, I understand.
I am the same way.
Did you choose
a career path?
Do you have any dreams?
Dreams are a burden to me.
They are a hassle,
and they are irritating.
I want to let them go.
But I can't get rid of them.
(Writing Notebook)
They are white elephants.
Dreams should not be like that.
How about a talking stage
between you two?
Talking what?
Your talking stage.
It is the step
before a relationship.
Do you mean the chase?
Confess your feelings for her.
Then, she will look
at you differently.
What is she like?
She is...
A miracle I found
when I was desperate.
I want to
become someone worthy of her.
Oh, that could be my new dream!
I can tell by your voice
that you really like her.
Is it that obvious?
Love is all about timing.
You should follow your heart,
instead of listening to my advice.
Honesty always works.
Go, Kim Yong!
You can do it!
We made curfew, right?
Yes.
We ran like we were shooting
a commercial.
Youths, run toward your goals!
I will get going.
See you tomorrow.
Okay, get inside.
Good night.
Have a dream of me.
Follow your heart.
Honesty always...
Hansol.
Yes?
Starting from tomorrow...
Would you go out with me?
My heart is still racing.
Your words gave me courage.
I can tell just
by your voice.
Your love story is
warming my heart, too.
Do you like anyone?
Me?
If love is all about timing,
I am way off.
I don't know your situation,
but don't give up on love.
That would be...
So lonely.
That is right.
But sometimes,
there is no choice.
I always have
to hide my feelings.
Those girls come here
to see Youngji?
Yeah.
No way.
It is true.
Do you want to go
on a trip with me?
Are you okay?
Did I say something shocking?
Yes!
What is gotten into you?
You are always studying.
I thought
it would be good for you.
Every day, I am trying hard
not to fall in love with him.
I can tell by your voice
that you like him a lot.
Is that so?
It makes me curious.
We have been friends
for 7 years.
Not about him.
About you.
I am curious about you, too.
I want to tell you everything.
Weirdly,
it feels like we are old friends.
Me, too.
We might become BFFs.
BFFs?
BFs forever.
BFs?
It means
that we are totes best friends.
You keep using strange words.
King Sejong will be back tumbling
in his grave, right?
What?
Back tumbling?
Back tumbling!
That is so creative!
(Kim Yong enrolled in 1995)
That joke is way ahead
of its time!
Wait, 1995?
What is your major?
Mechanical engineering.
No way.
My dad majored
in mechanical engineering.
Do you know Kim Eunsung?
How do you know Eunsung?
He is my dad!
Are you close with him?
Yeah, we have been friends
since high school.
OMG!
Are you telling me
that you are Eunsung's daughter?
Yes!
This is ridiculous.
Who the heck are you?
Did he put you up to this?
It is true,
my dad is Kim Eunsung.
I could not believe it, either.
I thought you were lying.
But you don't sound
like a liar at all.
Sometimes, life is
stranger than fiction.
It is hard to explain, but...
We are using some kind
of time machine.
Are you saying
this is all real?
Yes, isn't it freaky?
This is insane!
Then, your Ham radio...
It is my dad's.
He used to use it
in high school.
I am using his Ham, too.
The one with the faded sticker?
There is no sticker.
Look closely.
It is on the left side.
Left side?
There is nothing here.
I don't see it, Munee.
You must know my mom, too.
How would I know your mom?
Don't you know Seo Hansol?
My parents were both parts
of the student council.
Wait...
You are lying about Eunsung
and Hansol getting married?
It is the truth!
Why would I lie
about my parents?
Yong, this is crazy.
But I trust you.
You trust me too, right?
Munee,
you have a great imagination.
You should turn it
into a movie.
My mom and dad were
a famous couple at school.
Are you sure
you don't know?
What the heck...
Mokman, what is going on?
The end is nigh!
The world will...
It won't end!
Yes, it will!
The apocalypse is coming!
What are you doing?
What is wrong?
Excuse us.
Hey, my leg still hurts.
It is not true, right?
What?
Eunsung, tell me the truth.
Do you know
Kim Munee?
Min Munee?
Kim Munee!
Who is that?
Are you two playing a prank
on me?
What are you talking about?
Yong, what is wrong?
Kim Yong...
Never mind.
I must have been out
of my mind.
That has always been the case.
Why did not you tell me
you were out of the hospital?
I did not need your help.
Let's go, Hansol.
Okay.
Hansol, do you want some help
with your math quiz?
I will get you past exam papers.
That is the most efficient way
to study.
Then, you will have more time
for me.
I will be fine.
You have more to study for.
Hansol.
Why were you
with Eunsung?
He is
the student council president.
I am the freshman representative.
Why would you do that?
Yong...
It is all battered up.
I tried to stop them.
I guess
you were not injured that badly.
What is wrong?
Did you check
with the administration office?
They can't share
private information.
(Kim Eunsung)
That is my dad.
Your parents are returning
to Korea next year, right?
Yeah, next year.
Youngji...
These might be the strangest
and most important events
of my life.
I might regret it
if I just neglect them.
Why do you
feel that way?
I am not sure.
I am acting strange, aren't I?
So...
What is his name?
Yong, you should leave.
This is a meeting.
Don't mind me.
There is my BF!
Get out.
I will kill you.
What is wrong with you?
I get that you like her,
but there is a line.
She is meeting
other representatives
for the first time today.
You are making her uncomfortable.
Go cool off.
There you are.
I think
love is making me blind.
Crazy jackass.
If you are going to act like this,
just drop out.
Wow,
Geuntae can't keep a secret.
What secret?
I have known you for years.
I know what you are good at,
and what you like.
Mechanical engineering is not
for you.
You are just forcing yourself.
Your dream is to become a writer,
right?
People can't only do
what they like.
You are going to live life doing
what you don't like?
Damn it...
You should quit smoking.
Thanks.
I won't give up.
On love,
or your dreams?
Yong, we are here.
Eunsung, you are here too?
I brought the freshmen.
Kim Eunsung,
answer the phone now and then.
Wash your face and sober up.
Hurry up.
Are you leaving?
Yeah.
But we brought a lot of beers.
Goodbye, then.
Go study.
Hansol, sit here.
Yong.
Oh...
Come on in.
It is a bit messy.
Namhae dragged us here.
I am sorry to barge in.
No, it is fine.
Do you like reading?
I guess.
It is just a hobby.
Oh, a Ham radio!
Do you know how to use it?
Does it work?
What should I do?
Hansol...
I will teach you next time.
Promise me?
Of course.
I will give you
a gift in return.
Don't remove this sticker.
It is a good picture of us.
Not until you keep your promise.
Okay?
I will wait for you outside.
Is it Dad's?
Kim Yong...
(Mommy)
Hello?
Mom...
Munee.
Apparently...
He suddenly disappeared.
My mom's first love...
I cheered him on.
He was an idiot in love.
I really wanted him
to become happy.
I guess I could feel
how much he loved my mom.
Youngji,
did I ruin everything?
What if I said something
that I should not have?
If your words ruined
their relationship...
They would have broken up,
no matter what.
So, don't blame yourself.
(Mechanical Engineering Forever)
That is so scary.
They have no sportsmanship.
They might kill us
with those shovels.
Mechanical engineering!
If you win,
there is no class tomorrow!
Let's beat them!
Behind you!
Block him!
Nice!
Good job!
Hey, look alive!
Sorry.
Pass!
Over here, Yong!
Are things not going your way?
Foul!
You are getting a warning.
Can you get up?
You scumbag,
get over here!
Hey, hey!
Are you okay?
Can you move?
Is he dead?
Try to get up.
He started it!
That is ridiculous!
Breathe.
Sit up.
Can you get up?
Kim Yong...
Hey, stop.
Where is he going?
What are you doing?
You denied it.
Denied what?
What a prick!
you denied it!
Hey, let go of him!
You jerk!
What is your name?
Choi Dongtak.
Students from other departures,
leave for a better atmosphere.
Are you okay?
Yeah, his punches are not strong.
Where is Yong?
Oh, he just left.
He is not a violent person.
I have been nagging him
about studying.
I guess he had pentup anger.
He has been stressed
about schoolwork and love.
When he looked at me,
he just exploded.
I should not have run my mouth.
What I am trying to say is,
don't be disappointed in him.
Munee...
I can't ignore it anymore.
My heart...
Is full of suspicion.
I guess
my love is not strong enough.
Munee.
Did her...
Dreams come true?
Is she living a happy life?
If I keep dating Hansol...
Munee might not be born.
She might not exist.
Mokman...
Mokman.
Mokman.
Mokman.
Mokman!
Mokman.
Mokman...
Mokman!
Oh, no...
Mokman, Mokman!
Where is he?
Damn it...
Where did he go?
Mokman.
Mokman...
Mokman, Mokman.
What the heck?
Sorry, I...
Mokman...
Mokman.
Mokman...
Mokman,
don't do this to me.
You can't leave me.
Mokman, don't abandon me.
Mokman!
Mokman.
I can't do this.
I look pathetic.
Munee.
I am going to stop...
Going after her.
It was love at first sight.
Even if I could turn back time,
I would love her again.
She was everything to me.
I won't lie about being okay.
But it could be worse.
So, Munee...
Don't worry about me.

(Ham Radio Beginner's Guide
Kim Eunsung)
I could not meet him in person.
But while I was talking with him,
I discovered something
I had buried deep within me.
What was it?
It was...
Love.
They say romance existed
in the past.
Does it no longer exist?
It always exists.
We still love.
But we try to ignore it
due to reallife problems.
I wish love were not an obstacle
to reality.
It should be so widespread
that everyone is in love.
I wish
romance could become reality.
Thank you.
You didn't.
Yes, I did.
Munee!
I found something.
(Time Traveler)
What is this?
Read it.
It must be him.
What?

you communicated with.

Good.
Thanks for coming.
I know it now.
You are...
My miracle.
Follow your heart.
Honesty always works.

I like you.
I have been wanting
to say that.
And I think this is the right time
to tell you.
Youngji, I like you.
I like you, Youngji.
Me too.
Ditto.
Let's go.
When times are hard,
think of this moment.
As time goes by,
it might fade

But remember how splendid
and beautiful this moment was.

(1999 Spring)
A nuclear explosion will
wipe out humanity!

Kim Yong, wait for me!
Eunsung is in a cast?
He annoyed me,
so I pushed him away.
Who will fill in for him
in the basketball tournament?
I guess I have to do it.
Dropouts can't play.
What?
You said you would drop out
to pursue your dreams.
Aren't you here
to drop out?
I was drunk.
Don't take it seriously.
I knew it.
Great job man,
School of Engineering will be
good for your future.
Oh, we have
17 new female students.
Don't lie to me.
It is the truth.
Even the top student
of the entire school is a girl.
That is really something.
You are right.
But I don't know
if she exists.
She registered, but she didn't
show up for orientation.
The professor is
really worried.
Someone should bring her
to the meetup tonight.
Huh?
She is an important asset
to our department.
We should make sure
she stays here.
But someone injured
the student council president.
Who was it again?
We need someone else
to fill his shoes.
What is her name?

Seo Hansol?

Does she still use a pager?
Hello, Ms. Seo Hansol.
I am a junior.
My name is Kim Yong.
Welcome to the department
of mechanical engineering.
Please come to the meetup
at 6 p.m.,
held at Jinmi Bar.
By the way...
Ms. Hansol.
Everyone is worried
because no one can reach you.
I would like to escort you safely
to the meeting place myself.
It would be best if you ask
questions about university life.
I am a kind person,
so feel free to ask.
I am not a bad person at all.
Please leave me a message!
Hey there.
Why are you already
at school?
Today is an important day.
Don't talk about dying.
You should live and study.
Yo!
Hey.
Mansu broke up?
How did you know?
His face tells it all.
Cheer up, Park Mansu.
Let's play Starcraft
before the meetup.
You can take
Kim Eunsung's place.
I am busy.
Why?
Because I am.
Hey...
Are you...
Dating someone?
I am hearing things now.
Is dating all you think about?
Why are you suddenly talking
about dating?
It is not like that.
Go back to sleep.
People who deny dating start
dating soon.
Good morning, sir.
Time for a roll call...
Should we take a quiz today?
It is an openbook quiz.
Hello, I am Seo Hansol.
You must be in class.
I would like to ask you a favor
before the meetup.
(Student Council Building)
I will wait outside
the student council building.
I am wearing a crossbody bag
and a pink shirt.
Are you...
Yes, I am Seo Han...
I am Seo Hansol.
I see...
You are getting a call.
What?
Call.
Oh...
Hello?
It is your best friend.
This number is...
Bring me a comic book...
No longer in service.
Hey!
Hiya, nice to meet you.
Hiya.
Do you have a favor to ask me?
I want to join a club,
but I missed orientation.
Could you show me
around campus?
Oh, of course!
Let's go.
Go, go!
This is not for you, right?
I won't die,
no matter what.
Die, die, die!
Die, die!
Die, die!
Let's leave.
We only meet at night.
Stars are out
during the day, too.
(Astronomy Club)
But they are too close
to see.
It is because the sun is
too bright.
Right?
Oh, a Ham radio!
Are you interested?
I have always wanted to try it.
Just like Kim Eunsung.
Huh?
It is nothing.
Ow, static.
Static.
Jinx!
Unjinx.
Is anyone into Ham radios
in our department?
There must be someone
in the School of Engineering.
What if there is?
I would like to learn from them.
Is there anyone?
No, of course not.
Everyone is too busy studying.
Freshmen are already using
the library.
It is a crazy world.
And apparently, the world will end
on December 31st.
Getting a job is still difficult.
College seniors...
The cafeteria serves
delicious food.
Black bean noodles and...
Japchae rice.
They are extra good.
Why are they here?
Why would they choose
such a difficult path?
I have a question.
What can we do
after graduation?
Well, let's see...
Something to do
with machines.
Anyways, congrats on getting in!
Thank you!
Cheers!
Cheers!
You are really drunk.
You are the top
of the entire school?
You are so dumb.
Why did you choose
this department,
out of all the others?
Because I was interested.
Don't lie,
no one is interested
in mechanical engineering.
You are a funny one.
Did you know that
there are three types of people?
First, men.
Second, women.
Third...
Women in the engineering field!
Hey, let's go get ice cream.
Why would I go get ice cream
with you?
Kim Yong!
Act like a proper junior.
Treat us properly,
or we will haze you.
Hey, you can't haze
freshmen anymore.
You might get arrested.
There is no hazing.
What the heck
are you talking about?
Am I a criminal?
Tell me, am I a criminal?
This is too lame to watch.
What did you say?
Lame?
You are so rude.
Freshmen, get up.
Get up!
This is why engineering students
are called OFFs.
I hate that nickname.
Obnoxious, foolish...
Faggot.

Faggot?
Calm down.
Faggot?
Let me go!
She called me a faggot!
I need to go.
My dorm has a curfew.
Why is it so quiet?
Hey, I am the Teaching Assistance.
Hello.
Hi.
What is wrong?
Nothing.
Wow...
Did someone scold you?
Let's catch up later.
You are playing basketball
in Eunsung's place.
Okay.
Hi.
I am the Teaching Assistance.
Does that make you
uncomfortable?
What took you so long?
I was scared.
Let's hurry.
Okay,
I should have come out sooner.
What if I made you unpopular, too?
I am already unpopular.
Seniors hate people like me.
Why not?
I like your type.
Really?
Me, too.
Why do you keep smiling?
Oh, am I smiling?
That is my dorm.
That was fast.
I will go in.
Okay, bye.
Yong...
Yeah, I am here.
There is a lunar eclipse tonight.
Oh, really?
Hansol...
Will you...
Have lunch with me tomorrow?
Who is going to buy that meal?
Reflection!
Automatic reflection!
Rainbow reflection!
I mean...
Of course, lunch is on me!
Freshmen should not take out
their wallets.
See you tomorrow.
Okay.
Are you for real?
You should not seduce
a freshman.
Can't freshmen date?
They should not date you.
Okay, it is 20.
What is wrong with me?
No point.
30!
Eunsung, do you still have Ham?
It is not something you eat.
I need to borrow it.
Don't ask me why.
Selling it won't get you
much money.
Is it in your dorm room?
My locker.
Can you even use it?
A little.
I have seen you use it.
I will borrow it.
Whatever.
I am off.
Hey, how is Mokman?
He is fine, so just get out
of the hospital.
People think I injured you.
It was your fault.
You saved him instead of me.
A turtle startled you so much,
you fell down the stairs.
Anyways,
take good care of him.
They like lettuce too.
Bye.
Oh, right.
Hansol says
there is a lunar eclipse tonight.
Bye!
At least he will stay
in school.
Mokman, I am home.
Why is this so heavy?
Mokman...
Mokman...
Mokman.
I met someone amazing today.
I will celebrate
just a little bit.
Hansol...
Are you looking
at the same thing right now?
What a terrible thing, darling
Just imagining becoming
a grownup
Brings me so much pain
Ooh, help me
Please understand
I like you
And my love, I love you
But I can't make up my mind
Maybe a guy who will prepare
special events for you
Might be better for you
Sometimes, I want a day off
Ooh, ooh
Oh my love
You won't leave me alone
But when I am by myself
Everyone, the end is nigh!
The apocalypse is coming!
A nuclear explosion
will wipe out humanity!
The world will end
someday, right?
It can't end now.
I have not even dated
a girl properly yet.
That is surprising.
You seem like the popular type.
I...
Have high standards.
(Government Worker Exam Notice)
I will be a senior next year.
Maybe we will be better off
with the apocalypse.
The IMF crisis has everyone
on edge.
It is like we are cursed.
My dad's factory shut down
because of the IMF crisis.
My dad told me...
'Hansol, get employed
at a big corporation.'
'That is the road to success.'
But those big corporations ruined
my dad's business.
I am really interested
in mechanical engineering.
This school is investing a lot
in robotics.
I want to build
a manufacturing system
for small factories
like my father's.
Small changes could improve
efficiency.
But people are scared
of change.
I want to help them.
So they don't go out
of business, like my dad.
Why are you silent?
Is my dream too unrealistic?
No, it is just that...
You are so confident
in your dreams.
What about you?
Is there anything
you want to do?
Kissing you.
What did I just say?
Hansol, it is not that...
Don't misunderstand.
The end is nigh!
Everyone, the end is nigh!
The end is nigh...
What are you doing?
Hey, what took you so long?
Hansol, I made plans
with my friend.
I need to go, bye.
Let's go.
Ouch, my leg!
Slow down!
Is that her?
Yeah.
Hurry up.
My leg has not healed yet!
Why did I mention kissing?
Die, Kim Yong!
Just die!
Mokman...
What should I do now?
Damn it...
Can anyone hear me?
Hello?
Yes, I can hear you.
Wow, it really works.
Is this your first time
using a Ham radio?
Yes.
I think we have to introduce
ourselves first.
That is what it says
in this book, too.
What book?
Ham radio Beginner's Guide.
Do you have a book like that?
My parents hoard
all kinds of things.
I see.
My name is Kim Yong.
A student of Hanguk University.
OMG,
I go to Hanguk University too.
Pardon? OM.. what?
I am a sociology major.
My name is Kim Munee.
I need to interview a stranger
for an assignment.
But I did not think
this would actually work.
Oh...
I will help you
with your assignment
if you lend me your book.
Really?
I would be so thankful.
I would like to ask you
something, too.
What is it?
I would like to ask in person.
Let's meet tomorrow,
at the pay phone in front
of the student council building.
Do you mean the old building?
Okay, what time?
Um, at noon!
Yes!

You will catch a cold.

Are you going to treat me?

He could not be bothered.

It is so hard to believe.
I don't believe in fate.
If fate exists,
my future will be bleak
no matter what.
I don't want
to think about it.
Why do you think that way?
I have student loans,
living expenses, and debt.
My youth is hopeless.
I have had a different start
from others.
Still, we are all
on different paths.
Youngji, we studied hard
to come to the same university.
If you just hang in there...
Never mind.
I should not tell you
how to live your life.

that line a long time ago.
What?

like that to each other.

Yeah, we are such close friends.

in the rain for you.
Just apologize.

to Hanguk University.

without causing problems.
I can't believe
I am getting fired.
I have worked here
for 20 years.
You are the first person
to come see me.
I am grateful
for this experience.
Soon, he must leave

The school informed him
that they would not renew
his contract.
The same goes
for the cafeteria workers.
Contract workers face

It must be solved
on a fundamental level.
That was our presentation.
Thank you.
Good job.
I liked the content.
Next, Kim Munee?
Yes.
You did not hand
in your presentation plans.
Did you decide

Well...
Not yet.
You are flying solo,
make it hurry.
That is it for today.
Thank you, professor.

Not showing up is so rude.
Don't interview someone
like him.

Should I drop the class?
No, just interview a passerby.
That is so boring.

of this place?
It is too much.

What is happening?
It is your friend
in the Korean department.
Not friends, right?
Guess not.

(English Majors, Stay strong!)
(Suyeon,
I waited for you here.)
I was harsh last time,
but I really waited for 2 hours.
I waited for over 2 hours as well.
How strange.
Do you want
to use a messaging app?
What? What is an app?
OMG...
Don't you have
a smartphone?
Why are you keep saying
'OMG'?
You have never even heard it
before?
No.
I have never heard it
in my life.
How is this possible?
When did you enroll
in university?
In 1995.
In 1995?
I enrolled in 2021.
2021?
Mokman, this girl is a weirdo.
You are telling me
you started university in 1995?
That is right.
You have been at school
for over 20 years?
Over 20 years?
It is 1999 right now.
What are you saying?
1999?
Stop playing around.
That is my line.
You are the one who is lying.
Give me
your cell phone number.
You know
what a cell phone is, right?
Write this down.
0185190813!
What the...?
A 018 number?
This number does not exist.
Please try again.
Let's do this, then.
Let's meet at the payphone
tomorrow at noon.
If you don't see me
after 30 minutes,
leave a message
on the left pillar
of the payphone.
Let's meet at 8 p.m.
Sure thing.
Kim Yong...
The left pillar...
OMG.
(Kim Munhee is a liar!
in 1999, Kim Young)
Is this for real?
It is simple.
He started university in 1995
and took a lot of time off.
Or maybe he still thinks
he is in his 20's.
There was a message.
He must have written it
in the middle of the night.
Maybe it is his other persona.
She is right.
That is the fad nowadays.
Sounds wrong to me.
Munee,
you can still interview him.
It might be interesting.
It is a good thing.
Is that so?
Hansol, I have something
to tell you.
I will be waiting for you
in the greenhouse.
Hansol. Hiya.
Hansol, I was out
of my mind that day.
I am really sorry.
You spelled my name wrong.
It is Munee, not Munhee.
There is no 'h'.
Why don't you apologize
for not showing up?
I am sorry.
I am so smelly.
Why are you taking
the semester off?
Oh, is that why you are here?
It is nothing.
I just don't think
university is for me.
I don't really need a diploma.
And I am not interested
in Korean literature.
The real reason is
that I want to start making money.
Don't take it
so seriously.
I had no idea.
I am sorry I did not tell you.
Don't apologize.
Munee, I have to go.
It is time for the guests to come.
Oh, sorry.
Go back inside.
Study hard.
I know you will be fine
on your own.
You are the one
who is fine on your own.
After 7 years,
I thought I knew him.
I guess I was wrong.
Still, I think he should graduate.
I think he is being hasty.
I think it is good
that he has goals and plans.
Honestly, I envy his smarts.
I guess you are right.
Didn't you say you wanted
to ask me something?
Oh, the thing is...
I don't know a lot of girls.
I would like to hear your opinion.
Dating advice?
How did you know?
Go on, then.
Well...
I think I met my soulmate.
It feels like a miracle.
It is your first date, right?
Wear something nice,
but not too nice.
Huh?
Your hair should look...
Nice, but not too nice!
No, it should look great.
Hair is important for men.
Hiya.
Now, let's plan out
the dating course.
No worries.
Any girl will love my plan.
I am extremely worried.
First,
we are going to visit a farm.
We are having sandwiches
and pork ribs for dinner.
Then, we will have apple juice
and parfait for dessert.
Wait!
Are you seriously a tween?
There are so many problems.
At the end of the night,
have wine
or beer at a nice bar.
Oh, alcohol?
Yes!
This place is so nice.
I know.
Your hair...
My hair?
Is it weird?
It is just...
It looks futuristic.
It looks good.
Really?
Whew.
Thanks.
Cheers.
Thank you.
Here.
Thanks.
Hansol, can you guess?
Guess what?
What name do flowers hate?
I know, Wilton!
Flowers don't like to wilt!
Wow, you are so smart.
Do you have any more?
We are seeing
a movie tomorrow.
Will you help me choose?
What are the options?
'Attack the Gas Station'
or 'Shiri'.
'Shiri'?
Yes, I am here.
Is someone with you?
You said 'Shiri'...
'Shiri' is a 1999 spy film.
Kim Yunjin turned out
to be the culprit.
Go get your mom.
Don't you recognize
your dad's voice?
She is not there?
Do you have any more?
Hello?
Isn't your mom home?
Where did she go?
You don't know?
That was a fun movie.
It was so funny.
Didn't you say you
wanted to see 'Shiri'?
My friend saw it first and
told me the entire story.
What a bad friend.
That is called a spoiler.
Spoiler?
Where should we go now?
Wow, you are good!
You will break the machine!
Wow!
Hansol, that was...
This, this, and this.
Okay.
Let's start taking pictures!
One, two, three!
Who are you interviewing?
A university student living
in 1999.
I don't understand
what you mean.
Well...
He was a university student
in 1999.
Oh.
What is your theme?
Well...
Dreams and love.
Dreams and love?
Dreams and love.
That is terrific.
Make your presentation
next class.
Okay.
That is all.
Thank you, professor!
(I am an idiot,)
(who talks
about love these days?)
Yong,
what is your university life like?
It is really hectic.
I will be a senior next year.
I wanted to get to know myself
when I came to university.
But assignments and life are
getting in the way.
Even when I am hanging out
with my friends,
I am nervous.
Sometimes, I just go and sit
at the library.
Isn't that idiotic?
No, I understand.
I am the same way.
Did you choose
a career path?
Do you have any dreams?
Dreams are a burden to me.
They are a hassle,
and they are irritating.
I want to let them go.
But I can't get rid of them.
(Writing Notebook)
They are white elephants.
Dreams should not be like that.
How about a talking stage
between you two?
Talking what?
Your talking stage.
It is the step
before a relationship.
Do you mean the chase?
Confess your feelings for her.
Then, she will look
at you differently.
What is she like?
She is...
A miracle I found
when I was desperate.
I want to
become someone worthy of her.
Oh, that could be my new dream!
I can tell by your voice
that you really like her.
Is it that obvious?
Love is all about timing.
You should follow your heart,
instead of listening to my advice.
Honesty always works.
Go, Kim Yong!
You can do it!
We made curfew, right?
Yes.
We ran like we were shooting
a commercial.
Youths, run toward your goals!
I will get going.
See you tomorrow.
Okay, get inside.
Good night.
Have a dream of me.
Follow your heart.
Honesty always...
Hansol.
Yes?
Starting from tomorrow...
Would you go out with me?
My heart is still racing.
Your words gave me courage.
I can tell just
by your voice.
Your love story is
warming my heart, too.
Do you like anyone?
Me?
If love is all about timing,
I am way off.
I don't know your situation,
but don't give up on love.
That would be...
So lonely.
That is right.
But sometimes,
there is no choice.
I always have
to hide my feelings.
Those girls come here
to see Youngji?
Yeah.
No way.
It is true.
Do you want to go
on a trip with me?
Are you okay?
Did I say something shocking?
Yes!
What is gotten into you?
You are always studying.
I thought
it would be good for you.
Every day, I am trying hard
not to fall in love with him.
I can tell by your voice
that you like him a lot.
Is that so?
It makes me curious.
We have been friends
for 7 years.
Not about him.
About you.
I am curious about you, too.
I want to tell you everything.
Weirdly,
it feels like we are old friends.
Me, too.
We might become BFFs.
BFFs?
BFs forever.
BFs?
It means
that we are totes best friends.
You keep using strange words.
King Sejong will be back tumbling
in his grave, right?
What?
Back tumbling?
Back tumbling!
That is so creative!
(Kim Yong enrolled in 1995)
That joke is way ahead
of its time!
Wait, 1995?
What is your major?
Mechanical engineering.
No way.
My dad majored
in mechanical engineering.
Do you know Kim Eunsung?
How do you know Eunsung?
He is my dad!
Are you close with him?
Yeah, we have been friends
since high school.
OMG!
Are you telling me
that you are Eunsung's daughter?
Yes!
This is ridiculous.
Who the heck are you?
Did he put you up to this?
It is true,
my dad is Kim Eunsung.
I could not believe it, either.
I thought you were lying.
But you don't sound
like a liar at all.
Sometimes, life is
stranger than fiction.
It is hard to explain, but...
We are using some kind
of time machine.
Are you saying
this is all real?
Yes, isn't it freaky?
This is insane!
Then, your Ham radio...
It is my dad's.
He used to use it
in high school.
I am using his Ham, too.
The one with the faded sticker?
There is no sticker.
Look closely.
It is on the left side.
Left side?
There is nothing here.
I don't see it, Munee.
You must know my mom, too.
How would I know your mom?
Don't you know Seo Hansol?
My parents were both parts
of the student council.
Wait...
You are lying about Eunsung
and Hansol getting married?
It is the truth!
Why would I lie
about my parents?
Yong, this is crazy.
But I trust you.
You trust me too, right?
Munee,
you have a great imagination.
You should turn it
into a movie.
My mom and dad were
a famous couple at school.
Are you sure
you don't know?
What the heck...
Mokman, what is going on?
The end is nigh!
The world will...
It won't end!
Yes, it will!
The apocalypse is coming!
What are you doing?
What is wrong?
Excuse us.
Hey, my leg still hurts.
It is not true, right?
What?
Eunsung, tell me the truth.
Do you know
Kim Munee?
Min Munee?
Kim Munee!
Who is that?
Are you two playing a prank
on me?
What are you talking about?
Yong, what is wrong?
Kim Yong...
Never mind.
I must have been out
of my mind.
That has always been the case.
Why did not you tell me
you were out of the hospital?
I did not need your help.
Let's go, Hansol.
Okay.
Hansol, do you want some help
with your math quiz?
I will get you past exam papers.
That is the most efficient way
to study.
Then, you will have more time
for me.
I will be fine.
You have more to study for.
Hansol.
Why were you
with Eunsung?
He is
the student council president.
I am the freshman representative.
Why would you do that?
Yong...
It is all battered up.
I tried to stop them.
I guess
you were not injured that badly.
What is wrong?
Did you check
with the administration office?
They can't share
private information.
(Kim Eunsung)
That is my dad.
Your parents are returning
to Korea next year, right?
Yeah, next year.
Youngji...
These might be the strangest
and most important events
of my life.
I might regret it
if I just neglect them.
Why do you
feel that way?
I am not sure.
I am acting strange, aren't I?
So...
What is his name?
Yong, you should leave.
This is a meeting.
Don't mind me.
There is my BF!
Get out.
I will kill you.
What is wrong with you?
I get that you like her,
but there is a line.
She is meeting
other representatives
for the first time today.
You are making her uncomfortable.
Go cool off.
There you are.
I think
love is making me blind.
Crazy jackass.
If you are going to act like this,
just drop out.
Wow,
Geuntae can't keep a secret.
What secret?
I have known you for years.
I know what you are good at,
and what you like.
Mechanical engineering is not
for you.
You are just forcing yourself.
Your dream is to become a writer,
right?
People can't only do
what they like.
You are going to live life doing
what you don't like?
Damn it...
You should quit smoking.
Thanks.
I won't give up.
On love,
or your dreams?
Yong, we are here.
Eunsung, you are here too?
I brought the freshmen.
Kim Eunsung,
answer the phone now and then.
Wash your face and sober up.
Hurry up.
Are you leaving?
Yeah.
But we brought a lot of beers.
Goodbye, then.
Go study.
Hansol, sit here.
Yong.
Oh...
Come on in.
It is a bit messy.
Namhae dragged us here.
I am sorry to barge in.
No, it is fine.
Do you like reading?
I guess.
It is just a hobby.
Oh, a Ham radio!
Do you know how to use it?
Does it work?
What should I do?
Hansol...
I will teach you next time.
Promise me?
Of course.
I will give you
a gift in return.
Don't remove this sticker.
It is a good picture of us.
Not until you keep your promise.
Okay?
I will wait for you outside.
Is it Dad's?
Kim Yong...
(Mommy)
Hello?
Mom...
Munee.
Apparently...
He suddenly disappeared.
My mom's first love...
I cheered him on.
He was an idiot in love.
I really wanted him
to become happy.
I guess I could feel
how much he loved my mom.
Youngji,
did I ruin everything?
What if I said something
that I should not have?
If your words ruined
their relationship...
They would have broken up,
no matter what.
So, don't blame yourself.
(Mechanical Engineering Forever)
That is so scary.
They have no sportsmanship.
They might kill us
with those shovels.
Mechanical engineering!
If you win,
there is no class tomorrow!
Let's beat them!
Behind you!
Block him!
Nice!
Good job!
Hey, look alive!
Sorry.
Pass!
Over here, Yong!
Are things not going your way?
Foul!
You are getting a warning.
Can you get up?
You scumbag,
get over here!
Hey, hey!
Are you okay?
Can you move?
Is he dead?
Try to get up.
He started it!
That is ridiculous!
Breathe.
Sit up.
Can you get up?
Kim Yong...
Hey, stop.
Where is he going?
What are you doing?
You denied it.
Denied what?
What a prick!
you denied it!
Hey, let go of him!
You jerk!
What is your name?
Choi Dongtak.
Students from other departures,
leave for a better atmosphere.
Are you okay?
Yeah, his punches are not strong.
Where is Yong?
Oh, he just left.
He is not a violent person.
I have been nagging him
about studying.
I guess he had pentup anger.
He has been stressed
about schoolwork and love.
When he looked at me,
he just exploded.
I should not have run my mouth.
What I am trying to say is,
don't be disappointed in him.
Munee...
I can't ignore it anymore.
My heart...
Is full of suspicion.
I guess
my love is not strong enough.
Munee.
Did her...
Dreams come true?
Is she living a happy life?
If I keep dating Hansol...
Munee might not be born.
She might not exist.
Mokman...
Mokman.
Mokman.
Mokman.
Mokman!
Mokman.
Mokman...
Mokman!
Oh, no...
Mokman, Mokman!
Where is he?
Damn it...
Where did he go?
Mokman.
Mokman...
Mokman, Mokman.
What the heck?
Sorry, I...
Mokman...
Mokman.
Mokman...
Mokman,
don't do this to me.
You can't leave me.
Mokman, don't abandon me.
Mokman!
Mokman.
I can't do this.
I look pathetic.
Munee.
I am going to stop...
Going after her.
It was love at first sight.
Even if I could turn back time,
I would love her again.
She was everything to me.
I won't lie about being okay.
But it could be worse.
So, Munee...
Don't worry about me.
CQCQ.
This is Kim Yong.
I am signing off.
CQCQ.
Can you hear me?
Hello?
Yong, I have something to say.
Yong,
please respond.
(Ham Radio Beginner's Guide
Kim Eunsung)
I could not meet him in person.
But while I was talking with him,
I discovered something
I had buried deep within me.
What was it?
It was...
Love.
They say romance existed
in the past.
Does it no longer exist?
It always exists.
We still love.
But we try to ignore it
due to reallife problems.
I wish love were not an obstacle
to reality.
It should be so widespread
that everyone is in love.
I wish
romance could become reality.
Thank you.
You didn't.
Yes, I did.
Munee!
I found something.
(Time Traveler)
What is this?
Read it.
It must be him.
What?
The jackass
you communicated with.
That guy.
'Null' is his pen name.
His real name is...
Kim Yong.
(Author Kim Yong's Book Signing)
He has a book signing today,
so you can meet him.
I can meet him?
You said you might regret it
if you just neglect it.
I will wait here.
Go to him.
('Time Traveler'
Author Book Signing)
What is your name?
Kim Subin.
I loved your book.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Of course.
Hello.
What is your name?
Kim Munee.
How is Mokman?
Good.
Thanks for coming.
I know it now.
You are...
My miracle.
Follow your heart.
Honesty always works.
Your old friend...
Kim Yong.
I like you.
I have been wanting
to say that.
And I think this is the right time
to tell you.
Youngji, I like you.
I like you, Youngji.
Me too.
Ditto.
Let's go.
When times are hard,
think of this moment.
As time goes by,
it might fade
like an old picture.
But remember how splendid
and beautiful this moment was.
Slow or fast,
let's walk side by side.
Let's all follow our hearts.
Honesty always works.
CQCQ, this is Kim Munee.
I am signing off.
What a sudden downpour.
Here, use this.
What?
Whoa, what are you doing?
She should not catch a cold.
What?
Just take it.
OMG!
