Take Care of My Cat (2001) - full transcript
In the port city of Icheon, five female friends struggle to stay close while forging a life for themselves after high school. When one of the group, upwardly-mobile Hae-ju, moves to Seoul, the other girls deal with the loss in different ways. Feeling most rejected, shy Ji-yeong finds comfort in her new friendship with rebel Tae-hee.

Walking over our fallen friends,
march forward, march forward!
Farewell Nak-dong River,
we're marching forward!
Let's take a picture!
Everyone, smile
Wait, it's better over there
Wait, wait
Actually, the first place was better
- Okay, look pretty
- Are you taking it?
One, two, three
You're probably still asleep
See you tomorrow at
Club 369 at 7:00
Sending Message
Oh, you're here. I thought you
were coming in the afternoon
I was but I changed my mind
I'd rather take off early
You're here early.
Where do you live again, Haejoo?
Inchon
The dailies are here
Here you go
Here you go
- Here you go
- Thanks, Haejoo
Title: Do Your Best
I want to do my best for you
I hope you'll do the same
What kind of poem is this?
Like you said, the sound of typing
is really nice
But you're just being stubborn
not writing your poem on a computer
It's the only way I can see you
Are you hungry?
No
I'm just tense
Why do you like me so much?
Just because
I like your strong legs
My legs?
Hey, Biryu
- Biryu!
- What?
Wait, wait a minute
- Hey, let's switch
- Switch what?
- I think the front's heavier
- The back's heavy, too
Still, let's switch one time
All right
Grandfather, it's Biryu and Ohnjo
Mom sent a present from Japan
Please open the door
(Spoken in Chinese)
Grandfather, if you have no daughter,
what about our mom?
We'll just leave it here
And mom sends her regards, for both
of you to live long and healthy
Good-bye
Pretty, huh? We made it ourselves
We used the best fishing line
so it'll never break
How much is this?
Two dollars
What about this one?
Also two dollars
That's too much
Could you give me a better price?
Okay, okay. Guess who's older between
us and I'll give you a special price
- Did you find a new job?
- Not yet
As soon as we sell off the equipment,
I'll send you the rest of the money
Thanks for everything
Grandma!
Oh, Jiyoung
A cat's too sneaky to keep at home
No good. What if it causes trouble
for you later?
Who believes in that stuff these days?
Grandpa was born in the year of the
tiger. The cat won't hold up anyway
Your name is Titi
Do you like it?
You're home!
Why are you so late?
We were going to
eat together, remember?
Today was her volunteer day
You volunteer your time
- And they don't even feed you?
- Mind your own business
You miss dinnertime, you don't eat
With your belly full
and clothes on your back,
you can't even look out for yourself
But you spend all your time on others
Don't worry, I'm not hungry
Always locking that room,
no wonder it's all moldy
- Haejoo!
- Yes?
- Your boyfriend must've sent this
- It's for me?
You're so lucky
Wow, twenty roses and some perfume
All that's left is a steamy kiss
Who sent this?
'I'll always be by your side'
Chanyong?
Who's chasing after Haejoo
without my permission?
- Is it your birthday today?
- Yes
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't even get you anything
How about a movie with me today?
Someone sent her flowers
She must have something tonight
No, I don't
I have no plans
Really? Then forget the movie
Shall we go for a drive?
No, that's not it
I'm sorry. They want this done
by today, what can I do?
Come on, I can't say,
'I can't because it's my birthday'
Why do I have to call all the time?
Do you know how hard it is
to get everyone together?
Who knows, she says she's busy
- Excuse me, one rice drink
- Okay, one second please
Hello, Jiyoung please
She quit? When?
Thank you
The stones are heated up,
you can go in
Who ordered the rice drink?
Here
What's that?
Here, try this on
What is it?
A modified Korean costume?
They wear this everywhere else,
It looks nice, trustworthy
No way! I can't wear this
How can I? It's not even my style
Haejoo, I'm so sorry
I'll have to postpone our drive
until next time
Something came up
When is a good time for you?
- Well, anytime is good for me
- Then let's go this weekend, sorry
I found it!
I told my boss again,
"My friends are so disappointed"
Then she says,
"Are your friends that important?"
- Do I look pretty?
- Oh, it's cute
So she pushed my
deadline until tomorrow
- Really?
- Is that true?
With just two candles, it looks like
I'm only two, not twenty
Get your phones
Happy birthday
Thank you
It's the one you wanted, right?
Wait, let me check the color
I really like this color
Give me a mirror
Let me try it!
Hopeless...
Whose lipstick is it?
How do I look?
Like a witch
- We've got something, too
- Really? Give it to me already
What is it?
- Could it be... a push-up bra?
- Slut, you're so quick
With your perky boobs,
you'll be lucky this year
- This latest style...
- ...holds them tight and pushes them up
- Enough
- It even has lace on it!
Happy birthday!
- What is it? It's so big
- Open it!
Wow, it's a cat
It's so cute!
You're giving it to me?
It's so adorable
I call her Titi
You can change it if you want
Titi?
The name's kind of...
I don't know
Hey, Titi
It's mine
Give it here
Hello
Hey
Is it Chanyong?
Tell him to come
- Chanyong's coming? Tell him to come
- He says he will. Let him come
- Biryu and Ohnjo are dying to see you
- Did you draw this?
It's pretty cool
But still it must be boring
to paint all this one by one
Jiyoung, you really surprised me
I never thought you'd give me a cat
Take good care of her
What are you up to these days?
Just chilling
Thinking of this and that
Thinking?
Of what?
About maybe studying abroad
Everyone in textiles
goes abroad these days
You think anyone can go?
You have to have money
Forget that, I'll get you
a part-time job
Save up and take some classes
What do you think?
Hey, Jiyoung!
Why do you smoke so much?
It's so bad for you
You're all going to be
moms some day
I'm really worried about
the future of mankind
- You must like cats
- They're cute
I trust the proverb, "Man who hates
cats cannot have a good woman"
There's a saying like that?
Why do you like
Haejoo so much?
What do you think?
Do I look good?
Please don't
Do you have any cigarettes?
Hey, go get me some cigarettes
Wake up, Taehee!
Hold her!
Hurry!
Wait up!
Why'd you drink so much?
Wait!
Wait, mister!
- Grab Taehee! Hold her!
- Get up
- Thank you, mister
- Don't stay out so late
Yes, sir
What are you smiling about?
- Why are you so late?
- Do you know what time it is?
Sorry
Do you have to call
a person out this early?
I took her without much thought
but I really can't keep her
I have to move and all
I mean, having a cat seemed easy
but it's a lot work
I'm late for work
Come by sometime,
I'll buy you lunch
- When?
- Whenever
- Mr. Park
- Yes?
Here's a chart of your deposit/
withdrawal and main accounts
Really?
- You're the best, Haejoo
- What about mine, Haejoo?
Hey, do you think Haejoo
has nothing better to do?
I'll do yours too, starting tomorrow
Haejoo, thank you
Hello?
Oh, really?
There is no lunchtime
at a brokerage firm
- No, no
- Haejoo, get me an order slip
I'm on my way back to Inchon
You should've called
You can't just show up here
Besides, you know
I'm a little busy
If you're that busy, you could've
called. Why make me wait an hour?
I'm sorry
Still, I wanted to see you
I even brought some goodies
for you to eat
But what brought you here?
It's nothing
Go back to work
Later
Yes, exactly
I don't know that
It's sinking, yes
How much?
Then where should I ask?
'Sailors Wanted'
'Illegal Immigrants Wanted'
I wanted to give you this
Your shot
Experience the original
heating stone?
Miss, there's no one here to
experience that, so try elsewhere
Mister...
Could I get on a ship, too?
Our ship is no cruise
I didn't mean a cruise, either
Go and answer your phone
Hello?
Who? Jiyoung?
Hi, Jiyoung
- No, stay
- Please sit here
It's fine
Where are you going?
To meet a friend
And your grandparents?
They're fine
Can you... find me a job?
All I know are housecleaning jobs
Those are okay, too
Oh no, that's not for you
Next stop,
Inchon International Harbor
I get off here
Please look in to it
- See ya
- Bye
'Passengers'
Where are you coming from?
This is it
Let's finish it quickly
Please take one
Please take one
Let's go
Wow, thanks to you,
we finished really fast
Wow, where are all those people
coming from and going to?
Hey, before I forget
Thanks. When do you
need it back by?
Pay me back when you can
What do you need it for?
Oh, just something
Don't look at me like that
I didn't expect your call
Why?
Can't I call you sometimes?
I always get everyone together
You've never called me first
After graduating, it hurts me most
that we're all growing apart
It was really great
When we were in school
We used to see each other every day
Now there's not much to talk about
even when we do get together
You know, about that
beggar before
Honestly, I'm afraid
I'll turn out like that
Well, I never thought
about it that way
At times, I want to follow
them out of curiosity
What do they do all day?
Wouldn't it nice to wander around
with no regrets?
You think that's freedom?
I don't think so
What if something happens
While you're wandering around?
Yes?
Why?
I'm busy right now
Okay
Hello?
Oh, hey
Just meeting someone
A friend, someone you don't know
Hey, can't I have a friend
you don't know?
Okay, I'll call you later
Welcome
I want to keep the number
but change the phone.
That is the problem. They must
think very little of our king
Who mends socks these days?
They don't cost much
Must not waste anything
if you want to live well
What's there to waste
at this point?
Grandpa, turn it down!
Titi, from now on, I'll sign all
my drawings with your paw
No, that way, right
Higher
Right, no, careful
No, that way, right, a little higher
It's done
Bring me down
Taehee, turn it on
'The Best Original Heating
Stone Chambers'
How do you like it? Nice, right?
- Okay, we're off
- Good work, Good-bye
Hello
Oh, it's Haejoo
Hey, what do you think?
Makes the place brighter, right?
Looks nice too, huh?
- Yes, it looks good
- Taehee's inside. Have fun
Hey, Taehee
What brings you here?
- I was passing by and saw you
- Want some rice cakes?
Rice cakes? No, come down
Let's go somewhere
- Let's go
Dad, I'm going out
- Good-bye
- Bye. Come again
Sure
Wow, it's really big
Actually, I met up with Jiyoung
She called to borrow some money
She'll never pay you back
I lent her money a few times,
but she's never paid me back
She must've been broke
Listen to everyone's favors
and they'll take advantage of you
Take the poet with cerebral paralysis
How long are you going to be his helper?
- I help him because I want to
- Gee, you're so naive
Hey lady, there's a difference
between ambiguous pity and love
Wake up
I really like him
I do
Get married then
'Courthouse'
That's okay. I'll just have dinner
with Haejoo and go home
You go home first, mom
Go on
We'll figure it out
Good-bye
It's over faster than I thought
- Hey, Sis
- What?
You know how some kids talk and cry
about their parents divorce
like confessing some shocking secret?
So I thought divorce
was something really tragic
but it's no big deal
What about you, Sis?
It hasn't hit you yet, that's why
But when it does
it'll make you sad
You think?
Nah, I only need you
Good?
No, lower it to the left a little
Dummy
Do it right
Done
So pretty
- Now go
- Now?
Then are you going to live here?
Go now
Throw out the trash
by the door, too
Mijoo, I'm leaving now
So soon?
She wants me to go. Good-bye
Sure, see you later
Hey, you're really mean
What?
He just showed up, saying he didn't
have anything to do today
Sure, sure
Mijoo, how does it feel to be
a resident of Seoul, the capital?
Do you know what I hated most?
The stench of pork ribs and alcohol in
the subway on my way home to Inchon
Just the thought
make me want to puke
Come and take a look then
Aren't landlords supposed to
fix things like this?
Hello?
Hello?
What did they say?
They said to move then
Shall we move, grandma?
Jiyoung, don't ever go
to the mountains
You know your father
died on a mountain
I know
I won't go
Titi, you did this, right?
Titi, come here
Don't go outside, come here
Titi, come here
How fast do you run the 100m dash?
Do you drink during the day?
What kind of question is that?
Your high school grades
were quite good
Are these all the licenses you have?
Yes
Are you good with computers?
Not very good
Can you drive?
No
Then you can't go to marketing,
which leaves bookkeeping
Your documents say both
your parents have passed away
For bookkeeping, we need an immediate
family member to vouch for you
Titi, do you want it too?
Welcome
- How much is this?
- Five dollars
Hey, isn't that Chanyong?
It really is
Call him
Chanyong!
One second
- Chanyong!
- Hi
- Wow, you look different today
- Who's that? She's pretty
Just a classmate
A classmate?
You went to an all-boys school
We're taking some
prep-classes together
- I'll see you later, bye
- Sure, bye
- Something's fishy, right?
- Yeah, very
Do we have to?
We should at least have monthly
meetings to stay in touch
- Or else it hurts our friendship
- But we have to work on Sunday
Friendship?
That makes it different
But Inchon's too far
Can't you guys come to Seoul?
She always thinks of herself
If we're going Seoul,
then I'm not going
Is it better four of us to go to Seoul,
or for you to come to Inchon?
The four of you come to Seoul
Biryu! Ohnjo!
Why are you so late?
- What about the others?
- Over there
Taehee!
Jiyoung, your hair?
You did it at home, didn't you?
What are you reading?
What's this?
Wow, you really won a lot
What's this?
Haejoo, we saw Chanyong
the other day
- He was with some girl
- So?
Just that he was
But the problem is
she's prettier than you
And Chanyong looked
really good that day
Whatever, let him be
Wow, this is really bizarre
I like Koreans
I love Korean women
Wow, your Korean's really good
Where are you from?
- Myanmar
- Hey, where's Myanmar?
Myanmar?
- Burma
- Huh?
- Burma!
- Myanmar
Hey, what do you guys think?
They want to join us
Taehee
- Let's go
- Jiyoung, let's go
My friends are leaving
Bye!
Hurry up!
- Could be fun, let's hang out with them
- What's there to do with factory boys?
Whats wrong with that?
Tae-hee, you must be their type
South Asians seem attracted to you
Yeah, it happened last time, too
Right?
- Taehee must be making a move on them
- Huh, with that face?
Come over here, hurry
Guys, what do you think?
Should I buy it?
More? Go easy on your wallet
I keep seeing things that I want
What can I do?
- How much is this?
- 42,000 won
That's too expensive
Come now, feel the fabric
It's really high quality
It's our most popular item
Hello
- Interested in knives?
- Yes
- What kind are you looking for?
- This one
- Hey, where are you guys?
- Where are you?
I'm in front of store 155
- Ohnjo! Ohnjo!
- I'm Biryu
- Hey, Haejoo!
- Oh, Biryu!
- I'm Ohnjo. And the others?
- Come here. I just found Ohnjo
Is Biryu there, too?
What? She said she was here
Where are they?
Maybe they went to the opposite exit
Hey, where were you guys?
- I'm starving - Since you guys
came all the way to Seoul, my treat
Where's Jiyoung?
- We don't know
- She wasn't with you guys?
- Did you call her?
- Why me?
- Oh, hey, Jiyoung!
- Why are you here?
- I'm going to go now
- Why?
Sure, go ahead
You've been in a bad mood all day
I told you I didn't want to come
Did someone drag you here?
Jiyoung, let's go together
Jiyoung
Why were you like that to Jiyoung?
What did I do?
In school, you guy were very close
What's so important about
being close in the past?
- It's the present that matters
- The present?
Then, what's important to you
in the present?
Clothes. Why? Are you happy now?
- Hey, this is the last train!
- Taehee, get on quick!
Bye
Use a knife
Jiyoung
Are you home?
What brings you by?
I just wanted to drop off the
garbage bags from the district office
Here
Have you found a job yet?
No
The new Inchon airport's nice,
but it's hard to get to
It's fine with me
Try it for now and move on
when you find a better job, okay?
Okay
It's not like you to see people off
It's cool. Waving at a departing bus
- Mijoo, all your bags are ready
- Thanks again, Chanyong
- Call me often, Sis
- Okay
- Come every weekend
- All right, get home safe
- Good-bye
- Bye, Sis
Hold this
This is helium.
Inhale it and...
Haejoo, do it like this
- Wow, that's really cool
- Try it
Hey, Chanyong! You cut your hair
at the barber's again, didn't you?
How many times did I tell you
to get it cut at a salon?
Okay, I'll get it cut at a salon
Haejoo, your cell phone
Thank you
Hello? Oh, what's up?
Nothing's up. Can't I just call you?
- Do you go to Buksung, the old town?
- Yes
You always call when you're bored
Can't I do the same?
Haejoo, get me the latest
report on Kumho Electric
Yes, sir
Hey, I'm really busy. Call me later
Did you apologize to Jiyoung?
What did I do wrong that
I need to apologize for?
Haejoo, the latest report
on Kumho Electric!
It's closing time and I'm really busy
Call me tonight, bye
- Hey, Haejoo! Haejoo!
- Hi. I have a special for you today
It's the civilized man's commodity,
the toothbrush
And not just any toothbrush
but in 7 rainbow colors
No matter how big your family is,
everyone has their own color
So there is no confusion
In department store's
this sells for 5 bucks
But as a special promotion
I'll subtract 4 and give it to you
for just one buck
Jiyoung! How are you?
Give me a call, okay?
Jiyoung! How are you?
Give me a call, okay?
You're the first friend of Jiyoung's
to come here. Have some dumplings
Thank you. It looks good
My, how pretty you are
- I'm okay. Please have some, too
- I'm fine. Have some more
What brings you here?
I came for a visit to see how
you were doing. I was curious
I thought we might go for a walk
Why haven't you called me?
I sent a lot of text messages
I had a lot to take care of
Don't worry too much about
the other day with Haejoo
- Jiyoung, do you want some oysters?
- No, thank you
Can I have one, too?
Hey, look how I'm doing it
Like this
Are your studies going well,
on textiles or something?
Yeah
Are you giving me this?
If you like it, keep it
Thanks. Wow, you draw really well
But it still must be a little boring
Hey, these are daily toothbrushes
It'd be refreshing to use a
different toothbrush every day
I bought them at a
department store
What are you going to do now?
You haven't worked since
we graduated last year
Have you heard of
a working holiday?
No
I read about it in the paper
In Australia, they find you a job
and teach you English for free
- Sound good, don't you think?
- Nonsense
I guess they do it because they have
a lot of land and not enough people
You haven't experienced
the work force yet
It's not as easy as you think
The biggest mistake I made
in my twenty years is
going to a business high school
without thinking
No one cares that I went to
the best one in Inchon
I have no regrets though
It's brought me to my senses
As soon as people see a flaw,
they look down on you right away
You always have to
be on your toes
Lose it for a second
and you're...
...doomed, doomed
These are our new colleagues,
so let's make them feel welcome
Yes, ma'am
Haejoo, you wear glasses?
You lost your contacts again, huh?
Our two new recruits
really brighten up the place
Haejoo, get us some drinks
Look at you, I almost
didn't recognize you
Your eyes look like two slants
Oh, our drinks
I can see well
Looks like a dorm in here
It used to be student housing
Leave your shoes here
It's amazing, I see more and more
clearly after the laser surgery
The cornea must be
all protein, too
When the laser burned it,
it smelled like meat burning
Now I can grow my nails
I couldn't before because
I'd rip my contacts all the time
So you had surgery in order to
grow your nails?
Next time, I'll do my nose
and widen my eyes a little
I want to change myself
as much as I can
Taehee, sleep over
You wouldn't leave a patient
alone would you? It hurts
The princess syndrome is
also a disease after all
Hello
How many?
This way, please
- Let's sit by the window
- Would you like sit over there?
It's roomy over here
Who cares about a window?
What the hell?
I don't know what I'm looking at
- Excuse me
- Yes?
What's the different between
Original, Red-hot, and Carolina Honey?
This dish is made from ribs
of six-month old piglets
Red-hot is spicy
and Carolina Honey is for those
who like it sweet and sour
Have you decided what you want?
I have no idea
You guys decide
What's the most popular dish here?
The Rib Sampler, you can enjoy
all the different types of ribs
Give us that
Of course if it isn't good,
you're responsible, okay?
I don't trust this fancy crap
When you don't know what to order,
get the most popular dish
It's a safe bet
Dad, beating isn't the only
form of violence
Taking someone's freedom of choice
is also a kind of violence
No big man would stare at a
dinky menu for so long
A man who graciously eats what
he gets will make it big, got it?
Dad, don't worry
I can eat anything
Really?
Everyone comes and goes
but I'm always waiting
People move and I sleep
In that way,
I feel as if I'm always asleep
That all?
I'm jealous
It's really cool
to finish something
Now you'll leave me too, right?
You always group people
into those who stay or leave
Then do you like me?
Just because
someone leaves you,
it doesn't mean that
they don't like you
- Mom, what are you doing?
- I'm heating up some herbal medicine
- Why are you staring at it like that?
- Do you want some, too?
I just want to keep
wandering around
Just the thought of living in
one place suffocates me
On an endlessly sailing boat,
living like flowing water
Never stopping, like nomads
Lying like this on a boat
Watching clouds pass by
while reading
Then I'll build a wonderful
country home by the river
So come visit, okay?
Get real. So that's why
you're running away?
Because of your scrooge dad?
That's not even funny
When did I say I'm leaving
because of my dad?
Only teenagers run away crying
because they hate their parents
That's too tacky
I'm searching for
a reason beyond that
Oh, so profound
Everyone leaves home
because of family problems
If they're happy and satisfied at home,
why would they leave, right?
Girls, how do I look?
Pretty, right?
- Looks great!
- It looks good on you
No need to spin around
- Are you done?
- Want to try it?
Sure
Here
- Is it good?
- Yeah
Taehee, open the door for me
- You try it, too
- It's tastes so good
Jiyoung?
It's so cold
It's freezing outside
Slow down, talk with us
No one's going to take it from you
Whenever I see duk-bok-ki,
it reminds me of when I met Taehee
Why?
Jiyoung and I were eating
duk-bok-ki at a little joint
Taehee was eating really aggressively
just like this, all alone
Really?
I asked her why
she was eating alone
She really wanted duk-bok-ki,
but the friend with her didn't
That's why she was
eating all mad
So I invited her to eat with us
You know you looked really silly then?
- Do you like duk-bok-ki that much?
- I do, too
When my friend said she didn't like
duk-bok-ki, I was totally devastated
See, we were brought
together by duk-bok-ki
We're 'duk-bok-ki' buddies
Have it all, Taehee
Taehee one shot
Taehee, spin
Hurry and spin it
One shot!
- You guys...
- I'm done, drink!
- Heard about this?
- What?
Seeing your future husband
on a full moon
Let's go!
Hurry up
Jiyoung, help me
- Why, Taehee?
- Cigarettes
Hey, slow down
What's wrong?
Something happen?
Ohnjo dropped the mirror
It's all right, it works better
with a broken mirror
Let's hurry up and start
I got all the pieces
Gather around
You guys want to hear a story?
A girl saw a bald man
in the mirror
and was so shocked that she
dropped the knife on the mirror
Later, she was set up
on a blind date
A bald man with a scar on his face
was waiting for her
You scared me. Why are you
giving me the knife?
Hey, don't drop it
Hold it tight
I hope he's handsome
- What if it's Chanyong?
- No way
What's wrong with Chanyong?
I think he's cute
Stop it!
Okay, close your eyes
One, two, three...
What's this?
I knew this would happen
That's strange. Maybe it's because
you're not wearing a funeral dress
- Maybe Haejoo's going to live alone
- Come on!
Do you guys really believe this crap?
Oh, I have no feeling in my leg
I should've let you try it on
When you asked
That's why you should try to be nicer
Who's fault is this?
How can we wait until morning
like this? You troublemaker?
- It's so cold
- Who knew that the door would lock?
Your damn cigarettes
Why'd you move the shoe in the door?
- So cold
- Hey, I've got a great idea
I'm not cold at all because
I'm sweating. Come here and dig
- No thanks
- Come here
It'd be nice if we all lived together
on some tropical island
Digging like this?
Do you know how hard it is
to live together? You have no clue
You're excluded so don't worry
Oh, my back hurts
Are you still mad at me?
I was wrong, okay? Loosen up
I'm even finding a job for you
Who do you think you are?
I'm doing fine without your help
- Jiyoung
- What do you mean, doing fine?
You've barely managed to find
a job waiting tables
What's so great about a job at a
stock firm you got by pulling strings?
I don't know how you see me,
but I did my best to get there
- At least, I don't live like you
- Whats wrong with the way I live?
- What do you know?
- Please stop!
'I couldn't stay. See you later'
- Ji-young -
Jiyoung, where have you been?
You poor thing, what are
you going to do now?
Charity Funeral Home
Jiyoung, over here
It's just a formality but since you're
the sole surviving member,
I need you to come with me
to the station
Peep, peep, little chick
Bravo! Bravo!
It's cold but you'll have to
stay here for now. Sorry
Just relax
If you don't talk, it makes
it more complicated, okay?
Food's here
- Thank you
- Enjoy
You must be hungry, have some
Hey, blondie
You must be happy the old folks
are dead like you wanted
Here, eat
What! You brat!
Is this your living room?
Get up!
- Are you here again?
- I wanted to see you, teacher
Suh Jiyoung
If you don't speak, I have no choice
but to send you to Juvenile Hall
No one can speak for you,
understand?
Is it because you can't talk,
or that you won't talk?
Mother cries for me,
but I cry for myself
My body keeps sliding down
Hey! Type faster, will you?
I'm stuck to the floor,
like a piece of gum
Hey!
Open the door
Come on, open up
Dad wants some dim sums,
so go get some.
- Later
- He wants them now
Then you go
I'm studying
- Go ask big brother
- He's washing his kids
- What about Mom?
- She's on the phone
I'm thinking right now
That means you're free
So, you go. You're the only
one who's doing nothing
She's still a minor
and without a guardian
So she's probably been transferred
to Juvenile Classification
Juvenile Classification?
How do I get there?
They probably don't
allow minors to visit
- Do you want me to make a call?
- I'm not a minor
Why wouldn't she talk?
Who knows what she's thinking?
I can't go
What about work?
Today?
One sec
Hello
Bill is on the line for you
Right now? Yes
My friend says your English is good
Can you help me out tonight?
Yes
Everyone else is taking college classes
at night. What about you, Haejoo?
I think I learn more by working
I'll learn from you
You've always made me feel
like part of the team
So I'm always happy
to help you out
Still, you need a degree
You can't be a value-deficit
all your life
Who would do such a thing?
Haejoo, fax this to headquarters
Sorry, I cant go with you
Have a good visit
Say hi to Ji-young for me
/ Haejoo
Haejoo sent you a text message
Isn't there grass growing on your
tongue from keeping so silent?
It was just a formality
for the cops
But since you won't talk,
the situation's worsening for you
Get out quick
Isn't it stuffy in there?
Jiyoung?
Even if you hack someone to death
with an axe, I'd still be on your side
There are reasons for everything
I believe in you
Even if I get out
I have no place to go
I don't know why you're so mad at me
but it can't all be because of me
In any case, don't be mad...
Haejoo
Haejoo, the manager's looking for you
Are you okay?
That's what work's all about
Listen with one ear,
and out the other, okay?
Let's go
Depending on the results, you get
acknowledged and your value goes up
That's the advantage
Oh, wait a sec
I shouldn't be sending you
on a personal errand, sorry
News flies quickly in our field
If an analysis is decent,
everyone knows about it instantly
In that regard,
it's worth going for
Do you know the branch manager made
me get coffee eleven times today?
At least these days,
the market's good
When the market's bad, one of us
is a coffee vending machine
- Vending machines!
- Shut up
What's good is good
Go back to sleep
So what if we get coffee?
Being so sensitive to stuff like that
is sort of a complex
That's why we're called
value-deficits
Why have you tagged along?
You've never paid dues
for our monthly gatherings
That's right!
Fine, I'll leave then
You're really leaving?
I'm really going
We're only going to
stop you once
Sit down
Don't hate me too much
I'm taking these cigarettes
I bought them with my money
Hey, pay the bill
Bye
See you
Hey, Haejoo
Hey, Chanyong
Are you going to come every time
I call? Very interesting
Are you okay?
What?
I'm going to kiss you
because you're so nice
Pull yourself together, woman
Why?
Hey!
A cat at the animal shelter was
found eaten by other wild cats
Is the wild nature of these
wild cats reaching an extreme?
But still, it can happen
if you're hungry
Right, if you're hungry,
then eat me
You said to eat you
Who could it be?
Who is it?
Taehee, what's up?
Who? Oh, Taehee
Glad to...
Why the cat?
Let's shake
I gave Titi to Biryu and Ohnjo
They'll take good care of her
Since graduating last year,
I worked for my dad for free
I asked around how much I would've
made and I took just that amount
Where are you going to go?
We'll think about it on the way
I thought it'd be better with you
than going alone
TCHA Sung-jai, CHOI Jae-won
Produced by Masulpiri
Walking over our fallen friends,
march forward, march forward!
Farewell Nak-dong River,
we're marching forward!
Let's take a picture!
Everyone, smile
Wait, it's better over there
Wait, wait
Actually, the first place was better
- Okay, look pretty
- Are you taking it?
One, two, three
You're probably still asleep
See you tomorrow at
Club 369 at 7:00
Sending Message
Oh, you're here. I thought you
were coming in the afternoon
I was but I changed my mind
I'd rather take off early
You're here early.
Where do you live again, Haejoo?
Inchon
The dailies are here
Here you go
Here you go
- Here you go
- Thanks, Haejoo
Title: Do Your Best
I want to do my best for you
I hope you'll do the same
What kind of poem is this?
Like you said, the sound of typing
is really nice
But you're just being stubborn
not writing your poem on a computer
It's the only way I can see you
Are you hungry?
No
I'm just tense
Why do you like me so much?
Just because
I like your strong legs
My legs?
Hey, Biryu
- Biryu!
- What?
Wait, wait a minute
- Hey, let's switch
- Switch what?
- I think the front's heavier
- The back's heavy, too
Still, let's switch one time
All right
Grandfather, it's Biryu and Ohnjo
Mom sent a present from Japan
Please open the door
(Spoken in Chinese)
Grandfather, if you have no daughter,
what about our mom?
We'll just leave it here
And mom sends her regards, for both
of you to live long and healthy
Good-bye
Pretty, huh? We made it ourselves
We used the best fishing line
so it'll never break
How much is this?
Two dollars
What about this one?
Also two dollars
That's too much
Could you give me a better price?
Okay, okay. Guess who's older between
us and I'll give you a special price
- Did you find a new job?
- Not yet
As soon as we sell off the equipment,
I'll send you the rest of the money
Thanks for everything
Grandma!
Oh, Jiyoung
A cat's too sneaky to keep at home
No good. What if it causes trouble
for you later?
Who believes in that stuff these days?
Grandpa was born in the year of the
tiger. The cat won't hold up anyway
Your name is Titi
Do you like it?
You're home!
Why are you so late?
We were going to
eat together, remember?
Today was her volunteer day
You volunteer your time
- And they don't even feed you?
- Mind your own business
You miss dinnertime, you don't eat
With your belly full
and clothes on your back,
you can't even look out for yourself
But you spend all your time on others
Don't worry, I'm not hungry
Always locking that room,
no wonder it's all moldy
- Haejoo!
- Yes?
- Your boyfriend must've sent this
- It's for me?
You're so lucky
Wow, twenty roses and some perfume
All that's left is a steamy kiss
Who sent this?
'I'll always be by your side'
Chanyong?
Who's chasing after Haejoo
without my permission?
- Is it your birthday today?
- Yes
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't even get you anything
How about a movie with me today?
Someone sent her flowers
She must have something tonight
No, I don't
I have no plans
Really? Then forget the movie
Shall we go for a drive?
No, that's not it
I'm sorry. They want this done
by today, what can I do?
Come on, I can't say,
'I can't because it's my birthday'
Why do I have to call all the time?
Do you know how hard it is
to get everyone together?
Who knows, she says she's busy
- Excuse me, one rice drink
- Okay, one second please
Hello, Jiyoung please
She quit? When?
Thank you
The stones are heated up,
you can go in
Who ordered the rice drink?
Here
What's that?
Here, try this on
What is it?
A modified Korean costume?
They wear this everywhere else,
It looks nice, trustworthy
No way! I can't wear this
How can I? It's not even my style
Haejoo, I'm so sorry
I'll have to postpone our drive
until next time
Something came up
When is a good time for you?
- Well, anytime is good for me
- Then let's go this weekend, sorry
I found it!
I told my boss again,
"My friends are so disappointed"
Then she says,
"Are your friends that important?"
- Do I look pretty?
- Oh, it's cute
So she pushed my
deadline until tomorrow
- Really?
- Is that true?
With just two candles, it looks like
I'm only two, not twenty
Get your phones
Happy birthday
Thank you
It's the one you wanted, right?
Wait, let me check the color
I really like this color
Give me a mirror
Let me try it!
Hopeless...
Whose lipstick is it?
How do I look?
Like a witch
- We've got something, too
- Really? Give it to me already
What is it?
- Could it be... a push-up bra?
- Slut, you're so quick
With your perky boobs,
you'll be lucky this year
- This latest style...
- ...holds them tight and pushes them up
- Enough
- It even has lace on it!
Happy birthday!
- What is it? It's so big
- Open it!
Wow, it's a cat
It's so cute!
You're giving it to me?
It's so adorable
I call her Titi
You can change it if you want
Titi?
The name's kind of...
I don't know
Hey, Titi
It's mine
Give it here
Hello
Hey
Is it Chanyong?
Tell him to come
- Chanyong's coming? Tell him to come
- He says he will. Let him come
- Biryu and Ohnjo are dying to see you
- Did you draw this?
It's pretty cool
But still it must be boring
to paint all this one by one
Jiyoung, you really surprised me
I never thought you'd give me a cat
Take good care of her
What are you up to these days?
Just chilling
Thinking of this and that
Thinking?
Of what?
About maybe studying abroad
Everyone in textiles
goes abroad these days
You think anyone can go?
You have to have money
Forget that, I'll get you
a part-time job
Save up and take some classes
What do you think?
Hey, Jiyoung!
Why do you smoke so much?
It's so bad for you
You're all going to be
moms some day
I'm really worried about
the future of mankind
- You must like cats
- They're cute
I trust the proverb, "Man who hates
cats cannot have a good woman"
There's a saying like that?
Why do you like
Haejoo so much?
What do you think?
Do I look good?
Please don't
Do you have any cigarettes?
Hey, go get me some cigarettes
Wake up, Taehee!
Hold her!
Hurry!
Wait up!
Why'd you drink so much?
Wait!
Wait, mister!
- Grab Taehee! Hold her!
- Get up
- Thank you, mister
- Don't stay out so late
Yes, sir
What are you smiling about?
- Why are you so late?
- Do you know what time it is?
Sorry
Do you have to call
a person out this early?
I took her without much thought
but I really can't keep her
I have to move and all
I mean, having a cat seemed easy
but it's a lot work
I'm late for work
Come by sometime,
I'll buy you lunch
- When?
- Whenever
- Mr. Park
- Yes?
Here's a chart of your deposit/
withdrawal and main accounts
Really?
- You're the best, Haejoo
- What about mine, Haejoo?
Hey, do you think Haejoo
has nothing better to do?
I'll do yours too, starting tomorrow
Haejoo, thank you
Hello?
Oh, really?
There is no lunchtime
at a brokerage firm
- No, no
- Haejoo, get me an order slip
I'm on my way back to Inchon
You should've called
You can't just show up here
Besides, you know
I'm a little busy
If you're that busy, you could've
called. Why make me wait an hour?
I'm sorry
Still, I wanted to see you
I even brought some goodies
for you to eat
But what brought you here?
It's nothing
Go back to work
Later
Yes, exactly
I don't know that
It's sinking, yes
How much?
Then where should I ask?
'Sailors Wanted'
'Illegal Immigrants Wanted'
I wanted to give you this
Your shot
Experience the original
heating stone?
Miss, there's no one here to
experience that, so try elsewhere
Mister...
Could I get on a ship, too?
Our ship is no cruise
I didn't mean a cruise, either
Go and answer your phone
Hello?
Who? Jiyoung?
Hi, Jiyoung
- No, stay
- Please sit here
It's fine
Where are you going?
To meet a friend
And your grandparents?
They're fine
Can you... find me a job?
All I know are housecleaning jobs
Those are okay, too
Oh no, that's not for you
Next stop,
Inchon International Harbor
I get off here
Please look in to it
- See ya
- Bye
'Passengers'
Where are you coming from?
This is it
Let's finish it quickly
Please take one
Please take one
Let's go
Wow, thanks to you,
we finished really fast
Wow, where are all those people
coming from and going to?
Hey, before I forget
Thanks. When do you
need it back by?
Pay me back when you can
What do you need it for?
Oh, just something
Don't look at me like that
I didn't expect your call
Why?
Can't I call you sometimes?
I always get everyone together
You've never called me first
After graduating, it hurts me most
that we're all growing apart
It was really great
When we were in school
We used to see each other every day
Now there's not much to talk about
even when we do get together
You know, about that
beggar before
Honestly, I'm afraid
I'll turn out like that
Well, I never thought
about it that way
At times, I want to follow
them out of curiosity
What do they do all day?
Wouldn't it nice to wander around
with no regrets?
You think that's freedom?
I don't think so
What if something happens
While you're wandering around?
Yes?
Why?
I'm busy right now
Okay
Hello?
Oh, hey
Just meeting someone
A friend, someone you don't know
Hey, can't I have a friend
you don't know?
Okay, I'll call you later
Welcome
I want to keep the number
but change the phone.
That is the problem. They must
think very little of our king
Who mends socks these days?
They don't cost much
Must not waste anything
if you want to live well
What's there to waste
at this point?
Grandpa, turn it down!
Titi, from now on, I'll sign all
my drawings with your paw
No, that way, right
Higher
Right, no, careful
No, that way, right, a little higher
It's done
Bring me down
Taehee, turn it on
'The Best Original Heating
Stone Chambers'
How do you like it? Nice, right?
- Okay, we're off
- Good work, Good-bye
Hello
Oh, it's Haejoo
Hey, what do you think?
Makes the place brighter, right?
Looks nice too, huh?
- Yes, it looks good
- Taehee's inside. Have fun
Hey, Taehee
What brings you here?
- I was passing by and saw you
- Want some rice cakes?
Rice cakes? No, come down
Let's go somewhere
- Let's go
Dad, I'm going out
- Good-bye
- Bye. Come again
Sure
Wow, it's really big
Actually, I met up with Jiyoung
She called to borrow some money
She'll never pay you back
I lent her money a few times,
but she's never paid me back
She must've been broke
Listen to everyone's favors
and they'll take advantage of you
Take the poet with cerebral paralysis
How long are you going to be his helper?
- I help him because I want to
- Gee, you're so naive
Hey lady, there's a difference
between ambiguous pity and love
Wake up
I really like him
I do
Get married then
'Courthouse'
That's okay. I'll just have dinner
with Haejoo and go home
You go home first, mom
Go on
We'll figure it out
Good-bye
It's over faster than I thought
- Hey, Sis
- What?
You know how some kids talk and cry
about their parents divorce
like confessing some shocking secret?
So I thought divorce
was something really tragic
but it's no big deal
What about you, Sis?
It hasn't hit you yet, that's why
But when it does
it'll make you sad
You think?
Nah, I only need you
Good?
No, lower it to the left a little
Dummy
Do it right
Done
So pretty
- Now go
- Now?
Then are you going to live here?
Go now
Throw out the trash
by the door, too
Mijoo, I'm leaving now
So soon?
She wants me to go. Good-bye
Sure, see you later
Hey, you're really mean
What?
He just showed up, saying he didn't
have anything to do today
Sure, sure
Mijoo, how does it feel to be
a resident of Seoul, the capital?
Do you know what I hated most?
The stench of pork ribs and alcohol in
the subway on my way home to Inchon
Just the thought
make me want to puke
Come and take a look then
Aren't landlords supposed to
fix things like this?
Hello?
Hello?
What did they say?
They said to move then
Shall we move, grandma?
Jiyoung, don't ever go
to the mountains
You know your father
died on a mountain
I know
I won't go
Titi, you did this, right?
Titi, come here
Don't go outside, come here
Titi, come here
How fast do you run the 100m dash?
Do you drink during the day?
What kind of question is that?
Your high school grades
were quite good
Are these all the licenses you have?
Yes
Are you good with computers?
Not very good
Can you drive?
No
Then you can't go to marketing,
which leaves bookkeeping
Your documents say both
your parents have passed away
For bookkeeping, we need an immediate
family member to vouch for you
Titi, do you want it too?
Welcome
- How much is this?
- Five dollars
Hey, isn't that Chanyong?
It really is
Call him
Chanyong!
One second
- Chanyong!
- Hi
- Wow, you look different today
- Who's that? She's pretty
Just a classmate
A classmate?
You went to an all-boys school
We're taking some
prep-classes together
- I'll see you later, bye
- Sure, bye
- Something's fishy, right?
- Yeah, very
Do we have to?
We should at least have monthly
meetings to stay in touch
- Or else it hurts our friendship
- But we have to work on Sunday
Friendship?
That makes it different
But Inchon's too far
Can't you guys come to Seoul?
She always thinks of herself
If we're going Seoul,
then I'm not going
Is it better four of us to go to Seoul,
or for you to come to Inchon?
The four of you come to Seoul
Biryu! Ohnjo!
Why are you so late?
- What about the others?
- Over there
Taehee!
Jiyoung, your hair?
You did it at home, didn't you?
What are you reading?
What's this?
Wow, you really won a lot
What's this?
Haejoo, we saw Chanyong
the other day
- He was with some girl
- So?
Just that he was
But the problem is
she's prettier than you
And Chanyong looked
really good that day
Whatever, let him be
Wow, this is really bizarre
I like Koreans
I love Korean women
Wow, your Korean's really good
Where are you from?
- Myanmar
- Hey, where's Myanmar?
Myanmar?
- Burma
- Huh?
- Burma!
- Myanmar
Hey, what do you guys think?
They want to join us
Taehee
- Let's go
- Jiyoung, let's go
My friends are leaving
Bye!
Hurry up!
- Could be fun, let's hang out with them
- What's there to do with factory boys?
Whats wrong with that?
Tae-hee, you must be their type
South Asians seem attracted to you
Yeah, it happened last time, too
Right?
- Taehee must be making a move on them
- Huh, with that face?
Come over here, hurry
Guys, what do you think?
Should I buy it?
More? Go easy on your wallet
I keep seeing things that I want
What can I do?
- How much is this?
- 42,000 won
That's too expensive
Come now, feel the fabric
It's really high quality
It's our most popular item
Hello
- Interested in knives?
- Yes
- What kind are you looking for?
- This one
- Hey, where are you guys?
- Where are you?
I'm in front of store 155
- Ohnjo! Ohnjo!
- I'm Biryu
- Hey, Haejoo!
- Oh, Biryu!
- I'm Ohnjo. And the others?
- Come here. I just found Ohnjo
Is Biryu there, too?
What? She said she was here
Where are they?
Maybe they went to the opposite exit
Hey, where were you guys?
- I'm starving - Since you guys
came all the way to Seoul, my treat
Where's Jiyoung?
- We don't know
- She wasn't with you guys?
- Did you call her?
- Why me?
- Oh, hey, Jiyoung!
- Why are you here?
- I'm going to go now
- Why?
Sure, go ahead
You've been in a bad mood all day
I told you I didn't want to come
Did someone drag you here?
Jiyoung, let's go together
Jiyoung
Why were you like that to Jiyoung?
What did I do?
In school, you guy were very close
What's so important about
being close in the past?
- It's the present that matters
- The present?
Then, what's important to you
in the present?
Clothes. Why? Are you happy now?
- Hey, this is the last train!
- Taehee, get on quick!
Bye
Use a knife
Jiyoung
Are you home?
What brings you by?
I just wanted to drop off the
garbage bags from the district office
Here
Have you found a job yet?
No
The new Inchon airport's nice,
but it's hard to get to
It's fine with me
Try it for now and move on
when you find a better job, okay?
Okay
It's not like you to see people off
It's cool. Waving at a departing bus
- Mijoo, all your bags are ready
- Thanks again, Chanyong
- Call me often, Sis
- Okay
- Come every weekend
- All right, get home safe
- Good-bye
- Bye, Sis
Hold this
This is helium.
Inhale it and...
Haejoo, do it like this
- Wow, that's really cool
- Try it
Hey, Chanyong! You cut your hair
at the barber's again, didn't you?
How many times did I tell you
to get it cut at a salon?
Okay, I'll get it cut at a salon
Haejoo, your cell phone
Thank you
Hello? Oh, what's up?
Nothing's up. Can't I just call you?
- Do you go to Buksung, the old town?
- Yes
You always call when you're bored
Can't I do the same?
Haejoo, get me the latest
report on Kumho Electric
Yes, sir
Hey, I'm really busy. Call me later
Did you apologize to Jiyoung?
What did I do wrong that
I need to apologize for?
Haejoo, the latest report
on Kumho Electric!
It's closing time and I'm really busy
Call me tonight, bye
- Hey, Haejoo! Haejoo!
- Hi. I have a special for you today
It's the civilized man's commodity,
the toothbrush
And not just any toothbrush
but in 7 rainbow colors
No matter how big your family is,
everyone has their own color
So there is no confusion
In department store's
this sells for 5 bucks
But as a special promotion
I'll subtract 4 and give it to you
for just one buck
Jiyoung! How are you?
Give me a call, okay?
Jiyoung! How are you?
Give me a call, okay?
You're the first friend of Jiyoung's
to come here. Have some dumplings
Thank you. It looks good
My, how pretty you are
- I'm okay. Please have some, too
- I'm fine. Have some more
What brings you here?
I came for a visit to see how
you were doing. I was curious
I thought we might go for a walk
Why haven't you called me?
I sent a lot of text messages
I had a lot to take care of
Don't worry too much about
the other day with Haejoo
- Jiyoung, do you want some oysters?
- No, thank you
Can I have one, too?
Hey, look how I'm doing it
Like this
Are your studies going well,
on textiles or something?
Yeah
Are you giving me this?
If you like it, keep it
Thanks. Wow, you draw really well
But it still must be a little boring
Hey, these are daily toothbrushes
It'd be refreshing to use a
different toothbrush every day
I bought them at a
department store
What are you going to do now?
You haven't worked since
we graduated last year
Have you heard of
a working holiday?
No
I read about it in the paper
In Australia, they find you a job
and teach you English for free
- Sound good, don't you think?
- Nonsense
I guess they do it because they have
a lot of land and not enough people
You haven't experienced
the work force yet
It's not as easy as you think
The biggest mistake I made
in my twenty years is
going to a business high school
without thinking
No one cares that I went to
the best one in Inchon
I have no regrets though
It's brought me to my senses
As soon as people see a flaw,
they look down on you right away
You always have to
be on your toes
Lose it for a second
and you're...
...doomed, doomed
These are our new colleagues,
so let's make them feel welcome
Yes, ma'am
Haejoo, you wear glasses?
You lost your contacts again, huh?
Our two new recruits
really brighten up the place
Haejoo, get us some drinks
Look at you, I almost
didn't recognize you
Your eyes look like two slants
Oh, our drinks
I can see well
Looks like a dorm in here
It used to be student housing
Leave your shoes here
It's amazing, I see more and more
clearly after the laser surgery
The cornea must be
all protein, too
When the laser burned it,
it smelled like meat burning
Now I can grow my nails
I couldn't before because
I'd rip my contacts all the time
So you had surgery in order to
grow your nails?
Next time, I'll do my nose
and widen my eyes a little
I want to change myself
as much as I can
Taehee, sleep over
You wouldn't leave a patient
alone would you? It hurts
The princess syndrome is
also a disease after all
Hello
How many?
This way, please
- Let's sit by the window
- Would you like sit over there?
It's roomy over here
Who cares about a window?
What the hell?
I don't know what I'm looking at
- Excuse me
- Yes?
What's the different between
Original, Red-hot, and Carolina Honey?
This dish is made from ribs
of six-month old piglets
Red-hot is spicy
and Carolina Honey is for those
who like it sweet and sour
Have you decided what you want?
I have no idea
You guys decide
What's the most popular dish here?
The Rib Sampler, you can enjoy
all the different types of ribs
Give us that
Of course if it isn't good,
you're responsible, okay?
I don't trust this fancy crap
When you don't know what to order,
get the most popular dish
It's a safe bet
Dad, beating isn't the only
form of violence
Taking someone's freedom of choice
is also a kind of violence
No big man would stare at a
dinky menu for so long
A man who graciously eats what
he gets will make it big, got it?
Dad, don't worry
I can eat anything
Really?
Everyone comes and goes
but I'm always waiting
People move and I sleep
In that way,
I feel as if I'm always asleep
That all?
I'm jealous
It's really cool
to finish something
Now you'll leave me too, right?
You always group people
into those who stay or leave
Then do you like me?
Just because
someone leaves you,
it doesn't mean that
they don't like you
- Mom, what are you doing?
- I'm heating up some herbal medicine
- Why are you staring at it like that?
- Do you want some, too?
I just want to keep
wandering around
Just the thought of living in
one place suffocates me
On an endlessly sailing boat,
living like flowing water
Never stopping, like nomads
Lying like this on a boat
Watching clouds pass by
while reading
Then I'll build a wonderful
country home by the river
So come visit, okay?
Get real. So that's why
you're running away?
Because of your scrooge dad?
That's not even funny
When did I say I'm leaving
because of my dad?
Only teenagers run away crying
because they hate their parents
That's too tacky
I'm searching for
a reason beyond that
Oh, so profound
Everyone leaves home
because of family problems
If they're happy and satisfied at home,
why would they leave, right?
Girls, how do I look?
Pretty, right?
- Looks great!
- It looks good on you
No need to spin around
- Are you done?
- Want to try it?
Sure
Here
- Is it good?
- Yeah
Taehee, open the door for me
- You try it, too
- It's tastes so good
Jiyoung?
It's so cold
It's freezing outside
Slow down, talk with us
No one's going to take it from you
Whenever I see duk-bok-ki,
it reminds me of when I met Taehee
Why?
Jiyoung and I were eating
duk-bok-ki at a little joint
Taehee was eating really aggressively
just like this, all alone
Really?
I asked her why
she was eating alone
She really wanted duk-bok-ki,
but the friend with her didn't
That's why she was
eating all mad
So I invited her to eat with us
You know you looked really silly then?
- Do you like duk-bok-ki that much?
- I do, too
When my friend said she didn't like
duk-bok-ki, I was totally devastated
See, we were brought
together by duk-bok-ki
We're 'duk-bok-ki' buddies
Have it all, Taehee
Taehee one shot
Taehee, spin
Hurry and spin it
One shot!
- You guys...
- I'm done, drink!
- Heard about this?
- What?
Seeing your future husband
on a full moon
Let's go!
Hurry up
Jiyoung, help me
- Why, Taehee?
- Cigarettes
Hey, slow down
What's wrong?
Something happen?
Ohnjo dropped the mirror
It's all right, it works better
with a broken mirror
Let's hurry up and start
I got all the pieces
Gather around
You guys want to hear a story?
A girl saw a bald man
in the mirror
and was so shocked that she
dropped the knife on the mirror
Later, she was set up
on a blind date
A bald man with a scar on his face
was waiting for her
You scared me. Why are you
giving me the knife?
Hey, don't drop it
Hold it tight
I hope he's handsome
- What if it's Chanyong?
- No way
What's wrong with Chanyong?
I think he's cute
Stop it!
Okay, close your eyes
One, two, three...
What's this?
I knew this would happen
That's strange. Maybe it's because
you're not wearing a funeral dress
- Maybe Haejoo's going to live alone
- Come on!
Do you guys really believe this crap?
Oh, I have no feeling in my leg
I should've let you try it on
When you asked
That's why you should try to be nicer
Who's fault is this?
How can we wait until morning
like this? You troublemaker?
- It's so cold
- Who knew that the door would lock?
Your damn cigarettes
Why'd you move the shoe in the door?
- So cold
- Hey, I've got a great idea
I'm not cold at all because
I'm sweating. Come here and dig
- No thanks
- Come here
It'd be nice if we all lived together
on some tropical island
Digging like this?
Do you know how hard it is
to live together? You have no clue
You're excluded so don't worry
Oh, my back hurts
Are you still mad at me?
I was wrong, okay? Loosen up
I'm even finding a job for you
Who do you think you are?
I'm doing fine without your help
- Jiyoung
- What do you mean, doing fine?
You've barely managed to find
a job waiting tables
What's so great about a job at a
stock firm you got by pulling strings?
I don't know how you see me,
but I did my best to get there
- At least, I don't live like you
- Whats wrong with the way I live?
- What do you know?
- Please stop!
'I couldn't stay. See you later'
- Ji-young -
Jiyoung, where have you been?
You poor thing, what are
you going to do now?
Charity Funeral Home
Jiyoung, over here
It's just a formality but since you're
the sole surviving member,
I need you to come with me
to the station
Peep, peep, little chick
Bravo! Bravo!
It's cold but you'll have to
stay here for now. Sorry
Just relax
If you don't talk, it makes
it more complicated, okay?
Food's here
- Thank you
- Enjoy
You must be hungry, have some
Hey, blondie
You must be happy the old folks
are dead like you wanted
Here, eat
What! You brat!
Is this your living room?
Get up!
- Are you here again?
- I wanted to see you, teacher
Suh Jiyoung
If you don't speak, I have no choice
but to send you to Juvenile Hall
No one can speak for you,
understand?
Is it because you can't talk,
or that you won't talk?
Mother cries for me,
but I cry for myself
My body keeps sliding down
Hey! Type faster, will you?
I'm stuck to the floor,
like a piece of gum
Hey!
Open the door
Come on, open up
Dad wants some dim sums,
so go get some.
- Later
- He wants them now
Then you go
I'm studying
- Go ask big brother
- He's washing his kids
- What about Mom?
- She's on the phone
I'm thinking right now
That means you're free
So, you go. You're the only
one who's doing nothing
She's still a minor
and without a guardian
So she's probably been transferred
to Juvenile Classification
Juvenile Classification?
How do I get there?
They probably don't
allow minors to visit
- Do you want me to make a call?
- I'm not a minor
Why wouldn't she talk?
Who knows what she's thinking?
I can't go
What about work?
Today?
One sec
Hello
Bill is on the line for you
Right now? Yes
My friend says your English is good
Can you help me out tonight?
Yes
Everyone else is taking college classes
at night. What about you, Haejoo?
I think I learn more by working
I'll learn from you
You've always made me feel
like part of the team
So I'm always happy
to help you out
Still, you need a degree
You can't be a value-deficit
all your life
Who would do such a thing?
Haejoo, fax this to headquarters
Sorry, I cant go with you
Have a good visit
Say hi to Ji-young for me
/ Haejoo
Haejoo sent you a text message
Isn't there grass growing on your
tongue from keeping so silent?
It was just a formality
for the cops
But since you won't talk,
the situation's worsening for you
Get out quick
Isn't it stuffy in there?
Jiyoung?
Even if you hack someone to death
with an axe, I'd still be on your side
There are reasons for everything
I believe in you
Even if I get out
I have no place to go
I don't know why you're so mad at me
but it can't all be because of me
In any case, don't be mad...
Haejoo
Haejoo, the manager's looking for you
Are you okay?
That's what work's all about
Listen with one ear,
and out the other, okay?
Let's go
Depending on the results, you get
acknowledged and your value goes up
That's the advantage
Oh, wait a sec
I shouldn't be sending you
on a personal errand, sorry
News flies quickly in our field
If an analysis is decent,
everyone knows about it instantly
In that regard,
it's worth going for
Do you know the branch manager made
me get coffee eleven times today?
At least these days,
the market's good
When the market's bad, one of us
is a coffee vending machine
- Vending machines!
- Shut up
What's good is good
Go back to sleep
So what if we get coffee?
Being so sensitive to stuff like that
is sort of a complex
That's why we're called
value-deficits
Why have you tagged along?
You've never paid dues
for our monthly gatherings
That's right!
Fine, I'll leave then
You're really leaving?
I'm really going
We're only going to
stop you once
Sit down
Don't hate me too much
I'm taking these cigarettes
I bought them with my money
Hey, pay the bill
Bye
See you
Hey, Haejoo
Hey, Chanyong
Are you going to come every time
I call? Very interesting
Are you okay?
What?
I'm going to kiss you
because you're so nice
Pull yourself together, woman
Why?
Hey!
A cat at the animal shelter was
found eaten by other wild cats
Is the wild nature of these
wild cats reaching an extreme?
But still, it can happen
if you're hungry
Right, if you're hungry,
then eat me
You said to eat you
Who could it be?
Who is it?
Taehee, what's up?
Who? Oh, Taehee
Glad to...
Why the cat?
Let's shake
I gave Titi to Biryu and Ohnjo
They'll take good care of her
Since graduating last year,
I worked for my dad for free
I asked around how much I would've
made and I took just that amount
Where are you going to go?
We'll think about it on the way
I thought it'd be better with you
than going alone
