[woman] This is Hong Jihyo.

Hong Jihyo is rational.

Hong Jihyo is sensible.

Hong Jihyo does not believe in anything
that has no scientific substance.

Just because I can see it,
does not mean I have to believe it.



I only need to believe in myself.

When I open my eyes,

I'll be in a world
where both lies and truths exist.

[bell pings]

[clattering]

[man talking on TV]

[switches TV off]

[snoring]

[woman] Shall we begin
the lesson on English expressions?

Listen to the sentence and then repeat it.

- You have a long road ahead of you.
- [chime]

[Jihyo] You have a long road
ahead of you.

[woman] I am planning
for a trip this weekend.

[Jihyo] I am planning
for a trip this weekend.

[woman] Your journey will take you
very far.

[Jihyo] Your journey
will take you very far.

[woman] How long are you planning
to go away?

[sighs]

[Jihyo] How long are you planning
to go away?

[whispers] What about a bite?

I need more time on this.

You do know it's lunchtime?

We have another ten minutes before lunch.

But I say we eat first.
Isn't all this work we do to eat?

- Make a living...
- [man] Ms. Oh.

- Yes?
- Time to order lunch.

Okay!

How about that for timing, huh?

And what are we ordering to eat today?

- [man] Whatever tickles your fancy.
- Okay! Is there something you want?

Organic healthy food.

- [woman] Sorry to disturb you eating.
- [man] This is delicious.

[woman] I didn't have time before.

- You bribing us?
- No, I'm not.

What's this?

- I'm getting married!
- [man] Aah!

- [gasps]
- [man] Congratulations.

No wonder you go home early
from company dinners.

PARK SUNGHWAN, LEE YOUNGA

You're only in your mid-20s,
and you're getting married already?

- [laughs]
- What do you mean, "already?"

In the old days,
she would have already had a child.

[woman] That's how it was.

- Congrats.
- [man] Yeah.

- Thank you. Thank you.
- [man] And there she goes.

Wow.

Seeing her get married
really does make her an adult.

- [man] Ms. Hong.
- Huh?

[man] You do know
you're an adult too, right?

- [chuckling]
- Is that so?

She must have gotten pregnant.

Otherwise, just why would they be
getting married after only three months?

Huh?

Really? She'd becoming
a mother right away?

You know Misun, right?

The girl who transferred
during our second year of college.

- Now she has a boy in school.
- Sh...

- She does?
- [sighs]

Wow, it's unreal.

Well, you have Siguk,
so what are you worried about?

Why are you bringing up Siguk now?

- Aren't you guys gonna tie the knot soon?
- Huh?

Uh, well...

Hey, what's wrong?
You'll both be all right.

Everyone I know
is living life to the fullest,

and I'm just getting old.

[both sigh]

[Ms. Oh] I really need to get it together.

[humming]

[clattering]

Oh.

Hmm.

Oh God. [sighs]

Oh God.

[breathing shakily]

Oh, no...

Oops...

[clears throat]

[Jihyo] Oh, that really scared me.

How long has it been?

Three years? Four?

I think this is the first time
that they've come so close.

Okay, let's stay calm, Hong Jihyo.

Stay calm.

[cans clatter]

[cashier] You have a discount
or loyalty card?

- [Jihyo] No.
- [cashier] Would you like a bag?

[Jihyo] Yes, please.

- [cashier] That'll be 13,200 won.
- [Jihyo] Uh... Okay. Thank you.

[cashier] Thank you, come again soon.

- [shop bell jingling]
- [grunts]

[breathing shakily]

[Jihyo] What I see isn't everything.

Don't believe anything, Hong Jihyo.

[horn blares]

What I see isn't everything.

I shouldn't believe something
just because I see it.

I only need to believe in myself.

That's how I'll get through the day.

GAWA ARCHITECTURE

[man] Day Seven. Step one.

[woman] Listen to the sentences
and then repeat them.

[chiming]

[man] How can I help you? Is there
something else you're looking for?

[Ms. Oh] Good morning, Mr. Park.

[Mr. Park] Ah, Ms. Oh. Hiya, good morning!

[Jihyo] Hey, good morning.

[sighs heavily] Good morning, my ass.

I just got here and I'm already tired.

Wearing contacts?

Mm-mm.

How about we go for drinks later, Jihyo?
Tomorrow's Saturday, right?

Sure, I'll go with you
and watch you drink.

You don't drink anymore?

When I drink, I lose touch with reality.

That's right. Sober is your thing.

I just don't get it.

I'd give anything
not to be sober for 24 hours.

[groans] I already wanna go home.

I wanna stay here!

Don't talk to me about work.

I'm in a great mood
because my ID was checked.

I can't figure out why I'm such a loser?

You don't feel like that, Miju,
and you're just a hair-loss nurse.

To be precise, I separate hair follicles.

So what's your take on it?

What's up, Jihyo?
I'm talking to you. Are you texting?

- Siguk, yeah?
- No, it's Mr. Eom.

- Huh.
- Eom? But why?

I'm helping him install V-Ray
on his computer.

And that's it. What's up?

Jihyo.

Why are you always so damn cool?

[Miju] Oh, here she goes with this crap
again. I'm sick and tired of it.

[wails]

How come I wasn't born Jihyo
instead of Sehee?

Her body's hot, she has a pretty face,

and her father's friend
is the company director.

[Miju] Well, here's to nepotism!

- Cheers.
- [Sehee] She has a boyfriend she'll marry.

Her mom's business is going so well!

Why are you so invincible?

She's my stepmom.

Why is everything so damn easy for you?

Oh, I wish my life
was already figured out like Jihyo's is.

♪ No way you are, but it's cold... ♪

[Jihyo] I got a job through connections.

A successful stepmother
and a boyfriend to marry.

So, yeah. I guess I do have an easy life.

♪ This distance trains me ♪

♪ I jump up at your number... ♪

Right, there's nothing wrong.

I can just live like everyone else.

♪ Call, call ♪

♪ My wake-up call ♪

[through speakers] ♪ Call, call ♪

♪ My wake-up call... ♪

- ♪ My wake-up call ♪

- [crowd cheering]
- [commentator] He's out!

That winds up the game
for the Hyundai Unicorns,

with Hyundai winning two to one,

bringing an end
to this nine-inning game.

Now, Suwon's 12-year professional
baseball team, the Hyundai Unicorns,

will disappear from baseball.

It's just not good behaviour.

The truth is right in front of your eyes.

[breaking up] You cannot turn
a blind eye to it and deny it forever.

[man] ...the ground,
thinking it's hidden itself perfectly.

You are making a pigeon-hearted choice...

...human desperation

- Ooh!

[Jihyo] This is a new approach.

That's all it is. [sighs]

But there's just one thing
that bothers me.

[commentator] He swings!

Strike out! That's the end of the game
for the Hyundai Unicorns.

Hyundai wins, two to one.

- The nine-inning game comes to an end.
- [Jihyo] Why?

- Suwon's 12-year...
- [Jihyo] Why?

SIGUK

- ...the Hyundai Unicorns...
- [Jihyo] Why?

[commentator] ...disappear from baseball...

[Jihyo] Why, of all things,
was it the Unicorns?

[commentator] ...Hyundai Unicorns
will last forever...

Hmm? What?

- [sneezes]
- Bless you.

- [sneezes]
- Wait, no...

You're go... you're gonna lose your teeth.
You okay?

[sighs]

You getting a cold?

Are you okay?

HYUNDAI UNICORNS

HYUNDAI UNICORNS
KBO LEAGUE - DISBANDED TEAM

[Siguk] So, then I asked him,

"Why are loft apartments
the only spaces that you have?"

"Are the only available two-room homes
in Hongdae all loft apartments?"

"What knd of young person
doesn't care about vibes?"

"People live in loft apartments
for the vibes."

That sounds ridiculous to me.
Don't you think?

Young people don't care about vibes.
If I had the cash to worry about vibes,

- I wouldn't be looking for a two-room...
- Do you watch pro baseball?

- What?
- Do you like pro baseball?

How come you ask?

What team do you like?

Do you realise how many baseball players
die in accidents every single year?

Have you ever talked to me
or thought about baseball? Like...

It's a question
that's been stuck inside my memory,

and I'm not really sure why it is.

Your brain is off-limits to me.

[tuts] I guess so.

Now, what are you up to?

Nothing at all.

- Then I'll finish what I was saying.
- Huh.

A two-bedroom...

[sighs] Never mind.

Never mind. Here, look.

You know what? Check this out.

[phone chirps]

YOU ARE PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATE #12
FOR THE YOUTH RENTAL HOUSING PROGRAM

- What is this?
- A house.

- What house?
- Our house.

Why do we have a house?

A request to rent the house.

It went through! [laughs]

- Oh... Huh?
- A house.

In spite of the economy,
I got us us a house!

[laughs] Yeah!

[cat yowls]

Oh... [chuckles weakly]

Oh? Huh?

Happy?

Oh, yeah.

That's nice, congrats.

Then...

Then we will share the house?

Mm-hm.

Let's face them!

Face who?

[man] Sturgeon,
also known as a living fossil,

are one of the few animals
that maintain an outward appearance

that is almost identical
to their ancestors'

170 million years ago.

Sturgeon are carnivorous,
but have no teeth at all,

so they sweep the area underwater
using the four barbels

that feed on dead fish, plankton
and aquatic plants they find.

[Jihyo] Um...

Could you two spare
some time this weekend?

Siguk would like to invite all of us
out for dinner.

Uh, how come now?

Uh, he wants to talk.

So Siguk can ask you? Huh?

Your father and I just so happen
to have some time this weekend.

If you two put it together,
then we'll join you.

Okay.

[dad] Ah! Finally, finally!

I was worried she'd never be able
to live like a normal person.

Thank goodness, really.

[stepmom] All right, calm down.
Why are you making such a fuss?

[dad] Just as long as she can live
like everyone else.

- [sighs]
- [dad] I don't ask for much!

[sighs heavily]

[Jihyo] So, is this how these things go?

Graduate, find a job,

get married, have a baby.

Live like everyone else

and ignore the weird things
I sometimes see.

Isn't that right, Jihyo, huh?
Aren't I right? Huh?

[soft piano music]

What?

[dad] You know, back in middle school,
you used to like all that stuff.

UFOs and aliens.

She was quite a unique girl, huh?

- [chuckles]
- Why keep telling that story?

[dad] I never thought she'd grow up
to be such a normal girl.

Back then, she... she had
a special relationship with the world.

She started hanging out
with a strange kid.

- And then you started saying...
- Dad.

Anything else you wanna eat?

What? I...

No, no, this... This'll do.

How long have you been together?

[Siguk] We, uh...
Well, it's been about four years.

1,482 days, right?

- [stepmom] And marriage?
- [Siguk] I certainly have it in mind.

Then shouldn't you two
start living together?

Uh... it's been quite some time now
that we've been discussing this subject.

Actually, the truth is that I'm worried

because my home is a bit cramped
for the both of us to live there.

However, that issue was settled
very recently.

Why aren't you living together?

I'm not saying you
should get married right away.

Cohabitation's not bad.

You might think you know everything
about each other now,

but it's not a bad idea
to try to live together.

- Uh...
- You might end up saving time that way.

Starting things
by first testing the waters

- is not at all dishonorable.
- Oh. Yeah... Uh...

You are very wise, Mother!

[laughing]

Hey...

Hong Jihyo.

Hong Jihyo, where are you going?

[Jihypo] To get a plate of ganjang gejang.

Did I do something wrong?

[phone chirps]

[Siguk] Where are you?

Why aren't you coming back? Save me!

[Jihyo] On my way.

[burst of static]

- [woman] I'm watching you.
- [man] I'm...

[woman] I'm watching you.
I'm watching you.

I'M WATCHING YOU

I'm watching you. I'm watching you.

[man] I'm watching you.

[woman] I'm watching you.
I'm watching you.

- [woman] Watching you. Watching you.

- [man] I'm watching.
- [woman] Watching.

I'm watching you.

[gasping]

Where am I? [gasps]

[distant laughter]

[girl 1, echoing] Hey, that's so strange!

- A bit lower.
- [Jihyo] Hello?

[girl 1 laughing]

I'm going to tell everyone!

[girl 2] No!

Hey, I know all about it.

About the UFO that went down in Seoul.

- You know, the UFO in Seoul.
- [girl 1] Hey.

How do you draw stuff like this?

What should we draw on the lady's face?

Back Yoonsun,
the one who got abducted by a UFO.

- Ugh. Why?
- [girl 2] Why not?

We should do the same thing to her.

[girl 1] She said she met an alien.

[girl 2] You wanna draw too, huh?
Forget it.

- Just wait a second.
- [girl 1 laughs]

[whimpers]

- [distant sirens wailing]
- [gasps]

Huh?

Huh?

Oh?

[gasps]

[yelps]

[shrieks]

[groans]

[gasps]

- [man] Hey!
- [groans]

What are you doing here?

[gasping]

[man] All right,
we have a few videos here.

In the first video,
you're enjoying a cigarette.

- [taps key]
- And I'm not sure what you're doing here.

Anyways, you did this, then...

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run.

Then, to see where you went next,
if you look at the second video...

Here. This is the lobby
of that building from earlier.

You stood there for a while
thinking about something.

And after that...

- [distant siren wailing]
- [tapping keys]

Here. This is all we have.

Why'd you go up there?

What were you doing
on the roof of that building?

Right...

[sighs] Why was I up there?

I can't remember a thing.

Were you drinking too much?

Spirits aren't my thing.

If you didn't drink,
then why'd you black out?

Right, so then why...

Why did I do that?

Lady.

You could be charged with
breaking and entering.

You seem to think you can get off the hook
by beating around the bush,

but I'm no idiot.

I happen to have served in the Marines,
and play by the rules.

Oh.

Oh, no. [sniffles]

Mmm...

What is this? [sniffs]

[clattering]

[cop] It's not a piece of cake, is it?

Life, I mean.

You think you're the only one suffering,
but you're not.

You've no idea of the people I meet
on this job.

Each one of them's got his own story.

And sometimes... [sighs]

...I, uh, run across people
who make me wonder,

just why is this life
so damn cruel to them?

Just the same, though... [sighs]

...they stick it out.

I hope that you think about it.

It... it'd be a pity.

'Cause you are...

You're such a nice young girl, yeah?

Right.

You're such a...

Huh?

What are you saying?

What?

You began saying something.

[Siguk] Jihyo!

[siren blares]

Yes, sir.

One moment. Yes, Mr. Hong.
I just found her. Yes.

I didn't tell your father
about you being at the police station.

Can you tell me about this?

Where did you run off to
in the middle of dinner?

And what's this have to do
with the police?

Siguk.

About your friend Doc.

The magician. Magician Hyungwoo. Huh?

Why are you talking about him?

He opened a counseling office.
Do you know where it is?

He told me to drop over,
but I haven't yet.

Should I go over there?

Why are you suddenly talking about this?
That's not what we were talking about.

What's all this about
professional baseball and your magician?

What... what's gotten into you?

Will yuo please tell me what's going on?

[sighs]

What were you up to on that rooftop alone?

Not suicide.

Then what were you doing?

[sighs]

Hey, Jihyo...
Are we going to live together?

Siguk, I'm really sorry.
Can we not talk about this right now?

That's what I've been doing
for four years.

I've waited patiently for you.

Years and years, lingering.

I wish you'd make a decision.

[man] What are you saying?
Isn't it clear how I feel by now?

[lower voice] Isn't it obvious
that I love you?

I love you. You're the only one for me.

Can we talk later, Nayoung?
I need to get to work now.

HAPPY CHILD

Yes, me too.

- Hyungwoo.
- Oh my God!

[sighs] You scared the shit out of me.

To the new opening.

You're giving me this already?

We've only been open seven months.

Why are you here without Siguk?
Did you break up?

I'm seeing them, Hyungwoo.

[keypad bleeping]

They've... reappeared.

The green helmet guy.

[bleeping]

This time, the issue is even bigger.

And I mean, literally bigger.

What I'm saying
is the size of it was huge.

It was an enormous one!

[sighs] It was so big
that I just couldn't ignore it.

And then?

How did you deal with it?

I ran. I... I began to run, and...

to my surprise, I ended up in reeds and...

- But there was this van.
- Reeds? Van?

Tell me more about this van.

- [pouring]
- Oh...

It's something from the past.

In middle school,
my friend and I would hang out

in a weird old van
behind our neighborhood.

How's that for a hallucination?

All these crazy memories
mixed together, aah...

[sighs] This is so not cool.

Who's the friend from middle school?

It's just a random illusion.
It's not a crisis or anything.

I need to hear what happened, in order
to determine if it's important or not.

The thing most important in counseling

is learning about the person you are
and how you feel inside.

And to do that, you have
to look back into your past.

It seems... it seems useless. For what?

So why did you come around, huh?

'Cause I wanna stop seeing Martians!

No more aliens, please!

And why...

why are they appearing to me?

- Hmm.
- Why is it like this? And why...

[sighs] Why...

What about the Unicorns I saw?

Okay...

What about your daily habits lately?

I suppose one could say that I'm probably
livng the ideal existence. [sighs]

I'm the only one acting stupid.

And your relationship to others?

Oh, they're fine, I guess you could say.

Sehee is a lot more annoying than usual.

- Much more.
- Oh yeah?

Weren't Siguk, you and Sehee
like the Three Musketeers in college?

We were.

Then...

my dating Siguk
changed the picture. [sighs]

Sehee began acting
like she was my ex-sweetheart.

Oh God.

It's like she's jealous of Siguk.

[sighs]

If she's like this now,

just think what will happen
when I move in with Siguk.

Stop. You're gonna live with Siguk?

Uh-huh.

Didn't I tell you about this?

I've been asking you about that.

I should have known about this
from the start.

Jihyo.

Are you quite sure
that this will work out?

Is there maybe something that bothers you?

CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHOLOGY CENTER
HAPPY CHILD - MA HYUNGWOO

[beeping]

[door unlocks]

- [stepmom] Welcome home.
- [door closes]

- [bleeping]
- [Jihyo] You haven't gone to bed yet?

[stepmom] I'm going now.

You going to work tomorrow?

Yes.

Good night.

[dad] Hey, Hong Jihyo.

- Come have a seat for a moment.
- [door closes]

How much longer are you gonna act
like that towards your mother?

- What do you mean?
- What upset you at dinner yesterday?

What happened?

You need to tell me about anything
that might be concerning for you.

Was there an issue? With us?

If there was, I would tell you.

It's no one in particular.

Then why did you do that?

I have no idea. Really.

How is that possible?

I think you can explain it if you try.

Huh? Hey.

Do you plan to behave like this, Jihyo,
in front of Siguk's family?

Your future in-laws will criticize you
because of your crazy manners!

Hey, we're in the middle
of a conversation.

Come back here and sit down. Hey!

Hello! Where do you think you're going?

[horn blares]

[man] Welcome.

- [Siguk] Thank you.
- [man] Just one person?

Uh, I'm meeting someone here.
Oh, there she is.

Ugh. Give me a break.

[scoffs]

You were drinking, Hong Jihyo?

One drink and you're down for the count.

Hey. Hey, Hong Jihyo.

[sighs] Mr. Head Shrink just called.

Oh yeah? What'd he tell you?

Just some small talk
about each other's lives,

and all of a sudden, he asked about us.

Oh, shit, shit, shit.

- Did you go in for counseling?
- Oh, he wasn't supposed to say!

What'd you guys say?

Can you tell me anything?

Damn it! [sighs]

Why is it that, whatever you ask,
they're always such useless questions?

Huh?

Shall I tell you?

Time to speak.

[sighs] I...

I...

- I'm obsessed with lofts.
- Huh?

I dream of an attic
with a shitty heating system.

It's true that I owe my success
to connections and Unicorns.

I'm not at all the same girl
that I was in that van.

- What? What are you saying...
- What I'm saying is...

...now, if I ended up being a crazy girl,
could you live with me?
