MY SASSY GIRL
Exactly two years ago today,
she and I buried
a time capsule here.
We promised to meet
here two years later,
but she hasn't come yet.
I'm going to wait.
Here we go.
Please don't move.
- One, two...
- Wait a minute.
Hello?
Oh, auntie.
Sorry, I'm on my way.
I'm really sorry.
Yes, I'm coming.
I'm having my photo taken.
Bye.
Are you ready?
Here we go.
One, two...
My parents wanted a daughter,
so they raised me like one.
So I thought I was a
girl until I was seven.
I had to go to the
women's public bath, too.
The older I got,
I thought my penis would
get smaller and disappear.
But it was the opposite.
First Half
- He hasn't changed at all.
- No, I'm a real man now.
Hey, asshole.
Think clerical work in
the army makes you a man?
Give me a break, asshole.
My job was tougher
than you could imagine.
Hey, I worked near the DMZ.
Who are you kidding?
Hold it.
Anyway, welcome back home.
She's just my type.
When I see my type,
I can't help it.
I need to hit on her.
Who's interrupting me?
Hello? Who is this?
- Your mother, you bastard.
- Oh, mom...
Why aren't you at your aunt's house?
I'm leaving soon.
Keep quiet! It's my mom!
Make sure you pay a visit.
It's been over a year.
That long?
You know she feels Ionely
after losing her son last year.
She says you resemble him.
She'll be so glad to see you.
Still there?
We don't look alike.
Plus, I hate when she rubs
my face and kisses me.
- What?
- Uncle does, too.
She'll introduce you to a girl.
Hey!
I know the type she likes.
Tell her no thanks.
I want to meet a girl like the
ones in romantic comic books.
But on that day...
She's my type, but I don't like her.
Why?
Drunk girls disgust me.
Hey, get up!
Offer your seat to the elderly!
Go!
Hey.
Don't wear pink.
Honey...
I don't know her.
Come here!
I don't know her.
Your girlfriend is drunk.
I'm not...
Think I'm stupid?
Come here!
Are you laughing?
Why didn't you look after her?
Hurry and do something!
What are you doing?
I'm sorry.
Let me help with cleaning expenses.
Forget it.
Just take care of her.
Nothing's there when you need it.
Where did all those motels go?
I hate being with a drunk girl.
Carrying her on my back is worse.
Wow, your honey's wasted.
No, it's not my fault.
Of course, it is.
I know everything.
You see, we're engaged.
Western or Korean style?
Give me any room.
Room 405.
None on the first floor?
Fourth floor!
You forgot to check in.
It's 40,000 won, kid.
What? 40,000 won?
Why?
Find another place then.
Count it.
Shindang-dong, Joong-gu...
Seoul
Why do you keep reading this?
Oh, please...
A thousand won left!
Hello?
This phone's owner?
She's sleeping beside me.
What?
Here?
The Eok Soo Motel
near Bu-pyung station.
Better wash and leave fast.
Hands in the air!
What are you doing?
Hands in the air!
No, I'm not Sir.
I told you, I'm innocent.
Talk about it later and get in.
Oh, damn! I'm gonna die mad!
Come over here. Come on!
Please forgive me just this once.
Please forgive me. I can't get in.
How are you?
Please save my life!
Hi! How are you?
Please...
What's your name?
Answer now!
Gyun-woo, Gyun-woo
What brought you here?
I'm innocent.
I'm telling the truth, sir!
So you're an innocent and
we're fucking guilty, huh?
No, I don't mean that!
That's exactly what you said.
I'm gonna put it right.
I'm sorry.
You raped a girl, huh?
Nope! No!
Come on! Shoot now,
you little creep!
You wanna cut your finger
or talk now?
Be quick, he told you,
you little bastard
You turn against him, or what?
All of you.
Eat one a piece, okay?
Yes, boss.
What are you looking at?
Look away.
Gyun-woo! You're out!
Take care you guys!
Bye.
And remember to keep in touch.
Don't just pass by us next time,
all right?
Of course. See you.
Hey! You come over here.
Didn't I say eat one a piece!
Did you go to Bu-pyung?
Yes, I did.
Come here!
Where did you sleep?
Your aunt said you didn't come!
What happen to your sweater?
I'm such a poor guy.
All this cause of a drunk girl.
I wanna die.
You asked if I went to Bu-pyung!
I did, but not to see auntie!
What?
Come here!
Wait till he comes back.
Know me now, right?
I'm a typical student.
An engineering major.
Study?
I'm smart, but I never study.
My parents can prove that.
You're smart like me,
but studying is your problem.
Since you inherited
your brain from me,
you'll get good grades
if you study harder, idiot.
Up four points in three years.
Call this a report card?
Since you inherited your
brain from your mom,
you'll get good grades
if you study harder.
If you raise kids,
never tell them they're smart.
They'll never study.
My goals?
Haven't thought about it yet.
You know now?
You got it.
I'm a hopeless student.
Hello?
Who are you, asshole?
What? Who's calling?
Why were you naked
in a motel with me?
Come out!
To Bu-pyung station now!
How could she do this?
I went to jail and got beaten
with a vacuum for her.
Excuse me.
Is it you?
Yes?
Follow me.
Get over here.
What do you wanna eat?
Cherry jubilee...
Mango tango or Shooting stars...
Jamonka almond's good, too.
I'll just have a Love me.
Hey, wanna die?
Drink coffee.
Two coffees.
You pay for it.
Tell me.
What happened last night?
Well, it's...
You were drunk, so...
Don't stumble, and speak clearly!
You see.
You were drunk and staggering
at the subway station.
I saved you from the train.
I thought maybe
this girl was a snake.
Pretending to be
drunk and vomiting
to use the guy in
a state of confusion.
- So I called you honey?
- That's right.
I kind of remember that.
You showered to wash
off vomit and sweat,
and the police came?
That's right.
Would you believe that, too?
To a girl like this, you need
to show her who's the boss.
So I did that, right?
Yes.
- Sorry, it's late.
- Yeah...
When she's not drunk,
she's just my type.
You look prettier and
livelier than yesterday.
Are you mocking me?
No, I'm not.
Then are you hitting on me?
I don't wanna date you.
We're not destined for each other.
Throw the trash away.
Damn it.
I think she's a heavy drinker.
You order.
Kimchi soup and soju, please.
Eat golbangee.
Then you should order.
Stop pouting!
Golbangee, please.
Let's go somewhere fun later.
I know what that means.
You kids are prostituting, huh?
Why'd you order golbangee?
Eat something else!
What's it to you?
Mind your own business.
We're just having a drink
with some friends.
What's wrong?
You take friends to a motel?
How old are you kids?
Old enough to drink.
Mind your own business.
Think I'm doing this
cause you're drinking?
Show me your ID.
You, too.
What's with you?
Show it, now.
This sucks.
She's a vicious chick.
No mater how pretty she is,
I'm too embarrassed
to be with her.
Who are you to butt
in other people's business?
- Don't you have a daughter?
- I don't.
Bear me one.
Who the hell do you think you are?
- How dare you?
- Come on, let's fight!
- Come on!
- I'll show you.
Don't live like that!
Catch the girls.
Have a drink and calm down.
Seeing a girl cry
makes me sad for some reason.
She's more attractive
the closer I look at her.
Did you blow your nose on this?
No.
Please stop crying.
Also...
The handkerchief is mine.
To be honest,
I broke up with my
boyfriend yesterday.
Excuse me.
Wake up.
Come on, wake up.
Your fiancee's wasted again?
What now?
Sign you in like before, right?
Yes.
But mister, have any
medicine for alcohol?
No, you buy it.
Where did you go, Honey?
What! What is it?
I saw her lips.
Her white neck.
And...
I saw her breast, too.
While watching her
sleep like a baby,
it may be forward,
but this occurred to me.
I want to heal her sorrow.
Give me some water.
Hey.
Why am I here?
You see.
I'm sorry,
but I saw your ID,
and you're twenty-four.
If you talk down
on me again...
So what are you gonna do?
Just that...
- Give me the towel.
- Okay.
You see, I'm a year older.
- Then talk like friends.
- Yeah?
Toothbrush.
Toothpaste?
In the bathroom.
Our relationship is so peculiar.
We met only three days ago,
and slept twice in a motel.
That's how our relationship began.
Lee Hyung-chul.
Here.
Jeon Mi-young.
Here.
Kang Man-kyu.
Here.
Gyun-woo.
Is he absent?
No, no!
I'm here!
Then answer right away.
Lee Jung-min.
Here.
Koo Sul-soo.
Yes, I'm here.
Professor.
How about a break?
You're right.
Let's take a break.
Let's go.
Go where?
Class isn't over yet.
Don't be a coward.
He called roll, right?
Let's go.
I can't.
I can't miss this class.
Kill me instead.
All right.
Who is she? She's pretty.
Pretty?
Doesn't matter.
A girl needs to act pretty.
- But she's still pretty.
- Nice body, too.
Who's Gyun-woo?
It's me, sir.
I won't mark you absent
so you can leave.
Pardon me?
I said leave.
Why?
Wasn't that girl your girlfriend?
So go see her.
Thank you, sir.
Oh, Gyun-woo.
If you can, raise it with her.
It worked.
What did you tell him?
That I'm getting an abortion,
and you're the father.
What?
No!
Professor, it's not true!
She wanted to be a scriptwriter,
so she kept writing stories.
She called them treatments.
To get me into the mood,
she took me to the park to read them.
Reading her synopsis
was stressful.
If I miss anything, I'm dead.
Wanna die?
Finish reading it.
I will.
Mister!
How could you throw the butt here?
Pick it up!
And why did you wear that color?
Then what about you?
Don't wear the same color as mine!
The heroine is tough,
like the 'terminator.'
The year is 2137.
Villains kidnap her lover
and travels to the present.
I don't know why.
To save her lover,
she travels in a time
machine to the present.
They have to kiss in the end.
This isn't a melodrama.
It's an action movie.
You don't know movies.
Koreans like melodramas.
Why?
Know what novel touched us
when we were teenagers?
"Shower" by Hwang Soon-won.
It shaped our people's
sensibility in their teens.
Koreans like sad movies
all because of "Shower."
"Shower?"
What's sad about it?
It's sad when she asked
to be buried in the clothes
reminiscent of her love.
I couldn't sleep
for three weeks.
The ending sucks.
Gotta change it.
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
It's sad.
Her family couldn't afford
to pay for her medicine.
Their family line is broken up now.
But you know, she must've
been an extraordinary girl.
- Why?
- This was her last request.
"When I die, please bury
me with my loving friend."
What?
To bury him alive, even.
Oh, my gosh.
What?
- What's the matter?
- What's wrong?
This is wrong!
This is wrong!
This is wrong!
No!
Don't!
Bury him!
They bury him alive.
Isn't it sad?
I must be hurt still.
I think I'll never get over him.
How deep could it be?
I don't know.
Gyun-woo.
Go in the water.
I wanna know how deep it is.
Come on.
Help me!
Wow, it's deep.
I can't swim!
It's deep.
My mind was getting blurry.
At that moment...
Heard you got a girlfriend.
Introduce me.
- Really?
- I'm serious.
Is she pretty?
Have you kissed her?
Girlfriend?
Gonna introduce me or not?
She really pretty?
What are you looking at?
See that girl over there?
She's my girlfriend from today.
Got it?
Excuse me.
Hey, baby.
Hey, baby.
Are you free?
Gyun-woo?
What?
Baby?
Hey!
Come here.
How could a coincidence
like this happen?
Hello?
You call a wrong number or
the dial is not in service
Please call again.
You call a wrong number or
the dial is not in service
Please call again.
Let's drink.
Drink till we die.
- 1 hours ago
- It's me. Where are you?
What are you doing?
Meeting you friends?
Can't I join, can I?
Why not? I wanna see your friends!
Hey! Now, you're dead.
Excuse me...
You've forgotten your things.
Oh! It's kind of you, thanks.
Do you want me to hold it for you?
- Oh no.
- That's alright.
I'll help you, ma'am.
- Thank you.
- No problem.
Watch your steps.
Hey! Money!
Damn it!
Since I'm drunk,
I decided to take revenge on her.
If I'm out cold
at Bu-pyung station,
then she'll have to
carry me on her back.
Hey, kid.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Where am I?
I'm at Inchon station.
Be here in 30 minutes.
Wake up.
Get up, idiot.
Go away, buttbrain.
Talking back?
Get up, bastard!
Oh, hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Oh, hello.
What?
Go away, buttbrain?
You got a bad mouth.
I'll set you straight
the gangster's way.
On your head.
Get up.
Sit down.
Get up.
Sit down.
Roll right.
Roll left.
Do it right.
Keep going.
What's going on there?
Stop fooling around.
Hey!
You low-life thieves.
Keep quiet.
What officer?
Low-life thieves?
Damn it.
Hey.
Want some of this?
- No thanks.
- Try it. It's delicious.
No.
Hey, boy.
Pay attention to your elders.
Eat it, buttbrain.
I told you no.
How many times did I tell you?
Am I your toy?
Leave me alone you petty thieves!
Stop toying with me, you jerks!
It's humiliating!
Good morning.
Keep quiet!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Do that again, and you're dead.
What? Are you free, baby?
Your English is good, too.
Better behave!
Taste good?
It's so delicious.
You're very happy to see me,
aren't you?
Be good to me...
and you'll always be
with good luck.
If I sleep out, mom beats me
with whatever's in her hand.
If she's sweeping,
it's a broom stick
If she's cleaning, it's a vacuum.
When I'm lucky, it's a
cucumber or eggplant.
So I have to come
at the right time.
You're studying now?
Yes, I'm searching the Internet.
- Go to bed now.
- You too, dad.
- All right. Good night.
- Good night.
Ok! I'm gonna have a sleep too.
You're not looking
at dirty pictures, right?
Of course not, dad.
You don't trust me?
Yes, I do.
Time for bed.
- Go to sleep.
- Good night, dad.
Hi, Gyun-woo.
My birthday's in two days.
You're dead if you forget.
Got it?
Since I like you so much,
better make me smile like this.
Got it?
I got it.
Her birthday.
If I prepare nothing,
she may murder me.
I have a good idea.
Before going to the service,
I worked in a theme park.
So this is my plan.
At midnight,
I'll be alone with
her in the park.
It'll be completely
dark all around us.
One by one, the lights to
the merry-go-round flick on.
I raise my arms up there,
and her birthday song starts.
Then all the lights
turn on and it moves.
There's fireworks, too.
Isn't it fantastic?
She'll be thrilled.
I gave 200,000 won to
my friends working there.
Jump over here?
Yeah.
We have to.
I always wanted to
come here at night.
It's my birthday, not yours.
Please, let's just try.
I'll go up first and help you.
Hey.
There's a step here.
Take my hand.
Gyun-woo.
Hey.
Answer me.
I'm leaving.
Bye.
Answer me.
Gyun-woo.
Gyun-woo.
You're dead.
Wait till I catch you.
Wanna die?
Why didn't you answer?
Wanna die?
Follow me.
Hurry and get in.
Shut up.
Go in fast.
Move it.
Sit here.
If you're loud, I'll kill you
Got it?
Yes.
Answer quietly.
Yes.
Is that a real gun?
Wanna see?
Forget it.
How are you two related?
We're just friends.
Really? You mean she could be
my pussy?
What? Your pussy?
I'm not a cat or anything!
Good ahead and apologize!
Alright. I'll do it.
I'm sorry.
Friends come here late at night?
Why are you here?
We just wanted to
come here at night.
Tell me the truth, idiot.
Nothing special.
Bullshit.
What makes you
trust a guy like him?
I trusted myself.
I had a girlfriend, too.
She visited me every
week for one year.
I was so happy.
But that bitch fell in love with
the guard house sergeant.
I found out after
he was discharged.
Damn it.
While I'm in the service,
even my dog
ran away with some mutt, too.
My Yorkshire terrier.
Bitch.
Fuck.
I came out to kill both bitches.
Fuck.
I have the worst
luck in this world.
Damn it.
Know what today is?
Huh?
Huh, damn it?
This sucks!
Hey.
What are the odds to meet
a runaway soldier in a park?
Don't know.
Heard your head blows up
if you shoot in the mouth.
Yeah, the hole in
your head is this big.
That's serious.
A teeny bullet does that?
Yeah, the bullet tears the...
Hey!
What are you two doing?
Stop joking around.
Damn it.
Damn it!
Even you bastards ignore me.
That's why don't be foolish.
Why am I foolish?
Even if you do this,
she won't come back.
I know.
I know, too.
But if I die,
she'll be heartbroken.
She'll never be the same.
You're wrong.
The pain goes away
sooner than you think.
You experienced it?
Yeah.
It happens that way.
Damn it.
If I'm caught,
I'll go to the can.
I'll always think of her there.
What does "can" mean?
It means prison.
- Don't interrupt.
- Sorry.
Anyway, you're responsible
for your actions now.
Excuse me, sir.
How about letting her go?
If I say no?
Then...
...let me go, instead.
Come to think of it,
your eyebrows remind
me of that sergeant.
You act like him, too.
Hey, lady.
You can go.
And you...
We die together.
Got it?
Pardon?
Forget about this bastard,
and look for a nice guy.
Got it?
Leave.
Let's go together.
All three of us.
Will you leave if I kill him?
Gyun-woo.
Don't worry too much.
This soldier isn't a bad guy.
You'll come out safely.
You're leaving me alone?
There's no other way.
I was afraid to die alone,
but I'm glad we're in it together.
Oh, right.
Over there,
there's an exit near
the merry-go-round.
Nobody knows about it.
I used to work here.
Really?
You're not tricking me, right?
I'm a man, too.
Why would I?
Walk in front of me.
See? I told you so.
Shit.
What's going on?
It's Gyun-woo.
Screw you!
Don't come closer!
I'll kill him!
I'll really kill him!
Tell that bitch to come!
So she can see me die!
I'll give you an hour!
If not, I'll kill him,
and myself, too!
- Got it?
- Hurry up!
The hostage is in danger,
but we can still fire.
Don't!
Wait!
Don't shoot!
Hey, soldier!
I mean sir!
Your girlfriend changed
her mind, right?
Did you really love her?
Ask yourself.
I think you didn't.
If you really love her,
you should let her go.
If not, then it's not love.
What's wrong with someone
you don't love getting married?
Stop this,
and go back to
base as a real man.
A person like you
should learn more about love.
If we want to learn,
then we should keep living.
Damn it.
She's the nicest girl I've met.
Hey!
Don't let her go.
Got it?
If you do, I'll take her.
Can I go?
Go.
Screw it.
Thank you.
Today's my birthday.
I'll live on until I
learn what love is.
What?
We're just friends?
No, I said that to save you.
Let me go, instead?
Wanted to save yourself, huh?
He wouldn't have let you go.
Stop lying!
Have a nice life alone.
I screwed up her birthday,
but I feel good anyway.
Cause I'm proud to be with her,
and things turned out as planned.
I hope you believe in me.
You can't?
Wait...
Second Half
I remember.
She always came
with him until last year.
Was it last spring or winter?
One day, she came alone
with flowers to ask a favor.
To not let anyone
sit in his seat that day.
What's up?
Oh, hi.
You're early.
I was in the neighborhood.
Miss me?
Of course!
She always tried
hard to look cheery.
- I like her that way.
- What would you like?
Coke, please.
Wanna die?
Drink coffee.
Two coffees, please.
I know her.
She pretends to be happy,
but she's full of sorrow inside.
What are you doing?
What are you smiling at?
No.
It's nothing.
Looks fun, huh?
- Another one?
- Why?
Don't wanna read it?
She may get disappointed,
but I should be
honest for her sake.
Looks fun.
I'll read it.
This time it's
a martial arts film.
The heroine is a bounty hunter.
The villain wears rain
slippers even on clear days.
The worst of his kind.
His name's Gyun-woo?
Gyun-woo?
The story's setting is a mess.
Japan invades during
King Sejong's reign,
and the king's father
is the tyrant Yeonsan.
In the end, the heroine
fights the villain in a field.
Heavy rain pours
down on a sunny day.
The heroine becomes a king.
King Jung-jo.
She's from the future, of course.
It's fun, huh?
Why is the heroine
always from the future?
Science is advanced then,
so they invent a time machine.
And people go to
the past to travel.
People from the future
could be here now.
I think UFOs are time machines.
Someday, I'll meet
someone from the future.
I have to.
If you do,
ask him to take you.
What?
If it's possible...
Give this to Shin Cine.
Tell them to cast
Han Suk-gyu and Shim Eun-ha.
Jeon Do-youn is okay, too.
Hello.
We talked on the phone, right?
It's going to be a hit.
Shin Cine didn't call back.
Hey!
Hey, kid.
Is the subway your sketch book?
Don't scribble on it.
Wanna die?
My lipstick!
I always take her home,
even to Bu-pyung station.
It's something a man must do.
On the way, we play fun games, too.
Left foot over the line, I win.
With the right foot, you win.
What's the prize?
Let's see...
How about a kiss?
A kiss?
Wanna die?
You choose.
Hitting each other.
Again?
You can hit me, too.
Okay.
Someone's coming.
I think this is unfair.
I'm a girl,
so I'll slap the cheek.
No.
Then I'll change it, too.
But I'm a girl.
Men and women are equal.
Okay, then.
You slap, and I slap, too.
Go easy on me, and I'll kill you.
Better slap me on the cheek.
If you don't, I'll kill you!
All right.
You slap, and I'll use my finger.
Right, that's fair.
Saw that?
See that guy step over
with his left foot?
I had my eyes closed.
Plus he came the opposite way.
I thought it was this way.
Shut up. Here they come.
Left foot. Left foot.
It'll be the right foot.
Switch to the right.
You have to hit me?
You know why the sky is blue?
'Cause the reflection of
the sunshine.
Nope. It's for me!
I want it to be blue.
So, it's blue.
You know why the fire is hot?
It's all for me.
I want it to be hot. So it's.
You know why we have four
seasons here in Korea.
- Because of you.
- That's correct.
And why you were born here?
- It's for me as well.
- What?
That's nonsense.
I was born before you.
You know the word of
'worship'?
'Peter came first in order to
prepare for the birth of Jesus'
Well... Yeah! I know.
So, get ready!
Come here.
Stay still.
When I'm with her,
I never know how
the day will turn out.
What?
What are you looking at?
I quit!
Is your face a racket?
Why does the ball
always hit my face?
It's strange.
I never want to lose a game.
So I play until I win.
Wait long?
Just a teeny bit.
My mom bought me these heels,
but they're killing my feet.
Want a massage?
No, it's okay.
Instead, let's exchange shoes.
Don't wanna?
How can a guy wear heels?
It'll fit.
But, I can't...
Yeah?
I see.
Come on.
I'll buy you some sneakers.
Forget it.
Then wear mine,
and I'll carry yours.
You don't understand women.
Okay!
Let's exchange.
Really?
Wanna know a secret?
What is it?
I don't wear panties on exam day.
But I had one today.
Catch me, honey!
Hey.
If you don't, I'll kill you.
Stop right there!
Stop!
It was just a second,
but I felt something in her eyes.
That's my house.
Wait, I'll bring you an umbrella.
I'm okay.
I'm already wet so I'll just leave.
Are you my daughter's boyfriend?
Yes, sir.
How much do you know
about my daughter?
Not much...
Next time,
don't stay out this late.
You don't understand me.
Why'd you stand him up?
What's wrong with him?
Why do you stand guys up?
And what happened to your heels?
What's wrong with you?
I told you not to meet Gyun-woo.
He's dumb and has no future.
It's none of your business.
Why is he stupid?
You're stupid so you don't know.
What has gotten in to you?
Let me live my own life!
Afterwards, I didn't hear
from her for a long time.
- Hello?
- Gyun-woo, it's me.
Her voice was bright,
like nothing happened.
Our 100th day celebration is soon.
It's 100 days already?
When do you think
a girl's the prettiest?
When a sexy woman is naked.
Where are you now?
Stay right there.
No, I'm just kidding.
The prettiest is when
she's playing the piano.
What's your favorite song?
That George Winston song.
Pachelbel Canon?
Yeah, that song.
You're not gonna ask me?
When is the guy the prettiest?
Just give me a rose.
Still have your high school uniform?
Yeah. Why?
Bring it on our 100th day,
and give me a rose during my class.
Do it yourself, okay?
What? What did you say?
How can I during class?
Hey!
She hung up on me!
Damn it!
I don't wanna get beaten by her,
or get humiliated
at a women's college.
Oh my God! A burglar!
Help, a burglar!
Are you crazy? You're gonna
break into where?
What on earth are you doing
in broad daylight?
And you...
why didn't you drop by aunt's coming
and going Bupyung for the girl.
You never know how much hard time
I went through for you.
She even intends to introduce
a girl to you.
Where are you going?
I'm cleverer than I look.
These girls sure love Chinese food.
Hey, you!
Where you headed?
Come here!
I'm delivering Chinese food.
I ordered it.
Bring it here.
Really?
Bring a lot of radish?
Oh, I forgot it.
Give me the food first!
That's the wrong way!
There's another customer.
Hey!
But that wasn't enough for her.
We relived our old high school days.
Drink! Drink till die!
I've never had anything like this!
Sorry, I'm gonna drink in it my way.
Feeling so good!
Have a smoke, too!
Oh! I've never had a smoke either.
Gonna be a big deal,
I don't smoke well...
What are we supposed to do if
caught by teacher.
It's a suspension!
You've already had your ups and
downs in life.
Go ahead and smoke!
Hey, you are such a tough cookie!
You go to ver good school!
Not to worry.
This clothes is so tight.
After we visited that club,
a school uniform party
was held every month.
But she got wasted again.
Oh, wild teens!
Here's a condom.
Let's prevent AIDS.
Taxi!
She's having a happy dream.
She looks so different
compared to when I looked at
her in the motel the first time.
Could her pain be cured now?
Maybe it means that she
doesn't need me anymore.
Excuse me.
Can you drive slowly?
Here.
Have any plans after graduation?
Actually, I've never
thought about it yet.
Can I see what's in your pocket?
Sir?
Right.
It's a condom.
What is this for?
Oh, right.
I learned that it prevents AIDS.
But I haven't used it yet.
- Actually, on the way here.
- Forget it.
"Chicks' Hen"?
What does this mean?
Oh, right.
It's a chicken soup restaurant.
We'll satisfy all your wishes?
I think it's to satisfy our tastes.
Hurry and tell him.
How do you feel about our daughter?
Oh, right.
We're just friends now.
Please don't worry.
If we get closer,
I'll let you know, sir.
Don't see her any more.
After that day,
she never called me.
It was sudden,
but that's how we broke up.
We're broken up.
Now, I'm free.
It's me.
Come to the cafe
by seven o'clock.
Why?
What?
I have a blind date today.
Come in 45 minutes.
I have a blind date, too.
Are you on your way?
I'm on a date with a girl.
Hurry up.
I have to go to the bathroom.
Gotta go to the bathroom.
Hi.
I'm Cha Seok-won.
Nice to meet you.
Same here.
Have a seat.
Were you really with a girl?
No, I was with a guy.
Can I take your order?
Coffee, please.
You can drink coke.
I'll drink coffee.
- Gyun-woo.
- Yes?
You're very lucky.
I heard a lot about you.
That you're close friends.
Friends?
I have to go to the bathroom.
How is he?
No idea... but he looks nice
He is not the man you broke up with,
is he?
How do you know?
When you see a new man...
forget about the past, all right?
How the hell do you know?
This necklace is given from your
ex-boyfriend, isn't it?
You wouldn't wear it if you
just broke up for nothing.
Considering your temper... and you
used to tell that you couldn't
get over him.
Does that mean he isn't here anymore
in this world?
That man is the one my mom
introduced me to meet.
She kept pushing me to meet him...
Doesn't look bad guy, does he?
Yes.
Hey, listen!
I'm totally OK, but you should be
obedient to man.
Man likes something more feminine.
And... don't drink a lot.
Some of guys aim at the girl intoxicated.
And it's all right with me,
but to the other guy
try to surrender for just once.
Not try to win. Good luck to you.
Where's Gyun-woo?
He left already.
He told me to follow ten rules.
I have a good memory.
I'll recite them.
First,
don't ask her to be feminine.
Second,
don't let her drink
over three glasses.
She'll beat someone.
At a cafe,
drink coffee instead
of coke or juice.
If she hits you,
act like it hurts.
If it hurts,
act like it doesn't.
On your 100th day together,
give her a rose during her class.
She'll like it a lot.
Make sure you learn
fencing and squash.
Also, be prepared to
go to prison sometimes.
If she says she'll kill you,
don't take it lightly.
You'll feel better.
If her feet hurts,
exchange shoes with her.
Finally,
she likes to write.
Encourage her.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please pay attention to here...
Gyun-woo.
Step backward on the yellow line...
Gyun-woo.
...after passenger's getting off,
take in order...
Gyun-woo.
...please use the next train.
What's his name?
Gyun-woo.
I'll do it myself.
Gyun-woo.
Where are you?
I looked all over for you.
Gyun-woo.
Come to the escalator.
Okay?
You're dead if you don't.
Hurry up.
Who told you to hug me?
Dummy.
You're supposed to dodge.
Sometimes I feel like I know
her and sometimes I don't.
We're definitely standing
at the crossroad now.
What's going on between us?
Can this relationship
last forever?
Who is it?
It's me, dad.
She told me to write
a letter and bring it.
To write it on paper.
To express my feelings,
I tried hard to find
the right words.
When I first met her,
I wanted to cure her grief,
but now I can't give her up.
I wish we can get serious.
I'm writing about
these feelings.
She's probably
writing about me now.
This is how we're
preparing to split up.
Gyun-woo.
See that mountain top?
Yeah.
Could someone hear me from there?
Probably.
No.
Probably not.
Then go over there.
I'll shout here.
If you hear me, answer me.
You want me to go over there?
Yeah.
Gyun-woo!
Can you hear me?
Gyun-woo!
I'm sorry.
I really can't help it.
Gyun-woo.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I can't help it.
I thought I was different,
but I'm just a helpless girl.
Gyun-woo.
I'm sorry.
Did you bring your letter?
Yeah.
What's that?
A time capsule.
We put our letters
in it and bury it here.
And two years later,
let's meet here again.
We'll read the letters that day,
and maybe we can
find an answer then.
This was her way
of saying good-bye,
and I kept repeating in my
mind that two years isn't long.
We open this exactly two
years later, at two o'clock.
Okay?
We can meet two years later.
When we meet then,
we'll be different
from what we are now.
We may become closer,
or stay forever apart.
We can only choose one.
Gyun-woo.
You go first.
Let's separate here.
Let's go together.
No, I'll take the next train.
I think that's better.
See you two years later!
Okay, in two years!
Two years!
Bye!
Gyun-woo!
That's how we broke up.
Overtime
I couldn't endure the
Ioneliness after we broke up.
Thinking of those memories,
I started to write about
our stories on the Internet.
Then I made up my mind.
If I meet her again,
I'll show her a different me.
Got to make use of my time.
For her and my future's sake.
Why does the ball
keep hitting my face?
I wrote our stories on
the Internet everyday,
and I kept myself
busy for two years.
Excuse me.
I wrote "My Sassy Girl."
Shin Cine saw my writing,
and offered to make
a movie out of it.
I made her dream come true instead.
I wanted to tell her right away,
but I can only wait till that day.
She didn't come.
It's our only day to meet.
No one knows when she will come.
How did it get in there?
It's a mystery.
Gyun-woo.
Hi, Gyun-woo.
I was so happy while being with you.
I'm not sure if you knew,
but the person I loved
passed away.
The day when I first met you
was the day he died a year ago.
Actually, I tried to
look for him in you.
I know it was wrong.
I'm sorry.
I also met him on the subway.
I was really sick at that time.
He did everything I wanted.
Like you did.
Under this tree,
we planned our future together.
But he suddenly passed away.
While I was dating you,
I met his mother often.
She wanted to introduce
a nice man to me,
but I couldn't.
The day I first met you,
I came under this tree,
and I prayed to him.
To let me free.
When I met you,
this occurred to me.
That maybe he
introduced you to me.
But the more I met you,
he seemed to grow
jealous of you in me.
The more I liked you,
I felt guilty inside.
While the two of us are apart,
I want to forget him alone.
After that day,
I went often to this place.
If I'm not with you
after two years,
it means I still lack courage.
How much will we
change after two years?
I feel like you
live in the future,
and I live in the past.
I want to meet you soon,
so I can read your letter.
Why are you staring at me, sir?
Because you're so pretty.
I thought an angel came down.
Do you come here often?
Sometimes.
This tree has a secret.
I have a secret here, too.
Really?
Three years ago,
I buried a letter here
with my boyfriend
What's your secret?
So what happened?
We promised to read
the letters a year ago.
But I couldn't come.
I guess you're a year late.
But two years didn't seem that long.
I haven't made any decision yet.
I just wasted my time
on stupid thoughts.
Like what?
If we were destined to meet,
I thought we'd meet
by chance somewhere.
Know what fate is?
Building a bridge of chance
for someone you love.
To be honest,
I read your letters.
I said this tree
had a secret, right?
Yes.
Look closely.
Does this tree look
the same as before?
Well, it looks like
it changed a bit.
But I'm not sure.
People are dead or alive.
There's a dead tree
and a living tree, too.
This tree was struck dead
by lightning last year.
It was split into two.
But this young man
felt sorry for it.
During this spring,
he planted another tree
that looked the same.
When he planted the tree,
he asked me if it look the same.
He said that someone
would be sad if it died,
so no one should know.
Gyun-woo...
You call a wrong number or
the dial is not in service.
Please call again.
Hi.
It's been a while.
You've gotten prettier.
You still look young.
How have you been?
You were in England?
Yes.
For one and a half years.
So I can forget him.
I see.
Feel better?
Yes.
A lot better.
Is it true now?
My son might be sad.
He won't.
He'll like it this way.
Good, I really hoped you would.
Auntie!
I was getting my photo taken.
You naughty boy.
Know how long it's been?
Sorry I didn't tell you before.
This is Gyun-woo.
Doesn't he resemble him?
When you had a hard time,
I tried to introduce you
to him for several years,
but he kept getting out of it.
Heard you came to Bu-pyung often,
but you never visited me?
Go out with him.
I thought he'd make
things easy for you.
Oh, yeah.
Gyun-woo, you're going
to England, right?
She's already been there,
so she can give you some tips.
I don't have to go now.
Why?
You two know each other?
You may not believe it,
but I think I met
a man from the future.
From your future.
This is how I met her again.
Think it's too coincidental?
It's building a bridge
of chance for your love.

MY SASSY GIRL
Exactly two years ago today,
she and I buried
a time capsule here.
We promised to meet
here two years later,
but she hasn't come yet.
I'm going to wait.
Here we go.
Please don't move.
- One, two...
- Wait a minute.
Hello?
Oh, auntie.
Sorry, I'm on my way.
I'm really sorry.
Yes, I'm coming.
I'm having my photo taken.
Bye.
Are you ready?
Here we go.
One, two...
My parents wanted a daughter,
so they raised me like one.
So I thought I was a
girl until I was seven.
I had to go to the
women's public bath, too.
The older I got,
I thought my penis would
get smaller and disappear.
But it was the opposite.
First Half
- He hasn't changed at all.
- No, I'm a real man now.
Hey, asshole.
Think clerical work in
the army makes you a man?
Give me a break, asshole.
My job was tougher
than you could imagine.
Hey, I worked near the DMZ.
Who are you kidding?
Hold it.
Anyway, welcome back home.
She's just my type.
When I see my type,
I can't help it.
I need to hit on her.
Who's interrupting me?
Hello? Who is this?
- Your mother, you bastard.
- Oh, mom...
Why aren't you at your aunt's house?
I'm leaving soon.
Keep quiet! It's my mom!
Make sure you pay a visit.
It's been over a year.
That long?
You know she feels Ionely
after losing her son last year.
She says you resemble him.
She'll be so glad to see you.
Still there?
We don't look alike.
Plus, I hate when she rubs
my face and kisses me.
- What?
- Uncle does, too.
She'll introduce you to a girl.
Hey!
I know the type she likes.
Tell her no thanks.
I want to meet a girl like the
ones in romantic comic books.
But on that day...
She's my type, but I don't like her.
Why?
Drunk girls disgust me.
Hey, get up!
Offer your seat to the elderly!
Go!
Hey.
Don't wear pink.
Honey...
I don't know her.
Come here!
I don't know her.
Your girlfriend is drunk.
I'm not...
Think I'm stupid?
Come here!
Are you laughing?
Why didn't you look after her?
Hurry and do something!
What are you doing?
I'm sorry.
Let me help with cleaning expenses.
Forget it.
Just take care of her.
Nothing's there when you need it.
Where did all those motels go?
I hate being with a drunk girl.
Carrying her on my back is worse.
Wow, your honey's wasted.
No, it's not my fault.
Of course, it is.
I know everything.
You see, we're engaged.
Western or Korean style?
Give me any room.
Room 405.
None on the first floor?
Fourth floor!
You forgot to check in.
It's 40,000 won, kid.
What? 40,000 won?
Why?
Find another place then.
Count it.
Shindang-dong, Joong-gu...
Seoul
Why do you keep reading this?
Oh, please...
A thousand won left!
Hello?
This phone's owner?
She's sleeping beside me.
What?
Here?
The Eok Soo Motel
near Bu-pyung station.
Better wash and leave fast.
Hands in the air!
What are you doing?
Hands in the air!
No, I'm not Sir.
I told you, I'm innocent.
Talk about it later and get in.
Oh, damn! I'm gonna die mad!
Come over here. Come on!
Please forgive me just this once.
Please forgive me. I can't get in.
How are you?
Please save my life!
Hi! How are you?
Please...
What's your name?
Answer now!
Gyun-woo, Gyun-woo
What brought you here?
I'm innocent.
I'm telling the truth, sir!
So you're an innocent and
we're fucking guilty, huh?
No, I don't mean that!
That's exactly what you said.
I'm gonna put it right.
I'm sorry.
You raped a girl, huh?
Nope! No!
Come on! Shoot now,
you little creep!
You wanna cut your finger
or talk now?
Be quick, he told you,
you little bastard
You turn against him, or what?
All of you.
Eat one a piece, okay?
Yes, boss.
What are you looking at?
Look away.
Gyun-woo! You're out!
Take care you guys!
Bye.
And remember to keep in touch.
Don't just pass by us next time,
all right?
Of course. See you.
Hey! You come over here.
Didn't I say eat one a piece!
Did you go to Bu-pyung?
Yes, I did.
Come here!
Where did you sleep?
Your aunt said you didn't come!
What happen to your sweater?
I'm such a poor guy.
All this cause of a drunk girl.
I wanna die.
You asked if I went to Bu-pyung!
I did, but not to see auntie!
What?
Come here!
Wait till he comes back.
Know me now, right?
I'm a typical student.
An engineering major.
Study?
I'm smart, but I never study.
My parents can prove that.
You're smart like me,
but studying is your problem.
Since you inherited
your brain from me,
you'll get good grades
if you study harder, idiot.
Up four points in three years.
Call this a report card?
Since you inherited your
brain from your mom,
you'll get good grades
if you study harder.
If you raise kids,
never tell them they're smart.
They'll never study.
My goals?
Haven't thought about it yet.
You know now?
You got it.
I'm a hopeless student.
Hello?
Who are you, asshole?
What? Who's calling?
Why were you naked
in a motel with me?
Come out!
To Bu-pyung station now!
How could she do this?
I went to jail and got beaten
with a vacuum for her.
Excuse me.
Is it you?
Yes?
Follow me.
Get over here.
What do you wanna eat?
Cherry jubilee...
Mango tango or Shooting stars...
Jamonka almond's good, too.
I'll just have a Love me.
Hey, wanna die?
Drink coffee.
Two coffees.
You pay for it.
Tell me.
What happened last night?
Well, it's...
You were drunk, so...
Don't stumble, and speak clearly!
You see.
You were drunk and staggering
at the subway station.
I saved you from the train.
I thought maybe
this girl was a snake.
Pretending to be
drunk and vomiting
to use the guy in
a state of confusion.
- So I called you honey?
- That's right.
I kind of remember that.
You showered to wash
off vomit and sweat,
and the police came?
That's right.
Would you believe that, too?
To a girl like this, you need
to show her who's the boss.
So I did that, right?
Yes.
- Sorry, it's late.
- Yeah...
When she's not drunk,
she's just my type.
You look prettier and
livelier than yesterday.
Are you mocking me?
No, I'm not.
Then are you hitting on me?
I don't wanna date you.
We're not destined for each other.
Throw the trash away.
Damn it.
I think she's a heavy drinker.
You order.
Kimchi soup and soju, please.
Eat golbangee.
Then you should order.
Stop pouting!
Golbangee, please.
Let's go somewhere fun later.
I know what that means.
You kids are prostituting, huh?
Why'd you order golbangee?
Eat something else!
What's it to you?
Mind your own business.
We're just having a drink
with some friends.
What's wrong?
You take friends to a motel?
How old are you kids?
Old enough to drink.
Mind your own business.
Think I'm doing this
cause you're drinking?
Show me your ID.
You, too.
What's with you?
Show it, now.
This sucks.
She's a vicious chick.
No mater how pretty she is,
I'm too embarrassed
to be with her.
Who are you to butt
in other people's business?
- Don't you have a daughter?
- I don't.
Bear me one.
Who the hell do you think you are?
- How dare you?
- Come on, let's fight!
- Come on!
- I'll show you.
Don't live like that!
Catch the girls.
Have a drink and calm down.
Seeing a girl cry
makes me sad for some reason.
She's more attractive
the closer I look at her.
Did you blow your nose on this?
No.
Please stop crying.
Also...
The handkerchief is mine.
To be honest,
I broke up with my
boyfriend yesterday.
Excuse me.
Wake up.
Come on, wake up.
Your fiancee's wasted again?
What now?
Sign you in like before, right?
Yes.
But mister, have any
medicine for alcohol?
No, you buy it.
Where did you go, Honey?
What! What is it?
I saw her lips.
Her white neck.
And...
I saw her breast, too.
While watching her
sleep like a baby,
it may be forward,
but this occurred to me.
I want to heal her sorrow.
Give me some water.
Hey.
Why am I here?
You see.
I'm sorry,
but I saw your ID,
and you're twenty-four.
If you talk down
on me again...
So what are you gonna do?
Just that...
- Give me the towel.
- Okay.
You see, I'm a year older.
- Then talk like friends.
- Yeah?
Toothbrush.
Toothpaste?
In the bathroom.
Our relationship is so peculiar.
We met only three days ago,
and slept twice in a motel.
That's how our relationship began.
Lee Hyung-chul.
Here.
Jeon Mi-young.
Here.
Kang Man-kyu.
Here.
Gyun-woo.
Is he absent?
No, no!
I'm here!
Then answer right away.
Lee Jung-min.
Here.
Koo Sul-soo.
Yes, I'm here.
Professor.
How about a break?
You're right.
Let's take a break.
Let's go.
Go where?
Class isn't over yet.
Don't be a coward.
He called roll, right?
Let's go.
I can't.
I can't miss this class.
Kill me instead.
All right.
Who is she? She's pretty.
Pretty?
Doesn't matter.
A girl needs to act pretty.
- But she's still pretty.
- Nice body, too.
Who's Gyun-woo?
It's me, sir.
I won't mark you absent
so you can leave.
Pardon me?
I said leave.
Why?
Wasn't that girl your girlfriend?
So go see her.
Thank you, sir.
Oh, Gyun-woo.
If you can, raise it with her.
It worked.
What did you tell him?
That I'm getting an abortion,
and you're the father.
What?
No!
Professor, it's not true!
She wanted to be a scriptwriter,
so she kept writing stories.
She called them treatments.
To get me into the mood,
she took me to the park to read them.
Reading her synopsis
was stressful.
If I miss anything, I'm dead.
Wanna die?
Finish reading it.
I will.
Mister!
How could you throw the butt here?
Pick it up!
And why did you wear that color?
Then what about you?
Don't wear the same color as mine!
The heroine is tough,
like the 'terminator.'
The year is 2137.
Villains kidnap her lover
and travels to the present.
I don't know why.
To save her lover,
she travels in a time
machine to the present.
They have to kiss in the end.
This isn't a melodrama.
It's an action movie.
You don't know movies.
Koreans like melodramas.
Why?
Know what novel touched us
when we were teenagers?
"Shower" by Hwang Soon-won.
It shaped our people's
sensibility in their teens.
Koreans like sad movies
all because of "Shower."
"Shower?"
What's sad about it?
It's sad when she asked
to be buried in the clothes
reminiscent of her love.
I couldn't sleep
for three weeks.
The ending sucks.
Gotta change it.
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
It's sad.
Her family couldn't afford
to pay for her medicine.
Their family line is broken up now.
But you know, she must've
been an extraordinary girl.
- Why?
- This was her last request.
"When I die, please bury
me with my loving friend."
What?
To bury him alive, even.
Oh, my gosh.
What?
- What's the matter?
- What's wrong?
This is wrong!
This is wrong!
This is wrong!
No!
Don't!
Bury him!
They bury him alive.
Isn't it sad?
I must be hurt still.
I think I'll never get over him.
How deep could it be?
I don't know.
Gyun-woo.
Go in the water.
I wanna know how deep it is.
Come on.
Help me!
Wow, it's deep.
I can't swim!
It's deep.
My mind was getting blurry.
At that moment...
Heard you got a girlfriend.
Introduce me.
- Really?
- I'm serious.
Is she pretty?
Have you kissed her?
Girlfriend?
Gonna introduce me or not?
She really pretty?
What are you looking at?
See that girl over there?
She's my girlfriend from today.
Got it?
Excuse me.
Hey, baby.
Hey, baby.
Are you free?
Gyun-woo?
What?
Baby?
Hey!
Come here.
How could a coincidence
like this happen?
Hello?
You call a wrong number or
the dial is not in service
Please call again.
You call a wrong number or
the dial is not in service
Please call again.
Let's drink.
Drink till we die.
- 1 hours ago
- It's me. Where are you?
What are you doing?
Meeting you friends?
Can't I join, can I?
Why not? I wanna see your friends!
Hey! Now, you're dead.
Excuse me...
You've forgotten your things.
Oh! It's kind of you, thanks.
Do you want me to hold it for you?
- Oh no.
- That's alright.
I'll help you, ma'am.
- Thank you.
- No problem.
Watch your steps.
Hey! Money!
Damn it!
Since I'm drunk,
I decided to take revenge on her.
If I'm out cold
at Bu-pyung station,
then she'll have to
carry me on her back.
Hey, kid.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Where am I?
I'm at Inchon station.
Be here in 30 minutes.
Wake up.
Get up, idiot.
Go away, buttbrain.
Talking back?
Get up, bastard!
Oh, hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Oh, hello.
What?
Go away, buttbrain?
You got a bad mouth.
I'll set you straight
the gangster's way.
On your head.
Get up.
Sit down.
Get up.
Sit down.
Roll right.
Roll left.
Do it right.
Keep going.
What's going on there?
Stop fooling around.
Hey!
You low-life thieves.
Keep quiet.
What officer?
Low-life thieves?
Damn it.
Hey.
Want some of this?
- No thanks.
- Try it. It's delicious.
No.
Hey, boy.
Pay attention to your elders.
Eat it, buttbrain.
I told you no.
How many times did I tell you?
Am I your toy?
Leave me alone you petty thieves!
Stop toying with me, you jerks!
It's humiliating!
Good morning.
Keep quiet!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Do that again, and you're dead.
What? Are you free, baby?
Your English is good, too.
Better behave!
Taste good?
It's so delicious.
You're very happy to see me,
aren't you?
Be good to me...
and you'll always be
with good luck.
If I sleep out, mom beats me
with whatever's in her hand.
If she's sweeping,
it's a broom stick
If she's cleaning, it's a vacuum.
When I'm lucky, it's a
cucumber or eggplant.
So I have to come
at the right time.
You're studying now?
Yes, I'm searching the Internet.
- Go to bed now.
- You too, dad.
- All right. Good night.
- Good night.
Ok! I'm gonna have a sleep too.
You're not looking
at dirty pictures, right?
Of course not, dad.
You don't trust me?
Yes, I do.
Time for bed.
- Go to sleep.
- Good night, dad.
Hi, Gyun-woo.
My birthday's in two days.
You're dead if you forget.
Got it?
Since I like you so much,
better make me smile like this.
Got it?
I got it.
Her birthday.
If I prepare nothing,
she may murder me.
I have a good idea.
Before going to the service,
I worked in a theme park.
So this is my plan.
At midnight,
I'll be alone with
her in the park.
It'll be completely
dark all around us.
One by one, the lights to
the merry-go-round flick on.
I raise my arms up there,
and her birthday song starts.
Then all the lights
turn on and it moves.
There's fireworks, too.
Isn't it fantastic?
She'll be thrilled.
I gave 200,000 won to
my friends working there.
Jump over here?
Yeah.
We have to.
I always wanted to
come here at night.
It's my birthday, not yours.
Please, let's just try.
I'll go up first and help you.
Hey.
There's a step here.
Take my hand.
Gyun-woo.
Hey.
Answer me.
I'm leaving.
Bye.
Answer me.
Gyun-woo.
Gyun-woo.
You're dead.
Wait till I catch you.
Wanna die?
Why didn't you answer?
Wanna die?
Follow me.
Hurry and get in.
Shut up.
Go in fast.
Move it.
Sit here.
If you're loud, I'll kill you
Got it?
Yes.
Answer quietly.
Yes.
Is that a real gun?
Wanna see?
Forget it.
How are you two related?
We're just friends.
Really? You mean she could be
my pussy?
What? Your pussy?
I'm not a cat or anything!
Good ahead and apologize!
Alright. I'll do it.
I'm sorry.
Friends come here late at night?
Why are you here?
We just wanted to
come here at night.
Tell me the truth, idiot.
Nothing special.
Bullshit.
What makes you
trust a guy like him?
I trusted myself.
I had a girlfriend, too.
She visited me every
week for one year.
I was so happy.
But that bitch fell in love with
the guard house sergeant.
I found out after
he was discharged.
Damn it.
While I'm in the service,
even my dog
ran away with some mutt, too.
My Yorkshire terrier.
Bitch.
Fuck.
I came out to kill both bitches.
Fuck.
I have the worst
luck in this world.
Damn it.
Know what today is?
Huh?
Huh, damn it?
This sucks!
Hey.
What are the odds to meet
a runaway soldier in a park?
Don't know.
Heard your head blows up
if you shoot in the mouth.
Yeah, the hole in
your head is this big.
That's serious.
A teeny bullet does that?
Yeah, the bullet tears the...
Hey!
What are you two doing?
Stop joking around.
Damn it.
Damn it!
Even you bastards ignore me.
That's why don't be foolish.
Why am I foolish?
Even if you do this,
she won't come back.
I know.
I know, too.
But if I die,
she'll be heartbroken.
She'll never be the same.
You're wrong.
The pain goes away
sooner than you think.
You experienced it?
Yeah.
It happens that way.
Damn it.
If I'm caught,
I'll go to the can.
I'll always think of her there.
What does "can" mean?
It means prison.
- Don't interrupt.
- Sorry.
Anyway, you're responsible
for your actions now.
Excuse me, sir.
How about letting her go?
If I say no?
Then...
...let me go, instead.
Come to think of it,
your eyebrows remind
me of that sergeant.
You act like him, too.
Hey, lady.
You can go.
And you...
We die together.
Got it?
Pardon?
Forget about this bastard,
and look for a nice guy.
Got it?
Leave.
Let's go together.
All three of us.
Will you leave if I kill him?
Gyun-woo.
Don't worry too much.
This soldier isn't a bad guy.
You'll come out safely.
You're leaving me alone?
There's no other way.
I was afraid to die alone,
but I'm glad we're in it together.
Oh, right.
Over there,
there's an exit near
the merry-go-round.
Nobody knows about it.
I used to work here.
Really?
You're not tricking me, right?
I'm a man, too.
Why would I?
Walk in front of me.
See? I told you so.
Shit.
What's going on?
It's Gyun-woo.
Screw you!
Don't come closer!
I'll kill him!
I'll really kill him!
Tell that bitch to come!
So she can see me die!
I'll give you an hour!
If not, I'll kill him,
and myself, too!
- Got it?
- Hurry up!
The hostage is in danger,
but we can still fire.
Don't!
Wait!
Don't shoot!
Hey, soldier!
I mean sir!
Your girlfriend changed
her mind, right?
Did you really love her?
Ask yourself.
I think you didn't.
If you really love her,
you should let her go.
If not, then it's not love.
What's wrong with someone
you don't love getting married?
Stop this,
and go back to
base as a real man.
A person like you
should learn more about love.
If we want to learn,
then we should keep living.
Damn it.
She's the nicest girl I've met.
Hey!
Don't let her go.
Got it?
If you do, I'll take her.
Can I go?
Go.
Screw it.
Thank you.
Today's my birthday.
I'll live on until I
learn what love is.
What?
We're just friends?
No, I said that to save you.
Let me go, instead?
Wanted to save yourself, huh?
He wouldn't have let you go.
Stop lying!
Have a nice life alone.
I screwed up her birthday,
but I feel good anyway.
Cause I'm proud to be with her,
and things turned out as planned.
I hope you believe in me.
You can't?
Wait...
Second Half
I remember.
She always came
with him until last year.
Was it last spring or winter?
One day, she came alone
with flowers to ask a favor.
To not let anyone
sit in his seat that day.
What's up?
Oh, hi.
You're early.
I was in the neighborhood.
Miss me?
Of course!
She always tried
hard to look cheery.
- I like her that way.
- What would you like?
Coke, please.
Wanna die?
Drink coffee.
Two coffees, please.
I know her.
She pretends to be happy,
but she's full of sorrow inside.
What are you doing?
What are you smiling at?
No.
It's nothing.
Looks fun, huh?
- Another one?
- Why?
Don't wanna read it?
She may get disappointed,
but I should be
honest for her sake.
Looks fun.
I'll read it.
This time it's
a martial arts film.
The heroine is a bounty hunter.
The villain wears rain
slippers even on clear days.
The worst of his kind.
His name's Gyun-woo?
Gyun-woo?
The story's setting is a mess.
Japan invades during
King Sejong's reign,
and the king's father
is the tyrant Yeonsan.
In the end, the heroine
fights the villain in a field.
Heavy rain pours
down on a sunny day.
The heroine becomes a king.
King Jung-jo.
She's from the future, of course.
It's fun, huh?
Why is the heroine
always from the future?
Science is advanced then,
so they invent a time machine.
And people go to
the past to travel.
People from the future
could be here now.
I think UFOs are time machines.
Someday, I'll meet
someone from the future.
I have to.
If you do,
ask him to take you.
What?
If it's possible...
Give this to Shin Cine.
Tell them to cast
Han Suk-gyu and Shim Eun-ha.
Jeon Do-youn is okay, too.
Hello.
We talked on the phone, right?
It's going to be a hit.
Shin Cine didn't call back.
Hey!
Hey, kid.
Is the subway your sketch book?
Don't scribble on it.
Wanna die?
My lipstick!
I always take her home,
even to Bu-pyung station.
It's something a man must do.
On the way, we play fun games, too.
Left foot over the line, I win.
With the right foot, you win.
What's the prize?
Let's see...
How about a kiss?
A kiss?
Wanna die?
You choose.
Hitting each other.
Again?
You can hit me, too.
Okay.
Someone's coming.
I think this is unfair.
I'm a girl,
so I'll slap the cheek.
No.
Then I'll change it, too.
But I'm a girl.
Men and women are equal.
Okay, then.
You slap, and I slap, too.
Go easy on me, and I'll kill you.
Better slap me on the cheek.
If you don't, I'll kill you!
All right.
You slap, and I'll use my finger.
Right, that's fair.
Saw that?
See that guy step over
with his left foot?
I had my eyes closed.
Plus he came the opposite way.
I thought it was this way.
Shut up. Here they come.
Left foot. Left foot.
It'll be the right foot.
Switch to the right.
You have to hit me?
You know why the sky is blue?
'Cause the reflection of
the sunshine.
Nope. It's for me!
I want it to be blue.
So, it's blue.
You know why the fire is hot?
It's all for me.
I want it to be hot. So it's.
You know why we have four
seasons here in Korea.
- Because of you.
- That's correct.
And why you were born here?
- It's for me as well.
- What?
That's nonsense.
I was born before you.
You know the word of
'worship'?
'Peter came first in order to
prepare for the birth of Jesus'
Well... Yeah! I know.
So, get ready!
Come here.
Stay still.
When I'm with her,
I never know how
the day will turn out.
What?
What are you looking at?
I quit!
Is your face a racket?
Why does the ball
always hit my face?
It's strange.
I never want to lose a game.
So I play until I win.
Wait long?
Just a teeny bit.
My mom bought me these heels,
but they're killing my feet.
Want a massage?
No, it's okay.
Instead, let's exchange shoes.
Don't wanna?
How can a guy wear heels?
It'll fit.
But, I can't...
Yeah?
I see.
Come on.
I'll buy you some sneakers.
Forget it.
Then wear mine,
and I'll carry yours.
You don't understand women.
Okay!
Let's exchange.
Really?
Wanna know a secret?
What is it?
I don't wear panties on exam day.
But I had one today.
Catch me, honey!
Hey.
If you don't, I'll kill you.
Stop right there!
Stop!
It was just a second,
but I felt something in her eyes.
That's my house.
Wait, I'll bring you an umbrella.
I'm okay.
I'm already wet so I'll just leave.
Are you my daughter's boyfriend?
Yes, sir.
How much do you know
about my daughter?
Not much...
Next time,
don't stay out this late.
You don't understand me.
Why'd you stand him up?
What's wrong with him?
Why do you stand guys up?
And what happened to your heels?
What's wrong with you?
I told you not to meet Gyun-woo.
He's dumb and has no future.
It's none of your business.
Why is he stupid?
You're stupid so you don't know.
What has gotten in to you?
Let me live my own life!
Afterwards, I didn't hear
from her for a long time.
- Hello?
- Gyun-woo, it's me.
Her voice was bright,
like nothing happened.
Our 100th day celebration is soon.
It's 100 days already?
When do you think
a girl's the prettiest?
When a sexy woman is naked.
Where are you now?
Stay right there.
No, I'm just kidding.
The prettiest is when
she's playing the piano.
What's your favorite song?
That George Winston song.
Pachelbel Canon?
Yeah, that song.
You're not gonna ask me?
When is the guy the prettiest?
Just give me a rose.
Still have your high school uniform?
Yeah. Why?
Bring it on our 100th day,
and give me a rose during my class.
Do it yourself, okay?
What? What did you say?
How can I during class?
Hey!
She hung up on me!
Damn it!
I don't wanna get beaten by her,
or get humiliated
at a women's college.
Oh my God! A burglar!
Help, a burglar!
Are you crazy? You're gonna
break into where?
What on earth are you doing
in broad daylight?
And you...
why didn't you drop by aunt's coming
and going Bupyung for the girl.
You never know how much hard time
I went through for you.
She even intends to introduce
a girl to you.
Where are you going?
I'm cleverer than I look.
These girls sure love Chinese food.
Hey, you!
Where you headed?
Come here!
I'm delivering Chinese food.
I ordered it.
Bring it here.
Really?
Bring a lot of radish?
Oh, I forgot it.
Give me the food first!
That's the wrong way!
There's another customer.
Hey!
But that wasn't enough for her.
We relived our old high school days.
Drink! Drink till die!
I've never had anything like this!
Sorry, I'm gonna drink in it my way.
Feeling so good!
Have a smoke, too!
Oh! I've never had a smoke either.
Gonna be a big deal,
I don't smoke well...
What are we supposed to do if
caught by teacher.
It's a suspension!
You've already had your ups and
downs in life.
Go ahead and smoke!
Hey, you are such a tough cookie!
You go to ver good school!
Not to worry.
This clothes is so tight.
After we visited that club,
a school uniform party
was held every month.
But she got wasted again.
Oh, wild teens!
Here's a condom.
Let's prevent AIDS.
Taxi!
She's having a happy dream.
She looks so different
compared to when I looked at
her in the motel the first time.
Could her pain be cured now?
Maybe it means that she
doesn't need me anymore.
Excuse me.
Can you drive slowly?
Here.
Have any plans after graduation?
Actually, I've never
thought about it yet.
Can I see what's in your pocket?
Sir?
Right.
It's a condom.
What is this for?
Oh, right.
I learned that it prevents AIDS.
But I haven't used it yet.
- Actually, on the way here.
- Forget it.
"Chicks' Hen"?
What does this mean?
Oh, right.
It's a chicken soup restaurant.
We'll satisfy all your wishes?
I think it's to satisfy our tastes.
Hurry and tell him.
How do you feel about our daughter?
Oh, right.
We're just friends now.
Please don't worry.
If we get closer,
I'll let you know, sir.
Don't see her any more.
After that day,
she never called me.
It was sudden,
but that's how we broke up.
We're broken up.
Now, I'm free.
It's me.
Come to the cafe
by seven o'clock.
Why?
What?
I have a blind date today.
Come in 45 minutes.
I have a blind date, too.
Are you on your way?
I'm on a date with a girl.
Hurry up.
I have to go to the bathroom.
Gotta go to the bathroom.
Hi.
I'm Cha Seok-won.
Nice to meet you.
Same here.
Have a seat.
Were you really with a girl?
No, I was with a guy.
Can I take your order?
Coffee, please.
You can drink coke.
I'll drink coffee.
- Gyun-woo.
- Yes?
You're very lucky.
I heard a lot about you.
That you're close friends.
Friends?
I have to go to the bathroom.
How is he?
No idea... but he looks nice
He is not the man you broke up with,
is he?
How do you know?
When you see a new man...
forget about the past, all right?
How the hell do you know?
This necklace is given from your
ex-boyfriend, isn't it?
You wouldn't wear it if you
just broke up for nothing.
Considering your temper... and you
used to tell that you couldn't
get over him.
Does that mean he isn't here anymore
in this world?
That man is the one my mom
introduced me to meet.
She kept pushing me to meet him...
Doesn't look bad guy, does he?
Yes.
Hey, listen!
I'm totally OK, but you should be
obedient to man.
Man likes something more feminine.
And... don't drink a lot.
Some of guys aim at the girl intoxicated.
And it's all right with me,
but to the other guy
try to surrender for just once.
Not try to win. Good luck to you.
Where's Gyun-woo?
He left already.
He told me to follow ten rules.
I have a good memory.
I'll recite them.
First,
don't ask her to be feminine.
Second,
don't let her drink
over three glasses.
She'll beat someone.
At a cafe,
drink coffee instead
of coke or juice.
If she hits you,
act like it hurts.
If it hurts,
act like it doesn't.
On your 100th day together,
give her a rose during her class.
She'll like it a lot.
Make sure you learn
fencing and squash.
Also, be prepared to
go to prison sometimes.
If she says she'll kill you,
don't take it lightly.
You'll feel better.
If her feet hurts,
exchange shoes with her.
Finally,
she likes to write.
Encourage her.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please pay attention to here...
Gyun-woo.
Step backward on the yellow line...
Gyun-woo.
...after passenger's getting off,
take in order...
Gyun-woo.
...please use the next train.
What's his name?
Gyun-woo.
I'll do it myself.
Gyun-woo.
Where are you?
I looked all over for you.
Gyun-woo.
Come to the escalator.
Okay?
You're dead if you don't.
Hurry up.
Who told you to hug me?
Dummy.
You're supposed to dodge.
Sometimes I feel like I know
her and sometimes I don't.
We're definitely standing
at the crossroad now.
What's going on between us?
Can this relationship
last forever?
Who is it?
It's me, dad.
She told me to write
a letter and bring it.
To write it on paper.
To express my feelings,
I tried hard to find
the right words.
When I first met her,
I wanted to cure her grief,
but now I can't give her up.
I wish we can get serious.
I'm writing about
these feelings.
She's probably
writing about me now.
This is how we're
preparing to split up.
Gyun-woo.
See that mountain top?
Yeah.
Could someone hear me from there?
Probably.
No.
Probably not.
Then go over there.
I'll shout here.
If you hear me, answer me.
You want me to go over there?
Yeah.
Gyun-woo!
Can you hear me?
Gyun-woo!
I'm sorry.
I really can't help it.
Gyun-woo.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I can't help it.
I thought I was different,
but I'm just a helpless girl.
Gyun-woo.
I'm sorry.
Did you bring your letter?
Yeah.
What's that?
A time capsule.
We put our letters
in it and bury it here.
And two years later,
let's meet here again.
We'll read the letters that day,
and maybe we can
find an answer then.
This was her way
of saying good-bye,
and I kept repeating in my
mind that two years isn't long.
We open this exactly two
years later, at two o'clock.
Okay?
We can meet two years later.
When we meet then,
we'll be different
from what we are now.
We may become closer,
or stay forever apart.
We can only choose one.
Gyun-woo.
You go first.
Let's separate here.
Let's go together.
No, I'll take the next train.
I think that's better.
See you two years later!
Okay, in two years!
Two years!
Bye!
Gyun-woo!
That's how we broke up.
Overtime
I couldn't endure the
Ioneliness after we broke up.
Thinking of those memories,
I started to write about
our stories on the Internet.
Then I made up my mind.
If I meet her again,
I'll show her a different me.
Got to make use of my time.
For her and my future's sake.
Why does the ball
keep hitting my face?
I wrote our stories on
the Internet everyday,
and I kept myself
busy for two years.
Excuse me.
I wrote "My Sassy Girl."
Shin Cine saw my writing,
and offered to make
a movie out of it.
I made her dream come true instead.
I wanted to tell her right away,
but I can only wait till that day.
She didn't come.
It's our only day to meet.
No one knows when she will come.
How did it get in there?
It's a mystery.
Gyun-woo.
Hi, Gyun-woo.
I was so happy while being with you.
I'm not sure if you knew,
but the person I loved
passed away.
The day when I first met you
was the day he died a year ago.
Actually, I tried to
look for him in you.
I know it was wrong.
I'm sorry.
I also met him on the subway.
I was really sick at that time.
He did everything I wanted.
Like you did.
Under this tree,
we planned our future together.
But he suddenly passed away.
While I was dating you,
I met his mother often.
She wanted to introduce
a nice man to me,
but I couldn't.
The day I first met you,
I came under this tree,
and I prayed to him.
To let me free.
When I met you,
this occurred to me.
That maybe he
introduced you to me.
But the more I met you,
he seemed to grow
jealous of you in me.
The more I liked you,
I felt guilty inside.
While the two of us are apart,
I want to forget him alone.
After that day,
I went often to this place.
If I'm not with you
after two years,
it means I still lack courage.
How much will we
change after two years?
I feel like you
live in the future,
and I live in the past.
I want to meet you soon,
so I can read your letter.
Why are you staring at me, sir?
Because you're so pretty.
I thought an angel came down.
Do you come here often?
Sometimes.
This tree has a secret.
I have a secret here, too.
Really?
Three years ago,
I buried a letter here
with my boyfriend
What's your secret?
So what happened?
We promised to read
the letters a year ago.
But I couldn't come.
I guess you're a year late.
But two years didn't seem that long.
I haven't made any decision yet.
I just wasted my time
on stupid thoughts.
Like what?
If we were destined to meet,
I thought we'd meet
by chance somewhere.
Know what fate is?
Building a bridge of chance
for someone you love.
To be honest,
I read your letters.
I said this tree
had a secret, right?
Yes.
Look closely.
Does this tree look
the same as before?
Well, it looks like
it changed a bit.
But I'm not sure.
People are dead or alive.
There's a dead tree
and a living tree, too.
This tree was struck dead
by lightning last year.
It was split into two.
But this young man
felt sorry for it.
During this spring,
he planted another tree
that looked the same.
When he planted the tree,
he asked me if it look the same.
He said that someone
would be sad if it died,
so no one should know.
Gyun-woo...
You call a wrong number or
the dial is not in service.
Please call again.
Hi.
It's been a while.
You've gotten prettier.
You still look young.
How have you been?
You were in England?
Yes.
For one and a half years.
So I can forget him.
I see.
Feel better?
Yes.
A lot better.
Is it true now?
My son might be sad.
He won't.
He'll like it this way.
Good, I really hoped you would.
Auntie!
I was getting my photo taken.
You naughty boy.
Know how long it's been?
Sorry I didn't tell you before.
This is Gyun-woo.
Doesn't he resemble him?
When you had a hard time,
I tried to introduce you
to him for several years,
but he kept getting out of it.
Heard you came to Bu-pyung often,
but you never visited me?
Go out with him.
I thought he'd make
things easy for you.
Oh, yeah.
Gyun-woo, you're going
to England, right?
She's already been there,
so she can give you some tips.
I don't have to go now.
Why?
You two know each other?
You may not believe it,
but I think I met
a man from the future.
From your future.
This is how I met her again.
Think it's too coincidental?
It's building a bridge
of chance for your love.
