[Jun Taek Oh]
♫ Why are we headed there? ♫
♫ What are we walking for? ♫
♫ This is what I feel like ♫
♫ The city has changed before I knew it,
in this pitch-dark night ♫

[The Eighth Sense]
For God sake!
Just tell me what your worries are!
Come again.
- What are you doing? Clean this up faster!
- Yes.
Be careful not to break anything.
We should kill that jerk!
Isn't it crazy? He was all over her, and now he dumps her?
That's not it. She's always drunk like this.
How could I have messed up all the job interviews?
At least you made it to the finals in one. I got rejected by all from the resume stage.
You've done an internship, at least.
Forget about it. Just do cheers.
There are so many other men in the world.
One more soju, please!
We were drinking Jinro, not Chamisul.
I'm sorry. I'll bring it right over.
Do you know what her goal is?
She's not listening.
It's dating five guys.
- Dating five guys?
- Yes.
- What on earth is that? Here's your soju.
- And listen.
She wants to date one Korean, one French
What are you doing? Move faster! Go and clean that up!
Nice, nice.
- You should stop drinking.
- Say a few words.
Congrats to Jae Won for being discharged from the military!
Congrats!
Bottoms up, man!
Have you adjusted to society yet?
What's there to adjust?
How can you not take time off from university?
How can you keep up with the university and everything else? Take it easy, man.
I need to finish university soon and get a job.
You know what? When I see you, I feel like I'm suffocating.
Besides the club activity, all you do is study.
You interned at that foreign company and then went to the military, so I thought you'd take a break.
But instead, you got the certifications and scored 950 in TOEIC.
You got my respect, man.
Hey! We can't afford to worry about this jerk.
This guy is well backed up by family, connections, and all.
He doesn't need us to worry about him.
Who around us got their parents to buy them a car? Just him.
Also, a flock of girls in our school awaits him to return from the military.
A flock of girls.
It's enough.
Did I lie?
Stop nagging.
- Are you crazy?
- What, are you going to hit me? Come at me!
Let me get the hospital money from your parents.
They're fighting. Go do something.
Hey, what are you two doing?
I only spoke the truth. Let go of this. You let go of me first!
Stop it now.
Hey, enough.
He almost killed us!
Jae Won, you know I love you, right?
When I drink this, you forgive me, okay?
Stop drinking now.
You know I love you more, right?
What the
Excuse me, can you give me a cigarette?
I only vape.
(T/N: Vape is an electronic cigarette)
Then where's the nearest convenience store?
I'll give you one of my boss' cigarettes.
Thank you!
Why did you bring two?
It's not nice to bring just one.
I meant to apologize before, for the fight. Sorry about that.
Congrats on the discharge from the army.
Did you hear that? I guess we were too loud.
All university areas' bars are like that.
Then do you go to university here?
What year?
I just got in last week.
So you're a freshman, huh?
- Why do you ask?
- Because my younger brother also
Nevermind.
Hey, freshman! What do you know about things?
What do you know better when you just came back from the military?
Say what? You have to respect your senior.
Just a few weeks back, you were going to high school in your uniforms.
If you work this late, how do you get home?
I come from the countryside, so I live in a school dorm.
If you just moved from the countryside, then you won't know many people, do you?
Do you want me to be your friend?
- Hey, Jae Won!
- Yes!
This bastard is totally wasted.
Are you okay? Seriously!
Let's go.
I paid the bill with your mom's card.
I'm going.
We've got plenty of lighters at the bar.
Let's go.
I said, let's go!
We're leaving now. Bye!
What are you doing?
We need to close things up.
Leave it. We can do it tomorrow.
Bring a bottle of soju over here.
Hurry up!
Why are you so slow?
Cheers.
Someone taught you good drinking manners.
You must be tired.
By the way
Promise me one thing.
What is it?
When you drink with other adults, do what you just did.
But don't turn your head when you're drinking with me.
I can't do that.
After my divorce, I came to Seoul with nothing in my pocket.
But now that I made it this far, I realized something.
I realized that I don't have a single friend to sit down and drink with in Seoul.
So I came up with this one rule. When I drink with my staff, we face each other.
I'm quite obedient.
Hey! You have to use two hands when you're pouring!
I'm sorry.
Let me pour it for you.
There you go.
Did you get settled in Seoul already?
Yes, thanks to you.
But why did you start working right away after coming here?
Other kids from the countryside were hanging out at those places that came out on TV.
I'm not sure what's what yet.
Let's just say it's my own way of settling here.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
At first, you'll be clumsy and scared of everything.
But that's because you aren't familiar with it.
You don't know about Seoul, the university, and about being a grown-up.
But time will make things better.
If you live every day to the fullest, one day, you'll feel like,
"Why was I so worried back then?"
Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
I'll live every day to my fullest.
There you go. Live to the fullest.
- I'm cold.
- Cold?
- Yes.
- Sure. I'm cold, too.
Were you cold?
- We're here.
- Yes, we're here. Get in there.
Are you okay?
- Are you okay?
- Jae Won.
- Jae Won.
- Yes?
I'm so jealous of you.
You don't have any worries whatsoever, do you?
For you, it's all served on a silver platter.
Your dad owns a company.
I'm jealous of the worry-free you!
Okay, stop it now.
It's okay. You can do it well, too.
- Get inside now.
- Thanks.
- And drink moderately.
- Thanks.
Don't drink this much. Oh, no!
You freaked me out.
It's all good.
Please get inside safely.
Where have you been in Seoul?
I went to the Gangnam station area once.
I thought the entire population of this country was there.
I freaked out and ran back immediately.
How come buses in Seoul keep coming and coming?
Have you ever gone on subway line 2?
No.
You see, the line 2 subway goes in a circle, so you have to see the directions before getting on.
Guess what? I still struggle getting on the right one.
You have to go to Han River for sure.
When you see the Han River, it makes you really feel that you're in Seoul city.
Go there tomorrow.
Okay.
Oh, countryside boy.
Drink up.
It's so cold.
[Mom: 7 Missed Calls]
[Mom: Where are you? Your dad is flipping because you're partying all night before the semester starts.]
You're back!
Thank you again for bringing this precious alcohol for me to drink!
Did you pay for these?
I didn't get any withdrawal text from our joint account.
It's from my boss.
She should have packed some meat in here.
There's a meat dish!
That's the boss! She has a beautiful soul.
Come, let's eat.
I'm so sick of it.
What? The pork belly?
No, I'm talking about you!
I'm sick of that we still live together, attending the same university
after being born in the same small town and going to the same school for seven years.
It's insane.
So, was it okay at work?
Yes.
Nothing happened.
Yes, I put it on it.
Mom, I got to go in now.
I'll talk to you later.
Are you nervous?
No, not at all.
Is it delicious?
Where's the building for the Social Sciences?
It's so far!
I got to run.
Hey! What about lunch?
Hey, buddy. Why are you eating alone?
- Hello.
- What's up?
So, you really don't have friends, huh?
I do, and it's none of your business.
You would've made friends during orientation week. Didn't you go?
No, I had to work.
This is the time when you should be having fun! That's what being a freshman is all about.
I'm good, so you go have all that fun.
Don't be touchy.
Fun times are over for me.
I just came back to school after the military.
I have to focus on getting a job.
I see. So fighting with your drunk friend is part of the process, huh?
Look at you, saying stuff.
By the way, thanks for that day.
No thanks are necessary. I was just doing my job.
Stopping fights between drunk people is part of my job.
I promised to be your friend.
Why didn't you call me?
I don't have your number
True, my number—
- Hey!
- You scared me!
What are you doing here? Hey.
- Let's go play games.
- Okay, I'm coming.
- Let's go right now.
- I'll get going.
I promised to be your friend, so give me a ring!
Did you become friends with him?
[Surf Club]
[New Contact: Kang Yoon Won]
[Kang Yoon Won]
What are you up to?
Nothing.
Come on. What are you hiding?
Leave it alone.
Wait, how do you know my password?
0309. That's Girls' Generation Taeyeon's birthday.
It's been that since middle school.
Seriously, you are crazy.
Surf club?
You can't even swim. Why are you looking at the surf club?
It just popped up.
By the way, these two look really cool. There's no place for a hillbilly like us in there.
Give it back to me.
Let's have a drink to celebrate the start of the school year.
I'll pass.
Come on, let's go.
Let's have some time apart, please.
Don't be like that. Let's go.
Wow, Seoul has changed you.

♫ Need to be good at using chopsticks for eating ♫
♫ I'm good at it, but I still don't eat much ♫
♫ Breaking prejudice means ♫
♫ Making another one ♫
♫ Grandpa and Grandma are dancing ♫
♫ I'm too tired, I'm off ♫
♫ I'm full of complaints to this world ♫
♫ But why no one asks me about it? ♫
♫ Yahh Ye! Is it a bow that makes you polite? ♫
♫ My head is too heavy for that ♫
♫ I'm helping that old man passing by ♫
♫ While you are spitting on me ♫
♫ Yahh Ye! Old, but empty ♫
♫ Yahh Ye! You have to clean what you messed up ♫
♫ Yahh Ye! Need to be good at using chopsticks for eating ♫
♫ I'm good at it, but I still don't eat much ♫

Did you change your mind? Where shall we go for a drink?
That's not it. How long did it take for you to get to Han River?
About 20 to 30 minutes?
Really? Then why it says an hour for me?
Where are you?
I'm at Hangang Park.
Which Hangang Park?
I think it said "Banpo."
You moron! Why would you go all the way to Banpo side when we've got one nearby our university?
Are those different?
The Han River is super long. Do you think there's just one park?
Okay, I'll talk to you later.
Where should we go? Should we just get a bottle?
Sounds great.
A bottle? Are you going to be okay?
- Good.
- Really?
- Yup!
- Good, good.
[Sammi Restauran | Frozen Pork Belly]
Hey, aren't you guys hungry?
What? Why would we be hungry when we just had pizza and beer?
Let's just get a bottle of drink.
Hey, instead, how about we go for pork and soju?
No
Come on. Let's have pork and soju.
- I don't feel like it.
- Come on, let's go.
- I said I don't want to.
- Let's go!
No, I don't want to!
- Seriously.
- I don't want to!
What can I get for you?
We'll order in a second.
Let's eat quickly and go.
We'll have two portions of pork rinds and one bottle of soju, please.
What are you doing?
Check this out.
"Hi, congratulations on your discharge from the army. When you have time, let's have a drink together."
Girls don't leave you alone, huh?
Are you going to date any of them?
I'm not interested.
Jae Won, don't tell me you still haven't got over Eun Ji, are you?
I heard her side of the story, and I think there's a misunderstanding.
There's no misunderstanding. I don't know about others, but we know what's what.
It's simple. She set her eyes on someone else while he was in the army.
I have no feelings for her anymore. Let's stop talking about this.
It's not like you asked her to wait for you. She made that choice and cheated on you.
That's not it.
The guy is a psycho who lied about something that never happened! Eun Ji is a victim, too.
Seriously, enough!
It's my story, but I said I'm fine.
So stop it.
I need to go to the restroom.
I said, let's go get the bottle
The rinds are nice.
Hey, look who's here.
Eun Ji told me she was nearby. Can you believe it?
You'll see each other at the surf club anyway, so it's better to get it out of the way now.
Don't you think so?
How have you been?
Good. And you?
Me too.
How was discharging from the military?
I need to go to the restroom.
Hurry up.
What?
He'll eventually see her at the surf club.
It's your day off, what are you doing here?
It was the first day of university, and it would be a shame if I just went back to the dorm.
Is there nowhere else for you to go?
I went to Han River.
How was it?
It was nice.
When that table leaves, let's have a drink.
Okay.
Hey, don't work and just wait. Why aren't they leaving?
Let's have another glass! Jae Won, you should have a drink, too.
Come on, cheers!
You're really cool, Jae Won. He's the man.
It tastes bitter now.
Eun Ji, I heard you took time off, but are you back this semester?
Yes.
You canceled your time off because Jae Won is back to school, right?
I'm going out for a cigarette.
Have another glass.
You're awesome!
Hello.
Oh, hi.
I didn't see you earlier.
It's my day off.
Then why are you here?
I came to have a drink with my boss.
I see.
You do have friends.
My name is Ji Hyun.
I thought we should know each other's name if we're going to be friends.
Right, my name's Jae Won.
Don't drink too much, and get home safe.
Hello.
Oh, hello.
I'm Kim Ji Hyun, the one who called you earlier.
Oh, you're the freshman! Welcome!
Come and have a seat here.
Have you surfed before?
No, never.
It's okay.
I must say, you're so cute!
Thank you.
Let's see I told them not to touch the stuff on the desk.
- I'm sorry, I'm a bit late.
- Yeah, no kidding.
I had some stuff to do.
Hey. You also decided to join the club after seeing how pretty she is on the poster, right?
Guys all join because of her.
No, it's not like that.
I'm just joking. Say hi to each other. He's a freshman.
Hello.
Hi.
Just sign here on the form. I've got your number, so just write your name here.
Welcome, cutie pie.
Thank you. I'm excited to join the club.
Here's the info for our first get-together trip, so take one.
No refunds.
Okay.
Have a nice day.
See you!
Oh my, he's so cute.
Hey, what's up with those big boxers? Don't you have boxer briefs?
This is all I have.
Take mine, then.
No! What kind of nonsense is that?
Are you really serious about this surf club?
That's so not you.
- What is the deal?
- What?
You're acting weird!
Like, you don't need money but started working as soon as we came to Seoul.
You even missed the orientation day.
You ignore me when I say let's go out to hang out.
But then you join a surf club?
- Hey, Joon Pyo.
- Yes?
How long has it been since we've become adults?
Three months?
When you make a decision, do you do it because you have a clear purpose or reason?
No.
Then isn't it okay to try something new without any reason?
Sure.
What's this?
It's sunscreen. If you don't put anything on your face, you'll get sunburned.
You don't wear this either.
Since we are hillbillies, at least you got to do it right.
If you apply some, you'll look like you know something.
Thanks, man.
Hey, pack some towels, too.
Hey, cutie pie.
Come on, let me introduce you to the group. Attention, please!
Here's our new member. Freshman, Ji Hyun.
- Hello!
- Hi!
Let's see. Who's not here yet?
You're the VP, and you show up only now?
Sorry, really sorry.
Hello, Sunbaenim!
Hey, Jae Won!
Jae Won! Come sit here.
All right! Let's hit the road.
Surf club, Free Bird! It's the first trip of this semester. Let's go!
Let's go!
We'll be looking at the same landscape, so it would be nice to listen to the same music.
