FOUR-MEMBER ROCK BAND FORMED IN 1962 IN LIVERPOOL
Hey, are you sure it's gonna rain today?
Mm-hmm. They said it would.
Oh, I don't think it's gonna rain.
[Jae-won] It's okay. Don't worry.
THIS BAND WAS BOTH ARTISTIC AND POPULAR
Come here.
EVEN TO THIS DAY, THEY'RE STILL AN INSPIRATION TO MANY
UNLIKE MOST OF THEIR SONGS,
"KISS ME KISS ME" IS A SONG THAT OPENLY TALKS ABOUT LOVE
MANY KOREAN ARTISTS
HAVE COVERED THIS SONG
♪ Baby, baby, baby, you're my love ♪
- [Jae-won] You know what? - Hmm?
[inhales sharply] I can't seem to focus on this book.
I know something better to look at.
[exhales]
What's this symbolize?
[inhales] I just like how it looked.
I don't try to find meaning in anything anymore.
I got it 'cause it was pretty. That's what it symbolizes.
[soft chuckles]
- I like it. - But why?
Just because.
Mm.
I like your style, who you are.
I like pretty much every single thing about you.
[exhales]
♪ Around your body, darling ♪
- [rain pours] - [Eun-o] Oh!
It's raining.
[soft chuckle] See? I told you we'd see it.
- [exclaims excitedly] - Huh?
- Uh-huh. - I was so right.
- [both laugh] - [Jae-won] I told you so.
[Eun-o shrieks]
[both laugh]
Wow.
- Let's go out. - What? What? Where…

[exhales]
- [Eun-o] You're leaving in a month, right? - [Jae-won] Yeah.
I asked for a one-month vacation. Why?
If you took another month, is there a chance you might get fired?
Why? Should I extend my stay?
Besides, if I get fired, I'll just go back to my old boss.
[chuckles]
[clears throat]
If I do request more time…
will you marry me?
[chuckles] Are you for real?
Mm-hmm.
There's clearly a bride and groom here.
We have a cozy place to live, and we really like each other.
Hmm.
I thought you said you quit being so reluctant or hesitant.
[Eun-o] You're right. I did.
- A wedding would be super fun. - Right? Wouldn't it?
Then let's do it for fun. Hmm?
- Let's do it. - Sure.
[both laugh]
But is that it for your proposal?
[tongue clicks] Proposal?
[Eun-o] It might be silly, but I have this fantasy.
I can't believe it. For real?
Do pay phones still exist?
[rattles]
Doesn't he have a cell phone?
That's so cringy.
Proposal? Yeah, I did it. Mm-hmm. Hmm.

Do you promise to stay together till you grow old and gray?

Hmm.

No, it's not over yet.

TEAM LEADER PARK JAE-WON
[Jae-won] That makes me angrier at her.
[sighs]
I wonder where her ring is.
Bet she tossed it.
Yep, I did. I tossed it.
[plastic crinkles]
[exasperated sigh]
If you're gonna break up, you should at least return the ring.
[scoffs]
What will you do with it? Re-gift the thing?
I'm sorry, no. Do I look like a cheapskate?
I just can't understand her thinking.
Why'd she do the wedding thing? Just to dump him?
- That's right. - I should get back to work.
I was writing a project proposal. I'm busy.
- [scoffs] - She definitely wasn't planning on it.
Guess he's still sugarcoating it for himself.
That wedding wasn't even legally binding.
- [Kyeong-jun] I want him to forget it. - Yeah, he really should.
- It's not about the legality. - I get him, though.
Since it wasn't like an official marriage, it makes him more emotional about it all.
It's better to view it factually.
They only lived together, um, two months.
That's a short time?
Listen, life is long.
- Two months is short. - [sighs]
I don't think it's something worth him moping about like that.
Oh, who cares?
It's easy for them to say all that since it's not about them.
During that time, did he lose anything important?
Where did that thought come from?
It just came into my head.
- What if he wasn't her actual target? - [gasps]
Then who would it be?
[sharp inhale]
I mean, well…
[puffs]
Maybe she approached him with some kind of, um…
ulterior motive or agenda.
What if he had a golden frog that weighed about an ounce?
How much would that be?
Am I worth less than a golden frog? Is he joking?
[chuckles]
I'm sorry. My friend's a little bit of an idiot.
He's a writer. So his ideas can be kind of out there.
Hold on, hold on, bear with me.
She wanted something, so she approached him and stole it.
She achieved her goal and dumped him after.
You said he's a writer. But is he any good at it?
He debuted in a quarterly magazine.
Well, he really has terrible ideas. I'm surprised people pay him.
- So she definitely didn't rob him? - Nope.
- I didn't. I promise. - Why was she into a guy who had nothing?
[Jae-won] Okay. You know what, tell this clown, I wanna meet him in person.
God, I hate him already.
Tell him not before he meets me first, okay?
- [beeps] - Check. Send him my way.
My sixth sense is tingling. He did lose something.
I just know Seon-a stole it.
[Geon] She approached him precisely because of that something.
He just doesn't wanna admit
she faked her feelings and the entire relationship.
- [metal clangs] - It feels like…
it's what a woman in her 20s would say to some geriatric rich man.
[imitating female voice] "I love you. I love you so much,
I just wanna stay here and have your kids, please."
HE'S PISSED
And he's trying so hard to believe that.
It's true.
- Yup! Nailed it. - Hey…
Stop filming.
Turn the camera off. I… Uh… This interview…
I can't… I can't do that. I…
I quit.
HE'S UPSET
I'm telling you. They don't know her. They're flat-out wrong.
Her feelings for me were totally real.
She was completely passionate and authentic.
If I'm being honest, I didn't think I could actually be more loved by her.
You know what else, huh? That woman never knew a middle ground.
She loved me more than a human being can possibly love someone.
And you have no idea what you're talking about.
[groans]
- [humming] - [pan clanging]
- [man 1] We'd like two more beers. - [Ra-ra] Two more? Okay.
BIN'S SURFING & RA-RA'S RAMYEON
- Seon-a. - Mm?
- Toss the food waste. - Oh, yeah. I got it.
- [Ra-ra] Here are your beers. - [woman 1] Thank you.
- [Ra-ra] Enjoy. - [woman 1] Okay.
[giggles]
You're back already? Where's the bucket?
No idea.
- That's weird. - Mm-hmm.
- Did you throw it away? - [chuckles]
- [Bin] Of course. - [Ra-ra] That's not true.
[woman 2] Did he change?
[Ra-ra] You don't smile at me as much as you did.
- [man 2] Oh, wow, you ladies. - Don't be silly.
- [woman 2] I don't believe that. - [woman 3] Come on.
- Let's go. - This counts as a smile.
[woman 2] I envy your endless summer life.
What's up?
- Say you're leaving. - [Ra-ra] Seon-a, have a beer.
- Yeah. Sit down. - Have some.
- I need to go home, actually. - What?
"Home"? Like your trailer?
Yeah, he needs to come home with me.
- What? Are you guys going somewhere? - [scoffs]
- Well, I just… - [Eun-o] In fact, we're both going home
considering I live with him in his trailer.
- [Ra-ra] Really? - [Bin] Huh? Together?
[Eun-o] Yeah, we live together.
It's been what now, maybe a month?
- Almost a month. - Ah.
- Yeah, it's been a month. - What? Have you gone insane?
- [woman 2] Are you serious? - [nervous exhale]
We even got married, too.
- [Ra-ra] What? - [Bin] You did?
- Oh, no way! - No, well, yeah.
- [Ra-ra] You're crazy! - Hold on, no. Just let me explain.
[Jae-won] Yes, we did get married.
- But it's nothing serious-- - Don't forget, all of you.
- He's mine. So hands off. - [Bin] Right. Oh. Right.
- [Ra-ra] Let's congratulate them. - [woman 2] Oh!
[Ra-ra] Congratulations, Seon-a.
- [woman 3] Congrats. - [all laughing]
How can you be so comfortable and open about us living together? Just like that.
'Cause it's true. I've been there for three weeks.
Yeah, but aren't you even a little embarrassed?
No way. Not at all. In fact, I could tell the entire world.
Now, how would you possibly tell the whole world?
- We got married and we live together. - Whoa, hey, stop that.
[Eun-o] We got married. We live together.
- [Jae-won] Wait. - [all cheer]
- [man 1] Congratulations. - We got married. We live together.
Knock it off. You're embarrassing us. Seriously.
[Jae-won] We got married! We live together!
- [all clapping] - [laughs]
- [man 2] Congratulations. - Gosh, I'm a married guy.
["For Some Reason" by John Park playing]
The weather's lovely.
- Isn't it nice? - Mm-hmm.
[Jae-won laughs]
- [chuckles] Wow. It's fun. - [laughs]
- [screams] - Oh, no!
Come on. Keep up, Seon-a.
Wait up!
[Eun-o] Whoo!
- [Jae-won screams] - [Eun-o laughs]
UPHILL REST STOP 150M
[sharp exhale]
- [engine rumbling] - [grunts]
Jae-won, hang in there!
You can do it! I'll go first!
- Bye. - Don't leave me. Hold on!
[soft reading]
[sharp inhale]
[Jae-won] Where in space is Yoon Seon-a's Earth?
And where is her Mars? Hmm?
What? Wait, what? What is this?
- [Jae-won] Oh! I hate this so much! - [Eun-o giggles]
[Jae-won groans]
Isn't it so cute? They're perfect.
- [scoffs] - [giggles]
- [Eun-o] Your food's all ready, guys. - Wow. Looks awesome.
[tray clacks]
[man] Hmm?
- What? - What?
- Why is Jae-won's so huge? - Seriously?
Well, eat up, Jae-won. I added some clams.
[laughs]
Wow, this is quite a… Why did you add so many?
I mean, I do love clams.
[Jae-won slurps] Mm.
- Mm. - Is it good?
The broth is really… different.
- Ah… - [Jae-won] We had a great thing going.
She's the last person who would have approached me with an ulterior motive.
You know what, huh?
It's his fault. That asshole Kyeong-jun.
Sure. That's me. The little asshole.
He didn't do his job properly, so I had to hurry back to Seoul and…
[groans]
How could stretching a one-month vacation to two be all right?
Is this a joke, huh?
The president here scouted me and I only gave one condition,
a one-month vacation.
Exactly. And you got your month.
But after that, you still hadn't come back.
That's why I had no choice but to cause trouble.
'Cause I'm not as competent as you.
And speak quieter when you're talking crap, okay?
I can hear it all.
- [Jae-won groans] - [tires screech]
[Jae-won] Stop calling me. I know. I know. I'm on my way, all right?
[car door closes]
Yes, I'll go back and take care of it.
First, don't do anything and stay put. Tell my dad I got it this under control.
I'll go down to the District Office and handle everything.
Yes. Stop freaking out.
How many times did I tell you not to worry since we did nothing illegal?
Anyway, I sent my surfboard ahead, so make sure to go pick it up, okay?
- Jae-won. - [sighs]
Look, Seon-a…
Again, I'm sorry I have to leave like this. You know I wanna stay.
[exhales]
- You remember my number? - Of course.
And what do you do if you forget my number for any reason?
- [paper rustles] - Got it.
- If you lose that, what happens? - I won't.
Yeah, but if you do, where and when did we agree to meet?
Cheonggyecheon's third stepping stone, last Saturday of the month. At ten.
Good. Don't forget that.
[guard] Excuse me. Could you move your car, please?
Yes, sorry, sir. Give us one more minute. Please.
I told you to get your own phone.
I don't understand why you keep borrowing Bin's.
I'll call you as soon as I get one in Seoul, okay?
- You should go. - Okay.
- See you soon. - Mm-hmm.
- [Jae-won] I mean it. - Mm-hmm.
- Soon. - Okay.
- Bye. - Bye, Seon-A.
[Eun-o] Go.
Go. You're late.
[Jae-won] That was the end.
Forever.
We clearly promised to meet again in Seoul.
But that was it.
We were supposed to come back here together.
[scoffs] But damn Kyeong-jun…
[grunts]
- Where are you going? - Don't know.
- What do you mean you don't know? - I don't care! Get those out of my face.
Throw them away! Why do you still have them?
- Why would I throw them away? - Because we're not using them!
- You're a terrible worker. What an idiot. - [scoffs]
[sighs] He's pissing me off.
[Kyeong-jun] Jae-won, come back.
- Jae-won. Uh… - [button beeps]
- You're changing the design? - Well, yeah. Why not?
- We have this here. I mean, look. - Well, I'm the team leader.
[Kyeong-jun] Oh, sorry. Hello, sir.
Let me open the door for you.
- [gasps] - [door beeps]
Let's take a walk.
ARCHITECTURE AND PEOPLE
- [woman] Hello. - [Mr. Park] Hello.
[Kyeong-jun hums]
[Mr. Park] What do you think you're doing?
Changing the design for the Buam-dong house?
Is this your company?
Are you trying to ruin what your father has built?
- Dad… - You little punk.
It's actually Mr. Park, not "little punk," sir.
Uncle, I shut the door for you.
Now you're free to yell and beat him up as much as you want.
[Mr. Park] How many times have you changed it?
You should've already hired a contractor and be into the construction phase by now.
Look here. See, Bugaksan Mountain would be on this side.
The stairs should be placed here
for them to admire the view as they go up and down.
Well, we've reconfirmed that the mountain is visible
and can be enjoyed from the comforts of the upstairs living room.
The client says the design is great as it is.
He's saying that 'cause he doesn't know what's better.
We know more about the models, so we should be advising him.
If you knew it, you should've done a better job from the start.
[Mr. Park] Correct me if I'm wrong,
but did Bugaksan Mountain up and move to this region suddenly?
How can I know when I have no previous experience?
That's why I only get a fourth of your pay. I mean, if I'm being honest.
[groans]
How in the world could I have trusted you with my company?
I don't know why you would do it ether.
I was happy at my previous agency, so why did you drag me here?
I have a lot of respect for that company's president.
Uncle, what did I say when we had codfish soup and soju?
- Give him credit. - What is your drama, you punk?
It's Mr. Choi, not "punk" either, please, sir.
[groans] You ridiculous little brats.
[grunts]
Goodbye.
Pull a stunt like this again, either of you,
- and you're both fired like that. - Thank you.
[scoffs]
- Oh, why me? - [door clonks open]
Oh… [sighs]
[exhales]
[grunting]
I love working for this agency.
[sighs]
However, I don't like its boss.
Funny because I actually really like that guy.
Mm. But not my team leader.
[taps table] Speaking of which, uh…
I've thought about changing the location of the stairs entirely.
- Like this. - No. Hold on. Stop, bro.
Let's make this clear.
Change that right there, and it will cause a domino effect,
and we'll have to move the bathroom and the bedroom as well.
I know all that, but let's do it. Huh?
- What do you think? - Don't touch me.
- Should we go there now, huh? Why not? - I can't.
- I can't go. I have a date with Rin-i. - [scoffs]
I have to leave around the time she clocks out.
- Then let's go as a trio. - Yeah… No way, man.
- Let me join you. - What would you do? No way.
- [Jae-wan] Let me join you. - No way.
- I'll buy you ice cream. Kyeong-jun. - [Kyeong-jun] Forget it.
- Hey, Mr. Choi. Come on. - [door closes]
- It's here. Mm-hmm. - Is it? Yay!
Uh-huh.
Here's your combo pizza. Let me know if you need anything.
- [woman 1] Thank you so much. - [woman 2] Looks good. I can't wait.
Hold on. One minute.
[sighs]
[elevator beeps]
[huffs]
[puffs]
I'm not who I used to be.
I'm the new Lee Eun-o.
[exhales]
[gasps] Over here.
- Whoa. - [Eun-o chuckles]
[woman] I didn't recognize you. You've changed so much.
- [Eun-o] So how have you been? - Good.
Right. I heard
- you're a deputy general manager now. - Mm-hmm.
- [chuckles] - [woman] You've become prettier.
- Even your style's changed a lot. - That's not all that's changed about me.
Really, everything has.
Right. How long has it been since you worked here?
- Like… - [gasps]
- It's been about seven years. - Oh, yeah.
- You were still a student, right? - Yes.
Ah.
[business card rustles]
- Here. Take a business card. - A new job. Great.
What? You set up a company?
It's one-person, so far. The name is O3, not 03.
It stands for the three rounded letters in my name.
- Hmm. You're more eloquent now, too. - [chuckles]
How long has it been?
Less than a year. It's been ongoing for nine months.
Hmm…
So how's it going?
[clicks tongue]
I've been begging and visiting those I know for work.
Not turning down any scraps or work orders so far.
I'm just barely making ends meet, to be honest.
Um…
Well, since we're on the topic, miss…
Sorry. I mean, ma'am.
Can you give me any work?
- What kind? - Anything.
Let me know if you need a subcontractor. I'll even hire part-timers, if necessary.
I don't care how small or exhausting the job is. I'm not picky.
Did you bring your portfolio?
[Eun-o chuckles]
- [Jae-won] Hello. Hello. - [manager] Hey.
What's going on?
Unfortunately, we haven't connected the drainpipes yet,
- and it rained two days ago. - Ah.
Here you go. It's for you.
For your wife's birthday.
Oh, wow. You didn't need to do this.
Mr. Park, did you buy a cake or something?
- Here's some snacks. - Ooh, these are my favorite.
- Well, thank you, Mr. Park. - Don't mention it.
- I'll do it for you. - No, no, stop. Your suit will get ruined.
[manager] I promise you, your clothes will get all smelly.
- Oh, my. - All right. Throw it over there.
[manager] Oh, okay. You already got it.
[beeps]
[radio static]
- [sighs] - [hard taps]
You only work after a good beating.
[romantic music plays]
[sighs]
- [Eun-o] Have you heard this song before? - [Jae-won] Yes.
[singing in Korean] ♪ I couldn't let you go ♪
♪ So even the time Couldn't take you away from me ♪
♪ Our memory together Was deeply stuck like a thorn ♪
[Eun-o] He had just arrived at Yangyang that day.
[Jae-won] To live for a month in a camper.
And the second wish was to do nothing but surf for a month.
[Eun-o] He looked so excited.
Everyone's excited when they're on a trip. So was I.
Ta-da!
[laughs]
[screams]
[Jae-won] I think we were both a little crazy back then.
[pants]
[Jae-won laughs]
[Eun-o] Stop. [chuckles]
Yoon Seon-a and Park Jae-won's wedding will now begin.
[Jae-won] We got married! We live together!
- [both laugh] - [people cheer]
[Eun-o] The two months we spent at the beach feel like a dream.
[Jae-won] She said she lived in Seoul, too.
I thought I'd run into her at least once.
But I never did.
[Eun-o] I'm trying to forget him.
No, I already have.
Is it raining?
[switches click]
What? Wait, what?
Oh, no.
[Eun-o] What's wrong? What's the problem?
[switches click]
What?
You can't just stop there.
Go down. I said go down.
[sighs]
Oh, no.
You're broken, too? [thumps]
[groans]
[both sigh]
- And my clothes seem to smell now. - What a nice car.
- [Jae-won] Oh, this sucks. - Trust fund, baby.
Whereas I, I paid for this. On my own.
[puffs]
[gasps]
This is embarrassing. [sighs]
That window's broken down, too. Are you kidding me?
Yeah, it must be nice to have working windows.
- Ah. - [gasps]
- [puffs] - [Eun-o] This is crazy.
Why is Seoul so small?
[playful music plays]
He didn't… He didn't see me, did he?
[hand brake cranks]
[exhales]
Why I dumped him?
You know what's the worst about this kind of breakups?
It's not about missing her or the days I spent with her.
[groans]
It's that you keep asking yourself, "What was it I did wrong?"
Let's see…
There are too many reasons.
Reasons?
I don't know what they would be 'cause I didn't do anything wrong.
Well, for starters, he…
he doesn't remember this talk.
I really like every single thing about you.
- What if I… - [Jae-won] Hmm?
I don't know. What if I was a different person?
"Different person"? Different how?
Like, what if I didn't have this tattoo and had a different personality?
Then that's not Yoon Seon-a.
[Eun-o] That's the reason.
I told you already. The girl he knew in Yangyang wasn't real.
That's when I had the realization.
"I think I…
really need to leave him.
This relationship has to end here."
The breakup would've been less painful if we'd fought or something.
Well… [sighs]
The second reason it had to end…
I just wish…
I knew where she was and how she's doing now.
