[air blower wheezes]
[narrator] If you break up, what do you do with the memory box?
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE MEMORY BOX AFTER BREAKING UP?
- Memory box? - I even kept all of our ticket stubs.
[background chatter]
Memories are precious.
- They just stay. - They torture me.
That's the biggest problem after a breakup, though.
[deep inhale] I don't obsess over things like that.
I don't obsess over them, but I do expect to get them back.
You want them back? But they're just objects.
That's right. We can always just…
keep our precious memories only in our hearts.
That's how I felt about it.
3 YEARS AGO
- Take it off. - Take off, uh…
We broke up just now, didn't we? So take it off.
[sighs] There you go again.
Breaking up has nothing to do with this.
Yes, it does because the coat you're wearing
is something I bought for you on my trip to the US.
Take it off.
[clicks tongue] Fine. I'll take the coat off.
[sighs]
[ominous music plays]
- Remove your shirt. - Are you crazy? It's winter.
Yeah, but that was our matching shirt. Come on.
Hey, wait, I bought this shirt.
- Take it off. Now. - Wait.
You'll think about me whenever you wear it.
- I don't want that. Take it off! - [grunts]
[both exhale]
[scoffs]
[sighs]
Take off your shoes, too.
- There. - [chuckles]
[Seon-yeong] The socks, too.
- Why are you making me take off my socks? - Because I bought them for you.
- When did you buy me socks? - When I bought you the Mickey Mouse socks.
Those with these smiley ones?
You were wearing a pair with holes, so I bought them for you.
I can't take off my socks.
The feet…
[shaky breathing]
…are like the second heart.
[shaky breathing]
[grunts]
[heavy breathing]
[light music plays]
[grunts]
[huffs]
[groans]
[puffing]
[Dong-sik] Put them on. You must be freezing.
No, I…
I'm walking barefoot on purpose. It's supposed to be very good for you.
I saw you guys fighting back there in the alley.
Oh, you just saw that?
[deep inhale]
Thank you. I'll put them on.
[deep inhale]
[car horn honks]
[Dong-sik] Do you wanna wear this?
I appreciate it.
[chuckles]
- Wait, this… - It's from my high school.
- Daeun High School? - Yeah.
- Soccer team? - Soccer team?

- Oh, my. Oh… - Crazy.
Wow, I can't believe you still have this. You just graduated?
No. Five years ago.
I graduated six years ago. I still have this, too.
I thought I recognized…
Oh, were you the goalkeeper?
Uh, no, he just looks like me.
- I was on the bench cheering the squad. - [zipper rasps]
[sharp inhale] I didn't like getting sweaty.
Ah.
Oh Dong-sik, offense, jersey number 24.
I see. Nice to meet you.
- What a small world. - I'm happy I was able to help.
[Geon] Do you always carry this stuff around with you?
Oh, man. I passed the police entrance exam today.
- So I'm moving out of my studio. - [sighs]
[chuckles]
- Oh, my god, man. Congratulations. Really. - Thanks. Thank you.
It's interesting. I was leaving the studio with my stuff and…
when I saw you getting beaten up with a bag, uh…
[chuckles] It really broke my heart to see that.
- It must've been because we're alumni. - [sighs]
That's the same bag I bought her.
Have you been beaten with a bag before?
[chuckles] Well, she definitely hit you hard.
It's all right. Things like this happen in life all the time. What can you do?
You know what? It's a crazy coincidence that we met.
Why don't we get a drink together?
Let's go. I'm buying.
[chuckles]
- Thank you. - All right.
[Geon] That day, we had three rounds.
[exhales]
We had a blast.
We got drunk and went to our high school that night.
We played soccer without a ball on the field.
It was so fun. I didn't even sweat.
You had fun after our breakup?
[laughs] I should've made you take your pants off.
If he knows Geon, that means we're alumni as well.
He's probably on patrol somewhere in Seoul right now.
[Seon-yeong groans] Shit.
- Damn it. I'm so pissed. - We'll meet again someday.
- By coincidence. - [Seon-yeong] Kang Geon, that jerk.
- We're meant to be, I think. - [laughs]
If you meet him again, you're meant to be. Hey, marry him.
How are you doing?
[Geon] I still have your sandals and sweater, if we meet again,
I'll return them to you.
I threw away everything related to him.
I can't throw anything out, let alone take the ring off.
Throwing things away is better.
I think returning them is better.
What's the point of getting them back? I'd throw them away, anyway.
- Who cares if you throw it out? - It helps to end the relationship, right?
[chuckles]
Hey, Kyeong-jun, I know you too well. Come on, be honest.
You didn't go there that day to end things with her.
2 YEARS AGO
[exhales]
- You had to come to my work and do this? - 'Cause you wouldn't see me.
Why should we see each other? We broke up.
- You won't answer your phone. - We broke up, that's why.
Then, what… What about all this stuff?
I texted you about it. Throw it away.
And I told you that I can't just throw them in the bin, all right?
- Fine. I'll do it, then. - Wait. I'm really sorry.
I screwed up, okay?
Why are you just now saying this to me?
You wanted to end it properly.
Isn't that why you brought everything I gave you?
I was faking. Fine.
I was pretending I was good.
I don't wanna break up.
I brought this here as an excuse. I…
I… wanna get back with you.
I don't wanna get back with you.
- Drop it. - Ah…
No. There's more.
There's so much more that I have to give back to you.
And you'll have to do the same, too.
We have to meet up ten more times, many more times than that.
Well, you should've everything you had.
You wouldn't be able to carry all that. It's too much.
Do you know how heavy this is?
That bear you got me for our anniversary.
The one you told me to hug when I think of you.
It was more than my own weight.
The plant you gave me when I started work is in my office, too.
I need to pick up that coat you bought me for Christmas at the dry cleaner's.
If I bring everything, a box won't do.
I'll need to rent a truck to get it to you.
Use your car to move it.
Bring it all to my place in your car.
Then, may I go to your neighborhood?
When we fought and broke up, you told me I wasn't allowed to.
You said you had to return it all.
Like you said, I can't carry it home by myself.
- True. - [Rin-i sighs]
In that case, when I go over, can I just spend the night?
[sharp inhale]
[sighs]
We broke up. Why would you spend the night?
I don't want to break up with you.
If you don't want me to sleep over, then, um,
we'll get together, ten more times around your house.
Every time we meet, I'll give you one of these.
The next time I see you…
wanna meet at your favorite tteokbokki place?
Wait, what is that?
- Don't you remember? - Did I buy you that?
Yeah, you sure did at the amusement park on our first date.
Mm…
Did I?
But why did you keep all this? That was ages ago.
You know what, tteokbokki can wait a minute, huh.
Why don't we go to the amusement park?
I'll wear this on my head all day long and goof around.
Mm.
[Rin-i exhales]
Then…
wait right here until my shift is over.
When I'm off, I'll reconsider breaking up. Okay?
[gasps] Uh, you will?
Ah.
Mm.
Thank you so much.
[car horn honks]
[Rin-i] When I saw that bunny headband…
[scoffs]
…I remembered all the fun times.
[plastic crinkles]
That's what I was aiming for.
We loved each other. Uh, I mean, we still love each other.
- I turned a crisis into… - [plastic crinkles]
…a delicious opportunity.
There's something I really want to ask her.
Uh… Well…
Mm…
Everything related to him is gone.
All of it. I threw it all away.
I had some cameras. [scoffs]
I brought a few along when I went to Yangyang.
But I don't have…
them anymore.
Mm.
[sighs]
[serene music plays]

All right. [sighs]
I started two weeks ago.
At this point, the boards are almost done, and I'm moving on to the next step.
- So the next step is… - What are you doing?
[door closes]
You have another order for wood boards?
- [Eun-o] You have two orders? - Yeah. Yeah.
- [gasps] - [Jae-won] Two boards.
Can you finish them before you go back to Seoul?
Mm-hmm. I can make them before I go.
Mm. [chuckles]
Oh! What's that?
[Jae-won] Polaroids. I wanted to take some pictures.
- I want to take some myself. - Wait a minute.
[whispers] My plan's ruined.
- [gasps] - This is the one.
Here. Hold it.
- [camera creaks] - Just like that. Okay, go for it.
- [Eun-o] Press this button? - Uh-huh.
- I'm in it? - Yes.
[light chuckle]
- One, two, three. - [camera shutter clicks]
- Huh? - And now…
- take out the film from here. - Ah…
- Wow. - You just need to wait.
- [Eun-o] Oh, I have to wait? - Mm-hmm.
While I wait, I'll take photos with this one.
Yeah, what? Uh, the film camera?
That one's hard to handle. Uh…
You first need to learn about the sensitivity of the camera,
shutter speed, and like focal light.
Forget it. Come here. Look.
- This is the focus. - Mm-hmm.
- You can use that to adjust the focus. - Mm.
- It's blurry, right? - Mm-hmm.
So if you unscrew it, you'll see two images right in the middle.
- Yeah. - When the two images seem to overlap,
it will be in focus.
[Eun-o gasps] I can see clearly now.
- You can? - Yeah.
Nice. You have a knack for this. You're smart.
- Show me how you feel with a kiss. - Yes, ma'am.
[chuckles]
["For Some Reason" by John Park playing]
- [Eun-o] Whoo! - [both laugh]
[Jae-won] Whoa!
- The weather is so nice today. - It's really nice.
[chuckles]
Do you want some?
[both laugh]
- [Eun-o] Let me try. - [Jae-won] Okay.
- [Eun-o] Here? - Put them here. Slow down.
Faster? Here I go.
[both laugh]
I almost fainted.
- [Jae-won] I'll let go now. - No, not yet. No.
- Ready? I'll let go. - Not yet. Come on.
No. [laughs]
[both cackle]
[both] Let's go!
[screams]
[both laugh]
[exclaims]
[Eun-o] Okay. Here I go.
One, two, three.
Strike a pose. [giggles]
One, two, three.
- [camera shutter clicks] - Got it? Hmm.
[Eun-o] How pretty.
- [Jae-won] One, two, three. - [camera shutter clicks]
- [shrieks] - [laughs]
Huh? I'm bleeding. Look.
- Where? - Oh.
- I lied. - "I lied"?
[both laugh]
[clacks]
WE GOT MARRIED
[camera shutter clicking]
- Adjust the focus, so the building… - It's in focus.
- It's focused? - Have a look.
Let me see.
- It's totally out of focus. - [Eun-o] Jae-won!
- Come on out now. - What is it?
- [giggles] - What are you doing?
Come on, don't film me. I look puffy.
[Eun-o] Put your hand down. Look over here. Smile.
- [groans] - You look great.
- Wait, hold on. - What?
- We can't take selfies with a manual. - One, two, three.
[sighs] So I don't have the cameras because…
they're with her.
Mm.
She really loved them, so I just gave them to her.
- Hey there. - Ta-da.
Ah! Thank you. Thank you. [giggles]
[Kyeong-jun] Nah, I don't believe him.
To get those cameras, he went through a lot.
He gave them to her?
- Jae-won? He did that? - Exactly.
I begged him to let me borrow them, he wouldn't let me.
The Jae-won we know would've bought her a new one, right?
This woman, Seon-a, is the one who has the cameras now?
[Kyeong-jun] All three of them?
He really gave her all three? He said that?
Whoa. Jae-won is unnecessarily romantic.
Fine. I'm unnecessarily romantic.
Happy now? [groans]
Whatever. Anyway, I'm really curious about what she did with my cameras.
[tongue clicks]
I bet she stole the cameras from him and sold them.
Come on, she didn't sell them? [sighs]
If she happens to be watching this interview…
I would like to tell her this.
Can I? Can I?
WHAT?
Okay. [sharp inhale]
[clears throat]
[exhales] Here I go.
OKAY, SURE
Hey.
Did you really sell my… cameras?
TO YOON SEON-A
If you did happen to do that…
what did you do with that money, huh?
Did you buy food? Did you go drinking? Shopping?
Why in the world are you doing this to me, huh?
You know, you shouldn't do this. You can't toy with a person. It isn't right.
[exasperated sigh] Damn it.
[exhales]
Why did you do all this?
For two months, I was in love with him.
[sighs]
Just thinking about it pisses me off.
Everything was a lie.
[Eun-o] But my love for him…
[exhales] I mean…
Please just find her. Her name's Yoon Seon-a.
She's pretty, but mean.
[laughs]
Jeez. What a pathetic boy.
[instrumental music plays]
PRETTY BUT MEAN
[Eun-o] I was sincere back then.
But that doesn't matter now.
It's all in the past.
I won't look back on my past.
My present matters the most now.
O3 MARKETING AGENCY
We threw out the trash today, right?
You ask me that every day.
Trash on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
I was craving pasta today. Thank you.
Hey, make sure you eat before you have that.
No. Let me take care of my precious skin first.
It'll be ready soon.
[Eun-o exhales]
- Are the noodles well done? - Throw it.
[snips]
Look. [grunts]
[splats]
They need more time. [chuckles]
[scoffs]
[Eun-o] What are you doing? That's gross.
Excuse me? This is how Italian chefs test pasta.
How would you know? I worked at a restaurant that serves all kinds of…
All kinds of what?
- No, never mind. - [chopsticks clack]
- [Geon] Do you want some wine? - Sure.
I didn't chill it yet.
I'll put it in the fridge.
Just chill it with ice.
[Geon] By the way, what's this in the drawer?
There's some weird stuff.
[drawer opens]
Aren't these film rolls? Are these used?
Why would you put them in there?
That's a perfect fit. All right.
- Why did you put them in there? - I don't want the colors to change.
I'll develop them at my regular photo studio in Seoul once I go back.
Hmm…
The colors don't change in there?
If you keep them at room temperature, they'll change,
but not as much if you put them in there.
- Why? It's interesting? - Mm.
Don't take them out and eat them when I'm gone.
- [zipper rasps] - [both chuckle]
I'm going to check.
- How many are there? - Thirteen.
Why are you putting them back in there, huh?
- Why? Why? Why? Why? - To eat them, okay?
They taste better when they're fresh.
[Geon] You have a camera?
- You don't have a film camera. - The garlic's burnt. Throw it out.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Ahh. What a waste.
[Seon-yeong] So Kang Geon is living with a woman?
I know. He's living with Eun-o.
We broke up because of her.
She is the reason.
[indistinct chatter]
I really think…
they'll end up getting married someday.
Mm.
- [man 1] Okay. Good work. - [man 2] Good work.
- [Kyeong-jun] Good work. - [woman 1] Good job.
- [woman 2] Bye. - [man 3] See you later.
[indistinct chatter]
- Where are you going? - Well…
Hey, wait. Is the building in Sangam-dong done?
- Yeah. Why? - I wanna take pictures.
- Please. Leave that to the experts. - [Jae-won] Yeah, yeah.
He's always asking for trouble. Hmm.
[plastic crinkles]
So I took them a year ago, so the colors might have changed.
Well, some people like for their photos to have a fady look.
Did you store them in the fridge?
Yes.
Do you want them as computer files, or shall I scan them?
- No, develop them, please. - All of them?
Yeah. One of each.
[exhales]
Uh, I heard you're the best photo developer in town.
What?
Oh, well… [chuckles]
- A lot of experts come to my studio. - Ah.
Uh…
How long will it take?

It's… [groans]
[rasps]
[clonks]
[claps]
[grunts]
[exhales] All right.
It's finally day one.
The wood is here.
I thought about using balsa, but it was too expensive.
Oak is too knotty and too heavy.
So I decided to use paulownia wood.
So starting today,
I'm going to be teaching you how to make a surfboard from scratch.
["Let Me Love You" by Yurisangja playing]
[sighs] All right. Today,
I'll begin by making a rough sketch on the plank,
and then I'll cut it with a jigsaw.
Okay.
All right.
Your shift starts soon, so I'll end here.
Uh, today,
we're going to attach the ribs on the stringer.
Uh, making a frame that will go into the board.
Oh, right.
I forgot to tell you.
These here are our boards. They're ours.
[Jae-won] You know, making surfboards looks easy, but it's actually really hard.
I'm going to work on the surfboard rails today.
It takes about two hours until the glue hardens.
I have to wait two hours for each one to dry.
[phone alarm chiming]
[wood creaking]
[rasps]
- [grunts] - [fridge closes]
You're seeing how hard this is, right?
It takes a tremendous amount of effort to make one surfboard.
Just so you know.
- [chuckles] - [Jae-won] I gotta say,
it's been so hard trying to hide this from you.
Honestly, I'm not sure if you'll like your board.
Just know I'm doing the best for you.
So the next thing is…
- [Eun-o] What are you doing? - Here… What?
You have another order for wood boards?
Yes. Hold on.
[whispers] My plan.
[Jae-won] Let's go inside. Here we go.
Slowly.
Guess where we are.
- Where are we? What is this? - [laughs]
- [Jae-won] Where are we? - [sniffs]
- [Eun-o] Your workshop. - [Jae-won] Yes.
[Eun-o] It smells like your workshop.
Ta-da.
- What? It's your workshop. - Yeah.
- And surfboards. - Yes, surfboards.
How many do you see?
- Two. - Yes, there are two. Hmm?
So what?
"So what?"
Hmm?
[deep inhale]
As, I see. Do you want me to help you sand the surfboards?
[puffs] No, that's not it.
Look at the surfboards. There are two here.
Why two boards? They're for us.
They're matching surfboards. I made them from scratch.
I secretly worked on them while you were sleeping.
Before you woke up and went to work, I did this on my own. It was hard. Yeah.
[chuckles] I did.
Incredible.
Mm. Yes. "Incredible."
That's it?
Well…
Uh…
[smooches, chuckles] So what do I have to do?
Well, we're gonna draw on the surfboards.
This is yours. And this is mine.
- Whoa! - Isn't this great?
- Thank you. - [both laugh]
