[Original Film directed by Rene Liu]
- Thank you.
- No problem.
Excuse me.
I think you're sitting in my seat.
Pardon?
No. 30 is my seat.
Oh, mine is the aisle seat? Sorry.
No, no, no! It's okay.
You can sit there.
- No. 31 is my seat.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
We'll be departing now.
Please fasten your seat belts.
That was a close call.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
- Here.
- Thank you.
- Is this me?
- No.
No, it's not you.
Yes, it is.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. I'm flattered.
Everyone, there's a landslide.
I can't go any further.
It'll take about 2 hours
to clean up and such.
Please call someone
to come and get you.
What if there's no one to call?
Then you'll have to wait here.
May I have your attention, please.
Our flight has been canceled due to
inclement weather in Incheon.
We apologize for...
Please follow instructions
off the plane
and we will assist with flight changes
at the counter.
This way, please.
Hey,
could you step aside?
Ah, okay.
I'm done filming.
Okay.
Can you give me
that drawing from earlier?
The drawing? Don't worry,
I got rid of it already.
I actually wanted it
but alright.
Hey.
Hold on.
Thanks.
No worries.
Lee Eun Ho!
Dad, the mountain's collapsed!
I knew this would happen someday.
Get in, quickly!
Good grief. What happened?
Hold on.
Hey.
Yes?
Uh
Come in.
Okay.
Looks like Kathleen passed through
here smoothly,
but things don't look good for Korea.
I heard it's the strongest typhoon
in 80 years.
The night market must be ruined.
Night market?
There's a night market
across from the hotel here.
Been there?
Yes, and to the river
and the temple on the other side.
There was a temple too?
Really...
It's good to see you.
Me too.
It's been a long time.
You want to get off
at the bus terminal?
Yes, sir. Thank you.
Is this your hometown, Jeong Won?
I wasn't born here,
but I grew up here.
It's your hometown, then.
You both started college in '06?
Eun Ho, she's the same age.
Dad, I went to college 2 years late.
Let's just go quietly.
Jeong Won, aren't you hungry?
I'm okay, sir.
Eat before you go.
I run a restaurant.
I don't mean to brag,
but it's famous here.
Dad, just go to the terminal.
- Should I stop babbling?
- Please.
One bite and you'll know
this is the local favorite!
She's busy.
No, I'm not.
What's your main dish?
Spicy seafood noodles!
Wow!
This is on the house.
Wow!
I cut 'em up real good.
- Thank you, sir!
- Sure.
What are you doing?
Come here and eat.
How is it?
It's delicious!
Wanna take some home?
No, it's okay, sir.
Eat up.
Eun Ho, when should we go see
your mom?
Let's go tomorrow morning.
Think it'll rain again?
The urn's inside. It'll be okay.
I meant your mom loved the rain.
She's beautiful.
I look like my mom.
You look like me!
Please don't say that.
- What are you here for?
- To do the dishes.
Stay out.
Leave it.
Wipe the table instead.
Did you draw all this?
I drew some of them
and mom drew the rest.
Our styles are similar.
You're an art major?
No, computer engineering.
What?
Jeez.
Eun Ho. Can you open this?
- Ow, my wrist.
- Can't even open this?
What the heck?
Let me try.
Wow!
[Eun Ho's Diner]
I should've packed you some food.
No, it's okay, really.
Come back anytime.
Thank you, sir.
Be careful riding.
Drop her off safely.
- Thanks. Take care.
- Bye.
[Evergreen Orphanage]
Aren't you going?
Right. Bye.
Hello.
May I help you?
Is the director here?
She went home for vacation.
Home?
Yes, her home.
This isn't her real house, you know.
By chance, are you from here?
Then come in.
The other caretakers are here.
No, it's okay.
Please give this to the kids.
You shouldn't have.
Thank you!
- All done here?
- Yup.
I wonder when the sun will go down.
Let me drive.
Get in the back.
What?
- Do you know how to ride?
- Yup.
Grab on.
Tight!
What does it feel like
to go back home?
Feels like... getting tired of
spicy seafood noodles?
I want to build my own house.
A house?
Oh, really?
I want to make a game.
What? A game?
Yes.
Games can have multiple endings.
I want to have
all kinds of fun endings.
That's why you're studying
computer engineering?
Yeah.
Why are you majoring in social welfare
instead of architecture?
Because it got me a scholarship.
I have no choice.
What are you doing?
- Making a wish.
- A wish?
From when the sun touches the sea
to when it disappears,
say your wish 100 times
and it'll come true.
- You believe that?
- It's true.
It works.
I got into college, didn't I?
What am I, a sacrifice offering?
You didn't know?
It's time!
Jsonsoft?
You work at a nice company.
You being here doesn't feel real.
Almost like you're CG.
Yeah, it brings back old memories.
Right.
Still searching?
I told you, you won't find it today.
[CYWORLD]
[Searching: Han Jeong Won]
Give it up and join the game.
Let's start without him.
- One on one?
- Sure.
Burgers?
- Winner buys.
- Okay!
Ready!
Strike one.
[Title: Love is Like Spring Rain]
Strike one.
- Strike two.
- Wait! No!
[Anpoong Gas Station]
- Ready.
- Hold on.
- Start!
- Seung Chan.
Do it again!
- Want me to buy gas?
- What?
- What gas?
- I'll buy.
Hold on.
Kyung Seok, which is better?
On or off?
Off.
- Is that her?
- Act like it's a coincidence.
Act natural.
- Calm down.
- Don't worry.
How much would you like?
$5, please.
$5?
Hey!
Wish girl!
Spicy noodles!
- You work here?
- Spicy noodles?
Why'd you come?
I came to get gas.
Seoul is tough for everyone.
For people who weren't born here,
it's 10 times harder.
After years of wandering,
I want to settle down somewhere.
Soju, please.
Seoul is too hard and cold
like a concrete floor
for me to get in and take root.
Still, I'll have my own place someday.
[Make 10 Million With A Game]
[National Univ. Game Contest]
Hey, wish girl!
- I'm Oh Kyung Seok.
- Hi.
Game start! Game start!
Numbers four and five!
One!
Oops!
- Wait. Is it this way?
- That's right.
[Jeong Won]
Here, sir.
All done, sir.
I want to get into a big company!
Silicon Valley, wait for me!
I want to live in America!
My own house in Seoul!
What? That's it?
What a small dream!
No way! That's not small!
- It's not!
- It's not!
Make $10 million with my game!
- Make 10 million?
- Are you sure?
- I can make $10 million!
- Do it!
Come on!
It's raining!
- It's raining! Let's go!
- Hurry!
Let's go!
Where are you going?
Somewhere nice.
- Where?
- Seum.
What's that?
It's an architecture club.
A senior member is buying drinks
to celebrate getting a job.
Which senior?
- Like you'd know.
- Wanna come?
Nah, why would I?
I'm familiar with architecture.
Engineers use the term architecture
for software structure too.
Thank you.
Applause!
Wait.
- Gameboy? The gamer?
- Yes.
I've heard much about you.
Everyone! Who got into Gaudi,
one of the top 3 architectural firms?
The hero of our club Seum!
Let's hear from Kang Min Jae,
a future star architect!
Applause!
Thank you!
Thanks everyone.
Today, it's on me.
Eat all you want.
Let's all toast to Seum.
Let's go!
Let's soar!
Seum!
Keep an eye on Yoon Jin.
Jeong Won.
I saw your designs last time.
You're not an architecture major,
but you got talent.
- I do?
- Yes.
I was really surprised.
If you had majored in it,
you would've been outstanding.
Really?
So, can I give you more tips?
I'd love that, but you're busy.
Of course, I can make time for you.
Thank you.
- No need to thank me.
- Hey.
Are you crazy?
Don't eat the shell.
What?
We eat like this in my hometown.
Wanna go out with me?
What?
I swear I'll be good to you.
Bastard.
Jeong Won!
Got a smoke?
- No. Damn it!
- Do you smoke?
Where do you live?
Tell us where you live.
- Tower
- What?
Tower Pal
Where are you going?
[Neighborhood Patrol]
Let's leave him here.
They'll take him home.
No!
Oops. Sorry.
Stop it!
Come inside.
Damn!
Lend me the money, asshole!
What the fuck!
I'm on the phone here!
Don't mind that.
If it gets worse, call me.
Then what?
Just come to my place.
The key is under the tree pot.
Get going, then.
Right.
Let me rest first.
I'm exhausted.
I'll stay for a bit.
I'm beat.
You like this architecture boy?
No. I just think
being an architect is cool.
It's amazing how
they build homes by hand.
He's a newbie, not an architect.
He'll probably just be carrying planks.
But if you dive into architecture,
I know you'll make it
as an architect.
Not everyone can do that.
You need a degree
in architecture,
and at least 5 years of work experience
at a firm to qualify for the exam.
Is it that tough?
He said he'd be good to me.
Even give you his heart?
Why would I need his heart?
It's not like I have a heart condition.
It's a metaphor.
- You're poetic?
- Of course.
So, are you gonna date him?
Not sure.
If I had a girlfriend,
I'm going to treat her like a queen.
But you don't.
I can dream, can't I?
You should go.
Hi!
Sorry! I was stuck in traffic.
I'll go and change.
Sure! Go ahead.
[Game Club, Bullizzard]
Sea...
The sea?
Jeong Won wanted to get some air.
I can show her the caf
that I designed, too.
Spending the night?
- What?
- Nothing.
- Ready?
- Let's go.
Come on.
Thanks.
You just need to cover until 12.
See ya.
Min Jae, hold on.
Hey! Do I look pretty?
Not bad.
See ya!
- You go in first.
- No, you go ahead.
Come and sit for a meeting.
We got 2 weeks till the contest.
- You say it.
- No, you say it.
What is it?
- Eun Ho, I've been thinking.
- Right.
The contest is important.
We know...
We should also think about
what happens if we fail.
So?
We thought it'd be more realistic
to manage our grades from now on.
Hey, that's your excuse
for betraying me?
- What?
- Betray?
You too?
At first, I thought he was crazy,
but it's actually quite logical.
Right.
You can't make $10 million
on a salary, guys.
What about dealing stocks
with your pay?
- Not a bad idea.
- Right?
Jeong Won!
Jeez!
I can't breathe.
Did you drink?
Why is your face so red?
Kyung Seok and Seung Chan...
Just forget it.
My place is a bit messy.
Hold on.
Want some water?
- No, it's okay.
- Okay.
- Can I put this here?
- Sure.
Why aren't you asking?
What?
Why we broke up.
I'm sure you had your reasons.
I met his mom.
She lives by the sea?
We met by chance.
She asked about my background.
I told her honestly that I'm an orphan
and I live in a tiny dorm.
Then her face turned red
and she started crying.
She pitied me.
What the hell?
Then she went on and on
about stuff.
The gist of it was
that I don't need to be rich,
but a good upbringing matters.
Well, I think that too.
But what can I do?
Min Jae just sat there
with his mouth shut.
Back in my room,
through the tiny window,
sunlight was coming in,
just the size of my palm.
Even sunlight...
I can only get this much.
Just a handful.
Damn assholes!
How dare you!
So, I got sad.
That's it.
You can have it.
I'll stay here
until I find a place.
I'll pay half the rent.
Don't you dare try to rip me off.
Okay.
I'll pay half the utilities and...
Jeong Won.
I'm glad you came.
Coming.
What brings you here?
Hi, Eun Ho. You were home.
Yes.
My laptop is wacked again.
Girlfriend?
We're bosom buddies.
Bosom buddies?
Bosom?
It crashed and froze.
It did?
Yeah.
You can just reinstall Windows.
Want me to do it?
Yes, do it.
Okay.
Need to backup anything?
No, just do it.
Okay, then.
- Wait, please.
- Sure.
Sorry.
Baby!
Coming.
Eun Ho.
Just do it for me.
I'll back up everything.
Thanks. See ya!
"Eun Ho, just do it for me."
Gross.
Why? She's cute.
Cute? That's cute?
Want me to point out details?
Those aren't prescription glasses?
Maybe you should wear glasses
to help with your taste in men.
- Why you!
- Ow!
You can take the bed.
No, you can.
I'm fine here.
You take it.
But it's your bed.
Sleep on the bed.
Thanks.
Lights out.
Okay.
Dang.
Wanna listen to this?
Sure.
[Love is Like Spring Rain...]
This is my profile background song.
Really? I love this song.
- Really?
- Totally.
I won't ask why you're leaving
Because I know
you don't love me anymore
Nowhere in your broken heart
I know my love has no place to stay
Love is like spring rain
that drenches my heart
And leaves memories
that can't be erased
Now, I...
By the way,
I threw out your red briefs.
What?
You farted big holes in them.
I'm jinxed without 'em for the contest.
When did you chuck 'em?
Two days ago?
What the heck?
That's crazy!
Here comes a car.
Jeong Won!
Why didn't you take my calls?
I know I shouldn't do this.
But I got this for you
a long time ago.
Please take it.
Please?
What should I do?
Why are you asking me?
Ask the rabbit.
What should I do?
Throw the necklace out.
Are you jealous?
Do you want me to be jealous?
What? I know you like me.
Nope. You're not my type.
What is your type then?
My type?
I'm so sorry.
If it wasn't for me,
you could be in her room.
I told her 3 times
that we're just friends,
and she took it literally.
How tragic.
We should do something.
Let's attack them too!
Eun Ho! We're friends!
- Don't do it. Stop!
- We can't!
If I do it by myself,
they'll think you're done.
- No! Eun Ho!
- Jeong Won!
Oh, no. Big mistake.
What do we say
when we meet them?
I'll be known as a sexy guy
around here now.
So, how've you been?
It turned out better than I feared.
But if I had the chance to go back,
I don't think I would.
Really...
I've thought about going back
at least once.
To when?
I'll go at Lunar New Year.
- Did you get it?
- What?
- You know.
- The contest?
Yeah.
Why all the interest?
I'll win next time. Bye!
I didn't expect to be this busy
on the last day of the year.
Too bad.
- Is this it?
- Yup.
Have fun with your friends.
Why do you look so pretty today?
Son of a bitch.
Go safely.
Yeah, watch the stairs.
Take care!
Where? Yeah, I'll be there soon.
Okay, I'm on my way.
- I'm buying again?
- Hi!
- Oh!
- Wow!
Did you straighten your hair?
Yeah, Min Jae likes straight hair.
Looks good on you.
Guess you'll do whatever he says.
So devoted.
Got your hair done?
I straightened it.
- Looks weird.
- Hey!
It looks pretty!
Why aren't you with Min Jae tonight?
He has to work.
Really?
His company makes him work
on December 31st?
How would a part-timer know?
- Right.
- We know stuff like that.
Ouch.
- What happened with that contest?
- Right! Got the results?
- Did you win?
- What happened?
You can lose your ideas
to big companies in those contests.
There's an overseas website
called Sting.
You can post games there
and make it big if it's a hit!
Right.
Jeong Won is right.
- Wow.
- Right!
No need to get discouraged, man.
Hang in there and keep at it!
Right!
Keep trying
like buying lottery tickets!
- You can make it!
- Yeah!
Get up, guys!
We're not ending 2009 like this.
Yoon Jin is buying!
- What?
- You are?
- Suddenly? I am?
- Really?
- Korean BBQ!
- Yes!
No way! Come back here!
Tell me I love you, Tell me I need you
I want to hear it every day
Every day shines like a star
It's lucky to meet you
I feel in your heart,
I feel in your love
The little heart inside me is trembling
I've fallen for your sweet smile...
Love love love
I wake up feeling good
Like anything is possible
Someday I hope you will look back
I'll wait forever behind you
From the bottom of my heart,
I want to say
I love you
- Happy New Year!
- Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Bye!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Hey.
- Let's run!
- Run?
Wait up!
Really? Why didn't I notice?
Yoon Jin didn't notice
and neither did you!
Look, let's go over there!
- Hurry!
- What's that?
They're filming people here.
Come on!
- Where is the camera?
- Wow, it's cool.
What about us?
- Look! It's us!
- Wow!
- Did you get it?
- I did.
There we are!
Like spring rain
that drenches my heart
And leaves memories
that can't be erased
Look, look! I win!
Hold your breath game!
Start!
Stop!
Flowers bloom by the pavilion
Hoorah!
Kang Min Jae, go to hell.
Look at me.
Jump! Jump!
[Bosingak Bell, Seoul]
So many people!
Just think good thoughts.
Only good things.
- Eun Ho.
- What?
Listen.
2009 was taken over by
all the happy bastards.
Yeah.
Miserable folks
became even more miserable.
- Right.
- Does it make sense?
It makes no sense.
Nonsense.
- Jeong Won.
- Yeah?
2009 was our build-up year.
Right.
In 2010, let's show 'em
how hard we worked.
How much we deserve success!
Let's show 'em all.
I'll show it to you first
and foremost, you know?
Eun Ho...
I know you'll make it big.
Jeong Won...
You're going to be really happy,
you know?
Yup.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six...
Five, four!
Three, two!
One!
Happy New Year!
I wish you many blessings.
- You too.
- Thanks.
I just
Wait.
Please leave a message after the...
Yoon Jin, is Jeong Won with you?
No, I'm with my family.
It's New Year's Day. Why?
Ah, nothing. Bye!
[Eun Ho]
Jeong Won! Where are you?
Why didn't you answer the phone?
I found a place to stay.
Are you kidding me?
How can you just come and go
like a motel room?
Jeong Won?
Han Jeong Won?
If you're gonna leave,
come and take your stuff.
Or I'll throw it away.
Eun Ho.
Can you keep being friends with me?
No.
See?
That's why I can't go back.
What? Why is that...
Hello?
You were so cruel back then.
You vanished for a week.
What? I don't remember.
I was so frustrated,
I even called... what's his name...
Kang Min Jae! Remember him?
I even called up Kang Min Jae.
Kang Min Jae?
Right.
It was your first time then...
My first time?
Why do you think that?
It's true! When I unbuttoned
your shirt, you flinched.
Right. It was my first time.
You couldn't unbutton my shirt.
Hey, that's memory manipulation.
Well, you edited the memory.
If that didn't happen,
would we have stayed friends for life?
Not sure...
Why? Regret it?
No.
[Evergreen Orphanage Closure]
Came alone?
Eun Ho is really busy these days.
Is he that busy?
- Thank you.
- Take care!
He's rushing to develop a game
before school starts again.
It'll go well this time.
If the game does well,
can he make a good living?
Totally! Don't worry.
All I want is for him to make a living
and stay healthy.
Back in grade 6,
Eun Ho begged like crazy
for a game CD.
When I said no,
he cursed and ran away.
He was gone for 3 days.
You didn't scold him?
Well, I always put
family harmony first.
Take this and eat it with Eun Ho.
But...
Did you two fight?
No. Why would we fight?
Lee Eun Ho!
Why'd you come when you're busy?
What are you doing here?
Me?
Eating soup.
- What is it?
- What?
Forget it. Happy New Year.
Hey!
Don't yell at me.
You know why we won't work.
Why not, huh?
We're no help to each other.
I have to graduate
and get a job.
What's in your heart?
How do you really feel?
Scared.
Scared of what?
Scared I'll have nowhere
to go back to.
If I lose you, I won't have
anywhere left to return to.
Why would you lose me?
If we break up, we can't go
singing or drinking together.
I can't go to your diner.
I swear I'll be good.
That's it?
What? You need more?
Say you'll give me your heart.
I'll give you my heart.
- Pretty good, huh?
- Totally!
Pay me.
- It's pretty.
- Yup.
- Look over here.
- Okay.
Excuse me. Are you the owner of
that Porsche?
Yes, that's me.
I drive the Mercedes over there.
Mind moving your car?
My bad.
This is our future house.
There's something here. Look.
What? Where?
There's more!
- You make curls like this?
- Yup.
- Twirl it around.
- Like this?
That's it!
- Twirl it fast like this?
- Yes!
It feels good!
- I'm with a customer. Call me later.
- Great!
What a great story.
What's it about?
"it's a key element
in the notation system."
- Don't sleep.
- Right.
[Free to Take]
Tired?
- Jeong Won.
- Yeah?
You're pushing, right?
- Eun Ho! Jump with me!
- No way.
Come on! Get up!
Energy potion!
- What?
- My potion.
All charged!
Good as new!
Hot, isn't it?
Should we get air conditioning?
Install five to get surround cooling?
How about this?
Let's move into the house
I'm building downtown.
Okay.
How about having kids too? Three?
- No!
- Why not?
I'm busy with
the Paris Architecture Expo.
Why don't you drop this term
and prepare to transfer?
Major in architecture.
Get your architect license.
Get started.
You can do it!
I can't afford the tutoring classes.
I'll invest and support you.
But you have to build me
a huge house,
one with a stunning garden,
and my lady over it.
Can you do that?
Yes!
This is nice.
- Eun Ho.
- Hmm?
Even if we break up,
let's see each other sometimes.
But we're not breaking up.
Come here.
Get some sleep.
Go with the trend.
Why insist on games like this?
Why be so artistic?
This won't sell these days.
[Transfer Prep Academy]
Lee Eun Ho!
Didn't study much?
Why are you so light?
I studied!
- Really?
- Yup.
Then let's take a cab.
Crazy? Let's just wait for the bus.
No, we can take a cab.
Why? Did your senior alum
like your game?
He loved it,
so I changed things a bit.
I'll take it to lots of companies,
then choose.
Right.
You'll make it big. Don't worry.
Of course.
Let's take a cab.
Taxi!
Taxi!
Why is it so blurry?
You must've had trouble seeing.
You have diabetes too, right?
Glaucoma can be slowed down,
but it's impossible to cure.
You could lose your eyesight.
Let's do a thorough examination.
- Jeong Won!
- What?
Think you can work at the show house
and study for the TOEIC too?
There are tests every year.
I can take it next year.
Working at the show house
counts as architecture experience too.
This is about my dad.
I'll take care of it.
Stop acting like a stranger!
If I break my leg and can't move,
would you just leave me?
- That's totally different.
- It's the same!
If I get a job,
I can get a loan, so study.
I don't want you to quit your game!
I want to help.
What in the world?
Seriously! What in the world!
Are you crying?
No.
Hand.
Touched, huh?
Your eyes are teary.
No! Maybe a little.
A break from school?
- Accepted!
- Pardon?
- Hello.
- Hi.
This is your seat.
Run Away!
Jsonsoft's "The Angel War Chronicle."
Just copy it enough not to get caught,
and write a plan for a game.
Copy it, sir?
Welcome.
Jeong Won, here.
How was it?
Something shocking happened.
What?
Hwan Soo told me to...
Speed dial 1 is Eun Ho and 2 is me.
3 is the village chief.
Put you in number 1
and Eun Ho in 2.
- Right. I'm first, right?
- Of course.
I'm home.
Eun Ho.
Eun Ho?
I love you.
Jeong Won, it's Min Jae.
Our company is taking placements.
Call me if you're interested.
Thank you.
I got the sink clog fixed.
I paid $90 for it.
Sure, I'll send you my bank info.
Renew the lease? Of course.
More deposit?
Lee Eun Ho!
I can't decide that by myself.
I'll talk to my friend
and be in touch.
Damn it.
- Hungry?
- Yeah.
- Let's eat.
- Okay.
Oh, my.
Why are you so late?
I got off late
because of a rude customer.
Not because you met someone?
Who?
It's nothing.
Here, I'll do it.
I can do it!
- I'll do it.
- It's okay.
- You can't.
- I'll do it!
- Give it.
- I'll do...
What's the matter with you?
The landlord wants
to raise the deposit.
That's why you're stressed?
Yup.
It's okay.
With you, it doesn't matter where.
Hmm?
By the way,
Jeong Won,
if I ever bump into you by chance,
I really wanted to ask you something.
What is it?
Hold on.
Daddy! Why aren't you coming?
Da Eun!
Why aren't you here?
Daddy's airplane got delayed.
I'm coming tomorrow morning.
Is it raining there?
Here? No, it's not.
Really?
It's late. Go to bed, sweetie.
No! Show me the outside.
Outside?
Out the window!
What if it's raining again?
But it's dark out.
Show me.
Show me! Show me!
Let's go and see it.
Hurry up!
Here.
Oh?
Look.
It's all black.
Right.
I can't see anything.
I told you it's black.
I'll be home tomorrow.
Okay.
See you.
Love you, Daddy.
I love you, too.
Daddy kiss!
You gotta kiss too, Daddy.
Bye! Good night!
Bye.
Ouch.
Hold on.
Try lifting this side?
That's it.
It won't work.
- I think it can go in.
- No way.
Just throw it out.
Move over. Let me try.
Come on.
- Ouch!
- Why you!
Look how big it is!
It won't fit! Don't be stubborn.
Damn.
I'll get the ointment.
It's okay. I'll get it.
Coming for Thanksgiving?
I can't. I'm busy at work.
I gotta go.
Jeez.
Finished?
You gave it to me yesterday.
Though it's copying,
it takes time, sir.
Instead of submitting
trash like this,
you could've finished it!
Look.
[Game Development Plan - Finding Jane]
I want to make cool games too.
You're not the only one
who wants to look cool!
But we can't, so we don't!
If you wanna make money,
shut up and do what you're told.
Why? Don't wanna do it?
Stand up.
Get up, you bastard!
Sir!
How dare you glare at me,
you crazy bastard!
Aren't you going to apologize?
Let go of me!
Say you're sorry!
Sorry, sir. I apologize.
- Let go!
- I'm sorry.
Why didn't you pick up the phone?
It's okay.
Text me later. Bye.
Who was it?
Kyung Seok.
Give me that.
Aren't you too busy to
come here?
He took the day off work.
The company can't run without him.
Don't worry.
[- Sorry, I have no extra money either.
- Never mind.]
Any plans to settle down
and get married?
You're out of fashion these days
if you get married early.
Just thought I'd ask.
But if you start saving together...
You got it all wrong, Dad.
Who gets married
without a house these days?
And Jeong Won may not want to.
Oh! I made beef bone
soup that Jeong Won likes.
Wait here.
It's okay, really.
Don't test my patience.
Don't take it, then.
Sir!
- I dropped it.
- Oh, no!
I told you to close the shop!
How can you cook
with your eyes like that!
Move!
Who asked you to help?
Lee Eun Ho!
Quit that damn company.
Report it to the Ministry of Labor.
What about the bills?
Go back to making your game
or work for a real game company!
Just do anything but this!
Jeong Won, that's what I want
to say to you.
Did you give up on architecture?
Love that show house job?
Then keep at it.
Who says I love it?
I'm working there for you.
Don't say that
you're doing it for me!
You heard from Min Jae, didn't you?
He said he'd help you
with a placement?
Just do that.
I won't stop you.
I did get that text,
but I didn't reply.
Call him and do it.
Don't blame me later,
just do it.
Aren't you coming?
You doubted me?
No, that's not it.
I didn't mean that.
I'm so sorry.
There's nothing I can do for you now.
Let go.
Come on. That's not it.
Stop!
Look at me. Please!
I'm really sorry.
I made a big mistake.
I must've lost my mind.
What a crazy jerk.
Eun Ho!
I hate that I'm crying more
ever since I started seeing you.
Jeong Won. Look at me.
I'm sorry.
Jeong Won, please.
I'm sorry.
Why did I say that?
I'm sorry, Jeong Won.
I'm exhausted, Eun Ho.
Run Away!

Mr. Jung Hong Jin.
Yes, I made it to the final round.
I see.
[Eun Ho]
- I love the cabinets.
- Nice, huh?
I want a place like this.
- And put furniture like this?
- Let's move to the next room.
[Hansung Games: You

[Eric and Jane's History]
What do you think?
It's nice
But why does the plot feel so flat?
It'd be more fun with some crisis.
Everyone says the same thing.
I keep hearing that kind of comment,
but I don't want to
make stories like that.
Still, a good story needs the character
to struggle a bit.
- Eun Ho.
- What?
Though it may seem boring,
let's live peacefully.
[City Recycling]
What happens if Eric can't find Jane?
It'll be a sad ending.
Well
Then the world turns black and white.
You're good at finding me.
You always run away
just enough for me to find you.
I didn't run away. I left.
Why did we break up?
Is this on sale for 1 plus 1?
Yes.
Eun Ho!
- What?
- Hey!
Eun Ho!
Hey!
Jeong Won!
Hi!
What's with the uniform?
It's good to see you.
Cheers!
[Restaurant Management]
I had no idea whiskey tasted this good.
Eat all you want.
I got lots there.
Your place is nice.
Do you own it?
It's in my name,
but my parents bought it.
I'm drowning in debt.
Look. I brought this.
- Cover model!
- Hey!
- When did you bring that?
- It's his dad.
You're a chef?
You couldn't even make ramen.
I'm just a figurehead.
My dad is the real boss.
I just go and look around
the restaurant.
I'm sick of living like a loser.
Still, I'm so jealous!
- Don't take it for granted.
- Right.
- Eun Ho.
- Yeah?
- Come here.
- Okay.
It's been so long. Join in.
First time seeing the Han River view.
- Nice, huh?
- Yeah.
I heard seeing the river view
for too long can be depressing.
Remember our club room?
- Bullizard!
- Bullizard!
Make $10 million!
- That was just crazy.
- Right.
You can't make $10 million
by making games.
But we had ambition and passion!
- Only because we were young, man.
- Right.
- Clueless.
- But it was fun.
Eun Ho? Wanna grab one more drink?
- Another one?
- Yup.
Let's go!
Are you mad about something?
No.
You seem like it.
That uniform...
Don't wear that aside from work.
They'll look down on you.
Why aren't you developing your game?
Eun Ho.
You'll make it big. I know it.
Can you please stop saying that?
Did you do that on purpose?
What the hell?
I was just sitting!
Son of a bitch!
Get lost!
- Come here!
- Bastard!
- He hit me first!
- Son of a bitch!
What's wrong with you!
Let go! Damn it!
What the fuck did I do wrong!
I did nothing!
Why me!
I was staying still!
Why hit me!
If you want to hit someone,
just hit me!
Hello.
Sorry, we couldn't go this time.
It's okay. Don't worry.
I called Eun Ho several times,
but he didn't answer.
He must've been busy.
Applying for jobs takes work.
He went to study now too.
Alright. Take care, Jeong Won.
We'll go down for Thanksgiving.
- See you.
- Bye.
[Cheer up, Eun Ho]
They said it'll rain today.
Jeong Won.
Eun Ho.
I forgot the past
and you did too.
We're both much better off now.
I know.
But what if
we didn't move to that old house.
Would we still be together?
No.
We would've stayed together
for a year or so.
Then what if
you waited for me?
If you waited for me till the end?
Then you wouldn't have finished
your game.
Then...
What if we just got married?
We would've gotten divorced.
That's enough, Eun Ho.
Wait! Just one more.
Just one last question.
That day...
What if I got on the train?
What if I stopped you?
Then...
I would've stayed with you.
Forever.
No. We would've broken up eventually.
Because...
You let the fan blow only on you.
How petty.
I...
I let you slip away.
I let go of you.
No, we let each other go.
And it was the right choice.
I don't regret it, Eun Ho.
[Kimchi, Squid Dish]
Romance movies always frustrate me.
[Cheer Up, Eun Ho] They're like
fools who only wake up after it's over.
I was one of them.
Still, I believed someday
I could make things right.
So I held on, hoping I could fix things.
Jane is a good wizard who manages
all the colors in this world.
- Okay.
- But the demon king takes Jane.
Then what?
The colors are gone.
Now, it's the final stage.
The demon king is up ahead.
Jane is tied up and screaming
for help to save her.
- Okay.
- Now what?
Rescue her!
Right!
Jane! Hurry! Let's go!
Run away!
- Save me!
- Let's go! It's chasing us!
- Hurry!
- Nice! Kick it!

Hello!
[Congratulations on your acceptance
to Dep. Of Architecture]
As I achieved things little by little,
I realized
Our time together has passed.
Us, as back then, are long gone.
[CYWORLD]
There's no turning back.
[Shut Down Notice]
There's no turning back.
Dad, we said we'd come down.
Why come all this way?
[Closed Until Further Notice]
Jeong Won.
You know that me, back then
really loved you, right?
I know.
Me, back then,
really loved you too.
I wanted to give you everything.
I received it all.
I have something to say.
Back then,
thank you for being my home, Eun Ho.
Take care, then.
By chance,
can you give me your address?
I have something to send.
I knew you'd make it.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
[From Lee Eun Ho]
[Dear Jeong Won]
Jeong Won,
how are you?
You come to mind
around this time every year.
I ended up making your favorite dishes
again this year.
Recently, I heard from Eun Ho
that you two broke up.
I loved seeing you
enjoying my food.
Now, I have no way to share it.
It'd be great if relationships
could last forever,
but it's hard not to let
each other down.
People's feelings and lives
are bound to change.
But that's okay.
It's truly okay.
[Dear Jeong Won] I don't
know if you'll ever get this letter,
but please know that you were dear
to me and to Eun Ho.
No matter what choices you make
and how you live,
I know you'll do well, Jeong Won.
Wherever you are,
make sure to eat well.
If you ever want some of my cooking,
come by anytime.
Stay healthy and happy.
[Would you like to see the ending?]
I forgot my wish long ago.
What I remember is
that we had dreams then.
That we made wishes together.
That once we were us.

Heavy rain of between 200
and 480 millimeters has fallen.
Due to this, floods and landslides
caused at least 86 power outages
and affected more than 140 homes.
Beware of landslides while traveling

[Original Film directed by Rene Liu]
- Thank you.
- No problem.
Excuse me.
I think you're sitting in my seat.
Pardon?
No. 30 is my seat.
Oh, mine is the aisle seat? Sorry.
No, no, no! It's okay.
You can sit there.
- No. 31 is my seat.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
We'll be departing now.
Please fasten your seat belts.
That was a close call.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
- Here.
- Thank you.
- Is this me?
- No.
No, it's not you.
Yes, it is.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. I'm flattered.
Everyone, there's a landslide.
I can't go any further.
It'll take about 2 hours
to clean up and such.
Please call someone
to come and get you.
What if there's no one to call?
Then you'll have to wait here.
May I have your attention, please.
Our flight has been canceled due to
inclement weather in Incheon.
We apologize for...
Please follow instructions
off the plane
and we will assist with flight changes
at the counter.
This way, please.
Hey,
could you step aside?
Ah, okay.
I'm done filming.
Okay.
Can you give me
that drawing from earlier?
The drawing? Don't worry,
I got rid of it already.
I actually wanted it
but alright.
Hey.
Hold on.
Thanks.
No worries.
Lee Eun Ho!
Dad, the mountain's collapsed!
I knew this would happen someday.
Get in, quickly!
Good grief. What happened?
Hold on.
Hey.
Yes?
Uh
Come in.
Okay.
Looks like Kathleen passed through
here smoothly,
but things don't look good for Korea.
I heard it's the strongest typhoon
in 80 years.
The night market must be ruined.
Night market?
There's a night market
across from the hotel here.
Been there?
Yes, and to the river
and the temple on the other side.
There was a temple too?
Really...
It's good to see you.
Me too.
It's been a long time.
You want to get off
at the bus terminal?
Yes, sir. Thank you.
Is this your hometown, Jeong Won?
I wasn't born here,
but I grew up here.
It's your hometown, then.
You both started college in '06?
Eun Ho, she's the same age.
Dad, I went to college 2 years late.
Let's just go quietly.
Jeong Won, aren't you hungry?
I'm okay, sir.
Eat before you go.
I run a restaurant.
I don't mean to brag,
but it's famous here.
Dad, just go to the terminal.
- Should I stop babbling?
- Please.
One bite and you'll know
this is the local favorite!
She's busy.
No, I'm not.
What's your main dish?
Spicy seafood noodles!
Wow!
This is on the house.
Wow!
I cut 'em up real good.
- Thank you, sir!
- Sure.
What are you doing?
Come here and eat.
How is it?
It's delicious!
Wanna take some home?
No, it's okay, sir.
Eat up.
Eun Ho, when should we go see
your mom?
Let's go tomorrow morning.
Think it'll rain again?
The urn's inside. It'll be okay.
I meant your mom loved the rain.
She's beautiful.
I look like my mom.
You look like me!
Please don't say that.
- What are you here for?
- To do the dishes.
Stay out.
Leave it.
Wipe the table instead.
Did you draw all this?
I drew some of them
and mom drew the rest.
Our styles are similar.
You're an art major?
No, computer engineering.
What?
Jeez.
Eun Ho. Can you open this?
- Ow, my wrist.
- Can't even open this?
What the heck?
Let me try.
Wow!
[Eun Ho's Diner]

Aren't you going?
Right. Bye.
Hello.
May I help you?
Is the director here?
She went home for vacation.
Home?
Yes, her home.
This isn't her real house, you know.
By chance, are you from here?
Then come in.
The other caretakers are here.
No, it's okay.
Please give this to the kids.
You shouldn't have.
Thank you!
- All done here?
- Yup.
I wonder when the sun will go down.
Let me drive.
Get in the back.
What?
- Do you know how to ride?
- Yup.
Grab on.
Tight!
What does it feel like
to go back home?
Feels like... getting tired of
spicy seafood noodles?
I want to build my own house.
A house?
Oh, really?
I want to make a game.
What? A game?
Yes.
Games can have multiple endings.
I want to have
all kinds of fun endings.
That's why you're studying
computer engineering?
Yeah.
Why are you majoring in social welfare
instead of architecture?
Because it got me a scholarship.
I have no choice.
What are you doing?
- Making a wish.
- A wish?
From when the sun touches the sea
to when it disappears,
say your wish 100 times
and it'll come true.
- You believe that?
- It's true.
It works.
I got into college, didn't I?
What am I, a sacrifice offering?
You didn't know?
It's time!

- It's raining! Let's go!
- Hurry!
Let's go!
Where are you going?
Somewhere nice.
- Where?
- Seum.
What's that?
It's an architecture club.
A senior member is buying drinks
to celebrate getting a job.
Which senior?
- Like you'd know.
- Wanna come?
Nah, why would I?
I'm familiar with architecture.
Engineers use the term architecture
for software structure too.
Thank you.
Applause!
Wait.
- Gameboy? The gamer?
- Yes.
I've heard much about you.
Everyone! Who got into Gaudi,
one of the top 3 architectural firms?
The hero of our club Seum!
Let's hear from Kang Min Jae,
a future star architect!
Applause!
Thank you!
Thanks everyone.
Today, it's on me.
Eat all you want.
Let's all toast to Seum.
Let's go!
Let's soar!
Seum!
Keep an eye on Yoon Jin.
Jeong Won.
I saw your designs last time.
You're not an architecture major,
but you got talent.
- I do?
- Yes.
I was really surprised.
If you had majored in it,
you would've been outstanding.
Really?
So, can I give you more tips?
I'd love that, but you're busy.
Of course, I can make time for you.
Thank you.
- No need to thank me.
- Hey.
Are you crazy?
Don't eat the shell.
What?
We eat like this in my hometown.
Wanna go out with me?
What?
I swear I'll be good to you.
Bastard.

- No. Damn it!
- Do you smoke?

No!

I'm on the phone here!
Don't mind that.
If it gets worse, call me.
Then what?
Just come to my place.
The key is under the tree pot.
Get going, then.
Right.
Let me rest first.
I'm exhausted.
I'll stay for a bit.
I'm beat.
You like this architecture boy?
No. I just think
being an architect is cool.
It's amazing how
they build homes by hand.
He's a newbie, not an architect.
He'll probably just be carrying planks.
But if you dive into architecture,
I know you'll make it
as an architect.
Not everyone can do that.
You need a degree
in architecture,
and at least 5 years of work experience
at a firm to qualify for the exam.
Is it that tough?
He said he'd be good to me.
Even give you his heart?
Why would I need his heart?
It's not like I have a heart condition.
It's a metaphor.
- You're poetic?
- Of course.
So, are you gonna date him?
Not sure.
If I had a girlfriend,
I'm going to treat her like a queen.
But you don't.
I can dream, can't I?
You should go.
Hi!
Sorry! I was stuck in traffic.
I'll go and change.
Sure! Go ahead.

I can show her the caf

- What?
- Nothing.

- Let's go.
Come on.
Thanks.
You just need to cover until 12.
See ya.
Min Jae, hold on.
Hey! Do I look pretty?
Not bad.
See ya!
- You go in first.
- No, you go ahead.
Come and sit for a meeting.
We got 2 weeks till the contest.
- You say it.
- No, you say it.
What is it?
- Eun Ho, I've been thinking.
- Right.
The contest is important.
We know...
We should also think about
what happens if we fail.
So?
We thought it'd be more realistic
to manage our grades from now on.
Hey, that's your excuse
for betraying me?
- What?
- Betray?
You too?
At first, I thought he was crazy,
but it's actually quite logical.
Right.
You can't make $10 million
on a salary, guys.
What about dealing stocks
with your pay?
- Not a bad idea.
- Right?
Jeong Won!
Jeez!
I can't breathe.
Did you drink?
Why is your face so red?
Kyung Seok and Seung Chan...
Just forget it.
My place is a bit messy.
Hold on.
Want some water?
- No, it's okay.
- Okay.
- Can I put this here?
- Sure.
Why aren't you asking?
What?
Why we broke up.
I'm sure you had your reasons.
I met his mom.
She lives by the sea?
We met by chance.
She asked about my background.
I told her honestly that I'm an orphan
and I live in a tiny dorm.
Then her face turned red
and she started crying.
She pitied me.
What the hell?
Then she went on and on
about stuff.
The gist of it was
that I don't need to be rich,
but a good upbringing matters.
Well, I think that too.
But what can I do?
Min Jae just sat there
with his mouth shut.
Back in my room,
through the tiny window,
sunlight was coming in,
just the size of my palm.
Even sunlight...
I can only get this much.
Just a handful.
Damn assholes!
How dare you!
So, I got sad.
That's it.
You can have it.
I'll stay here
until I find a place.
I'll pay half the rent.
Don't you dare try to rip me off.
Okay.
I'll pay half the utilities and...
Jeong Won.
I'm glad you came.
Coming.
What brings you here?
Hi, Eun Ho. You were home.
Yes.
My laptop is wacked again.
Girlfriend?
We're bosom buddies.
Bosom buddies?
Bosom?
It crashed and froze.
It did?
Yeah.
You can just reinstall Windows.
Want me to do it?
Yes, do it.
Okay.
Need to backup anything?
No, just do it.
Okay, then.
- Wait, please.
- Sure.
Sorry.
Baby!
Coming.
Eun Ho.
Just do it for me.
I'll back up everything.
Thanks. See ya!
"Eun Ho, just do it for me."
Gross.
Why? She's cute.
Cute? That's cute?
Want me to point out details?
Those aren't prescription glasses?
Maybe you should wear glasses
to help with your taste in men.
- Why you!
- Ow!
You can take the bed.
No, you can.
I'm fine here.
You take it.
But it's your bed.
Sleep on the bed.
Thanks.
Lights out.
Okay.
Dang.
Wanna listen to this?
Sure.
[Love is Like Spring Rain...]
This is my profile background song.
Really? I love this song.
- Really?
- Totally.
I won't ask why you're leaving
Because I know
you don't love me anymore
Nowhere in your broken heart
I know my love has no place to stay
Love is like spring rain
that drenches my heart
And leaves memories
that can't be erased
Now, I...
By the way,
I threw out your red briefs.
What?
You farted big holes in them.
I'm jinxed without 'em for the contest.
When did you chuck 'em?
Two days ago?
What the heck?
That's crazy!
Here comes a car.
Jeong Won!
Why didn't you take my calls?
I know I shouldn't do this.
But I got this for you
a long time ago.
Please take it.
Please?
What should I do?
Why are you asking me?
Ask the rabbit.
What should I do?
Throw the necklace out.
Are you jealous?
Do you want me to be jealous?
What? I know you like me.
Nope. You're not my type.
What is your type then?
My type?
I'm so sorry.
If it wasn't for me,
you could be in her room.
I told her 3 times
that we're just friends,
and she took it literally.
How tragic.
We should do something.
Let's attack them too!
Eun Ho! We're friends!
- Don't do it. Stop!
- We can't!
If I do it by myself,
they'll think you're done.
- No! Eun Ho!
- Jeong Won!
Oh, no. Big mistake.
What do we say
when we meet them?
I'll be known as a sexy guy
around here now.
So, how've you been?
It turned out better than I feared.
But if I had the chance to go back,
I don't think I would.
Really...
I've thought about going back
at least once.
To when?
I'll go at Lunar New Year.
- Did you get it?
- What?
- You know.
- The contest?
Yeah.
Why all the interest?
I'll win next time. Bye!
I didn't expect to be this busy
on the last day of the year.
Too bad.
- Is this it?
- Yup.
Have fun with your friends.
Why do you look so pretty today?
Son of a bitch.
Go safely.
Yeah, watch the stairs.
Take care!
Where? Yeah, I'll be there soon.
Okay, I'm on my way.
- I'm buying again?
- Hi!
- Oh!
- Wow!
Did you straighten your hair?
Yeah, Min Jae likes straight hair.
Looks good on you.
Guess you'll do whatever he says.
So devoted.
Got your hair done?
I straightened it.
- Looks weird.
- Hey!
It looks pretty!
Why aren't you with Min Jae tonight?
He has to work.
Really?
His company makes him work
on December 31st?
How would a part-timer know?
- Right.
- We know stuff like that.
Ouch.
- What happened with that contest?
- Right! Got the results?
- Did you win?
- What happened?
You can lose your ideas
to big companies in those contests.
There's an overseas website
called Sting.
You can post games there
and make it big if it's a hit!
Right.
Jeong Won is right.
- Wow.
- Right!
No need to get discouraged, man.
Hang in there and keep at it!
Right!
Keep trying
like buying lottery tickets!
- You can make it!
- Yeah!
Get up, guys!
We're not ending 2009 like this.
Yoon Jin is buying!
- What?
- You are?
- Suddenly? I am?
- Really?
- Korean BBQ!
- Yes!
No way! Come back here!
Tell me I love you, Tell me I need you
I want to hear it every day
Every day shines like a star
It's lucky to meet you
I feel in your heart,
I feel in your love
The little heart inside me is trembling
I've fallen for your sweet smile...
Love love love
I wake up feeling good
Like anything is possible
Someday I hope you will look back
I'll wait forever behind you
From the bottom of my heart,
I want to say
I love you
- Happy New Year!
- Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Bye!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Hey.
- Let's run!
- Run?
Wait up!
Really? Why didn't I notice?
Yoon Jin didn't notice
and neither did you!
Look, let's go over there!
- Hurry!
- What's that?
They're filming people here.
Come on!
- Where is the camera?
- Wow, it's cool.
What about us?
- Look! It's us!
- Wow!
- Did you get it?
- I did.
There we are!
Like spring rain
that drenches my heart
And leaves memories
that can't be erased
Look, look! I win!
Hold your breath game!
Start!
Stop!
Flowers bloom by the pavilion
Hoorah!
Kang Min Jae, go to hell.
Look at me.
Jump! Jump!
[Bosingak Bell, Seoul]
So many people!
Just think good thoughts.
Only good things.
- Eun Ho.
- What?
Listen.
2009 was taken over by
all the happy bastards.
Yeah.
Miserable folks
became even more miserable.
- Right.
- Does it make sense?
It makes no sense.
Nonsense.
- Jeong Won.
- Yeah?
2009 was our build-up year.
Right.
In 2010, let's show 'em
how hard we worked.
How much we deserve success!
Let's show 'em all.
I'll show it to you first
and foremost, you know?
Eun Ho...
I know you'll make it big.
Jeong Won...
You're going to be really happy,
you know?
Yup.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six...
Five, four!
Three, two!
One!
Happy New Year!
I wish you many blessings.
- You too.
- Thanks.
I just
Wait.
Please leave a message after the...
Yoon Jin, is Jeong Won with you?
No, I'm with my family.
It's New Year's Day. Why?
Ah, nothing. Bye!
[Eun Ho]
Jeong Won! Where are you?
Why didn't you answer the phone?
I found a place to stay.
Are you kidding me?
How can you just come and go
like a motel room?
Jeong Won?
Han Jeong Won?
If you're gonna leave,
come and take your stuff.
Or I'll throw it away.
Eun Ho.
Can you keep being friends with me?
No.
See?
That's why I can't go back.
What? Why is that...
Hello?
You were so cruel back then.
You vanished for a week.
What? I don't remember.
I was so frustrated,
I even called... what's his name...
Kang Min Jae! Remember him?
I even called up Kang Min Jae.
Kang Min Jae?
Right.
It was your first time then...
My first time?
Why do you think that?
It's true! When I unbuttoned
your shirt, you flinched.
Right. It was my first time.
You couldn't unbutton my shirt.
Hey, that's memory manipulation.
Well, you edited the memory.
If that didn't happen,
would we have stayed friends for life?
Not sure...
Why? Regret it?
No.
[Evergreen Orphanage Closure]
Came alone?
Eun Ho is really busy these days.
Is he that busy?
- Thank you.
- Take care!
He's rushing to develop a game
before school starts again.
It'll go well this time.
If the game does well,
can he make a good living?
Totally! Don't worry.
All I want is for him to make a living
and stay healthy.
Back in grade 6,
Eun Ho begged like crazy
for a game CD.
When I said no,
he cursed and ran away.
He was gone for 3 days.
You didn't scold him?
Well, I always put
family harmony first.
Take this and eat it with Eun Ho.
But...
Did you two fight?
No. Why would we fight?
Lee Eun Ho!
Why'd you come when you're busy?
What are you doing here?
Me?
Eating soup.
- What is it?
- What?
Forget it. Happy New Year.
Hey!
Don't yell at me.
You know why we won't work.
Why not, huh?
We're no help to each other.
I have to graduate
and get a job.
What's in your heart?
How do you really feel?
Scared.
Scared of what?
Scared I'll have nowhere
to go back to.
If I lose you, I won't have
anywhere left to return to.
Why would you lose me?
If we break up, we can't go
singing or drinking together.
I can't go to your diner.
I swear I'll be good.
That's it?
What? You need more?
Say you'll give me your heart.
I'll give you my heart.
- Pretty good, huh?
- Totally!
Pay me.
- It's pretty.
- Yup.
- Look over here.
- Okay.
Excuse me. Are you the owner of
that Porsche?
Yes, that's me.
I drive the Mercedes over there.
Mind moving your car?
My bad.
This is our future house.
There's something here. Look.
What? Where?
There's more!
- You make curls like this?
- Yup.
- Twirl it around.
- Like this?
That's it!
- Twirl it fast like this?
- Yes!
It feels good!
- I'm with a customer. Call me later.
- Great!
What a great story.
What's it about?
"it's a key element
in the notation system."
- Don't sleep.
- Right.
[Free to Take]
Tired?
- Jeong Won.
- Yeah?
You're pushing, right?
- Eun Ho! Jump with me!
- No way.
Come on! Get up!
Energy potion!
- What?
- My potion.
All charged!
Good as new!
Hot, isn't it?
Should we get air conditioning?
Install five to get surround cooling?
How about this?
Let's move into the house
I'm building downtown.
Okay.
How about having kids too? Three?
- No!
- Why not?
I'm busy with
the Paris Architecture Expo.
Why don't you drop this term
and prepare to transfer?
Major in architecture.
Get your architect license.
Get started.
You can do it!
I can't afford the tutoring classes.
I'll invest and support you.
But you have to build me
a huge house,
one with a stunning garden,
and my lady over it.
Can you do that?
Yes!
This is nice.
- Eun Ho.
- Hmm?
Even if we break up,
let's see each other sometimes.
But we're not breaking up.
Come here.
Get some sleep.
Go with the trend.
Why insist on games like this?
Why be so artistic?
This won't sell these days.
[Transfer Prep Academy]
Lee Eun Ho!
Didn't study much?
Why are you so light?
I studied!
- Really?
- Yup.
Then let's take a cab.
Crazy? Let's just wait for the bus.
No, we can take a cab.
Why? Did your senior alum
like your game?
He loved it,
so I changed things a bit.
I'll take it to lots of companies,
then choose.
Right.
You'll make it big. Don't worry.
Of course.
Let's take a cab.
Taxi!
Taxi!
Why is it so blurry?
You must've had trouble seeing.
You have diabetes too, right?
Glaucoma can be slowed down,
but it's impossible to cure.
You could lose your eyesight.
Let's do a thorough examination.
- Jeong Won!
- What?
Think you can work at the show house
and study for the TOEIC too?
There are tests every year.
I can take it next year.
Working at the show house
counts as architecture experience too.
This is about my dad.
I'll take care of it.
Stop acting like a stranger!
If I break my leg and can't move,
would you just leave me?
- That's totally different.
- It's the same!
If I get a job,
I can get a loan, so study.
I don't want you to quit your game!
I want to help.
What in the world?
Seriously! What in the world!
Are you crying?
No.
Hand.
Touched, huh?
Your eyes are teary.
No! Maybe a little.
A break from school?
- Accepted!
- Pardon?
- Hello.
- Hi.
This is your seat.
Run Away!
Jsonsoft's "The Angel War Chronicle."
Just copy it enough not to get caught,
and write a plan for a game.
Copy it, sir?
Welcome.
Jeong Won, here.
How was it?
Something shocking happened.
What?
Hwan Soo told me to...
Speed dial 1 is Eun Ho and 2 is me.
3 is the village chief.
Put you in number 1
and Eun Ho in 2.
- Right. I'm first, right?
- Of course.
I'm home.
Eun Ho.
Eun Ho?
I love you.
Jeong Won, it's Min Jae.
Our company is taking placements.
Call me if you're interested.
Thank you.
I got the sink clog fixed.
I paid $90 for it.
Sure, I'll send you my bank info.
Renew the lease? Of course.
More deposit?
Lee Eun Ho!
I can't decide that by myself.
I'll talk to my friend
and be in touch.
Damn it.
- Hungry?
- Yeah.
- Let's eat.
- Okay.
Oh, my.
Why are you so late?
I got off late
because of a rude customer.
Not because you met someone?
Who?
It's nothing.
Here, I'll do it.
I can do it!
- I'll do it.
- It's okay.
- You can't.
- I'll do it!
- Give it.
- I'll do...
What's the matter with you?
The landlord wants
to raise the deposit.
That's why you're stressed?
Yup.
It's okay.
With you, it doesn't matter where.
Hmm?
By the way,
Jeong Won,
if I ever bump into you by chance,
I really wanted to ask you something.
What is it?
Hold on.
Daddy! Why aren't you coming?
Da Eun!
Why aren't you here?
Daddy's airplane got delayed.
I'm coming tomorrow morning.
Is it raining there?
Here? No, it's not.
Really?
It's late. Go to bed, sweetie.
No! Show me the outside.
Outside?
Out the window!
What if it's raining again?
But it's dark out.
Show me.
Show me! Show me!
Let's go and see it.
Hurry up!
Here.
Oh?
Look.
It's all black.
Right.
I can't see anything.
I told you it's black.
I'll be home tomorrow.
Okay.
See you.
Love you, Daddy.
I love you, too.
Daddy kiss!
You gotta kiss too, Daddy.
Bye! Good night!
Bye.
Ouch.
Hold on.
Try lifting this side?
That's it.
It won't work.
- I think it can go in.
- No way.
Just throw it out.
Move over. Let me try.
Come on.
- Ouch!
- Why you!
Look how big it is!
It won't fit! Don't be stubborn.
Damn.
I'll get the ointment.
It's okay. I'll get it.
Coming for Thanksgiving?
I can't. I'm busy at work.
I gotta go.
Jeez.
Finished?
You gave it to me yesterday.
Though it's copying,
it takes time, sir.
Instead of submitting
trash like this,
you could've finished it!
Look.
[Game Development Plan - Finding Jane]
I want to make cool games too.
You're not the only one
who wants to look cool!
But we can't, so we don't!
If you wanna make money,
shut up and do what you're told.
Why? Don't wanna do it?
Stand up.
Get up, you bastard!
Sir!
How dare you glare at me,
you crazy bastard!
Aren't you going to apologize?
Let go of me!
Say you're sorry!
Sorry, sir. I apologize.
- Let go!
- I'm sorry.
Why didn't you pick up the phone?
It's okay.
Text me later. Bye.
Who was it?
Kyung Seok.
Give me that.
Aren't you too busy to
come here?
He took the day off work.
The company can't run without him.
Don't worry.
[- Sorry, I have no extra money either.
- Never mind.]
Any plans to settle down
and get married?
You're out of fashion these days
if you get married early.
Just thought I'd ask.
But if you start saving together...
You got it all wrong, Dad.
Who gets married
without a house these days?
And Jeong Won may not want to.
Oh! I made beef bone
soup that Jeong Won likes.
Wait here.
It's okay, really.
Don't test my patience.
Don't take it, then.
Sir!
- I dropped it.
- Oh, no!
I told you to close the shop!
How can you cook
with your eyes like that!
Move!
Who asked you to help?
Lee Eun Ho!
Quit that damn company.
Report it to the Ministry of Labor.
What about the bills?
Go back to making your game
or work for a real game company!
Just do anything but this!
Jeong Won, that's what I want
to say to you.
Did you give up on architecture?
Love that show house job?
Then keep at it.
Who says I love it?
I'm working there for you.
Don't say that
you're doing it for me!
You heard from Min Jae, didn't you?
He said he'd help you
with a placement?
Just do that.
I won't stop you.
I did get that text,
but I didn't reply.
Call him and do it.
Don't blame me later,
just do it.
Aren't you coming?
You doubted me?
No, that's not it.
I didn't mean that.
I'm so sorry.
There's nothing I can do for you now.
Let go.
Come on. That's not it.
Stop!
Look at me. Please!
I'm really sorry.
I made a big mistake.
I must've lost my mind.
What a crazy jerk.
Eun Ho!
I hate that I'm crying more
ever since I started seeing you.
Jeong Won. Look at me.
I'm sorry.
Jeong Won, please.
I'm sorry.
Why did I say that?
I'm sorry, Jeong Won.
I'm exhausted, Eun Ho.
Run Away!

have not been selected.]
[Eric and Jane's History]
What do you think?
It's nice
But why does the plot feel so flat?
It'd be more fun with some crisis.
Everyone says the same thing.
I keep hearing that kind of comment,
but I don't want to
make stories like that.
Still, a good story needs the character
to struggle a bit.
- Eun Ho.
- What?
Though it may seem boring,
let's live peacefully.
[City Recycling]
What happens if Eric can't find Jane?
It'll be a sad ending.
Well
Then the world turns black and white.
You're good at finding me.
You always run away
just enough for me to find you.
I didn't run away. I left.
Why did we break up?
Is this on sale for 1 plus 1?
Yes.
Eun Ho!
- What?
- Hey!
Eun Ho!
Hey!
Jeong Won!
Hi!
What's with the uniform?
It's good to see you.
Cheers!
[Restaurant Management]
I had no idea whiskey tasted this good.
Eat all you want.
I got lots there.
Your place is nice.
Do you own it?
It's in my name,
but my parents bought it.
I'm drowning in debt.
Look. I brought this.
- Cover model!
- Hey!
- When did you bring that?
- It's his dad.
You're a chef?
You couldn't even make ramen.
I'm just a figurehead.
My dad is the real boss.
I just go and look around
the restaurant.
I'm sick of living like a loser.
Still, I'm so jealous!
- Don't take it for granted.
- Right.
- Eun Ho.
- Yeah?
- Come here.
- Okay.
It's been so long. Join in.
First time seeing the Han River view.
- Nice, huh?
- Yeah.
I heard seeing the river view
for too long can be depressing.
Remember our club room?
- Bullizard!
- Bullizard!
Make $10 million!
- That was just crazy.
- Right.
You can't make $10 million
by making games.
But we had ambition and passion!
- Only because we were young, man.
- Right.
- Clueless.
- But it was fun.
Eun Ho? Wanna grab one more drink?
- Another one?
- Yup.
Let's go!
Are you mad about something?
No.
You seem like it.
That uniform...
Don't wear that aside from work.
They'll look down on you.
Why aren't you developing your game?
Eun Ho.
You'll make it big. I know it.
Can you please stop saying that?
Did you do that on purpose?
What the hell?
I was just sitting!
Son of a bitch!
Get lost!
- Come here!
- Bastard!
- He hit me first!
- Son of a bitch!
What's wrong with you!
Let go! Damn it!
What the fuck did I do wrong!
I did nothing!
Why me!
I was staying still!
Why hit me!
If you want to hit someone,
just hit me!
Hello.
Sorry, we couldn't go this time.
It's okay. Don't worry.
I called Eun Ho several times,
but he didn't answer.
He must've been busy.
Applying for jobs takes work.
He went to study now too.
Alright. Take care, Jeong Won.
We'll go down for Thanksgiving.
- See you.
- Bye.
[Cheer up, Eun Ho]
They said it'll rain today.
Jeong Won.
Eun Ho.
I forgot the past
and you did too.
We're both much better off now.
I know.
But what if
we didn't move to that old house.
Would we still be together?
No.
We would've stayed together
for a year or so.
Then what if
you waited for me?
If you waited for me till the end?
Then you wouldn't have finished
your game.
Then...
What if we just got married?
We would've gotten divorced.
That's enough, Eun Ho.
Wait! Just one more.
Just one last question.
That day...
What if I got on the train?
What if I stopped you?
Then...
I would've stayed with you.
Forever.
No. We would've broken up eventually.
Because...
You let the fan blow only on you.
How petty.
I...
I let you slip away.
I let go of you.
No, we let each other go.
And it was the right choice.
I don't regret it, Eun Ho.
[Kimchi, Squid Dish]
Romance movies always frustrate me.
[Cheer Up, Eun Ho] They're like
fools who only wake up after it's over.
I was one of them.
Still, I believed someday
I could make things right.
So I held on, hoping I could fix things.
Jane is a good wizard who manages
all the colors in this world.
- Okay.
- But the demon king takes Jane.
Then what?
The colors are gone.
Now, it's the final stage.

Jane is tied up and screaming
for help to save her.
- Okay.
- Now what?
Rescue her!
Right!

Run away!

- Let's go! It's chasing us!
- Hurry!
- Nice! Kick it!

As I achieved things little by little,
I realized
Our time together has passed.
Us, as back then, are long gone.
[CYWORLD]
There's no turning back.
[Shut Down Notice]
There's no turning back.
Dad, we said we'd come down.
Why come all this way?
[Closed Until Further Notice]
Jeong Won.
You know that me, back then
really loved you, right?
I know.
Me, back then,
really loved you too.
I wanted to give you everything.
I received it all.
I have something to say.
Back then,
thank you for being my home, Eun Ho.
Take care, then.
By chance,
can you give me your address?
I have something to send.
I knew you'd make it.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
[From Lee Eun Ho]
[Dear Jeong Won]
Jeong Won,
how are you?
You come to mind
around this time every year.
I ended up making your favorite dishes
again this year.
Recently, I heard from Eun Ho
that you two broke up.
I loved seeing you
enjoying my food.
Now, I have no way to share it.
It'd be great if relationships
could last forever,
but it's hard not to let
each other down.
People's feelings and lives
are bound to change.
But that's okay.
It's truly okay.
[Dear Jeong Won] I don't
know if you'll ever get this letter,
but please know that you were dear
to me and to Eun Ho.
No matter what choices you make
and how you live,
I know you'll do well, Jeong Won.
Wherever you are,
make sure to eat well.
If you ever want some of my cooking,
come by anytime.
Stay healthy and happy.
[Would you like to see the ending?]
I forgot my wish long ago.
What I remember is
that we had dreams then.
That we made wishes together.
That once we were us.
