Thank you. Thank you.
Screenplay & Direction
HONG Sangsoo
It's a wise choice.
And It's cheaper here.
It's good to get back to the guitar.
You played bass, didn't you?
It's beautiful.
Your exams are over.
Let's go walking in the mountains.
Walking?
I don't know.
Keep me posted.
That's typical!
Just say you don't want to come.
Instead of dodging the issue.
It's not that.
Let's go then.
Is walking fun?
Forget it. We'll see.
It's not like before.
You see too many unemployed people,
It's not nice.
Which way are you going?
That way.
OK.
- It's too much.
- Take it.
See you at mom's on Sunday.
Thanks, big brother.
Take care.
I made a detour
to avoid going with my brother..
He had given me 200,000 wons.
For once, I was planning
to spend it all.
Do you work here?
Yes, It's my uncle's shop.
How long has it been?
It's been two years, hasn't it?
I'm so happy to see you!
You don't go to school anymore?
No.
You haven't changed.
Still good-looking.
I have to go back in.
Go on then.
What about you?
What are you doing?
What if I invited you
to a smart restaurant?
To celebrate our reunion.
You're serious? I finish at seven.
Does that suit you?
You'll come back?
You can?
Sure.
You work that late?
I'm paid to.
I wasn't sure I wanted to wait.
I decided to take a walk,
I'd see later..
We haven't eaten for two days.
Will you give me rice for my son?
You again!
When you beg, be polite
and don't stir up trouble!
Take this.
Thank you. Thank you.
Chansong, It's rice. Eat it.
I want some sugared water.
Keep the rice for yourself.
I'm not hungry. Eat.
Chansong!
What's the matter?
- Mom!
- Why?
Mom! I want sugared water.
Here.
What's wrong, my baby?
My son Is sick.
My son Is sick.
It's typhus!
Chansong, say:
mom.Say:
mom!Mom!
Yongsil had waited for me.
We decided to go to a bar
instead of going to eat.
I felt like smoking.
I bought some cigarettes.
Personally...I didn't think
I'd see you again, Sangwon.
Me neither..
It's so strange and unexpected.
Are you mad at me?
Are you mad at me, Sangwon?
Answer. Tell me the truth.
Give that back, It's my glass.
Drink from your own.
Stop it.
We had realized one day
we were drawn to each other..
But things weren't possible
between us.
She was going out
with one of my friends,
so I gave her up.
We'll end up doing something stupid.
Do you want me...
to be your mistress?
Very funny!
Don't laugh, please.
Sangwon!
Do you want me to be your mistress?
Later, if we live apart
if, when I think of the past
I can still tell myself that it was love
That will be enough for me
Now I know
a love that is too deep
Comes to an unhappy end
I shall pray, my love
for my next love
To be different from ours
And so know no suffering
We had obtained permission
to stay out all night.
I was embarassed to hear Yongsil
lie so well on the phone.
Personally, I probably overdid it.
Where shall we go?
Do you want to go home?
I don't feel like it.
But you can if you want.
We decided not to go home.
Do you feel ill?
Are you okay? Do you feel ill?
Are you okay?
Do you want me to hold you?
Yes, please.
Let go of me, I'll do it...
I'll do it.
Sangwon...
Me too...
You're hurting me.
Sorry...
You've had enough, I'm sorry.
Why insist when it doesn't work?
I feel good.
Stay like that.
You're tired.
Why did you leave high school?
My teacher was a pervert.
Always feeling me up...
I see.
How long have you been working?
I couldn't go on doing nothing.
But I'll resume my studies.
I'll get my credits transferred.
I'll learn Japanese.
I'd like to live in Japan.
Come here.
Wiped out by exhaustion,
I had a strange dream.
While looking for the toilets,
I reached a landing.
Do you want an apple?
When I woke, I tried again.
- You're hurting me.
- Sorry.
You're fed up?
No.
But why do you insist?
I'd like to die.
End with a flourish.
Dying would be good.
Why do you want to die?
I don't know... No reason.
I really want to die.
Me too, I want to die.
Are you serious?
Me too, I want to die.
Let's die together.
Let's die clean,
let's not make love.
All right...
Enjoy it.
It's delicious.
it is.
Do you want...?
What for?
if you want to write something.
What are you going to write?
I'll say it all before I die.
I'll dry my hair.
They counted two nights
instead of a day and a half.
We went to several pharmacies
to buy 80 sleeping pills.
You want a coffee?
No, I'm just putting the coins in.
it will make someone happy.
What a nice smell of coffee!
I wanted to be honest with Youngsil.
Wait!
on the tracks.
On our way back up,
I told her:
let's die together..You cry, then you laugh, stupid!
I've never been up there.
Some other time.
- Marlboro reds.
- I don't have foreign brands.
- No Marlboro reds?
- No.
Some "88s" then,
- soju and some dried squid.
- All right.
What are you doing?
Too bad.
They're divided up.
That's a lot of pills.
Youngsil, let's not make love.
We won't go to bed.
You're right.
I'll go and wash.
Okay.
While waiting,
I almost took all the pills.
- Take your shower.
- Yes.
