DONG-SEOK AND SEON-A

PAST WOUNDS ON AN UNEXPECTED ROAD,
YOUR WARMTH IN AN ARCADE ON A RAINY DAY

ABANG SUNDAE

What do you want?

Don't start with me.

I already had a big fight with Hyeon.

I'm too exhausted to fight with you.

Just go.

Are you kidding me?

Get out.

Do you have a damn death wish?

GREAT KING

Sit comfortably.

Drink up.

Let's let the kids…

have the baby.

The two of us

may have to live

the rest of our lives as pathetic losers.

But I don't want…

other people pointing fingers
at our kids--

Who the hell dared to point
their fingers at our kids? Damn it.

We're their fathers.

We worked like dogs to raise them,

so we're allowed
to beat them up and cuss at them.

But others have no right
to criticize our kids.

Who was it?

I'll go over there
and slap some sense into them.

Tell me. Who was it?

Who was it?

Mr. Kim, the blacksmith at the market.

And?

Hye-ja, the haenyeo.

Mr. Jang, the ice seller.

Who else?

You!

You…

bad-mouthed my Yeong-ju
and called her a girl who slept around.

Apologize.

I want an apology.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

You should go now.

I told Yeong-ju to come home.

So you should also…

I mean, In-gown.

You should also forgive Hyeon.

Go home.

And…

forgive me too.

From now on,

I'll treat you like a big brother.

We're not brothers.

We're in-laws now.

You should go, my in-law.

You look exhausted.

Thank you,

my in-law.

Come home right now.

Don't forget to thank Ms. Kang

before you leave.

Okay.

DONG-SEOK AND SEON-A 2

Give me four carrots
and four bundles of spinach.

Okay.

That will be 50,000 won,
including the stuff from last time.

Give me a 5,000 won discount.

Why do you always ask for a discount?

I don't have money.

Then don't eat.

There. 45,000 won's worth.

Unbelievable. Here.

I'm never buying from you again.

-Even if I give you this?
-Goodness.

You should've offered me that earlier.

Thanks.

And you? Hairtail or Spanish mackerel?

Fillet them for me.

My hands aren't what they used to be.

That would normally cost you
an extra 3,000 won.

But I'll do it for free just for you.

Hey, come on. Stop rummaging.

Look at this.

That's not how you do it. This is how.

-Look.
-No, this is how it's done.

It'll be over soon.

Nice, I won. I won this round.

PREMIUM INTERNET CAFE

It was supposed to be harder.

Hey, what's your name?

I asked you a question. What's your name?

Why aren't you answering my question?

I'm a lot older than you.

Hey, where do you live?

You're in middle school, aren't you?

You spend way too much time at the arcade.

You moved here, didn't you?

From Seoul? Busan?

Daegu? Mokpo?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey! I asked you where you're from.

Who was that?

Shut up.

PARK JAE-GU

It's just that

she's always at the arcade
instead of going home,

so I got worried.

Who are you to worry about her?

Hey.

Hey, Lee Dong-seok.

Get up.

Get up, you punk. My brother's waiting.

Look at you ignoring me.
I'm going to count to three.

One, two, three.

-Hey, Dong-seok.
-Come here.

Look at this b*stard.

-You little…
-Take this.

You b*stard. Jeez.

You damn loser.

I'm busy, so let's call it a day.
There's more waiting for you tomorrow.

Damn you.

Let's go.

FRESH MILK

MY TIME CHOCOLATE BAR

Damn it.

-See you, Dong-seok.
-Bye.

ARCADE

Do you want a ride?

You might fall. Hold on tight.

Do you want me to drop you off
at the usual bus stop?

Or your place since it's raining?

My place. Let's take the road
along the coast this time.

-Then you'll get home late.
-It's okay.

Aren't you scared of me?

No, I'm not.

Gosh, it's pouring outside.
Where are you coming from?

Where do you think?
I was out selling stuff.

What did you do with all your money?
Why not buy a house?

You always sleep out,
in your truck, or at this motel.

Gosh, get lost.

What's with all the nagging? Seriously.

Who's that lady in Room 201?

Why are you so curious about her?
She's just a guest at your motel.

No, it's just that

I heard you saved her
from committing suicide.

Why did you have to bring
a woman like that to my motel?

Don't give me that look.

It's not just Pureung-ri.
Everyone in Seogwipo City knows.

That a lady from Seoul jumped into the sea
and was saved by the haenyeos.

Listen.

I can't sleep at night
because of that lady you brought.

You're married.
Why would you lose sleep over her?

Do you have insomnia?

Hey.

That lady in Room 201
isn't right in the head.

I don't know what she's so busy with,

but she leaves at dawn
and comes back late at night.

Every time I greet her and say,
"Good morning, did you sleep well?"

she doesn't respond at all.

She just looks away and smirks.

On top of that,
she left two days ago in her car.

She hasn't come here in three days.

I keep wondering to myself
if that suicidal woman

smoked a briquette in her car this time

or quietly hung herself
inside her motel room…

It's seriously making me
have a nervous breakdown.

Who exactly is that woman in Room 201?

What's your relationship with her?

Bring me the key to her room.

We can't go inside when she's not here.

Will you take responsibility?

If anything happens, it's on you. Hey.

Gosh, that startled me!

Hey, Dong-seok. Check the bathroom…

Dong-seok, is she in there?

SEON-A

Hey. Dong-seok.

Is she not there?

Is she in there or not?

Where are you going? Where…

Gosh. Hey.

Hey! Are you going to look for her?

You can't go looking for her
in this weather!

Just go tomorrow!
Look for her tomorrow once the rain stops!

No one cleans their room like that
before committing suicide!

So just look for her tomorrow!

My goodness, he's so impatient.

Dong-seok, be careful!

DANGER
RISK OF FALLING

SEON-A

-Damn it!
-Goodness, stop!

-Who do you think you are?
-Let him go.

Have you lost your mind?
You lost all of Dad's money!

I want that money back!

Will you please stop?
Every time you drink…

You had the guts to lose…

My dad's fighting with my uncle again.

Can I sleep here?

What are you doing here?

Dong-seok. You loser.

What are you looking at,
you illegitimate b*stard?

Come inside.

I'm done changing.

Dong-seok, do you get beaten up
because you're not strong enough?

Lie down.

I'm strong.

Then why do you let them beat you up?

So that my mom, who's a mistress,

will get heartbroken
after she sees me like this.

But still…

I bet it hurts.

You're shivering.

I won't do anything else.

What if…

someone comes in?

No one in this house

cares about me.

Go to sleep.

SEON-A

What's your problem?

Hey, you called.
I just saw the missed call notification.

Where are you?

The place where I used to live
with my dad.

So am I.

But the houses are gone. It's a ranch now.

Where in the world are you?

Dong-seok.

Dong-seok.

Dong-seok?

Dong-seok.

Dong-seok…

SEON-A

What are you doing?

I didn't know that loser knew
how to hit someone.

-What are you doing?
-Are you going to hit me?

Go ahead and hit me.

-Someone stop him!
-Stop!

I'm in front of Oseong Arcade.

-That's enough!
-Stop!

Officer, please hurry.

-A thug is about to k*ll someone.
-That's enough!

Just stop!

SEON-A

Remember when we were both young

and living in Jeju?

Why did you do that to me?

Was it supposed to be a joke?

Answer me.
Why did you do that to me back then?

-Dong-seok.
-I was just an 18-year-old boy.

I had absolutely no joy in life.

Being with you was the only thing
that made me happy.

So why did you do that to me?

Damn it.

The motel owner is worried that
you're not coming back.

Listen.

If you want to k*ll yourself,
do it somewhere else, quietly.

Why did you have to come to Jeju?

You're messing with my head again.

Do me a favor. I'm asking you this
from the bottom of my heart.

Just stay out of my life!

SEON-A

SEON-A

What do you want?

You asked me why I did that to you

and just left without even
giving me a chance to answer.

Come back.

I'll tell you.

Why I did that to you back then.

Damn it.

Why did you sleep with Jae-gu?

Did you hit on him?

Or did he force you to do it?

Do you…

even know that I loved you back then?

You said you'd answer.

You said you'd tell me why.

I know.

You know?

You knew that,
yet you slept with my friend?

What's your problem?

I couldn't ask the person I loved

to ruin me.

I couldn't

ask the guy

who loved me

to ruin me.

You would've declined.

I may not remember much,

but you were also all I had back then.

And I loved you.

I asked you to go on a trip with me,
but why haven't you replied?

Are you playing hard to get?

What's with that look?

"I'm not ready
to take the next step with you."

Is that what you're saying?

This is boring. Forget it.

What do you think about people
who lie all the time?

I hate them. They're absolutely the worst.

Have you ever lied in your life?

I have.

When I was little.

I only needed 10,000 won for a book,
but I asked my parents for 20,000 won.

And after you grew up?

I'm not sure.

Oh, wait.

I guess I'm lying right now.

The fact that you still haven't given me
an answer about going on a trip together

is really getting on my nerves right now.

And I'm honestly a little hurt,

but I'm acting like I'm fine,
so I guess that counts as a lie.

What's that smirk?

Hey.

If you don't like me that much,
let's just end it here.

-Are you testing the water?
-Yes.

-"Yes"?
-You can do the same with me.

You can't just thoughtlessly trust someone

when they haven't done anything
to gain your trust.

We're not kids.

You have a point.

Let's go on a trip.

-I didn't do anything to gain your trust.
-You did.

-When?
-Just now.

You told me you don't lie.

That's good enough.

You're very peculiar.

Let's go ride a bike at Gapa Island.

Gapa Island sounds great.

Okay.

Meeting someone new and breaking up

Somehow feels like a child's game

It's like the sad story of small fairies

Who travel far away on clouds

Although we can't fly and all we do is cry

Love is like a beautiful dream

What are you all doing here?

Gosh, you guys make a great couple.

-Toward the castle
-We're not a couple.

Bullshit, you crazy brat.

My love for you

We're not a couple.

We had some stuff to talk about
as captain and haenyeo.

Right?

Are you planning an independence movement?

What kind of business do a captain and
a haenyeo have to discuss till this late?

You can't fool me.

Jeong-jun, don't go out with her.

She has a temper and can be really wild.

It's fine. I can live with that.

Goodness, Jeong-jun.

-You're a man. A good man.
-A good man.

Gosh. Enjoy what you have, you brat.

-It's nothing serious.
-Jeez.

Stop lying.

Hey, did you close up the bar properly?

We made 300,000 won tonight.

-My love for you
-See you.

Yeong-ok.

Byeol-i says guys like him are rare.

I think so too.

I want to watch you sleep

Then kiss you and fly away

Although we can't fly
and all we do is cry…

I'm serious. Nothing happened.

Just as Jae-gu started
taking his clothes off,

he stopped and said, "I can't.
Dong-seok will k*ll me if he finds out."

Then he left.

"A thug is about to k*ll someone."
That's what you said that day.

Am I a thug to you?

You looked as if

you were ready to k*ll someone.

It was to make you stop hitting him.

I didn't call the police.

It was just to threaten you.

You were just a 14-year-old girl.

What made you want to ruin your life?

I thought if I acted out,

my dad would come to his senses,

quit drinking,

start working again for me,

stop getting into fights,
and stop being so angry.

I thought

he would take care of me

just like how he used to
when my mom was still alive.

If you were so curious,

why didn't you ask me
when we met each other seven years ago?

I didn't want to ask back then.

But now, I do.

Is that a problem?

I'm starting to crave alcohol.

Go ahead and drink.

Don't you have alcohol in your truck?

I don't drink when I'm with a woman.

To you,

I'm probably just a guy
you once grew up with.

But like always,

you're still a woman to me.

Do you have water?

What?

Nothing.

Being here with you

feels strange,

awkward,

and familiar at the same time.

That's just how I feel.

Just like back then,

you seem rough on the outside,

but you're a warmhearted guy.

What makes you think that?

Because I gave you water?

What kind of life did you live?

You were married,
and you even had a child together.

You should have higher standards.

I guess the sun's coming up.

Let's go see the sunrise.

They must have gotten rid of the house
you used to live in with your stepfather.

Great. I hated that place.

Why did you take pills earlier?
Are you sick?

They're for my depression.

Why? Do you feel depressed?

Yes.

Every day?

No, just sometimes.

Why?

Since when?

Probably since the day my dad died.

The day you beat up Jae-gu,

my dad told me we should go for a drive.

He took me to a beach far away.

He suddenly asked me to buy him bread,
saying he was hungry.

When I came back with bread,

he was already driving his car

into the sea.

I guess my dad was

going through a lot more
than I thought he was.

His business went bankrupt,

he got divorced, and my mom got remarried.

I guess it was all hard to bear.

That day, I went back to Seoul

because my mom came and picked me up.

Life can be funny.

I can't believe I feel comfortable
talking about this.

Maybe it's because it's you.

It's been over 20 years already.
You can't be crying over it till now.

Do you want to be like my mom
who's never happy

and who acts as if she carries the weight
of the entire world on her shoulders?

I find that weirder.

What about you?

When did you leave Jeju?

The same day you did.

I stole all the jewelry and cash
I could find at my stepfather's house

even though my mom was watching,

and I left determined

to never return
to this damned place ever again.

But damn it.

As you can see, I ended up coming back.

Why did you get divorced?

I didn't want to get a divorce
for my child's sake.

But my husband no longer wanted
to deal with my depression.

That's why.

Did he not know about it
when you guys were dating?

He did.

He's a crazy b*stard.

Instead of pitying his wife,
he just dumped you?

He probably said he loved you
just so he could get into your pants.

Then that nasty jerk got sick of you
after you guys got married.

He should've tried harder for the kid.

I might as well just
crack that b*stard's skull open.

You think that's funny?

Gosh.

I get why you have depression.

I wish I could learn to cuss like you.

I bet it helps you feel much better.

What's there to learn? Just cuss.

Call him a crazy b*stard.
Is that so hard to say?

Go ahead. Just say it.

Damned…

b*stard.

You make it sound like a compliment.

You f*cking ungrateful b*stard!

You had her when you wanted her,
and now you just leave?

I'll crack your head open,
you f*cking jackass.

Damn it.

Hey!

You crazy b*stard!

You damn b*stard!

Give me my son back!

Give Yeol back to me!

Give me my son back!

I want Yeol!

Give him back to me!

Give me back my son!

He's mine!

He's my son!

Give me my son back!

He's my son!

f*ck!

You crazy b*stard!

Crazy b*stard!

Let's eat. I'm hungry.

Come here, babies.

All right. It's time for food. Okay.

There you go. Enjoy.

Enjoy your food. Eat up.

Eat up.

It's up to the haenyeos

to decide whether or not
Yeong-ok should leave the team.

Why do you care?

The thing is, I like Yeong-ok.

She likes working as a haenyeo.
She loves the island too.

Hye-ja…

keeps calling Yeong-ok a liar.

But that's because she doesn't know…

Are you going to end it with Yeong-ok
if I kick her off the team?

No.

Then why does it matter?

I don't care if Yeong-ok is a liar or not.

No one in their right mind
would lie for no reason.

If she lied about something,

she probably did it for a good reason.

But if she keeps
harvesting the way she does,

she'll eventually get herself k*lled.

Yeong-ok is too greedy.

She keeps risking her life at sea
just to catch more abalones.

She's just working hard to make money.

Plus, no one will die
as long as you're there.

If anything happens, you can save her.

Just like how you saved me from drowning.

I'm old now.

When we're out in the sea,

you're the youngest
and the fastest among all of us.

Please help Yeong-ok.

I'll help you with that.

Here.

EUNHUI'S FISH MARKET

Watch the door.

-He's a kind kid.
-He is.

-Did you throw up again?
-Don't mind it.

It'll all be over soon.

Goodness.

How did that flower manage
to bloom there all by itself?

-Did you sleep well?
-Yes, totally.

-Give me your bag.
-Okay.

Let's go.

I'm right on time, right?

-Did our baby enjoy breakfast?
-Yes.

I want to live together.

Don't even say that.
Our dads will throw another fit.

I'm just glad that
they let us have the baby.

Do you really not regret quitting school?

Of course, I don't.

Right, I became a full-time worker
at the restaurant yesterday.

Really?

I'll make enough money
for your diapers and powdered milk.

You punks.

What do you think you're doing?

How dare you kids
kiss each other in broad daylight?

You must be out of your minds.

Myeong-bo.

Let them be.

They're a married couple now.

We both approved.

It's mind-blowing, isn't it?

Those two kids are married
and are going to be parents.

They each have a father-in-law now.

I'm just as flabbergasted as you are.

Right, In-law?

Tell me about it, In-law.

Hey.

Go to work.

Unbelievable.

Do you know how to use this?

I used to do interior design,
so I have plenty of experience.

You're my savior.

I'm impressed.
You're stronger than I thought.

I have a question.

A while ago,
you said I was your first love.

Then why were you so appalled
when I kissed you seven years ago?

It was humiliating.

My feelings for you were long gone.

I loved you when I was little.

But seven years ago,

I was in love with my ex-husband,
although we were on a break back then.

Is that so hard to understand?

You're not going to tell me some lie

like, "you were the only woman
in my life," are you?

Dong-seok.

Can you help me with this?

I can't seem to connect them.

It all seems so convenient for you.

When you were little, you loved me.

Seven years ago, you considered me
a guy you once grew up with.

And now, you treat me like I'm a worker.

It must be nice
to think things so conveniently.

PARK HYEONG-SEOP

Why aren't you picking up?

He's a colleague from my old job.

He's calling about a job in Seoul.

I'm not going, so I'm not picking up.

Then was I the only girl

you ever had feelings for?

I did date other women.

But you see,

maybe it's because
I started off on the wrong foot,

but it never really lasted.

I bet you hated me
every time you broke up.

Are you really going to live here

-and pay a year's worth of rent?
-Yes.

That's the plan.

By yourself?

No. With my kid.

Next week, there's going to be
a custody trial in Seoul.

If I win, I'm going
to bring Yeol here right away.

We'll have to stay at a motel for a bit,

but we'll eventually live here.

We'll be happy here.

Yeol and I both.

What if you lose the trial?

That won't happen.

The decision isn't up to you.
It's up to the judge.

Don't you think you might lose?

-No.
-Well, you should think about it.

Answer me this.

If you win the trial
and bring your kid here,

you'll be happy.

But if you lose
and fail to bring your kid here,

does that mean you'll be miserable?

Is that it?

I won't lose.

I'll win the trial.

She's driving me crazy.

How did you end up becoming such a fool?

Because there's no next time.

-Oh, my goodness!
-I got it!

You must really like her.

-Say hello!
-I'm in my camisole!

She's the most loyal person ever.
She's my best friend!

Who's that woman you're seeing?

Despite all those lights,
I can't see any of them.

I'm not telling you not to be sad.

Just don't be sad
all the time like my mom.
