Synopsis: Filmmaker Jo Moon Kyeong is going to leave Seoul to live in Canada. Days before his departure, he meets his close friend and film critic Bang Joong Sik on a nearby mountain. They both drink makgeolli, a traditional Korean alcoholic beverage. After a few rounds, they find out that coincidentally they have both been recently at the same small seaside town of Tongyeong. They decide to reveal their accounts of the trip while drinking, under the condition that they only stick to pleasant memories. Not realizing that they were in the same place, at the same time, and with the same people, the two men's reminiscence of a hot summer unfolds like a journal of memories.

With who?

Get back, now!

I'm sorry.

I'll come right back.

I have to go back.

See you another time.

Wow, really?

You're incredible.

It's good it didn't happen.

Cheers.

Cheers.

I asked a friend to come down.

Arranged it to fit with

her vacation.

She'd always wanted to

see Tongyeong.

What's that?

What is it?

A gift.

Is it a paperweight?

To think of me when you read.

I will.

But I don't read much.

You don't?

You silly.

Should we get married?

Silly.

So you were with your girlfriend.

It's been six months.

What does she do?

- A flight attendant.

- I see. Cheers.

You're amazing.

Cheers.

Admiral Y's headquarters

was on Hansan Island

To find out more about him,

make sure you visit.

It's only 30 minutes by boat,

and the fare is cheap.

- I have a question.

- Yes.

Did he really save the country?

Sorry?

History is full of fabrications,

and we tend to mystify

historical figures.

Right...

But we don't just call him a hero.

We call him a holy hero, right?

Records show that even

his enemies respected him.

He never lost a single battle.

Japan even gave orders to

avoid the admiral.

We didn't win

because of China's help.

We won because he had

complete control of the seas.

To be honest,

we're so selfish.

Dying for the greater good

is a joke now.

But he really did it.

A life sacrificed

in the spirit of justice.

An almost divine sense of purpose,

and a superb ability

to realize his goals.

A true blessing to our people.

You can try to undermine him

with such words.

Yes, that's what you just did.

But if you were to

meet him in person,

he'd be too brilliant

for you to even look at.

I'm not putting you down.

We'd all be the same.

I didn't mean to undermine him.

When we say heroes don't exist,

there's self-hatred

in what we say.

Isn't there?

That's why I'm so angry

about our lives.

I believe in him, I do!

In the fact that he was

a beautiful human being.

I'm sorry.

I'll stop now.

Oh, dear.

Hello.

Hi.

I really enjoyed your speech.

It was great.

No, I said too much.

I want to give you this.

What is it?

A gift.

Thank you for that speech.

It's pretty.

Gave her the beads

I had on me.

Glad I had them.

- You wanted to give her something?

- Yes.

I loved how she talked.

- Drink up.

- Cheers.

Looks like the outdoor

poetry reading is canceled.

Should I not go?

But what would I do?

I'm thinking...

Should I just tell him?

I'll be here at the hotel.

You have fun.

Why do you want to go?

You're not a poet.

I'll go to the beach.

It's dangerous by yourself.

Jeongho has something

to give me.

He's a poet, so he wouldn't care.

He'd understand

since he's an artist.

Introduce me to a friend, for once.

What would I say?

Why do you love me?

You're the prettiest

in the world.

The cutest...

And the most clever.

I mean it.

Really?

I'm not that pretty.

I'm just plain,

and I'm not that clever.

- Am I clever?

- Yeah.

There's nothing vain about you.

You know what you want.

That's clever.

Thank you for loving me.

Gosh...

You're the best.

Others don't even compare.

- Really?

- Really.

It felt incredible

being with her that morning.

Gave me the chills.

I walked in the rain, too.

My senses were reborn.

That's what she does to me.

- Let's drink!

- Cheers!

Seongok!

- Oh, my.

- Did I startle you?

Did you follow me?

- How creepy!

- I'm sorry.

I was just happy to see you.

But why follow me?

It's scary.

I didn't know what to say.

You're so strange.

Are you really a professor?

Actually, I was fired.

I haven't made films yet

and I don't have much money.

Stop joking around.

Do you have something to say?

I didn't know

when I first saw you,

but it was so nice

watching you walk today.

You're very cute.

It's raining and windy, so...

You should go.

I have things to do.

We'll talk later?

Good seeing you,

and I'm sorry.

You're Jo Munkyung, right?

Yes!

The name, Wang Seongok...

It's very cute!

- We both have good memory.

- We do.

- Well, bye.

- Bye.

Seongok!

- It's me.

- Coming.

Come on in.

So windy today.

He had the same hat as mine.

A boyfriend?

- I guess so.

- Never saw her again?

You first.

Let's take turns.

Sure. Why not?

- Bottoms up.

- Cheers.

''The ginkgo tree was absorbed

in abandoning itself''...

''Rain fell and winds blew''...

My friend brought

another woman.

Oh, right.

I forgot to bring

what I meant to give you.

It's fine.

- Your girlfriend?

- Yeah.

I'm not sure yet,

but she's a good person.

A man has to

make up his mind.

But it's hard.

Sleeping with someone

is a real decision.

But there's no desire.

- You?

- Yes, me.

As if I forgot how to do it.

Have you been

drinking too much?

- No.

- You haven't done it yet?

- Once, sort of.

- Be nice.

Seems to really like you.

She's so chic.

Thanks, but don't tell anyone.

Word spreads like wild fire.

I won't.

You two were talking

the whole time.

I'm sorry.

- She's right.

- Bad manners.

Recite some poetry for us,

professor?

I don't know any by heart,

but I can play piano.

Sure.

An impromptu piece.

Great guy, except for

the delusion that he can play.

It's beautiful.

A great piece came out that day.

Wish I could remember it.

You had a great time.

I can't forget my time

in Tongyeong.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

That was good.

It's famous globefish soup.

It was great.

You're a good cook, Mom.

The cook made it, not me.

Where do you go during the day?

The Sebyeong annex, mostly.

It's nice.

I used to go there often.

Really?

Mom...

How do you feel about Dad now?

What?

Do you remember

anything nice about him?

No.

Really?

Not even one little thing?

No, nothing.

Everyone has

at least one good point.

Tell me one thing.

He wasn't good at much,

except chasing after women.

He chased anything

wearing a skirt.

There's one.

Do you wear the hat I gave you?

- The hat?

- Do you wear it?

I can't wear that.

It's for kids.

Give it back, then.

I love that hat.

Take it, then.

Where is it?

I need it for the rain.

At home, maybe.

Get a new one.

It makes you look like a bum.

- I'll buy you one.

- Is it at home?

- Probably.

- All right.

''As moonlight shines

on Hansan Island,''

''alone I sit in deep agony

with a sword at my side.''

''The distant melody of a flute

makes my heart ache.''

Admiral Yi!

I love you, sir!

- Have a seat.

- I couldn't!

I wish you were still with us!

It's okay,

so have a seat.

- You're Jo Munkyung, right?

- Yes.

Be my strength, Admiral.

I'm so lost, sir.

They always lie

and they're so stupid.

I have no strength.

Endure it.

You just have to keep going.

How can I,

when it's so hard?

You have eyes, right?

Yes, sir.

See with your eyes

and you'll get the strength.

Don't see with

the thoughts of others.

Believe your own eyes.

See this?

- Yes, they're leaves.

- No, they're not.

What are they?

If they're not leaves...

Without a name,

it draws a blank.

Other things come to mind.
