Please let me introduce Beak Hee-soo,
Korea's most prolific woman writer,
Hello,
Welcome,
This is your fourth
best-selling book in a row,
Personally, I envy the fact that
you write a new story every time,
Could you please give us a hint?
On how you write your books?
I always jot down notes,
I write the people and places first
That's how I build them.
If I have an idea to write a story,
I would attach the right characters.
Then they become Iike real people,
With behaviors and thoughts.
I just write the story.
You must be very busy,
With no time to rest.
Even my daughter and
husband are in my notes.
They're all materials.
Some people I met today.
Could also be included.
This new book has been a bestseller
Apart from your previous works,
How did you write...?
Cut!
What's going on?
What's the matter?
How could you do this?
I've told you many times already.
PIease trust me.
Don't bring that up again,
You never even tried to Iisten.
I've never read that book.
I swear!
How long will you keep this up?
You could've made a mistake,
Mistake?
I never make mistakes.
Want me to tell you again?
It was submitted for you to judge,
You read that book!
So you're saying that
I plagiarized?
Quiet! Shut up!
Let's stop,
I'm asking you out of all people.
- Please, stop this,
- Don't you understand me?
You get too obsessed with things,
Just say that you didn't know,
or that it was unintentional!
Written and directed by
LEE Jeong-ho
Baek Hee-soo has written many
Bestsellers for the last 20 years,
But it's been confirmed that
she has plagiarized her latest work,
It was one of the books she
read during a writing competition,
Two years later
It'II be okay once we get there.
Did you see the picture?
This is very important to Mom.
I need a quiet place with no people.
You understand, right?
Is it because of me?
No.
Grown-ups, you see...
Sometimes they don't
want to Iive together.
Then is it because of Mom?
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Your daughter is very pretty.
By any chance,
are you the writer from Seoul?
But I thought you were
coming here tomorrow.
Oh no!
Dad...
You bastard,
the memorial are already over.
The writer is here!
Hurry!
The writer! She's here!
How are you, Ma'am?
What a surprise!
When did you come?
It's the writer from Seoul!
She's beautiful!
PIease come have some food.
Stop talking and go set up a seat.
Hurry and get the food ready.
We ran out of meat.
What do you mean we ran out?
I told you to prepare it
in advance, you idiot!
Shut up and escort her.
We prepared some food
for a memorial service.
Take a Iook at this!
I told him to hang
that up yesterday.
Welcome, Writer Park Hee-soo!
The wind is blowing too much.
We planned to have that
ready before you came.
What's the use now?
I fixed up the house
as much as I could.
It Iooks old, doesn't it?
This house is over sixty years old.
After Korea's independence,
an American missionary named Bates
raised orphans here during the war.
There's no villa Iike this in Korea.
So many writers
from Seoul came here.
The house repairs are almost done.
When it rains, it may Ieak.
That plastic is only temporary.
fix it in a few days.
PIease don't Iet anyone
interrupt me while I'm here.
But we don't know when it'II rain.
No one can defy heaven's will.
Yeah, can't deny the will of heaven.
You damn woman!
I told you not to come here!
Why'd she come here again?
Don't pay any attention to her.
When no one's here,
she comes here and sleeps.
This is a very nice town
to Iive in.
This town got an award
for being crimeless, you see.
Have you seen my daughter?
Yeun-hee.
Yeun-hee!
Yeun-hee!
Yeun-hee!
Yeun-hee!
Yeun-hee!
Yeun-hee!
How could you disappear Iike that?
It's dangerous.
Yeun-hee.
It's a very old place.
It'II be a bit uncomfortable.
No, but I'd Iike to stay.
Okay.
How long are you going to hide?
It's been two years!
I gave you enough time.
Don't worry about those bastards
who claim that it's plagiarism.
Who said it's plagiarism?
Yeah, no one pays attention to
people Iike them.
You know better
so what's wrong with you?
Everyone is on your side.
They're waiting for your next book.
That's not it.
The problem is me.
I can't think of anything.
front of the monitor?
That's because you're always
cooped up in your house.
Writer's block?
That's made to overcome.
Hard to write at home,
isn't it?
At the committee meeting Iast week,
Writers said that
it's the best place to write.
Oh yeah, the next Iiterary award
is still up for grabs.
I've already talked
with the committee.
I assure you that all that talk
about plagiarism will disappear this time.
Where's that picture? Here it is.
Here.
Despite what people say,
I want you to know that
There isn't an editor out there
who cares for you Iike me.
Missionary John Bates Orphanage
Do you Iive here?
What's wrong with your head?
It doesn't hurt?
What song is that?
Why does he always get on my case?
Why are you taking my picture?
Oh, it's the writer Iady
from Seoul.
Is that villa okay?
Be careful.
Yeun-hee.
Hurry and go inside.
My mom is very busy.
Really?
She'II Iike the story?
A dragon?
What's a dragon?
Is it still alive?
But does it hurt if you die?
Don't Iaugh.
A Iost baby bird
Cries because it misses its mom
What are you doing here?
I'm playing with my friend.
Your friend?
Where's your friend?
She's gone.
Where did she go?
Another hypothesis is that
it's an unconscious hypnosis phenomenon.
A book read or
a situation seen before
is recorded in the subconscious.
We delude that
it's our own thought.
Unconscious plagiarism
is quite common.
More cases exist where the person
is unaware of the plagiarism.
Then that must be true
for writer Baek Hee-soo.
- Stop it.
- Why?
That prick.
Change the topic of your Iecture.
What brings you here?
Do I always need a reason
to be here?
Why'd you do such a useless thing?
You heard?
Hee-soo needs to make her comeback.
We can't Iet her rot Iike that.
Don't pull her back in for money.
Hey, I told you that's not why!
A writer who plagiarized
ends up doing it again.
Who says so?
Mozart plagiarized
and so did Einstein.
Hendel is supposedly
the king of plagiarism.
Who hasn't plagiarized once
in their Iives?
Writing is medicine for Hee-soo.
Regretting ruins people.
Two years have passed.
It's time to forgive her.
I'm not interested.
Frankly, you're also worried!
For someone who wants to divorce,
why do you run to her when she calls?
With the passing wind
My mother's voice is being carried
Tweep, tweep
Tweep, tweep
The baby bird stops to rest
