all the troubles I've gone through.

Okay then... Transform!

Frankly, I know the way I'm behaving

now may make you feel even worse.

But you know someone said,

that true heart... can move even the earth.

This one, is for a friend that

I like the most, that's you, Ji-hwan.

I made this hoping you'd

regain your strength.

Even if it's not interesting,

I hope you watch it to the end.

Do you see it?

I'm missing

a leg like you, Ji-hwan.

If you ignore others' glances

as you can see, you can even

play soccer, you can run, too.

I believe you can lead rather

more interesting life than before.

I'm missing a hand.

But I love sports so much

so I compete.

Ji-hwan, you can too.

Just because you're disabled,

that's no reason to get discouraged.

Do your best and your dream

will come true.

Ji-hwan, come on, we are studs.

Let's lead the life to the fullest!

Cheer up, Ji-hwan!

High spirits, Ji-hwan!

LEE Ji-hwan, let's do it!

ONE YEAR LATER.

My friend, JIN Dal-rae...

Ji-hwan, the reason I called you

was not to praise your screenplay.

Key points are kinda vague.

Dialogues are kinda bad too.

Well you're still young

I understand you're just starting out.

Let us take this screenplay.

I will let the scenarist

fix up some things.

Mr. KIM. Bring me

the contract we prepared.

I can't sign the contract.

This screenplay...

cannot be fixed.

This story is...

a story of more than just myself.

Isn't she pretty?

My friend, JIN Dal-rae.

She's not shaking anymore!

It's been awhile since

I saw you smiling.

Huh?

Your mind is always off

to somewhere.

Sorry.

You always say, sorry.

I understand.

A hundred times and more.

Dal-rae... happy birthday.

Stopped keeping in touch

over a year, that's bad.

Sorry.

Too many sights to see in Korea,

I realized.

Seems you've settled down a bit.

Isn't that right?

Just little more soul

searching to do.

Keep in touch, though.

I'll try.

Gotta go to the washroom.

May take a while with this.

No worries.

Okay.

Your birthday present.

Thank you.

And... sorry about tonight.

This... is probably the longest

love letter I ever read.

Huh?

I'll see you.

Written by LEE Ji-hwan.

MYFRIEND JIN DAL-RAE.

I dedicate this screenplay

to my friend Dal-rae.

First Meet.

When I was ten, I was a loner,

only good at fighting.

For the kids,

having no friend feels like

being on a group date and

be the only one without a date

coming back to an empty home

and drinking the night away.

However...

one kid talked to me.

Hey!

That was my friend,

JIN Dal-rae.

Wanna play with me?

I wasn't too pleased.

She had such a beautiful

and bright smile.

I wasn't pleased with that.

- So, I did...

- Peek-a-BOO!

Hey stupid. You should've said,

'PEEK-a-Boo'!

That's how we say it

in our neighborhood.

Where do you live?

Over there.

I live there too,

and we say 'PEEK-a-Boo'!

I still don't know why.

I said it like that.

Except, I know the day

I met that girl

was August 23, 1991,

a bright sunny day

with my heart

beating like crazy

worrying if a frog was

inside me or something.

I have this in my memory.

Here's someone scribbling

something on the wall once again.

That's my dad.

I don't have to say anything,

he just knows.

Thanks to my dad,

no need to reveal

my heart directly to her.

Without him, we couldn't

have been friends this long.

Some people have said,

talking about love,

is that all?

In reality, liking somebody is

the least productive

thing in the world.

It doesn't feed you,

nor does it bring

any money to you.

Sleeplessness causes

loss of productivity,

acting silly all day

and all night

mistaken for being

a mental patient

go through painful jealous

and broken heart

and have 'do you still believe in love? '

Such a stinging words thrown at you.

Yet I... realize when

I love somebody.

I know millions of reasons

for doing it.

First, You realize giving brings

more happiness than receiving.

Second, Instead of bad things,

you get to see good things first.

Third, You can be a child

without a time machine.

Forth, I was often asked

'Do you have something good? '.

Fifth, You would know

how beautiful sky,

star, flowers and trees' are.

You fool! Such a boring story...

who's gonna go see this!

Stupid Ji-hwan, Princess Dal-rae.

Popped again!

Kinda disgusting, yes?

This also has some

good things as well.

No need to serve in military...

No worries about athlete's foot.

And all the attention I get, just like now.

Bus is leaving now.

Smile and good things will happen,

not the other way around.

I miss her.

I'm so missing her.

Mister, stop the bus!

Ji-hwan...

Stop. Don't come any closer.

Told you not to come any closer!

Just stand there.

From now on,

I will go to you.

Bastard.

I almost died from boredom!

Me too.

Ji-hwan...

I'm cold. Hold me close.

It's stupid.

- Ji-hwan!

- Yes sir!

Job well done, Dal-rae.

Thank you.

Not believing without seeing is

really a stupid thing to do.

My dream. Is to become a

'heart-telling' actress.

But I'm so nervous

I may pass out.

I admit, I don't have it in me.

However... I have magical

spell granting all my wishes.

That spell is...

- Fighting!

- JIN Dal-rae, fighting!

My dream is to become

action actor like Jackie Chan.

I know. I can't be an

action actor with my leg like that.

I lost a leg.

However... Thanks to it, I was

able to realize something I didn't know.

Ready to shoot!

That, in this world...

aside from Jackie Chan movies...

plenty of other outstanding

movies exist tool.

Scene 37, Cut 2, Take 1.

Action!

Not believing without seeing is

really a stupid thing to do.

Indeed, I've realized it recently

too, so I can't really blame anyone.

Come on, try to remember!

It's strange.

It's gotta be around here.

Should've marked the place.

Wasting all these hours, searching!

Fine. Just go.

Are you upset?

Forget it.

I'm sorry.

Here, I'll give you

a piggyback ride.

It's okay.

You're in worse shape than I am.

My leg is a Robocop leg.

Didn't you know?

Okay then. Just to get over there,

let me know if it's too much.

It's nice!

- Hey! Watch where you're touching!

- Sorry, did it unconsciously.

Stop it!
