We get ruined by mistakes

at the critical moment.

Anyone who watches it will be

rolling around in the aisles.

That scene alone will bring an extra

million people to the screens.

Do you know what my nickname

was when I was young?

It was boy genius.

I could read comic books

when I was three.

When others were playing

with marbles, I drew comic books.

My uncle saw that

and I should draw

theater signs when I grow up.

I guess people

drawing theaters signs made

lots of money back then.

But then one winter, I think

I was in ninth grade back then,

I was agonizing over this

painful question inside.

Why do we live?

And what should

we do in life?

Then it came to me that

I should be a movie director.

It's because this movie director

in a comic book

I once read looked

so cool and awesome.

But our time has come,

Sun-young.

The dark winter of

our lives is gone,

and the spring is about to

come to our hearts.

On the same day the audiences

come to see our movie,

we will have our wedding

right at the premier.

I love you, Sun-young.

Have some if you're hungry.

It's good.

Notorious bank robber is

local funnyman Lee Jong-sae

Notorious bank robber is

local funnyman Lee Jong-sae

Man, I can see prices are

going through the roof.

Right here. We'll pretend that

our car had a breakdown.

Do-seok will be on the ground

with ketchup on,

pretend to be bleed.

Sun-young will be hysterical,

yelling and calling for help.

Got that?

We get up at eight

sharp tomorrow.

And no breakfast for

you tomorrow, fatso.

I don't want you looking for

a bathroom when you're dying.

- All right.

- Bottoms up!

To our billions!

The bank robbers who have

been on the rampage since

last month turned out to be

Lee Jong-sae, a local comedian.

The police took into

a custody a robber

who stole cash and camera

from Lee Jong-sae's house

while pretending to be cop,

and found that the items

were the same as ones that

were stolen by Lee's gang,

which is certain to expedite

the investigation.

We will now hear

from Lee's victims and

some of the people

who knew him well.

That guy?

He looked so hilarious.

A lot of people come to

just watch the shoot.

I thought he was one of them,

and sent him away.

Then he came back

a few days later.

He was carrying a big guitar

case and kept tapping on it.

And that was my mistake.

If I had known it was a gun,

I would've decked him on the spot.

He was so nice guy around here,

who would not hurt a soul.

I don't know why he would

do something like that?

He comes to my shop

almost every day.

And other than reading

more books than he pay for,

there was nothing really

criminal about him.

But he leaves us with a question

as to what kind of man

this ringleader,

Lee Jong-sae, really is.

Is he suffering from paranoid

delusion set off by a wave of

Cinderella complex sweeping

the younger generation?

Or a nice and gentle next

door neighbor gone mad?

To find out, we'll listen

to Lee's own words.

Your forever lover boy who gets

bigger with your, love, love, love.

Your lark on a sunny day,

I'm your funnyman

Lee Jong-sae.

It will be a movie the whole

country will see in no time.

I'm going to be too busy for

interviews once it's released,

so you'd better ask me

everything while you can.

Would you just listen

to that guy?

What do you think?

How could someone so ridiculous

pull off a robbery?

Shut up.

If you talk, you're dead.

Smile.

Look natural.

Do I really look

that ridiculous?

I've never even missed

reserve training.

My district supervisor awarded me

for being a model citizen.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Is it so wrong wanting

to be an actor?

Just why do keep going to

the bathroom, fat face?

You already went ten times.

- Hey, Do-seok.

- Yeah?

Remember that comic shop owner?

He didn't have to say

I sneaked a peak, you know.

Well, don't just

sit there like.

We have to run like hell.

Run? Why should I?

I didn't do anything wrong.

I just did it

because he told me

he'd make me a star.

It's his fault

for making me do it.

I'm innocent,

so why should I run?

Were you not watching

the news, dumbass?

You are an accomplice!

All right.

If you want to stay,

get caught,

and got to jail or get shot,

that is fine by me.

How can you think of

going out like that?

Get rid of the mustache

while you still can.

We'll get caught the minute

we get out of the door like this.

I'll shave it off for you,

Mr. Lee.

Right now!

You can shave it off

my dead body.

Get down here, Do-seok.

Stand there.

Look lonely.

Come down.

Raise your chin.

Start laughing.

Like Jack Nicholson.

Laugh harder, mix up

crying sounds with it.

Laugh louder.

Yes. This is it.

Under the moonlight,

with the brook flowing by,

and the birds are still

as the night,

a man is under the moon

laughing his heartbreak away.

Then suddenly, a woman

appears from nowhere.

Hey, fatso.

Go do it at a funny farm.

Scene 28 with a be a very

romantic and lovely scene.

We're in luck.

We just arrived

at a perfect spot.

Will you stop

with that nonsense?

Our car just broke down.

We have to get

someone to fix it.

I can't see anything at night.

I have bad night vision.

Then you should go, fatso.

My night vision

isn't great, either.

We food around any longer

and the cops

will catch up with us.

That noodle looks so tasty.

No eggs. You really know

your instant noodles.

Putting in eggs or green onion

can only ruin the taste of noodles.

Is there something you want?

Oh, yeah.

My car stopped down the road.

Instant noodles are best

without seasoning.

I think I've seen

your face somewhere.

I'm a movie star.

Right. You were on

TV Bestseller Drama once.

It's really an honor

to meet you like this.

But what brings you all the way

out to a place like this?

Are you making a movie?

We were shooting nearby when...

when our car broke down

over the bridge.

Then there must

be a lot stars there.

Who's the actress?

Oh, she's new face.

I'm sure you've heard

the news right?

You know, with those bank

robbers running around,

I try not to go out

to fix cars at night,

but I'll make it

an exception this time.

since a real live movie stars

came and asked.

By the way,

can you give me an autograph

as a souvenir?

Anyway, which movies

did you make?

I'm still a rookie director.

If I'm not wrong,

there should be a lighting staff

and camera crews at movie shoots.

Where did they go?

What?

Oh, they went to grab a bite.

Do you think someone

like me can be a star?

It might look like glitter,

but showbiz is

a very tough business.

So don't quit your day job

and stick to what you're doing now.

Yes, sir.

You know that barber guy

from that bank robber gang?

Who? Moon?

I thought they didn't know yet.

They found out just now.

Looks like he was

a small-time barber

who really wanted the bigtime.

He goes around pretending

he's a movie star.

Isn't it ridiculous?

Yeah, I guess he is.
