Hatsuyuki No Koi: Virgin Snow

---

VIRGIN SNOW:

What a view!

I'm here!

It's spring of 2004. I was born in

Seoul and lived there ever since.

But I suddenly went to Japan

to follow my father who is a potter.

Well, I can't speak

Japanese at all.

But that's actually good.

Now I've got

an excuse not to study.

God...

Oh yeah, my name is Kim Min.

You're bleeding.

I fell off my bike.

Are you Korean?

Yes.

What's that?

That.

Omikuji.

Omikoji?

Fortune teller.

Fortune tell...

Right! Fortune telling!

You can buy one there.

It's all in Japanese.

What does it mean?

It's Daikichi.

Daikichi?

Lucky. Very lucky.

Very lucky.

I think so, too.

You may tie only

bad luck omikuji' here.

Just the bad ones only here.

Your omikuji is good.

Please keep.

Oh, keep?

Nanae, come here!

Okay.

Please keep.

With lucky.

Lee Jun-ki

Miyazaki Aoi

VIRGIN SNOW:

Min, let's have breakfast.

Help yourself.

No kimchi?

In Rome do as the Romans do.

Anyway, why is this soup bowl

so small?

And don't we need something

like a spoon for this?

They don't use

a spoon in Japan.

Since you'll be here for a year,

try to take some interest in Japan.

Not bad.

What is this?

Beating Japan with 365 words

For picking up girls?

Thank you.

'Otosu'.

To tempt and succeed.

I love this word.

Yes!

What a great day.

Aren't you...?

Huh?

Do monks go

grocery shopping, too?

Move!

Move! Move!

Move! Move! Move!

Class, this is Kim Min.

He came here with his father,

an exchange-professor in Japan.

He doesn't know

Japanese too well,

so please help him.

Yes!

Well, Min's seat is...

Ma'am, here.

Hello.

Oh, you can speak Korean.

Quality Guaranteed

Quality Guaranteed.

My name is Assa Kaori.

Nice to meet you.

Assa Kaori.

Yeah, Assa Kaori.

Her name wasn't the only thing

that was funny.

Let's go and eat something.

- Okay, let's go.

- Let's go.

Okay.

What's he doing?

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey!

You can't hear us?

- Huh?

- Yeah, you.

I mean,

where are you from?

You're stealing this bike, huh?

Give it back.

Sometimes feet are

faster than words.

Black Belt in Taekwondo,

Kim Min

Who is this girl?

Bastard still knows

how to break the mood.

You've already picked up a girl?

You just got to Japan.

First say 'hi' at least?

How's Japan? Bet it's tough

because of the language barrier.

That's why I told you

to learn music like me.

Yeah, so how's

the drumming going?

Just playing, that's all.

And don't forget to eat.

Okay. Take care of yourself.

Where are they?

Min! Min,

why are you so late?

The first class is gym.

Huh?

Don't you have a gym suit yet?

Gym suit.

Gym suit?

Here we are.

Min, the guys go there.

Hurry up.

Ippon!

Coach,

he used to be

a fencing champion in Korea.

Really?

I want to have a match with him.

Hey!

I heard that you used to be

a fencing champion in Korea.

Why don't you take this chance

to show us what you got?

What's he saying?

Oh, a welcoming ceremony!

Now you notice who I am!

Good to see you!

I look great, don't I?

Huh?

- Fight!

- Wait!

I said wait!

Give it to me.

Damn it.

Come here!

This sucks.

Fine, you're going down.

Here I go!

Min! Min!

Min! Min!

Bring him some water.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

It was my fault yesterday.

I thought that you

were stealing the bike.

What's he saying?

Is he apologizing to me?

Where are you going?

Min!

Min!

What's wrong?

Forget it!

Wait!

Min!

- What's the matter?

- Wait, Min!

Nanae!

Ohm no!

Nanae cherishes that.

What are you going to do now?

Oh, no!

The stream's too shallow!

Mom, you're drinking again?

Whatever...

You'll kill yourself like this.

Shut up!

You got something to say?

If you do, tell me now.

Hi, Yuri.

What's with you?

You got something to

say too, Yuri?

Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

See you again!

Kojima!

I need a lot of money,

so...

I need a job...

Help me!

Please come!

Please come!

Please come!

Please come!

Please come!

Nanae?

Nanae.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Here you are.

For me?

'Me' dropped it like this, so...

I can't accept this.

I mean...

'Me' dropped yours like this,

so I bought this for you...

I can use mine.

They're still good.

Rain.

Hey.

You did the show to

buy that for me.

What?

Ching Ching Dong Dong

What?

Ching Ching Dong Dong

You saw me?

How embarrassing.

Rain.

Rain!

Thank you.

Past. Sorry. This.

Take. Please.

Min.

For me?

Gratitude for the painting tools.

Thank you.

To Min, With all my thanks.

From Nanae

Why? Want to learn pottery?

No, I don't want to touch

that poop stuff.

Poop?

What you're saying is poop.

What does the card say?

Does it say that she likes me?

What kind of girl would like you?

It says, cut your hair.

Forget it.

Better off

you don't say anything.

It says, 'With all my thanks.'

Whoever she is,

she thanks you with all her heart.

Yeah?

Then what does 'Ookini' mean?

It's the Kyoto dialect

for 'Thank you.'

Thank you.

Dad!

Ookini

Let's hurry.

- Hi.

- Hi.

What the hell...?

Let go of me!

Let go of me, man.

Are all Koreans like you?

Push. Push.

Push?

Yeah, that's not the way.

Japanese girls,

especially Kyoto girls...

They are 'okuyukashii.'

- 'Okuyukashii?'

- Understand?

'Hazukashi gariya.'

'Hazukashi.'

Oh, shy?

Yeah, right.

Don't hurry.

Slow please.

Slow...

Slow...

- Slow...

- Slow...

You bastard.

So, this could be

a good weapon for you.

Brand new phone? 0 yen

Okay!

Look out the window.

The heads of5 Southern Asia

countries are...

Now it's the capital city of

Sri Lanka

And after the prime ministers of

China and India have a meeting...

The five principles of peace...

Teacher.

Yesterday...

Present...

Thank you...

So

I...

will show you around Kyoto.

I think...

I should guide you.

No.

I will

guide you.

Good?

Okay.

Pottery shop.

My father makes pottery.

Pardon?

My father makes pottery.

He's a 'potter'.

Your father is a potter?

Yes.

'Kiyomiz Jagi'.

'Kiyomiz' what?

For Kiyomizu porcelain,

its potter is different

from its painter.

The potter makes the porcelain,

and the painter paints on it

separately.

So there's a porcelain maker,

and then a painter.

- Separately.

- Separately.

Separately.

Okay, I got it.

How about this?

Later,

'me' make the porcelain...

And Nanae paints

on the porcelain I make, okay?

Promise?

- Promise?

- Yeah, 'yakusoku.'

'Yakusoku' in Japanese, too.

'Yakusoku.'

Dad,

teach me

how to make porcelain.

I thought you

didn't want to touch poop.

Please teach me how to make it.

You have to beat it hard

to make it easy to work with..

I know that part.

So teach me how to make porcelain,

not how to beat mud.

I have to make a big dish.

That's why

I'm teaching you this.

Want to know

more about her, right?

Well, it's not that...

Try it.

- Like this?

- Yeah.

Give it to me.

There is much air in the mud.

So if you don't press it

out of the mud,

It'll crack when you bake it.
