forget it. You cannot.

Anne. I think he's right.

We have to be responsible.

Ok.

Anyway, I think I can eat

this little cone snack,

I can really enjoy this.

- Oh, really? It's great.

- It's very tasty.

It's very cheap.

I love it.

And I love that tea you gave me

yesterday. It's really good.

Ah, you mean ginseng tea.

It's really good for your health.

I know.

I'd like to buy some before I go.

You think I can?

Oh, sure. I'll buy some

for you. It's very cheap.

Oh, really? It's cheap?

I didn't know.

Yes, it's very cheap.

And it's very good

for your health.

I'm lost. I'm lost.

How far is it? Who is it?

Please speak more slowly.

Can you take me there.

I will call you back.

- Glad to meet you.

- Glad to meet you too.

I bought the best

beef for you.

Thanks for a great meal.

You're treating

me so well.

I'm happy to be here.

If you're happy,

we're happy. You know?

You're so sweet, Jong!

Oh, it's Jongsoo.

Jongsoo.

Oh, Jongsoo.

I'm sorry.

- Cheers!

- Oh, cheers! Cheers.

- Tonight is our last night.

- I know, I know.

Do you miss

your country?

No. But I want to see

my family in France.

Yes, you're right.

Cheers! Anne, cheers!

Cheers.

You should pace yourself.

I'm not drinking a lot.

Don't worry.

Because you always

get sick afterwards.

You know better than that.

Okay. I got it.

I'm only saying...

this should be

enjoyable for everyone.

Is something wrong?

He shouldn't

drink like that.

He has a drinking

problem, you know.

Oh, really?

Yeah. He cannot

control very well.

Anne, it's ok. It's ok.

She is envious. Because

she cannot drink.

You crazy man!

Hey! Damn it.

I think we shouldn't

drink, Jong.

We're on vacation and

I can't even drink?

What did I do so wrong?

Honey. Calm down.

Control yourself.

Is that so hard?

Fine.

I think we shouldn't drink.

She doesn't like it.

Excuse me.

I'll change the charcoal.

- It's too strong.

- Thank you.

- Is everything cooking well?

- Yes.

Great.

- Anne, how are you?

- Ok.

- Do you know her?

- We met this afternoon.

Anne, can I see you

just a moment?

What?

I made a song for you.

It's a new song!

Oh, I see. It's ok.

- Really?

- No, Im with my friends.

Ah, really?

But I made it for you.

Can't you see us

drinking here?

I apologize.

Can I see you

just a moment?

Who's the manager here?

- Where's the manager?

- Is something wrong?

You're disrespectful and

you're bothering her.

I understand.

I have something for you.

- Do you want to see me? No?

- No. I don't want to see you.

Why should I?

I apologize.

Bye.

What did he even come for?

- Do you know him?

- No. I met him on the beach.

- Oh, really?

- He's a lifeguard.

- Ah, lifeguard.

- No. But I don't know him.

You know, there are so many

Korean men like that.

You see everywhere.

They just love foreign women,

they are so curious, you know?

I'm sick of them.

Really?

- I didn't know.

- You wouldn't know.

You have to be careful with

that kind of Korean men.

- Yes, Anne. He's right.

- Ok.

Be careful.

They're so different.

Different.

She is sleeping.

You drank a lot.

- Why did you wake up?

- Yes. I drank a lot.

Why?

Because you are

leaving today.

Oh, it's ok.

- We'll see each other.

- Yeah, I know.

- Is she sleeping?

- Yes. I saw her sleeping.

It's a beautiful morning.

- Anne.

- Yes?

- Can I kiss you?

- What?

I want to kiss you

for the last time.

- No. It's ok.

- You don't like me?

You're drunk.

I like to kiss you

for the last time.

Yes. But...

We're friends. As you said.

We'll be friends.

Really?

Anne!

- Where is my husband?

- He is there.

- Really?

- Yeah. He's over there.

Ok.

I will walk a little bit.

I'll come back soon.

- Be careful!

- Yeah. Thank you.

Hello.

Anne.

Aren't you cold?

- Cold? What cold?

- You are not too cold?

I'm not cold.

- You're a strong man.

- Thank you.

I came to say sorry

about yesterday.

- Yesterday?

- Yes. I was too tired.

Ah. Too tired?

I wrote you a little note.

You can read it after I go.

Thank you.

No, no, no, no, no.

- Don't read it now.

- Ah, don't read it... ok. Ok.

I have to go. You take

care of yourself.

Thank you.

Bye.

- You... you are... go, now?

- Yes. I'm going now.

Come here.

Anne.

- I love you!

- Me too.

Bye.

Anne.

Bye-Bye.

Bye.

Dear lifeguard.

asked if you...

dear lifeguard.

You are a...

I always asked if you...

would...

us...

to be world...

than...

I don't know how to read it...

he couldn't read

her handwriting.

He couldn't read "beautiful",

a word he knew well.

Her "b" looked like a "p".

The next woman who visits is

a rich housewife from Seoul.

Her husband is

a motor company VP.

Her love for a Korean man

brought her to Mohang.

It takes courage for a foreign

woman to travel alone.

- Thank you for coming.

- Thank you.

Hello.

- Anne?

- Soo.

- Hl, it's me. Soo.

- Yes.

- Where are you?

- I'm in Mohang.

Really?

- You're there, already?

- Yes. I'm in the room.

The room you told

me to check in.

Ah, then you're in

'haneul bang'?

Yes. In 'haneul bang'.

- It's good.

- When are you coming?

Anne. I'm sorry,

I think I will be late.

What? Are you

still in Seoul?

I got a meeting with

an actress in one hour.

It's a short notice,

but it's very important.

Who?

- Sorry. I know, it's bad.

- Oh. Oh, you're bad! Soo.

I need to see her before

she leaves for Australia.

Did your husband leave

for Hong Kong?

But, of course! If he didn't,

I wouldn't be here.

- How many days?

- Three days.

And you have to come back

to Seoul tomorrow?

Yes, this is the only day

I can be here.

Anne. I think I will

be there in 5 hours.

It will be 3 or 4 o'clock.

Ok? Is it ok?

No, it's not ok! How can

you do that to me?

I know. I will be there

as quickly as possible.

I miss you.

Yes. But you're not here,

instead you're seeing an actress.

I know, it's crazy.

No, I know you're crazy.

Oh. You know,

I have to go.

Don't go around too much.

It's dangerous.

Yes. Soo, please don't make

me wait. I hate waiting.

I know, I hate

waiting too.

- Please. Come quickly.

- Ok. I promise.

I don't know what Ill do here.

There is nothing here.

- See you. See you soon, bye.

- Bye.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Is there a nice place around

here that I can go to?

- Nice place?

- Yes. A nice place.

I see. Just moment.

I'm going to a shop.

I can show you something.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you very much.

It's beautiful.

It's beautiful.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Anne!

Soo! How can you be here?

- Surprise for you.

- You crazy man!

- Did I, did I surprise you?

- Yes, you are crazy.

Why did you do that?

To make sure you

miss me a lot.

Oh, yes. I missed you.

I missed you terribly!

Why did you imitate

goat over there?

- It was so funny.

- Oh, did you see that?

I saw you making

sounds, mehhh.

- You're so cute.

- Come here.

- I missed... I missed you.
