Okay, here you go

- Hey, Mr. Writer!

- Good morning

- Are you quitting your route?

- Huh?

Oh, no, she's my friend

- Hello!

- Hello. How do you do?

She's pretty

No wonder I wanted to pack

some extra today

What's today's menu?

Today, it's um

Let's have some milk

- Thank you

- Do you have strawberry milk?

Strawberry? Um yes

- Here you go

- Thank you

Ah madeleines!

Today's madeleines

Ah so these are madeleines?

Have you had

madeleines before?

No

In Remembrance of

Things Past

the book starts with the character

recalling a childhood memory

The thing sparking his memory

is the madeleine

Why?

He eats a madeleine

by chance

and remembers

the taste which triggers

other forgotten

childhood memories

Here

Mmm, it's good!

Five stars

So do you remember anything?

This is my first time

Maybe, in 10 years

I'll eat a madeleine by chance

and I'll remember today

Ji-suk Kang!

What?

Shall I make today

unforgettable for all time?

How?

Let's date!

What?

Let's have a romance!

We don't know

each other very well

Did I say for us

to get hitched?

We date,

to we get to know each other!

Why? Don't you like me?

- It's not that

- Then what?

Give me some time

to think about it!

Fine!

I'll give you

till we get home!

Go on in

How about it?

What do you say?

About our romance

Um, well It's um

It may be easy

for you to decide

- But this is very hard for me

- Stop!

If it's too much for you

then let's just go out

for a month

What?

An arranged romance

for just a month

Watcha think? Fun, huh?

The conditions are

we have to be 100% honest!

We can't say let's break up

until the month is up

After a month,

we part ways grandly!

You do whatever you want,

don't you?

But poor you

After a month,

you'll be in love with me

Then what happens?

Then? Well, say that

you love me

I shall consider it then

Hey, is it supposed to

sting so much?

My scalp feels like

it's on fire

Wussy you know what we call hair

that's never been permed or colored?

What?

Virgin hair

Ji-suk, the first time's

always a little painful

How come a guy like you,

who can't make a decision

said 'yes' to our month romance?

Here are some moments

I want to share with you

Really?

What kind of moments

do you want to share with me?

Well, you see, it's

So what you want to share with me,

it's to go biking in the rain?

Isn't it romantic?

Please don't write a love story

I'm writing one right now

Well, take this scene out

Ji-suk, why do like

getting wet in the rain?

In the rain, I feel like

I'm getting cleansed

You do know

that it's acid rain

That's why

we're wearing raincoats

Ji-suk, you wanna

go to my place?

Hey! This is really good

My mom likes tea

more than sex

I've inherited

her talent with tea

I think I'm going to like tea

more than s-sex

from now on

Liar

It's really good

Not that

Have you even had sex?

No, right?

Hey, at my age,

of course I have

Really? With who?

Well, um

Ji-suk Kang,

you're so cute

The moments we shared today,

I was really happy!

Even when I'm older,

a grandma

every time I drink this tea,

I think I'll remember today

This way, my memory

will be more vivid

- They'll break!

- No, they won't!

Don't talk when

I'm doing the dishes

I can't concentrate on,

so I might break them

You know, you're pretty good

with dishes

Yeah? Well, of course. I've lived

alone for years. Dishes are a given

Yeah? You can do

laundry as well?

- Laundry?

- I have lots of laundry

laundry? I can't do it well

- Are you good with dishes?

- Of course

Hey! Don't you feel like

this is a waste of time?

Nope! Doesn't it just

clear your head?

Play another game!

Any questions,

just ask me, the master

Hi! It's Sung-hae, remember me?

We were in the same class, 9th grade

Wanna catch up? Come to Blue Moon,

Sat. At 7. You can catch me there

What I wish for is

your blue ocean

The universe inside those pearls

I cannot see anymore

I lose sleep, I'm so tired

The energy inside me

Fading, fading

As I wait quietly

Finally, blue eyes

I lose sleep, I'm so tired

The energy inside me

Fading, fading

I lose sleep, I'm so tired.

The energy inside me

Fading, fading

I lose sleep, I'm so tired

The energy inside me

Fading, fading

Hee-jin Lee,

what are you doing?

Aren't you meeting

Ji-suk today?

Shhh, mommy's reading

Be quiet, please

- You major in film?

- Uh-huh

Bye. See you tomorrow

- See ya!

- Uh-huh

A film major and

lead vocals in a band

Wow that's a busy life

There were 3 things

I always wanted to do in college

Love, travel, and the leader

of a rock-n-roll band!

Then you've done all three?

Of course!

Oh, there's a class

reunion this Sat

Reunion?

Just some classmates living in Seoul.

You want to come?

Do you have a girlfriend?

Uh, uh, no

Hello?

It's me

Oh, Hee-jin

Yeah. Ji-suk, I read 100 pages

of Moon Palace today

Oh Really?

At this rate, I'll finish it before

our month is up, don't you think?

Probably

Probably?

How come you're

so wishy-washy, huh?

One time, Jong-chul, man,

he was at my house to watch porn

Suddenly, my mom walked in

Wow, we were screwed,

you know!

We tried to get the tape out

but it was stuck

So then what happened?

We took the whole player out

Told his mom, we had to copy

an English tape or something

Hey! You're really a hair designer?

Not a washer?

If I were still a washer,

I'd die!

That's impressive!

You're the only one still doing what

we dreamed of doing in school

Oh, my!

I must be the last one

- Hey, Mi-hee!

- It's so good to see you, girl!

I'm so heavy

it's hard to get around

What's a mommy doing here?

Min-chul, you be quiet!

But what's this?

Oh, it's Sung-hae's birthday today!

Whoa, Sung-hae's birthday?

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, dear Sung-hae!

Happy birthday to you!

I dedicate this song

to my friends

who remembered my birthday

You're still in my heart

When it rains,

the rain covers, hides me

The times we spent

together pass

You go one without

remembering me

Oh, time passes,

without a word from you

Even when forever comes,

you still don't know me

Yeah. So what if it's Pusan

or that it's between other acts?

We can't be too picky

Anyway, Pusan's my hometown

Alright, so we're taking the gig

I'll call you later. Bye

Uh-huh

- Sung-hae!

- Huh?

- Happy birthday

- Thanks

Come by the salon sometime

I'll cut your hair real nice

for your present

- Really?

- Of course

Come to our gatherings

from now on

Bring your boyfriend too.

Okay?

Okay

Oh, yeah. You came with Ji-suk, right?

He told you about tonight?

Yeah

- So is it true he doesn't have a girlfriend?

- What?

Hey, how would I know?

Why?

Did he say he didn't?

Well, that's what he said.

But I think he has one

Hey, I really can't dance!

Whatever, it's easy,

just move

Yeah, stop being such

a goodie goodie

Go on! Get up!

Hey, sit, sit, here!

Don't they look

peachy together?

Actually, Sung-hae liked
