Even though she was so slim,

She was strong back then, too.

She worked better than

any of the men.

Wait, Miss!

Let me help you.

I don't need any help.

So you're not a native

of this island.

No, I came here to get married,

So I'm not a native.

How about Mrs. Mayor?

Had a lot of wrinkles back then, too?

You bastard!

She was beautiful

and behaved very gracefully.

So all the people called her

The Great Virgin.

It was like she was from

a noble family.

Since most of the people

were illiterate,

She learned Korean and how to paint.

She was the best pick for marriage.

Her husband proposed to her

Since he loved her painting

and her beauty.

So Mrs. Mayor was

an intellectual, huh?

Everybody was a big shot once

when they were young.

For a great number of nights

I've been heartbroken

You might consider me

a bad girl or something.

But my heart was so pure once.

I don't believe it.

Once I was a well-known singer.

Nothing like what I am now.

Whenever I appeared at a bar,

it was always crowded with men.

I gave him everything

my love, my body,

and even money for

his college tuition.

When he graduated from college,

he asked me to go up to Seoul.

I planned to go after

making some more money.

After he left, he never called.

I kept waiting for him to come back,

But all I did was age.

You should've followed him then.

A woman living in a man's shadow

is the best life.

You'd be better off than now.

I've met a lot of men since then,

but I've loved none of them.

You're a real pro.

Your heart didn't follow your body.

I'm going to bed.

Take your time and see you tomorrow.

Where are you going?

You haven't told him your story yet.

You're such a moron.

Don't you know the saying,

Every love is a first love?

Look up at the stars in the sky.

Both the first star and the last one

twinkle the same,

together in the sky.

Don't you know that?

I can't figure out who Kot-nim is.

Damn it!

Would it be easier to look

at their old pictures?

Why do you have

someone else's picture?

This is mine, idiot!

No it's not.

It looks like someone else's.

What?

She looked like that

when she came here.

- That's right.

- Are you sure?

Then what happened to you?

How old are you?

I was born in 1940.

- 40?

- Yeah.

You were born in?

Yeah, why?

But you told me you were

born in 1937.

The official record is 1943,

but I was actually born in 1940.

So we're the same age.

Why'd you lie to me?

Lie to you?

Yeah, lie to me!

Until never mentioned my age.

You just guessed it by yourself.

Look at your face.

How could your old wrinkled face

be the same age as mine?

What?

Do you want to fight?

I won't fight a fat old woman!

- You b*tch!

- Watch your mouth!

Stop! Don't move!

Look at this!

Do you know what this is?

Listen carefully about

what I'm going to say.

I came from Seoul...

That story can't match Gi-young's.

First of all, it has no structure.

And it's too short.

It's like some one-act drama.

Come on.

Why would a rich and powerful man

look for an old woman like one of us?

- That's right.

- It's no big deal.

Why?

It's so romantic.

He's looking for

his first love before he dies.

You're right.

So tell me your stories.

Wait.

Your big eyes kind of match

the ones in the picture.

- Really?

- She had plastic surgery!

But since it was done cheap,

Her eyelids didn't cover her eyes.

I had big eyes at birth.

I just tried to make them prettier,

although it failed.

I don't know which one of you

he's looking for.

But if one of you is Kot-nim,

your life will change forever.

That rich man is on his deathbed.

So just say to him, Yes, yes,

and it'll change your life forever.

You idiot!

What's the use for old women like us?

We don't have much time to live,

so we don't need to be greedy.

That's for sure.

At our age, it's better to live

modestly than to expand.

You bastard.

How can I knock some sense

into all of you?

Damn it!

Go away!

This is our special service,

the potato massage.

What the hell are you

doing with food?

You don't want the massage?

More potatoes for your big face.

Get up.

Just do it, you bastard!

Just do it, you bastard!

Don't move.

It's boring just lying still.

Why don't you tell a story?

It was a long long time ago...

Hey!

Don't want the massage?

In a warm southern country...

Shut up!

You bastard!

You asked us to tell a story.

Mrs. Yeong-gwang, you went to bed

without telling your story.

- Please tell yours.

- I don't have a story.

She's got nothing to talk about.

How could a widow have a story?

So didn't you ever want to

get married after that?

You truly must've loved your husband.

Ma'am, tell us your story, please?

Give me a cigarette.

I didn't know if it was love or not.

Since I was so young.

I missed him all the time.

Did you know how to kiss then?

Shut up and just listen to me!

Love is unceasing like a fire with

gas thrown on it all the time.

So you had sex with him once?

Shut up.

It seems to be the climax.

If you ask me why I loved a slave,

I don't know how to answer.

Because if I could control my emotions

then it wasn't love.

If he had gotten caught,

he'd have been killed immediately.

So to save him, I had no choice

but to let him leave me.

If I could go back to that time,

there's no doubt in my mind

that I'd run away with him.

- Hurry up and go!

- Get up!

You'll be killed so hurry!

Madam.

I'll wait for you.

Promise that you'll see me

again alive.

I swear.

I'll wait only for you.

Take this.

If you're hungry, sell it for food.

Madam.

Go now. I'll follow you soon.

Madam.

- Catch him!

- Get him!

- Get him!

- Freeze!

Stop there!

That was the last time I saw him.

So what happened?

Was he killed?

Look at this.

What?

It's...

It's her, right?

Mrs. Ma-san!

Are you asleep?

I forgot to tell you this.

But the thought popped into my mind

as I was getting ready for bed.

Do you remember his name?

His name had 'Gu' at the end.

Yeong-gu? No, no.

Maeng-gu? No.

Bong-gu?

How about...

Dal-gu?

Right! Dal-gu!

Park Dal-gu!

Your life will change forever now.

Hurray! Hurray for Ma-san!

They say that 'Nobody knows

which cloud will bring rain.'

He was the one with rain.

He was the splendid one.

I had three more men besides him,

but I don't know where they are now.

Telephone! Telephone! Oh, sh*t!

I have to call him right now.

Go and ask Yeo-su.

She has a phone her doughter

Kut-sun sent to her.

Why didn't you tell me

that you had a phone?

Because you said

that you would fix yours.

It wasn't about the phone charges.

Okay.

Hold it gently.

I haven't used it yet.

How about sending a text message?

It's cheaper than talking.

Hey!

Lt'll charge so much.

It'll be expensive to call Seoul.

It's the same as calling America.

Hello?

Yes, Mr. Secretary!

Yes, I found Kot-nim!

Is that bastard calling

someone in America?

Good morning.

What are you doing here?

I heard the news.

Congratulations!

You finally found your fortune.
