A DAY FOR INCANTATION

Ddaedabomok Jijilcaenabonba!

Ddaedabomok Jijilcaenabonba!

- Youngsu!

- What?

Never mind. It slipped out.

- Who's Youngsu?

- A friend from high school.

His name just popped up.

- His name is Youngsu?

- You don't know him.

Why are you smoking so much?

I thought you were quitting.

I will.

Don't make promises

you won't keep.

Forget it. Do whatever you want.

Where's the car?

You don't remember?

My wife isn't the same these days.

Have I been inattentive?

She won't talk much. And she

doesn't really laugh at my jokes.

Youngsu, was it?

Who's Youngsu?

Where's the car?

It wouldn't move itself.

It was here...

I might be home late.

I have a Q & A today.

Q & A?

They're showing

that short I made today.

- So you're drinking again?

- I guess I might...

We'll see. It won't

be much anyway.

You remember what you said?

What you promised?

Only twice a month.

I know. I didn't say

I'm drinking for sure.

The whole crew will come

and you know how hard they worked.

You promised, just twice a month.

How many times is it now?

Whatever.

There's the car.

Right. There it was, all this time.

As the morning light crept

in through the window,

he heard the doorto

the hotel room open.

The man knew who was coming in.

He thought she changed

her mind and forgave him.

Before he hugs her,

she stares at him.

Her face is suddenly

full of mischief.

'Cause I'm a mosquito. 'Cause

I'm so cold, 'cause I'm a mosquito.'

She says to him.

Everything else is just

technical things to fix.

If you don't fix it,

the narrative won't support itself.

Your sincerity needs its own form.

The form will take you to the truth.

Telling it as it is won't get you there.

That's a big mistake.

Don't be so stubborn.

You have potential.

Dialogue is great.

The characters' emotions aren't fake.

There's a real sensibility.

But if you don't fix this,

it won't stand as a feature.

Can't you understand?

Do you want me to be greedy?

Is that why you do it?

Because of greed?

What the hell do you know?

So I'm doing all this

sh*t because of greed?

I'm showing you

how to survive.

You can't even change this?

Turning points!

Two turning points!

That's how to take away

what's fake in you, idiot!

I can't.

I just can't do it.

I felt bad,

so I told her I'd buy

her a drink at Insadong.

I need to cheer her up.

- Hello.

- Hi, professor.

You had class today?

Yes, I just finished.

- See you later, sir.

- All right.

- See You at the restaurant.

- What? Bye.

Are we meeting later?

Yes, some of the faculty.

Aren't you coming?

I didn't know.

Nobody told me about it.

We're meeting at three,

at the Chinese place.

- Yes, sir.

- We'll just get a bite

since everyone seems busy.

Three o'clock is good for me.

Why don't you come in to talk?

- Yes, sir.

- Come on in.

Nothing good comes

from chasing after money.

They should've listened to me

and built a reliable system first.

To train and cultivate young talent.

Look at this mess.

Good things never come easy.

You're right.

They're all about money.

Struggling artists like you

can't make films anymore,

when there's no more

money around.

It is difficult...

Money ruins it all.

Film as an art is finished.

It's dead. It's the same overseas.

It can't go back to how it was.

Don't you agree?

Yes, sir. I don't think so.

Honestly, I don't know

what I should do.

Let's just read.

In such a rotten world,

only books will save us.

Only books.

I had nowhere to go on campus,

so I went to the barber shop.

One moment. I'll be done soon.

Sure.

Who's Youngsu?

My cousin's name is Youngsu.

Is she having an affair

with my cousin?

No way. That's Nonsense!

- Professor.

- What's up?

I got a haircut.

It's great to see you.

I saw you a few days ago.

How are you?

I'm okay. Are you coming later?

- The gathering?

- Yes.

- I'm not going.

- Why not?

Because of Professor Song.

Professor Song?

That Song is a piece of work.

I almost raised hell.

- Really?

- You didn't know?

He sold off the tenure

to that new Mr. Bang.

I found out he

got a lot of money.

He's insane!

- Are You serious?

- Dead serious.

Bang only got hired for money.

In this day and time!

He's a scumbag.

I can't stand the sight of him.

He completely disgusts me!

Is he really like that?

Song would do

anything for money!

- Really?

- Really.

- For real, sir?

- Yes.

Anyway, see you around.

- Take care, sir.

- Yes.

- Hello?

- Hi, it's Sowon.

Oh, Sowon. What's up?

I was wondering

where we're meeting.

Right. I meant to call you.

Sorry, but l forgot

l have a faculty meeting.

I can't make it today. I'm sorry.

Hello?

I'm already near Insadong.

Should I wait?

Oh, I see. But the thing is,

I also have a Q & A afterwards.

I don't think today will work.

Let's set another date.

What day is good foryou?

I don't care.

Hello?

Why'd she hang up on me?

What the hell are You doing?

Sorry. Is it okay I took a picture?

Do You know who I am?

Pardon? No, I don't.

Who are you?

Don't take pictures without asking.

You in A contest or something?

I'm Sorry.

Everyone's a goddamn

photographerthese days.

Do you know what you're doing?

I'm sorry.

I wanted to capture you.

Why?

Just.

What kind of pictures do you take?

That's A good camera.

It's A Nikon.

Nikon? It's pronounced

nee-kon! How silly.

I'm a filmmaker.

Really? That's fascinating.

Why?

Just because...

I also take pictures,

so I know that feeling.

But you shouldn't shoot

someone who's sleeping.

Il'm sorry. I'm a beginner,

so I don't know much.

I'm a film director.

- So mine are moving pictures.

- That must be great.

They're a bit lazy.

You just have to wait a little.

It all depends on luck.

- What does?

- Photography.

Here, I'll try it myself.

I don't take pictures.

You take pictures of others.

Just pose.

I really don't take pictures...

- What's your name?

I'm Jang Suyang.

What do you do?

Nothing. I just stay home.

- You married?

- Yes.

I see.

What kind of films do you do?

I have to go.

Let me just delete my pictures.

Don't delete the ones I took.

Of course not.

Just the ones of me.

Okay. There you go.

Nice talking to you. Bye.

That's a beautiful bottle.

- Oh, it's empty.

- It is.

- You're quite the big drinker.

- Thank You, sir.

Great aroma.

It's really something.

I always wanted to try it.

Mr. Bang.

This must've cost a fortune.

No, sir.

It feels so smooth going down.

How much was it?

About four hundred?

It wasn't that expensive.

I'll bring another one next time.

Congratulations! It's great news.

Let's toast to Mr. Bang.
