Hey!

When I talk, look at me.

That's an etiquette.

What's wrong?

Feel bad? I'm asking you!

A**hole, why don't you

answer my question? Why?

If I ask you something

you answer within a second,

got it?

Yes.

That's right.

Does it hurt?

No... yes!

- Does it hurt?

- Yes!

Good!

I want you to answer

everything with honesty.

Don't bother him.

Guess this guy's nickname.

That kid seems easy to scare.

He's tougher than looks.

There's a eat-out tonight?

Right, we are given some money.

A few...

Kim. Your wife called

and said she's about to deliver.

- Hurry home, go to her.

- Time really flies.

Congratulations! Kim.

You'll soon notice

having one and

not having one are different.

I have to get to my kid's school.

The teacher said father should come.

- Why is that?

- My kid's done something wrong.

Kids don't listen to their dads, either.

They never give enough onions.

Today, join the Pop Songs Album

and listen to real life confession.

Find an opportunity to confess

and to apologize to someone

in this program.

Welcome our first guest.

- Hello?

- Hello?

- Hi.

- Hi.

Who are you?

Lim Sanghee

living in Yeunhi 3dong.

And what are you doing?

I'm an accounting clerk

in a company.

That's important position.

- Have lots of friends?

- Not quiet so, just a few.

- Boy friends?

- Some of them, yes.

- Don't care about their gender, right?

- Right.

Sound like a good-natured person.

Getting water into your lungs

makes you get pulmonary emphysema.

No one's responsible for that.

So, tell me where Kim Wonsik is.

This can be over in

10 minutes, you know.

I wish I could tell you.

I haven't seen Wonsik recently.

This is your diary where you wrote

you gave Wonsik 130,000 won.

It means you met Wonsik

and gave him money.

I met him... We met him,

but I don't know where he is.

Hold him down.

What? Sh*t!

Let's complete.

What the hell is party?

Golden memories

filling the sky,

I'll be forgotten

like dew on a grass.

With old memories

love flew away.

Faces reflected on their eyes

will be faded away.

What'll I be

after long-long time.

I wander about

so far away.

I'd better be a flower forever.

Tomorrow and tomorrow

- How old are you?

- Why are you asking?

- You are a under 20, aren't you?

- No.

- None of your business!

- Don't trick. You are under 20.

Why are you here?

You don't care

anything but money?

Listen!

I won't let you go

if I find you here again.

You got it?

Answer me!

You got it?

I got it.

Is that true Wonsik's staying at his

school chum's house in Kunsan?

If you'd told me that earlier,

you wouldn't have suffered much.

Don't you feel better

after blowing everything off?

Yes.

Blow your nose.

There's one thing to ask you.

Do you think life's beautiful?

Pardon me?

You wrote in this diary.

Life is beautiful.

Do you really think so?

Excuse me. How can I get to

Haemang 1 dong?

Over there? Thank you.

Kim, do you know

anyone in Kunsan?

No.

But I knew a girl whose

hometown was Kunsan.

- A girl?

- She was my first girlfriend.

That's a lie.

He seduces a girl

by talking about his first love.

If he talks about first love, it works?

Yeah, It's so strange.

Why she doesn't come back

keeping me waiting.

Did you see the light turned off?

Looks like this'll be an all night.

Kim, go to an inn

and take a catnap.

You didn't get sleep at all last night.

We don't need to be all here.

Let's change shifts at dawn.

Just gone saying nothing?

The guy's got no manners.

- What are you doing?

- I'm watching raining.

- You want to watch together?

- No, thanks.

Why are you here in Kunsan?

For work?

On a business trip?

To look for someone.

Who are you looking for?

You seem to have a history.

Right?

Tell me.

With raining, I am so bored.

I heard...

my first love lives in Kunsan.

I don't know exactly

but somewhere in Kunsan.

If you don't know where she is,

how can you see her?

It doesn't matter.

I just came...

She lives here.

I can walk on the same

street where she's walked.

And see the same ocean

that she's looked at.

But what can you do

while it's raining?

That's okay.

Since we are

in the same rain now.

The rain I'm looking is

the same rain she's looking at.

You are good at fooling people!

You think I'm making this up?

Hey!

I want to be the woman

you're looking for tonight, can I?

Bye!

Hey...

Tell me, the name of

the girl you're looking for.

Tell me.

Sunim. Yun Sunim.

Call me Sunim from now on.

Think you're with Sunim.

And you can say anything

you've wanted to say to her.

Please say something.

You're with Sunim now.

Please say something.

Come on,

you can tell me.

- Sunim...

- Yes.

- Sunim...

- Yes.

- Sunim...

- Yes

Don't cry. It's all right.

I know exactly what you feel.

You don't need to say a word.

All I want is your happiness.

If you cry, that breaks my heart.

Youngho, how are you?

Did your mother meet friends?

- What?

- Your mother met...

Sh*t! Catch him!

Come on, come on!

You think you are great?

Come on, you bastard!

Handcuff him.

Kim, what's wrong?

Have you lost your mind?

Why are you looking at your watch?

I am to eat breakfast with someone.

In Kunsan? With whom?

With my first love.

Bullshit! Wipe the blood

off this kid's face

Youngho!

Teach me

how to ride a bicycle.

I can't. I need to eat before work.

Just a minute! Just five minutes!

- Would you like to have more?

- No, I've had enough.

Don't look at the newspaper

while eating.

Don't do that.

Why did you become a cop?

I don't know.

If you don't know, who does?

I think you aren't fit for the job.

Don't seem to be the type at all.

I'm late. Give me the meal!

What on earth are you doing?

You sing a song of protest

every time I touch you.

Don't take your hands off.

Hands off!

Will you go to the movie tonight?

No, I can't go.

I have lots of work to do today.

I can wait, though.

Yonhung theater stages

a movie as a midnight program.

Is it okay for a girl

to be out so late at night?

Why not? Don't!

Youngho!

Youngho!

- Used to the job, yet?

- Yes, sir.

Kim!

You said you used to work

in a factory in this neighborhood?

4 years ago before the army.

You joined the labor union then?

- Yes.

- You deal with this case.

But I've never tried

one like this before.

Nobody knows it from scratch.

You can learn, though.

Choose!

Will you do it or not?

Are you sleeping?

Break time's over.

Kim, take care of this.

You're dead meat now.

This man is really scary.

Please...

give me...

information...

right away!

Tell me. Why are you so stubborn?

You idiot!

You think you're doing

something so great? Why?

It's difficult to take the smell off.

Mr. Kim

You know a girl named Yun Sunim?

Yun Sunim.

She came to see you.

Who is she?

A girlfriend?

I'm back in my hometown.

How did you find me?

Home... I went to your folks.

Why?

To get in touch with you.

I found out your address back
