LEE SOM:

These scentless petals covering

the road endlessly make me forget

why I decided to come here.

When a ridiculous misunderstanding forced me

to leave the school

I just wanted to hide

where nobody could find me.

I hoped to find something pure

that is vanishing from me,

to prove myself writing a novel

with a new story I find there.

But my strong intention faded away

as soon as I arrived.

The old and weary mood this town held

almost choked me.

What is this kid?

Never seen a man in a suit?

She stared me

with the inquisitive eyes.

That's how I met her.

DIRECTED BY YIM PIL-SUNG

He's too young to be a professor.

Guess he had a drink. Look at his ruddy cheeks.

You know the writer...

needs a drink to talk or write on something.

"INTRODUCTION TO WRITING A NOVEL"

- You want to write novels?

-Yes.

You think anyone can write one?

That's why we're here to learn.

There's an expression called literary youth.

But no such thing like literary old.

Do you know why?

You are telling we old folks

don't deserve writing?

Yes, the old can: write.

They can only keep a diary.

The old man with an old mind

only can write corny things.

Only the one with an open mind

can do the literature.

So if you want to write novels,

you need to be young at heart again.

You need to love!

At our age? How?

But it sounds good!

- Hello.

-You're coming home now?

Tofu and zucchini, please.

Sure.

Mom!

Just now. What do want to get?

Tofu and zucchini?

I got them already. Let's go.

Will make you delicious bean paste stew.

You raised Deokee well. So pretty and filial.

You must be proud!

- Good night.

-Good night.

Mom, store owner told me

this town will be redeveloped.

So are we getting lots of compensation?

Well...guess it would some.

Much enough to move to Seoul?

What do you think?

I hope the money is big enough

for your wedding.

My wedding? No kidding!

You should get married

when you meet a decent guy.

If there is a decent guy,

I need to date him first.

But problem is we can't find a decent man here.

The store owner will set you up

on a blind date.

A guy working at a car company.

A car company?

Boring!

You don't get married for fun!

Are you worried about me?

Don't worry.

I won't live like this forever.

I believe in you.

The machine is too old.

It needs some bashing once in a while.

What do you want to ride?

Pardon?

The rides in this park. Which one?

I didn't come for that.

Are you working here?

Right there.

At the ticket office, I see.

I've never seen a small amusement park

like this.

They'll tear it down next year

and will build a public park.

Nobody came to ride in full dress like you.

I'm not here for the ride,

but for the work.

At the lifelong education center.

No one's dressed up there, either.

I remember!

You were in front of the store yesterday.

So are you a professor?

Yes.

- Literature writing class.

-Wow.

Thought that class would be really interesting.

She didn't get along with anyone,

and responded to no one.

She simply existed there still and sound.

As if she couldn't see

or hear anything.

She was cowering like a caterpillar

waiting for the spring with every fiber

of her body.

The time she would transform

into a beautiful being.

As you are here, you should have a drink.

Need to leave soon.

Of course, you must be busy writing.

But a drink could smooth your writing.

- Just one glass!

-Then just one.

There you go.

Handsome ones look cool

even drinking monkey swill.

-I'll pour you one.

- Thank you, professor.

It's good!

Deokee, I know you had a blind date yesterday.

- What?

-She did? With whom?

The second son at the photo studio.

He works at the motor factory.

So you'll get married soon!

No.

Why not? That kid is okay.

- Yes, he is.

-Right.

- How many babies?

-You're so silly.

She needs to square it with parents first.

I'll get going-

- Why so early?

-We want to hear more.

It wasn't fun at all.

Tell us later! Promise!

Where's your house?

Mine?

The fifth house under the Stairways.

Mine is here.

Guess you need to walk back.

Good night.

Hello, professor.

- Kimchi stew and soju as usual?

-Yes.

Are you writing something?

I'm so bored here, same old shits.

So what did the dean say?

He doesn't want to meet you.

Why?

He's being cautious as it's a sensitive issue.

Be patient. I'll try to persuade him.

We're collecting evidences to prove

that you're falsely accused.

Try to take it easy there.

It'll take some time as she's so persistent.

You must feel depressed in that backcountry.

Find some hobby to spend time.

Hang in there.

This place closes early.

Yes, at 6 PM.

Where are you going once it's demolished?

Wherever.

I'll be happy just escaping

from this boring town.

Then you should try something not boring.

Like what?

Not the right one to ask. I'm a boring person.

You must be lonely not boring.

Do I look lonely?

I can tell as I see many people

coming here alone for a ride.

The angry ones scream riding on the pirate ship

while lonely ones ride a merry-go-round.

And the ones to be lost to the world

get on the Ferris wheel.

Then I should try all!

Can I have a look at the bottle?

Yuck! lt's...bitter!

Guess you can't drink.

Yes, I can.

What brought you here, anyway?

They say I did something wrong.

I did nothing but I became the guilty one.

I'll go buy things.

Tend the shop for me, Deokee.

The bad things blindly hit you

like the lightening.

My mother says we have to take a shelter

for a while

until it clears up.

Not the case for where I came from.

It's a swamp boiling with the jealousy.

If I waited like that, I'd be bogged down deep.

But thank you, Deokee.

For listening to me and believing what I said.

Nobody did.

It's my pleasure. I enjoy listening to you.

When are you coming home?

Can you come tonight?

Daddy will be coming.

Do you have to go to Seoul?

You'd better get going, too.

Yes.

I might be in a trouble

as my wife hates me drinking.

Then go tomorrow when you sober up.

I'm leaving.

80 hot.

It's so hot in here.

Or is it me because of drinking?

You're warm.

Mom, tie my hair.

Your dad is with a girl again.

See he's not coming.

He said he's coming today.

Like father, like daughter. You little liar.

See you later, professor.

Hello, sir.

Hello.

He's working too hard.

He must be bored to sit still.

I imagined it would be quite scary

at night here.

Are you scared?

Not at all. Because I'm with you.

This is the switch.

Are you sure about this?

Let's stay this way for a while.

Why?

Just to remember this moment.

It's my first date with a man I love.

She comes in and out of his house all the time.

The guard at the park told me he even saw them

doing this! Shameless.

We went wild and shameless

at our early days, too.

As the old saying goes

it's always the quiet one.
