00:00:16To be continued...
00:00:52Where do you live?
00:00:55I've got a bunch of coins to scatter.
00:00:57Tell me where you live!
00:01:04I had a student who wrote the story in my class where a girl finally gets asked out
00:01:08by a guy she's had a crush on, and on their first date, she oversleeps and shows up late.
00:01:13When I read it, I lost it.
00:01:15I said, hey, if it were me, I'd get up early to doll myself up.
00:01:18I wouldn't be able to sleep.
00:01:20She's been crazy about this guy forever, and she shows up late.
00:01:23Are you kidding me?
00:01:24You know what the student said to me?
00:01:26Well, when I feel loved, I get this all-encompassing sense of calm.
00:01:30So I sleep like a baby.
00:01:32Like I'm sleeping for the first time in my life.
00:01:36That's how I slept last night.
00:01:38I'm sorry.
00:01:54I was dyin'd by a girl after I loved it.
00:01:55Like I tell him, as if you don't think the weather was a little different,
00:01:56You chose to sleep.
00:01:57You know that I'm a boy.
00:01:58And it's okay to have been ready for him.
00:01:59That's how I met you know what I'm so tired.
00:02:02I'm here to go to read!
00:02:04So I'm back to dilute the workout list.
00:02:09It's you.
00:02:22Hey, what's going on?
00:02:25Well, the sleep I got was incredible.
00:02:28Okay, good for you.
00:02:29I couldn't sleep to save my life.
00:02:32What? Why?
00:02:34I sent a new script to Una, and I still haven't heard back.
00:02:40It's torture.
00:02:42Are you ready to be left blind, deaf, and dumb, dude?
00:02:49Hey, I have to go. She's calling me.
00:02:56Okay.
00:02:58Oh, uh, hi, Una.
00:03:00Good morning.
00:03:03It's pretty good.
00:03:07That's great.
00:03:09Oh, I'm so anxious.
00:03:11Una, so listen, you're still at the office, right?
00:03:14Can I, can I buy you dinner?
00:03:16I can't do tonight, actually.
00:03:18I'll email you the notes, though.
00:03:35How have you been feeling lately?
00:03:38Uh, well, um, I feel okay.
00:03:44The data tells you that anyway, right?
00:04:01Sometimes the data we collect doesn't match a participant's perceptions of their own feelings.
00:04:06Could you tell me how you're feeling right now?
00:04:10Huh?
00:04:11Just tell me how you're feeling right now.
00:04:13I'd say okay.
00:04:14Okay.
00:04:16Okay.
00:04:16Okay.
00:04:40This way.
00:04:43I just wanted to bring your attention to something.
00:04:48We found another unknown emotion that exhibits the same pattern as yours.
00:04:56Here.
00:04:58This data matches your emotional profile when you get a nosebleed.
00:05:29It's only been recorded once, so we'll need to monitor it.
00:05:32We'll need to monitor it a little more, but still, you're definitely not alone.
00:05:48We'll need to monitor it a little more, but still, you're definitely not alone.
00:05:51Hi.
00:05:57there's an unknown i guess there are 20 or so rogue emotions they haven't found a name for
00:06:05people with the same pattern get grouped together later and try to come up with a solution
00:06:10like this name would work for that one oh yeah i bet that'd be fun i like naming stuff it's
00:06:15exciting that's how one of my emotions is unknown i gotta ask when does the unknown happen to you
00:06:27nosebleeds like clockwork
00:06:34typically when i'm angry or i'm in despair or i feel alone or helpless and numb
00:06:43then the nosebleeds start isn't that blood pressure
00:06:52yeah i'm curious what kind of emotion that is you think of a name for it
00:07:01i've been calling it implosion
00:07:14somehow that sounds a bit more serious than hungry your show's hungry yep it does
00:07:21that's not an emotion though is it you wouldn't think so except it fit the situation that's when
00:07:27i was blown away whoever called that hungry certainly deserves an award i was really hurting
00:07:32still i was super impressed wow hungry that was exactly the right word
00:07:38the thing is i'm a sucker for anybody who knows how to paint a picture with words
00:07:43my brother used to write stories and poetry he said there are two kinds of writers those who read
00:07:48the dictionary cover to cover and those who never do he read it a whole bunch of times actually
00:07:54the vocabulary he built up was out of this world he had this strong desire to extract all kinds of
00:08:00truths using words what does your brother do now
00:08:06well at this point he drinks more and more and welts to make money
00:08:13and he's still looking for those truths
00:08:20better a mugshot than a funeral photo better to explode than implode
00:08:40for the longest time i've just had trouble actually seeing people
00:08:47they're just these masses globs of feeling wow oh man i love that globs of feeling
00:08:57like what if someone wasn't just blood and bones what if a single emotion kept building
00:09:02over time consuming them
00:09:06i bet you can find emotions that perfectly capture everyone in here
00:09:15guarded
00:09:17arrogant
00:09:19vain
00:09:21angry
00:09:29resentful

00:09:34whoa every person's just a
00:09:37clop of feeling
00:09:38that's sad but there aren't a lot of positive ones
00:09:40whoa
00:09:42every time i took the train
00:09:43i used to think why are they all so ugly
00:09:47now i know it wasn't their faces though
00:09:49their emotions made them look so hideous
00:09:52that's why kids are beautiful
00:09:54their emotions haven't congealed yet
00:09:56well you're right
00:09:59and me
00:10:00what kind of glob do you see

00:10:20you nailed it
00:10:23panicked
00:10:25but isn't panic or anxiety just a human default though
00:10:29like we're all so atomized you know
00:10:31how could you not be worried and nervous
00:10:34wanna know what my favorite word is
00:10:37tranquil
00:10:39tranquil
00:10:42i've never truly experienced that word before
00:10:44but i can imagine what it's like
00:10:47utterly relaxed and secure
00:10:50very serene and chill
00:10:54sort of like
00:10:55jumping under the covers with a comic book in winter
00:10:57while munching on
00:10:58berries
00:11:00even better than that
00:11:03well i'm such a motor mouth
00:11:04it serves a purpose though
00:11:06anxiety marches on in my mind like an army
00:11:09my mouth starts going a mile a minute
00:11:10blah blah blah
00:11:11gradually i can fight it off and
00:11:13bang
00:11:13silence scares me
00:11:15so i run my mouth
00:11:17i'm scared that if it's silent i don't know
00:11:19i'm scared the truth will just jump out
00:11:22bang
00:11:27what truth exactly
00:11:38well if i keep quiet
00:11:44i feel like this golem looking demon will show up
00:11:48lean in and whisper in my ear
00:11:50you are
00:11:53utterly worthless
00:12:00you are
00:12:02utterly worthless
00:12:05i'm sorry
00:12:32i don't know what that's
00:12:58I don't usually watch the films I do.
00:13:04To be honest, it's more like I can't.
00:13:06I feel like nothing I do is right.
00:13:10Except this time, the script of the movie was so good,
00:13:14there really was no way to get it wrong.
00:13:17I thought, finally, I'll make something I won't be ashamed to show my daughter.
00:13:25As her forerunner in the industry before I was her mom,
00:13:29even then I knew that would be important for her.
00:13:38Jerry wants to go for a drink at Aji tonight.
00:13:40He said he wants to treat you.
00:13:42He's over the moon right now.
00:13:44We hit a million.
00:13:45Now he's buzzing about hitting ten and breaking all the records.
00:13:49You're coming, right?
00:13:52Oh, I've got a reservation at this restaurant I've waited two months for.
00:13:55Oh man, so you're willing to wait that long for a reservation?
00:13:58Well, I'm very serious about food.
00:14:02So shall we join Mr. Che? I believe he's waiting.
00:14:05Don't put it that way. Very serious about food.
00:14:08Just say, I like to eat good food. That would sound more serious.
00:14:13Picking up on whatever phrase is popular just to sound hip, trendy, or cool,
00:14:18is forced and clumsy.
00:14:21Actors that come off as inauthentic are just like bad politicians.
00:14:24They don't last long.
00:14:28We'll drink some other time.
00:14:29Sure, yeah.
00:14:39See you at home then.
00:14:41See you later.
00:14:58Get off your phone. Come on, man.
00:15:01Are you that thrilled?
00:15:03Yeah, the numbers are so good I can taste it.
00:15:07Check out the real-time box office.
00:15:10I haven't seen numbers that big in forever.
00:15:13Hell yeah.
00:15:14The daughter flops so hard, and it's the mother who saves the day.
00:15:18My bad for tanking the movie.
00:15:20Hey, don't say that. The business is fickle.
00:15:22You make ten flops for every one winner, am I right?
00:15:25Here's hoping it doesn't take forever.
00:15:27Stick with me, I'm telling you.
00:15:29You'll make a big hit before long, Heijin.
00:15:32Alright, guys.
00:15:34Here's to ten million!
00:15:36Cheers!
00:15:37Cheers!
00:15:43What's Kyung Se up to tonight?
00:15:44He should get over here and have a drink.
00:15:46I don't think so.
00:15:47He's not doing great right now.
00:15:58Wait a second.
00:16:10Don't see that.
00:16:12Listen, hang on.
00:16:13What's wrong, okay?
00:16:14Don't go.
00:16:15I don't think so.
00:16:19I know.
00:16:20His ноги.
00:16:22Your legs are gonna get better.
00:16:23They're gonna get the King role of my car.
00:16:25And he's got a couple foot away.
00:16:27There won't take a quarter.
00:16:28And he's got a couple foot away.
00:16:29That's right, okay.
00:16:30Oh man.
00:16:31I'm gonna get the last one.
00:16:31He's got a couple foot away.
00:16:32That's right, man.
00:16:32Turn it over to your staff, right.
00:16:33How are we going to get here?
00:16:35And it's a great guy.
00:16:35Ahem.
00:16:37Ahem.
00:17:05Ahem.
00:17:19Try something other than drinking on your day off. Get some rest, will you?
00:17:52Ahem.
00:17:53Read this, Huang Dongman.
00:17:55This is an era where everyone posts every piece of crap they can come up with,
00:17:59like stray dogs shitting on the pavement.
00:18:01And unfortunately, we see your crap every single day.
00:18:05We open the group chat and it's a landfill full of the garbage that comes from your brain.
00:18:09Deal with your trash on your own.
00:18:12Every time I think of you, I get so pissed off, even before my day starts.
00:18:16And it's because I wake up to the litany of mindless words you've written.
00:18:21And then all the things I never got a chance to say to you come back to me.
00:18:25Damn it, that would have been good.
00:18:27Oh, I should have said that too.
00:18:29And I'd lie awake stewing on it.
00:18:31So I finally sat down and laid it all out nice and clear.
00:18:36I want you to read this out loud.
00:18:38The way I did when you wrote your reviews.
00:18:41And I want you to chew on it and swallow it the way I did.
00:18:46Painfully.
00:18:48Painfully.
00:18:49Grind it between your teeth and force it down.
00:18:52No veggies on your plate, huh?
00:18:58Number one.
00:18:59When the entire country was going crazy over Kitty's drama,
00:19:02you still refused to watch it even though he's your friend.
00:19:05You know what you said?
00:19:06For some reason, I don't want to watch anything everyone else likes.
00:19:10I think that's the problem here.
00:19:11I'm too niche for you.
00:19:12I think that's the problem here.
00:19:14I'm too niche for you.
00:19:16Remember the mood in the room when you said that?
00:19:19How everyone went quiet?
00:19:22Why do you think we reacted like that?
00:19:25Yup.
00:19:26We were all pissed off.
00:19:28You know exactly what your problem is.
00:19:30I know it. We all know it.
00:19:32You're always trying to one-up whoever's in front of you.
00:19:35We had every right to be pissed off.
00:19:38Do I need to name all the great niche filmmakers?
00:19:40You want a full list of the niche directors who are killing it?
00:19:43Your problem isn't that you're too niche.
00:19:46Your problem is you're not good.
00:19:49Your stuff's boring.
00:19:51Dude!
00:19:57Oh, jeez!
00:20:16They're really going all the way with this.
00:20:18Whoa.
00:20:20Hong Dongman's gonna want to lay down in traffic.
00:20:23What is it?
00:20:26Oh, God.
00:20:39They do look real.
00:20:40The grip's amazing, dude.
00:20:43Totally feels like a real rifle.
00:20:49What's it about then?
00:20:51A government agency which kills any citizen who stresses out the public.
00:20:56Nice.
00:20:57Well, sounds like a whole bunch of politicians are gonna get iced.
00:21:00Hmm.
00:21:08Bang!
00:21:10Really just two moves to load this one so it doesn't have the same impact on film.
00:21:14If you're gonna kill someone, you want it to really hit home.
00:21:20Bang!
00:21:23You're gonna want at least four moves like that.
00:21:25It gives you some bang for your buck so you get people jumping out of their seats.
00:21:29And what about real guns?
00:21:32You could use them, sure.
00:21:33But it would be tough.
00:21:35They'd be at a police station where a gun company would drop them off.
00:21:38Then your crew would have to pick them up on schedule.
00:21:40And then you have to return them right on the dot.
00:21:43Honestly, the whole process isn't worth the hassle.
00:21:45There's really no difference.
00:21:47They look real.
00:21:47Don't you think so?
00:21:51See, you flinched.
00:21:52Come on, I got you.
00:21:53No?
00:21:56Awesome, right?
00:22:28No.
00:22:29Number two.
00:22:31When we went on that promo trip, you had the nerve to ask a well-known director what his name
00:22:36was.
00:22:36You acted like a big shot saying,
00:22:38I don't know you, to people who obviously wouldn't know you either.
00:22:42Everyone else kept a low profile the whole trip.
00:22:45But you had to run your mouth because you were scared people might see just how insignificant you really are.
00:22:49You kept blabbing on and on like your pathetic, worthless life depended on it.
00:22:55And in the end, all you did was prove that you're a nobody.
00:22:58That's why we never invite you on promo trips anymore.
00:23:04You're a liability, Dongman.
00:23:08And we don't need you tagging along and embarrassing us.
00:23:13Number three.
00:23:15You get rejected from every submission, but you just apply again.
00:23:19And again.
00:23:20Mr. Huang Dongman.
00:23:21Yeah.
00:23:27Number three.
00:23:28Again.
00:23:29No, really.
00:23:30You get rejected from every program and fellowship again.
00:23:33And again.
00:23:35For some reason, you just won't give up.
00:23:37And now I'm starting to think...
00:23:40Maybe what Dongman actually wants is to grow old and die doing this.
00:23:53Oh, hey.
00:23:54You came.
00:23:55Hi.
00:24:02Oh.
00:24:06Oh.
00:24:06Hey, Dongman.
00:24:07Did you read it?
00:24:10I know you can hear this.
00:24:16Read it out loud.
00:24:18Chew it up and swallow it.
00:24:20All right?
00:24:23That moron is such a bad actor.
00:24:25Hey, come on.
00:24:26Knock it off, okay?
00:24:31Ugh.
00:24:33What's wrong?
00:24:34Dongman walked by again just now.
00:24:37Really?
00:24:39He didn't read the damn thing.
00:24:42I'm 100% sure.
00:24:44The message says read.
00:24:46Yeah, I bet he just marked it as read.
00:24:48What causes the emergence of mental illness?
00:24:52Not facing it.
00:24:53He won't read it.
00:24:54He can't.
00:24:55It'd kill him, right?
00:24:56He'd be crushed.
00:24:57That prick always does this.
00:24:59When someone jabs at him, he...
00:25:03Just tunes it out.
00:25:04You'd think it would hit him where it hurts.
00:25:06But ah, somehow he just laughs and moves on.
00:25:08You too.
00:25:10I've been dumping crap lately.
00:25:12Obviously I'm aware of that.
00:25:14I want to show him he's not the only one who can drop garbage in our chat.
00:25:17You know, Chunwan thought maybe an emotion watch could help you.
00:25:20Tell that idiot he needs medicine, not a watch designed for morons.
00:25:32What was that?
00:25:34Shit.
00:25:36Damn it.
00:25:37What the hell?
00:25:41Ah, shit.
00:25:43That son of a bitch.
00:25:44Whoa.
00:25:46You little prick, I swear.
00:25:49Ah, shit.
00:25:50Damn it.
00:25:51Come on, man.
00:25:52Where are you going?
00:25:54Ah, jeez.
00:25:56Shit.
00:25:57Shit.
00:26:09Really?
00:26:10Ah, man, really.
00:26:11Huh...
00:26:12...
00:26:19Really?
00:26:39I can't bring myself to read it.
00:26:44Look, there's something I didn't tell you.
00:26:49If you screw up, you'll see there's a ton of shit you wrote about me first.
00:26:55Why do you think I was so mean?
00:26:56Chum, chum, chum!
00:27:01You think I booted him out of this place and broke his puny little heart just because I couldn't stand
00:27:07him?
00:27:08No, I banned Dongmen because you lose your shit over him. It's getting embarrassing!
00:27:12You get so rattled every time he sends a message!
00:27:16Young filmmakers won't respect that. How about the staff? It's shameful!
00:27:21I'm done with it! You keep this up, I will replace that sign on the door.
00:27:24Park Kyung-se is forbidden from entering!
00:27:33Shit!
00:27:43Yep, ten million. We're on track to hit it. Yeah.
00:27:49If I retired tomorrow morning, I'd be pretty much set forever. That's not how it goes, right? You just try
00:27:54to do it again.
00:27:58Hey, sorry. I just saw something kinda weird. You probably wanna see this.
00:28:04Look, I'll call you back later, alright? Okay. Weird, huh? What is it?
00:28:18But Miran's not related to that woman at all.
00:28:39How long ago has this been posted? Huh? Yeah, hi. Have you seen the post yet?
00:28:48What is it?
00:28:56What is it?
00:28:59But Miran's not related to that woman, even though they act all proud to be family and whatever.
00:29:04Big time cringe, right?
00:29:07I remember that girl from elementary school, 23 years ago. Pyeon something.
00:29:16She's Oh Jung-hee's daughter, but she was living alone without her parents.
00:29:21She was neglected.
00:29:25Back then, Oh Jung-hee wasn't well known, but she was always too classy and stylish for that run-down
00:29:30neighborhood.
00:29:31So I remember her name very clearly.
00:29:35Compared to her, her daughter was just a quiet, ordinary kid.
00:29:39Honestly, I didn't think much of it at the time, but looking back now, I feel terrible for that little
00:29:44girl.
00:29:46I wonder how she's doing.
00:29:49I hope her life has turned out well.
00:29:52Please, just stop!
00:29:54You never get sick of the movie industry, even though it starves your family, but you're sick of me?
00:29:58Are you kidding me? You really missed that hellhole?
00:30:03One day, my dad left.
00:30:09Then another day, my mom left.
00:30:16I went to school like nothing happened.
00:30:20My heart was pounding so hard, it felt like my whole body was trembling.
00:30:25But I went to school as if everything was fine.
00:30:28Ate alone.
00:30:30And slept alone.
00:30:36Why didn't you tell anyone?
00:30:40What about somebody at school?
00:30:42A teacher you knew?
00:30:48Was the problem that you thought it was dangerous?
00:30:51Uh, no.
00:30:56I was trying to hide that I'd been abandoned.
00:31:16All it takes is a few words from the daughter.
00:31:18My childhood was fine, it's all a big lie.
00:31:20It'd be much simpler that way, so why put out a statement making an excuse?
00:31:25Everybody knows that Miss Oh got divorced when she was young.
00:31:28Her husband raised the girl.
00:31:29Come on, that's not neglect.
00:31:30Yeah, that's one side of the story. Facts don't matter right now.
00:31:33Making a credible narrative is what matters.
00:31:36The daughter needs to speak publicly first for it to seem real.
00:31:39Jung Hee's welcome to say what she wants, but who will believe her?
00:31:42How exactly are we supposed to put out feelers to the daughter?
00:31:45We can't reach her.
00:31:46Great, she can't even make contact with her daughter.
00:31:49Listen.
00:31:50You can feel it, right?
00:31:51This is a really bad sign.
00:31:52Forget about my mother tanking right before 10 million.
00:31:55At this rate, one wrong move in Oh Jung Hee's career could be over.
00:32:02Oh, geez.
00:32:03Okay, fine then.
00:32:04Yeah, get a statement, just have her...
00:32:08Sounds sad and contrite.
00:32:09As heartbreaking as possible, like, the way I handled that is my lifelong regret.
00:32:13We got divorced when she was little, but I did everything I could to make sure she was raised right.
00:32:18Drafted and rented by Jung Hee.
00:32:19Just make sure she's okay with releasing it, because either way,
00:32:23she'll know whether or not it's ready to go out.
00:32:28You can't just release it!
00:32:30If her daughter comes forward and contradicts her, you'll ruin Jung Hee's life and career.
00:32:34So you better ask first.
00:32:41Mr. Pak, please.
00:32:43You have to find her.
00:32:45Just find the daughter!
00:32:47Get him to smooth it over or have Jung Hee beg.
00:32:49I don't care.
00:32:50Just find her so this doesn't come back to bite us.
00:32:56Whoever posted this, DM the guy.
00:32:58Say remove it or our office will be forced to sue you for slander.
00:33:01Just freak him out.
00:33:03Got it?
00:33:04Mm-hmm.
00:33:05Damn it!
00:33:21So she abandoned her pathetic husband and child who weren't good enough for her.
00:33:30And replaced them with a shiny new husband and child.
00:33:36She got everything she wanted.
00:33:38Guess people like that really do exist.
00:33:53When I was crushed under a depression that felt like a weight so heavy I couldn't even sit up,
00:33:58what I desperately wanted was weather.
00:34:04If it were a warm spring day with cherry blossoms in the air,
00:34:10I'd be reading this message from Gyeong Se as if it were a tender love letter.
00:34:14That's fine.
00:34:37I didn't know what I was just saying were there.
00:34:42After all that, the stage would be photographers who managed toяти
00:34:56All right, let me see.
00:34:57I am not saying all this to help you become a better version of yourself, okay?
00:35:02Because at this point, it pissed me off so much more
00:35:05if you cleaned up your act and got your life together.
00:35:10Even when I'm dying, I have a feeling I'll take comfort
00:35:13knowing you're exactly where you always were.
00:35:17So please, do me a favor and stay consistent until the end.
00:35:24Do me a favor and stay consistent until the end.
00:35:29Number seven.
00:35:31Oh, jeez.
00:35:33Oh my god, this message is long.
00:35:35That isn't the end. He already mentioned death.
00:35:49You know, I really believed you when you said you were going for a commercial hit.
00:35:55And when I read the first draft, I was like, wow, he put in some serious effort.
00:36:00If he heads this direction, he could really score.
00:36:04So how did you stray back into that B-movie territory you're known for?
00:36:09I mean, it's draft two. What's the deal?
00:36:11Well, one thing's for sure.
00:36:14You think an actor will be on board with this?
00:36:17Really?
00:36:18Nope. See? Not A-listers.
00:36:20What?
00:36:21You plan to put B-list talent in your movie just to make sure it gets made?
00:36:25You said you were done doing that, right?
00:36:27We talked about this when you signed with me.
00:36:29Don't go back on that.
00:36:30Look, the characters are intense, so I get your concern.
00:36:34But it won't feel inauthentic.
00:36:36Una said this version was way better than the first draft.
00:36:45Pyeong-una's word means it's okay now?
00:36:48Every time I have feedback lately, you all go, Una said it was good.
00:36:52You people believe her no matter what.
00:36:53Oh, Una. Una's the best.
00:36:55You haven't heard any word on the street?
00:36:57I've been cracking the whip with her now.
00:37:00Want to keep your office?
00:37:02She's unbiased with scripts.
00:37:04She doesn't cast it in her mind with real people.
00:37:06But you're supposed to be picturing specific movie stars.
00:37:09Oh, I get it.
00:37:11That's why the script was so frustrating.
00:37:13I couldn't picture the cast.
00:37:20Una, my office.
00:37:25She's soft as a pool noodle, to think people called her the axe.
00:37:29Hey, come on.
00:37:42I heard you said this was good.
00:37:45Who do you think we should cast?
00:37:47Let's hear your casting plan.
00:37:55Answer me.
00:37:57Zhang Mirad, sir.
00:37:58Think you'd be crazy enough to destroy your career over this?
00:38:01You're gonna approach her yourself, Una.
00:38:04You're supposed to think about casting when you read.
00:38:07You think because you liked it,
00:38:08what, we're gonna send it to print and market it as a book?
00:38:12Now I'm mad.
00:38:14Please do your job.
00:38:25Sorry, Una.
00:38:26I guess I should have fought harder in there.
00:38:29No, it's okay.
00:38:32You're right.
00:38:32It's better than the first draft.
00:38:35Let's keep fighting for the best version, all right?
00:38:50You got a bunch of texts from Dongman.
00:38:56You must be like besties.
00:38:58What?
00:38:59You hoping he's cool deep down?
00:39:04You must be embarrassed, right?
00:39:15No, I'm more embarrassed by how petty you are.
00:39:30You know what I think?
00:39:33You'd be so much better off just moving out of the industry.
00:39:37You had your time in the spotlight,
00:39:38but don't let that one little moment fool you.
00:39:41Because you don't have anything to offer.
00:39:43You're not special.
00:39:44If you cling to that delusion,
00:39:45you could turn out like Dongman
00:39:46and end up wasting 20 years on it.
00:40:10Delivery.
00:40:12Delivery.
00:40:14You did really well.
00:40:16The keeper plus from this builder, I am.
00:40:19Looks like it's early to crawl along the way.
00:40:20I've been in the same place.
00:40:23$2,000,000, please. No card for the ref, though.
00:40:25$28,001, please.
00:40:28Food's here.
00:40:36Hey, food's here!
00:40:38Can you take the shot?
00:40:40Then off the crossbow.
00:40:46That's gotta be frustrating for kids.
00:40:48Hey.
00:40:49These guys aren't getting many chances like that.
00:40:53That's what you think of your room.
00:40:58How much?
00:40:59$28,000.
00:41:06Can you tell your food?
00:41:08Thanks.
00:41:27Oh, my God.
00:41:29Look at that.
00:41:30Seems like you barely noticed.
00:41:32What's my fish on the right way?
00:41:33Yes.
00:41:35What the fish sauce?
00:41:37You have to be like?
00:41:38You can make it on that.
00:41:43This is the car.
00:41:45This is the car.
00:42:10This is the car.
00:42:27Why are you calling so late, huh?
00:42:31Tell me something funny.
00:42:36Can you see me or something?
00:42:39How did you know?
00:42:41Because I'm telling you I had the weirdest experience just now.
00:42:45Basically, I ordered some food and lay down.
00:42:47I was awake though.
00:42:48And I could hear my brother moving around.
00:42:51Then out of nowhere, he just...
00:42:54He walks right over.
00:42:55And he starts stomping on my back really hard.
00:42:58And he puts all his weight into it.
00:43:00So I'm like, has he lost his mind?
00:43:02I'm tired, pissed off, but too lazy to get up.
00:43:05And then...
00:43:06I hear him across the room reaching for another soju.
00:43:17Then who the heck is on my back right now?
00:43:22Sleep paralysis.
00:43:24From that moment on, I feel like I'm dying.
00:43:26I can't do anything.
00:43:27I can't so much as lift a finger.
00:43:29You know how it is.
00:43:30No matter how hard you try, nothing works.
00:43:33This bastard's up there, dancing on my back,
00:43:35and I'm losing my mind.
00:43:38And right then...
00:43:40Delivery!
00:43:42I'm saved.
00:43:44Food's here.
00:43:45Please, for the love of God, someone kick me.
00:43:47Food's here!
00:43:48Just kick me.
00:43:50One good kick.
00:43:50Pow!
00:43:51Send your heel right into my head.
00:43:54Yes.
00:43:54That's it.
00:43:55Closer.
00:43:58Hey.
00:43:59Just kick me, you big dumbass.
00:44:00Do it, please.
00:44:05Oh, shit.
00:44:09I feel like I'm dying, and he's just sitting there,
00:44:12knocking them back.
00:44:14Suddenly, it all felt so unfair.
00:44:16Don't I have enough battles in my life,
00:44:17now I have to fight sleep paralysis too?
00:44:20Forget it.
00:44:21I'm not fighting this.
00:44:23Fine.
00:44:23You win sleep paralysis.
00:44:25Not like I was gonna die anyway.
00:44:27You know how it is.
00:44:29You feel like you're about to die, you let go,
00:44:31then you're okay.
00:44:33Fine.
00:44:34You win sleep paralysis.
00:44:37Stomp on me, crush me, do your worst.
00:44:39I'm just gonna lie here and imagine reading comic books
00:44:41under the covers in winter.
00:44:43So I just stayed very still.
00:44:46And the weird thing is...
00:44:49Once I stayed still and didn't resist,
00:44:51it felt like the sleep paralysis got thrown off.
00:44:54Like it wanted to struggle, and I just went...
00:44:57Okay.
00:44:59I surrender.
00:45:01And then I stayed still.
00:45:03And had lost steam.
00:45:07And the spell broke.
00:45:15And the spell broke.
00:45:19It felt like I had learned something.
00:45:23No, sometimes it's worth putting up a fight,
00:45:25and sometimes it's not.
00:45:27Sleep paralysis is one of those things where...
00:45:29you're better off giving in.
00:45:43Don't fight whatever it is that's bothering you.
00:45:46Just try to ignore it.
00:45:48And it'll pass, just like sleep paralysis.
00:45:52Just let it pass.
00:45:59Now that we talked, I feel better, Una.
00:46:02I've been pretty down lately.
00:46:04Talking really lifts my spirit, I guess.
00:46:10What's been bothering you?
00:46:15Well, actually, my script was a finalist.
00:46:18But then I went for the interview.
00:46:19By the way, I always get to the finals.
00:46:22Anyway.
00:46:25If you make it that far, then it's pretty clear, you know?
00:46:28Whether or not it's gonna work out.
00:46:31So yeah, I was just sitting there thinking,
00:46:33ugh, I'm not gonna get this one either.
00:46:36Then right at the end, one of the judges asked me why I wanna make films.
00:46:42And when she did...
00:46:48I got...
00:46:50choked up in the middle of the answer.
00:46:51So embarrassing.
00:46:52It just...
00:46:55What did you say?
00:46:58Why do you wanna make films?
00:46:59Yes.
00:47:09When some...
00:47:12Somewhere else makes something...
00:47:17You've never met, but it impacts you.
00:47:28It makes you feel less alone.
00:47:37Oh, I...
00:47:39I'm not even upset over the grant.
00:47:41It's more that I broke down in there, gosh.
00:47:44It's driving me nuts right now.
00:47:47Wow.
00:47:47Oh, jeez.
00:47:48On top of all that, wow.
00:47:51Oh, man.
00:47:54All for one.
00:47:56One for all.
00:48:00Seriously?
00:48:02Uh...
00:48:03All for one, one for all.
00:48:04What is that?
00:48:05What do I do?
00:48:06I'm so embarrassed.
00:48:07Oh, jeez.
00:48:16Yeah.
00:48:31My nose stopped bleeding.
00:48:39Ugh!
00:48:39Oh
00:49:44So why do you have Kim Hyun Tae's script, huh?
00:49:47Because nobody's seen it, not even the producer.
00:49:50Stop going behind people's backs to read scripts for directors.
00:49:52Do you understand?
00:49:56Take a look.
00:50:18If you get choked up while you're writing,
00:50:21the audience will get choked up too.
00:50:23Make yourself crack up and the audience will crack up too.
00:50:28And if you're heartbroken, people will feel that heartbreak, okay?
00:50:33Did you make yourself laugh or cry while writing this?
00:50:38You think stringing letters together makes it writing?
00:50:41The goal is to evoke a feeling.
00:50:44As children, we walked around like this, right?
00:50:45You know?
00:50:47Didn't we?
00:50:48See anybody going around like that as an adult?
00:50:50You ever see adults that happy?
00:50:51Nope, you don't.
00:50:53That's why the movies exist, you guys.
00:50:56To move our souls, to make us feel,
00:50:59to break our hearts, to get us laughing,
00:51:03to revive our emotions, to make us feel reborn.
00:51:06Don't slap a story together with a bunch of random words.
00:51:09Bang, bang, bang.
00:51:10Move it forward.
00:51:11Make us feel.
00:51:12Ha-cha-cha.
00:51:13Move it forward?
00:51:13But how do we do that, though?
00:51:19Open a thousand doors.
00:51:21And don't think twice.
00:51:22Just ha-cha-cha-cha-cha.
00:51:24For the background music,
00:51:26go with...
00:51:27guitar.
00:51:28Guitar!
00:51:31Guitar!
00:52:12You've got to...
00:52:15You've got to face your fear sometimes
00:52:17to move forward with, uh...
00:52:26What?
00:52:28Why?
00:52:32Whenever someone really disrespects me,
00:52:34I have a lot of trouble deciding what to do.
00:52:37Should I ignore it or deal with it head on?
00:52:42And before this, I chose to ignore it.
00:52:45Now I feel different.
00:52:47I think I'll face it head on.
00:52:51You've never seemed like a very powerful person to me,
00:52:54Mr. Che.
00:52:56You're a big old pain in the ass.
00:52:59Please don't confuse the two anymore.
00:53:02Also,
00:53:03I know I'm quiet and reserved,
00:53:05but I'm not weak or scared of you.
00:53:08Don't confuse those anymore, either.
00:53:14And don't think I'm making some last-ditch move
00:53:17because I want to go out in a blaze of glory.
00:53:20I'm not going to quit.
00:53:32This one?
00:53:33It's sort of thrilling, huh?
00:53:35Watching someone else fall behind.
00:53:38I know, it's fun.
00:53:39I understand.
00:53:40I felt that, too.
00:53:42Just say it.
00:53:44If Dongman was here,
00:53:45you'd insult him to his face.
00:53:48Just say,
00:53:48I'm so glad you fell out of Mr. Che's graces.
00:53:53It'd be cute if you put up a fight.
00:53:57What are you doing?
00:54:04Hey, Axe!
00:54:05I'm leaving early.
00:54:08What's the matter?
00:54:09Would you rather I just sit here in this lovely atmosphere?
00:54:12I'm good at putting up with tough things.
00:54:15And I've been at my desk
00:54:16just putting up with tough things
00:54:18since I was nine so I can take it.
00:54:21Question is,
00:54:22can the rest of you?
00:54:46Is something in the damn water?
00:54:48Why are all the lackeys acting out?
00:54:52Where are you?
00:54:55Ajit.
00:54:55I want to see you.
00:54:57Come out.
00:55:12Hey, it's Dongman.
00:55:15Hey, it's Dongman.
00:55:28All right.
00:55:30So,
00:55:31did you chew on my message
00:55:32and swallow it?
00:55:36You know,
00:55:38I actually wound up getting sleep paralysis
00:55:40because I used up all my energy
00:55:41reading your notes.
00:55:43Every sentence stung,
00:55:45like a hot poker
00:55:46pushed into my skin all day.
00:55:49Like I was getting
00:55:50the worst tattoo ever.
00:55:53You should start writing like that!
00:55:56You son of a...
00:55:57What do you think you are?
00:56:00It was dripping with heart and soul.
00:56:03You know,
00:56:04I truly believe it's Kyungse's best work.
00:56:06Wish your stories are like that!
00:56:07You little bastard!
00:56:08You want to die?
00:56:09No, no, no, stop, stop, stop.
00:56:11You know what pisses me off most?
00:56:13That you assume
00:56:14I'm just sad and dejected.
00:56:15I'm guessing you think
00:56:16I'm a loser
00:56:17and because I'm no one in the industry
00:56:18I should stay down.
00:56:19Why does Dongman act out so much, right?
00:56:22I gotta tell you though,
00:56:24and this could come as a shock.
00:56:26I...
00:56:27think you guys
00:56:28underestimate how happy I am.
00:56:32Some rich prick
00:56:33might look at a complex
00:56:34with basement apartments
00:56:35and go,
00:56:35does anyone really live down there?
00:56:38That's bad.
00:56:39Oh my gosh,
00:56:39must be horrible, right?
00:56:41They can suck at people
00:56:42live, laugh, and love
00:56:43just fine down there.
00:56:44They're not pretending.
00:56:46Turns out they're just
00:56:47not as depressed.
00:56:49Didn't you think
00:56:50you'd be happy
00:56:51when your debut feature
00:56:52was in the can?
00:56:53You thought a whole new world
00:56:54would open up, right?
00:56:56And did it?
00:56:57Huh?
00:56:58Not at all.
00:56:59You're still stuck.
00:57:01I have managed to write
00:57:0214 scripts with no debut.
00:57:04Does it matter at all?
00:57:05It doesn't.
00:57:06You and I are exactly the same.
00:57:08The thing is,
00:57:09I'm as happy as you
00:57:10and I can be just as miserable.
00:57:13Yeah.
00:57:13Actually,
00:57:14the way my life is going,
00:57:15it's better than yours.
00:57:18So it sounds like
00:57:19you're not superior, are you?
00:57:21Right?
00:57:22You're not better than anyone.
00:57:24This is either serious self-deception
00:57:26or plain old mental illness.
00:57:28Also,
00:57:29you tell me to put a sock in it,
00:57:31but I won't ever talk less.
00:57:32Because jokes are the only way
00:57:34I can make it clear I exist.
00:57:35If I shut my mouth,
00:57:36it's over.
00:57:37What's life?
00:57:37It's a story.
00:57:38And if you stop telling it,
00:57:39you're dead.
00:57:40You can't stop me
00:57:40from making my jokes, all right?
00:57:42That'd be the same
00:57:43as trying to suffocate me.
00:57:44And even if the world
00:57:46ends tomorrow and it's over,
00:57:47today I'm going to be cracking jokes.
00:57:49Because that could be
00:57:50the only mark I leave on the world.
00:57:52What?
00:57:52Look at me when I'm talking.
00:58:00Hey.
00:58:02Hey, your brother refuses
00:58:03to take a seat
00:58:04and fade into the background.
00:58:05He says even if the world
00:58:07ends tomorrow,
00:58:08he'll be cracking jokes
00:58:09and taking pot shots,
00:58:10same as now.
00:58:11You told us to stop standing still
00:58:13and got yourself all worked up.
00:58:14So why don't you just let us
00:58:16do crazy shit till we die?
00:58:17That's what your brother wants to do.
00:58:24Holy shit!
00:58:31No!
00:58:33Hey.
00:58:34Call the cops right now.
00:58:36Call them.
00:58:37Deal with him.

00:58:52Oh!
00:58:53Oh!
00:58:55Hang on.
00:58:56Hang on.
00:58:56He's going to kill us.
00:58:56What are you doing?
00:58:57Grab his arm!
00:58:58You're behind the card!
00:58:59You're behind the card!
00:58:59You're behind the card!
00:58:59Oh, sorry!
00:59:00Where are you?
00:59:01Ah!
00:59:02It's too strong.
00:59:03I can't hold them back forever.
00:59:04Get off of me.
00:59:06Let's go!
00:59:10Are you okay?

01:01:58You
