00:00:16To be continued...
00:00:42Why did you want to make a movie about the weather?
00:00:45I don't know. I had this feeling. I can't explain it.
00:00:51I like that. I can't explain it.
00:00:56I think you're the first person to say you like that I can't explain something.
00:01:02Well, there are always those freaks who need to find the right words for every feeling.
00:01:06For them, I can't explain it. It must be terrifying.
00:01:09But for me, when someone says they can't explain something, it makes me want to engage with them.
00:01:15Like, that's right, of course you can't explain it.
00:01:19How could you put abstract feelings into concrete language?
00:01:26So that's what it is. I can't take my abstraction and translate it into a concrete sentence.
00:01:33Words will always fail to express our inner lives. You could try for the next hundred years.
00:01:38That's probably true. Let me explain as best I can why I wanted the story to be about the weather.
00:01:45You get that language has limitations. That makes me want to do my best.
00:01:52Okay.
00:01:53So it's... just a feeling.
00:01:59But sometimes when it's snowing, when I sit and watch the blizzard, I get so much lighter.
00:02:11I spend... so much of my life completely absorbed in myself.
00:02:17To the point where I want the whole world to revolve around me.
00:02:21I feel like everyone on Earth needs to know my story.
00:02:25So I keep talking and talking and talking.
00:02:28But then I watch the snow, or the rain pour down.
00:02:31And I feel myself starting to fade.
00:02:35But here's the thing. It's not a bad feeling at all.
00:02:39So there's a part of me that wants to embrace my ego.
00:02:43And part of me wants to fade away.
00:02:46I have both feelings inside.
00:02:57The young chill part of me wants everything in life to be nice and quiet.
00:03:03But Una just wants to take brutal revenge on those who hurt her.
00:03:07Sort of like that.
00:03:08Right.
00:03:13Becoming lighter. Fading.
00:03:16Sounds nice.
00:03:18Your nosebleeds.
00:03:20I hope they're fading too.
00:03:22I had one earlier. It's gone.
00:03:26What about today's weather?
00:03:29Is it making you fade away?
00:03:32Yeah, I'm fading big time over here.
00:03:35The traffic's totally frozen.
00:03:37I'm not moving. At all.
00:03:47A call's coming in.
00:03:50Better not ignore this one.
00:03:52Right.
00:03:52I'll let you go.
00:03:54Make sure you drive safely.
00:03:55Okay.
00:04:02Hey.
00:04:07Are you coming?
00:04:11Yes, we've been dispatched.
00:04:12How far are you, you, you, you guys?
00:04:16The ambulance is on the way, but there's been an accident, so we're taking a detour.
00:04:20Are you doing all right?
00:04:21It's cold as hell in here.
00:04:24Can I put my key in and I'll turn on the...
00:04:26No, don't do that. If you start the engine, it can catch fire.
00:04:29Just curl up as tight as you can and hang in there. We'll be there soon.
00:04:34I'm not exaggerating. I'm just really shivering.
00:04:38I'm talking like this because my body's shaking.
00:04:42Even my knees are dancing on their own.
00:04:46You're pretty sure to be bad to turn on the car on?
00:04:51Please hurry, all right?
00:05:06Oh, shit.
00:05:09Hello?
00:05:11Is there anyone out there?
00:05:40I can't talk to you.
00:05:43Look, it's a bad time right now.
00:05:48I'll call you back later, okay?
00:05:51What?
00:05:56What the...
00:06:06I put Pyonina's pen name on the script,
00:06:09so don't go around shouting it to the rooftops.
00:06:11Just keep your traps shut.
00:06:12I'm warning you, if you run your mouth,
00:06:15I won't just sit back and take it.
00:06:18Oh, shit.
00:06:24Yeah?
00:06:25I know you, dick!
00:06:27Yong-shil!
00:06:28You piece of shit, what's wrong with you?
00:06:30Keep your mouth shut?
00:06:32You think I'm gonna keep quiet, really?
00:06:33I mean, are you stupid, Jae-yong?
00:06:37I've never in my life been able to shut my mouth for an entire day!
00:06:42What?
00:06:43What's the matter with you?
00:06:44Talk a bit more clearly.
00:06:46Dong-man, sorry!
00:06:47Please forgive me, but I had to put the script under her pen name because I'm a coward!
00:06:53That's what you should be saying, shithead!
00:06:57Oh, I'm supposed to show you respect, is that it?
00:07:01Think about what you did to me, all right?
00:07:03I put up with so much of your bullshit, Dong-man.
00:07:06There's one thing I want to thank you for, though.
00:07:09I get fired up at the thought of you.
00:07:11I think, shit, now I gotta succeed.
00:07:14So that pricks like him can't even open their mouths, I'm gonna make sure I steamroll that goddamn nobody!
00:07:20That's how I got the motivation to grip my teeth and climb the ladder.
00:07:24The thing is, I know you.
00:07:27It's pretty clear how you think.
00:07:28You want everyone to fail just like you, and the second a person starts achieving something,
00:07:32you just try to bring them down again to your level, right?
00:07:36Uh-huh.
00:07:37Listen, buddy.
00:07:38You can't bring me down now, but by all means try.
00:07:44Or better yet, why don't you try to come on up to my level, huh?
00:07:49You pull that off, then you'll get your respect, okay?
00:07:56He's the coward. He'll never come up to my level.
00:07:59Don't worry, dickhead, I'll get there!
00:08:01Just wait, you shit-heel!
00:08:03Just wait!
00:08:05Just wait!
00:08:06Just wait!
00:08:31Just wait!
00:09:12Hey, sir. Are you all right? Kim, get the equipment!
00:09:24No, it's too hot. No.
00:09:25Sir, please just lie down.
00:09:27Lie down. That's it.
00:09:28No, no, I'm too hot. I told you.
00:09:30It's too hot right now.
00:09:52You guys, I almost died today.
00:09:54It was snowing like crazy in Yang Pyeong.
00:09:56My car started skidding. I was like, holy shit, everything was in slow motion.
00:10:01I had no idea that could be so terrifying.
00:10:04I was upside down in a snowed in car fighting for my life in minus 20 degree weather.
00:10:08And that asshole Chae Yong pissed me the hell off.
00:10:12All I could think was, I've got to make it out alive.
00:10:16Everyone's asleep. Let's talk tomorrow.
00:10:20Fine, sleep. Read it when you wake up. I have to finish the story.
00:10:26I started to imagine a blazing hot summer day.
00:10:30I focused all my energy on that.
00:10:32And I swear I actually started sweating.
00:10:34It was minus 20 degrees outside and I was sweating.
00:10:37I was like, this really works.
00:10:39When you're pushed to the limit, it actually works.
00:10:41You know what the crazy part is?
00:10:45I'm still sweating.
00:10:47I must have imagined it too vividly.
00:10:50It's like the heater inside me won't turn off.
00:10:56Dongman!
00:10:58Huan Dongman!
00:11:00We're leveling up!
00:11:03Here we go again.
00:11:05But I'm not getting it, you bastard!
00:11:09It's crazy.
00:11:10There's 300 messages.
00:11:12I thought a war broke out or something.
00:11:13Osh.
00:11:16How come he didn't write it all at once?
00:11:18Why'd he break it up like this?
00:11:19Now it's impossible to delete.
00:11:24When will I finally be able to live without this moron in my ear?
00:11:30When will I be able to live without you bashing Dongman while we're eating?
00:11:34Whether it's 300 messages or 3 billion?
00:11:37It shouldn't make a difference.
00:11:38Just move on.
00:11:40How many times do I have to say it?
00:11:41The more you blabber on about this guy, the more you become like him, okay?
00:11:47You idiots deserve each other.
00:11:51You're a real crack team.
00:11:53Like Frodo and Sam, right?
00:11:56Because you're both on the same path to mediocrity and goodness knows I've worked hard to steer you away from
00:12:01that guy.
00:12:03Now I think you need each other.
00:12:05And you won't split.
00:12:09So fine.
00:12:10You keep going down that road.
00:12:12Keep trashing Huang Dongman.
00:12:15Keep proving you're just like him.
00:12:18You guys are soulmates, so have at it.
00:12:33Good morning, Mr. Chie.
00:12:45Good morning, Mr. Chie.
00:12:47I was just wondering if you had a chance to pass the script along to Mr. Noe yet.
00:12:51I know this might be inconvenient, given how much you must have going on.
00:12:56But I'm reaching out because it's urgent.
00:12:58The fact is, we really need him to sign on for this film.
00:13:01He's too perfect for it.
00:13:03Doors are opening.
00:13:09Good morning, sir.
00:13:10Morning.
00:13:10How are you?
00:13:11Hello.
00:13:13Una.
00:13:17Have you finished reading the script from Kopak film?
00:13:23Yes.
00:13:24Okay, and?
00:13:27It's good.
00:13:29What?
00:13:29That's it?
00:13:31Now you forgot how to speak?
00:13:34Should I send it along or should I trash it?
00:13:37Come on, don't dance around it.
00:13:38You think this could actually move forward or am I gonna, I don't know, get ripped apart
00:13:42by Mr. Noe?
00:13:45The shame of it is the project's funded by the government.
00:13:49So we can't get involved because our company is too large.
00:13:53The script is horrifying and the twist is shocking.
00:13:56No dragging it out, no milking the tension.
00:13:58It breaks all the commonplace tropes of horror.
00:14:01The script just charges ahead, bam, bam, bam.
00:14:03Once it comes out, people are gonna hesitate before opening every door in the house.
00:14:07They'll be afraid to sleep at night.
00:14:10Truth is, it's the second best script I've read all year.
00:14:13It's gonna hit directors like a big bolt of lightning.
00:14:18Give it to me.
00:14:20Where is it?
00:14:21Give me that script.
00:14:37Uh, Oona, hey.
00:14:39Um, got a minute?
00:14:45So why did you say yes?
00:14:48When Che told you not to work on my movie, you just dropped out.
00:14:52And obviously I'm not okay with that.
00:14:55You could have said you decided after we discussed it.
00:14:58You think that would work?
00:15:00You know, I like when people disrespect me, actually.
00:15:03I really do.
00:15:05Because then I think...
00:15:07Just wait.
00:15:09You're gonna be so embarrassed.
00:15:13Because I'm gonna succeed like crazy.
00:15:15You'll see.
00:15:20You're going to be so embarrassed.
00:15:22You're not.
00:15:26You're not.
00:15:29You're not.
00:15:34You're not.
00:15:39You're not.
00:15:48Your printer's still broken, huh?
00:15:51Stop using ours, Dongman.
00:15:52Just get yours fixed.
00:15:54You know, after I make it, I still fully intend to keep teaching here.
00:16:00I won't abandon you.
00:16:02No, please, abandon us.
00:16:03Make it big.
00:16:04What a day that will be.
00:16:15Oh, the script is out of this world.
00:16:29I should so...
00:16:37At long last, your moment has arrived.
00:16:50Awesome, right?
00:16:51You up for it tonight?
00:17:01Hey, it's me.
00:17:03Reserve a room for tonight.
00:17:05Nokang Shik's coming, just so you're aware.
00:17:07Tonight, really?
00:17:10That's amazing.
00:17:11Uh, I kept thinking it was a huge imposition to even ask.
00:17:15Thank you very much.
00:17:17All right, um, yep, see you later.
00:17:35Hey, Jun-won, can you do me a favor?
00:17:44Keep Dongman away from Ajit.
00:17:46Just for tonight.
00:17:48Ah, shit.
00:17:49That's not good.
00:17:50Is that?
00:17:51This is the group chat.
00:17:52This is the group chat.
00:17:53Group chat heading...
00:17:54Oh my gosh, what do I do?
00:17:57Shit, how do you delete?
00:18:00I can't believe it.
00:18:17Oh, yikes.
00:18:18Oh, yikes.
00:18:18After that, he went to...
00:18:19Nguang Shik's coming.
00:18:21She wants him for Jae Young's movie.
00:18:23How are you?
00:18:25She knows you and Jae Young aren't on good terms.
00:18:27That's why.
00:18:51Oh, voice phishing scams have cost Koreans a trillion won.
00:18:56Just this year, that's scary.
00:18:59You mind if I ask you a favor?
00:19:01Oh, what is it?
00:19:03You can totally say no.
00:19:05What is it?
00:19:09It's for my grandma.
00:19:11Can I put your address as a residence?
00:19:14Hmm?
00:19:16Really, you can say no.
00:19:25Goodness gracious.
00:19:29Let's go see a doctor.
00:19:30Oh, it's nothing.
00:19:31Old bodies always break down eventually.
00:19:34Well, why not fix the issue before it's too late?
00:19:37Don't want to have to carry you around on my back.
00:19:39Don't be silly.
00:19:43You carried me all the time when I was young.
00:19:47Even in elementary school.
00:19:49Why didn't you stop by then?
00:19:51I loved putting kids on my back.
00:19:54Feeling the warmth of their bodies was really comforting.
00:19:59I wish I'd been able to carry you when you were just a sweet little thing.
00:20:06Yes?
00:20:08Two gimbab, please.
00:20:09Oh, sure.
00:20:10You got it.
00:20:17Thanks.
00:20:17Have a good night.
00:20:57Good to see you.
00:20:58Hi, how are you?
00:21:01Long time no see.
00:21:03Still the sexiest man alive?
00:21:06Don't be cheeky.
00:21:09So is Che coming?
00:21:10He'll be here shortly.
00:21:12Ten minutes or less.
00:21:13Good.
00:21:13Let's head inside.
00:21:21Hey.
00:21:23What's up with all these dramas and tragedies lately?
00:21:26What happened to fun?
00:21:29Is it me or what?
00:21:30Nope.
00:21:31Even the vast majority of editors I know are fed up.
00:21:33There's no more fun.
00:21:36You'd have one or two good movies a year at least in the old days.
00:21:39And now, they're getting churned out with a machine.
00:21:43They're all the same.
00:21:45So what's with that?
00:21:49I guess everyone's impatient now.
00:21:51Hmm.
00:21:52Don't be impatient.
00:21:55Movies used to be written like people talk.
00:21:58I miss that.
00:22:00I miss that.
00:22:02Where is he?
00:22:08Hey.
00:22:11Salute.
00:22:12Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
00:22:17What do you think?
00:22:19Quality liquor, huh?
00:22:21Good, yeah.
00:22:23Let's open the bottle a bit later.
00:22:27You can read it in barely an hour.
00:22:30How about after a drink?
00:22:32Horrible.
00:22:34Horrible title, right?
00:22:35Yeah, who cares?
00:22:36It'll blow you away.
00:22:38If you pass on this, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
00:22:40I read it, and man,
00:22:43I could feel my heart knocking.
00:22:44And I messaged you right away
00:22:45because you can't lose this part.
00:22:48There's never been a character like this before.
00:22:50Don't miss out.
00:22:51Once you read it, you're going to thank me.
00:22:53No?
00:22:53No, way more than that.
00:22:55I think you'll kiss my feet.
00:22:57Oh, jeez.
00:23:01Have I led you astray with this kind of thing,
00:23:04even once?
00:23:14Did you call the director?
00:23:16Tell me he's coming.
00:23:18Come on, Jae-yong needs to get here right now.
00:23:21Okay.
00:23:31Hey, it's Hidin.
00:23:32Where are you?
00:23:39Have some meat.
00:23:40Should be done enough.
00:23:42Does Kang-shik still smack his co-stars?
00:23:44I heard if a younger actor does too well,
00:23:45he beats them up.
00:23:46Then he bullies the director to delete the take.
00:23:49How has that not become a huge scandal by now?
00:23:51The problem with that is that if he goes down,
00:23:53everyone goes with him.
00:23:55Because nobody fills a movie theater like him,
00:23:57am I right?
00:23:58Man, Jae-yong's super lucky.
00:24:00Gets to work with Kang-shik right from his debut.
00:24:10Oh, what do I do?
00:24:13Oh no, my stomach hurts.
00:24:15My guts are burning.
00:24:17I always get a stomach ache when I see someone else do well.
00:24:22Damn it, this is the worst.
00:24:24Oh, my belly.
00:24:26How can you be so shallow?
00:24:29So one-dimensional.
00:24:31Even your stomach is a jealous wimp.
00:24:33It was the same way back when we all debuted.
00:24:35Man, you blew up every bathroom in town.
00:24:38Yeah, our debut sucked anyway.
00:24:39All our movies crashed and burned.
00:24:41We bombed.
00:24:43Well, I'm jealous of that too.
00:24:44I'm jealous of getting torn for making crap.
00:24:47Because guys like me don't get opportunities to step into the ring.
00:24:50So we do anything to be criticized for our work.
00:24:55I just want...
00:24:57to be skewered once in my life.
00:24:59Jeez, it aches.
00:25:01You're the worst of the bunch, Sung Tae.
00:25:03When everyone else had debuted already,
00:25:05me and you were left out.
00:25:07We would stay up late trashing the 8 Club,
00:25:09then you debuted and ditched me for them.
00:25:13You're a backstabber.
00:25:14And you still put me down.
00:25:16Isn't that right?
00:25:18Stop it. Come on, man.
00:25:21Yeah, come on.
00:25:21Oh, I can't, I can't, I can't.
00:25:23I don't want to drink.
00:25:25Oh, shit.
00:25:26Oh, my stomach.
00:25:34Hang on. I'll give you a ride.
00:25:36No, I'll walk. Forget it.
00:25:38Yeah, but your stomach.
00:25:46What did we do wrong?
00:25:48Guys, come on. We're done with Doman.
00:25:50The guy's dead weight.
00:25:51Imagine for a minute, you're in this position, you jerk.
00:25:54If you hadn't made a film and felt humiliated about it every day of your life,
00:25:58wouldn't that be tough?
00:25:59Even the young buck he used to mentor is about to make his first film.
00:26:05Where's your sympathy?
00:26:08Everyone at this table should have survivor's guilt.
00:26:29Hi, welcome. It's good.
00:26:30Hey.
00:26:32Hey.
00:26:46What's he doing here?
00:27:07Love, love, love.
00:27:10Love, love, love.
00:27:24Knock, knock, knock.
00:27:26Hey.
00:27:29Did you finish reading it?
00:27:31What's the verdict?
00:27:32So good, right?
00:27:35How on earth did I end up with this kind of life?
00:27:39I got the first look at brilliant scripts.
00:27:47And who's the director?
00:27:49Hey, Ji-young.
00:27:51Yeah?
00:27:51Come on in, hurry.
00:27:53Say hello.
00:27:57It's an honor to meet you.
00:27:58My name is Ma Taeyong.
00:28:02Good to meet you.
00:28:05You can tell from a handshake whether a guy's got real weight or not.
00:28:18Good work.
00:28:20Have a seat.
00:28:22Yes, sir.
00:28:27Cut me some slack tonight.
00:28:30Won't be good if you two butt heads.
00:28:32I respect that you've always worked this way.
00:28:35You don't deal with anyone that isn't worth the trouble.
00:28:38So I gotta ask, why Ma Taeyong?
00:28:41You ask that like we're dating.
00:28:44My rewrite turned out really good, actually.
00:28:48My plan was to give the script to you to read tonight.
00:28:51Ma Taeyong's here, though.
00:28:54So I probably can't.
00:28:58I can't have a rivalry this serious around me.
00:29:00I'll die before my time.
00:29:01I've already aged ten years thanks to you and my husband.
00:29:05I should be remembered as a saint when I die.
00:29:08I get excluded every time, don't I?
00:29:10I mean, it was Park Gong-se that got picked ten years ago.
00:29:14Fast forward and it's Ma Taeyong.
00:29:16Dong-man.
00:29:18I'll be totally straight with you.
00:29:21You two went for a grant.
00:29:22Ma Taeyong persuaded the judges with his work,
00:29:24and in the end, they unanimously picked him over you.
00:29:28What's your problem?
00:29:29You want the list of judges?
00:29:30You want to read it yourself?
00:29:32It's so good.
00:29:34He cut himself off from people for years
00:29:36and wrote with his teeth clenched so hard
00:29:38he ended up losing five of them.
00:29:39He thought this was his last shot
00:29:40and he bet his life on it, and it shows.
00:29:43You're welcome to pick fights with whoever.
00:29:46But he poured his heart into this,
00:29:48so don't badmouth it immediately.
00:29:50Not a good look.
00:29:51Yong-sil wrote the thing,
00:29:52jeez, whoever that mysterious person is.
00:29:57To recognize a brilliant writer requires talent.
00:30:01Like how you helped Kyung-se with everything he does?
00:30:06Me and him were at the exact same level as directors.
00:30:09You, Park Kyung-se, right?
00:30:10What if you'd help me?
00:30:12I'd be a working director.
00:30:16Aren't you embarrassed about the way people trash his movies?
00:30:20Shh.
00:30:22Listen.
00:30:24Park Kyung-se deserves respect.
00:30:28He keeps making films, no matter what.
00:30:32He just absorbs the ridicule and tries again.
00:30:34He cries like a baby.
00:30:36He'll spend a whole week just weeping.
00:30:37Afterward, he gets back in the ring.
00:30:39And then he gets the crap beaten out of him again.
00:30:41But he thinks someday, I'll put up a real fight and win.
00:30:44The man gets pummeled, but he goes again, over and over.
00:30:47You think people only watch his movies?
00:30:50They notice his energy, too.
00:30:52Wow.
00:30:53That guy is really going for it.
00:30:57But you just...
00:30:59Don't go the distance.
00:31:04From now on,
00:31:06don't badmouth him in front of me.
00:31:33Well, you know, I've got no regrets tonight.
00:31:35Dream come true.
00:31:36Right, all right.
00:31:37I can die happy.
00:31:38Take me now.
00:31:40Anyway, all right.
00:31:42You're the best.
00:31:45All right.
00:31:46See you.
00:31:46Good night.
00:31:47Take this, will you?
00:31:47Thanks so much, Kang-se.
00:31:48Here.
00:31:50Hello, sir.
00:31:55Could I...
00:31:56Get a handshake?
00:31:58Go ahead, shake it.
00:32:00And tell me if I have a real substance.
00:32:04Oh.
00:32:05Oh.
00:32:05Oh, sure.
00:32:14Ease up a little.
00:32:15You always shake hands like this?
00:32:22Oh, let go.
00:32:23All right, all right.
00:32:24Oh, my wrist.
00:32:25Oh, my wrist.
00:32:25Oh, my wrist.
00:32:26Oh, my wrist.
00:32:26Oh, my wrist.
00:32:27All right, all right.
00:32:30Work on your core strength.
00:32:35Good night.
00:32:36Good night, sir.
00:32:37Good night.
00:32:42Drive safe, sir.
00:32:52Some self-restraint would do you good.
00:32:54You gotta learn to hold back your impulses.
00:32:57Stop right there.
00:33:00My impulses keep me alive.
00:33:02That made no damn sense.
00:33:04Try a stunt like that again, you'll lose your whole arm.
00:33:11There are some lines that an actor can feel with their whole body,
00:33:15but there isn't a single one in this script.
00:33:18All right. Try rewriting it one more time.
00:33:36So tell me why.
00:33:39Why won't you take the apartment and all of the money?
00:33:41I switched grandma's official address.
00:33:44Even if reporters can track her down, they won't show up at our house.
00:33:48Okay, so?
00:33:50You're going to live there forever?
00:33:53If by some chance this whole thing gets exposed and the public realizes you're my daughter.
00:34:00I want you to live somewhere decent so I'm not vilified for it, you know?
00:34:03You can't do that for me?
00:34:05You'd rather I'm criticized for it?
00:34:08You know, it's not that hard.
00:34:09New wardrobe, new nice apartment, everyone wants those things.
00:34:14And you might want to find a good man or a better one.
00:34:17I'm with a good man now.
00:34:19Huang Dongman.
00:34:23That's your opinion.
00:34:25That's right. It's all that matters.
00:34:26Or should I be with a guy you approve of?
00:34:28What exactly do you see in that man? I'm curious.
00:34:33What do you like about him?
00:34:35He makes me feel completely safe.
00:34:38He can be upset or really hurt and bounce back like it's nothing.
00:34:44And I think,
00:34:47Hey, I could bounce back like that, couldn't I?
00:34:50How come I linger on things?
00:34:53On the past in particular.
00:35:02Being with him makes me strong.
00:35:04It makes me think I could learn to brush things off one day as well.
00:35:09Who knows if that'll ever happen.
00:35:13Throwing money around and telling me exactly how to use it?
00:35:17It's absurd.
00:35:18Do you think I need clothes?
00:35:21The only reason I didn't starve as a kid was grandma.
00:35:25When my dad died, I was afraid of being abandoned.
00:35:29And she'd say,
00:35:30I'll stay.
00:35:32I'll stay, honey.
00:35:35She broke her back and worked like mad to give me everything I needed.
00:35:39If I had money, I'd buy her better quality food.
00:35:43If there was a new drug to heal her pain, I'd sell my soul to get a hold of it.
00:35:49I'll take the cash if it's for grandma.
00:35:55Okay, go on.
00:35:57Go ahead and use it for that.
00:36:09You think your past gives you the high ground?
00:36:12You think it's a badge of honor?
00:36:21When I was nine years old, rain tore the bank and the rice spilled all over.
00:36:25I spent hours crying outside because I was so petrified to tell my abusive mother.
00:36:29How's that for a story?
00:36:31My first memory?
00:36:32My drunk father slamming a butcher knife into the table around the kitchen.
00:36:35How about that?
00:36:38I'm not one to talk about my past.
00:36:41I just hate to speak about this stuff in the open.
00:36:45I don't know why you cherish your trauma like this.
00:36:47Like some precious memories you can't give up?
00:36:54Trauma?
00:36:57You wanna know what trauma really is?
00:37:05Your dad running off and going back to his first love!
00:37:11Yeah.
00:37:39You don't know what that is.
00:37:40Like some precious memories.
00:37:40Like some precious memories you can't tell them.
00:37:40You're worth it.
00:37:41Ready to go?
00:38:02So what happened with your script?
00:38:04Did Ko read it?
00:38:07I didn't give it to her, no.
00:38:10Why not?
00:38:12We can't work.
00:38:15Why?
00:38:19She doesn't want two people who clash like we do.
00:38:23You know, Ma Chaeyoung and I don't get along.
00:38:35Can I... swear a little?
00:38:42Youngshio's a bit of a prick.
00:38:47Why'd you pour your soul into that?
00:38:49So you exceptional writers just pass around your brilliance woolly-nilly?
00:38:52Do you ever think about holding back?
00:38:53Must be hard with all those ideas pouring out of you.
00:38:55Why would you waste your talent on someone like that?
00:38:58Why let that parasite feed on you?
00:39:02No wonder you always get nosebleeds.
00:39:09Oh, I'm sorry.
00:39:12I...
00:39:13Just hang on.
00:39:19I shouldn't have said that.
00:39:21I really messed up.
00:39:23That was ridiculous.
00:39:24It was stupid.
00:39:25Hold on.
00:39:26Sorry, Una.
00:39:27Just...
00:39:28I'm really sorry.
00:39:29Una, please.
00:39:37So was I supposed to hold back?
00:39:40Is that how relationships work for you?
00:39:43Your partner's supposed to feed off you.
00:39:45Then you go take more, take all of me, right?
00:39:47That's how it works.
00:39:49Even if it kills you, you give more, you give everything you have.
00:39:59Una, wait.
00:40:00It's...
00:40:30It's...
00:40:35Hello.
00:40:38Tell me a funny story.
00:40:49Oh, what a relief.
00:40:58I know you have something to share.
00:41:02Why didn't you tell me you were in a crash?
00:41:06Because I wanted to be cool.
00:41:09If that was going to be the last time I talked to you,
00:41:13I wanted to sound cool.
00:41:23You could tell it's something more.
00:41:27We could tell it's something more
00:41:29Thatimen, it would come.
00:41:35It's something moremu in the world.
00:41:38It would be a miraculous even more than not only about the world.
00:41:38Let's do something more.
00:41:40You might find something more,
00:41:43What?
00:41:49You don't have a concern
00:41:52any thoughts the second you start putting a bunch of words like sadness or
00:42:03longing or pain in a poem that means it's bad
00:42:15well since you keep refusing to teach a class of any kind they asked if they
00:42:19could grab a meal with you later hey listen they're big fans all right just help me save face here
00:42:40we've heard a lot of good things about you from the professor he said you really stood out in grad
00:42:44school you know usually people who write great poetry struggle with academic writing but he
00:42:50said your papers were exceptional too so can i ask why you stopped writing we're all waiting for your
00:42:56next poetry collection your poetry is always so clear and easy to read it's spare but really powerful
00:43:07i always think how does something so simple hit so hard i don't know if it's simple if it's honed
00:43:15in
00:43:15the right manner it just appears effortless all right i end up ruining work if i revise it's never as
00:43:21good as the first draft so how do you do your revisions on a new piece uh so uh huang
00:43:30seoul may put out a new
00:43:31book you see that it really reminded me of your poetry clean restrained and simple yeah i think his
00:43:37kind of poetry is just plain bad the fact that a book like that sells tens of thousands of copies
00:43:43is just
00:43:44i heard that you used to obsessively read the dictionary do you happen to remember which edition
00:43:50there are so many publishers nowadays what's your purpose
00:43:56so you'd read a dictionary to write better but what is your actual purpose
00:44:00well i guess i would like to write good poetry obviously nope i don't mean your goal your purpose
00:44:08your work is good now what um purpose i guess i'm not sure there is one it's more like why
00:44:14you eat
00:44:15when you're hungry you write because you want to you know no you eat because if you don't you'll starve
00:44:21and slowly die will you die if you don't write
00:44:30even a journal whenever you write some part of you's thinking who knows maybe someone might read this
00:44:39basically you want it read even small acts of writing begin with the most simple desire to be read
00:44:47you want someone to see it it it's a disgusting impulse
00:44:54there's a writer i know
00:45:02he lost his baby girl drank his life away
00:45:08and a brilliant line came into his head one day so he wrote it down feverishly
00:45:13and that became a poem which critics call his masterwork to this very day
00:45:19after that though
00:45:22he quit he just stopped writing
00:45:27because even after he lost his daughter
00:45:31that brilliant line made his heart pound and made his eyes glow like coals
00:45:36his joy was sickening
00:45:43that's beautiful
00:45:47i'm sorry what is what part of that is beautiful the guy loses his kid but his brilliant line still
00:45:54makes his
00:45:54eyes glow you think that's beautiful really
00:46:03pyong
00:46:06hold on i can give you a ride
00:46:18pyong
00:46:19sometimes on clear days i think of the words i'll come get you
00:46:24a child to its mother a dog to its owner a window growing brighter
00:46:33it's sunday and there are people passing by i hope they're on their way to pick someone up
00:46:40or to greet a friend for the last time
00:46:47because they're somewhere else
00:46:49somewhere far away from me
00:46:52so i have to believe they're on their way
00:47:04the korean film association how much did they give you again
00:47:08three billion won
00:47:11not much is it
00:47:13so return it
00:47:16what
00:47:17that cash you got
00:47:19listen miss ko
00:47:22return the money
00:47:25let's do it on our own
00:47:27we'll pull in all the major actors we'll scale everything up and then lock it in for next year
00:47:31as our tent pole and the profits will be huge
00:47:35don't do this alone if we go this route i guarantee you'll make three times as much
00:47:40hold on i'm shocked
00:47:44how would i explain this move to the kfa you can come up with a good excuse
00:47:49uh maybe the director quit early on
00:47:52well look if we burn this bridge we'll never get government funding again
00:47:56so what you want to be living on handouts forever give me a break you've got a shot to clear
00:48:01all
00:48:01your debt with one move you could even put up a building so why do you keep playing and thinking
00:48:06so damn small i mean come on you always tell me you're stressed about your payroll
00:48:10what you have too much integrity now you have a big opportunity to level up here
00:48:17i want to help out kopak film we'll split profits one two nine and guess what that fraction you get
00:48:26it'll be so much bigger than anything you'd bring in all by yourself that's obvious i want to help
00:48:35yeah it makes you smile just imagining it right honestly
00:48:40didn't take much effort you didn't write the script or get the grant ma jae-yong just picked you
00:48:46you're basically getting a free ride we'll just do this on our own we don't need mr now yeah but
00:48:55i've got the

00:51:41so she always tried to stay calm she put her hands together first
00:51:52when she was in a good mood she could pull a radish from one of our fields and throw together
00:51:56a soup
00:51:56and you know what it was amazing it was nothing special but the feeling got us through
00:52:00feelings matter they're important that's filmmaking in a nutshell the audience deserves to feel good too

00:53:10so
00:53:12So I quit that job, went back home, and broke down crying.
00:53:16Then I got a text from Park Kyung-se.
00:53:20He said he'd sent me a script.
00:53:23He asked me to take a look.
00:53:24I sent you a script. Can you give it a read?
00:53:30The script he sent was the lustful bottle opener.
00:53:54I called him and said...
00:53:57It's me.
00:54:03I love you.
00:54:07When you see something that good...
00:54:11I just...
00:54:12Had to tell him that I loved him.
00:54:16The guy who wrote stuff that could get...
00:54:19A totally heartbroken girl.
00:54:25To laugh like she never had before.
00:54:29Where did that guy go?
00:54:33That guy's dead. Sorry about that.
00:54:36I absorbed it.
00:54:37Mama, there he was.
00:54:39Perfect.
00:54:50I'm scared.
00:54:54I'm scared.
00:54:57I'm scared.
00:55:04I can't bite.
00:55:18of all the stuff you've read this year what script is number one
00:55:25you said knock knock knock got your number two spot
00:55:28so what's number one weathermaker's number one
00:55:32what maker
00:55:36weather huang dong man wrote it
00:55:43ah that guy well it's a brilliant rewrite it's come a long way since draft one
00:55:51look hana directors have lots of different strengths and the script is all well and good
00:55:57some directors are good on the page then the final product is mediocre with others it's the reverse
00:56:02lame script solid movie so what does that mean for us truth is writing is by far the least
00:56:07important part of directing what matters most is delivering the product bringing a crew of 200
00:56:12people together to pull off a full production is the mark of a director
00:56:17don't bet on someone who's not a leader
00:56:20oh boy you know you're really lucky i'm telling you this i'm teaching you a lot here
00:56:27oh
00:56:55hey
00:57:03you know the common problem among all the losers in the movie industry
00:57:08i just don't know if i'm good enough they're incapable of questioning it
00:57:14meanwhile talented people question it all the time but the incompetent ones
00:57:18never do why do you think that is they won't ever commit and put it all in the
00:57:22line only people who keep pushing themselves to the edge and finding out
00:57:26exactly what stuff they're made of those people wonder i don't know if i'm good
00:57:32enough am i wrong and guys like you spend your whole lives half-assing every opportunity you get
00:57:40forget it you're gonna stay on the same damn path till you half-ass your way to the grave

00:57:57car flipped
00:57:57over and i got trapped i couldn't put the engine on because it could explode so i just sat there
00:58:02shaking then i started imagining a hot summer day i read about visualization somewhere and it

00:59:01garbage little shit did you just call me a piece of garbage huh want to run your mouth

01:00:17go ahead
01:00:23here all done this is it yeah that's it
01:00:3120 billion what the hell then what's the bp on the project
01:00:35Huh, you're saying they threw all that cash toward that piece of trash?
01:00:40That script is just mediocre.
01:00:42Of course they try to cover it up with flashy sets and costumes, all this trick in a book.
01:00:47Wow, ridiculous.
01:00:49Now even the production design doesn't work.
01:00:53Also, most of the story leaves you cold, the lines are too stiff.
01:00:57Every word sounds like it was painfully squeezed and squeezed out of someone's head.
01:01:02Geez, hey, for real, you should pass my notes along to the director.
01:01:05Are they even getting notes? You know him, right?
01:01:08Please, you'll want to hear this.
01:01:10This is why I keep going off about it and talking smack on the internet.
01:01:13Because no one says anything!
01:01:16I'm sorry. Che approached the director for this project, so I don't have many options.
01:01:21I'm afraid we'll have to return the grant.
01:01:25There is one option. We could always move forward with the runner-up.
01:01:29Uh, if the winner turns down the competition money, we can go right to the second place candidate instead.
01:01:34That's not against our policy.
01:01:36Would you like to look at the script from the runner-up this year?
01:01:39Uh, yeah. I believe it's called Weather Maker.
01:01:42Hm.
01:01:43I mean, don't just paint pretty pictures and use a bunch of CGI visuals.
01:01:47Put a little effort into the props and sets!
01:01:49What if an actor suddenly opens a drawer in a scene?
01:01:51There should be clothes in there!
01:02:03Well, so?
01:02:06Quite a lot happening.
01:02:10Think it'll break even?
01:02:13Yeah, no.
01:02:17So maybe we should drop it then, shouldn't we?
01:02:20Okay.
01:02:21Oh, come on! How hard could it be to fill some damn drawers on the sets?!
01:02:25What kind of house is drawers that are completely empty?!
01:02:37You know what? I just can't deal with this any longer.
01:02:42So you-you throwing me out?
01:02:46I'm not leaving!
01:02:47Go ahead, drag me out!
01:02:50He's...
01:02:51Dong Lan's never had the chance to really get his heart torn out.
01:02:54That's what makes it so damn easy for him to just piss all over other people's films like that.
01:03:00And I don't think he'll ever stop till he steps right into the ring and goes twelve rounds getting his
01:03:04ass clobbered.
01:03:05So I will sink however much money I have to into teaching this little prick a lesson.
01:03:17Hey, this is gonna get ugly. Go home now.
01:03:19What? No, why?
01:03:20Just go.
01:03:21Yes, hello ma'am.
01:03:23Drop Maji Yang, alright?
01:03:27Yes, we'll move forward with the runner-up.
01:03:30Yes, weather maker, Huang Dongman.
01:03:37Yeah, I'm gonna let it burn.
01:03:40I'll let the ship go down.
01:03:42And teach that nobody something he'll never forget.
01:03:45No way.
01:03:45No, I'm serious. We're going to back Huang Dongman.
01:03:48Yes, I'll come by tomorrow.
01:03:57You are...
01:03:59So dead.
01:04:02Get ready for the ring.
01:04:05You're about to get clobbered.
01:04:11No way out.
01:04:26Mr. Kim!
01:04:27Yep.
01:04:28Get our crew together.
01:04:29Right?
01:04:31No way out.
01:04:35Mr. Kim?
01:04:35There's no gunлас to sleep.
01:04:38Of course.
01:04:41He Afu.
01:04:45Yeah.
01:04:46I've kissed.
01:04:47Mr. Kim!
01:04:49Yes.
01:04:49My courage ever left to the ring as the end.
01:04:52I've seen
01:04:53How old will that pink?
01:04:55No way out.
01:05:10Let's see your winner right here!
01:05:12Let's just break Hwang Dong-man.
01:05:14He'll either shake like a dog, throw up his hands and fail miserably, or...
01:05:18But who is Yong-sil? Sounds like a pen name.
01:05:21Yong-sil. Tell her I want to meet her.
01:05:25Did you borrow from the loan shark?
01:05:27This little bastard, he must have come into some cash.
01:05:29How's he gonna make it to the end like this?
01:05:32Good luck Dong-man!
01:05:33Hong Dong-man's causing all kinds of trouble.
01:05:36I'm so freaking embarrassed of myself, so I want to be someone less embarrassing!
01:05:40That's my goal!
01:05:54It's real.
01:06:08In this case, how's the best joining me today?
01:06:11You're not old.
01:06:11You're here to try and get me with your phone.
01:06:11I'm a little longer than that.
01:06:18I'm so proud to say.
