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.
00:03:57Okay.
00:04:07Oh, hey, are you, hey, are you, are you, are you coming, or?
00:04:11Yes, we've been dispatched.
00:04:13For 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.
00:04:24I'm going to put my key in, I'll turn on the...
00:04:26No, don't do that.
00:04:27If you start the engine, it can catch fire.
00:04:29Just curl up as tight as you can and hang in there.
00:04:31We'll be there soon.
00:04:34I'm not exaggerating.
00:04:36I'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?
00:05:05Oh, shit.
00:05:09Hello?
00:05:11Is anyone out there?
00:05:40I can't talk.
00:05:43I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm...
00:05:45It's a bad time right now.
00:05:48I'll call you back later, okay?
00:05:51What?
00:05:55What the...
00:06:07I put Pyonina's pen name on the script, so don't go around shouting it to the rooftops.
00:06:11Just keep your traps shut.
00:06:13I'm warning you, if you run your mouth, I won't just sit back and take it.
00:06:18Oh, shit.
00:06:20Oh, shit.
00:06:24Yeah?
00:06:25I know you, dick!
00:06:27Yong-shil!
00:06:28You piece of shit!
00:06:29What'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?
00:06:36Huh?
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?
00:07:00Think 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,
00:07:16I'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,
00:07:30and the second a person starts achieving something,
00:07:33you 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.
00:07:41But by all means, try.
00:07:44Or better yet, why don't you try to...
00:07:46Come on up to my level.
00:07:48Huh?
00:07:49You pull that off.
00:07:51Then you'll get your respect.
00:07:52Okay?
00:07:56He's the coward.
00:07:58He'll never come up to my level.
00:07:59Don't worry, dickhead.
00:08:00I'll get there.
00:08:01Just wait, you shit-heel.
00:08:03Just wait!
00:08:05Just wait!
00:08:06I'll get in boxEC!
00:08:07Ah!
00:08:08Ah!
00:08:10Ah!
00:08:10Ah!
00:08:11Ah!
00:08:12Ah!
00:08:13Ah!
00:08:14Ah!
00:08:14Ah!
00:08:15Ah!
00:08:16Ah!
00:08:24Ah!
00:08:25Oh, my God.
00:09:12Hey, sir. Are you all right? Kim, get the equipment!
00:09:24No, it's too hot. No. Sir, please just lie down. Lie down. That's it.
00:09:28No, no, I'm too hot. I told you. Hey, hey, hey. It's too hot right now.
00:10:02That could be so terrifying. I was upside down in a snowed in car fighting for my life in minus
00:10:0720 degree weather.
00:10:08And that asshole Chae Yong pissed me the hell off. All I could think was, I've got to make it
00:10:14out 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. I focused all my energy on that. And I swear I
00:10:33actually started sweating.
00:10:34It was minus 20 degrees outside and I was sweating. I was like, this really works. When you're pushed to
00:10:40the limit, it actually works.
00:10:41You know what the crazy part is? I'm still sweating. I must have imagined it too vividly. It's like the
00:10:51heater 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.
00:11:04Huan Dongman!
00:11:08Ah, it's crazy. There's 300 messages. I thought a war broke out or something.
00:11:16How come he didn't write it all at once? Why'd he break it up like this? Now it's impossible to
00:11:20eat.
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. Just move on.
00:11:40How many times do I have to say it? The more you blabber on about this guy, the more you
00:11:43become 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. And you won't split.
00:12:09So fine. You 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.
00:12:20How are you?
00:12:29I'm sorry.
00:12:31I'm sorry.
00:12:31You sure that part's...
00:12:32Hey, everyone.
00:12:32Good morning, Ms. Cohn.
00:12:45Good morning, Mr. Che.
00:12:47I was just wondering if you had a chance to pass the script along to Mr. No Yet.
00:12:51I know this might be inconvenient, given how much you must have going on.
00:12:55But I'm reaching out because it's urgent.
00:12:58The fact is, we really need him to sign on for this film. He's too perfect for it.
00:13:03Doors are opening.
00:13:08Hello.
00:13:09Hey, morning, sir.
00:13:10Morning. How 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? That'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 by Mr. No?
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.
00:13:52The script is horrifying, and the twist is shocking.
00:13:56No dragging it out.
00:13:57No 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? Give me that script.
00:14:36Uh, Una? 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, and obviously I'm not okay with
00:14:53that.
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.
00:15:05Cause then I think...
00:15:07Just wait.
00:15:09You're gonna be so embarrassed.
00:15:12Cause I'm gonna succeed like crazy.
00:15:15You'll see.
00:15:44I'll be so embarrassed.
00:15:46So you're so embarrassed.
00:15:48Your printer's still broken, huh?
00:15:51Stop using ours, Dongman. Just 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. Make it big. What a day that will be.
00:16:13Whoa.
00:16:16The script is out of this world.
00:16:29I should so...
00:16:37At long last, your moment has arrived.
00:16:50Awesome, right? You up for it tonight?
00:17:01Hey, it's me. Reserve a room for tonight.
00:17:05No Kang Sheik's coming, just so you're aware.
00:17:08Tonight, 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, Junwon. Can you do me a favor?
00:17:44Keep Dongman away from Ajit.
00:17:46Just for tonight.
00:17:47Ah, 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, Hajin.
00:17:54Oh my gosh.
00:17:55Oh, what do I do?
00:17:57Shit, how do you delete?
00:17:59Oh, I can't believe it.
00:18:15Oh, yikes.
00:18:19No Kang Sheik's coming.
00:18:21She wants some 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.
00:18:29Okay.
00:18:31Okay.
00:18:51Oh, voice-fishing scams have cost Koreans a trillion won just this year.
00:18:58That'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.
00:20:17Thanks.
00:20:17Have a good night.
00:20:18Thanks.
00:20:20Have a good night.
00:20:28I don't know.
00:20:56Good to see you.
00:20:58Hi, how are you?
00:21:01Long time no see.
00:21:03Still with 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. Let'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?
00:21:48I guess everyone's impatient now.
00:21:52Don't be impatient.
00:21:54Movies used to be written like people talk.
00:21:58I 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 because you can't lose this part.
00:22:47There's never been a character like this before.
00:22:49Don'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 even 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 Heejin.
00:23:32Where are you?
00:23:39Have some meat.
00:23:40Should be done enough.
00:23:42Does Kangshik 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?
00:23:59Man, Jae-yong's super lucky.
00:24:00Gets to work with Kangshik right from his debut.
00:24:10Oh, what do I do?
00:24:12Oh, 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
00:24:19when I see someone else do well.
00:24:21Damn it, this is the worst.
00:24:23Uh, oh, 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.
00:24:45I'm jealous of getting torn for making crap
00:24:47because guys like me don't get opportunities
00:24:49to 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 aid 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.
00:25:18Come on, man.
00:25:20Yeah, come on.
00:25:21I can't, I can't, I 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,
00:25:52you're in this position, you jerk.
00:25:54If you hadn't made a film
00:25:55and felt humiliated about it
00:25:57every day of your life,
00:25:58wouldn't that be tough?
00:25:59Even the young buck he used to mentor
00:26:02is about to make his first film.
00:26:05Where's your sympathy?
00:26:08Everyone at this table
00:26:09should have survivor's guilt.
00:26:29Hi, welcome.
00:26:30It's good.
00:26:30Hey.
00:26:32Hey!
00:26:46What's he doing here?
00:26:48Well, it's not fair.
00:27:06No, no, no.
00:27:24Knock-knock-knock!
00:27:26Hey.
00:27:29Did you finish reading it?
00:27:31What's the verdict? So good, right?
00:27:35How on earth did I end up with this kind of life?
00:27:39I get the first look at brilliant scripts.
00:27:47And who's the director?
00:27:50Hey, Ji-young.
00:27:51Yeah?
00:27:51Come on in, hurry. Say hello.
00:27:57It's an honor to meet you. My name is Ma Tae-young.
00:28:03Good to meet you.
00:28:05You can tell from a handshake whether a guy's got real weight or not.
00:28:18Good work. Have 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 Tae-young?
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 Tae-young'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 10 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-sei that got picked 10 years ago.
00:29:14Fast forward and it's Ma Tae-young.
00:29:16Dong-man.
00:29:18I'll be totally straight with you.
00:29:21You two went for a grant.
00:29:22Ma Tae-young 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 and he bet his life on it,
00:29:41and 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.
00:29:52Geez.
00:29:54Whoever that mysterious person is.
00:29:57To recognize a brilliant writer requires talent.
00:30:00Like 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.
00:30:30No 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.
00:30:45But he goes again.
00:30:46Over and over.
00:30:48You think people only watch his movies?
00:30:50They notice his energy too.
00:30:52Wow.
00:30:52That 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, alright.
00:31:37I can die happy.
00:31:38Take me now.
00:31:40Anyway.
00:31:41Alright.
00:31:42You're the best.
00:31:45Alright.
00:31:46See ya.
00:31:46Good night.
00:31:47Thanks so much, Kang-se.
00:31:50Hello, sir.
00:31:56Could 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.
00:32:07Sure.
00:32:13Ease up a little.
00:32:15You always shake hands like this?
00:32:22Let go.
00:32:23Alright, alright.
00:32:30Work on your core strength.
00:32:35Good night.
00:32:36Good night, sir.
00:32:42Drive safe, sir.
00:32:49Ugh.
00:32:52Some self-restraint would do you good.
00:32:54You gotta learn to hold back your impulses.
00:32:57Stop right there.
00:32:59My impulses keep me alive.
00:33:02That made no damn sense.
00:33:04Try a stunt like that again,
00:33:05you'll lose your whole arm.
00:33:11There are some lines
00:33:12that an actor can feel
00:33:14with their whole body,
00:33:15but there isn't a single one
00:33:16in this script.
00:33:18Alright.
00:33:19Try rewriting it one more time.
00:33:34Okay.
00:33:36So tell me why.
00:33:39Why won't you take the apartment
00:33:40and all of the money?
00:33:41I switched grandma's official address.
00:33:44Even if reporters can track her down,
00:33:47they won't show up at our house.
00:33:49Okay, so?
00:33:50You're going to live there forever?
00:33:53If by some chance,
00:33:54this whole thing gets exposed
00:33:56and the public realizes
00:33:57you're my daughter.
00:34:00I want you to live somewhere decent
00:34:01so 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.
00:34:10New wardrobe,
00:34:11new nice apartment,
00:34:12everyone wants those things.
00:34:14And you might want to find a good man
00:34:16or 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.
00:34:25It's all that matters.
00:34:26Or should I be with the guy you approve of?
00:34:28What exactly do you see in that man?
00:34:30I'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
00:34:40and 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?
00:34:53How come I have to go back to his room?
00:34:54How come I learn how to use?
00:34:54I think I'm going to be over my house.
00:34:56How come I play?
00:34:58How come I play?
00:35:01How can I play with him?
00:35:03And he always as much as he wants.
00:35:08How come I play?
00:35:13How many hands?
00:35:15What comes I play with him?
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, I'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?
00:36:14Sigh.
00:36:16Sigh.
00:36:16Sigh.
00:36:16Sigh.
00:36:17Sigh.
00:36:17Sigh.
00:36:17Sigh.
00:36:21When I was nine years old, rain tore the bag 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!
00:37:41Ready 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...
00:38:36Swear 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.
00:39:46Take all of me, right?
00:39:47That's how it works.
00:39:49Even if it kills you, you give more.
00:39:50You give everything you have.
00:39:59Una, wait.
00:40:00You give all the things that I could come to you now.
00:40:00I need...
00:40:00I need...
00:40:00Don't you dare to be any more.
00:40:16What if you don't have a chance to die?
00:40:18Hey, what do you do?
00:40:18I need...
00:40:22I need...
00:40:25What if you don't have a chance to die?
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.
00:41:28I wanted to be cool.
00:41:31I wanted to be cool.
00:41:52Any thoughts?
00:41:56The second,
00:41:59you start putting a bunch of words like
00:42:02sadness or longing or pain in a poem,
00:42:04that means it's bad.
00:42:16Well, since you keep refusing to teach a class of any kind,
00:42:18they asked if they could grab a meal with you later.
00:42:22Hey, listen, they're big fans, all right?
00:42:24Just help me save face here.
00:42:40We've heard a lot of good things about you from the professor.
00:42:43He said you really stood out in grad school.
00:42:45You know, usually people who write great poetry struggle with academic writing,
00:42:49but he said your papers were exceptional too.
00:42:52So can I ask why you stopped writing?
00:42:55We're all waiting for your next poetry collection.
00:43:03Your poetry is always so clear and easy to read.
00:43:05It's spare, but really powerful.
00:43:07I always think, how does something so simple hit so hard?
00:43:12I don't know if it's simple.
00:43:14If it's honed in the right manner, it just appears effortless.
00:43:17Right, honing.
00:43:18I end up ruining work if I revise.
00:43:20It's never as good as the first draft.
00:43:23So how do you do your revisions on a new piece?
00:43:27Uh, so, uh, Hwang Solmei put out a new book, you see that?
00:43:32It really reminded me of your poetry.
00:43:34Clean, restrained, and simple.
00:43:36Nah, I think his kind of poetry is just plain bad.
00:43:40The fact that a book like that sells tens of thousands of copies is just...
00:43:44I heard that you used to obsessively read the dictionary.
00:43:47Do you happen to remember which edition?
00:43:50There are so many publishers nowadays.
00:43:53What'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.
00:44:05Nope, I don't mean your goal, your purpose.
00:44:08Your work is good, now what?
00:44:11Purpose, I guess I'm not sure there is one.
00:44:14It's more like why you eat when you're hungry.
00:44:16You write because you want to, you know?
00:44:19No, you eat because if you don't, you'll starve and slowly die.
00:44:23Will you die if you don't write?
00:44:29Hmm.
00:44:31Even a journal.
00:44:33Whenever you write some part of you is thinking.
00:44:36Who knows, maybe someone might read this.
00:44:39Basically, you want it read.
00:44:42Even smogs of writing begin with the most simple desire to be read.
00:44:47You want someone to see it.
00:44:50It's a disgusting impulse.
00:44:54There's a writer I know.
00:44:56There's a writer I know.
00:45:02He lost his baby girl.
00:45:05Drank his life away.
00:45:08Then 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, he 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.
00:45:40Hmm.
00:45:43That's beautiful.
00:45:47I'm sorry, what is?
00:45:49What part of that is beautiful?
00:45:51The guy loses his kid, but his brilliant line still makes his eyes glow?
00:45:55You think that's beautiful, really?
00:46:03Pyong!
00:46:06Hold on, I can give you a rye.
00:46:08Pyong!
00:46:19Sometimes on clear days, I think of the words, I'll come get you.
00:46:24A child to its mother.
00:46:26A dog to its owner.
00:46:29A window growing brighter.
00:46:33It's Sunday.
00:46:35And there are people passing by.
00:46:37I 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.
00:46:51So I have to believe they're on their way.
00:47:04The Korean Film Association.
00:47:07How much did they give you again?
00:47:09Three 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.
00:47:26We'll pull in all the major actors.
00:47:28We'll scale everything up and then lock it in for next year.
00:47:31As our tent pole.
00:47:33And the profits will be huge.
00:47:35Don't do this alone.
00:47:36If we go this route, I guarantee you'll make three times as much.
00:47:40Hold on.
00:47:41I'm shocked.
00:47:44How would I explain this move to the KFA?
00:47:46You can come up with a good excuse.
00:47:49Maybe the director quit early on.
00:47:52Well, look.
00:47:53If we burn this bridge, we'll never get government funding again.
00:47:56So what?
00:47:57You want to be living on handouts forever?
00:47:59Give me a break.
00:48:00You've got a shot to clear all your debt with one move.
00:48:02You could even put up a building.
00:48:03So why do you keep playing and thinking so damn small?
00:48:07I mean, come on.
00:48:08You always tell me you're stressed about your payroll.
00:48:10What? You have too much integrity now?
00:48:13You have a big opportunity.
00:48:15To level up here.
00:48:17I want to help out, Copac Film.
00:48:20We'll split profits one, two, nine.
00:48:24And guess what?
00:48:25That fraction you get will be so much bigger than anything you'd bring in all by yourself.
00:48:30That's obvious.
00:48:30I want to help.
00:48:35Yeah, it makes you smile just imagining it, right?
00:48:38Honestly?
00:48:40Didn't take much effort.
00:48:42You didn't write the script or get the grant.
00:48:44Ma Jae-yong just picked you.
00:48:46You're basically getting a free ride.
00:48:49We'll just...
00:48:51do this on our own.
00:48:53We don't need Mr. Nho.
00:48:54Yeah, but I've got the director.
00:48:59Of course I'd choose Copac.
00:49:01Glad to be working with you.
00:49:03I already approached him on this.
00:49:06Wondering if he'd work with us.
00:49:09He said he'd be grateful.
00:49:10He'd love to.
00:49:12See, the game's already in motion, Hye Jin.
00:49:15You should get on board while you can.
00:49:17I'll make you rich, okay?
00:49:19Let's go make some cash.
00:49:21Go through!
00:49:28Alright.
00:49:33I think I told you I was a reporter before this, didn't I?
00:49:37I know.
00:49:38I was a broadcast journalist because I wasn't confident I could make a living in film.
00:49:43As a young reporter, I was always chasing stories, whether that was on the police beat or wherever else.
00:49:49One day, I couldn't find a compelling story.
00:49:53I rang up my station to say I had nothing, but the editor just went,
00:49:57What do you see? Tell me where you are.
00:50:00A hospital.
00:50:02Go inside.
00:50:03So I did.
00:50:04Okay, now go to the funeral hall.
00:50:07Look at who died.
00:50:09Well, it looks pretty ordinary.
00:50:11Do you see any unusual deaths?
00:50:14Then I saw that there was a child.
00:50:16Get in there and talk to the parents.
00:50:19Find out why.
00:50:20And how their child died.
00:50:22Report back.
00:50:27I started screaming and swearing at him.
00:50:31What the hell's your problem, you fucking asshole?
00:50:34I'm not doing this anymore, you shithead.
00:50:37I want something more fun.
00:50:39An explosion of freaking fun.
00:50:42I want to make something so damn fun that even the parents of this poor dead kid would be busting
00:50:47their guts laughing, you dickhead!
00:50:53And so, then I quit.
00:50:58Oh.
00:50:59I got into this to make something fun.
00:51:03Turns out you're exactly the kind of slimy bastard my editor was.
00:51:11Yeah, I'm gonna have some fun.
00:51:13I don't want you or your dirty slimy bullshit, Mr. Che.
00:51:18You take whatever you want.
00:51:20Choke on it.
00:51:25Ko, come on.
00:51:27Your feelings don't belong in business, okay?
00:51:37Whenever my grandma was angry, she'd say her cooking tasted bad.
00:51:41So she always tried to stay calm.
00:51:43She 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, and you know what? It was amazing!
00:51:57It was nothing special, but the feeling got us through. Feelings matter. They're important.
00:52:03That's filmmaking in a nutshell. The audience deserves to feel good, too!
00:52:13Thanks for everything you did for me.
00:52:17You won't level up with that attitude. Quite a temper. No wonder you're not making any money.
00:52:23Who makes movies to turn a profit in Korea anyway? The whole point is to have fun!
00:52:27What is it?
00:52:55It's important.
00:53:11So I quit that job, went back home and broke down crying.
00:53:16Then I got a text from Park Kyung-sae.
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?
00:53:30And the script he sent was the lustful bottle opener.
00:53:54I called him and said,
00:53:56It's me.
00:54:03I love you.
00:54:07When you see something that good, I just had to tell him that I loved him.
00:54:16The guy who wrote stuff that could get a 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.
00:54:35That guy go that way.
00:54:37Oh my god.
00:54:38Ah.
00:54:40Ah.
00:54:43I don't know.
00:55:18of all the stuff you've read this year what script is number one
00:55:24you said knock knock knock got your number two spot
00:55:28so what's number one weathermaker's number one
00:55:32what maker
00:55:35weather
00:55:36Hwang Dongman wrote it
00:55:43ah that guy
00:55:45well 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 lame script
00:56:02solid movie so what does that mean for us
00:56:05truth is writing is by far the least important part of directing
00:56:08what matters most is delivering the product
00:56:11bringing a crew of 200 people 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
00:56:20ah boy
00:56:22you know you're really lucky I'm telling you this
00:56:25I'm teaching you a lot here
00:56:27I'm teaching you a lot here
00:56:54so stop whining
00:57:02you know the common problem among all the losers in the movie industry
00:57:07I just
00:57:09don't know if I'm good enough
00:57:12they're incapable of questioning it
00:57:14meanwhile talented people question it all the time
00:57:17but the incompetent ones never do
00:57:19why do you think that is
00:57:20they won't ever commit and put it all in the line
00:57:22only people who keep pushing themselves to the edge and finding out exactly what stuff they're made of
00:57:28those people wonder
00:57:31I don't know if I'm good enough
00:57:33am I wrong
00:57:33and guys like you spend your whole lives half-assing every opportunity you get
00:57:40forget it
00:57:41you're gonna stay on the same damn path till you half-ass your way to the grave
00:57:46a few days ago
00:57:48I was in a tricky spot
00:57:49wow this is boring already
00:57:51you still talking?
00:57:52I listened to you so just hear me out for a second
00:57:55I was on a snowy road when my car flipped over and I got trapped
00:57:58I couldn't put the engine on cause it could explode
00:58:00so I just sat there shaking
00:58:02then I started imagining a hot summer day
00:58:04I read about visualization somewhere and it actually worked
00:58:08I started sweating in minus 20 degree weather
00:58:12look perspiration
00:58:13still sweating and proud of it
00:58:14go to a damn hospital
00:58:16oh I also practice speeches for award ceremonies
00:58:19I don't even try to
00:58:21the words just come out
00:58:22even when I'm brushing my teeth or getting on the bus
00:58:25think about it
00:58:26if just imagining a hot day for a minute can make me sweat
00:58:29you think millions of acceptance speeches
00:58:31are just gonna blow away in the wind like fairy dust
00:58:35I think you're sick in the head
00:58:37while you're at the hospital
00:58:38get yourself a mental evaluation
00:58:40delete that post unless you want to get sued
00:58:42it's not going anywhere
00:58:43delete it you idiot
00:58:47you're out here rehearsing speeches and getting ready to be famous
00:58:50and you go online with that shit
00:58:52you want your old post dug up and get cancelled?
00:58:55just delete it
00:58:55everyone keeps their mouths shut
00:58:58no one's saying anything because they're so afraid of this piece of garbage
00:59:04little shit

01:00:26that's it
01:00:3120 billion?
01:00:32what the hell?
01:00:33then what's the BP on the project?
01:00:36huh
01:00:36you'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
01:00:45all this trick in a book
01:00:46wow
01:00:48ridiculous
01:00:49now even the production design doesn't work
01:00:53also
01:00:54most of the story leaves you cold
01:00:56the lines are too stiff
01:00:57every word sounds like it was painfully squeezed and squeezed out of someone's head
01:01:02geez
01:01:03hey for real you should pass my notes along to the director
01:01:05are they even getting notes?
01:01:07you 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
01:01:15I'm sorry
01:01:16Che approached the director for this project
01:01:19so I don't have many options
01:01:21I'm afraid we'll have to return the grant
01:01:25there is one option
01:01:26we could always move forward with the runner-up
01:01:29uh
01:01:29if the winner turns down the competition money
01:01:31we 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
01:01:40yeah I believe it's called Weather Maker
01:01:42hmm
01:01:43I mean don't just pay 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
01:02:16so 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?
01:02:24what kind of house is drawers that are completely empty?
01:02:37you know what?
01:02:40I just can't deal with this any longer
01:02:42so you throwing me out?
01:02:46I'm not leaving
01:02:47go ahead
01:02:48drag me out
01:02:49he'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
01:03:03and goes 12 rounds getting his ass clobbered
01:03:05so I
01:03:07will sink however much money I have to

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?
01:05:26This 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!
01:05:33Hwang 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!
