A Moment to Remember
Hey...
Can I bum a light?
No, not that, got a light?
When a memory's gone...
So is the soul, they say.
Ah, memory!
When a memory's gone
so is the soul.
Some story, eh?
Hey, man, let me tell you
a story about memory.
When you were walking
towards me.
I saw you smoking.
That's a memory.
You know
what I'm waiting for here?
Not a cigarette light.
I'm waiting for the light.
Sharing a cigarette light
means sharing the light.
So...
Hey Miss...
Got a light?
When will I ever smoke this?
The train is now approaching.
Please wait behind the yellow line.
You gave me a dollar.
Damn, not again.
Here you go.
Hurry.
Come on!
You must've been in a hurry.
So you're through with him?
What did I tell you?
I knew it!
Did you eat dinner?
Are you hungry?
Dad's gonna kill you!
Is that her?
She doesn't look
stupid or anything.
Look at those eyes.
Totally foxy.
- Do you like your desk?
- Yes
Welcome to our team.
How about a fresh start on the new floor?
Being such a feminine
and sensitive woman as you are...
Can you do men's wear?
You should help me.
I'll learn.
I bet you will.
You look just perfect
for the job.
I'm Anna JUNG
Nice to meet you,
I'm KIM Su-jin.
I've heard a lot about you.
From Yeon-suk,
your ex-boyfriend's wife.
She and I went to college together.
Oh, she's not his wife anymore.
Here?
Shorter.
Here?
You sure?
I don't get it.
Getting a cut doesn't help
forget the past.
Wait!
Right here.
Don't get caught up in it.
Time heals everything.
Feels so good
going out with my little girl.
Don't you hate me?
I've given
the family a bad name.
You had to go to police station
many times because of me...
I did?
To forget easily is a gift.
Let go of your old mistakes.
Make a fresh start.
It won't take long.
Want to come along?
Go ahead.
So dusty!
With the sleepy spring breeze
all around you...
Here's a song to wake you up.
Ill be back tomorrow.
And this is the last song for today.
La Paloma.
What's wrong with you?
If we don't finish this right now,
what are you gonna do with it?
Am I talking to a wall?
We're talking in circles.
Stop wasting my time!
- You son of a...
- What's the matter?
Sir!
The cement trucks are all here.
But this jerk here won't let
them do their job.
Do you know what it'll cost us
if we send them back?
Fine, go ahead, pour all of the shit!
It won't be my mess.
Don't come crying to me later.
Damn it!
What the...
Who does he think he is?
Wait...
You're the foreman, right?
What's your name?
That's the 30th time you've asked!
It's CHOI Chul-soo.
I'm sorry, Choi.
What's the problem?
Problem?
The mold isn't strong enough
to hold the concrete.
- Damn!
- It rained like hell last week.
And we're not even done
with the scaffolding.
What if it collapses
after people move in?
Collapse? Don't jinx it, boy!
Okay, Choi.
Let me take a look.
No way we can finish this
by tomorrow morning.
Do it the day after tomorrow
for your own sake.
You don't know
what you're talking about.
You're a frigging carpenter!
Look, I'm telling you this
from my experience.
Do it today
and it will collapse.
Do you want to be
on the prime-time news?
Some temper he has!
Who?
Let's go eat.
I thought the renovations
would be done by now.
I'm screwed!
They'll fire me.
I had my buddy do the project,
but he took the money and ran.
Damn, I already paid him.
Jesus.
Let me see what I can do.
There might be a way.
Really?
How?
I know some people.
Dad, are you sure?
Of course! I'm your favorite
pushover, am I not?
No, you're not a pushover!
You're my Christmas!
What?
I mean Santa Claus!
Enough.
I'll send someone over.
Let the guys deal with him.
Okay?
He's... rough, very violent.
Don't mess with him.
So glad you made it!
Let's have some coffee
in my office.
Where's the site?
This way.
Where's the floor plan?
We don't have any.
The guy ran off.
Why's the wallpaper torn?
Hey! Pardon... What the! Wait!
Leave it please!
We're out of time here.
This is what you call a slapdash job.
The whole wall has to go.
Walking home?
Yes... No!
I'm taking the bus... No, taxi...
I'm taking a taxi.
Are you okay?
Yes.
You sell these
on the subway or something?
These are all here?
I lose pens all the time.
Won't it cost money
to fix the door?
Get in through here.
Wait! Wait!
Hold on to this.
Okay.
Comfortable?
What's the baseball bat for?
Do you beat up
people with it?
Why would you
beat up people?
I'm sorry.
For what?
For snatching your coke.
I'm, you know...
I'm very... uh, very...
Forgetful!
How'd you remember
me anyway?
Is this the exit?
Hey, you're seeing
somebody today, right?
Don't you dare
pick up a hunk alone.
Hunk?
All you girls talk about...
Looking for someone?
Well, where is...
That tall mustachio?
He's working on the site
so couldn't come.
People down here are
in charge now, I heard.
Thank you so much
Su-jin.
Your father plays golf, right?
I'll give a call later.
- What are you doing?
- Jesus! Oh God!
What hunks?
I don't even see ghosts.
I have to go pee!
- She has to go pee!
- Be quiet!
Trust me on this, okay?
Let's go.
Mr. Park is a jerk.
He never pays on time.
You should push the prick
to save our asses.
He'll pay on time this month.
I don't care about the style.
What kind of business
are they in?
Oh, is that where we're going?
Do you have any savings at all?
Stop spending start saving.
And it's about time you
Ghi-bong got married...
You know these guys?
How's the business?
What?
Selling pens.
We were just walking by.
We have an appointment...
And I saw you.
Sit here, ladies.
We need more glasses
and chopsticks here!
Get the chairs!
Haven't you seen enough
of his face tonight?
Kim Su-jin!
Get me a plane!
I'm getting goose bumps!
Why don't you move in
with him?
He has a lot of money
put aside.
If you drink that
we're going steady.
If I don't?
We will be strangers.
Until we die.
Me? I've never
done this before.
Spread them.
Keep low.
Swing like this.
Oh my...
Pick up the bat!
God!
It's too heavy.
The ball's coming!
Keep your eye on the ball.
It's already gone!
What do you have on?
Beats me.
This smell gives me
a strange feeling.
Reminds me of the old days.
Was it my dad?
My uncle?
The smell makes me feel...
as if I were falling
into a world of dreams...
- Hey
- ...Something like that...
I got it from a barber.
What's this?
What?
This?
Nothing!
You study?
Taking a test or something?
Hey!
Open it
and you're out of here.
Who's this?
Your grandfather?
A master templum lignarius...
What's that?
A man who builds temples.
He was my teacher.
Got an album?
Any childhood pictures?
Have you got
an insatiable curiosity?
I want to see your pictures
when you were little.
I haven't got any.
I've always been
a grown-up.
You know this gift?
Place your bets.
Even a dog
at a glance can win.
Mommy wins bread money.
Daddy wins cigarette money.
Double up your money.
Don't let your luck slip by...
The luck is right in your hands.
Pick an Ace!
Here we go again.
Place your bets.
Even a dog
at a glance can win.
Mommy wins bread money.
Daddy wins cigarette money.
Double up your money.
Don't let your luck slip by...
The luck is right in your hands.
You been lost again?
Anything good happened to you?
You got the stride interval right.
It's softer than the imported fabric.
But I don't know
what Anna Jung will say.
Always finding flaws.
She's just so nasty.
Don't worry.
A busy bird has
no time to be upset.
Who said that?
That was...
Young-min's phrase.
How is he doing?
I haven't seen him for a while.
It's alright.
It can happen to anybody.
All we did was love.
...say some irresponsible people.
Nothing can stop me from love?
Love my ass.
Hey, what happens to the frog
that got hit by the careless stone?
What frog?
You said there was a kid?
Hey, not only killing people
or stealing things is a sin?
It's as much a sin to that kid.
Who'll take care of
the hurt he got?
I'm the frog too!
Whatever, damn.
Let's go eat.
You're right.
I knew that too.
It's all my fault.
So I'm heart-broken too.
I'm so sorry for everyone.
- But...
- Forget it.
Okay?
Croak, croak.
Croak.
Why don't you buy one?
Well pay.
This is fun.
And good for strengthening
our friendship.
Of all the cool guys
why a carpenter?
Grateful?
Don't wait.
A true artist fears
a blank canvas.
Good luck, guys.
What are you doing here?
I told you not to wait.
Seeing anyone lately?
No!
It's Yoon- ah, isn't it?
No, no.
She told me nothing.
A construction worker
or something?
Come on, why would
I go out with such a...
What does he do?
He's an architect.
Really?
Let's meet him.
No way.
No way?
No, I'm just saying...
No way?
It's just... Dad!
Invite him over to our house
I'll take care of everything
for you.
Okay?
Hell no.
Why not?
No!
Why?
Why not?
Look.
I'm seeing you. What has that
got to do with your parents?
You have to meet them...
if we're going to get married.
Why no?
Don't you love me?
You love me, right?
It may fade away.
Is it that hard to say
I love you?
I'm getting tired of this!
Wake up, will you?
You're a princess,
and I'm a beggar!
Can you live without me?
If we live together...
can we die together too?
You come and go alone.
That's life.
You crybaby...
Have you lost your parents?
Or your country?
Look.
Why do you like me
so much?
Remember that store?
No, I don't.
Go away.
I'm so scared!
How could you make
a woman so miserable?
What's wrong with wanting
to marry a man
she loves and build a home?
This is delicious.
Why don't you use this?
Knock yourself out.
I can't make the commitment.
No, actually I don't want to commit.
Why not?
You scare me.
Why?
You're too confident.
Do you have any idea
how cruel life can be?
Say we get married...
Can we be truly happy?
Dad!
Why surprised?
You invited us.
You...
You know each other?
Honey, say something.
Where are you going?
To the ladies room.
I'm sorry.
Follow me to the
washroom downstairs.
Your parents?
She hasn't told you?
Do you have a home?
If you don't mind
I'll get going.
You're fired.
Finish eating at least please.
No, I mean... Wait until
Su-jin comes back.
Sit!
Excuse me.
I'm very sorry about this
I will never...
Su-jin!
Su-jin, wake up!
Su-jin!
Su-jin!
She might have passed out
from intense stress.
A little anemic too.
She'll be fine
after a good night's sleep.
Architect License
Hot!
What's wrong with me?
Done bathing?
Yeah.
You sure?
Of course.
Positive?
Did you wash your chest?
I don't know.
Your armpits?
I think so.
Your feet?
No more questions!
Stop looking!
This isn't good at all.
You'll have to redo it.
What's wrong with it?
You know
we slaved over this!
Look at it from here.
Do it again.
It's not even aligned.
Again?
Come on!
This is good enough.
Nobody will notice!
Take a look.
The reflection breaks, see?
It's the angle, man.
And the spacing.
It's way off.
Do it again, okay?
Okay.
- Whose side are you!
- No, you're not redoing it!
There you go again.
Look who's talking
you little jerk!
It is fine as it is!
Who do you think you are?
A damn artist?
Hey, Choi!
Say hello to Mr. Hwang.
You've met him before.
You're looking good.
Congratulations on everything.
I've been asking your father-in-law
to arrange the meeting.
What would look good here?
Sorry?
What should I build here?
Rather than building something...
You may want to
leave it as it is.
Leave it as it is...
But if I insist.
If you want a house.
You should leave those trees.
Natural-grown ones are
different from the planted ones.
A house that...
is in balance.
Uh...
inside and out.
You see the pine tree over there?
Great, isn't it?
There is a reason for that.
Either it was under a rock
when young.
Or shaded by a big tree nearby.
In short, it's been misplaced.
Like a pine tree on a cliff.
Hey, it's still dry.
Don't touch it.
Let's talk about the theme.
Theme?
Where did your design come from?
Where it came from?
Well... I mean.
What was your inspiration?
My wife was the inspiration.
I had a chance to see her
happy with her family.
And that was very special to me.
So...
Walking along this hill.
Looking around the empty lot.
I made up a story of them inside.
And came up with its interior first.
This is Su-jin's
grandfather's hammer.
Chul-soo.
You know Jesus, right?
Did you know
he was a carpenter?
Carpentry is a holy vocation.
Chul-soo.
You know how a real carpenter is
different from a sham one?
Go see at a shop.
There are so many sham ones.
They all complain about the wood.
The real carpenter.
Sees the texture.
What's the texture?
It's a possibility.
The texture gets you anything.
A real carpenter
can see that.
It's the same with people.
You were all wrong.
You still are.
But I saw your texture.
You know what I mean?
You like it?
Rather than focusing
on the beautiful walls.
I considered...
How people move under the roof.
Keep going.
What I mean is...
Geographic particulars demand
that the drainage expansion
be considered.
Ah...
This is...
The partial attachment between
the column and column door.
We're planning to handcraft
all the other decorations like this.
If I and my head carpenter
and you, the expert carpenters
are to focus on this project.
I'm sure we will make it
to the date you want.
Of course...
You need to consider the budget.
Handcrafting will cost
you a bit more.
You signed the contract?
We're waiting, Su-jin.
Later!
Like this? Like Michael Jordan?
No, no.
That's too common.
I think...
Well... wait.
In a restaurant when a server
with a tray trips and falls.
He twists automatically
and spontaneously.
Like you can find support
in any situation.
Like that...
Do you know what I'm saying?
Not done yet?
I'm going to be late
for work.
Construction workers
love rainy days.
What are you laughing at?
It's only a cup of tea.
Kim Su-jin!
Your mouth is hanging
off your ears, girl.
Are you that happy being married?
Doesn't the rain
make you melancholic?
Put your bag down.
Nobody's taking it.
No, give it here.
Let me ask you something.
Have you ever gotten lost
on the familiar streets?
We're not like you.
Hey you get lost all the time, too.
Even so, I never forget
the way to work.
How could you?
Unless you're going senile.
Lately I've been having trouble...
finding my way home.
It's so strange.
He must tire you out
every night!
It seems different.
What does?
The kitchen.
What about it?
It's changed.
Has it?
Hasn't it?
No more burning pots.
You like it?
No.
I love you!
Go ahead.
My head!
What are you doing?
Sit down.
Have you ever
blacked out recently?
Due to unbearable stress...
Or an emotional breakdown?
Once due to anemia.
About stress...
Is it necessary to record this?
Don't mind it.
It might help later.
Just answer my questions.
I once loved a married man.
But he didn't show up
at the train station.
I was heartbroken,
I felt like I was dying.
A few days earlier.
I was attacked by his wife.
She pulled out
a bunch of my hair.
In the cases physically dealing
with emotional stress...
everybody reacts differently.
Your current symptoms might have
come from severe stress.
Come back next week.
We will run an MRI and CT scan on you.
Hey, take these.
Nice office!
You made it, Foreman.
Not a foreman anymore!
I'm the foreman now.
Where's my desk?
In the back?
It's not fun.
Let's get out of here.
He's not done yet.
You see this? Everybody changes.
You can't trust anybody.
Let's go, he's changed.
I don't need this crap.
Come on!
Chul-soo, make me
a business card, will you?
- You don't need a business card!
- I'll pick 'em up tomorrow!
Let's go!
Get back here!
- Give me your business card.
- I'll get you one.
Wow, she's so pretty.
These young girls are
experts with makeup.
But no good at cooking.
Just like me.
You became more sophisticated.
You used to take it away.
Now youre asking for a loan!
Perfect timing, too.
Showed up just when
I got out of the bottom.
Do I owe you anything?
You don't know how
I pray for your success.
Don't be stingy about
a few dollars.
That's so cheap.
Did you say cheap?
You look so much better.
Oh, my boy.
Your wife takes good
care of you, right?
So, what is it?
Will you do it for me?
You have your men.
Ask your gigolos.
What? Gigolos?
Hey, watch what you
say to your mom.
You're worse than before now.
You think I got that money
all for myself?
Didn't you?
You know you shouldn't
borrow money from gangs.
You'll go to jail.
Jail?
How can you say that?
Okay, okay.
I'm leaving.
I'll list you as my
insurance beneficiary.
So take that with your
pretty wife, you asshole.
We just met in three years
and that's all you say?
Cant you loan me half of it?
I'll take care of the rest.
you know.
Okay, fine.
I'll never come
to see you again.
Asshole.
If you hear about
a corpse in a river.
You know it's me.
You jerk.
I don't expect you to
bury my body either.
Bastard...
You're such a mean son.
Which way is south?
That way.
So the front door will be here.
All the electronics go here.
And here's the bathroom.
- A big one. This big!
- What about our room?
Our room?
Where do you want it?
There?
There it is!
A great choice!
We'll wake up
with sunshine on our faces...
eat breakfast over here
and watch TV there.
Wait just a little.
I've been eyeing this lot for 3 years now.
Nothing but horrible memories...
He beat me for no reason
and treated me like a slave.
Giving me nothing
but food and a place to sleep.
Just one mean old fart!
When I was 9, he put a hammer
in my hand for the first time.
It was so heavy...
If it weren't for him,
I would never have become a carpenter.
I hated him.
Still building this temple?
It's been over 10 years.
What do you want?
My wife wants to see you.
What's the point of coming
after the wedding?
Do you wipe your ass
before you shit?
Bastards.
You carved it too deep!
What have you done?
The angle is way off!
Let me go get
some mountain water.
Here.
You have pretty hands.
Have you met his mother?
What?
Your mother-in-law!
No.
He hasn't let you?
No.
That little bastard is still
mad at her?
It's about time he forgave her.
It was so long ago.
Demurrer to Seizure
I don't have a mother.
She's still your mother.
I don't have one.
She's your mother.
Do you know how hard
I've worked for that money?
Why should I give it
to someone I hardly know?
No way in hell!
Let's stop it.
She's your family.
Family?
I have my family right here
and this is my home.
And you're my family!
Okay?
I'm building our new house
with that money.
If we move into
that new house...
You think we'll be happy?
Damn!
Drop it.
Why is it so hard
to forgive her?
- Forgiveness is...
- Stop it!
What are parents?
The ones that give you life?
And then their job is over?
What do you know about her?
Who do you think you are
trying to help her?
Cut it out.
Stop crying.
You know why I never cry?
I ran out of tears that night.
When she left me, dumped me
over to this old man,
I cried all night long!
I will never cry again
for that woman...
nor give her a penny.
Forgiving...
isn't that hard.
It's just...
giving away just one plain room
in your heart.
My grandpa said so.
A true carpenter...
is the one that can build
a house in his heart.
But in the house you've built.
So well in your heart...
You gave all the rooms away
to your mother and to your hate.
And where are you? You're
shivering outside the house.
I understand.
I know it's hard to forgive.
But...
My dad remembered
that piece of wisdom...
and forgave me when I almost
ran off with a married man...
and he permitted our marriage
so easily.
You know why?
Forgiving... is giving your hate
just a little room in your heart.
Forget it.
Who asked for your help?
Came to see if I'm dead?
You're no different
from your dad.
You bastard!
You're one merciless
malicious son of a bitch!
I wasn't myself when I had you
when I was seventeen.
I should've had an abortion.
Erase you out of my misery!
What was I thinking!
Let's see how good you do
without a mother!
Get the hell out of here.
I don't need you.
Go!
Get out of here, go!
Damn, new shit...
How much in total?
Overdue interest...
On top of that...
It's over 90 grand.
It's a lot of money.
Don't you think?
We're broke now.
Fine.
I'll pay.
Didn't I tell you I would?
Check please!
Place your bets.
Even a dog at a glance
can win.
Chul-soo wins cigarette money
Su-jin wins bread money.
Don't let your luck slip by...
The luck is right in your hands.
Pick an Ace!
An Ace!
What's the date today?
Do you know?
I always lose track
of the date.
I told you to come back
in a week, not two.
Any siblings?
One sister.
Okay.
How old is she?
Twenty.
No... Nineteen maybe?
I'm bad with numbers.
Give me her birthday.
What color is the light
of the walk signal?
What kind of questions
are these?
Just answer the question.
What was the question?
What do you call
your mother's sister?
What's 18 plus 19?
If I fly a balloon
when the wind moving westward...
which way will it go?
I don't know if this is
good news or bad news.
I just found out myself.
Pardon me?
I'm telling you the truth.
For real?
I don't believe you.
Close the door, will you?
Sit.
I'll stand.
I'm back for good.
They closed the branch in Paris.
I've heard.
We'll be working together.
The table has turned though.
Now I'm single
and you're married.
Is fate playing with us?
Look... I couldn't make it that day
because I was...
I don't remember anything.
See you at the clothing lab.
Now we're in the same boat.
It's only a beginning.
Let's make this work.
A busy worker ant doesn't
have time to be sad, right?
That's the spirit!
- Good job, guys.
- Congratulations.
Don't lose it.
Is this important?
Where were you?
You glued it?
No.
What did the doctor say?
Told me to come back
next week.
Again?
How long will it take
to fill this out?
Say something, doctor.
Analyzing the MRI
and PET scan...
and all the test results...
Abnormal proteins
have clogged up
the veins in your brain...
affecting the brain cells.
I don't understand
a word you're saying.
Speak clearly please...
I'm certain the cause
is largely genetic.
A very rare case.
You have...
Alzheimer's disease.
What?
Alz... what?
Alzheimer.
Alzheimer?
What's that?
The questions I asked were
to diagnose dementia.
But I'm only 27.
How could I be going senile?
It's possible.
So...
What's going to
happen to me?
A mental death will come
before a physical one.
Better prepare yourself
for what's inevitable.
Medicine can slow it down.
But that's about it.
What about surgery?
Do you work?
Yes.
You should quit right away.
Soon you won't be able to
type or answer the phone...
let alone organize things.
Pretty much nothing.
You will forget your family,
friends and even yourself.
All your memories will
disappear completely.
Should I quit my job?
Why?
Why don't I stay home
and do the chores?
Sure, I'd like that.
Why so suddenly?
I don't know.
Tired of working?
It's dog-eat-dog out there.
I'll bring home the bread and milk.
Quit right away.
Maybe I'll quit tomorrow?
Hold on.
What's going on?
Do you want a baby?
A baby?
I don't know.
Never thought about it.
Do it for me.
What?
That.
What?
That...
You mean... in-and-out?
No, that thing you do
with cards.
Grift?
You never win.
Just once.
No, I'm tired.
Please just once.
You're not saying it?
Place your bets.
Even a dog at a glance can win.
Su-jin wins bread money.
Chul-soo wins cigarette money.
Double up your money.
Don't let your luck slip by...
The luck is right
in your hands.
Pick an Ace!
An Ace!
You win.
Won't you be bored?
No.
Hello?
Young-min here.
How could you quit
without notice?
If it's me
let's meet and talk.
No.
I'm not hitting on you!
- I just...
- You want to quit, then follow the rule!
- I just want to stay home.
- What's wrong with you!
If you don't feel comfortable with me
we can meet with other colleagues.
I'll come to the office.
- Here you go.
- Give me one of those
You packed a lunch?
How nice!
The color is so tacky!
Let's see what you have.
Rice!
Looks so good!
What about side dishes?
Is that for me?
You shouldn't have!
Maybe...
you've confused her with someone
else with the same name?
Or the wrong documents...
Hands off!
You won't understand it anyway!
It's your wife.
Are you crazy?
You okay, ma'am?
Why the hell did you
tell her everything?
Why the hell did you
tell her everything?
I am a doctor.
She needs time to prepare
for what's coming.
- You sure about this?
- Of course!
Positive?
If you don't believe me,
take her to another doctor.
Doctor!
Are you sure!
You crazy?
What's wrong with you?
- Are you sure?
- This is a hospital!
Are you sure?
Calm down, sir!
His wife died from it, too.
He's spent half of his life
researching Alzheimer's.
Accept what's real.
You can't change it
Are you alright?
Do you need to see a doctor?
Just a little bit more...
Where are you going?
- I have no idea.
- Excuse me?
I don't believe it.
They're cloning
human beings nowadays.
There must be a cure for this.
I understand.
But your wife is a rare case.
Her symptoms are
very close to my wife's.
It's an old story...
Before my wife died...
I took her to the place
we first met.
Incredibly, she remembered
almost everything then.
I was just so happy
that I couldn't hold back my tears.
I thought things were
coming back to her.
I was so happy.
And about 3 hours later.
She looked at me and said...
Who are you?
Why are you crying?
That's what she said.
Hah, that's a mystery of
human brains, isn't it?
I'm telling you this
from my own experience.
You can't find it in books.
- Hello?
- Who's this?
I found this cell phone
on the street.
What happened?
What happened to her?
That's...
How can I explain this?
Young-min.
Can we go back to...
two years ago?
Two years ago?
What for?
That's even before we met.
What?
What are you thinking about?
Su-jin!
Fool.
Keep your eye on the ball.
It's strange.
I only got 9 balls.
it's actually 10, right?
Isn't it?
Did you find out?
What?
That I have an eraser in my head.
- Let's part ways.
- What?
You were right.
One can't be happy forever.
- What are you talking about?
- It's all over.
Think about it.
What's love good for
if my memory is gone?
Don't be so nice to me.
I'll forget everything.
I'll remember everything
for you.
You know I'm smart.
I passed the architect test
on the first try.
You're too confident.
Life can be very cruel.
You didn't forget that.
How could I?
You're mean.
Don't worry.
There'll be a cure...
You crybaby! Have you lost
your parents or your country?
I'll just leave.
Please let me go, okay?
Want to have a go?
Want to bet on it?
Damn!
Why are you crying?
I said I'd remember
everything for you!
You know what?
If you forget everything
I will pop up out of nowhere.
Like this.
And I'll hit on you.
You won't be able to
turn me down.
We'll start afresh every day.
Like permanent dating.
Awesome, isn't it?
You're going to grow
a goatee again?
Don't bother.
Let's forget everything
while we're happy.
I'll forget everything soon.
I won't know
why you're with me.
You'll be gone out of my head.
And so will I.
You understand that?
As my memory disappears
my soul will disappear too.
I'm scared!
Why would your soul disappear?
Get up.
Leave it to me.
I'm your memory.
I'm your heart.
Got that?
No more tears!
Our address is...
Hwagok, Gangseo district, 464-
Who am I?
Choi Chul-soo.
And you?
Kim Su-jin.
I feel all better already.
Good.
Kim Su-jin.
Come home early.
Okay.
By six.
Okay.
What for?
Do you want to go somewhere?
It's your mom's birthday
Forgot again?
Take these.
I've also invited my parents
and your carpenter teacher.
I'll cook lots of food.
Don't be late.
Honey?
It's yours.
See if...
Did you eat yet?
Hold on.
Having a party
today or something?
What party?
Never mind.
Can we go somewhere
and talk?
Why bother?
Go wash up.
We're eating soon.
Remember what happened
the other day on the street?
What?
I'm married?
What are you saying?
You're not?
What's wrong, Young-min?
Are you trying to dump me?
Please don't!
What are you talking about?
Come to your senses.
Wake up!
Su-jin, are you okay?
Who's that guy?
I just...
Come here! Let's go.
- Come here!
- What are you doing?
- Come on!
- Let go of me!
Wait!
Wait...
Wait... wait!
Go ahead kill me.
She's fed up with you.
She wants to go back
to the days with me, got that?
Good for you.
Congratulations!
You must be happy.
You'll be happier in hell!
Happy now?
Happy? Happy?
You're still young.
We'll take care of her.
No.
It runs in the family.
She seems fine now...
but soon she won't be able
to control her bladder and worse.
You can't handle that.
She's my wife.
I'm taking care of her.
I know how you feel.
But you need
to be reasonable.
Stop it.
She's staying with me.
Don't be so stubborn!
Enough!
- Please leave.
- Chul-soo!
Su-jin?
What's going on?
Anything wrong?
Su-jin!
Are you okay?
Open the door.
it's Mom!
Open the door!
Su-jin!
- Su-jin, my poor baby...
- What happened to your arm?
Su-jin!
Su-jin, open the door.
It's your mom.
It's me.
Happy birthday.
Keep out
Can the window be bigger?
Why not?
I'll fix it later tonight.
How much bigger?
I don't know.
Just want more sun.
Okay.
Bye.
Young-min.
Yes?
I love you.
Me too.
I'll be home early.
One at a time!
She doesn't recognize me
anymore.
She doesn't?
I know how that feels,
but don't let it eat you up.
It's the recent memories
that disappear first.
That's what Alzheimer's does.
No point in blaming the patient.
Looking straight into my eyes...
She calls me by the name
of her ex-lover.
And she says
I love you.
Who does she really love?
She misses those days.
Right?
That's just what remains
in her memory.
You received her love, not me.
Ask yourself.
What the hell are you
talking about?
You got us to redo this
three times already.
Now that you're in suits you
want to have fun with your wife?
While we finish up all this?
Damn, let's talk sense here, man.
Chil-bok, I...
Who am I?
What?
Am I that bad?
What's wrong?
Hey, Chul-soo
Great job, isn't it?
- Chul-soo!
- Chul-soo... Chul-soo!
How to read time.
Su-jin, Chul-soo
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I never meant to break
your heart.
God, what have I done?
Are you crying now?
I didn't want to see you
crying or in pain.
I wanted to make you happy.
But all I've done is put
you in agony.
Chul-soo!
Oh my love Chul-soo.
Don't get me wrong.
I only love you and only you.
I only think of you.
I only remember you.
How badly do I wish
to show you my heart!
Is there any way I can do that
while my memory remains?
Oh, my heart races.
I, Kim Su-jin
love you Choi Chul-soo, only.
I dont want to forget that.
And I must not.
Can you see that?
Can you feel my heart?
I'm afraid my just-returned
memory will leave me again...
before I tell you everything
I have to say.
I love you. And Im sorry.
I met you
because I was forgetful.
Im leaving you
because Im forgetful.
You were the best thing
that ever happened to me.
How thankful I am to God
for having sent you as a gift to me.
I don't have to remember you.
You're a part of me.
I smile, laugh, and smell like you do.
I might forget you,
but nothing can drive you
out of my body.
Although you've never told me
you loved me...
I know deep in my heart
that you love me.
Forgive me for leaving you.
Please...
For the last time
I have a favor to ask.
Please see my father.
Petition for Divorce
You've had a hard time
ever since you were born.
That miserable pain of the past...
is about to bring you a fortune.
And you are blowing it away?
Does that make sense?
Go!
Go back to work!
Man, Su-jin...
Do you know the saying...
Forgiving is just giving your hate
a little room in your heart?
She's given me a lot.
I have something to tell her...
before she forgets me completely.
If I don't...
my life will be meaningless.
Missing Person
Can I ask you this
When the memory calls
I can talk about our love story
all over again
You watching me asleep
and You in my dream
will never fade away.
A memory to remember forever.
I like dust.
When it's all over me...
It feels good.
When the sadness
is all over me.
I can just...
Just dust it off.
Light... Got a light?
Love and money are
like these cigarettes.
What's the use
without a light?
Can you love without light?
Cigarette...
I'll just chuck it away.
Chuck it, chuck it.
Chuck it, chuck it.
Same with your sadness
like this...
You're turning away
I cant hide my tears
I couldn't say I love you
I yearn for that time
I had with you
My beloved memory
cannot be erased...
Want to have a go again?
Hey...
You're so inconsiderate.
You should've given me
a chance.
How could you leave me
like that?
I'm all alone again.
Choi Chul-soo
Gangneung
Strangely, I remember
everything today.
The batting range, the store...
everything!
Maybe this is the last time.
So Im writing to you
while I can.
The highest mountain in Korea
is Mt. Baekdu at 2,744 meters.
That coke I snatched from you was 70 cents.
I'm doing well.
The second highest is
Mt. Halla at 1,950 meters.
See?
You don't have to worry
about me.
Santa Claus is December 25.
Pretty good, right?
You can forget me now
to make us even.
Meet someone
nice and be happy.
Don't lose your temper.
You don't look cool when you do.
You might not know it
but you make a good husband.
I know that for a fact
because I was your wife.
Don't try to find me
Chul-soo.
Goodbye.
Some days she can't get
dressed without help.
She's adapting well though.
She tore up all the pictures
except that one.
This way.
You have a visitor.
A visitor?
Thank you.
Don't you... recognize me?
Do I know you?
Nice to meet you.
I'm Choi Chul-soo.
This smell...
I remember it from somewhere...
My uncle...
The bus...
Somewhere...
My memory...
Dreams...
Dreams...
I can't remember...
Why are you crying?
Is she allowed to take a trip?
Is this heaven?
Yes.
I love you.
