(June, 2022)
Would it be okay for me to look for something?
Oh, go ahead...
Thank you.
Hoo!
Hey, isn't that Ryu Sun-jae?
What's he digging up?
What's that?
An egg? A gourd?
(Hangang River 6 months later, January 1, 2023)
Oh, hey.
Hi. Hey.
It's been a long time.
Ah, I'm freezing.
It's way past midnight.
Why isn't she coming?
Yeah, what?
Sun-jae.
Why are you hugging an egg in your arms?
Huh?
How'd you know?
A reporter from TBS called
saying he saw you with an egg at Hangang River.
He wanted to know what you were filming.
Uh... Dong-seok.
If you were supposed to meet someone
and they didn't show up for an hour,
does that mean you've been stood up?
An hour?
That means they've totally forgotten about it.
When did you set up it up?
15 years ago.
I'm sorry but
asking to meet 15 years later means "I never want to see you again, ever."
Why are you so naive?
That's what it means?
If you're not planning to hold a fan meeting there, just go home.
If someone gets a photo of you...
Someone posted already.
And where on earth did you get this egg?
I'm hanging up.
Time that starts flowing again.
That's my gift to you.
Will this gift
really be able to reach you in the future?
I pray desperately that it does
as I write this letter to you.
If you're reading this,
I really want to say
"Thank you, Sun-jae.
For being alive."
"Time that starts flowing again"?
Oh?
The forecast didn't say anything about snow.
It's the first snow of the year.
Sun-jae will be so happy.
What...?
It's just like that day.
It can't be...
No...
(Im Sol)
Dong-seok.
Yes? What? What?
The staff from the production company...
Is her name Im Sol?
Yes!
You actually know her?
She said you'd remember her if I told you her name.
Sun-jae! Sun-jae!
Don't forget!
Hangang Bridge.
Even if we're not in each other's lives,
promise me you'll come that day.
It's Sun-jae!
Hey, over here!
Why do you want to go to Hangang Bridge all of a sudden?
Huh?
He should've gone by already.
Did he go home?
That would be a relief.
♪ I can't hide how much I miss you ♪
♪ I fall asleep exhausted thinking of you ♪
Hello?
It's me.
♪ I would hold you in my arms ♪
♪ I miss you all day ♪
♪ I wish I could turn back our time ♪
♪ Whatever days lie ahead ♪
♪ I'll always remember you ♪
♪ Deep in my heart ♪
It's been a long time.
Yes, it has.
Yeah.
Why are you standing out here though?
Did your car break down?
No.
I was waiting for you.
How did you know I'd be coming through here?
I just had a feeling.
What if I hadn't seen you?
You're still the same as ever.
Do you want to go somewhere and get some tea?
Oh, is it too late?
No, it's fine with me.
Sun-jae!
I'm really sorry for interrupting,
but everyone's asking why you're not at the after-party.
You were the last person to see him
last night before he died.
-We have to get going. -I can't let him go like this.
Hang on.
No, don't go.
You can't go.
What?
I mean, what I'm trying to say is...
Sun-jae.
Stay with me tonight.
Let's spend the night together, you and me.
What do you mean by that?
Exactly what I said.
You
and me, the two of us?
Yes.
Don't go. Stay with me.
Okay. I will.
Sun-jae, what if someone sees you standing around here?
Can you tell everyone I can't make it to the party?
What?
But...
Where are you going?
-Aren't you getting in? -What?
Oh... I am! I am!
What? Sun-jae?
Uh...
How have you been?
How do I look?
You look good.
Then I guess I'm good.
Nothing hard going on in your life?
Not really.
Really?
You've really been okay?
How about you?
I think I've been doing pretty well too.
I'm fit and healthy, and I have a job.
That's good.
Where are we going though?
Somewhere we can be alone.
We're here.
Huh?
A hotel?
You must come here often.
Striding in like you know the place.
Well, I prefer places I'm familiar with.
You have places you prefer?
I like the ambience here.
What ambience is that?
Uh, Sun-jae.
Why...
don't we go somewhere else?
Why? You don't like it here?
Uh... It's not about whether I like it or not...
Then let's go in.
This is the only place we can be
without any prying eyes.
Sun-jae.
I know I'm the one who asked you to spend the night with me. I did say that,
but the night I was talking about isn't that kind of night...
What I'm trying to say is...
I wasn't referring to an "NOP."
"NOP"?
You know, a night of passion.
Of course, we're not total strangers,
and you and I did have kind of a thing in the past.
And some people, when they meet old friends after a long time,
they skip the beginning and the middle and go straight to the end,
but I'm sorry to say,
I'm the conservative type.
What are you...
But that doesn't mean I think badly of you for getting that idea.
We just have different values, that's all.
Two adults getting in the mood at a nice place like here
is totally understandable.
But when I asked you to spend the night together,
I really didn't mean that kind of night.
I'm sorry.
I don't think you need to be.
Still, I'm sorry for giving you the wrong idea.
Can we get a nice table, please?
Of course, this way.
Ah...
This is so humiliating.
I'm sorry for bringing someone so conservative here.
But crowded places make me uncomfortable.
You understand, right?
Of course...
I forgot for a sec that you were famous.
Why did you come to see me though?
Oh. Well...
I wanted to apologize.
I didn't push you into the fountain
because I was mad about the movie.
It was an honest mistake.
I was in a rush and didn't even know it was you.
Yeah,
you'd never do something like that on purpose.
Forget about the charges.
I called the police about another matter.
I don't know why they took you.
I'm sorry for getting you into trouble.
It's okay.
Is that the only reason why you came to see me?
Hmm?
I mean, I thought...
The time capsule?
I thought you might've come to see me because of that.
You remembered?
Did you go that day?
No,
I'm busy you know. Very busy.
Oh, you didn't go.
That's good.
What about you? Did you go?
No, I didn't go either.
You made such a big deal out of it.
Are you okay with not getting it back?
It's okay.
My wish came true anyway.
Seeing you again...
Makes me really glad.
I guess you really are okay now.
You used to be scared of seeing me after that day.
That day?
Never mind.
You wanted to be a movie director
and you're really working in the industry.
Okay, okay, okay, one more.
Get in, get in, get in.
Here we go. One, two, three.
(ECLIPSE Concert, a huge success!!)
A concert in five years.
We poured our hearts into it.
Thank you, and we love you.
Eclipse, we love you forever!
Thanks for becoming a singer.
Where's Ryu Sun-jae?
I heard he went to a hotel with a girl instead of going to the party.
(Baek In-hyuk)
One sec.
Yeah?
Are you at the Shelton Hotel?
It's all over social media that you're there with a girl.
I didn't even know you had a girl to meet up with after the concert!
Who is it? Who is she?
None of your business.
Come on, everyone's going to know by tomorrow morning anyway.
Reporters are probably staked out at that hotel already.
I'm hanging up.
What is it?
I'm sorry but we have to go.
Already?
But we hardly got to talk.
Reporters are on our tail. You go out first...
No,
I'll go out first.
You can take your time and finish your tea.
No, I can't let him go yet...
Can't you stay a little longer?
It'll only be a hassle for you if the story gets out.
Sun-jae, wait.
Cover up your face when you leave, just in case.
I'll call you.
We can talk again next time.
Get home safe.
Hello?
Thank you.
Excuse me!
Kim, you keep an eye on the van.
I'll watch the entrance.
Got it.
What on earth?
Huh? What the...?
Sun-jae! Quick, quick, quick.
Get in, get in.
Huh? Hey!
What are you doing?
Do you want your photo taken?
Just get in if you don't want your photo taken!
Get in, now!
What exactly is your plan...
As long as there's no photo of us together, no one will believe it.
Ha, what is going on?
What does it look like?
I'm driving, you're riding shotgun.
Exactly.
Why did you suddenly drag me into your car?
I couldn't let you go alone when you even have a stalker...
My manager was there to pick me up.
Oh, he was?
I didn't see him.
Well, since you're here, I'll give you a ride home.
I'm a good driver.
I've never had an accident for ten years.
You haven't changed.
Always charging ahead.
Okay, let's keep charging.
You want to come up to my place at this hour?
Why?
Uh, because...
I really need to go really bad.
Can I use your bathroom?
What?
Ah, oh no.
I can't hold it in anymore.
-For real? -Of course it's real...
She was all over Sun-jae
asking him to spend the night together.
So where'd they run off to?
If not a hotel, where else could they spend the night together?
I'm sure he took her home...
Home?
Ooh...
Sun-jae's place?
Oh no!
What's wrong?
Dang it...
The game company I did a commercial for sent me a gift.
Okay...
And I threw it out this morning, at Sun-jae's place.
Ow, my stomach,
ow, ow.
Woah... Wow...
Ow, ow, where's the bathroom?
The bathroom?
This way! Come on.
Take as much time as you need.
Oh, so this is your bathroom.
What's this doing here?
Ah!
Baek In-hyuk! That moron.
Careful, careful, careful.
I can't believe this happened in the middle of the night... Sheesh.
I'm hungry.
We're going over to Geum's, Mom.
(Seoul 80A0074)
(355RO2653)
Ah...
I basically barged into his house...
I wish I could've met him again with a better image.
Who cares about my image right now?
I can't leave Sun-jae alone tonight no matter what!
(Mom)
Hey, mom.
Sol, where are you?
I'm still out. Why?
The water pipes at home froze over and burst.
Your grandma and I are going over to Geum's in a cab right now.
You should come over to his house too.
I'm not going home tonight.
I'm sleeping out so don't worry.
Sleeping out?
You have a place to spend the night?
Are you seeing someone?
If that's the case, I will allow it.
Yes, I'm with a guy, okay?
Anyway, I'm not going home tonight so don't wait up.
Stay with me tonight.
Let's spend the night together, you and me.
But she said it wasn't that kind of night!
What the...?
Stop it.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
Oh, you're out?
Yeah.
How do I stall for time?
What's she doing?
Is she really trying to stay over?
You have such an amazing place.
Would you mind giving me a tour of your house?
I'm not going home tonight.
No?
Yes!
Wow! The TV is big as I am!
Wooow!
It's huge!
It'd take all night just to organize your clothes!
Oh! What's this?
How do I look?
You're going spend all night looking at my clothes?
Let's go.
Come on, how do I look?
I can't take my eyes off this painting.
It's like, my soul has been captivated.
I heard people can spend all day looking at famous paintings.
I finally understand why. Mm-hmm.
Should I take it down?
You can take it home with you.
Huh?
Oh, no...
Wow, what an amazing view.
Hey, is that Namsan Tower over there? Does this place face south?
No, west...
I see... Hmm...
Wow, what about this plant?
Wow, I love the scent of phytoncide!
It's fake...
Oh, right.
Oh, it looked so real.
-That one's real... -Ow!
You pricked your finger? Let me see.
You're not hurt anywhere? Let me see.
I'm okay.
Thanks.
Should we finish up the tour? Where haven't I seen?
My bedroom.
You want to see that too?
Huh?
Oh, no, no, no.
Then you've seen everything. Should we head out?
Uh, Sun-jae.
Um,
aren't you hungry?
Can I have some ramyeon before I go?
I'm not going home tonight. I'm not going home tonight.
No?
-Yes! -No!
Anyone but Im Sol...! Dang it.
Did something happen all those years ago?
Did something happen? Sure it did.
He saved her life but did she ever thank him for it?
Anyway, she's not good for him.
I can't believe Sun-jae either.
He hasn't seen her for ten years and he just fell for her again?
He better not be cooking for her like a total pushover.
Are those meds?
I hope it's not for depression.
Are you interested in medicine?
No, I was just
wondering what they were.
Multivitamins,
Omega-3,
lutein,
supplements.
You're taking care of yourself.
That's good.
You're not eating?
How do you expect me to eat right now?
What?
I'm on a diet.
Oh, right.
I guess you have to being a celebrity and all.
Since I don't have to, I'll just dig in.
He's going to ask me to leave now.
What? Why's it so quiet?
Why isn't he saying anything?
Get up.
I know you're not sleeping.
It'll be less embarrassing for you to get up now.
Oh, I must've dozed off.
If you hadn't woken me up, I'd have slept until morning.
Are you really going to sleep over?
Huh?
Who's that?
Excuse me. Can I help you?
Uh, well...
You said so yourself it's not that kind of night,
so it can't be that.
Is this about the movie?
Are you trying to stay so that you can ask me to do it?
No, that's a misunderstanding.
Then explain, before I really do misunderstand.
-You... -Me?
Tonight...
I'm worried you might die.
You're worried I might die?
Yes.
I felt like I had to stick by your side tonight to rest easy.
Just in case something I'd regret later happened by sending you off on your own.
That's why I followed you into your house too.
Yes, a dream! I had a bad dream.
I dreamed that you were badly injured at a competition
and it felt so real.
I thought it might really happen, which made be anxious and worried.
You haven't changed at all.
Did you dream that I died this time?
How could I ever explain
how painful it was
when you were no longer in this world?
Why would I die?
What do you usually have on your mind to have dreams like that?
You know how in celebrity interviews,
they talk about how difficult things are for them mentally.
And some even make a bad choice because of it.
There are rumors about you too.
How you have depression or panic attacks...
I don't have anything like that.
Either depression or panic attacks.
Really? Are you sure?
Don't believe in everything you hear.
If you don't, that's good.
But,
why are you worried about me?
After all this time...
I know...
After all this time...
You must be tired. I'm sorry you couldn't rest because of me.
I'll clean this up and go.
Don't go!
Oh!
Oh no...
It'll be too big but just wear it.
Yeah. Okay...
Oh...
You can change in here.
Thanks.
Woah! Ah...
Ah! No!
Hey, are you done changing?
Yes! I'm done!
If you're all changed, you should go.
Oh.
Oh, wait. My clothes...
Oh!
So, this is your hobby...
No!
I get it.
No, don't get it! It's not what you think!
What do you take me for?
This... This is... I mean...
I can definitely say for sure that this doesn't belong to me.
I didn't even know this was here
until I got home!
It's fine.
It's okay for a single guy
to have something like this at home...
It's not mine!
Ah. Let's just talk outside.
Why? Let me see that again...
What? No, don't. I'm telling you, it's not mine!
Oh, come on...
Stop it!
Oh!
Sun-jae!
Stay here one sec.
Okay.
Sun-jae?
Did I walk in at the wrong time?
Huh? What?
I think I saw you with a girl...
What are you talking about?
This is what you saw!
No.
I'm pretty sure I saw that, and one more person.
How many fingers?
-Two. -No, one!
You're drunk and seeing things...
Really?
Hey, I heard you met Im Sol.
You didn't bring her home?
-What...? -We had tea, then left.
-Hey, you're drunk. -Go! Get out!
Hey, but you...
No, right?
If by any chance, you're not over her...
No, no...
Go! Now...
No?
Then...
Might as well wash up since I'm here.
Why are you always washing up here?
Just go home.
Hey, I told you.
I love your tub!
How much did you have to drink?
What?
Just hurry up and shower then.
Can I take a bath?
Yeah, do whatever you want.
Yes!
Sorry about that. Let's go.
Hey, Sun-jae.
What? What now?
What the heck is this?
What is this?
How'd you find that?
Is Sol really that pretty?
I don't see it.
There are other girls much prettier than her around you!
They're all over the place!
That jerk!
But why haven't you gotten over her yet, you dummy!
It's not like that!
Yeah right.
Don't you remember all your antics
every time you got drunk?
(2012)
Damn.
Im Sol!
(2014)
Sun-jae!
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Get up, will you! get up!
I'm not going.
Yes, you are.
Im Sol! Sol! Sol!
(2019)
Mommy.
Geez.
Are you a salmon?
Do you come here to lay eggs?
What kind of homing instinct is this?
For 10 years now, you've been moping around her old house whenever you drink.
I'm not coming back.
Today's the last time.
I'm moving on.
Get up, get up.
I just wanna stay a bit longer.
What... Just get up!
-Just a little longer... -Seriously!
Are you still going to deny it?
You never even had a girlfriend
because you couldn't get over your first love!
Geez...
Hey! Hey, put me down!
Put me down! Hey!
Hey!
Shut up and just take a bath.
Can I?
Ah, so nice and warm...
How are you? Are you okay?
-You haven't been coming to school... -It's just...
Thank you.
Thank you so much for what you did.
But whenever I see you, I'm reminded of that day,
and it scares me.
That's why I can't bring myself to look at you.
But that tree
wasn't there anymore.
I dug it up before that.
Oh, I see.
Then, on the night of January 1st...
I was there.
That day.
I went.
Um, Sun-jae.
You should go in.
I went there too, that day.
To see you.
But I was late
and I guess we just missed each other.
Yeah, I guess.
And also,
I...
liked you too.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you how I felt.
I'm sorry I hurt you.
I know this doesn't mean much now,
but I'm sorry.
But I had no other choice back then.
There was nothing I could do
and it hurt me too.
If I ever met you again,
I wanted to tell you
that I liked you too,
and that I missed you.
I wanted to see you so so much, Sun-jae.
The way you are now...
Oh, someone might see you.
Thanks for bringing me home. Bye.

Who-who-who-who is it?
I'm from the maintenance office.
I'm here about the water pipes that burst last night.
Oh, right.
Uh...
I'm sorry but could you come back later?
I can't.
I only have time now.
Why isn't she saying anything...
Oh, hello.
It's cold out. Bye, Geum.
Geum?
Yes!
You know my older brother, don't you?
The one who just had a second baby...
Eh? The eldest son?
Yes...
I've known him for years.
He looks totally different.
He got himself a new face.
With plastic surgery.
You should get going, Geum.
Bye!
Go, hurry!
Come in, come in!
-I'll be going then. -Yeah, bye!
-I'm really going! -Yeah!
It's nice to be young...
That's one loud car.
I haven't seen that car around before.
(20WU9835)
Sorry. Keep going.
Geez.
You're smiling?
You're smiling in this situation?
What are you going to do about this movie?
(Hero)
(Recent calls)
He's probably busy, right?
(Mom)
Hey, Mom.
Can you go see Hyeon-ju during your lunch hour?
Your brother is about to be divorced.
What are you talking about?
Apparently, he invested in a friend's business
and lost half of it.
Hyeon-ju found out and he got kicked out
with nothing but the clothes on his back.
What?
Argh!
So, you're really going to get a divorce?
Are you crazy?
A divorce is no joke.
I'm sure he was feeling a lot of pressure with the second baby.
The house is tiny, our family is growing,
it's hard to save up with a single income,
but it's not like he knew this would happen...
(Im Sol)
I'm actually jealous of you the most.
If only
I had gone to the interview at the production company with you.
It would've been nice going to school
and working with you...
Why was I in such a rush to get married before getting a job?
If you could go back,
would you not marry Geum?
If I don't,
would that change my future?
Most likely.
Okay. But even if my future changes,
how can I be sure it's for the better?
I might be happy today,
but what tomorrow?
Who knows what sort of bad things might happen?
You never know what'll happen in life,
and you won't know until you live it.
Oh, did my baby pee?
I'm right here.
Even if someone says they could send me back in time,
I would never take a gamble on my life.
If I had never gotten married,
I'd never have had my beautiful babies.
(#A moisturizer is all takes for glowy skin)
Hello?
It's me.
Yeah.
Things were hectic all morning.
Did you get to work okay?
Aren't you tired?
I'm fine...
You must be busy.
I have to work until late today...
I see.
You didn't even get to rest yesterday after the concert.
You must be tired.
I'm not tired at all.
Liar.
It's okay to let people know if you're having a hard time.
You're like this with other people too, aren't you?
If you're having a hard time, you need to say so,
or else no one will know.
Hello?
Why are you quiet all of a sudden?
Because, I'm just happy.
That gift though... The wind-up clock.
What does it mean?
I just hoped that
time wouldn't stop for you and keep on going...
That's weird.
What is?
Now that you mention it,
it feels like time had been on pause
and now, it's moving again.
Really?
Yeah!
Wanna meet up tomorrow?
Okay! I'll see you tomorrow!
Wait, wanna meet up tonight?
When do you get off?
I'm not sure.
Then, won't you be too tired?
No, let's meet even if it's late.
I'll go see you.
Okay, then.
Sun-jae, we're nearly there.
Okay.
Sounds like you have to go.
Just a little bit longer.
Come on, we'll be seeing each other later.
Should we just meet up now?
What?
Just say the word!
I'll cancel everything and go see you.
You should get to work.
See you later.
Oh!
What about the scales?
The mermaid's tail will be hard to make because of the reflection...
Oh...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Focus, will you?
You were saying?
For the scales, we'll use tinfoil...
Over here!
Good night.
Please leave a message...
It's been off all day.
Is something up?
Her phone must've died.
Eyes on the road.
Oh my god!
Geez...
How does she keep getting in?
Security said they'd make sure this didn't happen again.
-She's back? -Yes.
Even this morning when In-hyuk was asleep,
she tried to get in again.
Was she here all day?
Geez, she's pissing me off.
Don't be.
Just call the police and take me to the hotel.
I'm gonna get changed and go see Sol.
Oh, right!
I left my car at Sun-jae's.
He probably isn't home yet.
Oh,
it's been off all day?
(Sol)
Please leave a message...
I guess he's still working.
Where did I park my car?
Oh! Found it!
(Missed call / Sol)
I didn't hit her!
She just tripped and fell on her own.
Oh no! Are you okay?
Stop right there!
That stalker!
What a pain!
Stalker?
Yes...
