Dear Reporter Back Yi-jin. How have you been?
New York is still filled with grief,
but time goes by as if nothing ever happened.
My colleague could not come back in the end.
But thanks to you, many have expressed their condolences
and said that he will be remembered.
Thank you for everything.
Thank you. Merry Christmas.
UBS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT APPLICATION FORM
FINALE
Take a look at the printed materials and do a fact-check.
Yes, sir.
APPOINTMENT TO NEW YORK OFFICE BACK YI-JIN
Congratulations.
I feel much at ease now since this position will be in good hands.
Thank you.
I had not expected this.
You've had a hard time.
Will you be okay?
Well…
maybe it's because I still have a lot to learn.
I still have hope for this world.
That's good.
Have you told your family?
What about your girlfriend?
I haven't told anyone yet.
You didn't think you'd get it.
HEE-DO
Hee-do.
It's me.
You're up early.
Yes. Have you had dinner?
Yes, I had it earlier.
I think I'll be back in Korea next month.
Really?
I won't be here though.
Do you have a match?
Yes.
The Grand Prix and the World Championship are happening back-to-back,
so I'll be in Europe for more than a month.
I see.
Hee-do.
Actually…
I applied for a correspondent position in New York and I got it.
That…
That's great news.
I'm happy for you.
I'll be in Korea to wrap things up because of that.
I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise.
Yi-jin.
I want you…
to stop feeling sorry for me.
I'll hang up now.
2 MONTHS LATER
One, two, three.
Yes, very good.
Thank you. So you're really going to post this on Moonstreet?
I go on that website like every day.
Thanks. It'll be there tomorrow, so you can check.
All right.
It feels surreal to meet you in person.
I'm a huge fan.
-Really? -Yes.
Real recognize real.
Okay. I'll check tomorrow then. Take care.
Can you take a picture of me, too?
Am I dreaming?
Come on. That's not going to hurt even if you're awake.
Moon Ji-woong!
This isn't a dream.
What is this?
Weren't you coming next week?
I came straight to Korea without stopping over in Russia.
Seung-wan told me you were here, so here I am.
Do you have some time today?
Of course. My time is all yours.
Do you want to have dinner at my house?
At your house?
Ji-woong.
What do your parents do?
Mom is a head nurse at a teaching hospital.
As for my dad… My parents got divorced when I was young,
so I'm not in touch with him.
It must have been hard for you as a child.
I'm sorry.
You should be good to your mom.
I'm sure she went through a lot to raise you on her own.
Yes, I should.
But now I'm doing my best for Yu-rim
so I feel bad for her.
He says things so nicely.
He's also a nice person.
All right. Gosh.
Is Hee-do back in Korea too?
You two had the same schedule.
Yes, she's coming tomorrow.
Yes, I've just arrived.
Yes.
Right. Yes, I think I have the file.
Yes.
Okay. I'll look for it and get back to you.
Yes.
Sorry sir, but could you pull over for a minute?
I have to get my laptop from my suitcase.
Sure.
Thank you.
There must have been a mix-up because they look the same.
Did she leave it here?
Yes. She told us your name
and that you'll come back to get it.
To be honest, the airline isn't at fault for what has happened.
It seems like you know each other. Do you want to call her?
Or would you like for us to call her?
I'll leave it here. Please let her know.
Yi-jin.
Why are you leaving like that?
Because…
I think I know what this means.
Then you should have also left it there.
I couldn't.
Did I mess this up?
Neither of us is at fault here.
And yet we've grown this much apart.
It just happened.
I thought you wouldn't want me to drop everything…
and come back to Korea.
No, I don't.
Then what should I have done?
Yi-jin.
I'm not trying to say
who is right or wrong.
It's just that…
this love isn't supporting me anymore.
We're making things difficult by blaming one another.
I want it to stop.
You and I…
both mean a lot to each other.
Can you do that?
Breaking up, I mean.
We were already in the middle of it.
We won't be able to avoid each other.
We have a lot of mutual contacts
and we live in the same area.
Let's say hello then.
This is where I met you for the first time.
And this is where we end.
I guess so.
I should go.
Back Yi-jin speaking--
I'm sorry. I will look for it right away.
Yes, sorry. I'll get back to you shortly.
Yes.
Shut the door, check.
Oh my gosh! Look who's here!
Sir.
When did you get back?
A few days ago. Where are you coming back from so early?
I went out yesterday and came back in today.
It's so good to see you
after such a long time, sir.
Sir!
Sir, you look sharp.
Sir, it was nice meeting you.
You're drunk. You should go in.
Right. Did you know that Hee-do and Yu-rim are also back in Korea?
How long has it been?
We should get together.
We should all have a drink, sir.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
So you have more than 3,000 visitors a day?
Yes, that's just the start.
So many people are interested in fashion.
What are your plans when the website becomes famous?
I'll try selling clothes since they come to look at clothes.
You're awesome.
Well…
it's just a dream for now.
It might not go as planned.
We sound like grown-ups talking about these kinds of things.
We used to put watermelon seeds on our faces.
You're right. Now that I think about it, Yi-jin really put up with us.
Is Yi-jin not coming today?
I asked him to come.
He sent a text.
He says he can't come.
Why did he text you?
We broke up.
I was busy with my matches,
and Yi-jin…
is now a New York correspondent.
Really?
Then will he be living in New York?
Yes.
With all that happening,
it was hard to set up any plans.
I couldn't see our future.
I've never imagined you two breaking up.
After a certain point, I could just picture that happening.
What I had imagined eventually became reality.
You did good.
That must have been tough.
So the five of us can't get together anymore?
That's why dating within a friend group can break the group.
-What about you two? -We are not breaking up.
We won't, for the sake of this group.
Cut it out, and fill up your glasses.
Mine is already full.
Yu-rim, can you get my cell phone from my bag?
Yes.
So is there no chance of you two getting back together?
We're done for good.
I guess your cell phone is done for as well.
This is the latest model.
It features a 40-chord polyphonic ringtone with a color display.
-Isn't it awesome? -It is.
I will take that.
-Really? Just like that? -Yes.
All right then. The plan we would like to recommend…
Miss, I see you're on a plan for couples.
You're keeping that. Right?
No, please cancel that.
To do so, you need consent from the other party.
I can't cancel it on my own?
That's nonsense.
You opted to cancel upon mutual consent when you had signed up for this plan.
Can I please borrow your phone?
I need your consent to cancel our phone plan.
We'd have to do it at some point.
So tell me. Do you both need more time to think?
For about four weeks?
That's okay.
All right.
Once you cancel this plan, you will have to sign up for a new line,
and free unlimited calls between you two will no longer apply.
Do you both agree?
Yes.
Okay. Then please sign here.
Once you sign, you can't take it back.
Are we doing the right thing?
Yes, we are.
I've thought about it for six months.
You've been thinking without me.
You've been thinking by yourself.
I know.
What have you been doing for six months?
What were you doing while we were growing apart?
You pretended not to know.
No, I didn't.
I just didn't have anything to say.
Why not?
I didn't want to drag you into what I was going through.
Is that all?
"Is that all"?
Hee-do, I…
I'm sorry if I upset you.
But there I was, doing my best to hang in there.
Dead bodies were recovered from the site every single day.
I met with bereaved families and survivors…
Every day I met people who were suffering.
The city was like a living hell.
Another terrorist attack could happen anytime.
It broke me down.
I missed you, but I couldn't go to see you.
People were dying before my eyes.
Being able to even miss someone felt like a luxury.
Everything was new to me.
And frankly, your support was burdensome.
I couldn't cheer up no matter what.
But you were rooting for me,
so I wanted to show you that I could do well.
I didn't want to complain.
Weren't you listening to me at all?
I said I was going to share everything that's yours.
Everything, including your sadness, frustration, and happiness.
When you went AWOL because of Yu-rim going to Russia,
I said it right here as we wiped the graffiti off the wall.
How could I, when that doesn't change anything?
I'd have done it if I could solve my issues
by sharing them with you and making you worry with me.
But that's not it!
Two people will then have to struggle instead of one.
Is that what you want?
Is it?
Do you think I could have chosen to bring you down with me?
You're right.
And that is why we are breaking up.
Can't you see?
We're lovers only during the good times,
and a burden to each other in the bad times.
"Don't hurt yourself."
"I'm protecting an athlete."
Our relationship should have stopped at that level.
I could root for you even when you disappeared without a word…
and I could reach you even though we were apart.
Then I wanted to have you.
But now that I have, we have all these problems.
I think…
we shouldn't have been in this kind of love.
We didn't know how
but we went ahead with it anyway.
Don't jump to conclusions.
We were fine before I went to the US.
Is that what you really think?
Maybe I'm the one with issues.
When Mom didn't show up for Dad's funeral, there was a news flash.
"So when there's a news flash she will even skip her husband's funeral."
I had to teach myself things like that.
Because my mom never explained.
Yet here I am, dating someone like her.
Waiting, then being let down, and eventually giving up.
That's what I have been doing all my life.
And you're making me do that again.
I don't want that for my future, Yi-jin.
Don't you have any room to try and understand me?
You're not trying to understand me either.
Understand?
Is that too much to ask for?
Did you ever really love me?
Watch what you say.
You once said you liked me for being reckless!
All right.
Let's end this. I guess that's right.
What more can we do when you're disappointed in me?
You better not regret it though.
Is that a promise? Forget it if that's your advice.
Hee-do, really?
I know.
I guess this is how we end.
I should go.
Hee-do.
Na Hee-do!
-One, two! -One, two!
That's not how you do it.
Hey, Hee-do. You should try.
Should I show you?
-Stop it. -Let it go.
-Stop taking my stuff. -Just this once.
That's mine. I'm serious.
-Look, mine's gone. -Why do you always do this?
-Highlights? -Coach will scold you.
Let's hide it.
Highlights?
-Would she still notice? -That's so old-fashioned.
Prêtes? Allez.
Hey, that hurt a lot.
I'm sorry. I lost control for a second.
What's the matter?
-Oh my goodness. -Na Hee-do!
-Are you okay? -What's wrong with her?
Mom.
Are you all right? Tell me, how are you feeling?
Yes.
Where am I?
The hospital?
You passed out.
What happened?
We ran tests and there's nothing wrong. What's going on?
I have no idea.
This is ridiculous.
How can you laugh right now?
What is it? Are you stressed?
Maybe.
I…
broke up.
Why I ought to…
Should I get Yi-jin to come?
-Is this because you miss him? -That's not it. Stop.
You've been fine no matter how hard you trained.
But you passed out due to a breakup?
Are you sure you can do this?
I have to.
It's the right thing to do.
But Mom…
I don't think…
we should have ended like that.
What did you do while we were growing apart?
You pretended not to know.
Can't you see?
We're lovers only during the good times,
and a burden to each other in the bad times.
Yi-jin.
I didn't mean to say those things.
What I really wanted to tell you…
wasn't anything like that at all.
This stop is Seon Jung Girls' High School.
My diary.
Sorry, sir. Could you give me a minute?
I'm sorry. Please wait a moment.
Thank you!
In case someone finds it and reaches out,
can you please give me a call?
I'm sorry.
Yes.
Thank you.
It's a congratulatory gift.
Is it a pencil case?
Hey, that's too lame for a New Yorker to use.
Thank you.
Back Yi-jin, you're making history in UBS
becoming a correspondent at your age.
Who would want to go to New York these days?
But why are you going?
Because it feels as if
I could become a real reporter if I go to New York.
I hope I can be someone that I can approve of.
You're growing up so fast.
Right. Have you met the trainee reporters?
No.
They reminded me of you when you first came.
Call me before you fly out.
Thanks for the present, Jung-hyuk.
Are you a trainee?
I'm trainee reporter Shin Jun-hyeok.
I'm Back Yi-jin from the Local News. Nice to meet you. I don't think we've met.
No, sir. I saw you on the news covering the September 11 attacks.
Why are you crying?
Oh, it's nothing.
Did you lie about securing a landline and get caught using a cell phone?
How did you know?
You look like you'd do that.
Seriously, there were no phones available.
I couldn't find any payphones either.
I'm so pathetic. How will I ever become a reporter?
But you're trying your best.
I'm doing my best, but the results aren't great.
I get told off every day.
In some moments,
we're always doing our best…
but all of that is just practice.
That sounds too sad.
It is.
Back Yi-jin!
Jeez, you're almost done packing. You're leaving tomorrow morning, right?
Yes.
I'll be out early tomorrow so I came by to say goodbye.
I see.
Gosh. Why do I feel so sad?
Same here.
It was nice staying here, thanks to you.
Thank you for looking after me.
Come to visit when you're in Korea.
I'm sad that you're leaving, but I can't ask you to live here again.
I hope you get a nicer place
and live a great life.
Thank you. Please stay healthy, ma'am.
Gosh, I'll get going.
I'll drop by to see you on my way out.
All right.
FROM: KIM EUN-SU TO: BACK YI-JIN
BACK YI-JIN'S RESIDENT REGISTRATION CARD
Why do you have two?
I thought I lost it, so I got it reissued.
-Then I found my old one inside a pocket. -Really? Then give me one.
What for?
Nothing. Just for a keepsake.
Because I love you.
We couldn't find the time to see each other again this week.
Darn it, boot camp!
A surprise in the middle of the night.
We got matching travel bags at the night market.
It's going to be our first trip together, just the two of us.
I'm looking forward to it.
COMPARED TO THE DAYS WE HAVE AHEAD OF US, 600 DAYS IS JUST AN INSTANT
THANK YOU AND SORRY, AND I LOVE YOU
Did you go straight back home that day?
Yes, I did.
Please give me the strength to not be emotionally exhausted.
I'm alone again on our anniversary.
But I'm fine. We understand each other.
I can't tell since when, but you sound more genuine
in your apologies than when you say you love me.
I know how much pain you're in growing up, Yi-jin. Cheer up.
My support isn't reaching him anymore.
Yi-jin. I didn't mean to say those things.
What I really wanted to tell you
wasn't anything like that at all.
GOOD LUCK TO OUR NATIONAL TEAM
TAEREUNG NATIONAL TRAINING CENTER
Hee-do, do you know that Yi-jin is moving out today?
BUS STOP
Everything was new to me. And frankly, your support was burdensome.
I couldn't cheer up no matter what.
Don't you have any room to try and understand me?
What more can we do when you're disappointed in me?
You better not regret it though.
That can't be how we end our relationship.
We shouldn't have been in this kind of love.
I don't want that for my future, Yi-jin.
I can't let you go after saying such hurtful things.
Na Hee-do!
Back Yi-jin!
YI-JIN
You weren't at home.
I was out walking
and saw this here.
It looked like yours.
You left this here unattended. Someone could have taken it.
Do you have back-to-back competitions?
Don't get sick.
Don't get hurt.
You shouldn't rely so much on alcohol.
Get therapy if you're having a hard time.
I heard it's easy to get that kind of help in the US.
All right.
Your shoelace.
It's from running around.
And I knew you would get mad if I wore slippers.
Let's not put ourselves through too much hard time.
Goodbye, Yi-jin.
Take care, Hee-do.
We did it.
We've reached the World Cup semi-finals…
The Cheonggyecheon restoration project was finally launched today…
Typhoon Maemi has struck the southern coast…
The era of high-speed trains is here.
The film, The Host, reached ten million viewers…
A fire broke out at Sungnyemun, the first national treasure of Korea…
The first Black president Obama…
7 YEARS LATER
We don't have any candidates.
Jang Yeon-seo is great, but her pronunciation isn't good.
And her voice isn't like a news anchor.
Any thoughts?
Did you ask me to join in discussing who my successor will be?
Then don't quit. Continue as our anchor.
Why do you think we're in this meeting?
I'm old now. I need to get some rest.
That's why I'm saying, get some rest after choosing your replacement.
You should do that much at least.
Are you willing to accept whoever I recommend?
Who do you have in mind? Tell me.
Back Yi-jin.
Back Yi-jin?
Isn't he too young?
That's why.
He's young but he's been with us for ten years.
But the news has to be something the viewers can rely on.
Why wouldn't he be reliable? He's got the looks.
And isn't the goal of this reform to open a new era with a new face?
Innovation was the keyword.
A couple of days ago, Obama became the president at age 47.
Do you have a better card to play than youth to highlight innovation?
-Be careful. -Please hand it over here.
-Yes. -I'll put it here.
Yi-jin!
-You're here. -Hey.
This is such a nice, quiet neighborhood.
And there's a big park.
I'm glad you like it.
Thanks for all the hard work, Yi-jin.
You must have gone through a lot.
It's very small compared to our old place.
What's important is that our family is back together.
For the first time in 11 years.
I'm so sorry
and thank you.
So, did you buy the house?
I took out a loan.
That means…
-you've bought this place. -Mom.
When are you starting work?
From tomorrow.
All right.
Starting today, I'll be hosting UBS News.
I'm anchor Back Yi-jin.
Nice to meet you all.
-Welcome! -Awesome!
Congratulations. I'm counting on you.
How do you feel?
I wanted to be like you.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to dream.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Good evening.
I'm anchor Back Yi-jin, who will be the host for UBS News starting today.
UBS News will continue to deliver fast and accurate news.
We will try our best to deliver news from a unique perspective
to look into the core of the issues.
Our first news.
TAE YANG HIGH SCHOOL FENCING COACH YANG CHAN-MI
Did you turn down the national team coach position to come back here?
The national team is boring.
Everyone, including you, is grown up and won't listen to a word I say.
But it's fun here and I have a lot of good memories.
Coach.
I'm thinking of retiring
once I'm back from San Francisco.
Why?
I'm tired of competing.
I've been in this field for over 20 years.
I know everyone
and the stories behind each of them.
Winning isn't as much fun
as it used to be anymore.
When an athlete retires…
It feels amazing. You don't have to train anymore.
That does sound great.
You have the whip hand, so what are you worrying about?
Let's decide by odds or evens
whether you will retire after your match in San Francisco.
All right? Retire when it's odds.
Continue when it's evens.
Okay.
I'm not going to show you.
Why not?
Don't you remember?
When you came begging me to accept you,
we played this game and you lost all three times.
And yet, I still took you in.
The answer isn't here.
It's up to one's will.
How much you were willing to transfer schools.
And how much I was willing to accept that.
You idiot.
INTO THE WATER
Assistant director!
Hey, Ji Seung-wan!
Where are you?
-Set up the spinning wheel! -Ma'am.
Ma'am! A message. They need the spinning wheel.
I'm on my way!
INTO THE WATER, SLEEPING OUTSIDE, NO FOOD FOR 24 HOURS
I heard you only got two hours of sleep last night.
That's how it is for variety shows.
It's only fun watching them on TV and not for people making them.
Hold on a minute.
Okay.
Yes, Mom.
Okay.
Don't cry, Mom.
I'll be right there.
FROM ANCHOR BACK YI-JIN MAY HE REST IN PEACE
FROM MOONSTREET CEO MOON JI-WOONG
FENCING CLUB CEO KO YU-RIM NA HEE-DO
Look at that. They've sent flowers but no one showed up.
We can hear you.
What?
Who do we have here! Our national team members.
It's been so long, ma'am.
-Have you been well? -Yes.
Auntie, can't you see me? It's also been a while for us.
Gosh. Thank you all for coming.
-How have you been? -Good.
Are you okay?
Now we only get to see each other when someone passes away.
How are you holding up?
He was in bed for two years.
I guess he got tired of it.
My dad is giving me some time off so that I can take some rest.
I only get two hours of sleep these days.
Two hours? That's terrible.
You should take care of your parent's health.
I can't believe we're at this age.
But is it okay to come to a funeral when you have your wedding soon?
It's us. Don't worry about it.
If we called off the wedding off because of a jinx, then we weren't meant to be.
How could you say that so easily?
You haven't even proposed to me yet.
So there's nothing wrong with that.
Breaking an engagement is less complicated than getting a divorce.
Keep that in mind.
Hey.
It sounds serious since it's coming from a married person.
I'm totally serious.
You never know until you actually walk down the aisle.
That's true.
Right. When are you flying out to San Francisco?
In two weeks.
-You will win the gold medal, right? -Then who else will?
Ko Yu-rim isn't there anymore.
-Jeez. -Jeez.
Stop being so arrogant.
DONATION BOX
OH JUN-SEOK, LEE GYEONG-MIN KO YU-RIM, MOON JI-WOONG, NA HEE-DO
Sir?
How long has it been?
I only get to see you on TV.
It's been a long time.
I see the others already came by.
Yes, you are a step behind.
Mom would be happy to see you here,
but she is asleep now. She's totally exhausted.
Thank you for coming.
Look at the time. Did you come straight after the news?
Yes.
Right, I heard that you are with LBS.
How is it going?
-Entertainment is tough, right? -Yes.
Life isn't fun at all.
Gosh, you said the exact same thing ten years ago.
Is everyone the same? How are they all doing?
They're all surprisingly doing well.
Ji-woong used to run a street fashion website,
and he turned that into a business.
He started off uploading pictures of good dressers,
then he moved on to selling clothes.
The list of brands on his website is pretty impressive.
He also has his own brand.
I don't know about the composition.
Is there anything with more Tencel? I want it to be softer.
Sir, we keep getting calls asking about the brands that have been selected.
-We'll get back to them by this weekend. -Yes, sir.
Let's have a final screening at four o'clock.
One.
-Two. Point your toes. -Yu-rim retired two years ago
-and opened a fencing club. -One.
It's close to an international school, so she's making a fortune.
One.
-Apparently, learning to fence is a plus -Two.
when applying for Ivy League schools or something.
Yes, this is Ko Yu-rim Fencing Club.
I'm sorry, but all the classes are fully booked.
Yes.
One!
I'm just happy that Yu-rim is earning a lot of money.
Agreed.
I'm glad to hear that.
And, would you like to hear about your ex-girlfriend?
I'll see it on the news.
At times,
I miss the old days.
We had fun.
Of course, it was a lot of work for you
to look out for a bunch of clueless kids.
I liked you guys.
You would get into trouble all the time,
annoy me,
and make a big fuss over nothing.
Thanks to that, I could forget all my worries.
I could forget when I was with you guys.
Sir, now that I think about it, you were the only real adult in the group.
No wonder I couldn't relate to all you troublemakers.
Is it okay for you to drink? Didn't you bring your car?
It's fine. I can call up a driver. I have my own.
I think your driver is here.
Come and say hello.
Wanseung.
It's been so long.
Who…
I'm Baekho. That was my nickname.
Back Yi-hyun?
Your younger brother?
Yes.
Your height…
You…
grew up really well.
You said you'd wait for me.
Haven't you kept me waiting long enough?
I'm already 26.
My life is about to become fun.
What's your number?
Hey, wait.
You're supposed to be the next of kin in mourning now.
Attaque. Touche.
Hyeon-jeonng, your arm was a bit slow.
Good work.
Coach. Can you please be my partner for a practice match?
I have to win a medal in the match next week.
All right. Go put your gear on.
Thank you.
En garde.
Prêts? Allez.
Halte. Attaque. Touche.
Prêts? Allez.
Halte. Attaque. Touche. Point.
Parade. Riposte. Touche. Point.
Hey, what are you doing?
You're not using anything I've taught you.
You're not ready for a competition or a medal!
What is it that you know?
The only thing I know how to do is to love you.
Hey, you…
What is this? Where did you come from?
It doesn't matter where I came from.
What matters is where I will go.
Yu-rim.
No one else can make me happier
or sadder than you can.
Wherever it is, we'll go together
like we've been for the past ten years.
Will you marry me?
Congratulations!
Gosh, you startled me.
I love you.
The fencing finals will end soon.
If Na Hee-do wins gold,
we'll push aside other news and cover her first.
It'll be an exclusive interview.
Are the questions ready?
This is what we've come up with for now.
Let us know if you want to add anything.
Let's take out the fifth question.
She doesn't like questions about her personal life.
EXPERIENCE SAN FRANCISCO WITH UBS
When I was a reporter, I was in charge of covering her.
SAN FRANCISCO TASK FORCE
Na Hee-do has won the gold medal!
I'll keep my cool.
What do you think?
Well, my left side looks better on camera.
Is that so? You really are a star to know all that.
Someone told me.
All right. We'll be on standby in ten minutes.
I haven't been on live news for a while so I'm nervous.
We have won another gold medal in San Francisco.
Today, the "King of Fencing" Na Hee-do won her third gold medal for Korea.
We will connect live to San Francisco to speak with her.
Ms. Na Hee-do?
It's nice to see you.
Congratulations on winning the gold medal.
Thank you.
Have you been doing well too?
FAILED AT AN INTERVIEW TODAY DO NOT "DISTRUB"
Just as you rooted for me without reason,
it's my turn to root for you.
Wherever you are,
I'll make sure my support reaches you.
I'll take care of everything.
I've missed you.
But I saw you
because you showed yourself to me.
So, I got to smile today.
I'll show up before volume 15 comes out.
Wait for me, Hee-do.
Allez.
KO YU-RIM IS A TRAITOR
-Three! -Three!
-Two! -Two!
One!
Yes. I've been well.
2009 NATIONAL OPEN FENCING CHAMPIONSHIPS
That was your last bout before retirement. Tell us how you feel.
Well…
I thought I would get teary-eyed,
but that's not happening.
I have mixed feelings, but I feel relieved the most for now
since I won't have to train from tomorrow.
A lot of things have happened.
Fencing has made me cry a lot
and also laugh a lot.
Thank you all for rooting for me.
Throughout your career, what would be your most honorable moment?
I was most honored to be…
Ms. Ko Yu-rim's rival.
Me too.
Me too!
I feel the same, Hee-do.
Congratulations on your retirement.
You've done great.
Hey, you didn't tell me you were coming.
How could I not when my rival is retiring?
It was our time.
Right?
It was an honor, Hee-do.
MYEONGJIN USED BOOKSTORE
FENCING NATIONAL TEAM MEMBER NA HEE-DO RETIRES
Goodness.
Let's see what is in this box.
Sir.
Are you closing down?
Yes. Not many people are interested in books.
Goodbye.
Thank you. Bye.
Gosh.
I guess I've stayed in business long enough.
First I started a book rental store, and now a used bookstore.
Goodness, what is all this?
What is this?
"Na Hee-do"?
She's our regular customer.
Yi-jin. It's been ages since we last met.
I saw you on the news in New York. Did you come back?
Yes, sir.
But I'm leaving today. I'll be working in the US for some time.
I see.
That's good news, right?
Congratulations.
I need to ask you for a favor.
Can you give this to Hee-do when she's here?
NA HEE-DO
Oh, dear. That's right.
Goodness. I can't believe I still have it.
Can I ask what brings you here?
So you see, I'm the owner of that used bookstore.
Does Ms. Na Hee-do still live here?
She used to live here.
She's my mom. Can I ask why you're looking for her?
NA HEE-DO
I've kept this for too long.
Please give this to her.
Tell her I'm sorry for returning it so late.
No way! Her diary?
Oh my gosh!
Mom, I want to do ballet again.
Why all of a sudden?
I'm just bored now that I'm not doing it.
And I also want the experience.
I want to cry and laugh,
and be happy and disappointed because of ballet.
I'll give it a go.
I'll get going.
That's right.
Here. Some man wanted to give you this.
He said he was the owner of Myeongjin Book Rentals.
For your information, I wanted to take a peek but I didn't.
Now I'm going to write my own story.
An even better one.
How did this…
That's strange.
I also didn't mean to say those things.
Hee-do.
I'm sorry.
My old diary found its way back to me,
bringing back past regrets that I had forgotten about.
The moment of our break up haunted me and I had wished to have it altered.
I've kept you standing here for too long,
Yi-jin.
This is what I really wanted to say,
Yi-jin.
You…
comforted me just by being there.
I grew up alone
and I was lonely.
You held me in a warm embrace.
You helped me get back on my feet
during the hardest times of my life.
If it wasn't for you,
I wouldn't be where I'm now.
At times when I didn't believe in myself,
I believed in you who believed in me.
That made things possible.
You made me smile.
With you…
I felt like I was on top of the world even when I had nothing.
That's right.
At times…
the world seemed complete
because we were together.
Right.
I now know…
what perfect happiness is.
I learned what love is, thanks to you.
Now I know what a breakup is.
You will have no idea
how much your love has…
brightened up my life.
Thank you for everything.
Thank you.
I have loved you with all my heart.
Goodbye, Yi-jin.
Goodbye, Hee-do.
Today…
you should be the first to go.
Okay.
Back then, I believed I could have everything.
There were so many things I wanted to have.
I had thought love and friendship were mine to have for a brief moment.
What? It's my diary!
Hey, hurry up!
Let's go!
Looking back, every day was a practice.
The moments when I dared to say everything would last forever.
-I loved living in that illusion. -Come on!
Wait for me!
Right, there was still one thing that we could have.
We're going to the beach!
This is awesome!
I can see the ocean!
Look at the sea!
We're at the beach!
The summer belongs to us!
That summer
was ours to keep.
