THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION BASED ON
THE LIVES OF KIM U-JIN AND YUN SIM-DEOK

00:00:08,677 --> 00:00:10,846
SOME PARTS OF THE DRAMA
MAY BE DIFFERENT TO ACTUAL EVENTS

00:01:13,033 --> 00:01:16,829
CABIN NUMBER 3

8
00:02:06,461 --> 00:02:08,172
"I am terribly sorry,

9
00:02:08,881 --> 00:02:11,758
but please send my luggage back home."

10
00:03:12,110 --> 00:03:14,863
TOKYO, 1921

11
00:03:17,157 --> 00:03:19,159
<i>"Whether the world tortures you or not,</i>

12
00:03:19,785 --> 00:03:21,745
value your own selves

13
00:03:21,995 --> 00:03:23,705
and love the people.

14
00:03:24,373 --> 00:03:26,208
All humans are the same.

15
00:03:26,625 --> 00:03:28,794
We are all tortured by the same fate.

16
00:03:29,878 --> 00:03:31,213
We all are misfortunate."

17
00:03:37,219 --> 00:03:38,095
What do you think?

18
00:03:38,887 --> 00:03:42,099
Do you think we can use it
during our tour in Joseon?

19
00:03:42,808 --> 00:03:44,476
<i>"Kim Young-il's Death."</i>

20
00:03:49,106 --> 00:03:51,650
I plan to use this
for our first performance.

21
00:03:54,236 --> 00:03:55,237
We did it.

22
00:03:55,487 --> 00:03:56,905
-We did it!
-Yes, we made it!

23
00:03:59,116 --> 00:04:02,119
If others hear you, they might think
that our country has been liberated.

24
00:04:02,202 --> 00:04:04,246
Are you that exhilarated
that your piece will be used?

25
00:04:04,746 --> 00:04:08,041
It must be more meaningful
because U-jin acknowledged the piece.

26
00:04:08,709 --> 00:04:10,002
<i>KIM YOUNG-IL'S DEATH</i>

27
00:04:10,085 --> 00:04:12,129
With this, the three new pieces

28
00:04:12,212 --> 00:04:13,922
that we'll use for the tour
has been decided.

29
00:04:15,424 --> 00:04:18,427
I believe that this show will not only
help raise the fund for our association,

30
00:04:18,510 --> 00:04:21,305
but will also be of great help
in the development of Joseon's art.

31
00:04:22,139 --> 00:04:24,725
Furthermore, the presentation
of new plays and music

32
00:04:24,891 --> 00:04:26,268
will motivate the people of Joseon

33
00:04:26,351 --> 00:04:28,895
to feel a sense of pride
in their country's art.

34
00:04:29,521 --> 00:04:32,065
Art is great and so is the sense of pride,

35
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,152
but why does it have to be me?

36
00:04:37,821 --> 00:04:39,114
Then what can we do?

37
00:04:39,197 --> 00:04:41,158
You're the best at imitating women.

38
00:04:41,241 --> 00:04:42,200
Me?

39
00:04:42,909 --> 00:04:45,704
There's an actual woman
sitting right there, so why me?

40
00:04:45,787 --> 00:04:47,456
Didn't you see

41
00:04:47,539 --> 00:04:49,374
Gi-ju's acting earlier?

42
00:04:50,334 --> 00:04:52,252
I told you. I'm in charge
of playing the piano.

43
00:04:52,336 --> 00:04:56,048
Well, if you're really that unhappy,
there is someone else who can do it.

44
00:04:56,131 --> 00:04:58,008
Who? Who is it?

45
00:04:58,383 --> 00:04:59,760
Tell me. Who is it?

46
00:04:59,843 --> 00:05:01,303
Well... It's...

47
00:05:01,386 --> 00:05:02,679
Who is it?

48
00:05:34,294 --> 00:05:35,379
Hold on.

49
00:05:36,004 --> 00:05:37,839
Look at the score,

50
00:05:37,923 --> 00:05:40,133
and interpret the last measure's lyrics.

51
00:05:41,301 --> 00:05:44,346
I'm going to wait for him
with my unwavering trust.

52
00:05:44,429 --> 00:05:48,600
Exactly. This piece is about a woman

53
00:05:48,683 --> 00:05:50,852
who is yearning and waiting for her lover.

54
00:05:51,812 --> 00:05:53,939
She doesn't even know
when he will come back.

55
00:05:54,022 --> 00:05:56,483
So you shouldn't sing so cheerfully.

56
00:05:56,566 --> 00:05:58,360
Okay, I understand.

57
00:06:00,904 --> 00:06:01,738
Sim-deok.

58
00:06:03,281 --> 00:06:06,159
Have you ever yearned
for someone you loved?

59
00:06:07,577 --> 00:06:08,412
Not yet, ma'am.

60
00:06:11,498 --> 00:06:14,835
A song that doesn't carry
the singer's sincerity is fake.

61
00:06:15,836 --> 00:06:16,837
One day,

62
00:06:17,421 --> 00:06:20,340
I hope you will be able to

63
00:06:20,424 --> 00:06:22,342
really understand
the meaning of the lyrics.

64
00:06:24,553 --> 00:06:27,097
All right.
Since you do not know how it feels,

65
00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:29,641
try imagining the singer's feelings.
Let's try again.

66
00:06:30,642 --> 00:06:31,476
Yes, ma'am.

67
00:06:38,442 --> 00:06:39,526
Sim-deok.

68
00:06:49,286 --> 00:06:50,287
An association?

69
00:06:51,788 --> 00:06:55,542
It's an association created by students
from Joseon and self-supporting students.

70
00:06:55,625 --> 00:06:59,296
They have asked us to perform in Joseon
during this upcoming summer break.

71
00:06:59,379 --> 00:07:01,131
What's the purpose of that show?

72
00:07:01,506 --> 00:07:05,177
The association's purpose is to
gather enough money to build a hall.

73
00:07:05,260 --> 00:07:09,556
Our purpose is to promote these
new plays and Western music

74
00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:11,308
and enlighten our people.

75
00:07:12,934 --> 00:07:14,019
Isn't that...

76
00:07:14,853 --> 00:07:16,271
a bit dangerous?

77
00:07:17,272 --> 00:07:18,607
I'm not sure if I want to do that.

78
00:07:21,610 --> 00:07:23,361
For now, just come by.

79
00:07:23,612 --> 00:07:25,322
You can decide after watching.

80
00:07:31,536 --> 00:07:34,331
I'll just stop by then.

81
00:07:34,414 --> 00:07:35,749
Okay.

82
00:07:38,293 --> 00:07:39,961
8-4 TOTSUKA, SHINJUKU,
TOKYO

83
00:08:01,191 --> 00:08:02,567
"Watch.

84
00:08:03,610 --> 00:08:05,195
Watch how love takes from you.

85
00:08:07,405 --> 00:08:10,617
The moment you underestimate love
as nothing but a gentle strength,

86
00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:12,244
you have made a mistake.

87
00:08:13,787 --> 00:08:16,623
Love is something you use
to your advantage.

88
00:08:16,706 --> 00:08:20,043
To love is to take unsparingly."

89
00:08:21,545 --> 00:08:22,921
Takeo Arishima.

90
00:08:27,133 --> 00:08:28,510
I don't agree with him.

91
00:08:28,718 --> 00:08:31,304
How could taking unsparingly
be understood as love?

92
00:08:32,472 --> 00:08:34,975
It can't be helped when you are in love.

93
00:08:35,058 --> 00:08:38,770
True love means to give unsparingly
no matter what.

94
00:08:41,523 --> 00:08:43,984
Why are you reading a Japanese book
in Korean?

95
00:08:51,199 --> 00:08:54,870
I will answer once you explain
why you barged in unannounced.

96
00:08:55,954 --> 00:08:56,955
Well...

97
00:08:57,914 --> 00:08:59,791
The door was left ajar.

98
00:08:59,875 --> 00:09:00,959
I never left it open.

99
00:09:01,042 --> 00:09:02,919
Moreover,
I never gave you permission to enter.

100
00:09:03,003 --> 00:09:06,172
I am terribly sorry to have interrupted
your precious reading time.

101
00:09:07,007 --> 00:09:08,174
I'll leave then.

102
00:09:12,429 --> 00:09:13,388
You're here early.

103
00:09:13,471 --> 00:09:14,639
Did you

104
00:09:15,515 --> 00:09:17,017
introduce yourselves?

105
00:09:18,393 --> 00:09:20,186
Oh, I guess not.

106
00:09:20,687 --> 00:09:22,856
Her name is Yun Sim-deok.

107
00:09:22,939 --> 00:09:24,774
She is 25 years old.

108
00:09:24,858 --> 00:09:27,402
She's majoring in Vocal Music
at Ueno College of Music.

109
00:09:29,070 --> 00:09:31,364
And this is Kim U-Jin.

110
00:09:31,448 --> 00:09:34,910
He's 25 years old. He's majoring in
English Literature at Waseda University.

111
00:09:35,702 --> 00:09:38,246
Come to think of it, you're the same age.

112
00:09:47,464 --> 00:09:49,382
-It's nice to meet you.
-I beg to differ.

113
00:09:57,515 --> 00:10:00,810
I heard that you are talented in acting.
I also heard you've acted in a new play.

114
00:10:01,645 --> 00:10:04,522
That's why I'd like you
to perform with us.

115
00:10:04,606 --> 00:10:05,732
No, thank you.

116
00:10:06,775 --> 00:10:09,361
I don't have time for something like that.

117
00:10:09,653 --> 00:10:10,654
Bye.

118
00:10:11,446 --> 00:10:12,948
If you're are Korean,

119
00:10:13,031 --> 00:10:15,283
shouldn't you do anything and everything
for your country?

120
00:10:17,661 --> 00:10:19,621
That's exactly why I won't do it.

121
00:10:19,704 --> 00:10:21,081
What do you mean?

122
00:10:21,665 --> 00:10:24,376
I barely managed to come here to study
with the government's money.

123
00:10:24,459 --> 00:10:26,670
What if I fail to become a soprano
because of your show?

124
00:10:27,087 --> 00:10:28,797
Will you take responsibility?

125
00:10:29,381 --> 00:10:31,925
You're going to ignore your country
so you can live a good life?

126
00:10:32,008 --> 00:10:34,969
Our country's a mess right now
so I, at least, should live a good life.

127
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:39,683
Do as you please.

128
00:10:40,433 --> 00:10:43,603
After hearing about your major,
I didn't expect you to be good at acting.

129
00:10:44,771 --> 00:10:47,107
Anyway, have a great life.

130
00:10:49,984 --> 00:10:51,653
I'll do it.

131
00:10:54,739 --> 00:10:55,824
However,

132
00:10:56,783 --> 00:10:58,243
I have two conditions.

133
00:10:59,744 --> 00:11:02,956
She'll perform with us,
but she'll only sing?

134
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:06,543
And if she gets into danger midway,

135
00:11:06,626 --> 00:11:07,836
she'll quit immediately?

136
00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:09,379
These are her conditions?

137
00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:13,383
Do we really need to work with her if it
means we have to accept those conditions?

138
00:11:14,050 --> 00:11:16,803
I think if we add singing to the show
it will enrich it.

139
00:11:18,513 --> 00:11:21,474
Ms. Yun Sim-deok will be joining us
starting from the next rehearsal.

140
00:11:21,558 --> 00:11:24,269
What kind of person do you think she is?

141
00:11:25,854 --> 00:11:28,940
She's a good person.
She's outspoken as well.

142
00:11:31,568 --> 00:11:34,070
All right. Let's call it a day.

143
00:11:40,368 --> 00:11:41,453
TAKEO ARISHIMA

144
00:11:44,289 --> 00:11:45,790
What kind of person do I think she is?

145
00:11:48,293 --> 00:11:50,086
He's so unreasonable.

146
00:11:50,170 --> 00:11:52,797
Then why did you agree to perform

147
00:11:52,881 --> 00:11:54,591
with a guy like him?

148
00:11:54,674 --> 00:11:57,093
Didn't you say it could be dangerous?

149
00:11:57,177 --> 00:12:00,138
I wanted to see how good it is.

150
00:12:00,221 --> 00:12:02,682
-See how good what is?
-The new play he's preparing.

151
00:12:02,766 --> 00:12:05,894
I want to see how good it is

152
00:12:05,977 --> 00:12:07,687
for him to look down on me like that.

153
00:12:08,354 --> 00:12:09,689
And I'm going to show him

154
00:12:09,773 --> 00:12:11,608
how good I am at singing.

155
00:12:12,525 --> 00:12:13,568
Is that so?

156
00:12:22,660 --> 00:12:25,121
Excuse me, U-jin.

157
00:12:28,374 --> 00:12:29,709
Thank you.

158
00:12:29,793 --> 00:12:33,004
Your father sends letters to you

159
00:12:33,087 --> 00:12:34,672
every single day.

160
00:12:34,756 --> 00:12:36,174
How sweet of him.

161
00:12:42,055 --> 00:12:43,598
KIM U-JIN
SHINJUKU, TOKYO

162
00:13:01,491 --> 00:13:03,743
<i>Don't splurge, and use the money wisely.</i>

163
00:13:04,244 --> 00:13:06,287
<i>Don't read useless books</i>

164
00:13:06,371 --> 00:13:08,331
<i>and do not even put them on your desk.</i>

165
00:13:08,873 --> 00:13:11,417
<i>I allowed you to study English Literature
as you wished,</i>

166
00:13:11,709 --> 00:13:14,337
<i>so once you finish your studies
and return to Joseon,</i>

167
00:13:14,587 --> 00:13:17,173
<i>live the life I want you to live.</i>

168
00:13:17,799 --> 00:13:18,925
<i>I'll be in touch.</i>

169
00:15:36,688 --> 00:15:37,772
The collaboration with Gi-ju

170
00:15:37,855 --> 00:15:39,816
was fine but it sounded quite sad.

171
00:15:40,316 --> 00:15:42,819
I'd rather it be cheerful
since reality is quite depressing.

172
00:15:43,111 --> 00:15:45,238
Gi-ju, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

173
00:15:45,488 --> 00:15:46,906
You sounded amazing though.

174
00:15:46,990 --> 00:15:47,991
It's all right.

175
00:15:48,074 --> 00:15:49,158
And...

176
00:15:57,834 --> 00:15:59,877
The musical session is now over,

177
00:15:59,961 --> 00:16:01,504
so let's move on to the play.

178
00:16:01,587 --> 00:16:04,382
Kyosuke Tomoda
will be helping us with directing.

179
00:16:04,924 --> 00:16:07,135
I'm Kyosuke Tomoda.

180
00:16:07,343 --> 00:16:08,636
I hope we get along well.

181
00:16:19,605 --> 00:16:20,732
Heung-su.

182
00:16:20,815 --> 00:16:24,027
My fate lies in your hands.

183
00:16:24,110 --> 00:16:25,028
Hwa-bong!

184
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,281
Hold on.

185
00:16:28,573 --> 00:16:30,575
Is that the face of someone
who's hugging her lover?

186
00:16:31,868 --> 00:16:33,161
Stop.

187
00:16:33,703 --> 00:16:34,704
Hold on.

188
00:16:37,957 --> 00:16:38,791
I can't do this.

189
00:16:38,875 --> 00:16:40,710
Stop whining,
or I'll make you do worse things.

190
00:16:40,793 --> 00:16:43,921
Goodness me. U-jin, I'll do better!

191
00:16:44,130 --> 00:16:47,216
Heung-su, I promise to do better.

192
00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:48,968
I love you, Heung-su.

193
00:16:59,979 --> 00:17:02,857
All right then.
We'll wrap up today's practice.

194
00:17:03,775 --> 00:17:05,318
Gosh.

195
00:17:05,401 --> 00:17:07,528
-Good job, everyone.
-Good job.

196
00:17:10,239 --> 00:17:12,200
Sim-deok, would you like
to grab dinner with me?

197
00:17:12,283 --> 00:17:14,911
I'm sorry, but I have an axe to grind
with someone.

198
00:17:16,204 --> 00:17:17,163
What?

199
00:17:26,297 --> 00:17:27,548
I see he already left.

200
00:17:31,719 --> 00:17:32,720
Goodness.

201
00:17:47,443 --> 00:17:48,444
All right.

202
00:18:19,058 --> 00:18:20,435
A bowl of noodles, please.

203
00:18:21,394 --> 00:18:22,854
I never said I'd have that.

204
00:18:22,937 --> 00:18:24,105
It's for me.

205
00:18:25,857 --> 00:18:26,858
A bowl of noodles--

206
00:18:26,941 --> 00:18:28,401
Just kidding. It's for you.

207
00:18:33,865 --> 00:18:34,824
Thank you.

208
00:18:59,974 --> 00:19:00,808
Why...

209
00:19:01,517 --> 00:19:03,060
did you in such a hurry earlier?

210
00:19:03,644 --> 00:19:04,729
I was hungry.

211
00:19:05,938 --> 00:19:07,773
How did you know about this place?

212
00:19:08,608 --> 00:19:11,861
There is no Korean in Tokyo
who doesn't know about this place.

213
00:19:13,070 --> 00:19:14,071
That's true.

214
00:19:25,249 --> 00:19:26,501
Take your time then.

215
00:19:28,961 --> 00:19:31,214
Wait a second.
I have something to say to you!

216
00:19:51,651 --> 00:19:53,569
You'll empty the pot at this rate.

217
00:19:54,028 --> 00:19:55,238
What is that you wanted to say?

218
00:19:55,321 --> 00:19:56,906
How could you do this to me?

219
00:19:58,241 --> 00:20:00,660
From the first day we met,

220
00:20:01,118 --> 00:20:03,162
you've been belittling me.

221
00:20:03,371 --> 00:20:06,123
You think I am a pathetic girl
who doesn't care about her country.

222
00:20:06,207 --> 00:20:07,708
That's not true.

223
00:20:07,792 --> 00:20:08,960
A show in our home country?

224
00:20:09,544 --> 00:20:10,670
That's great,

225
00:20:11,462 --> 00:20:13,005
but what difference would it make?

226
00:20:13,673 --> 00:20:16,425
We've already lost our country,

227
00:20:16,509 --> 00:20:19,095
so what good would western music
and plays do?

228
00:20:20,096 --> 00:20:21,722
They have no power.

229
00:20:25,434 --> 00:20:26,894
You're right.

230
00:20:29,522 --> 00:20:30,690
However,

231
00:20:30,898 --> 00:20:34,360
I'm only trying to hold onto my country
in my own way.

232
00:20:34,986 --> 00:20:36,904
Our country is being trampled on,

233
00:20:37,113 --> 00:20:39,740
but I want to show that
our spirits are still alive

234
00:20:39,824 --> 00:20:42,034
in the form of a play.

235
00:20:45,621 --> 00:20:47,665
Isn't that also the reason

236
00:20:48,332 --> 00:20:49,166
why you sing?

237
00:20:53,045 --> 00:20:54,589
If you weren't belittling me,

238
00:20:54,672 --> 00:20:58,426
then why did you only comment on
other people's performances

239
00:20:58,509 --> 00:21:00,803
but not on mine? It was embarrassing.

240
00:21:00,886 --> 00:21:02,513
I just didn't have anything to say.

241
00:21:02,597 --> 00:21:03,681
What?

242
00:21:05,057 --> 00:21:07,393
I didn't need to comment on it

243
00:21:07,935 --> 00:21:09,645
because it was very beautiful.

244
00:21:13,608 --> 00:21:15,276
When we first met,

245
00:21:15,901 --> 00:21:18,529
you asked why I was reading
a Japanese book in Korean.

246
00:21:20,489 --> 00:21:24,118
Well, it's not to forget that I'm Korean.

247
00:21:28,998 --> 00:21:30,416
Anything else?

248
00:21:31,083 --> 00:21:32,877
Well, no...

249
00:21:35,838 --> 00:21:37,506
We should get going then.

250
00:21:51,562 --> 00:21:54,565
Why couldn't you have said that sooner?

251
00:21:54,815 --> 00:21:56,150
Kim U-jin...

252
00:22:05,284 --> 00:22:07,078
What about my family?

253
00:22:07,161 --> 00:22:10,581
-Look--
-My poor mother and sister...

254
00:22:10,664 --> 00:22:13,793
I'd like you to say that line
with a bit more despair.

255
00:22:14,460 --> 00:22:16,170
-It didn't sound sad...
-Sim-deok.

256
00:22:16,253 --> 00:22:17,880
Oh, yes.

257
00:22:17,963 --> 00:22:19,632
-Shall we begin?
-Sure.

258
00:22:22,259 --> 00:22:23,219
Hold on.

259
00:22:23,719 --> 00:22:25,846
The rehearsal must cost
quite a sum of money.

260
00:22:26,180 --> 00:22:27,932
How are you covering it?

261
00:22:28,015 --> 00:22:30,101
We're all pitching in to some level,

262
00:22:30,184 --> 00:22:32,895
but U-jin is taking care of most of it

263
00:22:32,978 --> 00:22:34,980
with the money he receives
for his own expenses.

264
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,529
I guess it's true what Nan-pa said.

265
00:22:42,530 --> 00:22:45,449
He said that U-jin's passion

266
00:22:45,658 --> 00:22:48,702
for writings and plays is boundless.

267
00:22:58,671 --> 00:23:03,175
I DIDN'T LIKE HIM,
BUT MY MEMORY OF HIM TORTURES ME...

268
00:24:22,213 --> 00:24:24,632
Gosh, I'm late because of the rain,

269
00:24:25,216 --> 00:24:26,550
but everyone's here already.

270
00:24:39,688 --> 00:24:41,440
Excuse me, Myeong-hui.

271
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,321
Is there something going on with U-jin?

272
00:24:48,614 --> 00:24:50,741
It's just that
he's been absent for two days.

273
00:24:50,950 --> 00:24:53,953
I'm worried about the show
since our director isn't here.

274
00:24:56,455 --> 00:24:57,998
There's no need for you to worry.

275
00:24:58,874 --> 00:25:02,086
He'll be back in a few days
once he shakes it off.

276
00:25:03,295 --> 00:25:04,463
Is U-jin...

277
00:25:05,923 --> 00:25:07,758
sick or something?

278
00:25:42,204 --> 00:25:44,498
This is Mr. Kim's room.

279
00:25:44,831 --> 00:25:46,083
Thank you.

280
00:27:10,125 --> 00:27:12,294
"As time goes by,

281
00:27:12,878 --> 00:27:16,465
tears stream down
because of the wound that can't be healed.

282
00:27:28,894 --> 00:27:31,438
Not being able to bear it, I cry.

283
00:27:31,855 --> 00:27:35,400
But why does it sit deep
as if there's a fire

284
00:27:35,484 --> 00:27:36,860
burning inside me?

285
00:27:38,779 --> 00:27:41,698
-If I were a child..."
-<i>If I were a child,</i>

286
00:27:42,657 --> 00:27:44,201
<i>and cried in pain,</i>

287
00:27:44,576 --> 00:27:46,578
<i>my mother would call for a physician.</i>

288
00:27:47,454 --> 00:27:49,331
<i>If I were a child,</i>

289
00:27:50,457 --> 00:27:54,086
<i>my mother would bring me cold water
for my burning heart.</i>

290
00:27:55,629 --> 00:27:57,422
<i>If I were a child</i>

291
00:27:58,423 --> 00:27:59,633
<i>and was sick,</i>

292
00:28:00,133 --> 00:28:02,386
<i>a good night's sleep would wash it away.</i>

293
00:28:06,431 --> 00:28:08,975
"However, since I am not a child,

294
00:28:09,559 --> 00:28:13,271
the wound keeps digging deeper inside.

295
00:28:14,314 --> 00:28:17,067
If only I were a child...

296
00:28:18,318 --> 00:28:19,361
By Soosan."

297
00:28:20,445 --> 00:28:21,488
Who's Soosan?

298
00:28:22,406 --> 00:28:23,907
What are you doing?

299
00:28:27,335 --> 00:28:29,463
EPISODE 2 WILL AIR SHORTLY

300
00:28:32,242 --> 00:28:34,077
Just so you know, I knocked.

301
00:28:34,369 --> 00:28:36,371
I didn't barge in or anything.

302
00:28:39,416 --> 00:28:42,252
Myeong-hui told me that you were sick.

303
00:28:43,294 --> 00:28:45,380
There's nothing worse than to fall sick

304
00:28:45,463 --> 00:28:46,923
when you're alone and away from home.

305
00:28:47,424 --> 00:28:50,093
I made some porridge for you.

306
00:28:50,427 --> 00:28:51,803
Back in Gyeongseong,

307
00:28:51,886 --> 00:28:54,347
I used to make it for my younger siblings,

308
00:28:54,431 --> 00:28:56,683
so my porridge is to die for...

309
00:28:59,644 --> 00:29:02,605
I see that you're not a fan of it.

310
00:29:03,481 --> 00:29:04,482
Still, you should eat up.

311
00:29:04,566 --> 00:29:06,818
We need you back at the studio.

312
00:29:14,117 --> 00:29:16,786
A writer should keep his books
on the desk,

313
00:29:16,870 --> 00:29:18,079
not on the floor.

314
00:29:19,539 --> 00:29:20,540
You should leave.

315
00:29:23,209 --> 00:29:24,419
I will when it stops raining.

316
00:29:24,502 --> 00:29:25,587
I didn't bring an umbrella.

317
00:29:25,670 --> 00:29:27,422
You walked all the way here
in the rain then?

318
00:29:28,006 --> 00:29:29,174
Well, you see...

319
00:29:30,258 --> 00:29:32,093
It didn't rain on my way here.

320
00:29:32,177 --> 00:29:33,428
I'll lend you mine.

321
00:29:34,054 --> 00:29:37,557
I actually don't like borrowing things
from others.

322
00:29:40,477 --> 00:29:41,728
It stopped raining.

323
00:29:41,811 --> 00:29:43,730
What? Already?

324
00:30:53,591 --> 00:30:56,386
Where did you go earlier?

325
00:30:58,721 --> 00:31:01,099
I just went out for some fresh air.

326
00:31:05,061 --> 00:31:05,937
U-jin.

327
00:31:10,692 --> 00:31:13,403
I thought it'd take a few more days.
Are you better?

328
00:31:13,987 --> 00:31:16,906
Yes, thanks to a special treat
from someone.

329
00:31:17,574 --> 00:31:18,616
Which was what exactly?

330
00:31:35,049 --> 00:31:36,509
I heard from Myeong-hui that

331
00:31:36,593 --> 00:31:39,929
you always fall sick for a few days
around this time of year.

332
00:31:41,514 --> 00:31:44,475
It's the anniversary of my mother's death,
so I take a few days off.

333
00:31:45,226 --> 00:31:48,188
I hate having to explain myself,
so I tell them I'm sick.

334
00:31:51,191 --> 00:31:53,151
After my mother died when I was five,

335
00:31:53,234 --> 00:31:54,986
my father remarried three times.

336
00:31:56,487 --> 00:31:58,031
Because I was so young,

337
00:31:58,114 --> 00:32:00,116
I barely have any memories of her,

338
00:32:01,326 --> 00:32:03,620
but I try to cling on
to what little I have.

339
00:32:03,786 --> 00:32:06,581
That's why I spend a few days
just thinking about her.

340
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,213
I'm only telling you this
because you think I'm sick,

341
00:32:13,296 --> 00:32:14,631
so don't take it seriously.

342
00:32:17,508 --> 00:32:19,802
To have someone long and yearn for you

343
00:32:19,886 --> 00:32:21,554
is a happy feeling.

344
00:32:21,804 --> 00:32:24,432
I'm sure your mother
will be very happy too.

345
00:32:27,852 --> 00:32:30,438
Also, that poem I read...

346
00:32:30,647 --> 00:32:31,856
It was incredible.

347
00:32:32,857 --> 00:32:34,025
I'd actually love

348
00:32:34,609 --> 00:32:37,237
to read more of your work.

349
00:32:37,820 --> 00:32:39,530
Do you write plays too?

350
00:32:40,907 --> 00:32:41,950
No, not yet.

351
00:32:42,033 --> 00:32:44,702
They try writing one.
I mean, you love plays.

352
00:32:49,082 --> 00:32:50,667
Why aren't you saying anything?

353
00:32:51,125 --> 00:32:52,585
Don't you want to write one?

354
00:33:00,551 --> 00:33:01,636
I do like them.

355
00:33:03,346 --> 00:33:04,222
Sorry?

356
00:33:05,682 --> 00:33:07,892
Plays, I mean. I like them.

357
00:33:08,476 --> 00:33:09,852
Yes, of course.

358
00:33:10,895 --> 00:33:13,356
I didn't realize we had walked this far.

359
00:33:13,856 --> 00:33:15,233
You should get going then.

360
00:33:16,025 --> 00:33:17,277
Thank you for earlier.

361
00:33:20,113 --> 00:33:21,572
For picking up my books.

362
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,535
Oh, that.

363
00:33:26,411 --> 00:33:28,246
How was the porridge though?

364
00:33:28,329 --> 00:33:29,914
I thought it was pretty good.

365
00:33:31,207 --> 00:33:32,041
I beg to differ.

366
00:33:33,918 --> 00:33:36,129
What? But I made it especially for you.

367
00:33:37,672 --> 00:33:39,424
I was only mimicking you.

368
00:33:39,757 --> 00:33:40,633
"I beg to differ."

369
00:33:54,188 --> 00:33:55,148
<i>Everyone,</i>

370
00:33:55,231 --> 00:33:56,983
you must help me.

371
00:33:57,233 --> 00:33:59,152
Tell us what this is about.

372
00:33:59,235 --> 00:34:01,904
My mother is in critical condition.

373
00:34:02,488 --> 00:34:04,699
-I just heard the news--
-Open up!

374
00:34:04,782 --> 00:34:05,783
Who is it?

375
00:34:06,367 --> 00:34:07,327
Open up!

376
00:34:07,952 --> 00:34:09,162
Open this door immediately!

377
00:34:10,580 --> 00:34:12,081
Open up!

378
00:34:12,165 --> 00:34:14,417
I was on a roll just now.

379
00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:15,543
Who is it?

380
00:34:16,794 --> 00:34:17,879
Open up!

381
00:34:20,381 --> 00:34:21,507
Move!

382
00:34:24,635 --> 00:34:25,970
What is the meaning of this?

383
00:34:26,054 --> 00:34:27,138
You're being disrespectful.

384
00:34:29,891 --> 00:34:31,142
Are you Korean?

385
00:34:33,394 --> 00:34:36,272
What brings you here, officers?

386
00:34:38,566 --> 00:34:40,818
You sound like a native.

387
00:34:41,778 --> 00:34:43,404
Are the others Korean?

388
00:34:43,488 --> 00:34:44,947
We're students

389
00:34:45,031 --> 00:34:48,743
rehearsing for a show
to put on stage, so--

390
00:34:48,826 --> 00:34:50,828
I asked if they were Korean,

391
00:34:50,912 --> 00:34:53,164
not what they're doing here.

392
00:34:53,831 --> 00:34:54,832
Well...

393
00:34:59,170 --> 00:35:00,421
Yes, we're Korean.

394
00:35:01,714 --> 00:35:03,424
Talk in our native language.

395
00:35:03,508 --> 00:35:05,134
I am doing so.

396
00:35:05,426 --> 00:35:06,636
Korean is my native language.

397
00:35:08,012 --> 00:35:10,515
You obnoxious Korean pig! How dare you!

398
00:35:27,573 --> 00:35:30,410
I clearly told you to speak our language.

399
00:35:38,793 --> 00:35:41,462
His Japanese isn't fluent enough yet, sir.

400
00:35:41,546 --> 00:35:44,424
If you tell me why you're here,

401
00:35:45,007 --> 00:35:46,342
I can explain it to him.

402
00:35:53,224 --> 00:35:54,600
These days,

403
00:35:55,268 --> 00:35:58,312
malcontent Koreans
and socialists with impure intentions

404
00:35:59,021 --> 00:36:02,775
meet up often to cook up ruses together.

405
00:36:02,859 --> 00:36:04,318
That's not what we're doing, sir.

406
00:36:04,402 --> 00:36:06,028
That is for us to decide.

407
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,281
You two.

408
00:36:09,490 --> 00:36:10,700
-Search this place.
-Yes, sir!

409
00:36:10,783 --> 00:36:11,826
Search over there!

410
00:36:23,212 --> 00:36:25,173
<i>KIM YOUNG-IL'S DEATH</i>

411
00:36:33,139 --> 00:36:35,850
That is a script
for a new play we're working on, sir.

412
00:37:01,584 --> 00:37:03,503
We didn't find anything suspicious, sir.

413
00:37:06,380 --> 00:37:07,590
Mark my words.

414
00:37:08,633 --> 00:37:11,093
If you cause any trouble,
you Joseon people

415
00:37:11,177 --> 00:37:15,515
will be brutally punished according
to the Public Order and Police Law.

416
00:37:17,475 --> 00:37:18,809
-Let's go!
-Yes, sir.

417
00:37:19,602 --> 00:37:20,603
Move!

418
00:37:38,246 --> 00:37:40,206
<i>Now that we've cleaned up the mess,</i>

419
00:37:40,706 --> 00:37:42,458
let's share our opinions.

420
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,086
Shall we continue
the rehearsal for our show?

421
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,130
Or should we stop here?

422
00:37:54,303 --> 00:37:57,598
I personally think
that we should stop here.

423
00:37:59,350 --> 00:38:00,560
I'm a little scared.

424
00:38:02,019 --> 00:38:04,855
The police won't barge in again
like they did today.

425
00:38:06,023 --> 00:38:08,609
Staging a new play
in our mother tongue in Joseon

426
00:38:08,734 --> 00:38:10,653
is certainly very meaningful.

427
00:38:10,736 --> 00:38:13,823
But if someone is put in danger again
because of that,

428
00:38:14,740 --> 00:38:16,826
-I'm against the plan.
-That won't happen again.

429
00:38:17,326 --> 00:38:19,787
The script has been censored,

430
00:38:19,870 --> 00:38:23,165
and the police know that we're not
deeply involved with the association.

431
00:38:23,249 --> 00:38:24,625
But the thing is,

432
00:38:25,918 --> 00:38:27,545
Hae-seong does have a point.

433
00:38:28,129 --> 00:38:31,173
We started planning the show
because of the association's suggestion,

434
00:38:31,257 --> 00:38:33,551
so we cannot deny
our connection with them altogether.

435
00:38:43,769 --> 00:38:45,730
Why are you all such cowards?

436
00:38:46,606 --> 00:38:48,316
We were all excited about being able

437
00:38:48,399 --> 00:38:50,776
to perform a show in our language
in our motherland.

438
00:38:51,277 --> 00:38:53,821
Isn't that why everyone has been
rehearsing so passionately?

439
00:38:58,492 --> 00:39:00,286
The director, U-jin, said it'll be fine,

440
00:39:00,369 --> 00:39:02,330
so nothing will happen.

441
00:39:02,580 --> 00:39:03,706
And on that note,

442
00:39:04,248 --> 00:39:05,875
let's all cheer up, okay?

443
00:39:11,464 --> 00:39:13,841
Why are you just sitting there?
Go change into your dress.

444
00:39:14,508 --> 00:39:15,384
Okay.

445
00:39:15,468 --> 00:39:16,302
What?

446
00:39:20,723 --> 00:39:22,391
I saw the heels over there.

447
00:39:22,475 --> 00:39:23,684
You have the score, right?

448
00:39:23,768 --> 00:39:25,561
Yes, it's on the piano.

449
00:39:26,354 --> 00:39:27,813
Let's go, everyone. We can do this!

450
00:39:28,356 --> 00:39:30,024
Let's start again from where we left off.

451
00:39:30,107 --> 00:39:31,400
All right.

452
00:39:33,694 --> 00:39:34,695
Gi-ju.

453
00:39:45,790 --> 00:39:49,001
At first, I thought you were reckless.

454
00:39:49,752 --> 00:39:52,963
I thought it was foolish
to rebel against something you can't win.

455
00:39:55,257 --> 00:39:57,635
But I don't think that way anymore.

456
00:39:58,803 --> 00:40:02,056
It's fine
even if we can't change anything.

457
00:40:02,723 --> 00:40:06,602
The fact that we're trying something
with hope is what matters.

458
00:40:11,857 --> 00:40:12,900
Thank you.

459
00:40:13,818 --> 00:40:15,403
For changing the way I think.

460
00:40:17,947 --> 00:40:19,073
I should thank you as well.

461
00:40:20,241 --> 00:40:21,951
For recognizing my sincerity.

462
00:40:29,917 --> 00:40:31,001
<i>Youth.</i>

463
00:40:31,961 --> 00:40:35,131
<i>Oh, youth does not wait for us.</i>

464
00:40:36,716 --> 00:40:38,759
<i>Coldy, like a flowing stream.</i>

465
00:40:39,218 --> 00:40:41,053
<i>Sadly, like a wilting flower.</i>

466
00:40:42,054 --> 00:40:43,723
<i>Our youth is fleeting.</i>

467
00:40:49,019 --> 00:40:50,187
My gosh! Oh, no.

468
00:40:50,771 --> 00:40:51,939
I am so sorry!

469
00:40:52,815 --> 00:40:54,066
Tomoda!

470
00:40:55,943 --> 00:40:58,446
-I'm sorry.
-Tomoda!

471
00:40:58,571 --> 00:41:00,239
-I'm sorry.
-Guys, look at him.

472
00:41:00,781 --> 00:41:02,283
Tomoda!

473
00:41:02,783 --> 00:41:04,326
Tomoda!

474
00:41:07,288 --> 00:41:08,914
Tomoda!

475
00:41:09,874 --> 00:41:11,459
Tomoda!

476
00:41:16,839 --> 00:41:18,132
You should wash this.

477
00:41:18,215 --> 00:41:19,216
-Really?
-Yes.

478
00:41:20,301 --> 00:41:24,305
<i>Oh, youth is just like a handful of sand
we encounter while riding</i>

479
00:41:24,388 --> 00:41:25,514
<i>the waves of life.</i>

480
00:41:25,598 --> 00:41:26,599
Here we go.

481
00:41:26,682 --> 00:41:29,518
<i>With all your might, hurl it at the tides.</i>

482
00:41:30,811 --> 00:41:32,021
<i>Make them snarl and howl.</i>

483
00:41:33,898 --> 00:41:36,650
All of you have worked very hard
for the past two months.

484
00:41:37,359 --> 00:41:39,069
We'll leave for Joseon tomorrow.

485
00:41:39,570 --> 00:41:41,447
Including our last show in Gyeongseong,

486
00:41:41,530 --> 00:41:44,492
we'll be performing in over ten cities.

487
00:41:44,575 --> 00:41:46,577
Just perform like you did
in the rehearsals,

488
00:41:46,660 --> 00:41:48,621
and I'm sure
that our show will be amazing.

489
00:41:49,330 --> 00:41:53,250
Tomoda, thanks for all of your help
and support for the past two months.

490
00:41:53,334 --> 00:41:54,502
Thanks a lot.

491
00:41:55,085 --> 00:41:55,920
No problem.

492
00:41:56,629 --> 00:41:58,005
Good luck, everyone.

493
00:41:58,380 --> 00:42:00,257
I'll be here looking after the stage.

494
00:42:00,341 --> 00:42:01,967
-Thank you.
-Good work.

495
00:42:02,259 --> 00:42:04,053
-Thank you so much.
-All right, guys.

496
00:42:04,762 --> 00:42:05,805
I'll see you all tomorrow.

497
00:42:07,598 --> 00:42:08,641
Aren't you guys leaving?

498
00:42:30,621 --> 00:42:32,665
This reminds me of the day
that I left Joseon.

499
00:42:33,666 --> 00:42:35,626
It was sunny like today.

500
00:42:39,672 --> 00:42:41,382
I was brimming with excitement,

501
00:42:41,465 --> 00:42:43,676
thinking that I can finally learn
vocal music and sing.

502
00:42:47,388 --> 00:42:49,765
And today,
I'm as excited as I was that day.

503
00:42:50,057 --> 00:42:52,184
I finally have a chance to sing
in my motherland.

504
00:43:20,337 --> 00:43:22,214
-Come to our show.
-Come watch our show.

505
00:43:22,298 --> 00:43:23,716
Please check out our show.

506
00:43:25,718 --> 00:43:26,635
Keep it up.

507
00:43:27,219 --> 00:43:28,637
Gosh, all right.

508
00:43:28,721 --> 00:43:30,472
-Please come and watch our show.
-Sure.

509
00:44:11,096 --> 00:44:13,015
Take that malcontent Korean
to the precinct now.

510
00:44:13,098 --> 00:44:14,099
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

511
00:44:18,604 --> 00:44:20,773
Ten years ago, we had freedom.

512
00:44:20,856 --> 00:44:22,524
But today on this land,

513
00:44:23,692 --> 00:44:24,693
freedom no longer exists.

514
00:44:25,903 --> 00:44:27,613
What are you waiting for?
Take him right now!

515
00:44:28,322 --> 00:44:29,823
Please forgive us just this once!

516
00:44:30,032 --> 00:44:31,325
Do not be servile.

517
00:44:31,950 --> 00:44:33,285
I will honorably let them take me.

518
00:44:34,244 --> 00:44:36,497
Yeong-il!

519
00:44:52,513 --> 00:44:53,764
Gosh, I'm so nervous.

520
00:44:56,100 --> 00:44:58,352
Just sing as you've been practicing.
Then it'll be great.

521
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,730
U-jin, could you stand here and watch me?

522
00:45:02,356 --> 00:45:04,233
I think it'll help me feel less nervous.

523
00:45:04,983 --> 00:45:05,859
I will.

524
00:47:25,999 --> 00:47:28,126
It seemed like the show
in Gyeongseong would never come,

525
00:47:28,293 --> 00:47:29,711
but the tour is already over.

526
00:47:30,379 --> 00:47:31,380
I know.

527
00:47:31,547 --> 00:47:33,507
How many years do you have left
until you graduate?

528
00:47:35,342 --> 00:47:36,969
I'll be graduating in three years.

529
00:47:37,553 --> 00:47:38,887
What will you do after graduation?

530
00:47:40,931 --> 00:47:41,932
Gosh.

531
00:47:42,891 --> 00:47:44,810
I shouldn't have asked you that question.

532
00:47:46,144 --> 00:47:49,022
I know that you have to go back
to your hometown.

533
00:47:52,192 --> 00:47:54,695
What about you, Myeong-hui?
What's your plan after graduation?

534
00:47:56,405 --> 00:47:59,074
I don't want to be in Joseon or Japan.

535
00:47:59,157 --> 00:48:00,909
I'd like to go somewhere far

536
00:48:01,076 --> 00:48:02,244
to experience a broader world.

537
00:48:04,037 --> 00:48:07,958
I'm sure you'll become a great writer,
no matter where you are.

538
00:48:08,041 --> 00:48:09,543
It'd be wonderful...

539
00:48:12,212 --> 00:48:13,547
if you could keep writing as well.

540
00:48:50,918 --> 00:48:52,085
The music is nice.

541
00:48:52,210 --> 00:48:54,212
Gi-ju, would you like to dance with me?

542
00:48:54,796 --> 00:48:55,923
Me?

543
00:48:56,548 --> 00:48:58,133
Sim-deok, I'll be back in a bit.

544
00:49:31,416 --> 00:49:32,626
May I have this dance?

545
00:49:33,335 --> 00:49:35,253
Well, I was...

546
00:49:35,337 --> 00:49:36,421
Let's dance.

547
00:49:50,227 --> 00:49:52,354
Now that the last show is over,

548
00:49:52,688 --> 00:49:53,772
you must be a bit sad.

549
00:49:57,150 --> 00:49:58,151
Yes.

550
00:49:59,277 --> 00:50:01,530
I think I'll miss every single moment

551
00:50:03,949 --> 00:50:05,325
that we spent together.

552
00:50:14,501 --> 00:50:16,253
What are you staring at?

553
00:50:18,130 --> 00:50:19,131
Nothing.

554
00:50:20,549 --> 00:50:22,884
Here, let me pour you a glass.

555
00:50:38,483 --> 00:50:40,444
Do you like U-jin?

556
00:50:40,527 --> 00:50:41,945
Or do you love him?

557
00:50:45,282 --> 00:50:47,159
Either way,

558
00:50:47,451 --> 00:50:48,410
you should stop here.

559
00:50:51,246 --> 00:50:52,247
Why...

560
00:50:53,165 --> 00:50:54,291
should I?

561
00:50:54,875 --> 00:50:56,376
Because your pain will become greater

562
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,420
as your feelings for him grow.

563
00:51:01,339 --> 00:51:02,549
You see,

564
00:51:03,175 --> 00:51:05,677
I have no idea
what you're talking about now.

565
00:51:14,436 --> 00:51:15,729
-Gosh!
-What's going on?

566
00:51:16,313 --> 00:51:17,981
-What's happening?
-Who are they?

567
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,529
Who is the leader of the troupe
that just finished their tour?

568
00:51:34,915 --> 00:51:37,125
That'd be me. What is the matter?

569
00:51:40,629 --> 00:51:41,713
Take him.

570
00:51:42,047 --> 00:51:42,881
Yes, sir.

571
00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:09,616
What happened?

572
00:52:10,117 --> 00:52:11,743
I don't think they'll let him go today.

573
00:52:12,744 --> 00:52:14,871
He probably won't be released
for a few days.

574
00:52:14,955 --> 00:52:17,290
The script was censored and approved.
What is the problem?

575
00:52:17,374 --> 00:52:19,584
I heard it's because of that line.

576
00:52:33,181 --> 00:52:36,143
<i>Ten years ago, we had freedom.</i>

577
00:52:37,102 --> 00:52:40,689
<i>But today on this land,
freedom no longer exists.</i>

578
00:52:41,314 --> 00:52:42,149
<i>But it's true.</i>

579
00:52:43,483 --> 00:52:45,777
We simply stated a fact. Is that a crime?

580
00:52:45,861 --> 00:52:48,071
Why does he have to get locked up?

581
00:52:49,030 --> 00:52:51,825
They want to set an example
to show what can happen

582
00:52:52,367 --> 00:52:54,286
when we talk about freedom in Joseon.

583
00:53:02,169 --> 00:53:04,796
I should head home now.

584
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:06,173
Oh, right.

585
00:53:07,382 --> 00:53:10,051
We should call it a night too.

586
00:53:28,695 --> 00:53:33,033
JONGNO POLICE STATION

587
00:55:30,233 --> 00:55:31,901
JONGNO POLICE STATION

588
00:56:38,134 --> 00:56:40,553
PASSIONATELY, I LISTENED TO
THE CURSES PUT ON MY FATE

589
00:56:40,637 --> 00:56:43,098
SHE WAS THE ONLY SAFE HAVEN
IN MY LIFE BESIEGED BY THE DEVIL

590
00:56:43,181 --> 00:56:46,059
FROM THE NOVEMBER 26, 1921,
ENTRY OF HIS JOURNAL, <i>TRACE OF HEART</i>

591
