Hi, my name is Jayo Kim Hi, my name is Jayo Kim
Introduce yourself to the class
My name is Jayo Kim Nice to meet you
Everybody quiet down!
Can a boy become a man only after he has sex?
I did in my senior year.
I'm not going to college, teacher.
Seuin Yi
It was the time I transferred back
to Hadong Town High School.
My first experience began with this change
Homeroom has ended!
I'm gonna get an eye surgery, a perm...
You don't need it.
It doesn't help You're so unfair
meanness
Are you nuts?
You think they'll like a fat ass like you?
Hey, Jayo Kim!
Give me a ride after school
She was strange from the beginning
I felt like I was caught in a web
I felt fidgety, like peeing in my pants
I can't see! Move your hands!
What did they say about me?
They call me a rebel?
I can't talk.
Dumb asses, they don't know anything
What are you doing? Take your hands off!
Do you know how to kiss?
Let's do it now
You're still a virgin, aren't you?
Yeah, I'm pure as snow!
All right? I told you to check everything
I said they're all here...
Hurry up
Give us the ball! Give it to us!
Here it comes
Give it to us!
Seuin, what are you doing? Hurry up
What's wrong with you boy?
Junghae Yoon
Teacher! Tell us about your first love
Since this is the first class,
I'll introduce a poem instead.
Afterwards, one of you have to respond with a poem, okay?
When I was twelve,
my best friend June
died before my eyes.
I fainted in front of him and I went into a coma all day
In the endless falling snow
even the mountain, the blue mountain never bothers the saying...
It's all right. It's all right
Now, who's going to respond with another poem?
Today's the 24th So how about number 24?
- Seuin, it's you - Go ahead Seuin
Let's See... Seuin.
Are you here?
So after that day, whenever I feel overwhelmed
I faint and fall asleep.
What's wrong?
Seuin!
What's wrong with him?
It's a long and deep sleep...
Jayo...
You look a lot like my dead friend June
Teacher!
You guys came at the right time.
Hello teacher!
Hello!
Is Seuin all right?
Hello...
Teacher, so what are you doing here?
I moved into Seuin's house today.
Since I'm a teacher, Seuin's father made an exception
What are you waiting for?
- Come in and help your teacher! - Yes, maam!
Thief!
You bastards!
Hey! Hey!
- Catch - picture... find picture
Hey! Just a moment
I saw you hide it!
Give it up!
Jayo, are you on Seuin's side?
Come here!
Hey, dummy You're really not going to college?
You guys go
When you graduate, I'll have my own plum farm by then?
I love Hadong the most.
I'm going far away from home
and fall in love with a hotty
Doesn't that sound great?
If I pass the college test...
Jungtae, take care of Hadong
I'll send you computer games
Me and Seuin are going to learn about computers
Love takes your breath away
I know it's a cliche.
But whenever I saw her, that's how I felt
Cause it was my first love...
Teacher Yoon! Teacher Yoon!
Give me some change.
I hate cheap stockings
I'll take these
Three Two One!
Wait a minute! Once more again
...I couldn't believe it.
He stunk in bed, and he was weird
He did push-ups before we did it
He called out
another woman's name too.
Isn't he crazy?
Jayo get out of here.
What the hell?
You're dead meat! I'm going to kill you with my bare hands!
Jayo, get out of here!
Young kids these days...!
Get out of my way!
Jayo! Get out of here!
Hurry! Hey, tardy girl! What's with the face?
You fight your husband Jayo?
What are you asking her for?
Hey, Jayo! Did you guys do the nasty?
- Keep drawing! - All right, damn it!
Hara. Do my eyes look all right?
- Isn't it nice? Huh? Huh? Huh? - Who wrote this?
It's Dalsun's name.
Dalsun
You wrote this, didn't you?
Stop it! Wonjae.
I'm sorry!
Let's go. I can't do it.
Is this really your first time?
Let's just go, okay?
Nervous?
I have to go
Where are you going?
Wait for me first
I'm leaving.
School is tough, isn't it?
But don't wear yourself out.
Your family is happy only when you're happy
Am I right?
I... Teacher, I love you
I said I love you.
Seuin, aren't you going to eat?
Where are you going?
I couldn't hold it in.
I couldn't...
Seuin...
Are you forgetting that I'm your teacher?
You're my student.
Let's forget about what just happened
Forget it?
Act like nothing happened?
I can't even breathe because of you...
I can't do anything because of you...
And you want me to forget?
I can't be patient any more.
I'm going to die if this goes on
Seuin.
At your age, love comes easily
Then how about this?
After you graduate, and become a grown-up
we can talk again then
Can you do that for me?
Just talk to her You can't always avoid her
Seuin!
I don't like the way you're acting
You bastard! You think you're better than me?
- Stop it - Screw you!
I said stop it!
I have to go to college My situation's different from your's
Now that you had me once, you're getting rid of me?
Is that it? Fine!
You bastard! You think you're everything?
Screw you and your ambitions!
Stick this up your ass!
You bastard!
You asshole!
Is it true that Hara cut her vein?
I heard it from Dalsun
Hara's a suicide case
She caused a big fuss before you came
Haven't you heard?
After her father married another woman
she wasn't the same
She often cut her vein herself.
Go inside
She locks herself in and doesn't say a word
I don't know anymore
She's an idiot...
Did she talk gibberish again?
She thinks she's some divorced heroine
My father, that bastard...
He fell in love with another woman
Can't blame him... Who could stand that pitiful woman forever?
They're all filth So are you Jayo
I'm sorry.
You think it's true?
If someone sleeps on lilies, they will die
Doesn't it sound like a fairy tale?
Jayo. Take me
Don't do this.
You bastard.
Who do you think you are? How could you do this?
Do you know my true feelings?
- I'm sorry - What makes you better?
You feel sorry?
Then let's do it now! Right now!
- I want it now! - Stop it!
- How could you do this? - Stop it
You don't care if I even die!
If you want to do it then find some other guy!
Crazy bitch
They're all filth...
Yeah...
It's nothing but a fairy tale.
After you drink this hot tea, you'll forget you're cold
Your mind's the same way.
As time passes,
it's going to settle down.
Just like the wind.
I'm moving soon.
And Seuin, you're going to college
Do you understand?
No.
- No... I can't - Seuin...
Our problem...
Was it all about sex?
Well...
Maybe or maybe not.
To find out the real answer, we've got to have sex constantly
Entering our twenties was not a easy step for us
The confusion... Was it really all about sex?
Two years later
Loosen up your rear end.
Why does it hurt so much?
Because it's an STD shot.
Several more shots will let you meet a girl again
Am I wrong?
How many times do I need it?
Well...
Until you regret what you did? Don't you think so?
Jayo Kim
Jayo Kim!
Yes!
Why do you keep laughing?
Am I not allowed to?
Then should I cry? If you want me to then maybe
Congratulations.
Now since you're cured, you can buy me a drink
Buy you a drink?
Why?
I'm talking about a date.
Didn't you get it?
Do you think it's possible?
A sex patient dating a Nightingale?
I'm not that type I'm very naughty
Don't I look that way?
Why are your eyes closed? Do you want me to leave?
I'm afraid you'll devour me.
Actually, I'm a little nervous.
This is my first time.
What? Is something bothering you?
Not really.
You know... I'm very nervous right now
Do men feel the same way?
I mean... physically.
Well, a little bit Can you lift your back?
If you don't attach meaning to it
sex can be wonderful
...without love and stuff Be a little more patient
Think of it
as making conversation
If you talk to yourself, it isn't fun Don't you think so?
I...
Once again, the girl wanted it first, right?
You could see it that way.
Since the 20th century ended, there's a new breed of girls
Is it some millenium phenomenon?
When the time comes, do girls want it like us?
They're more repressed and sensitive
So try it.
Was it good?
The first time wasn't so good.
But after getting some shut eye,
it felt all right.
You know what? I didn't think about Hara this time
I felt comfortable.
Maybe that's why I got really excited
and did it for a while
Animal
Anyway, it's nice to hear you didn't think of Hara this time
Good luck
Sex was the answer
Once a man and woman want each other they have sex
live together, and then it's a few kids
Not bad
You mean sex is all about breeding, right?
I like that. But it's more like...
...a sperm factory.
But you haven't done it since we've been in college. You still all right?
I'm doing it now
Crazy bastard!
I'm sick of it
I'm sick of everyone
I agree
Everybody looks like a horny dog
I agree!
Horny dogs!
- Hey, Wonjae! - Wonjae!
Your...
Wonjae!
Come here!
Why don't you guys date each other?
Then you won't need to waste your days drinking
And it's no use to save...
...your young and fresh bodies.
Jayo already has a girlfriend
But I'm... this
Cool man
Madam Werther seems interested in Seuin, huh?
You know... She's been in college for a while
I heard she screwed
all the young guys
Seuin is just her type
If you like her, you screw her.
I wish I could.
But I can't.
I have to go to military service.
What?
Damn! Is college the only way to go?
You know I failed last semester.
I'm gonna run away.
I'm going to the military I'm sick of it!
What should we do now?
Damn it!
What should I do?
Do what?
Eat, sleep, screw, and go to school
The same as always.
Should I go to the army like Wonjae?
Do you wanna die?
In the thick falling snow,
the baby quails come with the voice
It's all right. It's all right
It's all right.
In the endless snow,
even the mountain, the blue mountain never bothers the saying...
It's all right. It's all right...
It's all right.
Dear Teacher...
I still miss my friend June who died when we were kids
I realized being a grown-up is having your friends leave
and then being alone
Jayo is the only one left
Okay, for ten minutes.
Okay
Jayo is confused all the time.
Although, he always indulges in decadence he doesn't get close to others
I'm... still the same
Like you wanted, I'm trying hard to forget you
Until I can forget, I'll keep sending letters to you
But by the hundreth letter, maybe things will get better
Teacher, what's wrong?
Hey, Jayo!
If you wanna hear this song, then listen to this one first
In the beginning of his career, Don McLean entitled the song
Vincent' after Vincent Van Gogh Then Roberta Flack
heard it over the radio. It touched her soul so she made that other song
What's wrong?
I have class I've got to go now
Wait
When can we meet again?
See you later
Bad boy
Why were you absent?
Give me three good reasons From the psychological view
First, I was bored
Second, I wanted to have sex
Third, as much as I can
Okay?
What about Madam Werther?
From the psychological view.
That's very logical and reasonable.
And also practical.
Excuse me!
What?
Do you mind taking my virginity?
Seuin...
Should I get angry?
Or slap him on the cheek?
But what should I do? I don't feel angry
Open the door Open it...!
Who let Jeannie out of her lamp?
Kiss me...
So then?
How many times did you do it with her?
That girl from your high school
Did you do it like this? How was it?
Was it good?
It was okay...
Thief!
Then why did you break up with her?
She's dead.
Dead? How come?
Take off your shirt first
I can't wait.
I'll do it.
Don't rush!
I can't help it.
No, not there.
You're not leaving?
I'm off duty today.
Why don't you ask anything about me?
You're not curious?
No
Well, I am
Like your dreams and thoughts during high school
Well, except for that girl
I know!
It's cause you forget my number, right?
Bad boy
Did it hurt your pride?
Wanna do it again?
Is it all right having sex with me?
I choose the guy myself.
Men don't control me.
So that's why you named your cafe Werther?
Goethe's probably jealous.
Because Werther is dead, and so is Goethe
But... we're still alive
It's all right... It's all right...
Are you all right?
I think so
Seuin! Seuin!
Seuin...
Falling plum blossoms in the wind
the full moon at early night
the barley field turning yellow...
She loved these things.
I suddenly thought about her
while having sex
I was thinking of her
I feel like
I'm flying through air and looking down on the world
Dear Teacher,
As if I'm even looking down on myself.
I feel lost
I can't move a step forward.
I agree
Since Jayo is lost too, it makes matters worse
Wanna jump?
Why not?
Hey Seuin!
Hey Jayo!
How far do we have to go
till Jayo and I find our way?
I want to know.
And most of all... I miss you
What do you think? Don't you wanna see her?
Seuin's in love with another woman
Really?
But why don't you ever talk about her?
Is it some tragic love of some kind?
It would be fun if we could double date
When we're drunk, we could change partners
You're nasty
Seuin, he's beyond remedy.
All he does is sleep and have sex
Jayo's got a straw for sucking human blood
Long ago, a girl was sucked by his straw and vanished
I know that story.
So don't fall in love If you don't then you won't get hurt, right?
I agree!
I'm not I'll fall in love, but I'll never get hurt
I can do it.
Did Jayo say that he loves you?
Didn't he say that love is love, and sex is sex?
Tell me three of your emotional states from the psychological view
First, I'm horny
Second, horny beyond remedy
Third, everlastingly horny beyond remedy
I don't love this guy yet.
You're dirty Nothing but a walking disease
You gonna keep avoiding the madam?
Sex... It's compliated
Whenever I do it with her, I keep seeing Junghae's face
It's beyond remedy
And you?
Are you getting serious with Namok?
I don't know
She's comfortable to be with, but it's sometimes hard
Yeah...
sex...
It's complicated.
Son of a bitch!
Let go of me! Stop it!
What's wrong with you?
Let go of me! Get off!
Pull yourself together!
Did you know?
A person can't posess another.
I know it well!
Yeah! I know it well!
Take me! Take all of me!
Take me!
It's me, Jayo.
Can I come over?
I don't wanna sleep alone.
Seuin... he disappeared
Your lunch set is ready. Thank you
I did you a favor, and fries is how you repay me?
What else do you want?
Is Seuin back?
- The biscuits are ready - Okay!
Here's your double set, sir.
Hey,
why do you have to make money?
I told you I'm on my own.
Seuin used to helped me out.
I can do the same
Aren't you going home?
You're upset, aren't you?
When you get angry, it reminds me of my dead father
Is that why you slept with me? Cause I look like your father?
Maybe
I orignally wanted to work in pediatrics and treat cute kids
But I got stuck in urology.
Having to stick shots in guys' butts
It's unfair.
Know what?
Would you believe that I saw a lot of guys' things?
You must have loved it.
Do you masturbate like other guys?
Doesn't everybody?
After you met me too?
- Two cokes, please - Yes mam!
Yeah, maybe
Like it? Don't you feel like loving me more and more?
It's a present
It hurts
Are you also hurt by your past love like Seuin?
Are you?
That's why you're not interested in me?
Of course not. I'm doing it with you now
That's what I mean.
Can't you do more than this?
I've never thought about it.
Don't press down. It hurts.
You've never thought about it?
Don't use this today.
Give it to me.
- No - Come on
No. Just do without it
I can bear three sons who look like you
You're crazy
But I won't tell them who their father is
Not a bad deal
I forgot today's my mom's birthday
Did I tell you my mom and I live apart?
Namok!
Yeah, go ahead.
Do you wanna stop meeting?
I'd like to How about you?
I'm really late Bye
- Why - You guys go first
Bye
Seuin
How... have you been?
Are you all right now?
I can't deal with it.
I can't anymore.
I can't stand it.
I can't do anything without thinking about you
I've been floating like a ghost
When I think about you I can't even breathe
I can't stand it any longer
Don't write to me any more
You're still too young
Go back and start over again.
What sidedish do you want? You're not drinking?
Anything you can cook quickly
If you want more, cook it yourself
You're not leaving?
Shit! How can I leave my drink here?
You wanted to come here?
Well, I don't understand
why you have to drink
Sometimes I don't feel like doing anything
Not going to work, forgetting everything
and have sex all the time
Don't you think it's wonderful?
Doesn't sound bad
Do whatever you fuckin want!
Get out of here!
Let go of me!
Get out of here!
- Get out! - Let go of me!
Do whatever!
Get out of here!
Get out!
That woman is my mom.
You said you wanted to break up?
If that's what you want, then go ahead
There's nothing I can do.
I'll be all right.
Were you okay?
You bastard!
Pick one of the three reasons why you came back
First, because you had nowhere to go
Second, for no special reason.
Third... Because you missed me.
It's probably... for no special reason
How about a drink?
- Now? - Right now. This instant
That way we have more time to drink
You're crazy. But it doesn't sound bad
Are you all right?
I'm all right. How about you?
Yeah... I'm all right.
Wanna run?
Yeah!
You're not running?
It's all right!
Happy birthday to you!
Wait a minute!
Why aren't you tough like a man?
A man should down the first shot, right?
Asshole. I'm closed today
Why are you so upset? I've got some money today
Close the door!
I've done nothing for Namok.
She supported herself and became a nurse
All I've done is fed her
and gave her a place
Was it a month ago?
She left here to be on her own.
Then she came back again.
You slept with her, didn't you?
Well, I...
You're not just using her, right?
If that's all, then take your hands off
That's what a man should do
You've misunderstood...
Okay then. You can go now.
Someone who gets hurt, always hurts another
What are you waiting for? Didn't I tell you to go?
She's drunk out of her mind.
Women sure know how to drink if they want to
From the psychological view,
I think we're all garbage.
You're at it again.
She got into grad school.
Had to congratulate her.
Now it's all right.
Everything's all right.
The hardest thing to deal with was fighting myself
I wanna get this fight over with.
Even though I quit, I hope you keep fighting till the end
Cause Jayo... you're my alter ego and my hope
Junghae Yoon
Bastard! Coward!
You're only a walking sex disease...
You thought I couldn't wait?
Of course I can wait for you
You're nothing, but a coward who can't love
Bad boy...
Where are you?
I came to your place to start things over
I told you, right? I don't wanna get hurt.
I'm not stepping outside until you come back not one step
From now on think about how you'll live
Forget everything and live, okay?
The confusion we went through at the threshold of our twenties
It wasn't all about sex.
Okay... I have to stop Now it's time to open my mind
Jayo? It's Jayo, right?
Jayo
Jayo!
Namok!
I miss you.
Namok!
Namok, I...
I'm coming to you...
Namok, I'm coming back right now
