"If we go a little deeper, it shows the rise of Chunhyang's status" "She comes from a courtesan's background But she has a plan to raise... her social status by becoming the wife of a man of status" "She survives the harsh oppression and persecution" "It's much the same as women today who strive to marry into higher social status" " That's not bad" " What about Jae-Sup?" " Just take his dues" " But what about him?" "You're coming too, right?" "Jae-Sup!" "Do you have time tonight?" "It's my birthday." "Let's go out" "Oh, really?" "Tonight is kind of tough..." "Why?"

"It means that even chaos has a pattern when looked at properly" "Is that all?" "Girls..." "Great language tends to be short" "Ask the science teacher for more" "Teacher, look at this" "Who did that?" "What are you tough?" "Who'd you punch?" "I try to keep to myself but the other kids won't leave me alone" " We have a vocabulary quiz today" " Please, no!" "Quiet!" "There are other teachers here" "You sound like a bunch of elephants" "I have elephant legs too You have a problem with that?" "There's more to life than studies" "Your strong legs won't get you through life, either" "That's enough Go study your vocabulary" "Teacher, take us to a movie when we're done with the tests" "What fun would a date with a bunch of little kids be?" "Little kids?" "Things that are supposed to stick out do" "Yeah, but you guys have things sticking out that shouldn't be" "No way!" "Okay, folks!" "Pay attention" "We have a new student here" "Her name is Kim So-Hee" "You teachers make sure you take good care of her" "What are you doing here?" "We had a question for the teacher" "Teacher, don't you need to introduce the new student?" "Ask her name later She's in the same grade as you" "So what page were we on?" "What's up with that?" "Are you her mouthpiece?" "Yeah, do you even go to the bathroom with her?" "Enough with the stupid jokes" "If you're interested talk to her during the break" "Only brave can get the Beauty" "Last time we were talking about Chunhyang, right?" "Literature is boring" "Don't feel bad All classes are boring" "Life is more boring" "You guys are what's boring" "Nothing's changed since I was in school" "Well, besides the internet..." "Time has changed, you punks to change too" "Any change?" "Yeah... whatever" "Sorry... again!" "Did you hear we're all having dinner tonight?" "We are?" "Can you make it this time?" "I'm afraid not" "Why?" "Now what do you have going on?" "I've got a previous engagement" "Postpone it and come with us" "You haven't been out with us once" "I know." "I'll have to go sometime" "What do you have tonight?" "A friend is getting married." "I've got to go to the bachelor's party" "It's Yoon-Soo again Hye-Kyung's getting married next Sunday" "She said she'd like to get together before then." "She's buying." "Her fiancé?" "Seems to be loaded" "Have you decided to become a hermit?" "You dumb ass!" "If you're never going to call back why are you keeping that pager?" "We're gonna have to do something about your image" "Please call me back" "Welcome!" "Give us an grilled eel and..." "fry this up, please" " Somebody's having a bachelor's party?" " Yep!" "Your frugalness tugs at my heartstrings" "Marriage is a whole different dimension than bachelorhood" "Our next stop will be somewhere nice" " Is the bride pretty?" " Well, no comment" "See you later!" "What's your name?" "Why?" "Just wondering" "Why don't you give me one?" "How about Hye-Kyung?" "Hye-Kyung?" "I think it seems to fit you" "Whatever..." "names must be important to you" "What is important then?" "It's like in Romeo and Juliet" "That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet" "Why do we have to live down the line?" "Can't we skip around?" "What do you mean?" "Maybe live for one year then die for another year" "Wouldn't life be fun then?" "It might be" "Or switch lives with someone else for a year" "You could live my life and I could live yours" "Our lives are basically the same anyway" "If we could switch, we'd probably live our own lives to the full, but let the other person's life go to the dogs" "I'd like to live somebody else's life, but I don't think they'd want to live mine" "You're pretty twisted Just take it as it comes!" "Yeah, well..." "My father-in-law went crazy for stocks... and lost 20 acres of our land He still hasn't come to his senses" "If you think about it, those that have it always get it, and no matter what, those that don't, won't" "Truth be said, Hye-Kyung's always been lucky" "In college she had the best dating life, now she's marrying some rich guy" "Okay, let's drink up!" "She won't even let us talk behind her back" "Would you?" "I think Jae-Sup's the one we haven't seen for the longest" "He's becoming a hermit" "What have you been up to?" "Just..." "living and breathing" "Come on, Life should be more than that" "You're coming to the wedding, aren't you?" "Why are you only interested in Jae-Sup?" " It's just that it's been so long" " It's been a long time for us too" "It's the first we've seen Jae-Sup since graduation" "Really?" "What's kept you so busy that you can't get together with us?" "What's with all the shots at me?" "We're not taking shots You're one of the group" "It's one for all and all for one here." " Have to have a house warming party" " Understood" "Jae-Sup, are you still writing?" " Well..." " You used to write well" "He did write well" "Hey, say something" "We haven't seen you for so long and you just sit there like a bump on a log" "I'm just enjoying your conversation" "Did you know..." "That I had a complex about you?" "No matter the question you would think so clearly and always have the answers" "When drunk, You'd go on and on about history, philosophy and so on" "And now look at you" "Mr. Know-everything, you think you're something special?" "Hey, stop it" "We're here to celebrate with Hye-Kyung" "Enough, let's just drink Bottom up!" "Son of a bitch!" "What do you want me to say?" "I came here to talk and laugh with you guys too" "But all I hear is this about stocks... and what a good husband makes" "I have nothing to say about those things" "And what complex?" "Are you serious?" "I have a complex about you How about that?" "I'm sorry Hye-Kyung" "The asshole keeps talking out of his ass" "I thought he'd grow up but I guess not" "Should we go for a nightcap?" "No, go ahead" " I want to walk for a while" " You want me to walk with you?" "No, I don't need a date with you" "You'll be there next week?" " I'm not going again" " Just let it go" "If I said I was jealous of you you'd probably call me an asshole" "Your relations with people are just superficial" "You don't have any expectation from people" "Is your life hard?" "You're the only one I can talk to" "I'm just the only one you can sleep with, right?" "What's your name?" "Why don't you give me one?" "I'll just call you honey" " Why, can't you think of a name?" " Nothing fits" "Nothing fits?" "That's about right I might not even be qualified to be alive" "For hell's sake" "Where are you going?" "So, you take the green line too?" " Where do you live?" " In Chayang-dong" "Really?" "That's where I live" "I wonder why I haven't ran into you before" "I don't know" "You don't seem too pleased to see me?" "Excuse me?" "No, I'm glad I ran into you" "Do you know my name?" " You don't know my name either" " It's So-Hee" " So-Hee?" "Aren't you going to tell me yours?" "Is there any reason you need to know?" "You can call me teacher if you want..." "Or call me Lit teacher" " But..." " Why?" "Just wondering Your name probably doesn't fit you anyway" "It's Kim Jae-Sup" "You're a part time teacher, right?" "How do you know?" "I haven't been to night school and I don't think you noticed I wasn't there" "What?" "Aren't you going to eat?" "You go ahead and eat" "So, what's wrong?" "Don't tell me a diet" "Think what you want" "You're trying to be funny?" "You don't need to lose your weight" "Then, I'll have half of yours" "I'm the one who needs to diet, not you." "That's up to me" "Mi-Jung, you're fine as you are" "Whatever, skinny bitches are even worse" " Mi-Jung" " What?" "You know why nothing works out for you?" " What doesn't work out?" " Everything" "You do everything by the seat of your pants" "You're hot then you're cold" "You're too traditional" " What do you mean?" " You're too old fashioned" " Have you attended a night school before?" " Yes" " For how long?" " Six months" "Why do you want to change night schools?" "The teachers weren't any good" "Oh, really?" "I heard the teachers here are really good" "Uh, that's right" "We just don't hire anybody" "We're very particular about who we have work here" "If somebody doesn't have great skills they won't work here" "What about your parents?" "They go along with whatever I decide" "Teacher, what's Kwandong?" "It's the area around Kangwon province" "Hey, what's up with you?" "You never ask questions" "Sometimes I surprise myself" "So, what do you think the point of The Story of Kwan Dong is?" " The point is..." " What?" " Love" " What kind of love?" "The kind you feel when you're sorry because you've gone to... such a beautiful place and you left the woman you love behind" "I'm not sure that's quite it Anybody else, in one word" "It's beauty" "Didn't I tell you not to speak in class?" "So, what do you think it is?" "Isn't it loyalty?" "Like devotion to a King?" "Hello?" "It's me, Mi-Jung" "You don't look so good today" "It's not good to drink when you're feeling down" "You know..." "I changed night schools" "You did?" "Why?" "Did somebody say something?" "I don't know why people stick their noses in other's business" "Are you in a hurry?" "We're having a memorial at my house tonight" "I said I had something to do and slipped out" "Why do you do that?" "Memorials?" "We want to I guess" "It shows respect to those we love" "We've been together for 50 days because we love each other" "You need money?" "Money's not why I wanted to meet you today" "Really?" "Then I'm really sorry" "How about getting together the day after?" "I've got the day off" "Just skip night school that day Let's go see a movie" " A movie?" " Yeah" "Take this" "I'm hungry." "Let's get some noodles" " Then, I blow my efforts on diet" " You can lose it again" "Should we?" "Got any money?" "Don't worry about it I said I was buying" "Do you think people would laugh if I died from dieting?" "They'd put that all over the internet" "People would probably get a kick out of it" "I guess I'll just wander through life" "People don't have enough guts to die so they just wander through life" "Like you" "Like me" " Yoon-Jung!" " Now what?" "If the gym teacher asks about me, tell him I'm on my period" " He likes that" " All right!" " Why not?" " I'm on my period." "Good excuse." "You have a period whenever it's convenient for you." "You don't do anything for me." "And you?" "I came here to eat pizza." "That was for you." "And when you're feeling blue I take you to see a movie like today." " Even at my age." " I hate action movies." "Do you have any interest in me at all?" "If you need me then I'm there but if I need you." "Do you even love me?" "I love you." "It's been a long time since I've felt that." "People look down at us, thinking we're just trading sex for money." "They don't realize that we have love here." "And I love you." "I love you for more than just your body." " Hey, you know what?" " What?" "You babble a lot when you want me." "Love takes a lot of explanation." "Don't you know that?" "You know that I risk so much to be with you." "That's not easy for me." "Others may poke fun but that is love's energy." "Nothing can hold that back." "Mi-Jung, Mi-Jung!" "I told you, if you keep this up I'm not going to see you again." "I told you..." "I'm having a terrible day." "I want to be with you." "The only reason you want to be with me is for my body." "I'm having a major problem here, just once can't you do what I want?" "If I just wanted your body I could go buy that anywhere." "Well, maybe you should." "That's not what I want." "If you absolutely can't, then just lie next to me." "Where are you going?" "So, you take the green line too?" " Where do you live?" " In Chayang-dong." "Really?" "That's where I live." "I wonder why I haven't ran into you before." "I don't know." "You don't seem too pleased to see me?" "Excuse me?" "I'm glad I ran into you." "When you're feeling down, would you like to go to a movie with me?" "You know when you have some time, don't you?" "Who's that?" " Whatever!" " Is that your teacher?" "It's somebody I like." "What?" "!" "You're lying, aren't you?" "Why would I lie about something like that?" "You're lying, aren't you?" "How could you do this to me?" "Let's not see each other anymore." "Jae-Sup Did the principal talk to you?" "About what?" "He said the Tuesday, Thursday teacher's quitting." "He didn't say anything to me." "Do you want his classes?" "I haven't thought about it." "What are you doing here?" "I have something to ask the teacher." "What is it?" "Do you know my name?" "It's So-Hee." "You do know." "That's what you came to ask?" "No!" "I don't even know if I can ask you for a favor... but I wrote a paper and was wondering... if you could look at it for me?" "Oh, yeah?" "Could you do that for me?" "Sure, why not?" "Can you check what's wrong too?" " When do you need it by?" " Whenever you're done." "Are you leaving right after class?" "Do you have some feelings for your teacher there?" "I've got more than just feelings." "Did it make sense?" "Yeah, you did well." "I did add a few things here and there." "Take a look at it." "If you don't like them, forget about it." "Is that the way you always are with people?" ""If you don't like it, forget about it." That's pretty confident." "Isn't that a lack of confidence?" "Isn't that confidence... when you don't care what others think?" "Yeah?" "Well..." "I was just telling it how it is." "That's not how it is." "That's being cold." "Right?" "It's really raining." "A little rain never hurt, let's go." "Hang on a second." "What are you doing?" "I told you to wait." "I wanted to feel the rain." "Where do you live?" "I'll walk you home." "How about buying me a beer on the way." "Whiskey would be fine too." "Do you always bring a change of clothes?" "Have you seen the movie, Chungking Express?" "Chungking Express?" "The title sounds familiar." "There's a line where Brigitte Lin says." "Because I never know if it's going to rain or shine..." "I should wear sunglasses and a raincoat." "I don't know when I'll want to change what I'm doing either." "Are you ever like that?" "Wow, awesome!" "I thought you were a good kid." "I didn't know you had this side to you." "Actually I don't have a lot of interest in being nice." "I just don't want to stand out." "That's why I try to be a nice girl." "If I get good grades, nobody bothers me." "Bad student wouldn't want to hear that." "You don't seem to hang out much with the other teachers." "Me?" "You think so?" "The kids say they leave you out." "Really?" "I don't know." "Those kind of people don't know if they're being left out." "I don't like hanging out with the other kids either." "What do you want to be?" "You know what kind of stupid question that is?" "What?" "Did I say something wrong?" "I feel like I'm at school with the guidance counselor." "Jeez!" "What's wrong with asking that?" "What are you going to do in the future?" "Okay, let's forget that one." "What do you do in your free time?" "Jeez!" "I'll let you off this time." "If I had some free time..." "I'd like to go for a drive." "I could go anywhere anytime I wanted." "That'd be nice, wouldn't it?" "Do you like cars?" "All women like cars." "Do you have a car?" "I don't even have a license." "Really?" "You really don't have a license?" "I don't know." "It varies." "What's the average?" "Just something that will get me around when I want to go." "Depends on the car and insurance." " Not using it everyday." " Yeah, I know." "If you go anywhere anytime!" "Maybe $200 a month." "Good-bye." "Yeah, what do you need?" "I needed to talk to you." "You're not going to tell me you're quitting too?" "What?" "The other grammar teacher said he's quitting." "Well, that is what I wanted to talk about." "What?" "Are you going to get another part time teacher?" "I guess so." "We put out an ad." "How about if I pick up those hours?" "You didn't want to when I asked you before." " Buy us something to eat." " Next time." " When is next time?" " Next time is next time." "Are you hungry?" "I'll buy you something." "This place has the best snacks in the whole country." "Two please." "I was wondering but I see you really are a student." "I'll buy you something tomorrow." "Dinner?" "No thank you." "Why not?" "I'm on a diet." "You're just fine." "Nope, I can't let my guard down." "That's not the way it works." "Teacher How many people call you per day?" "How many pages you get a day?" "Week." " Teacher!" " What?" "What do you think truth is?" "That's a loaded question." "I don't know." " I'm disappointed." " What do you think it is?" "Lies." "People lie all the time in everyday life." "I do too." "I don't think that's so bad." "You lie when it's better for somebody else." "You lie when you don't want to expose yourself." "You lie to get out of sticky situations." "But could they be good excuses for lies?" "No..." "The only reason we think it's bad is because we've been taught that." "Sometimes we need to lie to keep from hurting... someone's feelings." "You need to gain some weight." "You're too skinny." "You think?" "Skinny people look like... they have the weight of the world on their shoulders." "They don't even know what they live for." "Then what do you live for?" "Just in case something fun comes up." "Just wait and something interesting might come up." "Something interesting?" "Like somebody I know suddenly gets shot and dies." "Something I'm longing for comes..." "something that gives me courage." " Teacher?" " Yes?" " Can I ask one more thing?" " What is it?" " Can I ask you one more favor?" " What is it?" "I think you are so friendly with the other girls at night school." "I really don't like it." "Hi!" "How far have you got?" "I'm just starting." "You're young." "You'll have your license in no time." "Pass the written then call me for the driving." "Don't play around, just pass it." "Other places will promise you 2 hours and only give you one." "We don't do that." " How much per hour?" " $20." "We're all the same." "I don't have to take all 10 hours, ain't I?" "No." "You're young." "You should pass in 5 hours." "We'll take care of you" "Hey, what's with the Levi's?" " Are they okay?" " They look good." "Well, they'd look better with some muscle, wouldn't they?" "Hello!" "What are you doing here?" "Missed you in class." "Then why didn't you call?" "Were you waiting for me?" "If you didn't come along I'd have waited for somebody I knew." "Can I go over to your house?" "Are you hungry?" "Don't you have to go home?" "Your parents must be worried." "Do you want to play a game?" "Let's play the lying game." "I'm not any good at that." "I know." "You know the truth game, don't you?" "Lying games make you lie." "Let's tell each other..." "a bunch of lies with one truth." "Okay?" "That won't be any fun." "You think so?" "I think it'll be fun." "Okay." "I've never played so you go first." "I'll start with my family." "My dad works for the government and takes bribes." "I don't know all the details but he heads up the building inspectors." "My mom had an affair with her swimming instructor." "My sister is a model student but kind of an idiot." "But the point is that... our family looks all peaceful and happy from the outside." "Get to something more wholesome." "More wholesome?" "I have a friend named Mi-Jung." "You have friends?" "Yeah, she said she wanted to die over this diet thing." "I didn't believe her but... this morning she jumped to her death off her apartment." "I said something wholesome and you come up with that?" "I did trade sex for money for a while..." "Lastly, I do want to die too." "If we never want to see each other again..." "I'll tell you all about it." "It's your turn." "I know these two girls both named Hye-Kyung." "One I graduated with she got married a while ago, she was pregnant with my child once." "I saw her right before the wedding, and she acted like nothing ever happened." "The other is a prostitute I go to see once in a while." "She's the only adult I can really communicate with." "This..." "this might sound funny but..." "I don't like adult women." "Or men." "I can't say anything about the way they live but" "I just don't like adults." "One day I've realized that you could be someone special to me." "I like you" " Here, this is on the house." " Thanks." "I tried several times to get a dinner allowance." "Dinner allowance?" "Are we paying for this?" " Did you think it was free?" " Didn't the night school pay?" "Jae-Sup, what do you think?" "I don't know." "I'm starting to think the principal is a little greedy... but I might understand it from the principal's point of view." "The school orders and we pay" "Then, they take it out of our pay?" "That's ridiculous!" "You haven't been here long enough to know how the principal is." "It can add up." "Other places don't pay for food either." "Even poor places pay for food." "Food is where friendships are formed." "I can't believe they don't give us food and tricked us like this." "I've had it." "What?" "We need to fight until we get free food." "Nope, I came here to teach children not adults." "I'm quitting tomorrow." "Should we get started?" "What's with the long face?" "Have you been on a diet too much?" "You don't need to do that." "You're no different." "My mother, teachers, everybody always gets after me." "You don't want to hear it?" "Look at you." "You think you're so different but you're just the same." "I'm pregnant." "I'm so scared." "What are you going to do?" "I didn't know you are not different than other adults." "What do you think I should do?" "You really do have some big worries." "I'm bad, right?" "Aren't you going to ask?" "What?" ""Who the father is?"" ""How could a young student do this?"" ""What's the matter with you?"" "You're a child yourself." "You're young, it happens." "WOMEN'S CLINIC" " Are you afraid?" " Huh?" " Nothing." " What?" "I wish you would just yell at me." "I think I'd feel better if you would just yell at me." "I don't think I have that right." "You do." "At least you've been good to me." "KARAOKE" "POETRY" "I feel guilty every time I teach poetry." "I don't know poetry." "Your other teachers are worse than I am." "And the old farts that write the books don't know anything either." "You're not learning poetry." "You're learning how to guess the right answers." "The right answer depends on who makes the question." "This isn't math." "How does literature have a right answer?" "It's a joke." "DRIVING TEST RANGE" "Number 23, please start." "Number 2, please start." "Where's the Lit guy?" "Lit guy?" "!" "What are you guys, friends now?" "We don't have a new teacher yet." "Be quiet and read or do something." "You come home late." "I'm hungry." "Why haven't you gotten a hold of me?" "You could have called." "All I've been doing is just waiting." "It's been hard." "You could have called and" "but you didn't." "I felt I just had to wait..." "You might not believe me but I've been waiting." "If you were waiting for..." "somebody to rescue you then..." "I guess I should have called." "But I figured you needed some time." "So I just waited." "I don't know what is best." "That's just how I am." "That's just...!" "What's the matter with you?" "TRANSLATED BY LEE MI-DO"
