"There are some things that just don't happen no matter how correct in theory" "Like the NBA Dream Team getting beaten by the Korean team, or Miss Korea marrying a hotdog vendor" "We all know too well that things like that just don't happen in real life" "Excuse me, Miss." "You failed to practice safe driving" "Am I under arrest?" "May I see your license, please?" "Well..." "Miss, you're headed for some serious trouble!" "What's going on?" "She's got the nerve to drive like this without a license" "I'm really sorry" "It's just that my driving test is 2 days away and I just wanted to get some practice" "You gotta turn all the way around with your right arm on top of the passenger seat..." "Like this?" "Do you work this Saturday evening?" "Yeah, I think so" "Oh well..." "Take it just in case." "It's a play that I'm in" "You're an actress?" "Actually a student." "Second year Theater major" "I live in the dorms but I'm here on vacation" "Hey you!" "You can't do that here" "OK, we're leaving!" "Hey wait..." "I just want to buy some flowers" "Thank you" "A PROMISE" "Run!" "Run!" "I didn't know traffic officers had so many diverse duties..." "Thank you for the flowers..." "It was my first time being invited to a play" "I had a great time" "Then why did you leave so soon?" "You got your license!" "Congratulations!" "Let's have lunch." "My treat" "I can't leave this area" "Really?" "Do you like ramen?" "Ever meet a soldier who doesn't?" "Wow, this is delicious." "What's your recipe?" "It's a secret." "I'm planning to open a franchise later" "If you're studying drama, then you must want to be an actress" "Not everyone who studied drama becomes an actor" "I don't really have a dream" "I'd like to be a good performer, but I don't know" "I'm also thinking about studying abroad" "Why, do you have a dream?" "When I was a kid, I wanted to be a baseball player someday" "I did play in junior high" "But I didn't get big enough." "It also didn't seem like I had the talent" "So I quit" "Sometimes you have to readjust dreams" "Guess what it is now?" "What?" "A baseball umpire" "Funny, huh?" "Now that I think of it, your gestures are like that of an umpire calling "STRIKE"" "I promise to come and see your game when you become one" "Is that a promise?" "Of course." "You came to see my play" "A fat lady..." "She is eating and suddenly she gets fuming mad" "You know this joke?" "No" "Well she suddenly gets really mad" "Guess why?" "Why?" "The food in her bowl kept disappearing!" "!" "Funny, right?" "That's really old!" "Geez, I just heard it yesterday..." "I'm leaving tomorrow" "Oh." "Back to school already?" "Wait a second" "New Driver" "You have to post this for 6 months" "I'll write you!" "Hey..." "Seonghoon!" "Officer Lee!" "Sorry, man" "Officer Kim, what are you still doing up?" "You went to a 4-year college, right?" "Are there two 'L's in "especially"?" "He spent most of his spare time writing to her" "To this day, I call him for a spelling check when I get stuck writing articles" "His days of constantly writing her paid off" "I was looking for a traffic officer" "It's been a long time, Bumsoo" "Yeah" "Why do you keep smiling?" "I'm just glad to see you again" "So you're staying in Seoul for good?" "I have some year-end leave coming up" "Maybe we can go see a play together" "Do you feel better?" "The night air isn't good for you" "Stop blowing "ping, ping" and blow hard, go "poong"" "Better?" "I get overnight leave this weekend." "How about a play?" "And I get year-end leave this month, if it's OK with you..." "What's wrong?" "I'm going abroad to study..." "Going abroad?" "So Soon?" "But you didn't mention anything in your letters" "I wanted to tell you in person" "Why didn't tell me sooner..." "I mean..." "You've been so good to me" "But..." "I..." "I..." "love you!" "In grade school... you wait for your first field trip with bated breath" "Marking the calendar..." "Losing sleep the night before" "But once you get there, it's not what you expected" "I think happiness is not the field trip itself but it's in the waiting," "I think love is the same way" "We feel happiness not when we achieve love but when we know there is a possibility of love" "I know that." "I don't know much and I don't have much" "And I know this sort of situation is not for you" "No." "It's not that at all" "I like you too" "But if I acknowledge my feelings now, it will just confuse me further" "Bumsoo, let's just be friends!" "I'm in love with you and so I cannot accept your friendship" "What's wrong with him?" "We're wearing seatbelts, right?" "Once he said..." "He thought about the number of people in this world who exchange 47 letters and go on living as strangers" "Out on the field, the umpire is the law." "When you make a call, you must mean it" "And when calling "Strike", the sound of "k" is most important" "It's not just "STRIKE", it's "ST~~~RI~~~KKE"." "Got it?" "Yes, sir" "Well, let's start one at a time" "Don't make the "kk" sound so obvious" "That doesn't mean you do away with it all together" "Not bad..." "Just some more vibration after "ST"" "Now, you know you ain't here to sing the blues" "Louder, kid." "They gotta hear you out in the outfields" "Yes, sir" "The batter's chest, knees and both sides of the home plate make up the four points of the invisible rectangle" "A strike is when the ball passes through here" "The ball went past the ankles..." "I said the knees" "Strike." "It's in the middle" "All catchers are frauds." "Look at the ball not the mitt" "Strike!" "It was just within the homeplate" "You're still not loud enough!" "On the record, she was history" "But human emotions don't always go by the record" "Hyun joo!" "Hey, you're by first base." "You ain't gonna need to call "STRIKE"" "I remember being a nervous wreck my first time on the field" "Want some?" "Is this OK?" "Sure." "Nothing like it to calm the nerves" "Good, huh...?" "Hey, first time on first base?" "Aren't you the baseball player, Kim Sunghan?" "I'm not a player anymore." "I've been coaching for three seasons" "I was a big fan of yours way back when" "Stop it." "You're making me feel old." "Just call me Coach Kim" "Son, how old are you?" "Twenty-seven" "What an age to be!" "The ball was faster!" "Your foot was off the base" "Not bad for a rookie" "You guys..." "It's not funny" "With over-time, a game can go well over 5 hours" "Sometimes holding your piss is more important than making the right call" "Hey, Lee, it's agreed, right?" "Come on." "Stop meddling" "A show has its own rhythm." "I can't do a close-up here!" "Come on." "We're both players here." "You did an extreme close-up on Kim" "That shot was required." "Why don't you direct?" "Ok." "I give up." "How about in the last scene?" "You do a close-up on Harin and roll the credits, huh?" "Ok." "I'll think about it" "Are you ready Harin?" "Let's do a set-up with the camera!" "What did you think of my interview?" "It was fine" "But you could be a bit less logical." "It can be a work as a turn-off" "Is it better to look ditzy?" "Well you know..." "A pause here, a blush there" "Mr. Byun, how've you been doing?" "Mr. Bae." "It's been a long time" "Harin, this is Mr. Byun Jimin" "You're Yoo Harin, right?" "Nice to see you" "I'm gonna go get the car" "I really like your show." "I read the original novel" "Well, I'll see you next time" "How does "The Truth of Love" end?" "You said you read the novel, didn't you?" "Actually, I only got half-way through the book" "Goodbye, now" "Is that right?" "Hey Coach Kim, go and make an appeal!" "The manager made me come out." "Let's just go through the motions" "Hey, you watch that soap opera on T.V.?" "I don't watch much T.V. these days" "You're missing out." "It's called "The Truth of Love"" "I skip baseball highlights for it These days" "Hey throw me out of the game." "I have a killer hang-over" "Really?" "Ok, Out!" "What're you talking about?" "Why am I out?" "Keep an eye out for the ball." "You can get hurt pretty bad" "Hey, aren't you going to bed?" "Yeah, I'm almost done..." "I saw "The Truth of Love" last night" "You did!" "Pretty great, huh?" "That Harin, what a babe" "Believe it or not, I know her" "Everyone knows Harin." "I know her too." "She just doesn't know me" "I knew her a long time ago" "You guys went out?" "You could say that" "Stop joking." "If so, then I dated Sharon Stone" "It's true." "I even know her real name" "Whose side is he on?" "All right." "Let's show our client over there what we can do." "OK?" "Cut!" "let's set up for the next shot" "Merry Christmas, girls" "Merry Christmas" "Bye" "Nam Hyunjoo, who's that?" "May I see that?" "That Hochang and his snoring!" "Stop with the excuses." "There must be a reason" "Stop the bullshit and drink!" "Hey, Kwangtae" "Kwangtae?" "My wife is here and you're still treating me like a kid?" "Sorry, I'm late" "Why are you here alone?" "I know you're new and all..." "But our KBO Umpire's New Year's party is for couples only" "Yeah." "I heard." "But give me a break this time" "What break?" "We enforce the law on the field" "So go out and get yourself a woman." "I said go on." "Get on out here!" "Thanks for coming" "Did you wait long?" "No, I'm fine." "Let's go in" "You got yourself a date?" "Hey, isn't she the 'bat girl'?" "This is really different from the place we were at before" "Don't worry." "This place isn't that expensive" "It's nice to hear you say "we"" "Fried ramen with seafood" "Cold ramen with Vegetables" "I told you it wasn't expensive?" "This is red pepper ramen?" "Red pepper ramen's soup is good but the noodles are even better" "This was fried in vegetable oil, right?" "It's called "farm oil"" "Are you also coming out with ramen fried in soy oil?" "I'm finally reaping the rewards of focusing on the ramen instead of ice cream" "Dessert time" "Bumsoo, are you alright?" "Oh, my god, look out..." "Seungyun!" "Yes?" "Do you like me?" "No." "I love you." "Now, come on" "You shouldn't love me" "Why not?" "Field trips." "Field trip is not good." "It's the waiting that's important" "What are you talking about?" "Come on!" "I'm saying that you shouldn't love me" "Do you have someone else?" "Yeah." "I'm in love with someone" "I've bee in love with her for a long time." "You know her too" "Who's she?" "Is it Miss Song in the broadcast studio?" "Nam Hyunjoo!" "Who in heaven is Nam Hyunjoo?" "Oh yeah, Everyone knows her as Yoo Harin" "Who?" "Yoo Harin?" "The actress?" "Yes, I'm in love with her" "Get over it." "The male population of Korea loves her." "You're drunk" "No." "I've been in love with her since she was Nam Hyunjoo" "We exchanged 47 letters and I taught her how to drive" "I went to see her play" "This is too much." "And you're hurting my feelings" "Stop making excuses" "Speaking of letters, I sent Brad Pitt over a hundred" "Talk about being in love" "Yoo Harin is Nam Hyunjoo..." "Mr. Yoon." "An exclusive!" "Lee Miran has an illegitimate daughter" "What?" "But baseball season starts tomorrow." "Let's sit on it for a few days" "In a few moments, the 98 Korean League will officially begin" "We are honored to have a very special guest to throw the first pitch of the season" "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome actress Yoo Harin!" "There are some reporters here." "Let's stay until the 3rd inning" "Ms. Yoo, could I have your autograph?" "Sure!" "Thank you" "Busy today?" "The usual." "Hey, I got her autograph" "OK, I'm out." "Stop rubbing it in!" "Let's get going" "Nice going" "Lee Miran refuses to withdraw her suit" "I think you should lay low in another department" "Who knew that exact replica of hers would turn out to be her niece?" "I heard the baseball division could use your help" "I liked number 3 more." "I could rely on number 4 for a hit" "If you aim for base stealing, you may reach a 20-20, you ever feel tempted?" "Sure." "But the question is, am I up to it?" "Who's your favorite actress?" "huh...?" "Give my regards to Mr. Bae" "Sure" "Bye" "That Choi Yoo Ree." "Pretty good nose job" "You two have a alot in common" "She was represented by Mr. Bae once and she also did commercials for "Naumyun"" "She was in a "Naumyun" commercial?" "Don't you remember?" "She'd smile seductively and a guy would say "I'm hungry for 'Naumyun"'" "She got her first big break with that" "Oh yeah" "What's with your skin...?" "I'm just tired" "Did you have dinner?" "You want some ramen?" "No, I have an interview" "Hey, what are you smiling at?" "The umpire by third base, he's an old friend" "You mean Kim Bumsoo?" "How'd you know his name?" "Hey, come on, I'm in the third grade!" "Excuse me, were you one of the umpires?" "Yes" "Could I ask you something?" "Oh, yes, go ahead" "The audience kept yelling out what sounds like "Pitcher buck", is that "buck" as in F.U.C.K.?" "No, that's "balk"." "B.A.L.K. but people yell out "F.U.C.K."" "Bumsoo!" "Hyunjoo!" "So, your dream did come true" "So did yours" "Well, I kept my promise right?" "I promised to come and see your game" "You'd already fulfilled it before" "You came to throw the first pitch at the opening game" "You were there?" "I was by first base" "Why didn't you say anything?" "I used to think that I'd see you again when you returned from your studies abroad" "But when I saw you on T.V., I knew I had no chance" "I worked as a guide for a commercial crew from Korea" "That's when I met my current manager" "My whole life changed after that" "You once said that dreams had to be readjusted" "Thank you for the Christmas card" "How do I look?" "Strike..." "Is that right?" "Woa!" "That loud?" "They have to hear you in the outfields" "Wait, hold on" "Call out my name!" "Hyunjoo..." "You OK?" "You look nice" "You look nice too" " You like it?" " Yeah..." "Can you walk around like this?" "What do you wanna do?" "I want to try that" "What?" "A corn dog on a stick?" "Yes" "Wait!" "I'll get one..." "Hey!" "That's Yoo Harin!" "Mr. Yoon, who is the biggest name in Korea today?" "President D.J. Kim!" "No, I mean in entertainment" "Yoo Seungjoon, Han Sukkyu..." "Readers are not interested in the private lives of male stars" "Yoo Harin?" "June 8th..." "That's Yoo Harin?" "White SM, License plate 7 486." "Chamsil Stadium parking lot." "July 3rd" "She's dating a baseball player!" "LG's Kim Yongsoo, he's hot these days." "Wait, isn't he married?" "Even better!" "That's what I call news!" "I focused on popular baseball players at first." "Nice families, good looking" "However, Yoo Harin's been caught on my radar 5 times at baseball games, but each time it was a different team" "That means it's not a player" "Baseball fanatic, attorney Kim Hyungon" "That's right." "He's got the money and the prestige" "But all five times, he came with his wife and kids" "Author Song Yoohee, working on a novel about baseball" "You mean Yoo Harin is a lesbian?" "But Song Yoohee is not a lesbian" "How would you know?" "I've got my ways" "Millionaire Jeon Jaegwang, a very likely candidate" "But I did my research and found out he's impotent" "Then, who the hell is it?" "Here's our man!" "Actress Yoo Harin and Sportscaster Ha Ilsung's Secret Rendezvous?" "What is it?" "Yoo Harin is seeing someone else" "Stop poking around." "You're making me out for a fool" "I'm sorry, but I thought you should know" "He's not even worth your time" "You have an N.B.A." "That's M.B.A." "He's just a KBS baseball umpire" "KBS?" "Yep" "You mean KBO!" "Sorry sir." "I apologize for my ignorance" "He's probably punk she knew before she was famous" "The bullets have run out, The bad guys corner Harin" "At that moment, something falls from the sky" "Guess what?" "It's "Naumyun"." "And you see the following on screen" ""I'm hungry for 'Naumyun"'!" "May I join you guys?" "Yooree, what's your latest project?" "A new film called 'Nostalgia'" "You're doing that film?" "Why not?" "Am I not suitable?" "That's because you only read half the book..." "The main character's personality changes in the end!" "Care for some coffee or ice cream?" "Coffee, please" "Same here..." "Me too" "Ice cream, please" "Just a moment, please" "Oh, could you sprinkle some ramen crumbs on top?" "Pardon?" "Don't you know ramen crumbs?" "You don't look too happy" "Did Yooree get to you about 'Nostalgia'?" "Why did Yooree quit doing commercials for "Naumyun"?" "She basically didn't like ramen" "That was the only reason" "I've never mixed business and pleasure At least until now" "But now I find myself jealous of a baseball umpire..." "What, now you're checking up on me?" "Harin, wake up and smell the coffee" "You're playing a cruel game with this guy!" "Let me off" " Let's not act like children!" " That's exactly why I want to get off" "You've been doing this for two years and you're still alone" "You're a disgrace to KBO umpires" "Dude, go out and get yourself a date" "I'm gonna go make a call" "Don't even think about coming in alone" "Hey, drink up" "Who's this?" "Hyunjoo?" "Bumsoo!" "Yes?" "Isn't that wrong?" "Shouldn't it be "No Parking" not "No Park"?" "Yeah." "That's right" ""No Parking" not "No Park"" "You haven't changed at all" "Shouldn't you be going in?" "And leave you here alone?" "You think, maybe we were too hard on him?" "Maybe he went home" "Poor kid, where would he find a girl at this time?" "He's a good-looking kid, what's with him?" "Bumsoo, you're back?" "Sorry if we came down on you too hard" "So, that's what took you so long" "You've proven yourself as a genuine KBO umpire" "You're very pretty" "You look like this actress" "Aren't you Yoo Harin?" "Oh gosh..." "I'm a big fan of yours" ""The Truth of Love" what are you doing here?" "Could I have your autograph?" "You guys get to first base yet?" "So what are you going to do off season?" "Catch up on lost sleep?" "That's a long way off." "We still have the Korean Series" "Don't mean to brag but our group has been chosen for the Korean Series" "That lucky son-of-a-gun." "Bumsoo's getting a lot of good experience" "I'll try to make it to the game" "Why don't you come and throw the first pitch?" "If you agree, I'll turn over homeplate to Bumsoo!" "Wow." "A second year rookie getting to referee homeplate in the opening game?" "Great." "I'll ask my manager to arrange it!" "Hey man, how about a song?" "Yeah, give it your best shot" "I'm pretty tone deaf..." "Let's see..." "Hurry up!" "Sir, could you give us some privacy?" "Sure" "We're here already?" "Yeah." "Is this the right place?" "Why didn't you wake me?" " I had a really good time" " Me too" "I'll be going now" "OK" "That night, on the happiest day of his life, he wrote his 48th letter to her" "I've had my suspicions about your personal life but I didn't want to say anything" "I'm sorry" "You're barely ranking tenth" "You hold the record for the fastest entry in the polls and now it seems you'll hold one for the fastest exit" "It isn't like you to harbor on popularity polls" "I've seen cases like yours" "When you've had your fill, you start whining for the normal life" "I remember the first time I met you, on location for Yooree's commercial" "I'd hate to see you have to go back to your old life" "What's this?" "You wanted the role" "Wasn't it Yooree's?" "It wasn't final" "Make your mind up quick." "Filming in Paris begins next week" "Attn :" "Nam Hyunjoo" "I'm sorry about what happened last time." "I was out of line" "I guess I was jealous" "I sometimes wonder if we had met in school, I would've been better at expressing myself to you" "Ms. Yoo, I brought up your mail" "Thank you, Samshik" "I thought that you might crave ramen on location in Paris" "Thank you" "Let's go" "Where are you going?" "The flight to Paris leaves at 8 pm" "The entry form for the Korean Series." "Please sign it" "You're calling the opening game." "Congratulations!" "What's with your eyes?" "Hold on" "Here let me see that" "This works well on black eyes" "Hey, Yoo Harin's lover!" "Yoo Harin's Millionaire Beau" "Geez." "Another millionaire business man" "It was yesterday." "You knew we wouldn't be back in time" "To the Right!" "Miss." "Yoo, have you heard the news?" "Is it true that you're retiring after the release of 'Nostalgia'?" "Gentlemen, I've informed you of the location of the press conference" "What's going on, Mr. Byun?" "What in the world is going on here?" "While you were on location, there were a lot of rumors about us" "I think it's time for us to clarify our relationship..." "You Harin's Millionaire Beau" "I think this may be good for you too" "Harin, am I your manager or what?" "The opening game of the Korean series which was delayed, is scheduled to begin at 2pm today" "Do I still have to go on today?" "It's too late now." "Everything's been set." "You'll do fine!" "Who's that?" "He's going to throw the first pitch." "Head of the Songpa district office" "What happened to Yoo Harin?" "I've had a hell of a time screening these questions" "It might help you to review them first" "Thanks" "Samshik!" "You've got a spelling error in every sentence" "What can I say, I'm a drop-out" "Are you ready?" "Harin, what's wrong!" "I have a promise to fulfill!" "What are you talking about?" "Harin, what's going on?" "I'm going to go throw the first pitch" "What the hell?" "Yoo Harin!" "Go ask for Mr. Park from KBO I'll make the call" "Hey, Bae!" "What the hell is she doing?" "Hey, what'd you say to her?" "You ever talk to me like that again, I'll kill you" "I'm sorry for the confusion" "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the press conference has been moved" "All right, let's do it!" "Thank you for coming" "OK, Ms. Yoo, have a seat." "When I send you the signal, just come on out!" "OK" "Ladies and Gentlemen," "Despite the unexpected rain, the 1998 Korean Series will now begin" "We have a very special person here today to throw the first pitch" "Please give a warm welcome to Ms. Yoo Harin!"

"Yoo Harin will now throw the first pitch" "You know what to do" "Mr. Yoon, front page news, Yoo Harin's..." "What are you doing Kang?"

"Oh my lord!" "This is all I know of their story." "Some say it's like a fairy tale" "But it doesn't seem too educational to pass it on to our children" "Who knows how many times the sun rose in the west without our knowing?" "Who knows?"
