"Daddy, what's that?" " That's Mars" " Is it friends with earth?" "Not yet but soon they will be" "How do you know that?" "Because I'll soon go there to do that" "You're gonna make them become friends?" "Then how will I see you?" "Do you remember that water globe I gave you?" "Think of that as Mars." "Then I'll always be with you" "A LETTER FROM MARS" " I won!" " I did..." " Hey I..." " Rematch then..." " Again!" " Okay, again" "Now, one, two, three!" " I won!" " No I did!" "Then let's do it again..." " I'll go first" " Ready?" "So-hee!" "Come play with us!" "Seung-jae can probably open his eyes under water" "No, he can't." "Why is he doing that?" "Can't you just buy another one?" "My daddy gave that to me before he went to Mars" "Talking about Mars again?" "Only the president, an astronaut and the rich people can go to Mars, stupid!" "Right, Kyung-soo?" "Not rich people, you idiot!" "Mailmen can!" "They can go because they need to deliver mail" "See!" "Your dad didn't go to Mars!" "He's just dead!" "We saw the whole funeral ceremony" " You made her leave!" " Stop it!" "Stop kicking up the dust!" " Why'd you hit me for?" " That sounded painful" "His head always makes that sound" "Whatever!" "Stop hitting me so hard!" "I'm your brother but you're only nice to So-hee" "His head always makes that sound?" "It must be made of rocks then!" "Shut up!" "Stop it!" "Why are you so late?" "We were waiting for you" "Were you cleaning the classrooms after school?" "No!" "I sent a letter to daddy in Mars!" " Dummy, it's not gonna get there!" " Yes, it will!" "Right, Seung-jae?" " Did you put a stamp on it?" " Yes" " And the postal code?" " Huh?" "I don't know if it'll get there without the postal code" " Should I send it again?" " Maybe later if it doesn't get there" "You guys go ahead first" "I left something at school" "Let's go" "Hello" "What are you doing here?" "Sir I'm sorry" " Let me see" " Wait" " Stay still" " Wait please" "It hurts..." "It hurts..." " Please... slowly" " You... you..." "What are you trying to steal?" "Are you trying to get your report card out?" "If you got bad grades then you should be grounded" " No, sir." "That's not it..." " Be quiet!" "Go home and ask your mom for some ointment" "I don't ever want to catch you doing this again" "Sir!" "What do you want?" "Dear Daddy in Mars," "I'll be there next week!" "Wait for me" " Do you need help with anything?" " Nope" " Do you want anything to eat?" " No thank you" "Don't study too hard" " Is this it?" " Yes" "So, you want me to personally deliver this?" " So-hee?" " I don't like her" " Sorry I can't do it" " Please!" "Kid, you gotta put a stamp on!" "Ah..." " Hello" " Oh you're So-hee?" "To my dearest So-hee" "It's not as lonely as you may think here." "Your mommy is here and so is your grandpa" "You can't see us here in Mars, but we can always see you" "I know you want to come here, but not yet." "To come here, you need legal documents and a recommendation letter from your teacher" "Plus, you need to get permission from" "Mars' president, which is only given to a married person" "So, for now, forget about coming here and just focus on your studies" "Lastly, Seung-jae cares about you deeply and I believe you guys are a match made in heaven" "Match made in heaven?" "He's just telling us to keep our good friendship" "I'm scared" "Do you know the multiplication table?" "Then repeat after me!" "2x2=4" " 2x2=4 - 2x2=4" " 2x3=6 - 2x3=6" " 2x4=8 - 2x4=8" "Seung-jae!" "So-hee!" " 4x8=32 - 4x8=32" " 4x9=36 - 4x9=36" "Seung-jae!" "So-hee!" "2x2=4" " 2x2=4 - 2x2=4!" " 2x3=6 - 2x3=6 2x4 Dad!" "Here!" "We're here!" "Dad!" "Seung-jae!" "So-hee!" "Dad!" "Dad!" "You bastard!" " Cool down" " Hey, come on" "Hey, let me go" " Cool down" " You bastard..." "What?" "From tomorrow on, pay more attention to So-hee's Grandma" " So-hee's leaving tomorrow?" " Yes" " Where is she going?" " To her aunt's place in Seoul" "For how long?" "Well, she's transferring school So I guess it'll be for.." "Lucky!" "I hears there's 1000 students 100 teachers in one school in Seoul!" "We should move there, too" "Hi" "Hi" " Hi" " Hi" "A magazine and let's see..." "Sun-mi, it's the end of the month." "So you also got some tax forms." "Here, drink this instead of soda!" "It's warm!" "You should drink this with this medicine" "That's ok I'm pretty strong" "I watched you ride up the hill and you didn't do so good..." "I didn't?" "Please drink it!" " You're very kind." "Thank you" " I'll take that" "Well..." " Why don't you get a bell?" " A bell?" "Oh, I don't really need it" "No, you should get one" "Then you can ring it and we would know you're in the neighborhood" "Well" " Anyway." "Be careful!" " Thank you" "That feels good!" "Mr Kim." "Try to take it slowly" "What?" "Just resting only makes me unhealthier" "Human bodies are like bicycles." "If you don't work them, they just rust away." "I bet I'm still in better shape than you are!" "Anyway I don't know why, but since the dam construction announcement, the mail delivery amount has doubled" "Is there even any good news?" "The village will be under water soon" "Have you started packing?" "No, why would I?" "The decision hasn't been finalized yet" "How's your father?" "Why are you smiling like that?" "He's fine." "Still stubborn as always and still has the same temper." "Well, that's what keeps him going." " I'll stop by sometime, Go home" " Yes, sir" "Grandma, it's cold out!" "Why didn't you stay in the house?" "It's cold inside, too" "Grandma, come here" "You got a letter from So-hee" " I'll read it to you" " OK." "Sure!" "To my dearest grandma" "How was your week?" "Mine was good" "Seoul doesn't seem to get too cold even in the winter" "Recently, I joined a prestigious company here in Seoul" "I'm so happy" "I'm pretty swamped with work but as soon as I get some time off, I'll come visit you" "Meanwhile please don't do any hard work" "If you need help with anything, please ask Seung-jae!" "If Seung-jae doesn't listen to you..." "Hit him hard" "I'll keep studying and working here" "You don't need to worry about me dating a boy" "I trust you to pick a nice boyfriend for me" "Anyway, I'll write again next week." "Take care and be well!" "Love you very much, So-hee." " Wow!" "She's really great!" " That's my girl!" "What's this?" "Is it good?" "She's the main character and that's her sister" "But, later she finds out that she's actually her mother" "It's always the same storyline" "But, I still get a kick out of watching it" "You always drool like a cracked teapot" "Maybe you need a bib" "I'm just kidding" " Mr..." "Kim..." " What, dad?" "Mr..." "Kim... stop... by..." "He's asking why Mr Kim never comes by" "Amazing!" "How do you understand him?" " How do you do?" " What's going on?" "Shut up, will you?" " Hello?" " If he's not home, just hang up" "Is this LEE Ho-gul's residence?" "I'm very sorry about this" " Take care" " Yes" "Hey, Ho-gul, I don't want to see you here again." "Understood?" "It's cold out." "Please go inside" "Thank you, again" "Be careful when you wash your face" "Blot this on with a cotton ball" "You're a pro at this" "Years of experience, you know" "Thank, you." "How much do I owe you?" "That's alright" "No Really" "Don't worry about it!" "I got enough medicine to last me a lifetime" "Just take it whenever you need it" "Well, then." "Thank you" "Well if you want, you can buy me dinner" "Right..." "I'll buy you something delicious" "You got lucked out because of me" "Ouch!" "Stop hitting my head!" "I'm not a kid!" "Mom's not gonna like her" "What?" "She's too old" "Shut up" "Anyway, what are you gonna do?" "Don't worry." "I'll take care of it" "I got about 3 millions won saved up" "We can use that to settle this" "Seung-jae" "I'm really sorry." "I..." " Actually..." " If you're really sorry" "Then behave!" "Stop acting like a fool" "It's not that." "How should I put it" "I kinda spent your money" "I said I'm sorry." "I really am" "I said I'm sorry then..." "Come here!" "Do you know what I went through to save that money?" "One ticket to Jeonju, please 12,900 won, please" "There's less than a year left till the dam construction." "There's no point in fighting anymore" "I've already sold most of my tools" "And you are with me..." "Hey, did your dog have babies?" "What?" "Yes, she did" "Stop distracting me, So anyway" "I need your help" "You know..." "The Green whatever They're getting in our way" "If we get our hands on this matter before others get involved" "How many?" "Hey!" "Three 2 female and 1 male Ok?" "So anyway, Seung-jae" "It's not only for me" "If we get the compensation money, then it'll be good for your family too" "For real" "Who's the father?" "Seung-jae!" "I'm worried about your dog" "She was always pretty weak and you know how dogs get even weaker after giving birth" "I'm worried" "Seung-jae!" "Grandma, you scared me!" "Seung-jae?" "You're not married yet?" "Married?" "You never left this place?" "I lived in Seoul for a bit" "I was working at my uncle's restaurant, but, it wasn't for me" " No?" "No" "About that time, my father got sick, so I came home" "Here..." "Everything's the same" "Nothing ever changes here" "Don't you feel suffocated?" "Hey, uncle Deuk-sam is getting married later" "Remember him?" "Craterface from the melon farm?" "Ah~" "Remember he used to give us free melons?" "I remember I used to cry because" "I was scared of his face" "Right" "He's getting married now?" "You should come with your grandma" "Everyone's gonna be there" "I will" " Seung-jae!" " Yeah" "Seung-jae!" "Hold it with your left hand Like this" "Like this" "Ok" "Hold this for a sec" "Now the groom bows to the bride" "And the bride bows to the groom, again" "Ouch!" "What?" "Seung-jae," "So why did So-hee come back?" "Probably to spend time with her grandma before she passes away" "Maybe she did something bad?" "Like...she got pregnant" "Shut up" "What?" "Eun-ja came back pregnant" "Eun-ja barely went to school, but So-hee is a college graduate" "What does that got to do with getting pregnant?" "Huh?" "The village got smaller" "Roads look narrower" "What do you do?" "Oh" "You work at the post office?" "Yes" "Where is the bank?" "Around the corner, there's an agricultural cooperative" "There, you'll find the Livestocks Cooperatives" "National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives" "Do you have a KB Bank?" "Is there a bathhouse?" "Out in the town there is" "Does it have a sauna?" "I'm assuming there's no library." "How about an internet cafe?" "A pharmacy?" "Yes!" "Do you have Tylenol?" "No" "Let's go to a bigger pharmacy" "Thank you" "I'll just take 2 bottles of health drink" "600 won!" "It'll be here soon" "Who are they?" "Green' something" "A dam will be built up there And all this will be under water" "Under water?" "It's not definite yet." "Just plans" "Since there's a strong opposition, it might not happen" "Breakdown of ecosystem!" "Must be stopped!" "Must be stopped!" "It's not easy to come out here" "How often do you make this trip?" "Me?" "Everyday" "Why?" "For work" "There was a post office overthere" "That's the main post office and I work at a branch office" "I think I was in 8th grade when I last received your letter" "Was it?" "It wasn't your letter." "It was daddy's letter from Mars" "How can you send a fake letter to a middle schooler?" "Well." "I..." "Writing a fake letter must be your hobby" "Even till now..." "Look." "It's our village Look," "Seung-jae" "From Sijung Ri to Sammal..." "Our river and Songmun bridge" "But, what is this about anyway?" "It's about the areas that will disappear due to the dam" "That dam is making us pretty famous, huh?" "You're happy about that?" "Don't you watch the news?" "Our village's gonna be sunk under water because of that dam" "Where are they gonna get all that water?" "They're trying to scare us" "Oh... my" "Trying to scare us?" "For what?" "Mr Park what do girls like?" "Who's the girl?" "The girl at the pharmacy?" "No!" "I'm just curious" "What do women like?" "Yes" "Definitely this..." "This..." "You bastard..." "What are you looking at!" "From my experience, women like..." "You just need to be good at this" "Stop it, "I don't want to"" "that's what they all say" "But don't pay too much attention to what they say" "Just be manly and she'll fall for you" "If you wait, then it's going to be too late" "Love is all about winning" "Good for you" "It's wisdom gained from a painful experience" "Not that kind of stuff" "You mean 'dating'?" "Something like that" "Women like sexy men!" "Are you sure?" "Turn to the next page" "That's what it says" "So-hee, do you..." "So-hee, why don't we..." "So-hee!" "So-hee!" "So-hee!" "So-hee!" "God!" "My shoe!" "You need some medicine" "That's ok. lt'll heal" "No." "It's badly cut" "I'm not gonna die" "But, anyway, what will you do about your bike?" "That's ok." "I was gonna replace it anyway" "That's good" "You should go" "But" "Just go!" "What are you looking at?" "Do you want to know why I ran away?" "No" "Your foot hurts" "Seung-jae come in" "That's ok" "Come in" "2x1=2," "2x2=4," "2x3=6," "2x4=8," "2x5=10" "2x6=12 2x7=14" "2x8=16" "2x9=18" "I didn't steal that money" "Half of it belongs to my dad" "He gave it to my aunt to raise me" "But now, she says she has no money for my tuition" "She has money for her daughter's private tutor but not for me" "Does that make sense?" "I..." "I'll never forget today" "I'll show everyone that" "I can do it on my own" "Then" "I can laugh about what happened today" "Seung-jae," "Are you asleep?" "No" "Come here." "It's warmer" "Your heart is so pure" "when I'm with you," "You make me feel so innocent" "You're very kind..." "Always..." "Thank you for staying with me" " Where are you going, sir?" " Excuse me?" "The 21st floor is the cafeteria" "I don't think a VP would be eating there" "No." "I eat at the cafeteria like everyone else." "So-hee!" "Sir, is the VP also a member of the 'Royal Family'?" "No." "He's a self-made man" "He was sent to America for an adoption when he was only 6" "He received a MBA all by himself" "He's pretty impressive" "Here are marketing plans from our new recruits" "Thank you" "May I ask why you've requested for them?" "Just to see if there are any fresh ideas" "Take yours back" "Sir, nothing was chosen?" "I stayed up a week straight working on mine" "You didn't think it'd be that easy did you?" "Read over the VP's notes on each one" "It feels like a report card" "'Would you give me a chance?" "'" "I hope you're well" "I haven't heard from you in the last 2 months" "It snowed here" "As I watch my neighbors get busy with clearing snow off their doorsteps" "I felt my heart rush a bit" "I'm getting ready for winter as well" "There isn't much a small town mailman needs to do." "But, if there's something that I must do, then I should do it now" "In any case, I hope this winter will soon be over" "I hope to see you before this winter passes" "I really would like to see you" "Dad." "You're making a mistake" "Get... out... bastard" "Ho-gul!" "I know you don't want to hear me say it but the whole village will be under water!" "We're gonna get kicked out anyway!" "So, what difference does it make?" "Can't you see I'm doing this for us?" "For Dad and his illness?" "He doesn't even know!" "Let's talk about..." "Forget it." "Why don't you go and kiss ass to grandma" "Hey, Deuk-sam!" "Yeah..." "Yes" "Hey" "Hi." "Have you eaten?" "Seung-jae!" "Don't worry about it" "Just let it be" "But, about So-hee's grandma..." "What about her?" "So-hee's aunt sold her land here" "A realtor came by with paperwork and asked me to mail it to Seoul" "Does she know about this?" "Probably not" "You'd better tell her, then" "Tell her not plant things on government property" "And a day after tomorrow, deliver this paperwork to Seoul personally" "To Seoul?" "Your paperwork is there too!" "The postmaster at the Dobong post office wants to see you" "He's a friend of mine" "Just introduce yourself" "It's time to start thinking about a new job" "When I was in America, I had many older brothers with all different backgrounds" "One of them taught me this" "But, now, I can't remember who it was" "When I was 7, for the first time in my life, I got a gift from my dad." "I was so happy" "But, 2 days later he passed away" "And, now" "I'm so afraid of this feeling of happiness" "Please promise me that you won't die without me" "Her name is Yoon So-hee" "I don't know who that is" "If you see her, you can't forget her" "She's about this tall and has beautiful eyes with long straight hair..." "She's beautiful!" "Anyone who shows up here with just a name is always a sales person" "So, what are you?" "I'm a mail man!" "Boy..." "You're persistent" "I have to see her" "Excuse me!" "He's my client" "So-hee!" "Your aunt told me you work here" "Wow, a pretty impressive company!" "It's been awhile since I moved out" "Then the letters" "I've sent you..." "I never got them..." "Oh." "That's what happened" "So, what brings you here?" "Well..." "I had some business with... the post office in Seoul..." "Uhm..." "I came to see you" "Ah...you're still sweet" "But, I'm really busy right now." "I'm sorry but you should go..." "I'm sure you heard about big corporations like this?" "We have very tight schedule and it's not very flexible" "That's ok." "I'll wait..." "No." "I mean..." "Words get around here so fast and I can't really say you're my family member and... you know what I mean?" "Then I'll wait for you at some other place." "Take your time" "No." "Really" "You should go" "So-hee" "Are you angry that you never got my letters?" "I didn't mean for that to happen" "I really did send them" "If you tell me your new address" "I'll send them again" "No" "You don't have to" "I just want to leave the childhood memories as they are" "But, that day..." "Seung-jae, we're both adults" "We were adults at that time" "We had good feelings for each other and things happened..." "But that's that" "I'm happy with my life right now" "And..." "I'm in love with someone" "And he proposed to me last night." "We're thinking about getting married this spring" "He's a really good person" "Just think of it as a gift from a friend" "Grab something to eat on your way back home" "Right." "I mean," "I'm pretty hungry..." "I was waiting for you and..." "I forgot to eat..." "Well..." "Seung-jae!" "Where will you move to?" "I don't know, yet" "We're moving to Jinan" "It has cheap real estate and they also have a hospital and a big post office!" "If you want" "I can look for a place for you there" "Sun-mi, when will you get married?" "What?" "Married?" "Well..." "I have to find a man first" "What kind of a man do you like?" "I don't know" "I guess..." "I like men who have clear eyes and soft lips..." "I'm so embarrassed..." "Sun-mi, let's get married" "You like me, right?" "I mean, you don't have to like me, but you're interested in me." "So, we can get married right?" "If you don't want to, then forget it" "Bastard!" "How can you say that so easily?" "You know" "I've always liked you..." "I tried to forget you so many times," "But I couldn't" "I ordered all those magazines just to see you everyday" "You know I don't read any of them!" "You didn't even get a bell for your bike..." "And now, you do a half ass job of asking me to marry you... just like that..." "You Bastard!" "You're such a bastard..." "So-hee, what happened?" " What?" " About the VP!" "What is he gonna do now?" "What are you talking about?" "The bankruptcy" "I heard his loss adds up to a few million wons" "I'll call you later" "2x3=6... 2x4=8... 2x6=12... 2x7=14..." "2x8=16... 2x9=... 18..." "The reason for our gathering here today is..." "Lately we became awkward with each other because of the dam construction matter" "But, we used to be so close together" "Like one big family" "So before we all leave, we should take this time to mend our friendships" "Please enjoy!" "Should I clear the table?" "You're acting strange today" "Open the door, will you?" "Aren't you cold?" "The wind is quite chilly" "He snores so loud!" "Grandma, where are you going?" "I'm going to see my son" "It's late" "Wait till it's morning and I'll go with you" "That's ok" "Don't go" "If I go, then So-hee will come" "So-hee's coming?" "You go back to sleep" "I'll be alright" "Wait, don't you want to take this?" "I got no use for that" "You can have it if you want" "How are you?" "Grandma...did you see her go?" "Were you with her?" "Grandma... did she go to Mars?" "Daddy is there..." "Did she go there?" "She doesn't know how to write..." "How will she send me letters?" "She was in peace" "Good." "That's good" "Seung-jae..." "Remember that brook where we used to go play?" "And catch fish?" "A bit down from it, there was a stream..." "That's the Noruet stream..." "And further down, there was a river..." "The Songnae River." "It's a wide river" "That must be it, then..." "I saw you in my dream and..." "You were there...by that river" "You were fishing there" "The sun was warm and the wind was cool" "Sitting there by the riverside... you looked so happy" "Sometimes." "When I was down" "I thought about going there" "I thought I could see you if I went there and sit next to you... lean on you... and just rest for a little there..." "You can come anytime." "I'm always there" "You're late!" "Come on" "Let's go" "Seung-jae, were you cold?" "Seung-jae!" "Seung-jae!" "Seung-jae!" "Seung-jae!" "Sorry" "Is this the residence of Yoon So-hee?" "Yes." "That's me." "There's mail and a package for you" "From who...?" "We only have kimchi soup or miso soup" "I'll have miso soup." "Do you have a room for a night?" "I have one, but it's a bit damp" "Do you want it?" "Yes." "I'll take it" "I'll give you a good price for it" "Thank you." "And ma'am..." "Do you know where I can find post office workers who worked here?" "Post office?" "Mr. Kim!" "It's me." "So-hee" "This is Songnae River, right?" "Nothing has changed" "Do you know where Seung-jae is?" "He sent me a package but I can't make out the postmark" "He sent it to me on my birthday." "I didn't think he'd still do this" "But I guess he was thinking back to when we were kids" "This postmark is not from Korea" "I've never seen it before" "Happy birthday" "Happy birthday" "So much time have passed since we last saw each other." "I came here because I missed you so much" "Now, I can see you" "Whenever I close my eyes and say my wish" "This is Mars." "This is what we've been chasing after" "What we didn't know was that the whole time it's been right here right in our hearts" "So we can meet anytime" "And get back whenever we want to" "Here, where I thought I would come when I am dead" "Was just here in our heart" "When you have anything that you don't want to forget..." "When you find your most cherished moment in your heart... then, we'll see each other there" "Until then, take care of yourself" " Seung-jae, from Mars" "Today..." "I realized the planet in his story is the place that I already knew" "And for the first time in a long time," "I sent a letter to Mars..."
