"Would you care to dance?" "DANCE WITH THE WIND" "PARK Poongshik..." "When I met him," "I was living a flat, dry life without a breeze in sight." "Yes, don't worry sir..." "I'll check into it." "Yes, immediately sir." "It's freezing, why aren't you inside?" "What's this?" "Open it." "Name, PARK Poongshik." "Age, mid-thirties." "The most notorious scamp north of the river, a legend in his field." "He only deals in rich housewives." "And that scumbag got the chief's wife for close to $30,000." "The chief is so pissed, he says he'll shoot the bastard." "So?" "So, we have to catch him!" "Then go catch him." "Would I have called you if it were that simple?" "The chief's wife denies that he did anything wrong." "On the contrary, she's worried sick that he'll be hurt." "So what are we supposed to do?" "There's only one way." "We have to make him confess." "How?" "That dirty scamp is in the hospital now." "You're going undercover as a car accident victim." "Do your duty, right now!" "Meanwhile, I'll comfort the chief." "Does it have to be me?" "This is your speciality." "What is it now?" "Yeonhwa, what will I do?" "We're in trouble again." "I told you to divorce him." "Not your dad, it's your brother this time." "What is it now?" "He got drunk again and hit his wife." "I'm going crazy!" "His father-in-law says he'll put him behind bars." "Come quick and try to do something, huh?" "Just let him go to jail." "How can you say that," " you nasty wench?" " I'm busy, bye." "I know you're busy, but your brother's going to jail..." "I broke my neck in a car accident!" "Leave me alone!" "I believe it still works." "Good day." "Hello." "I'll just step out for a bit." "Oh, yes!" "Where is it that you go each day?" "I have to see someone." "A woman, perhaps?" "Good day." "God, what style!" "Was that man discharged just now?" "He's going out for a bit." "Where is he going?" "How would I know?" "Can a patient just go in and out like that?" "What, do you think this is some kind of jail?" "What the hell?" "Dammit!" "Shall I help you?" "Step aside." "You seem to dislike machines." "Oh, gosh." "I have some freshly ground coffee in my room." "Would you care for a cup?" "Freshly ground...?" "It's called Columbian Supremo." "The fragrance is excellent." "Come in." "Have a seat." "Yes." "You're quite comfortable here." "You could call this my home." "Why is that?" "I've been booted out." "My wife divorced me." "That's destiny for you." "We had a slight misunderstanding, but it..." "Did you read those books, or are they for decoration?" " Yes, reading is my hobby" " Can I use the bathroom?" "Please." "Be my guest." "Try it." "The fragrance is wonderful." "Machine coffee can't compare." "Thank you." "It's tasty." "Say, "the fragrance is wonderful."" "The fragrance... is wonderful." "Isn't it?" "This fragrance is my happiness." "Um, can I ask you something?" "Of course." "What do you do?" "I am an artist." "Oh, really?" "What art form do you pursue?" "The art of dance." "Dance?" "Ballroom dance." "Oh, right..." "Are you familiar with ballroom dance?" "Well... the thing people do in cabaret bars..." "You know..." "That's what I figured." "No need to be sorry." "At first, I felt the same way." "How did you come to take up dancing?" "Destiny." "Destiny?" "Yes, destiny." "Destiny that I could not refuse." "I'm afraid it would take all night to tell you." "Well, I've got time." "I mean, it's so boring here." "I'm curious what other people are doing with their lives." "Yes, at such times it helps to hear about others." "Exactly." "Where shall I begin?" "I used to be a dull, tedious fellow." "At some point, without any reason," "I began to live my life with no meaning at all." "Like a cactus in the desert, with no breeze to console it." "And at one point I stopped even asking myself, why I lived like that, or how I'd turned out that way." "Mister, just leave it." "The news will be on after the ads." "You're watching it?" "I didn't realize..." "Then one day, a person I met changed my life." " Welcome!" " Hello, hello." "What'll you have, sir?" "Yes, one bottle of soju..." "What do you have that's good?" "Everything's good." "Well, some chicken giblets." "And one grilled fish." "And a bit of snail salad..." "Do you have egg rolls?" "Of course." "Then fry me up one of those." "Yes, coming right up." "It's been ages since I've visited a soju tent." "How's business?" "Ah, so-so." "Nobody drinks cheap liquor these days, all trying to act rich." "Some people come here asking for whiskey." "Fools..." "When did they all start drinking whiskey?" "Hey, Poongshik!" "It's me, Mansu!" "3rd year, Kangsan High!" "Oh, Mansu..." "Where did you get so drunk?" "My brother is home already." "Do you think your brother is the only friend I can drink with?" "Friend?" "I see you met another loser like yourself." "Oh, I'm drunk." "I feel like hell." "But I feel good, too." "Nice to drink some expensive liquor." "Every day I drink soju with fish broth." "For the price of that whiskey, I could drink two months." "Tell the Madame to come in!" "I've got money." "How many days in a row is this?" "Is it raining?" "What the hell?" "I gotta go..." "What's this room for?" "For educating saleswomen." "And sometimes for storage." "Have some coffee." "But how did you know I was here?" "I knew it from the start." "I just didn't want to embarrass you." "I came to ask you a favor." "What favor?" "That room must be empty during the day." "Let me use it." "For what?" "For some business." "You'll find out soon enough, but business is tough these days." "President, local chapter of Nat'l Association of Motion Arts." "What is this?" "Just as it says." "Kind of a leisure sports instructor." "Motion Arts..." "Are you teaching taekwondo?" "Not taekwondo, dance." "Dance?" "What kind?" "Ballroom dance." "What's ballroom dance?" "You know, what they do in cabaret bars..." "Are you one of those guys who swindle women?" "Yes!" "Damn gigolo." "You can't use the room!" "Beat it!" "One, two, three da four." "Good!" "One, two, three da four!" "So, beautiful!" "One, two, three da four!" "What's wrong with you?" "What the hell is this?" "That room's empty." "He pays well, so I'm happy." "For a few extra bucks, you let him defile our clean office?" "I don't care if he seduces women." "I'll do anything for cash." "Come on!" "He's buying us drinks tonight at a really posh bar." "Why is the day so long?" "That looks fun!" "Should I join too?" "Can we?" "Ladies, please!" "Go do some work." "This kind of thing is how families get broken." "This is harder than I thought." "Try it again." "One, two, three da four..." "Dammit, I'm busy!" "Hey, come here." "What is it?" "I can't go on like this." "What?" "Help me." "I can't handle all those women by myself." "So you're asking me to teach dance like you?" "It's easy." "Learn from me for 3-4 days, and it'll be a piece of cake." "You're insane!" "Hey, have some consideration." "How can I just turn away all those women?" "I'll pay you well, okay?" "Forget it." "I'll give you half the lesson fees." "I'm not interested." "Okay, okay." "You drive a hard bargain." "You take all the lesson fees." "I don't want your money, you scum!" "All right, all right." "Let's do it this way." "Try learning a bit from me." "Just try it, and if you end up liking it, you help me." "And if you don't, then hit me." "I know you want to hit me." "In Korean cabaret bars, people usually dance jitterbug or blues." "But you won't catch anyone's eye doing that." "The mother of the jitterbug is the jive." "Jive!" "If you just master that, you'll be king of the cabaret." "You'll be fighting them off." "Just teach me anything." "Let me just tell you this." "This dance requires strong athletic ability." "A three minute song will have more than 400 steps." "And not in one place, you'll be steppin' and slidin' all over..." "Do you ever shut up?" "All right, all right." "Don't be nervous, now we're about to start." "One, two, three, da four..." "Easy, huh?" "Try it." "Lift your hand." "Like this?" "It's a simple step, why do you talk so damned much?" "One..." "When I took my first step," "I felt a shiver through my whole body." "Why hadn't I learned this before?" "It seemed so unfair that hadn't known." "Without realizing it, I let out a sigh." "I just went crazy about dancing." "And to that scoundrel who taught me to dance," "I was insanely grateful." "Brother!" "What happened here?" "Who did this, huh?" "Go ask that bastard Mansu." "Mansu?" "Some guy came this morning and trashed the place." "He said his wife had an affair and ran off." "That Mansu... damn." "Mansu, that bastard!" "Hey, Poongshik!" "That bastard." "I hear the office got trashed?" "You dirty bastard!" "You think it's funny?" "What?" "What did I do wrong?" "What did you do wrong?" "Isn't it obvious?" "Damnit!" "That stupid bitch went and found God at the crucial moment." "You're supposed to confess in church, not to your husband." "Damn I'm unlucky." "But no need to worry." "I'm not giving up now." "Rather than waste my time sneaking around," "I'll go to jail, get fit, and polish up my dance steps." "Then I'll come out." "You asshole." "Hey, no need to swear." "Before I go, I'll give you one of my secret tips." "When you dance, put these walnuts in your pocket, and rub them up between your partner's thighs." "Then it's game over." "She's be all over you." "Now I've given up another secret!" "Do you think I study dance to become like you?" "Then why do you do it?" "What do you mean, bastard?" "There's no goal in dancing." "I just like to dance." "Hey, do you think dancing is art?" "Snap out of it!" "You've got a real problem here." "I'm leaving." "Which police station should I go to this time?" "At that moment, something stirred in my chest, a desire to learn dance properly." "I had to restore honor to the art of dance, which had been besmirched by swindlers like Mansu." "So from then I began a quest to learn dance in depth." "But unfortunately, I couldn't find any real teachers." "So I left my home, asking around for teachers, and searching them out." "What about your family?" "Back then, I couldn't even think of them." "Excuse me, sir." "Who is it?" "I'd like to study dancing." "We don't teach disco." "I know." "I came to learn ballroom dance." "Why does a young guy like you want to learn?" "Because I like it." "I guess the teacher hasn't arrived yet?" "I'm the teacher..." "You are?" "You haven't heard about me, have you?" "Most people know who PARK Mu-shin is." "Oh, really?" "So when will you start?" "Well, I think I'll check a few more places first." "Later, I will visit you again" "Grandpa, I'm ready." "Okay, let's give it a try." "As you wish." "Master!" "Please accept me." "One, two, three da four..." "Stupid!" "Cast off your old thoughts, I said!" "You're learning for the first time today." "You're drawing a new painting on a white piece of paper." "Three da four?" "It's "three and four."" "One, two, three and four..." "My teacher was a ballroom dance pioneer who had studied in Japan." "It was fundamentally different from those cheap dance classes." "More exalted than tao training, more difficult than asceticism, freer than flying in the sky..." "It was a special process, difficult even to describe." "Stupid!" "In taking my first step into the exalted world of art, my heart was bursting." " Grandpa!" " Master!" "Out of the way!" "Are you okay, master?" " You've just taken your first step..." " Master, hold on!" "Master!" "Sorry..." "I had so much more to teach..." "No master!" "No, don't!" "My work is done!" "Having lost my first mentor," "I set off once again to find a new teacher." "After crossing the country to learn dance, I returned home." "Five years had passed." "What kind of a jerk is he?" "He left his wife and kid to run off and learn dancing?" "For five years?" "What an ass." "Officer PARK, could there have been some mistake?" "What?" "Is he really a swindler?" "What kind of swindler studies dance that way?" "What do you mean?" "He robbed the chief's wife." "There's nothing after that." "Why?" "It was morning by then." "The doctors started their visits." "So he didn't even get to the main story?" "That's why I said I'd call you when it's done." "Stopping by without warning..." "I'll call you." "Yes Chief, good news." "Things are progressing faster than I thought." "Hey, Yeonhwa!" "You bitch." "You told them to put me in jail, huh?" "Let go." "Is that how you talk to your older brother?" "You think you have no family, huh?" "Just thinking of yourself, bitch?" "I said let go!" "Come here!" "I'll knock some sense into you." "Out of the way!" "Just ignore us and do your work!" "Who the hell are you?" "Release her." "Is this any way to treat an injured patient?" "Who the hell are you, bastard?" "I am hospitalized together with Yeonhwa." "I'm an artist." "Huh?" "What the hell kind of freak is this?" "Not a freak, an artist." "Out of my way!" "I'm going crazy here." "Then you belong in a lunatic asylum." " Goddamn it!" " Damn you!" "Ouch, Yeonhwa!" "You wanna be crippled?" "All right, all right, I'll go." "Let go." "Release, please." "Damn bitch." "Let's see how well your life turns out." "What the hell" "Stop staring!" "Drink up." "One more" "My life is funny, huh?" "Not at all." "Wow, drinking soju in a place like this feels so elegant." "Great weather..." "Do you enjoy life?" "Pardon?" "I said do you enjoy life?" "Sure." "After all, I have my dancing." "Then let's try out your dance." "I said teach me." "I don't teach dance for fun." "Do you think I'm looking for fun?" "Very well." "What shall I teach you?" "Whatever." "Something dazzling, if possible." "Then jive it is." "This way, please." "Now, jive is referred to as the mother of the dance jitterbug..." " It's in 4:4 time..." " Got it." "Let's dance." "Yes, look here." "This is the basic step." "One, two, three and four..." "One, two, together, apart..." "Easy, no?" "Try it yourself." "Raise your arms like so." "That's right." "Now, begin!" "One!" "What's wrong?" "What about the shivers down my spine?" "Not for everyone, perhaps." "Let's continue." "What are you doing these days?" "What the hell's going on with PARK Poongshik?" "It seemed too easy at first, why is there no progress?" "Are you stalling on purpose to get back at the Chief and me?" "Officer PARK..." "What do you think of ballroom dance?" "They say in other countries, 5-year olds can learn it." "It's as acceptable as walking hand in hand." "What are you talking about?" "Why do we get so worked up over it?" "Yes?" "What are you doing?" " Oh, nothing..." " Are you going out?" "I'm tired of staying in, it's stifling." "I see." "Come on." "Get dressed." "It's so nice here." "I wish I could build a house here and live with no worries." "You're much improved." "What is?" "Your face." "Really?" "You look good." "I'm so curious." "About what?" "How a person like you could get divorced." "It's an artist's pain." "Tell me about it." "Why your wife divorced you." "That's a long story as well..." "We've got lots of time!" "Shall I?" "Where did I stop last time?" "You returned home after studying how to dance." "So after traveling the country five years to study dancing," "I returned home." "But the world I lived in was not hospitable to dancers." "There was no place to study, or to dance as I wished." "My whole body ached to dance, and I became furious that I couldn't." "What?" "What kind of man are you?" "You return after five years, and now you're a bum?" "You want me to die from anger, is that it?" "Do you have any idea how I've lived all this time?" "Do you know how" "Byungguk and I suffered?" "I knew you'd be fine." "What?" "You dirty bastard, you!" " Misook!" " Are you human?" "Are you?" "Go die on the street!" "I couldn't take it any longer." "I was about to go insane." "So without choice, really with no other choice," "I visited the pit of indecency, the cabaret bar." "Welcome!" "Even though, I found myself in such a place." "I desired for the real dance." "But it wasn't easy to find the right partner." "Excuse me." "Did you come alone, by any chance?" "Yes, why?" "If you need a partner, would you care to dance?" "I don't do that kind of dance." "Do you know how to dance the waltz?" "Do you dance well?" "I can dance pleasurably." "I was happy as a bird out of its cage." "It didn't matter where I was." "Just the fact that I was dancing made me unspeakably happy." "And not just me, she was happy as well." "We danced together each day in complete happiness." "But she wanted more from me than just dancing." "I won't go home alone tonight." "I'm starving... please feed me." "A dancer should do anything to make his partner feel happy." "So I did my best for the sake of her happiness." "Mister PARK!" "Can you go faster?" "How is this place?" "When I'm lonely," "I come here alone to wallow in my misery." "Do you like it?" "If you like it Madame, then so do I." "How can you be so different?" "Different?" "From the man they call my husband." "He doesn't have a clue of what it is that I want or like." "He doesn't show the slightest interest in me." "You know what?" "Just seeing his fat head makes me want to kill him." "Dancing is the only way I get by." "You don't mind if I drink tonight?" "Madame please, don't be upset." "Forget it." "I just didn't want to take advantage of you." "I know, I know..." "But I just feel miserable." "I'm a woman after all, how could you spend the night in the same room, and not even think of touching me?" "It wasn't like that..." "Ignored at home, ignored outside..." "I feel so wretched." "Wretched." "Don't worry about me." "It'll pass." "What is it?" "I never intended to hurt your feelings." "You did nothing wrong, Mister PARK." "It's okay, go on." "I..." "To be honest with you... last night was the longest night of my life." "You are so sexy and beautiful that I can hardly control myself." "Mister PARK!" "Is that the truth?" "Madam, you know that I cannot tell a lie." "Mister PARK!" "I..." "That wasn't what I meant..." " I know, I know..." " Madame, we shouldn't..." "This wasn't my intention..." "We shouldn't..." "I swear to God," "I had no other choice." "I was being courteous to my partner, and she was being honest about her feelings." "But I felt responsibility as a father and husband, so I resolved not to meet her again." "And I didn't contact her." "But then she wouldn't stop calling me." "Who is it?" "Mommy!" "I thought she would stop." "But as time passed, it began getting worse." "So finally I called her." "I had to see her one last time." "Madame, it's me." "Good afternoon." "It's been a while..." "Have you been well?" "Do I look well?" "Forgive me, Madame." "Be honest with me." "What happened?" "To be honest, the business I run is facing a bad situation." "It's about to go under." "These past few weeks have been so hard I hardly remember them." "Actually, I missed you like crazy." "But the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and most of all, I didn't want you to see me this way." "So I didn't call." "You fool." "We should support each other at such times." "I'm sorry." "I can't stay here long." "I have to go search for a loan." "I'm really sorry." "Mister PARK..." "I had no choice but to lie to her." "I thought she'd give up on me, and return to her own life." "But the next day I got a call from her." "What is this?" "Don't say a word, just take it." "Please." "Madame!" "I'm sorry, Mister PARK." "I know you'd rather die than take this." "But first, try to live." "It hurts me so much to see you this way." "If you take this, it will make me feel at ease." " I can't accept..." " Thank you Mister PARK, thank you..." "Madame!" "I thought for a long time before making a decision." "Yes, this was the last thing" "I could do for her." "I should take it, in order to make her happy." "Yes, I must take it honorably!" "Why throw away a perfectly good mobile phone?" "It was for her sake." "It needed to end there." "After ending it with her," "I searched for new partners, always trying my very best." "And strangely enough, I always ended up with an envelope." "This here..." "Don't say a word, just take it." "It's not much." "I'm sorry I can't give you more." "Hey, Poongshik!" "When did you get out?" "About two months ago." "I wasn't in jail the whole time." "Since then I've been in and out a few times." "Three, four times?" "What a loser." "You're still the same." "Hey, you've become quite the legend since then." "I don't know why people like you talk about me." "Don't pretend, you bastard!" "I hear some novice hung your name on the wall, and bows to it each night." "I'm so proud of you." "We'll be the perfect team." "With your dancing and my know-how, it'll be game over." "They'll be knocking our door down." "We'll be raking in the cash from those ladies!" "It's people like you who made my teachers suffer." "You rotten piece of trash." "Trash?" "Don't even think you're in the same class as me." "I..." "I'm not a damned gigolo." "If he's not a gigolo, then what is he?" "A whore?" "No sense of identity." "Bastard!" "You're gonna die today, you asshole!" "Who are you?" "You swindled the money she made in the outdoor market?" "I'm gonna grill and eat you." "Aren't there enough rich women in the world for you?" "You're dead!" "Mister, please!" "I think you've misunderstood." "Out of the way, Dad!" "You know what that money was?" "That was my college tuition!" "Don't stop me, Dad!" "It was your tuition?" "Let's kill him!" "Let me explain!" "Sounds like the neighbors are fighting." "Wait!" "Wait!" "Suddenly I was thrown into confusion." "What am I, what is dance, what have I been dancing for?" "I asked myself these questions over and over." "Meanwhile my wife didn't even listen to me." "Hey!" "Clean up quietly, will you?" "Concert tomorrow." "You take him." "Why me?" "Try being a father for once." "Let's do it again, Byungguk!" "Dad, carry me!" "Let's just walk." "I hate walking!" "You don't think I'm tired?" "It's not far." "Mom, why don't you go?" "Hello." "Oh, yes..." "Hello." "Have you been well?" "Yes." "Your business?" "Yes... thanks to you... not bad." "I'm so relieved." "I was so worried." "I'm sorry, but my son is about to come on stage." "I should..." "Just a minute." "I have one favor to ask." "Could you dance just one song with me?" "What?" "I beg you." "Just one song." "No, even one bar will do." "But... now I'm..." "Please, just once." "Well, then..." "Just one song." "Thank you!" "Thank you!" "We have no music." "Shall we dance to that?" "Now I have no regrets in life." "Thank you." "Then a realization struck me." "Dance is something that gives happiness without cost." "I was so proud of myself for being able to dance this way." "From then on, I was no longer afraid of people's prejudice." "You!" "Misook..." "Misook." "Disgusting bastard!" "There's no hope for you." "So she divorced me and expelled me from home." "In gaining one thing, you lose another..." "The moment I understood the meaning of dance, was the moment I lost my family." "At first I felt sad that she didn't understand me." "But asking an ordinary person to understand an artist's life is too much to expect." "Why do you drink like that?" "Why do you look at me that way?" "You filthy, rotten gigolo!" "Just now..." "...what did you call me?" "I called you a gigolo." "Why?" "Why... am I a gigolo?" "Don't you know?" "Being a gigolo, I thought you'd know best." "I..." "...am not a gigolo." "What do you mean, you're not?" "You seduce women with dance and then take their money." "That's what gigolos do." "I have never done that." "I dance... that's all." "However you deny it, you're a gigolo." "I am certainly not." "I am not!" "Cheeky bastard." "I ought to..." "Out of the way!" "A dancer must be judged by his dance." "Dance with me, then judge." "Go practice your art on some other woman." "I'm sorry." "Forgive me, please." "He's such a clever bastard, it's more difficult than we expected." "I'm sorry." "Just give me a little more time," "I'll try a new method..." "Yes, yes." "I'll contact you soon." "How did it go?" "Did he confess?" "Yes." "Great!" "The tape!" "The tape!" "I didn't record it." "Why not?" "I want out of this operation." "What?" "Why?" "Just because." "Is this some kind of joke?" "What's your reason?" "Why?" "Are you involved with him?" "You think I'm insane?" "You crazy bitch!" "Have you lost your marbles?" "What are you doing down there?" "Out of the way!" " No!" " Hey, are you gonna start typing?" "Aren't you gonna work?" "No." "It can't be." "Snap out of it." "What?" "No!" "It can't be." "No!" "He didn't want the money, at least." "Poongshik!" "Charlie SONG..." "It's not much, but take it." "Madame!" "Don't make me more miserable than I already am!" "This makes you miserable?" "You said you're struggling." "Who's struggling?" "I'm Charlie SONG." "Charlie SONG!" "I can't accept this money." "I'll get the money back tomorrow, and the business will be fine." "You'll get the money back?" "Yes." "Oh, I didn't know that." "Sorry, I overreacted." "Madame!" "Yeah?" "Will you be happy if I take this money?" "Huh?" "I said will you be happy if I take this money?" "Well, I wouldn't go that far." "If I take this money, will you be happy, Madame?" "Sure, I'll be happy." "I'm taking this for the sake of your happiness." "SONG Mansu, right?" "Right at the critical moment!" "What are you looking at?" "Poongshik, that bastard, he's worse than I am." "Me?" "I show my business card, I've got my own enterprise." "I acknowledge I'm a gigolo." "He'd rather die than admit it." "Then what am I, a moron?" "Shut up." "Are you sure" "Poongshik will be at this place?" "Trust me." "There's this chick he's dying to meet, and I told him where she is." "What woman is that?" "Just some girl." "Tell me." "Sure, why not." "When was it...?" "I think it was just after his wife busted him, and kicked him out." "He was going crazy, spending all his time in dance bars." "After all, there was no wife to stop him." "He was probably happier that way." "And that's right when he met her." "They're nice businessmen, why don't you go?" "But I just came to dance." "Just dancing?" "We have to set you up first." "Then you can dance all you want, okay?" "You've got the best seat here." "You just order one beer, you won't meet any guys." "How do you expect us to turn a profit?" "I'm sorry, it's my first time here." "I'll just sit a little longer and then go." "Whatever!" "Excuse me." "Yes?" "Did you come alone?" "Me?" "Yes." "Am I not supposed to come alone?" "It's not that, I just didn't want to disturb you." "If you don't mind, shall we dance one song?" "I'm not very good..." "It's okay." "Let's go." "Over here!" "Wait!" "Just a moment." "What is it?" "Are you just going to leave?" "Can't I go?" "I paid the entrance fee..." "That's not what I meant." "If you'll permit me," "I'd like to treat you to dinner." "My kids are home alone." "I need to go." "I'm sorry." "Wait!" "Wait!" "This woman was fundamentally different from any of his old dance partners." "Her purity of heart drove him absolutely wild." "Poongshik spent every night at the cabaret bar, just dancing with her." "But the weird thing was, other women would've been all over him by then, but this girl showed no interest." "So I crossed the country for five years learning to dance." " But dance, for me..." " I'm sorry." "I need to go back to my kids." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "The legendary Poongshik was pulling out his hair in frustration." "I'm so tired..." "Life is so hard." "But... with those last, heartbreaking words, she suddenly disappeared." "Poongshik went crazy, of course." "Jiyeon, what's going on?" "Why don't you answer the phone or come dancing?" "Did you go somewhere?" "Is anything wrong?" "I'm really worried about you, so call me as soon as you get this message." "Please!" "Hello?" "Poongshik, it's me." "To be honest, my husband died two years ago in a car accident." "I opened a cafe with the insurance payment, and barely managed to get by." "But my brother took the deposit on my cafe, and gambled it all away." "These past few days have been so hard I hardly remember." "I don't know how I'll get by." "I've just been wandering, wishing I could die." "I see." "I'm sorry to worry you so much." "I should have at least called you." "No, I..." "I caused such a fuss." "I just feel sorry." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Jiyeon." "Take this." "What is this?" "Don't say a word, just take it." "With this, you can get a new cafe in a nice location." "Poongshik!" "Don't refuse, just take it." "I'll feel better this way." "No, I can't." "Money should go to a good cause." "If you earn it back later, repay me then." "Poongshik..." "And please don't be sad anymore." "Later, when you're back on your feet, call me." "Poongshik!" "Honestly, I'm not saying this because of the money." "All this time, I've missed you like crazy." " Hurry, Poongshik!" " Jiyeon!" "Don't worry..." "What do we have here?" "Who are you?" "I'm her brother, asshole!" "You dirty bastard." "Do it right!" "Baster!" "There's too many women but why..." "He ended up in the hospital after that beating, but that hopeless fool still sat and waited." "He was completely insane about her." "So that's why he left the hospital each night?" "Keep talking!" "But he was my friend, and after hesitating a while," "I felt sorry for him and paid a visit." "When did you get out of the hospital?" "So you were nearly beaten to death?" "I heard everything." "You moron." "What a fool..." "You know what?" "That chick, she's as famous as you in this field." "These days she's going around, bragging to everyone about you." "She's got a lot of nerve!" "There's something I kept meaning to tell you, but forgot." "However pure-hearted a girl is, if a gigolo sets on her, she gives in." "But even the king of gigolos is no match for a determined lady snake like her." "That's the law of the jungle." "So no need to feel embarrassed." "Even one of your exalted teachers would have been no match for her." "Here's a bonus." "That lady snake?" "I know where she is..." "Where?" "Where?" "Tell me, you bastard!" "Where is she?" "That jerk, he was so proud of himself, now he's totally screwed." "He'll kill her as soon as he sees her." "You should know, if you cripple someone, how many years do you get?" "Which prison will he end up in?" "I've been to them all." "That Daejeon Prison the guards there are so well-mannered." "It's amazing." "Shut up and step on it!" "What?" "If you don't get there before he sees her," "I'll fry you like a chicken." "What did I do?" "If you go under 100kmlhour, I'll fry you." "Are you shooting a movie?" "What is this, 'Speed'?" "Outta the way!" "That jerk could use time in jail." "Why do you care, anyway?" "You got a crush on him?" "Did he teach you to dance?" "We're losing speed!" "Hey, hurry it up!" "Hurry!" "Out of the way!" "I can't help this!" "How can I drive in this traffic?" "I'm screwed." "Use the sidewalk." "Go!" "Shit!" "I give up." "Just ignore those..." "It's a snack." "How are you?" "May I sit down?" " Course" " Thank you" "Jiyeon." "Long time no see." "And you are...?" "Jiyeon." "You've got the wrong person." "And so?" " Jiyeon." " Hey!" "What's with this guy?" "He must be crazy!" "You don't know me?" " Let go!" " You don't know me?" "What the hell is this?" "This isn't your business." " Jiyeon!" " What's going on?" "You've got some nerve." "Get over here." "Follow me." "Let go of me!" "Jiyeon!" "I need to talk to you!" "Let go!" "You picked the wrong guy to fight." "Come here, you jerk." "Let's go, dammit!" "I give up!" "I don't care if you fry me." "This isn't Christmas Eve, what are all these cars?" "This situation..." "Hey!" "Hey moron!" "Look, you jerk." "If you're a pro, then act like one." "You lost, just accept it." "Why are you carrying on like a kid?" "If you want to keep dancing with two healthy legs, beat it while I'm still nice." "What the hell?" "You little bitch!" "Die!" "Stop!" "Yeonhwa..." "Shit, what is this?" "If you don't want to end up in jail, beat it." "Who the hell are you?" "Shit." "I'm sorry for not telling you sooner." "But my job really isn't that important." "More important, much more... is that now I love to dance." "You told me once, dance with me and then judge." "Aren't you going to ask me?" "Will you dance one song with me?" "With pleasure." "PARK Poongshik!" "Don't move!" "You're under arrest for extortion and sexual molestation." "Get up!" "What's going on here?" "Can't you tell?" "Why are you doing this to him?" "What's wrong with you?" "Officer PARK..." "You said you wanted out of this operation." "Why are you arresting him?" "The chief's wife admitted to his crimes." "The chief pointed a gun at her, finally she told him everything." "Besides, we have testimony from other victims." "It's all over." "No, it can't be true!" "What are you talking about?" "He's innocent." "Truly!" "Are you crazy?" "We have their testimony!" "No, they're fake!" "He never harmed anyone!" "He only dances because he loves it." "Is it a crime to dance because you love it?" "Say something!" "Say something." "You be quiet!" "He only wanted to dance..." "Shut up!" "I'll see you at the station." "Hurry and take him out." " Out Of the way." " Come here!" "No, let him go!" "Let him go!" "What do you associate with ballroom dance?" "Colorful lights, philandering housewives, gigolos." "2 years later Colorful lights, philandering housewives, gigolos." "Things like this, right?" "That is the problem." "First we need to change our preconceptions." "You'll realize once you start, but there's nothing bad about it." "These days its name has been changed to "Dance Sports"" "Look at those people dancing." "Don't they look happy?" "Sorry, we'll have to think about it." "Yeonhwa!" "Officer PARK." "That guy... we found him!" "Poongshik." "It's been a long time." "You don't seem very excited to see me." "I kind of guessed this, but you ended up like your old teachers." "If I ask you to come back, of course you'll refuse?" "Let's dance one last time." "One song." "I don't dance anymore." "No, you have to." "Because I want to dance with you." "The woman who you dragged into this world, who can't do anything now but think about dancing, this woman is now asking you to dance." "Freeze to death here, or drown." "But do it after you do this." "Would you dance one more song?" "With pleasure." "People still don't know his true story." "But what is certain is, he is the happiest dancer in the world, and I fell completely for his dancing." "Now a breeze blows in my life, too." "English subtitles by Darcy Paquet"
