"It's ridiculous to go study photography now." "And I might want to join the team leaving for Mongolia this fall." "Anything left?" "Anything left?"

"Even in the worst case it's much better for you to be in America." "You're totally right." "But' I don't wanna do that" "You, selfish egoist!" "In the end you'll be stuck in your lab and" "I'll be left in the darkness alone." "That's the only thing you can think?" "Don't you think we were destined to meet each other?"

"Just to take a rest at home." "Going abroad would make you miss home!" " Mom?" " Why?" "Nothing..." "Mom..." "Among our family, is there anyone who has bad eyesight?" "Eyesight?" "You have bad eyesight!" "You read too much when you were a kid." "I mean, someone else..." " My brother wears glasses, and..." " No..." "I mean..." "I don't know your father's side." "This funeral ceremony got me exhausted." "Sojung, let's go together with your car." "Where?" "It seems your family has trees." "What?" "I see trees." "In our family...?" "There's no such thing." "I see two trees." "There's no such thing..." "You've been in peace for a long time." "You shouldn't get on his nerve!" "What are you doing now?" "Where are you going?" "This might not be the place." "It's been a long time." "Since I last came here." "I understand." "He, I mean your grand father, an educated and rich man I heard, might have been involved in the Tonghak" "Revolution, or might have lost all his money because of concubines..." "I'm not sure since he died young." "We need a saw." "Let me go and get it." "They won't grow any more with this and their roots will get dry." "You, go and get your wife and baby this weekend." "I will." "It's so often..." "It's not long after your grandma died." "You need to be careful about bad rumour." "It's not easy to be an bureaucrat." "Whew!" "Minsu!" "Take this!" "What happended?"

"How come you always get on his nerve!" "Have we tranquilizers?" "Such a stubborn girl!" "We did everything..." "I thought we have no more trouble..." "During the mourning period for your grandma, why do you keep causing trouble?" "Go and get your wife and son!" "Now he is an adult." "Kill me!" "Kill me!" "Spit it out." "Is it hot?" "My heart is beating." "I tell only you." "I'm 17 years old." "Come gently come softly under the willow tree in the shy starlight." "Come gently..." "Smile" "It's out of focus in the film." "I think something wrong with your auto focus." "It was a manual camera." "That was the last picture I took for the day." "My eyes must have been very tired." "The other one is really nice." "Bring other film, then I'll print it agian." "It's OK." "This is Sojung." "About the Future Buddha project..." "The thinking Buddha pictures I took are printed out?" "Already?" "How are the pictures?" "Nothing... just..." "Yes, I'll be there." "See you then." "Good!" "But one more close-up of the face would have been great." "Why are they so out of focus!" "Someone said lmpressionism was created by painters with bad eyesight." "So, I experimented with photographs to see what would happen." "There was an Indian painter who used to be blind in one eye." "Later, he lost the sight of the other one." "However, he still paints, with a helper boy." "But, photography is a different case." "I knew you wouldn't like it." "Then why did you show me?" "What do you think about me working in a studio?" "You said you like traveling around better." "Well, that's true." "It's 3,000 won." "Enjoy!" "I should've ordered one more dish." "That's fine." "You got your hair permed." "Yeah." "It still smells?" "No." "You are wearing a new sweater." "Colleagues of my department presented it." "Isn't it a bit dark?" "Looks nice." "When are you going to leave?" "Tomorrow." "It's later than you planned." "Yes..." "What time?" "9:20 a.m." "9:20" "Then, it won't be night When you arrive there." "Yeah..." "You're not going to give up photography, are you?" "Well, I don't know yet." "Jisuk, will you tell me when you get to know this... whether I'm programmed like this or what is programmed is me?" "If you change your mind, come to me." "If my mind changes." "My hairs doesn't smell?" "Yes, it does." "I'm at my aunt's home to write a short story." "I was gonna go up to Seoul this week, but got a reporting job." "It's about Kyungju city." "Come here to take photographs." "It's not far from here." "This area is my..." "Hello." "Yeah." "You're so hard to reach..." "Well..." "Are they working here?" "You mean "A Passionate duet Sook  Chul"?" "They left last month and we have a better group now." "Can you go to Mongolia?" "I'll be fine." "I'm going to ride a horse" "In Mongolia, too." "Has Jisuk gone?" "We broke up." "You guys were in love too much." "Was there any problem between you and him?" "It happens." "People meet and separate in their lives..." "You say as if you lived one hundred years." "I mean, I've heard people say that." "Wow!" "Nice!" "What?" "Nothing special." "A hill and old trees in the middle of city!" "Yeah... it's an old tomb." " A tomb?" " Yes, cross over this street, there are bigger tombs of kings." "See it again if you want." "This is the other side of it." "It's only a tomb and trees..." "Sojung, any place you wanna go?" "Well, when my grandfather had a stroke" "His concubine for 20 years left him." "During the whole life time he had been a notable playboy." "But when he got sick, he came back home." "It's a pity my aunt should take care of him." "Anyway he is poor too." "Hello." "Yeah." "Now I'm OK." "One moment." "You're my guest for my birthday, especially as a representative of photographers." "Your birthday?" "Younger ones are too busy to remember things." "It was me who got a small camera in this city for the first time." "Oh, it was you!" "The pictures I took when I was young are somewhere." "Someone must have taken it off." "I did the calligraphy there." "You did it all?" "No." "No." "The powerful one on the left, I did that." "Grandpa, what are you doing?" "You know where the picture on the wall is?" "The one of this house and the landscape." "I guess I saw it when I was a kid." "Dad might put it away." "Let's look for it." "This is where you want to go?" "You gave me a choice." "There's nothing to see... only a lotus feature on the ceiling." "In the North area, many frescos have still remained in the ancient tombs." "The painting of the Sun, the Moon," "Constellation, big trees even the flying God and goddess in clothes with wings." "Were they clothes?" "I thought they were wings risen under their armpits." "It's clothes." "They are called Chuni or Wooi." "Gods fly because they have clothes With wings?" "They have these clothes because they are Gods." "I' II go there alone." " Are you OK alone?" " Absolutely." "I'll be back soon." "Fright" "We need at least 3 months." "But if you're in hurry, let's make it intensive." "Then you must pay more." "Yeah, I agree." "Just kidding..." "Everyone who takes lessons here are very serious, work harder if you want to do a solo flight in such a short period of time." "I know, I'll work hard." "I know you can't carry all of this but won't you miss them?" "Further, to buy all of them there again..." "Well... you can get a lot of used stuffs in America." " I'll keep this one." " OK." "You're really stubborn!" "I told you that you can't." "It's so tough to come here a few times a week." "I'll stay here until my first solo flight." "It won't take long." "I passed the driving test on my first trial." "Know it would be different from flight, though..." "I'm so nervous." "Let me read your palm-lines." "You have a long life." "Don't worry about it." "I have to go to the restroom." "Thank you!" "Sojung, what are you up to since you won't study abroad?" "I'm going to marry the photographer who came here instead of you." "But we're quarrelling everyday as we explore Mongolia..." "Can you hear it?" "Because of this music," "I fell in love with this guy," "Jeen!" "One more try!" "OK." "One more try!" "It's foggy so often because of the river." "It's not a good place for an airfield." "Is this the South Han River?" "Where does it flow?" "Well... to the West Sea?" "Shall we drink some beer?" "I was just kidding about flying around the world." "Flying high gives a broad vision." "Right, a broad vision..." "I had a dream like that when I applied to the air force in the age of 19..." "Flying high and going anywhere..." "It was good." "It's because you haven't done it lately." "Me too." "No." "It's because I got sober." "Shall we give up?" "Last year, a gardner took a lesson." "When he got the license, he presented me these three." "What happened to this one?" "Well, there always exists a healthy one and sick one too." "It's just like that." "Let's do it..." "Let's do it..." "Let's do it..." "Let's do it..." "Now I don't want to..." "Let's do it..." "Let's do it..." "If you want to, stay awake." "Sojung!" "Yesterday, it was windy day here." "I remembered the first day we have met." "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me most." "Even though Man evolves much more and the Science develops brilliantly," "We only perceive things within the limited ways of perception of each individual." "Then why do you always want to look beyond the boundaries...?" "This is the answer to your last question." "A Zen priest wrote this poem looking at the mirror before he died." "80 years ago Thou art I, and now 80 years after I am Thou" "Sojung!" "I know there are a lot of unknowns and worries but I want us to go through them together." "... to missing Sojung From Jisuk, Boston" "The weather is caprious 'cause you're gonna leave soon." "I know you're ready for your solo flight but let's wait for a better day." "Let's go out together." "I'm OK." "I'll watch TV." "Did I lock the door?"
