"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!"

"She's really great" " That's my girl" "What's this?" "Is it good?"

"Thank you" "Well if you want, you can buy me a 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" "Less than a year left till the dam construction" "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?" "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 'cause" "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" "Groom bow to the bride" "Bride bow 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" "Hasn't she done something?" "Maybe she got pregnant" "Shut up" "Why?" "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 KB Bank?" "Is there a bathhouse?" "Out in the town" "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 she's gone" "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 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?" "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?" "21st floor is cafeteria" "I don't think a VP would be eating there" "No." "I eat at the cafeteria" "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 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 it" "You thought it'd be that easy?" "Read over" "VP's note 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 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 forthe 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 village will sink" "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" "Let her not plant on government property" "And a day after tomorrow, deliver this paperwork to Seoul personally" "To Seoul?" "Your paperwork is in there too" "The postmaster at 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" "And 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, 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..." "Post office in Seoul..." "Uhm..." "I came to see you" "You're still sweet" "But, I'm really busy right now" "I'm sorry but you should go" "You heard about big corporate 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 also has a hospital and a big post office" "If you want" "I can look into 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, can't we get married?" "If you don't want to, then forget it" "Bastard!" "How can you say that so easy?" "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 ask me to marry you and..." "Just like that..." "Bastard" "You're such a bastard..." "So-hee, what happened?" " What?" " About VP" "What is he gonna do now?" "What are you talking about?" "The bankruptcy" "I heard his loss adds up to a few 1 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 due to the dam construction matter" "But, we used to be so close" "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 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 Noruet stream..." "And further down, there was a river..." "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" "You got a mail and a package" "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" "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" "Much time have passed since we 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 you wish not 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"
