00:00The story begins with a young boy named Ko-Giyom, who rents a small room in a pirated movie rental
00:08shop alongside his older brother, Ko-Joon. The shop's owner, their uncle, is a kind man who
00:15allows Giyom to watch all the movies except adult films. As Giyom grows older, he realizes that
00:22frequently watching pirated films doesn't benefit the filmmakers, it harms them instead.
00:27As a film enthusiast, Giyom dreams of contributing to the film industry by becoming an actor.
00:33By the time he turns 26, Giyom starts attending auditions, but his performances are far from
00:40impressive. Just as he's about to leave one of these disappointing casting calls, he encounters
00:45a beautiful girl with a unique name, Mubi, which sounds like the word movie. Mubi is a stunning
00:51young woman who despises her name, wishing she could change the one her father gave her.
00:57She grew up without much affection from her father, who, though he loved her, was always
01:02too busy making films to be present in her life. This left Mubi craving attention and often
01:08acting out. When her father passed away, Mubi discovered his collection of films, which
01:14she considered terrible. Now, Mubi works in the film industry to prove to her late father
01:20how painful it is to dedicate one's life to making bad movies. Not long after, Giyom becomes
01:27an actor, but only as an extra with insignificant roles. He often ends up bothering the other actors
01:34on set. Despite his lack of meaningful roles, Giyom frequently crosses paths with Mubi during
01:41filming. To him, Mubi is like a new movie he's discovered, captivating and unforgettable. While
01:48others might not notice her, Giyom finds her strikingly noticeable among the crew. Mubi often
01:54wears black, but her eyes shine brightly. She's quiet yet highly reliable. For some reason, Mubi
02:01intrigues Giyom, though he doesn't realize that she's aware of his interest in her. Mubi finds his
02:07constant attempts to approach her and ask nonsensical questions annoying and uncomfortable. Giyom is the
02:15type who gets along with everyone. He's sociable, and even when he's not around, people talk about
02:20him. Unfortunately, this is precisely what Mubi dislikes about him. She finds him disruptive to her
02:27desire for a peaceful life and makes this clear to him. She doesn't want him near her or even talking
02:33to her, but Giyom only finds her more enchanting. He mistakenly believes she feels the same way,
02:40imagining their story as a melodramatic film. Determined, Giyom continues to pursue her,
02:46convinced they're destined to be together. This belief is reinforced when they coincidentally
02:51meet at a friend's wedding, where Giyom is the host and Mubi is filming the event. To them,
02:58it feels like fate. One day, the film crew travels to a shooting location by bus. At first, Mubi assumes
03:06Giyom will sit with her, but when he chooses to sit with someone else, she feels a pang of
03:11disappointment and eventually falls asleep. When Mubi wakes up, they've arrived, and she discovers
03:17that Giyom has been taking photos of her while she slept, teasing her about it. After the shoot,
03:23by sheer coincidence, both Giyom and Mubi miss the bus back. Forced to wait for the next one,
03:30they sit together and begin to get to know each other. At that moment, Giyom asks if Mubi
03:35is always this peculiar. She doesn't answer directly, but instead questions whether Giyom
03:41is always pretending to be cheerful. Hearing this, Giyom realizes that the girl he's infatuated with
03:48is sharp-tongued and quick-witted. He then asks her, as an assistant director, if she wants to make
03:54a film someday and what kind of film it would be. Mubi replies that she wants to create a truly
04:00remarkable melodrama. Giyom is surprised to learn they share the same favorite genre.
04:06Mubi then asks if Giyom plans to keep acting. He responds with certainty, saying he loves movies
04:12or films so much that he can't imagine doing anything else. His words seem to hint at his
04:19growing feelings for Mubi, as if he's subtly confessing his affection through his love for the
04:25art they both cherish. Shortly after, the bus they had been waiting for finally arrived.
04:31During the ride, Mubi fell asleep and had a dream about her father, which startled her awake,
04:38tears streaming down her face. In her days, she accidentally grabbed Giyom's hand. Embarrassed,
04:45Mubi quickly apologized, saying she had been careless. Though curious about what had upset her,
04:51Giyom chose to stay silent. Not long after, the film production wrapped up, and it was time for
04:58the farewell dinner. As usual, Mubi avoided the crowd and slipped away alone. Giyom, noticing her
05:05absence, followed her. Seizing the moment, he asked why she always kept her distance from others.
05:11Mubi replied that people always leave eventually, and she didn't want to be left alone again.
05:16She added that someone like Giyom, who always pretended to be cheerful, would probably be the
05:23first to walk away. This makes Giyom even more sure of his feelings for her. He approaches and asks
05:30if Mubi will like him if he tells her his secret. However, Mubi didn't answer with words. Instead,
05:37she took his hand and kissed him. Giyom, surprised, asked if she was being careless again. Mubi shook her
05:44head and kissed him once more. It was revealed that Mubi found herself drawn to Giyom. Ever since
05:51she was a child, she had always felt pity for things that seemed sad or abandoned. She would
05:56try to care for them, like the stray puppy she brought home or the neighborhood boy who was bullied,
06:02whom she treated like a younger brother. But everything she cared for eventually disappeared,
06:07her dog, her neighbor, and now her father. Then she met Giyom, a man who was always seeking
06:14attention, acting strangely, and pretending to be cheerful. For some reason, she was intrigued by
06:21him. However, just as they shared that kiss and Mubi began to open her heart, Giyom suddenly vanished.
06:28Rather than dwell on it, Mubi decided to forget him and threw herself into her work, determined to
06:35make her film. She resolved to think of Giyom as gone, just like everyone else. The scene then reveals
06:41the reason for Giyom's disappearance is because his older brother, June, had a serious accident and was
06:48rushed to the hospital. For weeks, June lay in a hospital bed, and Giyom was the only one by his
06:54side. He stayed with June through rehabilitation, never leaving the hospital. As for work, Giyom
07:01transitioned to becoming a film critic, running a small blog where he reviewed current movies.
07:06Occasionally, he took on part-time construction jobs. He did whatever it took to support June,
07:13and before he knew it, five years had passed. One day, Giyom attended the premiere of a newly
07:19released film. As a film critic, he was invited to the screening, which happened to be directed by
07:25Mubi. Initially, Giyom only planned to watch the film, but seeing Mubi there reignited his desire to be
07:32part of her life. In response, he joined the canned A session after the screening. As a result,
07:39Mubi was shocked to see Giyom there as a critic. During the session, Giyom asked if this was truly a
07:45melodrama, pointing out how pessimistic and bleak the story was. For some reason, Mubi felt irritated
07:53by his words. They lingered in her mind, unsettling her. Why had Giyom, whom she thought was gone for
08:00good, suddenly reappeared in her life. Meanwhile, June had grown curious about Giyom's life over the
08:07years. His younger brother had done nothing but care for him and work. Giyom never talked about
08:14his own life anymore, though June remembered him once mentioning someone he liked. When asked,
08:19Giyom simply said he was fine and that he'd been too young back then. Not long after, as a film critic,
08:26Giyom was invited to the premiere of a film directed by a senior director. He arrived with
08:31Song Ng, a director who had once hired him, and from a distance, he spotted Mubi. When Mubi caught
08:38sight of Giyom's face, she felt a mix of concern and relief. He looked as though he had just returned
08:45from a long journey, his face etched with exhaustion that was hard to put into words. Giyom wanted to
08:51approach her and ask how she had been. But before he could, Mubi had to leave and head into the studio.
08:57The film was about to start. After the screening, Mubi left early to avoid Giyom. But as she searched
09:04for her car keys, she realized they were missing. Just then, she was startled to see Giyom running
09:11toward her. At first, she thought he was following her, but it turned out he was returning her lost car
09:17keys. At that moment, Giyom handed them over without explanation, prompting Mubi to ask how
09:23long he had been a film critic and whether he had attended her premiere just to review her film.
09:29Giyom simply replied that he had wanted to see her first film. Mubi pressed further, asking if he had
09:35been sick or even imprisoned for some crime. Giyom remained silent, which only frustrated her.
09:41She declared that from now on, they were enemies. After all, directors and film critics were natural
09:48adversaries. She also made it clear that she didn't want to see him again. Sometime later,
09:53Mubi's mother informed her that the house across the street had been sold. It once belonged to the
09:58boy Mubi had considered a younger brother, the one who was often bullied. The new owners had made
10:04some renovations to accommodate a wheelchair for one of the residents. When Mubi went to greet the new
10:10neighbors, she was shocked to find Giyom and his brother, June, living there. At first, she thought
10:18Giyom had followed her yet again, even going so far as to move in next door. However, it turned out
10:24that June had chosen the house, and fate had brought them together once more, this time as neighbors and
10:31enemies. Perhaps they were meant to grow closer after all. Living next to Giyom filled Mubi's days with a
10:38mix of irritation and unease. Her frustration grew when she noticed that Giyom had visited all the
10:45neighbors to hand out rice cakes, except her. To Mubi, his behavior became even more annoying now that he
10:52was no longer bothering her. Meanwhile, Giyom was simply trying his best to respect her wishes, as she
10:59had explicitly told him not to appear in front of her again. He even asked June why he had chosen this
11:04house, as Giyom needed a reason to face Mubi. But the more he tried to avoid her, the more their paths
11:11seemed to cross. Over time, Giyom began to see sides of Mubi he had never noticed before. There were
11:19layers to her personality that surprised him. One day, a man arrived at Mubi's house and called her
11:26big sister. Giyom realized how much he had missed in her life. The man was Zhang Hu, Mubi's childhood
11:32neighbor who had moved to America and lost contact with her. After catching up, Zhang Hu crossed the
11:38street to Giyom's house, noticing him peeking toward Mubi's place. He asked if Giyom knew the
11:45beautiful woman across the street, but Giyom denied it. Zhang Hu then inquired if a toy box of his had
11:51been left behind when Giyom moved in. Unexpectedly, Giyom teased him, leaving Zhang Hu convinced that his new
11:58neighbor was a strange man. That evening, Giyom and Jun hosted a housewarming party, inviting their
12:05friends. During the gathering, Giyom confided in a friend about reconnecting with Mubi, the girl he had
12:12once been infatuated with. His friend grew annoyed with Giyom's indecisiveness, telling him that if he no
12:19longer had feelings for Mubi, he should stop paying attention to her. But if he still liked her, he should
12:26apologize for leaving her behind, as the one who is left behind often suffers more. After the party
12:32ended, Giyom asked Jun why he had chosen this house. The reason, it turned out, was simple. Jun loved the
12:40large white wall in their yard. He remembered Giyom once saying he wanted a house with a big white wall
12:45so they could watch movies together. So, Jun had bought this house for Giyom's sake. Hearing this,
12:51Giyom felt a mix of frustration and guilt. Once again, his brother had put him first, even though
12:58Giyom wished Jun would do something for himself for once. One night, Giyom noticed Mubi returning home
13:05drunk. Worried, he followed her to make sure she got home safely. However, Mubi, feeling someone was
13:12trailing her, called the police. When the officers arrived, Giyom tried to explain that he knew her,
13:18but as a new resident, the police weren't convinced. Fortunately, Mubi sobered up enough
13:25to vouch for him. On their way back, Mubi confronted Giyom, asking why he hadn't apologized for
13:31disappearing on her. She told him that he should have apologized long ago or everything was just a
13:38joke to him. In response, Giyom finally apologized sincerely and Mubi, without another word, went inside
13:46her house. The next day, Giyom visited the offices of several film directors for interviews as part of
13:53his work as a film critic. After stopping by Songha's office, he also visited Mubi's. As a result,
14:00Mubi was surprised they had parted ways at the bus station earlier that morning. Yet here they were,
14:06meeting again in her office. After asking a few standard questions about her film,
14:11Giyom ventured off topic, asking why her name was Mubi. He pointed out how it sounded like
14:17movie and wondered if it was because she loved films. Mubi replied that she hated films. She hated
14:25how people glorified them, treating them as something worthy of obsession. She became a director to prove
14:32to her father, who had given her the name, that she could make films without romanticizing them.
14:37For her, it was just a job. Feeling the interview had gone on long enough, Mubi tried to end it.
14:43But Giyom surprised her by asking her to watch a movie with him. He said he wanted to learn how to
14:48apologize properly and thought this might be a good way to start. Mubi appreciated the gesture,
14:55but declined. That evening, Giyom waited for Mubi to return home from work. Once she was inside,
15:01he set up a projector to watch a movie on a large white wall in his yard, Mubi,
15:06noticing the strange light outside, stepped out and realized what Giyom had meant earlier by inviting
15:12her to watch a film together. Giyom was the kind of person who lived life at his own pace. He believed
15:19that everyone's life had its own balance. When misfortune struck, good things were bound to follow.
15:26Earlier that day, Giyom's car had broken down. Instead of getting upset, Giyom saw it as an
15:32opportunity to relax and enjoy his favorite snack, boiled corn. Later, as he drove home,
15:39a heavy rain started and his windshield wipers stopped working. Forced to pull over and fix them
15:45himself, Giyom remained optimistic. True to his belief, something good did happen. Mubi appeared,
15:53holding an umbrella and helping him fix the wipers. To Giyom, she was the good thing that followed his
15:59streak of bad luck. Not long after, Giyom was approached by an agency offering to make him
16:05a famous critic. They promised to elevate his career beyond his blog, giving him opportunities
16:11to appear in magazines, on TV, YouTube, and radio. Though Giyom was content with his current achievements,
16:19the lucrative offer was hard to refuse. Soon, he became a well-known film critic,
16:24appearing everywhere. One day, Giyom wrote a scathing review of a film directed by Mubi's uncle,
16:31Yong-sik. The critique was so harsh that the film flopped, losing its audience. Shortly after,
16:39news broke that Yong-sik had attempted to do the unthinkable by overdosing on sleeping pills.
16:45Thankfully, his family rushed him to the hospital, and he survived. The incident left Giyom deeply
16:52unsettled, prompting him to visit Yong-sik at the hospital. Unaware that reporters were swarming the
16:58hospital for the story, Giyom found himself surrounded. They bombarded him with questions
17:05that cornered him. Despite this, Giyom stayed silent, listening to their questions without
17:11responding. Moments later, Yong-sik's daughter arrived and told everyone, especially Giyom,
17:18to leave immediately because her father needed rest. Afterward, Song-ga invited Giyom out for a
17:25drink, having heard about the trouble he was facing. Mubi was also there. As Song-ga tried to
17:30comfort Giyom, a friend suddenly arrived and asked Song-ga to step outside for a smoke, leaving Giyom
17:37and Mubi alone. At that moment, Mubi asked if Giyom was okay, but before he could respond,
17:44another director stormed in, furious at Giyom for having criticized his film in the past.
17:50The director lashed out, saying that if Yong-sik had died from his doing the unthinkable attempt,
17:55it would have been entirely Giyom's fault. Mubi quickly intervened, pulling Giyom out of the
18:02situation. Outside, Mubi told Giyom not to let the director's words bother him. Instead of feeling
18:08relieved that Mubi had defended him, Giyom shrugged it off, saying he wasn't worried.
18:14He argued that Yong-sik's film deserved criticism and that not every film was meant to succeed.
18:21Besides, none of this was his fault. Mubi retorted that Giyom lacked empathy.
18:27This wasn't about the film or whose fault it was, it was about someone being hurt.
18:32She understood that people were looking for a scapegoat, and Giyom had become a target.
18:36Despite this, Giyom accused Mubi of being just like the others, blaming him too.
18:43Mubi fell silent, unable to respond. Before leaving, she told Giyom that she and Song-na
18:49had only wanted to comfort him because they were worried. But Giyom's indifference made it seem
18:55like he didn't care about anyone's feelings but his own. This, she said, was why she couldn't forgive
19:01him and why her dislike for him only grew because he was selfish and oblivious to the people around
19:08him. Later, Mubi visited Yong-sik, her uncle, in the hospital. Fortunately, he was recovering well
19:15and was no longer in critical condition. Mubi asked him what had really happened. Yong-sik explained
19:22that he hadn't tried to do the unthinkable. The media had twisted the story. Recently,
19:27he had been struggling with insomnia and, after drinking heavily, accidentally took too many
19:33sleeping pills. Relieved to hear the truth, Mubi told her uncle to rest and left the room.
19:40As she walked out, Yong-sik mentioned that a film critic had been lingering around, bothering him.
19:46Mubi realized he was talking about Giyom, who was sitting outside in the hospital hallway.
19:52She approached him and asked what he was doing there. Giyom simply said he was waiting for something
19:57good to happen and that something good turned out to be seeing her. In Mubi's mind, seeing Giyom like
20:04this reopened old wounds. She had always been too easily moved by things that seemed sad or pitiful,
20:10like Giyom. In the end, she offered to take him home. On the way, Giyom confessed that he wanted to
20:17fall for her again. He wondered why Mubi, who had always been so cold, had once liked him enough to
20:24kiss him first. It was because of the small gestures of attention Giyom had shown her, which
20:29had slowly won her over. But this time, when Giyom declared his feelings, Mubi rejected him outright.
20:37She even kicked his leg to make sure he understood she wasn't interested in repeating the past.
20:42The next morning, Giyom stared intently at Mubi's house, so much so that June grew suspicious.
20:49June joked that Giyom might be planning to rob their neighbor's house.
20:53In a way, Giyom was after something from that house, the beautiful woman who lived there.
21:00June remarked that Mubi was a good person, surprising Giyom, who hadn't realized June knew her.
21:06June was equally surprised to learn that the girl Giyom had once liked was Mubi.
21:12Sometime later, Songha invited Giyom to a gathering with other directors.
21:17There, Giyom ran into the director who had berated him earlier.
21:21Giyom tried to explain that his intentions as a critic were good.
21:25He wasn't trying to tear anyone down, but to offer constructive feedback to improve the film industry.
21:31Moments later, the director asked why Giyom had become a film critic.
21:36Giyom replied simply, because he loved films.
21:39The director smiled, saying he loved films too, which was why he had become a director.
21:44But now, he was considering quitting because he feared he was starting to hate films.
21:50Giyom's reviews had made him realize he might not be cut out for this field, and he wanted to stop before it was too late.
21:57The night ended with everyone drinking heavily.
22:00The next thing Giyom knew, he woke up in his own room, clutching someone's cardigan.
22:05He had no memory of how he got there or what had happened the night before.
22:09The scene shifts to show that before Giyom returned home, June had struggled when his walking stick got stuck.
22:16Fortunately, Mubi was there to help.
22:19June thanked her, as Mubi had always been kind to him.
22:22When they first moved in, she had also helped him after he was hit by a motorcycle.
22:27Mubi was truly a good-hearted woman.
22:30She remarked that June spoke so politely and gently, unlike Giyom.
22:34Hearing this, June laughed, saying that while Giyom was rough around the edges, he was also thoughtful and kind.
22:43However, recalling Giyom's behavior the previous night, June felt embarrassed in front of Mubi.
22:49Giyom, drunk, had loudly shouted her name, begging her not to block his number.
22:55He had even tugged at her cardigan until it ended up in his hands.
22:58Not long after, Mubi came to retrieve her cardigan.
23:01She warned Giyom that if he caused another drunken scene like last night, she wouldn't hesitate to call the police.
23:09Instead of feeling remorseful, Giyom took it as a sign that Mubi cared about him, even though she could have called the police already.
23:17June was baffled by Giyom's reasoning, wondering if his brother was still drunk.
23:21Later, inside the house, Mubi's mother informed her that one of her father's old friends had called, asking her to organize a community movie night, something her father used to do.
23:33Meanwhile, Giyom learned about this from Zhang Hu, who visited him at home.
23:38As Mubi prepared for the event, she was surprised to see Giyom helping out as part of the staff.
23:43The movie night was a tradition her father had started when Mubi was a child.
23:48Every summer, he would collaborate with filmmakers to set up an outdoor screening for the neighborhood, free of charge.
23:55As the evening approached, everyone gathered to watch the film.
23:59Mubi was annoyed to see Zhang Hu getting along with Giyom, and they even invited her to join them.
24:05At the same time, Mubi's mother noticed how attentive Giyom was to her daughter, sensing there might be something between them.
24:12As the night deepened, Mubi's mother, Zhang Hu, and Jun left early, leaving Mubi and Giyom alone.
24:21At that moment, Mubi observed how engrossed Giyom was in the film.
24:26She asked why he was so captivated, even though he had seen it before.
24:30Giyom replied that each viewing felt different the second, third, or even tenth time.
24:36It was because he loved movies, a word that sounded so much like her name, Mubi.
24:42Hearing this, Mubi found herself drawn in, but it scared her.
24:47She remembered how her father had introduced her to films, his enthusiasm shining through.
24:53Yet, she realized her father hadn't loved her as much as he loved films.
24:58He had always been too busy leaving her behind.
25:01Mubi feared that whenever she started to care for something, it would inevitably leave her.
25:08Unable to bear Giyom's confession and her own emotions, she decided to leave.
25:13In response, Giyom grabbed her hand, but Mubi brushed him off.
25:18Acting quickly, Giyom chased after her, urging her to stop running away.
25:23However, Mubi told him to stop playing games.
25:26Not giving up, Giyom insisted he wasn't, his feelings for her were genuine.
25:33This immediately makes Mubi doubt him, since he once made her heart flutter and gave her hope,
25:39only to disappear without a word.
25:41Giyom interrupted her, asking if that meant she had feelings for him too.
25:46He pointed out that she had been the one to kiss him first, to initiate their connection.
25:51Why was she denying it now?
25:52Well, despite her pulling away, Giyom admitted his feelings hadn't changed.
25:58He still loved her.
25:59He hugged her tightly, declaring that this time, he would be the one to start their relationship.
26:05Giyom had a habit of sudden, dramatic gestures, just like in the melodramatic films he adored.
26:11The next day, Mubi was still confused about what had happened the previous night.
26:16Her mother told her that if she truly liked Giyom, their neighbor, she should accept her feelings.
26:21After all, Giyom was a good man.
26:25Her mother didn't want Mubi to wait too long and regret it, if Giyom eventually gave up and left.
26:32Meanwhile, Giyom went to Songha's office, where he learned that one of the crew members had suddenly passed away from overwork.
26:39The film industry's grueling hours were notorious.
26:43At that moment, Songha also mentioned that whenever there was news of a crew member's death,
26:48it was often linked to the death of Mubi's father.
26:50He, too, had died suddenly on set from exhaustion, and the news had caused quite a stir at the time.
26:58Hearing this, Giyom immediately thought of Mubi.
27:01As he passed by a pizza shop, he decided to call her.
27:05Giyom told her he was at the pizza place near the intersection, close to their homes.
27:09Since Mubi usually avoided him, he suggested that if she wanted, they could accidentally run into each other and share a pizza,
27:19as if he were subtly inviting her to join him.
27:21Giyom then waited for her.
27:23At first, he thought she wouldn't come, so he ordered food for himself.
27:28To his surprise, Mubi actually showed up, and they ended up eating pizza together.
27:33It wasn't just that day, Giyom began paying more attention to Mubi.
27:38Out of the blue, he told her to bring an umbrella on a scorching hot day.
27:42And sure enough, that evening, as Mubi was leaving work, it poured heavily.
27:48Later, Giyom waited for her at a convenience store, pretending their meeting was coincidental,
27:54and they ended up grabbing drinks together.
27:56Eventually, their relationship grew closer, to the point where Mubi didn't hesitate to cook barbecue with Giyom,
28:04and June the three of them even watched movies together in Giyom's backyard.
28:08Every day, Giyom would wait for Mubi to finish work, and they would walk home together.
28:14After parting ways at their respective houses, Giyom suggests that they would accidentally meet again in front of the takoyaki shop.
28:22The next day, Giyom bought flowers, planning to surprise Mubi.
28:26But as he walked, he noticed his brother, June, lost in thought, about to cross the street.
28:33Giyom called out to him, but June didn't respond.
28:36Giyom quickly grabbed his brother, and only then did June snap out his days.
28:42Meanwhile, Mubi waited for Giyom at the takoyaki shop.
28:46The night grew late, and the shop eventually closed.
28:50In the end, Mubi returned home with a head full of questions, wondering why Giyom hadn't shown up or contacted her.
28:58At home, June apologized to Giyom.
29:00He admitted he had been lost in thought, but assured Giyom he was fine.
29:05Giyom asked why June never seemed shocked or scared, even when everyone around him was panicking.
29:11June always remained calm, as if nothing ever bothered him.
29:14Even after waking up from his coma, following the accident, June had been unfazed.
29:21Giyom wanted to ask him something more, but he held back and decided to go calm himself instead.
29:26The next morning, Giyom was startled to find June sleeping beside him.
29:31June said it had been a long time since they'd slept in the same room, and he apologized to Giyom.
29:36At that moment, Giyom found it a little strange, he wasn't a child anymore, and sharing a bed with his brother felt odd.
29:44As they prepared for breakfast, Jong-hu suddenly arrived with boiled potatoes for them to share.
29:50He had come hoping to hang out with Mubi, but she had told him she was busy.
29:54As a result, Giyom remembered he still hadn't contacted Mubi to explain what had happened.
30:00Giyom was about to send her a message when, unexpectedly, Mubi showed up at their door.
30:06She asked if Giyom was busy that day, as she had some work that required his help.
30:11Giyom replied that as long as he was with her, he would never be too busy.
30:16In the end, the two left together in Giyom's car.
30:19While Giyom and Mubi were away, Jong-hu stayed behind with June Jong-hu,
30:24suggested they watch a movie together, but June suddenly fell asleep.
30:28He seemed utterly exhausted, so Jong-hu helped him to his room to rest.
30:32On the other hand, Giyom and Mubi drove to a distant location.
30:38They passed through a breathtaking field of flowers, but then Giyom's car broke down again.
30:44Stranded in the middle of nowhere, they had to wait for a mechanic to arrive.
30:49As they waited, Mubi remarked that despite being busy, they had run into yet another misfortune.
30:55Giyom quickly pointed out that they were supposed to be out for fun, not work.
30:59After all, if Mubi had really been planning to work, she would have brought her work materials.
31:06This meant she had intentionally asked him out.
31:08Mubi smiled, admitting that she had indeed wanted to spend time with Giyom
31:13because there was something she needed to talk about.
31:16At one moment, Mubi finally asked about the reason Giyom had disappeared five years ago.
31:21Was it because of his brother?
31:23At first, Mubi hadn't given it much thought,
31:26but after seeing June's condition, she began to piece things together.
31:31Giyom was puzzled why she was only asking now.
31:34Mubi explained that she had avoided digging into complicated matters,
31:38especially since she disliked getting close to people who might leave her.
31:43She hated those who disappeared without a word.
31:46Yet, the more she got to know Giyom,
31:48even though he did things she didn't like,
31:50she found herself increasingly drawn to him.
31:53In the end, Mubi admitted she had feelings for Giyom.
31:58Giyom fell silent, stunned.
32:01He hadn't expected his life with Mubi to feel so much like a melodrama.
32:06Overcome with emotion, he leaned in and kissed her.
32:10Giyom was certain their story would have a happy ending.
32:14One morning during breakfast, June wanted to tell Giyom something.
32:18It turned out that, according to the doctor, June's condition was concerning.
32:22His heart and lung function had declined significantly,
32:26which explained why he often seemed so tired, lost in thought, or suddenly fell asleep.
32:33June thought it might be because he had stopped going to rehabilitation.
32:37Despite this, he assured Giyom not to worry,
32:40as he would be fine if he resumed his treatments.
32:43Though Giyom nodded, deep down he was anxious.
32:47June had never been one to show his emotions.
32:49After their parents passed away, June had dedicated his life to taking care of Giyom.
32:56At just 20 years old, June had sacrificed his youth,
32:59working tirelessly to support them.
33:02June had once been scolded by his boss,
33:04but he hadn't reacted with anger or sadness.
33:08He simply accepted it quietly.
33:10The only time Giyom ever saw his brother express emotion
33:13was when they watched sad movies together.
33:16June would cry.
33:16In the past, Giyom had noticed that June had saved up a significant amount of money.
33:22When Giyom asked what June planned to buy,
33:24June instead asked what Giyom wanted.
33:27It seemed June's entire life revolved around Giyom,
33:30spending his days off sleeping or watching TV with him,
33:33as if his sole purpose was to be by Giyom's side.
33:37Then, suddenly, June had been in an accident.
33:40During June's time in the hospital,
33:42not a single friend or lover came to visit him.
33:45It was then that Giyom realized how lonely his brother's life had been.
33:50He also came to understand that he didn't truly know June as well as he thought.
33:55Determined to uncover the cause of the accident,
33:58Giyom spent days retracing June's steps around the scene,
34:01but he found no answers.
34:03He even began to wonder if June had intentionally caused the accident to do the unthinkable.
34:08Back in the present, as Giyom was lost in these thoughts,
34:13Mubi suddenly appeared and snapped him out of it.
34:16Giyom immediately went to her and hugged her tightly.
34:20Mubi reminded him to be careful,
34:22as her mother lived across the street and could see them together.
34:26Giyom then joked that ever since they officially started dating,
34:30Mubi had started acting like a tough guy,
34:32calling him names instead of sweet nothings.
34:35He longed to hear her call him honey, but the thought made Mubi cringe.
34:40As usual, Giyom walked Mubi to the bus station before heading to her mother's butcher shop.
34:46Besides buying meat, he also introduced himself as Mubi's new boyfriend.
34:51Apparently, Giyom was confident Mubi's mother would approve of their relationship.
34:56Not only that, Mubi's mother had always known this day would come,
35:00though she wasn't sure if Giyom could handle her daughter's strong personality.
35:05Mubi might seem gentle on the outside, but she was a resilient woman.
35:10If Giyom expected her to be soft and submissive, their relationship would never work.
35:15But Giyom was certain he could handle Mubi.
35:18He loved her precisely because of her strength.
35:21Mubi's mother then asked Giyom about his weaknesses.
35:25From what she could see, Giyom was cheerful, kind-hearted,
35:29and had his life together almost too perfect.
35:33She wanted to know if he had any flaws.
35:36Giyom admitted that he often struggled with thoughts he couldn't express or resolve.
35:41Mubi's mother advised him to share those thoughts with others, even if they sounded harsh or painful.
35:47Keeping everything bottled up, she warned, would only lead to more problems.
35:52That evening, as they prepared dinner,
35:55Jianghu mentioned that Jun wanted to eat out and had already reserved a table in a nice restaurant.
36:00Giyom was surprised.
36:02Jun usually preferred to stay home and eat soup.
36:05Since Mubi had just returned from work, the four of them went out for a meal together.
36:10The next day, Jun unexpectedly asked Giyom if he was busy.
36:14If not, Jun wanted to go out and enjoy some fresh air.
36:19Though puzzled by his brother's sudden request, Giyom took him out anyway.
36:23Jun even suggested stopping by a cafe owned by one of Giyom's friends from the film studio.
36:28Later, Jun invited a few friends over to watch a movie at home.
36:33It was unusual for Jun to express so many emotions and desires all at once.
36:38Then, one night, Jun announced that he wanted to travel abroad.
36:42Guiyom agreed, but insisted they wait until Jun's health improved.
36:47Jun refused, saying he was fine and had already found some cheap flights for the following month.
36:53Guiyom grew frustrated and asked why Jun had been acting so strangely lately,
36:58suddenly wanting to do so many things.
37:02His behavior made it seem like he was preparing to leave soon.
37:06Jun countered by asking why Guiyom wouldn't just let him do what he wanted.
37:09He then admitted that he didn't know how much time he had left.
37:13He could feel death approaching.
37:16Jun explained that he wanted Guiyom to be prepared for what was coming.
37:20It turned out that Guiyom knew Jun wasn't just fulfilling last wishes before death.
37:25He was worried about leaving Guiyom behind.
37:27All this time, Guiyom had suffered greatly, doing everything he could to keep his brother alive.
37:33But now, Jun wanted Guiyom to help him die peacefully.
37:37This made Guiyom feel as though Jun hadn't considered his feelings at all.
37:42In the heat of the moment, Guiyom lost control of his emotions and accidentally spilled hot water on his hand.
37:49Jun immediately rushed to get a wet towel to soothe the burn.
37:54Even in the middle of their argument, Jun was still worrying about Guiyom, which only frustrated Guiyom more.
38:00He snapped, asking Jun if he had ever truly tried to stay alive.
38:05It felt like Jun was in a hurry to leave this world, abandoning Guiyom when he still needed his brother.
38:12As Guiyom stormed out, Jun broke down in tears.
38:15Later that night, Guiyom wandered out into the pouring rain.
38:19Coincidentally, Mu B was just returning from work.
38:23Seeing Guiyom standing alone in the rain, she didn't ask any questions.
38:27She simply held an umbrella over him and led him to her car.
38:32Shortly after, Jun was readmitted to the hospital for treatment.
38:37At the same time, Jiang who helped Guiyom pack the necessary items to bring to the hospital.
38:42While gathering Jun's belongings, Jiang who almost packed a diary, which Guiyom quickly took.
38:48Jiang who mentioned that he often saw Jun reading it, so he assumed it belonged to him.
38:53Curious, Guiyom opened the diary and discovered that Jun had written something for him.
38:59In the diary, Jun wrote that he had once believed he had no desires of his own.
39:05But after their parents passed away, he realized how much Guiyom needed him.
39:09From that moment, Jun decided to dedicate his life to making Guiyom happy.
39:15He wanted to ensure Guiyom would never feel lonely.
39:18Jun worked tirelessly, sacrificing his youth, all for his younger brother.
39:23He worked from morning till night, driven solely by the desire to see Guiyom happy.
39:29Seeing Guiyom's smile brought him joy.
39:31Jun even allowed himself to show anger when others looked down on Guiyom.
39:36Everything Jun did in life was for Guiyom, which was why he wanted to keep living.
39:41He wanted to stay by Guiyom's side.
39:43However, as time passed, Jun couldn't keep his promise to stay alive.
39:47He passed away during a delayed rehabilitation attempt.
39:52Guiyom, too, failed to keep his promise to take Jun on a trip.
39:56After Jun's death, Guiyom continued living as usual.
40:00Not much changed in his life, except that his friends now frequently checked on him,
40:05sending messages to express their concern.
40:08During this time, Guiyom spent most of his time with Mubi.
40:11They often ate together, chatting and laughing over trivial things, just like any other couple.
40:19But lately, Mubi had grown anxious whenever she saw Guiyom lost in thought, staring into the distance.
40:26She couldn't let this continue.
40:28One evening, Mubi looked deeply into Guiyom's eyes and told him she was transferring her energy to him,
40:35hoping to give him the strength to face life with renewed vigor.
40:39After Mubi went inside, she glanced back at Guiyom, who hesitated before entering the house.
40:45But in that moment, she felt certain he would be okay.
40:49The next morning, Guiyom was at Songha's office.
40:52This was where he often spent his time playing around with Songha,
40:56who never got angry even when Guiyom criticized his films.
41:00The two of them would talk and joke around for hours.
41:03Meanwhile, Mubi waited for Guiyom to come home that night,
41:07but he never showed up.
41:09She assumed he was busy with work.
41:11Jianghu, who was there, pointed out that it was unlikely Guiyom was working late,
41:16as freelancers like him usually stayed home.
41:19Since Jun's passing, Guiyom had been acting strangely,
41:23pretending everything was fine when, in reality, he was suffering alone.
41:28Mubi sighed, saying that maybe Guiyom just needed some time to himself.
41:33Suddenly, Jianghu hugged Mubi.
41:36He reminded her that she had always been there for him in the past.
41:40Jianghu apologized for not being there when Mubi was alone and grieving the loss of her father.
41:47Later that night, as Mubi woke up from her sleep,
41:50she checked her phone and saw a message from Guiyom, saying he had returned home.
41:54When she glanced toward his house, it was completely dark, with no lights on.
41:59Mubi assumed Guiyom had already fallen asleep.
42:02The next morning, as she woke up, Mubi saw Guiyom, sitting in his car, lost in thought.
42:09Mubi immediately went to him and realized he had been sleeping in the car instead of inside the house.
42:16Guiyom was silent for a moment, trying to sort through his emotions.
42:20He finally said that his house felt empty.
42:23Mubi understood what he meant, but she wished he had confided in her sooner.
42:27It seemed like Guiyom was pushing her away, refusing her concern.
42:32He insisted he was fine now, but Mubi stopped in her tracks,
42:36not wanting to make him uncomfortable by worrying too much.
42:39That night, when Guiyom still refused to go inside, Mubi joined him in the car.
42:44She didn't say much.
42:46She simply wanted to transfer her energy to him, hoping to give him strength.
42:50She also suggested that the next morning, they should go home together.
42:56What she meant was that she would temporarily move into Guiyom's house.
43:00She planned to treat his home as her new office, coming back to sleep there often.
43:06She hoped Guiyom would welcome her and even make her a warm bowl of soup,
43:10giving them a glimpse of what their married life might look like.
43:12At work, Mubi reminded Guiyom that she would be coming home early and hoped he would be there to greet her.
43:20However, that day turned out to be busier than expected, and she ended up working late.
43:25When she finally arrived at Guiyom's house, it was completely dark.
43:30Panicking, Mubi thought Guiyom wasn't home.
43:33She was startled when Guiyom appeared, holding a candle.
43:37It turned out he hadn't paid the electricity bill, and the power had been cut off.
43:41Mubi, who had been on edge, burst into tears.
43:46She had been genuinely scared, thinking Guiyom wasn't there.
43:50Through her tears, she told him that he wasn't alone anymore.
43:54She was by his side because she had truly fallen in love with him.
43:58Even though Mubi was staying at Guiyom's house, they slept in separate rooms.
44:03But one night, Guiyom woke up and found Mubi sleeping soundly in his room.
44:08Without thinking twice, he sat beside her and fell back asleep.
44:13The next morning, when Guiyom woke up, he noticed Mubi was already awake but pretending to still be asleep.
44:20Guiyom leaned in, intending to kiss her, but Mubi suddenly sat up, saying they shouldn't do such things on the bed.
44:27Guiyom smirked mischievously, pulling her toward the wall instead and kissing her there.
44:33If the bed was off-limits, he figured there were other places.
44:37In a soft voice, Mubi asked if it would be better for her to stay there forever.
44:43Guiyom was startled by her words, which annoyed Mubi.
44:46He asked what she meant by wanting to live together permanently.
44:50Mubi explained that as long as her mother didn't find out, they could live together.
44:55Unbeknownst to them, Mubi's mother happened to step outside and overheard their conversation.
45:01She pretended not to notice and quickly left.
45:05As Mubi left for work, Guiyom stayed behind to clean the house.
45:09He decided to get rid of June's wheelchair, walking stick, and favorite chair,
45:14fearing that the memories of his brother would make it even harder for him to stay in the house.
45:18Meanwhile, at the office, Mubi received bad news.
45:22Her film project had been canceled because the investor ran out of funds.
45:27Mubi had to face the harsh reality that the melodrama she had been so passionate about would not move forward.
45:34With mixed emotions, Mubi returned to her mother's house.
45:38When she arrived, her mother commented on her finally coming home after staying over at Guiyom's place.
45:44Mubi apologized and explained that nothing inappropriate had happened.
45:48She simply wanted to support Guiyom during this difficult time after June's passing.
45:54However, her mother pointed out that if Guiyom was the one struggling,
45:59why did Mubi look so downcast herself?
46:02Finally, Mubi admitted that her film project had been canceled.
46:06Her mother was shocked, but even more disappointed that Mubi seemed ready to give up so easily.
46:12Unlike her father, who had always fought for his films until the very end,
46:17Mubi was willing to walk away.
46:20Her mother reminded her that giving up halfway meant abandoning the people who had worked hard alongside her.
46:27Mubi responded bitterly, saying she wasn't as foolish as her father.
46:31He had loved films so much that he neglected his own child.
46:35He had never cared about her, only working himself to the bone for meager pay.
46:39Her mother might have accepted his behavior, but Mubi never could.
46:44She even hated her name, a gift from her father that now felt like a sad reminder of his neglect.
46:50The next day, Mubi went to Songha's office to seek advice.
46:55Songha had also faced canceled projects in the past.
46:58He told her that when he was younger, he didn't let setbacks stop him.
47:02He kept searching for investors and fighting for his films,
47:05which was how he had reached his current position.
47:07Songha added that Mubi was still a new director.
47:11If she gave up after facing just one obstacle, she would never succeed.
47:16He encouraged her to approach other production companies or find new investors.
47:21If she truly wanted to tell her story, she needed to fight harder.
47:25Not long after, Mubi returned to her office and looked over her work.
47:30She began to wonder if she should really give up.
47:32Exhausted, she eventually fell asleep and dreamed of her father.
47:38In the dream, she asked him why he had become a filmmaker.
47:42He explained that he had stories he wanted to tell.
47:45When Mubi woke up, she felt restless.
47:48Every time she dreamed of her father, she was left with a lingering sense of fear and anxiety.
47:54In response, she decided to go see Guillaume, who had already heard about her struggles from Songha.
48:00Without saying a word, Guillaume pulled her into a hug and told her he was transferring his energy to her.
48:07On their way home, Guillaume kept trying to cheer Mubi up.
48:10He was confident that she would be okay and that she would eventually bring her dream melodrama to life.
48:16However, he couldn't help but ask why it had to be a melodrama.
48:21Mubi smiled bitterly and explained that melodramas were about people who loved each other.
48:27Since she was a child, her father had always told her stories about love,
48:31which might be why she longed to be loved so much.
48:35After a moment of silence, Mubi finally spoke in a soft voice,
48:39asking if Guillaume would still like her if she shared her secret.
48:43Guillaume fell silent as Mubi continued.
48:46Confessing that she felt her father's death was her fault.
48:50After Mubi opened up about her fears,
48:53Guillaume realized that sometimes you have to voice your thoughts to truly understand them.
48:58It turned out that Mubi shared a similar fate with him.
49:01They both carried childhood traumas.
49:04With a trembling voice, Mubi began to tell her story.
49:08She had hated her father.
49:10He was always busy with his films.
49:12Every year on her birthday, he was never there.
49:14Even when they watched movies together, he would let go of her hand to chat with his colleagues,
49:20prioritizing his film world over her.
49:23The growing disappointment led Mubi to decide she would never acknowledge him in front of anyone.
49:29She chose to hate him.
49:30But one night, everything changed.
49:33Her father was scammed by an investor.
49:35And for the first time, Mubi saw him cry.
49:38Though hatred still filled her heart, she couldn't bear to see him in such a state.
49:43Not long after, devastating news arrived.
49:47Her father had passed away.
49:49Mubi was shattered and felt it was all her fault.
49:52Even though she had spent her life hating him, deep down, she never wanted to lose him.
49:57All she had ever wanted was a father who would love her.
50:01Mubi and Guillaume spent the rest of the evening under the night sky,
50:05gazing at the twinkling stars in silence.
50:08Mubi asked why Guillaume loved films so much.
50:10After a pause, Guillaume admitted it was because he was terrified of being alone.
50:16That was the secret he had kept hidden.
50:19Growing up, he had been afraid of being left behind by his brother.
50:22June films became his escape, something that was always there for him.
50:27It was hard for Guillaume to pretend to be cheerful all the time,
50:31especially when the fear of losing June haunted him.
50:34Even when he found out that June had considered doing the unthinkable, Guillaume had stayed silent.
50:40Fear consumed him, fear that it was all his fault.
50:44Mubi sighed and whispered that death was truly heartbreaking.
50:48The next day, as Mubi's mother was about to leave the house,
50:52Guillaume arrived with flowers, not just a bouquet, but an entire cart full of them.
50:57He knew Mubi's mother loved flowers, but she refused them, saying she didn't want to plant them alone.
51:04Guillaume ended up planting the flowers in Mubi's yard himself.
51:08As they chatted, Mubi's mother asked if Guillaume still struggled to express what he wanted to say.
51:14Guillaume smiled bitterly, saying the person who usually listened to him was no longer there.
51:20Mubi's mother looked at him gently and said that even if they couldn't be seen, they were still there.
51:25However, something bothered her.
51:28She was a little disappointed that Mubi had chosen someone so similar to herself.
51:34If Guillaume was truly worthy of Mubi, he needed to listen to her heart from time to time.
51:39After all, Mubi, just like Guillaume, had no one else to lean on.
51:44As Mubi's mother left, Mubi waited for her return while gazing at the flowers Guillaume had just planted.
51:51When her mother came back, Mubi asked what her father had been like.
51:56Her mother smiled faintly and said that her husband had often suffered more than he had been happy, but she understood him.
52:03He had never given up.
52:05Mubi's father had made films to show the world to her.
52:08He told beautiful stories.
52:11In truth, Mubi was very much like her father.
52:14Her mother could see it in the works Mubi created.
52:17She was kind-hearted, just like her father, unlike her mother.
52:22All this time, her mother had never been particularly kind to Mubi.
52:26If only she had been more attentive, perhaps Mubi wouldn't have had to endure her struggles alone.
52:33Mubi realized that they had been living together all this time.
52:36After her father's passing, her mother had become the sole breadwinner, raising Mubi on her own.
52:42Yet, her mother had never complained and had always been there for her, even if she wasn't always the most attentive.
52:50Mubi broke down in tears in front of her mother and asked if she hated her.
52:55She apologized for underestimating her mother's love, even though her mother had always given her everything.
53:01Mubi's mother took her hand and promised to be more attentive to her daughter.
53:06She wanted them to live happily together, forever.
53:10Meanwhile, Guillaume made a big decision.
53:12He sold all the films he had collected over the years, some to Jianghu and the rest to Songha.
53:19After clearing everything out, Guillaume sat on his porch, speaking as if to his brother.
53:24All this time, Guillaume had known so little about June, he pleaded for June to visit him in his dreams, just once.
53:32Promising he wouldn't be angry, he just wanted to see his brother one more time.
53:36Tears streamed down his face.
53:39There were so many things Guillaume hadn't had the chance to tell his brother.
53:42He hadn't even kept his promise to him.
53:45This time, Guillaume vowed to live well for June's sake, as he had learned how to survive.
53:50After overcoming their sorrowful times, Mubi and Guillaume finally managed to face their challenges together.
53:58Guillaume quit his job as a film critic and tried his hand at office work.
54:03Though he had no experience, he remained determined and kept pushing forward.
54:08Meanwhile, Mubi successfully launched her film.
54:11Though it wasn't a huge success, she refused to give up.
54:14Song Ngah, who had transitioned into producing, eventually agreed to invest in Mubi's projects.
54:22He said he would always support young directors in pursuing their craft.
54:26Now, with no films to critique or watch, Guillaume spent more time hanging around Mubi's film sets.
54:33To him, the only movie in his life, now, was Mubi.
54:37Every moment they spent together felt like a film, with genres that constantly shifted.
54:42Sometimes it was a tear-jerker, then suddenly it turned into an absurd action comedy.
54:49But the best genre of all remained the melodrama.
54:52The story of their melodrama concluded with a sweet kiss between Guillaume and Mubi.
54:57Moral lesson from the story, if your car breaks down in a flower field, just pretend it's a romantic date,
55:03because nothing says love like roadside emergencies.
55:06And remember, when life leaves you stranded, at least make sure you're stuck with someone who can make you laugh or push the car.
