400. about relationships
between people.Copy !req
401. I think it comes from buddhismCopy !req
402. and reincarnation.Copy !req
403. It's an In-Yun,Copy !req
404. if two strangers even walk by
each other in the streetCopy !req
405. and their clothes
accidentally brush.Copy !req
406. BecauseCopy !req
407. it means there must have been
something between themCopy !req
408. in their past lives.Copy !req
409. If two people get married,Copy !req
410. they say it's because there
have been 8,000 layersCopy !req
411. of In-Yun.Copy !req
412. Over 8,000 lifetimes.Copy !req
413. You believe in that?Copy !req
414. Believe what?Copy !req

421. Yeah, wouldn't that make thisCopy !req
422. an In-Yun?Copy !req
423. Mm...Copy !req
424. - Mm-mm.
- Mm.Copy !req
425. That's just
something Koreans sayCopy !req

485. Your first love.
I thought she lives there.Copy !req
486. You gonna see her now that
you broke up with your girlfriend?Copy !req
487. You think I'm nuts?
She's married.Copy !req
488. Really?Copy !req
489. Hmm.Copy !req
490. I think it's been
about seven years.Copy !req
491. She married early.Copy !req
492. Ah, you poor bastard.Copy !req
493. What?Copy !req
494. It's going to rain
the whole time you're there.Copy !req
495. Look. "Severe thunderstorm".Copy !req
496. Hey, don't forget
your rain boots and raincoat.Copy !req
497. It really does say
"severe thunderstorm."Copy !req
498. Uh, trunk? Trunk?Copy !req
499. Hae Sung!Copy !req
500. Woah. It's you.Copy !req
501. Ah, what can I do?Copy !req
502. What should I say?Copy !req
503. I don't know.Copy !req
504. Was the last time we talked
twelve years ago?Copy !req
505. Glad the weather is nice today.Copy !req
506. You're right.Copy !req
507. Should we go?Copy !req
508. Yes.Copy !req
509. Before I got married,Copy !req
510. I went to Korea with my husband.Copy !req
511. I know.Copy !req
512. I emailed you,Copy !req
513. but you didn't respond.Copy !req
514. I wanted to see you.Copy !req
515. I was disappointed.Copy !req
516. I'm sorry.Copy !req
517. I wanted
to meet your girlfriend, too.Copy !req
518. How are you two doing?Copy !req
519. We're not together right now.Copy !req
520. You broke up?Copy !req
521. No.Copy !req
522. It's not that.Copy !req
523. We just need time to think.Copy !req
524. We just started talking
about getting married.Copy !req
525. Do you not want to get married?Copy !req
526. I don't know.Copy !req
527. If you love her,
why don't you know?Copy !req
528. It's a little complicated.Copy !req
529. What's complicated?Copy !req
530. The conditions are not met.Copy !req
531. What do you mean?Copy !req
532. I'm an only child.Copy !req
533. If you're going to marry
an only son,Copy !req
534. he should make more money
and be better.Copy !req
535. I'm too ordinary.Copy !req
536. You're ordinary?Copy !req
537. My job is ordinary,
my income is ordinary.Copy !req
538. It's all ordinary.Copy !req
539. She should meet someone
more impressive than me.Copy !req
540. Is it hard to get married
if you don't make a ton of money?Copy !req
541. At first we didn't think so,Copy !req
542. but then
we started thinking that way.Copy !req
543. Want me to take a photo of you?Copy !req
544. Okay.Copy !req
545. You look good.Copy !req
546. Would you and your husband
come out here often on dates?Copy !req
547. Hmm.Copy !req
548. We lived near here before
we moved to the east village.Copy !req
549. We did all our dating here.Copy !req
550. We would fight here, too.Copy !req
551. - You two fight?
- Oh yeah, we don't fuck around.Copy !req
552. Why do you fight?Copy !req
553. Just because.Copy !req
554. It's like planting two trees
in one pot.Copy !req
555. Our roots
need to find their place.Copy !req
556. Does your husband
get along with your family?Copy !req
557. Yeah. He plays hwa-too
with them all the time.Copy !req
558. He plays Hwa-Woo?Copy !req
559. Of course.Copy !req
560. He knows how?Copy !req
561. He's good.Copy !req
562. Is his korean good, too?Copy !req
563. No.Copy !req
564. But he can say a few things.Copy !req
565. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
566. His favorite food
is Yook-Gae-Jung.Copy !req
567. Yook-Gae-Jung?
He's not fucking around.Copy !req
568. He's not fucking around.Copy !req
569. Do you and your girlfriend...Copy !req
570. Fight?Copy !req
571. No.Copy !req
572. She's not really
my girlfriend right now.Copy !req
573. You should get married well.Copy !req
574. You're worrying about me?Copy !req
575. Getting married is hard for
idealistic people like you.Copy !req
576. Hey, I'm not so old
that you should worry.Copy !req
577. Hae Sung.Copy !req
578. Hmm?Copy !req
579. Why did you look for me?Copy !req
580. - 12 years ago?
- Hmm.Copy !req
581. Do you really want to know?Copy !req
582. I just wanted to see you
one more time.Copy !req
583. I don't know.Copy !req
584. Because you just left
so suddenly...Copy !req
585. I was a little pissed off.Copy !req
586. Sorry.Copy !req
587. What are you sorry about?Copy !req
588. You're right. There's nothing
to be sorry about.Copy !req
589. You disappeared from my life,
and I just bam...Copy !req
590. Found you again.Copy !req
591. Why would you do that?Copy !req
592. I don't know.Copy !req
593. Just because...Copy !req
594. You kept entering my mind
when I was in the military.Copy !req
595. I see.Copy !req
596. We were babies then.Copy !req
597. Right.Copy !req
598. And when we met 12 years ago,Copy !req
599. we were babies then, too.Copy !req
600. We're not babies anymore.Copy !req
601. - Hi.
- Hi, my love.Copy !req
602. How was it?Copy !req
603. You were right.Copy !req
604. I was?Copy !req
605. Yeah.Copy !req
606. He came here to see me.Copy !req
607. It's so crazy to see him
be this grown-up manCopy !req
608. with a normal job
and a normal life.Copy !req
609. He's so korean.Copy !req
610. He still lives with his parents,Copy !req
611. which is really korean.Copy !req
612. And he has all these
really korean viewsCopy !req
613. about everything.Copy !req
614. And I feel so not korean
when I'm with him.Copy !req
615. But also,Copy !req
616. in some way, more korean?Copy !req
617. It's so weird.Copy !req
618. I mean, I have korean friends,Copy !req
619. but he's not, like,
korean-American.Copy !req
620. He's korean-korean.Copy !req
621. Is he attractive?Copy !req
622. I think so.Copy !req
623. He's really masculine
in this wayCopy !req
624. that I think is so korean.Copy !req
625. Are you attracted to him?Copy !req
626. I don't think so.Copy !req
627. I don't know, I mean...Copy !req
628. I don't think so.Copy !req
629. He was just this kid in my headCopy !req
630. for such a long time,Copy !req
631. and then he was just this
image on my laptop,Copy !req
632. and now he's a physical person.Copy !req
633. It's really intense,Copy !req
634. but I don't think
that that's attraction.Copy !req
635. I think I just missed him a lot.Copy !req
636. I think I missed Seoul.Copy !req
637. Did he miss you?Copy !req
638. I think he missed
the 12-year-old crybabyCopy !req
639. he knew a long time ago.Copy !req
640. You were a crybaby?Copy !req
641. Yeah.Copy !req
642. Most of the time he'd have to
just stand there and watch me.Copy !req
643. When is he leaving again?Copy !req
644. Morning after tomorrow.Copy !req
645. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
646. Are you mad?Copy !req
647. No.Copy !req
648. It feels like you are.Copy !req
649. I don't have a right to be mad.Copy !req
650. What do you mean?
Of course, you do.Copy !req
651. No...Copy !req
652. That guy flew
13 hours to be here.Copy !req
653. I'm not gonna tell youCopy !req
654. that you can't see him
or something.Copy !req
655. He's your childhood sweetheart.Copy !req
656. And it's not like you're gonna
run away with him.Copy !req
657. Are you?Copy !req
658. Definitely. I'm gonna
throw away my life here...Copy !req
659. and run away with him to Seoul.Copy !req
660. Do you even know me?Copy !req
661. I'm not gonna miss
my rehearsals for some dude.Copy !req
662. I know.Copy !req
663. I know you.Copy !req
664. What?Copy !req
665. I was just thinking about
what a good story this is.Copy !req
666. - The story of Hae Sung and me?
- Yeah.Copy !req
667. I just can't compete.Copy !req
668. What do you mean?Copy !req
669. Childhood sweethearts
who reconnect 20 years laterCopy !req
670. only to realize they were
meant for each other.Copy !req
671. - We're not meant for each other.
- I know.Copy !req
672. I know. In the story,
I would be the evil white American husbandCopy !req
673. standing in the way of destiny.Copy !req
674. Shut up.Copy !req
675. What do you not like about it?
Our story's just so boring.Copy !req
676. We met at an artists' residency.Copy !req
677. Slept together because we both
happened to be single.Copy !req
678. We realized
we both live in New York,Copy !req
679. so, we moved in together
to save money on rent.Copy !req
680. We got married so you could
get a green card. So...Copy !req
681. Oh, you make it sound
so romantic.Copy !req
682. Right, that's what I'm saying.Copy !req
683. I'm the guy
you leave in the storyCopy !req
684. when your ex-lover
comes to take you away.Copy !req
685. He's not my ex-lover.Copy !req
686. What if you met somebody elseCopy !req
687. at that residency?Copy !req
688. What if there was
another writer from New YorkCopy !req
689. who had also read
all the same books you had,Copy !req
690. and watched all the same movies,Copy !req
691. who could give you
useful notes on your plays,Copy !req
692. and listen to you complain
about your rehearsals?Copy !req
693. - That's not how life works.
- Oh.Copy !req
694. Yeah.Copy !req
695. But wouldn't you be
laying here with him?Copy !req
696. This is my life,
and I'm living it with you.Copy !req
697. Are you happy with it?Copy !req
698. Is this what you
imagined for yourselfCopy !req
699. when you left Seoul?Copy !req
700. When I was a 12-year-old?Copy !req
701. Yeah. Is this what
you pictured for yourself?Copy !req
702. Lying in bed in someCopy !req
703. tiny apartment
in the east villageCopy !req
704. with some Jewish guy
who writes books?Copy !req
705. Is that what your parents
wanted for you?Copy !req
706. You're asking me if you,
Arthur zaturansky,Copy !req
707. are the answer to
my family's immigrant dream?Copy !req
708. - Yeah.
- Wow.Copy !req
709. I know.Copy !req
710. This is where we ended up.Copy !req
711. This is where
I'm supposed to be.Copy !req
712. Okay.Copy !req
713. What?Copy !req
714. It's just that you make
my life so much bigger.Copy !req
715. And I'm wondering if I do
the same thing for you.Copy !req
716. You do.Copy !req
717. I'm just a girl from Korea,
you know?Copy !req
718. And you're forgetting the part
where I love you.Copy !req
719. I don't forget that.Copy !req
720. I have trouble
believing it sometimes.Copy !req
721. Do you know
you only speak in koreanCopy !req
722. when you talk in your sleep?Copy !req
723. - I do?
- Yeah.Copy !req
724. You never sleep talk in English.Copy !req
725. You only dream in korean.Copy !req
726. I didn't know that.Copy !req
727. Yeah.Copy !req
728. You never told me that.Copy !req
729. Well, sometimes
I think it's cute.Copy !req
730. Sometimes, I don't know,Copy !req
731. I guess I get scared.Copy !req
732. Scared of what?Copy !req
733. You dream in a language
that I can't understand.Copy !req
734. It's like
there's this whole placeCopy !req
735. inside of you where I can't go.Copy !req
736. I think that's why I've
been trying to learn korean,Copy !req
737. even though I know
it's annoying for you.Copy !req
738. You want to understand me
when I'm dreaming?Copy !req
739. Yeah.Copy !req
740. I'm sure I'm just
saying gibberish.Copy !req
741. - Hey.
- Hey.Copy !req
742. Did you get home
safe last night?Copy !req
743. Yeah.Copy !req
744. Sorry I'm late.Copy !req
745. Did you eat something?Copy !req
746. No.Copy !req
747. Eat this.Copy !req
748. Is it for me?Copy !req
749. I wanted to ask you yesterday...Copy !req
750. What prize do you
want to win nowadays?Copy !req
751. Hmm?Copy !req
752. When you were little,
you wanted to win the nobel prize,Copy !req
753. and 12 years ago you
wanted to win the pulitzer.Copy !req
754. What do you want to win now?Copy !req
755. I haven't thought
of things like that recently.Copy !req
756. Really?Copy !req
757. Then think about it
for a moment.Copy !req
758. There must be an award you want.Copy !req
759. A Tony.Copy !req
760. You really are exactly
the same as I remember you.Copy !req
761. Still psycho?Copy !req
762. Still psycho.Copy !req
763. A little bit to your left.Copy !req
764. One, two... three!Copy !req
765. One more.Copy !req
766. Why are you taking it
so close up?Copy !req
767. Fine. Go back a little bit.Copy !req
768. She's turned against us.Copy !req
769. Hold on.Copy !req
770. You look young.Copy !req
771. Because of my green card,Copy !req
772. we got married
a little earlier than planned.Copy !req
773. He knows I'm coming over?Copy !req
774. Of course.Copy !req
775. He knows who I am?Copy !req
776. Of course!Copy !req
777. He wants to meet you.Copy !req
778. Come in.Copy !req
779. Um...Copy !req
780. Hello.Copy !req
781. Nice to meet you.Copy !req
782. Uh, hi.
Nice to meet you, also.Copy !req
783. His korean is good.Copy !req
784. No.Copy !req
785. Uh...Copy !req
786. Are you hungry?Copy !req
787. Are you hungry?Copy !req
788. - Hmm?
- Oh...Copy !req
789. Hungry?Copy !req
790. Ah, oh. Yes.Copy !req
791. What would you like to eat?Copy !req
792. Uh...Copy !req
793. Pasta?Copy !req
794. Pasta? Yeah.Copy !req
795. You like pasta?Copy !req
796. Yes.Copy !req
797. - Okay.
- Okay.Copy !req
798. - Let's get pasta.
- Pasta.Copy !req
799. What did you two do today?Copy !req
800. Uh...Copy !req
801. The statue of Liberty.Copy !req
802. You took the ferry.Copy !req
803. - Yes.
- Yeah.Copy !req
804. It's, um, nice.Copy !req
805. I've never been.Copy !req
806. - What?
- Really?Copy !req
807. Yeah, I've never
actually been there.Copy !req
808. Hey,
you should take your husband.Copy !req
809. Have we seriously
never been there together?Copy !req
810. No.Copy !req
811. When I was 24 years,Copy !req
812. I, uh... um...Copy !req
813. Oh.
Military service?Copy !req
814. Yes.Copy !req
815. Oh, military service.Copy !req
816. Right.Copy !req
817. You know how korean men have
mandatory military service?Copy !req
818. Yeah, your dad talks about it.
How was it?Copy !req
819. You like it?Copy !req
820. How was it?
Did you like it?Copy !req
821. No.Copy !req
822. Uh, but military and work, same.Copy !req
823. Same?Copy !req
824. Same? How?Copy !req
825. Uh, you have, um...Copy !req
826. You have a boss.Copy !req
827. Hmm.Copy !req
828. There's overtime pay,Copy !req
829. stuff like that here, right?Copy !req
830. In Korea, you work
overtime all the time,Copy !req
831. but there's no overtime pay.Copy !req
832. There's no
overtime pay in Korea.Copy !req
833. - Really?
- Mm.Copy !req
834. You have to do
all of your boss's work first,Copy !req
835. then you do your own work,Copy !req
836. and then you can go home.Copy !req
837. Late at night?Copy !req
838. That's so hard.Copy !req
839. It's, uh, very hard.Copy !req
840. Hmm. Uh, work. Work is hard.Copy !req
841. Hard physically or mentally?Copy !req
842. Physically, or mentally?Copy !req
843. Uh, yes. Uh, both.Copy !req
844. Physical, very hard.Copy !req
845. - Uh, and, um...
- Hmm. Mentally.Copy !req
846. Uh, mentally, I'm strong.Copy !req
847. Mm!Copy !req
848. You're strong mentally?Copy !req
849. Yes, right.Copy !req
850. It was good that you immigrated.Copy !req
851. Mm. I agree.Copy !req
852. Korea is too small
of a country for you.Copy !req
853. It's not enough
to satisfy your ambition.Copy !req
854. I'm glad to have seen you.Copy !req
855. Yeah.Copy !req
856. And thank you for introducing
me to your husband.Copy !req
857. I can tell he really loves you.Copy !req
858. Hmm.Copy !req
859. I didn't know that liking your
husband would hurt this much.Copy !req
860. Yeah?Copy !req
861. Hmm.Copy !req
862. When we stopped talking,Copy !req
863. I really missed you.Copy !req
864. Did you miss me?Copy !req
865. Of course.Copy !req
866. But you met your husband then.Copy !req
867. You got a girlfriend then, too.Copy !req
868. Sorry.Copy !req
869. It's okay.Copy !req
870. Seeing you againCopy !req
871. and being hereCopy !req
872. makes me
have a lot of weird thoughts.Copy !req
873. What kind of thoughts?Copy !req
874. What if I'd come
to New York 12 years ago?Copy !req
875. What if you had
never left Seoul?Copy !req
876. If you hadn't just left
like that,Copy !req
877. and we just grew up together,Copy !req
878. would I still have
looked for you?Copy !req
879. Would we have dated? Broken up?Copy !req
880. Gotten married?Copy !req
881. Would we have had kids together?Copy !req
882. Thoughts like that.Copy !req
883. But the truth I learned here is,Copy !req
884. you had to leave
because you're you.Copy !req
885. And the reason I liked you
is because you're you.Copy !req
886. And who you are
is someone who leaves.Copy !req
887. The Na Young you rememberCopy !req
888. doesn't exist here.Copy !req
889. I know.Copy !req
890. But...Copy !req
891. That little girl did exist.Copy !req
892. She's not sitting here
in front of you,Copy !req
893. but it doesn't mean
she's not real.Copy !req
894. 20 years ago,Copy !req
895. I left her behind with you.Copy !req
896. I know.Copy !req
897. And even though I was only 12,Copy !req
898. I loved her.Copy !req
899. You psycho.Copy !req
900. I think there was something
in our past lives.Copy !req
901. Otherwise, why would we
be here together right now?Copy !req
902. But in this life,Copy !req
903. we don't have the In-Yun to beCopy !req
904. that kind of person
to each other.Copy !req
905. Because now, finally,Copy !req
906. we're in the same cityCopy !req
907. for the first time
in 20 years...Copy !req
908. We're sitting here
with your husband.Copy !req
909. In this life, you and Arthur
are that kind of In-Yun to each other.Copy !req
910. You two have
the 8,000 layers of In-Yun.Copy !req
911. To Arthur,Copy !req
912. you're someone who stays.Copy !req
913. He's talking about you.Copy !req
914. Who do you thinkCopy !req
915. we were to each other
in our past lives?Copy !req
916. I don't know.Copy !req
917. Maybe... an impossible affair?Copy !req
918. Between the queen
and the king's henchman?Copy !req
919. Or maybe we were forced
to live togetherCopy !req
920. in a political marriage,Copy !req
921. and we were awful to each other.Copy !req
922. Cheat on each other a bunch.Copy !req
923. Say hurtful things
to each other.Copy !req
924. Or maybe we were just sitting
next to each otherCopy !req
925. on the same train.Copy !req
926. Why?Copy !req
927. Just because that's what
our tickets said.Copy !req
928. Maybe,Copy !req
929. we were just a birdCopy !req
930. and the branch it sat on
one morning.Copy !req
931. I'm sorry we speak alone.Copy !req
932. Uh, we will stop.Copy !req
933. It's okay.Copy !req
934. You haven't seen each other
in a long time.Copy !req
935. I never thought I'd be
a part of something like this.Copy !req
936. Hmm?Copy !req
937. Sitting here with you.Copy !req
938. Do you know what In-Yun?Copy !req
939. Yeah. Nora told me about it
when we first met.Copy !req
940. You and me.Copy !req
941. Yeah. Yeah, you and ICopy !req
942. are In-Yun too.Copy !req
