MI-RAN AND EUN-HUI
LOYALTY, THREE GOODBYES, AURORAS IN ICELAND, YOU KNOW, EUN-HUI
MI-RAN AND EUN-HUI 2
-Oh, gosh. -Why did you drink so much?
-Open the door. -So funny.
-Oh, wait. Careful. -I got her.
-Mi-ran. -Hey.
-Watch the doorsill. -Just one more drink!
-Your bed is right there. -Just one more.
-Come on. -Just a second.
This way. Lay her down.
-Today was so much fun. -Okay, let's put her down.
-Oh, gosh. -This is hilarious.
What's her deal?
She's like this when she's drunk. It's the alcohol.
Can you bring me a wet towel?
Seriously?
You're even singing her a lullaby?
Are you asleep?
Are you sleeping?
Hey.
Take off her socks for me.
Let's take your jacket off.
Your right arm.
She laughs, cries, then sleeps.
She's unbelievable.
Speak for yourself.
You treat your friend like she's your boss or parent.
You've done enough.
Just go to bed.
You really are like her maid.
Eun-hui.
Although Mi-ran is a horrible,
selfish, two-faced brat who thinks of you as nothing
but a pathetic pushover that she can boss around
however she likes…
Water…
I need water.
Water.
Water…
Come on.
Try to sit up.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Eun-hui, I still want you to stay loyal to Mi-ran until the end.
Don't let it show that she hurt you. Just do your very best.
Let's repay her for all that she's done for me.
And let's make sure I never become
a selfish and two-faced jerk like Mi-ran.
That's all you need to focus on, Eun-hui.
All done.
Let's eat.
Thank you for the food.
It's delicious.
-I cooked it well, right? -Yes.
-Do you want water? -Yes, please.
Gosh. Be quiet!
Sorry.
Thanks.
-Isn't it too spicy? -No, it tastes good.
It's 3 a.m.
And you're eating ramyeon?
Yes.
The baby craved it.
It's like you live here.
The baby missed him.
So fussy, right?
Mr. Bang…
I mean, father. We must've woken you up.
-Why don't we eat in your room? -Sure.
-Good night, Dad. -Sorry, sir.
It tastes so good.
Hyeon, you should open a ramyeon joint.
-Should I? -Yes.
Good, right?
-Yes. -I made it with love.
Unbelievable.
Dad, where are you going?
Enjoy eating ramyeon with your husband!
Where's Hyeon's room?
Over there.
I'm sorry, Mi-ran. About Ji-yun's graduation trip…
It'll just be me, Ji-yun's mother, Ji-yun, and her boyfriend, David.
I'm Ji-yun's mother. Wake up.
Right. Ji-yun's stepmother, Sophie. It'll just have to be the four of us.
Is this what Ji-yun wants?
-Was this your idea? -No, it was Ji-yun's.
She wanted me to tell you instead because she felt bad.
Let's be honest. Sophie raised her.
I raised her until she finished middle school.
Sophie raised her since high school. It's only been seven years.
Let's be precise here.
I can’t answer the phone right now.
Please leave a message.
Hey, Ji-yun. It's me.
Your dad told me everything.
But I hope we still get to go to Iceland together to see auroras.
I can compromise with everything else except for that.
You're my daughter,
and I really want to be…
the person to show you the beautiful auroras.
Not with your dad, Sophie, or your boyfriend. Just with me.
I just want it to be us two.
Text me, okay?
Let me know when you're free to go to Iceland with me.
Your message has been recorded.
Jeju!
Ko Mi-ran…
is back!
Have you been well?
It's been so long!
Hey!
Gosh, Eun-hui.
She still has the curtains I gave her ten years ago.
I knew it.
Which is why I brought something for her.
My goodness.
Bestie, did you sleep well? I'm off to the auction site.
Sorry I couldn't have breakfast with you.
But I can do lunch.
I'll see you later. Loyalty!
EUN-HUI'S DIARY, 9TH GRADE EUN-HUI'S SECRET NOTEBOOK, 8TH GRADE
MY SECRET NOTEBOOK SECOND DIARY OF 2020, EUN-HUI
Well,
we don't keep secrets from each other.
EUN-HUI'S DIARY, 9TH GRADE
Today, Mi-ran gave me a ride again because I didn't have my bus fare.
The other kids were super jealous.
Some kids make fun of me and call me Mi-ran's slave.
Jeez. What kind of jerk would say that to my dear Eun-hui?
Some kids say Mi-ran treats me like a maid.
Gosh, I'm starting to get angry.
But I know they only say that because they're jealous
of how close I am with Mi-ran.
After all, Mi-ran adores me. She thinks I'm the cutest
and funniest person in this entire world.
EUN-HUI'S STORIES
What?
I wonder if this is also a diary.
"The hairtails were extremely fresh today, so they got sold out before noon."
"Thanks to that,
the butterfish and white croakers sold really well too."
"No matter the price, it's always best to buy good quality fish."
"And once again, I promise myself to do so."
Today, I fought with In-gwon.
He keeps asking me when Mi-ran's coming like a crazy person.
I was upset that the mackerels weren't selling,
but he just had to make it worse.
I guess she sold a lot of hairtails this day.
Croakers…
And this day, she sold a lot of croakers.
Gosh, this is more like a sales log than a diary.
She lives such a hard-working life.
I'm so proud of her.
The everlasting star of Pureung. My best friend.
Ko Mi-ran has returned to Pureung after three years.
This is from yesterday.
"Whenever she's here,
everyone is elated, and they all love her."
"Whenever Ms. Kang sees her,
she adores her as if she's her late daughter, Dong-i."
"Ms. Hyeon's late son,
Man-yeong, who died after falling into a furrow drunk,
used to be in love with Mi-ran."
"Ms. Hyeon's heart breaks since she considers Mi-ran her daughter-in-law."
But what about me?
I always say Mi-ran's my best friend, but is she really?
Do I think of her as a friend?
Do I also miss her and feel happy when I see her?
SS BANK
EUNHUI'S FISH MARKET
Eun-hui, the gathering is at 5 p.m. tonight on the island, right?
If you're too busy with work,
I'll go pick Mi-ran up after I get off work.
Why would you do that?
You didn't even have time to go shopping for my mom's clothes.
In-jeong, take your husband with you and go buy some clothes for your mother.
Get your act straight. Your wife has you by the balls.
-In-jeong, see you later on the island. -Bye.
-Where are you going? -I have afternoon harvesting.
I see. Be careful. Harvesting in the afternoon is tough.
See you.
Eun-hui. Although Mi-ran is a horrible,
selfish, two-faced brat who thinks of you as nothing
but a pathetic pushover that she can boss around
however she likes…
Eun-hui, I still want you to stay loyal to Mi-ran until the end.
Don't let it show that she hurt you. Just do your very best.
Let's repay her for all that she's done for me.
And let's make sure I never become
a selfish and two-faced jerk like Mi-ran.
That's all you need to focus on, Eun-hui.
I'm back.
Hey, you're here.
What's this smell?
Hey, what…
Out of the way.
-Out of the way. -Jeez.
Did you forget that this was on the stove?
It's okay.
It's fine as long as you're okay.
What's this?
Did you do all this?
Do you like it?
Of course. I love it.
Gosh, let me see…
Wait.
You even cleaned the room.
It's like a hotel!
Did you clean the bathroom too?
This is amazing. It's squeaky clean.
Gosh, you brat.
I adore you so much.
-Loyalty. -Loyalty.
Go wash up.
-I'll fix lunch. -Okay.
I stink, don't I?
I'll be right out.
I can't believe I'm going through this with a friend at this age.
Don't let it show.
Just keep treating her the same way.
Get out of the car.
But it's time for harvesting.
Where are Ms. Hyeon and the other ladies?
Dal-i took them.
Oh, I see.
I came ten minutes early,
but I guess everyone came earlier.
A few days back,
Ms. Hyeon told me that there was something I needed to know.
She told me everything you told her.
I see.
Drink this.
Ms. Hyeon and I are very loyal to each other.
Even more loyal than thugs are to each other.
She asked me to keep it to myself,
so if you choose not to tell anyone else, I won't say a word either.
The other haenyeos will do as Ms. Hyeon and I say.
Now that I know your story,
I get why you kept risking your life to make so much money.
My grandchild…
is like that too.
People don't talk about it,
but there are many families like ours.
It's no big deal.
Starting from today, you're going to be my partner.
Dal-i will be partners with Ms. Hyeon.
From now on, you'd better do as I say.
Harvest one abalone at a time
and one sea urchin at a time.
If you try to get two at once, I swear I'll kill you.
-Okay. -Wipe that smile off your face.
My life is in your hands now. Be on your toes.
Okay.
Don't act up thinking Ms. Hyeon has your back.
From now on, you answer to me.
I'm your boss. You got that?
All right, boss.
-Start driving. -Okay.
Hey, slow down. Drive slowly.
Apply this?
-Hey. -What?
That's not how you do it.
At our age, it's essential that we take care of our wrinkles.
You should wear stuff like this.
What's the point? It'd be like a pig wearing makeup.
You're right.
At least you know that you're a pig.
You little brat.
Close your eyes.
So don't ever
call yourself a pig again. You're as beautiful as a bird.
You're sexier than a lioness.
Stop joking around.
I'm not joking.
You're…
Eun-hui. Let's make sure I never become
a selfish and two-faced jerk like Mi-ran.
I'm what?
Tell me.
-Eun-hui. -Yes?
By any chance,
did I ever upset you?
No.
Come on. Tell me.
I'm a bit immature, so I can seem selfish at times.
Even yesterday,
I told you not to make a big deal about selling fish
and that I'd buy that all.
Didn't that
hurt you?
Come on. Don't be ridiculous. We're friends.
Friends can hurt each other too.
But it's just that
you're always working too hard.
I only said that hoping you'd let go and have fun.
If that bothered you by any chance,
-I'd like to apologize. -Jeez.
It's fine. Just finish doing my makeup.
Eun-hui.
I'm not perfect.
So there may be times when I unintentionally hurt you.
But I really like you.
Eun-hui.
Are you sure
I never did anything to hurt you?
If you tell me, I'll apologize no matter what.
Gosh. No, you haven't done anything wrong.
Are you done with the makeup?
Can I open my eyes?
Yes.
Goodness. Who is this woman?
The woman I see in the mirror isn't Jung Eun-hui.
Ji-yun got me this necklace as a gift.
These two women are us.
It's very precious to me, so make sure you give it back.
Today, you can wear it.
Let me see. It's pretty.
We should go. We'll be late.
-Eun-hui. -Yes?
-I love you. -I love you too.
A lot of people will be there.
Let's enjoy this day like it's the last.
Let's have a blast today.
Let's drink like a fish,
sing duet songs like we used to,
-and scream and shout. -Loyalty!
Loyalty.
Just leave me
There's nothing I can do for you
Leave my side
Go find someone who can make you happy
I'm sorry I can't hold your hand And ask you to stay
I just can't hold onto you Just because I love you…
-Mi-ran, stop drinking. -Hey.
-Stop it. -I am a fool
You're the reason I live
What? What's wrong, Myeong-bo?
-I'm sorry that I don't have what it takes -Nothing. It's nothing.
Just drink.
Forgive me for being such a coward
I can't be happy without you
What is it?
I need to go to the men's room.
What's with your bladder?
You're always off to the men's room.
Let's never break up again
-I can't be happy without you -Pour me a glass.
You're the only person who can have me
Mi-ran.
You'd better not flirt with my husband.
Unbelievable.
Listen.
I have really high standards, you know.
Gosh, what do you take me for?
Don't you worry.
I would never be attracted to your husband.
Let's drink. Drink up.
That was good.
Hey, wait!
Do you guys remember the legendary duo?
-Of course! -All right!
Ko Mi-ran!
Get up on stage!
-Come on! -Ko Mi-ran!
-Ko Mi-ran!
The sound of the night birds
Sounds so sad
The moon up in the night sky Looks so lonely
The whispers coming from the stars
Are all meaningless
The warm past
Gets buried in the darkness
And now it seems like We mean nothing to each other
The dream-like past
Disappears in the fog
And now I'm left here all alone
Tonight
The darkness scares me
The sound of the night birds sounds so sad
-Ko Mi-ran! -Ko Mi-ran!
Guys, I'm back!
The warm past gets buried in the darkness
Is your job as a maid finally over?
Cut the joke.
Eun-hui.
I bet you're nice to Mi-ran because you feel inferior to her.
You're just trying not to show it.
Eun-hui!
She'll always be the princess, and you'll always be her maid.
Do you know what Mi-ran…
Damn it. Do you know what that vixen said to me earlier?
I told her not to flirt with Myeong-bo,
and she told me that she has high standards.
That she'd never be attracted to him.
Do you know what that means?
It means that brat thinks every one of us including you, Myeong-bo, In-gwon, and I
aren't good enough to even be on her level.
It means she looks down on us and thinks we're lowlives.
Everyone who's here is Mi-ran's servant.
Looks so lonely…
I'm so disappointed in Mi-ran.
I get that you're upset, but she's older than you.
Have some respect.
Plus, that's just how she is.
There's no need to be disappointed.
Just set the bar low, and you're good to go.
Mi-ran's leaving tomorrow anyway.
Drink up.
-Drink. -Gosh.
Bottoms up. Damn it.
Tonight…
Just ten minutes
That's all it takes to make you mine
Guys always get fooled by the naive act
But baby, I bet you're falling for something new…
Hello.
The Korean alphabet poster…
I'll take these two.
That'll be 20,000 won.
Here you go.
-Here. -Thank you. Bye.
Bye.
You seem awfully sentimental.
They're for Ms. Kang.
I figured I might forget after a few more shots.
Why are you drinking here alone?
Myeong-bo.
What's wrong?
Mi-ran.
I'm going to break up with In-jeong.
Hey.
In-jeong is a great girl.
She's nice to your parents.
Your kid even went to college with top grades thanks to her.
I mean, come on.
You're crazy for wanting a divorce.
Here's a word of advice from someone who's been divorced before.
It's better to talk things out and stay married.
Jeez.
What about this?
It's a little red.
Now, look at my back.
What happened?
She stepped on my left foot wearing heels quite some time ago.
And as for this,
she did it because I looked at you earlier.
In-jeong has delusional jealousy.
She's been physically abusing me.
I put up with it until now,
but I can't do it anymore.
Goodness.
I'm so sorry, Myeong-bo.
I can't believe you had to go through that.
I feel so bad for you, buddy.
Come on. Don't cry.
Gosh, poor you.
Hey.
Hey! What's your problem?
Get off of her! Let her go, woman!
Let go of her!
-Let go. Let's talk it out. -Let go!
You little…
You go around hitting on every man you see!
Stop it!
-Don't cross the line. Let go of my hair. -Please stop!
I'm not letting go, you brat.
Weren't mainland men enough?
Did you have to flirt with my husband too?
You crazy little…
-In-jeong, please just stop! -Get off!
I told you to stop!
Mi-ran, wait. Mi-ran…
-Damn you! -Get off me!
-You damn little… -Will you please stop?
-Hey! -Stop it!
What's going on here?
-That's enough! -What do you think you're doing?
-Let go. Let go of her. -Enough! Stop!
-Get off me! -Let go of her! Let go!
What's with you?
Hey!
Honey.
Myeong-bo, she just kicked me.
Myeong-bo! Honey!
Damn it!
BANG FAMILY ICE
Hey, you just disappeared.
Are you on your way to Eun-hui's?
Why didn't you stay for longer?
Didn't you drink?
For whose own good? I have to get up at dawn for work.
I'm not well-off like you are.
Hop in.
Why…
do you hate me?
I don't hate you.
Yes, you do.
I could always tell.
Ever since we were young,
you never liked me.
Everyone else loves you. Isn't that good enough?
Do you need love and attention from everyone you know?
That's narcissism, you know.
What made you hate me?
If you think of me as a friend at all, tell me why you hate me.
Fine. Only because we're friends.
I've hated you for quite some time now.
It started in high school.
It was when Eun-hui didn't bring lunch to school.
So like always, she ended up sharing yours.
But I guess Eun-hui was craving sausages that day.
Jeez. See? I was right, wasn't I?
-Okay, I get it. -Get what?
Mi-ran is a horrible brat.
Gosh, you're heavy. Stand up straight.
She hugged my husband and caressed his cheeks.
She looked at him seductively with her hands on his cheeks.
Don't be absurd. Mi-ran would never touch him like that.
Then are you saying I'm lying?
No, that's not what I meant.
Mi-ran is always flirting with any guy she can find.
Not every woman gets married three times.
Hey! Then was she supposed to stay with the cheating husband,
or the guy who started a secret business,
or the guy who wanted babies when she was going through menopause?
Yes, she should've stayed!
Once you're married, you stay married.
Mi-ran just can't help herself. It's in her blood to flirt with men.
Am I right or wrong?
Okay, fine. You're right. Now, let's go.
-You just admitted that Mi-ran's a brat. -Yes, sure.
I get it already. Now, at least walk properly.
Hey, don't just stand there.
Come help me with your wife.
Hey, why did you disappear earlier?
Did you leave with Mi-ran?
-Hey… -Don't you hear me?
Honey!
Hey.
-They're unbelievable. -I'm drunk. Carry me on your back.
This is so exhausting.
Hey!
Crazy brat.
Shallow brat.
You're still drinking?
Would you like some?
No, thanks. I don't have time.
Are you addicted to making money?
You make a decent living, but you're still so obsessed with money.
All you ever do is work.
I wouldn't call that hard-working and diligent.
You're just a workaholic.
It's better than being an alcoholic.
I don't drink that much.
I'm not addicted to alcohol,
but I am addicted to men.
But of course, you know that.
What are you talking about?
In-jeong just called me.
My phone automatically records all my phone conversations.
Would you like to hear it?
In the beginning, she just keeps cursing.
What you need to hear
starts about here.
Why would I be with your husband?
Damn it. If Myeong-bo isn't with you, then where did he go?
Where is he?
Myeong-bo loves his home.
But he packed up and left, so he obviously went to see you,
you crazy little…
I'm not the only one who thinks you're an obsessive flirt.
Eun-hui said so too.
She said it's not common to get a divorce three times.
She thinks you brought it upon yourself.
That's just who you are. You're addicted to men…
You know I'd never say something like this.
Don't you trust me?
-In-jeong just made-- -Right.
I know.
I'm sure In-jeong just made things up.
You would never.
I trust you.
Why did you have to hug Myeong-bo and touch him like that?
It only caused a mess.
Why can't I touch him?
-He's my friend. -He's married.
You have no common sense. That's why everyone criticizes you.
He's been getting abused by his wife.
I felt bad for him.
What's so wrong with comforting him with a hug?
What do you mean he's been getting abused?
They get along well.
Myeong-bo isn't getting abused. In-jeong isn't like that.
I saw it.
I saw all the scars and wounds on his body.
You're being absurd…
Then do you think I'm lying?
I trust you.
But I guess you don't trust me.
Why would you say that?
If you trust me,
all you need to do is ask me why I think that way.
Then I'd tell you that Myeong-bo showed me
his back and broken toenails right outside the bar.
You wouldn't have argued with me like this.
Okay, fine. I believe you.
Just go to bed and leave tomorrow.
I'm tired.
"Two-faced."
"Horrible brat."
"Selfish brat."
What are you saying?
Are you drunk?
That's what you think of me.
Are you crazy? Why would you read my diary?
In a movie called Bridget Jones's Diary,
there's a scene exactly like this situation.
The girl writes a bunch of bad things about the guy,
and he reads it.
When she finds out, she says this.
"I wrote all that stuff in my diary
a few months back."
"It was before I got to know you."
"But now,
I love you."
When the man hears that, he makes up with her.
Why?
Because it's okay for someone to hate you
when they don't know you very well.
If someone who didn't know me very well
went around calling me names behind my back,
I'd just laugh it off.
If In-jeong did that, I'd take it as a joke.
But…
you know me better than anyone else in this world.
That's why it's hard for me to laugh it off, Eun-hui.
Because if you call me a horrible, selfish, two-faced brat,
it truly means I am one.
Tell me.
What makes me so horrible, selfish, and two-faced?
What's wrong?
Is the list too long?
Yes!
Just go.
It's all in the past.
Let's not dig it out.
What's the point of talking about it now?
It'll make us seem pathetic and petty.
I'll visit you in Seoul when I have time. Let's talk about it then.
If I'm two-faced,
then you're something even worse.
You pretended to like me when you didn't for years.
But then again, I understand.
You're someone who thinks loyalty is the most important thing ever.
So you want everyone
to always think that you're a loyal, great friend.
But…
let me tell you something as someone who knows you best
and has known you forever.
You see,
you're not that much of a loyal friend.
Hello?
Yes, I'll be right out.
Just…
abandon me.
You can't?
Because loyalty is all you have?
Then I'll abandon you.
I divorced my child's father.
Then I abandoned two more guys after I got married to them.
How hard would it be with you?
What we had
was just a long, meaningless,
and empty friendship.
Let's just throw it in the trash just like that diary of yours.
I love you, while living…
I'll stop singing.
What? I have no loyalty?
Are you here to argue?
But what do you mean, Yeong-hui's coming to Jeju Island?
I'm going out with you hoping to marry you one day.
Let's just go back to being captain and haenyeo.
-Stop being stubborn. -Why break up when we're in love?
I only went out with you because I wanted to have fun.
You look pretty shocked.
She's Yeong-hui, my twin sister.
