01:30Mom, what's up?
01:42What took you so long to pick up your mom's phone?
01:46I'm really busy right now, so...
01:48Mom, it's cancer.
01:51Cancer?
01:53It's cancer?
01:54Yeah, cancer.
01:55Cancer.
01:57I got a health checkup because I had a bad feeling about it.
01:59It's cancer.
02:00Did you hear that I'm taking care of my connections?
02:03The diagnosis is 200 million won.
02:05Did you get a lottery ticket?
02:08Hallelujah.
02:09It's no different than a lottery.
02:11Boram,
02:12I put your mom in the intensive care unit
02:13because I heard she has a small tumor.
02:16She'll be fine after a good night's sleep.
02:18Doctor,
02:20I won't get an anesthetic.
02:22It'll be fine.
02:23So don't worry.
02:24No, it's not that.
02:26I want to be a part of Jesus' pain.
02:28I want to be a part of the pain of the Lord
02:31who crossed the hill while I was in surgery.
02:33Amen.
02:38My mom's condition, which I thought was nothing,
02:40was quite serious.
02:41Ouch.
02:43There was a small tumor in the lymph node
02:45and her liver wasn't in a good condition.
02:57Even after a carotid artery surgery,
02:59the cancer cell didn't completely disappear.
03:07When I think I'm going to lose my mind,
03:09I meet strangers in a new environment
03:12or learn things I'm not used to.
03:14That's what Mi-ae told me.
03:22Nice to meet you.
03:23I'm Lee Min-jae.
03:25Nice to meet you.
03:26I'm Map So-sa.
03:28I'm a fan-romantic asexual
03:30who works at a sexual minority organization.
03:32I want to be an eco-vegan.
03:34I'm AlphaGo.
03:36I'm a college...
03:37I'm a college...
03:38I'm sorry.
03:40Hello, I'm Baram.
03:42I used to teach kids at school,
03:44but I retired last year,
03:45so I'm taking a break at home.
03:47My name is James.
03:49I'm a nurse at the Eungpyeong branch
03:51of the Environmental Party.
03:53I'm Blueberry.
04:00I'm here to make my heart strong.
04:03I'm Legend of the Fall.
04:05I run a vegan family business.
04:07I want to communicate with many people,
04:09so I decided to participate.
04:11Nice to meet you.
04:16Shall we introduce ourselves?
04:21I'm Noh Young-soo.
04:23I'm a creator.
04:29Shall we start the class?
04:32Spinoza's most famous work is Ethica.
04:35In that work,
04:37he classified human emotions into 48 categories.
04:40Can I have some coffee?
04:42Why did Spinoza classify human emotions
04:44into such small categories?
04:46All the pain we humans experience
04:48comes from our emotions.
04:50But Spinoza said that the flow of human emotions
04:52follows the laws of nature.
04:56Noh Young-soo.
04:58I felt the energy of the audience
05:00in his cool self-introduction.
05:03I decided not to get involved.
05:14I'll buy you a cup of coffee.
05:18What?
05:20No, it's okay.
05:22No.
05:24I really want to thank you.
05:27You don't have to do that.
05:29It's really okay.
05:31There's a cafe right in front of here.
05:33Let's sit down and talk.
06:02You must be very thirsty.
06:04Yes, thanks to you, I'm alive.
06:07I recently graduated from college.
06:09I'm writing a book.
06:11Okay.
06:20Do you watch dramas?
06:22No.
06:23Oh, I see.
06:26Do you have any hobbies?
06:28I like reading.
06:31The reason I participated in this lecture
06:33is to read my mind.
06:35I don't think the video is in good condition these days.
06:38Oh, I see.
06:42I read my mother's book.
06:46My mother is an alcoholic.
06:50So I hospitalized my mother in a treatment center.
06:52But she kept running away.
06:55I tried to change the treatment method, but there was no way.
06:58She kept hiding it and drinking.
07:00There's a bottle under the bed.
07:02It's in my bag.
07:04These days, I've even come to the initial symptoms of alcoholism.
07:07I'm looking for my mother who keeps disappearing.
07:09I've never seen her in four days.
07:12Oh, don't do that.
07:14But she doesn't want to admit that she's addicted.
07:17Alcoholics
07:20They say they're preparing excuses
07:22with the feeling of a Dutchman building a room.
07:25Stephen King?
07:27Yes.
07:28It's a seductive writing.
07:34Actually, my mother is sick, too.
07:36She has uterine cancer.
07:38She's so stubborn.
07:40She's so stubborn.
07:42She was hospitalized after surgery a while ago.
07:44I'm taking care of her.
07:47We have a lot in common.
07:50Is that so?
07:53You've never heard of this class before, have you?
07:55Yes.
07:56How did you know?
07:59I've never seen you before.
08:04If you look so cute,
08:06I can't help but remember you.
08:09Yes.
08:13What?
08:39I'm sorry.
08:47I'm sorry.
08:49I'm sorry.
08:51Oh...
09:21Thanks for watching ❤︎
09:51I'm going to eat a lot.
09:58Have you been starving for a few days?
10:02Gamjatang is originally eaten in Jeolla-do.
10:06But as the Gyeong Injeon Construction started in 1899,
10:10The food that the people gathered in Incheon
10:12It's a popular dish.
10:15Then, a large slaughterhouse was built in the Incheon Donggu-chung.
10:17At this time, potatoes were considered easy ingredients to get,
10:20to do so.
10:21The potato soup is good for your diet
10:23because it has a variety of healthy foods
10:25with the addition of nutrients and spices.
10:28I like potato soup, so I've used
10:30all kinds of soups from this and that restaurant...
10:32Hey...
10:33Can I ask you what you do for a living?
10:36All of a sudden?
10:38I just heard that you make furniture.
10:40What do you do?
10:41Why are you so determined?
10:43Hmm...
10:44Just...
10:46just an ordinary worker.
10:48Ah...
10:49Ah, yes.
11:00By the way, do you have bad eyesight?
11:03Ah, this is...
11:06I got hit by a ball on the weekend, so I used it to cover it.
11:12Did you play soccer?
11:14How did you know?
11:15One of my friends got his cornea injured while playing soccer.
11:19He didn't even go to the army because of that.
11:22What I know for sure is that he's a two-year-old.
11:25If you're okay later, why don't you come out?
11:27It's not as dangerous as you think.
11:31I don't like exercising.
11:34Ah.
11:45Yes.
12:04Do you have an umbrella?
12:06Yes, I didn't know it was going to rain.
12:12Do you want to share?
12:14Yes.
12:23What are you doing?
12:25Subway.
12:38I started writing after I met him.
12:41I wanted to know him better.
12:44I kept thinking about him in my head.
12:47I felt like I was stretching thousands of meters.
12:58I've never felt it before.
13:00I didn't know what to do with that energy.
13:03I decided to record and explore my changing emotions.
13:08Let me see your face. Give me a picture.
13:10I don't have a picture of my face.
13:11Then give it to me on SNS.
13:13I don't do that at all.
13:14Are you sure you're gay?
13:15Actually, I really don't know.
13:20Are you kidding me?
13:21Then send me a text message. We'll check it out.
13:35Sky picture?
13:36Today is a good day to take a walk.
13:38Wait a minute.
13:39Why?
13:43Today is a good day to take a walk.
13:46Star cat picture?
13:47This is the kid I feed.
13:50That's cute.
13:51Braised mackerel picture?
13:53I found a delicious mackerel house.
13:56It's delicious with perilla oil and ginger.
14:00Let's go together next time.
14:05Amazon?
14:06Who?
14:08My mom.
14:10Did you meet her in the mountain?
14:11No, I was taking philosophy classes.
14:15Are you crazy?
14:17I don't think you're gay.
14:20I've never heard of a gay who is naked in a mackerel picture.
14:23No, you might be gay.
14:25I'm 100% sure.
14:27What do you eat when you meet?
14:30I eat gamjatang, grilled fish, jokbal, and cheonggukjang.
14:34Oh, smell.
14:35I also ate pork bulbaek.
14:36Hey!
14:38Is there anything else?
14:39A clue that can reveal the game.
14:47I don't have an umbrella when it rains last time, so I think I'll use it with him.
14:50But he leaned his umbrella towards me, so his shoulders were all wet.
14:55That's a little vague, but is there anything else?
15:00Then how about this?
15:06What?
15:20It's a ramen shop. Why didn't you sleep?
15:22No, I'm not sure if it's a dog or not.
15:24You said you gave it to your dad's feet.
15:26Where is such a general?
15:28If you're not interested, would you do that?
15:29I'm asking you to have sex.
15:31What are you talking about?
15:34I don't think it's this way.
15:36Don't meet. Don't meet.
15:38I think it's a dog.
15:42I...
15:43Don't you have eyes for men?
15:45Yeah, I really don't.
15:56All right, go now.
16:01I'll go first. Sorry.
16:02Where are you going?
16:04Hey!
16:06Where are you going?
16:08My mom keeps looking for me.
16:10I'll go first. Sorry. Bye.
16:13You're going to see the mackerel, aren't you?
16:25Are you here?
16:26Come quickly.
16:33Mom, what is it?
16:36Let's go for a walk.
16:38I got permission from the doctor.
16:48The air is so fresh.
16:53There's no fine dust level, but it's refreshing.
16:57It's very bad.
16:59I feel very bad right now.
17:03I even washed the diaper and raised it.
17:07Do you have to call me and take me for a walk when you have time?
17:10What do you want from you?
17:12It was the same when your grandmother didn't get caught.
17:15You were a kid who couldn't even walk, and you were a kid who hit your grandmother's bread lying down.
17:21Oh, really?
17:22How long are you going to talk about that?
17:24I'm going to sleep until I die. Why?
17:27Hey, my son.
17:30You have a little time left.
17:32But do a good job.
17:34It's all your fault.
17:37Hey, I'm just curious.
17:39Do you remember Mr. Park?
17:41My son is a bachelor.
17:43He didn't go to school better than you.
17:45But he's already married and bought an apartment at the Han River.
17:49I heard that your friend, Min, and I are married and family.
17:54Why are you talking about that again?
17:55What's wrong with you?
17:56What do you mean what's wrong with me?
17:59Young, I'm doing this because I know you're getting married.
18:03Can't you just marry me?
18:05Marriage is the answer. Marriage is the answer!
18:12People might think that Yeom Eun-sook's marriage is a very successful one,
18:16but in reality, her marriage could be called the worst.
18:20When I was in elementary school, I even cut down other people's houses.
18:40My dad was the most peaceful and happy I've ever seen in my life.
18:45I've never seen him like that when I was with my mom.
18:51Hey!
19:00My mom, who got divorced without hesitation, became the head of the family in an instant.
19:13Nice!
19:15Nice!
19:17Nice!
19:20Nice, nice, nice!
19:25Go up, go up, go up, go up, go up!
19:28Nice!
19:41Hey, be careful.
19:44Are you okay?
19:47I'm sorry.
19:49I'm okay.
19:53You can go.
19:55Go away.
20:08You've lost a lot of weight.
20:11Me?
20:12It's been a long time since you've been here. You should go for a drink.
20:16I drank last time, but I really need to have a drink today.
20:46I drank last time, but I really need to have a drink today.
20:48I drank last time, but I really need to have a drink today.
21:13I drank last time, but I really need to have a drink today.
21:16I know.
21:18Then...
21:19I'll go with my friend.
21:30We're going to have a get-together.
21:32What do you want to do?
21:37I'm a little tired.
21:40Really?
21:42Okay.
21:43Then take a break.
21:48Okay.
22:18Then take a break.
22:48Okay.
23:07I'd like eight glasses of tequila, please.
23:08Okay.
23:13What's wrong with you?
23:15I don't know. I'm going to get drunk and forget.
23:16Me, too. It's hard to be a girl.
23:19Okay.
23:20Then we'll set it up for you.
23:23Okay.
23:24Let's go!
23:46Let's go!
23:47Let's go!
23:48Let's go!
23:49Let's go!
23:50Let's go!
23:51Let's go!
23:52Let's go!
23:53Let's go!
23:54Let's go!
23:55Let's go!
23:56Let's go!
23:57Let's go!
23:58Let's go!
23:59Let's go!
24:00Let's go!
24:01Let's go!
24:02Let's go!
24:03Let's go!
24:04Let's go!
24:05Let's go!
24:06Let's go!
24:07Let's go!
24:08Let's go!
24:09Let's go!
24:10Let's go!
24:11Let's go!
24:12Let's go!
24:13Let's go!
24:14Let's go!
24:15Let's go!
24:39Why?
24:40Why didn't you pick up last night?
24:43Yes, I did.
24:44Son, do you want to come home right now?
24:46I'm going to see the Lord soon.
24:51What are you talking about?
24:53You know, Young.
24:55I didn't even go to the bathroom
24:57because I was afraid
24:59that my grandmother would die
25:00when she was sick.
25:02So later,
25:03I caught a cold.
25:05But Young
25:06couldn't even see his nose
25:08when his mother was dying
25:09from cancer.
25:11Yes.
25:12I'm going to die soon.
25:15Stop saying that.
25:16I'm going.
25:19Hurry up.
25:20What are you doing
25:21in the hospital
25:22when your mother is dying?
25:23I can't even see your face
25:24before I go.
25:25Come on.
25:26I'm going.
25:27I'm going.
25:28Wait for me.
25:42Oh, Young.
25:47Yes.
25:48I heard your daughter
25:49came back this time.
25:50Trust me
25:51and leave it to me once.
25:52Yes.
25:54The groom is a doctor.
25:55He's a senior.
25:56And...
25:57What?
25:58He's not?
26:00Oh.
26:02Then I'll look into
26:03Seoul National University again.
26:04Of course,
26:05there are a lot of members.
26:07Yes.
26:09Hallelujah.
26:10Hallelujah.
26:11Okay.
26:12Mr. Oh.
26:23He's from Seoul National University, right?
26:24Yes.
26:26He went to Seoul National University
26:27because he was good at studying.
26:28How can he be so good at acting?
26:34What do you write?
26:35I don't know.
26:36What is it?
26:37Don't look.
26:40I should have made you a doctor.
26:42If I had received support like you,
26:43I would have gone to Seoul
26:44a hundred times already.
26:45Huh?
26:46Yeom Eun-sook was the top student
26:47at Chunmyeong Girls' High School.
26:49My grandmother said
26:50she would sell her house
26:51and send me to college.
26:52I couldn't do that
26:53when I saw the wrinkles
26:54on my mom's face
26:55when I was a kid.
26:57So as soon as I graduated,
26:58I went to Dongil Construction
26:59and worked as an auctioneer.
27:01Oh, my God.
27:02I met your father, Ko Jin-cheol,
27:03and my life
27:04turned out like this.
27:05In the meantime,
27:06with my first salary,
27:07I bought my grandmother's underwear
27:08and Vaseline hand cream
27:09for the first time.
27:10My grandmother was saving it.
27:12I know.
27:13You've been saving it
27:14for over three years.
27:16Young-ah,
27:17I'm not asking you
27:19to buy something
27:20that's that great.
27:21Now,
27:22such material things
27:23are not important.
27:25It's just
27:26that my son
27:27accompanies me with faith.
27:28It proves that
27:29we are always one
27:30in the Lord.
27:31That's why my life
27:32didn't go to waste.
27:33That's all.
27:34Amen.
27:36Where did he go again?
27:38Huh?
27:40It's cold.
27:42Oh, Seoul National University.
27:58Is dinner okay today?
28:00Yes.
28:02How's your job?
28:03How's your job?
28:04It's been around here
28:05since 1940.
28:06Oh, come on.
28:08Can't you go somewhere else
28:09on a day like today?
28:11What day is it?
28:12It's Halloween.
28:14So?
28:15Can't I have a job?
28:18Job.
28:19I don't want it.
28:21For dinner today,
28:23let's go where I want to go.
28:33Let's go.
28:49Hey,
28:50have some.
28:52I don't enjoy
28:53this kind of food.
28:55You should drink more.
28:57Drinking beer
28:58makes me want to pee.
29:01You must not be having fun.
29:03Do you come here often?
29:05Well,
29:06if it's a place like this.
29:08Oh,
29:09it's crowded and noisy.
29:11Excuse me,
29:12can you take a picture of us?
29:15Of course.
29:22Here you go.
29:24I'll take a picture of you two.
29:26We're okay.
29:27It's free.
29:28I'll lend you this, too.
29:33I'll take a picture of you two.
29:43People don't know the origin of this place,
29:45and they think it's a party.
29:48What's that?
29:50Nothing.
29:51It just doesn't look good.
29:55Maybe they're just having fun.
30:04Wow, it looks good.
30:06Hey, you're good at taking pictures.
30:08It's okay.
30:09Just take a look.
30:10It's okay.
30:16I'm sorry. It was a mistake.
30:17What's wrong with you?
30:19It's not that.
30:21I'm not used to this kind of culture.
30:24And I think you're drunk, too.
30:25I'm not
30:27the type to get drunk after a glass of beer.
30:30It's okay.
30:31I won't bother you.
30:33Let's go.
30:34Let's go.
31:02Yong Xi!
31:04Yong Xi!
31:15Are you feeling better?
31:19I've never been in a bad mood.
31:23It's not that you were in a bad mood.
31:26Emotions
31:28are subjective.
31:30What?
31:31Don't you remember I told you to divide your emotions into 48?
31:34Did you take the class with your nostrils?
31:37Oh, that's right.
31:40But why did you take so many philosophy classes?
31:53I am
31:55an editor of a publishing company that makes philosophy books.
31:58I quit my job
31:59and work as a freelancer every week.
32:02Oh, I see.
32:04You're an editor.
32:08But
32:09I've always been interested in the principles of the universe.
32:13I'm curious.
32:14Why does the world look like this?
32:17Why am I like this?
32:21How many stars are there in this vast universe?
32:25How insignificant am I?
32:29When I think about that,
32:32I feel so lonely.
32:51What do you think Yong Xi ate?
32:54Flatfish?
32:56Or is it rockfish?
32:59Actually,
33:00I'm not good at distinguishing fish.
33:02Everything expensive is delicious.
33:04You're right and wrong.
33:06What you're tasting is rockfish.
33:09But that's not the taste of non-sweet rockfish.
33:12What you feel at the tip of your tongue is the taste of the universe.
33:17What the hell are you talking about?
33:19What are you talking about?
33:22The rockfish we eat
33:23and ourselves are all part of the universe.
33:26So
33:27the universe is a process of tasting the universe.
33:40If you think the more transparent side is flatfish, it will be easy to distinguish.
33:43The more chewy one is rockfish.
33:49Then
33:50call me rockfish from today.
33:52Chewy.
33:55No.
33:57I'll call you flatfish.
34:01I can see your insides.
34:15My mom
34:16is really good at removing fish bones.
34:28It wasn't what I meant.
34:30I'm sorry.
34:34I like you.
34:37I like Cheong-ho, too.
34:39Not Cheong-ho.
34:42I like you, the universe.
34:57I like you, too.
35:28Are you awake?
35:31Did you have a dream?
35:34No, I think I fell asleep.
35:40You were snoring.
35:42I'm sorry.
35:45I'm sorry.
35:47I'm sorry.
35:49I'm sorry.
35:51I'm sorry.
35:53I'm sorry.
35:55I'm sorry.
35:57You were cute.
35:59How long has it been?
36:01Why?
36:02Because you were so good.
36:10But
36:11when did you think I was this side?
36:15I knew it from the moment I saw you.
36:19Then
36:20did you know we were going to be like this?
36:23From the beginning.
36:27From the beginning.
36:33Is this a Christmas tree?
36:37It's a tree of life.
36:39What's that?
36:41It's a sign that I'm studying.
36:48It contains the principles of the universe.
36:51It means that we are connected to each other.
36:54Are you curious?
36:55Do you want me to tell you more?
36:57Yes.
37:04Young, you said you wanted to do something.
37:07Can I ask you what your dream is?
37:12I'll show you later.
37:18I'm turning off the lights in my room like this.
37:21Yes.
37:23I feel like we're the only ones left in the universe.
37:28Oh, my God.
37:32That night,
37:34we were holding each other tight without a small gap.
37:43My body seemed to exist to fit him.
37:49He was in my arms.
37:51It felt like a giant universe.
37:57It was like a dream.
37:59It was like a dream.
38:02It was like a dream.
38:04It was like a dream.
38:06It was like a dream.
38:08It was like a dream.
38:10It was like a dream.
38:12It was like a dream.
38:14It was like a dream.
38:16It was like a dream.
38:18It was like a dream.
38:20It was like a dream.
38:22It was like a dream.
38:24It was like a dream.
38:26It was like a dream.
38:27It was like a dream.
38:35I don't know how I got to write something like this.
38:38I can't even say a doctor's name in the middle school.
38:41Mom, doctors just look at the sick person's asshole.
38:43It's such a hard job.
38:44Do you want me to be hard?
38:46What, you son of a bitch?
38:51Where are you going again?
38:53I have a plan.
38:54I'm sorry.
39:00I'm sorry.
39:01Forgive me for being a sinner.
39:24I'm sorry.
39:54Are you okay?
40:03Yes, it's nothing.
40:05What's nothing? It's red. Give it to me.
40:11It's not hot.
40:20Let's eat first.
40:22How is it?
40:45Whose song is this?
40:47I'm Lee Eun-ah, a famous singer in the 70s and 80s.
40:52All the other songs were hit, but I only put this song on.
40:59I like hidden gems like this.
41:03It's like finding the voice of Messi in the dark universe.
41:16I wish time would stop.
41:28It was dark and stuffy when I was alone, but now that I'm with you, it feels like the universe.
41:47I love you.
41:52I know it's a story I have to forget, but when I look at the phone that I can't sleep,
42:05I can hear the whispers of low love that I heard on a thin line.
42:35I love you.
43:05I know it's a story I have to forget, but when I look at the phone that I can't sleep,
43:15I can hear the whispers of low love that I heard on a thin line.
43:25I know it's a story I have to forget, but when I look at the phone that I can't sleep,
43:35I can hear the whispers of low love that I heard on a thin line.
43:45I know it's a story I have to forget, but when I look at the phone that I can't sleep,
43:55I can hear the whispers of low love that I heard on a thin line.
