Transcript
00:00The story starts in the spring when Professor Hakku arrives in a small town.
00:05He is a literature professor and a writer who came to the small town to teach some elders
00:09to write a novel.
00:11He meets a girl who looks at him inquisitively as if she has never seen a man in a suit before.
00:16Her name is Doki, a kind and innocent small-town girl.
00:20She lives with her mute mother and takes care of her really well.
00:24Their second encounter happens in an amusement park where Deoki worked.
00:28Deoki wonders why Hakku comes to the amusement park wearing a full suit.
00:34He then tells her that he teaches literature classes in an education center near the park.
00:39Deoki laughs as no one ever wears a suit in there anyway.
00:43So he wears a casual outfit to the class on the next day.
00:47Deoki becomes interested and joins the class too.
00:50After class, the elders ask him to drink with them and Deoki.
00:54The elders are getting along with Deoki quite well.
00:58Recently, Deoki's mother tried to get her a man so she could be married soon.
01:03They ask her about her blind date, but she refuses to answer.
01:07They walk together until he stops by at some rice cake place to drink more liquor alone.
01:13Little does he know, Deoki steals a glance to look at him.
01:16She adores the way he drinks, or maybe just adores everything he does.
01:21When he gets home, Hakku calls his friend regarding the situation back in Seoul.
01:26It turns out that Hakku got falsely accused of sexual harassment by his student at his
01:31university.
01:32His friend is trying to help him by collecting evidence that he's innocent.
01:37Things are not going well there, so his friend advises him to find a hobby in the town to
01:40spend some time instead of feeling depressed.
01:44That night, Deoki dreams about her and Hakku spending their lovely time together in the
01:48park.
01:50It's obvious that Deoki has a liking for him.
01:53In the afternoon, they actually meet in the park.
01:56They become closer as they drink together.
01:59Hakku tells her the reason why he comes to the small town.
02:03She suggests he stay low until things calm down.
02:07But things are already too complicated back there for it to solve by itself.
02:11Either way, he appreciates her for listening to his story and believing in him.
02:16His phone rings, it's his daughter calling.
02:19At that moment, she learns that Hakku is a man with a wife and a child.
02:24He was about to leave for Seoul, but he cancelled it because he still wanted to be with Deoki.
02:29He takes her to his house, and she innocently kisses him on his lips, making a laugh slip
02:34through his mouth due to her cutesy.
02:36They both sneak into the park at night, riding a ferris wheel as both of them try to enjoy
02:40their time together.
02:42They end up having a spicy time there, if you know what I mean, without realizing that
02:46the park guard sees what they are doing.
02:49The gossip goes everywhere, as the other elderly talk about them.
02:53It reminds them of their wild young days.
02:56But Deoki's mother also hears about the gossip and becomes worried.
03:01Deoki and Hakkyu become a couple.
03:03They go on a cute date and have some fun.
03:06They are strolling around the city when Hakkyu sees Deoki admiring a pair of heels.
03:12He gets her the heels and gives them to her when they get home.
03:15He puts on the heels for her and starts rubbing her leg, and, you know what next.
03:20The thought of him ruining her innocence is driving him wild.
03:24I'll never ever let you go, she says as he keeps boinking her as if he doesn't have another
03:29life in Seoul.
03:31Hakkyu receives a call from his friend in the morning, saying that he is arriving soon
03:34to bring him some good news.
03:37His friend tells him that he already got proof of Hakkyu's innocence, the accusation of him
03:41doing sexual harassment is already cleared.
03:45Now that everything is all good, Hakkyu plans to go back to Seoul.
03:49Deoki seems disappointed when Hakkyu tells her that he will leave for Seoul.
03:54But oh boy, his soul leaves his body when Deoki tells him that she's pregnant.
03:59They go to obstetrics to abort the child.
04:02After the procedure is done, he leaves her, but promises will come back soon.
04:07Hakkyu comes to his home as soon as he arrives in Seoul.
04:10He meets his depressed wife, who has been suspecting him of having some affair with
04:14some college girls.
04:16His wife keeps blaming herself for doubting him for no reason.
04:20It's hard for her to not trust her gut feeling despite her deep love for Hakkyu.
04:25In another place, Deoki's getting scolded by her mom.
04:29Her mom found out about the abortion and is very disappointed by her act.
04:34After some time has passed, Deoki comes to Seoul to meet Hakkyu, who has promised to
04:38visit her.
04:40She even demands him to come clean to his wife about their affair.
04:44Hakkyu seems hesitant.
04:46It will ruin his outstanding career and perfect life in Seoul.
04:50A few days later, Hakkyu comes by to visit Deoki.
04:54She is too delighted by his presence, and she forgets that she's cooking a meal and
04:58leaves the stove on.
05:00But Hakkyu doesn't visit her to go back to her.
05:03Instead, he's breaking up with her and bribing her with some money.
05:07He wants her to not tell anyone about the affair and the abortion.
05:11But she still loves him and tries to convince him to take her away with him.
05:16The argument keeps up without them noticing that the stove that Deoki left is burning
05:20down her house with her mute mother inside.
05:23She runs toward the burning house to save her mother.
05:26At the same time, Hakkyu's daughter calls him to tell him that her depressed mom is
05:30locking herself in her room.
05:32So he calls 911 and rushes to Seoul only to find out that his wife has hung herself inside
05:38her room.
05:39In the end, he loses his wife and breaks up with Deoki, who lost her mother in the fire.
05:44Eight years pass by, and he has been living a hard and wild life to escape the guilt that
05:49keeps heaving his heart.
05:51His novel became a bestseller despite his unhealthy life.
05:55He gambles, drinks, and plays with women.
05:58One day, his eyesight seems blurry, so he comes to visit a doctor.
06:03The doctor says that it's his bad habit that forms a complication to his eyes, which makes
06:07his eyesight could be completely gone someday.
06:10The doctor tells him not to drink and smoke, but he keeps doing both as his career is slowly
06:14going downhill.
06:16The university kicks him out because they found out he's been illegally gambling and
06:20involved in a slush fund activity.
06:22His teenage daughter, Chong Yi, also has been living a nightlife due to the lack of attention.
06:28Little does he know, someone has been watching his life for the past eight years.
06:33His eyesight goes blurrier each day.
06:36He can't even recognize people by their faces.
06:39Deok Yi with a new appearance, not sure what her motive is, comes to visit his place as
06:43a new neighbor.
06:45Hak Ki Yoo can't tell if it's Deok Yi, so he welcomes her as a stranger.
06:50She introduces herself as Se Jung.
06:52Apparently, Se Jung is very close to Chong Yi as they often meet nearby.
06:58Chong Yi tells Se Jung all about her dad and how he feels about him, but Se Jung tells
07:02her not to hate him because he's her father, after all.
07:06Without her knowing, Chong Yi has fallen into Se Jung's trap as she needs a way to get close
07:10to them.
07:11Se Jung offers Hak Ki Yoo to help him write his books.
07:15She also introduces him to a great doctor who possibly can cure his eyes.
07:20The doctor tells him that he has a chance to get his eyesight back even though it's
07:23very small.
07:25He gives him some medication to prepare him for the surgery.
07:29They get closer as Se Jung keeps helping him do his daily tasks and keep track of his medicine
07:33without him knowing that she actually is Deok Yi.
07:37But Chong Yi doesn't seem to enjoy the sight of the two of them getting closer.
07:41The doctor finally tells him that he's ready for surgery soon.
07:45Hak Ki Yoo asks the doctor about the surgery cost, but he insists on discussing that only
07:49with his guardian, which is Se Jung.
07:52When he asks her, she tells him to not worry instead.
07:56Getting stressed by all of these things, Hak Ki Yoo asks Se Jung to bring him to the gambling
08:00house to relieve his stress.
08:03After winning some small bets, he goes to the high roller table.
08:07Unfortunately, he lost all his money in one night.
08:11He tries to go all in and borrow money from an illegal banker with high interest.
08:15But he loses it all again in the end.
08:18The next day Chong Yi tells her that Se Jung is an ideal mother figure, but she doesn't
08:22want her to marry his dad.
08:25Later that night, when Chong Yi has already gone to bed, Se Jung helps Hak Ki Yoo to shave
08:29his beard.
08:31Both of them can't help but relieve the sexual tension between them, and so they do.
08:36They do it without realizing that Chong Yi is watching outside until she makes a sound
08:40and flees to her room.
08:42Hak Ki Yoo tells Se Jung that everything will be okay since he plans to tell Chong Yi that
08:46they are going to get married soon.
08:49What's her motive behind all of this?
08:51Is having him holy her goal?
08:54Or is it something else?
08:56A few days later, the illegal banker visits his place to collect the money.
09:00But he doesn't have it.
09:02They threaten him by giving him pictures of Chong Yi.
09:05Chong Yi is frightened by it.
09:08She doesn't feel safe at home, so she goes to Se Jung.
09:12Days go by, and the banker goes to his place every day.
09:16They tell him to sell his daughter to them.
09:19He refuses, but they force him to sign the document.
09:22They kidnap Chong Yi and give Hak Ki Yoo some compensation money.
09:26It turns out that the illegal banker works with Se Jung, or better known as Deok Yi,
09:31to plan all this.
09:33Deok Yi tells them where Chong Yi hides to kidnap her.
09:37Not only that, but Deok Yi also asks the eye doctor to help her to make Hak Ki Yoo go blind
09:41faster so he can feel the utmost pain possible.
09:45She's an innocent girl turned into evil because of one's obsession and revenge.
09:49Six months later, Chong Yi is still missing as she might have been sold off to some twisted
09:54old man.
09:55Deok Yi starts treating him badly.
09:58She puts trash into his food.
10:01One day, she tells him that she's actually the innocent girl from his past, Deok Yi.
10:06It's actually the revenge that's keeping her alive.
10:10Wanting Hak Ki Yoo to feel as wrecked as she did.
10:13She even had sex with the eye doctor at Hak Ki Yoo's house to make Hak Ki Yoo feel worse.
10:18But on the other hand, Deok Yi also feels bad for him.
10:22She's just as broken seeing him like this.
10:25That's why she stays like he wants her to.
10:28They say that life is a box of surprises.
10:31Chong Yi appears when Deok Yi is walking around with Hak Ki Yoo.
10:35Chong Yi knows everything now.
10:38She knows about the affair they had in the past, which is indirectly the cause of her
10:42mother's death.
10:43She also knows about Deok Yi's revenge plan.
10:47After getting a rich sugar daddy, Chong Yi survives and comes back to Korea.
10:52She even paid the debt to the banker.
10:54And now she wants to pay Deok Yi back, who has sold her, seduced her father, and indirectly
10:59brought misfortune to her family.
11:02With the help of his wealthy sugar daddy, she kidnaps the eye doctor and makes him pay.
11:07She also forces Deok Yi to feel his dad's blindness by transplanting her cornea to Hak
11:11Ki Yoo.
11:13The movie ends with Deok Yi and Hak Ki Yoo, sitting by the river.
11:17I guess in the end, they still love each other deep in their heart.
11:21Don't be blinded by love, don't be obsessed with revenge.
11:25Hak Ki Yoo could probably live happily ever after with his family as a successful writer
11:29if only he hadn't played fire with Deok Yi.
