(Korean Movies) Love Fiction, 2011

The sharp memories of the first kiss
I have completely turned the direction of my destiny

I am deaf to the sound of your fragrant words
Blinded by the flower-like face

you were an exclamation mark for me
I was the end for you

The weather is nice! did
I rented a car

You're kind of sad today! did
I immediately blew up a 3 piece set of low quality dances.

You are sometimes a question mark

What is love? did
I replied that it was the fear that accompanies your absence.

What are your countermeasures against global warming? did
I replied that the whole human race lives in the nude.

– Captivated by the perfect muse, Hee-jin (Gong Hyo-jin),
Leaving her prisoner 'Joo-wol' (Ha Jung-woo)
