[On the beach]

Jang Mi Ran: "I-like-Hwang-Dong-Man-And-you-like-me-too Huh...What was that buzz?"

notices that the watch on Hwang Dong Man's wrist says AWKWARD.

Jang Mi Ran: "What do you mean by awkward? Tell me!"

Hwang Dong Man: "I like Ms Byeon Euon-a"

[ In the van, everybody stares at their phone]

Jang Mi Ran: "If I catch any of you texting each other, you're dead. And of course, you stop instantly. I mean seriously, Awkward? Why feel awkward? Did I ask you to like me back? Who says we can like one person? Why are people so narrow minded? Byeon Euon-a. Is that what you think too? Is it right for him to feel awkward because I said I like him? I'd be thrilled if someone I like said they like me. Wouldn't you?"

Byeon Euon-a: "I would."

Jang Mi Ran: "Exactly. So how could you feel awkward?"

“But my biggest fear is looking ridiculous if I admit that I’m scared.”

DongMan - 'why are you always so good to me'

EunA - 'because you deserve it'

"There’s a worst kind of feeling I never want to go through. It’s hard to put into words. It’s like being trapped in a hole that’s only 30 cm wide but 100 m deep, unable to move an inch. That’s what it’s like."
– Hwang Dong Man

"Words i’ve never spoken in my life. Help me.

But the words I found to save you, ended up saving me instead."

– Hwang Dong Man

—That’s a relief. I’m a really embarrassing guy.

—I wouldn’t say “really” Just a little. You’re a little embarrassing but very lovable.

(Conversation between Hwang Dong Man & Byeon Eun A)

"You know what? When someone comes at us hard, our hearts sink, and we think, “Did I do something wrong?” We blame ourselves too easily. Self-reflection is the language of the weak. Have you ever seen bad people reflect on their actions? Don’t reflect on this."

– Byeon Eun A

"Everyone problably struggled to write these. But no one reads them… and they just get thrown away. What’s the point of all of this? Everything disappears in the end anyway. So why… are we living such hard lives… as if we’ll never disappear? As if… we’ll never disappear. As if we’ll never… disappear."
– Hwang Dong Man

"Let me try writing a different life story. Let’s just go for it."
– No Gang Sik

All stories are just cries that we exist.

"I exist in such a painful way."

"I exist in such a sad way."

"I exist in such a depressed way."

"I exist in such a humorous way."

We get 100 years at best.

Everything disappears in 100 years, so does anything truly exist if it disappears? To lay those doubts to rest, you end up desperately writing stories.

If you have to write stories, for as long as you live, you might as well make them humorous. I couldn't live that way, but you can live with humor.
