Shit,,, I knew I got up on the wrong side of the bed,
Sir, do a lot of locals pass by here?
Nah,,, Not even locals come here
- Is this a private property? - Not a private property,
Is there an alternative road to get here by vehicle?
Yes, there is!
If you go this way, you can go that way,
The person in charge of this area is village chief, right? If you don't mind, can I get his phone number?
Why?
This is serious right?
Is this a secret investigation?
- Execuse me? - Hey chief!
I need you to be here ASAP,
A detective is here,
It looks like something's just happened here,
No, not that, Sir I am just,,,
- No, no I didn't do it, - I'm just working,
I am a location manager, I am just working right now,
We are hunting for a movie location, Sir,
What's this?
You scared me!
You take photos as if it's a crime scene,
I am sorry,
No, chief, They are shooting a movie here,
She's not a detective,
- She said she's a rocking,,, um,,, something, - Location manager!
By the way,,,
What's a "rocking"?
Location manager, Someone who searches for a place to be used in movies,
[ Boss, I found this place in Kijang, ]
- Have some apple, - Thank you,
Have another one,
- Thank you, Sir! - Take care!
Yes, Sir,
Film location is not all about beautiful scenery,
All other necessary factors must be there to make it on screen,
I am playing hide and seek with film locations hidden somewhere in the vicinity,
- Yes, boss, - Hey, Sun-hwa,
The photo you just sent me, the director says he loves it,
You never disappoint the directors ever!
We are so proud of you, Sun-hwa,
That's great,
I am going to take a look at just one more place before I leave,
Oh, wait, wait, wait,
Right now the director for the next film came into office,,,
What? I am in Kijang, you want me to come back to office?
It's our first meeting, I think you better be here Sun-hwa,
- I will be waiting for you - No, Boss, Boss!
Places are also the inspirations for the story in the movie,
Sometimes, it conveys the director's intentions more deeply than hundred words,
So, among the various shooting conditions, the most difficult thing is the director's mind,
Sun-hwa, these are crews for our next project,
And this is the director,
And this is our location manager & production manager, our dear Gil Sun-hwa
Um,,, as for Sun-hwa,,
What was that name? The bastard, Who was that picky director?
,,,all of a sudden, Then, Sun-hwa was like "Boss, just trust me,"
She was like the main character in those superhero movies,
Anyway,,, I thought we would struggle for sure, Sun-hwa found those places less than 4 days?
Haesol,
What,
Oh, was it 3 days? It's 3 days,
No that's not what I'm saying, I need to talk to you,,,
What,,,?
Oh, okay, I’ll leave you guys here,
Actually, you won’t need to talk to me, She’s in charge of everything,
Haesol!
That's not what I meant, I need to talk to you,
I’m Cha Do-young,
Nice to meet you, Gil Sun-hwa
I should get you guy some coffee,
Why are you dragging me like this in front of everyone,
What is wrong with you today?
You remember the guy I always talk shit about whenever I am drunk?
The one that was drunk and cursed?
It wasn’t just one or two,
- Oh, the one who called you out in private and,,, - No, no,
Oh! The one who always asks you for the location sponsorship,,,
No, My ex, ex-boyfriend,
Oh, oh!
- The bastard who dumped you and took off for Seoul! - Yeah, the bastard’s over there, there, there,
Things will go smoothly, I think,
Don't you think so?
Yeah,
She found those places within three days, I think we found the right person,
Oh, my God,
So,,, What's your plan?
I am gonna tell them we can't do it,
No way!
We can't just walk away,,,
What do you mean? Do you want me to join them?
Sun-hwa,,,
Mrs, Gil?
If we complete this, we can finally have credits for twenty projects here in Busan,
Remember the Hollywood film that’s going to shoot in Busan? We can be part of them for sure!
I can't let some random productions residing in Seoul come down to Busan trying to find a film location,
Oh, it seems our Sun-hwa still has feelings for him,
No, no, That's not it, Boss!
Have I ever turned down a work before?
I cannot do this time for real, No, I won't do it,
Wait, what was the name of the actress you dated?
Kim Sohee, Imagine if Kim Sohee comes back,,,
Why do you bring up that thing again?
Exactly! Put yourself in my shoes!
Sun-hwa~
You just have to be patient for a week,
Your ex-boyfriend,,,
I mean,,,
Director Cha's production seems to have a connection with the Hollywood production,
Try to see the forest, not the trees,
If we do this, we can get the Hollywood one for sure! How many times did you sing to that?
By the way, did he not know I was in charge?
How could I know that?
Director Cha contacted us first,
Come on, And how long was it ago you broke up with him?
We are professionals, right?
Do you want to support other productions from Seoul for the rest of your life?
We deserve more than that,
So we need to take this chance,,,
Forget it! Screw it, I'm done,
What can I do? Sun-hwa just won't do it,,,
Well, as we always have, we can kiss ass again,,,
No,,, no,,,, I can't do that,
My wife left me, now you too, I don't need anyone, just go,
Uh, where are you going?
Let me introduce myself properly,
I'm Gil Sun-hwa, the location manager of NOON production,
- You're the assistant direction, right? - Right,
Please send me the scene number and reference of the place you need,
If I know how it feels like, I can list up the potential locations based on the pool I have,
Have you read the script?
I only have a week, so if you just tell me the scene number to be filmed in Busan,,,
I suggest you read it first,
You need to know the story to find the right place for it,
I know, right,
If my boss gave me the script in advance, I would have refused in advance,,,
Then can you find the place I want?
Yes, I will find all the places in 3 days and send you back to Seoul as soon as possible, DIRECTOR,
Is this the way you work with others, too?
No, No directors were so full of himself that he just spend a week and leave,
This is my first time working with such a great director,,,
,,,anyway, anyway,
Alright, I'll look forward to it,
Okay,
I'm home, Grandma, I'm back,
- Sun-Hwa, you home? - Did you have dinner?
I lost my appetite,
You lost what?
I didn’t know you could ever lose your appetite,
- Wow! Here we are! - Wow, it's so good,
It fits the mood of our movie,
The male and the female protagonist be looking at the scenery here,
Perfect!
- I think it could be used as an ending on that side? - That's right, I knew it,
And the sun seems to rise like this from here, can you please check the sunrise time?
Yes I will check the sunrise time,
It'll be amazing if this place comes after the scene in Seoul,
I think it would be just perfect,
Wow! Here we are,
Wow,,, I think it fits well with the male protagonist's dream scene here,
It's a bit windy, but that's okay, isn't it?
There's a plane passing by, Please check how often airplanes fly by this place
All right,
Sun-hwa, how do you know so many locations?
Ah,,, Here we are,
Are we?
I think it's good,,,
Let's move on to the next place,
- It's really good, - It is,
We didn’t even get there,
What don't you like it so much?
Ah, it doesn’t match with the mood I’ve thought,
Ha,,, I think you're just in a bad mood,,,
Well, what else can I do if you say so?
- He says it doesn’t match! Let's get back to the car! - Okay,,,
You won't be able to deny this,
Sun-hwa
- Sun-hwa? - Yes?
So, you were born and raised in Busan?
Well, yes,
It's a lovely city! I may be biased because I grew up here,
There are many delicious things This is also a good restaurant that only the locals know,
Director Cha loves Busan-style rice soup,
I think he eats 3-4 times a week in Seoul, too,
Do you eat raw fish every day?
If you live in Jangchung-dong, do you eat pork feet every day?
What kind of question is like that?
- Oh, well, then do you,,, - Come down, She is out of breath,
This is my first time in Busan, I have so many questions, I'm sorry,
It's okay, If anyone come from Seoul, they ask at least once,
And the next question will be that,,
Why don't you come to Seoul?
Oh, yeah, You're in the film industry, why not come to Seoul?
I can do it here in Busan, too, I don't think it’s necessary to go to Seoul to make it,
Still, it must not have been easy because the infrastructure was all focused on Seoul,,,
Oh, didn't you also say that's why came to Seoul?
It’s hard to do it properly in Busan, Am I, right?
There is a saying these days,
Whoever will be, will be,
No matter where you are, Regardless where you live Seoul or Busan
I am right, right?
Depending on where you are, success can come faster,
Ah, yes, it went well very quickly and eventually you came back to Busan again,
If only I had been to Busan by now,
I must not have seen you like this,
Here you go,
Oh, I think you should eat, Bon appetite,
Jin-ho,
let's stop by one more place after the meal,
But we've been to all the places that you sent us,,,
Oh, I totally forgot about this one place, It just came to my mind,
Oh, okay,
Enjoy your meal!
[ I'll be there by 11 o'clock tomorrow, When is the meeting? ]
Looks like a lot of work,
Yeah,,,
- Sun-hwa, - Huh?
I’ve got accepted as a transfer student,,, at the film school in Seoul,
When did you do the interview?
On my last vacation of military service,
Why didn't you tell me?
- I've told you, - You haven’t,
You asked me to talk about this later because you were busy with your work,
,,,then when do you have to go to Seoul?
Soon, I applied for a dormitory,,,
If it doesn't pan out, I'll have to be there early to find an apartment,
I should go finish my degree early so that I can get you anything you want to eat,
If you go to Seoul, it seems like we're going to break up for some reason,
What does that mean?
It just feels that way,
Can't we go together?
There will be more jobs in Seoul, with your resume,,,
Hey,
What,,,
Forget it,
What,
It's your dream to go to Seoul,
You just care about yourself!
Why are you so stubborn? Think about this more realistically,
I'm here with the people I like, I will spend my time doing what I love here,
Go by yourself,
Go alone and make the most of it, Please do it, all right,
What can I do for you while I am left here?
Why are you not stopping me? Why are you not stopping me?
[Customers using the KTX train going to Seoul Station at 15:30, please go to Platform 5,]
I think it'll be fine, It's for the scene where they break up, right?
Right, If we can block the whole path,,,
I think this place will be better, The scene will become more emotional,
I'll talk about this scene with the director,,,
Didn't you send a reference?
I saw the reference,
It's a scene where the female protagonist breaks up with the male protagonist,
This is how it looks for now, but when it gets dark and,,,
especially if a woman walks here alone, she would look very sad,
Gil Sun-hwa,
What,
- What are we doing? - What do you mean?
Why did you bring us here?
I think there's a misunderstanding,
I only listed the places I thought they would fit well if they appeared in a movie,
If you don't like it, please just tell my boss directly,
Let's leave out our personal feelings, Let's just work, when we work,
To me, it's just a location, and it doesn't mean anything,,,
So, there's no personal feelings to leave out,
You have no feelings to leave out?
Are you sure about that?
Very nice,
It's good, If you take a full shot, it comes out like this,
But from a distance, it definitely feels different,
Standing here, your complicated feelings about that scene,,,
Those things seem to come to mind, too,,,
Sun-hwa,
I need to take some pictures for the continuity, Stay there for a moment,
I think it's good, Wait one more time,,,
I'm sorry but it's for the continuity, Hang on…
There's a place I’d like to go,
They said it's been a while since it got torn down,
Director Cha, what was here?
A movie theater,
We don’t need a movie theater for our script,
As time goes by, nothing can stay the same,
It is a great mistake to think that it'll never change forever in the same form there,
Awesome, Look at that,
The scenery is nice, the scenery,
Where is that place?
How did they find such a beautiful place?
It’s too close,
Let’s focus,
Are you sure you want to be a movie director? You’re not paying attention,
Oh, come on, Eyes on the screen,
- Have you seen it all? - Yes,
It’s good, right? You were dying to watch this on screen,
I know, But I think you need to watch it properly again,
Stop it, You are giving me goose bumps,
- Thank you for lending me the theatre, - It's Sun-hwa's birthday, this’s nothing,
This is just between you and me,,,
No one comes at this time these days,
I'm going to get packed up and leave now,
- Bye, - Bye,
Thank you, sis, Let's go,
It's your birthday, I should’ve taken you somewhere nicer,
No, This is my all-time favorite place,
Besides, you rented the whole theater,
- We need to watch this one, too, - Okay,
Why are in love with me?
All of a sudden?
Um,,, I didn't have any dreams, but you made me have one,
What?
That's the reason? Because I made you have a dream?
Then, why don't you meet your school counselor?
- No, but,,, - But what? What! What!
You liked me first, right?
- Hey, you said you liked me first? - Did I?
Yes! And I had crush on someone else, back then,
If you were not there then, I'd really be with that,,,
What? Who is he?
- Nobody, Let's just move on, - Well, how could I not know about this,
Are you upset, Do-young?
No,
You look upset,
I'm not,
Okay, then, You're upset for sure,
- I'm not! - Come quickly,
I’m upset, I’m, I’m, Let's do it once more,
Properly, this time,
- Soju? - With Sashimi, you need Soju
How did you know I was here?
The main road is gone, I have to pass your house to go to my place now,
The light on the first floor was on, so I thought you were here,
- You should let me know if you're here, - I’m only going to stay here for a week, so,
Even if it's just for a week, you should let me know,
Just forget it, I don’t get you anyway,
Let’s just drink,
Your father was came down a few days ago,
- He was here? - You should call him often at least,
I heard you are going to film again,
Is that the one? Are you planning to shoot in Busan?
- Some places in Busan, - Busan’s nice,
There's a new cafe down the street, did you see it?
Why don’t you shoot there?
Did you open a cafe this time?
Busted,
I don't know when I'll go bankrupt,
I should have gone to Seoul with you,
I met Sun-hwa,
Huh?
I asked her to find the places,
Holy,,,
Do you think you are in Hollywood or something?
You work with your ex?
How can you have such a mindset?
I think Sun-hwa can find it,
So?
You’re crazy, man,
You can just shoot at the cafe, It will always be open for you,
Because? It opens for 24/7,
Our cafe is great!
I'll give you a discount,
The floor is translucent!
It has already been done and an official letter has been sent, too,
Please board,
- Could you check how long it takes to get there? - Okay!
What?
The shooting is the day after tomorrow,
You should’ve told me beforehand, I'm out busy right now,
- Please board, - We need to get in! Let's get in!
Okay, I'm sorry, but I have to call you back,
Why are you here?
I'll just watch here,
- Oh, are you with them? - Yes,
Wait a minute! Sun-hwa! What should we do? Do-young!
Ah, sorry, I will let you hop on the next one,
Let's get on, I'll hold you,
You weren't this bad before,
I'm fine,
If you don't look down, it's just the same, Think you are on a train,
- Don’t you have to take pictures for the continuity? - Oh, yeah,
I can take it for you,
Can't you just,,, stay next to you?
Did you know that the theater got torn down?
Yes, but I saw it for the first time,
- Do you have any experience filming here? - Yes,
- What type of? - I shot a movie,
For a very long time, I forgot about…
this place,
It’s really nice,
- It would be nice to shoot, too, - We are here to eat, not to work,
It's just that the light is also LED, not tungsten,
I think it's the first time I've had a drink with you, director,
That's right, our director doesn't come out to drinks often,
This is the place where you used to come when you were in Busan, right?
Um,,, Well, sometimes,
Oh!
Sun-hwa, have you ever been here, too?
Yes,,,
Oh, I guess it's a famous one,
There are also pictures over there, let's see them later,
Shall we ask them to take a picture, too?
Wow, there's heavy traffic jam today!
I'm so sorry,
Let's move on to the next one,
It's too late, I don't think I can do the second round,
See you later,
- Which way are you going? - We're going this way,
- Oh, I have to go that way, See you later, - Thanks for your efforts, today
Yes, Bye, Be careful, Hae-Sol! See you,
Ah, uh, Let's go director Cha,
Oh, God, I almost killed you,
Why are you going this way at night?
None of your business,
It's dangerous at night,,, you want a company?
You're more dangerous,
Where’s Soo-Hyun? How's Soo-Hyun doing?
Ask Soo-Hyun to come out then I'll leave,
Oh, well, Then, I'll walk you home,
How's your grandmother doing?
She said she missed you because you left without saying goodbye,
How about you?
- Come out, - What's this? Are you drunk again?
Soo-Hyun will come out,
The pictures are still there,
What picture,
The picture we took,
What's the big deal?
It’s a big deal for me,
You’re really good at making me lose my mind,
Why did you come back here?
I guess everything must’ve reminded you of the old days,
You left everything behind here,
It was hard for me to go out and even stay at home because we were everywhere and did everything together,
You always do what you want,
If you want to go, you go, If you want to come, you come,
It’ll be much easier for you because you can just leave like you did before, right?
Please just get your work done here quickly and leave,
Let's not try to do anything else,
Don't you have work to do tomorrow?
What are you going to do after graduation? Do you want to go to Seoul?
I’m not sure, yet,
Just go,
You honestly want to go,
Well, to be honest, I might want to,
- Might? - It’s just,,,
What am I going to do? What will change if I go?
I wanted to stay here at my will,
I had the confidence that I could do anything here,
I'm listening, I'm listening,
But,,, if you want to go, you should go,
Otherwise, you’ll probably blame your environment and regret yourself,
Have you ever regretted that you didn't go to Seoul,
Nope, I've been thinking about what it would be like,,,
But I'm fully satisfied with where I am,
You're lying,
If you followed Do-Young then,,, I guess you two would've still be dating,
It was me that broke us up,
And even if we went to Seoul together, we would have broken up,
At that time, he cared more about his dream,
and I cared more about my life,
Hey, Soo-Hyun,
Let's go home,
- Are you okay? - Toenails is about to fall out,
You should be more careful, Take this,
About the movie we watched today,,, all the locations stood out, right?
Right,
You know,
I like movies that make me feel the power of location rather than story itself,
You’re unique, Gil Sun-hwa,
So, what, You going to hate me?
When I shoot mine in the future, you can find the places,
Ha, you're cocky, I can but,,, You should ask me more politely than that,
You're not giving me an order, We are doing it together,
I think you can make a lot of enemies,
Alright, alright so will you do it for me?
I'll think about it,
- Don't you think I can pick out places really well? - Yes, I think so, too,
I mean, there are many good places in Busan,
I'm going to make a location book and collect all the good places,
You know how important location is in the movie, right?
I'll show you my best when you shoot in the future,
- Grandma, - Uh, Oops, sorry!
- Yes, - I have had a dream since childhood,
What is that?
Having a big brother,
I wish I had an older brother instead of my sister,,,
Since I was born,,, I found that I had a sister,
- What about your sister? - Grandma,
I know she’s your granddaughter but, if you stick up for her like that, she'll be spoiled,
Hey! How dare you!
Stop, both of you,
By the way, what's your name?
Oh, I’m Do-young, Cha Do-young,
Cha Do-young? It's too late, stay the night,
Oh, yes!
Why are you blushing?
Sun-hwa,
Yeah?
I’ve been thinking about this, but I think I really need to go to Seoul,
Huh?
Don't you think so?
I'm not sure if I'll succeed even if I keep up with others,,
All the seniors went to Seoul, too,
If I stay here, it will make me fall behind,
All the seniors are successful because they worked hard,
It has nothing to do with going to Seoul,
I think things will go better if I do it with you,,,
Let's go to Seoul with me,
Why are you so obsessed of being successful so early?
Why are you in a hurry everyday?
Even if it takes a while, I'll do it here,
The two of us can do it,
'Cause I just got the feeling!
- Good morning, - Good morning,
Hee-Yeon, send this to the actors before we read on the 27th,
Where’s Director Cha?
- He’s not coming today, - What?
What am I gonna do with the location?
Oh, you haven't heard from him yet?
He said all the locations that you showed us were great, So, he’d stick with them,
Oh, by the way,,, But I couldn't ask what he'd do with scene number 96,
- Scene number 96? - Yes, he really wanted to find that scene in Busan,
Call him and ask what he wants,
I can't reach him, right now, He might be somewhere looking for the scene number 96,
Or torturing himself as usual to figure it out,
Oh, I heard he has a place he wants to go to by himself tomorrow,
and he will come on time for train departure,
- Yes, boss, - Hey, Sun-hwa, Are you home?
Yes,
Well, it must have been difficult for you to work, but you did well,
I was just doing my job,
Haha, Ah, the next one came in, and I will get the script next week,
Get some rest tomorrow and see you next week, Sun-hwa,
Okay, see you next week,
My job is to find out hidden places,
But, there’s a place I want to keep it hidden from others,
I thought you didn't like the places, Why did you say okay to all?
They were all good,
What about the scene number 96?
I haven't found it yet,
But do I have to find it in Busan?
I thought I could find it when I come to Busan,
Sometimes you can magically find the place when you just wander around leaving your destination blank,
And then you realize, “oh, I almost missed it,”
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever gone without a destination,
What kind of atmosphere should #96 have?
How did you feel?
It should look nice, but feel empty,
How have you been?
I've been busy,
What about you?
How does it feel to have your dreams come true?
It's nice,,,
but it feels a bit empty,
There was no place I couldn't find,
I can’t believe I couldn’t find you a location,
It left a stain on my career because of you,
What time is your train?
Ten o'clock
Go and get ready well,
Shall I walk you home?
You don’t have to,
By the way,,,
Nothing,
What is it?
Come on,
Your name goes on top of the ending credit but it doesn’t mean it’s all yours,
All the others care about the movie as much as you do,
I mean, don’t torture yourself, You can always share yours thoughts with others,
You're going to be late, I am going this way,
Sun-hwa,
Actually,
I have a lot to say to you,,,
I wander around Busan looking for a place like a movie, In fact, there is no place like a movie,
Even if it's a street you see in everyday life,
if they can deliver the director’s intentions, that place becomes the street of the film,
- Cut! - Cut!
- Is scene number 96 okay? - Just a second,,,
There's no problem with the continuity,,, and the camera,
All right, Okay for the scene number 96!
Okay,
Next scene, Scene number 34, Let's move on,,,
A jackpot, a jackpot, a jackpot, a jackpot,
In the last scene, the male and female protagonists swoop into the street,,,
Sun-hwa,,,
I haven't seen that one yet, Don't tell me anything,
That's right, I'm sorry,
Anyway, I want to watch this one more time for sure! I'll be back,
Are you going there, again?
Oh, tell me where it is, Let me go and get some rest,
- Do you want me to tell you? - Yes,
I won't tell anyone!
Bye~
Hey,
how did you know this place?
I was just passing by,,, I thought it would be good to sneak in to sleep,
Is there a movie theater near here?
Yes,,,
I’ve never seen one,
It's a small theater, so people who aren't interested don't know,
Hey, when are you coming back here?
Pardon?
Let's just set the date,
I think I knew this place before you did, so,,, I'll take every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,
I finish my class late on Tuesdays and Thursdays anyway,
What?
Come on! I mean, it's important,
I was just here for my assignment today,
You can just come here whenever you want to, I guess,,,
Really? Are you sure?
You’re not going to change your mind, right?
- Right, - Okay,
By the way,,,
If I come on the days you mentioned earlier…
Are you always here?
