Episode #1.5 (2010)

Ha Ji-Won: Gil Ra Im

Quotes 

• Gil Ra Im : Jerk.

  Kim Joo Won : THAT'S the woman I know.

• [Both Ra Im and Oska are both annoyed with Joo Won] 

  Choi 'Oska' Woo Young : Let's make a toast without him.

  Gil Ra Im : Sounds good.

  Choi 'Oska' Woo Young : Here's to the nights of Jeju before us, and to your eyes, which are more mysterious and beautiful than the night. Cheers!

  [Joo Won chokes on his food] 

  Gil Ra Im : [laying it on thick for Joo Won's discomfort]  Could the reason for the beauty in my eyes be due to the dazzling star who journeyed down from heaven to sit in front of me?

  [Joo Won chokes on his water] 

  Choi 'Oska' Woo Young : Ah, oh my! You've outted me. If I'm too bright for your eyes, please let me know. I shall turn around for you.

  Gil Ra Im : Oh! No! I would rather have my eyes blinded.

  [Joo Won drops his fork] 

• Gil Ra Im : What kind of a person spends $100,000 at department stores every year? What's the huge difference between me and them?

  Kim Joo Won : Even if I tell you, you wouldn't understand.

  Gil Ra Im : Are you planning to explain it in English? Try just saying it. I'll be one to understand.

  Kim Joo Won : How much do you have in your bank account?

  Gil Ra Im : Not much, why?

  Kim Joo Won : That's it. That's the difference.

  Gil Ra Im : What?

  Kim Joo Won : You know how much you have in the bank. Unlike you, they have no idea how much they have in their accounts. Their bank balances increase every second, nationally as well as oversees. That's the easiest thing to understand so far. Now, do you know what comes from economic inequality? Social hierarchy. In spending $100,000 a year, they want only two things: unfairness and discrimination. If they can't rule, they at least want a segregated world for themselves. That is their presumed entitlement and their collective perspective.

  Gil Ra Im : Are you also like that?

  Kim Joo Won : There's no reason for me not to be.

• Lim Jong Su : Where are you staying?

  Gil Ra Im : You don't have to worry about that. There's a sauna within twenty minutes of here.

  [Note: "jjimjilbang" is a Korean dry sauna, a very cheap place to stay overnight - somewhat similar in appeal to American YMCA's or European hostels] 

  Kim Joo Won : What? Sauna?

  Lim Jong Su : Have you always been such a thoughtless hooligan or, now that you've had a few experiences, do you feel you can ignore what I say?

• Kim Joo Won : Tell me, there is an old man inside you, isn't there?

  Gil Ra Im : I have a few.

• Kim Joo Won : By the bye, let me hug you once.

  Gil Ra Im : What?

  Kim Joo Won : Like you said, there are only two types of girls for me: the type you marry, and the type with whom you play around and then leave - but you're somewhere between these two types, so let me hug you once.
