Manhole (맨홀)

The bride needs to be in her room.

I'll help you.

Nonsense.

You're helping me by sitting right here.

Do not come out until your groom comes.

- Okay. - You look great.

Bong Pil, a 28-year-old.

He's been studying for a test for three years.

The center of the story, and the main character.

My love disappeared like a shooting star.

Like my dad's 20-year-old ginseng wine,

when people make the wine,

everyone expects it to be sweeter over time.

But the love in my heart is...

extremely bitter like a chalice full of poison.

Buy the box!

- Buy the box! - Buy the box!

Buy the box!

- Buy the box! - Is anyone home?

Soo Jin, it has been 28 years.

Yes, it has been 28 years.

I believe...

our love began 28 years ago.

We were born three days apart...

in the same hospital.

We have used the same bed since 28 years ago.

I waited for a right time to confess my love.

But shockingly, she says she'll get married...

to a guy she met a few months ago.

You only get one chance in life.

Life never turns out...

the way you want it to be.

I can't live with all this noise.

So noisy.

- My goodness, welcome. - We can't take this.

- We can't go in. - Goodness, come on.

Move aside.

- Move over. - Over there.

- Goodness! - Go over there.

What's going on?

Goodness, I can't live with all this noise.

Did you rent out the entire neighborhood?

What on earth are you doing this late at night?

How dare you people make loud noise here?

Hey, ignore the guy. Buy the box!

- Buy the box! - Buy the box!

- Welcome. - Just come in.

You need to give it here.

No, this way.

- This way. - Darn it.

My goodness.

What's going on?

What is this?

Why are you hitting me?

I mean, look. Do you know what time it is right now?

What time is it right now?

- It's 9pm. - Oh, 9pm.

If it's 9pm,

does it give you the right to wear this thing...

and create a havoc in my neighborhood?

Is marriage that great?

Marriage is...

nothing but a graveyard for your youth, idiots.

Darn it, man. Who do you think you are?

Gosh, you're scaring me.

- Hey! - What?

Kang Soo Jin, a 28-year-old.

The femme fatale of the neighborhood.

She was Pil's love,

but she has a week left until her wedding.

Soo Jin, just go back in.

It's fine.

Hey!

Stop calling me.

These are Pil's parents.

Soon-to-retire postmaster and a housewife.

They gave up on their son a long time ago.

I remember.

The day when a beast who never knew love...

finally became a human.

Third grade.

When Soo Jin was assigned to sit next to me,

I realized what love is.

I remember expressing...

my realization in a radical yet honest way.

But I was too progressive for that time,

and Soo Jin was way too conservative.

She cried for two hours after she sat next to me,

and I told her I'll take the responsibility.

Darn it.

That is when everything started to get twisted.

Let's see...

Mom.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad, Dad.

Hey, Mom.

Mom.

They were both just here. Dad, Dad.

Where did they go?

Whatever.

Hey, Pil.

I heard you made a scene during Soo Jin's ceremony.

It's sad news for you.

You lurked around her like a fly around poop.

Hey!

- What? - That's disgusting.

But it's awful like poop.

Stop talking about poop. Stop it already.

Okay.

You must be sad.

I'll make you some juice. Grab one before you go.

You can blend them...

and drink the juice, okay?

Darn it, why are you taking this out on me?

Yun Jin Sook, a 28-year-old.

She was born and raised in Pil's neighborhood.

She's a friend who knows everything about him.

Do you have a smoke?

I heard Soo Jin did the box ceremony.

Give me a smoke, please.

Is her wedding a week after today?

A smoke.

I don't have anything to wear to a wedding.

Do you have a smoke, you idiot?

Forget about her wedding. Do you have a smoke?

Do you have a smoke?

Jo Seok Tae, a 28-year-old.

He's been studying for six years.

His life looks hopeless.

I heard the passing rate for the test is 268 to 1.

I think I'll turn 30...

before I pass this test.

Test? Test is good.

Darn it.

What you're studying for is barely a test.

You lied to Bongbong Pub about studying for a bar.

Hey, all public servant exams are the same.

Judges and prosecutors are public servants too.

You're studying for level nine exam too.

Hey, I'm studying to be a cop.

You and I are totally different.

A cop? What if I study hard and pass,

and you fail?

I'll be a civil servant and you'll be jobless.

What then?

Then you and I will be different.

I told you.

Those who can't make it can't make it.

That's you.

So stop dreaming, punk.

Hey, you look like...

you can't make it either.

You've been after Soo Jin all these years.

But she's marrying someone else.

Look who's talking.

How can you say that to your friend?

Do you really want to die?

Hey!

I'm trying to study here.

How dare you...

disturb people who are studying for exams?

Get lost if you aren't going to study.

Which exam is he preparing for?

I don't know.

Level seven. Prosecution officer. Punks.

Okay.

Kill the groom.

- How can I kill him? - Hey...

This is why...

he's been studying for six years...

and you're selling juice.

Hey, don't compare us.

I'm CEO Yun.

I'm a young entrepreneur.

Why are you eating ramyeon at my table?

Go to the convenience store.

It's too crowded there.

Pil, I'll finish yours.

Pil.

How will you stop the wedding?

It's in two days.

I'll stop it.

You'll see. I will.

That's right. He will. Don't worry.

Don't you remember?

He fell running the 1,000m relay race.

So our school couldn't compete at the nationals.

Pil is great at stopping things.

What?

Also, he's good with credit cards.

He pays credit card bills with another credit card.

So don't worry. I know him.

Is the ramyeon making you drunk?

Gosh! It's hot!

Are you both crazy?

Help me!

Are you okay?

- It stings. - Goodness.

You got seriously burnt.
