NO OUTSIDE VISITORS ALLOWED IN THE RESIDENCE

ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS

AND INCIDENTS APPEARING IN THIS FILM ARE FICTITIOUS

Tropical Storm Gini has arrived in Korea as it advances north,

and a typhoon watch has been issued all around the country.

Especially, Gyeonggi region is experiencing heavy rain

of 30 to 40mm per hour

as well as strong wind,

which will cause a considerable amount of damage.

Please take all precautionary measures to reduce the damage from this storm.

I don't think anyone is here.

Why?

This was a novel I began to write while I lived in this residence.

Yes.

Until the day I came to this place,

I always thought the world I lived in was hell,

not this place.

However,

the real hell was this place.

A horrendous hell created by strangers.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU

This place was hell.

A horrendous hell created by strangers.

How did I end up falling into this hell?

What did I ever do wrong?

-Goodness. -I'm sorry.

Excuse me, sir. Sir!

Hey!

JI-EUN

-Hey, Ji-eun. -Jong-u, did you arrive?

Why does he leave like that even though I'm calling him out?

Man, the weather is awful.

Is something going on? You don't sound too well.

What? No, it's nothing. Is it okay for you to call? Aren't you at work?

-Oh, I'm working away from the office. -You're out of the office?

I took on a new program, so I'm meeting this reporter.

Right, that new TV show you're in charge of?

Jong-u, I have to go now. I'll call you later.

Seoul.

It's my laptop.

It's all shattered right here.

-That'll be 200,000 won. -200,000 won?

-Yes. -But the screen... It's just the screen.

-Hey, let's do this. -Yes.

Just fix it for him at 180,000 won.

It's that expensive to replace just the screen?

I'm practically giving it away to you. Don't tell anyone else.

It costs over 300,000 won at the official service center.

Then please do make sure you fix it well.

-Sure. -Don't worry. I'll make it almost new.

Do make it look new, will you?

-Yes, sir. -Okay.

Excuse me, how much does it cost to replace a laptop screen?

How big is it?

Mine's 15 inches.

It's 200,000 won,

but I'll do it for 150,000 won.

-For 150,000 won? -Yes.

If you pay with cash, I'll take off a little more.

Come and give it a try. We're giving away prizes

no matter which mark you hit.

We're doing giveaways right now!

Come and give it a try.

We're giving away a laptop for the first place winner!

Congratulations! You got fifth place. Come and take your gift.

Congratulations!

May I try... Could I...

Of course, go ahead and give it another try.

I only won five last place gifts.

But still, it's pretty.

-Hello? -Yes, this is Eden Residence.

I just saw... I called about the room you're renting out. Is it still available?

Of course.

-Is your rent 190,000 won? -Yes, it is.

Then I'll stop by in a little bit.

-Sure, see you soon. -Yes.

EDEN RESIDENCE

How am I going to live in a place like this?

This really isn't right.

EDEN RESIDENCE

LAND, FACTORY, STORAGE FOR SALE OR RENT GORAE REAL ESTATE

-Are you the young man who just called? -Yes.

Goodness, it must've been tough to walk up in this hot weather.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Don't mention it. It's pretty desolate, so first-time visitors all get confused.

Here, have this.

You had a great voice on the phone, and you look handsome too.

-I... -Look at how sweaty you are.

I saw that men's rooms and women's rooms are separated here as I walked up.

You must have a lot of rooms.

No, that was ages ago.

Everyone left when the area was designated for redevelopment, so only a few remains.

When will the redevelopment happen?

I heard they'll begin in six months.

Why? Are you here for the long haul?

No, I'll leave soon.

That's great news, then.

The rent only went down because we're getting redeveloped.

We have a great facility here.

I'm always concerned about the health of our residents... Gosh, that's room 302.

I think of our residents' health, so I give out eggs for free

and make kimchi myself too. See if this is for room 303.

-Is it? -Yes, it is.

Why can't I see this?

I'm sure you shopped around.

You won't find a place like this.

Here. Take a look.

Goodness, there's garbage.

You won't find a place like this with that price in Seoul.

You said you're leaving soon anyway.

Yes, I'll leave soon, but...

Even if this area will be redeveloped, how can it be so cheap?

Goodness. My gosh.

I'm a deaconess at church, so I really can't lie.

I'll be frank.

Someone who lived here before you committed suicide.

What?

No, it didn't happen in this room.

Gosh, I don't want to do my business by fooling others,

so that's why I'm telling you.

Are you not from Seoul?

I came from another town.

-I see. Are you a college student? -No, I work.

Really? You looked so young that I thought you were in college.

-I... -What's with you?

Stop blocking my way in this hot weather.

Mr. An, why are you like that again?

Turn on the air conditioner already. I'm going to die from this heat.

I mean, he could just slide by. Why is he getting so angry?

Goodness, that thug or something is really getting on my nerves.

-Young man, don't worry. -Okay.

He'll be gone soon.

He'll be leaving.

Come this way. I'll make some iced coffee for you.

You can give it a thought while you drink that.

Everyone else is nice other than that guy.

I see.

Here, have some.

So? Did you make your decision?

Okay. What? Yes, right here.

Yes, right here. Okay. Okay, good. You made a good choice.

Okay, then. Take this.

You can go to that room you saw, room 303.

This is a spare key, so don't lose it.

Yes.

Make yourself at home and relax.

And you share the restroom and the shower with everyone.

-It might be troublesome, but just use it. -Okay.

-Everyone here ended up doing well. -Okay.

Do have a good life here.

Nice to meet you.

Don't mention it. Nice to meet you too.

Goodness, that's noisy.

Hello.

Do you have something to say?

That... That isn't your room.

Your room is... right here.

Do you live here?

I'll be living here starting today.

The bed is creaking.

It's moldy, and it smells like... Gosh.

And I get barely any sunlight in here.

Okay, I'll stay here for just six months

until I save up enough for key money.

I won't find another place like this at this price.

Yes, Mom.

Jong-u, did you arrive well?

Yes, I got here well.

How's your friend's place? Is it all right?

It's fine.

Be good to your friend.

Okay. Don't mind me.

-One second. Who is it? -Oh, okay. You must be busy.

Open the door.

-Mom, I'll call you later. -Okay. Make sure you eat well.
