The Puppet (꼭두각시)

The Puppet

Of the suicidal methods, taking pills or slashing one's wrists

rather means you desire to live.

In other words,

it means "I'm dying. Look at me."

is a way of attempting communication.

Are you miserable?

Now, you will begin to leave the circle of your pain.

If pain approaches you,

You will naturally be hypnotized.

Sadness leaves your mind,

and blood rushes through your body.

Your thought refreshes like peppermint candy,

calm like a pond,

and you find peace.

Take it.

A blind date?

Not a blind date, it's an arranged meeting.

Same thing. What kind of lady do you want?

Well... quiet and kind.

How should I put it... oh!

Like a model wife...

So... An ugly and foolish girl...

Geez... What do you know about love?

I know it too well.

It's a chemical reaction when the brain releases phenyl ethylamine and oxytocin.

If you want to know in detail,

stuff yourself with chocolate.

You'll get a similar effect.

A person gets locked in a freezer.

Obviously, next day he is discovered frozen to death.

What's not obvious is the power of the freezer was out.

You who just walked in.

How did it happen?

I think...

it's the result of our conscious knowing that it's a freezer and the thought of freezing.

I will give you 70 percent.

It could've been 80 if you weren't late.

Hypnosis is not magic.

It is wrongly termed.

Hypnosis is used variously in modern science.

Dental care, painless delivery,

these are some of the examples.

I have a question.

Yes.

Can we use hypnosis for our personal use?

What do you mean?

For example,

to seduce a girl...

get her to fall in love with me...

It's not impossible in theory.

If you are under hypnosis, dependence grows stronger,

and if you use its fundamentals, we have what's called posthypnotic.

When posthypnotic is used,

you can control one's behavior and emotions.

That's hard to believe...

Do you have any medical evidence?

Patients that you and I have to deal with

have monsters in their hearts created from psychological trauma.

Scientific evidence is discussed plenty in laboratories and in libraries.

Isn't result enough?

Then can you prove it?

Of course.

If I have a subject.

Anyone want to experience hypnosis?

I will do it.

She is under hypnosis.

When you give her a command,

that command is encoded in her unconscious mind.

We call a command after hypnosis posthypnotic.

You will wake up from hypnosis.

When I clap,

you will erase the board.

No matter what happens, you focus on erasing the board.

Then you wake up when I count to 3.

One.

Two.

Three.

Are you OK?

How do you feel?

My mind is clear, and I feel comfortable.

It's amazing.

Good job. Now, you can go back to your seat.

Maam. Go back to your seat.

Maam.

Stop it.

Stop it and go back to your seat.

You don't like pork soup?

No... I haven't had it for a long time.

Plus it's still early...

Ah...

I'm sorry. I don't like coffee very much.

Do you want to go elsewhere?

No, I'm fine.

Thank you.

Hyun-jin... what's wrong? Are you feeling ill?

No...

Let's get out of here.

Are you OK?

Oh, it's the professor.

Professor!

Your lecture was awesome today.

And since I helped your lecture today,

you have to do me a favor next time.

So,

you went to eat pork soup? Such a loser...

Yeah, it turned out that way.

Anyways, good luck.

Once you get those girls in bed with you,

it's all highway.

Ji-hoon.

What?

Are you lonely?

What?

Ji-hoon, are you lonely?

When I see you change girls every night,

I don't think you're happy.

When you talk about it, your eyes tell me how lonely you are.

Aren't you?

No problem.

Then why do they get teary?

It's not from a nose. What's the problem?

No, they keep getting teary.

Are you that lonely?

What?

Loneliness is one of the modern diseases.

When someone gets lonely, he gets depressed, leading to lack of appetite or indigestion.

It can lead to greater problems.

You can die that way.

Loneliness comes from lack of sunlight

and decrease in hormone release of serotonin.

I recommend Vitamin D in that case.

Ji-hoon.

What?

It's not embarrassing to be lonely.

You need to get yourself a nice girl.

Like me.

Oh, right!

Hyun-jin will be coming here later today.

She'll go to see you. Be nice.

About what?

She has insomnia.

Oh... nice.

Please!

You have insomnia?

Everything we say here is strictly confidential.

You can talk to me.

I...

actually...

Dissociated Identity Disorder?

Yeah.

Simply put, double personality.

Plus she hallucinates.

Of course, trauma is the reason.

You want to avoid two types of women.

One, with a past,

and the other, with mental problems.

This one has both.

Dump her before you get too involved.

I'm telling you 'cause you're my friend.

My poor Hyun-jin...

I will take better care of her.

It must've been very hard on her.

She must be suffering from insomnia right now...

but I'm here drinking...

I shouldn't be.

Hey, you...

I'll see you later.

Hey!

What a crazy bastard...

We call that love.

So you are saying that his brain

is overproducing phenyl ethylamine?

When I open my eyes in the morning,

she is staring at me.

at work...

in subway...

She follows me everywhere I go...

I can't sleep without pills...

Then I lose my consciousness.

When I regain consciousness, I don't know what I did...

Some say it's something spiritual.

That I need to contact the dead...

It's a symptom that's found with...

extreme stress or external shock.

A ghost in the 21st century is not likely.

It's like cold.

Except it's not the body but mind.

You can get better if treated.

First,

I need to talk to your other self under hypnosis.

Now forget your name.

Now... you can't remember your name.

One, two, three.

Who are you?

Me?

Isn't what you're really curious about

this body?

It's a nice body.

Beautiful...
