Roommate (룸메이트)

Roommate

What are your thoughts? Feelings?

It went by in a flash.

Time goes by so quickly.

It was fun, and it was nice that we seemed like a family.

There were times we laughed together and times we cried together.

Because they always took care of me, made food for me

I felt comfortable.

Whenever I came here I felt like I'd come home.

There was always someone to listen to me.

I think it's really nice to have that. And I'm thankful.

No. This seems like a place where people really live.

It's already been four months since they've lived together.

We met as strangers, shared our hearts, made memories and became a family.

I hope we talk more and get to know each other more.

Looking back I don't think there was a lot of that.

I didn't take very good care of them.

If I'd known sooner...

I would have taken better care of them.

He really ate a lot.

[Dong Wook and Se Ho - let's meet my roommate family!]

You're making a lot of mistakes!

[Sung Woo and friends - a romantic vacation for tough guys]

[Kang Jun and Min Woo - they walk on water and fly through the sky]

Roommate brings love.

Mr. Lee!

[We meet the teacher who remembers her as 'Im Jin Ah']

Today we decided to do things to bring us closer to our roommates.

We have arrived at Nambu Terminal!

There's a lot of people even though it's a weekday.

Let's go!

They're heading to Nana's hometown, Chungju.

They've decided to take the bus today.

Let's buy our tickets and buy some food.

[As expected, a thorough planner - Guide Hong!]

Here?

I've never done this before.

'Buy tickets.'

Wow, I guess this is how it works these days.

I used to have to wait in line for a person to give me tickets.

The world is such a better place these days.

We're 16!

- Right, so now we're... - Is this recording?

- Right, so now we're... - Is this recording?

Yeah, the red light's on.

Right now we're at gate 16.

We just need to board the bus, and then we'll be in Chungju!

We will!

How exciting!

- Hello. - Hello.

Go on up.

[Nana sits right next to her roommate Soo Hyun]

We're here.

We're off!

The two of us!

[it seems like today's visit home will be even more special!]

There's a really great hangover soup place in Chungju.

Sometimes I'd want to eat that so much

I'd wake up my parents in the middle of the night to go have it.

[How delicious must it be for her to eat it in the middle of the night?]

What else is Chungju famous for?

'Anthology of Great Buddhist Priests' Zen Teachings.'

[The world's first book printed with moveable table type]

Metal type.

It's in the Early Printing Museum in Cheongju.

Cheongju is a city of learning.

That's why we have the Anthology.

I want to see my homeroom teacher.

Why, what were they like?

I was a bad student...

But we were like friends.

What is their name?

Lee Kang Won.

He's so nice that he doesn't really get angry.

I've only seen him get angry once.

I was late for school all the time.

That doesn't surprise me.

- Sometimes he'd call me to wake me up. - Wow.

He's say, 'Jin Ah, wake up, it's time for school.'

That's so wonderful. Lee Kang Won?

'Roommate,' reuniting old friends - Nana edition.

Today we will search for Lee Kang Won. Please wait for us!

We're here!

Wow!

I hope he's still there.

When you were modeling did you want to sing or not?

I've loved singing and dancing ever since I was little.

It seemed like a faraway dream.

Cheongju is a small city.

I thought I could never go up to the stage and audition.

I didn't even try.

I thought I couldn't do it.

But while I was modeling, by chance...

When I think about it now, being here right now

is because my teacher gave me confidence and recognized something in me early on.

Because it's been so long since I've seen him, I feel nervous

and I wonder if he's doing well.

[The thoughts were too deep, and she's fallen asleep!]

[After an hour, they arrive at the Ochang tollgate]

Jin Ah! I think we're almost there, get up.

Yes, we've finally arrived in Cheongju!

This is 'Roommate Brings Love' - Im Jin Ah, how do you feel?

I feel so nervous.

Do you remember what bus we have to take?

My memory is a little shaky, but...

- Okay. - I will try to recall.

Mr. Lee Kang Won, please wait just a little longer. We will arrive soon.

I'm curious as well.

We'll get on a bus and begin looking for you.

Cheongju's daughter, Nana is coming!

Mr. Lee, please just wait a little longer. I miss you!

Let's go.

[Finally the bus that goes to the school arrives]

It's here.

Let's go.

There's a lot of people!

There are?

There are a ton of people.

They get on the city bus headed toward the school.

There are a lot of people.

There really are.

This is bringing back memories!

Did you know Nana used to live here?

I saw her graduation picture!

You're not supposed to do that.

Why would you look at old pictures.

What's important is the present.

It's been so long since I've been on a city bus!

I rode this every day back then.

The next stop will be the Ogeunjangdong Community Service Center.

I remember this too!

The order of the stops.

You said it would take five minutes.

No, ten minutes!

I remember it being ten minutes.

Why does it take so long? Is this not the right bus?

- What an impressive empty field. - It's a rice paddy.

[They are moving rapidly from city to countryside]

[They must pass mountains and rice paddies to get there!]

Nana is beginning her trip down memory lane.

The next stop is Ochang Middle School.

Nana, you really went to school far away!

- Let's go. - We're here!

Where would Mr. Lee Kang Won be?

- Let's head to the school. - The school is over there.

- The air is fresh here! - Isn't it?

- Isn't the air fresh? - Yeah, it is.

And there's nothing else here.

It's small but they decorated it very prettily.

- There are some statues too. - The trees are so pretty.

- Pretty. - It's a cute school.

It is!

[Memories of her school days spread out before her]

Here on 'Roommate Brings Love'

it is now about five minutes until we meet Mr. Lee Kang Won.

I'm so nervous!

I'm nervous too.

First, let's go to the administration office.

Is it this? Let's ask.

Will the teacher she hopes to meet still be at the school?

Hello!

Oh, you've come to film Roommate!

I'm sorry, but I a question.

Nana was a student here, you know, right?

Nana is unsure of what room she was in back then

could we look it up?

- Yes, just a minute. - Thank you!

Grade two, room seven?

Room five?

Room four?

My graduation picture!

Oh, I was right - room seven.

I look like a dumpling.

Nana, you were cute.

Here, here.

'Special skills or hobbies.'

Makeup.

Ah, Nana's parents wanted her to become a vetrinarian.

Although they wanted her to become a vet

she wanted to become a stylist or makeup artist.
