The Table (더 테이블)

Can I take your order?

May I order after my friend arrives?

Sure, take your time.

Hi.

Hi.

It's been so long.

You look the same.

No, I don't.

Both of us have changed.

Have we?

Did I pick a place where people will recognize you?

It's okay.

What if someone takes your photo?

What if a story goes up on those paparazzo websites?

Why? You wouldn't like that?

It's fine with me...

Meeting a famous person, I need a drink.

Give me a break.

I have to dye my hair now.

At least you're not balding.

You don't come to this neighborhood much?

Well, there are galleries here. Sometimes I come.

Though not usually like this.

I like this place.

Yeah.

It is okay next to the window? Should we sit further inside?

It's fine. Not many people outside.

Only this table has flowers.

Besides, people don't recognize me as much as you think.

People only chase after good looking male actors.

You've got so many fans!

See?

Hi, I'm such a big fan of yours.

Could I have your autograph?

It's an official autograph card. I'm well prepared, aren't I?

What's your name?

Jung Min-ok.

Can I have one too?

Could we also take a photo with you too?

Ah, I'm afraid not.

Who are you?

I'm her manager.

Yu-Jin has an important meeting here soon.

We can't allow photos. Please understand.

And please don't tell people that she's here.

Here you are...

- Goodbye. - Bye.

Bye.

There's no real need to go that far.

Did I overdo it?

No, you did well. Thanks.

You're considerate, as always. Only your hair's different.

Really?

You've changed.

I've heard stars' faces change a lot.

Me?

It's not that different.

I'd already had dental work when I met you.

That would change your face so much?

Because you maintain it.

They call it "camera massage".

You can do that with massage?

Anyway, actors don't age at all.

What do you mean?

Living your life worrying about the camera, that's the massage.

That's why I look this way.

I've only got a few years left. Need to make the most of it.

What? You'll last a long time. You're still in your prime.

Honestly, you're the best actress in Korea.

You're my friend for sure.

We were more than just friends.

Right...

You never married because you couldn't forget me.

Was that it?

No one believes me when I say you were my girlfriend.

Not that I go around telling people.

I told some people I'm close to, as a secret.

Well, it's not a lie.

Your smile is just the same.

Yeah. Thanks.

You look just like an actress.

Your face sparkles. And you're not wearing makeup!

You know nothing about women.

There's makeup that looks like no makeup.

That's why you're not married.

I may not be married, but that doesn't mean I don't have a girl.

That's a relief.

So are you dating someone nice?

I don't know. Not as nice as you.

She better not be.

You dated a lot too.

Me?

I heard you dated Woon-hyeok. Is it true.

What should I say...

Everybody knows it, so I can't deny it.

So it's true.

That's an old story.

You must have many stories.

Come on, we were just kids then.

We were.

I never imagined you could work in this field.

Someone as shy as you.

I changed a lot.

I know.

I don't mean my face.

I know that too.

What do you know? Can you see it?

Even besides the mainstream press, you hear things.

What sort of things?

You know...

No, I don't.

Like stock market rumor sites.

Rumor sites...

You read those?

I don't read them, but colleagues send messages around.

Don't believe those, they're all wrong.

There are some reliable ones. Sometimes they're right.

Sometimes, I guess.

You see?

Even so, you don't need to believe them all.

What's important is if they're right.

I don't want to believe it.

I'm glad they're wrong sometimes.

What don't you want to believe?

The world is filled with rumors. You must know them.

No, I don't.

Really?

I don't.

So tell me.

Can I?

Yeah, tell me.

That you were dating Lee Minuk, and you cheated on him.

Really?

No?

He's so violent.

So he punched you and broke your nose,

and you had surgery again to straighten it.

You really believe that?

They said he gave you a flying kick.

Hey, you think this nose was fixed?

Touch it. It's the same nose as when we dated.

If so, I'm relieved.

Don't just sit there, touch it.

Excuse me.

But actually I've never touched a nose that had surgery.

But yours seems real.

How could you forget my nose?

I never got hit by him. Though we did date.

He was good to me.

He acts manly, but he doesn't hit women.

And you're still dating?

No. But that wasn't why we broke up.

Nobody cheated.

I told you, the rumor sites are wrong.

But they were right that you dated.

Even though, you shouldn't believe everything you read.

Then you didn't abort the child of Samjeon Group's vice chairman?

I heard you got slapped by the chairman's wife.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked that.

I'm a real jerk.

Working in the office has made me this way.

Seeing you after so long, we should just share memories.

We can do that now.

But is a guy on lunch break allowed to drink beer?

It's the section chief's day off, so I rank highest.

Drinking during the day...

But seeing you so well-spoken, pretty and young-looking,

it's nice.

Yeah.

I hope you stay that way.

I watch all of your films.

How do you pick such great movies?

I always thought you were smart.

I got good grades, but was bad at living.

Even still.

Seeing you after so long,

it's a bit shocking that you're so insensitive.

I always hear that at work.

That's why no one believes that I went out with you.

Speaking of which...

Let's take a photo together.

What?

To prove...

...for memory's sake.

You don't mind?

Yeah, well... sure.

I'll stand next to you.

Thank you so much.

I didn't take this to brag about it, you know?

Sure.

For our memories.

So quiet, like in the past.

This cafe?

No, you.

I was always amazed when you opened your mouth.

Back then I didn't know how to talk about what I felt.

When I see your films, it's strange to see you talk quickly.

It's amazing to see a person change.

What I show in films is just an image.

Is it?
