Oh My Venus (오 마이 비너스)

DAEGU, 1999

Am I prettier than Ju-eun?

-Are you crazy? -Are you crazy?

"Hello, I'm Lee Sung-hak.

I'm 18 years old and I live in Daegu.

I am writing about a girl I have a crush on.

Her name is Kang Ju-eun."

-Ju-eun? -Ju-eun?

She must be a very beautiful girl.

-Are they talking about Ju-eun again? -I'm curious.

This song is dedicated to Kang Ju-eun,

who is also known as the Venus of Daegu.

The Venus of Daegu is here.

You're 48,6kg?

You're 170cm tall but your bust is 36 inches?

That's crazy, Ju-eun.

-Are you even human? -What do you eat?

-She doesn't eat, that's why. -Shut your mouth.

-She's a different breed entirely. -You're right.

-Keep it down! -She's really...

Life is so unfair. What's the point of studying?

-I know. -Be quiet.

Hey, Ju-eun.

Someone is asking for you at the main entrance.

That's so annoying.

I LOVE YOU FROM HYEONG-SUK

Why didn't you use a pencil?

Listen carefully.

Goodness.

-Ju-eun. -What's this?

Erase that.

Hey, you guys smoking over there.

What?

Quit smoking. You won't grow.

Even...

Even if you're already tall, just quit. You could still be growing.

-Who is this? -She's a famous girl.

She's the Venus of Daegu.

Hey.

Pick that up.

Hey.

Just because everyone in Daegu thinks you're pretty, do you think

-you can talk to me like that? -Why can't I?

I told you to pick this up.

"Kang Ju-eun."

Yes, I'm Kang Ju-eun. What do you want?

Don't you dare smoke here again.

You guys should be scared.

You little...

Stop getting worked up.

Your ice cream is melting.

Let's go.

What's wrong with him?

Was he not smoking?

You're perfect!

You were born to be Miss Korea.

No, I wasn't.

My mom tells me to study.

No. You shouldn't.

You don't look like you'll need to study in the future.

I'm very busy.

Hold on, Ju-eun.

Don't you want to improve your life?

I have no complaints about my life.

And...

I look good with straight hair.

Bye.

You don't want to be the next Miss Korea?

Then what will you be?

BECOME AN ATTORNEY. I CAN DO IT!

You're sniffling. You might catch a cold.

Thank you.

Your finals are coming up, right?

You can just study off of these.

-But... -Yes?

You keep studying the basics because of me.

No. Ju-eun. That's not true.

Studying is all about knowing the basics.

You're studying so hard to get into law school.

This is all we can do for you.

Ju-eun.

I found a kid who studied in the States to help you with English.

I wish I could be the one to help you.

Be quiet.

Your future goal is to become a lawyer.

You went to Juwan Girls' Elementary School and Juwan Girls' Middle School.

Now you're a junior at Juwan Girls' High School.

Your name is Kang Ju-eun.

Yes, I'm Kang Ju-eun. What do you want?

You know me, right?

Should I?

Are you someone famous?

Are you in the textbooks or something?

I'm only halfway through the Joseon era in my textbook.

Which part are you in?

I'm in the newspapers.

I go to a sports school nearby.

I'm the youngest athlete on the National Swim Team.

I was a junior representative at an international meet.

I just finished the competition.

I'm so sorry.

I should've gotten you a bouquet.

-I'm from Seoul. -Don't lie.

That competition was held in France.

That's not what I meant.

I thought you wanted to learn the Seoul dialect?

I was scouted in Seoul.

Did you

read CeCe ?

Only losers read that magazine.

Your dimples are cute.

Some might think you're trying to seduce me

by telling me that you'll teach me the Seoul dialect.

I don't know for sure,

but I probably won't be able to say this again.

For a man, his first love

can only come once.

Kang Ju-eun.

Starting today, you'll be my first love.

The Seoul dialect is really hard.

It's probably just as hard as becoming an attorney.

No.

I can do anything if I put my mind to it.

I'm Kang Ju-eun.

Then put your mind on me too.

SEOUL, 2014

That's right.

I could do anything if I put my mind to it.

I am Kang Ju-eun.

Hello.

-Get us some tea. -Okay.

Please, have a seat.

I thought if I became an attorney, I'd be able to help

keep world peace and guarantee my own safety.

I was wrong.

Life is one disaster after another.

The problems never end.

CHEONMA PEAK

It's true that dreams come true.

It is true,

but when they do come true...

your clothes will stop fitting.

He was a swimmer, right?

Who's the woman next to him?

Yes, he was a swimmer.

His name is Im U-sik.

He's my first love and boyfriend of 15 years.

And the woman next to him

is me.

She fell into her own track.

Do you mean, "her own trap"?

She did it to herself. Why is she blaming me?

What in life lasts forever?

Love, women and everything else fades with time.

All men are the same.

They like pretty girls. They like it even more if they're young.

Don't you agree?

It's true that the probability is high.

Do I look like an amateur?

Who leaves evidence of cheating nowadays?

She's just mad because her husband wants a divorce.

It does seem like she's putting pressure on you.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

Is the law against adultery going to be repealed?

It's not that I'm worried or anything.

I'm not a congresswoman, so...

She lost her husband to a hottie and didn't get alimony.

That's why she should've hired an expensive lawyer.

Excuse me.

Are you saying that you're...

Yes, that hottie is me.

The ex-wife pressed charges, so I'm doing the same.

For defamation, false claims, violation of human rights, and invasion of privacy.

Include anything that may work.

I will never, ever settle.

I'll call you after I review the documents.

But...

consider that the other party was also harmed...

You misjudged me.

I'm not someone who reconsiders.

Please win at any cost.

If you eat a lot of sweets, it will stress you out.

You don't seem to know that.

It relieves stress.

That's nonsense. You get stressed when you gain weight!

Your plants are all dead.

They aren't...

dead yet.

You should water them.

I almost smacked her.

What happened to justice and virtue?

Why is there none of that?

Ms. Kang.

The man who cheated with that lady

is our president's best friend.

Hyeon-jeong.

Must an attorney do things like this?

It's because you're an attorney that you need to do it.

Don't you know the president's motto?

I know.
