Listen here.
Have you ever found yourself
struggling with loneliness?
Don't you pity me? I've been a widow for 30 years.
I've been praying every day,
but no man has come along to appease my loneliness.
Why aren't you answering?
How could you do this to me?
Are you ignoring me?
Say something.
God.
No.
It looks so bizarre.
What is this for?
What the...
What's going on?
What is happening?
Who are you?
So you're saying, when she said that,
this stick turned into an army of men and they did her?
-What is this... -Sir.
My stomach...
That prick.
What is this for?
-My goodness. -What happened?
I told you not to say it.
Take a look at this.
It looks so sturdy.
What is this for?
No!
The totem pole’s wooden nose managed to survive even fire
and boiling water.
It was obvious that the nose had extraordinary power.
In the end, the governor ordered me to find a way to dispose of it.
So, I put it in 100-year-old wine
and buried it under the totem pole.
Come on.
How long has it been?
I can't believe this.
The rumor was true.
The incident was said to have increased the Yin in this area.
I guess it's true.
How lonely.
The imbalance of Yin and Yang.
The disharmony in nature.
Feminine presence is too strong here.
Wipe it hard!
Who are they?
They're thugs from the neighboring village. They come here and throw a fit.
No man from our village is brave enough to challenge them.
Pitiful sissies!
We're out of drinks here!
I'm guessing that pig has no manners.
Do you have money?
We'll pay when we leave.
Get us more drinks!
Forget it!
-Those ignorant jerks. -What the fuck?
What is that guy over there drinking then?
What's with that look on your face?
Do you have a problem?
Look at your hair.
What did you put on it?
Is it perfume?
Please ignore them.
I don't want any trouble here. Please.
What is she saying?
What should we do with him?
You son of a...
The wine has become red.
You little...
You bastard...
My goodness.
Are you okay?
Son of a bitch...
Shit.
God.
My goodness.
Who is that guy?
Stop drooling.
Look at his nose.
A big nose means he has a big cock, right?
Hey.
He's not the man you think he is.
-What? -What?
He's the weakest of the weak.
Don't judge a book by its cover.
What do you mean?
Do I really have to tell this story again?
It was a night of the crescent.
-He was selling rice cakes. -Rice cakes.
Rice cakes.
"Rice cakes."
Rice cakes.
Here.
It's one nyang for two.
But I'll give you one for free.
Is this your first time?
It must be.
-Your voice... -What about it?
Do I sound old?
Old people get horny too.
Maybe I'm just doomed for life.
Of all the men in this world, you came along.
Some luck!
Why? What's wrong with me?
You don't know?
A straw is thicker than your thing.
A straw?
You're like a eunuch.
A eunuch?
Is that true?
You girls haven't been here long enough to know the truth.
If only his lower half worked as well as his mouth.
Who doesn't know that?
He's just a shell of a man.
He's not a real man.
Hey.
Don't look at me like that.
I'm still your first girl.
Don't you remember?
Get out of my way.
Kang-mok...
He's so manly.
That's a real man.
He's so different from his little brother.
My goodness.
Look at his thing.
No woman could say no to that.
My goodness.
It's so big.
You're Kang-soe, aren't you?
No, I'm not.
I can tell by the pissing sound.
I'm not him.
Give us more drinks.
There's nothing.
What's wrong?
What the fuck?
Kang-mok.
He's drunk.
Please forgive him.
-I'm sorry. -What happened?
Kang-soe, let's go.
What?
Forget it.
I want to get drunk.
Those bastards...
I want to get wasted!
A real man with a wuss as a brother.
He must be so worried
about his only brother.
Kang-mok would do anything for his little brother.
He pities
his impotent brother.
I bet he puts his brother's life before his own.
Are you feeling better?
Put me down. I can walk.
Stop moving around. You're making it harder for me.
Just put me down.
I got some dried squid for you.
I don't like dries squid. Put me down.
Sit down.
Sit down please.
Let me see.
I got some turtle powder
and bear bile for you.
It cost me an arm and a leg. Drink up.
They say nothing is better than this to help fix your problem.
I don't need it.
Hey.
Kang-soe.
Rice cakes.
Buy some rice cakes.
Rice cakes.
He's still a kid.
Kang-soe, you're on fire!
Kang-mok!
Water.
Water!
Lie down! Quick!
-Move. -No!
Move!
Move! Get out of my way.
No! Kang-mok, no...
Kang-soe.
Is he okay?
It's burned.
Dal-gaeng is way better.
Who is that?
You don't know?
She moved into a hut a few days ago.
That girl?
I heard she was a bit crazy in the head.
That's who you're talking about?
Yes. Huddle up, guys.
Rumor has it that when she was little,
she was captured by the Japanese soldiers and she was used
as a sex slave.
But in the end, she managed to escape.
-You know what? -What?
Her eyes are so sparkly
and her lips are so red.
I bet she's real horny.
I can't believe you.
You talk like you have done her.
Not yet, but I'm planning to.
Do you guys want to come along?
Where?
You said she bathes here every night.
We made a trip for nothing.
We can try another night.
I'm sorry.
Wait, isn't that Kang-soe?
What are you doing here?
You're cheeky. Hold up. So, you want a piece of her too?
Of course.
No, I'm just bathing.
Of course.
-Sure. -Wait.
Aren't those breasts?
My goodness.
My shoe!
-Her shoe? -Her shoe?
-Her shoe! -Her shoe!
Help!
It's so pretty.
I can't see anything.
Be quiet.
Look at that.
Be quiet.
My goodness. She's so hot.
What's that?
-Wait. What's that? -What?
My goodness.
-My goodness. -I can't believe this.
This is what they're up to.
Fine.
So that's Dal-gaeng, the whore?
Hey, stop there.
How many guys have you hit on so far?
Is this why you moved here?
You're dead meat.
-You whore. -Bitch!
-What are you doing? -You bitch.
Get her out of the water.
Come on, bitch.
Come on.
Come here, bitch.
Ladies!
What is this nonsense?
Kang-mok.
Come here, assholes!
-Let's go. -Hurry.
I won't let you off that easy.
If I see you again, you’re dead.
Kang-mok, you shouldn't have interfered.
You're dead meat.
-Stop there! -Stop right there!
-Stop! -Stop there!
Are you okay?
Yes.
You don't understand?
Do you want me to say it again?
I want the wedding to be held
within the next five days.
Wedding?
Do you have a girl stashed away somewhere?
Come on out.
She will be our family.
Take good care of her and be nice to her.
She's been through a lot.
Get her something to drink.
Kang-soe.
Kang-soe. Hey.
-Help! -Help!
Please help!
Is anyone there?
Help!
What?
Thank you.
When will the old tree bloom?
You're strong.
But your thing is too weak.
Nice.
Do you drink?
Not anymore.
There is this drink that would help an impotent man.
Too bad.
Impotent? What are you talking about?
Your brother has a birthmark...
by his belly button, right?
You have one on your thigh, don't you?
It's the dried squid.
That was the root of the problem.
I can tell.
Do you know...
why the totem pole in front of the shrine
is missing a nose?
You saved my life.
I should repay you.
Listen carefully.
Go to the village shrine.
Face the totem pole.
Take two steps back.
Two steps to the left,
two steps forward and two steps to the right.
You'll be right where you started.
Dig into the ground,
and you'll find a bottle.
Drink the potion inside.
Then you'll bloom.
The old tree will bloom,
and it will fix your impotency.
After you wake up,
stay away from women...
for 15 days.
For exactly 15 days, from the moment you wake up,
you are not allowed to do anything with women.
If you have intercourse during that time,
you'll lose everything.
I can be a real man?
You got it.
But remember one thing.
Only take one sip.
One sip?
Don't go overboard.
Your fortune can turn into...
the village's misery.
Don't drink more than a sip.
Don't be greedy.
If you do, the village will suffer...
a great deal.
Understood?
He's gone.
What?
Hey! Hey, kid!
Did you understand the whole thing?
I have a bad feeling about this.
I have a very bad feeling.
This is not good.
It's out of my hands now.
I can't believe him.
It's just ridiculous.
What's going on?
What is happening?
Let's run!
Stop there, you bastard.
Bastard.
You've been hiding here to evade the draft?
Stop it. I know this guy.
You know him?
Kang-soe, where have you been?
I thought you had left the village.
What do you mean?
Don't you know about the war?
Every man has been drafted
including us.
Even your brother.
He finished his duty two years ago.
Don't you understand?
It's because of you.
The officials wanted you,
but your brother insisted on
going to war on behalf of you.
They only take one man from each household.
Let's go.
You're lucky to have a brother like him. I'm so jealous.
Wait up!
What a brother you have.
Here.
Would you like some...
Then you'll bloom.
The old tree will bloom.
It will fix your impotency.
What is this smell?
A fire?
It's a wildfire.
I have to pee.
It's a fire.
-Fire! -Help!
Help!
I have to pee.
You're Kang-soe, aren't you?
I'm not.
He put out the fire?
I can't believe it.
Kang-soe is impotent.
Are you sure?
It can't be him.
It was him. I heard his thing was three inches long.
You haven't seen it though.
I heard it was five inches long.
-Five inches? -What?
It's only half the size of this.
He couldn't have put out the fire with it.
There goes the madam.
-Hey there! -We should ask her.
What is it?
-Hey. -Come here.
Come on here.
My goodness.
What do you say? You saw it, right?
Is it four or five inches?
-Kang-soe's thing? -Yes.
Didn't you say it was five inches?
Yes, it's five inches.
But...
that was just the head.
No way.
Impossible.
Why is he doing that in the middle of the night?
Just wait. He'll take a shower afterwards.
We can see his thing then.
Wait.
They're on the ground.
What?
Both of his feet are on the ground.
-His feet? -His feet?
How is that possible?
If it's not his feet, then...
Two.
My goodness.
Unbelievable.
I need a drink.
-Yes! -Come on.
Rice cakes.
-He's coming. -Rice cakes.
Rice cakes.
-He's here. -Hurry.
Is he coming?
Rice cakes.
Hi, Kang-soe.
Stop it.
He's gone. It's over.
Kang-soe, one rice cake, please.
Okay.
Where should I put it?
Here.
A little to the right.
To the left.
-Here? -Closer.
Here.
Hey.
Yes?
What the hell?
Hey!
Kang-soe!
I got him. Girls!
She got him.
Get him.
Good things are meant to be shared.
-Hold him. -Easy.
What is he doing?
Is he still living in the past?
I don't know why he is wasting his thing.
Why won't he let the snake out of his pants?
Girls.
Knock it off.
How can you sing in this situation?
I don't understand why Kang-soe would turn us down.
It must be lack of confidence.
You! Sit up.
Why did you bring a baby?
It's distracting.
We were seducing him in the broad daylight.
What?
We need to get him in the mood.
What mood?
An erotic mood.
Erotic but tasteful.
I'll pave the way for all of you tonight.
You ladies owe me a favor.
You broke into my place?
You even lit my candles.
I have some rare wine here.
I want you to taste it for free.
Why did you stop coming to my bar?
Are you low on money?
I quit drinking.
For a real man like you, life is not fun without liquor.
I know you like to drink.
Did you get a girl?
That's right. Drink up.
It will make you stronger.
What?
Are you playing dumb with me?
I've seen it.
Seen what?
The field is so hot, but...
But?
There's no man to cool it down.
So what?
Can you water it for me?
Listen to me.
You can't handle me.
So you know how to bluff now?
I've been with more men
than you could ever imagine.
You don't get it.
I'm a hawk, and you're just a sparrow.
Don't worry about me.
I can go on for days.
What are you doing?
I'm sure you know.
-Move. -Where are you going?
Come on, move!
I must be out of my mind.
Stop it!
Mom, what does this mean?
Why aren't you in bed yet?
You can study tomorrow.
Go to bed, okay?
-What the... -Don't you ever sleep?
What's up with them?
Come on.
Stop pushing.
What's going on?
-What's happening? -What the...
Wait.
Move!
My goodness.
-Line up! -She's here too.
You weren't bluffing
after all.
That's right.
-Hey. -What?
Are you sick?
Your nose is bleeding.
You're bleeding.
God, this is embarrassing.
You won't believe it.
I'll need at least ten days of rest to recover.
Ten days?
Was it that good?
Or is it because you haven't had any for a while?
You're always so negative.
Well...
this is what happened.
My goodness.
Where am I?
Hey, Kang-soe.
Kang-soe.
I'm happy now.
Yes.
Three times is enough.
It's enough. Or was it more? What?
Don't give me that look!
Kang-soe.
Kang-soe, it's enough.
Hey!
Stop now.
It's okay now. I've had enough.
My goodness.
Fine, let's get it over with.
Come here.
Can you believe that?
I thought it was over, but he kept on going.
It never ended.
He was breaking me into pieces.
Completely.
God.
My hips...
I don't believe it.
What are you waiting for?
Go on and line up.
Move.
Stop pushing me.
Go away.
My nose won't stop bleeding.
Move.
No cuts!
Get off me.
My goodness.
I can't believe this.
Respect the elderly.
What?
Look.
Line up, girls!
What?
What are you doing?
Help!
She's coming out.
Is she okay?
The rumor was wrong.
What do you mean?
It's only half of the truth.
Believe me.
What is it this time?
What?
What's wrong with you?
What the hell did you see?
A body.
A wildfire.
A wildfire?
A waterfall.
A waterfall?
This big.
That big?
-Pants. -What?
A weapon.
I saw this body,
and then...
there was a fire.
-What? -There was a big fire.
I was sitting in the carriage.
I was scared.
Then this waterfall...
This big...
That big?
That's what happened.
What?
Was it really this big?
Yes.
All right.
I must summon him right away.
Kang-soe, give me a rice cake.
I'm not selling any today.
You know what I mean.
I'm your big fan now.
Sorry?
It's the biggest penis I have ever seen.
Consider your tab settled.
Look, Kang-soe.
I love you.
Pardon?
I said, I love you.
That's not love.
Then what is?
Can you teach me?
Kang-soe, where are you going?
See you tonight.
Come back!
Go on.
Let go of me.
Let go!
What are we going to do now?
I'm the minister
of foreign affairs.
Westerners in this country
are all giving us a headache these days.
I have a big plan.
We're going to have the match
of the century.
If you win,
I'll send your brother home
as requested.
So, do your best.
Korean representative, step forward!
Western representative, step forward!
Hey!
The challenge is
to put as much weight as you can hold with your penis.
Please remove your underwear!
Start.
One.
Two.
-My goodness. -Wow.
Three.
Total amount, three!
Please remove your underwear!
Start.
One.
My goodness.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Nine.
Ten.
Eleven.
Play the music!
How nice.
Don't worry.
You'll hear from him soon.
We're too late.
Poor Kang-soe.
-I feel so sorry for him. -It's too bad.
How sad.
Where is Kang-soe? I heard he was back.
What's wrong?
Did someone die?
Yes, someone died.
Kang-mok is dead.
Are you serious?
They couldn't even find his body.
It's too bad.
That's why he has locked himself in.
He hasn't eaten for eight days now.
God!
Let's get out of here.
We're making things worse.
But why has it been so dry these days?
She has resentment built up in her heart.
The fever comes from it.
She doesn't need socks even in the winter.
She needs water to cool her body down.
She likes bathing in the pond.
But she can't do that anymore
because of the drought.
Her fever gets worse at night.
So now she sleepwalks to find water at night.
She will end up either killing herself
or...
dance around like a lunatic
and finally die from this fever.
It's really bad.
Is there a cure?
No.
There is one cure.
But...
it doesn't require money.
It takes a body.
One with strong energy.
A body?
The art of medicine is the way humanity works.
As a doctor...
You have to sleep with her
in order to cure her.
It's not easy for me to say that.
It's not easy.
It's just my opinion as a doctor.
What?
Sleep with her
and she'll be cured.
I'm not supposed to say that.
I couldn't.
But if you don't, she won't be around much longer.
It's okay.
It's possible to use medicine.
It may take
around 10 to 20 years.
Bodily sickness should be treated
with another body.
That's right.
Your brother is dead, right?
Have some.
You're my husband now.
-It looks good. -No.
It looks better on you.
Let's wrap it up.
All the leaves are withered because of drought.
We can't even wash our faces because there is no water.
By the way, how is Kang-soe doing?
He's like a dead man without his brother.
Are you worried about him?
Or are you just horny?
I'm not that inconsiderate.
Don't you feel sorry for him?
No way.
He's having fun with his sister-in-law.
That's enough.
Honestly, I miss him terribly.
If I hadn't slept with him, it wouldn't be this bad.
What is it? Are you pregnant?
My goodness.
You're in big trouble.
What the...
No, I'm not.
What's that?
Good heavens.
What's wrong?
Aren't you satisfied?
Let's do it again.
Stop it.
Don't overdo it. I'm saying this for your own sake.
What are you talking about?
I can do it all night. Come here.
Come here.
I missed you so much
when I was in the battlefield.
Come on.
Hey.
Honey.
How odd.
If the drought continues,
the village will be destroyed.
Grudge of a spinster...
has caused the drought.
It's an ominous sound of a female.
The sound of loneliness.
What should we do about it?
Is that from Lady Bear?
Yin needs Yang.
We must send her a man full of energy
to relieve her loneliness.
You mean...
a bear and a man...
Stop it.
That bear is a god.
She protects this village.
It's our holy sacrifice to her.
But that's unthinkable in Confucianism.
Nonsense!
You want the village dry up into destruction?
But think about it.
Who is going to volunteer for such a blasphemous thing?
Who would want to do a bear?
There's a way.
Sir.
Do you remember that wooden nose?
We have to find it tonight.
There's nothing.
It's not here, sir.
It's not here.
I found it!
He found it.
Let me see. Give it to me.
How could it be?
Who dared to drink this up?
Wait.
You've been at it since the day before.
Who is it? Who did you fool around with?
While we were gone, Kang-soe was the only man here.
She wouldn't have cheated on you,
if you had satisfied her in bed.
Am I right?
Of course.
-What's wrong? -What's going on?
No, it's not what you think.
It's not.
What?
It's a nightmare.
I told him to have just one sip.
He got greedy.
A disaster has befallen this village.
It's a disaster.
Take Kang-soe in.
He is not impotent anymore.
He drank up the forbidden potion.
He's committed such a vicious crime. We'll offer him to Lady Bear
with a ceremony.
Kang-soe!
You're in trouble. Come here.
They're going to offer you to Lady Bear.
Then...
Dal-gaeng!
What's worse is that your brother...
God.
Kang-soe!
Your brother is back.
Kang-soe!
Kang-soe.
I'm back, Kang-soe.
I got dried squid for him.
Kang-soe.
It's good news.
What is?
She's pregnant.
She has a bun in the oven.
Our baby...
is in my belly.
It's also bad news.
The drought might kill both of them.
If it doesn't rain soon,
the fever will kill her and the baby.
It will definitely affect them both.
Hey, where are you going?
Running away?
They must be out of their minds.
I can't believe they're sacrificing you.
Run away.
Otherwise, they'll offer you to a bear to stop the drought.
Hurry.
Run away right now.
-It's Kang-soe! -We found him.
-Get him!
-Don't move! -Get him!
Get off me!
I had no one else to turn to.
Water...
There is not a single drop of water to drink.
Mom.
I'm not your mom.
What a life. You poor thing.
Get something to drink.
Why do we have to look after this lunatic?
Don't be ridiculous.
Shame on you.
All you care about is sex.
Do you know the meaning of loneliness?
Too much loneliness makes a person crazy.
Get something for her.
Coming.
Aren't you glad that I'm back
in one piece?
Sure, we are. We are so glad.
What's wrong with her?
Well...
Where is Kang-soe now? His wife is very sick.
Dal-gaeng, how was the wedding?
What?
Is she Kang-soe's wife?
Do you mean...
Are they not married yet?
Before I got drafted,
I told her to marry him.
I called him my husband,
but he didn't believe me.
He's your husband, and he didn't believe you?
What is she talking about?
Dal-gaeng was supposed to marry Kang-soe?
You have to have a ceremony to make it official.
But I have a baby.
Really?
Where is he anyway?
Don't let anybody go over that line.
Especially all those promiscuous women.
Keep them out of here.
He's not fighting it.
I didn't tell him about the bear.
What?
It's over.
Kang-soe is surely dead.
God.
Sir.
-Kang-soe! -Sir!
Kang-soe!
Get ready to leave the village.
Think of Dal-gaeng and the baby.
You have to take care of them now.
Look.
That's Dal-gaeng.
She shouldn't go in there.
Is she crazy?
What are you doing?
Get her out of here.
Okay.
Come on.
Stay still.
Shame on you. Stop it!
A person is dying.
What's so important about the line?
Men or women. What's the difference?
I have a baby.
Poor thing.
What are you doing?
Don't give up now.
We can't go down like this.
Let's pray to God once and for all.
Are you going nuts?
What are you doing with that drum?
Is that all you've got?
If you're going to do it, do it right!
She's at it again.
People saved themselves.
My husband is alive.
He's alive.
Where did they all go?
Geum-dong!
Eun-dong!
-Geum-dong! -Young-nam!
-Eun-dong! -Gui-nam!
Dad.
Dad!
What girl wouldn't know about Kang-soe?
I heard that his thing is very thick.
It's as thick as a man's body.
It's quite embarrassing, but...
What is it?
I heard he did it with a bear!
