1. 1

   A 저기요, 일곱 시쯤 시작하는 영화 중에 뭐가 괜찮아요? 두 편 중에서 계속 고민 중이거든요.

   Jeogiyo, ilgop sijjeum sijakaneun yeonghwa junge mwoga gwaenchanayo? Du pyeon jungeseo gyesok gomin jungigeodeunyo.

   Excuse me, which of the films starting around seven would you recommend? I keep going back and forth between two.

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 네, 어떤 영화요? 제목 말씀해 주시면 상영 시간도 바로 확인해 드릴게요.

   Ne, eotteon yeonghwayo? Jemok malsseumhae jusimyeon sangyeong sigando baro hwaginhae deurilgeyo.

   Sure, which ones? Tell me the titles and I'll check the showtimes for you right away.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A '불꽃 전쟁'이랑 '겨울 정원'이요. 근데 이 평점 좀 보세요. 평론가 평이랑 관객 평이 완전 반대네요.

   'Bulkkot jeonjaeng'irang 'gyeoul jeongwon'iyo. Geunde i pyeongjeom jom boseyo. Pyeongnonga pyeongirang gwangaek pyeongi wanjeon bandaeneyo.

   "Fire War" and "Winter Garden." But look at these ratings. The critics and the audiences are complete opposites.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 네, '불꽃 전쟁'은 관객 평점이 9점대인데 평론가들은 별 두 개 정도밖에 안 줬어요. '겨울 정원'은 딱 그 반대고요.

   Ne, 'bulkkot jeonjaeng'eun gwangaek pyeongjeomi 9jeomdaeinde pyeongnongadeureun byeol du gae jeongdobakke an jwosseoyo. 'Gyeoul jeongwon'eun ttak geu bandaegoyo.

   Yes, "Fire War" has an audience rating in the nines, but the critics only gave it about two stars. "Winter Garden" is exactly the opposite.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 평론가들이 좋아하는 영화는 왠지 지루할 것 같아서요. 솔직히 어느 쪽이 더 재밌어요?

   Pyeongnongadeuri joahaneun yeonghwaneun waenji jiruhal geot gataseoyo. Soljiki eoneu jjogi deo jaemisseoyo?

   Films the critics love always seem a bit boring to me. Honestly, which one's more fun?

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 제 개인적인 생각을 말씀드려도 될까요? 사실 제가 영화 전공이라서 좀 까다롭거든요.

   Je gaeinjeogin saenggageul malsseumdeuryeodo doelkkayo? Sasil jega yeonghwa jeongongiraseo jom kkadaropgeodeunyo.

   May I give you my personal opinion? I'm actually a film student, so I'm a bit picky.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 오, 그럼 전문가시네요. 편하게, 솔직하게 말씀해 주세요.

   O, geureom jeonmungasineyo. Pyeonhage, soljikage malsseumhae juseyo.

   Oh, so you're an expert. Please, be completely honest.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B '불꽃 전쟁'은 컴퓨터 그래픽은 화려한데 이야기가 식상해요. 삼십 분만 보면 결말이 뻔히 보여요.

   'Bulkkot jeonjaeng'eun keompyuteo geuraepigeun hwaryeohande iyagiga siksanghaeyo. Samsip bunman bomyeon gyeolmari ppeonhi boyeoyo.

   "Fire War" has flashy CGI, but the story is stale. Watch thirty minutes and the ending is obvious.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 평점이 9점대인 영화가 식상하다니요? 그럼 평점은 왜 이렇게 높아요?

   Pyeongjeomi 9jeomdaein yeonghwaga siksanghadaniyo? Geureom pyeongjeomeun wae ireoke nopayo?

   A film with a rating in the nines is stale? Then why is its rating so high?

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 대중적인 재미는 확실하니까요. 흥행하는 영화는 대부분 큰 화면으로 보는 맛이 있어요. 그건 저도 인정해요.

    Daejungjeogin jaemineun hwaksilhanikkayo. Heunghaenghaneun yeonghwaneun daebubun keun hwamyeoneuro boneun masi isseoyo. Geugeon jeodo injeonghaeyo.

    Because it's definitely fun in a crowd-pleasing way. Most hits are a treat on a big screen. I'll give it that.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 그럼 '겨울 정원'은요? 관객이 이렇게 적은 걸 보면 뭔가 이유가 있을 것 같은데요.

    Geureom 'gyeoul jeongwon'eunyo? Gwangaegi ireoke jeogeun geol bomyeon mwonga iyuga isseul geot gateundeyo.

    What about "Winter Garden"? If so few people are seeing it, there must be a reason.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 상영관이 적어서 그래요. 독립 영화라서 홍보도 거의 못 했고요. 대신 연출이 참신하고, 마지막 장면은 올해 본 영화 중에 최고였어요.

    Sangyeonggwani jeogeoseo geuraeyo. Dongnip yeonghwaraseo hongbodo geoui mot haetgoyo. Daesin yeonchuri chamsinhago, majimak jangmyeoneun olhae bon yeonghwa junge choegoyeosseoyo.

    That's because it's on so few screens. It's an indie film, so it barely got any publicity. But the directing is fresh, and the last scene was the best thing I've seen all year.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 영화관 직원분이 관객 적은 영화를 추천하시네요. 보통은 잘나가는 영화를 권하지 않아요?

    Yeonghwagwan jigwonbuni gwangaek jeogeun yeonghwareul chucheonhasineyo. Botongeun jallaganeun yeonghwareul gwonhaji anayo?

    A cinema employee recommending the film nobody's watching? Don't you usually push the big hits?

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 하하, 점장님이 들으시면 혼나겠네요. 그래도 마음에도 없는 영화를 추천해 드리고 싶지는 않아서요.

    Haha, jeomjangnimi deureusimyeon honnagenneyo. Geuraedo maeumedo eomneun yeonghwareul chucheonhae deurigo sipjineun anaseoyo.

    Ha, I'd be in trouble if my manager heard that. But I don't want to recommend a film I don't believe in.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 좋아요, 믿어 볼게요. '겨울 정원' 일곱 시 십 분 걸로 한 장 주세요.

    Joayo, mideo bolgeyo. 'Gyeoul jeongwon' ilgop si sip bun geollo han jang juseyo.

    All right, I'll trust you. One ticket for "Winter Garden" at seven ten, please.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 네, 가운데 자리로 드릴게요. 보시고 별로면 다음에 오셔서 저한테 따지셔도 돼요.

    Ne, gaunde jariro deurilgeyo. Bosigo byeollomyeon daeume osyeoseo jeohante ttajisyeodo dwaeyo.

    Sure, I'll give you a seat in the middle. If you don't like it, come back and give me a piece of your mind.
