T/N: RM is watching a scene from 'Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy', a Japanese anthology movie by Ryusuke Hamaguchi.
This is the culminative scene of the 3rd story of the anthology. It tells the story of two women who realize they've mistaken each other for former classmates. Nonetheless, they spend time together reminiscing and helping each other vent some of their unresolved feelings by role playing as each other's classmates.
After they eventually part, one of the women unexpectedly runs back to the other before she gets on her train to tell her that she has finally remembered her old classmate's first name.
With this scene both of them have finally been able to explore and move on from their past, finding a piece of closure through their chance encounter.
Video Translation:
Woman 1: Wait.
Woman 2: Is everything okay?
W1: It's nothing big.
W2: What is it?
W1: But you're the only one I can tell, so…
W2: Tell me anything.
W1: I remembered.
W2: What?
W1: Her name.
W1: Nozomi.
W2: Nozomi?
W1: Nozomi! // W2: Nozomi!
W2: And her last name?
W1: That I can't remember yet.

The following words can be seen to the left of the painting.
In Korean, they are as follows:
A furious waterfall suddenly resounds outside the sky,
and clouds form shadows beside the sun.
Climbing, on a winter day, the hill south of Soho-ro and painting on currently-ill Wiam's fan.

A big part of why Ryusuke Hamaguchi movies own so hard is their uncompromising mix of sparse presentation, slow pacing, and "but the prom's tomorrow!" clear-cut obvious-stakes ass plotting. Drive My Car moment when emotional shit is finally starting to go down and the characters are like "are we gonna be able to put on the play while all this happens" and I'm like no for real are they gonna be able to put on the play while all this happens. The prom is tomorrow.

You said everyone admired me, but that's wrong. I always felt different, like everyone observed me from afar. I always felt like an outcast.
You were the only one that stepped in. It was just one step, but it meant a lot to me. You were the only light for me. I could find you anywhere you were.
Your existence gave me power.
Fusako Urabe from “Once Again” (Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy- Ryūsuke Hamaguchi)
