THE DRESS CODE FOR TODAY'S MISSION: CAPTURE CHILDREN'S HEARTS

It's lovely to meet you. Thank you very much.

I hope we can spend an enjoyable and exciting time together.

In Pororo the Little Penguin, Pororo loves to play.

I love to pop into your lives.

Poof! Pororong at your service.

Yes, I love it

I love to play

Hey, I may as well play every day

All right. Let's welcome the next contestant.

Next contestant, please come in!

MONSTER BALL

It's nice to meet you.

Can you introduce yourself?

I'm going to catch you, pokémon!

I'm Ash, the pokémon master.

I'm the world's hottest pokémon master…

Well, at least that's my goal.

Next contestant, please come in.

I'm not selling my house!

I simply can't do that.

Get in here, Koffing!

Memories of my beloved wife are in every corner of this house!

Let's greet him. Could you tell us who you are?

Hello.

I'm the gramps from Up.

It's a pleasure.

-It's nice to meet you. -Welcome.

I heard that your team needed a space for the shoot.

So I prepared this place.

-I'm-- -Who are you here for?

-I used to be a beast. -I see.

Oh, as in the "beast idol."

No, that's not it.

Did you really mean beast?

-I used to be under a spell. -Oh, that beast!

The enchantment was lifted a few days ago--

Hello.

-Hi. -What on earth…

-Good morning. -Hey, Candelabra.

-I'll shine a light on your hearts. -Candelabra…

Life is hectic these days, isn't it?

-Unbelievable. -But the spell was lifted!

What a way to show she's lost her flame.

-A bright light for your dark days. -But the spell was lifted!

-I'm at your service. -Isn't she your aide?

-The enchantment was lifted. -Excuse me?

-Hold on. -You two are on the same side, right?

"CANDELABRA…" "MY PRINCE…"

NOW THAT THEY'RE REUNITED…

I don't remember my candelabra being so tall.

Lumière used to be this tall.

I wish to be a spark of bright light whenever darkness casts over your hearts.

I can't believe her. A candelabra?

Oh, dang.

Can I share a little tale about Jin-kyung in our intro?

I meant what happened yesterday.

Oh, please do.

-If you do, I'm going home. -Spill it.

-It's just-- -I've only begun breathing freely.

It's…

I've barely gotten out of the rough patch.

A friend of mine gave me a call.

He said he had some questions

in the field Jin-kyung knows well.

He asked if she wouldn't mind his reaching out to her.

So I promised to check it with her

and give her his contact info and vice versa.

Then, I went to our group chat to ask Jin-kyung how she'd feel about it.

I wrote, "One of our recent guests, Young K, has a few questions for you."

"Could I give him your number?"

I told him yes without hesitation.

I gave him the go-ahead.

-"Okay." -And she did.

-I was ready to help. -She added the smiley emoji.

What have I done wrong so far?

None. So that's that.

-End of discussion. -After that…

-We're done. -Here's the thing.

-You were open to helping… -Wait…

…but you didn't know Young K.

That was a sick burn.

Well done.

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE INCIDENT

YOUNG K WANTS TO ASK YOU SOMETHING CAN I GIVE HIM YOUR NUMBER?

JIN-KYUNG: SURE WOO-JAE: OKAY!

JIN-KYUNG: BY THE WAY

She wrote, "What does Young K do?"

JIN-KYUNG: WHAT DOES YOUNG K DO? HEH

"Is he a celebrity?"

She even added an extra question mark.

So I wrote,

"Jin-kyung, we're off-camera."

She then wrote, "Yeah, I get it."

Yes, she finally caught on then.

-But we should make allowances for her. -You bet we do.

-As an old friend of Jin-kyung… -Tell them.

…I must stress that she's worked hard over the years at social events.

All the alcohol she had consumed damaged her hippocampus.

-How admirable, right? -Hey!

Actually, that applies to me. My hippocampus is shot too.

I see our group chat in a new light.

Turns out it's a frightening place.

Just when Jin-kyung asked about Young K's profession,

-messages kept piling up. -I almost thought

I committed high traison.

Everyone got excited at her mistake.

-Unbelievable. -I assumed

everyone was working because no one replied.

But the moment Jin-kyung asked if Young K was a celebrity,

everyone wrote, "LOL."

-How scary. -Tell me about it.

The moment you slip, the pack of hyenas lunge at you.

It's a jungle.

Can I ask you a question, Jin-kyung?

You just said "high traison."

-Yeah, what was that about? -Can you describe what that means?

I committed high traison.

I wondered about that too.

"Why did she say 'high traison' instead of 'high treason'?"

But I let it slip,

thinking she might find it too stressful.

Consider Seoul Station or Busan Station.

Train stations are national assets.

Attacks on major ones can be a national security threat.

Yes, exactly.

You'll have to be on your toes today.

DIZZY

This is the second shoot after the incident,

and I'm stressed out already.

All right, everyone. Can you guess where we are?

-A kids café. -I suppose Jin-kyung

and Woo-jae are familiar with it.

I don't see my niece that often, so it's actually my first visit today.

-We don't have a reason to visit one. -It's my first visit too.

Same here.

-What about you, Jin-kyung? -I had many visits when La-el was young.

When you were young, this kind of facility--

-It wasn't around. -All we had were playgrounds.

Playgrounds with dirt floors.

When I was young, we didn't even have regular cafés.

NO CAFÉS LET ALONE KID CAFÉS

Oh, that's true.

We had nothing like it.

Didn't you play on market streets as a kid?

-You bet I did. -Or an old-school coffee shop.

Honestly, cafés weren't a thing then.

A THOUGHT STRIKES JIN-KYUNG

-Can we continue sitting down? -Excuse me?

Can we sit down?

We'll stay on our feet, but you can sit down.

Yeah, feel free.

-You may sit down. -Can I get a chair?

(SCURRYING OFF)

IT'S UNLIKE WOO-JAE TO DO A FAVOR FOR JIN-KYUNG…

-Woo-jae's so sweet… -It's okay…

-You can follow his example. -What?

-Let's each bring a chair and sit down. -Go get one yourself.

-There's one. -I should've known.

It was unlike Woo-jae to bring her a chair.

BEST PERSONALITY EVER

There you go. Take that with you.

Well done. That's it.

-Woo-jae hasn't changed a bit. -Good.

With how things look, we should have Sook sit down first.

I'll get you a chair.

-I get to sit? -Found it.

-Here's one, Jin-kyung. -Take this.

Thanks.

There you go.

SITTING DOWN AT LAST!

-It looks uncomfortable. -Do we all sit?

Let's sit.

I want to show my commitment by staying on my feet.

Oh, as for me…

Wait.

To show my commitment, I'll sit on the invisible chair.

INVISIBLE CHAIR

I mean, we don't have the time to bother with sitting down.

FOR COMMITTING HIGH "TRAISON"

I want to be able to meet the viewers' eyes.

Me too.

Perfect eye level.

Let's circle back. What did you do for fun as a kid?

Horseback riding?

Back then, vendors used to bring toy ponies.

-Ponies… -The vendors traveled.

They would bring a cart with five ponies.

Also, puffed rice vendors brought excitement.

-You know how they say "Puff!", right? -Sure.

I loved watching them.

We also had a blast running after fumigation trucks.

-Oh, the trampoline! -Whenever a vendor brought it…

(SOMETHING WENT DOWN THE WRONG PIPE)

I suppose I was in the sixth grade

when I nagged…

COUGH, COUGH

A COUGHING FIT

MR. PAPER DOLL HAS GONE WEAK…

…at my parents to…

-You need this more than Sook. -Take it.

I'm good.

I'm fine, really.

I pestered them…

This actually suits you.

It goes well with you.

-Goodness. -I got a Game Boy.

HE'S WORN OUT IN JUST 20 MINUTES…

So…

A SHORT REST PRESCRIBED

There's a reason why we asked you to come here.

It would be terrific if Screwballs were to become a long-running show.

-Sure. -Of course.

For our show to have a long run,

we prepared this mission for today.

It is winning the hearts of future viewers.

We have to win over the future viewers?

We'll be meeting children, then.

Hold on.

-It's so important. -I bet they'll love Sae-ho.

Think about your outfit.

We're meeting the future viewers?

FUTURE VIEWERS = CHILDREN

My getup will probably scare them.

So we're meeting kids?

AN UNEXPECTED MISSION GOT THEIR HEARTS RACING!

This is going to be no joke.

To be a long-running series,

we'll have to open the hearts of the future viewers.

Please do your best to charm the children who will become our future viewers.

-How old are they? -Tell us their age.

-How old? -You'll be meeting two groups of children.

The first group of children you'll meet

are two-year-olds.

How adorable. That's when they're the cutest.

They're about the same age as my niece.

Four-year-olds are so lovely.

You'll soon be meeting the children.

Who do you think will be popular among them?

-I'd say Pororo. -For sure.

-I doubt… -This guy, considering his costume.

…the children will recognize us.

-You bet they won't. -But considering our costume.

Before all that,

kids love good-looking people.

-No way. -He's dressed as their type.

They like prince characters.

Children do love attractive people.

BURSTS INTO TEARS

See? She's crying harder at the sight of you.

How could you make a kid cry?

We have a misunderstanding here.

WOO-YOUNG BLAMES A MISUNDERSTANDING

BUT HE'S GOING TO KEEP MAKING CHILDREN CRY REGARDLESS OF THEIR AGE

TEARS

There's a high chance

kids will think she's a man.

They might think she's an old gentleman.

I'm being serious. Children have no idea about costumes.

(THE CULPRIT BEHIND THE TEARS)

WAILING

Couldn't you have given me a heads-up about meeting children?

They might actually love Jin-kyung.

-Her costume is cute. -Yeah, the candelabra.

They might get confused if she's a person or not.

Can I teach kids calculus?

I should film a dance challenge with them.

-For "Simple Dance"? -Hey, that's a good idea.

My heart is thumping. Children will be challenging customers.

The best teacher who charms the young children

will be given an incredible gift.

Please look forward to it.

We've divided you into two groups randomly.

-Each team… -Two teams?

…will be one-day teachers.

Whoever gives the children the most joy

will likely earn their votes

-for the best teacher. -Of course.

You're pairing me with Sae-ho, right?

-I could never beat this comedian. -It won't be like that.

Why don't I lie down for a bit while he takes care of them?

You might still win.

The key is being honest and open-hearted.

Here's what I want.

He'll take care of the kids only to lose their votes to me.

-That's my best-case scenario. -That can happen.

They may go, "Who's that guy? I want to know more about him."

Nothing is off-limits so long as we get the most votes, right?

That's it.

-I'll leave it to your capable hands. -We've got this.

-Good luck! -All right!

CAN THEY CAPTURE FUTURE VIEWERS' HEARTS?

SCREWBALLS

SAE-HO AND WOO-JAE ARE VISITING ANOTHER KIDS CAFÉ IN A NEIGHBORING AREA

My gosh, this is new.

MR. CHO HAS ARRIVED FIRST

I hope I can meet

the children's energy level.

Jeong-hu, Seo-jin, A-yun,

I-na, and Hae-sa.

Hae-sa is a lovely name.

Cho Hae-sa.

-I only need to give them a good time? -Yes.

With the children.

My past experience taught me

that those in childcare services are on par with gods.

I once had to oversee a game.

When I told the kids I would explain the rules to them,

they dispersed.

I have infinite respect for teachers of day care centers.

AWARE OF THE DIFFICULTIES

The thing is, I'm not all that confident

about my skills in giving kids a good time.

I do have another concern.

When young kids at this age

are exposed to a horrific sight,

they tend to remember it for a long time.

I'm worried we might end up scarring them

-with awful memories. -Oh, come on.

-These two uncles… -Just play with them.

Yes, that's all.

I feel rather nervous.

We'll be meeting really young kids.

The important thing is winning the children's votes,

so think about what you can offer.

Can we give them some money?

If you have money to spare, give it to Jin-kyung and me.

SHOOT WAS CONDUCTED SAFELY UNDER SUPERVISION OF STAFF

Everyone, let's get off the elevator.

-Go. -Let's get off.

Here they come.

-Hi. -Hello.

Hi.

7 CHILDREN OF NARAE CLASS FROM LOVE FOREST DAY CARE CENTER

It's lovely to meet you.

Hello.

-Hi. -You're all so adorable.

How cute.

Why don't we help you take off your shoes?

WHO ARE YOU?

It's all good. Good morning.

My gosh.

Hello.

SHY FUTURE VIEWERS

-We're so happy to meet you. -Say hello.

-Hello. -Hi.

ONE CHILD WARMS UP TO THEM AND RUSHES OVER

Hi.

-Wait. -Where are you going?

How exciting.

HE WAS AFTER THE TOYS

-What an active boy. -This isn't going so well.

Aren't I super fast?

-Hello, everyone. -Please come here.

-This way. -It's all good.

THEIR HEARTS ARE UNMOVED

WARY

Hello.

GRAMPS TRIES TO GET TO KNOW THE ADVENTUROUS BOY

What is your name?

Hong Yul!

Really?

Hi, Yul.

GRAMPS HAPPENED TO HAVE HIS NAME TAG

Hi, Yul.

HI TO YOU TOO

Can I-seo raise their hand?

Who is An I-seo?

Which one of you is An I-seo?

(AN I-SEO) (HA-ON HIDING BEHIND HER FRIEND)

AN I-SEO

Hello.

Welcome.

NOT EASY FROM THE GET-GO

-Welcome. -Hi.

LEE HA-ON, HAE-NA

Welcome. Hey, someone's crying.

She's crying.

-What's wrong? -Look, Hae-na. Here's the Prince.

I'm the Prince from the cartoon.

-I'm the Prince. -She's staring at Woo-young as she cries.

What?

Stay away.

You heard Jin-kyung. Step aside.

-How could you make a kid cry? -Come to me, kids.

We have a misunderstanding here.

How could you? She must be so scared of you.

See? She's crying harder at the sight of you.

No, that's because of Sook.

-Is that right? -Yeah.

GRAMPS WAS THE CULPRIT

TO HAE-NA, THEY ALL LOOK SUSPICIOUS

-Goodness. -She's bawling now.

Don't worry.

-It's all right. -You got it wrong.

FUTURE VIEWER BACKS AWAY

Do something, Jin-kyung.

Come on.

Hi, do you see the flame here?

My gosh. She hates it.

She's so scared.

THAT ONLY MADE THINGS WORSE

-She hates it. -Blow on it.

SHE'S ACTING LIKE SHE'S FACED WITH A HIDEOUS MONSTER

She's terrified.

It's okay.

It's all right.

It's your eyebrows.

-Sorry? -She finds your eyebrows scary.

Oh, my eyebrows?

It's fine. She's not a scary person.

She practically backed away from me.

Do these eyebrows look that menacing?

-Ta-da. -What are those?

Come here, Ha-on. Take some crackers.

Do you like these?

PORORO?

-Do you like crackers, Hae-na? -That's Loopy.

Hae-na loves Petty.

-You like Petty, Hae-na? -Yes.

Why don't we look for Petty here?

Where is Petty?

I wonder where she is.

(A MOM WITH 14 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE)

Petty.

There she is. Look, here's Petty!

Look, she's got Petty!

Hooray!

CALM

Are you good now? Okay.

-Do you like Petty? -You want some more? Ask her.

-I have another Petty. -She has more.

One more Petty for you.

Can you give me a hug?

Say, "Thank you."

Thank you.

-Say, "Thank you." -Thank you.

HER YOUNG HEART IS FINALLY OPEN

-Thank you. -Well done, Hae-na.

I've picked up some tricks from raising my daughter.

All it takes is the Pororo crackers.

Ask them who's your favorite, and you're all set.

Who's your favorite?

Pororo.

-Pororo. -I've got you.

Look, it's Pororo.

Is he your favorite?

Here you go.

Go ahead and thank her.

Have this, Yul.

Open wide.

-Say thank you. -Do you like crackers?

-Yeah. -Can you give me a hug?

My gosh, thank you.

Yul, I have your name tag.

Let me put it on right here.

There you go, Yul.

You're all set.

KIDS START WARMING UP TO THEM

LET'S CHECK ON THE PRINCE, THE CHILD CARE NOVICE

Who is Ho-won?

(I'M SEONG-JUN)

Are you perhaps…

Are you Ho-won?

Hi, Ho-won. Are you applying lipstick?

PRINCE WOO-YOUNG'S LONELY COURTSHIP

ABSORBED IN HER MAKEUP

HEH…

What's your name?

It's Won.

Won?

FINALLY, A RESPONSIVE FUTURE VIEWER!

-You're Won? -Yeah.

Hi, Won.

Hi.

SO COOL

The children

are having a fine time on their own.

Do they generally not require a playmate?

No.

Really?

Yes, but they'll have more fun if you chime in every now and then.

-Just every now and then? -Yes.

AFTER A SHORT OBSERVATION

Oh, you're putting it there?

Great job.

Well done.

They don't need us to have a good time.

I can't help but wonder

if we're being of any use to them.

I don't think we are.

Shall we go on the trampoline, I-seo?

GRAMP'S SLOW AND CAUTIOUS APPROACH

Won, look at me.

LOL

Won, look at me.

PESKY PRINCE ON HIS WHITE HORSE

I'm having a blast!

ATTENTION HOG PRINCE

Hey, Won. Don't forget me!

I'M FORGETTING ALL ABOUT YOU

Won, you're hurting my feelings.

Still, I won't forget you.

A NEW CRIER

He's made another girl cry.

HA-ON DOESN'T LIKE THE LIVE-ACTION PRINCE

Woo-young is the least popular.

Everyone cries when they see him.

Ha-on, I'm a person.

I'm a person just like you.

Woo-young

made two girls cry.

There was a misunderstanding.

It's because…

YOUR LAME JOKES ARE THE CAUSE

We have an ice cream shop.

(I-SEO) (HAE-NA)

Let's check out the ice cream.

Do you like strawberry-flavored ice cream?

Strawberry.

Ta-da. Here's your ice cream.

Is it good?

-Yeah! -Good.

What flavor would you like, I-seo?

(SHAKING HER HEAD)

Which is your favorite between strawberry and chocolate?

-This. -What?

This.

ONE OF HAE-NA'S PARENTS IS AMERICAN

Do you like chocolate?

Yeah.

SPEAKING HAE-NA'S LANGUAGE BROUGHT JIN-KYUNG CLOSER TO HER

My gosh, Jin-kyung.

What did you do?

There's no helping it.

I need some tools.

THE ITEM TO HOG EVERYONE'S ATTENTION

Won!

Won and I-seo.

COULD I GET YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE?

Stop making children cry, all right?

WHAT ON EARTH IS HE DOING?

THIS TIME, HE'S USING THE TOY PLANE

CHUCKLES

HE'S TRYING TO MAKE THE KIDS BABYSIT HIM, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND

YOU'RE TRYING

-He gets their attention, at least. -Gosh, this is so fun!

Hey, I'm playing with this toy plane.

BUT THE FUTURE VIEWERS ARE FAR FROM ENTHUSIASTIC

Hey, I'm playing with this toy plane.

Shall we go check him out?

Do you want to go to the Prince?

NOPE

Doesn't he look like a prince?

Does he look like a bum?

I don't want to go to the Prince.

You don't want to go to him? Got it.

HE'S HAVING FUN ON HIS OWN

Guys, look.

UNINTERESTED

No one's looking.

-Guys… Oops, I'm sorry. -No one.

Hey, why do you keep making the kids cry?

Here I go, Sook.

Whee! It's fun for me.

FINALLY SPOTTED A "CHILD" WILLING TO PLAY WITH HIM

Even the plane flopped.

OPERATION TOY PLANE FAILED

WOO-YOUNG NEEDS A BRAND-NEW APPROACH

TRYING HIS MAIN GIG ENTER THE MIC

Hello, everyone.

IGNORES

Two, three.

-Let's sing a song. -That might give them a bad memory.

Let's do it.

Hello, children.

We'll now begin a musical performance for you.

-A round of applause, please. -A round of applause.

-A round of applause, please. -A round of applause.

CLAPPING

What's this about?

-We'll sing you a song. -Hey, Yul.

We're actually singers.

All right. I'll dance for you.

Really? Great!

-Dance for us. -Good idea.

CAN'T HAVE AN EXCITING SONG WITHOUT DANCE

Put your hands up!

HOP

Hold your hands above your head.

Looking great, Yul.

Won, must you keep making me feel sad?

-Two, three, four. Go! -By any chance

By any chance

A BALLAD TO GO WITH CHILDREN'S DANCE?

If I were to go

YOU SPOILED IT FOR ME

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE

WHO SINGS A BALLAD WHEN EVERYONE IS HAVING FUN

She insisted on singing even if we couldn't use it.

WE CAN'T USE THE AUDIO DUE TO A COPYRIGHT ISSUE

SINGING HER HEART OUT

Is such a gloomy song suitable for young children?

UTTERLY UNINTERESTED

Hey, put your hands up!

LET'S LIGHTEN THINGS UP AGAIN!

THIS PRINCE MUST'VE DANCED IN HIS HEYDAY

Put your hands up

Let's all hold our hands up

As well as our feet

Hold up anything you can

(SHE'S STILL SINGING)

Hey!

SURLY

I was singing, okay?

Kids loved it.

They were enjoying it, Woo-young.

You should try harder.

Netflix shows have to pay copyright fees for songs.

SO PLEASE STOP IT…

But the children loved it.

WHY DON'T YOU GO SING IN A COIN KARAOKE?

I barely got the children to smile,

and she got in the way.

SHE KEEPS SPOILING THE MOOD

Do you want to hop on? Here's your seat.

Off you go, you two.

Faster!

UP AND DOWN THEY GO, AND THE CHILDREN'S SPIRITS SOAR

Are you having fun?

They're loving it.

That's enough.

-You've had enough? -Yeah.

-He wants to get off. -Okay. He wants a short ride.

Why don't we try this?

It looks so fun.

SQUASHING THEMSELVES ONTO THE SEE-SAW

Gosh, I never knew this could be so fun.

It's amazing.

It's so much fun. It's far better than I imagined.

AN UNEXPECTED SOURCE OF JOY

This is so much fun.

-Sook, this is incredible. -Isn't it wonderful?

-It's mind-blowing. -Who'd have thought, right?

-What's this? -I should buy one.

It's so much fun.

This is hilarious.

WHO'S THE KID NOW?

It was my best moment of 2025 so far.

I suppose you have the most fun when you're hanging out with your peers.

I too love hanging out with Jin-kyung the most.

GIGGLES

Let's see.

This is a great find.

Why don't I take a photo for you?

Three, two, one.

(SHY)

-All right, then. Yul. -Yeah?

Give me your best pose.

Three, two, one.

A PRANKSTER'S POSE

Oh, no. Give me an adorable one.

This is the funny one.

Come on. I want a cute one.

No. Show me your lovely face.

#YUL #PRANKSTER #STUBBORN #EXPRESSIVE

(PHOTOGRAPHER GRAMPS)

-Sook! -Yeah?

I found another great toy.

You did?

It's really fun.

What is?

Also,

this engages your core muscles.

-Yeah? -It's a decent workout tool.

It's so much fun.

#JIN-KYUNG #LA-EL'S MOM #MA'AM, THIS IS INAPPROPRIATE

MS. MOM IS EMBRACING HER INNER CHILD TODAY THE SLIDE IS HER NEXT STOP

My gosh.

The slide is so much fun.

It's incredible. Try it just once.

-I mean it. -Just once.

-It will exceed your imagination. -But Jin-kyung,

-we're on camera. -Try it, Sook.

-Wait, I'm going first. -I had a blast.

-I'm going first. -Get in line.

-No, me first. -Get in line.

-But-- -Go on.

I'm going next.

-You're unbelievable. -Dang!

Isn't it amazing, Sook?

It's on another level.

MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED

THE PRINCE JOINS IN

Go on.

-Down I go. -Okay.

What on earth?

What's with this?

Isn't it pretty good?

I'm going to ask my friends to meet me at a kids café.

I think it's made for me.

My gosh.

Excuse me, Jin-kyung.

We get it, okay?

It's just like when the pirate ship drops.

-Sure. -The slide makes you feel that rush.

-You've had enough. -Okay.

That was fun.

Why don't we try the fishing toy?

Jin-kyung, the kids--

Come on, they're having fun on their own.

-Let's try this. -Go ahead.

You could say she's a kid too.

She has several wounds of sorts.

I must stress

that we have no special ties.

Hey, Woo-young. This is very therapeutic.

Sure.

FULLY ENGROSSED

At any rate, Jin-kyung has gone way down

to meet the children's level. Look.

Won.

See?

(SPEEDING PAST)

Can you come to me?

It does take time, sure.

But in the end, Won will come to me.

For sure, he'll come into my arms.

He does operate on his own schedule.

Hello, I-seo. I-seo and I are pretty tight.

Hi, I-seo.

CLOSE ENOUGH TO EXCHANGE GREETINGS

This is top secret,

but I've managed…

to understand the bond between the children here.

I-seo

likes Won.

I-seo

likes Won.

A ROMANCE KINDLING IN NARAE CLASS?

I've observed these two

exchanging glances many times.

This should be kept a secret from the other kids.

Won.

See? He's startled.

He visibly jumped.

Where's I-seo?

-Won, what about me? -Where is I-seo?

I-seo.

I love you.

-I… -I want I-seo.

WHERE ARE YOU, I-SEO?

What's the matter, Won?

-Won. -I-seo!

-Come here. -You want I-seo?

-Yeah. -Shall we go see her?

-Let's go find her. -Won.

10 MINUTES AGO…

(I-SEO) (YUL)

WON HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO WATCH I-SEO SPEND TIME WITH YUL

-I-seo's right here. -I-seo!

She's here.

-I-seo. -There she is.

-She's right there. -I-seo.

-Look, I-seo's here. -Yeah.

-There she is. -Look, it's I-seo.

WATCHFUL AND ENCHANTING I-SEO

-I-seo, can you give Won a hug? -Hey, I-seo.

-Won's been asking to see you. -Give him a hug.

HE'S BEEN LOOKING FOR ME?

I-seo.

-My gosh. -I-seo.

I-seo.

I-SEO APPROACHES WON QUIETLY

AND HOLDS HIS HAND

SHE'S AN ALPHA FEMALE FOR SURE

(HANDS HELD TIGHTLY)

Something's going on between them.

PFFT

-You know what, Woo-young? -What?

I haven't seen such devotion lately.

She was out of his sight for only a minute,

and Won started bawling.

I've never seen such passion before.

He loves her truly.

I-seo walked up to him, all composed,

and led him away by his hand.

I-SEO CAME TO HIM AND HELD HIS HAND FIRST

My gosh.

A love like that is rare these days.

(LET'S STAY TOGETHER FROM NOW ON)

To think she made him stop crying just like that.

Jin-kyung, your snot… Wait, it's not you.

Go and wipe Won's snot.

How fun!

Won, come here. Let me wipe your tears.

You poor thing. You were so sad, weren't you?

-I-seo wasn't there, was she? -No.

-You then missed her all of a sudden. -Yeah.

-Do you like her best? -Yeah.

Why do you like I-seo?

It's so much fun.

MA'AM, WE TOLD YOU THIS WAS INAPPROPRIATE

This is so much fun, Ha-on.

(HAE-NA) (HA-ON)

HURRYING BACK

I love this.

Woo-young, come here. It's really amazing.

-Let me join you. -It's incredible.

-How do I get there? -Come on up.

HEIGH-HO

PRINCE WOO-YOUNG'S SOCKS ARE GIVING HIM TROUBLE

-Woo-young, look. -How do I climb up?

-You mean here? -Yeah!

Take off your socks first.

On barefoot like this!

Come on up, Woo-young. This is really fun.

How do I get there? Tell me how to get up.

-Get up here already. -I'm really slipping.

-Stop messing around. -I'm not exaggerating.

What's with you?

Give me a hand, Ho-won.

What's with you?

(HO-WON)

Please help.

LITTLE RESCUER ON THE WAY

Guys, please help me.

Hurry. Please pull me up.

Quickly, I-seo. Won!

-One, two, three. -Two, three.

(A TIGHT GRIP)

HIGH-MAINTENANCE PRINCE

Give me a hand!

MR. NUISANCE FINALLY REACHES THE TOP

Won, you saved my life. Up top!

Yeah!

WON HAS DONE IT AGAIN

Slide down on three.

It's much better than you might think.

-One, two, three. -Two, three.

GIGGLING

Hey.

Isn't it amazing?

It's so much fun.

-No wonder kids love it. -I can't believe you hogged this place.

-I get it. -That was mean.

Let us join you.

I get why they love it.

WOULDN'T BE STRANGE TO JOIN DAY CARE THEMSELVES

I'll get there in one go this time. Watch me closely.

-I'll join you in my first attempt. -All right.

Can you say, "Go"?

-Go! -Go!

-Go! -Go!

HERE I COME!

GOOD JOB

Why don't the five of us slide down together?

-We'll go together. -Yeah, let's.

-On three, okay? -Are you ready?

-You can start from there. -I-seo.

Okay. Ready.

-All right. -One.

-Two, three. -Two, three.

GO

…three.

IT WAS A SHORT RIDE DOWN

BUT THEIR HUGE SMILES LINGER

Gosh, it's so much fun.

HOORAY

UNCOMFORTABLE

-My gosh. What's this? -Hey.

Isn't it wild how fun this is?

-Jin-kyung. -Check this out, Woo-young.

When we jump together, we can go higher.

THE HIGHER THEY JUMP, THE MORE IMMATURE THEY GET

Jin-kyung, watch out for your head.

LOOK AT ADORABLE WON CAREFULLY SORTING OUT HIS SLING BAG

I should take some photos of them too.

GRAMPS FOUND HIS NEW CALLING AS A PHOTOGRAPHER

I'm going to take some photos. Please smile.

Three, two…

Can you stand closer?

-Come here. Let's take a photo. -Closer, please.

-Let's take one together. Come on. -Stand closer.

Come here. We're friends.

We're friends.

Isn't this fun, guys?

I'm loving this.

MORE EXCITED THAN THE KIDS

-It's insane. -I need to slide down one more time.

As a kid, I used to do this all the time.

CAN THAT BE THE SECRET TO HER HEIGHT?

LET'S CHECK ON THE KIDS CAFÉ ASSIGNED TO SAE-HO AND WOO-JAE

They'll be coming in any minute.

Hey, there they are.

FINALLY?

Got you.

Kids love this kind of joke.

I mean it. Hey, they're really here.

I got you good.

-How childish. -They love this.

For children to have fun…

My gosh.

Goodness.

Too scary.

It's scary?

LONG LIMBS WON'T HELP TODAY

Did I do it wrong?

Here's what we'll do.

Who wants to dress up like a princess?

Who wants to try these dresses?

-Me! -I want the pink one.

Which pink one? This?

Who wants this?

MR. CHO ATTRACTS THE KIDS WITH FANCY DRESSES

You want this, A-yun?

Let me help you one by one.

You'll wear this, I-na.

MR. CHO, ONE-DAY KINDERGARTEN TEACHER NEVER DRESSED UP A YOUNG CHILD BEFORE

MEANWHILE, WOO-JAE IS IN CHARGE OF THE BOYS

How can this guy change his form?

My gosh. Toys these days…

Look, guys.

The car turned into a robot. Goodness.

Robot.

THE TOYS EXCITE WOO-JAE MORE THAN THE BOYS

-Four. -What are you doing, Hae-sa?

Do you want to go on this, Hae-sa?

She's looking for a place to hide.

SHE HASN'T FOUND ONE YET, HAS SHE?

-How about it? -I'll come find you now.

I'll come looking for you.

I'll come find you now.

PLAYER COUNT: 1

JEONG-HU BECOMES THE SOLE PLAYER IN MR. JOO'S HIDE-AND-SEEK ONCE MORE

I'm right here!

STAYING WELL HIDDEN IS THE KEY TO HIDE-AND-SEEK

Here I am!

-I wonder where Jeong-hu is. -Here.

Where are you, Jeong-hu?

I DIDN'T HEAR JEONG-HU… I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS…

Where did Jeong-hu go? I need to find him.

I'm right here!

Jeong-hu, you shouldn't tell me where you're hidden.

I'm here.

HE'S ON A NEW LEVEL

THE 38-YEAR AGE GAP BLOCKS WOO-JAE'S UNDERSTANDING

There you are.

Come up here!

Can I go and hide, Jeong-hu?

What do we do? This fish?

-The fishy. -What's this?

Wow, fish.

-Oh, you can try fishing here. -There!

-Do you want to try fishing? -Yeah.

HIS LOWER BODY CAN'T FIT INTO THIS SPACE

BUT HE CAN ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE WITH HIS TORSO CRAMMED UP THERE

Hey, you caught one!

You did it, Jeong-hu.

JEONG-HU HAS EASILY CAUGHT A BIG ONE

-I did it! -Applause.

-I caught fish. -Applause.

-Wanna catch another one? -Yeah.

Let's do it again.

IF THAT'S WHAT JEONG-HU WANTS, I DON'T MIND MY LEGS AT ALL

WHILE WOO-JAE IS TAKING CARE OF JEONG-HU…

SAE-HO IS LEFT IN CHARGE OF THE REMAINING 4 CHILDREN

Hop on the Pirate Ship!

All right. Here we go.

MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE GETS ON BOARD

Off we go.

PIRATE SHIP "THE SAE-HO" LEAVES PORT

You'll have to make some noise.

Let me hear you scream!

SHRILL CRIES

One more time. Let me hear your voice!

All right.

Scream if you're having fun!

HAPPY SQUEALS

MR. CHO GIVES THEM A GREAT TIME USING HIS EXPERIENCES LEADING GROUP EVENTS

The ship might trip. It really might!

Shall we pick up some speed? Would you rather if we slowed down?

-Faster! -Really?

MR. CHO IS TAKING CARE OF 4 KIDS WITH THE BOAT RIDE

MEANWHILE, MR. JOO IS STILL ON A FISHING TRIP WITH JEONG-HU

Shall we catch some more?

Say hi to the friend sitting across from you.

How about a high five? Give each other a high five to say hi.

A-yun.

Let me take your photo.

Look here and give me a pretty smile.

Look this way, A-yun.

Let's be careful.

-Don't let me catch you. -Gently.

-Easy does it. -Don't get caught.

-Wow. Oh, no. It got away. -Guys, I'm so hungry.

-Can I get something to eat? -Shall we try one more time?

MR. CHO PLAYED 6 GAMES IN 30 MINUTES

All right.

HE'S BEEN VERY DILIGENT

Jeong-hu, are you trying to catch all the fish in this pond?

Yeah.

I see fish!

SPENT 30 MINUTES IN THIS POSE TO HELP HIM

Jeong-hu.

We shouldn't catch fish more than we can eat.

Count how many you've caught so far.

THEY SAY MODERATION IS KEY

One, two,

three, four,

five, six…

Are you going to empty the pond?

Yes.

What are you going to do with all the fish you caught?

Eat them.

-You're going to eat them? -Yeah.

I WONDER WHAT SAE-HO IS DOING

What have you got for me?

What's this?

-Rice. -Rice?

DID RESERVED HAE-SA ACTUALLY SPEAK JUST NOW?

So? Do you want to ride it again, Hae-sa?

WHEN HAE-SA NEEDED HELP

You're smiling, Hae-sa.

SAE-HO CAME TO HER AID AS QUICKLY AS A SHOOTING STAR

I'm too hungry, miss. Can I get something to eat?

(NODDING)

How much does the meal cost?

Will this be enough?

Can you try this with me?

Make a heart.

There you go. Finger heart.

Can I please get some delicious snacks?

(A BEAM OF CONSENT)

THOUGH SHE DOESN'T TALK MUCH, HAE-SA SHOWS HER AFFECTION IN HER OWN WAY

(+5 PUMPS OF CARE)

(A GENEROUS PORTION OF LOVE)

(A SPRAY OF INTEREST)

HAE-SA CLEARLY ADORES MR. CHO THE MOST

It's so good. Do you want a bite, Hae-sa?

Just a bit.

So?

Give me a high five.

THE OTHER KIDS ALSO LOVE MR. CHO

I DON'T THINK I SHOULD STAY STUCK HERE…

Jeong-hu. Do you want to keep fishing?

Yeah.

Why don't we go try something else?

Okay.

Set them free yourself.

JEONG-HU WRAPS THINGS UP FOR MR. JOO

Wish them a good life.

Have a nice life.

Say, "Let's hang out again."

"Let's have fun again later."

Let's have fun again later.

FINALLY MOVING ONTO A NEW SPOT

What do you want to do next, Jeong-hu?

Seo-jin.

Do you want to ride this too?

-What? -Do you want a ride?

No.

I want to try fishing.

I want to try fishing.

I want to try fishing.

-Fishing? -Yeah.

Jeong-hu's been fishing all this time.

-Do you want to fish too? -Yeah.

-All right, then. -Okay.

RETURNS IN 1 MINUTE

-You can use this. -Okay.

Like this.

There's a magnet inside their mouth.

Where?

LOVE FOREST DAY CARE CENTER HAS SO MANY FISHING ENTHUSIASTS…

MR. JOO DEVOTES HIS ENERGY TO FISHING AGAIN

I-na. Can you come to me, please?

I want to ask you something.

You met Mr. Joo and me today for the first time.

If you have to choose between Mr. Joo and me,

who seems to be the kindest?

Really?

Well done.

Follow me down, Seo-jin.

Okay.

You heard me, right? Follow me down.

Got it.

FINALLY ESCAPES THE FISHING SPOT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES

What are you doing, I-na?

I'm doing origami.

You're doing origami?

SLIDING NEXT TO LONE I-NA

Shall I make one for you?

Tell me what you want.

A unicorn.

-What? -A unicorn.

A unicorn?

UNICORNS ARE PRETTY… BUT I'M NOT SURE IF I CAN MAKE ONE

You want me to make a unicorn?

-Yes. -I'll make one for you.

HE'S BARELY ESCAPED THE FISHING SPOT, BUT HIS NEXT TASK IS CREATING A UNICORN

I-na. Let's say I make you an origami unicorn.

What will you do for me?

LIFE IS ALL ABOUT GIVE AND TAKE, I-NA

I'll make you a unicorn.

OKAY, HERE GOES NOTHING

Don't you want to play tag with me?

[STILL DOING HIS BEST]

-Sae-ho. -Huh?

So, how's it going?

This is really exhausting.

LET'S DO A RETAKE

It's lovely and exciting to be with the children,

but I wonder what more I can do for them.

That's tricky.

I still do feel like they've warmed up to me.

What's the most challenging aspect?

The most challenging aspect

is that my input is rarely considered.

That's about it.

It gives me great joy to be around the children

and see them open up their pure hearts to me.

I still want to please them further.

That's my ultimate goal.

Do you… Do you think…

-What happened? -Something's going on there.

-A-yun. -Go and help them.

What's up?

Does anyone need help?

What's going on?

Can I see it?

It's a unicorn.

-Wow. -Do you see its horn here?

Can you see the horn?

I-NA IS NO GOOD AT LYING

Here's your unicorn.

BEATING IN THE IDEA

What does it look like to you, I-na?

A horse.

Did you say horse?

You got it right.

Why don't you glue this here?

You can…

What's going on, A-yun?

YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF, MR. JOO

Shall we catch some fish?

-Yes! -Go ahead and try it.

Here's your unicorn.

WAS MAKING A UNICORN A BAD IDEA?

I-na.

Ms. I-na.

Can you come here?

Why don't we glue pictures together?

-All right. -Which picture do you want?

Lion.

The lion?

I'll cut it up and put it for you.

Listen, I-na.

If you had to compare Mr. Cho over there and me,

who's the most handsome one?

(A POKE)

YOU'VE GOT STANDARDS, I-NA

Who seems to be the kindest?

Who's the most handsome one?

EACH ASKED A SELF-SERVING QUESTION

How about I cut up the lion and you glue it on the sketchbook?

KIND MR. CHO MAY NOT BE GOOD-LOOKING, BUT HE'S GIVING THEM A GOOD TIME

Who wants to go down the slide?

Do you want to go down the slide, Hae-sa?

Tell me, I-na. Who's your favorite, your mom or your dad?

-Come on down. -Mom and dad…

-What? -Mom and dad…

-All right. Let's go! -I like my mom more.

You like your mom more?

THE NOISE IS GETTING TO HER

Do you like your mom more?

Yeah.

What about your dad?

BEATS ME

I-NA FAVORS KINDNESS AND FUN OVER GOOD LOOKS

NOTHING GOES YOUR WAY IN CHILD CARE

I guess my niece

only likes me because I'm her uncle.

I FINALLY LEARNED THE TRUTH

UNLIKE WOO-JAE, SAE-HO NOW SEEMS RELAXED

All right. Hae-sa is coming down.

Hae-sa!

Up top. Good job.

Give me a high five.

Well done. Give me a high five.

One more time. Let's see who can come down first.

Off you go!

(I'LL GET THERE THE QUICKEST)

Up top. Give me a high five. Come on.

HE'S PRACTICALLY A PROFESSIONAL

SAE-HO HAS MANAGED TO TAKE HOLD OF ALL FUTURE VIEWERS' AFFECTION

Great job. Give me a high five.

Let's high-five! Okay. One more!

WOO-JAE CAN'T JUST SIT BACK
