A BIG GROUP OF CUSTOMERS

Ms. Han Bun-nim.

BOSS PARK IS BUSY WITH THE BIG QUEUE OF CUSTOMERS

It's mostly white back there.

A slight trim?

Open your mouth wider. Don't try to look pretty.

- Thank you. - Sure.

- I'll do my best. - Thank you.

Let me know if anything hurts or feels uncomfortable.

Thank you for waiting.

A round of applause, please!

DAY 4 PASSED BY SO QUICKLY

AND THE DAY FINALLY ENDS

- Great work today. - Great work.

Great work.

Anyway, we made 105,000 won today.

- Today, we made over 105,000 won. - We made over 100,000 won?

SURPRISED

Oh, wow.

- This has never happened. - You're right.

STUNNED AT THE HIGH INCOME

I don't know what to do.

TRYING NOT TO SMILE

SO PRECIOUS

Anyway, we should wrap up first.

SKILLFUL MOVEMENTS TO LEAVE WORK EARLY

DOING HIS BEST

SPIC-AND-SPAN

I'll wash the area tomorrow.

You can leave it there.

- Let's go. - Great work today.

Great work.

6 P.M. CLOSING TIME

Let's go.

THE TRIO LEAVES THE BARBERSHOP AFTER IT HAS TURNED DARK

I want to go grocery shopping. I want to venture out now.

Like we said yesterday, we need to go grocery shopping.

Do you all agree to closing early at 4?

- We'll close early at 4 p.m. - I'm all for that.

- Guess what? - What?

We failed yet again today.

HOWEVER, THE GROCERY STORE DOWNTOWN HAS ALREADY CLOSED

Let's just give up.

Great.

BUT THEY'RE IN A CAR, NOT AT HOME

IT'S THE TRIO'S FIRST TIME LEAVING THE VILLAGE TOGETHER

We finally got to leave home and the barbershop for the first time.

It's my first time coming out this far into this main road.

THEY WERE SO DESPERATE TO GO OUT

It's pretty here too. Look at the pine trees.

THEY'RE HEADING TO ANOTHER STORE ABOUT 30 MINUTES AWAY

This is nice.

JUST WATCHING THE VIEW OUTSIDE IS NICE

I like this burning smell.

- Yes, I like that, too. - We're a part of Muju now.

It's a bus. How nice.

HI

BEEN A WHILE SINCE THEY'VE BEEN OUT SO THEY FIND EVERYTHING NICE

THEIR JOY DIDN'T LAST LONG

THE EXHAUSTION BEGINS TO CATCH UP

HUM! HUMMING

BUT THEY'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS

You should take a nap.

- I'm fine. - No, you should take a nap.

OKAY, I'M GOING TO SLEEP

SOUND ASLEEP

FUNNY

He falls asleep the moment he lies on something.

I also fall asleep the moment I decide to.

Get some sleep.

I'll wake you up.

THEY DROVE FOR 20 MORE MINUTES IN THIS EXHAUSTION

AND FINALLY CAME TO TOWN

We're almost here.

Everything here

- is closed too. - I thought so.

The fried chicken place is closed.

Another fried chicken place.

I think someone's there.

GULP

Pork backbone stew sounds good.

THIS PLACE IS CLOSED TOO

ALMOST EVERYTHING IN THIS TOWN IS CLOSED TOO

- We're here now. - Is it closed?

I don't think so.

- Good drive. - Thank you.

STARTLED

Let's go.

THE TRIO ARRIVES AT THE SUPERMARKET

And now

- let us shop. - What should we get first?

We have to find whatever is within reach.

Bleach, soybean oil, tissue paper.

DONG-YEON IS IN CHARGE OF BARBERSHOP SUPPLIES

- Will you get snacks for us? - I'll grab the snacks.

BO GUM AND SANG-YI ARE IN CHARGE OF THE SNACKS

Bleach.

DONG-YEON LOOKS FOR EACH ITEM ON THE LIST

WHERE IS IT?

FOUND IT

Bleach.

FOUND THE PERFECT ROUTE AS THE EXPERT HOUSEKEEPER

Forty disposable bowls.

Disposable cups.

One, two, three.

- Which one? That's fine. - Is it?

Let's get milk. We need it.

It's a little expensive here.

CAREFUL

BO GUM TENDS TO BUY THINGS AFTER CHECKING THE PRICE

HAM, FISH CAKES FROZEN FOODS

I want ice cream.

I WANT SOME

Dong-yeon loves paprika.

- We have lots. - We do?

Do you want some ramyeon?

We have lots of ramyeon, though.

We do?

- Do you want it? - No.

Don't you need rice crackers?

- What rice crackers? - Rice crackers.

Rice crackers.

SHOWS IT TO PERSUADE HIM

HMM

- Never mind. - If you want some

we can get it.

DISAPPOINTED THAT HIS WIFE DIDN'T APPROVE OF THE SNACK

What's that?

- No, we have some at home. - We only have one.

- Really? - Yes.

CONVINCED SUCCESSFULLY

Will that be enough? There are only four.

I think we'll be fine.

We have more.

LIKE A REAL COUPLE FILLING THEIR CART AT A SUPERMARKET

You should grab whatever snack you want.

Snacks. Yes, let's get some snacks.

HE HAS HIS PERMISSION NOW

That looks good.

Yes, let's serve that to customers.

- Do you want a fish-shaped bun? - We'll ask them that.

BUYING ALL KINDS OF SNACKS

- There it is. - That's 5,000 won?

I think we're done now.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

Should we pay?

Should we do this first? I'm done.

We made 105,000 won today, right?

The total is exactly 107,000 won.

THEY WERE SO EXCITED THAT THEY SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY'S PROFIT

One moment.

Excellent.

BO GUM MAKES SPACE IN THE TRUNK TO PUT THE GROCERIES IN

You'll sit on this side, right?

Behind the passenger seat.

- Behind the passenger seat? - My bag.

Let's throw them in.

SPACIOUS

It can fit in a lot.

- This is huge. - It is.

- It's really spacious. - It is.

Tangerines.

- This one. - Okay.

Everything fits.

BOUGHT SNACKS FOR THE VILLAGERS TOO

Awesome.

- Let's go. - Okay.

GOING BACK HOME AFTER THEIR SHORT TRIP

A BUSIER DAY THAN USUAL THANKS TO THE OUTING

Thank you.

BO GUM RUSHES OVER

TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR THEM

We're home.

I'LL HAVE THAT

- You should go inside. - You can go first.

Okay.

HIS ARMS GAVE OUT EASILY

- You can go first. - Okay.

CRUMBLING

EMBARRASSED

Are you that exhausted, Boss?

Should we close tomorrow?

EVEN THE ENERGETIC BO GUM IS DONE FOR THE DAY

I'm sorry about that.

- Great work today. - Great job today.

HE'S A BARBER, BUT...

My hair is a total mess.

HIS FLATTENED HAIR SHOWS HOW TOUGH THE DAY WAS

SIGH

PRETTY MUCH SANG-YI'S FAVORITE SPOT

Yes?

THE TRIO IS ALL OUT OF ENERGY

- Why don't we - Yes?

be a man and a decent grown-up and eat dinner right away?

- Okay. - Let's do that.

- I'll boil the water. - Let's eat right now.

- I'll boil water. - Let me wash my hands.

I won't wait around.

I said I'd boil the water.

- Do it right away. Do not hesitate. - I'm on it.

Do not hesitate.

How many? How many should I make?

ASKING LIKE A MAN

- Shall we finish everything we have? - All of it?

Everything?

Three? Four?

Make four servings.

WHAT'S FOR DINNER?

You need to take off your jacket.

No, I told you that I'd do it right away.

- Let's just do it right now. - I told you I'd do it right now.

A MAN DOESN'T MIND ALL THAT

Turn the heat on.

- Open it right away. - Open it.

JJAJANG RAMYEON?

Yes, you have to open that.

Is the water boiling?

DESPITE GOING GROCERY SHOPPING, THEY ARE EATING RAMYEON

Okay, noodles in.

THE HUNGRY MEN CHOSE TO WHIP UP SOMETHING QUICK

THEY CAN'T EVEN WAIT FOR THE NOODLES TO LOOSEN UP

We forgot to make eggs.

- The pan is on standby. - I knew you wouldn't miss it.

- On standby? - Standby.

- We're eating two eggs each. - Two each.

- Do I mix in two packets of sauce? - Correct.

BO GUM JOINS THE KITCHEN TOO

I guess you don't have to cook it. Maybe we can eat it right away.

COOKING ALL 6 EGGS AT ONCE

- I'll break the yolks. - Break them all.

Break them like a man.

- I'll break the yolks. - Break them all.

Break them like a man.

THIS IS TOO FUNNY

Look how fast he's moving.

HANDS QUICKENING WITH HUNGER

He's using both hands.

That's awesome.

You have...

- I'm doing this right away. - You have awakened.

COOKING WITH BOTH HANDS

You're on fire.

Should I put the noodles here?

- Give him a moment. - Hey, it looks so nice.

- How did you get this idea? - Hey!

DINNER BECAME READY IN JUST 5 MINUTES

Awesome.

- It's done. Eat. - Is it? Let's eat.

Just eat it.

Yes, just eat it.

Let me grab just these two.

- Thank you. - This looks insanely good.

- Let's enjoy. - Thanks.

ABOUT TO EAT

Thanks for waiting.

- I think it'll spatter. - I have a feeling too.

THE TWO MEN ARE SCARED THEY'LL STAIN THEIR WHITE SHIRTS

They're both hilarious.

Thanks for dinner.

- Thank you for dinner, Dong-yeon. - Let's dig in.

CHUCKLING

HAPPY

EVERYTHING TASTES GREAT WHEN YOU'RE STARVING

THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

DEVOURING

Help yourself. It's good.

This is good.

EVERYONE IS OUT OF ENERGY

THE HOUSE IS FILLED ONLY WITH SLURPING NOISES

We did this at lunch

so let's play the same game again.

What about the speed?

Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors.

- Pull one out! - Pull one out!

DETERMINED

- Rock, paper, scissors. - Rock, paper, scissors.

- Pull one out! - Pull one out!

WHAT A RELIEF

- Rock, paper, scissors. - Rock, paper, scissors.

- Pull one out! - Pull one out!

- Pull one out! - Pull one out!

BOSS PARK DOESN'T HAVE TO DO THE DISHES

YOU STARTLED ME

HAPPY

CELEBRATING HIS VICTORY

WHAT'S WITH THAT GUY?

EVEN BOSS PARK, WHO ALWAYS TOOK THE LEAD

HAS GONE BROKEN TODAY

GO TO SLEEP ALREADY

THE MORNING CAME AS ALWAYS

THE VILLAGE TURNED WHITE LIKE MAGIC AFTER THE SNOW LAST NIGHT

CURRENT TIME 7:30 A.M.

DONG-YEON WAKES UP FIRST

WADDLING

THE SUN IS UP AGAIN

HE'S STILL NOT USED TO GETTING UP THIS EARLY

EVEN ON DAY 5 OF THEIR BUSINESS

BO GUM IS UP TOO

A MORNING GREETING

IMMEDIATELY SITS ON THE COUCH AS SOON AS HE GETS UP

RUBBING EYES

HE RECHARGES HIS ENERGY ON THE COUCH

THEN SPRINGS UP

I NEED TO WASH UP

ANYWAY

SANG-YI'S ROOM

HE'S USUALLY THE FIRST TO WAKE UP BUT ISN'T UP YET TODAY

ONE HOUR BEFORE THEY OPEN, 8 A.M.

HE SHOULD BE GETTING UP BY NOW

Dong-yeon.

KNOCKING

Yes?

Should we wake him up?

THEY DECIDE TO WAKE HIM UP

SURPRISED

SANG-YI IS FINALLY UP

BLOATED

SANG-YI HAD SLEPT SO WELL AFTER DAYS OF FATIGUE

BO GUM AND DONG-YEON ARE READY TO GO TO WORK

Do you think it'll be cold today?

It's a bit chilly today, Sang-yi.

I need long johns.

SANG-YI GETS READY TO GO AFTER PUTTING ON LONG JOHNS

- Ready to go? - Ready to go.

Let's go.

THEY WALK QUICKLY BEFORE THEY GET THERE TOO LATE

There are no clouds.

Not a cloud in the sky.

That kind of day.

GETTING USED TO THEIR WAY TO WORK ON THEIR 5TH DAY

Should we pour calcium chloride here?

- I think we should. - Right?

It snowed a lot more than I expected.

WORRIED ABOUT THE FROZEN ROAD

MS. JEONG-JA'S HOUSE

Hello, Ms. Jeong-ja.

SAYING HI TO THEIR NEIGHBOR

We are here.

GREETING THEIR NEIGHBOR MS. JEONG-JA

ARRIVED AT THE BARBERSHOP

- It's a bit chilly today. - Yes, it's kind of cold.

- What's that? - What?

-There's something. - Why?

SOMETHING'S ON THE DOOR?

- What's that? - What?

-There's something. - Why?

- What is this? - What is it?

What is it?

WHAT'S THIS?

Let's go inside and check.

Someone left something that looks like a note.

- Is it from the kids? - Seon-hui?

A MYSTERIOUS ITEM

It's warm.

- Should we let in some air? - Sounds great.

WHAT'S THE STRANGE THING HUNG UP ON THE DOOR?

What is it?

Did someone leave something?

- What is it? - Who's So-dam?

- What? - The little kid.

"Thank you for the delicious fish-shaped buns. From So-dam."

- My gosh. - Hey.

- Try some first. - Thank you.

A NOTE FROM THE LITTLE CUSTOMERS WHO CAME ON THE BUN DAY

Yes, So-dam and So-bin.

HE REMEMBERS THE SHORT ENCOUNTER

- So-dam. - That's so cute.

THANK YOU FOR THE DELICIOUS FISH-SHAPED BUNS

This is so touching.

MOVED

You must've seemed like flowers to her.

You should feel proud, Dong-yeon.

- Why are they doing this? - It must've been good

if she came back with that note.

- It was good. - She even drew something.

It really was. I'm not joking.

- This is so... - Shall we get to work?

LOOKING AROUND

This is perfect.

Nice.

CAUTIOUSLY

HE LEFT THE NOTES ON THE BEST SPOT IN THE KITCHEN

These are so cute.

THANK YOU FOR THE DELICIOUS BUNS FROM SO-BIN AND SO-DAM

Shall we get ready to open?

SHOVELING SNOW FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS

WORKING HARD

I can't do this all. I'll just create a path.

HE QUICKLY DECIDES TO JUST MAKE A PATH

HUFFING

AT THE SAME HOUR

SOMEONE HUFFS AND PUFFS IN THE QUIET VILLAGE

Gosh, my back.

TANGERINE ROLLING AWAY

SHE CONTINUES TO MARCH FORWARD WITHOUT NOTICING THE FRUIT

Goodness, I lost one.

MY TANGERINE!

PICKING UP HER TANGERINE

- Are you going somewhere? - No.

Just over there.

SHE PICKS UP THE TANGERINE AND HEADS SOMEWHERE

Are you open?

Are you open?

MS. RA OK-JA VISITS THE BARBERSHOP

- Ms. Ra. - Hey.

- You're here so early. - I am.

Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, no, Ms. Ra.

- Hey, have you been well? - Come on in.

- Come in. - Okay.

Okay.

Have you had breakfast?

- Of course, I ate. - You did?

Yes, I always eat at 8:30 a.m.

Hello.

Hey.

All the snow has melted on the way here from my house.

- Where were you headed? - I was coming here!

Here? Why? To do your hair?

- Well, this and that. - This and that?

- I wanted my nails done too. - Pardon?

- I need my nails done again. - Your nails?

It's all gone already. Look.

THE BLUE COLORS ARE ALL GONE

- Look. - Today...

When I went out that day, I lost yet another one.

I used something else in case it would get too hard

for you to take it off, but today

I'll use something that'll stay stuck for good.

Yes, make them stay.

- I brought these for you. - They'll all stay.

- You didn't have to. - I even shared that cake

with people at the community center.

I didn't have a lot, so I got a little more

and brought some here for you.

THE SAME CONTAINER THEY GAVE THE CAKE IN

SHE WAS SO GRATEFUL AND DECIDED TO FILL IT WITH FRUIT

- Was it good? - Yes, I left some on a dish.

Dong-yeon, she loved the cake.

- Ma'am, was it good? - Yes.

FEELING PROUD

- I brought this for you. - You didn't have to do this!

I'm glad I can give this to you. Have some.

- There. - Thank you.

She brought three because there are three of us.

- It's perfect. Thank you. - Thank you.

SHE BROUGHT FRUITS FOR THEM AS A HEARTWARMING PRESENT

THE TRIO ALREADY FEELS REFRESHED WITH THE NOTE AND THE FRUIT

- Try some. - It's perfect.

- Thank you. - Sure.

- What's this? - For my studies.

- For your studies? - I've been learning.

Have you reviewed these?

Back then... May I see them?

I've been studying both English and the Korean language.

- You showed me this before. - That I did.

I've been trying hard, but I still couldn't do it.

I have my English notebook there.

HER WRITING IS STILL ROUGH, BUT SHE DOES NOT SKIP A DAY

I am Ra Ok-ja.

That's my name.

THE 92-YEAR-OLD STUDENT IS A FERVENT STUDENT

You're learning English and Korean?

Yes, and things became so hard after double consonants appeared.

When I started double consonants, it became much harder than math.

So I've been studying even harder.

Well, then.

Are you

busy today?

Why would I be busy? I'm always free.

- Then today, - I'm always free.

you can learn to write from me.

Yes, that's why I brought these to learn double consonants.

I'll learn those once I'm in fifth and sixth grade.

MEANWHILE, BO GUM GOES THROUGH THE STORAGE

- Then... - You can take this back, ma'am.

- Take what? - Good.

- The container? - Yes.

- He brought it back. - Is that for me?

Do you like chocolate?

Of course, I do.

There are all kinds of them here.

Do you also like candy?

CANDY?

- Is it okay for your teeth? - I don't really like candy.

I'm afraid it'll hurt your teeth.

OH, MY

This is scorched rice-flavor.

Well, I like that one. It tastes nice.

I like how nutty and toasty they taste.

- She approves of scorched rice. - I like how toasty it tastes.

It's not that big, though.

I'M GLAD

- This way, please. - Okay.

- Let's take a quiz here. - Yes, let's do a quiz.

LET'S GO STUDY

Now...

I'll be your teacher.

- A winter school teacher. - Okay, be my winter school teacher.

I'll be your winter school teacher.

The teacher at my school

helps me sharpen my pencil and gives me notebooks, too.

You can go back to that teacher once your semester begins.

But I can be your teacher during your winter break.

Let me spell out the double consonants for you.

STUDYING DOUBLE CONSONANTS

The double consonants?

HESITATES

Is it jajangmyeon or jjajangmyeon?

I HAVE NO IDEA

THE UNLICENSED TEACHER IS ALREADY STALLING

No, not that. Okay.

How about jjajeung, which means annoyed?

- Jjajeung? - When you're annoyed.

Jjajeung.

Jjajeung. Double for jja.

Jjajeung.

That's it. Double J.

All right.

CORRECT!

Try to finish the word, jeung.

-Jeung? -Jeung.

That only has one J.

- Exactly. - No, this isn't it.

No, that's not it. Erase it.

That's the word for "annoyed." Jjajeung.

Jeung. Yes.

- That was close. - Jjajin?

- That was close. - Jjajin?

Here's how you write it.

- You've got this right. - Yes.

Jeung has the sound "eu" in it.

- Jjajeung. - Jeung.

Start with J.

- Add eu. - I see.

- Lastly, the circle. - Here?

- Jjajeung. - Jjajeung. Yes.

I can do that much.

I already know this

but the one with these two consonants is really hard.

- The ending consonants? - Yes, when they're doubled.

That's really hard.

They can be doubled both on the top and the bottom

so it's confusing, right?

It's so confusing.

IN THAT CASE

Poop. Ddong.

Can you write ddong?

DDONG?

Can you write ddong?

TEACHER SANG-YI DIDN'T GET IT

Ddong.

Ddong means poop.

FOR NOW, SHE WRITES THE ANSWER JUST AS SHE'S TOLD

That's it. You write double consonants up there.

- You're so right. - Ddong.

Okay, then.

WAIT A SECOND

I know this already.

I know single consonants at the bottom.

Single consonants? So you find final consonants hard.

Instead of the same consonant at the top

it's harder when there are two consonants at the bottom.

- When they're mixed? - Yes, the mixed ones are hard.

WHAT SHE WANTS TO LEARN: DOUBLE FINAL CONSONANTS

First of all, open up.

I GOT IT, SO LET'S MAKE UP WITH A BITE OF GRAPE

I got it. It's not this.

You find these double final consonants hard, right?

One, two, three, four, five, six

seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen.

There are 13 of these

- so let's tackle just 3 today. - Sure.

Let's start with the easier one.

Write down the word for "a lot."

- "A lot"? - Yes.

When there's a lot of rice or a lot of food.

Yes, that's it. You know this one.

- I have to keep writing. - The second one.

You're not standing right now, but sitting. Correct?

- "To sit." - "To sit"?

Write down "to sit," like sitting on a chair

or sitting on the floor.

"To"...

It starts like that, and...

That's it!

This one goes here.

You already know this perfectly.

- Here's the last one. It's harder. - Okay.

It's mokt, the word you say when you want your share.

Give me my share.

Mokt?

How do I explain this?

This one has double consonants.

Double final consonants.

Start with M.

HESITANT

FOCUSED

It sounds like "moks."

This is only one syllable.

It's not "to share."

This isn't a verb, but a noun, so it's a word by itself.

So all you need is this one.

Mokt. You can erase that.

You're doing this so well.

Gosh, whatever.

No one there is as old as I am. They're all in their 70s.

I'll die when it's my time. It's not up to me to live or die.

But you know what? You're so young at heart, though.

Package delivery.

- In the fridge, - Yes?

- you'll find some green onions. - Package delivery.

Green onion, minced garlic...

Someone's here.

WE HAVE DELIVERY?

Minced garlic...

DID WE ORDER SOMETHING?

Someone's here.

Ms. Ra, can you stay here for a second?

Hey, someone's here.

- Hey, someone's here. - He rode that here.

WHAT PACKAGE ARE WE GETTING?

MY GOODNESS!

- Package delivery. - What?

Is he a senior actor?

A DELIVERYMAN SUSPICIOUSLY LURKING AROUND THE DOOR

A SUSPICIOUS OUTSIDER SUDDENLY APPEARED FROM EARLY MORNING

A MAN IN BLACK

Nice wind today.

RACING ACROSS THE VILLAGE ON THE QUADRICYCLE

HIS SILHOUETTE SEEMS SUSPICIOUS

AND HE HAS A HUGE CHUNK IN THE BACK

THIS DELIVERY MAN IS HEADED STRAIGHT TO THE BARBERSHOP

Where are they?

Man, it's so cold.

WHO'S THIS MAN WHO CAME TO THE BARBERSHOP DESPITE THE COLD?

Package delivery.

Package delivery.

Is he a senior actor?

Is he a senior actor?

At first, I saw someone driving over in sunglasses.

I thought he was the village chief.

Package delivery.

Is he a senior actor?

TODAY'S PART-TIMER: RAIN

Sang-yi.

Hello, RAIN.

- One second, Ms. Ra. - One second.

- My gosh, hello. - Hey, BO GUM.

Nice to meet you.

Wait, what brings you here?

Hello!

One second, Ms. Ra.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

SANG-YI IS IN SHOCK

- Sang-yi. - RAIN.

- What's going on? - RAIN!

Wait, why's a world star...

I heard you guys were struggling.

I was surprised.

I'm such a big fan.

HE'S BEEN A FAN FOR OVER 20 YEARS SINCE HIS MIDDLE SCHOOL DAYS

THEY WENT TO THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL AND RECENTLY FILMED A DRAMA TOGETHER

I was very happy.

MY BIAS IS MY PART-TIMER

- Wait, why's a world star... - I heard you guys were struggling.

- Hold on. - Hey, look at this cut.

FIRST, LOOK WHAT I BROUGHT

- Hold on. - Hey, look at this cut.

- What's this? - My gosh.

- Wait, RAIN. - I came to show you this.

Are you serious?

- Can you take this? - Wait, I'm getting goosebumps.

You must handle the meat carefully.

One second.

How can I...

SANG-YI IS STILL DAZED

- I can't believe it. - Wait, RAIN.

- Yes? Let's go in first. - What brings you to Muju?

- Let's go. - Let's go inside.

- Let's go. - Let's go inside.

This is so weird.

- What is going on? - It's so cold today.

A guest just came.

GASP!

- My gosh. Hello. - Hello.

- Have a seat. - Ma'am.

- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.

- I came to work. - Yes, good luck.

- You should take a rest. - Okay.

Wait, weren't you overseas?

I came to do this.

I came to cook for you.

- My gosh. I can't believe this. - Go on in.

Goodness.

- Hello. - You can go back.

- I'm so surprised. - Why?

Is it everyone's first time meeting him?

- Really. - I already feel reassured.

- I mean, he's a world-renowned star. - Cut it out.

- Wait, I... - We should go there first.

- Yes, let's go. - Over there.

- Do you want to sit? - Sure.

- This is so odd. - Wait.

- He's a world star. - What did he bring?

- Is that for us to eat? - For us?

Are those ribs?

He came with ribs.

- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.

- I'm studying. - I see.

I finished fourth grade at home.

- Have a seat, RAIN. - I'm fine. I came to work.

- My gosh. It's unbelievable. - I came as a part-timer.

RAIN

My goodness.

How long have you been here for?

It's probably the sixth day.

Six or seven days.

- Really? - Yes, we've been doing it.

Back when BO GUM was in the army

- he had obtained the license. - I heard that.

I've been doing people's nails, and Dong-yeon has been cooking.

I think I can do the shampoo today.

I can do that.

THAT'S MY MAN

- Ma'am, do you live far from here? - What?

If it's inconvenient for you to walk, I came with something.

It's a really nice ride.

- He brought an awesome ride. - What?

- I never walk, so I have to. - Come on!

- I never walk! - You'll never see me again, then.

- Fine. - Let me give you a lift.

- That'd be even better. - Okay.

Anyway, ma'am.

Look at your hair. Did you get it done here?

Yes, of course.

She got her nails done here, too.

She's the eldest person in the village.

- It's been a little over a month. - She's in her 90s.

She's 92.

- Gosh. - She's really healthy.

I still walk around just fine.

Your teeth look stronger than mine right now.

These are dentures.

- Are those dentures? You tricked me. - Of course, they are.

- I've had them for a long time. - I knew they were too clean.

They're fake.

No wonder your teeth look like you're in your 20s.

So is your hair.

PLEASED

Take a seat.

- Thanks. - Goodness.

You've never worked with him before?

No, I haven't

but ten years ago, we met at the LACMA event in LA.

- Oh, right! We've met. - Yes.

But we never ran into each other again after that.

That's true.

Sang-yi actually told me about you.

- About what? - As we were filming "Good Boy"

- he was filming "Bloodhounds 2" too. - Right.

He's always been a huge fan

so he was so excited about seeing you there.

I'm so thankful, though.

He was so considerate that the acting went well.

He even danced to Rainism on the filming set.

BOSS PARK REMEMBERS EVERYTHING

We had fun together.

PROUD

Now that we're done studying, let's paint your nails now.

- Sure. - Shall we go, ma'am?

- He's my assistant. - What?

- We're going to keep titles casual. - Sure.

What should we call him?

- Mr. Jung? - Mr. Jung.

- No, not that, he's an intern. - Right.

Yes, call me the intern.

- Don't worry. - You're as big as a mountain.

- No. - He is.

- You're so big. - To exaggerate a bit

you look like you walk with your shoulders.

- In a bit... He's our assistant. - I'll let him do it.

THE TRIO IS EXCITED TO HAVE A BIG PART-TIMER

I came here today to be your mountain.

So, don't hold back. Tell me anything you need.

- You're so cool. - I'm serious.

- I feel so assured. - But you're a global star.

What are you talking about?

COMING SOON

- Didn't we have a good time earlier? - Sorry?

- We got along so well earlier. - Right.

I think I got tricked into coming here.

This is not what I signed up for.

I think you did the most number of chores.

I've only been here five hours, but it feels like five days.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ENERGETIC PART-TIMER?

- Hello. - Hello.

JUST THEN, THE FIRST CUSTOMER ENTERS

HESITATING

I got it.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK THIS PART-TIMER TO TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMER

One second, I'll hang up your jacket first.

How would you like your hair done?

I actually brought a photo.

You're the first customer to ever bring a photo.

The thing is...

Do you think you can do this?

A HAIRSTYLE RECOMMENDED BY HIS GIRLFRIEND?

- Aren't you? - I am.

- You're the oldest son, right? - Yes.

I knew it when you took your jacket off.

- I had my hat on, right? - I couldn't tell.

Do you trust me?

Of course, I do.

- I'll start. - Okay.

HIS CURRENT HAIRSTYLE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THE PHOTO

CAN BOSS PARK TRANSFORM HIM?

Do you mind if I ask how long you've been dating?

Tomorrow marks the 80th day.

- Eighty days? - Yes.

THEY HAVEN'T BEEN DATING LONG

So like three months?

- Right. - And you both live in Muju?

- No? - She lives in another area.

- Another area? - Yes.

A friend of mine introduced us.

- I turned it down at first. - Okay.

But my friend came over

grabbed my phone and called her for me.

That's how we started talking

and ended up dating.

It's so weird seeing you clean this place.

Not at all.

I'll mop there later since you're cutting.

This is so wild.

THEN, ANOTHER CUSTOMER APPROACHES THE BARBERSHOP

- Hello. - Hello.

- Are you here for your hair? - Yes.

Welcome.

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

If you're bored, can I give you a hand massage?

- That sounds nice. - Is that okay?

- Of course. - Got it.

- Then... - Do we have lotion?

- We've got hand lotion here. - Really?

Yes, put it here.

Your hands are so smooth.

You don't have any calluses.

- Anybody under 80 is still young. - Under 80?

- Yes, under 80 is young. - I'm almost 80, though.

Still, you're in your 70s.

We're almost 20 years apart. That's very young.

Like this...

That feels good.

- Right, ma'am? - Yes.

This is the first time in my life.

- What is? - Getting this.

- A hand massage? - Yes.

First time in my whole life.

So, you've never been to Seoul?

Who says I haven't?

- I went there all the time. - When?

I know you, don't I?

- Me? Oh, you mean Hyeon-seok. - I know you.

I recognized you.

SHE RECOGNIZED HYEON-SEOK

I thought you were married. You haven't yet?

You should get married now.

- I will once my hair looks good. - What?

Once my hair looks good.

- After the haircut? - Yes.

This year...

You should get married.

A WORD OF ADVICE WITH A MOTHERLY HEART

Everyone knows you, so I bet they often tell you to get married.

All the time.

Even when I get a girlfriend

I can't really tell people.

- That you have one? - Yes.

If I do, they start asking

when the wedding will be.

- It gives me a headache. - Do you mind

if I share this with my team?

- With Dong-yeon? - I don't mind.

It's been 80 days with his girlfriend.

Boss PARK.

Do your absolute best.

- Whatever it takes. - Okay.

You have to make me look nice.

You must be thinking of getting married little by little.

I am.

My girlfriend too.

- She is? - Yes.

We're doing well.

Marriage does seem hard, though.

I honestly wanted to get married early.

- But it's easier said than done. - It is.

You live with your spouse for life.

You have to find the right one.

TWO BACHELORS ARE BONDING OVER THE TALK OF MARRIAGE

We need to hear some good news.

He's carving that line clean.

You look super clean in the back.

I've got to look good to see my girlfriend.

- You're seeing who? - My girlfriend.

- Your girlfriend? - Yes.

- My girlfriend. - Your girlfriend?

When? Today?

WHAT DID HE SAY?

- So, you've got a girlfriend, huh? - Oh, no.

- So, you've got a girlfriend, huh? - Oh, no.

- Did I turn it into gossip? - Too late.

OOPS

- So, you've got a girlfriend, huh? - Oh, no!

- Did I turn it into gossip? - Too late.

That's why you're getting a haircut!

You can't tell anyone.

- Don't tell anyone, ma'am. - Why would I?

Wait, isn't this exactly the kind of thing I should tell?

- Why would you? - It's good news.

- Still... - Ma'am, these days...

if word gets out too soon

- That's a problem. - things end up falling apart.

You really think so?

Whether it's dating or a business

or even a movie...

Even with movies, they all flop when I say they're good.

Really? I've never heard that.

SHARES HIS STORY TO LIGHTEN UP THE MOOD

- You look a lot like your mother. - Do you know his mother as well?

Hyeon-seok ought to get married soon.

He doesn't want to tell anyone, but we'll all be happy for him.

Good news should be shared.

SATISFIED

AND HE CONTINUES MAKING THEM

- I told him to come again. - Put your hand in, please.

Oh, right.

You know, when I went to move the fertilizer sacks

you said the greenhouse was torn and needed fixing.

Any other work that needs to be done or anything that needs moving?

- There's a hole in the greenhouse. - The greenhouse?

- That should be a quick fix. - Come by sometime later.

- I'll come later. - Yes.

- It'll only take an hour. - Exactly.

- I just need to patch the tear. - That's right.

- Since we're talking about it, - Yes.

can I just go take care of it today?

- It's better to fix it quickly. - Right.

- Do it whenever you have time. - Okay.

Somebody has to hold it.

Is it better if two people do it? Would it be hard to do it alone?

Yes, one person has to hold it and stretch it out.

- Got it. - You need one more guy.

- I'll come with a friend. - Okay.

THIS VERY FRIEND

- It'll only take an hour. - Yes.

- It won't take long. - It won't.

Well, these people asked if they could do anything for me.

They even moved the fertilizer sacks.

- He looks strong. - I moved them by myself.

Okay, all done.

Still...

He said I followed along pretty well.

Ma'am!

- You've got to take these with you. - What?

Take these with you.

Okay, I will.

I told you that I'd pack you some fish-shaped buns.

That's what I was working on.

- Yes, okay. - I need to give you these.

- You need fish-shaped buns, right? - I'll just take four.

I didn't bring any money. I'll pay you this evening.

Come on.

I only eat two a day. Just give me one or two.

Do you like your nails?

- Good job. - I told them I studied, too.

Here, put this in her bag.

MAKING SURE SHE LEAVES WITH FISH-SHAPED BUNS

Something came up where we need your help.

What is it?

We have to fix the plastic on a greenhouse.

Let's get going. Wait.

- Let's go once that's done. - I need to clean up.

ANOTHER JOB APPEARS AFTER MAKING BUNS

There's more to do than I thought.

People always start pouring in once we eat lunch.

EXPERIENCING HOW TOUGH RUNNING A BUSINESS IS

I'm fine. Let's go.

A lot of it has melted, though.

It's still there where there's shade.

WHAT KIND OF JOB NEEDS TWO PEOPLE?

- It's delicious. - Isn't it good?

You've waited long.

Thank you for waiting.

Bring her by, I'll buy you delicious food.

SERIOUS ABOUT MARRYING HIM OFF

- Okay? - Okay.

It's all good things for you from here on out.

Your parents would be the happiest of all.

- Keep it a secret. - What?

- A secret? Why? - For now.

Have there been women you dated and broke up with before?

No, it's not that.

It's just that this is my first time dating someone seriously.

People you meet in the most unexpected ways are

- the ones that last the longest. - Right.

Not speaking from experience, though.

THEIR SERIOUS CONVERSATION CONTINUES

While I was the head of the Women's Society

I set up eight couples.

How did you manage that?

You must have been really good at connecting people.

Every couple I've matched is living well.

You must have had a good eye for people.

I was going to find a nice girl for Hyeon-seok

but it's great news

that he has a girlfriend now.

- Still, - He's diligent.

it's early on.

Let's keep it just between us.

LAUGHING

Sure.

Like RAIN said earlier

when something's just starting out

- and word about it spreads... - Right.

- In due time. - Exactly.

- Things will work out. - Indeed.

It's our big mission.

BO GUM ASKS HER NOT TO SPREAD RUMORS

The plastic on her greenhouse got torn a little.

I see.

- It won't take long. - Okay.

- This is it. - You have a nice house.

- It gets a lot of sun. - It gets a lot of sun.

- What should we do? This part? - Hold on.

I need to take my jacket off.

- Ma'am, just tell us what to do. - What?

No, I have to find the plastic sheet.

Really?

SHE THROWS OFF HER SCARF

Really?

TAKING OFF HER COAT WITHOUT HESITATION

I've got to get the plastic.

- Put it down here. - Okay.

I've been around Ms. Ra a few times now

- and she's very proactive. - Is that so?

- She's like me, then. - Yes.

She's very independent.

How did it get torn in the first place?

It got old and worn out.

- Really? - It wears out.

Once too much time passes.

The sunlight wore it down, and it tore.

- Over there. - Oh, this.

There was a small one.

Wait, where exactly is it torn?

Is this the one?

I think she means this.

- Right? - This must be it.

- That one. - This one?

- It's torn. - It tore.

THERE'S A HOLE IN THE GREENHOUSE COVER

NO ROOM AT ALL TIGHT SQUEEZE

THE BIGGER PROBLEM IS THAT THE GREENHOUSE IS IN A CRAMPED SPACE

THIS REPAIR WILL BE WAY HARDER THAN EXPECTED

REALIZING

- Hold on. - How are we supposed to cover this?

This is my first time ever.

I've never repaired a greenhouse before.

Do we just lay it over the top?

Hold on. There's this part, too.

LAUGHING

We'll do whatever you tell us.

Grab this one.

- This one? - Grab the edge.

- And then? - One person will hold this.

- Hold it from this side. - Let me spread it out.

- I'll hold it. - Hold it here.

- Done. - Go that way.

- Over there? - Yes, over there.

IT'S SO LOW THAT HE CAN'T EVEN LIFT HIS HEAD

- A little further. - Further?

- Should I keep going? - Yes.

Sideways? Like this?

Is this the correct way?

Sideways?

HE DOESN'T GET IT EITHER

Like this?

How do we do this?

- It's pretty hard. - Do it this way.

- Go that way. - That way?

- That way? Okay. - To the other side.

Oh, like this.

- Hold it, RAIN! - Yes, hold on tight.

- You've got it? - Yes.

You just hold it so it doesn't move.

- Like this? - Yes.

- Hold one part here. - I got it.

- Don't let it move. - Okay.

Where's the sickle?

MS. RA HEADS OFF WITH A SICKLE

- There's a branch caught here. - What?

- The tree branch is caught. - Where?

Here.

I've got to cut that.

The grass grew up all over it.

- We should cut it all down. - I can cut it.

I got the sickle.

The grass grew all over it.

- Then... - The grass has grown a lot.

Oh, hold on.

LEANING

You're pushing it.

THE GREENHOUSE WOBBLES WITH HIM

You're pushing it. Be careful.

- Sang-yi. - Hold on, it's slippery.

Watch your hands.

- I'll... - I can just pull it out.

- I'll take care of it. - Leave it.

POWERFULLY SLICING IT

- Done. - Done.

THE OVERGROWN GRASS IS FINALLY GONE

Right here.

- I got it. - Hold on to it.

What was that?

DANGLING

What was that?

- Wait. - Hold on to it.

HE MIGHT TEAR THE GREENHOUSE DOWN

- Why is it so slippery? - Look over here.

Go like this.

- Like this. - There.

CAN'T SEE A THING WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON OVER THERE?

Up to here.

- Like this? - Hold it tight.

- She says to hold it tight! - I am.

Hold it tight, so it doesn't come over.

- She says to hold it even tighter! - Really tight.

Tighter.

- What? - Hold it in place.

- Hold it in place! - Just a second.

I got it.

FORTUNATELY, THE PLASTIC IS TIGHT

Why is it so damp?

Is there water dripping?

DRIPPING

EVEN HIS HAT IS GETTING WET

Is this okay?

It's so cold.

SUFFERING FROM THE WATER POOLING ON THE ROOF

CUTTING THE PLASTIC WITH HER SICKLE

There.

- How do we secure it? - We just...

I can tie it here.

- Oh, down below? - Yes.

- I got it now. - Do this and tie it.

It's easier to do it bare-handed, right?

Now, it won't move.

- Ma'am? - What happened to the plastic?

- Ma'am? - One second!

Okay, I thought you forgot about me.

Man, that's cold.

UNABLE TO STRAIGHTEN HIS BACK

This is...

It's way too cold.

It might fall over if I don't lean on it.

- I've got to cut that side as well. - Yes.

So we can tie it down.

I have to cut it first.

I brought the string.

- Pull it tight. - Okay.

- Pull it tight? - Yes.

Clinch it, and bring this over.

- Yes, like that. - Now, tie it?

- Yes, tie it there. - Okay.

Tie it here.

SIGHING

- Cut it with the sickle. - I stepped on it.

Cut it.

Cut it.

- Didn't we have a good time earlier? - Sorry?

- We got along so well earlier. - Right.

- Cut it. - Ma'am, hold on.

- One second. - Okay.

You're kind of scary when you work.

You're scary when you work.

Pull so it's nice and taut.

COVERING WITH MORE PLASTIC

It keeps flapping if you don't top it with the black sheet.

- The last strip. - Come further this way and lift.

- There. Give me a bit more plastic. - Is this it?

- Okay, done. Hold on tight. - Okay.

I NEED TO CUT THE PLASTIC

I don't have a sickle.

IT'S ON RAIN'S SIDE

USES HIS TEETH

LEE SANG-YI, THE TOUGH COUNTRYMAN

That will do.

THE 92-YEAR-OLD WORKED NONSTOP WITH THEM

When I'm tying this...

I can't do this with gloves on, so I just don't wear gloves.

- This is... - It's tough, isn't it?

- I'm done. - Okay.

TYING WITH ALL HIS MIGHT

Gosh, the wind...

- Oh, no. It's... - RAIN!

THE PLASTIC FLIPS

It keeps flapping if you don't top it

- with the black sheet. - The black thing holds it down.

LET'S GET THE SHADING NET ON FAST

See if it fits.

See if it fits. Is it big enough?

DUST FLYING EVERYWHERE

- Shall we get it on top? - Let's try.

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

GROANING

THIRD TIME LOSING HIS BALANCE JUST ON THIS SPOT

- It's slippery. - Move further to the side.

It's slippery. Watch your step.

- That's it. It's done. - Hang on. I think that's it.

It's done.

RAGGED BREATHS

MS. RA RUSHED OVER

The big one is somewhere here.

It was here somewhere.

Where did it go?

Let's see. Oh, dear.

I should climb up and look down.

I need to see where it is.

MIRACULOUS CLIMBING SKILLS

I had a big one.

YOU'RE WATCHING A 92-YEAR-OLD CLIMB A WALL

Where did it go?

A REMARKABLE CORE STRENGTH

This is what I use for that other thing.

To prop up the chili peppers.

SUPPORTING HERSELF WITH ONE HAND

Is it back here?

Where is it?

I'm sure I have it. It should be somewhere.

Ma'am!

Where did it go?

What are you doing here?

I came to get the big one that I have somewhere here.

I can't seem to find it.

I don't know where it went.

- It's slippery. Watch out. - Okay.

STARTLED

HE CAN'T MOVE BECAUSE HE'S HOLDING IT

WATCHING IN AWE AT THE GRANNY'S IMMENSE CORE STRENGTH

It's somewhere here.

Use this.

- It looks new. Where is it? - You should use that.

The nylon string from earlier.

It won't withstand the wind.

- This should work. - You can use that.

- Okay. One on that side, ma'am. - Tie this corner.

- Okay. - I'll tie that corner.

Aren't you glad you did this while we were here?

That's exactly why

I asked for help when he offered.

- Yes. - I need extra hands.

I wouldn't dare attempt it.

Good for you.

I've lived long enough to enjoy this comfort

when I had lots to do.

This is what keeps it in place.

- Okay, that's secured. - The wind is really strong.

It's nice and tight. We tied it down well.

GROAN

Gosh. That's done.

- It's done. - Good.

It's nice and firm now.

This will last long. Even over ten years.

- This is over 20 years old. - Good.

It'll last a long time if it's strong.

You did a good job.

It looks good.

GREENHOUSE REPAIRED

Ma'am. Do you have any other jobs for us?

No, everything's done. You did a huge job for me.

I'm so much at ease now without any worries.

Ma'am, I love your character.

- What? - With your sickle.

With my sickle and sunglasses?

I keep taking it off because I can't grip tightly.

- You saw for yourself. - Yes.

Gloves are slippery, so I have to take them off.

- We'll leave now. - Okay. Thank you.

Gosh, they did a great job.

GREATLY SATISFIED

Sang-yi, I suddenly got hungry.

- Let's go eat kimchi jjigae. - Okay.

- You've done nothing but work here. - Of course. I came here to work.

I came to help you guys.

GRINNING

Time for your scalp and hair now.

HOW WILL BOSS PARK'S FIRST HAIR TREATMENT GO?

CHECKING THE STATE OF HER SCALP

BOSS PARK'S TREATMENT REGIME 1. SCALP CARE

HE SCRUBS HER SCALP WITH A COTTON SWAB?

- Is that the hair treatment? - Yes, I'm working on the scalp.

I'm scrubbing off the dead skin cells.

It will help the skin breathe so you feel better.

That's what this does.

Does your scalp sting or hurt?

- No. - Is it okay?

- I'll wash your hair for you. - Okay.

WORKING WITHOUT BEING TOLD

Thanks, Mr. Dong-yeon.

A MASSAGE IS A MUST

BO GUM'S ABLE TO FOCUS ON THE HAIR TREATMENT

I almost fell asleep.

I think she needs about 15 minutes.

Boss PARK, will you do a bit more?

- Take this first. - Then...

Sounds good. All of you can have...

I kept you waiting.

- Thank you. - Would you like one?

- It's red ginseng. - Thank you.

Would you like one?

NOURISHING THEIR HAIR AND THEIR BODIES

It helps if you take it regularly.

I think he gave me one to do a good job as village chief.

It's to give you energy to enjoy every single day.

Can I put some product in your hair?

I'd like you to style it for me.

- Shall I? - I'd like to watch and copy it.

We found Muju's Matt Damon.

Mujj Damon.

There's something I want to do.

You know what it is, right?

You know what it is, right? The hairspray.

I knew you'd get it right away.

Spray it right on.

Oh, "cheap." I apologize.

STILL IN A DAZE AFTER THE HARD WORK

We can go now.

Are you really okay? I don't mind.

- Let me. - I'm sure you'll do fine.

- Ma'am, I'll take over from him. - Okay.

- Under there... - Are there towels in here?

- You can get them from here. - Okay.

BOSS PARK LEAVES IT TO THE PART-TIMER

TASK CHANGE FROM ERRANDS TO WASHING HAIR

CAN HE CHANNEL HIS PASSION INTO WASHING HER HAIR?

CHECKING THE WATER TEMPERATURE

CAREFULLY RUBBING IT INTO A LATHER

HE EVEN MOVES ABOUT

RUBBING HARD

- That feels nice. - Doesn't it feel good?

JUST TRUST ME AND RELAX

VERY RELAXED

THERE'S NOTHING HE CAN'T DO DID HE TAKE LESSONS?

BOSS PARK TAKES A BREAK THANKS TO THE PASSIONATE PART-TIMER

HE FILLS HIS HUNGRY STOMACH

AND SHAKES OUT THE CUTTING CAPE

WOW

RAIN is doing so well.

He has large hands.

He has broad shoulders. He's tall, too.

And he has a loud voice.

He's big in many ways.

- Is the temperature okay? - Yes.

SHE TRUSTS HIM WITH HER HAIR

KEEPING THE WATER FROM GETTING ON HER FACE

A NICE MASSAGE ON TOP OF IT

Gosh, that feels good.

SHE CAN'T HELP BUT COMMENT

No other hairdressers do it as well as you.

I'm really so grateful.

A THOROUGH FINISH

I'll help you sit up now.

BO GUM, I'm done. We should dry it next, right?

- Yes, thanks so much. - Not at all.

You did well, ma'am.

- How was that? Was it nice? - Yes.

SHAMPOO IS DONE

Did you stay standing? Doesn't your back hurt?

- It's been three hours... - Wait, I...

ACTUALLY I'M NOT FINE

Wait, I need to...

OH, DEAR

I did so much.

CHATTING, HAND MASSAGE, MAKING BUNS, GREENHOUSE REPAIR, WASHING HAIR

TAKE A BREAK FOR A BIT

CHECKING IF THE TREATMENT WORKED

Do you want to feel your hair, ma'am?

TOUCHING

- It's smooth. - It's nice and smooth, right?

You did such a thorough job.

You cut my hair nicely, too.

It looks like I got a new perm.

Thank you for saying so.

I got spoiled here today.

THE TREATMENT BROUGHT HER CURLS TO LIFE

HE REVIVES THE FRONT CURLS AS HE DRIES HER HAIR

Wait, my gloves. Let's go.

LOOKING FOR HIS GLOVES?

If you want to eat first...

You've got two strong young men.

WHAT WILL THE TWO STRONG MEN DO?

- Where is... - It's right here.

- Here? - Yes.

- It's right here. - Oh, this one?

Are you throwing this away?

Where do we take it? To a car?

Put it in a truck and take it over there.

Can we bring the truck over here?

Bring it here.

- I'll do that. - Then you...

- I'll drive. - Aren't you the best driver?

I am.

Do you have a type two license?

Yes.

- I have a type one. - Then you drive.

- I have a type one. - Then you drive.

A type two auto license.

I got the manual license!

Why? Do I look less manly now?

PROUD AND DIGNIFIED

Let's hurry.

RUNNING TOWARD THE TRUCK

We must hurry, then get back for lunch.

We must hurry, then get back for lunch.

HUNGRY SANG-YI WANTS TO FINISH THE TASK QUICKLY

MANUAL DRIVER SANG-YI BRINGS THE TRUCK OVER

THE TRUCK STALLS

It's hard to drive again after such a long time.

He stalled the engine.

LAUGHING

A MOCKING SNORT

He said he was a good driver.

CHUCKLING

Hey, you.

Sang-yi!

- Yes? - Try again.

- Shoot. - Hey.

- You said you have a type one. - RAIN!

But I do.

I haven't driven in a while and it's so confusing. Hang on.

Put it back in neutral first.

FLUSTERED

HE BRAGGED ABOUT HIS TYPE 1 LICENSE

Hey, you...

You can pass by, ma'am.

- I got it. - Wait a moment.

Take your time.

Hello.

Hello.

- Oh, it's you. - Hello.

- Drive on. - I'll come see you later.

I'M OFF

He got it.

Drive backward slowly.

NOW HE MUST REVERSE

Why on earth...

Why won't the reverse gear work?

Can you do gears?

- What? - Do you have a type one license?

No.

DONG-YEON CAME TO SEE WHAT WAS TAKING SO LONG

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- Sang-yi, put it in neutral. - Put it in N.

- Put it in N. - Neutral.

- Did you do that? - It's in neutral now.

No, wait.

It's in neutral now.

No, wait.

LET'S DO THIS

Turn the wheel a bit.

Turn the wheel.

BECAUSE HE CAN'T REVERSE

No, wait.

THEY'RE PUSHING A 1,300KG TRUCK

MY GOODNESS!

FULL BODY POWER

USING ALL HIS STRENGTH AND MIGHT

GRUNT

I think I got tricked into coming here.

This wasn't the original plan.

SHE HURRIEDLY STOPS THEM

Are you... Can you drive this?

Hey, hang on. Wait.

Drive this for them. He's not that good at it.

Put that up there and help them out.

ASKING A PASSERBY FOR HELP

How do I put this in reverse?

You have to pull something on the gear stick.

- This way? - No, hang on.

- You're holding the gear stick. - Yes.

Pull that up, then do this and this.

Pull that up, then do this and this.

IT'S IN REVERSE GEAR AT LAST

This and this.

HE IS ENLIGHTENED

IT'S WORKING!

REVERSING WITHOUT A PROBLEM

Thanks so very much.

You can park right there, Sang-yi.

Okay.

Oh, this is how it works.

THEY MOVE THE WASHING MACHINE

Are you guys okay? Let's go, then.

Watch out. You go first.

STEPPING CAREFULLY

We got it.

BLESSED WITH EXTRA WORK THANKS TO THE SPECIAL PART-TIMER

STARING

DON'T MAKE ME PUSH THE TRUCK AGAIN

That was pretty thrilling.

MISSION COMPLETE

- Hey, let's go eat. - Let's have lunch.

That was the first time ever

that I stalled a car because I couldn't put it in reverse.

That was also my first time ever...

TO THINK THAT I PUSHED A TRUCK

- Thanks so much. - Sure.

- Ma'am. - You did so well.

- Thank you. - It's cold. Go inside.

- Thank you. - Go on home.

Let's see.

SIGH

HE BARELY GOT TO SIT DOWN

- Take a breather. - Thanks.

It's not easy.

We'll have lunch now.

Yes. Let's eat something.

THE DRAINED PART-TIMER DESPERATELY NEEDS FOOD

IN THE KITCHEN

CHEF KWAK QUICKLY PREPARES LUNCH

TODAY'S LUNCH: KIMCHI JJIGAE WITH SIRLOIN

THERE'S NO TIME TO DELAY

USING ALL OF MS. JEONG-JA'S KIMCHI

STIR-FRYING THE NICELY AGED KIMCHI

THE SIRLOIN IS TODAY'S KEY INGREDIENT

HIGH IN PROTEIN FOR THE PART-TIMER'S BENEFIT

ADDING LOTS OF IT TO CHEER UP THE PART-TIMER

THE POT IS FULL EVEN ONLY WITH KIMCHI AND MEAT

ADDING THE BROTH

SOY SAUCE, CHILI PEPPER POWDER

A SPOONFUL OF KETCHUP IS DONG-YEON'S OWN RECIPE

AND LASTLY THE TOFU

THE LUNCH TO REVIVE THE TIRED PART-TIMER IS READY

Man, it tastes great.

The stew is great.

MAKING FRIED EGGS, A PERFECT MATCH WITH KIMCHI JJIGAE

That looks good.

By the way, while you were working

did you ever have time to eat? You didn't, did you?

It was always like this.

- Something came up at mealtime. - I knew it.

THEY'RE USED TO IT NOW

SHALL I SIT DOWN?

IT'S HIS FIRST ACTUAL BREAK

PEEKABOO

GROANING

Oh, dear.

- You've worked hard, RAIN. - Thanks.

ACHING ALL OVER

Gosh, my back...

My back hurts the most when I wash people's hair.

Yes.

HE LOOKS GAUNT AFTER JUST A FEW HOURS

- Today was a bit relaxing. - Totally.

- That was relaxing, right? - It was relaxing.

We fixed a greenhouse as soon as I got here

and then moved a washing machine.

This looks really good.

- Dong-yeon's a good cook. - Don't flatter me.

A MEATY KIMCHI JJIGAE FOR THE PART-TIMER

It looks great.

Eat all you can.

- Thank you. Let's eat. - Enjoy your meal.

We can chat at last. When you first arrived...

- We had to work right away. - Enjoy.

HUNGER MAKES HIM BRING THE RICE BOWL CLOSER TO HIS FACE

THEY INHALE THE FOOD WITHOUT TIME TO TALK

- Thank you so much. - It's delicious.

IT WAS A BUSY MORNING DUE TO FREQUENT OUTSIDE WORK

IMPRESSED BY THE SOUP

It's really so good.

THE SPICINESS MAKES HIM SWEAT

RECHARGING WITH ZERO TIME TO CHAT

Why is this so tasty?

- Do you like it? - Yes.

That's good to hear.

Why? Why is it good?

THE PART-TIMER LOVES IT

- The fruit preserves in the pantry. - Yes.

- He made them all. - That's crazy.

Ever since I was in high school

whenever I went on school camps or trips

I performed your dances all the time.

The remixed version of Bad Man and the music video version of I Do.

And the music video version of I Do.

I also did How to Run From the Sun, and I'm Coming.

17 YEARS AGO, SANG-YI UPLOADED A CLIP OF HIMSELF DANCING TO RAIN'S SONG

A TRUE FAN, HE MASTERED RAIN'S SONGS WHEN HE WAS STILL IN SCHOOL

- Rainism. - Sang-yi.

- And Sad Tango. - You know...

GIGGLING

Do you know the tango version of Bad Man?

- That was... - That's...

There's that, too, but he almost always dances to the remix.

There's a clean version of Rainism.

At the start of the second verse, it has to be the original.

- That has the better beat. - How do you know that?

You're a bit scary.

AN ENCYCLOPEDIA SPECIALIZING IN RAIN

GIGGLING

I entered an online competition

and won your tee as a prize and I was overjoyed.

But it smelled of nothing but fabric softener.

So I threw it away.

TRYING NOT TO LAUGH

I had to wash it before sending it out.

Should I give something drenched in my sweat?

HE HAS A POINT

That's enough, Sang-yi.

- Is it enough? - I'm more than happy.

THE LOVE OF A FAN MADE HIM HAPPY

How do you eat when you must lose weight?

We were discussing that.

I skip dinner only.

Isn't it better to skip breakfast and eat lunch and dinner?

No, I eat breakfast and lunch and skip dinner.

I don't pig out, but I eat lunch at around 2 or 3 p.m.

Then until 7 or 8 or maybe even 9 p.m., I don't...

- You don't get hungry? - No.

- Try this. - Thank you.

When you do feel hungry

do you drink a cup of milk or a protein shake?

I don't drink anything.

If I get too hungry on an empty stomach

I just drink hot water.

That helps stave off the feeling.

I noticed something.

You can't help but snack when you're here.

You just can't stop.

THE MAN WHO SAID HE DRANK HOT WATER ON AN EMPTY STOMACH TO LOSE WEIGHT

EATS SNACKS TO NO END

YUM

- It's a jolt. - Yes.

- What is that? - It's a jolt.

HOW DID HE END UP LOSING CONTROL?

THEY CLEARED THEIR PLATES AND HAD SOME FISH-SHAPED BUNS

TIME TO CLEAN UP AND PREPARE FOR THE AFTERNOON

- It's working. - Yes.

JUST THEN

Let's go see the uncles.

It's cold.

WHO ARE THESE KIDS HEADED TO THE BARBERSHOP?

- The ice here hasn't melted. - It happens. It's cold.

SEON-HUI, DA-IN, JI-HUI

Hello.

You're adorable.

Seon-hui and this girl are sisters.

Da-in's...

- Hello. - Hello.

WHO IS HE?

Girls, would you like a fish-shaped bun?

- Sounds good. - Sounds good.

Okay, then.

Fish-shaped buns!

They're so cute.

THE DAD OF TWO CAN'T HELP BUT SMILE

THEY MIGHT NOT KNOW WHO HE IS, BUT HE GOES TO MAKE SOME BUNS

Seon-hui, Ji-hui, and Da-in.

- Come over here. - Okay.

Snacks!

You guys.

Do you know a singer called RAIN?

He's RAIN.

Who is he?

RAIN?

A SINGER?

UNFAMILIAR TO THE GIRLS WHO WERE BORN IN 2015

WHO IS HE?

YOU STILL DON'T GET IT?

- We only know idol groups. - I don't know that song.

- You don't know it? - Even your favorite idol's songs...

Is it RAIN or V?

Oh, V is...

IT'S THAT GENERATION NOW

TO THE KIDS, HE'S THE FISH-SHAPED BUN MAKER

Don't you have homework to do?

- We do. - We do have homework.

Do it, then. What is it?

- It's English. - English?

- Yes. - Bring it to me.

- It's English. - English?

- Yes. - Bring it to me.

What is it? Let's see.

THE UNCLES WANT TO HELP

What do you have to do for homework?

- We must read this. - You must read it?

DA-IN'S HOMEWORK IS TO READ AN ENGLISH BOOK

"Come along. It's Auntie Do."

BO GUM READS THE BOOK FIRST

They just need to read this, and the homework's done?

- Yes. - Yes.

WHAT?

- We just listen and that's it. - You read it and that's it?

How do you prove you read the book?

HE'S CURIOUS

We leave it to our conscience.

HOW FASCINATING

It's up to their conscience?

I'll read one, and Dong-yeon will read the other.

- I'll start reading. - Okay.

"A Chair for My Mother."

"My mother works as a waitress in the Blue Tile Diner."

My mom works as a waitress.

FASCINATED

"He gives me a job, too."

He gives me work to do sometimes.

"Every time after school, sometimes I go to meet her there."

After school, I go there sometimes to meet Mom.

"I peeled all the onions for the onion soup."

"Every single shiny coin..."

The coins are shiny.

"...goes into the jar."

They went into the piggy bank.

Do you get what that means?

Yes.

So they made onion soup.

- What did you say they did? - They prepared the onions.

"She falls asleep while I count the money."

"Every day when my mother comes home from work..."

ENGLISH IN A SWEET VOICE

- Onion soup. Okay. - "When I finish..."

When I did that, Mom smiled at me.

"While I count the money out into piles."

Sometimes she just falls asleep.

THE STUDIOUS UNCLES EVEN CONSULT AI

What does that mean?

I MUST STAY AWAKE

I SHOULDN'T FALL ASLEEP

SHE TAKES OFF HER HAT

GLANCING

ALSO FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE

- What's up with you? - Like your grandma.

Get a hold of yourself.

Get a hold of yourself.

IN A HAZE

"Empties all her change..."

That's so touching.

SURE IT'S TOUCHING

- Do you get it? - Yes.

"When we can't get..."

- Okay, our chef... - Hooray.

- Fish-shaped buns. - Custard cream.

- Fish-shaped buns. - He made you custard cream buns.

- Please thank him. - Thank you.

- Eat all you want, kids. - Okay.

Thanks.

AFTER DOING THEIR HOMEWORK

What's your name, kid?

I'm Ji-hui.

Wait. The purpose of my visit...

I came to get a haircut.

- Da-in? - Yes.

- You came for a haircut? - Yes.

For real?

EYES POPPING OUT

UNEXPECTED ORDER FOR A HAIRCUT BY DA-IN FOR THE FIRST TIME

UNTIL NOW, DA-IN

PLAYED WITH THE UNCLES IN THE RECEPTION ROOM

OR VISITED WHEN SHE WAS PASSING BY

Good.

Da-in and Seon-hui, do you want your hair done, too?

- What? - Do you want your hair done?

HESITANT

DA-IN HAD BEEN OBSERVING

BOSS PARK'S HAIRCUTTING SKILLS

Miss, please take your seat.

SHE WILL PUT HER TRUST IN THEM TODAY

- Is the chair too high? - No.

TAKING EXTRA CARE OF THEIR REGULAR

Will you cut it into a bob?

I want it to be slightly longer than a bob.

About 7 to 8cm?

Okay, I get it. I'll see if I can...

I get to cut your hair at last.

- Finally. She's our VIP. - Yes.

- Da-in, do you have money to pay? - I do.

Put it on my tab.

Okay. You don't need money, Da-in.

- We won't take it. - Thank you.

The length right now...

THINKING CAREFULLY

HE'S BACK TO BEING THE THOUGHTFUL BOSS PARK

Look at the length right now.

It's this long.

If you cut this much off...

- About... - It'll be this long.

- Okay. That will do. - Is that okay?

I'll cut it right off for you.

A hair clipper?

BO GUM BRAVELY DECIDES

TO CHOP OFF HER HAIR WITH THE CLIPPERS

I've never been to a salon in my life.

- Really? - My mom always cut my hair for me.

Oh, really?

HER FIRST TIME LETTING SOMEONE ELSE CUT HER HAIR

TREMBLING WITH NERVES

FOCUSED

SHE CAN'T LOOK AWAY FROM THE UNFAMILIAR CLIPPERS

A MEANINGFUL AND IMPORTANT MOMENT TO 12-YEAR-OLD DA-IN

A 12-YEAR-OLD'S FIRST CLIPPER CUT

WILL IT BE A SUCCESS?

Wow, what's all this?

I think it weighs about 60 to 70kg.

I want to grill them amazingly.

I didn't know you liked cooking and were good at it.

Oh, my gosh!

- No... - This is an emergency.

Can we still eat it?

THE TRIO HAS BEEN WORKING HARD

We're closed today.

THEIR FIRST EVER DAY OFF
