Original subtitles

It's been exactly 100 days...

since I came here.

I won't be able to forget...

the happy memories...

and friends.

You're curious...

why I'm standing here, aren't you?

I'll tell you...

my story from here on.

[Episode 1] [Mermaid from the Stream]

The deep sea is full of creatures...

unknown to mankind.

But the most important thing is missing.

A male human I can fall in love with!

My name is Aileen.

I'm sure you're perplexed...

but I'm a mermaid.

[Aileen = 18th Mermaid]

I love human beings' smartphones.

Wherever Wi-Fi goes, Aileen goes.

They're waterproof these days.

My hobbies are...

celebrity filing...

on-line shopping, fashion item searching...

watching new dramas and movies...

and searching for the popular restaurants.

My gift is charging my phone and making full use of it.

But why am I in the Han River?

The hottest guy on earth.

I've had my eyes on him for 6 months.

Perfect face.

Perfect body.

That edible apple bottom.

I want to eat it.

We're on standby.

What the hell.

Hey!

She's ruining the mood.

Hey!

This is water parsley.

If it slipped your mind...

you can grab some at the Wonhyo Bridge Water Parsley Farm.

That tip will come in handy.

Now, let's...

start plating.

Sprinkle baked salt here.

Then put the fish on top.

That makes a perfect vacation dish...

Cut!

Where's the mat?

I'm sorry, but...

Don't you know the mat is one of the basics?

I'm sorry.

What should we do? We can't find a mat here.

Let's shoot again next time.

I can't let this go on air.

What should we do?

What now...

Wait a minute!

How's that?

Let's start all over again.

He's so hot.

Shi Kyung!

That butt!

What am I going to do?

Oh!

The chef can be scary.

He's usually quite caring.

But when it comes to work, he doesn’t like mistakes.

That's sexy!

He's perfect.

He's really popular.

Really?

I see.

Yeah.

It'd be awkward if I went back now.

Yeah, don't go.

Tuna?

Mr. Kwon!

[Squirm]

It's quite mushy.

It's so exciting!

Oh, yes!

She had to come now?

Shi Kyung!

Bye!

Mr. Kwon!

- Mr. Kwon! - Mr. Kwon!

Fantastic!

[Surplus House]

[Let's get a job, Lee Hyun Myung!] [Annual Income of $60,000!]

Vincent Van Gogh.

[Don't give up!]

[Become a human being this year!]

He was so immersed in painting...

he even cut his own ear off.

I used to be an art student...

crazy about drawing too.

But...

instead of cutting off my ear...

I broke my paintbrush.

Lee Hyun Myung.

[Job hunting for the 3rd Year]

I was meant to meet him.

[(Korean Name) Lee Hyun Myung]

I heard he can write 70 cover letters in one sitting.

Really?

I became immersed in bringing out the beauty within myself.

I'm confident of my aesthetic abilities.

But I went crazy for the beauty of nature and the mountains.

I'll become an elite who creates hybrids of nature and technology.

[Autobiography Expert Fabricator]

Autobiography Fabricator...

indeed.

I want a job so bad!

The witch from earlier today.

She's Yoon Jin Ah who brags about working for a major company.

Did you write many cover letters?

Mm-hmm.

Why's your hair wet?

You went to work like this?

The chef fell in the river and I saved him.

Why did you save him?

And why'd you rip your skirt?

What are you imagining?

You're so sexy.

Like a mermaid.

Geez.

The moving truck is coming early. I need to pack.

I already packed everything.

Please!

Happy?

Hey, guys!

Hurry on down!

What?

What?

What's wrong?

♪ Happy escape to you. ♪

♪ Happy escape to you. ♪

♪ Happy share house escape... ♪

♪ ...to you. ♪

Stop it!

Thanks, everyone.

I'll come hang out often.

Et, cetera...

I'll just omit you guys.

Ok, ok.

The ivy league law school graduate...

who ruined his life with video games.

Do Ji Yong.

Apparently, that's an ivy league brain.

The pretty boy with the cute face.

Big.

His real name is a secret.

The share house owner who turns the other cheek...

if anyone slaps him on the one cheek.

Lee Sun Kyu.

Ew...

Hey.

And you ask who this cynical face is?

I. Won't. Tell. You.

But you can look forward to who she is.

You're not going to take this?

No.

You can use it. It's all built-in.

It feels weird.

Like we're separating.

No way. I'll be right across the bridge.

You really don't want me to go tomorrow?

No, you don't need to come.

I have to go straight to work.

Then...

it's our last night here together.

No.

- Why not? - No.

Hi, Mr. Kwon!

How are you feeling?

Are you ok?

Who is it?

Yes.

Of course, I'm fine.

Who is it?

Yes.

Tomorrow?

Of course, I'll be there.

I'll bet...

$10 that they'll split.

Me too.

Me too.

Then it can't be a bet.

You bet that they won't split.

Ok...

I'll bet $10 that they won't split.

Stop it.

We can just call off the bet.

Yeah?

Cheers for that couple's future!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Cheers!

Was it a dream?

Hello.

They're all washed.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Bye.

This was in the pocket.

My pocket?

Yes, it seemed valuable so I brought it.

Bye.

[Scale Fell Off]

I can't figure it out.

Yes!

This...

isn't invasion of privacy.

I'm gaining info to find the owner of the cell phone.

Sorry, Shi Kyung.

He's so hot!

Oh, my God!

What? This is me!

He's looking for me!

OMG!

Party invitation?

Summer MAMA's party!

International DJ Fenner and magician Chef Kwon meet!

The best performances and the best dishes!

The best celebrity party with fantastic food!

Summer MAMA's party!

Follow me.

Follow me?

I just need this invitation.

I can't go like this!

Ok. That's it.

Sevlyn!

The 17th mermaid, Sevlyn.

She went to study in Russia and came back as a wine drunkard.

What the f...

She curses like a sailor too.

This isn't what I wanted!

Russian liquor is the best.

How on earth do they make it?

Arigato, Russianski.

What?

Help me, Sevlyn.

What now?

Tell me how to become human.

You told me your friend...

Prilly became a human being.

Who?

What the heck are you saying?

Come on! You were bragging, "You know what this is?"

You know what this is?

Prilly gave it to me as a gift...

for telling her how to become human.

It's frigging good!

Is that what I said?

Let's die!

Let's die! Die, die!

Come on!

Just tell me.

Let me have just one date with the guy I love.

Huh?

Please.

Are you...

talking about that chef?

Why are you always...

talking about him 24/7?

I told you.

Humans and mermaids can't make it together.

No, he loves me too.

Look at this!

He's looking for me!

[It was love. I want to find her and my cell.]

So?

What will you do after becoming human?

You want a one-night stand with him?

Well...

Why not?

I love him.

No!

No, that's a no-no.

I feel drunk.

I better go sleep.

Ciao.

Wait! Wait!

I'll go buy Ballantine's 17 Year Old.

Never mind.

21 Year Old then!

Ok, 30 Year Old!

It's frigging expensive.

I'll sell all my pearls if I have to.

Tell me. Pretty please.

How can you become human?

Go find An Ma Nyeo.

The second mermaid who became human.

I heard the person lives in a boarding house near Cheonggye Stream.

Might be gone by now.

Ma Nyeo!

Ma Nyeo!

Ma Nyeo!

Ma Nyeo!

An Ma Nyeo!

Who are you?

Go find An Ma Nyeo.

The second mermaid who became human.

I heard the person lives in a boarding house near Cheonggye Stream.

Might be gone by now.

Ma Nyeo!

Ma Nyeo!

Ma Nyeo!

Ma Nyeo!

An Ma Nyeo!

Who are you?

What the...?

It was a guy?

And his name is Ma Nyeo?

[Wanted on the Charge of "Stealing" the Secret Potion]

Be strong.

Why, I'll just...

Who do you think you are?

I'm a mermaid.

Then...

you're the 18th mermaid...

Aileen?

How do you know me?

Because...

I delivered you myself...

with these two hands.

But...

why are you in this dangerous land of the humans?

You'll get in big trouble if humans see you.

Hey..

You have the potion to become human, don't you?

Give me some.

[Anyone can tell it's here!]

No.

I don't have anything like that.

If you came for that...

don't ever come back.

What?

Hey! Hey!

An Ma Nyeo!

Stop!

Who is it?

Dang.

Hey...

I told you not to come.

You go to work. I'll unpack for you.

I'm done unpacking.

What a great view!

I'll move here after I get a job too.

You know how expensive the rent is?

When will you pay back your student loans and credit card debt?

Then...

can't I stay here?

No.

This is your first day here.

This is my first day here, so what?

In broad daylight. Are you an animal?

Didn't you know?

I'm an animal!

Stop it!

- Be quiet! - Stop it!

Oh, no! It's my mom!

Your shoes.

Mom!

You said you couldn't come!

You're done unpacking.

Let's eat.

No, I'm not hungry.

Come on, I came over, sweating like a pig, just to feed you.

Eat up.

Ahh!

Good, isn't it?

Look at the eggs.

Crab like this is rare in the summer.

Are there any good guys at work?

Dump that bum, Hyun Myung.

Find yourself a solid guy!

That's why I got you out of that crappy place!

Mom!

Why do you think I keep mentioning Gangnam?

All the good men are in Gangnam.

Guys who can't make it can't no matter how hard they try.

Hyun Myung?

He'll never make it.

I can tell right away.

Come on, mom!

I'm glad...

you got this studio.

I heard only 6-figure salary guys live here.

So always wear makeup even when you go to the market.

Dress up too.

Ok, ok.

Hello, mother.

I'm sorry.

I was writing cover letters.

Ok...

work hard.

You should get married too someday.

Guys who can't make it can't no matter how hard they try.

Hyun Myung?

He'll never make it.

I can tell right away.

♪ There are days like that ♪

♪ And there are nights like that ♪

♪ Saying maybe, even if you didn't say a word ♪

[I love you]

♪ I could somewhat understand ♪

Not even a single text after leaving like that?

♪ Although you were silent ♪

[Mom]

♪ There is a saying like that ♪

Hi, mom.

I ate.

You?

♪ And there is a heart like that ♪

Instant noodles? No way.

I ate rice with tasty pickled crab.

♪ I didn't say, "Hope this helps" ♪

I'm getting another call right now.

♪ Because I thought you would just forget ♪

I'll call you later.

♪ Something like that ♪

You haven't eaten yet?

Will you beat it?

What?

Jin Ah didn't feed you?

I said beat it.

Please.

You've got a message.

[Yusan Co. Thank you. We're sorry but you've failed the screening process.]

You've got a message.

[Yusan Co. Thank you. We're sorry but you've failed the screening process.]

You've got a message.

[Yusan Co. Thank you. We're sorry but you've failed the screening process.]

Those jerks! Really?

I'll just explode on you guys.

You've got a message.

Congratulations?

Not "thank you"?

Where?

Let me see.

It's real.

[Palsung Co. Congratulations. You passed...]

[Palsung Co. Congratulations. You passed the document screening process.]

You passed!

I passed!

You passed!

You passed!

You passed!

Calm down.

I barely passed the document screening process.

You passed!

You passed!

Oh?

Oh, my gosh!

Mr. Kwon.

Did I...

make a mistake or something?

I kept saying hi to you.

- You kept ignoring... - Oh, sorry.

When I focus, I really focus.

I see.

I'm glad to hear that.

And I thought I made another mistake.

What brings you here at this hour?

Oh...

I moved here yesterday.

8th floor.

I'll see you often.

Oh...

thanks for last time.

Don't mention it.

I was just doing my job.

That table mat was wonderful too.

We should go out for dinner sometime.

Thank you!

Here you go.

Bye.

Sir, does he live here?

Yes.

Mom, I'll move here.

I don't want anywhere else.

Sure.

I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Kwon.

Sun Kyu...

you sure you can do it?

Trust me.

The sizes are different.

The suit can't change like a Transformer.

They alter wedding dresses too.

Those are wedding dresses.

But suits...

OMG!

He's good!

Hey.

Get this job no matter what.

You need to get Jin Ah.

Yeah, not many couples make it...

when the girl gets a job first.

Hey, if you split, you split.

Only losers...

worry about such stuff.

Right?

Yeah.

Of course!

You're the man!

You want me to give you an interview tip?

Sure.

The most important thing is your armpits.

Let's take the scientific approach.

You'll get nervous during the interview.

When you're nervous, you sweat.

When you sweat, you stink.

Then the interviewer will think...

'He's didn't respect us.'

And will say, "You fail!"

Armpit smell?

Annoying, eh?

Oh, the most important tip is confidence.

Everyone is busting their bottoms these days.

They all know the expected interview questions.

The most important thing is confidence.

I know!

But everyone overlooks the truth.

Honestly, is 2NE1's CL cool?

You really think she's cool?

She's always saying...

"I'm the best!"

"I'm the sexiest mama on earth!"

That's why we're persuaded.

To be honest, you're the hottest guy in our share house.

So show the interviewers...

your confidence like bam!

Bam!

That's it.

You've got your act together.

Any tips, Sun Kyu?

Yeah.

Tips?

Tip.

That's lame.

But it's a pretty penny today.

[Interview Identification]

You majored in art.

Yes.

So I did a marketing analysis for Palsung...

and created...

a new packaging design with Powerpoint.

What's that sound?

Oh, Mr. Lee!

Your heart!

Calm your heart down!

Mr. Lee!

Huh?

My strong points are...

initiative and drive.

My friends...

envy my drive and leadership.

Good morning, baby.

How are you feeling?

Great.

Don't be nervous. Good luck.

Just wait.

I'll get a car after I get this job.

I'll buy you an outfit.

And propose...

What? It got cut off.

Wait and see!

I'll become a really busy salary man!

Lee Hyun Myung!

Let's do it!

After checking the bar, you can mark it off.

Check for anything left behind before you go.

Yes, Mr. Kwon.

Ms. Yoon.

Did you change perfumes?

I liked the previous one better.

What?

He noticed you changed perfumes?

He's quick.

Yeah...

you're his lifesaver after all.

Of course, he notices.

Should I change perfumes too?

It's the CEO.

Check the Shanghai schedule.

Cancel the ceremony.

Sure, Ms. Hong.

Wow, she's so charismatic.

That's how she made it to the top...

without the royal family.

Isn't Ms. Hong the coolest?

Yeah.

I wonder if I can become like her too.

Of course.

I hope I get promoted soon too.

You will.

Wow!

Nice and chatty atmosphere, eh?

What's today?

MAMA's party day.

So?

Are you going to the party too?

It makes me want to look inside.

So bizarre.

No...

I brought my work clothes separately.

There's no time to change. The chef's team already left.

Huh?

Ms. So. Ingredients.

Ms. Yoon, you get the tableware.

We'll leave in exactly 5 minutes.

Yes, ma'am!

This can't be...

See?

[A party for you. I'm your shadow.]

It's a party for me.

But what's taking Ma Nyeo so long?

It's been days.

I've told you many times.

I don't have the potion.

You really don't?

Right...

I really don't, okay?

You still don't?

I know you have it!

I really have to go to the club party!

You want the potion just to go to some club?

Some club?

My love is looking for me.

Want to see the party invitation?

Anyway I don't have it.

I have this too!

Want me to take it back?

Do you know how dangerous the human world is?

Trust becomes cons, and true love becomes betrayal.

So...

don't even think of becoming human.

I'll...

take this for the price of the precious advice.

It was so tough for me to bring this.

Maybe I need to take it back.

Just give me the potion!

Where is it?

I know you have it!

Just give me the potion!

- I'll... - I can't breathe underwater!

Really?

[Here it is!]

Princess Aileen! Princess Aileen!

It's gone!

Princess Aileen!

It's this, right?

No, it’s not that! No!

Don't BS me!

No! Don't try it!

No! Give it back!

Never!

Would you give it back? Let's meet as humans!

No, Princess Aileen!

Wait for me, Shi Kyung.

Don't drink that!

No!

Give it back!

No, Princess Aileen!

No...

No...

[The Mermaid]

- Mr. Lee. - Yes.

You majored in art.

You should've continued art.

I think he drank and went to the Han River.

What?

You know him and his pride.

I have legs!

The girl appeared naked!

- Give them back! - Hey!

That's all you can think about?

Where did she go?

Did you know what potion you took?

How can you take that potion?

Give it back!

What do you want me to do?

Are you sure his love is true?

It's me.

The girl you've been waiting for.

Shi Kyung.

Hi, I'm the owner of this house, Sun Kyu.
