(Episode 1)

- Do you want to die? - No.

- Hey. - It's so hot.

- Hey, hey. - These are so uncomfortable.

- Take them... - Hey.

- Take them off outside. - Why?

Gosh, this is so comfortable.

- Come down. - What's with you? Hey.

What's wrong with you? Stop it.

Hey. Darn you.

My gosh, fine.

I'll get out. Happy now?

This is too tough.

Goodness.

Done.

It smells so good.

Do you want some?

- Hey. - Fine if you don't want any.

I knew it.

This looks good. What is this? Wild chives?

- Or shepherd's purse? - Hey.

Chopsticks.

You made this, right?

Thanks.

You've done very well.

- It can use a bit more sesame oil. - Hey.

What? What now?

Why are you here so late at night?

I came to sleep over. See? I came in my pajamas.

It's not like I came because I wanted to.

My house is flooded.

- Flooded with what? - My water is flowing backward.

I almost drowned to death in my sleep.

I got up because my floor felt wet,

and my room was filled with water. It smelled so awful that...

So what?

So I brought my laptop and a few documents.

Right. I also brought my only brand-name bag...

and a few outfits to sleep over at your place.

A few outfits?

I brought about 3 to 4... Maybe it's about 5 to 6 outfits.

Do you remember last summer when your air conditioner broke down?

- Do you know how long you stayed? - Yes. Like 2 to 3 days.

Half a month. You stayed for half a month.

Come on, I really love your house, Rae Wan. Please?

Please?

- How long will you be staying? - Yes.

This time, you have to tell me exactly for how long.

Well, it has to be after the weekend.

- And the workers need a day off. - Two days.

- If they start fixing on Monday... - One day.

Two days.

I have to ventilate for a few days to get rid of the smell.

Turn on the air conditioner. It'll be gone in a day.

Gosh. Fine.

- Then 10 days to be safe. - Safe?

Five days to be safe.

You're really cold-hearted.

I mean, we have some catching up to do.

I have nothing to catch up with you. I'll give you five days.

You're really harsh.

It's been two months.

Has it been that long?

10 days.

- Okay? - No, five.

I can't let you stay any longer. I have a lot of work to do.

Whom are you hitting on?

It's a painting.

Where are you going?

Let's grab a drink.

You can crash on the sofa. You know the wifi password, right?

Yes. I know that very well.

Genius...

Rae Wan.

- Eun Seong. - Yes?

Never mind.

Nice, Rae Wan.

Rae Wan, I'm leaving.

My gosh.

Stop looking around. You look silly.

Hey, we're translating during a meal, right?

I hate translating during a meal the most.

Why do I have to watch them eat?

There's no time to watch them. It's our time to work.

- Let's eat our emergency food. - I'm so sick of this.

Eat it while you can. It'll be bad if you lose your focus.

(2018 One Day Wine Show)

Are you insane? Why did you go to his place?

I had no other choice. My pipe flew backward,

and my house smelled awful.

It's not that. Why did you go to his house of all places?

Why? It's not like it was my first time at his place.

Listen to you.

You slept with him.

So what? It was just an accident.

My gosh, what a hypocrite.

I can't believe such a cool girl agonized over that for half a month.

It's all in the past. It's been two months already.

What did he say?

What can he say? He has to let me stay.

Wasn't yesterday the first time you saw each other after that?

Yes.

Are you okay?

What's not to be okay?

Just come to my house. What if you two go at it again?

You've done it.

- You two did it again yesterday. - Are you insane?

- You did. - Quiet.

My gosh, you dirty girl.

We didn't. Stop it.

Over here.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Shall we begin? - Sure.

This is a wine called Cuvee Da Capo of Domaine du Pegau.

It's a company that has...

about 60m² of vineyard in Rhone, France, at Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

The wine is dark red in color with a touch of purple.

You can expect to smell and taste...

a mix of yeast, sausage,

and the smell of black currant or black cherry.

- Would you like a taste? - Yes, please.

Wow, this tastes great.

It has a strong fragrance.

It'd be a great match with Korean beef.

This first sip...

feels like the morning dew over water hyacinth.

Please excuse me.

I can feel a forget-me-not in my mouth.

A scene from "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Mussorgsky...

popped right into my head.

But soon enough, a group of badgers run in.

The badgers nose into mountain ash and begin to shout.

"Mamma mia."

Mamma mia?

Water hyacinth...

Badgers.

Badgers.

"This wine has a very intense taste."

That was pretty short.

(Male)

Here's the key. Goodbye.

- Thank you. Goodbye. - Bye.

Excuse me, young man.

- Yes? - I've got some fresh hairtail.

- Really? - Yes.

- I'll stop by tonight. - You have to come.

- Okay. Have a great day. - All right, thank you.

- Rae Wan. - Hey.

Hey, your new album's really awesome.

- You listened? - It's great.

- I'm late. - Okay.

- Call me. - Okay.

- Kim Rae Wan. - Where are you going?

To buy trash bags.

- We should grab a drink. - You buy.

- You should buy. - You buy.

- Treat me for once. - Okay, I will.

- Why are you so desperate? - You promised.

Okay, fine.

- Rae Wan. - Hey.

When will your next work come out?

Soon.

- I look forward to it. - Okay.

I really don't like this color.

What?

What did I do?

Why are you glaring at me?

That's called a slump.

It's not a slump. That's an excuse for rookies.

Didn't your heart beat faster when you saw a white canvas?

- Yes. - But now, you want to tear it up?

No, I want to burn it.

Right. That's how I quit.

- Shall I open a bar too? - Never. Not with your temperament.

Has it been two months since you and Eun Seong did it?

Why mention that?

How is that involved?

Sure, you won't want to admit to it.

She came yesterday.

Who did?

- Eun Seong? - Yes.

She asked to stay a few days because her water pipe burst.

She seemed so indifferent.

- Really? - Yes, she was like before.

How is that possible?

- Did she not have fun? - It was incredible.

Or she's pretending to be indifferent.

Why?

Why would she do that?

This is why men can be so frustrating.

It's great. You were acting like a constipated dog.

I was not.

Excuse me.

Long time no see.

- That won't work on me. - What?

Rumors have spread that you're a player.

Can a player not even say hi? And I'm not a player. I'm...

Hyun Ji.

It is a slump. That's what you're in.

Do you want more beer?

What's that?

What's this?

Han Eun Seong.

Han Eun Seong, you can barely fend for yourself.

I can't just abandon a living thing just to save myself.

I'm allergic to fur.

This isn't fur.

Its squirming annoys me.

- Isn't his squirming cute? - Hey, hey.

He raises his quills when he's angry.

When he's happy, look.

It's so soft.

He's nocturnal, so he moves around at night,

and he loves baths.

He's just like you.

- What's he called? - Bok Go.

That's old-fashioned.

"A hedgehog that brings blessings."

- Right, Bok Go? - How long have you had him?

For a while.

Are you over him?

That's that, and he's he.

Hey, put him on the floor. What if he gets scalded?

Okay. Come over here.

Did you just look out for Bok Go?

- What do you mean? - You just said that...

he could get scalded by the pot.

Not because he's gross but because you were worried.

- What about that? - Good boy.

You got sweeter.

- Eat your food. - Thank you.

It looks good.

It's hot.

Your personality's coming through.

- Are you starving? - Yes, it was a food job.

- A food job? - Yes.

I interpreted while people ate.

Don't laugh. It's an official term.

I can't eat when I work.

So what if there's high-quality rib eye or lobster?

I can only just look. Even if I eat, I get indigestion.

It's a really tough job.

I realized something again today.

People don't seem to think interpreters are human.

We're more like... Yes, we're like transformers.

A transformer that turns a language into another on the spot.

Do you get it?

You are a transformer.

If the voltage doesn't match, you lose your mind...

and explode when overloaded.

Hey.

Do you know what water hyacinth is in French?

"Water hyacinth, bonjour"?

Your friend is serious and trying to tell you how bitter her life is.

Why are you so serious? Just live one day after another.

You can do that.

You have a house, a car, and you're a famous painter.

The house is my parents', the car...

was left behind by my sister when she got married.

A painter needs to paint to be called a painter.

These days,

I'm kind of stuck.

Gosh.

You're really good at de-boning fish.

- What? - You're great with your hands.

You're talented.

Are you...

interested in becoming a painter?

Anyway, you're not the only one struggling.

We're all struggling.

That sounds oddly comforting.

- Here. - Thanks.

Did you call your landlord?

- Yes, the repairs are underway. - When will they finish?

I don't know. In due time.

You're showing your displeasure way too obviously.

It's not that. It's...

Why? What's wrong?

Hey, he must like the smell of your feet.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

It's nice.

When you were in the army, I came over to ventilate this place.

I really loved to sit here alone and drink canned beer.

Was that when you whined about being an insomniac?

Yes, when I first learned interpretation.

Back then, I thought I'd work at the UN once I graduated.

- Transformer. - Hey, don't call me that.

So what is water hyacinth in French?

You didn't look it up, did you?

- It's "jacinthe d'eau". - What?

- Jacinthe d'eau. - Jacinthe d'eau.

Badger is "blaireau".

- Blaireau? - Yes.

- Mountain ash is "sorbier". - Sorbier.

Forget-me-not is "myosotis".

- Myo... Myosotis. - Yes.

That's all for today.

I'm proud of you. You're making money with another language.

Right?

I'm so well-prepared, but the world doesn't appreciate me.

It's so upsetting.

- Hey, hey. - What?

Be careful. Why are you dropping food everywhere?

What's all this?

Hey, did you stop calling your ex?

That was ages ago.

Why?

Are you seeing anyone?

No. I need to focus on my work.

It's been a while since I saw you without a girl.

I'm sick of dating.

So am I.

I want to earn money and buy a house like this.

How much would a place like this cost?

1.2 to 1.3 million dollars?

Let's stay friends forever.

My goodness. It's really expensive.

I liked your third girlfriend.

- Dong Myung? - No, not her.

You know the one who sang Lim Jae Beum's songs really well.

- Wait. It's Hye Gyung. - Right. Hold on.

Let me see. Ye Bin, Joo Young,

- Hye Gyung, So Hee, Dong Myung. No? - No.

It was Ye Bin, Joo Young, So Hee,

Dong Myung, Hye Gyung,

Eun Chae, and Soo Ji.

Let me get this straight.

Ye Bin, Joo Young, So Hee,

Dong Myung, Hye...

My gosh, you player.

Well, I'm distinguished and attractive, you know.

Then did you...

sleep with all of them?

No, I...

- I didn't sleep with... - But I did.

You were with 1 guy for 5 years.

No, I didn't sleep with him for the first year.

My gosh, four years.

I can't believe I was with only 1 guy for 4 years.

I can't believe the two of you. How could you hold out for a year?

That's why he got the next girl he met...

pregnant and married her within a month.

You two broke up. Don't think about that.

Don't you keep in touch with him? Aren't you friends on Facebook?

I unfriended him. He kept posting sonogram photos.

Really?

The baby must be due soon.

But is it a boy or a girl?

Where are you going?

If you're going to talk nonsense, go back inside, and sleep.

I dated him, not you. Why are you being fussy?

Okay, okay, okay. I won't talk about him. Come sit down.

Hey, I...

I won't talk about him.

Why do you keep talking about him? What's the point in that?

Seriously. Those lingering feelings are useless.

Hey, Rae Wan.

What? What is it this time?

Are we really friends?

What is it again?

Then are you my colleague or my military comrade?

You're right. You don't have any other friends except me.

- I have many friends. - Good for you. But I don't.

Yes, you do. You have that friend. Who was that?

You have Ji In. You are friends with her. And who else?

Not a friend like you.

What kind of a friend am I?

- An easy friend? - Come on.

So let me bring this up.

I...

Well, that day...

Hold on. Excuse me. Wait.

Hey, what's up?

Really?

Tomorrow?

Okay. I can start right away. Yes.

Yes, I'll take a look now. Yes, please send it over now. Okay.

("Tales of Love" by Julia Kristeva)

What? What? What is it?

What is it this time?

- You heard that? - Yes, it was loud.

The movie is insane. It's so scary.

Then don't watch it.

But I must make a living.

I'm interpreting for this director tomorrow.

My gosh, it's so scary.

- Unbelievable. - Hey, what's that?

There isn't a limit to what you won't do.

Right?

There isn't a limit to the methods of killing people.

I'm going back in. I have to work too.

My gosh, no!

Hey, hey. Is that over? Is it?

Is that part over?

Yes, it's over.

Hey, don't you dare lie to me. Or else, I'll kill you.

No, I'm serious.

My gosh, this is insane.

Hello? Steven?

Hey, my gosh. No!

What's that? What is that?

I don't know. It's a person. A person.

- It's a person? - A person.

Yes, it is. It scared the wits out of me.

It's finally over.

Hey, what is this?

You've been holding my arm for 10 minutes now.

I did?

My arm must have been crazy. Stop it.

What are you doing? Let go.

Hey, I can't move my arm.

- What are you saying? - Wait, wait. My arm.

- What's wrong with you? - Bad blood circulation.

- A cramp? Really? What do I do? - Yes.

Hold on. Don't move.

- Does it hurt? - Stop it.

I must massage it to ease it.

- No, stop it. It tickles. - What should I do then?

I have to massage it to relax the muscles.

Hey, does that tickle?

Try to endure it for a few minutes. I have to massage it.

- Wait, no, no. - Just like this.

- It hurts. Stop that. - This will relax your muscles.

- Just a bit more. Okay? - Hey.

This is hilarious.

It was your fault. You kept... You kept holding onto my arm.

- You're not scared, right? - No.

Okay. I'm going to go to my room.

Okay.

If you're scared, turn this on.

This?

This is so distracting.

Do you want me to feel like I'm sleeping at a club?

You're grumpy even when I'm trying to be nice.

Do whatever you want to do with it.

I should do this side on my way there.

Hey.

That's too loud. Can't you turn that off?

I'm going to work.

- I'll be late today. - Whatever.

Gosh.

Hey, hey. Transformer.

I told you not to call me that. What is it?

- Come here. - Why? I'm late.

What are you doing?

Did you apply makeup on your eyes or not?

I was going to do this side in the taxi.

- I told you I'm late. - My gosh.

What if you poke your eye like the other time?

- Look at that side. - Okay.

Hold on.

There.

All done.

There you go.

Take a look.

What do you think?

Isn't it nice? Isn't it?

My expertise comes at a high cost.

I knew it. I haven't lost my touch.

- I'm leaving now. - Okay.

- Don't forget this. - Okay.

Look down.

There.

All done.

Okay.

He must be crazy.

Why did he do that?

Ms. Han.

Melanie, this is Han Eun Seong.

There she is. My savior, welcome.

Thank you for coming.

Sure. Nice to meet you. My name is Han Eun Seong.

- Have you seen my movie? - Yes, it was quite frightening.

I see. You've also been lovestruck before, haven't you?

Pardon?

To someone who knows what love is, my movie can be quite frightening.

Is that so?

Eun Seong.

Your eyes are very bright, and they stand out.

I love people who have beautiful eyes.
