Hello.

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

It's an honor.

You are the famous Lee Juck. I'm glad I get to see you here.

My goodness. You...

You don't know who I am, do you?

- You are a talented... - Of course we know.

- musician. - I've seen you a lot on TV.

- Really? - I've seen you on TV.

Thank you.

You were on music shows...

around the same time as my son, so I saw you a lot.

Jong Kook and I debuted on the same year.

Turbo and Panic...

both debuted in 1995.

(In 1995, the 22-year-old Lee Juck sang "Snail".)

How does he look in real life?

He's great.

He looks nice.

He looks nice.

It's been a long time since you released an official album.

Yes.

It's been seven years since I released an official album.

- Seven years. - It's been a long time.

I haven't released an official album in such a long time.

An album with more than 10 songs.

Yes. There are 12 songs.

You wrote all songs and the lyrics.

- You are amazing. - You are very talented.

He is a genius songwriter.

So he writes songs and lyrics incredibly well.

But on top of that, he sings well too.

That's why he's beloved by people.

The songs "It's Fortunate"...

and "Run Across the Sky"...

are the songs he wrote for his wife.

She must be happy.

- He's a musician, so... - I knew about "It's Fortunate".

- How lovely. - "Run Across the Sky" too.

A lot of men sing "Run Across the Sky" at karaokes.

But not many people know that it's a love song.

There's a part that goes, "Your hot voice rings in my heart".

Before we got married,

my wife was studying abroad.

- When we talked on the phone, - You talked on the phone.

the phone became hot...

because we talked for too long.

Hence the line, "Your hot voice rings in my heart".

You talked on the phone for a long time.

I wanted to run across the sky and go to her.

"Even if I get too near the sun and burn".

I never thought of that as a love song.

A lot of men sing this song at a karaoke.

But men always sing it after drinking a lot.

They sing it...

- when they are really excited. - Right.

So I never thought it could be a love song.

Right.

I want to hear it and see what it sounds like.

- Right. - Yes.

You want to hear "It's Fortunate".

- Yes. - Yes.

I sang this song to her over the phone.

- My goodness. - It's Fortunate.

Yes. How can you write a song...

- like this for your lover? - I need something to hold.

See what you think of this song.

I played the piano like this.

(I am fortunate to have met you)

(And to be able to touch your hair)

(I am fortunate to have met you)

(And to be able to breathe while looking at you)

It's lovely.

(I'm fortunate to hug you)

(And cry whenever I get tired)

(It's fortunate)

(That I met the beautiful world that is you)

(Lee Juck is great!)

- You wouldn't have to... - I sang so unexpectedly.

prepare anything else to propose to her.

- Yes. - It's so lovely.

It really touched my heart.

Thank you.

Ladies. Have you ever felt the feeling of...

flying in the sky after meeting your husband?

About two years after we started dating,

my husband enlisted in the army. He had to serve in the army.

We were going to meet on the day of his first vacation leave.

There were so many people, but I could only see his face.

In the moment we were walking towards each other,

- I felt like I was flying. - It's like what happens in a movie.

That's about how close I got to that feeling.

Have you ever felt like you were flying in the sky?

About 30, 40 years ago,

I ran across the sky about two times.

Two times.

You ran across the sky?

Yes. I felt that feeling.

When I had my two daughters,

my husband made sure I didn't do anything.

He made sure I was comfortable.

He took such a good care of me.

I was so happy then.

But I think I got tired after that.

I didn't get to fly since.

But you experienced it once, so it's all good.

I experienced it twice.

You ran across the sky twice.

- In the past... - When I was...

dating my husband,

he used to...

give me a kiss in front of the door of my house.

- That feeling... - You felt nervous.

It was much sweeter than a long, proper kiss.

- Right. - It was sweeter.

Yes. I didn't get to sleep at night.

Even until now, I remember how sweet that felt.

And it made you feel like running in the sky.

I really loved that feeling.

Right. That's when you...

ran in the sky.

Now, just two people remain. We are very curious about...

whether or not they got to run in the sky.

Perhaps they did.

Or maybe they didn't.

- You shouldn't ask us. - I never...

I never felt the feeling of running in the sky.

But you said you fell for him...

when you saw his masculine and hairy legs.

I felt good then.

But not enough to make you feel you're running in the sky?

- Of course not. - Seeing his leg hair...

Just seeing the leg hair is not enough to make you feel...

like you're running in the sky.

I thought it was interesting and felt good.

So since then, when you met him after a long time,

did your heart pound a lot?

My heart didn't pound.

(Big Brother as Gracious as the Father)

"Big Brother as Gracious as the Father"?

(A son is practicing batting in a batting cage.)

- Who is it? - It looks like my son.

(Tae Sung)

It's him.

(As he used to be a baseball player, he's good at batting.)

He was a baseball player when he was little.

The timing is perfect.

His posture is different from ordinary people.

He's good.

It finally worked, but it ended.

(Getting out after batting)

- I'm so disappointed. - You're not good at all anymore.

(Two men welcome him.)

(Gosh, I'm so disappointed.)

(Your skills are not good at all anymore.)

Since they're practice balls, they're made of rubber.

- Goodness. - Gosh.

Does anyone play with iron balls or something?

(Actor Kim Seung Woo who's been his friend for 13 years)

Hey, you're talking nonsense.

- Oh, it's Kim Seung Woo. - Kim Seung Woo.

- Kim Seung Woo. - It's Seung Woo.

How could you miss every ball?

- Do they belong to a baseball team? - Yes.

He couldn't hit any, right?

- I hit it twice. - He used to be a baseball player.

- But you didn't hit it accurately. - No.

Since I was a pitcher.

(I'm better at pitching than batting.)

- My goodness. - People expect...

a former baseball player...

should be dramatically good.

I do everything that should be done during a game,

but it's just that it's not noticeable.

That means you're bad.

(The general manager is cool-headed.)

It means your play is not impactful.

So It's a good thing that I quit.

In your opinion, I'm a better player than him, right?

- You have a much better feel of it. - Right?

- He has the best feel of it. - I...

- You need the feel in baseball. - Of course.

But I'm a former baseball player, so I'm on a different level.

I have a lot of experience in games,

whereas Yu Bin doesn't.

He's right.

But I'm better than you now.

(What's the point of being a former baseball player?)

Right, the records tell you all.

(You heard him. How dare you?)

They why don't you make a bet?

- A bet? On batting? - Yes.

- On batting. - Okay.

You should do it too.

- Join us. - Let's do it together.

Gosh, can you handle that?

(The general manager is pretentious.)

Gosh, can you handle that?

I'm much better than you...

when it comes to batting.

He's better in big games.

(The men who can play baseball fight for their pride.)

(The general manager on fire versus the team members)

(Anticipating)

(First batter, Sung Yu Bin, the ace of the team)

I think he'll be good.

- He's good, right? - Yes, he is.

(Having high hopes for the ace)

I'm slightly getting nervous.

(Will Yu Bin's skills be really that good?)

That was good.

Look how good his swing is.

His swing is great.

(As an ace, he hits the ball powerfully.)

(Yu Bin is good as expected.)

(Gosh, he's quite good.)

(He swings and misses this time.)

Goodness.

- Okay, good. - Good.

That's how you swing and miss.

That's it. Keep doing that.

- Does this one count too? - No, it's just out.

- A ball like this... - It's definitely out.

- It's surely out. - Gosh.

He gets to miss the balls.

I think he got too ambitious...

- Gosh. - to win.

- There you go. - Goodness.

(He crumbled as the others attacked his mentality.)

Out of the nine balls...

- Out. - Out.

That's out.

(No mercy)

- That's it. - That was good.

- That was the only good hit. - That's the only one.

(Yu Bin finished batting.)

I'm disappointed in you, Yu Bin.

You didn't have a hit.

(His mom feels bad.)

- 11 balls? - 11.

(The second batter, Lee Tae Sung, a former baseball player)

- Here I go. - Give it a go.

- Let's go. - Only the balls that go forward.

(Let me show you a former baseball player is on a different level.)

This much.

(How...)

(will the result be?)

(He swings and misses from the start already.)

- You can't even hit it. - Gosh.

(My goodness' sake)

You do that when you try too hard to do well.

His lower body looks too weak.

(You can't even hit it.)

What's wrong with the ball?

- Are you doing it on purpose? - You think I'd do it on purpose?

Don't try to be funny.

You don't have to, so show us what you got.

It takes me some time to get the hang of it.

- Two. - That was good.

All right, I got the hang of it now.

- What should I do with that one? - It went forward.

- I counted such a ball for you. - Okay.

He talks a lot even when he plays baseball.

He does talk a lot.

- The last ball. - There is one more ball left.

(The last ball for the too much talker)

Let's go.

You brothers can hardly hit the balls properly.

- Well... - Hey.

You guys hardly hit the balls properly.

There are no balls they hit properly.

Because I'm wearing a mask, I can't breathe well.

Breathing is important when you're batting.

Hey, did Yu Bin do it without wearing a mask then?

- I can't breathe well. - All right.

- Go. - Go.

(The third batter, Kim Seung Woo, the general manager of the team)

The general manager's swing.

I think Seung Woo will be good.

(How good will the big brother's baseball skills be?)

(Surprised)

This is a proper hit.

(The ball flies straight and neatly.)

(He's good.)

- He is good. - He's good.

He is strong.

How can this happen?

No wonder.

Get ready like this...

and hit it lightly like this while talking.

What's so difficult about this? Just stay still...

and hit it lightly like this.

That's ridiculous.

- He's really good. - He's good.

He hits the balls so easily.

This is baseball.

Look at it like this...

and just hit it lightly.

(Even a full swing)

This is baseball, I'm telling you.

Lightly.

It doesn't make sense.

- The last one. - It's the last ball.

(Even the last ball)

(See? This is how you play baseball.)

(He hits even the last ball nicely.)

Even the last ball.

He's a good batter.

(Then he gets out of the batter's box.)

Hey.

- He's a good batter. - He is.

He's good.

Normally, he's a character who's not good at things.

(He's kidding.)

Please come on in.

Good.

- Hey. - It's been a long time, right?

Right, and the entrance became very clean.

- Yes. - It's neat.

It looks somehow different.

- It's cleaned up now, right? - Yes.

- Hey... - We cleaned it up so hard.

Do you keep cleaning now?

We cleaned it up neatly.

- You did? - We keep it clean.

They must be very close.

- Can I open it? - Yes.

- Drink something, please. - Okay.

(Chuckling)

(Exclaiming)

You have alcohol.

(There are only alcohol and beverages in the fridge.)

For goodness' sake.

- The soju looks like "Low Voice". - You know I have a low voice.

Oh, you have dumplings. Good.

- Shall I cook dumplings? - I like dumplings.

Oh, I like this.

This one is good. Let's make...

the bottom parts crispy and...

- Like the ones from a ramen place? - Exactly.

- Something like fried dumplings? - Like that.

- Can you make it? - You try to make it.

When we were in the military,

we just microwaved it.

You do that in the military. I did that often too.

Let's try to make it. And...

what else do you have? Do you have rice?

- We don't have rice. - Hey.

Then what do you eat? You order in every day?

- Well... Yes. - Yes.

Darn it.

(Their mom feels frustrated.)

(So does their close friend.)

Now that you're not that young, you should not do that anymore.

Stop ordering in.

Hold on a second. Let me make you something good.

(Are you going to cook yourself?)

Can he cook too?

He seems like a family man.

- Where do you have them? - What?

What is it called?

Condiments.

- Do you have any? - Condiments...

Do you even cook at home?

I think there are no condiments.

(Opening the cupboard to look for condiments)

- Pepper is all we have. - Pepper and starch.

(Just starch, soy sauce, and pepper)

They'd never have them.

(Flustered)

- The cupboard... - How can you have just pepper?

- Gosh. - We don't have anything.

(Gosh, my son.)

They don't even have salt?

Most people would have sugar and salt.

(They don't even have sugar or salt.)

- They never cook? - What can they make?

Right, they never cook.

It's obvious that you don't cook anything at home.

What are these?

- We have nothing. - Junk.

Why do you have so much medicine?

- Toothpaste and what not. - Goodness.

Why did you put batteries in here?

For goodness' sake.

(Full of junk instead of what they need in the kitchen)

- They're just junk. - How can you put...

Tae Sung is not in a position to nag at his brother in my opinion.

(I know.)

Then where is cooking oil?

- Do we have it? - Do we have cooking oil?

My gosh.

(They probably have cooking oil at least.)

Do we have cooking oil?

(What?)

How could anyone have no cooking oil at home?

- The expiration date... - Didn't it pass it?

It did pass. It's best until 2020.

(It tells they never cooked.)

- It's best until June 2020. - Hey.

For goodness' sake.

- June. - So you're just pretentious.

You said you'd treat me to a proper meal.

We don't have cooking oil?

Gosh.

- Can you eat... - So you never cook at home?

cooking oil even when it's...

- No. - past its expiration date?

No. Still...

Doesn't oil come out of dumplings?

"Doesn't oil come out of dumplings?"

(Oil? What's he talking about?)

What if they get stuck in here?

In that case, I know how to do it without cooking oil.

- Really? - Give me a plate.

- I'm relieved. - With this...

Wait a second. I'll make you something good.

- I guess he cooks often. - He is a good cook.

Do you have plates?

Yes, we do.

I can't believe I have to ask if there are plates in a house.

(I can't believe I have to ask if there are plates in a house.)

- I'm relieved. - With this...

How many do you want to eat? Give me the exact number.

Two.

- He's going to eat 2 of them? - Just 2?

What is he doing?

- I know what you mean. - Is he...

- Is he joking? - kidding or what?

- What? - Two.

- Really? - Yes.

(Putting the amount of the dumplings they want on a plate)

- Microwave it. - This is enough.

- For 2 minutes and 20 seconds. - Okay.

- And there was starch here. - Yes.

With this...

When they're cooked a little bit,

mix the starch with water.

The jjajangmyeon sauce is slightly sticky.

- Yes. - It's just like that.

Gosh, you guys were supposed to cook for me, right?

Right.

I definitely remember I came here to be treated to your cooking.

I should wash this.

This will be good as is too.

- Yes, it looks good. - Right?

Please turn this on. How can I turn it on?

- Do you know how to turn it on? - Yes, I do.

We hardly turn it on, but it'll work.

(It just keeps sparking.)

We have to wait a little bit. It takes some time until the gas comes.

- Liar. - After opening the valve,

you have to wait for the gas to come.

- Gosh. Okay, okay. - As we hardly use it.

I get it.

Things like that aren't turned on well in a house like that.

- Gosh. - Because they don't cook.

We should do it like this.

- Does it work now? - Okay.

- The gas is provided well now. - Okay.

Just wait and see. I'll make something delicious.

I get curious.

Let me place them here.

(Putting the slightly microwaved dumplings in a pan)

- Shall I give you ice? - What?

- Ice? - What is he doing?

- What is that? - Sounds good.

- Starch water. - Starch mixed with water.

So that it becomes something like wings on the bottom?

- Yes. - I see.

After doing this...

- put the lid... - Okay.

on it gently.

(Put the lid on it gently.)

And then...

(A little later)

- It turned out as I wanted. - What?

- My gosh. - Just wait and see.

All right, this is enough.

(Nicely chewy dumplings Seung Woo prepared...)

(and stir-fried sundae they bought on the way home)

That looks really good.

Thank you for the food.

So that's another way to cook it.

You can use starch like that to make it.

I know.

(Having a bite of the dumpling he made first)

That'll be definitely delicious.

(Savoring)

It's a killer.

- It must be good. - Yes.

- How does it taste? - Oh, it's hot.

- How does it taste? - Oh, it's hot.

- It tastes good. - Doesn't it?

- It's delicious. - Isn't it? It's not bad.

Gosh.

I made it, not you.

(Thank you for the food.)

The guest made it.

Did you know they're close to Seung Woo?

Yes, they've been close for a long time.

Is that so?

Seung Woo loves dumplings.

There was also a time when I made dumplings and send them to him.

(She made dumplings for Seung Woo.)

How did he respond after eating them?

He thought they were bought from a restaurant.

- I think they were good. - I guess you are a good cook.

Since my in-laws are from North Korea, I can make good dumplings.

- I bet. - Yes.

That reminds me of something.

Some people say Koreans compliment food in a strange way now.

When homemade food is good, we'd say,

"Wow, it's almost like the food a restaurant would sell."

And when the food in a restaurant is really good, we'd say,

"Oh, it tastes like the food my mother made."

- You're right. - Right.

So they think it's strange.

It's confusing which one is better.

(Tell me about it.)

It looks delicious.

You barely cook at home?

- Once in a while. - We make ramyeon occasionally.

We make ramyeon once in a blue moon.

Do you earn enough money these days?

Well... Just enough...

- You give a lot of singing lessons? - I give lessons.

He was the first singer of my agency.

(Really?)

(Yu Bin and Seung Woo belonged to the same agency.)

Back then, why did your agency...

want Yu Bin to release his album?

Well, I just thought it would be a hit.

I thought it would be a hit.

Well, the thing is, honestly, I'm a person...

who believes people with talents should come out into the world.

It's hard for me to see someone with talents stay unknown...

because we've all been there.

When there is someone who has great talents,

I want to help them as a senior if I can.

But I didn't know his album would go under that badly.

I thought the agency would be on a roll thanks to Yu Bin.

As I told you last time, Yu Bin is a really good singer.

- He is good. - He really is.

I realized that he was good that day.

- You did, right? - Yes.

I was so surprised.

Tae Sung is a good singer too.

- Yes, Tae Sung too. - So is Tae Sung.

And Yu Bin is really...

Both of her sons are good.

You wrote the lyrics for me back then.

- You wrote it on a sticky note, - I know.

and I composed the song.

- We've gone through a lot. - Yes.

We wrote "Get Over It" as we often said,

"Get over it." while drinking.

("Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook in 2015)

(I just thought they'd sing together,)

(but Seung Woo will play the drums himself.)

(Seung Woo appeared on the music show with Yu Bin for his comeback.)

("Get Over It" by Sung Yu Bin)

(He even played the drums for his beloved friend.)

(Pleased)

He's good.

- He did a lot to take care of him. - Yes.

Is that all he can do? I think I could play the drums that much too.

(He's just kidding.)

Don't you think you should release another album?

I'm preparing for one these days.

- Are you? - Yes.

But I don't have the lyrics yet.

Please give him the lyrics.

There are a lot of lyrics that I have, but...

You're not giving them to me on purpose?

I want to save them for later.

(Seung Woo...)

(I'm kidding.)

Oh, right.

I was upset on "Immortal Songs" because of you guys.

How can you cry there? That's unfair.

We never planned to cry there.

- We never cried when practicing. - You should've crumbled then.

You should've got so surprised and out of tune.

- Then I could've become the winner. - Right.

- They were on it together? - Yes, they were.

One day before the shoot,

we said, "What if we get teary..."

"on the stage?"

- Because of the lyrics? - Yes.

But I said, "We'll never cry. We're professionals."

- "That'll never happen." - He really said that.

"We should not cry even before the audience does."

I was watching that on a screen in the studio,

and I also got emotional.

- I saw that too. - Gosh.

(Tae Sung and Yu Bin sang together on "Immortal Songs Actors Special".)

(They became the winners with the explosive singing skills...)

(and touching performance.)

(Even if the world stabs you in the back)

(Shake it off with a glass of soju)

(We can just face it and get shattered if we have to)

(That's what life is like)

(You're an amazing guy)

Oh, they're good.

(Amazed)

They're good singers.

Your friends liked it...

when you were on "Immortal Songs" last time, didn't they?

Yes, a lot of my friends said they enjoyed it.

I was in a military band,

so many of the members called me too.

Right, you were in a military band.

Come to think of it, I saw both of you brothers...

enlist in the military and get discharged as well.

- I know. - Right.

That's already five years.

- I know. - The time we were in the military.

We go back a long way.

- They must've been very close. - Yes.

He's like their big brother.

I first saw you when I was 23 years old.

So it's been already...

- over 10 years. - How old are you now?

I'm 36 now.

- It's been 13 years. - We first met when you were 23?

Yes, when I was so young.

You first met in a ballpark?

- Right. - At Dongdaemun Baseball Stadium.

They said the owner of the team would be coming.

That's what I heard.

That's right.

Gosh.

We went abroad for a baseball event.

- After the baseball game, - Dinner.

we had dinner together.

The game was at night,

so was it around 11pm?

- 10:30 to 11pm. - Right.

It went on until 4 to 5am.

He said he had something to tell me.

I was drunk and wanted to go in and sleep.

But it was the first time he said that,

so I told him we could talk.

Everyone else went in and it was just the two of us.

We started talking.

(Tae Sung opened up to him.)

He can now easily talk about it,

but he brought up Han Seung.

- When he first had Han Seung? - Yes.

His son.

- When he first had Han Seung? - Yes.

Oh, when he first had Han Seung?

It sobered me up.

From what I remember, after hearing that,

Having a baby is something to celebrate, but...

I made him a promise.

- I asked him to keep it a secret. - Yes, to keep it a secret.

I went home, but I couldn't even tell my wife.

It was so frustrating.

How would your parents have felt?

- Right. - They must have been shocked.

It was so frustrating.

He must have trusted and liked Seung Woo a lot...

to have shared that secret with him.

Gosh.

(Tae Sung became a dad at 26 before doing his military service.)

He had no money saved up,

so I told him to come to me whenever he needs help.

He didn't ask me for help for a long time.

One day,

we got a drink together,

called for a driver and were waiting to go home.

We were talking in front of my house.

He carefully brought something up...

and cried.

No, he choked up.

- While speaking? - Yes.

(Tae Sung choked up?)

He said, "I'm sorry to say this...".

Then he choked up.

That made me upset.

I always told him I'd be there for him.

I told him that,

but seeing him choking up like that upset me.

(Seeing Tae Sung choking up without being able to speak...)

I believe...

that was when I still had over a year of military service left.

- I was a private first class. - That's right.

I was a private first class.

I must have been 31 years old.

I was paid 110 dollars monthly.

It was either 90 or 110 dollars.

- For those in the military? - Yes.

It was frustrating and I kept sighing.

I couldn't work or get a loan from the bank.

That's right.

That was when...

I started taking loans on credit cards.

- I see. - I started taking loans.

The day I was supposed to have dinner...

and get drinks with him...

It was toward the end of the month.

I didn't have any money left in my bank account.

- That happens. - Seriously.

(I see...)

He choked up.

That must have been tough.

I remember I only had a little over 30 dollars left.

(He only had around 30 dollars in his bank account.)

(He was in despair...)

(and burst into tears.)

- It must have been so hard for him. - Yes.

Did you not know...

how tough it was for him?

I know it was difficult, since he wasn't making money.

He couldn't keep asking us for money,

so I know he was struggling.

He can talk about it now,

but it's a relief he had...

- such a good friend. - Right.

Seung Woo really took good care of him like a brother...

financially and emotionally.

- He was a great support. - I see.

- You must be grateful. - Yes.

- He's nice. - Yes.

I had some cash on me...

I'd withdrawn to buy something.

I didn't even count it and gave it to him.

He was wearing a cap.

I pulled the brim down and handed him the money.

(Thank you, Seung Woo.)

- He's a good friend. - Yes, he is.

He must feel like a savior.

- Right. - Yes, help in times of need.

- You remember it forever. - Right.

I asked him the name of his son.

I was trying to make him feel better...

and asked him the name of his son.

He said it's Han Seung.

I told him everyone with "Seung" in their name does well.

- Right? - That's right.

You said everyone with "Seung" in their name does well.

Do you remember?

- Yes. - I said his son will do well.

He'll be a success.

Do you remember?

- Over time, - Yes.

it turns out everyone is healthy...

- thanks to Han Seung. - Right.

- You and your parents. - That's right.

- He's so mature. - Yes, he's all grown up.

What grade is he in?

- 3rd grade. - 3rd grade?

Kids grow up so quickly.

He'll be in middle school soon.

Do you ever discipline your children...

when they don't listen to you?

Whenever there is trouble between them and my wife,

I side with my wife.

(I knew it.)

I side with my wife.

(What?)

(Come on.)

You're such a romantic.

No, I'm not.

I have to pretend to be.

- He knows how to answer questions. - He does.

I have no choice. It isn't easy to survive.

(It isn't easy to be a romantic.)

- Seung Woo. - Yes?

- If your daughter... - Yes?

(My daughter?)

had a boyfriend,

how would you feel?

Bring him to me. Where is he?

(He gets worked up.)

Bring him to me. Where is he?

Have you seen him? Who is he?

(Have you seen him? Who is he?)

Bring him to me now.

I think he'd be scary.

Where is he? Call him.

It's not like that.

(The doting parents continue their conversation.)

- Tae Sung has a great friend. - Yes, he does.

I'm so grateful.

- I had no idea. - Me, neither.

I can see Seung Woo is a very warm person.

When Han Seung was little,

around five,

Kim Seung Woo and Kim Nam Joo invited Han Seung to their house...

on Children's Day.

They invited the children of all their friends...

and threw them a Children's Day party.

I'm grateful to him for so many things.

- I see. - He's a good friend.

- You have two daughters, right? - Yes.

- How old are they? - 1st grade and 4th grade.

They're in elementary school.

Raising children...

is hard for everyone.

When was it most challenging for you?

My younger child was ill...

- as soon as she was born. - Gosh.

- I see. - She was this little.

That must have been so hard.

I learned that there is something called a NICU...

- at the hospital. - My goodness.

She must've been very ill.

She was there for 10 days...

- with various tubes stuck into her. - I see.

- Her weight went down to 2.4kg. - I see.

- She was a baby, but very skinny. - Gosh.

- You rarely see that. - Of course.

I felt heartbroken.

I went every time when they allowed visitors.

Thankfully, she is healthy now.

Now she eats well...

- and has regular bowel movements. - I see.

I prayed so much back then...

and wondered if we did anything wrong.

- You get that thought. - Yes.

Healthy children are the best thing parents can ask for.

Yes, you're right.

- If your daughters... - Yes?

say they'll marry someone just like their dad,

what would you say to them?

My younger one currently says she isn't going to get married.

She's only in first grade.

Jang Hoon is all for getting remarried.

- Let's say you got remarried... - Yes?

and had a daughter.

- If your daughter wants to marry... - Me?

Where would she find someone like me?

He has to be over 2m tall.

I'm not very worried...

because people like me are rare in Korea.

- It's rare. - Yes, but characteristics...

I think I'd really hate it...

if she met someone like me.

- Why? - Why?

I know...

how uncomfortable living my life is.

Why would she choose a tiring life?

I think I'd say that.

Why are you saying that when your life isn't over yet?

If he has to sit down and talk to a son-in-law just like him,

- he'd be very tired. - That's right.

What about you, Dong Yeob?

What if your daughter says...

she wants to marry someone just like you?

My daughter wasn't born that lucky.

Because there isn't anyone like Dong Yeob anymore in the world.

I think it'd be really nice.

Would you be okay if your daughter...

can't see her husband?

What are you talking about?

- She can't see her day and night. - Well,

she hasn't seen her dad at home anyway,

she'll think it's the norm.

(She will think that's how it is.)

(A basement parking lot)

Goodness.

Gosh.

Long time no see.

What's that heavy thing?

It's my daughter.

- Sun Young straightened her hair. - What is she dragging?

- Right. Her hair is straightened. - Yes.

That hair is prettier.

- Hairstyle? - Yes.

- She looks innocent. - She looks lovely.

(She's dragging a cooler.)

(She opens the trunk.)

Gosh.

(She puts the cooler in the trunk.)

(Is there more stuff?)

(Two coolers)

Goodness.

(Ziploc bag and shopping bag)

(Shopping bag and box)

She's packing so much stuff.

Is she moving out?

(Where's she going and why is she bringing so much stuff?)

(It looks like she's moving out.)

It's done.

Now I can go.

I'm so tired.

(Where's she going with all the luggage?)

All right.

(She's Too Generous for Me)

Let's go.

"She's Too Generous for Me".

She is too generous.

The weather's good today.

("Boogie Man" by Hong Jin Young)

This "Boogie Man" refers to people with puffy faces.

Puffy puffy

When will the puffiness go away?

(Happy)

(It's awesome You're gentle)

(You're awesome)

Don't look

(Where is Sun Young going as she's singing a cheerful song?)

(Sun Young arrives at a house.)

(I'm here!)

(She unloads all the stuff.)

(Heave-ho!)

(She goes inside.)

(Where is she?)

I think she's at a filming set.

I need to cook rice.

I should wash my hands.

(Cook rice?)

(Pouring)

Is she cooking rice there for herself?

(Why is she cooking rice?)

- Goodness. - Where is she?

I think it's a waiting room.

It's not instant rice.

She's didn't bring cooked rice.

I think she brought everything.

(She brought a rice cooker.)

Did she bring a rice cooker?

- She keeps bringing stuff. - Right.

(She switches the cooker to cook and leaves the room.)

(Staring vacantly)

(Jin Young is filming.)

- I'll try it. - Yes.

Then, I'll shed a tear...

- at "No". - A music video.

No. Shed a tear. Then...

(Standing in the back)

Then...

- Let's try it. - Yes.

(Creeping up)

Hi.

Hi. Hello.

Hello.

(Sun Young came to Jin Young's music video shoot to cheer her up!)

- Thanks for the hard work. - Thank you.

Energy drink.

Thanks for the hard work.

- Thanks for the hard work. - Thank you.

(She gives the energy drinks to the staff members.)

- I have one. - Okay.

(Good job.)

- Now, go. - What?

- Did you hand everything out? - Go?

- Go now. - I have a lot to do today.

I need to create emotions.

Can't I sit and watch?

Gosh.

We'll play the song. Roll camera, please.

(The music video portrays a sorrowful heartbroken woman.)

(Monitoring zealously)

(Jin Young is acting mournfully.)

(She's more mournful than Jin Young.)

(The first shoot is over.)

Cut.

You're barely moving, Jin Young.

(You are barely moving, Jin Young!)

I'm lip-syncing.

You need to show your emotions...

through your fingertips.

You can move the viewers that way.

(She's nagging again.)

You shouldn't do it like that.

Okay.

Come and sit here.

Sit. Show me how to do it.

You're lacking something.

(Shall I show you?)

Is she going to do it?

Let's see how you do it.

Should I play the song?

She's getting ready to cry already.

- She's already shedding a tear. - You have to feel sad for real.

It can't be a fake tear. You have to feel sad for real.

(Sad and mournful)

(Emotion fully charged)

(Even if you live just one day)

(That's everything for me)

(She has turned into a heroine of tragic love.)

(Explosion of emotion)

(This is how you act emotion!)

(Screaming)

(Dumbfounded)

(Choked up)

(Looking plaintive)

(Sensitive fingertip moves)

- She's good. - She is.

(She's good.)

I think I can be a singer. I'm good.

(Praising herself)

Roll camera.

- I'll play the song. - Okay.

Here we go.

(Jin Young's acting became more emotional.)

(She's even crying!)

She got emotional and shed a tear.

(Good! Well done!)

Okay, cut!

- Good job. - Good work.

(They finished filming one scene.)

Change your wardrobe.

(Jin Young is getting ready for the next shoot.)

I feel bad to say this,

but your acting wasn't great.

Well, I think you aren't great.

I wanted you to be more emotional...

to portray a really painful love.

What do you think about what she said?

So I told your boss...

to sign you up for acting lessons.

Do you think my acting is weird?

Yes. You're good, but you look awkward.

If you're so good, you try.

(If you're so good, you try!)

Try it. I'll tell the director.

I'll let you be in it.

- Sit here. - You startled me.

Why did you tie your hair like that? It shows the hair extensions.

You said you were good at acting.

I'll do your hair, so try acting.

Okay?

(Will you really make me do it?)

How can you criticize my acting when your hair is like this?

Anyone can criticize.

Why do you criticize?

You can't even act better than me.

I'm pretty good.

You were a terrible actress when you lied to mom and dad.

(Prick of conscience)

Hey, I'm criticizing for your own good.

It's for your own good.

Don't do that.

It really hurts.

I'm really sorry.

- Sorry. - That hurts.

(They're at it again.)

It'd be weird if they didn't fight.

I'm bleeding!

Bleeding? Come on.

You have a weird personality.

Do you want to get hit with this? You'll see how painful it is.

It hurts.

Call your hairstylist.

What is this?

It's cute.

It's funny.

It's cute.

(She seems to be satisfied.)

Will you try acting?

Will you show me?

But, I don't think...

you're good enough to criticize me.

I'll do a good job.

(It's been decided that Sun Young will be in the music video.)

I'm not saying that we'll use the footage.

- Is that right? - We'll let you try first.

We'll use it if it's good.

This is...

to reduce the puffy face.

Is that how you reduce the puffy face?

Holding this in your mouth and moving it up and down...

ten times will reduce the puffiness.

Really?

(Puffiness go away.)

I'll get rid of puffiness.

(Is there a better way?)

Close your eyes.

(Screaming)

(Screaming)

What?

(What is that?)

This gets rid of puffiness too. It helps with blood circulation.

Yes. You can massage those spots.

- Do you want me to do it for you? - No.

Applying lipstick nicely can make you look cute.

(She fixes Sun Young's makeup for the music video!)

Why do you have only one eyelash left?

- That hurts! - I'll remove it.

I couldn't get eyelash extensions.

I'll remove it.

Leave it.

It looks really weird.

Leave it because it hurts.

If you remove it, my real lashes will fall off too.

I'll remove it. It looks really weird.

You look weird because you have one long eyelash.

It's my eyelash.

No, I don't like it. Open your eyes.

Open your eye!

Did you cut some other eyelash?

Give me a mirror!

No, I didn't cut other eyelashes!

(Checking)

You did.

No, I didn't. Check it!

- Come here and look. - What?

This one's shorter. Why you...

You're making me mad.

Why do you have to fight there?

Why did you cut my eyelashes?

Gosh, this is frustrating. She cut my eyelashes!

No.

I can't stay here with you. I'm going home.

I didn't cut it.

I'm going home.

- Let's shoot the music video. - Seriously.

Let's go. Come on.

What do you want me to do?

You'll be riding the car your sister is driving...

from the telephone pole in the back to the next one.

- I'll shoot it from far away, - Okay.

so your faces won't be seen much.

- Open the door, get out, - Wait.

- and say hello. - Our faces won't be shown?

They'll be shown on the second take.

He might not use the footage.

Is that right?

(She's nervous for some reason.)

You can drive this car.

Let's go.

I hope we look good. I should've gotten my make-up done.

Drive up to there. Say hello, then get out.

Hold the bouquet when you get out.

(Nervous)

I can't promise that you'll be in the music video.

Are you nervous?

I'm very nervous. This is the first acting of my life.

I have to drive, but do you know how nervous I am?

This is driving me nuts.

Sir.

What kind of emotion should I be feeling?

You're saying goodbye to your close friend.

Is my close friend going far away...

- or going somewhere close? - Somewhere close.

Is she my roommate or does she live alone?

- She lives alone. - I see.

I should drive with a sad feeling, right?

Okay. Got it.

Please hide.

All right. Roll camera.

Here we go.

Please start when I give you a sign.

(I'll show you.)

Okay. Here we go. Start.

(Filming the moving car from far away)

- You can't see them at all. - Not at all.

(Looking serious)

(Acting with eyes)

(But they're still filming the car only.)

- Bye. - Bye.

Okay. Take care.

Bye.

(She's acting seriously.)

(We still can't see her, but she's acting seriously.)

- They won't use the audio though. - Right.

- They won't, right? - No.

I don't think her face will be seen.

(Acting her best until the end)

- We'll do the next take. - Okay.

You'll get out of the car.

It's a close-up this time.

Okay. Come on.

(A close-up means that my face will be seen, right?)

Roll camera, please.

Roll.

Action.

Bye.

- Good luck. - Okay.

See you.

(Acting with a smile)

(She's proud of her acting.)

Okay. Cut. Good job.

- Can I get out now? - Yes.

Thank you. Okay.

(Jin Young keeps filming.)

Here we go. Action.

(Sun Young goes into the waiting room.)

(She wears the gloves as soon as she walks in.)

(What is she trying to do?)

(Next to her is all the stuff she brought.)

It's for my little sister.

I'm going to surprise you, Jin Young.

Let's see.

(She takes out plastic containers from the box.)

Goodness.

(Sun Young brought homemade food for Jin Young!)

(Three)

(Four)

(Five)

(Six)

She's really generous.

(She keeps taking out side dishes!)

She brought so much food.

She's generous because she takes after me.

Okay.

(Loaded)

Let's see.

Green onion kimchi.

That looks delicious.

Like this.

- It looks good. - It looks delicious.

(Homemade green onion kimchi)

Stir-fried zucchini.

(Stir-fried zucchini)

Seasoned spinach.

She made so much.

(It's break time for Jin Young.)

Hey, I made all this for you.

(What's all this?)

(There's a feast in the waiting room.)

I slept...

I saw this...

an hour.

at Nam Jin's music video...

- filming set. - Yes.

(At Nam Jin's music video filming set last time)

His fans made them for him.

Whenever he has a gig, they prepare a meal like that.

(A great meal prepared by the fans of a great singer!)

(Nam Jin's fan club brought homemade food to the waiting room.)

That's not easy to do.

Sending packed lunch would be amazing.

- But... - Yes.

she's actually preparing a meal there.

I saw what Nam Jin's fans prepared for him.

So I wanted to make my little sister proud.

I stayed up to prepare all this.

Sun Young cooked a lot of stuff.

(Admirable)

Stir-fried fish cake.

(Stir-fried fish cake)

(Little sister is touched.)

Seasoned skate. Your favorite.

In Jeolla Province,

you can't miss skate at a party?

It's japchae.

(Japchae)

- She made a lot of food. - That looks good.

They're all my favorite.

- I know. - I know.

She must've worked so hard.

It's hard to make that much.

- Of course. - Right?

All those foods need a lot of work.

Why did you bring so much?

For everyone...

- To share? - to share.

How can you eat alone?

They're all working hard for you.

There's no sister like me.

But you swore like that earlier?

When did I?

I heard all kinds of curses earlier.

Stop talking nonsense.

Marinated crabs.

Oh, marinated crabs too?

I cleaned the crabs.

I didn't buy clean crabs.

I cleaned them myself.

(He can't take it anymore.)

Goodness.

(Exclaiming)

Marinated crabs look good.

- Give me a plate. - Next... Hey.

- Let me have just one. - I'm not done yet.

Okay. Let me just have one.

(She can't wait anymore and tries the marinated crab.)

(Slurping)

Isn't it crazy?

One bowl of rice isn't enough for that.

Do you like it?

I knew it.

(Touched)

It's crazy.

It's crazy.

I'm not done yet.

(There's more?)

(It has only begun.)

(What is it this time?)

- And beef pancakes. - Beef pancakes.

- Pumpkin pancakes. - She also made beef pancakes.

It totally wakes me up.

An octopus restores your energy.

My goodness.

I also parboiled an octopus for you to enjoy.

(Exclaiming)

It was a living octopus.

(The table is full.)

- She also parboiled an octopus. - This is insane.

That's a southern meal.

Yes.

(Sun Young's 16 side dishes)

16 side dishes.

(Sun Young's 16 side dishes)

(Spacing out)

I've never wanted to go to the green room this badly before.

- To someone else's green room. - I know.

For her next music video,

- I should ask her to invite me. - I know.

(Jin Young's number 1 fan Sun Young's...)

This is insane.

(support for her sister)

I showed my cooking skill...

without sleeping.

This is an upgraded version of Nam Jin's meal.

There was a lot of delicious food.

I even cooked rice. Let me get you some rice.

- I cooked rice here. - Here?

I cooked rice here.

It's really good.

(Sun Young scoops rice she made in the green room.)

Freshly cooked rice is the best.

- Multi-grain rice. - It's multi-grain rice.

If she's interested,

(If she's interested,)

she could do the food truck in shooting sites.

(she could do the food truck in shooting sites.)

So...

- Oh, the catering service? - Yes.

Where staff can eat too.

If she does that, it'd thrive.

If she provides that much.

Because there's no Jeolla Province style food truck.

That would totally cheer me up.

That's enough for all the staff.

I really want to try it.

(I really want to try it.)

Yes.

Here.

(She's getting ready to eat.)

(She puts on the gloves and gets ready to eat.)

(Full of flesh)

It must be good.

(Exclaiming)

Jeolla Province style spicy marinated crab.

- Yes. It's good. - It's really good.

- My mouth is getting watery. - I know.

I can't even speak.

Do you like it?

This is insane.

You love it, don't you?

Gosh. This is so good.

It's good, isn't it?

And beef pancakes.

(Feeling proud)

She's happy to watch her sister eating.

It's so good.

(Crispy)

It's good, isn't it?

It's so good.

(Seasoned deodeok tastes just like homemade dishes.)

It's the best.

I didn't even taste it.

Is it good?

(Sun Young has a bite.)

It's not grilled. It's seasoned.

(She tries seasoned skate next.)

I got pins and needles on my legs from standing for a long time.

You're enjoying it.

One bite of each will make you full.

One bite of all side dishes.

(Give me one bite.)

Oh, this is crazy.

You love it, don't you?

Isn't it chewy?

I'm glad you like it.

There's no sister like me in the world.

Yes.

There's no sister like her.

Yes. There's no sister like her.

Shall we grill some meat?

- What? - Meat.

My goodness.

She's really going to grill meat.

(Did she even prepare meat?)

(Is she going to grill meat in a studio?)

What meat?

Beef. It's your favorite.

(She can't believe it.)

You're going to grill meat in here?

I prepared beef for you.

What is it?

It's beef cattle.

(Sun Young prepared beef to restore Jin Young's energy.)

- That's good meat. - That's good meat.

- Beef cattle? - Do you know what beef cattle are?

Beef cattle are...

brindled male cows.

(Domestic brindled male cow raised for meat)

(Just try it, Jin Young.)

Where's salt?

Don't dip it in salt.

Beef cattle are good without salt.

It's not so greasy and has just enough marbling.

It's really good.

Oh, that looks good.

Eat as much as you want. It's not fattening.

Octopus and beef are the best when you feel weak.

(She cools it and has a bite.)

It's good, isn't it?

(It's so good.)

I guess it's really good.

- It tastes like... - When you first try the beef,

you have to enjoy the natural taste of beef.

(Spinning)

(Exclaiming)

(Eating)

(Exclaiming)

It's juicy.

(Jin Young also tries a piece of juicy beef cattle.)

(Sun Young gets ready to eat.)

Look at this.

This is how I'm going to eat.

Oh, that looks really good.

(She has one big wrap.)

(Is this...)

This is good.

(a studio or a restaurant?)

(Exclaiming)

Didn't you say you were going to start a diet from today?

(Diet?)

She can't start it from today.

It's not good if you eat alone.

It's still good.

You recently had this a lot, didn't you?

No.

I had so much.

(That's nothing to be proud of.)

Is that why you're puffy?

You gained some weight.

I did.

You worked so hard.

This is nothing for my sister.

My sister is working hard day and night.

(Still eating)

It's nothing.

You're trying so hard to eat.

Yes.

Your new song...

is "Never Ever".

Yes.

With grapes...

(With grapes...)

We used to pluck...

the four-leaf clover leaves...

and see if he loves me or not.

This album...

will be a hit.

(Eating)

(Predicting with grapes all of a sudden?)

- It won't. - Wait. With grapes?

- She's going to finish it. - Is she going to finish it?

There are so many.

- There are so many grapes. - I know.

I thought she'd do it after shaking it.

- Wait. You're trying to eat grapes. - No.

You're trying to eat all of them alone. Be honest.

I don't like grapes.

It will be a hit.

It won't be a hit.

It will be a hit.

You'll get fat. Stop eating.

This album will be a hit.

It will be a hit.

I wouldn't ask for more if you top the chart.

The song is really high.

The highest pitch is...

E and F.

(It's left in my heart)

(The trace of you is left in my heart)

(Would I get to see you in my dream)

That's high.

Anyone can sing that much...

- in a karaoke. - Go.

(Are you saying this is easy?)

You have to go, "In my heart". Go.

(It's left in my heart)

(The trace of you is left in my heart)

(Would I get to see you in my dream)

See? It's nothing.

How does she make it so easy?

I can do it.

- Seriously... - Yes.

Should I go perform?

You can't do it. Don't do it.

Can you sing "Tears"?

Yes.

Of course. Who can't do that?

(Brutal)

- It's this. - Right.

Try it. You can't, can you?

Gosh, you're looking down on me.

(Will Sun Young be able...)

(to hit those notes?)

(Don't)

(Call me)

(Brutal)

(It works!)

(Can she really...)

(hit all the notes?)

(Don't forget)

(About my love)

(You are)

(A part of me)

(Gagging)

(Gagging)

(Laughing)

- She was eating something. - She was doing well.

My throat hurts.

(Giggling)

I still hit the notes, right? I did.

Nonetheless, I did it.

Gosh, my throat. I need some water.

(She's proud of herself.)

It's tough.

You're singing better since you're over 100kg.

- That's why. - I'm not over 100kg.

What's another high-pitched song?

I don't know.

(Even after 1,000 years)

(Even after 1,000 years)

Raise a key higher.

Aren't you the singer here?

I'm lost for words.

Don't call me

Raise one more key. Go.

Don't call me

Raise one more key. Go.

Don't call me

Goodness.

- They get along well together. - She's incredible.

- Really? - Yes.

I think sisters...

sure are different from brothers,

- right? - Yes.

Do you have any siblings?

- I have two brothers. - I see.

- And you're... - I'm the middle one.

I see.

My older brother and I fought often.

I rarely fought with my younger brother.

He's very softhearted.

My older brother and I have very different personalities.

He tends to abide by the rules,

and he carries the burdens...

as the eldest son.

On the other hand, I did music.

So I was a bit freer.

That's why we fought often.

How did you get into music...

and get your parents' approval?

When I was in 11th grade,

I told my parents that we needed to have a serious talk.

"Among the musicians that I know,"

"none of them went to college."

"And as we speak, there are people my age..."

"living abroad..."

"who aren't going to college and doing music on their own."

"I shouldn't be studying either."

I told them that if I lagged behind for another two years,

that the gap would be huge.

- I declared to them... - Right.

that I wasn't going to college.

My parents are really laidback,

but at that time, they were strict.

So...

"What if you fail at music?"

"You wouldn't have any other skills then."

- They said this. - They were worried.

- They wanted me to go to college. - They wanted you to study there.

After that, I was free to do whatever.

He went to Seoul National University...

just to keep his promise.

- Wait. - Is that even possible?

- No, hold on. - I mean...

He just wanted to keep his promise,

so he went there.

There's a story behind that.

I told you that my older brother and I fought often.

He's two years older than me...

and was accepted into that school.

- Up until then, - You were all smart.

I thought that school...

- With good professors. - was extremely prestigious.

But...

I deemed my brother to be the most useless.

- He... - He went there.

"He... He got in there?"

That's when...

a spark was created.

- "Hold on." - You got competitive.

Right. "He got in,"

"so I'm sure I can as well."

- I gained confidence. - That's true.

- He played a big part. - His parents...

His parents must've been...

- extremely proud. - Right.

Instead of pursuing music first, he agreed to study...

- and got into a prestigious school. - Right.

- This isn't something... - I feel embarrassed.

everyone can do.

- Right. - Really.

- Right? - You were smart to begin with.

- I really gave it my all. - That's not so easy.

After agreeing to it, I really studied a lot.

What about your younger brother?

He's very gentle.

He's a drama producer.

- Did he go to that school too? - Yes.

Goodness.

- That's wonderful. - All their sons went there.

- Your parents are amazing. - Goodness.

Like I said, they're one of a kind.

(He's embarrassed.)

(7:30am)

He should be here by now.

(A car is waiting in a dark parking lot.)

(It's Won Hee.)

It's Won Hee.

Here.

(Won Hee happily greets someone.)

- Who is it? - Who is it?

- Goodness. - Goodness.

(It's his soulmate, Seok Yong.)

It's his soulmate.

It's Jung Seok Yong.

I like seeing them together.

I could've told my manager

- to drive. - That's okay.

That was the last day of the Chuseok holiday.

- It's your first time driving me. - Really?

You're right. I never saw you drive either.

What did you do on Chuseok yesterday?

- Nothing much. - Right.

It was a small gathering. My mom, older sister,

brother-in-law, and their kids.

Only our immediate family got together.

- On Chuseok? - Yes.

Hold on.

(Rummaging)

I got this for you.

What is that?

What is that?

They're pancakes and rice cakes. Let's share them.

- Let's... - Right now?

- Have one. - No, thanks.

Just have one.

Bring them home.

They're from his mom.

(Won Hee's mom made them.)

(He eats a rice cake.)

I'll eat this one.

(Won Hee eats a meat pancake.)

- Your mom made them? - Yes.

Give that to me.

- Should I put it in the back? - Sure.

(They may bicker all the time, but Won Hee loves him.)

Whenever your family gathers during the holidays,

don't they ask you about getting married?

They always ask me if I'm seeing anyone.

Exactly. Gosh.

(He can relate.)

Right.

That's how parents are.

I hate hearing that.

I make it obvious that I don't appreciate it.

So that they won't ask again?

How do you do it? I'm curious.

I'll ask you. Hey.

Is there anyone you're seeing?

No.

That's how you do it? You refuse to converse?

(He stops them from asking more questions.)

They talk about my age and not getting married yet.

I just leave if they bring age up.

You just leave?

(So cool)

That's hilarious.

How did you end up doing a show on the radio?

(Radio?)

- Radio? - Radio?

He must have been a guest on a radio show.

- I was asked if I could do it... - Yes.

for two days during Chuseok.

It's a new experience.

Do you share traffic conditions?

Yes, you've heard radio DJs say, "we'll talk to reporter whoever"?

Yes, of course. I often listen to the traffic channel.

- It's TBS. - Right.

They have specials on traffic conditions for those going home.

(Former radio DJ)

- I tried it for an hour yesterday. - Yes.

It's different from being a guest.

It felt like three hours.

Time crawled by.

I didn't listen to it.

- You didn't? - No.

But I heard you stuttered a lot.

Since it was his first time.

DJs have a lot to worry about...

- like the time and commercials. - Right.

I may have stuttered,

but one thing many people said...

is that I have a nice voice.

It was your first time.

Do you think people would say you aren't right for it...

or to never do it again?

They're just being nice.

You know on the radio,

people say certain things like Sung Si Kyung saying...

- "good night" or "dream of me". - Right.

(A radio DJ's ending comment that makes women's hearts flutter)

(Good night)

- Listen to his voice. - That's rare.

He has a nice voice.

Yesterday, I tried something...

that wasn't in the script.

"Bye-bye".

(DJ Won Hee ended with "bye-bye".)

I said, "bye-bye".

- I plan to do it again today. - You will?

I'll end it with "bye-bye".

He didn't have to come up with it when it's only two days.

(He didn't have to come up with it when it's only two days.)

- You're on from 9 to 10am. - Yes.

That sound like something you'd say at night.

- You're right. - "See you" or "bye-bye".

Do you have anything else? I'll try it today.

Something that would sound right for 10am.

I'll try something different today since I said "bye-bye" yesterday.

(Thinking about it)

Enjoy your lunch.

Why does it sound so sleazy?

Come on. No, it isn't.

Is it not the right time to say that since it ends at 10am?

Happy lunchtime. No, that sounds weird.

Drive safely.

Isn't that too cliche?

- TBS is the traffic broadcaster. - Yes, it is.

Should I make it sound sweet?

"Drive safely". What do you think?

(Laughing)

Why do you think it has to be sweet?

- Why not? - You, sweet?

I bet people don't expect you to be sweet.

I'm the sweet type.

Why are you trying to imitate Sung Si Kyung?

He's stating painful facts.

He imitated Sung Si Kyung because he thought he was nice.

Then what should I say?

Should I go with "drive safely"?

- "Drive safely". - "Drive safely and see you later."

Like this? Okay, got it.

Why do you keep trying to sound sweet?

- Say it the way you normally talk. - All right.

"Drive safely and see you later".

- Like that? All right. - Yes.

- That doesn't sound bad. - All right.

I hope I do well since it's a live show.

We're here.

We're at the broadcasting station.

Thank you.

Come in. This is a radio broadcasting station.

This is my first time here.

I wait here...

and go in that booth later.

Do you find it interesting?

- I want to see who's in there. - Right now?

I believe it's a special DJ.

Since you're complimenting people,

why don't you introduce them one at a time?

Have a seat.

He must be nervous.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- I'm the writer. - The writer and the producer.

- She's the producer. - Hello.

First, the script.

Where do you want to start?

Do I have a script too?

You have to take a look.

- It's just to know the flow. - It's his first time...

being a guest on radio.

- It's his first time on radio. - To be live on radio?

- It's his first time. - I see.

You're fine as long as you don't swear.

Just don't swear.

It's true.

- This is the most important thing. - What?

I almost had to hand in a written apology.

(A written apology because of Won Hee?)

- Why? - What was it?

It was when you didn't say anything.

You have to say something.

How long did it last?

- It was 3 to 4 seconds. - 3 to 4 seconds?

If you send in your problems, I'll answer them right away.

Let's see what you send in. Nothing?

(1, 2 seconds...)

Is there anything?

(1, 2, 3 seconds...)

This is a mistake.

That's a huge mistake to make on radio.

That's a huge mistake.

Oh, no.

You can only hear the radio.

- It was a live show. - If you don't say anything,

the listeners will get surprised...

and feel awkward, right?

You have at least rustle papers.

"Let's see".

- Radio must be difficult. - Yes.

Being on radio is difficult.

My mind went blank at first...

and I thought I was going to pass out.

- You have to say something. - Anything.

Help him out if that happens.

I think we'll be okay.

- All right. - Pretend it's a speed quiz.

He sounds confident.

He looks relaxed.

I've never been on live radio.

Live radio is tough like that.

- All right. - This way.

Finally.

(10 minutes before going on air)

I'll be starting from here.

- Right here. - Okay.

(Slightly nervous)

(The signal noticing it's the start of the 9am show sounds.)

(Cue.)

All right.

TBS Chuseok Traffic Special.

I'm Lee Won Hee.

I didn't want this or even try to make this happen, but we

become the perfect duo. I have actor Jung Seok Yong here with me.

- Welcome. - Hello, I'm actor Jung Seok Yong.

It's good to have you here.

I didn't know this,

but I heard it's your first time on radio.

- Yes, it's my first time ever. - Even as a guest?

Yes, that's right.

Do you see the "Seeing Radio"?

- Yes. - We're being aired there.

- I hope we look good. - I'm sure we do.

- Many people will enjoy it. - We don't get many texts.

Come on.

We are getting a lot.

Several people said they're happy that you're here.

Some might feel bad for us.

While they are sleeping in during a holiday,

we are here working.

Many people must be thinking that.

I don't feel that sad about this. What do you think?

I feel bad for you,

but you don't have to feel bad for me.

I'm not pathetic.

- What would you say about yourself? - Me?

I'm outgoing, I have many friends...

I heard you had a drink by yourself three times a week.

I rarely drink alone.

Did you drink alone again this week?

- Yes, I did. - I'm sorry.

What about your health are you worried about?

I have a high liver somatic index.

That worries me.

Of course it is since you drink like that.

Yes, but you aren't much better.

- You drink a lot too. - Right.

You should think about your health...

- and drink less. - Drink less?

Yes, we should.

- They're good. - They're good.

They're good at it.

Someone called you Seok Dragon.

That's you, right?

Yes, I think so.

Seok Dragon is a pretty good nickname.

Seok Dragon.

For Seok Yong?

Look at this.

2817 said "Won Hee, you sound young on the radio".

These are the compliments I get.

That means you don't look young.

Of course.

I hope you win the Best Couple Award at the Entertainment Awards.

That was from 0562.

We have no control over that.

- That's right. - Yes.

They're both good.

They were nervous at first,

- but they're relaxed now. - That's right.

They're like a comical duo.

8471 said...

"I remember you were very funny on TV.

I'm a fan of yours. You're the idol of single men".

(You're the idol of single men.)

"You're impressive. You're a great actor".

- Thank you. - I'm not sure...

if we should be happy about being the idol of single men.

It's good in a way.

We have a song request.

(Meanwhile, they get a song request.)

Let's listen to a song.

Just suppose you've become a DJ.

- How about introducing the song? - The song?

He'll introduce the song. Go on.

Here's the song.

It's "Luxurious Singles" by Yang Hye Seung.

(He feels embarrassed.)

("Luxurious Singles")

All right.

("Luxurious Singles")

(They work even during the holidays.)

(We're luxurious singles)

Today is the last day of the holidays.

I hope we made you laugh...

and feel happy.

If we did, there's nothing more we can ask for.

- Thank you for coming today. - Goodness.

Thank you, Seok Dragon.

It's time to say goodbye.

Have a good day.

I'm Im Won Hee, the actor.

Have a delicious lunch.

We'll meet again next time.

(I told you not to sound like that.)

Why did he close his eyes?

Have a delicious lunch.

(He closes his eyes.)

(The live radio show comes to an end.)

(11:30am)

Gosh, good work.

Good work.

(They decide to spend more time together.)

That was wonderful experience.

- Really? - Yes.

In the beginning, I was so tense.

- You were? Really? - Yes.

My lips were frozen.

As the emcee, it's even worse.

You look very worn out.

- I did it for two days straight. - I know.

My legs gave out.

- Gosh. - I'm totally exhausted.

He was focused the entire time...

- Right. - because he was still new at it.

Hey, you haven't been here in a while, right?

This is my first time this year.

Do you know what that table is?

Do you see that table in the back?

It looks new.

Our queen,

Hee Seon, made that.

She came here.

(Hee Seon made that table?)

Hee Seon.

(Hee Seon made that table?)

She made it. It's precious.

It's not like any other table out there.

- It's precious. - Wait.

She made that for you?

We did it together.

She was good at it.

It's very precious.

Goodness, that's a family heirloom right there.

Hee Seon made that table.

Were you guys that close?

I'm just saying that she dropped by to make that.

I have a daily routine of coming out here.

(He keeps bragging.)

I have this.

This is nice.

- It'll be hot and nice. - Wait.

- Right? - It's cool now since fall's coming.

Do you want to eat outside?

- Sure. - Let's eat.

I'll reheat some japchae...

and make some pancake stew.

- I'll cook various things. - Pancake stew sounds nice.

It does, but would you like to make them?

I can't cook.

- I only know how to eat. - You really don't want to cook.

(Won Hee's mom made the japchae and the pancakes.)

(They'll be making pancake stew with them.)

That looks delicious.

His mom must've made them for him.

That hurts.

That hurts.

He gets hurt all the time.

Should we go out and eat?

- It feels like a play. - You're right.

They're so fun.

It won't take long to boil.

It's okay. Take your time.

You said you were learning how to play the guitar.

Did you improve a lot?

I'm consistently playing.

It's been nine months already.

I'm gradually getting better.

(Ding)

(Let's look at his guitar skills.)

(Playing)

(Playing)

(Playing)

(He's mesmerized.)

(Was that not good?)

- Hey. - Do you know how to play it?

I just played...

back in school...

when I was a student.

- We all learned back then. - Right.

We all wanted to look cool.

You're right.

I never got the chance back then.

I'd play the guitar by myself in our club room.

I'd sing along as well.

Right.

- And then... - Then the female students...

- "What are you doing?" - No.

- No? - They'd say,

"It sounds so nice to hear you sing from outside."

"It's better than watching you play."

("It's better than watching you play.")

- Really? - Yes.

How could they say that to your face?

- What? - That's too harsh.

Our club was quite laidback.

(He was understanding.)

I was close with class of year '95.

- You studied with them. - And...

they talked like that.

Well, I guess...

that's how you guys had fun.

We were very close together.

Do you call them campus couples?

- I was one as well. - You were?

Yes.

Just once.

I guess...

you had a fabulous past.

Yes, back in the day.

(But it's all in the past now.)

When it comes to holidays...

I'm glad that the situation these days is like this.

Why?

Every time families gather,

they ask the same questions.

I hate those questions too.

They always ask, "Are you seeing anyone?"

"What are you doing at that age?"

"Do you even want to have a family?"

They have a list of questions.

But you've had a family before.

(But you've had a family before.)

- Gosh. - How was it back then?

Did the holidays make you happy?

(He's genuinely curious.)

Celebrating the holidays as a family...

is half-good and half-bad.

There are some nice things about celebrating it together.

I'd have to visit my wife's family.

- And... - You must've visited them.

Right.

How was it?

It's half and half. There are both pros and cons.

- But then again, - There are both sides.

I bet you barely remember any...

- since it's been so long. - It's been about seven years.

It's been ages. Oh, no.

(He reheats his mom's japchae.)

Most of our family members have gotten married already.

Right.

(He tries to flip it.)

I think they all feel the same way.

(Struggling)

Goodness.

He needs to watch out.

(He's so stiff.)

Fresh japchae tastes the best.

(Won Hee's mom made this.)

It's not that old, though.

- All right. - If you put some meat...

in kimchi stew, it tastes good.

The pancakes feel greasy if you have them for some time.

- Right. - So that's a good way to eat them.

Should we eat outside or in here?

- We should use the table. - It's still too hot outside.

It's hot? We can bring that inside.

Oh, can we?

- Of course. - It's huge.

- Okay. - Should I go in first?

He's bringing it back inside?

(They carefully move the table.)

Set it like this.

- The chairs too. - I see.

All right. I'll sit here.

- Like this? - Yes, later.

It's so hot.

That's hot.

Did she give you this as well?

What?

That? That's mine.

Is it?

(He thought it was hers since Won Hee kept bragging.)

Japchae and pancake stew are enough, right?

- Of course. - Okay.

- Here. - What about rice?

Rice? Right, you like rice.

I need to make some. Darn it.

(How could he not make any?)

Of course, you need rice.

- What about microwavable rice? - I don't have any.

Goodness, that startled me.

- Goodness. - Oh, dear.

(He's such a scaredy-cat.)

I must be worn out to be so easily startled.

Why do those things only happen to him? Gosh.

I feel bad for him.

This is more than enough.

Eat first. I'll make some rice.

(He tries the pancake stew.)

(Slurping)

Do you need a ladle?

Does the stew lack something?

It was fine when I tasted it.

- Is it bad? - What is this?

- Is it that bad? - No.

- Then? - It's lacking something.

I made it in a hurry, so I must've missed something.

- There's no artificial seasoning. - I didn't add any.

- Add a bit. - Of artificial seasoning?

You're not that good of a cook to exclude that.

Seriously.

Add about one-third of a spoonful.

- This much? - That's...

- Is it too much? - I think you could add more.

- It's enough. It'll get too bitter. - Okay.

I get the umami taste.

It's better.

- It's better, right? - It's much better.

- Really? - This is good.

- Okay. - It's done.

I'm serious. It's good.

He's so hilarious.

- It'll taste spicy. - It's perfect.

It'll taste... How do I put it?

- It'll taste spicy. - It does.

- Good work. - You too.

Thanks to you, I got to appear on a radio show.

(Exclaiming)

It's nice.

- I'll give you some. - You have to drink after work.

- They are drinking makgeolli. - They are drinking makgeolli again.

They fixed the meal...

- to drink makgeolli. - That's why they fixed the meal.

It's an afterparty.

Right.

Let's try japchae.

(Slurping japchae)

(Hungry, Won Hee and Seok Yong eat hurriedly.)

I have some leftover...

jeon at home. I should cook them this way too.

(It's the breakfast of the bachelors on the last day of the holiday.)

(They look pitiful.)

(Hesitating)

Actually, I've been unsure about whether or not to talk about this.

What is it?

- What is it? - I saw it on TV.

See What?

I saw you going on a blind date.

The blind date.

Did you envy me? What did you think?

- How did you feel? - I didn't exactly envy you.

Did you feel bad for the lady?

No. No. We shouldn't...

compare two people and say who's better.

Right. Let's think it that way.

But... I thought...

- What is it? Be honest. - she was too pretty.

(She was too pretty.)

So he thinks she's too good for him.

(He thinks she's too good for him.)

- It's nice that she's pretty. - But?

But she's too pretty.

She's out of my league is what you want to say.

- I think it's too hard for you. - She's too up there.

- That's the impression I got. - That's the impression you got.

Why does he think like that?

Honestly...

(It would've been good if she was moderately pretty.)

She's too pretty.

But what happened?

What should I say? Honestly, I don't know.

How should I say?

- I want you to be honest with me. - It paused.

- I just... - Be honest with me.

(It paused.)

But you haven't made any progress.

We didn't do anything.

We didn't make any progress.

- It paused? - What paused?

I don't know.

There's a bit of hesitation.

Is it COVID-19 that got in the way?

(COVID-19 got in the way of their open-ending blind date.)

Level 2.5 separated us.

That's what's going on right now.

It's not completely over.

It paused.

It's ended.

That's what pause means.

It means it's stopped. It's over.

You've lived your whole life as a bachelor.

So you must feel the same on every Chuseok.

What's certain is that as I get older,

holidays become less enjoyable.

I...

You must've experienced different kinds of holidays.

(You must've experienced different kinds of holidays.)

I am just old. But you...

(Laughing)

You experienced holidays during marriage,

- after divorce, - Right.

- and before marriage. - Right.

You must've experienced about 5 or 6 kinds of holidays.

Right. I've experienced many kinds of holidays.

Won Hee experienced many kinds of holidays,

and so did Jang Hoon.

Yes.

How was it?

I don't know. I don't remember much about it.

People say we are forgetful, but he's even worse than us.

I can only imagine what it would be like.

After I got divorced, I stopped visiting family on holidays.

- Right. - I don't celebrate it.

I just celebrate it at home. I don't go anywhere.

I don't want to hear people talking about me.

It's best not to go. That's best.

It's useless to go on about this.

But I thought about this.

If I ever get married again,

what would Chuseok be like then?

I thought about that.

Wouldn't it be better than now?

I failed once. So I have know-hows.

There's that.

Won Hee is showing...

his strong will...

- Right. - to remarry.

Of course.

I never thought I would get this old.

Everyone must feel the same.

I thought I wouldn't be like this at the age of 50.

Age is just a number, but... I didn't know I would age like this.

Do you think there are many people...

who get to live as a bachelor until this age?

There are many people.

(There's one here.)

Do you think that's something to be proud of?

I'm not saying I'm proud of it.

- Some might envy us. - What?

Some might envy us.

Someone said something during the radio show.

- It's... - What was it?

- Single people's what? - Idol.

(They are idols to single people.)

- That really cracked me up. - That...

That cheered me up. We are idols to single people.

Idols to single people.

"Why bother to get married again?" Some might say that.

- "I'll just live..." - A lot of people are like that.

(They are idols to single people.)

I hope so.

Even they didn't experience what we experienced.

I hope they won't judge us so easily.

For no reason, they think we are pitiful.

- Right. Why... - And pathetic.

- Why would they think that? - They think that.

- Why would they think that? - Right?

We get to enjoy what they can't enjoy.

When you get married or are in a relationship,

you have to get permission to buy something you want.

There's that, you know. You must remember what it was like.

- It's... - I can't remember it too well.

You can't do everything you want to.

Even if you want to eat something, you can't.

- That's one. - That's one of the things.

Small things like that.

You feel like going hiking, but...

I love that I can buy whatever I want to buy.

I can buy whatever. You see that guitar? I have two more.

I can't play it, but I just bought it.

I spent a lot and just bought it.

You get to buy whatever you like.

You don't need to put up with nagging.

You can't get married if you think about that!

(She's sad.)

I went to Hwanghak-dong recently.

- You went again? - Again. I bought this.

- You bought that? - I spent a lot on it.

(He brags about it.)

- What is that? - My goodness.

What is that now?

Is that a clock?

Right. People might not know what it is. What do you think?

- You can't tell, right? - Isn't it a clock?

What is that?

Is it a clock?

Can you tell time?

That's a clock.

Anyway, it's...

- It's a clock. - It's a weighing scale.

A weighing scale.

(It's a weighing scale.)

It's a weighing scale.

(He's impressed.)

I get to just buy this regardless of the price.

(A bachelor can flex.)

How many grams is that?

I just bought it. It's like that.

It's a weighing scale.

That looks quite expensive.

- But... - How much is that?

- Are you curious? - It's...

- Is that too much? - No.

What's another 150-dollar thing that can make us so happy?

- Right. It's not easy to find that. - Yes.

I didn't haggle.

Why haggle?

- Isn't it better? - Right.

(Min Seok moves out!)

(The sons of My Little Old Boy gather upon hearing the news.)

(It's nice!)

(They start getting jealous.)

(Potential Tenant 1)

(Potential Tenant 2)

(The parasites fight to be the tenant.)

(You want me to rent out each room?)

(We might end up laughing aloud.)
