Original subtitles

One, two, three.

That was cool.

What is this?

Open wide.

I couldn't be happier.

I'm happy too.

Hye-jin.

Hye-jin?

You're happy?

Do you think you deserve to be happy?

Chief Hong.

Chief Hong?

What's wrong?

Was it a nightmare?

Yes, a nightmare.

A very bad one.

Goodness.

Were you scared by a nightmare?

It's all right. They say nightmares are signs that you'll grow taller.

What time is it?

About 4:30 a.m.

What?

Why are you here so early? Is something up?

EPISODE 12

No way.

The sun has already risen?

Yes, see how bright it is.

Damn it. I wanted to watch the sunrise with you.

The forecast said we'd have a clear sky.

Weather by the shore is always unpredictable.

What's with the sudden urge to see the sunrise?

I just wanted to.

-Shall we come again tomorrow? -Again? Tomorrow?

Yes, let's come here every morning

until we finally see a clear sunrise.

Hold on. Look over there.

Can't you see the sun behind the clouds?

Where?

Open your eyes wide and look carefully.

Don't you see reddish colors spreading?

I don't.

You need to focus as if you're looking at autostereograms.

Look.

I really don't see it.

I knew there wasn't anything there!

No, look. Right over there.

-You can't see a thing! -Look.

YOON DENTAL CLINIC

What are you working so hard on?

Well, it's this.

Ta-da.

What's this? "100 Things I Want to Do with My Boyfriend"?

A bucket list.

Seriously? No one makes lists like this these days.

-What? -And in Excel?

You know how I give it my best and then some when starting a new thing.

Besides, it's fun.

But you're missing the most important thing.

What's that?

Going all the way.

Gosh, you're gross.

Go all the way.

Come on. Stop saying that.

You know, we're trying to get to know each other very slowly.

Connecting our souls comes first.

That's ridiculous.

The end goal to a romantic relationship is lovemaking.

Platonic love has nothing on eros.

Unbelievable.

-Is anybody here? -Coming!

She can be such a pervert sometimes.

Eros?

DRYING EACH OTHER'S HAIR, BEING UNDER THE SAME UMBRELLA…

Ms. Yeo!

Goodness, Bo-ra. Do you have no homework today? Why are you so excited?

No, that's not it.

I-jun won a prize!

What?

Goodness.

Let me see.

I won the silver prize at the mathematics competition.

I can see that.

Chang I-jun in Class One, Grade Two of Cheongjin Elementary School.

My son, Chang I-jun. This is amazing!

I-jun, you did great.

I'm proud of you.

I-jun, aren't you happy about winning this prize?

I am.

Ms. Yeo, this is I-jun being really happy.

His mouth is usually…

like this.

But now, the corners of his lips are slightly raised.

Is that so? I-jun, did you tell your dad?

-No. -Then tell him yourself.

I'll video call him for you.

Gosh.

Have you lost your mind?

Why are you spooking me with a video call--

Hey, I-jun! It's Dad.

Did you ask your mom to make a video call for you?

Dad, I won a prize at the mathematics competition.

What? You won a prize at the mathematics competition?

My gosh. I must've given birth to a genius!

-I'm the one who gave birth to him. -Well, I contributed.

Watch your mouth in front of him.

Anyway, make some time this weekend for I-jun's party.

Right. Of course.

I-jun, we'll get together this weekend and have a feast. Okay?

Sure.

Good going, my boy. I'll see you then!

Ms. Yeo, look at him. You can see that he's smiling.

Yes, I see.

No, I'm not.

Yes, you are.

The smile's even bigger now.

My gosh.

Mr. Chang!

Yong-hun, hear this. I-jun won a prize

at the mathematics competition.

That's great! You must be so proud of him.

Let me reward you for having a great son then.

What? How?

They say it's good for the joints.

You had it rough when you pulled your back a while ago.

Gosh.

Hold on. Why are you giving me this though?

Just go ahead and try it first.

Do you already feel better?

I get it.

I know why you're doing this.

What do you mean?

This is because of the Best Employee Award, right?

You idiot. I'm not the one who decides who gets it.

The residents will vote on it. How stupid can you be?

You got me.

Still, make sure you drink these.

Guys, my I-jun…

Chief Hong, how about a cup of coffee?

Sounds good.

-I'll go get it. -Sure.

You're a life-saver, Chief Hong.

-Nonsense. -Will you help for a few more days?

Of course. One shouldn't bother picking up a saw

if he's not going to at least build a table.

Are you throwing those out?

Yes, that's right.

What a waste. Some of them even have growth ring patterns.

Chief Hong!

You're home!

You came in without permission again?

Pay rent if you'll keep doing it.

Maybe I will.

Anyway, go wash up.

Wash up?

-Yes. -Why?

There's something we must do today.

Is this what you meant?

Yes, through couples yoga,

we can build intimacy and enhance our flexibility.

I bet it's ended a few relationships.

It's tough, that's all.

Unbelievable.

Fine.

-Next pose. -Could we please stop?

-Our knees-- -But I'm exhausted.

Bend your knees and let the soles of our feet meet.

You're completely ignoring me.

That's it. Then we look each other in the eye.

-Right. -Now, grab my wrists.

-Like this? -Hold my wrists

and gradually straighten this leg.

-One, two, three! -Straighten my leg?

No, I can't! God, it hurts!

This is just wrong.

I just pulled something.

-You pulled something? -It hurts like crazy.

There. Now it's back to normal.

All right, fine. Sit with your legs crossed next.

And face me.

Is this another yoga pose?

Yes. We'll meditate.

Place your hands on your knees.

Close your eyes and focus on your breathing.

This is my favorite pose.

You look so much like a dog.

-A dog? -That's right. A big one.

With your fair skin and double eyelids.

Like a countryside mutt.

Oh, that kind of dog.

Meanwhile, you're more like a cat,

but there are hints of a dog too. You're mixed in between.

Am I a "cat-dog" then?

-Right. -You're killing me.

Look at your adorable dimple.

You also have dimples too.

Yours are deeper.

Yours are cuter and deeper.

Gosh.

I haven't brushed my teeth.

I don't care.

Let's brush our teeth.

-Together? -Yes.

We'll do it together?

Wait, my knee really hurts.

-I have a question. -Okay.

What on earth are we doing?

What do you mean? We're brushing our teeth.

I know, but why are you brushing my teeth for me?

Isn't this romantic?

This? How so?

You just don't know yet.

Once we get used to it, it'll be as sweet as strawberries.

Since we're at it,

let's do it properly. Here.

Hey, you're getting it all over!

Well, my gums are bleeding.

My gosh, Chief Hong.

No wonder I was getting a bitter taste.

You've been making me bleed often these days.

Sorry.

No, that's enough.

Don't you dare propose anything weird like this again. Stop.

No way.

Ouch, ouch, does your teeth hurt?

-Orange candy-- -That's enough.

Come on. Clean teeth are key to longevity.

-Really? -How adorable.

-No way. -Chief Hong, please try this on.

-I don't want to. -Won't it be cute?

-Take a look. -Where do you get these things?

Okay, fine. Give it here.

There's nothing I can do. It's up there now.

-Try it on just once. -Seriously?

-Please try it on. -But I don't want to!

I really don't want to.

You're so annoying.

There's no need to get upset though.

-Will you put it on? -No.

Hold on. Just give me a second.

Wait. You can't take it just yet.

Putting makeup on a pumpkin?

Did you call me a pumpkin?

I mean, I find pumpkins just so round and adorable.

You're already so pretty. This will make you even prettier.

You have no idea.

I'm sure Ju-ri will speak casually to me tomorrow.

"Hi, Hye-jin."

She'll think I'm her age!

She speaks casually to everyone in Gongjin.

You're right.

-I'll apply some on you too. -No way.

-Why not? -Let's take the photo.

Get ready in one, two, three.

One, two, three.

I must ask. What's with that sound?

-It's fun. -Okay, I love it.

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

One, two, three.

Yippy.

See? It looks nothing like that old TV show.

We look great in this one. Cute, right?

Yes.

Are you all right?

A middle schooler can handle it.

It's cute.

-The photos are cute. -They are.

What else should we do? Buy groceries and cook?

Read comic books?

What are you? A long-lasting battery?

Do you run on batteries? Let me see.

Are you tired?

I surely am.

Why don't we do nothing?

We'll sit here and rest.

Is there nothing you wish to do with me?

What? I didn't mean it like that.

I'm going home.

Come on. Don't go.

-No, I'm heading home. Bye. -Hey.

What's this?

-Give that back. -"See the sunrise together,

couples yoga, give boyfriend a shave,

-go to restaurants--" -Give it back.

You wanted to do all these with me?

You even marked the ones we already did.

Forget it. Just give it back.

Let's do all of them.

What?

How can I not cave in when you're this cute?

-Really? -Yes.

What should we do first? Should we do them from top to bottom?

Wait, not today.

How about we go on a date to Seoul next weekend?

A date?

Yes, a date.

Let's go.

-Really? -Sure.

Brace yourself because we'll be ticking a lot off the list.

Prepare yourself.

You can take your time, you know.

Don't rush it.

Let's do everything on the list from top to bottom together for a long time.

Sounds good.

Like this and like that.

There.

Thanks, Dad.

I-jun, eat your fill.

Order more if you want. It'll be my treat today.

You talk big when it's just tonkatsu.

It's called pork cutlet.

Besides, I-jun ordered it,

unlike you who had to order expensive steak.

So? Does it feel like a waste?

I didn't say that.

Just get eating.

Mom.

Yes, I-jun. Is there something you'd like to say?

Can I have a pet hedgehog?

A hedgehog?

Gosh, I-jun. Do you want a hedgehog?

Yes, Dr. Yoon has been taking care

of the hedgehog Bo-ra adopted.

I was going to ask Mom for permission

once I won the prize.

I see.

Sure thing. We'll do it. Bring the hedgehog home.

-Really? -Of course.

But I-jun, know that I'm not allowing it because you won a prize.

It's because you want it, that's all.

We're not having a party because you won a prize either.

What are you saying? I thought that's what this is for.

We're not.

I-jun, I'm so proud that you won the prize.

But we would be still doing this even if you hadn't.

What we're celebrating is the fact that you worked hard.

To me, that's more important than the prize itself.

I understand, Mom.

That's right, I-jun. You don't have to get good grades.

All I want is for you to have a happy childhood.

Says the man who told the whole neighborhood.

I hear you told Yong-hun.

That's because I was proud…

How do you know that though?

Just eat the damn food.

The damn food?

-Did you just say "damn"? -I didn't.

-You just said-- -Sorry.

"Sorry"?

-Is it good? -It is.

Is it good? Really? Then eat your fill.

Eat as much as you want.

-Hye-jin. -Hello.

-Are you going to work? -Yes.

You two must be here to shoot the show.

Yes, we made it here early.

It's so hot these days, so be careful with heat stroke. Both of you.

I will. Thanks.

I'll get going then.

Have a good day, and don't skip your meals.

-Right. You too. -See you.

-Bye. -Have a good day.

Dr. Yoon!

Hi, kids. You must be off to school.

Yes. But you know what? I-jun won a prize at the mathematics competition.

Really? Congratulations.

So Bo-ra wasn't kidding about you acing 100 tests.

Thank you.

I still lack in many ways though,

so I'll keep applying myself to my studies.

You'll apply yourself?

Anyway, his mom said he could raise Seumseum at home.

Really? When will you take it home then?

What is it? Are you sad to see it go?

A little.

But I can't possibly fight with kids over a hedgehog.

I was only its temporary guardian,

and I'm sure they'll take good care of it.

Besides, Seumseum

still raises its quills when I try to touch it.

Come to think of it, you're no longer like a hedgehog.

What?

I mean, you used to raise your sharp quills.

But you don't raise them anymore even when I pat you.

That's not funny.

You've changed a lot.

You're not the same person you used to be.

-How have I changed? -What?

Do I look different?

Well, what I meant is--

Gosh, I'm tired. The kids must be here. I'll get it.

-But I-- -Wait, I should take this with me.

Seumseum doesn't like it when it's cold.

The ideal temperature is 26°C,

so always spread the blanket under it.

Bo-ra and I-jun must be happy to have a new friend.

You have no idea, Uncle Du-sik. I'll hang out at I-jun's place every day.

You already do.

Whatever. I'll still come over every day.

Sure.

We'll come by your place with Seumseum often as well.

Okay. Come by Uncle Du-sik's though.

It has become my den these days.

What, are you forming a group now?

Come over if you want. I'll make something delicious.

I'd appreciate assorted tripe and pork rinds.

Noted.

I see you don't have the palate of a regular second grader.

Bo-ra's one to enjoy byproducts.

I see. How commendable.

-So everyone is here. -Yes.

First, thank you all for attending the emergency neighborhood meeting.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

What's so urgent that you had to gather all these busy people?

If you hadn't interrupted, we'd be done by now.

What is it, then? The curiosity is killing me.

Exactly. What's going on?

It's just that Director Ji asked for a favor.

-What? -Director Ji?

For the next episode, we're hoping to treat the village elders

to a meal.

-A meal? -Yes.

JUNE and In-u will cook themselves, and we're thinking of inviting five people.

-Five? -Yes.

And JUNE wants Ms. Gam-ri to be one of them.

He enjoyed her meal last time.

I love how the young man thinks.

Tell me about it. Anyway, could you decide

on the other four that are suitable for TV?

Four? Sure thing.

Anyway, that's why Ms. Gam-ri is already on the list.

Goodness. That really isn't necessary.

It'll already be my second time on TV!

But you love it!

Director Ji put me in charge of deciding on the other four.

-Me! -Me!

-Me! -I'm Oh Yoon, remember?

-Me! -Come on!

Everybody, just calm down.

Of course I should be on that list. I'm the village chief.

Don't be ridiculous. The filming takes place in zone five,

so the zone chief in her third term should be invited.

You're too SSS all the time to be suitable for any variety show.

SSS? What's that?

Strict, stern, and serious. SSS.

How can you be on TV when you don't know this stuff?

TV shows need a fun chatterbox like me in order to get good ratings.

-She's not wrong. -What can bring good ratings?

-A celebrity, of course. -A celebrity?

-Dad, please. -I'm Oh Yoon.

Once people hear about it,

articles will flood portal sites and the show will be the talk of any town.

No. No way!

-It should be me. -Why?

The show takes place in Gongjin,

so a native should appear on it.

-Just a second. -No!

I should make an appearance and prove that even grannies can be pretty.

-You're not wrong, but-- -When it comes to looks, I'm your man.

If it weren't for Du-sik's unnecessary good looks,

I'd be considered handsome when taken a closer look.

Worrying about our unborn child taking after you

keeps me up at night.

-You sleep perfectly fine. -Me!

My baby's due soon, and being on the show

will be a huge gift to the baby.

-Don't you agree? -I want to be on TV too!

I'm the DOS fan here. I even know their songs.

Please come back, just a feeling

So you're saying you all want to be on the show.

-Me! -No, me!

-It should be me. -No, me!

-Do you have something to say? -Count me out.

-What? -Same here.

I'm good as well.

-There you go. -We have a better chance!

Apart from the three of them, everyone wants to be on the show.

Yes, me!

-There's only one option then. -What is it?

The fairest way that no one will argue about.

We'll draw names!

-What? -Unbelievable.

-Seriously? -It should be me.

-No way. -This is wrong.

Hold on a second. Ms. Yeo, you shouldn't be up there.

How can a candidate take part in the drawing process?

Chief Hong is the host, and I'm only his assistant.

If I cheat, I swear I'll discard my family name.

-Gosh. -Fine.

We'll then decide the four residents

that will join Ms. Gam-ri on her adventure.

Who is the first resident to be on The Seashore Grasshopper?

The anticipation is real, so please give me some silence.

-First… -Unbelievable.

-The star of Gongjin-dong. -That's right.

-Oh… -It's me!

Chun-jae.

-Oh Yoon in the house! -Congrats.

-Neener-neener -What the hell?

Ju-ri, Daddy will be on TV!

You're annoying like hell!

Let me now draw the second name.

-All right. -The second name.

I have the piece of paper.

She's known to be quick-witted.

-Then it's me. -No, it's me.

Cho Nam-suk!

Goodness! What a wonderful evening it is.

I'll introduce Gongjin to the world!

Congratulations. Let me now draw the third name.

The third person will be…

This person has been busy with work these days.

-Right. -A person who works hard.

It sure has been exhausting. Thank you, my friend.

Right. It's Ham Yun-gyeong!

This is freaking amazing!

Honey, what…

The delinquent in her speaks.

-My goodness. I guess I got carried away. -My gosh.

Anyway, thank you. My unborn child will love it.

I'm sorry, kids.

-We only have one name left. -The last.

The last person.

-The man of the hour. -Exactly.

-It has to be Ju-ri. -Drum roll!

-Please let it be me. -I can't wait to see who it is myself.

-Please. -Who will it be?

-Let me see. -It must be me.

-Darn it. -What?

Why did it have to be Chang Yeong-guk?

-What? -What the hell?

Me? Is it really me?

This is exactly why one should be kind and generous.

-Unbelievable! -Yes, it's you.

-You must be thrilled. -I am.

-No way. I won't allow it. -Seriously.

The filming will soon begin. Don't be nervous,

-and just act like you normally do. -Right.

Why are you all so nervous?

Everybody, relax your facial muscles.

It's my second time being on TV, right?

So I'm not nervous at all.

That pill…

I'm not nervous at all.

This is nothing compared to when I talk with the mayor.

-What's he looking at? -I'm Oh Yoon.

Did you know that I once performed at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena?

Follow my lead.

You can worry about everyone else, but not me.

Honestly, I couldn't… be calmer.

-I'm fine. -Come on, Yun-gyeong.

Loosen up a bit.

-Honey. -Yes?

What if I go into labor while filming?

That won't happen.

Why are you all nervous?

-Gosh. -I won't, right?

Chief Hong, will our show be all right?

I'm not sure.

-All right. -Here we go.

Yes, don't worry.

-Hello. -Hi.

-I'm the village chief. -Hello.

My gosh!

Goodness.

-What is it? -Are you all right?

I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry about that. -Goodness.

All right.

It's good.

-Yes, it's good. -I know.

How is it?

-Are you asking me? -Yes.

Well, it's delicious.

I can taste the flavors of the Gongjin sea

even though it's pork belly.

She seems so nervous.

-Isn't it so hot, by the way? -It is.

I even had my hair done, but now I'm sweating like crazy.

Do I still look okay? My hair should stay up.

I feel like my hair isn't how it's supposed to be.

Nam-suk, lower your arms!

Let's go!

-Lower them. -Don't worry.

-Your shirt is wet. -Good luck to you too.

Oh, no. Nam-suk…

-This is pajeon. -Goodness.

Eat it while it's hot.

-Gosh, it looks great. -Thank you.

-It's your favorite. -Exactly.

-Please enjoy. -Please enjoy.

-Shit, that's hot as hell. -Goodness.

Sorry about that.

We'll have to edit that out.

Can't we beep it out?

Anyway, thank you so much for having us over.

These are crabs that I marinated myself.

Not everyone gets to eat that.

-Thank you. -Let's get a shot of that later.

Thank you, Ms. Kim.

Thank you.

A gathering like this wouldn't be complete without a few tunes.

Let me sing a song for my fellow singers here.

-Is he a singer? -Which one's the main camera?

It's on you, so act naturally.

-Chun-jae, go ahead. -Right.

He's a singer, you know.

I can't contain this feeling…

-Go, Chun-jae! -Recently, I've done you wrong so often.

Why? I'm loving this.

It's raw and authentic.

Even Nam-suk?

Brings me to tears

-I'll edit well. -Please do.

-Go, Chun-jae. -She's too sweet, you see.

-Go, Chun-jae! -She keeps raising her arms to cheer.

Come on in.

It was exhausting, wasn't it?

How was the shoot?

Philosophically speaking, one's dignity was thrown out the window.

But as variety shows go, it'll be fun.

It must've been rough out in the sun.

Come on. Let me give you a hug.

It wasn't that exhausting, but still…

You did great.

Hey, Mi-seon.

You guys are super annoying.

Mi-seon, I…

Gosh.

Unbelievable. Hye-jin is just head over hells.

Damn lovebirds.

I really should get my own place.

Eun-cheol.

Ms. Pyo?

Where are you going alone?

I had to escape a pair of cockroaches in my place.

Cockroaches? I'll kill them for you right away.

No, that's not what I meant.

Their rate of reproduction is no joke.

If you let them be, they could conquer the world.

-I meant Hye-jin and Chief Hong. -Sorry?

I left the house because I couldn't stand their displays of affection.

I see.

Then where are you headed?

To the rotisserie chicken truck.

I saw it on my way home from work.

Then let me escort you there.

-Shall we? -Sure.

Watch your step.

It's a little uncomfortable here.

Why don't we just go to your place?

Actually, I have to go now. There's an after-party.

I see. Will Seong-hyeon be there too?

Of course.

How is he doing?

What? Why do you ask?

I ran into him the other day, and he seemed gaunt.

Did you see him? When?

I met him briefly on my way to work the other day.

I see.

He told me not to skip meals with his usual smile,

but he looked quite drawn, and I felt bad.

I didn't notice.

No, he definitely looked gaunt.

Look out for Seong-hyeon when you see him today.

If you order fried chicken, give him a drumstick.

What about me then? Should I nibble on the neck?

Gosh. I didn't mean it like that. I really didn't.

-I-- -Forget it.

Why not look out for him yourself? Why ask me to do it for you?

Give him both drumsticks.

Actually, debone them for him while you're at it.

-Are you upset? -Why would I be?

I'm just making a reasonable suggestion.

You're worrying about another man in front of your boyfriend,

so you should just tend to him yourself.

Honestly, I'm fine with it.

That's not what I meant. It's not what I meant at all.

-Whatever. I'll be off. -Wait, Chief Hong!

That's not what…

What did I do wrong?

I only meant…

You'll have to wait five minutes for them to be cooked perfectly.

Yes, that's fine. I'll wait. I'll be taking two.

-Two? -Yes.

Got it.

Eun-cheol, one's for you. You can take it home.

No, I'm good.

Please take it since we share a fond memory over it.

We do?

-How come? -It's the first gift you ever got me.

Yes, but I bought it with the 5,000 won I won with the lottery ticket you gave me.

Exactly. So what do you think my buying one for you now means?

Well…

I have no idea.

How dense can he be?

You're frustrated too, aren't you? He's so dense.

"It's not that I don't like you.

I just want to get to know you slowly."

I didn't want to forget it, so I even memorized it.

So you made out what I said that day?

Of course.

How can you give up just because I played hard to get?

I never gave up! At times I can be…

a bit slow.

I'm not very smart,

so I studied 15 hours a day for 5 years to become a cop.

I'm bad at sprinting,

but I've completed six marathons.

When it comes to tenacity, I know I can come out on top.

I'm saying I never gave up.

Gosh, you can be so frustrating.

This is exactly why I never date nice guys.

It'll be so frustrating to date you. Don't you think?

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Seriously? The frustration will kill me.

-Why don't you get what she's saying? -Sorry?

She isn't rejecting you. That was a sign of approval.

That's a yes for the chicken.

And another yes to being a couple.

Thank you. For a number of things.

You can keep the change.

She's the sweetest and you're the densest.

Let's have our chicken at the seawall.

What? Then…

Are we…

Must I also be the one to ask you out?

No. Mi-seon!

Please go steady with me.

There's no need to make such a grand gesture.

-Stand up already. -Thank you.

I'll really be good to you.

I get it, so stand up. Now.

-Come on. People are looking. -Of course.

Let me carry this.

Shall we?

-Thank you, sir. -Have a good time.

Adore one another.

We'll…

Those are the good times.

Why am I suddenly jealous of them?

You all did great today.

-Likewise! -Likewise!

Once again, thank you so much, everyone.

Especially you, Yun-gyeong. When is the baby due?

Next month.

I'm actually worried though. Our baby is almost ready to come out,

but my OB-GYN closed down.

-Then what shall you do? -Chung-ho OB-GYN shut down?

That's where I gave birth to I-jun.

There are not many young people here who want to have a baby,

so a dermatology clinic will open instead.

-I see. -What will you do then?

I'll have to go to one far away.

A clinic that has a birthing center is an hour and a half away by car.

That sounds exhausting.

Hardly.

She won't be doing anything. I'll be the one driving her there.

You…

Having done it myself, I can say for sure that being on a TV show is not a joke.

Exactly. I found it too stressful.

So why did you want to appear on it when you couldn't do squat?

"Squat"? Seriously?

Why do you have to say things in the roughest of ways?

Guys, that's enough. Why do you always bicker like this?

I'll let you have the stage, so have at it today.

Goodness. That's rich coming from someone

who stuttered like a broken cassette tape when given the chance

in front of a camera.

Is it me you meant?

Watch what you say, damn it!

Keep your hands to yourself!

-Jeez. -When will you stop smacking people?

-What else can I do when-- -Stop it, you two. Enough!

-I can't sit next to her. -Stop bickering, will you?

Instead, enjoy this symbol of peace, freshly-fried pigeon.

-What? -I'm kidding.

A pigeon.

I mean, enjoy the chicken that is similar

-and continue chatting. -Sure.

This drumstick will go to Director Ji who had the hardest job today.

Gosh, thank you.

Here's the drumstick I've been looking for.

-Du-sik must've starved all day. -He had a tough job too.

-Right. -Eat up.

Thankfully, a chicken always has two drumsticks.

Here you go.

-Thank you. -That's the one I wanted.

Hey! What's up with you today?

Damn jerk!

Spit it out.

It's all right. I prefer chicken breasts anyway.

-Chicken breasts? Let me see. -Yes.

-Here you go. -Right. Thank you very much.

Why not fry a bigger chicken next time?

My piece was over in two bites.

It's tiny, right?

Smaller ones are cheaper.

Give me one too.

He seems to be eating well enough.

Hand me some more.

But you only asked for one. Here. Take the whole bag.

Chief Hong,

are you upset with me?

Upset? Of course not.

You clearly are.

What is it?

Level with me and say whatever's bothering you.

Hye-jin's worried about you.

She said that you looked gaunt and should eat well.

-That's why you're sulking. -No, I'm not.

Sulking, my foot.

You lucky jerk.

Damn, you're lucky.

I'd like to be jealous rather than be pitied.

It sure would be nice to yell at her

for being concerned about another man in my presence.

Do you get it now?

Do you see how lucky you are?

By the way, did you send her parents tickets to Gag Big League?

I forgot about that.

-Get on it. -I will.

And put on some weight…

so that my girlfriend doesn't worry.

I'm glad she still thinks of me though.

Do you have a death wish?

-I'm only saying-- -Hey, Ms. Wang.

-I wanted some fresh air. -I see.

Why are you sitting like that? You have a bad back.

What's it to you?

Let me get a chair for you.

Forget it. Since when did you look out for me?

What are you talking about? I always looked out for you.

Our show will come to a halt if you fall ill, so of course I should serve you.

Hey. What brings you out?

They're arguing.

Actually, they're not. They're just talking loudly.

You don't even have the slightest respect for me.

How can I respect you when you do nothing respectable?

-Goodness. -How can a village chief be this childish?

What the… What does that have to do with anything?

He's not wrong. Have some respect for people.

Speaking of which, you humiliated me earlier.

I'm proud of how I speak, so how dare you?

There's nothing hard for me because I only sit there while you drive?

Do you know how hard it is to be pregnant?

Just eat this, damn it!

I'm sorry. I must've lost my mind.

-You have no right. -Close up for me, will you?

-I'm heading home. -Good night.

-Whatever! -Watch your words!

Would it be rude to just leave?

Absolutely. But I'm leaving.

Seriously? You can't--

I'll get going. Good night.

You and Officer Choi are dating now?

Well…

I'll have to teach him everything starting with the basics,

but he's adorable.

It's new to me and it might be fun.

My gosh! I just got goose bumps.

Congratulations. I'm so happy for you two!

You know what? We'll be able to go on double dates now.

Since Chief Hong and Eun-cheol are quite close,

let's set one up soon.

-A double date? -How about a camping trip?

-Sure. That sounds good. -Right?

We'll go car-camping.

CHIEF HONG

But how will we do it?

Come out if you're not in bed. I'm out front.

Just a minute.

Where are you going?

Why are you back here?

Come sit here.

Who are you to order me around?

I'm sorry.

About what?

I nitpicked when knowing what you meant,

sulked and acted out after jealousy swept over me,

and slammed the door on my way out.

And it took…

so long to apologize.

Talk about a detailed apology.

Why were you like that though? It wasn't like you at all.

I have no idea. I thought things wouldn't get to me,

but I'm more childish than I believed I was.

I even ate his drumsticks.

-Really? -Yes.

I'm so pathetic.

Because of you, I've been discovering a new side of me every day.

Same here.

I've been discovering a new charming side of you every day.

Today, I found out…

how cute you are.

You're so adorable.

What do you mean I'm adorable? Don't be silly.

Am I that cute?

It's a mosquito.

There was nothing there.

-You're adorable. -Am I?

Absolutely adorable.

-Are you accepting my apology then? -I don't know.

But you said I'm cute. Again, I'm really sorry.

-Chief Hong! -Don't run. I'll come to you instead.

I was too excited not to skip over.

How do I look?

Stunning. You're the only one I see from 100m away.

-I'm dressed in pink. -Pink?

You look pretty.

-Do I? -Yes.

-You should drive. -Me?

-Yes. -But you don't let others drive.

It's not a new car anymore since I've driven it around.

Besides, you're not just an "other" now.

Okay, I'll drive.

I was going to get the door for you.

I don't have the patience to wait for others to get the door.

Got it. Watch your hands.

All right. I see you already fastened your seat belt.

Let's go then.

Are you that happy?

Yes. I love that we're going on a drive outside the city

and also your company. I'm loving everything.

What from your bucket list will we be doing today?

We need to make a stop on our way to Seoul.

Okay, got it.

How is a gallery this pretty?

Tell me about it.

Did you know about this place?

What do you think? Isn't it pretty?

Yes, it's nice and unique.

I didn't know you were into art.

Actually, I'm not.

Then why is going to a gallery on your bucket list?

Because it's fancy.

What?

Appreciating artwork with my boyfriend at a gallery.

How cool is that?

It sure is.

Rather than detailed paintings, I like simple ones like this.

Adding elaborate details is easy.

It's harder to express the essence of something with ordinary drawings.

That's so cool.

You must know a lot about art.

No, not a lot. But the field does intrigue me.

I took an art history class in college.

Art history?

What for? Did you have a girlfriend who studied art?

Gosh, check this out.

Can't you feel the artist's soul?

-I-- -Don't change the subject like that.

So you did date an art student.

Are you sad right now?

Well, there's something about this piece.

Was she older than you? Or younger?

-The same age? -Same--

Wait, that's east, isn't it?

Let's check out this one next. It's titled "Family."

We already saw that one.

So you were the same age.

-I love this gallery. -Was she pretty?

-There's a sense of naturalism. -Does the art remind you of her? Does it?

-I doubt the relationship was deep. -Naturalism is what I prefer…

I've been let loose.

Don't try to stop me.

That's too bad. If we were at a racing track, I would've bet on you.

Giddy-up! Get going.

Giddy-up!

Hang on. Are you sure we're in the right place?

Yes, this is where I'm taking control over.

From head to toe, I'll be transforming you into my style.

No way. I really don't want this.

-We should leave. -Don't you think it'll be fun?

No, not in a million years. I hate this stuff. I'm going downstairs..

But it's on my bucket list.

Darn it…

Good boy.

I really don't need new clothes.

Just do this for me.

-Just try on a total of ten outfits. -Ten?

Are you telling me to put on an outfit and show it to you

ten times over?

Yes.

Hye-jin, look. I feel so nauseated that I might puke.

The restroom's that way, and the fitting room is this way.

I'm not Julia Roberts from Pretty Woman.

That movie was released in 1990. This is such a cliché.

This type of cliché is known as classic these days.

By the way, I didn't realize you liked romantic comedies.

You're super annoying.

How adorable.

I'm Richard Gere today!

This looks good too.

Hold on.

How do I look?

-You look great. -I like it too.

-Let's take this. -Try on the navy one.

-We'll take this. -No.

Try on the navy one. It's nice too.

Who made you Michael Jackson?

You look sexy!

-So this is the one. -No.

-The gray one. -This seems fine to me.

No, you look too much like Michael Jackson

which can be a problem.

-I think it's nice. -Go on.

Looking dandy!

This one's too hot for the weather though.

-Sorry. -Why are you stripping me?

This one's a no. It's too revealing.

Next! That one's a no.

-This… -Wait,

-is it see-through? -Well, this…

Unbelievable, right?

I don't think this is the one.

-It's just wrong. -It's absurd.

This one's nice. I'm loving the colors.

-I can't do this anymore. -You look so good.

-Let's stop. -You'll wrinkle the pants.

Okay, fine. Let's go with the first outfit.

-Try it on once more. -The first?

The gingham suit.

-Why don't we just take that one? -No, try it on first.

-That's not necessary. -The waist was big.

No, it fit perfectly.

Okay, just try it on once again.

I don't think--

Should I dress you?

-Here you go. -Right.

I'll pay with this.

No way. I'm buying it myself.

Don't be ridiculous.

Buying clothes for my boyfriend is included on my bucket list.

Besides, it's your birthday soon.

Consider it an early birthday gift.

Right, my birthday's coming up.

Okay, I'll gladly accept it.

Sure.

-She's a cool girlfriend. -Right.

So where to next?

-To eat something delicious. -Something delicious?

Wait. I need to stop by somewhere.

-Stop by? -Yes.

-Could I take a look at that? -Of course.

Let me hold that for you.

What do you think?

It's pretty. It looks great on you.

-Does it? -Yes.

-I'll take this then. -Sure.

-I'll check if we have a new one in stock. -Sure.

I've been eyeing it for quite some time, you see.

Do you like it that much?

Yes, I love everything in this world that is beautiful.

-Then let me-- -There was a new one in stock.

Really?

That would be 5.55 million won.

How would you like to pay?

-With this credit card. -Sure.

-I'll pay in full. -Yes, ma'am.

I finally got it!

So it must be a real diamond.

Of course it is. I don't wear fakes.

Why isn't I-jun picking up? Maybe he's at the restaurant.

I hope it wasn't salty.

I think it was to his taste.

I'm sorry for not returning this sooner.

What the hell?

What is he doing here?

That insulated bottle.

Have some of this.

You didn't have to bring it back.

-I'll get going then. -Sure thing.

-Bye. -Bye.

Oh, my God!

Mr. Chang.

So you're saying

that the hangover soup was from Hwa-jeong?

That's right. She dropped it off after hearing about

your nasty hangover.

What is she playing at?

She may speak harshly to you,

but she cares a lot about you.

As if. She doesn't care about me at all.

I bet she gave me leftovers.

No, that's not the case!

You're so clueless.

What now? Is there something else I don't know?

You see…

What is it?

Let's go have something nice to eat.

Hong Du-sik?

Tae-gyeong?

It really is you. Jeez, how long has it been?

I know. It's been a while.

I didn't realize you had company. Hello.

Yes, hello.

Hey. Do you know how worried I was?

You suddenly vanished off the face of the earth.

Where do you live now?

I moved back to my hometown.

I see.

I'm working at a new place now.

Here's my business card. Call me when it's convenient for you.

I'm afraid I got to run now. I'm sorry.

-Well, then. -Bye.

Call me.

Who is he?

We went to college together.

I see. Were you in the same major?

Let's go eat.

Chief Hong, we ticked a lot of boxes off my bucket list today.

We'll do all hundred of them in no time.

Don't worry though.

I can come up with 200, 300, and even 1,000 more.

There are so many things that I wish to do with you.

Are you listening to me, Chief Hong?

Chief Hong.

Hey!

Sorry. What did you say?

It's nothing. Just enjoy your meal.

Right.

Actually… I really shouldn't tell you this.

It's all right. Go ahead.

The tonic that's good for your joints

was also from Ms. Yeo.

What?

She was adamant about making it seem

like it was from me.

What's gotten into her?

Jeez, Yeong-guk. This isn't like you at all.

You never drink alone.

You know, I just…

I had to get out of the house. It's depressing to be alone.

Would you care for one?

No, I need to run this place, but there are no customers!

Let me get my beer.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Nothing beats draft beer in summer.

Damn, that's sweet.

I'm sure beer tastes like honey to you now.

What?

Thanks to I-jun.

I heard he won a prize at the mathematics competition.

Gosh, it's not a big deal. He's the runner-up of Gangwon Province.

My Ju-ri…

has been running parallel to her academics.

It's okay though. Don't worry about it.

As you know, my Ju-ri is so pretty.

Of course.

-Her eyes are almond-shaped. -Exactly.

And don't forget her chubby cheeks.

She looks just like her mom, right?

She looks more like her as she grows up.

I know.

These days, looking at her

makes me miss So-yeon even more.

Let me ask. Do you still miss your wife?

Of course.

After I'm done raising Ju-ri, I'll be waiting for the day I meet her again.

Come on. Stop lying.

Your marriage was such a long time ago.

Actually, it's already been a long time since she passed away.

How can you still miss her?

Why do you keep asking me the same question?

What? When did I ask you that?

You asked me a few years back.

We were having drinks.

Liar. What a liar.

Your marriage was such a long time ago.

I mean, it's already been a long time since she passed away.

How can you still miss her and love her the same way you did?

That's hard to believe.

It's true, you prick!

Whatever.

You know,

I still remember the moment

we walked down the aisle together.

I…

promised her my eternal love.

Love, my ass.

Marriage is all about staying together out of attachment.

That's how it was for me from the start, you know.

I needed to get married before it was too late,

but my first love had moved away.

I ended up

with the woman I was friends with.

That's how marriage is for most people.

My mother-in-law…

I mean, Hwa-jeong's mother had passed away around that time.

I felt bad that she was all alone, and that's how…

I miss So-yeon so much.

-Damn it. -Don't you cry.

All I'm saying is that there's not much to marriage.

There's nothing special about it.

It doesn't have some grand meaning.

It's…

It's just boring.

That night,

we were so wasted that I barely remember anything.

Wait.

I do remember how Ms. Yeo dragged you home.

Wait. Did Hwa-jeong come here then?

Yes.

It suddenly started to pour, so she came by with an umbrella.

It was weird though.

Hwa-jeong… I mean, Ms. Yeo had an umbrella in her hand,

but she was soaked from head to toe for some reason.

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong.

COFFEE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY AND BEER IN THE MOONLIGHT

Jeez. What time did I get in last night?

Just how much did I have to drink? I completely blacked out.

Hey, you made dried pollack soup.

Nothing cures a hangover better than my wife's soup.

Honey, you're the best.

Jeez.

What the hell?

Are you insane?

I told you not to take off your socks inside-out.

Socks?

Are you insane? You did this over some stupid socks?

I've told you numerous times.

I clearly told you not to take them off inside-out.

And not to throw them everywhere around the house.

How many times must I tell you this?

I'm not your maid, you know.

Is that so hard to do?

This is how one wears their socks, right?

So how hard is it to take them off and put them in the hamper?

Don't take them off inside-out, damn it!

Don't throw them around the house!

Don't take off your socks inside-out

and don't throw them around the house. Got it?

Just don't!

I'm such a jerk.

I'm such an idiot.

It was all my fault.

I was to blame.

Would you like to come in?

What? No, it's already late.

Right, of course.

You must be tired from all the driving.

-Go and get some rest then. -Sure.

-Thank you for the gift. -Don't mention it.

-Good night. -I'll get going.

Sure.

I wonder why he became depressed so suddenly.

Did it seem like I was showing off my money?

Was it the necklace?

Was it a bit too much?

Why did I buy so much?

MS. DENTIST

It's only morning, but I miss you already.

I hear it's scorching hot today.

So drink water often and eat proper meals.

And if you miss me, come run over any time.

-Yes, you too. -"Yes, you too."

"Yes, you too"?

-Mi-seon. -Yes?

The thing is I sent a text of 46 words,

and he texted back three.

What do you think of that?

What? He must be busy.

He might be, but I still think it's too short. Isn't it?

Maybe I hurt his feelings in some way.

Why be bothered by it?

It's how Chief Hong usually is.

You think so?

Seriously?

What is it?

-Are you kidding me? -What's wrong?

Check it out. I sent a text with lots of hearts and emoticons,

but all he wrote is "Good morning." Seriously…

Am I in the police? Am I his colleague? Am I his superior or boss?

Why is he being so formal?

That's how Officer Choi usually is.

It hurts, you know.

It's so beautiful.

Chief Hong.

-Hey, Ms. Dentist. Is something up? -Must something be up for me to call?

Chief Hong, how about we have dinner together later?

I'm afraid I'm working until late tonight. Let's have it next time.

Okay. It can't be helped.

Sure.

He hung up.

I was right. He's putting distance between us.

Gosh. I'm so relieved that we got good internal reviews.

It wasn't just good. They were eating it up.

I forbid you from popping the champagne too early.

Anyway, why isn't our writer here to enjoy this good news with us?

Over there.

Isn't that Director Yang Gyeong-min from TCB?

I heard from a friend there

that he's been trying to get Ms. Wang on board for his new variety show.

I'm glad the higher-ups loved it.

It would've been nicer to have you there.

You said you were meeting someone. Was it Director Yang Gyeong-min?

Yes.

People can't get enough of you, right?

Don't tell me he's been trying to woo you for his show.

Yes, he spreads his feathers like a peacock

and calls for me like a nightingale.

No way.

It's true.

And I'm taking him up on his offer.

What?

This current show will be

our last.

-That's out of the blue. -It actually isn't.

It's been seven years. It's time for a new scene.

At this rate, I'll be stuck in a rut.

I need to change things up.

We'll change things up together then.

Let's try something completely different.

I've been meaning to, you know.

No, I'd rather not work with you anymore.

It should end here.

If it's because of the recent stuff I pulled,

know that it won't happen again.

I fully admit my wrongdoing.

I'm sorry.

It's true that I was briefly disappointed in you, but that's not the reason.

Then what is it?

It's me.

So don't try to find the reason in your actions.

Seong-hyeon,

you're a good TV director and, more importantly, a good person.

You'll make good shows with any other writer out there.

I'll get going then.

What are you doing here? Were you waiting for me?

You really are home late.

I told you. You should've called.

-Let's go. -What?

Won't you invite me in?

But I have something to say.

Then say it outside.

Where are we going?

Are we still not there yet? Where are we going?

You'll see.

Where are we headed?

This is the place.

What's all this?

-Did you put this together? -Yes.

I only stopped by the house to get more light bulbs.

I was going to make it look even better

and get you later in the night.

What is it? Don't you like it?

It's a sigh of relief.

You seemed upset, and I thought it was my fault.

What?

I thought the necklace I bought turned you off in some way.

What? Jeez.

What on earth goes through that tiny head of yours?

You were way off.

Have a seat.

-It's cute. -Isn't it pretty?

-Yes. My goodness. -Watch your step.

Hye-jin.

Yes?

You don't have to worry about how I view your actions.

You bought yourself a gift with the money you worked hard to earn,

so why worry about what I think?

I'm not fazed at all,

so do whatever it is you want.

Sorry.

I guess I jumped to conclusions.

A part of me thought that it made you feel inferior.

I'm very understanding, you know.

My boyfriend is the best.

Is that why you're not wearing your new necklace? Not to bother me?

Well, I already sold it.

-What? -It didn't seem right,

so I sold it online.

-I already sent it away. -So you don't have it anymore?

-No. -This is bad.

-Why? -Because…

What's this?

Find out for yourself.

It's so pretty. My gosh.

I made it myself.

-Really? -Yes.

It's so pretty.

I wanted to buy the necklace for you, but it was too expensive.

So I made a jewelry box for it instead.

But now that necklace is gone.

It's fine. I have many other necklaces and earrings.

I'll fill this up in no time.

Thanks, Chief Hong.

-It's beautiful. -Do you like it?

Yes.

This place is amazing.

Right? It's my favorite spot.

You might say that the sea looks the same from everywhere--

No, it's different.

It becomes a special place once a memory is made there.

The sea Chief Hong took me to…

has now become one of my favorite spots too.

You know, I love everything here.

The bonfire,

the sound of the waves,

the sound of the water,

the scent of summer,

the stars,

and you.

Out of everything that exists in this world,

I like you the most.

In that case, I should be the one to say this first.

Yoon Hye-jin,

I love you.

Me too.

Hong Du-sik,

I love you.
