PLAYFUL KISS

EPISODE 1

Hani Oh.

-Hani Oh. -Yes.

Hani, honey. What were you thinking?

Hey, guys, it really sucks studying so hard, right?

Yeah.

It's hard, right?

-Yes. -I know.

I know how much it sucks to be a Korean high school senior.

How hard it is, how lonely you could be.

Sit straight!

Get those fake eyeballs off!

But no matter how hard your studying lives get,

it's nothing compared to being your teacher.

You know that?

Do you have any idea how horrible it is?

Was that because the test results are out?

I think so.

Our class must have ranked at the bottom again.

It's not like it's our first time...

She shouldn't get so worked up about it every time the test results are out.

Isn't your house done by now? Let's go to your new home!

We haven't unpacked at all.

Ask Jungu Bong to help you. I saw him.

He was watching you like this.

-That's not it. -I'm sure.

-Hey. -Hi.

She said hey?

Did she just say hi to us?

What the... What's wrong with this thing?

You know seniors took the pre-SAT and Seungjo ranked at the top again.

Being the top is nothing,

but he got the perfect score, 500 out of 500!

What? Perfect score again?

Is he even a human being?

No, he's not a human.

He must be a spirit...

A spirit of the forest...

You know...

I went after this white horse,

and it just disappeared

and there he was, all of sudden, standing right in front of me.

He was so gorgeous that I just wanted to...

Bite him off.

Bite him off?

I think I can understand how the vampire feels like.

I'm sure the vampire felt like that in the beginning.

The vampire couldn't resist but bite off the neck

of his beloved woman

only because it was so white and beautiful.

You just bite this off! It's pig feet, bite this!

-I'm not making this up. -Okay, but still you bite it off!

You're so funny.

Oh, my gosh! Gee! It's Seungjo!

Hi, Seungjo!

Do you want this? I just got this.

I'm Jangmi.

Jangmi Hong.

Your mom and my mom are friends.

Oh, no, it's not working again.

Hani!

It's not working!

She's good with this, she got me this one too.

Hey, Hani! Come on, hurry!

Here you go, Seungjo.

I heard you got the perfect score again.

You're awesome!

Hani!

Hani Oh!

Hani Oh!

Hani Oh!

Hey, why don't you just tell him!

Tell him?

We're going to graduate soon.

How much longer will you be like that?

I see. Right!

Because I haven't told him he doesn't know how I feel about him.

So, he can't show how he feels about me.

He's too shy.

-What are you doing? -Looking up the meaning of shy.

Okay, right!

I'll tell him! I'll do it perfectly!

But, how?

I want to make it an impressive proposal.

How about this?

My precious. I love you, Seungjo.

Oh, it looks good.

It looks good?

For animals, they dance to find their mates.

-Dance? -Yes.

Fish, birds, penguins and even drosophilae...

Animals dance when they mate, courtship dance.

Mate courtship dance?

I see you again.

Yeah, we're drawing a real life figure today.

You're a senior. Aren't you supposed to be studying?

Right, but studying is not our thing.

And you know, I don't think you stand a chance, you see?

What?

Would Seungjo be interested in big boobs too?

Of course!

He's a man too, isn't he?

But where's Jungu?

He knows he's posing for us today, right?

-What's that? -What's this?

Hey, get off of it! What's this?

-It's a chicken. -Chicken?

What?

Chick... Chick... Chicken, chicken for you.

It's a ginseng chicken soup!

You eat by yourself. It's a small one.

Why are you giving it to me?

Look at yourself! You got all skinny, see?

Hey, Jungu!

-Hurry up, we don't have all day. -Fine, fine.

All yours.

Like this?

A bit more.

This?

Stop.

We're going to draw the movement in a figure.

Okay then, let's start.

It hurts all over.

It's killing me.

But look.

Hani is looking at me now.

She's drawing me.

This pain is nothing, then!

A man in love doesn't give up!

TELL HIM, COURTSHIP DANCE, GOLLUM?

Who the...

Let's see if you can smile after looking at this graph, Miss Song!

These white dots are Mr. Song's students.

These blue dots are your students.

So, Miss Song, very blue. Too much blue.

Yeah, it's like a blue ocean there...

Song!

Yes?

Never mind, not Mr. Song, but Miss Song here!

You know how much the school average is dragged down

by your students.

Especially these four, Hani Oh, Mina Dokgo, Juri Jeong and Jungu Bong!

At least these four, you have to do something about them!

I can only wish I could have them not take the pre-SAT exams!

They are like cancers to our school! Cancers!

However, I'm really grateful

for having a great student like Seungjo Baek here...

Okay, let's finish it up guys.

Final touch on the details of muscle definition can make it more real.

And Jungu, you're done, come down now.

Okay, I'll...

My leg!

It's okay.

Hani!

Yes, what?

What?

What's wrong?

What is it?

I look like this?

SOPALBOK NOODLES

Hani. The cashier please!

How much was it?

We can let it dry overnight and gather them up tomorrow.

I never get this...

I've been watching it since I was a baby.

We didn't have the ceiling when you were little.

But, nowadays people don't like to see it hung outside, the air is polluted.

When I was little, we dried it outside, right?

What?

Oops, you just said that, right?

Yeah, you did.

Dad...

Yes.

How did you mate mom?

Mate?

Yeah, no! Date!

No... I mean,

you know my friend Juri, right?

You know she likes this guy

and she wants to tell him how she feels but she doesn't know how.

My car was a piece of junk back then.

And I took your mom for a ride over to Daegwanryeong at night.

The car seemed like flipping over and breaking down.

Your mom was screaming, "Are you crazy! Let me out of this thing!"

-And? -And...

I drove the car even more recklessly and shouted at her.

"Do you wanna kiss me or date me?"

"Date me or live with me?"

"Live with me or die with me?"

-And she said... -She'll live with you?

Nope.

She said she'd kill me if I didn't stop that nonsense.

Not funny.

But, she told me later, she had fallen for me,

like, for a half of her mind, that day.

Really?

Hey, Seungjo.

You kiss me or date me?

Date me or live with me?

Live with me or have yourself there...

Buried?

If you want to tell somebody how you feel about him,

a heartfelt letter may work best.

A letter?

Yes, like kind of a love letter?

Dad, I'll see you at home later!

Hey, Hani!

Get your room cleaned up too! Hey, watch out!

I'm sorry.

So, she likes some guy...

SEUNGJO BAEK

Look, Seungjo's at the top again...

You still haven't heard from him?

Did you put your name on it?

Yeah.

Your phone number?

Yes.

But I don't think he'll call me.

You never know. He can text, too.

Maybe he didn't see it yet.

He's coming this way!

What do I do?

Hey, he saw you!

Maybe he didn't get the letter?

-Maybe he didn't see Hani. -Is that so?

Hani! Hani Oh!

Hani! Hani Oh!

Hani!

Hani Oh! Hani...

He just left.

Hani! Hani Oh!

-Hani Oh! -Stop it now.

Hani Oh.

Are you Hani Oh?

He's coming, coming!

Hi, Seungjo.

I never expected you to write me back.

Thanks.

Do you mind if I read it?

Here, now?

Hey, you! Jangmi! You give it back right now!

What is this?

You wrote a love letter to Seungjo?

You better stop it! Give it back now!

Look, take a look at this.

He corrected her grammatical errors!

It's more of a composition test than a letter.

The grade she got is D minus!

The truth is, I never call you Seungjo...

But I call you spirit of forest...

It's killing me. Spirit of forest!

I could hope if you ever ask me why...

What the heck are you doing?

I didn't mean for this to happen.

-But- -But what?

What?

But I despise a girl with no brains.

Where do you think you're going?

Apologize to her.

Did you just smile?

Can you move?

You heard me. Apologize!

For what?

Correcting her spellings?

What the... You little one!

Do you only see misspelling here?

You should read the contents, not the letters.

You should read her intention, not the letter itself!

You keep smiling like that?

Bring it on.

Stop smiling and man up!

Did you see that?

What? Are you scared?

Come on. Like a man.

I'll show you what to take like a man!

Jungu Bong, you come to my office and take it like a man!

But Mr. V.P. Please hear me out.

No need to hear from you!

So, Mr. Baek.

You go ahead on your way and study.

And just stay away from this kind of kids.

The red is the top 4%.

The orange is the next 11% . Yellow is for a regular 4-year college.

The green is just there

to support the higher ranked students.

And you are purple, the purple means cancer to our school.

So has our vice principal said.

The 50 study room members for this month are numbered from one to 50.

It's in the order of the grades, one being the top.

Everyone knows that.

With that posted up for you to see clearly,

how can you waste your time giggling and writing a stupid letter?

Are you that dumb or just shameless?

Either way, I despise a girl with no brain

or a girl with no shame.

HANI OH

Stop it now! Stop running!

What's gotten into you?

You ran 34 laps already!

Two more,

just two more laps...

What the...

Are you running for a marathon or what!

What's the matter with her?

Just leave her, she likes to run.

Right.

If they grade by long-distance running, you'd rank the top, Hani!

That's right,

one thing I can do well is to keep doing it for a long time.

I'll make it even if I have to crawl.

I'm here too!

Let's go!

It's the last lap. Come on!

That's her, that's the one who got dumped by Seungjo.

It was so humiliating too, right?

And she's ugly too.

How dare!

How dare she asked an IQ 200,

while her pre-SAT is in the 10th percentile.

That's her, Hani. Poor girl...

Excuse me, it's too much...

It's okay, you must feel empty inside.

So fill yourself up and move on, okay?

You know she's s brave. If I were her, I wouldn't come to school.

That's right.

She's a senior in high but I heard she doesn't even know how to spell words.

Poor thing.

Isn't it so great to live in a two-storey house?

Where did you put those scissors?

What?

It's here...

Hey, Hani!

Do you know how old this table is?

Grandma gave it to you when you got your first noodles.

So, it's older than me...

You got it right. It's 21 years old.

But you know, it's still the same, no twisted spot,

it's so sturdy.

You know when you were little you used to play under here.

Ta da!

Hey, Hani, it's a two-storey house, see?

You've kept saying you wanted to live in a two-storey house.

So how do you feel about it?

Good.

Wait.

It didn't work?

What?

That letter...

Never mind.

So this has been hiding here for all this time!

Look!

Isn't this so cute?

You were this tiny when you were a baby.

I've raised you and you've grown up.

And you have started to not listen to me!

When do I ever?

My hand is just like mom's.

Right?

Yeah.

Dad.

Hani! We're here!

I'm here, too!

Come on, let us in, hurry, I'm starving!

It's darn good!

This is great!

Is this your room?

Great.

This is really nice.

Hani!

Your house is so nice!

I envy your house.

This is so cool!

Hani! Is this your foot?

Yes.

This is freaking cute!

Stop it!

-What? -Food is ready! Hani, help.

I'll help you.

I'll get it.

Smells good!

-It looks so good! -So nice!

I couldn't make much but...

How did you make all this?

This is a lot!

It's a lot of food!

Is that so? Since we have a guy from Busan here,

our main dish is this Busan style noodle!

How did you know? It's my favorite!

Thank you so much!

-Thank you! -Thank you!

Dig in.

This is so great!

-Great? -Yes.

I've eaten this noodle a lot in Busan,

but this is the best.

The noodle is chewy and yet soft.

-I think you know how to eat. -Yes, sir.

I got a real sensitive tongue, see?

You know he made spicy rice cake at the school fair last year.

It was really good.

It's a little unexpected of you.

Well, you look like a bear has stomped on you!

Bear has what!

Why? You don't think you're not?

Let's just eat.

Why is the restaurant's name Sopalbok?

That's Hani's grandmother's name.

It's from her.

Then...

You've carried on the family business?

That's right.

Mother-in-law did for more than 40 years.

I did for 20 years.

Of course! This kinda rich taste cannot come just overnight!

I was whipped while learning how to make them right.

I wish Hani could carry it on too but...

She's not so good with cooking at all.

Don't you worry, Sir!

Hani and I will do our best to make it work.

Stop.

-Hey. -What's wrong with you?

We can't just let this 60-year-old family recipe end just like this.

Isn't that so, Sir?

I'll give it all back to the society like a donation thing.

Sir.

I didn't know that you can be that cruel to me.

Hani!

Hani!

What's that?

Hey, Jungu.

Why are you trying to break our house?

He can't beak anything.

This house is really strongly built, you know?

What is that?

-Isn't it an earthquake? -Earthquake?

Dad, what are we gonna do?

Don't worry! It's a new house!

It's strong! We'll be safe!

Hani!

Let's get out!

Let's go, Hani!

Hani, are you okay?

Is everybody okay?

How can this happen!

-What's wrong? -Oh, no!

-That... -What?

Wait!

Dad!

It won't take long!

Don't worry!

Dad!

Dad... Dad!

Dad...

At 5:30 p.m. today in Seoul, we had a minor earthquake,

with a magnitude of 2.0 which was merely shaking the windows a bit.

But as you see here, only one house in Yeonheuidong was completely demolished.

My dad's still inside! Dad!

We are told that there is a person trapped inside the debris...

So, an emergency rescue team has come to check for a survivor.

2.0 EARTHQUAKE IN YEONHEUIDONG RESCUE MISSION ON PROGRESS

The survivor is being rescued!

Yes! We've confirmed that there is the survivor!

Dad!

Hani, here, take this!

No, Dad! You shouldn't have gone in like that, Dad!

It seems that there are no victims from the earthquake.

The police is investigating the cause, as it seems to be poor construction.

That's Gidong Oh!

What's this?

Our house is the only one that's collapsed?

Is she really?

Yeah, really...

What do you want?

So are you staying at a hotel again tonight?

That'll be expensive.

No, we're gonna stay at my dad's friend's house.

Until we find a new place or rebuild the house.

His friend contacted him through the news.

Really? Wow, that's great! Good for you, Hani!

Is that her?

What?

What was that?

You got yourself paparazzi too.

Great, you're famous!

I'm sorry for making you go though all that trouble.

I'm a trouble.

Let's just go.

We all need to help.

Show me your love.

What is he doing?

As you saw on the news yesterday,

our Hani has lost her house from the earthquake.

She's in the senior year.

Please show your love for your friend.

What is that? What does he think he's doing?

Love fund?

That moron...

Let's just go around this way!

Here!

Thank you.

Let's please help Hani.

That's what friends are for.

Show the power of love.

Thank you.

Hani! Hani Oh!

Hani! Get out of the way.

Everyone!

Please give a huge applause for Hani!

After all that she went through yesterday,

she's back on her feet and came to school!

Isn't she so brave and strong?

Her name is Hani Oh! Come on give it up for her!

Hani!

What?

Oh, crap. I'm doomed.

Hey, there. You, Seungjo!

You didn't see the news yesterday?

You don't got no TV?

My Hani's been having such hard times because of you know who!

You just can walk away like that?

It was only a minor earthquake with a magnitude of 2.0.

What? Yeah... Yeah.

But that minor thingy,

destroyed her new home. What do you say to that?

I didn't cause the earthquake.

Yes! There's no earthquake bigger than the one that shook her heart!

You caused the earthquake in her heart, so the minor thing turned out to be

much bigger to her!

-Fine, I'll donate some money, okay? -Sure!

Knock it off!

I don't need your help!

Even if I beg on the street, I'll never accept

a single penny from you!

Sure? Okay, I respect that.

Hey, you! Seungjo!

Who do you think you are?

You think people around you are all here for you to make fun of!

You think they are all stupid morons who can't even argue with you

because you're much better than others,

like you've got an extremely high IQ, smart,

handsome and tall...

Anyway, don't be such a stuck-up brat!

So, studying? What's so hard about it! Anyone can study!

I'm just not doing it. That doesn't mean I can't do it!

Is that so?

That's so.

Then show me.

Huh? Show you?

Okay, sure I'll show you!

What about the next pre-SAT?

How?

How?

The 50 study room members for this month.

With that posted up on the wall, you waste your time giggling.

Are you that dumb or just shameless?

-Okay, study room! -Study room?

-You mean for next month? -Yes.

Yup! That stupid honors' study room!

I'll march right in next month!

What are you smiling at?

What if I make it? What are you gonna do about it?

-If you make it? -Yeah.

If you do, I'll give you a piggy back ride.

Piggy back ride, on his back?

Wait, that's not it!

Okay, then it's a deal!

So is he your close friend?

Close?

He's been my best friend since we were babies.

Until middle school, he was like our family.

After his family moved to Seoul,

I lost contact with him since...

It's upsetting to think about the house, I can't even sleep at night.

But thanks to the earthquake, I found my old friend again. That's good.

Hey, what's wrong!

You little!

You think I'm a fool, right?

Thanks.

Everyday I'm with you

Holding you so tight

Every night I want to be with you

Let's fall sleep peacefully

Stop.

We're here. 142, right?

-Right? -Yep.

I'll check.

Baek, Suchang! Right it is!

Wow, your friend seems to be rich!

I guess...

Who is it?

Hello?

I'm Suchang's friend, Gidong Oh.

Oh, hi! Welcome! Honey!

-You are here? -Yep!

-Spaghetti Oh! -Porky Bag!

Hey, look at you, how did that happen?

Look at yourself, you've gone through a lot too!

Welcome home.

Well, we really came.

You should! You are really welcome!

-Hi! -Hello.

Right, you're his daughter then!

She's much cuter in person.

Excuse me?

Well the thing is, we couldn't wait

till you get here tonight.

So I went to see you just a little in the morning.

So that was...

Yeah, that was me all right.

Let's take your stuff in first.

Please, don't bother, we don't have much. Hani can handle them herself, right Hani?

Yes! I don't have much stuff.

It's no big deal, I'll have my son help her.

But still...

Son! Come out and use your muscles!

Dad, I'll take it.

No, it's good.

Just close the door please.

Yes, sir.

I feel like everything will be fine now,

don't you think so?

-Do you need a hand? -No thanks, I'm fine...

This is a dream, I'm dreaming. Snap out of it, Hani!

You! You!

Playful Kiss

I can't believe it.

-Who is this? -Seungjo.

-What? -It's him.

You! Give it back!

Under one condition.

Hey, that's X here?

It's an alphabet.

Never mind.

Hey!

Guys.

Camera!

Don't tell anyone.

I don't have feelings for you.

-Not even a bit. -Yeah?

Playful Kiss
