You will catch a cold if you get rained on.

I will do it.

You should stay under the umbrella.

It is done.

It might be uncomfortable since there is only one umbrella,

but I will walk you home.

Are you okay?

Huh?

Yes, I'm okay.

Looks like you got wet more than me.

I am okay.

Let us go.

Okay.

Yoon Bok, carry the umbrella properly.

You're getting all wet.

I am okay.

No, you aren't. What if you catch a cold?

I cannot dare to step on your shadow.

You can't even see the shadow since it's raining.

- Put it on, I said. - I am okay.

No, I'm okay.

Look at this. I like getting rained on.

I like it even more.

L-Let's go.

Yoon Bok.

Yes.

Thank you.

Do not mention it.

I am just doing my duty as your student.

Let's share the umbrella.

Seriously.

T-Teacher!

[Episode 3: The Teacher and the Student]

Yoon Bok turned out so well.

But has he...

always been that handsome?

Shin Yoon Bok.

Is your name Shin Yoon Bok?

- Yes. - Put it on, I said.

- I am okay. - No, I'm okay.

He seems to have gotten taller and bigger, too.

That kid.

He turned out well.

Is she the stalker?

- My goodness. - How about the copying rumor?

She must've lied.

[A new message has arrived]

Look at this.

It was a lie?

[A new message has arrived]

[Designer Lee Hyang Gi appears to have copied a design]

Hey, Kim Hong Do! What's this?

The evidence that my design was copied.

I quit.

Oh, my God. Honey, Honey, hold on!

Honey, hold on, hold on, hold on!

Why would you quit over something like this?

- How could I keep working here - W-What?

when I'm accused of copying a lowly assistant's design?

- Lowly? - Hyang Gi, don't be like that.

Our company will be in danger if you leave now.

I know.

Can I be walked all over like this?

No, not at all.

To me, you are the most impressive and

precious person in the world.

Is it okay to walk all over me, then?

Does anyone deserve to be walked all over in this world?

I'm a precious daughter and sister to someone, too, and...

I'm an impressive teacher, too!

How dare an assistant do this?

- You'd better- - I quit!

How dare you cut me off-

You've been cutting me off a lot, too, Team Leader.

How does it feel to be cut off by someone else?

What the hell is wrong with you!

Yes, go ahead and quit.

I'll make sure you can't work in this field if you leave now. Wait and see.

Pack your things now!

Could it be...

Camille?

- Hong Do Kim? - Pardon?

- Yes. - Nice to meet you.

It's me, Bok Soon.

Boksoon? Isn't it a scammer?

Looks like things got loosened up now.

Very good timing.

- Let's go. - Pardon?

I'm scouting you as a designer for Camille.

[Camille]

I'm Camille Brand's CMO, Frankie Leroix.

Nice to meet you.

It's an honor to meet you.

Korean Cultural Heritage Administration requested Camille

to have a fashion show to celebrate the return of cultural heritage many times.

I thought we were saying no again this time,

but she suddenly changed her mind.

She's insisting on doing it in Korea.

Because of this.

Really? Gosh.

You improved the boring part of bokjumeoni.* (Traditional Korean bag that symbolizes luck)

I altered mortgage, a traditional Korean ornament, and used it.

Nice.

Thank you.

There are no set work hours.

You just need to come in before me.

Don't ignore my calls.

I hate it when people ignore my calls.

Whether it's midnight or two in the morning in Korea or the US,

just come in 30 minutes whenever I call you.

And...

there's nothing I hate more than workaholics.

Keep the work and life balance, okay?

Okay.

Thank you!

The designer is the brand's face.

You always have to shine.

So, don't bow down from now on.

That's how I escaped being a lowly servant

and became a fancy servant!

What's going on? What's going on?

[Cultural Heritage Team]

They're local gang members.

I guess they've been working two jobs secretly.

They both went recluse now.

- They went recluse? - Yes.

The burner phone was disconnected, and they suddenly couldn't be reached.

These bastards...

This is the key chain that's attached to the key to the Seongsan Village storage.

Wasn't this destroyed by the fire?

The man, who is assumed to be Gamjjok, was carrying it, apparently.

A burn mark was seen on his arm, too.

Burn mark?

Does it mean he was at the fire scene?

Is Gamjjok after Seongsan Village's storage, by chance?

You will have to reinvestigate the case from 17 years ago.

If Gamjjok really is after the treasure in the storage,

he would attempt to enter the village, wouldn't he?

Tell the Chief Gatekeeper to strengthen security at the Seongsan Gate

and look for the ones who came to the village secretly 17 years ago.

Okay.

Young Master, are you okay?

I am okay.

Let us go.

On the way and back from work,

when you eat, walk, sleep,

or even poop every moment,

every object you've encountered,

the sound, smell, and the atmosphere.

Bring me everything that's Korean.

Give me your foot!

Hey, hey.

Don't get discouraged just because you're a weak man.

So cool.

"Strong woman."

What?

Are you sure you are okay?

You're flushed and sweating.

Looks like you might have a cold.

I said I was okay.

Young Master.

"Young Master"?

Perhaps you have a high fever.

I told you not to cross the line.

But I'm your bodyguard, Young Master.

Bodyguard?

Your safety and health are my responsibilities.

Even great loyalty is nothing if not controlled by politeness.

Go ahead and find out what I ordered you to.

Young Master!

Nice.

Nice, nice.

The scallops will be on sale for only 20 minutes starting now!

The scallops are only 5,000 won per 100 g.

Five thousand won?

Young Master, the medicine is getting cold.

Why are you doing this now?

You need to eat a lot...

to make His Excellency in heaven happy.

Tell my mom or sister to bring it, then.

I will not eat the medicine you give me.

Aigoo, seriously...

How dare you shed tears?

Get up and take the medicine now.

I do not want to.

Where did my mother and sister go?

Why are they not visiting me when I am sick?

I said your mother left the village with your sister.

Listen carefully.

You are the eldest son of the Woorim Shin family, who will lead this village.

So don't get consumed by personal feelings.

Do not waste your emotions waiting for the ones who will not return, either.

You can only trust yourself in this world.

So overcome it by yourself.

You should leave, Yeojudaek.

Gosh!

Hi.

Has he always been like that?

- What did you say? - I mean, Yoon Bok.

He's always been drawing lines with people since high school,

so we called him Seon* Yoon Bok, not Shin Yoon Bok. (Means "line")

Who are you that you dare to call him by his name?

I'm Hong Hak.

Kim Hong Hak.

- Are you okay? - Well...

Yes.

That weak man.

Yes, that's right.

You were Yoon Bok's bodyguard.

I'm Yoon Bok's best friend.

I am not sure how close you are to Young Master,

but there is a reason why he is drawing the line.

So, do not speak rudely of him.

H-Hold on.

I haven't come up with a title yet.

Well...

Your name... What's your name...

E-Excuse me.

I can just ask Yoon Bok.

Hey, bro!

It's too early to sleep already.

Get up for a second.

You know, your bodyguard...

What's her name-

Hot.

Hey, Yoon Bok! Yoon Bok!

Scallops are only 5,000 won!

Thank you.

Here you go. Enjoy.

Scallops are only 5,000 won.

What is it?

Noona...

Someone's very sick.

Sick? What's wrong?

Not me. It's Yoon Bok.

Yoon Bok? Yoon Bok is sick?

Looks like he got the flu.

He's totally boiling...

Aren't you buying?

Hang up for now.

Sir, I will have abalone, too.

Scallops and abalone?

Okay, then!

- Scallops are... - I want a lot. A lot.

Fifty thousand won.

H-Hello?

[Strengthening security was futile!]

[List of items]

Why do I feel so heavy?

Who is it?

Yoon Bok, it's me.

Teacher?

Yes.

You came all the way to my place to give me this?

I felt bad since I heard you were sick.

You caught a cold because of me.

Not at all.

It happened because I did not take care of myself. Do not worry.

Okay. I won't worry.

Instead, let's switch seats.

But a teacher is like a king and-

I know, I know. "A teacher is like a king and father."

It's an order from your teacher, who's like a king and father.

Will you not listen to me?

If so...

I will go there.

Okay.

Will you feel comfortable sitting here?

No.

Here. This is good.

Have a seat.

Okay.

Eat a lot and get well soon.

You should eat with me.

No, no. I made it for you.

No.

Here you go.

I said I'm okay.

Let us enjoy it together.

"Together"?

Okay. Let's eat together.

Abalone?

Did something happen to the ocean?

This is definitely an abalone shell.

But it tastes like a scallop.

What is it, a hybrid or something?

She couldn't have given all the abalone

to our neighbor instead of his cute brother...

She...

did.

I really enjoyed it, Teacher.

No, no, no. No, no.

Stay there. I'll put it away.

That is impossible. You cannot-

Come on. Will you really go against your teacher's will?

- My apologies. - I'll do everything.

The sick student should stay put right here and lie down.

What?

Does no one care for him?

Oh, right.

Yoon Bok, something great happened to me today.

He should sleep comfortably to recover quickly.

Seriously.

Yoon Bok,

I was motivated when you told me I was a great teacher.

So, I tried being courageous today.

And something really cool actually happened.

It's thanks to you, Yoon Bok.

Thank you.

He's so handsome-

Gosh, what am I thinking when he's sick?

It is warm, Teacher.

Teacher.

Yoon Bok, did you sleep well?

I put the rest of the porridge in the fridge.

Heat it up later, and don't forget to take the medicine.

You need to eat well when you are ill.

Okay?

I am greatly indebted to her again.

Strike one.

- Pardon? - Strike one.

Stop being Losi Fashion's assistant.

I hired you as a designer, not an assistant.

Got it.

Nouveautés et harmonie.

I hate designers who don't get that.

- Nouveautés? - Nouveautés et harmonie.

Newness and harmony.

It's Camille's philosophy in fashion.

Something traditional and new.

Elegant and splendid.

Bright and dark.

Hot and so cold.

Something like that.

What Camille wants is a double-edged sword.

"I will not lose out on anything." Something like that.

But Hong Do Kim, you're a bit...

You're very refreshing,

but that's all there is.

Gosh, I'm so nosy. Follow me.

This is all Camille?

My gosh!

So pretty.

Use these to sharpen the double-edged sword if necessary.

Is that really okay?

Camille is a woman who's like wine.

She can be sweet, but she can send you away immediately.

I hope you survive without striking out three times.

Fighting.

Thank you.

My gosh!

So pretty. My gosh.

Here you go.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Where are the other documents?

Okay, shall we look for it, then?

♫ I just stared at you smiling in front of me ♫

Hello, sir.

Hello.

♫ I hide it and try to push it away, but it's already here ♫

♫ You smiled at me brighter than sunshine ♫

[Context for the fire case]

♫ I need you ♫

♫ Come back to my side anytime ♫

♫ For me, if it's you, it's all right ♫

♫ It's like the spring day I don't want to part with ♫

♫ Yes, if it's you, it's all right ♫

♫ Let's shine together ♫

♫ Every day is about you ♫

♫ The only person who makes me breathe ♫

♫ Wait for me like a tall tree ♫

♫ Just thinking about it warms me up ♫

♫ I can only rest in you ♫

♫ For me, if it's you, it's all right ♫

♫ It's like the spring day I don't want to part with ♫

♫ Yes, if it's you, it's all right ♫

♫ Let's shine together ♫

♫ Every day is about you ♫

♫ I've been hiding my heart for a long time ♫

♫ And I've been crying alone countless days ♫

♫ I'll love you more since it was delayed ♫

♫ You shine ♫

♫ You smile brightly in my world ♫

[Inspired by the classical beauty of Jagae art]

Strike two.

Using jagae* cases as a party purse? (Traditional Korean craft using mother-of-pearl)

I like the idea of reinterpreting the classical beauty,

but isn't it too obvious?

The whole world already knows about the Jagae* cases.

I'm sorry.

What to do?

[Pottery Museum]

Wow, there were tons of visitors.

Gamjjok could've been among them.

Study each person even though it might be time-consuming.

Okay.

Brought to you from Seongsan Village-

Fire! Fire!

Fire!

- There's smoke! - Where? Where?

Stop being Losi Fashion's assistant.

I hired you as a designer, not an assistant.

Camille is a woman who's like wine.

She can be sweet, but she can send you away immediately.

I hope you survive without striking out three times.

It'd be really over if I strike out again tomorrow.

Is Yoon Bok feeling better?

I couldn't care for him since I've been working.

Where was it?

Here it is.

This is it.

[Kim Hong Do's design ideas]

Yes.

This is called "yeolsoepae" used by noblemen in the Joseon era.

They used to exchange these as wedding gifts with keys attached to them.

To put it simply, it's a symbol of wealth and love.

So?

People prefer quick flings rather than tiring romances.

Romance is dead these days.

But we'll pursue old classic romance.

We'll use the symbol of love as the show's concept.

You're finally like a designer.

Think about what to make using this concept, then.

Okay.

[Seongsan Hall]

It's an honor...

to entertain the most famous designer in the world.

You look better than when I saw you in Paris.

My wife completely overcame menopause depression.

Thanks to the Camille purse you sent her.

Then, you'll create a stage wherever I want, right?

Yes, just ask me.

Gyeongbok Palace, the Blue House, or anything.

I'll make it happen as the director of the Cultural Heritage Administration.

You're good at making jokes.

What? Me?

What joke?

Gyeongbok Palace and the Blue House.

You want me to have a show where other brands have already been?

That's so funny.

Director.

I'm Camille.

I'm only interested if I'm the first one to do it.

A place that's never been exposed.

Somewhere no one had a show before.

A place like that suits Camille.

What place has never been exposed in Korea in the 21st cen-

By chance, is that the place you want?

Yes.

No, not the Seongsan Village.

I won't do it unless it's this place. [Seongsan Village]

I'd like to help you, too.

But you know Mr. Shin Soo Geun.

He cherishes the village in case something negative might happen.

How could I change his mind?

I'm sure no one can.

No one?

I can't even go outside.

This is basically a prison. A prison.

Gosh, my back.

Put it by the door when you're finished.

Hold on.

What?

Is this everything?

I've never had a meal without meat.

Are you serious?

You're complaining about food when I'm providing food and lodging?

Don't eat it if you don't want it.

Gosh.

I mean...

a vegetarian diet is good for your health.

I prepared this for your health.

I'll fry you an egg next time if you insist.

Thank you for the food.

Gosh, he scared me.

Gosh, how high and mighty.

What? He won't eat a meal without meat?

Bull crap. He has the face of a bear.

I should only feed him with mugwort and garlic for 100 days.* (Referring to Korean folktale)

If it wasn't for Young Master, I would've... seriously...

Geez!

He said he didn't want it. He stuffed it down so quickly.

Wow, what's gotten into the miserly Kim Hong Do?

Eat that. This is for Yoon Bok.

Come on. This looks tastier to me.

Wow, seriously.

I'm your younger brother. It's me.

It's me, I said.

Yoon Bok is sick.

Geez, move.

Heavens,

why did you grant me such a sturdy body?

How could you...

What's he saying?

Okay...

I think my body is finally aching.

Bodyguard!

Bodyguard! Bodyguard!

Bodyguard.

Why are you doing this?

- What's your name? - Why should I tell you?

- Because I want to know. - I do not want to tell you.

What would make you want to tell me?

- That will not happen. - Don't be like that and tell me.

I do not want to.

If you ask my name again,

I will add your name to the list of the dead.

I warned you.

Beautiful roses have thorns.

It stings.

If you ask my name again,

I will add your name to the list of the dead.

I warned you.

If you ask... If you ask...

[If you ask my name again]

"If you ask my name again,

I will add your name to the list of the dead."

"Maiden!"

Maiden, my foot.

Teacher did me a great favor. I should return the favor now.

Welcome.

Hello.

Who is this?

Can you not hear me?

Yoon Bok.

Yoon Bok.

Yoon Bok, have you been well?

I do not know who you are.

I will hang up.

Yoon Bok, hold on-

Is he not home?

Yoon Bok.

Teacher, I know this is too much to ask,

but will you...

have a drink with me?

Yoon Bok, is something going on?

It must be serious since you suggested drinking.

You're sick, too.

What's going on?

I was contacted by the one who cut ties and left a long time ago.

Someone who left?

I am sorry I am making you worry again.

No, I'm okay.

She must've been someone very precious to you.

Since you're hurting so much now.

I thought I was used to being alone,

but I guess that is not necessarily the case.

No one is used to being alone.

And why are you alone? You have Hong Hak and me.

I'll drink with you or listen to you if you're struggling.

I'd do anything.

So, lean on me anytime.

Why are you so kind to me, Teacher?

What?

Come on, I didn't do anything.

It's my job as your teacher...

I should've cared for you sooner.

I've been so negligent.

Not at all.

You have always been affectionate toward me.

Even the ones who approached me with kindness

grew uncomfortable and left after a while.

But you have always been kind whenever I struggled.

That is why you are...

someone I want to be close to.

What's this?

I'm your teacher, and you're my student.

We can't be doing this...

Well, I'm so glad that...

you think that way.

Of course, I want to be close to you, too.

But...

Yoon Bok! Yoon Bok! Yoon Bok...

Yoon Bok...

You were a terrible drinker.

Yoon Bok.

Yoon Bok. Yoon Bok, let's go home.

- Wake up. - Teacher...

Where are we?

Be careful.

Are you okay, Yoon Bok?

Yes, I am very much okay.

You don't look okay.

I am totally fine.

By the way, you seem drunk, Teacher.

What?

Your face looks orange.

My face?

Orange...

Yes, yes. You're very drunk. Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go, Yoon Bok.

T-Teacher,

you cannot do this.

Watch where you're going. Be careful.

Teacher...

You cannot...

Have a seat, Yoon Bok.

This is no good.

Yoon Bok, I'll get you something to drink.

Wait here for a moment.

Are you...

abandoning me?

What?

Why would I abandon you?

Wait here for a moment. I'll be right back.

Will you be back when I am done counting to On*? (Means "100" in old Korean)

On?

Oh, on?

Yes, I understand.

I'll be back by then. Wait a moment.

If so...

Okay.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Where did all the convenience stores go?

22.

23.

There it is.

[Ms. Camille]

- Yes, ma'am. - There's a famous fried chicken shop in your neighborhood, right?

Fried chicken?

Oh, you mean, "No Chicken Ever Tasted Like This"?

Yes, that place.

I'm in front of it right now.

Come out to get fried chicken with me.

- Right now? - You know how much I hate eating alone.

- Come in 30 minutes. - Wait-

91.

92.

Mother,

are you going somewhere?

I am about to step outside the village with your sister.

Take me with you.

We will be back soon. Count to On here slowly.

We promise to be back by then.

I have been wasting my emotions, as Grandfather said.

On.

Yoon Bok!

♫ When the stars show up in the dark sky ♫

♫ It was so very beautiful ♫

♫ I've been picturing it in the sky ♫

♫ Like this, I meet you again, like it was meant to be ♫

♫ Oh, I... Oh, I hope I stay with you ♫

♫ Oh, I hope I stay with you ♫

[We thank Im Ho for the special appearance]

♫ I've been hoping for a long time ♫

♫ I waited for you endlessly for many days ♫

♫ As long as I can stay with you ♫

[Epilogue]

Yoon Bok, the weekend starts tomorrow. What's your plan?

I do not have any specific plans.

Really? Want to go on a city tour with me for a change, then?

- A city tour? - Yes.

An event for my student, Shin Yoon Bok, who's feeling down.

It's Kim Hong Do's treat!

Okay, sounds good.

You mean it, right? We're going, okay?

- Okay. - Oh, yay!

City tour.

Have you been on one?

No, this would be my first time.

Watch the steps. Watch it.

Just one second.

Yoon Bok! Yoon Bok! You should go inside.

Here, here.

Good night, Teacher.

Yes, bye. Good night.

Ma'am!

Over here. We'll have an order of "No Chicken Ever Tasted Like This."

Okay.

♫ I want to hug you, but I think I'm afraid ♫

[Dare to Love Me]

I haven't had so much fun in a while.

I'm the happiest when I spend time with you.

Spending time with me? With me?

Who's your higher-up who told you to stand guard?

I wouldn't be alive if I knew who he was.

- Could it be... - What's he doing in the room?

Yeojudaek, you looked at me last night, didn't you?

D-Did I?

Young Master Yoon Bok brought a woman!

- Is she pretty? - Hello, Lady Se Ryeong.

I asked if that woman is good-looking.

Take this criminal out of the town square immediately!

Hold on! No!

Please, ahjussi!
