LOVE NEXT DOOR

The women's dorm?

Are you insane?

You want me to sneak in
the women's dorm?

What's the problem?

My roommates
always sneak their boyfriends in.

So? You want me to play
drinking games with them?

Should we? They love drinking games here.

Hey, I taught them how to play Mafia.

- They're good.
- Hey!

Don't worry. They're not here.

- So you're alone?
- Yeah.

Hey, where are you going?

The bars nearby aren't even open late.

They're expensive too.

It'll be my treat in my room!

Our little baby can save
his allowance and buy snacks.

Get off me.

Right. Now that you're in the US,
what do you want to do the most?

Let's think about it later. Come on!

Let's go and get wasted!

I don't think this is right.

Okay. You look so pretty!

You look like a girl. Let's go.

Damn.

Now that you're in the US,
what do you want to do the most?

You dummy.

Why do you think I'm here?

BRIAN
DID YOU FORGET ABOUT OUR DATE TODAY?

My head hurts.

I have a splitting headache.

What? When did you get up?

What? Right…

Just now.

I think you got a text.

Really?

Who is it?

My boyfriend.

I'm seeing him later. Come with me.

You have a boyfriend now?

Yeah, we just started dating.

His name's Brian. He's an overseas Korean.

He can't speak Korean that well.
It's so cute.

He can barely spell.

Gosh, he's so adorable!
He can't even spell "promise" right!

Jeez, why is it so dark in here?

Just be quiet for a second.

I'm sure the switch
is around here somewhere.

You built this building,
but you can't even find the lights?

I found it.

You're a habitual offender.

It was a normal reaction to avoid falling.

Habitual offender, my foot.

Then, what was that earlier?

My gosh!

Give it.

If you go to Namsan,
aren't you supposed to have pork cutlets?

Why did you buy groceries?

Hey, you're supposed to cook food
on a good day like this.

Just wait, okay?

I'll show you a pretty cook,
as if there's "Something in the Rain."

Seriously though,
don't mess with Son Ye-jin.

Want some help?

You know how to cook?

Just go and sit.

Why are you so good?

I was ready to call Mo-eum
in case you cut a finger off.

The food is… so green.

It's colorful like grass.

Is that all you can say?

You took my pork cutlets, so I expected
at least some spicy stir-fried pork.

You have a palate of a child.

People should eat seasonal food.

Especially, spring greens.
They're just as good as wild ginseng.

There you go embellishing again,
like MSG on food.

No, that's actual MSG.
What did you put in here?

- Powdered stock?
- My cooking skills.

No way. Why is it so good?

Is it good? Really?

I know what it is. Yeah.

I'm so hungry right now
that I can't be objective.

I should've just pushed you
off that mountain.

Let me eat before you kill me.

At least I'll be full.

It's honestly good though, right?

Not bad, right?

Hey, don't eat so fast.

Wow, that smells great!

What's this?

I showcased my talents a little.

Why are you so late?

I'm a civil servant.

I was busy with my duties.

You did a great job.

I'll go and buy some drinks.

What? Okay.

Why is he leaving so suddenly?

I don't know.

- I don't know.
- Eat up.

Okay. It looks so good.

Darn it.

Why is Seok-ryu
suddenly looking at me weird like that?

She usually looks mad,
but now her eyes look kind.

They're too round and kind.

It looks so good.

- Eat up.
- Hold on.

MOM

It's okay.

I'll do it.

Why didn't you answer your mom?

What? Because I know what she'll say.

She wants me to go on a blind date.

- Really?
- Yeah.

My mom suffered so much from her in-laws.

Why does she want me
to get married so badly?

You know what happened.

After my dad died when I was seven,

my grandma went crazy
and blamed my mom for his death.

That's why we moved here.

I know.

I swear, I just don't get it.

- Marriage isn't always the answer.
- Right.

You're right.

That's why I ran away
before going through with things.

There is one regret though.

I wanted to see you in a wedding dress.

What? You can see.
Want to see my wedding photos?

- You haven't deleted them yet?
- No.

I spent a fortune
and put in so much effort.

How could I delete them?

Wow. You're so pretty.

I think so too.

What? What's this?

It's the smile you make
when you're truly happy.

I know who took this picture.

Hey.

I'm going to figure out
why you two broke up.

So?

Are you okay now?

Have you completely moved on from him?

No.

I still love him.

Gosh, I left my wallet.

I had to come all the way back.

Hey, you're all okay with beer, right?

No, I want soju tonight.

I want to get drunk.

- Okay. Got it.
- I want non-alcoholic beer.

- And juice.
- What? Why?

No, you're right. Don't get drunk tonight.

That'll be safer.

Don't eat until I get back. Wait for me.

Don't you dare lay a finger.

Look at her. Her legs are shaking.

Her legs are totally exhausted.

Why did you want to start
the morning with 108 prostrations?

We can't be doing that at our age.
Your knees will give out.

Stop. Goodness.

As long as my son can pass his exams,

they can take both my knees
and make stew with them!

You can't say stuff like that at a temple.

Buddhists are vegetarians.
Don't you know they only eat vegetables?

Hey, it was just a joke.

Are you upset about something?

- No, I'm not.
- Are you sure?

That's not what your face is saying.

What's wrong with my face?

Why are you picking on an innocent person?

Hey, don't raise your voice
in front of Buddha.

Let's go do what we always do.

What? Lunch?

Where are we eating?

Something's up with her.

Hey.

Hey, take this.

These are prayer tiles.

My son needs to pass his exams

before all of these tiles are used.

Have you ever done this before?

I've seen it before.

Do I write with this?

Yeah, go ahead.

PARK KI-HOON
PASS THE CIVIL SERVICE EXAM

MO-EUM
MOVE OUT

BAE GEUN-SIK
FIND BUSINESS SUCCESS

BAE SEOK-RYU

BAE SEOK-RYU
RETURN TO ORIGINAL STATE

"Move out"?

Hey.

You want Mo-eum to be a monk?

Hey!

- What?
- Seriously?

It doesn't mean that.

She's talking about marriage.

- I see!
- For crying out loud.

LET MY SON FORGET THAT MEMORY
LET ME RECONCILE WITH HIM

You're showing off
on a whole new level now.

You wrote it in French?

It just happened by chance.

And it comes more naturally.

Yeah, right.

She doesn't want us to read it.

It's not that.

But all of our wishes are
for our husbands and children.

What else can we do?

These scoundrels need to do well
for us to be at peace.

You're right.

These scoundrels.

Return to your original state!

Move out.

Pass the exam!

A productive human.

Professor!

Are you going to work?

- I'm coming home from work.
- You work so hard.

Do you want to eat something
before you go in?

Your wife's likely not home.

- What?
- The Suk Sisters…

Wait, they changed their name.

They're Lavender now.

Anyway, they went on
an overnight trip together.

They went to a temple.

But my wife's a Catholic.

- What?
- Nothing.

I'm a bit tired. I'll eat next time.

Okay, goodbye.

Wait!

Let's get another drink next time.

Sir, are you open?

Yes, of course!

- Okay.
- I'll see you next time.

- Places like this still exist?
- Come in!

Look at the sign.

Wow!

Record that.

- Here's your food.
- Okay. Thank you.

- Enjoy.
- Sir?

We're making a NerTube video. Can we film?

Film?

You've been filming since before.

The atmosphere here is just great.

Vintage and retro places like this
are all the rage these days.

Vintage?

Also, our channel has
100,000 subscribers.

It has 100,000 subscribers?

Yes.

Wow, you guys are incredible.

Please, film the food so it looks good!

Okay.

- I'll get you some more.
- No, it's okay!

We have to buy it all!

- Not sponsored?
- That's right.

Okay, I understand.

It can't be fake.

Let's make a thumbnail.

You and Tony know each other?
Why didn't you tell me?

I'm usually simple and modest.

I'm not the type
who mixes business with pleasure!

I knew it.

Hey.

Did you visit the site?

Yeah.

What are you doing? Why is she here?

I called her.

This is great.
I wanted to talk to you about something.

The thing is…

I wanted to ask Seok-ryu to join

the Greip flagship store project.

- Me?
- Yes.

Not now, but it'll start soon.

We got rid of the obstacles too.

How about working with us again?

Look over documents
and join our meetings.

- I'm against it.
- What?

We asked for her help
on the new building project.

Our agreement ended
after the presentation.

Asking her help
for the flagship store is unreasonable.

- You think so?
- Of course.

She has plans too.
We can't hold onto her forever.

It's not related with work either.

Also, I don't want to keep having her
involved with her former company.

Yeah. On second thought, you're right.

I was only thinking about us.

I'm really sorry.

You've helped us so much already.

No, it's fine.

It's too bad,
but I guess this is where we part ways.

Still, let's have a farewell party

and go somewhere nice for a meal.

- Sounds good!
- Is that okay?

Of course.

Should we invite Na-yun too?

Let's all go together.

Eat as much as you want today.

I'm paying!

It's the company card anyway.

What a sharp observation.
So sharp it hurts.

Na-yun, take a lot of pictures.

You rarely post these days.

Okay.

Thanks.

Seok-ryu, today's guest of honor.

Eat up!

Thank you.

You're welcome.

The next dish is salmon roe.

Wow, you don't see this often these days.

Koreans don't really like salmon roe.

Really? I like it.

Me too.

I like everything you like.

She's at it again.

Salmon is so interesting though.

They're born in rivers
and swim down to the ocean.

And they return to the river
to lay their eggs.

You mean their instinct
to return to their origins?

I heard they haven't discovered
why they do that.

Gosh, these animals are stuck in the past.

Right? They went out into the vast world.
Why go to the trouble to return?

What? Did they leave
their first love behind at home?

Why give it to me?
You said you liked it.

I don't like it anymore.

Really? Lucky me.

I'll eat these strong salmon
that swim upstream then.

I heard you like online novels, Na-yun.

Yeah, I don't hate them.

What do you read?

Can you recommend any good ones?

Themes of returning to the past
are popular these days.

The protagonist deeply regrets something

and goes back to the past to fix it.

Don't read those.
Why read something so pointless?

People should live
with their eyes on the future.

Why go back to the past?

It's all in the past.
Just forget it, okay?

Live a new and fresh life.

When's the next dish?

It's coming right now.

You totally ruined the mood.

It's okay.

What's that?

It's sea bream sushi.

Where's that kid today?

I wanted to ask what her name was today.

You should be wary of other people's eyes.

What?

You're showing off
your behind a bit too much.

I'm so sorry.

I was looking for something.

Did you lose something?

No, it's not that.
I'm looking for a four-leaf clover.

What?

Why are you looking
for such an old-fashioned thing?

They even sell those online these days.

It's something classic
that transcends time.

It's the thought that counts.

Can you see thoughts?

You can be on your way.

I was on my way here, okay?

It's not like they're easy to find.

Is it for a girl?

Yes.

- I found one!
- What?

It's a normal clover.

I found it! I mean it this time!

There are one, two, three, four leaves.

Holy cow.

Really? How did you find it?

Wow…

I concentrate well and have good eyesight.

You can have it.

I don't need it.

- Really?
- Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you! Bye!

Bye.

Make sure you laminate it first
before you give it!

Okay? Gosh, I wonder
if he'll even do it properly.

He's so weird.

How can you work right after you eat?

Here, drink this.

I said I was busy.
Why follow me here? Just go home.

I'm leaving after I drink this tea.

It sounds like you're kicking me out.

Hey, you really don't need me
for that project?

I mean, if you're doing it for me,

it's okay.

I can make some time for you.

Are you out of your mind?

- What?
- You said you'd find your dream.

You should be giving it your all,

but you're busy dawdling here and there.

No, it's just…

I'll take care of my own business.

Just focus on your own business.

Don't blame me down the road
when things don't work out.

Hey.

I was trying to be considerate.

- I want to help you--
- I don't need your help.

Fine.

Also, I've been trying hard too.

I think about what my dream
could be more than anyone.

I do it every day.

Really?

Then, don't just think about it and do it.

Hey!

Are you mad at me about something?

Are you venting? Are you holding a grudge?

Is it about losing
Greip's new building because of Chris?

What do you take me for?

Hey, honey. It's been a while.

How could you be so shameless
and come here?

Don't you feel bad about seeing Seung-hyo?

Not at all.

Is it awkward for you to see me?

It's not comfortable.

It's better if things are uncomfortable.

Jang Tae-hui!

You dumped him for another guy.
Don't play games!

That's a bit harsh.

What will you do if I'm here as a client?

Do you have a request?

I do have a request.

May I ask

why someone of your stature
would pay a visit

to our humble office?

Try to maintain some dignity.

Does dignity pay the bills?

Don't worry about him. Please, go ahead.

Have you two heard of Fresco?

It's an international home decor brand.

Don't they make bowls, kitchen utensils,
pots, and electronic appliances?

That's right.

Fresco collaborates

with world-renowned artists every year
and releases new products.

They're limited editions.

I know.
Dali once collaborated with them too.

I was offered to be part of the project.

What? It has nothing to do with us.

Did you come here to brag
about being a master of onggi?

I'm planning to design
a coffee pot with an onggi concept.

To preserve the structural beauty,

I thought working
with an architect would be good.

That's when I thought of you.

What? And you want to take him from me?

Dream on. He's very busy!

Myeong-u, I didn't get you
a wedding gift, right?

It's late, but I'll give you a bowl.

A bowl? Like the ones on the news
worth several million won?

- Yeah.
- You can borrow him.

Use him and return him in good condition.

Borrow? What am I, some kind of object?

No, you're a genius.

You can't miss your chance
to be on par with Dali.

We're done talking. Bye.

Wait. Where are you going?

I have to tell Hye-ran
we're getting a bowl.

What are they,
filming Architecture 101 in there?

Why would his ex-girlfriend
come to the office?

Do you know about that woman?

Her name's Jang Tae-hui.

She's a year older, she studied art,
and they met in college.

They dated for over a year.

Come on. I already knew that.

What else? Do you know anything more?

- They had a passionate relationship.
- Passionate?

It was burning hot.

What's this?

Who parked in front of our house?

Wow. Korea's loosened up a lot
since I've been gone.

It's totally liberated now.

Excuse me? It's great that you're in love,
but there's a time and a place for this.

You're right in front of my house.

Excuse me.

Mom, the store was out
of your favorite ice creams.

Who was that?

What?

We looked that passionate?

- Seriously, Seok-ryu?
- Sorry.

Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.

That's okay.

It was a good memory.

I offer my apologies once more.

I accept.

Did you say your name was Seok-ryu?

Yes, that's right.

It's nice to meet you.

He's told me so much about you.
It's like I know you.

- No, I didn't.
- Yes, you did.

But didn't you live in the US?

I just moved back recently.

I see.

That's great. Can you help me?

What? With what?

I received a great opportunity
and made a proposal,

but he won't take it.

- Can't you convince him as his friend?
- Stop doing as you please.

That's my charm. Did you forget?

You need time to think?

Yeah.

Then, how about coming to my studio?

Take a look and decide.

Really? Are you free this weekend?

Of course.

Bring all of your employees then.

There are plenty of rooms.

Seung-hyo, we'll hold
a company workshop this weekend. Nice!

We're not going. We're busy.

You can't live life
occupied by work all the time.

You should give yourself
time to rest too. Right?

You think I don't know what you're up to?

You're trying to escape
from watching the kids.

They don't sleep.
Help me out this one time.

- Everyone has to come then.
- Okay, thanks.

- You should come too.
- No.

I can't even manage
my own affairs right now.

Also, this is for the employees.

An outsider like me shouldn't join.

That's too bad. It would've been fun.

It was great seeing you.
It made my heart race.

Mr. Bae?

Hey, Seung-hyo.

Didn't you quit smoking last year?
Is something wrong?

No, it's nothing.

I guess I was feeling restless
without my wife here.

Hey.

- Are you going to rat me out?
- Maybe.

I didn't see you actually smoke it.

Wow…

My wife raised you properly.

Do you want a drink?

Just one drink. Sure.

- I'll pour it.
- Okay.

Hey, Dong-jin. Wake up!

Wake up!

Hey, punk.

You should wake up
as soon as the sun rises.

Why are you putting me to work?
Do I have to wake you up myself?

I gave you a chance.

Mom said I could beat you up
if you didn't wake up!

Get up!

I said get up!

That's enough!

What? What are you doing here?

Dad! They're doing something weird!

- Dad!
- Hey! No!

Dong-jin, it's not what you think!

Hey, it's a misunderstanding!

You sprained your toe.

That means it's not broken, right?

That's right. He slightly tore a ligament.

That's not possible. I can't move my foot.

I don't know.
It really shouldn't hurt that much.

Mr. Choi.

He's a bit of a crybaby.

You must've forgotten,

but my leg has been through trauma.

That again?
Are you going to milk that forever?

Milking…

You're being harsh.

Goodness, I am so sorry.

But is your toe the same as your leg?

Hey, toes are a part of the leg.

It's all one limb.

Yeah, I see.

So that means your toenail
is a part of your leg too.

How's Seung-hyo? Is he okay?

Yeah, he needs a cast for a week
and medication for three days.

That's good.

Why did you beat him up like that?

He didn't get hurt from that!

He tripped over his own feet and fell.

He fell because you hit him.

Let's check it again
if it still hurts in a week.

Okay.

How did this happen though?

Well…

I wanted to pay, but I forgot my wallet.

You can treat me next time.

Okay, where are we going now?

- Where's round two? Your house?
- Round two?

How about my house?

No, Mrs. Na would kill us.

Hey! Listen, you brat!
I'm the man of the house!

My wife's not home right now.

Right, she's not home.
My mom's not here either.

She's not home!

Wow! She's not home! I love it!

I'm free! I'm a free man!

Eat this.

Hey.

We'll have drinks at my house,
and you can sleep in Dong-jin's room.

- Okay? Not Seok-ryu's room.
- Okay.

- Sleep in Dong-jin's room. Got it?
- Okay.

Okay.

We'll go to my house, and I'll take out

my wild ginseng wine for you.

Come on, wild ginseng wine?

You sure it's not regular or red ginseng?

Hey! It's real wild ginseng wine!

It's the real deal, okay?

Then…

- Sound good? Let's go to my house!
- Yeah.

Let's go to Seok-ryu's house!

You're just like your mom.
You're so violent.

Let go.

Don't drink with him.

He has terrible habits when he's drunk.

- I'm sorry. I should be driving you home.
- It's fine.

- But I have to go to my workshop.
- Forget it. I can take the bus.

Are you really okay?

- I'm fine.
- Okay.

Hey, let's go.

I have plans. Go ahead, Dad.

All of a sudden?

I guess I'm going alone.
Don't come home so late.

- It's scary at night.
- Okay.

What a nag.

- Bye.
- Take care, sir.

Bye, Dad.

Hey. What are you doing?

Why act so surprised?

I drove your car here.

- So what?
- I mean…

I may not have directly caused
your injury,

but I do bear
some indirect responsibility.

I'll take care of you
until your cast comes off.

Why would you do that?

- Give me the keys.
- You want them?

Sure, drive yourself then.

Here.

Hey, Seok-ryu?

Yeah?

What?

This…

What do you want?

It's Saturday. Where are you going?

The convenience store.
Then, I'm off to work.

I've already stopped by,
and I'm on my way to cover a story.

Wow, I didn't ask. Good luck.

Ms. Paramedic, wait.

You'll be looking for this.

It's for helping me find
the four-leaf clover.

But aren't these yours?

I bought two.

If that's the case, thank you.

But did that person
like the four-leaf clover?

No, she didn't.

I said I tried hard
and another woman helped me find it--

What?

Why would you tell her that?

"I searched on my own for a long time."

You should've said that.

I can't lie.

I'll get going now.

Why…

Gosh, he knows nothing about women at all.

Mr. Kang, let's take a short break.
What do you say?

We can't.

We volunteered
so that elderly lady could rest.

We have to pick up as many as we can.

Hey, you asked me for help
to write a special feature.

This is no way
to treat your older colleague.

Now that you're out in the field
after being stuck at your desk,

doesn't it feel like you're alive?

I'm on the verge of death, you punk!

I'm disappointed.
You weren't like this in the past.

Hey, are you getting revenge
for what I said to you before?

Of course not.

Okay, boosters on!

Hey, slow down!

I can't do this! Jeez!

- Hey!
- Are you going to help or not?

Why are you scared?

Look, I was the best driver in the US.

Hey, don't turn your head. Watch the road.

And stick to the speed limit.

Stop pressing random buttons.

Don't touch anything.

Hey! Come on.

The breeze, music, and relaxation.
Isn't this just perfect?

- Hey!
- This is nice.

Sir, just enjoy the relaxing ride. Okay?

Relaxing, my foot.

Who drives like that?

Hey!

Hi.

What happened to your foot?

Ask her.

Hello. He got hurt a little.

Not a lot though.
He'll need two weeks to recover.

So I had no choice but to come too.

I see.

I'm glad you're here.

Myeong-u's going to be late.
Did you get his call?

No.

When did all these calls come in?

He has an upset stomach.
I think it's pretty bad.

Jeez, what did he eat this time?

Let's go inside.

What? I can't help you walk?

No, it's fine.

- Come on.
- Sure.

Wow.

Wow!

Did you make all of those, Tae-hui?

Is it okay if I call you that?

Of course.

Tae-hui, can I go see them up close?

Sure.

She's cute. She's like a puppy.

If you're talking about Seok-ryu,
that's not the right description.

Why not?

Are you jealous
because I called someone else cute?

There you go again.

- Seok-ryu.
- Yes?

Don't you want to know
what's inside those jars?

I do!

It's meju.

There are so many of them!

Wait, why do you have these?

Don't you make onggi?

I do.

I make sauces and pastes too.

What?

My dad's an expert in food.
He's a doenjang master.

Did you forget?

Yeah, that's right. Sorry.

So does he make it here?

No, he lives in Gangwon Province.

I'm just in charge of this place.

To make good bowls,

I had to learn about the essence
of what went inside them first.

I can sell more onggi if the process
of making sauces and pastes flourishes.

It's all part of my big plan.

Do you make the sauces
and pastes yourself?

Yes, with the other ladies
in the neighborhood.

Today happens to be the day for it.

And I need a few helping hands.

Was this your plan all along?

I just wanted to kill
two birds with one stone.

You know I'm greedy.

Still, you can't spring this on us.

I can't help.

I don't think
you could've helped anyway with your foot.

It's not just me. We all can't.

Me! I want to help.

I'll do it! I want to try
and make doenjang!

What?

Why not? I want to do it!

Nice!

This is going to be fun!

- How's the work?
- Good.

It's so interesting!

Hey, young man.

- Yes?
- Come and help me.

- Open this.
- Okay.

Take out the charcoal.

Use that and wipe the inside clean.

Yes, ma'am.

Wow…

Thank you.

I have a question.

What are these marks on the meju?

They're from being tied with straw.

They were hung from the ceiling.

I see. So that's why.

What will we do next?

What do you think?

We have to put the doenjang
in the onggis we sterilized earlier.

How do we do that?

You're just full of curiosity, aren't you?

That's just how I am.

Why are you in such a hurry?
Take your time to learn.

Yes, ma'am.

She's having a blast.
The time of her life.

Can we talk for a second?

Right now?

Yeah.

There's something you need to do.

What do you need my help with?

Just stay here with me for a moment.

- Is this why you called me away?
- Yeah.

What? You liked it
when I used to do this.

That was then.

Did you date anyone else after me?

Of course. We broke up a long time ago.

True.

You let people in,
but you also let people out.

We started dating because I asked you out.

If that's how you feel, I'm a little hurt.

I liked you a lot.

Me too.

And I've missed you.

Didn't you come back
just to collaborate on work?

I was genuine
about wanting to work with you.

But using that as an excuse
to see you is also genuine.

I was hoping for serendipity

and that our reunion
could be an opportunity.

It's true.

But work comes first.

This is my collection
that was exhibited in Vienna.

It's nice.

The curves look like columns with entasis.

As expected from an architect.

Want to try making one yourself?

By the way,
what are the cloth and strainer for?

This will keep debris from getting inside.

We're almost done.

You came all the way from Seoul
and had to do so much work.

No, I'm having so much fun.

You can speak in our dialect pretty well.

I do?

By the way, where's the bathroom?

I have to go.

It's over there.

- I'll be right back.
- Okay.

Your hands should go like this.

You'll ruin it.

I was just looking for the bathroom.

It's at the end of the hall.

Okay. I'll go now since nature's calling.

I'm sorry I interrupted.

Damn it.

Hey, sorry about that.

I didn't mean to
cluelessly run into the chair.

What are you talking about?

You two look good together.
It was like a scene from Ghost.

Haven't you heard of it?
Demi Moore's in it.

There's a scene in the movie
with really romantic music.

As she makes pottery, he comes up and…

What are you trying to say?

I'm just saying
I hope things work out for you two.

You never know.

Old feelings could resurface
now that you've met again.

What? Why are you looking at me like that?

I'm warning you.

- Don't meddle in other people's affairs.
- No, I meant…

I only meant it if you still liked her.

- Also, friends can talk about this stuff.
- No, we can't.

Jeez, that little…

- Mr. Choi!
- Mr. Choi!

Seung-hyo!

Seung-hyo, what's wrong with your leg?

I just bumped into something.

Are you okay?

Seung-hyo, I had such a hard time.
I was in danger multiple times.

We stopped at every rest area
on our way here.

I told you to wear a diaper.

Not putting it on
was my last bit of pride.

It must've been tough. Go on in.

Where are you going? Your leg's hurt.

I need to get some air.

What?

I'm going inside.

Tae-hui! We're here… What?

- You're late.
- Hello!

Yeah, but what's all of this?

You said you couldn't make it, Seok-ryu!

It just sort of happened.

Is this a folk village? Is this where you
participate in traditional tasks?

Kind of.

Ma'am, more workers have arrived.

Should we check the pastes
we fermented last time?

Sounds good.

Do what?

So what happens is

they take out the meju and use them
to make doenjang and soy sauce.

- Sounds fun, right?
- I see.

- You'll help, right?
- Yeah.

Is she insane?

That punk, Seung-hyo.
That's why he acted serious and ran away.

- Seok-ryu?
- Yes?

Where's the bathroom?

- Go around that way.
- Okay.

- Go inside the building.
- Okay!

I left my wallet.

Are you okay now? Have you…

completely moved on from him?

No.

I still love him.

Gosh, I left my wallet.

I had to come all the way back.

Hey, you're all okay with beer, right?

No, I want soju tonight.

I want to get drunk.

- Okay. Got it.
- I want non-alcoholic beer.

- And juice.
- What?

Why?

No, you're right. Don't get drunk tonight.

That'll be safer.

Don't eat until I get back. Wait for me.

Don't you dare lay a finger.

Great job, everyone.

Great job.

What time is it?

It's past 3:00 p.m.
We haven't even had lunch yet.

- Should we order something?
- How about Chinese?

Okay, then let's all have fried rice.

I put the order in.

This is why we can't order any noodles.

Let's go.

What is it?

Nothing.

We're emergency responders.
Is anyone home?

We're coming in.

Is anyone home?

We're paramedics.

What?

Hey, kid!

Hey, wake up!

Hey, kid!

Hey.

Hey, kid. Are you okay?

Do you recognize me?

It hurts.

I called for help.

Good job. You did great.

Great job, kid.

I'm not a kid.

Yeon-du.

My name…

is Yeon-du.

Okay, Yeon-du. Good job.

I'll make you feel better real quick.
Just wait.

Thank you.

Do you know her?

Where's her guardian?

Was she home alone?

Yeon-du, wake up.

Yeon-du!

Stay with me, Yeon-du!

Excuse me.
Could someone give me a hand?

I'll help!

What is it?

Well, I think too much sunlight
has dried out the paste.

I want to move it to the studio.

- I'll move it.
- No way.

The jar weighs over 30 kilograms.

- I'll ask the men to do it.
- No, I'm really strong!

- Leave it to me.
- No… Myeong-u?

- Then…
- No, I'll do it.

- I'll hold down the fort here.
- He's busy. I'll go.

- We'll be back.
- Don't hurt yourself.

This is too difficult for us.

Let's leave it here and call someone.

We're almost there. I'll do it. It's okay.

No, it's too hard.

I'll get someone.

I can do it on my own.

- Seok-ryu!
- Bae Seok-ryu!

Seok-ryu.

Are you hurt?

- My gosh, the jar and paste!
- Are you okay?

Who cares about me? What about this?

This took so much effort to make!

That's not important.

Why can't you be more careful?

Why get involved when you can't even
take care of yourself?

It's not like that.

She was trying to help me.

I'm sorry. I'll clean it up.

Don't touch it. Don't cause trouble again.

That's enough.

She's already startled.

Seok-ryu, I have extra clothes in my room.

- Go and change.
- Okay.

The stain won't come out if it sets.

That jerk.

How could he get so angry at me?
That was so embarrassing.

This is my home.

This is how I live.

You're here as guests,

but I'm afraid I can't ask you to come in.

It's too small here.

There's no place to sit.

That's okay. Our legs are strong.

Yes, we're just grateful
to have been invited.

I'm the grateful one.

Reporters like you

came all this way to see someone
as insignificant as me.

And that cart too.

Can I really accept that for free?

I bet it was expensive.

Don't worry.

I processed the expenses
at my manager's discretion.

Stop it.

Ma'am, always be careful
of the roads. Okay?

Okay, thank you.

The world has become harsh and unsettling.

But there are still good people.

- Take care of yourself.
- Okay.

Thank you for your hard work.

Hello?

What?

Yeon-du?

- Dan-ho!
- What did you mean?

Yeon-du's gone?

Yeon-du had a cold.

She was asleep after taking medicine
for her fever at lunch.

I left for a second
to buy groceries and…

So where is she?

I was surprised too.
I asked everyone in the neighborhood.

They said the paramedics came.

Go slow.

The patient's a five-year-old girl.

Her BP's 100 over 70,
and her heart rate's 120.

She has a fever of 39.6 degrees.
Oxygen saturation is 99%.

She was conscious and responsive
when we arrived,

but she began to decline
and lost consciousness.

Pre-existing conditions or meds?

Her guardian's not here,
so we couldn't check.

Let's give her IV fluids and run tests.

Okay.

Just a moment.

Is there a patient here
named Kang Yeon-du?

She's a five-year-old girl!

She's over there.

Yeon-du.

Yeon-du, it's Daddy.

Yeon-du, open your eyes.

Yeon-du, Daddy's here.

Yeon-du, open your eyes.

Sir, can you step back for a moment?
We need to insert the IV.

Okay.

Yeon-du.

Are you okay? Are you awake?

Where are we? Who am I?

The hospital.

Daddy.

Yeah, it's me.

I'm here now. It's okay.

Nothing's going to happen.

Goodness.

Hey.

Those clothes look better on you than me.

Thanks for lending them to me.

That was a big mess you made.

That's okay. It happens.

I'm sorry. I came and just caused trouble.

Don't worry about it. It's no big deal.

We can just throw it away.

No, we can't!
It'd be such a waste to throw away.

Maybe if I had no idea,

but now I know just how much time
and effort went into making this.

How can we throw this away?

Then, how about we eat the parts
not covered in dirt?

We're not bums.
Why would we eat something off the ground?

Okay! I'll see what I can do.

We have to have a barbecue.
There's plenty of charcoal.

You said your stomach hurt.

It's meat. That's a cure-all.

Did you hear that?

See? The sky is angry.
It wants us to cook meat!

I think it's going to rain.

- On rainy days…
- Meat!

We should have kalguksu!

- Spicy kalguksu!
- What?

- Mr. Yoon?
- Yeah?

Prepare to be summoned.

I'm going to report you
to the Ministry of Labor when we get back.

Don't be so harsh.
I'm a victim too.

Whatever.

I can't do this. My hands hurt.

Na-yun.

Pretend the dough is someone you hate.

It relieves your stress.

And the dough gets chewy.
It kills two birds with one stone.

One for Bae Seok-ryu?

One for Jang Tae-hui?

Yoon Myeong-u. One, two, three, four…

Goodness. You're tearing it apart.

Just kill me. That would be better.

That's enough of your kitty punches.

Goodness.

So does it taste all right?

It's not just all right.

It's really good. Right?

The broth is especially insane.

Really?

Mr. Yoon, do you like it too?

Seok-ryu.

We don't need meat.
Doenjang was the answer.

It's so warm and soothing.

I tip my hat to the making
of Korean pastes and sauces.

You wished for doenjang to disappear
when you were preparing it.

But where did Seung-hyo go?
He's missing dinner.

I don't know.
I called, but he didn't pick up.

Just leave him.
He'll come back when he gets hungry.

You've been so focused on us
that you haven't been able to eat.

- You worked so hard on this.
- No.

I'm eating fine.

Na-yun.

Do you want some more?

Flour's fattening though.

Just a little more.

Okay. Here.

- Can I have some more too?
- Hey.

- Me too.
- Jeez. Then, me too.

I'll bring the pot. Wait here.

If it's good, then it's fine!

- Give it here. I'll take it.
- No, that's okay.

This looks good. Wow!

Seok-ryu!

I'll do it. You can stop now.

We can't have the cook
clean the dishes too.

I lost in rock, paper, scissors
fair and square.

And I broke your jar.
I should make up for that.

You're right.

But will that be enough?

A single onggi of mine
costs more than a million won.

So close.

I could've used you for another day.

Send me your bank account number.
I'll reimburse you.

Send me yours too.

- Your recipe.
- What?

For the spicy kalguksu.
Let's call it even with that.

I haven't had noodles
that good in so long.

It's really easy to make.

You saw the ingredients earlier.

The seasoning is important.

It's three parts gochujang,
one part doenjang.

Three spoonfuls of gochujang
per spoonful of doenjang.

How big is a spoonful?

Is it this much?

I see. You know nothing.

We've got a long way to go.

I was going to scold her parents
when they came.

You're her father?

I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologize to me.

You should apologize to Yeon-du.

How could you leave a sick kid home alone?

How could you let a five-year-old
call 119 on her own?

I have no excuse.

You said you were covering a story.

Are you going to change the world?

Are you saving the country?

How can you accomplish anything
if you can't take care of your kid?

Yeon-du

was alone when I saw her last time.

She had this in her hand
as she was alone again today.

Yeon-du, are you okay? Does anything hurt?

Hey, Yeon-du.

Were you brave for your tests?

Don't yell at my dad.

What?

I hate people who yell at my dad.

Yeon-du, it's not like that.

She didn't do anything wrong.

From now on,
I'm going to ignore you when I see you.

Don't ever talk to me again.

Yeon-du, were you scared
on your own earlier?

No.

You taught me.

Call 112 when I meet a bad person.

Call 119 when I'm hurt.

I'm sorry.

Yeon-du,

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry too.

Why would you be sorry?

I was looking for crop circles.

But you brought me a four-leaf clover,
so I yelled at you. I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Did you make all of these too?

Yeah.

That's so cool.

- I have a lot of scars, don't I?
- I'm sorry for being rude.

What? Not at all.

I'm proud of them. I wanted to show you.

They're marks of my dream.

When I look at them, they remind me
my passion for onggi was quite intense.

I'm fond of them.

Now, they're just like tattoos.

When did you decide
that you wanted to make onggi?

Remember how I said
my dad was a doenjang master?

I grew up around these onggi jars.

They looked so crude and ugly at first.

I wanted to store pastes

in something elegant,
like celadon or porcelain.

But then, I slowly started to like onggi.

Crocks, water jars, and liquor jars.

Compared to decorative ceramics,

practical bowls and jars used by people
looked more beautiful.

That's why I started.
Pretty boring, right?

No.

To me, the stories of people who have
found their dreams always sound special.

I have no idea where or how to start.

What do you like?

Sorry?

It seems you're thinking about it
too seriously.

Just go do what you've always liked doing,
whatever it may be.

What I've always liked?

When the food was being served,

my bowls looked really pretty.

There you are.

Yeah, it's nice here.
The breeze feels cool too.

You don't know what you're saying.

It's hard to even stand here
when the fire's at its hottest.

I suppose so.

Do you remember when Seok-ryu said

that we were passionate in the past?

But we weren't.

It was only me.

My love was as hot as a burning kiln,

but you were a low flame on a gas stove.

It wasn't even hot enough
to cook an egg, let alone a bowl.

Is that why you broke up with me?

Yeah.

I found a man
whose love burned hot.

But do you know what's funny?

I broke up with you,

but it felt like you dumped me.

That's not true.

I took it hard too.

I'm glad to hear that.

I had always hoped
that you would seethe because of me.

You'd lose your temper.

You'd be foolish
since you couldn't control your emotions.

After breaking up, you'd pathetically send
a text and ask, "Are you awake?"

I almost texted you once. I was drunk.

But earlier,

you were so angry.

You yelled at Seok-ryu
and embarrassed her.

I've never seen you do that before.

That's because she messed up.

She didn't do anything wrong.

To tell you the truth,

that jar was cracked.

I was going to move it
to the studio to repair it.

I didn't want to be honest about it.

I think…

I was jealous.

When did he take those?

Why are you out here this late?

I should ask you the same thing.

I couldn't sleep, so I came out.

I saw something white moving outside.

That's because you didn't eat dinner.

There's some dough left.
Do you want some kalguksu?

Later.

Hey, you got the stain out of my shirt.
What did you use?

Rice and vinegar.

How kind and thoughtful of you.

But why do you keep opening those lids?

I'm looking for treasure.

I heard one of these has soy sauce
that's been aged for 100 years.

Soy sauce?

Why are you looking for that?

I'm curious.

I wonder what soy sauce looks like
after being aged for 100 years.

Still, there are so many jars here.
It'll take ages to open them all.

I'll open them, so mind your own business.

How is this soy sauce
different from others?

One of the old ladies
said it's darker and smells richer.

It's still just soy sauce.

How will you remember what you've opened
if you search randomly like this?

You take that side. I'll look here.

Why are you helping me?

You're always trying
to bite my head off these days.

- When did I do that?
- All the time.

You pick fights with me and get irritable
for no reason.

- You're always scolding me.
- Jeez. You're being ridiculous.

You wait and see.

This is gochujang.

This one's doenjang. Darn.

It's soy sauce.

What? You found it already?

Hey, it does look a little darker.

It's amazing.

What is?

This jar…

is filled with the night sky.

It's so dark.

It's sparkling.

I thought you were looking for soy sauce.
What's with the poem?

Spicy noodles. Wild chives and soy sauce.

Pickled perilla leaves.

Why are you suddenly talking about food?
Are you hungry?

Hey, Choisseung.

I think I found it.

Yeah. This is the soy sauce, right?

I mean, a dream doesn't have to be grand
or elaborate.

I can't do anything impressive,
like how you swim the freestyle,

but I think I can manage the dog paddle.

I…

want to cook.

Hey, there are so many things
I want to make with this.

I think I was jealous.

When you're with Seok-ryu,

you're not the person I used to know.

You're irritable and not generous either.

You're pathetic and immature.

And you're always looking
in her direction.

Do you know how you look
when you look at her?

You're just full of curiosity, aren't you?

That's just how I am.

You smile.

When Seok-ryu smiles,

you just smile with her.

I've never done it before,

but if I made soy sauce marinated crabs
with this, it would be awesome, right?

Should I ask her
for a taste of this tomorrow?

Even the smallest difference
can make a big impact, you know?

I've been running away from my feelings
for a long time.

I've ignored and denied them.

But…

after seeing Seok-ryu smile so brightly
in front of me now, I realized.

I…

can't help but like her.

GO BACK TO YOU

LOVE NEXT DOOR

I've known her for so long.

I thought I knew everything about her.

What if I became a cook like my dad?

I thought I'd moved on
from my feelings for her.

But I'm a bit confused
after seeing her again.

I've never confessed
my feelings to her before.

Men stay out late enough to see
the morning dew. That's a serious problem!

I saw you. You were with some woman.

Where did you go off gallivanting
after closing the shop?

Are you having an affair?

You've been distant lately towards me.

I feel like I'm going to
lose my mind because of you!
