Move! Out of my way!

- Are you all right? - I am fine.

Oh, my.

(A Good Day To Be A Dog)

Ms. Han.

(Episode 2)

Gosh, where did she go?

Come on. No way.

That can't be it. Please.

How could he be afraid of me? I mean, I'm so tiny.

No, calm down.

I shouldn't attack him like a zombie would.

I should flaunt my cute charms.

I won't hurt or bite you.

I pay my taxes and donate to charity. I'm a good dog.

Is she not here?

She is somewhere around here.

She must've turned into a dog already.

I wonder if she's managed to lift the curse.

- My gosh. - Let's go.

Gosh, this is nuts.

Hey, what are you doing up there?

Bo Gyeom.

- Mr. Lee? - Hey, are you drunk?

Why did you go up there?

There's a rat.

What? A rat?

A rat?

My gosh!

Come here.

Hey, where did you come from?

You're so cute.

Where's your home?

You are my home.

Does this dog belong to the people at this house?

No, I'm all yours.

Jjong!

- My gosh. Where have you been? - Here.

Goodness. Where did your collar go?

Well, I'm not sure what happened,

but it looks like the situation has been sorted out.

Right, Jjong?

- Let's go. - Okay.

Bo Gyeom.

That huge rat kept jumping down here.

It was coming at me to eat me alive.

A rat? Come on.

Hey, how much did you drink?

Goodness. You drank so much that you've lost yourself.

Which one was the math teacher?

The one who was on that thing.

How do you know?

She was drooling over the one standing.

- He's the Korean history teacher. - I see.

By the way, do you have to be handsome to be a teacher these days?

Clearly, that's not the case for veterinarians. Right?

You little...

Hold on. Where is Ms. Han?

What?

(Mr. Jin Seo Won)

Mr. Jin Seo Won is calling.

Hey, don't pick up.

Don't answer it.

I should text him.

"Mr. Jin, I'm sorry."

"Something urgent has come up,"

"so I had to leave."

So your first attempt failed miserably.

Don't number them.

There won't be a 2nd or 3rd time.

Next time, I'll be sure to succeed.

It's not something you can control.

But don't you think Mr. Jin is so weird?

Why is he that afraid of such a little dog?

I guess he has a traumatic memory about dogs.

But I'm super cute.

Seriously, what should I do now?

What can you do?

You have to kiss him again to lift the curse.

Right, but how am I supposed to kiss him?

He absolutely hates dogs.

Kiss him when he's asleep.

- But how? - Date him.

Hae Na can't date him just because she needs to.

No, I have Mr. Lee.

Last night, Mr. Lee held me like this and said, "You're so cute!"

He held me and caressed like this.

Did you see that?

Right, because you were a dog. He wouldn't treat you like that now.

Don't worry, Uncle.

I'll get it all sorted out.

I highly doubt that.

The situation has gotten even worse.

What do you mean?

You kissed him by mistake.

So you offered to treat him to a meal,

but you left without paying.

- In his perspective, you're... - A dine-and-dasher.

- Yes, you pulled a dine and dash. - Yes, you dined and dashed.

That was on point.

- Only jerks do stuff like that. - Yes, total jerks.

He probably doesn't even want to see her again.

A dine-and-dasher?

- Hey, come here. - Come here!

- Hey! - Come here!

Get back here!

Did she see that?

- Hello. - Hello, good morning.

Good morning.

Won. You haven't forgotten about our date after work today, right?

A date? What are you doing tonight?

He called me last night...

and made me drive him home.

So he's taking me out tonight.

Mr. Jin, did you drink last night?

Yes.

Anyway,

what did you and Ms. Han talk about that you drank so much?

You and Ms. Han went out for drinks alone?

Why?

We had a situation.

What kind of situation?

Oh, I see.

She must've dragged you out and forced you to drink.

Ms. Han and I are in the same department, so I see her every day.

And I must say, she's quite immature.

It's tiring to be around her.

- Ms. Yoon. - Yes?

You're talking behind her back when you don't even know her well.

It doesn't look nice.

Right.

I rarely say stuff like that.

I should go and get ready for my class.

You said Ms. Han suddenly disappeared last night.

Did something happen?

I have to go to the print room.

Okay.

(Teacher's Office)

You said something came up. Did you get everything sorted out?

Yes, my sister called me out of the blue.

I'm really sorry.

Did something else happen?

Something else, like what?

It's nothing.

Send me your bank account info.

I said I'd treat you but ended up leaving without paying.

Send the money to Bo Gyeom. He paid for it.

Oh, right. Why did Mr. Lee suddenly show up?

- You saw him? - No, I did not.

You said he paid.

Oh, you must've called him to set me up with him. Right?

Yes.

Then if you've decided to help me,

how about we meet up regularly so you can give me some pointers?

"Regularly?"

Yes. Will that be too much of a hassle for you?

Yes, it'll be a hassle.

Just think that you're giving alms to build good karma.

Please help me.

Then I'll help you just this once.

Really?

Bo Gyeom and I are supposed to go somewhere this evening.

Do you want to go instead of me?

You won't come with us?

- No, of course not. - Why not?

Why should I tag along?

If it's just the two of us, it'll look too much like a date.

I thought you wanted a date with him.

Yes. I do, but...

If it's just the two of us, my heart might race like crazy.

What if I have a heart attack and die?

I didn't know you liked him that much.

Well, that was just an example.

Fine.

I'll tag along, then.

But the rest is up to you.

Thank you.

("The Girl's Dream")

("Z World")

Two guys coming here together?

- Ms. Han. - Gosh.

- Ms. Yoon. - What are you doing here?

What about you?

Did Mr. Lee call you here?

No, Mr. Jin.

I see.

Did Mr. Jin invite you too?

No, Mr. Lee called me here.

- Ms. Han. - Yes?

You're interested in Mr. Lee, aren't you?

Sorry?

Come on. It's just us here now. You can tell me.

Well, I...

I'll help you so you can go out with him.

No, it's okay.

Why not? You both look like puppies. You'd make a cute couple.

Mr. Jin!

We'll have so much fun here.

Have you played this room escape game before?

No.

Ms. Yoon wanted to come here too.

Did you invite Ms. Han?

- Yes. - I see.

But you two aren't that close. Am I wrong?

You are wrong. We're very close.

Right?

Yes.

Put this on. Put your hands on each other's shoulders...

and follow me.

Put this on like this?

Walk slowly and follow me.

- Are we going the right way? - Solve the problem...

using the hidden clues...

and escape the room within the given amount of time.

I'm scared.

What?

Maybe it's something super simple, like 1234.

No, never mind.

Let's have a look around.

There must be some hints.

Shall we look for them?

Could this be a clue?

Oh, maybe. Try solving it.

You sure are a match teacher.

Wait.

Look, here. I think there's something here.

My gosh!

But it's too high.

Seo Won, can you lift me up?

I think there's something up here.

No, you're heavy.

Hey, don't waste your time solving that math problem.

I think we have to open this thing. Right?

- Yes, totally. - Yes.

Mr. Jin, then can you lift me up?

Well...

- Ms. Han. - Yes?

Oh, there's something.

Gosh, no!

Stop that!

Hold on.

Gosh, get that thing out of my sight!

- No! Go away! - Look, we found it.

You have five minutes left.

We really don't have much time left.

- Hurry up and open it. - Oh, no.

Ms. Han, do you see anything over there?

No, nothing. I really have no idea. What should we do?

Oh, no. We're stuck here.

We only have four minutes left.

What do we do?

(Art Room)

What?

- He figured it out. - What?

- We can escape. - What?

- We can escape this room. - What happened?

- Mr. Jin. - How did you do that?

Yes, I think I can buy time until midnight.

I'll be sure to lift the curse today.

You just wait, Yu Na. I'll...

Ms. Han.

(Escape Room)

Why did you come out alone?

They went to the restroom.

I see.

I'm really sorry about earlier.

It gave me such a scare.

It's okay.

I want to apologize, so how about some chicken and beer? It's on me.

Are you in?

The three of you can go without me. I should get going.

What? Why?

- I'm a little tired. - I see.

Then come with us and sit next to us for just a few minutes. Okay?

No, I'm off.

Wait!

Just one beer. Please?

To tell you the truth, I don't like to drink.

Drinking often will help you increase your tolerance, you know?

- No, I do not like to drink. - Come on. Drink just a bit.

Just a little bit. Please?

Can you not hear me?

How many times do I have to say no?

Well, I just want to get to know you better.

Why, all of a sudden? Because of Bo Gyeom?

Yes. You said you'd help me date him.

That's why I came here.

Right. I understand...

that this was a lot for you.

I happened to hear the other day...

that you were uncomfortable around me.

"For some reason."

Why do you feel uncomfortable around me?

I didn't mean it like that.

What are you, a nutcracker?

And what am I, a walnut?

You keep picking on me and at me...

over and over!

I need to at least know the reason...

to do something about it.

Forget it. I'm off.

Ms. Han, the thing is...

Bye.

Why did I suddenly lash out at him like that?

I must say, I've been quite clingy.

He probably thinks I'm like a leech.

What? How come there are three glasses?

Gosh, Mr. Jin said to me that he was too tired.

Did he suddenly perk up once I left?

Ms. Han, why did you leave?

Come and join us if you change your mind.

(Mr. Lee Bo Gyeom)

It's not about whether or not I want to join you.

Gosh, wait. No!

Wait! One moment.

(Ms. Han Hae Na)

That math teacher is a bit too harsh too.

He didn't have to be that cold.

Even the neighbourhood dogs might be mad...

if they get rejected that many times. Darn it.

Right?

Why does he hate me so much?

I really don't get it.

I had never done anything wrong to get in Mr. Jin's bad graces.

You had never done anything wrong?

Hey, didn't you say...

he was scared of dogs?

You know what?

It might be the curse. Ever since you two were young,

the neighbourhood dogs liked you...

and kept following you around when you hadn't done a thing.

Right.

Why do dogs love us?

- We never did anything nice. - Exactly.

That teacher is terrified of dogs.

But think about it.

All kinds of dogs from the area must circle around her.

Let me give you an example.

Let's say you're terrified of pigeons.

Now, picture yourself...

with someone who has ten pigeons on his shoulders.

Sometimes, one of the pigeons gets on his head and flutters its wings.

They also poop from time to time.

That's crazy.

Come to think of it, that day...

We have mini gimbap and tteokbokki.

Darn it. We didn't buy blood sausages.

What? Where did he go?

That day too.

I heard the mango cake is good,

But that one looks good too.

What should we do?

Right. That time too.

I'll get going.

You're right.

He's so scared of dogs.

But dogs are always around me.

He can't run away from dogs when people are around.

Woo Taek, you're a genius.

It's nothing. Let's eat.

What a genius.

You guys aren't allowed to come near me now.

Let's go to a coin karaoke room.

- That sounds great! - Right?

Did you find a group for the music assignment?

We have an assignment?

- I told you about that. You dummy. - What?

- Hey. - Who is it?

- Someone's smoking a cigarette. - No way.

In their school uniforms? They're so brazen.

Let's go.

It's Ms. Han. Ms. Han!

- Ms. Han. - Ms. Han.

Ms. Han. Over there.

Can you scold those guys from Kyungwon High School?

They're smoking in front of our school.

- Is that so? - They do this all the time.

The smell of their cigarettes is driving us crazy.

Okay. I'll talk to them.

Really?

- That jerk. - How about the Internet café?

The Internet café?

It's those guys.

You guys.

You're students. You shouldn't be smoking in front of our school.

Just keep moving, lady.

I'm a teacher at Garam High School.

So what? You don't teach at our school.

You guys go to Kyungwon High School, right?

Which grade? Which class are you in?

- Put that out now. - I will...

put it out after I smoke one more cigarette, ma'am.

Gosh, you jerk.

Hey.

You're such an idiot.

- What did I do, you jerk? - Did you just smile?

She's about to cry because you keep teasing her.

You shouldn't make women cry.

Don't you agree?

Ma'am.

Are you crying?

Hey, what are your names?

Why aren't you wearing your name tags?

Ma'am.

You just touched my chest, right?

Isn't this sexual harassment?

Is it allowed for a female teacher...

to touch male students' chest like this?

How dare you?

Should we report her?

Awesome.

No.

We should touch hers and call it even.

Ma'am.

Then excuse me.

She asked you what your names were.

Let go of me.

Your name.

Mr. Jin.

Their names are Seo Chang Soo,

Min Kyung Seok,

and Do Jae Min.

Get out of my way. Darn it.

Are you all right, Ms. Han?

Yes.

Kids these days aren't scared of teachers.

Okay. Thank you.

- I'll see you at school later. - Okay.

Ms. Han.

Is something wrong?

You don't look so good.

What is it?

What's wrong?

Hello.

I went to sleep pretty late last night.

I'm feeling a bit tired.

You should've gone to sleep early then.

Why did you suddenly disappear on me last night?

I ate so much chicken talking about the weather because of you.

Sorry.

If you're sorry,

buy me a soufflé cheesecake.

Okay.

I also like...

soufflé cheesecakes very much.

I'll buy you one too.

Don't you like tiramisu?

Ask him now.

No. I'm good.

- Hello. - Hello.

- No way. - Hello.

(Knock before entering the teacher's office.)

- Hello. - Hello.

"Peace Under Heaven" is a full-length novel.

But when the novel was serialized back then,

there was a subtitle.

It's in the 3rd paragraph on Page 243.

"'Ho' Will Be the Downfall of the Qin Dynasty."

Turning into a dog every night...

is too tiring. Seriously.

Mr. Jin.

What are you doing here at this hour?

This is my free period too.

Are you feeling better?

I was a bit startled this morning.

But I'm all right now.

That was pathetic, right?

A teacher being scared of students.

No.

That was understandable.

The kids were watching,

but I had to teach.

I didn't even know what else I could do.

If it had been a dream, I would've wet myself...

Anyway...

I'm fine now.

If it had been in my dream,

I would've wet myself too.

Sorry about yesterday.

Sorry I suddenly got mad.

I was sorry too.

Now that I think about it,

it was only natural for you to misunderstand.

Something...

happens to me when I'm with you...

It must seem like I'm avoiding you.

But the thing is...

I actually...

Give him a foot massage.

Block well, or else you'll break a bone.

Mr. Jin.

Sorry.

I don't know what it is,

but if it's hard to talk about, you don't have to tell me.

Seeing how hard you're trying to explain things,

I can tell you're not doing it because you don't like me.

Everyone has their own story,

and we can all have a secret we keep inside our hearts.

Then, I'll get going now.

Ms. Han.

Thank you for understanding.

You're welcome.

And...

I'll try harder to be a bridge between you...

and Bo Gyeom.

Okay.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Oh, Mr. Jin. I have a question for you.

The code you figured out in the first room yesterday.

How did you do that?

Another word for king in Korean is "Imgeum."

So, I took the first syllable.

The Chinese character for dragon in the 12 zodiac signs is "Jin."

"Reverse a word."

W, A, R.

It's a war.

Then, the clues that are left...

Im, Jin, and war.

Gosh, no way. The Imjin War.

By the way, those rooms were made so well they make you want to escape.

I don't get why Bo Gyeom wanted to go there with me alone.

It gives me the creeps.

The Jeonggye Monument on Mount Baekdu...

was placed to indicate the border between Joseon and the Qing Empire.

The message engraved in stone states that the Yalu River to the west...

and the Tomun River to the east are the borders.

The Jeonggye Monument on Mount Baekdu could be on the test.

Be sure to memorize it. Got it?

- Yes, Mr. Lee. - Yes, Mr. Lee.

That's it for today's lesson.

For next class,

we're going to have a fun discussion.

The topic will be,

"If you could go back in history..."

"to reverse something that happened,"

"when and where would you go?"

Got it?

Mr. Lee, will we be graded on this too?

I will be sure to grade you, punk.

Gosh, I'm in trouble. What do I do?

Mr. Lee, what about you?

When and where do you want to go?

For me,

I'll go back to 1592.

Why?

An inescapable and unchangeable misfortune started then.

(Year 1592)

- Get them! - Get them!

Chase them down!

Oh, gosh.

Let's eat.

There we go.

What should I do with you?

So, did you set a time to meet?

I haven't yet. But I should.

What about the dog thing?

Did you talk about it?

The thing is,

it seemed like he wanted to keep his fear of dogs a secret.

Why?

I saw Mr. Jin smile today.

That was the first time...

I saw him smile.

Why would that even matter?

Hey.

Just get to know him quickly and lift the curse.

Okay?

Hello?

Hey. Why is it so hard to reach you?

Everyone has their own story,

and we can all have a secret we keep inside our hearts.

We're out of ramyeon.

Uncle!

I'm going to the convenience store. Do you want anything?

What? Where did he go?

I'll be expelled if I get caught smoking once more.

Just get expelled, then, you idiot.

Darn it.

Hey, find out about that guy.

Let's gather the guys and trample on him.

Shall I find some dirt on a Garam High kid?

Don't just talk about it and do it.

You frustrating punk.

It's just full of selfies.

Hey, she's pretty.

What? Is it this?

It's this punk, right?

Doesn't he kind of look like me?

- Hello. - Welcome.

What was that?

Hi, buddy.

Can you come over here for a second?

Please call the police for me.

Yes. Hello?

Is this Ms. Han Hae Na, a teacher at Garam High School?

Yes. What is this about?

This is Hyunseo Patrol Division.

Yes, I see.

You are the homeroom teacher for Choi Yul, correct?

The patrol division?

(Hyunseo Patrol Division)

Gosh, what'll we do?

My goodness.

I told you to call your parents!

Why won't you answer?

You should answer when an adult speaks to you.

Don't you have any parents? Are you an orphan?

Ma'am.

Please calm down.

From what I hear,

it was your son and his friends who started picking on him first.

He should apologize.

I didn't hit him. I only dodged out of the way.

He just tripped over his own foot and fell down.

Don't lie to me.

My baby.

What'll we do about my baby's face?

"Baby?"

Gosh, you're embarrassing me.

Mom, give it a rest.

You stay out of this.

Hey.

Where are your parents?

Where are they?

I don't have any.

See?

This is why you can tell when kids don't have proper family education.

You go around beating people up...

since you haven't learned anything at home.

Excuse me.

You speak too harshly.

Ms. Han.

It looks to me that you're a young female teacher...

who can't even control her own students.

You should educate them better.

Don't cause other people's kids any harm.

I guess so.

I must've seemed like an easy target as a young, female teacher.

I was threatened by this student this morning.

This is a serious criminal offence,

and I can press charges, right, officer?

Yes, that's right.

This morning, your son...

was smoking and got caught by me.

That must be why he took it out on my student.

If you feel so wronged,

should we convene...

a school violence committee to handle this?

What? A school violence committee?

Do you have any proof? Do you?

Excuse me for a moment.

He still has the pack he was smoking this morning.

Kids can do stuff like that.

No, they can't.

It's a teacher's job to teach kids that.

And a parent's job too.

You little punk.

Why are you hitting me?

- Thank you. - Thank you.

You didn't get hurt, did you?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry. Because of me...

No.

I feel sorry about you getting involved this morning.

But why didn't you call your parents?

Did you think you'd get in trouble?

Well, I really couldn't.

They live in Australia.

Why didn't you tell me that?

You should've mentioned it during individual counselling.

Well...

Then do you live alone?

No.

I live with a relative.

And why didn't you call that person?

Things might get out of hand.

He'll worry so much even though it's no big deal.

Still, you should tell him.

Next time.

How will you get home? I'll go with you.

I think the buses have stopped running.

Gosh. Hey.

When did it get so late?

Yul, I'm really sorry,

but you can get home by yourself, right? I forgot something at home.

I'll get going. Bye.

Ms. Han!

Don't follow me.

Okay? Don't.

Bye.

Pick up now.

Hello? Woo Taek, I'm in big trouble right now.

Ms. Han, what's going on?

I'm sorry.

Your phone. What do we do?

I'll get it out for you quickly.

No, it's okay.

I dropped it on purpose. I meant to throw it away.

You were talking on the phone until just now.

I'll get it out for you in no time.

It's really fine.

I never liked this phone to begin with.

I was going to buy a new one.

Gosh, I feel so relieved.

Still, if you throw this out here...

No, it's fine.

You should get home soon.

Bye.

It looks like a perfectly fine phone.

Bye!

See you tomorrow!

Why won't she say anything?

You can't resist

Your sister is totally drunk.

- Come and get her! - I am right here

Why are you doing this?

Gosh, midnight... Why are you so heavy?

- Got to go, got to go - Then go home already.

Gosh, no. We're friends.

Why are you still here?

Ms. Han, your phone.

Hey, what time is it?

It's midnight.

A dog...

I told her to come and get her sister. Why did she hang up?

Oh, it's past midnight.

I don't want to kiss

But my lips keep pouting

Did you eat garlic scapes?

Yul. Wake up.

Come to your senses.

Are you awake?

Let's run away for now.

That's a dog.

Ms. Han...

is a dog?

Wait.

Ms. Han. Wait.

Ms. Han. Wait.

Got you!

These darn short legs.

You really are a puppy.

This is a puppy.

How can a person change into a dog?

No, I must've seen the wrong thing.

Yes, you saw the wrong thing.

That's not true.

I'm sure she changed right before my eyes.

Does that mean this puppy is really Ms. Han?

Is that you, Ms. Han?

No, I'm not.

No. This makes no sense.

This is just a puppy.

It's not Ms. Han.

Right. I'm a puppy. Bark!

So, please. Just let me go.

What do I do?

Should I go to the police station first?

No, they'll think I'm crazy.

Should I report it to 911?

The hospital?

A research lab?

Ms. Han.

What am I supposed to do?

Please say something.

You can just let me go.

Your dog is very well-behaved.

Yes.

Your dog is opening the window.

Ms. Han. Hang on for just a bit.

Ms. Han. Wait for a little while.

How do I get out of here?

Still, she's a guest in our house.

I should at least serve some tea...

Do dogs drink tea too?

Aren't you going to drink it?

I don't want to.

Do you live by yourself, Ms. Han?

I think your family will be worried.

Do you want me to contact them?

I brought all your stuff.

Your clothes, your bag,

and your phone.

(Draw your unlock pattern)

It's locked.

(Draw your unlock pattern)

It's unlocked.

Ms. Han.

It's really you.

Ms. Han.

How did you become a dog?

What if you can't ever return to your normal self?

Say something, please?

Ms. Han!

My gosh.

(Hae Na)

Hello?

Why is a man picking up?

Ms. Han.

Did she fall asleep?

How cute.

I can't believe there's a dog on my bed.

Right. A picture.

No, this is Ms. Han.

It's illegal to take a picture of her without her permission.

Still, just one...

The puppy is so cute,

but she's Ms. Han.

She must be tired.

I'll act like I'm sleeping...

then get out of here once he falls asleep.

What? Is he sleeping?

Goodness.

What do I do?

I see. Okay. Nice.

My biggest strength...

is that I give up easily.

First, I'll wait until it's 6am.

Then when I turn back into my human form, I'll leave.

I can't fall asleep, no matter what.

I can't fall...

Who is that?

Ms. Han?

Is this a dream?

(A Good Day To Be A Dog)

You got caught...

by a student in your class?

On top of that, he's Mr. Jin's nephew.

Why is there a dog?

Mandeuk? Please be understanding of his presence for just a day.

What? Mandeuk went home?

Ms. Han, are you free tonight?

Didn't you say you weren't finished grading the assessments?

Did you wait long?

Thank you for today.

I know you helped me in various ways.

What's going on between them?

About how there's nothing between us?

No feelings whatsoever?
