Original subtitles

(This drama series is fictional, and the places, persons, organizations,)

(settings, and events depicted have been fictionally created.)

With that look,

you should head to an idol agency, not ssireum.

Is there a reason you joined this show?

I have feelings for someone.

It's been a while,

but I never got to tell her I like her.

So I want to win and ask her out with pride.

I don't want to wait any longer.

- Tae Jin Ah. - Tae Jin Ah.

Your clothes look pretty.

Are you...

Park?

- Tae Jin Ah. - Tae Jin Ah.

- Tae Jin Ah. - Tae Jin Ah.

(Episode 7, Does Anyone Love)

So lucky.

Tae Jin Ah.

My goodness.

Is that man waiting for you?

Probably.

I will get going first.

She isn't only good at cursing,

but singing and dating as well.

There's so much to learn from her.

Now,

why don't you prove yourself?

Where do I start?

Yes.

Selling pots and all stainless bowls at home...

just to go to Tae Jin Ah's concert?

What else?

Right. That Kyung Tae or Dong Tae guy from church.

You went to ask him out.

Then you farted in front of him...

and cried for the next couple of days.

There's more.

Stop. That's enough.

Gosh, you jerk.

Do you know how much I was worried? I thought you dropped dead on the street.

You look well.

Did you meet that taxi driver too?

I'll tell you about it later.

Good to meet you again.

Ms. O Du Ri.

Right.

My name is Park Jun.

What? Jun?

My goodness.

How ugly.

Jun? Seriously.

I can't believe you. Jun?

Anyway, see you later.

My goodness.

Was Park Gap Yong that attractive?

("Strange Sisters who rushed the stage and showed a legendary performance")

(The advent of true retro deities)

What's your plan?

An unexpected reaction at an unexpected timing.

I didn't see this coming.

It's not like we can reveal they're from our agency just for that reaction.

In terms of marketing strategy,

this is better than clumsy mysticism.

- What? - Regardless of our will, people are...

paying attention to them, and it's our job to take advantage of it.

Let's prepare a press release first.

Mother is back, but she's a bit...

No, she's very weird. You have to come home now.

(Managing Director Office)

That's all I can tell you.

I'm not hurt,

but I'm being forgetful.

If I act weird, don't be startled.

Of course. Don't worry.

I like your new sophisticated look.

But the way you speak...

What about it?

Pardon?

Well, you used to speak in a dialect.

I'm surprised that you suddenly got rid of it.

She always knew how to talk without it.

Are you sure you're not hurt?

Why? Are you even worried?

Aside from the way you speak, you look like a totally different person.

Isn't that what you wanted?

After the near-death experience, the world seemed different.

It kind of cleared my mind.

Clear your mind.

That's a good thing.

Right, honey?

I dedicated my life to you long enough.

There is a limit to a mother's love.

And I've exceeded the limit.

From now on, it's give and take.

No meddling and no replying. Let's live our lives now.

What? You got a problem?

We need to take Mother to the hospital.

She said she wasn't ill.

She knew how to speak without a dialect?

If a young woman speaks in a dialect while running a restaurant,

people would ignore her, so she avoided using it.

That's how meticulous your mother-in-law is.

Yet, "give and take"?

Why is she using English like someone else?

How could you be so apathetic?

She's been attending senior university and English academy for a while...

to avoid being a shame to her smart daughter and granddaughter...

for not knowing English.

But...

I've never seen her using it with pride before.

She seemed determined.

Right?

She's cutting us off, right?

She's definitely not acting like herself.

But it doesn't mean it's not her.

Something clearly happened...

Dedicated her life to me?

She saw that right through.

Actually this is better.

Now we can talk.

I don't know about that. She said it's give and take.

I'm worried she might want...

the late rent...

- The late rent? - Shoot.

Dang it.

Is she really a mother of a daughter?

What are you doing here?

Mal Soon.

Okay. I get that you came to me because I'm your family.

But...

what the heck are you doing in my house...

pretending to be me?

And I made it clear...

that our relationship was over a long ago.

There's no end to family.

Just because you don't want to see me,

you think you can end the family like that?

It came this far because I thought it was over.

Every time...

I think about a family, it makes me furious.

I don't know what you're thinking, but let's end it here.

- Leave. - No.

I can't do that.

What?

Now I know the life you had...

and the life you have now.

How can I possibly leave you after that?

What are you saying?

You'll need my help.

What if I refuse?

How are you going to kick me out?

Tell them that you're O Mal Soon.

Two heads are better than one.

What?

Two people working together is better than one person.

Leave hopeless O Mal Soon to me.

Cherish your time.

And enjoy it.

What are you blabbering about in English?

Do you think this riddle is funny?

Are you being rude to my mother-in-law again?

No.

I can...

explain.

My mother-in-law is under my protection now.

If you startle or bug my mother-in-law one more time,

I will be really furious.

It's not that I don't know how to get mad. I just don't get mad often.

I don't care that you're a lady.

This is frustrating.

Anyway,

I'll take care of it.

How can you avoid my help under my roof?

Okay.

I will be...

careful from now on.

How dare you?

Glaring those big eyes...

at my mother-in-law?

Mother, are you okay?

We have an unfinished conversation.

You better explain yourself well.

Dang it.

The man in the yellow shirt

That quiet man

For some reason

Ae Sim.

How many schedules today?

Do I have to work all night long like yesterday?

I almost passed out.

So why did you become a hit?

From broadcasting stations to army camps.

Everyone wants Kim Ae Sim.

Even yellow fabric is sold out...

in Dongdaemun Market.

Come on. Let's go.

You...

What are you doing here?

Did you just see the Grim Reaper?

What's that look on your face?

Excuse me, but who are you?

A friend?

Right.

Even a thief is still a friend.

She's a waitress at the bar I used to go to.

I don't know what it's about, but I'm busy. I'll talk to you later.

Let's talk.

Why now?

We have to leave in five.

What are you pulling here?

And what was that? A thief?

If you're not a thief, should I call you a robber?

What?

Your face is on every channel in this land.

I hear your voice even if I shut my eyes.

Because of that, someone can barely have a sip of water.

Yet you have the guts to go to work?

How can you be wearing this?

This wasn't going to be yours anyway.

- Face it. - It was mine.

Choon Ho gave it to me.

When he saw me running around...

with heavy beer mugs,

I reminded him of a yellow chick and bloomed forsythia.

I reminded him of exciting...

and throbbing lyrics.

So what?

You can't even tell if that's music or bean sprouts.

I met Choon Ho way before you did.

Until you appeared, I was his muse.

What? Muse?

Everything's back to its place.

Don't be so sad about a mere song.

Live your life.

And don't come back to me again.

You think you only stole a song?

You stole my dream and my life.

That was the only thing...

this uneducated and poor loner...

liked, was good at,

and the only reason to carry on.

And that's what you stole from me!

You gross me out.

And that's not how you sing "The Man in the Yellow Shirt."

You're not supposed to stand firmly and act all pretty when you sing it.

Open your eyes softly,

leave your body to the rhythm,

and enjoy singing,

so all listeners would dance.

That's how you're supposed to sing it, you wench.

We're late. Let's go, Ae Sim.

There's this suspicious girl.

Will you look into her?

What are you watching?

It's Ha Na. We haven't seen her...

smiling like this for years.

My goodness.

I don't see or hear...

anything else.

All I see is the big smile on her face.

Father.

(Missed Call, Chairwoman Kim)

You're up early.

Do you want some?

Mother has...

not only changed her style, but her taste as well.

It's coffee. Americano.

I know that you've changed.

So stop forcing yourself. Or you'll get sick.

She wants something light for breakfast from now on.

Your taste changes when you grow old.

Good to meet you again. Ms. O Du Ri.

My name is Park Jun.

How are you going to kick me out?

Tell them that you're O Mal Soon.

What?

How can you avoid my help under my roof?

And my mom doesn't like it when other people touch her things.

Go upstairs.

Leave hopeless O Mal Soon to me.

Cherish your time. And enjoy it.

Shoot.

You almost scared me to death.

Hey.

What's going to happen to Ha Na and me?

You're not going to kick us out or something...

just for some small mistakes, are you?

Who knows?

You even let people play rock-paper-scissors three times.

If we show you how hard we try,

would that change your mind?

Yes. The video at the park. It's going viral.

Would that extenuate the situation?

Extenuate, my butt.

It's not like you committed a crime.

All it takes to be a sinner...

is desperation and weakness.

Don't worry.

I'll make you a savior, not a sinner.

What?

Remember what I said after the audition in LA?

I said I would take care of you no matter what.

Were we...

really in such a serious...

relationship?

What?

You don't want that?

No food in the restroom.

No dating at work.

If anyone says you're tacky, I'll make it retro.

If anyone says you have an old sentiment, I'll make it a rich sentiment.

If you cause trouble sometimes,

I'll cover it up as marketing.

Don't be scared, Emily.

What...

How can he say he'll take care of me that easily?

What am I thinking?

I haven't been able to sleep lately. Coffee is my medicine.

Sorry to make you come early in the morning.

No, I don't mind.

I've known you since you were 20 as Jun Hyuk's friend.

So I can say we're close, right?

To be honest, I was disappointed in you.

I know Han Jun Hyuk is stubborn,

but I expected you to understand me.

I understand you're displeased.

Emily, that girl.

She's not just getting on my nerves. She's too much to handle.

It's embarrassing and painful...

to feel this way about a young girl especially when she's my artist.

But I guess I'm getting old.

I don't want to deal with any situation or people...

that gives me a hard time. What should I do?

Chairwoman Kim.

Don't worry. I'm not trying to put you in a spot.

It's common for a trainee to quit.

I'll get rid of her in my own way as soon as possible.

And you just need to come up with a backup plan.

Have you seen the video of her performance?

She doesn't sing with her head, but with her body.

Her vibe is different from those who learned it.

It makes sense why Daniel favors her.

When I was young,

there was someone like her.

Some people called her a genius.

She was my competitor for a short period of time.

Then I recently found out that she's running a rice soup place.

That was all she had.

Genius talent and popularity.

The public's brief attention.

I'm not interested in that.

Based on the fair evaluation,

aren't Elements' members already determined?

Stop.

Don't you move.

I'm doing my best...

to fulfill my duty as a breadwinner.

But you know what Ji Sook said?

If I'd ever stop my pity job.

She's so tired that she doesn't even want to talk to me.

Even when I was in the army,

not even my senior insulted me like this.

Who did your daughter take after?

Are you belittling me?

Well, it's not my business.

I can't meddle with your relationship.

By the way, aren't you going to help me improve my relationship with her?

What can a koala do...

in a lion and a tiger's fight? Gosh, I'm out.

I heard that cute koala...

has an overdue rent.

Help or die.

What?

Well,

I might sound cheap,

but that's how desperate I am.

You should be desperate too.

To put the rent and my life on the scale,

something occurs to me.

I was a signalman, so I'm quite good at wiretapping.

- Cut to the chase. - Yes.

It seems this incident occurred...

after she communicated with a woman in her 60s.

Come on.

I'm talking about Ji Sook starting to act like an adolescent girl.

"Yes. I'll see you at the hospital."

Then she returned...

with red eyes.

And she was depressed and refused to eat all day.

Anyway, the smoking gun of this mystery...

is definitely that woman who called Ji Sook to the hospital.

(Confirmation Request)

(Husband - I can never get tired of it.)

(Honey, I'm watching Ha Na's video...)

(again and again nonstop.)

(Isn't Ha Na awesome?)

I'm darn busy.

The man in the yellow shirt

That quiet man

For some reason I like him

The man in the yellow shirt

That quiet man

For some reason I like him

For some reason...

What am I thinking?

You know our talk...

is a secret, right?

Try to dig in as much as you can.

That's your only way to survive. Okay?

Do you get it?

Of course.

I do.

Right, Mother.

One more thing.

You must not tell anyone about our trade. Not even in your dream.

My wife and my daughter are living their lives to the full.

I'm ashamed.

Gosh.

This is Ha Na's favorite.

Okay.

What we're doing is...

for the peace and economy of our family.

Okay?

By the way, how's the rice soup place doing?

(O Mal Soon Beef Head Meat and Rice Soup)

They're not doing as well as before.

Still...

The rice soup...

But you just had a burger combo.

Mother.

Wait for me, Mother.

How's your business going?

- Do you recognize me? - Hello.

Your rice soup is here.

- It's hot. - I got it.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

Hey, it doesn't taste...

The silver class isn't as fun as before.

How can it be so different just because two people are missing?

I like it.

Don't you think something's strange?

What do you mean?

O suddenly disappeared without a trace.

This time, Mr. Park is gone.

It's obvious that they fled together...

to shack up.

Watch your mouth.

What? Mr. Park is good-looking.

He's handsome and has good manners.

- Anyone would fall for him. - Yes.

If you're going to talk about something ugly and stupid,

don't call me again.

I'll take out the remaining rice soup.

What?

Don't be like that.

My wife isn't completely wrong.

Let's admit it. The two were very close.

No matter how much I think about it,

the two fled to shack up.

I can guarantee you.

Seriously.

So? How much are you going to bet?

Mal Soon.

Long time no see, everyone.

Was your life away from home better?

You look good.

You look worse than before.

People would think you're a mother and a son,

not a couple.

The shadier your life is,

the more you gossip.

What?

Gosh, I can't stand your greedy wrinkly face.

What's the point of making money?

Are you saving it for your new wife when your old one dies?

Hey.

I'm sorry, but Mr. Park isn't my type.

If I were to reveal my type,

I'd prefer wild Robert De Niro...

over sharp Tom Cruise.

Anyway, if you know what I mean,

shut the mouth, please.

Nice one.

Ma'am. Too bad.

We suddenly got a massive order.

How many servings do we have left?

- We're all out. - We're all out.

You should come back next time.

I promise to serve you then.

We've been thriving lately.

We're out of rice too.

(2024 Ssireum Idol Championship)

(Park Jun)

Up.

Stand.

Ready.

(Fall Ssireum Champion of the Year)

(54 years ago)

Keep it up.

(2024 1st Ssireum Idol Championship)

He's so handsome.

He's hot.

- So hot. - I thought he was an idol.

(The advent of true retro deities)

(They're legendary.)

Why is everyone making a fuss over nothing?

Why am I getting a sad feeling...

that they'd do better than us when we did better in the evaluation?

A lucky one's bread...

even fall on butter.

Did you see this?

("Strange Sisters who rushed the stage and showed a legendary performance")

What's so good about entertaining grannies?

So you saw it?

The evaluation result will be released soon.

The result will be obvious though.

(1.02 million views, 2nd in trending)

What's the point of the evaluation then?

Let's admit it.

They did it without discussing with us to get attention.

It's a rule violation.

Come on. It was filmed by chance.

They were lucky.

This will let down talented trainees who aren't lucky.

Now that everyone knows they're members of Elements,

they're guaranteed to be fixed.

The public's response is their luck as well as their talent, and the answer.

You already know that.

If you now know what people like,

you must start moving.

Let's change the title song. I already started working on it.

What?

("2. Jersey Club Instrumental Version 1")

"Jersey Club?"

It's going viral online.

Any thoughts?

It's cheerful,

yet it's sad and sentimental.

It has a retro vibe.

I plan to go retro for the general theme.

I'll have to talk to the A&R Team for details.

But we got the theme clear.

Awesome.

It's new,

but don't you think it's too dangerous to change the title song now?

I think we have a chance.

What do you say?

Gosh. Stop it. That's bad luck.

Why won't they tell us the result?

They're making me nervous to death.

If you have time to bite your nails, practice.

Look at this.

Is it just me?

Aren't you worried?

As you know, there was a big issue.

And as a result, there will be a big change.

It's ironic that the two who recorded the lowest in the evaluation...

got approved by the public first.

But take that as your new motivation.

I'll let it slide this time...

because it was just a coincidence.

No more acting on your own.

Even if you record ten million views,

you'll be out. Keep that in mind.

Yes.

I'm safe.

Let's practice.

Hey.

Fair play?

Acting on your own behind our backs and manipulate the comments?

So much for playing fair.

How can you backstab us like this?

Beating someone fairly with my own skills...

isn't called backstabbing but teaching you a lesson.

If it hurts, you should try harder.

Don't vent your anger on me. That's pathetic.

What? Pathetic?

Yes, that's pathetic.

What do you lack so much that you're always restless...

and dying to come at me?

Why can't you just focus on yourself?

You think you know everything and you're always right?

You have no idea how annoying that was...

since the day I first saw you?

You think you're the grown-up and you're so smart?

I get that you're smart,

but stop acting like you're the leader.

Stop showing off...

when you have no sense of teamwork.

Let's go.

Are you okay?

I said that out of concern.

I didn't realize how it'd sound.

I lived my life in vain.

Don't say that.

You've held back a lot too.

It's not easy.

(Sung Moon, Mal Soon, Ji Sook)

(Mal Soon versus Ji Sook)

(Where, hospital?)

A woman in her 60s.

Is she not her birth mother?

No.

Her husband died when Ji Sook was three years old.

But why aren't there any pictures before that?

There should be...

a picture of their wedding at least.

She got rid of all her husband's pictures...

just like pictures of me and Mom...

I wish Mr. Park was here to ask.

Daddy.

Dad.

Here.

It's been days.

My dad wouldn't leave home for this long...

because he can't trust me.

Daddy, you must come back home.

What if he's kidnapped?

You think your dad is that easy to deal with?

Your dad is doing just fine...

I think.

Don't worry.

This is perfect.

We met again.

Good to see you again.

"Again?"

Who's he?

What?

Well...

I ran into him by chance before.

I'm a new tenant here.

Nice to meet you.

I'm heading in first.

That young boy needs to learn his manners.

What's your plan?

I'll just...

do my best.

Excuse me.

Are you a celeb?

Or a model?

Not bad.

Of course.

I may not be as good as my dad...

Dad.

Dad.

Stop crying and be a man.

Show me an empty room.

This way. Follow me.

Wait.

Has anyone told you that you look like Jung Bo Seog?

You look just like him.

If I look like a celeb, do I get a discount?

Of course.

How many followers on your social media?

Ten percent off for over 10,000 followers. Fifty percent off for over 100,000.

Free if you have over 200,000.

Free, my butt.

Gosh.

- Where are you going? - Room Three.

How did he know Room Three was empty?

I'll skip the check-in.

Dad will be happy that it's full. Dad.

Dad.

So merciless.

You met him only once in the broadcasting station.

And you were already so close...

when you met him again by chance.

Are you expecting me to buy that?

Did you ever buy anything from me before?

Hey, brat.

You're not planning to get into a relationship, are you?

What?

I'll take that as a no.

Why bother asking me if you're not going to hear my answer?

I can tell from your face now.

Will you stay low until the debut?

Please?

Gosh.

I knew he was being too nice.

That little...

- Isn't it tiring? - Tell me about it.

I just can't...

What's wrong? What are you doing?

What are you looking at?

Stop showing off...

when you have no sense of teamwork.

Hey, glutton.

Follow me if you're curious.

This is from years of experience, so listen carefully.

I won't say this twice.

First of all, the men you must avoid.

A man who likes to hang out and has many friends.

He's an X.

- Why? - Why?

He'll drink six days a week,

so he has no time to see you or money.

I see.

What's she doing?

Next.

And a man who spends a lot on you.

He's also an X.

- What? - Isn't that a good thing?

He has a zero balance in his account.

A man like that will soon rip you off.

I guarantee you.

Also, avoid a kind and good-natured one.

- Why? - Why?

But why?

A man like that...

will buy insurance for all his friends, colleagues, relatives,

and everyone he knows with the money he makes.

I see.

A man who's friendly and constantly expressing love.

Another X.

- Why? - Isn't that nice?

They'll give you a hard time for the rest of your lives with a woman problem.

Seriously, that girl...

It's so hard.

But if we filter them for this and that reason,

who are we supposed to meet?

You're supposed to live alone.

Yes.

You must avoid a man who can't read the room.

Especially when he's full of himself.

How come your eyes are shining brighter than when you were practicing?

Practice with that enthusiasm.

Yes, producer.

Strange Sisters?

They're from my agency. Yes.

Yes. Let's do that.

I'll meet you soon.

Bye.

That's enough. Break off.

- Bye. - Bye.

Keep going.

That's all for the day. Until next time.

It might be awkward because it's a new singing style,

but you must practice. Okay?

- Yes. - Yes.

Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

You looked like Anni and Agnetha.

I've been listening to ABBA lately.

Anni's attractive low voice and hollow tone.

And Agnetha's high voice and powerful technique.

I thought we could apply that...

to our parts as if we were talking.

Not bad.

Don't bother.

I should.

I'm a free rider and a troublemaker.

This is the least I could do for my team.

Well done.

If you're done, let's talk.

Thanks to you, I'm busy now.

I'm already getting offers.

Daniel.

No, CEO Han is visiting the broadcasting station.

You're welcome.

By the way,

when are you going to return to the dorm?

I made sure it didn't affect the practice.

But I guess not?

No, you're doing great.

But I can't say it doesn't bother me.

You and CEO Han...

living in the same neighborhood.

You know it's a perfect bait for gossip.

My goodness.

Come on.

Even if he and I are the two last people on earth,

you don't need to worry.

I agree with you.

Daniel doesn't just date anyone.

Daniel...

is having a hard time covering you up.

You've crossed the line with Chairwoman Kim already.

It's going beyond his limit.

Calling me a daughter...

and pretending to be all cool.

What did she say behind my back?

Did she say she doesn't like me?

Emily.

I'll keep it simple.

Before I'm an employee here, I'm Daniel's friend,

and before I'm his friend, I work for this company.

Take this as my last warning and behave.

Return to the dorm as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for coming here when you're so busy.

I really appreciate it.

It was important. I should've come in person.

These days, YouTube is popular,

but once we broadcast it,

more people will be aware of them.

I'll look forward to good content.

I'll reach you as soon as I talk to my employees.

Yes. I'll see you again.

- Bye. - Bye.

I missed you so much,

Jun Hyuk.

Hello.

A gift for your girlfriend?

Yes, it's for my girlfriend.

Anything you're looking for?

Maybe something like that.

Is that for your granddaughter?

Granddaughter?

Yes. My granddaughter.

I'm looking for something for my granddaughter.

What's her size?

Take this as my last warning and behave.

Return to the dorm as soon as possible.

There isn't much time left.

My goodness.

Stop it. What if someone sees us?

I already told you many times!

It's not like we're an old man and a young lady anymore.

So what if someone sees us?

Don't try to ruin my future.

My agency told me to behave.

If I act rashly again, I might get fired.

Go now.

It's you again.

- What are you doing? - What?

No, I was just...

We were talking as you can see.

Talking?

Why did you lose so much weight?

Are you sure they're not exploiting you?

Go home.

- What? - Go.

That's up to her.

A trainee isn't your employee.

You've only met her once.
