HOMETOWN CHA-CHA-CHA
Hey, Ms. Dentist.
Ms. Dentist!
Good.
Okay.
Mi-seon.
Mi-seon!
-Did you sleep in again? -Yes.
-I'll get going first. -Wait for me.
-No way. I'll be late. -Give me three minutes.
Hey there.
You can actually form a bond with them.
And when you do,
they lay down their spines so you can pet them.
Ouch!
Damn prickly, aren't you?
You guys are similar.
The hedgehog is just like you.
You're both spiky.
No, we're not similar.
Mi-seon, three minutes are up. I'm leaving!
Let's go.
Did you replace your face or something?
EPISODE 4
Why isn't he around today?
What do you mean?
It's nothing.
What do you want for lunch?
How about jjajangmyeon?
Are you already thinking about lunch on the way to work?
That I approve of.
Jjajangmyeon?
GONGJIN KOREAN-CHINESE RESTAURANT
What's with the long face since before?
What do you mean?
You've been like that since our food got here.
This is what you wanted for lunch.
Did you get another craving?
I guess the warmer weather made me crave naengmyeon.
Then we'll have that for dinner.
Now, take these out.
Right.
Miss?
I think the heat got to you.
He's always around when you least expect it,
so where is he today?
Hye-jin, isn't this that guy?
Hey, it's Seong-hyeon.
RISING STAR TV PRODUCER JI SEONG-HYEON
No wonder.
You rarely watch TV, but you tuned in to his shows.
We went to school together, so I hoped he'd catch a big break.
As if. I'm no fool, you know.
You have a crush on this guy.
No, I don't!
A man and woman can be just friends.
You're so old-fashioned.
When it's not meant to be, it just isn't.
Why does he have to be Lee Gang-uk's friend of all people?
Why do you have on all that makeup?
Who are you waiting for?
Choi Eun-cheol?
He's not coming today.
-Welcome. -Hello.
Hello and welcome.
It's my first time here, so I didn't make an appointment. Is that all right?
-Sure. -Of course.
-Please fill in this form. -Right.
-I'll see you in the exam room. -Okay.
Judging by the level of your pain,
I'm guessing that your tooth decayed under the old crown.
It's tough to see with just an X-ray though,
so I'll have to lift it up to be sure.
Once I verify the decay,
we'll treat the nerve damage or decide on an implant.
However, there's a price gap between the two options--
That's no problem. I trust your judgment, doctor.
Thank you. I'll do my best then.
I hear a lot of patients throw a fit regarding the cost of dental procedures.
Many have been installing cameras inside the exam room.
The thing is
in order to install cameras, I need the patients' consent,
so I haven't gotten around to that yet.
I see.
Doctor, you're quite the beauty.
Thank you.
But I prefer to hear that I'm a good doctor.
I hope I didn't cross any lines just now.
No, it's fine.
-Let me take a look then. -Sure.
Did it hurt a lot?
Here is your card and receipt.
Thank you.
-I'll see you tomorrow. -Have a nice day.
TREATMENT ROOM
I love patients who are polite.
He'll trust my judgment regardless of the cost.
He must be loaded. Everything he wore was a designer label.
Really? Does being financially well-off give you that level of politeness?
Isn't that a little sad though?
It's all the more reason to earn lots of money.
All right.
You're buying apples? What's the occasion?
You only buy fruits that are in season.
It's my mom's death anniversary tomorrow.
I'm sorry I forgot.
How can you remember it when you're busy making a living?
-I'll take these. -Sure.
You're definitely showing now.
It's going to get heavier. It'll get harder and harder.
Not like it's my first time.
It's still just as hard.
I guess. Maybe it's because I'm aware of the pain,
but I already have dreams about it.
Is Geum-cheol upset that your second child is a daughter too?
Of course not. He's thrilled to finally raise a proper girl.
He's even been practicing braiding hair.
Come to think of it, Bo-ra never had long hair.
Exactly. She's not like your usual young girls.
When other girls sing "Let It Go" in Elsa dresses,
she dances like a boy in a taekwondo uniform.
Wait and see. Kids like that make it big.
I really hope so.
-Funny, isn't it? -It's embarrassing.
What? Get over here!
Bo-ra, I told you not to do that again!
Bo-ra will knock out all of I-jun's baby teeth for him.
-Stop it! -Hey!
I'm sorry.
-Would this be enough? -My gosh.
YOON DENTAL CLINIC CHUNG-HO SCUBA DIVING
Goodness, where are you two off to?
-Hello. -Hi.
We're on our way home.
I see. Then I guess I came right on time.
If you're free today, I was hoping to invite you somewhere.
Where?
the shopkeepers' meeting that is the heart of Gongjin's economy.
I see.
All the business owners here are members.
If you wish to run a business here, you should join…
Not that your practice is a store like ours.
Anyway, in order to raise profits, you should join as a member.
We'd love to be at the meeting today,
but I'm afraid we have other plans.
-Right. -I see. That's too bad then.
I'd love to change the date for you,
but our treasurer Chief Hong only has today to spare.
-The treasurer? -Yes, Chief Hong is the treasurer
and I'm the chairwoman.
-I'll be there. -Really?
Yes, I'll go to show my support as a fellow business owner
and to do what I can to help the community thrive.
I'm so glad you think that way! Let's get going then.
-Hold on. -Goodness.
I have somewhere else to be.
I guess we only need the owner to attend. The employee can go about her day.
Dr. Yoon, shall we? My gosh, Dr. Yoon!
-That hurts. -Did it? Well, I'll try to refrain myself.
Why don't I carry this for you?
What's with her?
For our shopkeepers' meeting!
-Cheers! -Cheers!
-Dr. Yoon, cheers. -Cheers!
This is nice.
This hit the spot.
As you know, we have too many officials here in Gongjin.
Village chief, zone chief, area chief.
However, I believe
that my role as the shopkeepers' meeting's chairwoman
is the most important.
Of course. You're the Minister of Economy in Gongjin.
The Minister of Strategy and Finance.
-Sorry? -What was that?
It's nothing.
-Right. -Anyway, Dr. Yoon,
since it's your first time here,
could you say a few words regarding this meeting?
-Me? -Yes.
-Like what? -Goodness. It's embarrassing to say this,
but the meeting has been in a rut lately.
Not many attend the meetings anymore.
So I was hoping to know
if you had any ideas on how to make it lively again since you're smart and all.
It's my first day,
so I don't know what to say--
Just say whatever comes to mind.
Yes, no pressure.
Then how about we make a member directory that include contact numbers?
You know, when someone who's attended it regularly stops coming,
if we have a contact list, we can have
better communication--
Here's our member directory. Unbelievable.
-Hey. -Did you really think we didn't have one?
Even grade school students would have better ideas.
That's because I was put on the spot.
Chief Hong, why are you so late?
It's my day off, you see.
Gosh.
I wasn't aware of the time.
Do you have days off?
Yes, whenever I feel like it.
-You sure have it easy. -Live like me if you're jealous.
Forget it.
Are you the treasurer of the shopkeepers' meeting?
-Yes. -How so? You don't even own a business.
I'm a freelancer hired by Ms. Cho.
I see.
Who knew this could be a freelancing job?
Hwa-jeong still puts down Yeong-guk's number as hers.
This isn't Hollywood, you know.
As if their divorce made things awkward enough.
One's a village chief while the other's a zone chief.
It's super awkward.
We were given garbage bags to hand out to the elderly.
I'll come by soon to collect them.
Sure.
We have the finalized list
of those who'll be cooking at the Lighthouse Song Festival.
I see. Bring it over when you come for the garbage bags.
That reminds me. Tomorrow…
I hear that the zone chief committee will be cleaning the streets tomorrow.
Just know that it gets especially dirty behind the marketplace.
The smell is unbearable.
I'll keep it in mind.
Have you had dinner?
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to understand them.
-What do you mean? -How should I put it?
You need to be really cold-hearted to get a divorce. Don't you agree?
-That's an old-fashioned view. -What?
There's nothing wrong with divorcing.
Just like marriage, it's one of the life choices we make.
Yes, Ms. Dentist is right.
Yes, of course.
You're right. I get that too,
but there didn't seem to be any reason for it.
They were fine together then got a divorce all of a sudden. You all know that.
-Right. -I doubt anyone was in the wrong.
-You can't be so sure about that. -Really?
But if something big had happened, one would've moved away.
-Of course. -Right?
Can we join you?
-You're here. -Hey!
Please have a seat. Chief Chang is here too.
We both haven't had dinner yet, so…
-Good evening. -Dr. Yoon, you're here too.
-You won't even offer me a seat? -Come sit. That's your seat.
The talk must've been so fun. I could hear your voice from outside.
No, it wasn't that fun.
Since you're here, you should order something.
Chun-jae, can we get the menu?
The menu, please!
Over here.
Couldn't you come and fetch it yourself?
Right here. Leave it there.
Hey, guys. Order whatever you want.
What's with your voice?
I have laryngitis.
-What? -Laryngitis.
All the singing--
In that case, it's better not to talk.
Then I should shut up.
She's right. You're a singer, so you should be careful.
Fine. Place your orders then. Just yell it out.
-Got it. -Don't talk too much.
Why would his throat give in when his songs don't have any high notes?
-Right? -Come on!
-Exactly. -That's hilarious!
-You're wrong. -If you think about it,
-that's how it is. -No way.
I'm curious though.
Why do you two hang out together so often?
-Don't. -Must you put it like that?
I smacked him for you.
-I'm just curious, that's all. -Unbelievable.
Damn. Why did I agree to come here? What was I thinking?
They talk too much.
Hi.
Kids these days are terrifying.
What has the world come to?
They're so gorgeous.
You must be a Hacker.
Isn't Hacker the name of DOS' fandom?
You're a Hacker?
No, not exactly.
But JUNE, one of the members…
Don't touch it.
I treated him two years ago.
Stop lying.
Why would I lie about something like that? I really did.
Look here, old lady. Many people lie about knowing the members of DOS.
-Unbelievable. -But it's true.
Why would I lie about something like that?
Do you have proof?
-Do you? -Proof?
Look at you all flustered. I knew it was a lie.
I don't remember it clearly,
but I took a photo with him.
People always say they don't remember when put on the spot. Right, JUNE?
She drives me nuts.
What? Where'd he run off to now?
-The popcorn tastes the best. -Give me some.
-Better than all these. -Where are the freebies?
-Yes, where's the free food? -You're right.
Get out--
He's faking the pain again.
I told you I'd take care of it.
-Give us freebies! -You're so slow.
Let's gather at my place next time.
-Give us tangsuyuk then. -Yes, tangsuyuk.
-Tangsuyuk and-- -And free grilled dumplings.
-But don't grill them too much. -I want to go home.
But they're grilled dumplings. It's not like I can steam them.
-Do you have boiled dumplings? -Don't be unreasonable.
Unbelievable.
They seem to have such a good relationship.
-Dr. Yoon must be drunk. -What?
You're right.
But she didn't drink a lot.
Shouldn't she go home?
Like always, my killer move works. "Pretending to be drunk."
-Guys. -What is it?
Hold on. Is Chief Hong singing today?
He must be filling in for Chun-jae.
Chief Hong will sing?
Without anyone knowing
I hung around and cried
Past moments sank deep into my heart
Under the empty sky
As the lights switch on
I carefully call out my old lover's name
Cold wind blows
And I adjust my collar
In regret and anger Tears drop from my eyes
I once believed
No one could hurt me
But was my past self all a lie?
What I long for
I will keep as is inside my heart
My wife keeps calling me, so I should go now.
-Sure. -Right.
I'm too tired
-to stay any longer. -Sure thing.
Why won't they wake me and tell me to go home?
-Let's go. -Bye!
What about Dr. Yoon?
I'll manage her, so go home.
-Will you? -Go ahead.
-Shall we? -Let's go.
-Go on. -Thanks for this.
Bye.
-We're going. -Bye.
-Chun-jae, we're leaving. -Bye!
What do I do? Should I just get up?
One, two, three.
What do I do?
One, two, three.
What is he doing?
Darn it.
Chun-jae, I'm off!
Wait. My shoe!
Hey, my shoe!
Don't leave it behind. Unbelievable!
Drop the act and hop off.
I know you're not asleep.
Unbelievable.
My body aches all over.
Thanks to your lie, I carried something as heavy as a sack of rice.
How heavy is a sack of rice?
Forget it if you don't know.
Why did you even pretend to sleep?
Because I wanted to hurry home.
We live in a society.
You can't hate being around people.
I bet you have no friends.
-You're wrong. I have tons. -Name three in five seconds then.
-Five, four, three, two, -Pyo Mi-seon, Mi-seon.
-one. -and Pyo Mi-seon.
So one Mi-seon and two Pyo Mi-seons.
-Are they different people? -What's it to you
if I have friends or not?
What a jerk.
She really likes those shoes.
ONE SACK OF RICE WEIGHT
Eighty kilograms? That jerk.
Unbelievable.
That's odd. Did someone move in?
What a jerk.
Why are you following me?
What are you talking about? I'm only on my way home.
Then take another route.
Why should I take the long way home?
Move out, why don't you?
Moving is so much work. You want me to do it again?
Taking your things after the divorce doesn't qualify as moving.
Yes, it does. A change of residence is called moving.
Whatever. Forget it. Just take this.
What is it?
Can't you tell? It's the kimchi container.
I enjoyed it.
Did you scrub it clean?
It's hard to remove the smell.
Gosh.
Let me see.
It should be here.
Found it. Just wait to see this, brat.
Where's the kid?
The one who talks back to adults.
Ju-ri? She's at school, of course.
Right. I should come back later then.
What about coffee?
I do need some caffeine.
But I'm a little busy, so could it be delivered?
Of course.
Then one Americano and one latte, please. With lots of ice and syrup.
It'll cost 2,000 won more.
You cheapskate.
How can you charge me when you're right by?
I get paid whenever I move.
-Manual labor-- -Whatever.
-Cancel my order. -Jeez.
You did great today.
I bet it hurt.
How could it not when my gums were slit?
It doesn't stop me from living my life though.
We'll check it again in two weeks.
Sure. You're my dentist, so I do as you say.
-Hello. -Hi.
-Get home safely then. -Have a good day.
-So how was your temporary crown? -It wasn't bad.
-Let me take you inside then. -Sure.
Hold on a second. Where have I seen him before?
The needle stung, didn't it?
My gums are a bit stiff.
Scaling will be done while your gums go numb, and the treatment will follow.
-Ms. Pyo? -Sure.
Hey. Here's the coffee you ordered.
But I canceled my order. Are you forcing this coffee on me?
It wouldn't be right to ignore the order that came in.
What are you waiting for? Pay up.
"How to sterilize."
I guess that's important these days.
-Here you go. -Okay.
With the loyal customer discount,
the Americano is 3,000 won and the latte is 3,500 won. So 3,000 won
and…
here's 500 won.
That's a lot of change. I thought there was a delivery fee.
It's fine. I stopped by since no one was at the cafe. I'll get going then.
What? That's not like him at all.
Lucky us.
Eodongyukseo.
Fish sits in the east and meat sits in the west.
Hongdongbaekseo.
Red fruit sits in the east and white fruit sits in the west.
Mom.
How can you serve that at a memorial service?
My mom loved roll cakes, you see.
I know you're a stickler for the rules,
but can I serve what she loved since the service is for her?
Let's bow.
Uncle Du-sik, can you make me a cup of vanilla latte?
-No. -I'll pay.
Don't be cheeky. I don't sell coffee to kids.
We all drink coffee these days.
-Not you though. -Why not?
The recommended amount of caffeine
is 2.5mg per 1kg of body weight for minors.
By the looks of it,
-you weigh around 45kg. -What?
Your caffeine intake should only be 112.5mg,
but you had chocolate that contained caffeine earlier.
You had two pieces, so 30mg.
Vanilla latte has around 100mg,
so drinking that means you'll have more caffeine than recommended.
That's so unfair.
-Take this. -No, you can have it.
What if I have three?
That's 15 plus 15 plus 15mg.
Ms. Dentist, I'd rather not see you three times a day.
Likewise, so don't talk to me.
I'm here to see someone else.
I brought you proof.
Proof?
My gosh. No way!
Did you really meet him? I thought you were lying!
Look how handsome he is.
-Wait-- -No way!
-I want to be a dentist too! -What's that?
-What is it? God, you're so loud. -He's super handsome!
-Look at it over there then. -He's so handsome!
-Fine, I get it. -So handsome!
I'm speechless by his beauty.
What does he look like in person? Is he handsome? Of course he is.
What was he like?
He's handsome, much more so in person.
I'm so jealous.
Did JUNE handle the pain well?
According to his vlog, dental procedures scare him. Poor JUNE.
I'm afraid I can't disclose a patient's personal information.
Is that so? Then what should I ask?
Did he bring his doll with him?
There's one he carries everywhere.
What did he wear? His shoes? Can we be friends?
Be informal with me too. Sit back, get comfy.
-Have some chocolate. -Thanks.
Leave your bag to the side.
-Ask me one at a time. -All right, then…
What's this? I didn't order anything.
A teenager should eat. Eat with her if you want.
God, I'm so grateful that I might cry.
Don't you cry. So is he that Jin guy or whatever?
-It's JUNE. -Uncle Du-sik,
can you not mistake the sacred name bestowed upon my JUNE?
Now I'm upset. I see laser beams coming from your eyes.
If you ask me, he's not handsome at all.
-He's better looking than you! -He's better looking than you!
-Unbelievable. Just go. -Yes, leave us.
-Gosh. -You two are so alike.
Have fun then.
-You're so alike. -We got rid of him.
-We did. You know, this is… -I can hear you, Ju-ri.
It was my first time seeing a celebrity and he was glowing.
-I bet his face was tiny. -It was.
-How does a person glow? -No way!
That I can never understand.
-What's up with him? -What's with him?
-I hate him. -So do I.
You two are so alike.
-Unbelievable. -Unbelievable.
-Gosh. -Goodness, Chief Hong!
Why won't you answer your phone?
Du-sik, this is me in line. I got here before Nam-suk did.
No. I can't. No way.
Don't be like that. Help me out.
Delivery orders are piling up.
I can't deliver mushy jjajangmyeon, you know.
Jjajangmyeon is good either way.
Du-sik, the air conditioner at my store broke down.
If it's not fixed, I'll be steamed alive today.
-Let go of me. Is Nam-gyu still asleep? -Yes.
Then smack his back and wake him up.
He's your brother, but he's also your employee.
Why go easy on him? You shouldn't have hired him.
He doesn't listen to a word I say.
Why are you weeping?
-And you. -Yes?
It's about time you fixed things yourself.
For God's sake, you run a hardware store.
How dare you? That's my biggest weakness.
Are you both in tears? Damn it.
Just know that I won't be working at all today.
I have a right to have the day off. Bye.
-Asking you is our right. Please. -I'll have to close up if you don't help!
Mi-seon, how does fried chicken and beer sound tonight?
Maybe some other time. I'd rather rest at home today.
What's gotten into you? You never say no to fried chicken.
Hey, you don't look so well.
-What? -Are you sick?
No, I'm just a little tired.
Gosh, I guess I should get you some herbal tonic.
-Hello. -Yes, welcome.
-You can follow me right away. -Sure.
Thankfully, the nerve damage was well-treated.
We'll check for any pain, then get you a crown.
Ms. Pyo, can you make a mold?
Sure.
What should we have today?
A street food diner opened across the street.
Street food? What are we, kids?
But we get to order various dishes.
Yu Cho-hui?
Yeong-guk?
You guys should go ahead without me.
-I'll be right there. -Sure.
-You go ahead too. -I'm fine, though.
Go order our food.
Right. What should I order though?
Tteokbokki with flour-based rice cakes and a boiled egg.
As for sundae, I only want the middle part. No liver, only lungs, and gimmari.
-Get going already. -Sure.
-Wait. Don't pour the sauce. -Sorry?
Don't pour the sauce on the fritters.
Has it been 15 years?
Yes, but you haven't changed at all.
You're the one who hasn't changed one bit.
Gosh.
What brings you here?
I've been assigned to work at Cheongjin Elementary School.
I came to introduce myself today, and I start next week.
Are you staying in Gongjin for good then?
Yes, I already moved here.
I see.
Goodness, look who it is.
What do you mean? It's Mr. Chang.
No, the woman next to him.
Isn't it Yu Cho-hui?
Who's that?
Yeong-guk's first love.
Really?
Yes. Hey, I got to go.
Where are you off to?
Where is she going?
-Have you had lunch? -I was actually on my way to have it.
Hwa-jeong?
Ms. Yeo went home for a bit.
Really? Why now of all moments? Okay, see you.
Bye.
Mom.
Why are you making so much food?
What?
No reason.
It's nice to have a lot of food in the house, isn't it?
You're all done, sir.
You can gargle.
I can still feel residue in my mouth.
There's a mirror next to you, so please check yourself.
I'd rather have you take a look.
All right.
That's it.
Get your hand off her!
You damn bastard.
What?
Let go of me for a second.
-Hold on-- -You crazy bastard. How dare you.
What did I do wrong?
Don't think about lying. I saw it with my own eyes!
What did you see? That I grabbed her for a second?
Get away!
Hold on.
I just leaned on her a little since I felt uncomfortable.
There's nothing wrong about it.
Don't you know the difference between leaning and groping?
A sexual predator like you should be behind bars.
-Mi-seon, call the police. -What?
Is this the police?
Yes, this is Yoon Dental Clinic in Gongjin.
I'm being accused of sexual harassment right now.
No, I'm the victim here.
Is that so?
Got it. We'll be right there.
-Are we being dispatched? -It's Yoon Dental Clinic.
-They need us there. -Yoon Dental Clinic?
Some guy called and said he was being framed for sexual harassment.
What?
I should head over there to get the full story.
-I'll go with you. -Stay alert!
-See you later. -See you.
I've never been so aware of the word "shameless" before.
How brazen of you to call the police yourself.
I did nothing wrong, so let the law decide.
-You did nothing wrong? -No.
What a lunatic.
Look here, Ms. Yoon Hye-jin.
You may not know this since you're a newcomer here,
but everyone in Gongjin knows me.
My father owns a concrete business here,
and my uncle is a city councilman.
So what? What about it?
You just opened this clinic.
If people find out you're accusing an innocent person,
you'll have to close up shop.
Just let him go.
-Are you nuts? -I'm fine, so don't
make a big deal out of it.
Are you kidding me? After what he did to you?
I'm fine. It's not like this is my first time.
Which is why I can't let this go. I'll have him punished, no matter what.
-Right. -Crazy bastard.
I see she's the smarter one here.
I mean, she's well aware that she doesn't have the upper hand.
Just think about it.
Why would I even bother with a girl like her? She's not on my level.
You bastard!
-Hye-jin-- -You little… Hey!
Are you all right?
You crazy bitch.
-Are you okay? -Chief Hong?
So you're okay. That's a relief.
I'm glad you're okay.
Oh my.
Did someone call the police?
Du-sik, are you all right?
-Are you all right? -Water…
Who made the call?
-Water. -Hye-jin?
Damn it.
This is so annoying.
Something must be broken.
According to the doctor, you have minor contusions.
As if one can tell so easily.
Let's see what the CT tells us.
Anyway, I don't intend to settle
and will sue them both for assault.
The police are investigating.
Protocol says you should be investigated for sexual harassment too.
You were brought here only because you were in pain, so shut it.
You sure love sexual harassment charges. There is no evidence.
The victim's testimony can be evidence in this case.
The law in Korea is a load of crap.
Because you listen to gold-diggers, innocent people like me are victimized.
I told you to shut it.
I should call my lawyer.
Where's my phone?
NORTHERN CHUNG-HO POLICE STATION
How is this fair?
That sick pervert should be arrested,
not us.
Also, you should have separate holding cells for men and women.
Excuse me. Can't you hear me?
Excuse me!
Damn it.
One might think this is your bedroom.
Where I sleep is my home.
You should lie down too.
Are you nuts? What if someone gets the wrong idea?
Don't just lie there, and do something.
Leave me be. I'm in the middle of recharging.
But it was your day off today.
How did you know what was happening at the clinic?
-Lieutenant Kim. -Chief Hong, do you need anything?
This wetsuit is so tight. Can I change into something else?
It must be suffocating.
Tell me about it.
Would my clothes be all right?
I'd be grateful.
-Then come out here. -Sure.
What the hell? You pretended not to hear me just now.
Excuse me.
You completely ignored me.
Where are you going?
I'll be right back. Keep the cell warm for me.
-You changed the lock. -Yes, we did.
-Don't forget the key. -Right.
Why are you wearing this anyway?
-Where are you going? -Isn't the weather hot?
-Did you catch sharks? -What the hell?
Gosh. Lieutenant Kim, your taste in clothes
is quite exotic.
It puts me in a good mood when I change after shifts.
I love how smooth the fabric is.
-Chief Hong. -I'm thirsty. Got anything to drink?
How about a cup of coffee?
Sounds good. That was adorable. Don't you have ice in the freezer?
-Of course. -Chief Hong!
Okay, I hear you. She wants one too, so make it two.
-Two. Got it. -Thanks.
-I'm back. -Hey, you're here.
-Du-sik. -How's he? I bet he's faking it.
The CT scan shows no damage.
Lieutenant, can't we now release them both…
-I guess it's just the doctor. -Sure.
Ms. Dentist, get out here and enjoy some iced coffee.
Why haven't you arrested the pervert?
He's currently in the hospital and needs two weeks to recover--
-I'm staying. -What do you mean?
I'm objecting to injustice.
I won't leave until that prick is arrested too.
Why make life harder for yourself?
Hye-jin!
Hye-jin.
-Mi-seon. -Hey.
Why on earth are you in here?
Are you all right? Are you hurt?
I'm fine. What about you?
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong.
I tried to put up with it--
Nonsense! You should've told me sooner.
If I had known, I wouldn't have kept leaving you with that pervert.
I know you went through a lot to open the clinic.
You're in the red,
but you still gave me my paycheck and a bonus.
Your clinic was finally running smoothly.
I was afraid it might be all ruined if I told you.
None of that is important!
You should've told me. I'm your friend.
You must've been so scared, Mi-seon.
I'm so sorry.
No, I should be the one apologizing.
No, I'm the one who let you down.
I'll make sure that the bastard is behind bars, Mi-seon.
That freaking bastard!
Guys, the door is open, you know.
You can come out.
-Hey. -Ms. Gam-ri, what brings you by?
Well, I came to report lost property.
You see, I found this on the floor of the dental clinic.
Doesn't it belong to that guy?
Here.
Wait. He did say he lost his phone.
I see you're reading a comic book.
What? What are you doing here?
I'm here to see how you're doing.
Don't you remember? We went to middle school together.
The deep blue energy of the East Sea
Flows within us
The assailant shouldn't visit the victim.
You must've hurt your brain when I beat you up.
You're the assailant here. A sick sexual predator.
Assault and falsely accusing someone without any proof?
Proof? I have it somewhere.
Wait. Where did I put it?
Where did I put it?
You sure are a crazy bastard.
Here it is.
Where did you get that?
A fairy godmother gave it to me.
Bullshit. Give it back.
Why? Does it make you anxious that I have it?
-What's in it? -Give it back!
Give it back.
What--
Wait, that hurts. Let go!
-Should I let go? -Yes!
-Would you if you were me? -Let go of me!
Let's wait here a bit
-until your warrant is served. -What?
You took so many photos that your phone memory's full.
You dirty little Peeping Tom.
Wait! Okay, fine. Let go of me so we can talk. It hurts.
-Does it hurt? A lot? -It does. Yes!
If that hurts, can you imagine how hurt your victims are?
Just you wait. I'll make sure you pay for what you did.
What's it to you? Why are you so hellbent on this?
Do you have something going on with one of those women?
That's right. There's something huge going on between us.
Really? Wait, that hurts!
You chose the wrong people to mess with.
Fine. Just let me go first. Hold on!
-Cut your hair. -Fine, I will.
You never shut up.
I'll cut my hair. I will as soon as you let go.
Okay, hold still.
I tapped out. Let me go.
-You tapped out? -Let go.
I hear Chief Hong caught a Peeping Tom yesterday.
So I heard.
No wonder he's the hero of Gongjin.
He's like Superman and Iron Man wrapped into one.
-Mr. Ban, what about me then? -Sorry?
If Chief Hong is everyone's fixer, what am I in this town?
Mr. Chang…
Where do you think you're going?
-Cho-hui? -Hi, I'm here to register my move.
I see. I'm glad you're here.
That way. Come with me.
-Come on. -Okay.
Hwa-jeong, why aren't you picking up your phone?
What? What's this about?
I saw someone yesterday, you see.
Who?
RESIDENT REGISTRATION
RESIDENT: 1 PERSON
Wait.
Are you still single? Didn't you get married?
I never got around to doing it.
I see.
So you're single. You aren't…
I heard you got married though.
Me? Well…
I did but I'm single now.
I'm completely on my own now.
You and Hwa-jeong got divorced?
My goodness.
So this must be the front row seat.
Your wife is here. Hello.
Hey, jerk!
I told you not to call her that anymore.
I guess I'll always be your wife to him.
-Hwa-jeong. -Goodness, it's been so long.
Did you move here?
Yes.
Have you been well?
Yes. Although not all the time.
You haven't changed a bit. You're still so pretty.
-Mr. Ban. -Yes?
Ms. Yeo is here to get the garbage bags.
Please take her to them.
Got it. Ms. Yeo, this way.
-I'm coming. -Good.
Let's take it outside.
Hold on. Why are they leaving?
Please sign here.
Here you go.
Have a good day.
Hey, Hwa-jeong.
They went out together.
Gosh, they don't fit.
We're set for a month.
Let me see.
Hwa-jeong, my gosh.
I'm going out to pick up a sandwich for lunch. What would you like?
I'll go with you.
No, it's fine. Do what you were doing. It's only around the corner.
Are you sure? Then I'll have the same one.
Wheat bread, roast chicken,
mozzarella cheese, minus pickles, but with lots of sliced olives. Right?
A good best friend is worth ten boyfriends. I'll be right back.
Mi-seon.
Yes?
From now on, whatever happens, don't hide it from me.
Friends are supposed to have each other's backs.
Pyo Mi-seon.
You're the only friend I have, you know.
I know that.
Get going then.
Get me the same!
Ms. Pyo!
"Serving the people are the warm, trustworthy police."
That's our catchphrase.
Calling 112 will surely be faster,
but have this with you, just in case.
CHOI EUN-CHEOL
And if anything like that happens again,
don't try to endure it on your own.
Have a good day.
DOCTOR YOON HYE-JIN
He admitted to his crimes
and will be investigated soon by the Women Sex Crime Unit.
I thought you should know.
Come to think of it, I never thanked him properly.
I guess I could just leave it here.
This wine wasn't easy to get.
I guess the fruit will do.
No.
I should repay him properly.
This is killing me.
I bet it's really good.
It's so hard to let go.
I hear it's spicy, fragrant,
-and sweet. -What's up?
My gosh!
I enjoyed the monologue.
I felt so many emotions in such a short time.
It was so hard to get the wine. That's why.
You must've wanted it so bad that you agreed to drink it together right away.
Your place is really nice.
I thought it'd be a stinky bachelor pad.
Don't judge a book by its cover. That's being prejudiced.
Why do you have so many books and records?
I collected them hoping they'd be worth a lot someday.
I see. It may seem fancy, but it's actually a junk collection.
Junk? Unbelievable.
What?
I saw this photo at the photo studio.
Is this you?
Yes.
I see.
Is the old man your grandfather?
Yes. He passed away when I was in middle school.
What about the rest of your family?
I have no one.
No one?
My parents died when I was six,
so I live here alone.
Sorry.
You don't have to be. Can you fetch the glasses?
Sure.
You made all this just now?
It's not much.
It seems like it'll pair well with the wine.
This particular wine
is from the Rhône region in Southern France.
Since it's a vintage wine, it should be decanted…
Let me explain what decanting is.
You pour wine into another vessel without disturbing the sediment--
Old wine like this may lose the scent if you decant it.
I uncorked it as soon as we got in.
-Are you well-versed in wine? -No.
It's just something I picked up.
I see. Hand it over then. Let me pour you a glass.
Hear that?
Gosh.
Just a second.
When drinking wine,
you should first enjoy it by breathing in its scent.
Like this. Then, sip the wine while letting in air as well.
Here.
Seriously?
That's gross. What are you doing?
You should lower your head to close your airway and then breathe in the air.
It was a mistake. Gosh, that stings.
Stop that and just drink it.
You might sneeze the expensive wine out of your nose.
Can you stop that already?
Gosh.
That's how you do it.
Give it a go.
Hello. Come on in.
Yes, hello.
Please sit anywhere you want.
Okay. JUNE, where do you want to sit?
-By the window. -Sure thing.
You were quite the singer.
I only sang because Chun-jae asked.
So…
will you sing for me if I ask?
-Go home already. -We didn't finish the wine.
You seemed close with the police officers.
You were practically at home at the station.
Have you been there often?
I guess you can say that.
-So you were a troublemaker. -Not like that.
I've won the Brave Citizen Award twice.
-Really? -Yes.
I once caught a purse snatcher on the street.
Stop!
And this other time, I saved a drunk old man sleeping on the train tracks.
Sir!
That's courageous of you.
How did you manage to jump on the tracks?
I didn't think. My body just reacted.
Does anyone appreciate it though? I bet there wasn't any reward.
I got a million won.
I bought a new fridge for the senior center.
You should be generous only when you're financially stable.
You barely make a living.
Don't worry about me, and drink your wine. Here.
I guess how you live your life is none of my business.
We're out of wine.
That I can't offer you, but I do have some whiskey.
Ju-ri, can you get this to those customers?
-I'm good, Dad. -Well, I'm not.
I have something else on the stove. Now, hurry.
-Be careful. -Come on.
Help your dad out.
He can't do anything properly, seriously.
Here. Your food's here.
Thank you.
Enjoy.
Thank you.
God, he must've put so much effort to look like JUNE.
Ju-ri, you almost fell for a copycat.
Jeez, he gives me the creeps.
Let's eat. Dig in.
Check this out.
It must be because we're by the sea. Look at the size of the seafood.
This shrimp is huge.
You're right.
Dig in.
JUNE, I guess you should work even harder.
People don't even recognize you,
so will this show survive?
I think it'll tank.
We'll still get paid though. Can I order a pajeon too?
Go ahead.
-Sir. -Yes?
Are you already drunk? I thought you could hold your liquor.
I'm not drunk.
It just feels like I'm on clouds.
You'll soon fly in the sky then.
I never get drunk if I can help it.
Why not?
Because I hate it.
Being out of it,
being vulnerable,
and being more honest.
When I feel close to being drunk,
I clench my fists tight like so.
You live an exhausting life, with such small fists.
-I have a big fist. -Here.
Don't you get lonely living here alone?
That has never occurred to me since the people here are like family.
How long have you been living in Gongjin?
Since birth.
Have you ever left this place?
I have.
When?
You told me not to cross the line,
but you ask so many questions.
Right.
What's with me today?
I'm usually not like this.
You don't seem to know yourself that well.
Maybe I'm fascinated by you.
We're from two different worlds.
If a penguin from Antarctica met a polar bear from the North,
would it feel this way?
They're both from freezing climates though.
Right, of course.
Well, I guess opposites attract.
Okay. You can ask me just one question.
I'll answer it this one time.
I don't have any questions.
I've got one.
Why did you come to Gongjin?
And don't say you came here to open a dental clinic to make money.
If that was the case, it didn't have to be Gongjin.
My face is red, isn't it?
It's so hot in here. Maybe I'm drunk.
Don't answer if you don't want to.
That day.
The day I came to Gongjin…
was my mom's birthday.
It's sad
how your birthday gets erased after you die and only the day you died remains.
It feels like the fact that my mom even existed has been slowly fading away.
If she had been alive, she would've turned 60 that day.
I would've gone on many trips with her
and bought her expensive purses.
Actually, no.
Just a meal together would've been nice enough.
Before she died,
we went on a family trip
to Gongjin.
What am I doing?
I must be drunk.
My face is burning up.
I think I have a mild fever.
Is my face red?
It's so hot.
Hey, Ms. Gam-ri.
Chief Hong, where are you now?
Why? What's wrong?
There's a commotion at the dentist's.
Chief Hong wouldn't budge no matter how much I begged.
-Tell me about it. He didn't even listen. -I know.
What did I tell you? Chief Hong has one rule in life.
He works when he wants and has fun when he feels like it.
The man may bend backwards for everyone,
but he never works on his day off.
He runs that hard on his day off?
I take it back.
HOMETOWN CHA-CHA-CHA
There are three mysteries in Gongjin.
Just eat as casually as possible.
-The two slept together? -Gosh.
How can you pair Du-sik with the dentist?
I'm a doctor. I graduated dentistry school.
Chief Hong is from Seoul National University.
Why does my ear itch so much?
Stop!
-Actually, I'm… -You must be a mukbang Youtuber.
-What? -I think I blacked out yesterday.
But when you blacked out,
-did it become rated R? -Hey!
So anyway, did anything happen yesterday?
Well…
A lot happened.
