HOMETOWN CHA-CHA-CHA
Hey, Dr. Yoon…
What?
Oh, my goodness.
Guess what? I just saw Dr. Yoon walking out of Chief Hong's house.
Early in the morning, like a sneaky little cat.
Here I thought Du-sik was a tame one.
There's no more innocence left in the world.
Nam-suk, stop badmouthing people.
Ladies, look at this.
-What? -What is it?
You slept with Chief Hong?
Hye-jin and Du-sik sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Oh, dear.
What's wrong?
So it's true?
Do we have any hangover tea?
Let me look.
God, my head.
EPISODE 5
She must've left in a hurry.
FOR BROTH, BEAN SPROUTS
All right.
Tofu is a must for kimchi soup with bean sprouts.
Okay.
This headache is killing me.
How much did I drink that I blacked out there?
God, my head.
Du-sik.
I even learned pole dancing.
-Don't I look like Yuna Kim? -What the…
Oh, my.
Look at this.
HWAJEONG RAW FISH RESTAURANT
Look here. One, two, three.
This is nuts.
The combination to my door lock
is eight, seven, zero, seven, two, four.
Chief Hong!
Aren't I so good?
Aren't I strong?
Aren't I really good?
One, two!
Two! Aren't I so good?
One million and twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four.
Chief Hong!
I should quit drinking.
Hold on.
That's odd.
I was out all night,
so how did I end up back at his house again?
Du-sik.
Chief Hong!
What? Why can't I remember what happened next?
-Let's go. -Mi-seon.
-Why don't we take the day off? -Sure.
-Seriously? -Yes.
Your credit card bill is on the table.
-This month-- -Don't tell me.
Let's just go to work.
Let's go.
What's wrong?
-This is bad. You should go first. -What do you mean?
This is going to be a long battle. Go first.
Darn it.
MARK AND CHECK COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
-Hey! -Hey!
Hey! They slept together?
Did they?
The two slept together?
Be quiet.
She yawned and took the sleep out of her eye.
-She looked content. -It's true.
-Content? -She did?
-Hello. -Gosh.
-Hello. -Hello.
-Ms. Dentist!
-It's Du-sik. -Hey.
Gosh.
You left early without doing the dishes.
My gosh.
Well… Don't you think it's rude to make your guest wash the dishes?
-I even brought expensive wine. -My phone…
-Did you forget the ginseng wine you had? -The wi-fi…
We had ginseng wine?
Forget it. Did you eat?
Let's take a photo.
I was going to work.
But how about breakfast?
-What are we having? -Let's go old-school.
-Okay. -Look at them together.
What are you doing?
Just taking a photo.
-Du-sik. -A photo?
You look tired. How wonderful.
Why are you taking photos and calling out here?
-The connection is best here. -You look good.
What are you saying? That's absurd.
-Bye, then. -Gosh.
-Okay. Bye. -Bye.
They're having hangover soup.
Do you see them?
What are you doing there?
Hey, come take a look.
Hurry.
Come on. This is huge.
-I can't see. -Let's open it a crack.
Be quiet!
Do you see them?
-Yes. -What's going on?
-Can you see? -How pretty.
By old-school, I meant meat on the bone, not ox blood.
Ox blood is the best.
It's chewy and savory.
It's rich in vitamin A and iron.
-That's not important right now. -Then what is?
Just eat as casually as possible.
Pick up your spoon and don't look to your left.
No. I told you not to look.
Gosh. Come on.
I can feel that many people
are watching us. What's going on?
People got wind
of us…
sleeping together last night.
I… I can't see clearly.
So anyway,
did anything happen yesterday?
Something did.
What?
Well…
A lot happened.
You don't get drunk easily?
I thought I was watching a TV show.
You suddenly ran out, sang, and danced.
Hanging from a pole, "Don't I look like Yuna Kim?"
Then you started running again
and screamed my name.
It was one hell of a spectacle.
That's odd. I don't have any drinking habits.
Maybe I wasn't feeling well.
So that's normal for you?
Then you threw a tantrum and insisted we should drink more.
So we came back to my place, and you drank my homemade wine.
You better pay for the ginseng wine.
I didn't know ox blood was rich in iron.
What?
-It's good. -Gosh.
Here.
-Goodness. -Gosh.
Did he just touch her?
What are they doing?
Are you a kid? Wipe your mouth.
They'll get the wrong idea!
You scared me. You looked like Joker with blood on your lips.
You ruined it all.
What did I do?
I was going to kill that rumor by eating nonchalantly with you,
so why did you have to wipe my mouth?
Now they're going to ramble on about how great we look together.
Do you sense any chemistry between them?
If I were to compare it to music, there's no hook.
-It's so bland. -I agree.
He wiped her mouth like Geum-cheol would Bo-ra's.
I sensed fatherly love.
-Right? -Yes. Something like this.
Yes, exactly.
Maybe nothing happened last night.
Come on! They're adults. I'm sure something happened.
Seriously.
-Gosh. -That's enough!
So this was what you were doing. What a waste of energy.
-Don't you know about privacy? -Not the spelling.
Why would you gossip?
I just stated what I saw.
-She was wrong, right? -Gosh.
That's just foolish bravery.
Ruining one's reputation with facts is also defamation, got it?
-Got it? -Okay, smarty-pants.
Just leave.
Go on, now.
Fine. Let's go.
I should go prepare some noodles. Let's go.
I have to go receive coffee beans anyway.
I should go back to my store.
Why is he still there?
Come on!
Wait! My legs cramped up!
I made a new chatroom without Hwa-jeong.
Let's talk more at Bora Supermarket.
Chief Hong could do better than Dr. Yoon.
Of course, he could.
You can say that again.
Compared to Chief Hong, Dr. Yoon is nothing.
People are lined up for Du-sik.
There's nothing Du-sik lacks.
Every single girl in Gongjin had a crush on him at least once.
Right.
He's also my first love.
-What? -Did you think it was you?
Gosh, you're all so brazen, aren't you?
How could you think Du-sik is better than the dentist?
-What? -What? Are you siding with her?
-So? -So? What?
So tell me, Chun-jae. What's your take on this?
Gam-ri. I told you to call me Oh Yoon, not Chun-jae.
-Gosh. -Oh Yoon.
-Right.
Du-sik? He's a wonderful guy.
Right.
But she's not bad either.
You only get one vote.
-Goodness. -Hello.
So? Is it Hye-jin or Chief Hong?
You see, Chief Hong is good at everything.
-Right. He is. -There's nothing he can't do.
-Right? But Dr. Yoon is a dentist, -Right.
so she must make lots of money.
That tips the scale for her side.
While Dr. Yoon can only fix teeth, Du-sik can fix anything.
You're right.
But he can't fix teeth.
You're spitting everywhere!
Here's my card.
No, it's on me.
No, thanks. I don't let just any guy pay for my meal.
Good for me, then. Thanks for the meal.
We'd like to pay separately.
That'll be 8,000 won.
Thank you.
Let's stop by Chun-jae's cafe.
I make a mean hangover coffee.
Chief Hong.
Do you like me?
Don't be absurd.
How deluded must you be to misinterpret
an invitation to a cup of coffee as an "I like you"?
-Do you have Princess Syndrome? -I just thought…
It wasn't groundless suspicion.
What?
Think about it. You found my shoe for me
and came to my rescue back at the clinic.
You're always around.
I picked up that shoe
so that it wouldn't pollute the ocean.
As for that pervert, Ms. Gam-ri called me out of the blue…
What? I'm always around you?
It was you who came by last night and offered to have a meal today.
Forget it, then.
I just wanted to check to prevent any disasters.
To be frank, we're not a good match.
You and I have different social positions.
Social positions?
You know the more similar backgrounds, the better people get along, right?
Since they have similar values and lifestyles,
they'll clash less.
But we're…
I wasn't trying to judge you.
I just wanted to clear up--
I pity myself, but I pity you too.
-What do you mean? -Don't be so calculating.
Isn't it tiring?
Was I too harsh on him?
Don't you agree with me, though?
Objectively speaking, I'm too good for Chief Hong.
I was tired, but this helped clear my head.
Everyone says you're the lucky one.
I can't believe them.
I get that he's from Gongjin too, but that's just not right.
I'm a doctor. I graduated dentistry school.
Chief Hong is from Seoul National University.
From what?
Seoul National University.
-Don't lie. -It's the truth.
He didn't just go to any school in Seoul,
-but Seoul National University? -Yes.
If you think about it, he's been extraordinary ever since he was little.
-Right. -Right.
-Sky is black, earth is yellow -He was always smart since he was little.
-Space and time, vast and limitless -At age six, he memorized the Cheonjamun.
-Sun, high or low, Moon, full or parsed -I've never seen anyone like him.
Even with all that playing,
whenever he took a test, he would always get first place.
He even won gold medal at the Mathematics Olympiad.
That's not all. He was a great fighter too.
No one in Gongjin could hold a candle to him.
He did fight well,
but that's not something to brag about.
He fought to save you from getting beaten up.
You see, I've always been a pacifist against violence.
Goodness. That's embarrassing.
But he eventually got into SNU to study engineering.
-With the highest grades at that. -Right.
We called him the pride of Gongjin
and even put up banners.
-Right. -Didn't he
also get a scholarship every year?
-Right. -Yes.
We sure are proud of him.
Then why does he live the way he does?
They may address him as Chief Hong,
but he's just a part-timer.
You see, there are three mysteries in Gongjin.
-That's so random. -Listen up.
Number one. The real reason why Ms. Yeo and Mr. Chang divorced.
Right. No one seems to know.
Number two. Chief Hong's whereabouts for five years.
His whereabouts for five years?
He returned to Gongjin five years after graduating,
yet no one knows what he did during those years.
There are only rumors.
REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT OF BAEKDU
I heard that he was sent to North Korea as a spy.
You're wrong.
It makes more sense that he worked
for the National Intelligence Service and had to fake his identity.
Wasn't there a rumor that he took care of lions
while working for an animal rights group in Africa?
There was also a rumor that he swam across the Pacific.
You're wrong. It was the mountain.
He climbed Mount Everest without an oxygen tank.
You all talk about him in a positive light.
You know there are other rumors.
Some say he was locked in a mental asylum for all those years.
Others say he was incarcerated for murder.
Why does my ear itch so much?
-Gosh. -That's ridiculous.
-How absurd. He's not that type. -Gosh.
You lunatic. You just have no filter, do you?
Aren't you his friend? How could you believe those rumors?
-I need a lock. -Why?
I ought to lock his lips with it.
-Yes, do that. -Honey, please.
Can you please be quiet?
-What? I just heard those rumors. -Be quiet!
You always bash me! Damn it!
-Goodness. -Oh, dear.
-Where's he going? -Who cares.
-I feel bad for you. -What's his deal?
Hey. Where did you hear all that?
The Gongjin Friends chat room.
Why did they invite you and not me?
Beats me. They just invited me.
So? Who do you think is better off? Chief Hong or me?
We're expecting a patient soon.
Darn it. Are we really friends?
Do you really think he's better than me?
Hey. Love shouldn't be about weighing things.
It's all about what's in your heart.
That's rich coming from someone who only cares about the looks.
You're the one who fell in love with Choi Eun-cheol at first sight.
That's right. I'm simple like that.
But what about you?
You consider their looks, height, educational background, and job.
I'm just filtering as much as I can since I can't date them all.
So? How did that work out for you?
Did you not learn anything after what Lee Gang-uk did to you?
Hye-jin.
Would you like to know what the third mystery is?
I'm going to the restroom.
Me and my big mouth.
Gang-uk, your taste in women changed a lot!
Shut up, you bastard.
She isn't bad for a dental student.
She has a nice body but terrible fashion sense.
I feel embarrassed whenever we go out.
I thought she'd get dolled up today, but no.
I almost told her to go home earlier.
But I like how she looks simple.
There's a very fine line between looking simple and poor.
She only has a few pieces of clothes and shoes.
She looks pathetic.
Let's just drink.
Damn it.
Please tell them I left because something urgent came up.
You stayed in touch with Chief Hong while he was in Seoul, didn't you?
Don't you know what he was up to?
What does it matter?
What's important is that he's with us right now.
But still, I can't help but feel curious.
It did seem a bit odd when he returned. Don't you agree?
I don't want to hear it.
Enough with your rambling.
Look at all these beautiful flowers.
Right.
Isn't this great? I'm glad we planted so many flowers.
It's so strange. When I was young, I didn't care to appreciate them.
That's because we were the flowers back then.
Yes. You're right.
Since they're already in full bloom,
the only thing left is to wither away graciously.
Look over here!
What?
What? Why'd you take a photo of us?
Take photos of these flowers,
not of old women like us.
-I don't even have makeup on. -Exactly.
Don't worry. You're prettier than the flowers.
You and your sugarcoated words. We know you don't mean that.
Though I'm in my 70s, it still feels great to hear I'm pretty.
-Don't you guys agree with me? -What?
That sounds great.
Is this a nanta performance or what?
-Don't I have a good rhythm? -You do.
This is proof that I'm indeed a musician.
Stop eating our snacks and go work.
-Hwa-jeong. -What?
What will you do
about Ms. Yu Cho-hui?
So that's why you're here. Am I your next gossiping victim?
Yu Cho-hui? Why does it sound familiar? I heard that name before.
She's Yeong-guk's first love. The teacher who taught here 15 years ago.
Yes! I remember!
He fell head over heels in love
-with her. -Exactly. You remember her, right?
She's back.
-Seriously? -Yes.
I looked into her, and she's still single.
No way. Yeong-guk must be on cloud nine then.
And you know,
she's much prettier than her.
Right. Hwa-jeong, she was pretty. She was definitely pretty.
She's so strong.
-She popped the head. -Goodness.
That's enough.
He's not my husband anymore. Why talk to me about her?
I'm just worried about you. That's all.
Why is that?
Although you're divorced, Yeong-guk oppa must still bother you.
-Yeong-guk oppa? -Yes.
-Yeong-guk oppa. -That's understandable.
You treat me like we're the same age,
but why treat him like he's older?
He and I are the same age, you know?
Only your birth year matters once you become an adult.
Then I'm older than you!
Gosh, you and I were in the same grade,
but not him.
That's enough.
She'll kill you.
Gosh.
Do you want me to treat you like you're older?
I'll do that. Let me do this for you.
-But you look older. -Shut up.
-Hwa-jeong, you look young. -You do.
Cho-hui.
Would you like to walk on the beach…
Gosh, that's too old-fashioned.
Cho-hui, you like coffee, don't you?
Would you like to have a cup of iced Americano… No.
A cup of I.A. with me?
This is driving me crazy.
Just send it to her! You're so frustrating to watch.
How much did you read?
A drive, a movie, a walk, and a cup of coffee?
That's a lot of dates.
I'm going to file a complaint about you,
a civil servant, slacking off at work.
Texting her isn't something to be ashamed of.
You've been divorced for three whole years.
You're right.
What's stopping you? You're reunited with your first love.
And both of you happen to be single.
Isn't this fate?
It's the perfect time to ask her out.
Send her the text and come in.
Exactly.
Why now, and not back then?
Hey, stop!
Stop!
Thank you. You saved my life.
No, I saved your camera's life.
A person can be rescued and dried, but a camera dies right away.
Shock-proof doesn't mean waterproof.
You know your way around cameras.
What? Wait.
This was the last model… I hear it's really rare.
The lens was harder to get.
Only 500 of them were produced worldwide.
Let's keep some distance from each other.
Sure. How did you find such a rare item?
It was a lot of legwork. It took a few years.
Will you sell it to me? Please do. I'll pay you twice as much.
Gosh, is it a trend nowadays to be brazen and demand more from your lifesaver?
Would you sell it?
Well… Then can I touch it for a moment?
Let me just hold it. You can hold mine.
-Deal? -Deal.
This looks sturdy.
Did the camera and the lens cost about 20 million won?
It was a bit over that.
I believe this was made in 1957.
You took great care of it.
Judging by the price, I doubt this is just a hobby.
Is this your job?
Well, yes. I guess you can say that.
What do you mean?
I take photos and videos.
Are you here on a location shoot?
I'm not sure the neighborhood counts as that.
I see. You live nearby.
Then do you know how to get to the observatory?
Look.
Take a left in front of that forked road.
Walk 30m, and you'll see a barbershop.
Take a left, and you'll see a set of stairs that lead to the mountains.
Just go straight. Simple, right?
Yes. Thank you for everything today.
We should always lend a hand to others. Have a safe trip.
-Thank you. Goodbye. -Bye.
Hey! Take a left, not a right! Take…
Darn it.
Hey!
Why am I here?
This is a killer view.
The breeze is so refreshing too.
You're such a happy-go-lucky guy. First time in Gongjin?
No. This is already my fourth time here this year.
Did you hide treasure here? Why so often?
Gongjin wasn't my original destination,
but I lost my way.
Gosh. Have you ever thought about using recent technology?
There's GPS or online maps.
Even they couldn't be of help.
But because of that, I stumbled across this great place, Gongjin.
You're an optimist with a bad sense of direction.
It's okay to get lost or take the long route every now and then.
Every time that happened, life took me on an interesting ride.
I hope self-driving cars will be available soon.
It worries me.
People like you really need those things.
I'm hungry.
Just enjoy the view.
Why do you look so glum?
Embarrassed about mentioning
social positions to a guy from a prestigious school?
That wasn't why.
But thanks for reminding me.
There's something I'm really curious about.
Did you really not sleep with him?
Hey.
But then again,
a conservative girl like you would never give in to your desires.
I think I blacked out yesterday.
-Completely? -Not completely,
but I only remember bits and pieces.
I hung on a streetlamp
and laughed like a lunatic.
What should I do?
You don't need to tell me.
Stop thinking and forget about it.
Do you know why it's so painful after blacking out?
It's because you try so hard to remember everything.
What's done is done. Just press delete,
forget about everything, and feel at ease.
-Should I do that? -Yes.
Okay.
But when you blacked out,
did it become rated R?
Hey!
Hello.
-Hello. -Hello.
Don't you live next door?
Yes.
I moved in a few days ago, and I finally get to greet you.
My name is Yu Cho-hui.
Nice to meet you. I'm Yoon Hye-jin.
We work at Yoon Dental Clinic over there.
Stop by if your teeth ever ache.
Goodness. Are you the doctor who'll be visiting the school tomorrow?
Yes. I am.
I teach at Cheongjin Elementary School.
What a small world.
I see.
I hope we get along.
Right. I hope we get along as well.
All right.
Hwajeong Raw Fish Restaurant?
All right.
Where should we sit?
You can sit by the window.
Are you sure this place sells tasty food?
Come on. I'm telling you.
All right. Pick what you want.
Sit down and pick with me.
No, I should take your order.
Sorry?
Is this your restaurant?
No, it's not. But since I'm here, I might as well help out.
Can I just give you what I want?
-Sorry? -I'll be back soon.
Wait… But…
That's some smooth touting.
Gosh.
Goodness, what big portions. And these are some special mussels.
Most people from Seoul think they're just regular mussels.
You see, I'm quite the gourmet.
I see.
How is this so soft?
Well, it's because they were fished.
Those caught in traps harden due to stress.
-I want to introduce this on my show. -Your show?
I get it. You did mention that you took videos.
Actually, I'm…
-You must be a mukbang Youtuber. -What?
If I'd known, I would've given you more.
No, I'm actually--
You have to work harder.
I watch a lot of mukbang shows,
but you don't look familiar.
-Really? -Yes.
If you want to survive in that field, you should stand out.
Go safe and you'll flop.
I do hear that often.
They say my shows are always the same and want something new.
Of course. It's all about variety.
Come up with something new, okay?
I made this. Eat up.
That hit home.
Whatever.
You're so good at calligraphy.
What are you writing?
Hoe-ja-jeong-ri, Geo-ja-pil-ban.
"Those who meet must part,
and those who leave must return."
That's true.
I should check your school notice.
Do you have any homework?
No, I don't.
Dr. Yoon will be teaching you how to prevent cavities tomorrow.
Right. Don't you have a new homeroom teacher?
How is she?
I like her. She's pretty and kind.
Really? What's her name?
Yu Cho-hui.
Ms. Yu Cho-hui.
HOE-JA-JEONG-RI GEO-JA-PIL-BAN
STUDENT INFORMATION
CHANG I-JUN
FATHER: CHANG YEONG-GUK MOTHER: YEO HWA-JEONG
NEW MESSAGE
Cho-hui, this is Yeong-guk.
Are you free this weekend?
Would you like to have dinner together?
So? How do you like the food?
Overall, it's not bad. The seasoning isn't bad either.
Is that supposed to be a compliment?
Right. Pardon my cold review. It's because my work is related to food.
-It's good. -I see.
How's the large halibut? It was freshly caught at sea.
To be frank,
that dish disappointed me the most.
It did?
It's the breeding season for halibut, so they're not as tasty.
And large-sized fish are best eaten fermented than freshly raw.
Hold up. I agree with the former since that's the law of nature,
but not the latter.
If you want to enjoy the freshness, you should have it right away.
Hold on. I think you have a misconception about fermenting.
Eating it raw means you're having it right away.
If you slice it, wrap it in a plastic wrap,
and put it in the fridge for 5 to 6 hours. That's fermenting.
They're both fresh.
Then why would you refrigerate it?
That's the beauty of waiting.
-Unbelievable. -It'll improve
the texture and taste.
That's enough. None of that is true.
I was born and raised by the seaside.
I had more fish in my lifetime than you did.
You just ate them because they were around,
but I searched far and wide for good quality raw fish.
Okay. Then how about this?
Let's call and ask Baek Jong-won.
-Baek Jong-won? -Yes.
You know him?
Yes. And very well, at that. Here.
BAEK JONG-WON
The person you have called is unavailable.
-Please try your call again later. -Why isn't he picking up?
Maybe he blocked your number.
I didn't take you for a liar.
I'm not. He helped me out a lot. I know him very well.
I do too. I could say hi in person since I saw him on TV all the time.
-That's not it. -That's enough. Forget it.
We may not have fermented fish, but we do have fermented sikhye.
I'll bring some.
He must be a fraud.
Gosh, I…
I feel wrongfully accused.
Why isn't he picking up?
The phone has been turned off.
-You will be forwarded to voicemail. -Did he really block me?
Now, we will rest our body and soul.
Put down everything that has happened today.
Chief Hong. Do you like me?
Don't be absurd.
Keep your mind focused and relax your body.
You and I have different social positions.
I'm a doctor. I graduated from dental school.
Chief Hong is from Seoul National University.
Breathe normally.
Inhale and exhale.
I pity myself, but I pity you too.
Don't be so calculating. Isn't it tiring?
Mi-seon, what are you doing?
Constipated again?
No, it's actually the opposite.
I'm a bit busy going through both extremes.
-What did you have last night? -Beer.
I was told to stay away from alcohol due to the nature of my constitution.
You're ridiculous.
Hey, I'm sorry, but you should go alone. I'm done for.
Are you serious?
How am I supposed to teach for an hour without an assistant?
I've already found a substitute.
Who?
You'll see.
CHEONGJIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Ms. Dentist, over here.
Darn it. Mi-seon, you're dead meat.
Hey, Cho-hui.
Hey, Yeong-guk.
I actually texted you last night.
I know. But it was quite late at night, so I didn't reply.
I see.
Feel free to text me whenever you want. You can do that.
I'm here to sit in on the cavity prevention class
since our town is hosting the program.
Really?
And you see,
-I have a son. -Dad!
Hey! Come here. Goodness.
What is it?
Honey.
Mom, Dad. This is my homeroom teacher.
What?
Ms. Yu, my mom and dad.
Hello, I'm I-jun's mother.
Hello.
I'm Yu Cho-hui, his new homeroom teacher.
Hwa-jeong.
Goodness. Is she out?
Yes. Ms. Yeo is at I-jun's school.
Why?
She went to sit in on some special class for kids on behalf of the parents.
Oh, dear. Has the war finally begun?
Sorry. I was walking too close to a conservative girl like you, wasn't I?
Don't be ridiculous.
I just don't want my thoughtless actions to cause any more misunderstanding,
such as you thinking I like you.
That's enough.
We sure live in a heartless world,
seeing how my small act of kindness was misconstrued as interest.
I said stop.
Let me make this clear. I didn't come here because I missed you.
I just accepted a part-time job. That's all.
Gosh, you're teasing me an awful lot for one small mistake.
That's right. I'm planning to keep this up for a while.
By the way, are you sure you can assist me properly?
Don't tell me you even have a dental certificate.
Hurry up.

Guys, how do we get cavities?
Yes, I-jun?
The bacteria in your mouth break down sugar or starch,
convert it into acid, and erode your teeth.
Correct. Applaud.
Applause.
Now, let's learn how to brush our teeth.
-Chief Hong. -Yes?
How do you brush your teeth?
I slowly brush my teeth up and down and on both sides like this.
Well… Wait. You shouldn't do it that way.
You should never do what he does.
Watch. Hold the toothbrush like so.
Imagine vibrating it.
-Brush gently. -Like this?
-Right. -Gently.
-This is how you do it. -All right.
-Okay! -Okay!
That'll be the end. Now, questions.
Any questions?
-Are you guys dating? -What?
Did you kiss?
Kids, don't put her on the spot like that.
Are you getting married?
-Why do you like him? -Are you in love?
Listen. I'll only answer teeth-related questions.
Guys, my parents told me
that two nights ago,
Dr. Yoon and Chief Hong…
What was that for?
Stop putting her in an awkward position.
Where should we put these chairs?
Don't worry. I'll put them away.
Gosh, how will you carry such heavy…
It'll be too heavy for you. Let me.
-But… -Unbelievable.
He never lifted a finger at home.
What is he trying to prove?
Come on, now. I'm not trying to prove anything.
Ms. Yeo, shouldn't you leave?
What? Is that what you want?
When did I ever say that?
It was just a question.
I-jun's homeroom teacher is my new next-door neighbor.
And I sense a love triangle among those three.
It could even be produced into a movie.
Ms. Yeo. I mean, Hwa-jeong.
If you're free this weekend, let's have a meal together.
What?
Wait. You're eating with her, not with me?
You're invited too.
Let's all have a meal together.
But aren't you busy this weekend?
No, I have time.
-Are you okay? -What's wrong?
Are you not feeling well?
Ms. Yeo, what's going on? Are you in pain?
Gosh.
Do you have a toothache?
I think so.
Oh, dear.
Where's the nurse's office?
Yes. This way.
Walk slowly.
-Goodness. -Is it very painful?
-Does this one hurt? -No.
-What about this one? -It's fine.
Really?
-How about-- -That hurts.
-It does? -Yes.
-How about here? -There too.
It hurts a lot.
I see.
Do you have a habit of clenching your teeth?
I think so. I clench them in my sleep too.
I think it's myofascial pain syndrome.
Myofascial pain syndrome?
Yes. All the nerves close to your face
may make you mistake pain caused around your head
for that in your molars.
Then what should I do?
Ice and heat the area alternately for today and come to the clinic tomorrow.
If you're in too much pain, you can take painkillers.
Thank you, Dr. Yoon.
The pain went on for a while, so I thought I had cavities.
Most people automatically think toothaches stem from the teeth.
But at times, that's not the case.
So it's important to find out
where the pain is coming from.
That way, you can receive proper treatment.
Right.
Ma'am, I need anti-diarrheal medicine.
One minute.
Ms. Pyo.
Hello, what brings you here?
To get some dental floss. You told me to floss every day.
Right, I did.
Are you feeling unwell?
Well, I have a slight headache.
Ma'am, did you say anti-diarrheal medicine?
Is it serious? Watery?
Ms. Pyo.
Ms. Pyo!
If it's not that bad, I advise you not to take the medicine.
Drink a lot of lukewarm water. Sports drinks are good too.
It's better to let it flow out
than to force it to stop.
How can you talk about it as if it's nothing?
Because I went through it as well. It's nothing embarrassing.
Are you always this kind?
Sorry?
I've only dated bad guys.
I see.
What's your ideal type? Is there a certain type you like?
My ideal type is
quite simple. Someone who's gentle but strong on the inside.
Someone who's well-mannered and soft-spoken.
Someone who exudes soft charisma. I especially like women
who look good in hanbok.
I see.
I love watching historical dramas.
We're polar opposites. This is never going to work.
Damn it.
What does this mean?
-Pay me. -Pay you?
Ms. Pyo said you'd pay me for today.
That darn girl. I'm going to take this out of her paycheck.
No wonder they say the rich are the greediest.
She's your one and only friend.
I was just joking.
But I don't have cash. I'll wire it to you later.
Buy me food then. I'm hungry.
What… What do you want to eat?
Why did we have to come all the way here for a meal?
Too many prying eyes in Gongjin.
But not here, right?
Gosh. We might as well crawl to the restaurant.
-Are we good? -What?
Gosh.
I'm coming.
What should we have?
-Snow crab? -No. Something else.
Then it's raw fish.
-Do you have right-eyed flounders? -Yes.
Please slice one as it is and season the other one.
Sure. I'll bring it over soon.
-Okay. -Okay.
I'm sorry about the other day.
I was wrong.
You know, the "social position" talk.
Forget it. No need to be sorry for your opinion.
Still…
By the way,
you're from Seoul National University?
How did you know?
You really studied engineering?
-What? You can't believe it? -No.
What are you doing?
Solve this.
What is this?
A CSAT question.
Who knows? You could be lying.
Okay.
Let's see.
Here. The answer is number five.
-Correct. -Happy?
One more.
Unbelievable.
Gosh.
Then this one.
Negative 27.
-You even solved this? -I did it in my head.
Last one.
-I promise. -Come on.
Correct.
You got it right.
You know you're childish, right?
-Yes. -Happy now?
Not at all. I'm even more frustrated now.
Why would you live like this?
Then how should I?
Live an honest life. You should reap what you sow.
I'm realistic.
If there's an input, there ought to be an output.
And if your definition of output is money and success,
I must look like an awfully inefficient individual.
I can't deny that.
-That's why you're a lost cause. -What do you mean?
You're so narrow-minded.
Money and success aren't the only valuable things in life.
Happiness, self-contentment, world peace, love…
Anyway, life isn't a mathematical equation.
It doesn't have a clear answer. There's no right answer either.
You're just given a problem, and it's up to you how you solve it.
Fine, I get it. You and your nagging.
All right. I'll give you a question this time.
Let's see.
This will do.
Chief Hong, I was the top student in my math class.
It's not easy to get into dental school.
Unbelievable. Give it.
-Shouldn't this be 5, not 2? -It was a mistake.
I have a headache.
What's taking so long?
Hold on. Give me a minute.
My goodness.
Are you guys kids or something? Why did you scribble on the table?
You've doodled from end to end all over the table.
That looks delicious. I'm sorry.
You were saved by the bell.
Had she come a bit later, I would've solved it. What a pity.
When did gray hair grow here?
They say time is fair for everyone,
but it seems like I'm the only one who aged.
1 UNREAD MESSAGE
Hwa-jeong, it's Cho-hui.
Did you get treated well?
She's as kind to a fault as back then.
VILLAGE CHIEF CHANG YEONG-GUK
COME GET THE TRASH BAGS FOR LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS
Wait. I-jun, your tooth is growing.
Really?
Yes. Soon, you'll have all adult teeth.
I hope it'll be soon.
Really?
Well, I don't.
Why not?
Because I'm sad.
I'm sad to see you grow up.
I-jun, don't grow up too quickly, okay?
It's here.
It's growing.
-Yes. -Thank you.
That was good.
You have sauce on your lips.
-No. To your right. -Here?
A bit up. Over there.
I can do it myself.
What? What's the problem?
Let's go if you're done.
What's with you?
They didn't say it was going to rain today.
It's okay. I have an umbrella.
I always carry one in case it rains, you know.
Hold on. Where did it go?
Looking for this?
Why do you have it?
You left it that day.
I see.
Let's walk to the car together.
Are you nuts? I'm all drenched!
So? Don't you feel refreshed?
No, I don't. It feels uncomfortable and damp.
So what? Let your hair down and just feel it.
You're bound to meet unexpected situations in life.
Even if you use an umbrella, you'll end up getting drenched.
Just put your hands up and welcome the rain.
Let's just play.
-Stop that. -Why? It's fun!
Stop it.
Wait!
They're having a blast.
Timeout.
Let's call a truce. I'm exhausted.
Okay, agreed.
So? Getting wet in the rain isn't that bad, right?
Who knows? I might catch a cold tomorrow.
It's so hot.
It's better now.
You're not running a fever, but let's stop here just in case.
-Chief Hong. -Yes?
About…
that night…
Are you sure nothing happened?
Yes. Nothing happened.
Really?
Yes.
Are you still having the same nightmare?
Yes.
HOMETOWN CHA-CHA-CHA
Hye-jin, you're losing it.
Is anything the matter?
He obviously remembers but is playing dumb.
I'm only asking out of pure curiosity,
but what do you think of Chief Hong?
I get that being nosy is incurable,
but I'd appreciate less of your concern.
That really hurts my feelings.
You have the wrong idea.
Why does it have to be at my expense?
It's upsetting and I'm offended.
That drink sure was strong.
You exhaust me.
I don't care for the rumors.
I'd like for you to stop crossing the line.
