HOMETOWN CHA-CHA-CHA
I like you.
I have feelings for you.
I'm one of those people who plan every second of their lives
according to a lifespan of 99 years.
I don't like people crossing the line or crossing it myself.
And I'm fond of expensive shoes.
I guess I'm your complete opposite.
It's the same with our blood types and personalities.
I bet we're not compatible in any aspect.
We're probably as different as penguins that eat krill
and polar bears that feed on sea lions.
But to hell with all of that…
because I like you.
Ms. Dentist, I--
Don't say anything.
I'm not asking anything from you.
I… My feelings for you keep inflating my heart,
and it could burst at any second.
I can't help it anymore.
I…
I can't…
deny it anymore either.
I should go now.
Wait. You can't just leave like this.
I said and heard everything
that I wanted.
But I said like one sentence.
I see. But that kiss was more than enough--
I like you.
You told me your feelings for me so honestly.
I should give you a proper reply.
I also have
feelings for you.
That's what happened. No. I couldn't help it.
Now that we've shared a kiss
and confessed our love,
-what's next? -What do you think?
It's this.
Let's go.
By the way, I'm the penguin, and you're the polar bear, right?
What?
It's obvious, judging by our personalities and builds.
Sea lions? I bet you could feed on humans too.
Hey.
That's it. I'm talking about that glare.
You're so annoying.
You got me.
Come on.
Your ankles must hurt.
It's okay. The heels are pretty, and that's all that matters.
We're already home.
You're right.
Does this mean we're officially in a relationship?
Well… You can mark it on your calendar if you want.
Actually, wait. Can we hold off being a couple for a few days?
What? Why?
Well, Seong-hyeon told me that he liked me.
Why do you have to tell me that now,
when we're just starting to date?
I'm sorry.
I saw it coming, though it was sooner than expected.
-When did this happen? -On Tuesday.
On the day of my grandpa's death anniversary?
Hold on.
It happened on the day you helped me hold the memorial service?
It's not like that. He was waiting in front of my house--
I don't want to hear it. Does it mean you haven't given him an answer?
Why not? Are you having second thoughts now that you have to dump him?
It's not like that.
-Are you jealous? -Jealous?
That's absurd.
I'm talking about the basic etiquette you need to keep
when someone confesses their feelings to you.
If someone serves the ball, you have to hit it back, not dodge.
To call it in or out, you need to give him a straight answer.
Then what about you?
Why didn't you do anything if you had known it all along?
Perhaps, you didn't care if he'd ask me out.
Back then, I didn't know I liked you this much.
So, exactly how much do you like me?
Well… Quite a bit.
I'm sure you won't be disappointed by the amount.
Gosh, I was expecting a lovey-dovey answer.
-What kind of vague answer is that? -Well, it's…
as big as Lake Baikal.
Lake what?
-Lake Baikal. -Lake Baikal.
You may be smart, but you seriously lack common knowledge.
Do you want to get dumped already?
Anyway, what will you do about Seong-hyeon?
I'm going to meet him tomorrow and tell him.
Just the two of you?
It'd be weird if you came.
Unbelievable.
I like things in black and white.
I want time to sort out
the past I've shared with Seong-hyeon and the time I'll be spending with you.
So we're not in a relationship just yet.
You're really something, aren't you?
I won't call you until it's all sorted out,
so I hope you'll do the same.
Don't. Don't you dare call me.
Just go home. Go.
Unbelievable.
This is so annoying.
What was it again?
Lake Baikal?
Lake Baikal.
THE SIBERIAN SNOW COVERS LAKE BAIKAL
This is how much he likes me?
Hello?
Didn't you tell me not to call you?
You're the one who said that first.
I suddenly had something to ask you.
What is it?
I looked up Lake Baikal.
Hold on.
"Lake Baikal is the oldest lake in the world
at 25 million years old.
With a depth of 1,743m,
it's also the deepest lake in the world."
I didn't know you liked me this much.
Just hang up.
Seriously?
No.
Gosh.
By the way,
you should tidy up your room. How could it be so messy?
Well… Normally, I keep it clean.
I just had to rush out today, so I couldn't clean up.
Enough with the excuses. Go to your desk.
-My desk? -Yes.
One minute. Okay, I'm here.
Do you remember who took that family photo?
No. But I do remember bawling that day.
I expected too much from someone who couldn't even remember
if she had pulled out the plug or not.
Why do you ask?
Do you seriously not remember?
There was this old man and a little boy.
I tried so hard to make you smile that day.
Are you saying the boy who danced
was you?
Yes. It was me.
No way. I can't believe this. Seriously?
What a small world.
Why are you so surprised? You couldn't even remember me.
I wonder if I'd be able to find some boy as well.
Boy?
When I was in high school,
I ran away from home and came to a convenience store in Gongjin.
And this boy paid for me.
Don't tell me he gave you 100 won.
Was that you again?
Was that girl you?
Was it really you?
I'm getting goose bumps.
Me too.
It's like fate.
No, just a coincidence.
Gongjin is a small region.
I'm hanging up.
Eventually, we found each other once again.
EPISODE 11
Let's add an insert here.
I think we should emphasize it.
Okay.
Let's show this shot later.
Probably better in reverse.
HYE-JIN
One second.
Hello?
I think a reverse shot will be better.
We'll reveal the reason later to make it more fun.
It'll evoke the viewers' curiosity
and offer a twist at the end.
Let's cut it out.
I'm really sorry, but I need to head out for a bit.
-Where are you going? -I'll be back in the evening.
Take a break. I'll wrap it up tonight.
Really? Can we do that?
Sure. Rest up.
What? What has gotten into that workaholic?
-Here's some iced water. -Thank you.
You look hot. Isn't it hot today?
Yes. I did rush over here, but it is also hot today.
Right. You rushed over.
But you're not shooting anything today, are you?
No, I'm not. I just urgently needed to come to meet someone.
I see.
All right.
-Right, I should order. -Sure.
Two iced Americanos, please.
Okay, iced Americano.
If there's anything else you want, feel free to order.
Just say the word, and it's on the house.
Thank you. I owe a lot to you guys.
Gosh. Not at all. But if you feel indebted to me,
please remember my name and recommend me to Sugar People and--
Tell them singer Oh Yoon
-would like to appear on the show. -Sure.
Hello.
He already ordered.
-Okay. -Have a seat.
My name is Oh Yoon.
Oh Yoon.
Hey.
I'm sorry for calling you out of the blue.
Don't say that. I love spontaneous meet-ups.
It's exciting.
It feels like I've just been handed my report card.
Looking at it later won't change my grades,
but I'm still afraid to open it.
Okay.
I'm ready.
I promise to accept whatever you tell me.
Seeing you again brought back old memories.
To be frank, I never really reminisced those days.
I was feeling run-down back then.
I had to make ends meet
and also win a scholarship.
You're right.
I had no time to eat,
so I always carried around a few sausages in my pocket.
I never slept more than five hours a day.
I was barely keeping my head above water.
And you were the first person to care for me.
You were concerned about my well-being and whether I had eaten or not.
Let's eat.
Okay.
When you said, "Let's eat,"
sometimes you meant it literally.
LET'S EAT
Sometimes, it meant "Let's play,"
or "Well done."
Hello?
Let's eat.
Sometimes, it meant, "Let's be happy."
Hye-jin!
Those words were like a spell to me.
I had blamed myself
for that foolish breakup.
Do you want to go eat?
-Sure. -Your words
comforted me greatly.
I had feelings for you too.
I knew you had feelings for me too,
but I feigned ignorance.
I wasn't confident it'd work
because I felt like you had seen me at my lowest.
I've always regretted
not being true to my feelings back then.
So
I'd like to be honest this time around.
I'm sorry, Seong-hyeon.
There's someone I like.
I'm relieved.
You didn't hesitate
like we did in the past.
You mustered up the courage to tell me honestly,
so I'm relieved.
But you see,
that wasn't your lowest.
You may have lived off sausages
and worn ragged shoes,
but you still radiated.
You worked hard every day of your life
and tried not to lose yourself no matter what.
And I loved you for that.
I'm truly honored that someone like you…
is my first love, Hye-jin.
Likewise.
Dad, the ice cubes are melting. Shouldn't you serve them?
Hurry up.
No, it seems that I shouldn't.
Are you crying?
-No, I'm not. -Yes, you are.
Hurry up and serve them.
Seong-hyeon.
Thank you for the charm.
Would it make you feel
uncomfortable if I told you to just keep it?
Well, I'm just glad it comforted you, even for a moment.
Thank you so much.
And I'll be forever grateful.
Why did he come here?
Chief Hong.
Chief Hong, I need to have a word with you.
Okay. Sure.
What do I do?
Are they going to fight over me?
What if it gets serious?
Gosh.
I felt that the legs weren't strong enough.
That's exactly right. Safety comes first.
Hye-jin turned me down. She says she likes someone else.
I think there's a problem with the wood.
Maybe it's rotten.
We should replace them.
She didn't tell me who it was,
but I bet he doesn't deserve her.
Why do you think so?
Isn't it obvious? And my hunch tells me so.
You shouldn't judge people based on a hunch.
I didn't take you for that type.
That's very rash of you.
Be good to her.
Make her laugh a lot
and treat her to good food.
I'm a simple guy. I don't like complicated things.
I don't like weighing things when it comes to people.
It gives me a headache.
I like her.
But I think
I'm pretty fond of you too.
I hated studying trigonometric functions back in school.
Love triangles just aren't for me.
I don't hate you either. You just require a lot of care.
You're not too bad.
I hammered it wrong because of you.
See? You do require a great deal of care.
I told you to just watch, but you insisted on helping.
What about the leg you broke?
Didn't you hear me earlier? I told you the wood was rotten.
Forget it.
Just teach me how to surf again when you're free.
Sure. Let me know when you'll be free,
so I can make other plans.
Gosh, you're such a pain in the neck. Darn you.
I think we can still use this. I thought the wood was rotten,
but I can fix it.
What? Stop smiling. You'll grow on me.
This is how I normally look.
I don't get why people say that.
Hurry up.
Are you going to help me or not?
Right. Could it be because I never did the laundry?
That can't be.
I was in charge of cleaning the bathroom and mowing the lawn.
Right. Could it be because I snore too much?
That can't be. She snores even more when she's tired.
What could be the reason for our divorce?
-What are you doing? -Gosh, you startled me.
Why are you here on a Sunday?
I'm here for the garbage bags.
Ms. Yeo was too busy to pick them up herself,
so I came by instead.
How could a zone chief
be so irresponsible?
She could stop by on Monday, but since I'll be eating there--
Hey! A civil servant doesn't work on the weekends.
Don't you know that?
Just go home. I'll give them to her.
But I'm going to eat at her restaurant anyway.
Eat somewhere else.
-Fine. -Darn it.
What a pain. How dare she make me run errands for her? I'm the village chief.
-Then let me-- -Damn it.
What's the matter with him?
I haven't seen you in ages.
Come by more often.
All right.
By the way, how old are you again?
-Me? -Yes.
I'm past 40. Why do you ask?
My husband's close friend
is a widower.
He's 44 with no kids
and a judicial scrivener.
He has a huge office in front of Chung-ho City Hall.
He sounds amazing, but I doubt he'd date me.
You are exactly
his ideal type.
He likes petite, cute women who are self-sufficient.
He loves children too, so your son will be just fine.
Oh, my. That's exactly me.
What do you say? Are you free this weekend?
What?
What was that?
Mr. Chang, what brings you here?
I have some business to do with her.
I see.
Ms. Yeo, you should fulfill your role as the zone chief.
Must I come all the way here to hand you these garbage bags on a Sunday?
I never asked you to.
I said I'd stop by on Monday.
You should've stopped by last Friday.
I heard you were busy,
but you're just having a casual chat.
You might as well just step down.
Sure. My term will be ending soon anyway.
Goodness.
Please distribute them tomorrow.
Don't you worry.
-Goodbye. -Goodbye.
So…
What do you say? Do you want me to set a date?
I'll keep it a secret from Mr. Chang.
You don't need to. I was just kidding earlier.
I'm not interested in getting married again.
I'm content living with I-jun like this.
What a shame. He's a great guy.
I appreciate it, though.
Was everything okay?
What did he say? Did he talk about me?
What did he say? Tell me.
You should apply for a rap contest. You've got talent.
-What did you guys talk about? -Go on.
Come on. Tell me.
He said he liked me.
What?
He favors me over you.
Don't lie.
I should've taken a photo of your face just now.
You show a variety of expressions. It's quite entertaining.
Stop joking around and tell me.
He wants me to treat you well.
He already knew everything.
You have a great friend.
Yes, I do.
How boring of you to agree off the bat.
It's all sorted now, right?
No. Not yet.
Why… What's left?
Let's keep our relationship a secret for now.
Impossible. They'll find out right away.
That can't happen.
Think of all the drama they started when we weren't dating.
Imagine they find out.
They'll start all kinds of rumors.
Like, "They'll get married soon. She must be pregnant."
Gosh, I think you're the one
making a fuss here. You and your imagination.
-That was just an example. -Sure.
In any case, keep it a secret at all costs.
I'm hungry. Should we have some jeon since it'll rain today?
-I'm serious. -Me too.
I know that they'll find out no matter how hard we try.
I should become a rapper myself.
Just try. Stop joking around.
I will, but it won't work.
Fine. I'll do whatever you want.
Happy?
Yes.
Then today's our first day as a couple, right?
Well, I guess so.
Anyway, does making it official make a big difference?
Of course, it does.
How so?
We can do this…
and this.
And we can even do this.
-Ms. Dentist. -Yes?
Were you always so physically affectionate?
Let me recommend a book to you.
It's Georges Bataille's Erotism.
-Georges… -Bataille.
-Bataille's… -Erotism.
-Erotism? -Yes.
What's it about?
Stuff like this.
This is nice.
It is.
My gosh.
This is very annoying.
Lock the front door from now on.
Mi-seon.
Embarrassed much?
Thanks for the advice.
We'll be more careful.
Mi-seon, I love you.
She's gone.
Did we lock the door?
-Let's be more careful. -Okay.
Georges Bataille.
Erotism? Is it raunchy?
Sort of.
The call is unavailable right now--
You said you'd come back tonight.
What?
Gosh.
-Goodness. Hello, Director Ji. -Hello, Mr. Chang.
What brings you here?
That's what I should ask you.
What are you doing here? You're not filming today.
Well, it's a long story.
If you're alone, would you like to join me?
Is that okay?
Of course.
To tell the truth,
I was frustrated today, so I came for a drink alone.
-Join me then. -Thanks.
Goodness, that looks delicious.
-One more glass, please. -Sure.
Cheers.
This is what I really like about drinking.
I like how you can feel the alcohol going down.
It goes down so smoothly.
I agree. It's refreshing and stress-relieving.
It cleanses you.
You must be quite stressed.
I can empathize with you.
We're both leaders.
I think we share similar difficulties. Don't you agree?
For example, work-related problems and responsibilities.
You're right. Work is tough.
But what's even harder is people.
Relationships can be very difficult.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
I don't know why relationships are so complicated.
Things get so twisted
that in the end, it becomes impossible
to figure out where it all went wrong.
Even if you do something about it, it just gets tangled back up again.
You're right. I totally agree.
I knew we'd click
the moment we first met.
We should've done this sooner.
Tell me about it.
-Let me pour you a drink. -Thank you.
Here, Director Ji.
The moment she heard about him,
she giggled and said
she was the perfect match.
I didn't know she could laugh so easily.
She'd always look at me with discontent
and spew such hurtful words.
I thought
we were meant to be.
I thought I was destined
to come to Gongjin
so I could meet her again.
Why did Cho-hui…
have to disappear before I got married
and show up now?
No.
Why did Hwa-jeong have to ask for a divorce then?
What horrible timing.
Yes, timing.
That's what it is.
Sadly,
time just never seems to be…
on my side.
Darn it.
Oh, no.
This won't come off easily.
Right?
Gosh.
By the way, Director Ji,
do you ever plan on having female guests on your show?
If you shoot season two
with girl group members, I bet it'll be a huge hit.
What? Director Ji.
Hey.
Is Mr. Oh not here yet?
He's not here yet, so relax.
Today I'll have a mocha with a ton of whipped cream.
What? Are you running low on sugar already?
No. My body's overflowing with sweetness.
It's overwhelming.
Want to come inside?
-Can I do that? -Yes.
-Okay, let's see. -Gosh.
I've never been in here before. Look at all this.
Just stand back and watch. I don't want you causing trouble.
Okay.
This is whipping cream.
I see.
You put it in here.
-This is so cool. -Then you whip it with this.
-Goodness. -Why is this…
Why won't this work?
Are you okay? Did it get on you?
No, I'm fine. It's all over your face.
-Really? -I'll wipe it off.
-There's some here. Gosh, you're cute. -Here?
Isn't there some here?
Here? You're adorable.
What about here?
Don't you think that was so harsh? Forget the coffee.
You're so annoying.
Ms. Yoon, what did he…
Du-sik.
What did you say to her to get yourself slapped in the face?
That must've hurt.
Why did you come so early?
Why is that a problem?
You wanted me to come learn.
I'm just asking.
That slap came out of nowhere.
MS. DENTIST
Chief Hong, what other part-time jobs do you have today?
Let's see. First, I need to go to Gongjin Korean-Chinese Restaurant.
Gosh, my stomach is killing me.
It feels like someone reached inside my stomach and yanked on it.
You reek of alcohol.
I'm guessing you had
soju with makgeolli.
Don't talk about alcohol.
Have some of this. It's codfish soup.
It'll soothe your stomach.
Why did you drink so much? You can't even hold your liquor.
Gosh.
God, I feel much better.
Where did you get this?
I bought it while I was outside.
-Why? -Isn't it obvious?
Because you're an important person here in Gongjin.
You're a fragile and quick-tempered man
who must be protected at all costs. You're like…
a fuse!
That's not a compliment.
Gosh, the least you can do is thank me.
Here. Drink up before it gets cold.
-This is really good though. -Drink up. Slowly.
YOON DENTAL CLINIC
Your jjajangmyeon is here.
Chief Hong!
Hey, you're here.
Will you be working there tomorrow too?
Why do you ask?
Do me a favor
and try to work at different restaurants, such as Korean or Japanese ones,
so I can have various dishes for lunch.
Chinese food shouldn't be the only option,
but you're not giving me much of a choice.
Hey, Mi-seon.
You like Chinese food. It's good.
Noted.
I apologize for the trouble I'm causing on your diet. Sorry.
It's okay. It's not your fault.
It's my fault for having a friend who can't control herself.
Will you guys stop teasing me?
Enjoy it while it's hot.
Leaving already?
Gosh, she's unbelievable.
My goodness.
Chief Hong.
Why aren't you eating?
I want to see you a bit longer.
But we saw each other this morning too.
I'm sorry about earlier. I just panicked.
It must've hurt.
It was this side.
This side? Did it hurt? Let me blow the pain away.
-Chief Hong. -It worked.
You forgot to take the fried dumplings-- Oh my!
Oh, gosh.
Goodness gracious.
-Oh, goodness. -How could you forget the dumplings?
Don't you know how much I love crispy dumplings?
I ordered tangsuyuk so I could have the free dumplings.
Ms. Dentist.
Ms. Yoon, I didn't peg you as the violent type.
I brought the fried dumplings.
Thank you. Do your job properly.
Gosh.
This is why I never give freebies.
Why did you bring it? I could've picked it up myself.
Don't hang out with her. Let's go.
It's dented.
It's okay. That doesn't matter.
-Goodness, Du-sik. -Thank you.
Gosh.
Jeez, it still hurts.
Gosh, Ms. Dentist… Speak of the devil.
Hello?
Chief Hong, are you mad?
No.
I'm not just mad.
I feel fury, frustration, rage, and anger.
It's more complex.
I'm so sorry. It hurt, didn't it?
Be honest with me. Are you sure you want to date me?
Or do you want to kill me?
No, it was Ms. Cho of all people.
I hope you understand.
I have no other choice. You don't want people to know.
I should respect that.
Where are you right now?
At Bora Supermarket.
Okay, stay there. I'll stop by later.
No, don't come. I don't want you to visit. I got to go.
See you later.
He's so cute.
I'm sorry. I made a huge mistake. I apologize.
Gosh, he startled me.
Apologize to her. She's the one who pulled an all-nighter.
I just got here.
Ji-won, what do you want to do with me?
You can beat me all you want.
I'll gladly receive the punishment you give me. Go on. Hit me.
Do-ha, why is he going overboard?
I'm hungry. Buy me food.
And use your own card.
All right. Tell me what you want, and I'll buy it for you.
-Haecheong Noodles. -Sure.
Go on. Order.
Okay. Where's my phone?
My phone…
Just wait.
Found it. I'll order raw fish naengmyeon, mul-naengmyeon,
dumpling stew, and galbijjim.
-Okay. -Okay.
-Chief Hong. -No, don't come near me.
-Why not? -Stay at least two meters away from me
when we're outside for the sake of my safety.
Two meters? Is this enough?
That's not two meters. That's not even one meter.
I think you and I have different measurement standards.
I'd like you to follow the international standard.
"I'd like you to follow the international standard."
-Chief Hong. -Yes?
How about we go on our first official date this weekend?
A date?
What do you have in mind?
On our date…
We could go for a walk,
have food,
and if you want, we can do
some other stuff too.
Like what?
-Just some other stuff. -Like this?
Stop it!
-Why? -You're ruining my hair.
You still look pretty.
Stop it!
-I thought I told you not to. -I'm sorry.
I told you to stop. Stop being so annoying.
Why is it so warm?
I'm bleeding.
Don't do that again.
Gosh.
I'm sorry.
Did you see that? Ms. Yoon didn't even hesitate
to headbutt him.
I agree. It's safe to say
that she despises him.
I should get going.
Okay. Cheer up.
Bye.
I'M SORRY. HOW'S YOUR NOSE?
DID YOUR NOSE STOP BLEEDING? I'M SORRY…
-I'm truly sorry. -Dr. Yoon, you have a patient.
Coming.
I'm sorry.
I feel so bad. I'm so sorry, Chief Hong.
YOUR CHEEK, SHIN, AND NOSE… I'M SORRY, CHIEF HONG
Hey, aren't you getting off?
-Mi-seon. -Yes?
Why do you think Chief Hong hasn't checked his texts for the past five hours?
Because he's busy?
Even so,
how could he not have time to check his phone?
Is he mad at me?
Or did he block me?
He hasn't read any of my texts.
Did he block me?
I'm sorry, my friend.
For what?
I was just like you now when I was in a relationship.
God, it must've been so annoying.
You learn the most by putting yourself in other people's shoes.
-Am I so annoying right now? -Yes.
Am I being cringy?
I'm going home.
Why won't he read my texts? It's bothering me so much.
Is he not home?
Should I wait for him and make him feel better?
He's tidier than he seems.
How did I not recognize him?
He looks exactly the same.
How adorable.
Gosh, he's so cute.
How adorable.
I love that he reads a lot.
What Is Love?
All right. Come on in.
-Okay. -What?
-Try the candle that he made. -Is he not alone?
-What do I do? -It's really nice.
-Is it really that nice? -You bet.
I always make the best quality goods.
Why are the lights on?
Come on in.
-The lights are on. -Come on.
Goodness. It's late.
Hold on. There's a lot of dust.
It's dusty in here.
You guys are important guests.
Why don't you wait outside? I'll bring them out.
Chief Hong, I need to use your bathroom.
No! Wait.
-Hold on. -Gosh.
Goodness.
-It's over there, right? -Yes. You know where it is.
Why don't you sit down? I'll go bring them.
My room's messy, so don't go inside.
Messy? Don't be absurd.
I've never seen
a young man as tidy as you in my life.
No, it's really messy today.
You're starting to make me curious.
-Let's see. -No!
Come on. It's neat and tidy.
I must've forgotten that I had cleaned up already.
Gosh, silly me. I'm so forgetful these days.
Come see my candles.
-Okay. -Okay?
All right. Check them out. I don't make them often.
I made these masterpieces with bean oil, wooden wicks,
and natural ingredients.
They're filled with essential oils, so they even smell nice.
-Here. Smell them. -Okay.
You're right. They really do smell nice.
It smells like flowers.
-Right? -Yes.
She's here.
I'm feeling generous today. You don't need to pay.
I'll give them to you for free,
-What? -so take them.
Two for each person. All right.
Goodness.
Never mind. Just take them all. Here.
-All of them? -Yes, take them all.
Are we good now? Go home and light them.
See how nice they are for yourself.
-Okay. -Now, go home.
-Let's go. -What?
-Go on. -Okay.
-Go home and light your candles. -All right.
Go on.
I won't see you out today.
Get home safely.
-I need to clean my house. -Okay.
-Goodness. -Let's go.
They're nice. Don't they smell good, Ms. Suk-ja?
-Yes. -Right.
-Get home safely. -Okay.
Bye.
Doesn't he seem suspicious today? He didn't even offer us drinks.
You're right. Is he in a hurry to do something?
Ladies, light these candles in your room,
and any foul smells will be gone.
My grandson came over last time
and said my house smelled musty.
Did that hurt your feelings?
A bit.
There's no need to feel hurt or embarrassed.
It's the law of nature.
It's only natural for old people like us to smell this way.
That's why you need to shower
and bathe in hot water often.
Use Chief Hong's handmade soap, and it'll get rid of your bad odor.
Then how about we go to the bathhouse tomorrow?
-Okay? -Don't walk so close to me in this heat.
Stop clinging on to me.
Ms. Dentist, where…
Ms. Dentist.
Are the ladies gone?
Yes. Why are you here? You should've called.
Well, I couldn't reach you. You didn't even check your texts.
I was busy today.
Wait. Where's my cell phone?
You lost it?
I'm sure it's somewhere. Get out of there.
Okay.
I've been crouching so long that my legs fell asleep.
Come here.
-What are you doing? -There.
-What are you doing? -Are you good now?
Aren't I heavy?
You're as heavy as a sack of rice.
Put me down.
No, let's stay like this for a bit.
Gosh.
-Chief Hong. -Yes?
You should check your texts no matter how busy you are.
I don't like it when I can't reach you.
Okay, I will.
What else? Tell me more.
What else don't you like? Tell me everything.
-What don't I like? -Yes.
Here's one. I don't want you to lie.
I don't want there to be any secrets between us.
-Chief Hong. -Yes?
Walk three steps forward.
Sure.
-That's so cute. -Why?
Did you mark our first day as a couple?
Gosh, no. It's nothing.
What do you mean it's nothing? That's so adorable.
No, it's not what you think. It's for something else. I just…
It's Mi-seon.
Why is the ringtone so loud?
Do you also want an aroma candle?
-An aroma candle? -Maybe a eucalyptus-scented one.
It's good for rhinitis. It opens up your sinuses.
I see.
I don't have rhinitis, but thanks.
Gosh, why did Mi-seon have to call at that moment?
I should mute it from now on.
Do you also certified for making candles?
Yes, of course.
Tell me honestly. How many licenses do you own?
I'm not sure. I have so many that I've lost count.
Then tell me the most eccentric one?
The most eccentric?
Let's see. I have a class-three license to counsel youths,
-and licenses to teach etiquette, -Okay.
to cook pufferfish,
to clean and tidy up, and to teach origami.
To teach origami? They even have a license for that?
Colored paper can hold the whole universe, you dummy.
Dummy? That's so mean.
I can't believe you called me that.
That hurts! My hand!
-Let me go! -Oh, my goodness!
-Have you lost it? -What's wrong?
-Are you okay? -Gosh, I'm terrified of her.
-My goodness. -She's so strong.
I heard what you did. Ms. Yoon, you've gone too far.
-Pardon? -Come on. We saw what you did.
You're so harsh on him.
No one does that even to their worst enemy.
She's right. You even made his nose bleed at the supermarket.
-You even kicked him. -And slapped him.
Gosh, she even slapped you? You're unbelievable.
No, we were just talking and--
This won't do. At this rate, Chief Hong could get badly injured.
I was just going to tell you to be nice to him,
but you've crossed the line.
Don't meet each other for a while.
-Yes, that's a good idea. -Don't even look him in the eye.
Just avoid and ignore each other.
Gosh, that's impossible. Gongjin is a tiny neighborhood.
Don't worry. We'll take care of it.
We can make it work.
Ms. Yoon, come with us.
Let's go.
-Let's go. Come on. -Stop letting her beat you up.
-It breaks my heart. -Hey, Geum-cheol.
-Let them go. -We're off.
-He deserves more beating. -Gosh.
That hurts.
Why are you such a wuss?
-No, that's not it. -Gosh!
COFFEE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY AND BEER IN THE MOONLIGHT
Hello, Ms. Yoon.
Hello.
-Hey-- -Chief Hong, stay there.
Continue what you were doing. I'll take her order.
One cup of iced drip coffee, please.
Okay. One cup of iced drip coffee.
And use her favorite beans, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe.
-I heard. -Okay.
Sit back there.
I don't want to wrinkle my skirt.
I see.
-Chief Hong-- -Stop!
Why would you try to talk to him?
You shouldn't talk to each other from now on.
You always fight when you do. Keep some distance.
Hey, Chun-jae.
-Me? What? -Yes.
-I lost my phone. -Your phone?
Yes. You won't be able to reach me by phone until I find it.
-I see. -I only just bought it,
so I think I should try looking for it for a few days.
Yes, I think so too.
So don't worry even if you can't reach me.
Why would I worry about you? I'm busy worrying about Ju-ri.
-Is it Sunday today? -Hi, guys.
Why are you here at this hour?
You're late for school!
Just be relieved that I'm going to school. See you.
She's such a handful.
Gosh, she gives me headaches.
What should I do with her, Du-sik?
-But she's cute-- -Stop looking elsewhere. Look at me.
I'm going to make coffee. Which beans again?
What was it again?
-Ethiopian. -Ethiopian.
-Ethiopian? -Drip coffee.
-Drip coffee.
I can't believe we have to be apart when we just started dating.
Why did Chief Hong lose his phone? I can't even text him now.
I want to hear his voice.
Gosh, you're so annoying.
I have great respect for our ancestors.
They didn't have phones back then. How did they date and make babies?
Mi-seon, for lunch--
Shark fin soup and spicy nurungji soup.
If I must have Chinese, I want the most expensive dishes.
This is Yoon Dental Clinic. Two bowls of jjajangmyeon, please.
-Thanks. -Shark fin soup.
Chief Hong is coming.
You're so annoying.
Ms. Cho, you came yourself.
Yes, Chief Hong won't be delivering food here for now.
We weren't joking yesterday.
But why didn't you order tangsuyuk as well?
You could've just come.
I can't believe I came all the way here for this.
Why does she keep slapping me?
We have two additional people to board along with the staff we mentioned.
Is that okay?
Yes, that's no problem.
Will there be turbulence? I heard it'll be sunny.
I think it'll be a bit wavy.
You'll just have to take anti-seasickness tablets and wear patches.
What's the matter? Are you okay?
What's wrong?
-Are you sick? -You're sweating.
-Are you okay? -What's wrong?
The lunch was delicious, so I must've stuffed it too quickly.
I'm really fine.
You don't have to stand here. Go sit down somewhere.
Or go home.
Are you serious?
I can't leave you alone here.
I'm fine now.
No. You're not fine.
Upset stomach, my foot.
I know it's your heart that's hurting.
I already paid your hospital bills.
Do you have insurance? If you do, we need the receipt.
Do-ha, you handle things very quickly.
Why can't you be like that at work?
Well, my father was hospitalized for a long time.
So I know how things are done here.
I should've gone to med school, but my grades didn't cut it.
Gosh, come on.
It's not too late.
Chief Hong!
Hey. Wait.
Why is it so hard to see you?
Tell me about it. How have you been for the past six hours?
Not so well.
Did you find your phone?
-No, not yet. -Then get a new one.
Don't you want to text?
My contract still has 20 months on it. Give me one more day to look for it.
Are you saying we'll continue to be out of touch?
No, that's not what I mean. I'll--
-Ms. Yoon! -Du-sik!
What's going on? Arguing again?
-No, we're not. -We're not. We're--
Ms. Yoon, I heard everything.
Please keep a distance to maintain peace in Gongjin.
This isn't the JSA. That's enough.
-Honey, split them up. -Split!
-Ms. Yoon, follow me. -Come with me.
-I'll give you a popsicle. -No, wait.
-I don't like popsicles. -Yun-gyeong.
-What do you like then?
-Bye. -Bye!
But…
What are you doing?
Lie down.
I'm not sleepy.
Then what? Should I force you to lie down?
No. I'll lie down myself.
Gosh.
I'm not doing this for you.
If you're going to fall ill, do it after our show is finished.
Fine.
Now, get some sleep.
Thanks.
I know you care for me
and put up with me a lot.
I'm truly grateful.
I can't believe this happened.
I can't believe someone as healthy as me
was taken to the ER because of an upset stomach.
You should be embarrassed.
I'm dumbfounded and speechless.
But I guess I've been distressed.
I'm trying to get over
my first love for the second time.
My heart's been broken once again,
and it hurts so much.
That's enough.
It'd be cute if you were a teenager,
but you're 35. It could really take a toll on you.
You're right.
Now, close your eyes.
I should do as you say.
I'm going to sleep.
YOON DENTAL CLINIC
Let's see.
Hello.
What brings you here?
Well…
I…
I'd like to get a teeth scaling.
A scaling?
Sure. Please wait over there for a minute.
Okay.
Sure.
Hold onto this. I brought it in case you get nervous.
Okay. Thank you.
Open your mouth.
I'm going to be as gentle as possible.
But raise your hand if it hurts too much.
Okay.
Is there something wrong?
You see,
it's not that I don't like you.
I just want to get to know you slowly.
I'm sure
you can make out what I'm saying.
I'm afraid I don't get what you're saying.
If it's okay with you, I'll proceed.
Okay.
I thought she'd make it out.
What did he say?
-What? -Why did he come?
Don't ask.
Look at you. Why do you look happy?
You have a huge smile on your face.
He said something, didn't he?
It's a secret.
Hey, I tell you everything. You can't do this to me.
Wait. Your next patient, Hyun Yeong-mok, will be here in ten minutes.
Come on. Tell me.
Stretch your arms beforehand. It's an impacted wisdom teeth removal.
Come on. I'm dying of curiosity. Tell me.
Are you really not going to tell me?
I'm so curious.
Gosh, you're smiling from ear to ear.
I'm not.
Tell me.
Why are you smiling?
It's a secret.
This is so unfair. I won't tell you anything ever again.
Not a single thing.
What's with her?
I miss him.
I want to see him.
I miss him.
I want to see him.
Hello?
Ms. Dentist.
Chief Hong.
Where are you? When can we meet?
I don't think we can meet today.
People will gather at the community center for a neighborhood meeting tomorrow,
so I'll see you then. Come to my house, okay?
Hello? Chief Hong. Chief…
Tomorrow?
That's too long.
I can't wait that long.
This is so unfair.
I'm seeing her today.
Yes. Let's wear this.
Let's see.
Time is passing by so slowly.
All right.
Gosh.
Two and a half hours left.
My heart's fluttering.
Hold on. Why…
Why won't the sun go down?
I hope it will soon.
Oh, no. Darn it.
Mi-seon, I'm going on a date.
Bye.
Unbelievable.
She's been single for way too long.
She's having a blast.
It's not like it's her first date.
Exercising in the moonlight Because I can't sleep
But this chaotic life
Du-sik, let's go To the neighborhood meeting
-What's wrong? -I'm sorry,
but I'm not feeling well.
You must've overworked yourself.
Yes, I think so. I don't know what's wrong with me.
Can you tell them that I can't make it?
Okay, I'll do that.
Go home. Don't worry.
I feel bad for not attending.
Just go home. It'll be fine.
I'll be going then.
-What's wrong with me? -Bye.
Why aren't they coming? Gosh.
Hey, Yeong-guk. I mean, Mr. Chang. Over here.
What is it? Why did you make me come all the way here?
I have a very important matter to discuss,
so you should be here as the village chief. There's Hwa-jeong.
Ms. Yu, you're here too.
Of course. She's also a resident here.
-Right. -Hello, Nam-suk.
"Nam-suk"? Goodness, you're awfully friendly.
I don't think we were ever that close.
We just never got the chance.
I can be quite friendly. I'm pretty funny too once you get to know me.
I hope we get along.
Sure. You are funny. I got it.
Yeong-guk, have you been doing well?
Of course, I have been doing great.
I eat, breathe, and sleep well.
But you couldn't poop.
What?
Why would you say that?
I can tell by the color of your face.
You're constipated.
No, I'm not!
Do you want some dandelion pills?
-Stop talking nonsense! -Don't get all worked up.
-Hello. -Hello.
I'm here on behalf
-of Hye-jin. -I'm glad you came.
-Thank you. -You look pretty.
-Goodness. Hi, guys. -Gosh.
-Hello. -Hello.
Hi, Bo-ra.
Okay.
Where are your manners? Say hello!
Hello!
-Hi! -Hey!
Good job.
-Where's I-jun? -Right. Where is he?
He's staying at the restaurant with the kitchen ladies.
He wanted to solve math problems.
I brought some jelly to share with him.
-She did. -Really?
-Hello. -Hello.
What are you all doing out here?
Why are you outside? The mosquitoes will eat you up.
By the way, what's today's agenda?
-Oh, it's-- -Am I late?
-Hey. -Have you been waiting?
Yes.
Gosh. What is it?
You must be curious about today's agenda.
-Yes. -Let me tell you.
What is it about?
Chief Hong!
I've missed you so much.
Me too.
I hate that I can't see you often.
Me too.
I want to see you every day.
I want to hear your voice every day.
I want to hug you every day.
Me too.
Is that all you can say?
I lived for 34 years without you,
but each day seems to last forever
since I've met you.
Hye-jin, what's your deal?
What have you done to me?
Say it again.
-Say what? -My name.
Hye-jin.
Yoon Hye-jin.
I've heard people call my name millions of times.
But it sounds unfamiliar now.
As if I've got a new name.
Gosh. I can't take it anymore.
-She has a weak stomach. -I'm sorry. She vomited.
-Chief Hong, what are you… -What a coincidence.
It's… It's a misunderstanding.
You see, you got it all wrong.
-I see. -I see.
-Right. -It's a misunderstanding.
So…
In other countries, people hug each other all the time--
We're dating.
-My gosh. -Ms. Dentist.
-No way. -I don't want to hide it anymore.
I don't want any secrets.
I want to love you openly.
We're officially in a relationship.
-Goodness. -We know.
Pardon?
-What? -It's been four days, right?
No. It's been three days.
Let me wipe it off.
-Okay. -Here? You're adorable.
It's all over your face.
I should give freebies to Ms. Yoon.
Why aren't you eating?
I want to see you a bit longer.
I'm sorry about earlier. It must've hurt.
-It was this side. -This side?
Let me blow the pain away.
-Cheer up. -Bye.
Gosh, Du-sik left his phone here.
What?
I'm sorry. Here's a heart.
-A heart? -A heart?
See? I told you so.
They tried so hard to keep their relationship a secret.
Should we just tell them that we know everything?
Of course not. We should make them tell us first.
How? Any ideas?
Well…
-What? -What is it?
Let's make them miss each other terribly.
They're head over heels right now.
They'll become desperate if they can't meet.
The desperation will make their love grow.
-Goodness. -You're a genius.
Should we make them pine for each other?
Shall we?
Gosh.
Hold on.
Let's go.
You left this.
You should've taken better care of your belongings.
You little…
You and I are going to have a talk later.
No. I have a family to take care of.
Mi-seon, why are you so quiet? What are you doing there?
I had no idea. I just tagged along.
Did you see that?
I kept it a secret despite knowing everything.
I'm a woman of her word.
I'm glad you did.
Things worked out for them because you stayed quiet.
Chief Hong, congratulations.
Anyway, how did you end up falling for each other?
Ms. Yoon, congratulations.
I'm glad.
I truly am.
I have nothing more to wish for.
Goodness!
This is great.
All right, then. Thank you very much, you guys.
Now that we have your support,
we'll love each other openly.
That's great, Du-sik!
Are you guys holding hands?
Aren't they embarrassed to do that in public?
What's wrong with that? It's sweet.
I want to vomit again.
-Goodness. -Hey.
How did you manage to keep it a secret all this time?
Now that you all know,
please don't get in our way.
-We won't. -She's so daring.
I can't believe this was him.
Today, the star princess met the sea prince.
The princess was crying, but the prince made her laugh.
I hope she returns to the beach and meets him once again.
Gosh, Hye-jin. Your taste in men
hasn't changed at all.
A prince?
Our first day as a couple.
This looks too simple.
Let's see.
HOMETOWN CHA-CHA-CHA
Ta-da.
-What's this? -A bucket list.
-Isn't this romantic? -How so?
Yippy.
Go wash up.
Wash up?
Look out for Seong-hyeon when you see him today.
Give him a drumstick.
Here's the drumstick I've been looking for.
Hye-jin was worried about you.
She said that you looked gaunt.
How can you give up because I pretended not to notice?
Mi-seon!
At times I can be a bit slow.
Hey. Do you know how worried I was?
I had no way of contacting you.
Chief Hong. Hey!
Sorry.
