Gosh.
Hey, do you think this is your room?
Why are you shirtless?
You startled me.
Don't you remember?
-Are you pretending? -Forget it.
Who told you to sleep here?
You were shouting for drinks.
You're the one who wanted to drink.
You said you'd leave as soon as your coach came.
Do you really not remember?
I remember your heavy breathing clearly.
Shut up.
Why did you do it?
Why do you have to be so handsome?
It's annoying me.
How can you sleep?
Are you an animal? How can you sleep so well?
I can't believe you're so gutsy.
Why did you blow your breath on my face?
Did you have a dream?
You're talking nonsense.
You did it.
You came close to me and touched my face.
I didn't touch you.
I swear you were breathing right at my face.
Whatever.
No, I have to make this clear.
What about you? Why are you undressed?
I don't know. Did I take it off while sleeping?
Was it you by any chance?
Are you crazy? What are you saying?
-Did you request a morning call? -Do you think this is a hotel?
Have you been to hotels as well?
Didn't you hear someone knock earlier?
Who is that?
Maybe it's my coach.
Darn it. I'm kind of embarrassed.
Sorry, I kind of fell asleep.
Who is it?
Why are you...
In life, timing is always...
so terrible.
ONE HOUR BEFORE DOOR OPENS
Say I'll go back once I get the sketch.
Okay, thanks.
The person you have reached is not available.
Please leave a message after the tone.
30 MINUTES BEFORE DOOR OPENS
Why isn't she picking up?
Is she here already?
No, this won't work.
Look at this. My kids aren't from the Shaolin Temple.
There you go again.
Just use anything.
You're saying this because you're not breaking it.
There are certain boards for breaking demonstrations.
See how they break?
Yes, they can hit it with their hands just like yesterday.
That was with their knees. Try it yourself.
-They can do it. -Excuse me.
Yes, how may I help you?
I'm with a staff member.
Who?
The host.
The host, Choi Ae-ra is my daughter.
Oh, you're Ae-ra's dad?
-Hello. -Yes, hello.
15 MINUTES BEFORE DOOR OPENS
Why are there so many?
Where is he?
OOPS WE DID IT MOTEL
You raised you daughter so well. She's tough.
Tough?
She's a girl.
She's solid like a rock. A hard rock.
Ae-ra wouldn't even lose to Ronda Rousey.
Why would she fight her?
I'm more afraid of Ae-ra than any woman in the world.
Ever since her microphone psycho days--
Psycho what?
It's here.
-Let's go in. -It's here?
We did it? Of all the names...
We all stayed in the same motel, so I'm sure he got her a room here.
Who did?
I guess you didn't hear. Dong man did. Ko Dong-man.
Dong-man?
Ko Dong-man?
-Let's go up. -Okay.
Why did you come inside?
Why? Something going on in that room?
An affair?
Is it?
They are definitely the ones in rooms 408 and 410.
Gosh, why won't they pick up?
Did the kids run away from home?
What's the area code here?
It's 041.
Why?
Zero-four-one.
One-one-two is just 112 without an area code.
So, I was wondering
if I could get pictures of martial arts show and sketches here.
It would publicize the festival, so it's a win-win.
I guess that martial arts guy is pretty famous.
-Yes, kind of. -No wonder.
He stood out.
His kicks deserve better place than doing shows in countryside.
Right? He's good.
Above all, with his looks,
he'll be popular in no time.
Our program isn't about finding stars.
It's more about selling their stories.
She must've left already.
Why won't she answer the phone?
Then I'll go see Dong-man first.
What room is he in?
Let's see. I think it's that way.
Hey, Doo-ho.
Is Dong-man still sleeping?
Dong-man?
I don't know.
Why? Didn't he sleep with you in your room?
No, I thought he slept with you.
Where did this punk sleep...
No, no! I was wrong.
I was confused with the motel in the front. How stupid.
This isn't it. She isn't in there.
Sir, it's another motel.
Who is it?
Why are you...
Sir...
Mister, just a minute.
Dad, hold on.
-Excuse me, sir. -That's right, I have a performance.
Mister, I need to break some boards first.
That's right, we're late. You have to go now.
Dong-man, get in here.
Close the door and come in.
Sir, he has to be extra careful with injuries right now...
JULY 1, 1989 CHOI AE-RA
Get in here.
Go first.
No, raise it.
Yes, okay.
Let Ae-ra do both the first and second part.
She was great yesterday.
She'll be a star soon.
No, don't come here!
How did you...
Should we call the cops?
-What if Dong-man dies? -What?
It's not an O. It's an X,
100% X. It's not even a triangle.
Triangle?
-What's triangle! -Why are you doing this to me?
She hits me while I'm sleeping
and you show up behind the door.
Why are you two doing this to me?
So why did you sleep here?
You useless little punk.
How dare you!
Why am I a useless punk?
Why did you sleep here? What were you after?
Listen to me.
Even if she and I were alone on a deserted island, I'd consider her as a comrade.
Actually...
I'd consider and respect her as if she's an island native or a monkey.
I swear, I won't even look at her.
No, I'm just saying.
What's wrong with Ae-ra?
What?
Why are you calling her an island native?
So what are you doing all the way here?
-Sleeping in the same room is forbidden. -Pardon?
But why do you talk casually to me?
I'm older than you.
I see.
-Didn't we meet somewhere before? -No, we did not.
-Scoop. -Okay.
Why steak?
Steamed meats are jokbal and grilled meats are steak.
Meats are all the same.
She said she's goping to quit selling jokbal and open a restaurant.
Here you go.
Enjoy the food.
-Is it good? -Yes, Mom.
I should treat you to a nice restaurant one day.
One day? When?
-About meeting our family-- -Forget it.
Sorry?
There's no need to rush the marriage.
Living with in-laws...
She'll get married when it's time.
I almost forgot.
It was so funny, I still can't believe it.
What are you talking about?
Do you remember Kyu-sik from Jochiwon?
-Who? -You know who.
Honey, you know the only son of the man on the mountain, right?
-Who, Kyu-sik? -Yes.
There's now a paved road through that mountain.
Kyu-sik made about one billion won.
No, I think it was 1.5 billion won.
So what?
I met his aunt,
and she asked if you're still single.
I said you are and she said...
Kyu-sik has been waiting for you to grow up.
I found that hilarious.
It's not a funny story to share during a meal.
INTERN JANG YE-JIN
What's wrong with you?
Kyu-sik is way too old.
He was in the army when I was in kindergarten.
He's probably in his 50s by now.
Are you trying to marry me off to him?
You never know until you walk down the aisle.
You made Joo-man feel bad.
He's not your boss!
Don't mind him too much.
Live off of this.
Why are you giving me this?
Am I a trash can?
Here.
We have no cash.
We spent it all sending your brothers to college.
This is for you.
Where did you get this, Mom?
I took it from your dad's mom before she died.
I wanted to spend it on your wedding.
So take it.
My goodness, you're amazing.
Why are you giving this to me now?
Having something like this gives you guts.
Guts?
Stop being so timid. Do what you want to do.
If Joo-man upsets you, just dump him.
Sul-hee has three older brothers.
Yes, I know that.
Some families have many daughters because they tried for sons.
I ended up with three sons wanting to have a daughter.
The day she was born,
I screamed and ran around the hospital.
I heard. You screamed that it's a girl.
She beat her brother's names,
and now her name is on the storefront.
Our Sul-hee means a lot to you.
She's not yours yet.
Right.
Your family might think you're losing out,
but I think my daughter's too good for you.
Of course, she's way better than me.
Be good to her...
or I'll kill you.
Don't look down on her because she's kind.
Don't give your number to people you must ignore.
Sit here and watch.
I will appear from behind that wall there.
Then I'll come up here.
I bet you will. The host has to be in the center.
At the center, the forefront, in the middle.
I'll be smashing things up there.
Please don't tell my dad what I did.
If you do...
I'll tell him you beat me with a hanger.
I don't want to talk to you, you punk.
Don't tell my dad.
Why do I see nothing but my own face?
-Is this on video? -Let me see.
Let me take a look.
I said I'll take it for you.
Why would you film my daughter?
Dong-man.
Oh, hey.
What are you...
Oh! Aren't you Ae-ra?
-You startled me! -You startled me.
Mr. Han Doo-ho.
Is Byung-joo with the Tigers now?
Does our coach know?
When you sign the contract, be wise, just like Byung-joo.
Thanks for the offer, but--
Take your time before you give me an answer.
I'm hardly good enough for Tigers to want me.
And if I sign, Dong-man will be left alone.
What is your motive?
Why do you care about our intention?
What?
Don't you want to move to a house without mold?
Think about your role as a dad.
Your kid has allergies, scratching her skin until it bleeds.
You can't live life based on childishness and loyalty, can you?
One...
Hello.
Excuse me.
Are you hosting the event, Ae-ra?
While you smash boards?
Yes.
You should've called me.
We had no idea.
I guess you don't know. I'm a producer at KBC.
Public TV.
I produced shows like 1 Versus 20...
Happy Monday and How are you.
If you wanted to become an announcer, you should've told me.
-I could've asked my producer friends-- -Don't you dare...
mention me to anyone.
Sir, from right here,
you can zoom from this position, using two fingers.
You're doing fine.
That's too far in, pull back out.
-That's it. -Okay.
Were you surprised?
You haven't seen him in about five years.
I never wanted to see him again.
Why did you call him when I'm here?
I didn't call him.
Why did you agree to be on his show?
I didn't really agree.
Did you call him first?
-He called me. -Why?
He wanted to set me up on a blind date.
Jang Kyung-koo did?
-So, did you go? -What?
-Did you go to that blind date? -What?
You did go to that blind date.
What?
You're so simple minded.
Hey.
You better get things together.
Once a Jang Kyung-koo is always a Jang Kyung-koo.
MEXX CHICKEN WORLD
Sul-hee, shall we have Seoul chicken or American chicken?
Seoul.
We'll have another Seoul chicken.
Okay.
Mr. Park, congratulations on getting promoted.
Good for you, you got promoted and getting married, too.
I'm busy preparing things and thanking people.
How are the wedding preparations going?
It's all about money. Photos, dress and makeup...
soon-to-be married couples are like pushovers.
Where will you live, Gimpo?
Yes, our parents will lend us some money...
and we'll get a loan from a bank.
By the way, do you guys still secretly date at work?
Oh, not anymore.
Everyone knows about us now.
We will get married soon, too...
when Joo-man gets promoted.
You didn't have to say that.
Congratulations.
-Congratulations. -Thank you.
Gosh, ice creams cost 800 won these days.
Economy for the ordinary people is ruined.
You mean failed.
Anyway, Chan-ho shouldn't have done that.
What?
He dated someone for four years.
I was actually closer to her.
Now, he's marrying a young girl he only dated for four months.
What's wrong with that?
You're being so cranky today.
Is it because Chan-ho got promoted and you didn't?
Do you think I'm that shallow?
I don't want Ye-jin's aunt to promote you to a manager.
Why do you think it's from her aunt?
I could've done it with my performance.
Don't be upset.
I'm fine, even if you're an assistant manager forever.
I'm not okay with it.
Who would want to be an assistant manager for life?
If I do better, I can make you happier.
I'm already happy.
Look. We're happy eating ice cream together.
I want to enjoy small things with you like now,
-and love each other-- -Small things?
Small things.
Why does happiness always have to be small things?
What?
If we continue this way, when would we buy an apartment,
buy a car, get married...
get promoted and have babies?
Joo-man.
I'm sorry, but I'm not grateful for those little things anymore.
I want to meet my friends and brag about myself.
I wish I had something to be proud of.
Joo-man.
Why do I keep thinking that you've changed?
People can't be same all the time.
You can't live life like you're playing house.
I'm wearing the same dress as yesterday.
How do I look?
You look pretty.
Why do I have a huge pimple today?
Hey, act normal today. Don't try to stand out.
Don't dance.
By the way, would you really...
feel that way if you went to a deserted island with me?
-What? -Am I...
the same as natives or monkeys?
Why would you respect me so much?
Ae-ra.
Alcohol saved you yesterday.
What are you saying?
Why? Do you want to go to a deserted island with me?
You know...
we're not entirely just friends, right?
What?
Are we kind of seeing each other?
Hey.
Stop talking nonsense and go do your rehearsal.
I'll go watch.
Gosh.
IS THIS SOME OR WHAT?
You look great.
Testing microphone.
You're going to be here, right?
-I'm the host of this festival... -What's she doing?
Didn't you text her?
I thought you texted her.
What are you talking about?
Dad, it's just a rehearsal.
Don't worry about me and just focus.
Move.
What are you doing?
-Why are you... -I must be mean.
I don't like seeing you excited.
Let's start the rehearsal, Hye-ran.
Okay.
Hello, citizens of Daecheon.
Oh dear, isn't she Park Hye-ran?
Wow, isn't that Park Hye-ran?
Where are you going? Aren't you getting started soon?
Let's go.
-It's going to start soon. -Let's just go.
What?
Let's just go.
I'm here to volunteer to support this wonderful festival today.
I'm announcer, Park Hye-ran.
Take it.
I'll take it.
Okay.
I didn't come here to see you on stage.
I came here to give you these.
Just go.
Shouldn't we eat together?
I haven't seen you for two months.
-Let's have dinner together. -I'm not hungry.
I want you to leave now.
Okay.
I'll leave.
Once you get home, put the side dishes in the fridge.
What are you doing? Why are you giving me money?
Because I want to.
I'm not a child. I'm old enough to support myself.
Why are you making me feel ashamed of myself?
I can't even give 30,000 won to my daughter?
But why would you give it to me now?
Why now!
Why would you come and see me all embarrassed like this?
There's nothing to be embarrassed of in front of your dad.
I'm totally fine.
You should leave.
I'm going to tear up if I keep looking at you, so please leave.
Ae-ra.
In life...
each person has their own field of play.
Are you telling me give up on my dream?
Does it make sense if a professional gambler plays card with grannies?
Park Ji-sung shouldn't be playing in recreational soccer.
You're a professional.
I'm not satisfied with a stage that small.
Are you satisfied?
You were acting all grown up.
You're not there yet.
Go.
I'm leaving.
That little brat.
Come next time when I call you.
What?
Next time...
I'll be on a grand stage.
So come when I call you then.
Okay.
Call me then.
Even if you're in North Korea...
I'll cross the 38th parallel to see you.
I'll get going.
You should go, too.
I don't want you to see me cry anymore.
I'm going back to Seoul.
By yourself?
Let's go together tonight.
Forget it.
I'll go by myself.
I'm going to sleep here.
I'm lying on the bench.
-Can I go out for a little bit? -Where?
The guys want me to come out since I left early.
-Should I come, too? -What?
No, it's just the guys.
Don't you think it's too late though?
I'll come right back.
Just eat with me and go for a walk.
It's too hot for a walk.
Why are you going out if it's too hot?
What?
Just don't go.
I want to fight you sometime.
You're my only sparring partner.
I think...
you're actually really strong.
Coach.
Are we supposed to be a circus?
We don't have energy. We didn't even eat.
More boards?
-Why are they so hard to break? -Are they hard to break?
What did you say?
-Gosh. -Why are they so hard?
This festival has so many problems.
This is so disorganized.
How can you drink without knowing your skirt ripped?
Wouldn't you drink if you were me?
What's wrong with you, Ye-jin? Why aren't you coming to work?
I know this is wrong,
but I still like you.
Why do you like me?
You're too good to me.
I just like you more and more! I want you to pay attention to me!
I just like you more and more. I want you to pay attention to me!
I just like you so much.
I feel like I'm going to die.
I like you.
Stop crying.
Are you going back to Seoul?
-Yes. -Get in, I'll give you a ride.
Why?
What do you mean, "Why"? I'm going there anyway.
How do you want me to do this without a script?
Most events outside of Seoul has many variables.
You know...
-you can do it impromptu-- -This festival is so disorganized.
At least get the blue print.
Who can do this without a script?
Well, one person can.
-Sorry? -Nothing.
We'll try to get the blue print ready.
Did Ae-ra leave already?
Don't go. Wait for me.
I want to go with you.
Oh right, how was Chan-sook's wedding?
I didn't get invited, so I couldn't go.
Why would she invite you?
That's true.
Hey.
How did you know I went to her wedding?
Sorry?
How did you know about the festival?
-That? Dong-man told me-- -I know he didn't tell you.
He didn't tell me directly, but I heard him say something like it.
Are you stalking my social media page?
No, I don't even know your account.
RECENT SEARCH
12 Maebong Road, Oksu.
That's Namil Villa.
Because of you...
I still get goosebumps whenever I see pungmul band perform.
Goosebumps?
I'll make it short. Stop the program you're planning.
Don't ever show up in front of me or Dong-man.
Ae-ra, I'm not who I was before.
I wouldn't trust you even if you reformed as a total different person.
Open the door.
-Ae-ra. -Open the door.
I'm not the old Jang Kyung-koo.
I'm not a pushover anymore.
Am I a joke to you?
You must be the one who thinks I'm a joke.
I bet you had fun watching me.
It wasn't funny at all.
I was so upset and it drove me mad.
I was scared.
What?
I hated the fact that someone like you likes Joo-man.
I was afraid.
Please stop doing this to Joo-man.
Don't come see him at night, text him or call him.
Also, please unfriend him on social media.
I...
don't want to do that either.
Your relationship with him is dissolving anyway.
If Mr. Kim is torn, then I don't want to stop.
If you're at that stage of drifting apart...
I'll just...
continue to sway him.
SUL-HEE, DID YOU GO DOWN?
Why did you help her put on a safety pin?
That's mine.
Then that becomes a double discount.
Pardon? What was that?
It comes out to 12,000 won.
-Really? -What?
Just a minute.
Let me help you with that.
Points from your card including the discount...
it comes out to 9,800 won.
I had points?
Yes, should I apply them?
He's so smart.
Do you need a validation?
I recommended you because you're Dong-man's friend...
and put you at the ticket counter.
But you keep causing trouble.
Last time, you sold a ticket for 700 won.
I'm sorry that I keep causing trouble.
Can I just be a janitor?
Do you know how tiring that is?
I prefer to feel at ease than being physically uncomfortable.
Why are you like that?
Here.
A woman having the shirt open is like a guy having his fly open.
Why are you so absentminded, clueless and clumsy?
You're bothering me.
Maybe I should just quit.
You'll be different elsewhere?
Just stay where I can see you.
You're only a year older. Let's just be friends, okay?
-Okay, sure. -Cheers!
Let's start drinking.
Drink!
Koong Koong Da.
-Gamjatang. -Tangsuyuk.
-Yukgaejang. -Jangookji.
Drink!
Drink it up. Drink!
-Manager Kim, could you... -Manager, she spoke English.
-She spoke English. -I can't drink much, I need to stop.
Since she's my friend's friend, I'll drink for her.
You're a real man!
You have to grant him a wish!
I'm too drunk, I need to use the restroom.
Sit down.
I'm going to call home.
Hey, Park Sul-hee.
-I'm Baek Sul-hee. -Okay, Baek Sul-hee.
You're really pretty.
What?
I'm still older than you.
Today is Kiss Day.
I want to be with you tonight.
You little jerk!
I told you not to do that!
I told you she's my friend's friend, you jerk!
My dad told me to sterilize wounds with soju.
Should I go get one?
What's wrong with you?
What did I do wrong this time?
You're the one who fought. Why are you yelling at me?
Why did you throw a kick at someone you can't even beat up?
-Why did you flirt? -What?
You're wearing a short skirt to get attention, right?
And smile all cute to guys.
Are you trying to seduce guys?
Are you trying to drive me nuts?
It's because I like you!
I wanted you to look at me.
-That's why I wore this skirt and smiled. -What?
Because I like you more and more, I wanted to get attention from you!
Darn it, why must I say this?
You're so annoying.
You're so darn pretty.
What are you afraid of to do such a thing?
-Am I not being myself? -You're being exactly like yourself.
It's so obvious that you're afraid of something.
Smiling like that isn't cool at all.
If you're upset, just yell and cry.
If you're happy, just say it.
If you want something, just be honest to yourself.
That makes it less pathetic.
Like Ae-ra?
You know, you're more pathetic than her.
Then why didn't you date her?
What?
You weren't totally sure about it.
That means it isn't right.
We've shared 20 years together.
-What do you know about us? -After 20 years...
even furniture in your house grows on you.
What?
Don't confuse being comfortable as liking her.
If she wasn't for 20 years, it won't be her ever.
Do you think I want to act crazy myself?
I need you. That's why I'm acting crazy.
You said I was your first love.
Sure, Hye-ran.
You were my first love.
But I was only 20 years old then, so I let myself get hurt...
and acted like a fool.
But, that's all in the past.
What?
My first love has ended and now...
I only see Ae-ra.
Is it Ae-ra again?
You think I was a terrible girl to you, right?
But you were cruel to me, too.
I was always nervous because of Ae-ra. That's why I...
I won't lose you to her.
I've seen this scene countless times.
She seems like a manipulating witch.
Maybe we should send Dong-man to the army.
Since it's Dong-man and Hye-ran's 100th day together, they should...
kiss!
Kiss!
Dong-man kissed a girl.
You probably didn't get any chocolate since Hye-ran dumped you.
In life, timing is always so terrible.
And I always ran away.
What are you doing!
If it hasn't worked out for 20 years, it never will!
I won't let you go again.
Let's stop making detours.
Stand strong.
We've already kissed...
and I don't know anything about some or whatever.
If we kissed, it's day one.
Let's date.
I said let's date.
Since we're dating...
I want to do it again.
What?
I want to do it again.
Darn it, why isn't it working?
Relax, take it easy. Don't be nervous.
But it's you, right?
Hwang Bok...
Ganako Hwang.
I go by Ganako Hwang now.
How long do you plan to stay in Namil Villa?
I'm going to live there forever.
