One, two, three, four!
Hey! Surely you're not planning to go meet a woman looking like that, are you?
My Oppa said he'd come to get me.
Again, this time it wasn't dating either.
My name is Ho Goo. Kang Ho Goo.
What kind of name is that?
Lane three is Do Do Hee from Korea.
Shouldn't dating be different than that?
Amongst the countless people, recognizing each other at once.
If you want the 'green light' from a woman, only know one thing:
Don't do any of what you're planning to do.
If you want to do something, then just spend a lot of money, no matter what.
Wanting to see the sea
is a green light to women.
I'm envious of you, Kang Ho Goo!
To know if you will really be envious, you have to wait until morning.
Return it to me on Christmas Day.
Okay.
Several months have passed.
Oh, please sit here.
Why did she say to meet on Christmas Day?
Elise
It's been a long time! Where are you going?
Yeah.
I'm going home.
What are you doing? The seat's empty.
I couldn't turn my head.
In case what I saw was true. That it might be real.
Because I couldn't believe it. Because I didn't want to believe it.
Believe in Jesus. Go to heaven.
I couldn't look at Do Hee.
Believe in Jesus. Go to heaven.
Believe in Jesus and be saved.
From what I knew, hemorrhoids didn't cause a stomach to bloat.
If so, then... then that is definitely...
Have you been well?
You must be returning from somewhere far.
Do Hee, you've been well, too, haven't you?
Do Hee, you must also be returning from somewhere.
I'm returning from the hospital.
Ah, that...
Because of my baby.
I see.
She said, "baby."
She said that what was inside her belly, was a baby.
But a baby is formed when a man and a woman are in love.
And pregnancy has to occur only when a man and a woman get married.
If that's the case, then Do Hee...
I'm getting off. I'll be going.
If so, then during those six months, I, who was waiting for Do Hee...
I am...
Moron. Idiot.
You fool!
Do Do Hee!
Let go of me!
Hey, this is unfair to me!
This is so unfair!
I'm being wrongly accused!
Be quiet! Are you bragging about committing a crime?
This Ahjussi, really.
Your an Ahjussi, policeman. I'm not an Ahjussi!
Ahjussi, please.
Please let him go.- Ho Goo!
Don't come in, don't come in, Mister!
My name is Ho Goo. Kang Ho Goo.
Don't arrest him! Oh, really!
[Episode 3:]
[Let's Put the Squid Back in its Place]
Dad, come here!
Ho Goo is over there.
Ho Goo.-Oppa!
Are you all right?
Are you all right, Ho Goo?
Yes, this is your dad! What is going on, Ho Goo?!
Are you his guardian?
Yes, I'm his guardian.
Did you hear?
Yes, I heard.
Is the victim in serious condition?
Of course, he's serious! One family is about to lose its income.
I've been working in this neighborhood for 10 years now.
This is the first time I've seen someone drink and behave in this manner.
Look here! But seriously, why did you do it?
Yeah, Oppa! Why did you do it?
Hey, why did you do it?
Why did you do that?
6 months earlier
Ho Goo!
You're here?
Yeah, but what are you hiding?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Is that so?
If that's the case, then you'll know what you have to do when I get back from the bathroom.
Because we have a lot of time.
(Chung Jae farts on Ho Goo)Ewww.
I don't know what you're saying.
I don't know...
Ho Goo, what is this?
Why is Do Do Hee wearing your clothes?
You, by chance, did you...
Chung Jae!
So, when you said that "some" that you did,
that you made plans to meet on Christmas, that kiss,
that girl was Do Do Hee?
I wasn't trying to hide it.
After you all left, Do Hee had come after that.
So we went to the Han River and talked, and got thirsty and had some juice.
Suddenly, she said she wanted to see the ocean.
So it just happened. Together...
we ended up going to Yeosu.
Eat a variety of vegetables.
How could you hide this from me?
I'm sorry.- I always tell you everything.
Tae Hee...
How could you... hide that?
That your first kiss was with Do Do Hee.
I don't know if you can remember, but I dedicated my teenage years to you.
It seems like you don't know, but our school has rules.
I wish you would try to observe them.
Do you understand me? Say it again.
Say it again.
What are you looking at?
I said to say it again, Transfer Student.
So you're saying you can't deliver us the pastries?
Only to classroom 135, or
or to Classroom 246. One or the other is possible...
I said that I feel like eating different pastries during each break.
There are times when I want bean-filled pastries, and times when I crave custard-filled bread.
And sometimes I want round ones. But what?
You only want to do it after the first or second class?
Please don't hit my face!
Hey!
What is it?
Why do you do such dirty things?
Must you do such dirty things just to eat some bread?
Better go away.
You just go to Classroom 135.
Why do you decide?
Instead! 246!
I'll go to that classroom.
Hold this.
Why? What?
♫ Dreams sleep in the sky ♫[Song: "To My Friend" by Hong Kyung Min]
♫ Memories fly away with the clouds ♫
♫ My friend, where have you gone? ♫
Ho Goo is your name?
Yeah.
Who named you?
My dad.
Oh.
♫ Whenever I think of the past ♫
"Ho" for hero. "Goo" for truth.
It means I am a "true hero."
Ah...
♫ My friend, could I meet you in my dreams? ♫
You know, my name is...
I know. It's Kim Tae Hee.
♫ Sadness, happiness, too. ♫
♫ Loneliness, we went through it all together. ♫
♫ We embraced our dreams, and the promise for tomorrow. ♫
♫ Where did our promises go? ♫
♫ Dreams sleep in the sky ♫
Tae Hee! Kim Tae Hee!
Your walking has really sped up.
A man who works out is truly is different.
And from behind, your butt looks amazing.
You look like Chu Sa Rang.
I told you his name is Chu Sung Hoon!
Right?
Chu Sung Hoon. Chu Sung Hoon.
Was it good?
Was it good meeting up with Do Do Hee?
The fact that you kept a secret despite our friendship.
It will be hard to forgive you; however,
I'm so proud of you, Kang Ho Goo.
Huh?
Now you're on the same level as that jerk.
Byun Kang Chul.

Four, three, two, one! Begin!
♫ Polar Bear, Polar Bear, I like your fluffy white fur ♫
♫ Polar Bear, Polar Bear, I like your round black eyes ♫
♫ I like your round black eyes ♫
Good job. Please look this way.
You've done well. Please look here.
Now, with your medals!
Ah, that's good.
Now pose, pose, pose! That's good!
Now.
Your medals! That's good.
Good.
That's good.
Good.
Now pose. Pose!
Hello, should I take it for you?
No, it's okay.
Please give it to me, I'll take it for you.
No. The photo I want is not conventional, like yours.
Ah, I see.
54 people.
Could you put one more stone on here?
Hey, stop using your phone. You'll ruin your nails.
If I don't keep raising his view count, Crazy Byun throws a fit.
Never mind that. Ho Kyung,
Are there any guys around you that I can meet?
Yes. I have many guys around me.
What are you looking for?-A good guy.
Is that all?
Speaking of, how about your older brother?
You said your brother didn't have a girlfriend.-You can't.
Why not? You said your brother was really kind and gentle.
That's why you can't. You can't.
My brother has to meet someone who is kinder than himself.
As it is, it's irritating me that he's been caught by a cunning fox lately.
What kind of hemorrhoid surgery takes so long?
Isn't it too late to return next month?
What if I can't return next month either?
That won't do! How many ads have already been scheduled?
Hey, you're an athlete!
Can an athlete take that long a break?
Never mind, just come back next month no matter what.
Coach, give me some money.
All right. Don't be cheap and eat whatever you like.
And don't eat too much! It all turns to fat.
To my account. About $10,000?
What? $10,000, where do I have that?
In your account in Ho Chi Minh.
What are you talking about?
I don't have that kind of money.
I don't think I got even half of my money for the commercial shoot last time.
I know I entrusted you with everything, but 7:3 ratio is a bit too much, isn't it?
What do you take me for?
I was planning to give it to you through internet banking.
But the wifi doesn't work here, that's why.
And what kind of hemorrhoid surgery costs $10,000?
Deposit it, please.
I need the money.
How much is she planning to buy and eat?
Look at that gut!
Sit here.
No, it's okay.
It's all right.
Pregnant women can sit here, too.
Hmm?
I'm not. But I'm not, grandmother.
I'm not. I'm really not.
Looking at you,
this is the most difficult stage.
Is it obvious?
Do you crave a lot? You don't have morning sickness?
I don't have morning sickness.
But...
I eat too much.
If I don't eat, I feel nauseous inside.
So I keep eating, too much at that.
That's morning sickness where you eat.
There's even that kind of morning sickness?
Why do I have to have the kind to gain weight?
Baby must want its mother to gain weight.
When are you due?
In December.
You only have a few months left.
Your stomach will get really big soon.
Probably so, right grandmother?
This station is November. November Station.
Is it a boy or a girl?
I'll find out when it's born next month.
Eat one of these.
Thank you.
This station is December. December Station.
Ho Goo, why do you look like that?
Dad.
Why isn't Christmas coming yet?
Christmas...
You, by any chance...
I'm hungry. - What's wrong?
My battery died!
I have to charge it.
Hey.
Honey! Yes?
Our Ho Goo is... No, he's not complaining about side dishes.
No, he isn't asking for money either.
Our Ho Goo...
I think he still believes in Santa.
Santa?
Why would he believe that? How old is he?
Yeah.
At Christmas...
Yeah.
He's waiting for someone?
I guess it didn't work out with that girl.
No, no. Several months ago when he stayed out overnight and was "some" with a girl.
Wraps? [Sahm=wraps]
No, not wraps, but "some."
S O M E... "some"
Some? Some. What is that?
"Some" is shortened from "something."
In this modern society, time is valuable, and we must pick the best partner in the shortest amount of time.
So before dating, we ask, "Is this person worth my
precious time and money?"
So this time we take to answer this question is expressed as "riding 'some.'"
In conclusion, "some" is a new type of social skill.
Yes?
On page 27, it says that you have to ride a lot of "some" in order to properly date.
That is what you suggested.- I did.
This appears to be subjective, with no scientific evidence.
I knew that, so I've prepared something.
I have done an experiment with mice.
In the case of Mouse #1...
After not feeding it at all for three days, it grew so weak that it became too weak to eat.
In the case of Mouse #2, I fed it continuously, and it became lethargic
and it lost the will to reach for the food.
Then, what do you think the Mouse #3 did?
I gave and took the food from it repeatedly, and Mouse #3 was the one that survived.
As a result, those who "ride 'some'" repeatedly becomes very skilled in dating
and relationships. This is the principle.
How about it? Are you beginning to understand "some," now?
"Some" or whatever.
How is this different from searching for lust with sex partners?
Perhaps, you have never tasted the food that is "some,"
like Mouse #1, and that is why you cannot understand this concept?
What a surprising experiment.
If we were to substitute people for the test mice,
we can expect some good results.
How it won't be easy to find test subjects.
Don't worry about that, Professor.
I have subjects at the ready.
Hello, my friends.
Here you are again, talking about girls and dating.
Ho Gyeong, you're here? You know, your friends[Mouse #3]
Lee Soo Kyung, Song Ji Hee, Yoon Nam Joon, why can't I get in touch with them all?
They went on a school trip together.
To where?- Far away, to Oh-Ji.
Only horses and cows there. And at 9 PM, the electricity gets cut off.
So you won't be able to get in touch with them.
So don't be waiting.- I'm not waiting.
Why are you only introducing girls to Chung Jae?[Mouse #1]
You don't let me meet one, but he gets three.
You're doing it again.[Brother, you are, after all...]
[Mouse #2]
You experimented with my friends again, huh?
Tae Hee Oppa, next experiment... I mean, next time, I will introduce you to a girl.
[Help the Children: Mr. Kang Ho Goo, you are in default of $30 of donations for foreign children.]
What is it?
Are you still waiting to hear from that "some?"
Hey, what do you mean still? He's just starting now.
Yeah, she said she can't contact him because of some situation.
Ho Gyeong, you shouldn't mock me like that.
Yeah.
Yeah, they've even kissed.
Yeah, he said they planned to meet at Christmas.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey! Kang Ho Gyeong!
You can't even smoke.
Leave me alone.
Okay.
I was wrong.
Oppa.
What?! What?!
What do you want me to do? A girl who hasn't contacted you in 6 months
and you're still waiting for her. Your heart is so... sweet, and
so beautiful.
What? Do you want me to say that?
Ho Gyeong, for me, talking and texting everyday,
I don't think that necessarily confirms each other's feelings.
Even if we don't talk, just feeling that there was some kind of trust.
A trust you feel without talking to them.
A trust you feel without speaking.
What is she?
What? Are you talking about drinking and kissing?
Kang Ho Goo, this isn't coming from a sister who is 3 seconds younger than you.
But a fellow twin who lives in the same generation as you.
Listen well.
You know the other day after a school function, I came home after drinking a lot.
And I kissed a guy.
What? Who is he?
See, I don't remember who the guy was.
Hey, Kang Ho Gyeong. You, seriously!
But do you know what the funny thing is?
After that day, there wasn't any response from that guy either.
There are five guys in my department.
But out of those, I can't figure out who it is.
Because he isn't showing it.
Do you get it now?
The time where such physical actions must have meaning is in the past.
A kiss is just a kiss. Just an instinctive action. A greeting after you have drinks.
Kang Ho Goo, please, let's live in the 21st century.
Do Do Hee
The phone has been turned off. After the beep...
[National Swimming Federation]
Ah, yes. Hello, I am Kang Ho Goo.
Hey, Ho Goo...
What kind of name is that?
Anyway, Kang Ho Goo. Did you have "some" with Do Hee?
Huh?- You shouldn't be mistaken that you had "some" with Do Hee.
Understand?
Do Hee isn't someone who can have "some" with you.
She's a national treasure.
Don't you know she's an important person?
And so many men will be dashing towards her.
Do you think you could handle that?
Huh?
And the way I see it,
that girl and you aren't in the same class.
Class?
She gives you just enough hope, and then disappears?
This is not just average skill.
She's not even the same species as you.
What are you talking about? We're both mammals.
No, only she is a mammal.
Then what about me?
Oppa, you are
a squid.
Squid?
Yes, is the squid, okay?
It's fine. The taurine is very good for pregnant women.
It's important for fetal development, too.
But do you crave squid?
What kind?
Just... like squid soondae (sausage).
But why isn't the baby coming out, doctor?
I know. Is this rascal not ready yet?
But the baby isn't too big yet,
so let's just wait until this week.
Yes.
Thank you.
Things that don't overwork you, light hiking or yoga,
or things like swimming are okay.
I really can't swim though.
Ah...
Then, well, just do some walking.
Yes.
Oh yeah. I know a place that has good squid soondae [sausage].
Yes, work hard.
Where is it? The squid soondae place?
Please sit here.
I'm fine though.
Please sit.
Thank you.
It's been a long time.
You dummy, you loser.
You fool!
Where is she?
Do Do Hee!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Ho Goo, are you okay?
What is it? What happened?
Tae Hee.
Did Young Bae beat you up for not paying your insurance premiums?
Or did a robber hit you?
I think I saw Do Do Hee.
What? Do Do Hee?
Kang Ho Goo.
Huh?
If you're not busy by chance,
[North Korean-style Soondae]
If you weren't busy, what-what did she ask you?
She wanted to eat squid soondae with me.
What?
You're not going to eat any squid soondae?
After six months,
after appearing before you pregnant, the thing she said was,
"You're not eating any squid soondae?"
"You're not eating?"
So what did you say?
I asked if you weren't going to eat any squid soondae?
How did I live the past six months because of you?!
I couldn't eat, I couldn't draw comics,
and whenever I heard a text come in, I'd run like Pavlov's dog!
I still hear the tinkling in my ears!
But, after not hearing from you for so long, suddenly you appear and what?
"You're not eating?"
"Aren't you eating?!"
If it were you, would you be able to eat squid soondae?!
Why don't you shove your face with the squid soondae.
You eat it! You eat it!!
And why of all things to eat is it squid? Why?! Why?! WHY?!!
Aren't you going to eat the squid soondae?
Huh?
I'm eating.
That...
How many months are you?
I'm just about due.
When did you get married?
A little while ago. It was a bit rushed.
Ah, really?
But getting married...
can it normally be done like that?
With the baby, too.
Does it just happen that easily?
It must have been fate.
That, well, like that, somehow can happen easily.
They say things like that are fate.
To a woman who called all this fate,
was there anything more I could say?
Why wasn't that fate me?
Why didn't she tell me beforehand?
Getting mad and yelling over it,
would it change anything?
I ate well.
I'll pay.
As a congratulatory wedding present.
How much is it?-$14
But still, even up until the last moment,
I didn't want to show [turn] my back to her.
You go first. I'm going to get some squid soondae wrapped to go.
I think my mom would like it.
Okay.
Thanks
for the soondae.
It's nothing.
Then...
Oh, okay. Go safely.
The image of Do Hee, turning and walking away from me,
I felt like I had to see it with my very own two eyes.
So that I can forget about her quickly.
That bad girl. A brat who doesn't know anything about "some."
Hey, it's for the best. Honestly, when I found out that your "some" girl
was Do Do Hee, I kept feeling nervous. All along.
She takes pictures with celebrities. And works with famous world-renown athletes.
That kind of person. If she suddenly saw kids like us,
wouldn't we look like squid?
Ho Goo, I don't know if you want to hear this, but
squids, aren't they happy when they are with other squids?
If they try to play with tilefish or sawedged perch,
eventually, the thing that gets hurt...
Eventually, the thing that gets hurt
is the squid.
I'm okay, Tae Hee.
I'm just thinking that I dreamt an amazing dream.
I'm back again in this tiny aquarium.
And everyday I will just eat the cheapest squid sashimi,
but I have an amazing friend like you next to me.
You're my friend. But you are also an amazing guy.
I am really moved and impressed at your maturity. I love you.
Me too.
Ho Goo, on Christmas let's go to a club.
Let's go to a club and dance like this with girls,
and then we'll go to a bowling alley with them.
When we go to a bowling alley, we'll hold those heavy balls and throw them.
We'll throw the heaviest balls and impress the girls.
Chung Jae! Tae Hee! On my blanket,
there are squid! And fresh squid at that!
Chung Jae! Tae Hee! On my blanket,
there are squid! Fresh squid at that!
Of course, there must be, because you brought them here.
What?
Hey, Kang Ho Goo. Do you not remember anything from yesterday?
Ho Goo, is completely drunk.
Chung Jae, I think you and I'll have to cary him.
Come safely.
Auntie, is the bathroom empty? -Yeah, there's nobody there. Hurry and go.
Oh, then I should go quickly.
Why are you guys here?
What? You want to come out? Okay, I'll bring you guys out.
Let's come out. Let's come out. Let's come out.
Let's come out.
Aigoo, young man! What are you doing right now?
Hold on. It's all right.
What should we do? They're so pitiful.
Ho Goo, hurry up and put the squid back in.
I can't put them back in that aquarium. I feel bad for them.
Hey, Kang Ho Goo! Come to your senses.
Put them in.
I'm about to go crazy!
I've never seen someone like you in twenty years! How gross!
Oh, Auntie. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!
Let's go! Friends, let's go to your hometown.
Let's go to the ocean.
♫ One two three four! ♫
You were very cold, right?
Oh my, Oh my.
The squid! -What are you doing? Quickly, report this to Animal Farm!
Think how frustrated they are in there!
Come on, guys.
Chung Jae, help me!
Hey, you crazy punk! Let's go!
Hey, let go of me!
He's not a bad person! I said he's not...
Ho Goo! You can't!
I just wanted to give them freedom!
With my hands, I wanted to give them freedom![Restaurant's Name: Squid Youth]
It's so unfair!
So I...
I brought them here?
To release them into the sea?
Then I wrapped them with a blanket in case they got cold?
Yeah, yeah! You did all that!
Do you know how much trouble we went through yesterday because of you?
I thought I was going to become squid ink pasta.
Ho Goo, we can't live in this neighbourhood anymore. Pack your things.
It would have been better if you got drunk, vomited, and sang loudly.
You acted like you were so cool. Maturity? Maturity, my ass.
You're ignorant! You loser! You're such a child!
You're an idiot!
Did someone get on an squid boat yesterday?
Ho Goo bought squid cheaply from someone he knows.
Is that so?
You did well, my son!
He did well, he did extremely well. Kang Ho Goo.
Kang Ho Gyeong, is your older brother younger than you?
You did extremely well, Older Brother. (Formal)
Well.
By the way, what are you guys doing on Christmas tomorrow?
Mom and Dad are thinking of going out to eat sashimi and going on a vacation for 4 days and 3 nights.
I'm going to hang out with my friends.
Wait, you're going to close the shop for four days?
Daughter, when did you become so intellectual?
I'll look after the shop.
What are you talking about?
On Christmas, you need to go out and play!
Do you want to go to Donghae Beach with us?
No, I don't want to go anywhere that day.
I'll look after the shop.
Have fun on your holiday.
Give me more.
Hey, how do you drink this?
My bag is a bit heavy,
so you keep this and return it to me later.
You know,
I have no thought
of being in a relationship with you.
Me too.
I also have no thought of being in a relationship with you.
Do Hee.
Did you fight with your "some" girl?
No.
Then, were you rejected?
No. Just, I think I misunderstood.
She was a friend but I think I overreacted.
I'm okay now, it's all over.
I'm sorry for showing you my drunk self, Dad.
Did you ask her if you had misunderstood?
How can you ask things like that? It's embarrassing.
A man is most embarrassed when he can't be truthful to your heart.
So you can have dignity in your heart, and no regrets.
Has there been a time when you asked that person that?
Here.
What is it?
Buy yourself another bag. It smells of squid.
No, it's okay. I have money.
Also, my bag doesn't smell at all. See?
So it's okay. I'll just accept your heart.
That kid, he's lying.
It smells an awful lot.
[December 25th. Christmas.]
[Elise's Flame, Volume 3]
So you keep this then return it to me later.
It's going to take a while for me to return the comic book so on Christmas day,
give it back to me then.
I thought I was going to get caught.
Just come out quickly.
How many days has it been?
Ahjumma!
Yes?
I need to get off work.
Ah, I'll lock up and leave like last time.
No, no you can't.
You can't keep doing that, seriously.
I've been doing that for ages so why not now?
I will lock up well and leave after cleaning up the floor as well.
Seriously, I really can't.
Okay, clean the floor well, Ahjumma.
Yes.
How fast can you swim, you jerk?
Just wait until I have this baby. I will swim so fast I will give you a heart attack.
Let's just endure it.
Just endure it.
Let's do it again.
Ahjumma.
You returned the comic book.
Yeah, I did it while I was passing by.
I was in the store.
You should have come in to return it.
I was in a bit of a rush.
I needed to give this back. I promised to give it to you today.
By the way,
Do Do Hee, let me ask you one thing.
You and I. Us.
What were we?
We were friends. And we're friends now.
Friends.
Friends...
But then,
do friends go to see the sea at night together.
Do just friends, hold hands and run.
Do friends just...
give each other things like this?
Also, if I am your friend, then you should have invited me to your wedding.
Yeah, you and I had "some."
So what? Do you feel like it's unfair?
Unfair?
I told you clearly
that I have no thoughts of dating you and you agreed.
At that time, I didn't mean it like that.
Hey, things can overturn while having "some."
Why are you over-reacting when we have done nothing together?
You and me going to the sea and spending the night there.
Or drinking then having some skinship?
So what? Is that something great?
Hey, you bad bitch!
What have we done together?
That things overturned while we were having "some?"
For me!
For me,
I didn't do those things with you, because of that.
Even though you disappeared for 6 months without even contacting me once.
Even though you got married without saying anything.
Even though you show up in front of me looking like this.
I never hated you once.
But...
seeing you today,
you are a really bad bitch.
And you,
did you pee because you were surprised by me?
No, my water broke.
Your water broke? What's that?
My name is Ho Goo.
Are you okay, Do Hee?
