Cutie Pie
This smells so good, Doc.
Episode 24
They say this is made out of animal excrement, you know.
- Oh, hello! - Ah yes, hello.
You must be on your coffee break.
- You’re getting in early, Joon’s father. - Ah yes.
There was no work for me to do.
I see that you’re not busy either, Yu Na’s Mother.
Yes well, it seems we’re having a drought of patients.
Then rest up.
That’s what we’re going to do.
- You should go up and lie down. - Ah yes.
What’s this? What’s with the cold front?
Something’s going on with the two of them, right?
Something did happen, yes, although it’s over now.
- Joon, here, eat this too. - Thanks.
There’s no one who thinks of this old gramps more than you, Yu Na.
Joon, it’s really nice eating sweet potatoes here, isn’t it?
Yeah, I’m so happy.
I’m happy too.
I have my beloved granddaughter,
the sunlight is warm.
Aigoo, I’m starting to wonder if there’ll be another spring day like this one in my life.
Aigoo!
I was wondering where the sweet potatoes went…
Aigoo, you used your granddaughter to squirrel them away!
No I didn’t! Yu Na brought some to give to me!
I don’t know if yours are words or foals, octopi or fish.* [*wordplay]
Aigoo.
Joon’s Dad!
Um… I have something to say to you.
Please do.
Well you see… I don’t want to do it here.
Let’s go in.
Ahem, well you see…
I thought about it…
What do you think about leaving this house?
W- what?
It’s awkward if you two keep running into each other, and I’m not comfortable with it.
Wouldn’t it be better for the both of you if you didn’t see each other?
Now that you say it, you have a point.
You can put the rooftop out for rent again.
I’ll move out.
Ah… How tiring. So, so tiring.
Oh my, there we go. I’m hungry, I’m hungry!
Why is the door…?
Hey, hey!
What do you think you’re doing?
I didn’t get to eat lunch. I’ll eat quickly and clean up.
Don’t you know how much I hate it when food stinks up the room?
Go out and eat.
Hurry!
Aish.
How rude…
Oh, oh! Oh…
Hey!
You, this…
Hey! You’d better get your act together!
Do you know how much this camera is worth?!
Professor.
Isn’t this too much?
Isn't a person more important than a mere object?
Person?
Hey. To me, you’re not a person,
but a 'shell' who’s 10 million won in debt to me.
What?
If you’ve realized the meaning of what I just said, hurry and clean that up.
It’s stinking up the room.
Aish.
Aigoo…
If your family moves, Joon, where will I have a place to rest my butt?
I don’t want to move either.
This isn’t fair.
How can they do this all of a sudden?
Aigoo.
- Here, here. - Here?
Here it is, come, come.
Come. Here, here, yes.
You guys… If you use this place alone…
For a single… Anyway, it’s a very good place, very good.
Smells.
- Huh? - Smell.
Ah, is it the smell of chunggookjang*? [*fermented soybean paste]
I…
This is… You see, this is… If you get the air flowing like this,
it gets better, it’s okay! Huh?
Bad smell… sorry.
No.
Wait, this… Oh, wait… Aigoo, h- Young man! Hello?
Hey!
She’s sure having a hard time with the English.
I guess it really does smell here.
Maybe it does. Well, all chunggookjang smells like this.
Anyway, this is good news for us.
Yes it is!
Hold on. Hey!
If the three of us put our heads together wisely,
isn’t it possible we might not have to leave this rooftop?
Unni!
Please give me 10 million won…
- I can’t work with that jerk anymore. - Why do you keep asking me?
Where would I have 10 million won?
Why? Why? Why? What’s this about?
Ah, stay out of this!
Unni… Please help me… hmm?
Where would I have that kind of money?
Just running the hospital alone has got me strapped.
What, what? What is it?
Ah, stay out of it!
Then what should I do?
All he talks about is the 10 million won and he threatens me.
He just views me as a shell and doesn’t treat me like a person.
I seriously can’t take it anymore.
What?! He threatens you?!
How can a professor threaten a student?!
He didn’t seem like the type but he’s a jerk after all!
Ah, I don’t know.
For now, I don’t have anything.
You take care of it.
Unni! Unni!
Hey!
Don’t worry.
I’ll take care of it for you.
Would you please stop running your mouth? You’re not even better than me at anything.
Hey! How many bowls of rice can I knock back?
Wait and see! I’ll take care of it.
Ah, I don’t know. How annoying! Aish!
He dares to make my little sister cry?!
That little… He deserves to be scolded! Right?!
O- ow…
He’s so dead.
If you’re such a learned person, you should act like one!
How brash were you with the poor girl that she was absolutely inconsolable!
So what?
And about making her an assistant.
Just because a student made a mistake, you threaten her about that?!
10,000,000 won?! Ha! Do professors not mess up?
So what?
What do you mean so what?!
If you did something wrong, you need to fix it!
What are you saying I did wrong?
Do you want a full claim of all the harm Im Ba Ni has bestowed upon me?!
She lost my 10,000,000 won!
She made me lose all of the pictures I’ve ever taken!
She ruined my equipment and my guitar too!
If I were to add it all up, it would be billions of won.
Do you still expect me to right my wrongs now?
Huh?
Billions of won?
Since she’s still a student, I told her to work it off as my assistant.
Should I give her a school warning then?
What?!
Tch, what's he saying? A school...?
- Ha, tch! - Tch!
Hey, move aside, move aside.
I have to go to school, so move aside.
Wow. Wow, tch! What's he saying?
As if he’s the head of the school or something. What’s wrong with him?
University warning, Noona! He's saying 'university warning'.
Ah…
University warn…
Ah, tch. Why is a professor so-?
Now, this is the rooftop.
And this is the roof.
If people come to see the room,
we have to use various methods to scare them off. Got it?
The biggest goal of today is to give them a bad impression, that’s our main point.
Smell, noise, vermin, a room that’s either hot or cold…
We have to make all of these into big issues!
Got it?
We got it!
Wow…
This makes me think of when I put together plans during my army days.
My fellow soldiers and I were all packed tightly together then.
Let’s pack together tightly too, Grandfather!
We can do it!
Really?
Then Yu Na will be the call captain.
And Joon will be the action captain!
And I’ll be the plan commander.
Your plan of action is to defend this rooftop room! Do you understand?
Yes. Rooftop!
Rooftop!
Yes.
Ah, you’re coming right now to see it?
Ah, you’re a newlywed couple?
That’s fine with us!
Yes!
Someone’s coming to see the house. They’re a newlywed couple!
Come up this way. Look at this, look at this.
Our house has the best view out of all the ones in this neighborhood!
Come this way.
How is it?
It’s perfect for the two of you to live here, isn’t it?
You take a look in here, and we’ll go look around outside.
Well, our kid used to be healthy,
but he contracted rooftop syndrome.
It must have been bacteria from the mildew.
Hey, hey, don’t scratch it!
Aigoo, look at this, you’re bleeding now!
Aigoo, what to do?
Aigoo…
Yessss!
- We’ve succeeded! - Success! Success!
You did well!
Joon, let’s never split up, okay?
That’s right, Yu Na. I’ll never leave you.
Wow… so this is what college looks like.
Heh, I see that studying is done in pairs. How nice.
Hey, excuse me?
Could you tell me where Professor Lee Kyu Han’s office is?
Professor Lee Kyu Han?
Yes.
He’s in class right now.
- In class? - Yes.
[Exposure Correction]
Today we’re going to begin with how to decide on film exposures.
What?
For exposures, the amount of light applied to the film…
- Oh… - And the brightness while the picture
- is taken are what determine their success. - I guess they can sit wherever they want.
So… what is the most important factor in creating the most exposures with a camera?
With each lens, the numerical value of the iris differs, but 50mm is the standard…
Hey.
Hey, you, Shell's sister!
Yes, this is Tan Tan Fitness Clinic!
So Professor…
What I’m asking is that you be a little more lenient with Ba Ni.
And about the 10 million won… if you could just lower it a tiny bit. Just a tiny bit!
That’s all I’m asking.
I can’t do that.
Ah, don’t be like that, Professor!
Despite everything I’m still her older sister, so would you…
Would I?
Would you!
Would you… please just go?!
Ah Professor, just a little!
Yes.
There’s really no one that wants to come in?
Aigoo, all right.
Aigoo, that grump of a realtor.
He couldn’t be worse at his job…
What’s wrong, Grandma?
No one wants to move into the rooftop room?
That’s right!
It’s an okay place to live, so I have no idea why they’re acting like this.
I know, right?
Lil li lil la la...
- Excuse me, Madam? - Oh! What brings you here, Doctor Lee?
Well, I heard you put the rooftop up for rent.
I was just wondering if I could take a look at it.
Oh, Professor! You're here?
- What are you doing here? - I’m cleaning!
Aigoo, the desk was so dirty.
It’s absolutely spotless now I've cleaned it!
Oh! All the papers for my thesis… where did they go?!
Thesis?
Ah… were those for your thesis? I thought it was all garbage.
Don’t worry, I didn’t throw them away.
Here.
Here we go.
See?
Hello?
Gary Lee?
Ah, there you go again. I already told you there's no such person. You won't listen.
I don't care if you're the 'top student'*. [*mishearing the similar word 'Dean']
Yes, Dean?
Yes. Oh I’m sorry. My assistant didn’t come in today.
Yes, I’ll post them immediately. Yes.
Was he a higher up?
I thought he was calling himself the top at school.
Whatever about the top at school.
Look, Shell... No, Im Ba Ni’s sister…
Ah, Professor.
Do you have time right now?
We set something up to congratulate you on your prize.
Oh, you should go!
Ah, right! Ahjummoni, please keep this a secret from Young Kwang.
It’d be uncomfortable for three people to live together.
Of course it would!
Aigoo, you thought well!
This is the best place for someone to live alone. Perfect!
Yes ma’am.
If you move in here, Doctor Lee, I’ll repaper the whole place for you.
Grand- Grandma! Grandma, you have a visitor.
A visitor? Who?
I don’t know, they’re looking for you. Hurry, hurry!
That’s strange, I shouldn’t have any visitors today.
Why don’t you go on and start looking around, I’ll be right back.
Yes ma’am.
Wait! Isn’t it beautiful here?
- Oh, over there! Look over there! - Yeah, wow… It is.
Aigoo, it’s hot.
Oh… why is the room so hot?
Did you turn the boiler on by any chance?
No, winter’s almost over, why would we turn on the boiler?
Rooftop houses are usually like this.
Aren’t I right, Joon?
Yes!
It feels like a sauna during the summer!
- Grandfather! The eggs are all ready! - They’re ready?
- Wow, I’m sure it’ll be delicious. - Me too, me too!
You mean… it cooks eggs?!
Of course!
I don’t know about completely cooked, but definitely halfway at least.
We’re used to it, but I don’t know if you’ll be able to live in this sauna.
That’s all right! I’ll just put in two air conditioners.
Huh?
Eeish.
- Oh! Hello! - Hello!
- Everyone’s here, right? - Yes.
You guys bought a lot of snacks!
Wow… so at college they have outings like this.
It’s nice!
Professor! Congratulations on the New Artist Prize!
Congratulations!
All right, thanks everyone.
Let’s eat now, yes?
Oh! The chicken is nicely fried!
Have some, Professor, taking your students’ consideration into account.
Who are you?
Could it be… are you Professor’s girlfriend?
Girlfriend? Please.
Do we look good together?
Professor! I guess we look good together!
What are you saying?
It’s just a joke.
Scoot over a little.
Ah! I’m Im Yeo Jin, the sister of your classmate Im Ba Ni!
It’s nice to meet you!
Girlfriend?
Hey, she’s Im Ba Ni’s sister.
What is this? Is he dating Im Ba Ni’s sister?
It seems like our professor doesn’t want to drink today,
so I’ll drink in his stead! Woo!
Wow…
Woo!
Hey, little siblings! I like you kids!
- Hey, call me Noona! Call me Noona! - Noona! Noona!
Drink, drink up!
Hey, loosen up!
I need to get going.
Oh, where are you going, Professor?
Drink some more before you go, why don’t you?
Ah Professor, where are you going? Where are you going?
Hey! Hey, what do you think you’re- Argh, really!
Oh my…
You’re mad, aren’t you, Professor?
Sorry.
Professor!
Try and catch me!
You really-!
- You can’t catch me! You can’t catch me!... - Oh oh! Oh no!
I’ll put the bed here.
The refrigerator here. And the TV there.
Ah, I think I can make it work.
Ah… so it looks like you’ve decided.
Aigoo, you thought well.
But I don’t know if Ok Sook told you this or not.
What?
No, it’s nothing. Nothing at all.
Ah, what is it, Elder?
Oh all right, since you’ve already decided to move in.
I just thought you should know.
Hey, Joon.
It might’ve been two years ago, more or less. Huh?
He fell into depression after he got dumped… tsk tsk.
Don’t worry too much though. There can’t be evil spirits around in this day and age.
Ah, I’m just going to go…
Wait!
It worked, didn’t it, Grandpa? Joon!
Shhh, be quiet!
We did it! Success!
What is this?
Who came up with this?
Kim Joon, was this your doing?!
Grandfather might’ve done this because he has nowhere to go.
But why did you do this, Joon?
Please… tell Joon’s family not to go, Grandma.
Why are you being like this? Move aside over there. Aigoo.
I don’t want to leave here.
I have fun with Yu Na and Grandfather.
But I’m going to be alone again if we move.
What?
Because of Joon my grades went up, so why are you telling them to go? Why?!
Please…
Ah…
Hey Shell! Why aren’t you coming?
Oh, I’m on my way, Professor. I’ll be there in no time.
Ah I’m sobering up.
It’s cold…
Fine, I’ll knock it down 5 million won,
so don’t do something like this again.
Ah, thank you…
Since you’re being so kind right now,
could you help me get into college?
I thought… I didn’t need to go.
But they were really cool, the college students.
They were so free to study… and date.
And their confidence is overflowing.
Ah…
I’d like to attend it too… college.
Professor!
Im Yeo Jin, you really…
You drive me crazy, Unni, you really do. Aigoo!
I’m so sorry, Professor. I’m sorry.
She’s really drunk. Go on and take her home.
Okay. I’m sorry!
I’m sorry!
I’m sorry.
Here, get on.
Let’s go.
Oh my!
Ba Ni, I got him to cut it by 5 million won!
Aigoo, that’s wonderful. I guess the person who can eat more bowls of rice is better.
Ah, you’re so heavy, Im Yeo Jin!
Ba Ni!
You too…
[Rooftop house for rent - Deposit 10 million won, 300,000 a month]
This is the hospital house. I’d like to cancel the rooftop house for rent.
What did I tell you? Huh?
Call Captain, Yu Na!
Action Captain, Joon!
Great work, everyone! That’s it!
Yes, Grandfather!
Rooftop!
