This week's story on Rainbow Club.
A funny but sad day of...
single men and women thrifty and hilarious.
Choi Deok Moon, specialising in supporting roles for blockbusters.
Unlike his sloppy appearance,
he's such a guru of self-management.
He's also good at house chores including cooking and cleaning.
A special meet-up with Lee Sung Min, a close friend for 20 years.
A humane actor, Choi Deok Moon's single life will be revealed.
Oh, it feels good.
It's free, as you get it whenever you cook rice.
And the novice at living alone who doesn't have a gas stove...
looks everywhere for one.
Why did you contact me?
It's just that you looked so shabby.
It's the day of the runway for a 17-year model.
She starts a spartan training for the stage.
You are done.
I can't stand back up.
I Live Alone, "A funny yet sad day".
I laugh one minute and cry the next again today.
The Rainbow Live
(MBC broadcasting station in Sangam)
- Welcome! - Good to see you all.
- Here's Lee Si Eon. - Goodness.
Welcome, Si Eon.
- Your house got much tidier. - Right.
- Your face got cleaner, too. - You look great.
Now you look like a proper actor.
After the broadcast,
the response must have been great.
How was it?
I didn't know I was that dirty.
So I try to do the least at home.
For fear of making a mess in the kitchen.
I used to have noodles at home,
- but I decided not to do that now. - I see.
- I'll just keep it as it is. - I understand.
And I clean the walls of my bathroom bit by bit...
while in the shower.
Well, he's...
- a new man. - Right you are.
It's a big advance for him to clean the bathroom.
Look, there's a hint in a video for who's going to feature...
- for "The Rainbow Live". - Oh, really?
I wish it was a guy.
- I wish it was a girl. - A guy.
I wish it was a girl, too.
"The Rainbow Live"
("Assassination")
The first hint is the script of the movie, "Assassination".
- A script comes out that pretty? - Oh, is it Ha Jung Woo?
He didn't tell me.
Maybe it's a surprise in store.
- Really? - Awesome.
It's about time he comes out as a guest.
No, maybe he's Lee Jung Jae.
Maybe it's Choi Min Sik.
"Roaring Currents" and "The Throne"?
- Who is it? - It's Yoo Ah In!
Yoo Ah In featured in "Roaring Currents"?
- He's not in "Assassination". - "The Throne"!
He didn't appear in "Assassination".
Stop thinking about your wish and just concentrate.
- Is that charcoal? - Well, what's that?
Charcoal and red ginseng.
Jung Woo likes red ginseng.
And charcoal, as well.
The fourth hint is a portrait of Buddha.
Jung Woo works as a painter.
- That's right. - He's a painter.
It's his studio.
Can I just reapply my lipstick and come back?
I guess you better redo the whole makeup.
The whole makeup?
It still won't work, I guess.
I can at least reapply the lipstick, though.
Guess "Roaring Currents" and "The Throne"...
- were there just to deceive us. - Exactly.
- I'm pretty sure it's an actor. - Maybe it's Ha Jung Woo.
- That'd be great. - An actor!
Who's that?
Hello!
(Who's the main character for today's "Rainbow Live"?)
- Hello! - Hello.
(A neat middle-aged gentleman)
- Hi. - Welcome.
Nice to meet you.
- You're very welcome. - Aren't you here for a shoot...
on the first floor?
I saw him in the movie "Assassination".
- That's right. - "Assassination".
- Independence to Korea. - Independence to Korea.
(A supporting actor for blockbusters)
(A great supporting actor with excellent performance)
(A star who's also a theatrical)
(Actor Choi Deok Moon)
- Welcome. - Good to have you here.
You're a very familiar actor,
but I can't remember your name.
I know his name...
because I've seen "Assassination" seven times.
- You've seen it seven times? - I usually...
watch a movie with my son Jung Woo in it 3 to 4 times,
but I've seen "Assassination" about seven times.
You must be Choi Deok Moon.
- Right. - I remember all the actors.
Are you close to his son, who was in the same movie?
I became close to him shooting "Assassination" together.
- I could laugh a lot thanks to him. - Why?
He's very humorous and mischievous.
Just like his father.
(Smiling in contentment)
I heard you usually dress down.
I thought I should dress up for entertainment shows.
That I shouldn't be wearing socks.
- Like this. - You look great.
It looks good on you.
(Dandiness all over)
It's very rare I dress up.
This is my second time wearing a suit.
Actually, I thought you came for the "Blue Dragon Awards".
(I thought you came for the "Blue Dragon Awards".)
Now, we're going to see the three million actor,
Choi Deok Moon's morning routines.
Will he be dandy like now or just like Si Eon?
(Will he be dandy like now or just like Si Eon?)
I think he will be sloppy just like me.
He probably wouldn't look like an actor.
Let's see his morning routines.
(Deok Moon's house in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul)
(The house is very neat and tidy.)
- What's this? - Goodness!
He's totally different from Si Eon.
It looks like a show house.
- Totally different from Si Eon. - Totally.
Didn't you clean up your house for the shoot?
(Wriggling)
(Getting up)
(Sleeping again)
I don't want to wake up.
(He groans and just can't wake up at once.)
Look at him.
You can't just watch him in the morning without a sigh.
He looks like a middle-aged lady.
(Yawning)
(Deok Moon is making the bed in his groggy state.)
No, no wrinkles.
He's very neat.
(There's no "blanket wrinkle" in my dictionary.)
- It's like in the army. - It's very neat, isn't it?
It is.
(He also ventilates right away.)
You even ventilate?
But when are you going to finish yawning?
You're very neat.
Hi, I'm an actor with 20 years of experience.
I was in "Assassination",
"Roaring Currents" and "The Thieves".
I'm a 47-year-old actor, Choi Deok Moon.
I've been living alone for about five and a half years.
Are you an old bachelor?
Me? No.
I'm a divorced single.
You're just like me.
(Misery loves company.)
Let's live life to the full.
It's been 20 years for me.
(Single life is back.)
(The fridge is very neat inside.)
Do you have someone who does the chores? It's too neat.
I like tidying things up.
One red ginseng extract left now.
The delivery should be here today.
He drinks red ginseng extract As soon as you get up.
(He begins a day with a package of red ginseng extract.)
(He drinks it as soon as he gets up.)
(I need to take care of my health.)
This is good.
(He takes good care of himself.)
How much will I weigh?
You check your weight.
- Since I'm an actor. - It's good to check it every day.
I feel uncomfortable if I gain weight.
So I try to keep it around 75kg.
(He knows how to manage himself.)
Be quiet. It's morning.
(He weighs 75.9kg.)
It's okay.
You must be lonely since you speak to yourself a lot.
If you live alone, you get to speak to yourself.
He's probably at his peak.
He'll keep talking to himself.
(He takes out something from the fridge.)
It's time to eat cabbage.
I need to cut some more cabbage.
(He prepared the cabbage in advance.)
I can eat it until tomorrow. I should cut some more in the evening.
It's Choi Deok Moon's style of healthy juice. You put cabbage,
- Black bean powder, - black bean powder...
a bottle of yogurt and soybean milk...
- and blend them every morning. - It looks delicious.
(Put yogurt and soybean milk as well.)
Let's eat cabbage.
My stomach used to ache a lot.
I went to a clinic for that.
They say cabbage is good...
- for your stomach. - It is.
My teeth feel sensitive.
I feel pain everywhere since I'm old.
(He has to endure sensitive teeth to get a healthy stomach.)
Is it time for major league?
(Just like a child, he looks glad to see Wilson.)
- Please stay there. - His house is so neat.
You're Wilson.
- Nice to meet you. - Gosh.
I wanted to do something like this.
(It's tough body language between guys.)
It's so nice to meet you.
(It's so nice to meet you.)
(Has the baseball game started?)
What's the score?
(He watches games of LA Dodgers.)
Is it nil to nil?
What shall I eat?
(He starts to prepare breakfast with the TV on.)
(What shall I eat?)
I have tofu and zucchini.
(The freezer is also neat.)
(Even the ingredients are all prepared.)
He even froze the garbage...
so that it won't smell.
If you put it in the freezer,
- it doesn't smell. - That's right.
Chilli and onion.
Great, I got cheonggukjang.
- I have cheonggukjang. - He has cheonggukjang.
He has frozen meat, too.
(He's unbelievable.)
(He opened the rice cooker with confidence.)
I have no cooked rice.
I have no rice.
I feel it's lame to live alone at times like these.
I really do.
(The empty rice cooker made him sad.)
Cooking rice for myself...
What am I doing?
(He keeps talking to himself while upset.)
(He's peeking.)
Are the runners on the first and the second base? Great.
After washing rice,
I don't throw the water away.
(He uses the water to make cheonggukjang.)
(He sniffs.)
Awesome. It smells rotten.
But it'll make fantastic cheonggukjang.
(Though it smells bad, it'll taste good.)
(He puts two lumps of cheonggukjang paste...)
Onion.
(and ready-chopped onion.)
I also need to buy onions.
(He ties it so meticulously.)
I have a lot of things to buy,
although I live alone.
Chilli.
- That looks delicious. - He froze all the vegetables.
Really?
It's so bland.
He uses the word "so" so much.
(He looks confident with something he took out.)
You have to put in MSG.
I'm a chef.
(He's pouring it.)
This much will be enough.
(It's Deok Moon's secret weapon.)
(He's thrilled.)
(This is what I wanted.)
(He washes the cutting board right away.)
(Approaching)
(Is he getting a steam massage from the cooker?)
- Goodness. - What is he doing?
- Are you getting a steam massage? - Yes.
It's to get moisturised.
(He takes care of his pores with the steam from the cooker.)
I suddenly feel sleepy.
This feels great.
(This feels great.)
Try it yourself. It's really good.
Is it really helpful?
Yes. It's really helpful.
Your face will smell like rice.
(Your face will smell like rice.)
(He's busy caring for his pores and cooking as well.)
This is awesome.
(Open, my pores.)
This is natural moisturising.
- Right. - People keep spraying...
- mist as often as they can. - You're right.
(It's his own way of skincare.)
That looks good.
I can eat in five minutes.
(I can eat in five minutes.)
(He watches the baseball game while waiting.)
(He concentrates quickly.)
Good job, though.
We still got one point.
(He totally forgot about the cheonggukjang.)
Which team do you root for, Wilson?
Since you're a bear, are you a fan of the Doosan Bears?
(Since you're a bear, are you a fan of Doosan?)
He's making boring jokes.
It's spilling out.
- It's dangerous to live alone. - Gosh. Back then...
I turned on the stove.
(I turned on the stove.)
No way. I knew it.
My goodness.
It's all because of the baseball game.
I was so focused on the game...
- and I got startled. - He cleans it immediately.
- Sure. - If I were him,
I would take the pot off and start to eat.
- Since food is all that matters. - Yes.
But he cleans it first.
I get annoyed if it's messy.
Are you a fool?
How could you forget just in a few minutes?
You're foolish.
(This neat freak even cleans the floor.)
(Stop cleaning and have breakfast.)
(The rice is cooked well. Who's the cook?)
(He's so frugal that he won't waste a single grain of rice.)
(Everything is well organised in the cupboard, too.)
(He picks up seaweed.)
(He also takes out side dishes from the fridge.)
Flip it.
(The table is full.)
That looks good. You're so good at cooking.
Because I like cheonggukjang, I make it often.
You eat a lot of healthy food.
If this is so refreshing, I should have drunk a lot yesterday.
This is relieving my stomach.
(Though I didn't drink, it's relieving my stomach.)
This is good.
(It's so soothing that he's sweating.)
I'm sweaty.
(He was just having a meal.)
It's because I'm old now.
(It's because I'm old.)
I'm so old.
(He didn't finish but he gets up.)
What did he say? What was it?
It's safe.
Why don't you eat in the living room instead of moving back and forth?
The living room has to be used for its own purpose.
Why do you make it difficult?
You can just eat in front of the TV.
It's safe.
It's really safe.
(He comes back after checking the game.)
(Yes. You have to eat at the table.)
(But he's not lonely because of the baseball game.)
He cleans them up right away.
- I'll go grocery shopping today. - Gosh.
- Did you see him lining them up? - Yes.
(He washes the dishes right after that.)
(He's so diligent.)
Men usually leave the table as it is...
and keep watching TV.
- Men usually do. - Goodness.
(There's a little bit of soybean milk left.)
(He drinks until the last drop.)
(He's not finished with the soybean milk package.)
(He puts it in a recycling bag.)
Let's drink plum extract
You eat a lot of healthy foods.
- My mother made that for me. - Plum extract.
I'm trying hard to survive.
At this age, I need to depend on extracts.
Gosh.
Red ginseng extract, garlic extract,
(Red ginseng extract, garlic extract...)
and plum extracts as well.
My life depends on extracts.
He's beyond compare. He has so many healthy foods.
- You eat healthy foods, too. - But not that many.
If I finish my meal, that's it.
I should either stop drinking...
or stop taking medicine for liver.
(He takes supplements to drink.)
I think I have done all I have to do this morning.
Swing.
Hey, Short-legged.
(Hey, Short-legged.)
I'll do something to care for you.
(He crosses its legs.)
Your legs are too short to cross.
(You can't cross your legs.)
(He likes teasing Wilson.)
Keep them crossed.
(Wilson succeeds in crossing his legs for the first time.)
My sole is so dirty.
(He cleans his soles with tape.)
(I can't stand it.)
I need to clean the house.
- You use disposable wipes. - I really need to clean.
(He starts to clean up.)
We seem to live in a world of dust.
(He wipes the top of the mirror,)
(the frames,)
(and the piggy bank.)
- He's so neat. - He likes cleaning.
This is the candle Jun Ji Hyun gave to me.
- Is that a fragrant candle? - Yes.
It's really dirty.
(It's dirty under the bed.)
It's very dirty.
You have to clean up forever.
(He bumps into the door.)
- That must hurt a lot. - It did.
That looks painful.
I want to keep my house clean.
If dirty dishes are piled up...
and you didn't make your bed,
you don't feel like you can rest.
Rather than leaving it messy, if you make bed in the morning...
and clean up before you go out,
you'll feel comfortable when you come back.
That's why I clean the house.
It's not that I'm obsessed with cleanliness.
There's so much hair.
There's a mop pole to attach that on.
- It's easier to use a mop pole. - It's not clean enough.
(He's knocked down after wiping the floor.)
My knees hurt.
- That's how our mothers cleaned. - That's right.
- Goodness. - Look at that.
It's much cleaner to wipe the floor than to use a vacuum cleaner.
You can wipe every corner in the house.
You can also clean your furniture.
That's why I wipe the floor with my hands...
although it's a little tiring.
I once wiped the floor so hard...
that I had bruises on my knees as big as a coin.
My skin got scraped off.
My body suffers because of my cleanliness.
(He even cleans Wilson.)
Gosh, what have you been doing?
(Wilson is being scolded all day long.)
Who is it?
Yes. Thank you.
I don't shop online so often.
I ran out of red ginseng extract that day.
- I guess you'll organise them now. - That's right.
I organise them neatly.
My life is all about healthy drinks.
I'm struggling to survive.
I grind it and press it.
You eat red ginseng on a regular basis.
There's no one to take care of me, so I have to take care of myself.
Right.
(Deok Moon is ready to go out.)
All right. Let's go for a run.
Lights off.
(He's going out for jogging.)
(Under the clear autumn sky,)
(there's a walkway along Seongbukcheon.)
(He exclaims.)
There are a lot of rice fish here.
(The Seongbukcheon walkway is Deok Moon's jogging route.)
The walkway leads to Cheonggyecheon.
It's about 8km to go there and come back.
I go for a run 3 or 4 times a week.
- Do you jog often? - Yes.
- I jog 3 or 4 times a week. - He takes good care of himself.
I need to strengthen my body to enjoy drinking.
- Right. It's a good thing. - You take good care of yourself.
It's good to stay healthy.
(A siren wails.)
Is that for the civil defence training?
Should I stop running?
Should people stop exercising during the training?
(I don't know.)
(He keeps running.)
(It's not easy to run 8km.)
It looks like Central Park in New York.
- It's nice. - Isn't the scenery great?
- It's really nice. - Indeed.
- It's nice. - Right.
- The walkway is well built. - Exactly.
It's really nice.
You look like a middle-aged woman who exercises a lot.
His hair is parted weirdly.
I permed my hair for my part in my movie.
I can't control it.
The hairstyle suits you well.
(Let's go home now.)
It feels good after running.
Of course.
Does he have an unexpectedly nice body?
Are you really showing this?
Of course.
(He keeps his body fit by jogging.)
(It feels refreshing.)
(After showering, he grabs something.)
(It's a hair straightener.)
- I'm embarrassed. - He even straightens his hair.
(He's straightening his hair.)
I'm so embarrassed.
(He uses the hair straightener very skilfully.)
- I've never seen a man do that. - Me, neither.
I always use it...
because my hair is naturally curly.
It's so unexpected.
Men don't usually have a hair straightener at home.
(He puts it back to where it was.)
Let's go.
(He finished getting ready to go out quickly.)
I have my wallet and phone.
I turned off the gas valve.
Let's go.
(Let's go to Daehangno.)
(Deok Moon's morning routine was very impressive.)
- It was like a play. - You're...
- surprisingly tidy. - He's so tidy.
Your house was surprisingly dirty.
(Your house was surprisingly dirty.)
I was impressed that he does what even single women...
don't know how to do.
- He's not just good at cooking. - Exactly.
He stores vegetables in the freezer.
- He cleans once he spills. - That's right.
He's the best among all of us.
- He's good at household chores. - Yes.
He also knows very famous people.
It seems you're good friends with Song Kang Ho and Lee Sung Min.
They're my closest friends.
- They are? - We're from the same troupe.
We're in the same agency now.
- We work together often. - They're close friends.
Kang Ho likes drinking, so we have a drink when we meet.
Sung Min can't drink much, so we drink coffee together.
We go to different cafes when we meet.
- I've never heard of that before. - Me, neither.
"Let's talk more at another cafe."
They just move to another place.
- That's interesting. - It is.
It seems like you have a lot of connections.
Are you going to meet Sung Min after that?
That's right.
(How will he spend his afternoon with Actor Lee Sung Min?)
Let's watch the video.
- It's Daehangno. - Daehangno.
(Actor Choi Deok Moon is in Daehangno.)
(Deok Moon is headed to Daehangno.)
(He watches carefully.)
My hair looks messy even after I straightened it.
(Where is he headed with his hair blowing in the wind?)
(It's a snack bar in Daehangno.)
Where is she?
She couldn't come in this morning.
- Really? - Yes.
She'll come at 9pm, though.
That's sad. I came here to see her.
You must go there often.
Anyone who used to be a theatre actor knows this place.
- They have perilla leaf tteokbokki? - That's right.
- Oh, I see. - Do you know that place?
- I used to perform in a theatre. - Oh, right.
I worked there for over a year.
- I'll have gimmari. - Okay.
That's enough for me.
- Please mix it with tteokbokki. - Okay.
Yes. Thank you.
I should eat this with a spoon.
Yes. You can use one of those.
I haven't eaten this in a while.
- It looks delicious. - It looks delicious.
(He slurps.)
(He takes a big bite.)
(After he filled his stomach with tteokbokki and gimmari,)
(the posters on the wall finally catch his eyes.)
The wall is covered with play posters.
I used to put my poster on that wall after eating tteokbokki.
- I went around to put on posters. - Me, too.
- Is that what newcomers do? - Yes.
Do actors come here to put their posters on the wall?
Yes. They always come here and ask me to put on their posters.
I used to go around to put on posters.
I received money that's just enough for transportation and a meal.
- I put on 200 posters in a day. - I did that, too.
I would go to Gangnam and put on posters.
Then, I would eat jjajangmyeon.
I then continued to put on posters.
One time, I did something bad.
I might be scolded by my senior actors for this.
(I might be scolded by my senior actors for this.)
I really didn't want to do that.
I put tape around almost 100 posters and threw it away.
It's understandable.
I thought to myself, "I can't stand this any more."
I don't want to quit acting as long as I can be on stage.
I dreamed of becoming an actor, not becoming successful.
How did you make a living? You don't earn much from playing in theatres.
- You can't live off that. - Right.
My annual income was only 2,000 dollars back then.
(He earned only 2,000 dollars a year from playing in theatres.)
- I worked part-time jobs. - What kind of jobs?
I worked at a convenience store from 11pm to 8am.
Before I joined the military, I worked with Actor Ryu Seung Ryong.
- Ryu Seung Ryong? - We went to the same university.
We worked at a construction site for two months.
- At a construction site? - Yes.
- With Ryu Seung Ryong? - We worked together.
We worked together back then.
- Until when did you work like that? - I worked part-time jobs...
I quit working part-time jobs...
when I was 32 or 33 years old.
One day, the assistant manager told me on his way out,
"I think our manager is one year old younger than you."
- It discouraged me so much. - You must've felt useless.
I washed the mop and hung it for the last time.
When the manager came in,
I told him I wanted to quit.
The next day, I made my own portfolio,
and I visited movie production companies to give out my resume.
- What he said hurt your pride. - That's right.
- I was shocked. - But it led you to another path.
You can say that.
What kept you going despite your hardships?
I tried to be patient.
I'm going slowly, but I'm still moving.
If I'm meant to be an actor, I'll be on the top someday.
This thought is what keeps me going.
It's so touching. He never gave up.
Thank you for the food.
Please tell her...
- that I came by. - Sure. Thank you for coming.
- Thank you. - See you later.
- See you later. - Okay.
(Deok Moon came to the centre of Daehangno.)
It's good to look around Daehangno after a long time.
I love Daehangno.
- Where are you going? - I'm going for a rehearsal.
For what play?
- It's for "Toc Toc". - I just saw the poster...
at the snack bar.
Really?
(He shows a friendly smile to his junior actor.)
Please come and watch our play.
- Okay. I will. - See you soon.
Go on now.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing?
(He runs into a close friend who can share her coffee with him.)
- Where are you headed? - I'm on my way to the rehearsal.
You keep running into your junior actors.
- I know a lot of theatre actors. - That's right.
(He finds a poster on the wall.)
Look.
Jae Hyun is performing in a play.
You must know every actor in those posters.
How adorable.
(He pats his junior actors in the posters.)
They're my favourite actors.
(You look like you've worked in Daehangno forever.)
There are veteran actors who have worked there for 50 years.
I've worked there only for over 20 years.
I'm not considered as a veteran actor.
Most of the active actors in theatres these days are...
around my age.
Most of them are.
That's why I run into a lot of actors I know...
on their way to the rehearsal.
We all perform in theatres in Daehangno.
Every actor must have a deep connection to this area.
(It's a cafe in the building where a small theatre is.)
(Deok Moon is planning to visit his junior actors with Sung Min.)
Finally, you're meeting Sung Min.
When will he come?
(He's checking his social media accounts while waiting.)
(He appears suddenly.)
(Actor Lee Sung Min)
He's coming up.
- I feel like I'm watching a movie. - Me, too.
Why are you acting so elegant?
Sung Min and I have been...
playing in the same theatre for over 15 years.
After we finish our play, we drink together and talk about the play.
We talk about how we should perform the next day.
He and I have shared experiences for a long time.
We don't usually meet up at a place like this.
You don't go around like this in the daytime.
I do go around here and my neighbourhood.
This is why I hate those who live alone.
They're so free.
I don't even have perception of time.
That's what Seongbuk-dong is like.
There are a lot of old single men living there.
There are too many of them.
Why don't you form a group...
- for single men in Seongbuk-dong? - You're just clueless.
I see them almost every day. I met them yesterday, too.
See? I told you there's a negative energy in that neighbourhood.
- There's a negative energy there? - It's...
It's weird...
that there are so many single men living there.
Are you jealous?
I'm saying you should get out of there.
- And move to your neighbourhood? - That's right.
I'll be lonely if I live in your neighbourhood with no friends.
I'm lonely, too.
At least, you have a wife.
I'm still lonely.
- I can see that he means it. - He's right. You feel lonely...
- I think he means it. - even if you have a family.
Many fathers living with his family feel lonely.
Even when I'm with my family,
I feel like I'm an island isolated from them.
I feel that way sometimes.
However, as I'm getting older, I realise...
that it's better when I'm around other people.
Especially when you're sick, you need someone around you.
I agree with that.
One of my senior actors lives alone.
I heard he was hospitalised.
I asked how he stayed in the hospital alone.
He said his male junior actor stayed with him in the hospital.
That sounds so sad.
Seriously.
It wasn't even an actress.
Just the thought of that makes me sad.
- That's a good comparison. - Right.
- I feel so sad. - You're doing all right now,
but you can't live alone when you're old.
Is it about Deok Moon living alone?
It's his life, so he'll take care of himself.
However, watching him living alone...
makes me worry because he's not very young.
If there's a nice single lady,
I hope she finds Deok Moon,
so we can spend some time with our families.
(He hopes to see Deok Moon having a happy family.)
What plays did we perform in this theatre?
- Did we perform here? - We performed a lot here...
including "The Story of an Old Thief".
That was the first play we performed here.
- "The Story of Yangdeokwon", too? - We performed the play here, too.
You used to have the best body in our troupe.
You were the only actor who would take off his clothes.
The director always tried to make you take off your clothes.
I even performed nude.
- Is that true? - I turned around.
You must've been very confident about your body.
(The play Deok Moon performed nude in is...)
I took all my clothes off,
and as I walked into the sea, the light faded out.
Before the light went back on, I wore my clothes.
I couldn't see the audience,
but I saw a staff member.
She was in charge of the pin light adjusting it on a ladder.
(There was a girl who shone the light on him.)
I didn't know she was sitting on top of the ladder.
I said, "Hey".
She said, "Hello, I think I got the best seat in the theatre."
That's funny.
She's peculiar.
She's daring.
I didn't know she was there.
Have you ever filmed a love scene?
No. I haven't.
I filmed my first kiss scene with Kim Soo Hyun.
In my first kiss scene including movies and dramas,
I kissed a guy.
What's wrong? It's Kim Soo Hyun.
I'm jealous.
You must've been happy.
Why would that feel good?
Why would I feel good?
All the women I met said, "I'm so jealous."
It's ridiculous.
Isn't it time they come?
- Let's buy coffee for them. - Okay.
- Deok Moon, I'm hungry. - Pardon?
- Sung Min. - I haven't eaten yet.
They have instant noodles in the dressing room.
You don't usually eat dessert.
- I'm hungry. - You should eat a meal.
I was alone at home before I came here.
We should've gone for a meal.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
It's Jung Seok Yong.
- Who? - He's my closest friend.
(Who's Jung Seok Yong?)
(Actor Jung Seok Yong)
(Everyone recognises his face.)
It's Mr Jung.
- He really looks like a movie star. - In the movie "Tunnel",
- he played as a nice person... - He also acted in "Train to Busan".
We're the same age.
(Seok Yong is Deok Moon's close friend.)
We're very close.
I didn't think I'd see you today. I'm glad to see you.
We finished the rehearsal early today.
When does your play start?
- On December 2. - It's not very soon.
Do you think Deok Moon should get married?
(He asked the question all of a sudden.)
Why would you ask me that?
You asked it to the wrong person.
I hope you'll get married soon, too.
- I really hope you do. - Me, too.
Why are you telling me this?
Don't you think you should get married once in your life?
At least once...
Once in my life...
What are you trying to say?
I want to be married.
(I want to be married.)
Sung Min asks me this whenever he sees me.
"Aren't you going to get married? Aren't you planning to do it?"
You said you like being single because you can date many girls.
(He's a free man with a splendid lifestyle.)
Whenever I meet them, they won't stop teasing me.
I think it's based on the truth.
Just a little bit.
Whenever I run into actresses,
they all say they're going to meet Deok Moon.
Right?
Every woman goes to see him.
He's the gentleman in Daehangno.
He likes drinking and meeting people.
He also has good manners.
If there's a popularity poll of the Daehangno actors,
Deok Moon would be ranked high.
Is that true?
Bae Seong Woo said he's the most popular.
Seong Woo did?
I'm filming a movie with him.
I'll ask him on the set later.
- You should clarify that. - Deok Moon.
Which one of you do you think is the most popular...
among actresses in Daehangno?
- Right now? - Yes.
Neither of us is now.
(Neither of us is now.)
- We used to be popular. - I see.
(They're going up to the theatre now.)
Let's go.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(The gentleman brings drinks for his junior actors.)
(Their troupe's play will be performed in this theatre.)
My goodness.
(The actors are doing stretches.)
- Stop it. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi. - Thank you.
I visit my junior actors when they perform a play.
After the play, I buy them a meal or a drink.
All the senior actors of the troupe visit them during a rehearsal.
We visit them together...
and have a meal with our junior actors and staff members.
I live near Daehangno, so I visit them often.
I haven't met her before.
- Have you heard of Deok Moon? - Yes. I have.
What did you hear about him?
Think carefully. There were only you, me and the other girl.
- Did you drink with two women? - You drank with women alone.
You're just unbelievable.
Maybe, he's not that popular any more,
but wasn't Deok Moon the most popular man before?
- He's still very popular. - Women like him so much.
He's my role model.
He's still very popular among women.
- He drank with all the actresses. - Would you like to drink with me?
He posts his pictures on his social media account every day.
He posts pictures of him with different women every day.
- My goodness. - Is that true?
Deok Moon and I are friends on social media.
Deok Moon, can I ask why you leave so many comments on her posts?
- Who? - Song...
(He's baffled.)
- You mean, Yoo Hyun? - Yes.
Song Yoo Hyun?
Yoo Hyun is my junior actor,
and we once performed together in a play.
- He spoke in dialect. - He got baffled.
- "We performed together." - He is baffled.
- "We performed together." - He is flustered.
"I didn't know people would see that."
You performed with many other actresses,
- Out of all the actresses. - but you leave her more comments.
I was surprised.
I didn't know he read all my comments.
- It means he likes you. - Si Eon is sensitive about it...
- because he likes the actress, too. - They're in a love triangle.
That's not true.
- Did he just see her posts? - I hope things go well for them.
- Or did he leave comments? - I hope he'll date her.
I haven't seen her for 3 or 4 years.
I'm so curious. I want to see her photo.
Yoo Hyun must be on top of the internet hit list now.
- She's beautiful. - Right.
- Is she beautiful? - She's very beautiful.
You do like her, don't you?
- I like her as a friend. - "Song..."
- It's getting more mysterious. - It's Yoo Hyun.
- Yoo Hyun? - Yes.
Are you searching her name on the internet?
(Gook Ju searches her name on the internet.)
- She's gorgeous. - Is this her?
- She appeared on TV shows before. - That's her.
- She's younger than me. - I need my reading glasses.
My goodness. Wow.
- Let me see her picture. - Goodness.
- Here you are. - Let me see.
- You're wearing glasses on glasses. - I hope they get married.
What are you talking about?
She's my type.
(She's my type.)
She's pretty.
- You should ask her out. - It's not that easy.
- You have feelings for her, right? - It's not easy.
Let me take another look.
Mr Kim, you look so excited.
It'd be great if he finds a good match for him.
I'll give Yoo Hyun a call after this.
He'll give her a call later.
- That's good. - You know...
I really admire you.
(I really admire you.)
Please teach me how to be loved by every woman.
He has good manners.
He visits his junior actors often.
- That's because he lives nearby. - That's right.
- I'd come every day if I live here. - Me, too.
(The gentleman has a high reputation.)
He has good manners as an actor, too.
There was a scene where he performed nude.
- On the stage... - It was a theatre in Myeong-dong.
It's a very sensitive matter to an actor,
but he didn't make any kind of requests to the staff.
He's kind to the staff members as well as the actors.
He can win women's hearts as an actor.
I thought he'd gain popularity sooner than me.
Rather than trying to make his role stand out,
he thinks more about...
how to harmonise with the other actors.
- He's very considerate. - Exactly.
That's why his junior actors like him.
- We work together for a play. - Right.
It's not something that can be done by one person.
Do you guys not play the cup game any more?
- Then, how do you do warm-ups? - He's good at it.
(He gives the cup game a try.)
I haven't done this in a long time.
Shall I stand here?
(He used to play this game with his fellow actors before performing.)
Counting 11, 12, 13...
(He reminisces those days playing the game with his junior actors.)
Back then, I went to the theatre early, which wasn't necessary.
I played the cup game with the other actors.
I ate with them. We chatted and laughed together.
A long time has passed since then,
but I can still see my friends and junior actors there.
I can visit them anytime I want, watch them rehearsing...
and hang out with them after they're done.
Actors don't work at the same place.
When I go there, I feel like I have an office job with colleagues.
- That's awesome. - I'll come this weekend.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Shall we say the chant with them? - Let's do that.
- Let's say, "Let's have fun." - Oh, that?
- "Let's have fun." - Don't you guys say a chant?
- We do. - We used to say, "Hoorah".
- We changed the chant. - What do you say?
- Let's say their chant. - Okay.
- Because of those with smelly feet. - "Hygiene etiquette, please."
In 1, 2, 3.
- Let's have fun! - Let's have fun!
- Hygiene etiquette, please! - Hygiene etiquette, please!
- Good luck. - Keep it up, guys.
- Good luck, everyone. - Thank you.
We'll meet you on the last day.
(Deok Moon enjoyed his afternoon because of the people around him.)
(We enjoyed your video.)
You don't earn much money as a theatre actor.
- That's right. - Your parents must've told you...
to find another job.
When I said I'd major in acting, my father hit me with an ashtray.
It's true.
What did your father want you to become?
My name is Deok Moon. He wanted me to become a teacher.
It's a good name for a teacher.
It means virtue and literature.
Your name is suitable for a teacher.
- Only my name is suitable. - Teacher Choi Deok Moon.
It feels like my old teacher's name.
You look like a teacher in the teachers' room right now.
I think he looks like a teacher, too.
He can just hold a pointer stick and say, "Hey, come here."
- Then, he pats him on the head. - He looks like a teacher.
- He looks like a teacher. - That's right.
All of your actor friends have become successful.
- Ryu Seung Ryong and... - They're all successful now.
They all became successful. I'm happy for them.
Even though you're happy for them,
- aren't you worried all of them... - Because they succeeded sooner.
except for you became successful?
I got parts for dramas and movies.
Since I'm doing my job, I'm not worried about that.
- Having work to do matters more? - That's right.
You know how they say, "There are no small actors, only small parts."
- That's what they say. - Right.
- Don't you think that's right? - Of course, I do.
I agree with that.
I believe he'll become a great actor in the future.
Thank you.
In the afternoon, you met Sung Min and your junior actors.
- I wonder how he spends a night. - I'm excited.
Let's see how he ends his day.
(The sky became dark.)
(Deok Moon left Daehangno. Where is he headed?)
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
- Hello. - Did you have a good time in Busan?
It's a side dish store.
- Busan? - I stop by a side dish store...
- on my way home, too. - All I did there was drink...
- I see. - with other people.
Since I went to Busan, I have no side dish at home.
- Is that so? - That's right.
Seasoned perilla leaves and chilli.
(He chooses side dishes to fill his fridge.)
I don't need that. I already picked this.
Do you have mulkimchi? Can I get five dollars' worth of it?
(The owner goes into the store.)
Mulkimchi.
(He follows her.)
Try these, too.
- I'll try this one. - It looks so delicious.
- It looks delicious. - It looks delicious.
It makes my mouth water.
It's delicious.
Don't put in too much. That's enough for me.
- If I keep it too long, - You live alone.
She's very generous.
- Other people beg me to give more. - It's so good.
For those who live alone,
too much food can be a problem.
(He eats noisily.)
- He's eating so noisily. - It ends up going bad.
(He finished shopping.)
- Thank you. - I'll come again a week later.
- Okay. - Please cook some seasonal food.
- Seasonal food, please. - Okay.
- See you later. - She feels like your mother.
Okay.
(He goes home with a bag of food and kindness.)
(But then,)
(he goes to his regular restaurant.)
Hello?
- He's friendly to everyone. - Hello.
- Can I get dakbal? - How many people will you eat with?
- Were you there to buy dakbal? - I'll eat alone.
That means you're not planning to eat a meal.
You're planning to have a drink.
- It's not a meal. - I often eat dakbal...
with beer for dinner.
- I'll put it in just a little. - Yes, little.
Please make it less spicy this time.
- I'll give you bean sprouts, too. - Please don't make it too spicy.
It's delicious, but it's too spicy.
- You don't need other side dishes? - No. That'd be enough.
She's so generous.
- I think you gave me too much. - I packed a lot of bean sprouts.
- Thank you for this. - You're welcome.
I'll sue you if it's too spicy.
- That's funny. - See you later.
I can see that you're close to her.
(Deok Moon is going home with dakbal and the side dishes.)
- What is it? - What's he going to buy now?
(He runs towards somewhere excitedly.)
(It's another restaurant he goes to often.)
Did you shop a lot?
Yes. I just bought some side dishes.
- I'll come later. - See you then.
Bye.
- Hello. - Hello.
I can see them on the street I always pass on.
I pass by their stores often.
I became friends with them naturally.
I buy some fruits for them sometimes.
Sometimes, the owner of the side dish store...
packs some food for me.
We're more than a customer and an owner.
We're more like neighbours.
It happened so naturally.
I guess you lived in the neighbourhood for a long time.
I've been living there for five years.
You can run for election in the future.
- Me? - Yes. They'll all vote for you.
- He'll get all the votes. - Right.
(Deok Moon comes home after meeting his neighbours.)
(The first thing he does is organise the side dishes.)
His house is so clean.
Mulkimchi.
- It's too much. - He's good at household chores.
(It shows the affection of his neighbour.)
She gave me too much.
(He puts kimchi in a container carefully.)
Oh, yes.
It's perfect. I'll eat these tomorrow.
I feel like I became rich.
I feel so happy.
I would eat the food from the bag.
I can't understand why people put the food in containers.
It's easier to eat it later.
It'll make you feel like a rich man.
(Is that so?)
- Si Eon needs a special lesson. - You should eat out.
(He finished organising the food. It's time for a night snack.)
Let me see.
(He smells it.)
(This spicy smell is so addictive.)
I think it's really spicy.
(He feels excited somehow.)
(Shall I start eating?)
I'm afraid.
But it looks delicious.
(While heating up the dakbal to enjoy the spiciness properly...)
I like the sound of the microwave.
Cold beer.
- Look at that. - He has all kinds of beer.
- He really likes drinking. - That's amazing.
(Meanwhile, the dakbal is ready.)
Yes. I'm so excited.
It's dakbal with a can of beer.
He's wearing plastic gloves.
- My goodness. - That's so good.
(He opens the beer can.)
(After exclaiming like a middle-aged man,)
It's the perfect beer for autumn.
(he drinks beer.)
(He looks like the happiest man on earth.)
You wouldn't know what it tastes like.
(It looks delicious.)
(He picks up a piece...)
(and then takes a bite.)
(He spits out the bones.)
It seems like you've done it many times before.
(Deok Moon is like the master of eating dakbal.)
It's so spicy.
I forgot.
- I should've taken a picture first. - My goodness.
- You like posting on social media. - Right.
- I send it to my group chat room. - I see.
(He looks serious.)
(He takes a picture.)
(He sends the picture...)
(to the group chat room.)
"The best food for drinking alone".
No, no. Don't come over.
You can't come here.
Does Yoo Hyun respond to your pictures?
(Does Yoo Hyun respond to your pictures?)
Does she say, "It looks so delicious"?
"There's only one can of beer. You must be eating alone."
Yoo Hyun is in that group chat room.
- That's obvious. - They're the cast members.
- Why else would you send the photo? - That's right.
- You sent it for her to see. - Exactly.
You were just too shy to send it to her alone.
That's right.
I'm eating alone. It's so good. Don't come over.
(He finishes bragging shortly.)
(He glances.)
(He's watching TV to comfort his loneliness.)
- You were watching that show. - It was "Wedding Special".
- "Wedding Special". - Shows like that make me sad.
(He eats dakbal with anger.)
(Life is harsh.)
(He sweats as if he were crying.)
(After sweating buckets...)
Ice cream. Ice cream.
Are you eating ice cream right after eating spicy food?
- It'll cool down his stomach. - His face turned red.
This is the best.
(He eats something sweet...)
(after eating spicy dakbal.)
(This is so wonderful.)
Dakbal and ice cream are a perfect combination.
I think I'm getting dizzy from the spiciness.
My gosh.
I'll finish it tomorrow.
- He's cleaning up. - That's right.
He's taking care of the leftovers.
I'll eat it with mulkimchi tomorrow.
That's hot.
- What's that? - What's that?
- What's that? - Is it an air freshener?
(Dropping)
(He looks like he's spinning...)
(a magic wand.)
(Make my room smell better.)
(He looks satisfied with the result.)
That's better.
(The potpourri is getting rid of the smell.)
I should wash up and go to bed.
(Washing)
- That's how old men do it. - Right.
He's almost slapping himself.
(He's not going easy on himself.)
(His face is all red.)
(Refreshing)
All right.
Is he going to put on a facial mask?
It won't be an off-day without a facial mask.
(Deok Moon has delicate touches.)
(Tapping)
(I want to look pretty.)
(Deok Moon is good at taking care of himself.)
(He wants to get glowing skin.)
(He enters the room looking flashy.)
(What is it this time?)
(What's he doing?)
(He's reaching for the scripts.)
- He's going to read the scripts. - Yes.
What do I have on Sunday?
17, 19... No, 18, 19...
Gosh, I'm far-sighted.
I can't see anything.
(I can't see anything.)
- He really can't see. - Wait.
(Deok Moon goes over his lines in the movie.)
The important thing is...
(Deok Moon immerses himself in his role.)
trust.
He got suspicious and hesitated.
I'll pay off the loan.
I might look arrogant by saying this,
but my dream is becoming an actor, still.
People might think I'm an actor,
but I don't think I'm quite there yet.
I feel like I have to try harder.
There's so much I haven't done yet.
I want to give it more time.
I don't think I can call myself a complete actor yet.
(The facial mask is complete, though.)
(It's moist.)
He looks like my sister.
Soak it up.
(Tapping)
Wilson.
Have a good night.
It looks like he's bullying him.
(Being Wilson is hard.)
- Why does he do that? - Why does he keep kicking him?
It's a show of affection.
Your colour looks good in that chair.
Have a good night.
(Goodnight, Wilson.)
Bye.
- It's finally bed time. - I should finish the day off.
- He won't go to bed easily. - It's a massage machine.
That's nice.
(He lets the machine take care of his tired body.)
That's much better.
(Deok Moon is hard at work to become the actor he wants to be.)
(It's a never-ending process.)
I should sleep now.
Thanks for that.
When do you feel like you've aged?
I know you take good care of your body, but still...
When I wake up in the morning,
my body hurts for no reason.
- I agree with you. - Yes.
Can you understand how much it hurts for me, then?
(I'm the oldest one here.)
I know what that feels like.
- It hurts for no reason. - Right.
- It just hurts. - Yes.
Do you feel like...
you want someone by your side at times like that?
To be honest,
I'm not ready for that yet.
It's hard to open up to anyone just yet.
This is my lifestyle for now.
You don't want to rush anything.
- Don't you get lonely? - Of course I do.
Don't you feel the same...
when you eat alone?
I wish there was someone I could break bread with.
I do feel lonely.
- Yoo Hyun is our hope. - She's quite charming.
I think she'll be thrown off by what we said today.
That's how people fall in love.
I don't think you've ever...
watched a video of yourself living alone.
- What did you think? - I talked a lot.
- You were quite talkative. - Yes. I got that.
I feel like I should start working out.
I was shocked by how I looked in the mirror.
- Your body looked all right. - Yes.
- Really? I don't think so. - It looked fine.
You should look at our bodies.
- This guy's in his early 40s but... - Mine is horrible.
I'm in my 30s.
- I'm in my mid-30s. - You're in very good shape.
You run every morning and drink healthy juice.
I feel like it's something that I have to do to keep acting.
I have to do it...
if I want to keep going out for a drink with my friends.
I can still do those things when I get older.
I think I understand why you were so popular in Daehangno.
You're too generous.
It's not like that.
I think I was popular among a small group of people.
Now that I think of it.
I hope I can see you on many different films.
We wish you luck in your life and your career.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
- Go, Deok Moon. - Thank you.
(I Live Alone)
(The autumn sky is clear at Hye Jin's house.)
(She's doing cardio right after bed.)
(She's different than usual.)
(Usually, she'd be watching TV,)
(curing her hangover with sundaeguk.)
(This is surprisingly unlike her.)
(She even works her arms by holding up the magazine.)
How do you do this pose?
(Is she a model or a break dancer?)
(She's usually on soju.)
(Now, she's on a bicycle.)
Today was the last day...
of Seoul Fashion Week.
I had to wear something for it.
I did cardio on an empty stomach...
and worked out accordingly.
I'm hungry.
(Hye Jin worked out for an hour on an empty stomach.)
Is this in too deep?
Oh, no. My pants are ruined.
(Even models wear track pants at home.)
(Looks like she's about to wash some rice.)
(Pouring)
It might spill.
(She's being careful.)
(She waters the tree.)
(I can't eat right now, but you can.)
(She feels less hungry after watering the tree.)
(Let's see here.)
(Is she making juice in that green bottle?)
(Nice)
I envy you.
You can just live off water.
I'm so hungry.
(It makes me even hungrier watching you eat.)
I'm so hungry.
(This should be fine.)
(She fights the hunger by taking supplements.)
Is it okay to take these with an empty stomach?
- What do you take? - Vitamins,
BCAA, magnesium,
vitamin C, B complex and milk thistle.
(But today)
I'll just take three today.
I have an empty stomach.
(Swallowing)
(Do you not eat anything on the day of fashion shows?)
I don't skip meals.
I even eat at the fashion show,
but I had to try harder for the last dress I had to wear.
It was the lightest dress...
that I had to wear in the past 10 years.
There's no way of hiding when the material is thin.
The dress made me nervous. I was like,
"Darn it".
Gosh.
(She can't help but moan with an empty stomach.)
I feel like I should work on my butt.
(She's calling someone.)
- Hello? - Hello. Are you busy right now?
- It didn't get cancelled, did it? - No.
(She's checking her schedule.)
Okay. I'll be there by 10 to 2.
- See you then. - Bye.
Okay.
I'm hungry.
(She didn't have anything to eat,)
(yet she goes to the gym.)
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
(You're here.)
- Let's do stretches. - Okay.
After a few minutes of that,
we'll work on the abs.
Straighten up a bit.
(She's warming up before the workout session.)
Switch the legs.
(She has very long legs to help with the exercise.)
Raise your head a little.
(Oh, my.)
Let's work on the legs now.
(Oh, no.)
- My hamstring. - Stretch out your arms.
Oh, no.
(He's putting pressure on.)
Okay.
(Gosh)
Let's do some squats and lunges.
- Why are we doing squats? - We should.
No way.
We have to.
Can we turn on the air conditioner?
(Let's see here.)
It's 5, 6, 7, 8... It's 34.8.
34.8 inches.
Give me 10 full squats and 10 half squats.
(She starts with squats.)
Give me 20.
One.
Two.
Three.
(Get bigger, my hips.)
One more.
Okay. Let's do half squats now.
It's 30kg now.
This should be a good exercise.
One.
(30kg is pretty heavy for her.)
(She's starting to frown.)
There you go. Three.
Four.
(She's breathing heavily.)
Let's do two more. One.
- Oh, my knees. - Last one.
Get down.
Okay.
(She finishes doing the squats.)
Gosh.
Are you starting to sweat?
(I can't believe I did squats with an empty stomach.)
Get some water.
I think I'm going to die.
(What should I do? I think my heart is broken.)
(She manages to catch her breath.)
Let's do the usual.
You don't have to put more weights on.
(She looks like she's about to pass out.)
This is lighter than the usual.
- This is the last one, right? - It's only two-thirds of the usual.
- It's the last one? - Yes. This is the last one.
Let's get started. Give me 10.
- I need more rest. - No way.
(Hurry up.)
Give me 10.
Are you starting to sweat?
I'm sweating bullets.
You should turn up the air conditioner.
Let's go.
One.
(She's doing squats with 40kg weights.)
Let's go.
Two.
Don't lean to the left.
Five. Harder.
- I'm dying right now. - There you go.
Seven. Go all the way up.
I'm a bit obsessed with my hips.
No matter where I go,
I'd say that the hips make a woman.
Nowadays, technology has advanced...
and body-shaping underwear are evolving.
But, you can't do anything to help with the hips.
The hip-shaping underwear look very unnatural.
When men and women don't work out their hips,
they don't look as good dressed in pants.
That's why I'm usually obsessed with my hips.
Today was even worse.
Let's do the last one.
Go all the way down.
- I can't. - Okay, good.
I can't do this any more.
I'm starting to get irritated.
I think you'll get sick from working out after so long.
I might not be able to do the show today.
(She looks like she'll end up on a ring rather than a runway.)
This is what we're going to do.
Let's get started.
What's wrong with you today?
This is the usual routine.
No way.
Come on.
(Hye Jin is a good girl.)
This is frustrating.
Let's go.
(They're doing lunges.)
Let's do lunges.
- It's your favourite, right? - What?
- I know you love it. - Stop lying.
It's my least favourite.
Let's go. One.
(She starts doing lunges.)
- Four. Raise your head. - I can't.
Five. Six.
Two more. One.
Focus on your abs. Last one.
Okay.
You can do this.
Let's do one more. Okay.
Why did I say I wanted to do this?
You'll do 20, 15, 12, 10 and 8.
Lie down here.
(She's full of regrets and covered in sweat.)
(Moaning)
(This will make her hips explode.)
Stay on your feet.
- Let's go. - Save me.
Let's go. Slowly.
Two.
Don't move your feet. Five.
Go down slowly. Six.
(Wait for me, my dress.)
10.
Don't lose your balance. Eight.
Let's do two more. Nine.
Last one.
Hold tight.
Oh, gosh.
Gosh.
Let's go with 40kg this time.
Let's do 10 with 50kg.
(She succeeds.)
Working out on the day of the fashion show...
doesn't give me a dramatic change,
but I've been working out for a long time...
and I had to take special care...
of my backside.
I know that it's better than not working out at all, so I went.
Good job.
Why don't you measure it again?
I want to, but I can't get up.
Gosh.
(I'll help you up.)
I can't feel my legs.
(I don't feel anything below the waist.)
I bet it got bigger.
(Did it have an effect on her body?)
That's a lot.
- It reads... - It's 35.4.
It's 35.4.
Good job.
This is nice. I wish it'd be like this every day.
It just takes 30 minutes.
Every day?
(I can't do that.)
The important thing is doing it constantly.
(Her hips got bigger, but her body is aching.)
Oh, my hips.
I'll massage the calves.
(Massaging)
It's tense. Is it because you wear high heels?
(Her calf muscles are rock hard.)
I'm exhausted.
I don't think I can do the show today.
I'm the last person to do the walk. All they'll be watching are my hips.
- I'm the last in line. - Oh, really?
- Yes. - Where's the show?
It's at Dongdaemun Digital Plaza.
You should've sent me an invite.
- You want to come? - Yes.
- Do you want to go? - What time is it?
It's at half past six.
- Half past six? - Yes.
You should come, but there won't be any seats.
I'm not going then.
Don't come. You'll make me nervous.
I get nervous when people I know come to watch.
That's it.
Thank you.
Good work.
(I feel good.)
Time to show off my hips.
Show it off at the show.
(Wiggling)
It'll stay that way until half past six.
- You think so? - Yes.
I certainly hope so.
- I'll call you later. - Good work today.
- Thank you. - Bye.
(Why is she walking like that?)
Oh, my legs.
(Why is she walking like that?)
I don't think I can walk down the runway.
(She gave up the ability to walk in exchange for bigger hips.)
Gosh.
(She looks uncomfortable.)
(She makes it back home.)
(Modelling is all about walking. What should I do?)
I stick out my hips without even realising it.
What should I wear?
(The fashion people and celebrities come together at the show.)
(It's the biggest event in the fashion industry.)
(I can't just throw something on.)
Leather is the way to go.
(Her choice is leather pants.)
(Today's Outfit: Fashionable leather pants)
Should I wear a sweater?
I'll try on a sweater.
(Today's Outfit: A sweater to tone down the pants)
My hair might be a mess after.
(She takes a hat in case she needs to cover her messy hair.)
(How will she look in those clothes?)
Is it hot or is it just me?
This is strange.
I should take a look.
(She checks herself out.)
It's a bit mild.
(She looks at herself in the mirror for a long time.)
I think it'll be hot out.
I should change into lighter clothes.
(Today's Outfit: Change into a silk blouse)
That's much better.
I worked out way too much.
Are my hips standing out too much?
(Are my hips standing out too much?)
I think I need to wear a jacket on top.
(This sure is a difficult decision to make.)
My, oh, my.
Leather all the way.
(She wears a leather jacket with the leather pants.)
Leather it is.
Is this too much?
(Spinning)
Is this way too much?
(I think I should put on the hat as well.)
Am I wearing too much?
(She throws the hat away.)
(She's thinking hard.)
I think I need to put on the shoes as well.
(Hye Jin puts on her shoes in her room.)
Am I wearing too much leather?
(Leather shoes)
I'm covered in leather.
I look American.
(She's a fashionable Texan.)
I look like I have leather mania.
When I take it off, it looks like this.
(She checks how she looks when she takes the jacket off.)
When I put it on...
It looks nice when I put it on like this.
I like the way it looks now.
It's not bad.
Maybe it's a bit too much.
My hips...
should stand out, though.
(Her biggest concern today is the way her hips look.)
Gosh, I'm hungry.
(She's more worried about what to eat.)
A banana, a banana.
This is...
(She takes the banana out, which is rich in vitamin B.)
Mulberries.
(Mulberries are great for recharging energy.)
Is there anything else?
(She's so hungry.)
Gosh, I'm hungry.
A half...
or a whole banana?
Just enough to prolong my life.
(How much amount of mulberries will she put?)
Mulberries.
(She puts only a spoonful of mulberries.)
I'll add a bit of blueberries.
(Blueberries are rich in fibre.)
(She takes out many different kinds of frozen fruit.)
(She puts only a spoonful of blueberries.)
(Then, she adds her special ingredient.)
(It's protein supplement.)
(It maximises the effect of her morning workout.)
(She takes out a bottle of pills.)
(She adds vitamins.)
(Pouring)
(The top model's healthy juice is almost ready.)
(She blends everything with a blender.)
(Blending)
I can smell it.
(She pours it in a bottle to go.)
(Let's taste it.)
It's nice and sweet.
I'll pack my stuff.
Gosh, this is leather again.
My goodness.
Gosh, it's leather again.
For goodness' sake.
Seriously, it's a problem.
I'm a leather maniac.
(She fixes the way she looks in her leather jacket.)
Let's go work. I better wear high heel shoes.
Did I put on too many items with leather?
(The top model's runway is coming soon.)
(This is Sleepy's house with Pyuri.)
Pyuri.
Eat, Pyuri.
Eat.
(I don't want to eat.)
You should at least have breakfast.
(Pyuri is fed up with the same menu every day.)
(Something drops in the fridge.)
There's nothing to eat.
(There's nothing to eat.)
I'm sick of eating the same thing every day.
(He always drinks protein shake.)
(He got the dining table after hosting a wedding.)
It's no use having a dining table...
because this is the only thing I eat.
(Sniffing)
(Sleepy is having his main dish.)
Gosh, it's tasteless.
(My internal organs hurt.)
It's all because I don't have a stove.
There are only speakers.
(Speakers are placed on a stove's corner.)
Pyuri, you're also fed up, right?
I should make something delicious for you.
(I want warm rice.)
Should I go get a gas stove today?
(A gas stove?)
Since I've been on I Live Alone,
I got so many messages. People wanted to help me out.
I have no other choice.
The ramyeon will all melt if you put it on top of this don't you think?
I don't have any pots.
(He only has water bottles in the fridge.)
My goodness.
Some people actually sent me some canned ham.
I got a pot, too.
I got a lot of gifts.
Someone even said...
that she'd give away her gas stove.
In order to express my gratitude,
I'll go visit her.
Hello.
(He sends a message politely.)
The gas stove...
I'll make you something delicious once I get the gas stove.
(He's staring at his phone.)
There's a baby in her profile picture.
She must have a grandchild.
She must be a bit old.
She doesn't live in a metropolitan area?
Where do you live?
Icheon?
(Icheon, the city known for delicious rice?)
Icheon?
(She lives in Icheon.)
Icheon is so far from here.
I can't even drive.
(He doesn't know what to do.)
Pyuri, I need to go to Icheon.
Stay home for about two hours.
(Don't pretend to be weak and be back soon.)
(Let's take a shower.)
I better look good.
I should look like a celebrity.
(I should look like a celebrity.)
(Before meeting the generous lady,)
(he washes himself.)
(He now looks like a celebrity.)
How do I look, Pyuri?
How do I look?
(You look good enough to get the gas stove for free.)
(He wears his sunglasses in front of the mirror.)
I totally look like G-Dragon.
(Totally GD)
(G-Dragon is going to be rich.)
I'll be back. Watch television.
(Bring the gas stove carefully.)
(Sleepy goes to meet his benefactor.)
(Will he go to Icheon by foot?)
(He's got a car?)
(How does he have a sports car?)
Let's go.
A few months ago,
my friend lent me this car.
He said that it brings good luck.
It's about 16 years old.
He said it's important to heat up the car in advance.
Sometimes it takes about 10 minutes for it to warm up.
(He picks his nose.)
Is it warmed up already?
(It's warmed up enough to go now.)
Okay.
(Let's go.)
(He leaves to get the gas stove.)
(Icheon is about 70km away from Seoul.)
("Barehanded" by Sleepy)
(Look at me)
(Getting a gas stove for free)
(You can always turn up the heat)
(It's a sad song that provokes others to give things away for him.)
(Don't curse at me with such mean eyes)
(I won't steal anything)
(I'm barehanded)
(He drives cheerfully.)
Sleepy, Sleepy
Come to your senses, Sleepy
(It seems he'll get something to eat.)
Chicken skewer.
Can I try a big one?
(He tries sweet roasted chestnuts.)
(He takes a bite of sweet hot dog.)
I better get a gift for her.
Hello.
- Nice to meet you. - Do you have...
something for an elderly woman?
What's the most popular one here?
This is a mixed tape of the most popular songs nowadays.
This one has all the popular songs in the past.
Give me the old one.
(How about us?)
- How much is it? - It's 15 dollars.
- Could you give me a discount? - Our prices are fixed.
- Really? - Yes.
(You're a very frugal man.)
(He drives again after getting some gifts.)
(West Icheon)
I've arrived, I've arrived.
(He finally arrives.)
Okay.
(Sleepy looks like a celebrity once again.)
Okay, okay.
(He checks the gifts once again.)
A hat, a CD and roasted chestnuts.
I'm nervous.
(He reaches the flat feeling nervous.)
I'm nervous.
(His heart races.)
(What kind of person is she?)
Hello.
(He strikes a pose to look like a celebrity.)
Hello.
(Nodding)
(Finally!)
- Hello. - Hello.
(She's the generous lady who'll give away her gas stove.)
- Nice to meet you. - Likewise.
You're so young.
I got married when I was young.
You look younger than me.
(I thought she would be in her 50s.)
The gas stove...
Since she has an extra gas stove that she doesn't use,
I thought she was married for a long time.
She also had a picture of a baby.
I thought she would be quite old.
That's why I got a CD of trot music.
However, she seemed 5 or 6 years younger than me.
I was flustered.
Hello.
He's greeting me. Nice to meet you.
- There are a lot of people here. - Hello.
Hello.
- Hello. - Did you say hello?
(She was in the middle of her meal with her friends.)
(There are several babies in her house.)
(Nice to meet you, Sleepy.)
Nice to meet you.
I got you some gifts.
I actually thought you'd be quite old.
I got them at the service area.
The guy told me this one is the most popular.
- My father-in-law would like it. - Really?
He said this is the most popular one.
Here.
These are roasted chestnuts.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
I tried some samples, and they were delicious.
- I also brought my album and a fan. - Wow, thank you.
I should've brought some more.
Yes, go back and bring more.
I'll send some more by parcel.
Thank you.
How did you...
Could I take a look at the gas stove?
It's placed at the balcony.
How did you contact me?
How did you come up with such courage?
Why did you contact me?
It's just that you looked so shabby.
It's actually a bit heavy, though.
(She's more straightforward than he expected.)
Let me do it.
Let me carry it. I work out.
But your hands are shaking.
Wait, it's because I didn't hold it right.
(She's very straightforward with her expressions.)
Are you really giving this to me? It looks so nice.
Yes. There was already another stove when we moved here.
Thank you so much.
I have some other things for you.
- I'll leave it here for now. - Okay.
(Are you serious?)
This one.
(Did she prepare another gift?)
- A potato peeler. - A potato peeler...
- You can peel potatoes with this. - I love peeling potatoes.
Gook Ju scolded you not to buy it.
- Scissors and a cutting board. - A potato peeler.
You don't even peel potatoes.
- I do peel potatoes. - No, you don't.
You won't even use the cutting board that often.
You didn't buy these to carry pots, right?
You're right. I didn't get them.
They're amazing.
I really need them.
Do you eat at home?
I plan to from now on.
- Here's marinated radish, - Seriously?
- jangjorim and pickled cucumber. - Are you giving me side dishes?
- Are you serious? - Do you like...
- quail egg jangjorim? - This one's my favourite.
- Thank you so much. - Sure.
- Don't go get makgeolli glasses. - Makgeolli glasses.
Makgeolli glasses.
Have a bottle of makgeolli with Gook Ju later.
Thank you. I'm going to eat well now.
Is there anything I can give you?
Should I rap for you?
Sing a song, a song.
A song?
(You ruined the mood, so you better brighten it back.)
(He transforms into a celebrity.)
(Good boy.)
You look great.
(What did I do wrong?)
It's a song with a hook.
(Everyone looks away.)
(What did you do wrong, Sleepy?)
(He came barehanded, but he'll leave with his hands full.)
(The ad hoc concert is a bit of a mess.)
(Good job, Sleepy.)
(He performs to express his gratitude for the gas stove.)
- Sleepy! - Sleepy!
- Sleepy! - Say what?
- Sleepy! - One more time!
- Sleepy! - One last time!
- Sleepy! - Sleepy!
- One last time! - Sleepy.
- Scream! - Yes.
Scream!
(If you keep doing this, I'll cry.)
(The chaotic performance ends.)
Thank you.
(He goes home with the gas stove.)
How do I open the door?
Can you open the door for me?
I can.
I'm sorry.
(He moves slowly with his weak legs.)
- Thank you. - No problem.
Take care.
- I'll use them well. - Sure.
- I'll write a review. - Sure.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
(Thank you, my benefactor.)
(His body shakes from carrying all the stuff.)
It's good that I parked nearby.
My goodness.
(Gosh, it's heavy.)
It's bigger than I thought.
(Loading everything in the old car is difficult as well.)
I wonder if they'll fit.
Okay.
(He succeeds in loading everything in the car.)
(It'll take so much time to get home.)
Let's go home quickly.
(He arrives home after two hours.)
Pyuri.
(Pyuri, I'm home.)
We have a gas stove now.
Pyuri.
You've been waiting for a long time.
(It was hard to get them.)
Pyuri, Pyuri.
(My back hurts.)
There are some side dishes.
Let's place it on the counter.
(Let's remove these speakers first.)
(Finally!)
(It's what he's always been dreaming about.)
Pyuri.
Let's cook.
(He's been dreaming about getting a gas stove.)
(Humming)
It fits, it fits.
It fits just right.
(It seems everything's working out so far.)
Would it work if I plug it in?
Why can't it reach the plug?
(He pulls out the gas stove.)
Should I use it like this?
What? It's blocked.
It doesn't fit.
My goodness.
(Something's weird.)
I better look it up.
(He looks up on the internet.)
How to connect a gas stove?
Must I connect it?
It costs 30 dollars for the installation?
(It's a fortune for Sleepy.)
(He ends up calling gas stove installation service.)
We'll connect you to a representative.
(What should I do with it?)
My name is Choi Mi Kyung. How can I help you?
It's just that...
I'm trying to connect my gas stove, and the pipe is blocked.
- I see. - Can you send someone now?
It won't be possible to install today.
Can't you send someone today?
No.
I have to cook now.
You should've requested the service in advance.
Due to other previous requests, we can't install it today.
We can send someone tomorrow, though.
My gosh.
- Tomorrow, tomorrow... - Yes, tomorrow...
All right.
Have a great day.
Have a good day.
Thank you.
(Shocked by the gas stove, he stumbles.)
I thought once I connect the hose and unscrew the valve, it'd work.
Because there's a gas valve in my kitchen.
I found out that I should've called in the morning...
or the day before.
Gosh, I would've starved if I didn't get the side dishes.
I'll dip it in gochujang.
(The generous lady saved my life.)
This would be enough.
(He sets the table with the generous lady's side dishes.)
I have six side dishes.
Gosh, it's hot!
(Finally, I get to eat rice.)
Thank you for the food.
I need to take a picture.
Seaweed.
(His table is filled with love.)
It's my first meal eating at home.
I better send the picture.
Thank you for the gas stove.
(He sends a picture of the gas stove placed in his kitchen.)
They say that I can't have it installed today.
(He keeps her posted.)
(I'm now having a meal with the side dishes you gave me. Thank you.)
(He continues to eat.)
(He enjoys his meal.)
(Her side dishes are delicious.)
They're not bad.
Since I recently started living alone,
I didn't know how to enjoy eating.
However, I'm trying to change myself right now.
I better install the gas stove soon...
and make some food.
I'll also ask my acquaintance...
to get me a rice cooker.
I'll make delicious rice...
and eat well from now.
(I'll show you how I live well.)
Without the side dishes, I would've starved again.
(He realised how heartwarming it is to eat at home.)
I'm hungry.
It's been a long time since I had a decent meal.
(I'm looking for a rice cooker.)
Be careful.
You're so pretty.
(There are many celebrities who attend this show.)
I'm in a hurry.
Spray a lot, please.
(This runway is totally different from others.)
(We'll show you the reality behind the stage.)
(She has the charisma of a top model of Korea.)
(A day in the fashion week of a veteran model)
I haven't sung for such a long time.
(Kian84 had been asked to sing at a wedding.)
(I can't sing high notes.)
(I'm out of tune.)
(He practises hard to be different this time.)
(He even bought a new suit for the occasion.)
(Will Kian84's event be successful?)
