This week's story on Rainbow Club.
Lee Soo Kyung is an actress and it's been 14 years since her debut.
It's surprising to see an actress in this manner.
She never comes out from her living room.
I live like Peter Pan.
She's attracted to toys that elementary kids like.
She's a positive girl who makes others happy.
Caution, she's unpredictable.
It's Soo Kyung's cheerful single life.
(She makes herself look like a criminal.)
Also, here is a single who is ready to go.
They left to meet someone feeling excited.
Kian84 reunites with Lee Mal Nyeon who became a breadwinner.
He tries to be a nice uncle to his niece.
Give it to uncle.
(Give me a bite of cotton candy.)
(She gives him just a tiny bit.)
Rising star Lee Si Eon returns home in glory.
He goes to Busan where his parents are waiting.
You're not a guest today.
You have to do this all.
I Live Alone, "Here are single guys ready to go".
Don't be discouraged even though you're alone
It's good to be back.
(Si Eon's back in his hometown Busan after a long time.)
(He goes straight to an ATM as soon as he arrives.)
(He gets allowance for his parents first.)
(He hurries back on his way.)
(He suddenly calls someone.)
- Hello. - Where are you, mom?
I'm in Jwacheon-dong. Where are you?
I've just arrived at Busan Station.
Then go pick up your dad first...
and come to Jwacheon-dong.
(Si Eon's on his way to pick his dad up as his mom told him to.)
- Hi. - Hi.
Can you please go to Industrial Supplies Market.
(He stares.)
I think I've seen you before.
I'm not that kind of famous person.
(He laughs.)
(Passing along the familiar roads,)
(Si Eon arrives at his dad's workplace.)
(Was it here?)
(Was it over there?)
(It's there.)
(It's been a long time since he visited here.)
Dad.
These are my friends.
- Is it Si Eon? - Yes.
(Dad's with his friends.)
(It's Si Eon's dad, Lee Hyun Soo.)
- You came here straight from there? - Yes.
(He feels awkward among his dad's friends.)
You're in a suit.
I dress up like this every day.
- Do you have any water here? - It's here.
(He looks for water since he feels awkward.)
It's been a long time since I visited here.
You bought this vest when I was in middle school.
(He has worn this for 20 years.)
Don't you recognize...
this friend of mine?
When you were born...
- Yes. Long time ago. - When you were born...
- Gyeongju Bomun Lake Resort... - He used to bring you there.
He won't be able to remember since he was a baby.
- It's been such a long time. - True.
That's right.
It's been a really long time.
Where did that...
- friend go? - Who?
(Dad tries to bring somebody again.)
You've seen him before.
He's my friends son. Come on in.
Who is he?
You've seen him before. Don't pretend you don't know.
- Say hi. He is same age as you. - Really?
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Take a picture together.
(He suddenly takes a picture.)
Since you came down to Busan,
give me your autograph.
- Give him a big one. - That would be good.
(He didn't expect to sign his autographs here.)
- Take a picture with me, too. - That would be good.
Sure.
- How do we take a picture? - With a cellphone.
With a cellphone?
Yes, the cellphone.
Take a picture with the cellphone.
(He even holds his own autograph.)
Where is yours?
It's here. Let's take it with mine.
(He feels awkward.)
(The autograph event continues under dad's hosting.)
Thank you.
I'm busy, too.
I need to sell stuff.
(He's feeling awkward.)
Okay. We'll take a picture.
Let's go out for a second.
(They are on their way out.)
Let's go.
Dad.
(He's embarrassed.)
This way...
(He's already making his way.)
They're all...
Come here.
(Fans are all gathered.)
- This is a friend of mine. - Nice to meet you.
I've seen you a lot on television.
I've seen him a lot.
(It seems like he's a superstar.)
(He naturally takes a selfie.)
- Can I... - Please take the picture for us.
Can I also take a selfie with you?
(Take a selfie with me, too.)
Thank you.
Let's go this way.
It's been such a long time.
My son is here.
- We're here to say hi. - Hello.
(He feels proud of his son.)
(But the son feels awkward.)
You have to go there as well.
After saying hi to everyone here.
Isn't he your son?
- You know my son, right? - He's an actor.
- He's my son. - Okay.
(He feels very awkward.)
(The dad even talks to people on the street...)
This is my son.
Is he?
- Hello. - Have you seen him before?
- Yes. - Where have you seen him?
I've seen him a lot on television.
(He feels proud.)
Where did you say you were going?
Let's go to the main building.
- What? - To the main building.
(They even enter the main building.)
- Why are we even coming here? - Come on in.
(It's the market labor union office.)
- Did we come here for nothing? - Go inside to say hello.
(Everyone takes a picture of him.)
Director.
- We have to say hi to him. - Okay.
Would you mind taking a picture for us?
I should've dressed up better.
You look perfect, director.
(He suddenly gets to take a picture with high-ranking officials.)
In 1, 2.
- That's it. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Have a good day then.
Bye.
- Goodbye. - Have a good day.
Bye.
(He was about to leave...)
(but he's forced to shake hands.)
- They don't seem to want this. - It's not true.
That's not true.
(His long fan meet up finally ends.)
Goodbye.
Some people who shook hands with me were forced by my dad.
(Some people who shook hands with me were forced by my dad.)
Some people seemed as if...
they don't recognize who I am.
(They didn't recognize who I am.)
(People are lined up in front of his dad's store.)
Even your writing is nice.
(He's embarrassed.)
(They're left alone.)
(Silence remains unlike a few minutes ago.)
What do you do here? You must be really bored.
I am.
You know how the economy is bad.
Shopping centers are too quiet because of that.
There were many cars going around...
but it's not like that any more and it gets me worried.
(Dad talks about his worries.)
Did you buy this?
No. I brought it from home.
I make money from that.
(They talk bluntly since there are only two of them.)
Those stores of my friends...
are ran by their sons now, you know?
- You know I can't do this. - I know.
I need to retire soon.
It won't be that long.
Don't you think?
(He listens quietly.)
There's no one I can hand over this store.
It makes me feel pretty sad.
(An awkward silence remains.)
I can't retire because of that.
(He suddenly stands up.)
(He goes to make coffee since he feels awkward.)
Did you put the coffee inside?
It's already inside.
I won't be able to make good money from this.
- It's better not to do this for me. - These days,
everyone's selling stuff online.
You can find everything online.
It makes things even harder for us.
(He breaks the silence.)
I got you some allowance here, dad.
Use it well. Don't drink alcohol.
Please stop drinking.
You got me...
so much money.
It's not that much.
I'll use it well.
Please don't drink with that money
Old men drink a lot.
You're making an excuse.
There's nothing to do but drink when I'm with my friends.
That's a nonsense excuse.
He's just a Busan man.
He's a typical, blunt Gyeongsang-do man.
But we talk a lot.
When he talks about those stuff,
there's nothing I can do about it.
All I can do is my best in my field.
I have to make a lot of money.
I might be able to let him feel more comfortable when I do better.
(They leave the store.)
Let's go.
(They're on their way to where his mom is.)
(An awkward silence remains in the car.)
I brought a box of apples.
- To where? - To your grandmother's house.
She can eat fruits though.
Since it's hard to chew, she grinds it with a spoon.
(She has to grind it since she has a hard time chewing.)
Can she make kimchi then?
We still need to make it though.
Your aunt's coming as well.
Your grandmother can't do it by herself.
(They gather at his grandmother's place since it's kimchi making day.)
(His hands are full of kitchen goods necessary for making kimchi.)
The weather is so good.
(They walk along the old alley...)
(that leads to Si Eon's grandmother's house.)
- Hey Ttori. Mom, I'm here. - Si Eon, you're here.
- Is Si Eon here? - Hey Ttori.
- Aunty. - You came a long way.
- Grandmother. - Si Eon, lift this for me.
Wait a second.
I missed you Ttori. Where do you want me to put this?
Here.
Let me tell you about this house.
They've been living here before my mom went into elementary school.
This house is more than 60 years old.
I used to live in that room when I was in high school.
It reminds me of old memories.
(It's a very friendly view of the kimchi making day.)
Can you put that plastic bag over here?
Do it, Si Eon.
You need to put Ttori away...
since we have to get rid of his fur.
Come here, Ttori.
(Dad takes Ttori away.)
(Ttori stays outside today.)
Stay here.
I brought some jelly for you mom.
I love that.
Open it.
This is a photo book, not jelly.
A photo book?
Here's your jelly, mom.
You don't need jelly when making kimchi.
- I'll put it here then. - Good.
- Our son... - Do you want some jelly grandma?
is on a television commercial now.
I can live in comfort now.
For sure.
However, why is your house still so dirty, Si Eon?
No one could live like that.
(Si Eon's house was revealed before.)
(He became a representative of all dirty guys.)
I cleaned it a lot.
- I was embarrassed. - When he visits Busan,
he always tries to go back to Seoul very soon saying that...
he has to clean up his house.
Why didn't you clean up your house then?
I cleaned the house.
Gosh.
You need to get rid of that dirty image.
I agree. You really need to if you want to get married.
(He pretends he's not listening.)
Do you still keep in touch with Lee Jong Suk these days?
I never did.
(Since he filmed a drama called "W" with Jong Suk,)
- It is alright, right? - You should have...
Gotten an autograph from Jong Suk.
Would it be nice if I acted the role of Jong Suk's?
- You're taking Jong Suk's role? - Yes.
You don't look good enough to act a handsome character.
His voice is amazing.
He sounds so sweet.
Didn't she ask you for Jong Suk's autograph?
- She did. - I didn't know he was that hot.
- His character was amazing. - That's right.
I love him. He became such a man.
I love him so much.
- Get me his autograph. - Mom, it's your allowance.
- Whose is this? Mine? - Yes.
- That's nice of you. - Sorry aunty.
What is it?
- You get it from your son, aunty. - My son?
She's helping us making kimchi.
I'll keep it for you.
- Its for you grandma. - He'll give me sometime later.
- I'll keep it for you. - Don't say such things, dad.
- I won't do that. - Don't let dad keeping it for you.
I'll keep it for you.
- Don't give it to him. - I'll give it back to her.
I will.
(He protects mom's money from dad.)
Si Eon, bring that cabbage...
and break it in half.
- I don't know how to do that. - You want me to cut it?
He's good at it. Learn from him.
Teach him.
He's even better than me.
It's heavy.
Yes. Since it's heavy, you have to move it.
You cut it like this.
Put the ones that we'll eat here.
- Is this right, mom? - You cut it this way, right?
Cut it in the middle.
- It's already cut in half. - Just like that.
(Cut it in half...)
Is this the right way to do this?
(and pile it nicely.)
Let's see.
(He does it well as he was taught.)
Do it well.
Like this.
(Mom and aunt are seasoning the kimchi.)
This is the most important part.
(The homemade kimchi is completed.)
I will cut that part.
What's this?
That's a photo album of the stars from the drama "W".
- Do you have Lee Jong Suk's photos? - Yes.
Why do you talk about Lee Jong Suk...
- instead of your own son? - Give me his autograph next time.
- I don't keep in touch with him. - Why don't you start from now on?
- He's almost like a stranger to me. - I read news articles about him.
He's been doing some design works.
- I know all about him. - Design works?
Jong Suk used to be a fashion model.
All you think about is Lee Jong Suk, not your own son.
- Right? - Yes.
- You should think of your son. - He designs clothes lately.
Please stop it.
Do you hear me?
My goodness.
Mom, what should I do now?
Let's have you put in the stuffing.
Put some stuffing in this bowl. Si Eon, you sit here.
Try not to leave any spot like this.
Apply the sauce thoroughly like this.
(Although it's his first time, Si Eon is doing his best.)
Making kimchi is a lot of work.
It's hard, isn't it?
How is Shim Hyung Tak from "Real Men"?
- He seems a little peculiar. - I'm close to him.
- Shim Hyung Tak. - Oh, no.
(Hyung Tak appeared on "Real Men" with Si Eon.)
He's very nice.
- He seemed like a nice person. - Yes, indeed.
Is he planning to get married soon?
No. He isn't.
He's not going to get married?
- Does he want to live alone? - He needs a lady to get married.
- Does he not have money? - Does he not have enough money?
He would get married if he has a girlfriend.
How would I know?
Why don't you find out?
You're close to him.
He'll take care of himself. He's 40 years old now.
- Is that so? - Is he 40 years old?
- He has such nice skin, right? - Yes.
Stop chattering and finish it quickly.
Your dad must be bored.
I am.
Go to your room and take a nap...
if you don't want to help us.
Our son came after a long time and is helping me.
- Help me put the sauce... - Shall we put them here?
Please put some sauce on here.
- The sauce? - Yes.
- Wouldn't that be better? - You're right.
(The work is getting done little by little.)
(They're making kimchi with their hearts even though it's hard.)
(Seeing kimchi in the containers makes you feel full.)
It's stuck here.
Now, let's...
(They're done making kimchi with 30 heads of cabbage.)
I'll go bring Ttori.
Ttori.
Come on. Let's go in. Good.
Mom, why didn't you use this?
You bought this.
This is...
Let's go inside.
(They're done cleaning, too.)
Dad, you should tie Ttori up here.
It's not good.
My goodness. Good dog.
Did you just stand up?
(Si Eon's grandmother made suyuk...)
(and grilled hairtail.)
(She prepared a meal while they were making kimchi.)
(A hearty homemade meal is served.)
(There's crispy kimchi that's freshly made...)
(and suyuk that can't be missed on a kimchi making day.)
Let's eat. I'm hungry.
(Thank you for the meal.)
(Si Eon takes a piece of suyuk with kimchi.)
It's hot.
It's delicious.
(She makes a vegetable wrap with suyuk.)
Food tastes better after hard work.
- That's cut thick. - Okay.
- This one is thin. - You can have it.
- I cut this thin. - Right.
Here you go.
Si Eon, try this. I put a piece of meat in here.
(She made a vegetable wrap with meat and oyster.)
This is a Korean-style meal.
(I'll have a taste of it.)
Please enjoy.
Si Eon helped to make kimchi today.
Okay. I'm enjoying it.
You can think of him whenever you eat this kimchi.
Right.
(Although he talks bluntly, he says heartfelt things.)
I'm so full.
I forgot about the photo album.
What's this?
I haven't seen this yet.
(He brought the photo album for his mother.)
- Let's take a look. - What photos are there?
There are photos of Lee Jong Suk.
Lee Jong Suk?
- Is there his autograph, too? - I don't think so.
(It's a gift for his mother who likes Lee Jong Suk.)
Are the photos from the drama "W"?
- Lee Jong Suk. - Photos from "W".
Let me take a look.
They're not my photos.
- It's Lee Jong Suk. - It's Lee Jong Suk.
- She knows him, too. - I know him, too.
- How does she know him? - She watched the drama.
Get an autograph from him next time you see him.
I told you I'm not friends with him.
Seriously.
(She seems happy to see Lee Jong Suk's photos.)
(It's a photo album of the actors at the filming set.)
- It's in there. - Oh, dear.
There's no picture of me.
There are only photos of Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo.
There was no scene where the three of you played in, right?
You didn't film any scenes with them.
- I think that's why, right? - Right.
There are photos of each episode.
(There must be at least one photo of Si Eon.)
I can't find any photos of me.
(There are no photos of Si Eon.)
(He's upset.)
Wait.
(Finally...)
This is my hand.
(No one else would recognize his hand.)
That's my hand.
That's your son's hand.
There's a picture of my hand.
There's no picture of me.
(There's only a photo of his hand.)
Here it is.
Oh, right.
Goodness.
(I thought there was no picture of me.)
They can't treat my character like this.
I worked so hard on playing this character.
There's only one photo of me.
There could be more.
Let's clean up and go.
I should go now.
When will you come again?
I'm happy that you have a lot of work, though.
The national holiday is coming soon.
- I'm happy he became successful. - Right.
I'm happy for him, too.
Si Eon made it much easier to make kimchi today, right?
(Si Eon had a productive day visiting his parents.)
(The Rainbow Live)
- It's good to see you again. - It's good to see you all.
It's December. At this time of year,
the members of Rainbow Club feel lonely.
I feel lonely all the time.
- Don't you feel even lonelier? - That's right.
As our members must feel lonely,
we prepared a special event for them.
It's "Rainbow Club Members' Friends Special".
You can call it "Friends Special".
- That sounds great. - I see.
Do you have any friends you want to invite?
I'd like to invite Youn Yuh Jung.
- It would be so fun. - Please invite her.
- We'll get the highest ratings. - Exactly.
I'll try.
- It won't be easy, though. - I hope you'll succeed.
Okay.
Hye Jin, what about you?
- Me? - Yes.
I don't have any friends.
I guess the rumor was true.
(She's embarrassed.)
- All my friends are married. - I see.
- If that doesn't matter... - Some must've gotten divorced.
- Not yet. - I see.
Not yet? Are you expecting them to get divorced?
Someone might.
Guys, be single again.
Please find a friend to invite.
- Okay. I'll try find one. - Okay.
I invited my friend as the first guest.
- You did? - Yes.
- I guess your friend is a guy. - I guess so.
- No. It's a girl. - Really?
Now, let's meet her.
- She's a friend of mine. - Okay. I'm excited.
Come on in.
- Come on. - He's speaking casually to her.
My neighbor.
- Hi, Soo Kyung. - Hello. Hello.
- What's your name? - It's Hwa Ran.
Who are you?
(She gave a great performance in "The War of Flower".)
I'm his girlfriend.
(Her eating scenes stimulated the viewers' appetite.)
(She's playing an important part in "Father, I'll Take Care of You".)
(She's Actress Lee Soo Kyung.)
It's nice to see you.
- Did you... - Hello.
- ask her to deliver food? - No. I didn't.
- How much is it? - I've never seen a guest like her.
- It's 50 dollars. - 50 dollars?
- Please sit in the middle. - Okay.
Please come. It's nice to meet you.
It's nice to see you, too, Mr. Kim.
- I haven't worked with her before. - Hello. It's nice to meet you.
- I finally met you on I Live Alone. - Exactly.
I'm happy to meet you finally.
- What's all this? - I bought some food on my way here.
It's fun to have some snacks when people gather...
to watch something together.
- So I bought some snacks. - That's so nice of her.
- She's so considerate. - I'm grateful.
She's just as I heard.
She bought too much.
- We'll be too full. - I'm always free-handed.
- It's still hot. - I saw something colorful in here.
- That's bread. - It's a traditional Korean snack.
- Look at this. - Goodness.
- I really like this. - You shouldn't block the camera.
- It's a traditional Korean snack. - That's great.
- It's from Geumnam Market, right? - Yes.
Did she really buy all this herself?
She bought it at the market in our neighborhood.
- I'm glad you like it. - Let's eat together.
Okay. Thank you for this.
- You're welcome. - Thank you.
- You all must know her. - Of course.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, everyone. I live in Geumho-dong like Hyun Moo.
I'm Lee Soo Kyung, the cutie from Geumho-dong.
How adorable.
Are you two really close?
How did you two meet?
It's rare for entertainers to meet actors.
There's a cafe in our apartment complex on the second floor.
A lot of celebrities go there...
- like in a TV station. - It's like a reception room.
- Exactly. - Many celebrities live there.
When I met her for the first time, I thought she was very pretty...
but a little cold.
- Me? - It was just your first impression.
Right. Most people would think that way.
I was completely wrong about her.
- She's down-to-earth. - She seems so...
- now that I've met her. - I think he's interested in her.
Are you interested in her?
- Me? - Yes.
We know each other too well now.
- You don't have feelings for her? - No.
- You two know each other too well? - Yes.
- I'll tell you more later. - Okay. Let's eat up...
- before it gets cold. - In short, she's down-to-earth.
- I'll tell you more later. - Okay.
- Let's watch her video first. - Okay.
Okay.
Goodness.
(It's 10:30am.)
(They enjoy the snacks while watching the video.)
(Soo Kyung is still sleeping.)
(You can tell Soo Kyung is clean by looking at her kitchen.)
- It's good to eat while filming. - Right?
- It feels like we're home. - We've never done this before.
Has no one done this before?
No one has done it. You're the best.
(Cute decoration items are placed in her house.)
(However)
(Her bed is empty.)
(Where is Soo Kyung?)
(She's sleeping on a mattress in the living room.)
- Why? - Look at her.
Why do you sleep in the living room?
I always fall asleep while watching TV,
- but I don't have it in my bedroom. - You can put one in the room.
(She yawns.)
(There's a bed instead of a sofa.)
I do the same.
I sleep in the living room to watch TV.
But you have a TV in your bedroom.
Yes. But it feels different...
She even knows that he has a TV in his bedroom.
That's right.
- There might be her toothbrush. - When I visited his house,
he insisted on giving me a tour of his house.
We're going to move in together soon.
Why would you make your eyes like that?
I tried to look charming.
My goodness.
- They might become a couple. - No.
- We won't. - Then, we should keep this...
- to show when they become a couple. - No.
- I understand how she feels. - They really are close.
(She wriggles.)
Oh, my.
(She seems like she had a good sleep.)
(She gets up.)
(She puts a hairpin in her hair.)
(She sprays something.)
What are you doing?
- She must have rhinitis. - What are you doing?
- She has rhinitis. - Yes. I have rhinitis.
- I see. - Yes.
(She rubs her eyes.)
(This is how she looks like when she's home.)
Did you see how she stepped on her blanket?
- It's hers. No one would care. - Right.
(My goodness)
(She goes straight to the kitchen.)
I wish I could turn back time
(Soo Kyung picks up a mysterious tool.)
It looks delicious.
(She presses down.)
- You should be careful. - Who would use it like that?
- I can't seem to use it properly. - Put it on a chopping board.
I thought you were unclogging the toilet.
Transform into a middle-aged woman
Transforming, yes
Transform
(She bites on it.)
(She cuts a grapefruit in a unique way.)
(She presses down.)
- Is there a machine like that? - My acquaintance gave it to me.
(It spins.)
I used to run many businesses such as cafes.
I got the juicer from someone.
As my business failed,
I had to move the equipment out.
It reminds me of a bad memory,
but I'm still using it at home to enjoy fresh juice.
- Is it a juicer? - Yes.
- It looks nice. - I use it at home.
It's done nicely.
My goodness.
- You're drinking it like a coconut. - That's right.
(She goes back to the bed with the grapefruit juice.)
(She steps on the blanket.)
(Please stop stepping on it.)
It seems nice to decorate the living room like that.
- It looks comfortable, right? - Yes.
- I use the space like a studio. - Exactly.
- It looks comfortable. - It's large and nice.
(Soo Kyung looks as if she's living in a studio.)
(Bread tastes good when you eat it on the bed.)
(She opens the drawer.)
(She's holding the bread in one hand and a wet tissue in the other hand.)
(She takes care of everything within a one-meter radius.)
(Shall I read my script?)
I feel lazy.
(What shall I do today?)
(She enjoys her time relaxing.)
(She never leaves her bed.)
(Shall I watch TV?)
(What is her favorite TV program?)
She watches TV the most among my friends.
That's "Atashin'chi".
- Do you know that? I love it. - Yes. It's very funny.
He's cute.
(She looks so relaxed.)
(She gets up suddenly.)
(She searches for something on the internet.)
(Is she watching an animation on her phone, too?)
What are you watching?
(She's focused.)
That's my favorite show lately.
It's Kwon Hyuk Soo's show.
(She giggles.)
(She's lying on the bed.)
I like cartoons.
Oh, my goodness.
Doesn't he look so adorable?
- Is his show that funny? - Yes.
(She's lost in watching the show.)
My goodness.
(What happened to this beautiful actress?)
(She looks like an ordinary girl.)
(She laughs hard.)
You laugh like that in real life, too?
I love his show.
(She giggles.)
(Soo Kyung doesn't seem to go anywhere else.)
(Now she starts exercising in the living room.)
(She groans.)
- Go away, belly fat. - She's amazing.
Keep breathing, ma'am.
Oh, okay.
Keep breathing.
You can do that only when you're alone.
- Is that appropriate for a TV show? - I do that only when I'm alone.
Hye Jin, it's okay because it's not a real horse.
- You're so cool. - Goodness.
(Hye Jin is embarrassed.)
I should practice my lines.
(She underlined her lines.)
"What were you thinking?"
What is she doing?
- It helps improve your diction. - Exactly.
- It helps a lot. - That's right.
"You just came back. How could you sleep?"
"Hey!"
(She practices hard.)
Can you understand me?
You can't, can you?
I can't stay focused.
I should shop for groceries while I have time.
I like cheonggukjang. Let's buy two of it.
I bought milk and...
Oh, right. Zucchini.
Zucchini. Let's buy one.
I'll cook a meal for my friends when I take a break.
It'll still be fresh then if I buy it now.
"Did you say you want to kill me?"
(She changes her face suddenly.)
What's going on?
Why are you saying that?
"You want to teach me a lesson?"
"You want to kill me?"
(She's so scary.)
- Oh, kimchi. - They're your lines.
- Yes. I'm practicing my lines. - You scared me.
Really?
"How dare you think of hurting me?"
Why would you practice your lines while shopping?
I think she's really distracted.
How does she do that while shopping?
I feel like I'm losing my mind.
"Did I steal your money or hurt you?"
(She dropped the script on the floor.)
"People fail sometimes. It's nothing to be ashamed of."
That's good. Try to understand your lines.
You can understand the meanings.
I need some avocados.
I hope they'll send me ripe avocados.
"My shopping cart".
- I have 46 items. - In your shopping cart?
- It's 365 dollars? - It's because she was distracted.
No, no. I should take some things out.
Take this out.
"Choose" and "Delete".
You don't want to be deleted?
No.
I should watch her drama.
(She's a character.)
Delete this.
It's 96 dollars now.
Let's place the order.
"Order".
It's done. Right?
It's done. Now, let's...
(Shall I practice again?)
Shall I do this first?
("Self Hypnosis to Improve Your Concentration")
What's that book?
It's a book of self hypnosis...
that helps to improve your concentration.
She does so many things at home.
(I'll memorize all my lines using this book.)
You look scary.
"Put your left hand on your head..."
That's scary. It startled me.
I thought it was a walnut.
- I thought it was body fat. - I thought it was intestine.
Does it help?
- I've been doing this for 10 years. - Really?
- Does it help? - Doesn't it mean that doesn't help?
(She yawns.)
I think I lack concentration.
I'm a little distracted.
One minute I do this, and the next, I do something else.
I don't want to be distracted when I practice my lines.
I do it to improve my concentration.
I've been using that book for almost 10 years.
I've never seen anyone who scratches the ear in the interview.
She really is distracted.
(She's more distracted than anyone else they've seen.)
I won't do this any more.
I look really distracted even when I watch myself.
(She struggles.)
It's so heavy.
(Receiving a parcel is the most fun in life.)
My back hurts.
I just moved it from there, and I'm exhausted.
I should do something about this.
Wilson, you don't have any problems, right?
(I have too much belly fat.)
It hurts so much.
My back is killing me.
(She opens the pocket.)
(It's a waist support with a pocket for a heat pack.)
Get warm quickly.
I hope it gets warm.
(I hope it gets warm.)
(She puts on the bandage.)
(Shall I open the package?)
(She rips the tape.)
(This is the happiest moment.)
I thought I only bought two of these. Did I order more?
- Did you buy them online? - That's right.
- Although you live alone, - It's heavy.
you bought a lot as if you have a whole family living with you.
It's cheaper to buy in bulk and buy them at once.
That's true and you don't need to pay for the shipping.
That's right.
(It was a reasonable purchase.)
(She organizes them neatly in the utility room.)
Time flies. Then...
I'm ready as long as I don't have anything in my eyes.
What else do I need to do?
My back hurts.
(She looks more like a grandmother than an actress.)
She even sounds like a grandmother.
That's what grandmothers sound like.
I've put my bandage on.
First, I need to go and make...
- citron marmalade. - It's an actress' closet.
As you can see, she has a lot of outdoor jackets.
They're all jackets.
Even though I have a lot of clothes, outdoor jackets are the best.
- That's right. - Yes.
I'll go after I put on my jacket and gloves.
(She still has her bandage on.)
It's perfect.
Great.
It's more than perfect.
(It's more than perfect.)
She's going out with the bandage on?
(Will Soo Kyung the actress be okay?)
Usually 5 or 6 year old children step and walk over the blankets.
They get scolded by their mothers.
This is the first time I saw a woman do that.
(It's a culture shock for her.)
I'm sorry to ask, but you're in your 30s right?
If she was your friend, you would scold her, wouldn't you?
I wouldn't have such friends.
But this sort of friend...
- Wait, aren't you younger than me? - I don't think so.
- Me? - Yes.
- I'm a year older than you. - She's older.
She's older than you.
She's a year older than you.
I told you I was going to go easy on my makeup.
- Let me take off these earrings. - She's flustered.
It's not the first time I saw that outfit.
It looks similar to what monks wear.
I really like their outfits.
Do you have more of those outfits? Or do you own only one?
- I only have them in gray. - In gray?
- You have more than one. - I have a couple in gray.
- I see you like the color gray. - It's so you can alternate them.
I have them in gray because I can put them either...
with black or white clothes when I do my laundry.
- What do you mean? - She puts them with other laundry.
- You can wash it with other colors. - No. It's not true.
Gray clothes can't be washed with white clothes.
- Really? - Is that so?
I didn't know that, too.
- It's my first time hearing it. - Same here.
Wait, I am confused now.
Look at her face. She looks like she can't believe what she heard.
- She'll kill us if we were related. - Right.
(She'll kill us if we were related.)
(She's going to a market in this freezing weather.)
- Why don't I go to a market? - I've seen this before.
- You're going to a market nearby. - Yes.
It's freezing today.
- Gosh. - I've seen that outfit before.
(She goes out with no makeup...)
(in her comfortable clothes and in fuzzy shoes.)
Should I buy lemon or grapefruit marmalade.
- People usually wear the hat. - That's right.
- They wear the hats at least. - She walks around like that.
I can't wear the hats.
- Why? - You feel stuffy wearing them?
- Yes. - I see. You feel stuffy.
She fits in nicely though.
- Right, don't I? - You do.
That looks delicious.
(What is she drooling over?)
Should I have one?
(It's warm bungeoppang.)
- Should I have one? - You're Lee Soo Kyung.
You're tall and pretty.
Thank you.
- That looks amazing. - She's so polite.
Will it take long?
- She talks like that in real life. - Will it take long?
Right.
Then I'll come back later on my way back.
I can eat it when I'm making my way back.
I'll be back.
I've arrived.
(Where is she going with her smile on?)
- It's a stationary store. - Yes.
(She's checking out the newest editions of funny books.)
- My goodness. - I'll get this...
- They still sell those. - because I like him.
I feel as if I went back in time.
This must be fun.
Where is the thing I saw before?
- Where is the dice? - You're buying toys?
- Yes. - You're buying them willingly?
You want to take them home?
(She's rummaging around the shelf.)
I've given this a lot of thought and I think...
I have the Peter Pan syndrome.
I fear getting old and I don't like it.
So I want to do things I used to do when I was a child.
It's fun for me.
It's one of the happy memories I have.
That's why I keep repeating things I used to do when I was young.
I should've bought it.
(A toy she's been looking for is...)
This is it. This is the slimy monster.
- Slimy monster? - Why would she buy that?
(She looks very serious.)
- Do you have more slimy monsters? - Is that it?
- It's all sold out. - Really?
What's wrong with you?
You're so weird.
I came here to buy that.
(All the children must have bought them all.)
I really want to buy one.
What can I do for fun then?
(What can I do for fun then?)
- You were sad because of it? - Yes.
- How do you play with it? - You just touch it.
Why would you want to touch it?
- I mean I get bored. - Does it relieve stress?
Then put some walnuts in your hands.
- People do that, too. - You should to that, not me.
- Why would I do that? - I mean...
I don't get what you're talking about.
I bet slimy monsters will go viral.
(I bet slimy monsters will go viral.)
When will you have the slimy monsters in stock?
- Tomorrow. - Tomorrow?
- Okay. Goodbye. - Goodbye.
- What shall I do? - She's like a sister I lost.
I'll be back.
- I want to take her home. - Take her home.
I want to take her home and give her a hat to wear.
She looks so cold.
Her long neck isn't helping.
- I think after this episode airs, - Yes?
- I'm sure the company of the toy... - Right.
will send her at least one hundred of these slimy monsters.
No. I'm sure she'll shoot a commercial for them.
- A commercial? - Slimy monsters, slimy monsters.
- She'll say she likes them. - It'll be on a cartoon show.
You must be the oldest customer who visits the stationery store.
(You must be the oldest customer.)
- Isn't she? - I mean...
- I must be. - She's a customer that buys.
She's the oldest one who plays with toys.
- She's the oldest. - I'm sure children play with them.
Yes. That's why I go there quietly.
You were pretty loud though.
It was as if you were greeting the whole neighborhood.
- She's cute though. - Right.
Citron. I need to buy citron.
(I forgot something.)
It's bungeoppang.
(It's bungeoppang.)
Excuse me, is it ready?
- It's ready. - Why do you talk so loudly?
She can hear you just fine.
- You talk loudly. - Goodbye.
- My voice is really high-pitched. - Yes. It is.
(She manages to buy bungeoppang.)
What are these?
(They are eels.)
- Are they eels? - Yes.
I have a lot of eel extracts.
- They have one side effect. - What is it?
You get too pretty.
I should drink a lot of them, then.
(One side effect is people get too pretty.)
Have a good day.
(She's feeling great.)
(Her next stop is the fruit stand.)
How much is the citron?
Could I get a bag?
Please select a good one for me.
- Goodness. - Why did I talk like that?
I picked a pretty one just like you.
(She's laughing.)
I'm blushing.
Thank you.
Goodbye. I hope you sell a lot.
(She happily finishes her shopping.)
I need to finish it and get ready for a lesson.
- Lesson? - Did you say lesson?
In a drama I'm appearing,
I play the role of a composer and a guitarist.
But I can't sing very well.
I thought I would have to sing once in a while.
But I have to sing every episode.
So I go to a singing lesson at least twice a week.
Even though I'm not a talented singer,
I try my best.
(She gets ready for her lesson.)
(What is this?)
- What is she doing with her hair? - Are you plucking your hair out?
- Why do you tie your hair that way? - What is it?
That's one of the methods I use when I'm in a hurry.
(She heads to the bathroom.)
No way.
(She's in shock.)
- She's washing her hair? - No way.
Are you only washing your front hair?
- Yes. - Why?
What do you mean why? It's because it's dirty.
Why can't she wash the entire hair?
- It takes long to dry. - It takes a lot of time to dry.
- Women have long hair. - We have long hair.
I don't do that though.
My hair.
(She prefers to live a reasonable life.)
(She shampoos her hair at least.)
Is it to make her front hair smell good?
It's close to her face.
I hope it's all washed.
(I hope it's all washed.)
(She glances at herself.)
It's washed nicely.
(She's satisfied.)
It's perfect.
(One doesn't get to watch an actress wash her hair like that every day.)
This feels so refreshing.
(This feels so refreshing.)
You don't always wash your hair like this, right?
- It's only when I'm in a hurry. - When you don't have time.
I mean, wasn't I right?
You only did it to make your hair smell nice in the front.
- Not your back. - If I don't wash the front hair,
- my hair will look oily. - You fix up your hair afterwards.
- It's not to have oily hair. - Right.
But it still smells.
- Doesn't it? - Of course.
The top of the head smells.
(It's time to dry her hair.)
(She dries it.)
(Her hair flutters like seaweed.)
(She takes something out.)
(It's a roll brush.)
(She fixes up her hair and dries it at the same time.)
You blow dry your hair too?
You dry it with a blow dryer?
(Since I decided to wash it, I make sure I finish my job.)
(Singing)
She even sings.
(I look fresh.)
That's not hygienic.
She's something we've never seen before.
That's amazing.
- She's a neat person. - This really is something.
(She lets her hair loose.)
She looks like she just went to a hair salon.
It doesn't look like she only washed part of her hair.
It's all mixed together.
- It doesn't show. - It's a mixture of old and new.
- That's right. - It's a camouflage.
I'm sorry, Hyun Moo. I did that a lot when I met you.
I knew that.
- Did it smell? - I haven't lost my sense of smell.
She's a strange celebrity.
Nice.
(She puts on a scarf.)
Let's go.
Who are you talking to?
To myself.
It's so cold.
(She arrives at a college campus.)
It's so cold.
- Where's that? - It's where I take lessons.
(She arrived at the practice room with hot coffee in her hands.)
- It's so cold. - It is.
I got you some coffee.
Thank you.
The song we're going to practice...
- requires singing techniques. - Oh, no.
This might be difficult for you.
I'll get better if I practice this one really hard.
- Right. - I'll practice.
You have to practice really hard.
You'll get better then.
(This is looking grim.)
Let's listen to the song once before we start.
(It's a sentimental ballad song.)
Do you practice with a pre-recorded version?
Yes.
It's like that.
There are many sixteenth notes.
Keeping the tempo is difficult.
(It's a difficult song because she has to sing off beat.)
(Worried)
Let's do a single verse first.
- Let's do this part. - Okay.
In 1, 2, 3.
(Where on earth...)
(are you?)
When you sing, "Where on earth",
don't sing with a staccato.
Just let it slip.
Like this.
Where on earth
You got the last part right.
Can you do it one more time?
That's right.
Doesn't it look funny when I do that?
It does, but you're doing it right.
Where on earth
That's it.
In 1, 2, 3.
(Where on earth...)
(are you?)
(The tempo is missing.)
I should always clap when trying to find the tempo.
"You're the One" by Park Jin Young.
(Something has to be done to find the tempo.)
In 1, 2, 3.
Find the tempo and then clap.
That's it. Like a metronome.
(Stiff)
Clap. Nod. Nod.
- Nod. - Nod.
Nod.
Oh, my. You have no sense of rhythm.
And stop moving so much. I can smell your hair.
Can you let it slip, Hyun Moo?
Keep going.
Your shoulders shouldn't stop moving.
I have to move my shoulders?
In the army, there's always that one person who walks like this.
- Even some models are like that. - It drives me crazy.
I know.
No matter how much they're scolded at, they don't change.
There's no solution to that.
You know what I'm talking about, right?
This is the first time I'm seeing someone learning that.
It's not that hard of a tempo.
The fact that she has to learn it is...
That's how you do it.
It's supposed to come natural.
It just happens naturally.
(Try it.)
(Oh, my.)
You're driving me crazy.
I'm so embarrassed.
In 1, 2, 3.
(She tries over and over again...)
(to perfect a single verse.)
(Soo Kyung spends her afternoon practicing hard.)
I don't think...
the director knew how bad of a singer you are.
He should probably just...
give you a different role.
Wouldn't that be better?
- She's getting a new role? - That should be for the best.
I didn't get that many scenes where I have to sing.
- I see. - He gave up on you.
(That is a very wise decision.)
I see.
I try to do my best in given situations.
- But you have a nice tone of voice. - She does.
She has the tone of a Hongdae Queen.
A queen who can't sing.
(She came to a restaurant nearby after the singing lesson.)
- Hello, brother-in-law. - What?
Hello.
(She enters the place looking cheerful.)
- I bought that octopus for you. - Oh, really?
- We even have abalone today. - That's great.
Take a seat.
Thank you.
- That's a big octopus. - It is, isn't it?
- Oh, my. - Eat up.
This is amazing.
It's so could outside.
I know. It was really cold this morning.
It's cold in my bones now that I'm old.
Who are you calling old?
- My bones are just fine. - Do you know how old Mr. Kim is?
(She's a toddler compared to Mr. Kim.)
- I'm here. - Seon Kyung!
- Welcome. - How did work go?
- It's cold out, isn't it? - It's really cold.
I know.
My sister will cook us something delicious.
- What? - Octopus.
She's making me healthy food for my stamina.
Were there any lawsuits today?
- You mean a trial? - Yes.
It was scheduled for 2pm, but it got postponed.
(Soo Kyung and Seon Kyung often hang out together.)
Now that I moved to a new home...
What do you want me to get you?
(Let's see.)
A man?
Do you know anyone you can introduce me to?
How's Hyun Moo?
Jun Hyun Moo.
- He lives close by. - He's...
He's capable.
He's too famous.
Hyun Moo probably likes...
smart and professional women like you.
We didn't discuss any of that. Thanks for being my wing man.
We should meet together.
- You think so? - Yes.
- I'm hungry. - Eat up.
She's not saying anything.
The conversation ended there.
- She doesn't like me. - No.
When she stopped talking about me in front of food, it was over.
That looks good.
I put in lots of abalone for you.
(Octopus, pork, and abalone)
(It's a nutritious dish.)
(She wraps the lean pork...)
(with some octopus.)
Didn't you go somewhere nice?
I did.
(It's savory, chewy, and flavorful.)
It's delicious.
(After a bite of spicy tteokbokki,)
(she eats the pork.)
They're not talking about Hyun Moo at all.
Why aren't you saying anything?
You're scratching your head because you didn't wash your hair.
- That's true. - She's being careful.
- She's poking it with her nails. - Well, I was eating.
Hello.
- Hello. - You should've told me about this.
(Shim Hyung Joon, photographer)
He looks familiar.
He directs photography and music videos.
He lives in my neighborhood.
He was the one who took the pictures for the Moody Calendar.
Should I set Seon Kyung up...
on a blind date with Hyun Moo?
(Embarrassed)
Hyun Moo's very lonely these days.
That's good.
- Eat some of this. - She's a lawyer, too.
She makes a lot of money.
- Her sister's an actor, too. - Who is she?
Yoon Jin Seo.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
(They do look very similar.)
They look alike.
Her friend is too good for you.
Do you think Hyun Moo would make a good husband?
What do you think?
I don't think he'd be that bad. He doesn't drink.
It's the only thing he doesn't do.
That's the only thing he stays away from.
Oh, gosh.
That's the man we've been looking for.
He's such a jerk.
Gosh.
- Should I give him a call? - Call him.
He might be working.
(She's calling Hyun Moo.)
I wonder how it went.
(It's an ancient ring tone.)
That ring tone.
I should change that.
- He's not picking up. - He must be doing a shoot.
(He must be doing a shoot.)
I was.
You're always shooting except when you're sleeping, right?
I talk to cameras more than I talk to people.
(I talk to cameras more than I talk to people.)
Seon Kyung would be a good and wise wife.
I'm a bit immature.
She could be Hyun Moo's wife.
- Right. - Hyun Moo's wife?
That's funny.
She could be.
We might not be able to see you on this show any more.
Maybe if things work out between us.
Why don't you set the two up?
Would that make it a love triangle?
That's the funniest thing I've heard this year.
- They must be just friends. - I guess so.
- I see. - We're just friends.
(She had a good time with her friends.)
Friends are the best.
Friendship is the only thing that lasts.
It's so heavy.
You do a lot of shopping online, don't you? That's just like me.
Coming home to find parcels delivered makes me happy.
(That's true.)
(I can lift this.)
In 1, 2, 3.
(She uses a doormat.)
(Dragging)
It's so heavy.
- Are those groceries? - Yes.
(Grabbing)
Green onion.
That's doenjang.
- In 1, 2, 3. - You need a man to lift things.
It's so heavy.
- I have to do it myself. - She kicked the door open.
Wait, I have so much to do.
Doesn't it feels nice to have a lot of things to do at home?
That's right.
But there's too much to do,
so I am the busiest when I have nothing scheduled.
- Will you make citron syrup? - Yes.
Is it Hyun Moo?
(She runs quickly.)
("You called me.")
Let's give him a call.
- What's up? - Hyun Moo.
Hyun Moo, you've ignored way too many calls of mine.
- I was working. - Really?
I don't ignore women's phone calls.
(Laughing)
At least you're honest.
A while back,
I ate out with my friend.
She told me that she's so lonely.
Hyung Jin suggested that I should set you up up on a blind date.
If she's lonely, I better console her.
- It's winter. You're lonely, right? - I am.
I'm eating sundaeguk with men right now.
I'd like to be there.
(I know you didn't mean that.)
- Forget it... - Yes?
and set a date.
She's planning on a housewarming party next week.
She's a great cook, and she's pretty.
She's a prepared good wife for you.
A good wife for Hyun Moo, that's amazing.
(Hyun Moo's voice is very lively all of a sudden.)
What does she need at home?
She needs a man.
He's so happy.
She'll hold it whenever you have time.
I'm free today.
- Indeed. - Tell her right away.
What about next week...
on a day when you finish early?
I'll finish my work early.
He's fidgeting.
Mr. Kim.
That was so crude.
- Was it? - Yes.
Since I've known you, you're most adorable today.
(Hyun Moo laughs out loud.)
- Wait. - I'll see you next week, Hyun Moo.
- Bye. - Have fun at work.
I will.
- Did you meet her? - No, it was only a while ago.
Why didn't you meet?
Do I have to meet a woman whenever somebody suggests a blind date?
Let's go.
(She cuts citrons.)
My goodness,
do I have to take all these seeds out? Unbelievable.
There's more to throw away than to eat.
- There were so many seeds. - I'm afraid you'll cut your hand.
There are still many seeds left.
- More seeds seem to appear. - There are so many seeds.
(There are still a lot of citrons left.)
I might have to do this all night.
Why are there so many?
My mom also has a very open hand when she cooks.
My parents taught me...
that I should give a lot to have the favor returned.
- They told me many times, - Gosh, when will you be done?
so seeing my friends and people smile...
makes my day.
I guess I'm a philanthropist.
(I guess I'm a philanthropist.)
She's laughing because she finds herself ridiculous.
(She's embarrassed.)
(She hums.)
She loves giving. She loves people.
- She loves sharing with others. - That's right.
I love sharing food with others.
- My goodness. - She's too nice.
All right,
let's get ready for December.
- Christmas carols. - What is December preparation?
I change my home's decor a little bit.
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and child
- Has the tree been there all year? - Yes.
- What? - It stays there all year long?
(Even if there's dust, it seems nice like the snow.)
(She drags the tree.)
You're very light.
(She carries the Christmas tree with all her strength.)
She's not dressing it, she's just taking it out.
- She's moving it. - She's moving it.
- She's rearranging her furniture. - Gosh, it's pretty.
My goodness.
(It's perfect here.)
What fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
- My goodness, her bottom. - What is she doing?
- She can't reach the outlet. - Oh, dear.
(It's so hard to reach the outlet behind the television.)
Gosh, I'm embarrassed.
- Her waist... - I almost mistook her for a looper.
She's so flexible.
(Good)
(She rushes to turn off the lights.)
(She's excited to see her Christmas tree.)
Let's worship him
(She sings joyfully.)
Gosh, it's pretty! Isn't it pretty?
It is.
(It's perfect.)
I feel great.
In order to keep this vibe...
(Is she looking for another Christmas decoration?)
Should I have champagne?
- I don't feel like something sweet. - Good.
What a nice vibe.
(Let's see.)
(She seems drunk already.)
(She's got a variety of alcohol in her fridge as well.)
(My goodness.)
- She's a lot like me. - Beer.
I love collecting alcohol.
- She loves drinking alone, too. - You collect alcohol?
I do.
I made citron syrup,
so let's have citron beer.
(It's important to serve beer in a nice glass.)
(I'm excited.)
(She goes to her favorite spot.)
(Gulping)
It's ale.
(She finds her beer refreshing.)
It must be delicious.
(Even though the weather has become cold, winter is exciting.)
(Let's see the night view of winter.)
- Gosh, it's cold! - What a surprise.
Was anyone outside?
Were you speaking to the person?
No, she was shouting towards your house.
- "It's hot!" - "It's hot!"
Is that what you said?
It feels like I just saw a cult movie.
- It's fun. - It's fun.
You lead a busy life while being adorable.
- She's nice with an open hand. - I see.
I always knew that she loved giving.
- What is it? - I...
What is it?
- brought my citron syrup. - You brought them for us?
My goodness.
Mr. Kim first.
- Thank you. - How nice of you.
- It's because you use your voice. - Thank you.
- What a nice gift for the year-end. - Hyun Moo.
Thank you.
I'll make citron tea with it.
- Is it good? - Thank you.
I've never received a homemade gift.
- It smells nice. - It does, right?
- Thank you. - Thank you.
We've never had such full table...
for the Rainbow Live.
How amazing. Thank you.
Set him up on a blind date before the end of the year.
- All right. - Will you really go on a date?
- What do you think? - The girl likes him.
- But... - I'm grateful.
If you feel a bit uncomfortable,
- call me. - Hold on.
Then I'll be super uncomfortable.
- How disappointing. - What I mean is...
- I thought I might be of help. - What I mean is...
- I'm afraid it'll be more awkward. - You think so?
I've known Soo Kyung for a long time,
so her footage wasn't as shocking. She's very easy-going.
I can't believe that there could be someone like her in today's world.
- I agree. - She's so innocent.
She totally deserves to be loved.
- That's right. - Her personality is very likeable.
It'd be nice to get a daughter-in-law like her.
- I see. - I'll feel comfortable with her.
She washes her fringe only, though.
She spends all day at a stationery store.
- She likes slimy monster. - She buys slimy monster.
She wouldn't need a lot of money.
I just need to get her a few slimy monsters.
Slimy monster.
- She'll have fun with them. - Her fringe wash and slimy monster.
We'll root for you. Thank you.
- Thank you. - It was nice to meet you.
(The Rainbow Live)
(An apartment in Seoul)
(Kian84 walks towards the entrance.)
Which building was it?
(Did I come to the right building?)
(I bet this is the right building.)
He opened the door without a response.
(He arrived at his destination.)
(He rings the doorbell.)
(Where did Kian84 go?)
- Come on in. - Hello.
(Does Kian84 have a big brother?)
(Wait. It's him.)
(His unique cartoons have captivated netizens' hearts.)
(He's the first one who drew people with their names on the foreheads.)
(He is the popular webtoon artist, Lee Mal Nyeon.)
- Have you eaten? - Excuse me?
Food.
- Let's eat haejangguk. - You want to eat out?
My stomach doesn't feel good. Let's order it.
I barely order food for delivery.
Do you have anything to eat at home?
- I want Chinese... - I don't have a lot of coupons.
I only have some for pizza and jokbal.
If you keep eating this stuff,
you'll turn like this.
(They laugh out loud.)
You'll turn like this. You gained about 15kg, didn't you?
- I'm okay. - No,
this isn't the end.
- I'll gain more weight? - This isn't your final destination.
You're right in the middle of the process.
(I miss my figure in the past.)
I'll order it.
They have all kinds of stuff.
- They'll deliver food here? - Of course.
- Hello. - I'd like...
Napa cabbage gamjatang. Does rice come with it?
Yes, would you like two bowls of rice?
Yes. We'll pay by card.
- All right, thank you. - Thank you.
(He quickly orders food and his rice.)
I better clean up once I'm done eating, or your wife will get mad.
- She won't get mad. - She won't?
No, but she'll secretly dislike you.
- That's even scarier. - She doesn't reveal her emotions.
Mal Nyeon and I...
made our debut at the same portal site.
We became close,
so we rented a semi-basement flat in Sangsu-dong.
After 5 or 6 months,
he told me that he might get married.
He took all his stuff and left.
Now that I think about it, I'm a bit embarrassed.
- I was a bit drunk then. - What happened?
"You know, it's really tough for me."
You were already on a roll, but I told her...
that I'm holding you back from your success.
- That's right. - Do you remember?
Your sense of inferiority was incredible.
I told her,
"Please do not ignore me."
"I'm not scared of you."
- "I'm not ignoring you." - You kept speaking incoherently.
His drawings were really nice.
Even if he drew a couple lines only, his webtoon was funny.
On the other hand, I had to imprint an image...
It took me 3 to 4 days to draw.
When both of our webtoons were posted online,
Mal Nyeon's webtoon got so many positive comments,
but mine barely got any comment.
I kept wondering about why I wasn't good enough.
I was pretty depressed back then.
You made a good decision of getting married early.
Right, if I lived there for another year,
We might have never seen each other again.
our friendship would have collapsed.
(Our friendship would have collapsed.)
I agree.
There are so many stories...
(What are you about to say?)
I can draw about you, but...
Go ahead.
- Go ahead and draw. - Can I?
- Can I, really? - Yes.
- The title of my next webtoon... - Not the strange ones.
could be "Observing Kian84".
It'd be something like Fabre’s Book of Insects.
- Like that... - Fabre’s Book of Insects.
I could draw 20 or 30 episodes.
I'd observe you.
I'll be honoured.
- Really? I'll go ahead, then. - I'll be honoured.
- I'll draw it. - Go ahead.
I won't be responsible for whatever that happens afterwards.
I could also draw a webtoon about you.
I shouldn't have said it.
(Will they each publish a webtoon that criticizes the other?)
Sounds okay. They'll bring a great synergy.
It's here.
(They both get up.)
Hello.
(Their napa cabbage gamjatang has arrived.)
(Kian84 quickly hands money to the delivery man.)
(Mal Nyeon carries food, and Kian84 pays.)
Thank you.
It smells delicious.
(Great)
This looks like my table at home.
Gosh, it'll be delicious.
(Kian84 laughs out loud.)
They give you food in disposable containers...
so they don't need to come back to pick up the dishes.
That's right.
(Slurping)
(It's nice and hot.)
(Kian84 looks up as something drops.)
What time will your wife come home?
Once you leave.
I guess she's home everyday...
taking care of your baby while you work.
That's right.
The three of you would spend a lot of time together, then.
They say that your kid will lock her door once she turns 13.
- How old is she now? - Five.
Just give her allowance. Every kid likes that.
Giving allowance...
is the classic course to locking one's room.
If you try to resolve an issue with money,
kids will lock their rooms when they hit puberty.
- Really? - "What did you do..."
"for me, Dad?"
"I do everything to raise you well."
"That's why I work so hard outside so I can make money."
"How dare you tell me such thing!"
- "Forget it, don't speak to me!" - "Seriously..."
What should I do, then?
Tell me in case So Young treats you poorly later on.
- What will you do? - I'll tell her on your behalf.
Why would she listen to a stranger if she doesn't listen to me?
A complete stranger says,
"You shouldn't behave like that."
(They both laugh.)
(Mal Nyeon nibbles while Kian84 devours the food.)
(Is Mal Nyeon counting rice?)
Why aren't you eating? Is it not good?
This is how I eat.
I'm very hungry right now.
You've always been that way.
I find the food very delicious.
Please enjoy eating.
Let's go.
(They get ready to go out after eating.)
- You must look after So Young well. - What?
She often babbles...
when she tries to be close with others. When she approaches you,
if you react nonchalantly, she'll get hurt.
I'm good with kids. Last time I saw her,
she was really young,
so she wouldn't even remember me.
That's because you didn't see her even when you came near my place.
The only person you're interested in is yourself.
I met her when we went to eat pizza.
You're most loyal to yourself.
Enough is enough.
That's enough.
(Let's just leave now.)
(Two men go to pick So Young up.)
- Where is it? - Right here.
Right here. The shuttle bus will come here.
- It'll come here? - We are...
not going to pick her up at her kindergarten.
- The shuttle bus will come here. - I see.
Do you come here to pick her up once in a while?
- Sometimes I come with my wife. - They don't drop her off...
at your apartment.
What, my apartment?
(You really have no idea.)
The shuttle bus...
The teacher would also get off and drop her off at the apartment.
- To your apartment. - The teacher?
She's here.
(Finally, the shuttle bus has arrived.)
You must look after So Young well. Make sure you respond well.
(Will So Young and Kian84 get along well?)
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello, So Young. - What's wrong, So Young?
He's your daddy's friend.
Go home safe.
- Come here. - Goodbye.
- Hello. - Goodbye.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
- So Young. - Kian84.
- Yes. - Kian84.
Yes, do you remember me?
- Do you remember me? - Yes.
(He bursts out laughing.)
I read a children's poem to you.
- Do you remember me? - I do.
- You do? - You told...
(It's hard to understand what she's saying.)
What was that?
(What did you say?)
When you want to pee, you pee?
When I want to pee, I pee and poop.
- You pee and poop? - Yes.
(Mal Nyeon laughs out loud at So Young's story.)
(Kian84 laughs quietly.)
It's amazing that she remembers me.
I saw her when she was a little baby.
I saw her once in a while when I visited his studio in Ansan.
You're the best.
(The three people came back home.)
- You're the best. - Is everyone home?
- So Young is the best. - What? Yes.
Dad, is it hard to carry me?
Yes.
So Young, you should wash your hands.
Let's wash our hands.
(I'm too lazy to wash my hands.)
My feet stink. I better go wash my feet.
So Young, wash your hands while Kian84 washes his feet.
- My feet stink. - Come over here.
I better wash my hands and feet so she won't get sick.
(He has a sense of shame in front of a child.)
Don't.
- I'll do it. - You don't want my help? Okay.
Rub like this.
Did you wash your hands?
- You washed your hands? - She didn't dry her hands enough.
- Wipe them again. - I washed my feet.
- Touch his feet if they're clean. - Mal Nyeon.
- They're wet. - They are?
It this all?
- The cotton candy. - We have cotton candy.
- Shall we have some? - Eat like this.
What do you need to do at first, So Young?
- The hole... - Give some to Kian84...
- because he bought it for you. - Let's make a hole.
- Give some to Kian84. - Give me some.
(She gives a tiny bit to Kian84.)
Give him some more. That was too little.
(I will have a lot.)
You gave him only this bit. Give him a lot.
I don't need this any more.
All right. I thought you'd poke my eyes.
I gave you a lot.
- You should have some, too. - That's right.
You're eating a lot more than I.
You're so greedy.
(Have a bite.)
I was just eating that.
(It's even more delicious because we share food.)
How is it? Is it tasty?
Be careful, or you'll break his neck again.
That's it.
- Four dinosaurs. - All done.
- It's parasaurolophus. - Parasaurolophus.
How do you know them all?
You know more about dinosaurs than I do.
She's a dinosaur expert.
Isn't this brachiosaurus?
This is tidosaurus.
Do you know that it's a carnivore?
It even eats other dinosaurs.
It might even eat people.
That's not right. It eats meat, too.
It eats people because we are meat, too.
My goodness!
(She screams out loud.)
- You hate Kian84, don't you? - Shall we play another game?
So Young, tell him to take a nap.
He's saying strange things.
(Mal Nyeon throws So Young in the air.)
Do it once again.
(This is his chance.)
- Was it fun? - Shall I give you a plane ride?
Do you want to ride a plane, So Young?
(Kian84 suggests to give So Young a plane ride.)
- Come here. Let's ride a plane. - Go on a plane ride.
- So Young. - She'll like that.
- All right, here we go. - Let's go.
- Kian84. - Here we go, So Young.
- Let's go. - Which country will you go?
- Japan. - Japan.
- Let's go to Japan. - You're flying to Japan.
- Here we go. - My goodness.
We're flying to Japan.
(So Young is so excited that she makes a sound like a dolphin.)
- It's Japan. - You arrived in Japan.
(The plane ride is over so soon.)
(He finds it difficult to get up.)
- What is this? - Her interests...
(She lost interest in Kian84 because of the short plane ride.)
- change every 30 seconds. - Gosh, it looks delicious!
- I must follow that quickly. - Here's my cotton candy.
If you can't...
- keep up with that... - That's right.
Once you're done with the plane ride, you must chase her right away.
Gosh, it's tough.
(Gosh, it's tough.)
Is this Spinosaurus?
- No. - Look at this.
- There is. What's that? - Look.
This is Mandeugi. It's what we bought awhile ago.
Mandeugi.
Right. We bought that jelly monster too.
- It's the jelly monster. - Do you like it? It's the monster.
Massage it.
That's the end of Mandeugi.
You're done with him.
- She's done with Mandeugi. - I got it.
She abandoned Mandeugi.
(Mandeugi is left alone.)
- This is really... - What's this?
- It's soft. - It feels strange.
Let him touch it.
- Tell him to touch it. - Touch it.
Okay.
- What's this? - It feels strange, doesn't it?
Can you make something with it?
I'll make a tiny snail.
(She's busy playing with the toys.)
Isn't this the tiny snail?
(Kian84 feels left out.)
I'll make a snail for you.
Don't you want to ride the airplane again?
Please pay attention to me a little.
If he gets neglected for about half an hour,
- I came here... - he gets an anxiety attack.
(He's a 33-year-old in need of our love and care.)
He gets anxious.
So Young made this.
- What do you think it is? - It's Bbareumi.
- Its name is Bbareumi. - It's Bbareumi.
That's a milk cow.
- A milk cow? - It's not a milk cow.
- What is it? - It's a rabbit.
- It's a rabbit. - Is it a rabbit?
In the back,
- there are these. - There are carrots.
- She put three carrots here. - That's why it's a rabbit.
- It's the cow's food. - It's the cow's food.
(He can't sympathize with So Young.)
His name is Bbareumi.
Daddy, let's play PriPara.
- Should we do that? - I will be Shion.
Kian84 can be Dorothy, and Daddy can be Leona. How's that?
- Okay. - Am I Dorothy?
- I am Leona. - Okay.
She's Shion.
- She's the leader of our team. - Okay.
We are twins.
- Are we twins? - Yes.
(Check it out.)
Is it fun?
That's right before she makes a debut as an idol.
There are idols too.
When they perform, their levels go up.
It's a pyramid structure.
It's like how people in the minor league go up.
Okay. I will give it a try.
(Mal Nyeon laughs out loud.)
- Look at this. - Shion,
we should practice.
(So Young is Shion, the strong leader.)
(Mal Nyeon is the shy and friendly Leona.)
(Kian84 is the fun yet blunt Dorothy.)
(Aspire to be the best idol!)
You should be performing.
(So Young's performance has already begun.)
(Mal Nyeon goes crazy.)
(Kian84 is not putting his heart into it.)
(Dreaming of becoming the best idol, So Young performs passionately.)
(He sings the theme song.)
Transform!
(So Young's fancy performance is over.)
- Shion, you are amazing. - You are amazing.
Next.
- Next is Dorothy. - Is it?
It's Dorothy's turn.
- Do I have to perform too? - Yes.
- I have to know the song too. - Recommend him a song.
Recommend him an easy song.
- Do you know this song? - I think...
- I know them all. - I think...
- I've heard them too many times. - I think this is good.
The one you sang awhile ago?
- What's that? - It's not what I sang!
- This is... - Never mind.
So Young, I will sing what I want.
Dorothy will perform now, So Young, I mean Shion.
Listen carefully, Shion.
(This song sounds familiar!)
(Dorothy chooses Big Bang's "Bae Bae".)
(In my five years of life,)
(I've never been more shocked.)
It's not easy.
(It's as if he's been possessed by the energy of the universe.)
(Have mercy on my ears!)
(We'll call the police.)
- Did he make that up? - Watch him.
Did he make that song up?
This song actually exists.
(I don't want to hear it.)
You have to jump. Jump.
(After failing to impress her with singing, he plays with her.)
I'm tired.
- Are you tired? - We're done.
Who wants to play the game of Go?
- Me! - Come and grab my thumb.
- No.Only two people can play. - Okay. Then you two can play.
- You two can play. - Let's play the game of Go.
- Have a seat. - Let's play here.
(Thank you.)
You play first.
I put 100. It's your turn now.
It's 100 plus 100.
It's 11 plus 11.
- Is it 11 plus 11? - Yes.
How much is that?
I hope I win.
You do?
What's 1 plus 3?
You are the best, Shion.
You are the best!
As soon as I met her, So Young started talking.
And she continued talking...
for six hours straight.
She just kept talking.
(He mimics So Young.)
This is this. After about three hours,
I started getting tired.
I admire all the parents out there.
You still have a lot of things here.
- Are you going to use this? - Are you going to draw?
Should I draw? It's the same.
- I should draw So Young. - So Young?
Yes.
Why do you need such a huge drawing pad?
You don't even color.
It's like putting lipstick on a pig.
It's been a long time since I used your pen.
I often used to draw with your pen.
Can you draw her without looking at her?
Of course. I've been observing her.
She's got...
your mouth.
(How does So Young look like?)
(Kian84 precisely draws So Young's features.)
Like this.
You're still annoyingly good.
Right.
You're good.
I am still in business.
- You are now... - I am a retired artist.
So Young, I drew you.
Look.
- Who do you think it is? - Me.
- How about this? - Daddy.
Daddy looks strange.
- Daddy? - Do I look weird?
I think I look exactly the same.
- Is that you? - It's me.
So Young,
you can't lock your door when you're 13.
Look at me and draw again.
You?
What does this mean? Look, So Young.
You are hanging onto your daddy here, right?
It means you have to pay your dad back when you grow up.
- Do you know what I mean? - Yes.
Okay.
It means I have to be a good girl, right?
That's right.
You can't ignore your daddy when you reach the awkward age.
How's this?
I love it.
You know how to appreciate art.
- Kian84. - Do you want to sit here?
- I... - She will try to draw.
Can I do this?
- Do you want to color? - You want to color, don't you?
- She chose the color. - This.
You can color now.
(She colors meticulously.)
- Isn't she good? - Arn't I meticulous?
- I stay within the line. - Yes.
That's important. Stay inside.
Like this.
She's using different colors.
It's because she got the smarts from your wife.
The highest score I got on mock SAT...
(He reminisces his past.)
Do you know who my mom always compared me to?
You know Rain, right?
Rain was the star of Asia.
(She compared him to Rain.)
(He wanted to avoid it.)
She could've compared me to one of his friends' son.
Why did she always compare me to Rain?
"I heard Rain did this and this to his mom."
"What will you do?"
I just believed everything she said.
I thought I was a bad son.
It's really nice.
- How is it? - Nicely done.
You did really well.
Do you want to put your signature here?
Put your signature here.
(She writes her name nicely.)
She's good.
It's So Young and Kian84's artwork.
That's right. It's our artwork.
When I get older...
Kian84 is on my back.
- Good job, So Young. - Go to the living room now.
high-five! That's it.
(It was a happy time for us.)
