This week's story on Rainbow Club.
What meets the eye can fool you.
There's a twist to their seemingly perfect single lives.
The definition of handsome, Oh Chang Seok.
He appears to be a tough guy, but in fact, he's more of a homemaker.
We get a peek at his feminine sensitivity and single life today.
Am I going?
Baby-faced actress, Uhm Hyeon Gyeong.
She's actually hopelessly illiterate when it comes to technology.
From a unique girl obsessed with giraffes...
to a good-hearted youngest daughter,
Uhm Hyeon Gyeong's single life is full of surprises, too.
(Ooh-ah, ooh-ah)
(Stop it.)
I'm sorry.
I Live Alone, People with surprises.
She drives me crazy
The body, the face, they were so unexpected
(The Rainbow Live)
- Hello, everyone. - Hello.
- It's good to see you, Mr Kim. - It's nice to see you all.
- It's good to see you. - It feels different today since...
Mr Kim doesn't often join us for The Rainbow Live.
- Is it because of Han Chae A? - It feels comforting.
I like that an acting colleague is sitting next to me. It's reassuring.
Did you two decide to come out here together?
- We didn't set this up, but... - But you knew her schedule.
I did ask around actually...
about who'd be here today.
Of course.
- In your case, - Yes.
you were once a guest, now you are here to see other guests.
- How does it feel? - Yes. It's my first time for that.
You showed us an unexpected side to your personality as our guest.
We have two guests here today with such charm.
- Please come in. - Are they Chae A's rivals then?
(A gorgeous guy and a lady walk in.)
- Hello. - Wow.
Hello.
- It's nice to see you. - Hello.
Hello, Uhm Hyeon Gyeong.
- Hello. - Hello, welcome.
Is that you, Hwang Ma Ma?
(From Hwang Ma Ma of "Princess Aurora"...)
(to high powered businessman in "Jang Bo Ri Is Here",)
Please stop this nonsense.
(Oh Chang Seok has become the heartthrob of women.)
(He has shown a tough streak on entertainment programmes.)
(Actor Oh Chang Seok)
(The legend of power slaps)
Do I need to slap her in the face again?
(She played the villain.)
(Now she's a rising star of variety shows.)
She's getting married to a bodybuilder.
(Actress Uhm Hyeon Gyeong)
- Welcome, everyone. - Welcome.
- Thank you. Hello. - Welcome.
It's nice to see you.
They make us look so ugly. They're so gorgeous.
What are you talking about? I look fine.
I'm sorry, but you look like a yellow squid.
Really?
(Wow)
Come on, let's be honest. They are very good-looking.
Please introduce yourselves.
Hello, I'm Actor Oh Chang Seok. I was born in 1982, and...
it has been about a year and four months since I started living alone.
He is very handsome.
- His face is so small. - Hello.
I'm Uhm Hyeon Gyeong. I'm 31 years old.
I've been living alone for 11 years.
You look much younger.
- That's a long time. - She looks very young.
I agree.
Don't people tell you how handsome you are? You get that a lot, right?
- He's so handsome. I was surprised. - I know, right?
- Thank you. - His eyebrows are thick.
Are they drawn in?
You mean my eyebrows? They are thicker than most people...
but my makeup artist put more effort into them today.
- Did she? - They are thick.
I work with Hyeon Gyeong on another programme.
You feel like you are a good fit for variety shows, right?
- I'm doing better than I expected. - You're doing good.
Let's show them what you've got. Show them your impersonation.
- Impersonation? - Show us "Wi Ing Wi Ing".
- What is that? - You'll be surprised.
- I've never seen her impersonation. - What is "Wi Ing Wi Ing"?
("Wi Ing Wi Ing" is the song of rising indie band Hyukoh.)
(Singing "Wi Ing Wi Ing")
(Trying to hold in laughter)
(Laughing)
I don't know...
- this song that well. - What's uncanny?
You look so confused.
Yes.
(He is confused.)
I might understand how she is feeling right now.
Anyway, we are looking forward to seeing your real charms.
- Let's start with Uhm Hyeon Gyeong. - Okay.
- Here we go. - Okay.
Samseong-dong.
(Hyeon Gyeong's place, in Samseong-dong)
(Her place looks very cosy and cute.)
Wow. She is a sleeping beauty.
That's early.
- Do you usually get up that early? - Yes, I'm a morning person.
I usually get up around seven.
Oh, I see.
(Groaning)
Where are you Pudding?
Good morning.
(Her pet Pudding)
Did you sleep tight? How are you?
Did you have a good sleep?
(Kissing)
(Oh, no!)
That's the first thing she sees in the morning.
Pudding!
This is not what you usually do.
I thought this giraffe did it.
(Pudding made a mistake on a very appropriate spot.)
It was so close.
(I was going to blame the giraffe.)
Hello.
I have lived alone for 11 years.
I'm Actress Uhm Hyeon Gyeong.
I was in high school when I made my debut...
- as a magazine model. - She hasn't changed at all.
I had to move back and forth from Seoul to Daejeon for work.
I moved for good when I turned 20. That's when I started living alone.
She's lived alone for a long time.
I think she likes giraffes.
(There are lots of giraffes all around her house.)
(They are her long-time roommates.)
(This is the first thing she does in the morning.)
Did you have a good sleep?
You look great now.
- Is that a giraffe? - She was cleaning its face.
It gets dusty over night. I need to clean up the dust.
How often do you do that in a week?
That's how I start my day.
- You do that every morning? - Yes.
You don't need to wash your face yet, since you are new here.
(This one is a newcomer.)
She is the female version of Shim Hyung Tak.
That's how he starts his day, too. He cleans his toys.
Very unique.
(There is Wilson.)
(It is their first time seeing each other.)
You don't fit in here at all. My goodness.
Wilson.
You're unbelievably big, too.
Oh, dear.
- Isn't that a giraffe hat? - Yes.
Your face is so big as well.
If you want to sit here, you need to pretend to be a giraffe.
(With Hyeon Gyeong's help, Wilson dresses up like a giraffe.)
How do you like that, Pudding?
Look at that.
Now Wilson looks like a giraffe.
(Hyeon Gyeong is now in the kitchen.)
(She is mashing boiled egg yolk.)
- It's your breakfast. - That's what you feed Pudding?
Yes, otherwise Pudding won't eat.
(She takes care of Pudding's nutrition.)
(Sneaking)
(Glancing)
Yes, you need to concentrate on eating.
You need to eat so I can start working on this.
Where was I?
You assemble Lego blocks from early in the morning?
I started it the night before.
That's way too early for Lego.
(Pudding is done with breakfast.)
(Play with me.)
I was going to work on the blocks while you eat.
You won't give me the time. Let's play.
(She is getting ready to play with Pudding.)
(What are you doing? Why are you not paying attention to me?)
Did you notice that I wasn't paying full attention to you?
(Grinning)
You're a smart puppy.
(She has to stop what she was doing.)
Show how brave you are, Pudding.
Is that your mouth?
(Hyeon Gyeong is playing with Pudding.)
I'm now in my 30s, right?
It's when your maternal instincts come to full bloom.
I want to take care of someone but I'm not in the position to do that.
So with the attitude of a new mother,
- I concentrate my love on Pudding. - I see.
I work outside a lot. So I felt I shouldn't adopt a pet...
for my own needs. Because I thought that was being selfish.
But no one wanted to adopt Pudding.
Pudding was left in a cage for five months.
It had never seen sunlight as it had never been outside the cage.
That broke my heart.
I wanted to take care of Pudding.
That's how we ended up living together.
(She is cooking her own breakfast.)
(How are you doing, Pudding?)
- That really hurts. - Oh, no.
It hurts. She just hit her finger. Didn't you hear the sound?
She hit the pot by accident.
(What is she having for breakfast?)
(Manduguk)
(Add some eggs to boiling water,)
(and super simple manduguk is ready.)
Do you like dumplings?
I'm into manduguk lately,
- so I eat it a lot these days. - Everyday?
You could say that.
- Oh dear. - Sea lavers are a must for this.
(It's Hyeon Gyeong's special manduguk.)
(Delicious)
(Hold on.)
- Maybe it doesn't taste that good. - I think so.
(Oh, well...)
(Take your time, Mum.)
Oh, I forgot something.
My wall.
What's that hole on the wall?
- I was moving furniture. - It hit the wall.
- I couldn't see the wall. - I see.
Do you own the place?
- It's a lease. - Yes.
If my landlord sees this, he will probably get furious.
You didn't tell him yet?
- No. - I see.
(She got a urethane foam spray.)
I'm going to block here first.
(She blocked the doorway for the sake of Pudding's safety.)
Put this on the tip of the tube?
Oh, like this.
These pictures are easier to understand.
(Assembling the tool was easy.)
I'm scared.
(Spraying)
(So far so good.)
(Oh, dear.)
(She failed to control the amount of the foam.)
- What now? - Oh, dear. That's too much.
- That's how you're meant to do it? - Yes. Once it hardens,
you can level it accordingly.
- I see. - I'm like that, too.
Even her towel has the giraffe pattern.
(Brushing her teeth)
(Washing her face)
(She finishes brushing her teeth and washing her face quickly.)
- She's pretty. - She looks great without makeup.
- I think she knows that, too. - She's prettier without makeup.
(Finishing up with a toner)
Oh, dear. I'm full.
(Finishing up with a toner after the wash)
(Thoroughly applying the toner)
(Facial lotion comes next.)
(Rubbing hard with facial lotion)
(Slapping her face)
(Skin toner and facial lotion are all she does for her skincare.)
(Just a dab of lip gloss on top)
Okay, finished.
Now for the hair.
(She needs to work on her hair now.)
What did you just do on your hair?
It's dry shampoo.
You spray it when you haven't washed your hair.
It makes your hair look clean.
Either way, your hair is still unwashed.
She said it makes your hair look clean.
That doesn't mean that your hair is clean.
If you have long hair,
- it's a lot of work. - Doesn't it smell?
- Is that what you did today? - No.
My goodness.
- I don't want to watch this. - I think she used the spray today.
(The foam is hard now.)
Wow, it is hard.
(She's trying to level it off carefully with a knife.)
- Is that the foam you used? - Yes.
- Wow. - It filled up the hole.
(Covering the hole with a picture of a giraffe)
She covered the hole.
- I felt I had to. - A giraffe again.
This is perfect.
(A giraffe photo exhibition)
(She continues to work on chores that she was putting off.)
(She seems handy with a hoover.)
(A giraffe doll falls.)
She is clumsy.
(Oh, goodness.)
Oh, no.
Are you okay?
Mummy is terribly sorry.
I think I'm making more dust as I hoover.
I managed to pull it.
- I pulled it hard. - What are you doing?
It was stuck.
I feel like I'm watching a monodrama.
She's fun to watch.
Oh, please.
(House chores are not easy.)
(Her bedroom light is weak.)
(It's time to change the bulb.)
(Let's see. What does it look like?)
(Unstable)
(Oh, dear.)
(She finally pulls the bulb out.)
(The light is still weak.)
(What is going on here?)
One bulb is enough. It'll be fine.
- It's scary to do that actually. - Are you scared of getting shocked?
- I'm not used to doing that. - That's right.
Don't you have any male friends who can help?
You called someone, Chae A.
- Yes, I called Park Ki Woong. - Yes, Park Ki Woong.
I do have a male friend,
but I don't feel comfortable inviting him to my place.
Who is this friend?
- I'm close to Song Jae Hee. - Who?
- We're close friends. - He probably refuses to leave.
Isn't that what you're worried about?
That's what I do with Song Eun I. She just won't leave.
I think this will look pretty.
(She is changing her bed sheets for spring.)
(Wait a minute.)
This end should go to...
the other side.
(She is going inside her covers.)
(Squirming)
(Gasping)
(Not enough oxygen)
Gosh.
(Thank goodness, I'm still alive.)
You should open some windows.
- That's true. - Yes, all that dust...
He couldn't help but nag after watching the clip.
All done.
- Lying down again? - Again?
She's lying down again.
All done.
(She's grabbing some treats for Pudding before heading out.)
Oh, your ears are so cute.
Why are you so cute?
Sit down.
(Sitting)
Okay.
Okay, I have to go now.
(As Pudding enjoys the treats...)
I'll leave while Pudding is distracted...
(Hyeon Gyeong decides to go out quietly.)
(Sneaking)
(Where are you going without me?)
(What am I going to do?)
Pudding is staring at me.
Okay.
(Hyeon Gyeong feels bad for leaving Pudding behind.)
(Rushing)
Didn't your parents worry about you living alone from such a young age?
They trusted me...
and since they gave me that trust,
I try even harder to meet their expectations.
- I see. - I try my best.
- We have similarities. - Yes.
I've lived on my own from an early age, too.
Did your parents trust you, too?
- Yes. - They didn't give up on you?
First, Hyeon Gyeong showed us a side of her life we'd not seen.
I heard Oh Chang Seok will also show us a new side.
- I heard we'll be surprised. - Really?
Yes. Let's watch.
(Oh Chang Seok's house in Gwangjin-gu)
(It looks like it's the middle of the night.)
(He has a stylish black sofa.)
It's black.
It's all black.
- It's such a bachelor's pad. - Wow.
It's very tidy.
- Shoes, shoes... - It's clean.
- He must like shoes. - He even has baby shoes.
(90s basketball stars, Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Jordan)
- That's a must-have. - Yes.
We have the same alarm.
- You have the same alarm? - The alarm?
- It's the same. - The same alarm?
Are you two an item?
(Wriggling)
(He grabs his phone without opening his eyes.)
- It's really dark. - Yes, it is.
- What are you doing? - Surfing the internet.
- As soon as you wake up? - Yes.
Lots of gossip gets posted on a daily basis.
You're reading gossip?
Isn't it annoying to read gossip in the morning?
- I agree. - Because it's not about you...
(Listening to Juju Club, the most searched song of the day)
This song is from our time.
(What a sight.)
(It's good.)
Hey, shake it and rub it
- Rub it - Rub it?
(I should get up.)
Hello, I'm...
actor Oh Chang Seok, and I've been living on my own...
for a year and four months.
I used to live with my parents...
but people in the industry would know what I'm talking about.
My daily routine didn't align with my family's at all.
I'd come home late at night after work,
and want to wash up, but I'd have to do it ever so quietly.
In my case, I had no choice but to move out.
(Flopping)
(He's watching the sports channel.)
Yes, you need to lie down when you turn on the television.
There we go.
Use Wilson as a pillow.
- Wilson is... - Goodness.
It's so comfortable. It's the best.
I don't think Wilson is enjoying it.
Miami...
(An NBA game is airing.)
He's interested in sports.
- You like basketball, don't you? - Yes I do.
Hello?
Hi.
- Hello? - NBA is on.
- Is it? - Yes.
You said it wasn't going to be on.
I'm sorry, I didn't know.
Yes, it's airing.
(I almost missed this game because of you.)
What time is basketball tonight?
From 6:30 to 9pm.
I'll be there by 6:15pm.
Okay, see you later.
Okay.
His place is really dark.
Why do you keep it so dark?
- I don't like turning on lights. - I see.
- Because of the electricity bills? - Yes.
- What? Because of the bills? - These days...
- Really. - Same with me.
It's an anachronistic way of doing things.
- Because of that? - Yes.
Wow.
(Shuffling)
(Let me see.)
Yes, one bulgogi set please.
Okay.
So he orders instead of cooking.
Was it a good choice?
Or not?
(Yes, bulgogi.)
Bulgogi it is.
Come here.
(Dumping)
Stay.
(He's so tough.)
I can show you how big men move.
(He'd rather play than watch.)
Of course, he needs to play a game.
(Bump)
Where did it hit you?
- That sounded bad. - It must hurt.
- It must have hurt a lot. - I'm sure everyone relates to that.
Of course.
Michael Jordan.
Jordan, Jordan. Okay.
- Of course it's a basketball game. - Nice shot.
- You must like basketball. - Yes, I do.
Rodman.
Foul.
Why?
(He's totally immersed into the game.)
I always talk to myself when I'm playing games.
(I can't believe my Jordan is losing.)
Forget it. I'll play something else.
(I can't watch this anymore.)
(He's switching game CDs.)
(A fighting game that swept the 90s)
- Isn't this "Street Fighter"? - It is...
- but it's the newest version. - The newest version.
Get a taste of this.
(Making fight sounds)
(You're at least 30 years old if you know this technique.)
(He became one with the game.)
That's why.
- That's why he moved out. - I know, right?
Move out if you're going to play games.
How old do you think you are?
Let's go.
(As he's immersed in the game world,)
(his food arrives.)
- Hello. - His bulgogi set is here.
It's hard to tell who the delivery man is.
- Do you have coupons? - No, we don't.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
- Bye. - Bye.
Let's set it out.
(Why do you have a cafeteria tray?)
This is the best.
(Delivered bulgogi set...)
(and side dishes from home)
(A common breakfast of a man that lives alone.)
That looks delicious.
His place is very clean throughout.
- It's well organised. - I like cleaning.
- Really? - Yes.
I saw Han Chae A's episode, and we're kind of similar.
I clean up as I go.
- Are you trying to group with her? - Yes.
Are we going to see our first couple from the Rainbow Club?
You should check the gossip page tomorrow morning.
An article about you will be up.
MC Min Ji.
Shall I eat?
- That comes up? - Wow.
- I want to buy it. - Wow.
- That's awesome. - It's expensive.
- Is it expensive? - It's expensive.
(Eating)
(Although he's eating alone,)
(Chang Seok is enjoying his food.)
(The table goes back to it's original spot.)
(Bulgogi is always right.)
(There are some left over side dishes.)
Better save it. Better save it.
(He packs up the leftovers...)
(and puts them in the fridge.)
(I'll eat it tomorrow.)
He's very tidy.
- Yes, he's so tidy. - I have to wash the dishes...
It's hard for a man's place to be that clean.
Dishes...
I should play some music.
(Today's choice is "Ugly Complex" by Young Turks Club.)
- It's an old song, from the 90s. - Yes.
- Young Turks Club. - Yes.
I have a folder in my phone just for old dance music.
I love it.
(Bouncing)
(He knows all the lyrics after 20 years of listening to it.)
Amazing.
(Now he's cleaning the sink, listening to "Sunflower".)
Oh, "Sunflower".
(Even when you're sick)
Maybe it's because he's in his mid 30s,
all these songs are at least 14 to 15 years old.
The songs are from the 90s.
(Chang Seok's playlist is as mature as fermented kimchi.)
Let's clean.
(He starts cleaning with wet wipes.)
Wet wipes are a must-have for anyone living alone.
(He's wiping places that most men often forget about.)
(Using wet wipes to get rid of all the dust)
- He's wiping the rubbish bin. - He's wiping there, too?
(This time, it's the toilet.)
(But it looks clean.)
(There's bound to be dirt here.)
Let's clean this.
- Water leaves marks... - Wow.
- Do you work at a cleaning company? - Exactly.
What's hard about living alone is...
if I don't do the housework,
no one else will.
And I don't like mess.
So I try to keep my house clean.
My aim is to keep the place as clean as it was when I first moved in.
I'm going to try and keep it that way until I move out.
I've never seen anyone who has that.
- What is it? - A duster.
- I can't clean without it. - No, you can't.
(Looking foolish)
If I must say it, I'm telling you that I love you
- Deux? - Isn't it this song?
(I live alone in the 90s.)
He's dusting his trainers.
Firstly, the shoes...
I've been collecting them for a while,
but I buy them to wear them.
I don't have any that I just want to keep.
I like those which have nostalgic value for me.
I try to collect models of such kinds.
Jordans were the ones to have back in the day.
I could say it brings back memories from when I was young.
That's how I feel.
No, wait.
My neck.
- What happened? - My head fell off.
- What happened? - His head fell off.
What is that?
It's a figure of me, I received it from a TV show I was in.
I broke it once in the past while cleaning.
This is why you shouldn't clean.
(Pressing)
(Did it work?)
Okay. Good.
It's fine now. It's alive again.
(He finished cleaning.)
Even his bed is black.
- You must like black. - Yes.
(It's time for my hobby.)
- Trainers again? - More trainers?
You must really love them.
(Oh, yes.)
(He's calling his friend while looking through trainers.)
- Yes. - Do they have a date for Uptempo?
No, I don't think they'll release it in black in Korea.
- It's not coming to Korea? - No.
That's just wrong.
All right.
- Okay. - Okay.
That's wrong.
(Men only talk about what they need on the phone.)
(Chang Seok is getting ready to go out.)
(He's washing his face as if he's massaging it.)
(Refreshing)
(Why is he using cotton pads?)
- I thought men didn't use that. - What?
I use it. I heard that it's good.
A man who cares about the T-zone?
- Goodness. - Gosh.
I heard that your fourth finger is the softest.
So when you're applying makeup...
- Like this? - I use the bits of information...
- that I've read or picked up. - That's very detailed.
- The fourth finger? - Yes, you go like this.
- Okay. - Really?
I just go like this.
You should teach her.
(Mirror mirror on the wall, how old does my skin look?)
How many do you put on?
- Is that BB cream? - Sun cream.
I think they mixed up these clips with Hyeon Gyeong's.
(There has been a mix up with Hyeon Gyeong's video.)
How is this possible?
(I love my beautiful skin.)
(What should I wear?)
- Look at his organised clothes. - They're all sportswear.
These are just the sportswear.
You haven't even taken off the labels.
(It's full of clothes that still have the labels attached.)
(He's choosing what to wear for today's game.)
White.
(Will this be okay?)
(These white shorts versus those white shorts)
Grey...
Who will it be today?
(He's torn between two white shorts.)
(They're both white shorts.)
- Are you matching the clothes? - Yes.
It's played basketball that day.
- Even your socks? - Yes, it's important.
(As soon as he's changed...)
He's well built, so he looks good in anything.
(This time,)
(it's this black cap...)
(versus this other black cap.)
(They're both just black caps.)
When I play sports like basketball,
I like wearing my sportswear.
So I usually pick out the outfit the night before.
Let's say I wore white last week.
Then this week, I would wear something more colourful.
And the week after that, I would wear all black.
It refreshes me.
You don't care as much about your regular clothes, do you?
No, not really.
Which shoes should I wear today?
- Shoes complete the look. - Of course.
High top, I choose you.
(Today, it's going to be you.)
(He looks like a sports major student going to college.)
(Like his furniture, even his car is black.)
His car is black, too.
Very masculine.
(He heads off on his black car.)
Did you pick out your own furniture?
I wanted to calm down the atmosphere with the furniture.
- You don't even turn on the lights. - No.
I never had to pay for gas or electricity with my parents.
- I didn't think much about it. - I see.
I didn't know how much it would cost per month.
- I really didn't know what's what. - I see.
I never had to pay bills before.
- It's costly, right? - Yes, it hurt me to my bones.
To your bones?
Is it that bad?
- How much was it? - I only turn the heat on to shower.
Even when I sleep,
I schedule a timer for the heat.
That's really unexpected. He doesn't look like the type.
When I get my bills at the end of the month...
and the sum is smaller than the last month,
- I feel so happy. - You get happy.
He's like me.
Aren't you two trying too hard to pair yourselves together?
They keep trying to relate to each other.
Uhm Hyeon Gyeong woke up really early and is scurrying around.
Let's see what happened.
- Okay. - Okay.
(Hyeon Gyeong is taking Chinese classes.)
(Cho Hye Sook, Chinese instructor)
- That's Cho Hye Ryeon's sister. - Yes, that's right.
- Really? - That's Cho Hye Ryeon's sister.
- Really? - Yes.
(She's focusing on Chinese these days.)
Why are you studying Chinese? Go.
(Why are you studying in Chinese?)
We'll try reading it.
(Hyeon Gyeong?)
(Giggling)
(The fruit is expensive.)
(Shuiguo hen gui.)
Wow, that was good.
(Good job.)
Many actors go to China...
and work in the Chinese entertainment industry,
so I thought it would be a good idea to learn another language.
Learning something new...
takes courage...
and it made me feel good.
- She's learning Chinese on her own. - Yes.
I think she's leading a very productive life.
- She's praiseworthy. - Yes.
You speak Chinese, don't you?
- Try to converse. - He knows some Chinese.
(What is your name?)
(I'm Uhm Hyeon Gyeong.)
(How old are you?)
- What? - Can we laugh with you?
What happened?
Why are you laughing?
I asked her how old she was,
and she answered, "Is he busy?"
She's only repeating what she remembers.
I have to drop by.
- Giraffe? - Giraffes again?
(Hello)
(The giraffe has already stolen her heart.)
Hello.
- Are these the top-selling items? - Yes.
It's so cute.
It's so cute...
but I have nowhere to put you.
My house is too small.
Do you have a lot of giraffes?
- Yes. I have most of these. - I see.
There used to be two more there.
- They've moved to the third floor. - Oh, I see.
You must frequent this store since you know where everything is.
Yes.
These are the ones. What, a sofa?
What is this sofa?
You can try sitting on it.
- Did you always have this? - Yes, we did.
It's not for sale.
- It's not? - No.
I want this so much.
(It's perfect for my place.)
(Yearning)
I want to take you home, but I don't have space at home.
I'll have to move first.
- I only saw this from the ground. - Yes.
Wow.
It's big, so you can see it even if you're just walking by.
- People buy these... - It's huge.
mostly for proposals.
- I agree. Proposal... - A lot of women love giraffes.
- Someone recently bought one. - Did he?
He said he would propose with it,
so I tied a nice ribbon on it.
- That's my dream. - I see.
That's my dream guy, but I guess he's married now.
When I was young, I saw a movie.
Jang Dong Gun or Kim Hee Seon played a vet...
and in the last scene of the movie,
she received a proposal with a huge giraffe with a ribbon.
I wanted to be proposed to just like that.
I realised how beautiful giraffes were at that moment.
I started to gain interest in giraffes ever since then.
You love giraffes and you even thought about the proposal.
- Yes. - Right.
What if there is someone you're not that interested in...
but he proposes to you with that huge giraffe from earlier?
Maybe...
I might start to be interested.
- That much? - From what I know,
The only thing Hyeon Gyeong cares about when choosing boyfriends...
is looks. Just looks.
- What? - It doesn't matter...
what his personality is like or if he's established.
- Just the looks? - Just his looks.
I like handsome men.
Good-looking men?
- Yes. - That's her ideal type.
- What about Oh Chang Seok? - He's handsome.
- But he doesn't have a giraffe. - Okay.
Let's say I have a giraffe.
You have to choose one.
I can buy my own giraffes.
I will choose Chang Seok.
She only cares about looks.
I wish she didn't have the ability to buy giraffes.
Really.
That's nice. The weather has been good recently.
It's perfect to go to Han River.
Isn't it nice?
Shall we lie down?
Here.
(Flopping)
She's lying down again?
(Embarrassed)
Is it hard for you to stay standing or sitting?
I like to lie down.
(I love to lie down.)
Hurry up!
- Who are you calling? - My friends.
My friends and their dogs.
- Over here. - Really?
Are you sure it's not a dog club?
- Hey... - They're so cute.
- It's a Pomeranian. - You're right.
- They're so excited. - Yes.
Look.
(They run with their dogs.)
It looks fun.
- I want to do that, too. - How adorable.
(How adorable.)
How adorable. Good dog.
Good dog.
(Isn't it fun to play with me?)
- You managed to set up the tent. - Exactly.
Your camping experience didn't go to waste.
It was easy.
It seemed easy.
Do you know what I thought while setting up the tent?
- What is it? - I felt so lonely.
- Couples usually do it together. - Right.
I felt lonely while setting up the tent by myself.
It's more fun when you go on a picnic with your boyfriend.
- Exactly. I wish I had a boyfriend. - That's sad.
- I wonder why you don't have one. - She caught my wedding bouquet.
- That's right. - It's already been three years.
It's over. She can't get married.
- I burned the wedding bouquet. - Gosh.
You should get married before you turn 35.
Of course, I will.
I wanted to get married early.
She wanted to get married since she was in her 20s.
- It's true. - Her dream was to be a good wife.
She was a model before she debuted as an actor.
- I met her first when she was 19. - I was 19.
She was really shy back then.
We became good friends, and one day, she said...
she joined an agency to start her acting career.
- We all were models then. - That's right.
- We didn't have any experience. - It was her first time.
- All three of you were models? - Yes.
- I got a part for a sitcom. - She got the part right away.
- I was lucky. - Oh, "Rainbow Romance"?
Hey, guys. Have you heard about Soo Mi?
She's getting married to a bodybuilder because of a stocking.
(She played a cheery and quirky character in her debut drama.)
Hey, listen.
It's not stocking. It's stalker.
And he's not a bodybuilder. He's a bodyguard.
I'm so stupid.
No wonder why it sounded weird.
(She's just like the character she played.)
I will be on a variety show with Bo Reum.
Bo Reum promised me she'd teach me how to dance.
- She's a good dancer. - She's really good at dancing.
I'm good at dancing too, right?
- She's good. - She's good at dancing.
It's just that I'm not good at picking up the choreography.
- What's the song? - "Like OOH-AHH".
- I'll dance to "Like OOH-AHH". - "Like OOH-AHH"?
- All day long, I sang... - You listened to that song?
No, I sang the song.
Listen to the song.
(She prepares for her appearance on the variety show.)
- Was that for a variety show? - Show me how to dance, Bo Reum.
Just repeat this move.
She's good at dancing as she used to be a girl group member.
- You should practise this move. - That's easy.
Give it a try.
No, to the other side.
(Now she's showing the highlight dance move.)
(Fantastic dance moves)
That's too fast.
(She can't dance as good as she thought she would.)
The dog is barking.
- He doesn't like it. - The dog wants her to stop dancing.
This is the choreography.
Bounce your hips like this.
- And then, to the left. - My dog doesn't like it.
It's hard to pick up that move fast.
(Dancing awkwardly)
- I can't do this. - You can do this.
Now I can see why the dog is barking.
- I can't do that. - My dog says you should do better.
The dog is about to cry.
It's because I didn't do well. My goodness.
(Barking)
It's angry.
Even the dog knows she's not good at dancing.
How is being on a variety show? Isn't it difficult?
Of course, it's difficult because I don't have much experience.
But I wanted to be good at it.
At first, I didn't care so much.
But now I get upset when people say that I'm not funny.
- I want to be funny. - That's what comedians usually say.
I know what you mean.
I'm sure that Chae A feels the same way.
I really want to be funny.
You know how she feels, don't you?
I'm willing to do anything to be funny.
- You would do anything? - That's what I'm saying.
- Let's watch Oh Chang Seok's video. - Okay.
Wow.
(Singing)
What is he doing?
Is that classical singing?
Don't you think he's similar to Lee Tae Gon?
- That's right. - Especially when he acts like that.
- Right. - Don't you think so?
("You May Live in Happiness" by Leeds)
(He chooses an old song again.)
I like singing.
- I see. - I sing when I'm alone in my car.
Me, too. We have a lot in common.
You're trying too hard to find things in common.
But it's true.
(Am I going?)
(Where is he going?)
(He sings every song in a rock ballad version.)
(He doesn't stop singing.)
How many songs have you been singing?
(Fly faster)
(He sings like a rock singer with passion.)
(Singing vibrato)
(He sings vibrato like a rock singer.)
Rock and roll, Baby!
You seem to like songs like "Footsteps" by Emerald Castle.
- "Footsteeps"? - Did I say that?
- It's because I speak in dialect. - It sounded like "Footsteeps".
- Right. - "Footsteeps".
I like singers like K2 and Yarn. I love "After" by Yarn.
- There's YADA, too. - Exactly.
- I'm the same age as him. - Yes, you're the same age.
I know every song he likes.
What's your favourite song?
(He sings falsetto timidly.)
- Sing it properly. - Sing it properly.
Even I can sing if I use falsetto.
- Sing it without using falsetto. - I know you can't sing in falsetto.
(He imitates Hyun Moo.)
- Does everyone know that now? - Yes.
- Please sing for us. - Please sing it again.
(Please sing for us.)
Our sadly beautiful memories
(Hyun Moo is mesmerised.)
- He's good. - He's really good.
Imitate me again.
Our sadly beautiful
(My goodness.)
That's exactly how Hyun Moo's mouth looks like.
Hyun Moo, go!
I can't forget those memories
I can't sing high notes.
Don't you think he imitated you really well?
He did a good job making the ugly face.
- My mouth is the key point. - That's right.
- Where are you going? - Is that a car wash?
- I'm going to a car wash. - I see.
(Groaning)
What a nice weather.
(Shall I start washing my car?)
- I've never seen a place like that. - You don't...
- need your own tools. - I see.
They provide you with all you need.
Time is ticking.
- They charge per unit time. - How much is it?
It's 3 dollars per 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
You need to finish it quickly.
I'm running out of time.
- That's good. - You have less than a minute left.
- You need to hurry up. - It's hard to finish in that time.
It's impossible.
(Time is up.)
- Oh, no. - He ran out of time?
Time is up.
(He pays for another round.)
(Let's wash it cleanly.)
I think it's done.
It looks clean.
It looks shiny and nice.
(He wraps up with a delicate final touch.)
I'm done.
(It feels refreshing.)
I have some time before the game.
(Music is playing.)
Old school
CB Mass
- CB Mass? - CB Mass?
- They're an old hip-hop group. - There are many hip-hop groups now.
CB Mass?
- Isn't that CB Mass? - It is.
Isn't that CB Mass?
Were you really born in 1982?
- Yes. - You look much older than you are.
- Doesn't he act much older? - Right.
(He arrives while listening to a hip-hop song.)
(Walking in slippers)
(Light steps)
- What is that place? - It's a comic book store.
- It's a comic book store... - Have you been there?
in Bangbae-dong that I go often.
- I haven't been there in a while. - Two hours, please.
It's a comic book store.
Thank you.
Oh, and could I have...
a cup ramen?
A cup ramen?
You should eat it when you go to a comic book store.
Ramen tastes good in a comic book store.
I love comic books.
I've read comic books since I was six years old.
I prefer a place where the owner knows much about comic books.
It's because I need them to have...
new books that suit my preferences.
I also consider the size of the store,
how comfortable the seats are,
and the space between the seats.
I don't want to be interrupted by the people next to my table.
So I think it's very important how the seats are arranged.
I searched on the internet,
and visited many comic book stores.
(He's emptying his pockets for better concentration.)
Watching that table makes me so excited.
- Right. - He also has ramen.
I love it.
- You emptied your pockets... - Yes.
- so you can focus on reading. - That's right.
You found the best seat.
(He's sitting in the most comfortable position.)
Good.
(He starts reading the comic books.)
(He already poured hot water in the cup ramen.)
(Is it ready to eat?)
It looks so delicious.
I want to eat cup ramen.
Me, too.
When someone starts eating it, other customers order it, too.
- That's right. - It smells so good.
You can't resist it.
He's reading while eating.
(He puts noodles in his mouth quickly.)
(He then reads the book again.)
(This is how a master reads a comic book.)
(Oh, right.)
(I should wear my cap backwards.)
(That way, I get to see wider.)
(This is how far he thinks he should be from the other table.)
(He keeps changing his position.)
How long do you spend in a comic book store?
I usually pay by the flat rate.
I spend about three hours at a time.
(This is nice.)
(I'm glad I'm here.)
Why are you taking a picture?
I find some touching lines while I read comic books.
I have a friend who likes the same comic book.
I wanted to send it to him.
(He leaves being touched by the great story.)
You've read comic books for 30 years.
Which great comic books would you recommend?
"Paradise Kiss" and "Unplugged Boy" are very good.
"One" is good, as well.
I really like comic books.
He really is a comic book lover.
Mr Kim, what's your favourite comic book?
"3,000 Leagues in Search of Mother"?
It's a good comic book.
- It's a good story. - Mum
- Mum, my mum - It's a good one.
- Never ending journey - It's written by Kim Jong Rae.
(The comic book was written by the late Kim Jong Rae, in 1958.)
It was a sad story.
That's right. It was sad.
Now we'll see how Chang Seok ends his day.
Let's see how he finishes his day.
(How does Chang Seok finish his day?)
(It's evening already.)
- He's at the basketball court. - Yes.
- That looks so strange. - What's up?
What's up?
- It's Shorry. - Shorry.
Are you good friends with Shorry?
He's my best friend.
- Really? - He's the same age as you, right?
We were in the same class since elementary school.
Oh, really?
We've been friends since we were eight.
Where have you been?
(He brought grey socks to match his clothes.)
- Your outfit is... - Yes?
Your outfit is too...
- You're obsessed with colours. - No, I'm not.
- Don't you think this is too much? - I like hip-hop.
Today's colour is grey.
(Today he is a man of grey.)
- Today's colour is grey. - We're here for a basketball game.
This is too much.
Is that a thimble on your head?
That's a hat for basketball.
It's to keep my hair from getting into my eyes.
You're actually quite good.
Our team is wearing white.
- Raise your hand. - We're wearing black.
- Let's win. - Should I join that team?
You're wearing green?
(Random green uniform)
Is there a green team?
- Why didn't you... - Are you in Team White?
bring your uniform?
- Come on. - Why don't you listen?
It's our little promise.
- Let's begin. - Go, Team!
- It's nice to meet you. - Good luck.
(Chang Seok's practice shoot)
- Why don't we make a bet? - That's a three point shot.
- That was good. - The losing team buys drinks.
(Chang Seok's team takes the bet with confidence.)
The losing team buys 10 bottles of 1.5 litre drinks.
- "The Last Match" soundtrack. - I knew they would play this song.
(A song from the 90s just for Chang Seok)
Who's Jang Dong Gun and who's Son Ji Chang?
(The intense match for 10 bottles of soft drinks)
(Pass the ball.)
Shoot!
That's a good layup shot.
- That's good. - He's really good.
- Will he lead the team to victory? - It's funny with the song.
It really is funny.
("Basketball is played with the heart, not height." by Shorry)
Isn't that a very outdated editing style?
- Exactly. - He's good.
That's a two-point shot.
This editing is bringing back old memories.
"Here I come. Make way."
- I used to watch basketball games. - What is this?
It's like the drama starring Jang Dong Gun and Son Ji Chang.
- Yes, you're right. - Oh, the memories.
- Where's Shim Eun Ha? - Where is she?
- I remember her character, Da Seul. - Right.
(When we are together, there is nothing I fear.)
Shoot!
(He nails a three-point shot with ease.)
(I am an athletic man.)
- Women like basketball players. - Is that so?
How's foot volleyball?
I don't know many people who play foot volleyball.
(With one minute remaining, Chang Seok's team is losing.)
Go, Shorry!
(Shorry shoots the ball!)
(Bouncing out)
You're useless!
He's swearing at Shorry.
You passed the ball too early.
Throw it now.
(Chang Seok attempts a three-point shot.)
Okay. That's good.
(Have I run out of luck?)
(They steel themselves again.)
(Chang Seok has the last chance to score.)
(I will show you...)
(my perfect three point shot.)
Shoot!
(Flying over)
- That's not good. - It wasn't even close.
- He was never going to score. - That's right.
He threw it too far.
Is he out of energy?
(Chang Seok's team loses letting Team Black hit the buzzer beater.)
Buzzer beater.
(With a soulless clap, he gets to buy drinks.)
Pass this around.
Chang Seok bought the drinks.
- Thank you for the drink. - Thank you.
I'm so tired.
Where is it?
How many quarters did you play?
We played four quarters, so it was one whole game.
(Shall we play one more game?)
I'm tired.
(The oldest members don't seem to want to join them.)
When did you buy this jersey?
When I was in high school.
- When you were in high school? - Yes.
Really? You're still wearing what you used to wear in high school?
- It's reversible. - Really?
- You know this logo, right? - Yes.
The red one.
Buy a new one.
You wore this long enough.
They don't make this any more.
They don't make this design now.
They discontinued this.
Why would they do that?
You're so frugal.
I know. I am quite thrifty.
- It's... - I still have the Christmas card...
you gave me in elementary school.
- You know that's an obsession. - I have old items.
You're obsessed with collecting things.
- Yes, I am. - You have everything in your house.
You know everything about my past.
I can finish you.
Did you attend the drama crank-in ceremony?
Yes, I did.
Shorry is acting in a drama.
- As an actor? - It was fun.
- Didn't you dress up hip-hop style? - Only I dressed up like that.
You were the only one wearing a hip hop outfit?
(Among the crowd all dressed in hanbok,)
(Shorry is the only hip-hop warrior.)
That's my friend.
You're a true hip-hop artist.
It'll be fun to do a period drama together.
I want to play in one, too.
(I want to be in a period drama.)
But it's not easy to get a role.
When you start playing a certain kind of character,
it becomes hard to change lanes.
That's why you need to act in different types of dramas.
So I want to play in dramas like the ones you were in...
such as "Triangle" and "The Flower in Prison".
I played many similar characters...
like high powered business hot shot.
I want to try different roles and different genres of drama...
because in reality I'm much more varied...
than what I've shown in my previous roles.
I have this thirst for new roles and experiences.
Have you been living alone for a year?
It's been a year and four months.
- A year and four months? - When the lease runs out,
- I have to move out. - Right.
- I have to... - I'm in the same situation.
- I have eight months left. - It's inevitable.
- I have eight months left. - I have three months left.
Is that so?
In October, I should start house hunting.
- I need to make money. - Exactly.
I need to pay off my loan. I'm in trouble.
That's what I'm saying.
Aren't you lonely?
It's been over a year. You must be lonely.
I used to live by myself.
I went back to my parents after six months.
- You said you were depressed. - That's true.
How can you live alone? It was so hard for me.
It's not that you don't want to get married.
I will get married some day.
It's just that I want to make my career a success first.
I want to work.
Since I debuted later than others, it was hard...
for the first 4 or 5 years.
All my friends were working,
and they were all getting somewhere.
I failed every audition I went for.
It felt like I was going around in circles.
It was a long dark tunnel...
for the first 4 or 5 years.
How many years have you been an actor?
I think it's been nine years.
- Nine years? - No, it's 8 going on 9.
It's already been nine years?
For the first 4 or 5 years, it was bad.
I worked with my manager without an agency.
I rented a car with my money.
I know.
We should be happy that we're working in the same industry.
(He goes home at late night.)
(He checks his mail box first.)
What is it?
- He received a parcel. - I bought new shoes.
- Shoes again? - I ordered them on the internet.
(My new shoes are here.)
(He goes home humming.)
(He checks out his new shoes at home.)
It feels great when you open a parcel.
- It feels great. - You want the moment to last.
He bought another pair of shoes, and they're black, too.
You have a lot of black shoes already.
He seems to love black.
(It's a perfect fit.)
(They're so nice from every angle.)
Okay. Good.
- You don't buy them impulsively. - No, I don't.
- You consider everything first. - That's right.
(He goes straight to the fridge after washing up.)
What kind of facial mask should I use today?
I'll go for a lifting mask.
(The face lift mask will make his face sharper.)
Does he use a facial mask every day, too?
I like...
- Do you use it every day? - facial masks. Yes, every day.
(He dabs his face with his fourth finger.)
(He squeezes every last drop in the package.)
There's a lot left in the package.
- It would be a waste. - Yes.
- You won't waste any drop of it. - I should use every last drop.
He seems so excited.
It covers your neck, too?
- I haven't seen that before. - It covers your chin.
- We should learn from this. - I haven't seen that before.
That's amazing. It lifts up your skin?
That's amazing.
It helps to sharpen your jawline.
(Let's take a rest.)
Oh, dear.
(He makes a call to someone.)
Hi, son.
- Mum. - Yes?
Are you still up?
I was about to go to bed.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Do you eat well?
I order in everyday.
Oh, no. Poor you.
I'm worried.
I ate all your kimchi. I have to come over for more kimchi.
Of course. When will you come?
You should give me time to prepare it for you.
I will visit you early next week.
Okay.
I worry because you're all by yourself.
Other than food,
everything else is easier living alone.
Exactly. I worry about your meals.
I take vitamin supplements to stay healthy.
- Call me. - He actually listens to his mother.
- He's very sweet to her. - He is.
(Chang Seok turns on the TV for company.)
Come over here, Wilson.
Let's watch TV together.
(It feels good to lie down.)
(The world is at peace.)
- It's Captain Yoo Si Jin. - It's Captain Yoo Si Jin.
He's monitoring the drama.
I monitor dramas to see what's popular nowadays.
I watch how other actors perform.
(He finishes watching "Descendants of the Sun".)
(It's time to remove the face mask.)
(His skin glows.)
Look at his face.
- Look at his face. - He's like a bride.
(His touch is more delicate than that of a new bride.)
(The face mask has done its job well.)
(He even turns on the humidifier for moisture.)
(I need to clean that up.)
I need to put them in my pillow case.
(Charcoal chips for pillows)
Are you sure you were born in 1982?
Yes, I am.
Your preferences are like those of a friend of my father's.
You're more like someone born in 1952.
(He stuffs the washed charcoal chips back into his pillow case.)
It's going to take forever.
Oh, no!
(He spills the chips.)
Oh, dear.
I feel so foolish.
(He uses a makeup container to scoop up the chips.)
(I will do this.)
(Picking)
Almost done.
Charcoal chips.
I conquered them.
Good.
- Charcoal chips? - Charcoal chips...
- That's another one I should try. - There's a lot to learn from him.
(Welcome to liquor world.)
(He grabs a can of ice cold beer from the fridge.)
I'm addicted to those crisps lately. It's sweet cheese flavoured.
You can't resist having a beer with that sitting around.
Also I go to bed late, so I get hungry at night.
- Between 3 to 4 in the morning? - Exactly.
I shouldn't.
(Does he put them down?)
- He's torn. - It's hard to resist from 1 to 2am.
(I have a shoot on April 9th.)
One week.
- He's thinking about the shoot. - One week.
- A week. - I have a shoot on the 9th.
(He calls his friend with whom he plays basketball.)
(He sniffs the beer.)
- Chang Seok. - Hey, brother.
- Hey. - What's up?
Do you think I should eat sweet cheese flavoured crisps now?
- Sweet cheese flavoured crisps? - Yes.
(What kind of conversation is this?)
- You need to open it up right now. - I should open it?
You played basketball today. A bag of crisps won't harm you.
But I'm tempted to drink beer with that. Should I really open it?
- I'm going to. - You're going to?
- Yes, I am. - Can you please not do that?
(It's so hard to resist late night snacks.)
If you were me, you'd eat these?
I shouldn't be talking to you. I'm hanging up.
(I shouldn't have called him.)
- All right. Rest well. - Okay.
I won't eat!
No, I won't eat!
(Chang Seok resists for his shoot in a week's time.)
I should put it back in the fridge.
- Actors diet for shoots, too? - Of course they do.
- Even male comedians go on diets. - They do?
- Of course. - People think that I'm an actress.
I always moisturise my skin, receive lifting care and so on.
- You overcame the temptation? - Yes, I succeeded.
- He's amazing. - He's amazing.
He's a strong-willed Korean.
- I thought he'd cave in. - I thought so, too.
I resisted midnight snacks yesterday, too.
(Chang Seok goes to bed right away to resist the temptation.)
Sleep is the best way to resist cravings when you're hungry.
- You must sleep to forget hunger. - You need to sleep.
(Chang Seok always does his best whether it's his hobby or his work.)
You really did well.
I really enjoyed watching your video, Chang Seok.
- Your features are exotic. - Yes.
Does it limit the roles you are offered?
- That's a happy limitation. - I don't get comical characters...
or frivolous roles that much.
I usually get roles like business big shots dressed in suits.
Those roles are the ones I'm offered mostly.
- Some still call me Hwang Ma Ma. - Hwang Ma Ma.
- I remember Hwang Ma Ma. - Many people still call me Ma Ma.
- Some say, "He's from Jang Bo Ri." - Because you were in that drama.
You could act a guy who spends his time in comic book stores...
just wearing tracksuits and slippers, lazing about.
- You'd suit that kind of role, too. - He's right.
- I think he'll suit that character. - I don't think so.
- He looks too smart. - He looks too clean-cut.
These are the preconceptions I have to break out of.
Chang Seok's time has yet to come.
I think many chances will come your way in the future.
Of course, this is just the beginning for you.
I believe you'll be a very good actor.
Thank you.
We've seen Chang Seok thus far. Let's check Hyeon Gyeong's place.
- It's finally evening. - At last, it's evening.
It was 7am before. It's now 7pm. 12 hours have passed.
I'm finally home.
- Wilson was home all alone. - Oh, dear.
My goodness.
(Hyeon Gyeong is tired from a long day.)
Stay there. I need to change.
(I'll go get changed.)
My mum and sister are coming.
I have to order food.
- They're coming from Daejeon? - Yes, they came from Daejeon.
- They came to see you? - Yes.
Soy sauce marinated crab.
- I want soy sauce marinated crab. - She's ordering it.
Let's order soy sauce marinated crab.
(She orders food through an application on her phone.)
I ordered it.
I need to cook rice quickly.
(There's no rice left.)
My mum's going to scold me for not doing the dishes.
(She quickly rinses rice.)
(Let's cook rice quickly.)
(Rice is set.)
(Mum!)
They're here!
- You're here. - It's been a while.
- There's another person. - Who is behind your mother?
- Is it your older sister? - Yes.
- I knew you'd look for Pudding. - Where is Pudding?
- You've been well? - Yes.
Don't you think Pudding's grown bigger?
- Side dishes? - Pudding is so big now.
- Pudding's bigger, right? - Yes. Why is Pudding so chubby?
- She's your big sister? - Yes.
- She's also pretty. - I told you Pudding is bigger.
- Pudding is much bigger. - I'm hungry.
I'm cooking rice and soy sauce marinated crab is coming.
- You ordered food again? - Yes.
Oh, dear.
You should stop ordering in and cook.
- Kimchi. - She needs to cook her own food.
I was going to cook for you.
Have you been cooking and eating well?
- Yes. - Look at all the dirty dishes.
We can have all the side dishes together with the rice.
There's so much clutter for such a tiny apartment.
My goodness. Do you clean the house regularly?
- She sounds like my mum. - I agree.
There's so much stuff for such tiny apartment.
(There are so many things for her mother to nag about.)
(Soy sauce marinated crab has arrived.)
Thank you.
Here you go.
(Their dinner with the soy sauce marinated crab is ready.)
(Mum's homemade side dishes look delicious.)
My hands are weak.
You must be skipping meals often since you're so busy lately.
I'm addicted to manduguk nowadays.
(It's so delicious.)
- It's delicious, right? - Yes, it is.
- It melts in your mouth. - Yes.
Goodness. Mum.
Your family seems very close.
Yes, we're like friends.
- They are like friends. - I see.
(It's been a while since the family sat together for a meal.)
I'm done.
- Should we clear the table? - Yes.
That's what you brought for dessert?
- Yes. - Bring something more.
We only need enough to cleanse our palates.
One piece is enough for me.
(They squabble like all other sisters.)
- It's... - Do you remember...
when she sang a song she made up sitting on a desk?
You kept pounding the desk, belching out some strange song.
- I thought I'd become a songwriter. - You know how difficult it is?
Music...
- musical motifs came into my mind. - Musical motif?
They were not good songs.
All our relatives are amazed that I became an actress.
Wondering what I'd become...
I guess nobody really cared.
- I was... - She had no talents.
You just played sports, and you were stubborn.
I was just stubborn, so they thought...
Your stubbornness got you where you are now though.
Your first acting role was in "Rainbow Romance", right?
Yes, it was a sitcom.
Yes, when you were doing the sitcom, we were all so nervous.
Why, because my acting was so terrible?
We were just anxious.
(They were more concerned for her.)
When you were nominated for the drama award,
we thought it was a miracle that you were a nominee.
- Just for the nomination? - The nomination was enough.
Attending an award ceremony was already like a dream come true.
At first,
(She won the supporting actress award in KBS in 2015.)
we were so glad.
We weren't expecting anything. We gathered at your grandmother's...
and they announced the nominees first.
We just watched.
When the presenter announced that you won the award,
we clapped so much that the whole apartment building shook.
(It was a huge deal for her family.)
The supporting actress award goes to...
Uhm Hyeon Gyeong from "House of Bluebird" and "All Is Well".
Congratulations.
It's my first time at an awards ceremony. Thank you so much.
It wasn't easy going back and forth from Daejeon to Seoul.
When you first started acting,
you jumped into water although you're afraid of water.
It was for a commercial.
She told me that she was excited at the time. I found out later that...
How did you know? Did I tell you?
Your friend told me.
- For real? - Who was it?
I was really upset to hear that.
She's one of a kind.
- She doesn't express her feelings. - Exactly.
She hides her feelings even when she's struggling.
I'm fine.
I was fine once it was over.
But I heard you cried so much then. You told me you were having fun.
You didn't want Mum and Dad to worry about you.
When she first appeared on "Happy Together",
the first thing she said to us by text message was...
"Don't read the comments on the internet."
I was afraid that my family will be upset.
She was afraid her family would be upset.
- Oh, dear. - Your father...
(She was worried about her family.)
I didn't think you'd talk about the comments on the internet.
You had nobody commenting on you before though.
- Yes, I think I'm better off now. - It's much better now.
- I'm fine. It's my family... - They're jealous of you.
This is the problem with this family.
We worry about each other way too much, Mum.
We keep saying that we're okay.
When dad had surgery for cancer,
we never cried together.
She hid and cried in the bathroom everyday,
and came back with red eyes.
Mum went over there to cry while she was crying elsewhere.
This was while she was in the middle of shooting a drama.
She was busy with the drama. I had no idea...
that Hyeon Gyeong would come over to help look after him.
She came at dawn after her shoot.
She told me she'd take over so I should go and rest.
At that moment, I realised the importance of having children.
I felt that to the core there and then.
Then she went to shoot the drama straight from the hospital.
She did that for a whole week.
- She's a good daughter. - Yes.
- She's so considerate. - Honestly, I mostly slept.
You did all the work, Mum.
You didn't sleep at all for two days.
- We spent two days in the hospital. - That's right.
We slept on the picnic mat.
- I remember that. - We looked like...
a really happy family then.
- We pretended. - We pretended.
- There wasn't enough space. - All three of us...
- All of us slept on the floor... - We used a picnic mat.
and Dad was on the bed.
Dad's healthy now, so looking back,
- it brought us closer. - Yes.
- We can laugh about it now. - We got through it.
My dad was always very healthy...
but he was diagnosed with tongue cancer.
With that illness, bacteria grows in collected saliva...
after the surgery.
We had to remove saliva with suction all day long.
We had to remove saliva whenever he salivated.
Even a bit of saliva...
could harm him.
My mum couldn't do that for 24 hours a day all alone.
So I went to the hospital after shooting the drama,
so my mum could get some sleep.
It wasn't difficult at all.
What time is it? We've booked our tickets.
Do you want to take it with you?
- Yes. - I won't have it.
Hyeon Gyeong, these giraffes must be protecting you.
- They're standing guard. - Yes.
(Sad)
Come home when the weather warms up.
- All right. - Please come home.
All right.
- Be safe. I'll call you. - Take care.
Eat well.
Don't you feel sad and lonely when they leave?
Yes, I feel lonely.
(Sighing)
They came and left so quickly.
The apartment is so empty all of a sudden, Pudding.
It's so empty here, isn't it?
They were here and now they're gone.
Let's get ready for bed.
(She washes her face.)
(She uses a face steamer.)
- What is that? - It's a face steamer.
It feels like I'm in a sauna. It feels nice.
- I see. - It moisturises your skin.
- It feels nice. - Wow.
- She applies a face mask. - Do all women...
- use a mask every day? - Yes.
(She's pretty even with the face mask.)
Good night.
My dear giraffe,
good night.
You say good night to all of them?
Yes, just before I go to bed.
Good night.
(I wish you a good night as well, Wilson.)
Goodbye.
There's nothing I regret about the past decade.
People didn't recognise me until recently.
Still,
I don't feel I wasted the last 10 years.
I really worked hard in those years.
I respect myself for that.
Of course there were times when living alone was hard...
but I was able to overcome those difficult times...
because my family provided all the love and support for me.
There's so much affection in my family.
I think I could endure those times thanks to my family.
Looking back on the 10, 11 years that I've lived alone,
I'm not ashamed of anything.
That's what I'm most happy with.
I'm satisfied with where I am now.
- She goes to bed at 10:30pm. - She goes to bed early.
She needs to get up at 7am.
- She's like my grandmother. - Can you fall asleep?
That's considered late for me.
(She gives Pudding a good night kiss.)
(Good night, giraffe.)
She goes to bed.
She's very diligent.
(The diligent Hyeon Gyeong has had a good day.)
- We enjoyed your video. - We enjoyed it.
What's your ultimate goal as an actor?
At first, all actors dream of playing a leading role.
Everyone wants to be a big star in the beginning,
but I now realise there's more to acting than playing a leading role.
You won't get a leading role just because you want it.
It's a gift to be able to work.
I plan to do my best like I do now.
What about you, Hyeon Gyeong? What are your goals?
Like Mr Kim here,
I'd like to act for as long as I can.
I will keep going. I'm going to work hard.
I look forward to seeing both of your acting in the future.
Please say a few words of wisdom for them.
Consider acting as your vocation.
Be prepared to act for a lifetime.
It could be difficult for you today, but don't forget there's tomorrow.
- If you work hard, you'll be fine. - All right.
Thank you.
I hope your acting career will be as long as Mr Kim's.
I wish both of you well.
- Thank you. - Thank you!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(It's a brutal day in April.)
(Is Gook Ju starting a sticky relationship?)
I can't do it. Let's just go.
Stay still.
One, two, three.
- We shouldn't ride these ones. - Hey.
(They keep getting closer against her will.)
(A prison named affection)
Doesn't it feel natural for you now?
Not at all.
(How will this relationship turn out?)
You're glad you came with me, right?
(The Scandal of Gook Ju and Young Chul)
