This week's story on Rainbow Club.
They don't feel lonely even though they are single.
These single man and woman are in love with their pet animals.
Comedian Ji Sang Ryeol lives with puppies instead of getting married.
Puppies are in Sang Ryeol's house
(It's a mess.)
Unlike how he appears to be, he takes a good care of himself.
Ji Sang Ryeol, the dog lover, reveals his daily life.
Oh, no. Hey.
We should share these.
(He's speechless.)
Actress Sunwoo Sun lives with cats instead of getting married.
The cats are in Sun's house
(Meow)
(Take your hands off me.)
She's diligent and wise and lives a healthy life.
What could Sunwoo Sun's daily life be like?
(Nice catch.)
That's good.
(She turns out to be sloppy.)
"The Truth about Cats and Dogs".
(I'll tell you the truth about cats and dogs.)
(The Rainbow Live)
- Hello, it's good to see you again. - Hello, everyone.
- I enjoyed watching it. - Pardon?
- You gave Soon Shim a trim. - Oh, that?
I'll cut it shorter since it's hot.
Oh, no. I'm sorry.
When I told people that I did it myself,
they said, "You're kidding."
Maybe, they meant, "How could you do this to her?"
(How could you do this do her?)
- Didn't Soon Shim get angry at you? - No.
People say that I did a good job considering it was my first time.
- Our today's guests are like you. - Right.
Their lives are...
all about pet animals.
Are they animal lovers?
Let's find out how much they love their pets.
- Please come out. - Please come out.
- Please come out. - Who could they be?
(Sunwoo Sun)
- It's Sunwoo Sun. - Hello.
- Hello. - It's nice to meet you.
(She played a charismatic woman in "Queen of Housewives"...)
(and a lovely woman in "A Hundred Year Legacy".)
(She lives with 10 cats.)
(Actress Sunwoo Sun)
Shall I examine your lifestyle?
(He's a creator of newly coined words.)
(He wants to live like dogs.)
My life motto is, "Live just as happily as dogs."
(Comedian Ji Sang Ryeol)
- It's nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you.
I'd like to ask you a question.
What are your pets' special talents?
My dog, Moongchi,
does this when it's in an emergency situation.
- I was so surprised. - What does it do?
It says, "Dad."
No way.
(He went too far.)
- Don't lie to us. - It's true.
It barks as if it says, "Dad"?
It sounds like "Dad".
- Take your dog to a veterinarian. - I understand.
- My cat makes a sound like that. - See?
It meows, "Mum".
- Really? - It sounds like "Mum".
- It's true. It sounds like "Mum". - Hold on a second.
I understand what they say even though I don't own a pet.
One day, I was on my way home,
someone called me "Brother".
- So I turned around, - No way.
and the dog was barking, "Brother! Brother!"
- That's what I was talking about. - "Brother! Brother!"
- I was so surprised. - That can't be true.
It's a true story.
- I have a similar experience. - I don't believe any of you.
- Right? - What happened?
A dog barked, and it sounded like "Mr Kim! Mr Kim!"
- Exactly. - "Mr Kim! Mr Kim!"
- Animals make sounds like that. - I can't believe you guys.
- It can sound like "Mr Kim". - That's right.
- Let's watch their videos. - "Brother! Brother!"
- "Brother! Brother!" - "Mr Kim! Mr Kim!"
"Dad."
"Mum."
Let's watch Sun's video first.
(The Rainbow Live)
(It's Sun's house at Jeongneung-dong.)
I don't see any cats yet.
Her house is tidy.
(Her house looks cosy decorated with hardwood furniture.)
(Sun's cats are not seen with her, and she wakes up alone.)
She looks like she's in a TV commercial.
She looks pretty, indeed.
(He gazes at her.)
Not everyone looks that pretty when they just woke up.
- Exactly. - That's right.
(She grunts.)
Gosh.
Oh, my back.
My back hurts.
- Actually... - What's that?
- I like that, too. - What's that?
It's a wooden massager.
It seems like she's not so young.
Young people don't use a massager like that.
(She greets the morning like a middle-aged man.)
(Stretching)
- Doing stretches is a good habit. - Right.
- It feels good, right? - I need to do that in the morning.
Why is no one out here?
(Sun goes to a room to see her cats.)
Knock, knock, knock.
- There are cats in there. - They're my cats.
- It's my cats' room. - There are so many cats.
- Do they stay in the same room? - Yes.
- All the 10 cats? - Their fur... Yes.
- They're so cute. - They're cute.
Hello, my babies.
Good morning.
Good morning, Blanchette.
My love, Blanchette.
I love you.
(They're lovey-dovey.)
Hello, I've been living alone for a year.
- I'm Sunwoo Sun, the cats' butler. - The cats' butler.
I had initially bought this house for my parents.
But as I got more cats...
my dad moved out, and I started living alone.
Good morning. Good morning. Give me a kiss. Good morning.
(Haeng Woon)
I am Haeng Woon
Pretty Haeng Woon
Hi, Kko Maeng.
I love you.
Good morning.
Give me a kiss.
Oreuri, good morning.
Lovely. I love you, Lovely.
Hi, Jung Hoon. You're so smart.
I love you. Good morning.
She's greeting her cats the whole morning.
- She takes out the hiding cats. - I need to see each one of them.
Geon Gang. Oh, there you are.
Hi, Geon Gang. Won't say hi to me?
You don't want to? Are you feeling unwell?
Wait here.
Tonky. Tonky.
(She's looking around.)
Tonky.
(She goes around the house to find Tonky.)
Tonky.
Where did Tonky go?
- Tonky. - Where?
- Tonky, there you are. - Oh, there it is.
- It's quite sassy. - My lovely cat.
You're so pretty. Good cat.
You're so pretty.
(Butler Sun finds it fun to go around to find her cat.)
I finally got you.
I've had cats for 12 years.
Geon Gang is the first one I brought home.
(I found her abandoned on the street.)
I meant to give her to someone after fostering her for some time,
but it was hard for me to let her go, so I convinced my parents...
to let me keep her in our house.
I adopted Haeng Woon from a pet shop.
A friend of mine suggested I adopt an abandoned cat.
So I adopted Blanchette. Blanchette is a female.
Haeng Woon, who's a male, became a couple with Blanchette.
They had four kittens.
Only 2 months after that, they had 3 more kittens.
So now...
I live with 10 cats. We're family. We get along well.
You're so pretty.
(She expresses her affection.)
Tonky, Tonky.
I'll wash your face.
I'll make you look pretty.
I'll make you look pretty, my princess.
Tonky, you have eye boogers.
I'll wash it.
It's okay. You'll look really pretty.
- I have to soak it first. - You need so much affection...
- to get rid of eye boogers. - That's right.
- You're treating her like a baby. - Right.
Look in the mirror.
She's treating her like a baby.
You haven't washed up yet, right?
That's right.
That's just normal.
Come here. There you go.
Tonky, are you feeling good?
(Butler Sun tries to keep her cats clean.)
Where is the disinfectant?
I found it.
Let's clean your paws. It's okay.
It's okay.
It feels so good. Tonky, you're clean now.
You're so pretty, Pink. You're so pretty.
(She pulls Pink out.)
How adorable.
I'll wash your face, too.
Good cat.
Good cat. It doesn't come off.
Let's soak it with water so I can get rid of it.
You talk to your cats a lot.
The cat looks like it wants you to stop talking.
I need to keep talking to the cats to make them feel comfortable.
- Is that so? - Yes. They don't feel afraid.
- That's right. - Right.
You're so pretty, Pink.
You're clean now.
You don't need to be afraid.
Don't be afraid.
It's okay. It's okay.
I love you, Haeng Woon. I love you.
It's so soft.
Let's wash it.
It's so soft.
You're adorable.
(She washes him with affection.)
How adorable. You're the most adorable cat in the world.
You're done. Well done.
(She speaks cutely to her cats.)
How adorable.
You're so heavy.
It feels so good.
(She has no time to take a break.)
It feels so good.
You'll be done soon.
Haeng Woon, please.
Blanchette, I'll clean your toilet.
I'll clean your toilet, Blanchette.
Good girl.
Oh, the smell.
(The cats use their own toilet.)
(Sun keeps their toilet clean.)
Even your poop is lovely.
How adorable. Your poop is adorable.
Let's eat.
(Now she feeds the cats.)
(Why is she going into the bathroom?)
(She washes the cats' food plates at every meal.)
She takes good care of her cats.
- She's too busy to do other things. - Come here. Let's eat.
Come here. Let's eat.
It's like a scene from a movie. All the cats are gathering.
- Exactly. - It seems so peaceful.
(All of her cats gather to eat.)
Let's eat. Come here.
Everyone, I'll give you some meat.
- Here's meat. - Look at that.
- The cat hit its head. - It's yummy.
Here's yummy meat.
Blanchette, come here.
(Enjoy your meal.)
(The cats are enjoying the food.)
- They're so cute. - They're adorable.
- They're cute. - They eat together.
Geon Gang.
(She calls Geon Gang.)
Wi-wi.
- "Wi-wi"? - "Wi-wi"?
What does "Wi-wi" mean?
I say "Wi-wi" to call the cats to feed them.
- You say that to call them? - Yes.
Geon Gang, here's your meal.
It looks so yummy. It makes my mouth water.
It looks yummy. Come and eat.
(Geon Gang finally shows its face.)
It's yummy.
(She smiles like a mum.)
- It's so cute. - It's cute.
I should have put it in a smaller bowl.
(I'll keep you company while you eat.)
It's good.
It's time to brush your teeth.
(She takes out toothbrushes.)
It's so fun to brush the teeth.
- No way. - You brush their teeth?
- You brush their teeth? - Each one of them?
This is Jung Hoon's toothbrush.
(The cats' names are written on the toothbrushes.)
- There are 10 toothbrushes. - Each one has its own toothbrush.
She even wrote their names on the toothbrushes.
Let's brush your teeth.
I know you like brushing the teeth.
You need to brush your teeth.
Let's brush your teeth. Let's begin.
That's good. Clean your tongue.
What is it doing?
- The toothpaste must be yummy. - Isn't it eating the toothpaste?
They need to clean their tongues first.
Then, I clean their teeth with a thin brush.
You can remove plaque that way.
Brush your teeth nice and clean
The plaque is gone.
It feels great. Good job.
(She kisses her cat.)
Good cat.
Brush your teeth nice and clean You're eating it all.
Brush your teeth
Come out, plaque.
(The final step is an affectionate kiss.)
Go play now.
(She's done brushing all the 10 cats' teeth.)
How adorable.
Eat well and grow up healthy.
Tonky.
(There's cat hair everywhere.)
(She keeps cleaning, but it seems never-ending.)
(She removes the cat hair from her trousers as well.)
(What's it like to live with cats?)
Just watching them makes me happy.
When I look at my cats,
I feel like all the negative energy is going away.
When I feel sad,
they come and comfort me.
They're good listeners, too. These things make me happy.
I'm going to eat now.
I'll have brunch.
(What on earth is brunch?)
I want to eat something delicious.
What are you making?
- Are you preparing your meal? - Yes.
(She puts in anchovy powder, walnuts and dates.)
Put in dates. That's four.
- My goodness. - Good.
(It makes a lot of noise.)
Oh, no. That's a shame.
- She almost caught it. - She almost said, "Nice catch".
I'm embarrassed.
I'm hungry.
(She continues cooking.)
Those are pumpkin seeds.
Anchovy powder, walnut, date and pumpkin seed?
Yes.
I mix them with honey and syrup and spread it on bread.
- It's good for breakfast. - Do you eat that every morning?
That's enough for a week.
I see.
(Next, she makes an omelette.)
Put the onions in.
Passion
(She sings.)
Sweet sweet nightingale
What song are you singing?
I'm singing a song for my cats.
I'm sure that some of your cats prefer a quiet environment.
She keeps talking and singing.
Nightingale
(The cats pay attention.)
(Sun is full of affection and excitement.)
Pop it
Pop it, pop it
(She eats kimchi for brunch.)
Let's wash kimchi
Natto is good for your bowels
Natto, natto, natto
You should be on "King of Mask Singer".
I don't think she's that good at singing.
- She's adorable. - I don't think that's a good idea.
Spread it on bread.
You shouldn't eat too much.
(Sun's mysterious brunch is done.)
It looks delicious.
(Meow)
Why? Why?
Blanchette, why?
- Is that Blanchette? - It's like watching a musical play.
It's here. It's not there. I'll give you this.
Yummy.
Yummy. Haeng Woon.
Haeng Woon, come here.
Enjoy your snack
It's yummy.
It's so yummy.
You look so happy.
You like that, don't you?
You look so happy. I love you.
Say you love me, too. Give me a kiss.
Finally, I'm going to eat.
Oh, I'm tired.
Of course, you're tired. I can see that you mean that.
- That's right. - It's exhausting.
- You know what it's like, right? - Yes.
(She puts natto on the bread...)
(and adds some butter.)
(She adds washed kimchi, as well.)
I wonder how it tastes.
You eat toast with kimchi and natto.
Did you learn that recipe?
No, I just...
try using ingredients that I find in my fridge when I cook.
(It's perfect for my taste.)
It's delicious.
It's good.
Let's boil some water
Let's drink bamboo shoot tea.
- Bamboo shoot tea? - Bamboo shoot tea?
- It's good for your health. - That's right.
It helps prevent adult diseases...
and gets rid of body fat.
- She and I have a lot in common. - It's good to treat swelling.
Would you like to go hiking with me some time?
- I would love to. - What did he say?
(She puts dried bamboo shoots in water.)
A drop of vinegar.
(She jumps up on the table.)
(While Sun is busy making bamboo shoot tea...)
- My goodness. - What is she doing?
- That's Blanchette. - What is she eating?
- I told you the cats would do that. - I think she ate the butter.
Blanchette did it.
Pour purified water in the kettle
I hope the tea brews well...
so it can remove my body fat.
- My goodness. - She ate it.
- Bad cat. - What did she eat?
- Oh, no. - That's a perfect crime.
She's pretending she didn't do anything.
Let's boil it.
(Sun is still focusing on making the tea.)
(Sun's bamboo shoot tea is done.)
It's nice.
(She relaxes and enjoys her tea.)
She finally gets to take a break.
- She finished her morning chores. - Right.
It's nice and cool.
(But her break time doesn't last long.)
(Sun becomes busy again.)
(She dried these pine needles on the veranda.)
Two drops of vinegar.
Add some sesame oil.
(She adds sesame oil.)
I'm making pine needle liquor.
She likes home-made food.
- Yes, I do. - They have a lot in common.
I made liquor myself, too.
- You did? - What did you make?
- I made wild ginseng liquor. - Wild ginseng liquor?
- She made pine needle liquor. - That's right.
I made red ginseng liquor, as well.
- You did? - They have so much in common.
(She puts in the pine needles in a jar.)
It'll be tasty.
(She's excited.)
How much should I pour in? A third? Or more?
(Let's pour it all.)
Can I pour it all?
(She pours 2L of soju.)
This jar is bigger than I thought.
It's so pretty. It looks...
It looks pretty.
(I make my own pine needle liquor.)
That's a large amount.
(It's a work of art.)
Now...
(I'll see you in three months.)
Open it...
(Sun's day begins.)
in three months.
How is it seeing your own lifestyle?
Don't you think it's unique?
You brush all 10 of your cats' teeth.
That's her regular routine.
It's just a normal day for her.
Let's watch instead of talking.
Let's see Sang Ryeol's life with his dogs.
It's Incheon.
- You live in Incheon. - Yes.
Why do you sleep on the floor instead of the bed?
The floor is comfortable when you're old.
(Moongchi)
(He flips over.)
(He starts snorting.)
- What's this noise? - How cute.
- Is that you or your dog? - It's my dog.
He snores.
Come here, Moongchi.
Why aren't you sleeping?
(He snorts again.)
(It's too hot.)
Stop snorting.
He told him to stop.
(I can't help it.)
(This won't do.)
(Snorting)
(I can't sleep because it's too noisy.)
Go sleep over there, Moongchi.
(Please be understanding.)
Sleep there.
Sit.
Sleep there, okay?
(Snorting)
You talk to your dog?
It's like someone you can talk to.
Sleep there.
(He rushes over.)
He wouldn't be a dog if he listened.
How cute.
(Sang Ryeol can't win.)
Hello, I'm Ji Sang Ryeol. I've been living alone for 21 years.
I've had pets since I was born.
I've had pets ever since...
I can remember.
I've spent nearly half a century with dogs.
Godori.
(He stumbles over.)
Ttotto.
(The dogs have taken over the living room.)
Ttotto.
- Is he a Pomeranian? - Yes, he is.
Why are you over there?
(Sang Ryeol has five dogs.)
(He rolls the ball to his direction.)
(He starts to bounce on the ball.)
(Part of the living room is full of LP records.)
There are so many LP records.
Do you...
- Do you collect LP records? - Yes.
I've enjoyed listening to music since I was young.
Same here.
(Humming)
It's been a while since I've seen that.
That turntable is around 30 years old.
(He has a complete sound system.)
I heard that music for the first time in kindergarten.
My oldest brother is almost 20 years older than me.
I started enjoying music because of my brothers.
I think...
I have around 3,000 LP records.
(He starts the morning with music.)
(He rummages through his kitchen.)
(What's this wood?)
What's that?
I'm drinking mistletoe tea for my health.
(Mistletoe is beneficial for joints and circulation.)
Mistletoe?
- It's healthy. - It's good for people who drink.
- You know what it is? - Yes.
You can also add it to chicken soup.
You're perfect for each other.
(Really?)
Come over, and I'll give you some.
I don't know if I should say this but...
you two make a good couple.
Thank you.
I had a feeling from the start.
You're better-looking in person.
- Right? Thank you. - Look how happy he is.
(Look how happy he is.)
I want to be reborn as a cat.
Why all of a sudden?
I want to become a cat.
(He's showing his interest.)
(He made mistletoe tea.)
(He's spills it everywhere.)
I spilled so much of it.
(He wipes it.)
(Sipping)
That's great.
(Lyrical melody...)
(with fragrant tea)
He's listening to music...
- and drinking tea. - It suits him.
What are you reading?
A comic book?
(It's a food delivery menu.)
I thought it was a real book.
I thought he was reading a book.
Goodness.
It may be hard to believe.
However, I start my day with music and tea.
Instead of coffee, I drink...
mistletoe and Manchurian striped maple tea.
There are so many eggs.
I really like eggs.
Goodness.
(The egg cracks loudly.)
There we go.
Yeppi.
Do you want some?
Hold on.
Was it for your dog?
While I eat,
I end up giving them some.
(Give me some, too.)
Come here.
Come out.
Don't fight.
Don't fight with Ttotto.
- Goodness. - I told you not to.
Don't do that.
Stop it.
I'll put you inside then.
Don't fight.
What's wrong, Moongchi?
Stop it.
- Moongchi has an attitude. - He's a troublemaker.
He's jealous.
Don't pee there.
He's marking his territory.
It's someone else's house.
Oh, no.
He doesn't listen.
- Right? - That's right.
Why are you peeing on their bed?
- Goodness. - Oh, no.
Oh, no.
He's pooping.
What's wrong with him?
Moongchi's usually a good boy.
It smells.
(While Sang Ryeol is cleaning, Moongchi is at it again.)
Why are you peeing again?
- He's causing trouble. - Right.
What's wrong?
(Moongchi is rebellious.)
Stop.
I told you to stop.
(He's attacking Shooshoo for no reason.)
He's a spoiled dog.
It's not that. It's instinctive.
He's establishing ranks.
That's right.
He's not doing anything wrong.
Stop it.
Stop, Moongchi.
Come here, Moongchi.
Come here.
Come here, Moongchi.
(He runs away even though Sang Ryeol is calling him.)
Hey!
I told you to stop.
They shouldn't fight.
Look at that.
Hey.
- He's angry. - I told you to stop.
Go inside.
You're tough on him even though you said it's instinctive.
What if they get hurt?
- Moongchi's attacking them. - It's not that bad.
He doesn't bite.
He just pushes them down.
Come here, Moongchi.
(Moongchi gets dragged to the room.)
It's so hot.
(In the end, he's leashed.)
Come here.
I can't leave you alone...
because you fight with the others.
What's wrong with Moongchi, Godori?
Are you scared, Shooshoo?
You're sleepy. Go to sleep.
You fell asleep.
You're tired because...
- Moongchi attacked you. - How cute.
You're out of energy.
You're the same colour as the bear. You two are wearing the same coat.
- They look identical. - They do.
How cute.
Your paws are the same as Wilson's.
Do you want to eat?
Let's eat.
Let's eat, Shooshoo.
Aren't you happy to eat?
How cute.
(He pours nicely.)
(Then he spills the dog food.)
- What's wrong with you? - Why are you spilling everywhere?
(He divides their food into bowls.)
Here.
Ttotto, eat this.
(Ttotto and Shooshoo are relaxed.)
Come here, Shooshoo.
(Moongchi and Godori are in prison.)
Stay there.
Are they being punished?.
- Right. - They're confined.
Godori's ready.
(Godori is with Moongchi for rehabilitation purposes.)
Go ahead and eat.
You were thirsty.
Will they fight while eating?
You two get along so well.
Why do you hate them?
You're even drinking together.
Older people always tell me...
the reason I'm not married is...
because of my dogs.
I think they're right.
If given the choice between...
going on a date or feeding my dogs,
I would choose to feed my dogs without question.
I can't go on a date while my family is hungry.
I admit that I have a problem.
Sorry, hold on.
I know you'll fight again.
(He needs to be separated to maintain peace.)
(He's making breakfast after feeding his dogs.)
His house is pretty clean.
(He's used to cooking after 21 years of living alone.)
Here we go.
(Today's menu is...)
It's bean sprout and clam soup.
Is it hangover soup?
It's not that.
I always eat that for a hearty breakfast.
- It's how I start my day. - Bean sprout soup is good.
(He's washing the clams.)
(He thoroughly cleans them.)
(He adds the ingredients to boiling water.)
(It's ready when it boils.)
Do you have to keep the lid on or off to prevent odours?
Keep it open or closed from the start.
- You know it since you live alone. - Right.
Just pick one person.
(Which one is it?)
(He cracks an egg.)
(It's Sang Ryeol's favourite food.)
- How many eggs are you frying? - It's scrambled eggs.
It's around five eggs.
You have to mix it up.
(The main point is to mix the egg yolk.)
(That looks great.)
All done.
It looks good.
(Those are good-looking fried eggs.)
It's delicious, Ttotto.
(They've gathered because of the smell.)
Do you want to eat eggs?
You can have one each.
You're more work than a child.
Here, Moongchi.
You're feeding the dogs.
(Sang Ryeol feeds leashed Moongchi first.)
Are you giving your eggs to the dogs?
You're like their dad.
Eat, Moongchi.
I have to feed the others.
Just feeding the dogs...
How many hours has it been?
(It's a special treat.)
(It begins to boil.)
Oh, my goodness.
It's nearly ready.
Let's add the chilli peppers.
(He cuts the chilli peppers.)
It will be delicious.
They look like side dishes for drinking.
- That's true. - You always eat that for breakfast?
Yes.
- It looks good. - It looks delicious.
He's a good cook.
It's tasty.
(Sang Ryeol's meal is ready.)
(Let's eat.)
(I'm full, so I'm going to sleep.)
- That looks good. - It looks good.
- It looks good. - It really does.
Did you drink the night before?
No.
You don't drink every day?
I'll die if I do.
(I'd die I drink every day now.)
(The soup is refreshing, salty and spicy.)
(It is delicious.)
I'm going to mix it.
- The dogs don't rush over. - Right.
You're eating well.
That looks good.
Bean sprout bibimbap is delicious.
- That looks good. - Amazing.
(He adds sesame oil and gochujang.)
Bean sprout bibimbap?
You should eat what you like.
Make your own recipe.
(He takes a big spoonful after mixing.)
(He digs in.)
(This is it.)
It's delicious.
The eggs and bean sprouts are delicious.
(The eggs and bean sprouts are a fantastic combination.)
Why eat out?
(It's delicious.)
The meal was a success.
- That looks good. - The meal was a success?
(Wow)
Sang Ryeol,
you love dogs so much.
- Dogs come before dating, right? - Yes.
Do you feel the same, Sunwoo?
I would take care of my cats before going on a date.
Does that mean you go on dates?
The most important thing is...
if I had to choose between my cats or dating,
- my cats would come first. - Right.
For example,
Sang Ryeol has five dogs...
and you have 10 cats. What if you got together?
What then?
If the person I loved also had pets,
we could move to a bigger house and keep them separated.
I have plenty of room.
I can make room for the cats.
- You have a big house. - Right.
You fit so well together based on the footage.
Do we need to see more?
(He's jealous.)
However...
I'm excited.
(I'm excited.)
(She's embarrassed.)
Let's watch more, so you two can decide.
- All right. - See what you think.
- It's the afternoon now. - I can't wait.
(It's a hot afternoon at Sang Ryeol's house.)
It's really hot today.
Drink water.
(He gives them cool water.)
Yeppi.
(He goes to find Yeppi.)
(Yeppi is hiding in the room at the end.)
I have a sink for when I get married.
- Is that a storage room? - I have a chest of drawers.
For when I get married.
- Really? - Your house is big.
(It's full of brand new items.)
The room at the end is for storage.
My sister-in-law gave me a sink.
Her friends...
gave me a table and drawers. My aunt gave me gifts, too.
The room ended up...
being used for storage.
- Your wife will be happy. - You're not planning to marry.
Why would they give you gifts like that?
When they gave me gifts,
they thought I'd get married soon.
- Right. - Yes.
I can't handle it.
It's such a waste. I've never used it.
It's all old now.
I've never used it.
(His newlywed furniture collects nothing but dust.)
This is so old.
Everyone has mobile phones now.
It's weird to use a cordless phone.
You had that for 20 years?
- For marriage? - Yes.
They thought I'd need it.
- "Use it when you get married." - Of course.
You waited over 20 years.
That's true.
People used to say...
you'd get married or have a baby if you have this.
I can't remember.
What's that?
I've seen that in elderly wealthy people's homes.
It's a tree that was struck by lightning.
- I see. - That's right.
That doesn't really fit a newlywed's house.
It also keeps ghosts away.
I don't think it's right for a newlywed's house.
It's scarier than ghosts.
Really?
(He's embarrassed.)
My wife can come as she is.
I have everything ready.
It's such a waste.
If I had a wife,
I'd already be using those things.
It's wasting away.
(Sang Ryeol is cooking.)
Sooyook needs to be thick.
Are you making sooyook?
Are you packing lunch?
I'm getting ready to go somewhere.
- You're going out? - You're a good cook.
It's almost ready.
I'll slice it now.
It's hot.
How cute.
- How adorable. - That looks good.
(He's amazed at his own cooking skills.)
It's delicious.
- Look at her. - She wants some.
They all came.
How cute.
(They all gathered at his remark.)
It's delicious.
(He gives each of his dogs a bite.)
(Sang Ryeol packs up the food.)
This is awesome.
He's a good cook.
It's unexpected.
- Me? - Yes.
Let's go.
(Isn't my dad great?)
Be good, Shooshoo.
Have fun, Ttotto.
Don't go out.
Stay there, Yeppi.
(It's a dog theme park in Ilsan.)
Hello.
How are you?
Hi, Sang Don.
He's so happy.
- He's so happy to see you. - Is that Sang Don?
Look at him.
Is Sang Don, Sang Geun's son?
That's right.
(Sang Geun was everyone's beloved dog that appeared on TV.)
(He was Sang Ryeol's best friend.)
Is that Sang Geun's son?
- It's his son. - Sit down.
Are you doing well?
I think he's mad at me.
- You haven't visited in a while. - Yes.
Visit us more often.
I've been busy.
Sit, Sang Don.
- Sit. - He's obedient.
Good boy.
I raised...
Sang Don until he was this big.
However, Sang Don...
tends to bark a lot.
When he barks,
the neighbours could hear it.
The neighbours complained about the barking.
That happened often.
Unfortunately,
I had to find another home for him.
I always feel bad about it.
(He feels bad that they can't live together.)
Is he doing well?
He's doing great.
Sang Don, do you want to try that?
Is that a training facility?
It's like a dog boarding kennel.
- Is it a dog boarding kennel? - Yes.
- I see. - Can anyone visit?
Of course.
Sang Don.
Good boy.
Goodness.
He missed you.
- How cute. - He's big.
- He looks just like Sang Geun. - How cute.
They look the same.
Sang Don is so big.
He's good.
He went up with him.
He can't go up.
(I'm embarrassed.)
I slipped. It's slippery.
This is hard.
Come here, Sang Don. Let's go.
Let's go.
One, two, three.
Let's go. That's right.
One more time.
(Sang Don listens to him well.)
Okay.
Good job.
You did great.
Come here, Sang Don. Come.
He's eight years old.
If he were a person, he would be over 50.
- I see. - He's quite old.
Come here.
(After exercise, they take a walk.)
(Sang Ryeol walks him for a long time. Sang Don looks excited.)
I'm sorry. I should have come to see you more often.
I see you only once or twice a week.
I feel bad.
(He feels terrible that he can't visit more often.)
Isn't it hot, Sang Don?
Hang on. Are you hot?
Stay still.
Do you want some water?
(It's a cooling vest for Sang Don.)
- What is that? - He gets hot easily.
- I see. - For Sang Don,
it's the same...
- That's right. - as being in a sauna.
- It's cool, right? - We don't know about these things.
That's true.
Let's go. We're almost here.
Let's eat.
I'm hungry.
Let's eat.
This is a good spot.
It looks good here.
(What should I eat first?)
Can you eat? You look hot.
(First, it's beef jerky for dogs.)
Do you want some?
(Do you want some, Sang Don?)
- Oh, my. - He's swift.
We've been doing it since he was young.
Good job.
Let's try this from a long distance. Stay there.
Stay there.
- He doesn't miss a single one. - Great.
You still got it.
He looks exactly like Sang Geun.
Well done.
(It reminds him of the time they used to live together.)
Hey. There is an even better treat.
Did you know? Do you want to try this?
- It's sooyook. - The one you made.
He's going to love it.
- Oh, my goodness. - Oh, my.
- Goodness. - Oh, my.
- He doesn't wait. - This is...
- He doesn't wait at all. - He wanted to share it.
He's in such a hurry.
We should share.
He doesn't want to share.
- Oh, my. - You're eating it all.
- He can't resist the smell. - Hey.
It must be delicious.
- Leave a piece for me. - You wanted to share that, right?
- You're eating it all. - Yes. I even took kimchi.
You wanted to eat it with kimchi.
- He ate it all. - He finished it.
I wanted to eat it with kimchi and vegetables.
- Goodness. - He emptied the container.
What is this?
(Was it that delicious?)
- I'll give you boiled eggs now. - They're so cute.
This is delicious.
- We used to eat it often at home. - He's so cute.
He eats well.
We used to do this often.
- Oh, my. - We used to...
- That must have hurt. - Do you remember?
Strangers shouldn't do this to him. He will bite you.
(A knock on the head after a long time is quite sobering.)
Hold on.
Eat it. Here.
Sang Don. Here.
(Eating)
It looks like you're enjoying it.
(Before they know it, the sun slowly sets.)
It's going to rain. It's good that we came back before the rain.
It's going to pour.
(They come back from their walk.)
- Sang Don must be tired. - Yes.
It's time for your dad to go home.
I should have come more often. I feel so bad.
- Sang Don might forget you. - I know.
He shouldn't forget his dad.
I see him only once or twice a week at most.
- I know. - Are you leaving?
- Yes. - Goodbye, Sang Don.
- I'll come back soon. - He just has to wait.
Okay?
(Sadly, it's time to say goodbye.)
Sang Don.
I'm going now. Come here.
(They say good bye.)
See you soon, okay?
- He knows I'm leaving. - He does.
I'll come back soon.
(It's hard for him to leave.)
Dogs have facial expressions.
- They do. - His eyes are drooping.
- Don't worry about him. - Right.
- You don't have to feel bad. - Okay.
- Thank you both. - Of course.
Sang Don, see you next time.
All right?
- His eyes look different. - He's sad.
- He is like a person. - Oh, dear.
I feel bad.
- It's sad. - It's all right.
(Although he can't speak, they communicate with their eyes.)
(Sang Ryeol always feels bad for him.)
See you later.
(Sang Don is sad to see his dad leave again.)
- I'll be going then. - All right.
- It's so sad. - Take care.
- All right. - Say goodbye, Sang Don.
Don't trip over.
- Look at him. - Say goodbye, Sang Don.
- He's staring at Sang Ryeol. - Yes.
- He can't take his eyes off him. - Right.
(Sang Ryeol keeps looking back.)
Stay.
(He keeps looking back.)
(They will be apart for a short while.)
- It's like a scene from a movie. - I'm happy when I visit...
- I know. - but it's hard to leave him.
- Of course. - Yes.
You must want to take him with you.
It's heart-rending...
and I feel like there is a lump in my chest.
I want to give him something more but I feel bad that I can't.
Whenever I leave him, my heart feels heavy.
- You feel bad. - I do.
(After seeing Sang Don,)
(he goes to the gym.)
You went to the boxing gym.
Do you have the same hobby as Chae A?
- Really? - Do you box?
- Just a little. - Really?
Take it slow today. You've not been for a while and your shoulders hurt.
- Age can't be helped. - You're in your 50s.
Take it easy.
How long have you been boxing?
About two years.
You've been doing it for a while then.
- You must be good. - I like working out.
- I'm not very good though. - I'm surprised.
All right.
(The real exercise begins now.)
Thank you. All right.
Take your position.
One, two.
- One, two. - It looks good.
- He's good. - I can do that much.
- Pardon? - I did it last time.
(He never lets go of his opponent.)
Give me a jab. Again.
Jab, jab and straight.
- It's not easy to do that. - It must be tiring.
It looks good.
- That's really exhausting. - Right.
- It's hard to do. - That's right.
(I'm Boxer Ji from Songdo with sharp punches.)
"Today, I'm the champion."
- You have to keep moving. - It's very hard.
The reason why I take extra care of my health...
is that if I...
Well...
If I ever get married...
and have a healthy child,
as a father, I should be able to carry my child with just one hand.
- That's right. - A good father...
- should be able to do that. - That's what every guy wants to do.
That's why I try to stay healthy.
(He works hard to get ready to get married and have children.)
You have to work hard to get that muscle.
- Wow. - Wow.
I want to age gracefully.
I shouldn't look like this when I carry my child.
(He takes care of his health for the future.)
- You're so great. - He is.
Every guy wants to carry their baby in one hand...
- like a Hollywood star. - Like this.
- That's right. - All he needs...
is a partner. He has prepared everything.
- You even have a house. - That's right.
- Then... - Yes.
- You may think I'm too hasty. - Okay.
What do you think of Sun?
As your future partner. I'm serious.
- You should get to know each other. - As I watched her video,
Go on.
I was sure she would...
- raise her children properly. - That's true.
That's right. I thought so, too.
- I could see it in her video. - She will make a great mother.
- At least our child, - She is a wise woman.
- even if I die, - Go on.
she will raise our child to be a doctor, at least.
That's right. I agree.
She will be a wise wife.
I think so, too.
Do you own your place?
Yes. I originally bought it for my parents...
- but they... - That's an important matter.
Sang Ryeol is so happy to hear that she owns it.
Sure.
He's never been this happy.
- You're like this. - I won't make my wife work.
(Is this a matchmaking show?)
- Today, it's... - Right.
Then we should watch how Sun spends her afternoon.
- All right. - Let's watch it.
(It's the afternoon of hard-working Sun.)
- You're singing again. - She's singing.
- I should practise. - I heard...
you'll be on the musical, "Cats".
- What is that? - Hey, Tonky.
It looks like what Song Eun I carries around.
- Are you working on something? - Yes.
She is very dexterous.
(She has everything from an electric drill...)
(to screws of all sizes.)
(She sets to work now.)
Now...
Let's fix it.
- What is that? - Really?
You made your cats' toilet yourself?
I made a toilet for my cats but it's unfinished.
I was repairing it.
(She decides where to attach the handles.)
(She gets it done at once.)
Did you refer to a blueprint or something?
No. I come up with my own ideas.
I observe what my cats do and like.
- I watch how they move and play. - I see.
(She makes custom furniture for her cats.)
She has so many talents.
Most of the things...
in the cats' room are made by me. Dishes for the cats,
toilet,
the catwalk on the wall...
- You made them all? - Yes.
and the stairs.
Those are the simple ones.
It's fun to make things with my hands.
If you think outside the box,
there will be many things you can make.
It's amazing.
(Now, she begins something else in the study.)
- Do you even do leather crafting? - Yes.
Leather crafting?
- She's really dexterous. - I've been doing it for a while.
They're pretty shoes... but they're worn out.
- so I'm reforming them. - You're reforming them.
Oh, my.
- That's a wiper. - It's unbelievable.
She even has all the tools.
(There is nothing that Sun can't do.)
Did you bring anything here for us to see?
This is the first bag I made.
- Did you make that? - Yes.
I made it.
I also made this bracelet.
- You made this? - Did you make that?
- Yes. - Did you sew it yourself?
- Wow. - Yes. I sewed it by hand.
- You sewed every stitch by hand? - Yes.
- It's great. - It's pretty.
Look at that.
- A girl can tell. - Do you think it's pretty?
Yes, I do.
I also made this keyholder.
- You did? - Yes.
(She's good at everything.)
I feel like I should put some money in this bag.
Thank you.
(Her heart skips a beat.)
Your money is her money now.
Why don't you really give her some money?
Everything you have is hers.
(Let's wash up.)
Didn't you wash your face earlier?
(She washed her cat gently...)
(but she rubs at her face roughly.)
Don't you wash often?
I like your pajamas.
I understand.
Now, she doesn't have any makeup on.
(I feel refreshed.)
I didn't know you showed all that.
Oh, no.
It's nice.
(She uses her closet as a makeup table)
It's hot.
What's going on with the weather?
(She applies toner and sunblock.)
That's better.
(She is ready to go out.)
Let's go.
Kitties.
Kitties,
I'll see you later.
(Bye.)
Have a nice day.
Let's go.
(It's pouring down with rain.)
(Is she going into a forest?)
(Please help the stray cats. Have a nice day.)
What's that?
(She lays out food...)
(for the stray cats in the neighbourhood.)
(She puts out clean water and food every day.)
I asked the neighbours if it would be okay.
- Are you feeding stray cats? - Yes. I created that area.
I see.
(The sweet Sun takes care of stray cats.)
(She leaves after making sure the stray cats have food.)
(Ah)
- Are you singing again? - Sweet, sweet nightingale
- I'm not a good singer. - Didn't you sing that earlier?
- How long have you liked that song? - It's from "Cinderella".
I'm excited.
(Hanam, Gyeonggi Province)
(A group of people are dressed in black.)
Good morning.
- Hi. - Hello.
- It's good to see you. - You, too.
- Do you learn martial arts? - Yes.
What's that?
- I'll join you after I warm up. - Okay.
(She has been learning stunt moves since the shoot of "Jeon Woo Chi".)
- I've been learning for a while. - Amazing.
- You can do that? - Yes.
(She's as flexible as a ballerina.)
Kick forward four times.
One, two.
(She kicks without hesitation.)
- She's good. - She's very good.
She looks like Angelina Jolie, right?
You still have it. Next.
- My legs look weird. - One, two, three, four.
One, two. There you go.
(She does a turning kick.)
- You can do that, too? - Your kicks are on spot.
Good job.
(She could break bones with such a kick.)
Ready, go.
One, two, three.
- Wow. - Turning kick.
Guard.
Guard and avoid.
Let's try that again.
- One, two, three. - One, two, three.
You have strong punches.
- Can I do that again? - Okay.
That's good.
- One more time. - Let's go.
- Three, four. - Three, four. Good.
That's good.
Have some water, and I'll see you over there.
- Okay. - Take a break.
You look different from when you were at home.
- Yes. You looked very feminine. - You're a totally different person.
- You turned into a warrior. - That's attractive.
Yes. She's attractive.
- Let's try one thing. - Okay.
Watch.
There you go.
- Oh, dear. - No, his stomach.
Oh, I'm sorry.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
- Punch his abdomen. - One.
- Abdomen. - Now grab him.
- Are you practising? - Yes. We put the moves together.
That's difficult.
Add some music to the scene. It would look like a movie.
Let's try up to that part.
Ready, go.
(The neighbourhood thug didn't realise she could take him down.)
(You're in trouble.)
- There you go. - Oh, no.
- Are you okay? - She really hit him.
- Are you okay? - Is he okay?
She threw him to the ground.
Stand back up.
- Goodness. - That must be tiring.
They are running away.
Well done.
- They're so cute. - Let's try that again.
Okay.
Ready, go.
What?
What are you doing?
She's good.
How do you answer that question?
Should I introduce myself?
(The thugs are in trouble.)
How would you answer it?
- Let go. - Don't tell me what to do.
She's speaking as she goes.
She can do that because she knows what she's doing.
Okay. Good job.
It isn't easy to memorise the moves.
This is fun.
- You're impressive. - No, I'm not.
You could shoot a movie right now.
Ready, go. One.
(She practises with a wire this time.)
- No. Wait. - I never saw this before.
(It's now.)
- Wow. - You're good at handling swords.
Jump up.
You look like a Chinese actress.
Let's try that again. Do you feel the pull of the wire?
- Yes. - That's when you jump.
Ready, go slow.
(Even professional stuntmen find wire actions difficult.)
(Sun has no difficulties at all.)
Pull. That's right.
(She lands perfectly.)
That was amazing.
The Chinese film industry will want you in their movies.
When I get a new role,
it might include active roles.
That's what I'm preparing for. I don't know when I'll need it.
I don't know what kind of film I'll be asked to star in.
When I get cast,
I'll be able to play my role better than other people.
It doesn't have to be martial arts...
but I believe...
that actresses need to have something...
- others don't. - Of course.
That's how I get people to cast me.
If I were the same as everybody else,
(Nobody will cast me if I wasn't unique.)
there would be no reason to cast me.
You try so much harder than other actors.
Your afternoons showed us surprising aspects of your lives.
- Exactly. - You box and she learns action.
You're a good match.
- You two have so many similarities. - You do.
We do, don't we?
You seem like a couple that's been married for a decade or two.
- Really? - Yes.
Don't you think you should date?
When you go home after the shoot,
discuss it with your parents.
You two look good together.
- They do, don't they? - It's strangely so.
Don't you have licences for various types of sports?
- That was surprising. - I have a 4th dan in taekwondo.
4th dan?
I majored in community physical education...
so I have licences for community sports and aerobics.
- Aerobics? - Yes.
I also have one for sports massage and leisure sports instructor.
I have knots in my shoulders.
(Just hit it yourself.)
You two had similarities...
but you both had equally surprising aspects.
- I was surprised. - Me, too.
Do you have more surprises for us during the evening or no?
Do you just drink at night, as you do?
- Being yourself could be fun. - I can't wait to see.
- Watch closely. - Okay.
You could be his future wife.
- His future wife? - Future wife...
(It's night at Sang Ryeol's home.)
- It's dark. - How were you, Ttotto?
Come in.
There you go.
- They're so cute. - They must be happy to see him.
How was your day, Moongchi?
How was it?
(Welcome home, Dad.)
There.
Who pooped here?
(He cleans up after his dogs as soon as he comes home.)
- I told you to use the potty pad. - Oh, dear.
(He looks like he's used to it.)
This looks recent.
(He doesn't complain about it.)
Do you clean up after them every day?
- You're very diligent. - Can't they go in one place?
She's so cute. My goodness, she's so cute.
My day...
at the boxing gym was tough.
- I had a hard workout... - She looks calmer than before.
and then boxed straight after so my legs were shaky.
I could barely stand straight.
(You can do it, Dad!)
(Sang Ryeol had a hard day.)
My legs gave way.
Your legs gave way?
- Are you taking supplements? - Vitamins.
- He needs them. - I have high blood pressure.
Right, Shooshoo?
I'll drink onion juice.
My hands are shaking.
What is onion juice good for?
It's good for people with high blood pressure.
It's also good for people with hyperlipidemia.
It also helps lose body fat.
I heard when you hit 50,
you gather around with your friends...
and talk about high blood pressure and diabetes.
Everyone has some kind of health issue.
It came early in my case.
I had to read something on live TV...
but I couldn't read it.
I was diagnosed with presbyopia...
and that there was nothing I could do about getting old.
I was blank for a few days...
- but it's inevitable. - That's right.
Even if it was all of a sudden...
I should just accept it and try to be happy.
I should call Yoon Ah.
I haven't seen her for so long.
(Sang Ryeol makes a video call.)
Hello?
- Oh, Yoon Ah. You were sleeping! - Yoon Ah?
- Yoon Ah. - She's so cute.
This is your grandpa.
- Grandpa? - Say hi to Moongchi.
- Are you really her grandpa? - She must be your niece's baby.
You call yourself Grandpa?
- You're already a grandfather? - She's your niece.
- She's his niece's baby. - That's your niece, then.
I should get married soon, too.
Wait a second. If I get married...
and have a baby, what's going to happen?
Don't worry about the family tree and just get married already.
- He should get married. - She's right.
What time does Yoon Ah usually go to bed and wake up these days?
She goes to bed at 10pm...
and wakes up at 6:30am.
I mean, it's not like she has to go to work.
Make her work at the city hall.
Her routine is perfect for a job at the Incheon Metropolitan City Hall.
Gosh, she's adorable.
- She's so calm. - Sang Ryeol looks so happy.
- You're an unmarried grandpa. - I know, right?
I should go see a fortune-teller.
Yoon Ah, it's time to go to bed.
I'll see you soon! Uncle will... Oh, I don't mean "Uncle".
- Grandpa will visit you soon! - It must be confusing.
- Sweet dreams! Bye! - Yes, it's confusing.
- Sang Ryeol looks so happy. - He should get married soon.
- He does. - Of course.
(He feels restless.)
(He pulls out an old record.)
(The turntable is turning.)
(Eric Clapton's song fills up his living room.)
This is his ritual for staring and ending his days.
I know.
Come here.
(Loneliness always hits us out of nowhere.)
Everyone who lives alone goes through those moments.
Those moments when you feel alone.
(Tonight, he's lost in thought all alone like a lonely island.)
A thousand emotions and thoughts swept through me at once.
People tell me to stop obsessing over my dogs...
and to start spending more time with people.
Such words affect me more nowadays.
They pierce my heart and the wounds seem to accumulate.
I think that the intensity of loneliness one experiences...
- does deepen with age. - Yes.
I agree.
(Before he heads to bed)
Moongchi, let's watch a movie.
Let's clean this video player first. It's old.
(He watches movies on video tape.)
Godori, my vision has gotten so bad.
Isn't that a video player cleaner?
- I like watching movies on it. - You must know what that is.
- That thing? - Yes.
- No, I don't know what it is. - How is that possible?
Were you living in seclusion or what?
How can you not know that? You're that generation.
- You don't know what a tape is? - I have that tape.
- You have that, too? - Yes.
- That's amazing. - I had so many tapes...
- but my mum threw out many of them. - These two are so similar.
It's done. It's clean now.
(Piles of old tapes occupy one corner of his room.)
- "Kill Bill" and... - "Interview with the Vampire".
- You still have that tape? - These movies are great...
but "A Moment to Remember" is a true masterpiece. How beautiful.
Let's watch this one. "A Moment to Remember".
Let's watch this movie.
- Many good movies are on now. - Why do you watch...
those old movies instead of newer ones?
There's something very special about those films.
- I agree. - It's charming in its own way.
He sounds like a man in his 60s.
- He sounds like someone my age. - He could be your friend.
Yes, seriously.
(He turns the light off.)
(His room has been turned into a vintage home theatre.)
(He's relying on the light from his ancient phone.)
(I cherish old things.)
I tend to like old things.
I listen to old records and watch tapes from time to time.
When you experience those things,
you realise, "Oh, I've been too busy to enjoy life."
Hence, you could say that my pace...
is much slower than that of most people these days.
This movie is a masterpiece.
Gosh, she's stunning.
(He takes a trip down memory lane with this old movie.)
(Sang Ryeol's day was filled with nostalgia and romance.)
That was awesome.
From records to tapes, his lifestyle is very analogue.
You probably don't use the internet often, either.
No. I don't think I've ever read...
those online comments people talk about.
It's good that you didn't read them.
I know. Well...
I'm clueless when it comes to such things.
- You would've been so surprised. - Did you not read them on purpose?
Sang Ryeol, was there any specific moment when your dogs comforted you?
I had complications with my right foot.
- I see. - I didn't know why...
but my dog used to smell my right leg all the time.
Oh, my.
- "Why is my dog doing this?" - Right.
It turned out that I had serious infection in my right knee.
- Cats do that, too. - Right.
- Has it happened to you, as well? - When I'm feeling unwell,
my cats come to me and try to express those things.
When one cat is sick, other cats come to me...
and keep calling me to get me to look...
- at the sick cat. - How do they call you?
- Do they call for Mum? - They go like this.
- I see. - Yes. They go, "Meow."
It sounds like "Mum".
They make all kinds of weird sounds.
(They make all kinds of sounds to get my attention.)
(It's evening and Sun arrives at a cafe.)
You didn't go home after working out that hard?
I actually felt more energised after the workout.
- Right, of course. - Yes.
- I don't understand that at all. - Same here.
I got here first.
Oh, I guess you were meeting someone?
Why did she want to meet at 9pm?
(Who is she waiting for at this late hour?)
What was she doing?
- Who is that? - From behind...
Hi! My gosh!
Who is she?
It's been so long! Have you been well?
Where are you coming from?
- Me? - Yes.
Oh, Choi Kang Hee! It's Kang Hee.
- I was at a church service. - I knew it.
I definitely knew it.
You've lost a lot of weight. Are you on a diet?
Me? No, I'm fasting.
- When did you start? - Tuesday evening.
I see, since Tuesday evening. You look good.
- You look like back then... - Really?
when we were shooting "My Scary Girl".
- That's when we first met. - I see, that's how you met.
Is that already 10 years ago?
Yes. It's 2016 now.
(Kang Hee feels dizzy.)
I think we both had a good first impression of each other.
- It was mutual, right? - When I first saw you...
I still vividly remember the moment I first saw you.
You really looked like a doll.
- You're still very pretty. - I feel the exact same way.
- We hit it off right away. - Let's stop flattering each other.
Well, this may sound cheesy...
but I was looking at you getting your make-up done,
thinking that your eyes were very pretty.
I thought, "She's really cute."
I liked your vibe.
You were giving off such pleasant energy.
I think I practically lived at your place after that.
- Oh, right. - My mum was like, "Come home."
Back then, I was running an online store as well as an off-line shop.
I used to take you around my shop...
telling people how good you were with karate sticks.
- And I'd show them. - You swung them like this.
Then we'd go to another store.
"You know her, right? Watch her swinging her karate sticks."
- Then you'd do it again. - Why did you do that?
I wanted to show you off.
I find it fascinating.
- I know. I've changed a lot, right? - Yes.
We'd be blank-faced and draw together...
- We were blank-faced. - and cry together.
- We'd talk about something, - Then we'd laugh together.
listen to music and then watch movies together.
- We painted together, too. - We did.
I don't get that same vibe from you any more.
You no longer look lonely or sad.
I'm not lonely but I feel burdened.
(I feel burdened.)
You're too preoccupied with your cats.
I feel burdened...
and my mum nags me so much because of my cats.
Right, I can understand her.
- I should've moved out. - She wants you to be happy.
She probably thinks you're too focused on your cats.
She must think they've taken over your life.
Are you dating these days?
Me? Dating?
- You're not seeing anyone? - No, I'm not dating now.
- What if you meet someone now? - I'm single now.
Your mum must be worried.
I guess she is...
My mum had forgotten my age.
- Really? - She had lost track...
of my age and only recently realised how old I am now.
I've just been going to church and not done much work...
so people started asking her my age.
That made her realise how old I am.
- Really? - So she started feeling anxious.
"My daughter is different from other people."
I think that's what she thinks.
But I...
Right now,
I don't want to live a special life.
I just want to be normal.
If I meet a nice guy, I'd like to...
- date him and marry him. - I can really relate to that.
- That's good advice. - I don't want to live alone.
But...
I think this might be why I'm bad at dating.
When I'm with someone, I want to be able to understand...
the person's weaknesses...
- Okay. - You should embrace them.
I want to be able to embrace them.
I think I'm scared of getting married when I'm not there yet.
But if I meet someone now, I should probably just get married.
You'll work on it together with him.
If you meet the right person, you two will work on it together.
To be honest, we used to make more money in the past.
Right? We were younger, too.
- Yes, back then... - You, too. You were younger then.
- We were definitely younger. - We were more popular, too.
I still don't think I'd exchange what I have now with that.
- Really? - I love where I am right now.
(I really like where I am now.)
Right.
Still,
there's this feeling of loneliness.
I think that we all should have...
a secret place in our hearts.
We also need a person and place that can always comfort us.
(We all need someone who can understand us.)
We need one person at the very least.
She's saying a lot of wise things.
Do you have someone like that?
- Me? - Someone who really...
- She has Sang Ryeol. - understands you.
You just need one person like that.
- I don't think I've found... - That could be an outlet.
Yes. That person would be like an outlet for me.
It would actually be much more than that.
It would give me all the energy in the world.
I should...
get married. I do want to get married.
Is it already too late?
(Is it too late?)
As I get older,
I find that I'm becoming emotionally...
Shall I say that I'm becoming emotionally dull?
When people are so in love, they get blinded by it.
If love like that comes to me again,
I could get married.
If I could meet someone who loves my cats...
as much as I love them,
I'd marry him right away.
Yes.
(Ripping)
- Oh, no. - What's wrong?
- My skirt ripped. - Did it?
My goodness.
(You're so clumsy.)
What do I do?
I have leather crafting tools.
- What do you need to fix this? - Bring it to my place.
There are so many tools.
- Then I'll... - I'll have to do it by hand.
- You two are very similar. - I'll remember to bring it.
- We're similar. - Okay.
When will your fast be over?
- My fast? - Yes.
Soon. It'll be over in a few days.
Let's go for something delicious as soon as your fast is over.
Are you okay?
Let's go.
(They hold hands.)
- You look even skinnier. - Me? No, I'm the same.
You look pretty when you're skinny.
- You two look so lovely together. - They look...
- I should tell you to gain weight. - so cute together.
Come out often. No. I'll visit you.
Okay. Bring your skirt.
I'm home.
My babies, did you have a good day?
What do they do when you leave the lights off?
There's a small lamp for them that turns on and off automatically.
I'll give you some meat. Snack time!
You're so happy.
(She feeds her cats before she can even get changed.)
She serves her cats as soon as she gets home.
Wi-wi.
(We're getting meat for dinner, too.)
Let's eat meat.
- All of them are coming out. - They're gathering.
- They want to eat. - "Let's eat!"
- They're so cute. - Aren't you going to come out?
Yes.
(Devouring)
- They listen to her. - "It's delicious."
- Meat time. - Geon Gang.
(Geon Gang gets a separate meal.)
Did you get a lot of exercise today?
It's time to eat.
I know you're hungry.
(Geon Gang gets special treatment.)
I'll put water there for you.
(It's delicious.)
Geon Gang, come here.
Your water is here, okay?
(Geon Gang also has a separate water bowl.)
- I have to give them water, too. - Your day must go by fast.
(She eats dinner after feeding her cats.)
(Her cats are right by her side while she eats.)
It's a simple meal.
- It does look simple. - Yes.
(She can't take her eyes off her cats even during her meal.)
Jung Hoon, what are you doing?
(Mum, are you eating something delicious?)
(Sun finishes her meal quickly.)
(Guys, I think she's finished.)
Come here.
You're so happy.
Come here. My babies, you are so pretty.
Wi-wi.
(Wi-wi)
- Are you in "Cats" again? - Wi-wi.
Wi-wi.
Come here.
(Come here.)
Wi-wi. This is so delicious.
This is tasty, right?
(She can't eat snacks, but...)
Come here.
- Wi-wi. - I still can't tell who's who.
- Me, too. - I know, right?
If you look at them closely, you'll see they all look different.
- Right. - Yes.
It's delicious, right? You're loving it. You're so cute.
Oh, dear. You're so adorable. I can see you're excited.
(The cat is excited.)
You're so cute.
Today, I'll read, "The Little Prince" to you.
- You read them books? - "The Little Prince..."
"finally found a path after wandering through..."
"the sand and rocks as well as on a field of snow."
- Do your cats understand the story? - "He asked the flowers,"
"Who are you?"
"We're roses."
They probably just like listening to her voice.
- They must like her voice. - Yes.
"The Little Prince turned around and said hello..."
''but he couldn't see anyone.''
- They enjoy this. - "The voice spoke again."
"I'm here, underneath the apple tree."
When you live alone, you feel lonely and sad at times.
In some ways, I'd be more worried about myself.
Whenever those feelings hit me,
I look at my cats and find peace of mind.
If my cats and I can love each other more,
then I think I can be happier.
Oh, my shoulders.
(She heats something up on the stove.)
(What's this?)
(Is that a rock?)
- What are you heating up? - Is that a stone?
Yes. They're germanium rocks found on seashores.
If you heat them up and put them...
on areas where you feel pain, they will relieve the aches.
It's like a hot water bottle.
- That must be a special rock. - Yes.
- It's a germanium rock. - That's correct.
(She likes using alternative remedies.)
(She heads to her bedroom with the warm rocks.)
This feels so nice.
My lower back hurts.
(She uses the warm rocks...)
(to relax her tense muscles.)
(Germanium, please melt away my fatigue.)
(Cat-loving Sun's day has come to an end.)
Pet lovers must have loved today's episode.
Both of you love your pets so much.
- Looking after 10 cats isn't easy, - Of course.
especially when I have to bathe them.
However, I'm so happy when I'm with them.
- The happiness they give me... - I know.
can't and won't be replaced with anything.
- It's indescribable. - Exactly.
I have five dogs and I've decided not to adopt any more pets...
- because I'm getting older, too. - Okay.
If I adopt a new dog,
it'll probably live for about 15 years.
I might not be able to be there for the dog until the end.
- Don't say that. - No, don't get me wrong.
I'm not trying to make you sad or anything.
I'll take responsibility for the five dogs I have now.
I've received so much from my dogs over the years,
so I've decided...
to volunteer for animals instead later.
I joked about how the two of you should date...
but I think you two should become friends, at least.
That way, you can share information, too.
- You two will get along so well. - I agree.
- I'm happy to have met her. - Likewise.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you for being so open and honest.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
It was so good to see you today. Great work.
You were great.
(One summer night at Yeouido Park)
This place is great at night.
(He enjoys a concert from a great seat.)
What's there to do in Yeouido at this hour?
Just go home.
(He enjoys lonesome romance on the grass.)
(It's the highlight of the day.)
(His dance was close to winning over all the ladies.)
(I had fun today. I really did.)
