She reveals her house in Korea to the public for the first time.
She eats with her family at the dinner table.
The food is cold.
She even meets with some pretty volleyball players.
Kim Yeon Koung's single life in Korea will be revealed.
My hair is terrible.
Am I shaking?
It's the day of 2016 MBC Drama Awards.
Lee Si Eon who played Su Bong in "W" is nominated for a New Actor award.
Don't say anything bad.
I don't want any bad luck tonight.
I Live Alone, "The Night Is Yours".
It's a starry night
The queen of volleyball is coming back to Korea today.
(The international arrivals area of Incheon Airport is crowded.)
(A lot of people are waiting for the queen of volleyball.)
(Cameramen from all TV stations...)
(and her fans are present.)
(They all wait for her to come outside.)
(They look excited.)
(This man wants to see her the most.)
(He's Yeon Koung's father.)
(When is my daughter coming?)
(People are coming out.)
(Like father, like daughter. He's outstanding in the crowd.)
(The flight has already arrived.)
(His daughter isn't coming out yet.)
(They have been waiting for an hour.)
She's here.
(People start screaming.)
(The queen of volleyball, Kim Yeon Koung is back.)
(She smiles.)
(He steps out in a heartbeat to see his daughter.)
(Good job, my daughter.)
Hello. It's been a long time since I was here in Korea.
I'm a volleyball player, Kim Yeon Koung.
That's all.
(She's still cool.)
(She's the top volleyball player in the world.)
(She's also the highest-paid volleyball player in the world.)
(She won an impossible game with a score of 17 to 23.)
(She worked a miracle in the Turkish Volleyball League.)
(She's back.)
How was it to see your father at the airport?
My parents always come out to see me.
My father was there alone that day.
I always have the same feeling when I see my parents at the airport.
I feel cozy and comfortable with them around.
Hello.
(She wants to head home right away after a long flight.)
Yeon Koung!
(However, she has an interview with the press.)
(She's surrounded by the press and her fans.)
You're pretty.
- I missed you so much. - Thank you.
It's been a long time. This is quite overwhelming.
How long has it been since you last came to Korea?
I think it's been almost four months.
I'm here for my vacation and I feel great to be back.
Every year...
I take a vacation during the Christmas season.
I have six days for my vacation.
I came to Korea for my vacation as I have nothing to do in Istanbul.
I came here without any plan.
I never imagined that so many people would come out to see me.
It was surprising to see the crowd there.
It made me realize that I'm really back to Korea.
It was great to see my fans out there in a long time.
I heard your parents asked you not to use...
any bad words in public places after the Olympic season.
Are you still trying not to swear?
(When she failed to score in the Rio Olympics,)
(she swore a few times.)
The game didn't go well and I was highly competitive in it...
so I swore a few times.
Luckily, I wasn't bashed for that.
If you see me do that again somewhere next time,
please don't think I really mean it.
I'm trying not to swear.
I can use them depending on the situation, though.
Please greet your fans for the New Year.
Have a happy New Year and...
I wish you...
good luck and success. Thank you.
Are we done?
- Thank you. - Merry Christmas.
(She heads somewhere after the interview.)
(All her fans are following her behind.)
She's so cool.
- Hi. - She's really tall.
I'm not. I'm only 192cm tall.
(Her schedule is not finished yet.)
- Crouch down a bit. - Like this?
Maybe you should sit.
- Should I sit? - Yes, please.
- Do you want me to crouch down? - Yes.
Are you making me sit down on the floor?
Please make a heart.
- Like this? - Yes.
Great.
(She still does what the photographer asks.)
Please make a small heart this time.
- Well... - Use both hands.
Okay.
(She kneels down and makes a heart for them.)
(Do you like it?)
(Her next schedule is...)
Hello.
(to spend some time with her fans.)
Pardon? I'm too tall?
(She's grateful to have such great people who always cheer for her.)
It's been a long time.
People say that I'm pretty and it's awkward to hear that.
What's this?
What is this for?
(Her fans brought something to ask her questions.)
Are we having a fan meeting? All of a sudden?
I've just arrived here and something just keeps happening.
I have no idea what's going on.
"Why do you think so many girls like you?"
"I love you."
Because of the bad words I say?
I can't believe people are still talking about it.
(Her father is watching her from a distance.)
(He's been waiting for his daughter for over an hour...)
(but he seems happy to see her with her fans.)
Here?
(It's time to take a group photo.)
(Even her fans from Japan are there to greet her.)
(She speaks four languages.)
Let's all take a photo.
(The Japanese fans end up taking a group photo.)
She's tall.
I think I should stand behind because I'm the tallest here.
Step forward.
No. You can sit down instead in the front row.
Do you want me to sit?
Wait.
(I don't think it'll work out.)
(She's still the tallest no matter what.)
I hope everyone is in the picture.
(She poses to get everyone in the picture.)
In 1, 2, 3.
(Let's take a photo on the stairs next time.)
You can go home now.
- Can I? - Yes.
I'm finally going home.
I'm hungry.
(She moves her steps with a light heart.)
Let's go.
(She finally meets with her father.)
Bye.
(Goodbye)
Why did you wave your hand?
They're not your fans.
Why did you wave your hand to my fans?
I see them quite often. It's natural to send greetings to them.
You're right.
(She manages to leave the airport at almost 9pm.)
Here we go.
It took longer than I thought.
I'm hungry.
I didn't have an in-flight meal for breakfast.
Why didn't you eat?
I wasn't hungry as I just woke up when the meal was served.
The economy is bad.
Do you cook yourself there?
I usually eat out.
I sometimes cook myself.
I'm tired.
You must.
You're given a few days for your vacation.
Only players who are ranked at least in fourth are given the days.
If you don't make it even in the fourth place,
you need to have a preliminary for the Turkish Volleyball Cup.
It happens in the Christmas season.
I see.
That means you have to be at least in fourth place to get a vacation.
If not, you can't go on vacation.
(She couldn't play games for three weeks due to her abdominal strain.)
(She fulfilled her rehabilitation program to come back to the court.)
(With her dashing spike...)
(she made her team ranked in third place from firth place.)
I can see that you're so much different from when you were here.
It's time to have a great match with your rival, Vakifbank.
You never did before.
- I had once. - What I mean is...
- That's when you weren't there. - My team lost it.
- You didn't play the game. - Right.
(She knows everything about his daughter.)
I need to get out of here. Where is it?
I missed the exit while I was talking.
(He missed the exit.)
You should've kept your eyes on it.
(He has nothing to say.)
We're home.
(They got home.)
We're home.
I'm so hungry.
(She takes the presents from her fans.)
I'll carry them for you.
Let's go.
(He tries to help her as much as he can.)
It's almost empty.
(Yeon Koung's house in Suwon)
(She makes sure her fingerprints are not staying on the door lock.)
(A big picture of herself welcomes her.)
(My sweet home)
- You're here. - Hi.
- Hi. - Don't bark.
(Her mother, sister, and her sister's husband were waiting.)
Hi, Jackson.
The bag is ripped.
Jackson is so excited.
Good job, Yeon Koung.
(Her family is gathered almost in four months.)
(It washes away all the fatigue she got on her way home.)
- Jackson. - Put him in your room.
She's not staying calm.
All right.
(Long time no see.)
You should put them down here.
Jackson.
All right. Calm down.
This is my house in Korea. I live alone here.
My parents live in Ansan.
My family always come to my house when I'm in Korea.
It's because I have everything I need...
here in Korea, my family knows...
that it will be easy for me to be around my house.
That's why we have a family gathering...
here in my house in Suwon.
(This is the first time to reveal Yeon Koung's house in Korea.)
(Everything she received from her games including awards, medals...)
(and pictures where her glorious days are captured...)
(are kept in here in her room.)
(There are so many gifts from her fans...)
(and things she got as a fan.)
(All her clothes are neatly organized.)
(She also has a lot of accessories.)
(How have you been, Jackson?)
- He must be thrilled to see you. - Your friend is here, Jackson.
Say hi.
- He missed you so much. - Did he?
(Jackson is the dog...)
(she raises at home in Korea.)
- Let's eat. - I'm hungry.
He did so much for me today.
He waited for me in the car for a long time.
- He helped a lot. - I made some red bean porridge.
We did so many things for you, too.
Mom, don't you think this is too much?
No.
(The dinner table is filled with food.)
(Her mother prepared a feast for her daughter.)
(There are bulgogi...)
(fried food, and side dishes she likes.)
- You made lots of food than usual. - What are you saying? I always do.
You usually don't make this much food.
I cooked all the dishes you like.
Are all these dishes and plates mine?
- What? - Is this all mine?
Yes, they're all yours and I used them.
(Her mother used all her plates to prepare a feast.)
- Thanks for the meal. - Enjoy.
Help yourself.
(This is the first meal she eats for today.)
(Is it good?)
(She devours the food without saying anything.)
I made some fried squid for you, too.
- Is this fried squid? - Yes.
This is what you like.
It's good.
(It's the dishes they get to eat only when Yeon Koung's in Korea.)
The food is too cold.
We prepared all the food long time ago...
and you came home late. That's why it's cold.
Honey, don't say any bad words.
People might think that you always say bad words like your sister.
(They're alike.)
Have some of those, too.
- What's this? - That's braised gonyak, soft jelly.
You made this, too?
She's on a diet. She made it for that.
I asked her why she made it and she said, "It tastes good."
I said, "It isn't tasty at all."
- Gosh. - Right? It tastes nothing.
You like this.
Have some of the fish stew.
That's all yours. Eat it up.
I don't eat this.
I don't like fish roes.
You know my taste in food, Mom.
I made that stew because...
spicy food is good for a cold.
- You wanted spicy food? - Yes.
I think she made all this food according to her taste.
(She's embarrassed.)
Try some braised burdock.
(She frowns.)
(They sure have a different taste in food.)
Eat up, Yeon Koung.
I will.
- I'll give you more. - I still have some left.
You said you were hungry.
How's your cold? Is it getting any better?
I can't eat anymore.
You have no appetite?
You didn't have lunch.
My cold keeps me from eating more.
Well, it's a good thing because you're on a diet.
Are you telling me to lose weight?
It's a good thing for you, Mom.
I lost some weight, though.
Maybe I should catch a cold more often so that I can eat less.
That makes sense.
That's a good thing.
(She makes a joke.)
Are you happy that I'm losing weight because of that?
- Is there any leftover? - Yes.
- Gosh, you're just... - What?
(They talk like friends.)
I become like that when my mother is around.
That's how I talk with my mother.
I make a lot of jokes and make fun of her sometimes.
I keep doing that because it's funny to watch her react.
I tease her because it's fun.
She makes me feel very comfortable.
I like the way I feel when I'm around her.
- Do you want more rice? - Here is yours.
I finished eating.
It's late. I should sleep soon, or I'll suffer from indigestion.
Do as you wish. Have some squid.
- Have more. - You want me to eat more?
Eat more?
I'll pour a bit more rice.
(Tell me it's a lie.)
- Just a tiny bit, please. - Okay.
- A teeny tiny bit. - All right.
(Every mom's "little bit" is hard to predict.)
Even though she said a little bit, she'll give me a lot.
Just a little bit, Mom.
All right. I scooped a little bit, really.
Two spoonfuls of rice.
Two spoonful of rice again? A spoonful is enough.
I only scooped two spoonfuls of rice.
(I only scooped two spoonfuls of rice.)
It is a little bit. I scooped more before.
I always ask for a little bit, but you keep giving me a lot.
- When I come to Korea... - I scoop a half bowl of rice.
You end up giving me one more bowl of rice.
That's just two spoonfuls of rice.
(Whatever)
(Yeon Koung finishes her rice although she was complaining.)
I loved it.
I like my flat in Istanbul, Turkey,
but when I come home in Korea,
everyone welcomes me,
so I feel loved.
That's why I feel more...
that it's my home.
I like it.
(Yeon Koung's first day in Korea...)
(ends.)
(Yeon Koung's second day in Korea)
(Yeon Koung enjoys her relaxed morning while watching television.)
(She's watching "The Legend of the Blue Sea".)
(She's fully concentrated while holding remote controls.)
(It's been a long time since she enjoyed a relaxed morning.)
Come here, Wilson.
(Let's watch Min Ho together.)
(She enjoys her year-end vacation with Min Ho.)
I better not become hooked on it.
There's a Thai player in our team.
She watches more Korean dramas than I.
She tells me what dramas are good.
Once I start watching, I also become hooked on them.
That's why I'm watching a lot of dramas in Turkey these days.
I'm also watching a drama that's currently playing.
I feel anxious, then I smile because of the drama.
Elizabeth, I'll have you join the swimming team.
"Elizabeth."
She can read all her memory.
(It seems as if she could go into the television right away.)
I'm afraid he'll get caught.
(Min Ho gets caught.)
What?
(She's so stunned that she cannot close her mouth.)
- I'll go. - What?
You should tell her before you go.
(You better tell Jun Ji Hyun.)
(She's totally lost in the drama.)
(It's a song that plays at the end of the drama.)
(How can I wait for another week?)
There's no preview for the next week's episode.
(There's no preview for the next week's episode.)
(She feels bored once the drama ends.)
Wilson.
(Did you call me?)
(Yeon Koung and Wilson first met in Turkey.)
Don't just sit around. Go clean up.
Answer me.
(Wilson was very sad in a foreign country.)
Long time no see. You're still covered with dirt.
They haven't washed you yet.
Cover it.
(Wilson's heart flutters.)
Gosh, I'm hungry.
(Yeon Koung has changed.)
What should I make?
(I'm hungry.)
I'm super tired.
(She's taller than the fridge.)
(She used to eat yogurt in Turkey as well.)
(She'll have a simple breakfast with yogurt and cereal with milk.)
Today, I'll go to the hospital...
and go to a hair salon. I have so much to do.
(I have so much to do in a short day.)
What should I wear? I better see what style I'll go for.
The winter look.
(She looks up "the winter look for women" before going out.)
(What is trendy nowadays?)
(This trendy fairy likes dressing up.)
(She is totally feminine this way.)
(She hums.)
(It's the ending theme song of "The Legend of the Blue Sea".)
(She's totally absorbed into the music.)
(This sound is made by a big fan of a drama...)
(who is eagerly waiting for the next episode next week.)
Good, good. It's a great song.
(She finishes her cereal at once as if she's drinking soup.)
(Gosh)
(For dessert,)
(she eats a spoonful of yogurt.)
What time is it?
I better get ready soon.
(She takes another big bite.)
(She scrapes not to miss a bit of yogurt.)
(She finishes her yogurt in three bites.)
(She finishes her breakfast in less than five minutes.)
I should get ready now.
(I should get ready to go out now.)
(Her dressing table is feminine, and she has a lot of perfumes.)
(She plays the ending theme song even when she wears makeup.)
(This trendy fairy listens to music when she wears makeup.)
(It feels as if she became Min Ho's partner in the drama, Jun Ji Hyun.)
(However, this Jun Ji Hyun swaggers too much.)
(She looks innocent.)
My hair looks horrible.
(My hair looks horrible.)
I'm going to a hair salon later on,
so I'll apply hair treatment there.
I keep my hair, as they hang on my head.
(I keep my hair, as they hang on my head.)
My goodness.
You still swear a lot.
- Did I ever swear? - Yes.
(She doesn't remember.)
I can't recall any.
I keep swearing before I notice.
I better put some effort to stop.
I really had no idea that I swore.
What should I wear?
I better wear a knit sweater.
(She folded her clothes perfectly.)
(What clothes did she pick to wear after looking up on the internet?)
(Her pants are short.)
(It's hard to find long enough pants for this 192cm-tall woman.)
(She wears cropped pants in midwinter.)
(She sees her whole body in front of the entrance.)
Aren't my pants too short for winter?
(Her ankles seem cold.)
I didn't bring anything from Turkey,
but I have a lot of sneakers here.
(The shoe rack is filled with her sneakers.)
(Even the storage room is filled with her sneakers.)
(She finally checks herself with her sneakers on.)
What a cutie.
(Even I think I'm a cutie.)
What a cutie.
(She likes her style today.)
Let's look into the mirror once again.
Here I go.
(She leaves home after dressing up.)
It feels weird driving my car after a long time.
(She plays the ending theme song of "The Legend of the Blue Sea" again.)
(When she's into something, she does that only.)
(She's fascinated.)
(While listening to the song, she drives to Seoul.)
We perform the best music.
(She changes the music to that of hip-hop genre.)
(She sways along the music.)
(I'm so excited.)
(While dancing with her shoulders, she drove to a hospital.)
I've arrived.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello. - I was told to go downstairs.
Where should I go?
We'll collect your blood first.
Am I going to draw blood?
- I see. - You'll first have a blood test.
It isn't easy.
Please draw it without any pain.
When I was playing in Turkey,
I got an injury on my abs.
I rested for about three weeks, then I returned to the team.
I wanted to see how much better my abs are now.
I also thought that it was necessary to treat them.
Where should I go?
- Come this way. - Okay.
(She'll draw blood first.)
(She feels numb.)
- Why make me wait? I'm scared. - I'm sorry.
- First... - I'll give you the injection now.
Please do it slowly.
You're the best nurse here, right?
You've got to be the best one.
You're injecting it so naturally.
It will sting.
(Oh, my goodness.)
(My goodness.)
Gosh, it hurts.
You're done.
(She resents her so much.)
- Is the blood drawing well? - Yes, it is.
Gosh, it hurts.
(She's a crybaby even though she's tall.)
Press it for a while.
You weren't gentle at all.
You didn't cut me some slack because I'm a girl.
I was gentle.
It hurt so much.
Thank you.
Take your shoes off.
You have long legs.
Come towards this side.
All right.
(As expected, her feet stick out of the bed.)
You have so much muscles.
I have a lot of muscles?
(She suddenly smiles.)
(Her exam begins.)
This is the painful area right now.
There's a partial rupture here.
It's thicker than usual.
I see.
It's swollen because it's strained.
It's strained.
Luckily, not the whole part is ruptured.
- You'd mentioned a strained muscle. - I had.
- You mentioned it. - I think so.
Do you have any other questions?
- I'm okay. - You're okay, for you're young.
- Thank you. - We'll wrap up the exam.
Hello.
I'll wipe it for you.
- Are you taller than I? - How tall are you?
- I'm about 186cm, 187cm tall. - I'm 192cm tall.
I'm even taller now because of my shoes.
(It takes long to get up.)
I suddenly became a sick person.
- You're really beautiful in person. - Thank you.
I get that a lot.
You look totally different than on television.
Many people tell me...
(She's used to getting compliments.)
that I look pretty in person. Thank you.
You have really long legs, too.
(She's shy.)
Thank you, Doctor.
(She happily finished the exam.)
I got it checked in Turkey last time,
and they said that it's become a lot better,
so I played games afterwards in relief.
However, I wanted to have it checked in Korea once again.
The doctor's explanation in Korean made me understand better.
I was relieved in a way that my injury has become...
really okay now.
Once I go back,
I better not slack off with my stretches...
so I could play without an injury as of now.
(Physical therapy and rehabilitation room)
Can I lie down here?
You'll go through an ultrasound treatment. Is your injury severe?
I just saw the doctor,
and he said that I'm much better now because I built muscles...
- around it. - Where do you have most pain?
- Right here. - Right here?
- Right here. - Around rectus abdominis?
Please be gentle.
Why are you so pretty?
Me?
Did you think I'd be ugly?
That's not it. You're so pretty although you've played sports only.
I'm actually quite pretty.
I look better in person than on TV.
I look much prettier in person, right?
Don't observe me too much, though.
You're not young, are you?
Me?
Many people tell me that I look old.
You do look quite old.
(She makes a spiteful remark.)
I'm not that old.
Is that so?
I'm 27 years old.
- You look about your age. - I'm relieved.
You look about 28, 29 years old.
28, 29 years old?
You're 27 years old, I see.
I'll teach you how to do the abs exercise.
The doctor told me earlier...
that I have killer abs.
- You must be happy. - Yes, he was amazed.
- That's why we're suggesting... - I think a workout isn't necessary.
an exercise right here, not here.
I see.
You've raised your legs in 90 degrees.
- Meanwhile, raise your arms. - I'm already tired.
You're already tired?
I'll tell you what to do from here.
Imagine pushing my fingers away and breathe in right here.
- Do I keep staying this way? - Yes, keep pushing my fingers.
- I am pushing your fingers. - Exactly. Like this. Push.
I am pushing your fingers.
(Yeon Koung keeps teasing the physical therapist.)
Push.
- You'll move your legs now. - Move what else?
One by one. You'll extend your legs downwards.
Like this?
Moving your legs only won't be fun,
so when you extend this leg, straighten your opposite arm.
- It is fun. - Like this.
(It's fun without moving my arm.)
Come back and extend your opposite leg.
Come back. You're doing well. Move a bit slower.
(This time, she'll do some stretching using sports equipment.)
My head might touch the ceiling.
That's right.
(Her head almost touches the ceiling.)
From there, you'll move your hips to the back.
Bring your legs closer.
- Your hips should be further back. - Isn't the pose too sexy?
(Isn't the pose too sexy?)
That's right. Like this.
What if someone casts me as a lingerie model?
- Do I straighten my legs? - You must straighten them.
- Straighten my legs? - Yes, you must straighten them.
What kind of pose is this?
Can you feel your muscles pulling?
It hurts too much.
Like this.
- You should sit down. - I should sit down?
- Bend them in 90 degrees. Exactly. - Like this?
Have you done this many times?
Not many times, but this is one of the basic poses for stretches.
From here, move your hips towards your back. Sit down.
That's it.
I thought I was flexible, but I guess...
- I'm not. - Your hips don't touch the bed.
I'm almost sweating from stretching.
- Since you're pulling your muscles? - This side's worse.
You're right. It's so stiff.
- Move your legs inside. - It's so stiff?
Yes. Your hip doesn't touch the bed at all.
- I could almost go through here. - Say good things only, please.
It feels refreshing.
(She wants her physical therapist to like her.)
It does, right? You feel how your muscles are stretching, right?
And then...
Is it working?
Good job. We'll wrap it up here for today.
We're done? Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I'll come back next May.
- Really? - Yes, I'll see you then.
Thank you.
(Thank you for teaching me all the exercises.)
- Have a good day. - Goodbye.
It's become much colder.
Let's go to a hair salon.
(She folds her body to fit into the car.)
(Let's go to a hair salon.)
(She yawns.)
I'm still jetlagged.
There are still many cars in Seoul.
(After realizing the roads crowded with cars in Seoul,)
(she arrives at the hair salon.)
(She looks around.)
Why isn't anybody greeting me?
What's wrong with you?
(Long time no see.)
Have you been well? Why are you so awkward?
My hair is a bit curly,
so it becomes curly...
when I play.
That's why I love root straightening perm.
Since I came to Korea after a long time, I should get...
it done because I can't do it there.
My hair...
Your hair is as silky as that of Jun Ji Hyun.
Really?
(That's nice to hear.)
Cut the nonsense.
My hair is horrible.
How's my hair? Has it grown enough to get a root straightening perm?
It's grown a lot. Even your black hair has grown longer.
You could color your hair, but you can wait a bit longer.
Let's do this. I'll shampoo your hair.
- Hello. - Hello.
- I'll shampoo your hair over there. - Why didn't you greet me?
Nobody greeted me at the front.
Really?
I'll shampoo your hair here.
Lie down slowly.
(She gets her hair washed while showing off her long legs.)
Have you been well?
My hair becomes drier in the winter time.
Your hair gets full of static in winter.
My hair is seriously horrible.
Get up, please.
(It feels refreshing.)
(It's time to get started with the straightening perm.)
Do a lot of players come these days?
Yes, all the regulars keep coming.
Since the league began, every player dyed her hair to black at last.
Here we go.
All right.
My hair's condition is seriously bad.
As your hair grows longer, it's got to be damaged a lot.
All I do is to keep my hair hanging on my head.
It's damaged so much.
I better shave my head.
Shave your head?
I heard that you eat three bowls of rice in Turkey.
Who said that?
The makeup staffs told me.
"Oh, the one who eats three bowls of rice?"
(When she was on the show in October, 2016,)
(Yeon Koung ate two different dishes.)
(She enjoys her food.)
Did I order too much?
(I'll get a bowl of rice.)
I don't eat a lot for my size.
That's the right amount for my size.
(As the hair stylists proceed with the perm,)
(she falls asleep.)
(Yeon Koung's soul is already asleep.)
I'll apply it to the area that's usually unseen.
(I don't care.)
I'm sleepy.
(They thoroughly wrap her hair.)
(They apply heat to her hair for 10 minutes.)
(This is the most boring time in the hair salon.)
You looked pretty in this article.
- What? - You were on the article.
What is this?
(She smiles.)
This one.
Here, too.
(Laughing)
What's this?
I was selected as this year's leader?
I should take a picture of this.
(I have to take a picture of this as proof.)
- Is that it? - That's it.
I think that was the best the magazine publisher could do.
You look the prettiest.
I look very good.
- I will wash your hair now. - Okay.
(She's drying her hair.)
The front got burnt.
Gosh.
(Darn it.)
My hair got burnt.
(She grumbles as she spots burnt hair.)
(In means of apology, the stylist does her hair very carefully.)
- Straighten it hair by hair. - Right.
(In means of apology, the stylist does her hair very carefully.)
(Her semi-curly hair is getting straightened.)
It's always hard on me. I doze off every time.
But it's something I have to go through for my hair.
I can't go around with messy hair.
I can't have my hair looking curly.
I have to look neat at the matches.
It's difficult, but I'm trying to overcome such moments.
I have to overcome even when I'm doing my hair.
(She's getting her hair dried for the finishing touch.)
Okay.
(Her back got stiff from sitting too long.)
(Her hair is sleek.)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Okay.
(I like it.)
(The hair treatment is finally over.)
Let's go.
I stayed here for so long.
(You didn't have to do that.)
- I'll go now. - Okay.
Bye.
Goodbye.
(Her 2 hours and 30 minutes of hair treatment is over.)
Gosh. They must be waiting for me.
(Who is waiting for Yeon Koung?)
Gosh.
- Gosh, hello. - Yeon Koung.
- Hi guys. - You are here.
- Gosh. - You look pretty.
(She's a professional volleyball player with 18 years of experience.)
Han Yoo Mi with a block.
(She's the light and salt of women's volleyball.)
(Experienced outside hitter, Han Yoo Mi)
Yang Hyo Jin played...
a wonderful game on her first match.
She needs to keep up with her strong serves.
(Middle blocker Yang Hyo Jin is a national treasure.)
I've known them since I was young.
We've been through a lot on the national team together.
We've been close for over 10 years.
We know a lot about each other.
(Hyo Jin bursts out laughing.)
- Hey. - What?
- Aren't they cute? - Are those cropped pants?
I lengthened them.
This is how they look after they got lengthened.
People like us shouldn't wear these kinds of pants.
I got them sponsored.
(Those pants are sponsored.)
It's hard to get sponsored.
- I'm even wearing long socks. - Let me see.
My socks are small, too.
- Making money is hard. - Long time no see.
You're cute.
(I'm cute?)
You look like a British boy.
Why?
(Why does it have to be a boy?)
- My style is? - It's not easy.
Picking out gifts for you isn't easy.
- Did you pick out a gift for me? - They're small.
- Really? - They're short.
- I got you a gift, too. - You did?
- Here. - I want a good gift.
I want the pretty one.
- They're the same. - They are?
They are different colors, though.
It has to be random.
- Gosh. - It has to be random.
What's this?
Are these matching shirts?
What is this? We got matching shirts.
I can't wear this color. Hey.
(Laughing)
- I'll look like a Christmas tree. - I think it's the right size.
I think it's the right size for you.
- What? - Should I wear a red skirt?
It really is the right size.
- It looks pretty. - A red skirt to go with this?
(Yeon Koung's gift is a Christmas tree.)
- Here. - The Body Shop?
Thank you. How did you I like this brand?
It's not a book, is it?
That's my favorite book.
(I see.)
- Hey. - You know I don't read books.
I do. You should read books.
You don't seem happy.
Are these quotes?
- No, but it's good. - It's a pretty good book.
Yoo Mi is really into books these days.
- What's this? - Isn't it cute?
(I see.)
- I told you this would happen. - We knew how you'd react.
She's going to say why did you buy something so useless?
- I've never seen this before. - You should stick it on your phone.
It's cute.
Put it on your phone.
- Okay. I will. - Gosh.
(What is the next gift?)
(I see.)
- It gets rid of foot odor. - Is this a foot spray?
Yes. It's for your feet.
- Just spray it on your feet. - Do I just pray it on my feet?
You just spray it.
We all spray our feet after a workout.
You should take a shower. Why would you spray this?
- I don't think she'll ever use it. - Thank you.
What's the next one?
I'm nervous.
Hyo Jin's gift has a Christmas feeling to it.
- Hey. - Look at the wrapping.
- I picked out that one. - No, you didn't. I did.
- I got you that gift. - I think I know what this is.
You probably do know what it is.
- I think I know what this is. - You use it often.
Right.
(Nice)
I didn't want to get criticized.
(It's a candle Yeon Koung likes.)
- It smells good. - That's the most popular one.
Thank you.
(Yoo Mi's gifts were disappointing, but Hyo Jin's candle was a success.)
(It's delicious looking Korean beef.)
It's quite popular these days.
We're doing good too.
(It's a Korean beef party.)
It's the same thing.
Can you cut them into small pieces?
I may be tall, but my mouth is small.
Thank you.
Aren't you seeing anyone?
You told me about something before.
- No. - Why aren't you saying anything?
You should eat more. The meat is burning.
- Eat up. - You said you'd tell me later.
Eat up. It's burning.
- Don't let it burn. - Gosh, you're unbelievable.
It's not like I've never dated anyone.
I did date for a short while.
I still do go on dates.
It'd be nice if I meet someone nice.
I wish I could.
Wish me luck.
Are you not hurt anywhere?
How are your joints?
I hurt my abdomen muscles.
That's not a joint.
How can an athlete not be hurt?
But it's not as bad as when you were in Korea.
Why is she here today?
(Why is she here today?)
- To talk. - Let's hurry up and leave.
Don't order more.
Let's call it a day.
Are you not thinking about getting married?
Of course I am.
- Are they just thoughts? - But her standards are too high.
It's even hard for us to land a spike on her.
(It's even hard for us to land a spike on her.)
If she has a man, it'll be even harder for him.
She's the person that man has to marry.
We're lucky we're friends and we don't see each other often.
Can you imagine seeing her everyday?
He'll have to live with her for decades.
I wouldn't be able to live with her.
- I can't live with you either. - I'm just saying.
It won't be easy.
Of course it isn't easy.
There's a right match for everyone.
Many people stay single these days.
Yoo Mi always say that she wants to live alone.
I always asked Yeon Koung...
if I can live at her house.
But she said she'd live somewhere else.
Every single woman wants to live with me.
Didn't you use to be surrounded by men? Where did they all go?
What happened to the baseball players?
(She's bombarding her with attacks.)
Did they all get married? What's the situation here?
Where did all the baseball players go?
Yoo Mi got knocked out.
(It's a KO.)
- Where did they all go? - No.
- I wasn't surrounded by men. - Yoo Mi has to get married.
You being like this is the reason why I can't get married.
I don't think you'll be able to.
I don't think it's happening.
- Ask other baseball players. - I don't know any now.
I don't keep in contact with them.
You broke up with everyone.
(She lost her will to defend.)
Basketball, volleyball, baseball...
You swept all three fields in your past.
Now, you don't know anyone.
Those people got old enough to get married, too.
(I'm getting owned.)
I'm turning 30 next year.
- It's so surprising. - I'm already 30 now.
We've known each other since elementary school.
I know.
It seems like only yesterday that I was a rookie.
My hair was all curly back then.
Aren't we similar?
The situations we're in.
(Similar how?)
Later on, I'll be sitting on that seat.
There will be another junior sitting in my seat.
"It's even hard for us to land a spike on her."
"Can you imagine how hard it'll be for the guy?"
I'll be like, "I know, right?"
I used to think that it'd be nice for you...
to have a junior like you, but it's not going to happen.
There aren't anyone like you.
Even if there were, they wouldn't be able to say anything to her.
Not to Yeon Koung?
No.
(Yeon Koung is one of a kind.)
She might hit them.
- What are you talking about? - I heard she's really scary.
I heard she easily made her juniors cry.
I had to comfort them when they cried.
(Sweating)
She'd say, "If you cry more, you'll make me even more angry."
Yeon Koung told me to put something in the trunk.
(I remember now.)
- Why didn't you put it back? - Right. You hate that.
- I told you for days to do so. - I would've told you if I knew.
You have to put it back once you're done using it.
I didn't notice her since I didn't know.
If you can't arrange your things well, you also can't play very well.
- You need to arrange your things. - That's right.
- You also didn't obey your seniors. - I told you to put it back.
It doesn't matter for me because I do my things properly.
There's no one...
who's good at self-management like me.
I'm a volleyball player.
I did all the chores for her when we were younger.
She didn't even do her laundry. I did it all for her.
That's nonsense.
I did all those laundries for you.
- You're lying again. - She's changed a lot, though.
- She does it all now, right? - Sometimes she even does mine.
- Really? - She even folds my laundry.
What happened to you?
She has suddenly changed since she moved abroad.
Tell us more of those things.
This is it.
Tell us the good things. Not the depressing ones.
Those girls cried because they wanted to.
They should have stayed strong like me.
- It wasn't something to cry for. - What did she become now?
How many years have you been sharing a room with me?
- It's been eight years. - Look what she has become.
Look how much she grew up.
She gets the highest annual salary in Korea.
It could've been possible because of me.
I should take credit for it.
Look what happened to the other girls who didn't listen to me.
They're not doing well.
I'm signed to her for life until I retire from the national team.
You just follow me.
Then, you'll be able to keep the highest annual salary.
Just follow me. I'm the one who made you like this.
It's been a long time but it feels always comfortable with them.
We talked as if we met yesterday.
We talked about our recent stuffs.
I get busy when I come to Korea for a short period of time.
It's pretty tiring...
but it's good to talk with them.
Talking with them relieves my stress.
What's happening to that youth thing?
It's a competition.
- Kim Yeon Koung Championship? - Yes. It's something like that.
(Kim Yeon Koung Youth Volleyball Championship?)
I'll go and watch the games.
I'm trying to invite the other players but I'm not sure yet.
I hope it works out well.
- You're the hope of young players. - Yes.
- I want to award a scholarship... - That would be good.
and keep it that way.
- I have to be steady on that. - It's important continuing it.
- You can't quit in the middle. - Right.
It's possible when there are many supporters.
It's easy to start...
but I need to be steady on that. That's the problem.
I'll try my best.
Let's go.
When are you returning?
- On January 3. - On January 25.
(They have to return to their teams after a short break.)
- Are you wearing a skirt? - Yes.
- I like skirts. - I told you not to dress up.
My legs hurt.
You're getting more beautiful.
I do as I get older.
Those injections worked well.
It hurts.
You seem you slept well last night.
(I can't beat her anyway so let's put up with it.)
Why did I even come here?
What are you talking about?
You look beautiful.
- I'm glad to see you before I go. - Me, too.
- I thought I won't be seeing you. - Me, too.
- You said you were busy. - I thought that way, too.
I only have six days for my vacation.
- It's quite long. - Where do I pay?
- You're paying, right? - Of course, I am.
(I'll pay for you.)
(It's so nice to have a break despite the tight schedule.)
I hope you stay healthy in 2017.
Happy New Year.
It's enough, right?
(It's a lucky day in Si Eon's house.)
(He looks for something.)
(What is Si Eon looking for?)
(It's a mask.)
(What are you up to with that suddenly?)
(Before he puts the mask...)
(he washes his face hard.)
(He finally cleans his pores.)
(This will do.)
(He takes the mask pack from the fridge...)
(and opens it.)
(He applies it on his face to make it smooth and kissable.)
(He holds the package...)
(and starts to squeeze the essence.)
(This is what he learned from Shim Hyung Tak, the beauty master.)
(He squeezes it until the last drop comes out.)
(I'll become handsomer.)
It feels refreshing.
It's MBC Drama Awards.
(The preview of MBC Drama Awards is broadcasted on TV. )
(There's a scene from "W".)
(Find it more in MBC at 9:30pm on Friday night, December 30.)
(He's clapping.)
(He claps since he also filmed "W".)
It's been eight years since I debuted.
I'm nominated for Best New Actor...
and Best Couple Awards for the first time in MBC Drama Awards.
I feel pretty nervous.
It worries me.
Why am I feeling so nervous?
(He calls someone.)
Hello?
Bo Yeon.
Are you home yet? Are you not preparing to go out?
I'm preparing now.
- I just put a mask a while ago. - Will you be out for a makeup?
I will. After having dinner at home.
Members from "W" will be all there, right?
Lee Jong Suk will be there, too.
Yes.
(Si Eon's mom used to be a big fan of Jong Suk.)
(Do you keep in touch with him?)
(There must be a picture of him.)
(Si Eon's mom's love for Jong Suk never ends.)
- I'll get you an autograph. - With my name on it...
- get me an autograph. - I got it.
- Take a picture of him, too. - Forget it.
I'm expecting you to get it, but don't feel bad if you can't.
I told you not to expect anything.
I'm quite looking forward to it, though.
Please don't be.
Okay, Bo Yeon. Cheer up.
(She hangs up.)
Well,
I told her not to look forward to it.
(Mom looks forward for his son to get it, though.)
(He wriggles his toes.)
(His nervousness is even expressed through his toes.)
(Someone's knocking.)
- Come on in, Jae Hyuk. - Hi.
It's such an important day.
I can't even sleep well.
I'm the one who's nominated.
Say hi.
- It's Wilson. - Hi.
I really couldn't sleep.
- Did you sleep well? - I didn't.
I had an upset stomach after eating beef.
- Did you prepare for the clothes? - I did.
You got popular acclaim for your clothes yesterday.
(He was in 2016 MBC Entertainment Awards the day before.)
- From who? - People around us.
- From your friends? - No.
- It was popular for real. - Really?
It was all good but your face looked too small yesterday.
- It was because of the lapels. - Because of what?
- The lapels. - It was because of that?
- Yesterday... - Let's try the big one today, then.
- I prepared a coat for you today. - A coat?
- A coat? - Yes.
It's a trend these days.
- Gong Yoo wears it, too. - Right.
- Gong Yoo wears it, right? - Yes. Gong Yoo wears it.
What if I don't win?
(What if I don't win an award in that pretty clothes?)
It makes me nervous, too.
Honestly, I couldn't wish for more here.
I wish you could win it.
More than anyone else.
I should win it.
- I, knock on wood... - Yes.
didn't even think about it at all.
- Didn't you prepare for a speech? - No, I didn't.
What if you really get it?
Preparing for it...
doesn't seem right and it seems insincere.
I didn't get it yet, though.
(Laughing)
I feel nervous.
I didn't become an actor for this,
but it will be better...
if I win it.
(He's honest.)
Didn't you practice the speech all night long?
- What are you talking about? - Didn't you?
(You're giving me bad luck.)
Today,
- I'll cook for you. - Really?
My friend's mother-in-law gave me kimchi...
hoping that I would win an award.
We need to eat well today.
Sure. We have to.
(We have to eat well to win an award.)
- Do we have rice here? - Yes, we do.
- It's only been few days. - is it?
- Is it edible? - Of course.
I won't get a stomachache in eating that, right?
- Hey, - I won't be suddenly sick, right?
What are you talking about?
I'll cook for you anyway.
(Thank you.)
You do the dishes instead.
- The dishes? - Yes.
Okay.
By the way, this kimchi jjigae is really good. If I eat this,
I'll win... No. I don't have to win the awards.
You have to win it.
(He reveals his honest feelings.)
What's all this for?
I feel so pressured.
(Tapping)
(He thoroughly taps his face.)
(Does he want the award or not?)
This kimchi jjigae looks amazing. It doesn't have any broth.
Why does it taste plain...
when it doesn't even have any broth?
It's okay.
I made it with kimchi and tuna.
- Did you also add tofu? - Yes, I did.
We need spoons and chopsticks.
Should these be washed?
They're already washed.
They're washed.
- They're clean. - I need another chopstick.
It's okay. Take it.
- Here. Take it. - Do you have ketchup?
- Do you have ketchup? - Do you eat it with ketchup?
I only have a little bit of ketchup.
There's only a little left.
(Only a little left.)
You can't have too much at once.
(The award-winning meal is ready. All he needs is a spoon.)
This is what you call a feast.
Of course.
Let's eat this and win awards.
(It's a feast.)
(His phone vibrates.)
- What's that? - My dad is calling.
Oh, really?
He must be hoping you would win an award.
I'll have to tell him not to look too forward to it.
(He calls his dad.)
- Hello. - Hi, Dad. Did you call?
I saw that you were a nominee for today's award ceremony.
Yes.
If you try hard, you'll end up with something.
If you worked hard, you'll win an award.
It doesn't matter if you win it or not.
- Okay? - Yes.
- Don't be disappointed. - Okay.
- Right? - Yes.
Sweet dreams...
- and try harder next week. - Right. Yes.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
(Si Eon's dad gives him a word of encouragement.)
Dad told me to have sweet dreams.
Would you like to nap after we eat?
Should I take a 30-minute nap?
That's enough time to dream.
I'll need to have a good dream.
(Did you have a good dream last night?)
Dream of ghosts.
A ghost was in my dream and it stabbed me with a knife.
I heard dreaming of ghosts is a good omen.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it depends on how you see it.
If I think about how popular Soo Bong was,
I believe I might win the award.
(He's starting to go back and forth.)
Do you know Jung Suk Won?
- Who? - Suk Won.
What do they do before going to an award ceremony?
He's probably eating dinner or not.
- Why not? To stay in shape? - Yes.
What about me?
You're okay. I have clothes in your size ready.
- Really? - I even left room for dinner.
I'm impressed.
You're a real professional.
You won't have to wear a waist supporter today.
I brought a long coat and it covers everything when you're wearing it.
- Do you want some more rice? - No.
This is enough. You don't need to eat anymore, either.
Fine.
We don't have much time left.
Don't say that. I can't digest.
You're done eating.
I'm still eating. Or else, I'll have to throw it out.
(He's giving it to him.)
I'm really full. I can't take another bite.
- Do you think I'm not full? - I really can't eat anymore.
I need to finish this to win the award.
(What's this nonsense?)
Don't do anything that might bring bad luck.
Don't leave anything or throw food out.
All right.
If we finish this, I'll have the Rookie of the Year Award!
You know who the nominees are, right?
No, I don't.
- I don't want to know. - Fine.
It's better not to know.
This is your first time being nominated, right?
Yes.
If I win it, it'll be eight years after making my debut.
However, I didn't become an actor to win awards.
That's right.
You still want one, don't you?
It's funny how a person feels...
I think I want it.
(They eat a hearty meal before the awards ceremony.)
Do you really want me to do the dishes?
Yes.
- If you don't do it... - I'm too full.
If you don't do the dishes...
- Is it the award again? - I can't win an award.
(He starts washing the dishes.)
(The sponge has mold on it.)
Is this a sponge?
- Do you use this for your dishes? - Yes.
Should I go and buy one?
Why?
Wouldn't these still be dirty if I use this?
No. It's just black.
All right.
(He sighs.)
Don't make weird noises. You're going to bring bad luck.
Don't you have a jinx?
That's only for people who have won awards before.
Isn't there anything you shouldn't do?
I'm making a list of those right now.
(He makes up jinx factors.)
This pan looks like it hasn't been washed for a long time.
I washed it.
It's practically as good as new.
- This? - Yes.
Please don't imply that the things around here are dirty.
- Honestly... - Aren't I pretty clean?
I'll need at least three days to wash this pan.
I'll have to wash it and dry it several times.
Isn't my place neater than you thought?
I don't think I've ever seen an apartment like this.
- Wait. Someone's calling. - This pan...
- Nam Gil. - Hello?
Hi.
I'm going to win an award today.
You're getting that award today, right?
I don't know.
Why?
Which award was it?
Rookie of the Year Award.
Do they want to give you Rookie of the Year Award?
Don't curse.
That's nonsense. Who else would win it?
Thank you. If I don't win it, I'm blaming you.
Come on.
I'll trust you and go with a relaxed heart.
Go and say that I...
(He starts laughing.)
I can't help but laugh.
My career hasn't been going well these days.
Can you mention my name?
I'll make sure to bring up your name if I win the award.
All right. You'll win it.
Thank you. I'll mention you.
You need to win it for me.
All right. I will.
Good luck! I'll be watching on TV.
Thanks. I can do this!
- Bye. - I love you, bye.
I feel more weight on my shoulders now.
What if I don't win it?
What if I don't?
(Si Eon looks nervous as he opens the freezer.)
Hey.
You need to massage your eyes with ice when they're puffy.
(Going with a bloated face would bring me bad luck.)
(His eyes might fall out from the cold ice.)
Aren't you being too meticulous?
Many people are supporting me.
(It's almost time to leave.)
I'm getting more nervous as the time goes by.
(He sighs.)
- I suddenly feel tired. - Why?
- The coat isn't... - Isn't it here, yet?
No, it isn't.
Do I have to go in a shirt?
The coat is very important.
I think this brings bad luck.
No, it doesn't. Don't say that.
(He feels nervous.)
Come with me.
Let's drink pumpkin juice.
This should be effective when your face is bloated.
Is it?
(At least, I won't have a bloated face even if the coat doesn't come.)
I'll have to take a few with me.
- What? - Pumpkin porridge.
It's juice, not porridge.
Yes. That's what I meant. It tastes good.
This fell off.
We can't bring bad luck.
(He won't stop talking about bad luck.)
(Something snapped.)
Can you get that for me?
(A piece of it falls off.)
This is the main character.
- Who is? - This.
- You're right. - In "Star Wars".
Oh, no.
What's going on?
(He sighs.)
I wonder what he's thinking.
He's thinking about you winning an award.
(He laughs.)
Come here. You're a great friend.
I'm going to take a shower.
I'll have to look nice.
(It's already 4pm and the ceremony starts at 9pm.)
Did you finish taking a shower?
(He drops it.)
- Don't drop anything. - It's just the remote control.
Si Eon.
I'm done.
That was quick.
(He applies lotion on his face and he's ready to go.)
I need to take this with me...
and get Jong Suk's autograph.
Was this paper for his autograph?
Yes. I had it prepared.
Let's go.
(Si Eon is nervous as the ceremony gets closer.)
Aren't you taking your phone?
(His mind is blank.)
You seem very nervous. You even forgot your phone.
Yes, I'm nervous.
Let's go win an award!
Let's go.
Why didn't you say we're going to win an award?
Be positive.
(They are off to win an award.)
(Win that award, Si Eon!)
(Let's go.)
Here we go! This isn't a happy song.
You keep singing it.
Let's come home smiling.
- Even if I don't win it... - Yes. Be happy.
(They leave with a positive vibe.)
You'll have to look your best today.
Don't make me feel pressured.
He puts in an effort in getting ready.
Let's spray this mist.
I need this today.
Here we go... Why do I keep singing this?
It's in your head, isn't it?
Yes. I can't stop singing it.
- I'll mention your name, too. - All right.
We're almost here.
(It's time to transform.)
(I'll show my best look today.)
- Hi. - Hi.
Are you going to do it the same way you did yesterday?
- No. - Then?
You'll have to look your best today.
Don't add pressure.
I feel stressed.
I have a good feeling today.
- Don't say that. - I'm telling you.
It might bring bad luck.
Don't say anything.
(He's struggling against all the bad luck in the world.)
I'm starting to get nervous.
(He's going from a next-door neighbor to a handsome actor.)
I'm nervous.
Can you get rid of these baby hairs?
They might bring bad luck.
My hair could bring me bad luck.
All right.
(It's time to get his makeup done.)
I need my makeup to look nice to win an award.
You know that, right?
(She giggles.)
Please apply makeup with a dutiful attitude.
(It's for the award.)
Can you make my face look smaller? I want this much gone.
I want my face to look this small.
You can do that, right?
You might need a couple of hours to do that.
Look up.
(He glares.)
I don't have to pull my mouth down, do I?
(She laughs.)
I pull my mouth down whenever I look up.
(Please let me look better)
(Thanks to her hard work, his face looks smaller.)
Is the coat here?
- You can get up now. - It isn't here.
(I can't wait to see this coat.)
Can you do more?
What do you want? Bigger eyes?
You'll look like an idol star in this.
(He bursts out laughing.)
You look nice. You look like an idol star.
G-Dragon wore this.
(G-Dragon is an international star.)
(He looks like the head waiter of a restaurant.)
Who brought this?
I'm sorry.
What's wrong?
It fits you perfectly.
Is this an expensive jacket?
Yes, it is.
The expensive jacket seems to be rejecting you.
I don't look good in expensive clothes.
Should I try the green one on?
- You tried this one yesterday. - Is this expensive?
Yes, it is.
Did G-Dragon wear this one, too?
- No. - That one...
- Lee Soo Hyuk. - Lee Soo Hyuk wore it.
- Soo Hyuk? - Yes.
(Is this Soo Hyuk's jacket?)
(All kinds of expensive jackets are brought out for Si Eon.)
- This looks nice. - Yes, it does.
I look so different from Soo Hyuk.
What else do we have?
I'll keep this one.
(This is the coat he's been waiting for.)
- That fits you nicely. - It fits.
- You look better than Gong Yoo. - Do you have something to say?
Do I look like Gong Yoo?
- You should wear a hat with it. - Like the Grim Reaper?
Would you like to cross to the other world today?
Don't say my name.
Do you want to cross the river...
holding the hand of the Grim Reaper?
(He likes the long coat.)
- I think people will laugh at this. - Not at all.
However, they will compare you to Gong Yoo.
I don't want that.
- It's okay, be confident. - I was compared to Gang Dong Won.
(He was compared to the stylish star because of his clothes.)
It's okay.
Wear 20cm inner heels.
(They get busy.)
(They add something to his shoes.)
Wait.
(He tiptoes.)
These are high heels.
(He tries on a chic grey jacket.)
Look how tall I've become.
(I've grown at least 15cm.)
The air is nicer up here.
This looks good.
(He tries the long coat over the jacket.)
(He has to be careful when walking because of the inner heels.)
Let's go.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Butler?
Where's my butler?
(He's more excited about his first ceremony than anything.)
- Bye. - Bye, everyone.
(He looks amazing.)
(Whether it turns out...)
(one way or another...)
(The past 8 years felt like 800years.)
(Hopefully, it has a happy ending.)
(They leave with hopeful hearts.)
Should we make a fan sign, saying we knew he'd win it?
Please don't do that.
That's too much.
(However, he doesn't seem to dislike the thought.)
I wonder how we'll feel later on our way back home.
Everyone get out.
I'll take the subway.
(Hopefully, that won't happen.)
I'm nervous.
You're getting more nervous, aren't you?
(They arrive at MBC...)
(with nervous hearts.)
- You look good. - Thank you.
(Yoon Hyun Min is an actor and his close friend.)
- I heard you were nominated. - What?
I heard you were nominated.
I thought you said Terminator.
(He cracks a lame joke.)
Which award is it?
I was nominated for the Best Couple Award and Rookie of the Year Award.
- Really? - I'm not sure.
Rookie of the Year? Why are you a rookie?
- How would I know? - How long have you been an actor?
It's been eight years.
You're a rookie on your eighth year?
(He's nominated for a rookie award eight years after his debut.)
Can you two pose for a picture?
Is he talking to us?
I'm actually one of the presenters.
I know who the winner is.
- Really? - Yes.
Si Eon.
It looks good.
- What? - Are you prepared?
- What? - Did you prepare a speech?
- You're supposed to be prepared. - Do you know who the winner is?
Yes, the presenters get the result beforehand.
- Really? - Yes.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
(Whom should I thank first?)
Get your speech ready.
I don't think you know.
Change the name if it doesn't have mine on it.
All right.
- Do you know what I was in? - "W".
Yes, I'll trust you.
All right.
Have a speech ready.
- All right. I'll see you later. - Good luck.
- Say hi to me from the stage. - Okay.
Ryu Jun Yeol, please come this way.
Can you come with me?
Here come the stars.
Look how beautiful she is.
(Meanwhile, Si Eon has a blank look on his face...)
(as he looks through social media.)
(Best of luck to you, Si Eon.)
(Make sure to change it to my name, Hyun Min.)
(The cameras are waiting.)
Here come the actors and actresses.
Wait a second.
Si Eon is on his way. Let's wait for him.
He's making us wait?
Han Hyo Joo, Lee Jong Suk and Kim Eui Sung are all upstairs.
You can have them get ready now.
Si Eon is going up.
It looks like I was the last to arrive.
(He's embarrassed.)
(His fellow stars are waiting.)
(He's restless.)
(He finally arrives.)
- How dare you make us wait. - I'm sorry.
You'll go right in.
Could you move out of the way?
Should I go first?
Let's have the actors go first.
(Everything feels unfamiliar at his first awards ceremony.)
- Jong Suk and Hyo Joo can go first. - Okay.
We can all go together.
(The "W" team stands in front of the logo wall.)
Here come Lee Jong Suk and Lee Si Eon.
We have the whole team here.
Could you stand closer to each other?
(All eyes are on them as "W" was very popular.)
They're smiling at the cameras.
Can we have Jong Suk and Hyo Joo step forward?
They were nominated for the Best Couple Award.
Please face this way.
(It's hard for Si Eon to keep his eyes open.)
Lee Jong Suk looks like he just stepped out of a comic book.
(This couple gave the gift of fantasy to the viewers.)
Yes, they're nominees for the Best Couple Award.
Let's have Kim Eui Sung and Lee Si Eon come to the middle.
(He doesn't know what to do.)
All right.
That was the "W" team.
We'll be looking forward to seeing you on stage.
Just walk straight in.
Walk straight in.
(This is where the awards ceremony is being held.)
(Hyo Joo and Jong Suk walk in, looking relaxed.)
(Si Eon still sees white spots.)
(The awards ceremony is starting in 10 minutes.)
What if we win the Best Couple Award?
I'm going to run out crying.
Who nominated us for the best couple?
Do you get a bonus if you win the Best Work Award?
- No. - You don't?
2016 MBC Drama Awards.
(It finally begins.)
Introducing today's hosts.
Kim Gook Jin and U Ie.
(Make some noise.)
(He's more excited at his first experience than the fans.)
(He's funny.)
We have all the top celebrities of this year's MBC dramas.
I'm looking forward to seeing who will win an award today.
We will now begin the ceremony.
We'll have last year's Rookie of the Year Award winner Yoon Hyun Min...
and Kyung Soo Jin...
of "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" present the award.
(The man who made a deal with Si Eon in the parking lot comes on stage.)
(This is it.)
Here are the male nominees.
(Si Eon doesn't even know who else was nominated.)
Male Rookie of the Year Award.
(The male nominees are announced.)
From "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo"...
(Everyone shouts out.)
Nam Joo Hyuk of "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo".
Like other guys...
(Wow)
I don't know if I stand a chance.
(The next nominee announced is Ryu Jun Yeol.)
(This award is the gateway to becoming a top star.)
Ahn Hyo Seop of "Happy Home".
Lee Tae Hwan of "W".
(Si Eon has to compete against actors much younger than him.)
Let's see how big of an applause Si Eon gets.
Lee Si Eon of "W".
(Finally, Si Eon's name is announced.)
There's a slight difference.
(They cheer for him.)
(A huge cheer comes from the crowd.)
(This isn't bad.)
(2016 MBC Drama Awards)
(Which one of these seven nominees could be the winner?)
(The winner of the Best New Actor will be announced.)
I'm nervous.
The Best New Actor goes to...
two winners.
- I hope Si Eon will win it. - I'll announce the winner.
(The cast members of "W" are rooting for Si Eon.)
- I don't think I will. - I think you'll win in.
Nam Ju Hyuk from "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo".
(The first winner is Nam Ju Hyuk.)
(Good. There is one more winner, right?)
I am looking forward to it.
You will win an award.
They'll give you the award, right?
Who else would win the award?
(I feel calm, but I can't help thinking about someone.)
(And the memories of the past 8 years come across my mind.)
(I think of those unforgettable moments that made who I am now.)
Ryu Jun Yeol from "Lucky Romance".
- Congratulations. - Let's get out.
- Let's leave. - I'll get going now.
Let's all leave now.
(Si Eon laughs off the disappointment.)
(Ryu Jun Yeol and Nam Ju Hyuk won the Best New Actor.)
Hello, I'm Nam Ju Hyuk.
(Clapping)
(Si Eon congratulates the winners with a big round of applause.)
(There's only one chance in life to win the Best New Actor.)
A pitiful person like me should've won the award.
I'm very grateful.
(The director consoles Si Eon.)
(Si Eon's fellow actors are giving their acceptance speeches.)
(Si Eon is smiling as if he won the award.)
(He must be congratulating them with all his heart.)
(But he can't help feeling dispirited.)
(He feels sorry for the people who are sending cheerful messages.)
How do you feel?
When she said there were two winners,
I thought I would win the award.
The cast members of "W" thought so, too.
But I didn't win it.
I feel relieved and disappointed at the same time.
I was worried so much.
I hoped the moments would pass quickly.
I'm relieved that it's over now,
but I still wish I had won the award.
Many people texted me. They said, "Next year will be better."
"I will never watch the drama awards ceremony again."
I got text messages like these.
(A staff member rushes to him.)
You need to prepare to present the award.
- Right now? - Yes, they need you to be ready.
(He goes backstage even before he pulls himself together.)
This way, please.
(Si Eon will present the Best Couple Award.)
- Will I announce the winners? - Yes.
(The winners' names are written in this envelope.)
I'm afraid I might be the winner.
(Si Eon is also nominated for the Best Couple Award.)
If you see your name...
- when you open it, - Could it be me?
I'm sure it's not me.
you can pass it to me.
I open the envelope, and...
(If he's the winner,)
(he will pass the envelope to her.)
(He starts to feel excited.)
(It's time to present the Best Couple Award.)
The presenters are Lee Si Eon and Woo Ri.
(They come out on stage.)
(Si Eon seems nervous.)
Hello, I'm Lee Si Eon.
Hello, I'm Woo Ri.
It's nice to meet you all.
Shall we see the nominees for the Best Couple Award first?
The Best Couple Award.
Kim Eui Sung and Lee Si Eon from "W".
(The nominee is here.)
(Eui Sung is embarrassed.)
(The audience members scream.)
Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo from "W".
(The audience cheers more loudly for them.)
(2016 MBC Drama Awards)
(Who will be the winners of the Best Couple Award this year?)
I might win the award.
- That's right. - I'm very nervous.
(He screams.)
(No way.)
Please announce the winners.
Okay.
(He pass it to her as he promised.)
I will announce the winners.
The Best Couple Award goes to...
Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo from "W".
(Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo won the Best Couple Award.)
(Si Eon didn't win any of the awards he was nominated for.)
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Congratulations.
(While Jong Suk and Hyo Joo give their acceptance speeches,)
(Si Eon leaves the stage.)
(He goes back to his seat quietly.)
Good job.
It feels nerve racking to stand on the stage.
(All he can do is congratulating the winners.)
(2016 MBC Drama Awards part one is over.)
It's time for a break.
- Jong Suk, give me your autograph. - Okay.
(He asks Jong Suk for an autograph for his mother.)
(Si Eon's mother asked him to get her Jong Suk's autograph.)
Please tell me your mother's name.
It's Kim Mi Ok.
(Fortunately, Si Eon achieved one thing.)
(Thank you for your love. I will visit you some time.)
Some people missed the chance.
(He takes a group photo with the cast members.)
(He struggles.)
(He sticks his head to be in the camera frame.)
(He gains a good memory, too.)
(The break time is over.)
(Part two begins.)
(In part two, major awards are presented.)
Congratulations, Lee Jong Suk from "W".
Congratulations.
(Every time the name of one of the cast members is called,)
(Si Eon gives a standing ovation.)
(As "W" won 8 awards,)
(Si Eon stood up many times.)
("W" even won the Grand Award.)
(Si Eon stands up again.)
Gosh, that startled me.
(He's startled by the confetti blast.)
That startled me.
(Lee Jong Suk won the Grand Award.)
(Si Eon congratulates everyone even though he didn't win any award.)
(The awards ceremony ended after the Grand award was presented.)
It's done. It's over.
(Si Eon must be disappointed as he didn't win any award.)
- Congratulations. - Let's clap for him.
(But he keeps smiling.)
We'll take a picture of the winners. Please come up on stage.
Should we all go up on stage?
I don't have to, as I didn't win any.
- Come up with us. - Let's go. We're in the team.
Go, "W"!
(His fellow actors who comfort him cheer him up.)
In 1, 2.
(The winners take a photo together.)
In 1, 2.
Of course. I should do that.
(But Si Eon didn't go up on stage.)
Eui Sung asked me to go with them as I'm in the team,
but I didn't go up on stage.
I didn't win any awards.
Should I have gone up with them?
I knew it.
(He feels a little disappointed.)
Next year,
I will try to win a better award such as the Best Actor.
I'm going to work at SBS.
(He holds a grudge.)
They asked me to join them, right?
Si Eon.
Congratulations.
- You're so popular these days. - I didn't win any awards.
- I've been hired at MBC. - You're so popular.
You're awesome.
(They promise to meet again.)
- Congratulations. - I wish you happiness.
You were the star of this ceremony.
- I envy you. - Can I win the Achievement Award?
- Come again? - The Achievement Award.
Did you not win any awards?
Ask them for a necklace as a souvenir.
Congratulations, U Ie.
(Si Eon comforts himself by talking with his fellow actors.)
I'll see you next month.
You must've been busy filming the video.
- I finished it in one day. - I really enjoyed it.
Thank you.
(We hope he will win an award next year.)
(Actor Yoon Hyun Min will be on I Live Alone next week.)
(He faces a mysterious case.)
(The electric wire is found dead.)
(Who could be the killer?)
(He starts to investigate the case, but it's not easy to solve.)
(I would use any means necessary if I can catch you.)
(He never gives up.)
(He narrows down the investigation.)
(The single life of Detective Yoon Hyun Min...)
(will be revealed next week.)
