[How to Reduce Utilities Fees]
Cut down heating and water use.
Episode 02
A towel-wrapped bottle filled with hot water
stays warm a long time.
Don't discard the water when it cools.
Use it for teeth brushing, face washing and laundry.
Don't run the tap; pour water in a container.
Hand washing saves water and power.
Don't use an electric kettle. Boil water on the stove.
Flush the toilet with used water.
Always unplug unused electronics.
Electric kettles, electric blankets,
and heating things use lots of power.
Don't use rice cookers to keep rice warm.
Reduce boiler central heating by wearing a warm coat.
It helps to search for and block draughts.
So warm...
I have a favour to ask.
Can you be the rep for me at today's protest?
Please let me know.
What?
What the heck?
She wants me to do it again?
Not flush after peeing?
Ugh, that's disgusting.
Did only that jump out at you?
Mm. What else?
People hide poverty, and negative things.
But...she's transparent.
You're a weirdo.
When we met, you asked if I was "transparent".
It was like a job interview.
You sure like transparency.
Who...?
Hello. I'm Watanabe Ryu.
I just moved in.
I hope we'll be friends.
Blackie, you're okay!
He...
pointed at his eyes?
He can...see me...
He saw me!
So that's what I felt.
Second unit, floor 4, got you! Wait there.
Just wait...
What to do! What to do!
What...what to do!
What to do!
Who's he?
If you're Japanese, do you speak Korean?
What's this?
Do you...speak Korean?
If he dresses like that to move, how's he normally dress?
Why are all these pretty boys showing me up?
Is this Japanese bread?
What's this? Rapunzel?
Why are you after my character?
You just do the background.
I've seen this woman somewhere...
He pointed...
to his eyes...
What to do! Eyes...
I got you, 2nd unit, floor 4.
Unit 401...
Unit 402, is it?
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! PLEASE!
Dok Mi...
What do you hate most?
Someone knocking on the door.
The telephone ringing.
The intercom buzzing.
Someone calling my name.
Why do you hate those things?
It means I must face someone.
But you can't live not facing people.
When did you begin hating to face people?
Was it after that incident?
You’re ignoring me?
Digital doesn't work, I'll go analogue!
Open the door!
I said, open up!
Seriously...
I know you're in there!
Open the door, pervert!
Open up!
I'll report you to the police!
Hurry and open up!
Go Dok Mi, who spied into people’s homes, was arrested.
Open up!
Open! Open!
I said, open the door!
Hurry up and open.
Hey!
I said, open!
Who's that dressed like that?
It's Enrique!
Why would Enrique...huh?
Hey!
- It is Enrique. - Cool.
This needs recording.
Why's he outside 402?
What's wrong with him?
- Hello. - Hello.
Is 402 Enrique’s girl?
Cool... so cool.
Do you know the man-person in here?
"Man-person"?
Yes! Man-person.
So without knowing who lives there,
you're bashing the door?
This man-person peeped on my house all night.
It's a woman.
A woman lives there.
What’s going on here?
What’s this noise?
OK, man or woman is unimportant.
All night long...
she peeped at me!
Peeped...into your place?
Yes! True, Mister!...
My spine...
My back got...
- tingly... - Tingly?
- And my head... fizzing... - Fizzing?
- Yeah! And... - And?
- How...feeling... - You felt something?
Yeah! I kept feeling it...
I kept feeling it all night!
And I'm still feeling it!
You scum!
I'm glad I caught a scum pervert!
What?
What’s going on?
Ma'am, don't worry.
It's my duty.
You scum...
I have special forces training!
I guarded the 38th parallel!
What are you wearing under there?
Why'd you come in only a trench coat?
He doesn't seem a pervert.
Let go of me!
Hang on a sec!
- I don't think he's a pervert... - Don't get involved.
Maybe you're right.
You're being held for lewd behaviour.
Scum, you're caught today.
That young lady's so quiet.
How dare you barge in?
You've no idea!
Let go of me!
Blackie, are you okay?
Hippo!
- Hippo...Hippo! - Hey, hey!
- That old lady... - Miss, don't worry!
I'll hand him to the police, okay?
You'll get arrested for lewd behaviour.
Mister-let-him-go-the-guy's -really-here-because-of-me
-it's-true-I-did-wrong.
I'll handle this.
Just go inside.
And I'll take over rep duties.
Understood?
- What did she say? - Is he a pervert?
What she said is unimportant.
Mister...
What did she say?
What'd she...?
So it's a mix-up from too-close buildings.
Mister, let go of him. And you calm down.
No big deal, so stop now!
- Break it up! - Okay, okay. Break it up!
Let's stop. It's a misunderstanding.
No, it's not!
[Neighbourhood Association Bulletin]
Did she spy on Enrique?
So women are peeping toms, too!
Hey, peep at what?
- He has nothing to peep at. - One of them peeped.
I think that frumpy woman peeped.
Or why didn't she shout, "You perverted jerk!"?
She only mumbles.
It's because she's kind, pure and clear.
Oh my!
What am I sensing?
There's something a person can't hide.
The woman in 402...
The glint in her eye... how she speaks...
Her front view, back view...
She's just very kind.
Woman in 402?
Bachelor No. 1 expresses interest for woman in 402.
Is that how you feel?
You brat...
So you're a girl?
How sneaky.
This is fun. At least it won't be boring here.
[ Dok Mi ]
[ I could only deposit part of your due fee ]
[ Fighting! ]
My fee's not much... you're at it again?
So that's part of a part fee?
[ Sure. Fighting ]
[ I will be back soon ]
Who is that guy?
This is security.
Today's protest needs everyone's attendance.
I hope everyone comes.
I request full cooperation.
[ Shopping list ]
I don't want to go out.
But I don't like deliveries.
That woman is barricaded against the world.
She's happiest alone in her room.
Then one day...
her next door neighbour gets her to venture outside.
That’s its plot.
That’s not right!
That simply can’t be it!
His strong love must pull her into the world!
Full of love!
Love miracle!
When did you prepare this?
You figured out the ending, so you worked on it a while.
Yes.
I started after I moved... three years?
So annoying.
I'm so annoyed.
Why can't that man confess to her?
Just let him confess his love!
Can't he shyly express it?
Then what might that girl do?
She'd jump at it, or cut ties with him.
A shy love confession can't be respected,
only a confident one.
That’s why this man can't confess his love to her!
He fears upsetting her.
He doesn't want her to suffer!
I see...
Shy confessions can’t exist.
That’s why I didn't get it.
Send me Episode One
and tell me when you can start.
Tenancy at Ocean Village decreased by 43%.
That's how...
Miss! Are you okay?
- Be careful. - Watch your step.
I'm sorry...sorry.
I'll introduce our new 403 tenant...from Japan.
- Wata... - Watanabe.
Hello. I'm Watanabe Ryu. I came to learn Korean cuisine.
Applause.
Japan?
- You're from Japan! - Why?
During the time in the palace...
- Palace? - Oh my...
Oh my, no, never mind.
- Palace? - Palace?
This is the third meeting this month.
We're all busy people.
He's right.
We have a webtoon to do.
You last signed a petition to the Environment Department.
But this petition will go to our Director.
You think money we'll get is for me?
It's a lot of money.
How much do drawings earn?
Ma'am, sign here.
- Here? - Yes.
Okay, everyone's signed.
Meet out front later with headbands and signs.
- Our rep today is... - Instead of 402...
I'll take over.
You refused yesterday.
No, well...
I feel the urge to protest for our rights.
Compensate! Compensate!
That’s right. Compensate. Compensate.
Okay, see you all there.
I've something to say!
I'm teaching cooking. Please come.
Oh my, what kind?
Japanese, Spanish and Indian food.
OK, I'll come. Thanks.
OK! Wednesdays, Unit 403...
cooking lessons.
Japanese, Indian and Spanish cooking.
Seriously!
OK, let's go.
Take one of these instructions with you.
Thanks for your efforts.
Should we leave now?
I'll come soon.
You'd prefer that?
I said earlier I'll be the rep.
You need only attend quietly.
Then...excuse me.
That woman's stingy.
She should pay you to take over for her...
- She can hear you! - Why'd you hit me?
- You brat, do you ever think? - What?
What?
Why don't you just shout it to the neighbourhood?
I said nothing wrong.
Of course it was wrong.
Hey, she'd be hurt, hearing you say that.
Why are you mad?
Ajumma, remember we met outside my brother's.
No. Don't answer, Go Dok Mi.
You won't answer, will you?
Okay.
911? I think a dog's hurt but its owner is out.
This is Ocean Village.
What now? What now?
I have evidence.
911 dispatchers played this for us.
They asked if we had a dog.
I didn't understand
but I realised when I saw you.
That’s why...
I asked 911 for your recorded call.
Good on you.
You weren't saving the nation, so why bother 911?
I wasn't saving the nation, so I was out of line.
You were peeping at Hippo, not me, right?
Ah...our dog.
Huh?
Ajumma!
Can't you speak?
I'm no Ajumma... I'm in my 20s!
Please go away!
Just tell me you're not an Ajumma or to go away.
I came because I behaved rashly this morning.
If someone spied on you with binoculars...
how'd you feel?
Don't question me.
I miss my room.
Stop thinking about going home, and answer!
You hear my thoughts?
That's right.
Look at a person talking to you.
Anyway, I can get over-dramatic.
I thought you were a predator.
I had no idea about you.
I get it.
But why'd you think I was a man?
But why'd I think you were a man?
Anyway, I over-reacted.
Get what I'm saying?
One nod is plenty.
Ajumma...
Your nose is red. You could pull Santa's sleigh.
Wow, it's so red.
You must be cold. Should we talk inside?
Okay! Let's go in!
She took off.
Goal!
Which position is unique in a soccer team?
Correct. Goal keeper.
Is it good they use their hands?
It's not.
They're always nervous someone may shoot a goal.
So it's lonely and hard.
You're the goal keeper.
It's a hard position.
Stay strong. Go!
It's not Blackie...it's Hippo.
One nod is plenty.
That kid dared tease an ajumma?
Why am I calling myself an old lady?
That ajumma said nothing.
Why's it feel like we had a conversation?
[ Enrique makes an appearance! ] [ Adorable Enrique! ] [ He's so cute! ]
[ Enrique is in our office! ]
You're from Spain but you speak Korean well.
- Aren't I good? - Yes.
What's that...
Yeah! I learned through fables.
You call it a lecture but
aren't you promoting your new game?
So your question means...
You think my lecture
is trying to sell my game?
If that's how you took it.
Then, do you want to go to my lecture?
I WON'T promote my game.
I want to inspire people.
Next question.
May I have another one? This got cold.
[ Enrique thinks he's all that ]
[ Enrique's son on the plane looked about 5 years old ]
[ He's full of American dreams ]
Who's this Enrique they're all on about?
[ I want a lot of seafood in Enrique's special spaghetti ]
Is your love Han Tae Joon?
Cupid's guess was right?
Why so serious?
Wow, that expression doesn't suit you.
Sorry.
I hope she doesn't turn up tonight. Ugh, it's cold!
[ Will I see you tonight? It's been 2 years ]
[ Unit 402 rent ]
Thank you.
Ajumma, fresh ones, okay?
Ajumma! That one. To the right.
Come on, the bigger one.
The other one too. What's that long one?
Oh, this too.
I searched everywhere and found him.
It didn't take long.
He moved here about three years ago.
It's cold! Everyone have one.
- Thank you. - You, too.
Thank you.
Watanabe! Watanabe!
Thank you.
- For you. - Thanks.
I thought it was for me...
Yes, thanks.
Um, I'll...I'll be right down.
Take your time.
Let's all rally and get compensated!
- Get compensated! - Get compensated!
Is money all that matters?
- No! - We matter too!
Wait, not loud enough!
Instead of "Flower boy next door", it's "Scandal next door"!
He's all excited!
- Compensate! - Compensate!
How shabby...
Is this really the place?
It's dark even in daytime. Improve our living standards!
- Improve! - Improve!
Our homes are neglected! Improve our standards!
-Improve! - Improve!
Stop lining your pockets, and compensate!
Rats have better holes. Why's our place so dark!
- That’s not right! - Compensate!
Dok Mi?
Go Dok Mi?
Dok Mi?
Go Dok Mi?
Dok Mi, it is you!
Oh, my! It is you!
You didn't change a bit!
Why are you doing this?
Just because.
Why are you here?
Do you live here?
Every building has a leak.
I might rent here, and I can't have a leak.
But it's not a water leak...
What's a prospect's right?
Prospect's right... prospect...
Ah, it's a tenant issue!
- Ajumma, nice to see you. - Go Dok Mi, that man up there...
*Lonely Beauty
Go Dok Mi*? Your name's Go Dok Mi?
Dok Mi, who's this guy?
I'm her neighbour in this protest.
We were enemies
like Romeo and Juliet. Now we're friends.
She always has luck...
So you live here?
Yes.
I... .
Can you...? .
That woman's mouth is like a broken tap in a mountain village.
Not one drop comes out when needed...
and in the middle of the night, it flows on its own.
All the words she couldn't say at that moment...
come pouring out belatedly.
'Next time, I should answer like this'...
'I should make this retort.'
She always vows this.
That woman...
always speaks impressive lines alone in her room.
You're awake!
You can see your place from here.
- Why am I here? - You fainted.
You should get examined.
My brother's a doctor. He'll be home soon.
I'll get going.
C'mon, seriously...
Where are you going with no thanks?
I appreciate your help earlier.
Can...
Can you...
Can you help me?
I'm about to do something difficult...
and I'd like you to stay.
[Next Episode Preview]
I know why you were peeping.
You like Tae Joon.
I ended your unrequited love.
My unrequited love of ten years is over.
What are you two doing?
So this is why you kicked me out?
And I came back too soon.
Ajumma, let's go on a farewell trip!
I haven't much free time.
I can't stay at home moping over her.
If you fear people, embrace the world more.
Until I go back to Spain...
I'll drag you around and show you the world.
