This week's story on Rainbow Club.
No one can stop me.
Idiots' instinct to gallop who don't know the meaning of giving up.
Face it if you can't avoid it.
Kian84 goes to the hospital for a checkup.
He summons...
animal friends and real friends to overcome the panic disorder.
- What are you doing to Wilson? - Gosh.
(But no one can expect what he will do next.)
What are you doing?
I don't speak English.
Since the trip to LA, Si Eon feels confident in his English,
but in English class he went to with passion,
apparently he suffered so much.
Si Eon's rough escape from English idiot.
How about Si Eon? Do you cook for yourself?
(Well...)
Ramyeon.
I Live Alone A Hard Day Special.
(One day in early summer)
Nice to meet you.
- Na Rae. - You look like a Welsh Corgi.
You must be working out your shoulders a lot.
- I'm bulking up. - Your shoulders are bulked up.
When I walked in, the crew said,
"Why are you wearing Piccolo costume?"
(King of comedians, Naraecolo)
You have the most number of characters in the world.
- "Piccolo." - "Piccolo."
- Also, did you read the news? - What?
Continuing from April, I Live Alone...
once again became Korea's number one favorite show in May.
- We topped it again. - Thank you.
(Bowing)
- Come on. - Come on.
Thank you.
- I slipped. - Is that right?
(I slipped.)
We must work hard in the second half to return the favor.
We must have a good start to maintain the first place.
Our star. Our celebrity.
- Kian84. - Celebrity.
It pressures me.
You said we need a good start, and you start with mine.
If we lose our first place in the second half, it's your fault.
- Right? - Yes.
(Joking)
(Kian84 feels cloudy today.)
Where is that?
Do I go in now?
Hello.
I...
(Restless)
Where is that place?
(Where is he?)
It's a hospital.
I've been suffering from panic disorder for four years.
Since then, I've been going to the hospital regularly.
I found this hospital when I went to Seoul this time.
I'm out of medication, so I went to get prescription.
How have you been since the last appointment?
- We changed the medicine. - Yes.
It's pretty good.
- That's a relief. - Do you take it regularly?
Since I take it at night, I sometimes skip it.
- I sometimes skip it. - Okay.
But it's gotten better.
Is panic disorder the exact diagnosis?
It's panic disorder plus...
other stuff. It's a mix of various things.
For example, if an elevator is packed,
then I take the stairs.
Really?
You feel suffocated.
- I have that too. - You do?
But I don't really mind it.
- I just think it's normal. - That's the normal attitude.
- I just pass it. - But it's a problem when you can't.
The first time you were here...
- was after the awards ceremony. - Yes.
Oh, that time.
(He was anxious to stand in front of many people.)
You were worried at the time.
Right. He found it very difficult.
(Kian84 went to the hospital.)
(Nervous)
Were you okay at the time?
When I took medicine for the awards ceremony,
I was fine up on the stage.
It felt like home.
Right. Gosh.
That's why.
- He wasn't himself. - Do you know the capital of Jeju?
(Do you know the capital city of Jeju Island?)
Did your doctor watch the awards ceremony?
He said he did.
Didn't your doctor say this after watching it?
- "He needs more medicine." - "Medicine didn't work on him."
- "Maybe he needs an injection." - He seemed cured.
Is there an injection for it?
The first time you were here,
we actually talked about...
your concentration.
It seems you aren't organized.
- You also forget about your plans. - Yes.
- You also forget your stuff. - Yes.
You were able to concentrate when you were drawing,
but lately, you can't.
When I was young, my mother made me study,
but I always ended up doing something else.
What was it...
- ADHD? Yes. - ADH?
I think that's what it is.
It's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
I had that too. Attention deficit.
Because I couldn't study,
I asked my mom to buy concentration glasses.
- It was really expensive. - Right.
- So expensive. - Right.
I used them because...
when I read a long text, I couldn't concentrate.
For example, if there's a text, while I'm reading,
- I go back up. - Everyone does that.
I read the same line like four times.
I couldn't do a reading comprehension.
That's weird. No such thing existed in Joseon Dynasty.
Back then,
- That can't be possible. - they were made with straws.
There wouldn't have been any Western culture.
The port was open at the time.
Blond with blue eyes?
The missionary guy gave them to me.
"The missionary guy."
I'm surprised to hear that both you and him...
thought it was a problem...
to read the same line repeatedly.
Why?
When I could just get it wrong?
- Just memorize it. - Just read.
It's a problem because you think it's a problem.
Yes. Why do you think it's a problem?
If you read the fourth line...
- Another wise saying. - That's a wise saying.
"It's a problem because you think it's a problem."
Just get that question wrong.
That's why you're the problem.
- Just get that question wrong. - Yes.
There's no need to read it over.
- That's a good saying, but... - Parents would hate it.
In case of adult ADHD,
half of the patients have anxiety disorders.
- People who have this? - Yes.
They actually have trouble reading social signs...
because they lack concentration.
When we shoot,
we keep talking.
I sometimes don't know what they're talking about.
Kian84 does that sometimes.
When I had a meal with other people in university,
I couldn't join them.
I was the only one that didn't laugh.
I felt lonely.
I can make a conversation when it's 1 on 1.
But when I'm in a group...
- You can't focus. - No.
It's awkward.
I can't focus.
You're pretty good when you're with us.
Right now,
I feel most comfortable among people I meet.
- Really? - Because...
Kian84 said this before.
We meet once a week.
He doesn't meet his friends that often...
- or his parents. - No.
But we're the people he meets most often.
So when I see you on other shows,
I feel jealous.
- Really? - Yes.
- I kind of feel that too. - Really?
Hyun Moo is fine...
because he has always...
- been on many shows. - How about Na Rae?
When Na Rae's on other show,
I'm disappointed.
Na Rae.
Dhalsim's on many shows lately.
I'm kind of disappointed.
I feel like she doesn't try her best here.
You know...
I'm disappointed to see you in drama.
- Hey. - Why would you be disappointed?
- The entertainer is acting. - I know.
- Are you pretending to be an actor? - I know.
What's gotten into him suddenly?
I was going to ask you...
to have a concentration test.
Are you available for that today?
- Yes. - Concentration test?
Then...
This test is actually for a 16-year-old.
The test for adult is still being developed.
I have to take the one for a 16-year-old?
It's still enough to test your impulsiveness...
and concentration level.
- Okay. - Let's try that,
and we'll talk again after the test.
- You can go take the test now. - Thank you.
(He moves to take the concentration test.)
(The test is done on a computer.)
That's available nowadays.
It's not done on paper.
You do it on a computer.
Press the box by order.
- First, - Yes.
remember the order, press them by order and okay.
Isn't this what chimps did in the past?
I've seen chimps doing it.
- Right. - Right.
There was a really smart chimp.
- He was very good. - He was really good.
He's faster than me.
That's better than any...
Are you sure that's not a human wearing a mask?
(Chimpanzee was highly educated.)
Is that possible?
Why that scene?
(Kian84 still has the habit of his ancestors.)
(Educated chimpanzee versus Kian84)
Chimpanzee versus Kian84.
Chimpanzee won't be easy.
- It won't be easy. - I'm not that bad.
- That looks like a game. - That looks like a game.
This, this, okay.
This is easy.
- There will be more. - Okay.
It's getting faster and more.
I'm slower than the chimpanzee.
(Stretching)
(He's bored already.)
I have to do it for a long time.
Itself is the concentration test.
(His concentration is running out.)
- That's his habit. - Yes.
Why do you keep stretching?
Because he can't concentrate. It's boring.
- It's boring. - It's boring.
(He even acts weird.)
I noticed...
that he can't stay still in the same spot for a long time.
(What's the result going to say?)
- What's wrong with him? - What's he doing?
I do like 5, 6 of them...
in different types.
(He sometimes listens.)
(He tries to focus, but he's losing it.)
He's turning into a chimp.
(He's turning into a chimp.)
Caesar.
(His appearance is quite hard to continue the match.)
(Finally the last test)
This is pretty confusing,
so you need to listen to the instruction.
Let's have a practice.
The next test is...
There will be a sound and a picture on the screen.
If the sound...
or the picture is repeated,
press the button.
We'll start the test when you press the start button.
- I don't understand. - You don't understand.
If you look here,
there will be a shape and sound together on the screen.
(The shape and sound appear together.)
(They're both different.)
That's pretty hard.
If either one of them is same as the previous one,
you must press the space bar.
Does it have to match the sound and the shape?
(He can't understand either machine or human.)
Do you understand?
What's she talking about?
If there's a triangle with a beep,
and there's a square with a beep next,
then you must choose the triangle with a beep.
- No. - There's a question and answer. No?
There's no such test.
(There's no such test.)
- There's no such test. - It's hard, isn't it?
Make a new one.
This makes me lose concentration.
You say it.
Do you get it?
- I don't get it. - He's like,
"Why don't you get it?"
- No. - No. Say it.
- What? - What is it?
(He's a host of a quiz show.)
(Everyone pays attention to him.)
What is it?
Shall we keep watching?
- He doesn't know. - I told you it's hard.
- He doesn't know. - Let's watch.
- I've never seen him doing that. - We'll find out.
Ringing.
This isn't the exact sound.
It's only an example.
If you look in the screen,
there will be a sound and shape together.
You have to compare the 1st and 2nd,
then 2nd and 3rd. It continues.
- I have to remember it? - Yes.
(They don't match.)
If they make a same sound,
or same shape, press the button.
(The sound matches.)
Now, try...
the 3rd and 4th.
It's the different sound.
But you must press the button.
But this one is dang, this one is dong.
(But this one is dang, this one is dong.)
It's the same shape.
Either same shape or same sound.
Do you get it?
- I'll show you first. - Right.
Demonstration is faster than explanation.
Yes. You must try it.
Don't press it if there's no sound?
(Don't press it if there's no sound?)
No. I don't think that's what it means.
There were same sounds.
(The nurse sits down again.)
It's repeated in the next one.
If it's the same sound or the same shape,
you must press the space bar.
(The explanation is repeated.)
I don't get it.
(Me neither.)
(Who are you?)
You look like a chimp.
(He looks like a chimp.)
(The pride of a quiz show host is hurt.)
- What does she mean? - Explain to us.
Na Rae. Don't treat him like an animal.
- What does this mean? - What does this mean?
What does this mean? Say it.
I give up.
Me too.
- I'll continue to be ADHD. - I'll stay like this.
Don't judge people with that.
That's annoying. What is that?
Maybe the nurse is a genius.
That's a pretty good program developed by doctors.
- I don't get it. - Let's keep watching.
I don't get it.
So...
(So...)
Shape and sound.
It will be on screen.
You're saying there's a specific sound for a shape.
There will be a partner sound for this shape.
They're not partners.
That's wrong. You didn't understand it right.
You must compare with the previous question.
- Oh, compare with the previous one. - Yes.
- The one right before? - Yes.
You have to compare the 2nd and 3rd questions.
The chimpanzee won.
Are you saying it's going to make the same sound?
The sound is going to be different every time.
(The nurse sits back again.)
She keeps sitting down.
She's supposed to explain then leave,
so he can concentrate alone.
Why is this part so long?
She keeps getting up and down.
She must be startled.
You look cool like that.
- What? - You in agony.
"In agony."
Stop relating it to chimpanzee.
- You won. - You win.
(The nurse doesn't give up.)
- She's amazing. - She's so patient.
Look at that.
- Doctor Jane Goodall. - Doctor Jane Goodall.
The shape is the same.
Either the same shape or the same sound.
Oh, the same shape or the same sound.
(He finally understood.)
(That was nothing.)
I'm sorry.
- That's what you meant. - One second.
Okay. I get it.
I get it now.
(He retries the practice question.)
(Shape, sound)
(Ring, ring)
You must press.
Yes.
(Shutter)
Yes.
- Press. - Right.
(Now, the nurse leaves.)
(Shape, sound)
(Shutter, ring)
(Kian84 presses for what does not match.)
He's pressing for everything.
He'd get at least half when he presses every time.
That's not a bad idea.
(Embarrassed)
(After going by the flow of consciousness...)
That was hard.
It's over.
You can go back to see the doctor.
Thank you.
(How's the test result?)
- This is a concentration test. - Yes.
Was it difficult?
- It was boring. - Boring?
It made me shudder.
It's usually for the upper grades and middle school students.
But...
the nurse...
had to explain for a pretty long time.
(The nurse was pretty busy to make him understand.)
That took a while.
(Sorry)
(The test result arrives.)
It's in.
(The result seems obvious.)
So,
if you look...
There are many lows.
(Chuckling)
- Many lows? - When you had to press...
for pictures...
In terms of impulsiveness,
your impulsive urge stands out.
Which part of the test showed my impulsiveness?
You pressed the things you shouldn't have pressed.
- That's being impulsive. - You have to be patient.
Anxious people...
need regular exercise.
It will not only improve your health but also...
That's why you kept jogging in the States and in Suwon.
- I've been... - Is it to improve focus?
- running all along. - He had to exercise.
And as you probably already know... I am worried...
that you don't eat and sleep regularly.
- I can't do that. - You can't do that, can you?
You need to stop drinking. Only then the medicine...
will help relieve the anxiety.
- I don't drink every day. - Kian84 doesn't drink much,
- does he? - I drink six days a week.
He drinks when he eats.
- With food. - With food.
- Really? - But you don't drink much.
Do you drink alone?
- I drink alone. - He drinks alone a lot.
I like drinking, you know?
So I asked the doctor.
I asked him which is better. Drinking little bit every day...
- Or? - or drinking like me.
- She drinks a lot once a week. - A lot.
- That's better. - The doctor said my way is better.
- Na Rae. - Yes?
Both are bad.
(Both are bad for you.)
What's the point of winning that?
- Right. - Drinking a lot isn't good for you.
I was listening really attentively.
I recommend that you continue to actively participate...
in activities like giving lectures. Don't avoid them.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
(The rough time is over.)
But we have to understand this about that concentration test.
- I host a quiz show. - Right.
Lack of concentration isn't a big problem.
You know Park Kyung from Block B, right?
- He's a Mensa member. - He is.
- His IQ is over 156. - Right.
And he's really terrible at this test.
He has a hard time concentrating.
- It doesn't matter then. - It depends on person.
So it doesn't mean you have a problem.
- My IQ was a two-digit number. - What?
(He suddenly confesses.)
That's...
- Me too. I got a two-digit too. - Are you a dolphin?
- I got a two-digit number too. - I didn't believe it.
- How old were you? - I was in sixth grade.
- That's why my mom was... - Your IQ is a two-digit number?
- I don't believe it. - Wait.
Did your feelings cool down a little?
No. That's not it.
- I am just... - He's disappointed.
I am surprised though.
(He's teasing her.)
Honestly, I am surprised.
It's easy to get a two-digit number.
Not being able to focus isn't a big problem.
- That's not a problem. - What's wrong with that?
Of course. And you're doing so well.
And it improves over time.
(Kian84 left the hospital.)
(He gets a taxi in the rain.)
Hello.
(He calls someone right away.)
- Yes, Mom. - Yes.
- Kian84. - I went to see a doctor.
- Did you go see a doctor? - Yes.
He said my panic disorder has improved.
- That's good. - Did it improve?
But I have the other condition called HID.
- HID? - Right.
(It's ADHD.)
He says I have ADHD.
Are you getting treated...
- for anxiety too then? - Yes.
Gosh, if I didn't draw cartoons...
Why are you pick the sole of your shoe?
My gosh.
You must've been a really bad student.
I was better than you.
(I got 170 on my college entrance exam.)
My grades were worse than yours, but it never troubled me.
(The rain pours heavier.)
- Can I listen to some music? - Sure.
(He chooses a moody song.)
You need to listen to a song on a rainy day.
- Right. Na Rae knows it. - I love rainy days.
I know.
He's shooting a drama alone.
- Has he immersed in himself? - What is he doing?
He concentrates well at times like that.
(He always lose himself when he's singing.)
He's fine when he is singing or dancing.
(He immerses into the song as if he's at a coin karaoke.)
(Let's play the next one.)
The cab driver is driving really fast.
(But the faster the taxi is, the more sentimental he gets.)
(In my heart, no, no)
You should've paid him 1.50 dollars more.
That's the price of singing at a coin karaoke.
The weather was so good in the morning.
(He finished singing.)
(He's surprised.)
It's a heavy rain.
(He wets his hands in the heavy rain.)
(And he uses them to moisturize his skin.)
- No way. - What is he doing?
(It's an eye-opening sight.)
It's got so much fine dust.
What are you doing, Kian84?
I act like that.
(He's assessing himself.)
(Meanwhile, Kian84, who's lost his concentration...)
(continues to go somewhere.)
(Is he going to Suwon?)
Why are you going to Suwon?
You're going to teach, aren't you?
- The art students. - The exams are over.
(The rain stopped, and he arrived in Suwon.)
- Where is he going? - Where is he going?
(Where is Kian84 headed?)
Isn't that someone's house?
Whose house is he going to?
Is it his friend's?
My goodness He opened the door.
(He naturally opens the door and goes inside.)
Why is the house so hot?
I moved.
- Did you move? - You're lying.
- Your house was good. - That house was good.
(He recently moved to a new house in Seoul.)
(The three idiots had a housewarming party too.)
You moved out right after the housewarming party.
At that house near Seoul Station, they just ate fish heads.
- Then he moved. - My goodness.
(Why did you move again?)
My house in Seoul is still there.
I've been drawing in the academy here since January or February.
I kept sleeping at the academy.
(He's been sleeping at the art academy in Suwon.)
I was being a nuisance.
So I thought I would find a place to stay nearby.
And it turned out to be the flat right next to the flat...
I stayed when I was 20.
Really?
When I was 20, I started writing...
and I was full of dreams.
And this was right next to that flat.
- No way. - So I got it without a hesitation.
I loved it.
(This is Kian84's new flat.)
Isn't that the second floor of Na Rae's house?
- It's similar. - It's much wider.
- It looks like Na Rae's house. - It does look like it.
(It's strangely similar to...)
(the second floor of Na Rae's house.)
It really looks like the second floor of my house.
Hey.
(Hey!)
- I am really surprised. - Na Rae.
You.
(Let us introduce Kian84's new studio flat.)
(The flat shows the owner's minimalistic lifestyle.)
- He does laundry now. - I do laundry now.
(He's cleaner than we thought.)
(The three idiots welcome the guests.)
It looks like a family photo.
- What's that? - It's digitally manipulated.
Their faces are too bright.
They are too bright.
Is that a photo or a painting?
(It looks more like a painting.)
(He first frees his feet from the socks.)
(Oh, my gosh!)
I am hungry.
(Hungry, he heads straight to the fridge.)
(There's nothing much.)
(He takes out kimchi and a pot.)
- He cooks. - It's my first time seeing it.
(Even before the pan gets heated,)
(he adds in kimchi and cooking oil.)
(He adds a generous amount of sugar.)
Why are you putting so much sugar?
I think he uses more sugar than Mr. Baek Jong Won.
(He stirs them together.)
- What is that? - It's kimchi fried rice.
- What? - It looks delicious.
It's really good.
Kian84. When you cook with a steel pot,
you can't use steel chopsticks to stir the food.
- Why not? - It's not good for you.
That's why I stirred it gently without touching the bottom.
But we heard the scraping sound. How can you deny it?
(Scraping)
I made sure the pot wasn't scratched.
I was afraid that the steel bits would get mixed in.
But that scraping sound was really loud.
Was it?
(Let's get ready to eat.)
- What's that? - He's the manly man.
- He's become cool again. - I know.
(He throws the sketchbook on the floor too.)
(My brother is great.)
- What is he doing? - You don't have to bend down.
- That will be my table. - Right.
- Do you not have a table? - I at least have a table.
My goodness.
(It's okay if I don't have a table.)
(He puts it on top of his sketchbook.)
- What's that? - What's that?
- He cooked something. - Is it ramyeon?
It's kimchi jjigae.
I bought that.
- You bought that. - That's why it looked good.
(It's a strange combination of two salty dishes.)
It looks delicious.
(As soon as he takes his first bite,)
(he looks for his phone.)
(He watches a show.)
Thank you very much.
I love watching something on my phone while eating.
Don't you have a TV?
- I love watching my phone. - Don't you have a TV?
- I didn't connect it. - What?
- He didn't connect it. - You didn't?
(Even if he has a TV,)
(he doesn't watch it.)
(He eats the spicy broth as he watches something.)
Wait a second. What kind of spoon is that?
Isn't that a plastic spoon?
- My goodness. - It's a plastic spoon.
(He refuses to do anything inside the box.)
What is wrong with you?
(He creates his own style.)
Seriously.
You look like a wild man.
(He finishes his meal with the plastic spoon.)
Half your spoon will be gone someday...
if you continue using it like that.
I'm saying this out of experience.
Do you still have it?
(He clears his bowl of food with the plastic spoon.)
That was good.
(He starts washing the dishes right away.)
- You wash it right away. - Impressive.
- Do you do the dishes? - This is an unfamiliar scene.
There were only a few dishes.
(Since he turned the water on,)
(he washes his face.)
My goodness.
Did you wash your face with dishwashing soap?
I washed it off first.
- It's detergent. - Your face must be clean.
(He finishes washing the dishes.)
(This towel looks familiar.)
My goodness.
- What's this? - My goodness.
It's a rag, dishcloth and towel.
He lives a truly minimal life.
He's a wild man.
(Kian84 stands in front of his laundry rack.)
(Tossing it on the floor)
Kian84.
- Kian84. - That's awesome.
You're a real man.
(He tosses the clothes on the floor.)
- At least you fold it. - Of course I do.
That's a relief.
- You organize it. - He does everything necessary.
I wonder if this will fit.
(He washes his blanket next.)
Si Eon gave me that blanket.
Go in.
You even clean the house.
(Kian84 cleans the floor with a vacuum cleaner.)
(This is weird.)
Why are you doing that to Wilson?
(Wilson also takes the blow in this unfamiliar situation.)
What are you doing?
- I don't believe it. - Doesn't everyone do that?
(You've become neater.)
I have a small house.
- So, it isn't hard to clean. - That's why studios are nice.
- They're small. - I got used to it.
(He finishes cleaning.)
(He looks for something on his shelf.)
Where did it go?
(He lies down.)
When did I write this?
(What was he looking for?)
I wrote all that since I was 20 to draw cartoons.
(I see.)
(He does down memory lane.)
The university student in the new city, episode one.
I went back to college this year.
Everything at school seemed new to me.
New people, new faces, new voices...
and new scents. Everything was different.
Isn't that what you wrote about in "College King"?
Yes, I used to write a lot.
I sometimes thought it would be more comfortable to eat lunch alone,
but I tried to get along with other people despite the awkwardness.
I smiled even when I didn't find the conversation interesting.
I showed exaggerated reactions...
and blended in with everyone,
so I wouldn't become ostracized.
(I'll pat you on the back.)
When I listen to what Kian84 thinks,
it seems as if he makes himself more miserable.
I never had that thought.
There are people like you and people like Kian84.
But he struggles with that.
It stresses him out.
This is what I think.
People like you that don't...
fuss about the situation...
wouldn't be able to draw cartoons with the sentiment Kian84 has.
You have to feel all those emotions...
in order to put it on paper.
You have to be dull to be able to be on standby for a long time.
You'd die from the stress if you were sensitive.
I'm sensitive,
but I don't suffocate myself like he does.
- It's stressful. - You two are different.
(He pushes his memories back for a minute.)
(He calls someone.)
- Hello. - Are you at the office?
- Yes. - I'm thinking of walking the dogs.
Can I go now?
- Yes. - Okay, I'll be right there.
- Okay. - Bye.
- You don't have any dogs. - They're my friend's.
I sometimes walk them.
(He hangs up the phone...)
(and leaves to meet the friend.)
I'm wearing the pants Henry gave me.
(Henry lent his pants to Kian84.)
- Are these okay? - Yes.
Kian84, you're wearing the pants backward.
He's wearing them backward.
(There was controversy about which was the front.)
He didn't give them to you, he just gave up.
He gave up?
(He arrives at an office.)
- It's Na Rae. - They're so cute.
Its legs are longer than Na Rae's.
I thought they might get hot in the summer.
It got heavier.
They don't bark at you.
(Biggie, Corgi)
(Winter, Silver poodle)
That's a close friend's office.
She has many dogs.
They like going out...
and I like to jog.
I needed exercise...
and thought I'd walk them while I was at it.
- It's boring to run alone. - It's nice to go with dogs.
- Take good care of them. - Okay.
I should walk them every now and then.
Why are there so many dogs at that office?
She loves animals.
There is another animal on the rooftop.
Really?
(Biggie gets close to Kian84.)
Do you want to go out?
(He gets ready to leave.)
Right, I should see the pig before I leave.
No, don't.
(Kian84 heads somewhere.)
- She raises a pig? - A pig?
Is it a dog named "Pig"?
Pig.
(He is excited.)
It must be hard to be locked up all day in there.
- Hi. - That's amazing.
It's really a pig.
It's a pig.
- Its name is Lunch. - It's cute.
It's called Lunch.
Come here.
Poor you.
It's cute.
- It's cute. - That's a pet pig, right?
It used to be tiny.
- But it did... - Did it grow bigger?
It broke into the feed bag and ate it.
- That's why it's a pig. - That's right.
It got so much fatter.
It used to look like a dog.
It's become a boar.
Are those teeth on the side?
- It's so cute. - Will they point up later?
Yes.
Don't bite my finger.
Why if your fur so coarse?
It's like a porcupine's.
(He smells the pig.)
Why are you smelling the pig?
They don't smell, do they?
It smells a little.
Does it take baths?
I think Bo Hwa gives it baths.
- Pigs are clean animals. - You're right.
It doesn't taste good, does it?
It's cute.
We were going to eat pork belly today, but I don't think we can.
That's right.
We were talking about pork belly earlier.
(This was their conversation before the shoot.)
- What? - Pork belly.
Should I have two portions?
I was planning to have six.
I don't think we can eat it after watching this.
The two pigs kept fighting,
so they've been isolated.
Come here.
(He's seen it since it was a baby...)
There you go.
(and handles it easily.)
Come on out.
Morning is smaller.
I'm pretty sure...
that's a female pig.
(Morning is familiar with Kian84.)
Have some water with it.
Here you go.
Who knew we'd find a pig on the rooftop?
(He looks proud.)
There's more.
(Eating)
Lunch must want to come out.
(I want to go out.)
Here you go.
(It's time to go back into the cage.)
They seem to like you.
(Good job.)
(That's enough for today.)
(He feels sad.)
(I'll be back, Morning and Lunch.)
(He heads to a park to exercise with the dogs.)
(Hyun Moo is already there, taking a walk.)
I'm there too.
- It's Hyun Moo. - Na Rae and I are there.
Let's go.
(They start exercising.)
My goodness.
They run so fast.
Hurry up.
(They run at full speed.)
That's good.
(He's being led by the dog.)
Look at it run with its short legs.
(They're very excited.)
- They're excited. - It's amazing.
If I run with dogs when I don't feel like running,
I'm forced to exercise.
(Panting)
(Let's slow down.)
Dogs need to be walked.
(Is this exercise or training?)
1, 2, 1, 2.
(We can do this. 1, 2, 1, 2.)
High mountains, deep valleys
What's that?
I haven't heard that for a while. We sing it in the army.
Snowy front lines
- We go toward it - We go toward it
(He ends up on the ground.)
It must be tiring.
Give me a second.
They want to run more. Get up.
They wanted to run more.
(He gasps for breath.)
Take a break.
(They are energetic.)
Sit down.
(They're still energetic.)
There's another dog over there.
They want to run.
Slow down.
The poodle is running away.
Come here.
Why are you so fierce?
- My goodness. - It's scared.
- It's energetic. - Be nice.
It's really like Na Rae.
- I think so too. - It's the perfect nickname.
It really is.
(The dogs and Kian84 decide to get some rest.)
(There is a huge gap in their physical strengths.)
(This is his limit.)
I was exhausted after running with those small dogs.
They're waiting for you.
Come here. Have some water.
(Come here and have some water.)
You look like the one that needs water.
- Drink some water. - He was talking to himself.
Let's have some water.
(He feeds the dogs that must be tired first.)
Here.
Na Rae is gulping it down. It must think it's alcohol.
Does it taste like alcohol?
It looks like Na Rae drinking soju.
(He rummages through his bag.)
Let's eat.
Here's your food.
(You're a great friend.)
Let's eat.
Winter.
(It eats hungrily.)
(Biggie is drooling.)
(Laughing)
You must like it. Does it taste good?
(Smelling it)
Are you going to eat it?
(Please, Kian84.)
Don't eat it.
(He ate bait and now dog food?)
You ate bait and now you're eating dog food?
No, I'm just smelling it.
I have a sensitive sense of smell.
It smells like bait.
(Who cares? It tastes good.)
I should write a poem.
You have a better life than pigs.
It's better than a pig's.
(You have great lives.)
I'll write about pigs.
- Pigs? - Yes.
He's very emotional.
He can't stop thinking about the pigs.
The dogs reminded him of them.
Lunch.
(Thinking about Lunch and Morning.)
The boar...
(He thinks about the past three years he's known them.)
You two...
(What is the poem about?)
("Rooftop Pigs" by Kian84)
- Rooftop Pigs. - Rooftop Pigs?
It reminds me of Okdal.
You were cute like dogs three years ago.
You became boars in a split second.
(You became boars in a split second)
You've spent a lot of time together, but fight often.
And use separate rooms.
You're no different from human beings.
Is eating your biggest joy?
If it is, I am no different from you.
You're very philosophical.
I feel sympathy for you,
but contradict myself by eating pork.
(Chomping heartily)
(Sniffing)
(The end)
We can't eat pork belly because of you.
Why did you do that?
- Isn't that a good poem? - That looks delicious.
The poem is one of the best ever.
- I like writing poems. - It's deep.
Are you planning to publish a book of poems?
- I think he will. - No.
Let's go.
(He wraps up his poem.)
(The next poem is coming soon.)
Let's go.
(Biggie and Winter are excited.)
All right.
What's that?
Is this a teen drama?
I expect pigeons to fly in the back.
Rooftop pigs.
Yes, the rooftop pigs.
(Kian84 returns to his friend's office.)
They're so cute.
Did Biggie get tired?
He's in better shape than before.
Winter has a short temper.
He's like Si Eon.
- Si Eon? - He barks at people.
Don't get me wrong.
Why do you provoke me?
I'll come again.
- Bye. - Bye.
(Sad)
- Look at its face. - It must've enjoyed the walk.
- She's going out. - Na Rae.
(Biggie tries to follow Kian84 out.)
It's running away.
No, no.
Only Na Rae follows Kian84 out.
(Laughing)
Na Rae is the only one following him out.
Come on in.
- Bye. - Bye.
(He leaves with a sad heart.)
(He arrives at home, exhausted.)
I'm exhausted.
The whole day is gone.
You had a busy day.
You even went to the hospital.
Let's see.
Your house is much better than mine.
(This is the blanket he put in the machine earlier that day.)
(Sniffing at it)
Is it clean?
(He checks if it is clean by smelling it.)
There you go.
What do you use that night?
That night...
- It's a relief it's summer. - I think it was summer.
I think it was summer.
It was summer?
This was pretty recent.
You're right, it wasn't summer.
You still don't get social cues.
My goodness.
(He groans.)
- I'm tired. - You must be.
(He is dazed.)
He is dazed.
A studio room is perfect for Kian84.
It's comfortable.
It looks nice.
He rolls around.
You're the only one that needs to be satisfied.
Yes.
(Knocking)
Who is it?
- Open the door. - You're here.
(A friend visits him after hearing he moved.)
- Why do you live so high up? - You got here quickly.
- What's that? - Here.
It's a housewarming gift.
A gift?
- He carried that? - I don't have anywhere to put it.
I brought it because you don't have much space.
- It's nice. - I always lived on a high floor.
(Kim Hyun Soo, Kian84's friend for 18 years)
I moved to Suwon...
and all my friends are there.
You can call them whenever you want to.
I wish I could move to Busan.
I don't have anyone to call when I'm in Seoul.
You got me.
(You got me.)
You're always busy filming.
I have to wait.
Show me around...
- That's all. - Show me around...
Go ahead.
(Looking around)
I'm done looking around.
He was good at everything. He was athletic.
He led other friends. He was like an older brother.
He's like...
my wannabe.
I followed him.
(A cool friend for 18 years)
Look at Kian84's blond hair.
Did you wash your hair with beer?
Were you a bad student?
That's so yellow. That's 100 percent hydrogen peroxide.
Gosh. That boy.
How did you move to the same building from 15 years ago?
I know.
When I was 20 years old,
he went to College of Kinesiology.
It was pretty strict back then.
Yes.
They harassed him so much that he stopped going to school,
but he couldn't go home.
He had no place to go, so he stayed at my place.
- In that building? - Yes.
You're best friends.
Seoul actually isn't right for you.
Suwon is more appropriate for you.
I've gotten better when I moved back to Suwon from Seoul.
I feel healthier.
- Mentally? - I've lose weight.
Really?
(Knocking)
- It's here. - It's here.
One second please.
- Thank you. - The happiest sound.
(Chicken is here.)
(Great.)
We always ate on the floor.
We haven't change for 15 years.
- You have to go with your look. - We haven't changed.
I was told not to drink.
Doctor told you that?
But I think if you don't drink,
- you'll get worse. - What?
Those people tell you to drink soju for the cold.
You should never drink too much,
but you need to relieve your stress from time to time.
Goodness. Chicken is all you need.
Goodness.
(The descent of chicken and beer)
You eat sweet and sour.
- I'll take care of myself. - I'll eat the fried one.
- Goodness. - Goodness.
(I can't watch it.)
Everyone is busy ordering.
When we were 20,
we went to the HR center,
and you told me,
if I want to be picked,
- I shouldn't look weak. - Of course.
- You told me to stand like this... - Right.
- in a winter jacket. - Right.
When I was standing like this, the guy said,
"Get in that van."
- HR center. - Because...
- if I look weak, - They don't pick you.
- they won't pick me. - You want to look big.
When I think about that time,
- we can't imagine the present. - No.
Your cartoon reflects our early days.
I made Doochi based on him.
- Really? - Really?
- They look alike. - They look different.
Didn't you draw Doochi from watching Yoon Du Jun?
Yes. His...
- Life? - brain is inside that character.
It's his own cartoon.
(Doochi lives with him in the cartoon.)
Are those your experiences?
(His cartoon reflects his precious experiences.)
I was happy every day.
I didn't have money, but I was 20.
- I was happy to do anything. - Right.
Even if I was hungry,
we collected everything we had to order chicken and beer.
Even when we went to work together,
it was fun because we were together.
Even though it was hard, I was proud to do it together.
- Right. It was fun. - That was very fun.
- Right. - That became a motive.
Thanks.
You need...
a fresh change.
That's why your cartoon is boring lately.
What are you talking about?
- Friends are scarier. - He's giving advice.
You need that from your closest friend.
I only read it because I'm your friend. I read it for friendship.
Don't read.
I'm actually grateful.
It's actually depressing to go see the doctor...
because I have to talk about all the problems.
But after working out,
and having chicken and beer with a friend,
I was happy again.
I think that helps me get better.
- Right. - You couldn't even go home.
No. I told them I will finish school.
- Friend is the best. - Yes.
Friend is your medicine.
(Life in Suwon is happier because they're together.)
Let's move to the next one.
In order to prosper in the second half,
we need another star.
- Right. - It's Lee Si Eon.
- The great actor. - This is going to be great.
Hold on. I have to catch it.
- Your bellybutton? - I have to grab my bellybutton.
- In case you lose it. - No.
Seriously, it's just my life.
I wasn't trying to be funny.
- He always says that. - Those are the scariest words.
I mean it.
- You should go to the restroom. - No.
Here we go.
(Sean in Wonderland)
- Sean? - Sean?
Sean. My name is Sean.
(Si Eon is sitting like an island.)
Hold on.
Is his house getting smaller?
(His simple households...)
(grew bigger and bigger.)
(It's full.)
I lived in that house for five years.
- Goodness. - That's a capsule room.
What is that red thing behind you?
A treadmill.
- A treadmill? - To lose weight.
Do you cook often? Why...
or why not?
What are you doing?
- I'm studying. - What?
- You study English? - He's studying English.
Gosh. This is so hard.
(Packed)
- Talking about... - Cooking skill.
(Sighing)
(Why are you suddenly studying English?)
I need to speak English for my next piece.
What is that? Is that a hat?
Mr. Mousse Kim.
He reminds me of Mousse Kim.
(He looks like Mousse Kim.)
I need to speak English for my next piece,
so I decided to study English.
I've also been to the US.
I'm also dreaming of going to Hollywood.
- It's embarrassing. - Now I can go to the US...
alone like going to Busan.
Since I speak the language.
You make it sound like you were there for a year or something.
You only went there for two days.
Is that what you were talking about?
It's 2 nights and 4 days to be exact.
That 2 nights and 4 days felt like 2 years to me.
The US culture and air were right for me.
- That's crazy. - I'm planning to...
expand my career to the US.
I also have a reliable boss, Daniel.
You said he's not picking up.
(You said he's not picking up.)
I thought he hasn't picked up for two months now.
He'd pick up if I call him in the US...
because it's an international call. It's expensive.
- Yes. - That's why he doesn't answer.
So I'm planning to go up to the US.
- Go up? - Isn't it?
That means you're going to Seoul.
(Going to Seoul from other regions)
Learn Korean first before learning English.
How can you not know that in that age?
- Did you know? - I didn't know.
(I didn't know.)
(Proud)
You didn't know either, Dhalsim.
- What are you talking about? - She knew.
That meant Keijyo.
(That meant Keijyo.)
- Keijyo? - Seoul.
It's not Keijyo. It's Seoul.
- That's the old name. - Yes.
Really? I had no idea.
You didn't know either, did you?
I didn't know until now.
(Like older brother, like younger brother.)
I can't cook well.
- What are you doing? - He's making a paragraph.
I go to English school. They gave me homework.
What's delicious in English?
Delicious.
I like...
delicious thing.
(Thinking)
Since Chang Min was here...
Yes. That stimulated him.
(With an appearance of a cartoon character,)
(Chang Min focused on studying Japanese.)
But they look completely different.
(But they look completely different.)
What? Don't look at the appearance.
(Same studying, different vibe)
It's really difficult.
I want to learn how to cook from the king of cooking, Park Na Rae.
- King of cooking. - Cook king?
- Cook king. - Cook king?
- Why does it say cook king? - King of cooking.
Na...
How do I write Na Rae in English? Na Rae.
- What's cook king? - Na Rae?
Cook king Na Rae. The king of cooking.
You're confusing me.
- Rae. - Rae.
I can't do this.
(With a scream,)
(he's out.)
People think I'm an idiot for real.
- It's true. - No.
I'm actually not an idiot.
(I'm actually not an idiot.)
(He doesn't know the difference between India and Indonesia.)
(He doesn't know Japan is part of Asia.)
(Beef means pork belly?)
(He doesn't know beef is cow.)
I'm actually not an idiot.
(You are an idiot.)
Gosh.
(The first step to differentiate cow and pig.)
I can't do it. Translator.
(He uses the translator again.)
Genius Lee Si Eon.
- What are you doing? - Genius Lee Si Eon.
- He's weird. - It's funny.
Ishikawa genius?
What?
Ishikawa genius.
(Laughing)
Genius Lee Si Eon.
It will be fun to do it alone.
- Genius Lee Si Eon. - What's wrong with him?
You should be working on your homework.
It was funny.
This is amazing.
Fool Jun Hyun Moo.
(Acting like a fool)
What are you doing?
(Yeong Gu isn't here.)
He is a fool.
Fool Jun Hyun Moo.
You should have done one with my name.
(He loves it.)
You really like Hyun Moo.
- Seriously. - Everything leads up to Hyun Moo.
I can't cook at a professional level,
but I like delicious things.
And I want to...
What is it?
(He stops reading the English passage.)
- That's so sudden. - He has ADHD!
You are in no position to talk about Kian84's lack of concentration.
- It's not a serious problem. - I got goosebumps.
- Why? - Why are you drawing?
You should get a concentration test.
He is paying attention.
While I have a short attention span, it's not a serious problem.
(He refuses to believe that he has ADHD.)
There is a pop song class.
I should take a pop song class.
(He wants to take classes.)
Dancesport.
- What is that? - What is that?
The academy offers different programs.
- What kind of an academy is it? - It teaches English and dancesport.
You will see.
I am a boy. You are a girl.
Gosh, this is hard.
(His attention span ends.)
- There are so many bags. - He is easily distracted.
You shouldn't worry unless you are at this level.
You shouldn't hold onto the things you don't use.
Kian84, you have been cured.
(Relieved)
(Busy)
Does it have two arms?
- He is building a plastic model. - I can't believe him.
You have ADHD.
Isn't the robot really cool?
Gosh, it's tiring to look at a notebook.
- He keeps yawning. - He yawns more often than Kian84.
I studied hard.
(Focused)
- Why do you keep drawing? - I like to draw.
You are just like Kian84 when you draw.
I like to draw.
(Is he done already?)
I will work hard when I am there.
(He is optimistic.)
When you live with that mindset, you won't have any worries.
I have worries about you.
(Where did Si Eon go to?)
- That's my academy. - Community Service Center?
- That's right. - Community Service Center.
It rained a lot that day.
- It must offer an English program. - Yes.
(Will you learn English at the Community Service Center?)
The Community Service Center is my academy.
Sangdo-dong Academy.
I used to go to the District Office often...
to have a civil defense training...
and to take out my trash.
You go there to get a copy of the register.
That's how I learned about...
the programs that are offered by the Community Service Center.
There are so many programs.
Since I am in a drama,
I might not be able to attend the classes regularly.
That's why I want to make a decision...
after attending a class first.
Apparently, you are allowed to audit the class.
(He visited to audit the class.)
So I visited the Community Service Center.
If you sign up for classes in a rush,
you end up not going about halfway through.
They are...
- my classmates. - They are elders.
They are a lot older than you.
(His classmates are a lot older than him.)
- Hello. - Hello.
You can answer when I talk to you in English, right?
- You speak English well. - No, I don't.
I guess you haven't seen me speak English.
"Don't speak English." Have you seen it?
(Laughing)
Don't speak English.
- "Don't speak." - What should I have said?
- "I can't speak English." - "I can't speak English."
Welcome. Welcome.
(Students pour in.)
Si Eon is the youngest student.
It's a lovely sight.
You are never too old to learn.
I respect them.
- I should live diligently. - I know.
(What was the first impression of your classmates?)
I thought everyone was a teacher.
I realized that people who take this class...
are older than I expected.
I went to academies when I was young.
It felt similar.
At an academy, you feel awkward.
- You feel excited. - That's right.
"Will I be able to do well?"
- "How good are they?" - It's cool.
It was great.
Today, we have a newcomer.
As you see, he is a very young and handsome guy.
The class is conducted in English.
Would you like to introduce yourself?
Okay.
Hi.
It looks like you are being rude.
Hi, my name is Lee Si Eon.
What is your English name?
- Sean. - Sean.
What's the spelling?
- They are cool. - Sean?
He doesn't know.
People often spell it this way.
- You can write it like this. - We gave him that name.
Min Sik?
(Park Na Rae became Min Sik.)
That's who I am!
(Laughing)
- It's a good memory. - I haven't seen that in a while.
(Your English name should be Eighty Four.)
(Kian84 became Eighty Four.)
(Do you want to be Tall or Long?)
It became Tall Long, right?
Tall Long.
(Hye Jin became Tall Long.)
(The great actor, Lee Si Eon's English name)
(Lee Si Eon became Sean.)
I gave him that name.
Since your real name is Bo Yeon, it should be Byun.
- I hate Dhalshim. - Byun.
I am 37.
Really?
37?
- 37. - 37.
37.
(Smiling)
I am an actor.
(Oh, an actor.)
I like toys.
Toys.
- Miniature toys? - Robots and miniature toys.
Your classmates and the atmosphere are nice.
It can cost you much money.
Gundam.
I buy cheap ones.
- Speak English. - I understood her.
- Not expensive. - I see.
He is good at understanding English.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Welcome.
(Sean's self-introduction ends with cheers.)
(They move on to the lesson.)
Can you tell me what "Cuisine" means?
- Cuisine? - Cuisine?
Cuisine?
(Dazed)
- Do you know what it means? - Isn't it a restaurant?
Na Rae knows the gist of it.
She must have seen the word on the menu.
- Kian84. - I still don't know what it means.
(This idiot doesn't know although he attended the class.)
Cuisine.
I have seen it in "Top-priority English Words".
- "Top-priority English Words"! - I haven't heard of it in a while.
- "Top-priority English Words"! - I have seen it.
It's not an easy word.
(Confident)
I still don't know what it means.
What does it mean? You know, right?
- Me? - Yes.
(She suddenly becomes polite.)
You speak English well.
It looks like she doesn't know.
- It looks like she doesn't know. - That's not true.
(She is close to having a runny nose.)
- Your face turned red. - Did my face turn red?
- She doesn't know. - You are laughing too hard.
She doesn't know.
You spoke English fluently in the U.S.
Maybe everything she said in the U.S. were wrong.
- Don't say that. - Maybe she spoke random words...
- without knowing their meanings. - That's plausible.
- What does "Cuisine" mean? - Doesn't it mean "Dishes"?
- Am I wrong? - It means "Dishes".
Why were you so careful about it?
- I asked because you know. - I thought I was wrong.
- It means "Dishes". - I was startled.
- "Dishes". - It comes from a French word.
(She barely avoids getting a runny nose.)
- Recipe. - Recipe.
Recipe is the method of making food.
- Yes. Yes. Good. - Cuisine is general food.
General food.
How are they so good?
They mean two things.
You mean that "Cuisine" and "Recipe" have the same meaning?
- No, no. - Recipe.
I don't know what you mean by "Cuisine".
It can mean a method of cooking.
(Nervous)
He is a fool.
Seriously,
- I felt like I was imposing. - You know,
the level they are at...
"Hello."
"This is how old I am."
"This is what I do for a living." They are beyond that point.
- They are having a discussion. - It wasn't a class for me.
It's not an average English class you get in the neighborhood.
When you go to an English academy,
you need to be lucky with your seat.
If the one next to you is too good, you can't say a word.
- You become intimidated. - You become intimidated.
People on my left and right...
- were really good. - You shouldn't have sat there.
Another way to express...
- It's a classic. - It's a sophisticated word.
- Yes, yes. - Right?
(I will go easy on my classmates.)
(I studied abroad in the U.S.)
My goodness.
I don't know why...
(So far, he hasn't made any contributions.)
He is in a daze.
You should have talked about going to the U.S.
There are so many...
cooking programs on TV...
- nowadays. - They are incredible.
Sometimes, I am...
You should talk, Si Eon.
He can't talk in that situation.
Every time I see one,
it feels very strange to me.
His expression speaks, "Who am I? Where am I?"
These days, many young people live alone.
So nobody cooks for them.
So they kind of get comfort...
- from cooking shows. - Oh, my.
That's an advanced class.
(He opens his eyes wide.)
(He seems to have something to say.)
- But it's... - Say something.
- But it's... - I can't...
(Yawning)
(He yawned instead of speaking.)
(Teary eyes)
(At that moment,)
(the elderly man next to him starts talking.)
If you go to a supermarket,
you can get all kinds of recipes.
They have all kinds of ready-to-eat food.
Oh, that's what he meant.
(Everyone is impressed.)
(Oh, that's what he meant.)
(Fascinated)
The other people in the class...
understood what he said and laugh.
You're the only one who is not laughing.
I didn't understand what he said.
(How can I laugh when I can't understand what he says?)
How about you, Sean?
Do you cook for yourself?
She asked Si Eon a question. "How about you, Sean?"
Do you cook at home?
(He translates for him too.)
(Si Eon hesitates for a while.)
Ramyeon.
(He shyly said, "Ramyeon.")
- He just said one word. - "Ramyeon."
(The man who cooks ramyeon)
Is this ramyeon or...
I thought I should say something.
I thought it was a beginner's class.
You saw how the elderly man next to me spoke English, right?
- He's amazing. - He's fabulous.
- Wasn't his English good? - His English is very good.
- I think he's better than Hyun Moo. - That's right.
- Really? - He speaks English so fluently.
But Hyun Moo pauses sometimes.
He's right. I think of sentences in my head.
She wanted to... Lucy.
(The reading class begins.)
"Felix was content to do..."
They read a novel and explain the story in Korean.
- Is it written in English? - Yes, it is.
What kind of novel is it?
Do you think he knows that?
- He can't even read it. - A children's novel? I don't know.
(Was it a children's novel?)
(Si Eon looks at the book,)
(but they all just look like alien letters to him.)
(He becomes dazed.)
(The words are floating in his brain without being understood.)
(As the classroom is being filled with English words,)
(his mind goes blank.)
Gosh. He looks at his phone.
How many times did you yawn?
That makes me yawn too.
I felt like I was in a foreign country.
(I felt like I was in a foreign country.)
(It's as if he were at a good place to meditate in a foreign country.)
Breathe in deeply.
And then breathe out.
What was that?
Exactly.
- I feel sleepy. - Keep your eyes open or closed.
It's up to you.
The letters doesn't mean anything to him.
"Why isn't there any image in this book?"
That's right. It's like a meditation for him.
He keeps yawning.
(His eyes get heavy.)
That's unbelievable.
- My goodness. - What's that?
(The reading class felt like a quiet dream.)
Let's divide into groups.
(It's time for the group discussion.)
- A group discussion? - They do that too?
This is the same as English literature classes at college.
- Really? - My classes were just like this.
We read a novel written in English and had a group discussion about it.
And then each group gave a presentation.
- You spoke in English, right? - Yes.
During the class,
- I felt like a nuisance. - You weren't.
(You weren't a nuisance.)
(He sits down carefully.)
- Please come and sit here. - Then please sit here.
- I enjoyed the episode in the US. - You did? Thank you.
- You met Adam Rodriguez too. - Yes, I did.
- She watched the episode. - I met him.
- We... - Ask him for his autograph.
Each of us will read what we wrote.
We just talk about a given topic.
Can I get your autograph?
This is our only chance.
I asked him first.
(He shows off his popularity at the community center.)
I want to get his autograph too.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
- You should say, "You're welcome." - His English name is Sean, right?
(It's total chaos.)
His handwriting looks nice.
- It's nice. - It is indeed.
Would you introduce yourself one more time?
- He's good at listening. - My name is Lee Si Eon.
Lee Si Eon...
is my stage name.
What did he say?
- What's your real name? - Lee Bo Yeon.
- Lee Bo Yeon? - Lee Bo Yeon.
Lee Bo Yeon sounds more...
Why did you change your name?
(It's a hard question.)
That's a hard one.
Debut...
(When I played in my debut film...)
- The director changed my name. - The director?
(He explained the reason with only four words.)
The director wanted you to change your name?
Why did he want you to change your name?
Lee Bo Yeon...
- It sounds like a girl's name? - It's not very...
- Okay, okay. - It sounds like a girl's name.
(His group members understand what he says.)
That's amazing.
- My name is Rose. - Rose?
- Rose. - Rose, like a flower.
Because her name is Jang Mi Hye...
(Her name sounds similar to "rose" in Korean.)
My Korean name is Sang Bok.
His name is Sang Bok.
- Do you have an English name? - What's your English name.
No, I don't have an English name.
- Sang Bok has such a friendly face. - Sang Bok.
- Sang Bok.
(I got it.)
You look like you're collecting lodge money.
- It looks nice. - My name is Suzy.
- Suzy. - Suzy.
- My friend Suzy. - Suzy.
Are you named after Singer Suzy?
No, not her.
It's actually my daughter's name.
- She means... - My daughter's name is Soo Ji.
It's meaningful.
That's nice.
Hello. It's nice to meet you.
My name is Lily.
Lily, like a flower.
- Lily. - Yes.
Hello. My name is Kate.
- Kate. - Kate.
- Like Kate Winslet.
- Do you like... - My name is Michael.
- Michael. - Michael.
- He's Michael. - That name suits you.
I think it suits you.
- Michael. - They're all my classmates.
- My friends. - Your friends.
(Sangdo-dong Friends)
(Courtesy of Sangdo-dong Community Center)
(Episode 1: "The First Encounter")
Do you live in Sangdo-dong?
Yes, yes.
He can understand English well.
How long have you been living here?
- How long... - For five years.
- For 5 years? - For 5 years.
He understands English well.
- How did you... - I said it in English again.
I like Sangdo-dong.
He sounds like a foreigner speaking Korean.
"I like Sangdo-dong."
- Why did you speak like that? - I sounded like a foreigner.
He spoke Korean as if he was speaking English.
"I like Sangdo-dong."
- Kian84... - Are you, Kian84, and Henry...
- close friends? - In real life?
(He didn't understand what she said.)
- Are you close to them? - Are you...
- Yes. - In real life?
Yes.
Henry is very busy.
- I see. - He's very busy.
Kian84 is not busy.
(Laughing)
I'm busy too.
- What was that? - I'm busy.
- "Not busy"? - "Not busy".
What does that even mean?
I meant you're less busy than Henry.
- Kian84 always... - I see. So do you guys...
Kian84 and I...
are close friends.
- He and Kian84 are close friends. - He and Kian84 are close friends.
- What did you prepare? - I'm just kidding.
- Did you write a script about food? - Yes, I did.
Please read it to us.
- That's what I wrote that morning. - This is so fun.
- He'll give a presentation. - Read it out loud first.
Actually, I used an online translator.
(Embarrassed)
- We can understand what you mean. - We can.
- The English words? - We can understand what you say.
I can cook at a professional level.
Really?
- "At a professional level"? - Ramyeon?
(He said he was confident in cooking ramyeon.)
(I wonder how well he cooks ramyeon.)
- "At a professional level"? - Ramyeon?
Wait. No, no.
- "I can't..." - I see.
(He corrects his mistake.)
- Yes. - I was surprised.
But...
I like delicious things.
"And..."
- "Cook King Na Rae." - "Cook King"?
- The queen of cooking? - "Learn cook..."
(Cooking Queen Na Rae, learn, cook)
You learned from her?
- From Na Rae? - Yes.
(They understand what he says even though his English is terrible.)
Is "Cook King" a wrong expression?
"Even though his English is terrible".
That's mean.
- It should be "Queen". - "Queen".
- "She's the cooking queen." - "She's a good cook."
Addressing her as a king sounds natural too.
- What are you talking about? - That startled me.
- That's Min Sik. - Min Sik.
That's Min Sik.
- "Cooking Queen". - That's right.
"I learned to cook not really cooking..."
- What does that mean? - "Kian84..."
"I want to foot."
(Did he say, "I want to foot"?)
(He got all these sentences from an online translator.)
(However, he said "foot" instead of "feed".)
Can you say that in Korean?
It means I want to cook something delicious to feed you.
Did he say "foot"?
- You wrote "foot". - Really?
What you wrote means...
that you want to put your foot in Kian84.
You want to kick him.
Does it mean you want food?
No. I wanted to say...
that I want to learn to cook,
so I can feed Kian84 who can't cook.
- I see. You want to cook for him. - In the future,
you can cook for your wife.
He must be close friends with Kian84.
- You can cook for your wife too. - Later.
I want to cook for you because you can't cook.
Thank you for your consideration.
Kian84 is really bad at cooking.
Cook stupid.
- Stupid? - Cook stupid.
- A bad cook. - Why did you say that?
- My gosh. - He means "a bad cook".
I saw him making a big dumpling on TV.
That was terrible.
(That was terrible.)
(The scene of the terrible incident)
- "That was terrible." - "That was terrible."
She said it was terrible.
That's the perfect word to describe it.
Garbage.
- "Garbage"? - That's right.
He said "garbage" in Korean as if it's an English word.
- "Garbage"? - He made a huge dumpling.
- The housewarming party. - Do you live with your family?
No, I live alone.
- He's from Busan. - Busan is my hometown.
Busan is my hometown.
I picked up an accent as I learned English in Busan.
- Really? - Busan...
You mean the accent that people in Busan have?
- They have an accent... - That's right.
- like Busan dialect. - He's from Jeolla Province.
(He's from Jeolla Province.)
I'm from Gwangju.
- Gwangju. - Seoul.
- He speaks in Gwangju dialect. - You see...
Since he uses his Korean name,
I can't talk to him.
It feels inappropriate to say, "Hey, Sang Bok."
- Sang Bok wears a funeral attire. - You can call him Mr. Lee.
(Sang Bok wears a funeral attire.)
(Suzy made a pun.)
(It was unexpected.)
Suzy made a dad joke.
Suzy is very cute.
Since "Bok" means "good luck", how about Lucky?
- Lucky? - Lucky.
- Okay. I'm Lucky. - Lucky.
Lucky.
Sang Bok left a strong impression on me.
He smiles kindly, but speaks English with Jeolla Province accent.
That's right.
How does it sound when you speak English with Jeolla Province accent?
"I have..."
- Like this. - Say, "I'm a boy. You're a girl."
- With Busan accent? - Yes.
- "I am a boy. You are a girl." - Say it.
"I am a boy. You are a girl."
"You are a girl."
- "You are a girl." - Sang Bok smiles while speaking.
- "I am a boy." - "You are a girl."
I see what you mean now.
We can't help picking up the accent while learning English...
because the teachers have an accent.
"I have money."
Sang Bok speaks like this.
I didn't know that.
- May I ask... - Okay.
Can you join...
I cannot cook.
Cook.
- Just like him. - We're the same.
- Right.
My wife cooks usually.
My...
My wife cooks most of the time.
(My wife cooks most of the time.)
My wife and...
- my side dishes... - He explained in Korean.
at a supermarket.
(Laughing)
- At a supermarket. - Side dishes.
We bought them at a supermarket.
I can find...
a recipe...
with a single internet search.
(When the others start to wonder what he's trying to say...)
It means I usually search recipes on the internet.
(He considers the others' reactions.)
He explains when the others don't seem to understand what he says.
(Sang Bok is so kind.)
"I eat ramyeon."
Just like you do.
"I eat noodles about once a week."
- He eats noodles... - Noodles.
- once a week. - Ramyeon...
- She... - I like party noodles.
- "Party noodles"? - I like party noodles.
- What's party noodles? - "Party noodles"?
- What is party noodle? - Janchi guksu.
My goodness.
- Seriously. - It makes sense.
Army soup is budae jjigae.
- Party noodle is janchi guksu. - Janchi guksu.
"Party noodle".
- Janchi guksu. - I see.
(He has a good sense of humor.)
I see. Janchi guksu.
- I like party noodle. - Janchi as in "party" in English.
I love partying.
Sang Bok likes your jokes.
How did you make up your mind when you were young?
What made you decide to become an actor?
She's like a simultaneous interpreter.
- Dream. - "Dream"?
- Like a summit meeting. - It was your dream?
You can't make long sentences.
Yes, it was.
Acting is very hard.
Hard.
- It's hard to make ends meet? - I see.
I'm impressed. He's so creative.
- "Hard." - It's a kind of advice.
Everyone in the class wants to say something to you.
We hope you can come next time if you're not busy.
If you keep coming to the class, your English will improve a lot.
You want to become a worldwide star.
- You need this to go to Hollywood. - You should give...
an award acceptance speech in English in Hollywood.
Let's say you won an award at the Academy Awards.
What would you say in your acceptance speech?
Give it a try. You have to overcome it to improve your English.
- I don't know any expressions. - Just try it.
- Come on. - Give it a try.
- Stand up. - You can do this.
"Lee Si Eon!"
Thank you. Thank you.
(Everyone is excited.)
I'm so happy.
That would be enough.
My goodness. I'm so happy. Thank you very much.
(Wailing)
Hyun Moo, Dhalsim, Na Rae...
(Hyun Moo, Dhalsim, Na Rae...)
- And Min Sik. - Min Sik.
I love you. That's all.
- All right. - All he did was cry.
He made his speech longer by calling our names.
- You're almost done, right? - Yes.
It was nice meeting you, smart guy Si Eon.
It was a pleasure.
(How was having a conversation in English?)
I talked to my group members for about 30 minutes.
And we became quite close.
I feel closer to Michael, Suzy, and the other members...
than I feel about Hyun Moo.
Good job, everyone. We'll finish here for today.
Don't forget to gather up at the restaurant for lunch.
- Okay? - Okay.
They always eat together after the class.
I ate alone here a few days ago.
- Here? - Did you?
- Alone? - I ate alone here.
We can do that later.
Yes. Please collect the money here.
- They all pitch in like Americans. - I see.
- They split the bill? - That's right.
It's American culture.
He's taken aback because he should pitch in.
I wasn't.
Of course I should pitch in. Everyone else pitched in.
(Delicious looking soy bean paste sauce)
(Spicy stir-fried pork)
(And bubbling soy bean paste stew)
Thank you for the food. Please enjoy, everyone.
It looks delicious.
Michael is having a drink there.
(Michael is having a drink.)
(What did you learn today?)
I learned about life.
I didn't understand what they said.
It was so difficult for me.
They said if I keep practicing without feeling pressured,
I can improve my English eventually.
Learning is life.
My goodness.
What am I talking about?
Learning is life.
You have to keep learning new things.
He's obsessed to make a good quote.
To Si Eon.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- I wish you success. - Thank you.
I wish you success.
