This doesn't work.
It looks like your dad blocked the card.
To be honest,
I can pay you for all the help I've gotten from you.
But I can't hire you.
I really can't afford it.
Why did you have to pack up and leave the house?
I don't even know anymore.
Can I go to a housewarming party empty-handed?
Can you give me one of those instead of paying me?
Whose housewarming party are you going to?
A senior in my department.
It's not brand new,
but it was bought recently.
- What? Are you lending it to me? - No.
It's a gift.
- Isn't it good? - Yes.
We'll do it. You should have some too.
It's okay. I'll do it. Don't worry about me and eat up.
How manly.
Thank you for the food, Woo Young.
- I'll do it. - Don't worry. It's okay.
Give me that.
Look at this.
He even cut the meat into bite-sized pieces. How thoughtful.
Yes.
Are you making japchae or what?
I'll just do it.
You should eat. Eat up.
I'll hold on to the TV for now. Take it back whenever you need it.
It's too much as a gift.
Woo Young, do you not watch TV?
I can watch shows on my phone. I don't want to pay the license fee.
Me neither. But Hyun Jung keeps saying we should get a TV.
What?
Mi Rae is thrifty to the point that it's annoying.
Even when we're buying daily necessities,
she has to buy them online at the cheapest prices.
I'm the same way. I only buy things on hot deals.
Me too. There's a flash sale tomorrow morning.
The weekly special sale is cheaper.
Well, bulk deals are way cheaper.
A bundle of 2L-bottled waters is only 1.5 dollars.
Are you serious?
Then let's place orders together to go over 30 dollars
when we don't have much to buy.
Great idea. Then shipping will be free.
You two are so excited.
Oh, if you want to watch a movie,
do it on the last Wednesday of each month. You'll get 50 percent off.
You're so impressive.
It's nothing to be impressed with. I'm broke, so I have to be frugal.
I go for buy-1-get-1-free deals at convenience stores.
When you buy one, you can get another one for free.
What a downer.
Isn't that a guitar?
Can you play the guitar?
A little. It's just my hobby.
- Show us. - Yes, please.
I'm not good enough.
- Show us. - Show us.
- Show us. Show us. - Show us. Show us.
I'll show you another time. I really mean it.
Show us, please.
(Episode 8: Basic Instinct)
That was great.
Just leave it. I'll wash the dishes later.
It's okay. I can finish this quickly.
I'll do it.
- Shall we take the garbage out? - Yes.
Kyung Seok is very different from what I thought he'd be like.
He gets along with people well.
Why? Was he quite prickly back in middle school?
I wouldn't say he was "prickly" per se. How should I put it?
Shall I say he was unapproachable?
I can't believe a guy like that remembered Mi Rae.
I was so surprised.
I get that he hates his mom, but she's hospitalized.
He could visit her at least once.
Why did he come here instead?
You still haven't opened that yet?
I'll do it.
Let's meet up often since we're neighbors now.
How about watching a movie on the last Wednesday of every month?
- I'd love that. - Me too.
Mi Rae.
We need to watch a movie as well.
It's our assignment for Studies on Pop Culture.
Oh, right.
Let's watch a movie together.
It's just an assignment, so it'd be weird to turn him down.
Sure.
You need to watch a movie and write a report on it, don't you?
Write the report as long as you can.
The professor might act like he doesn't care about the length,
but he still gives long reports good grades.
Thank you.
I knew that.
I already heard.
Does he want to watch the movie with just me...
or with other friends?
See you.
Do you want to meet up after school tomorrow?
Okay, sure.
My class finishes at 4pm.
My last class is at...
Aren't you done by 5pm?
Yes, my class finishes at 5pm.
Then I'll wait.
Okay.
What? Is it going to be just the two of us?
Where do you guys live?
We live up there.
See you.
Bye.
They live really nearby.
I'm so happy for you, Mi Rae.
It's your first time watching a movie with a guy.
On top of that, it's with a really handsome guy.
We're just doing our assignment.
Do you think...
Kyung Seok likes you?
What do you think about him?
Are you not interested?
Fine, I'm interested in him. Okay?
How about we just call today our first day of dating?
My gosh, you touched your feet with those hands.
Stop it.
- My gosh. - Move.
Hey, hurry up and wash up.
Stop touching me with your feet. Stop it.
Go and wash up.
I'll wash first.
Let meet at Sinchon Cinetown...
at 6pm.
What?
This really feels like a date.
I think my business is failing.
How about you skip class tomorrow and go to the beach with me?
I have plans to watch a movie.
A movie? With who?
I need to do my assignment for Studies on Pop Culture.
You must have money to buy movie tickets.
- No, I don't. - What?
I don't have money. Lend me some.
My gosh, how did you end up penniless?
Here.
Lend me 50 dollars.
What are you talking about?
I also need money for popcorn and dinner.
Popcorn, my foot.
Be honest with me. You're going on a date, aren't you?
- It's just an assignment. - Sure, it is.
Hey, stop it.
(My first time watching a movie with a guy.)
(It's a date.)
It's not a date.
It's just an assignment.
(It's a date.)
It's just an assignment.
Let's see how this looks.
Hey, I...
I need to go to the bookstore.
I forgot to buy some reference books.
Should I go with you?
No. No, it's okay.
You... You need to get to class.
You should go first.
Okay, I'll see you later.
Okay.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Will you be home late since you're watching a movie with Kyung Seok?
I'm going to go home as soon as the movie ends.
What?
Were you also planning to do some other stuff?
Gosh, just go.
Mi Rae, you can come home late.
Just go. We're only going to watch a movie.
Are you looking for something?
I'm looking for pink lipstick.
The lipsticks are placed over here.
And you know there are so many different kinds of pink, right?
There's salmon pink, coral pink,
rose pink, magenta pink, and cherry pink.
Coral pink comes with both pearls and no pearls.
I see.
Gosh, you look like a peach.
- Pardon? - Don't you know your fruit?
Joy from Red Velvet looks like an apple,
and Sulli looks like a peach.
You also look like a peach.
Really?
But you must not have a lot of experience putting on makeup.
You have a warm undertone,
but your makeup is for people who have cool undertones.
I see.
Just wait here. I'll fix your makeup for you.
Okay, thank you.
Girls start wearing makeup as soon as they enter middle school,
and that's when they also start perming their bangs.
But I had never done any of that.
What's this brand?
Look at the case. It's so pretty.
I was scared that others would make fun of my looks...
even after I wore makeup and permed my hair.
Gosh, you look so pretty.
Let's finish up by putting some lip gloss on you.
Gosh, you look so pretty and cute. Have a look in the mirror.
Look in the mirror and smile.
How pretty. You really look like a peach.
You're so pretty.
The cotton pads are 10 dollars.
The cotton pads are 10 dollars?
They're quite pricey, aren't they?
But if you buy over a certain amount,
you'll be getting a travel kit for free.
This actually costs over 30 dollars,
so you'll be saving 15 dollars if you buy all this.
Why did I buy this?
How many perfumes do I need to sell?
- Hey. - Yes?
Can you not tell anyone about what you saw that day?
What did I see?
We had an afterparty on the day of the festival.
Tae Young and I are slowly getting to know each other.
So please keep it a secret for now.
What exactly are you talking about?
The fact that I'm dating Tae Young.
You're dating Tae Young?
Be quiet.
Really? Are you serious?
You... Do you not remember?
I cannot believe this.
Hey, it's a secret. Don't tell anyone.
How did that happen?
You make me look forward to it
- When you walked me home - Walked me home
Give me
- A warm embrace - A warm embrace
You make my heart flutter
I'm not drunk at all.
Okay. So what is this about?
I've never done this in my entire life.
Don't laugh at me after hearing me out.
Don't laugh.
I like you.
- I told you not to laugh at me. - I didn't laugh at you.
Yes, you did. You laughed.
- I didn't mean it like that. - My gosh.
That's not it.
You fool.
What are you two doing?
Hey, I can't see.
Ye Na.
Well...
- You can't tell anyone, okay? - I got it.
You saw everything.
Come on, hurry up.
- Did you get everything? - Yes.
- Soo A. - Hello.
Hey, come in already.
You're the best, Hyun Soo A.
Soo A. Don't get a boyfriend.
I mean it.
I'm begging you, okay?
Hey, let's go.
Pretty ones have to be everyone's, okay?
Bye.
- Hello. - Hi.
You got home safely that night, right?
Sorry? That night? Yes.
You got home safely too, right?
I was so busy trying to take care of the drunk students that night.
I didn't get to see you off.
Being the student president is hard, isn't it?
It's not that hard.
If there's anything I can help you with, please tell me anytime.
Okay.
Call me when you want to grab a drink too.
What?
I'm a huge fan of yours.
Okay.
I see.
Is she sick or something?
No, she's just hungover.
She drank with her friends from her hometown over the weekend.
I'm about to die. They'd better not come visit me again.
Did a lot of your friends come?
Hey, she said six guy friends came to visit her.
You have a lot of guy friends.
I only have guy friends.
But I don't have a boyfriend.
Is there anyone you like?
I like all of them, but I don't want to date them.
If I want to date them, I can't stay friends with them.
Help me up, please?
By the way, you look nice today.
What do you mean?
Why didn't you come to the afterparty, by the way?
You said you'd come even if it was late.
Something came up that night.
I understand then.
Let's go.
("Making 500,000 Dollars with 50 Dollars")
Are you already preparing for the finals?
No, I just needed to read up on something.
You left the afterparty early without saying bye.
Must I say goodbye?
I just had to do something.
(Kang Mi Rae)
Like what?
Something I had to do.
I thought you and I had become friends.
Kyung Seok, do you want to go watch a movie with me?
Let's do the assignment for the Studies on Pop Culture.
I'm already watching a movie with someone else.
- Who is it? - Kang Mi Rae.
I see.
Right now, I'm on my way to meet a guy friend.
Mi Rae.
What are you doing there?
I didn't see you there.
Which movie do you want to watch?
- I bought the tickets. - You did?
Good job, buddy.
How much do I owe you?
That's fine.
How can I help you?
- One original combo, please. - That'd be 8 dollars and 50 cents.
Hey, why are you paying for everything?
That's fine.
It's not fine.
It's 13 dollars and 25 cents.
I'll give you 25 cents later.
I said, it's fine.
Quit saying that.
Take it. Friends usually go Dutch.
Is it too early to go in yet?
We have some time left.
Oh, right. Don't we have to attach the movie ticket on our report?
Do we have to?
Probably?
- Should I split it in half? - You'll split it?
Then how about one of us submits a photo of it?
I'll take a photo, then.
Mi Rae.
Let's get a good mark on the assignment.
We can do it.
Oh, Soo A.
What are you doing here?
I came to drop off the pickles I made.
I told you I can take care of myself.
Gosh, don't walk so fast.
The apartment in Dogok-dong...
Was it all a lie?
Don't move.
I said, don't move. Try to stay still.
What is the message the director wants to impart through the movie?
Which elements excite the viewers and can make this movie a hit?
I should pick the most memorable scene.
Which scene would I want to watch again...
Why do I...
keep wanting to look at him?
It must be an instinct.
A basic instinct.
Our eyes are always drawn to pretty things.
It doesn't mean we have an affection for them.
We just can't help but stare at them.
Instinctually, that is.
You don't want any popcorn?
Oh, right.
In most romantic movies, this is when...
This is usually how the plot unfolds.
You're not going to have any?
I'm going to eat some.
This trick allows you to prevent such an incident.
What are you doing?
What? You told me to eat popcorn.
I'm eating it now.
It was such a fun movie.
There will be a lot to write about.
I know.
Is it now time to part ways?
Aren't you hungry?
What?
Do you like pasta?
Pasta?
Isn't that what people usually eat on a date?
We can have something else if you want.
It's okay.
I like everything. I'm an omnivore.
All right, then. Let's go.
This restaurant is so nice.
Have you been here before?
No, I found it online.
He looked up restaurants online?
To take me?
(I currently have 37 dollars left.)
(2 of the most expensive pasta will come to 28 dollars in total.)
(2 of the most expensive beverage will come to 12 dollars in total.)
(The grand total will be 40 dollars.)
I'll get aglio e olio pasta.
(Aglio e olio: 11 dollars)
(2 servings of aglio e olio equal 22 dollars.)
(The grand total will be 34 dollars.)
Excuse me.
Yes, what would you like to order?
We'll each get aglio e olio pasta and...
What do you want to drink?
I'll just stick with water.
Get something else. I'll get the lemon-flavored soda.
Then I'll get the same.
We'll get two of it, then.
Sure, no problem.
(2 glasses of soda will be 8 dollars in total,)
(so the grand total will be 30 dollars.)
Did you take a lot of notes earlier?
What?
You took notes while watching the movie.
Show me what you wrote.
You have to write about what you thought about the movie.
You shouldn't be influenced by my opinion.
I never said I'd copy what you wrote. I'm just curious.
What's there to be curious about? I just wrote down obvious things.
Your handwriting.
I want to see what it looks like.
But why?
I'm just curious.
Do I have to have a reason?
Excuse me for a moment. I have to use the restroom.
Is it possible?
To think of a guy like that just as a friend.
Can someone like me really do that?
Isn't that guy so handsome?
Totally. Oh, my.
His girlfriend must be super pretty.
- He's really good-looking. - He's unbelievably handsome.
I know, right?
Why didn't you eat?
Because you weren't here yet.
Hey,
when's your birthday?
We're friends, but I don't know your birthday.
You want to know so many things. Just eat up.
I won't ever let myself...
get high hopes by telling him my birthday.
Then don't tell Woo Young either.
- Don't tell him what? - Your birthday.
(Searching for a roommate, Monthly pay: 100 dollars)
(I'm searching for a roommate...)
(who wants to live at a rooftop near our school.)
- Let's split the bill. - It's 30 dollars.
- Here you go. - Hey.
Why didn't you pay for the pork belly that Woo Young bought?
- What? - You didn't pay for that.
So why are you trying to pay for this?
That's because he's the one who invited us.
I'm the one who suggested to watch a movie...
and eat dinner together.
Goodbye.
Bye.
The weather forecast didn't say it would rain today.
I have seven dollars left.
Will that be enough to pay for the cab fare?
Just a moment.
Hello.
Can I have one more of this?
That's the only one we have left.
- You can take this. - What about you?
I can run to the bus stop.
Let's go together. I'll walk you there.
Let's go.
No, it's okay. It's too small for two people.
You can take it.
Then you take it.
Hey. Hey.
You're getting all wet. Get under here.
Then you'll get wet.
You should come closer.
The umbrella is so small, isn't it?
Yes.
Are you wearing perfume?
No, I don't wear perfume that often these days.
Is it because I told you that I don't like it?
Well, not exactly.
I...
went to the hospital that day.
What?
I met her.
I see.
Don't you want to know how it went?
I figured you wouldn't want me to ask.
How did it go?
It went quite well.
Really?
You should wear that perfume.
I'll do what I want. I'm not going to do as you say.
Forget it, then.
I'm relieved.
About what?
I'm relieved that you don't hate your mom.
Thanks.
No problem.
Seo Yoo Jin moved out of his apartment...
and is living at his bar.
Seeing that he moved out,
I'm guessing his business isn't doing that well.
So I'm worried whether he'll even be able to buy meals for Kyung Seok.
The elections are coming up soon,
but your kids are only causing trouble.
You must be going through a lot these days.
Do you know where Hye Sung lives?
Let's go there.
Okay.
It's...
not raining anymore.
You're right.
You should go now.
It stopped raining.
Here. You bought this.
Okay.
- See you. - Bye.
Wait.
Take it.
It might rain again.
Okay.
Thanks.
No problem.
I'm the one who should thank you for walking me all the way here.
See you.
I'll get a heart disease at this rate.
I definitely realized it.
I can't...
think of Kyung Seok as just a guy friend.
Stay healthy.
Who is it?
Hello, Ms. Na Hye Sung.
Who is this?
I'm sorry to visit you at this hour. I know we haven't met.
My name is Jung Young Mo.
It's me.
What do you think you're doing?
Is this your way of getting back at me?
How did you find me here?
Did you have someone look into me?
Do you still have no respect for me?
That you would barge into my home in the middle of the night?
Send Kyung Seok home.
- What? - Are you pretending to be clueless?
After Kyung Seok met with you yesterday, he left home.
You told him that I hit you...
when you saw him again after 10 years?
I didn't tell him that.
You didn't?
Only two of us know what happened between us.
Then you told him.
Where is Kyung Seok now?
If you know where he is, will you take him?
That's up to Kyung Seok.
Get out if that's all you came to say.
It's been 10 years since you last met, right?
- Keep yourself under control. - Yes, sir.
What's up this weather?
Let's go.
Gosh, it's so uncomfortable.
You're back.
What are you doing?
How did you sleep on the couch? I almost fell when I turned.
I don't move when I sleep.
You should take the room tonight.
That's fine. Don't make me call 911 after you fall off there.
I might move back home.
If I move back in after using up the deposit,
my dad really might kill me.
When will you go back?
I don't know. I should ask my mom first.
You should move back in too.
- Stop being a rebel. - I won't move back in.
If you don't, how will you get by?
I'll get a part-time job. I'll get a place too.
Just put up with me until then.
Hey, you think you're better than me, right?
Making a living in this world isn't that easy. Got that?
Get the lights. I'm going to sleep.
Is there a specific job you'd like?
No.
No questions regarding your family or your personal life.
You can't submit the copy of your family registry.
No jobs that require you to talk a lot.
You can't work every day or overtime,
but you want a job that pays well?
Yes.
I think...
it'd be better if you look for a job yourself.
Pardon?
There must be a lot of job postings...
on the recruiting website or the school website.
- I'll go a little later. - Okay.
(Job Placement Office)
Why is he coming out of this office?
Why are you coming out of here?
Why did he come out of this office?
- Thank you. - Sure.
Ta-da.
Isn't this cool?
Here.
- Jung Ho. - Yes?
You know the expression, "Little strokes fell great oaks"?
That applies to trees, not to people.
Then you should give up on Kyung Seok.
- Why? - He's a person too.
You little runt!
I saw Kyung Seok coming out from the job placement office.
Why would he go there?
A rich guy wouldn't need a part-time job.
He's polishing up his reputation.
Like even a son of a congressman has a part-time job too.
He's not a congressman anymore.
He will be a mayor soon.
That jerk, Kyung Seok. That explains his behavior.
What's up with this jerk? Why does he order me around?
Let's put some distance. Put some distance.
It won't be awkward after some time.
(Studio in Prime Location, Cool Studio for 600 Dollars a Month)
(Rooftop house near school, looking for a roommate)
(The rent is 100 dollars. We'll discuss details in person.)
What are you doing?
Was the movie you watched yesterday fun?
Yes.
I'm a bit busy right now.
Drink this, buddy. Goodness.
Look at that. I've never seen him walk that fast.
It always looked like he was annoyed by everything around him.
What? He's even running now?
Hey, Do Kyung Seok is running. He's running.
What's going on? What is this?
Just like any other day, I'm talking to myself.
What are you doing?
Hey, didn't Do Kyung Seok wear that the other day?
That's not 55 dollars. It's 550 dollars?
Come on.
Buddy.
No matter how great it is, don't copy someone else.
I didn't say I was going to buy it.
I won't buy it.
"I won't buy it." It's more like you can't afford it.
Hey, you drink it.
What do you know about my family's finances?
Oh, my. How are the finances?
How are they? Tell me.
We're better off than yours.
What do you know about my family's finances?
If you keep skipping classes, you can't graduate.
Do you want to stay one more semester?
It's just that it's embarrassing.
Could you come to classes after being humiliated by a freshman?
Then apologize to him like an upper class and clear the air.
Don't avoid him.
I should've done that then. It's too late now.
Is it true? Is Do Kyung Seok...
What?
Nothing.
What is this?
Unbelievable.
(Office of Chemistry Department, Teaching Assistant: Yeon Woo Young)
Long time no see.
Yes.
You've been well, right?
Yes.
I've been wanting to see you.
Can we talk for a second?
I'm busy right now.
You're busy.
Then I'll see you later.
Okay.
Had I known, I wouldn't have done that.
You want to move into my place?
- Why? - I moved out.
You moved out, but you don't have a place?
- No. - If you moved out, why don't...
Did you run away from home?
I don't want a short-term roommate.
It's not short-term. It's long-term.
Take a seat.
Did you read up on the terms?
But as for the first month,
could you accept the TV I gave you as my rent?
- Come again? - A microwave or a coffee maker?
I saw that you don't have either.
Do you have no money?
- I'll pay as soon as I get paid. - So you did run away from home.
I said I moved out to live on my own.
Have you already found one? I mean, a roommate.
No, not yet.
Then let's do this.
(Agreement)
Just pay 70 dollars a month,
but you must take care of all the housework, okay?
(Agreement)
(Yeon Woo Young, Do Kyung Seok)
Well, just pay 30 dollars more if you don't want to do housework.
I'll do it. I'll take care of all the housework.
Oh, it must be that way.
Put the side dishes in the fridge and come back out quickly.
I should cut up the watermelon at least.
They won't eat it if I leave it like that.
I can't park on the street for that long.
All right. I'll be quick.
My gosh, it's that guy.
- Pull over for a moment. - Why? Who is he?
My gosh, it's so nice to run into you like this.
Do you remember me?
Oh, yes. Hello.
- Hello. - Oh, hello.
Thank you so much for everything the other day.
Where are you headed? Get in. We'll give you a ride.
Oh, it's okay. I live right there.
Mom.
- Are you getting home now? - What's up?
- Hello. - Hi.
- He's a senior in my department. - Really?
You and my daughter are in the same department.
Yes, hello.
- It's nice to meet you. - Likewise.
Does he live alone too?
Yes.
How old is he?
I guess he's around 26?
So he's six years older.
Take some of these side dishes to him.
Oh, take some watermelon too.
To Woo Young?
He probably never buys watermelons because he lives alone.
I'll cut it up for you. Take some to him.
- Okay. - Hurry up already!
Can't he just drive around the block if he can't park?
Make sure you take it to him.
Yes, Ms. Na.
- How have you been? - Good.
How are you feeling? Are you better now?
Yes, I'm fine now. Thank you so much for your help that day.
No problem.
How's Kyung Seok? Is everything well with him?
Yes, he's doing great.
I heard that you two finally met.
Yes, thank you for that too.
Well, could you give me Kyung Seok's number?
I forgot to ask him that day.
Sure, I'll send it to you right away.
Okay. Take care. Bye.
(Do Kyung Seok)
(Kang Mi Rae)
Who is it?
Hey, Mi Rae.
My mom wanted me to give you this.
- Your mom? - Yes.
Take the containers. Come in for a few minutes.
Make sure you tell your mom that I thanked her.
Okay.
You should put everything in the fridge as soon as possible.
Oh, right.
Let's see.
Hey, what are you doing here?
I live here now.
What?
(My ID is Gangnam Beauty)
Exactly in a month from now, your rent...
