(On a particularly cold day)
Good to see you.
(While they're glad to see each other as usual...)
- President Jun. - Yes?
It seems Si Eon received...
a lot of malicious comments last week.
- Why? - That's right.
Is that why he left the secular world?
Why don't I see him today?
I know. I saw a few comments too.
I would've not come today either.
Right?
Did he go to temple too?
I think he left for the temple stay.
I looked up why he's not here,
and something nice happened to him.
What is it?
- Finally, - Finally?
he is cast for a main role in a film.
(He's cast for a main role.)
("Lee Si Eon Cast for a Main Male Role in a Film after 10 Years")
He's really become a great actor.
Let's say he's got the main role,
but he keeps talking about it in the group chat.
- Why is he so free? - He should be busy.
Why is he so free? Why don't you explain?
- You played a main role before. - Why does he talk so much?
- Is there that much time? - I don't know.
When I start filming,
I turn off the phone to focus.
Why is he so different when they're both main roles?
Si Eon is known as a waiting actor.
Does a main role wait too?
- Yes, they do. Of course. - The first waiting main actor.
- Really? - Of course.
- They do. - Yes.
How long is he going to be away?
He's going to be away for a month.
- A month? - Yes.
Malicious comments will be gone in a month.
- That's right. - Yes.
He'll be back by the time malicious comments are gone.
- He called me. - What did he say?
- The day after he got in trouble. - What did he say?
That it was too tough.
He said it was tough.
He's starting a film where he plays the main role.
He has to focus,
so he asked me to take care...
of the last seat where there is a draft.
There really is a draft in that seat.
It really is cold in here.
But this is Captain Idiot's seat.
Right.
Today, Kian84 is a temporary Captain Idiot.
I thought it was nothing,
- but it's pressuring. - It surely is.
Kian84. That position is really huge.
Captain Idiot came up with Na Rae Corgi, Na Rae Bardem, Han Dhalsim.
He is a nickname maker.
You need to do that today while watching the video.
- I have to make one? - Of course you do.
If you don't make nicknames, our rating is going to drop.
- You need to catch it. - I have to do that?
Of course. If the nickname isn't good enough, you'll be kicked out.
Okay. This seat has that feeling.
I feel like I have to go back.
You could be kicked out right away.
The feeling of getting kicked out.
Anyway, you should make two nicknames today, at least.
Yes, please. We're watching a video about me today.
Okay.
I'll make you one.
I need a new nickname for 2019.
I'll make a nickname that will last until the year end awards.
- Okay. - Okay?
Yes.
(Following her fortune told for the new year,)
(Na Rae went to temple.)
(Wait)
(A foreign monk greets Na Rae.)
(What?)
(Foreign templemates)
(She sets off to the path of mind training...)
(with nice people.)
(Monk Jeong Kwan teaches how to make temple food.)
(A series of neat temple food)
(You must overcome your desires.)
(Screaming)
(Finally, it's the meal time.)
(May I speak?)
(You may not speak.)
(When you endure silence training,)
(you finally taste the real flavor of natural ingredients.)
(Will Na Rae Corgi become Monk Na Rae...)
(through the rest of training?)
(A Night without a Neon Sign)
Let's go for a tea talk.
You know what a tea talk is, right?
- A tea talk? - A tea talk?
- A talk with a tea? - Yes.
Ta-da.
Come in.
(As they open the door, something greets them.)
Look. What is this?
It really feels like it empties my mind.
It's really pretty.
(Refreshment cups are placed neatly.)
You need to bow lightly when you sit down.
Instead of a full bow.
Yes.
(After sitting down solemnly)
After the meal,
I'm going to give you a lotus tea.
(She floats a lotus in a dish.)
If you see here,
I'm blooming a lotus.
Okay.
That was really beautiful.
(At the end of the monk's sincere fingers,)
(the flower blooms slowly.)
Do you smell the lotus?
(Do you smell the lotus?)
Na Rae Corgi?
(She starts detecting.)
(Twitching)
If you're curious, you may come.
(Na Rae Corgi is dumbfounded.)
The scent...
(She smells the scent by crawling with four feet.)
(Sniffing)
(Do you smell the lotus?)
The smell of sesame oil is too strong on my hand.
Did you eat with your nose?
I applied it under my nose.
It was so savory.
I smell it.
You can smell it if you go close.
As it blooms slowly...
It gets fragrant?
- It's bloomed. - Isn't that beautiful?
While the tea is infusing,
we're going to meditate upon the bamboo clapper.
(It's a meditation time.)
Put your left leg...
(Let's try crossing our legs first.)
behind this knee.
(She's willing to wet her nose by sitting cross legged.)
Good job.
You must straighten your waists to stay awake.
- Straighten your waists. - That's right.
Now your shoulders...
- You're falling asleep already. - You're very tired.
- You're already falling asleep. - No.
- No, I'm meditating. - Are you?
Always keep a smile on your faces.
As if you're going to burst into laughter.
A light smile.
As if you're about to laugh.
Good job, Na Rae.
Try smiling.
- Oh, my. - You're tired.
(A generous face)
- Don't I look generous? - The eyes!
(Her eyes make you want to donate money.)
(Come up with a nickname.)
(The monk exclaims.)
(She shares her smile with others.)
(Generous)
Why are your eyes...
- What about my eyes? - That's how you do it.
They were made in Gangnam.
So we're going to feel...
where the food you had today...
is in your bodies.
That's the food meditation.
Now...
(Following the trace of that food)
(Just envious)
It must've been nice.
(Let's meditate.)
"Let's meditate."
(Her eyes made in Gangnam are half closed.)
Where is it going?
Through the throat, then it enters the stomach.
(Thanks to you,)
(I was full today.)
(Dear food I had today.)
(Where are you now?)
(Thinking hard)
(Where did the food I had today go...)
You're falling asleep.
It's hypnosis.
My goodness.
(Her eyes look weird.)
(She wouldn't know even if the endoscope enters her body.)
It's the sleeping endoscope.
(She feels hazy.)
- She's falling asleep. - She can't help it.
(Closing)
- Those eyes! - That startled me.
(My eyes are acting weird, Monk.)
(Her eyes keep trying to look up at the ceiling.)
(Staring)
- She caught me. - Of course.
(Without realizing that she got caught,)
(her eyes keep acting up.)
- You're the only one sleeping. - Other people...
That's not true.
The lady sitting across me was dozing off as well.
- Don't tell on others. - Okay.
(Snoring)
(Her eyes feel even drowsier after finding a friend.)
(I'm watching.)
I fell asleep.
Why...
was that room so warm?
- She's still dozing off. - She's still dozing off.
You're still dozing off.
It felt like I was getting sucked into the universe.
The whole universe called me.
I couldn't overcome the weight.
It means she was sleepy.
(Oh, gosh.)
(The gravity is too strong.)
I feel sleepy to watch you.
- I'm sorry. - I'm so tired.
- Here I go. - I still feel sleepy.
I'm going to the universe.
(She's about to faint.)
I'm going to the universe.
That's your face in the secular world.
(A drunken trip to universe)
Goodness.
That's your look going to the second pub.
(Wake up, warrior.)
(Thinking hard)
Were you inspired by her dozing off?
(Finally?)
(He used to record the highest rating with a poem on the spot.)
(It is a contradiction of life...)
(to feel sympathy to the pig, and yet eat pork.)
(Na Rae believes in his ideas.)
I used to make that face often in Nonsan.
- So? - Nonsan?
First, I'm sad because I'm in Nonsan.
- Now I'm in the army. - Okay.
(What kind of sad nickname is it?)
A tired and sad private.
What was that?
- Are you saying she's a private? - Yes.
- I can never agree with you. - Excuse me.
Not everyone can come up with a nickname.
- The first attempt is a fail. - Okay.
(Due to Na Rae who looks tired and sad,)
(the monk notices the meditation has failed.)
(Wake up.)
(She's back safely.)
(She offers tea to Na Rae who had a good sleep.)
- You can have this. - Thank you.
A tea time is a time to talk.
- Have some lotus tea. - Yes.
And enjoy your time here talking.
You may relax.
(She enjoys the lotus tea.)
(The tea tastes good.)
Na Rae...
has such a generous smile on her face.
(Do I?)
- Yes. - Look at her.
- It's the sleep smile. - She's like Maguni.
Yes.
She looks like Avalokitesvara.
(She looks like Avalokitesvara.)
She said you look like Buddha.
What a compliment.
- Thank you. - That's what she looks like...
after surgery?
- I became Avalokitesvara. - It's before and after.
It tastes really nice.
It's more fragrant when I drink it.
Can I have some refreshment?
- Yes, you may. - There's a refreshment?
Yes.
(Dried persimmon, rice cake, rice puff)
- Rice cake and dried persimmon. - Dried persimmon?
That lotus tea was really good.
- It was fragrant. - I guess it was fragrant.
It's nice how it was all delicious and everything,
- but is there anything else? - Pardon?
(All of a sudden?)
You must've learned something.
- It's coming up now. - Now?
Do you have a plan after this or something?
- No. - He's trying to look cool.
Take your time.
- I mean... - Kian84 is too enthusiastic.
I feel nervous!
- I feel nervous. - You have two sides today.
- You're too enthusiastic. - Just make a nickname,
and stop being ridiculous.
I couldn't think of anything, so I thought I should talk at least.
(He ran out of ideas.)
Talk a lot.
Talk a lot. It's good.
- I feel nervous in here. - You're doing great.
(He's barely enduring the vacancy of Captain Idiot.)
Na Rae...
has the power...
to pull out your inner self.
Not at all.
I pulled out too much...
- that I'm trying to put it back in. - Are you sleep talking?
I'm sleep talking.
She's pretty, isn't she?
- Yes. - She's pretty.
You're all very warm.
(You're all saints.)
It's been such a long time...
since I spent time with people I don't know.
It's very therapeutic.
I can't believe...
how you laugh so easily.
Every time I talk,
you just laugh so much.
The lady from turkey is laughing.
- The Indian lady is laughing. - India.
The Indian lady is laughing.
They're all going crazy.
- The lady from Busan is laughing. - Everyone from Busan is laughing.
The Busan lady laughed a lot.
The Seoul lady is laughing.
The whole world is laughing.
Right. You get energy from people who aren't related to broadcasting.
I know. It felt great.
I had a very grateful day today.
(Silence)
Now, don't wait.
You must say something for this to be over.
(She's the laughter hunter of this area.)
It wasn't going to end unless they all say something.
My goodness.
You must say something for this to be over.
(The monk also laughs.)
Say something, Ms. Busan.
- "Ms. Busan." - Right.
I just ate rice puff.
(I have rice puff in my mouth.)
I'll talk after I finish this.
Talk after you finish it.
(She signs up to talk after swallowing the rice puff.)
- Your legs feel numb. - My legs felt numb.
They felt really numb.
- Do your legs hurt? - No.
I wonder why my legs make sound.
(Glancing)
I think Ms. Busan is done eating.
- Hurry up and talk. - The silence grows otherwise.
I think my thoughts keep changing.
I want to talk to others,
but at the same time, I want some time to look back at myself.
Sometimes, I feel very isolated.
It gets hard...
whenever it happens.
Everyone feels that way.
You feel lonely when you are alone.
However, you can feel lonely even when you are in a group.
She said it confuses her.
It's okay to ask me,
but you should ask Na Rae...
for an answer...
on a social image.
What?
(It's a bolt from the blue.)
(She tossed the question.)
I was so startled.
It's time to spike.
(How will she spike?)
Let's see.
What will she say?
I don't know if this is fitting, but...
When you see someone who has more than you,
you feel like he or she is happier than you.
When you have more comfort in life, you feel like you are happier.
However, it makes you compare yourself to the others.
That's what confuses you.
If you have thoughts...
that aren't swayed by those things,
you will be less confused.
(You will be less confused.)
She asked about relationships, but you gave an unrelated answer.
Right? That wasn't what she asked.
- You talked about happiness. - I don't think...
- that was what she asked. - Seriously.
You can see it from her face.
It didn't resolve her worry.
Why did you talk about your own worry?
(Did you talk about your own worry?)
Be quiet and make me a nickname. Stop criticizing me.
You said she did a good job earlier.
Why did Si Eon go to film a movie?
This is annoying.
Things were going well.
- Those are nice words. - Here is the conclusion.
If your heart is set, you won't be swayed by those things.
That was the conclusion.
- Sure. - All right.
(He is annoying.)
Now,
we communicated and shared emotions...
through the temple food.
As it says in front of you, it's a nice relationship.
- I loved that saying. - Did you see it?
- Oh. - "It's a nice relationship."
(It's a nice relationship.)
- "It's a nice relationship." - "It's a nice relationship."
You will go to bed...
at 9pm.
Have you gone to bed at 9pm?
- I have woken up at that time. - I have woken up at that time.
Right?
- You will wake up at 4am tomorrow. - 4am?
(Will they wake up at 4am?)
- 4am? - Yes.
I know one person who lives with that kind of a schedule.
- Who? - Sean.
- Sean? Does he live that way? - Does he go to bed at 9pm?
He goes to bed a bit later, but he wakes up at 4am.
- What does he do then? - He works out.
- Does he do that every day? - How does he wake up so early?
Why doesn't he deliver milk and newspaper as well?
- Seriously. - It's a waste of time.
- He cycles anyway. - That's right.
- I will tell him after the shoot. - Okay.
(He is serious.)
I enjoyed the relationships I made with you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you for your hard work.
(The tea time with good people ends.)
(They go back to their rooms.)
I can't believe we have to go to bed at 9pm.
We need to play.
I don't think I can do that.
I have never slept at this hour in the history of my life.
I have never done that.
This is when Na Rae Bar opens.
When you go to a school trip, you party in secret.
I know. I saw a store that sells dongdongju.
I want to have pajeon and dongdongju.
- Excuse me? - At the foot of the mountain.
At the entrance.
(She fights the temptation of dongdongju.)
(They safely reach their room.)
It's warm.
It's really warm.
- Was it cold that day? - It was really cold...
at night. It was cold because I was in the mountain.
(After getting hit by the cold wind in the mountain,)
(the room feels cozier.)
Gosh, it's really cold. Thank you for your hard work.
- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you for your hard work.
Gosh, the floor is so warm.
I wish the room was warm when we were eating.
(Suduka and Sita sit down also.)
This is what I like the most in Korea.
- Really? - Foreigners love ondol.
It's a culture to be proud of.
Now, 1,000 bows would be easier. Seriously.
(It's time to go to bed.)
- Now... - Do we need to go to bed?
Breakfast is at 6am.
The lights are supposed to go off at 9pm,
so we should turn off the light soon.
- But from what I observed... - Would you be able to fall asleep?
Of course not.
- My goodness. - I will try though.
I think other rooms turned off the light.
(She spies on other rooms.)
See? There are no lights.
There were no lights.
It's pitch black.
(Only Na Rae's room has the light turned on.)
Let's go to bed. I will turn off the light.
I will do it without hesitation.
They had never gone to bed so early either.
They were like you.
They continued to ask me...
if they have to go to bed.
- To us... - This is unbelievable.
"This is unbelievable."
This is unbelievable.
(Her pronunciation is unbelievably good.)
She is incredible.
How long has it been since you moved to Korea?
(It has been 2 years.)
(Gosh, that's embarrassing.)
(She is also fluent in informal language.)
- The girl from India is incredible. - She is so fluent in Korean.
This is unbelievable.
(They turn off the light feeling disappointed.)
I don't think I will be able to sleep.
(All lights go out at 9pm.)
Seriously.
Are you asleep?
- Let's talk. - It was like a school trip.
What should we talk about?
- Who is your favorite Korean actor? - Han Seok Kyu.
- Han Seok Kyu? - It was unexpected.
- What? - It was unexpected.
His voice!
- She likes his voice. - Han Seok Kyu is cool.
He is handsome.
- How about a singer? - Jinusean.
- I say, one for the money - Are you serious?
(She raps and proves that she is a true fan.)
- Jinusean? - A hip-hop duo...
from YG Entertainment.
Sean is making a lot of appearances today.
- And? - Park Bo Gum.
Park Bo Gum is cute.
I also like So Ji Sub.
So Ji Sub? Oh, Zo In Sung!
Zo In Sung is really cool.
(Her genuine reaction makes them burst out laughing.)
- People have the same tastes. - She exclaimed.
I know.
You have those talks on a school trip.
- That's right. - That's right.
[VIU Ver] E281 I Live Alone "Na Rae’s Journey of Finding Herself Part 2" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Na Rae is snoring.
- What? That's me? - Of course.
(Snoring)
It's not me.
(Someone's snore fills the room.)
- Do you watch a lot of dramas? - Not really.
I watched "Mr. Sunshine".
You snored while they were talking.
Are you serious?
(Who said...)
(she can't sleep at this hour?)
(She snores loudly for someone who can't sleep.)
You said you won't be able to sleep, but you are snoring loudly.
She is a pathological liar.
(Embarrassed)
(The morning breaks.)
(She looks outside the window to check the weather.)
(Shocked)
- What? - It was snowing heavily.
It was so pretty.
No way.
My goodness.
(She doesn't show any traces of the secular society.)
(She went back to the beginning of time.)
Kian84, it's a good time to make a nickname.
(The acting Captain Idiot tries again.)
She didn't let herself go.
- There he goes again. - She didn't let herself go.
Give us an answer without a lengthy explanation.
- I will think as I explain. - Okay.
This is hard.
It's hard to be Captain Idiot.
She didn't let herself go. She is tired.
Park Na Rae Who Didn't Let Go and Is Tired.
(What do you think?)
(That's...)
(simply Park Na Rae.)
What is that?
(You did your best.)
We didn't ask you to write a poem.
Make a nickname.
He is making that facial expression again.
Why would you write an essay?
This is hard.
"This is hard."
How do I come up with something short?
The second attempt failed.
Where do we go now?
It's time to eat breakfast.
- Breakfast? - Yes.
(Running)
It snowed so much yesterday.
(She wears a coat and earmuffs.)
Purple stands out in the temple.
It does.
Gosh, it's really cold.
- Can you hear yourself? - Yes.
(She bundles up and goes to eat breakfast.)
We are going to eat breakfast.
It's nice that they give you food early in the morning.
Yes.
He is greedy about food.
(He is greedy about food.)
It's snowing so much. What is going on?
Although it's so dark, I can see the falling snow.
- Look at that. - It's snowing so much.
Maybe we won't be able to go down the mountain.
- Is this the place? - Yes, this is it.
(They arrive at the cafeteria.)
- My goodness. - It's a buffet.
It's a buffet. You can get as much as you want.
I didn't expect a buffet at a temple.
It was so tasty.
Temple food is tasty.
(It's a buffet with temple food.)
- It looks delicious. - It looks that way.
(Na Rae stands out among many people.)
You are the only one in a fancy outfit.
I know.
You stand out.
(Let's see.)
(She spots acorn jelly.)
- Acorn jelly. - It must be made of real acorns.
I won't be greedy.
(I won't be greedy.)
Isn't that sausage?
- It's an apple. - Is it salted pollack roe?
- How can it be sausage? - He said salted pollack roe.
How can it be salted pollack roe?
He's the salted pollack roe lover.
(Even when there were a lot of different dishes,)
(he continued to eat the salted pollack roe.)
(His chopsticks ended up turning red.)
- It's not the salted pollack roe. - He's wearing the same color.
- What was that then? - Apple.
Apple? I see.
(Na Rae quietly sits.)
In the temple, eating is part of practicing asceticism.
So please keep quiet.
When you eat, there is no need to talk anyway.
Thank you for the food.
(Thank you for the food.)
(She tries the rice cake soup.)
(It's delicious.)
I couldn't talk.
- Are you not allowed to talk? - You are not.
(She eats one more mouthful.)
(She eats well.)
(It's delicious.)
(It's really delicious.)
(She expresses the taste with her face, rather than with her voice.)
(This time,)
(she grabs a sheet of dried laver.)
(She puts rice on top.)
It's delicious.
There were dried laver flakes on top of rice.
- Laver on laver. - Laver on laver. Double lavers.
(It would be salty.)
(When their eyes meet,)
(she smiles like Buddha and comforts her.)
You can't laugh loudly also.
(She even dips it in soy sauce.)
(Munching)
It's packed with sodium.
(She holds the chopsticks next.)
(The jelly bounces.)
It's upsetting when you can't pick up the jelly.
I couldn't pick up the jelly.
(She keeps trying to pick it up.)
You have to keep trying until you succeed to pick it up.
The moment you grab the spoon, your ego is hurt.
- My lips are shaking. - "I want it now."
(She manages to lift up one piece.)
That's it.
(She drops it.)
Her tongue came out.
- It's so upsetting. - Why are you so bad at it?
I'm really bad at using chopsticks.
(Na Rae is enslaved...)
(by the acorn jelly.)
(Let's be patient.)
- You got it. - You can pick it up.
(Shaking)
Why are you shaking your hands so much?
I can't believe we are watching her eat jelly for such a long time.
(The acorn jelly continues to cajole her.)
Let's go. Let's go.
- You can do it. - I can do it. I can do it.
- The jelly keeps getting smaller. - It keeps getting smaller.
(I'm nearly there.)
(I just have to take it to my mouth.)
(She explodes in the end.)
(She nearly explodes, but she manages to calm herself.)
(She carefully uses the chopsticks again...)
(and eats the jelly.)
I ended up using my spoon.
I don't have hand tremor.
My hands have been shaking since the eighth grade.
- Is that right? - Yes.
So that's when you started it.
What are you talking about?
(She eats the rice cake soup with her spoon.)
(It's much more comfortable to use the spoon.)
(She scrapes the bowl.)
- It must've been delicious. - She eats well.
That was a good meal.
It didn't snow all along, but it's snowing right now.
Perhaps it's because we have amazing visitors.
He said it didn't snow for weeks.
We will sweep the snow.
We will start cleaning the snow at 7:10am.
- Thank you. - We had to combine our efforts.
Do you know what "woolryeok" means?
I was staying very quiet.
- "Woolryeok". - "Woolryeok".
What is "woolryeok"?
Why are you suddenly asking that?
What is "woolryeok"?
It was only briefly mentioned.
- It was mentioned last week. - Right?
(It was mentioned during the baru gongyang.)
(It's a pure Korean word which means to combine strength.)
Woolryeok.
Is it a Chinese word?
- I'm sure it is. - I'm sure it is.
I think it's similar to the word "calendar."
- Calendar. - Calendar.
That was quite clever.
There's daily calendar, and there's a regular calendar.
What kind of a calendar is "woolryeok"?
I don't know what "wool" stands for.
- You need to tell us that. - Is it a perfect day to cry?
You cry while working hard.
(Scratching his head)
(By the way...)
Do the three of you know what it means?
(Looking at Hye Jin)
(Does she know it?)
- Why are you looking at me? - Right.
Look. Do you know what "woolryeok" means?
How dare you pretend to know?
- Wait. - Here, here.
- Hye Jin. - You...
- Wait. - This is what he does.
Hye Jin.
You don't know. Be honest.
Say it.
It's fine. It's fine not to know it.
- What do you mean it's okay? - I'm getting chills.
I will sit close to them.
- A while ago when we didn't know... - He says it's fine not to know.
Do you accept female members?
Join us, Hye Jin.
(They will give her a free pass.)
- She is the only female member. - The only female member?
She's the only female idiot.
I haven't heard that word in such a long time.
- She's the female idiot. - The female idiot.
(After having breakfast)
Where is the bodhi tree?
(They go to sweep the snow together.)
It's lovely.
(The snow falls through the branches of bodhi tree.)
Snowing temple was really beautiful.
It's beautiful.
Let's get ready first...
- and wait for the others. - Okay.
There are brooms here.
- Brooms. - Brooms.
Bush clover broom.
- Great. - Like the Harry Potter broomstick.
- It's like Harry Potter. - We are Harry Potter.
It's taller than Na Rae. What will she do?
I am Na Rae Potter.
Bush clover broom is the best at temples like that.
- That's the best. - It works really well.
- It works very well. - I've tried it too.
(Let's see.)
What will they do?
It looks pretty.
But once you start cleaning it...
I will go and ask where the gloves are.
No, it's fine.
It keeps snowing.
- What's the point? - What's the point of sweeping?
(Laughing)
The monk is thinking, "I agree."
(I agree with you.)
(Smiling won't solve this problem.)
(Please answer my question.)
(She pleads with her swollen face.)
What will he say to that?
Right.
- We still have to sweep. - Of course.
(He's reached the state of nirvana.)
"We still have to sweep."
He sympathized with you.
- Right. We still have to sweep. - Okay.
We have to sweep.
(The snow will pile up even if you sweep it.)
You have to sweep the path.
- It's dangerous. - It's dangerous.
It shouldn't freeze. The stairs especially.
(They move to the highest spot of the temple.)
All right.
We will start from here.
We will move to the front yard afterwards.
And we will sweep all the way to the bodhi tree.
(You keep adding more things.)
(So what's your point?)
We basically...
(He becomes conscious.)
We basically have to clean the whole temple.
(Laughing)
It means you have to sweep the whole place.
- That's what he means. - Isn't it...
- I... - Isn't it...
Isn't it "Real Life Experience"?
- It is. - When you are done,
- It turned out... - will you ride a unicorn?
When you are done, will you ride a unicorn?
- Right. - Maybe you will.
Maybe the monk will come here...
and say, "Good job, Na Rae."
I don't know. I should be riding the unicorn.
He might.
We basically have to clean the whole temple.
(Feeling sorry, he looks at them...)
(and smiles.)
(They burst out laughing.)
Oh, dear.
"Only then you will get paid."
(His shy voice makes her speechless.)
- Okay. - You know what to do, right?
(His voice shakes.)
(His voice is conscious.)
- He's really funny. - I don't know.
You can just sweep it to the side.
- My goodness. - He's sorry to make you do it.
- He's sorry. - He's sorry.
- It keeps snowing. - Give it a try.
Okay.
(Looking at Na Rae)
(I will start.)
That's great. Yes.
(Sweeping)
This area and...
I haven't seen this scenery in such a long time.
- I know. - I love the sweeping sound.
When was the last time you swept snow?
Me? I was a kindergartener, and I was at my grandmother's.
That was the last time.
Men do it while serving the army.
We used a shield as a shovel.
- The plastic shield. - I was in the police.
- Of course. - I used it as a shovel.
You're supposed to sweep the snow in front of your house.
- But we all live in apartments. - We all live in apartments.
- So it became irrelevant. - Right.
(Everyone starts sweeping the snow.)
The back...
(Na Rae leads.)
(She sweeps with power.)
- My gosh. Look at her strong arm. - Can you see that?
- What were you doing? - Look at that.
It's unbelievable.
(When she holds something, she becomes powerful.)
When she sets her heart on doing something, she does it well.
(Sweeping to the left and to the right)
(She changes the grip.)
It's beautiful.
It looks like a movie scene.
I wanted to get it done fast.
(She speeds up.)
(With her strong legs, she marches forward.)
She looks like a machine.
"When you sweep like that, you can't get paid."
- Look. - My goodness.
Wasn't I really fast?
(She swept half of the path alone.)
I swept the back all by myself.
It's so tiring.
(It starts snowing heavier.)
Wait.
We are sweeping it so hard, and yet it keeps snowing.
In the secular world, we call snow "Devil's Dandruff".
(It's as heavy as Kian84's dandruff snow.)
Why do they show that over and over again?
My gosh.
- Did you get the brooms? - Yes.
Let's all sweep this.
- From here? - Yes, from there.
Sweep here too.
He sounds like a task leader.
Right. Like a platoon leader.
All right, let's begin.
(Let's start this morning's snow removal.)
(Start as soon as you're ready.)
(All 12 members are ready to work.)
(I can't believe I have to remove the snow.)
(They move backwards in line.)
(Amazed)
(Left foot, left foot.)
(They're perfectly in line.)
There's still so much left.
(Thanks to the tree, Na Rae gets to stop first.)
Good thing that this tree is so big.
All the food must have gone down already.
- You look tired. - I am.
Soldiers hate it when it snows.
- Now I understand why. - They hate it.
I understand them now.
- It's the worst. - I understand the soldiers now.
(The devil continues to shed dandruff.)
(It's beautiful to watch, but the snow removal...)
(has to start all over again.)
- You have to do it again? - Yes.
- My goodness. - There's no end to it.
The work continues.
- Why did it have to snow that day? - Exactly.
(This is strange.)
(Why doesn't it end?)
(A white nightmare at the mountain temple)
(It's more like a military operation.)
(For some, snow means romance.)
(For some, it's a scream-inducing cleaning day.)
- My goodness. - I'm so sick of it. How annoying.
(Na Rae seems to be drained of all energy.)
I ran out of energy.
(Let's move.)
(The pathway never seems to end no matter how much they sweep.)
We could go all the way to Seoul like that.
Sweeping all along.
I'm sorry, but it looks beautiful.
It looks fantastic.
- It looked amazing. - It's like a painting.
- There wasn't much snow this year. - Right.
While watching Chang Min's video,
I said I wanted to see a snow-covered mountain.
(On Chang Min and Xiumin's trip,)
(the snowy mountains stole everyone's heart.)
- And it was right in front of me. - You saw it.
(It has a different feeling from the drive in the mountains.)
Oh, my. That's beautiful.
- It was incredible. - I love it.
- Look at how beautiful it is. - You can even hear the snow fall.
(With snow, the view becomes even more beautiful.)
(But...)
My goodness.
- All their effort is gone. - What?
- What? Where did it go? - My goodness.
Listen to the song.
(We start all over again)
(The main yard looks exactly like it did in the beginning.)
(It keeps going back to the original state.)
(It's wicked magic.)
(The work is finished.)
Monk Seon Jeong, I'm not sure...
if it's allowed to play a game in the temple.
But we have to carry the brooms.
Why don't we play a game and let the losing team carry it?
We'll throw the sticks.
- You'll throw them? - Yes.
I guess it'll take a while then.
All of you?
Sure, go ahead.
- You should play too. - Me?
I think I'll lose.
No. You should play.
You play last.
- What are the rules? - The rules are...
(He checks the rules first.)
He is so funny.
He feels competitive. He doesn't want to lose.
What are the rules?
- Each person gets 5 sticks. - 5?
- Five sticks. From here. - Okay.
Okay. Good luck.
(Let's see.)
- Oh, my. She'll lose. - It's hard.
- It's hard. - It's not easy.
My goodness.
- My goodness. - What if everyone fails?
The monk is enjoying another person's failure.
- He looks happy. - He looks happy.
(He smiles when someone fails.)
Pick them up.
Next player.
- From Busan. - She is the host.
The first temple variety show ever.
"Temple variety show".
"Carry the Brooms".
It's not easy.
- It's not going well. - The lady from Busan.
No.
- She is too tense. - She looks determined.
(Annoyed)
She flung it.
She just flung it.
(The monk laughs louder and louder.)
Fail.
- Fail. - She's from India.
(Everyone continues to fail.)
- That was close. - The lady from turkey fails.
(The monk looks the most serious.)
No!
Look at the monk.
He is feeling competitive.
(Only Na Rae and Monk Seon Jeong are left.)
You all...
(The others have given up.)
Thank you.
- Muscly Arms. - Na Rae...
- Ms. Muscly Arms. - It's not going to be easy.
(Everyone failed. What will happen to Na Rae?)
(To be continued in Part 2)
Thank you.
- Muscly Arms. - Na Rae...
- Ms. Muscly Arms. - It's not going to be easy.
(Her first shot fails.)
Na Rae is usually good at these things.
- She shoots from too low. - She is too strong.
She is too short.
- She shoots from too low. - It has to fly in an arc.
(She has lost three chances already.)
Why doesn't it work?
- Please. Get at least one in. - Did it get in?
Gosh, it didn't work.
- It didn't work. - Oh, my.
I failed.
I thought I'd succeed. Gosh.
Na Rae sometimes fails too.
I do.
(Monk Seon Jeong gets ready.)
- Foreigners play darts a lot. - Monk Seon Jeong.
Would that apply to him too?
He...
- Monk Seon Jeong. - I'm the last player.
(It bounces off the pot.)
He might succeed.
He'll get at least one in.
That was close.
(He has failed four times.)
(Now it's his last chance.)
(Na Rae can't take her eyes off him.)
(And a guy is watching her.)
So beautiful, seriously.
(What?)
You mean Na Rae?
(The two of us...)
(We would only exchange silly jokes.)
(I've already moved on.)
(Is he suddenly trying to revive it?)
(I've only come back from the temple recently.)
(Let me hear it first.)
- You mean Na Rae? - No. I mean the view.
No. I mean the view.
- I can hear you. - I meant the view.
- He said, "So beautiful". - Why can't you say,
- "Na Rae is beautiful too"? - What?
- Na Rae isn't beautiful? - He said it...
when only Na Rae was showing.
(Kian84 lost his chance to defend himself.)
He said it when only Na Rae was showing.
Why did you have to say that?
You said it right at that moment.
You're right.
- Let's continue. - Why not when the monk was playing?
Why did you say it when only Na Rae was showing?
I want to win the Couple Award with you this year.
(He has already picked his target.)
My goodness.
(With the beautiful view in the background, he tries one last time.)
(The stick bounces off the pot again.)
You failed.
(Join us.)
Too many people failed.
- What should we do? - What should we do?
Why don't we all just carry our own broom?
He tries to get away.
Or let's flip our hands.
Shall we do it?
- It's always a good day. - A good day.
- A good day. - A good day.
(Only two people show their palms.)
(It's Na Rae and Suduka.)
(They check to see they aren't it.)
(Laughing)
(They laugh for real.)
(Their laughter is out of control.)
(They feel sadder listening to them laugh.)
All right.
(Laughing)
It's okay.
- Mercy. - Right.
- Let's do it together. - No, it's okay.
This won't take long.
(The others help right away.)
You're all very merciful.
They all helped us.
Goodness, thank you.
We were all meant to meet.
Why don't we take a picture together?
(They take a group photo.)
(They met under the bodhi tree.)
- That's great. - It's really pretty.
Let's take one with funny faces.
Funny faces?
- How shall we do it? Na Rae... - 1, 2, 3.
(Smiling right away)
(Find the comedian in this picture.)
- You're the only one who did it. - It's just you.
Only I did it.
(They all check the photo and like it.)
- You all did great. - You did great.
I'm glad we met.
As I start 2019,
I feel like I received positive energy.
It was nice to hang out with so many people...
and I was able to experience...
thinking about the things I had forgotten.
I recommend the Rainbow Club members...
to let go of the dirty,
vulgar, and confused thoughts...
and empty their minds.
I really do recommend it.
I sometimes go to temples...
and think that temple stay...
- You sometimes go? - is about letting go...
of money, women, fame, and alcohol.
(He tries to teach them about life in a voice that doesn't win trust.)
You have to get rid of these things...
and look back at yourself.
(We understand it's something good you're saying,)
(but it isn't funny or touching.)
You die and take nothing with you.
That just came across his mind.
(What is he trying to say?)
That's what I wanted to say.
Is it?
That's how I feel.
I can't make a nickname, but I can say this.
- Did you fail to think of one? - You tried hard today.
- That's good. - All right.
(They say their farewells.)
It's snowing so much.
- You aren't crying, are you? - What?
It's just the snow.
Thank you for laughing...
at my lame joke.
They laughed at everything.
- Thank you for coming. - Bye.
(She went on a trip to find herself as she starts the new year.)
(Na Rae, who likes to flirt with men, took a short rest.)
(I Live Alone)
- We haven't seen this for a while. - It's CEO84.
(The office life of CEO84)
It's the star of Kian84.
(His office is filled with memories of the Rainbow Club.)
(And CEO84)
- Unlike the past... - Wait a second.
Are you wearing the same clothes? Is it a uniform?
How is this possible?
- This... - Did you film that today?
- This, the gray t-shirt... - He asked if it was filmed today.
Did you film it today?
I asked...
and he said he rotates his T-shirts, and it happened to be the same one.
Yes, I rotate my T-shirts.
Isn't it nice? It's like he jumped out of the screen.
You're right. It's interesting. He's the person on TV.
It's to deliver a lively...
image to the viewers.
Talk properly.
I wanted the viewers to feel that too.
- I see. - I see.
(He yawns for everyone to see.)
(What day is it today?)
I stay at my office 5 to 6 days a week.
Today, we wrap up our work.
- There are so many people. - You have employees.
It's interesting to see the employees.
There are six people including me.
Since we have several people,
we divide the tasks...
like pen-drawing, coloring and editing.
I draw a rough draft and hand it to my employees.
Then they finish drawing it with a pen.
I edit the drawings,
and they color them.
I make the final modifications after they color them.
- You divide the tasks. - I give the drawings back to them,
they edit them, and I check them one last time.
That means you're involved in every process.
- That's right. - You check everything.
I thought it would be faster...
- if I worked with other people. - It's the same, isn't it?
- It didn't go faster. - That's because you just started.
- It does have better quality. - Of course.
- That's good then. - How many cuts...
are in an episode?
I used to draw 60 cuts,
but I increased that to 80.
The quality has gotten better.
Do you usually need that many people?
Many webtoon artists use assistants nowadays.
I've seen up to 240 assistants.
(240 people work on a webtoon?)
He's a famous artist.
He draws the most comic books in Korea.
He draws several series at once.
There's something I heard.
Let's say there's a long table.
I draw the arms, you draw the legs,
- the next person draws the body... - Really?
(That's true division of labor.)
I draw the arms, he draws the legs and so forth.
- It's like a factory. - It's like "Modern Times"...
- with Charlie Chaplin. - Like a conveyer belt.
(It's like Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times".)
(This is a webtoon factory of the 21 Century.)
It's like a sewing factory.
(Kian84's saw-toothed wheel...)
(turns toward the deadline.)
- Goodness. - He rides a wheelchair.
Be quiet and get back to work.
People might misunderstand me.
He tries...
to be considerate of us.
It's just like any other company.
The two men don't look happy.
Everyone,
(He's always thinking about the employees.)
are you tired?
- Suddenly? - Who would answer that?
- I know. - Everyone.
Shall we take a break?
- He's brave. - He doesn't nag at us...
no matter that we do.
This is what working at a company is like.
Shall we take a break?
(Glaring)
(He looks away without saying anything.)
(Feeling guilty)
(He doesn't nag at them,)
(but works hard to show a good example.)
I'll just get back to work.
- Look at me. - You're like the boss...
that tells everyone to go home and says you're working late.
- That's right. - He doesn't nag at us.
- He's comfortable to work with. - He nags at me.
(He nags at me.)
I take all the nagging.
We were friends since we were little.
- The man in the cap is your friend? - Yes.
I saw things in him I never saw.
I thought it was easy...
for him to draw webtoons.
(His close friend has become a CEO.)
Don't we have to change the corporate name today?
- That? - Don't we need to go to the bank?
Let's go next week. We don't have time.
- Is that okay? - Yes.
You have to meet an accountant for the year-end tax adjustment.
He's practically your secretary.
Can't someone do that for me?
He isn't fit to be a CEO yet.
He's still learning a lot other than drawing webtoons.
(He has to take care of everything.)
Tae Hee, you do it.
(Park Tae Hee, the youngest employee)
Were you good at math when you were in school?
- Of course. - You were?
I didn't know, but after starting a company,
- I have to worry about tax season. - You can hire someone to do that.
- Look. - I need to hire another person.
You asked him if he's good at math after telling him to do taxes.
You told him to do it. This isn't some club.
It's like the army. "Did you study art?"
"Draw some lines for the soccer field."
- That's right. - You're right.
I just started the company.
He isn't fit to be a CEO yet.
We already knew that.
- Were you good at math? - Of course.
- You were? - I studied natural science.
- You did? - Yes.
What does that mean?
- What is he asking? - What?
He didn't study much either.
Even so, how can he ask that?
I went to a technical high school.
- So I don't know what that means. - This song is playing again.
You study math and science.
- You're a mathematician. - "You're a mathematician."
Are you done?
I finished what you told me to.
- Then... - Yes?
- The lines you were drawing... - Yes?
Wait, I'll check it.
We still need to learn how to work together.
- You drew it wrong. - Scroll that up.
This drawing...
is of him barging out of that room.
Then do the employees draw...
like you do?
I ask them to draw it as close to my drawings as possible,
but that's the most difficult part.
How should I explain this?
I can't explain it. You have to feel it.
He's barging out of the place.
- He had to look cool. - Okay.
What do you have to do to make it look like that?
You're using a dialect.
You need to express that. Try making this part...
- Either add something here... - I know what you mean.
Drawing is about...
- It's about expressions. - Yes.
It's hard to explain in words.
- That's right. - It's hard.
You want them to add a certain effect,
but it's hard to explain in words.
(He's trying to deliver his thoughts.)
Draw in more detail.
Pull that foot up a little more.
Okay, I got it.
I think you could make it thicker too.
- More here? - Yes.
(It's new to see him trying hard to work with others.)
It's a nice ambience.
You're kind of like Jack Ma.
What is Jack Ma?
There is a huge online platform company in China.
He's the CEO of that company.
He started with a company around this size.
- Really? - Yes.
- This is how he started. - Really?
Yes, when no one knew of him.
(So you're saying we're alike, right?)
- I mean... - He feels good.
Why would you feel that good when you didn't know who he was?
You really don't have a poker face.
I'll tell you what I changed from your drawings.
(The CEO of a conglomerate-to-be feels confident.)
- When you look at this... - Yes.
You know he's the main character of the drawing.
You embrace your employees.
Since they're looking this way,
this has to be here.
He's not only a boss but a good friend.
He's a good person, so we do as he says.
(They automatically follow Kian84's lead.)
That's awesome.
- Is this the N Seoul Tower? - Yes.
(Is this the N Seoul Tower?)
That's the N Seoul Tower?
It's far away.
- Come on. - It looks like a toothpick.
I don't believe it.
That's a toothpick.
- You have to draw this. - I see.
- Do you want me to draw it? - No, that's not what I meant.
Are you kidding me drawing the N Seoul Tower like this?
It looks like a lightning rod.
He drew it like that because it was in the background.
It looked very small from afar.
I didn't know Kian84 thought about all the details.
(He becomes strict after seeing the toothpick.)
(Next is a person with a facial mask.)
- This. - Yes?
How should I say this?
You need to draw the facial pack...
in more detail.
(He fixes the eyes and mouth to fit his style.)
(He also draws the folded parts and cuts in the facial mask.)
Do you think this is okay?
I drew the cuts in the mask.
It folds like that when you put it on your face.
That's right.
(This is Kian84's style of being in detail.)
- I'm impressed. - You need more details...
for the drawing to leave an impact.
(Scratching)
He'd be a great CEO if he'd take showers.
(Lee Min Jun, Employee)
It must be so tiring to talk to each employee.
The chroma is a bit too high.
- The chroma is too high. - You even pick that out.
You have to be this detailed?
It looks like he's doing a sloppy job when drawing,
- but his drawings are detailed. - That's right.
He tries not to miss anything.
(He doesn't leave out the reflection of the scenery...)
(or the leaves of napa cabbage.)
I should look closer when I read his comics.
No, you don't have to do that.
- I shouldn't just flip through it. - That's right.
Many of the viewers do that. They're objective.
Especially, when it isn't interesting, they just flip through.
- It's no easy job. - It sure isn't.
After visiting Kian84's office...
and seeing how he works,
I wasn't able to flip through...
his comics since I know how hard he works.
- That's right. - I just couldn't flip through.
I don't read his comics because it breaks my heart.
(I see.)
My heart has been breaking for several years now,
- so I don't even get close to it. - Me neither.
(Kian84,)
(me too.)
- All right. - He doesn't read it either.
- It's because he's sensitive. - We're all sensitive.
But he loves reading other comics.
Those comics don't make my heart break.
- He loves comic books. - Really?
I read comic books too.
I don't have to feel bad about those,
but I know the trouble you go through to draw it.
I'll try harder.
The outer lines are too thin.
The thickness of the outer and inner lines are similar.
The outer lines have to be thicker.
It's gotten much better than when you first started.
(He compliments them when they deserve it.)
At first, you were a bit...
(He remembers what his employee was like in the beginning.)
At first, you were a bit...
(Embarrassed)
The thickness is all the same.
- You can't draw attention. - Right.
(He scolds her for making the same mistake.)
- I see. - I understand that.
- He can't joke around there. - No, he can't.
That time would be meaningless.
That would be a disaster.
If you look at their portfolios,
many of them draw better than I do.
So many people came for job interviews.
I had to pick 1 out of 10 people.
It's hard to get a job at your company.
It's a competitive company.
- They're amazing. - So many talented people came.
Some even published their own comics.
Really?
They're high-quality human resources.
You're right.
- I feel bad... - That's right.
to force my style on them.
They all have their own style, but I tell them to do it my way.
(He feels bad editing their work.)
You're doing a good job.
I think you'll do much better in the future.
They tell you to look at the tree.
(He suddenly tries to say a famous quote.)
No, I mean the forest.
You are good at drawing details.
Take that.
(He finishes mentoring his employees one on one.)
(He goes back to his work.)
(He starts writing ideas.)
- You work so hard. - Yes, he does.
It's not just me, but all cartoonists do that.
(His hands move quickly like a professional gamer's.)
(He lays out the foundation.)
(Sighing)
(He draws in the air after letting out a deep sigh.)
Why can't I think of anything?
My brain must have shut down.
- Do you think of ideas alone? - Yes, I should do that myself.
(Glances over at the others)
(Staring at them)
(The employees are hard at work.)
[VIU Ver] E281 I Live Alone "The New Sides of Kian84" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(He grabs his pen again.)
When I was working alone,
I'd call it a day and go home when I ran out of ideas.
- Right. - That's right.
Now, I have a company to run and can't go home.
- Since everyone will stop. - That's right.
So I have to stay and work. I think it's good in a way.
- You have the responsibility. - I have to force myself.
Yes, since I have to force myself to draw something.
That's impressive.
(The future of his employees depend on Kian84.)
(It's as if he's signing papers.)
(He continues jotting down ideas.)
- You look amazing. - Really?
He shines most brightly when he's sitting there.
You're right.
(He silently squeezes ideas out.)
(He finishes his work.)
Are you done now? Is it a rough work?
I should hand this out.
Save your work and come here.
This is for you.
- Are you delegating tasks? - Yes, I am.
This is how you do it.
- Do I start right away? - I'll take a picture of it.
We need to take pictures.
(He's ready to take pictures.)
(He checks the sketch before posing.)
It's rolling snow.
(He sets everything up himself.)
(He poses himself.)
(He does exactly what he drew.)
- I see. - Why do you take pictures?
If you draw looking at a person,
it's easiest to have everyone draw in the same style.
It's better than imagining it.
(This is how Kian84 makes his employees draw like him.)
I should lie on the floor for this.
Wait a second.
He actually takes photos for all frames.
(He meticulously thinks about each detail.)
Okay.
From the pose to the facial expression.
(He takes various photos.)
(The photoshoot goes on in a corner.)
(Coughing)
(Choking)
- Oh, no. - What are you doing?
This is how hard your boss works to make money.
He's supporting you.
(Laughing)
(It's like he's throwing up.)
It sounds like you're forcing the coughs.
(He poses as soon as the coughing stops.)
What's that all of a sudden?
Closer, closer.
Okay, that's it.
- I'll e-mail the photos. - Okay.
This is tough work.
(They draw on top of the photos.)
This is awesome.
(The factory is hard at work.)
He's watching them.
(This hyena walks back and forth behind them.)
Can I see?
I don't understand what this means.
What do you mean by "more lines"?
Add more lines to it.
- I see. - Do you get it?
- These are all the same color. - Yes.
Draw details...
in the grass.
The drawing became more realistic.
- That's right. - Even the background.
(Kian84 looks at the drawings of each employee.)
You're like an art teacher.
It's kind of like an art class.
You often draw the mouths...
in the shape of a seagull,
- but I don't draw it like that. - Okay.
Then like this?
No, just look at the shape of my mouth.
(Goodness.)
(Cowering)
Oh, no.
(Sometimes, his drive is overwhelming.)
This is the mouth.
(However, he tries to show them instead of being all talk.)
Okay.
All right.
(Kian84 works without taking a break.)
I'll take a 10-minute break.
- What? - By yourself?
- You're putting that to use. - Yes, I often use it.
Si Eon gave it to me.
That startled me.
(Si Eon gave him a one-touch tent at the opening ceremony.)
(Cozy)
Everyone.
- Yes? - Yes?
- Everyone. - Are you talking from the tent?
Do you have any complaints about work?
- So suddenly? - I'm hungry.
- Let's have dinner together later. - Yes, sir.
- You have get together dinners? - Yes, we do.
Really?
What else?
The restroom is so cold.
- The restroom is cold. - It really is cold there.
Isn't that the same for other offices?
What else?
What do you want us to say?
We'll say what you want to hear.
Isn't this company good?
- Of course, it's good. - Of course.
Our boss is nice too.
That's what people do when working at a company.
I'm sorry that I've been too busy to come in.
I couldn't come in yesterday.
I should have assigned you tasks.
You don't have to.
I'm counting on you all.
- Yes, sir. Let's cheer up. - Yes, sir.
(Sitting up)
(The brief break is over.)
(CEO84 is getting back to work.)
Oh, my.
Shall we begin the new year's kick-off meeting?
- Okay. - Okay.
I'll keep it short.
Why do you have a meeting suddenly?
It was the beginning of the year.
I heard that companies have a kick-off meeting...
at the beginning of the year.
- So I decided to do so. - That's necessary.
- You try everything that others do. - He should.
He watched too many dramas.
How about we put on our company uniform...
- to stand on formality? - He's a wingman.
Please put on your uniforms.
(The employees are wearing their uniforms.)
Could you come forward and gather around?
It feels like I'm watching a sitcom.
- It's an actual company, right? - Of course.
First up is the new year greetings.
- He likes empty formalities. - He does everything that others do.
Dear employees.
(A CEO's elegant aura)
- Aren't they so different from him? - Kian84...
watched too many dramas.
(The company leaders' greetings that we've seen in dramas)
It's been almost two months since you joined the company.
It's still cold, but I'm happy that I'm working with you.
I understand that coming to work can be stressful,
and the office is a place you don't want to be.
We're living in a tough world.
I, too, hate to come to work.
"I, too, hate to come to work."
He's down-to-earth.
(He goes to his office to drink water.)
(The company leader is too weak-willed to go to work.)
(He threw out all the bottled water at home...)
(and come to the studio to drink water.)
They say going to work is the worst thing in the world.
Therefore, yesterday,
- I took the day off. - What is he saying?
Asking you to work hard while avoiding work...
seems contradictory.
- I apologize. - Then you shouldn't do that.
- It's more like self-reflection. - I felt apologetic towards them.
- He's reading a letter of apology. - I'm sorry...
- that I haven't lead by example. - That's new year's greetings.
That's okay.
He said, "That's okay."
Let's work hard and keep moving forward.
However, I'll start another series, so I'll be doing two series,
which will double our workloads.
- My goodness. - Gosh.
- I'm sorry. - Oh, dear.
Still, I hope we can work together...
in this company for a very long time.
That's my wish.
Thank you for your hard work in 2019 in advance.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Now, I'm going to tell you our plans for this year.
We'll go to a seminar overseas twice this year.
- A seminar overseas? - What does that mean?
It's a benefit provided by the company.
So it's a company trip.
Yes, it's a company trip. It's to boost company morale.
Which country are you planning to go to?
You should go to Japan, the home of cartoon.
I'm thinking of South East Asia. We can't go to a faraway country.
Is South East Asia the home of cartoon?
South East Asia is famous for cartoon.
- Indonesian cartoons are the best. - I see.
It's an emerging market.
People in Jakarta love cartoons.
- South East Asia is the best? - Of course.
- I'll announce our company motto. - Company motto?
- Do you have your company motto? - I really tried everything.
(From a ribbon cutting ceremony...)
(to a signboard hanging ceremony,)
(he tries everything that others do.)
Our company motto...
He even made a scroll.
- Where did he get that? - I thought hard.
"Never stay within your comfort zone."
These are common company mottos.
(What could be Kian84 Corporation's company motto?)
Our company motto...
What is it?
(Curious)
- "Finish work before the deadline." - The deadline?
- "Finish work before the deadline." - He does have deadlines to meet.
Just like a factory.
His only goal is to meet the deadline.
That's the most important thing for webtoonists.
(What does your company motto mean?)
As a webtoon artist, I must always meet the deadline,
and it's a race against time.
I hired assistants to buy some time.
Punctuality is the most important thing.
I must finish on time even if the work is not satisfactory.
- I think I should lead by example. - Right. It's a promise.
- Next up is... - Is there something else?
the employee awards ceremony.
- The employee awards ceremony? - It's been only a few months.
You should stop watching dramas.
- "You should stop watching dramas." - The prize...
I learned that you like cash prize the most.
So I prepared cash prize. I put a few large bills in the envelopes.
There's also an award for the second-best employee.
I'll announce the second-best employee first.
- The winner will get cash prize. - It's a bonus.
(They're hoping to be called.)
The award goes to...
the 25-year-old Kim Tae Hee.
- Excuse me. - His name is Park Tae Hee.
I mean, Mr. Park Tae Hee.
It's been three months, but you don't know his name.
- Thank you. - Mr. Park Tae Hee.
Kian84 is very fond of him.
When I saw his name in his resume,
I was excited, but he turned out to be a man.
- Did you think he was Kim Tae Hee? - Yes.
(He wasn't Kim Tae Hee.)
The best employee award goes to...
- Cash prize. - Right.
Ms. Yuk Mi Hwa.
She works really hard.
- Thank you. I didn't expect this. - She even works on weekends.
Even when she doesn't have to.
- She's amazing. - You must be grateful.
Now, we'll go out for dinner.
- Finally. - Let's enjoy delicious food...
and talk about the things you want to change...
- and what we need to improve. - That's important.
- It can be dangerous. - Let's go.
I think they'll end up fighting.
- Will there be a talent show? - Congratulations.
- It should've been you who won. - Whose is this?
That's not true. Congratulations.
- Let's go. - They'll eat something delicious.
(Have a wonderful time.)
- It's very poor. - The fine dust level?
The air smells like dirt. I feel like I'm a man nature.
- He looks great. - Right.
He looks charismatic.
You treat us to a meal often.
- Thank you always, boss. - He tries so hard to win you over.
- Please work hard. - You should be nice to him.
- What is your budget? - Right.
He's like a chief secretary.
Let's eat gourmet food since it's a special day.
- Let's go, everyone. - When I take them to a restaurant,
- I feel good. - You must feel proud.
That's right.
I used to follow other people who treated me to a meal.
But now, I treat other people to a meal.
I felt like I was a mother duck.
"I must make sure to feed them." I felt a sense of responsibility.
That's a sense of responsibility.
This way, please.
They went to a nice place. It's a private room.
- Was it a fancy restaurant? - Yes.
- Let's take a seat. - Yes.
- I'll sit here. - Okay.
(However, the seating arrangement...)
Will you sit alone there?
Will you sit alone?
No one sat next to him.
People usually avoid sitting next to the CEO.
Sir, please sit in the middle.
- Me? - Yes, please sit in the middle.
I'll sit here.
- Of course. - This is the only seat left.
Maybe because we finished work early, you all look happy.
(Of course, we are.)
Shall we...
Choose a dish you want.
That's an important moment.
The most expensive dish.
This one is 40 dollars.
- This one is 70 dollars. - 70 dollars?
- It's expensive. - This is 50 dollars.
(At his regular restaurant,)
(he used to eat a set meal that costs between 6 and 7 dollars.)
He always ate food like that, but this is way more expensive.
That's right.
Oh, they serve kkanpunggi too.
- Yusanseul. - Yusanseul is good.
- I've never tried yuringi. - Yuringi is good.
- Jjajangmyeon sounds great. - Gosh.
I couldn't believe my own ears.
I didn't know I would become like that.
It wasn't even seafood jjajangmyeon.
Pick a menu, everyone.
Something that we can share.
(A dish we all can share)
- Deep-fried dumplings. - They have kkanpunggi too.
This is why he won the award.
- A large plate of jjajangmyeon? - Let's order it.
- To make them feel full quickly. - Is it served on a large plate?
- Yes, it's a large portion. - It's good.
He says it's a large portion.
He's trying to change the others' minds.
(Laughing)
"I'll eat jjajangmyeon."
- One large plate of jjajangmyeon. - Yusanseul.
- Or was it yuringi? - Yuringi.
- Beijing style shark fin soup. - Go ahead and make me go broke.
It's hard to pronounce.
If you eat it, illegal shark fishing won't stop.
- Really? - That's right.
- It's for ethical reasons, right? - Yes.
- Right. He's not stingy. - That's right.
- Excuse me. Can we order now? - Chili shrimp?
I can't eat spicy food.
- Can we... - Kkanpung shrimp.
- Mayonnaise shrimp. - We'll have yuringi,
- a large plate of jjajangmyeon... - Three portions of jjajangmyeon.
- Kkanpung shrimp. - Kkanpung shrimp.
And kkanpung shrimp.
- Something like this. - Dongpayuk.
- Dongpayuk. - Large portions for all these.
- Large portions? - Yes.
It'll take some time.
- Good job, everyone. - Good job.
- Good job. - Thank you.
We may have a tight schedule.
(Laughing)
"Work hard after eating."
After they ordered dongpayuk...
- Do you have anything to suggest? - We should.
We should tell him on a day like this.
This is our only chance.
Whatever we say now...
There's something we have talked about.
We were worried about your health.
- My goodness. - Everyone worries about you.
- I'm grateful. - You might work in a hospital.
So we think it'd be great if you come in and go home...
- at the same time we do. - Right. I think I should do that.
We think it will help you improve your health.
She's saying you should stop drinking.
He comes in and leaves for the day when we do?
- That's a good idea. - He can go to bed an hour early.
- That's right. - What time do you go to work?
My employees come in at 10am and leave at 7pm.
- But I... - The CEO can come in any time.
I go to work and leave later than they do.
You make your employee feel so uncomfortable.
I'm sorry.
When we ask you to go out for lunch with us,
you usually tell us to eat without you.
When we come back, we see you eating cup ramyeon...
- or canned tuna. - I see.
- Do you do that intentionally? - Why would you do that?
- To lose weight. - They must feel uncomfortable.
- You eat ramyeon to lose weight? - Then you shouldn't eat ramyeon.
I thought eating cup ramyeon instead of rice would help.
It doesn't. You eat the soup too.
Excuse me, Mr. Salted Pollack Roe.
You don't deserve to say it, Mr. Salted Pollack Roe.
I used to eat with them, but I haven't eaten with them for a while.
Is it because you're worried about money?
(Are you worried about money?)
- "At least I should eat less." - I need to save money.
- "At least I should save money." - They must be so uncomfortable.
There's something about you both that worries me.
Both of you eat too much salty food and eat too fast.
- That's right. - You eat too fast.
I have work to do after eating.
Kian84 eats really quickly.
It became a habit when I was in the military.
When we see you eating fast...
- We're pressured to eat fast. - That's right.
- Right. They must be uncomfortable. - Is that right?
Maybe they feel comfortable if we finish and leave early.
We didn't say it because we wanted that.
I think it's good that the boss leaves early.
You can just give them your credit card.
- I like it. - Employees can enjoy food.
- Is that right? - Since we go out for lunch,
I just leave when I'm finished.
You have work to do after eating, right?
I go back to work.
That's why they feel uncomfortable.
- Oh, that's why. - Of course.
For example, if you finish work...
and eat dinner with them, it's nice for you to leave early.
"Enjoy dongpayuk and kkanpunggi. I'll be working in the office."
- I don't say I'll be working. - You don't even have to say it.
You didn't say it, but they know you'd be working.
Oh, that's how they feel.
- Of course. - Yes. It's the same thing.
- But he has no choice. - My goodness.
I have a question.
I've always been curious about the first impression you got...
from Kian84.
- He looked gigantic. - Gigantic?
- Gigantic? - Am I that fat?
I didn't mean you're fat. You looked large.
Which one do you think is more handsome? Me or Si Eon?
Why would he ask such a weird question?
- What kind of CEO asks that? - Why would he ask that suddenly?
(Why did I do that?)
(He wants to compete against someone who is not here.)
(Whatever you think,)
(he's your boss.)
He's an actor after all. However...
- He's an actor. - Of course.
So do you think he's more handsome than me?
I think you're also cool.
- But... - Which one is more handsome?
He already said Si Eon is.
(He said Si Eon is more handsome.)
(He might not stop asking until he gets the answer he wants.)
You're more handsome than him.
(Really?)
- You're more handsome than him. - Really?
But actors are fabulous.
He's trying not to lose his job.
- That's true. - He's an actor,
but you're a webtoon artist.
You're a webtoon artist, but you're fabulous.
Am I?
He won the award for a reason.
- It's hard to work with others. - He's good at it though.
Why do I act like a snob?
- He looks so happy. - That was bold.
(Goodness, you, Tae Hee.)
Just like an old witch.
That's even better. He's a webtoon artist, but fabulous too.
(Thanks to his perfect compliment,)
This is the best moment of the day.
(it also livened up the atmosphere!)
Food is coming.
(The food is coming out too.)
- It looks good. - It looks good.
- Thank you. - It looks delicious.
If anyone wants to try first, please go ahead.
- Sir, you should start first. - Me?
- He knows how to win others over. - You have seniority over us.
She's older than me, so she should eat first.
You didn't have to say that.
Let's all try it.
(It looks delicious.)
Let's have a toast before we eat it.
- It's water. - It's water.
(He changed his mind exactly 3 times.)
It's like a classic comedy show.
(What was that?)
- It's like a classic comedy show. - Hold on.
I think it went down to the throat before he took it out.
It's so good to see a comedy skit like this.
- Im Ha Ryong used to do it. - Right.
Let's have a toast when we get water.
I pressed the button, but no one came. He's eating it.
You told us to wait until water comes.
(Resentful)
- Exactly. - Why did I eat it?
- I'm hungry. - He was hungry.
He's so simple.
I feel so apologetic.
(He has a bite at last.)
I was starving, but now I'm finally filling my stomach.
The atmosphere is good.
(Everyone has a bite.)
I can't eat Chinese food at this hour.
Could you give us water, please? We have no water.
- Please put it in the middle. - It's good.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(Having a bite)
(CEO84 also enjoys a bite.)
- It looks delicious. - It's dongpayuk.
That was really good.
- Where's the plate? - Oh, my. What is this?
(It tastes even better since they waited long.)
Since I've been drawing habitually,
I don't even know if it's good or not now.
It's been over seven years since I started "College King".
I've been writing Woo Ki Myung's story for seven years.
- You get stuck in your thoughts. - Right.
I wonder if the story makes sense. I don't know what I'm drawing.
There's no correct answer when it comes to cartoon,
and I have never learned to draw cartoons.
I was very confident in the past.
I was sure that people will like my cartoon.
But it's different these days.
The longer I did it, the harder it got.
It looks so delicious.
Whatever you say, the large plate of jjajangmyeon is served.
It's important not to lose your touch.
- The noodles will get soggy. - They should start eating.
I shouldn't have said anything while we were eating.
- Please put some on your plate. - That's good.
- I'll cut the noodles. - I lost my confidence...
Why can't I focus on it?
Of course, he can't.
- Tae Hee is straightforward. - Only I...
Eat up.
- It looks so delicious. - The noodles will get soggy.
- It's right in front of my eyes. - I was talking to myself.
"I was talking to myself."
The noodles get soggy quickly.
- You should finish it before that. - That's right.
Jjajangmyeon served on a large plate...
is completely different from the one served in a bowl.
- They're in different categories. - They're totally different.
Look at that. Gosh.
(New Idiot, the biggest eater of Rainbow Club)
(Not only Korean food...)
(but he also conquered Chinese food.)
(He can eat an unbelievably large amount of food at a time.)
- They're different. - As for the one in a bowl,
you can eat it with chopsticks, but the one on a plate...
(What could be his opinion...)
(on jjajangmyeon served on a large plate?)
It feels more like you drink it.
(He uses an unusual expression.)
They're in different categories.
No one talks about the kick-off meeting of Kian84's company.
We're just talking about jjajangmyeon so excitedly.
Jjajangmyeon is the keyword of the day.
Watching it makes me sweat on my back because I'm hungry.
(Munching)
- You can just drink it. - It must be so delicious.
This is killing me.
It gets enjoyable.
However, it's a little hard for me to believe this.
I wasn't sure if it would work.
I used to draw cartoons all by myself.
So I wondered if I could make it work...
with many other people.
But it worked somehow.
- It's a great thing to do. - Right.
Not everyone can do well as a company leader.
It's good that you don't seem lonely.
It's good. It's better than working all alone.
(He used to eat and sleep in the office alone.)
This is footage from the early years.
He drew all alone every single day.
He was alone in Thailand too.
(He tried working in a new environment.)
- Deadlines. - He missed the deadline that day.
- That's the art school. - Yes.
(The days when he struggled...)
(to come up with ideas have become old memories.)
(He's not alone anymore.)
You've never missed a deadline since you hired them, right?
Never. We even finished the work before the deadline.
- Does he still have that hairstyle? - Yes.
He had a haircut.
Suddenly, Kian84 feels strange.
- Right. - He feels more mature.
- Really? - Yes.
Kian84, you're fabulous.
You're doing what no one does.
You guys have great teamwork,
so I believe you can create incredible synergy.
Do you think so?
(How do you think of CEO Kian84?)
I thought, "What if he's actually a weird person?"
I was afraid.
(Laughing)
Everyone worries about it at first.
He speaks straightforwardly.
Yes, he does.
But he's actually very professional.
And there are a lot of things to learn from him.
So I think I can trust him and follow his lead...
when it comes to cartoons.
He's called the man who lives just because he was born.
I expected him to be like that when I joined the company,
but he's actually nothing like that.
I thought, "If he's passionless, what should I call myself?"
- He's very passionate... - He lives to the fullest.
about his work.
- Right. - He's professional when he works.
It feels like yesterday when we played together as little boys.
He has opened up his own company and works hard...
- to realize his dream. - He's incredible.
When I saw him from behind while he was working so hard,
I was so proud of him.
Now that we get together...
as if we're starting something new in the new year,
I finally realize that I founded a company.
I ought to do better.
How about a photo for commemoration?
- Sure. - For the first new year party.
- Now? - The first new year party.
Excuse me.
Yes?
- I'm sorry... - Can you take a picture of us?
Sure.
- Hold the glass. - Hold your glasses.
(Hold your glasses.)
Let's all cheer up this year,
and do our best for the company.
Everyone. 1, 2, 3.
They're like family.
It's meaningful.
