(July 2019, Dong-gu, Daejeon)
- Mommy. - Yes?
- I... - Yes?
I dreamt about Little Forest yesterday.
Really? You dreamt about it?
Little Forest was in your dream? You dreamt about playing there?
- Yes. - My goodness.
(It's a midsummer night's dream where children grow.)
Were the Aunts and Uncles there too?
- Yes. - I see.
You must've really liked it there.
(We invite you into that midsummer night's dream.)
(There is a cozy house...)
(nestled deep in the woods.)
(You can hear the singing of trees and flowers here.)
(Children are not encouraged to excel...)
(but to simply grow.)
It's raining.
Can you hear the rain, kids?
(Nature is the most perfect playground for children.)
(In nature, children can run around freely.)
(Here, there's always healthy food.)
Say, "Thank you for the food."
Thank you for the food.
(Little Forest, the Beginning)
When I was 4 or 5 years old,
I stayed in Jecheon for about a year.
At the time,
Jecheon was just farmland.
After lunch, in the afternoon,
I just played in the fields.
(Young Seung Gi remembers running freely in the fields.)
I realize there's nowhere for kids to run around in the city.
If you set them free in the forest or in nature,
they will form relationships among themselves.
They will play with each other. They would get a chance to do that.
The director and I talked about this a lot...
- while shooting "All the Butlers". - Right.
We talked about that a lot.
Where are the kids these days...
supposed to run around and play?
We began with that.
(That's how...)
(the Inviting Children to the Forest Project began.)
(But...)
(you are not going to do it alone, are you?)
- You are close to Seo Jin, right? - I am close to him.
Seo Jin took care of the elders really well, you know?
- Yes. - So...
we thought about asking Seo Jin to join this.
What would it be like if he took care of children?
We became curious.
(Seo Jin and children?)
(I can't picture them together.)
Is he willing to do it?
You are here. Hello.
- Hello. - You look good.
You look good.
You will be with children for 24 hours.
That's all you need...
to know.
- Is it for children? - Yes.
What can I do well though?
You are good at everything.
- It's a good initiative. - You'll do fine without me.
Why would you get me involved?
We can't force you to do it.
- He's slowly leaning into it. - Right?
That's why he's asking about it.
A lot of people are realizing the need...
to raise children freely in the woods.
(The production crew continue to persuade him.)
How many kids will there be?
We can't give you a definite number now.
Is the area safe for kids to run around?
Are the kids okay to leave their moms?
They might look for their mom.
- We are already thinking about it. - He's already sold.
Why would you think so?
I can tell.
Of course, there will be adults taking care of the kids.
But I don't think that should be the focus.
Showing how the kids are doing...
should be the focus.
Right. So the location...
The adults should be supporting actors.
I think they should take the supporting role.
They will assist the children.
The children should take the spotlight of the show.
- He's very sincere about it. - We will make sure to do that.
(It seems like he doesn't need to be persuaded.)
Is there someone you want to do this with?
It doesn't matter who comes.
(He sounded like he didn't care.)
Why would you say that?
Is it a woman or a man?
(He's interested.)
- Is this person a big star? - No.
We will tell you later.
(Who is it?)
He's going to look after kids?
I can't imagine it at all.
I can't imagine him talking sweetly to children...
and adoring the children.
(But he's actually very interested.)
Did you grow up in the country when you were young?
I grew up in the country.
I think you can be in charge...
of chaperoning the children when they play outside.
Look...
Actually,
I am bad at looking after kids.
That's a surprise.
That's the only thing I am bad at.
I am good at doing pretty much everything else.
"What do you like the most about living here?"
I can't talk this sweet to children.
(She's already worried.)
I will be able to do a good job, right?
Will there be any other girl?
We don't know yet. Do you want another girl to be on the show?
- Yes. - Why?
I hope there's someone who can really embrace children with love.
Right. But we have you.
I am worried.
(July 12, somewhere in Gyeonggi-do)
(This precious person...)
(will make Na Rae less worried.)
(It's the house of the last member of Little Forest.)
(Her heart pounds.)
(This is the sound of her actual heartbeat.)
(Why is this precious person so nervous?)
(It's because of her first encounter with the members of Little Forest.)
(He seems lost.)
It's a quiet show about doing something in the forest.
But why are there so many secrets?
- Isn't this someone's house? - Am I kidnapped?
(Seung Gi came here knowing nothing.)
(Should I enter the house?)
- Who is it? - Hello.
Hello. What's this?
Do I just go in?
(He enters the house, not knowing where it is.)
Hello.
- I am sorry. He's saying hello. - It's fine.
- Hello. - Hello.
Just let him smell you.
- Is this your house? - Yes.
Hello, Seung Gi. I am Jung So Min.
Of course I know you.
(Her heart pounds even louder.)
It's nice to meet you.
So this is your house, right?
No, it's my parents' house.
(It's the house where she lives with her parents.)
Really?
Wait.
- Come in. - Will you be joining us?
Yes. It's me.
Really?
- It's nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you.
He's my nephew.
- He's so cute. - He just ate.
- Can I touch him? - Yes.
Hello. What's his name?
- His name is Yoo An. - Yoo An.
Yes. But his fetus name was Yeol Moo.
- "Yeol Moo"? - Yes. We still call him that.
His eyes are so big and black.
You can follow me.
I had no idea.
This is why the production crew didn't tell me anything.
(Welcome to the youngest member of Little Forest, So Min's house.)
(The interior and props...)
(are as cute as So Min's smile.)
(There's a small garden on the rooftop too.)
- This Place is... - That's a vegetable garden,
and this is a flower garden.
You could just live here.
(My goodness.)
You can sit there.
Can you hold a baby by any chance?
- No? - I've held a baby before.
Right. Then...
I will wash my hands first.
(He washes his hands first before holding the baby.)
(Stretching)
- Wait. - Let's go up.
(He looks very comfortable.)
My hands are clean enough for a surgery.
(His hands are very clean.)
I just have to support his neck, right?
Yes. He can't hold up his head yet.
(He carefully holds the baby.)
Go to him.
I will put this on your shirt.
He just ate, so he's going to burp any time.
So we will put it as a safety measure.
Is he going to burp or vomit?
- Burp, right? - Burp. Yes.
He has to burp.
- Hello. - I was trying to make him burp.
- I will be back. Let's go. - Wait.
Let's go.
(So Min leaves to let in other guests.)
What is it?
(Being fretful)
I am in trouble.
(As soon as So Min leaves, he becomes fretful.)
(Let's sleep my darling Yeol Moo)
(Being fretful)
(The lullaby won't make him fall asleep.)
This is harder than working out.
Where did So Min go?
How far did she go to let in the other guests?
(In just 5 minutes of being alone, he misses Aunt So Min.)
Come in.
Hello.
(What?)
I am Jung So Min.
- Hello. - This is my house.
- Is this your house? - Yes. This is my house.
(They are very awkward.)
Someone's already at the rooftop.
Let's go upstairs together.
I have to take that upstairs.
- Alone? - Yes.
- You can go up first. - How can you carry that alone?
- Can you carry it alone? - Will you carry one for me?
This is the light one. You can take this.
I will take this.
I will...
You just have to go straight up.
- Straight up? - All the way up. Yes.
Let's sleep. Let's sleep.
(Seung Gi is having a lonely fight.)
Let's sleep. Let's sleep.
I am sorry. Let's sleep.
You are dreaming right now.
Yeol Moo, you are dreaming.
(Yeol Moo, you are still dreaming.)
This is a dream.
Yeol Moo, this is a dream.
You are in your dreams right now.
That's it.
(Falling asleep)
That's it.
(The magic worked.)
That's it.
(Trudging)
- Seung Gi. - Seo Jin.
(He can't greet him full-heartedly.)
- You're here. - Whose baby is that?
He's So Min's nephew. His name is Yeol Moo.
How did you get those as soon as you came?
She prepared these, but she couldn't carry it alone.
I see.
- His ankles are out. - What?
His ankles are all exposed.
Come and cover his ankles. Come and cover his ankles.
What? Lean back.
(Leaning)
Just stay there.
Does she live here?
I met her for the first time today too.
Is she older than you?
- I am sure she's younger. - What?
- I think she's younger. - She's younger than you?
- Does she live with her parents? - I think so.
This is a big house.
I think she lives with her parents.
Oh, the door was open. It's just a heavy door.
- Hello. - Hello.
(Welcome.)
Hello. I am Jung So Min.
- Hello. I am Park Na Rae. - Come in.
Mosquitoes are coming in. I am sorry.
- Is this your house? - Yes.
- Really? - Did you bring flowers?
Yes. Since I'm visiting another person's house...
- I am touched. - My mom told me...
not to go to another person's house empty-handed.
- Please come in. - This cost me 45 dollars.
- 45 dollars? - Nothing is free.
- That's an expensive one. - Yes.
Your house is... My goodness. There's animal skin on the floor.
- Yes. - My goodness.
Your house is amazing.
It's really lovely.
Your house is amazing.
He's asleep.
Sorry I took long.
(There's already a baby here.)
He's asleep.
- You can't move, can you? - Hey.
Why is he sitting there like a manager in a drama?
No. Come out. Come here
People might think this is your house.
You will wake the baby. Keep it down.
- Have a seat. - Thank goodness he's asleep.
I'm glad he's asleep.
Let's send him away.
(Yeol Moo's mom arrives.)
Just stay there.
Oh, my goodness.
My goodness. He's so tiny.
(He looks very comfortable.)
She's good at taking care of a baby. That's good.
She's really good at taking care of a baby.
- I am glad. - Let's go.
So Min can be in charge of looking after the kids.
- I'm relieved. - Have we already divided the roles?
- Yes. - Right.
It's nice to meet you.
- Hello. - It's nice to meet you.
- Can we talk comfortably now? - Can we talk comfortably?
- Yes. - We can talk now. 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3.
(She lets out a shout.)
This is not my normal voice tone.
I can't raise my voice tone.
(Covering himself with a blanket)
- I need to warm up my voice. - Why is he trying to sleep here?
Are you camping here?
- My gosh. - He's here to do glamping.
- We have a sleeping bag too. - People will think it's your house.
You have a sleeping bag? You can't take that out.
- He might actually sleep. - He's unbelievable.
Actually, after hearing about the project,
I only found out about So Min today.
I knew there was another person, but I didn't know it was her.
I found out you were joining us the moment I met you.
Excuse me.
(Spitting out the seed)
Did you lose your tooth?
The seed.
- I have really loved babies. - Yes, I see.
And when I got a nephew,
I became even more interested in children.
When I do charity work, it usually involves children.
You must have a lot of experience with children.
You must know how to change diapers.
Yes. I can do that.
I am glad to hear it.
Why are you glad to hear it? Do you have no idea on how to do it?
I have no clue.
I don't even know how often diapers need to be changed.
Why do you keep spitting the seeds there?
There's nowhere to put them.
- You can just put it on the table. - This is my house.
- What? - She's right.
That was a good one. That's what you should say.
- You have to speak for yourself. - If you don't like it, say it
If you don't like something, you have to tell him.
- Can I spit it here? - Say, "Why do you care?"
It's her house.
I can clean it up later.
Don't be conscious of him.
You own this house. Don't tiptoe around him.
(I just won't look at her.)
The seeds...
Actually,
today is exactly a month before we start shooting with the children.
There's no time.
Tell us how...
you will prepare yourselves before meeting the children.
None of us is married.
That's true.
None of us have children.
Even at a day care center,
at least one of the carers have a license.
- They all have a license. - Are you going to get a license?
- You are going to get a license? - I thought I'd give it a try.
(Seung Gi is going to try to get a license.)
- A license? - Which license?
Child psychology.
Can you do it in such a short time?
Is it possible if you just study hard?
If you are smart, you will pass right away.
- Right. You are smart. - Then why don't we all do it?
- What? - Let's see who gets it.
Then why don't we all do it?
(What?)
(She becomes very passionate.)
You are turning this into something big.
What you said got me inspired.
If I can earn it in a month, I want to study it too.
- Child psychology. - Really?
She's the dangerous type. She's too ahead of herself.
(Did her excessive passion cause distrust?)
You don't know that yet.
I am so curious what So Min will prepare...
during one month.
(Our Passionate Aunt...)
(During one month, I learned yoga for kids.)
(Can kids have tight hamstrings?)
(Not only yoga for kids,)
(but she also learned origami,)
(arts and craft,)
(playing with shadows,)
(and studied for the license too.)
(She spent the whole month getting ready for the little ones.)
(How much did So Min transform?)
What role did you think...
- Seo Jin would play? - What's his position?
What position did you have in mind when you cast him?
He has experience from "Three Meals a Day".
Then did you hire him as the head chef?
- Yes. - What? He's the head chef?
He eats bland food.
Right. You cook well, don't you? You cooked a lot on that show.
I never cooked.
- Then who? - It's my first time to cook.
Then who cooked on "Three Meals a Day"?
It was Eric.
What?
I got fooled. My goodness.
And he's the head chef. My goodness.
I am going to be slicing things all day.
I can see it already.
Are you going to feed the kids party snacks?
Actually, that's what I'm worried about.
I mostly cook party snacks.
I am from Jeolla Province, so I season my food strongly.
So after this,
if someone I know has a child,
I am going to visit and try what they eat.
- I've never tasted kids' food. - Kids eat rinsed ramyeon.
- You have to rinse kimchi too. - They need kimchi to be rinsed too.
You can cook. What else can you do well?
What is the thing you can do well?
Right. I am...
I can get along with kids very well only in short periods of time.
In the past, I'd do something extreme.
Like acting as a dinosaur.
- I'm good at impersonating a T-rex. - Okay.
Can you show us a little bit of it? How do you do it?
First of all... It's embarrassing.
I am a little embarrassed.
We will watch you in the eyes of children.
I passed out after playing with them for an hour.
There's a certain posture. Let me show you.
There's a way in doing this. Here's the thing.
You need to use only three fingers.
Use only three fingers and point them out like this.
(There she goes.)
(Screaming)
(Running around)
(He turns his face away.)
- They will burst into laughter. - Kids will love it.
I'm good at physical work.
I like to work.
I want to try babysitting three kids by myself.
If we can do that, we can babysit 12 kids in total.
(The young babysitter who seemed pretty confident...)
(There's a dead cicada.)
(He gets busy looking for cicadas...)
(and catching chickens.)
(He has to play around with the untiring little kids...)
(and do his chores at the same time.)
(Will Uncle Seung Gi be okay?)
The kids we will look after...
are aged four and over, right?
They're the most difficult to care.
- You think? - Yes.
Four-year-olds are mostly stubborn.
- People say, "Ugly four-year-olds". - Exactly.
And they are quite poor at washing themselves,
brushing teeth, and bowel movements.
They can't even brush their teeth?
Not brushing their teeth for three days wouldn't kill them.
They should form a good habit at that age.
All of their teeth will eventually fall out.
What are you talking about?
You should say that to the kids.
"Your teeth will all fall out anyway even if you brush them well."
- Because they are baby teeth. - They will get permanent teeth.
- That's true. - I guess you're right.
Kids aged 5 and 6 start having peer conflict while playing.
And it's when they become physically very strong and curious.
Right. Kids aged 5 and 6 run a lot.
- "Why?" - Why?
They keep asking why like this.
That's right.
"Why? Why is that?"
- You're right. - We can send them to Seo Jin then.
Seo Jin will give good answers and make them stop asking questions.
But this is what he'd say.
"Can I not brush my teeth?"
"You don't have to. They will fall out anyway."
Is this good for the children's education?
(Seo Jin, who was once like this,)
(soon starts speaking in a soothing ASMR-tone.)
Let's go brush your teeth.
Do you know how to brush your teeth?
You're good at this. You know?
It's true though. They should know the facts.
Whenever they ask why, we should send them to Seo Jin.
We should do that.
Aren't you curious about the place?
- Of course we are. - Where is it?
It's Inje, Gangwon Province.
The land is about 33,000m² big.
- What? - 33,000m²?
(33,000m²?)
It's the size of a few soccer fields.
What are we going to do on such a big tract of land?
(A month later)
(1 day before the opening of Little Forest)
- The weather is nice. - It suddenly became nice.
(Jjigbaggol, Inje, Gangwon Province)
I have a good feeling about this.
I should've brought some snacks.
This place is deep in the mountains.
(Going through the entrance with a cute sign)
Look at the hydrangea.
It's beautiful.
- The hydrangea is in full bloom. - It's so pretty.
(The road is decorated with beautiful hydrangea.)
I guess the production crew planted them.
- Why would you... - Are you serious?
(Smiling)
It'd cost the whole production budget...
to plant all the flowers here.
Everything on hydrangea?
(After passing a trail of hydrangea...)
Are we using this whole area?
I guess so.
(It's a wide space that is more than 33,000m².)
It looks cute.
- Now... - I mean...
Wow, the garden is beautiful.
- This is nice. - All right. We're here.
(Episode 1, The Summer of Jjigbaggol)
- We're here. - I don't hear a single car here.
(They've arrived.)
Look at the flower garden. It's beautiful.
(It's a quiet and secluded place...)
(away from the city's buzz.)
How do we carry them all?
- Let's unload the things we need. - I'll carry this.
- This is nice. - Let's go.
(Let's go.)
How did they find a place like this?
- Look at that. - Did they rent the place?
I had no idea there was a place like this.
- Isn't it heavy, So Min? - No.
So Min is very passionate.
- This is pretty. - It's really pretty.
We should go up there.
- Where? - Over there.
(It looks quite heavy.)
- It's heavy, right? - No. I can do this.
- Are you all right? - Yes.
(Worried)
It will take forever.
- Don't do that. - It's done.
- It's working now. - Drag it behind you.
How? Behind me?
- Put it behind you and... - Like this?
Sure. You should go like this.
Yes. That's better.
- Let me help you. - I'm okay.
What's that?
Thank you.
- My gosh. - What is this?
- It's an open kitchen. - This is unbelievable.
- It's so pretty. - This is amazing.
- It's really nice. - Right?
(An open kitchen over the green grass)
(It's an open kitchen where they will cook for the little kids.)
(Amazed)
The kitchen is very nice.
(Is this the kitchen I'll be using?)
Bread crumbs, starch, wheat flour...
We have all kinds of ingredient.
It will be just an excuse if we say we can't cook.
This is unbelievable.
This place is so...
It makes me want to cook.
What?
- What? - Gosh, Seo Jin...
I can't believe this.
He didn't seem to care, but he even got a cooking license.
(Seo Jin got a cooking license for kids.)
- I like his picture. - My gosh.
He kind of looks like Ok Taec Yeon.
(Shy)
He even learned to cook.
One way in encouraging kids to eat...
is to present food in a visually-friendly way.
Everything should be cut small for kids, right?
That's right.
(Uncle Seo Jin learned how to cook for children.)
That's good.
It's not easy.
You did a good job.
(It's come to fruition.)
He used one of his old photos.
(It's the licensed-chef, Seo Jin's kitchen.)
He's a licensed chef.
Do I have to show off my license too?
- What? What's that? - Don't you all have one?
Don't you all have one in your pockets too?
- "Child psychology counselor"? - Child psychology counselor.
(Seung Gi got his child psychology counseling license.)
(He studied hard for a whole month to get the license.)
It's been a long time since I studied with books.
(And it wasn't easy.)
Perro.
(He calls his pet dog.)
Perro.
(He checks his phone.)
(Anyway, he got his license after a month of hard work.)
- "Child psychology counselor"? - Child psychology counselor.
- Really? - Yes.
Don't you all have one in your pockets too?
(Running hurriedly)
(So Min is taking something out too.)
Gosh, this is...
She even brought a degree.
What's that?
- Ta-da. - I know what it is.
- It's the same thing. - The same thing.
- It's the same one. - "Child psychology counselor."
That's what I have.
Did you get this?
I did.
What's wrong with your picture?
- The picture... - It's from my profile.
- What is this? Can you do this? - This isn't right.
- Can you use this picture? - This is wrong.
You look too pretty in the picture.
Who'd use a picture like this on a license?
- Right. - Is it okay to cover your face?
(Interested)
- This place is... - Why not? It's not for a passport.
It is a lot nicer than what I thought.
This open kitchen is really good.
- I thought it'd be some pension. - Me too.
I thought it would just be a nice pension.
What was this place for?
The owner of the house used to live here.
I knew it.
This is just too good.
After hearing about the purpose of our show,
they allowed us to use this place.
They just allowed us to use the whole place?
Just for our show?
Yes. So children can run around and play freely.
(The owners of the house willingly rented out...)
(their personal space for the children.)
(But Jjigbaggol is...)
(quite large.)
- This is so nice. - But...
the most important part is the children's rooms.
Let's get in there.
- This is quite pleasant. - It's lovely.
It's perfect.
(A sunny living room)
It's pretty.
- There's so much more. - It's a room for kids.
- It's so cute. - The room is...
It looks nice.
- I guess this is also for the kids. - My goodness.
(There's a mat spread for children.)
- This is the... - There's an air purifier too.
They wouldn't get hurt even if they fall.
(They will be writing a lot of stories in this place.)
I can sit here and have some coffee in the morning.
Kids can't drink coffee though.
- Morning milk. - You keep thinking what you want.
They can have some milk in the morning.
- It'd be nice. - We can have some pork here too.
- Pork? - So funny.
Let's just think about the kids.
I can't do that.
(Later that day, So Min...)
(Restless)
(She's looking around the house?)
(So Min covered every corner of the furniture so kids won't get hurt.)
(Traces of the corner fairy)
Let's go to the workshop now.
(Now they head to the workshop behind the house.)
So this is...
Awesome.
This is so nice.
(It's a spacious work space in the backyard.)
This workshop is amazing.
- It's a nice workshop. - I know.
I want to make potteries here.
Who's going to use this place?
- Him. - I learned a bit of woodworking.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
He'll handle all of the woodworking.
What's the biggest feature of kids furniture?
(Lee Seung Gi,)
(he's going to attempt in making kids furniture.)
The kids can mount on it.
(Seung Gi wants to surprise the kids with his handmade furniture.)
(He steadily practiced for a month.)
(What will be the first kids' furniture...)
(made by Seung Gi at the workshop today?)
Let's start making side dishes.
(So Min and Seung Gi as a team, Seo Jin and Na Rae as a team)
I'm going to make ketchup.
I'm going to make stir-fried anchovies.
(The main chef, Seo Jin will make organic homemade ketchup.)
(Na Rae will make stir-fried anchovies with nuts.)
(Stir-fry the anchovies first.)
(Na Rae is thinking about the recipe.)
Do I have to wash them in running water?
Would it be too salty?
Seo Jin, should I wash them now?
Why are you asking me?
Because you have a license.
I don't have a license for stir-fried anchovies.
I should still discuss it with the person who has a license.
What should I do?
Don't you have a lot of experience?
The recipe says to wash them in running water before cooking.
- Any left-overs? - What?
(Na Rae tastes it.)
I don't think it's salty.
It's a little salty.
But it's perfect for me.
Your food is salty.
- What? - Yes?
Seo Jin, the saltier the food, the more rice they'll eat.
Don't make it salty.
- "Don't make it salty"? - Yes.
I don't know how I should season food for kids.
Since you have the certificate,
taste it after I'm done making it.
And tell me what you think.
(Stir-fry sweet oligosaccharide...)
(with anchovies.)
(And add savory nuts.)
It's going to be good. It smells so nice.
It should be good.
(Stir-fried anchovies that will capture the kids' taste buds)
Taste it.
(The main chef tastes the stir-fried anchovies.)
That should do it, right?
- It's salty. - Is it?
- It's salty. - I knew it.
(It's seriously salty.)
It's too salty. Hey.
- Is it too salty? - Gosh.
Is it that salty?
(Seo Jin picks up something.)
Take a bite of this as punishment.
What? Wait, why do I have to be punished?
- Eat this as a punishment. - Put it down.
You must eat it.
- Gosh, wait. - Get your mind together.
(Na Rae tastes it again with a hot pepper on one hand.)
(It's salty, right?)
Isn't it perfect?
- It's too salty. - What if it was for adults?
(Is it salty or not? That's the question.)
- As a side dish. - You shouldn't eat too salty.
It's just perfect to eat along with rice.
(Are you sure?)
Is it salty?
I shouldn't have eaten it.
Since old times,
people said salty side dishes make you eat a lot of rice.
Then I will eat this because I like salty food.
(While Na Rae is making stir-fried anchovies again for kids...)
(Seo Jin is struggling with tomatoes.)
Director insists that he wants to only give kids organic foods.
I don't understand him.
He's peeling tomato skins.
(Seo Jin is making organic homemade ketchup.)
- This should do it, right? - What?
No, I think you should do all of them.
Wouldn't that be too much?
No, I think you should do all of them.
The kids like ketchup.
("Kids like it" is the magic word that keeps Seo Jin working.)
- It's been blanched, right? - Yes.
When the skin is curled up, it's blanched.
Seo Jin, that's a lot of work.
(Seo Jin is putting so much effort.)
Peeling tomatoes is so much work.
(At the same time...)
(he is very slow.)
(Dawdling)
(When will he get them done?)
(Seo Jin took forever to peel the tomatoes.)
My goodness, Seo Jin is peeling tomatoes all day.
How are tomatoes going, Seo Jin?
(How are tomatoes going, Seo Jin?)
I don't know.
(He's been peeling tomatoes for 30 minutes.)
(Simpering)
(What am I doing?)
(He stands up.)
(He peels while standing.)
(It took him an hour to peel all the tomatoes.)
(Rummaging)
(The main chef is looking for something.)
- Where is the aluminum pot? - What?
- Where is the aluminum pot? - What is an aluminum pot?
Don't you know?
This.
(An aluminum pot?)
- A bowl? - Yes, something like that.
- Do you mean a basin? - Yes, to put them in.
- Yes, a basin. - You're an old man, aren't you?
What's with the aluminum pot? My grandma used to call that.
(Seo Jin loves traditions and history.)
(After finding a basin,)
(Seo Jin grinds the tomatoes.)
(Grind the tomatoes...)
(and boil it for a while.)
- Add starch. - Okay.
- Do I add it as I boil it? - That's right.
You have to keep stirring it.
Then it will become thick.
(He didn't know this much work was needed to make ketchup.)
The color is nice.
- Nice. - Isn't it?
It's tomato sauce.
(Now he's stirring it for many minutes.)
(The ingredients of homemade ketchup are...)
(tomatoes, sincerity, and patience.)
- Do you need any help? - What?
Are you making ketchup?
- Yes, he's making ketchup. - Amazing.
- Na Rae. - Yes?
(Na Rae, taste the ketchup.)
We have rice.
Where is it?
I think I ate too much. I don't remember what ketchup tastes like.
- Let me... - It's ketchup. This is perfect.
- Is that so? - Adding salt at the end was great.
- Is this it? - Yes.
This is ketchup.
(So Min tastes it.)
- It's hot. - Of course it's hot.
- It's ketchup, right? - Yes.
It's ketchup.
Shouldn't we add more water?
It tastes like ketchup, right?
- It's ketchup. - Yes, it is.
It's totally ketchup.
Doesn't it taste really mild?
- Yes. - It tastes really healthy.
(Na Rae was serious when seasoning these side dishes.)
(We hope the kids will like them.)
What's Seung Gi doing right now?
He's doing woodwork.
- Woodworking? - Yes.
(Seung Gi is proving himself with his manly charms.)
(Serious)
(What is he making?)
I'm going to visit my close friend's house.
And today...
Chae Won, hi.
Jun Soo, hi.
- Hello. - Hi.
This is a present for you.
- My face is big. - Your face is big?
No, my face is bigger.
(Seung Gi spent a night at his friend's with the children.)
You changed all your furniture for the kids.
- Climb up there. - Climb up.
The kids must need a footstool.
I should make a footstool to put in the bathroom.
(We need a footstool for kids.)
(And Seung Gi is carrying out that plan right now.)
[VIU Ver] SBS E01 'Little Forest' "The Summer of Jjigbaggol" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(What will...)
(Seung Gi's heartfelt footstool for the kids look like?)
- Na Rae, are you finished? - Yes, it's all finished.
This is because Seo Jin...
Goodness, that looks wonderful.
(She's surprised.)
- That's awesome. - While I was making this...
Na Rae, have a seat here.
- Turn it around. - It's a footstool.
It's a footstool.
(A footstool made out of love for the kids)
(It's very sturdy.)
- This is nice. - Isn't it?
The kids can climb on it when they wash their faces.
- This is nice. - If you can sit on it, it's good.
(This sturdily built footstool...)
(will become a reassuring pedestal for the children.)
- One... - Yes.
(Satisfied)
That's good.
Let's go. Let's eat.
- Where's the spatula? - It's here.
You're serving us meat because we worked hard today?
- We deserve it. - No. So we can have...
more energy tomorrow.
You guys worked hard today.
But you have to work harder tomorrow.
(It's a special gift from the staff for tomorrow's hard work.)
It looks crazy delicious.
Thank you.
(Eating with gusto)
Thank you.
Families who have kids...
seem to usually have the kids' leftovers.
(She suddenly realizes her fate and sighs.)
Hey...
Again.
- I'm feeling humble. - What?
- We have to eat the kids' food. - Their leftovers.
We can't eat anything else.
Enjoy the food. I'll grill the beef for you guys.
(I should eat as much as I can, when I can.)
Who is going to make lunch?
Will you do it?
I can't do it alone.
How do you expect me to do it alone?
I can do soup. I mean what will be the menu for lunch?
Let's do omurice or something.
Omurice? Isn't it hard to make?
No, that's a bit easy.
- I can do omurice. - You can?
There's some minced beef. Make hamburg steaks with that.
That's better for dinner.
We can have omurice for lunch.
Then have hamburg steak for dinner.
Okay.
Please decide the menu for us.
I'm going to look forward to lunch.
You'll be eating the leftovers.
There's nothing to look forward to.
It has to be tasty though.
(I forgot that.)
Omurice is simple.
(They are solemn.)
(What about our food?)
(There isn't any.)
(He is feeling dejected.)
(Are you serious?)
(They are hurriedly eating.)
(They are busy stuffing themselves.)
(It is a sad, yet funny lunch time.)
We all have our license for child psychology, right?
There we learn...
children imitate their parents' way...
- of speaking and acting. - Right.
- They imitate how adults speak... - Yes.
- and act. - Right.
When we are with the children, let's speak in honorifics.
And let's not say bad things.
If you're about to say something bad, use honorifics.
You know what I mean?
If you talk like, "Why on earth did you do that?",
children will imitate us.
You want us to speak in honorifics to that?
"Why on earth did you do that, sir?" Like that?
"Why on earth did you do that, sir?"
(Honorifics sound a little unnatural.)
"May I ask why on earth you did it, sir?"
That could cause a real quarrel.
I know.
We should only criticize when the kids are not looking.
When kids are not looking. When there are only adults.
- It's okay when there's only us? - We can criticize.
- When there are only adults. - Criticism, dissing...
- contempt and scorn, all possible? - Yes.
Sometimes as adults,
- you need to communicate directly. - "Contempt and scorn"?
- So, Seo Jin... - Let's do this.
I saw an incinerator next to our house.
So we should do this.
"Director, please come to the incineration barn."
Take that as a signal.
Kids can take the word incinerator in the wrong way.
- We should call it "Meeting Point" - Meeting Point.
We must never say bad things in front of the kids.
Only when there are just adults.
When the kids are not there.
How should we call each other?
How do we call each other?
We'll call him "Director".
- Just do what's comfortable. - We should first be comfortable.
Okay. Let's say Mr. Kim.
"Hey, Mr. Lee."
"Mr. Lee, come here."
There's no Mr. Kim here.
Yes, that's right.
"Mr. Lee come here."
(Hey, Mr. Lee. Come here.)
All right. Mr. Lee.
I like it. It feels westernized.
Mr. Lee.
("Mr. Lee" rolls off the tongue easily.)
You like that, right?
You could be spending the whole day at the incinerator with me.
That'll be the first thing you say. "Mr. Lee, come to the incinerator."
"Mr. Lee, why don't we talk at the Meeting Point?"
It will be your loss if we go there.
(Will the heat be stronger at the incinerator tomorrow?)
- Grill the rest of the beef. - The rest?
Let's give our best tomorrow.
- We can do it. - We can do it!
(It is finally the day of the children's arrival!)
(This is the day we have all been waiting for.)
(What kind of children will fill up today's precious gathering?)
We only have a few hours before the children arrive.
What time is it now?
- They're here! - They are here!
That startled me.
(She is making a fuss.)
- They are here? - That startled me.
What time is it now?
- One hour. - One hour? There's not much time.
(It is one hour before the children's arrival.)
- It kind of feels weird. - Yes.
There's not much time left. We have to hurry up.
(Their heart is beating, and their hands are busy.)
I thought you were nervous.
- What are you making? - Flower crowns.
I'm making flower crowns.
I learned how to make something like a firecracker.
(Aunt So Min is making balloon firecrackers.)
- What will you make for lunch? - I'll put this in.
(She's impressed.)
That's so interesting. You learned a good thing.
I think we can sell this.
(Welcoming preparations seem to be going well.)
(Mr. Lee starts his final inspection.)
(Let me see.)
(He notices one place.)
Seung Gi, did you go up to that thing we made?
Did you go up to that thing we made yesterday?
We need to go and check it out.
It needs to be tight.
(The forest playground was caught on Mr. Lee's radar.)
(When you go into the deepest part of Jjigbaggol,)
(you will find a mysterious pine forest playground.)
Turn, turn.
That's good.
Make it a straight line. That's right.
That's right. Good.
(It's a bridge in the sky made only with ropes.)
Okay, it's done.
(Will the little kids like it?)
(Staring hard)
The yellow string is long, right?
(Will be all right?)
(He tries shaking it.)
- Did you tighten this? - Yes.
Compared to yesterday, it has stretched out.
That's because it's in the middle.
I think so.
I need to make the middle part shorter.
I think it's okay now.
(Following Mr. Lee's advice, he shortens the rope in the middle.)
(Thinking hard)
Do you think the kids will like this?
- This? - I'm not so sure.
When they come here, this is the only thing they can do.
There's nothing else they can play with.
- Keep them up here. - The other place had more things.
- Right. - But this is it for here.
Then we should do this.
I should put some logs around here to make it a gathering place.
- So they can sit there? - Yes.
Can you help me?
1, 2, 3.
It's heavy.
Wait. What's wrong? 1, 2, 3.
- Okay. - Why is it so heavy?
- Go back. - A bit more.
This is so heavy.
1, 2, 3. Okay.
Over here.
Let's put it here. 1, 2, 3.
(They carry heavy loads for the children.)
- What is this? - They can sit here.
- What? - They can sit and play like this.
They can watch the other kids play.
(Uncle Seung Gi is very positive.)
Shouldn't we have some more things they can play with?
We can think about putting up a swing later.
We need to put something more if we're to make a playground.
We have to keep adding things if it's not enough.
This is so pretty.
(The two are busily preparing for the welcoming ceremony.)
Let me take a look.
- It makes you curious, right? - Yes.
It makes you wonder what it would look like on you.
- It's so pretty. - I know.
Right.
I really like this.
- I think they will like it. - Right.
(They like the crowns even more.)
- They're so pretty. - This is great.
- They're really pretty. - I really like them.
- I know. - What time is it?
What time is it?
(By the way, what time is it?)
- 5 minutes? - There's 4 minutes left!
I better call them.
- Seung Gi! - Yes.
There's four minutes left. You have to hurry up.
- 4 minutes? - 4 minutes.
(Present time, 9:56)
What does she need for us to hurry?
She wants us to hurry up.
We are ready.
- Na Rae. - Yes?
Like this.
(They still have to make more garlands.)
- I'm feeling impatient. - This is done.
- We have four minutes left? - Yes.
I'm worried that kids might come all of a sudden.
They will arrive at any time now.
Okay.
We must quickly get things done.
This is so nice.
(A car is approaching to quiet Jjigbaggol.)
There are a lot of flowers and corns that you like.
Yes.
Yi Hyeon, there are corns. You love corns.
It's a pine forest on your left.
(It's a place where you can see pine forests.)
(Welcome to Jjigbaggol.)
We are here.
Do you see the house over there, Yi Hyeon?
- You can walk up there, right? - Yes.
Be brave.
(He cheerfully walks towards the house as he sings.)
(The first kid to arrive at Jjigbaggol.)
(Who is this kid?)
Mom, what is that?
- What is that? - What could it be?
Isn't that a bee?
It's not a bee.
If it's not a bee, what is it?
Maybe it's a car that saves trees.
"Maybe it's a car that saves trees"?
Or is it a helicopter that saves trees?
Is it?
It's going up high in the sky.
It's going up high in the air.
But we don't know if the first kid is a boy or a girl, do we?
No.
Look, it's a chicken.
(That means...)
- They are here? - They're here?
- They are here? - That startled me.
(She is making a fuss.)
- That startled me. - Where?
- They are here. - Really?
(Excited)
- They are here. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Yi Hyeon, there are Uncles and Aunts.
My goodness.
- Say hello to them. - Hello.
- He's so cute. - Oh, my.
- Is it a boy or a girl? - Where's Mr. Lee?
- I can't tell from a distance. - Director, Director.
- Isn't that a girl? - A girl?
- Mr. Lee! Mr. Lee! - The kid is a girl, right?
(Mr. Lee is taking care of an urgent business.)
- Hello. - With a loud voice.
Hello!
- Hello. - Hi.
- Hello. - Hello.
- The kid is so adorable. - Hello.
- I can't tell the kid's gender. - You've come a long way.
- Oh, my goodness. - So cute.
- It must've been a long ride here. - Yes.
- Is the kid a girl? - He is a boy.
- A boy? - Why is he so pretty?
He's so pretty that I couldn't tell if he was a boy or a girl.
- Hello. - Is the kid a boy or a girl?
What is your name?
What is your name? Answer with a loud voice.
It's Yi Hyeon.
- Yi Hyeon. - Yi Hyeon.
Say, "I'm Ma Yi Hyeon".
- His family name is Ma? - Yes, it's Ma.
Have a seat here.
(What is Seung Gi's first question to the first little kid?)
- Aren't you tired? - No.
- Did you have a good sleep? - Yes.
You are so cute.
He is really adorable.
- Yi Hyeon, look at Uncle. - Hello.
- Say, "Uncle, hello". - Hello.
- Look him in the face. - Take your time.
- You can take your time. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello, you're so cute.
Where do you live?
I live in Yi Hyeon's house.
I see. You live in your house.
That's right. You live in a house.
Of course you wouldn't live in a cave. You're so cute.
- Hurry. - Let's clean up.
I will clean this up.
(The Aunts got busy preparing for the welcoming party.)
When do we do this? When is the perfect timing?
When is the right timing?
- I'm worried it might startle him. - I know.
What made you decide to apply to this project?
- Because Yi Hyeon... - Yes?
He's been very curious since he was young.
He loves animals and insects.
So I read him many books about them at home.
- I wanted him to experience nature. - Yes?
But we live in Seoul and his dad and I are both busy.
I felt bad at how he couldn't experience those things.
But I came across the information by chance.
- Do you like stag beetles? - Yes.
- He answers so quick. - You should say, "Yes, sir".
He answered as soon as I said "stag beetles".
Can you guess what this is?
- Do you want me to do this for you? - Yes.
- Welcome... 1, 2, 3. - 1, 2, 3.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
(Embarrassed)
- Let's try that again. - I think the flower is pressing it.
- 1, 2, 3. - 1, 2, 3.
Welcome.
- Clap, Yi Hyeon. - Oh, wow!
- We put in too many flowers. - We failed at it.
That was unexpected.
Yi Hyeon, clap your hands like it's your birthday.
- Clap your hands. - Hello.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
We're both wearing overalls.
(Someone drew Yi Hyeon's attention.)
Yi Hyeon, do you want this? Do you want to try it?
(Yi Hyeon's staring at Uncle Mr. Lee.)
Seo Jin, come here.
What are you doing standing there alone?
- This is our last member. - This is not a photo shoot.
- Yi Hyeon, look over there. - There's another Uncle.
Yi Hyeon, say hello to Mr. Lee.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Do you like that Uncle? - Yes.
- Do you like Mr. Lee? - Yes.
He likes you.
He likes you, Seo Jin.
Na Rae, follow me to the incinerator.
(Na Rae, follow me to the incinerator.)
You want to see me at the incinerator already?
- Hey, it's the Meeting Point. - He's calling you out right away.
- I have something to say. - I have parents to take care of.
Are there any foods he can't eat?
- Spicy foods... - That's right.
He doesn't eat salty food, does he?
- He doesn't eat salty food. - He hates it, right?
- Salty... - And he can't eat sauces, yet.
Such as ketchup...
(Ketchup)
- He can't eat ketchup. - He can't eat ketchup.
(I peeled tomatoes all day...)
(waiting for you.)
But he peeled, grounded the tomatoes and made ketchup himself.
- We didn't buy it from the market. - He can eat it.
But he only takes a small dip.
- We love sauces. - That's right.
I bought this just in case.
I wrote down some information about Yi Hyeon.
- You wrote them down. - Thank you.
"He eats very small-sized food".
"When his mouth is full he can't chew so he spits it out".
"Or he gets nauseated sometimes".
"Please cut noodles and stems of vegetables into small pieces".
(Seo Jin listens carefully.)
Yi Hyeon's mother.
Are there any characters Yi Hyeon likes?
- Buzz from "Toy Story". - Really?
- For real? - He likes "Toy Story"?
Yes, he also likes Minions.
But the most important thing is...
we don't have three crucial things here.
So we have to show him the "Toy Story" ourselves.
We have to act them out in person.
Minions and other characters, because we don't have TVs.
Hey, show him the dinosaur.
- He really likes dinosaurs. - He does?
- He likes dinosaurs. - Show him.
He might get scared.
- Show him. - Yi Hyeon, do you like dinosaurs?
- She will show you a dinosaur. - Dinosaurs?
(They can't wait to see Na Rae.)
Yi Hyeon, Aunt went to transform into a dinosaur.
(A dinosaur lover is watching with a serious face.)
(Shrieking)
(A loud roar is coming from a habitat.)
(Yi Hyeon's eyes are quivering.)
- Did you hear the dinosaur? - Did you hear the dinosaur?
Where did it come from?
What kind of dinosaur is that?
- It's the dinosaur. - It's the dinosaur!
He's smiling.
(Na Rae comes rushing.)
- It's the dinosaur. - Bang!
- It's a T-rex. - Bang.
- He likes it. - He likes it.
- He really liked it. - He liked it.
He liked it, Na Rae.
What kind of dinosaur is that?
(Since Yi Hyeon likes it, Na Rae does the dinosaur again.)
Clap your hands.
- He likes it. - He likes it.
- He really likes it. - He likes it.
- Yi Hyeon, show her your dinosaur. - She's the Dinosaur Aunt.
(Is it my turn?)
Go.
Good job.
Yi Hyeon, that's great.
(He's imitating every detail, even a tremble.)
He's so cute.
(Even his facial expression is perfect.)
(Trembling)
Look at the detail. His trembling.
(Thump)
(It was a detailed expression by a dinosaur lover.)
- Oh, my. He's so cute. - He's adorable.
- Good job. - He's so cute.
Na Rae will probably have to do the dinosaur over and over again.
I can do it all day.
- Shall we go over there? - Yes.
- Oh, my. - Goodness.
- Yi Hyeon, say goodbye to Mommy. - Yi Hyeon.
- Have fun. Mom will be back later. - Mommy, goodbye.
- Mommy will come back soon, bye. - Goodbye.
- Have fun. - Say goodbye to Mommy.
- Yi Hyeon, goodbye. - Yi Hyeon, say goodbye to Mom.
Don't worry about him.
Oh, my. He's so cute.
- Please look after him. - Okay.
Goodbye.
- Call me if something happens. - All right.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
(She takes heavy steps back.)
Shall we go over there?
(There are a lot more places to show you in Jjigbaggol.)
(The nation's porter has now become Jjigbaggol's porter.)
(Yi Hyeon's stuff)
(Seo Jin stores them so they won't get mixed up.)
- Do you know what this is? - Yes.
- What is this? - A blueberry.
Oh, a blueberry.
Yi Hyeon, how did you know it was a blueberry at a glance?
You are so smart.
What was this again?
A blueberry.
(Yi Hyeon is deeply interested in animals and plants.)
You know so much.
Yi Hyeon.
Come down here, please.
(He hesitates because there is soil.)
Look here.
- Do you know what this is? - Yes.
- What is it? - Eggplant.
Eggplant? It's close.
It's something you like.
(Yi Hyeon likes tofu, zucchini and other soft vegetables.)
Eggplant.
(He likes eating freshly cut cucumbers and carrots even more.)
Eggplant?
- This is a zucchini. - Zucchini.
- Yes, zucchini. Do you like it? - Yes.
You eat healthy food too.
(He sees Uncle Seung Gi stepping down.)
(He's being cautious.)
(Yi Hyeon tiptoes because he is not used to the soil.)
Have you been to a place like this?
(He only saw these plants in books.)
What do you think this is?
(Now, he is seeing them in real life.)
Tomato.
How did you know that?
How did you know they were tomatoes? They are not even red yet.
- This is also a tomato, right? - Yes.
It is red.
- It has become red? - Yes.
This one is hard. Yi Hyeon, this one is tricky.
Do you know what this is?
- Onion. - Onion!
(He knows it's onion even though it's buried in the ground.)
How did you know it was onion?
- Do you know what this is? - Yes.
- What is it? - Chili.
You even know chili.
Can you eat chili?
I can't eat it.
- You can't? - No.
- Because it's too spicy. - Yes.
You have a runny nose. Come here.
Here. It's okay.
(Uncle Seung Gi wipes Yi Hyeon's nose with his hands.)
That's good. Let's go.
(Uncle Seung Gi is also trying to adjust.)
I wonder how Seung Gi is doing?
It's so peaceful.
(But Seo Jin is in a rush.)
(He starts preparing lunch as soon as the first child arrived.)
You already started?
Seo Jin has started preparing lunch already.
In order to stir-fry rice for omurice...
- You have to chop everything. - You have to chop them.
You can't cut the vegetables into the stir-fried rice.
- Yes, so chop everything before. - That's right.
(They have to finely chop all the ingredients for the children.)
Why did you decide to make omurice?
Why are you saying that suddenly?
(This is absurd.)
Do you want to go there...
for a moment too? Follow me.
- Both of you, follow me. - No, no.
We'll go there in one go.
Come to the Meeting Point.
(The incinerator is Jjigbaggol's popular spot.)
- Are you good with knives? - No.
I knew it.
How small do I have to chop these?
Don't you have to almost grind them?
- What? - Right?
- You can't grind carrots though. - Right.
Should I try it?
Let me see how small I can chop them.
Sure, try it out.
1, 2...
- Hello. - Hello.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
- Come on out, girls! - Your friends are here.
- Friends, Yi Hyeon. - Let's get out.
Come on out.
Hello.
- Hello. - Say hello.
Hello.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. She's so cute.
She so pretty. Yi Hyeon, your friend is here.
There's a cute little guy over there.
Do you want to go and give them a high five?
No? All right. Okay.
- Slowly, slowly. - Okay.
- Hello. - You have a friend here.
Hello.
Shall we say hello first?
(There are not one, but two more friends?)
Go and look.
What is it?
Seo Jin!
(She is making a big fuss.)
- Seo Jin. - What?
What's the fuss?
- There is a foreigner. - What?
- There is a foreigner. - They are here.
- There is a foreigner. - Don't lie.
(They take big steps.)
They are foreigners, right?
They are using English, right?
Yes.
- What? - What will we do?
- I am right. - Yes.
(Foreigners)
And two babies.
What's your name?
- Bu... yuk. - Bu...
Brooke!
Ah, Brooke.
Her name is Brooke.
This is Ma Yi Hyeon. Yi Hyeon.
- Yi Hyeon, how old are you? - Let's go to him.
- 4 years. - He's 4 years old.
How old are you, Brooke?
- 5 years. - 5 years!
- She is your older sister? - What's your name, honey?
Gace.
- Grace. - Grace.
- Grace, how old are you. - Grace is bigger.
Grace is bigger?
How old are you, Grace?
- I'm 5 years. - You're 5 years old.
- If you go up, they'll be waiting. - Okay.
- See you later. - Okay.
- Bye. - Say bye-bye.
- Bye-bye. - See you soon, Bye-bye.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello. - Who are all these people?
(They only speak in Korean.)
- Do you want to run to them? - They are speaking in English.
- Hello. - Hello.
Can she speak Korean?
- She speaks good Korean. - She does?
- Nice to meet you. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Shall we go up? - Let's go.
- She is like that at first. - She is shy at first?
- I want to go to the donkey. - You're so brave.
What do you want to see?
- Shall we look around there? - Shall we ride horses?
- You want to go? - Let's go.
- Shall we go together? - Okay. Bye.
Let's go there.
Let's go and see.
Mr. Lee? That's our Mr. Lee.
(Mr. Lee, the chef, is preparing lunch.)
Brooke, this is so cool here.
Come on!
You're a good runner.
- Come on! - This way, please.
- Hello. - Hello.
(He stares at her.)
Pop!
(She's making noise.)
What are you doing?
You have to say hello.
It's Uncle Seo Jin.
- They are twins. - Go there.
- Both of them are here? - Yes.
Your necklace is so pretty. Look, I have this too.
(Ta-da)
It's cool, isn't it?
Look at this. It's cool, isn't it?
(Laughing)
Brooke, would you like a gift?
- Look. - She loves flowers.
Like this.
(She reveals the welcoming gift, the flower crown.)
(She is interested.)
Isn't it pretty?
There we go.
I made this personally.
(The flower crown sits on Brooke's head.)
- It's so pretty. - It's so pretty.
- What is her name. - It's Grace.
- Grace. - Grace.
What's your name?
- My name is So Min. - So Min?
- Nice to meet you. I'm Dennis. - Dennis.
- Nice to meet you. - Yes.
Please take good care of my babies.
I will. Thank you for coming.
(A parent's concern over their child is universal.)
Look here!
I made this myself.
Isn't it pretty? Do you like it?
- Brooke has one too. - Shall I put it on you too?
- Do you want to put it on? - Shall I put it on for you?
- Come down here. - Okay.
- She's so pretty. - It's a puppy.
- It's a puppy. - It's a puppy.
You're so pretty.
- You're so pretty. - You're so pretty.
You're so pretty.
- Hello. - Hello.
Did you say hello to Uncle?
- Nice to meet you. I'm Dennis. - Dennis.
What's your name?
- My name is Seo Jin. - Seo Jin?
Please take good care of my babies.
(Take good care of me, Uncle.)
- Her name is? - I'll do it for you.
- She is Grace. - Grace.
- That is Brooke. - Brooke.
I'm Canadian and my wife is Korean.
I see.
(Brooke discovers the balloons.)
(She takes out the green one.)
Grace, you take one too.
You take one...
Pink. The pink one.
(Grace chooses a pink balloon without hesitation.)
Do you want balloons? Do you want to see this?
I want a pink one.
Do you want to see what this is?
1, 2, 3.
They are twins, but their characters are different.
They look a little different too.
Brooke is more feminine.
- Grace is very active. - Really?
- Brooke nags at Grace a lot. - Excuse me?
Brooke nags at Grace a lot.
If they do fight, it's probably because of that.
(She is writing everything down.)
(Mr. Lee has read all two pages of their special characteristics.)
Do you have any questions? Have you read it all?
- You ask. - What?
(He slips the papers.)
Do they eat well?
Yes. If it's tasty, they eat a lot.
Grace is a good eater. She finishes in 20 minutes.
- Then she comes right down. - And Brooke?
Brooke is a good eater too, but she takes a long time.
She takes a long time.
She won't let you clear the table, saying she will eat everything.
(Grace and Brooke are twins, but they are different.)
You have to be equally nice to them.
- Yes, please do. - Right.
- You have to be fair with them. - Yes.
Please don't compare. They don't do older sister, younger sister.
- They're friends. - They're friends.
(She writes twice as more notes since they are twins.)
(Taking a look)
That's done.
(Brooke seems to like the hat.)
I want to take this off and put this on.
Really? You want to put that on?
(His hands are very fast.)
(He goes straight to Brooke.)
There.
- Say goodbye to Mom. - Take it off.
- There. - Help her put on the hat.
(Whose sweet voice was that?)
- I think you have to fix the back. - What?
You have to tighten it at the back.
It's suits you.
(He stares at her.)
- We have to tighten it. - It's a good item.
Put it on.
- You want to go up? - There's a hole here.
- Is that okay? - Can you wash your hands?
Here. Soap.
(Making bubbles)
Good job.
(This tone of voice sounds very unfamiliar.)
You are washing your hands so well.
Brooke, are you finished now?
Let's dry your hands.
(He even wipes her little hands.)
(There you go.)
Just leave it there. You're so smart.
- Shouldn't you help a friend? - If it were a different child...
- I want to have a tangerine. - What?
- You want a tangerine? - Yes.
- Do you want one? - Yes.
Okay, then.
(Mr. Lee picks up a knife right away...)
(at Brooke's command.)
(He's so sweet.)
One more?
- Is it good? - Yes.
(Yes!)
- Do you want more? - Yes.
Have another one after you swallow that.
(Have another one after you swallow that.)
(It's hard to believe that Seo Jin is actually being sweet.)
Do you like oranges, Brooke?
Yes.
- Do you like bananas too? - Yes.
- Do you want some bananas? - Yes.
(Do you want some bananas?)
(He takes a banana.)
- How does a banana sound? - Good.
(This is only the beginning of Uncle Seo Jin's sweet side.)
Sir, ma'am,
- Take care of them. - don't worry about them.
We'll let you know every day...
how they're doing and whether they had their meals.
- Don't worry. - Okay. Thank you.
- Goodbye. - Thank you.
Don't worry.
- Brooke, Grace. Bye! - Bye.
You have to put glue on the circle.
That's right.
They're not even looking at us.
(How can they do that?)
Are they okay?
I guess so.
- Can you carry it alone? - It's someone older.
- He's doing it himself. - Do you need help?
(Acting manly)
He's so cute.
(The third member stands out while dragging his suitcase.)
It must be heavy.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Say hi. - Hi.
(They wave at each other.)
It's hard to go up this path since it's uphill, right?
Should I push you from behind?
- No, I can do it myself. - Can you do it?
Okay, go ahead.
(He's manly enough to carry his suitcase by himself.)
Goodness.
The path is such a downhill.
- It's uphill. - Uphill.
(Who's this third member that is unusually cute?)
Do you know how to brush your teeth?
Should I do it for you?
(A world of baby-sitting opens up which even Seo Jin didn't know of.)
Have a seat.
(What happened to your face?)
She's opening the chicken coop.
(They prevent accidents,)
(and take turns eating.)
(They have no time for a break.)
(The reality of babysitting hits hard on the four adults.)
(There is no definite answer,)
(but no one is confident either.)
(That tastes bad.)
(Don't be surprised just yet.)
(This is only the beginning.)
(It's only two now?)
(Little Forest)
