(His heart pounds.)
(Yoo In Na and Kang Ha Neul's fluttering first encounter.)
(These two people have been connected through books.)
(Should we get to know each other?)
(Similar preferences)
(Similar sentiments)
(They're going to record an audiobook with their voices.)
- Nice to see you. - Hello.
(Funding Together is full of energy again today.)
Today we're going to watch In Na's video.
Every time we introduce our own project,
we wear fancy clothes.
I wore very fancy clothes when I introduced mine.
I chose this one after much consideration.
- She's like a rainbow rice cake. - "Rainbow rice cake".
(In Na's outfit reminds us of a rainbow rice cake.)
You didn't get to meet Kang Ha Neul last time.
- Yes. - That's right.
We finally met.
One person is sitting here with an awkward smile again today.
- I know. - I'm happy she's here with us.
- It's Ji Sun. - Hello.
(Nice to meet you, Park Ji Sun.)
She's here.
Hello, everyone. I'm Park Ji Sun.
It's the change of seasons, so be careful not to catch a cold.
Be careful of rhinitis and allergies.
Always stay healthy.
Good job.
I like that she mentioned the change of seasons.
I heard earlier that she was going to appear on our show.
And I was curious why.
- Why? - What are you saying?
I'm related with everyone here.
- All of us? - Yes.
- As for Do Yeon, - What about the two of you?
We became comedians at the same time.
- Oh, I see. - Yes.
We're as close as people who went to school or worked together.
That's right. We performed in many skits together.
Which ones did you do?
- We did many ridiculous skits. - Right.
Let me explain how bad they were.
I felt sorry for viewers paying for the TV license fee.
One of our skits disappeared after a week.
- What did you do? - After the show,
people wrote critical comments on the online message board.
- "What is this?" - "What is this?"
Show us, please show us.
- I want to see it. - We did it more than 10 years ago.
- Nobody remembers it. - Do it.
- I say 1 for 10 dollars. - And I say 2 for...
- We appear with a suitcase. - With a suitcase.
I put it down.
This is so embarrassing.
(This is the comedy skit they did about 10 years ago.)
(Peddlers came to sell CDs.)
This is embarrassing.
(Smiling broadly)
Hello, everyone. We're here to introduce nostalgic old pop CDs.
It's 1 for 10 dollars and 2 for 20 dollars.
(What is this?)
(Puzzled)
This is where you laugh.
There is no difference between 1 for 10 and 2 for 20.
Because people usually give a discount if you buy more.
- It needs an explanation. - But it's still 2 for 20 dollars.
We already failed.
(It was their legendary skit in August 2007.)
(We brought CDs from the 70s and 80s.)
(It's 1 for 10 dollars and 2 for 20 dollars.)
(The audience showed no response.)
The first song.
(Singing)
1 for 10 dollars.
(The audience finally laughed at their efforts.)
(It's 1 for 10 dollars)
(It's 2 for 20 dollars)
It's 2 for 20 dollars
(They didn't sell much and left the stage.)
After the director watched our skit he said,
"Your skit is not boring".
"It's ahead of the times".
"It will be funny after 10 years".
Isn't today about 10 years since he said that?
It's not enough.
- Hasn't it been 10 years yet? - We may have to wait 10 more years.
I still don't understand it.
- Our show was on air yesterday. - That's right.
On the preview of this week...
When I watched In Na and Ha Neul being together,
I did expect some sweetness between them.
But I had to brush my teeth again because they were too sweet.
They were too sweet.
You said it'd be too awkward and uncomfortable meeting him.
You said it'll be too uncomfortable meeting him.
But we met after all.
(I met Ha Neul after all.)
- "We met after all". - I'm curious.
I was really nervous.
- I can understand. - She must've been nervous.
Hold on, do you see this table setting?
Perhaps this means...
- It's quite... - There's something going on.
- This is perfect. - What a surprise.
- This calls for some popcorn. - So we should shut up and watch?
So it's going to be like a movie?
- When I came in today, - It's like a movie theatre.
I almost sat down here.
- He looks like the seat. - Right.
- Is it going to be like... - That's right.
- Really? - watching a romantic movie?
(The romantic movie with Yoo In Na and Kang Ha Neul begins now.)
(A sweet voice that melts people's hearts.)
(Yoo In Na has a sweet voice like honey.)
(She participated in various activities using her voice.)
(Her biggest hobby is reading books.)
(She combined her voice and her hobby.)
(She decided to make an audiobook.)
(Instead of making it alone,)
(she wanted to make it with someone else.)
(He is the partner of Yoo In Na's Audiobook.)
(I'm Kang Ha Neul.)
(Will a movie-like encounter happen?)
Even the weather is so nice.
(Under the bright autumn sunshine,)
(it's a good day to read.)
(Someone walks in the bookstore.)
(He looks like a fleecy cloud in the sky.)
It's Ha Neul.
He's a pure young man.
(Why did he come here?)
He's dressed comfortably.
I think he likes comfortable clothes.
(Looking around)
He is so handsome.
- He's handsome. - Yes, he is.
He reminds me of a nice church boy.
But I can never find a man like that when I go to church.
Is it that way? A?
But his bag makes him look like a Buddhist.
(Which book caught his attention?)
("Almost Touching but Not in Touch")
"Almost Touching but Not in Touch".
"My body unconsciously moved outside the umbrella."
That again! It's like a scene from Toy's music video.
(The only thing that touched him was In Na's letter.)
It feels like it happened a long time ago.
I know.
(In Na comes humming.)
Look at the way she wore a cardigan. She spruced up.
She draped it around her shoulders.
She's not even properly wearing it.
Look at her.
(See you at the bookstore on September 19 at 1pm.)
"See you at the bookstore on September 19 at 1pm".
Did you arrange a meeting?
Almost touching but not in touch
Is this the right way?
Was he waiting there?
I'm nervous.
The person waiting is more nervous.
That's when people feel the most nervous and excited.
(Ha Neul hides and watches In Na coming.)
Why is he hiding? They could've just met.
Why am I so nervous?
They met to read a book together. Why are they so nervous?
(They're in the same space but haven't met up yet.)
- They're filming a drama. Gosh. - They are.
What are they doing?
(Watching intently)
(In Na looks for the book.)
"Almost Touching but Not in Touch" is the keyword here.
Does the book hold a hint?
On the location of the meeting?
Keep watching.
(In Na goes in the opposite direction.)
- My gosh. - No.
(Eyes closed)
(She didn't notice him.)
- We're just watching and... - I know.
I can't do this. Not anymore.
He was really nervous too. I felt so tense.
(In Na reaches the shelf Ha Neul was at.)
- Not this kind of editing again. - It's a keyword.
- She found it. - She found the book.
- Is there a note? - Oh, it was the title.
There's something inside.
What is it? What's wrong?
(Before In Na arrived,)
(Ha Neul wrote a note.)
Do you like my reply?
Oh, he left a location.
- He just left clues. - Yes.
- To make her look for him. - This is a good blind date idea.
This is so exciting.
- It's better than meeting outright. - Right.
(If she follows the trail of notes, she'll find Ha Neul.)
It's just like a movie.
(Ha Neul left notes in multiple books.)
He left the coordinates.
Let's go to A50.
A50-1.
(Deeply engrossed)
(What book did Ha Neul leave here?)
(Curious)
("At the Same Time, Perhaps We")
Expressing feelings through titles.
(Perhaps we were in the same place!)
Oh, my goodness.
(You're almost there.)
Don't do things like this.
What am I to do?
If it's too much, go home! Just go home.
(She heads to the next book and note.)
He's showing you where to go.
(Where did this note send In Na to?)
(Ha Neul's even closer now.)
- I can't... - What...
What am I to do?
(Embarrassed)
(In Na moves in closer to the third book.)
- My goodness. - Gosh.
First...
What is he doing?
They're both carrying eco bags.
What a picture.
(In Na hasn't noticed yet.)
Hello, In Na.
(Falling to the floor)
(An angry audience)
That was uncalled for.
Wasn't that an overreaction?
Is this a drama?
- It wasn't that surprising. - You were like Apolo Ohno.
- An overreaction. - He tapped her back and she fell.
- That was Ohno. - Can we watch it in slow motion?
- I request a review. - VAR. Let's use VAR.
- Watch. - Watch.
Hello, In Na.
- It wasn't that bad. - That?
To fall like that, you must see a ghost.
Look, let me tap you.
That gesture, that was uncalled for.
- You twirled halfway too. - She did.
She made sure to...
twirl and fall to the camera so it caught her.
No, I...
Anyone can tell that she had gone to the salon...
three days in a row to fling her hair.
Her roots are perfectly dyed.
Look at her fall.
I'd gotten my roots dyed that very day.
- You're amazing. - Wait.
- The hair fling. - Weren't you sick that day?
I was sick.
You look so healthy.
After I woke up and got there,
I felt better, as if it were a lie.
Isn't that a lie then?
(Isn't that a lie then?)
- A total lie. - A total lie.
(They meet just like in a movie.)
Hello.
- He picked up your cardigan. - What's going on?
Sorry. I'm sorry.
(They keep saying hi.)
It's this book.
- He got it for her. - It's too high up.
- Hello. - Were you that surprised?
He picked "The Beautiful Night Sky" because his name means "sky".
- Was this your first meeting? - Yes.
My gosh.
- Then you saw... - I crept up on you.
- Did you watch me wander about? - No, no.
You found them much better than me.
Did I? It wasn't easy finding these books.
I know. It took me a while too.
- I'm so sorry. - No, no.
I wasn't surprised at all.
- You weren't surprised? - Sorry.
- It's so good to see you. - Same here.
You're both so nervous around each other.
We need to brace ourselves today.
Did you notice the camera zoom in on her hands when she got fidgety?
They don't usually zoom in but they did today.
- Just her hands. - Like in a drama.
I'm more fascinated that...
you noticed the fact that they filmed it.
It's really like they met on a blind date.
I bet you two were popular too.
That was so insincere.
No, I mean it.
I suddenly remembered that Do Yeon and I went...
on a three-on-three blind date.
- After your début? - After our début.
Me, Do Yeon and a senior called Shin Go Eun.
The three of us had never dated before.
(8 years ago, they performed together.)
(Park Ji Sun, Shin Go Eun)
(They'd been single all their lives, but they were happy.)
(They even went on blind dates together.)
- Right. - Go Eun got married recently.
- That's right, in Hawaii. - Yes.
- Go Eun's married? - She's married.
- For real? - It's just us now.
In Hawaii.
She got married in Hawaii?
Did she marry a Maori?
- No. - A Korean.
A Maori? My gosh.
- A Korean? - He was fully dressed.
A South Korean.
Go Eun got married?
- Very recently. - For real?
(In a daze)
Ji Sun, you and Ha Neul go way back?
Even before he was often on TV,
I knew him.
Oh, Ha Neul was on my show once.
On "Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook".
(Ji Sun was on the panel.)
(From KBS Media)
We met on the show...
and we were both excited, so we asked for a photo.
We got one of the writers to take it for us,
but she was more excited than both of us.
- Is that you and Ha Neul? - That's Ha Neul.
- I can recognize him. - It's Ha Neul.
I'm holding up two thumbs and he made the peace sign.
(We can only see the fingers.)
- Me too. - So we...
What shall we do?
- We can... - It's begun.
Shall we sit down and talk?
Do you like coffee?
- Yes. Do you? - Yes, I do.
I always drink iced Americano.
- So do I. - Is that so?
- You have similar tastes. - I like it weak.
- A weak iced Americano? - Yes.
- They're so awkward. - This place...
I don't know if they serve weak iced americanos.
- It's available anywhere. - Okay.
I can just ask they make it weaker.
My gosh. Just imagine that...
a drama scriptwriter wrote that.
- This is fun. I'm so engrossed. - It's fun.
- I'm inhaling popcorn. - Hong Chul.
- Were you that hungry? - This is great to watch.
- Here, here... - Here, here...
- It's fine. - I like it.
I love it.
- Outdoors? - That's a beautiful place.
It's so green.
I gave you a bad scare.
Of all the meetings I had,
this was the most surprising.
Sorry. I was too cheeky.
I wanted to surprise you.
- Well done. I'll pay you back. - Sorry.
(Laughing awkwardly)
Did you read these?
- Yes, I read the notes. - You read them?
- Actually, I was... - Yes.
He's getting something out.
- My letter? - Yes.
- No, don't take it out! - I have it.
- The one you wrote at the store? - Yes, that one.
I kept it exactly as I got it.
- My gosh. - It's all here.
- He kept everything. - Gosh.
- Even the wrapper. - I kept it all.
Thank you so much.
I really wanted to write you a reply.
Those were his replies.
- Yes. - It's quite old-fashioned.
How fun. Do you like old school things?
Yes, I like it a lot.
(So...)
(An awkward smile)
The conversation stalled.
Look. Why would they film that?
- Look, look. - They're fidgeting.
(A nervous first meeting)
Last week, the camera zoomed in on the pollack.
- I saw the pollack. - Pollack and watery pork ribs.
The hammer too.
- They even played "Nogarcia". - "Nogarcia".
(Same subtitles, different feel)
(Awkward)
(Fidgeting)
(Nervous and tense hammering)
(Fidgeting)
(Nervous and tense first meeting)
- It's good to... - Yes.
- It's good to meet you. - Yes.
I enjoyed yesterday's episode.
- You watched it? - Yes, of course.
- You play Yong Shik? - Yes.
That's all I see right now.
That's just fine.
(She bursts out laughing at a small joke.)
I enjoyed watching it yesterday too.
- Thank you. - How can...
you look so naive, almost as if you're dumb?
(Laughing)
- That much stupidity... - I'm a little dumb.
("When the Camellia Blooms", the drama Ha Neul is in)
(He shows off his innocent image while using a dialect.)
(He must be insane.)
- That much stupidity... - I'm a little dumb.
- makes me comfortable. - Indeed.
(After spending 25 seconds talking about the drama...)
- The weather is so nice, isn't it? - It sure is.
My goodness.
They're talking about the weather now.
- Well... - Yes?
- How should we call each other? - How should we?
I'll call you my dear
- Please be quiet. - Okay.
(You have to be a mindful audience.)
I can refer to you as a senior if that's fine with you.
There's no need for that.
Why don't you just call me In Na?
- Really? - Just call me In Na.
Sure.
- Do your friends call you Ha Neul? - Yes.
You can call me garlic, as it sounds friendly.
- Garlic? - Yes, that's my nickname.
- Why? - My actual name is Kim Ha Neul.
- That's why since I was little, - It sounds like garlic.
people called me that as it sounds like my name.
That's what they called me.
Then I can choose between Garlic, Ha Neul, and Yong Shik.
- I'll call you whatever. - Sounds good.
- That sounds good. - Okay.
Even though you're so busy, I heard that you agreed...
to do the audiobook because you love books.
- I love books... - Right.
and above all, I just wanted to work with you.
What?
What a straightforward guy.
He said his line.
Did you see how he made his move?
He's doing this because of you.
What an honest garlic he is.
My goodness.
- He came in strong. - You must've been surprised.
- I... - Isn't it moving too quickly?
- We have to... - I want a refund.
- I can't watch anymore. - We're a team.
This is getting fun.
- Lucky you. - He's doing this for you.
Above all, he's doing it for In Na.
I love books...
and above all, I just wanted to work with you.
(It's touching even after hearing it again.)
I also love reading.
I see.
- The shadow is covering me now. - Yes.
I'm dark now, aren't I? One side of my face is darker now.
You're still beautiful.
- "You're still beautiful." - What's up with him?
(Ha Neul's second line)
He's not that type of a guy.
"You're still beautiful."
Do you guys kiss after?
Now I know why she was so distracted all along.
Sir, are you watching this?
I'm speechless.
You two literally just met up at a bookstore.
Hong Chul and I...
even touched our wrists last week.
(They had real physical touch unlike In Na and Ha Neul,)
(but it just felt like a whole different genre.)
My heart fluttered because people around me talked about us.
Really?
I was surprised that you did that too.
I'm on Funding Together for you.
(Are things going to start moving fast between these two too?)
(Seriously?)
I'm on Funding Together for you.
I'm on it for the pay.
(She sure is a comedienne.)
- For sure. - Right.
- One side of my face is darker now. - You're still beautiful.
- What a bold garlic he is. - They look so good together.
Did you see how excited people are...
after hearing that we're recording the audiobook together?
Yes, I heard that a lot of people are interested.
You have an amazing voice.
- Not at all. - I watched your drama yesterday...
and your voice sounded so good even though you were a rural guy.
- It's not that great. - It's amazing.
It's an honour to hear that from Honey D.
They keep swinging back and forth.
It's as if they're on some ride.
I'll have to work on it.
- You really have a beautiful voice. - You're being nice.
Now,
- first, our big goal today... - Yes.
is to decide the book that we're going to record.
- This is why they met up. - Right.
You got it together and mentioned the books.
We have to decide the book that we're going to use.
Wouldn't it be good if we researched on...
- what books people like? - That sounds great.
Have you been to an independent bookstore?
Why don't we try working there?
That sounds great!
- Really? - Yes.
You don't seem like you're shy at all.
I'm not shy and I need the money.
- I need to make money. - Yes, you need the money.
(Laughing at every little joke)
- He added in a little humour. - He's a funny guy.
Their voices sound so great that it feels like...
- we're watching a movie. - I love it.
Let's go to an independent bookstore,
recommend books, and talk to people.
- Okay. - He's good with everything.
You're very easy-going.
You don't seem to say no to what I say.
Everything's fine. I'm fine with everything.
It's good to experience anything.
How about this then?
I have another idea.
I wondered if we sound nice together.
We?
(We?)
You called yourselves "we".
(Hearts beating fast at the idea of "us".)
What if we do a live show...
to see if people agree that our voices sound nice together?
- That sounds great. - Are you good with it all?
Yes.
He's okay with everything. He'd be okay if you asked him out.
He's good with everything because he's with In Na.
I guess he was a big fan of her.
Then why don't we...
recommend a few books...
to each other that we think the other person would like?
- That sounds good. - He's good with everything.
- Shall we? - I can...
think of a few at the top of my head.
I can think of two books that are perfect for you.
- Okay. - Right?
- They're so close. - They're going to hold hands.
Do you like writing?
(Making a fuss)
- I can't deal with you people! - You're going to hold hands.
(Completely focused)
I can think of a few books right now.
(They head back in to pick out books for each other.)
What is that?
(Noh Hong Chul the Genius)
That's a fine bag you chose to carry.
- It's yours. - What a bright girl you are.
You handed them out to us last week.
Don't mind it.
Why not?
"Do what you want." Isn't that great? Do you want this?
- This? - You can have it. I don't need it.
Why?
(Disappointed)
She doesn't need it.
She took it with her to give it away.
Why would you not need it?
I'll really give it to you later.
Really? Thank you.
It's a great bag.
(What kind of books will they recommend each other?)
I feel like my favourite books...
- wouldn't suit you. - Me?
Yes, the books that I just enjoy for myself.
So I couldn't think of many to recommend you.
I read a lot of books on meditation.
Like "A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose"?
- Yes! - Really?
- I was thinking of that. - I love that book.
- Really? - Are you serious?
- That's fascinating. - Isn't that so cool?
You literally mentioned one book.
- How can that be the one? - Exactly.
Should we meet back here in 10 minutes?
I think that should be enough.
- Books to recommend each other. - Five books each.
- What books will they choose? - Right. I'm curious.
(What books do I want to recommend you?)
They make everything look like a movie.
(The first step taken together for the audiobook)
This isn't here either?
Ha Neul already has one.
I love people who give books as gifts.
(Looking over)
- What? He's covering it. - He covered the screen.
(Heart fluttering)
(This is too sweet.)
(They continue to find books...)
(for each other.)
She's peeking to see if he's still picking.
(Choosing books for you)
- He's being very thoughtful. - They met again!
Did you see how she hid the books?
She's hiding her books from him.
It has to be a surprise.
(Choosing the last book for him)
(Heading over to meet you now)
- What was that? - What's going on?
- What was that? - What on earth was that?
This is...
Did you just punch me?
- It felt like a punch. - Sorry.
- Just kidding. - Hold on.
(Let's pay and get going.)
I wonder what books you chose for me.
- Right? - Yes.
I'm also really curious.
Are you showing each other the books now?
- Yes, after leaving the store. - I'm curious.
I'm going to have a date like that on a blind date someday.
- Are you really fine with driving? - Of course.
I'm fine.
Thank you for the ride then.
She's so cool.
- She's driving. - I have my seatbelt on.
Let's get going now.
Since it's sunny outside, why don't we head over to...
- the Han River? - The Han River?
You didn't even say it simultaneously.
- They were fascinated. - That wasn't a surprise.
I'll start driving now.
- Don't worry. - I'm not worried.
(Awkward)
They feel awkward because they're so close to each other.
Exactly.
They look so awkward.
Thinking that I'll be meeting you today,
I thought about what kind of songs I could play for you.
- Really? - Yes.
- I thought of... - She picked out songs too.
- two songs I wanted to listen to. - She's so considerate.
I think one of the songs suits today's theme.
Let me play it for you.
- It's making my heart flutter. - This is so refreshing.
(The melody of the song chases away the awkwardness.)
Doesn't the song already sound great?
(Feeling proud)
The scenery feels different all of a sudden.
- It does, doesn't it? - Yes.
That's the power of music.
There are many times when the scenery seems different with music.
(With the addition of music,)
This is really nice.
(these familiar sights feel new to them.)
This is like a music video.
(They are happier as they're spending time together.)
(Her audiobook will shine more because they will make it together.)
(Just having you by my side gives me a lot of strength)
Did you hear the lyrics?
- It gives her a lot of strength. - Right.
"Just having you by my side gives me a lot of strength."
(Ha Neul is by her side for moral support.)
Seriously. I really didn't know where to start.
I was lost on how to tackle this project.
But I'm really glad that you're joining me.
I'm also lucky to have such an opportunity.
By the way, the song is making my heart flutter.
- Ha Neul's... - This is so heart-fluttering.
(They move forward together for the audiobook.)
As for the next song,
I was reminded of this song after watching your drama.
Okay.
I think it'd be a perfect song for your character's theme song.
- Theme song? - Yes.
- I want you to listen to it... - What kind of song could that be?
with that in mind.
(The innocent side of Yong Shik stands out in the drama.)
("I'm a Fool" by Dick Family)
- It does suit my character. - Right?
(Your lips are beautiful)
"Your lips are beautiful."
(When you smile with your lips)
That's such an old song.
He seems really happy.
That's why I like my character.
(I'm a fool)
Your character was so nice and innocent.
(He totally likes it.)
- This song is nice. - "I'm a fool."
(Looking around)
We're supposed to go up there, right?
It's easier if you take that road.
But you can still go that way.
(GPS Kang guides In Na.)
I'll take the easy route.
He's guiding her through.
That's so nice. She doesn't know the way,
- He's giving her directions. - so he keeps guiding her.
- Do I take the road at the end? - Yes, at the very end.
- That one? - Yes, the one at the very end.
Can I go?
- If not, we'll just come back. - Exactly.
(He encourages her when she doesn't feel confident.)
Just relax.
It's like both of us are driving together.
- Right. This is nice. - You're helping me.
- I'm not driving, - Okay.
- but I'll pretend I am driving. - That's so reassuring.
- Do I take the road at the end? - Yes, at the very end.
- The Han River. - They arrived at the Han River.
- How nice. - Look at the weather.
- Everything is perfect. - It's a million-dollar view.
My gosh, look at the sky.
- Right. Isn't it so beautiful? - Ha Neul, look at the sky!
(Ha Neul, look at the sky!)
That was quite...
You should get up and look at the sky.
"Ha Neul, look at the sky." "Get up and look at the sky."
- My gosh. - "Get up and look at the sky"?
She's driving. He can't say that to her.
(Looking around)
- What is she looking for? - The trunk...
If you don't have to lock it separately, it's probably opened.
- She opened it. - What is it?
- She opened it. - He was wrong.
- What is it? - I opened it, right?
Yes, you opened the bonnet.
- This is weird. - Hold on.
- What? Why is the bonnet opened? - Wait. Let me go and check.
What's happening?
- That was no good. - That's charming.
I should try that too. I should open a bonnet instead.
That was cute. Wasn't that nice, Do Yeon?
- Great. Open the bonnet. - Open the bonnet.
This is useful, you know.
The bonnet is opened.
It's all good.
There's no button on the key.
- You can just... - Okay.
- press that button. - Goodness.
(He extends his arm toward her.)
And you can open the trunk from the back now.
- Really? - Yes.
- I'll go see if this opens. - Okay.
- You're right. - Gosh.
- She brought a picnic basket. - A picnic basket.
What could be inside?
- Shall we get going? - Yes.
What's that?
- This? - She must've been ambitious.
- I'll explain it at the river. - Okay.
You took out the basket I've only seen...
- This picnic basket? - in movies from the trunk.
I can carry it if it's heavy.
- No, it's okay. I'll carry it. - Is that okay? Okay.
It makes me wonder how it's possible...
to have a big and beautiful river...
- in the heart of a city. - That's right.
Right.
Seoul is a beautiful city.
Exactly.
I guess she put important things in the basket.
She let him carry the books, but not the basket.
She's holding onto it tightly.
- That's interesting. - I wonder what's inside.
- Isn't it heavy? Are you all right? - It's so heavy.
It is, isn't it? Give me that.
- Let me carry it. - This is no joke.
How did you manage to carry this basket?
- She gave it to him. - She let him carry it.
It's so heavy. Why is this so heavy?
I wondered why the car couldn't go fast, so this must be why.
He said that was why the car wasn't going fast.
- A conglomerate manufactured it. - This is the spot.
- Is that supposed to be funny? - This is so nice.
There's a shade here.
- Should we? - The one over there?
- The one over there? - That one? Yes.
- They are talking casually now. - They're talking casually now.
- You guys talked casually. - Oh, we did.
- They are comfortable now. - I didn't know that we did.
"That shadow? Or this one?"
This is why people watch dramas.
This is so nice!
This is so nice, isn't it?
(Ha Neul sits down comfortably too.)
- I thought he was kissing her. - I thought that too.
Let's play this again. Hold on.
Wait. Play that again.
- My gosh, the camera angle... - What's wrong with them?
Come on.
I was so surprised.
- Watch. - Watch this.
Look. Look at that!
(We got you, punks!)
- This can be in the preview. - My goodness.
- It really looked like a kiss. - Are you guys fans of kissing?
- What are you talking about? - Why do you keep forcing this?
You guys always bring that up.
(You guys are unbelievable.)
He just sat down.
I got excited for a second.
- What's in this heavy basket? - Aren't you curious?
First of all...
What's this?
Ta-Da.
- What is it? - What's that?
- Fried tofu rice balls? - I made them myself.
- You made them? - Yes.
- Really? - Yes.
- My gosh. - Fried tofu rice balls.
It's the fried tofu rice balls we had before.
I ate them afterwards too.
It's the fried tofu rice balls only Hui Yeol never got to taste.
(Last week, In Na brought fried tofu rice balls.)
(But Hui Yeol didn't even get to see them.)
My gosh, you...
When did you make this?
- I can't believe it. - I woke up early this morning.
I only marinated the meat the night before.
Really?
By the way, they look really good.
- Right? Try it. - Yes.
- Let me have some. - Okay.
(They'll exchange books after the meal.)
That was really good.
Is it okay?
(Is it good?)
Didn't you buy this?
No, I made it myself.
- Really? - Yes. I got the minced meat.
I added all sorts of sauces and stir-fried it.
I minced everything. I added kimchi too.
- In this? - I washed it first.
- This is so good. - After washing it, I drained it.
And I added into it.
- She's explaining it to him. - I made the food this morning.
I'm not lying. This is really good.
- Really? - This is really good.
(He's eating with gusto.)
- It's rewarding when he eats a lot. - This is so good.
I was really grateful. He ate a lot.
- When that happens, it feels great. - He ate a lot. Yes.
- I'm glad you're liking it. - It must be rewarding.
This is really good. I'm serious.
I made it since this is our first meeting.
(She prepared this meal since he'll help her project.)
(Feeling rewarded)
This is really nice. It's breezy here.
(A nice breeze is blowing at that time.)
- This scene looks so unrealistic. - Right?
- How can it be so breezy like that? - Right? It's breezy.
I heard the floor director was shaking it.
Behind the tree?
The more I eat, the taster this gets.
It's so good.
The tree isn't computer graphics, right?
- That's such a beautiful tree. - It's so picturesque.
I've never seen a tree like that at the Han River.
(She's so funny.)
I brought coffee.
- Really? - But it's not expensive coffee.
- He brought coffee. - He brought something too.
- This is perfect. - I was wondering what was...
- inside his bag. That was it. - Did he make the coffee himself?
(Impressed)
- I'll do it for you. - My gosh.
I'll give you more water there.
I like it weak.
- Weak Americano. He remembered it. - Weak Americano.
Weak Americano.
(He's making weak Americano for In Na.)
- That's why you gave me this much. - Yes.
It's nothing fancy.
- Gosh, that guy... - Cheers.
- I like that. - Even the cups are cute.
- For our audiobook. - Yes.
(They have a cup of coffee while enjoying the soft breeze.)
(Enjoying the coffee)
Gosh, this is so good.
(She's happy.)
- This is good. - Yes.
The coffee was really good.
This is like a coffee commercial.
"The atmosphere is cozy just like Ahn Sung Ki's smile."
I can feel my head clearing up.
So you also made fried tofu rice balls for Ha Neul too.
That just means I'm the only one who never got to taste it.
- That's why... - Only you never got to taste it.
(Feeling disappointed)
So I felt really bad.
Did you bring more?
(Did In Na prepare something?)
- That's so cute. Look at his face. - Look at his face.
- My gosh. - But he doesn't look happy.
I made this just for you.
- This box has grapes. - No way.
- Kimchi. - No way.
- I eat it with grapes and kimchi? - No way.
Fried tofu rice balls.
- All right. - These are the same containers too.
Fried tofu rice balls.
(A bag full of fried tofu rice balls)
She wants him to eat it and stop talking about it.
- You'd get sick of it. - "Don't you ever bring that up."
- "Don't you dare bring it up." - But...
you get to taste my food rather late.
- What? There's more? - Just for you,
I made sandwiches.
- I feel bad. - That's why.
- I didn't mean anything by it. - Right.
But you know what? I ended up making delicious sandwiches.
(He's moved.)
That's a lot of effort.
- Can we eat this too? - Of course.
In Na, can we eat this too?
- Of course. Help yourself. - Can we eat this?
- Of course. - Ji Sun, let's try this.
- Thank you. - We're having this thanks to you.
Enjoy it.
Thank you.
How is it? Is it good?
This is so good too.
I added boiled potatoes and eggs and smashed them.
Then I added mayonnaise.
Didn't you complain like this while making it? "Gosh, Yu Hui Yeol."
When did you begin liking books? Did you always like it?
- Yes. - They're starting to talk.
Back when I was 7 or 8 years old,
I started liking books.
For me, reading books is for pure fun.
- It wasn't even for learning. - Really? That's interesting.
But when I grow older and have far sightedness...
and my eyesight becomes worse,
it will be really difficult to read books.
- Right, of course. - But we have audiobooks now.
(In Na promotes audiobooks in that short while.)
That's right. We have audiobooks.
Let's...
(It's time to check the books they chose for each other.)
- Let's just... - I'm curious.
- Shall we check now? - Yes.
- Finally. - I'm really curious too.
What did they buy? What would they want to recommend to each other?
Let's play rock-paper-scissors and take them out one at a time.
- I'd like that. - How about that?
I'd like that.
The loser has to take out one.
- Rock-paper-scissors. - Rock-paper-scissors.
Then I will...
(What's the first book In Na would recommend to Ha Neul?)
- What is it? - What could it be?
- Here. - What is it?
This is what I got.
- Why is he laughing? - What is it?
- Oh, it says, "camellia". - Right.
- He's on that drama. - How witty.
I like reading poems.
That's why I thought of giving one of Nun Lee Hae In's.
And one of her books was titled with "camellia".
It's so fascinating.
- There are many good poems. - In Na is very considerate.
- She's so witty. - She put thought into it.
- She's very considerate. - She always gives her thought.
In Na knows how to make people feel good.
In Na is like that.
If you read this, living will be a little easier.
It makes you think it'd be okay to live an easier life.
It makes you think, "Why did I try so hard..."
"and why was I so greedy?"
It looks interesting.
- Thank you so much. - That's so sweet.
Why don't we read a phrase each?
- Sounds good. - Doesn't it?
Since there are too many,
let's just yell, "Stop."
They're going to read the part where they stop?
Yes.
Stop!
("Futile Resolution")
[VIU Ver] MBC E07 'Funding Together' "In Na Meets Ha Neul" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
This is making me nervous.
(Listen carefully to him.)
"Futile Resolution".
"I will not gossip about others no matter what happens."
"I decide on that and put it into action."
"I will not talk about hurtful things when they're hurting."
"I decide on that and put it into action."
"I will not talk about sad things when they're sad."
"I decide on that and put it into action."
"So now I don't decide on anything,"
"and decide to act on it first."
"Would that be okay? Would that work?"
"I'm really not sure."
That was nice. By the way, it's natural for one to stutter...
when reading something for the first time, but you read very well.
No, it's because I read slowly.
I just love Ha Neul's voice.
- Right? - It's very light and clear.
- It sounds like he's near us. - There are many phrases.
- All right. Let me give you one. - Yes, I can't wait.
The second book.
This is the book I chose.
(Careful)
This is rather practical.
This is...
What is it?
What is that?
(To be continued in Part 2)
- All right. Let me give you one. - Yes, I can't wait.
The second book.
This is the book I chose.
(Careful)
This is...
This is rather practical.
Oh, I like that.
This is...
What is it?
So this is...
- What is it? - It's an amazing book.
"642 Questions for Good Writing"?
Let's start reading this first.
- Okay. - From here to here.
- It's quite short. - Okay.
"How about writing a book about 642 things about writing?"
"642 things? Isn't that too many?"
"So it all started with one phone call."
"You don't read this book."
Oh, it's a writing book.
- That's a good idea. - It sounds fun.
"Write a poem for onion."
"Write about a scene that begins with this sentence."
"'I killed a person for the first time.'"
"Don't use the word 'red'"...
"and think of all possible ways to describe something red."
"And so this happened overnight."
"The plant is dying."
"Explain to the plant why it must live."
So this book...
- You just open any page, - Okay.
and read a phrase there.
You just write according to what it tells you.
So with the topic,
- you can write whatever you want. - That sounds like so much fun!
Okay, I love it.
I didn't know such a book existed.
There are many people around me who find me boring.
But you're funny and silly.
Silly people tend to be funny.
- Actually... - They couldn't even look...
at each other earlier.
- For a gift... - They need to eat something.
- That's right. - That makes you start to talk.
- Right. - It's not fun for most people.
This is the book I really like.
I read this when I was struggling the most.
I was struggling because of relationships.
So I detested others...
and thought they were really bad.
That's when I read this book.
Thanks to this book,
I could get out of the situation and overcome it.
If you look here, it says, "Evil is not real."
"It exists only when there's not enough virtue."
"So make others virtuous."
"When you chase evil, it grows like a monster,"
"but good grows like a plant while you wait."
- "Peace is..." - Look at that.
They're getting closer to each other.
They're reading one book together.
They'd have a lot to talk about with a book.
- That's a good saying. - I agree.
There's a similar saying.
When we're on stage...
When an actor who forgot his line and leads the play...
purely based on his ad-libs,
we don't criticize him.
We cheer for him and hope he does well.
So it's something like that.
When someone harasses you,
- or when someone is evil, - He's a serious guy.
think of it as that person living a life based on his ad-libs.
So like what it's saying here,
just like how it says that you should encourage good...
Now I know why your friends call you boring.
(Laughing)
- Right. - They've become closer.
This is a book that'd take two years to finish...
if you don't set your mind to it.
- What could it be? - It's that thick book from earlier.
I think that must be that book.
Right, so...
Can I try touching it?
What could it be?
What's this?
I can't believe it.
It's so funny.
Try touching mine with your eyes closed.
(Let's see.)
Isn't this an underlay?
(It's so slim.)
How could our last two books be so different?
- I mean... - Let's take them out together.
- How about that? - Sounds great.
- In 1, 2, 3. - In 1, 2, 3.
(Laughing)
It must be two extremes.
But the covers...
The pictures are similar.
A white background with the main character in it.
You didn't pick the thickest book for a joke, did you?
- It's not that. - Isn't it that book?
- It's written by Ryu Si Hwa. - That's right.
He's my favourite author...
among all Korean authors.
That's why I recommended this book.
- Thank you so much. - It's a whole collection.
- Let's read these then. - Sounds good.
Then let's go for our part-time job.
Sounds good. We have to go for our part-time job.
"You Are Not Small".
- "You Are Not Small". - It's a very nice children's book.
The books introduced today are in various genres.
- Right. - Everyone from the age of four...
to all adults should read this.
Right.
This guy sees another guy.
This big guy goes...
"You're really small."
It's pointing its finger.
"I'm not small. You're just too big."
"I'm not big. Do you want to see?"
(Their teamwork is so cute, they can even read a children's book.)
- "You're small." - "You're big."
It's like the conversation between me and Park Na Rae.
"I'm not small. You're just too big."
- That's the story of us. - "You're too big."
(It's perfectly synchronized.)
They look so sweet.
- It's interesting a book can... - It's good, right?
- Yes. - You're right.
- Let's go to work. - Yes, we should go to work.
It's perfect.
I hope you two just start dating and finish it.
Let's move on to the Taegeukgi.
- We all know how it's going to end. - I can't watch this anymore.
It's tough to keep watching the process.
Just start dating.
Thank you.
- Did we clean up well? - Yes.
It's too hard to watch.
- How is it so beautiful every hour? - I know, right?
The river and the sky are beautiful.
(The river and the sky are beautiful every hour.)
- She said "The river and the sky." - My gosh.
I didn't know you could...
- I really didn't prepare that. - You seem...
- so excited. - She's excited.
She said, "The river and the sky..."
- to Ha Neul. - What's going on?
Right. That's his name.
- What? - Stop acting like you didn't know.
- I was only thinking about the sky. - You even emphasized the words.
I was really just thinking about the sky.
- We can read it too, right? - Sure, we can.
- Should we try? - They read one line each.
- Yes. - My heart is pounding.
- We should recite it too. - It looked good.
- Do we have the book? - It's right behind you.
- There it is. - There it is.
These are all the books that were recommended today.
- Yes. They're all there. - "You Are Not Small" is also there.
Bring "You Are Not Small".
- Bring it here. - Should we read it?
- Wow. - You're...
(Jumping)
(Amazed)
- You're definitely not small. - You're like Usain Bolt.
- I'm not small. - We know.
- You two can read it like them. - I'd like that.
- Just for this moment... - Sweet?
- Okay. - Yes, be serious.
- I'm going to gaze at you. - Yes.
(He's turning romantic.)
Why don't we play a game?
Sure.
It's bad already.
(Laughing)
Listen to that sound.
(They're going to read it like Ha Neul and In Na...)
(and pretend they're in a romantic movie.)
Stop.
"Stop?"
(What?)
"I buried you in the mountain."
- What? - Is this about a secret burial?
This is deep. "I buried your flesh and bones."
(It sounds brutal.)
Please don't kill me.
Hey, you!
This won't work. This is too...
- That's too cruel. - "Please don't kill me."
- Let's try again. - Yes.
Can you film them like the video earlier?
Do Yeon and Hong Chul should also...
I'm in the top five of celebrities with pretty hands.
- Focus on their nostrils up close. - Our nostrils?
(Okay.)
(They try reciting again.)
You can start reading when I say, "Stop."
Stop.
There it is.
"The Girl with Bubbles".
Oh, my goodness.
"A person who can see the paintings while praying..."
"came and told me."
"I see a girl blowing pretty bubbles..."
"and giving them out to people."
(Laughing)
"I also see her worrying because there are too many people."
Why does it sound scary?
(His partner seems more worried.)
"Kid."
- She's a kid? - I'm a kid?
"Don't worry about it and give them out."
I know her well, and that's the face she makes when she hates it.
- She really hates it. - Then...
- It's like she saw a bug. - she'll read it to me now.
I saw In Na before, and it looked good when she read it.
Okay. You can clap.
(Clap, don't say, "Stop.")
("Thump!")
(Laughing)
That's it.
It just won't work with people like us.
- It's not helping. - Right.
- I'm not small. - It's fine. We're not small.
In Na, what's your next dating course?
It wasn't a date.
I just imagined...
you two getting married after four weeks.
That was the scenario in my mind.
They're meeting their parents next week.
After my project first aired, more than a thousand people...
had recommended the books of their lifetime.
- That's grateful. - I was reading the suggestions,
and I thought it'd be much better to meet them in person...
and hear their stories about the books.
That's why we're going to work part-time as curators.
As curators?
I'm relieved that we had a good start.
Right.
It's my favourite song.
- Seriously? - Yes.
(He naturally hums as his favourite song plays.)
What song is it?
It's my favourite song. It's a song by George Harrison.
I played that song and he said it's also his favourite song.
Do you have a favourite movie?
A movie? I enjoy almost every film with people in it.
What's your favourite?
What genre is "About Time"?
I love that movie.
- That's my favourite. - I love "About Time".
I watched that a couple of days ago.
- I really did. - The movie goes back in time...
and jumps in and out of the scenes.
(She communes with him through the film.)
I really love it.
- It's my favourite. - "About Time" is the best.
He and I could really understand each other too.
I don't usually go out.
- Me too. - Really?
- I'm sorry. - Really?
I don't usually take pictures.
- Me neither. - Really?
I never take pictures.
- Me neither. - I don't take pictures too.
Are you not on any social media like Instagram?
- No. - Me neither.
- They're very similar. - I don't, either.
- Us three are all so similar. - I'm also not on social media.
- We're like a trio. - We are.
I've never met a person with such a similar taste.
- Really? - Yes.
They're really similar.
- It's dusky out. - Yes.
(The night falls in no time.)
- It looks pretty already. - It does.
It's like we're in France.
- It feels like it. - Right?
- This place is nice. - Where is that?
- It's so pretty. - Yes.
- This is it. - Can I go in?
(It's an independent bookstore they're going to be working today.)
Hello.
It's pretty, isn't it?
It's better than you expected, right?
- Hello. - Hello.
It's good to see you.
(In Na came here two months ago.)
I went there before.
These are the books recommended by someone.
They're recommended.
(The store is full of books recommended by others.)
He's the store manager here.
- You're awesome. - Thank you.
(He's pleased.)
I heard you're having an event today.
- Yes. - We're starting...
They were having an event just in time.
When people bring in the books of their lifetime,
we exchange the used books to new books.
- We notified them the period. - Yes.
We'll work hard on our part-time hours today.
- It's a part-time job for one day. - The customers will be surprised.
- Yes. - I hope they like us.
- So the customers don't know yet. - They don't.
- Let's go down there. - We'll do well.
- Yes. - Thank you.
(It will be the foundation of making the audiobooks.)
It's nice, right?
(The book recommending space looks cozy.)
Isn't it interesting when you're around books,
you tend to speak quieter?
You're right. When I'm in a place with many books,
- it makes me speak quieter. - Yes.
I think the books are talking to us.
They have so much to tell us,
and there's no room for us to interrupt.
How did you think like that?
Let's look around. Are you admired by yourself?
I'll show you around, although it's not my store.
Wouldn't it be amazing to have a library like that at home?
- The place looks so pretty. - I read this one.
You can reach all the way up there?
- Do you need anything? - I don't.
They look so comfortable with each other now.
We got comfortable by then.
(They're waiting on the couch.)
Someone's here.
- They must be surprised to see you. - We'll see.
(Peeking)
- It's a child. - Hello.
- It's a child. - Welcome.
- She's so cute. - Hi.
- Hi. - Say hello.
- Hi. - How did you...
She's so cute.
What's your name?
It's Seo Hye Yoon.
- Hye Yoon? - Hye Yoon?
She came to exchange...
the book of her lifetime with her child.
- Yes. - That's great.
Right.
Do you know who we are?
No.
- We should work harder. - Yes, we should.
- What book do you recommend? - I didn't know you'd be here.
- I have 2. - You brought 2 books.
Yes.
I've never seen this one.
I was reading this book on the bus to my house.
It was too funny, so I had to get off the bus.
It was too funny.
It was Marronnier Park when I got off.
- Yes. - That's where I got off.
I finished the book on the bench laughing all the way.
Most of Song Sokze's books are hilarious.
- Right. - It must be really memorable.
Right.
It's still funny to think about it.
- It's Park Joon's collection. - He's the poet.
Is that about binge eating?
- It's about love. - Is it?
How did you read the book next to it?
- As I turned 40, - Are you in your 40s?
it was difficult for me to meet new things.
And people at my age think...
the music industry collapsed after The Beatles.
(Laughing)
And I think all the writers are bad after Park Wan Suh.
I've reached that age.
I was on my way home listening to "Bae Chul Soo's Music Camp"﻿,
and he said, "That's because you're lazy."
"The current musicians are working very hard,"
"and many are talented."
- I was surprised to hear that. - She's an eloquent speaker.
I was just being lazy.
That's how I started reading this.
- The young poets are talented too. - There are many who are.
- Right. - And they're hardworking.
Bae Chul Soo needs to know about this.
He'll be very proud.
- Let's... - I have a book in mind.
Which one is it?
(Hesitating)
It's the book that was given to me today as a present.
Who gave it to you?
A fairy gave it to me.
- It's me. - What?
- A fairy gave it to him? - A fairy gave it to him?
- My goodness. - It's me.
(A fairy gave it to me.)
(They look so lovey-dovey.)
Today... You know what? This is perfect.
- Right? - Today,
I gifted him with my favourite book.
I found a book...
- It's that book. - that was perfect for children.
"You Are Not Small".
Let's use it in advance.
All right.
That's a good idea.
- Right. - She's anticipating it.
She's so curious.
- He actually thought of that. - I know.
- It's a new book. - "You Are Not Small".
I'd like to recommend a book for her as well...
- since she brought two. - That'd be great.
This book is... Could you get that?
- This one? - Yes.
Not too long ago, I came across this book.
(In Na appeared on "Bae Chul Soo's Music Camp".)
(He recommended this book.)
- What a coincidence. - Isn't it surprising?
It feels as if it was all planned.
But it wasn't.
This is surprising.
It's the best gift ever.
I felt like you'd enjoy this book.
Actually, I've been into philosophical books lately...
- from Nietzsche to Deleuze. - Really?
- Yes. - Really?
- That's surprising. - What a relief.
This is fascinating.
Hye Yoon, do you want to give us one?
- Who do you like more? - Choose one of us.
We'll close our eyes and have our hands out.
Give it to the person you like more.
Is it over already?
1, 2...
(She gives it to In Na.)
Sisters are the best.
What should I do?
I feel so great. Open your eyes.
I felt so happy...
to have been chosen.
It feels great.
- It's nothing much. - Thank you so much!
Hye Yoon.
She'll regret this choice once she gets older.
(Laughing)
"When I was around four..."
Have fun reading it.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Enjoy it with your friends. - Thank you.
And this is for you.
- I hope you really enjoy it. - Thank you.
- Goodbye. - Bye, Hye Yoon.
They look so great. The mother and daughter.
Thank you.
(Their first recommendation is a success.)
- It feels great. - It really does.
- Her mom influenced her greatly. - You're right.
Hye Yoon is so bright and smart.
(Their second guest enters.)
- Hello. - Hello.
(It's nice to meet you.)
- What's your name? - I'm Im Min Kyung.
- Min Kyung? - Min Kyung?
I prepared this in a hurry. It's this book.
It looks pretty. "Sometimes, I Become Absent minded".
One poem resonated with me.
I bookmarked it.
There's a yellow heart here.
- It's called "Resistance". - Right.
Can you read this?
- Me? - Yes.
Me?
(Please do.)
(Listen carefully.)
The title is "Resistance".
"Without the wind's resistance, eagles can't fly."
"Without the water's resistance, whales can't float."
"What must we resist in order to live?"
Right. It's very philosophical.
That was good.
That was wonderful, Ha Neul.
It wasn't me.
This poem is wonderful.
(It's a short but resonating poem.)
Have you ever listened to an audiobook?
- No. - We're going...
to make one.
We're looking for books that will suit it.
I think we could find a gem here.
Reciting a poem is a good way for us...
- to read together. - You're right.
We'll search through this book.
- Poems are great to read out loud. - You're right.
- It's rhythmical and fun. - Right.
(And...)
- Hello. - Hello.
(More guests show up.)
Many came.
- Hi. - There are a lot of them.
The first poem that I saw had the words I wanted to hear.
- It's a fairy tale book. - "We'll Always Meet Again".
- It's a fairy tale book? - Yes.
She brought a fairy tale book.
(All these books are dear to them.)
- It's called "The Alchemist". - Right.
- I hope you have fun reading this. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(Which one of these books will become an audiobook?)
This journey is headed...
- towards making an audiobook. - Right.
It's almost done.
- But... - That's great.
we didn't know which one to pick.
- I'm so curious. - It was such a dilemma.
So we had a live broadcast...
and received verification on the harmony of our voices.
In order to pick the audiobook,
we had a live broadcast.
(A bookstore in Seoul)
It looks grand.
It's like a place from "Star Wars".
29 second hand bookstores came together...
to form this public second hand bookstore.
- It's huge. - My goodness.
(15 minutes before live broadcast)
(Everyone's busy getting ready.)
It must be fun.
- You'll remove this? - We'll put it on the floor.
- Are the lights ready? - One minute.
I'm so nervous.
How were you a radio DJ?
- I was like that for five years. - You're good, though.
(Live broadcasts are always nerve-racking for her.)
You have one minute.
- Get ready. - Get ready.
We have one minute left. What should I do?
(She gets ready to greet the viewers with her trembling heart.)
We'll begin soon.
(4 seconds before live broadcast)
(3 seconds before live broadcast)
(2 seconds before live broadcast)
(1 second before live broadcast)
(The live broadcast begins.)
("In Na and Ha Neul's Visible Radio")
The word "fluttering" makes you feel good.
- It's Honey D. - I tried to sound like so.
We can't stop smiling because our hearts are fluttering.
I'm Yoo In Na.
I'm Kang Ha Neul.
(- It's Yong Shik. - You have such a nice voice.)
This really feels like a radio show.
I feel like a guest.
- "I'm an overseas fan of In Na's." - Right.
"I tune in to watch Funding Together every Sunday."
- Thank you. - Nice to meet you.
Thank you very much.
(She's touched.)
We did so much in one day.
You're right. And...
didn't we get closer?
- Of course. - Yes.
Among the people that I've met for the first time,
you're the one whom I became closer to the fastest.
I feel the same way.
They wrote, "Show Me the Friendship".
- I became closer to you quickly. - You're right.
(- It's an unexpected rap battle. - They've become close.)
- I'm a bit shy. - I'm extremely shy.
We're going to read a bit...
from the books we've recommended...
to each other.
- She gave this book to me. - That's right.
Will you read it for me first?
- Should I? Sure. - Yes.
Please look forward...
- to Honey D's voice. - What should I do?
Stop!
- This was chosen randomly. - Yes.
Let me peek at the title.
- What's the title? - What is it?
I'll read it to you.
The title is, "Making a Lover".
"Making a Lover".
That book is discriminating.
Do you remember what we read?
There was burying.
You folded that page, didn't you?
Not at all.
I think I was too nervous to realize it back then.
I was just surprised by the title.
(They don't buy it.)
Why do you bother to ask me questions?
She's upset.
- She's finally upset. - She's sulking.
You shouldn't be sulky.
- She's mad. - That's not right.
- They want us to read together. - All right.
- Let's do that then. - Okay.
I'll go first.
- I'm nervous. - We need to do well...
if we want to sell our audiobook.
- I see. - We need to do well.
(He feels pressured.)
- We'll begin. - Let's read it together.
"Making a Lover".
"The people in this world look prettier and lovelier."
"Strangers don't seem unfamiliar to me."
- My gosh. - "The angel inside me..."
"must open its eyes every day."
A poem isn't long enough to read together, you know?
(They criticize them.)
It's as if they're singing a duet.
"I promised to become more loyal and love the individuals..."
"whom I call my lovers."
"My wish has finally come true."
(- You have wonderful voices. - I can fall asleep here.)
- The poem did all the work. - Right.
It was great.
Ha Neul, why are you blushing?
It's a bit hot in here.
- Goodness. - Gosh.
This is embarrassing for me as well.
(The two have spent the entire day together.)
(They become closer.)
- Goodness. - They're not recording right now.
What is this?
(Tapping)
What is that?
- Their faces are going to touch. - Goodness.
- Look at their hands. - Look at that.
(It's hard to believe that they just met for the first time.)
I can't watch this.
(They've become close in a short period of time.)
While watching, I couldn't help...
but wonder what was wrong with our Old Restaurant Tour.
It was just the two of us at that tea room too.
(The individuals are what matters.)
"I'd like to listen to a book of poetry with your voices."
Then why don't we pick a book of poetry...
as one of the audiobook candidates?
- I like that. - Right?
- You're especially... - It might be easy to approach.
good at reciting poetry.
- Really? - Yes.
Thank you.
(- It's sweating from the sky. - Poetry, sweat, and tears.)
I don't know what to do whenever someone compliments me like this.
- Thank you. - That's fun, so I keep doing it.
- I see. - She started teasing him.
After deciding to work on this audiobook project,
I thought so hard about what kind of book I should choose...
- to make an audiobook with. - Right.
I asked the viewers for their opinions.
A lot of them made recommendations,
and we've got the top five.
Let's start with 5th place.
Fifth place.
All right, it's...
"I Took Your Name as Medicine" by Park Joon.
- 4th place. - 4th place is...
- All right. - "Attraction" by Lee Byung Ryul.
Third place is "The Temperature of Language"...
- by Lee Ki Ju. - "The Temperature of Language".
- Now, second place. - Yes.
- "Sky, Wind, and Stars". - "Sky, Wind, and Stars".
- All right, then. - Yes.
It's time to reveal...
- First place? - Yes.
- Please reveal it. - Everyone might know this book.
- Why don't you say its famous line? - I bet everyone knows.
"You see, the most important thing isn't visible."
(The most important thing isn't visible.)
Did you get it, guys?
Someone guessed Hermann Hesse.
"'The Old Man and the Courtesy' by Subway"?
"Subway".
The top five books recommended by the viewers.
I'll now reveal first place.
By Saint-Exupery, what?
- "The Little Prince". - How fascinating.
- It's fun the more you read it. - Right.
It's a nice book to read regardless of your age.
- It comes differently. - When you're young...
- It's fascinating. - It comes differently...
depending on what age you are.
- "To have a core friend..." - It's still okay.
"Oh, a book friend."
A core friend is nice too.
A core friend. Guys, this is my core friend.
He likes books, but he still has trouble reading letters.
Gosh, I'm sorry.
We've talked about the viewers' recommendations...
- Right. - so far.
Now, let's have some time to talk about...
our acquaintances' recommendations.
I'll try calling one of my acquaintances.
It might be unexpected for you to hear this voice.
- Who? - I'm calling now.
I wonder what the ringtone is.
- Hello? - She answered right away.
- It's a woman. - Hello?
- Hello? - Hello?
Yes, hello?
Who are you?
- I think you got the wrong person. - Wait, no!
- Hold on. - I'm sorry.
- Wait. - Hold on.
She hung up.
She really hung up. Oh, gosh.
- She hung up for real? - Yes, she did.
I shouldn't play pranks on her...
because she's very mischievous.
She's very mischievous,
so I won't call her back either.
I think I know who she is, seeing how playful they are to each other.
Everyone knows that they're best friends.
I feel so teased.
If I call her back, it means I lose.
Give in for the sake of our audiobook.
- Right, we're in need. - Give in this once.
It's hurting my pride.
- Hello? - Hello?
- Who is this? - Hello.
I guess you have nothing to do, seeing how you answered so quickly.
It's IU.
I guess you have nothing to do, seeing how you answered so quickly.
No, I was working with my phone.
I see.
I'm with my core friend right now,
so I called you to introduce him to you.
What friend?
- Core friend. - Core?
Hello, IU. I'm Kang Ha Neul.
Oh, I see.
- Yes. - They worked together in a drama.
- "Moon Lovers". - Right.
Introduce yourself first.
10,000 viewers are watching our broadcast right now.
Oh, really? Is it a live broadcast?
- Yes, it is. - Yes.
You should've told me.
Oh, right.
This is being broadcast live.
I could've been in huge trouble.
Hello, viewers of Funding Together.
I'm IU. It's nice to meet you.
She gave us a moment to applaud.
- Ha Neul. - Yes, IU.
The CD with my autograph which you asked me for...
Gosh, what are you talking about?
Hold on a second. Be quiet.
- Be quiet. - Okay.
- I guess I called the wrong person. - Well...
IU, now that your drama has ended,
you should come out to where you belong...
and make a contribution.
- What's the name of that show? - Why...
Is it Funding Together?
Nice, nice.
- Why... - What's the title of it?
I should star in "When the Camellia Blooms".
- Hold on a second. Hey. - What?
- She never loses. - All of a sudden?
- Funding Together never invited me. - Gosh.
I had no idea they'd invite Ha Neul first before me.
- That's not it. - Right.
It's because you're busy and have a lot of work to do.
I have a lot of free time because my drama ended,
but they invited you when you're in the middle of filming your drama.
IU, aren't we going to talk about books?
- Let's not go off the topic. - Oh, books.
You aren't drunk, are you?
I thought about what to recommend all day long.
I see.
I will share my recommendation.
But you're going to hang up when I do.
- No, we won't. - Actually,
- No. - I was at home alone all day today.
- I had no one to talk to. - We didn't say we'd hang up.
Calm down, IU. Don't get worked up.
We aren't going to hang up.
- Gosh. - You won't?
No, we won't, so tell us what you recommend.
- Promise. - I promise.
- Here's my recommendation. - Yes?
This book has won the College Novel Prize...
at The Fourth Literature Neighbourhood Awards.
- I see. - That's a famous neighbourhood.
- "Famous neighbourhood". - The what?
It's a novel written by Lim Sol Ah.
"The Best Life".
- "The Best Life" by Lim Sol Ah. - "The Best Life".
Right, "The Best Life".
Why do you recommend this book?
- There's this line in the book. - Yes?
I've searched all the nice quotes of this book.
She's prepared thoroughly.
"We've willingly become worse to become better."
I think this line is the core of the book.
- I see. So? - I see.
So... That's all.
I see.
That's all I prepared.
- IU. - She's honest.
- Yes? - Is it the best you can do?
You didn't prepare for a speech, did you?
And IU,
we aren't going to hang up, right?
- You won't, right? - But this live broadcast...
- will end at one point. - She really didn't want to end it.
We won't hang up, but say goodbye first.
Why must I say goodbye when we aren't hanging up?
Okay, then. Hold on a second.
- Okay. - Okay.
- You... - I hung up.
(She hung up as soon as IU introduced a book.)
- Good job. - She hung up.
- I needed to hang up. - Nice move.
- All right. - For IU.
She'll greet you one day somewhere.
"Breaking news."
"It's said IU is heading to Bookbogo."
We must run away...
- before she arrives. - All right, let's do that.
Thank you for sparing your precious time.
Ha Neul, let's say goodbye to the viewers.
- Yes. Let's... - Fund...
- Together. - Together.
Bye.
(The live broadcast ends.)
Good work.
I'm so grateful.
Oh, my goodness. I got missing calls from IU.
She even texted me so many times.
"Why aren't you calling me back? You robbers."
"How could you dump me after getting what you wanted?"
"MBC can't do this to me!"
She called me a robber.
(After they ended the live broadcast and appeased IU...)
- We did so many things today. - We've come to the end of today.
(They met at the bookstore and recommended each other books.)
How did you like the live broadcast and everything?
I wonder how many books we've mentioned today.
- It must have been a lot. - I know.
Right.
We got to know about a lot of good books.
I think it's enough to choose one among them all.
I kind of...
have something in my mind.
Do you have a book in mind?
Yes, I do.
I hope they choose the same book.
Me too.
But I'll go with your choice.
Really?
- How considerate. - She's leaving it up to him.
I think poetry would be better...
in the form of an audiobook.
- Poetry? - Are you okay with it?
I agree.
("Just Like Camellia When Blooming And When Dying")
A lot of people recommended...
- books of poetry today. - Right, that was unexpected.
Like how you listen to music,
it'd be much better if you listen to poetry.
- This one is amazing. - It's great.
I think we made a good choice.
- I agree. - Right.
Funding Together, Yoo In Na...
And Kang Ha Neul's Audiobook is...
(Excited and curious)
- Oh, my goodness. - What did they choose?
I'm clueless.
(Funding Together, Yoo In Na and Kang Ha Neul's Audiobook is...)
Park Joon's...
"I Took Your Name as Medicine".
We've chosen this book.
- Yes. - It's Park Joon's book.
- I'm curious. - Joon!
- I can't wait. - I know, right?
Joon.
Who is he? I don't know anything about him.
I'm a big fan of his.
When he held a book signing event,
I waited for three hours just to get his autograph.
We became close since then.
We're friends now.
(Park Ji Sun's Poet Reading Woman)
He's young. He was born in 1983.
In 2012, he published his 1st book of poetry,
"I Took Your Name as Medicine".
He's really popular right now.
He has more events to attend than me.
(Laughing)
When I heard his name,
I was reminded of a hair salon.
Hair salon.
He's not as famous as him yet.
The funding will begin soon.
I'm so nervous with the start of my funding around the corner.
All the proceeds will be used to support...
cochlear implant surgeries for children with an auditory disorder.
I hope a lot of people buy it.
I wish Hui Yeol and Do Yeon start a project too.
- Right, I want to do something. - It's a lot of fun.
I wish you would start one.
I've been thinking about it.
Things that were impossible alone...
are being realized with funding participants.
- I felt the process itself... - Right.
must be crowd funding.
- The process itself. - That's what came to my mind.
It'd be a good idea for people...
who are having trouble realizing their valuable ideas...
- to try this method. - Right.
Now that your funding is soon to start,
say a word to the viewers.
The voices of Ha Neul and me will be a comfort to you...
and a lullaby to you at sleepless nights.
I bet you will be dying to buy it.
So that you can enjoy the fun...
of reading a paperback and listening to an audiobook at the same time,
we're making copies with a special design...
which can be bought only through this funding.
It's a special edition.
It'll be a perfect gift too.
I keep spending my money.
It's 10 dollars if you buy just the audiobook.
And it's 20 dollars if you buy it with a copy of the book.
(Ji Sun is surprised all of a sudden.)
Do Yeon, in the beginning...
- Hold on a second. - What on earth?
(10 dollars for 1, 20 dollars for 2)
This is unbelievable.
(The members were lost of laughter after seeing the unfamiliar skit.)
(This skit will become a hit after 10 years.)
(Their skit is seeing the light after 10 years.)
- Oh, my goodness. - What a coincidence.
- I didn't know I'd use it for this. - I have a good feeling about this.
- Seriously. - The first at the end again.
- Let's do it all together. - Audiobook for 10 dollars.
- With paperback, 20 dollars. - 20 dollars.
This is it.
We've got to close the show with this dance today.
- In Na, stand here. - Right, in the center.
- Here. - My goodness.
We couldn't do it on KBS, but we're doing it on MBC.
Like this, In Na.
Good. That's good.
- As if you will run forward. - Okay.
Funding Together.
(The seller's passion for her audiobook)
For Yoo In Na and Kang Ha Neul's audiobook,
fund together.
Audiobook for 10 dollars
With paperback for 20 dollars
- Funding Together - Funding Together
It has to be a success.
- Funding Together - Funding Together
(Funding Together)
Did you think it was over?
This coming October 1 is Armed Forces Day.
National Foundation Day on October 3. And Hangeul Day.
Please don't forget to put up the national flag on those days.
So that more people get to know about our Taegeukgi box,
we've prepared a special event.
We'll visit you through a home shopping channel.
At 11:45pm on Monday, September 30.
Until the Taegeukgi flutters at every house...
