Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript

Chief Hong.

Yes?

About…

that night…

Are you sure nothing happened?

Yes. Nothing happened.

Really?

Yes.

I have somewhere to be, so I'll get going.

Hye-jin, you're losing it.

Why don't you have the lights on?



What? Hey.

Is anything the matter?

What's wrong?

What is it?

A kiss?

Is that why you looked like
your whole world had burned down?

I thought the clinic was done for.

Hey, don't jinx us.
Take it back and knock on wood.

There.

I understand the power of liquid courage,

but you're not one to instigate a kiss.

I must not have been myself.

Have I been out of the dating game
for too long?

No, I should cut back on drinking.



What did he say?

Don't ask.

He obviously remembers
but is playing dumb.

I get it now.
That's why you're feeling so down.

Hardly!

As if. I can see right through you.

I'm only asking out of pure curiosity,

-but what do you think of Chief Hong?
-What?

I mean, it's been a while since I saw you
bothered by a guy like this.

If you have feelings for him…

-This is bad.
-What?

The fact that
I'm getting this nonsense from you

proves the fault in my actions.

I've been letting myself
get too comfortable here.

There's no need to go that far.

This won't ever happen again.

From now on,
I won't ever get involved with Chief Hong.

-Is that so?
-Never.

KISS

A FIRST KISS TASTES LIKE MUD,
SUNLIGHT, AND ROSES.

An iced latte with lots of ice and syrup.

COFFEE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY
AND BEER IN THE MOONLIGHT

Hey, good morning.

-Where's Mr. Oh?
-He's on his way.

A latte for Ms. Pyo
and an iced Americano for you, right?

The new beans
that came in are to die for--

I want something else.

Sure. Take your time then.

You were worried you'd have a cold.
Are you feeling okay?

What's it to you?
I can take care of myself.

I'm just worried, that's all.

Why would you worry about me?

Am I not allowed to worry anymore?

I get that being nosy is incurable,

but I'd appreciate less of your concern.

It's uncomfortable and annoying.

Ms. Dentist,
that really hurts my feelings--

I don't care if it's only a pop quiz!

What's with this grade?

This is all because you only think about
that no-good boy band.

Yell at me all you want,
but don't badmouth my sacred DOS.

What's with you?

What? If you care about me
half as much as you do for them,

you'd never get a grade like this!

How about a quarter of a quarter?

-Twenty points? Ju-ri.
-Give it here. It's mine!

You saw that, right?

-She's driving me crazy.
-That hurts!

-You. Sit right here.
-Why?

Can you two please talk to her?

Tell her how crucial school grades are--

As if they're important.

What she wants to do with her life counts.

You prick.

Nothing matters more to a student.

It's good to have dreams,

but in most cases,

you need a college degree to achieve it.
That's how it works in Korea.

Dr. Yoon, I can't believe
we're on the same page!

Ju-ri, you heard her.

I need to go to work, so may I order?

Gosh, silly me. What can I get you?

An iced Americano
and an iced latte, please.

-Du-sik, did you get that?
-Could you make it yourself?

Me?

Should I?

Sure. Why not?

Then…

-His coffee sucks.
-I wonder if she'll like it.

-I'll get going then.
-Sure thing. Thanks for today!

Ju-ri, listen to her.

-Look at that. Don't wander off.
-Dad…

So she remembers.

My coffee is much better now,

you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Dad, I want braces.

Don't start.

Then I'll study harder.

-I promise.
-Don't study.

My score will go from 20 to 200.

I told you, that's not going to happen.

Hye-jin, check this out.

Will you really address me like that?

-I saw it.
-Doesn't my snaggletooth need correcting?

-Right?
-I already said no!

Why not?

The snaggletooth makes you look cute.

It adds to your charm.

Without it, you'd be a plain Jane.

As if. You only say that
because it costs a lot.

Hye-jin, take a look.

Please give me your professional opinion.

Okay.

Snaggleteeth are corrected

when they trap bits of food
or when they are at risk for cavities.

But yours are adequately aligned

and has been kept clean.

If it's just to beautify yourself,
I don't recommend it.

Gosh.

And I thought you were cool.

You're of no help. Out of my way!

Dr. Yoon, that was unexpected.

I'm so grateful.

I absolutely love
everything you said today.

You know what?
You coffee will be on the house today.

Let me get some ice. My gosh.

YOON DENTAL CLINIC
CHUNG-HO SCUBA DIVING

According to the X-ray, it's all good.

Just like I said last time,

it seems the pain is coming from
the muscle above your molars.

Is that all right?

Of course. I'll prescribe you
a muscle relaxant

as well as something
for the pain and inflammation.

Stay medicated for a week

and try to refrain
from eating anything chewy.

I will.

I'm glad I rented
the office space out to you.

This is all because Chief Hong
gave you my slippers to wear.

I'm guessing it was meant to be.

I see.

Please come back
if the pain doesn't subside after a week.

-It should get better by then. Thank you.
-Sure.

I'll get going now.

-Have a good day.
-Take care.

My gosh. A flower is going to bloom.

What is this plant called?

I'm not sure what it is.

It's a fortune plant.

-Is this a fortune plant?
-Yes.

Water it though, will you?
The leaves are dry.

Why do you have a plant
you don't know the name of?

That's none of your business.

Why are you here?

You take walk-ins too, don't you?

-I'm tilting your chair down.
-You sound like a real doctor.

Sir, you're at a dental clinic.
Let's keep it professional.

Even more so.

I see that you're here for a checkup.

Yes. I heard I should have
my teeth checked regularly.

I'll take a look then.

Wait. I hate it when my face is covered,
so go ahead without it.

The lights are bright,
so at least close your eyes.

Is it good now?

Please open up.

Now, bite down.

And open.

Please bite down again.

Your teeth are in good shape.

Has anything been troubling you?

-Yes.
-Do tell.

Our relationship.

Is it because of that kiss?

See? You're coughing now.

This is exactly why I played dumb.

-What?
-Just look at you.

Because of a drunken mistake,
things are now awkward between us.

People think that it's a big deal
only in Korea.

It's not in other countries.

On the other side of the globe,

Jean and Chloe are probably
rubbing their cheeks and saying "bonjour".

Besides, for two people of
the opposite sex to become good friends,

we must be able
to move past a biological crisis.

Which means we've been given a chance
to actually become true friends.

Don't you need me?

Your teeth and gums are in good condition.

You'll be glad to know that your mouth
is free from a biological crisis.

Ms. Pyo, please be thorough when scaling.

-Sure.
-Wait.

Just like that? I thought it was all good.

You should still receive scaling
at least once a year.

Then can you please make sure
it doesn't hurt?

-Please lie down.
-Sure.

-Lie down, please.
-Why didn't you lift this?

Why can I taste
the disinfectant in the wind?

I hope that resolves
any tension between us.

Hello?

Yes, this is he.

Seriously.
That isn't a brick in front of you.

Can't you enjoy it
so that I can enjoy mine too?

It's good.

So how did it go?

Did you talk it out with Chief Hong?

I purposely gave you some space.

He acted like it was no big deal
and suggested we be friends.

I see.

And he must've meant it.

What's this?

-Is that Chief Hong?
-Yes.

Is that a guy or a girl?

A girl, of course.

That prick.

Chief Hong is walking
with a woman along Gongjin Harbor.

She's pretty.

They're now on the beach.

Judging by their body language,

I'm guessing they're not
exactly lovey-dovey yet.

-The peninsula?
-The Korean Peninsula Waterway.

If you see it upside down?

-It's a famous spot here.
-I see.

Reporting from the observatory.

Anyone can tell that they have chemistry.

Dr. Yoon must not be on his mind.

Gosh. Them and their gossip.

Jeez. I'm sick of it all.

What the hell?

-How long have you been here?
-For five minutes.

I see.

This is an official notice from OVN.

Could you take a look?

Right.

What are they planning to do
after the singing contest?

I have no clue.

Anyway, I'll get back to work.

Mr. Ban.

Yes?

What do you think it means

when a person still keeps a gift
that was given 15 years ago?

Either they love the gift
or it's that sturdy.

No, not like that.

I mean,

doesn't it indicate a deeper meaning?

Could it mean that the gift-giver
holds a place in their heart?

Why does he even ask?

Seems to currently be heading
to Hwajeong Raw Fish Restaurant.

Reporter Yeo, we expect an update.

Why is my ear itching all day?

-Thief!
-Ma'am…

-No, I'm not a thief.
-As if.

-Ma'am, that's not it.
-Ms. Gam-ri, what is it?

How are you not a thief?

-My gosh.
-Gosh. He's a damn thief.

Ma'am, you got the wrong idea.

-What?
-Gosh, that hurts.

-You?
-You?

What?

What's that?

Housebreaking for you,
and assault for you.

In the eyes of a third party,
you're both at fault.

But since you took a hefty beating,

Ms. Gam-ri is offering you
this meal as an apology.

-Are you good with that?
-Of course.

I caused the misunderstanding,

so I'm grateful
for this meal you prepared.

Get to the chatting later and dig in.

-Sure.
-I'll enjoy this.

From what Du-sik tells me, you film…

-What was it again?
-Mukbang shows.

-What?
-Mukbang shows.

So that's what you do?

Yes, something like that.

Not that famous though.

Right, I see.

-I hope I didn't hurt you badly.
-I'm all right.

It's what you get
for surprising me like that.

You entered someone's house unannounced

and stood there like some thief.

So I hit you out of fear.

I'm sorry about that.
I couldn't help myself

when I saw this beautiful house.

What do you mean, beautiful? It's just
an old house that an old woman lives in.

Really. I mean it.

It's the kind of house
I've been picturing.

Humble and welcoming.

If I had a grandma in the countryside,

she'd live at a place like this.

Goodness. You and your kind words.

Try this too.

She serves the best food in Gongjin.

Goodness.

How is it?

It's absolutely delicious.

Eat up. You must need more rice.

-I'll get you some more.
-Sure.

Why are you getting food
all over the place?

I'm the clumsy type, you see.

Hold on.

Where is it? Here it is.

-What? What's that?
-There.

This is nice. It'll keep me clean and dry.

-Please enjoy.
-You too.

So you booked a place to stay?

Yes. Parang Guesthouse.

Parang Guesthouse? Right.
That's on the way to…

Well, you wouldn't know.

Listen carefully. From the intersection,

-take a right.
-A right.

-Then walk ten steps.
-Ten steps.

-On the left is a real estate agency.
-A real estate agency.

Ask for directions there.

-What?
-You won't remember my directions.

Got it. Anyway,
thank you for today as well.

Don't mention it. I got to go now.
Get there safely.

-Sure thing. Bye.
-Bye.

He sure is a pure soul.

To the right!

The right…

Whatever. I didn't see that.

I'll be late tonight,
so have dinner without me.

I was offered a free skin care treatment.

All right. I'll see you later, Snow White.

That reminds me. Your friend took
his new friend to the observatory earlier.

Too much information isn't appreciated.

What the hell am I going to eat?

I hate everything in this small town,

but especially the lack of delivery food.

Damn it.

-My gosh!
-My gosh.

Who's there?

Chun-jae, you didn't have
to wait for me outside, you know.

-Du-sik.
-Yes?

What am I going to do? I can't find Ju-ri.

I'm sure she'll be back soon.

It's not like that. The money's gone too.

-What?
-What do I do?

This is driving me nuts.

You haven't seen her?

Got it. Please call us
if you happen to see her.

All right. Thanks.

I locked the safe
after realizing some bills were missing,

but she took the entire thing.

How did she manage to carry it?

I should call the police.

-No.
-I should hurry.

No need for that.

I'm sure she's still somewhere in Gongjin.

You're not here to ask an English question

but to have a free meal.

Hye-jin, can I have the neck?

Go ahead.

-Did you starve today?
-Yes, I had my reasons.

-Slow down.
-Can I have some water?

What the hell is this? Damn, my toes.

-What's in here?
-It's nothing!

-Don't.
-Let me see.

My gosh.

Is this a safe? Did you steal this?

How can it be stealing
when it's from my dad's shop?

That's still stealing.

I said it's my dad's.

Did you run away from home?

Why are you here?

It's not you I'm here to see.

Is Ju-ri here by any chance?

-Wh… What?
-You're stuttering.

Excuse me for a bit.

-But--
-Oh Ju-ri!

Get over here.
Did you think I wouldn't find you?

-I thought you wouldn't come looking here.
-How dare you--

Gosh, that must hurt. Oh, dear.

Do you know how worried
your dad and I were?

How should I know?
Is this how it's going to be?

-Get over here.
-No.

-Get over here while I ask nicely.
-No.

What do you think
you're doing in my house?

Are you playing a game?

You should've called
if a kid came by at this hour.

Think about her father.

-Are you seriously telling me off?
-Darn it.

I only just found out.

-Get back here.
-No.

-Get back here.
-Why?

-Get back here.
-No.

-Get over here.
-Sorry, Hye-jin.

Get out here, Ju-ri.

-Get out here.
-No way.

You shouldn't put others out like this.

Get out here!

The one causing inconvenience here is you.

What?

Ju-ri's my guest
while you weren't invited in.

She can stay here tonight,
so please leave.

But Chun-jae's waiting at home.

I'll call him myself then.

-Ju-ri, what's your dad's number?
-Don't tell her.

Be quiet. It's 010-0247-8359.

Seriously. What the hell are you doing?

Hello?

-Ju-ri will stay with me tonight.
-Who the hell are you?

I informed her father,

and I'm an adult of the same sex.
So it's no problem.

There. Do you need anything else?

Ju-ri, get back home tomorrow.

-"Be back home tomorrow."
-Are you mocking me?

Your dad is worried.

Sorry for the intrusion.

Hye-jin, is Uncle Du-sik gone?

Yes.

Nice, Hye-jin. Thank you so much.
I'm sorry for pushing you, but--

I met Chief Hong on my way in.

Who are you?

You're rude.

Who may you be?

Who's asking?

I'm Pyo Mi-seon.

Who's she?

What on earth is she thinking?

-Hey, Chun-jae.
-Du-sik!

I think Ju-ri was kidnapped
by some crazy woman!

Yes, I'll let her stay the night
and bring her over tomorrow morning.

Sure. Don't worry too much.

Good night.

What did my dad say?

That you're dead meat tomorrow.

-Now, go to bed.
-Okay.

-Good night.
-You too, Hye-jin.

RESEARCH ON THE SURVIVAL RATE
OF RE-EMBEDDED IMPLANTS

JU-RI'S

She's quite good.

Dr. Yoon, once again,
please take good care of my girl.

Of course. Don't worry.

I'm sorry to ask,
but did she wash up before bed?

She can't skip lotion
due to her chronic atopic dermatitis.

Yes, she didn't forget
to put on some lotion.

You probably have this covered,

but please make sure
she brushes her teeth.

She may not seem fussy,
but she doesn't sleep well in other beds.

If she can't sleep,

please give her a glass of milk
with a spoonful of sugar.

Hye-jin, I can't sleep.

Drink this and head to bed.

Sure.

That's nice and warm.

By the way, the girl
in the photos in your room. Is it you?

Yes.

The years weren't so nice to you.

Hey. Seriously?

All living creatures
look better when young.

I heard that your mother passed away
and you only have a father like me.

Rumors travel fast.

Do you remember a lot about her?

Somewhat.

However, I was too young,

so I mostly remember her being sick.

You at least have some memories of her.

My mom passed away right after I was born,

so I only got to see photos of her.

Really?

So my grandma used to say
when I was little

that I ruined my dad's life.

He got so mad at her

that we only see her only on holidays.

I get that he cares so much about me,

but it's stifling at times and annoying.

So it's like this.

He should only be a dad,

but he's trying to be a mom too.

Do you get what I mean?

Yes, totally.

Hye-jin, why did you
let me stay here today?

No reason.

It just reminded me of the past.

I was once like you too.

Like me?

No way. Did you run away from home too?

Why?

It was back in high school.

GONGJIN MARKET PARKING LOT

I skipped school,

took a bus at the terminal,

and went to the beach.

Long distance! You play big, don't you?

Why though?

Because my dad
had gotten himself a girlfriend.

No way! Was that your reason?

I didn't peg you to be so close-minded.

Look. If my dad were seeing a woman,

I'd back up their relationship
all the way.

What?

It's kind of sad

to let him live forever
missing a dead person.

Gosh. You're definitely
more thoughtful than I am.

I wonder why you left home
when you're this mature?

That's because my dad
wouldn't let me get braces.

So could you please persuade him a little?

Why do you want braces
when your snaggletooth is adorable?

Just like everyone else in this world,
I want to look pretty.

I'm sure you understand that. Right?

-Braces alone won't do the job.
-Jeez.

That's straight in the guts. I'm so hurt.

I hurt you?

Here. Drink this and go to bed.
I need to get some work done.

Doctor, do you offer
your friends any discount--

-Go to bed.
-Got it.

Darn.

Good night. No, just a second.

A discount…

Got it. Good night.

You always drink the good stuff
on your own.

Chun-jae.

Are you crying?

Why would I be crying?

Just wait until she gets back.
I'm shaving all her hair off.

As if you'd ever go through with that.

You adore the curly baby hair
on her forehead.

I guess I love her so much
that I've spoiled her.

I raised a thief.

She plays big.
She definitely doesn't take after you.

Maybe her mom.

Jeez.

What will become of her? I'm so worried.

It's not like
I'm going to be around forever.

In order to manage on her own
once I'm gone,

she needs to at least finish college.

Is that why you've been
on her case lately?

It's the same with the braces.

Of course, I asked around.

-Since she wants it so badly.
-But?

It involves plucking
a few perfectly good teeth!

Even when she scrapes her knee,
it gives me a heart attack.

What if something happens
during the procedure?

Ju-ri's such a lucky kid
to have a dad like you.

Those without parents
should feel sorry for themselves.

Don't be ridiculous.

You grew up well on your own, you know.

No one in this world is as decent as you.

Hold on. Are you drunk?

Du-sik.

Try and make something happen
with Dr. Yoon.

Stop it. It's not like that for us.

Don't say that to Ms. Dentist either.
You'll lose a regular customer.

Then date someone at least.

Find someone to lean on for once.

You spend your life
dealing with people's baggage.

When do you ever get to lessen yours?

I don't have any.

You almost finished the bottle.
Let me get a glass.

Don't you dare drink another drop.
I'm finishing that.

Jeez.

That drink sure was strong.

WHAT MEN LIVE BY BY LEO TOLSTOY

COFFEE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY
AND BEER IN THE MOONLIGHT

I'm sorry. I won't ever do this again.

So please let me have my braces.

-Please?
-No.

Now that you pulled this, there's no way.

You can no longer get what you want
by acting out.

I hate you. You're super annoying!

Likewise! It's not like I…

That brat.

I'm sorry, doctor.
And thank you for last night.

It's all right.

She's not usually this bad, but…

Jeez. Raising a daughter sure isn't easy.

I may be overstepping my boundaries,

but Ju-ri's not a little kid anymore.

-Sorry?
-Yes, she's still a child,

but she's past the age where she needs
constant care from her dad.

She has her own world now
and needs her alone time.

I just hope you can accept
those changes in her life.

Right.

And Ju-ri isn't some mindless teenager.

She already found what she wants to do.

Have you seen her sketches?

-It's Ju-ri's.
-Does Ju-ri draw?

-Is this hers?
-Yes, she drew those.

Did my Ju-ri--

-Did you get rid of them?
-What?

My DOS poster and fan merchandise.
Did you get rid of them?

Yes, I threw them away.

I couldn't take you
losing focus over them,

so I threw them all out!

Why would you throw out what's mine?

Who gave you the right?
Those were all limited editions!

It's never good to get involved.

My gosh. Chief Hong's
spending the day with her again.

I guess so.

I'm stopping by the supermarket.

-Welcome!
-Hi.

I'll take all of these.

-All of them?
-Yes.

You must love them.

They make good snacks,
although I did use to live on them.

I see.

So Producer Ji,
where are we headed this time…

Hello!

Welcome.

Do you have any sausages?

Actually, someone bought
all I had just now.

Gosh. I see I'm not the only one
who loves them.

I'll be back some other time then.

Yes, have a nice day.

Sure.

Why does he look familiar?

He's not from Gongjin.

Where did I see him?

Is Uigeumbu the name of a region?

Isn't that Uijeongbu?

Uigeumbu and seolleongtang.
Don't they ring any bells?

Nothing.

YOON DENTAL CLINIC

I see they have a dental clinic here.

CHUNG-HO SCUBA DIVING

-Octopus over rice?
-Yes, the place nearby is to die for.

Really? Sounds delicious.

Chun-jae, why didn't you bring Ju-ri?

She's giving me the silent treatment.

And World War 3 is imminent.

-She's just a kid.
-You being here

makes your move finally feel real.

I feel the same way.

Hwa-jeong, are you feeling better today?

Yes, I'm fine now.

Thanks for the concern.

Hello.

-Gosh, hello.
-Hello.

-Come on in.
-Hi!

-This way.
-Please sit.

I see there's an empty seat.

Where?

Right here.

There's barely any room.

Gosh, there we go.

Before we begin today's meeting,

a message for the village
will be delivered.

Village Chief?

Hello, everyone. I'm Chang Yeong-guk,
the Village Chief of Gongjin-dong.

Take it easy, will you?
There's no need to deepen your voice.

Right.

I'm sure you know the Lighthouse
Song Festival's in two weeks.

I hope many sign up again this year.

I'll hand out applications,
so fill them out

-and bring them to the office.
-Sure.

Hold on. Up until last year,
the award included

a voucher to spend locally.

But this year,
the winner gets three million won.

-What?
-In cash?

-Yes.
-You'll be given hard cash.

Runner-up, 1,000,000.
Third place, 500,000.

-My goodness!
-No way.

-Unbelievable.
-Nice.

So I hope many will enter the competition.

Don't if you're too busy though.

Only do so if you want.
Here are the forms.

Officer Choi, are you not entering?

I'm afraid not.

Why not?

Chief Hong, go ahead.
You can carry a tune.

Sing what you sang last time.

She's right. You and Dr. Yoon can team up.

Again with the nonsense.

How can you be so dense
and embarrass people like that?

Can't you tell by the way
they're sitting far apart?

It's already over between them.

Gosh.

What's there to end

when nothing even began?

Nothing's going on
between Chief Hong and me.

If you keep spreading false rumors,

I won't let it slide.

Well…

-I…
-Gosh.

I'm leaving.

-What?
-What…

-Wait.
-Hye-jin.

-What…
-Is she pissed?

-Well…
-Just a second.

They were close but sat far apart today,

so I just figured…

Just let it slide.

The gossip just to kill the time.

Why does it have to be at my expense?

It's upsetting and I'm offended.

As long as it's not true,
there's no need to overreact.

Let's not be so sharp around the edges.
That's my advice as a friend.

Who says we're friends?

What?

Us having some moments recently

must've made you think that way,

-but I don't befriend just anyone.
-"Just anyone"?

While we're at it,
let me lay it out there.

You exhaust me.

I don't care for the rumors
and prefer not to be considered as a pair.

I'm grateful for your help, but I'd like
for you to stop crossing the line.

I thought you had changed.

I guess I was wrong.

Here you go.

Power on.

Bluetooth activated.

Why don't we enter
the singing contest as a team?

You know I'm a natural on stage.

Give me a chance and I'll shine.

Enough!

Would it kill you
to live quietly for once?

Mat-i, let it be just us two then.

We can split the prize money.
What do you say?

Gosh, must be a cold.

Hey.

-Do I know you?
-It's Nam-suk. Hold on.

I knew it was you.

-Gosh, hello.
-Hi.

Don't tell me
you're here to enter the singing contest.

Nonsense.

Goodness. I was right.

It's wrong for someone like you to enter.

You're a singer. It's not fair.

Must you talk so loudly?

Gosh, I'm sorry.

Is it because of the big prize money?

Nam-suk, why is it that you're everywhere?

-Nam-suk.
-Gosh.

Is she the mayor or something?

Listen up, everyone!

Oh Yoon who won the number two song
on Top Ten Songs

will enter the Lighthouse Song Festival.

How is that fair?

Chun--

I took care of him.

-Here's my form.
-Sure.

I have 320,000 won.

Unbelievable.

Gosh.

LIGHTHOUSE SONG FESTIVAL

CHUNG-HO SPECIALTY PRODUCTS

LIGHTHOUSE SONG FESTIVAL

-Let's go.
-I don't want to.

Who watches singing contests these days?
They're so lame.

Come on! Do you really think
I'm here for the contest?

Of course, I'm here
to bump into Eun-cheol.

Jeez.

Seriously.

Hey, Chief Hong!

-Hi.
-Hey.

Have you seen Officer Choi?

He's sorting things out
by the parking lot.

He said he was off-duty today. How come?

A fender bender made a mess of things.

I'm not sure he'll make it here on time,
but don't lose hope.

Okay.

-Hi.
-Cho-hui, over here.

That seat's taken. It's Hwa-jeong's.

What do you mean?
I've been saving it for her…

Hold on. What…

It's fine. I can move over a seat.

Hey.

She doesn't even know
when people do her a favor.

-Please have a seat.
-Sit down.

What's the matter?

It's all good.

What was that?

It's nothing.

What's with all the cameras
at a small-town festival?

It wasn't like this last year.

Maybe it's because of the prize money,
but it's a bit different.

-Right?
-Yes.

Hello, I'm comedian Yang Seung-won
here to host the Lighthouse Song Festival.

-It's good to see you.
-It's Yang Seung-won!

What?

-I'll start with a few voice impressions.
-Isn't it that man on TV?

-Yes, it is.
-Here we go.

Before we begin the singing contest,

an opening ceremony will be delivered.

He's the pride and joy of Gongjin-dong.

Please welcome singer Oh Yoon.

Hello, everyone.

-He actually agreed to it.
-A mountain guy

turned out to be an ocean guy,
and that's how I settled here.

I am the star of Gongjin.
What's my name again?

-Chun-jae!
-Chun-jae!

What's my name?

-Oh Yoon!
-Oh Yoon!

Yes, I'm Oh Yoon!

Ju-ri, I love you!

The night is cold, I hate this night

Here I am living in this city day by day

But once again, I realize she's gone

All that's left is an empty seat
And her laughter

I can't contain this feeling

Exercising in the moonlight doesn't help

Only the wind of life that crashes into me

Eventually brings me to tears

But once again, I realize she's gone

All that's left is an empty seat
And her laughter

Thank you. I love you all.

I'm Oh Yoon!

Ju-ri, it's your dad!

No way. What's this?
A live guerrilla performance?

It'll be over before then, right?

Ju-ri, are you entering the contest too?

Mind your own business!

Don't fumble up there.

Don't give up on anything

Don't. Don't you dare do it.

He's so good.

Sick and tired of my lousy life

-I now set out to find you again
-Don't listen, my baby.

I will run to you
And throw myself in your embrace

You won't be able to ignore me

Louder and louder
I will call out your name

The name of whom I love

I'm Cho Nam-suk
of Gongjin Korean-Chinese Restaurant.

I hope you enjoy my song.

-Don't criticize me
-Oh, my.

-Block your ears.
-For being cruel

I only chose to part ways briefly
For your sake

I love you

Gosh, Nam-suk.

Thank you! Please applaud--

Can I get a do-over?
The key must've been set way off.

I asked for B sharp!

Squid, shrimp, anchovy

Webfoot octopus, baby octopus,
shark, and turtle

You were born in the ocean

What do you think about while you live?

Good, good, good, good, let's laugh

That's right, right, right, right

What were the lyrics?

You wench!

-I forgot…
-How could you?

-It could happen, gosh!
-Seriously?

Is that the best you can do, you idiot?

How can you be so dumb?

It's not like I wanted to forget.

-Damn you!
-Hey!

Cut the music!

She's so adorable.

Ms. Dentist, can you come
with me for a minute?

Where?

This is urgent. Come on.

What now?

Someone's hurt.

Hurry.

You are my precious love

You are

My eternal love

I love you

I love you

But why do tears

Keep falling?

She sprained her ankle while dancing.
Take a look.

I'm a dentist, not an orthopedist.

You're still more qualified than I am.

Ju-ri, which foot is it?

What? The left.

-It hurts.
-Does it?

Yes.

It's swollen too much.
You should go to the hospital.

No way.

She wants to perform.
She's willing to dance in this state.

I doubt you can even walk.

I have to win this.

I need the prize money to get braces.

-What?
-Seriously?

I think your snaggletooth looks adorable.

You're just like Dad. Stop saying that.
I absolutely loathe it!

You what?

You can get them when you're older.

Now's not the time.
Let's go to the hospital.

No, it has to be now.

Why are you in such a rush?

Is there a particular reason?

There's this boy I like,

but I can't smile in front of him.

The snaggletooth shows first,
so I keep covering it up,

and it kills my self-esteem.

What if he falls for some other girl?

It's why I need braces right now!

-Please.
-The next contestant is

a seventh grader
at Cheongjin Middle School,

-Oh Ju-ri!
-Now? Are you kidding me?

Did he just say Ju-ri?

-Oh Ju-ri?
-Is she entering?

-Goodness.
-Gosh.

-Ju-ri?
-Is she…

Why is she limping? Ju-ri, what's wrong?

Ju-ri!

-Ju-ri…
-Oh Ju-ri will begin her performance.

Tears drop as I turn the steering wheel

I'm on my way to you

I feel terrible
But there's so much traffic

I…

Ju-ri, get down here. Come on!

Just a second.

We'll take it from the top.

Hye-jin?

Uncle?

Hey.

Let's place first. I hate second place.

Ju-ri, sit.

-Du-sik, what's wrong with Ju-ri?
-Goodness.

What?

Seriously? Chun-jae, get up.

-Do you know this dance?
-I don't.

Then leave the stage.

I thought the embarrassment
could be shared.

Besides, it's all about
making people excited

on events like this.

Ju-ri, you got this.

Tears drop as I turn the steering wheel

-I'm on my way to you
-What is she doing?

I feel terrible
But there's so much traffic

I call but you don't pick up

Beautiful northern lights

-Were they always a team?
-I desperately call for you

-Who knows?
-I hear you

-Is Dr. Yoon a good dancer or a bad one?
-Our time together

She seems to be trying,
but it's kind of choppy.

Who knew that Chief Hong
was bad at something?

Hurry up tonight

Please come back, just a feeling

I will be there for you

Hurry up tonight

Please come back, just a feeling

Bewildered and mesmerized
I can't escape you

Please, please, turn around

-My gosh.
-Ju-ri, it's Dad!

That was great. Our Du-sik is good
at absolutely everything.

So much for not getting involved.
She's in deep.

Sit here.

-Oh, no. My good reputation.
-Hi, I'm Choi Bo-ra!

As if you had one.

This is all your fault.

One might think I made you go up there.

That was your own choice.

Must you always blame others?

-You're so annoying!
-Likewise.

Did you see the crowd earlier?
We might actually win!

-Yes!
-My gosh!

-I never lose, you know.
-First place.

I will tightly embrace

My friend's broken heart

Just like someone did

When I was feeling down

A friend's wrongdoing

Will be embraced with warm forgiveness

-Honey. Is that really our daughter?
-And one's mistake

-Tell me about it.
-Will be understood…

Goodness.

There was a true singer
in Gongjin all along.

What will I do
With hatred that involuntarily formed

With love

I will embrace those with love

I will hug you tightly

With the warmth in my heart

Please hug others tightly

With tender love

To let happiness

Bloom inside our hearts

I will hug you tightly

I will take my friend

In a warm embrace

I will take my friend

In a warm embrace

You did great!

And the winner is…

-Choi Bo-ra!
-Yes!

Bo-ra, that was amazing.

How is it that you never sang for me
when you are this good?

Bo-ra, how about we swap our prize money?

Don't be ridiculous!

Bo-ra, let me keep it safe for you.

-You too.
-Fine.

I-jun, how was I?

Yes, you were great.

Let's play the claw machine.
I have three million won!

-Bo-ra!
-No, don't go.

Take me with you then.

I didn't know Bo-ra was that talented.

Give me all the prize money.

-What?
-What? We should split it three ways.

-No, it's mine.
-No way.

Are you seriously
trying to steal a kid's money?

Ju-ri, it's fine by me, so take my share.

-It's mine.
-No!

-Seriously?
-Give it here!

Come on.

I'll take this and do your braces.

-What?
-What?

I'll do your braces.

It's not for free though.

This is the first payment.

Pay the rest when you grow up.

So grow up well
if you want to pay your debt.

Hye-jin!

Thank you all for waiting.
We'll now take some photos.

-Here.
-Right.

Here, hold this for the photo.

-Cheese!
-Cheese!

Watch your step.

Are you seriously on your phone?

DOS is going live.

-It's almost time.
-Watch your step!

Ju-ri!

Juri, are you okay?

Startled by her own dad.

Lastly, we have a special event.

Wait, those people…

-Ju-ri…
-She won't talk to me.

-Not even look at me.
-Two, three.

-Hello.
-Hi.

-The operating system…
-Of the K-pop industry.

-We're DOS.
-We're DOS.

No way.

Ju-ri, it's DOS.

Tears drop as I turn the steering wheel
I'm on my way to you

I feel terrible
But there's so much traffic…

By the way, who are those boys?

Who knows? I don't recognize any of them.

What were they called again?

D! O! S! My gosh.

Are they DOS?

No wonder Ju-ri calls them her life.

-Did you film me earlier?
-Of course not.

If that's what you want
I can bring you back

Let's hope for a miracle

Please come back, just a feeling

How can boys be that pretty?

Seriously.
It's good for prenatal education.

Are you seeing this, my baby?

I'll send you the video I'm filming.

-Thanks.
-Thanks for what?

What?

Please come back

Bewildered and mesmerized
I can't escape you

Please, please, turn around

-DOS.
-You're the best!

The best!

Look how handsome they are!

The ending was killer. My gosh.

Where did she go?
Why isn't she picking up?

It hurts.

It stings.

Someone said that being nosy is incurable.

That it's annoying and uncomfortable.

She also said that she didn't
want to be the subject of gossip.

Is being inconsistent your motto?
Your words don't match your actions.

I'm leaving.

Maybe you like being on stage.

I guess you have a flair for the dramatic.

No wonder you danced on the pole
after having too much wine.

Are you nuts? Shut it!

You're actually
crossing the line right now.

You're the one who crossed it.

Exactly. And I'm telling you
to cross it comfortably like I do.

Don't be childish
and draw imaginary lines.

Let me borrow your eraser

and copy your homework once in a while.

Homework? Why would I?

Chief Hong!

Coming!

Where on earth did she go?

JUNE!

JUNE, just a second!

-Get on.
-What?

-Hop on!
-All right.

-Let's go.
-JUNE, wait!

JUNE, just a second!

-JUNE, wait!
-Wait!

-JUNE, hold on!
-Just a second!

-Wait!
-Wait!

JUNE, just a second. Wait.

-Wait!
-Don't go yet.

JUNE.

JUNE, just a second.

I'm a member of Hacker.

-I'm 14 and my name is Oh Ju-ri.
-Hang on.

That snaggletooth.

-I think I saw you somewhere.
-What?

I went to three of your concerts,
but I doubt you spotted me.

-Three times?
-Getting tickets was--

-Right. At the cafe.
-The cafe?

You called me a fake.

Never have I gotten that from anyone.

-I let it slide since you're cute.
-What?

-I'll see you around.
-Sure.

You'll see her around? Why? What for?

JUNE, you're super handsome!

Unbelievable.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm good.

Gosh, all right.

Let me see.

Look at that nasty bruise.

This is what you get
for being such a tomboy.

You should get acupuncture.

Forget it.

Get some for your back instead.

Why carry me with a herniated disc?

Just thank me if you're grateful.

If it weren't for me,
you wouldn't have gotten to talk to DOS.

That's not how you pronounce it.

Who cares how I pronounce it?

-Everyone cares.
-Something's weighing me down.

-Can you check for me?
-What's this?

What is it? I wonder what this is.

Wait. What's with all this money?

-What--
-It's what I got for today's gig.

I'll use it to pay for your braces.

Here.

I'm not getting it.

Why not?

I don't want to anymore. There's no need.

What? Why?

JUNE only recognized me
because of my teeth.

Plus, he said I was adorable. Adorable!

Can you be any more annoying?

What am I going to do with you?

I called you cute too,
but you didn't care for what I said.

That's different.

That JUNE must have superpowers.

Come on. You should get something to eat.

Can you help me up?

-Hey.
-Help.

-Hop on.
-Maybe I should.

All right.

-My gosh!
-What now?

I'm afraid I can't carry you twice a day.

-Forget it.
-Here.

Do we have patches left?
I'll stick a few on your back.

Slow and steady though.

Appreciate the scenery while we walk.

You brat.

-You know what?
-What?

Like you, I tried everything

to look good for your mom.

Really?

-I never told you this.
-What?

I even pierced my ears.

-Really? Let me see.
-It closed up ages ago.

Your mom hated it,
so I took it out three days later.

Can I pierce my ears too?

JINSEONG EXPRESS

It's still chilly at night.

Let's go home.

Dad, I thought you'd be in bed.

I was just about to turn in.
Is something up?

Do I need a reason to call?

I just did.

I see.

The plant that you sent me…

It's bloomed.

-Really?
-Yes.

Wow. From what I hear,
it only blooms once every seven years.

Really?

Yes. It's said that
the greatest luck in life

finds its way to the person who sees it.

Are you still there?

Yes. I'll water it well
and take good care of it.

Good.

Not too often though. The roots will rot.

Got it. Good night then.

Wait. Call once in a while
even though nothing's up.

I will.

So it bloomed?

What are you doing here?

Out on a walk.

What? Do I need permission to go on walks?

Which way?

This way.

Bye.

Why are you following me?

Again with Princess Syndrome.
I was headed this way too.

To be honest,
I came close to hating you again.

-What?
-But

what you did today was cool,
and I'm proud.

This is the type of thing
you shouldn't do.

People will get the wrong idea.

It'll be the last time.

I don't befriend just anyone, you know.

Those must be fireworks!

Well, they aren't gunshots.

I guess someone got the romance going.

It's unnecessarily pretty.

-It really is pretty.
-Hey--

I nearly died just now.

-Death was right in my face.
-What?

Seong-hyeon?

I've been looking everywhere for you.
I finally found you.

To the right! The right…

Whatever. I didn't see that.

Excuse me.

It's been a while, Hye-jin.

That will be 1,400 won.

Just a second.

Here's 100 won.

-That's 1,400 won, right?
-What?

You don't have to.

Enjoy your milk.

Wait!

YOON HYE-JIN

HONG DU-SIK

Do you two know each other?

How long has it been?

I'd like for you to explain something.

And not a word to him,

especially about that night.

What are you doing?

Caught between a rock and a hard place,
Chief Hong and Ji Seong-hyeon.

-Grandma, you know--
-Shut it.

I'm not going to fall
for whatever you say.

I won't film it unless it's that house.

There's something I want to know.

Is Hye-jin seeing anyone?
