Who the hell do you think you are?

You're crazy!

Don't you know who he is?

- You told him to wear a denture?
- He's a dental implant patient.

He never kept his appointments.

Whenever he did manage to show up,
his mouth reeked of whiskey.

I gave my best treatment for a patient

who has no interest in any treatment.

Does it look like I care what you say?

Who the hell do you think you are?

Not as a doctor, but as a human
being,

I cannot possibly work in an
environment like this.

I see what you're saying.

Alright. I'll accept your resignation.

I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision
for you.

I'm sorry this had to happen.

Well... You don't have to...

I wish you the best.

Ok...

Thank you...

I'll give you a call after I speak
with the director.

Thank you. I'll see you again.

Hey, it's me.

What was the name of that girl you
told me about?

You know, the weird one?

Yes... Yes...
Right! Hye-jin!

She submitted her resume to our
hospital!

Hello? Hi, how are you?

I'm good, thank you.

Yes?

I see...

I understand...

That's ok.

Thank you. Bye.

This would've been long gone if the
owner didn't insist on selling it to

a medical practitioner.

You're very lucky.

How much is it?

500 grand. Pretty good, huh?

I really like this one. The rent is
reasonable

- and I love this view!
- This is definitely the best deal!

Let's sign the contract now!

What's that over there?

Don't look!

This kind of place still exists?

Let's see...

Don't do that! Take your time!

Excuse me...

The rent is pretty cheap since it's
a rural area...

but nothing suitable for a dental
clinic...

Please, grandpa,

this is all I have.

If I want to get married, I gotta
make more money with this.

You need love to get married.
Not money.

Is there any way? Please?

I'd like to help you but,

you only
got so little money.

Send her to Mr. HONG.

Good idea. Go see Mr. HONG.

Mr. HONG?
Who's Mr. HONG?

This is perfect,

don't you think?

Check out this killer view!
This is perfect!

So yes or no?

Hurry up and decide!

Hold on. Let me look around a bit.

There is nothing to look around.

After new painting job, this place
will look totally different.

Alright. But,
let's look at another one.

Another one?

This is the best you're gonna get
with your money.

Plus, you also have to find a place
to live.

Man, this is great!

The perfect harmony between
nature and culture!

3 min. Walking distance from the
bus station.

And check out this
Mediterranean feel!

Ma'am!

- Recycling on Wednesdays!
- Isn't today Wednesday?

- No! Tomorrow!
- Thanks.

Let's go sign the contract.

Man... Why does he yell like that?

- Looks like you had a busy day.
- It was ok.

- Is your TV working good?
- Yup. Thanks for fixing it for us.

You got new stuff in.

I just got them in this afternoon.

Grandma!

- How's your daughter?
- She's doing good.

I'll see you later.

I'll rent it out at this price
because of you, Mr. HONG.

But, I still think it's too cheap.

C'mon, it's better than nothing.

Plus
the roof top studio is rented out too.

And it'd be nice to have a dentist
in our neighborhood.

- I guess...
- It's settled then.

You! Come and sign this!

Take one copy each.

Everyone's satisfied, right?

- I don't wanna hear complaints later.
- Ok.

- Mr. HONG, $12.50, right?
- Yup.

Here. 10, 2, and 50.

- Good work!
- Thank you.

C'mon, pay me.

For what?

The broker's fee.

Since I worked half a day,
you owe me $12.50.

$12.50?

This is the lowest broker's fee.

Everything I do, I get paid by the day.

50 bucks a day. Half a day 25 bucks.

So, you each pay me $12.50.

All told $25

You expect me to pay you a broker's
fee for that?

Do you even have license?

You're one of those people
who do everything by the law.

You should've told me earlier.
Hold on...

See?

It says...

0.5% for under 50 grand

And since you signed 2 deals...

Let's just do it your way.

What about the interior?

I'll do it
for 50 bucks a day under the table.

Hi.

Did my order come in?

You have money?

25 for working as a doorman, 25 for
broker's fee,

and 20 from selling dolls.

70 bucks
in total!

C'mon, I fronted 130 bucks
to get your order.

Honestly!

- Fine. Just give me 90.
- 80.

Really, I fronted 130 bucks

- It cost me 130! 85.
- 82.

83 and that's the bottom line.

- Ok.
- Man... You're real stingy fellow.

Let's see.
This is real good stuff.

I'll pay
you the rest tomorrow.

That's alright. Anyway,

my baby girl threw this and
broke it. Can you fix it?

You started already? I guess I'm
little late.

Man... Look at you...

Didn't you ever hear about the early
bird getting the worm?

It's mid morning already!

Ugh, you reek of alcohol.
Got drunk last night, huh?

I'm sorry for oversleeping but, it's
not the end of the world.

Besides, why are you lecturing me?

And why do you use rough talk!

You don't even know me well.

How old are you?

27!

Come on...

I know I look younger than my age.

Look at all the wrinkles
around your eyes.

Let's be honest to each other.

- 28.
- C'mon.

Oh my god...

30, right?

Whatever!

Fine. I'm 30!
Then how old are you?

A year older than you.
So be quiet.

But, still, you have no right to
lecture me, mister.

Think whatever you want.

I wasn't
lecturing you.

Like you weren't! Whatever!

Look at what you're wearing.
How can you work in that outfit?

Stop picking on my clothes!
What's wrong with what I'm wearing?

You can't work in that outfit.
It's too uncomfortable.

This is the only casual outfit
I have.

Wait here. I'll get some work
clothes for you.

Work clothes?

Do it right, will you?
You're making it all spotty.

It's my first time doing this

and I'm doing my best!

Look. Look what you did.

What? I'm not a professional painter!

Forget it. It's your office, not mine.

Paint it however you want.
What's this?

Don't you see this line?

It's all gonna blend in once it's
all painted!

What's wrong with what I'm doing?

I think it's painting perfectly fine.

Hye-jin,

I heard you got fired for
being a snob.

Who told you that?

I chose to leave my position.

I gave my resignation out of
my own will.

I heard you're opening up your own
office...

in the middle of nowhere.

It's not middle of nowhere!

It has
this Mediterranean feel to it.

It cost me tons of money for the
lease and the interior renovation.

- Hello?
- Hello?

Where have you been?

Yes... Sure.

- I finished it up by myself and...
- Thanks. Bye.

Hello? What the...

It was my interior designer.

He's
the hottest designer from NY.

He wants me to come by to look at

the Swedish tiles that just came in.

You're still picky as ever.

I wonder what kind of men will

put up with you.

What are you talking about? I'm not
picky at all.

Anyways, how's your husband?

Didn't he retire 3 years ago?

- Is he still doing nothing?
- I have to go use the restroom.

What a bitch!

You're lying, right?

About what?

About the Mediterranean feel and all.

I saw your resume in our hospital.

Mi-sun, you have to help me!

I haven't been here for 3 days.

I hope he did a good job.

I'm not gonna work in a shit hole.

Shut up.

Where is the light?

Wow! The place looks really nice!

I thought you spend all your money
on shopping!

When did you save up all the money
to do this?

I'm a pretty frugal person.

What are you doing here?

Working.

You work here too?

Just for today.

The clerk has a hot
date

It must be a rough life doing all
the odd jobs in the neighborhood.

This is the most expensive wine
in the store.

You got finer taste than I thought.

That's nothing.

I'm getting the real wine delivered
from Seoul.

You like drinking? Are you gonna
drink by yourself?

I guess you don't even have a
drink buddy.

Mind your own business!

I think you need to loosen up a bit.

I mean, it's not my place
to say this,

but your life is too rigid.

Nothing excites you and

everything
irritates you, right?

Like I said, mind your own business.

Whatever. $38.50, please.

Thank you.

Your change.

Think about your own life before you
stick your nose into others.

- I mean, look at yourself...
- Mind your own business!

Whatever...

Thank you. Bye.

What? Did I give you wrong change?

Thanks for doing a good job with my
office.

Bye.

Hey, you!

Tell me if you ever need a drinking
buddy.

Try dirnk together

Not in this life time.

What a snob...

I can spot your teeth
from a mile away.

Did you bleach them again?

Why don't you bleach yours, too?

I don't even like brushing them.

Are you ready to open your clinic?

Yup! Ready as ever!

I even put in an ad in the local
paper.

Do you have any more wine?

You finished that already?

There wasn't much.

You amaze me...

Delivery!

Did you order something?

I thought it's gonna get here
tomorrow.

- Are you YOON Hye-jin?
- Yes.

You ordered wine, right?
Please sign it here.

Sure.

Isn't is supposed to be delivered
tomorrow?

Why? Do you want me to bring it back
tomorrow?

No. This is fine. It's just that
I never had a delivery come earlier

than its expected date.

I brought it today because
I'm busy tomorrow.

Is that ok?

Bye.

45?tilt for the best picture!

Did you order lunch?

How come no one is coming in?

Be patient.

We just opened. It'll
get better.

I say 10 patients for each button.
What do you say?

Should I go for the unbuttoned
sexy look?

Why don't you just go for the full
naked look?

'Cuz that's too boring, stupid!

Put it over there. How much is it?

What is this?!

Look who we have here.

So you're a Chinese delivery boy,
today? The job suits you well.

What the hell were you thinking?

Do you ever use your brain?

What did I do this time?

Try to imagine...

what it's like to deliver one bowl
of noodles to an office

that's right above the restaurant!

I wouldn't say this if you were busy.
But, obviously you're not.

So, why can't you come down and eat?

Not everyone is as not busy as you.

Plus, you didn't even order anything
expensive!

Isn't delivery a given service?

If you don't like it, then change
your job.

You don't get it, do you?

Alright, listen very carefully.

Settling in a new neighborhood

isn't only
about giving out opening gifts.

You need to talk to your neighbors

and get to know them.

Plus, we're giving out

your opening
gifts along with our delivery.

And of course, people are getting
curious!

What's this present for?

This is the opening gift from the
dental clinic that just opened up.

Really? We have a dentist
in our neighborhood?

That's a good news!

Honey, Honey!

Why don't you stop by the
dentist with your father?

Don't you think they would say this
kind of stuff?

Yes, they would!

C'mon, use your head!

Leave the noodles. I'm hungry.

No way!

I'm on his shit list again...

Who's that?

He's so macho and sexy!

Macho? Sexy?

Super sexy!

He's exactly my style!
Is he the owner of the restaurant?

No. He's the neighborhood handy
man who works for 50 bucks a day.

What a waste.

I bet you studied real hard to
become a doctor.

Kind of. I didn't really study that
hard.

In any case,

thank you so much for
passing out the opening gifts for us.

No problem. That's what neighbors
do. We help each other.

I wasn't really hungry.

So can I stop eating now?

Hell no! Eat it!

Doctor!

Are you ok?
Did you get into a fight?

I'm ok. What can I do for you?

I forgot to tell you this earlier,

but every 15th and 30th of the month
is the town's cleaning day.

Everyone is waiting for us.
C'mon! Get your broom!

C'mon hurry up!

- Town's cleaning day?
- Yes.

Can I skip this time?

I just moved
in and all.

I can't make you go if you don't
want to go.

But, it's a good opportunity for you
to meet your neighbors.

But, if you really don't wanna go,

then you gotta pay the penalty fee.
5 bucks!

Doc!

Doc, open the door! Open up!

Now what?

Why do you act like this? C'mon!

Open the door right now!

Hey!

Open the door right now! Open it!

I promise I'm not gonna yell at you
so just open the door!

If you don't open it, I'm gonna
break it down!

Right now!

C'mon, open up for a sec! Didn't
I tell you to loosen up a bit?

Open the door right now! Open it!

I'm really gonna break it down!

Hi.

I'm sorry but I feel so horrible...

I promise to be there next time.

Are you really sick?

Of course.

Get your butt out there right now!

Listen, Mr. HONG. Who do you think
you are?

What a loser!

Who does he think he is?

The cleaning director?

The pain will go away

in a few days.

It feels good already.

I hope it wasn't too painful.

Thank you. You're a good doctor.

Grandpa, will you spread good words

about us to your neighbors then?

Of course!

- How much do I owe you?
- 5 dollars, sir.

5 dollars?

Here.

- Thank you.
- Be sure to take your medication.

- Alright. Bye.
- Thank you. Bye.

You know,

I really think that Chinese
restaurant method was effective.

I think you owe that delivery boy
a dinner.

He's not a delivery boy. He's the
neighborhood representative.

Neighborhood representative? People
still do that kind of stuff?

I don't know

Whatever he is, he seems like a such
a loser to me.

By the way, where did you go this
morning?

It was town's cleaning day.

And you know how thorough I am.

I spent all morning sweeping up the
streets.

No wonder my whole body is aching.

Nice going.

Ouch... It hurts.

Be gentle.

Stop being a baby and get up.

A baby?

Watch your mouth, you little wench!

Cool it.

Thank you, doctor.

By the way,

you have a nice ass.

- What?
- What are you gonna do about it?

You're kinda cute when you're angry.

She's a feisty one.

She sure is, boss.

What do you want?

Please leave. Or else...

Keep your mouth shut, you bitch!

Watch your mouth, boy.

We're in the company

of fine ladies here.

No need for foul language.

I just want to talk to you...

alone.

Do you know our boss's nickname?

It's Screwdriver.

Doc!

Why do you always...

I'm sorry. My apologies.

I'm sorry.

Doc, you should've told me you were
busy.

I would've understood.

I'll leave your lunch here. See you!

I'm sorry again.

Look who we have here.

Aren't you Screwdriver?

Man, you're still awfully dressed
as ever!

Sorry but you got the wrong person.
I'm not Screwdriver.

C'mon, don't you remember me?

I made a hole in your head with a
rock.

Let me see. Look, right here. Yup,
that's my work.

What are you talking about?

It was you who got beat up.

So you think you're a big shot, now...

Didn't I tell you I don't ever want
to see you around here again?

Whatever! What are you gonna do?

You want me to kick your ass again?

I'll kick your ass!

C'mon!

After you.

Look who's back.

Who is that?

That's the kid who almost became a
human vegetable

when he got beat up
by Mr. HONG in high school.

It's a miracle that he survived.

- Right! That's him!
- He looks fine to me.

But, what is
he doing here?

If you're done with your visit, then
you should go home quietly.

Why are you creating such fuss by
touching her butt?

I accidentally brushed against it
when I was getting my wallet out.

For real?

Of course.

Why are you getting so upset, anyway?

Is she your girlfriend or something?

I think you're over reacting.

She's my girlfriend!

We've been dating for a year and
next year, we're gonna get married.

Even if it was an accident, I still
have good enough reason

to kick your ass.

I disagree. It was my mistake.

And now, I'm just gonna go home.

Let's end it here for today. We'll
kick his ass next time.

Boss, I don't know how you got beat
up by that punk in the past,

but it's different now.

I know. But, I don't think this is
the right time.

C'mon, boss! We've got more men!
This is humiliating!

Why are you making a big deal out
of nothing?

Please believe in us, boss!

No, believe in me, you shitheads!

We can't stop here. Get him!

C'mon! Do something!

I had nothing to do with this.

Doo-sik!

It took me a lot to get
where I am today.

Please let me go.

Go and don't ever come back!

Thank you!

Take this screwdriver as
a sign of my gratitude.

It's the best screwdriver ever!

I wish you the happiest life together.

Get out of my face!

Mr. HONG, are you busy?

What's up, doc?

Just stopping by.

Wow, it's a boat!

It's a boat alright.

Are you fixing it for someone?

No. It's mine.

Really?

You don't seem like the type
with a boat.

Mind your own business.

Why did you put your boat on a hill?
It looks stupid.

Why do you care if I put it on a hill
or bury it underground?

Whatever. I just wanted to say thanks

for what you did this afternoon.

What did I do?

For delivering one maki roll

without yelling at me!

You got lot of books and records.

- What?
- Did you read them all?

Some.

I was gonna sell them for
some extra money.

It's almost ready!

This is the best
soup you'll ever taste in your life!

Cheers!

- Wow. It's really good.
- You like it?

Where did you learn to cook this?

From the chef across the street.

Sometimes I fill in for him.

Man of many talents...

but do you know how to do anything
right?

Are you trying to start a fight?

No. I'm just curious.

- Do you live here by yourself?
- Yup.

- Don't you get Ionely?
- Not really.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Nope.

How about you? Do you have a
boyfriend?

I don't think my style is popular
with men.

That's true.
Men usually like pretty girls.

Promise you're not gonna laugh.

I can't.

I'm gonna tell you anyway!

Don't laugh!

Here I go.

Since I was a little girl, I always
imagined that...

maybe I'm a princess from

a beautiful planet
far away from here.

I accidentally landed on earth
because my spaceship broke down.

I don't know when, but...

one day, a knight in shining armor
from my planet will find me here

and declare his love for me.

I have looked all over the universe
to find you.

You the most beautiful girl in this
universe and I love you so much.

Please accept my love for you.

You're not laughing.

Stop torturing innocent earthlings
and

go back to your own planet.

You're really annoying!

Why is she coming out from there?

Who was that?

I heard you slept with Mr. HONG.

Everyone's talking about it.

By the way,

I didn't know your ideal
type is the 'handyman' type.

You like the simplicity, huh?

Excuse me! Sir!

- Me?
- Do you see anyone else?

I'll give you chance to apologize
before I call the police!

About what?

Do we need to go to the police?

Or are you gonna apologize?

What are you talking about? Why do
I have to go to the police?

Pervert!

You just touched my butt!

With your right hand! Like this!

You're crazy.

You don't even have
nice ass.

Let's drop this, ok?
You're wasting my time.

Stop!

You crazy bitch! You're insane!

Shut up, you pervert!

As a representative of
sex crime victims,

I'll not tolerate scum like you!

The truth will be told!

Let go of me! I'll go there myself!

Yes... Yes, sir.

What a zealous activist...

Look, miss. The man is suing you.

The hospital said you hurt his neck.

What are you gonna do?
You have to talk.

How is it going, officer JIN?

Isn't she the new dentist?

You know her?

She's Mr. HONG's... you know?

No way...

They spent the night together
last night.

Really? She slept with Mr. HONG?

That's what I heard.

In any case,

where is Mr. HONG

when his girlfriend is in jail?

Do you need anything else?

I think this should settle the
matter.

Can we go now?

Uhm... Thanks for helping me out.

Nothing happened last night, right?

Man... You're hopeless...

What? Did something happen?

Did you black out last night?

Don't you remember anything?

You said you wanted us to be friends.
Don't you remember?

Please lend my shoulder,
just 5 minutes

You babbled on about
how much you need

a man's shoulder to lean on...

Forget it. Just forget it.

Why do I even bother...

So whether you like it or not, you
gotta find someone to marry.

Because you have to get married!

Marriage is a crazy thing.

Then are you not gonna get married
and die all alone?

Of course not!

I'll get married and have kids
and live happily ever after!

Tell me the truth!

Are you waiting for a prince
charming to show up

and sweep you off your feet?

Who doesn't like the idea of a prince
charming?

There is your prince charming.

Testing, testing.

I bet the singer caught a cold.

I'm filling in for Cheol-shik.

He has a cold.

A nice round of applause would help
me muster up enough courage to sing.

You can do it, Mr. HONG!

As... Sorry. I'm sorry.

Let's try this again.

As I count the stars in the sky,

I hear your voice.

I wish to be a fine flower dust

that gently lie on your petals.

As I gaze at the night sky,

I can feel your breath.

I wish to float in a small boat

that stays in your lake.

If you ever leave me,

I'll follow you till the end.

My love, I hold you in my arms...

What happened?

You should drive more carefully.

What are you talking about?
It was all your fault!

You slammed on your brake and

what was I supposed to do?

Do you how much this car cost?

More than your husband's
retirement fund!

Husband?

Fine! Talk to

my insurance company.

What a shitty day!

Let's just settle
it here.

How much do you want?

I said I'll give you the money now.

It's not about the money.

You could've just apologized.

It's not a big accident anyway.

You want me to apologize, huh?

I'm sorry.

I'm so fucking sorry.

Ok?

Dumb bitch! I'm leaving.

What the hell?

Oh, I'm really sorry too! So sorry!

Call my insurance! They'll take care
of everything! Bye!

You crazy bitch!

We're closed for the day.

- I need to speak with Dr. YOON.
- Mi-sun!

Hello, Doctor.

You got yourself in
a big trouble this time.

Under Para. 1 of Art. 50 of the Road
Traffic Act,

you're under arrest for hit and run.

Let's go.

Wait! I'll go there myself!
Hit and run? Whatever!

Sir, I'm so sorry.

You little punk! Are you trying to
give me a heart attack?

Sir, I'll apologize for
what happened.

Please calm down!

I'll let it pass this time only
because of you, Mr. HONG.

Thank you very much. I'll make sure
this will never happen again.

She's quite a lady.

What are you looking at,

you little punk!

- You think you're off the hook?
- Sir, please!

Drink!

It's the best remedy
when you feel like shit.

Drink and forget everything.

C'mon, drink.

Aren't you gonna yell at me?

Accidents happen.

Though he doesn't drive well...

That kid was gonna get himself in
trouble sooner or later.

You were just unlucky.

Will you stop crying?
It's not that big of a deal.

Where is your confidence?

You should've given a little speech
representing all drivers.

Why are you looking at me like that?

How did you become such
good friends with police officers?

About 3 years ago, I caught a few
sneaky thieves for them.

And a few robbers.

I received couple of honorary
citizen's awards, too.

Why are you nice to me?

Don't flatter yourself.

I'm just doing my job.

Do you like me?

Whatever!

Oh my god!

What are you doing here?

I heard you slept
with Mr. HONG again.

Everyone's talking about it.

No way! How do they know?

This is insane!

We're just friends, ok?

Friends!

Friends who sleep together?

That's usually called 'sex partners.'

Don't get weird ideas!

Nothing happened.

- Don't you believe me?
- I believe you.

- Good.
- So, how was it?

Was it good?
How many times did you do it?

3 times?
I'm so jealous!

What are you doing here at this
hour?

What's up!

- What's wrong?
- C'mon! Hurry!

Wait! What are you doing? I'm cold!
I'm not going! Stop it!

Where are you taking me?
Let go of me! Stop it!

- Just come!
- To where?

- Come!
- Stop it!

You want me to deliver a baby?

I'm a dentist, not an obstetrician!

I can't do it. I can't!

Yes, you can!

You just have to stay next to her.

The midwives will do the rest!

Then why do I need to be here?

Just watch over the whole thing.

Wait!

Doctor! Please help me!

I don't really know what to do...

She said she can't give birth
without a doctor!

Whatever you do!

Don't worry!
She's almost out! Push!

Oh my gosh! What do I do?

My beautiful baby...

I pray for my baby to grow up as
smart and as pretty... as you...

There you are. I was looking all
over for you.

Hey, doc.

Thanks. You did good.

Are you her father or something?
Why do you thank me?

Just because. Thanks.

No, I should thank you.

Thank you for the precious
experience...

What are you thinking?

Just thinking.

What kind of 'just thinking'?

I know! You're thinking about
your first love, right?

No.

I'm thinking about the world that
you couldn't possibly understand.

Like what?

What can't I possibly
understand?

How do you feel now?

I feel offended.

Not that. How do you feel about
this place?

It's nice. Quiet and clean air.

That's it?

What else is here?

Close your eyes.

- Why?
- Just close them!

You must concentrate.

Can you feel the moonlight reflecting
on the ocean?

Do you feel wind tickling your face?

Doesn't it feel like the wind is
asking you to play with him?

Try to feel them all together...

So this is it. This is the world
I didn't know.

It's so wonderful.

I did some background check for you.

Are you interested?

What about?

What is it?

Mr. HONG's past.

Why do you go around digging up
other people's past?

How would you feel
if someone else did it to you?

Then forget it.

Sit.

Let's see. His name is HONG Doo-sik.

But he's known as Mr. HONG.

I know that already.

Let's see.

Both of his parents
passed away in car accident

before he even entered elementary
school.

Really?

Since he didn't have any relatives,

he was to be sent to an orphanage.

However, he was a bright little boy

and a grandpa...

who used to own a local rice store,
adopted him as his son.

The townspeople shared all the cost,
such as education and others.

When he was a kid, he wasn't a big
boy.

But, with his guts,

he ruled all the
neighboring schools.

In another words,
he was a legendary character.

No way.

Oh, and he's got some nerves

that he even scares off ghosts.

I'm a virgin ghost...

Stop crying!

No way! Even a ghost?

Please don't tell anyone.

You little weakling!

Don't get funny ideas!

I didn't!

What else?

After his grandpa passed away of
a heart attack,

he's been living by himself in that
warehouse.

Heart attack?

- I see.
- That's it!

Oh, and there is one more strange
thing about him.

What?

There are unexplained
3 void years of his life.

According to what I found,

he went back to school
after his army service.

But the 3 years after school...

till he came back to
this town are missing.

Some say...

he was a spy who was sent to
North Korea.

Others say

he was the translator at
Korean-American Conference.

There is also a rumor that he was a
big time CIA agent.

That sounds preposterous.

I also heard

he swam across the
Atlantic Ocean.

But, none of these stories
have been proven.

So they don't mean a thing.

That's it!

- Now it's your turn to talk.
- About what?

You have to promise me
you're not gonna tell anyone!

I promise.

Mr. HONG and I...

- We kissed.
- Really? How far did you guys go?

What do you mean?

I mean, there are different kinds of
kisses.

- A light peck or a deep...
- It wasn't like that!

You liked it, huh?

It wasn't bad.

So what's the problem?

We can never be in that kind of
relationship.

It was just that night...

So you're saying nothing happened
and you guys are just friends.

Right.

This is the best picture!

Dr. YOON's office.

May I speak with Dr. YOON, please?

- Who?
- YOON Hye-jin, please.

Hye-jin? May I ask who this is?

Someone she knows.

Someone she knows...
Someone she knows.

Someone she knows?

- Are you looking for your girlfriend?
- This is her father.

Mr. YOON?!

Why do you always make
my life more complicated?

What are you gonna do now?

What can I do?

You father already
hates me.

It's always that big mouth of yours
that causes trouble!

What?

So you want me to pretend to be your
boyfriend in front your father?

That can't be that hard.

Really?

Of course.

50 bucks a day, right?

- Sure.
- Ok.

You're looking good, sir.

You're looking better
yourself, miss.

You should come by sometimes.

Even though he doesn't show it,

I know your father misses you
much.

I can tell by just looking at him.

It's been over 30 years, you know?

Are you sure it's not you who misses
me more?

Perhaps.

He calls you 'miss'?

Should he call me 'mrs.' then?

What the hell are you thinking?

Use your head, boy!

Young people now days all act
like they're big shots,

but inside, they don't know

how to do anything right.

You wanna give it a shot?

I remember

what she said to me when
she moved out from home.

She said my money smells like shit,
not sweat.

She worked through college

and never
asked a penny from me.

I guess she wasn't qualified to
receive any scholarships.

Lately, she started to send me some
money.

She said she wants to pay back every
cent she ever got from me.

I agree.

It's important to have clean
money dealings

between family members.

Pretty good.

Where did you learn
how to play chess?

I used to play with grandpas

in my neighborhood
for a bowl of noodles.

What's your relationship with my
daughter?

- We're just friends.
- Just friends...

Yesterday,

she asked me to pretend
to be her boyfriend for a day.

In fact, now I work

part tiime job

- What do you mean?
- We don't any special relationship

That's what we do. We help each
other whenever we need help.

You accept money from your friends?

If they pay me,

they feel better
about asking me for help.

That's my way of earning money.

That's an interesting idea. I like it.

He's lasting pretty long.

A record breaker.

- Hey! You!
- What are you doing?

You can't do that!

Withdraw your last move!

That's not gonna happen.

You little!

Don't you have any respect

for elders?

Fine. I'll withdraw.

I was having such a good time until
you made that last move.

Now, it's finished! You lost!

Checkmate!

What? Are you toying with me?

You cheated! I don't want to play
anymore!

Get out of my face!

- Drive safely.
- Take care of yourself.

I will.

Mr. YOON wants you to come by
sometimes. When will it that be?

Me?

I'm not sure.

I'll see you again.

- Goodbye.
- Bye.

What are you doing tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

Mr. KIM at the gas station asked me
to come in for a day.

Why do you live like that?

What's wrong with how I live?

It's pathetic

and has no future.

Why are you trying to start a fight?

It's you who's pathetic and has no
future.

Me?

What's wrong with me?

You're getting old and
want to get
married,

but can't to find anyone
who's good enough for you.

You're Ionely and can't fall asleep.

You drink yourself to sleep and the
next day you suffer from a hangover.

Then you ask yourself,

what's the point of living like this?

You're really annoying!

Where are you going?

Home!

Aren't you gonna pay me?

If I don't, are you gonna sue me?

Pay me!

Sue me!

Pay me!

Hi! How was business yesterday?

It was ok.

I really like the lighting in my office.

Thanks.

- You got new stuff in?
- They came in this afternoon.

Grandma, how your new denture?

It's good.

- Stop by sometimes.
- Ok. Thanks.

I like your new hairdo. Did you get
it done at a hair salon?

- Where are you going?
- To the market.

You kids! Don't smoke!

It's bad for your teeth!

What do you think?

Doesn't it look different
with a new paint job?

I guess.

What's wrong? Do you need help with
something?

Mr. HONG, let's do something
together.

We are doing something together.

Not like this.

Like going out on a date.

What are you talking about?

I'm a dentist and you're a handyman.

I think this is a good deal for you.

What do you say? Yes or no?

I'm sorry but...

I only think of you as a friend.

I just can't think of you like that.

I'm sorry.

I was joking. You took it so
seriously.

I'm sorry.
I thought you might have

a wrong idea
about us because of that night.

I'm sorry.

I'll see you later.

This is so embarrassing.

What's this?

Can't you read?
It's my resignation.

Do you know
what have changed and

what haven't changed in past year?

The number of patients and

your bank account have
changed for the better.

What haven't changed are
your apathy

and the ever-busy nurse, me!

I think your skirt has gotten
shorter, too.

It's not funny.

I will not allow myself to be the
victim of overwork and low salary.

If that's how you really feel,
I'll accept it.

How can you do this to me?

You know what I'm trying to say
with this resignation!

I can't believe you're just gonna
accept it!

I'm gonna close our office.

What are you talking about?

Let's go back Seoul!

With the money
we saved from here,

I'm sure we can get a decent space
in the outskirts.

Hye-jin...

You're the one who wanted to go.

Hello.

Hi.

Ma'am, be careful!

Is this another one of your day jobs?

This? No.

It's Myung-cheol's grandpa's work.

But he's too sick to come in today.

It only pays him 20 bucks a day but
that's a lot money for an old man.

- Mr. HONG!
- What?

I'm closing my office.

Really? Why?

I got a call from my colleague about
a good office space in Seoul.

Really? Good for you.

My lease isn't up yet,

but you can
take care of that, right?

I'm happy for you. Congratulations...

What? Do you have something to say?

- Yes.
- Say it!

I was thinking, if you don't think
of me as a such a bad person,

maybe we could have more
positive relationship...

We could go on a date or go see a
movie like normal people...

And maybe we could change
in more positive way.

What? I couldn't hear you well.
Say it again?

Forget it. I'll see you later.

Be careful!

Hey, Dr. YOON!

If you need any help, I'm always
here to help you.

Where are you going?

Home.

You have a patient.

A patient? Right...

What's wrong with you all day?

I just like the sun.

What are you, a pigeon?

Besides,
it's not even light out.

He's been waiting for more than 20
minutes!

Really?

Hey, are you going to that
Christmas party?

I don't think so. Go without me.

If it's a crime to be beautiful...
then I might get executed.

Hye-jin,
I was looking all over for you.

Hello. How have You been?

Good. Thank you.

I forgot to introduce you two!

This is Mr. NOH Do-cheol.

Nice to meet you

I received couple of honorary
citizen's awards, too.

Would you like another drink?

No thank you.
I don't drink much now days.

I'm gonna go out
for some fresh air.

- May I join you?
- I prefer not. Thank you.

Hye-jin!

If you keep up this act, you're not
gonna meet any men!

As you all know,

Cheol-shik went to Seoul

for the audition of his life.

However, considering
we haven't heard from him yet,

I assume the result is
as same as the last one.

I know I have to forget you now...

The door to my empty room is closed...

And your scent still lingers on,

filling up my empty room...

As I lay here all alone,

you appear in front of my eyes...

- As I turn to forget you...
- Not like this.

- Tears silently flow down...
- Like going out on a date.

Everything is nothing more than

memories of times forgotten...

But, the night seems endless

and I can't seem to forget you...

The dawn finally arrives
at my window...

My room seems to have grown...

On my white window,

I write and I erase... 'I love you.'

Every night, the stars on the sky

shine radiantly...

But in my heart,
you're the only one...

You're my only star...

The dawn finally arrives
at my window...

My room seems to have grown...

On my white window,

I write and I erase...
'I love you.'

I have to tell you something.

It's been a long time. How's work?

Doo-sik, do you remember
you told me

you want us to be good friends?

You should've called first.

Would you like some tea?

I thought about what you said and...

I don't want to be your friend.

You and I can never be friends.

So, from now on...

you and I are

nothing.

Anyway,

since we're no longer
friends,

even if you need a
drinking buddy...

even if you're in trouble...

even if
you're bored and Ionely and

even if you're deathly ill...

don't ever call me again.

That's what I wanted to tell you.

Let's have a drink.

I thought maybe

you might show up
one day for a drink.

So I got everything ready for

the day
you might decide to come by again.

All of your favorites...

So I could
change your mind about leaving.

Hye-jin...

can I have this drink with you?

Of course.

- Doo-sik...
- Yes?

Do you remember what I asked you
before?

About your boat...

I asked you why
you put it on a hill like a fool.

If I put it on the water,

I was afraid it might sail away
by itself.

It's weird but when I love something
or someone,

they all leave me.

My parents... Grandpa
who raised me...

I just wanted them to stay with me...

Now, you can put your boat
on the water.

I'm here with you.

Thanks.

Oh, and you have to pick me.

Pick you for what?

Next month, I'm gonna run for the
district representative.

Really? So, now you're the new
district representative?

Maybe. We'll see.

Mr. HONG, the new district
representative... That sounds weird.

You think? Why?

I don't know... Just because...
