KEEP TO THE RIGHT

The 44th floor.

-The doors are closing.
-Wait! Hold on!

Thank you.

Gosh, it's hot. Could you…

Oh, my. We live on the same floor.

I see.

It's nice to meet you.

You too.

I live in Unit 4403.

It's my daughter's house, not mine.

I see.

I'm only staying for a few days.

-You must've worked out.
-I did.

You're so pretty.

Thank you.

You look around my daughter's age.
Are you married?

No, not yet.

I see. People nowadays don't need
to get married if they're competent.

My daughter works for an ad company.
What about you?

I also work for a company.

Which company?

-Well, then.
-Right.

Oh, my. You're right next door.

Right.

Goodness. People these days
order delivery too often.

-It's healthier to cook yourself.
-I see.

Would you like some of my side dishes?

No, that's okay.

I appreciate it, though.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye, ma'am.

-Have a good day.
-Okay.

PPOYAN DENTAL CLINIC

DOCTOR YOON HYE-JIN

Dr. Yoon, Ms. Kim Yeon-ok is here.

She's here early.

EPISODE 1

-Hello.
-Hello.

You're from this morning…

What a small world.

You said you worked for a company,
but you're actually a dentist.

Shall we get you an X-ray first?

-Sure.
-Okay.

Thank you so much.

-My pleasure.
-Many of my teeth ached.

I was worried it'd be costly,
but you're too kind.

My daughter's paying, so I wasn't going
to do it if it was pricey.

I see. Your daughter must care
about you a lot.

She does.

Go home safely,
and I'll see you next time you come.

Thank you so much.

-Goodbye.
-Thank you.

Goodbye.

Did we get new magazines?

You don't need to help me.

Aren't these beautiful?

They've been in my online cart

for a long time.

Why? I'm sure you can afford them.

I'm waiting for the promo code.

It doesn't hurt to get a discount.

They're so pretty.

Dr. Yoon, may I have a word with you?

Sure.

I just read your chart.

On Ms. Kim Yeon-ok?

Yes. You suggested only one implant

and three cavity treatments.

Correct. I'm planning to preserve
her teeth as much as possible.

-You're more careful than I thought.
-Sorry?

She'll need to get implants
for the rest sooner or later,

so it's best to get them right now
to prevent any more damage.

The best defense is a good offense.
You know that, right?

And you're one
of the best strikers our clinic has.

All right. Come up
with a new strategy, okay?

She's my patient.

I have the right
to plan her treatment the way I deem fit.

Please respect that.

Sure. If that's what you believe,

then okay.

Good day.

PPOYAN DENTAL CLINIC

What?

What do you mean?
I'm not in charge of her anymore?

The chief doctor is going
to treat Ms. Kim Yeon-ok herself.

What is this? Don't you know how to knock?

Ms. Kim is my patient.

-Give her back.
-What?

I don't care how you treat other patients,

but don't touch mine.

You seem to be hinting

there's a problem
with the way I treat patients.

It seems like you have
a lot to say, so go ahead.

You suggested double-jaw surgery
to a patient with joint issues,

non-insured materials to raise the fee,

and implants for teeth
that could be saved.

Ripping off patients is your specialty.

What did you say?

It's doctors like you that make people
suspect dental clinics of overtreatment.

Are you serious right now?

Did you forget I'm the one paying you?
How dare you act all upright?

You think your salary grows on trees?

Let's get our facts straight.

It's more like you're making money
thanks to me.

Most of the patients here are mine.

Have you gone mad?

How dare you look down on a doctor
who has much more experience than you?

"I will practise my profession
with conscience and dignity.

The health and well-being of my patient
will be my first consideration."

What are you spewing?

The Hippocratic Oath.
Do you even remember it?

And you call yourself a doctor.

Hippocrates would turn in his grave.

What a nutjob. Stop right there.

You won't get away with this.
You'll never be able to find work…

Hey! You're…

Hippocrates?

DOCTOR YOON HYE-JIN

So you just quit?

Yes.

What about the patient?

I introduced her to another clinic.

What is the motto you've lived by
for the past 20 years?

"Don't be nosy and focus on myself."

Exactly. It was very unlike you
to care about her.

She was on a power trip.
I have my own convictions as a doctor.

I see. Is that why you bought
those shoes as soon as you quit?

Of course. I gifted myself
a little something for my retirement.

The underlying message is
"Better days to come."

I'm sure your credit card company
sent you a message first.

"You have to pay
an extra two million won this month."

-Let's break up.
-Sure.

So what will you do?

Are you going to be jobless
and have bad credit?

I don't know. I don't have
enough money to open my own clinic.

I'll have to slave away
under someone wealthier than me.

I just hope I get paid well.

We're going to be slaves forever.

We got to find a way to escape it.

-Let's drink until we drop.
-Sounds good.

I didn't even shower.

What time is it?

DR. LEE

You're texting me already?

Can't run things without me?

How dare you post it
on the online dental community forum?

I'll make you pay for this.

You will never be able to work
in this line of work ever again.

Post what?

BOOYOUN DENTAL CLINIC
RECRUITMENT RESULT

AFTER MUCH CONSIDERATION,
WE DECIDED NOT TO RECRUIT YOU

This is bad.

Your chief doctor must be spreading
false rumors about you.

Our chief doctor
immediately knew it was you

as soon as he read your résumé.

More bills?

MOM'S BIRTHDAY

SUWON

-Du-sik.
-Yes?

I asked for a competent worker,

so how could you send me
a guy who gets very seasick?

Jeez. You're still just as impatient.

No one's a pro from the start.
They need time to adjust.

Hey, a fisherman
that can't ride a boat is ridiculous.

He's a rookie, so cut him some slack.

He came all the way
to Korea to work, you know?

I know. Fine.

How are you holding up?

I was struggling

because the boat was swaying.

But now, even the ground is swaying.

We call it "land sickness."

Here.

It's peppermint tea.

I see.

I dried the leaves myself.
It'll help you with the nausea.

Thank you.

Good?

Right.

Stick these in your ears
before sailing out tomorrow.

They'll help prevent seasickness.

Thank you.

Give me the cup next time.

Also,

good work.

-You too.
-That's it!

Eat before you go!

Next time.

You better not drink in broad daylight,
or I'll tell your wife.

I won't, so enough with the nagging.

-See you tomorrow.
-Bye.

Hurry up, man.

Let's go.

-You're here early.
-Yes.

-Are the goods coming today?
-They already did.

-I see.
-Hey.

-Hello. How's business?
-Good. Try some.

-Should I?
-Sure.

-Isn't it savory?
-It is.

-Hope you sell lots today.
-Thanks.

Are you getting hot water?

Of course. You fixed it after all.

-Have some.
-Gosh.

Thanks for the pot.

Right. Isn't it sturdy?

-It is.
-Good.

Congratulations on the birth
of your grandchild.

Hey, Chief Hong.
Would you like to see a photo?

Sure. Let me see.

The baby takes after your daughter.
Their mouth looks exactly like yours.

I think it's changed a bit.

Mom!

Hye-jin, be careful.
You'll hurt yourself if you run like that.

Okay, Mom!

Hye-jin.

Hey, you're good at this.

Yes?

Hi, Dad. It's me, Hye-jin.

I know. What is it? Is something wrong?

No, I just called to say hi.

It's unlike you. You never call
unless something's going on.

You're right.

-Is that Hye-jin?
-Yes.

Tell her I said hi.

Okay. Bye, then. Take care of yourself.

You too, Dad.

It doesn't hurt to be friendly.

You're always so cold
although you don't mean it.

No candy?

You're not a kid.

But it's so bitter.

Honey, what's the date today?

Today?

I think it's March 23.

Oh, no.

Oh, no!

Thank you.

But did you only find one of them?

I'm truly thankful,

but have you seen the other shoe?

I wore them for the first time today.

They were expensive.

Since you've already found this,

could you help me find the other one?

I guess there have always
been people like you.

Sorry?

If not, our ancestors
wouldn't have come up with the saying.

"Save a person from drowning,
and they'll ask for your belongings."

Goodness. That's not what I meant.

It's just that I have a fear of water,

but you don't seem to.

So I just thought you might help me.

You must be mistaken.
I didn't retrieve your shoe.

Your shoe just floated onto my board.

This shiny object
suddenly appeared in front of me.

Do you know how startled I was?

It wasn't intentional, but I apologize.

I'm not the type to ask
for a favor shamelessly.

But as you can see, I'm barefoot.

And my car is parked far away.
So could you please…

It's healthy to walk barefoot. Move.

What should I do?

Hey!

Take them.

TOILET-USE

HWAJEONG RAW FISH RESTAURANT

I'm good.

Then just walk barefoot.

TOILET-USE
HWAJEONG RAW FISH RESTAURANT

Goodness.

Hey, kid. Did this just fall out?

Oh, dear.

I'm a dentist.

Can I take a look?

Goodness. It's okay.

You're okay. So stop crying
and let me take a look.

Did it fall out on its own?

No.

That's not what happened.

Oh, no.

I hit him with my shoe pouch!

Then why are you crying
when he's the one who got hit?

I'm sorry.
You're very mature for your age.

Open your mouth.

Open wide.

It's your baby tooth.

Is there a dental clinic nearby?

It takes 30 minutes by car.

I see. Is your house nearby?

He just keeps complaining
without any reason.

That's why when you mentioned it,
that guy said, "Yes, sir."

I'd understand if it wasn't habitual.

Darn it!

Sorry.

Forget it.

HWAJEONG RAW FISH RESTAURANT

Oh, it's your wife.

-You…
-What do you mean?

We divorced three years ago.

I'm sorry. It's a force of habit.

Having lunch?

Yes, we are.

What are you having?

Rice soup. Over there.

-Right.
-Why don't you ever eat here?

Since you ate here free for ten years,
you don't want to pay for meals here?

No, it's not like that.

He can't have raw food. That's why.

-I can't?
-You don't eat raw food.

Right. I'm sorry.

I sell cooked food too.

Fish roe soup, pollack soup,
seaweed soup with sea urchin.

I see. We'll come next time then.

You better. Green onion seafood
pancake will be on the house.

Thanks.

Bye.

Mom!

-I-jun! Goodness, my son.
-Hi, I-jun.

What are you eating?

What? Is this blood?

What happened? Did you get hurt?

-It fell out.
-What did? Why?

Your tooth fell out.
You shouldn't have pulled it out yourself.

The hospital. Get the car.

-Okay.
-Calm down, will you?

What happened? Did it fall out on its own?

Who gave you that gauze?

Hello.

I went to the pharmacy
and got him the gauze.

You don't need to worry too much.

-Really, is that so?
-Yes.

By the way, who are you?

Why are you wearing our toilet slippers?

HWAJEONG RAW FISH RESTAURANT

Oh, my.

I wonder who took them
and gave them to you.

Well, it's a long story.

I promise to give them back next time.

It's okay. Wear them for the day
and throw them away.

Thank you. I should get going.

You can't leave like that.

Since you're here,
eat something. It's on the house.

That's okay.

You helped my son. I'd feel terrible
for not repaying your kindness.

Would you like some raw fish?

I'm really okay.

If you insist, could I have seaweed soup?

Here.

It looks good.

You can have more rice.

You're so skinny. Are you a size four?

I'm not skinny. I'm a size five.

Back in the day, I was as thin as a stick.

But then, I gave birth.

So these days, I only have this much rice

and lots of side dishes for dinner.

It'll get cold. Eat up.

Okay. Thank you for the meal.

It's good.

-It's all thanks to the oil I use.
-I see.

I used to run an oil store in the past.

Is this your first time in Gongjin?

This is my second…

Third time.

Visit us more often.

I'm not saying this because it's
my hometown. It's a really nice place.

Look at that beautiful sea.

Gongjin Harbor feels like
my late mother's embrace to me.

I love everything about Gongjin

except that there's no dental clinic.
That's the only downside.

I heard that it takes 30 minutes by car.

That's right. Had there been
a clinic here,

patients would be lining up.

I mean, there are a lot of old people
who need implants and dentures here.

-Is that so?
-Yes.

Let me know if you're ever interested.

I'll recommend a good area.

It's delicious.

Right?

Are you free from 3 p.m.
to 7 p.m. the day after tomorrow?

-Sure.
-Help me, Du-sik.

Four hours tomorrow night.

Can you come out again in two days?

Your goods are here.

CHUNG-HO HARDWARE

You're sleeping again.
At least, shut your eyes when you sleep.

My gosh.

Hey.

-Where is it?
-Over there.

-Where?
-Over there.

It's not here.

It's there.

-It's not here.
-It's here.

Here.

It's not funny.

Gosh, check this out.

Look at how shiny it is.

No wonder it's pricey.

You know it. I should charge you
150,000 won for that,

but I'll only ask for 120,000 won.

-Make it 90,000 won.
-It's from abroad.

What?

Then with the shipping fee,
I'll pay 92,500 won.

-This isn't normal delivery.
-I know you.

I know how much profit you make.

Let's see.

What are you doing?

-It's not opening.
-Hurry up.

-Open it already.
-It's not opening.

Come on. Stop joking around.

It's open. I'm going to ask
the grandma to fix this.

One, two,

-three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
-Three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

-nine.
-nine, ten.

Ninety thousand.

Two thousand… Can I give you coins?

-Give me bills.
-I only have big bills.

-Give me bills.
-Take coins.

-Give me bills.
-No small bills.

-Give me 10,000 won.
-Here's 2,500 won.

A 2,500-won bonus.

See you.

Damn it.

-What?
-What?

-What?
-Why are you back?

-I forgot this.
-Okay.

That's worth 20,000 won. Damn it.

Darn it.

Jeez, he gave me ten-won coins.

MONTHLY RENT
YEARLY RENT

It's definitely cheaper than Seoul.

I can afford to open my own clinic here.

MONTHLY RENT 10 MILLION DEPOSIT
YEARLY RENT 180 MILLION

Don't be ridiculous.
Opening a clinic in this countryside?

God, this is driving me crazy.

They were really expensive.

Let's just go home.

Let's go.

What?

Why won't it start?

Did the battery die?

Why now?

Insurance company…

Is this it?

Why now of all times?

Are you serious?

I know I'm in the boondocks,

but how could I not get a phone signal?

Or is it broken?

No. It worked just fine a while ago.

I'll use the phone at the restaurant.

My stomach…

Did I eat too much for lunch?

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

Is that a cafe? Gosh.

-Welcome.
-One cup of Americano, please.

-Sure.
-Where's the restroom?

Do you want hot or iced…

Iced coffee all the way.

She must've been in a hurry.

All right, then.

Much better.

"EXERCISING IN THE MOONLIGHT"

Do you feel better?

You must recognize him.

I don't.

Then why were you staring at it?

It just caught my eye.

You may not know his name but his song,
"Exercising in the Moonlight."

He came second on Top Ten Songs in 1993.

Exercising in the moonlight
Because I can't sleep

I don't recognize it.

-Enjoy your coffee.
-Thank you.

What was that?

It tastes horrible.

Seriously.

An autograph?

I'm sorry, but may I use your phone?

Go ahead.

Thank you.

This is the song I was talking about.

I'm sure you've heard of it.

Doesn't the melody sound familiar?

-This is the chorus.
-I'm sorry, but it's not working.

Why wouldn't it?

What? That's strange.

What's wrong with this?

Use my cell phone.

Thank you.

That's strange.

This isn't working either.

Why is neither of them working?

I'd like to pay.

Okay.

You didn't touch the coffee.

What a waste. You should finish it.

It's okay. I just want to pay.

Right. Take it to go.

No, it's okay. I'd just like to pay.

I can be quick.

Okay. All right.

What's wrong?

CHECKING…

It's not working.

Is the card the problem?

My card?

I'm so pissed. Why isn't my phone working?

Pissed? Ju-ri, didn't I tell you
not to use such words?

I think there's a problem
with the card reader.

Do you have cash?

-Cash?
-Yes.

I have none.

Not even 4,000 won? It's just 4,000 won.

You see, I don't carry cash.

Still, how could you
not even have 4,000 won?

Well… I'm sorry.

If there's a bank nearby,
I'll go withdraw some cash right now.

But how can I trust you?

What if you never come back?

-I'll leave my bag here.
-Okay.

Dad.

-What?
-Don't accept that. It's fake.

-It'd still cost more than 4,000 won.
-Hey,

this is genuine.

Stop lying.

What kind of person
carries a pricey bag and wears those?

-Wear what?
-Look at those.

Let me see. "Hwajeong"?

I have my reasons…

I'll leave my phone here. Okay?

Your phone?

Let me see.

It's the latest model.

-Look. It's the latest model.
-What?

You can go.

Gosh. How aggravating.

How dare that little brat
call my bag fake?

She has no idea how much I value brands.

EAST SEA BANK

What?

DURI BANK GONGJIN BRANCH

What?

Excuse me. Why isn't the ATM working?

I'm sorry, ma'am. It suddenly broke down,
so we're looking into it.

We're not sure when it'll get fixed.

I see.

There are some issues
at the banks as well,

so I can neither withdraw
nor wire you any money.

I'm sorry, but could I wire it
to you back in Seoul?

I'd never bilk money,
only 4,000 won at that.

No.

It's not like we can tell.

Look.

This is my business card.

My phone number is written there too.

DOCTOR YOON HYE-JIN

Are you a dentist?

Yes.

Who knows? This could be fake too.

-Hey.
-Dad…

That's real, and so is my bag.

-Watch what you say.
-Is she crazy?

-Dad…
-Are you okay?

Hey.

You ended up wearing them.

Do you know her?

I'm not sure how to answer that.

We do know each other.

We met once before.

What's up?

She's trying to leave
without paying for the coffee.

What? Come on.

That's not true. I ordered some coffee.

But everything is broken.
My credit card, phone,

-and the ATM.
-She's right.

All phones, internet,
and banks froze in Gongjin.

What?

There was a fire at Hanguk Telecom.

Are you serious? No way. Dad, look it up.

It doesn't work.

-Right.
-See?

It really doesn't work.

When will it be fixed?

Probably not anytime soon.
They haven't extinguished the fire.

Awesome. I should go watch.

Hey! You're going to pee
in your sleep tonight!

-Ju-ri!
-Whatever!

-It's dangerous!
-It's not.

-Darn it.
-Hey.

Can you spare me a minute?

Can I ask you something?

Me?

-Yes.
-Okay.

I…

I've never asked anyone
something like this before,

so I'm not sure how to bring it up.

Could you lend me 4,000 won?

I'm never this shameless. But…

Things aren't really going my way today.

I know I may seem
like a nuisance to you. I understand that.

But I'm in an urgent situation right now.

So could you please be kind
and help me out?

You want me to be kind.
So you're not this type of person?

Exactly. Normally, I refuse
to be indebted to anyone.

Let me get this straight.
So if the circumstances allowed,

you could get out of this on your own?

Exactly.

Then follow me.

What?

The 4,000 won.

I'll help you earn it instead.

Look. I'm following you as you said,

but how will I earn it?

Through valuable hard work, of course.

You're not taking me
somewhere shady, are you?

Eun-cheol!

Du-sik, did you hear about the fire?

Yes, just a while ago.

I've been patrolling, and it's chaotic.

Patrol around the shops.

They'll have to call it a day.

Tell them they'll be compensated
once the fire is put out.

Okay. Where are you going?

I'll take a look around up there.

-Okay. I'll call you later.
-Bye.

What? Shady?

Well…

It seems like
you're close with the police.

As you just saw.

Let's stop by somewhere first.

Where?

Gosh, why does he never
answer my questions?

You must've been startled.

There's been a fire.

Be patient,
and they'll get it all sorted out.

I'm off now.

Bye.

The firefighters are putting out the fire,

so stay home for today.

I said I'd fix it tomorrow.

You're so hardworking.

Grandma, let me do it for you.

Where are you going?

I'm visiting the grandmas.

Don't you worry.

The fire broke out underground,
so no one has been injured.

Your radio is working fine, right?

Why is it taking so long
to go to earn money?

I could've just waited at the cafe.

I'm sure you'd prefer this
to being monitored by those two.

There's a fire at the telecom company,
so the phones don't work now.

They're fixing it right now,
so don't worry too much. Okay?

What?

Do you want me to sit here? Here?

Where are you going?

Where?

Jeez.

Gosh.

Are these for me? Right?

You want me to share with her? Thanks.

Thank you.

Thanks for this.

Sit down.

See you.

What do you do for a living?

I heard people here addressing you
as Chief Hong.

Why would an outsider want to know that?

We're here. Over there.

Here.

Are you telling me
to remove innards from squid?

Yes.

You can't be serious.

I've never done this in my life.

I've never even touched a squid before.

Then today's your lucky day. Here.

Don't you need money?

How much is the pay?

It's 8,720 won per hour.

It's 8,720 won per hour?
Isn't that minimum wage?

Do you know who I am?

Yes. A penniless woman.

I don't think you know,

but I'm a dentist.

I'm a bit embarrassed to say this myself,

-but I'm a top-level elite.
-Grandma!

She's here to work.

-What are you doing?
-I'm a bit busy. Bye.

-Hey.
-I'll be back later. Good luck!

-What?
-Who?

Hello.

Let me teach you.

Slice it through the middle.

Spread it open here.

Then pull out the innards.

Give it a try.

Slice it through the middle.

Why doesn't it work?

By the looks of it,
she's not from around here.

Do you know why we're doing this?

No.

-What?
-Hey, explain it to her.

After we clean the squid here,

it is taken somewhere to be dried.

Then it becomes dried squid
that people enjoy.

I see.

How do you know Chief Hong?

Well…

You were with him until a while ago.

We met for the first time today.

-What?
-What?

What?

You should remove all the innards.

Don't leave any of them out.

Okay.

Goodness!

You should be careful with the squid ink.

Goodness. What should we do with you?

Kids these days are like that.

They've never done
this kind of job before,

so they have no idea how to do it.

You're not very dexterous, are you?

You can't make a living
out of those hands.

No one has ever said
that I wasn't dexterous.

Look. Didn't I do a good job this time?

What? Where are the legs?

The legs?

Goodness.

Oh, dear.

How could you leave me like that?

I brought your wage.
I guess you don't need it.

No. Give it to me.

You worked for three hours.

So 8,720 times 3 is 26,000…

What?

-Is this it?
-Of course not.

Here's the rest, 160 won.

What's with that look?

You barely did your job properly.

You don't deserve that money.

How does it feel to get
hard-earned money? Valuable, right?

I've always been a hard worker.

It's not easy being a dentist.

Please give this to the cafe owner.

Okay. Bye.

Right, an auto repair shop. Excuse me.

Why are you smiling?

Do you have a car?

"Cha"?

Yes.

-Tea.
-No, not that "cha."

Well…

What is that?

A car. Honk, honk.

All right.

I didn't mean to ask for your help
time after time. Thank you so much.

-Start your car.
-Sorry?

-Try the ignition.
-Right.

It's working. It started.

-Move aside.
-What?

What is it?

Look.

Do you see that?

What's this?

When did this happen?

Did you drive all the way here

with the tire-pressure warning lights on?

Well, I was able
to drive all the way here.

Don't you think
I'll be able to go back as well?

Do you have nine lives?

Get this fixed
at the repair shop in the morning.

You're telling me to spend a night here?
Looking like this?

There's a sauna across the harbor.

It's 9,000 won for a night.

Go there if you're interested.

You do reek.

I feel much better.

SNACK BAR

Bibimbap looks good.

Rice cake dumpling soup
and naengmyeon sound good too.

I have 13,160 won left.

I should put aside 10,000 won
just in case.

Then the amount
I can spend here is only 3,160 won.

I want eggs and sweet rice punch too.

What should I have?
Eggs? Sweet rice punch?

Eggs? Sweet rice punch?

What am I doing right now?

One sweet rice punch, please.

You really came.

What? Why are you here?

Can't you see? I'm working.

Sweet rice punch?

Yes.

This is really annoying.

I'm thankful for your help,

but why are you talking casually to me?

Okay what?

I was about to tell you
to talk casually as well.

It's fine by me.

And talking casually has its own perks.

I hate being so formal
only to make things get awkward.

Being global is a trend nowadays.
Look at the foreigners.

They call their parents-in-law
by their first names.

It's much better.

That's just ridiculous.

Need anything else?

I'm not that hungry.

Your stomach is saying otherwise.

I'm on a diet.

Who ordered these eggs?

A fire broke out
at Hanguk Telecom in Chung-ho,

and the entire Gongjin area
has been frozen.

-It's even on the news.
-There have been issues…

-That's understandable.
-Even the financial services were halted.

Who knew a fire at a telecom company
would leave me stranded here, penniless?

-It was put out around 7:30 p.m.
-I miss Seoul.

The Chung-ho mayor promised
to fix this matter as soon as possible,

look into the cause of the fire
to prevent similar incidents…

It's just a cricket.

Chief Hong! Goodness!

-What brings you here, Ms. Park?
-Hey!

Are you here for me?

I should go to Seoul
and move in with my daughter.

I can't live here anymore.

What is it this time?

I'm 70, but I have to run errands
since I'm the youngest around here.

Go to Gam-ri's place! She's hurt!

Hurry up!

-Grandma!
-What?

Grandma. Gosh.

You were fine just earlier.
What on earth happened?

I'm going deaf because
you yell at me all the time like that.

Where are you hurt?

Here. She hurt her ankle.

-Your ankle? Let me see.
-Yes.

Gosh, it's swollen. Does it hurt to move?

It's not a big deal.
I just sprained it a bit.

You're unbelievable.
Why would you hang your laundry there?

Are you a cat? Why would you
climb over the wall at night?

-Gosh.
-That's enough.

The wall?

Get on. Let's go to the hospital.

You should get an X-ray.

I don't need that.

I didn't break any bones.

Gosh, you're so stubborn.

I agree.

I hope you become filthy rich
being stingy like that.

I don't get why you're so stingy.

-Gosh, I'm so frustrated.
-Aren't you going home?

-I am. I am now.
-Go.

-Good night.
-Gosh.

Let me see.

Must you use an ice pack?

You should ice a sprain
right away to ease swelling.

-What's wrong? Is it too cold?
-No.

It's just slightly chilly.

Are you feeling cold, my dear Gam-ri?
Do you want me to hug you?

A grown man like you
shouldn't make such jokes.

Stay in the room for tonight.

I brought a chamber pot here,
so don't go out to the bathroom.

But I need to go to the senior center.

Don't be absurd. You're hurt.

I'll be bored here by myself.

I should go watch a soap opera.

-You have a TV.
-By myself? That's no fun.

-Then watch with me.
-Forget it.

You don't even know the plot.

-Gosh.
-They're all the same.

Am I heavy?

Yes.

They say as you get old,
you become lighter.

But seeing how heavy you are,
you must be still young.

You're going to be punished
for teasing an oldie like me.

Anyway, I feel bad for having you here.
You're not even getting paid.

You're right. I was going
to go home and rest.

You shouldn't have come.

I'm returning the favor.

Ever since my grandpa
passed away, you've fed me

at least 999 meals.

What choice did I have?

I couldn't let
a kid left all alone starve.

Still.

I'm grateful.

So even after I clock out,

I'll always run over if you need me.

Always?

Then you're like the genie to me?

Yes, I am. I'm like a wish-granting genie

that you can summon
by rubbing the magic lamp.

Is that even possible?

Yes, it is.

I must be so heavy.

No, you're as light as a feather.

Gosh.

Oh, dear.

All right.

-Goodness.
-Heave.

I can't believe I sprained my ankle.

-Ms. Kim.
-Yes?

Don't be sick.

It's really nothing.

-Still.
-It's only a mild sprain. Stop nagging.

Do they not clean?
I can't believe there's a bug indoors.

Well, there are many stars.

Mom.

Happy birthday.

All right. The auction will begin.
Get in line.

Single file.

We have two monkfish.

They're so fresh. They're so plump.

I see 64,000 won. I see 65,000 won.

Number 351 bid 65,000 won.

Okay. Sold!

You've got it for cheap!

We have two monkfish.

You're an auctioneer?

You must've slept well.

You were working at the sauna last night.

But today, you're working here?

You're a fraud, aren't you?

There's sleep in your eyes.
Did you even wash up?

By the way,
is there an auto repair shop nearby?

Of course.

Where?

I have to return
to Seoul today at all costs.

Is it expensive to fix a tire?

Will it cost more than 10,000 won?

Hey.

I'll wash up and go.

Okay. Take your time.

Is it expensive or not?

-You're the slow type, aren't you?
-What do you mean?

You're more dull-witted than I thought.

You don't have to tell me where it is,
but don't pick a fight with me.

How ridiculous.

Hold on.

-Hello?
-Hello, is this Dr. Yoon Hye-jin?

This is she. Who is this?

I'm your next-door neighbor.

You introduced me
to Hyeongsol Dental Clinic.

My, it works now.

Sorry?

Yes, I'm listening.

How was the treatment?

It was great, thanks to you.

I wanted to thank you in person,
but I haven't seen you around lately.

I see. I've been a bit busy.

I see.

I heard that
you and the new dentist are friends,

so I asked her for your number.

I see. May I ask why you called me?

Dr. Yoon, thank you so much.

My daughter paid for it
with her hard-earned money.

As her mother,
I felt terrible about making her pay.

But you made sure
they wouldn't rip me off.

I'm truly thankful.

I'm sorry for calling
when you must be so busy.

I just wanted to express my gratitude.

Thank you, Dr. Yoon.

It's my pleasure.

Good luck with the treatment.

Okay. Thank you so much. Goodbye.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

What a kind-hearted woman.

Right, I should call the helpline.

Hye-jin, why is your phone off?

You're not taking drastic measures
because you can't find a job, right?

If I can't reach you by tomorrow,
I'm going to call the police.

Gosh, Mi-seon is terrifying
when she's worried.

I'm down south. Don't worry too much.

-Ma'am!
-Ma'am!

Hey, the kids from yesterday.

What was your names again?

I'm Chang I-jun.

I'm Choi Bo-ra. "Bo" as in boat,
and "ra" as in ramyeon.

Right.

Despite getting hit yesterday,
he still hangs out with you.

That's because I'm his only friend here.

That's not why.
I know she hit me by mistake.

How kind of you.

Can I take a look at your tooth?

Sure.

Open your mouth. It's healing well.

If it feels loose again,
go to the dentist, okay?

Okay.

I will never ever forget
what you did for me yesterday.

I will return the kindness no matter what.

How old are you?

We're both nine.

But you know such difficult expressions?

He knows over 100 expressions.
He even does calligraphy.

You don't need to repay me.

Just promise me you'll be healthy. Okay?

Yes, ma'am.

-You too.
-Okay.

Go on, then.

Ma'am.

Yes?

Thank you so much.

I hope you visit us again.

What? Okay.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

Let's go.

How cute.

All done.

Oh, really?

Thank you.

-Du-sik.
-Hey.

Thanks for opening the shop for me.

Don't mention it.
I put the 4,000 won over there.

-Four thousand won?
-Yes.

What's this for?

It's from that woman
who couldn't pay you yesterday.

Ju-ri said both her bag

and business card were fake.
I guess she's not a scammer.

No, she isn't.

How do you know?

Well… I just know.

You're smiling. Why?

I'm always smiling.

You're blushing.

Coffee?

Hello?

It's me.

Who is this?

You must've deleted my number.

Still, have you already
forgotten my voice?

Dr. Lee?

That's right. Have you been well?

I heard you're working hard to land a job.

Speak for yourself.

I heard you worked hard to spread rumors
about me, so no one would hire me.

Do you think that was me?

Hye-jin, you're more naive than I thought.

I didn't have to do anything.

The dental community
is very small and closed.

Who would want to hire a whistleblower
who badmouthed their chief doctor

while brazenly disclosing her name?

No one will hire you.

In that sense, let me make you an offer.

Kneel in front of me
and beg for my forgiveness.

Then I'll have pity on you
and take you back.

Kneel?

Don't be absurd. Why would I work
for a quack like you again?

What, a quack?
I don't think you understand--

Forget it. Do you think
I must be hired at some clinic?

I'll open my own.

I'll run my own clinic!

What a lunatic.

HWAJEONG RAW FISH RESTAURANT

Ma'am.

Hello. You're still here?

You told me to come
if I was ever interested.

Sorry?

I'm going to open a clinic here.

What? Seriously?

Yes. I've made up my mind.

I'm glad to hear that.

Hold on. Let me see.

Let's go to the realtor.

No, this would be faster.

Follow me.

-So you slept at a sauna?
-Yes.

You should've come to my house.

Thank you for offering.

By the way, does the realtor
live this high up?

We're not meeting a realtor right now.

Why is this loser calling me? Hold on.

VILLAGE CHIEF CHANG YEONG-GUK

Hello? What is it?

What? You want to change
the date for the elderly party?

Of course, you can't!

We even did a survey
to decide on the date.

I don't want to hear it.
I'll be right there, so just wait.

Look. I'm sorry, but there's an emergency.

Then what should I do?

Go straight up this path,
and you'll see a boat on top.

Go there.

I already called him,
so he'll recognize you.

-Call whom?
-I'm sorry.

I need to go give him a good beating.

-You should give me his number at least.
-Go.

I'm so tired.

Gosh.

There really is a boat.

Who put this here on top of a hill?

It must be him.

Excuse…

Hey, we meet again.

What? Why are you here?

A clinic and a house?

Were you the one she was talking about?

Yes. For your information,
I'm not a fraud.

REAL ESTATE AGENT
HONG DU-SIK

What do you really do?

What on earth is your deal?

Me?

I'm Chief Hong.

Sit down here.

PHARMACY

Okay. Open your mouth.

Open.

Goodness. It's bleeding.

What?

Look.

-What?
-Didn't I do well?

Am I the only one
who finds this suspicious?

I'm on government payroll, you see.

Chief Hong is a regular chief.

Don't you need renovating?

I do that for minimum wage too.

You're not scamming me
because I'm not from around here, right?

Was she really a dentist?

She's pretty.

Please stop by even though you're busy.

And promote the opening of your clinic.

In a yard where dirt is kicked up,
they grill meat, boil soup, and sing.

You think you're better than everyone.

Look here, Doctor.

Life isn't so fair for all of us.

Got that?
