HOMETOWN CHA-CHA-CHA

FINALE

You're here.

Pay your respects first.

What are all these photos?

A while back,

Ms. Gam-ri saw a table of photos at our neighbor's son's wedding

and said to me

that she'd like something similar

at her own funeral.

So I asked her what she meant by it,

and she said that the next biggest event she'd throw

would be her funeral.

She said she'd want nothing more than for the guests

to laugh and have a good time.

That she'll have gone to the good place,

so we should grill potato jeon

and chug down makgeolli.

That's why…

we're respecting her final wishes.

-Right? -Don't be ridiculous!

You know I don't drink a lot.

As if.

Go ahead.

Aren't you going to help?

It tastes great.

-Try some. -Goodness.

-Really? -Thank you.

-Thank you. -Let's call Du-sik over.

No way. I don't want to.

-Dr. Yoon, over here. -Eat your food.

Okay.

Go ahead. They're waiting for you.

Want a bowl of yukgaejang?

Right. You wouldn't want any.

I will. I want a bowl.

Fill it to the brim.

Sure.

Take a look.

-Hey! -Goodness. Hello.

-Director Ji! -Welcome.

-Hello. -Gosh, you came.

-Hye-jin. -Seong-hyeon.

Chief Hong.

I'm so sorry.

You'll have some yukgaejang, right?

-What do you mean? -Are you kidding me?

-Hwa-jeong, come here. -I thought we were done!

-Gosh. -Let me introduce you to someone.

-Hold on. -Bo-ra, where are you?

I've always been like that though.

-Could I join you guys? -Please have a seat.

You've come a long way.

Gosh, look who it is!

-What took you so long? -Seriously?

REST IN PEACE

Thank you for coming.

Of course we should.

I was worried about you, but I'm glad you seem to be doing okay.

Yes. It'll be a long drive, so get on your way. You too, Ms. Wang.

I'm sure Ms. Gam-ri went to a good place.

She was such a good person.

Thank you.

Have a safe trip back. Seong-hyeon, drive safely.

Sure. We'll get going then.

-Drive safely. -Take care.

Let me walk you home.

Don't bother. I'm staying with you tonight.

But it'll be uncomfortable there.

Sleep in your own bed and come early in the morning.

-Will you be all right? -What?

It seems to me

you're pretending to be okay.

I'm not sure.

I guess it hasn't sunk in yet.

This is not my first time,

but I can never get used to it.

I still remember Ms. Gam-ri's face from when she sat on her wooden porch.

I can still hear her calling me from the alleyway.

It feels like she's still here with me.

So I don't…

want to let her go yet.

Just for a little while longer, I want her by my side.

Du-sik,

I…

can't quite…

picture my mother's face.

I've been staring at her photo all day,

but she looks strange to me.

My mother…

How did my mom seem to you?

Was she well?

Yes.

She laughed a lot, had fun here and there,

and helped others out. She seemed happy.

She was the same old Ms. Gam-ri.

I thought…

that my mom…

would stay in my life for a long time.

So I kept putting off seeing her because I thought there'd be plenty of chances.

But there aren't any left now.

When parents pass away,

children who regret the most cry the most.

But I'm too ashamed…

to even cry.

It's not like implants cost a fortune,

but I never even got around to taking her to the dentist.

She got her implants.

The procedure went well,

so she enjoyed meat and squid as much as she wanted.

Jeez, I'm such an idiot.

Yet, I had my own kid study abroad.

My mom probably put me first like I prioritize my children…

since I'm her son.

I'm such an idiot.

I don't know what to do about this guilt.

I can't even say sorry anymore.

I can't be a good son to her anymore.

How can I possibly…

carry on with my life?

Won-seok, don't be like that.

Ms. Gam-ri would've never thought that way.

To her, you were…

a good son who never got into any trouble.

You were her proud son who worked as an accountant in Seoul.

You were her joy.

You made her happy and gave her comfort.

You were the reason she lived.

Mom…

Mom!

Mom…

Mom…

Mom…

Mom…

Won-seok said he would not sell the house and keep it as is.

Really?

It's his childhood home, after all.

He said he'd come by at times.

I should come around often then.

For some reason, empty homes tend to deteriorate faster.

You're right.

You think she's on the other side by now?

Probably. I bet she's the prettiest among everyone there.

Thanks to Dr. Yoon, she was able to enjoy squid before passing away.

Absolutely.

Mat-i, promise me that you'll live for many years to come.

I'll be too bored without you.

Wouldn't life be better since I scold you all the time?

Scold me all you want.

Order me around and make fun of me.

Just make sure you stay around longer.

All right.

You must. Promise me.

I said I would.

I made too much.

Chief Hong.

Hey.

What is all that? Soap?

Yes. Do you want some? I added a lot of tangerine peels.

Sounds good to me.

Have you eaten?

Not yet.

Why not?

Come on. I'll treat you to something good.

Why bother? Come inside. I'll cook something up.

Then I'll cook.

This time,

I memorized the whole recipe.

It'll be good, so just wait a bit.

I see you still have these.

They're all dry now, aren't they?

I couldn't throw them out.

For some reason, I couldn't touch them.

You know,

they say when you lose a loved one,

you should mourn plenty.

If not,

Or else, the grief travels all through your body,

and it bursts later.

FOR DU-SIK

Du-sik, you should eat.

No matter how hard life gets, one should still eat.

Ever since you were a child, you've been living with a broken heart,

and the only thing I could do for you was cook you food.

You ate the food I made and grew so tall.

You have no idea how proud I was of you.

Du-sik, do you remember what you said to me?

You said that the best thing a parent can do for their child

is staying healthy.

It's the same with parents.

It tears our hearts out when our children are in pain.

Du-sik, you are my son and also my grandson.

Don't you ever forget that.

Du-sik, people should live among other people.

Life may seem like a burden to you at times,

but if you choose to be among others,

just like you did for me,

someone will carry you on their back.

So Du-sik, stop locking yourself up in your house,

eat the food I made, and come out to see us.

Doesn't she have the neatest handwriting?

Yes, it's very neat.

I once asked her…

why she never accepted my money.

and if it's because I wasn't family.

But she called me her son.

And also her grandson.

It's true.

That day, we said our belated farewell to Ms. Gam-ri.

Despite so many losses he's experienced in his life,

he's always kept his sorrow bottled up.

Not even once has he been able to fully mourn or grieve.

For the first time, he cried his eyes out.

And the others, too, mourned Ms. Gam-ri

in their own ways.

She left this behind.

GONGJIN KOREAN-CHINESE RESTAURANT

BORA SUPERMARKET

And so we were able to learn

that as long as we have memories of them,

our loved ones are always with us.

ONE MONTH LATER

Ms. Wang, your hair is slick

as if you applied camellia oil.

Thanks.

You can also open an oil shop with your hair.

It's that greasy.

We're done. We finally finished editing the last episode!

Good job.

Let's applaud.

Thank you all for the hard work.

We should really shower on press day.

Right. We should really go home for a change.

Another gastric pain?

-Yes, I must've been stressed out. -I'll take you to the hospital.

No, it's not anything new. It'll soon get better.

Do-ha, can you get her some warm water?

-Sure. -Thanks.

At least rest at the lounge. Get up.

Come on.

There it is.

Here.

FAST-ACTING MEDICINE

This…

I figured you've run of this by now, so I bought one in advance.

Take that for now.

Wait. I also should have…

Found it.

Jeez. Why do you have a heat pack when summer only just ended?

Probably for this kind of occasion.

Here. Put it on your stomach.

Did you get a checkup? An endoscopy too, right?

Yes, they said I was fine. It's just the stress.

Let's stay away from spicy tteokbokki for late-night snacks.

I'll get you some cabbage juice as well.

It does taste foul, but--

Director Ji.

Can you please…

stop being so nice to me?

You must know this by now,

but I have feelings for you.

I'm aware that you look out for me

and know everything about me

only because we've been working together for so long.

It's like a habit now.

-Ji-won-- -But,

whenever you're like this,

I keep getting my hopes up.

It's why I can't work with you anymore.

Are you done packing?

I'm just getting started.

There's a lot to pack.

Thanks, Chief Hong.

Thank you for understanding.

It's a good opportunity, so you should go.

One might think that you're moving to Seoul for good.

Hye-jin, why are you packing so much

for a three-day seminar?

Actually, I was offered a clinical professor job.

In Seoul, I suppose.

Yes.

It's a good opportunity.

A very good one.

You always wanted to move back there.

I did.

Then, you should go…

since it's what you want.

You're quite dense, aren't you?

What?

"I did" as in past tense.

Do I have to rephrase it in present or future tense for you?

I don't want to go to Seoul.

I'm staying right here. I'm not going to Seoul.

Is it because of me?

What? Gosh.

Do you think of me as the submissive type?

I made this decision of my own free will.

There are a lot of things I need to do here.

Cleaning the neighborhood,

visiting Seumseum at I-jun's,

and talking about DOS with Ju-ri.

Most importantly though,

I'm the one and only dentist Gongjin has.

And last but not least,

because you're here.

Thanks.

Thank you, Hye-jin.

I like this place too.

As much as you do.

I'm in love with Gongjin now.

Why not call a moving company?

Have professionals pack your bags for you.

Am I packing too much?

No, you can change 15 times a day.

Exactly. And it's doable for me.

It sure is.

-Good luck. -I'll be back before you know it.

-Can you help me? -This one still has its tag.

-Right. -They must all be new.

Of course not. Not all of them.

What?

What are you looking for?

Yes, my lottery ticket.

I forgot to compare the numbers yesterday.

You really like playing the lottery, don't you?

It's like a breath of fresh air in this suffocating life of mine.

Can you look up this week's winning numbers?

Sorry? Okay, just a second.

Here. Found it.

All right. Here you go.

Okay, let's see.

Six. Nice!

Eight.

Nine.

Twenty-four.

Thirty-six.

-Eun-cheol! -Hold on.

We're good. We're all good now.

Our life is set. We're settled for a lifetime.

My gosh!

-I can't believe it! -Mi-seon--

-Is this really happening? -These aren't right.

-It's… -What do you mean?

They're not this week's numbers.

How can that be?

Well, I…

I think I showed you last week's winning numbers.

WEEK 987

WEEK 988

Mi-seon.

I'm sorry.

Are you upset?

No.

I just feel like I lost my whole world.

My hopes and dreams are in shreds.

And I shaved years off my lifespan.

If you had really won the lottery,

what did you want to do?

I wanted to buy a house, of course.

A house that we could live in someday.

Mi-seon!

Follow me. We have someplace to go.

What do you think of this place?

What do you mean?

Would it be a nice spot for a house?

Of course, it would be nice.

However, my bank account says it's pie in the sky.

Well…

BALANCE

Am I seeing things? Why are there so many zeroes?

That's what I have left

from 1.4 billion won after 33 percent in public charge and tax.

It was me.

The third mystery of Gongjin.

The lottery winner.

Hey, Eun-cheol. I'm sorry. You must be busy studying.

The road hasn't been fixed, has it?

No, and it's still windy outside. Is something up though?

Bo-ra hit I-jun again. Can you believe her?

Can you close up the store in about ten minutes?

Sure. Don't worry and take your time.

-Got it. -Have a good one.

I mean, a ticket suddenly caught my eye,

so I tried it for the first time.

And I ended up winning.

But I never told anyone.

What's with all these withdrawals, by the way? This is a lot.

I made donations.

-What? -Back then,

I had been studying to join the police academy for years.

But all this money

distracted me from my studies.

So I asked myself this.

"Choi Eun-cheol, what is it that you really want to be?

Someone rich or a police officer?"

And it was a police officer.

And I wanted to be a police officer…

because

I wanted to make the world a better place.

And donating has the same purpose,

so I decided to contribute a little.

Eun-cheol, you really are too much, you know that?

Sorry?

How can you be so cool?

How can a person be this perfect?

You're a diamond in the rough,

and I praise my own eyes for actually discovering you.

Aren't you disappointed?

Well, truth be told,

for about three seconds, I did think it was a pity a tiny bit.

But no. I'm never going to besmirch your good deeds.

Besides, a man diligent enough to get a job after winning the lottery

could do just about anything.

A house? We can build one if we decide to.

We can bring bricks here and build it from the ground up ourselves.

Mi-seon, can you turn over the page?

You have some left.

A picturesque house up on that green hill.

What would you say to that?

With the man I love,

I'd spend a hundred years there.

-Eun-cheol. -Yes?

I couldn't be happier.

Why are you groaning?

Seriously. I wish I didn't have to go.

Maybe it's not too late to cancel.

How can the presenter not attend the seminar?

Still.

How can I manage

-without seeing you for days? -Gosh.

I don't think I can. Come to Seoul with me.

I'm afraid I can't due to my busy schedule.

What do you have lined up?

Let's see.

I need to deliver anchovies, fix the nets, and play with the chief's dog.

Bugyeong, right?

What? Are you saying they come before me?

Of course not. If I could, I'd carry you around in my pocket.

-Chief Hong. -Yes?

I'd carry you in my suitcase.

-In your suitcase? -Yes.

Get in my bag right now. I'm going to run off with you.

-Should I? -Is it too big for you?

No, it's the perfect size.

-The perfect size? -I'm going in.

-I'm getting sick of this, you know. -I mean it.

What do we do?

What am I going to do with you, Du-sik?

I feel a little under the weather. Let's go to a sauna together.

I got a body scrub last week, so go on your own.

It's already been a week.

Come on, let's go. I'll treat you to sikhye.

You're offering to buy?

When have I never? The offer stands just for you.

Scrubbing too often isn't good for you.

Come on. Let's go.

Hwa-jeong.

What the hell? Did you have plans?

No, I stopped by after hearing she was here.

I see. Well, you two better not have fun without me. Okay?

Can you stop being so clingy?

Hold on. Did you get a new phone?

Hello?

Right now? Got it.

Stay if you want.

Where are you off to?

-Yeong-guk wants to see me. -What the…

Goodness.

Hwa-jeong, enjoy your date!

Goodness. Look at her run.

Be grateful to the one who brought you two back together!

Gosh, hello.

Why did you ask me to come?

Because I wanted to make something official.

Where do I work?

Is this a quiz? The town hall.

The name was changed ages ago.

It's now the Administration and Welfare Center.

But I barely got used to Town Hall.

The new name's too long.

Then call it the AW Center for short.

Anyway, my official place of work is now the Administration and Welfare Center,

and I also wish to be your personal AW Center too.

I will be open 24/7 to answer your requests and complaints.

Look forward to timely solutions.

Are you sure you can handle the complaints?

I'll be fine.

Bring it on.

Take a look around. We're even giving out gifts.

No, wait. I'll bring it to you instead.

A gift? What would that be?

What's this?

Can't you see? It's the same tonic you got me.

You call this a gift?

I know that it's not a fancy gift,

but all I could think of was something for your health.

We're halfway through our lives,

so let's drink this and travel until we're 80 with healthy joints.

You should dream bigger.

Make it 100.

Wow, Hwa-jeong. You've always been the bolder one.

Give me one. I'll gulp down a packet.

A packet right now? Got it.

Here. Drink up.

Bottoms up.

Gosh.

My personal AW Center provides good service.

I'm definitely happier.

Hwa-jeong…

Don't cry.

Don't you dare cry!

I won't. I won't cry.

No, no. Just stay seated.

Mother said that it's crucial to recover well after giving birth.

I told you to stay home.

It's too stifling to stay in bed all day.

I'll be careful. Besides, those boxes need to be moved.

I'll get to them, so sit.

-Yun-gyeong, -Yes?

just sit there and watch. Okay?

Are you shitting me?

Yun-gyeong, is that Russian?

Did Igor teach you that?

I said I'd do it. Why the hell do you have to insist?

Are you blind?

I liked it better when she was pregnant and couldn't drink.

Yun-gyeong, how about a third child?

Are you seriously saying that when I'm still recovering from having a damn baby?

Do you have a death wish, you goddamn bastard?

Come here and die. Die, you piece of shit!

Oh, no. I broke another one.

Done.

Let me see.

You did it. Lucky you.

Could the heart-shaped one be easier?

That's what I should've bought.

Here.

It's for you.

What?

Choi Bo-ra,

you know what my giving you a heart means, right?

Yes, of course. This heart right here?

It's just a shape.

It's tasty.

But I put a lot of effort into it.

And it meant a great deal.

Hey, let's go to your place to look at Seumseum.

Sure.

Chief Hong!

Isn't Seoul too far away to visit this often?

I came for lunch.

A little bird told me someone makes a mean chicken porridge soup.

That place is closed today.

Why? I'd really like some!

Chief Hong, it doesn't actually have to be chicken porridge soup.

The gambas was delicious enough.

Let's order some pizza.

What? Aren't you going to cook for me?

Leave now,

-and you can have dinner in Seoul. -What…

I love pizza, you know.

It's the best.

All right.

-I'm a regular-- -Can you order two?

At least a large then.

There's an app I order often from.

It's quick.

What would you like? This one?

-This. -This?

-Yes. -This?

No, this one.

And the dough?

That.

All right.

It looks good.

Then let me…

-What? -Are you kidding me?

-What do you mean? -It's too delicious!

Unbelievable. Do you always have to make such a fuss?

It's just pizza.

-You weren't wrong. -Isn't it good?

-Gosh, it is. -Goodness.

When we first met, I never imagined we'd become good friends.

Life's pretty much the same for everyone.

But are we good friends?

Hey, are you saying we aren't?

I'm not sure.

Look. We're good friends. You giving me garlic sauce proves it.

I more of a hot sauce guy.

That was delicious.

Now, tell me why you came here.

What do you mean? I just came for lunch.

I can see worries and anguish written all over your face.

I drove to clear my head

-and ended up here. -Then you didn't get lost.

I'm losing my way in life though.

Because of Ms. Wang?

We were always a team.

Even after fighting each other over creative differences,

I always felt that we were a team.

But?

I hoped Ji-won would always be by my side.

So I'm scared

that if I make a hasty move,

I might lose her forever.

You're finally willing to give it a try though.

Jeez. It's like staying indoors because you're afraid it might rain

and starving, afraid of stomachaches.

Stop hesitating, or you'll lose out on the chance once again.

Hello?

Right now?

Okay, I'll be right there.

I'm sorry about this, but duty calls.

Sure.

-I'll wash the dishes. -Thanks!

WRITER WANG

WANG JI-WON CELEBRATING END OF HER FIRST SHOW

Oh, my.

-Hye-jin. -Hi.

-Hi. -Shall we head inside?

-Isn't the weather great? -It sure is.

I'm sorry your dad wasn't able to spend time with you.

Did you hear he went to a funeral?

Yes, we talked on the phone.

I've been meaning to treat you to a tasty meal anyway, Mother.

What?

I see. Well, it's good. It's absolutely delicious.

-Please enjoy. -Sure.

Is Chief Hong well?

Yes, he's doing great.

I'll bring him to Seoul sometime.

We should have a meal together like we did in Gongjin.

Hye-jin,

do you remember when I invited you over when you were in college?

The day we first met.

Yes.

To be honest, I was extremely nervous at first.

Then you ate a piece of my braised potato

and said that it was delicious.

That was it.

Things were still awkward, so we kept eating quietly,

but it warmed my heart to hear that.

That's when I thought

that joining your family wouldn't be such a bad idea.

That having meals together every day,

praising the food, and telling each other to eat up

would be quite nice.

The braised potatoes were divine.

I'll cook them for you again.

When you bring Chief Hong to Seoul, come to the house.

Okay.

As you know, we have four seats around our dining table.

We have room for him.

I'll make sure we visit soon.

Good.

Chief Hong, don't you read comic books?

My favorite is The Rose of Versailles.

Chief Hong, how about we open the Chinese bush clover wine?

If you're up for it, I mean.

You should eat more braised beans.

They may not seem tasty at first, but they get sweeter as you chew.

Eat more of them.

I miss her like crazy.

It sure is sweet.

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

Du-sik. What are you doing?

Can't you see? I'm brewing coffee.

No, you're not. What are you doing?

What on earth?

-Damn it. -What were you thinking?

You didn't even notice it spilling.

It's nothing.

Jeez.

Chun-jae, I'm sorry, but I need to step out for a bit.

-Can you make the rest? -Sure. Are you all right?

Damn, it's hot! You bastard!

Wait. Were my fingerprints burned off?

Chief Hong!

-I missed you so much. -I missed you too.

I'm going to marry Chief Hong.

Go ahead. I'm planning to get married next spring,

so catch my bouquet first.

I'm going to propose tomorrow.

What?

Is tomorrow too soon? How about the day after that?

Of course. I shouldn't have expected any less from Yoon Hye-jin.

Why on earth are you rushing it?

Because I don't like seeing him all alone.

I want to be his family.

Hye-jin,

when did you grow up?

Will you catch my bouquet?

Hye-jin, don't get ahead of yourself.

Chief Hong might say no.

I doubt it.

That never crossed my mind.

Don't sweat it. He'll say yes if your proposal is good enough.

What do you have in mind?

Well, I thought about it while driving back to Gongjin,

but I came up with nothing.

Maybe I lack creativity.

No, Korea's education system is to blame.

You're only a victim of the nation's rote learning method.

I want it to be a proposal that he'll never forget.

What could be a good idea?

If you're drawing a blank, then go back to the basics.

Don't try to come up with something grand,

and slowly think about your memories with him.

That is where you will find your answer!

What is it?

You're amazing. You're a genius.

MS. DENTIST

Chief Hong, meet me at the beach.

Gosh.

What are you thinking about?

Well, I was reminded of the day we first met.

We were both such a mess.

Absolutely. It was the worst.

It probably wasn't just me.

You must've

found me extremely peculiar too.

A woman you just met

asked you to find her shoe for her and lend her money.

We butt heads all day.

But the crashing waves of that day…

brought us to this moment right here,

just like these shoes came back to me.

I'd love it

if our shoes…

were always side by side at the door together.

So that neither would be lonely.

Chief Hong.

Will you marry me?

No.

-What? -No.

Don't you want to?

No, that's not what I mean. I…

Why… I mean, why are you…

What's wrong?

I was going to propose to you today too.

I wanted to ask you first.

I've been preparing it for ages. How could this…

You beat me to it.

Well, it doesn't really matter who does it first.

What matters is that we're on the same page.

All right, then. You take the lead from here.

I'll hand over the baton.

Consider this a relay race.

You're the last runner, so run towards that finish line.

Go ahead.

How can I do it after that?

No, you can do this.

You got this.

You said our first encounter was on the worst terms.

Not for me though.

I saw a woman on the beach that day.

She sat there for a long time,

but all I could see was sadness in her eyes.

And I couldn't get it out of my mind,

so my eyes kept being drawn to her.

But I never thought…

that I'd fall in love with her.

Chief Hong!

I worked 637 hours to get you this necklace.

Don't you dare sell it online.

But this is expensive.

I won't sell it. Ever.

I will never sell it.

Two pairs of shoes by the door,

two toothbrushes in the bathroom,

and two aprons in the kitchen.

Everything will be in pairs.

In a house where we keep those, will you enjoy today, tomorrow,

and all of your time…

with me?

I love you.

I love you too.

God, it's cold! What?

What?

Your shoe!

What? No, my shoe!

-What are you up to? -Oh, this?

I'm drafting an agreement for married life.

Jeez, Hye-jin, how far ahead are you?

I like planning my life ahead, but to the extreme.

So tell me. What have you written so far?

First of all, I'm terrible in the kitchen.

You know what happens.

I know it all too well.

Don't you ever get your hands wet.

Nice. Lucky me.

In return, I'll make sure you always have healthy teeth.

I'm the luckier one. I love it.

Really? So that'll be my job.

However, I do like doing the laundry.

All the pricey clothes I have require proper maintenance.

Okay. Then leave the cleaning to me.

All right. Cleaning goes to Chief Hong.

CHIEF HONG

By the way,

how much longer will you be an area chief?

I've never thought about that. Why?

If it's the community you wish to serve,

there are other titles to consider.

Broaden your horizons a little.

Above the area chief is the zone chief.

You know, Hwa-jeong's term is almost over.

-No, aim a little higher. -What?

Well, for instance,

there's also a city councilor or a congressman.

Again with that ambition of yours.

It's just that you're too good to stay as a mere area chief.

You're adorable.

Speaking of which, when will you stop calling me Chief Hong?

What should I call you then?

Say my name like I say yours.

Your name?

Your name…

Du-sik.

Du-sik.

Why does your name have to be so funny?

How can you say that one's name is funny?

It's not even funny in a cute way.

Then I guess you can call me oppa.

-You said you'd kill me if I did. -That was then, and this is now.

Oppa.

Oppa.

Oppa…

That's weird. It still gives me the chills.

My hair is standing.

So what should I call you?

If not that or your name,

how about jagi?

I quite like that.

You like it?

Yes, I do.

As you know, jagi also means oneself.

So it feels like

I'm you

and you've become me in a way.

Jagi.

I'm you, and you're me.

I'm not going home tonight.

I wasn't going to let you.

All right.

-Are you awake? -Yes.

You must be hungry.

I made toast and eggs for you. Try some.

It's all right.

Don't you want to eat?

It's just that I can't use my hands right now.

I'm not dressed yet.

Then…

stay as you are. I'll feed you.

-Just a second. -Sure.

Open wide.

There you go. Is it good?

It's delicious. Can I have some milk?

Milk? Just a second. Be careful not to spill.

This is nice. I love the room service you provide.

I'll do this for you every day from now on.

Okay.

-One more. -One more?

Here.

Two would be nice.

-What? -Kids.

An only child would be lonely,

and three would be too difficult,

so two will be nice regardless of gender.

Two?

I guess we should get busy then.

-What time is it? -Nine o'clock.

The neighborhood cleaning!

Don't be ridiculous.

We should skip it today. We're allowed to at times.

Other people may, but not me and the one I love.

Get out of bed already. And breakfast is over.

But I only got one bite.

-Chop-chop! -Fine.

But you want two kids. Shouldn't we get on it?

We're late. Come on.

Gosh.

Hye-jin, here.

-Is this in my size? -Yes.

Are you sure it's mine?

-Over here. -You call that sweeping?

It's clean enough, so stop it.

-Good morning. -Are they just joining us?

-We already swept over here. -Don't mind us.

-Keep sweeping. -Aren't you hungry?

-Let's get going. -We should have breakfast.

-Sure. -Wait for me.

We're getting married.

-What? -What?

We're getting married.

Say something.

We're…

really getting married.

-What? -Really?

Why are you so late? There's only ten minutes left!

Sorry. The clock in the living room was broken.

Seriously, you're such a slacker unless you're working.

Is it this way?

-Wait. -What is it?

What? I see.

-Am I good? -Good.

-Let's go. -Director Ji, your shoes!

-Change your shoes. -Right.

Hey.

What are you going to do without me?

I can't do without you.

Since you've brought it up,

let's discuss my idea for my next show.

And get a bite to eat after. I know all the great spots.

-What are you doing? -What else?

I'm asking you out to eat. Just the two of us.

Not only that, we have so much to do.

We have so many places to go in the country and overseas.

Next time, let's climb up the Florence Cathedral without fail.

You couldn't go up last time because of me.

Seong-hyeon…

No matter how hard I think about it,

eating, playing, and working…

I want to do it all with you.

I hope…

you continue to stay busy with me, Ji-won.

We're late, you know. Hurry up.

Let's go.

Run!

"With high hopes, Director Ji added that,

'The Seashore Grasshopper can help us find joy in our slow-paced everyday life

and reset what we view as true happiness.'

The Seashore Grasshopper premieres on the 23rd at 9:10 p.m."

-There you go. -We'll definitely watch!

Must you embarrass me by reading it out loud?

How can I not?

I didn't realize Seoul was so closeby, he's here too often.

Don't be mean to him.

-Visit often, Seong-hyeon. -Sure thing.

Did you really come all this way to watch the premiere with us?

Yes, I really wanted to.

You're the hidden heroes that made the show happen!

No, hold that thought!

-The true hero of the show is DOS. -Oh gosh.

Don't say that.

I'm glad you came. The more, the merrier.

-Of course. -Hold on a second.

Did I call my daughter to tell her to watch the show?

-I call ten percent ratings. -Director Ji, hold on.

The scene we're in isn't in the first episode, right?

Was my outburst edited out of the final cut?

Our Bo-ra will be watching, you see.

I wasn't aware of it that day, but my armpits were like, you know.

Jeez, how embarrassing.

We'll be able to see Gam-ri again.

-Goodness. -Granny Gam-ri.

-You're right. -I miss her.

Hey! The show's starting!

-All right. -Here we go. The show's airing.

Can you make the screen brighter?

-Dad, I think it's your age. -Take off your shades at night.

-Right. -You're unbelievable.

Double-digit ratings in this day and age?

No wonder Director Ji didn't choose a career in music.

That's pure talent right there.

Of course. You'd expect nothing less when the show features a celeb--

It's from Seoul. Who could it be?

Hello, who's calling?

Yes, hello.

-Is this singer Oh Yoon I'm speaking to? -What?

Right! Yes, that's me. What is this about?

Hello, I'm calling on behalf of the JKBC show, Sugar People.

What did you just say?

We were hoping to have you on the show as a former legend in the industry.

Sure thing.

Dad, I'm hungry. Give me food. My stomach's completely hollow.

-Ju-ri. -What?

-Can you pinch my cheek? -No way.

Your face is too greasy. I don't want to touch it.

-Just this once. -But it's slippery.

Let go!

I didn't mean for you to do it so hard like that!

But you told me to pinch you.

Anyway, it hurts.

My cheek is throbbing. I felt all of the pain.

Dad, what's with you?

-Ju-ri. -Yes?

-I'll going to be on Sugar People. -What?

-I'll be on Sugar People. -What? Really?

-Hold on a second. Where is it? -What's wrong?

Dad, do you know who the other guests are?

Could it be DOS?

-I said I'll be on Sugar People. -So tell me about DOS.

-Why would you ask about Dos? -They're called D-O-S.

Didn't you hear that I'll be on Sugar People?

So? What about it?

The Seashore Grasshopper helped Chun-jae become the singer Oh Yoon again.

And the other villagers received their own gifts as well.

-Can we have more side dishes? -Sure.

-The food is delicious. -Really? Gosh, thank you.

-Ma'am, when will our dish be served? -Your fish stew is nearly ready.

-We've been-- -It won't be long.

Coming! Aren't you a sweetheart for ordering two dishes?

-Ma'am. -Yes, I'll be right over.

-I see you're finished -The food was great.

-Thank you. Please come again. -Thank you.

You can sit right here. I'll clear the table for you. Thank you.

This right here is the autograph of a DOS member.

-You've heard of DOS, right? -Of course.

You may take a photo.

The short but blindingly bright summer

had Gongjin bustling.

And the blissful days continued to pour in.

So what's the next show about?

I always develop my ideas based on my interests.

First food, then traveling. So what are you now interested in?

How about a dating show with non-celebrities?

What?

Viewers will get to see if there can be something more

between those who have been in the friend zone for years.

Like us?

Yes, like us.

Got it.

Good. I like that idea.

-Wasn't it Pinocchio who sang that song? -That's right.

Since his nose grows when he lies.

Yes, exactly. Get that down, Ji-won.

Pinocchio has a nose that…

Something in the air seems off.

It's too stuffy.

Is an air purifier really too much to ask?

I doubt that's something to smile about though.

Any good news, Do-ha?

My dad walked for the first time with his leg braces on.

Really? That's great.

Yes, it's a miracle.

It sure is.

How is his overall health doing?

-He's good. -Really?

Don't you worry, Do-ha.

I'm not worried at all.

Have a seat.

You should be worried about this meeting though.

Got any ideas?

Jagi, how do I look?

Absolutely stunning.

-Really? -Yes.

The clothes, I mean. Outfits can change one's image.

-Are you kidding me? -Where are they?

Where are what?

Your wings. Shouldn't an angel have a pair?

I set them aside today.

-Is that so? -Yes.

Well, you're stunning.

-Really? -Yes.

Who knew your birthday gift would be your wedding photo suit?

I should have bought a nicer one.

Forget it. I'm fond of this one. It's more than enough.

Okay. Let's get you a better one for the wedding though.

You haven't forgotten about the dress fitting next week, right?

-Already? -The wedding is right around the corner.

We can't afford to lose focus.

What about booking a tour bus for the day?

We need to bring everyone in Gongjin to Seoul.

-I already booked one. -Good job.

I'm a bit surprised though.

I thought you'd want to shoot photos at a studio.

Well, the concept of our wedding is "harmony," you see.

It's a collaboration between glamour and simplicity.

Besides, the wedding's in Seoul,

so I wanted to take the photos in Gongjin.

It's where our lives crossed paths

and where we'll continue to live.

Shall we?

I'm ready.

Let's go.

Can you believe how good the weather is?

-Let's take great photos. -Sure.

-What on earth? -My gosh.

Are you taking your own photos?

Yes, we thought we'd keep it small.

You two look amazing today.

But don't you need a young assistant to help you take your photos?

Let me be of help. I can do that.

-It's all right. -There's no need for that.

No need to decline. Don't be sorry.

I'll hold your veil, assist you with your dress,

and retouch your makeup.

I'm really fine with my makeup.

You once said you liked this shade. It's strawberry milk.

-This will look much better on you. -But we're fine.

-It's really fine-- -Where are you headed? Over there?

-The view over there is better. -Can you at least breathe?

-Nam-suk-- -You both look stunning today.

I looked just like her on my wedding day as well.

-You sure did. -Come on. Let's go.

-I can't believe this. -I'm good.

-Are you all right? -Yes. Hold on.

Wait for us then.

You guys look incredible.

Guys, I came rushing over.

-Chun-jae, that was fast. -I came running.

I called him over.

-You look amazing. -Doesn't she?

It's just good old me, so be at ease.

-A wedding must have music. -What will you sing?

-Du-sik! We have experience. -Wait for us!

You'll need help with the poses,

-so let us coach you. -Doesn't she look stunning?

You can retouch the shape of your body, but not your facial expression!

-Now, smile for us. -Goodness.

-Smile! -You look incredible!

-Guys! -You came! Doesn't she look nice?

-Nice! -Okay, we're here as well.

How long has it been since we had a wedding in this town?

Goodness.

Gam-ri, are you watching this?

-Du-sik is getting married! -Du-sik!

-Let's go. -Here we go.

-All right. -Can you make sure her dress doesn't drag?

Off we go!

You must be thrilled to have us all congratulate you.

Is Uncle Du-sik seriously in a suit?

Hey, Ju-ri!

Hye-jin, was that dress the best option?

-Ju-ri. -Ju-ri!

Is it a Sunday?

Stop that.

Whatever. Let's just get going.

Our very own Chief Hong is getting married

Mi-seon, why don't we join them and learn a few things?

This is all because you have a singer in the mix.

Guys, hurry on over.

I don't even know anymore.

-Come on! -Du-sik, watch this.

Don't tense up. Relax!

Let's go!

One, two, three.

Cut!

Okay.

-Congratulations -How was that good

when her veil was covering her face? Let's take another one.

-It's okay-- -Take it again.

Honey, do something about the sun.

Don't worry. It's fine.

-We're fine. Really. -You can't sweat.

No, like this.

Don't stay over there and get back behind the camera.

Are these really self-shot wedding photos?

Beats me.

It looks stunning from here too. Why don't you move this way?

-The sea will be in the photo as well. -She's right.

I totally feel a song coming to me.

These are wedding photos, so shouldn't there

-at least be one of you kissing? -No, we're good.

What? No, a kiss isn't necessary.

Exactly! A kiss in public will be too embarrassing for everyone.

One should have a kissing photo. We have one too, right?

I wouldn't mind recreating it.

Jagi,

can you do something?

Step a little closer to each other.

-Kiss for the camera. -But what's important is…

Run on the count of three.

-Got it. -All right.

One…

Two…

Three!

Hye-jin!

-Where are you going? -Thanks, everyone!

We'll take the rest ourselves!

-But… -We love you!

Good luck!

-Be happy, guys. -Goodness.

-It's too bad. -Ju-ri, that can be you as well.

Gosh.

-I'm going to marry JUNE. -Is that so?

-I doubt they'll follow us up here. -Of course.

They all hate hiking up hills.

I hate it too.

-And I had to run in heels. -You did well.

SUN-IM

"The Sun-im" is the name of this boat?

-Yes. -It's adorable.

The Sun-im.

-It sounds like someone's name. -It is.

My grandma's.

Gosh. Was it named after your grandmother?

I'm sorry about that.

Your grandfather must've been totally romantic.

Couldn't you have learned from him?

-What? -This boat.

If it was given to you by your grandfather,

could I write my name here in small letters?

No, you can't.

I'll write it up front in big bold letters.

All right.

I'll be at the front of the boat making sure you have a clear path.

The sea won't always be this gentle though.

We will be met with wind and waves. And even typhoons will come our way.

So what if we get soaked in rain?

Who cares if the wind blows a bit…

when we're in the same boat?

Let's take a photo.

Let's take it together, ma'am.

-All right. Here we go. -Hurry.

There. One…

Let me wind it up.

-How will they turn out? -It'll be great.

Okay, here we go again.

-Next will be the André Kim pose. -The André Kim pose?

We'll be able to nail this one.

One, two…

-Hold on. Let me get this call. -Me too.

-Hello? -Hello?

-What? -What?

-You tripped? -You tore the inside of your mouth?

-Where? -Where?

-Ms. Mat-i? -Ms. Lee?

Jeez.
