DIVORCE BY MUTUAL CONSENT
CHANG YEONG-GUK, YEO HWA-JEONG

We all have moments we regret in life.

DEMO OF THE END AND THE BEGINNING,
OH YOON'S 2ND ALBUM

Nevertheless,

we can never turn back the clock.

TWO WEEKS AGO

CHUNG-HO SCUBA DIVING

-Hello.
-Oh, hi.

EPISODE 2

Look. Sweet, isn't it?

Open your clinic here

and your patients will heal
just by looking out the window.

The view sure is nice.

Nothing beats this
when it comes to good feng shui.

Mountain in the back
and water in the front.

I see the ocean, but where's the mountain?

Have you forgotten about the hill
that's behind the marketplace?

If you're done, let's go. I'm a busy man.

Hold your horses.
I have a long checklist to go through.

Good water pressure and sunlight
are essential.

Does this air conditioner work?

It doesn't.
I see you're the exhausting type.

No, I'm just thorough.

What's this?

The storage room.

Where will we check out next?
Is it far from here?

This is the only one.

You said we should get going.

Yes, to check out the house
for you to live in.

Then this is the only one
you have to show me?

Yes.

Two bedrooms and one…

One bathroom.

An air-conditioner, gas stove, washer,

and even a dryer are provided.

Who uses this kind of wallpaper
these days?

Sweet, isn't it?
A tropical vibe with contrasting colors.

An eco-friendly atmosphere. Don't you
think it'll put you on a flowery path?

The interior design isn't my style at all.

What exactly is your style then?

-As if that changes anything.
-Let's hear it.

Well… An overall vibe that incorporates
an antique, simple, and European style.

Wainscot paneling on the walls
and porcelain tiles on the floor.

Spanish tiles in the foyer
and light fixtures from Denmark would do.

I doubt you understood any of it.

How about some new wallpaper instead?

Off-white like teeth would be nice.

Let's sign the contract.

Hold on. What did you say
will be provided other than the washer?

A dryer!

Are you saying you own

both the office building and apartment?

That's right.

Am I the only one
who finds this suspicious?

-What do you mean?
-Just think about it.

When she found out
I'd open a dental clinic here,

she introduced me to you,

and the office space
you showed me is hers.

How is this a coincidence?

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

Doctor, I get how this
might seem suspicious to you,

but ask anyone in this town.

Everyone knows who we are.

Exactly.

We could never scam anyone.

I'm on government payroll, you see.

How can you be when you
obviously own a restaurant?

I guess it's my turn this time.

YEO HWA-JEONG, ZONE CHIEF

Zone chief?

That's right. The government pays me
300,000 won a month.

And 20,000 won more for a meeting.

Chief Hong is a regular chief.
Only 50,000 a year.

Forget it. She still doesn't believe you,
so let's give her better proof.

See how much of a bargain you're getting.

GONGJIN, CHUNG-HO

The office space you just saw

is the unit she had saved
for her second restaurant.

But she offered it to you
because she thought

it'd benefit the whole town
if you opened a dental clinic.

Hey, stop that. That's not necessary.

She should know, though.
Forget it if you don't want it.

All right. Take a copy each.

Now that the contract has been signed,

you will fulfill your duties
as landlady and tenant.

Good job.

-How many hours did you work today?
-Four.

So, for four hours…

Here.

I got that number too. I'll wire
the money. Coins can be a nuisance.

Much appreciated.

It's fine. You don't have to see us out.

Why are you following me?

You sure are dense, aren't you?
Do I really have to tell you?

What do you mean?

You need to pay me.
17,440 won for my service.

Did you say 17,440 won?

Listen up. Whatever the task,
I go by minimum wage.

I'm sure you know. The minimum wage
in 2021 is 8,720 won per hour.

I worked 4 hours, which is 34,880 won.

And it should be evenly split
between you and Ms. Yeo.

I only have big notes.

I always have change ready.

All right.

Take 2,000 won first.

And here's 560 won.

Are we done now?

Don't you need renovating?
I do that for minimum wage too.

As if anyone could do it.

I mentioned my high standards earlier.

What are they?

Wallpaper and painting,
cement work, tiles, heating,

even plumbing?

CERTIFIED PLUMBER

I'll consider myself hired.

He's so weird.

Did you say Gongjin?

Where the heck is that?

Gongjin, Chung-ho City, Gangwon Province.

You're nuts. How are you going
to live in such hicksville?

I'm in the middle
of drawing a big picture.

Take a look. Awesome, right?

PRIVATE CLINIC DOCTORS
EARN MORE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

So you're moving there just to earn money?

Well,

I can't find a job here,

and it's impossible
to open a clinic in Seoul.

This could fatten my bank account
in a short period of time.

You still shouldn't have signed the lease
without even telling me.

Sorry.

What can I do when it's already signed?

But why are you packing already?

You need to put this place on the market,
and I'm sure it'll take a while.

It's already sold.

Housing is in high demand these days.

When are you moving then?

-The day after tomorrow.
-Hey!

-My gosh.
-Is someone pointing a gun at you?

What's with the rush?

It just happened that way.

Unbelievable.

I'll be so bored here without you.

We've never been apart
since middle school.

I know.

Mi-seon.

Take this.

This…

It'll look good on you
since you're slender and all.

Forget it! Do you think
I care about this stupid dress right now?

Just don't go. Stay here!

Why are you being like that?
You're making it hard for me to leave.

Don't leave. Just don't go.

-Are you crying?
-I'm not.

Come on. You're making me feel so bad.

Just so you know,
I hate this dress so much.

Give me that one instead. The nice one.

That one's too expensive.

-Cheapskate.
-Just try it on.

-Forget it.
-Darn it.

Just go. Go away to Gongjin.

-I'm good.
-You're doing great today.

MR. YU EXPRESS

What's going on?

-What is it?
-Hey.

What's up? Is there a party somewhere?

Hey, Chun-jae.

It's not Chun-jae.
I told you to address me as Oh Yoon.

-Not according to your birth certificate.
-It's Oh Yoon, damn it.

Fine. Oh Yoon.

Someone's moving into Ms. Yeo's house.

It's a young lady who's a dentist.

Wait. Was she really a dentist?

That girl's actually a dentist?

Do you know her?

Not personally.

You can say there's a debt between us.

A debt? What's that about?

She didn't seem to be dexterous,
so I'm kind of worried.

Why are you all shyly watching from afar?

Hello, Ms. Yeo.

-I see you're here to play landlady.
-She's not looking.

-She always ignores me.
-That goes in the living room.

Doctor.

Hello.

You didn't have to come.

How can I not when you're moving in today?

I see you have a lot of stuff.

Yes.

They all live around here.

I see.

Remember me from the cafe?

They are your neighbors now,
so say hello as you come and go.

-Sure.
-Say hello.

Hello, everyone.

-Where does this go?
-Excuse me.

To the room… No, let me lead the way.

Is she actually moving here?

She's pretty.

She resembles me in some ways.

Hey, Dad.

Yes, the move went smoothly.

I'm still so busy unpacking.

You can visit once the clinic opens.

Sure, and take care of yourself.

Bye.

-Why are you here at this hour?
-To verify your registration.

Are you worried
that I might have falsified my move?

What do you think of the wallpaper?
I chose one of the best ones.

Well, I guess it's not bad.

-So, what is it?
-I have a few things to tell you.

Recyclables are collected
every Wednesday at 9:00 a.m.

-At the end of the alley--
-Hold on.

-Recyclables?
-Bring them to the end of the alley.

Boxes like these
should be taken out the day before.

Got it.

The combination
to the front door lock is 870724.

-So, 87…
-And 0724.

Okay, 0724.

You can change it to whatever you want.

What's this number?

My birthday.

Why is my lock combination your birthday?

Nothing came to mind,
so I used the combination to my door lock.

Why would you tell me that?

Whatever. I didn't hear it.
I already forgot.

I'll throw this away.

You need it if you want
to change the combination.

Really? You should've just said so.

-Are you 35, then?
-Yes.

You're a year older than me.

Was that a hint of affection I heard?

Don't you dare show me any.

Are you nuts? I just got goose bumps.

Same here. All right.
That's all I came to tell you.

Any questions?

Go ahead.

Where can I get
a decent cup of coffee around here?

Taking a coffee to go is
how I start my workday.

There are a few near the harbor,

but that place is closest to your clinic.

Where's it?

The 4,000-won place.

No way.

Let bygones be bygones.
They're your neighbors now.

That's not it.

It's just that the coffee there is awful.

Give it another try.

And the renovation will take a while.
I'll let you know.

Sure. How long will it take, though?

I'll call you.

It can't take too long.

He just left.

Recyclables, Wednesday.

Lock combination, 8707…

You heard a new dental clinic
will open up, right?

Who hasn't heard?

I saw the dentist move in the other day,

and it's someone we all know!

It's the young lady
Chief Hong brought to the gutting deck.

-What?
-Are you sure?

Of course, I am!

So? What's so great about doctors?

My son is an accountant in Seoul.

Not that again.
Everyone in Gongjin knows now.

This is great, though. You've been
having trouble with your teeth,

so visit there once it opens.

You think I'll spend my money
for my damn teeth

when I don't have many days to live?

Tell me about it. That implant thingy

costs as much as a car.

Come on. You know
eating well is most important.

Over there. There's that dentist.

-What?
-What?

Goodness.

Is she…

Did I see that right?
She's only wearing her long johns, right?

Is that what you saw too?

For a second, I thought my mind
was playing tricks on me.

My goodness. What has the world come to?

All of her skin was showing over here.

How embarrassing.

MODERN PHOTO STUDIO

I know a mischievous face when I see one.

Are the renovations over or not?

He did a good job.

It sure is nice.

-Chief Hong!
-What?

There he is.

Hey.

The gamju is sweet and refreshing.
Who made it?

Isn't it obvious? Du-sik, of course.

You know how to make it?

As if there's anything he can't do.

Apart from finding a wife, I mean.

You're absolutely right.

How did the conversation
turn that way all of a sudden?

Chief Hong,

why is this suit out here?

I'm throwing it out.

Why throw away something perfectly fine?

It looks expensive.

Maybe I should give it to my son-in-law.

Unbelievable. How can you give
your son-in-law a hand-me-down?

Hurry with the soap, will you?
I'm a very busy woman.

Okay. How many do you need?

-I'll take two.
-Two it is.

-Four for me.
-Noted.

-I'll take ten.
-Ten?

Ms. Mat-i, you're a big spender!

Nothing beats it
when it comes to rubbing off

the stench of squid and fish.

-Right.
-It's the absolute best.

Is that so? I appreciate
you saying that, ma'am.

I'll continue to sell it
at 500 won a piece.

That reminds me.

The young lady
you brought to the gutting deck

-is a dentist, correct?
-Yes.

My gosh. You won't believe what we saw.

-How can she be that way?
-Why? Did something happen?

A while ago, we saw her running
along the walking trail.

Her outfit couldn't be more raunchy.

Her top barely covered her
while her pants clung to her body.

I could see her sheer bottom
which had me looking away!

How can one run around
wearing something like that?

-How embarrassing.
-Gosh.

I could even see her belly button.

That's just workout gear.
Many people wear that these days.

-What?
-What?

Grab your soap now.

It smells incredible
thanks to the tangerine peel.

Who will take this? Gosh, I dropped one.

This one got crushed.
I'll cut another piece for you.

Two for Ms. Gam-ri.

Ms. Suk-ja wanted four, right?

And ten for Ms. Mat-i. You're so generous.

Why isn't anyone answering me?

Let's see.

Ms. Yeo?

Doctor. Hi, how are you?

Well, my goodness.

I'm still unpacking…

I love what you've done with the place.

It looks totally different.

Can I get you something to drink?

No, it's fine. I have to get going anyway.

I just came by

to invite you to the party
for the elderly we're having tomorrow.

I see. A party for the elderly?

What do you say? Can you make it?

I'd have to check my schedule.

Please stop by even though you're busy.

Greet your neighbors properly

and promote the opening of your clinic.

A promotion?

Here you go.

-Eat lots.
-Sure.

Let's just consider it
fixed and sunk costs.

-What are you standing there?
-Gosh.

I was about to join.

-What's with the camera?
-I'm here to take photos of the party.

By the hour?

Unfortunately, this one's for free.

Don't take my photos.
I value my portrait rights.

Don't worry. I have high standards
when it comes to my models.

Doctor, over here!

Yes, coming.

Welcome.

-Please have a seat.
-Hello.

You remember us, don't you?

Yes, of course.
I was grateful for the other day.

-You're a dentist, right?
-Yes.

I opened a dental clinic
in the building up there.

Please come by if your teeth bother you.

The world has changed
for the better, hasn't it?

Back then, we could barely make do,

so women rarely received higher education.

I see.

Anyway, enjoy the food.

From what I saw the other day,
you could use some food.

Hold on a second. This piece of meat

wrapped in some of this kimchi…

Go ahead. It's really good, you know.

Open wide.

-Here you go.
-I…

There.

What… Why aren't you eating it?

Well, I…

I'll have it later.
I'm not hungry right now, so…

Is it because she used her hands?
They're clean, you know.

No, that's not it.

Doctor, when did you get here?

Ms. Yeo.

Things were so hectic
that I didn't see you arrive.

Hello.

I saw you move in the other day.

I'm the owner of
Gongjin Korean-Chinese Restaurant.

-Hello.
-Right.

Goodness me. How have things been for you?

It turns out

you rented out the house and office space
that are in her name.

A good landlady should be in your cards,
but you ended up with a fussy one.

What are you spewing?

But I'm right.

Everyone knows you're a fussy one.

That's not true.

Doctor, I'm a friendly one, you know.

I gave you a discount on your deposit
since you leased two.

Don't hesitate to let me know
if anything bothers you.

-Actually, there are a few things.
-Goodness.

Do tell. I'll get it sorted immediately.

Is that so? Then could you

change the utility room floor tiles?

Why? Are there any cracks?

Actually, there are some minor cracks

which don't seem pleasant to the eyes.

-There's also a hole in the screen window.
-My gosh.

It's only as big as
a quarter of my pinky fingernail,

but mosquitoes and fruit flies
can still make it in

-which is a nuisance.
-Goodness.

-Also, you sell fish at your restaurant.
-Right.

Maybe you should consider
another way of grilling it.

The smell is quite overpowering, you see.

I'm particularly not fond
of fishy smells, so…

She's not wrong.

Hi, I'm Bo-ra's mother,
the owner of the supermarket nearby.

Hello.

And this is my husband.

-Hello.
-Hi.

-I run the hardware store.
-I see.

-It's nice to have some youth in the town.
-Right.

You didn't buy anything
at the store the other day.

-Really?
-Just come by anytime.

Actually, it's because
I didn't find what I was looking for.

-What?
-What? What didn't we have?

We have more items
than any other place in town.

-She's right.
-It's a shampoo

from a high-end brand,

so I doubt the countryside has it.

Countryside?

I went by just in case, but I was right.

Don't worry about it.

-I bought some online.
-I see.

-Honey, can you…
-Right.

Slow and steady.

Did you manage to get an
internet connection all the way out here?

I should go change the way I grill fish.

I should get going too.

Does the store not have certain items?

We have the essentials.

If your teeth ever bother you…

So you're really a dentist.

Yes.

My gosh.

I shouldn't have gotten
the wrong idea about you.

I apologize.

Let's forget what happened, shall we?

Let me properly introduce myself then.

A sleepless moonlit night

Right, you don't know the song.

Anyway, I'm Oh Yoon.

A singer.

Hello.

This happens to be my first studio album.

Think of it as a welcoming gift.

-For me?
-Yes.

Thank you. It also has my autograph.

Thank you.

Did you enjoy enough food?

Yes, go ahead.

Ms. Yeo, I'll take a bowl
of yukgaejang too.

-Chief Hong.
-Yes?

Does the smell of my grilled fish
disgust you?

-Of course not.
-Right?

I always use fresh fish caught daily.

-Did someone say something?
-Forget it.

Greetings. This is the village chief,
Chang Yeong-guk.

Today, a party for the elderly

is taking place at the town hall.

We're gathering to wish
our elders good health.

Meat and rice cakes
will be served as part of the feast,

so please attend the party
if you haven't already

and make sure to get there
as soon as you can.

Just so you know, I would've won
the number one song on Top Ten Songs

if I hadn't gone up against
Seo Taiji and Boys in 1993.

Do you know the song "Hayeoga"?

-To you, I'm--
-That song I know.

See? Everyone knows "Hayeoga."

Do you know what Korea's number two

-national treasure is?
-No.

The ten-story Stone Pagoda
at Wongaksa Temple Site.

We all know what
the number one treasure is,

but not number two.

It's the same with you.
You know "Hayeoga,"

but not "Exercising in the Moonlight."

No one ever remembers second place.

Why am I so worked up about this?

It's not you I'm blaming.

Anyway, my second album
was well on its way.

I poured my soul into it.

I even recorded the title song,

but my manager ran off
with all of the production funds.

And while I looked for him
everywhere throughout the country,

people forgot about me.

Since then, all I could do
was sing at nightclubs,

and I ended up settling here in Gongjin.

-I met a woman, you see.
-I need to use the restroom.

Yes, sure thing.

I see you go to the restroom often.

Ms. Dentist, why don't you come
have a bowl of yukgaejang too?

-I'm good.
-Why not? Still on a diet?

That's not it.
I just don't have an appetite.

But it smells incredible.

Are you aware of how much dust is here?

And there are so many people here.

Food cooked out here in the open
is just unsanitary.

Hold on a second.
Are you calling this soup dirty?

I'm just saying.

Spoken like a fussy Seoulite.

Must you be so picky?

Why can't you look the other way
and only see the good things?

What for?

Because you just moved here and--

Hey, Mi-seon. Where are you?

I'm out grocery shopping.

My boyfriend's been busy at work,
so we haven't been able to get together.

I thought I'd cook for him.

Devoted, aren't you?

What's with the commotion?

This is Oh Yoon speaking. It's not
a true party without a song from me!

Geum-cheol, let's do this!

All right!

-Just a second.
-When spring comes

You said you'd come to me

Like a singing swallow

Geum-cheol!

A party for the elderly?
You really went there?

I was hoping I could
promote my new clinic,

but I shouldn't have come.

Why's that? It's not for you, is it?

You have no idea.

In a yard where dirt is kicked up,

they grill meat, boil soup, and sing.

On top of that, the old ladies
use their bare hands when eating.

Gosh, it's like they're doing
everything you hate.

Exactly.

Looking up at the blue sky

I'm reminded of you!

I'm reminded of you

Geum-cheol!

Just like a swallow

My heart flies to you

This is so annoying.
I shouldn't have come.

CANCEL

Hey, what the hell?

-What?
-Darn it.

-Hey, who did that?
-It was getting good.

What's going on?

I don't like anything here.
Maybe I should've just stayed in Seoul.

-What?
-What?

There's this cafe owner here
who's apparently

an obscure singer.

Do you know Oh Yoon?

You don't know, right?

He keeps on talking about himself
when I didn't even ask.

His second album was scrapped
after his manager took off with the money.

Isn't that an excuse though?

If he had the willpower or talent,
he would've made it one way or another.

-I…
-Don't. It's all right.

-Living in the past
-I'm good.

when one's present is in shambles?

That's only what cowards do.

-I feel bad though.
-About what?

I feel bad for those
whose hopes are left behind in the past.

One's unfulfilled dreams
tend to hold a place in the heart.

Anyway, I'm nearly at the cashier now.

Right, bye.

Unbelievable.
How could you have left the mike on?

Turn it off!

What?

Oh, gosh.

Chun-jae.

-Chun-jae!
-Chun-jae!

Here you are. I looked everywhere for you.

Why did you have to… Damn it.

You should take more photos.
Why are you here?

I took enough.

Chun-jae, are you all right?

Don't take what she said to heart.
Consider it as ignorant babbling.

All she said is right though.

My life is worthy of such an assessment.

What are you talking about?

Regulars come by to hear your song,

and you have a daughter you love so much.

You know what?
Let's go someplace nice for a drink

and lighten our mood.

I need to make lunch for Ju-ri.

She didn't want to eat at the party today,

which I scolded her for.

Good thing she didn't come.

I'm off.

DENTAL HYGIENIST WANTED

NEW DENTAL CLINIC IN GONGJIN
LOOKING FOR LONG-TERM EMPLOYEE

Me and my big mouth.

To hell with my business.
I should pack up.

Delivery. Are you Yoon Hye-jin?

I am.

Can you sign here?

I didn't expect it to get here so soon
since it's an overseas delivery.

That's how it usually is,

but this one's early.

You really do everything around here.

What? Why are you staring at me like that?

-You think you're better than everyone.
-What?

Being smart, you got good grades
and became a dentist.

Your life must've been smooth.

Not always, of course,
but all you hit were simple speed bumps.

Getting over those small bumps,

you thought that willpower
could get you anywhere.

If this is about earlier, stop.

I shouldn't have to hear this from you.

Why not? You freely judge
other people's lives,

but are offended
when you're being assessed?

Look here, doctor.
It seems like you're mistaken.

Life isn't so fair for all of us.

Some spend their whole lives
on unpaved roads,

while some run at full speed
only to reach the edge of a cliff.

Got that?

What now? Do you have more to say?

Mi-seon?

I took a cab here.

It cost me 200,000 won.

What's going on?

Let's head inside.

Damn bastard.

So you went to his place with groceries,

and a woman with a two to eight parting

was there in his dress shirt?

Yes.

Apparently, she came after landing.
She's a flight attendant.

And?

Both she and I had no idea.

-That's when the bastard crawled in.
-And?

We both took out items
from the grocery bag.

I wielded spring onions
while she swung the net of onions.

Wasn't there anything sharp?

The spring onions were the sharpest item.

You're a true friend
who'd let me ruin my life completely.

Come on. We're going back to Seoul.

Sit back down.

Why? We should go and kill that bastard.

Or did you already?

Enough with the crap
and take down that classified ad.

Board and lodging
and a ten percent raise. Okay?

Deal?

Deal.

Come here!

CHUNG-HO SCUBA DIVING

YOON DENTAL CLINIC

It's finally D-day.

Let's get off to a good start.

YOON DENTAL CLINIC OPENING EVENT

I guess word didn't spread properly.

What if I promote the clinic online?
I have 50,000 followers on social media.

BORA SUPERMARKET

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Yun-gyeong, I'd like to buy some shampoo.

The one with the nice scent.

Unbelievable.

What's going on?

Hey, did you do something wrong?

What is it?

What?

What's wrong?

-Chief Hong.
-Yes?

Why do you keep glancing at her?

It's nothing. The anchovies
are on the smaller side today.

Well, they're supposed to be small.

-Right.
-They look delicious.

Goodness.

Gosh!

Seriously? And you're telling me this now?

If I had told you sooner,
you wouldn't have moved here.

You're not a friend, but a scam artist.

What am I going to do?
The rumors must've spread.

Forget it.

Private clinics can't stay afloat
without the town's trust.

Let's pack it up and head back to Seoul.

How can I

when I spent a fortune here?

Don't think of it like that.
Cut your losses now,

or you'll spend months being in the red.

Like my dad.

Hey!

Where are you going?

Where is she going?

Out for some moonlight jogging?

You must be angry
about what I said that day.

By the way,

how about you run
in a different outfit next time?

-What?
-Rumor has it

that the dentist
runs around in her long johns.

These are leggings.

Whether I wear long johns or a bikini
is none of their business.

Yes, you're right. But I'd appreciate
you meeting them halfway.

I see you've yet
to catch up with the world.

Meddling can be dangerous, you know.

I know that it's for a better workout
and not for other people to see.

-But?
-This may sound old-fashioned,

but this isn't Seoul.
The town has an older population.

It sure is exhausting.

Yet, you're the one
who chose to open a dental clinic here.

Don't we all need some time to adjust?

I've thought about it,
and all people make mistakes.

Technically speaking, you didn't know
that the mic was turned on.

We all badmouth others
at least once in our lives.

It'll be fine, so don't worry.

Everyone in this town is probably busy
talking smack about you too.

Now that things are even,
you can move forward from here.

Did you hand out rice cakes?

Unbelievable.

HWAJEONG RAW FISH RESTAURANT

Ms. Yeo.

Hello. This is to celebrate
the opening of my clinic.

Right. I see you bought rice cakes.

-Please have it while it's warm.
-Thank you.

Hello, I'm here from Yoon Dental Clinic.

Please have some rice cakes.

You can leave it here.

Have a good day.

Darn it. Why isn't this working?

BORA SUPERMARKET

Hello.

Have some rice cake.

I'm being tested for
gestational diabetes tomorrow.

I see you can't have any.

Sorry about that.

I'm sorry.

Hello.

Yoon Dental Clinic just opened.
I hope we get along.

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

Hey, it's the dentist!

-Hello.
-Hello.

Hi, kids.

What are you up to?

What's this?

Is it a hedgehog?

Yes.

No way.

You want me to take care of it?

Yes, we saved up our allowance to buy it,

but my mom won't let me keep it.

GONGJIN MARKET

You can take it instead then.

I was going to,

but I haven't been able
to tell my mom yet.

He'll ask her once he wins a prize
at the math competition.

Is that so?

That'll be really hard.
Are you sure you can do it?

He's super smart!

He gets a perfect score all the time.

Really?

Still, I'm afraid I can't take this.

Hey, why don't you ask
Chief Hong to look after it?

We already asked,

and he declined.

Why?

He acts all high and mighty
but declines a child's request?

I'm sorry to say this,
but I can't look after it either.

Pets aren't really my thing,

and providing for myself is tough enough.

Look for someone else to help, okay?
Again, I'm sorry.

Enjoy your rice cake.

See? I told you she wouldn't do it for us.

My mom said that
she's such a cold-hearted person.

Money sure is great.
You always get what you pay for.

How was the facial?

Gosh.

What's this? Is that a hedgehog?

Where did you get it?

Someone asked me
to take care of it for a few days.

Who in this town would ask you?

Well, my first patient in Gongjin did.

What do you mean?
We still have zero patients.

Hey.

What's with all this mail?

How many charity organizations
do you support?

Jeez. It's not that many.

Not that many, my foot.

Single mothers, low-income households,

and schools in Africa.

Shouldn't you be
tightening your belt instead?

Until we get patients,
cut back on monthly donations.

Look at it run.

Just look at it go.

-There you go.
-Unbelievable.

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

REGULAR PERFORMANCE CANCELED

Chun-jae, has today's performance
been canceled?

Yes, I'm not feeling all that good.

What, how bad is it?

What? My head is a bit…

Customers never seem
to finish their coffee. What a waste.

-That's because it's no good.
-What?

Your coffee tastes awful.
Uncle Du-sik's is good though.

-It's really bad.
-Ju-ri, stop.

-What? It's true.
-Right?

I don't do anything right.

Ju-ri, I know you've hit puberty
and want to rebel

-every three seconds.
-Puberty?

But don't be so mean to your father.
You'll regret it later.

-You smell like a geezer.
-What?

-You stink.
-I don't.

You do.

I only say this
because I'm the slightest bit wiser.

-And I sound like an adult, not a geezer.
-"Adult."

-Don't be crooked like your eyebrows.
-Wait. Do my eyebrows look weird?

That can't be.

Gosh. They look perfectly fine!

I sure did a good job on them.

Jeez.

THE END AND THE BEGINNING
OH YOON

DEMO OF THE END AND THE BEGINNING,
OH YOON'S 2ND ALBUM

YOON DENTAL CLINIC

WEEKDAYS 9:00 TO 18:00
SATURDAYS 9:00 TO 12:00

I hope we get patients today.

We will. You handed out
the rice cakes, remember?

The rice cakes?

Welcome.

Good day.

What the hell?

You still don't get it.

Why are you on my case again?

Because you're pathetic.
Do you really think

that giving out rice cakes was enough?

I followed your advice.

-It made no difference.
-Because it was insincere.

Didn't you reluctantly show your face
and ask them to come by some time?

I can almost see it.

So what?

-Come with me.
-Where?

Would you rather let your business tank?

Are you nuts? Why would you bring me here?

Aren't you a resident too?
You should be at the neighborhood meeting.

You know what I mean.

-I can't go in there.
-Jeez.

Will you just keep avoiding them then?

If you can't pick up spilt milk,

you should at least
apologize to them for spilling the milk,

rather than avoid them.

Go in already. I'm busy.

Aren't you going in?

No, I have other things to do.

Wait.

How can I possibly go in there alone?

They're all strangers to me.

Are you leaning on me?

-Of course not.
-Then get in there already.

Don't even think about running.
I'll hunt you down.

Are you leaning on me?

No.

Did she really think that
giving out the rice cakes would do?

I thought she was nice,

but she thinks my supermarket
is a corner shop

and calls Gongjin the countryside.

She couldn't be more wrong.
This is an old town with a long history.

It has history and is on the bigger side.

Gongjin used to be home
to the Dragon King.

But there she is running
while barely covered.

It must've angered the Dragon King.

Tell me about it.

And how dare she
look down on us like that?

It sure is upsetting.

That's enough. Please drop it already.

What do you mean we should drop it?

Aren't you just as pissed off?

When will you stop hitting people
while you talk?

When did I do that?

You did it just now.

Sitting next to you hurts.

Stop accusing me
of something I didn't do. My gosh.

Chun-jae, you tell me. Did I do that?

Goodness.

Must you two get into it again?

Gosh.

Hello, everyone.

-What?
-Huh?

-Dr. Yoon!
-What?

I never expected you
to attend the neighborhood meeting.

Tell me about it.

I'm sorry about the town hall
not meeting your high standards.

Jeez.

God, it's heavy. Move out of the way.

-Gosh, this almost killed my back.
-What is it?

-I'm a little late, aren't I?
-Yes.

I went to bring today's snacks.

-Snacks?
-Yes.

It's all Dr. Yoon's treat.

-What?
-What?

She asked for my help.

She was edgy because she just moved,
so she made a mistake.

She wanted to apologize
and asked me to prepare some food.

Yun-gyeong, I bought these
from your store earlier

-and left a receipt.
-Really?

Of course.

Please take your pick then!

We have yugwa and gangjeong,
as well as fruits and beverages.

For those with bad teeth,

there are white and yellow peaches.

-Goodness.
-Yellow peaches?

-Don't just sit there. Help me.
-Of course.

-Geum-cheol.
-Yes?

Me? Okay.

Take this.

-Take the box.
-Here you go.

-It's fine. You can take a seat.
-Goodness.

-Here.
-My gosh.

Here. Take the beverages.

And this.

-Also…
-She bought a lot.

So that'll be the end of today's meeting.

I hope you didn't forget about
the weekly cleaning this Saturday.

-No.
-Of course not.

Please bring your cleaning tools

and gather at the recycling site
at 9:00 a.m. sharp.

-Right.
-Got it.

Before we wrap up,

let's give it up for Dr. Yoon who
provided the snacks for today's meeting.

Right.

It was nice.

We enjoyed it.

Everything was good.

I enjoyed those snacks.

-Bye.
-Good night.

Good job for today.

You too, Ms. Gam-ri.

-Get some rest then.
-Good night.

-Bye!
-Good night!

-Thanks for today.
-Chun-jae, get home safely.

-Good night.
-You too.

Thank you for today.

I didn't expect you to care so much.

-Give me your hand.
-What?

Show me your hand.

My hand?

-What's this?
-Take a look.

A total of 125,000 won?

Before I knew it, I bought that much.

You know where to wire the money, right?

So does this mean

you bought the snacks to help me,

-but I have to pay?
-Of course.

You're obviously richer,
so why should I pay?

-You're telling me now?
-Why not?

I didn't ask you to do this.

You didn't even ask for my consent.

You should work on how to say thanks.

Neighborhood meeting or whatnot,
don't invite me to events like this again.

I won't let it slide.

Wire it by the end of the day. Bye.

I warned you.

Duly noted.

What the hell?

I'm not grateful anymore.

Hurry, guys.

-Hurry over!
-Morning!

-Morning.
-Hurry up. Just look at the time!

-There they come.
-Hello.

Honey, I told you to stay home.

-Let's get this over with.
-Hello.

Let's split into teams

and pick up the trash thoroughly.
We'll all contribute, okay?

Thank you, everyone.
Let's get started then.

Goodness. I see you just got up.

Right. What is this about?

At the neighborhood meeting,
I mentioned the weekly cleaning.

Everyone else showed up, but you didn't
until well over 9:00 a.m., so I came.

Right.

Could I perhaps skip it this once?

As you know, I just moved here.

I'll participate starting next week.

Sure thing.

All right, then.

That's understandable.

Ms. Dentist, get out here.

Get out here, Ms. Dentist!

He's so annoying.

I know you're in there.

I won't leave until you come out.

Get out here!

Ms. Dentist!

Jeez.

Out. Get out.

Go, see what he wants!

Chief Hong,

I feel a little under the weather.

Opening the clinic
must've taken a toll on me.

What?

I have a fever too.

Is that so? That's too bad.

Let me see. Hold on.

Found it.

Here it is.

Here.

That's 36.3°C.

You're 0.2°C below average.

Well…

Maybe I run colder.

Get out here now!

Just leave me alone!

I need my sleep.

Chun-jae.

Help the ladies over there.

Won't you sweep?

Can't you see that I am?
I'm not the only one out here.

YOON DENTAL CLINIC

The clinic is open, right?

Right, of course. Ms. Pyo?

-It's your first time, right?
-Yes.

-Please fill out this form first.
-Sure.

-Right here.
-Got it.

-Here.
-Thank you.

Mr. Choi Eun-cheol, shall we?

Okay.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello. It's your first time, right?

I went there because you recommended it,
and it was nice.

Really?

The treatment didn't hurt
which shows her competence,

and the cost was reasonable.

I'm glad.

Anyway, thanks.

See you.

-No customers?
-You're here.

I'm sorry I had to step out.

Don't be. I'm paid to watch the cafe.

One might think I actually pay you a lot.

Why you won't accept a raise is beyond me.

I like things the way they are.

Aren't you going fishing today?

I'm here, so get going.

After I'm done with this.

By the way,
I uploaded a file on your computer.

A file? What kind of file?

Your second title song,
"The End and the Beginning."

2ND ALBUM THE END AND THE BEGINNING

I didn't think it belonged in the trash.

Times have changed.

It's been digitized, so you
don't need to listen to it on a tape.

How nice of you to care so much about me.

Thanks, Du-sik.

I'm good though.

What?

I'm done reminiscing my past.

I can't make it big
as a singer anymore at this age,

so I should focus on the present.

I'm going to put my head on straight
and improve the cafe instead.

I need to put Ju-ri through fashion school
so that she can become a designer.

-Chun-jae.
-So can you teach me how to make coffee?

How can I run a cafe when I can't
even make a decent cup of it?

I guess that was bad.

I'm in.

I won't go easy on you.

-Got it.
-Right.

-Get over here then.
-Right now?

Of course. I said I wouldn't
go easy on you.

-Gosh.
-Darn.

Even I don't drink the coffee I make.

Thank you. Please have a good day.

Ms. Park In-sun?

Hello, sir.

Is this your first time here?

You're almost done.

Suction, please.

Okay.

WALDEN BY HENRY DAVID THOREAU

WHAT I DESIRE ARE
THE FLOWERS AND FRUIT OF PEOPLE

Hye-jin, my gosh. What a day.
It was exhausting, wasn't it?

No, I was so happy
that I didn't feel tired at all.

This could be the beginning
of great success!

Tell me about it.

It's odd though.
How did we get so many all of a sudden?

What?

Our situation changed literally overnight.

Did my social media pay off?

Or maybe the bad rumors about you
have finally subsided.

Life isn't so fair for all of us.

Some spend their whole lives
on unpaved roads,

while some run at full speed
only to reach the edge of a cliff.

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

I…

listened to the album you gave me.

Right.

To be honest though,

"Exercising in the Moonlight"
wasn't all that good.

I see.

But,

I did enjoy "Blue Scar on the Heart".

The melody was nice
and I could relate to the lyrics.

I really liked it.

Oh, I see.

So that's more your style.

I'm truly sorry about
what I said that day.

That day? And what day would that be?

Have you perhaps seen Chief Hong today?

You mean Du-sik? Well,

he went out to the mudflats.

Would you be able to find it though?

-From Gongjin Harbor--
-Yes, I know where it is.

I see. It's where Turtle Rock is.

Right. Well, enjoy your smoke.

Actually, I'm trying to quit.

-Thank you.
-Thanks to you too.

I really should quit.
A singer shouldn't smoke.

2ND ALBUM THE END AND THE BEGINNING

3. "THE END AND THE BEGINNING"

Chief Hong.

Chief Hong!

Fancy seeing you here.

Well, I had something to say.

Go ahead.

The clinic had a surge of patients today,

and I think I have you to thank.

I thought about
what you said the other day too.

I'm not saying you were right,

-but you have a point--
-I can't hear a thing!

Can you come up here?

I don't think I can.

Your shoes always cause trouble.

Here.

Come on.

Did I keep you waiting long?

Absolutely.
Did you catch a lot of fish today?

Well, there was a ton caught on the net.

Some of your favorite croaker too.

Gosh, that's my favorite.

Why don't we grill some for dinner today?

Sounds delicious!

Sir, if you don't mind,
could you take a photo of us?

I'm not good at things like this though.

It's quite easy.
Look into this lens and press the button.

-Let me give it a try.
-Thank you.

Go stand there.

Hye-jin, smile for the camera.

But Mom, you were sick just a while ago.

I'm fine. I'm not sick at all anymore.

All right. One…

Two…

Three!

Here.

Thank you, sir.

Come on. Let's go.

Thank you.

Hye-jin.

One, two, three.

Why don't we go to the photo studio
and take a photo too?

Yes, I'd love that!

WALDEN

MODERN PHOTO STUDIO

It's perfect.

Into the battlefield!

I heard you're going to Seoul today.
Let's go together.

What? When did this get taken?

He's not a boyfriend.

I'm not interested,
but he keeps chasing me.

Do you want me to wait with you?

-You must have been in a lot of pain.
-Is it bad?

Can you please leave?

You know I grew up this big
because you fed me.

So, with this…

Please come back to the clinic.

But you have to keep it a secret.
