ONCE UPON A SMALL TOWN

Good morning.

Where did he go?

Ja-young is off today.

Pardon?

She took him out for a walk this morning.

She wanted to, so I let her.

He seemed to need some fresh air.

She took a half-wild dog out for a walk?

What if she loses her grip on the leash?

There she is.

Hello.

Right.

Here, you should say hi, too.

"Hello."

Hey, can I show you something fun?

Just like you did earlier, okay?

All right.

Over there! Why aren't you going?

You did it earlier.
Why won't you go get it?

Darn it.

Gosh.

Why didn't you go after it?

Nurungji, why didn't you go fetch?
You did so well earlier.

Here.

His leg seems all better now.

You're not keeping him
at the hospital forever, are you?

I shouldn't keep him in that cage anymore.
I'll find someone to adopt him.

Should I adopt him then?

-What?
-I have a fairly regular work schedule,

and I don't have
any other family members to worry about.

Oh, and it was a long time ago,
but I do have experience raising a dog.

What?

Oh, were you uncomfortable?

You were uncomfortable, weren't you?

Let me adopt him.

But while you're here,

you provide the food
and medicine for free. Deal?

Come here.

Goodness.

"Ja-young will take good care of me.
Is it a deal?"

All right, it's ready.

Here.

Go on in.

Try it.

You don't want to?

That's okay.
You just need some time to adjust, right?

A puppy?

You're giving it to me?

Thanks! It's so pretty. So cute!

Hi.

It's so pretty.

What's its name, by the way?

Really?

In that case,

let's call it Cloud. How's that?

You like that, Cloud?
Cloud, I know you like it, too.

You're so cute.

Cloud is gone, and you're here now.

Is she just an animal person?

I guess Ja-young is an animal person.

She makes friends with them
before you know it.

But then again, she makes friends easily
with people and animals alike.

It's a skill, really.

-What is that?
-She gave it to me, so I pinned it on.

Such a pretty little flower, isn't it?
So cute.

HAN DEOK-JIN VETERINARY HOSPITAL

I'll see you later.

JEON SEON-MI HAIR SALON

Hello.

Have you eaten yet?

-Yes.
-This place is really good too.

You should try it next time.

Okay.

-Hello, doctor.
-How are you?

We just finished eating. Have you eaten?

Yes, I just ate.

We should grab a bite to break the ice.

Let's eat together sometime.
It'll be my treat.

Sure.

Okay.

Hello, sir.

I see.

Okay, I understand, yes.

It's the gamjatang restaurant.
There's a drunk customer making a scene.

I'll swing by there, so you all head back.

In broad daylight?
All right, hurry over then.

Just a moment.

She's busy.

-Yes.
-She's the busiest in our village.

Oh, really?

Okay, I'll be right there.

It's Ms. Jang.

She caught some teenagers
smoking in front of her house,

so she wants me to come.

Perhaps you and Sergeant Yoon can--

Let's go deal with the drunk customer
at the restaurant. That'd be better.

Give them a decent scare.

You have a good day, doctor.

Let's do lunch next time.

-Why me…
-Hurry up.

Why are you taking me…

Oh, really?

Okay.

Good job, Auntie.

Okay.

She ran into one of their moms

and his mom spanked him 100 times
and dragged him home.

What are the odds
of running into her right there?

Chief will regret swapping tasks with me.

I have to say, you really are very busy.

I like that I'm busy.

The fact that so many people need me

must mean that I'm a useful person.

And I like that.

Sang-hyeon always says
that I just want attention.

He's one to talk.

He's quite needy himself.

It must be nice.

That Mr. Lee seems to
care a lot about you.

We did grow up together since birth.

And we'll probably see each other
until we die.

You don't have any friends, do you?

What's with the reaction?

Do you really not? I'm so sorry.

It must be boring
being out in the countryside

without a single friend.

-I do have friends.
-But you don't have one here.

No, wait.

Maybe you do.

I'm too busy to have time to be bored.

Don't you miss your girlfriend?

You said you had a girlfriend.

Well, you can't get together
whenever you miss someone.

I guess that's true.

Being able to see someone
whenever you miss them

would be a tremendous blessing.

Whoever it may be.

What's wrong?

Did I just sound like a moody teenager?

Not at all.

-How's the dog doing?
-Nurungji? He's doing well.

He has a name now.
Please call him Nurungji from now on.

What?

Isn't it cute?

Nurungji?

Nurungji?

Hi! Where are you going?

Why aren't you driving your new truck?

He's on his way back after lunch.

-Going out to buy something?
-Mating disrupter.

Do you know what that is?

Could it be something
that disrupts mating?

Some kind of pheromone?

You know your stuff.

There are these bugs called peach moths.

It's the worst kind of evil
that destroys peaches.

So I use strong pheromones

to disrupt their mating
and prevent them from laying eggs.

But from their perspective,
it must be a very frustrating situation.

I've been empathizing with them lately,
you know?

Someone's getting in the way
of their romance.

Hey, are you having a heatstroke?
What's wrong with you?

It's just a thought that passed my mind.

I've never felt that way before,
but I do lately.

Bye.

Hey!

Is his work that stressful?
I wonder why he's acting like that.

Man, it's hot.

HAN DEOK-JIN VETERINARY HOSPITAL

Looks like I should visit
the Hwajeong City barn tomorrow.

They already called, actually.

Wait, that's…

It's mine.

Oh, my gosh.

My goodness.

But I thought you didn't drink
instant coffee.

How come you're drinking it?

I guess I was just craving
something sweet today.

Are you having trouble
with your love life?

I can tell from your face.

It's nothing like that.

-Did he not come here?
-Who?

Nurungji.

He didn't. Has he gone missing?

I went home to feed him,

but he wasn't there. Just his leash.

You said he was adjusting well
just a few days ago.

Did you look nearby?

Yes. Do you think he'll come back?

What if he doesn't?

What if he gets caught
hunting a chicken somewhere?

Darn it.

Calm down first.

If he ran while you went into town,
he couldn't have gone far,

so let's search around your house more.

There are narrow alleyways.
You'd be better off on your bike.

I see.

Call me if you need me.
I'll go look for him.

Yes, okay.

Oh, my gosh.

Nurungji.

Nurungji.

Nurungji.

Nurungji.

Nurungji.

Nurungji.

Nurungji.

Nurungji.

-Nurungji.
-Nurungji.

Nurungji.

I'll go this way. You look over there.

Okay.

Nurungji.

Nurungji.

Nurungji.

Nurungji.

Nurungji.

Nurungji.

Where did he go?

Nurungji.

Nurungji.

Go look over there.

-Okay.
-I'll call you if I find him.

Nurungji.

Nurungji.

Auntie, have you seen a puppy
about this big?

No, I haven't.

Okay.

Nurungji.

-Nurungji.
-Nurungji.

Nurungji!

Hey, Nurungji!

Nurungji. Wait.

Nurungji! Hey, wait!

Wait!

Nurungji!

You were a dad?

Boksil!

Boksil?

Good girl.

No. Over here, Boksil.

No!

What do we do?

I can't find your contact.

You'd need eagle eyes to find it.

Let's stop looking.

Even if we find it,
I can't put it back on right away.

Plus, it was pretty old.

But still…

How's your arm? Does it hurt a lot?

I think I scratched it a little
when I fell.

-It's nothing.
-This isn't nothing.

We can't leave it be. Let's go back.

Whether you go to a hospital
or treat it yourself,

we should get back to town.

Grab this and follow me, okay?

Boksil came to our village this spring.

She was a stray dog until Aunt Gang-hwa
took her home and started raising her.

I thought she was adjusting well,
but I guess that wasn't the case.

Seeing how she had puppies
in secret like that.

Hold on.

How long have those two been together?

Well, canine pregnancy is
a little over two months…

So for at least that long.

Oh, really?

Wow.

I mean, Aunt Gang-hwa did find it weird

that she found hair in Boksil's poop.

Hey, Nurungji.

You weren't eating those chickens
by yourself, were you?

You're pretty loyal to your mate.

You really know all kinds of things,
Officer Ahn.

You think I'm super nosy, don't you?

I mean, I didn't use those exact words.

I can hear you thinking it.

I do find it kind of fascinating.

Even for a small village resident,

you know so much about everyone

and you're so friendly to them.

And they're not even your family.

I think of them as family.

I genuinely feel like
everyone in this village is my family.

When I was a kid, I suddenly found myself
living alone with my grandmother.

Anyway, they've given me so much,
so I owe them.

No one grows up alone, you know?

But do you think
the puppies will be okay there?

It seems Boksil has been
taking good care of them.

They are plump and have clean fur.

But it's still dangerous to live out here,
so we should relocate them soon.

By the way…

Are you sure you can't see well right now?

Yes.

That's a relief.

I'm not wearing any makeup
and I'm totally sweaty.

Well, that makes two of us.

Actually, I'd say you're in
much worse shape.

You got one here too.

Let's go.

Let's go, Nurungji.

Hello?

Yes.

Okay, I'll be right there.

What's wrong? Is it something urgent?

It was the Women's Association president.

Her cow is having trouble giving birth.

I see.

Then we'll need a pulley for the delivery.

There's one shared by everyone,
but I don't know where it is right now.

But we have a bigger problem.

You can't see properly.
Are you going to be okay?

What do I do? Seriously.

Why is this happening
when my husband isn't around?

She's been bellowing nonstop for a while.

Don't worry too much.
I'll try to palpate it first.

It'll be hard for her
since it's her first delivery.

Where are they?

There they are.

My gosh, how is it?

The calf's heartbeat is getting weaker.

-This puts the cow in danger as well.
-Then what do we do?

Do you have a pulley?

It's not here.
Should I get it from the village hall?

No, we don't have time.

Bring me a long rope, a sturdy one!

Long rope? Got it.

How is it going?

The calf is stuck on the pelvic bone.
I have to pull it out quickly.

Your glasses.

You think it'll be okay?

That won't do. Hold these for me.

You want me to hold these?

But…

Could you hold this end, please?

-Okay. One, two, three.
-Two, three.

Pull.

-One, two, three.
-Three.

-One, two, three.
-Two, three.

Just a little more!

-It's coming out!
-It's coming. Come on.

-One, two, three.
-Two, three.

-It's out!
-It's out!

-It's out!
-It's out!

-We did it!
-It's out!

Oh my gosh. It's out.

Oh, my goodness!

There.

-There.
-Oh, my goodness.

-Just wipe down its head.
-Okay.

You did well.

Oh, my goodness. What in the world?

Are you sure this was your first time?

I know, right?

On such a difficult delivery
with no pulley…

Ja-young, you did a great job
fetching his glasses

and assisting him with the delivery.

You two stay for dinner, okay?

Don't you dare turn me down.

Wait. You need hot water, don't you?

I'll be right back, okay?

You're really amazing.

I'm no expert,

but I do know
that it's much more difficult

to deal with large animals like this

than it is to handle small animals
like cats or dogs.

If I were in your shoes earlier,
I wouldn't have known what to do.

I would have just stood around shaking.

That was so cool. I mean it.

I was actually really scared.

Your compliments are helping me relax.

You did great.

Right. You can't clean your glasses
because your hands are dirty.

Here, let me.

Here.

There you go.

You're just so cute. Oh, my.

I have something to tell you

But why don't I have the courage?

I want to tell you, but I am not confident

So only my heart is beating hard

A fool, a fool

I must be a fool

Are you ready?
Go ahead and have a seat over there.

I mean, the food was too good
for us to not share.

Hey, watch your head.

So I just called a few people
who live nearby. Here.

A fool, a fool

-Honey.
-Yes?

-This is the vet.
-Oh, doctor.

Have a seat.

Thank you for today.
Here, let me pour you a glass.

Oh, my gosh.

Mr. Hong, get over here!

-Oh, come on.
-Okay.

Oh, jeez.

I didn't know
this was such a stylish jacket.

It was something they gave me.

-Does it look weird?
-Oh, no.

Is your arm okay now?

It's fine.

Still, treat it carefully for a few days.
Your hands do such important work.

I guess you're right. Just like today.

Our Young Men's Association
president is here!

-Oh, you're here.
-Dig in!

Hey.

-I heard you did great today.
-Well, everything I do is great.

Did you get a lot of orders?

Of course, I grew those peaches.

-Come closer.
-What?

-You'll get bitten by mosquitoes.
-Mosquitoes?

Here comes some meat.

Delicious meat.
Doesn't matter how you cook it.

Stack them tight inside your belly.
Okay, doctor?

Well, I…

I actually don't eat meat,
so you don't have to worry about me.

You don't eat meat?

You're kidding, right?
I mean, you don't eat meat at all?

You don't eat meat? Then what do you eat?

Come on,

I heard you used up a lot of energy
pulling that calf out.

You must be secretly eating
something good.

My gosh. So what is it?
You should share if it's that good.

My goodness, look at our
Young Men's Association president eating.

That's how you eat.

A Huidong man can even eat
a piece of rubber, you know?

Feed him. Just feed him everything.

If you eat rubber,
there's just something wrong with you.

Hear, hear.
A man should be able to eat anything.

You can't be picky with food!

If the whole nation ate meat
like Sang-hyeon,

raising cows would be so rewarding.

Will you give it a rest?

You're making him uncomfortable.

All right, let's drink.

Oh, my.

That's actually good news.
It means there's more for us.

-You're right.
-Hear, hear.

Ja-young, you did such a good job today.

-Here, eat up.
-All right.

-What is that?
-Guess what this is!

I love our Women's Association president.

-She's bringing out her best liquor.
-What is that?

-Today's a good day…
-It's her special bush clover liquor.

We have a special guest, and…

She makes it bush clover, raspberries,
and some other things.

But she keeps the other ingredients
and the ratio a secret.

You'll get to have two glasses each.

Especially those men here
who don't really need it, okay?

-All right, pass it around.
-I hear it's very tasty,

but the effects are
supposed to be quite impressive.

I wouldn't know though.
I've only had one sip.

Hey, is it really true?

Are you seriously asking me about that?

Well, I don't know.

It's supposed to be good for men.

I guess you do consider me a man.

Here.

Here I am.

Do you want a glass, Sang-hyeon?

All right.

And you, Ja-young?

No, I'm supposed to switch shifts
with Sergeant Yoon,

so I have to get going.

Today, of all days?

How about you, doctor?
Would you like a glass?

I'm good too.

Good call.
It's a lot stronger than you think.

I guess I can have one glass.

Okay. Give it here.

You really shouldn't.

Here.

They say it's quite effective,

so I'm curious.

Sang-hyeon, do you want one more?

And one more for the doctor too.

Well, you've both had some liquor.

But Ja-young hasn't had any,
so what should we do with her?

There's something we can't miss
especially on a day like this.

We've got to hear a song
sung by Huidong's pride,

Huidong's singer, Ahn Ja-young!

-Ahn Ja-young!
-Ahn Ja-young!

I guess it has been a while
since I sing for you guys.

Applause!

One, two, three, four.

Who might you be

That you took away my heart?

I am crying

Because of you

I am laughing

Because of you

Who might you be

That you set my heart ablaze?

Who could the yearning reflection
In the mirror?

Come and look me in the eyes
And you'll see

Why is it that I want to trust you?

Why is it that I love you?

Who might you be

That you took my heart away?

You took my heart away, Ahn Ja-young!

All right, cheers to our VIP of the day,
the vet from Seoul!

I should get going.

-What?
-What?

-What did you say?
-You're leaving?

-He should sing.
-But why?

-Why is he spoiling the mood?
-Where's he going?

What did you say?

Come on, guys.

Enjoy your meal.

That's not cool at all.

-Let me go with you.
-I'm sorry?

I have to leave too,
since I have my night shift.

It's on the way.

-Then I will--
-Sang-hyeon, my glass is empty!

Get over here.

-Come here.
-What are you doing?

Quickly!

-Okay.
-What are you doing?

Go be a good drinking buddy.

-Come here and pour me a glass!
-See you later.

Let's go.

Be careful of the ridges.
You could fall in.

Okay.

-Did you have a lot to drink?
-What?

You don't look so happy.

I'd say kind of uneasy.

I'm not.

If I have some time tomorrow,
I think I'll bring the puppies in.

We can't just leave them there.

I should bring them
straight to the hospital, right?

-All by yourself?
-Yes.

Would that be kind of difficult?

In that case,

would you come with me?

You think you should go with Mr. Lee.

I'm fully booked tomorrow.

I didn't think it through.

I wouldn't want to cause
any misunderstanding.

Are you okay?

Yes.

You're not hurt?

Your bicycle…

-Shine the light on the ground, please.
-Oh, sure.

I'm sorry.

Right after I told you to be careful…
I'm sorry.

It's okay. It's dark out here.

Maybe I should file
a civil complaint to pave the road here

and put up some street lights.
Flashlights aren't enough.

You should see if the chain is okay.

No, don't touch it.
Your hands will get dirty.

I'll rinse it with water and look.

Seriously, it's okay. Stop feeling sorry.

But still…

Hey, what are you doing?

Why are you here?

Is the party already over?

You left a while ago,
and you're still here?

You must be a lightweight.

Falling into the rice paddy.

You must have been really worried
about something.

Following us all the way here.

She left with a guy who was curious
about the effects of the liquor,

so of course I was worried.

Men are all the same, aren't they?

You'd know.

Hey, are you drunk?

Why are you accusing him like that?

I didn't drink that much.

Since he is here, I'll get going now.

Will you be okay?
Your bicycle is all messed up.

Well, the light still works,

and he says
that he's different from other shady men.

So I'll think of this
as leaving you with a girlfriend

and be on my way.

Do you mind?

Ahn Ja-young, I'm the same.

What do you mean?

I'm the same as any other dude out there.

When I see you,
I want to hold you and hug you.

Just like them.

I like you.

Ahn Ja-young.

What I'm saying is,

don't feel too comfortable with me.

-Officer Ahn just stopped by.
-Was she alone?

She wasn't with Mr. Lee or anyone else?

Are they dating now?

The summer sure feels long, doesn't it?

Right. You have to get back to Seoul.

If you'll be gone soon,
don't give her the wrong idea.

Doctor, did Ja-young do something wrong?

Why did you do something I never asked
and make me feel indebted?

Look, Mr. Han Ji-yul.

Officer Ahn! Wake up, please!
