MY NAME IS GABRIEL

WHAT IF YOU LIVE IN A PLACE WHERE NO ONE KNOWS YOU FOR 72 HOURS?

I don't know what it'll be like, but...

If I find a new side of me...

I think it'll be fun!

I think it'll be fun.

I was really surprised the first day.

I'm sure it'll work out.

Three days is barely enough to adjust.

I can start now. Which country and what job?

Things I've never done and never will.

I wonder how those people feel doing that job?

ANALYSIS STARTS

I think celebrities should endure more hardships like this.

"Where am I? What am I doing here?"

Seeing myself apart

in an unfamiliar place...

I shouldn't have come.

What I do best

is putting on a performance.

I'm good at cooking big batches of food.

It's not pretty, but I'm fast.

I'm also a DJ.

I can mix things.

I keep mixing...

Crap.

I love to dance and sing.

I can dance if everyone's dancing.

THE LIFE OF OTHERS AROUND THE WORLD

Oh?

What do I do? Goodness.

What's going on?

TO IMMERSE ONESELF IN ANOTHER REAL LIFE

AN UNFAMILIAR COUNTRY WITH AN UNFAMILIAR NAME

LIVING THE NEXT 72 HOURS IN A STRANGER'S SHOES

I felt myself getting absorbed into that family and society.

It felt like I was in a happy movie.

It felt so unfamiliar yet still so warm.

I hope they stay this beautiful.

It was such a fulfilling experience.

A STRANGER'S NOT SO UNFAMILIAR LIFE

MY NAME IS GABRIEL

STARTS NOW

Wow!

Nice to meet you, everyone.

Welcome to Gabriel's World.

- Welcome. - I'm Defconn. Say hello.

Hello. We're Davichi.

Wow, the video says it all.

We can't wait!

I can't wait either. So how would you feel

if someone called you "Gabriel" in an unfamiliar place

where you couldn't even communicate?

I think it'd be thrilling. I'd be living someone else's life.

- That's right. - I'd be so happy.

I'm annoyed just thinking about being in another country...

Already stressed?

- I can't communicate. - Right.

I'm already stressed.

It's scary, but isn't it something you've dreamed of at least once?

- Yes. - Yeah.

I think if I got to live a new life,

if I lived as Gabriel,

- then Texas? - Texas?

- It suits you! - It does!

- I see it! - Texas BBQ.

Yeah!

Maybe a manager of a BBQ restaurant in Texas.

- It suits you. I see you grilling! - Like that.

Honestly, I'd love to be an oil tycoon.

- Oil tycoon? - Yes, an oil king.

- Mansour. - An oil tycoon?

- Someone like Mansour. - Not bad.

- That's a thought. - Right?

I want to be Mansour.

- Mansour's daughter. - Yeah, that.

Anyway, it's hard for us

- to experience it in life. - Yeah.

Living someone else's life in itself is such an immense opportunity.

- That's right. - Let's meet

two Gabriels who lived strangers' lives.

Come on out!

Goodness!

Bogum! Such a precious guest!

- Hello. - Our precious guest!

My mother's a fan!

It's nice to meet you.

Hello, nice to meet you. It's been so long.

Hey, Davichi!

- It's nice to see you. - Have a seat.

- Davichi Beach. - Yes.

Seeing you two together like this

- is an amazing challenge. - Yeah.

Shall we call it a before-and-after?

- It's 30 years into his future. - Are you cousins?

I'm Bogum in 30 years.

- Oh! - Yes.

- You share a last name. - Yes.

- Okay. - Which family are you from?

Miryang...

Aren't they all Miryang?

We're not the same clan.

You're a different Park?

- That's why you're different. - What a relief!

- Myungsoo. - He knows how to keep his distance.

Why did you agree to do the show, Myungsoo?

On Infinite Challenge with Producer Kim Taeho,

- I had a chance to live a stranger's life. - Yes, it was fun.

- I lived the life of a doctor then. - Oh.

The patient I met then

is living such a healthy life right now.

I heard he became an adult.

- It made me so happy. - Ah.

I heard the concept and I loved it.

I lived the life of a Korean stranger,

so it's time to be global.

Now, the local action in Korea is so small.

- Aren't you a residual star? - What?

- Ride the Korean wave? - No.

Wait a second.

As a local star...

Hey, I'm talking! What are you doing?

- You're drooling. - What?

- Oh! - Ah!

- You wiped his nose? - Is this for your image?

My nose is fine.

His image is fine.

It's always been good.

- I'm good now. - Bogum's so nice.

Let's move along.

Edit this out. It'll only make Bogum look good.

Bogum, after you were asked to do the show,

- Yes. - I heard you were willing.

I was hesitant at first.

To be honest, I thought this would be

- similar to acting. - Sure.

Living someone else's life,

I already do that as an actor now.

But I've never lived a stranger's life in another country before.

That made me want to do it.

Also, Myungsoo said he'd do it too.

- You weren't going to do it? - No.

Also, the important thing is that as I did this,

I thought, "Is this really possible?"

In a country I've never been to...

- You're just dropped there. - Yeah, in a family or a company.

It's a whole other character.

You're living as that person.

- This isn't job shadowing. - No way.

You live their life

and experience their community.

- That's interesting. - Wasn't it short?

- What? - While you were there,

did you have enough time?

I just wanted to live there forever.

- Really? - Really?

- Yes, really. - You liked it.

- I'd abandon Korea - Yeah.

- And live there. - Abandon your family?

Yes. What?

- That much? - Wait...

- You were immersed. - Yes.

Because I had a new family there.

- Really? - Anyway, just watch it.

- Why I had this thought! - Okay.

It's not a spoiler. We're airing now.

- Did you want to live there? See? - I did.

- Really? - That happens.

- I still keep in touch. - It's a strange show.

You had a precious experience.

Me too. We keep in touch through social media.

- With your local family? - No, no.

"Honey, how are you?"

Not with her.

The people I worked with.

- With the young kid I worked with. - Oh.

That's nice.

How did these two Gabriels spend

- their 72 hours? - I'm so nervous.

- First, - I'm so nervous.

Shall we meet Bogum's Gabriel?

My name is...

Gabriel!

I'm so nervous! I'm shaking.

If you weren't living your life as Park Bogum,

what kind of life would you be living?

Mmm...

Oh.

No, I'm fine.

Mmm... If I weren't living my life...

If I weren't living my life...

- I probably wouldn't be an actor. - Mmm.

But I think I'd still...

...be living happily, moment by moment.

Oh.

So...

I think I have a lot of empathy.

When I talk to someone,

I try to put myself in their shoes.

I like watching people too.

I like going on walks.

Just watching the scenery.

It's already fun.

- What do we need? - Yeah, he's handsome.

- What else do we need? - It's so good.

My face is more fun.

ANALYZING

Do you like dividing your time down into units?

Yes, I do.

ITINERARY

When everyone claps and cheers for me,

I feel very overwhelmed.

I wanted to be a pianist as a kid.

I had a lot of dreams.

"Let's do it together."

I think I'm the type who takes the lead.

Bogum finished his interview. The country you will go to

AWAITING OUTPUT

SEOUL / DUBLIN

There's a plane ticket!

- Dublin? Isn't it in Europe? - What is it?

Can I see this now? Really?

- Are you going to the airport? - Are you?

- Yeah. - Just like that?

- I didn't know where I was going. - No one told you.

I had no idea.

Dublin?

Dublin!

FIRST GABRIEL, DUBLIN

It's Dublin.

Have you been there before?

No, never.

Wow.

Right, it's in Ireland.

- Ireland? - Do you know the movie, Once?

Oh!

Yeah, where Once was shot!

- Who is it? - So romantic!

That suits you!

You said you played the piano!

It suits you! I got chills.

I wonder what kind of life it is.

Seriously, what life?

Wow. You're going straight to Dublin.

- You got that in the car? - I bet you were so flustered.

TILT

WHAT'S MAKING BOGUM TILT LIKE THAT?

BUSKING PARADISE

Busking paradise!

- Oh! - Yes, it's music! Ah.

- Like that song in Once. - Is it a singer who busks?

- Bogum's a good singer. - That's right.

- Bogum is a composer too. - Oh.

He makes music too.

- So well-rounded. - No, stop it.

- Look at that. - This is so good.

This is so good. God, it's so fun.

- The human touch! - That's good.

Filled with humanity.

THE CAPITAL OF IRELAND

THE CITY OF ROMANCE AND MUSIC

DUBLIN, IRELAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TERMINAL 1 ARRIVALS

We're really here.

Once you go through the door,

- that's when Gabriel starts. - Is it starting?

They push you into it as soon as you get off the plane.

Is someone picking him up?

Where's Bogum?

It's like a drama show!

So it starts as soon as you leave the airport.

GABRIEL'S LIFE STARTS AFTER LEAVING THESE DOORS

- There's no one coming. - Where do you go?

It was nighttime and it made me more nervous for some reason.

I was in this unfamiliar city.

It felt very strange.

No one was there...

- No one helped? - No?

- I didn't know my name. - What?

- It's so sudden... - How can you go?

In movies,

a spirit suddenly falls from the sky to a different country.

He's looking for something.

He has to get to the city.

Can I help you?

- Uh, yes. - You looking for a taxi or...

I made a reservation.

- He can speak English too! - It's a British accent.

- Are you Mr. Park Bogum? - Yes, that's right.

I have a delivery for you. Can you sign your name here, please?

- A delivery? - What?

He got a delivery!

- There must be a clue in there! - Right.

I have a delivery for you. Can you sign your name here, please?

THE DELIVERY MAN WANTS HIS SIGNATURE

Uh...

"HE SIGNED"

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you very much.

It was exciting. Someone knew my name.

Inside the envelope

was Gabriel's address

and a key.

- Hello? - Hello, hi.

- Where are you going to? - Uh...

Could you please go to...

ON HIS WAY TO THE ADDRESS ON THE MAP

- George's Street? - Okay.

- Right away. - Yep.

So...

How are you?

I'm okay. Almost finished with my shift tonight.

Mmm? Mmm. Could you please tell me your name?

- Nikolai. Yeah. - Nikolai.

- Nice to meet you, Nikolai. - And yours?

- What? - Wait.

- Does he say Gabriel? - Oh, my name is...

What do you do? Self-conflict.

That's right.

I DON'T KNOW MY NAME

Mmm...

Was I supposed to say my name?

My brain wasn't working.

Guess what?

NAME QUIZ

- "Guess what?" - I'm sure he was flustered too.

That was good.

Is it your first time visiting Dublin?

- Yeah! - Yeah?

- Oh? Oh. - Wait. No.

CAN'T HELP BUT LAUGH

- My name is Gabriel! - Okay!

- Gabriel? - Yes.

- He said Gabriel. - I live here.

- He's immersed. - You live here?

- Yeah. - Well, it's nice to meet you.

You said you lived there.

But it felt like I was lying.

Yeah, I'm sure.

You were not used to it yet.

Bogum wasn't adjusted yet.

"What do I say?"

You have to get into character.

You don't just go to a location.

- Yeah. - You're that person.

- That's right. - After that,

- you live their life. - You have to live it.

To be honest, I have to stay in Dublin for just three days.

But at the same time,

I live here.

It's still confusing for me.

But why is it so dark?

It's so dark.

It's raining too.

- It's pretty in the day. - Yeah.

- But it's raining. - I know.

I HAVE TO LIVE AS A STRANGER FOR 3 DAYS

IN A PLACE WHERE NO ONE KNOWS ME

It's like a movie.

- How is he so cool? - Bogum found it well.

But he kind of looks like a student.

Like a foreign exchange student.

11:40 P.M. GABRIEL'S HOUSE

It's 11:40 p.m.?

Wow.

Yeah, you have a house map.

It's all wet.

The house was so pretty.

It looked like one of those decorated houses from movies or shows.

I felt like I was shooting a piece.

It's so pretty.

Europe has a cute charm.

- Over 150 years old? - It's like a castle.

Oh. There's a piano!

I looked at the package sent to me,

and this person lives in a share house.

Five people live there.

- Let's go. - A share house.

- Oh, no. You have to go upstairs. - Up those stairs?

The sound of the stairs.

- Right? - Creak, creak, creak.

His room's on the third floor.

- The top floor? - Yes.

HE ARRIVES AT HIS ROOM ON THE THIRD FLOOR

TIP TOE

- It's the room! - Oh!

It's so clean.

- It's too clean. - There's not much stuff.

- And not a lot of clothes. - Very neat.

It's so neat and minimal.

- Look out the window. - So pretty!

It's so pretty!

Isn't that so romantic?

Goodness!

Celebrities will wait in line for this.

- It's so cool! - It has to be!

INTO GABRIEL'S LIFE

Excuse me.

Hmm.

- You're in a stranger's room. - Yeah.

What's that? I can see sheet music!

- Sheet music! - This is where

you should find your job.

Isn't that a music book? The thick one.

When you act living someone else's life as an actor,

the story's already fixed.

But this is real.

I don't know who this person is or how they've lived.

Yeah, you need to find a clue now.

My name is...

What is it?

He has a lot of neckties. Is he a white-collar worker?

- No, it's music. - There.

- Look at the notes. - It's music. A harmonica.

There's a harmonica.

Guitar? Does he play the guitar? Hmm...

What?

- There's a guitar pick. - Oh!

He must be a busking performer.

Pop music.

ENTER SHEET MUSIC

- Sheet music? - Oh.

Is he a composer?

No one knows, right?

- No. - We don't know. A composer?

No one knows, right?

- No. - We don't know.

Did you think we were acting?

- I thought you all knew. You don't? - No.

We're not Gabriel.

- Come on. - There's a baton.

- Wait. - They don't know, right?

Why? Are we getting it right?

What? Did we?

No.

It's not that.

Anyone can tell he's a musician.

There's a baton. It's obvious.

That means it's Gum Nanse.

The conductor Gum Nanse? In Ireland?

He comes back and forth.

His vacation home?

Excuse me.

LOOKING FOR HIS OTHER SELF

What?

Business cards, right?

"The Ram, Ramparts?"

"The male voice chamber choir?"

What?

A choir?

I wondered who he was.

But when I saw the baton,

I thought it might be a conductor.

Or a musician? But then I saw sheet music.

A singer?

But then I saw the business cards.

He's in a choir.

A choir!

On the sheet music, the tenor, alto, and base parts

are all split up.

I think he leads them,

the one who sings the melody alone.

That's the feeling I got. It was highlighted.

HIGHLIGHTER MARKS

So, it must be someone who sings well.

Or a solo singer who leads them?

- He's so confused. - He's having a meltdown.

- So confused. - He's yanking at his hair.

ONE CONFUSING NIGHT

- You still don't know yet. - You have to live it now.

I know!

Did he get something? He got a text.

- You're using Gabriel's phone! - Yeah.

DISCOVERS PHONE ON DESK

- The phone too? - That's right.

- What? - What?

- Guessing based on pictures! - His friends.

What's that?

Banana?

TRACES OF GABRIEL ON HIS PHONE

WHAT WAS THE NOTIFICATION FROM EARLIER?

Wait. Is it a schedule?

Is it a scheduled message?

- A schedule? - It's scheduled.

- It's a to-do list. - My head hurts.

- He has so much to do! - So busy.

- His MBTI must be "J." - Hold on.

This check list...

There are two lists here.

"Every morning."

That's everything Bogum has to do.

Bogum, I bet this was exhausting for you.

I have to eat 20 almonds.

I have to eat an avocado and a banana.

Then I have to shower.

I think his MBTI is "J."

- I'm sure of it. - He's so organized.

SLIDE

- It's money! - Whoa!

The money was so well-organized.

GABRIEL IS A TOTAL "J"

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

DISCOVERS ACCOUNT INFORMATION

"Ruaidhri..."

"Ru..."

"Ruaidhri..."

You still don't know your name.

- No. - How will you sleep?

POSTCARD RECIPIENT

You must've found it now.

"Ru..."

"Ru..."

- The name was so hard. - Your own name.

- It's hard to pronounce. - It's hard.

NOTHING'S EASY...

"Ruaidhri?"

- Ruaidhri. - Ruaidhri.

You can get a full episode from this.

What? What did he say?

- "You can get a full episode from this." - He can.

- Why are you so nervous? - No.

- This is fun. - It's so good.

We can get 12 episodes from Bogum's 72 hours.

Really?

Does Bogum do all 14 episodes?

This is so funny.

If you can get an hour from your room...

Ah.

Ruaidhri.

My name is Ruaidhri O Dalaigh.

1:10 AM, THE LONG SEARCH FOR HIS OTHER SELF IS OVER

BOGUM / RUAIDHRI PREPARES TO SLEEP

Not to affect his life in a bad way, I'll try my best for three days.

Still, I could do about 50%, right?

I hope I can do 50%.

Ruaidhri's life.

Today is day one.

My name is Ruaidhri.

- Wow! - Whoa!

It's starting!

Wow, Northern Europe is nice!

- That house. - It's so nice.

The buildings are nice!

- So refreshing. - It has to be sunny!

- Ireland is nice! - It's got charm.

Look at the red door.

Bogum couldn't sleep at all.

THE VIEW OUTSIDE CHANGED OVERNIGHT

SOMETHING CAPTURES HIS ATTENTION AT THE DESK

- You have to eat a banana! - Yeah, the routine!

DAILY CHECK LIST

Banana, 250 ml of milk.

Goodness.

- Oh, coffee. - Does it have to be 250 ml?

EAT AN AVOCADO AND A BANANA

TEA INSTEAD OF COFFEE, DRINK 250 ML

Wow!

He's an almond maniac.

I guess he really eats like that.

He eats 20 almonds? That many almonds...

He must have a great body.

How he eats protein. He must work out.

Almonds must be good in the morning.

Yes.

LISTEN TO MUSIC

Since I was in Dublin, I put on Falling Slowly

and ate a banana and 20 almonds for breakfast.

♪ I don't know you... ♪

LIVING RUAIDHRI'S MORNING

- But he looks so natural. - It suits him so well.

What was his name? Rudri? Rudei?

- Idehuri? - Rudri?

- Ruaidhri! - Ruaidhri!

Ruaidhri's routine

- is very sentimental. - Yeah!

- Right? - Also, he eats small portions.

- Yeah, small amounts. - Small portions.

I don't normally drink coffee.

So I had tea.

TEA OVER COFFEE FOR A SENTIMENTAL MORNING

When do you leave the room?

We've seen an hour of this!

Park Bogum!

MYUNGSOO WANTS AIR TIME...

Look! A shared kitchen.

SHARED KITCHEN

LOOKING ALL AROUND THE SHARED KITCHEN

I was hungry, but...

I didn't know which was mine.

- True. It might not be yours. - You're right.

Can I eat one?

I'll just have one egg.

I don't know whose it is.

So I feel a little guilty.

- You were hungry. - I was so hungry.

BUT IT'S LACKING SOMETHING

DISCOVERS SOMEONE'S BREAD

You're eating that bread.

I ate the tail end of the bread.

The piece no one would eat.

Just a slice of butter.

You took the butter too.

- You're getting bolder. - You're using it all.

You're in sync now.

SATISFIED BREAKFAST

Seeing you eat is fun too.

- That ASMR's nice. - You're cute when you eat, Bogum.

Turn up the volume.

To be honest,

how can you only eat a banana and almonds for breakfast?

RUAIDHRI'S DIFFICULT DIET

It's hard.

He's in the room again!

I went through a lot!

- For now... - Kim Taeho, come out here!

Myungsoo, when it comes

- to Gabriel... - He doesn't leave the room!

- I'm going to leave now. - Yes, he is.

Myungsoo must've spent a lot of time outdoors.

- I was outside 99% of the time! - I see.

FINALLY GETS READY TO GO OUT

What's hard is that this isn't my money.

Can I spend it?

Of course, you do.

- How will you get around? - Yeah.

You don't have money either!

He must be keeping a ledger.

Yeah, he should record it.

PUTS THE MONEY FOR TODAY IN THE WALLET

He's leaving now.

9:00 A.M. LEAVES THE HOUSE

When I left this morning, the weather was nice and warm.

There were so many people,

but no one looked at me.

Everyone was going on their way.

So I suddenly got so excited.

Oh, sorry.

"Sorry." He just bumped into someone!

I had a skip in my step.

Pub?

That's an online streaming of the streets.

- Wow. - Whoa!

- It's in real-time? - That's the same place!

- Wow, so interesting. - He found himself!

- You found yourself in the live stream. - Yes.

It was interesting.

You can't call it a vacation,

but it felt like a vacation into another life for me.

So it was fun.

When does he work?

He's sightseeing after staying in his room.

- He'll work soon. - Really?

On my way back home,

I thought it'd be nice to buy fruit. I went to a big grocery store.

RUAIDHRI IN FRONT OF THE FRUIT CORNER

Four oranges were four euros.

So I thought the prices were similar to those in Korea.

I read in a book that the fruit would be cheaper.

Please select your payment method.

BUYS EXPENSIVE ORANGES

On my way home after that,

there was an outdoor market!

But there...

- Was it cheap? - Yeah.

Oh.

Compared to the store,

- it must be cheaper. - Yeah!

No way.

These oranges were two euros for ten.

Wow, that's a huge difference!

Four for four euros.

- Ten for two euros. - Goodness.

- That's a huge difference. - That's big.

That's too big a difference. So...

DID HE JUST GET RIPPED OFF?

Madame, is this ten for two euros?

I thought to myself,

"This isn't my money."

"This price is logical to me."

- He's getting a refund. - Yes, to save money.

What? No way.

Of course. It's not his money.

Is he really going to get a refund?

Are you getting a refund?

BACK AT THE STORE WITH THE ORANGES

I came back to the store.

I'm not that fluent in English,

and I was worried I wouldn't get a refund.

Uh, I'd like a refund, please.

SO VERY POLITE

I was praying on the inside.

I was hoping for a refund.

Did you leave the shop?

IT WOULDN'T BE THAT EASY

- When did you buy it? - A few minutes ago.

It's not easy.

Five minutes ago. Probably. Yeah.

Did you not get one?

- He got it. - He did!

- Ruaidhri! - He's in a good mood.

He did it.

RETURNS TO THE OUTDOOR MARKET

Wow, it's so cheap.

BUYS 10 ORANGES FOR CHEAP

Thank you!

It's still unbelievable to me.

Ten oranges for two euros.

Four oranges for four euros.

Ten for two euros.

It's just...

I was so excited about this.

SUPER EXCITED...

- They must be eating together. - Ten for two euros.

He's bragging to everyone!

It was my happiest moment today.

- Oranges... - Three hundred won is cheap.

Again with the oranges.

- I was so happy. - Orange ambassador.

Where will we visit next?

I mean...

- Is this a vacation? - I know!

Nothing's been shown.

- Does he not work? - It's so relaxing.

Why doesn't he work? This is a vacation!

He should meet some friends and be Gabriel.

No, let me explain.

I can see why Myungsoo is so upset.

They put me straight to work!

- No, Ruaidhri... - Yeah?

He had times listed on his itinerary.

So you have to move according to that?

The time before then was the time I could use.

So, Ruaidhri is kind of a flexible person.

- He must have a good youth policy. - Mmm.

I don't know who he is or how he lived.

So...

I'm very confused.

His friends Cuan and Jebb...

- What? - He has plans?

I'll just say I have amnesia.

I'll ask them, "Who am I?"

I think it'll be fun.

So far, I haven't really felt like I was living Ruaidhri's life.

The boundaries have been vague.

Either way, I've logged into someone's life.

I haven't met anyone yet.

I can't even pronounce my name.

I don't know how old I am.

But I'm meeting Cuan and Jebb.

I can't wait to see what happens.

CAN'T WAIT TO MEET FRIENDS

He'll know the age once he meet the friends.

That's true.

IS IT HERE?

TODAY'S SCHEDULE, 3:30 P.M. MEET FRIENDS AT CAFE

- I was so nervous then. - I bet you were.

- Are they them? - You're so nervous.

They're not there yet?

Look at that.

- The friends might not recognize you. - He's nervous.

- Yeah. - He's fidgeting.

WAITING FOR STRANGERS IN AN UNFAMILIAR PLACE

It's Cuan.

They're really talking like friends.

You must be so nervous.

I'm nervous. What do I do?

They were strangers to me.

STRANGERS... BUT BEST FRIENDS

I had to pretend we'd been friends for years when I saw them.

It was awkward, but I shouldn't let it show.

The fact that they're close is a burden.

- It's my first time. - Yeah.

What do you do?

- Where's our guy? - What?

He's wearing a beige hat.

- A baby? - The hat!

Put your hat on!

- Put your hat on! - Yeah!

- Put your beige hat on! - Yeah!

Put your hat on. Must be the friends.

- They're young! - There are a lot!

FINALLY MEETING MY UNFAMILIAR FRIENDS

- I think they recognize him. - It's their first time.

Hey, my friends. Hi!

I'm good.

Oh!

Oh, no!

You were flustered!

You were so surprised!

- You were happy to see them. - You have to be close!

But you're not close at all.

You were not sure how to respond.

You were flustered for like half a second.

- Yeah. - I was flustered, but happy.

You can see it in his face!

I got chills too.

I could never do that.

How did it feel when they recognized you?

My mind went blank.

I just logged in.

- "I'm Ruaidhri." - That's right.

- "They're my friends." - It's his advantage.

- Since he's an actor? - Yeah.

- It just happens. - It does?

I'm not an actor.

- But it works. - Really?

I don't know why, but it does.

- So interesting. - It works.

Celebrities, don't worry and call us.

Hey, my friends. Hi!

- Good to see you. - It's a great day.

He greets strangers so happily.

They're best friends.

Thank you so much.

CAN YOU CLAP FOR US?

- A clap? - First time seeing this?

Yeah.

CLAP CLAP

Just be like...

Brian, you do the clap.

RUAIDHRI'S FRIENDS GREET CHEERFULLY

Start with me?

Um, I'm Carl.

- I work as a software developer. - Ah.

- He's a developer. - I'm Brian.

My job is similar. It's software testing.

I'm Phil.

Also known as Jebb in the choir.

I'm Cuan. Uh, I'm 19.

Uh, I'm a law student.

- And a good man. And a better friend. - Thanks, Jebb.

THESE ARE RUAIDHRI'S FRIENDS

So these are Ruaidhri's best friends.

- Yeah. - Good to see you.

THE FRIENDS FINALLY MEET

Thank you so much.

Oh, on the roads.

- Oh, my God. - How are you?

How's your morning been? I'm good.

- Did you guys have lunch? - Um, no.

THEY'RE NOT THAT AWKWARD

No one was nervous. No one was flustered.

- But the friends are so natural. - So natural!

- You're right. - Is this Surprise?

Are they reenactors?

- Right? - Reenactors.

I think I saw them on Surprise.

It's so natural.

I heard Ruaidhri explained this well to his friends in advance.

Ah.

- So... - That's why.

- Yeah, I heard he told them. - Ah.

No one was nervous or flustered.

Was I too obvious?

- Yeah. - A little.

- Anyone would be nervous. - I didn't know what to say.

"What do I do?" That's how I felt.

Actually, I've forgotten my memory.

So could you please tell me your names and introduce yourselves?

- I'm Jebb. That's me. - Jebb?

Okay, Jebb.

- Brian. Yeah. - Brian.

- Cuan. - Cuan.

- I'm Carl. - Carl.

Nice to see you, Carl.

It's good to see you again. But you look different.

- Did you get a haircut? - Yeah.

- His hair must've been long. - I bet.

"Did you get a haircut? Did you dye it?"

- What's your secret? - Oh, my God.

- It's good to see you again! - It's great to have you.

TIME TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ME

So we met in the choir?

- Choir. Yeah. - Right?

- Oh... - Basically.

Our choir's name is...

Pampal...

- Pampra... - Ah...

The friends need to tell him.

- Pampas? - Yes.

- It's Pampas? - Yeah.

- Yeah. - That's right.

I'D LIKE TO THANK MY MEMORY

It was The Ramparts.

THE CHOIR'S NAME IS THE RAMPARTS

I was so worried, you know?

So, I'm a member of a choir. Is that right? I... I don't know.

- You might be. - I might be?

Interesting.

- Or I'm good at conducting? - Oh?

CURIOSITY 2 Q. AM I A CONDUCTOR?

- Your memory's coming back. - Really?

You're asking what your role is.

GATHERING MEMORY FRAGMENTS

- To regain your memories. - It must be fun.

They're teasing him.

Am I the leader of the choir?

- Yes, you are! - Wow!

- Really? - Yeah.

- Leader of a choir? - Then...

Isn't that such a hard role?

You're right. I have to conduct.

You have to divide the parts.

- But you have no knowledge. - Yeah.

What do you do?

I didn't want to believe that I had to lead a group.

- It was too much. - Yes.

I don't have that much musical knowledge.

It's not that great.

Oh, my...

- What do I do? - What do you do?

So, how old am I?

CURIOSITY 3 Q. HOW OLD AM I?

- You tell me. - Do you know what year it is?

Yes, I... I've forgotten.

HIS POOR HAIR DID NOTHING WRONG TO BE PULLED OUT LIKE THAT

I'll say.

Am I older than you?

We're about the same age.

Really? Same age? Really?

Seriously?

THE FRIENDS ARE ENJOYING THIS

I think you're a little bit older than me. A little bit older.

Please help... Please help me.

- I'm 19. - Oh, 19? Oh, my God.

- I'm older than you, right? - Yeah.

Cuan's 19.

- How about you, Jebb? - I'm 25.

- Twenty-five? - Twenty-five.

Twenty-five. So, Carl, how old are you?

- I'm 28. Yeah. - Twenty-eight?

Brian, how... How about you?

You look 30.

- Thirty? No, go again. - Yeah.

- I'm 40... Yeah. - You're 40?

- Really? Oh, my God! - Yeah.

Sorry. I was going to say 42. It's 43.

- Forty... Forty-three? - Yeah.

And you're older than me.

- Really? - Just a little.

- He's older? - What?

- What? - But then, he is the leader.

- Oh, my God. - Only a little.

RUAIDHRI IS CURRENTLY OLDER THAN 43

- But your skin looks great. - Thank you.

FORCED LAUGH

Should he change his voice?

They're enjoying this. That's what's fun.

CURIOSITY 4 Q. HOW DO I PRONOUNCE MY NAME?

- What's the pronunciation? - Yeah.

This is a pretty unbelievable story.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW MY NAME

Ruaidhri?

That's... That's pretty close!

It's much simpler than it looks.

Rudri?

Rodri?

RUAIDHRI'S NAME

Please help me!

Rory!

- Rory. - Yeah.

Okay, easy.

I found my name.

My name is Ruaidhri.

So it's pronounced like "Rory."

- I see. - What was so amazing is,

they tried to see me as Ruaidhri harder than I did.

- Yeah. That's right. - That was fun.

- Oh. - You met your friends on your first day.

You learned your name, occupation, and age.

You know people now.

- Yeah. - In Dublin.

So where are we going?

We're going to go look for somewhere to perform.

- What? - Busking!

- It's busking. - In two days.

- They're performing in two days? - Really?

SPEECHLESS

Already?

- So you have to lead? - Seriously?

I would have a meltdown.

We have a performance in two days?

Yeah.

HE'S THEIR LEADER... AND NOW THERE'S A PERFORMANCE

St. Patrick's Day's soon.

The choir isn't performing, is it?

Ah.

There's a performance.

What if it's performing?

It's already scheduled.

- Look. - Goodness.

- You're performing that day? - It's so big!

St. Patrick's Day?

HELD EVERY MARCH 17 IN IRELAND A FESTIVAL TO HONOR SAINT PATRICK

No, I couldn't do it.

Wow. I could never do it.

A performance in two days?

THE RAMPARTS PERFORM FOR THE FESTIVAL IN TWO DAYS

What are we singing?

- What are we going to sing? - Yeah.

You're the one who's going to tell us what to sing.

- Oh! - You know...

Oh, my God.

THE WEIGHT OF A LEADER

You are familiar with Once, perhaps?

- Do you know Falling Slowly? That song? - Falling Slowly?

Absolutely. I know it.

This is it. This could be...

IS THIS WHERE WE PERFORM?

You perform outside?

This is where you'll perform?

It's a choir, but they busk.

LUKE KELLY STATUE SQUARE

The original founder of the choir.

Luke Kelly.

Yeah, he was a great famous Dublin musician.

- So how many people are in our choir? - Ooh.

- Many, and we have extra numbers. - We have 11 basses.

Eleven people.

- Just the basses. - So 11 basses.

We don't need a piano or a guitar,

we only just sing with our voices, right?

It's all acapella.

Oh, my God. How are you supposed to conduct acapella?

How do you decide the parts in acapella?

- You do it? - In two days?

Honestly, this is like you're being hit in the head with a hammer.

Right? You just got there.

The hits just keep coming.

It's getting worse.

I know you are Park Bogum and the symbol of kindness, but this is...

Myungsoo, what do you think? You hated that Bogum was

- having fun. - Yes.

- It's been revealed. - Serves him right!

He's working now.

- Do you feel better now? - Yes, I do.

We finally get to see him suffering.

- He has to busk too. - That's right.

I bet you're worried.

- I'd want to run away. - And I was worried about this.

For singers like you guys,

performing in front of so many people like this

isn't a difficult thing.

- You're right. - But this isn't acting.

- I had to do this performance. - It's live.

You have two days left in 72 hours.

They're asking for too much.

- So much pressure. - However, was Bogum able to...

Was Ruaidhri able to pull it off?

- Ruaidhri! - Our Ruaidhri!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

LAUGHS OF WORRY

I never thought I'd ever have to busk in my life.

Shall I cancel it?

Still, it was left to me. I don't want to cause any inconvenience

under Ruaidhri's name.

I want to do my best.

THE RAMPARTS CHOIR WILL PERFORM HERE IN TWO DAYS

- Look at all the people! - What is this?

- Wow! - Wow!

What just happened?

LEADER RUAIDHRI'S FIRST BUSKING PERFORMANCE COMING SOON

FIRST, LET'S EAT

I bet he's hungry.

You're a vegetarian.

- Vegetarian? - A vegan?

I'm a vegetarian?

- Oh, you're on a diet this week. - Yeah, you're on a diet.

No beef, no pork.

Oh, no, no, that was a joke.

- They were kidding. - They got me!

I saw my to-do list.

I usually... I always just eat

a banana.

That's true.

Twenty pieces of almonds

and an avocado.

- It's every morning. - That sounds about right.

- That's actually true. - That sounds correct.

But today, I'm going to eat more beef.

In fairness, you do eat a lot of beef.

As you guys know, I have a to-do list.

Tomorrow, I have to meet my parents.

- What? - Parents?

That's so nerve-racking.

- His mom? - You have to meet the parents?

People don't see their actual parents. You have to meet someone else's?

Parents? That's rough. How will he do that?

- His parents will say... - "Hi, Ruaidhri!"

"My love, Ruaidhri!"

"Hi, Ruaidhri!" That's hard.

"Mom! Dad!"

Oh, you look so well!

RUAIDHRI GOES TO SEE HIS PARENTS THE NEXT DAY

See how tall and how handsome.

Have you ever met my parents?

- I have. They come see all of your gigs. - Really?

Oh.

We performed for your dad's birthday when he was 90.

Oh, yeah.

Me, you, Sean, and Ruaidhri.

Thank you for coming.

I'm so nervous.

What kind of person is Ruaidhri?

- Oh, are you? - He's very thoughtful.

- One of the best. - You are.

Good with people.

Really good with people.

- You inspire the rest of us. - You are inspiring.

You make the rest of us more energetic.

No matter how long and tiring the day is,

you get us pumped through it.

That's great.

- So I'm the leader of our choir? - Yeah.

So I can do everything, playing, singing, and conducting?

Very passionate about it.

- We have a practice? - Yeah.

- Are we going together? - Yes.

Are you looking forward to St. Patrick's Day?

Uh, yeah, I'm looking forward to it, but...

MORE NERVOUS THAN EXCITED

- It'll be fun. - How reliable.

The friends are so nice.

Yeah, so reliable.

RELIABLE FRIENDS

I think their personalities really sync well.

- It's not awkward sitting there like that. - Right.

Here's the kimchi dumpling.

THE FIRST MEAL WITH FRIENDS

Take a picture first?

TAKING A PICTURE FIRST

A PICTURE WITH THE FAMILIAR YET UNFAMILIAR RUAIDHRI

- Enjoy your meal. - Enjoy, enjoy.

That's delicious.

YUM

Excuse me.

NOM

EVERYTHING TASTES GOOD AFTER EATING ONLY ALMONDS

HAPPY

How was your morning?

Mmm... I just ate

a banana and 20 almonds.

I looked around this place.

- It's beautiful. - The oranges!

You see Dublin through new eyes.

Oranges.

- Three hundred won. - It was a good time for me.

- I bought some... - He's telling them?

- Oranges. - Yes!

- There it is! - Time to brag!

LET'S TELL THE ORANGE STORY

I... I found oranges.

Four for four euros.

- Four oranges for four euros? - Four for four euros.

- That's not too bad. - Not too bad.

- That's too much for an orange. - Seems a lot.

After I came out of the mart,

I found a fruit market.

Right, right.

At that place, it was 10 oranges for two euros.

That sounds a bit more right. Yeah.

So I went back to the mart.

I don't think they're interested.

- They're comfortable. - Familiar.

I got a refund and just bought it again.

They should've reacted more with the refund.

FINISHING THE ORANGE STORY QUICKLY

Is the practice place far from here?

Less than a five-minute walk. Two, three-minute walk.

Right around the corner.

So, are you nervous?

Just a little bit. But I don't know.

- We're going to do it. - Yeah.

You've been doing this for years. It'll come back.

- That's right. - Yeah.

How frustrating.

He'll suffer so much.

The sun is setting.

IT'S NIGHTFALL IN DUBLIN

There's no time to feel the city except for the freedom earlier.

You're right.

Ah, The Ramparts.

SOUNDS OF MUSIC FROM INSIDE

He must be meeting the members now.

MEETING THE CHOIR FOR THE FIRST TIME

I don't remember anything. I don't remember that moment.

I could hear nothing.

I swear. I couldn't hear anything.

- Oh, no. How can you go in there? - I would just leave.

- I couldn't do it. - What?

I think my stomach hurts.

- It was a feeling I had never felt before. - Mmm.

They were strangers, but I'd known them for a long time as well.

That's right.

- So much of that. - Yeah.

- They're comfortable with me. - Yes.

- Yeah. - I must be comfortable too.

- Yeah. Exactly. - But I feel awkward.

Yeah, but I'm awkward.

IT'S TIME TO MEET THEM NOW

- Can I come in? - You can come on in, I think.

Phew.

MUSTERS THE COURAGE

HIS FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE RAMPARTS

I guess here he is.

This is our Ruaidhri.

- Wow! - Wow!

So cool!

THE RAMPARTS MEET THEIR LEADER

That's so cool!

Hi, everyone!

They were surrounding me.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Ruaidhri!" Then I walked inside proudly.

He shouted it.

I think it'll take you 72 hours to memorize their names.

I'm Ruaidhri.

Hi, Ruaidhri.

Hi.

AN UNBELIEVABLE SIGHT

Oh, my goodness. Actually, I'm so happy to see you all.

THE CHOIR LED BY RUAIDHRI IS...

They were founded in 2016.

Wow! So cool!

This is where they'll perform later.

They compete too.

DUBLIN'S REPRESENTATIVE CHOIR

APPEARED IN CONTESTS TO SHOWCASE THEIR SKILLS

THEIR VOICES CREATE THE STAGE WHEREVER THEY GO

DUBLIN'S AMATEUR CHOIR THE RAMPARTS

THIS PERSON IS THEIR LEADER

Actually, just have a seat.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

STILL SO EMBARRASSED

That's so cool. I couldn't do that.

He's already rolled up his sleeves.

- "I'm your leader." - "I'm your leader."

That's good.

Could you please introduce yourselves?

LOOKING FOR SOMEONE...

- Please. - I'm Jebb.

CHOOSES A FAMILIAR FACE, JEBB

I'm the leader of the baritones.

JEBB'S A PART LEADER?

I'm Brian. Head baritone.

I'm Thomas. Also, head baritone.

I'm... I'm Yani. I'm the best baritone.

- Cuan. - John.

- David. - Carl.

- Kevin. - Dillon.

THERE ARE TWO RUAIDHRI'S IN THE RAMPARTS

- There's two of us. - Yeah.

- The same name? - Ruaidhri?

- He looks like Mark Zuckerberg! - Yeah, he does!

- Doesn't he? - Yeah, he does.

He looks like Mark Zuckerberg.

Oh, yeah. It's nice to see you.

- There's two of us. - Yeah.

- I'm Cillian. - I'm Colm.

- I'm Aaron. - Liam.

- I'm Jared. - Owen.

ALL 26 MEMBERS INTRODUCED

Thank you. Thank you.

Now, name us back again.

Just a second. Jebb. Brian.

ATTEMPTS TO RECALL NAMES

- Thomas. - Thomas.

- Yani. - Yani...

CONFIDENTLY NAMES TWO

- I have to write it down. - So cool.

- You should write it down. - So cool.

THEY REPEAT THEIR NAMES

SUCH A KIND CHOIR

And Owen.

- Okay, thank you. Oh, and... - Whoo-hoo!

So Ruaidhri only conducts in front of you guys?

Basically, yeah.

Oh, my God!

CHOIR LEADER ROLE 1. CONDUCT

You sing as well.

That's what you do every week, mate.

I sing too?

CHOIR LEADER ROLE 2. SING

What do you want to sing?

The song you would like to sing. What song would you like to sing?

You're the director. You choose.

Really? Oh.

CHOIR LEADER ROLE 3. SONG SELECTION

- So much pressure. - No.

Let's pick together. Just for today.

"What song are we good at again?"

- You could've asked. - Yeah.

Ruaidhri, you know this.

Ruaidhri, you know this.

Yeah, I'm Ruaidhri.

I'm Ruaidhri.

Uh...

No...

It's so intimidating. That silence.

Before we sing,

how can I focus on just the notes?

The same as usual, Ruaidhri.

There's a pitch pipe there, Ruaidhri.

What is that?

I forgot everything, so...

Yeah, it's okay.

DISCOVERS A NOTE

DISCOVERS A NOTE THAT SAYS THE FIRST NOTE OF EACH SONG

AN ITEM WITH NOTES ON IT

I see.

It plays the note so they can sing the pitch correctly.

IT HELPS START THE SONG

CHOIR LEADER'S SYMBOL, A PITCH PIPE

- Okay, okay! - So when I play that note,

everyone hums to the sound.

They hum to that note... and start the song.

ONCE THE LEADER MAKES THE PITCH

Ah.

THE CHOIR MEMBERS HIT THE FIRST NOTE

PITCH PIPE = THE START OF CHORUS

Okay!

We're going to start with Only You first.

Is that okay?

- Yeah. - Great.

You're the boss, so you can do whatever you want.

- Mmm. - You're the boss.

I didn't want to seem nervous.

But I had so many thoughts.

I'm the leader of The Ramparts, such a big choir,

and if I stand there quietly,

I'd be such a nuisance.

I thought, "I can't be timid about this."

We didn't want to cause harm.

- That was our biggest worry. - Okay, shall we?

Only You.

RUAIDHRI'S FIRST SONG <Only You>

THE MEMBERS SEEM FAMILIAR WITH THE SONG AND START SINGING

This song!

Please be quiet.

They're so cool!

THEIR VOICES BUILD HARMONY

THE LEADER TRIES TO ADD A NOTE

Oh!

ACAPELLA IS SUNG WITH DIFFERENT SOUNDS

Are you reading sheet music?

Yeah.

A LEADER SEEING SHEET MUSIC FOR THE FIRST TIME

HELP ME

♪ All I need for another day ♪

♪ And all I ever knew ♪

They enjoy the music.

- That's nice. - Beautiful.

- It's therapeutic. - So cool.

It can't be done in a year or two. They're good.

- Such harmony. - It's like a show.

Ruaidhri's here.

- This is your solo part. - You have a solo?

Solo?

- What do you do? - No way!

You're already nervous and now a solo?

RUAIDHRI TELLS HIM ABOUT HIS SOLO PART

♪ AND ALL I EVER KNEW? ♪

♪ ONLY YOU ♪

RUAIDHRI STUMBLES BUT KEEPS GOING

THE FIRST SONG ENDS SOMEHOW

What a great club, right?

They sure are skilled.

You shouldn't just look at your phone. You should join clubs like that.

- Bogum? - That'd be so nice.

You heard the song.

You heard a beautiful song that this team had practiced.

What did you think about their skills?

I was able to guess how good they were.

You heard the song and thought, "They're good. I think I can do this."

- Yeah. I almost wanted to join them. - Right?

- I thought that. - You were inspired.

I think when you feel strongly that you have to do something,

- you just do it. - Yeah.

HE LOOKS AT THE SHEET MUSIC AGAIN

Some of the words were missed in the second verse.

You missed your verse there at the second verse.

It was your solo.

- Oh. - You always sing that solo.

I didn't know the lyrics.

On top of that, I also had a solo part.

I thought, "Can I do it? Can I pull it off?"

Having a solo part means the singer is really good.

DREARY

- Ruaidhri is such a busy person. - I know.

This is the second line.

Your long-haired friend helps a lot.

CHECKS HIS SOLO PART WITH JEBB

- Is it my part? Usually? - Usually, yeah.

- It's usually you. - It's only the second part, right?

- Can we do it again? Or... - Yeah, yeah. Of course.

Do we have someone who wants to volunteer to help him out on the solo bit?

Ruaidhri, you should go.

- Sing it together! - Yeah, I can sing it with you.

RUAIDHRI TO HELP RUAIDHRI

- I can sing it with you. - Thank you, Ruaidhri.

ENTERS THE SOLO PART WITH RUAIDHRI

You're good!

The Ruaidhri that's helping me does musicals in Ireland too.

He's an actor! Little Ruaidhri.

Yeah, Little Ruaidhri.

♪ All I needed was the love you gave ♪

HE LOCKS EYES WITH THE MEMBERS AND JOINS IN HARMONY

♪ And all I ever knew ♪

HE'S GETTING USED TO IT ALREADY

Singing this song with The Ramparts

was our first meeting and hello.

It was a way for us to introduce one another.

Also, we opened our hearts,

and it really felt like we were friends.

You did it.

One is over.

RUAIDHRI FINISHES HIS FIRST SOLO PERFORMANCE

I bet that was so embarrassing and awkward.

My mouth was so dry.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

- And Ruaidhri? - Yeah?

How has your voice improved so much in only a week's time?

It got much deeper.

Oh, my God. So...

THEIR ENCOURAGMENT RELAXES HIM

I love this.

So, the next song is Moondance.

Do you have any feedback for us? Any criticism?

- Well, what do we need to work on? - Mmm...

I thought I had a good listening ear.

I learned to read scores and studied them a lot in the military.

I thought I had some sense in music.

They wanted feedback.

So I tried to listen and give it.

WHAT TYPE OF FEEDBACK WILL RUAIDHRI GIVE WITH HIS GOOD LISTENING EAR?

One, two, three, four...

SINCE THE MEMBERS WANT FEEDBACK,

LEADER RUAIDHRI IS FOCUSED ON LISTENING

A SONG THAT REMINDS YOU OF A LOVER DANCING UNDER THE MOONLIGHT

They're too skilled for this to be a hobby.

- I know. - I was surprised too.

- They're passed being amateurs. - They're not amateurs.

- Bogum, did you study sheet music? - Yes?

Can you read scores?

We had a musical as the graduation performance in college.

- Ah... - I was the music director for that.

- I see. - No wonder.

You were a director?

All the students had different parts.

I always thought I had a good ear for music.

This part should be used this way, and this should be edited this way.

I remember writing it down.

♪ And I know now the time is just right ♪

♪ And straight into my arms... ♪

You're being active now.

- Wow! - Impressive!

I guess you really hear the song now.

You're so cool!

WHAT WILL THE LEADER'S FEEDBACK BE?

THE HARMONIOUS <Moondance>

I love it. I love it.

WHAT TYPE OF FEEDBACK WILL THE LEADER GIVE?

Yes, it was really good, but...

- I just want more... - What?

- More jazzy? Yeah, jazzy. - Jazzy?

So how about this?

♪ My love ♪

Not just straight.

♪ My love ♪

That detail!

I was so surprised!

So you want us to scoop it?

Yeah, just groove it.

RUAIDHRI'S ARRANGEMENT POINT 1

My luh - huv AND GROOVE IT

I like that.

I think that's good feedback.

Also, I feel the "ba" is the same.

Ba ba ba ba IS REPEATED FOUR TIMES

Since the song's long, they need the detail.

- It's long. - It could be boring.

I think there are too many "bas."

So... one ba is...

Ba, ba, ba.

Two bas... Ba, ba, ba!

Three bas... Ba, ba, ba! More crescendo. Is that okay?

It gets louder.

That's incredible.

That's incredible.

No, stop it.

- Really. - No, stop it.

It's amazing you're giving real feedback.

- He said he had a good ear. - Yeah.

- Seriously. - Bogum, how many albums do you have?

None.

I can see why you were the music director.

- You're so good. - No, you flatter me.

I wanted to do well for Ruaidhri.

And I think the members liked your feedback.

- Yeah. - Right?

They're agreeing.

What if he gives strange feedback in his Ruaidhri suit?

- Right? "How dare he..." - If he does that,

- "What's with him?" - they could be like, "What?"

They could reject the feedback.

"No, we'll stick to our style."

But they accepted it and acknowledged it.

This is the nicest Ruaidhri's ever been.

It's a song about dancing on the moon.

I thought it could sound a little bit more groovy.

I crossed the line a little.

You're kind of giving Kolleen Park vibes there.

- You're both Park. - Same last name.

- You're both Park! - The same!

Kind of like Kolleen Park.

ANTICIPATED REVISED VERSION

This part!

THE ORDINARY "MY LOVE"

THE RICHER "MY-LUH-HUV"

SO SATISFIED

It was incredible.

The triplets are really hard.

But they followed the beats so well.

They held up their parts so well.

It was admirable.

Ba ba ba ENTERING THE SECOND REVISED PART

RUAIDHRI'S SUGGESTION

Let's go!

More crescendo.

It's gradually growing.

THE FIRST PART STARTS QUIETLY

Louder!

THE MEMBERS ABSORB FEEDBACK LIKE A SPONGE

THE MORE COLORFUL <Moondance>

Thank you!

Thank you!

♪ My love? ♪

- Is it okay? - Really good.

It was really great. That was great.

Nice change.

It's the best we've ever done.

HE'S PULLING HIS HAIR OUT AGAIN

We need a 5-minute breather.

5-MINUTE BREAK

STILL GOING AT HIS HAIR

You still have a lot of hair left.

I know.

You're killing it, Ruaidhri. Good stuff.

You were great.

- You were great. - Oh, my God.

- How are you doing? - I don't know.

You're doing really well.

Thank you, Cuan. I don't know.

You're the greatest.

Thank you. Thank you for saying so.

You're doing such a good job of, like, giving us good advice as well. You know?

It's, like, really good tips, you know? It sounds good.

Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you for saying so.

Actually, I'm not good at singing.

You're great at this! You've been teaching me for years.

HIS HAIR SUFFERS UNDER PRESSURE

I have to do well. I do, but it's so much pressure.

I'm sure Ruaidhri's led The Ramparts well. I don't want to ruin it.

So I should keep listening to the songs and practicing.

The next one is Falling Slowly.

Are you going to do Falling Slowly solo with us?

- Only me? All alone? - We do it together.

But everyone will be underneath.

RUAIDHRI WILL SING THE LYRICS SOLO

But I... I can't...

I couldn't memorize the lyrics. Is it okay?

You can read it. Yeah, yeah. That's fine. That's fine.

HA HA HA

- Oh, yeah. - Oh, yeah.

HARD, RIGHT? BUT YOU'RE DOING GREAT!

I happened to listen to Falling Slowly that morning.

- You did! - And I'm singing it.

It's a good thing you listened to it.

WHAT WILL RUAIDHRI'S SOLO BE LIKE?

Let's do that.

One, two, three, four.

Why is the pitch so good?

You're good.

CALMLY KEEPING THE MELODY

PEEK

LITTLE RUAIDHRI FOLLOWING LEADER RUAIDHRI

AM I DOING THIS RIGHT?

YOU'RE DOING GREAT!

- Are you crying? Really? - What's wrong?

THE SONG STOPPED

Wait?

It's no surprise.

How did you feel?

- You got teary. - I would too.

RUAIDHRI FILLS IN FOR RUAIDHRI

They're saying you can do it.

How touching!

Back to the chorus!

FILLLING THE VACANT LEADER'S SPOT

THE MEMBERS BECOME MORE HARMONIOUS

RUAIDHRI STARTS TO CRY

JEBB'S GETTING TEARY TOO

THEIR VOICES ARE SHAKY

LIKE THE HARMONY OF ACAPELLA,

"THEY FILL EACH OTHER'S ABSENCE WITH <Falling Slowly>"

I'm sorry.

Ruaidhri!

He suddenly got so emotional.

I'd feel sadder after I started to cry.

It would feel like the music was comforting me.

Like it was cheering me on.

The harmony was touching me.

At that time,

I felt very holy.

- Yeah. - It's stronger in person.

And the sense of space played a big part.

Yeah, with the echo.

While the melody and the harmony were so beautiful,

I was there living someone else's life,

and I wanted to live it well.

And they were cheering me on and encouraging me.

- That's right. - They were looking at me

and singing beautifully.

I got choked up there.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I apologize.

- That's okay. - That was great. What happened, man?

Yeah, what's up, buddy?

Why am I sad?

So sad.

I believe in the power of music.

So...

So it was very touching to my heart.

Thank you for your time and for showing your beautiful voices.

Thank you for setting up this choir.

For being our boss.

Oh, my God. Yeah.

RUAIDHRI'S FIRST PRACTICE IS OVER

Thank you. Thank you for helping me.

No, you were great.

We usually go for a beer after rehearsal.

- Will you come for a beer with us? - Okay. I see. Okay.

IRISH STREETS ARE MORE CROWDED AT NIGHT

Irish pubs are famous.

- That's right. - So nice.

It's so pretty at night.

You'll get to drink an original beer.

- Is it over? - What? It's over?

- It ends here? - Let's watch some more.

Show us how he drinks in the pub!

Show the beer!

- We virtually practiced together. - This is harsh!

- He needs to drink the beer! - Minkyung!

- Drink it to end it! - Let's drink after.

- He should drink to end it. - Let's drink after.

But it's right to stop it here.

- Really? - Yeah, for flow.

- I'm thirsty. - We need curiosity.

- I'm so thirsty. - Okay, moving on.

We saw how Bogum adapted to the life in Ireland.

I long for it already. I miss everyone.

I'm sure you grew fond of them.

I think that's the power of music.

- Is that why you remember it more? - Yeah.

It was a youth movie.

- It was like a movie. - It was perfect.

I think Minkyung was really into it.

- Yeah. - Thank you.

My first day as Ruaidhri's fan!

But the genre is different now.

- Very different. - You kept giving spoilers to yours.

- So worried. - You said so much.

That's because I have no patience.

- Yeah. - And I'm a coward.

Those things kind of jump out of me, so it will be very different.

He already told us about how much he suffered.

I'm so curious! I really am.

- I want to see it now. - Yes.

- Minkyung? - Okay.

Let's see what Park Myungsoo's life

- was like now. - Wait.

Raise your tone a little.

Let's find out... Let's!

- Let's! - Fa, fa, fa, sol!

- Let's! - Let's!

Let's!

Let's find out what Park Myungsoo's life

- was like right now! - My name is...

Gabriel!

Let's go!

4:00 A.M. INCHEON AIRPORT

I'm so curious!

Where did you go to say such things?

It's been a while since I came here.

So different.

It's already different.

- He's already hip hop. - Starting at the airport.

Where am I going?

I'll know once I get on the plane. Why hide it?

Is this a different show?

I mean...

It's so different.

I already know what you want.

It's all in my head. Let's start right away.

Just tell me the country and job. What are they?

What country and life do you think we'll send you to?

- Expectations. - Let me say this first.

I can't go anywhere far.

My body can't do it.

Pick Japan.

Japan, Thailand.

Do you think sales would suit you?

No, I hate sales.

I like being alone.

I'm an ISTP. I like being alone.

A carpenter would be good.

- Carpenter. - You know?

Would you rather be the boss than an employee?

I think I'd run a business.

Yeah, I would've been good at it too.

Did you ever have a part-time job when you were young?

Part-time jobs... I was never hired.

I looked too rough.

I'm a diligent person. You know that. I'm different from others.

Right?

I'm very diligent.

I feel happy that I have somewhere to go every morning.

I'm a very diligent person.

Where is this?

- Where is it? Somewhere close. - I'm so curious.

Chiang Mai?

- Chiang Mai? - Chiang Mai!

Chiang Mai?

Is Chiang Mai in China?

Chiang Mai's in Thailand.

Thailand?

CHIANG MAI THAILAND

It's very hot there.

Wow.

- Chiang Mai. - Chiang Mai's great!

- You went on vacation. - The food's so good!

- Vacation? - It's a vacation spot.

A vacation spot?

It's the same as Ireland!

- It's a vacation spot! - Keep watching!

You kept complaining about it!

- Stop it, punk! - Seriously?

THE CAPITAL OF LANNA KINGDOM AND THE CENTER OF BUDDHISM

A VACTION SPOT FILLED WITH MOTORCYCLES AND FOOD

Thailand... I'm so relieved.

It's not Europe.

- Why do you hate Europe? - I'm just scared to go.

We have similar sentiments with other Asians.

- So... - They considered everything.

Yes, they were very considerate.

- It's close. - Yeah!

- Good food. - It's Asia.

- It's great. - Yes.

This is our sticker.

- Put it on your suitcase. - Goodness.

What is this?

My name is PARK MYUNGSOO

Can I ask you something?

- What is it? - Is Kim Taeho not coming?

He's already there.

It'll put me more at ease.

He knows me the best.

You didn't stick it nicely.

I always look at the world differently.

You can pick up your bag in Chiang Mai.

And you can board at 8:55 at Gate 30. Doors will close 10 minutes before.

- Okay. - Thank you.

EATING THE LAST DONUT AS MYUNGSOO

4:00 P.M. CHIANG MAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Do I become that person when I arrive?

Will someone come to me first? Like, "Hey!"

THUD, THUD, THUD...

Is she waiting for him? Who's that?

- Woodpecker! - Woodpecker!

- You changed. - Matching shirts!

- It's a matching shirt! - It's yellow!

- Matching shirts? - Really?

- It's yellow. - Matching shirts?

- Yellow shirt. - A honeymoon?

Thailand for the honeymoon?

She recognizes him!

- Goodness. - You look like a native

- in that shirt. - Chills!

But how will he...

Hello.

- Hello. - What?

Hello.

He said hi...

He said hi...

He said hi to her!

What else could I do?

We're complete strangers!

You really look like a dad on a business trip.

A dad who's trying to sell fans.

THE FAN BUSINESS KING SUITS HIM

- Clothes really do make people. - Wow!

That was when I knew why they asked me to change into that shirt.

Do you know how flustered I was?

- He greeted her so politely. - So funny!

- That's hilarious. - They should go somewhere.

- He met his other party. - I didn't know her yet.

The shirt was the only clue.

- Your daughter? - You couldn't imagine it.

She could be a tour guid e.

That's true.

Hello!

Excuse me?

Lukgan?

"Let's go home together"?

Okay?

- Thank you. - He's going.

We're going home, right?

Okay, okay.

They're close. She came to get him.

- They must be so close. - Let's go.

- She's nice. - She's family.

Yeah, I think so too.

It's so hot.

- Makang. - Okay.

Okay.

It's so hot.

- Oh, hot! - Yes, hot.

It's summer.

"It's summer."

It's 40 degrees.

- It's hot because it's summer. - It's summer, so it's 40 degrees.

But...

Who are you?

Goodness.

Ah...

The wife or daughter?

The wife or daughter?

Please.

I'm your wife.

I'm your wife.

SHE'S THE WIFE

Wow! The wife!

SUFFOCATING SILENCE...

So you met your wife for the first time.

I'm your wife.

Don't you remember?

He doesn't remember!

He must remember it.

- Wife? - Yeah.

He found out she's his wife after five minutes of meeting her.

Wife? What do I do about this?

What do you do?

- Okay. - Okay.

- Okay? Okay. - Okay.

- Are you my wife? - Yeah.

You...

MELTDOWN

Yes, husband.

This is bad. What do I do?

I had all kinds of thoughts. This is ridiculous.

"I'm your wife." Does that make sense?

No way...

I should've said, "Honey, how are you?"

But instead I said, "Who are you?"

Yes, you were married.

- Yes. - I mean, Gabriel.

Yes, Gabriel was married.

He was her husband.

Wait, so earlier,

you said you wanted to live there.

- Yes, he did. - What happened?

Do you miss her? Do you miss your wife?

- No, I don't. - How about a video message?

- You need to explain this well. - I don't.

When we were watching Bogum,

you kept saying how hard you had it while you were there.

You said he was in heaven.

But you were on your honeymoon.

You two look great!

Honeymoon! It's not a honeymoon! It wasn't a honeymoon... Hey!

- Let's watch the honeymoon! - Are you insane?

No... It wasn't a honeymoon!

Anyway, let's watch Myungsoo's honeymoon.

- It's not that! - Myungsoo's honeymoon! We'll watch it now.

- If you just watch this... - No!

I wondered how hard you had it.

- You kept complaining. - It wasn't a honeymoon!

We didn't do anything yet.

My name...

Do you know my name? My name?

P'Vootti.

- What? - P'Vootti.

- Piot? - Pigon?

P'Vootti!

- Her husband's name is Pioot. - Pigon.

- Pigon? - Vootti!

Vootti!

- Woot? Pioot? - Yeah!

- My name's Pioot? - Yeah.

Wife's name?

- Jaem. - Jaem.

Jaem?

- Jaem. - Jaem.

- Thirty-five. - Her husband's 35.

Her husband's 35, but I'm 53.

You got a lot younger.

The age was a big hit for me.

- Thirty-five? - Yeah.

Seriously? 35?

A 35-year-old must work hard.

I'm not 35. I'm 53.

- Taxi? - Yeah, taxi.

Jaem! Hello.

Hello.

- Pigot? - Yeah.

- My name is Pigot? - Yeah.

Yeah.

Wow.

- I've never been there. - So nice.

There's a fan too.

This is ridiculous.

- P'Vootti. Yeah. - Pioot.

- "Vootti"? - My name is Pioot.

- "My name is Vootti"? - Your name is Jaem.

- Jaem. - What is that? Vootti?

- Vootti? - Wootti?

- Vootti. - Vootti.

Yeah, Vootti.

The wife calls him "P'Vootti," but his name's Vootti?

You add "P" to someone's name if they're older.

- It's an honorific. - P'Vootti

- Almost. - You add "P."

- Because they're older? - Yeah.

- That's how we can learn it. - P'Vootti.

GABRIEL'S LIFE IN THAILAND AS VOOTTI STARTS NOW

SO AWKWARD

By chance, do we...

By chance, do we have a son or daughter?

- Asking about kids. - That's important.

We have one daughter.

- A daughter. - At least that's the same.

- The same here or there. - You're a dad.

- My daughter. - Yeah, daughter.

- Baby. Yeah, six months. - Baby?

- Six months. - Six months?

6 MONTHS?!?!

She's a newborn.

- Six months. - A newborn.

This is bad.

- Do you remember? - Sorry?

Do you remember?

No remember.

That's right!

Yeah, I remember.

- I remember. - Okay.

- My daughter? - I have to be immersed.

- Our daughter? - I said I remembered.

Okay, our daughter is pretty.

The baby's name is Nallan.

Park Nallan?

- Nallan. - Nallan.

Dad.

MYUNGSOO... VOOTTI... HE'S CONFUSED WITH HIS IDENTITY

This setting is hard.

This is too global.

But...

I don't remember.

What's my job?

Why are you talking like that?

- What was that? - Are you acting?

- "What's my job?" - "What's my occupation?"

- You sell items. - You sell items.

- You sell things? - I sell things? Me?

You must be a merchant.

Am I self-employed?

- You wanted to run a business. - Yeah. Business King.

Right?

- Okay. - So I'm self-employed.

This is nuts.

But...

What was my name again?

Wait a second.

Woot... My name is Woot?

Pioot.

I should ask her.

We're married. What do you think about my face?

How could a husband ask that to his wife?

- You're married. - I'm curious.

Well...

Let's see.

There's been a change.

There's been a change.

SPOKEN AFTER SOME THOUGHT

FACE CHANGE

She states facts.

It's gone from 35 to 53. Of course, there's a change!

Still, she was so gentle about it.

- There was a change. - Yeah, a change.

- Yeah. - She's nice.

It's very hot.

- Sorry. - Okay, sorry.

I understand.

Okay.

KEEPING HIS HEAD DOWN

Sorry. I'm so sorry.

- I'm sorry. - Okay.

It's okay.

- I'm excited. Yeah. - Excited?

HIGHLY ANTICIPATED 3 DAYS IN CHIANG MAI

- It's beautiful here. - You're right.

- You're on vacation. - Chiang Mai's...

- You're on vacation. - Stop saying that.

You must've arrived at home.

Arrived?

We're home now.

- It's an apartment! - No, it's not!

Yes, it is!

According to building laws in Chiang Mai, they can't build up!

- It's a mixed-use building! - No, it's not!

I can't do the show because of him.

- Here? - Yeah.

- My house? - Yeah.

This place's changed while I was gone.

- It's so clean. - Yeah.

CLEAN AND SPACIOUS YARD

- I'm satisfied. Good. - Yeah.

My daughter?

SO CURIOUS ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER

I was curious about the kid.

- My six-month-old. - I'm sure.

Nallan.

- They must camp outside. - The house is clean.

- Is she the daughter? - She's not a baby!

- No. - Is she the daughter?

- No, no! - I mean...

She said she was six months old.

- She suddenly came out. - No.

Hello. Daughter?

AN EXPLANATION SEEMS NECESSARY

- Is she 15 years and six months? - No. Just keep watching.

You'll see why she came out.

- What is this? - I was flustered too.

But I understood.

- You'll see. - She just suddenly appeared.

She just came out of the tent like that.

- Why would the daughter... - Is she the babysitter?

- That's so funny. - That's right.

You'll see.

The house is clean.

Wait...

THE DAUGHTER SEEMS VERY GROWN

My daughter? No?

No, no, no.

Who are you?

- Ian. - Ian?

She's my cousin.

The cousin.

Oh, cousin?

Is that "cousin"?

- Her name's Si. - Si?

- Si? Your name's Si? - Si. Yeah.

Sorry, I forget.

Si sleeps here.

- Sleep? - Yeah.

This family is so fun.

She eats and sleeps there. It's her room.

- Baby. Baby's crying. - Right, baby.

Finally, the daughter.

- Okay. - Okay.

Long time, no see. Okay.

I'm so confused.

- Get in? - Okay.

My daughter?

Daughter.

- Hand wash. - We have a bathroom.

- Here. Okay. - Bathroom? Okay.

Papa...

- Goodness! - No, not Myungsoo's.

That's Vootti's daughter.

So pretty!

Where?

RUSHES SO HE CAN HOLD HER

The house is so nice.

MOMMY'S HOME

PEEK

THE NEW AND CLEAN VOOTTI

Niece?

- Su. Her name's Su. Su. - Su?

LET ME HOLD YOU

- It's your daddy! - She's so gentle.

It reminded me of the past.

- She doesn't cry. - When mine was a baby.

Myungsoo watched his kid a lot.

- He has experience. - Of course.

- Of course. - She's so pretty.

She's staring at him.

- Nallan. - Nallan.

She's so pretty. This is crazy.

- Look at her staring. - Oh, my.

It must be strange for her.

She's an angel.

- She's so pretty and gentle. - That baby's Gabriel.

It...

It reminded me of the past.

It made me think about when I raised my daughter.

I was taken back to those days.

It really felt like I went back.

She's smiling.

Wait a second.

- Su. No... - Si.

Si, Su.

Jaem.

- Ballan. - Nallan.

- "N." - Nallan.

- Nallan. - Nallan.

What about Su? Is she our niece too?

She's P'Vootti's assistant.

I see. Okay.

She helps us with the baby.

- She helps you. - Yeah.

Hello.

Hello, I am Su.

When I was in college,

I worked part-time at Vootti's restaurant.

I was looking for a job after graduation,

and Vootti gave me a job.

Hello, I'm Si.

I'm Vootti's younger cousin.

Vootti's mother and my dad are siblings.

The family relations must be good.

Q. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION?

I think he's very old.

- There's a change. - They're so honest.

I feel the same.

The cousin feels the same.

Q. WOULD THE BABY LIKE THE NEW VOOTTI?

It makes me happy that he adores the baby.

Q. WHAT DO YOU THINK, SI?

I feel the same.

I don't think she wants to talk.

She doesn't talk much.

Do you know what was odd?

Everyone just accepted it like that.

- They just accepted it. - Bogum was accepted by the choir too.

It was so odd. They just did it. No one told them to act.

They just accepted it.

There's another woman here.

She... Let's see who she is.

FULL HANDS

Hello.

Who is she?

Did you order something?

Wait, wait.

Just a moment.

Sien.

Suk.

Jaem.

- Pun. - Sorry?

- Pun. - Pun.

Is she your sister?

- A friend. Yes. - Friend?

Really, a friend?

- Yeah. We're friends. - Friend.

Their names are so easy.

But it's confusing hearing so many.

- Poon? - Yeah.

- Long time, no see. - Yeah, long time, no see.

My name is...

- P'Vootti. - That's right.

Pigoot.

- P'Vootti. - P'Vootti.

I CAN'T REMEMBER MY NAME

- Pioot. Pioot. - Yeah.

Nallan.

MY DAD IS STRANGE NOW

She's so adorable.

Today, we have tom yum goong.

- Tom yum goong? - Yeah.

You're on a vacation!

SPEECHLESS

- It's a vacation! - So good!

Bogum ate one egg and almonds.

You get tom yum goong!

It's a party.

Tom yum goong...

That's what they normally eat.

Isn't this a vacation, Bogum?

That's what they normally eat!

Not to mention... It was 42 degrees outside!

That looks so good.

- That looks good. - Yeah!

Wow, it looks good.

She's so cute.

This reminds me of my past.

Do you want me to hold Nallan?

No, go ahead.

Jaem, Poon, Sien, Suk.

Eat first.

I'll give you the baby and eat when you're all done.

- The baby really adores the dad. - She hasn't cried once.

- How is she so good? - You're good with the baby.

- He's good with kids. - She keeps looking at her dad.

I must've been interesting to her.

THE FAMILY EATS FIRST

That looks good.

- I bet the food stays hot in that weather. - Yeah.

I get flustered when I meet strangers,

but I'm the husband.

It's like creating one family with all these new people.

They're all components of it.

There's an uncle, aunt, sister, and friends.

It was natural having them come like this.

The most important aspect is the baby. She's the common denominator.

- That's true. - Thanks to the baby...

I don't think it'll be that hot at night.

No, it's not. We have the fan.

Who do I sleep with?

I have to sleep alone.

You usually sleep alone.

What a relief!

I usually sleep alone! Hysterical!

It's the same for me. I just want to live here.

- Tom yum goong? - Tom yum goong.

OH

- Delicious. - Delicious.

- "Delicious." - It's so good.

HE LIKES IT

It's so good.

You said you weren't hungry just now.

No, no.

I wasn't.

But this tastes so good. It's so good. I mean it.

Poot picked up such great food.

Is she a friend from high school or middle school?

We met as students.

Really?

I sell smoothies.

Smoothies.

Oh, fruit smoothies.

Oh, she makes and sells fruit smoothies. I got it.

PUN RENTS A SPACE BESIDE THE HOUSE

AND RUNS A FRUIT SMOOTHIE SHOP

FIXATED

What is that?

- You're a local now. - Mangoes?

- Coconut, oranges, and bananas. - Coconut, oranges, and bananas?

VOOTTI'S A REGULAR HERE

Okay, I couldn't remember. I knew, but I forgot.

I want to know what business he does.

- I know. - Right?

- Me too. - Maybe a family business.

- Eat the som tam. - Som tam.

Is it good?

It's like kimchi. It's good.

Delicious.

It's good.

Do you want to sell som tam with us tomorrow?

HALT

- A som tam shop? - You sell som tam?

You have to work.

- Work? - Yes.

Tomorrow?

BEWILDERED

Where?

- You have to drive. - What?

- Drive? - Drive?

- Motorcycle. - What?

- A motorcycle? - Yeah.

Who? Me?

That's right. Vootti cooks and sells himself.

SOM TAM IS MADE WITH FRESH PAPAYA THAT'S BEEN CUT

AND SHREDDED

PEPPERS ARE ADDED FOR SPICE

GRIND TO BLEND

SHAKE IT, SHAKE IT

THE SOUL FOOD OF THAILAND, SOM TAM

But isn't it much easier than conducting? You just sell it.

Yeah, there's no pressure.

Conducting was way harder.

There's no fire either.

You didn't just make som tam, right?

- Did you only make that? - Did you?

So, what if I only made that?

I SEE...!

- Seriously? - Come on.

- That's not easy to make! - That's all you made?

- That's all you did. - All you did was, "Ah, ah, ah, ah!"

I was doing this!

I've never eaten song tam before!

It's my first time eating it.

You want me to sell som tam?

Yes, you're good at making it.

Our job...

So, our job is to make and sell som tam?

We sell som tam to hire Suk and make a living?

Does Sien help too? What about Sien?

How much som tam do we sell?

How much do we have to sell?

We have to earn enough to make ends meet.

This is bad.

I don't know how to make this.

To be honest,

I thought he had a store.

That he'd sell there.

But he has to ride a motorcycle, and I have no idea where he sells it.

I feel so frustrated.

It's driving me crazy to think about what will happen tomorrow.

I'll show you where you'll be sleeping.

Yeah, show me around your house.

I mean, my house.

LET'S WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW LATER AND GO TO BED FOR NOW

6:30 P.M. VOOTTI'S HOUSE

This is Su's room.

Su's room.

VOOTTI'S HOUSE Su's room

This is for me and the baby.

The baby and my Jaem.

Jaem's room.

Then where's my room?

WHERE'S VOOTTI'S ROOM?

- My room? - You sleep here.

This room?

In the living room?

YOUR SOFA

DIZZY

No, give me a room too.

The baby sleeps here.

It'd be better if you slept here.

What are you saying?

It's because you snore.

I don't snore. I fixed it.

I'll get you a fan.

He's just like me.

I sleep on the sofa too at home.

It's so I won't wake the baby.

The baby always comes first.

I sleep on the sofa too.

And it's very similar

to P'Vootti.

It's the same. That's what I thought.

- Do you normally sleep on the sofa? - Yeah, I do.

It's a habit now.

- Is it comfortable? - Yeah.

- You must be tired. - It was so hot.

- Your eyes look heavy. - You look sleepy.

You look so tired.

It's hot and there's no AC.

- There's no AC. - Still, isn't it cool inside?

Only Nallan's room has AC. When the baby sleeps.

There's no AC outside. It's a fan. It's so hot.

So the parents only use a fan?

I slept in 42 degrees.

You wanted to go into that room,

- but you couldn't. - I couldn't.

I don't know her.

Did you want to go in there for a second?

Of course, I did.

Were you like, "Honey, please?"

What's that?

What is this? Amazing.

What is it?

What is it?

What is this?

Did they photoshop it?

- You're younger. - I know. It's when I was younger.

They changed everything.

How could they even change this picture?

This is insane.

This scared me.

My body looks better than my face.

That's right. I'm the husband.

HE SEEMS SO TIRED

- Yes? - You have to bathe the baby.

What?

- Shower? The baby? - Okay. Yeah.

I'll check the water.

Where is this?

OUTDOOR KITCHEN

We have to boil the water.

What?

Hot water?

- Hot water? - Yeah.

TURN ON THE FIRE

The smell of gas!

PUT THE WATER ON

- Five minutes. - Okay, okay.

- Five minutes? Okay. - Okay, okay.

HE SPREAD TEN FINGERS

Five minutes. After five minutes?

Hot water, move?

- Yeah. - Okay...

- In the bed, okay? - Okay.

AN UNEXPECTED WATERBED

When I take a shower, do I heat the water like this?

Yes, do it yourself.

I can't do it for you.

That's okay.

Okay, you're okay.

I think it's ready.

That's hot!

- Okay! - Okay.

My hands! It's hot!

- The handles are hot. - You used your bare hands.

You should've used a towel.

You have to be careful for the baby. Temperatures, especially.

NALLAN'S BATH IS READY!

Don't move!

Let's wash your hands!

Since he's used to childcare.

- He has skills. - So skilled.

The baby hasn't cried once.

How is she so calm?

So cute.

- What is this? - Read her a book.

Take a look at this. Here.

- Hamster. - Wow, a hamster.

DADDY'S ACT HAS BEGUN

A butterfly and a bunny.

A dog. Woof, woof!

YOU SCARED ME

- Okay, a cat. Meow! - A cat.

THE CAT IS SCARY

Next, a parrot. A parrot?

Hello!

Hello!

She gets sleepy after reading books.

Well? What's the number?

One.

- What's this? - This? A giraffe.

What was it in English?

- Giraffe. - Yeah.

- Number two. - Number two.

Okay.

Where? What?

- What is this? - Cats.

The cat's wearing a hat.

Is this an English lesson?

THAI PARENTING IS HARD

7:40 P.M. NALLAN'S BEDTIME

Will she sleep?

♪ Sleep, my Nallan ♪

♪ In the front yard and back hill ♪

♪ The birds... ♪

What was it again?

♪ And lambs are all asleep ♪

She's not sleepy at all.

I don't think she'll sleep.

- It's not a lullaby she knows. - Don't look at Daddy. Go to sleep.

Once you get married and have kids,

you'll realize babies don't fall asleep well.

CHANGES POSITIONS

When Minseo was young, I didn't put her to bed often.

I was very busy then. Kim Taeho's here and he knows.

I thought about that a lot. I felt sentimental.

But she remembers it. She says, "Daddy, you were so busy then."

When I think about that, I feel sorry.

♪ Sleep well, Nallan ♪

But the baby looks so comfortable.

♪ Go to sleep and wake up late ♪

♪ Sleep well, Nallan ♪

♪ Go to bed for 12 hours ♪

ADDING HIS WISHES INTO THE LULLABY

- I have to cough. - No, don't.

You have to start over then.

This is a buildup.

- She's sleepy. - She must be sleepy now.

She's rubbing her eyes.

She's so cute.

She's so gentle.

She really is.

My kid wasn't that cute.

♪ Sleep well, Nallan ♪

♪ Our baby, Nallan ♪

She's sleeping.

He went into the AC room.

THIS IS BAD

How do I take my arm out?

It's hard putting babies down.

- Your arm. - It's over if she wakes up.

- You have to be gentle. - It's over if she does.

No, it's okay. There's a way.

You did it. Success!

Cold?

Is it cold?

Cold?

Temperature.

Raise the temperature.

HE TRIED TO SAY "Temperature"

Okay.

Light, off.

He doesn't want to leave now.

- It's cool. - He's out.

I'm sure he wanted to stay.

That room was a paradise.

TAKING A BREATHER

Okay! Daddy.

Q. WHAT KIND OF PERSON IS VOOTTI?

I think Vootti is a kind person.

I saw how gentle the baby was, so I don't think he's like me.

I think he's a very pure and genuine person.

He's in his twenties, so he has more hair too.

VOOTTI

Is he not?

You started to become curious about who Vootti is.

Yeah, I was very curious about him.

I wonder what he's like? I think we're about the same height.

I bet he's handsome.

Probably.

An ordinary...

In an ordinary place...

I think they're an ordinary family living in Chiang Mai.

But this life is nice too.

10:00 P.M. READY FOR BED

You really made yourself at home there.

- I have to take a shower. - You're well-adapted. You're adapted.

Did you show your back to Jaem?

No, my sister-in-law's sleeping right now.

Wait, she's not my sister-in-law.

- That's not right. Jaem! - Your wife.

- Jaem. - We don't want misunderstandings.

MOSQUIITO TENT IS UP

She got me a mosquito tent.

Were there mosquitos?

That's why she brought it.

That looks like a food cover.

Our moms used that.

He's sleeping on a big table.

Seriously? After you said it, it really looks like that now.

- It's a big table. - To cover food from flies.

- Moms would cover it against flies. - Yeah!

With pumpkin leaves! They'd use pumpkin leaves.

My mom used that a lot.

Before leaving the house.

Vootti spends a night on a big table tonight.

NAKED

- You took everything off? - Because it's hot.

- I'm a real man. - Wait. That surprised me.

I was so surprised.

It was so hot, I had taken everything off.

But...

- I was shocked. - Isn't that too natural?

- Wow. - Don't get the wrong idea.

What else could I do? It's 42 degrees.

It's hot. It's hard to wear clothes in that.

It looked like you were on this big table, and you were a fried mackerel on it.

One big fried mackerel.

You're exhausted and tired.

Q. HOW WAS MEETING THE NEW VOOTTI?

Different.

He looked stubborn and hard to handle when I first met him.

I thought, "What type of person will he be like?"

But after meeting him and getting to know him,

he's very warm-hearted.

I think he's someone who loves his family.

He has a soft voice,

so he was able to put Nallan down quickly.

If I teach him how to make som tam,

I think he'll be good at making it.

He doesn't look like a hard worker.

I think we need to teach him as if he's a novice.

I feel the same.

She's no joke.

The som tam is made.

In our culture, it would be dongchimi

How will I sell it tomorrow?

I want to know how it's made too.

Let's go to the market tomorrow and find out.

I'll figure it out tomorrow, and I'll let you all know.

I'm curious. This is In-Depth 60 Minutes.

That was great.

He's living a completely different life

from Park Bogum.

We just saw Park Myungsoo's life.

It's almost hard to believe they were filmed together.

- But I think you're amazing. - Why?

If that were me, I don't think I could adapt.

I couldn't do yours.

- I would've run. - Really?

- I think you would've been better. - No.

You have a daughter too.

Also, you live with a family you don't really know.

That's right. You live together.

The market was very long.

It's crowded and broad.

I was flustered.

Is this it?

How do I know if this is fish or vegetables?

VOOTTI CAN'T SPEAK THAI

I had to ask each merchant.

- -Prik kiaw. Prik kiaw.

Prik kiaw.

Prik kiaw.

- Muang? - Ma-muang?

Muang!

They'll use body actions. They'll point, and I'll go.

I'll follow their directions.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

This is too much.

Wait a second. Where did I park the motorcycle?

Wait. I parked it here.

Didn't I park it here?

- It's gone. - Was it stolen?

- Were you robbed? - I'm sorry.

My bike. My bike is lost.

I don't... Looking for my bike.

I can't watch. You poor thing.

I'm sure this is it.

I'm not lost. I lost my motorcycle.

This is bad.

I'm such a dummy.

How will you find it?

MEANWHILE, RUAIDHRI IN IRELAND

It's like a pub from the movies!

I don't normally drink.

But I started to drink more.

I wanted to take better care of them too.

It was exciting.

It really felt like I had become Ruaidhri.

To my loving mom and dad,

I love you. God bless you.

Ruaidhri changed my life.

I'm so grateful and happy thanks to him.

I think he's someone who affects many people in a good way.

WHAT TYPE OF PERSON IS RUAIDHRI?

TEARY

It's a tear jerker.

I have to cry too.

I can't cry though.

My name is Gabriel
