I'm sure Mr. Lee can embrace a woman like me.

- Ms. Han. - What?

Gosh, I'm so sorry!

Ms. Han!

I only have a minute left.

When I kiss a man, I turn into a dog.

When is she going to turn back?

At 6am.

Then she will turn into a dog at midnight.

- For how long? - For 100 days.

If she can't break the curse by then,

she'll live her life as a dog for the rest of her life.

The only way to break this darned curse.

I must kiss this man again today.

This time, as a dog.

By the way, why on earth do you hate me?

Why do you feel uncomfortable around me?

It's because whenever I'm with you...

Anyway, it's true that I avoided you because I felt uncomfortable,

but it's not because I don't like you.

[Yu Na: You have 5 minutes left. Get out of there.]

Gosh. I need to step out for a second. Please excuse me.

Ms. Han.

What? What's wrong with him?

Hold on. He's afraid of dogs?

Seriously, what should I do now?

He absolutely hates dogs.

Did something else happen?

Won. You haven't forgotten about our date after work today, right?

Then if you've decided to help me,

how about we meet up regularly so you can give me some pointers?

Just one beer. Please?

Can you not hear me?

How many times do I have to say no?

Why do you feel uncomfortable around me?

What are you, a nutcracker?

And what am I, a walnut?

You keep picking on me and at me over and over!

Hey, didn't you say he was scared of dogs?

But think about it.

All kinds of dogs from the area must circle around her.

You're students. You shouldn't be smoking in front of our school.

Hey, what are your names?

We should touch hers and call it even.

She asked you what your names were.

Are you feeling better?

I was a bit startled this morning. But I'm all right now.

Sorry about yesterday.

I was sorry too.

Now that I think about it,

it was only natural for you to misunderstand.

I don't know what it is, but if it's hard to talk about,

you don't have to tell me.

Everyone has their own story,

and we can all have a secret we keep inside our hearts.

Is this Ms. Han Hae Na, a teacher at Garam High School?

Ms. Han. I think the buses have stopped running.

I'll get going.

Hello? Woo Taek, I'm in big trouble right now.

Why are you still here?

How can a person change into a dog?

Do you live by yourself, Ms. Han?

I think your family will be worried.

Do you want me to contact them?

How do I get out of here?

First, I'll wait until it's 6am.

Then when I turn back into my human form, I'll leave.

I can't fall asleep, no matter what.

I can't fall...

Oh, no. I'm doomed!

What now? What am I going to do now?

Who is that?

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday, dear Ms. Han - Happy birthday, dear Ms. Han

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

Did you buy this cake?

Yes. I know that you like tiramisu.

Thank you.

Or perhaps, I should've given you this instead.

Why are you holding a dog bone?

Eat it.

My dog, Mandeuk, loves this!

- Do you want to play with this? - I hear dogs like rubber.

Bite it.

We must put a leash on her if we want to train her.

All right. Give me your paw.

This outfit looks great on you. Right?

No, I'm not a dog.

I just happen to turn into a dog briefly!

A while ago, I saw a huge rat.

That was you, right?

Ms. Han?

Is this a dream?

Wait. What are you doing here, Mr. Jin?

What are you doing here here, Ms. Han?

Ms. Han, are you back?

Uncle.

"Uncle?" What do you mean?

Can you explain what's going on here right now?

[Episode 3]

Ms. Han, you turned into a dog yesterday.

Just a moment ago,

I witnessed something with my own eyes.

Was there an incident?

Did you make a mistake?

Uncle, come on. What do you think I am?

Something crazy happened yesterday.

Well, in the middle of the night yesterday,

I had to go to the police substation to get Yul.

A police substation?

Ms. Han, how could you tell him that?

Why did you end up at the police substation?

Did you get into trouble?

The guys from Kyungwon High School...

started a fight with Yul.

Did they hurt you?

No. Yul is completely fine.

It was nothing. Ms. Han came and sorted everything out.

Why did you call Ms. Han, not me?

What if they found out that you were my uncle?

Who knows what they might do?

They might try to find dirt on you or something.

Why are you worried about me? I'm your guardian.

You should have called me instead.

Please don't scold him.

- I'm his homeroom teacher. So... - Let me talk to Yul for a second.

But why did you come all the way to our house?

Oh, that.

Well, I...

Ms. Han was out drinking.

But she had to rush over to the station for me.

That's right. So when we got out of the police substation,

we got into a taxi because I wanted to drop him off at home.

But once I got into a taxi, the tension in my body relaxed.

Then I started to feel the alcohol in my body.

So I ended up falling asleep in the taxi.

I don't know where she lives.

There was no way I could talk to a dog.

A dog?

Ms. Han was...

like a drunk dog.

Right. I was like a drunk dog yesterday.

Why did you drink so much?

Were you upset because of what happened with...

the boys from Kyungwon High School? Is that why you drank?

That's right.

I was very upset, so I had a few drinks.

Ms. Han was sleeping in your room.

Then you should have slept outside.

Of course, I did.

That's odd. I clearly remember sleeping on the sofa.

It must have been uncomfortable.

You must've come back into your room when you were half-asleep.

Right.

I probably did that when I was half-asleep, Uncle.

Do I sleepwalk?

Maybe, it's your homing instinct.

Seriously. You're so smart. No wonder why you're a teacher.

That was why.

Ms. Yoon.

Didn't you say you were coming out to exercise?

Just wait.

I was told he usually went out for a jog around this time.

What's going on with them? Why are they coming out together?

Well, Ms. Han.

Can you not tell people that Yul is my nephew?

Gosh, of course.

It might be uncomfortable for Yul if people find out.

I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday.

Things like this seem to happen often whenever I'm with you.

What's going on?

Had I not been so wasted from drinking too much...

So you got wasted?

I'm sorry...

for getting worked up earlier.

He got worked up?

By the way, I'll keep your secret no matter what.

His secret?

Go away.

Ms. Han.

I think you should cut down on drinking.

Lately,

there have been a lot of dangerous incidents.

Okay.

I'll see you at school then.

[Nana Animal Hospital]

He found out?

Your student found out?

There's more.

He's the nephew of the math teacher.

What? His nephew?

Hey, you.

- Are you out of your mind? - Gosh.

That hurts! What are you doing?

- Do you have to ask? - What are you doing?

You still haven't learned your lesson...

after that major incident you had.

Woo Taek, stop Yu Na.

Hey, it's not like you had a perfect record either.

Your ex-boyfriend threatened to expose your secret,

so you had to buy his silence.

Why are you bringing up that jerk right now?

- Why are you bringing him up? - Hey, Hae Na. Stop her.

Seriously, Woo Taek. Why did you bring that up?

- That traitor. - You little...

Were you talking about me just now?

Yul, let's eat.

So cute.

You're always watching dog clips.

That's because I can't have dogs because of you.

Can't we get a puppy?

I have enough on my plate, taking care of you.

What are you doing?

Picture this.

When you get home,

our puppy will greet us like this every day.

I wouldn't want to come home then.

Darn it.

Come here.

Get this butt poke instead.

Come here. Let's eat.

I'll clean up after the dog.

- Eat before the food gets cold. - I'll walk the dog too.

I'm serious.

Sit down.

I'll think about it during our meal.

Really?

Okay.

If you can eat ten bowls of rice.

Dig in.

Thank you for the food.

How can I eat ten bowls of rice?

Eat up.

Look at this. Isn't this cute?

That's kind of cute.

[Come and play with us, woof!]

[Bong Hi Pet Store]

[Come and play with us, woof!]

Gosh, Yul is a nice kid. He's not going to tell anyone.

How can I trust him?

You can trust him.

Drop me off here.

Take this.

What's this?

Give that to the math teacher.

You said he was terrified of dogs.

Who knows? If he carries that around,

he might be able to develop an ounce of tolerance toward dogs.

Don't forget to be careful.

Dogs come to you whenever they see you.

If the math teacher sees that, he might be terrified.

Good luck.

[College Admission Seminar at Garam High School]

Does she really think he's going to carry this thing?

What's that?

Mr. Lee.

Gosh, this is so cute.

Wait. This puppy...

sort of looks like you.

Really?

It makes sense, though. You do have the puppy face.

I like dogs because they are loyal.

Once they consider someone as their master,

they stay loyal until death.

Are you like that too?

Once you like someone, do you stay faithful to that person?

Of course.

Mr. Jin.

- Mr. Jin. - Yes?

Did you have a nice weekend?

Yes.

How?

Pardon?

Tell me how you enjoyed your weekend.

Is there something you want to say to me?

Mr. Jin.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No.

Then I'll cut to the chase.

As colleagues, I want us...

to open up to each other and talk about everything...

without any secrets.

What do you think about that?

Sure.

Then...

on that note, why don't we tell each other a secret?

You might not know,

but my buttocks are asymmetrical.

So we've become close enough to share a secret with each other.

Right?

What?

Gosh, that's so cute!

- No way. - What a cute dog.

Oh, my.

I knew it. Ms. Dog Magnet.

Dogs love you.

Why do we have a dog here?

Hey. That's Mandeuk.

He's going to stay here for the day.

Gosh. My daughter begged me to look after him today.

I'm sorry. Should I get you something to wipe with?

Gosh, it's fine.

Sir, I'm sorry. I'm actually allergic to dog hair.

All of a sudden?

It started this spring.

Gosh. Oh, no.

Then...

you should take some medicine.

Well,

it looks like he feels out of place too.

Why don't we put him in the cage for a moment?

Gosh, no. Mandeuk hates enclosed places.

- Mr. Jin. - Yes.

Why are you blocking the door?

I left my phone in my car.

I didn't know you drove here.

That's great.

If you're going to the parking lot, can you go to my car...

and pick up Mandeuk's bag? It has his stuff inside.

You'll see a bag with his food and his plates.

- Okay. Sure. - Thanks.

Mr. Jin.

Why are you so jumpy?

Mandeuk must be hungry.

Can you feed him some food and water?

You want me to do it?

I'm very busy right now.

- Please do that for me. - Wait.

I'm sorry, Mr. Jin.

I'm late for my class.

- Hello. - Hello.

You won't tell anyone my secret, right?

Of course, I won't.

But are you okay at school?

You don't turn into a dog at school?

No, I'm okay at school.

Hey, don't you think it's bizarre?

I mean, me changing like that.

It sure is unusual, but I didn't think it was bizarre.

- Really? - Yes.

You looked so cute.

When will you change like that again? I want to see it again.

I don't really want to change like that.

Why not? I'll throw a ball for you,

and we'll play tug too.

Please?

I bought tons of these too.

Stop it, seriously.

Don't eat too much of it.

[Knock Before Entering Teacher's Office]

- Hey, what are you doing? - What?

- Nothing. - Take it easy.

- Bo Gyeom. - Yes?

Can you leave this on my desk?

Me? Why?

Do it for me, please.

Do it yourself.

I'll buy you that cake you liked.

My gosh.

Hey, I have money too.

Bo Gyeom, please.

Why are you so clingy today?

Bo Gyeom.

- It's me. - Okay, so what?

You know what I'm talking about.

No, I don't know.

Hey.

It's me, Won.

Seriously, what's with you today?

What's wrong with you? Gosh.

Real Cheese Choco Fondant Cake.

I'll buy you that cake.

Hi!

My gosh.

Your cuteness is your only sin.

Right?

- Thank you. - No problem.

Go.

- My gosh. - So cute!

Isn't that dog so cute?

Oh, boy.

Well done.

Come on.

Come here. Was that fun?

Good job.

Hello.

He's not at his desk again. Is he teaching a class now?

[Class Schedule]

What? He doesn't have a class now.

How come Mr. Jin is nowhere to be seen today?

I wonder too.

I haven't seen his handsome face in the office all morning.

During breaks, girls come looking for him with snacks in their hands.

"Where is Mr. Jin?"

Record the answer and just play the recording.

"I don't know. He's not here."

"I don't know. He's not here."

"But we have a dog here."

Oh, not anymore.

Did Mandeuk leave?

Yes, the vice principal just left with Mandeuk.

Mandeuk has to take a nap,

but his favourite cushion is at home.

Mandeuk really went home?

When I passed the teacher certification exam,

I bet my mom had no idea I'd end up cleaning dog poop.

Hey.

Hey!

What? Mandeuk went home?

I see. Mandeuk went home.

I see.

As for the exam questions, we'll finish them by Wednesday...

and check each other's questions for errors.

Then who will edit the exams?

We normally go by seniority.

Oh, I'm still wrapping things up for the school trip.

I'll be too swamped if I had to edit the exams too.

I'll do it.

Okay, then. Please take care of it for us, Ms. Han.

Yes, consider it done.

Ms. Han, I'm saying this for your own sake.

- Be careful. - What do you mean?

I saw it.

- What did you see? - Why do you seem so surprised?

Right, I understand why you're surprised.

Shall I say it? Or do you want to say it first?

Well...

I'm not sure what you saw and when it happened, but...

You see, you can't change like that.

Playing innocent to my face...

and wagging your tail behind my back.

Ms. Yoon, I can explain everything.

I'm not planning on telling anyone else.

Thank you.

Such unsavoury rumours...

will only damage Mr. Jin's reputation.

You see, many rumours...

are completely baseless.

A casual visit turns into a date.

After a couple of at-home dates, people say you're cohabiting.

Pardon me?

I'm not really sure where you stand,

but Mr. Jin and I are getting to know each other better.

Oh, I see.

We're sort of seeing each other.

We tell each other our secrets.

In any case... About Saturday morning,

I understand things happen.

Right, Saturday morning.

We're all adults here.

Things can happen when you're drunk.

I'm cool about these things.

Ms. Yoon, I went there that day because...

I had a bit of a situation.

I swear, nothing happened.

What situation?

I can't really tell you the details.

But I swear, nothing happened.

Please believe me.

So there's nothing going on between you two?

That's right.

You have no feelings for him?

No feelings at all, whatsoever.

All right, then. You'd better not go back on your word later on.

[Garam High School]

What was that? Why did I have to explain everything to her?

Who cares if they date? What does she want from me?

Hey, you.

Hey, I sneaked out because I didn't want to clean dog poop.

Why do you have to clean dog poop again?

He's back. Mandeuk.

- What? - I want Mandeuk's life.

He's back, with his favourite cushion.

Wait, check this out.

- Look at this! - What is this?

Hey, come here. Look at him.

[Knock Before Entering Teacher's Office]

- Mr. Jin. - Yes, sir.

Where have you been all day?

Right, the report. I'll send it to you now.

Guys! Move aside!

Move! Step aside.

Guys, step aside!

- Sorry, guys. - What's going on?

- Ms. Yoon. - Yes?

Are you done editing your exam questions?

Yes, I finished that long ago.

Gosh. I'm struggling to come up with questions for PE.

Mr. Jin, what's the matter?

Don't tell me it's because of the dog.

Gosh, no way.

Mandeuk!

Oh, the sprinklers above your desk must be broken too.

Water keeps dripping, right?

Yes, this is...

Mr. Jin, are you all right?

I'm fine.

Of course, he's fine.

It'd be absurd for a grown man to be afraid of dogs.

Are adults not allowed to be afraid of dogs?

- Sorry? - Pardon?

Oh, right. Ms. Han.

Didn't you say earlier that you were allergic to dog fur?

My gosh. I guess my allergy is gone. Oh, my!

Do allergies disappear like that?

Meet the new teachers who are joining us...

starting this semester.

Hello, everyone.

Hello. I'm Cheon Song Yi, and I teach English.

Hello, I'm Han Hae Na.

Stop!

- Go for it! - Yes, that's it!

Good boy.

House!

Sir.

- Yes. - This.

Oh, thank you.

Hey, Mandeuk.

You did well today.

Hey, Mandeuk. You did well today.

Hey, Seo Won. You haven't forgotten about that cake, right?

All right.

- Are you here to buy cake? - Yes.

I've been torn for the past 30 minutes.

Thankfully, it's still available.

Yes, but I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not.

Knowing you shouldn't do something makes you want to do it more.

I can't have chocolate at night.

Because I know that, I crave it every night.

- How about I help you? - Sorry?

I'll take them all.

Sure.

- Oh... - Thank you.

Thank you.

All right, then.

Thank you for today.

Sorry?

I know you helped me in various ways.

Was it that obvious? I thought I meticulously hid it.

You did. No one else could tell.

That I'm afraid of dogs.

I figured it was the thing you couldn't tell me the other day,

so I tried my best to help you in subtle ways.

So it was helpful, right?

Yes, for sure.

But...

you probably think I'm weird.

Gosh, no.

I'm much weirder...

Mr. Jin, but I was wondering...

why you had to keep it to yourself.

Could you tell me?

It's just that...

being afraid of dogs as a grown man...

is embarrassing.

Come on! I've done way more embarrassing things.

I got dead drunk and kissed you.

I pulled your hair out at the room escape café.

Then I got drunk again and slept in my student's room for ten hours.

See? I beat you.

Tell me something else you're embarrassed about.

That's only fair.

I've done all sorts of embarrassing things,

but you never once avoided me...

or thought that I was a weirdo.

I feel the same way.

We're not weirdos.

It's just the way we are.

- What's this? - What?

Hey, it's a little dog.

What do you think?

I thought that maybe if you kept that,

it would help you build up an immunity against dogs.

Like a vaccine of sorts.

Was this vaccine...

clinically tested and approved?

You're my first test subject.

You can give it back if you don't want it.

Take this.

I realized...

there's no one at home to eat this.

Eat it during the day.

Not at night.

During the day.

I promise to eat it during the day.

I owe you for today,

and you gave me a vaccine dog.

I'd feel better if I gave you something.

You should.

A good night's sleep would do great for your skin,

and your popularity.

I doubt I'm popular.

You know you are.

The whole universe knows.

You keep a journal, don't you?

"Today, yet again, I was awesome."

"Today, yet again, I was cool."

I don't keep a journal.

What's up with her?

She'll turn into a dog soon.

She can't have chocolate.

Right.

How...

does it taste?

You know what chocolate cake tastes like.

I don't.

I can't remember.

Did Math take the doggy key chain?

He did.

It looks a bit like you.

He'll become immune.

Hey, how about this?

Make the dog on the key chain a bit bigger each time.

You know those Russian dolls that open and stack up?

The matryoshka.

Yes, like those.

Step 1, step 2, step 3.

Increase the size gradually,

until in the end, it's you crouching like the doll.

When his guard is down,

move in for the kiss.

That's really smart.

- I know. - Not bad.

Eat up.

- It's so good, right? - Yes.

Can you stop eating?

It's fine. Keep eating.

I want some so bad.

- Bo Gyeom. - Yes?

Can it be bad for someone to eat chocolate at night?

It's totally fine.

Is that a popular accessory these days?

Why do you live in a place like this?

Don't you have a home?

I do have a home.

Why don't you live there, then?

Why live out here?

I don't know what I was in my previous lifetime,

but I just love to be around nature.

I'll go home when I'm done.

Done with what?

Drink some of that while it's hot.

It's good for you.

This tea cup.

It looks really old.

Doesn't it?

You'll never imagine just how old it is.

Is it a hundred years old?

It's as old as the time it took...

for the light from that star to reach us.

That sounded like a pick-up line.

- What? - I got you, didn't I?

You can be so silly.

It's nice out here.

- I like you so much. - Hey.

Thank you.

The wedding invitation came out nice.

Seosan?

That's so far out.

Sorry.

Mr. Bong's family is from there.

We rented a bus for everyone.

Don't worry.

I don't like buses.

Ms. Gong.

My wedding invitation's out.

My goodness.

A wedding invitation?

Yes.

Ms. Seo and Mr. Bong's.

They're getting married at last.

They thought it was a secret, but everyone knew they were dating.

They dated for a long time too.

During the school trip,

out on the balcony.

Doesn't this feel like...

we're Romeo and Juliet?

We're not Romeo and Juliet.

My Bong-meo.

My Seo-liet.

How long must we date in secret?

I bet no one knows what we're up to.

I bet. Isn't it a thrill?

- What a... - Be quiet.

Now that I think about it,

us four were on the balcony upstairs.

We're living witnesses of the Bong-Seo saga.

Should we get them a present?

Could you two get something?

Yes, I guess?

Are you free this evening?

Yes, I am.

Pick something out and tell me how much I owe.

Okay.

Where shall we go?

Didn't you say you're not yet done grading papers?

You have two more days to put the grades in the system.

Research will chew you out if you're not done in time.

Darn it, you're right.

Isn't this pretty?

It's too expensive.

I feel much better.

Matching pyjamas might work.

Aren't these cute?

They're nice.

How about this?

Can you handle it?

Which one...

turns you on more?

How about this?

That's a bit uncomfortable.

Let's get this, then.

Why get something I won't wear?

You don't buy this to put on.

Then what?

You know what.

Not so loud. We're not alone.

Who cares?

Shall we get out?

Yes.

You're such a lovely couple.

This would suit you.

What do you think?

- Thank you. - Thank you. Goodbye.

Lamps.

Shall we go now?

I'd like to drop by a pharmacy.

You don't feel well?

No. I want to get something for car sickness for the trip.

I get really sick when I take an express bus.

Are you okay in any other vehicle?

Yes.

It's just the express bus.

Would you like to go by my car, then?

Really? You don't mind?

If we leave the park at around 9am,

we should arrive on time.

Okay.

I won't let that happen.

- Ms. Han? - Ms. Yoon.

What are you two doing here?

We came to get a wedding gift for Mr. Bong and Ms. Seo.

Oh, just you two?

And you?

I needed some cheering up.

You needed a lot of cheering up.

Hey. This weekend,

shall we carpool to the wedding?

What?

Mr. Lee doesn't like buses and is looking to make a group.

Oh, is he?

Let's carpool.

We can take turns driving.

Count me out.

Why?

I'd rather not join you.

Can't you still come? It would be nice.

No, thanks.

What about you?

Are you in?

Well, I...

Say yes.

Or it'll be just me and Mr. Lee,

and I can't be alone with him.

It'll be awkward.

Will you come with us?

Yes, I will, then.

Great.

See you.

No, thanks.

Come on, Mr. Lee.

You don't want to be in a bus full of strangers.

Still, that's much better than driving for hours.

I can drive. We can take turns.

You want me to put my life in your hands?

Then lend me your car at least.

Ms. Han already agreed to join us.

I can tell something's up.

Tell me what's going on.

Who knows?

I might take the bait.

Well,

Mr. Jin offered to drive Ms. Han to the wedding.

No wonder. I knew there had to be a reason.

So you used me as an excuse to split them up?

I don't want weird rumours to spread.

I saw something already, and I got worried.

What did you see?

You must keep it to yourself.

When I was out jogging...

Okay, let's do it.

[Yoon invited Han, Lee, Jin.]

Here's the carpool group chat.

Drop a text when you're nearby.

Yu Na.

Take a look.

What do you think?

Does it look like I'm trying too hard?

No, it doesn't look like that.

It doesn't?

You want to look like you're trying?

Well...

Kind of.

This.

Or this.
