FRANKLY SPEAKING

What the...

Oh... You woke up.

You shouldn't see that. It's...

YEON
WHAT IS GOING ON?

COUPLE'S PARADISE!
EVERYTHING WAS A LIE?!

Ki-baek... isn't my boyfriend.

-Wait, what on earth...
-Ki-baek and Ms. On Woo-ju.

They were already a couple before
we started filming
Couple's Paradise.

Ms. On got jealous of
her boyfriend's love interest in the show,


Ms. Choi Yu-yeong,
and kicked her off the show in the end.


Regarding this matter,
the production crew
...

EPISODE 10: A BOLT FROM THE BLUE

Whoa, no way! Mom!

What's the matter?

-Mom.
-What is it?

-Ki-baek's love life is on the news!
-What?

That only happens to famous people...

My goodness!

-Ki-baek is famous, isn't he?
-Don't be surprised.

LET US LOVE EACH OTHER

"On Woo-ju"?

Ms. On's daughter?

WE'RE CLOSED TODAY
MADAME ON

I'm sorry!

-I'm sorry.
-Let's discuss what we're going to do.

But why are they discussing it here?

Should I go get some fruit for everyone?

People keep showing up at the TV station

and our meeting room
to make a fuss about it.

And if people see you two together,
it won't do us any good.

All right. In the video
that Min Cho-hui posted,

she takes issue with two things.
Number one.

Ki-baek and Ms. On Woo-ju.
They were already a couple

before we started filming
Couple's Paradise.

Hold tight!

And that's how Song Ki-baek,
who wasn't well-known, got cast


thanks to the head writer.

Your daughter has that much influence?

Influence? No.

I ask for a celebrity's autograph,
and she says it's abuse of power...

-Mom. I didn't do that.
-You did!

Now, number two.

Ms. On got jealous of
her boyfriend's love interest in the show...

On Woo-ju revealed her ambition
to become a celebrity,

kicked Choi Yu-yeong off the show,
and took her place.

Interesting.

First, let me go talk to Min Cho-hui.

You can't. She's already gone to France.

What?

She screwed us over and fled.

Should we go to France to find her?

Let me get the facts straight.

Your relationship began
after Couple's Paradise,

and the person who drove off
Yu-yeong was Cho-hui. Correct?

-Yes.
-Yes, that's right.

Well, then, should we think
about how to argue this?

We can argue all we want,
but there's no proof.

Would that work?

What else then? We do nothing?

Man, I don't know.

What if we're just giving people
another form of entertainment?

Man, this is completely untrue.

What are you up to?

Why'd you make rice ba*ls?

They're combat rations.

COUPLE'S PARADISE

GENIE EDU

IS IT TRUE ABOUT SONG KI-BAEK?
POOR CHO-HUI

THIS IS ALL JUST A BIG PR STUNT

ISN'T THIS A MEDIA STUNT?

WHY THE BIG DEAL
OVER SOME ORDINARY PEOPLE?

I HATE ON WOO-JU MORE

I'm sorry.

ANYWAY,
SONG KI-BAEK TOTALLY SUCKS

Ki-baek.

Are you dating On Woo-ju?

Yes.

From now on, your answer
to every question should be no.

All right?

You must have an interview to explain it.

You and Ms. On Woo-ju have to

get your acts together,
or you'll both go down.

You don't have any feelings
for each other.

There's nothing going on between you two.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Cho-hui

Happy birthday to you

I just put 30 candles on the cake.

I wanted to go with three,
but she stuck them all in.


YOU'RE SO CRAZY ABOUT MEN...
APOLOGIZE TO CHO-HUI

YOU TOYED WITH SOMEONE'S FEELINGS
JUST DIE



You blew out
all those candles like a champ.


Yeah, totally.

It was this night for sure.

Thanks, everyone.

Can't believe today's your birthday.

Is it true our show may not continue?

They've already taken it off
the on-demand streaming service.

And they shut down
the viewers' comment section.

You all look pretty chill.

Am I the only one who's worried
the show might be canceled?

Chief.

I get that you're upset,
but we're the victims here.

Woo-ju. I'm so disappointed.
I'm upset and sad.

I'm sorry, Chief.

No, no. If you were sorry,
you wouldn't be here.

If you're really sorry,
you should go out there and tell everyone

that there's nothing going on between you
and Song Ki-baek, don't you think?

-Chief.
-What?

-Come on, let's talk outside.
-What? Am I wrong?

Chief.

I'm sorry, guys.

If you say sorry,
it'll make us look like fools.

None of us did anything wrong.
All our efforts were genuine.

You're right. I'm not sorry, but...

Here. It's what you asked for.

Thanks.

I'm really not okay.

I'm screwed. I fell for you,
and now I'm totally screwed.

Well, who takes a couple picture
in the street anymore?

Everyone goes to
those photo booths nowadays.

Are you blaming me for that?

You were scowling at me
like you absolutely had to get a picture.

I didn't scowl at you.

I was looking at you because
you're pretty, and that's your fault.

Even if you thought I was pretty...

So, did Ms. Ma give you
a good dressing-down?

My agency wants me to do
an interview and explain.

Right.

That's the reasonable thing to do.

This all happened
because of someone's lies,

but to think that
we have to lie as well to fix it...

This is so hard.

What about you?
Did you get a good talking-to?

I'm thinking about quitting the Internet.

I told you not to read the comments.
You never listen to what I say.

I hope they know
we do read all those comments.

I wish it were just us reading them,
like private texts or emails.

No, that's not it.
On Woo-ju is the crazy b*tch.

I knew something was off
when Choi Yu-yeong left.

She probably wanted to become
a celebrity too. She's a total nutcase.

The more I talk about her,
the angrier I get.

She's my daughter.

Oh, I see.

Ma'am, how much do I owe you?

-You don't have to pay me.
-Sorry?

If you go out and take a left,
there's a new twisted donut place.

Use that money
to get yourself some donuts.

You'll feel better.

They're really good.

Okay.

KNOW THAT HATEFUL COMMENTS
ARE ALSO A FORM OF VIOLENCE

THEY DON'T DESERVE OUR LOVE

SONG KI-BAEK!
AS A FAN, I TRUST YOU

Where is everybody?

Mom and Pung-baek went out.

-And Dad?
-In his room.

He's been in there since yesterday.
What's he doing?

-Fighting.
-Fighting? Fighting who?

-Do you know Dad's on Instagram?
-Instagram?

He follows me and Pung-baek.

If you ever get an account, let him know.

He's been busy all day
reporting your haters

and replying to their comments.

Why did you want to see me?

What, are you here to see Woo-ju?

You've got a new habit of saying things
without filtering them through your brain.

You're just as thoughtless as I am.

So why did you want to see me?

No reason. Just checking in.

God, you know,
you're still as nosy as ever.

What? Are you going to get angry
at me again for being nosy?

That was ages ago.
And you came anyway knowing that I might.

Ki-baek.

What Un-beom gave you was supposed
to pay for his academy fees.

I didn't tell my mom about your situation.

I just told her you were having trouble,

and she gave me my allowance in advance.

Did I ask you for money?

Come on. Don't take it that way.

I'm sorry if I offended you.

But you're my friend.
I didn't know about your situation before,

but now that I do, I can't just ignore it.

Are you really my friend?

Would a friend make you look
like a beggar?

Just admit that you feel superior
now that you know I'm flat broke

and not nearly as cool
as you thought I was.

I don't need your pity.

You have a successful dad,
so what would you know?

What did you just say?

-Let go! Damn it!
-Let go!

I just wanted to help you, you idiot!

I've never told that to anyone but you!

And it wasn't because
I wanted your pity or help!

I know.

I bet Ms. Ma is badgering you
to deny everything.

You know,
I never knew why people liked me,

but now they hate me.

It feels like they're beating me up,
but I can't even speak.

My heart races a dozen times a day.

Right, I didn't want to know that
in such detail.

How have you been dealing
with people like that?

Not everyone is like that.

You shouldn't try to be on top of things
at times like this.

-What?
-What people think about you?

You can't control that anyway.

You can't even control
what the woman you like thinks about you.

Just

do what you can do.

Which is what?

Even if people call you a fraud or a liar,

just continue to be yourself.

Then some of them will like you again,
and some will still hate you.

Thanks.

And I was

grateful to you back then,
though I never said it.

What are you saying?
Shut up. You're making me cringe.

-Who the hell are you?
-You b*tch!

How dare you toy with someone's feelings?

-Call the police! Hurry!
-Let go!

Oh, right.

SEONGDONG POLICE STATION

Jesus, what is this?

Look, why did you do it?

You're in for property damage
and attempted aggravated as*ault.

Even first-time offenders serve time
for the latter.

You're a young person.
What are you going to do?

I'm a fan.

I like you very much.

Right.

That's why I did it,
because I like him too.

-What's that?
-Jeong-heon.

I only did it because I like you.

You see, I'm a fan of Jeong-heon's.

On Woo-ju, that damn girl!

She kicked you to the curb
for that Song Ki-baek or whatever.

It must've been so hard for you.

My God, look how gaunt you are!

I don't want you to be unhappy.

You shouldn't have settled
with her so easily.

She said she was sorry.

It was a difficult situation
because she's a fan. Thank you.

Not at all. No one got hurt,
and she's going to pay for the window.

You can go.

-Jeong-heon, are you all right?
-Huh? Yeah.

Let's go.

Ki-baek, you should take Woo-ju home.

-Yeah.
-I'll see you.

Jeong-heon.

Get home safely.

Take care of her.

Sure.

Thank you.

Jeong-heon.

You've dealt with crazy fans before.

Jeong-heon.

She likes me so much that...

she wanted to k*ll someone.

And I make a living out
of people like that.

I'm so sick and tired of it.

Of course, you are.
That girl looked totally insane.

No, I'm sick of myself.

I couldn't even say anything to her.

I just waited for the lawyer
to come and speak for me,

and I was relieved
when Woo-ju said she'd settle.

Jeong-heon.

Can I call myself successful?

I told you. I'm really okay.

You know I'd tell you if I weren't.

I'm not okay with this.

The threat was real this time.
You could've gotten hurt.

I am not okay with this at all.

Hi, this is Song Ki-baek.

I'll do the interview like you said.

Yes.

Thank you.

Even if it involves lying,

let's do everything we can.

SONG KI-BAEK PRESS INTERVIEW
REFERENCE SHEET

I'm glad you changed your mind
about the interview.

This is the only way
to solve the situation.

Tell them nothing's going on
between you and Woo-ju.

Okay.

They're all reporters I know very well.
You can relax.

Can you smile for me?

Yes, good. All right.

You went from being an announcer
who only spoke the truth

to launching your freelance career
and excelling in variety shows.

"Honest and sincere."

Those are perfect key words
to describe your character.

Thank you. Since my days as
an announcer, sincerity and truthfulness...

I'm sorry.

Sincerity and truthfulness have
always been the only values I pursued.

Speaking of sincerity and truthfulness,

you've been receiving
a lot of attention, Ki-baek.

Couple's Paradise is hot right now.

Yes.

When you and Ms. Min Cho-hui
became a couple in the end,

your fans were very excited.

But it doesn't seem like you guys
have been doing well since then.

Oh, that's not really true.

If it's not true,

are you saying there has been
a misunderstanding?

That's right.

Cho-hui caused
a misunderstanding and left town.

If I could,
I'd fly over to Paris and just...

That's funny.

This is not what I wanted to tell you.

You can relax. I'm sure you have
your own side of the story.

Please take your time.

Okay.

Take my time

and relax.

No one cares about details.
Everyone just believes Cho-hui

and is throwing stones at me.
Isn't that wrong?

No one's listening to what I have to say.

Okay, so are you saying that
Ms. Min Cho-hui told lies?

They are lies. Well, not all of them.

What exactly is a lie and what isn't?

I'll tell you
if you'll write about it honestly.

-Are you and Ms. On Woo-ju together?
-Yes!

-What?
-Oh, my God.

You're together? This is a huge scoop!

-Mr. An, let's take a break.
-Everyone.

Let's take a short break...

A break? We only have an hour.

If you and Woo-ju are in fact together...

That's not what you're supposed to say.
Get it together, okay?

-If it's not true, please explain.
-That's a lie!

-Do you have any proof to back it up?
-Well...

Why reveal this now
when it could escalate things?

-That's...
-We'll wrap things up here.

-Thanks.
-But this will make a good story.

Wait, Ki-baek.

Wait.

I'm sorry.
I have something I must tell you.

You're On Woo-ju, aren't you?

What is the matter with you two?
Are you insane?

Everything Min Cho-hui said
in her video is a lie.

It wasn't me who drove off Yu-yeong.
It was Cho-hui.

In here, I have a video that proves
Cho-hui was blackmailing Yu-yeong.

He said I-su has a picture of you two
as his phone wallpaper


and told him you're his girlfriend.

Cho-hui. Please keep it a secret.

I can't.

What do you want, then?

Get lost. Drop out of the show.

If you don't,

you're screwed. I'll go public with it.

One of the fixed cameras on set
caught their voices.


The editors missed it
because no one was in the shot.


I need Song Ki-baek.

With Kim Jeong-heon,
things may not go how I want.


-Did you meet with her?
-She's right here with me.

And I've brought a witness.

Hello.

Yu-yeong can join the interview.

Ki-baek. Are you okay?

What about your relationship
with each other?

It's true.

I really like her!

I wasn't going to tell you,
but it's true, and I can't deny...

Yes, we're together.

Wow, this is incredible.

Oh, my God.

But it's not true that
we were dating before the show

for some sort of personal gain.

Right. It was when we were
finished with the show

that I asked her out.

I know you may or may not believe
what we tell you.

-But the two of us...
-We will not lie anymore.

On Woo-ju and Song Ki-baek are a couple!

-Wow, this is...
-This is a huge scoop!

Man, what a scoop.

Wow, this is totally...

WE ARE A COUPLE

HAIL TO ALL COUPLES!
THE TRUTH OF PARADISE

They call you the Hooray Couple.

The comments are...

Half critical, half caring.
Everything is half and half.

That's true, but...

-Kim Myeong-ji did drugs?
-Really?

He named 12 accomplices,

including politicians and celebrities.
That's crazy.

Wow. I never thought
he'd do something like that.

-I know.
-Wait.

Does that mean this whole thing
about Ki-baek has blown over?

That's great, isn't it?

Ki-baek and Woo-ju are
already yesterday's news.

That looks nice.

GOLD RESORT
EXCLUSIVE LIMITED-TIME OFFER

Maybe we should all take a trip there.

Like we can afford it.

We've never taken a trip together,
all five of us.

WEIGH TO GO GYM

LUNGE, OVERHEAD DUMBBELL PRESS

WIDE SQUAT

Captain, are you lifting
enough weights at home?

-Wow.
-Think about me while you do it.

Should I come back
for another workout this evening?

I have some training sessions
scheduled this evening.

I see.

Come later at night.

Okay.

I ran into Gu-won a few days ago.

Really?

How come he doesn't like fried chicken?
That's unusual.

Gu-won does like fried chicken.
He loves it.

What?

His drone was stuck in a tree,
so I helped him get it out.

Didn't he tell you?

He didn't.

That's weird.

Gu-won tells me everything,

even little things like
how his shoelaces came undone.

Let's just work out.

What if someone sees us?

So what? We're the Hooray Couple.
The whole world knows.

I don't know if it's good or bad,
but people don't seem too interested.

Yesterday, I thought all those people
were going to bite us to death.

They have so many other things
to bite in here.

Thank you.

For not making me lie.

I'm sorry I pressured you into lying.

What happened to your switch yesterday?
You said you didn't sneeze.

Try lying about anything.

Here. "On Woo-ju and Song Ki-baek
are not a couple."

On Woo-ju and Song Ki-baek...

are a couple.

What?

We definitely are.

Come on, I'm not joking.

Try it. "Song Ki-baek is a woman."

Song Ki-baek...

is a man.

Why?

I mean, why isn't it working?

Do you feel the same?

The switch is gone.

Now, lightning will strike all the time.

Oh, lightning will strike?

It may seem like the recent incident
has been resolved somehow,

but I don't know what mistakes
I'll make in the future

and who I might end up hurting.

In the future?

Even the switch is gone now.

There is no one
who can put the brakes on me.

The people I like,
the people I love, my family...

I'll be causing trouble for them.

No, I already am.

It must've been really hard.

For everyone you love,
including your family.

Yeah.

-And?
-Sorry?

So what did you do for them after that?

I didn't exactly do anything.

"Oh, I'm going to be struck by lightning."

-Can anyone anticipate that?
-No.

Can anyone avoid lightning
because they plan to?

You can't.

So what are you worried about?
There's nothing you can do.

The future comes after the present.

Find something you can do in the present.

-"The future comes after the present."
-After.

-"Something I can do in the present."
-Find it.

Okay.

Oh, right.

This was struck by lightning too.
It's called byeokjomok.

Byeokjomok?

SU TAEKWONDO

Hello.

Mom!

-Mom!
-Mom!

Master, my mom is here.

-Hello.
-How are you?

-Great.
-Hey, this is my mom.

My mom works at a TV station.

-Take care.
-You too. Bye.

-Let's go, shall we?
-Yeah.

Are you not busy today?

No, I'm not busy.
Want to go eat something delicious?

Yeah.

Mom, in Korean class today,

I-jun cried about getting
a 90 on his dictation quiz.

I got a 50, but I didn't cry.

That's my boy.

-Don't eat too fast.
-Okay.

Would it upset him
if I asked him about Un-baek?


What?

Do you want water?

Does Un-baek like you?

I think so.

Do you like him too?

I think so.

I like you too, Mom.

I like you very much too, Gu-won.

But you're busy.

I only get a little time with you,

but this means
now I have to share it with him.

Gu-won.

No. I don't want to do that.

I don't want to share.

I'm sorry, Gu-won.

I didn't know...

that's how you felt.

Why didn't you know?

I can hear all your thoughts,

so how come you never know how I feel?

CAPTAIN

She won't text me back or come to the gym.

Honey, did you pack the samples?
We're going to the morning class.

Of course. And I set one aside
for Ms. Park, the singing teacher.

For God's sake.

It's inside out! Seriously.

Would it k*ll you to put it in the hamper?

-Mom, did you wash my sneakers?
-I'm busy, okay?

-Wash your own sneakers.
-Why didn't you tell me?

I could've taken them to the cleaners.

That's a waste of money.
Leave them! I'll do it tomorrow.

Mom, we got the eggs
and rice delivered from the grocery store.

I ate some of the eggs.

I ordered them to make jangjorim.

How many?
Don't tell me you ate half already.

You're making jangjorim?
Sounds good. Should I boil the eggs?

-You're going to crack them all...
-Listen.

Yes, Ki-baek. What is it?

Maybe we should take a family trip.

Huh? Trip? Where?

We can't afford a trip abroad.
How about the Gold Resort down south?

The Gold Resort? The one we saw earlier?

The place that costs
one million won a night?

Are you insane?
One million per night? Are you kidding?

-Let's go!
-Zip it!

Ki-baek. You can't squander the money
you worked so hard to make.

Ki-baek, I appreciate the gesture.

I've already made a reservation,
so let's go.

Cancel it. I'm not going.

-Mom.
-Mom! Come on!

When would we ever get to stay
at the Gold Resort?

What's up with Gu-won?
Did he and Yeon fight?

Don't know.
Yeon said she'd pick him up later.

It's the same for me and her.

Our kids are the source of our worries.

Didn't you say I was what you live for?
That's hurtful.

You are what I live for. I could never
leave behind a daughter like you.

I'll make you worry forever.

Good grief.

What a good daughter.

Here.

What's this?

The number of my most frequent customer.

She's been coloring and bleaching her hair

without realizing her hair has become
as ragged as corn silk.

She just asks for
whatever takes a long time.

When she comes, she stays all day long.

But she said she'd be going
somewhere far soon.

She won't be back for a long time.

So she won't be back.
Why did you ask for her number?

I'm fine because I have a daughter
I'll forever have to worry about.

Do whatever makes you feel better.

Did you see Dr. Kim?

-Yes.
-What did he say?

Well, things that you would expect.

So, Woo-ju.
What's troubling you so much this time

that you had to do all this laundry?

Oh, it's my birth mom's phone number.

Let me go get laundry too. I've got tons.

No, I'm tired.

Come sit down.

Do I feel this way because I'm angry?

Maybe.

But I barely remember her.
There's nothing to be angry about.

Yeah?

Am I just curious why she did it?

Maybe.

But what's the point?
It's all in the past.

-I'm happy with my life now.
-Then that's all that matters.

You're giving me half-hearted answers
because it's not your business.

Of course not. I'm concentrating
all my energy on my shoulder right now.

I don't know

why my heart feels so heavy.

If you let this pass,
it will eventually become nothing.

If you meet with her,
you may be able to find out

why your heart feels so heavy.

Whichever you choose,
I support you one hundred percent.

It's heavy. Move your head.

YOON JI-HU:
I QUIT MY JOB

Oh no, you'd better go.

No, it can wait.
It's not like it isn't a big deal.

Come on, you should go.

This is more important to me.

Are you crazy? You quit your job?

Hey, why are you yelling? You scared me.

Dad, Uncle Ki-baek, have this too.

-Wow, this is delicious-looking plastic.
-God.

Wow, it's good. You're the best, Sol.

As you know,

my wife quit her job a long time ago
to take care of Sol at the hospital,

and I can't afford her medical bills
with my pay.

So why did you quit?
How are you going to make money?

I should make money.

I have to make way more than I did.
That's why I went freelance.

Didn't you see what happened to me?
You could go broke.

You're the reason why I did it.
I can do it too.

Ji-hu, this is a terrible idea!

I'm willing to do anything.

So Ki-baek, I need you to help me.

I know it's a lot to ask,
but I've got nothing,

and I can't think about that right now.
I'm sorry.

Dad, I want to play in the ball pit.

-Go ahead, Sol. I'll be there in a minute.
-Okay.

Ki-baek.

Come with me to the mountains.

Mountains? Why?

Don't tell me...

I can't. I don't want to.

Do you want to see me go down?

If I join you, I'll make things worse.
Please believe me, okay?

Hey.

-Help me out.
-Oh, for God's sake.

Cancel all the high-profile jobs.

And find another studio.

Here he comes.

-I'm a fan. Could I have his autograph?
-I'm sorry.

-Can we please take a picture with him?
-I'm sorry. We're busy right now.

Come on, Jeong-heon.

It's not like
we're asking for a big favor.

I know, right?

-I just wanted a picture.
-I'll do it.

-What?
-Really?

Wow, I can't believe this.

Could you take a picture with us too?

One, two, three.

-Wow, thank you!
-Thank you.

Smoke with the window closed.

Mr. Kang.

I'm trying to catch a breath,
not suffocate to death.

You're part of
that public health campaign.

Should I just retire?

-We're going on a trip, not moving.
-Are we leaving now?

You can have the ends.

Why? These are for us anyway.

They're not for us.

What then?
Are you going to sell them on the highway?

Seriously.

I'll have to join you tomorrow morning.
I have a gig.

I know.

I have a meeting too,
so we're heading out after lunch.

Don't worry and take your time.

Drive safely.

I'm sorry I can't come with you today.

He has to keep himself apart
when he suggested the trip.

Listen. You can use this
when you guys eat or something.

-I can pay for our meals.
-Wow.

I'll just hold on to it.

No need. I've packed everything we need.

LIFE IN THE MOUNTAINS

Your mother is very generous.
And a good cook.

Thanks to her, we saved money on food.
Thank you.

-Thank you.
-Thank you for the food.

-Thank you.
-Please enjoy.

-Yeah.
-Thank you.

It had to be so much work
for your mom to make all this.

By the way,
there are no cucumbers in her gimbap.

Oh, you're right.

He doesn't eat cucumbers. Right?

Right.

-Hey, careful.
-What are you doing? Gross.

You're a big star.

I can't roll out the red carpet,
but I can do this.

So we're just staying
at their home for a night?

"A night in the woods
with innocent real-life mountain people."

That's our theme.

I'm counting on you. You're the closest
to a star among the three of us.

-Three?
-Yeah.

He said he had a gig in the morning
and would join us after.

Hello, guys!

Park Jin-bok!

After you guys fought, he faced
serious backlash and hit rock bottom.


He got kicked out of his group
and took a break.

Now he's a trot singer.

Jin-bok!

-Ki-baek, it's been a long time.
-Hi.

Last year's PN has returned as Jin-bok

Your best lucky charm, Park Jin-bok

-Wow, that was good.
-Great. Our lucky charm is here.

Let's go up
to the mountain dweller's home.

Okay, let's go!

Jin-bok is as cute as...

Be careful. He had a tough time,
and now he's all hyper on his gigs.

-He climbs the mountain...
-Jin-bok.

Wrong way.
Please change your clothes first.

Okey dokey!

He climbs the mountain with light steps
And his voice...


Dude, he scares me.

That's what we're supposed to do.

It's so white it's going to get dirty
with the smallest amount of work.

This is the uniform
of Life in the Mountains.

So it's intentional.

-All right, go ahead.
-Oh, okay.

Yeah.

-Oh. Hello.
-Hello.

THERAPEUTIC SOUNDS VOL. 2
SOUNDS OF NATURE

I always start my day listening to
the sounds of nature.

Wow.

I see.

He scared me.

The water deer eat all my potatoes.

Stop eating my damn food!

But aren't water deer active at night?

Hey.

Whether you're human or an animal,

when you're starving,
you don't care if it's lunch or dinner.

Hey. Water deer sound scary.

All right. We should probably eat first.

-Yes.
-Sure.

I already have the main dish prepared.

Tall guy, can you go get eggs
from the chicken coop?

The two of you, please pick some greens
from the hill behind the house.

Get a move on.

You're rather quiet.

What? Me? I guess I am.

Still, I hope this won't be boring.

Yes, right...

Hens with healthy ovaries start laying
eggs around 18 to 20 weeks of age,

producing approximately one egg per day.

Wow, they clearly seem mature, don't they?

I did it. I got one.

-I got two more!
-I knew he was the ace of the team.

Will we be able to air this?

He's swearing too much.
How can we edit it out?

Go away, you damn chickens!
I'm scared of chickens.

Look at him go.

That's how hard you have to try?
I had no idea.

Get away. I'm sorry.
You g*dd*mn chickens. I only took four.

He said he was going to cook,
but he hasn't started a fire.

Maybe he doesn't need heat.
It could be a salad.

I have an electric cooktop in the kitchen.

If you need to use it,
make sure you use the right pot.

-I thought you would use fire.
-You have to watch out for wildfires.

Wow, is this chicken soup?

Doesn't smell like chicken soup.
It smells familiar. What is it?

-Oh, curry!
-Ta-da.

Doesn't it look good?

The best part of fish is the head.

The eyes are a real delicacy,
so help yourselves.

What's wrong?

Guys.

I'm going in first.

-Wow.
-Good, right?

I just made this. Give it a taste.

I thought you'd be crushing the food,
but you're barely nibbling.

He always eats slowly
and in small quantities.

Really? That's a surprise.

I didn't mean it like that, Ji-hu.

It's okay. I know I look like
I'd eat a ton of food in no time.

No, that's not true.

When he first joined JBC,
he was thinner than me.

Really? Whoa.

If that's how you eat, what happened?
Is there a story?

My daughter can't eat much food.

And? Did you eat all the food
she didn't finish?

She simply doesn't want to eat.

Perhaps because she's been taking
so much strong medicine.

She has trouble digesting,
and she never has an appetite.

But whenever she saw me eating,
she'd come and take a bite.

So I started eating things
that I wanted her to eat.

Actually, this weight came from
all kinds of healthy food.

Hey, you're a good dad.

Now I want to be a successful dad,
but it's challenging.

Thank you.

Was Mr. Shin okay with it?

It's all good.
He'll edit out the part about Sol.

I actually think people
would like to hear about Sol.

It's nothing bad.
It made you look really warm-hearted.

That's just from our perspective.

When Sol becomes a teenager,

she might not like that
I talked about her on TV.

When it comes to Sol,
he becomes unbelievably wise.

Do you think
we're doing enough for the show?

Ki-baek in the chicken coop
was the only funny part.

You think so?

Speaking of which,
should we get in the water?

What?

There are two types of water
in variety shows.

Water to drink, water to jump into.

What? Wait, Ji-hu.
That's a little over-the-top.

Mr. Shin! I'll go in.

Where? What? Why?

-Here.
-No, no. Don't do it.

Bad idea?

Hey. No! Get back here.

Don't do it.

No, you went in that chicken coop
with that face

and swore at those chickens!

-I have to try harder!
-Come here before I swear at you too!

Okay.

Go into the water? Are you kidding?

Ki-baek, do you have
another job tomorrow morning?

Oh, it's a family trip.

Wow. You guys are family men.

This is actually my first time
taking a trip with my entire family.

Really? Your mom must be thrilled.

She says it's a waste of money.
You know my mom.

Mom!

You look so nice today.

God.

You said you didn't want to go.

Just put these in the car.

Oh, I forgot about this. My gosh.

Hey, Yu-jeong.

You look so beautiful today,
like Audrey Hepburn.

What? Oh, my goodness.

Today isn't that big of a deal.

It is a big deal. All five of us are
going on a trip for the first time.

Have fun.

I'll drive. You couldn't sleep last night
because of your knee.

It's okay. I can do it.

I'll do it. You can drive us home.

-See you.
-See you, guys.

YOUR BEAUTIFUL SKIN
ENTRUST IT TO CHAM BEAUTY

All right! Let's go!
We're almost there, guys!

Come on, let's go.

-We never get tired! Let's go!
-Let's go.

Oh, man.

God, I'm exhausted.

Mr. Shin, did you get some good scenes?

Yeah. It was great.

You looked like a sloth.

-Really?
-Yeah.

I guess it was funny.

-Let's take a short break, guys.
-Okay.

This is what Mr. Mountain Man
was talking about.

Wow, it looks amazing.

He said it's a jujube tree
struck by lightning.

This was struck by lightning too.

It's called byeokjomok.

Yeah, it's a byeokjomok.

It's a surprise no one has cut it down.

Huh? Why would anyone cut it down?

This is the strongest wood in the world.

"A bolt from the blue has made me strong."

"I am no longer..."

"I am no longer afraid
of unexpected storms."

You scared me.

I wrote that. What do you think?

-Isn't it awesome?
-It sounds familiar.

You're right.

-It's something I read somewhere.
-Right? You got me.

There are so many trees here.

You think it knew
it would be hit by lightning?

It's not like it could've run away
even if it knew.

Right.

Still, it was struck by lightning
and turned into Iron Man.

It worked out for the better.

After my business failed,

I moved here thinking everything was over.

But somehow...

I'm still alive and well.

You never know what will happen in life.

I was worried sick
about Ki-baek for days, and now?

Goodness. I never thought I'd have
a stroke of good luck like this.

This isn't a stroke of good luck.

The universe is rewarding you
for your hard work for the last 30 years.

You think so?

You're right.

Well, while I'm being rewarded,
I wish I'd get a vacation too.

Of course.

Don't lift a finger when we get there.
We'll do everything.

Really?

I'll cook.

I'll do the dishes.

I love you, Yu-jeong.

Yeah, I love you too.

Boy, this is so exciting.

That's right! I should enjoy
some luxury for a change.

I got rid of everything.

I got rid of my phone, my TV,
and everything else when I moved here.

But in the end...

I couldn't give up Wi-Fi.

I don't think you gave up a thing.

You don't have to give up everything
to live in the mountains.

Right? It's your life.
You can live it however you want.

Whether you're hit by lightning
or with a storm,

you just fight hard to survive.

You know, there's a saying.

"Don't be afraid of the storm
that can't be stopped."

"Learn how to dance in the rain instead."

Should we dance, then?

Let's do it.

For the kind of storm we're weathering,
we've got to really shake it.

Mr. Shin, I'm going to dance.

Oh, sure.

He's trying to get more screen time.
Aren't you tired?

No.

You look like a dancing sloth.

Really?

Jin-bok, are you asleep?

-Sing if you have nothing better to do.
-No.

Oh, I know you!

-You're... PN!
-Yes.

Should I play the instrumental?

No. He won an award for a song.

"Look At That." Sing that one.

Why did you do that?

I sit by the stream all alone

When greens start to sprout

And the spring breeze ruffles the water

You said...

My mom said this to me.

You made such a promise

Are you that happy? You never sing.

What? Why can't I sing?

Endlessly

-I'm just saying you're really good.
-What?

Really?

Don't tease me.
I'm going to take singing lessons.

Sure.

She said that because
good fortune is too far away from us,


we shouldn't dream about catching it.

Wish we had more of your mom's gimbap.

Yeah, me too.

And we can't do anything
about the misfortune


that blindsides us.

All we can do is just accept it.

But life goes on.

Life is just about living each day.

That's how you live your life.
