(Episode 7)
Where is that sound coming from?
I'm sure they said people don't use pagers anymore.
How can it ring?
The number you have dialed is not in the directory.
2, 2, 1, 9, 8. What is this number?
- Let's go. - Hey, you...
Let's go, go, go.
I'm Woo Seung. I will win in the end.
Are you crazy? What's with you?
Up until a bit ago, I felt terrible,
but I'm feeling better now. I have won in this battle...
against myself.
Goodness.
Wait, if you won a battle against yourself, that means you lost.
Stop nitpicking. You get what I mean.
It's a done deal anyway.
I decided to be positive.
That was a quick changeover.
Anyway, I'm glad you're doing that.
That's that.
I'll have to pay him back.
Pay him back? Pay who back?
(Freedom)
What's this? This is more than 20 years old.
- Where did you get this? - From him.
The only person who would give me this.
What's up with her? Stop her.
- Stop. - Hey.
- Woo Seung! - Hey!
You'll get hurt. Hey, stop.
- Stop her. - Hey.
Gosh, my neck.
You always try to hit people with that. That's attempted murder.
He's right. Someone could get hurt.
Attempted murder?
You tried to kill me with a 20-year-old chocolate bar.
Seriously, you went too far with that one.
I didn't do it on purpose.
He probably didn't.
So what?
Because I ate it, I ruined the exam that I've been preparing for...
for a whole year.
How will you pay me back?
That's right. She worked really hard for that exam.
I had a ton of those chocolate bars.
But nothing happened to me.
You're right.
Why do you keep switching sides?
Whose side are you on?
I'm not on any side.
You should've used the bathroom before the exam.
There wouldn't have been a problem if you did that. Don't you think?
How can you possibly say that?
Please be quiet.
Hey, MC Drill. Hey!
I don't think he's breathing.
Someone do a mouth-to-mouth.
Why are you looking at me?
You hit him, so you do it.
Just let him die.
Why did I move into this dump?
Drill! Drill!
Is he really dead?
Hey.
Mal Sook, eat slowly.
Nobody's coming after you.
I've been thinking.
I think I was a monk in my past life.
What? A monk? Why?
Because I like meat so much.
Maybe it's because I couldn't eat meat in my past life.
How can you eat greasy food in the morning?
I just can.
Great. Eat more.
What are you doing? Why are you picking at your food?
What? No, I'm eating.
What is it this time?
Well, since yesterday he kept saying he saw Hyun...
He's seeing things.
Goodness.
You should drink less. You're getting old.
You can't drink like you used to.
It's not because of drinking.
And I'm not that old.
I'm Lee Soon Tae.
I made it this far with my guts and fists.
That's me, Lee Soon Tae.
By the way, something strange happened to me in the loft.
The loft? What happened?
Well, I experienced it a few times already.
Someone other than Ji Hoon is living there...
secretly.
- Mommy! - Gosh.
You scared me. Why are you so scared?
A person? Someone is living there?
Who'd live there other than me?
Exactly. She's just a kid.
Why are you taking it so seriously?
I'm serious. It's real.
You said beepers don't work these days.
Beepers went out of service.
Even doctors and nurses use cellphones instead.
Where did you get such an antique from?
Why did it beep then?
How would I know?
Maybe...
it was sad, like me.
Are you both going out?
- Yes. - But you both failed.
Why bother.
- Hey. - Hey.
I mean, you two are working too hard.
Are you going to the academy?
Yes. I have no other choice.
You? Are you going to the agency?
What else can I do? I have to go.
By the way, how did Ji Hoon do on his monthly evaluation?
He got a fixed spot for a debut team.
- Really? - Yes.
I didn't cry when I joined the military.
But when I heard his rap...
Military?
You served in the military?
No.
I just imagined it.
I haven't gone yet.
I'm late. I have to go congratulate Ji Hoon.
Bye.
Good for him.
Well, he's the better one out of the three of us.
What's up?
Are you feeling better?
Hey, I'm MC Drill.
Failure makes me stronger.
You're very positive about yourself.
Ji Hoon, no, Singer Lee.
Don't forget me even when you make it big.
Wait for me in the debut team.
I'll be there soon.
They didn't even make an announcement yet. Don't jinx it.
Whatever.
All right. Attention.
- Hello. - Hello.
I know you're all working very hard.
Before your classes begin, I have an announcement to make.
You probably heard already,
but we're launching a new male idol group.
If your name gets called,
go to practice room 201.
You're in the debut team.
Drill.
Oh, my gosh.
Thank heavens! Thank you!
Take your headphones off.
I'm about to make an announcement.
- Dong Hyuk. - Yes.
- Dong Wook. - Yes.
- Joon Seok. - Yes.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
- Dong Gyu. - Yes.
And...
- Kevin. - Yes.
These five are the debut team.
People who got called,
get your stuff and gather in room 201.
- Bye. - Bye.
Why wasn't your name called?
Something must be wrong.
Don't you think so? You rapped so well yesterday.
Why didn't they call your name?
Something is seriously wrong.
Just stop it.
Why are you overreacting?
Ji Hoon.
What was that for?
Weren't you trying to kill yourself?
Why would I kill myself?
I heard you didn't make the debut team.
So I thought you were trying to die.
I guess you weren't.
Stop playing around.
You can't make the debut team or be a star if you die.
So you should live too.
Is that supposed to be consolation?
Come on. Why would I cheer you up?
You weren't good enough to make the debut team,
so people who were better than you got picked.
Who's cheering who up?
I don't waste my energy on something like that.
Hey.
I have to say,
you were pretty cool yesterday.
A little bit.
Gwang Jae!
Since you're here, please watch the store for a bit.
Why are you ordering me around?
"Order you around"?
I'm asking you.
You have a problem with the way you say things.
When you're asking someone for a favor,
you should explain your situation politely...
and then ask if they could help you.
I would like to do some yoga.
You have nothing to do in your office anyway,
so if it's not too much to ask,
I'd love to ask you to look after the store for a bit.
Bye now.
Why does that make me feel more upset?
Darn it. I should die early to stop seeing this...
Oh, I take that back.
I cancel that statement.
("Early Stages of Dementia Should be Actively Treated")
What? No, it can't be.
I'm still young. I don't have dementia.
But I want to keeping reading it.
(Fish, hiking, swimming, nuts, yoga are good for you.)
Hey.
This isn't what I'm looking for.
I mixed a future bass style similar to The Chainsmokers with hip-hop.
You don't like it?
The Chain... What?
If you don't like this, I can mix trap beats with dubstep...
I don't care about trap or anything like that.
Oh, if I boost up the lower frequencies...
I don't care what you boost up.
Something like that.
I'm not asking you to rewrite it.
Is it so hard to get the feeling right?
Which part don't you like in particular?
Listen to this.
Something like this. Don't you get it?
Come on, keep it up, Carrie.
I just want you to add a bit of spice to the melody I gave you.
Is that so hard?
Yes, sir.
Goodness.
Is that hard to do?
- Oh, you scared me! - Oh, my.
Who are you?
Como... What?
Hey, Mr. Choi. Who is this weird man?
Oh, I forgot to tell you. That's David who came to fix the chair.
Is he still there?
Hey, throw this chair away. Throw it out!
Sir, I fixed everything.
- I fixed your chair. - You speak Korean?
What's with everyone these days?
I practically gave him the song. What does he do as a producer?
Do I have to explain everything to him?
Did anyone come by while I was away?
- The repairman. - Not him.
Then no one.
Then...
who did this?
(I want this, a cell phone. I will have it someday!)
I'm so bored. So bored.
This thing doesn't get Wi-Fi.
No one is paging me anymore.
Well, I guess I have no means to check the message anyway.
This was the sweet spot.
("The Missing Yoo Hyun Jae's Car Found Empty by Lake Suryeon")
Lake Suryeon.
Where is this place?
I might remember something if I go there.
But it's not like I have any money. I can't go there.
Where did my money go?
It would be quite a lot even with the inflation.
(Southern Korea Music)
I'm sure all of my emergency money is gone.
Wait, could it still be here?
Hey, here it is.
I remember hiding some in here.
Please, please.
Yes.
This is super awesome! Thumbs up!
Yes, here you are.
Thank you, goodbye.
Why is this anchovy face calling me?
Yes, director.
Hey, it's me. I hope you weren't upset that day.
I didn't think we're close enough to get mad at each other.
Come on, CEO Lee. You're a bigger man than that.
I guess I wasn't that big of a man, then.
- Let's go with Bo Hee. - Go where?
- What? - I kept thinking about you.
So I will let her come on the show, okay?
Director, no, my friend.
Thank you so much.
- Will she be on "Burnt Youth"? - No, not that show.
It's a show called "Challenge Music Star." It's pretty popular.
We are in a hurry,
- but if you're okay... - Director.
I will never forget what you just did for me.
Come on, don't overreact. Okay, then. Goodbye.
What did he say? Did he say yes?
Of course, I called him.
Is Bo Hee really the talk of the town?
She's pretty popular as the Idiot Lady after the radio show.
The Idiot Lady?
I have no idea what you're saying. Anyway, I got her for you.
Anyway, how can Youn Son Ha's appendix burst before the show?
Back in the day, we'd still film even if someone's appendix popped.
That's why you have two of them.
I guess he is still a man of conscience.
So what is this "Challenge Music Star"?
What? Oh, right. I looked into it...
and it's pretty popular.
These singers come out and sing random songs with a karaoke machine.
You can win if you know a lot of songs.
Win?
If I win, can I be on it the week after?
Yes. If you win, you will be on the show no matter what.
Let's keep winning on the show and become a regular member.
Then should we practice now?
I don't need to practice.
I'll do as best as I can.
Sure, you can do as best as you can.
You know a lot of songs anyway.
I need at least 3,000 dollars for deposit to move out.
I can't do anything with what I have.
I can only go to the academy as Ji Hoon until this month.
So I have to pay for it starting next month.
There is no solution. No solution at all.
(You can't avoid my love)
Darn it, I got it wrong again.
My goodness.
- Are you coming home now? - I had work today.
Welcome, Ji Hoon.
That's random. What are you saying?
I can tell that you didn't make the debut team. No?
You're quick.
You're right. I didn't make it.
Welcome to the loser world.
I truly welcome you to this loser world,
filled with disappointments and failures.
You can't welcome me. I was always there.
Hey, this is all for your good. Stop wasting your money,
start studying, and go make some money.
You're talented when it comes to studying.
To be honest, I'm not sure.
Things don't work out the way I want it to.
If I was to think of my parents, it's right for me to give up.
My heart changes dozens of times a day.
Why are you so complicated?
It's been forever. Let's ride that.
Goodness, you really can't be serious, can you?
Get on it.
Okay, it's spinning now.
Hey, hey.
I really hate things like this.
- What do you think? Isn't this fun? - Come on.
It's not fun. I'm dizzy now. Darn it.
That's why you should keep yourself balanced.
It may seem like the world is shaking, but it's actually you.
I know you're making excuses because you aren't confident.
(World Entertainment)
Woo Seung.
Why are you here?
I get the best Wi-Fi signal in this room.
Still, the owner of this room isn't here.
And it's a girl's room too.
So what?
You should be grateful that a celebrity like me is staying here.
Celebrity?
Do you remember something?
No.
It's not like I remember something.
Tell me when you do.
Okay, you'll be the first to hear about the news.
My gosh.
What's going on? Why are you in my room?
I came to return this to you.
You really made yourself at home in here.
- Leave. - Gosh!
Gosh, let me stay here. This is the only place with good Wi-Fi.
Leave before I hit you.
Like this.
Hey, do you know Lake Suryeon by any chance?
Lake Suryeon?
- What is that? - Lake Suryeon.
I don't know.
Why aren't you leaving? I see you'll learn only after you get beaten up.
Like this.
Do you need money?
Everyone needs money.
I'll pay back all the money I owe you today.
Follow me.
To where?
Gosh.
Why is it closed?
Are you kidding me? Today's Saturday.
Exactly. So why is it closed when it's Saturday?
It's closed because it's Saturday.
What?
Banks aren't open on Saturdays?
I'm the idiot...
who trusted and followed you here.
Stop with your self-introduction.
Hey, I'll give you a part-time job.
What kind of work is it?
(Yoori Bank)
(Lake Suryeon, Paju, Gyeonggi-do)
Take me there.
Do you think I'm a taxi driver? What are you trying to pull?
Do you think I'm that easy?
This.
What about it?
(1,000 dollars)
It's a 1,000-dollar check.
Where did you get this from?
- Did you... - Do you realize my greatness now?
- steal it? - What?
What do you take me for? Whatever.
When the bank is open on Monday,
I'll pay you twice amount of your salary.
So take me there.
How will I trust that you'll pay me?
Read it now.
"If I don't pay Choi Woo Seung the money by next Monday,"
"I'll move out of the loft without any complaints."
Are you satisfied?
Okay.
What? What are you looking at?
I just remembered something.
You remember something?
What is it?
I...
hated someone like you the most.
I just remembered that.
You'll keep the promise, all right?
Are we fleeing for safety or something?
If this was the case,
we should've taken my car, not Bo Hee's.
You'll save your face if I accompany you.
That's why I'm going with you.
And you need someone to help Bo Hee with her makeup and fashion.
We'll impress the directors while we're at it.
Still, you can't just join like this.
Hey, we have enough time, right?
Let's stop by a store that sells lottery tickets on our way.
- Lottery tickets? - Yes.
I had a dream last night.
It was about a huge dragon breathing out fire.
I thought this must be what people call lucky dreams.
- You dreamed about a dragon. - Right.
Was a dog riding on that dragon by any chance?
Stop it. You're turning it into an unlucky dream now.
Anyway, let's stop by. Okay?
We don't have time for...
That dream.
Sell it to me.
- What? - That dragon dream.
Sell it to me.
It's too good to sell it.
You just sold it to me, okay?
All right. Take my lucky dream.
Maybe today's shooting will become something incredible.
It'll be all thanks to me...
if things work out successfully.
(Subway Map)
How many lines are there?
(Line 5, Line 6, Line 7, Line 8, Line 9)
There's even a Line Nine?
What is the Airport Railroad?
Here. It's the subway ticket.
Is this the subway ticket?
- This is awesome. - Hey.
Can you stop that tacky reaction? You're embarrassing me.
Is it embarrassing? Then...
- Thumbs up! - Stop that.
No one says those things these days.
They don't use "thumbs up" either?
No, I've never seen anyone using that word out loud before.
Okay, you don't use it anymore.
Also,
do something about that too.
Your belt is drooping like a snake.
You have no idea how trendy this is.
You know what? Forget it.
I shouldn't expect to talk about fashion with you.
Great. Let's stay quiet on our way.
Let's make it like we're on our separate ways.
She's so irritable.
Don't get me started. Her bare face is just terrible.
She's like a pig with glasses on.
My gosh, I can't believe it.
She deleted her selfie right after she posted on her social media.
I felt so sorry.
She's a nobody to be honest.
She better know where her place is.
Well, I have so much more to say about her, but I'll just stop here.
Whatever. Let's just not care.
Life is complicated as is.
I didn't understand anything she just said.
Was it even Korean?
Goodness.
Darn it.
Gosh, you startled me.
I told you not to get distracted and to follow me.
I didn't get distracted.
You're beautiful.
Everything's perfect.
I love it. You're so beautiful.
Great.
Will you stop pacing around? You're making things hectic.
Maybe it's because I'm nervous,
but I went to the restroom five times.
It's because you're eating so many nuts.
It's oily, so no wonder.
You'd never enjoyed eating nuts before,
but today, you're eating them all day long.
So what? I have my reason behind this.
Hello, Mr. Lee.
Hello, Ms. Lee.
Long time no see.
You're getting prettier every time I see you.
No way. I know I don't look nice now.
Still, thank you for your flattery.
Hello, Bo Hee. It's so nice to see you.
You're so pretty.
Thank you.
You're aware of the concept of the program, right?
Excuse me, miss.
- Yes? - You must not know well...
since you're inexperienced, but I'm the chairman of...
Korean Managers Association, Lee Soon Tae.
What do you mean inexperienced? She's the main scriptwriter.
Is she the main scriptwriter? Why is she so young then?
Well, that must be why.
You must know the group, J2.
I was their producer.
Haven't you heard of the CEO of World Entertainment, Lee Soon Tae?
Excuse me? Well, yes.
Did she even listen to what I said?
You'll be showing yoga poses as your talent during the show, right?
Yes, that's right.
By any chance, can you do something else?
Something else?
One of the guests today...
will pass through a tennis racket on his hands.
Another one of them will play the recorder with her feet.
That's hilarious. She'll play it with her feet?
That's hilarious.
Something intense like this...
will give you a higher chance to be broadcast.
I'm asking just in case.
- She's incredible in doing yoga. - Right.
I'll make sure she does her best for you to capture interesting scenes.
- Yes. - Right.
She's really great at cross-stitching.
- She's also great at drinking. - You're right.
We'll go with yoga.
- Please get ready. - Okay.
You can get enough air time with yoga, so don't worry.
Wait, Ms. Lee!
I'll give you 10 minutes.
Okay.
What?
I'll give you 10 minutes to look around.
Hey, part-timer. You're here to earn money.
Why are you doing things your way?
You should've come here on your own then.
Gosh, you're so snobby.
Fine.
We found popular singer Yoo Hyun Jae's last whereabouts.
Yesterday, a month after his disappearance,
his car was found...
near a lake in Paju.
Well,
1994 is in the past,
but to me, it's the future.
Why did I come here?
I went missing here in 1994.
And then I disappeared.
Why here? Why did I disappear?
Maybe I didn't disappear.
Maybe someone set it up so I'd disappear.
I came here with the worst person possible.
But it's so nice to be out here.
Why don't I send the poor trainee some beautiful pictures?
What should I do?
I'll wait for you forever.
Bo Hee?
Hong Bo Hee?
Hey! Mr. Thumbs Up!
Mr. Thumbs Up!
Mr. Thumbs Up! Help me!
- That idiot. - Mr. Thumbs Up!
Are you okay?
Somewhat.
You're all wet. Is it really all right?
I'm all right.
Not you. The cellphone.
- Gosh. - What?
I put my cellphone in your backpack.
Here it is.
Please.
You scared me. Why weren't you more careful?
Hey! A human life is more important than a cellphone.
I almost drowned.
So what? You look fine.
Gosh.
What is it?
- My contact lens got out. - What? Contact lens?
What do I do?
I'm blind without it.
Do you get it now?
Get what?
How important my tacky belt is?
Do you get it now?
Be quiet and keep walking.
Yes, sure.
