Please take your seats as the performance will begin in 15 minutes.
Welcome to yukgomu,
a Korean classical drum dance by the Seoul International Art Troupe.
In case of emergency,
emergency exits are located on either side of the theater and in the back.
During the performance, please refrain from eating.
Mom, didn't you pack my new dance shoes?
I only have what I used for practice.
I told you to get them from the shoe cabinet.
But I asked you to put them in my bag!
I need them for today's show!
That's right! I'm sorry.
I've been so busy at work. It slipped my mind.
Because you always put your work before me.
I'm sorry, In Young. Next time...
Whatever. I have to go now.
You'll do great...
[CLIENT SHIN YE BIN]
Hi, Ms. Shin!
I'm just a few minutes away.
One minute to curtain.
It's time, ma'am.
Please sit back and enjoy yukgomu.
[MOM]
[IT'S OKAY!]
[ONE YEAR LATER]
Okay, one more wear!
[YOUNGWOON HIGH SCHOOL]
What's this?
Didn't shower again? Your hair looks greasy.
And your hair looks like a lego hairpiece.
- Warm, isn't it? - Sure.
- You sprayed cologne on it? - Smells nice, right?
Not to me. It's tacky.
Just keep it on.
Just so we're clear, I'm not that cold.
People tend to see things subjectively,
and that's what you're doing.
You thought I'd be cold because you feel cold.
But I don't want to argue, so I'll allow it.
That was a mouthful. So you're gonna wear it?
- Yup. - Let's go.
And you wonder why your costume is tight.
Hey, I'm still a growing young woman.
I'll take those if you're done.
Na Ri, how are you so thin when you eat so much?
How?
Beats me.
Woah.
Look at her. Her mouth is huge.
She eats so much.
That's enough for two.
- How come she's so thin? - It's all tucked away.
She'd better have rolls of fat hidden in those clothes.
I'm done.
Na Ri's so lucky. Such a great dancer, too.
She has to be good, since her mom's so strict.
It's sad, really.
Right. Let's just be average. I'm happy with average.
I'm so full.
Then why won't you stop eating?
Because it's lonely.
What are you doing?
I don't like carrots.
Screw you.
I ate all your bean sprouts back in kindergarten.
- You liked them. - Yeah, but I liked you more.
Eat up.
What's the date today?
Rotten little!
Huh? Did she just call me rotten?
Are you okay?
Do you feel sick?
- Get lost. - Uh-huh.
- I'll get pooping, then. - In Young.
You'd better not blab about this.
Oh.
We'll see. Gotta go.
- Did you hear? - What?
Oh In Young is freeloading off the company.
What? She's on a scholarship?
- That's crazy. - That's what I heard.
You didn't know?
They pay for kids from single-parent families.
In Young isn't from a single-parent family. Her mom died last year.
- Doesn't she have a dad? - Never did.
Really?
Well, I know she's here for free.
- Doesn't she know that's unfair? - The rest of us have to pay.
She's not even good enough to major in dance.
- Neither are you. - None of us are.
Na Ri's the only exception.
We won't have to see her in a month.
Seniors are too busy with college prep to perform.
It's still unfair that she gets to be here with us for free.
Isn't it, Na Ri?
I'm jealous of her, actually.
You're jealous of her? Why?
I wish my mom would disappear too. Then I won't have to listen to her nagging.
Let's just go warm up.
Ow!
Oh In Young, what's wrong with you?
- She tripped you on purpose? - What?
I'm just a freeloader minding my own business.
Look.
This is a serious performing arts company.
Don't go bullying the girls who actually pay to be here.
They shouldn't talk about people behind their backs.
I guess having no money means no manners too.
I tried learning through YouTube, but I guess it didn't work.
Enough!
Friends shouldn't fight, right?
Friends?
Let's go.
Yes, come in.
You asked for me, Madam Chairwoman?
Let's drop the formalities when it's just us.
Sure, ma'am.
How's their show coming along?
I think we'll need to extend practice hours.
It can't be easy to prepare for a 60th anniversary show.
I can't tell you how happy I am to have you here.
You're too kind.
In all my years here,
I've never seen a better, more diligent dancer.
The same goes still, as our choreographer.
Thank you for your kind words.
So I've been thinking...
Why don't you take on the arts director position as well?
Me, ma'am?
You're our chief choreographer, and I know you'll do wonderfully.
Pace your breaths! Don't rush!
Excuse me.
I'll see the sticks today.
But we haven't practiced sticks much yet...
Right away.
Hwang Seung Yeon, straighten your back and arms.
Ko Ji Eun, deep breaths.
Kim Mi Kyung, hold your frame pose.
Oh In Young, can't you keep tempo?
Again.
One at a time.
In Young, smiling won't help if you can't stick the pose.
- Yes, ma'am. - Next.
Next.
Have some respect for your role as center.
Again.
Again!
We'll do sticks instead of the six drums.
A repertoire of sticks and sogo drums will do.
But it's so sudden...
Any lacking routines will be pulled from the show.
What?
But we've been working so hard for months...
Diligence doesn't excuse the lack of skill or talent.
The Chairwoman always selects the program...
I've discussed it with her. You'll run things by me now.
I'll review the repertoire again when you're ready.
What if we miss her again this week?
I don't know what to do...
[SOCIAL SERVICES]
We can wait some more.
- Let's call it a night. - All right.
Sheesh.
Makes me take out the trash this late...
She could've done it earlier.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Thank you. Come again.
- There you are. - Evidently.
What brings you here today?
Do you have anything for stress?
Of course, kiddo. We've got it all.
- What's this? - Presto.
[PINKFONG VITA-C] Isn't this for kids?
Precisely.
Huh?
Works like a charm.
Turns frowns upside-down. Don't knock it till you've tried it.
Why do I bother...
How much?
For a VIP customer like you...
500 won.
- What's the mark-up? - Trade secret.
500 won, I'd bet.
You can't buy them by the piece, though.
It's a special promotion.
Can I have my tab, please?
November 23rd. 500 won.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Something on your mind?
Do you have anything like this?
Something that'll make me sleep and wake up 20 years later.
Of course we do, but it's expensive.
How much is it?
Trade secret.
That's your answer to everything.
I'll take another one of these.
Then how about two for the price of one?
- Deal of the day. - You're just making it up now.
Gotta sell the pills to pay the bills.
You and your corny jokes.
- 500 won. - Put it on the tab.
- Don't go. I'm bored. - Not my problem.
I can't play "bored" games by myself.
You'll laugh at that one when you get home!
Excuse me!
In Young?
He's still awake...
I don't want to do this,
but we rely on the rent income.
You're still so young...
You should go live with your relatives instead.
I need the unit vacant by next week.
[BUYER: DO YOU TAKE OFFERS?]
[NEW OFFER ON WOOD LAMP]
Wait, but...
Okay, take it.
Okay.
I'll only charge 600 won since it's expired.
There you go! Okay!
That's all for today. Great job.
Thank you.
Are you dating Park Do Yoon?
Why would I date my friend?
Then can she date him?
You like Do Yoon?
I'm considering it.
- I thought you liked him. - Why?
- You always eat together. - That means we're dating?
Maybe not, but it means there's something.
Ji Eun. Seung Yeon.
You're staying late today?
Na Ri, can we join your private lesson this weekend?
Maybe...
I'll have to ask the teacher.
We'll stay out of your way.
Fine.
- Thank you! - Bye. Have fun!
Ow, that hurts.
Do you want snacks later?
How about tteokbokki?
- Doesn't Na Ri look like those dolls? - Which ones?
The ones in music boxes that can twirl for hours.
Yeah, she doesn't seem human sometimes.
What's happening?
Surprise! We just came to hang.
- Come on! - Why'd you turn off the lights?
- My mom's at some dinner. - Mine went to the sauna.
Did you guys hear that story?
What story?
About the ghost that haunts our arts building...
A ghost?
Years ago, there was a girl who danced as well as Na Ri...
She was always the best, which made the 2nd best jealous.
Hey, why do I have to be the 2nd best dancer?
- Don't break the flow. - Anyway...
The number 2 dancer was so consumed with envy...
She devised an evil plan to keep the other girl from dancing.
Necromancy.
Chop!
The number 1 dancer ends up losing a foot in an accident.
Unable to dance ever again, the dancer took her own life.
That's when her ghost began appearing in this very building.
Searching for a foot that fits so she can dance again!
Don't take my feet! I'm not even that good!
I told you she'd fall for it!
Huh?
- You all played a joke on me? - Yup.
- You fell for it too, right? - I couldn't help it.
That was good.
Wait...
I think I see the ghost...
Gosh, I almost got caught.
Why are they still here? I'm starving!
- Mr. Park! - Hello, ma'am.
Good evening.
I'm sorry for bothering you.
- And thank you, as always. - No, thank you.
We'll be on our way, ma'am.
Sure.
Good night.
What are you doing here?
Would...
Would you like a bite?
What's going on?
Well...
I hadn't had dinner yet...
Not that. Why are you sleeping here?
Oh... Because I have nowhere else to go.
What happened to your home?
I got kicked out.
What about relatives?
That doesn't mean you can sneak around living here.
I'm sorry.
How long has it been?
- A week. - A whole week!
And without getting caught.
It was pretty damn...
Pretty hard.
Wait here.
[MOTHER - LEE YEON HWA] [DECEASED]
She can't be...
Grab your bags.
Ms. Hwang!
Yes?
It's just...
I have a few more things...
That's it for this room.
Isn't that company property?
It's mine. Perfect place to hide it, don't you think?
Ms. Hwang, where are we going?
It's getting late. You can stay at a hotel.
Minors aren't allowed.
Then go to a sauna.
They'll kick me out after 10. Same goes for internet and comic book cafes.
Don't you have any friends you can sleep over with?
I have one, but he's a boy. Is that okay?
Believe me, there's nowhere better than the studio.
I can get a bit fussy about my sleeping conditions.
Hard water makes me break out,
and even the click of a light switch wakes me up.
I'm really fine sleeping at the studio now.
I don't want to bother anyone, so let's head back.
U-turn, U-turn!
Pipe down!
Just for two to three days while I figure this out.
The two of us for that long?
Why is the passcode so long?
If you can't remember, you'll be locked out.
Woah!
Where's my room?
Follow me.
Oh, wow.
Wow!
You must be rich! You have your own studio!
It'll be easier for both of us if you stay down here.
This will be better than the locker room.
Oh, this is just perfect.
A few rules.
First, stay only in the spaces that I've allowed.
Second, don't do anything while you're staying here.
- I was wondering... - Lastly, no questions.
Do you wipe these mirrors all by yourself?
Gosh, they're spotless. How do you do it every day?
How do you talk so much?
Oh, that?
That's what my mom used to say too,
that I'd sink mouth-first if I fell into the water.
To chat with the fish.
Ms. Hwang?
What now?
Where's the bathroom?
What a clean freak.
What is this, a pharmacy?
Okay.
Feels just like home. Empty.
What are you doing?
Just getting some water.
Shouldn't you be at school?
It's Saturday.
Don't you eat any real food?
What is it?
Why would anyone drink that?
Jeez.
Didn't anyone tell you that carbs are the key to happiness?
You don't even eat, which is why they call you a wit...
A witch?
You knew?
Can you wipe that before it stains?
Sure!
What are you doing?
- It's almost time. - Time for?
For the meat lover's box to expire...
60, 59, 58...
- Welcome! - Welcome!
[MEATLOVER'S LUNCH BOX]
This expires in 50 seconds, you know...
I'm fine with that.
Okay.
- Would you like a receipt? - No thanks.
Thank you.
Damn it.
[SHRIMP LUNCH BOX]
What's this?
My treat.
The most expensive one, too.
Hell yeah!
- Oh, hi! - Hello!
Why are there so many lunch boxes today?
That's the order you put in.
See for yourself.
Park Do Yoon!
You put an extra zero on the order, didn't you!
Nope, it wasn't me. I've never put in orders.
What do we do now?
I'd help you if I could, but I'm broke now.
- Let's split it. - Okay.
Sure! We'll split it.
Good!
What's this?
It's yours if you agree to take it out of my tab.
I'm allergic to shrimp.
Take some pills, then. Look around you.
No, I can't eat shrimp. Let me switch.
Picky customer.
Fine, but just this once!
Nice.
Grilled eel? That's too fatty.
Just take what I give you!
You're scaring me, kid.
What's all this?
Did you hijack a delivery truck?
There was a problem and I'm fixing it.
I can't remember if it's my fault or his...
Is this the guy that I know?
Yup.
You've got a little thing with Do Yoon, don't you?
What are you talking about?
You're not denying it. I knew it.
Where's Do Yoon? I need to have a talk with him.
He's out selling his share somewhere.
Where have you been these days? Are you buying from some other pharmacy?
Something came up. I'm staying elsewhere.
- Where? - Just somewhere.
- The witch's castle. - What's that?
There's a certain crabby, frigid, and heartless witch...
She never married and lives alone in an old castle.
She endures her loneliness by tormenting the sweet princess.
Wait a minute, please.
And you're this sweet princess?
Is that a problem?
Not my kind of main character.
- I can't focus. - Whatever.
How much is left on my tab now?
I got paid today.
Yeah? It's 157,500 won.
I'll take off the 500.
Then...
I'll pay you next month.
Stop by if you need antacids for those lunch boxes!
Yes?
Gosh, Seol Ah?
I can come back later.
Don't mind me. I have to get going.
Hey. Why aren't you wearing the scarf I got you?
I picked a great color for you.
I didn't feel comfortable taking one.
Still as fussy as always.
I'll stop by again. Don't work yourself too hard.
All right. It's nice seeing my old students together again.
You'll be at her thank-you party meeting later?
Sure.
See you then.
- Lovely seeing you, ma'am. - You too.
Come by again.
Is the show coming along?
Yes. I'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
Still quite the perfectionist, Ms. Hwang.
That's enough for today.
The girls seem a bit more nervous today.
We'll extend practice hours over winter break.
Yes, ma'am.
I have an important announcement.
To ensure optimal performance, individual auditions will be held next week.
Those who fail to qualify will not be on stage.
Make sure to come prepared.
You had to drop the knife...
We're out of the show if we fail the audition?
- That's what she said. - What do we do?
If we can't even dance for our last show...
Don't waste time worrying and just practice.
Director Hwang, why the sudden auditions?
Individual skill is crucial to a group performance.
But won't the failed girls feel discouraged?
Is that mindset really in their best interests?
I won't put anyone on stage who isn't fully prepared.
But, ma'am...
Hello?
Ms. Hwang Seol Ah?
This is Kangseo District's Child and Youth Welfare.
Yes?
Since the minor you asked about has no legal guardian,
she's obligated to enter foster care.
We've been struggling to reach her for some time.
Why aren't you heading home?
Well, I thought I'd go with you.
Get in.
What?
Oh, nothing.
I'll take you to the station.
Why?
I have plans. You go on home.
Oh...
- The passcode... - I remember.
198012121004.
You said I'd be locked out if I couldn't remember.
Drive safely and don't stay out too late.
Why don't we do it on the evening after the show?
Sounds good.
I'll prepare the invitations and take care of the costs.
It's the least I can do for my Na Ri's company, right?
Wouldn't expect less from our generous leader.
The Chairwoman will be so touched.
That settles everything, right?
- Sure does. - Sounds great.
Hye Jeong, I heard your daughter won the competition again.
- It's no big deal. - I'm jealous.
Must be nice to have a kid you don't have to nag.
I hear she's just like Seol Ah in her younger days.
Such a hard worker and always taking center stage.
If she's half as good as Seol Ah, what more could I want?
This is so tasty.
Do you really want your kid to be like Seol Ah?
What do you mean?
Honestly, I never envied a thing about her besides her talent.
I knew too well the efforts she made to stay at the top.
What's wrong with that?
Have you ever seen Seol Ah genuinely smiling on stage?
Yeon Hwa was the one who always looked happy.
She wasn't as good as Seol Ah, but she truly loved to dance.
- Who's Yeon Hwa? - You remember.
The girl that had to quit because she couldn't afford it.
- The one who died last year? - She did?
I have to head back to the office.
Well, we know how busy you are.
Go ahead.
- That's a shame. - Isn't it Hye Jeong's birthday soon?
- That's right! - Tell us what you want.
Oh, I'm fine.
- What are you doing? - Oh!
Making dinner.
Who told you to do this?
Just try a bite or two, Ms. Hwang.
Come on!
I told you not to do anything.
I'm sorry.
It's your birthday, so I just wanted to make you dinner.
How is it?
Not bad.
Right?
The one thing I can make is a good birthday soup.
I always made it for Mom's birthday.
- How did you know my birthday? - From your messenger profile.
Come on, try some of these.
It's great with rice.
It's no birthday without some rice.
A full belly helps you feel alive.
A life of green juice and pills is hardly living.
Ms. Hwang!
How about a blind date?
- A blind date? - That's right.
I know a handsome and business-savvy pharmacist.
Never mind and eat.
Just think about it.
Come on, eat up! Eating healthy starts with eating hearty.
Stop nagging me.
I'm just voicing my concern for your well-being.
Go downstairs if you're done.
No, I'll sit with you. It's your birthday.
You never just go along, do you?
Fine. Call me when you're done. I'll do the dishes.
Take your time, okay? Chew a lot.
Dunking rice in the soup and slurping helps.
Slurp!
What's all that?
Today's supposed to be my last day here.
Since the minor has no legal guardian, she's obligated to enter foster care.
- Leave the bags for now. - Huh?
I'm still looking into it, so leave the bags.
Are you sick?
Headache.
Wanna try one?
It works like a charm.
Turns frowns upside-down every time.
Just leave it there.
What is it?
Can't we listen to some fun music for a bit?
What music?
Such unique taste...
Pull yourselves together.
Your performance could be the one show of a person's lifetime.
Again.
Ko Ji Eun.
Switch with Oh In Young.
Ma'am?
Again.
Good work. That's all for today.
Thank you, ma'am.
- Hello. - Yeah.
Why do they hate me for being poor and parent-less?
Wait, who hates you?
Just some kids.
You think that's why they dislike you?
Why else?
People can be strange.
They get jealous of you for never gaining weight...
Or if you look happy even when you're helpless.
I don't understand why, but they do.
Dong Wook.
- What can I take for this? - For what?
For erasing my memory after a really bad day.
Of course.
It can cause dizziness at times, but it'll reset your memory to the beginning.
Comes in a green bottle.
A few gulps and you'll forget all your worries, but they don't sell it to minors.
Life is so unfair for kids.
How so?
We're just as stressed as adults, but we have to take it.
It's not as effective as the green bottle stuff, but I might have something that'll work.
I'm sick of vitamins.
It's not that.
I've never seen a kid who didn't smile at this.
I have one too sometimes.
No good?
Why would you give me this on a day like this?
Whenever I got sick,
my mom would give me a lollipop like this.
You can't go around acting like you know everything!
Now I can't stop thinking of her, because of your stupid candy...
All I did was get angry at her.
Even that last day, too.
Never got to say sorry.
Why did you have to...
Why would you give this to me now?
[OH IN YOUNG]
Do you know how late...
Pardon?
- Welcome. - Excuse me.
I'm here for In Young...
The witch!
Pardon?
In Young's over there.
Would you like one?
Thank you.
And one of these?
She cried a lot earlier.
She must've been struggling.
They say parting is quick for those who leave, but it never ends for the ones left behind.
Looks like she's still saying goodbye to her mom.
Holding it in wouldn't do her any good.
Better to cry it out at a pharmacy, I guess.
I'm glad she has someone to depend on.
I couldn't do anything for her.
She's not one to show it, but I'm sure she's very grateful.
You gave her a place to sleep. Food to eat.
- When did you get here? - Did she make you cry?
- Are you here for meds? - Mom had too many lunch boxes.
You're really not eating?
Isn't this your favorite? Just eat up.
Why do you dance, In Young?
Because it made Mom happy.
She had to quit because she couldn't afford it.
You know that, right? She said you were friends.
Yes.
I think that's why she wanted me to keep dancing.
But you don't like it?
Oh, I like dancing.
But it doesn't matter now since I'm quitting.
I'm not going to major in dance like the others.
I just want to become a grown-up soon.
Why is that?
Because I'll be able to do whatever I want, and no one will tell me that I shouldn't.
It's no different for adults.
We can't do much of anything the way we'd like either.
That's a shame.
But you're already capable of making your own choices.
You just don't know what you want yet.
If you like to dance, give it your all.
Keep trying until you have no regrets,
and if that doesn't work, then you can quit.
Will I be better if I try?
Maybe.
But you'll be better than if you didn't try at all.
Why do you work so hard at everything?
Because it makes my mom happy.
My mom said you were really impressive.
I think you still are.
Thanks.
Ready to go?
Don't get lazy over break.
You'll be back as seniors, so get ready.
Yes, sir!
Can't wait, huh?
- Don't get into trouble! - Yes, sir!
Okay. Class president?
- Class dismissed! - Thank you!
[HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE WINTER BREAK]
What's going on?
- They'll come back a couple. - In Young is so lucky.
We might try the pants...
And this group...
Let's get this confirmed.
Yes!
I guess it's not bad.
[LEE YEON HWA]
I'll do my best.
Next, Oh In Young.
Yes.
That'll do.
Big improvement, In Young.
Thank you!
Next, Choi Na Ri.
Na Ri, what's the matter? Shake off the nerves.
Enough.
- I'll start over. - No.
- Ms. Hwang! - Everyone gets one chance.
Would you start over if this happened on stage?
That one chance is why skill is crucial.
The audience knows when a dancer is distracted.
That's a lesson I hope you learn.
You're done.
Next, Ko Ji Eun.
- Let's invite In Young. - Sure.
She might have work, but let's ask.
In Young, what are you up to today?
- Do you have to work? - No. Why?
Come eat tteokbokki with us.
I thought you two didn't like me.
Of course not, we're all friends.
- You're such flip-floppers. - Water under the bridge.
- Come with us. My treat. - Let's go.
Isn't Na Ri going?
No, she doesn't eat snacks.
Hey, Ji Eun! Seung Yeon!
What's with you two?
What? You don't like tteokbokki.
Since when?
I love tteokbokki. You know I love to eat.
But you'll throw up after.
We know you throw up to pretend you're naturally thin.
You told them.
You act all nice while backstabbing people.
Whatever you say.
Why is everything a joke to you?
Why is everything such a big deal to you?
Because you're freeloading off the rest of us.
- Where's your self-respect? - Don't have any.
But what's your excuse for being so bitter?
I'm not bitter, you asshole.
I get that you don't like me.
I'm a poor freeloader and that pisses you off.
But why do you even care?
Just being in the same place as you bothers me.
Not because you screwed up?
Yeah, Na Ri.
Are you scared In Young might take your spot?
What did you say?
You two hardly exist in this company, so watch it!
That's rich when you're only here thanks to your mom.
You used to kiss up to me for it, and now you switched!
Get over yourself, Na Ri. You're a wreck.
What?
You're the ones who can't dance for shit.
It's no use trying to talk to a snob like you.
I feel sorry for you.
Ow!
You feel sorry for me?
Yeah, because your excuses are so childish.
You can't even be honest and say you don't like me!
What would you know? You don't know anything, you're clueless!
At least I know what I want to say.
You have no right to say that to me!
Ow!
You bitch!
- Na Ri! - Let go!
Get off me!
Let go of me!
Just stop it!
Since we were done with auditions today,
I was gonna grab a snack with Ji Eun and In Young.
Na Ri messed up her audition and was upset all day...
We couldn't approach her or ask her to come.
I just...
I thought they excluded me because I messed up...
We weren't leaving her out.
Everyone just wants to do well.
I got my first compliment today...
Everyone seemed on edge recently.
We're all scared to be left out of the show.
Maybe it's because we're all worried and nervous.
It must be hard being center stage.
You always have to be good. Never be bad.
It must be a heavy burden.
I really wanted to do well...
I'm so sorry.
I apologize, ma'am.
All the girls said they wanted to do well.
Does the problem lie in our desires?
Or in our ways?
Don't you worry. I'll take care of it.
They can't pull you from the show because of a girl like that.
What could they possibly achieve without you?
- It was my fault. - What?
It's all my fault.
How is it your fault?
No. Even if you had done something wrong,
a worthless girl like that has no place in the company.
What's so great about it?
Is it that big a deal?
What's gotten into you?
I hate living in a world you made for me.
Na Ri!
I want to lead my own life.
I worked hard to make you happy, but I don't know anymore.
You think you could've come this far on your own?
You became the best because I supported you.
I put up with it because I felt sorry for you.
What?
You told me you never got to be the center because of Ms. Hwang.
But you're still on the sidelines.
You're just living as a wife and a mother instead!
What else is there?
After everything I sacrificed for you all these years?
That was for your own satisfaction!
Why are you forcing me to do something you couldn't?
I'm your daughter, not someone who has to take your place.
Every time you talk like this, I feel like I'm suffocating.
Just let me be!
[MOM]
Hey, Choi Na Ri!
What brings you here?
Jeez, you still have that tight ponytail.
Leave me alone. Get lost.
You gonna let her talk to you like that?
Fuck, no.
Get up, bitch.
Get up!
Just leave me alone and get lost.
You've got some nerve...
Where are you going, huh?
- Get back here... - Hey!
What are you doing?
Who the hell are you?
Her friend.
What is this?
Beat it before I beat the crap out of you.
Choi Na Ri!
Does your mom still hand out shopping bags?
What?
Hey!
It's not fair to jump us all at once!
Take turns or something!
What a joke!
Good cardio, though.
What was that?
Aren't you good at fighting?
No, I'm really bad.
Then why'd you butt in?
Well...
I thought maybe I could scare them off.
Hey, why do you hate me so much?
You're pretty, dance well, and have a rich mom.
It's just...
I'm jealous you get to live however you want.
You look carefree and confident.
Like you're the only happy person around.
I'm just pretending.
You have no idea how lonely it is to be me.
How come?
Doesn't Park Do Yoon like you?
Do you like him?
Are you insane? Of course not.
Well, I kind of do.
But you said you don't!
Gotta play hard to get at first.
Ugh!
Gosh, I'm starving!
Ugh...
Me too.
Jeez.
Your hair!
Don't make me laugh. It hurts.
Ma'am, I will take the penalty for this incident.
Could you consider letting the girls have this show?
Seol Ah.
Yes, ma'am?
What would you say caused this mess?
So...
I have something to say.
I'm really sorry.
I'm so sorry I was such a jerk.
I'm sorry too.
How about you two?
Come on.
Why are we suddenly apologizing?
Then what? Would you rather cancel the show and see Ms. Hwang leave?
You two can be pretty fake, but you're not bad people.
- Sorry. - Same.
I'm sorry too.
Sorry.
We can only spread joy when we ourselves are joyful.
It's better to go hand in hand than to rush ahead alone.
Hold onto that sentiment as you continue to guide them.
I will, ma'am.
Yes?
M-Madam Chairwoman!
So...
Na Ri has something to say!
Ma'am, I...
It's all our fault. Ms. Hwang did nothing wrong.
She's right. It's all on us.
We would really like for Ms. Hwang to stay.
Yes, please.
You've taught them well, I see.
So about our show...
Shouldn't you be practicing with the show days ahead?
- Thank you! - Thank you!
- Let's go! - Hurry!
Just like the silent moon drifting across the night
I used to feel so alone
But then I'd gaze up toward that shining light
Go on.
And let it guide me With its glow
Let myself forget my worries and fears
Keep going.
Let it all just wash away
Because I know deep down I can go wherever
I can be whoever, whatever I wish to be
So I'll make my own path ever so free
I'll believe in me
On the cold nights, early light, even the brightest days
Just like the moon who keeps her place
Just like her endless journey
I'll keep on this path to becoming me
Check that first.
- Hi there. - Hello.
- They're beautiful. - Look at my Ji Eun!
Curtain's up soon. Why aren't you ready?
Here, I'll do your brows.
Thank you, Ms. Hwang.
For what?
Just...
Everything.
You're always the center of wherever you are.
Enjoy it.
As long as you're happy, the people watching will be too.
Don't cry. You'll ruin your makeup.
Okay.
Five minutes to curtain. Head to the back once you're ready.
Yes, ma'am.
Welcome to Seoul International Arts.
Thank you all for joining us in celebrating our 60th anniversary.
We have a special show prepared for you tonight.
The final showcase of the young students of our dance company.
They've trained long and hard to cultivate their talents.
Please receive them with your kind support
as they realize their dreams through unwavering dedication.
And please welcome them with a warm round of applause.
Jeez!
You should knock!
Why would I knock in my own home?
And why don't I get breakfast?
You don't eat breakfast.
I do now. Hurry up.
With Spam.
Ms. Hwang.
You're filling out a bit these days.
Shouldn't you take care of that?
I have a fast metabolism.
Can't we eat at the table for once?
You know this is child labor?
You're not a child anymore.
I'm to blame.
Why'd I let you be my legal guardian...
Try the soup first. It tastes just right.
Stop eating just Spam! How many times do I have to nag you?
I can't hear with your yapping!
Aw, come on!
Shame on you.
He takes interest in the female.
The male lion in heat approaches the female lion.
The female receives him.
You shouldn't be watching TV while you eat.
After all this time...
What's for breakfast tomorrow?
I'm leaving early for my first day of school!
Fine.
Then I'll make myself a fried egg with some ketchup.
How are things with Dong Wook, the pharmacist?
- I don't date younger men. - Oh?
[WOOKIE]
What? Dong Wook...
Wookie, huh?
And you weren't gonna tell me?
You have a boyfriend too!
I told you, he's not my boyfriend!
You held hands.
You kissed?
- You kissed! - No, it's not like that.
When?
- No, that's not... - When was it?
- Come on! - When did you smooch?
- Wookie, wookie! - Smoochy!
You smooched, didn't you?
When, where, how? Spill it.
Let myself forget my worries and fears
Let it all just wash away
Because I know deep down I can go wherever
I can be whoever, whatever I wish to be
So I'll make my own path ever so free
I'll believe in me
Trust this path beneath my feet
I often find myself facing a world unknown
But I know I'll be okay
Because I know my passion guides my way
The bright promise of hope leads me on
Though this journey may take more than a beat
I know we'll reach the end someday
Because I know deep down I can go wherever
I can be whoever, whatever I wish to be
So I'll make my own path ever so free
I'll believe in me
On the cold nights, early light, even the brightest days
Just like the moon who keeps her place
Just like her endless journey
I'll keep on this path to becoming me
Because I know deep down I can go wherever
I can be whoever I wish to be
I can already see her soaring ahead of me
So I'll make my own path ever so free
I'll believe in me
I'll do it for me
I'll become the me of my dreams
