You can hear me, right?
Huidong residents, this is the head of your village.
It's already sweltering hot this morning.
Please beware of heatstroke.
Yesterday,
the grandson of Director Han from Han Deok-jin Veterinary Hospital…
You…
If you see him around town,
please give him a warm welcome.
I mean, you know…
Give him a nice pat on the back and that sort of thing.
If you can do that,
I believe that will make our village a happier place.
I hope everyone will have an exciting day today.
I'M HAN JI-YUL. I'LL COME BACK. LET'S BE SECRET FRIENDS AGAIN!
You don't even remember me. Secret friends, my foot.
Or do you mean you'll keep it a secret by not recognizing me?
For those who didn't hear it--
Honey!
-What? Why are you yelling? -This is the third time already!
Really? Well, then.
Do I need to get a bed?
Coffee…
I doubt they have any.
There's probably no gym either.
JI-YUL'S EXERCISE CLOTHES
These are still here?
Come on.
I told him to just wear them, not to save them.
Isn't that Director Han's grandson?
Yes, that's him.
You're him, right?
What a fair complexion. You're indeed from Seoul.
You look just like him.
Anyway, welcome to the village.
Come over here, quickly.
This is Director Han's grandson from Seoul.
-You're so handsome. -My gosh, you are so dashing!
-You're so good-looking. -Do you have a girlfriend?
-Let me set you up. -How long are you staying here?
I hope you'll stay a while.
My goodness, he's so young.
He's as handsome as they said he was.
He's from Seoul like his grandfather.
Why are you hitting that innocent wall?
What did it ever do to you?
Are you looking down on our village because it's old?
Why are you taking it out on the rock?
Our president is fuming from the fight she just had.
So don't mind her and be on your way.
Darn it! I'm so mad.
"An old village teeming with old people"?
Damn it! Just because you have a college, you think your town is younger?
All right, Park Mal-geum
of the Majeong Women's Association. Let's see about that.
Let's go all the way!
We'd beat them in a one-on-one fight. Aren't I right?
Of course.
Put that down. It's heavy.
Little morning workout?
-Yes. -Okay.
So tell me, doctor. Are you on our side or their side?
Pardon?
Are you related in any way to anyone from Majeong?
Majeong?
You're on our side.
Well, I'm not really…
Your grandparents live here.
You do your morning exercise here. So you belong here, am I right?
I should gather the Young Men's Association right away
to show them what the young blood of Huidong can do.
Right? Good.
Go on, keep jogging.
And don't beat up any more walls.
-You're one of us. -One of us.
-Let's go. -Sure.
Do you want some potatoes?
Who are you?
Hello.
I'm Kim Seon-dong, a second grader at Huidong Elementary School.
I live across from you.
My ball went over the wall.
-Well, have a good day. -Hey, wait.
Did you come in through the gate?
I remember locking it earlier. How did you get in?
I just put my hand through the gap and slide the latch.
-What was your name again? -Kim Seon-dong.
All right, Seon-dong.
In my opinion,
there are better ways, like ringing the doorbell or knocking.
Why did you open the gate and let yourself in?
Seon-dong.
There you are. Did the ball go over the wall again?
-You found it, so let's go. -Wait.
Seon-dong. Since you live across from me
and this might happen often, I should say this.
If your ball goes over the wall again, ring the bell or knock on the gate.
Then I'll get you the ball.
Walking into someone's house just because you know how to
can be much more dangerous than you think.
Okay?
No, I'm not scolding you.
Are you taking it out on a kid?
It's not like that…
You can play with the ball around here once Director Han comes back home.
Kim Seon-dong, say goodbye to him.
I have committed a grave sin.
Have a good day.
Well done.
Hey…
My grandma said it takes skill to say the right thing and sound so mean.
That man sure has that skill.
You're right. He's very skilled.
And he's not as handsome as people have been saying.
-And his style is wack. -I told you.
He just has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
You said that? When?
Let's go.
HAN DEOK-JIN VETERINARY HOSPITAL
Did you have a good night?
Come on, it's not time to open yet.
Diligence must run in your family.
Being too diligent can tire out your coworkers.
I came in early because it's my first day. Take your time.
I couldn't take my time if I wanted to.
Mr. Yang has been calling non-stop since a while ago.
Is there a scheduled appointment today?
Give me a second.
We can't start a day without a quick cup of morning coffee.
Coffee is something you drink in a classy manner.
Is this the only coffee you have here?
Are you worried we'll run out?
Have a look over there.
I've never let it run out since I started working here.
Maybe I should get a coffee machine first.
-Sorry? -What?
No, it's nothing.
So what was the appointment that you mentioned?
Yes, by the afternoon.
PIG VACCINATION MR. YANG'S
Hey, how are you?
The vaccination is today, right?
Come on, how could I forget?
I remember,
but you do know Director Han's grandson is coming this time, right?
He's a young man, so I figured that you might not need me.
Yes, there are a lot of pigs.
Right. Treating pigs is not the same as treating dogs.
But he'll be fine on his own. Do you really need me there too?
Is she saying she's going or not?
Well, okay.
-I'm not sure. -Okay.
-Do you want me to go? -What?
No, it's okay. I should go.
I'll be at Mr. Yang's.
I'll get you some coffee on the way back.
Mother pigs should be vaccinated three or four weeks before giving birth,
and female piglets, two months after birth and four weeks after that.
As for uncastrated male pigs…
Hello?
Hey, are you okay?
How could I be okay?
The last time I studied large animals was in college.
No wonder the cargo rack on this thing is so big.
The owner probably separated the ones that need to be vaccinated.
As for the vaccination itself, you're familiar with the process.
You can learn as you go, so just try to make it through the day.
It's easy for you to say, isn't it?
Yes, it really is. Later.
Seriously.
My goodness, you look just like your grandfather.
It's uncanny, my goodness.
Wasn't it hard to come here?
No, I'm fine.
You've come a long way, indeed.
I heard a lot about you from your grandfather.
You're so tall and handsome.
Your grandfather must be very proud.
These ones here and over there are getting vaccinated today.
It's not that many, right?
Gosh, you scared me.
You two haven't been introduced, right?
This is the vet from Seoul.
This is our Officer Ahn.
She always helps out with the vaccination.
I have a lot of pigs, so it takes all day to do it by myself.
Which is why I called.
I'm not even surprised anymore.
Does vaccinating animals fall under police duties?
She isn't just any police officer.
-Are you ready? -Of course.
Okay.
Alright, let's get this over with.
You haven't forgotten how to give them shots, have you?
I'm not exactly the type to forget things.
Besides, it's such a basic vaccination.
Is that right?
I haven't done large animal vaccinations since my college lab sessions,
so I'm just trying to be extra cautious…
Why am I even explaining this to a non-professional like you?
I know, right?
Didn't you apologize to me yesterday?
Did I?
No matter how I think about it, I don't think I've done anything wrong.
And I doubt this is the case either,
but did you get conned by someone who looked like me?
I mean, since yesterday--
-Yes! -Say what?
I did get conned by someone who looked like this.
But that person seems to have forgotten about it.
We have a lot of pigs here.
I, a non-professional, will fill up the syringes
and you, a professional, can administer the shots.
Let's get it over with.
Let's go, guys.
-What the heck are you doing? Hurry! -No.
-No, this way! -What…
Hey, wait! Here!
-Come on. -Over here.
Let's go.
No.
Let's go. Go back.
There you go.
There you go. Good job.
Give this one a shot.
Over the fence like this? Here we go.
-Well done. -This one too.
Hold still.
Good job.
-Right here! -Okay.
There you go.
Oh, boy.
Oh, my goodness. What a disaster.
I told you to watch out for the poop, weren't you listening?
It wasn't the poop.
I should have been watching out for something else.
You're not hurt, are you?
You're still standing, so you must be okay.
This stable work requires a lot of muscle power.
I get that you're from the city, but you're too weak.
A man's got to be strong.
No. Wait a minute. I'll get you some new gloves.
Jeez.
I know how to do a break-fall. You didn't have to catch me.
I'm sorry.
I was startled when you suddenly grabbed me.
It's kind of an occupational habit.
Where did those darn pigs go?
Shall we start with this one?
Oh, my.
I'll take those.
Thank you so much for your hard work.
Drink up, both of you.
Thank you.
The gratitude is all mine.
Do you want some nice, cold coffee?
No, I'm okay. I'm going to go get some now.
I see. You're going to the café?
Yes.
I'll be going now.
Call me if you need me again.
Thank you as always.
-See you. -Okay.
What about you, doctor? Would you like some coffee?
I'm okay.
-Thank you. -I see.
Wait.
What would you like to have?
-I'll have an espresso. -Okay.
-Hey. -Hi.
You're the vet from Seoul, right?
Director Han's grandson.
Right, I am.
I'm in charge of Huidong Young Men's Association
as well as the peach business.
I'm Lee Sang-hyeon.
-I'm Han Ji-yul. -Nice to meet you.
I saw you briefly yesterday too. You were in the police car.
Here's your coffee.
HIS PEACH FARM
That's me.
Hey, come take a look at this.
If you just got here yesterday,
she must be the person you've seen the most, right?
Yes, I guess.
Can I tell you something scary?
That face will be the one you see most often while you're here.
That's not good.
She doesn't seem to like my face too much.
Really?
Hey, when did you say this was robbed?
I saw it in there last night, but it was gone this morning.
They knew the money was here
and they knew there was a padlock on it, so they must have brought tools.
That means it must have been a local.
It makes no sense. There's really a thief in this town?
There are only old people here.
That's what I'm saying.
Do you know how much was in here?
When I checked yesterday, it was around 30,000 won.
I didn't get an exact count,
but it was around that much.
Don't you think it's too little to steal?
I heard you were suspected of this as soon as you arrived here.
-Yes. -Gosh, you're such a hothead.
Hey, does he really look like a petty thief to you?
I mean, it's not like thieves wear signs that say "I'm a thief."
I had probable cause.
It's okay. She's apologized enough.
She also made it very clear that she doesn't like my face.
You klutz. Let me see.
-Let me borrow your credit card. -What?
No, it hurts!
Are you crazy?
My bad, I thought it was my hand for a second.
What's wrong with you? That's so gross.
What do you mean, gross? It's sterilizing.
Thank you.
Please use that to pay for the coffee.
This is just a space made for our village folks to just swing by
and enjoy some beverages, so there's no card reader.
I'm from out of town, so I'll pay.
You really don't have to.
You don't know your way around here yet, do you?
If you need a guide…
It's okay.
Would you like some peaches then?
-They're super sweet-- -It's okay.
Have a good day.
Wow, he sure knows how to draw a line.
Is he mad at me for taking his card?
I think he's just like that.
So he doesn't like country folks.
He's kind of a jerk, but whatever. He won't be here long.
-Do you want some coffee? -Sure.
"His Peach Farm."
Is it that good?
I wouldn't know because I only drink instant coffee, but I hear it's tasty.
Even people from other villages come to buy some.
I wonder where the beans are from.
I don't know where the beans come from,
but Sang-hyeon roasts them himself. Our Young Men's Association president.
You must have met him there.
Ja-young's class partner.
There's really nothing he can't do.
He looks like a good guy, doesn't he?
Speaking of which, don't I look like a good person too?
Do I look like I'd con someone and not even remember?
Why? Did someone say you look like a scumbag?
Not exactly, but…
By the way, what's the deal with that Officer Ahn?
She seems to be everywhere.
Our Ja-young?
Officially, she is a police officer,
but she's pretty much a human civil complaint window.
She was born and raised in this town, so she's fiercely loyal to her hometown.
It's not easy to find young people like her these days.
She should be a politician.
So she's extraordinarily nosy?
When you put it like that, it gives a very different nuance.
She's a warm-hearted person
-who generously offers what she has… -Exactly.
She's nosy.
Is everyone in Seoul like you?
Hello?
Okay. I got it.
You'd better go.
But it's lunchtime.
What kind of country vet takes a regular lunch break?
There's a baby goat throwing a tantrum over colic.
Move it!
Some work environment.
I better buy a truck first.
So you didn't even see their face? Not even a little bit?
No.
I just saw a tall silhouette running away.
Someone who's tall…
What about the hair? Was it long or short? What was the color?
I don't know the color.
He was wearing a red bean-colored hat.
It didn't look like his hair was long.
My grandson worked part-time to save up that money.
And he gave it to me as pocket money.
My goodness. What do I do?
Officer Ahn, please catch him for me, okay?
Don't worry, ma'am. I promise I'll catch the thief.
Officer Ahn.
Did the old lady get home safely?
Yes.
And she didn't go to the field?
I made sure she didn't.
I think she's trying to recoup the stolen money.
Who could it be?
Considering the amount,
the culprit has to be a kid.
Exactly.
But there aren't many school kids who know this village that well.
Right. Red bean-colored hat.
-Sergeant Yoon. -Yes?
Head back without me. I'll look around a little more.
-Will you? Okay. -Yes.
-Have a good day. -You too.
Ja-young!
Come on, hurry!
-Seon-dong. -Hurry up!
-What? -Come on.
Hey, come here.
Ja-young, did I see a burglar?
I'm scared.
I'm right here. There's nothing to be scared of.
Thanks to you, we're going to catch a bad guy.
-Well done. -But I'm scared.
Wait. You're having fun right now, aren't you?
You can't.
Are you going in alone?
Uncle Geun-mo will be here soon.
So don't worry, and wait at home.
Go on, now!
Come on, get up.
Don't get hurt.
Of course not. Now go.
Go.
It's you this time?
Does everyone just come and go through this house as they please
as long as their arms are thin enough?
No, it's not that…
I told you if anything went over the wall, I'd get it--
Who are you?
Is this him? Get up!
You're…
Ju-ho's friend, right?
I'll take him outside first. Get up. Let's go.
Are you all right?
I've learned my lesson.
I'm not taking your hand.
I guess you haven't learned.
I agree.
Why do you hate this village so much?
I never said I hated it.
But come to think of it, I do hate it.
Have a good one.
Do you remember? My secret friend.
You mean that vet?
He doesn't even recognize me.
I remember everything.
-We are that close. -Hey.
Someone who keeps bothering you and makes you think about them, you know?
If he doesn't feel anything looking at a girl like Ja-young,
he's not really a man, is he?
