EXCHANGING LETTERS WITH FRIENDS MAILBOX OF LOVE
GRADE 3, CLASS 7, FRIENDSHIP MAILBOX
I doubt there are any for you.
- I'm so envious. - You got so many letters.
- How many did you get? - By the wayâ€¦
How many? Six? Twelve?
- I got 13. - Wow.
- Hey, Eun Gyehoon! - You got 12?
Are you happy that you got so many letters?
-Perhaps I am -You can't get me!
Dreaming.
It's a little embarrassing, but maybe
it's a happy dream.
No way.
MISSING CHILD EUN GYEYOUNG, AGE 10
It was probably the day
that I got the most letters in my life.
"Cheer up."
"I'll pray for you."
"Don't lose hope."
On that day, all those consoling words
made me feel nauseous,
and I ended up only remembering two of the letters.
One of them wasâ€¦
To my brother Eun Gyehoon from Eun Gyeyoung.
I know you told on Mom that I skipped my piano lesson.
I'm very angry, but I'll forgive you.
However, there are a few conditions.
First. Don't ever tell on me again.
Second. If I get scolded by Mom and Dad, take my side no matter what.
Third.
The letter that Gyeyoung wrote me before she disappeared.
And another letter.
I have something to confess.
You really have to keep this a secret.
The day Gyeyoung disappearedâ€¦
Actuallyâ€¦
Someone'sâ€¦ confession.
CONFESSION
Why did I dream that?
The bodyâ€¦
disappeared.
Did you find what you were looking for?
Did this guyâ€¦ move it?
No.
What really happened?
Did you hear what I said?
Well, nothing happened. The thing is thatâ€¦
I was walking by, and your store door was opened.
So I came inside to check up on it, but it's fine
and now that you're here too, I'll get going...
You want me to believe that lie?
Yes.
Ms. Noh.
Maybe I'm on your side.
Seriously, what happened?
EPISODE 3
Is your husband competing in the Olympics?
Why does he exercise so hard?
I have no idea. Perhaps he's having a midlife crisis. He's odd these days.
It's better than being weak and frail.
Stop wasting time looking at him, and look over there.
My goodness.
You're sweating so much.
- Would you like some water? - No thank you.
- Some misu shake? - No.
- Juice? - Bread?
- No thank you. - If you need anything living hereâ€¦
- I'm fine. - There's a free aerobics class at night.
- I'm not going. - Here you go.
-Thank you, -Oh come on.
But it's okay. See you later.
- Waitâ€¦ Young man! - Juiceâ€¦
Young man, just drink one cup!
He's the rudest of all, for sure.
Don't worry about your mom at all.
She said the flowers are beautiful that butterflies will fly over.
She's still young at heart.
Thank you, Aunt.
Thanks to you, I don't have to worry about being here.
Your mom throws a fuss at you because she's sick, not because she hates you.
Her mind is ill. You know that, right?
Yes, I do. Of course.
Okay. Take care.
Bye.
This is your place?
Completely moving out?
I'll go back and forth from my mom's.
It's also an employee lounge. Feel free to use it.
You want me to rest here?
That's like saying,
"Skip class and have fun in the teachers' office."
Be quiet.
How can youâ€¦
Why is he making me rest here?
I don't want toâ€¦
Oh, check out this view.
Gyehoon, you can see the entire alley.
Wake up! Aren't you going to eat breakfast?
Not eating.
I set up the table a long time ago. You're still sleeping? Hey!
I didn't get any sleep last night and just fell asleep.
Why does she keep locking the door?
The rice and soup are getting cold, you brat!
I don't feel like eating!
Sleep more after eating. Eat!
- Eat! - Jeez.
I told you that the soup is getting cold!
I'm going to knock the door down!
Hey, get up. I said, get up!
Get up! Hey!
Get up and come out while I'm still being nice.
- Seriously, you brat. - Okay.
- I'm up. I said, I'm up! - Hey!
Gosh, seriously. That darn food!
Gyehoon, are you really her stalker?
- No. - Yes, you are.
No, I am not. I've never opened this window before,
and I had no idea who lived in front of me.
- So it's a coincidence? - Of course.
Who checks who the neighbors are before renting a place? Of course, I...
Some people do check before they rent a place.
Who?
Stalkers.
He shouldn't be doing this.
Hey.
You said the rice was ready a long time ago.
You said the soup is all cold now!
Delicious steamed rice is now ready.
- Please stir it well. - It says it's ready now.
Since that dayâ€¦
my entire family had developed trauma.
I'll leave the package in front of your door.
Why is he delivering so early in the morning?
He's so diligent. How nice.
That's true. It's admirable that he's working hard.
We've also become afraid
of being arrested at any moment.
I can't keep living like this anymore.
We have to put an end to this right away.
I'll get it back from that sly chef...
That's not necessary. It's not there anyway.
What's not there?
The refrigerator?
No. That guyâ€¦
disappeared.
What?
The refrigerator is empty.
How would you know that?
Because I opened it.
When? Tell us. How?
I snuck in last night and opened it...
- Mom. - How is that you have no fear?
You snuck in there in the middle of the night? On top of it, by yourself?
But nothing happened. Why did you hit me?
What nonsense! Should I just kill you?
Just kill me then. I'm an eyesore to you anyway.
Is that right? Fine. Let's do that. Great.
Stop it. Grandma!
How can you have an appetite after that?
You told me to eat, Mom.
And I can always eat whenever and under any circumstance.
- That's just how I am. I can't help it. - Are you proud of it?
No, I'm not. It's just how I am.
Shameless. Who does she take after?
Who else, but you?
Seriously, you brat!
Gosh, be quiet. That's enough.
You, you, and me. Even if we combined all our intelligence,
it still isn't as good as one person's. So what should we do then?
Should we continue to fight like this or combine our strengths?
Answer me!
- Combine our strengths. - Combineâ€¦
Come and eat now.
So we must think carefully
step by step.
The body disappearedâ€¦
The body disappeared?
Unless we're all having the same dream, it must beâ€¦
- Jinhoo. Taste this. - Yes?
- It's hot. - Either that guy moved it
or someone else did.
- Good. - Okay.
Gyehoon, I think I have superpowers now.
I can feel things like you.
Ever since we came to this neighborhood, something changed.
How should I describe it? It feels like the dead cells in my body are awake.
I feel like people keep watching us.
It's like we're trapped inside of a jail with constant surveillance.
It's like The Truman Show.
Gosh.
Even now, they're all looking at us.
It's because we're walking around like this.
Jeez, get off of me.
But this neighborhood is scary.
- By the way, I have a question for you. - Don't ask.
Is that Wi-Fi girl from the stew place
really your long-lost sister?
Is that really the case? She's your sister?
I don't think she is.
But she could be.
There is always a chance.
But ifâ€¦
she isn't Gyeyoungâ€¦
how did I sense all those feelings?
Why don't you confirm it?
You can just ask her directly or go run some tests.
- I'm afraid. - That she might not be your sister?
That she might be your sister?
Or both?
Perhaps.
Does she look a bit like her?
What did your sister look like?
When we were kids, we made fun of each other saying the other was ugly.
But objectively speaking, she was pretty.
More than anything, she was smart.
Although she was very timid, she was always cheerful.
Our relatives and elders in the neighborhood
said she looked so neat and elegant even though she's a kid...
What?
Why are you staring at me?
I'm not sure.
MOTHER'S TASTE CHOONOK STEW
Darn it.
Those women are suspicious indeed.
Are they?
Oh, right. Ma'am.
Do they visit our patrol unit for fun?
The entire family came by to turn themselves in.
But in the end, they said they just stopped by.
- Does that make sense to you? - Is that the case?
- Ma'am. - Make sure you show me respect.
Yes, ma'am.
Jihwa Apartment, Jihwa 3-ro.
A woman's scream next door.
"A woman's scream next door. Domestic violence."
- Are you available? - It's near.
Turn right next.
This is patrol 11. Report number 852. We'll go.
Ma'am!
Is anyone inside?
Ma'am!
I said, you're mistaken.
We received a report, so we must check.
How many times do I have to tell you?
Nothing happened. I'm home alone.
If you need our help discreetly,
can you nod gently?
No, I don't. Please leave.
Please go on.
Excuse us. We're going to check.
Nothing is going on!
- Who are you guys? - We're the police.
We came to check after receiving a call. We ask for your cooperation.
- Did you call them? - No, I didn't.
I guess something did happen.
Come on, don't do that.
I said, nothing is going on. Please leave now.
Officer Ji, you stay out of it.
Look, sir.
Look, police lady.
I'm not a "police lady." Please call me officer.
I think
there has been a misunderstanding.
Any unnecessary physical contact should be done to me.
What are you doing? Why don't you dress properly, rookie?
I'm sorry, ma'am. It's a habit not to put on clothes after showering.
I'm aware of that habit.
- Can you move out of my way? - Sure.
For cases like earlier,
is there anything else we can do?
Domestic violence can't be punished over objection,
so if the victim doesn't want to punish the offender,
there is nothing we can do.
Why isn't she reporting him?
She doesn't trust the law.
By the way, we're off duty tomorrow. Do you have plans, ma'am?
I don't have any plans,
but my credo is not to spend time with subordinates.
So no thanks to eating or going out for drinks.
- I guess you seek people with power. - Yes, very, extremely so.
I'm a very ambitious woman.
I'm heading out now.
Bye, ma'am.
MOTHER'S TASTE CHOONOK STEW
You came to spy on us again?
No, I just came to eat. I missed a home-cooked meal.
Wow, it looks delicious.
What? It doesn't taste good?
It does. It's good.
By the way, where is your daughter?
Why? So you can harass her again?
No, I want to get to know her.
There aren't many people my age around here, so it's nice to see her.
And I'm supposed to believe pigs can fly?
Ma'am, I have a question for you.
Yes, go ahead.
Have you seen him before?
Let's see.
He does look a little familiar. Right, Mom?
Yes, he does.
Butâ€¦ maybe not.
You're right.
Who is he? Does he owe you money?
He's my younger brother.
Did he run away from home or something?
I suddenly lost touch with him.
I'm sorry we couldn't be of much help.
We have so many customers that come and go
that we can't remember everyone.
It doesn't look like you have that many customers.
Pardon?
How much is the bill?
Sure, yes. It's 24,000 won.
- Insert your credit card. - Okay.
Did you enjoy the food?
I can't say it was good even if I wanted to be polite.
It tasted like you didn't use any MSG.
That's right. I cook the food as if I'm feeding my own child.
If that's the case, you should put in a little more effort.
It was a little problematic.
The stir-fried spicy pork had the smell of freezer burn,
and you generously put all sorts of herbs in the boiled pork wraps for good health.
You shouldn't have.
I'd rather take herbal medicine if that was the case.
And how did you steam the mung bean sprouts?
Please take your card.
Please throw away the receipt.
You just need to quickly blanch the sprouts in boiling water.
Sure, sure.
- Just quickly. Not too long. - Okay, go on.
LEE JINGEUN
Hello?
Hello...
The phone is switched off.
Transferring to voicemail...
Oh, my.
- I'm sorry. - Are you all right?
You're so kind.
Don't mention it.
You're so pretty.
You're totally my type.
I'm sorry. I went too far when we just met, right? I'm sorry.
It's okay.
- Bye then. - Bye.
Bye.
She's right. I'm so pretty.
So prettyâ€¦
MOTHER'S TASTE CHOONOK STEW
Jeez, the police are everywhere.
Those women are suspicious indeed.
Hello.
You know who I am, right?
You came to the patrol unit a lot.
We saw each other so often.
Right?
I know you can hear everything.
Pardon me. I just need to talk to you brieflyâ€¦
Why is she always anxious? It's annoying.
If you were attacked
by someone like I was,
what would you do?
If this happened to my younger sister,
that attacker would've died by my hand.
Gosh, why are you doing this to me?
I'm just checking to see if you're okay since you're making me worry.
Am I? Why?
It's not common for the entire family to visit the patrol unit.
Oh, my! I thought that was quite common.
I believe the patrol unit is like a guest lounge,
a very welcoming place for the citizens...
I can tell from your eyes that you're lying.
Are you interrogating me?
No, I'm just greeting you.
I see. That was enough of a greeting. See you later.
Wait a minute.
- I apologize if I offended you or... - Are you all right?
- Is he the one? - Pardon?
- Who the heck are you? - Is he the one?
Can't you hear me? Who the heck are you?
What do you think you're doing?
What did I do? Do you even know who I am?
- It's not what you think. - You're afraid of him. You're scaring her!
No, it's not like that!
He's a policeman. We were just saying hello.
He misunderstands and doubts people easily.
Apologize to the police officer now.
- But I... - Do it now.
I apologize too. I'm sorry.
This was clearly assault.
I misunderstood the situation since you were being suspicious,
but I apologize.
It's not common to feel upset after receiving an apology.
My name is Eun Gyehoon.
Eun Gyehoon, I see.
No thanks.
Apology not accepted.
- See you around again. - Bye.
Well, I'll get going too.
Hey.
What's wrong with you? Why do you meddle in my affairs?
You really don't know? I was trying to help...
After helping, did you think that I'd be impressed
and fall for you like in a soap opera?
- That's not the case. - What a relief.
What did you say?
Keep your word.
Don't let your heart flutter and fall for me
or like me like in soaps.
Jeez, why would I like you?
I like you.
Look here! Look at me!
I like you.
I did like you. I did, butâ€¦
Did you just dump me saying I shouldn't like you anymore? You're so heartless.
What am I saying?
I knew you were lying.
I meant it,
but since you're rejecting me like this, I'll let you go. I'll stop liking you.
Make sure you keep your word. Even if going forward, Iâ€¦
Even if I mistake you for my sister andâ€¦
â€¦treat you well, don't like me. Ever.
- Okay, got it. - Promise.
I promise. Satisfied?
Yes. See you later then.
MOTHER'S TASTE CHOONOK STEW
I can't live being so anxious like this.
She didn't really know anything.
But if the police keep coming here and we talk to them,
we'll get nervous and end up making a mistake.
That's true.
Should we send her abroad?
Or should all three of us go?
I'll be fine with that, but how will you argue abroad?
You won't be able to communicate.
Why is life so difficult?
Darn it.

The body disappeared?
Either that guy moved it
or someone else did.
Or if not,
that body walked out alive.
MOTHER'S TASTE CHOONOK STEW
I couldn't sleep, so I snuck out a bottle of soju.
I couldn't sleep either.
Wellâ€¦
Do youâ€¦
need a snack to go with it?
Iâ€¦
Just in case, let me make it clear.
Don't fall for me because I cook for you...
I won't fall for you or like you. Okay?
Okay.
The phlorotannins found in seaweed are good for insomnia.
Oh, I see. Thank you for the food.
Thatâ€¦
Gosh, it's cold.
No need to be formal.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
- Is it good? - It's so soft.
- Pardon? - I said, it's so soft.
I'm really curious.
Why are you doing all this for me?
I'm testing the menu items that I'm preparing,
and I also want to get a good night's sleep.
Because someone has trouble sleeping, I can't sleep either.
- So I'm trying to help them. - Pardon?
You wouldn't understand.
I thought about it, but the fact
that you're cooking such heartfelt dishes for me...
You promised. Even if I treat you so well...
I won't fall for you or like you. But...
But what?
But it seems strange from my perspective.
Then how about this reason?
It just came to my mind.
Jeez, that's ridiculous.
A long time ago,
I owed a friend five packs of ramyeon.
I ended up only remembering two of the letters.
Third.
Cook ramyeon for me when I'm hungry five times.
Fourth. Bring an umbrella when it's raining.
Promise me, okay?
Cook ramyeon for her when she's hungry five times.
Butâ€¦
now I'll never be able to do it for her,
and perhaps I'm doing it for you instead.
I see.
That's why we shouldn't take people for granted.
You're right.
- Grandma. - My goodness. Studying is tough, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
The chef of that restaurant over there
doesn't seem like a bad person.
He wouldn't move a body out of the refrigerator.
What happened to you wasn't because you were a bad person either.
That's true.
- I'll be back. - Okay.
Take an umbrella.
Based on your knee or the weather forecast?
- From Good Morning News. - I'm not taking it then.
I said, take one.
Jeez.
- No dieting for you, sir? - No.
Do you know how many calories tteokbokki has?
Keep that information to yourself. I'd rather not know.
You can burn it off.
Officer Ji, you said you do jujitsu?
WOMAN IN HER TWENTIES STRANGLED TO DEATH
Yes, just a little.
Are you guysâ€¦
- dating? - Already?
- No, sir. - No, sir.
Officer Ji, have you lost your mind?
I used to do that for my ex-girlfriend. I'm sorry.
Did you see the news article on Geumdo Villa?
It was a murder per the autopsy.
The case in which the woman living alone was found dead.
They're coming out!
They haven't narrowed down the suspects,
but they're searching through the people she knew and ex-convicts.
But that's not our unit's work.
Right. We shouldn't worry about it.
But still...
Darn it. I need to interrogate that punk.
- "That punk"? - You don't need to know.
Don't accuse the wrong person.
"The wrong person"?
You guys don't know?
A long time ago. A very long time ago,
a murder took place in this neighborhood.
Not a murder, a missing person's case.
A child disappeared and we couldn't even find the body.
Clearly, it was a murder case.
- It's an unsolved case. - Gosh.
At the time, there was a prime suspect.
He had no alibi and it was certain that he did it,
but we didn't have conclusive evidence, so we let him go.
He was the culprit.
Are you serious?
The most notable thing is that the culprit still lives in this neighborhood,
shamelessly living his life acting like "catch me if you can."
Right before my eyes.
Andâ€¦
right before your eyes.
Why don't we finish up?
Sure. Go ahead and eat.
The cost of ingredients and labor is very high.
If possible, I don't want to sacrifice on ingredients.
Try to think of a way to increase profits even a little bit based on this.
I've done some research.
- Already? - Not work. About the girl.
Do you think she's really your sister?
Don't you dare do anything I didn't ask.
So I asked her.
My birthday? It's October 19th.
Are you sure?
Do you remember you were born that day? Are you sure about that?
No.
What are you two, dumb and dumber? What about you?
Do you remember when you were born?
Gyehoon, it's raining hard.
The Wi-Fi girl didn't even take an umbrella.
I saw her earlier.
They both don't carry around umbrellas.
FOUR SEASONS PIANO
Bring an umbrella next time. I couldn't even go to the arcade because of you.
I'm going to tell Mom you're playing video games again.
I won't give it to you then.
Hey, wait for me!
Fourth.
Bring an umbrella when it's raining.
Gosh, I should've listened to Grandma.
I just happened to be walking by.
But you haveâ€¦
two umbrellas.
It's Jinhoo's. Gosh, that kid.
By any chanceâ€¦
I won't fall for you or like you. Okay?
Okay.
Well, thank you.
Go on home.
Oh, no.
I'm sorry.
Wait for me!
I have something to confess.
You really have to keep this a secret.
One more time.
The day Gyeyoung disappearedâ€¦

MIJIN REAL ESTATE
A murder case?
What was that area called again?
It happened in the area that Dahyun moved out to live alone.
My goodness. How terrible.
Whoever it is should be stoned to death.
This is what you refer to as a blessing in disguise.
A blessing in disguise?
You were so upset when Dahyun got fired and came back home.
The heavens helped her after all.
What if she had kept working and lived in that area?
Who knows what could've happened to her?
That makes sense.
- She got lucky. - Yes.
What nonsense are you babbling away?
What? Did we say something wrong?
Yes, you did. What you said is wrong.
What did I say?
Dahyun didn't get fired. She is just switching industries.
"You need a big playing field to be successful. This field is too small.
Mom, I want to pursue something greater." "Sure, go for it!"
That's why she's taking a break.
So that she can gear up for something greater.
Don't babble away nonsense without knowing what's going on.
Ninth grade civil servant isn't okay. Seventh grade isn't okay either.
Get fifth grade. That's the highest, right?
- Mom. - You quit to do something greater.
So that's what you'll need to do. Now go prep for it.
What are you doing? Go study more instead of doing this!
Aren't you going?
I won't take the exam. I'm not good enough for it.
Why not?
You even got a job offer from a large corporation. Be confident!
- I lied. - Sure, you lied...
- What did you say? - I was a contractor, not a full-timer.
I lied about my salary too.
I worked as an intern and a contactor, then got fired unfairly.
You brat.
How dare you deceive me!
But I couldn't tell you the truth. You would've been so upset at me.
I worked so hard to raise you.
I sacrificed my whole life just for you. How could you betray me like this?
Gosh, I'd rather just die. I'm too ashamed to live now.
She was the only thing I was proud of, but she tells me she's a fraud.
I feel so wronged. How will I live now?
Iâ€¦
I feel so sorry for my own life. Seriously.
I wasn't born to make you proud, Mom.
What?
I wasn't born for dreams you weren't able to achieve.
She is still talking back.
How can you say that?
I'm so sorry,
I want to live my life however I want to whether it's good or bad.
I want to make decisions myself and be responsible for my actions.
Youâ€¦
Would you like some food?
I can't eat right now.
But you said you feel better when you eat good food.
But it's amazing.
You always manage to find me when I'm feeling this way.
As if you know something.
Perhaps it's a coincidence.
I feel like I'm acting on impulseâ€¦
but can youâ€¦ give me a job?
I'm quite good at serving food and doing all sorts of chores.
Pleaseâ€¦
hire me.
FAST AND ACCURATE, THE BEST GENETIC CENTER IN THE COUNTRY
DA
A fly on your hair.
GYE
A mosquito on your hair.
Not bad. It's good.
Is this eel skin?
Yes, I dried the eel skin in the oven
and made it crispy like a chip,
but crushed it finely and sprinkled it on top not to overdo it.
Oh, you're here.
It's you, right? We met right outside of the store before.
You're the pretty and kind one, who is my type, right?
- Pardon? - Oh, right. Hello.
Do you work here?
Yes.
Do you two know each other?
We passed by once outside.
Awesome. I'm interviewing here right now.
I hope I get hired.
You look even prettier and sweeter this time.
- You're so my type. - What?
Thank you.
This is ridiculous.
Her family runs a restaurant,
yet she goes to work at a restaurant across the street?
I'm so dumbfounded.
Then would it be better if it were a restaurant a bit farther away?
Just let her be. I'm sure she has a plan.
If so, how can she work at the place with the refrig...
How can she go work at the place with the refrigerator disaster?
She must've lost her mind.
It's time for dance lessons. Let's go!
Dance, my foot. No thanks.
Let's go and shake it off.
Get your mind off of things.
My mind is having tremors.
I'm not going. You go ahead, Mom.
Let's go.
I'm not going.
I have a favor to ask.
A favor? What favor?
Tell me now. This is exhausting.
Can youâ€¦
kill someone for me?
I saw everything.
Mom.
Go inside.
It looks delicious.
You already repaid the five packs of ramyeon you owed.
But you still cooked for me.
I want you to sleep well.
So I'm bribing you.
How do you know that I don't sleep well?
Because people recognize others who are similar to themselves.
So, you can't sleep well either.
Have I ever thanked you?
No, you haven't. But you don't need to.
Another glass?
Since we're celebrating my hiring, I'll have another.
From time to time, the kid back then crosses my mind.
I wonder why
he revealed his own dad's secret.
FOUR SEASONS PIANO
Perhaps it's because ofâ€¦ the burden of carrying a secret.
I have something to confess.
It keeps getting heavier to the point
you feel like you'll die from suffocation unless you let it out.
There comes a moment you can no longer carry the burden of keeping a secret.
Like this very moment.
Iâ€¦
Killed someone.
And the moment we reveal our secretâ€¦
we end up regretting it.
Like how I feel
this very moment.

To a guy who makes my heart flutter for the first time in years,
I confessed today
that I killed someone,
and I threatened to kill him too if need be.
What? What is it?
- What did you do to Mr. Lee Jingeun? - What?
Someone came by. I think they said they were family.
If we say noâ€¦
She'll report us to the police.
- Mom, where are you going? - Just go, both of you!
Anyone that knows about the incident or gets in the way of Dahyun,
I'll get rid of them.
