["Not Shy" by ITZY playing]
[Yeong-cheol] Let's eat now.
-[man on TV] Where do you live?
-[woman on TV] Seoul, Gangnam…
[all gasp]
[chuckles]
Well, if you have
any difficulties living here,
ask for help from Ms. Park Se-wan here.
Please feel free to contact me anytime.
-I'll be happy to help. Nice to meet you.
-[students] Nice to meet you.
PARK SE-WAN, KOREAN, SENIOR
BUSINESS MAJOR
#BUSY BEE #FULL-TIME PART-TIMER
#TOUGH AS NAILS #RESIDENT ADVISOR
Bye.
Have a nice day, sir.
[sighs]
Hey, Se-wan. I'm in trouble.
Help. It's urgent.
[annoyed voice]
Why? What is it?
I'm locked out. I left my key in my room.
-[rattles]
-This is the master key.
Quickly. Please.
-Hold on. You have two choices.
-What are they?
Your first choice
is having me open the door.
I open the door.
Okay, as per dorm rules,
if you lock yourself out,
and I let you in with this master key,
I'll have to give you 20 demerits.
You know that, right?
So what's my other option?
Your second option would be to have me…
[hesitant hum]
…pick the lock for you.
You get no demerits, and no one
will ever know anything about it.
But there is a fee. A small, tiny fee.
Fine. I'm too busy to argue.
Just call it. What's the fee?
EMERGENCY SERVICE: CURFEW,
MASTER KEY, ETC 10,000 WON
-[student gasps]
-Ten thousand won.
That's too expensive. Give me a discount.
Well, okay, okay.
It's your first time,
so I'll do it for half price, 5,000.
[Se-wan] Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Mm-hm.
Bye-bye. Bye.
-[door closes]
-[ominous music]
[shrieks] You scared me.
[clears throat]
I don't think the resident advisor
should extort foreign students.
Does the Professor know?
I never extorted them.
She asked me to do it.
But printing out a price list
for your services,
-that's another level.
-Use this…
[money rustles]
…to buy yourself
an energy drink later, ma'am.
You don't have to call me "ma'am."
You can call me "auntie."
-[chuckles]
-I don't think we're that close.
The floor was wet by the showers.
Looks like you've been
slacking off, ma'am.
[mumbling]
[Se-wan] Yeah, lazy.
I've been working in this dorm
for 20 years,
but I've never met anyone like you before.
Even if the Earth perishes tomorrow,
you'd be able to survive
off the cockroaches.
Hmm… I like you a lot.
[clicks tongue]
[comical music]
[Se-wan muttering softly]
[Jamie] Hey.
Hey.
[hesitant hum]
-What?
-Here.
[chuckles]
Hey.
Even if you're in a rush,
you shouldn't pay me in public.
[money rustles]
Okay, 4,000 won. What do you need?
You just dropped it.
[light music]
[chuckles]
Oh, thank you.
Who are you again?
Oh, you must be Sam's roommate
who moved in last week. Is that right?
Yes, I'm Jamie. Nice to meet you.
JAMIE, AMERICAN, FRESHMAN
MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDIES
#HANDSOME #SMOKING HOT #WHO ARE YOU?
#MESSAGE ME IF YOU KNOW HIM
Welcome. Thank you.
Excuse me.
What? Is there more?
You're the RA here. Isn't that right?
-Can you switch my room for me?
-Why?
Do you not like your roommate?
Sam can be a little annoying.
That's true. I don't.
But more because I want a single room.
-A single?
-Yes.
A room with its own bathroom and shower.
I'm a bit sensitive.
I just find it uncomfortable
sharing them with others.
[sighs]
Does he think
this is a hotel or something?
Listen.
There aren't any single rooms here.
At this school,
we require you to live in a dorm
to force you to interact with
and get closer to others.
There are people much more sensitive
and difficult than you that live here.
You're not that special.
[sighs]
-But in case of--
-You know what, I'm very busy. Bye.
[grumbles]
I'm so hungry. Where is he?
[sighs]
SamSam is so slow.
Come on. It's probably cold.
Tastes better when it's hot.
You should've gone to get it faster.
I know. What took you so long
to pick it up from the front door?
-[seething]
-[thuds]
Idiot. You spilled the soup. Damn it!

Why don't you get it yourself next time?
Either stop bossing me around
or stop complaining.

#THE YOUNGEST #RASCAL
The youngest should always
be the one who runs errands.
-That's how it's always been.
-"The youngest"?
So it's a crime to be young
and a privilege to be old?
I hate how Koreans
are obsessed with hierarchy.
You know what they say, "When in Rome…"
So when you're in Korea,
you do as the Korean do.
[sucks teeth]
Now let's eat.
MINNIE, THAI, SOPHOMORE
K-CONTENT MAJOR
#K-DRAMA LOVER #LOVES TO GO CLUBBING
#MAN-EATER #FASHIONISTA
This is an international dorm
full of students from all over the world.
No one cares about age.
Furthermore, even Koreans don't like
those old-school practices.
Everyone knows that.
In fact, they hate them.
Hey. At least you have delivery apps now.
Back in my day,
I had to physically go to the store.
Have you gone to Sindang-dong
to get tteokbokki?
Or Uijeongbu to get army stew?
-[grumbles]
-Man, the world has gotten so convenient.
Man, where did she learn
how to talk like an old fart?
Oh, no!
Why does Hyun Bin look so hot
even in a North Korean uniform?
"I'm dying from slashing the weight
because Comrade Ri Jeong Hyeok
order us to."
[scoffs]
What was that?
It's North Korean.
"You son of a wench.
Stop with your falsehoods!"
What? You talking to me?
Yes. It means, "Drop the bull, asshole."
Understand now?
Ignore her. She's binge-watching
Crash Landing on You right now.
[Carson] Hey, Se-wan.
-You haven't eaten yet, right?
-No.
-Join us.
-[Se-wan sighs]
-Thank you.
-[clatters]
-[rustles]
-[gasps in surprise]
[sighs]
My battery doesn't last half a day.
NEW MESSAGE TO JONATHAN
Oh, my gosh!
Your phone is so old.
It's practically a fossil.
At least replace the cracked screen.
-Can you even see?
-Mm-hm.
-Come on, just get a new phone.
-[rips]
Even the crappy free phones
are better than this old piece of junk.
-No.
-[grunts]
People change phones
way too frequently now.
It's a waste of money.
-[dramatic music]
-My phone!
[Jamie] Oh!
-Sorry. My bad. I didn't see it. Sorry.
-[gasps]
-The screen cracked.
-What?
-[Jamie] It really cracked.
-[grumbles]
Dang it! I can't get part-time jobs
without my phone!
What is she doing?
-Shoot, I'm so sorry.
-What are you gonna do?
You broke my perfectly good phone.
[comical music]
I'm sorry. I'll reimburse you for it.
Yeah? You mean it? You just said
you would pay to replace my phone.
Sure, I… I definitely will.
I have to get to class. Let's talk later.
Okay. You promised, okay?
-Oh, no, my phone! Look at the screen.
-[chuckles]
Wow, you'll win an Academy Award
and an Oscar one day. Congrats!
So that's why you haven't
gotten a new phone yet.
[in deep voice]
"You've got it all planned out."
Oh, you've just been waiting
to bait some sucker.
[sucks teeth]
Way to go.
Shut up.
Minnie, should I process the 50 demerits
for your curfew violation last week?
And, Carson, you clogged the toilet again.
Should I tell the cleaning lady
it was you?
[soft chuckle]
You--
-Okay!
-Fine. I'll shut up. I'll shut up.
-Shut up. Shut up.
-Bye.
[sighs]
My poor roommate.
He just got here, and he's already
one of Se-wan's victims.
-[clicks tongue]
-SamSam, you ignoramus.
The Academy Award and the Oscars
are the same thing.
The trophy from the Academy Award
is an Oscar.
[gasps]
You birdbrain.
What are you talking about?
It's not the same.
-Hey. I saw someone who won both.
-Really?
A famous director who comes
in my dad's shop every day for tteokbokki…
-[Minnie] Uh-huh.
-…won them both.
I saw them with my own two eyes.
There he goes, a pathological liar.
Look, his ears turned red.
At least, Sam's ears are honest.
[Carson] They turn red from humiliation.
[chuckles]
[quirky music]
[Terris] Hi, babe.
Yes, I'm heading out now.
-[door opens]
-My shoes are on.
I'll be there in 30 minutes.
[shoe clacks]
Hyun-min has been sleeping here all day.
When's he going home?
Hey, get up. Get up!
[grumbles]
I'm tired.
[Hyun-min] What time is it?
Look at the time.
[grumbles]
Why didn't you wake me?
HYUN-MIN, KOREAN, SOPHOMORE
AGRICULTURE MAJOR
#PARASITE #MAN OF DETERMINATION
#NATIVE KOREAN #DISGUISED AS A FOREIGNER
Why are you packing? Where are you going?
[sighs]
What do I do?
[Hans] Why? Is something wrong?
No.
My girlfriend is kind of…
obsessed with me.
[Hyun-min] Wow, she is?
I'm jealous.
So she wants to break up?
She says she can't stand
being apart from me every night.
So she wants to break up?
Why do you keep saying that?
She wants me to move in with her.
Today, actually.
TERRIS, TRINBAGONIAN, GRAD STUDEN
MASTER'S IN BUSINESS AND ADMINISTRATION
#SMART ALECK #PLAYER
#KNOW-IT-ALL AND A SHOW-OFF
What?
Wait, you're going to live together?
After only going out for a week?
Time doesn't matter
as long as they like each other.
[sighs]
Terris, I don't know about this.
I may be very conservative
'cause I was born and raised in Korea,
but living together is…
Wait! Are you moving out the dorm?
What about this room?
That's the problem.
It's hard to get back into the dorm
once you move out.
And if my dad finds out,
he'll demand that I return home.
[groans]
Is there anyone who can pretend
to be me and live here in my place?
Me, me, me, me, me! You have me!
My commute is actually killing me.
You know I left home
before sunrise today too?
BICYCLE

INTERCITY BUS
JUST MY TWO CENTS.
3-HOUR COMMUTE? NOT A PROB…
SUBWAY
SHUTTLE BUS
[Professor] Han Jeong-won.
-Han Hyun-min.
-Here.
[Hyun-min] Commuting from Icheon
is the same as commuting from Busan.
It's very tiring.
You try commuting five hours.
You know there are places in Africa
where small children have to walk up
to seven hours back and forth
just to get water.
HANS, SWEDISH, GRAD STUDEN
MASTER'S IN CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY
#LOVES KOREA #BY THE BOOK
#EXCEPT FOR ME #SNOB #WEIRDO
Why bring that up? That's irrelevant.
Please, Terris, let me live here
in your place. Please, come on.
It's too risky. I'll get kicked out
if the Professor finds out.
Hey, he can't tell us apart anyway.
-Right.
-Even the guard confuses me with you.
That's true. The Professor thought
I was Jonathan last time.
-Okay, you live here, then.
-Okay. It's a deal.
Yes!
This isn't something you guys
can decide on your own.
A Korean citizen residing
in the international dorm?
You are not allowed to live here.
Screw the rules.
Stop worrying about kids
in faraway Africa for once
and start worrying
about your friend right here.
Spending the night in our room
every once in a while is fine
because you're Terris's friend.
But actually living here all the time
is altogether a completely
-different story.
-[Terris] Come on, Hans.
Let it slide just this once.
Every time the rules are broken
once, twice, and so on,
the system will always fall apart,
-resulting in total dystopia.
-[annoyed sigh]
-Rules are rules.
-[whistle blows]
They are not meant to be broken.
Why is he so dang frustrating
all the time?
-Is he always all about the rules?
-[Terris scoffs]
He doesn't really follow the rules.
He just uses them when it's convenient.
[sighs]
Okay. I'll work on him as I live with him.
Anyway, I'm jealous.
I had crushes,
but you're moving in with a girl.
Hey, when will you introduce me
to your girlfriend, huh?
Well…
[awkward chuckle]
Uh, you're gonna meet her in due time.
Don't worry. Don't worry.
Yeah, I found that restaurant
I've been talking about.
-Yeah, I know. It's great.
-What?
Did you miss me?
You want a good night kiss?
-[smooches]
-Gross.
Do you wanna die? Get your roommate.
-Hey, Jamie. You're wanted.
-[Se-wan groans]
Just go get him.
[Jamie] Who is it?
[hesitates]
Hi.
Se-wan, what's up?
"What's up?"
-The money for my cell phone.
-[chimes]
Hand it over.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
But I don't have money right now.
Oh! So that's how you wanna play it?
Give me your credit card. Come on.
I can't right now due to personal reasons.
Give me time--
Why, you little punk! Don't try
to pull one over on me. Get it?
You've messed with the wrong person.
-[snaps]
-[excited grunt]
[Carson] You told him he has to work
so you can take his check?
[Se-wan] Uh-huh. I said I'd find him
the work. He's starting tomorrow.
[Carson] Mmm…
Are you sure Jamie
can make enough to pay for a phone?
It's totally possible
if he works all weekend.
If he works hard and doesn't slack off.
[gasps]
Are you serious?
Hyun Bin is actually there? Don't lie.
If I go and he's not there,
you're totally dead.
Hey. Are you going clubbing again?
Yes. My friend said she saw Hyun Bin
at the club. Hyun Bin!
-He's in a North Korean uniform.
-Come on.
Why would Hyun Bin wear
a North Korean uniform?
-Must be a waiter.
-Never mind if it isn't him.
-It's Friday. I should party until I drop.
-[Se-wan sighs]
-So you're partying all night?
-Probably.
A curfew violation? Oh!
You know, that's 50 demerits.
-My silence for 10,000 won.
-[Minnie scoffs]
You call yourself a friend?
You're terrible.
Hey! Why do you keep coming into our room?
Pay us from now on.
It'll be 10,000 won.
This isn't even your room.
I come to see Carson, so stop complaining.
You have to pay me
when you come to see me too.
[Se-wan] It'll be 10,000 won. Got that?
It's 10,000 won for breaking curfew.

[inhales]
[grunts]
[alarm chimes]
Wow.
Is this for real?
I'm in bed at 7:00 a.m.?
My quality of life
is completely different now.
Oh.
[chuckles]
Where did he go so early?
-Want to win him over with breakfast.
-[door opens]
[Hyun-min] Hey, roommate. Good morning.
Where did you go so early?
[sighs]
I went to report you to Se-wan.
But she's out.
-Hey!
-[tense music]
How could you do that?
Please! I'll be good to you. Okay?
I promise I'll clean the room
and I'll do your laundry with mine.
Please! Come on!
Rules are rules.
They are not meant to be broken.
Hans. Hans!
Hey!
[door closes]
Is there any way I can change his mind?
SOJU THAT WINS YOUR HEAR
[bottles clink]
[grunts]
[Jamie sighs]
-Oh!
-[bottles shatter]
Huh?
-[supervisor groans]
-I'm sorry.
How could you drop that?
Where did you find this klutz?
-We're too busy for this.
-I'm sorry.
Oh!
[gasps]
[Jamie] I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry.
-[sighs]
-I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry.
-[shatters]
-[all gasp]
-[Jamie] I'm sorry.
-[gasps]
[manager] Seriously.
Where did you find this klutz?
We're too busy for this.
I'm sorry.
[clinking]
[Se-wan] I thought
he'd slack off or fight back.
But he's working hard.
[quirky music]
[whooshes]
Did you see my umbrella by the entrance?
The tall, black one.
No.
-Maybe someone borrowed it.
-[Carson scoffs]
What kind of asshole
takes an umbrella without asking?
They should have left a note, at least,
if they were going to take it.
Would it have been too much to ask
for them to have written a little note?
[sighs]
Wait until I find him.
You said "him." Aren't you being sexist,
saying all thieves are men?
He's right. It could've been a girl.
When did you leave it there?
I went out yesterday afternoon,
and when I got back,
I left it by the front door.
[Carson] Someone stole it!
[comical music]
Oh, I forgot. It's supposed to rain.
[suspenseful music]
[grumbles]
[Carson] Seriously!
I'm gonna kill that asshole.
Why would they steal my things?
[groans]
Damn it.
Wait until I catch him.
I'll crush every single bone
in his body into 20,000 pieces.
[chuckles]
Whoever took it is screwed, man.
Why did they take Carson's,
of all people's?
[Terris] Her temper is infamous.
Once she loses it, it's no holds barred.
[Sam] That's right.
She loses it when she gets upset.
Once, a guy knocked over her tray
and didn't apologize.
She fought them 16-to-1. I saw it myself.
Come on, that's exaggerating.
It was just an argument.
What "16-to-1" fight?
I'm not exaggerating. Didn't you know?
Carson's from a gangster family
back in Chicago.
Her dad was a mob leader,
so he was the big boss.
-[Hans] "Big boss"?
-He was a deadly fighter.
"Fighter"?
-But he got caught by the FBI.
-Stop lying all the time.
How many bones do people have?
Uh, wait a minute.
About 206?
-So 20,000 pieces…
-[teeth chattering]
She'll break each bone into 100 pieces?
-[teeth chattering]
-[bones cracking]
[clinking]
[slurps, sighs]
[Se-wan] Why are you just eating that?
You should eat the expensive stuff
at a buffet. Like meat or something.
-Is this your first buffet?
-I don't feel well.
-[utensil clinks]
-Eat as much as you can when you can.
You still have two more jobs to do today.
-This isn't the last one?
-Are you kidding me?
You haven't made enough to pay
for my phone yet.
You're lucky this place
pays time and a half on the weekends.
Even if you work today and tomorrow,
it'll barely be enough.
[puffs]
Do all the college kids
in Korea live like this?
Hmm, yeah. Everyone except
for kids who are very rich.
You've never done
this kind of work, have you?
I can tell from a mile away.
That's not true.
I've had jobs in the States.
Not this, though.
Oh! It's obvious. You're a terrible liar.
You may be working all night,
so eat as much as you can.
Okay.
-Oh!
-[fork clanks]
[gentle music]
Aren't you tired?
You're an RA and you work on the weekends.
When do you study?
[sighs]
It's nothing new for me.
It's just my life.
[Se-wan sighs]
Don't look at me like that.
If you don't make the money
to buy me a new phone, I will murder you.
So start eating.
[Carson] Oh!
I'm getting so pissed off.
They'll regret ever stealing from me.
They didn't steal it.
Come on, I'm sure
they borrowed it and forgot.
They forgot? You don't get it.
I'm starting to lose my mind.
But you're saying, "They forgot."
Are you kidding me?
Why are you taking it out on me?
Why would someone just take
another person's things?
[chuckles]
But they must know how wrong it is.
Especially to mess with your stuff.
-[ominous music]
-If they know it's wrong, why?
[yells]
Why?
Why would they do that?
Why are you taking it out on me?
Find the thief and ask them.
-That's what I want to do.
-Carson--
Wait until I catch him. I'll…
[snarls]
[yells]
Give me that!
What, Hans? Got something to say?
Uh, no. It just looked a little crooked.
[Hans] Sorry.
Why is she so mad about an umbrella?
Her and her temper.
Maybe it's very expensive
or special to her.
Like limited edition basketball sneakers.
Damn, I just imagined it.
I'd completely lose it.
Did you try to change Hans's mind?
He's gotta let you move in.
[sighs]
He's a lot more stubborn than I expected.
There's gotta be a way for me
to convince him to let me stay with him.
[chiming music]
What? Got something to say?
Uh, eh… No.
It just looked a little crooked.
There it is.
[thunder rumbles]
-[breathes nervously]
-[door closes]
It's you, right? Carson's umbrella.
You took it and lost it, right?
-How did you know that?
-You're totally obvious.
If I could tell,
she'll figure it out in no time.
Oh, no.
I clearly remember leaving
the dorm with it,
but it stopped raining at some point.
I think I might have left it somewhere
while I was out.
But I just can't remember where.
Man, what is it with you and rules?
Is stealing someone's umbrella
"by the rules"?
[sharp music]
Now, look, all I'm saying is,
it's completely impossible for a person
to always follow the rules.
Shouldn't you just tell her
that you were the one that took it?
I tried to say something earlier.
-I was too scared to tell her anything.
-[calculating music]
[chimes]
She won't kill you if you give it
back to her today, right?
Let's go out.
Check everywhere you've been. Come on.
[thunder roars]
[sighs]
It's still raining outside.
You think we can find it?
What else could we do?
We have to at least try.
Just remember where you went,
and you can leave the searching to me.
Thank you, Hyun-min. You're a good friend.
Let's go.
[hopeful music]
[hopeless voice] No!
It's nowhere. We looked everywhere.
You think if I told Carson the truth now,
she would at least spare my life?
[stomach rumbles]
[exasperated sigh]
Even if you do die,
let's get dry and eat
something first, okay?
Yeah, okay. So if I go right now,
I can watch the security video, right?
[Carson] Okay.
Is she gonna check the security video?
Yes. She talked to the security guard,
and he said the security company
has to come,
so she agreed to pay for it
and is going to check on it now.
[ominous music]
[Carson] Wait until I catch that thief.
Hey.
Come watch the security footage with me.
And help me identify him.
[Hyun-min] Yes, this is it.
-This is my moment to win Hans over.
-[Hans's heart thumping]
[Hyun-min] She wouldn't actually kill me.
-Carson! Wait!
-For what?
[dramatic music]
-It was me.
-What?
-The person who took your umbrella--
-[Minnie] I'm back. What are you doing?
What's he doing?
You're just getting back?
Yes.
Hey, isn't that my umbrella?
Really? It was raining
when I left last night.
I saw it there, so I took it.
[Carson scoffs]
[daunting voice]
This is my umbrella.
[suspenseful music]
Come on. You should've told me
you were borrowing it.
-[Minnie] Oh, were you looking for it?
-[Carson] It's no big deal.
As long as I got it back.
-So did you see Hyun Bin?
-[groans]
I'm so annoyed. It was a waiter.
My friend totally lied to me.
I still had fun, though.
What are you wearing? Aren't you cold?
[chuckles]
It's the "no-pants" look.
You're so ignorant about fashion.
No, it isn't. I lost my pants
while I was partying.
Wow. That freak, she came home like that?
Then what?
[groans]
She really lost her pants?
Wait a second. Carson. Why make those
threats if you were going to forgive her?
I know. Why is it so special?
Why'd you get so mad about it?
This? It's very special to me.
Yes, but why? Why is it so special?
Sergeant Kim got it for me.
He said I'd be in trouble
if I lost it again.
I thought it was from your first love
or something.
Sergeant Kim is my first love.
[Carson] Anyway, Sam…
Take down the notice
since I found my umbrella.
[bag thuds]
[Carson] Hey! Get back here!
-[man 1] Excuse me!
-Yes?
-[man 1] More scallions, please.
-Okay.
-[thuds]
-Ooh!
[annoyed gasp]
What? What's going on?
-What are you doing?
-[customer shrieks]
-[coughs]
-[thwacks]
-I'm sorry.
-Where's our soju?
Excuse me!
-[man 2] Can you cut the meat here?
-Coming.
[overlapping chatter]
Come on, bring them their soju.
[indistinct chatter]
[pained groan]
[Se-wan sighs]
[Se-wan] Is this too much for him?
He looks like he's never done
physical labor in his life.
Am I working him too hard?
What if he's sick?
There you go again.
Who cares what happens to other people?
Think about yourself. Just yourself.
I'm a bitch. I'm a bad bitch.
-Hey!
-[gasps]
Where are you going?
-To the bathroom.
-[alarm chimes]
What makes you think you have time?
The customers are calling you! Get moving!
Get out of here.
[emotional music]
Did you get on your knees
to sacrifice yourself for me?
Your bones could've been shattered
into 20,000 pieces.
I grew up in the countryside,
so I have strong bones.
That's just how I am.
I'd rather get hurt
than watch my friends get hurt.
This is how Koreans show affection.
You son of a… Why would you…
[sniffles]
Thanks, friend.
[dramatic music]
[playful music]
[Se-wan] Thank you.
SEOM, JEJU STORY
PREMIUM BLACK PORK FROM JEJU
Thank you. Good work.
You know this isn't enough
to pay for my phone, right?
You have to work again tomorrow.
So we're working again, huh?
[sighs]
Really? How are you
gonna survive in this world?
You can't even get through
a full day's work.
Let's go. There's a taxi.
A taxi? You still don't get it, do you?
You wanna blow your hard-earned money
on a taxi right now?
You still owe me money.
Okay. Let's get back to the dorm.
-Hey, what's wrong?
-[pained groan]
Hey, what are you doing?
-[groaning]
-Hey. Oh, no. Hey, hey! Jamie!
Jamie! Wake up! Jamie!
[siren blaring]
Please save him.
[sobs]
He…
[sniffles]
[weeps]
He's never done physical labor before.
But I made him work all day long.
That's why he overexerted himself.
[sobs]
I'm sorry.
Please don't die.
My screen was already cracked.
I'm sorry. Please don't die!
Please don't die!
[sobs]
-[machine beeps]
-[Se-wan] What? Did you say…
-Full of poop?
-Yes. Did you see how full he is?
-[gasps]
-That's all poop.
One second.
There is a lot of poop. This is serious.
Can someone really faint
just because of poop?
Yes. Many patients come to the ER
late at night because of poop,
but he's extreme.
He hasn't gone in a long time.
A week? Is that right?
Yes.
[embarrassed sigh]
I'm very sensitive and I really
can't use the bathroom just anywhere.
You have to go regularly from now on.
We'll administer an enema
and give him IV fluids for today.
Okay, then.
Who's next? Where? Here?
[Se-wan] I've seen people who couldn't
hold it when they really had to go,
but I've never seen someone faint
from holding it for too long.
You really didn't go for a week?
[disgusted groan]
[Jamie] That's why I originally asked
for a different room.
The hardest part of dorm living
is sharing a bathroom.
If you really have to go at some point,
wouldn't you just find somewhere
to let it all out?
[sighs]
You made me work all day
and didn't give me the time
to go to the bathroom.
Okay. This is all my fault,
and you can blame me. You happy?
[Se-wan sighs]
[upbeat music]
Are you okay now?
Well, I went to the bathroom
after the enema, so I'm okay now.
Good. You should be.
That was some expensive poop.
-Stop saying "poop." It's embarrassing.
-[gasps]
Really, poop?
Is your poop embarrassing you?
[groans]
Let's just take a taxi.
Look, Mr. American man.
The ER bill isn't covered by insurance,
so I had to give them
everything we made today
and put the balance on my credit card,
and now he wants to take a taxi.
Thank you, really. I will pay you back.
So how do we get home?
Well, the buses have stopped running now.
But they'll start again soon.
-[Se-wan] Are you coming?
-Yeah, I'm coming.
[upbeat music]
[man] Taxi, taxi!
[indistinct chatter]
-Are you impressed?
-Cool.
It's 3:00 a.m., but it feels
like it's mid-afternoon.
I hear people love to come visit Korea
because you can party all night long.
Some party like crazy…
while some of us work.
[horn honking]
Thank you for worrying so much
about me earlier.
Me worried about you?
Are you crazy? You think I'm stupid?
Why would I worry about you?
I had to do that back there
in the ambulance,
so that the paramedics
would take good care of you.
I was… method acting.
You ever heard of it before?
Okay.
But I thought… I heard you say earlier…
that your phone screen
was cracked to begin with.
[snoring]
[light chuckle]

[both slurping, laughing]
[both laugh]
[laughter]
Hey, Se-wan. Hold on.
-What?
-You know…
Hyun-min has been living
in our room ever since Terris left.
-You asshole!
-That's a rule violation, right?
He's not allowed to do that, is he?
I even got on my knees for you.
You're a giant asshole.
[Hans] I'm grateful for that. I am.
But rules are rules.
Isn't that right, Se-wan?
[sighs]
Hyun-min, is what he's saying true?
Did you guys really do that?
Well, Terris moved in with his girlfriend.
-So his side of the room is empty.
-Damn it.
[thumps, clanks]
Fine.
Then you can just keep doing that.
Of course, rules are rules,
but people are more important.
Isn't that right, you selfish,
heartless little troll of a man?
Se-wan!
I reported the situation to you,
so I did my part.
As for what you just said to me,
that was quite rude.
I think there are better ways
to express yourself.
Thank you so much, Se-wan.
Thank you so much.
[sneaky chuckle]
Thank me? I own you.
[troubling music]
CONTRAC
This is unfair. Show up
in five minutes if you text me?
Oh! That's ridiculous. And what?
The term is seven years?
I'm not some idol.
What's with the seven years?
This is ridiculous. It's totally unfair.
You think it's unfair?
I mean, all you had to do
is keep it quiet.
Why do I have so many rules?
Okay, okay, fine.
Five minutes is unrealistic.
I can change that.
[squeaks]
Ten minutes. Okay?
What? Ten minutes?
Ten minutes is…
[drumroll]
Okay!
[playful music]
[keypad clicks]
[foreboding music]
Yes, it's working out fine so far.
No one knows.
Yes. I'll make sure no one will find out.

Bye.
Have a nice day, sir.
[sighs]
Hey, Se-wan. I'm in trouble.
Help. It's urgent.
[annoyed voice]
Why? What is it?
I'm locked out. I left my key in my room.
-[rattles]
-This is the master key.
Quickly. Please.
-Hold on. You have two choices.
-What are they?
Your first choice
is having me open the door.
I open the door.
Okay, as per dorm rules,
if you lock yourself out,
and I let you in with this master key,
I'll have to give you 20 demerits.
You know that, right?
So what's my other option?
Your second option would be to have me…
[hesitant hum]
…pick the lock for you.
You get no demerits, and no one
will ever know anything about it.
But there is a fee. A small, tiny fee.
Fine. I'm too busy to argue.
Just call it. What's the fee?
EMERGENCY SERVICE: CURFEW,
MASTER KEY, ETC 10,000 WON
-[student gasps]
-Ten thousand won.
That's too expensive. Give me a discount.
Well, okay, okay.
It's your first time,
so I'll do it for half price, 5,000.
[Se-wan] Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Mm-hm.
Bye-bye. Bye.
-[door closes]
-[ominous music]
[shrieks] You scared me.
[clears throat]
I don't think the resident advisor
should extort foreign students.
Does the Professor know?
I never extorted them.
She asked me to do it.
But printing out a price list
for your services,
-that's another level.
-Use this…
[money rustles]
…to buy yourself
an energy drink later, ma'am.
You don't have to call me "ma'am."
You can call me "auntie."
-[chuckles]
-I don't think we're that close.
The floor was wet by the showers.
Looks like you've been
slacking off, ma'am.
[mumbling]
[Se-wan] Yeah, lazy.
I've been working in this dorm
for 20 years,
but I've never met anyone like you before.
Even if the Earth perishes tomorrow,
you'd be able to survive
off the cockroaches.
Hmm… I like you a lot.

[Se-wan muttering softly]
[Jamie] Hey.
Hey.
[hesitant hum]
-What?
-Here.
[chuckles]
Hey.
Even if you're in a rush,
you shouldn't pay me in public.
[money rustles]
Okay, 4,000 won. What do you need?
You just dropped it.

Oh, thank you.

-Can you switch my room for me?
-Why?
Do you not like your roommate?
Sam can be a little annoying.
That's true. I don't.
But more because I want a single room.
-A single?
-Yes.
A room with its own bathroom and shower.
I'm a bit sensitive.
I just find it uncomfortable
sharing them with others.
[sighs]
Does he think
this is a hotel or something?
Listen.
There aren't any single rooms here.
At this school,
we require you to live in a dorm
to force you to interact with
and get closer to others.
There are people much more sensitive

You're not that special.

Furthermore, even Koreans don't like
those old-school practices.
Everyone knows that.
In fact, they hate them.
Hey. At least you have delivery apps now.
Back in my day,
I had to physically go to the store.
Have you gone to Sindang-dong
to get tteokbokki?
Or Uijeongbu to get army stew?

-Man, the world has gotten so convenient.
Man, where did she learn
how to talk like an old fart?
Oh, no!
Why does Hyun Bin look so hot

It's North Korean.

are better than this old piece of junk.

way too frequently now.

Dang it! I can't get part-time jobs
without my phone!
What is she doing?
-Shoot, I'm so sorry.
-What are you gonna do?
You broke my perfectly good phone.
[comical music]
I'm sorry. I'll reimburse you for it.
Yeah? You mean it? You just said
you would pay to replace my phone.
Sure, I… I definitely will.
I have to get to class. Let's talk later.
Okay. You promised, okay?
-Oh, no, my phone! Look at the screen.
-[chuckles]
Wow, you'll win an Academy Award
and an Oscar one day. Congrats!
So that's why you haven't
gotten a new phone yet.
[in deep voice]
"You've got it all planned out."
Oh, you've just been waiting
to bait some sucker.

Shut up.
Minnie, should I process the 50 demerits
for your curfew violation last week?
And, Carson, you clogged the toilet again.
Should I tell the cleaning lady
it was you?

You--
-Okay!
-Fine. I'll shut up. I'll shut up.
-Shut up. Shut up.

My poor roommate.
He just got here, and he's already
one of Se-wan's victims.

The Academy Award and the Oscars
are the same thing.
The trophy from the Academy Award
is an Oscar.
[gasps]
You birdbrain.
What are you talking about?
It's not the same.
-Hey. I saw someone who won both.
-Really?
A famous director who comes
in my dad's shop every day for tteokbokki…
-[Minnie] Uh-huh.
-…won them both.
I saw them with my own two eyes.
There he goes, a pathological liar.
Look, his ears turned red.
At least, Sam's ears are honest.

but living together is…
Wait! Are you moving out the dorm?
What about this room?
That's the problem.
It's hard to get back into the dorm
once you move out.
And if my dad finds out,
he'll demand that I return home.

Please, Terris, let me live here

It's too risky. I'll get kicked out
if the Professor finds out.
Hey, he can't tell us apart anyway.
-Right.
-Even the guard confuses me with you.
That's true. The Professor thought
I was Jonathan last time.
-Okay, you live here, then.
-Okay. It's a deal.
Yes!
This isn't something you guys
can decide on your own.

in the international dorm?
You are not allowed to live here.
Screw the rules.
Stop worrying about kids
in faraway Africa for once
and start worrying
about your friend right here.
Spending the night in our room
every once in a while is fine
because you're Terris's friend.
But actually living here all the time
is altogether a completely

Let it slide just this once.

once, twice, and so on,
the system will always fall apart,

-Rules are rules.
-[whistle blows]
They are not meant to be broken.
Why is he so dang frustrating
all the time?
-Is he always all about the rules?

He doesn't really follow the rules.
He just uses them when it's convenient.

Okay. I'll work on him as I live with him.

Hi.
Se-wan, what's up?
"What's up?"
-The money for my cell phone.
-[chimes]
Hand it over.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
But I don't have money right now.
Oh! So that's how you wanna play it?
Give me your credit card. Come on.
I can't right now due to personal reasons.
Give me time--
Why, you little punk! Don't try
to pull one over on me. Get it?

so you can take his check?
[Se-wan] Uh-huh. I said I'd find him
the work. He's starting tomorrow.
[Carson] Mmm…
Are you sure Jamie
can make enough to pay for a phone?
It's totally possible
if he works all weekend.
If he works hard and doesn't slack off.
[gasps]
Are you serious?
Hyun Bin is actually there? Don't lie.
If I go and he's not there,
you're totally dead.
Hey. Are you going clubbing again?
Yes. My friend said she saw Hyun Bin
at the club. Hyun Bin!
-He's in a North Korean uniform.
-Come on.
Why would Hyun Bin wear
a North Korean uniform?
-Must be a waiter.
-Never mind if it isn't him.
-It's Friday. I should party until I drop.
-[Se-wan sighs]
-So you're partying all night?
-Probably.
A curfew violation? Oh!
You know, that's 50 demerits.
-My silence for 10,000 won.
-[Minnie scoffs]
You call yourself a friend?
You're terrible.
Hey! Why do you keep coming into our room?
Pay us from now on.
It'll be 10,000 won.
This isn't even your room.
I come to see Carson, so stop complaining.
You have to pay me
when you come to see me too.

No.

if they were going to take it.
Would it have been too much to ask
for them to have written a little note?
[sighs]
Wait until I find him.
You said "him." Aren't you being sexist,
saying all thieves are men?
He's right. It could've been a girl.
When did you leave it there?
I went out yesterday afternoon,
and when I got back,
I left it by the front door.

Why would they steal my things?

Wait until I catch him.

in his body into 20,000 pieces.

Whoever took it is screwed, man.
Why did they take Carson's,
of all people's?
[Terris] Her temper is infamous.
Once she loses it, it's no holds barred.
[Sam] That's right.
She loses it when she gets upset.
Once, a guy knocked over her tray
and didn't apologize.
She fought them 16-to-1. I saw it myself.
Come on, that's exaggerating.
It was just an argument.
What "16-to-1" fight?
I'm not exaggerating. Didn't you know?
Carson's from a gangster family
back in Chicago.
Her dad was a mob leader,
so he was the big boss.
-[Hans] "Big boss"?
-He was a deadly fighter.
"Fighter"?
-But he got caught by the FBI.
-Stop lying all the time.
How many bones do people have?
Uh, wait a minute.
About 206?
-So 20,000 pieces…
-[teeth chattering]
She'll break each bone into 100 pieces?
-[teeth chattering]
-[bones cracking]
[clinking]
[slurps, sighs]
[Se-wan] Why are you just eating that?
You should eat the expensive stuff
at a buffet. Like meat or something.
-Is this your first buffet?
-I don't feel well.
-[utensil clinks]
-Eat as much as you can when you can.
You still have two more jobs to do today.
-This isn't the last one?
-Are you kidding me?
You haven't made enough to pay
for my phone yet.
You're lucky this place
pays time and a half on the weekends.
Even if you work today and tomorrow,
it'll barely be enough.
[puffs]
Do all the college kids
in Korea live like this?
Hmm, yeah. Everyone except
for kids who are very rich.
You've never done
this kind of work, have you?
I can tell from a mile away.
That's not true.
I've had jobs in the States.
Not this, though.
Oh! It's obvious. You're a terrible liar.
You may be working all night,
so eat as much as you can.
Okay.
-Oh!
-[fork clanks]
[gentle music]
Aren't you tired?
You're an RA and you work on the weekends.
When do you study?
[sighs]
It's nothing new for me.
It's just my life.
[Se-wan sighs]
Don't look at me like that.
If you don't make the money
to buy me a new phone, I will murder you.
So start eating.
[Carson] Oh!
I'm getting so pissed off.
They'll regret ever stealing from me.
They didn't steal it.
Come on, I'm sure
they borrowed it and forgot.
They forgot? You don't get it.
I'm starting to lose my mind.
But you're saying, "They forgot."
Are you kidding me?
Why are you taking it out on me?
Why would someone just take
another person's things?
[chuckles]
But they must know how wrong it is.
Especially to mess with your stuff.
-[ominous music]
-If they know it's wrong, why?
[yells]
Why?
Why would they do that?
Why are you taking it out on me?
Find the thief and ask them.
-That's what I want to do.
-Carson--
Wait until I catch him. I'll…
[snarls]
[yells]
Give me that!
What, Hans? Got something to say?
Uh, no. It just looked a little crooked.
[Hans] Sorry.
Why is she so mad about an umbrella?
Her and her temper.
Maybe it's very expensive
or special to her.
Like limited edition basketball sneakers.
Damn, I just imagined it.
I'd completely lose it.
Did you try to change Hans's mind?
He's gotta let you move in.
[sighs]
He's a lot more stubborn than I expected.
There's gotta be a way for me
to convince him to let me stay with him.
[chiming music]
What? Got something to say?
Uh, eh… No.
It just looked a little crooked.
There it is.
[thunder rumbles]
-[breathes nervously]
-[door closes]
It's you, right? Carson's umbrella.
You took it and lost it, right?
-How did you know that?
-You're totally obvious.
If I could tell,
she'll figure it out in no time.
Oh, no.
I clearly remember leaving
the dorm with it,
but it stopped raining at some point.
I think I might have left it somewhere
while I was out.
But I just can't remember where.
Man, what is it with you and rules?
Is stealing someone's umbrella
"by the rules"?
[sharp music]
Now, look, all I'm saying is,
it's completely impossible for a person
to always follow the rules.
Shouldn't you just tell her
that you were the one that took it?
I tried to say something earlier.
-I was too scared to tell her anything.
-[calculating music]
[chimes]
She won't kill you if you give it
back to her today, right?
Let's go out.
Check everywhere you've been. Come on.
[thunder roars]
[sighs]
It's still raining outside.
You think we can find it?
What else could we do?
We have to at least try.
Just remember where you went,
and you can leave the searching to me.
Thank you, Hyun-min. You're a good friend.
Let's go.
[hopeful music]
[hopeless voice] No!
It's nowhere. We looked everywhere.
You think if I told Carson the truth now,
she would at least spare my life?
[stomach rumbles]
[exasperated sigh]
Even if you do die,
let's get dry and eat
something first, okay?
Yeah, okay. So if I go right now,
I can watch the security video, right?
[Carson] Okay.
Is she gonna check the security video?
Yes. She talked to the security guard,
and he said the security company
has to come,
so she agreed to pay for it
and is going to check on it now.
[ominous music]
[Carson] Wait until I catch that thief.
Hey.
Come watch the security footage with me.
And help me identify him.
[Hyun-min] Yes, this is it.
-This is my moment to win Hans over.
-[Hans's heart thumping]
[Hyun-min] She wouldn't actually kill me.
-Carson! Wait!
-For what?
[dramatic music]
-It was me.
-What?
-The person who took your umbrella--
-[Minnie] I'm back. What are you doing?
What's he doing?
You're just getting back?
Yes.
Hey, isn't that my umbrella?
Really? It was raining
when I left last night.
I saw it there, so I took it.
[Carson scoffs]
[daunting voice]
This is my umbrella.
[suspenseful music]
Come on. You should've told me
you were borrowing it.
-[Minnie] Oh, were you looking for it?
-[Carson] It's no big deal.
As long as I got it back.
-So did you see Hyun Bin?
-[groans]
I'm so annoyed. It was a waiter.
My friend totally lied to me.
I still had fun, though.
What are you wearing? Aren't you cold?
[chuckles]
It's the "no-pants" look.
You're so ignorant about fashion.
No, it isn't. I lost my pants
while I was partying.
Wow. That freak, she came home like that?
Then what?
[groans]
She really lost her pants?
Wait a second. Carson. Why make those
threats if you were going to forgive her?
I know. Why is it so special?
Why'd you get so mad about it?
This? It's very special to me.
Yes, but why? Why is it so special?
Sergeant Kim got it for me.
He said I'd be in trouble
if I lost it again.
I thought it was from your first love
or something.
Sergeant Kim is my first love.
[Carson] Anyway, Sam…
Take down the notice
since I found my umbrella.
[bag thuds]
[Carson] Hey! Get back here!
-[man 1] Excuse me!
-Yes?
-[man 1] More scallions, please.
-Okay.
-[thuds]
-Ooh!
[annoyed gasp]
What? What's going on?
-What are you doing?
-[customer shrieks]
-[coughs]
-[thwacks]
-I'm sorry.
-Where's our soju?
Excuse me!
-[man 2] Can you cut the meat here?
-Coming.
[overlapping chatter]
Come on, bring them their soju.
[indistinct chatter]
[pained groan]
[Se-wan sighs]
[Se-wan] Is this too much for him?
He looks like he's never done
physical labor in his life.
Am I working him too hard?
What if he's sick?
There you go again.
Who cares what happens to other people?
Think about yourself. Just yourself.
I'm a bitch. I'm a bad bitch.
-Hey!
-[gasps]
Where are you going?
-To the bathroom.
-[alarm chimes]
What makes you think you have time?
The customers are calling you! Get moving!
Get out of here.
[emotional music]
Did you get on your knees
to sacrifice yourself for me?
Your bones could've been shattered
into 20,000 pieces.
I grew up in the countryside,
so I have strong bones.
That's just how I am.
I'd rather get hurt
than watch my friends get hurt.
This is how Koreans show affection.
You son of a… Why would you…
[sniffles]
Thanks, friend.
[dramatic music]
[playful music]
[Se-wan] Thank you.
SEOM, JEJU STORY
PREMIUM BLACK PORK FROM JEJU
Thank you. Good work.
You know this isn't enough
to pay for my phone, right?
You have to work again tomorrow.
So we're working again, huh?
[sighs]
Really? How are you
gonna survive in this world?
You can't even get through
a full day's work.
Let's go. There's a taxi.
A taxi? You still don't get it, do you?
You wanna blow your hard-earned money
on a taxi right now?
You still owe me money.
Okay. Let's get back to the dorm.
-Hey, what's wrong?
-[pained groan]
Hey, what are you doing?
-[groaning]
-Hey. Oh, no. Hey, hey! Jamie!
Jamie! Wake up! Jamie!
[siren blaring]
Please save him.
[sobs]
He…
[sniffles]
[weeps]
He's never done physical labor before.
But I made him work all day long.
That's why he overexerted himself.
[sobs]
I'm sorry.
Please don't die.
My screen was already cracked.
I'm sorry. Please don't die!
Please don't die!
[sobs]
-[machine beeps]
-[Se-wan] What? Did you say…
-Full of poop?
-Yes. Did you see how full he is?
-[gasps]
-That's all poop.
One second.
There is a lot of poop. This is serious.
Can someone really faint
just because of poop?
Yes. Many patients come to the ER
late at night because of poop,
but he's extreme.
He hasn't gone in a long time.
A week? Is that right?
Yes.
[embarrassed sigh]
I'm very sensitive and I really
can't use the bathroom just anywhere.
You have to go regularly from now on.
We'll administer an enema
and give him IV fluids for today.
Okay, then.
Who's next? Where? Here?
[Se-wan] I've seen people who couldn't
hold it when they really had to go,
but I've never seen someone faint
from holding it for too long.
You really didn't go for a week?
[disgusted groan]
[Jamie] That's why I originally asked
for a different room.
The hardest part of dorm living
is sharing a bathroom.
If you really have to go at some point,
wouldn't you just find somewhere
to let it all out?
[sighs]
You made me work all day
and didn't give me the time
to go to the bathroom.
Okay. This is all my fault,
and you can blame me. You happy?
[Se-wan sighs]
[upbeat music]
Are you okay now?
Well, I went to the bathroom
after the enema, so I'm okay now.
Good. You should be.
That was some expensive poop.
-Stop saying "poop." It's embarrassing.
-[gasps]
Really, poop?
Is your poop embarrassing you?
[groans]
Let's just take a taxi.
Look, Mr. American man.
The ER bill isn't covered by insurance,
so I had to give them
everything we made today
and put the balance on my credit card,
and now he wants to take a taxi.
Thank you, really. I will pay you back.
So how do we get home?
Well, the buses have stopped running now.
But they'll start again soon.
-[Se-wan] Are you coming?
-Yeah, I'm coming.
[upbeat music]
[man] Taxi, taxi!
[indistinct chatter]
-Are you impressed?
-Cool.
It's 3:00 a.m., but it feels
like it's mid-afternoon.
I hear people love to come visit Korea
because you can party all night long.
Some party like crazy…
while some of us work.
[horn honking]
Thank you for worrying so much
about me earlier.
Me worried about you?
Are you crazy? You think I'm stupid?
Why would I worry about you?
I had to do that back there
in the ambulance,
so that the paramedics
would take good care of you.
I was… method acting.
You ever heard of it before?
Okay.
But I thought… I heard you say earlier…
that your phone screen
was cracked to begin with.
[snoring]
[light chuckle]
NEXT DAY
[both slurping, laughing]
[both laugh]
[laughter]
Hey, Se-wan. Hold on.
-What?
-You know…
Hyun-min has been living
in our room ever since Terris left.
-You asshole!
-That's a rule violation, right?
He's not allowed to do that, is he?
I even got on my knees for you.
You're a giant asshole.
[Hans] I'm grateful for that. I am.
But rules are rules.
Isn't that right, Se-wan?
[sighs]
Hyun-min, is what he's saying true?
Did you guys really do that?
Well, Terris moved in with his girlfriend.
-So his side of the room is empty.
-Damn it.
[thumps, clanks]
Fine.
Then you can just keep doing that.
Of course, rules are rules,
but people are more important.
Isn't that right, you selfish,
heartless little troll of a man?
Se-wan!
I reported the situation to you,
so I did my part.
As for what you just said to me,
that was quite rude.
I think there are better ways
to express yourself.
Thank you so much, Se-wan.
Thank you so much.
[sneaky chuckle]
Thank me? I own you.
[troubling music]
CONTRAC
This is unfair. Show up
in five minutes if you text me?
Oh! That's ridiculous. And what?
The term is seven years?
I'm not some idol.
What's with the seven years?
This is ridiculous. It's totally unfair.
You think it's unfair?
I mean, all you had to do
is keep it quiet.
Why do I have so many rules?
Okay, okay, fine.
Five minutes is unrealistic.
I can change that.
[squeaks]
Ten minutes. Okay?
What? Ten minutes?
Ten minutes is…
[drumroll]
Okay!
[playful music]
[keypad clicks]
[foreboding music]
Yes, it's working out fine so far.
No one knows.
Yes. I'll make sure no one will find out.
[foreboding music continues]
[closing theme music]
