It's Okay! (괜찮아 괜찮아 괜찮아!)

Please take your seats,

the performance will begin in 15 minutes.

Welcome to Yookgomu,

a Korean traditional drum dance by Seoul International Arts.

In case of emergencies, emergency exits are located...

...on either side nether and in the back.

During the performance, please reference your ear.

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...

INCOMING CALL CLIENT SHIN YE-BIN

Hi, Ms. Shin!

I'm just a few minutes away.

One minute to curtain.

It's time, ma'am.

INCOMING CALL 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 wearing 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.

That's right.

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.

Damn 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. I should go.

SEOUL INTERNATIONAL ARTS COMPANY

- 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.

Sorry.

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.

What?

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.

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.

PHARMACY

- 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.

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.
