What's Up? (왓츠업)

I still can't believe how fast summer break sort of came and left.

Grandpa, grandma,

even all the sheep..

I already miss all of you so much!

Yet still, I love being back in school too.

I missed school very much during the break.

And please don't worry about me.

I never space out during classtime. Ever.

All the way from the top of your head till the ends of your limbs,

till all the ends of your finger tips.

Take all the unnecessary thoughts out of everything.

And look into your heart.

See what's inside there.

Do you know how well I listen to my professors' lectures and orders?

You know me.

I always do as I'm told.

Now everyone get up and sit.

Release all the unnecessary thoughts and unnecessary energy out of you.

Only when you release your own energy you can use that energy on stage instead.

However,

All my friends are doing well.

And auntie's special person,

Professor Sunwoo is also doing well.

But you know,

Professor Sunwoo, something's different about him these days.

Truthfully that first day of class with him,

we were all so shocked.

Wow.

That was really...Wow.

Before we start class,

I'm going to call attendance.

Kwon Young Don.

Here.

Ah... So then you'd be Kwon Young Teuk.

Yes, I'm Kwon Young Teuk.

You can put your hand down.

-Kim Ka Young. -Here.

Yeah you have big, round eyes, eh.

Kim Byung Gun.

Yes, I'm Kim Byung Gun.

You may sit down Kim Byung Gun.

Finally Professor Sunwoo, I guess, decided to remember our names.

Because before he always used to address us by saying,

"you", "hey", like this.

-Oh Doo Ri. -Here.

One of my classmates went on air and said, "Sunwoo Young!"

And so I think it's because he was so shocked by that, he's changed like this.

And also..

I got the work study financial aid.

I receive $4.50 per hour for it.

So grandpa,

you don't have to send me my boarding fees and living costs.

The sunbae (upperclassmen) always tell me how good of a job I'm doing.

Grandma you always told me that I'm blessed with good people around me.

You know that was true.

I'm actually a little too blessed with good people that it's getting a bit awkward for me.

Amongst my friends, there's even a celebrity.

She's a real celebrity who comes out on television.

Her name is Eun Chae Young. You'd probably recognize her as well if you saw her face.

She's really my friend.

I would call her my super close friend, best friend.

Hey guys.

Man.

I guess Park Tae Yi has completely crossed over to that side now.

Kim Byung Gun, I would stop drooling over her no matter how jealous you are.

Gosh, no matter how much I think about it,

Eun Chae Young is no ordinary star.

She couldn't be so commoner-ish! Look at her, look.

She eats kimchi so well!

So what, stars aren't suppose to know how to eat kimchi or something?

-So what on earth are you doing? -Homework for acting practicum class.

Look at her, look at her.

She's only into doing Professor Sunwoo's class.

Of course.

Because I just need to get an A in Professor Sunwoo's class.

Jang Jae Hun.

Are you disappointed?

About what?

The fact that your beloved is also a person who is hung over stars?

My..my beloved?

Who's my beloved?

I told you not to say weird things like that, that just pop into your head!

What?

I'm just observing your reaction.

What reaction?

Look, look. It's quite pretty.

Try putting another coat of glitter.

-The color will stand out more. -Yeah?

Tae Yi!

Hand me the eyelash curler.

It's right in front of you there.

Um..what is...an eyelash curler?

The thing that curls your eyelashes? You really don't know?

What did you want me to do when she was away for summer break?

Her house is apparently way in the mountains too.

It's not like I can go all the way there to find her.

It's not like you are giving me commission for scouting her.

Why are you interrogating me about her?

Ms. Eun Chae Young, have you forgotten already?

I told you that I'd meet her personally and you said you'd talk to her.

Or else,

is this your way of trying to keep her out of reach?

Director Oh, that's a really weird way of saying things.

You're telling me that I'm trying to block you from seeing her or something?

Why would I do that? For what?

What are you trying to say to me?

Chae Young. That's all fine.

Is this the managing director?

Yeah it's me.

Hey listen to me and just please do as I say.

One of the girls that we brought in messed up her face.

She went and got surgery somewhere and now she looks like Chucky.

So that's why we're sort of in a hurry to get someone new.

Mr. MD, I just have one question then.

What is it about Park Tae Yi that is interesting to you?

Was her singing that great?

Or else..

Is it her face?

I don't know stuff like that. I can't be bothered. Just talk to Director Oh.

According to Mr. CEO, he thinks she has a fresh look.

She doesn't look like all the similar-looking pretty girls who all got their faces fixed.

He says he likes her image. Is this a good enough answer for you?

You and her are in complete different genres so you don't have to worry about her.

I don't like the way you're saying this.

If it's the opposite of fresh-faced Park Tae Yi,

then are you saying that I'm old and stale now?

Tae Yi, why aren't you putting makeup on? You should try it.

I'm not good at it.

Nobody's good at it from the day you're born.

Everyone's a novice in the beginning.

You'll only get better if you practice.

I keep on thinking that I should buy makeup too.

But I'm not sure what to buy, and there are so many different kinds of it too.

And it's also expensive.

Do you have mascara?

No.

Then first mascara,

eyeliner,

and eyeshadow.

You can use mine.

No it's okay. I'll buy it. As long as you just tell me what to buy..

I get a lot of free stuff from here and there anyway.

It'll just end up expiring if I leave it.

Tae Yi, since your eyes are pretty, make the focal point your eyes.

Close your eyes.

And don't blink.

Makeup to an actress is like giving respect to the audience.

That's how I learned it.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to be pretty.

Yes there's nothing wrong with that.

What?

There's nothing wrong with it, but your eyes look really weird right now.

That's because you don't know anything about looking cool.

This is what they call "smoky eyes." It's super in right now.

You know your dad was a rock star.

Rock stars are those who goes ahead of the world.

I think I should buy some new clothes.

How much do you think new clothes would cost me?

Not just clothes from places like thrift stores, but some nicer clothes.

Branded clothes?

Those will be quite expensive.

Yeah I know, huh?

I have to pay for the boarding fee with all that work I do from my part-time job.

Look at me, my eyes look super big, right?

No, you just look like you got punched in the eye.

Dad...

Dad, you're so old-fashioned and out-dated.

Your eyes are really weird!

I'm not going to talk to you!

Just play.

I'll try that again.

Even if you can't achieve your dreams,

A,a,a, again.

That dream.

You see I gave him homework for summer break.

Just sing this song 500 times.

That he should be able to sing it even in the middle of his sleep.

I guess it didn't work.

Kim Byung Gun.

-Yes. -Did you really sing this song 500 times?

-I sang this song 520 times. -What's with the extra 20?

I would say it's like an added bonus.

Don't laugh. He's really serious.

So on your own you sing well?

Yes, I sing well when I'm by myself. I don't even hear my own heart beat.

And... the world doesn't suddenly get all small in front of me.

And my voice doesn't go all berzerk on its own.

I'm sure you did well in front of your family though.

You didn't sing in front of your mom and dad when you were young?

You know like, "The round sun has risen..", no?

Did you get scolded by your mom when you sang or something?

Or.. Did your dad laugh when you sang in front of him?

For example did he like fall off the chair or something doing that?

No, that's not true.

If not, why does it look like you are traumatized?

-My mom and dad... -Stop writing your own scenario and say it to me.

What about your mom and dad!

They would be patient until my song was finished.

Can I give him some homework?

Sure, anything. But you better not make him worse by doing it.
