Mom, I made a storybook about our family.

Did you? A storybook?

Yes, it's a story about our family going on a trip.

- Gosh. - Really?

Then it must be about Mom, Dad, and Mun, taking a trip together.

No, it's with Grandpa and Grandma.

You and Mom are always busy.

That's why you couldn't go on this trip.

- Honey, we can certainly go, right? - Of course.

You always break your promises.

Mun, let us be a part of your storybook, pretty please?

- Please. - We'll be there!

Come on, seriously. I promise.

Ow! My arm hurts!

And Mom?

Yes, sir! I'll be there, too!

Please draw me in.

Okay! Then let me draw you two.

- All right! - All right!

At times, things will feel unfair

And drive you to the brink of tears For no reason

SO GWON

For ordinary people Who never win first place

Getting an applause Is only for other people

But there is one promise...

- Hello? - Gwon.

You better be careful, too.

Why do you sound like that? Is something going on?

Make sure you survive.

You have to!

Where are you, Detective Ga?

Hey... Where are you?

Mom...

My leg really hurts.

Dad...

Dad...

Help...

me...

THE UNCANNY COUNTER

SEVEN YEARS LATER

Okay, Grandma. Let's wash up.

You good-for-nothing. You killed my daughter, you jerk.

- You jerk! - My gosh!

Gosh, Grandma. You're very energetic this morning.

Why hasn't this jerk died yet?

Grandma, wait!

Die! Take this. It's your fault!

It's all your fault! It's all because of you!

Grandma, you look unbelievably pretty today.

I look pretty?

Of course. You're the prettiest in the world.

EPISODE 1

Grandpa! Grandma needs another pair of underwear.

Did she make a mistake?

Number two or number one?

Number one.

It's all right.

Come here, Grandma. Don't be embarrassed.

- Gosh! - Come here.

- Stop it, you jerk. - Yes, right. Number one.

Come on! Let me wash your face!

Gosh, seriously!

You little jerk!

2019 EXCELLENCE AWARD: SO MUN

DAEHAN CHILDREN'S ART CONTEST SO MUN

SKETCHBOOK

- Hey, Mun! - Hey, Mun!

Hey, I'm coming!

Okay, one more bite.

That's it.

I'm going to school.

All right, have a good day.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

Oh, dear. My goodness.

- Gosh. - Here.

Are you all right?

Wait a second. Today is the 12th.

Let's go!

You're fast!

Wait up. Wait for me.

Catch up already.

Mun, are you done making the lead character?

- Of course I am. He's totally awesome. - Nice.

- I want him to be from a dirt-poor family. - A dirt-poor family?

- One who lives in a semi-basement. - A semi-basement?

Like a place where rusty water comes out when he turns on the tap.

He's a part-timer at an Internet cafe, too.

And he has to take out a loan to make his hero costume.

Oh, right. Let's say he gets stronger whenever he defeats a villain.

- Like in games? - Yes.

He can absorb the villain's power and make it his.

And make it his?

What if he had an awful and sarcastic personality?

Like a guy with anger management issues who can also be mean.

- His blood type should be B. - Any girlfriends?

- He only has crushes! - He only has crushes!

- Jinx. - I jinx you back.

HALT UNCONSENTED REDEVELOPMENT

This is it.

The hideout for the last villain.

What do you think?

I heard it'll become the tallest building in Korea.

It can even be seen from North Korea.

What? That's awfully tall.

TAESHIN CONSTRUCTION WILL KEEP MAYOR SHIN MYEONG-HWI'S PROMISE

AND CREATE JUNGJIN'S NEW TOWN

Hello.

- Can you stop for a second? - Sure.

- Hello. - Where are you going?

Thank you.

Hello.

MISSING PERSON

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Oh, hello. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Didn't you take this last time?

Not a lot of people took one, so I thought I would.

She'll feel less lonely if she knows that someone out there cares.

But they've been missing for a year. Maybe they already passed.

- Hey, come on. - Hey, don't be so harsh.

Where are you?

- Have you been to Eonni's Noodles? - Nope.

- You still haven't been there? - No.

Taeshin wanted to build a building right where this noodle place sits,

but the owner there flat out refused to sell it.

That's a long line.

It looks like an ordinary noodle place to me.

No way.

I'm sure they have a secret recipe.

There are folks who haven't tried it, but no one eats it just once.

Why are we just hearing about it?

They don't even advertise.

Not on blogs, social media, nothing.

It's a real hidden gem that only those in the know know about.

What a strange place.

Miss, more kimchi, please.

Kimchi? Get it yourself.

It's self-serve.

What's even more bizarre are the owners.

At first glance, they look like a family, but then they seem too odd to be a family.

Two banquet noodles, please.

What is this place?

You don't know? It's famous.

- Miss! When are my noodles coming out? - You'll have it soon.

Two banquet noodles.

EONNI'S NOODLES

I can't use that.

Use it as long as you can.

Should I take these inside?

It's fine. I'll take my time to take it in.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

LOVE JUNGJIN LOVE NATURE

We stepped on one.

- What's the level? - I think it's level two.

You think?

It might be a level three.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

I heard ones that are in level three speak in two voices.

I'm not sure because it was a first, but that thing had two voices.

When will Cheol-jung get here?

Let's get moving.

How is it?

It tastes pretty good.

- You can all leave after you eat. - Sure.

It's only open for three hours during lunch.

They know they're too good.

- We're done. Come later. - What?

But we waited for an hour.

Wait, you can't do this. You think you're too good.

Gosh, I'm starving to death.

Let's go, Ha-na.

Can you let us in as the last table? It's his...

We have an emergency, so I'll give you twice as much later.

Noodles on birthdays mean longevity.

- Wait! - I'm sorry.

- One second. - We're starving.

She's really pretty.

She's totally pretty.

Hey!

What's up?

Where are you?

We stepped on one.

We stepped on one?

He was in a black hoodie with a tiger.

- Where is he? - Near Jungjin Internet Cafe.

Cheol-jung, did you hear that?

Okay, I'll head over right now.

Go over there. Let's split up.

Why'd that evil spirit have to get spotted now? How tactless.

I was about to try my dear Ms. Chu's noodles.

Did you get nagged at your niece's wedding?
