Navillera (나빌레라)

What am I doing?

Say hi. He'll be teaching you ballet starting today.

He's Lee Chae-rok, a ballet dancer.

Despite his looks,

he got into the School of Dance a year after starting ballet.

Hey, say hello.

This is Mr. Sim Deok-chul, and he'll learn ballet from you.

No. Why would I do that? Have you gone insane?

I'm in your hands, Mr. Lee.

-You won't learn anything from me! -And one more thing.

He'll be your manager starting today.

-Check how much he's practiced, -Yes, sir.

what he eats before the audition, if he's injured,

-and his condition. -Yes, sir.

But most of all,

make sure he doesn't do anything foolish.

-Yes, sir. -And call me if he does.

-Yes, sir. -Mr. Ki!

I'll do my best. Thank you, sir.

I'll do my best.

EPISODE 2

I don't want to.

Why would I teach that old man? Are you seriously crazy?

-You don't want to? -Isn't it obvious?

-Then go back to the School of Dance. -What?

What? This is my private studio,

and I've been teaching you for free for the past four years.

But I can't do that anymore.

You're the one who refused to get paid.

I was willing to pay, but you said it wasn't right to make your pupil pay.

And what? You want me to go back to school just because of that old man?

Does that make sense? You know why I took a break from school.

Then you can leave.

Mr. Ki…

I have so much work to do. This is a waste of time.

I can take care of myself.

Exactly how?

Don't fool yourself.

You're no big shot.

Are you serious about this?

Fine, I'll do it.

But I have one condition.

Balancing on a sus-sous .

Okay?

If you manage to master this in a week,

I'll teach you ballet.

You need to do it for a minute.

Hey, that's too difficult.

He's pretty old.

I'll only be motivated to teach him once I see potential.

Don't you think so?

Yes. I'll give it a try.

That's absurd, sir.

It isn't as easy as it seems.

Come up with something reasonable.

He said he'll do it.

Don't worry. I can do it.

Are you sure?

Why can't I do it?

Is it too slippery?

Goodness.

Goodness.

Why am I already out of breath? I'm in trouble.

I thought we were friends, so why am I always the one calling to meet up?

How are you even doing these days?

I'd like to ask you the same question.

I've been doing well. I've been great.

I even slept for two hours last night.

I'm even having a tasty sandwich for a late lunch.

Gosh, I'm really happy these days.

Fine, you do that. Be as happy as you want.

By the way, didn't you say you were filming something?

A documentary.

It's looking good.

Is he sleeping?

Right, a documentary. What's it about?

You wouldn't get it.

MOM

Why isn't he picking up when he has nothing better to do?

Thank you so much. We will continue to be with you through thick and thin.

I am the wife of Byun Yeong-il, Candidate Number Seven.

Hold on.

7, UNAFFILIATED, BYUN YEONG-IL

MOM

Mom, what is it? Is it urgent?

Take some seaweed soup.

Okay. I'll call you back later.

Goodness.

I forgot to tell her that I wired the money.

I SENT THE MONEY GOOD LUCK

Okay. There we go.

Seong-san.

SEONG-SAN

What's the point of having three kids when none of them are there for you?

What will I do with all this seaweed soup?

Would you pick up if my life was at stake?

You're not the only ones who are busy. I'm busy too.

Honey, your food's ready.

I said, your food's ready.

At least the mirror didn't break.

Good going.

Why would you smash your face into the mirror?

Well…

Go meet with Seong-gwan.

What? Why?

"Why?" How could you say that when he quit his job as a doctor

and has been doing nothing for years on end?

Every time I think of him, I just want to die.

Ask him about his future plans

and if he's open to the idea of going back to the hospital.

-He quit because he didn't like it. -Still, how could he?

I'm sick of being a mom to our kids who don't even pick up,

so should I quit too?

I'm even more sick of being your wife, so should I quit that too?

Never mind. I'll meet with him. I'll do that.

Say something foolish to him, and I'll never cook for you ever again.

I doubt he'll go back to the hospital.

-What? -I'll meet with him.

Did I tell you that a friend of mine from college works at your headquarters?

No. It's news to me.

He said that excellent employees get the chance to go abroad.

After five years at that company, get an MBA abroad.

I'm not even a full-time employee yet.

Are you not confident?

That's not it. I'm just saying we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves.

I just started working as an intern.

When I first started working, I already knew how far up I'd go.

I don't expect the same from you.

But you should at least be ambitious.

Be alert.

I am already on alert enough.

Eun-ho, how could you…

Hi, Mom.

Where have you been?

We agreed to having a family dinner at least once a week.

I had a job interview.

What?

KEEP IT UP!

YOU CAN DO IT, MY SON!

SON, FOOD'S IN THE FRIDGE I LOVE YOU

KEEP IT UP!

YOU CAN DO IT! I LOVE YOU, MY SON

Mu-yeong!

It's a bit shabby.

I'm in no position to be picky.

They'll call you a guidance counselor, but you're pretty much a housefather.

The soccer team was formed only a year ago,

so there's still a lot to be done.

Come this way.

This is your room.

Thanks.

Is Chae-rok doing well?

Did you call him?

Yes.

You should unpack and rest up.

Here. My wife prepared this.

Rest up.

Sir, are you okay?

Yes, I am. I'm fine.

Goodness. Oh, dear.

Goodness.

Gosh.

Goodness.

Is my ab strength the problem, not my legs?

One.

One.

What's gotten into him this morning?

Could it be because of Gyo-seok?

Make sure you see Seong-gwan today.

Okay!

I should've started ten years ago.

Gosh, this darn, old body. Goodness.

Lee Chae-rok.

You only drink iced Americano.

You're becoming more and more like Seung-joo.

That's an insult.

That's what he said too.

Why are you here?

You left this place because it was boring. Why did you come back?

Do you also think…

that I won't make it?

He's driving me mad.

He suddenly appointed an old man as my manager

and told me to go back to school.

I have no idea what's going through his head.

He keeps pressuring me.

Why can't he trust me? I've been doing well so far.

How can you prove that?

You haven't improved at all.

That's because…

Seung-joo was a principal dancer at your age.

Do you think he was born that way? No.

Everyone dubbed him "the Ballet Prodigy" and "the Ballet Genius,"

yet he practiced for 16 hours every single day.

He practiced at school and even on his own.

After doing that, he finally came to know

what kind of ballet he wanted to pursue.

What about you?

What brings you all the way here?

What?
