I Live Alone (Home Alone / 나 혼자 산다)

Then now,

let's head to the real estate.

That's really good.

When you look for a house, you must go in the daytime.

Of course. - You must go early.

You must go in the daytime to see the natural lighting...

and everything.

And you must go one more time at night for parking.

And to check the noise from the neighborhood.

I lived in a 46m² basement room that I renovated myself.

A basement. - With five people.

That's right.

So there was only one faucet,

and the restroom was upstairs.

After living there for a year,

You couldn't live there anymore? - I realized it was too tough.

I got sick.

My friends and I... The three of us...

lived in a basement in Sinsu-dong for two years.

Then I lived in a basement that was almost at the ground level...

for two more years.

And it's been five years since I lived in my current house.

It's my first time to live on the ground level.

Then you feel proud of yourself. - Yes.

"A new studio apartment".

A 20,000-dollar deposit with monthly rent of 700 dollars.

700 dollars.

700? A 20,000-dollar deposit with monthly rent of 700 dollars.

Normally, when you go look for a house,

you talk to yourself a lot.

I walked around the neighborhood before going to the real estate...

to see what it was like.

"Selling studios apartments".

I wish I could live in a studio apartment here.

How much would it cost?

For a lease...

Would it be like 80,000 dollars?

An apartment.

Would apartments cost a few million?

That apartment.

I don't even hope for it.

It's better to go to the real estate with someone...

rather than alone. - "A real estate".

You should've called me.

I'm good at it. - Don't say what you don't mean.

I've moved like 10 times. I'm good at it.

Find a nice house for yourself. - That's what I mean.

I'm doing fine now.

Do you have time to go look for a house with him?

Of course, since this is important.

Are you saying Choong Jae's personal exhibition...

and opening ceremony are not important?

They're not important?

Apologize right now.

I'm sorry.

Especially when I'm older. - It's fine since you apologized.

Hello.

Hello, Choong Jae. - Hello, sir.

Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.

Long time no see. - Long time no see.

I'm looking for a house.

I know. I heard you are looking for a house.

I'm sorry, but I have to ask...

your budget for the monthly rent and deposit first.

For the monthly rent...

500 dollars that is worth like 600 dollars?

500 worth like 600? - He's saying 500 dollars.

What are you talking about? - He's just asking for more.

You know what he means. 1 serving that is like 2 servings.

Even if it's like two servings,

you still get only one serving.

They would never give you two servings.

That's right. - Of course.

It still makes you feel happy.

Do you have any subjective conditions of your own?

Rather than a basement,

I prefer a little bit of sunlight. - That's important.

My current house...

is iffy to measure it.

It looks like this.

This structure...

wastes a lot of space.

To make use of the space more efficiently,

I'd prefer...

a square structure.

If there's only one wall, I can hear every noise from outside.

You care about the noise too? - With a similar condition.

I wish it's closer to my workroom,

and I hope there's no mold.

A smooth water system.

No spiders. No insects.

I was thinking there would be a nice house...

that'd fit my conditions.

I think you can look at four houses.

That's a lot. - That's awesome.

Let me show you the location.

First,

I need to check the direction of the house.

I also need to check how long...

the neighboring houses have been vacant.

I'll have to see whether it's on a collateral security...

and if there's a redevelopment project.

Facilities in the neighborhood.

Transportation.

Hot water. Drainage.

Commercial district. Mold.

Heating. Condensation.

Insulation. Heat conservation.

Then I have to check the windows.

I have to check the parking space and space structure.

I have to check so many things.

Since I have to live in there... - You can become a realtor.

after signing the contract,

I have to be thorough and check everything properly.

I check this when I look for a house to live in.

I ask for the address and check its street view.

The surroundings? - Since I can't check it myself,

I look at its street view.

Then I can tell how close the house is from its neighboring buildings.

I can also tell which direction the house is facing.

You sound like a realtor who owns a store.

You're so professional.

But if you find a house that's too nice,

you get stressed from overthinking.

But that's not the case for Choong Jae.

What's one thing that you can't give up when looking for a house?

One thing that you can't give up when looking for a house.

The natural lighting. And it has to face west.

Wait a minute. - Not north?

That faces west? - I like it when it faces west.

Why? - Because the sunset is nice.

I like looking at the sunset.

That's interesting. - I've never seen anyone like him.

It's quite rare. - It won't be a difficult condition.

When the sun light comes in, - No.

isn't it too strong?

What? - I don't like that.

Are you a vampire or something?

No, that's not it.

The sunlight does come in, but it's rather light.

Let's look at the map... - You have to look at the map.

You have to look at the map. - since you are not...

acquainted to the area. - You have to.

Let me explain the area for you.

He's using the pointer. - It looks like a mission board.

Oh, this?

The first platoon...

It looks like reserve forces training.

Your workroom is located here.

The rooftop room is nearby,

and across that, there's a multi-family housing.

And the new studio apartment building is located here.

It's here,

and the cheap house that remodeled its interior...

is located quite far from your workroom.

You'll have to walk a lot.

So let's talk about the path we'll take.

We can walk to this house,

but for this one, you'll have to take my car.

Okay.
