[Previously]
I must really be turning into a dog.

One that wishes for nothing more

than being loved by him. A puppy like that.

What the?

- Dad?
- Is he the one?

I'm sorry about earlier.

I couldn't even properly say goodbye because I was out of sorts.

I'm fine since I got to see you briefly.

See you tomorrow at school.

Unni! What do I do?

Let's first go and see.

We need to find out who it is and how much they know.

Jin Seo Won, that b*stard must not know yet.

Seeing how you're still cursed.

Why should I give you money?

Then you must be okay with me sharing all the video clips I took.

- I'm sorry.
- Stop with the feeble nonsense.

Everyone take the day off tomorrow.

Did Ms. Han not come to work?

She took a sick day today.

Yul, Jun Seo was feeding Cocoa with his phone earlier.

Be honest. Where's Cocoa from, and who's her owner?

That person wouldn't seek out Mr. Jin, would he?

- I should go before he-
- No!

Just worry about yourself for now.

What will you do if you go out and get harassed?

What did I say I'd do if you showed up in front of me again?

Tell me where it is this instant.

Wherever that b*stard, Eun Hwan, lives or works.

Hey, isn't he that guy from before?

I'm going to deliver some unbelievable news soon.

Would you believe there's a woman who's a teacher by day and a dog by night?

I told you, didn't I?

I said I will not let you be.

Why on Earth are you going this far?

Because she's family.

Do you remember where this is?

You always got beat up powerlessly whenever you were brought here, right?

H-Hyungnim, I just received a picture.

I think it's your home.

Come to last night's spot right now.

If you don't, I'll k*ll this f*ck, okay?

Today is finally here.

Let me introduce that person. This is her!

Ms. Han, are you okay?

Ms. Hae Na!

- Ms. Han!
- One moment, please.

Stay away for a moment, please.

I was really going to tell you everything.

I do want to get closer to Cocoa.

If it's really you, I won't be scared.

You should know when to stop.

It's over now.

You'll forget about everything.

Mr. Jin, the kiss.

Can we do it one more time?

As a human to another human.

The food's here![

It looks delicious!

Ta-da!

[Congrats on escaping life as a dog.]
Good job! Good job!

Let's drink it up!

- Thank you!
- Congratulations!

Congratulations! Congratulations on escaping life as a dog!

Congratulations!

[Episode 9]

Are you really dating the math teacher now?

Hey, who are you calling "math teacher"? It's Jaebu*.
[Term used by a woman to address her little sister's husband.]

Gosh! He said Jaebu!

Hey, watch your smile.

You said you're keeping it a secret at school.

[Mr. Jin Seo Won]

What's with "Mr. Jin Seo Won"? You should change it.

Hello?

Aigoo, aigoo.

Gosh!

Han Hae Na must be so happy.

She lifted the curse

and has a beautiful relationship.

Only good things await her.

Hey.

If you just stare at it, will the chicken gizzard walk into your mouth?

Eat it.

Aigoo.

Hey, look at this.

- What's that?
- Doesn't it look like chicken gizzard?

Sorry.

I really thought it was a chicken gizzard!

They look exactly the same! Totally confusing.

Wait, I'm still saved as Ms. Han?

But we've already been dating for...

Oh, it's already been 22 hours.

I should change it, too.

What will you change it to?

A heart after "Ms. Han?"

That sounds really nice,

but isn't there something more

secretive and special?

Special...

Cocoa?

Geez, what's with Cocoa?

Do I still look like a dog to you, Mr. Jin?

How about something like...

Bong-meo and Seo-liet?

I see. You were envious, huh?

No, not envious...

Yes, I was envious.

Then I guess we can be the Seo-Hae couple.

Seo-Hae?

Oh, Seo-Hae couple, as in, Seo Won and Hae Na? I like it.

Then what about our names?

Names?

How does Hae Dong Dong sound?

What's Hae Dong Dong?

You were cute when you were pacing around.
["Dong Dong" means to pace around in Korean.]

Cocoa.

I like Hae Dong Dong.

Mr. Lee.

What are you doing here right now?

I'm making this.

You can enjoy your hobby at home.

How dare you spend school time-

You must be having fun playing Vice Principal.

Whoa!

Wow! This came out really nice!

They shouldn't be mixed.

Oh, that's right.

Wow, it's drenched in the scent of a tiger.

Normal beasts won't even be able to come close.

Let's see...

by the way,

can't you end things here

and return now?

Gosh, the human world is so gray

and there's no greenery.

Can't you...

return back to the mountains?

You've done more than enough.

You know? This!

This is really uncomfortable. And what's this?

It's like a leash! Geez...

What I'm saying is...

If I was going to end things here,

I wouldn't have abandoned the mountains and come out in the first place.

Don't you miss it?

It's still our home.

our home.

No.

I can't stand the sight of it.

Who on earth is that woman for you to go this far-

I apologize.

Those two must lose what I've lost as well.

Those two must feel...

what I've felt as well.

Seo-Hae couple, D+2.

There's a whole hour left until we meet.

I miss you.

Uncle, are you dating Ms. Han?

Huh?

Yeah.

Do you know about that, too? Her secret?

Let's eat.

This looks good. It got a little burnt.

- Does that mean her curse is lifted?
- Yeah.

That's great!

There's still 58 minutes left.

Are you two really dating?

Yeah.

Uncle?

If you want to date Ms. Hae Na,

there are some things you need to know.

First,

you can't ask her to be puppy-like.

Ms. Han is human now.

"Hand,"

"foot,"

"bang!"

You shouldn't command her to do these tricks.

When you go to a cafe, don't order coffee.

Order her a cocoa.

When you're attentive to her,

she'll act like she doesn't like it when she does.

So don't be too obviously attentive.

When it's been 100 days,

go to her desk and offer her a chocolate.

She'll be so happy.

And finally,

Ms. Han isn't aware of...

just how adorable,

affectionate,

and lovely she is.

So,

frequently remind her.

♪ Going home, I- ♪

Aren't you going to school?

Hello.

What's that?

The Vice Principal bought it at a temple.

It's some sort of talisman.

Talisman?

Hey.

Hey, Ms. Han,

here's one for you, too.

Thank you.

It's great to wear on your dates.

It holds the perfect balance of yin and yang,

so there's no chance of breaking up.

- Go ahead.
- Oh, sure, sure.

Oh, it looks good on you.

Oh, right.

I'm not sure if you heard about the school next door,

but teachers were kissing at school and were caught by the students.

Complaints about them reached even the Board of Education.

Married couples aren't allowed, either!

It's a mess these days.

Teachers should act like teachers.

Decent behavior and actions are a given, aren't they?

The display of affection at school is strictly prohibited.

I'm going to enforce it myself, so be aware.

- Didn't he just about the balance between yin and yang?
- Well, you know...

If any of you happen to catch anyone,

you must report it to me right away.

Yes! I understand.

I just don't get it.

Right?

Going as far as to enforce...

No, not Vice Principal.

- Huh?
- That couple.

Was their love so overflowing that they had to act like that at school?

Why not? It's thrilling.

I always wanted to try it.

Holding hands behind people's backs and giving a smack on the lips?

Something like that?

Anyway, this has absolutely nothing to do with us.

Of course. It's been over 100 years since my love cells died out.

- Right?
- Yeah...

Ms. Han.

Hey.

Huh?

He's calling you.

Yes?

Can I have a tangerine?

No.

Hey! What's wrong with you? There's plenty.

Go ahead! Go ahead.

Hey, did you see today's lunch menu?

It's all grass. I'll become a cow at this rate.

What's that?

- What?
- Did you see that?

Am I the only one who saw that? Just now!

Gosh, no way.

[6th period is a free period. Meet me in the music room.]

Hey, hey! Ms. Hae Na, Ms. Hae Na! It's Ms. Hae Na!

Where?

No one's there.

What's wrong with you since earlier? You're scaring me.

Let's go.

[[Unit 3] Poetic Expresion]

[Express your feelings with creative poetry.]

"Dear Math Teacher.

To you who teaches the Euler's Formula.

The most beautiful formula in this world

isn't Euler, it's you."

Jin Seo Won!

"To you who teaches conditional probability.

What is the probability that you will love me unconditionally?"

Zero percent.

"To you who teaches mathematical induction.

My passionate heart and rushing blood

are only deduced by love for you.

To you who teaches the Pythagorean theorem.

Get rid of all the temptations around you

and forget about them.

This whole class is insane.

Ms. Han?

There are a few things you should know

if you want to date Uncle.

My uncle...

always draws a face

when he makes fried eggs.

Eat the face at the end,

or he'll get miffed but subtly.

At times, he'll close his eyes in the elevator

and open them right when he arrives at his floor,

and secretly be proud of it.

You must pretend not to know.

He'll get serious and say he didn't.

And...

he likes solving math problems.

Please buy him a lot of new workbooks.

♪ Going home, I fret- ♪

Sure, thanks, Yul.

[Seo Dong Dong]

"Can I see you for a moment?" Yes, of course!

Mr. Jin, acting like this at school is troublesome.

- What do you mean?
- We're at school,

but you keep flirting with me and seducing me!

Then I guess you don't need this, either.

What's that?

It's nothing.

What the?

[100 Islands of Korea Tour Guide - Yellow Sea]

The Yellow Sea*? This is our book.
["Seo-Hae" sounds like the Korean term for the Yellow Sea.]

I'm sorry for constantly flirting with you and seducing you.

It's okay.

You can seduce me all you want.

Vice principal. Vice Principal!

- Oh. Oh, thank you.
- What?

I just saw something weird.

Come. Come with me for a moment.

- Come with me!
- What did you see?

They're gone.

Just now, Ms. Hae Na and Mr. Seo Won were...

- Did they hug?
- No.

Kiss?

Did they hold hands and intertwine fingers?

Huh? Like this?

No...

- He gave her a book.
- Sorry?

But the atmosphere was-

The atmosphere can't be used as evidence, Ms. Yoon!

Okay?

Did you finish grading exams?

No.

Can you stand in line for me in tomorrow morning's assembly?

- That will be difficult.
- I see.

♪ Whatever I say, it's for you ♪

♪ Learning all the love songs I taught you ♪

♪ Whatever the language, I don't mind ♪

Oh! Why'd you bring me here?

- I want to show you something.

What is it?

Hey, hey! You're too loud, you punks.

Stop chatting.

- Hey, Class Pres., start by closing the curtains.
- Okay!

Guys, follow Min Jae and grab your rackets and birdies.

Okay!

I thought we were playing dodgeball today!

Here you go.

I need three.

- I need three.
- Three. Here's three.

Hey, guys, quiet down.

Ms. Han...

It's beautiful.

Are you okay?

I heard you suddenly fainted. What's wrong?

Were you possessed by something?

Why was my face on the wall?

Come on, Min Ji Ah...

You're not Min Ji Ah.

Come on!

You evil spirit!

Begone!

That scarf...

- Satan!
- seemed like mine.

Begone!

In the name

of faith,

hope, and love,

I shall drive you away.

That memory...

Could that be my memory, too?

Ms. Spirit, do you see that light?

Please follow it.

Shoo!

Shoo!

Is it my past life or something?

Hey.

Are you okay?

I'm just worried.

Why would you be worried?

Well,

you said you were sick for three years.

Shamanic illness is still an illness, so you must've been in pain.

I'm all right now.

Then why did you faint earlier?

I must still have some homework left.

Homework?

Once I finish that,

I'll be able to learn more about myself.

Gosh, you were so cute as a dog.

Why?

Are you craving one?

No.

As if.

- Hey, you know...
- Yeah?

Never mind.

Hey.

Never mind.

What is it? Huh?

Huh? What is it?

Well, it's been

too long ago for me.

Yeah?

Appetite and lust are two different things, right?

They probably are.

Yes, right.

Wait, elaborate.

So appetite is desire for food.

And lust is...

desire to "do it," right?

Well...

Yeah?

- I was enjoying some chicken gizzard.
- Okay.

Then, I suddenly saw something and wanted to kiss it.

What did you see?

You don't need to know.

What did you see?

What was it?

What was it?

- Woo Taek's lips!
- Gosh!

Unni, are you crazy?

It was my appetite. My appetite momentarily turned into lust.

This is all because of the chicken gizzard. Chicken gizzard!

Do you want to eat it?

No.

Then what about this?

Aren't you curious?

♪ I need your love ♪

♪ You can get some ♪

Want to try this?

No!

I'm not curious at all!

I guess you don't really like it.

No!

I like it.

Don't come home.

I invited Woo Taek. I'm going to confirm.

You're treating me to fried chicken? What gives?

I was hungry...

so I might as well.

You feel bad about something, huh?

Woo Taek.

Yeah?

You're quite a great...

friend.

What are you saying?

Woo Taek.

Can't one kiss be allowed between friends?

between friends?

I feel nothing. Eat up.

Whoa!

My appetite is out of control. Wow!

Eat up.

I should be the one dropping you off.

It's okay. I have a lot of time today, anyway.

I can go home late.

Your sister is still at work?

Yes, it seems so.

Whoa, we're here.

I came here so often as Cocoa.

Would you like to come in?

Sorry?

Stay until your sister gets home.

Yul's not home?

He said he was sleeping over at a friend's house.

It's been a while since I came as a human

and it feels very different.

- Does it?
- Yes.

Would you like a drink?

Yes.

Confirmed. You can come home now.

Is that your sister?

Yes.

What did she say?

Well...

she says she's going to be a while and for me to take my time.

- Would you like some fruit?
- Yes.

Aren't you...

curious?

Ms. Han?

Yes.

Jin Seo Won!

- What the?
- What are you doing?

- What do you mean?
- What are you doing here out of the blue?

I came because I wanted to see you, man.

Actually, I think I left something here the last time I was here.

- Let me get it.
- Okay.

Hey, Yul. How could you not come out-

The door's locked...

It's adolescence.

We should leave him alone.

Adolescence?

I'll be quiet.

Ms. Han, just come outside.

If we tell him...

Mr. Jin! My shoes!

- What are you doing?
- Huh?

My noona asked me to send these to her.

Tell her to buy new ones.

The delivery fee will cost more.

Exactly.

You're right.

Are they her favorite pair?

Hold on.

- Uncle, what's wrong?
- Why are you here?

Well, it was more boring than I expected.

Didn't you go to study?

O-Of course! I absolutely didn't go to play games.

- Go back.
- Huh?

Mr. Bo Gyeom is over right now.

- And?
- And...

he must be going through something. He's...

crying.

- Really?
- Yeah.

The situation is pretty bad.

It's that bad?

Gosh, Hyung.

Mr. Lee, are you okay?

Huh?

Yul was at his friend's house. That's right.

- Huh?
- That's right.

Wait...

Mr. Lee, it's all right.

Life is full of ups and downs.

Hyung, you look better now.

- Y-Yeah, yeah...
- Right?

Fighting!

Fighting.

What's wrong with this?

What the?

The door won't open, right?

It wouldn't open earlier.

Really?

It must be broken.

I see.

What's wrong with this?

L-Let's open it next time.

But... But it's my room.

You'll get hurt.

Give it a hard push.

Want to watch a movie?

What movie?

There's one I wanted to watch.

Let's watch that.

Sure, sure. Let's watch a movie.

Which movie?

Met you on a marsh or something.

Fun, right?

I reckon that's a patty.

Well, that's still not bad for a city fellar.

This town certainly takes me back to the time when I was just a little ol' shirttail boy in Kentucky.

[Consultation Room 1]

Can't one kiss be allowed between friends?

No!

Why do I keep thinking about that?

Let's work. Work!

- Unni!
- Yeah.

How is Uncle?

He's receiving dialysis in the treatment room.

His condition suddenly worsened.

According to Woo Taek,

we should be prepared for the worst.

Is your Uncle all right?

Yes, he's admitted for now.

And he finished his dialysis, too.

So, he couldn't turn back into human because he couldn't lift his curse?

Yes.

It was when I was little.

I think it's been about 18 years.

But...

no one knows how this curse all started?

Yes.

Wouldn't you be able to find out how to end it if you figure out how it started?

End it?

Then your uncle, your sister,

and you can all become happy.

I don't think we've ever thought about it like that. We just...

always thought this was a given

ever since we were born.

Nothing is a given.

Ms. Han.

I'll be by your side no matter what happens.

Do you have a conundrum?

Ms. Yoon,

I also saw everything you saw.

I'm also aware of everything.

Ms. Yoon.

Yeah?

Love is so futile, isn't it?

I know.

It'll be futile.

It is futile.

I fainted a couple of days ago.

In the historical archives room.

I need to know

why that happened.

Did you take your anemia medication?

You shouldn't forget to take it.

You must be hiding something.

Mr. Lee, would you like a reading?

Choose three cards.

You're quite a distinguished person.

Although no one recognizes you.

Everyone thinks this is a chicken, but it's actually a phoenix.

Although you smile,

your intentions lie elsewhere.

A bleak wind blows.

This black portion just looks like an empty mountain.

But it was originally a painting of a field covered with silver grass.

You must feel unsettled at even the slightest breeze.

You hover around the door to the afterworld

yearning for someone who's dead.

That's why you abandoned it.

You abandoned your green forest for that dead woman.

To sword dance like some mangnani*.
["Mangnani" means executioner in Korean.]

When the dead woman doesn't even expect you to.

This has...

nothing to do with us, right?

Where did it go...

Yeah, Hyung.

Hyung.

Hyung?

Is he not in?

[A Good Day to be a Dog]

Have you noticed Bo Gyeom acting weird these days?

He seemed unfamiliar, as if he was someone else.

It's this puppy, huh?

The puppy with a story you're entangled with.

That's odd. Dogs usually like me so much that they race up to me.

But I feel like they're avoiding me these days.

Your fever is above 39°C!

They say a piece of metal that's had a taste of blood will continue to thirst for blood.

Who are you?
