Give us the book.
There's no need for us to kill all of you today.
Five.
- Four. - Oh dude, come on.
Three.
Two.
One.
Joon?
"Even if the sky falls on you, there is a hole that you can escape from"
is my favorite saying
because it means there's always a way.
Even when things seem impossible
or everybody says it's hopeless,
if you look hard enough you can find a way.
And I think that's true.
Very good, Claire.
Okay, let's see…
Evan.
Evan?
What's your favorite Korean saying?
I'm hungry?
Yes.
Yes?
Yes.
Thank you.
Korean sayings are going to be on the midterm, so--
Grandma!
If you're going to visit me, visit me.
Hands above your head.
Very good.
Great job, guys.
Where have you been?
It feels like I haven't seen you in…
848 episodes.
- What? - Shh.
Don't forget to breathe.
I was going to say a couple years, but… sure.
Are you back home with your mom again?
Until Claire's phone can zap me back into Dramaworld.
What?
Nothing, grandma.
I'm here…
for now.
LOVE UNDERCOVER, 1988
The boss is ready for you.
The International Games will change everything for us.
This is the first year table tennis is an event,
and when ping pong fever sweeps the nation,
we'll be ready.
Have a seat.
Yes.
If everything goes according to plan,
then we can get out of the drug business once and for all.
But the police have been closing in.
That police captain is the problem.
He'd do anything to bring me down.
Keep your ear to the ground.
I wouldn't put it past him to get a rat in my crew.
There will be a lot of important people here next week.
Government people we need to impress…
And take care of.
This is our big chance.
Of course, boss.
And if we find a dirty little rat…
I'm going to…
make him eat his own body, starting with the ears,
until he's nothing but a stump.
Crazy bastard…
Do you think he's onto you?
Not yet.
That's why I'm going to steal the money.
What?
If I steal it, we slow him down and it buys us time.
We can still catch him.
No!
You're the closest undercover agent I have.
We can't afford to lose you.
Captain!
If he goes legit,
we lose him.
I'll think about it.
Don't start something you're not going to finish.
So,
I guess that's your new leading lady.
Claire, come on. You can't be jealous of a TV show.
I mean, you can, but it's stupid.
He lives in Dramaworld, you live here.
That was your choice, you just need to get over it.
She is really pretty. Huh, Joon?
What are you watching?
Sorry, I just wanted to--
Are-- are-- you okay?
Wait, choking? Are you choking?
Okay, okay.
You know, if we were in there,
I would've just fallen in love with you.
Okay, yeah, I just wanted to…
ask you what you were watching…
Me? Oh!
Love Undercover, 1988.
It's this new K-drama.
Oh, yeah.
Don't tell anyone in class, but I've actually never seen a…
K-drama before.
- Okay. - Oh, oh.
Okay, so…
the first thing you need to know is that the most important
element of a K-drama is the leading man.
But the leading man is nothing without the leading lady.
So I guess that's her then.
Yeah.
By the end, those two are going to kiss
and then they'll fall in love.
And that right there is the happy ending.
And then you're back in the real world in college
and he forgets any of it ever happened!
- Huh? - Nothing.
Okay, so can there be two leading men?
No, no, no.
If there's another guy or girl in the picture,
they are like a second lead
or just a side character or a villain
or a facilitator bent on becoming a leading man
who instead turns into a total supervillain.
But that's unusual.
The point is…
the bad guys are just obstacles to overcome on the path to true love.
LOVE UNDERCOVER, 1988
I wish I had the guidebook. It explains everything.
So like a lot of people like these?
Uh-huh.
It's the perfect escape from the real world.
But why would you want to escape the real world?
Oh…
Did you kill someone?
Maybe we should watch a whole episode.
Okay.
You got to be careful.
Once you go in, there's no turning back.
Well, if this will stop me from flunking Korean,
then I guess I'll have to trust you.
- Wait, why is-- - Shhh!
This, Evan…
is one of the most important elements of a K-drama.
You promised.
You promised you'd never forget me.
What?
I didn't say anything.
Oh, let's see what else is on.
Don't interrupt while he's still got his shirt off!
Grandma, gross!
What?
I'm old, not dead.
Besides!
Rule number three.
No changing the program in the middle of the program.
Oh, come on.
Should we watch the shower part again?
Enough! Enough!
Enough, okay?
He's not supposed to be the leading man, okay?
It was supposed to be me. It was my turn!
But no! That little white girl had to come in and ruin everything!
- No standing in front of the TV! - Sit down, Seth!
It says so in the rules.
I don't care about the rules!
I don't care about the rules, okay?
I don't care about… the rules!
Just because you tear up the rules doesn't mean they go away.
Sit down, Seth.
Sit down!
You?! A leading man? Ha!
Let's just bust him now!
Patience, Ji-won.
But…
He's expecting special guests,
so I decided to pull a few strings to get you in.
Really?!
Wait a sec.
This is how you get in.
What do you think?
You'll be performing--
Whoa. Wait!
I didn't become a cop to squeeze into skin-tight dresses
and sing for gangsters.
And you think I became a police captain
by letting my officers pick and choose their assignments?
Just go learn some songs and you'll be fine.
You're a good singer…
And the dress is pretty.
What have you got?
- Ready? - Mm-hmm.
My name is Evan.
You… I…
I… ate… your… breakfast.
Okay.
The weather…
is thick?
Oh, sorry.
How did you get so good?
I, like, live in the world of K-drama.
That's what it is. I gotta make it immersive.
We should text each other in Korean.
- Oh. - Give me your phone.
I'll text you in Korean
and you text me back in Korean.
Oh, um…
- That's a lot of drawings. - Oh, you know what? Give me your phone.
Awesome.
- I gotta go to class. - Okay.
But I'll text you.
Okay.
- Cool. - Cool.
Okay.
- I'll text you. - Okay. Sure.
- Cool. Goodbye. - Okay. Goodbye.
GONNA LEARN KOREAN WITH MY BROTHER CLAIRE!
Four, five, six, seven…
I want to take all the money from the bank.
Grandma, you can't do that.
This is a stick-up.
That's not how the rules work.
See, if you land on the spot, you have to draw a card.
I want to rob the bank.
You're the one who tore the rules off the wall
and took two Jell-Os.
Grandma, the rules are right here, Okay?
You can't just make up the rules as you go along.
If you could just change the rules, then…
If you could change rules,
then you could change the world.
I'm rich!

She's hot.
- Yep. - Like, really hot.
When are they going to do it?
That's not how K-dramas work, Evan.
They fall in love and then they kiss and then it's over.
And then he'll just start again with someone else,
like none of it even happened. Like she never even existed!
I'm… sorry?
I know you don't remember me.
I know you can't remember me.
But I can't do this anymore, Joon.
I can't watch you fall in love.
It's too hard.
YOU'RE SISTER! NOT BROTHER! I'M LEARNING!
Grandma, you're a genius.
It was always right there, the rules. You change the rules, you change the game.
That's nice, Seth.
I had Dramaworld in the palm of my hands, and I never even knew it.
You'll get them next time.
Yes! Next time.
When I get back to Dramaworld, I'm going to change the rules.
No more facilitating.
No more standing in the background. I'm going to rule.
Because there's only one thing better than love.
And that's power.
Not just here to sing,
are we?
Oh!
This isn't the ladies' room?
Who do you work for?
I don't think you understand what you're involved in.
Things aren't always as simple as they seem.
No?
Then why don't you just pretend like you never saw me?
Because it's not that simple either.
Give me the briefcase.
This isn't going to end well for you.
- Kiss me! - What?
Kiss me now!
What the…
- What's wrong with you? - Are you kidding me?
- Wait, are you kidding me? - No.
Joon Park, Ji-won, that kiss!
They kissed?
Hard.
It's only been five episodes.
You know, have I thanked you yet for introducing me to K-drama
because life changed, mind blown!
- It's not real life in there, though. - Yeah, I know. It's better.
- No, it doesn't have to be. - Huh?
Whoa.
I-- I have to get to work.
Text me later.
You told me you'd remember.
You told me you wouldn't forget.
I-- I--
You told me you loved me.
I love you, Joon Park.
This is true love's kiss.
I love you, Claire.
Claire.
I remember.
Claire, I remember.
Claire…
What?
Duncan.
I love Claire Duncan.
Joon.
No, no, no.
How can I find Claire Duncan?
- Joon? - Claire.
Finally, I found you.
We need you. Dramaworld needs you.
Sam, dinner.
Sam?
