[bright, spirited music playing]
[Kitty] It's been a month since Min Ho and I officially started dating.
I've always known him as Min Ho, my friend.
But as Min Ho, my boyfriend?
Well, our relationship just hits different.
In the obvious ways.
But in the surprising ways too.
Like, he's a total gentleman. Who knew?
Even though I can get my own banchan, thank you very much.
But okay, it's sweet that he pays attention to the little things.
I like to think I'm opening up his world a little too.
With my Sunset List, for example,
which he finds completely embarrassing half the time.
But I'm his girlfriend now, so I get to make him be embarrassing with me.
I think he secretly likes it.
We were friends for so long,
I thought I knew everything there is to know about him.
But as it turns out, we're still getting to know each other.
If only a pesky thing called school
would stop getting in the way of our relationship.
Of course, the hardest class at KISS is the one I need to graduate.
And I get that Jiwon said no more special cousin favors,
but she could at least, like, pity me for my sucky Korean.
What about me? I'm fluent.
For Monday, read Yi Kwang-su's Mujong,
a ten-page essay on the Japanese occupation of Korea
for historical context.
-[students groan] -[bell rings]
[Jiwon] Have a good weekend.
Jiwon, I love Korean Lit as much as the next teen,
but Professor Lee doesn't even assign this much homework in his class.
Oh, I'm aware.
When I showed him my syllabus, he nearly wept with joy.
That's great.
Well, this weekend, Min Ho is shooting a music video for Eunice's debut single,
and I really want to be there to support him.
So is there any chance I could just get a small extension?
No, Kitty. You're already too focused on your boyfriend
and not on what really matters, this class.
[Kitty] I love my cousin, but I am not a fan of my teacher right now.
Hi.
Um, Professor Ahn. I was just heading to the supply closet.
I was wondering if you needed any Post-it Notes, staples?
I may be new, but I can assure you
that my classroom is well-stocked, Professor Finnerty.
Great. Well, if you did need anything, my office is just down the, um, hall.
[quirky music playing]
[Kitty] How did I not see this sooner?
It's a grumpy sunshine match made in heaven!
[bright, energetic music playing]
I am telling you, Alex and my cousin have serious chemistry.
-I don't see it. -Me neither.
What are we talking about?
What a cute couple Alex and Jiwon are going to make.
I shall call them "Jilex."
I don't see it.
Oh my God, can everyone stop doubting my matchmaking skills and trust me?
All right, calm down. Fine, you can do your thing.
Besides, we've got a thousand things to do before Eunice's video shoot.
I can't believe your dad rented the aquarium for Eunice.
Will Baby Moo Moo make a cameo?
Baby who-who?
Baby Moo Moo, the newborn manatee,
only the most viral thing on the planet right now?
Yeah, unfortunately no Baby Moo Moo,
but I did cast Tae-Oh for Eunice's video shoot.
Ew, the handsy limo guy?
I know, he's not exactly my first choice, but he's Dad's client.
Oh, but guess who's designing Eunice's costumes?
-Yisoo. -Wow! After my dress fiasco on the yacht?
That's amazing. I didn't think your dad would get over that, let alone Yisoo.
I have no idea what changed her mind,
but Eunice and I are meeting her new assistant later
to go over costumes.
Well, I have to get going on my Korean lit homework.
-But I'd rather spend time with you. -[chuckles]
-Mm. -I have to go.
Yeah, but what if we squeeze in a quick Korean lesson?
-Bye. -[chuckles] Bye.
-Are we that annoying? -God, I hope not.
I was thinking I need a Korean lesson too.
[in Korean] Want me to teach you?
Exactly.
It's all about the tongue.
Oh, is it now?
Try to keep the tip of your tongue lightly pressed behind your front teeth.
[speaking Korean]
What am I even saying anyway?
It means, "You are so handsome."
-[scoffs] -[chuckles]
[whines] I think I'm going to be… [retches]
…sick.
-Oh! Is she okay? -Yeah, she's just stressed.
Honestly, I am as well. There's a lot riding on her debut.
After all the money Dad spent on the video,
we really can't afford a flop.
All right, I better go check on her.
By the way, can you keep an eye out for Yisoo's assistant?
She should be here any minute now.
Yeah, and don't be stressed. You've got this. And I've got you.
[quietly] Okay.
[funky music playing]
[Kitty] Damn. Who is that?
Oh my God, she's coming towards me.
Oh my God, she's here!
[in Korean] Excuse me, by chance do you know where Min Ho Kang is?
-Oh, um… -Ah.
[in English] Sorry, Thought you spoke Korean.
You must be Yisoo's assistant.
-Min Ho's super excited to meet you. -[Min Ho] Noona?
[in Korean] Hey, you don't come greet your noona?
-[chuckles] -[sighs]
-What are you doing here? -You know, I just wanted to surprise you.
What a great surprise!
You look amazing. I can't believe you're here!
[Kitty in English] Is it me, or is Min Ho blushing? Who is this girl?
Uh, my Korean's not perfect, but I heard you say noona?
Do you already know each other?
I'm sorry, Kitty, this is Gigi. She's a
family friend.
Wait, so you're working for Yisoo? I mean, you already had impeccable style.
But this is next level! Does this mean you're moving back to Seoul?
-What happened to FIT? -Okay, take a breath.
That's a cool job for someone still in college.
I took a semester off after I landed the Yisoo job,
but I had no idea you were Eunice's manager until--
Damn! Did I miss the big reunion?
Mwah.
-What's up, Kathy? -Wait. Is this your doing?
Well, when I heard you were working for Yisoo,
I figured you were the perfect person to get this one back on track.
Plus, you two together again? Fire!
I can't believe you got Yisoo to give me and Eunice a second chance.
Don't act so surprised. I'd take a bullet for you.
-Literally. -[Min Ho] Noona… [sighs]
You're the best.
So, I'll see you at the video shoot.
That's the gig.
Yisoo fired her part-time third assistant, so until she hires someone else,
I'm doing both jobs.
That sounds like a huge responsibility for someone who stole her dad's--
I did not steal my dad's Porsche. We borrowed it.
Yeah, that was a crazy night.
[both laugh]
[Gigi chuckles]
How crazy are we talkin'?
Long story.
[Kitty] Mm.
So, um, should we go find Eunice?
Bye.
Gigi's pretty lush, isn't she?
It'll be great for Min Ho to have a family friend at the shoot.
The more the merrier.
A family friend? Is that all you call Gigi?
It's just a funny way to put it.
Don't get me wrong, I mean,
Min Ho's family absolutely adores Gige, but…
You know, his feelings were just a little bit more intense.
Oh, like, Min Ho used to have a crush on her or something?
I mean, can you blame him? She's so cool.
I mean, hard agree. But just real talk, she wasn't just a crush.
She was Min Ho's first love.
[somber music playing]
-[excited chatter] -[energetic music playing]
-Hey. How'd you sleep? -[chuckles]
Fine. Did anyone see you sneak out?
No, I think the coast was clear.
Oh! I was thinking maybe, if you're free,
would you want to come to the Zanele Muholi exhibition?
Or we could go dancing at that club in Itaewon.
[sighs]
Okay. Okay, let's do culture.
-Let's do culture. -Yeah.
[both chuckle]
-Okay. I'll see you later. -Okay, bye.
Black sesame latte, right?
I can buy my own coffee.
I'm hoping we can move past our weirdness for Juliana's sake.
I saw on Instagram you like these,
so I figured I'd get you one as a peace offering.
Please take it.
-[chuckles] -Thanks.
[gentle music playing]
Find anything interesting on Gigi's socials?
Other than photos of her looking chic?
There's one at Nobu with Min Ho's mom, and one at Coachella with Min Ho's dad.
Did I mention that his family loves her?
Min Ho is with you now. Why does any of this matter?
I don't know.
Maybe because his dad made it clear he doesn't think I belong in his world,
and Gigi clearly does.
I mean, they both obviously have all this history,
they both speak Korean, and they both look annoyingly good in jorts. So…
-[sighs] No wonder she was his first love. -[scoffs] First loves ain't all that.
Really? How long did it take you to get over Juliana?
I… will let you know.
Mm-hmm.
Whatever. The only reason I even brought Gigi up
is because she's looking for someone to be Yisoo's part-time third assistant.
You'd be perfect for the job.
I don't know. I was the one that put you in that stolen Yisoo dress.
Yes. In hindsight, not your finest moment, but you had a lot going on that night.
Anyway, you could come with me to Eunice's video shoot,
help Gigi with the wardrobe stuff.
And assist you in keeping tabs on Min Ho while Gigi's around?
To be a good assistant, you gotta learn to multitask.
And to be a good girlfriend, you gotta chill.
Yuri's right. I'm spiraling for nothing.
Min Ho's always been Team Kitty.
And it's about time I show him I'm Team Min Ho.
[phone chimes]
[energetic pop music playing]
[knocking on door]
-Hey. Uh, Min Ho's just getting ready. -Ah.
I think he's a bit stressed about the video.
Yeah.
Oh, and speaking of,
I've been thinking about going to the shoot to support Eunice.
I'm sure she would love that.
-You look amazing. -Oh.
-Hi. -Hi.
But it's not that kind of date.
Look, I know you're stressed, so I booked us a spa date.
I got your favorite facialist to do that serumy thing.
And matching sweatsuits.
Shoot. I'm so sorry, Covey.
Something came up. I've just been so busy.
Gigi and I have an emergency wardrobe meeting.
Eunice vetoed all her costumes.
Oh, uh, that sounds so stressful. I'm sorry.
Yes, but luckily, Gigi's quite talented.
She's already putting together a whole new concept.
Wow. Gigi to the rescue.
What is the story with you two anyway?
Uh, we've basically been friends since we were toddlers.
Gigi's mum's an actress too. We used to mess around the red carpets.
Sounds glamorous. When was the last time you two saw each other?
Don't know. Before she left for FIT, I guess.
-What's with all the questions? -Mm.
I'm gonna go.
[Kitty sighs]
Marius told me that Gigi was your first love.
And it made me feel kinda weird watching you be all goofy around her.
With all your inside jokes, and, well, she is unnervingly cool.
[sighs]
You have nothing to worry about.
Whatever feelings I had, it's in the past.
And whatever you and I have is in the present.
And besides, if it wasn't for the costume crisis,
I'd be on the perfect spa date with my perfect girl.
That's you, by the way.
I might even wear that fire hazard. [chuckles]
I promise not to let you walk past any open flames.
[Min Ho] Mm.
Mm.
-[grunts playfully] -[giggles]
See you at the shoot.
[Kitty] If I'm gonna be a good girlfriend,
I need to be there for Min Ho this weekend.
Which means I need to win Jiwon over with a perfect date of her own.
Jiwon! I heard some teachers are going to the Cat Café this weekend.
-Maybe you and Alex could-- -No, thank you.
-What about gelato? -Uh, I have grading.
Have you heard of Baby Moo Moo?
Baby Moo Moo? Who hasn't? She's the hottest ticket in Seoul.
The entire aquarium is sold out for weeks.
What if I told you I could get you in?
Then would you give me a tiny extension on that essay?
For a national treasure?
Oh my gosh. I cannot believe I get to see Baby Moo Moo!
I mean, it's no Australian Dugong,
which I understand is a close cousin to the manatee.
And speaking of cousins…
What?
Professor Finnerty, what are you doing here?
Kitty invited me.
I didn't know you'd be here. What a pleasant surprise.
Ah.
Please tell me this isn't some kind of secret blind date.
Well, I should be getting to set now.
But you two get your Moo Moo on.
I will, uh, check in later.
Have fun.

[Kitty] Okay, Kitty. Be cool.
Oh God. I didn't overdress, did I?
Hey, Kitty. You look amazing.
Oh, this? It's nothing.
Oh, well, I go full dirtbag on shoot days, so…
[chuckles]
Confirming. I overdressed. Crap.
Um…
-[Yuri] Hi. -Oh, this is Yuri.
-Hi. -She volunteered to help today.
And I'm also willing to work for money
if you're still looking for a third assistant.
Oh, also, I saw on Instagram that you like iced turmeric lattes.
You must have scrolled really far back. I think I got this, like, a year ago?
But… thanks.
Okay, I'm gonna be over there.
Uh, have you seen Min Ho?
Yeah, they're over there,
arguing about whether or not Tae-Oh should be wearing a shirt.
Got it.
This is such a big day for Min Ho. I just want everything to go well.
I'm sure, especially after all that stuff with Eunice's dress on the yacht.
Uh, Marius told me.
Hmm. Well, it was an honest mistake, I swear.
Obviously.
Uh, I… I think that's my cue.
Maybe I can help too.
[Min Ho in Korean] Please just think about this.
Why would you be shirtless in an aquarium?
Do I have to say it?
[Gigi] Ah.
Tae-Oh, I understand what you're saying.
But Yisoo made this tank top especially for you.
Really?
[Kitty in English] If they were arguing in English, I'd problem-solve this.
But they're not, so I need to figure out how else to make myself useful.
What are you doing here?
The same as you. I'm supporting Min Ho.
[scoffs] Please, the only reason you're supportive is if it benefits you.
As if you're here purely out of the goodness of your heart.
What other reason would I have?
I don't know. Gee, maybe you wanted to take a selfie with Baby Moo Moo.
Okay, maybe I had an impromptu photo shoot this morning.
Well, I mean, no one can blame you. She is cute.
And you have a knack for taking a one-of-a-kind self-portrait.
You deleted the pic I sent you this summer like you promised, right?
Q, relax. You can trust me.

This isn't working, and we're late.
I hate this choreo!
Well, it's too late to change it.
[sighs] Okay, then can we at least take five? I have to pee.
Can't you just hold it?
[chuckles] No, not when we're surrounded by water!
[scoffs] Can somebody please get me green juice?
That will just make you pee even more. [sighs]
-I've never seen her like this. -Hey, don't worry. I will get her juice.
Min Ho, I think I know what's wrong.
Eunice and Tae-Oh probably hooked up on tour, now she feels weird around him.
Are you serious?
If their fans figure this out, both their careers will be ruined.
And my dad will kill me. My dad will kill me.
Hey, hey, hey. Don't worry. I think I have an idea.
[sighs]
Have you seen where Min Ho went?
Yeah, he just went along with Gige.
I'm glad I got them back together. They make a brilliant team, don't they?
[sighs]
[melancholy music playing]
You're watching Baby Moo Moo do the backstroke,
and you're not even smiling.
Something's up.
Gigi was Min Ho's first love.
Dae was your first love. You got over him, right?
No, but Gigi and Min Ho still have a connection.
I've been watching them all day
and I don't know how to be there for Min Ho. Not like she does.
I wish Marius never even told me.
Wait. You're telling me Marius put Gigi and Min Ho back in touch
and made sure you knew about their history?
This guy loves leveraging secrets to mess with people.
-Oh my God, I'm so screwed! -Oh my God, I'm being played.
You first.
Marius is totally just using Gigi to make me feel insecure about Min Ho,
and gaslighting me.
But that ends now. I am not being sidelined. Okay, your turn.
So, over the summer I may have sent Marius a photo
that you don't send when you're in a committed relationship.
-Q! -I know, and I'm not proud of it.
And it's not an excuse, but…
Jin hadn't visited me at USC, and I was super lonely.
Marius told me he deleted the photo, but I don't know if I believe him.
If he wants to mess with your relationship,
that photo's gonna do it.
And if you don't want Marius leveraging that against you,
I think you have to tell Jin the truth. There's no other way.
Okay. Wish me luck.
What are you doing? You can't iron silk on high heat.
[gasps] Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I didn't know.
My maid used to do this for me.
This was our only backup dress.
I get that you want to help, but… don't.
Oh. Sorry.
[in Korean] Hey, is Eunice around?
What's that?
Macarons. I ordered them overnight.
Eunice loved them on her Paris tour stop.
I just wanted to remind her what she's working so hard for.
-Are you okay? -No, I totally messed up.
There's no way I'm getting this job now.
Hey, if you want this job half as much as I want Eunice back,
don't give up.
[in English] Wish me luck.
[Gigi] Action!
-♪ You ♪ -[ringtone plays]

Phones in the bin.
Hey, you signed an NDA.
Um… thanks. Thank you.
Thank you, Dae. Always a team player. You too.
Oh, thank you, guys. You'll get it at the end of the day.
All right, listen up, everyone!
Gigi, Eunice, and I just worked out a new scene.
All right, the song "EUNIQ" is about a unique woman, not a man.
By the way, brilliant idea, Gige.
So, Tae-Oh will be in the background, and can someone get my star a fresh juice?
-[Kitty] That's my cue! -I got it. [chuckles]
[gasps]
Are you kidding me? Dude…
[onlookers murmuring]
-[in Korean] Are you okay? -[in English] I am so sorry.
I can't believe I'm doing this again. Please, please let me help.
Maybe you shouldn't, Covey.
Gigi, can you fix this?
-[Gigi] No, I'm not a designer. -I can fix the dress.
Yes, yes, great idea.
If anybody can turn this dress into something incredible, it's Yuri.
Let me try. I know what I'm doing.
And frankly, we don't really have any other choice.
Please, allow me.
[sighs]
I told you I deleted it.
I'm just supposed to believe you?
You thrive on chaos.
You reached out to Gigi to mess with Kitty and Min Ho's relationship.
Yeah, because Kitty messed with ours first.
For the last time, we're not in a relationship. I'm with Jin.
I deleted the picture, but you can't delete the fact that you sent it.
Obviously, you still have feelings for me, Q.
I don't know why you're so afraid to admit that.

I'm sorry.
No, thanks for telling me.
-[in English] Hey. -Hey.
I know I've been acting a little crazy.
I just wanted to be a supportive girlfriend
and have your back.
But then, Gigi showed up, and you guys are so in sync,
and you have all this history and you just seem,
like, effortless together.
So, I guess I felt…
Threatened? [chuckles]
Don't be.
Kitty, you and I aren't effortless, but…
I do like that you make me do things I wouldn't normally do.
Like doing that stupid Gangnam dance.
And you do have my back.
You believe in me more than I believe in myself sometimes.
And sure, maybe you go overboard now and then, but…
I wouldn't change a thing.
Really?
Yes. And thanks to that Senior Sunset List,
we're making some amazing memories together.
Well, I'm happy to do more things you like too.
You mean like our spa date?
Which I hope is still on. [chuckles]
I'll even wear the sweatsuit.
[chuckles] Well, as much as I would love a massage,
I have a ten-page essay due Tuesday.
Tell you what, let me wrap up here,

Hi, roomies.
[Juliana] You're in a good mood.
-I got a job interview with Yisoo. -[grunting]
-Oh my God. [chuckles] -What? That's sick.
Oh, and I totally ripped off your coffee move, which worked.
Just not in the way I expected.
You can tell me all the details over an iced chai when you get the job.
-[squeals] Okay. -[grunts] You've met your match.
Oh my God.
I didn't realize you two were getting so close.
-Care to catch me up? -I think we're becoming friends.
-[Madison grunting] Stay down. -Oh.
-[grunts] -[Praveena] Oh, you… Okay.
You've met your master.
Hey. How'd it go with Alex?
I don't know, Kitty. He left right after you did.
What? Why?
Because if we'd known this was a setup, we wouldn't have come.
There are rules against teachers dating.
If Principal Lee found out, we could be fired.
-I didn't mean to cause-- -I'm not an idiot, Kitty.
I've seen Clueless.
Whatever spark you think we have doesn't exist.
I find his cheerfulness annoying, his accent unintelligible,
and his love of boat shoes just deranged.
Wow, okay. I thought the preppy look kind of worked for him--
Stop. This isn't about me and Alex at all.
It's about you.
You manipulated me so you could spend more time with your boyfriend,
who I still think you're too focused on, by the way.
And you put my job in danger, again.
You definitely don't have your priorities straight,
so I'm gonna help you with that.
I'm taking back your extension and adding ten pages to your essay.
No, if I don't pass your class, I'm not gonna graduate.
Then I suggest you hit the books. Hard.
