will the craving go away?

Damn it!

Stop pooping guys.

Eating and pooping all the time.

That's why you'll always be

just damn birds.

Poop!

Poop! That's it!

That's it! Poop! Poop!

This could work!

Wait, wait, wait!

Think bird brain!

What do birds eat?

That's it!

If they eat and

can't digest the seeds...

What happens to the seeds?

See!

It'll work!

This will definitely work!

Why am I talking to you?

There's definitely a seed

in here somewhere!

Start scraping!

It's working!

This scraps it good!

Finally getting use

out of this card!

It's poop! Poop!

First, I must find good soil.

How can I do that?

Of course.

To make a field,

I have to dig up furrows.

And I also need manure.

Things I need

keep popping into mind!

I'm suddenly getting smarter.

Desire makes humans smarter.

Always constipation or diarrhea...

When's the last time

I made some good poop?

This can't make good fertilizer.

I have to get healthier.

I must make healthy poop.

And...

I have to make a lot.

Taking dinosaur DNA

from a fossilized

mosquito and

making Jurassic Park...

Or finding a wheat seed in bird poop

and making black bean noodles...

which has the higher probability?

I should hope for a miracle.

But it doesn't matter.

I got all the time in the world.

It's salty.

I made this salty taste

on my own.

Maybe it's because

I ate bland tasting food.

I couldn't be more proud

of my salty tasting self.

I feel like the

most delicious thing

at the top of the

evolutionary chain.

I'm damn delicious.

I'm good!

I know how you feel, bud.

This suit can turn you

into a scarecrow.

No need for this anymore.

Hopeful retail price: 85 cents

Hope

I've been watching him

for 2 months.

This is my mini homepage

of the alien

who can only be seen

from my window.

He is shy.

Likes dirty things.

Enjoys adventures.

He's a total freak.

And he's very curious about

Earth's black bean noodles.

Will I be invited to join...

this lonely alien's community?

I must go out into the Earth.

Can I do it without NASA's help?

Just once.

Only onetime.

Representing the 6 billion

people on Earth...

I'll reply to an alien's message.

Since Armstrong...

This is another

giant step for mankind.

Blast off!

See you later, hon.

Didn't you find the note?

Why aren't you replying?

It's a sprout!

Fast and easy loans like shopping.

Don't lose hope.

Banana flavor.

Don't you think?

It's gotta be.

It has to be meant for me.

Then why else

would it be there?

It said, 'Hello'.

You know what that means?

Think about it.

It means someone's been

watching me.

A freak? A psycho?

After 3 months and 17days.

I finally got a reply.

The images and sound

are slowly getting clearer.

You're sleepy.

That's right, a pen-pal.

Writing to someone you don't know.

Then you get curious

and imagine who it might be.

It's an international pen-pal

cuz it's in English.

But it's the best

when you don't know who it is.

It doesn't matter who it is.

Right?

Hey, pal!

Startin' to ignore me?

What's wrong?

Going through puberty or somethin'?

Corn...Corn!

See this?

We can make noodles

with corn powder!

It's corn! Corn!

Corn!

Yes, hello.

You know Bam Island on Han River?

How much for the duck boat?

Damn it!

Damn! Why me!

Hello!

Anyone here?

Black bean noodles delivery.

Black bean noodles...

Hey!

Ah, some woman sent this.

Regular black bean noodles.

Black bean noodles with onions.

Sea food black bean noodles.

And this is on the house.

It's true...

We're supposed to

deliver anywhere.

But this is going way overboard.

Enjoy your meal and...

keep the dishes.

Wait!

The woman...

What does she look like?

Man, I'd like to see her face, too.

Hey, wait!

God damn it!

I don't care!

Deliver it yourself,

eat it, or throw it out!

My legs are all cramped!

Wait!

What's with you two...

That man...

Didn't he say something?

What did he say?

You two are really somethin'.

You're breaking my heart.

He told me to tell you...

a bowl of black bean noodles is...

hope to him.

I'd stay away from him.

And keep the dishes.

Hope.

I haven't heard that

in a hundred years.

I'm tasting the giant hope

the man sent me.

It is truly the taste of hope.

Truly.

Truly

Are you awake?

Do you need anything?

Then I'll be going, now.

Wait...

I'd like to raise some corn.

What?

Corn.

Corn?

Can you get me the seeds,

pots, and other things?

Sure.

I'll get you the corn.

Me, too.

How long do I have to

keep doing this?

Congratulations.

Hello?

How are you?

Fine, thank you.

And you?

Fine, thank you.

Where are you from?

Korea? Really?

Oh my god!

Me, too! I'm Korean.

From Do-bong-gu.

And...I...

I hope to see you.

Who are you?

What's going on?

Where is it?

Where's the bottle?

This looks familiar.

That's my friend!

Who are you!

This is a fake homepage, people!

I saw the real one!

Crazy b*tch! Die!

Why...

Why!

Hey!

Fierce wind and heavy rainfall

is expected overnight.

Let's switch to the weather

for details.

Reporter HAN?

A typhoon warning is in effect

in the southeast.

It's okay! Don't worry!

It'll pass in a flash!

Don't worry!

Don't worry!

Everything will be okay.

I can't even have this?

It's not much...

Just about to start, sir.

Don't worry. Bye.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

You're not allowed to be here, sir.

Must be homeless, sir.

We came to clean...

Stop!

Stop right there!

What's going on?

Catch him! Get him!

This is my land!

I have to stay here!

Catch him!

Bastard!

This is a conservation area.

It's restricted to the public!

Let me just stay here, please?

I won't do anything bad.

I gotta get the replies.

Put some clothes on him, first.

Give it up, mister.

Let's go.

Come on! Let's go!

Let's just go.

He's practically Tarzan.

Like a savage.

Does this go to the 63 Building?

Is something up?

No. Nothing.

Attention citizens!

This is the Civil Defense Corps.

Attention citizens!

This is the Civil Defense Corps.

This is an air-raid drill.

Once in spring and in fall.

That day comes twice a year.

Something is up.

My...

name is...

KIM Jung-yeon.

Who are you?
