EP 01

Stars Falling from the Sky

Mar 25, 2019

A meteor punches through the guesthouse floor just as the rent runs out, so Woo-sik fakes a love confession to the landlady to keep her away from the hole, and the lie turns into a date. Joon-ki and Ki-bong take extra work on a mountain shoot and get stranded. Woo-sik’s wedding-singing gig turns out to be his first love Soo-yeon’s ceremony, which collapses when her father’s company goes bankrupt. She ends the night hiding in their car trunk.

EP 02

Small Lies Snowball into Big Ones

Mar 26, 2019

Woo-sik’s lie to the landlady keeps growing: she thinks Soo-yeon is unwell, and Soo-yeon thinks the same of her. Joon-ki fights to keep a period-drama bit part opposite a smug star and loses the battle with his bladder. With debt collectors at Soo-yeon’s house, the three friends sneak in for her phone and end up in a wardrobe loaded onto a truck. When her fiance and his mother drop her over money, the trio turn up as first loves one, two and three to take her things back.

EP 03

The World That They Live In

Apr 1, 2019

Soo-yeon dresses up to find a job in a week, bets Woo-sik on it and loses in forehead flicks. Jung-eun gets her promo work in a bear costume, and a passer-by reports her as an escaped brown bear, so police tranquilise her and Woo-sik races to the ER. He tells her to stop being precious about work she dislikes. Joon-ki fakes a TV tip about Ki-bong never feeling cold, which lands Ki-bong in hospital. The episode ends with Woo-sik’s sister about to arrive.

EP 04

Troublemaker Sister

Apr 2, 2019

Woo-sik’s older sister Yu-ri arrives and gets a flat goodbye, so she works on Ki-bong with a story about a roommate who stole her deposit and sneaks in. When Joon-ki nearly catches her she kisses Ki-bong, his first kiss, then dives into his shower stall. Woo-sik tests whether anyone besides Soo-yeon makes his heart race, finds none does, and Yu-ri overhears and records it, earning a room. Soo-yeon ends the night by telling him he, not the senior who kissed her, was her first love.

EP 05

Dreams Come True

Apr 8, 2019

Soo-yeon sets Woo-sik up on a blind date, Yu-ri reads it as bait and talks him into a full confession, then realises it was a misunderstanding and stops him with a backspin elbow, leaving him in a jaw brace. Egged on by a UFC broadcast, Joon-ki and Ki-bong stage a duel that ends with a schoolboy robbing and beating both. Ki-bong buys Joon-ki’s lucky dream, then flunks his tryout paired with a veteran who repeats every move four times, while Jung-eun is talked back into acting.

EP 06

Singing Lesson

Apr 9, 2019

Learning Soo-yeon likes kind men, Woo-sik tries to be one, which gets hard once her singing lessons reveal she is hopelessly tone-deaf. His patience breaks when she says she wants a better teacher. Joon-ki, finding her lonely and out of work, offers to be her boyfriend and then mistakes Woo-sik’s meddling for interest in himself. Ki-bong sets Yu-ri up with a senior teammate whose looks win her over until his donkey laugh and equally loud family arrive.

EP 07

Pervert in the Guesthouse

Apr 15, 2019

Joon-ki and Jung-eun compete for the same beggar role and she out-dirties him, so he follows a real beggar and begs to be taught. Soo-yeon starts at Woo-sik’s live club and errs constantly, and his rent-hike protest ends with half a shaved head just as it is called off. A lost snake sends Joon-ki under a bed beside an intruder in the women’s dorm. Yu-ri keeps dating the senior for Ki-bong’s sake, until she learns Ki-bong has been released after his shoulder gave out.

EP 08

Dear My Friends

Apr 16, 2019

Seeing Soo-yeon wish for a dream, Woo-sik remembers she once wanted to be an announcer and takes event gigs to pay for lessons, including a gangster’s wife’s birthday party where she is a fan. Ki-bong, released and refusing to eat, is quietly won over by a chocolate from Yu-ri, then falls apart when Joon-ki bins the box. Jung-eun crushes on an announcer, and Joon-ki engineers meetings that end in a fart at an alphorn club. When he hears the man’s reputation, he leaves a shoot to punch him, and Soo-yeon fills in as reporter.

EP 09

Getting a Job

Apr 22, 2019

Soo-yeon takes speech lessons, returns to the producer who wrote her off and lands her first reporter shoot, then keeps falling asleep during an interview with a retired conductor turned sheep farmer, fighting it with menthol and wasabi until the crew has dozed off too. Ki-bong, who has quit baseball and poetry, writes his first resume and starts as a car dealer, spending a whole day helping a family instead of selling. Joon-ki forces the announcer to apologise to Jung-eun, which sets her heart racing.

EP 10

Securing Your Place

Apr 23, 2019

Joon-ki becomes the face of a children’s show as a good-manners uncle, and his young fans begin policing his life, from the parsley garnish he eats to a goodbye kiss that gets him reported. Ki-bong enters a quiz show with Yu-ri coaching and misses the 40 million won prize by answering the final name question with a rice cake brand. Yu-ri tries to catch a wanted man and is wrong. Soo-yeon hits a rude producer with chicken feet, and Woo-sik tells her he likes her, drunk.

EP 11

Goodbye, My Love

Apr 29, 2019

Soo-yeon remembers nothing of Woo-sik’s drunken confession, which relieves him until Joon-ki and Yu-ri push him to try again. Tinnitus, a sketchbook accident and a scratched cornea wreck every attempt, until he pulls her out of traffic and blurts that he worries because he likes her. She declines, saying work comes first. Jung-eun dresses up, Joon-ki mocks her and then carries her home asking for lifelong friendship, and Woo-sik tries calling Soo-yeon a friend, until a hotteok stall undoes him.

EP 12

Do Whatever It Takes

Apr 30, 2019

Woo-sik plays it cool after the rejection and buries himself in composing, but cannot concentrate. Soo-yeon, learning how much he has done, tries to replace a Kim Kwang-seok album that Joon-ki and Jung-eun smashed, and the first seller sends seaweed in an LP sleeve. A label wants to buy his song, so he sells it on condition that he produce it with a former trainee singing, which Soo-yeon sees up close. Yu-ri and Ki-bong open a food truck, with failed fire-breathing, a flat tyre and a first profit.

EP 13

All a Mistake

May 6, 2019

Ki-bong and Yu-ri wake in the same bed with a repair crew at the door and barely escape. Each privately hopes the other likes them, then each calls it a mistake, and a food-truck argument sends them off drinking with others to provoke a reaction. A shouting match ends with both saying stop drinking with strangers, and they agree on one date. Joon-ki, standing in on a shoot led by a school junior, learns his audition role was taken from another actor by pressure, gives it up and says he has quit acting.

EP 14

Where are We Headed To?

May 7, 2019

Joon-ki lies flat after quitting, so Jung-eun confesses her own embarrassments, then admits, drunk, that she liked him. She takes him to meet the actor whose part he took, and his apology earns an offer to join a stage play. Ki-bong and Yu-ri’s first date flops on clashing tastes and nosebleeds, until she faces down a cheating claw-machine owner and he wades in for her scarf, and a secret romance begins. Soo-yeon, unfairly suspected by Woo-sik’s student Min-ah, grows jealous.

EP 15

Why Do I Feel This Way?

May 13, 2019

After intense rehearsals, Joon-ki is about to open his play. Jung-eun cheers him on backstage, then brings Min-joon, a friend from her recent shoots, to the show. Joon-ki bristles when Min-joon comforts her, tells her to bring him over for inspection, and gets drunk first. Woo-sik, sick with a cold, takes Soo-yeon to her presentation and collapses. Soo-yeon rushes to the ER only to hear Min-ah confess her feelings, leaving the two of them out of step again.

EP 16

Goodbye, Waikiki

May 14, 2019

The finale puts the season’s three open questions to bed: whether Yu-ri and Ki-bong’s relationship comes out, whether Soo-yeon admits she likes Woo-sik, and whether Joon-ki understands why Jung-eun dating someone else bothers him. In OSEN’s account a CCTV clip exposes Yu-ri and Ki-bong, her pregnancy follows and Ki-bong proposes, while Woo-sik releases his first single as Soo-yeon’s father urges a move to the US. The Ending Explained section below covers how press reports describe each answer.

Spoiler territory from here — the finale, fully unpacked.

Woo-sik and Soo-yeon settle it The Fact’s finale report has Soo-yeon leaving for the United States with her father, then coming back and kissing Woo-sik to show him how she feels. Newsis words it more briefly, saying the two confirm their feelings for each other.

Joon-ki finally names it Joon-ki and Jung-eun end the series as a couple, a point both Newsis and The Fact report. The Fact adds the route: Joon-ki tries to date someone else out of jealousy and realises in the process that what he feels for Jung-eun is love. That follows from episode 15, where he sees her with another man and cannot hide how it lands.

Ki-bong and Yu-ri come out in the open The secret relationship between Ki-bong and Yu-ri is exposed when Woo-sik catches them kissing, according to The Fact. The same report says Yu-ri’s pregnancy then comes out and Ki-bong proposes with a championship ring. Newsis describes it as a marriage; The Fact describes a promise to marry. The two accounts agree on the direction and differ on how far the finale takes it.

The three questions the finale was asked The episode 16 synopsis asked three things: would everyone learn about Ki-bong and Yu-ri, would Soo-yeon realise she likes Woo-sik, and would Joon-ki see that he is jealous of Jung-eun’s date. Going by the two reports, all three get a yes. Each of the three guesthouse friends ends the season paired with the person the story had been steering them toward.

What the reports leave out Neither report we read says what happens to the guesthouse itself, or whether Woo-sik’s music and Joon-ki’s acting careers move forward. Treat the coupling outcomes above as the confirmed part of the ending and anything beyond them as unreported. The finale drew 1.3% nationwide on TNMS’s paid-household count (Kyunghyang).
