In 1992, comedian Kim Shin Young…
…drank her dad's aphrodisiac...
...by mistake and started to gain weight.
She's been obese ever since.
At that time…
…she was 9.
In 1994, movie star Park Hae Il…
…had a misfortunate motorcycle accident…
…a day before his SAT exam.
He was hospitalized for 12 weeks…
…and ended up having to take the test in a school infirmary.
At that time…
…he was 19.
In 2000, pro wrestler Sim Kwon Ho…
…had a bad breakup with his girlfriend.
Apparently, she married another guy…
…as soon as she dumped him.
Deeply traumatized, Sim has been…
…an old bachelor for 14 years.
Back in 2000…
…he was 29.
That's not all.
In 2005, comedian Lee Gyeong Ae was hosting an event.
She was electrocuted by the mic out of the blue.
She stated she felt her…
…"soul springing out of her body."
After that, she had to take a long break…
…due to fear of microphones.
Even to this day, for events…
…she wears rubber gloves that don't conduct electricity.
Eerily, she happened to be…
…39 that year.
It can't be explained scientifically.
But these incidents aren't coincidental.
They are never...
…coincidental.
I just turned 9.
What on earth…
…is happening to us now?
He was ruining the lives…
…of the male members in our family one by one.
That's how...
...our "unlucky 9" lives started.
Plus 9?
[Plus 9 Effect]
Uh…
…shall we order the set menu?
- Huh? - It's much cheaper.
Separately, it's $85.
The set menus are $70 total.
Oh, I see…
You can order anything you want, Buddhist saint.
I told you not to call me that.
I go to church too.
I can just foresee what others can't...
- ...a tiny bit earlier. - Oh, I see…
Uh…
These are my kids.
- All of them… - 9, 19, 29.
So you popped them out every 10 years…
...I mean, gave birth?
My husband and I took…
…a trip for each decade.
This is my first kid.
He's 29 this year.
- Likes traveling, eh? - You're right.
He works for the biggest travel agency.
He's a player.
No.
He's a naïve workaholic.
I wonder if he even talks to girls.
And…
…my second son.
He's 19 now.
He's full of fire energy.
He always caused trouble…
…hitting kids since he was little.
He got his act straight after going to college playing judo.
Hey!
I told you to go!
Why didn't you do anything?
And you were just watching!
Your little one looks familiar.
You saw…
…the film "Arrest Scandal" too?
Oh, that kid!
It was a huge success, and he's done a lot of commercials too.
I bought an apartment, thanks to him.
He's taking a break, but he'll get back to work soon.
Why does he look…
…so gloomy?
He's a pain in the neck. A pain.
He's their 39-year-old uncle.
Oh…
…his age ends with a 9 too?
Yes.
He's a producer for…
…"Music Camp" or whatever.
He's famous...
...and received lots of awards too.
But it's all useless.
Will you go out on the weekends, you idiot?
What?
I'm worried as he's not married yet.
All four of them are…
…"plus 9" boys. "Plus 9."
Huh?
It's no ordinary "plus 9" either.
Excuse me?
They have to be careful this year.
They'll go…
…through a lot.
Especially this man…
He'll experience all his misfortune this year.
He's in a big dilemma.
Gosh, he's in a big pickle.
Is there a way to help him?
Well…
- Can I order another coffee? - Huh?
Their Dutch coffee is awesome.
Sure.
You can't…
…totally avoid your misfortune which is meant to be.
But this will help…
…to some degree.
Tell them to use it as their cell screensaver.
They should never delete it.
Good afternoon. [Japanese]
Hello.
Good afternoon. [Japanese]
Ms. Bok Ja.
Did you see my text?
No, what text?
Jin Goo, did you delete it again?
- It was so expensive. - Ms. Bok Ja.
- You sent another talisman? - Use it as your cell screensaver.
What a waste of money.
Stop being stubborn and just listen to your mom!
You really have to be careful this year!
Ok, ok. I'm busy now.
I'll call you later.
Jin Goo, make sure you do it!
I'll check later!
Yes, Ms. Bok Ja.
[Would you like to delete the selected photo?]
[Yes]
Jin Goo!
Oh gosh, the yellow dust is terrible.
It's starting in February this year?
What should we do? They're VIP guests.
You can't see.
Relax, relax.
Don't worry.
I checked the forecast.
I'll take care of it…
…from here on.
Come this way, this way.
Seoul Tower was built in 1975.
If you come up to the observatory here…
…you can get a good view of Seoul.
I can't see anything.
You can't see well today because of fine dust.
But you can see the ocean to the west if you look carefully.
You can see a bit there, right?
Where? I can't see…
I'm sorry.
What should I do?
Ok, big sisters, haven't you seen...
...this place somewhere?
We have!
Yes, that's right.
This is right where Geun jjang drank coffee.
Awesome!
This is where Kim Soo Hyun hung...
- ...the lock in the K-drama. - Really?
His lock will be...
...here somewhere…
Where, where?
The view is really pretty here, isn't it?
Yes!
The weather's unclear...
...so let's just take a quick picture.
Let's go shopping in Myeongdong right after!
Mr. Kim here…
…will take care of you from now on.
No, go shopping with us!
I'm so sorry and I'd like to go too…
…but I have urgent work...
...to do at the office…
Then can we at least get a picture together?
- Just one shot! - Sure, sure.
Yes.
Cheese.
Yes.
Yes, yes.
This is…
Yes, yes.
Yes.
I'm so surprised.
Jin Goo is so cute!
He's tall, cute and competent too.
Unrealistic, eh?
I hate him.
He's a player. It's written all over his face.
Come on.
He's hot.
You be careful too.
We have extra 100 security cameras at work now.
- Yeah? - You know why?
Because of that jerk.
The HR Dept. always calls him for dating colleagues secretly.
Hyun Jung the secretary…
…Jung Yun in Accounting…
…Rachel in Global…
From the 1st floor info desk, to the secretary room on the 8th...
He has a girl on each floor.
Really?
I love bad boys.
Hey.
Wake up and look carefully.
That's the way he lures girls.
He always talks…
…2 steps and a half away.
[2 steps and a half]
That distance lets women's guards down.
He stands up straight, body tiled at a 15 degree angle.
He always slightly looks down.
When putting his hands in his pocket he puts in the thumbs only.
Look, look.
And he always acts like he's busy.
That way, girls want him more.
I have to go now. I'm sorry.
I hate him.
I hate his guts.
Be careful.
Kang Jin Goo, 29 years old.
I'm a tour planner…
…with a free spirit.
What should I say later?
Get off me.
You were waiting for me?
You had a long day today, eh?
Geez!
I almost bit my tongue!
Geez.
You're a K-star, aren't you?
Just say thanks.
I was really in a pickle before.
When I went up, the view was so unclear…
…and everyone was looking at me.
You think I enjoyed it?
You were happy to death.
One of those moms must be a player too.
Anyway, moms are pervier.
They come up close…
…and grab you like this!
You seemed to enjoy it.
It's no joke!
Haven't you heard?
When Shin Dong Yub goes…
…he's always groped by moms.
They come up close…
- …and grab him… - Pervert.
What do they see in you?
Here, here, everything.
Everything.
Let's drop it.
Let's eat before we head back.
- What do you want? - I'll just have something light.
You just said…
…light, ok?
Yeah, looks so good.
It's huge.
Hey, you said you wanted something light.
Shut up and eat.
We don’t have time. Can't you see that?
[Eat the king pork cutlet in 10 min. and it's free!]
If we finish this in 10 minutes, it's free.
I don't care.
You can devour the whole thing.
It's good.
Try this.
Come on.
She eats 3 full meals every day…
…no matter how lonely or sad she is.
She has a huge appetite.
But…
…miraculously she's stayed...
...a size 2 for 26 years.
Just give up.
Time's almost up.
I know.
I'm just enjoying the food.
Hey.
You should be on TV.
Why?
You can go on as the size 2…
…bachelorette!
It'd be perfect.
The Netizens would say the show was manipulated.
They'd say I can't be so slim when I eat so much.
I'll be the most searched word.
Ma Se Young.
I'm exhausted.
Yeah, right. I've had a long day.
Come on, I did all the work.
If you hadn't jumped in, I could've…
For Pete's sake, I'm just good.
Come here.
Stop.
Don't move.
You're such a klutz.
What?
Your heart's pounding?
Are you crazy?
I don’t do this for just anyone.
I saw you do it for just anyone.
Why, you!
You!
Jae Bum!
Going somewhere nice?
Look at you.
Shades in mid-winter? Take them off.
This is my very best friend.
Park Jae Bum.
I'll see you tomorrow.
He puts friendship above anything else.
- Seafood stew all around. - I'll have pepper noodles.
- I beg to differ. - What?
A man who speaks his mind.
Whether he's happy or sad...
...he never changes.
[Happy, depressed, sad, excited]
[Surprised, smiling, happy, sick]
Unfortunately...
...he's been single for 29 years.
Have you eaten?
Yeah.
What did you have?
Food.
We still have time.
Let's go for coffee.
You still have room left?
Jin Goo's treat.
What?
It's good.
You ate so much before.
You have a separate belly for dessert?
I was so nervous in the morning.
I keep craving food.
What happened?
I went to Namsan with the VIP clients.
You couldn't see much because of dust.
So?
You know.
I came to the rescue.
He's such a mystery.
What do they see in him?
Come here.
You want to know?
Get lost.
She's shooting a coffee commercial.
Why are you acting so sentimental?
You met your love or something?
It's a nice song.
Are you wearing contacts?
No.
How come your eyes sparkle like that?
Yeah?
Hey.
Not her.
She's still a girl.
Coffee girl.
Your nails are a different color.
Nice.
They've changed?
Weren't they usually this color?
No.
Pervert.
What kind of guy stares at a girl's fingernails.
How come you're always fighting?
You're seeing each other, eh?
Are you crazy?
I don't like you either!
I hate players like him.
Look at manly Jae Bum.
He's a real man.
Hi.
[My love, Ms. Bok Ja]
Hi.
Did you save it on your cell?
- Yeah. - Really?
Of course.
Ok, don't ever delete it.
Ok.
Mom.
Doesn’t Min Goo have a game today?
Yeah.
Dong Goo has an audition today.
I'll go there after the audition.
- Give me an autograph. - Dong Goo's coming out.
Ok, come home early.
- Please, Dong Goo. - Dong Goo!
Give me an autograph. Just one.
Oh, my…
- Give me an autograph. - Stop, kids!
Stop!
Let's go.
Oh my, what's wrong with this?
Oh, my!
Has the match started already?
Why isn't he answering?
[Mom]
[Ilwon High]
Kang Min Goo, 19 years old.
I beat them all in one go...
...when it comes to judo and style.
Who the…
Stop acting cool.
You want to go to Yongin Univ.
You better get your act together.
Kang Min Goo.
Win a medal today and go to Yongin.
You can do it, right?
Yes.
Ok.
Alright!
Ready?
- Yes! - Let's do it!
Let's do it!
[Kang Min Goo]
Geez.
Don't be nervous.
Go in and say hi first.
Look at the directors' eyes, ok?
Ok!
It's not my first audition!
Let's go.
[Audition for film "Gift for Room 9"]
In a loud voice.
Say what you practiced with confidence.
Hey.
Isn't that Dong Goo from "Arrest Scandal"?
It's him, alright.
I hadn't seen him for a while.
If he's here…
…our kids have no hope.
He always gets the role.
I'm Kang Dong Goo and I'm 9.
I go to tons of auditions and...
...I always end up getting the main role.
Next, no. 28, Do Min Joon.
No. 29, Kang Dong Goo.
Oh, cutie!
Hi, Dong Goo.
You've grown taller.
How are you, sir?
I'm good.
Long time no…
Do… Dong Goo?
Yes, I'm the 9-year-old cutie, Dong Goo.
Here, here!
Sit down.
What's with his face?
Maybe because his teeth are gone…
[Kang Dong Goo]
Ok, Dong Goo.
Let's start with a sad scene.
Sure.
Ok.
Your old pet died…
…and you're sad.
- Shall we start? - Sure.
Ok.
Ready, action.
Oh, puppy.
Puppy.
- Are… you… dead? - Dong Goo.
Not like you're reading a book.
Make it natural.
Don't… die…
...puppy.
If… you… die…
…I'll… be… sad.
That's all I got.
Good job.
Ok.
Next, Do Min Joon.
Have you acted before?
I've done some home shopping ads.
Yeah?
Try doing what you've done.
Just a minute.
I'll get myself into the mood.
- I'm ready. - Ok.
Ready, action.
Puppy…
What's wrong?
Puppy…
Open your eyes.
No way.
You're not dead, are you?
Puppy!
- Puppy! - Ok.
Stop it. Ok.
You ok?
It's ok.
I'm just acting.
Wow.
Did you do well?
Geez! The directors are weird.
They kept laughing.
They laughed?
Oh.
That's because you did a good job.
When's the second audition?
I need to tell his school teacher.
He won't have to come for it.
What do you mean?
He's uglizing.
What's that?
Like Macaulay Culkin…
…a cute kid growing up to be ugly.
Oh, like Harry Potter?
Yeah.
Why you witches, what?
What did you just say?
Nothing.
Today's audition was really weird.
Why is everyone laughing?
Let's go for Min Goo's match.
[Gyeonggi-do Judo Dojo]
Go, Min Goo!
[Min Goo wins]
Go!
[Go, Min Goo]
We're almost there.
Beat him good today.
You can do it, right?
Yes.
Ok!
Don't be nervous.
Yoon Dong Shik.
I'm going to Yongin.
Go!
Go on strong.
Look at your brother.
Good job.
- Go on strong. - Go, Min Goo!
Yeah.
- Go on strong. - I love you!
What are you doing, Min Goo?
Come on!
What's with him?
Stop!
Go!
Attack!
Just attack!
Get up!
I said, get up!
Press down harder!
That's it!
Kang Min Goo!
Not there, jerk.
I think I'll poop.
Geez!
I think I'll poop.
Oh, no!
Feb. 13, 2014...
...Kang Min Goo...
...failed due to...
...irritable bowel syndrome.
Show time!
- What? - You got my text?
I'm busy now.
Listen to me carefully.
- Make it your screensaver. - I'm busy now!
Just listen to me!
Next, camera rehearsal!
No. 9 isn't good, so I'll go check.
What are you doing? Come on, hurry up.
[Would you like to delete the selected photo?]
[Yes]
We're ready.
They're just dang ugly.
They might be ugly, but they're talented.
They were popular on Superstar K.
Anyway, let's do rehearsals thoroughly.
- I'm worried. - You're such a worrywart.
Don’t worry.
They look like troublemakers.
Look at this.
Lee Seung Gi and Yoona are dating.
Wow, everyone's dating.
They're all dating.
The girls in my heart are all leaving.
My nickname was 3 second Yoona in college.
Miss Piggy. You must've been really tired.
Really.
Look. I look like her.
You crazy?
Your food is going to your head.
You're out of your mind.
It's true.
You must've been Yoon Hu since you eat so much.
Why, you…
Yoon Hu!
Who are you?
I bet you ate a lot ever since…
…you were a fetus.
You were a big baby.
- I can't hear you. - 5 kilos.
So annoying!
I'm sorry.
Let go of me.
Let go!
Ma Se Young.
You're quite…
…big.
- You want to die? - Hey.
B cup?
Be quiet.
C cup?
Why, you…
Be quiet.
You don't have to get so mad.
Hey!
You shouldn't have felt me up!
Bye.
Hey!
You can call me if you miss me.
Bye!
Actually...
...bus no. 909 doesn't go to my home.
I just...
...want to ride the same bus with her.
Hello, sir..
Where are you?
What's keeping you?
I'm in Sangsu-dong.
You're there again?
Yeah.
MC, standby.
- Yewon. - Yes.
We have scary stars coming up.
Scary stars?
What's going on?
- It's been disconnected. - Oh, gosh.
Their performance is great.
It's ok. Carry on.
Give me a hint, Huhgak.
Here you go.
This is trash.
Why give me this?
Yes, it's trash.
They're Trashist.
Here we go.
Ok, 5.
1.
Move the cameras!
Don't do a closeup!
No. 9!
Cut!
Change it now!
Those pieces of garbage!
I'm going nuts!
I wanted 39 to be a smooth age for me.
But I don't have...
...a good feeling about it.
[Indie band Trashist bares all]
Oh, gosh.
Business is great.
Good thing you quit work.
Thanks to the Olympics.
Look.
I'll be rich soon.
You have the World Cup too.
Great location.
How's work?
Same ol', same ol'.
It's off-season, so I'm free now.
But Mr. Jo...
...wants me to prepare the summer product already.
Mr. Jo again?
Just the mere thought of him…
I didn't order this.
They ordered it for you.
You're still popular.
Work for us here.
I'll give you $10/hr.
You're crazy.
How are things with Se Young?
I don't know.
Hey.
You're Kang Jin Goo.
I can't believe you still have a crush.
What's wrong with you?
Geez…
Why can't you get the one girl you like?
- You fool. - Why, you…
Don't play with food.
Is it because of that incident?
That's ages ago.
You had no choice.
I hate you!
She's gotten over it.
Just bring more beer.
More beer here!
Kang Jin Goo, come home now!
Geez…
What on earth happened?
You must've been so upset.
Tell me about it.
Where's your uncle?
You ok?
I don't know.
You stink!
Great smell, eh?
Why, you…
It stinks!
Oh, flush the toilet. I forgot.
Come on.
I'm a celeb!
You punk!
Stop tormenting him!
Come here.
Where is he?
You punk!
Listen to me carefully.
Dong Goo failed the au…
That happened.
Min Goo suddenly had diarrhea…
You uncle had a chaotic day.
He won't even answer his cell.
What?
Something happened to him?
You know...
...why this happened?
All of you…
…are "plus 9" ages.
- Plus 9? - From now on...
...you need to be very careful!
All of you…
Mom.
I told you not to believe all the superstitions.
Jin Goo. Remember when you were 19?
You almost didn't take your SATs...
…because your appendix burst.
So I took it at the infirmary and passed.
After your uncle broke up with the girl when he was 29…
…he's been single till now.
He's just not popular.
Shut up.
Your aunt...
...can't close her eyes after the plastic surgery.
She was 49!
49!
Then...
...everyone who's 29 has bad luck?
That's nonsense.
Shut up.
I asked the fortuneteller today.
Your fortune is the worst, Jin Goo.
That's like Final Destination.
What the…
That's what happens.
They die one by one and...
...the main character dies at the end.
Dong Goo, me, uncle.
It's your turn.
Geez…
Final my foot.
Anyway, be careful, Jin Goo.
Come on.
I got a 300% bonus.
My stocks are rising.
Anyway, I had a great start this year.
I'll have an awesome year.
Mom.
I hope you didn't buy tons of talismans.
- I didn't. - You did.
I didn't!
You really did.
Man…
Ms. Bok Ja…
I'm exhausted.
Ms. Bok Ja…
She always believed in superstitions.
But 8 years ago...
...after dad died…
…that belief became a religion.
Let's eat, Dong Goo.
Here.
Where's uncle?
He's still hung over from yesterday.
He's still on the Net.
Show me.
[Searched Words 1. Trashist 2. Koo Gwang Soo 3. Privates]
No cell phone at the table.
It's still crazy though it was yesterday.
It sure is insane.
Min Goo.
Worry about yourself.
You know your video is online?
You pooped…
…during your match.
Who did it?
Shut up.
Don't sit at the corner!
I told you that's bad luck!
Geez…
You'll get indigestion.
You're making me get it.
Why pour that water in there?
Your whole day will be sloppy.
That’s so absurd.
You rascal.
You want a crazy day?
Just listen to me!
Jin Goo.
Be careful. It's your turn.
You jerk!
Jin Goo.
Hi, Go Eun.
Here.
What is this?
It's Valentine's Day.
Thanks.
Those are all yours?
I know you're popular, but that's insane.
Maybe I should've bought something else.
But your gift is special.
It's good.
But Go Eun…
What's your religion?
- I don’t have one. - Yeah?
But God favored you and made you so pretty.
Buy me a drink someday.
A drink?
Sure thing.
- How's next week? - Works for me.
Where do you get those slimy pickup lines?
Are you jealous?
Se Young.
- Yeah? - You haven't given me chocolate.
Why should I?
I don't have enough for mine.
Forget it!
I don’t want yours!
- You're so ugly. - Look who's talking!
Jae Bum.
Here.
What is it?
Chocolate.
Do you have time this evening?
Why?
Can you take us out to dinner?
- Why? - Huh?
Sorry, I'm busy today.
Ok.
Then next time…
They must be so embarrassed.
You got botox on your face?
Can't you smile for them?
I don't like getting stuff for Valentine's.
It's meaningless. It's all for business.
Ahn Jung Geun was sentenced to death on Feb. 14.
They don't know that.
Stop it.
You'll die single.
Nice time?
I'm sorry.
Everyone works hard…
…and dates hard.
Dang.
Get ready for the meeting!
Dang chocolates.
Mr. Jo, here.
It's Valentine's Day.
Oh, right.
It's for me?
Nice packaging.
I don’t want to ruin it.
Thanks.
Ok!
It's a good day!
After the day's over…
…go on a date!
- OMG. - Psychopath.
This is too much.
I need to go to college.
What's this?
- Sausage soup. - Sausage soup?
Put instant sausage in cup ramen.
Then nuke it.
It's complete.
It's good.
Try it.
- Forget it. - Try it.
- It's awesome. - Forget it.
How can we go to college?
Shall I start studying now?
Cut the crap.
Judo's the only way for us.
There are so many nerds.
You were our hope.
There's another autumn match.
Win a medal then.
Eat up, Min Goo.
- Eat. - I'm good.
Hey, OMG!
Hottie coming.
- Where? - Over there.
She's a butterface.
No, she's hot.
She's totally hot!
Min Goo.
Look.
Don't go near him.
She smiled!
I knew it.
He acted like he'd let us off early.
I'm going home.
But Jo's there.
I'm done with work.
Jae Bum is so energetic.
He's thorough with everything.
Very meticulous too.
That's how he's able to get off on time.
Yeah?
Right?
I was bored so I made it, but ruined it.
I don't want it to go to waste, so here.
Where's Jae Bum?
He left.
Dang Mr. Jo.
See you tomorrow.
Bye.
Yes!
You have plans tonight, eh?
Nope.
That's not like you today.
I'm going on a date with you.
Forget it. Bye.
Wait up.
Wait up!
No.
Why, you…
She actually likes me.
Wait up!
Ms. Bok Ja…
I was busy.
I'm ok.
I'll be right home.
Bye.
My mom drives me nuts.
Why?
You know the Dear Abbey show?
- Yeah. - If she calls, she's on the show.
The superstitious mom.
She's been talking about "plus 9"…
…since she saw the fortuneteller.
She's driving me nuts.
What's with her?
My mom's the same.
We live on an island.
We have to eat one side of fish.
We can't file our nails at night.
She's insane.
But...
...that makes her comfortable.
Moms are all like that.
They're always worried for us.
They need to rely on something.
She used to pray for me...
…on a mountain, before I went to college.
She got arthritis then.
When I started to work…
She went up the mountain with arthritis.
I was shocked.
I work for a company.
There's a colleague...
...I've liked though we always argue.
She gave me Valentine's Day chocolate.
She even packaged...
...the homemade gift.
Do you think she likes me?
It seems so.
What do you think?
I'm 100% sure of it.
It's homemade too.
It's a gift made with love.
She could've...
...made tons and gave it all out.
I'm 100% sure of it.
She's giving him a sign to confess.
Yeah?
You should be brave...
...and confess your love.
Let's listen to "Confession" now.
Keep your chin up.
Funny, eh?
Hilarious.
What is it?
You know…
Like an old lady.
No way.
Treat your mom well.
She's the best.
I treat her well.
Bye.
Hey!
Nothing.
Se Young!
What?
Uh…
Be careful on your way home.
What the…
- Bye. - Bye.
Did you have dinner?
Yeah.
Why are you so late?
My mom warned me about "plus 9."
It wasn't about...
...a big curse.
[You've failed the audition. Thank you.]
It's ok.
You can get the next one.
When something...
...blocks the love of your life…
…when you feel more nervous...
...though you were in the same situation yesterday…
…that's…
…"plus 9."
I have something to tell you.
I confessed to Se Young a few days ago.
Tell me.
You have a boyfriend, eh?
No way.
Come on, you do.
Hey.
You're the eternal solo now?
Oh.
What is it?
Telegirl?
It guesses by the voice.
Ask when you'll get married.
- There's no new girl. - What?
- Search among your exes. - Huh?
Grand… ma…
- Where are you going? - Let go!
Why are you so annoyed?
I'm a celeb.
Kids are watching.
You've changed.
I…
...need...
…a change.
