Twenty-eight years ago, 2006 was my birth.

This is my land. The Republic of Korea.

High Kick! Episode 1

The fifth year of his term was a turbulent year for president Roh.

There was the incident of the staged stem cell research,

the progression of talks for the Korea-US FTA negotiation,

public outcry against adult arcades.

The North Korea finally had decided to test their nuclear weapons.

And it was also the year in which the soccer team led by Advocaat

failed to qualify for the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

In that turbulent late summer of 2006, I was born in Seoul.

He knows it's his birthday!

October, 2006 - You are so happy. - Hi.

- Say Uncle, Uncle. - Say Uncle.

He knows you. Look it him. He is smiling.

- Hey, do you know me? Huh? - I know.

Man, look at him drooling!

Let me see, let me see. Move out of the way.

Let's have a look at you.

You are handsome.

Are you going to pee during the photo session?

Let's take a look at you.

Look at his thing.

Time for your pictures! Come over to this side.

He sure peed a lot.

It's a good thing your clothes didn't get wet.

Give him to me.

- Let me see. - Go to your Grandpa.

Let's take a picture.

Let me see.

So handsome.

Okay, let's take the picture.

Where is everyone?

They must have gone outside.

- Tell them to hurry up. - I'll go and get them.

Hey.

You should stand behind.

Why? I want to sit here.

It's too crowded for four people. It won't look nice.

So go to the back.

The photographer told me to sit here.

Yeah, it'll look weird if Mom stands at the back.

Just do what I say. Go to the back.

Mom and Dad will sit in the center. You two can sit on each side.

Stay out of this.

Hurry up and go to the back.

What's wrong with you? Are you kidding me?

I'm dead serious.

You.

Get away from me!

- Why did you hit me! - Ah! It hurts.

- Let go! Let go. - Shinji.

Hurry up and come inside.

What are they doing?

Minho! Hurry up and get over here!

- Just a minute. - We'll be there.

Why did you slick your hair back? It's better down.

- Really? - Don't put it down. It looks weird.

Weird?

What's so weird about it? You look younger with the hair down..

That hairstyle makes him look like a dork, Mother.

I can't look like a dork.

What? What are you mumbling about? What's going on?

Nothing. Hurry up!

- Fine. - Fine.

Look this way. Good.

Ok, One, Two, Three!

Pungpa High School - Hello. - Hello.

Oh Minjung will be working with us from today.

Nice to meet you.

Make her feel welcome.

Minjung will be in charge of math as well as homeroom nine.

Actually, my name is Seo Minjung.

And I'm in charge of English and homeroom four.

Is that right?

Wait a minute. Aren't your sons in homeroom four?

My name is Lee Minyong, and it's my nephews attend the class number four.

My son isn't even a year old yet.

Is that right?

Well, you'll be working next to each other, so get acquainted.

And...

Let's get to work.

Hello?

Hello.

This is my first time teaching, so I'm very very nervous.

I see.

I was supposed to teach girls, but I volunteered to come here.

It was my dream to teach boys.

I see.

Is there something bothering you today?

Yes.

No wonder.

You've got rings underneath your eyes.

What's wrong with him? He's so scary!

I'll be in charge of you guys from now on.

The semester's almost over, but let's try to get along.

I mean... I mean...

This is my first time teaching, so I feel awkward.

Anyway, I'll do my best.

Who is the class president?

It's me.

Since I don't know much, I'll have to ask you a lot of questions.

I'll type up the previous lessons, and send it to you through email.

Thank you.

Is someone missing?

- Lee Yunho. - Lee Yunho?

Wait!

I'm here.

All right then.

But he came in after the bell rang.

He was late.

I guess he was, but...

Shouldn't you mark him down?

That's up to the teacher.

I didn't know. That was my mistake.

The class president is right. Rules are rules.

This is outrageous.

It's just the first day. Should we give him a break?

Miss Seo!

All right. He was late.

Don't be late from now on.

Then I'll introduce myself...

I'm so scared. These boys are mean!

What should I do?

Junha, Junha!

When did the picture come out?

Why did they place it here? Without even discussing it with me?

Why isn't this coming off?

Junha!

Junha! Let's sell the Hwajin Electronics stock.

Huh?

Hwajin Electronics stock rose 400 won. Sell it now.

I sold that yesterday.

What? Why did you sell that?

We could have made a huge profit on that!

Don't just look at the results.

You sold my stock without discussing it with me?

I made a small profit.

Small? That's it?

You should've discussed the matter with me.

I understand.

He asks me all kinds of useless stuff, but doesn't discuss this with me?

Why would he sell stock before it can rise?

He should know better. This is all he ever does.

She's really generous though.

She isn't generous. She's only generous to her own family.

She is so stingy to us.

Do you know how much she gave her father-in-law for his allowance?

A lousy hundred bucks.

That's a joke. Shouldn't even give it.

About the family portrait...

Hey! Hello.

Hello.

- I'm going. - See you later.

- Take care. - See you later.

What are you doing here so early?

Why did you hang the portrait there? It should be on top of the TV.

What's the big deal?

Hang it on top of the TV.

Why are you wearing that on your head?

We went to the hair salon, and I came home for little bit.

What if all this comes off?

Did you do the afro perm?

Yes.

You know I don't like that. Why did you do the afro perm?

It's the most comfortable. It's really good.

You know I don't like it!

Why doesn't anyone discuss anything with me around here?

Should I tell them to redo it? Even if I redo it I'll need to pay them.

You're really something.

Hello?

Yunho, I'm Hwang Chansung.

So?

Seunghyun wants to fight you.

But he can't find you anywhere. Are you scared?

Sure. I'm scared. I'm really scared.

We are on the roof. Get over here in 10 seconds.

Hello? Lee Yunho! That fool!

He hung up?

Then let's go get him.

Lee Yunho!

Where is everybody?

Hey, where is Lee Yunho?

I don't know.

When did he leave?

I don't know.

Would you mind keeping it down?

What did you say?

I mean, he isn't here, so go outside and find him.

I'll just leave.

Do you want to die?

Who wants to die?

Hey! Aren't you Lee Yunho's brother?

You're right, this guys is Minho! I heard Yunho has a brother.

He is the brother!

No.

Really? How come two brothers are in the same grade?

Dochi told me that he got into school late, when he was seven.

Really?

So you're his brother?

Yunho couldn't have gone far. He should be here somewhere!

You'll need to come with us.

Don't you want to find Yunho?

I thought you wanted to find him!

Junha, let's go to Minyong's house after we're done.

Why?

I want to give him some kimchi. He's running out of food.

And he was suppose to take the microwave, but he just left.

Sure.

What is this?

- Did I get any calls? - No.

The price of the medicine. Is it correct? Are you sure?

- Yes, it's correct. - Really?

Why are you wearing that kind of uniform during work hours?

Huh?

Dr. Park changed the gowns today.

What? Why all the gowns?

What is this!

Ma'am?

Oops!

Who told you people to change the uniforms without telling me?

Dr. Park's not here.

What's wrong with these people!

- Who's there? - Shinji, it's us!

- Shinji? - Shinji?

She must not be home.

Call her.

She's not here. Let's go, Mom.

The couple in Apartment 801?

I didn't see them today.

Her car isn't here.

What happened?

She must be out. Let's go, Mom.

Too bad you missed her.

This is so heavy.

Give it to me.

Grandma, isn't that heavy?

- It's all right. - Take care.

What a strong old lady!

Mom

What?

- Lee Yunho, where are you? - At the institute.

Why isn't your brother answering the phone?

How would I know that!

Aren't you at the institute with him?

Class is about to start. Hang up, Mom.

I can't concentrate.

Hello.

It's me. Hwang Chansung!

- I don't have time to talk to you. - Wait!

Do you know who I'm with?

You'll pee in your pants if you do.

Who are you with?

Your brother Lee Minho!

How about it now? We've got your brother with us!

So? Do whatever you want.

What?

- He said to do whatever we want? - But he is his brother?

It's your brother!

I'm for real. You want to hear his voice?

Probably won't matter.

Hey it's me... See, he hung up.

What?

Hello? Hello?

- Aren't you brothers? - We are.

So what's wrong with you two?

We've been like this. So I will leave now.

What kind of brother relationship is this?

Seunghyun, let's beat him up!

- Stop it! - You're raising your voice at me.

I'm not shouting! I'll make him come here.

I don't care!

Wait! Are you going to release me if my brother comes?

Well? Are you?

Don't raise your voice at me!

- Give me your cellphone! - What?

Hold on, trying to do this quickly!

What now?

I'm going to tell mom what happened with Jinsu's motorcycle.

What? You cheap punk!

I think she knows already. Mom's probably going to ask you about it.

I'm at the roof.

Wait right there!

I'm going to kill him!

He's coming. But when he comes, make sure to get him good.

He had surgery about a week ago, so this is his weakness.

What? Are you really brothers?

We're getting on the bus, right?

Look at that. That sofa looks nice!

- That? - Yes.

Who threw away such a thing?

True.

- The color looks good as well. - The cushions are very nice.

This will be perfect! We can take naps on it!

You think so?

Are you going to take that?

I can take this, right?

Sure, but you should call the delivery service.

We don't need the delivery service. We'll just carry it.

Yeah. Why waste money?

How are you going to carry this? Where is your house?

Near Somang Hospital. Let's go, Mom.

That far? That's much too far away.

Hey, could you place that stuff on top of the sofa?

Sure.

This is really heavy!

Isn't this a microwave? How do you...

Put it on top of that.

Thank you. Let's go.

Yes.

Isn't that heavy?

I'm all right.

We are strong.

Look at this gown!

- Dr. Park still didn't come in? - She went home early.

What? Who told her to go home early!

Hello? Father?

Why did you get off work so soon?

I just met up with the staff. I decided to come home early.

You can't leave without my consent!

And why did you change the uniforms?

You're at home right? Stay right there!

What is going on with everyone?

You came. You were worried about your brother?

Come over here!

I'm first!

- Let's fight. - Get over here!

Aim for his stomach! His stomach!

What are you doing?

Come over here!

Hit the stomach, stomach!

- What's the matter? - Get over here now!

You...

- Fight me! - Stop right there?

Fight me! Fight me!

- What happened? - Are they really brothers?

That's what they said.

That family is so messed up.

I'm going to kill you!

Stop right there! I'm going to kill you for real!

So they're Mr. Lee's nephews.

Why were they fighting then?

- You're dead! - Let go!

That's what I thought. I see you guys made up!

Give each other more hugs!

Let go!

You're dead!

- Let's just cross over. - Underneath?

- Police! - Run!

- What is that? - I'm on it!

That doesn't make any sense! How can anyone be so strong?

- Did we ditch them? - I can't see.

There's a puddle right there! Jump, Mom!

What is up with this gown?

- Don't you like it? - What kind of clothing is this?

I thought it might look good on you. Too much?

If you are going to do something, consult me first!

You even went home early without telling me!

- Calm down. - How can I calm down?

What is it with everyone today?

Junha sold the stock without my consent! My wife gets a perm without telling me!

What is that?

Someone threw this away, so I was going to put it in the house.

Who told you to bring that here?

What's wrong with all of you?

Why don't you guys discuss anything with me?

From now on, I forbid you to do anything

without discussing it with me first!

- Where are you going? - To the bathroom.

You need my permission to do that from now on!

- Even when I use bathroom? - You need my permission!

- Can I go use the bathroom? - Go!

My goodness.

Mom.

Why are you here again?

From now one, let me know before you come into my house!

Huh?

I just came from your home, but nobody was there.

Where's your wife?

Mom, I have something to tell you... Come over here.

- What is it? - What is it?

I told you to talk to me first!

Wait a second, Mom.

You fool!

Didn't I tell you to consult with me?

What? Divorce?

What in the world! Divorce? What is this nonsense?

Is it true? But why?

I... well...

You fool!

Father!

Stop right there! I'm going to kill you for real!

You didn't even tell me you're getting a divorce?

Grandpa, help me!

Life is like a bittersweet chocolate. But we will always...

High Kick!
