High Kick! Episode 53

Minho.

Hey, Yumi.

What are you doing here? I didn't know you were coming.

I had no choice. You weren't calling me.

I was going to call as soon as I finished this.

Anyway, remember Yunju?

We went to her birthday party last time.

Oh, you mean Yunho's friend?

Yeah, she got free tickets

to Rainbow World for this weekend. Do you want to go?

Rainbow World?

Isn't admission there expensive? Sure, let's go.

Really? Okay, I'll tell her we'll go.

Oh, but...

I'm sure you remember, but they think you're tall.

What?

Oh, you want me to wear those shoes again?

They think you're this perfect guy.

I don't want to disappoint them.

But that was just once. I don't want to lie to them every time we meet them.

So you won't do it? You don't want to go?

No, let's go. We'll go. Okay, don't worry.

Okay, thanks. I'm going to go. Study hard.

Okay.

Hello? Yeongmin? What is it?

I'm in front of your place. Come out.

Why did you come? We're going to see each other soon, anyway.

I hear you're broke and have to save up to take the bus.

What? W-who said that? Why wouldn't I have money?

What?

I won't charge you, so come down. Struggling Shinji.

- Hey, Seo Minjung. - What?

Who told you to run your mouth off?

What did I say?

Yeongmin said you told him I'm broke, so I haven't been eating anything.

What? I never said that.

What? Then what did you say that he's treating me like a bum?

Last time he came, he kept asking all these questions.

He asked about the apartment, and why you don't have a car...

He wouldn't stop, so I just...

So you told him how much I have in my wallet? Don't you think that's private?

I've got pride, too. Do I have to have him worrying about my bus fare?

I'm sorry. He was asking, and I didn't want to lie.

I bet you tell Minyong I've been living like a bum, don't you? Right?

No. Come on, Shinji.

Yeah, right! Just look at your face.

I'm the idiot for trusting you and telling you everything. I'm the idiot.

Oh, don't say that.

What if you were in my shoes?

I don't say anything about you out of respect for you.

Do you want me to tell Minyong everything about you when I see him?

I bet you'd like that, wouldn't you?

Tell him what? Everything about what?

There's that sleazebag ex of yours.

If I wanted to, I've got a lot to say.

What? That's just wrong.

I'm just talking right now.

Who's the one who actually did it?

I didn't do it on purpose!

Forget it. Sharing my personal life with you because we're roommates was a mistake.

I'll stay out of your business from now on,

so stop mouthing off about mine, okay?

Fine. Do whatever you want.

Fine! I will!

Hello.

- Come in. - Hi.

You're here often.

Yunho, could you get Minho?

You're so annoying. He's in his room. Go inside.

It's because these boots are hard to take off.

Hey, big brother!

Man, even when he sleeps he looks like a girl.

Hey, get up. Your girlfriend...

Hey, get up. Yumi's here.

Hey, Yumi.

Your face...

What?

What is that? Who did that?

Well, aren't you pretty?

What is?

Isn't she pretty? Big sister Minho!

That's awesome. Can I post a picture on my blog?

Hey! Don't take a picture!

What the... Why are you wearing makeup?

Man...

What happened?

Minho is pretty. He's a beauty, that one.

Haemi dreamt of peaches when she was pregnant with him. We thought it was a girl.

Really?

He should have been born a girl.

You guys are unbelievable! Is this funny to you?

Grandpa, Grandma! Would you have liked it if I was a granddaughter?

Should I go around wearing hair clips? Is that what you want?

And you! Why are you so immature?

What are you, six? Is this all you know how to do?

Does this make you feel good?

Hey, I was just trying to give everyone a laugh...

You better show me respect!

And Yumi, why are you here?

What? Oh, this is for you.

What is this? Are these high-heeled shoes?

I felt bad so I bought you a pair.

Take it. I'm not wearing these.

Kang Yumi. Have I ever said anything about your bad grades?

What? No.

Then why do you keep saying things about my height?

Is height that important?

Do you know how tall the president is?

Are the business leaders, Prime Minister, and congressmen of our country all tall!

See what happens if you try this again. Got it? Take these.

Hey, Minho! I've never seen you like this. That charisma.

I must have lost my mind. I'm dead.

Why?

Yunho's going to make me pay,

and Yumi will probably break up with me.

She always gets mad even when I'm good to her. Now that I yelled at her...

Why did I have to get so ticked off?

What are you talking about? You were oozing charisma.

It was so cool. No one will say anything to you.

Really. They're all scared of you now.

Scared? Of me? Why?

That's what charisma is!

Whatever, you're cool. Just keep doing what you just did!

What?

You guys are going out, aren't you?

Why isn't he saying anything?

What did I tell you? He's scared.

Minho, I was thoughtless.

I won't say anything about your height from now on.

Don't be mad. I'm sorry.

What is it?

See? Yumi's scared, too.

You're awesome.

You got Yunho and Yumi in one blow.

Dude, how satisfying is that?

Hello?

Is this Shinji? You borrowed money from me through Haesuk's mom!

What? Oh, I see.

The deposit didn't come in today, either. What in the world is going on?

Haesuk's mom said you've been telling her you'll deposit the money soon!

What? Oh, yes, I will...

I'm sorry, the connection is bad. I can't hear you.

Charisma, is it? Charisma...

You guys are unbelievable! Is this funny to you?

It was charisma.

If there was one thing missing from the perfection that is Lee Minho,

it was charisma.

I'm going to be reborn as a guy overflowing with charisma.

In order to do that, I'm going to master the finer points of charisma.

Lee Minho, Lee Yunho, come eat!

Okay! Man, I'm hungry.

Charisma Charisma! Of Greek origin, it means 'divine gift,'

and was first used as a sociological term by German sociologist Max Weber

to mean a quality an individual possesses that sets him apart as exceptional.

Why are you in your army clothes?

Reserves training. I won't be home until later tonight.

Everyone has a certain level of charisma.

Then what about my family?

Oh, that's hot! Why is it so hot?

Did you ever have cold soup?

Oh, be quiet. It's too hot! Too hot!

Master of getting his way through stubbornness: Grandpa.

Father, this is the first time in a long time the entire family is eating together.

The soup's too hot!

Still, let's not raise our voice at the dining table anymore.

How about it?

You agreed, right? Okay!

The absolute master of charisma: my mother.

Say it, don't spray it, Haemi.

Subtly strong: Uncle Minyong.

The kids at school fear him and call him Mad Dog.

Watch it, buddy. You want to fight?

- What, again? - What do you mean, fight?

Looked down on at home, but King of Charisma at school: Yunho.

What is your mother yapping about now?

You're putting me in a difficult situation.

Why don't you keep your promises?

I'm sorry, just let me go this once.

Even my grandmother has charisma.

Honey, this soup is great.

Is there any more?

- Yes, do you want more? - Yes.

There's no doubt that I'm innately similar to my dad.

But things are going to change from now on.

Charisma can be developed through one's own efforts.

Boys, you can't play in here like that. You should go to the yard.

It's cold outside.

Still, you can't play inside. What if you break a window?

And none of the other students can pass.

Get inside your classroom.

- I don't want to. - What?

You two are in Mr. Lee's class, aren't you? I'm going to have to tell him...

He's not here today.

You boys are really pushing it.

Get over here.

Get over here now!

If Mr. Lee was here, he would punish you. Since he isn't, I'll have to do it.

- Put out your hands. - What?

Now I'm mad. Hold out your hands!

- Are you really going to hit us? - Of course!

10 slaps each! Hold out your hands!

Why, you...

My reflexes are so good it happens automatically.

Do you think I'm joking? Hands, now!

Darn my lightning fast reflexes! I'm sorry, Miss Seo.

Let's go to the school store.

You can hit me another time. Miss Seo, I'm really hungry right now.

Where do you think you're going? Hold out your hands!

Oh, no!

Miss Seo, what did you do?

- Are you okay? - Oh, no. Are you okay?

What did I do?

I'm home.

Hey, Minho. Are you hungry?

No.

What are you doing?

Looking up something.

In order to increase one's charisma,

it is highly important to look up the facial expressions of the charismatic.

What is it about them that earns them the fear and respect of others?

Did he always like Cha Inpyo?

Of all the places you could have hit him...

What an embarrassing situation.

I'm sorry.

What are the other parents going to say if they find out?

A male student is sent to the nurse's office because a young female teacher hit him...

My goodness.

I'm sorry.

Why do you live such an anxiety-ridden life?

You have no time to breathe! None!

I've done enough research on charisma.

Now, to put it to the test.

Sweet! It started.

- Hey, I was watching. - So, what?

- I said I was watching. - So?

Oh, okay. Go ahead, watch. Dad, do you want to watch K-1?

Woah! It worked! It works!

Move, I have to watch the news.

Will it work on Grandpa?

What are you doing? I said to move.

Grandpa, I was watching.

I think sit-coms are more fun than the news.

What's that? Move, I'm watching the news.

Grandpa, I want to watch a sit-com.

What?

So stubborn. Fine, go ahead. Watch what you want.

It works! It works! I have charisma!

Minho, can you stop by my house on your way to tutoring?

Who does she think she is, telling me when to come and go?

Kang Yumi.

Why did you call me here?

Can you fold some cranes for me?

Cranes? What for?

Well, you know I like the band Blue Dragon.

I want to fold 2,000 cranes and send them to the band.

I can't do it myself. You'll help me, right?

So you want me to fold cranes for you to send to a boy band you like?

Come on. You helped me fold a lot last time.

You were really good at it.

What are you, crazy?

Listen carefully. I don't do that stuff anymore.

What's wrong with you, Minho? I'm going to get mad.

I'm the one who's mad.

Okay, forget it. Pretend I never said anything.

I think this charisma thing really suits me.

I don't mind if it's something really simple.

I faxed you my resume. Did you get it?

No, nothing long term. I'd like something I could do right away.

The show I'm in is opening soon.

Yes, thanks so much.

I'm going to go nuts.

I'm going to starve to death because of this musical.

They won't pay me, and I don't have enough time to work part-time somewhere else.

Hello?

Does Miss Seo Minjung live there?

Yes, she does.

Are you Seo Minjung? Listen here!

I'm not her. Hold on a second.

Did you make an enemy of someone?

What?

Wait, forget I asked. Sorry.

Hello?

Are you Seo Minjung?

Yes. Who is this?

I'm Hwang Chanseong's mother!

What did you do to my son?

Are you trying to make a cripple out of him? Is that it?

Oh, hello. That's not what happened.

Hold on a minute, please.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Are you Shinji?

Yes... Who...

It's me, Haesuk's mom's friend.

Hello.

I couldn't take it anymore. What is wrong with you?

I'm sorry. As I told you before,

I had some money, but because of a car accident, I had to use it all.

That's your problem.

I lent you money trusting Haesuk's mom, and because of you, we might be enemies!

Fix it, right now!

We're not leaving until you pay.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

I didn't do it on purpose. It was supposed to be a light punishment...

A light punishment? Are you joking?

This is unbelievable! You're new, aren't you?

Do they let anyone teach nowadays? I won't stand for it.

I'm going to the board of education. You'll never teach again!

Excuse me...

Let's not do this. I'll write you an IOU.

I don't have bad credit and I'll be getting paid soon.

I don't need an IOU. Pay me now.

You expect us to believe that you live here, but you don't have any money?

Give me something. Anything.

This isn't my house...

Is it hers? Then borrow money from her.

What?

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly that the garbage dump should be moved.

I'm so grateful that the association is taking charge.

The smell is terrible and I've been hoping something would be done soon.

So I just need to sign the petition and bring it to apartment 903, right?

Or should I bring it to the monthly meeting?

Oh, do you know how much apartment prices have gone up around here?

What is this woman jabbering about?

I'll give it to you by next week. I promise. Please?

So no one's bothering you anymore?

Who would dare? Like you said, I have charisma.

If I put my mind to it, I'm a force to be reckoned with.

Hey, can I watch TV now?

Your older brother is watching.

Okay.

It's like this.

No.

It's like this.

Your older brother is watching.

What is that? Who are you imitating?

You don't need to know.

Mom, can I have some Coke?

Coke? Coke's not good for you. Drink milk.

Mom, give me Coke, please.

Give it to him. He says he wants Coke.

Okay. Go study. I'll bring it to you.

- Give me Coke. - Give me Coke.

Were you imitating Minho?

I look just like him, right?

I do it better, right?

Hey, Minho.

What?

You know that charisma thing?

I think it might be better if you don't use it so much.

Why? What do you mean? It works so well.

Yo, do you want roast chicken?

What? Yo? You little...

- What? - You.

Okay. Would you like some roast chicken, big brother?

- Bring it to me. - Yes, big brother.

If we're getting it next week anyway, it's only a one-week advance.

I don't think it's possible.

Please, I really need this. It's an emergency.

I'll talk to the producer tomorrow.

I wouldn't get my hopes up, though.

It's never happened before.

Thank you so much.

Oh, no. The buses stop running soon!

Stop! Mister! Let me get on! Hey!

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

She is really sorry. Please forgive her.

It won't be any good to cause a stir at school.

If I had it my way...

Yes, yes, of course, we know how you must feel.

But this is her first job. Please don't end her career before it starts.

Why is there so much traffic?

I'm not sure. Maybe there was an accident.

Mister, could you let me off here?

Here?

I'm sorry. I don't have much cash on me.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause you trouble.

It's just another experience. You're going to face many things in the future.

- What? - What?

- What? - What?

Why are you crying?

I'm not.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Hey, are you hurt?

Forget it.

Fine, I will.

Why are you frozen?

None of your business.

Fine, have it your way.

Miss Seo, Mom wanted...

Hello.

- Hey, Beom. - Come in.

Minho, Beom's here.

Coming.

Hey, do you want corn?

Oh, corn. I love corn.

Hey. Let's go.

Okay, hold on.

Why? You're not studying at home?

We're going to my house. No one's home.

Don't go out when it's cold.

I'll make you something good for dinner.

Mom, we made plans to go to Beom's house.

What?

I'm going. To Beom's.

Well, if you must, you must.

What time will you be home?

Do we have to decide that now?

Okay, have fun, then.

I'll be back later.

What took you so long?

Minho, that's enough.

- What are you doing? - No more charisma, please.

You showed them good, okay? Please, Minho.

What are you doing? Let go! Why you little...

[ Next Episode ]

Okay, good.

Not that 'okay' again. I'm so sick of hearing it!

Hold it, hold it, stop!

Hey, ask her about it. See what Haemi thinks of it.

- She says 'okay.' - Okay, okay, okay.

Hey, hey, it's not like that. She's just a colleague.

Instead of dating someone who's going to run away in the end, it's better if we end this.

If you want to break up, who am I to say no?
