WHERE THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY

COLLEGE SCHOLASTIC ABILITY TEST - MATH TYPE A

- Wait, one sec... - Time's up, stop!

It's no use if you don't mark your answers on the OMR card.

You barely got through one third of it.

One or two?

- Two? - Wrong. It's four.

My head... Geez...

Are you all right? Do you have a headache?

If you do, don't take one pill.

You gotta take two. For too much pain... two pills.

Get it? Too much p...

Uh...

Look, I know we just started,

but let's look at your recent grades on this mock SAT.

Sure, you're a hard worker. But come on!

When it comes to math, you're like a freshman.

Your progress is quite slow.

But why am I not getting better at this?

You gotta get the basics down first!

Boss! I got Kwang Soo out here!

All right, take a look at this one.

Let's just stop for now.

This is why you're not improving!

If you're not gonna bother committing to class you may as well quit!

Learning is... something you have to make time for.

Hm. If I head out now I can get the transfer discount.

Hm?

Oh...

Um, eh?

Uh...

- Will you show him out? - Yes, sir.

Come on! We'll escort you home.

No, the bus is perfectly fine! I have a transfer.

Oh, no. I insist. No one likes the bus that much.

Also boss said we need to show you tender loving care.

So it'll be just like... um, carrying a butterfly.

OK? Come on, let's go.

Mr. Kim! Mr. Kim! Mr. Kim!

Kwang Soo.

You know how much time I wasted looking for you?

I missed a perfectly good online science lecture.

Can't you just let me run?

I can disappear. What do you say?

Take it easy, eh?

You send an assassin to off the Chairman, and now you pull out a knife?

On my tutor?

If you want this guy to live, let me go, eh?

What a punk.

Don't involve civilians.

- Dong Soo. - Yes, sir. Got it.

The throat. I can hit his throat.

- Clean up this mess. - Yes, boss. You heard him.

HIGH SCHOOL RETURN OF A GANGSTER

How is he?

Oh. The doctor said he'll be fine. Just a little shook up.

We'll know more soon. Want me to drive you home?

Let's wait for the results.

Wah. Is that what the kids are into these days?

Pfft. Puffy ass coats?

If you go back to school, won't you be going to class with those kids?

Having lunch with 'em!

You might as well 've gotten in. I'm talking about you like you got in.

I don't even know if I can. I'm behind on vocab.

Boss, if it's OK with you, I know some English words.

Could I try reading them?

Sure. Here.

Ooh.

- "Ignore"? - "Ignore".

"Igloo".

- "Shiver". - "Shee-bour".

That means you're cold.

"Arigatou"?

Hey, boss, isn't "arigatou" a Japanese word?

Pretty sure, they have it in English too!

"Fill"? Like feelings, yeah.

Ahh, "feel".

- "Bush". - "Bush".

- "Bush". - "Bush".

- Wait, isn't he a president? - Not for over a decade. Don't you read the news?

- Oh, this one's tough. - Is it?

- Dong Soo. - Yes, boss?

Have you heard the saying, about how if you try hard,

you can achieve anything you want?

- Yeah...? - Let's continue to work hard.

Yes, sir. Damn, that's deep. Right?

You ever heard something as poetic as that?

Wah, you hear our boss? Not your average gangster, nah.

- He's over here philosophizing and stuff like that. - Stop it. Shut up already.

I'm getting a call.

Hm? OK, sure.

Yeah, we'll drive him home.

They said, your tutor's out of the exam room. Everything's fine.

One of our guys is watching him. He'll take him home when he's done.

He'll probably quit.

Oh, boss, since we're here,

why not let them look at your hand?

No need. Let's go, the Chairman's waiting.

- Yes, boss. - Yes, boss.

Good evening.

Kwang Soo's... probably working with the Rotari gang.

It's a problem. We need to deal with him.

Is that so?

If we're planning on dealing with him, why did you knock him out?

'Cause he was threatening...

He threatened my tutor.

Oh...

So how're you studies going? Your SAT scores?

This year was... It wasn't my best year.

But I'll try again.

Hmm.

- I'm around level 7 or 8. - Oh yeah?

Isn't that good? What's the top level? Is it 10?

You must be proud of yourself. Surely you're happy. Huh?

For CSATs... level 1... is the highest.

OK.

Welcome back, sir.

You guys go on. Gonna go for a drive.

Sure we can't drive you?

We don't mind driving you home.

- It's really dark and... - No, I wanna drive.

Drive safe, sir.

Just give up.

I know you've been really trying on this whole GED thing,

and the SATs, but...

Listen, Deuk Pal.

Cook meat for too long,

and it'll end up too tough.

That's kind of how life is.

People like Kwang Soo, who I thought was our family,

are gonna betray us.

That's what the world is turning into these days.

Everyone for themselves.

You gotta know...

when the colleague quits.

And that's what I'm doing.

You take over now.

The Chilseong gang is all yours.

13 DAYS LEFT TO LISTEN TO THIS ONLINE LECTURE.

What?

Hey! Hey you! Don't jump!

Hey, wait!

Hey! Hey, wait!

Am I dead?

Geez... this pain is something else.

Nah, I'm Kim Deuk Pal, second in line to the Chilseong gang.

I can't be...

Then why do my legs feel so weak?

What the hell? What happened to my legs?

How long was I in bed for?

Am I dreaming?

Uh? But this kid's...

Oh yeah! It's that kid.

Geez, I wonder if he's OK.

Ah... Ah. What's with my voice?

Why does this dream feel so real all of a sudden?

Come out already!

Please, why won't you let us in?

We've been over this. If you don't leave we'll call the police.

- Jong Cheol. - Hey! Come on!

You little punk! Get out here!

- You just had someone killed, show yourself! - We're calling the cops!

Dong Soo. Jong Cheol.

See what happens!

Looking out for me even in my dreams.

- Break it open. - Get out of the way or you'll get hurt!

Dong Soo, what's up?

Get up, kid!

Have you lost your mind?! What the hell?

Stop messing around and let me go!

Why am I so tired? I feel like I'm about to die.

Wait... This isn't a dream.

No! What is going on?

Shut up!! You...

Have you no shame? Our boss is dead because of you!

Wait, what do you mean, dead?

You wanna find out where he is? Well, we can make that happen.

Ah! Hey, stop!

Let go of me! I told you to let go!

THE SPIRIT OF THE LATE KIM DEUK PAL LIES HERE

Tell him you're sorry.

Thank him for saving your life. You owe him that.

Do it, punk.

This can't be happening. You can't have a funeral for me!

I'm right here. I'm still alive!

Shut this kid up!

Hey! You... you probably can't recognize me!

Oh, I know exactly who you are.

You're the reason our boss is gone. He saved you.

And you have the gall to insult him?

If I had my way, I'd put you right where he is. Come here!

Jong Cheol.

Hey, kid.

Just go. Yeah?

But sir...

Are you deaf, too? Get outta here!

Hey! Don't you worry.

There's no need to hold a funeral for me.

I'll be back before you know it.

You're not the one we want back!

You can't fix what's happened here, ungrateful little punk!

If they're having a funeral, it must mean I'm physically dead.

Of course they're gonna think I'm dead. My soul's not in there anymore.

Maybe if I find my body in the mortuary and return to it

then I can make it back.

Yes, we're embalming him soon.

Don't worry! Mr. Kim's body is in good hands.

Hey, kid! You can't go in there.

Get out of my way or you'll get hurt.

Is Mr. Kim your father?

Here.

See? He's cold. We'll start the embalming soon.

Tomorrow morning, he'll be a handful of ashes.

You won't be able to hold his hand anymore.

Say your final goodbye now.

How do we wake him up again? You've seen so many cases!

How to bring him back, revive, and wake up the soul?

You know how to do that kind of stuff, right?

You've watched too many sci fi movies.

What if I hold his hand like that?

Maybe if I hug him like this?

It's not gonna work.

No matter what you try, I'm afraid your father is dead.

Death is final, sadly.

We cannot turn back the clock.

All right. Let's turn back the clock.

If I have the same fall,

then I might be able to go back to my body.

A mirror. I need a mirror.

Don't worry. Your face wasn't hurt.

How long was I unconscious for? Eh?

The funeral! I need to go to the funeral!

It's over. The funeral's all done.

Before the cremation, the gang came back again.

They wanted you to properly apologize.

It was 3 days ago. You need to rest up now.

We'll never forget you, boss.

So, where's this kid's soul?

Can he not get back because I'm in his body?

But I can't live as a kid.

He has his whole life ahead of him.

Like, school. He's still young.

He's in high school? I thought he was younger.

Hasn't spent much time outdoors, has he?

Doesn't this kid have any family?

Why's no one here?

Not even a "hello"?

Good to see you, miss.

Oh god, stop!

Are you messing with me here?

What is it with you and your mom?

Do you both have a grudge against me or something?

'Cause it feels like... you're trying to make my life harder.

Why would you do this?

Tell me.

Why?

Your mom put you up to this? Huh? Yeah, you...

You think if the chairman knows, he'll come see you and your mom?

You've certainly made a point.

Don't you know there are easier ways to get attention?

You're hopeless.

This clearly isn't his mom. And she mentioned a chairman.

What's their relationship?

I already have to clean up all your mom's messes and now this?!

I'm so fed up! What is your problem?

Seriously? You can't even kill yourself properly.

What's with your face, boy?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Respect your elders.

Why do I get stuck taking care of a brat like this?

What is her problem?

Whoever her parents are, I feel sorry for them!

And who's this chairman?

Whoever this kid is, his life is complex.

Huh? It unlocked.

Wait, what just happened?

Must be that new face recognition software stuff.

With something like this,

studying must be so much easier for them.

"December 20th.

Why is Jae Min doing this to me?

Just leave me alone.

I hate school.

I'm so sick of everything.

I want it all to end.

I want to die.

I wish I could die and disappear."

Is this...

"Lee Heon's diary"?

First, he told me to steal my parents' booze.

After that...

it was their jewelry.

I told him that was it. There was nothing left to steal.

So he said to steal some cigarettes from a store.

If I told them I didn't want to, there were endless beatings.

These bastards are the ones that need beatings.

I figured having Hong Jae Min in my class

would ruin the entire sophomore year.

But at least Sae Gyeong is in the same class, too.

I really wish I could be friends with that guy.

But that's probably impossible.

I was watching Sae Gyeong 'cause I only wanted to be his friend.

But at some point, Hong Jae Min started calling me a stalker.

So I guess I became a stalker.

Oh shit, what the hell?

Move it, loser.

Now, everyone at school either avoids me

or talks about me behind my back.

- All right. This one's ten. - Yeah?

This one's eight.

- And this one's five points. - Yeah.

OK.

Make sure you aim. Last place gets a penalty.

- I'm going for the bulls-eye! - Do it!

Ugh! C'mon.

You suck, dude.

Hey, target. Hey! Don't move.

- Do it already! - Time's up!

- I didn't even get to try! - Shut up, move over, man.

Why is Jae Min doing this to me?

Just leave me alone. I hate school.

I'm so sick of everything.

I want it all...

to end.

I want to die.

I wish I could die and disappear.

OK. Let's go back to school.

I know why I'm in your body, kid.

Let me borrow your body for now.

I'll go to school in your place.

In return, I'll clean up this messy life.

So that you can live like a human again.

That's my specialty.

All right, Song Lee Heon.

Let's do this.

I am Song Lee Heon now.

Who is it?

It's me, Deuk Pa...

I mean, Lee Heon.

My God!

Oh, you were discharged so quickly! Are you OK?

Considering her age, she doesn't seem to be Song Lee Heon's mother.

A housekeeper, maybe?

I'd be fine as an outpatient...

ma'am.

Well, did you tell the secretary you got out?

- Secretary? - The president's secretary.

Lee Mi Kyung.

Why would you do this?

Tell me.

Why?

That lady? I need to report to her about my whereabouts?

Pfft. Fancy people.

- Yeah, I'll take care of it. - Oh, you better.

You're gonna give you mom a heart attack.

So that's his mom.

No dad in the picture, it seems.

So we've got a mom, whoever this lady is.

And the chairman's secretary, who visits sometimes.

I can remember all this.

Do you want lunch?

Are you kidding?

Of course I can eat.

How can I function with this little food? Don't you have a bigger rice bowl?

Mmm...

Whatever they did at the hospital,

they clearly fixed your appetite.

Why's she sleeping on the couch?

Same thing. Another hangover. While you were in the hospital,

you know how often she came here and what she brought?

All that alcohol!

Is she trying to make her an alcoholic?

Also, the chairman's wife is in the hospital, too.

If she passes away,

the only son left for the chairman will be you.

Imagine your mom as the OK Construction chairman's wife.

At least legally.

He's the illegitimate child of OK Construction's chairman?

OK Construction is one

of the top 3 construction companies in South Korea.

When the cat's away, the mice will play.

Maybe that lady's in charge while the chairman's away.

Even the driver's watching your mom.

She just disappears sometimes.

We never quite know what to do with her.

I should stop. I'm talking your ear off.

You don't wanna hear this, right?

- Where's my stuff? - Mr. Kim's already got it.

Should be up in your room by now.

- Thank you for lunch. - M-hm.

He is like a totally different person.

Traffic accidents change the whole personality?

A strange kid.

Huge house, no limit credit card, a chauffeur.

All to monitor the kid's every move.

But no one to really watch over him.

- Shave it off. - No one does that these days.

Shave it!

Your teachers will not like it. And think that you're rebelling.

Your classmates'll get scared. But if that's what you want...

Teachers don't like that?

Look like a rebel? That won't work.

Then... sports cut.

That's what old men say.

Don't you guys call it a crew cut?

Crew?

- That's right. Turn around. - Crew cut.

Damn, are these pants or leggings?

Excuse me? Er, can you make the legs a bit wider?

For real? Oh!

That's the first time a student's asked me for wider legs.

- Oh! You're going to stand out! - Really?

Er, I can wear them just like this.

Like... everyone else.

Wah. Is that what the kids are into these days?

Pfft. Puffy ass coats?

They all look the same. Which ones should I get?

Geez.

I'm sorry. Here you go.

Watch where you're...

Watch where you're going next time, huh?

Those are no good.

The explanations are unclear. The questions are too hard.

Er... Ah!

This one's perfect to practice your basic math skills

as a freshman.

Yeah, thanks.

This is where I dropped off, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, if you start with this, you'll have an easier time.

Hang on.

Are you free right now?

I have, uh...

Because it's not just math...

You definitely need this one.

Thank you.

How do kids study nowadays?

"Kids nowadays"?

They study hard, mostly with textbooks.

Oh yeah, like your roots!

- They need to be strong... - 'Cause strong roots lead to healthy branches.

It means the basics are what's important.

Hey, you!

You must be popular among the ladies.

Why do you talk like that?

Do you live with your grandparents?

W-why? What's wrong with how I talk?

It's just how my uncles talk.

What? No. This is how kids talk nowadays.

That's what I mean.

We don't usually say things like "ladies" or "kids nowadays."

Isn't it weird to call others "kids", when you're a kid too?

- It doesn't make sense. - Then what about you?

What's with that face?

Eh, my bad, I thought you were someone I knew.

Right. How would we know each other?

The age difference between us might be really...

big.

Thanks again. Study hard, huh?

And listen to your parents and stuff like that.

And get home by curfew. OK?

I could've sworn...

he was Song Lee Heon.

WHERE ARE YOU?

If only I had gone into his body.

High school is not gonna be easy.

Get that inside.

You! Get over here! Help him with that.

Try standing up.

Now try putting some weight on it.

Excuse me!

Can I get these delivered to my house?

Um, sir, aren't you getting out?

- Here? - You always asked me to drop you off here.

You don't like getting out at the school entrance.

Right. Um, just take me to the entrance.

OK. Also what about your name tag?

Making some rookie mistakes on my first day at school.

I'm more nervous than my first day of first grade.

Good morning, sir!

Polite, I like it. But...

Oh, name tag?

I-I've forgotten it today.

Sorry, sir.

You're in luck.

I'll let it slide today since it's the first day.

But no more excuses tomorrow, understand?

Yes, sir! Thank you, sir!

Go on.

Look at that kid. Great manners.

Y'all need to take lessons from him!

Clean you self up like that kid!

Look at this hair, this uniform! What'll we do with you?

Each of you, come to the office at lunch

and write about proper school etiquette!

- No way! I wanna hear about it. - I'll tell you later!

Now where the hell do I sit?

Haven't been on campus long enough to know.

My dear classmates.

Is it OK to sit wherever?

They're not, like, assigned yet.

Wow, schools are fancier these days.

They've got air conditioning.

And even an air purifier.

The kids seem...

the same, though.

Do you guys know him?

Is he a transfer student?

He's kind of cute, though.

I think he's good-looking.

He looks familiar.

Right? I thought that, too.

In your seats, everyone.

Sae Gyeong?

I'm your homeroom teacher for the year.

Jeong Eun Chae. Most of you know me already.

Right!

Alright! We're gonna have a good year.

OK, let's start with attendance.

- Kim Dong Hee? - Here!

- Kim Ye Ji? - Here!

- Park Dong Kyu? - Here!

Song Lee Heon?

Present, ma'am!

That's Song Lee Heon? That loner-stalker dude?

Song Lee Heon? That's Song Lee Heon?

That loser? Was that what he looked like?

He used to cover his face. With that crazy long emo hair.

- Why's he cute all of a sudden? - What happened?

Everyone, quiet down.

- Lee Seong Min? - Here.

- Choi Sae Gyeong. - Here.

And, final one... Hong Jae Min.

Here.

It's only the 1st day, but...

What's the deal? How'd we get stuck in this class?

I know. Can we go to the office and request a class change?

Last year, Lee Heon, Jae Min, and Sae Gyeong

were all in the same class just like this.

Now we're stuck with them again?

...for the time being. Does that sound good? OK?

- Yes. - OK.

Great.

Hey, Lee Heon! You punk.

Why did you ignore all my texts over the break?

Wow! You must have really missed me.

What?

Yeah, because I really wanted to see you...

Jae Min.

Ah.

Wow. The hell's going on? You're smiling?

Jae Min, he's smiling.

Did you hit your head, you freak?

Oh, yeah.

I hurt my head when I fell.

Oddly enough, that brought me back to my senses.

I jumped off a pedestrian bridge.

You pushed me, didn't you?

How's it my fault if you decided to jump?

Considering how much you bullied me, you practically pushed me off.

You killed me, Jae Min.

You crazy jerk.

Let go of me.

Let's just get this over with. Come on, hit me.

I've got a reputation to uphold.

Freaking weirdo!

Piece of shit!

Damn. Can't throw him off.

This would've been a piece of cake with my body.

Ya scared me with the throw the first punch shit.

Thought you were someone else for a sec.

Hey, Lee Heon. Trying to act tough this year?

Just beg me like before.

Just say you don't wanna get beaten. That's more like you.

I'm not going down that easily.

I'm Kim Deuk Pal! The number two in line to the Chilseong gang!

Oh...

So damn slow.

That's more like it.

Stupid freak.

I really hate this body.

You must've known you couldn't win.

Let's take a look.

Why did you pretend not to know me at the store?

Your face, your height... I mean, you look exactly the same.

So I get that people haven't caught on.

But the way you talk, your laugh, your vibe...

Everything is totally different.

It's like you're someone else.

- Hello, sir. - Hello, sir.

Umm, sir, we met this crazy kid.

Said he was Duke Paul from the Chils Young Gang.

I came over to sign documents.

I'm sending you overseas to study.

You are not Lee Heon.

You guessed right.

I'm Chil-seong's number two, Kim Deok-pa.
