All clear!

(A Hundred Memories)

- Thank you. - Goodbye.

Hello.

- Take your time, please. - Come on.

Please don't push.

All clear!

"By the time..."

Next stop, Gyeongin Bank.

If you sleep through it, it's your loss.

Get ready for your stop.

Excuse me.

Come on.

- Take care. - Gosh.

- Slow down. - Close the door.

Please move to the back!

Hold on. I'm getting on!

It's no use.

I'm telling you, it won't close.

All the way in, please!

- I'm sorry. - I'll have to push you in.

- Of course, it won't work. - No way.

Not even the Bionic Woman could pull that off.

- Just a little further in! - Please move in a little more!

- Please go in. - Behind you.

- Stop pushing. - Please, just a little further in!

- That's dangerous. - Look.

- I think she's going to make it. - Yes.

Two!

- Three! - Gosh.

All clear, driver!

Please, you've got to help me.

I'm so dead if I'm late again today.

There's no more room. Stop letting people on and just go!

Hey. Can you hold your breath in?

What?

Okay, take a deep breath.

- One, two. - I told you there is no room!

- Come on. - That's enough, please!

She said she'll be dead if she's late!

We've got to look out for each other.

- We're going to be late. - Come on!

Driver, I'm not on yet!

Stop!

Driver!

Stop!

I'm not on yet! Stop!

Driver, the conductor isn't on the bus!

Driver!

Stop!

Stop! Driver!

And that's how our story begins.

We were young, but our lives were exhausting and threadbare.

But because we had each other, we shone ever so brightly.

The you and me of those radiant days.

And...

(Episode 1: How Beautiful Youth Is)

Watch your step on your way out.

Take care.

All clear!

Gosh. That was a close call.

I mean, how does a bus conductor miss her own bus?

If it weren't for that young lady,

the driver would've just kept going without knowing.

- Let me see Bus 101. - Goodness.

- Hello. - Hello. Here you were.

(Cheongah Bus)

- Goodbye. - Thanks.

This one's on me.

You even lost your scarf because of me.

And this is supposed to make us even?

It was expensive, you know?

Then pay me back later, with interest.

Oh, right.

Don't read on the bus.

It's a recipe for motion sickness.

Gosh.

Talking down to me on the first meeting?

Brutal.

(Cheongah Bus)

Oh, my gosh.

- My eyes! It flew clean off! - Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my. Where'd my eyeball go?

- Oh, my. - Sorry.

- My eyes! - Here.

- Where'd my eyeball go? - Hey. Are you okay?

- Oh, my! - Can you see?

Here you go.

You did great today.

Kids these days are...

This is too much.

- Goodness. - What do you think you're doing?

Miss.

February's fuel costs aren't adding up.

- Could you take a look at this? - Oh, come on. Seriously.

All right.

- Goodness me. - What are you doing?

I told you to check it thoroughly, didn't I?

- Yes. - We can't come up short, got it?

Yes, ma'am.

Manager.

Please, I'm begging you.

Please, just let me get back to work.

I swear, that was the first time I ever skimmed.

Go away.

The same old line. Here we go again.

"I swear, it was my first time."

Goodness.

Hey. If you were me, would you believe that?

Do you take me for a fool?

But I'm telling the truth.

I haven't gotten a route in three days.

And I have to send money home to my family.

Please, just put me back on the road.

It won't happen again, okay?

No chance.

Move!

Manager.

Hello.

And you are?

Oh, are you the new hire we were expecting?

Yes. Here you go.

Oh, no.

It states that you have no experience as a conductor.

- That's going to be tough, then. - Hold on.

You gain experience as you go, right?

You look a bit frail, don't you?

To be a bus conductor, you need to be in good shape.

And you need a powerful set of lungs...

Anyone getting off?

If not, all clear!

That's it.

You're hired.

(Giant Boxing Gym)

(Incheon Mayor's Cup Boxing Tournament)

(Giant, 10th Anniversary, May 21, 1982)

Punch.

Hey. Jae Pil! Don't just dodge. Throw a punch!

Don't hold back.

Hold back and you'll get clocked.

This is so frustrating!

You've got a match coming up, Deok Gu!

Get your head in the game!

If this were a real match, you would've lost on a foul.

Hey. Is your ankle okay?

Are you sure? It looked like you just twisted it.

- I'm fine. - You sure?

Looks fine to me.

Hey. Water.

Hey.

What are you, some kind of saint, passing up an uppercut like that?

You should've let it fly right there!

That was a golden opportunity for a KO.

Come on. Jinxed Jae Pil.

What's the point of winning?

It's not like it's an official match.

That's my whole point.

With skills like yours, why won't you enter a tournament?

At least tell me why?

Because the tournament isn't my goal.

Oh, my.

Oh, my. Look at him.

Oh, my.

Oh, my.

Oh, my. Look at that sharp jawline.

Just look at that.

That thing's so sharp, the actress might cut herself on it.

She's going to get cut.

- Come on. That was the best part. - Seriously.

Just sitting there with that dopey look on your face.

Don't tell me you're actually jealous.

Do you think I pay the electric bill so you can watch your soap operas?

Oh, my.

That look in your eyes just now.

It was the exact same look you had back then.

You know, when you saved me from that rude client.

That gooey, love-struck look.

Is that any way to talk to your husband?

Goodness gracious.

Water.

All right, fine.

He used to be such a romantic.

Where did that Han Gi Bok go?

And who's this gray-haired man standing over there?

I miss that guy.

Ice.

Seriously. Could you not have asked at once?

I'm home.

- Jae Pil! - You're back.

Wait. Stop!

For a kid who was supposedly studying,

Your hair's soaking wet.

I ran home for some exercise.

Why would you run? You're a high school senior.

You should be studying every waking moment.

Especially since you already took a whole year off.

You're already so far behind.

It's not like you're dense or something.

You have an IQ of 140.

Why can't you bring your grades up?

And what's this?

Are you going to start inspecting my underwear too now?

Go upstairs and wash up.

Should I take a shower too?

After we put Se Ri to bed early?

Jae Pil!

You startled me.

Se Ri.

My little Magic Princess.

I'm not the Magic Princess.

The Magic Princess is Minky.

In my day, it was Se Ri.

What is it?

Do you want me to cut out more paper dolls?

Yes. Mom says she can't look away in case a kissing scene is on.

What does a kid like you know about kissing?

Come here. There.

Here we go.

All right. I'll do my best not to cut the tail off...

like I did last time.

- Okay. - Okay.

I got you.

Go toward the light. May you be reborn a human next time.

Gosh. That scared the daylights out of me.

Oh, my.

Goodness. She is not ordinary, that one.

Here. Have some water with that.

You'll get sores in your mouth if you keep eating like that.

Is that your fourth one already?

Anyway, our Ms. Koh here. She's a real piece of work?

A bus conductor who's constantly motion sick.

Always motion sick, but with a monster appetite.

She eats like a pig, but is still skinny as a rail.

And with that slender body, she smacks cockroaches dead easily.

I couldn't even eat lunch because of my motion sickness.

So I have to eat whenever I can.

Yeong Rye. You should try wearing sunglasses.

Hong Ja from next door says it helps a bit with the carsickness.

But she gets motion sickness when it rains, too.

I thought I took my glasses off...

What is wrong with me?

Hey. Is it that hilarious?

You really have a strange sense of humor.

This one's not ordinary, either.

Hey. You brats!

Will you shut your mouths?

Today, I'm feeling...

really down and sensitive, okay?

She's on a diet right now, so she's feeling a little sensitive.

I was just trying to get some sleep.

And suddenly, I smell sweet bread from you stuffing your face.

And the other is chattering away.

Can't you all just be quiet...

and act a little more sophmored?

Hae Ja.

I think you mean "sophisticated," not "sophmored."

The Three Corns.

Front and center.

Front and center!

It's showtime. Song and dance.

And you're not done until I'm in a good mood.

If I don't like it, we're skipping to the next track.

"Singing and Dancing." Start.

Don't you know what start means? It means you can begin.

- All our beloved friends - All our beloved friends

- Let us all gather around - Let us all gather around

All right, stop!

"Friends Forever."

- Like the wings of a dove - Like the wings of a dove

- That circle the blue sky - That circle the blue sky

Corns, I can't hear you. Raise your volume!

- Our hearts take to flight - Our hearts take to flight

- And soar right through the sky - And soar right through the sky

- We all share a laugh and a smile - We all share a laugh and a smile

- Living for the dream - Living for the dream

- Of a brand new tomorrow - Of a brand new tomorrow

- Oh, friends forever - Oh, friends forever

- Oh, hearts full of bliss - Oh, hearts full of bliss

- Oh, what a... - Oh, what a joyful life

Yes.

Come in.

All right. Listen up.

This is the new hire who just came in today.

Seo Jong Hee.

She says it's her first time as a conductor,

so teach her well.

Try not to learn any bad habits.

Now, get to sleep!

What's your name again?

Seo Jong Hee.

Well, aren't we informal?

You look a good 4 or 5 years younger than me.

How old are you?

I'm 23.

What are you going to do about it?

We're the same, then.

- The same? - Yes.

What does age matter? Time served is what counts.

A new hire, smacking her gum right in a senior's face.

The nerve on this one.

Quite the spectacle for her first day.

You mean a debacle, not a spectacle.

Spectacle is for when the view is spectacular.

Hey. Are you crazy?

Who does a new hire think she is, talking to my...

What was after Seo?

- Jong Hee. - Fine.

Jong Hee. Ding Dong. Whatever.

You're really smart, aren't you?

So smart...

you've got more guts than brains.

Right?

You.

Do you have any idea who I am in this room?

(Room 3)

"By the time."

"By the time."

"Keep it."

"English Grammar..."

(English Grammar)

That's a good one.

But you really should sleep when everyone else is.

Excuse me.

Are you really the same age as Hae Ja?

What? Of course not. That was a lie.

So what are you? Year of Tiger?

Or are you Year of Rabbit?

I'm...

Year of Rabbit.

Stop staring.

So, we really are the same age.

Gosh. That was quite the performance earlier.

(Cheongah Bus)

Gosh. Is it morning already?

You should get up.

Wake up.

(Cheongah Bus)

Start.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

Two, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

Two, two, three, four,

five, six, seven. One more time.

One, two, three, four,

- Five, six... - That wench...

is not your average girl, is she?

Yes, she looks like she's been around.

She's no ordinary girl, that one.

And I bet that wench lied about her age, too.

I'll have to put her in her place right from the start.

Darn it.

Good morning, sir.

- Jae Pil. Do you want a ride? - Hello.

Just pretend you didn't see me, sir.

I'm off.

(Cheongah Bus)

Bus number three.

Bus three conductor. Where are you? Hurry up and get going.

You're two minutes late already!

Here you are. Koh Yeong Rye.

Hey. Get over here.

You've got a trainee today.

What?

Hae Ja would be better...

Enough. She's the most honest person at this company,

and our best worker.

I'm counting on you. I'll leave you two.

Please show me the ropes.

"The most honest and best worker here."

Please. "The best?" Hardly.

As if I have anything to teach.

(Maintain street order.)

Watch your step on the way out.

No matter how many passengers are getting off,

you must collect the fare from all as they exit.

Because in a crowd, you lose track of who's paid and who hasn't.

And for passengers paying with cash, the trick is making change.

You have to be fast and accurate, no matter what.

With practice, you can just stick your hand in your pocket,

and you'll be able to feel if it's a cent or a dime.

You've got some skills.

You should use that talent for good. Now, how about a real ticket?

Darn it.

Gosh. It looked so real. How did you know right away?

The paper feels different, but the giveaway is their eyes.

People using fakes always have shifty eyes.

Impressive.

Please board!

Let's go.

Driver. All clear!

One at a time, please. Watch your step.

- Pay in the back! - In the back.

Hold on.

Why just one fare? You must pay for your friends too.

My friends?

What are you talking about? I got on alone.

Yeong Rye.

- Yeong Rye. Where are you going? - What's happening?

Goodness. There she goes again.

Unbelievable.

Three tokens.

Pay up. Now.

If I were going to pay, do you think I would've run?

My mom always said...

"Even a flea has its pride."

"You can live with nothing, but you can't live with no shame."

Wait!

Wait.

Can we maybe go the other way?

I get really bad motion sickness.

What are you talking about?

No way. You're not going anywhere until you pay up.

I said, pay the fare!

Three tokens. Now.

Get out of my way. Okay?

Get out of the way!

This is your last warning.

Move.

One, two,

three!

You should've just paid up.

This is going to cost you more in doctor's bills.

What are you...

Wait!

Where is it?

Thank...

Are you okay?

Yes.

(Giant, 10th Anniversary, May 21, 1982)

Hey! Assume the position!

Hey! You want to go?

Get down!

I told you all to be on time!

Next.

Who's this? You're late again? That's two extra for you.

Goodness. I nearly jumped out of my skin.

I thought the dean was here.

Well, the PTA president's son sneaking in.

Hey.

I hear they call you "Prince Charming."

- Must be nice? - Hey.

"Prince Charming," is it?

He was held back a year because he was sick.

So you should be calling him "Your Highness," you punk.

Your Highness.

What's it going to be?

Care for a smoke, Your Highness?

Knock yourself out.

Quiet!

Sit down.

All right. There are no special announcements.

Who's the empty seat?

Han Jae Pil, sir. He had to use the bathroom.

Oh, Jae Pil.

And air this place out during your break.

The female teachers are coming to me in tears.

They say the smell is so bad they can't teach. Okay?

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

That's all.

What is it? Did you oversleep, Jinxed Jae Pil?

Get off. It's too hot for all that.

I don't want to. I'm going to stick to you like glue.

I think I'm seriously touch-starved.

My parents were so busy with work that they didn't hold me much...

as a baby.

Let's see.

Gosh. Spicy stir-fried octopus!

Doesn't your stepmom realize that you can't handle spicy food at all?

"Can't handle it?" What are you talking about?

I can handle my spice just fine now, okay?

Please. You rinse your kimchi. Who are you kidding?

That was in middle school. Give me that.

You're so cute.

It's cute. You and your pride.

You're coming to the match tomorrow, right?

Of course, I am.

Seventh period is gym, so let's go out then.

(Giant, 10th Anniversary, May 21, 1982)

Yeong Rye.

Why are you ironing the towels we use to clean our hands and feet?

All that fuss over nothing.

I was just bored.

Just leave that be.

Why don't you try and mend the ripped ones instead?

I just can't seem to get it right.

But you're a certified seamstress, aren't you?

Gosh.

Goodness.

You just can't sit still, can you? It's like a sickness.

You're not going to work in a factory,

so why bother with the certificate?

You never know.

You're a professional.

Hey. Popcorn Rookie.

Get over here and rub my back.

Hey. Do it right, will you?

Level two.

Okay. Level three.

It's so cold.

Girls. Aren't you getting hungry?

Snacks are on me.

Hey. Newcomer.

Newcomer.

- Me? - Yes, you.

The new hires are always on snack duty.

I'm only saying this once, so listen up.

Go to Ddoddo Snack Bar at the intersection,

Get 10 jumbo dumplings, 2 bags of tteokbokki without green onions,

Three servings of sundae without the lung,

but with the heart and liver.

And five fish cake rods, not the folded ones,

with lots of broth.

Then, at Hwajung Supermarket next door,

get 5 packs of crackers and 4 rainbow candies,

4 almond chocolate bars, and 2 1-liter cartons of milk.

Did you get that?

Go on. Hurry up.

Can you repeat that?

What was that?

I'm pretty sure I said I was only saying it once.

If you're too late, we'll get indigestion.

Be back by 10pm. Any later and you're locked out.

Aren't you going?

You only have 29 minutes left.

Ten jumbo dumplings. Two bags of tteokbokki, no green onions,

And for the sundae...

Did she say no heart? Just a moment.

No lung and add liver and heart. Three servings.

And five fish cake rods, not the folded ones,

And extra broth, please.

Hey.

Can you please ring this up first? Quickly.

Just a minute. I need to finish this other bill first.

Twenty jumbo dumplings, 35 cents.

Three plates of tteokbokki...

are 27 cents.

Sundae is 15 cents.

The fish cakes...

are 24 cents.

The fritters are 22 cents.

And then the kimbap. One, two, three rolls...

I need to start over from the beginning.

No, it's okay. Give it here. I'll do it.

That's 35 plus 27 plus 15...

plus 24, plus 22, and 30.

So that's a total of 1.53 dollars.

Oh, my. You're incredibly fast.

They sure ate a lot.

You've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve?

And when did you learn to use an abacus?

Well, I figured you never know, so I got my abacus certification.

But listen, you need to be careful.

If you get on Hae Ja's bad side, life in this dorm will be tough.

In our room, what she says goes.

Why?

Well, for one, she's the oldest.

And she has been here the longest.

- And her personality... - Is a total wench, right?

That's what it seems like.

I don't like her either.

- Oh, right. Hey. - Yes?

Do you think you can carry all this back?

Sure. Where are you off to?

Well...

Since I'm already out, I figured I'd go see my mom.

You need to get back fast, okay? All right?

Hurry. Go on. Okay?

Hurry up!

Mom.

- Mom. - What?

Hey. Why are you running?

You said running made your head spin and that you'll throw up.

What are you doing here?

I was in the neighborhood and figured you might still be here.

Are you about to pack up?

Yes.

Goodness gracious.

I even had a customer for the horse ride today.

"This horse is so old. The spring isn't sturdy enough."

Unbelievably picky. They were a real pain.

At least a few people showed up later in the evening.

And I sold about a dozen lucky draws.

Anyway...

The best sight is a customer's back as they're leaving.

All right. You two, hop down.

- Okay. - Come over here.

- Come on. - Come on, Yeong Mi.

Let's go.

Good job, my little helpers.

Here.

Here, you have one too.

Get a sugar boost before you head out or whatever.

It's sweet.

You've got some sleep in your eye, Yeong Mi.

Looks like nothing's missing.

Didn't I ask you to buy those egg cookies?

No, you didn't.

I'm sure I would've remembered that.

Aren't you guys going to set the table?

- You want me to set the table too? - Coming, Hae Ja.

Goodness.

What?

Newcomer. Are you planning on eating?

Too bad. You've still got work to do.

What else is there to do?

The blankets get washed every ten days.

And that's the new hire's job.

Right?

That goes without saying, Hae Ja.

If the new hire doesn't do it, who else will?

That is really classy.

You're being so petty over food. Seriously.

Hey.

What did you just say?

Nothing.

I said, "Enjoy your meal."

What are you waiting for? Set the table.

- Thanks for the food. - Thanks for the food.

Is Yeong Sik always this late?

Of course, he is.

Being poor is a curse.

At his age, he should only be focused on studying,

But instead, he has to worry about making money.

Whenever I think about your brother,

it breaks my heart. I feel so sorry for him.

It tears me up inside.

You only ever feel sorry for Yeong Sik.

What about my tuition?

I'll pay it. The deadline isn't here yet.

Mom.

Look.

What if we ask our uncle?

What uncle? You don't have an uncle.

I wouldn't even walk in their direction.

No matter how desperate you get, don't you go groveling to them.

The second your father died, they sold the family burial grounds.

What do you expect from people who'd just cut us off like that?

Honestly, you'd have an easier time getting blood from a stone.

Yeong Mi. You're slacking, aren't you?

I can tell you're just resting your hands on it.

Put your back on it. Come on.

It'll be easier on Mom that way.

Come on.

- One, two. - One, two.

- One, two. - Goodness.

We're almost there! One, two!

Come out!

Come out of there, now!

Oh, no!

Hey! Ok Hui. Are you out of your mind?

- I can't hold it anymore! - Are you insane?

I'm about to have an accident, right now!

I'm sorry, okay?

I'm really about to have an accident. I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry! - Get out!

What on earth is going on here?

Oh, my gosh. This is killing me.

I have no idea.

Since dawn, it's like a thunderstorm was raging inside my stomach.

And then...

- it hit every single one of us... - I feel like my organs are out.

The other rooms are fine.

Darn it.

What did you eat to all get explosive diarrhea?

Are you two all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

- Yes, me too. - Gosh. I'm in pain.

Gosh. This is a disaster. We've got buses scheduled to leave.

How are we supposed to cover all these shifts?

Oh, my gosh. I'm going to have an accident.

As you all know, right?

This is an emergency.

It's an emergency, so it's no time to say, "That's not my job," right?

So we all need to pitch in and get this done fast.

Look, I'll take it if you insist.

But what are we supposed to do with this?

Because someone has to be there to collect the fares.

- For now... - For now!

Just get on the bus. All you do is open and close doors.

Collect the fares and then go.

It's simple, right? Here, take it. Quick.

This is no time to stand around. Hurry up and get ready!

What are you doing? Get on.

Let's get moving. Go.

Koh Yeong Rye! Aren't you coming?

Trainee!

You're riding on a different bus today!

Hurry!

You punk.

If it was this bad,

you should've said something back then!

What are we supposed to do now?

Goodness.

And you have a match coming up!

Gosh. This is driving me crazy.

If we lose the welterweight, we're completely ruined.

I can still fight.

I just need a bit more icing.

Hey. You think icing is going to fix this?

You're trying to make me out to be the bad guy.

You could end your whole career like this, you punk! You hear me?

I don't know whether to kill you or not.

I'm seriously losing my mind.

- Coach! - Yes?

Coach.

We're here.

We seriously ran our way here.

Jae Pil.

Could you do me a favor, just this once?

Me?

No way. Why would I do something like that?

What do you mean, "no way?"

Then why does everyone have explosive diarrhea?

Only you and Yeong Rye are fine, and you didn't eat with us.

You put something in the food, didn't you?

What is it? Did you spike it with laxatives?

Hey.

I wouldn't stoop to a cheap trick like that.

- I'm not like you. - What did you say?

You brat. How old are you?

Spit it out! How old are you, you wench?

Does your age make you royalty or something?

Gosh. You're really something else.

- Look at them go. - Hey. Let go of me!

- Good grief. - Hey!

At this rate, she'll get her scalp torn right off, don't you think?

Goodness. What a vicious wench.

She didn't just poke the bear.

She went and pulled Kwon Hae Ja by the hair?

- What's wrong with you? - Hey.

Who do you think will let go first?

My money's on Kwon Hae Ja.

- You two. Stop it. - Hey!

- Hey. Come on, you two. - Stop it, already!

I'm betting on the new hire.

Yeong Rye, how about you? Who are you betting on?

- Gosh. I'm out of here. - Stop it.

Hey.

Gosh. I'm also...

Don't hit the face!

Hey, let go!

All right. In 1, 2, 3, you both let go. Do you hear me?

One, two, three!

Of course, you wouldn't let go. Just brilliant!

- Hey. Let go! - You let go!

- One, two, three! - One, two...

Honestly, these troublemakers.

Kwon Hae Ja. Are you sure about this?

I'm telling you, I'm positive!

I'm telling you, she's the one who did it!

If she isn't the one, I'll change my last name.

From Kwon to Con.

In fact, I'll just quit my job here altogether.

Listen. He's the favorite to win, so...

Focus on your defense. Stay defensive, and then...

Don't get too aggressive. Don't force it.

Stick to defense, and take any opening you see. Okay?

Box!

That's right!

- Land a punch! Smash his head in! - Hey!

- Go for his head! - No, don't!

Jae Pil. Are you okay?

No, just leave me alone!

I said no!

Please, stop!

My mom says she doesn't want you to!

No!

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

Five!

Are you okay?

- Nice. - That's it.

- This is your moment! - Box!

One, two, three,

four, five,

- six, seven... - Come on. Hang in there!

- Eight, nine! - Eight, nine!

Ten!

You did it!

The new Aurora TV by Shinheung Electronics...

you've seen advertised everywhere.

It's 20 inches.

And in keeping with the new age of color,

this model even comes equipped with color controls.

- Nice, isn't it? - Thank you.

The color looks great, too.

- Try another channel. - Sure, sir.

(Royal Color TV)

There was a major upset today at the youth boxing championship.

That kid there looks a lot like my boy.

An unknown rookie defeated...

It's not just a resemblance. I think that actually is Jae Pil.

- What? - As the winner was announced,

the gym was filled with an uproar of both cheers and shock.

With this win, this unknown rookie...

could be on his way to stardom. All eyes are on what's next.

- That punk. - Experts are saying...

he is showing great potential.

Yeong Rye. Are you going to wash up?

Over here.

Why? What's going on?

Well...

Just a minute ago...

Did a cat get your tongue?

What on earth were you doing, throwing punches, you punk!

I wasn't throwing punches. It's called boxing.

What?

The nerve of you...

This is what happens when you run around doing this.

And why your grades are awful despite being so smart, you punk!

You don't want to go to college?

You're already a year behind. You want to retake exams for years?

Do you think I'm working so hard as PTA president...

and pouring money down the drain so you can mess around like this?

Stop this nonsense and get a tutor.

I'll get you the best one money can buy.

No. Besides, that's illegal.

Why you little...

Since when have you ever cared about the law, you punk?

You're doing it!

You have to get into college, don't you?

I won't.

College isn't my dream.

It's your regret you couldn't go. It's your dream, not mine.

What did you say?

You disrespectful little punk.

What are you going to do? Stare me down, you punk?

Get on the floor.

I said, get on the floor, you little punk!

You dare treat your own father like he's trash?

What was that?

College is my regret?

If you know that,

then you should grit your teeth and work even harder!

Are you still refusing the tutor?

How about now?

And now!

It hurts.

(Lee Suk Ja)

(Dowon Pharmacy)

(Dowon Pharmacy)

What are you guys doing in here?

Hey!

Why are you in my bag at this hour?

What's all this noise?

Why are you making such a racket? I can't even sleep.

Well, they were sneaking around, going through my bag like alleycats!

What's this all about?

Are you stealing things now, too?

This.

(Dowon Pharmacy)

What is it?

It's medicine from Suk Ja's bag.

I'm pretty sure it's a laxative.

Earlier, in the washroom,

I even saw her eating a cream bun.

Who eats a cream bun when they have an upset stomach?

I didn't eat any cream bun!

Hae Ja, it wasn't me.

She's just jumping to conclusions.

Then what is this?

It's...

It's cold medicine.

Ever since yesterday,

I've been feeling a cold coming on.

Then let me try one.

We'll know if it's cold medicine or a laxative, right?

Since I don't have an upset stomach.

What? Nothing yet?

Wait. Is this actually cold medicine?

(Bathroom)

Thank goodness.

That it finally kicked in.

That's right.

I did it!

I'm always stuck on standby, not making a dime.

I was sick of watching you all be so happy-go-lucky.

I wanted you to know what it's like to miss work and lose out on pay.

So I put some laxatives in the fish cake broth.

- So what? - Hey.

Do you hear yourself right now?

This girl's completely lost it!

That's right! I have lost it!

Do you think I'd do that if I were in my right mind?

Let's be honest here.

Is there a single one of you who hasn't skimmed off the top?

So why should I be the only one who gets punished?

Why is it just me?

You were so sure of yourself.

And I wasn't the culprit, was I?

So?

You told the personnel manager and the housemother, didn't you?

That if I weren't the one to blame,

you'd quit...

this place entirely.

So what?

You really expect me to resign over something this petty?

How dare you threaten me!

If there's one thing I hate, it's violence.

Let's just keep this between us.

All the dirty looks I'll get at work thinking I'm the culprit...

I can handle it.

But...

Stop making the other girls give you massages.

They're wiped out after working all day.

(Fire hydrant)

- Are you okay? - No.

I'm not okay. This is my...

fifth trip already.

Hey. Do you want to go to the hospital?

- Or maybe... - That's not it.

I'm just starving.

From flushing everything out.

Are you sure you should be eating that?

That ramyeon's going to be rough on your stomach.

I don't care.

I'm just going to eat while I can.

Even if it goes right through me.

You're a closet oddball, aren't you?

A closet oddball? What's that?

Someone who's secretly an oddball.

They're scarier than the obvious ones.

Well, now you know.

And you're definitely one.

- This is good. - It is?

Watch this. I'll show you something cool.

I can even do this with my neck.

Here I go.

Watch.

Pretty cool, right?

Do you want to try?

Yes.

Don't tell me you're a certified hula hoop instructor, too.

You're always so driven.

You have a ton of certificates and always study in your spare time.

Those are just things I got as a backup plan.

But my real dream...

is to go to college.

After I pass my GED.

"College?"

Gosh. That's impressive.

I'll major in Korean Literature.

And become a teacher or a professor.

It might take a while, but...

Once things are better for my family,

I'm going to do whatever it takes.

What about you?

Do you have a dream?

Of course, I do.

I'm going to...

Maybe I'll become Miss Korea.

And after that, I'll become an actress.

I'll make people laugh and cry, and move them.

A star that shines brighter than all the others up there.

That's so amazing.

You'll definitely make it.

I don't know about that.

The way things are going, I'll be stuck yelling "All clear!"

In this book I'm studying,

there's this one quote.

"Boys, be ambitious."

What does that mean?

"Boys, be ambitious."

"Not for money or for your own selfish success."

"And not for that fleeting thing that people call fame."

"But for the sake of attaining all that a person is meant to be."

So every morning, I recite a little mantra.

"Girls, be ambitious."

Who says only boys get to be ambitious?

Girls should be, too.

We've got our whole lives ahead of us.

I think I just fell for you.

Well...

I already have.

The moment you blew that huge bubble on the bus.

You did?

That's a relief. I'm glad it's mutual.

Because I'm not a fan of unrequited love.

Oh, right.

By the way...

You know how we work two days on, then get one day off, right?

What are you going to do on yours?

I don't know.

Sleeping all day feels like a waste, though.

- Do you want to go downtown? - Yes!

- Really? - Yes.

Let's go downtown together!

- Together? - Yes!

That'll be so much fun!

Okay!

Show me that trick again.

- It was pretty neat, right? - Yes.

Okay. Watch.

- One, two, three, four, - Gosh.

- five, six, seven, eight. - Let me try.

- You want to try? - Yes.

Careful. Come over here.

One...

You bend over like this, and...

(Cheongah Bus)

Read yours.

Open wide.

You eat it.

Here it is. I spotted this place the other day.

They take song requests, and they have live music sometimes.

Welcome to Vivaldi.

- Hi. - Hi.

Please, sit wherever you'd like.

How about here?

What was that? High-five me.

- High-five. - Yes!

I'm off now.

- Go on, then! - See you later!

- Did you ask? - Yes.

They're playing our song!

So, where should we go today?

- Today? - Yes.

Vivaldi.

Vivaldi. Let's go.

(Vivaldi)

- Why isn't it working? - Try again.

I can't.

One more time.

Do you want to try together?

Your dad's really something else.

It's not as if you did anything wrong.

And all just because you like to box.

He goes and gets you a full-time driver? Honestly.

Are you getting whisked away again or are you going straight home?

Probably?

It's no fun at the gym without you. I've got no motivation to work out.

That's separation anxiety you've got there.

You should take this chance to wean yourself off me.

And learn to stand on your own two feet.

No way. I'm not interested.

I still need to go to Ddoddo Snack Bar with you.

There's this girl, a regular, that I've got my eye on.

Hey.

Instead of just moping,

do you want to come up with a little plan?

"A plan?"

You have to come later, okay?

Hey. Hide.

(7th Annual Student Comprehensive Works Exhibition)

All right, take one and go.

All right. Move along.

Good work.

Grab one and go. Keep it moving.

Hey, stop. Ji Hoon!

That was some great acting. Well done?

It was really natural. You can take two.

Well done. Bravo.

Hey. Just to grab some tteokbokki with you...

I just blew through two weeks' worth of bus tokens.

This was all you. Planning, directing, and acting.

I told you I wasn't that into it, remember?

Come on.

But I'm telling you, that girl at Ddoddo Snack Bar is beautiful.

I just wanted to show you what she looks like...

- Look at him. He's so handsome. - Oh, my gosh.

Did you see that?

Did you see how she was looking at her?

I saw.

This Prince Charming. What am I supposed to do with you?

This guy is rich, smart, and popular.

Hey. Don't even be a top student, too.

If you're a good student, you'll be insufferable.

I'm not hanging out with you then.

- Careful coming down. - Okay.

Gosh. It's been forever since we had a day off.

Seriously.

The weather is incredible, isn't it?

It's great!

(Dispatch Status Board)

(Recruiting Applicants for Night School)

What are you doing? Hurry up. We'll be late for the movie.

Right. I'm coming.

(Cheongah Bus)

What's the movie called again?

You'll see.

A movie that builds character.

By the way, are you sure you don't need to check in at home?

It's been a while since you last went.

No, I'm good.

Stop right there!

- Stop, you punk! - Would you stop if you were me?

Darn it.

Get over here.

I honestly don't know her. I've never seen her before.

Then why'd you bolt?

You ran because you're guilty, didn't you? You little punk.

No, it's just...

The vibe just felt like I should probably run first.

Take another look. Okay?

Her name is Seo Jong Yeon.

We're asking because someone saw her on your turf, you punk.

You really don't know her?

I have a knack for remembering faces of every woman I've seen, but...

I'm telling you, I've never seen this one before.

Darn it.

Well...

What are we going to do about these?

- We've only got a few left. Gosh. - Goodness.

Han Jae Pil!

It's even nicer running into you out here.

I can't say the feeling is mutual.

I'm so scared.

How come you haven't been at the gym lately?

After that one match I got you,

is the thrill gone?

Is boxing beneath you now?

But seeing the state you're in,

I have a feeling I'll be benefiting from your mess-ups again soon.

What did you say, you punk?

I would've been the one to fight if it weren't for you.

Actually,

I wouldn't have even busted my ankle in the first place.

It's all your fault, isn't it?

Deok Gu, what's gotten into you?

Stay out of this, you little punk!

Stop it.

Hey!

Jae Pil!

What is this?

What's all this? What do you kids think you're doing?

Run for it!

- Stop right there! - Hey! Get back here!

Get back here.

- Hey! - Darn it.

- Hey! - Hey.

(Madame Aema)

So this...

This is supposed to be so important to us?

Of course.

It'll do us a world of good.

Look. We're not minors. What's the big deal if we see it?

Let's just march in there with our heads held high.

Let's go.

- Get back here! - Hey. Stop right there!

Freeze!

- Hey! - Hey. Get back here!

Get back here.

- Get back here. - Hey!

- Jong Hee. - Yes?

I'm just going to run to the bathroom.

- Go ahead. - I'll go on inside.

(The viewing area is to the right.)

Back then,

there was a thirst inside us that we couldn't bear unless we ran.

Darn it.

Not even knowing what it was we wanted,

but we couldn't bring ourselves to stop.

It was like driving with no brakes.

And at the end of that road,

I met you.

And that is how this story begins.

(A Hundred Memories)

So did you end up meeting Giant or not?

I'm going to forget all about Giant.

And I'm going to apply for that instead.

Apparently, you need a diploma to be in the Miss Korea pageant.

Gosh. Back to school.

School.

Hey. I'm planning a killer event.

Let's go on a 4-on-4 group date.

A group date? Forget it.

- What? - Aren't you a pretty little thing?

- Don't touch me! - Oh, my gosh.

I've started keeping a diary lately.

"Did something with Yeong Rye."

"It was fun. I was happy."

Words like those weren't really part of my vocabulary.

But thanks to you, life's gotten a little more fun.

Manager, can't you make just one exception?
