[August 1988]

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

I told you, that's not it.

Why don't you know that? Ooh, bam, bam bam, bam!

[Name: Jang Mi Ok Nickname: Maggie Cheung]

[Name: Wang Ja Hyun Nickname: Jang Jo Hyun]

Awesome!

Sung Deok Sun.

If you keep getting it wrong, it will cause problems.

Hey. We have two whole months left. Worry about yourselves.

Even if you get everything else wrong you really have to get this right.

Watch one more time.

Why don't you know that? Ooh, bam, bam bam, bam!

Miss, three ramyuns, please!

Why are you here? You didn't go to picket girl practice?

What about you guys? What brings you guys all the way here?

Hey. Our school is closer than yours.

- Jung Hwan, I'm ordering ddukbokki, too. - Okay.

Miss! Three servings of ddukbokki too, please!

Jung Hwan, we're getting some too, then.

- Hey! - That means it's okay.

Miss, give us some more ddukbokki, too!

Hey, Duk Seon, can you pass me the water?

Sure.

I guess you don't have picket girl practice today.

You pretty much live at the stadium.

I have to go after eating. There's late practice today.

Hey, Special Unit.

Shut it. Who are you calling Special Unit?

Even so, she turned right around, didn't she?

Did you get a lot of practice in?

I heard that you guys were doing that song by Sobangcha.

Yeah. When are you going to manage to get that done?

I'm sure you're already so busy with picket girl practice.

- The ramyun's done! - Okay!

Duk Seon. Do you want some ramyun? Want one?

- Hey! - I'm not eating it! Damn.

Duk Seon, we'll be heading out first. Jung Hwan covered everything.

- Just how much did she freaking eat? - Hey, hey.

Bye.

You're not eating? It's free, though.

He's the Student Council President at Ssangmun High, right?

Who, Sun Woo? The tall one? Why?

- What are you going to do? - What?

It seems like he likes you.

He was only looking at you from the moment he walked in.

I know, right? I saw it, too.

Why did he ask you to pass the water?

He could have just asked the cook for it.

Also. Did you see his worried expression when you said you had to practice?

- I totally saw it. Hey. - I really saw it.

And the last piece of decisive evidence...

"Do you want ramyun?"

Congrats, Duk Seon. You... just got yourself a boyfriend.

I guess I've fallen in love...

I guess I've fallen in love!

Duk Seon!

Sung Duk Seon!

What is it?

Can you lend me some white-out? You know, correction fluid.

White-out? I don't have any.

Way to go. What kind of student doesn't even have white-out?

Hello.

Sun Woo, don't hang out with her. You'll become stupid, too.

- Shut it! - What did you say?

Hey, whatever. It's fine. I'll just ask Jung Hwan. Bye.

- Goodbye. - Okay... bye.

Eat up.

Is this the second Korean War or something?

Why is it just "Potatoville" over here?

Are we on emergency rations or something?

You're really going to be like this?

You bought an entire box of potatoes yesterday.

Because you felt bad for that guy's grandmother.

When did I ever? Why, I ought to...

Putting on quite a show, aren't you?

Your dad is great at acting, right?

Why do you keep using all the money?

I want to actually have some money left over, for once! Stop using it all!

Not in front of the kids!

Also, do you know just how good potatoes are for the body? Huh?

I bought it for our kids' health, but you didn't even realize that?

Your hands are so strong for no good reason.

By the way, Duk Seon. Isn't it time for the Sports News? Turn on NBC.

- It's not time for the Sports News yet. - Oh... really?

I really like that guy, Kang Sun Ho.

He looks like an actor and looks so tall!

Geez, you... All he does is sit in that chair and blabber!

How do you know if he's tall or not?

You all have wire-taps inside your stomachs, everyone!

You think that's cool?

You all have wiretaps inside your stomachs, everyone!

I live at 136-35...

What the heck... it keeps flickering back and forth, right?

What's going on?

Wow, that's weird.

Duk Seon!

Sung Duk Seon!

He's going to break down the door at that rate. Sun Woo!

Sun Woo! Come in and have dinner with us!

Duk Seon, go and get some rice for Sun Woo.

My... she was just there a second ago. Where did she go?

- Wow... look at his face. - He's totally shocked. Oh dear.

Wow... it's the first time I've seen a live broadcast interrupted like that.

I guess all sorts of things happen in this world.

Hello.

Oh, hi, Sun Woo! Come in and have something to eat.

Yeah. Have something.

No, it's okay. I'm having ramyun with the others at Taek's...

Jesus... you shocked me more than the interruption on TV...

What the... where are you going at this hour, with your face like that?

To go eat ramyun.

Let's go, Sun Woo.

Summer, 1988.

Sung Duk Seon's first experience with love.

In other words, her first love had just begun!

[Episode 3: The Rich are Innocent, and the Poor are Guilty]

All of Seoul has been riddled with fear and uncertainty

since the convicts escaped.

[October, 1988]

Last August, convict Ji Kang Won and three others

escaped from a prison transfer bus en route to another jail.

There have been sightings of him in Anamdong and Haengdamdong.

the police are still investigating their location

as they deliberate on what to do.

Madam, I'm scared. What if they come to our neighborhood?

Geez, don't worry. What's there to steal in this neighborhood, anyway?

There are so many expensive things in her house!

A record player, a microwave, and a rice cooker!

You also have about 500 coal briquettes, don't you?

A thief will never break into our house.

How come?

- There already is one. - What?

Not properly fulfilling one's duties is what thieves do, isn't it?

Geez... how nice. This would be great.

You sure are hard to satisfy.

Jung Bong's father is a man of integrity.

There's not a lot of guys like him!

You keep him, then.

- Why? You're going to give him away? - Yeah.

If someone takes my husband, I'll throw in this house to sweeten the deal.

Me, me, me! I'll do it! I'll give marriage another go!

- Oh my. - What is it?

Your ex-husband came home so early.

Mi Ran.

Mi.

Ran.

Stop it. Seriously.

Why do you only do that to me?

I told you to stop it, already!

Okay, okay. I won't do it anymore. Geez.

Were you talking about something interesting?

Oh, yeah. She said that you're pretty much a thief.

A thief?

You mean because... I stole her life from making her laugh so hard?

Okay, this thief here will be going.

Oh, everyone.

Have a great day, everyone!

First come, first serve, hon.

I'd rather live alone.

I should only serve one husband after all.

Oh my God... I thought he was a thief for a second!

Bo Ra's father looks like he raided a small supermarket.

You're just getting home, sir?

And just what did you buy so much of today?

What is that? What did you buy this time? You'll see when you come inside.

Have some sweet potatoes.

Why are you in such a rush?

You should hurry.

He has to finish up everything before the kids get home, after all.

I'm sure he's excited.

What did you buy now, huh?

Eh?

They're bracken ferns.

They say that they're not good for a man's sexual stamina, though.

Geez. How good must his stamina be

if he's trying to get rid of his excess stamina? Right?

I told you, let's talk inside.

And what's this, over here?

Wow... she's getting a head start, huh?

Damn it!

I don't know how they can stand to chatter like that 365 days of the year!

I hate seeing them. We have to move or something.

What the hell is all this?

Can't you tell just by looking at it?

They're greens.

I bought just a little on the way home.

You call this "a little?" Huh?

Geez.

You know the paper store?

There's an old woman who sits in front of that and sells greens all day.

And she looks just like my older sister.

She was squatting down there and selling these

and she probably couldn't sell all of these by the end of the day.

So how could I, as a human being, just ignore that?

So... I just bought a couple.

Geez... these didn't even cost that much!

People who are less fortunate should help each other out!

We're not in the situation to be helping other people right now.

Because of your frivolous purchases, I can't even buy things for the kids.

Just look. I have to live wearing holey socks because of you!

Look, look! Take a good, hard, look!

What? I bet it's nice and cool, you'll have more ventilation that way.

Geez! Are you seriously saying that, right now?

Geez, it's always money with you.

With money, you'll never be satisfied whether you have a lot or not!

You wouldn't know, since we've never had money, would you?

- Damn it! - You, really...

Which greens should I prep first? Huh?

Two...

three...

four.

You thought that there was only four, right?

Five.

Are you kidding me, right now?

There's four of us, but you only bought five?

One person gets one each. And you get two.

Honey. Please... let's start living like people now, okay?

Let's use as much as other people and live like other people live.

Okay, Mr. Kim Sung Kyun?

What's wrong with the way we live?

Three years ago, we couldn't even have tangerines!

We used to live on boiled dough because we had no money for rice!

Thinking of how I used to live back then

even buying these feels like something out of a dream.

Again with that past crap!

If you like talking about it so much, why don't you go back to those times?

Geez. You... geez.

Who cares if we have money? You don't have a rich person's mindset.

I'm worried that our kids will take after you!

What are you going to do about Jung Bong?

He takes after you so he's cowardly and miserly.

Do you think he'll actually be able to function in society?

Aren't you even a little bit worried?

He'll change when he goes to college.

He has to study to be able to go to college!

Lately he's been doing nothing but studying in his room!

You want to make a bet?

See? You call that studying?

Are you studying right now?

No, Mother.

There's not much time left until the exams.

Are you not planning to go to college?

President Roosevelt once said

"There's more to be learned from stamps than from school."

And your mother once said this

"I've never seen such a useless piece of shit!"

You motherf**cker!

You took exams for five f**king years in a row... and what?

If you were of sound mind

you would have taken your mother and father into consideration,

at least you should have buckled down in front of your motherf**king desk

and studied your f**king brains out, you immoral f**king dipshit!

All right.

What's so important about school? Continue with what you were doing.

Yes, Mother.

There's a lot of greens, so eat a lot of those.

You bastard... why do you keep pushing the table?

I didn't.

Then would the table grow legs and crawl toward me?

I can't move because it's so close to my stomach!

Dad, can't you buy me one of those?

Everyone in my class has one except me.

Tsk... Your sister has one! Share that!

- Mine broke. Buy me one, too. - I guess I need to buy it then.

Whatever. I wasn't expecting anything from you, anyway.

Have some greens. I bought them.

Hey. You got it wrong again.

No, I didn't! She did!

Crazy bitch.

Sung Duk Seon. I really don't think you have a talent for dancing.

We've been practicing for months and you can't get that one thing right?

- I only got it wrong once. - You get it wrong every day.

How are you going to be able to perform at the overnight trip, at this rate?

- We still have two days. - Just drop out.

Why do you want to do the talent show so badly when you can't even dance?

[Announcement for home: Information About Overnight Trip]

[Talent Show] [First place: MyMy Mini Casette Player]

[Second Place: Gyeongju Bread]

[Third Place: Stationary]

You guys don't need to worry.

I'm going to master it perfectly tonight.

How?

Don't you know that Park Nam Jung lives in my neighborhood?

There's a guy in Ssangmundong we call Park Nam Jung, who dances really well.

You probably saw him at the ddukbokki place last time.

The one who had glasses on.

Oh. That guy.

He got first place once doing a Park Nam Jung dance number.

It was this one.

My dreams, which have been broken into small pieces...

They scatter far, far away into the sky...

Damn it!

I told you, it's a Sobangcha song!

Who dances to Sobangcha songs anymore?

Everyone!

Come on. Stop messing around and do "About Last Night."

That's way too basic. There isn't anyone who can't dance to that!

Hey. Can you guys do it?

Us?

Damn it.

How many months have you been at it, already?

I bet my dog would dance better than you if it'd been practicing for three months.

Hey. We got first place with this dance last year.

He does this dance better than Dong Young does.

Geez... stop it. It's not like that's anything impressive.

Go ahead and dance to it. I'll watch.

Yeah. Let's see how well you can do it.

If you shut him up, I'll dance.

Don't you say a word! Got it?

I can't even laugh?

No. Just go to sleep.

Satisfied? Dance now. I'll watch.

No!

Geez. So annoying.

Good! Keep going!

Okay, let's go.

One, two, three, four. Five, six, seven... hey. No.

What are you doing?

Geez...

Am I that bad? I didn't get any of it down?

Not a single move!

Geez! You got everything wrong!

Shut it!

Sun Woo, was it weird? Did I get a lot wrong?

Yeah. I don't think dancing is your thing.

It's not like she's good at anything else.

Duk Seon.

We'll save money and just buy you a MyMy.

No... ask Taek to buy you one. I feel like I'm going to die.

No, Let's open the door. It's hot.

Oh... my God. You scared me.

You're home and you're still playing Baduk?

Geez.

Taek! You should have said something if you came home!

I've been craving ramyun since a while ago.

Taek! Five ramyuns!

Hey, hey, hey! I'll make it!

Anyway, you don't know how to make it.

Hey, Il Hwa! Dong Il's here! You know, your husband!

What the hell is that ruckus all about?

You went and bought something again.

Your hubby, Dong Il is here.

What the hell did you buy this time?

Ta-da!

[Prenatal Baby Music]

There are so many unfortunate people living in this world.

Remember, the person who got us insurance last summer?

You know, Dang Soo's cousin's daughter's hometown friend.

She lost her husband at such a young age

and is raising a baby boy that's about Jin Joo's age

and is suffering so much.

After hearing that, I started to cry.

What is that?

Can't you tell by looking at it? Pre... natal... you know...

Why? You want to have another kid even though we're already having a hard time?

No... if she just sold one of these she'd be able to have dinner, at least.

How could I ignore her, hearing that?

And on top of that, she's Dang Soo's cousin's daughter's hometown friend!

- It's not like she's a stranger! - She is a stranger!

Come to your damn senses, already! I can't live like this anymore!

Seoul is in shock after hearing the news of the 12 convicts

who were to receive sentences in the countryside, but fled.

Citizens are troubled by the fact that they are on the run

and that they may commit more crimes.

But to day, the authorities apprehended Kim Dong Yeon, who had escaped.

Geez. What a world we live in...

I'm going to rip that up!

It's still wearable!

It doesn't have any holes or anything.

Who wears tanktops until they get holes nowadays?

Throw that away immediately!

Do you know what the scariest thing in the world is?

The fact that someone who has nothing is trying to help others.

We're not well off enough to be helping others!

Geez... you're always like this about money!

- Have you gone mad? - Oh my God.

Am I the one who is weird in this situation?

Ask anyone.

Is the guy who has nothing who gives all he has to other people the normal one

or is the one who's trying to feed and raise her kids?

What's wrong with living in this basement room, anyway?

What did you say?

It's cold in the summer and warm in the winter, so it's great!

Oh! Fine!

If you're nice and cool, live like this forever yourself.

I can't live like this anymore!

Also... do you even know about Duk Seon's overnight trip?

How are we going to pay for that with no money, huh?

We have to give her 20,000 won for that

but we only have 30,000 left for the rest of this month!

What the hell are you going to do about this? Huh? Tell me!

Geez... keep it short, already!

Where the hell are you going?

Where else?

To borrow money from Dang Soo's cousin's daughter's hometown friend!

Oh, good...

Hey.

You guys are going on an overnight trip tomorrow?

You remembered that?

I got this from your bag, Sun Woo.

We didn't have anything to put the pot on.

That's fine.

Gyeongju, huh?

Your school, too?

Yeah. We're going to Gyeongju, too.

You're kind of jealous, right? That's why I told you not to quit school.

Who cares about quarterfinals?

Geez.

Jung Hwan.

Taek made 200 million won last year.

Even so, he'd probably want to come to Gyeongju.

You've never been there, right?

Yeah.

Taek. Where's your match tomorrow, again?

Tokyo.

Madam! I brought some potatoes. You're not asleep yet, right?

Oh, come on in!

Prenatal music tapes? Wow.

Geez. Who understands how I feel right now?

Because of that, we had a huge fight.

Even thought he has no money, he's the neighborhood philanthropist.

What can you do about the fact that he's a good person?

I guess he felt really bad.

But he doesn't feel bad for his own kids? Geez. So pathetic.

Even so, you're better off than me.

My husband still can't overcome the mentality he had when he was poor.

Even if we have money, we can't use any.

It can't be helped.

He's the one who was the worst off among any of us in the neighborhood long ago.

It's not like that he could forget about living in poverty overnight.

I mean, if he'd already lived like a poor man once

he should learn how to spend money now.

I'm so embarrassed by what other people might think.

I'm sure he'll change, little by little.

He acquired that wealth overnight

so you can't expect him to change that quickly.

Even so, you're the one I'm most jealous of.

Wow... I wonder if I'll ever get to live without worrying about money.

But, at any rate... what brings you here so late?

Oh, um... that is... it's, um... um...

What is it?

We're close enough that you should feel comfortable asking me about anything.

Geez... I'm always indebted to you...

Madam. Um... can I...

It's because of the money you borrowed before, right?

Geez. It's fine! Give it to me next time.

You can pay me back slowly.

Money is no object for me, you know.

Geez. No need to worry so much.

What are you doing?

Oh... nothing. Nothing.

Is that money?

It's for school. Money that was collected at school.

You sure collected a lot from your class.

You guys really must have more than 70 kids in your class, huh?

Yeah.

Hey, be careful with that.

I heard about another kid who got school funds stolen from him.

Oh... really? Yeah, I'll be careful.

Go ahead and sleep, Duk Seon.

- I want to get some air. - Okay.

What?

Your big sister is going on an overnight trip tomorrow!

["How the Steel was Tempered" by Nikolai Ostrovsky]

Stop messing around and go to sleep.

Go ahead and sleep.

I'll give you five minutes until I turn off the lights.

Five minutes, my ass.

I don't know what I'll do after the five minute mark.

Do you know how the steel was tempered?

I'm not talking about what happened in the book. I'm talking about in real life.

You won't learn until you have the shit beaten out of you, will you?

What the hell are you talking about?

Hey.

I told you to stop messing around and to go to sleep, right?

Damn!

Stop messing around!

Mom!

Geez!

Mom! Mom!

Geez... so noisy.

Bo Ra's mother!

Bo Ra's mother, are you sleeping?

Can you come out for a second?

Madam.

What brings you here so late?

My husband's family sent me some corn.

Geez... really?

I'll bet they're delicious.

I'll be going now. Go to sleep.

Okay. Bye, Madam.

Duk Seon is going on the overnight trip tomorrow, too, right?

Supplement her allowance with this. Jung Bong's Mom

Damn it...

Here.

Promise me.

You promised. That you won't lose it, no matter what.

If you do lose it, by any chance...

I'll disown you. I might even kill you.

If you flounce around and lose it just watch.

I'll kill you with my bare hands.

I won't lose it, no matter what.

What about film? Dad, give me some film.

I have a bad feeling about this...

I got you a pack of 36, so...

so don't you get trigger happy, you hear?

I won't! Don't worry!

Oh...

Carefully. Carefully. Like this.

Does this have any film inside?

Should I check to see if it really works?

Hey!

Do you have a death wish?

I'm off!

Geez... she's so happy.

Of course she is. It's her first overnight trip.

I'm sure that, on a day like this

she'd be smiling even if she was getting beat up by her older sister.

I'm really off now! Look forward to your souvenirs!

Okay. Hey! Duk Seon! Don't forget the kimbap!

Oh, yeah.

[Something Special Blended Scotch Whiskey]

Jin Joo. Your older brother will be going now, okay?

- I'm off! - Have a safe trip!

Let's eat.

Yes.

[Announcement Regarding Overnight Trip]

- Hey, Duk Seon! - Yeah?

Give me your camera. We have to take a photo before we get on the bus.

- Okay. - Wow... how nice.

- It's my first time in Jeollado. - This is Kyungsangdo.

Is that really that important?

What are you looking for?

Are you looking for your camera?

No way.

I want to go back!

[Pusan]

Go buy yourself a new jacket.

This is a new one, though.

I could probably wear this for ten more years.

Do you want to see me at divorce court later, honey?

Don't buy a bunch of cheap ones.

Just buy one expensive, good-quality one from a brand-name company.

Got it?

Duk Seon. It's okay. These things happen.

That's our family treasure! My mom might kill me!

Teacher... can I just go home now?

I don't think I'll be able to have fun because I'm so scared!

Should I call your mother for you?

Really?

This is Sung Duk Seon's home, correct?

Hello, Ma'am!

I'm Duk Seon's homeroom teacher.

Yes.

Ma'am... um...

Duk Seon left the camera on the train.

What do we do?

Ma'am?

Ma'am...

Ma'am?

Yes. She's crying a lot.

An overnight trip is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

No... I can't make it one filled with horror and despair for her.

That would really be too much.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'll put Duk Seon on the line.

Yes.

Mom...

Duk Seon. Oh... it's fine. Just have a fun trip.

Really? Really, Mom?

Geez... of course! Really.

Don't worry about the camera, and have a fun time with your friends.

Mom!

Oh, my...

[Prenatal Baby Music]

Hey... maybe we should have picked a Kim Hyun Chul song

instead of a Sobangcha song?

I think she's going to get first place.

You're the only one we need to worry about!

You didn't forget the moves, right?

Hey, I could do this in my sleep.

Why don't you know that? Ooh, bam, bam bam, bam!

But... what if we still can't get first place?

I feel like you'd cry if you didn't win the MyMy.

Hey. As long as you guy don't break your arms or something, we'll win for sure.

Want to bet on it?

Hello?

Oh... oh, hello, Teacher! What is it...

Did... No Eul cause some sort of trouble?

It's nothing major, but he was caught running a "One-day business."

What? A "One-day business?" What do you mean?

It's something that's popular among kids nowadays.

They sell drinks and have meetings.

Things like that. Maybe he did it to go on a trip with his girlfriend.

First, one of his parents will have to come into school tomorrow.

Ah... yes, of course. I understand, Teacher. I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry.

Geez.

[Prenatal Baby Music]

"Hymn 570. The Lord is a Shepherd Who Raises Me."

[Kim Yu Shin Youth Hostel]

Why were you taking so long?

Hurry up so we can practice together!

What the hell are you eating? Hurry up, already! All right?

Geez...

- Which school are they from? - Awesome.

It's Ssangmun High. They're known to go all out.

I guess their talent show is today.

Why did they start so early?

Is a another school's talent show really that important right now?

Our school's talent show is tomorrow!

When are we going to practice, already?

Hey, where are you going?

To the Boys' place.

- Are you out of your minds? - We're off!

Hey!

- Hey! - We're off!

- Hey! - Bye!

Oh, MyMy.

The thing that our Duk Seon likes more than anything is this MyMy.

Honey. Go to No Eul's school tomorrow.

Uh... what's that about, now?

No Eul got into trouble running a one day cafe or something.

Apparently, he was trying to save money to go on a trip with his girlfriend.

Geez... I'm so humiliated that I can't bear to go.

So... you go to his school tomorrow.

Okay. I'll go. I'll go, already.

Also, you know, boys will be boys. Things like that can happen.

It's not like he beat someone up or stole money from people.

Geez... why are you so worried about such small matters?

I don't get it.

Granny, give me all your greens today, too.

And go home quickly. Quickly... go home.

Did you really buy this?

Of course I did... you think I stole it, or something?

How is it? Does it look good?

They said that this color was the most popular.

Yeah. It's great. You look like a brand new person.

How much did you pay for this? It looks really expensive.

150,000 won.

It was originally 200,000 won, but they gave me a 50,000 won discount.

It turns our that they were my friend from a while back!

Really? Who?

I'll tell you. You know them. Just a second. Let me take off this coat.

I guess it's because it's from a brand name, but it's really warm!

I guess expensive clothes are really...

Huh?

What...

Aha!

I guess, with this, you're supposed to... take it off like this!

What friend? Tell me their name.

It wasn't my friend. It was someone I met today.

I told you, tell me their name already!

How could a friend scam their friend like this?

Are you an idiot? Are you a hobo?

How much of an idiot did he think you were to sell you a dud?

Look at this here.

Why does the horse have six legs?

And what's this trident he's holding? Huh?

It doesn't look like it's even be worth 10,000 won!

But they charged 150,000 won for this?

And for a fake, no less?

Geez.

This is that friend's way of looking down on you!

It really wasn't a friend. I made a mistake.

Are you taking their side because it's your friend?

Who's this damned friend?

I told you, they're not my friend.

Who is it? You said that I know them!

Why can't you tell me?

Damn it!

That six legged... damn it!

Duk Seon.

The two of us will save money and buy you a MyMy.

If I tell my dad, he'll buy you one.

Shut it.

They said you can be discharged now.

Mi Ok. You can walk, right?

Yes.

You two... only stay at the hostel from now on, all right?

You two are forbidden from leaving.

What about the talent show, Teacher?

They have to compete in the talent show with me tomorrow!

Talent show, my ass.

In this state?

I heard you guys were doing Sobangcha (Firetruck)?

You want to ride an ambulance one more time, instead?

No, Teacher! I really have to compete!

So I'm saying, how are they going to compete like this?

At any rate, I won't un-register you so give it your all on your own, Duk Seon.

- All I have to do is be on stage, right? - Why?

Are you going to sing a song, or something?

Okay. One, two, three!

[Soon Chun High School]

[Gwangju Speer Girls' High School]

[Baemyung High School Overnight Trip]

[Ssangmun High School]

Hey, where are you going?

Sun Woo. Come over here for a second.

Yes.

Hey, Kim Jung Hwan!

Hey, Kim Jung Hwan!

Hey!

What is that?

Hold onto this for us. They're checking our bags soon.

Are you out of your mind?

At 12:00 a.m. come to the steel gates... all right?

If you don't come, you're dead, and if you open that, you're dead.

And if you lose it, you're definitely dead.

Hey! Kim Jung Hwan!

Jung Hwan! Hey!

What are you doing?

Dong Ryong! I'm so glad to see you!

Wow...

Just this once.... save me this once. Please?

Even so... how could I compete in your school's talent show?

I heard that kids from your school officially registered last year

for our talent show and they were allowed to perform!

They even got second place and won Gyeongju Bread!

Even so, no.

Dong Ryong! Bring the rest of them. Please?

Please? I need the MyMy!

I said I can't. I'm allergic to girls.

Among my friends, there's a girl we call Wang Jo Hyun.

Her real name is Wang Ja Hyun, but she looks just like Joey Wang.

So we call her Joey Wang.

There's one more. We call her Maggie Cheung.

[Get well soon!]

[Get well soon! From the lovely Joey Wang.]

How am I going to get that bastard over there, though?

Who, Sun Woo?

He's the Student Council President, so he won't want to cause any trouble.

He'll come. Sun Woo will come.

How do you know?

Tell him that I requested it. Throw me under the bus.

What are you talking about?

- And tell Jung Hwan just one thing. - What?

- "Something Special." - What?

See you later. 9:00 p.m. at the metal gates in front of the Kim Yu Shin Hostel!

All right.

Next up is...

"Tonight, Her Eyes are Scarier."

Ssangmun Girls' High's very own Choi Jin Ah!

I guess they're not coming.

Duk Seon, just give it up.

If it were me, I'd be too embarrassed to come, too.

They're here.

Over there.

Hey, hey, come back here. Hey!

The news casts a negative light on it

but honestly, there aren't any kids who don't run "One-day cafes" nowadays.

We ask the parents to come in as a formality

but honestly, you don't need to worry.

Even so, I'm truly sorry.

I'm going to get No Eul and really teach him a lesson.

No, no. Don't do that, sir.

No Eul is a good kid. And he does well academically..

Just please direct him well so that this doesn't happen again.

Oh, also...

since it's the rules, he'll be cleaning bathrooms for the next 10 days.

Please don't be too upset about that.

Oh, geez. Merely that won't suffice.

Make him clean up after everyone's poop or something.

Um... it's about time for No Eul to be finished with cleaning.

Please go home with him, sir.

- Oh, Teacher... I'm so sorry. - No, it's fine.

- I'm so sorry. - It's fine, really.

Dad!

Dad, I'm sorry. I won't do it again.

Okay? I promise.

Please let me off the hook this once.

You idiot!

Boys will be boys! Things happen!

What are you apologizing for?

It's fine! Relax your shoulders! My darling child.

Here. I caught a few goldfish for my good son to eat.

I already got all the bones out.

- Dad. - No, it's okay.

Anyway... about those kids who run the "One-day cafe" with you...

Are you guys really close?

Sung No Eul!

Yeah. I've been friends with them since middle school.

I'm sure you know them too.

Tae Joo and Hong.

- Oh yeah. - No Eul!

Wow... you're still hanging out with them?

Yeah. We're in different classes but we see each other every day.

We eat lunch together, too. And play soccer together.

And sometimes study together, too.

Oh yeah. Your mother must be waiting. Let's go.

- Okay. - Hey!

Hey, Basement Room!

Basement Room!

Wait!

- Hello. - Hello.

- Come over here. - What the hell?

Dad. Just a moment.

- What are you eating? - Want one?

My dad bought these goldfish breads.

You're supposed to eat these from the tail.

All right... this is the last act for tonight.

I'll read exactly as it says on this.

Contestant Number 10!

From Ssangmun High School, "About Last Night" by Sobangcha!

Sobangcha! Sobangcha!

Last night, I didn't like you.

Last night, I grew to hate you.

As I stared at the spinning lights

I faced heartache alone.

Why didn't my friends see how miserable I looked...

when I held your hand and danced with you?

The party last night was so lonely.

Even if I were to offer the whole world to you

nothing would change.

Why don't you know that?

Last night, I didn't like you.

Last night, I grew to hate you.

As I waited for the unending music to end

I was depressed by myself.

Sobangcha! Sobangcha!

Hey, we're leaving now.

Okay. Thanks, Sun Woo!

You were the best! You're really the best.

You're that happy?

You're probably going to get it taken by Bo Ra anyway.

Are you crazy? Don't you dare tell anyone.

Duk Seon.

We have something to discuss, right?

Guys, say hi. These are my friends.

- Hello. - Hello.

This is Jang Mi Ok, who we call Maggie Cheung.

Yes... hello.

And this is Wang Ja Hyun, who we call Joey Wang.

Hello.

Hello.

What's your nickname then, Duk Seon?

Me?

Lee Mi Yeon.

- Oh. - Want to be slapped?

How could you defile the name of Lee Mi Yeon like that?

You saw each other at the ddukbokki place, right?

It's okay to use informal speech. We're all the same age.

Shall we, then?

Hey. You were really great at dancing.

The best!

Uh... no... I can't dance, ma'am.

What are you talking about? It's okay, use informal speech.

You're "Park Nam Jung," right?

Hey.

You dance a lot better than Park Nam Jung.

Oh, geez... you've made a mistake. I apologize.

I think it's time we went. Hey guys, let's go.

Duk Seon. You know that we have something to discuss later, right?

- Huh? - Then... we must go. Guys, let's go.

Hey, Duk Seon, come here for a second.

- Hey, talk on the way. - Me?

How the hell is she Joey Wang?

Hey, but... we're really late so we're probably going to get caught.

And what was with so-called "Maggie Cheung?"

Whatever!

- Hurry up and hand it over. - What?

- My liquor! - Oh... yeah.

Hey.

The liquor... I definitely had it this afternoon...

I did have it until then...

See you later.

At the gates in front of the Kim Yu Shin Hostel!

Huh?

I think they're getting on the bus.

Oh no! I'm off!

Hey, wait up!

Dammit!

I was the crazy bastard for leaving it with you!

It's the dean! Run!

Huh? Isn't that Dong Ryong's dad?

Teacher!

Dong Ryong's father!

Are you out of your damn mind?

Stop right there, bastards! You're not stopping?

Stop right there, or I'll kill you!

You're dead, you bastards!

You bastards... hey!

You bastards!

Hey!

Hey!

Good going, bastards! You're in for a hefty punishment!

That's what you get! Stay right there!

Hey, are you okay? Huh?

Damn... how is he so fast?

Sun Woo.

Do you have a blunt object?

Why?

Can you knock me out?

- Hey, breathe a bit quieter! - Hush!

Let's hurry it up and go. Go... It hurts, right?

Let's go, you bastard.

- You bastard... - I'm sorry!

Where's that last one?

He should be here somewhere...

Jung Hwan.

Where did you go?

This bastard...

Dad!

Dad. Mom says to hurry up and come home. Let's go.

Okay?

Okay. Just finish that, and come. Okay? I'll be waiting until you come home!

Take this and go home first.

I'm sorry.

You didn't get it exchanged today, either?

You better get this exchanged tomorrow. Got it, honey?

I bought it from a friend, so how could I ask them to exchange it?

I'll just wear it.

Friend? Friend, my ass. How could you call that bastard a friend?

What kind of friend does that?

Why are all your friends like that?

Geez.

After they heard we became better off, they all came asking for money.

And when we didn't even have a single briquette, they didn't even call.

But, um... what does he do nowadays?

You know, when Jung Bong was about this big

and he caught a cold but we had no money for medicine

so we were borrowing money left and right...

you know, your friend from your hometown.

The one who came to Seoul with you.

Geez.

He came by suddenly, and... did he have soju with you then?

Geez.

I thought that he really had no common sense.

A guest in a dilapidated home?

That's what I thought, but...

he gave me 50,000 won secretly on the way out

telling me to buy something delicious for the kids.

Even though he was in dire straits, too.

Back then, with 50,000 won... geez.

Back then, that friend of yours seemed like God himself.

Our savior.

Have more of those friends.

Instead of having bad friends who hurt you.

Okay?

Give him a call!

That's him.

He's... the one.

No thanks.

Ma'am. Give it here.

Today's the last time.

I can't help you out anymore.

Yes, yes. Go home.

It was a shocking Sunday morning.

The four convicts who escaped were caught at a home of a hostage.

Unfortunately, this hostage situation ended in bloodshed.

The escapees had final words to say

"The rich are innocent, and the poor are guilty."

If one has money, one is blameless

and if one has no money, one bears blame.

This incident shows the shortcomings of our society...

Oh dear. Geez. How pitiful.

What's so pitiful about them?

Did they just figure that out?

Mom! Dad! I'm back!

Ta-da! A present!

You little... where did I put the switch?

How dare you lose that? You know how expensive it was?

Hey!

I'm sorry, Mom! Forgive me!

Just where do you keep your brain?

How could you be so absentminded?

I'm sorry!

Stop right there!

Mom, I thought you said it was okay! Why are you so mad?

Then, what was I supposed to say in front of your teacher?

I'm going to beat you to death!

Stop hiding behind him! Jung Hwan, move!

Move!

Can't you just buy another one?

Ma'am, please calm down.

Jung Hwan, move. I'm going to beat her to death today.

- Move! - Mom!

I'm so sorry! I won't do that again!

Okay?

"Again," my ass! Get over here!

Damn it!

I can't live like this.

Who did she take after to be like that?

Geez... you know how expensive that was?

My treasure... oh, my treasure.

At this rate, you'll kill her over it.

We can just buy a new camera.

You beat her that much just because she lost that?

This is all your fault.

If only you earned a lot of money...

do you think I would have beat her like that, then?

Even if you hadn't become riddled with debt

we'd be living like the folks upstairs.

If only I had money, I could've been such a better mom for the kids.

This is all because we don't have any money!

This is all your fault!

Where are you going?

To go earn some money.

I thought you wanted to live like the folks upstairs.

So I'm going to acquire me some sudden wealth, too.

Don't buy it! It's a waste of money!

You think just anyone has that kind of luck?

Damn it...

Geez!

[May 1985, Three Years Ago]

Ooh, it's a new side dish!

Looks yummy. Wow, there's even tofu in there!

Is today a special day?

Hurry up and eat while I'm still saying it nicely.

Yes, Mother.

Jung Bong.

What are you collecting lately?

I'm sure everyone remembers.

Yeah?

In 1981, on September 30...

Some great news reached us from a small city in Germany called Baden Baden.

The one who won the bid for the 1988 Olympics was...

Seoul!

He's interested in collecting lottery tickets nowadays.

The Olympic lottery tickets.

Mother, I only buy one at a time.

It's only 500 won for one...

You think 500 won is a small amount?

You can buy three charcoal briquettes with that!

They're doing it now.

Let's see who will get first place.

I'll only watch this until the end, Mother...

Okay, we'll draw the numbers now. Let's go!

From Group One to Group Five... okay.

[First Place Winner Drawing]

The numbers we'll be drawing for is for Group Four.

Group Four. Next.

Ten. So, one and zero.

Next, we have... two.

So far, we have 102. What will be next?

Next up is three.

Okay. Now, for the last two numbers.

The next number is six.

Now, the last number.

The last number...

No way will it be three...

is three!

[Congratulations]

[Group Four 102363]

Congratulations! Group 4, 102363.

Group 4, 102363.

You've won the grand prize.

My mother wanted you to have some rice cakes.

Dong Ryong.

We're moving.

Jung Bong!

Subtitles by DramaFever

I'm going to college.

Tutor me, too.

Can you even memorize it?

Of course I can! What do you take me for?

My eternal love, who kissed my heart and shook it up!

Geez, I can't even get a word out!

What bullshit.

Every time I try to say something, you're always trying to shut me up.

Hurry and come here. Let's eat together.

Would you like some juice?

You have it.

Father.

[All I can give you is candy...]

You can just eat that grain of rice stuck to your face.

You idiot.

Geez. Bye.

Hey, Dong Ryong.

Why do you think I'm acting this way?

What am I supposed to do?

What are you doing?

Were you waiting for me?
