Hey, didn't you notice that we were singing?

I only have a minute left. What should I sing?

Today was my day for singing.

- Time is running out! - Why didn't you pick a song earlier?

She never uses her head. It's just for decoration.

Don't you dare sing a loud English song!

Sing a song where I can understand the lyrics!

- I like old songs. - Same.

Really? Shall I pick an old song?

I'd like that!

You call this is an old song?

It is to me! It came out fifteen years ago!

I feel nervous when I hear these kinds of songs.

I think I can sing along! This is the song about buying a ring, right?

Right! How did you know?

My dad's old song is "C'est Si Bon." Mine old song is...

"Candy" by H.O.T.

Take me to the parking lot in Hongdae, please.

We film tomorrow... How can you say no all of a sudden?

I'll clean up the place nicely. Yes, Dad.

I can call you Dad, can't I?

Of course I'm concerned as well.

You'll only have to sleep on the floor tomorrow.

I've been working as a screenwriter for ten years.

I thought I'd be writing actual scripts, but the reality is all but flattering.

Of course, I write sometimes too.

I have to ask for items like pots.

If this is considered writing too, then I'm a great, prolific screenwriter.

Today, I have to put my flattery skills to use again.

Yes, Mother...

I know you've been worried.

Of course, of course.

Don't worry! I won't go near the kitchen. Trust me!

I didn't tell Father... but I have gift cards for you.

I wish I could do more for you...

It's not that I hate my job...

but it's sometimes annoying.

Whenever I feel bad, little things can cheer me up.

Even just one song.

Even though I'm 33, my memories of the 90s

are too splendid for me to lament getting old.

If my body can't go back, I'll try to let my spirit go back instead.

I'm going back to the 90s right now.

Kwang An High School Class of 1997 Alumni Reunion

Today, we have an alumni meeting for the class of 1997.

Hey, guys!

- Welcome! - Glad you came!

Hello, stranger! Long time no see!

Have you ordered chicken? It's so good here!

Shi Won! You gained weight!

No, I didn't! What about you? Shouldn't you get plastic surgery?

This is Jang Dan Ji, who was famous in Busan

for liking Moon Hee Jun.

Do you still like Tony?

Will you do something about your hair?

If you work as a screenwriter, do you get to see Hee Jun?

Throughout our high school years, she lived as a Hee Jun fan

while I was called "Tony's wife."

- Where's Yoo Jung? - She's on her way.

Oh, she's here.

- Hey! - Hi! It's been a while!

Shi Won, I can see you gained some weight.

Can't you do something about your hair? So old-fashioned!

So you still like Hee Jun?

Mo Yoo Jung, my best friend in middle and high school.

She has been famous for her cuteness.

But she has been more famous for another characteristic.

I'm obsessed with Infinite these days!

I think I need a tranquilizer.

Three months ago it was Kim Soo Hyun. Last month it was Park Yoo Chun.

Now it's new idol group Infinite.

She falls in love easily and changes her favorite idol often.

Hey, the guys are here.

Here they are.

My best friends.

My world as a student.

The romantic Kang Joon Hee.

The talkative Bang Sung Jae.

The charismatic Do Hak Chan.

The abrasive Yoon Yoon Jae.

Hey! We missed you!

You look good!

God, I'm so tired!

I've never seen so many people at a funeral!

But the food there was some of the best I've ever had!

The bean sprouts were good, and the bracken was home-grown.

The soup I had probably cost seven or eight dollars, right?

How do I know? Shut up and order some beer!

I was so sorry that he passed away.

May he rest in peace.

Hey, did you gain weight?

Dan Ji, Dan Ji, Dan Ji, my love Dan Ji!

It's been so long since we last met!

Let's take a picture together!

I'm going to post it on Facebook.

Let's take it before we grow any older.

- Picture? - Come on, hurry!

- Hurry! - Us too?

Hurry up!

Okay, here we go. One, two, three!

Today, at this reunion, one couple announces they are getting married.

Answer Me 1997

Hey! Are you crazy? You screwed it up for me!

Shoot!

You have no respect.

Be quiet! It's time for "Star Documentary."

Everyone, please shut your mouths!

Is it recording?

The red light's on. Don't worry.

That's right.

We'll be introducing our home for the first time!

Everyone, are you ready?

- Then, here we go! - Let's go in!

Tony and Woo Hyuk's Home

These are all from fans?

Yes, they send us a lot of presents.

This one looks quite special!

This doll is also from a fan...

That's the teddy bear I gave him, right?

Is it? Is it?

I hug this teddy bear to sleep.

Look at that! That's mine!

Yeah it is! It is!

You're right, it is!

- You're sure, right? - Yeah.

It is, it is!

I kiss the doll before going to sleep...

He kissed it! He kissed it!

Did you guys see? That's mine! Mine!

Good for you.

Oh dear. They're at it again.

Hello!

Did you see? Did you see? That's mine! That's mine!

What's so great about them? They look like toothpicks!

Dad!

What?

Today's "Star Documentary" was about H.O.T.!

Everyone! Everyone!

I'll see you again next week. I love you all!

I love you? Did he just say I love you?

The broadcasting system must be crazy to let those monkeys be on TV!

They should all have their heads shaved and be sent to the military instead!

Stop calling them monkeys!

- They're monkeys. - They're not!

Ridiculous.

Answer Me 1997 Episode 1 "Eighteen"

April 29

Happy birthday, Yoon Jae!

A Guess T-shirt?

Wait...

Adidos?

Westpak?

Safty Zone?

A Guess T-shirt?

It's a real one this time.

Is it? Is it a real one?

Yeah, it is!

Good morning, ma'am.

Happy birthday, Yoon Jae!

I'm an adult now, so no need to go over the top.

Here is your breakfast. Dig in!

Hey...

Did you put fish in the seaweed soup again?

Yeah, that makes it taste better.

It's staring back at me. I can't eat this.

Why do you keep putting fish in seaweed soup?

Just eat it. Don't you know that's how people eat it in Busan?

No! I don't know! So please, put beef in the seaweed soup!

Seriously! You complain too much!

The only reason you get to eat this is because you two share the same birthday.

Sung Shi Won! Aren't you coming down?

Eat this. Happy birthday.

I guess I'll be eating fried egg over rice on my birthday!

Your soup's getting cold!

- I don't want to eat! - What?

I said I don't want to eat!

What did she say?

Are you still upset?

- Who are you, mister? - Mister?

What did you say to her yesterday?

I don't remember...

Yoon Jae, what did he say to Shi Won yesterday?

He said such people were like monkeys and harmful to society.

And they should be sent to the military with their heads shaved.

You mean Shi Won? She's not that bad!

No, not Shi Won. Tony!

Oh, that guy who looks like a monkey?

Hey...

Happy birthday, Yoon Jae. Here is your present.

Where's mine?

Mister, who are you?

Why you... I should just slap you with this fried egg!

This again?

Are you going to keep giving me coupons for my birthday?

Why? You don't like it?

No.

I've never seen someone use coupons so well like you!

Coupon: Make me laugh

Coupon: Lend me what I want for a day

Shi Won's graduation on the same day

Yes, I have no parents!

Coupon: Do anything I ask

Do you have anything new this year?

I had to think a lot.

There are many "Do anything" coupons this year.

Isn't it brilliant?

Apologize no matter what. Hug me no matter what.

Calm down no matter what...

Do anything I ask?

- Seriously? - Yeah.

I'll do anything that doesn't cost money.

Aren't I kind, my sweet puppy?

Stop messing around.

Did you watch last night's "Star Documentary?"

The teddy bear I gave Tony was on TV!

He had it right in his room. He even kissed it!

Seriously? Was it yours?

Really? So lucky!

Are you sure it was yours?

Yes, it is. I stitched my name on the front of the teddy bear!

TN heart SW

- So does Tony know you, Shi Won? - Shi Won, the fan from Busan?

- You're the best! - You think so?

It was so hard to do the stitches...

Everyday for ten days, I stitched meticulously to make that...

- Did you record it? - Sure I did!

I can lend it to you guys if you want.

You should have seen their facial expressions.

I can imagine.

Do you want some?

No, thanks.

- Do you want some? - No, thanks.

Do you want this?

Let's just eat, okay?

What's your problem now?

You have something here.

Yoon Yoon Jae, can you record something today?

Which one?

Today is the last day of the "Starry Night" radio show.

You do it, then.

H.O.T. is coming on the "Starry Night" radio show.

Then you can record it directly.

It's in Daegu.

You're going that far to see H.O.T.?

Of course!

What a dilemma.

Kang Min is having a concert on "Star in my Heart."

Kangta is having a concert on "Starry Night" radio.

What should I do?

You should be really busy today then.

Because you have to see Ahn Jae Wook and Ahn Chil Hyun.

What a huge dilemma.

Stop it!

I like Cha In Pyo better than Ahn Jae Wook.

You too?

Yes, Choi Jin Sil is so cute.

You are acting like a girl!

You know today is your father's birthday?

I don't have a dad.

Do you like H.O.T. that much?

I don't want to talk about it.

Why don't you ask your mom to record it?

No. I asked her last time.

She ended up recording the news instead.

Are you going to skip study hall?

There is a way.

I can't control when my period starts.

You don't know how much it hurts.

It hurts so much.

You don't know anything about menstruation!

Go ahead.

You should record it perfectly. Don't cut out the beginning!

Do it properly, okay?

Hey, hey! Be quiet!

- You're in big trouble if I hear you again. - Yes sir.

I don't like the teacher.

He only acts nicely to the girls.

He knows that he is handsome.

Yes, he is handsome and tall.

I don't think so. He looks like a girl.

Do you know what?

He was a legend in Busan when he was in high school.

Someone told me that he won all the academic prizes in Busan then.

In his first year of high school!

At that time, everyone knew who he was.

Was he that smart?

So what if he was that smart? He's just a teacher here.

He should've been a prosecutor or a doctor.

Or at least a magician.

According to rumors, he is really rich.

No, according to my mom he was really smart

but his family was too poor to send him to Seoul.

I said be quiet! I'm warning you!

He really knows that he's good-looking.

Yoon Jae, let's go home.

I wish the bus came to Busan, not just Daegu.

Just be thankful.

- Didn't your back hurt on the way? - Not at all.

- Do you like H.O.T. more than me? - Yeah.

- Really? - Yes!

Fine. Let's go. You look fine!

Ticket! Ticket!

Please show us your tickets!

Take some cheering supplies with you.

Wow! Look at this. It says H.O.T.

Really? Wow, this is pretty awesome.

I think they're releasing their eighth album.

Oh really?

- Tada! - Oh my!

Are you ready to meet Tony?

Or is it Kangta?

What are you talking about? We're family.

Dear sister, shall we go inside?

Shall we?

Stop that.

I said, stop.

I said stop.

Ouch! That hurts!

He's the only one who makes you upset.

He's crazy!

Is this a Guess T-shirt?

Guess?

Real?

Are you kidding? This is original.

Hey, do you really think this is an original?

I think so.

Guess has a question mark, not an exclamation mark.

It's "Guess?" Not "Guess!"

- It really is an exclamation mark. - It is?

Let me see! It really is!

Our imitation industry has improved a lot!

We are so smart!

I really couldn't notice it! How did you know?

I really like the idea. Let's just say it's an original.

Yoon Jae's wearing the real thing!

You punks. Did you think I was joking?

How many times have I told you to be quiet?

Class president, come here.

I said, come here.

Are you the class president? Come here.

I didn't make any noise.

What did you just say?

I said, I was quiet!

You think you're funny?

Come up here right now!

As class president, you should have kept the class quiet.

How many times have I told you to be quiet?

How many hits?

Ten.

The first stage is H.O.T's "Warrior's Descendant!"

Moon Hee Jun, Jang Woo Hyuk, An Seung Ho, Ahn Chil Hyun, Lee Jae Won, I love you H.O.T!

H.O.T. forever!

H.O.T! H.O.T!

H.O.T! H.O.T!

Are you going to have a party?

No, it's for us.

That could feed over a hundred people.

Really?

Better to have more than less.

By the way, where is Shi Won?

She went to Daegu.

- Why? - To see H.O.T.

It is starting.

Did you come here to record?

No. I'm not her servant.

Tony! Tony!

Tony!

An Seung Ho! An Seung Ho! An Seung Ho!

Jang Woo Hyuk, Jang Woo Hyuk, Jang Woo Hyuk!

H.O.T! H.O.T! H.O.T!

H.O.T! H.O.T! H.O.T!

Moon Hee Jun, Jang Woo Hyuk, An Seung Ho, Ahn Chil Hyun, Lee Jae Won, I love you H.O.T!

Forever H.O.T! I love you H.O.T!

Always H.O.T! My love H.O.T!

Tony! Tony!

It's so long, isn't it?

Daegu MBC "Starry Night" Live Broadcast

Here! Me! Me!

Here's the first question.

What was the illness that Tony caught when he came to Korea is?

He wanted to call home!

Yes, and then what happened?

He called the States everyday and had a bill over a thousand dollars.

Yeah!

Here! Look at me!

When did Tony confess to his first love?

April 15, Wednesday! It was a rainy day!

Me! It's me! Yes!

Me! Me! Here!

What gift did Tony bring from the U.S. for the band while recording their first album?

Shoes! Shoes! Over here!

- Yeah! - Why are you only asking her?

Just sit down. Here!

Here! Over here!

This is the most important question.

The prize is Tony's T-shirt, which he just wore.

Hey! Me! Me!

What did Tony do when he was in fifth grade?

Skateboard! Skateboard!

Wrong. You were in a hurry.

While riding that skateboard, where did he get hurt?

Me! Me!

You already answered.

Come on!

No, you lost the opportunity. Next student!

Yes, you.

His front tooth?

Correct!

The T-shirt that Tony was just wearing.

It still smells of his sweat.

And the answer was his front tooth.

T-shirt! Now it's mine! Thank you! I love you!

The smell of Tony's sweat!

You just take it.

I'm not a Tony fan anyway.

If you get something from Kangta, you can give that to me.

No. I'm fine. You got the answer right.

I'm not interested in these things.

I just really want to give it you. Keep it.

Really? Can I?

I'm never going to wash this!

The smell of Tony's sweat. Oh my!

And... I have something to tell you...

Yes, I'm listening.

Look at me then.

Look at me!

I'm listening!

Earlier today... I asked Yoon Jae out.

Really? What did he say?

He didn't answer, yet. Maybe he doesn't like me...

But... would it be okay if we dated?

Why not?

You're childhood friends.

But didn't you like that Japanese actor?

I don't like him anymore.

And a few days ago, you said you liked our teacher.

He is too old.

Yoon Jae is good-looking and smart.

He's good at sports and he's mature.

Really? I can't tell...

Did you record it?

Yes, I did it.

Good job.

Today...

Yoo Jung asked me out.

I heard.

What should I do?

How do you feel?

I don't know.

Should I not date her?

Why do you ask me?

Should I not date her?

Should I not date her?

Grant any wish.

What's your wish?

Don't make me date her.

What kept you so busy that you couldn't eat dinner?

Where's the soy sauce?

Oh, right.

Star in my Heart

Choi Jin Sil

Cha In Pyo

Here. Come eat.

This is too much.

You're home.

At school, I was...

Don't apologize.

It's an exclamation point, not a question mark!

What?

It's a question mark! How could you not know that?

Question mark...

Such a good show! A good show!

A great performance.

Ahn Jae Wook really did a good job.

He will be a top star!

Cha In Pyo will go down.

I like Choi Jin Sil the best!

This is Tony An. Love you all!

This week's "Star Documentary" featured H.O.T.

Everyone, let's meet next week! Love you all!

I really like Kim Gook Jin. Love you all!

Yoon Jae, I'm sorry.

It was my fault.

I didn't know you were the class president.

I'm sorry. Can you open the door?

Yoon Jae was hit by his brother for the first time in his life.

My heart was broken like a torn videotape.

Hello, this is Yoon Yoon Jae.

Press one to leave a number. Press two to leave a message.

Press one to leave a number. Press two...

Hello, this is Yoon Yoon Jae.

Press one to leave a number.

Press two to leave a message.

We think we can love anyone...

And worry too much about little things.

Eighteen.

Adults say we laugh at the simplest things.

But we were serious.

Harder and more intense than most adults.

In 1997, our eighteenth year started off like this.

Mom!

Oh my, what? Did I do something wrong?

It smelled a lot!

Tony's scent!

Why did you wash it? It wasn't even dried yet.

What?

- Don't do it! - No way!

I'm going to be reborn as D-cup Mo Yoo Jung.

I want to have bigger breasts!

Crazy...

Surgery is next week.

Surgery?

You don't need to know.

Since when did you have secrets?

Only women get this surgery.

Breast surgery? Go to Thailand.

You! Don't clap!

There's also a surgery that only men undergo.

Thank you!

Where did he go?

Can you walk?

Yes...

But... I don't want you to tell Shi Won about this.

Why? Is it embarrassing?

Yes.

Don't worry. I won't tell her.

You can tell everyone except Shi Won.

I heard that you became a man!

What are you doing?

Don't do it!

I'm sorry. Did it hurt? I will never know.

Don't be such a crybaby. It'll fall off if you act like that.

It'd be expensive if it fell off, especially after surgery.

I didn't tell her. She really catches on fast.

Yoon Jae, I'll cook seaweed soup because you bled today.

Dong Il doesn't know about it, right?

No, no.

My lips are completely sealed.

Nobody knows except Shi Won.

Yoon Jae, how was the surgery?

Yoon Jae, which cup size did you use for the surgery?

Kwang An High School freshman, Yoon Yoon Jae!

Congratulations on your surgery!

Where is the disc?

I put it on the desk. Check it again.

It's not there. Come and look for it!

Then check my bag.

I can't find it! Did you lose it?

Come on!

Why can't you find it?

- It's not there. - Back off!

Use your brain for everyday life, not just for studying.

You can't find it in this tiny bag?

You are making my life harder.

Are you stupid?

Yoon Jae, how was the surgery?
