This drama is about a poor attorney
who leaves a well known law firm

so as to not be compromised
by unethical activities.

He takes on Byung Moon High School,

known for troublesome, poor students
and on the verge of shutting down.

He takes on the challenge
to have 5 students accepted into

Chun Ha University,
a top national university.

He moved his office again?

That, Kang Seok Ho has
gone as low as he could.

Keep causing him trouble.

Cocky people like him needs
to be squashed for good.

We need to make sure he knows
how scary this world is, right?

Law Office of Kang Seok Ho

Episode 1

Yes, law office...

Yes.

Yes.

I'll deposit at least one month's
rent by the end of the month.

I'm sorry.
Yes, yes.

Are you having trouble making rent again?

- Yeah. Coffee?
- No, no. I'm fine.

Take a look at this.

Byung Moon High School

Make some money for your rent.

Byung Moon High School?

You've heard of Byung Moon Construction?

The company that merged with
Wang Bong Construction last year.

It's the school that
the company established.

It does have some history of tradition.

Byung Moon High School

Hey! Hey, you!

I'm sorry.

But what good does that do?

The students are exceptionally
ignorant so they've earned

the reputation of being
a toilet of a school.

And the school is full of problematic kids.

Enrollment keeps dropping each year,

and of those that do enroll,
half of them drop out.

Merging of Byung Moon Construction and
Wang Bong Construction approved.

And now even the Foundation
is struggling financially so…

Chairman of Byung Moon
Construction fighting for life.

So they're probably looking for
someone to take over the school.

Only Daughter of Chairman Jang Pil Gyu Becomes
the new Director of Byung Moon High School

Yeah.

I suppose they want to take care of it before
they are told to do so by the higher ups

Request to transfer operating permit?

You want to take it on?

Thank you.

At least one month's rent
may be taken care of by this.

That'll be fortunate if you can.

Oh and, depending on the situation,

they're even considering
legal dissolution of the school.

If they do go that route,
you'll be handling that as well.

Legal dissolution?

So the school can close down?

Bingo!

♪Noodles with black bean sauce

Jajyangmyun♪ delivery!

You haven't had lunch yet?

- No. I'll get one for you, too.
- No, that's all right.

I can't make another delivery back here.

Why not?

You want me to come back
here with one order?

Aren't you a young man
whose job is to deliver?

Whether one order or two, your
job is to just quietly deliver, isn't it?

Forget it. I ate already.

That'll be 4,000 won.

No matter what you do, you should
be diligent in your responsibility.

Your responsibility is to just
deliver, be it one or two bowls.

And courteously, at that.

Yes. I'll do that.

Customer, please enjoy your meal.

Man, you haven't changed a bit.

He lacks even mere basics.

Aigoo.

Speedy Resolution
Attorney Kang Seok Ho 010-1123-1234

That's all you are?

Pile of doo-doo, Kang Seok Ho

Is it really going to be ruined?

I hope this school faces ruin!

Byung Moon High School,
Kang Seok Ho 10325

You, pull your bike over!

Math; Name: Kil Pulip Score: 25

City of Seoul, move forward with
redevelopment of Pung Jin-dong!

Restore our neighborhood to state
before Byung Moon High
-Citizens of Pung Jin, 2nd dong-

Ahjussi, is Byung Moon High going to move?

If only they will, how great will
that be? But they won't budge.

That toilet of a school is keeping
the land value from going up.

Did you come to take a look at some land?

What?

Oh, if only that Byung Moon High
will move, this will be prime land.

Prime land.

Of course, it will be!

There are plans for redevelopment and I'm sure
at the next town election, they will give up.

Sa Do Chul is doo-doo - fart,
fart - Byung Moon farts

Those arch enemies.

Why aren't the ghosts taking
all of them away from us?

Aigoo.

"Of" plus objective pronoun plus verb.

And that is how you use 'of'
with the verb. Understand?

Kids, let's all sit up.

How can you all fall asleep like that?

Chan Doo, come on.
Are you that sleepy?

Hyun Jung, you're sleeping too?
You're that tired?

Bong Goo is the only one
that gives me hope.

Cheer up, Teacher.

Thank you.
Do you understand it all?

Yes.

Wow. Your penmanship is very nice as well.

You were on lesson 5?

But we're on lesson 4 right now.

Oh, is that so?

No wonder it seemed a little different.

Okay.

Legal Dissolution?

Then are you saying our
school is going to close down?

What will happen to all of us?

Calm down. Let's all calm down.

It's not that bad, is it, Director?

I'm not too sure.

But it could certainly be a possibility.

Director!

Director!

Director! What are you saying?

Our school can shut down?
Why? When? Why?

Calm down.

That's what I hate about the
people of our country,

so quick to jump to conclusion
and get so fired up.

Nothing had been decided yet.

A attorney is on his way here
and after he's reviewed the situation,

we'll make the decision
based on his findings.

How can you just tell us
about it like this?

What do you mean a attorney already?

Shouldn't that be after you've discussed the
matter fully with all the teachers and then…

Teacher Han Soo Jung,
have that full discussion

with the attorney when he gets here.

Leave me out of it.

Excuse me.

Is Director Jang Ma Ri here?

That's me.

Are you Attorney Kang Seok Ho?

Yes.

Oh, Attorney gentleman!

What is going to happen to our school?

Are we all going to lose our jobs?

- What's going on here?
- How can this happen?

- What are we going to do?
- This is the first I'm hearing of this.

How can you do this to us?

There is nothing that's been decided yet.

Recommendations regarding transfer

of the operating permit or legal
dissolution of the school will be made

to the board of directors
at tomorrow's meeting.

Recommend to the board of directors.

That is so one sided.

How can we not have any say in the matter?
So we just have to accept their…?

There's something I need to discuss with
you, separate from the matter for the board.

Is that so?

Let's go to my office.

Director!

Director.

Teacher Han Soo Jung, tomorrow.
Let's talk tomorrow.

There's no way this can happen.

It makes no sense. No sense at all.
How can they...?

I wish you'd just handle it yourself.

I'm paying you to handle things
so I don't have to deal with the headaches.

Don't involve me in the future.

One moment please!

What now?

If we have to have a legal dissolution,

does that really mean we have
to close down the school?

That is a possibility or there could be
someone else who'll keep it open.

Then what happens to our kids?

The worst case scenario could be for
them to be scattered to other schools?

And while that happens,
some of the teachers could leave.

And the school environment
could become chaotic.

It's possible, depending on the situation.

You say that so easily.

The welfare of the students
is none of my concern.

Director, how can you put
the future of our school

into the hands of a total
stranger like this man?

If you know another attorney, bring him.
One whose fees are cheap.

Come.

Uh, just a sec... what high
school did you attend?

Think about if the school you
attended was facing closure,

♪junior

and your hoobaes♪ had to
part from their friends,

getting fingers pointed at
them saying they're

from a toilet school.
How would you feel?

I'm not sure.

I am a person who makes
objective decisions.

I've not thought about any hoobaes
whose faces I've never seen.

They're kids that we must not give up on.

If they all have to scatter
to unknown schools,

the kids will become worse
than they are now.

Why don't you discuss matters
like that at your faculty meetings?

I detest complicated things
so just make it simple.

How is Chairman Jang Pil Gyu?

The same as always…

Do you know my dad?

Oh, I saw the newspaper articles.

Ah...

When I think of him, I have mixed feelings.

Before he lost consciousness, he asked
me to take good care of the school.

But what can I do?

Ugh. You have no idea how stressful
it's been for me since I took it over.

What's the use of hanging onto
a school that's not working?

Yes.

I just got done filing for a
special business permit.

What now?

The school you took the case for?

Apparently Wang Bong Group is planning on
taking over the neighborhood the school is in.

They're saying they want to
build an apartment village.

And where Byung Moon is located,

they're going to mark it
as a historical spot.

If toilet school exits and Wang Bong
enters, that area will completely change.

Didn't you quit the law
firm over Wang Bong Group?

You had a near miss with Wang Bong.

Are you sure?

Yeah, pretty much.

Finish up the case and get out of
there before you have to see them.

Once the word gets out that the city

won't be redeveloping the area,
and a private company is coming it,

things can get messy in the neighborhood.

Hey you, get over here.

Aigoo. You call them students?

Why won't this toilet of
a school just go away?

- How much longer do we have to put up with this?
- Really!

How in the world can they be so noisy?

They're so loud, how can
we have normal lives?

I'm so embarrassed for them.

Hey, hey, hey!
Let's go.

Aigoo, aigoo. You call yourself a student?

I really need to move away from here.
That Byung Moon High is just a headache.

Get out of here! Go on!

Why must we continue to put up with this?

They're kids we must not give up on...

We must not let give up on Seok Ho.

If they all have to scatter
to unknown schools,

the kids will become worse
than they are now.

Let me go!

I hope this school faces ruin!

If toilet school exits and Wang Bong
enters, that area will completely changed.

I can't allow them to swallow this up.

Oh? Gran..!

Grandma.

Oh, Baek Hyun.

What's going on?

He was just in the area.

Be safe on your return home.

Baek Hyun, let's go in.

Just a minute, grandma.

There's a problem, isn't there?

Right?

It's okay. I've been
looking for a new place.

How can you do that to us?

What do you mean the house will
be auctioned off so we have to go?

Do you think I want to do this?

How crazy do you think I'm going,
having lost the house and all?

Baek Hyun!

Then what are we supposed to do?

My grandma and me!

We can't even get the deposit back from you
so we have to be out on the streets?!

That's why I told you from the beginning.

I told you the house was in foreclosure
so you needed to be prepared.

You sure moved in quickly at the cheap
rent so why raise a stink now?

What is he talking about, grandma?

You, young punk don't even
know what's going on.

Don't. Don't do that. Don't do that.

Why are you acting like this?
Aigoo, aigoo.

I had no idea.

Even if it cost a little more, we should
have moved to a more secure place.

It was because of your school.

And we had to be close to your school.

Don't worry. I've been
looking all over the place.

You think there won't be a place
for us to live in this entire country?

What is the chicken for?

You enjoy it so much.

What money could you have to buy this?

I've been saving the spending
money you've been giving me.

I told you to buy what you
needed for school with that.

I got this with money left over.

What a thoughtful person my grandson is.

Aigoo. You're kindhearted,
just like your mother and father.

That hurts, grandma.

Let's hurry and eat this.
It's already gotten cold.

Baek Hyun.

Huh?

Study hard.

You have to get into a good
college so I can look at

your parents squarely in the
eye when I get to heaven

Always the same thing.

How wonderful if you can get
accepted by Chun Ha University.

Oh grandma, how could
I go to a school like that?

What? When you were little,
you were such a good student.

- All the people in the neighborhood
said you were a child prodigy.
- There you go again.

Here, have some chicken, grandma.

Okay.

Wow, it tastes like honey

You have some, too.

Bong Goo! What are you doing?

This kid… you're studying?

I'm working on my homework.

The customers are almost gone.
Let's have a late night snack.

I'm still full from dinner.

Come on out.

I put aside a beautiful piece of beef.

Bong Goo, come on out and eat some meat.

Okay, mom.

- Bong Goo, come this way.
- Come on, come on.

Here, take this off.

Bong Goo was in there
studying in the kitchen.

What?

No. I told you it was my homework.

He said he was doing his homework.

You think any time he
reads something,

even if it's a magazine,
you call it studying.

It's just that no one in our family
goes near books, that's all.

Did we find Bong Goo on the streets?

If he takes after you or me,
he doesn't have the brains for studying.

Right.

All that needless studying doesn't
do you much good to find a good job.

Our shop is doing so well,
you just take this over.

Open wide, my son.

Oh my son, always look like
a prince when he eats.

Dad. You too, dad.

- What about mom?
- Here, take this.

Chan Doo, your father!

Your father is home!

Father isn't due back until tomorrow.

An urgent situation came up at the
office so he came back early.

Um, Chan Doo had been studying all along
and he was just taking a quick…

Oh! It gets hot even if it's not turned on.

Shouldn't you be at the school right now?

I was just about to leave.

- Good bye. Good bye.
- Okay. Study hard.

Shoot, why did he come
home suddenly like that?

[Na Hyun Jung]

What do you want?

Go with me.

If I go by myself, Baek Hyun won't see me.

So why are you acting like a stalker?

I don't care. I'm not going.

I'm going to tell your dad about the
guitar you had me hold for you.

Wow, these are so great!

How much are these?

Honey, say ahhh.

It's good, isn't it? Now, me.

Say ahh.

It's good.

Uh, are you just now getting home, Pulip?

Look at that girl.

Aren't you going to greet uncle?

Oh, Pulip! Wait.

Uncle bought this to give to you.
Isn't it pretty?

How can I wear something like this?

Honey, I'm sorry.

I think she's still going
through her adolescence.

It's okay.

She's just stressed from all her studies

She is in her 3rd year of high school.

What's with the drama?

It's not like she's studying to
go to Chun Ha or anything.

Sorry.

Whenever you need me, just call me.

I will come running anytime.

Okay!

Daytime is okay, nighttime is okay.
Okay, Okay!

I will come running anytime.

No one else, call me.

I will always be thinking of you.

If you will just call me.

I'll come running no matter what.

To you I'll come running…

Baek Hyun went out. He
said he was going for a run.

I see.

Baek Hyun said he doesn't like you so
why do you keep hounding him?

What did I do... grandma?

What did you bring to try
and win him over with today.

No, you can't.

That's why I told you from the beginning.

I told you the house was in foreclosure
so you needed to be prepared.

You sure moved in quickly at the cheap
rent so how can you raise a stink now?

Because I'm weary.

Because I'm weary.

In this world that makes
me run til I'm out of breath

I stand there as the
rain comes down and I sing

The memories of growing up
without knowing how it began

I try and soothe the
heart that is full of bruises

Because I'm weary.

'cause I'm weary.

Pulip!

Oh, hi!

What is that?

It's for my husband.

Leo Du Thames jeans.

Nice. I bet Baek Hyun will love them.

What's that?

Hey!

Neener-neener-neener!

Hong Chan Doo!

Pulip, let's go to the bookstore.

That's right.

The Math teacher said I needed
to bring this by today.

Babe, you also have to
get one for English class.

Hyun Jung, do you have any extra money?

I'm broke after I pay for these.

Wow, those are so pretty!

Would you like to do a little job?

Who are you?

The job will only take 10 minutes.

I'm sorry?

And I can pay for the work up front.

50,000 won for 10 minutes?

There's no way!

You're asking me to keep this migraine
of a school for another year?

I refuse. I'll never do it.

It won't cause you any headaches.

You won't have to do anything.

I still don't want to.

Just because I'm the director, I have to go
here and there. Get asked too many questions.

And every time I turn around,
some investigation into something or other.

I won't, I won't, I won't! Ugh!

Why?

Just because you release the school,

do you think you'll be
free from it right away?

That won't happen.

It won't be easy to find someone
to take the school over.

If no one wants to take it over,

you will have to submit a request

to be released from the liability and
seek legal dissolution of the school.

That isn't something that is

automatically granted just because
you've submitted the request.

You'll have to provide valid reasons
for seeking the dissolution,

provide a list of all assets,
list of all your liabilities,

show proof of how you used the
funds, all in minute detail

to the Department of Education.

It doesn't end there.

Once the process of dissolution
begins, there will be a court process

to determine how to disperse all
the school property and equipment.

There will be five representatives
from the Dept. of Education.

Also attorneys, accountants, tax
representatives and appraisers

in addition to those five.

Additionally, there will be a

school board of inquiry

made up of the surrounding schools
on the reason for your failure.

Do you know how stressful and
difficult process it will be?

You'll find yourself wishing for
the times when you were

only occasionally irritated by
the problems you face now.

That can't be.

In the course of doing
background checks,

I discovered you invested
in stocks last year.

And lost an obscene amount of money.

That...

I've replaced that money.

Do you think that's all it will take?

Isn't that like the person who
buries his head under the blanket

while his enormous behind is sticking
out and saying, "I'm hiding"?

You have many other situations
that could be deemed suspicious,

as you very well know,

aren't there?

What do you want me to do?

Give me just one year.

I will revive Byung Moon High School.

Then my application was accepted?

Yes, yes.

I'll see you then.

Teacher, are you going
to another school?

Shhh. You should also hurry up
and find another school.

You may be unemployed in
a blink of an eye.

Teacher Han.

What are those copies of?

Supplemental study material
for the students.

You work so hard for them.
But do you think they even care?

Don't put yourself out so much.
It's going to shut down any day.

You shouldn't think like that.

Even if the worst case
scenario comes to be,

all the teachers should unite in
protecting our kids.

- I've given this some thought and...
- Oh, that startled me.

Yes, right.
This is Park Kwi Nam.

All the teachers can write something

and place an ad with it in the newspaper.

"Please protect our children".

Omo! I forgot about
the discussion session.

Teacher Sa, and then...

Let's say we do keep the
school open for another year.

How do you plan to turn
it around in that time?

Putting out students that are
accepted to Chun Ha University.

What?

By Chun Ha University, you mean
the National Chun Ha University?

That's right.

The same school that even top students
don't always get accepted into?

That Chun Ha University?

Once it's known that Byung Moon
High has a high acceptance rate

to Chun Ha University,

Byung Moon's reputation
won't be a joke anymore.

You think what you're saying makes sense?

Attorney Kang,

I don't think you've finished looking
into our school's background.

There's never been a single Byung Moon
student who's gone there.

It's possible to get them in.

How can that be done?

I will share the details
at the board meeting.

At any rate, I'll consider you to have
agreed to keep the school open

for another year.

Or, you can choose to go down
the long and difficult path.

All right.

Hey, Pulip,

do you know this?

Look at the answer sheet.

I did but still don't get it.

Oh! A new mechanical pencil!

Thank you.

I just bought that yesterday.

I know. I said it was new.

Hey, Kag Jong Min.

Why do you always take
Bong Goo's stuff?

What?

Kil Pulip.

Are you Bong Goo's girl?

What?

That's okay, Pulip.

I'm fine.

Jong Min, you can have
that pencil, okay?

You can have it.

This girl gets so riled up.

I don't want it.

Hey!

That...

Pulip, stop.

Sorry, Jong Min. Okay?

Just let it go. Let it go.

The teacher needs to hurry in.

Everyone sit.

And pull out your books.

Don't you have any pride?

Sorry.

What is it, Bong Goo?

It's nothing, Teacher.

Everyone here?

Where's Baek Hyun?
Where did he go?

He's not here yet.

And he's not answering his cell phone.

Oh?

Where?
Yes. I have it.

Don't worry.

You think there won't be a place for
us to live in this entire country?

Wad of gum

Hubby

The person you have
called is not available...

Come in.

Excuse me.

What is it?

I'm here for Kil Pulip.

This is the note from the
Director to excuse her.

Why do you need Pulip?

She needs to do a little job
for the sake of the school.

Kil Pulip!

What are you doing in
the middle of our lesson?

It's an important job for this school.

And she was already paid for it.

Teacher.

Please excuse me for just a short time.

No.

What do you mean 'work' during class?

Come with me.

I'm sorry.

Hey, you!

Omo, Pulip! No... no...

Ah, isn't that worth about 10 points
of additional homework?

Additional homework!

Additional homework!

Additional homework!

Additional homework!

Additional homework!

Additional homework!

Yes, that's right.

Chun Ha University isn't just the
name of your next door neighbor.

Have you gone crazy?

Byung Moon High's enrollment

has steadily dropped each year.

But if it's a school

that raises students

who enters top universities,
parents will jump through the hoops

to enroll their children here.

Of course, we know that.

But, how can we have students from here

get accepted to Chun Ha University?

To be brutally honest about the kids here,

they're not that bright.

Sitting down ignorant kids to teach them,
that's really just waste of effort.

It just ends up driving the teacher crazy.

Did you say the kids here are stupid?

Then, are the kids from the
rich neighborhood smart?

Isn't it because their
parents know the importance

of education and send
them to multiple academies?

That is not the case.

All children are the same.

The only difference is that
they have opportunities

to help them have greater accomplishments.

It is not how they began that
will to get them accepted.

It is tenacity and technique
that will get it done.

If they are trained in the right way,

the students here can definitely
go to Chun Ha University.

This year, a new selection
process will go into effect.

If the word gets out that Byung Moon's
students were accepted,

the enrollment will rise immediately.

Aren't you making grand assumptions?

Okay, maybe one or two
may get into Chun Ha.

You think that will make
the parents rush here?

Aigoo. No, that's not going to happen.

Yes, yes. You're right.

One or two being accepted by Chun Ha
won't be that big of an issue.

They'll probably think
of it as pure chance.

So that's why we will send to Chun Ha...

5 students.

What?
F... f...?

He's insane.

I've never heard such nonsense.

Five this year. Ten next year. If we
steadily increase the acceptance rate,

in 5 years, we will be able
to send 100 students.

What... a hund...?

Is there anyone here that wants this school

in the hands of someone else
or wants it shut down?

Of.. course.. there aren't.

So then, who will go to Chun Ha University?

Come in.

Pulip?

What is she doing here?

This student right here

is one of the 5 that will
go to Chun Ha University.

What is...

your ranking?

Her current rank is not
very good right now.

And her test results are poor.

But this student will

definitely attend Chun Ha
University next year.

Wow.

As I said before, it is because she will
be trained with the right technique.

Ahjussi.

One moment please!

The more I listen to you...
aren't you going overboard?

Director, is he really a attorney?

Isn't he just a scam artist?

Teacher Han Soo Jung!

He keeps talking like he
has some secret technique

and regurgitating that he'll send
our students to Chun Ha University.

Is Chun Ha University the end all?

Are you planning to turn this school
into a college prep school?

Pulip, go back to the classroom.

There is no need to listen to
this person any more.

Chun Ha University IS the end all.

Because you couldn't send
students to Chun Ha University,

this school is in the mess that it's in.

Didn’t you say to me yesterday that
we couldn't allow the school to close?

Is it better for the school to be ruined

or to be revived as an
esteemed high school?

Be clear in stating what you want!

Don't you know that it's teachers like you

who act as if they care the most about the
students without a clue as to how to help them,

that brought the school to this state?

I will most certainly send 5 students,

including this student here,
Kil Pulip, to Chun Ha University.

I will give you my promise.

Byung Moon High School

will be reborn as an elite high school!

I'm finished, right?

Yes. Good job.

Kil Pulip.

Don't you want to attend
Chun Ha University?

I thought my job was finished.

I'm being sincere.

Study hard and go to Chun Ha.

Ahjussi. How could I possibly
attend Chun Ha?

That's impossible.

Why isn't it possible?

I'm not very smart...
anyway, it just isn't possible.

If you keep on the same path,
you will end up living an impossible life.

An insignificant, meaningless life.

Aren't you being too much?

How can you say to a young child
that she will live a meaningless life?

Are you satisfied with your current life?

Don't you think it's a pathetic life?

Ahjussi!

Go to Chun Ha University.

It isn't that you don't want to, is it?

Isn't it because you don't think you can
so you won't allow yourself to dream of it?

I'll make it possible for
you to dream that dream.

I'll make that dream
become a reality for you.

We're starting a new,
special Chun Ha class.

Transfer to the special class!

It will change your life!

Promissory Contract

These are the terms of
agreement for your plan.

In the event you break any of these terms,

you must leave our school immediately.

First, within 3 days from today, gather
the students for your special class.

Since you kept claiming that you
will send at least 5 to Chun Ha,

surely you know you need to have
at least 5 students in that class?

Second, if the first agreement is kept...

Achieve June test scores to be
above 70% national percentile.

Yes.

I believe it needs to be at least
that to show a glimmer of hope

for acceptance to Chun Ha.

That isn't necessarily true.

Regardless.

If you've made such bold claims that
you will send our students to Chun Ha

but can't abide by these
terms of agreement,

then you're just blowing hot air.

I will agree to the terms.

Then please sign.

But I would like the 2nd term to be
kept between us for the time being.

For what reason?

There's no need to scare
the kids so soon after

making their decision
to climb the mountain.

And keeping it confidential won't
lesson the value of the term.

Fine.

Since we'll never get
to the 2nd one anyway.

Ah! And...

the deadline is the day
after tomorrow, 10 am.

In the event the class cannot be formed,

there is a board meeting tentatively
scheduled that morning.

Then calculating the days starting today,
it isn't really 3 days after all.

Well, I guess this is what they call
the, "Director's prerogative".

Hey, Pulip!

What happened?

Are you really going to go
to Chun Ha University?

No.

He just told me to stand there so I did.

That was your job?

Apparently.

Oh! Hubby!

Hubby, why didn't you answer your phone?

Hwang Baek Hyun, is there something wrong?

Why?

Your face doesn't look right.

It's because I slept too much.

You were sleeping and
that's why you're late?

I can't believe you.

Do you know how worried I was?

Delivery boy?

Is everyone here?

If everyone is here, I would like
to make an announcement.

That there will be a new,
special Chun Ha class?

We already know that.

No. This is about you teachers.

As soon as the class is formed,

all the teachers will go through
a competency test to be re-qualified.

- What?
- What?

- What?
- Re-qualified?

What are you talking about?

That's the second phase of restructuring

the education program at Byung Moon.

There will be a new system at Byung Moon,

and as such, the qualification of the
teachers must meet the new criteria.

Hah! You think you're going to
take over our school, huh?

Do whatever you'd like.
We'll just go somewhere else.

Do you have a place to go?

Whether you go to another
school or take the test,

that's your choice to make.

Is there something you'd like to say?

So what you're saying is,

if the special class is formed
then the 2nd phase goes into effect.

That's right.

Oh, okay then.

What happens if you can't fill the class?

Then it will be just a big X.

Oh, I thought...

We will need a home-room
teacher for the special class.

Are there any recommendations?

No?

Then will it be all right for me
to take on the position?

Oh, that will work out fine.

Right?

Oh, right, right.

Since you came up the idea of the class

you should do everything your way.

Right?

I understand.

Then I will accept that position.

Applause.

Ah... ah. Attention all seniors.

In 10 minutes, there will be an assembly
for the seniors in the auditorium.

For all those facing college next year,

this is a very important event,

so I will expect every student
to join us in the auditorium.

Who is she to tell us to come or go?

Why doesn't she just come here instead?

Now what is this about? Aigoo.

Teacher Han Soo Jung!

Do I look like a scam artist to you?

What?

You said that at the board meeting.

I'm not going to say
anything to you from now on.

You're going to be gone from our
school in 3 days anyway.

Keep up your good work.

Wow, so pretty.

What's this all about?
We're busy people.

Aren't they here yet?

What are they doing?

What's up with this?

You guys quiet down.

Hey, you!

You!

Quiet down!

Hello, students.

Please quiet down and stand straight.

Hey!

Are you not going to quiet down?!

Oh, our Director is all upset.

That just makes her so much sexier.

I should do that again.

I won't make this long.

There is a new, special class
for the seniors called Chun Ha.

A special class for
Chun Ha University?

What's that?

I asked you to gather so I can introduce
the new teacher for the class.

As far as the details of the class,
hear it from him.

He is Attorney Kang Seok Ho.

Over here.

What's with him?

Let's hurry up and get this over with.

Is he suffering from stage fright?

His face is like a stone.

Foolish idiots.

Fools that will live their entire lives
being trampled on by other people.

What?

What did you just say?

Hey you, get down here.

- Come down here!
- You want to go around with me?

- Get down here.
- Hey you!

Shut your mouths and listen
to me, you punks!

As you live,

to be trampled on...

do you know what it means
to be defeated?

It's being fooled by them.

You will live

the rest of your lives being fooled
by other people then die.

You bas...

In this society, there are rules.

You have no choice but
to live by those rules.

Who do you think made those rules?

Smart people.

The rules of the law, of education,
of real estate,

of taxation, of finance, of wages...

They were all made by smart people,
all to their advantage and

to make their own lives better.

But rules that are disadvantageous to them

are bound and twisted up so complicatedly

that people who are not smart
can't figure them out.

Smart people use these rules
to eat well and live well.

But you students of Byung Moon,

you who don't want to use your heads,

will spend the rest of your lives

being taken advantage of by smart people.

There will be no end to the injustices
you will suffer at their hands.

And ultimately,

be defeated by them.

So what do you want
us to do about it?

If you don't want to be taken
advantage of by those smart people,

if you don't want to be fooled

and be defeated by them,

there is only one way.

Study.

Only studying.

Study hard.

Clamp your teeth down and
study until you think you'll die.

Then go to Chun Ha University.

You only have one solution.

Starting today, on the fourth floor,

we will be accepting students
for the new special class.

Whether your grades stink or if you're ranked
at the bottom of the class, it doesn't matter.

Anyone may join.

The goal of the new special class

is for 5 students to be admitted to
Chun Ha University next year.

We don't need any other universities.

Chun Ha University?

Only, The National Chun Ha University!

Delivery boy?

Chun Ha University?

You're funny.

Then you, did you graduate
from Chun Ha University?

Does Chun Ha put food on the table?

You like Chun Ha that much?!

I didn't graduate from Chun Ha University.

I don't like Chun Ha University.

The people that graduate from
Chun Ha and act high and mighty,

they all stink pretty rotten.

They make me sick.

But it's different for you.

Those of you that are scraping the gutter,

the only way you can back at the society

is by attending Chun Ha University.

The gutter?

You! You, come here.

Do something about those kids.

You be still. Be still.

What do you think you're doing?

You punks!

Be still!

You've all seen those banners
that are in front of the school.

What do you think when you see them?

When it says to take you all away,

it means you're just
considered to be trash.

Just for the one reason

that you're not good students,

you can't say anything back
so you just hide in the corner.

Doesn't that make you all plain idiots?

What's wrong with you kids?

Why won't you even give it a try
and just accept the trampling?

Why don't you do anything about it?

Only letting your heads remain empty?

What?

This society that chants praises of
Chun Ha and other top schools,

you say it's dirty?

The society that is ruled by people with
money and power, you say makes you sick?

If that's the case,

then why don't you become
the ones to make the rules.

Don't live as trash, just
complaining in the background.

Become people that fix
this society with new rules!

The chance to change your life
is right there in front of you.

Jump on it!

Study!

Go to Chun Ha University!

Quit trying to change us
and leave our school.

Teacher Han Soo Jung?

Take care of it yourself.

Let's get started.

The appeal of Byung Moon will be

100 students accepted by
Chun Ha University.

A hundred. Two hundred.

How can you just randomly keep
raising those numbers?

There's no hope of a future for you.

Are you threatening me?

Come to the special class.

Give it a good try.

I thought you said you
didn't go to Chun Ha.

Why do you keep saying Chun Ha, Chun Ha?

Class leader is...

If we get 5 students, become the
assistant home-room teacher.

Where did you come up with those?

I'd like to transfer to the special class.

If it's only 3, then it's off?

I'm sorry.
