Hey! Hey!

Se Ho.

Are you running away again?

You coward.

I wanted to...

get on my knees if I meet you again.

They why don't you?

You're always just talk.

But doing that...

won't be able to give back all the years you've lost.

At least you know that.

I did things I can't ever take back,

and I don't want...

to make myself feel better just by apologizing.

You can just hate and resent me, Bok Su.

Hey, is that really all you have to say?

Aren't you going to explain why you did all that stuff to me?

I thought about it millions of times,

but I still don't get why you did all that stuff to me.

I wanted to become like you.

- What? - I envied you.

And because I envied you,

I hated you.

Every time I looked at you, I felt so pathetic.

You did nothing wrong.

I was just a huge jerk.

I did so many...

bad things to you until now.

I'm...

so sorry.

Se Ho.

I'd beat you to a pulp...

considering how angry I am at you.

But like you said,

that won't compensate for all the years I've lost.

I really can't forgive you.

But...

you should forgive yourself.

You're the only one who knows how painful and miserable...

you were.

This is a quote by Rosenberg.

"No one is evil in this world."

"There are just those who are lonely."

Let me say this one more time.

I can never forgive you.

Go.

Get lost.

I'm not going to care if you live a happy life or not.

Go.

- Mr. Ma, my orders yesterday... - Yes.

I'm Park Dong Jun, Sulsong's new principal.

You preserved your school on your own initiative.

Well done and thank you.

Because of the erroneous behavior of adults,

you must've been hurt and had a hard time.

I'd like to apologize on behalf of everyone.

Sulsong will change from now on.

All equipment, including the glass booths...

will be used fairly by drawing lots.

School meals will be the same for everyone.

I will listen to the voice of the students...

to create a school for the students...

that cares for what they want, even in the smallest details.

I will do my best to create a school that is gradually...

transformed by the students themselves.

Everyone,

I love you.

I was waiting for you.

- Are you okay? - How can I be okay?

It's so uncomfortable I can't bear it.

So,

tell me your plan.

My plan?

You can't just keep me here.

No plans?

That's okay. I have an idea.

There's a congressman you should meet. Go to him and...

I have no intentions to help you.

Oh Se Ho.

My plan is to make Sulsong a public school.

So it won't...

be controlled any longer by the wrong person.

Are you in your right mind?

Yes.

I'm finally in my right mind.

I hope your time in there cures you.

I'll be back when you're done with the sentence.

I'm going to leave home as you told me to.

Se Ho, that's...

The situation is different from then, isn't it?

- Goodbye. - Se Ho. Se Ho!

Se Ho, come back! Come back!

- Let go. - Calm down.

Do you know who I am?

Let me go!

Congratulations, Kang Bok Su.

You made it.

I didn't know I'd come this far.

But I feel relieved.

You know what? I think I'm too good for you.

What?

You're so nosy.

You're the oldest delivery boy in Korea.

You're amazingly dumb, with a scary sister.

How about you? You eat five yogurts in a row.

You finish four portions of meat.

You're strong and you swear all the time.

Hey, I eat well so I don't get sick easily.

I'm strong so I don't act all weak.

I'm good at swearing so I don't get intimidated.

Isn't that nice?

That's really persuasive. And attractive.

Whatever. I don't know.

Right? Am I not too good for you?

No one else would date you.

Do you know how hard it is to date someone like you?

Your leadership attracts everyone.

You have such a passionate heart...

that makes people around you feel warm.

You're so upright that people love you...

and I get worried.

You're no good, you know that?

Why are you confusing me?

Complimenting you makes me shy.

What do you want to compliment in particular?

For coming back to me.

Thanks, Bok Su, for coming back to me.

(Sulsong High School 32nd Graduation Ceremony)

(One year later)

Okay.

I'm Kang Bok Su,

speaking on behalf of the graduates.

- Bok Su! - You're so cool.

Everyone,

I'm graduating...

in 10 years.

As you may know,

I was kicked out of school...

and came back after meeting my first love.

Also,

with all of you...

we protected this school.

You've been with me during those times.

Sulsong also stays in my memory.

I'm so very happy that I could...

share those memories with you.

You're going out into the harsh world now.

To tell you as someone who went ahead of you,

making a living is hard.

If you live carelessly, you'll be ruined.

Life is the real thing.

Put your guards down and you're finished.

That's how life is.

Life is like walking on thin ice. But still,

I want to tell you it's worth living.

Because...

there's always someone next to you...

watching and trusting you.

Even if just one person, that one person is there for you.

That's why you shouldn't give up...

on life.

I'll finish with a famous saying.

K Revenge once said this.

Whatever you do, wherever you are,

you deserve to be loved.

That was from the oldest returning student...

and the oldest graduate...

Kang Bok Su.

Well done.

(Sulsong High School 32nd Graduation Ceremony)

K Revenge?

That's Kang Bok Su.

Mom!

Hey!

Goodness.

Good job, my son.

Mom, here's a present for you.

Ta-da.

(Certification of Graduation)

Mom, I'm a good son, right?

Yes, you're a good son.

You showed me that you didn't give up.

You're the best son there is.

How embarrassing!

You're graduating after 10 years.

It's hardly something to be proud of.

Why did they make you give a speech?

What is it?

My son.

What is it?

Mom, my son is the best son.

You got in. My In Ho got accepted...

to a college!

Really?

Really? I got in?

- Gosh, gosh. - Congratulations!

- In Ho! - By the way,

it wouldn't have been possible without Soo Jeong's help.

I agree.

That's why I'll go to your wedding.

That's a given.

- In Ho. - I'm so proud.

- Hey. Congratulations. Good work. - Mr. Park.

Ma'am, you went through a lot.

This is all thanks to you.

Thank you.

Not at all.

Bok Su worked hard.

Give me your camera. I'll take a picture for you.

- What about you? - It's okay.

Let's take it together.

- It's a family occasion. - Let's take it together.

- It's okay. - Come on, take it with us.

- Take it with us. - Gather.

I'm okay.

- Mr. Park! - Gosh.

Hello, Mr. Park.

I'll take the picture.

- Will you? - Yes.

Okay, then.

All right, here we go.

You two look good together.

Okay, here we go.

Please pose.

1, 2, 3.

Bok Su.

Hey, Soo Jeong.

How do I look? Does the uniform still suit me?

It totally suits you.

Let's go.

- Where? - We should have our own graduation.

What's wrong?

Those brats...

It used to be a piece of cake.

My knees... Gosh.

My back hurts.

My whole body hurts.

Gosh.

I'm still okay though.

My pants are too tight.

- You punk. - What is this?

- You! - What?

How can you be late as a student teacher?

You're a principal. Aren't you busy?

A principal has a lot of free time.

Why would a principal follow around someone like me?

You're still talking big.

If you're late, then what about your students?

- What will they learn from you? - They're going to see us.

(Sulsong High School)

Mr. Park!

Mr. Park!

Mr. Park. There you are.

There you are.

Mr. Kang, were you late again today?

What is it?

Ta-da.

I brought you some herbal tonics.

This is effective if you have it before a meal.

You can have it. I'm all right.

Hurry up and go to class.

I'll get going too.

This is really expensive.

Only if you weren't around...

Until then, I'll take care of my own health.

It's so bitter!

(Teachers' Office)

Hey, what are you doing outside?

Hey, are you here?

This isn't a good time.

Let's go in later.

Why?

Why do you think? Didn't you hear the news?

Mr. Kim went on a blind date, but he was dumped.

He's yelling at every teacher.

It's a mess.

I'm not scolding you for wearing jeans.

It's just that these...

I told him he should pay more attention to his clothes.

Of course no woman likes him when he wears hanbok.

I told him to wear jeans, but he's wearing hanbok again.

Was it you? Were you the one who advised him to wear jeans?

Yes.

He got dumped because she thought jeans were too casual.

Really?

Got it?

- Come here. - He's coming!

Kang Bok Su!

Come here!

Run! Run!

Come here. Come here, Bok Su!

The view you have in your seat will all be different.

Draw what you see as it is.

This isn't a test, so don't peek at other people's work.

Mr. Kang, do we have to draw him?

Hey, watch it.

I made an official request, and already paid you too.

Mr. Kang, can you be our model?

Then we'll be able to focus a lot better.

No.

I know that my face makes you burn with passion...

for the arts and is valuable as a drawing, but no.

Mr. Kang, do you have a girlfriend?

It wouldn't make sense not to have one with this face.

Mr. Kang, is your girlfriend pretty?

Yes.

Very much.

No way.

(Portrait drawing)

(2023 Secondary School Teacher Recruitment Test)

Next.

That's right.

This is my third try.

Who on earth said...

"failure is a mother of success"?

After failing three times in the final screening,

I want to tell people to stop comforting me...

with such quotes.

To be honest, I'm really upset.

If I don't make it again,

I'm too embarrassed to see my boyfriend,

and I don't dare to see his nephew.

I used to make fun of them and call them stupid.

This time, I'm the one that's stupid.

So please,

won't you let me pass?

This is my third time seeing you this year.

You must know very well why you keep on failing.

You stepped down from a private school...

for being a corrupt teacher.

Then you must all already know...

how I ended up quitting.

You're like Joan of Arc...

who blew the whistle on the school.

Yes. It's true I was a corrupt teacher.

I really wanted to become a teacher,

so I chose to do something I shouldn't have.

Exactly.

What is the reason why you want to become a teacher so badly?

The school I used to work at...

boasted about the discriminatory system they had.

They classified and discriminated students...

according to their grades.

The class I was in charge of...

was Wildflower Class, a class of students with the lowest grades.
