YE-SEO'S ALBUM

Yeong-jae's tablet PC...

Finally, the day of revenge has come.

Tomorrow, I'll escape from this hell.

Now that I gave her SNU's
med school acceptance letter,

I've fulfilled my duties as a son.

I, Park Yeong-jae,

am not your son anymore.

What kind of parents raise a child
just so they can boast?

Don't look for me.

With this,

I'm cutting all ties with you two.

Gosh.

Is Yeong-jae completely out of his mind?

Yeong-jae?

Is he the boy that used to live here?

Yes, his mom took her own life.

Ye-bin, let's stop reading this.

I think that's for the best.

Why? It got me curious.

This looks like Yeong-jae's diary.

Would it be okay
to read someone else's diary?

But why does my mom have this?

Your mom had it?

By the way, I think the person
who used to live here left this behind.

-That's mine.
-Pardon?

I lent this to the previous owner.

I gave it to your mom and asked her
to pass it along to that family.

I figured they left it behind here.

Ms. Lee, did you tell on me to my mom?

No, I didn't tell on you.

I didn't want her to worry,
so I just told her you're here.

Still, how could you tell my mom?

Gosh.

You should've brought her home
the moment you saw her.

I texted you.

You always act like this
and complicate things.

What?

Kang Ye-bin, you brat.

How could you run away from home?

You even stole my tablet PC.

What are you mad about?

Did I ever scold you for shoplifting
or doing badly on your exam?

You ran away
when you should be apologizing.

What are you so unhappy about?

Yeong-jae also said it.

He wanted to escape from this hell.

How much did you read?

Did Ms. Lee also read it?

We only read his last journal.

Ms. Lee stopped me from reading more.

You read all of it, didn't you?

Why do you think he did such a thing?

Well, that's...

It's the same as how you relieved stress
at the convenience store.

Yeong-jae must have felt stressed too.

But instead of doing
what you did, he just wrote

whatever that came to his mind.

He was just relieving his stress?

Even when his mom died?

You know how much Yeong-jae's mom
loved Yeong-jae, right?

Well, yes.

Imagine how hurt she must have been

when she found out that her precious son
wanted to cut ties with his parents

and was planning
on taking revenge on them.

I was also very hurt
when I read Yeong-jae's journal.

But why did Yeong-jae behave like that?

You can never tell anyone
what I'm about to tell you.

People can't ever find out
about this, for Yeong-jae's sake.

To be honest,

Yeong-jae was very sick.

-Yeong-jae, look at me. Are you okay?
-When he was in ninth grade,

he started suffering
from a mental illness.

Please. Please help me.

-Help me.
-Yeong-jae, look at me.

Look at me. Yeong-jae! Yeong-jae.

He became better
after he got treated for a year.

But he had a relapse
after he was done with his CSATs.

That's why he wrote
all that stuff in his journal.

Really?

But that doesn't explain why his mom died.

Maybe she was really upset.

I also feel like I want to die
every time you behave like this.

So imagine how bad
it must have been for her.

Gosh.

Ye-bin, life is hard, right?

I know it's hard too.

But to me, your future
is a lot more important

than what's going on right now.

That's why I always nag at you
to study hard.

Do you understand?

Yes, I know what you mean.

But it's just so suffocating.

You didn't want to learn the violin,
art, or horseback riding.

And if you also hate studying
on top of that,

what are you going to become
in the future?

Your dad and I can't take care of you
when you're all grown-up, right?

Are you going
to ask your sister for money?

No.

Okay, fine. I'll study. I will.

Promise me

that you'll never run away
from home again.

You should talk things out with me
regardless of how upset you may be.

Promise me that.

PARK YEONG-JAE

REVENGE, HELL, SOURCE OF PRIDE,
THE RIGHT TO BE A PARENT

What kind of parents raises
a child just so they can boast?

Don't look for me.

With this,

I'm cutting all ties with you two.

Get out of here. Go!

Don't ever come back again.

Do you understand?

Have you gone mad? Are you crazy?

What's wrong with you?
Why are you acting so unusual?

Bring back Ga-eul.

Who are you to kick her out?
You have no right!

She's six years older than you.

She's our housekeeper.

She's uneducated and didn't know better,

but how could I let that slut
stay in my house?

How many times do I need to tell you that
I can't live in this house without her?

Why can't you live without her?
What's so great about her?

Do you even know how I feel?

You stand with your arms crossed
and ask me to get a perfect score!

All you want is a perfect score,
so how would you know how I feel?

How dare you behave this way?

You shouldn't get involved.
I'll stop him. I'll do it.

I'm too embarrassed to even live!

I can't believe you got involved
with a slut like that.

What are you going to do
with a lowlife like her?

Are you going to marry her or what?

"Lowlife"?

If someone's uneducated and poor,
do they need to be called lowlife?

You people are the lowlifes
for looking down on people

who didn't graduate from SNU.

What?

"You people"?

You punk, have you gone crazy?

I told you to stay out of it!

You are so obsessed with SNU's med school.

You don't care what happens to me
or how difficult things are for me.

It doesn't matter as long as
I get into SNU?

Forget it if you're not smart
or competent enough.

I, your grandfather, and all of
your cousins went there, so why can't you?

Where in the world
did this idiot come from?

You are nothing if I just take you out
of our family tree!

Fine, go ahead. Take me out of it.

Go ahead! Do it!

I no longer want to live
in this house anyway.

What?

You don't want to live here?

Follow me.

Yeong-jae!

Why are you being like this?

Why are you throwing a fit
over that worthless slut?

Your finals start in two days.

What if you fail to get
into a specialized high school?

Honey!

Move. I'm going to teach
that punk a lesson today.

Why are you making things worse?
You should try to calm him down.

This is all because of Ga-eul.

We kicked her out,
so things will get better with time.

Move.

Honey, no. Honey. Yeong-jae!

Kneel.

I said, kneel.

Honey, please put that gun away.

Please put the gun away.

How could you disappoint me like this?

I can't believe
that idiotic loser is my son.

Yeong-jae.

You should get on your knees first.

Get on your knees and apologize. Hurry up.

Kneel!

I'd rather live without a son like you.

Are you crazy?

Yeong-jae!

Yeong-jae.

Yeong-jae, look at me.

Yeong-jae, look at me. Are you okay?

Mom.

Please. Please help me.

-Help me.
-Yeong-jae, look at me.

-Look at me.
-Save me.

Yeong-jae. Yeong-jae!

Yeong-jae, wake up.

Yeong-jae. Yeong-jae.

Yeong-jae, wake up.

Yeong-jae!

I thought Yeong-jae had nothing
to do with their problem.

What do you think
wrecked their relationship so badly?

Didn't you say

Yeong-jae was coached for three years?

Coach Kim might know something.

Seo-jin

fired Ms. Kim as a coach once.

Maybe that's because
she read Yeong-jae's diary.

That's possible.

The coach could've influenced
Yeong-jae a lot.

The diary could've spooked her.

Then...

Coach Kim would've known
Yeong-jae wanted revenge, right?

-What are they talking--
-She would have.

Though I doubt

that a teacher
would've kept quiet knowingly.

Su-im.

Can we talk?

What are you blabbing about?

Coach Kim had nothing to do
with Yeong-jae's diary.

Don't be mistaken.

It's incredibly hard to get
into SNU's med school.

Yeong-jae got in with the sole purpose
of getting revenge.

Are you saying his coach didn't know that?

She didn't.

His parents knew nothing.

How could a coach know?

Fine, let's say she didn't know.

It's a fact that
Yeong-jae's mother is dead.

She hired a professional coach

for three years
to get him into medical school.

He got in, then tried to leave his family.

I can't stop thinking

that Coach Kim Ju-yeong
is behind all of this.

-Don't you think so?
-Don't be mistaken.

Yeong-jae's parents are the ones
that caused the tragedy.

They wanted a third-generation doctor
and ignored his well-being,

and that was the reason
behind this tragedy.

Why did you...

fire that coach

shortly after you hired her?

Were you scared by what you read?

Weren't you?

You knew the coach
had influenced Yeong-jae.

Not at all.

Then I'd have fired her for good.

That's why you fired her,

but then your greed got the better of you.

Because she can guarantee
a spot in SNU's med school--

You...

So what?

What does that have to do with you?

Coach Kim doesn't tutor U-ju.

She tutors my daughter.
Why is this your business?

I'm worried about you.

Your greed to make your daughter a doctor
is making you ignore--

I should really rip your jaw open.

How dare you lecture me?

Hey.

Don't worry about me,
and raise your own kid right.

Isn't she a crazy bitch?

What did she teach Yeong-jae
for three years that gave him that idea?

Shouldn't she have
at least told Myeong-ju?

What a heartless bitch.

We also tried to hire her
to teach our kids.

The thought scares me.

It's not just scary!

I wanted to hire her three years from now.

Seo-jin!

-Seo-jin, let's talk.
-Later.

I didn't get your logic
about the convenience store.

It was obviously theft,
but you called it a stress-reliever.

Fine.

Some moms go that far to brag

about their kid being in med school.

I didn't say a word
because I thought you had it figured out.

But what?

You were closer to Myeong-ju
than any of us.

That coach drove Myeong-ju to death
and ruined Yeong-jae's life.

-So what?
-"So what?"

How could you let that woman coach Ye-seo?

You should grab her by the hair
and drag her around,

but instead, you're praising her.

You really disgust me sometimes.

Didn't you say I was making a mistake
for firing her

because she might not coach your son?

That was when I didn't know the story.

Getting into a good school is important,

but how can you
let a family-breaker near your kid?

You said you'd do anything I told you to.

Did you ever see me talk back
to Myeong-ju?

I didn't even step on her shadow.

How dare you talk back to me?

-I'm afraid you'll pay dearly for this.
-Me?

I'll pay dearly for this?

Stop with your pointless worrying
and don't cross the line.

I've noticed that you sometimes
tend to cross the line.

Is she the 38th parallel?
Why can't I cross over?

How annoying.

Can I really trust and follow her?

Why did you...

fire that coach

shortly after you hired her?

Were you scared by what you read?

Weren't you?

You knew the coach
had influenced Yeong-jae.

How could you let that woman coach Ye-seo?

Getting into a good school is important,

but how can you
let a family-breaker near your kid?

No.

There's no problem.

Ye-seo is

not like Yeong-jae.

She's definitely different.

In the mock English exam,
the hard questions that split

the good students
from the best were much more difficult.

Still, Ye-seo got full marks.

She's so good at English,

it's almost a pity
the exam's an absolute evaluation.

She got full marks in math too.

That's because
she has the basic definitions down pat.

Problems that take
other students ten minutes,

Ye-seo solves in less than five.

She got full marks in every other subject,

but the problem is Korean literature.

She never got any
of the difficult questions wrong.

Why does she keep messing up
on a two-point question

that everyone else gets right?

Ye-seo's grammar
and vocabulary are perfect,

but she often lets her own opinion
cloud her judgment in the exam.

You said the same thing
after the mid-term exam.

I apologize.
We'll get full marks next time.

And her extra-curricular activities?

Last month, she visited Orthopedics
at Junam University hospital.

She observed a surgery

and took a lecture

on how to write a paper in medicine.

This month she will visit

Neurosurgery and the CT scan theater.

She also volunteers every weekend
at a nursing home.

Of course, she hands in
regular written reports.

Thanks to Mr. Jo,
I've been winning all the awards.

I won the grand prize
in the book report contest.

I also won gold
at the Young Scholars' Conference.

The results from the science competition
aren't out yet,

but I'm sure I'll win again.

We'll start preparing
for the final exams tomorrow.

I want you all to submit
a study plan for each subject.

And needless to say,
your goal should be...

getting perfect scores.

If you make one more mistake...

Three strikes and you're out.

Please don't worry, sir.

It was just a mistake.

I'll be sure to get perfect scores
next time.

Are you embarrassed in front of Ye-seo?

Having Ye-seo sit in

every time we analyze
her exam results is a little--

Don't kid yourselves.

You're mere trainers, not teachers.

No student respects you as teachers,

and no parent respects you
as their children's teachers.

Only the outcome...

can prove your value.

Do you all understand?

-Yes, ma'am.
-Yes, ma'am.

Ye-seo, let's go to the meditation room.

You got the highest score
on both the midterms and the mock test.

Are you satisfied?

Of course, I've never missed out
on being the top student.

That's not true.

Hye-na beat you this time.

I came in first place
and Hye-na came in second.

Right, you did come in first place.

You lost a two-point question,
whereas she lost a three-point one.

However, you had
the overwhelming advantage over her.

The teachers went over the questions
from the past years

as well as all the expected questions.

We also did countless exam simulations.

You should've gotten perfect scores.

You beat her only by one point,

yet you smile?

Are you satisfied?

Even though she lost to you by one point,

she has more independence, creativity,

better leadership skills, and friends.

In every aspect...

she surpasses you.

I'm certain that she'll become
the school president.

Your mom is doing everything
in her power to support you,

but her mom is bedridden in hospital.

She's looking after her mom.

Who'd win if you two got to compete
in the same environment?

Hye-na would.

I guarantee that you'd lose.

You're home, sweetheart.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

I don't know. I'm so annoyed.
Coach Kim is weird.

She told me to give up
on being the school president.

Who's Kim Ju-yeong?

Her homeroom teacher?

No, an instructor at her academy.

Then take her advice.

She's dissuading you from it
to make sure you're not distracted.

Honey, things are different these days.

What's so different?

Don't even think about helping her

get elected just so you can
get more involved in school affairs.

And you, just study hard.

You don't even have time to sleep.
School president? Forget it.

Gosh, I'm so annoyed.

That rude brat.
You don't deserve to be elected.

Having one or two more achievements

on her student record can make
or break her college admission.

Experience as school president
is considered

the most basic extracurricular activity.

You don't know anything.

Goodness.

Why do extracurricular activities matter?

She just has to get good grades.

Why does it have to be so complicated?

Why did she tell you to give up on it?

Coach Kim is so weird.

She said Hye-na will be elected.
That Kim Hye-na.

Without even trying?

Gosh, she made a mistake.

Right, Mom? I'm baffled.

How does she know
when I haven't even tried?

Exactly.

By the way, do you have a running mate?

Well...

not yet.

I heard U-ju is very popular at school.

How about U-ju?

Running with U-ju will
increase your chances of getting elected.

Well...

I'll ask him.

Honey!

Honey, don't you have to go to work?

Jin Jin.

Honey, what's wrong?

Jin Jin.

What's wrong, Dad?

-Help me put my pants on.
-What?

I can't bend down.
I have a shooting pain down my legs.

Oh, my goodness.
So the injection isn't helping?

Dad, does it hurt a lot?

Don't worry, son. I won't die.

Goodness, you're such a wimp
just like your dad.

Su-han, he'll be fine
after he gets his surgery.

Dad, I heard that U-ju's dad
is a great surgeon.

Can't you get him to do your surgery?

Son, that simply won't happen.

-Why not?
-I'm a professor of orthopedics.

How could I get surgery
from a professor of neurosurgery?

Why not? Why can't you?

Every patient has the right
to get surgery from a good surgeon.

Stop spewing nonsense.
If Dr. Kang finds out--

You're a doctor.

You'll go into that operating room
just to not get on his bad side?

Do you want to end up like Dr. Song?

He had to get surgery three times.

Gosh, what should I do?

What do you think?
You can't grovel at his feet all the time.

It's your body. Your health, okay?

Watch it. My back.

Gosh, what do we do?
You and your back. My gosh, honey.

You need to get surgery.

This part is sticking out, see?

It's one of the symptoms of fibromyalgia.

If injections aren't helping
even after two months, you need surgery.

When should we do it?

Dr. Kang, you have a lot of operations
scheduled for this week.

You have five each day.

Doing one more won't kill me.

The other day,
I operated on seven patients.

I asked you when you want to get it.

Sorry?

Well.

I have my own schedule too, you know.

I have appointments
with my patients as well.

There's no need to rush,
so just let me know when's good for you.

Or...

we can get it done quickly
during our lunch break.

"Quickly"?

He's not in a good condition.

What did Dr. Kang say?
Did he say he'd do your surgery?

Why don't you go
and speak with Chief Hwang?

I heard he's an amazing surgeon.

All his patients praise him highly.

You idiot, have you lost your mind?

I'm an orthopedic specialist.
What? Go speak with who?

Gosh, you're clueless.

Is there a law that states

orthopedic specialists can't be treated
by other specialists?

Every patient should do his research
and find the best surgeon.

Hey!

You punk, watch your mouth.

How dare you compare such a skilled
spine specialist to Hwang Chi-yeong?

Then get it from that skilled specialist.
Why are you so scared?

"Scared"?

Who's scared?

Come here, you punk. Come here!

-Hey, gosh.
-Be careful.

The chair.

I'm dizzy.

I'll check it again.

Dr. Woo, are you in pain?

Oh, no.

Not at all.

I'm completely fine.

You don't seem fine. You're limping.

I just

drank too much last night.

I tend to limp a little
when I drink a lot.

When did the pain in your leg begin?

I told you it's from drinking.

I said I'm fine.

That's a relief.

I said I'm okay.
You really should stop asking!

That hurts.

If it's this bad,
your back must have hurt a lot.

Dr. Kang suggested conservative treatment,
so I took medicine and even got six shots.

Herniated disks

can cause back pain,

but 80 percent of patients

are healed naturally in one or two months.

However, if the pain is still severe
even after you got the shots,

I think it'd be better for you
to get surgery.

How am I going to get surgery?

A couple of years ago,

I got surgery on my left eye
because of retinal detachment.

And once I became a patient myself,

I learned that it's very important
to trust your doctor.

You should trust Dr. Kang and get surgery.

You're right.

The most important thing is
to trust your doctor. That's very true.

It's really important. It really is.

But you perform...

endoscopic surgeries, don't you?

I heard your incisions are only 7mm big.

Dr. Kang's incisions
are probably only 2 to 3cm big.

But still,

there's a huge difference
between 7mm and 3cm.

Don't worry.

People think using high-tech equipment
such as lasers

and endoscopes for herniated disk
surgeries will be safer.

But that's all a misunderstanding.

But you're a veteran when it comes
to minimally invasive surgery.

Perhaps...

do you want me to...

No, that's not it. Gosh, no.

I'm just saying.

I should get my surgery done
by Dr. Kang, of course.

Dr. Kang is a skilled spine doctor.

Whatever you decide to do,
just think about your health first.

That's what's most important.

This tea is good for pain relief.

She's turned it into a playroom.

A playroom.

Where did she put my pyramid?

Where did you put my pyramid?

I put it in your study

since it belongs to you.

Why did you put it in my study?

I put it there so that the kids could be
motivated by it!

Take a seat.

It's time for dinner.

Are you done protesting...

with cup noodles?

I tore down that soundproof room
without discussing it with you first.

I recorded what you said

and made you lose your authority
as a father. That's my fault.

I'd like to apologize sincerely,
so please sit down.

You should stop...

with the weekly living expenses, honey.

What made you suddenly change your mind?

You seemed pretty determined to feed me

cup noodles every day
throughout the entire year.

The only bad thing
about receiving weekly living expenses

is that it's annoying.

But making you eat cup noodles for every
meal is directly connected to your health.

I'm sure it must be exhausting to
do lectures and teach the twins at home.

I realized that it was wrong of me.

Gosh, it took you quite a while
to realize that.

That's your problem.

You're always one step too late.

You don't know

why Yeong-jae's mom made
such an extreme decision, do you?

See you.

Ye-bin. Su-han.

Ms. Lee.

You guys came across my mind
while I was nearby doing some research.

Ye-bin, you were upset with me,
weren't you?

I was a little upset at the time.

But come to think of it,
you had no choice but to do that.

Ye-bin, you have such a big heart.

-What's she talking about?
-You don't need to know, you punk.

Ms. Lee, did you start
gathering information?

Yes.

There's something I want to write about,
so I'm going to start writing.

You guys both know Yeong-jae, don't you?

Were you guys close to him?

He used to be really nice to us.
He's a good singer as well.

Anyway, he's a great guy.

Do you remember

-Yeong-jae's favorite song?
-"The Island Boy"?

The atmosphere turned really awkward
every time he whistled that song.

Why? I liked it.

I also liked Ga-eul's version of the song.

Do you want a refill?

Ga-eul?

Who's Ga-eul?

She's the daughter
of the in-house housekeeper

that used to live at Yeong-jae's.

She was really close to Yeong-jae.

So I'm sure he was pretty shocked
when she suddenly disappeared.

Really?

Where do you think he is,
and what do you think he's doing?

Haven't you tried calling him?

He doesn't answer my calls
and ignores my texts.

My gosh.

Do you think he contacted that teacher?

What teacher?

He told me she's the only person
that he can actually talk to.

That kind of disaster only happened
because they just paid Coach Kim

and trusted her way too much
with their son.

Am I the same as Yeong-jae's dad,
who was indifferent about his education?

Am I?

Being overly interested is also a problem.

I'm worried that you and the kids
might end up cutting ties

like Yeong-jae and his parents
as you teach them.

So what exactly is your point?

Are you telling me
to stop caring about their education?

No, I'm just suggesting that
you take a different approach.

They say parents used to
teach their neighbor's kids

instead of their own

because their relationship
with their children might get ruined

if they keep pressuring their kids.

Even if...

my kids end up hating me
and want to get revenge later on,

once they get into SNU,

I'm sure they'll end up thanking me
later on in their lives.

Honey,

U-ju didn't even make it
to the top 20 on his exams.

But his parents didn't say anything,
and he came in third on his mock test.

-There's no use in parents--
-U-ju?

He was gifted with good genes.

He was born smart.

Look at Se-ri.

Have you ever seen me teach her
the way I teach our twins?

I'd leave them be if they took after me.

But look at Gi-jun's and Seo-jun's grades.

I wonder who they take after
to barely get Level Two in school.

How can I just leave them be
when they were born stupid?

I need to pressure them
and squeeze more out of them.

Honey, can you please be more tenacious?

Parents need to be strong-minded

in order to help their kids
lead successful lives.

I'm worried that you and the kids
might end up cutting ties

like Yeong-jae and his parents
as you teach them.

What's weird?

I told you something was off when that
convenience store thing happened.

It was so obvious. That feels nice.

Right?

Seo-jin's nothing compared to Myeong-ju.

She thinks she can control

the woman who got Myeong-ju killed.

She doesn't stand a chance.
I bet this will all backfire.

So what?

Are you switching sides now?

It depends.

If the timing is right,
I'll switch over quickly.

Why stay on a train
that might go off the rails?

That's stupid.

Jin Jin.

Please don't forget just one thing.

Kang Jun-sang lords over me.

He might crush me to death.

You're so faint-hearted.

-You have no guts.
-Hey.

Why are you so scared?

I'll tell you this again.
Don't go to Jun-sang for your surgery.

You got that?

I got it.

-There's a lot. I should go.
-Get going.

The Medics.

Take this with you.

-My gosh.
-Hey.

Thanks.

Hey. I need to ask...

a difficult question.

-What is it?
-What is it?

There are two doctors.

One is Doctor A,

and the other is Doctor A+.

Doctor A looks down on you
like you're nothing.

Doctor A+ is an amazingly skilled surgeon

and also manages to comfort his patients.

If you needed to get surgery,
who would you go to?

I'll choose Chief Hwang.

You brat, do you want to die?

Who said A+ was Chief Hwang?

Did I say I wanted to go to Chief Hwang?

Do you think I'm doing this
because I want him to do my surgery?

Hey.

Even if Chief Kang
looks at us like we're chewed gum,

we shouldn't be like that.

We must be loyal.

How can I go to Chief Hwang?

What if word gets out?

What would our department look like?

A mess.

Which idiot just said...

Dr. Kang.

Do you want Chief Hwang to operate on you?

No, that's nonsense. I wouldn't dare.

I heard he's very skilled.

The Rehabilitation Department
can't praise him enough.

His patients' prognoses are so good
that their jobs are made easier.

Go to him.

It's not like that.

I have no intention of going to him,

but Chief Hwang keeps sweet-talking me.

He sweet-talked you?

Hwang Chi-yeong sweet-talked you?

I deserve to die, Dr. Kang.

You don't. Well done.

Good luck with your surgery.

Dr. Kang.

Dr. Kang.

Hwang Chi-yeong, you scumbag.

You enticed one of my staff?

He dared to step up to the plate?

That's what I mean.

Dr. Kang, join us.

Dr. Kang.

Dr. Kang...

Hello.

JUNAM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

I feel like I have a white tiger
on my right and blue dragon on my left.

I feel so reassured to have

two great doctors by my side.

You flatter me.

Thank you, sir.

We only just opened the spine center.

Dr. Kang, help out as much
as you can. Okay?

Yes.

Of course.

Dr. Hwang, isn't your son running

for the school president?

He can't without a running mate,
so he's busy looking for a partner.

Whatever it may be,
it's best to have a title.

The position makes the person, you know.

When Dr. Kang refused
to be the chief of the new center,

I was so disheartened.

Oh, right.

Didn't you say your daughter
goes to the same school as his son?

Yes. The prestigious Shin A High School.

She's the first in her...

In her...

In her year. Say it, you fool.

My goodness.

Are you okay, Dr. Woo?

You should be careful prior to surgery.

What? "Prior to surgery"?

He said that for me to hear, didn't he?

He says you should be careful
prior to surgery.

Poor me.

Dr. Kang.

Don't be mistaken.

Yeong-jae's parents are the ones
that brought about the tragedy.

It was Yeong-jae's parents?

He told me she was the only person
that he could actually talk to.

Was it because of the coach?

This was...

a gift Myeong-ju gave to me
shortly before she died.

My husband told me to throw it away,

so I had to leave it here.

How do you think a suicidal mom felt

when she bought a mother-and-child statue?

It breaks my heart.

WHO KILLED THAT WOMAN?

I know you desperately want
to improve your student record,

but you're really trying hard.

You study, nurse your sick mom.

And now you want
to become the school president too?

You're getting quite greedy.

Mr. Oh.

It's not greed.

I want to run
because there's something I want to do.

I see.

What do you want to do?

Abolish the elite class.

What?

You could get into real trouble for that.

We don't have an elite class.

It's called the intensive reading class,

but you know it's an elite class.

You put the smart kids
with nice backgrounds in the elite class.

You favor those kids
and give awards and whatnot.

Do you think the kids don't know?

My gosh.

You tip them off
about upcoming school competitions

and give them the awards.

Should the others just play second fiddle?

High schools may have become factories
churning out university students,

but I can't stand teachers
breaking the rules

so blatantly.

Ms. Kim, will you really
do nothing about her?

-What should I do then?
-What?

Should I blatantly break the rules
so she can't run for the election?

Hye-na.

You may leave.

Because you side with her like that,

that rude girl
doesn't even know her place!

U-ju, will you be my running mate?

Ye-seo. Kang Ye-se. Is he a big deal?

Don't be intimidated.
You can do it. Let's go.

Hwang U-ju!

Do you want to be my running mate
for the election?

I'll be the president,
and you can be vice-president.

Of course,

you can run for president if you'd like.

I can run for vice-president.

I'm sorry.

I have someone I want to run with.

I hope you do well in the election.

Hye-na!

How's the school president election going?

Is Ye-seo running for it?

Why do you ask?

-I'll take care of it, so just--
-Tell her to do it.

What?

Tell her to do it

and crush Hwang Chi-yeong's son.

Tell her she must trample all over him
and get elected no matter what.

What's the matter? Did something happen?

That scumbag.

Does he think I'm a big joke or what?

He snatched that chief position.

And now, he's stepping up
to do the surgery.

What do you mean
he's stepping up for the surgery?

Do I really have to say this?

You know why I asked to meet up, right?

I'm not sure. How would I know

if you don't tell me?

Don't you have something to say to me?

Then I'll think whatever I want.

Wait, did you want to see me
because of my husband's surgery?

I know that Dr. Kang thinks
of Yang-u as his brother.

I'm also aware that Yang-u getting surgery

from Chief Hwang would make him look bad.

But let's say Dr. Kang
needs surgery on his shoulder.

Would he get it from Yang-u
no matter what?

Without asking around
to find the best surgeon?

These days, patients look around
for the best doctor.

Just accept it, okay?

This is going to make me sound crude,
so I wasn't going to say it.

You know that my mother-in-law
and the chairman's wife

do volunteer work together, right?

I do, of course.

I also know that your father-in-law
was the chairman's doctor.

Listen up.

It takes a long time
to win someone's favor,

but you can lose it all in a flash.

Just like dust that blows away.

Just accept it.

Good night, Seo-jin.

I hope you get plenty of sleep!

Honey.

Honey.

What?

I think you should just

get the surgery from Dr. Kang.

He's not a quack, you know.

What? What are you talking about?

Just get the surgery from Ye-seo's dad.

Even if you end up like Dr. Song,

just accept it as your fate
and come to terms with it.

What?

"Fate"?

Woman, how could you say that?

I know that he lost the chief position,

but he's well-connected.

What if he becomes the director later?
Will you be able to work under him?

If you get kicked out of the hospital,

we'll have to leave Sky Castle.

You have to choose sides wisely.

Is that more important
than my back to you?

Yes, it is!

Hye-na, will you
really get rid of the elite class?

-Yes, for real.
-Is that so?

Then I'll vote for you.

I think you'll be a lot better
than a girl who has a coach,

whom she consults for every single thing.

Then I'll vote for you as well.

Let me know if you need help
with your campaign.

-Move.
-What's her problem?

Mom.

Seo-jun and Gi-jun.

-We're off.
-Bye.

Kim Hye-na?

What are you talking about now?

You don't even pay a penny
for the tutoring sessions

you're getting with Do-hoon and Seong-jae.

Do you know how much they cost?

On top of that,
I give you a million won a month.

And what? You want to double the money?

Then,

can you triple it?

Look at this brat.

I'm risking my future

to take the performance assessments
for him.

Do-hoon was dozing off
during the English assessment today.

You know that I'll also get expelled
if we get caught, right?

You want to call us even with just
a million won for such a huge risk?

Look at you.

You're so manipulative.

I'm only helping you out
because I feel bad for you.

How dare you try to cut a deal?

I didn't know that you were
such a compassionate person.

-Then give me three million.
-Hey!

From now on, even essay-type questions
will be included.

Then the assessments

will take up 50 percent
for Korean Literature, English, and Math.

Will you be okay without me?

Let's end this if you don't like my offer.

CASHIER'S CHECK, 1,000,000 WON

Gosh, my goodness. Hey!

That wench.

Hey! Hey, wait.

Okay, fine.

I'm sorry. I apologize.

But please do a perfect job
on Do-hoon's assessments, okay?

To be honest with you,

Ye-seo has no chance
of becoming the school president.

The students will be voting.

Do you actually think
anyone will vote for her?

That's why we have you.

Ms. Han, it's my job to come up
with the best strategy for her.

Obsessing over what is impossible
is simply a waste of time and energy.

Founding and running the school club is
enough to showcase her leadership skills.

Ye-seo...

really wants to beat Hye-na.

And my husband and I

want Ye-seo to become
the school president.

That's why I'm telling you this.

Instead of asking for a favor.

Understood.

I'll be counting on you, then.

Please take good care of Ye-seo.

I'll be off, then.

Goodbye.

What brings you here?

Seo-jin, I've come to ask you for a favor.

You have Coach Kim Ju-yeong's...

contact information, right?

I should've introduced myself
to you sooner, Mr. Park.

I'm Kim Ju-yeong.

CASHIER'S CHECK, 1,000,000 WON

WHO KILLED THAT WOMAN?

Kim Ju-yeong? Her name is Kim Ju-yeong?

We have to make Ye-seo
the school president.

Coach Kim said she'll help?

U-ju will be running with Hye-na.

I heard everyone is saying that
they'll vote for Hye-na.

Can you make her back out?

You want to meet
Coach Kim Ju-yeong in person?

A tragedy happened right here.

Someone has to ask, don't you think?

She's collecting information
to write a novel.

About Yeong-jae?

More than a dozen times a day,

I wanted to kill a woman
named Kim Ju-yeong.

This kind of misery must end with my son.
