NOVEMBER 16TH, 1998 D-2 TO SATS

YOUR NETWORK HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED

Shit.

God damn, who picked up the phone?

Well, considering the joint chiefs of staff is getting involved,

you'll have to look into it yourself, Major Lee.

Check on this and call me back.

Should I have fried rice? I haven't had it in a while.

Excuse me, can we get one fried rice and one ganjjajang , please?

Why did you just order it without asking me?

What do you want?

I want jjamppong .

Some water too, please.

Sure.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-What are you going to do after the SAT? -Why do you ask?

Come see me.

I see you every day. Why should I?

I have something for you.

I'll see you at 8 p.m. on the school field after the SAT.

Why? Is there something special coming up?

Yes.

It's a special day for me.

What are you saying?

YOUR NETWORK HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED

Shit. Who the fuck...

We've been called for an emergency meeting.

Your line was busy, so I was going to drop by in person.

Dad.

I think you misplaced your receiver.

He's my college friend.

He's helping out my campaign.

Say hi to them.

These are my students from when I was teaching.

Hello.

He is my little brother.

Hi, I heard a lot about you.

I heard you help him a lot.

Hope you guys can work together well.

I also heard a lot about you as well.

I know your brother is really proud of you Judge Yoon.

Goodness.

His wife will be jealous if she hears this.

Also, this is my lovely...

Can you please turn up the volume?

The presidential election is in 200 days,

so we conducted a public survey

According to the survey we did 200 days before the election,

43 percent of a total number of voters voted for Tae-woong Yoon

which puts him in the lead.

-Yes. -My goodness.

-Winter of 2012. -You're the best!

My brother's election day is coming.

In 1998, 14 years ago on the same day,

we were all preparing ourselves for our own special day too.

in our own way

EPISODE 8

EBS FOREIGN LANGUAGE SECTION

How much is it again?

-It's 50,000 won. -What? 50,000 won?

I could buy a new tape with that.

Even the vendor at the flea market doesn't ask for that much.

Hey, do you even know what this is?

This

is not an ordinary tape.

Jamón Jamón .

Out of Jamón Jamón ,

scenes like these were all compiled

for 18 minutes and 50 seconds. Do you know the movie Monella ?

"Don't try to look. I'll show you later."

Feisty bike rider Monella ,

Out of Monella ,

we compiled clips of porn

to make up 24 minutes and 18 seconds.

All right, this is the highlight of it.

The Tits and the Moon .

Tete desires the tit to be solely his.

It's an erotic movie!

We only selected the best scenes out of The Tit and the Moon

which amounts to 17 minutes and 43 seconds.

That makes a total of 60 minute and 51 seconds.

All the men would be crazy over this.

These scenes will make you jump.

We didn't cheap out. It's 60 minutes and 51 seconds!

Mr. Do, the master of pornography

specially made this for those studying for the SAT in 1999.

It's a limited edition!

On top of that,

These disks contain the erotic photos that he downloaded from the internet.

But we will just give them to you for free.

Hey guys, come over. You can come too. I have more.

These are masterpieces. Okay?

Did he really edit them?

THE TITS AND THE MOON

Where are you going to spend all this money on?

I'm going to buy Yu-jung a gift.

You're going to use the money you made from selling porn

to buy your girlfriend a gift?

That's an interesting way for money to circulate in the economy.

Jeez.

DONGA DICTIONARY

How can you sleep right now? Get up.

Is everyone gone?

Donga dictionary is the best for a pillow when you sleep at school.

The one from Elite is too thick to use as a pillow

and the plastic cover on Essence sticks on your face annoyingly.

What should I do?

Just give up.

It's too late.

It's not that.

Hak-chan wants me to come over to his place after the SATs.

To his house?

It would be late at night once we are done.

What do you think he wants?

Does he want to sleep?

-I can't. -Of course not, you fool.

I'm on my period.

Were you going to do it otherwise?

-Yes. -Great.

You're really bold.

You're too young to have sex When did you get so cheeky?

What do I do?

Just tell him you're on your period so you can't do it.

I can't. I'm sure he's looking forward to it.

I can't tell him no matter what.

Kids these days...

I thought Hak-chan was innocent,

but he's a troublemaker. What a punk.

This is so annoying!

It's a special day for me.

Why did both dates have to overlap?

Jeez. My goodness.

Oh man, the exam is going to be finally over soon.

Let's go to the karaoke after the SATs tomorrow.

I heard there's a hot place in Seomyeon.

I have plans.

-Me too. -Me too.

Hey. Am I a loner here?

Don't you have someone to hang out with? Maybe your family?

We're too old to hang out with family.

Let's go to karaoke. The girls are really hot there.

I can't. I'm meeting my girlfriend.

I have somewhere to go today. I even got my bus tickets.

Jun-hee, don't you ditch me too.

Let's go together.

I promised my family we would go for dinner.

All of my older sisters are coming too.

All of them? How many are there?

There are eight of them.

Goodness. Are you serious?

To be honest, I don't want to go. They nag too much.

Then, you should go to karaoke with me.

If we sing a Deux song, all the girls will faint in front of us.

Come on.

I don't want to go to karaoke. Let's go to the movies instead.

Are you messing with me?

Come on, I'll treat you well.

-Hello. -Hello.

Hey. Are you all ready for the test?

-Yes. -Yes.

What's there to prepare? We should always be humble.

That's how one prepares for it.

Okay.

You all worked hard for it. Good luck with your test tomorrow.

-Yes. -Thank you.

Good luck, sir!

Why is our math teacher being so nice to us all of a sudden?

It makes me feel awkward.

Maybe he felt sorry for us.

He looks like a different person with smile.

He actually looks pretty good today.

Good? He looks like a German Shepherd with the pointy eyes.

He has a pretty mean face, right?

Yoon-jae Yoon.

Pardon? Me?

Yes. Come here.

We talked so quietly. Did he hear us?

He must have heard.

You've become bold. You're calling me up at school now?

Your SAT is tomorrow. I don't care if people find out now.

You forgot to unplug the iron after you ironed your uniform, right?

-Did I? -Jeez.

Did you not apply any ointment for your pimple?

Jeez.

You need to listen to me.

Is it obvious?

I think it will leave a scar.

Give it to me. I'll share with my friends.

It's not for you.

It's for Si-won.

It will keep her wide awake during the test tomorrow.

I'm afraid it will just make her fall into food coma.

Here. It's cassia seed tea. It should keep you awake.

Did you make it yourself?

Then, who would make it?

Tae-woong, would you marry me?

Let's get married.

No way. Why would I like someone crazy like you?

You never know. People think I'm pretty cute.

Come on, Tae-woong.

Good luck with your test tomorrow.

Even if you got a special admission, you need to have minimum marks.

You know it would be embarrassing if they withdraw their offer, right?

I'm not an idiot.

I will drink this and be wide awake to answer all the questions on the exam.

Do you have anything you want to do after your test tomorrow?

-Do you want me to buy you something? -Really?

Is there something you want?

Buy me a beer.

-Beer? -Yes.

Do you want to drink?

Not really. I just want to go to a bar.

All right.

Really? Are you going to buy me drinks?

But, they'll probably check my ID, won't they?

I'll talk to them. However, it's just one beer.

We'll see.

You'd better go home. Your mom must be waiting.

She made kimbap for dinner. She wants us home early.

Let's go together.

I need to finish some work. You go first.

Right, I promised Yoon-jae I would see him tomorrow.

-What time? -At 8 p.m.

Is that so? Then, send me a message on my beeper. I will wait.

-Okay. See you later. -Bye.

You are too cool. Who would think he is the top of the class?

You're the only one playing StarCraft instead of studying for the SATs.

Are you sending two workers on reconnaissance?

He must have plenty of minerals to waste.

It's all about reconnaissance in StarCraft.

You're so harsh. You won't give them any room.

What? How did you beat him?

I know his weakness.

Do you know this player?

Yes, it's my brother.

Chan-ho Park is such a patriot.

There's no doubt about it.

If he gets a gold medal this year and wins at least 18 times in the next season.

the whole country will go nuts for his victory.

Honey.

Did you get a new job in kimbap catering? You make it so much.

Boys will eat it if it's there.

the Korean SAT is on tomorrow. It's for Yoon-jae and Si-won.

They love kimbap.

No one will believe me.

if I tell people that all my salary goes into grocery shopping for my kids.

Do we have any beer?

I don't know why I always crave for beer whenever I see kimbap.

Honey, didn't you say you would go see students today?

No. I went to Pusan High School yesterday.

I'll visit Kyungnam High School the day after tomorrow.

I'd better look high and low

if I want to find a real gem like Chan-ho.

By the way,

You know Doosan coach whose eyes look weird,

he's thinking of getting one of his pitchers who could potentially

be as good as Chan-ho Park to turn into a hitter instead.

I heard Jung-tae Park's nephew or whoever

can throw a fastball at a speed of 150km per hour with his left hand.

But his coach had him practice batting to make him a batter because he believes

that he can make it to the major leagues as a batter.

Major leagues isn't Disneyland. It's not like you can just choose to go or not.

Don't give kids false hope.

You should train him to be the best pitcher in Korea.

Do you think so?

Of course. You know how sharp my eyes are.

Trust me.

Goodness. Hey!

Put the bat down!

Tell Geun-ho to take over.

Go back in and wait. All right?

Okay.

SHIN-SOO CHOO

Anyway, keep on looking.

Who would've thought a Korean would be playing in the major leagues?

Exactly. Maybe after a while,

there might be someone playing in the premier leagues.

Come on.

Why not say that we will go to semi-finals in World Cup?

I went too far ahead.

Anyway,

is Si-won home?

Si-won! Go get some beer.

Do you take after Yoon-jae,

or does Yoon-jae take after you?

Here, eat it. Come on.

Do you hate red beans too?

You're just like him.

Don't give him sweets. It's bad for dogs.

Your big brother is really worried about you.

Hey, call him your brother.

Stop bothering Jjanggu. You'll go to hell.

Does it look like I'm bothering him? I love Jjanggu.

If the owner wasn't there, I want to take him home and raise him.

Don't you care about what he thinks? He would want to live with someone pretty.

You always ask for it. You deserve it.

Bring that with you.

Shall we go drink somewhere?

Where have you been all day?

Why? Did you wait for me?

-Do you think I would have? -No.

Right.

You remember about tomorrow, right?

You better not forget it. It's 8 p.m. at the field.

What is it about? Just give it to me now.

I can't.

Today is D-1. D-day is tomorrow.

Just wait for a day.

Also...

good luck for the test tomorrow.

Sheesh. When did you prepare such a thing?

Is it taffy? Are you giving me taffy for good luck?

-Enjoy them. -Thank you.

-What about me? -What?

Where are you going?

Here.

What is this?

Can't you tell? It's an "S".

It stands for Seoul National University's "S".

Where did you get it?

I saw a Sonata 3 over there.

I gave you a gift too, okay?

Good luck with the test, puppy Yoon-jae.

What?

Hey, should we do a toast?

What for?

For your D-day.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

NOVEMBER 18TH, 1998. D-DAY

I was scared and I wanted to run away.

It was also the day I was counting down to.

Our d-day has started.

Tae-woong, I'm leaving.

Yoon-jae.

Yoon-jae, you have worked so hard.

Great job.

What?

Get off of me. It's disgusting.

Goodness.

My daughter.

-Si-won. -Yes?

-Listen carefully. -Okay.

The ratio is seven to three.

Luck is seven, and effort is three.

No matter what, don't trust your brain.

Our family is all about luck, okay?

Thank you. It's such an encouragement.

Thank you.

It's cold. I'm going in.

Good luck, okay?

What was that?

Whatever.

MATHEMATICS SAT TEST HALL FOR 1999 ENROLLMENT

Hot

The best!

Yu-na Kim spent 12 years on ice rink for her show that only lasts

four minutes and ten seconds at the Olympics.

For the SAT,

we also waited 12 years. We raced towards the finishing line

and worked hard to prepare for it.

November 18th, 1998.

Our special day was passing by.

Mr. Yoon, are you packing up already?

Since I'm the homeroom teacher for the senior class, I'm done with work.

I'd better get ready to leave.

True.

I believe you're meant for bigger things.

Teaching kids is probably one of the most important jobs.

I'll come visit often.

Please do.

We will always welcome you.

Good job.

Hey, Is the answer for question four in listening test three or half past three?

Come on, hurry up.

Hey, is the answer for question 46 "darkness is dangerous"?

Here are the answers.

Bye.

-I'm leaving too. -Bye.

Shall we get going as well to flirt with chicks?

Jeez.

Goodness.

The day has finally come.

What do I do?

What do you think?

Just tell him the truth. Tell him you can't do it today.

Hak-chan is from Seoul, where all the girly boys are so he is sensitive.

Just drop the line at the right time.

Just tell him today is not good, and maybe another time.

I'm sure he'll get the message then.

He will get it, right?

Of course.

What a shame.

You dirty bitch.

Am I?

-Get off me. -Am I?

-Get off. -Am I really?

-Get off of me. -No, I won't.

TO YANGSAN

Hey!

Grandpa.

You're adorable.

-Yoon-jae! -Come here.

TWO MONTHS AGO

Do we look alike?

What about him?

This one looks like me, right?

I think your eyes are key.

Do you have any dog that looks like me?

ONE MONTH AGO

Sir, I like this one.

That one's already taken by someone else.

He's leaving tomorrow.

Do you have one that looks like him?

He is the last one.

How about a chicken?

I will give you four of them for 10,000 won.

No!

Seriously!

It has to be that dog!

Goodness.

Then, go and see this guy.

He's the one who gave me the puppy. He told me he has many more.

He should at least have one or two more.

Please, sir. Give it to me.

I'll take good care of it.

I told you no.

I sold all of them and this is the last one.

ONE WEEK AGO

I already sent one away.

I live for raising this cute little puppy.

I'm sorry. I can't sell it to you.

I left the cutest one for myself.

Can I just buy you a cuter one?

Fine. Then come take him a week later.

I'll make sure he gets his shots.

Thank you so much.

Yoon-jae, It won't take long.

I'll come to get you soon.

ONE WEEK LATER, DAY OF THE SATS

Have you been well?

He looks like me, right?

Yes, you look alike.

Did you want him that badly?

He's going to be a gift.

For your girlfriend?

Yes.

I'm going to give him to her and ask her to be my girlfriend.

Then did you look for one that looks like you on purpose?

Yes.

When it's cold, she can carry him close to her.

When he grows up, he'll get that big. What will you do then?

Then we'll get a leash and take him around.

I don't have a leash,

but I'm no different from a dog.

What?

Is that so?

MIN-GU DO

This way.

-Give me your coat. -What?

What?

Right. Okay.

Hold this.

I'll do it.

Okay, sorry.

It's okay.

-Here. -Okay.

Sit down.

-Okay. -Okay.

Which is the front?

I want to show you

The world

But we're running out of time

Why do the heavens want to take you?

You're just a kind person

I just...

Why won't the heavens take you?

It's a big question mark.

Did you come here to sing?

I'm going on a reconnaissance. Stay right here, okay?

Goodness.

-Trust me, let's stay together -Trust me, let's stay together

-Because I'm your love -Because I'm your love

Hold me babe

I'm starting to look a lot like you

Last forever...

My heart.

We have nuclear bombs in South Korea now.

-You were different from the start -You were different from the start

-It was as if I knew you already -It was as if I knew you already

Shake, shake, shake it baby

-You're my everything, you have it wrong -You're my everything, you have it wrong

-I hope you would trust me -I hope you would trust me

Before this hour, hour, hour passes

Before my heart, heart, heart

-Before this hour, hour, hour passes -Before this hour, hour, hour passes

-Bring up the courage to come back to me -Bring up the courage to come back to me

-Before my heart, heart, heart -Before my heart, heart, heart

-Changes minds -Changes minds

-I want to be a Mr. Lee -I want to be a Mr. Lee

Tell me, tell me the truth

Tell me what you're really feeling

If you really love me, tell me how much

Show me how you really feel

Hey you, do you only think about yourself?

If that's what you want to do, stop

I love you more than you think Even though you still doubt me

I promised you many times I live within you

What else can I do? I wish you would just accept me

It's so suffocating How will I persuade you?

I'm always serious I think about it over and over every day

Your love is so heartless My heart is crying

My life is meaningless without you I wish you would accept me

Ladies, do you want to hang out together?

Ma'am, can you switch it over?

I hate the fact I can't

Do anything...

What is this?

-I'm your doll -I'm your doll

Why didn't you realize?

Why did you make me cry? You couldn't say a thing

-Also, I resented you for it -Also, I resented you for it

It's cold. Go back in.

Where are you going?

Did you buy a car?

Yes.

Didn't you know?

You didn't tell me.

Didn't I?

Get in. I'll give you a ride.

Jeez.

Goodness.

I have to tell him right now.

I'm running out of time.

Do you want to wear something more comfortable? You can wear my sister's.

No.

No. It's okay.

It's okay.

What?

Your awkward tricks won't work on me

Please hang in there

Warm touches and warm looks

I might just fall for you

- Why did it have to be me - Why did it have to be me

- Out of all those women? - Out of all those women?

- You're my sea, you're my sky - You're my sea, you're my sky

- Just fall asleep with me in your arms - Just fall asleep with me in your arms

- You're my sea, you're my sky - You're my sea, you're my sky

- I love you -I love you

- Just stay by my side - Just stay by my side

Yes.

Ladies. Please sit down for a minute.

Yes.

Thanks for being so patient.

My friend finally finished taking a dump.

He's waiting in front of the door.

No. Don't look at him now!

Yeah, not yet.

If you do, you are going to fall for him. Why?

He has eyes like ocean They're so deep.

That asshole...

Is only his face handsome?

No, he's a masterpiece all around. He has nice ass.

Have i seen his ass yet?

No, I haven't yet. So you're going to get to see it even before me.

If there's Woo-hyuk Jang in Gumi, we have him in Pusan.

Without further ado It's time for you to get a reward.

Please hold on.

Ladies, it's your lucky day!

Yes.

Just dance and forget everything

Forget about all the troubles in the world

Instead, scream and yell your heart out

Everybody dance

Twist king!

If you're feeling...

Hey, what are you doing? It's twist time.

Goodness, I thought you were the real Turbo.

In Pusan, he's the second best dancer

right after Jae-duc Kim.

Goodness.

What's going on? Did you fall in love already?

Is it love at first sight?

I didn't expect that you would be like that.

You must like young men.

Jun-hee, say hello. This is...

My sister.

Yes, she's older than us. She's not a brother.

Call them by their name at first. Then we can call them honey.

Once we start calling them honey, we can get closer, you know?

She's my older sister.

She's my real sister.

Hello.

Then, have fun.

You son of a bitch, where do you think you're going? Stop.

You son of a bitch, where do you think you're going? Stop.

What? You're going on a trip with your friends since the SAT is over?

Is this where you go on a trip with your friends?

How dare you bullshit me? Do you need a beating?

Do you know what Mom is doing while you're out here like this?

She's making beef bone broth to raise you.

Follow me. You're dead.

You're going to get it. Come on. Follow me out.

Madam, I didn't do anything wrong.

-Hey! You're coming too! -Okay.

I...

Hak-chan.

Hak-chan.

Hak-chan, actually I...

Actually...

I'm...

No!

I'm on my period!

If you wanted to do something else,

-we can try now. -Goodness.

Where is he?

Are you meeting her at school?

Send her off soon. I'm seeing her after.

-Are you really going to buy her drinks? -Yes.

I'll buy her a beer since she worked hard for the SAT.

beer?

Hey, Si-won is still naive.

so if you're nice to her,

she'll think that you like her.

Don't joke around with her.

Come on. I'm serious.

She'll really believe it.

Don't joke around with someone so slow.

Let's listen to a song.

I'm not joking.

I'm not fooling around.

I like Si-won.

Didn't you know?

She's a child to you, but not to me.

I was planning to tell her tonight.

She's going to be so surprised, right?

What is that? Why do I hear a puppy?

It looks just like you. When did you get it?

You didn't even tell me.

Do you want to have a puppy?

You should've told me.

If you told me, I would have got you a more expensive one.

Why didn't you tell me?

Yoon-jae.

I quit my job today.

Since you finished your SAT, I'm going to live my life now.

Today...

is a very special day for me.

Right. Let's play StarCraft tonight.

I won't let you win this time.

I was so close to winning yesterday.

You always catch me when I make a reconnaissance.

I'll get going.

I had no idea

until he penetrated into my base,

built a house, and attacked me.

I had no clue.

Goodness.

World War II.

In order to end the slow war,

the Allied Forces attacked Germany.

An amphibious operation in the dark night.

The operation was called, "D-day".

In order to prepare for the battle,

you need a well-planned strategy.

You must know the exact location of your target.

You can't study for the SAT. You just take it knowing what you know.

You must understand your enemy's situation.

COUPLE

You must also be able to read the mind of the other.

You shouldn't let your guard down thinking that the plan is perfect.

You should never show a gap or reveal a weakness.

That's because there's only victory or failure.

Only two results are possible.

The first d-day in my life.

November 18, 1998.

I had planned everything to the dot,

but I was defeated.

The reason for my defeat is

I failed to complete reconnaissance.

Man, look how flexible he is.

I think you could probably make him

hit fourth right away.

Anyway, who's that?

Our batting coach. Kyungnam High School's batting coach.

He is 44 this year.

He looks really young.

You can hardly differentiate an adult from a kid.

How can you find yourself players?

Go!

One more time!

My goodness.

I'm afraid his gloves are going to rip apart.

I think your pitching coach

can actually still play in the league if he wants to.

He looks over 40 for sure.

How does he have so much skill

to pinpoint his pitches like that

He is in first grade. He is 17!

Seriously? That face is 17?

He's only in first grade, but he represents our team.

Anyway,

I think he would be better off as a batter than a pitcher.

He's so powerful and flexible.

I bet he'll be a great batter.

What kind of nonsense are you talking about?

Did you even look at his curveball?

It broke downwards like Niagara Falls.

You can easily tell he can pitch fastballs that amounts to at least 140km per hour.

He's a great pitcher already. Why would you turn him into a batter?

I used to be a catcher.

I have a good eye for pitchers.

Even if he hits a home run, he would be too slow.

He wouldn't make it back home for two days.

If you listen to me,

you'll get yourself a player like Chan-ho Park.

You're always talking nonsense.

Man, he reminds me of a pig and now I'm craving pork gukbap because of him.

Do you want to get some Pork gukbap ?

There is a good place nearby.

-Let's go. -He is a pig for sure.

My goodness.

Hey!

-Hey! -Run!

-Go, run! -Go!

DAE-HO LEE
