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

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

Today was my day for singing.

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

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

Don't you dare sing a loud English song!

Sing a song where I can understand the lyrics!

- I like old songs... - Really? Shall I pick an old song?

I'd like that!

- You really think this is an old song? - It is to me! It came out 15 years ago!

I feel nervous when I hear these kinds of songs.

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

Right! How did you know?

My dad's old song is "C'est Si Bon," and my old song is...

"Candy" by H.O.T.

Take me to the parking lot in Hongdae, please.

We'll be filming tomorrow... How come you are saying no?

I'll definitely clean up the place.

Yes, Dad. I can call you Dad, can't I?

Yeah, I'm worried too... You'll have to sleep on the floor for only tomorrow.

I've been working as a screenwriter for 10 years.

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

Of course, I write sometimes too. When I have to ask for items like pots and stuff...

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

But today, I have to put my ass-kissing skills to use again...

Yes, Mom... I know you've been worried...

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

And I didn't tell this to Dad... but I have gift cards for you.

I wish I could do more for you...

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

but it's sometimes annoying.

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

Like even just one song.

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

are too splendid for me to lament about getting old.

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

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

Kwang An High School Class of 1997 Alumni Reunion

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

Hey, guys!

- Welcome! - Glad you came!

Hello, stranger! Long time no see!

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

Shi Won! You gained weight!

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

This is Danji Jang, who was famous in Busan

for liking Moon Hee Jun (a member of H.O.T., a 90's K-pop group).

- Do you still like Tony? - Will you do something about your hair?

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

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

while I was called "Tony's wife." (Tony: another member of H.O.T.)

Oh, she's here.

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

Shi Won, I can see you gained some weight.

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

So you still like Hee Jun?

My best friend throughout middle and high school. Her name is Mo Yoo Jung.

She has been famous for her cuteness.

But she has been more famous for another characteristic.

I'm obsessed with Infinite these days! I think I need a tranquilizer.

She falls in love too easily and changes her favorite stars too often.

Hey, the guys are here.

Here they are. My best guy friends.

The romantic Kang Joon Hee.

The talkative Bang Sung Jae.

The charismatic Do Hak Chan.

The abrasive Yoon Yoon Jae.

Hey! We missed you!

You look good!

God, I'm so tired! I haven't seen so many people at a funeral!

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

The bean sprouts were good, and the bracken (type of plant) was home-grown.

By the way, that soup I had probably cost about 7 or 8 dollars, right?

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

- I was so sorry that he passed away... - May he rest in peace.

Hey, did you gain weight?

Danji, Danji, Danji, my love Danji! It's been so long since we last met!

Let's take a picture together! I'm going to post it on Facebook.

Sure! Let's take it before we grow any older.

- Picture? - Come on, hurry!

- Hurry! - Us too?

- Hurry! - OK, here we go. 1, 2, 3!

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

Answer me, 1997

April 1997 Busan

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

Shoot!

You have no respect.

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

Everyone, please shut your mouths!

- Are you recording it? - Of course. The red light's on.

- Don't worry. - Oh OK.

Yes, we are introducing our home for the first time!

Are you guys ready?

OK then, here we go!

Tony and Woo Hyuk's Home

So these are all stuff that you guys received from your fans?

Yes! We get a lot of presents from our fans...

This one looks quite special!

- From a fan? - Yes. I got this from a fan too.

Hey, did you see that? That's the teddy bear I gave him!

- Right? - Really?

I hug this teddy bear to sleep.

Look at that! That's mine!

Yeah it is! It is! Oh my gosh!

You're right, it is!

- You're sure, right? - Yeah.

It is, it is!

I kiss the doll before going to sleep...

Oh my gosh I can't believe it!

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

Oh dear. They're at it again.

Hello!

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

So what? What's so great about these guys that are as thin as toothpicks!

- Dad! - What?!

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

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

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

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

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

Stop calling them monkeys!

- They're monkeys. - No they're not!

Goodness gracious...

Answer me, 1997 Episode 1 "Eighteen"

April 29th

Happy birthday, Yoon Jae!

A Guess T-shirt? Wait...is this a fake?

On his 15th birthday

Adidos?

On his 16th birthday

Westpak?

On his 17th birthday

Safty Zone?

A Guess T-shirt? It's a real one this time.

Is it? Is it a real one?

Yeah, it is!

- Good morning, Mom! - Happy birthday, my son!

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

Here is your breakfast. Dig in!

Hey...

Did you put fish in the seaweed soup again?

Yeah, that makes it taste better.

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

Why do you keep putting fish in seaweed soup?!

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

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

Seriously! You complain too much!

The only reason you're getting to eat is because you two share the same birthday.

Sung Shi Won! Aren't you coming down?

Happy birthday...

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

Your soup's getting cold!

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

I said I don't want to eat!

- What did she say? - Are you still upset?

- Who are you, mister? - Mister?

What did you say to her yesterday?

I don't remember...

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

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

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

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

- No, not Shi Won. Tony! - Oh, that guy who looks like a monkey?

Hey...

Happy birthday, Yoon Jae. Here is your present.

Where's mine?

Excuse me, mister, but do I know you?

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

This again?

Are you gonna keep giving me coupons for my birthday?

Why? You don't like it?

No.

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

7 years ago, when Yoon Jae was 11

Coupon: Make me laugh

Yoon Jae's middle school graduation

Coupon: Lend me what I want for a day

Shi Won's graduation on the same day

Yes, I have no parents!

Last year

Coupon: Do anything I ask

- Do you have anything new this year? - I had to think a lot.

There are many "Do anything" coupons this year.

Yeah. Isn't it brilliant?

Apologize no matter what, hug me no matter what, calm down no matter what...

Do anything I ask?

- Seriously? - Yep.

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

- Aren't I kind, my sweet puppy? - Stop!

Did you watch "Star Documentary" yesterday? Tony had the bear I gave him in his room!

- He even kissed it! - Seriously? Was it yours?

- Oh my gosh, I'm so jealous! - Are you sure it was yours?

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

TN heart SW

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

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

It was so hard to do the stitches...

Every day for 10 days, I stitched meticulously to make that...

- Did you record it? - Sure I did!

I can lend it to you guys if you want.

You should have seen their facial expressions.

I can imagine. Do you want some?

No, thanks.

Do you want some?

- No. - Do you want this?

Let's just eat, OK?

What's your problem now?

You have something here.

Yoon Yoon Jae, can you record something today?

Which one?

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

You do it, then.

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

Then you can record it directly.

It's in Daegu (city in South Korea).

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

Of course!

I still can't decide which one I should watch.

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

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

What should I do?

You should be really busy today then.

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

Oh no, what are you gonna do?

Stop it!

I like Cha In Pyo better than Ahn Jae Wook.

You too?

Yes, Choi Jin Sil is so cute.

You are acting like a girl!

Don't you know today is Dad's birthday?

I don't have a dad.

Do you like H.O.T. more than him?

I don't want to talk about it.

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

No. I asked her last time and she ended up recording the news instead.

Are you going to skip study hall?

There is a way.

Well, I can't control when my period is going to start.

You don't know how much it hurts.

It hurts so bad. But I guess you will never know.

Go ahead.

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

Do it right, OK?

Be quiet!

If not, you guys will be in trouble!

Okay.

I don't like the teacher. He acts nicely only to the girls.

He knows that he is handsome.

Yes, he is handsome and tall.

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

Do you know what?

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

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

Especially when he was in his first year of high school.

At that time, everyone knew who he was.

Was he that smart?

Even though he was at the top of the whole school...

Now he's just a high school teacher. He should've been a prosecutor or doctor.

Or at least a magician.

According to rumors, he is really rich.

No. My mom said he was really smart but born into a poor family.

So that's why he couldn't go to Seoul.

I said be quiet! I'm warning you!

He really knows that he's good-looking.

Yoon Jae, let's go home.

I wish the bus came to Busan, not Daegu.

Just be thankful.

Didn't your back hurt while coming here?

No.

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

- Really? - Yep.

Fine. Let's go.

Ticket! Ticket!

Please show us your tickets! And take some cheering supplies with you.

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

Wow. I got this. Look!

I think they're releasing their 8th album.

Oh really?

- Tada! - Oh my!

Are you ready to meet Tony?

Or is it Kangta?

What are you talking about? We are family.

Sister, shall we go inside?

Don't do it.

I said, don't do it.

Don't do it!

Ouch! That hurts!

He's the only one who makes you upset.

He is crazy!

Is this a Guess T-shirt?

Really?

Are you kidding? This is original.

Do you think this is an original?

I think so.

Hey, 'Guess' has a question mark, not exclamation mark.

It is 'Guess?', not 'Guess!'

It really is an exclamation mark.

Let me see! It really is!

Our imitation industry has improved this much!

We are so smart!

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

Let's just say it is an original T-shirt. I really like the idea.

Do you think I was just joking?

How many times have I said to be quiet?

Class president, come out!

I said, come out!

Are you the class president? Come here!

I didn't make any noise.

What did you just say?

I said, I was quiet!

Are you kidding with me? I said to come out!

If you are the class president, you should have made the class quiet.

How many times have I told you to be quiet?

How many times do you want to be spanked?

10 times.

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

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

H.O.T Forever!

[singing]

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

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

Mom, are you going to have a party?

No, it's for us.

Wow, it's for more than 100 people.

Is it? But it is better than less.

By the way, where is Shi Won?

She went to Daegu.

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

It is starting.

Did you come here to record?

No. I'm not her servant.

Tony! Tony!

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

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

[singing H.O.T song]

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

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

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

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

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

Tony! Tony!

[singing 'Star in My Heart' from the soundtrack 'Forever']

It really is long! Isn't it?

Here! Me! Me!

This is the first question. What kind of illness did Tony get when he came to Korea?

A sickness that he wants to call home.

Yes, and then what happened?

So he called home (which is the States) every day and paid a bill worth more than thousand dollars.

Here! Look at me!

What date did Tony propose to his first love?

April 15th, Wednesday! It was a rainy day!

Me! It's me! Yes!

Me! Me! Here!

During his first album, what did Tony give to his members on his way to Korea?

Shoes! Shoes!

Why are you giving the chance only to her?

Just sit here quietly. Here!

Here!

This is the most important question.

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

Hey! Me! Me!

What did Tony do when he was in fifth grade?

A skateboard! skateboard!

Wrong. You were in a hurry.

When he was riding that skateboard... and where did he get hurt?

Me! Me!

You just said the answer.

No way!

No, you lost the opportunity. Next student!

Yes, you.

His front tooth?

Correct!

The prize was Tony's T-shirt that he just wore.

And the answer was his front tooth.

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

Umm...Tony's smell of sweat.

You just take it.

Anyway, I'm not a fan of Tony...

So if you get something from Kangta, you can give it to me then.

No. I'm fine. You are the one who got the answer right.

I'm not interested in these things.

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

Really? Can I?

I'm never going to wash this!

Tony's smell of sweat. Oh my...

And... I have something to say to you...

-Yes, I'm listening. -Look at me then.

Look at me!

I'm listening!

I... I asked Yoon Jae for a date today.

Really? What did he say?

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

But... Is it okay, if we have a relationship?

Why not?

Because you guys are best friends.

But didn't you say you like the Japanese actor?

I don't like him anymore.

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

He is too old.

Yoon Jae is good-looking and smart.

He is also good at sports and mature.

Really? I can't tell...

Did you record it?

Yes, I did it.

Good job.

Today...

Yoo Jung asked me out...

I heard.

What should I do?

How do you feel?

I don't know.

Should I not date her?

Why do you ask me?

Should I not date her?

Should I not date her?

[Coupon: Do anything for me.]

What is your wish?

Don't make me date her.

What were you doing the whole day without eating anything?

How about the soy sauce?

You're right.

[Star in My Heart]

Choi Jin Sil

Cha In Pyo

Here. Eat it.

This is too much.

How is it going?

At school, I was...

You don't have to apologize.

It is a question mark, not exclamation mark!

Wh..What?

This has an exclamation mark! You don't even know?

Question mark...

[singing]

It is really great!

They made a good one.

Ahn Jae Wook really did a good job.

He will be a top star! Cha In Pyo will go down.

I like Choi Jin Sil the best!

This is Tony An. Love you all!

Yes. This week we had an interview with H.O.T.

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

I really like Kim Gook Jin. Love you all!

Yoon Jae, I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were the class president.

I'm sorry. Can you open the door?

Yoon Jae got spanked by his brother for the first time.

My heart was broken like a torn tape.

Hello, this is Yoon Yoon Jae.

Press number 1, if you want to leave a number. Press number 2, for voice messages.

Press number 1, if you want to leave a number. For voice messages...

Hello, this is Yoon Yoon Jae.

Press number 1, if you want to leave a number.

Press number 2, for voice messages.

At the age of 18, we fall in love easily...

Me! Me!

And worry too much about little things.

The age of 18. The adults usually say...

At our age, we laugh at the simplest things.

But at that time, we were serious.

It was intense and harder than other adults.

In 1997, when we were 18, things were like this.

Mom!

Oh my, why? Did I do something wrong?

It smelled a lot!

Tony's scent of sweat!

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

July 2012, Jaegyeong, Busan, Kwang An high school's 38th alumni meeting

What?

-Don't do it! -No way!

I'm going to be born again as size D-cup Mo Yoo Jung.

I want to have bigger breasts!

Crazy...

I'm going to have a surgery next week.

Surgery?

You don't need to know.

Since when did you guys have secrets?

There is a surgery for women.

Breasts? He is good at it.

You! Don't clap!

There is a surgery... for men.

In 1997 February, Spring Break Busan.

Thank you!

Where did he go?

Can you walk?

Yes...

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

Why? Is it embarrassing?

Yes.

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

You can tell everyone except Shi Won.

I heard that you became a man!

What are you doing?

Don't do it!

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

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

Isn't it too expensive if it falls down?

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

Yoon Jae, I will cook seaweed soup for you because you had a surgery today.

Dong Il doesn't know about it, right?

No, no.

I buttoned it up.

Nobody knows except Shi Won.

Yoon Jae, how was the surgery?

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

Busan, Kwang An high school freshman, Yoon Yoon Jae!

Congratulations on your surgery!

Where is the disk?

I put it on the desk. Check it again.

No, there isn't. Why don't you look for it?

Then check my bag.

I can't find it! Maybe you lost it.

Oh gosh!

Why can't you find it?

-There is nothing. -Back off!

Use your head not only studying, but in daily life!

Why can't you find it even in a small bag?

You are making my life harder.

Are you a fool?

Yoon Jae, how was the surgery?
