One, two, one, two...
One, two, one, two...
Wow! My little girl's good!
All right!
Come here, darling.
Tired?
Myeongnan.
What did I say I am?
Champion!
And what does that mean?
The strongest person
in the world!
Right...
Did you write
what I told you to?
Yeah!
Let's see.
Dates, chestnuts, pears, apples...
- Something's missing!
- What?
Your mom's photo.
Go home and get the prettiest photo
you can find.
I'll finish this one
in three rounds. Okay?
Yeah.
Let's see
your punching skills...
- Relax!
- Yes, coach.
Just think of it as practice.
Assistants,
step out!
Fight!
Push him! Push him!
You should've out of his area! Hey!
Myeongho! 30 seconds to go!
How old is this guy?
Twelve years younger than you.
Was I that fast
when I was his age?
You certainly got married fast!
He's not even taking a drink.
Do you have
the strength to go on?
Today's the anniversary of
my wife's death.
Don't make me lose face.
Do you want to die, too?
Oh yeah, and I asked you to tell me
When there's 30 seconds to go!
Son of a bitch!
You mean you didn't hear me?
Move! Move!
Step out! Step out!
Four, five, six...
Seven, eight!
Miracle on 1st Street
How many families
left here now?
Around 30 families, I believe.
I was hoping I could give up
this stuff by now.
My family thinks
I'm a construction official.
What a disgrace.
Well, you do kind of work
in construction.
Goddammit Oksaeng,
I hate traveling with you!
Didn't I tell you
to fill it right up?
You give me 1 0,000 won a day.
That doesn't buy
enough gas to get very far.
When I asked for 1 0,000 won's
worth at the gas station,
the sons of bitches died
laughing!
Son of bitches.
Don't lie to me.
Does 1 0,000 buy
enough gas for one day?
Oil prices are sky high these days.
We should get a slightly smaller car.
I wouldn't be seen dead
in a smaller car!
Sorry, boss.
This is driving me crazy.
- Go past him on the left.
- I can't get through!
Damned granddad! Go left! Left!
Crazy old guy!
This is driving me insane!
This insane old fart
is just asking for it.
What a day!
Just ignoring me like that...
Hey! Granddad! You deaf?
Hey!
Oh, my God.
Why would we be
responsible for him?
Well, do you have contact details
for someone responsible?
How the hell would we know?
This is crazy.
You sort this out.
For chriss...
I told you, I don't know him!
Deokgu, it's dinner time.
Dad, stop that and come eat.
Dad! You'll wear your belt out!
Hey! Get up!
Come on. Wedgy... wedgy...
Get up, now!
Stop! Hey!
Wait a minute!
Myeongnan! What are you doing?
- Going to work!
- Get on the bus!
Running is faster!
How can running be faster?
My god.
Crazy bitch...
Where's Pine Tree Village?
Dirty damned son of a bitch...
I am the defender of planet earth!
- Shut up, girl!
- What the hell?
Die!
That was too hard.
What the hell?
You brats going to let me through?
Don't move.
Oh no. he's getting out.
It's okay. Don't be scared.
What is this?
And who are you?
So you want to take me on? You two?
You're a bad man, aren't you?
Do I look like a bad man?
I'm a very good man.
This is a road, with cars on it.
You can't play here.
It's dangerous. You're cute kids,
don't argue with me.
Just stand aside. Got it?
The maniacs round here even send
their kids out to block the streets.
Draw!
Just stay right there!
Don't move! Got it?
I'm going to run you right over.
Don't move.
I'll sort these little brats out.
Why has this stopped?
Oksaeng, that son of a bitch.
Push harder you brats!
What's wrong with you?
That's enough!
Now beat it. Go home!
What a place...
He's got a TV!
Hey! Cool...
Get away from there!
Beat it!
What a dump...
Little brats. Goddammit.
Ildong, Deokgu's flying!
Quick, come and watch.
What the hell are you doing?
Come down!
What a moron!
Hey dumbass! Put 100 boxes on.
Dumbass! Think I'm paying you
more for coming in early?
- Have you had breakfast?
- I think I have...
What d'you mean, think you have?
There's a cream cake and a bean cake,
which one are you having?
Half and half, please.
You think this is a pizza?
Son of a...
Why are you so hungry?
Hey!
But only when I understood the true
essence of network marketing
did my life begin to
be transformed!
Of course, some mindless people
misunderstand it.
They say it's multi'-level marketing.
Pyramid schemes!
In the face of such ignorant,
backward people
You must shout loud and clear:
My work is not a pyramid scheme!
It is network marketing!
People, this is
NETWORK MARKETlNG!
- What are you doing?
- What do you mean?
That's water from the bathroom.
It's tap water. It's clean.
But you got it from the bathroom!
Come on,
it's not going to kill anyone.
It's not a question of dying.
You mean I've been drinking
three glasses of sewage water
every day?
That's a bit harsh...
It gets boiled in here anyway.
Is that how you talk to a customer?
Come on! You? A customer?
What did you just say?
Are you laughing?
What's worse, cola from there
or tap water from here?
What does cola have
to do with this?
You want me to get
you spring water?
Shouldn't you at least
be putting in mineral water?
I'm reporting you for this!
Wait!
Hey!
Ildong! Are you out there?
I'm here.
Don't go.
Okay, just hurry up and shit.
I'm scared. Sing me a song.
Just take your shit!
Sing me a song!
Silly girl.
Now!
Goddammit.
~Mother, sister,
let's go live by the river...
~Sparkling water...
So you want to live by the river?
You know how much
and costs by the river?
I want to live by the river too.
Get out!
Get the hell out!
I really need to go.
Shit.
Dammit... what's with you?
Stop making faces at people...
Is there a toilet with a seat here?
A toilet with what?
You don't know?
Pardon me for asking.
No light switch?
Be careful.
If you fall in, you'll die.
Look at how these kids talk!
~Mother, sister,
let's go live by the river...
What the hell?
Goddammit!
Hey! Stop!
Son of a bitch, you're dead!
Stand still!
What the...?
Hey! Hey!
Stupid girl!
Your new job
is a pyramid scheme?
I said it's not pyramid scheme!
It's network marketing!
You don't even know.
And you know so much!
Just go back to the factory!
It was a hard job to get.
I hate being a sweatshop girl!
You still don't get it!
Want today to be your last?
Stop hitting me!
You're ruining my life! Bitch!
Stupid girl!
When will you grow up?
Hit me once more, I'll leave home!
Then leave! And don't come back!
If you come home today
I'll break your legs.
It's time that
you stopped dreaming!
Who the hell are you?
Why should I sign your papers?
For a crappy sum of money? Bastard!
Bring me a new house
and I'll give you this one!
That's not enough money
to buy my toilet.
- Don't push!
- Get out!
How dare you play dirty tricks here!
You're the world's biggest crook!
Hey! Since when did our village
have one of those?
I wanted to draw it!
Moron! You're supposed to
draw our village.
That's your homework!
Jeez, you made me jump.
Just you kids here?
Yes.
- Who's legally responsible for you?
- What does that mean?
What do you think?
The person who looks after you!
Driving me mad.
- Does your grandpa pull a cart?
- Yes.
- Excuse me.
- Son of a bitch!
Where have you been?
Your phone was switched off!
- Grandpa!
- B... Battery.
The battery ran out.
What's wrong with Grandpa?
- I don't know, you little brat!
- What's wrong with him?
- Cancer!
- Pardon?
- Cancer!
- It's cancer?
Yes. They said stomach cancer.
- Does it hurt a lot?
- I don't know! Just drop it.
It doesn't hurt much.
Get me your granddad's seal.
No, it's okay. I don't need it.
Grandpa!
Okay, that's one down...
What is that?
This? A consent form for surgery.
Surgery?
If he gets any worse,
they may have to operate.
Don't worry.
It'll clear right up
in a few days.
Nurse him well, okay?
Come on, you son of a bitch.
- Grandpa!
- Dammit. Just kill me now.
Goddammit.
You call this an accommodation?
Is something the matter, boss?
Am I on military service?
Are we on commando training?
Have you seen the bathroom?
The bathroom?
You can't even breathe in there!
Go air it out a bit and clean it up!
Call Mr. Kim and get him
to bring a toilet with a seat.
How do they expect us
to work here?
What the hell is this? Dammit.
A natural thug like you can't
even do a frickin' simple...
What the... Speak of the devil.
It's not small!
In the army
this would sleep 30 people.
Don't worry.
If words don't persuade them,
We can get more physical.
Anyway, you should see this land.
It's hot stuff.
with apartment blocks behind this.
To the side of this...
Hello...
Hello?
Wouldn't mind killing
that son of a bitch!
You're dead.
Goddammit! Why the hell do you
come here and do this crazy stuff?
Son of a...
What the hell are you doing?
Absolute moron...
Hey! Lady of the mountain
spring water!
Are you on the way home?
Jump in. I'll take you there.
I'm fine.
Honestly, I put mineral water
in normally.
Yesterday was a real emergency.
You make me laugh.
Hey! I'm a really hard worker.
Of course.
Working really hard to fill
our machine with sewage.
Not again!
Sewage, such
a dirty word from such a pretty face.
I'm only saying this
because you made a mistake.
Would I be saying this
if you'd done nothing wrong?
You're a strange, middle-aged man.
Hey!
- What?
- Why am I middle-aged?
- Middle-aged man.
- What?
Do you play soccer
early in the morning?
Yes.
So you are middle-aged!
It's right here.
Wow... You live here?
I lived around here 1 0 years ago.
It got filled with
apartments in no time!
- Take care.
- Good bye...
Seonju!
Yes?
Do you really drink 3 coffees a day
from my vending machine?
I often drink four.
Anyway, what kind of person
charges 400 won for a coffee?
It's a complete ripoff!
What about the cost of labor?
Just picking up my shoes!
Fine.
Hey!
Spread your hands!
What the...? Stupid girl!
Hey! Duck!
Get your hands forward, girl!
Open your eyes!
Come out of the corner!
Hands forward!
Hands right forward!
Duck!
That's it.
Faster!
Stupid girl.
Did you trade in your hands
at the pawn shop?
If you want to push
with your neck and body,
you should do wrestling or judo.
Why boxing?
You need to use your head!
Stupid girl!
Why do you hit me
when I'm eating?
You still have an appetite
after that bout?
Calm down.
You might collapse again.
The best thing for heart disease
is to stay calm.
If there's one thing you can do,
it's talk.
You're exactly like your father.
Coach!
Outside the gym, call me Uncle.
Uncle, can I fight Seo ln-yeong?
Seo ln-yeong?
The Asian champion?
They say no one
is challenging her now.
Myeongnan,
What's your fight history?
Five fights: one draw,
four defeats.
You actually got a draw?
Eat up.
Is this a foreign car?
Who's there?
If I catch you, you're dead!
Dammit, nothing
in this place even works.
Hello?
My water supply's been cut off.
- Yeah, the address is...
- 1st Street, Pine Village
It's on top of the hill.
Everyone else seems
to know where it is.
The place that's up for demolition?
They're planning to
cut off the water there.
But everywhere in Korea
has a water supply!
It's a unique area,
please understand our situation.
Understand?
You're goddam telling us
all to just die?
What the hell...
Who's your manager?
What's your name?
Give me your name, now!
Do you know who I am?
I'm a reporter for the
Just stay right where you are.
I'm coming after you with a camera!
So stop talking crap
and get the hell up here!
You don't understand me?
Haven't quite grasped the situation?
Reconnect me within an hour,
Or else!
They said no, didn't they?
Have you set up the toilet?
Hello?
You... from the toilet...
the other night...
Do you own this place?
Get me your dad's seal.
Hey! Didn't you hear me?
I said, bring me your father's seal!
You're not a real woman yet.
I saw you.
Do you want to die?
What did you just say?
What?
You want to fight a round?
Are you out of your mind?
You've really landed yourself in it.
Myeongnan!
Are you still here?
You son of a bitch!
This thing could kill somebody!
What's up with you, sister?
You can keep quiet!
Or I'll kill you, dammit.
Can't you talk to me nice and slow?
Just piss off!
Try attacking me without a weapon!
Then I'll give you a proper fight.
Stay here all you like,
you're nothing!
Son of a bitch!
When I was young,
this road was so high and so long,
now it feels so short.
I can get all the way up
in one breath.
Want to see?
Here we go, hold on tight!
Quick hands,
slice through the wind...
These sounds aren't from my mouth.
My mouth is not moving!
Dad, my fists are really fast, right?
Sometimes
my fists are too fast even for me to see.
How scary is that for my opponents?
Dad.
Just wait a little while,
I'll put the championship belt
around your waist again.
Okay? I mean it.
I'm confident!
Myeongnan, fighting!
Look, strawberry cake.
Wow, cool.
I've heard of a chocolate bar,
but what's a milk bar?
Myeongnan's breasts.
Myeongnan has no breasts. I saw.
- You really saw?
- I really saw.
Where?
Ildong! Look at this!
Grandpa has cancer, doesn't he?
It says tomatoes are the best cure.
Won't they make Grandpa better?
That's so hot!
So hot...
Hello?
Yes. I'm trying to set up
an internet connection.
Brats, you need to make sure
you get yourselves some land.
Do you know how important it is
to get land in Korea?
It's me.
Could you bring me
I brought 300 meters with me
but it's not enough.
I'm at that slum called 1st Street.
It's a long story.
I don't know! He said he was
a reporter from KBS 9 o'Clock News.
No, KBS! Not MBC! KBS!
Dammit.
He was really talking down to me,
like he was important.
The joker said he's doing research!
Please get me that cable!
- Is he on the internet?
- Yeah.
That guy's amazing.
They said there was no internet here.
And our water supply got fixed
right after he came here.
Wow...!
I'll put you on a 3-year contract.
- 2 weeks!
- I'm sorry?
Two weeks, man!
If that's all you want,
you should go to an internet cafe.
Do you see any internet cafes
around here?
Could you please make
an initial payment of 50,000 won?
Why?
Well, Mr. Cho, you have
a bad credit rating.
So we need to take an initial payment
before opening your connection.
So poor people shouldn't use
the internet?
I don't make the rules, you know.
Who does, then? Maybe you
should call your boss out here!
Are these hard times for reporters?
My job is to pursue the truth.
I'll take this one.
That one only comes free
with a three-year contract.
That's outrageous!
It's a basic rule.
What? Basic rule?
More like misleading advertising.
Want to be on the news
for false advertising?
Am I wrong?
Ildong, will the tomatoes
really grow?
Are you a moron?
If you plant tomatoes, you'll get
tomatoes. It's common sense.
What does common sense mean?
Don't you even know?
Do you know?
No.
Dammit...
Hey!
Got some kimchi at your place?
Kimchi.
Just a little bit!
Did you make this?
This kimchi tastes of nothing,
Did you even put spices in it?
Have you got any noodles left?
Yeah.
How old are you?
You'll end up in hell
for what you're doing.
We're offering you
a lot of money to leave.
Wouldn't we both be happy
if we just did the deal?
There's never been
a way out of poverty.
You know why?
Poor people
just don't listen to anyone.
Worst thing is,
poor people
always stick to themselves.
There's no chance of progress.
Hey!
Ildong! None of them have grown.
Still a long time yet.
Shouldn't we water them?
Really? Just a bit, then.
How much?
- One cup.
- What size cup?
A gourd of water.
Isn't that too much?
Too much water might kill them.
It won't, you little brats.
You guys are full of suspicion.
Get me a cup of barley water!
We got none.
We got some mineral water.
Anything cold, you brat!
She into sports?
You mean Myeongnan?
That's her name?
What's her sport?
- Pugilism!
- Boxing?
Pugilism!
Myeongnan's father
was Asian champion.
- Dumbass! I need 100 boxes here.
- Yes boss.
Hey! Who's coming
to Chuncheon with me?
- Me...! Me! Me!
- Me!
Bunch of losers.
Dumbass.
Want to go to Chuncheon?
Is that okay?
Get these crates loaded then.
Dumbass,
how much you earn per day?
Guys get 30,000 and you 25,000?
Mean bastards.
Take this and call it a day.
Just take it!
Seonju, want to have
dinner with me?
What kind of woman do you like?
Me? A good, honest person.
Good and honest.
I like that. Good and...
Drink some cola!
I don't drink soda.
Do they have juice here?
Juice?
At a barbecue restaurant?
So drinking sewage is okay, but
not juice in a barbecue restaurant?
That's enough about sewage!
Seems like you're about to hit me.
Stop talking about sewage!
You like me, don't you?
What?
It's just too bad.
Mom said don't go near anyone
that's not a doctor or lawyer.
That stuff no longer applies!
You need a professional who's an expert.
No! Now is the era
of network marketing!
No, no. Wrong.
What's wrong?
Don't do things like that.
Things like what?
You're not really the type
for a pyramid scheme.
I told you, it's not like that.
It's all the same. You should know.
How many times do I have to say it?
It's network marketing!
You worked hard. Have a drink.
- I'm okay, thanks.
- Come on!
It'll stop you feeling tired.
Cheers!
Myeongnan...
Myeongnan!
Since we're out here,
let's try a local hot spring.
- A hot spring?
- Yeah.
I'm all right.
I'm okay. I just want to go back.
Come on girl. It's really good!
I don't want to. I'm going.
All right. Let's just
take a break for 30 minutes.
Let go of me.
Come on! You're not a kid!
Let me go!
Just stay still!
Son of a bitch!
Automatic vending machine guy
Appearance: A, Personality: A
A school career:
Graduated High school?
Monthly income : $1000-1500?
That's so damn loud.
Silly bitch. Just keep quiet.
Stop messing around
and get yourself married.
It's your duty to your mother.
How do I get married with
no money?
Who gets married to
a penniless woman nowadays?
Then earn some money!
You can't even feed yourself,
so stop talking crap.
I'm going to make money.
I mean it!
When I've earned money,
I'm leaving this hole forever!
I'll kill you, you bitch.
I'm going to be rich!
Where the hell are you going?
For a piss!
Can't even
take a crap in peace...
That guy does nothing but crap.
Hey! Crazy bitch!
What the hell is wrong with you?
Huh?
Huh?
I have to leave
this crazy place.
Dammit, my back hurts.
This is driving me mad.
Is she some kind of gangster?
Go and puke in your own house!
Hey!
That's filthy!
Fricking disgusting!
This is driving me insane!
You're the craziest bitch
I've ever seen!
What a smell!
Boss, I brought you a...
Sorry, Boss.
Have a pleasant evening.
Don't be stupid!
Get me some water you bitch!
What the hell did you hit?
A person or a wall?
Are you a man or a woman?
Does seem like a woman...
Goddammit!
Make sure you clean
the inside bits!
Yes.
By the way...
What?
What is your job?
What do you think?
Since you came here,
water supply is fixed,
and we have internet connection.
They say you're like Superman.
- Superman?
- Yes.
Who told you?
Goddammit. I try so hard
to keep it a secret.
Now I've been found out again!
Keep this to yourselves!
Don't tell anyone about this.
- All right.
- Dammit, how the hell
can I hide my identity?
Go and wash that shirt.
Get rid of the smell.
Did Myeongnan sleep there
last night?
Yeah... why?
And she's changed clothes.
Just wash the goddam car!
You little brat!
Are you throwing out
this noodle box?
What box?
This noodle box.
Yeah. Help yourself.
Thank you.
Hey! Filthy beggars!
What did you say?
What did you just say?
I didn't say anything.
Say one more thing and
you're dead!
What are you crying about, girl?
Tell me if anyone makes fun of you.
I won't stand for it. Okay?
Let's go, girl.
Bring me a wet towel,
And some kind of disinfectant!
All right.
How did you get yourself
In such a state, boy?
Show some strength!
I'll buy some medicine,
come and get it from the gym.
Thank you.
Turn your dad over regularly.
Okay.
Since when has he been
incontinent?
It's been quite a while.
Why didn't you say something?
What's with your hand?
Uncle.
I want to fight Seo ln-yeong.
Why do you want to fight so bad?
Why did you box?
I'm a dumb guy,
I had nothing else to show people!
And I'm a dumb daughter,
I have nothing else to show my dad.
I can win! I can be a champion!
What difference does being
a champion make?
Think that's
what your father would want?
He's like that because of me!
Snap out of it!
Can you see these? Yes or no?
Can't you do this?
Shall we give up?
I'm okay. I'm still standing.
Fighting! Fighting!
Give up!
Automatic vending machine
Hello?
It's me. Where are you?
Where do you think?
At home...
I need to see you.
- Sorry?
- I'm waiting outside your apartment.
Where?
This'll drive me crazy.
Why are you doing this to me?
Where are you going in this rain?
- Nowhere!
- Where are you going, bitch?
For a piss!
You go more than
How come we have
no good umbrellas?
You always shoot off at night!
Why have you come?
Are you on your way home?
I've been jogging.
What can I do for you?
I have to raise
my coffee prices tomorrow.
- What?
- I just can't make a profit.
So...?
So there.
Is that all?
Yes.
Thank you for coming out.
Well, I'll be off then.
Hey!
You went jogging in these shoes?
~I don't know why it is...
~But the whole world
looks beautiful...
Goddammit!
Sorry, I won!
Please help us!
What's up?
What am I doing?
This is driving me insane.
It's leaking there too!
God! You drive me mad.
Hey! Is it still leaking on
that side?
Yes.
Tell me exactly where the leak is,
you brat! Damn!
There... here...
There... there... and here!
Shut up you brat!
Goddam useless kid!
I wish money poured down
from the sky like this.
Washed it?
Why does a girl like you box?
To become Asian champion.
To be world champion
means something.
Asian champion is
just embarrassing.
So why are you into demolition?
Fancy a drink?
Still, you're a woman.
Boxing? Damn...
Can you make some money
being Asian champion?
You could earn more as a laborer.
You got to be crazy
to beat each other up
Till you end up shitting blood.
It's insane.
But you know, you feel good
after taking a beating.
Getting hit turns you on?
What kind of pervert are you?
Doesn't it hurt?
Hurts, doesn't it?
You're the craziest bitch ever!
But...
A lot of things in life...
...hurt much more.
Do you know what they are?
No. What are they?
Absolutely crazy! Damn...
Ride it!
FYl, there are 21 gears.
Wow, that feels good.
Have you always lived here?
No.
- So where are you from?
- Geochang.
Why did you come to Seoul?
To live with Grandpa.
Where are your parents, then?
We have no dad.
And Mom ran away.
Mom didn't run away!
Grandpa said she went
away to work.
That's running away.
No it isn't!
What do you know?
She did run away, you moron!
No! You're the moron!
Are you arguing with me, moron?
You want to hit me?
Try it! Hit me!
- You want to die?
- Just try and kill me! Try it!
Can't you shut the hell up?
Why are you brats fighting?
And you, you bitch.
Shut about their mom running away!
Shut up, bitch!
You people stress me out!
Why do you keep doing
this crazy stuff up here?
Stand straight
and don't be afraid!
Hold on here!
Okay!
You need to know
how to use the wind.
Entrust yourself to the wind!
And trust me!
Understand?
If you fly this time, no more running
around up here!
Okay? Promise!
Right! Don't be scared,
this is safe! Okay! Go!
One, two, three...
Oh, my!
Are your legs okay?
Deokgu!
What the...?
Are you all right?
Who did this to you?
Damn...
I'm going to kill you!
He flies around...
you've seen it, right?
Black coffee 50cent, Coffee 50cent
Ildong? Are tomatoes
fruits or vegetables?
Fruit.
Not vegetables?
Are you nuts?
You buy them from a fruit shop.
The vegetable shop sells them too.
Still, they're fruits.
Can you prove it?
Girl, are you a detective?
What do you mean prove it?
Just asking.
What?
You want to eat it?
No.
It's all right to pick up
things off the street!
Still, we mustn't. Let's go.
Put that down, girl!
Dirty little bastard!
What did you just take?
Nothing...
What's this then? Nothing?
Already a thief, at your age?
Rude bastard.
To the police station!
I didn't steal it!
It had fallen on the ground!
Aren't you from the slum?
Rude little bastard!
Come with me!
I didn't steal it! Honestly!
Shut up!
In any case,
it's you that keep stealing things!
Good-for-nothing brats!
What the...? You little...
What are you doing?
He's done nothing wrong!
Cocky youngster!
Come with me, brat!
Isun! Isun!
Kids like you need a proper beating
till you learn anything!
You son of a bitch!
Ildong!
Who the hell are you?
What are you doing?
Did you steal something?
Son of a bitch! Better ask the police
to get you compensation for this:
Wife-and child-beaters like you are
The lowest of the low,
motherfucker!
I'll break your wrists!
What were you trying to eat?
Say something, brats!
To... tomato.
Tomato?
Take as many as you want.
Take them, quickly!
You think one's enough?
Take more!
Take a load, you brats!
So you could eat till you burst!
You take one too.
Give me a discount since
I'm buying two boxes.
What the hell's going on?
Who told you to spar?
Get down!
Are you confident?
I'm confident I can take the blows.
That won't win a fight.
You need to hit your opponent.
If I can take the blows,
I'll get some punches in.
So you're resilient?
You say that, but just wait
until you're in a real fight.
- Myeongnan.
- Yes.
You know I've looked after
Your father since
before he was born?
He must have been
in middle school.
He came to me with two black eyes,
and asked me to teach him boxing.
But you don't learn boxing
just to fight with people!
He ran around after me
for two months.
I told him I'd teach him a lesson,
told him to put the gloves on.
Said I'd teach him to box
If he lasted three rounds
against me.
I wanted to put the kid
in his place.
I let loose with my fists.
He kept going for 1 8 rounds!
The die-hard bastard!
I asked him why he was
so hell-bent on learning to box.
He told me he'd taken a beating
in front of a girl
Who he had a crush on,
from a guy that did boxing.
He was so naive!
That girl that he loved in secret
was your mother.
You've got ten days left.
Work hard.
Ildong - we've got enough here
to make ketchup with some to spare!
Let's eat just one.
We have to give them to grandpa.
No one will notice...
It's him!!
We'll have to go the other way.
- Why?
- Just follow me, girl!
Ildong!
Where are you going?
Oh no...
Did you hit my brother?
He kept calling me a beggar...
You are a beggar!
No I'm not.
Want to die today?
Really? Then stay standing.
Ildong!
Don't touch them.
You can hit me instead!
- lldong!
- Strike!
- lldong...
- Die, filthy beggars!
They tasted good.
It's okay.
We can get some more.
Ildong, I miss mum.
I told you, she abandoned us.
Why do you miss her?
She ran away just because
you're a bad boy!
- I know it!
- What do you know?
Why hit me?
You'll become a gangster.
Are you arguing with me, moron?
Even I wouldn't want to
bring you up!
Mum was right to run away!
Get up!
Who asked you to bring me up?
Leave me then!
Do what you like.
Ildong! Ildong!
Why on earth do you want to fly?
Think you're a bird or something?
Birds fly to stay alive,
And it's exhausting.
It's not because they like it!
You understand me?
Holding the wings
by hand won't work.
You need to attach them to his body.
Are you insane?
What's up with those two?
Hey!
Come here!
You should've hit him first!
You just sat there
and took it! Jeez!
Hum!
Are you out of your goddam mind?
You little brats!
Stop messing around, brats!
You're supposed to be washing.
Little brats...
So you want to play games?
Hey!
I'm going to fight
the Asian champion!
You are dead...
You son of a bitch.
You here for a picnic?
Are you? Well?
Only 1 0 days left,
and you're not even half way there.
Boss, the people here are really...
I told you, call me "Mr. Kim,"
Am I some kind of gangster?
Mr. Kim,
But the people
around here carry weapons!
They are scared of nothing.
So?
You want me to put you
on combat pay?
Pilje...
Pilje...
You know I love you, Pilje.
Please... get... a grip!
Now get out of here.
Mr. Kim! Uh...
Just get me the seal and stamp it!
Things have changed!
Either way, it works out the same.
I'll help you get paid more.
I know you don't want to do this.
You're not a bad man.
Goddammit! I am a bad man!
Can't you see?
Want to know
why I treated you well?
I wanted to see what it's like
to screw an athlete!
Happy?
I've got this one covered.
Go somewhere else.
Mr. Kim!
Crazy son of a bitch.
You're a disgrace.
I told you to get out of here...
Boss!
- What the hell...
- Hold on!
Crazy bitch...
Fight!
You're truly entertaining!
Hold it!
She's a woman, you bitch.
You bitch! Try and hit me again!
Filthy whore!
Hit me again!
Mr. Kim! Calm down.
She's just a kid,
she knows nothing.
I can take care of this, so...
Why? You on her side?
You two together?
Want to be buried together?
Goddam traitor!
Son of a bitch!
Die! Die, die, die!
Get a print!
Yes, Boss.
You need to step into line, bitch.
Get the whole village wrapped up!
Yes, Boss!
- Bastard!
- I said give it to me, dirty slut!
No way!
You treat your parents like this?
Son of a bitch!
Look! We gave it too much water,
it's died!
What'll happen to Grandpa?
Stay still, you dirty slut!
Stop!
No! No!
What are you doing, bitch?
It's my house! It's my house!
Just gimme the print, bitch!
Take it! Bitch!
Don't cry, girl!
We'll just plant another one!
What good is that?
It's rude to throw things
at grown-ups!
Why are you taking our house?
Bastards!
Take this.
Rent a room or something
with this money.
I've got you a little more.
It'll be enough for the moment.
Does that make you feel better?
You and I live our lives
by different rules.
You need to get him
to a hospital immediately.
What happens if he stays like this?
It will be hard for him
to keep going beyond six months.
I hate to ask this, but
six months in hospital...
how much?
Well...
it costs around 5 million won.
The year you were born.
Born on the same day, but this one
seems to have had a rougher ride.
Doesn't matter anyway.
The value stays the same.
And there's already a new one!
Seonju...
this is pretty hard to say.
But if I don't say it now,
I'll regret it. So...
The reason I wanted to meet you...
is that I want to be
a more special person to you,
in 2007.
A guy like me is nothing special.
You know I just run
a few vending machines and
sell coffee.
I know I'm inadequate
for a girl like you,
but I'm sure
I can give you a good life.
You know I can't
tell a lie, don't you?
If you reject me,
- I'll put so much sewage...
- Actually...
I've got a boyfriend.
What?
I should have told you before.
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry...
I'm sorry.
I had no idea...
I am very sorry.
I apologize.
How embarrassing.
Seonju!
Press the "out of order"
button on the vending machine!
I fixed it so you get a free drink.
Don't tell anyone else!
"Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and
you and your family will be saved. "
Lend me your lighter.
I can't find one.
Thanks.
Boss! Something's kicked off outside!
Geumcheon! Geumcheon!
You drive nails into others' hearts,
you'll end up paying for it.
What are you doing?
All I want is a place
To stay out of the wind and the rain.
Don't do this!
- Calm down!
- Why are you ruining my life?
Hopefully I'll be reborn
as a wild beast.
Don't do this!
Just talk to me for a while!
Don't do this!
Put the lighter away!
Don't do it!
Talk to me! Dammit!
Myeonho, I'm here.
Hey Myeongho.
You listen carefully to
what lm about to say.
You know what the doctor
has said.
Meyongran did all she could.
No daughter nowadays could
have done better.
As a father,
It wouldn't be right
to be a burden on her anymore.
We all die once.
Just take a shot of this.
Take a shot and just
go to sleep.
Then all the trouble
will be over.
You understand what
I'm saying, right?
Help me!
So long.
Help me!
When's your fight?
Day after tomorrow.
Confident?
I'm home.
Have you eaten?
Yeah.
Did you buy this stuff?
Some young man just brought it.
Asked me to give you a letter-
it's on the fridge.
Who is he?
I liked the look of him.
Seonju!
Everyone has things
they don't want to talk about.
You don't have to talk about it
if it's too hard.
I'm far from perfect myself..
It gives me hope
I can become a better person.
Oh yeah! I made up my mind
and bought some movie tickets.
This is a bit embarrassing,
but with trying to make ends meet
I've never been to a movie theater
in my whole life.
Let's start taking in some culture!
P.S.
I got tickets for a couple's seating.
Are you doing well in school?
Yes.
I see.
Where did you come in class?
He came in at the bottom of
his class again!
Oh...!
Am I wrong?
Do you want to make
your grandpa sad
By coming in last?
Study hard from now on.
- Yes.
- Good.
Stop! There are people in there!
What? People?
How come?
Myeongnan -
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry, Dad.
Don't say that!
Just wait a little longer.
I'm confident.
Get out!
The diggers can work
from here upwards...
Come on, move it! Run!
What the hell are you doing?
Move your asses!
The challenger, Son Myeongnan,
is practically an unknown commodity.
In fact, her father is the former
Asian champion,
Son Myeongho.
From the late 1980s,
if I remember correctly.
Myeongnan! Guard up!
Take it to her. That's right.
Strike short!
Strike short! Strike!
Just don't throw hooks.
Throw some body punches.
Like her father, this boxer seems
Extremely strong at close range.
The current champion,
Seo ln-yeong, is in real trouble.
Yes, she's taken a shower of hits
Right from the start.
She's driven her into the corner.
- A double hit to the stomach!
- You're right.
Son Myeongnan lets through a cut,
and Seo is off on the counter-attack.
The champion Seo hit back!
Right face!
Both fighters getting in
some hard punches.
Such passion right from the start!
Amazing.
- Go.
- Yes, Boss.
Open your eyes! Punch, girl!
Wow, she's been knocked down.
- Around the corner!
- Seo, fighting!
You got her well that time!
Get your breathing under control!
Get her with your right. Right here!
Keep on with the right, got it?
Fight!
Let me go, you bastard!
Get yourself together!
It's okay! Don't get up yet!
Get up on eight!
Wait till eight!
It's ok! It's ok!
Can you carry on?
Come out here.
Time!
Please take a look at this wound.
Wow- plenty of blood flowing!
Significant blood loss...
I can go on! I can!
It's all right.
Come on. Fight!
Turn around!
Didn't you hear me?
Turn the other way!
Turn around!
Turn around!
Turn around!
Why are those men
smashing up our house?
I said turn around!
Can't you hear me?
Turn around.
Turn around! Turn around!
Turn around! Around!
I'm sorry.
Please don't hit my brother.
You little shit!
Got no respect for anyone!
That's why everyone
calls you a filthy beggar!
Stupid morons...
Ildong.
Listen to me.
They're knocking down
your house
to build you a new one.
They can't built you a new house
without knocking down the old one.
Makes sense, doesn't it?
It's a good thing,
so don't cry.
Pray! Pray that
they'll build you a good house.
Turn around!
You guys know
the song about the toad?
Start singing it, okay?
Go!
~Mr. Toad, Mr. Toad!
- ~I'll give you an old house...
- Louder!
~so give me a new house!
Mr. Toad, Mr. Toad!
- ~I'll give you an old house.
- Louder!
~so give me a new house!
~Mr. Toad, Mr. Toad! I'll give you
an old house, so give me a new house!
~Mr. Toad, Mr. Toad! I'll give you
an old house, so give me a new house!
~Mr. Toad, Mr. Toad! I'll give you
an old house, so give me a new house!
~Mr. Toad, Mr. Toad!
Die, you son of a bitch!
I'm gonna kill you, son of bitch!
Two, three...
Four, five, six...
It's the final round in
Seo's 8th fight to defend
her championship.
All the way to Round 10!
- We're at the ultimate stage.
- Yes.
Myeongnan! Myeongnan!
Get a grip, my girl!
Can you see this?
Yes or no?
Can't you do this?
Shall we give up?
I'm okay.
I'm still standing.
It's hard to watch.
Myeongnan, are you okay?
- Don't throw in the towel.
- What?
Do not throw in the towel!
Understand?
You mustn't throw it in.
Get the chair!
Breathe! Breathe!
Myeongnan! You've won.
You're champion, girl!
This is the official result
announcement.
By 3-0, the judges unanimously
award victory to the red corner!
Dad!
Tired?
I'm really sorry.
I want to take good care of you,
But I can't.
Why?
You should have been
with me, even if it was hard.
You're the first man
I ever loved.
Why didn't you give me a chance?
Myeongnan.
What did I say I am?
Champion.
And what does that mean?
The strongest person in the world!
That's right.
You're a champion now.
So you mustn't show
your weaknesses!
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
Our house has gone.
It's all right.
- You just prayed lots, didn't you?
- Yes.
It's all right. It's all right.
Don't eat stuff
that's for Grandpa!
You'll drive me insane.
You what?
Don't hit me on the head!
What?
You want me to be
as dumb as you?
You out of your mind?
Ildong! Isun! Come and eat!
Yes, Mom.
Come on, girl.
What? you're going to
hit me after dinner?
Do not fight
in front of Mom, okay?
Did you hear me?
Behave yourself first.
Are you insane?
Did you sell your car?
Who drives a car
in today's traffic?
Why are you good to me?
You have a problem with it?
- Uncle!
- Yeah.
Thanks.
Shut up, girl!
Concentrate on your boxing.
And make sure you win
today's fight, okay?
It's a big one.
And don't call me 'Uncle!'
So what do I call you?
Just use my first name,
it sounds better.
Hello?
This is Cho Pilje, manager of
Asian champion Son Myeongnan.
Sorry... where? Spr...?
Could you say that again?
Spr...
Ah, Spris?
Ah, Spris.
Myeongnan! Myeongnan!
Hey, you...
Ugh. You're too much.
Myeongnan,
we've got a sponsor!
Spris is giving us
We've got good times ahead!
Finish this by Round 3!
I made a rendezvous
with their people for tonight, so...
Shut up! Down you go.
In spring,
the lilac reaches full bloom.
Do you know
what the lilac signifies?
No. what?
Memories ofyouth.
But can memories bloom
in a desert like this?
I guess it depends
on your heart.

One, two, one, two...
One, two, one, two...
Wow! My little girl's good!
All right!
Come here, darling.
Tired?
Myeongnan.
What did I say I am?
Champion!
And what does that mean?
The strongest person
in the world!
Right...
Did you write
what I told you to?
Yeah!
Let's see.
Dates, chestnuts, pears, apples...
- Something's missing!
- What?
Your mom's photo.
Go home and get the prettiest photo
you can find.
I'll finish this one
in three rounds. Okay?
Yeah.
Let's see
your punching skills...
- Relax!
- Yes, coach.
Just think of it as practice.
Assistants,
step out!
Fight!
Push him! Push him!
You should've out of his area! Hey!
Myeongho! 30 seconds to go!
How old is this guy?
Twelve years younger than you.
Was I that fast
when I was his age?
You certainly got married fast!
He's not even taking a drink.
Do you have
the strength to go on?
Today's the anniversary of
my wife's death.
Don't make me lose face.
Do you want to die, too?
Oh yeah, and I asked you to tell me
When there's 30 seconds to go!
Son of a bitch!
You mean you didn't hear me?
Move! Move!
Step out! Step out!
Four, five, six...
Seven, eight!
Miracle on 1st Street
How many families
left here now?
Around 30 families, I believe.
I was hoping I could give up
this stuff by now.
My family thinks
I'm a construction official.
What a disgrace.
Well, you do kind of work
in construction.
Goddammit Oksaeng,
I hate traveling with you!
Didn't I tell you
to fill it right up?
You give me 1 0,000 won a day.
That doesn't buy
enough gas to get very far.
When I asked for 1 0,000 won's
worth at the gas station,
the sons of bitches died
laughing!
Son of bitches.
Don't lie to me.
Does 1 0,000 buy
enough gas for one day?
Oil prices are sky high these days.
We should get a slightly smaller car.
I wouldn't be seen dead
in a smaller car!
Sorry, boss.
This is driving me crazy.
- Go past him on the left.
- I can't get through!
Damned granddad! Go left! Left!
Crazy old guy!
This is driving me insane!
This insane old fart
is just asking for it.
What a day!
Just ignoring me like that...
Hey! Granddad! You deaf?
Hey!
Oh, my God.
Why would we be
responsible for him?
Well, do you have contact details
for someone responsible?
How the hell would we know?
This is crazy.
You sort this out.
For chriss...
I told you, I don't know him!
Deokgu, it's dinner time.
Dad, stop that and come eat.
Dad! You'll wear your belt out!
Hey! Get up!
Come on. Wedgy... wedgy...
Get up, now!
Stop! Hey!
Wait a minute!
Myeongnan! What are you doing?
- Going to work!
- Get on the bus!
Running is faster!
How can running be faster?
My god.
Crazy bitch...
Where's Pine Tree Village?
Dirty damned son of a bitch...
I am the defender of planet earth!
- Shut up, girl!
- What the hell?
Die!
That was too hard.
What the hell?
You brats going to let me through?
Don't move.
Oh no. he's getting out.
It's okay. Don't be scared.
What is this?
And who are you?
So you want to take me on? You two?
You're a bad man, aren't you?
Do I look like a bad man?
I'm a very good man.
This is a road, with cars on it.
You can't play here.
It's dangerous. You're cute kids,
don't argue with me.
Just stand aside. Got it?
The maniacs round here even send
their kids out to block the streets.
Draw!
Just stay right there!
Don't move! Got it?
I'm going to run you right over.
Don't move.
I'll sort these little brats out.
Why has this stopped?
Oksaeng, that son of a bitch.
Push harder you brats!
What's wrong with you?
That's enough!
Now beat it. Go home!
What a place...
He's got a TV!
Hey! Cool...
Get away from there!
Beat it!
What a dump...
Little brats. Goddammit.
Ildong, Deokgu's flying!
Quick, come and watch.
What the hell are you doing?
Come down!
What a moron!
Hey dumbass! Put 100 boxes on.
Dumbass! Think I'm paying you
more for coming in early?
- Have you had breakfast?
- I think I have...
What d'you mean, think you have?
There's a cream cake and a bean cake,
which one are you having?
Half and half, please.
You think this is a pizza?
Son of a...
Why are you so hungry?
Hey!
But only when I understood the true
essence of network marketing
did my life begin to
be transformed!
Of course, some mindless people
misunderstand it.
They say it's multi'-level marketing.
Pyramid schemes!
In the face of such ignorant,
backward people
You must shout loud and clear:
My work is not a pyramid scheme!
It is network marketing!
People, this is
NETWORK MARKETlNG!
- What are you doing?
- What do you mean?
That's water from the bathroom.
It's tap water. It's clean.
But you got it from the bathroom!
Come on,
it's not going to kill anyone.
It's not a question of dying.
You mean I've been drinking
three glasses of sewage water
every day?
That's a bit harsh...
It gets boiled in here anyway.
Is that how you talk to a customer?
Come on! You? A customer?
What did you just say?
Are you laughing?
What's worse, cola from there
or tap water from here?
What does cola have
to do with this?
You want me to get
you spring water?
Shouldn't you at least
be putting in mineral water?
I'm reporting you for this!
Wait!
Hey!
Ildong! Are you out there?
I'm here.
Don't go.
Okay, just hurry up and shit.
I'm scared. Sing me a song.
Just take your shit!
Sing me a song!
Silly girl.
Now!
Goddammit.
~Mother, sister,
let's go live by the river...
~Sparkling water...
So you want to live by the river?
You know how much
and costs by the river?
I want to live by the river too.
Get out!
Get the hell out!
I really need to go.
Shit.
Dammit... what's with you?
Stop making faces at people...
Is there a toilet with a seat here?
A toilet with what?
You don't know?
Pardon me for asking.
No light switch?
Be careful.
If you fall in, you'll die.
Look at how these kids talk!
~Mother, sister,
let's go live by the river...
What the hell?
Goddammit!
Hey! Stop!
Son of a bitch, you're dead!
Stand still!
What the...?
Hey! Hey!
Stupid girl!
Your new job
is a pyramid scheme?
I said it's not pyramid scheme!
It's network marketing!
You don't even know.
And you know so much!
Just go back to the factory!
It was a hard job to get.
I hate being a sweatshop girl!
You still don't get it!
Want today to be your last?
Stop hitting me!
You're ruining my life! Bitch!
Stupid girl!
When will you grow up?
Hit me once more, I'll leave home!
Then leave! And don't come back!
If you come home today
I'll break your legs.
It's time that
you stopped dreaming!
Who the hell are you?
Why should I sign your papers?
For a crappy sum of money? Bastard!
Bring me a new house
and I'll give you this one!
That's not enough money
to buy my toilet.
- Don't push!
- Get out!
How dare you play dirty tricks here!
You're the world's biggest crook!
Hey! Since when did our village
have one of those?
I wanted to draw it!
Moron! You're supposed to
draw our village.
That's your homework!
Jeez, you made me jump.
Just you kids here?
Yes.
- Who's legally responsible for you?
- What does that mean?
What do you think?
The person who looks after you!
Driving me mad.
- Does your grandpa pull a cart?
- Yes.
- Excuse me.
- Son of a bitch!
Where have you been?
Your phone was switched off!
- Grandpa!
- B... Battery.
The battery ran out.
What's wrong with Grandpa?
- I don't know, you little brat!
- What's wrong with him?
- Cancer!
- Pardon?
- Cancer!
- It's cancer?
Yes. They said stomach cancer.
- Does it hurt a lot?
- I don't know! Just drop it.
It doesn't hurt much.
Get me your granddad's seal.
No, it's okay. I don't need it.
Grandpa!
Okay, that's one down...
What is that?
This? A consent form for surgery.
Surgery?
If he gets any worse,
they may have to operate.
Don't worry.
It'll clear right up
in a few days.
Nurse him well, okay?
Come on, you son of a bitch.
- Grandpa!
- Dammit. Just kill me now.
Goddammit.
You call this an accommodation?
Is something the matter, boss?
Am I on military service?
Are we on commando training?
Have you seen the bathroom?
The bathroom?
You can't even breathe in there!
Go air it out a bit and clean it up!
Call Mr. Kim and get him
to bring a toilet with a seat.
How do they expect us
to work here?
What the hell is this? Dammit.
A natural thug like you can't
even do a frickin' simple...
What the... Speak of the devil.
It's not small!
In the army
this would sleep 30 people.
Don't worry.
If words don't persuade them,
We can get more physical.
Anyway, you should see this land.
It's hot stuff.
with apartment blocks behind this.
To the side of this...
Hello...
Hello?
Wouldn't mind killing
that son of a bitch!
You're dead.
Goddammit! Why the hell do you
come here and do this crazy stuff?
Son of a...
What the hell are you doing?
Absolute moron...
Hey! Lady of the mountain
spring water!
Are you on the way home?
Jump in. I'll take you there.
I'm fine.
Honestly, I put mineral water
in normally.
Yesterday was a real emergency.
You make me laugh.
Hey! I'm a really hard worker.
Of course.
Working really hard to fill
our machine with sewage.
Not again!
Sewage, such
a dirty word from such a pretty face.
I'm only saying this
because you made a mistake.
Would I be saying this
if you'd done nothing wrong?
You're a strange, middle-aged man.
Hey!
- What?
- Why am I middle-aged?
- Middle-aged man.
- What?
Do you play soccer
early in the morning?
Yes.
So you are middle-aged!
It's right here.
Wow... You live here?
I lived around here 1 0 years ago.
It got filled with
apartments in no time!
- Take care.
- Good bye...
Seonju!
Yes?
Do you really drink 3 coffees a day
from my vending machine?
I often drink four.
Anyway, what kind of person
charges 400 won for a coffee?
It's a complete ripoff!
What about the cost of labor?
Just picking up my shoes!
Fine.
Hey!
Spread your hands!
What the...? Stupid girl!
Hey! Duck!
Get your hands forward, girl!
Open your eyes!
Come out of the corner!
Hands forward!
Hands right forward!
Duck!
That's it.
Faster!
Stupid girl.
Did you trade in your hands
at the pawn shop?
If you want to push
with your neck and body,
you should do wrestling or judo.
Why boxing?
You need to use your head!
Stupid girl!
Why do you hit me
when I'm eating?
You still have an appetite
after that bout?
Calm down.
You might collapse again.
The best thing for heart disease
is to stay calm.
If there's one thing you can do,
it's talk.
You're exactly like your father.
Coach!
Outside the gym, call me Uncle.
Uncle, can I fight Seo ln-yeong?
Seo ln-yeong?
The Asian champion?
They say no one
is challenging her now.
Myeongnan,
What's your fight history?
Five fights: one draw,
four defeats.
You actually got a draw?
Eat up.
Is this a foreign car?
Who's there?
If I catch you, you're dead!
Dammit, nothing
in this place even works.
Hello?
My water supply's been cut off.
- Yeah, the address is...
- 1st Street, Pine Village
It's on top of the hill.
Everyone else seems
to know where it is.
The place that's up for demolition?
They're planning to
cut off the water there.
But everywhere in Korea
has a water supply!
It's a unique area,
please understand our situation.
Understand?
You're goddam telling us
all to just die?
What the hell...
Who's your manager?
What's your name?
Give me your name, now!
Do you know who I am?
I'm a reporter for the
Just stay right where you are.
I'm coming after you with a camera!
So stop talking crap
and get the hell up here!
You don't understand me?
Haven't quite grasped the situation?
Reconnect me within an hour,
Or else!
They said no, didn't they?
Have you set up the toilet?
Hello?
You... from the toilet...
the other night...
Do you own this place?
Get me your dad's seal.
Hey! Didn't you hear me?
I said, bring me your father's seal!
You're not a real woman yet.
I saw you.
Do you want to die?
What did you just say?
What?
You want to fight a round?
Are you out of your mind?
You've really landed yourself in it.
Myeongnan!
Are you still here?
You son of a bitch!
This thing could kill somebody!
What's up with you, sister?
You can keep quiet!
Or I'll kill you, dammit.
Can't you talk to me nice and slow?
Just piss off!
Try attacking me without a weapon!
Then I'll give you a proper fight.
Stay here all you like,
you're nothing!
Son of a bitch!
When I was young,
this road was so high and so long,
now it feels so short.
I can get all the way up
in one breath.
Want to see?
Here we go, hold on tight!
Quick hands,
slice through the wind...
These sounds aren't from my mouth.
My mouth is not moving!
Dad, my fists are really fast, right?
Sometimes
my fists are too fast even for me to see.
How scary is that for my opponents?
Dad.
Just wait a little while,
I'll put the championship belt
around your waist again.
Okay? I mean it.
I'm confident!
Myeongnan, fighting!
Look, strawberry cake.
Wow, cool.
I've heard of a chocolate bar,
but what's a milk bar?
Myeongnan's breasts.
Myeongnan has no breasts. I saw.
- You really saw?
- I really saw.
Where?
Ildong! Look at this!
Grandpa has cancer, doesn't he?
It says tomatoes are the best cure.
Won't they make Grandpa better?
That's so hot!
So hot...
Hello?
Yes. I'm trying to set up
an internet connection.
Brats, you need to make sure
you get yourselves some land.
Do you know how important it is
to get land in Korea?
It's me.
Could you bring me
I brought 300 meters with me
but it's not enough.
I'm at that slum called 1st Street.
It's a long story.
I don't know! He said he was
a reporter from KBS 9 o'Clock News.
No, KBS! Not MBC! KBS!
Dammit.
He was really talking down to me,
like he was important.
The joker said he's doing research!
Please get me that cable!
- Is he on the internet?
- Yeah.
That guy's amazing.
They said there was no internet here.
And our water supply got fixed
right after he came here.
Wow...!
I'll put you on a 3-year contract.
- 2 weeks!
- I'm sorry?
Two weeks, man!
If that's all you want,
you should go to an internet cafe.
Do you see any internet cafes
around here?
Could you please make
an initial payment of 50,000 won?
Why?
Well, Mr. Cho, you have
a bad credit rating.
So we need to take an initial payment
before opening your connection.
So poor people shouldn't use
the internet?
I don't make the rules, you know.
Who does, then? Maybe you
should call your boss out here!
Are these hard times for reporters?
My job is to pursue the truth.
I'll take this one.
That one only comes free
with a three-year contract.
That's outrageous!
It's a basic rule.
What? Basic rule?
More like misleading advertising.
Want to be on the news
for false advertising?
Am I wrong?
Ildong, will the tomatoes
really grow?
Are you a moron?
If you plant tomatoes, you'll get
tomatoes. It's common sense.
What does common sense mean?
Don't you even know?
Do you know?
No.
Dammit...
Hey!
Got some kimchi at your place?
Kimchi.
Just a little bit!
Did you make this?
This kimchi tastes of nothing,
Did you even put spices in it?
Have you got any noodles left?
Yeah.
How old are you?
You'll end up in hell
for what you're doing.
We're offering you
a lot of money to leave.
Wouldn't we both be happy
if we just did the deal?
There's never been
a way out of poverty.
You know why?
Poor people
just don't listen to anyone.
Worst thing is,
poor people
always stick to themselves.
There's no chance of progress.
Hey!
Ildong! None of them have grown.
Still a long time yet.
Shouldn't we water them?
Really? Just a bit, then.
How much?
- One cup.
- What size cup?
A gourd of water.
Isn't that too much?
Too much water might kill them.
It won't, you little brats.
You guys are full of suspicion.
Get me a cup of barley water!
We got none.
We got some mineral water.
Anything cold, you brat!
She into sports?
You mean Myeongnan?
That's her name?
What's her sport?
- Pugilism!
- Boxing?
Pugilism!
Myeongnan's father
was Asian champion.
- Dumbass! I need 100 boxes here.
- Yes boss.
Hey! Who's coming
to Chuncheon with me?
- Me...! Me! Me!
- Me!
Bunch of losers.
Dumbass.
Want to go to Chuncheon?
Is that okay?
Get these crates loaded then.
Dumbass,
how much you earn per day?
Guys get 30,000 and you 25,000?
Mean bastards.
Take this and call it a day.
Just take it!
Seonju, want to have
dinner with me?
What kind of woman do you like?
Me? A good, honest person.
Good and honest.
I like that. Good and...
Drink some cola!
I don't drink soda.
Do they have juice here?
Juice?
At a barbecue restaurant?
So drinking sewage is okay, but
not juice in a barbecue restaurant?
That's enough about sewage!
Seems like you're about to hit me.
Stop talking about sewage!
You like me, don't you?
What?
It's just too bad.
Mom said don't go near anyone
that's not a doctor or lawyer.
That stuff no longer applies!
You need a professional who's an expert.
No! Now is the era
of network marketing!
No, no. Wrong.
What's wrong?
Don't do things like that.
Things like what?
You're not really the type
for a pyramid scheme.
I told you, it's not like that.
It's all the same. You should know.
How many times do I have to say it?
It's network marketing!
You worked hard. Have a drink.
- I'm okay, thanks.
- Come on!
It'll stop you feeling tired.
Cheers!
Myeongnan...
Myeongnan!
Since we're out here,
let's try a local hot spring.
- A hot spring?
- Yeah.
I'm all right.
I'm okay. I just want to go back.
Come on girl. It's really good!
I don't want to. I'm going.
All right. Let's just
take a break for 30 minutes.
Let go of me.
Come on! You're not a kid!
Let me go!
Just stay still!
Son of a bitch!
Automatic vending machine guy
Appearance: A, Personality: A
A school career:
Graduated High school?
Monthly income : $1000-1500?
That's so damn loud.
Silly bitch. Just keep quiet.
Stop messing around
and get yourself married.
It's your duty to your mother.
How do I get married with
no money?
Who gets married to
a penniless woman nowadays?
Then earn some money!
You can't even feed yourself,
so stop talking crap.
I'm going to make money.
I mean it!
When I've earned money,
I'm leaving this hole forever!
I'll kill you, you bitch.
I'm going to be rich!
Where the hell are you going?
For a piss!
Can't even
take a crap in peace...
That guy does nothing but crap.
Hey! Crazy bitch!
What the hell is wrong with you?
Huh?
Huh?
I have to leave
this crazy place.
Dammit, my back hurts.
This is driving me mad.
Is she some kind of gangster?
Go and puke in your own house!
Hey!
That's filthy!
Fricking disgusting!
This is driving me insane!
You're the craziest bitch
I've ever seen!
What a smell!
Boss, I brought you a...
Sorry, Boss.
Have a pleasant evening.
Don't be stupid!
Get me some water you bitch!
What the hell did you hit?
A person or a wall?
Are you a man or a woman?
Does seem like a woman...
Goddammit!
Make sure you clean
the inside bits!
Yes.
By the way...
What?
What is your job?
What do you think?
Since you came here,
water supply is fixed,
and we have internet connection.
They say you're like Superman.
- Superman?
- Yes.
Who told you?
Goddammit. I try so hard
to keep it a secret.
Now I've been found out again!
Keep this to yourselves!
Don't tell anyone about this.
- All right.
- Dammit, how the hell
can I hide my identity?
Go and wash that shirt.
Get rid of the smell.
Did Myeongnan sleep there
last night?
Yeah... why?
And she's changed clothes.
Just wash the goddam car!
You little brat!
Are you throwing out
this noodle box?
What box?
This noodle box.
Yeah. Help yourself.
Thank you.
Hey! Filthy beggars!
What did you say?
What did you just say?
I didn't say anything.
Say one more thing and
you're dead!
What are you crying about, girl?
Tell me if anyone makes fun of you.
I won't stand for it. Okay?
Let's go, girl.
Bring me a wet towel,
And some kind of disinfectant!
All right.
How did you get yourself
In such a state, boy?
Show some strength!
I'll buy some medicine,
come and get it from the gym.
Thank you.
Turn your dad over regularly.
Okay.
Since when has he been
incontinent?
It's been quite a while.
Why didn't you say something?
What's with your hand?
Uncle.
I want to fight Seo ln-yeong.
Why do you want to fight so bad?
Why did you box?
I'm a dumb guy,
I had nothing else to show people!
And I'm a dumb daughter,
I have nothing else to show my dad.
I can win! I can be a champion!
What difference does being
a champion make?
Think that's
what your father would want?
He's like that because of me!
Snap out of it!
Can you see these? Yes or no?
Can't you do this?
Shall we give up?
I'm okay. I'm still standing.
Fighting! Fighting!
Give up!
Automatic vending machine
Hello?
It's me. Where are you?
Where do you think?
At home...
I need to see you.
- Sorry?
- I'm waiting outside your apartment.
Where?
This'll drive me crazy.
Why are you doing this to me?
Where are you going in this rain?
- Nowhere!
- Where are you going, bitch?
For a piss!
You go more than
How come we have
no good umbrellas?
You always shoot off at night!
Why have you come?
Are you on your way home?
I've been jogging.
What can I do for you?
I have to raise
my coffee prices tomorrow.
- What?
- I just can't make a profit.
So...?
So there.
Is that all?
Yes.
Thank you for coming out.
Well, I'll be off then.
Hey!
You went jogging in these shoes?
~I don't know why it is...
~But the whole world
looks beautiful...
Goddammit!
Sorry, I won!
Please help us!
What's up?
What am I doing?
This is driving me insane.
It's leaking there too!
God! You drive me mad.
Hey! Is it still leaking on
that side?
Yes.
Tell me exactly where the leak is,
you brat! Damn!
There... here...
There... there... and here!
Shut up you brat!
Goddam useless kid!
I wish money poured down
from the sky like this.
Washed it?
Why does a girl like you box?
To become Asian champion.
To be world champion
means something.
Asian champion is
just embarrassing.
So why are you into demolition?
Fancy a drink?
Still, you're a woman.
Boxing? Damn...
Can you make some money
being Asian champion?
You could earn more as a laborer.
You got to be crazy
to beat each other up
Till you end up shitting blood.
It's insane.
But you know, you feel good
after taking a beating.
Getting hit turns you on?
What kind of pervert are you?
Doesn't it hurt?
Hurts, doesn't it?
You're the craziest bitch ever!
But...
A lot of things in life...
...hurt much more.
Do you know what they are?
No. What are they?
Absolutely crazy! Damn...
Ride it!
FYl, there are 21 gears.
Wow, that feels good.
Have you always lived here?
No.
- So where are you from?
- Geochang.
Why did you come to Seoul?
To live with Grandpa.
Where are your parents, then?
We have no dad.
And Mom ran away.
Mom didn't run away!
Grandpa said she went
away to work.
That's running away.
No it isn't!
What do you know?
She did run away, you moron!
No! You're the moron!
Are you arguing with me, moron?
You want to hit me?
Try it! Hit me!
- You want to die?
- Just try and kill me! Try it!
Can't you shut the hell up?
Why are you brats fighting?
And you, you bitch.
Shut about their mom running away!
Shut up, bitch!
You people stress me out!
Why do you keep doing
this crazy stuff up here?
Stand straight
and don't be afraid!
Hold on here!
Okay!
You need to know
how to use the wind.
Entrust yourself to the wind!
And trust me!
Understand?
If you fly this time, no more running
around up here!
Okay? Promise!
Right! Don't be scared,
this is safe! Okay! Go!
One, two, three...
Oh, my!
Are your legs okay?
Deokgu!
What the...?
Are you all right?
Who did this to you?
Damn...
I'm going to kill you!
He flies around...
you've seen it, right?
Black coffee 50cent, Coffee 50cent
Ildong? Are tomatoes
fruits or vegetables?
Fruit.
Not vegetables?
Are you nuts?
You buy them from a fruit shop.
The vegetable shop sells them too.
Still, they're fruits.
Can you prove it?
Girl, are you a detective?
What do you mean prove it?
Just asking.
What?
You want to eat it?
No.
It's all right to pick up
things off the street!
Still, we mustn't. Let's go.
Put that down, girl!
Dirty little bastard!
What did you just take?
Nothing...
What's this then? Nothing?
Already a thief, at your age?
Rude bastard.
To the police station!
I didn't steal it!
It had fallen on the ground!
Aren't you from the slum?
Rude little bastard!
Come with me!
I didn't steal it! Honestly!
Shut up!
In any case,
it's you that keep stealing things!
Good-for-nothing brats!
What the...? You little...
What are you doing?
He's done nothing wrong!
Cocky youngster!
Come with me, brat!
Isun! Isun!
Kids like you need a proper beating
till you learn anything!
You son of a bitch!
Ildong!
Who the hell are you?
What are you doing?
Did you steal something?
Son of a bitch! Better ask the police
to get you compensation for this:
Wife-and child-beaters like you are
The lowest of the low,
motherfucker!
I'll break your wrists!
What were you trying to eat?
Say something, brats!
To... tomato.
Tomato?
Take as many as you want.
Take them, quickly!
You think one's enough?
Take more!
Take a load, you brats!
So you could eat till you burst!
You take one too.
Give me a discount since
I'm buying two boxes.
What the hell's going on?
Who told you to spar?
Get down!
Are you confident?
I'm confident I can take the blows.
That won't win a fight.
You need to hit your opponent.
If I can take the blows,
I'll get some punches in.
So you're resilient?
You say that, but just wait
until you're in a real fight.
- Myeongnan.
- Yes.
You know I've looked after
Your father since
before he was born?
He must have been
in middle school.
He came to me with two black eyes,
and asked me to teach him boxing.
But you don't learn boxing
just to fight with people!
He ran around after me
for two months.
I told him I'd teach him a lesson,
told him to put the gloves on.
Said I'd teach him to box
If he lasted three rounds
against me.
I wanted to put the kid
in his place.
I let loose with my fists.
He kept going for 1 8 rounds!
The die-hard bastard!
I asked him why he was
so hell-bent on learning to box.
He told me he'd taken a beating
in front of a girl
Who he had a crush on,
from a guy that did boxing.
He was so naive!
That girl that he loved in secret
was your mother.
You've got ten days left.
Work hard.
Ildong - we've got enough here
to make ketchup with some to spare!
Let's eat just one.
We have to give them to grandpa.
No one will notice...
It's him!!
We'll have to go the other way.
- Why?
- Just follow me, girl!
Ildong!
Where are you going?
Oh no...
Did you hit my brother?
He kept calling me a beggar...
You are a beggar!
No I'm not.
Want to die today?
Really? Then stay standing.
Ildong!
Don't touch them.
You can hit me instead!
- lldong!
- Strike!
- lldong...
- Die, filthy beggars!
They tasted good.
It's okay.
We can get some more.
Ildong, I miss mum.
I told you, she abandoned us.
Why do you miss her?
She ran away just because
you're a bad boy!
- I know it!
- What do you know?
Why hit me?
You'll become a gangster.
Are you arguing with me, moron?
Even I wouldn't want to
bring you up!
Mum was right to run away!
Get up!
Who asked you to bring me up?
Leave me then!
Do what you like.
Ildong! Ildong!
Why on earth do you want to fly?
Think you're a bird or something?
Birds fly to stay alive,
And it's exhausting.
It's not because they like it!
You understand me?
Holding the wings
by hand won't work.
You need to attach them to his body.
Are you insane?
What's up with those two?
Hey!
Come here!
You should've hit him first!
You just sat there
and took it! Jeez!
Hum!
Are you out of your goddam mind?
You little brats!
Stop messing around, brats!
You're supposed to be washing.
Little brats...
So you want to play games?
Hey!
I'm going to fight
the Asian champion!
You are dead...
You son of a bitch.
You here for a picnic?
Are you? Well?
Only 1 0 days left,
and you're not even half way there.
Boss, the people here are really...
I told you, call me "Mr. Kim,"
Am I some kind of gangster?
Mr. Kim,
But the people
around here carry weapons!
They are scared of nothing.
So?
You want me to put you
on combat pay?
Pilje...
Pilje...
You know I love you, Pilje.
Please... get... a grip!
Now get out of here.
Mr. Kim! Uh...
Just get me the seal and stamp it!
Things have changed!
Either way, it works out the same.
I'll help you get paid more.
I know you don't want to do this.
You're not a bad man.
Goddammit! I am a bad man!
Can't you see?
Want to know
why I treated you well?
I wanted to see what it's like
to screw an athlete!
Happy?
I've got this one covered.
Go somewhere else.
Mr. Kim!
Crazy son of a bitch.
You're a disgrace.
I told you to get out of here...
Boss!
- What the hell...
- Hold on!
Crazy bitch...
Fight!
You're truly entertaining!
Hold it!
She's a woman, you bitch.
You bitch! Try and hit me again!
Filthy whore!
Hit me again!
Mr. Kim! Calm down.
She's just a kid,
she knows nothing.
I can take care of this, so...
Why? You on her side?
You two together?
Want to be buried together?
Goddam traitor!
Son of a bitch!
Die! Die, die, die!
Get a print!
Yes, Boss.
You need to step into line, bitch.
Get the whole village wrapped up!
Yes, Boss!
- Bastard!
- I said give it to me, dirty slut!
No way!
You treat your parents like this?
Son of a bitch!
Look! We gave it too much water,
it's died!
What'll happen to Grandpa?
Stay still, you dirty slut!
Stop!
No! No!
What are you doing, bitch?
It's my house! It's my house!
Just gimme the print, bitch!
Take it! Bitch!
Don't cry, girl!
We'll just plant another one!
What good is that?
It's rude to throw things
at grown-ups!
Why are you taking our house?
Bastards!
Take this.
Rent a room or something
with this money.
I've got you a little more.
It'll be enough for the moment.
Does that make you feel better?
You and I live our lives
by different rules.
You need to get him
to a hospital immediately.
What happens if he stays like this?
It will be hard for him
to keep going beyond six months.
I hate to ask this, but
six months in hospital...
how much?
Well...
it costs around 5 million won.
The year you were born.
Born on the same day, but this one
seems to have had a rougher ride.
Doesn't matter anyway.
The value stays the same.
And there's already a new one!
Seonju...
this is pretty hard to say.
But if I don't say it now,
I'll regret it. So...
The reason I wanted to meet you...
is that I want to be
a more special person to you,
in 2007.
A guy like me is nothing special.
You know I just run
a few vending machines and
sell coffee.
I know I'm inadequate
for a girl like you,
but I'm sure
I can give you a good life.
You know I can't
tell a lie, don't you?
If you reject me,
- I'll put so much sewage...
- Actually...
I've got a boyfriend.
What?
I should have told you before.
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry...
I'm sorry.
I had no idea...
I am very sorry.
I apologize.
How embarrassing.
Seonju!
Press the "out of order"
button on the vending machine!
I fixed it so you get a free drink.
Don't tell anyone else!
"Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and
you and your family will be saved. "
Lend me your lighter.
I can't find one.
Thanks.
Boss! Something's kicked off outside!
Geumcheon! Geumcheon!
You drive nails into others' hearts,
you'll end up paying for it.
What are you doing?
All I want is a place
To stay out of the wind and the rain.
Don't do this!
- Calm down!
- Why are you ruining my life?
Hopefully I'll be reborn
as a wild beast.
Don't do this!
Just talk to me for a while!
Don't do this!
Put the lighter away!
Don't do it!
Talk to me! Dammit!
Myeonho, I'm here.
Hey Myeongho.
You listen carefully to
what lm about to say.
You know what the doctor
has said.
Meyongran did all she could.
No daughter nowadays could
have done better.
As a father,
It wouldn't be right
to be a burden on her anymore.
We all die once.
Just take a shot of this.
Take a shot and just
go to sleep.
Then all the trouble
will be over.
You understand what
I'm saying, right?
Help me!
So long.
Help me!
When's your fight?
Day after tomorrow.
Confident?
I'm home.
Have you eaten?
Yeah.
Did you buy this stuff?
Some young man just brought it.
Asked me to give you a letter-
it's on the fridge.
Who is he?
I liked the look of him.
Seonju!
Everyone has things
they don't want to talk about.
You don't have to talk about it
if it's too hard.
I'm far from perfect myself..
It gives me hope
I can become a better person.
Oh yeah! I made up my mind
and bought some movie tickets.
This is a bit embarrassing,
but with trying to make ends meet
I've never been to a movie theater
in my whole life.
Let's start taking in some culture!
P.S.
I got tickets for a couple's seating.
Are you doing well in school?
Yes.
I see.
Where did you come in class?
He came in at the bottom of
his class again!
Oh...!
Am I wrong?
Do you want to make
your grandpa sad
By coming in last?
Study hard from now on.
- Yes.
- Good.
Stop! There are people in there!
What? People?
How come?
Myeongnan -
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry, Dad.
Don't say that!
Just wait a little longer.
I'm confident.
Get out!
The diggers can work
from here upwards...
Come on, move it! Run!
What the hell are you doing?
Move your asses!
The challenger, Son Myeongnan,
is practically an unknown commodity.
In fact, her father is the former
Asian champion,
Son Myeongho.
From the late 1980s,
if I remember correctly.
Myeongnan! Guard up!
Take it to her. That's right.
Strike short!
Strike short! Strike!
Just don't throw hooks.
Throw some body punches.
Like her father, this boxer seems
Extremely strong at close range.
The current champion,
Seo ln-yeong, is in real trouble.
Yes, she's taken a shower of hits
Right from the start.
She's driven her into the corner.
- A double hit to the stomach!
- You're right.
Son Myeongnan lets through a cut,
and Seo is off on the counter-attack.
The champion Seo hit back!
Right face!
Both fighters getting in
some hard punches.
Such passion right from the start!
Amazing.
- Go.
- Yes, Boss.
Open your eyes! Punch, girl!
Wow, she's been knocked down.
- Around the corner!
- Seo, fighting!
You got her well that time!
Get your breathing under control!
Get her with your right. Right here!
Keep on with the right, got it?
Fight!
Let me go, you bastard!
Get yourself together!
It's okay! Don't get up yet!
Get up on eight!
Wait till eight!
It's ok! It's ok!
Can you carry on?
Come out here.
Time!
Please take a look at this wound.
Wow- plenty of blood flowing!
Significant blood loss...
I can go on! I can!
It's all right.
Come on. Fight!
Turn around!
Didn't you hear me?
Turn the other way!
Turn around!
Turn around!
Turn around!
Why are those men
smashing up our house?
I said turn around!
Can't you hear me?
Turn around.
Turn around! Turn around!
Turn around! Around!
I'm sorry.
Please don't hit my brother.
You little shit!
Got no respect for anyone!
That's why everyone
calls you a filthy beggar!
Stupid morons...
Ildong.
Listen to me.
They're knocking down
your house
to build you a new one.
They can't built you a new house
without knocking down the old one.
Makes sense, doesn't it?
It's a good thing,
so don't cry.
Pray! Pray that
they'll build you a good house.
Turn around!
You guys know
the song about the toad?
Start singing it, okay?
Go!
~Mr. Toad, Mr. Toad!
- ~I'll give you an old house...
- Louder!
~so give me a new house!
Mr. Toad, Mr. Toad!
- ~I'll give you an old house.
- Louder!
~so give me a new house!
~Mr. Toad, Mr. Toad! I'll give you
an old house, so give me a new house!
~Mr. Toad, Mr. Toad! I'll give you
an old house, so give me a new house!
~Mr. Toad, Mr. Toad! I'll give you
an old house, so give me a new house!
~Mr. Toad, Mr. Toad!
Die, you son of a bitch!
I'm gonna kill you, son of bitch!
Two, three...
Four, five, six...
It's the final round in
Seo's 8th fight to defend
her championship.
All the way to Round 10!
- We're at the ultimate stage.
- Yes.
Myeongnan! Myeongnan!
Get a grip, my girl!
Can you see this?
Yes or no?
Can't you do this?
Shall we give up?
I'm okay.
I'm still standing.
It's hard to watch.
Myeongnan, are you okay?
- Don't throw in the towel.
- What?
Do not throw in the towel!
Understand?
You mustn't throw it in.
Get the chair!
Breathe! Breathe!
Myeongnan! You've won.
You're champion, girl!
This is the official result
announcement.
By 3-0, the judges unanimously
award victory to the red corner!
Dad!
Tired?
I'm really sorry.
I want to take good care of you,
But I can't.
Why?
You should have been
with me, even if it was hard.
You're the first man
I ever loved.
Why didn't you give me a chance?
Myeongnan.
What did I say I am?
Champion.
And what does that mean?
The strongest person in the world!
That's right.
You're a champion now.
So you mustn't show
your weaknesses!
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
Our house has gone.
It's all right.
- You just prayed lots, didn't you?
- Yes.
It's all right. It's all right.
Don't eat stuff
that's for Grandpa!
You'll drive me insane.
You what?
Don't hit me on the head!
What?
You want me to be
as dumb as you?
You out of your mind?
Ildong! Isun! Come and eat!
Yes, Mom.
Come on, girl.
What? you're going to
hit me after dinner?
Do not fight
in front of Mom, okay?
Did you hear me?
Behave yourself first.
Are you insane?
Did you sell your car?
Who drives a car
in today's traffic?
Why are you good to me?
You have a problem with it?
- Uncle!
- Yeah.
Thanks.
Shut up, girl!
Concentrate on your boxing.
And make sure you win
today's fight, okay?
It's a big one.
And don't call me 'Uncle!'
So what do I call you?
Just use my first name,
it sounds better.
Hello?
This is Cho Pilje, manager of
Asian champion Son Myeongnan.
Sorry... where? Spr...?
Could you say that again?
Spr...
Ah, Spris?
Ah, Spris.
Myeongnan! Myeongnan!
Hey, you...
Ugh. You're too much.
Myeongnan,
we've got a sponsor!
Spris is giving us
We've got good times ahead!
Finish this by Round 3!
I made a rendezvous
with their people for tonight, so...
Shut up! Down you go.
In spring,
the lilac reaches full bloom.
Do you know
what the lilac signifies?
No. what?
Memories ofyouth.
But can memories bloom
in a desert like this?
I guess it depends
on your heart.
