Episode 1
Episode 1 Sang-hyuk! Sang-hyuk! Sang-hyuk! Hey we aren't late, are we? Hold on.
Hey, the bus, the bus! Let's go! Push, push.
Hurry get on! Just get in, get in.
Hey Don't you need to get on?
Mister, wait a moment! Go on ahead.
Be careful! Mister! Where in the world is this place? What were you doing, not waking me up? What grade are you in? Hey Aren't you afraid of 'Gargamel'?
(Gargamel from 'Smurfs') Out of the entire junior class, I've never met anyone
so foolishly gutsy.
What are you waiting for? We gotta ride together in
order to save on taxi fare! Hey! Why aren't you quickly coming along? For heaven's sake Yoo-jin Jung! 'Tardiness' 'let us not commit'! 'Tardiness' 'let us not commit'! I thought it's been a while since
I've laid my eyes on a face of one
of my regular 'customers'.
You, get over there and
KEEP YOUR HANDS UP! Me, I was only a minute
and 50 seconds late That form masterdon't you
think he's a bit too cruel? Hey When has 'Gargamel' ever been
easy on anything like that? By the way Sang-hyuk wasn't tardy Why were you late? Don't get me started Some strange person HEY YOU! WHAT TIME DO YOU THINK IT IS?! Hey! It's him him him him! As for me: my forgetting the
duties of a student and my neglecting the time for study, as I deeply examine these
acts within my heart, hence henceforth to never perpetrate
these kinds of acts, this will I strive to endeavor.
Speak louder.
NEVER AGAINwill I permit
these acts to happen again! EVEN LOUDER! Teacher Can't you forgive me just this once? In a person's life, it's just one of those things that happen.
Plus l heard that during your schooldays you also skipped out on class.
l never skipped out of school, boy.
You still aren't
straightened out, are you? Oh, good morning.
We've got a new student here.
Okaytoday in our class we've a transfer student.
Come in! lsn't that the guy we saw this morning? Seoul Science High School.
He was transferred from a science high school.
And your name is My name is Jun-sang Kang.
Jun-sang.
That's fine.
Students! Get along with the new student, okay? On that note, let's give him a nice warm welcome! You can sit at the back seat over there.
Class president! Yes, sir! Find a locker for the new student.
And once you're finished with the attendance record take it to the administration office.
Yes, sir.
That will be all! Attention! Bow! Thank you, sir! He's quite good looking.
Who's it this time? You mean that transfer student? Hmmhe seems kind of mediocre to me.
Hey, take a good look at
the other boys in our class.
Is there anyone there
even close to his level? What, sure there is! Who, who? She's crazy! -Oh my god! -What? I'm telling you the truth! l overheard this at the
teacher's lounge a moment ago that Jun-sang Kang, over at
that science high school, was like freakishly brilliant! What was it again? The national mathematics Olympics? You're probably referring
to what they call the
mathematics Olympiad.
Well, whatever! He won the top prize there as well.
Isn't he like totally awesome? Jun-sang Kang
he's mine, got it? Don't even look askance! Hi! My name is Chea-rin Oh.
It's nice meeting you.
It's nice to meet you.
My name is Sang-hyuk Kim.
Let's try to get along.
You'll have to decide
upon a club to join.
Have an idea of which one? I'm not interested.
Jun-sang Kang! Hand that over.
I'll do it.
(inclusion of the last name in an address is indicative of a formal relationship) Hey! Hey, Jun-sang Kang! On your first day at school, you shouldn't be uncooperative.
Don't you see it's difficult for the class president? What're you gonna do for club? -So you don't sleep during school? -What? l think I heard that you're from a science high school How does the science club sound? Have you seen baseball players
having baseball as a hobby? ls that so? Then l'll read you a
list of all the clubs.
Pick from any of these.
Singing club, basketball club, table tennis club, calligraphy club Which club is he in? -Who? You mean Sang-hyuk Kim? -Yeah.
The broadcasting club.
The broadcasting club? Okay, then I'll join that one.
I think we're in trouble.
Is any sound getting through? Is it broken? It seemed
to run flawlessly yesterday.
I think I saw Chea-rin Oh
messing around with it.
It wasn't me.
lt
absolutely wasn't with me! lt was messed up
even before l touched it! Perhaps You don't think a
switch might've popped out? Hold on, Jin-sook.
Instead of making matters worse
by fiddling around with the wires, we better just bring this up
with the teacher.
No way! 'Gargamel's
not gonna stand for this.
Absolutely no way.
She's right.
We don't have extra lives to spare; why bring 'Gargamel' into this? It's not gonna be like that.
As long as we tell him the truth he's not going to
take it out on us.
There's no way, I said! There's gotta be a way to fix this Chea-rin, don't do anything rash! Hey hey hey! Just a moment.
What do you think you're doing? lt's because of this patch.
Give those to me.
Go ahead, try running a test.
It works, it works!
What's up with that?! This is incredible! Jun-sang Kang,
you're truly great! Jun-sang Kang, where are you going? Sang-hyuk.
That Jun-sang guy seems a bit he's strange,
don't you think? Why? Because of what
happened during cleanup? It's that too, but It's just my suspicion that
he joined our broadcasting club entirely because of you.
It makes no sense.
We only met today.
It doesn't make sense, does it? Yoo-jin, be careful.
Come down.
I don't want to.
Today l'm making it to the very end.
You won't even make ten steps.
You just stand back and watch,
if l can or not.
Five Siiixx! Be careful.
Yoo-jin, hold my hand.
I don't want to.
Are you my boyfriend? Why should l of all
people be holding your hand? lam going to save my hand
for someone special~ See that? (Mi-hee Kang) (Jin-woo Kim) Do you understand everything? Yes, sir.
Okay then.
Let me explain to you one more time.
Can l rub this off now? Professor! Wait a minute l haven't written it down yet! l want you to follow along in your head, not just jotting it
down and memorizing it.
You can find the formula
at the back of the book.
The most important things to
remember in mathematics is not the formula or explanations
of the problems already solved, but curiosity and imagination.
l would rather you try to imagine
it on this blank blackboard.
It's now time for solving questions.
Who would like to solve this problem? Hey there, student.
Why don't you give it a try? l am just checking if you understood the formula.
Don't stress over it.
l have never seen this formula May l ask Who made this formula? ls it important to know who made the formula? Not necessarily, but l just solved it my own way.
You Are you really a high school student? To think that a high school
student can solve this It's quite alarming.
What is a high school student doing in my class anyway? lt's due to my curiosity
and imagination.
Student! Student! Are you here to meet me by any chance? Are you here for the special entrance exam for this university? l told you just now.
l came here to find someone.
lt's because of my curiosity and imagination.
Then Dad! Sang-hyuk, what are you doing at this hour? l didn't have any study time today.
l wanted to go home with you, dad.
l am glad you are here.
Do you have an appointment? No.
ls there anything wrong? Where is he? Your mother is here.
l thought you said you'd be in Japan.
l decided to drop by before
the concert tour started.
l was also curious
as to how you're doing.
When are you headed back? Even without you expelling me,
l'll be on my way.
l made a morning reservation for a flight tomorrow.
Are you satisfied with
your decision to move here? You're a strange kid.
Even when you could have
gone to the States to study, your reasons for attending that
particular school is beyond me.
Why not? lt's your alma mater.
lt's where you have all the
memories of my father.
Just who are you referring
to as 'your father'? Exactlywho is my father? You don't have a father.
He's a person long dead.
Anyways, after I finished my tour, according to our plans, we'll be
leaving together for the States, so be with that understanding.
From what I'm hearing from you, he definitely sounds like a genius! Ummrather than saying he's a genius, from a teacher's point of view, when meeting a student that creates tension in the classroom, there's a feeling of great elation.
That's the case with
the student I met today.
And you think he goes to the
same school as Sang-hyuk? Since when did you have a
mathematical genius at your school? Yeah, how about that.
l can't think of anyone
like that at my school.
In mathematics, Yoo-jin's the best.
You twois there
anything that she can't do? Speaking of which The anniversary of Hyun-soo's
death is approaching.
Yoo-jin's father? Yes.
Do you want to go with me? Sure.
For all these years, you've been
attending this anniversary.
Even a close sibling
couldn't keep that up.
Honey! Wow, this chicken's really delicious! Since when did your
cooking improve so much, Mom? How can you eat that
with your bare hands? Dad, why don't you try some? Mister! Mister! Thank you.
Can't you be more careful? Excuse me! Thank you! Ssh! 'Gargamel'! Face to the ground! Boy, is this a shoe?
It's a damn weapon.
Who were you planning to kill with
it? Whose shoes are these anyway? l'll go up first and help you up.
So hurry and kneel down.
Tit for tatget it? Hurry! Don't look up! You're so heavy that
my head can't even turn! Mommy! Come up.
I'll keep you steady so come up.
Didn't you say we should
help each other out? Nevermind.
Really? Jun-sang Kang! You know we have a lunchtime
show today, right? Don't be late.
Yoo-jin Jung! Your zipper's open.
Your backpack zipper.
Really! Of course, just as expected Wasn't likely that you'd come Let's see about that, Jun-sang Kang.
Greetings everyone.
It's time to begin
the JBS lunchtime show.
Today I'd like a moment to consider the topic of one's sense of responsibility.
I have a friend with
whom I made a promise to conduct this broadcast
together today.
But as a result of
this friend not showing up, it appears I won't be having lunch and will have to hold on
to my shrunken stomach as I pull through
this broadcast alone.
While l can't disclose
his name to the public if he's listening
to this right now it's my wish for him to pay close
attention as I impart this thought: 'Petty self-interest' 'can hurt the feelings of others.
' Oops.
Are you saying that
I misused this broadcast to divulge too personal a thought? Forgive me this once.
And with that, I'll announce the
first song to be played: This is from ABBA: Dancing Queen.
(Broadcasting Room) Hey! What do you think you're
doing with my portfolio? Hey! What? Hurry! Yoo-jin! What's going on? Don't ask! What's wrong with her? Jin-sook! Hey, you scared me! Didn't Yoo-jin say anything about what happened at the
broadcasting room today? No, she didn't say anything.
Really? Without a doubt there's
something going on Jun-sang is a rooster (1969)
and Yoo-jin is a dog (1970) It may appear that they are antipathetic, but that's what makes it
even more frightening.
Isn't antipathy a bad thing? No.
This type of antipathy fosters compatibility.
In the end, they will be strongly attracted to one another.
This doesn't forebode well for San-hyuk.
Should l tell him this? What for? Don't you really know? Sang-hyuk and Yoo-jin are in love.
That's not true! Yoo-jin thinks of Sang-hyuk only as a friend.
That's why you don't have any friends! What? Friends become lovers and lovers become husband & wife.
Even though Sang-hyuk
likes Yoo-jin more Women always come around to guys that are devoted to them.
Certainly.
Wait and see.
Really Why am I so good at reading
other people's futures? come l can only see other people's future so clearly? Then can you see how
l will do in my music exam? Jin-sook Gong, 5 points! Can't l try one more time, ma'am? Please, once more.
Enough.
You can try again next week.
Ma'am Next is Jun-sang Kang? Left and right hands together ReadyStart! What's this? Didn't you practice? -Jun-sang Kang -Teacher! Jun-sang Kang just recently transferred.
Really? Then you should have said so.
Okay fine.
Make sure you also
practice for next week.
lf you can't play by then,
l won't give you any points.
Understood? Yes, ma'am.
Next is Byung-hwa Min.
ReadyStart.
Go for it, Go for it Here Go for it Go for it Go for it Go for it Go for it, Sang-hyuk! Go for it! Way to go! Good, good! Jun-sang Kang has
such a killer spike! In the end, it's a man's strength
that counts, don't you think? Indeed Traditionally, men need to be
equipped with three traits: What're those? Devotedness, ruggedness, and sensitivity.
He's the bomb.
Guys, l need to go check something out.
Don't block him, Don't block him! Way to go, way to go! Go for it! Go for it! Get the ball! Sang-hyuk, are you okay? Yeah, l'm fine.
Let's go, let's go! Go for it Time! Jun-sang Kang, don't you think you're going too far? Doing what? You have to think about teamwork.
You can't go trying
to make every play.
But we're winning;
isn't that enough? And have no regard for procedure?
Are results the only thing you value? Who says so? Did you read in some book that
procedure is more important? What a prig What did you just say? Go ahead, hit me.
What's wrong? You can't hit anyone because
it says so in some book? Damn prig Jun-sang Kang! Do you have some
grudge against Sang-hyuk? It seems to me that you don't like him very much, but l'm not saying this only
because he's my friend, but Sang-hyuk's really
a good guy.
What's your point? My point? My point is Your behavior towards
him is unwarranted.
Are you guys going out? What? There isn't anyone who doesn't
think the result is important.
However, your desire to value proper
procedure is quite commendable.
That's my humble opinion.
Yoo-jin.
Yeah? Nevermind.
What's that all about? Tell me! Tell me quick! Yoo-jin, Do I really come off as a prig? Sure you're a prig! But a posh one Stop teasing me.
l'm serious about this.
Awwis that so,
little priggie? Yoo-jin, stop there Stop it! Don't ever say that to me again.
Don't they look like
a cute pair of cockroaches? Those two are something else.
Though they insist they've
only been friends since childhood, don't you think it's immature
to use that as an excuse? An excuse, you say? Their type is painfully obvious Though they're going out,
it's under the guise of friendship.
Instead of being underhanded,
I prefer being open about things.
You You fancy me, don't you? Say what? I know your type.
You're never the first to say
that you like someone, ain't I right? Your joining the broadcasting club was all because of me, afterall.
Fine.
I'll let you date me.
You're quite a character, aren't you? Ain't it a waste to not put that
imagination to work on a romance novel? Hee-jin, don't move! Don't turn around, stay still! Hey! Sis! My neck really hurts.
Would it be alright to stop now? No way.
Did you already forget the
homework I helped you with? lf you keep moving, l'll start from the beginning.
Stay still.
l have to pee.
l'm nearly finished.
The phone! Youdon't move a muscle! Got it? Hello? Mom? Hee-jin! Nothing, why? It's not even good so
why is it so expensive, eh? That's not true.
This type of
material is going for a lot these days.
What do you mean it's good;
what're you saying it's good for? lt's too expensive,
cut the price down a bit.
Ma'am, you're not being reasonable.
You do business everyday,
so this time why're you asking for so much? You're not being reasonable.
Oh, just cut the price! No way, 15000 won
is the lowest l can go.
Okay fine fine, I'll just
give you what you want.
Here it is.
I'll come by again.
Good luck selling! Lady! You've arrived? Sell a lot? To think that I came
out without this Have dinner? Sure I ate.
It wasn't just
ramen again, was it? It was rice; you needn't
worry your head so you just head right back.
Gotcha.
Oh, you've got to wear a thicker bundle.
The weather's cold so
what's up with your clothes? I hear you.
Hee-jin's waiting.
Hurry back.
-Fine Ma, I'm heading back.
-Okay.
How much do l owe you? -I'm saying that I'll buy you a drink.
-Mister, what's the matter with you? -What? I'm a very nice person.
Come on I'll buy you a glass! Mommy! Mommy! Yoo-jin Jung! Jun-sang Kang! Who is this? Lay your hands off, sir.
What thewhat's a li'l punk
like you think that he is? What's a young punk like you meddling with adult affairs? Go and stick your nose'n your BOOKS, you little punk! Blasted punk Mister please! -Let's go.
-Quick, let's get out of here.
Hey you! Bastard, I'll show ya.
Mister, why're you behaving this way?! Come, come! You bitch! Mister, mister
What's wrong with you? Jun-sang! She was soliciting
me for a drink, so l thought, 'This poor kid,
I oughta buy her a drink.
' So she takes my hand and
we're walking along, when suddenly that boy appears and starts hitting me! I'm the one who got pummelled upon
so why are you accusing me for? -This is all pissing me off! -Seems he's had about 10 soju bottles.
Soju? What's all this about? Hey, did you even see
me drink any alcohol? Be quiet, will ya!? -Whaddya mean, 'be quiet'? -Get a load of this 'nobleman'! Who ya calling 'nobleman'? He's really drunk.
Not there.
Give it.
Stand still for a moment.
Even while knowing
you're a lousy fighter why d'ya get into that brawl? Wipe your chin.
What am I to do;
I'm in deep trouble.
Mom's not gonna stand for this.
For the life of me, I ain't
gonna tell my mom, so you gotta phone your parents, alright? Mister, it's not our fault, sir.
It was that mister that started the quarrel.
Be quiet, ya punk! Call your father at once.
Go on! l don't have a father.
My mom, she's too busy at work so she won't be able to come.
Say what? And you? Did you contact yours? Hey I don't have time here! Phone him quick and get him to come.
Quickly! Take a look at this punk here Hey you, are you deaf? Don't you know Korean? Guar-di-an! Get your father to get out here! l don't have a father.
There better not be any scars That's enough.
You tool never thought you didn't have a dad.
My dad died because of an illness What about your dad? Do you like Sang-hyuk Kim? What? San-hyuk and I, ever since we were young we were close like family.
His dad and mine were
close friends, you see.
Sang-hyuk's dad and your dad? Yeah.
Ever since high school
they were really close.
They both graduated
from our high school.
Didn't know that, did ya? Is that so? Let's go; it's late.
Youspeak frankly with me.
After making trouble in Seoul, you transferred to
our school, didn't you? No? Then what did you come here for? To find someone.
Who? It's not a matter I'd talk
about with just anyone.
Sure, that's probably the case.
Hey, Jun-sang Kang.
About today You needn't say any thanks.
Even if you weren't involved,
I'd have done the same.
I'm taking off.
See ya.
Hey, Jun-sang Kang! Properly apply this medicine, three times a day! Don't forget! Resolutely! How are you? Yoo-jin.
Where were you last night? When I called you about
the physics homework Hee-jin kept answering the phone.
Perhaps when I was running
an errand for my mom, it might've been then.
What's wrong with you neck?
Did you get hurt? Let me see.
No, It was a while
since I last exercised so I must've strained it
when I started up again.
You should've been careful.
You sure it's okay? Jun-sang Kang,
what happened to your face? What's up with the bandage? Did you fall down somewhere? Let me see.
Did you hurt any place else? Hey! What's with the bandage, I said?! -I'm fine, already.
-Everything else is fine? I said that I'm fine! l am okay.
Yoo-jin Jung, what's the deal with you? Was there something going on
with the two of you yesterday? Go back to your seat.
The right hand by itself and the left hand
itself can do it but why can't l get
them to work together? Not working, eh? They won't 'cause your
score's already decided.
Listen Give me your hand.
-My hand? -Your hand.
Lessee lessee lessee Can you see something? I see something! It couldn't be five
points again, could it? What? 5 points? Jin-sook, open your hands wide.
Here! This is what you will get in the test.
Really? What am I to do And I practiced so much, for what? It's hopeless Jin-sook, Jin-sook! Fingers! Toes! Together they're 20 points.
How's that? Forget it Jun-sang Kang, could you
follow me out for a sec? Sit down.
Place your hands on the piano.
As if holding an imaginary egg,
curl your palms like so and raise your wrists like this.
Raise them.
What're you doing? Can't you see? l'm teaching you piano.
That last time, you
helped me out, afterall.
And so? l'm here to pay the debt.
I have that kind of personality that
can't stand not paying back a debt.
Even though the music teacher said she'd give you zero points if you make an effort
it's gonna be okay.
Now watch.
l forgot What was it again? Hey.
You said you
couldn't play the piano! I never said I couldn't play.
You really play the piano well.
What's the name of
that song, anyways? 'First Time'.
'First Time' Yoo-jin Jung.
Could you pay your debt
in a different way? Where're we heading to? Once upon a time.
.
Do you know the story about a person
who went to the land of shadows? Nope.
What's it about? Well there was a man who went
to the land of shadows.
Since everybody else was a shadow,
nobody ever talked to him.
-And so? -So That man was very lonely.
Well, it ends like that.
What's up? Nothing really.
It's just interesting.
What is? At first, l thought you
were a really strange kid.
Hardly ever laughing, always
hanging out by yourself.
You seemed like a kid
discontented with society.
It appeared to me that
you needed a friend.
What harm would it do by getting
along with your classmates? Right? I have no need for friends.
Shall l give you a tip on how to make a friend? lt's really simple.
You just need to approach
the person a step at a time.
Yet still, it doesn't work if
only one person's doing all the work.
Watch.
Right foot, left foot.
Right foot, left foot.
One step after another, they
grow to become friends.
Right foot, left foot Take my hand.
You said l needed to take a
step in order to make friends.
What's your lifelong dream? Good question.
Should I go get some sleep now,
so I can dream the way you do? Did you find the person
you were looking for? Yeah.
Who is it? My father.
You mean it wasn't that he's dead? After meeting him, what was it like? I'm not sure.
I didn't feel anything at first.
What kind of person he was How l resembled him I was simply curious.
Then what? l don't know Since it appeared that he
didn't remember me at all l just wished he'd remember me.
Maybe that's why l hate him.
In spite of how
much you hate him, the fact that you have a
father is a blessed thing, that he's even alive.
Wait for us! Sang-hyuk.
l brought you your bag.
Check if anything's missing.
l got the prints for the supplementary lessons.
Check for those as well.
You know today lt's okay.
I was just worried about you.
If l knew you were out with Yoo-jin, l would have brought yours too.
Sang-hyuk.
Hello, dad! You're already here.
Have you been well? 'Be at peace and in good health'.
You must be busy with
your dad's memorial service.
That's right!
My dad's memorial service! What should I do? Mom's gonna scold me for this! Mr.
Kim, pardon me as I head in first.
Jun-sang, see you tomorrow.
(notice no last name) ls he a friend from school? Yes, sir.
Let's head in, father.
Hee-jin.
What have you been doing? Aren't you hungry? l was looking at photos of dad.
Sis, what kind of lady was she to be having her arms
linked around dad's? She used to be dad's girlfriend.
Really? Sang-hyuk's dad, our dad, and that lady were friends during high school.
-Satisfied? -Yup.
Let's go and have dinner.
Let's go.
Hey, the bus, the bus! Let's go! Push, push.
Hurry get on! Just get in, get in.
Hey Don't you need to get on?
Mister, wait a moment! Go on ahead.
Be careful! Mister! Where in the world is this place? What were you doing, not waking me up? What grade are you in? Hey Aren't you afraid of 'Gargamel'?
(Gargamel from 'Smurfs') Out of the entire junior class, I've never met anyone
so foolishly gutsy.
What are you waiting for? We gotta ride together in
order to save on taxi fare! Hey! Why aren't you quickly coming along? For heaven's sake Yoo-jin Jung! 'Tardiness' 'let us not commit'! 'Tardiness' 'let us not commit'! I thought it's been a while since
I've laid my eyes on a face of one
of my regular 'customers'.
You, get over there and
KEEP YOUR HANDS UP! Me, I was only a minute
and 50 seconds late That form masterdon't you
think he's a bit too cruel? Hey When has 'Gargamel' ever been
easy on anything like that? By the way Sang-hyuk wasn't tardy Why were you late? Don't get me started Some strange person HEY YOU! WHAT TIME DO YOU THINK IT IS?! Hey! It's him him him him! As for me: my forgetting the
duties of a student and my neglecting the time for study, as I deeply examine these
acts within my heart, hence henceforth to never perpetrate
these kinds of acts, this will I strive to endeavor.
Speak louder.
NEVER AGAINwill I permit
these acts to happen again! EVEN LOUDER! Teacher Can't you forgive me just this once? In a person's life, it's just one of those things that happen.
Plus l heard that during your schooldays you also skipped out on class.
l never skipped out of school, boy.
You still aren't
straightened out, are you? Oh, good morning.
We've got a new student here.
Okaytoday in our class we've a transfer student.
Come in! lsn't that the guy we saw this morning? Seoul Science High School.
He was transferred from a science high school.
And your name is My name is Jun-sang Kang.
Jun-sang.
That's fine.
Students! Get along with the new student, okay? On that note, let's give him a nice warm welcome! You can sit at the back seat over there.
Class president! Yes, sir! Find a locker for the new student.
And once you're finished with the attendance record take it to the administration office.
Yes, sir.
That will be all! Attention! Bow! Thank you, sir! He's quite good looking.
Who's it this time? You mean that transfer student? Hmmhe seems kind of mediocre to me.
Hey, take a good look at
the other boys in our class.
Is there anyone there
even close to his level? What, sure there is! Who, who? She's crazy! -Oh my god! -What? I'm telling you the truth! l overheard this at the
teacher's lounge a moment ago that Jun-sang Kang, over at
that science high school, was like freakishly brilliant! What was it again? The national mathematics Olympics? You're probably referring
to what they call the
mathematics Olympiad.
Well, whatever! He won the top prize there as well.
Isn't he like totally awesome? Jun-sang Kang
he's mine, got it? Don't even look askance! Hi! My name is Chea-rin Oh.
It's nice meeting you.
It's nice to meet you.
My name is Sang-hyuk Kim.
Let's try to get along.
You'll have to decide
upon a club to join.
Have an idea of which one? I'm not interested.
Jun-sang Kang! Hand that over.
I'll do it.
(inclusion of the last name in an address is indicative of a formal relationship) Hey! Hey, Jun-sang Kang! On your first day at school, you shouldn't be uncooperative.
Don't you see it's difficult for the class president? What're you gonna do for club? -So you don't sleep during school? -What? l think I heard that you're from a science high school How does the science club sound? Have you seen baseball players
having baseball as a hobby? ls that so? Then l'll read you a
list of all the clubs.
Pick from any of these.
Singing club, basketball club, table tennis club, calligraphy club Which club is he in? -Who? You mean Sang-hyuk Kim? -Yeah.
The broadcasting club.
The broadcasting club? Okay, then I'll join that one.
I think we're in trouble.
Is any sound getting through? Is it broken? It seemed
to run flawlessly yesterday.
I think I saw Chea-rin Oh
messing around with it.
It wasn't me.
lt
absolutely wasn't with me! lt was messed up
even before l touched it! Perhaps You don't think a
switch might've popped out? Hold on, Jin-sook.
Instead of making matters worse
by fiddling around with the wires, we better just bring this up
with the teacher.
No way! 'Gargamel's
not gonna stand for this.
Absolutely no way.
She's right.
We don't have extra lives to spare; why bring 'Gargamel' into this? It's not gonna be like that.
As long as we tell him the truth he's not going to
take it out on us.
There's no way, I said! There's gotta be a way to fix this Chea-rin, don't do anything rash! Hey hey hey! Just a moment.
What do you think you're doing? lt's because of this patch.
Give those to me.
Go ahead, try running a test.
It works, it works!
What's up with that?! This is incredible! Jun-sang Kang,
you're truly great! Jun-sang Kang, where are you going? Sang-hyuk.
That Jun-sang guy seems a bit he's strange,
don't you think? Why? Because of what
happened during cleanup? It's that too, but It's just my suspicion that
he joined our broadcasting club entirely because of you.
It makes no sense.
We only met today.
It doesn't make sense, does it? Yoo-jin, be careful.
Come down.
I don't want to.
Today l'm making it to the very end.
You won't even make ten steps.
You just stand back and watch,
if l can or not.
Five Siiixx! Be careful.
Yoo-jin, hold my hand.
I don't want to.
Are you my boyfriend? Why should l of all
people be holding your hand? lam going to save my hand
for someone special~ See that? (Mi-hee Kang) (Jin-woo Kim) Do you understand everything? Yes, sir.
Okay then.
Let me explain to you one more time.
Can l rub this off now? Professor! Wait a minute l haven't written it down yet! l want you to follow along in your head, not just jotting it
down and memorizing it.
You can find the formula
at the back of the book.
The most important things to
remember in mathematics is not the formula or explanations
of the problems already solved, but curiosity and imagination.
l would rather you try to imagine
it on this blank blackboard.
It's now time for solving questions.
Who would like to solve this problem? Hey there, student.
Why don't you give it a try? l am just checking if you understood the formula.
Don't stress over it.
l have never seen this formula May l ask Who made this formula? ls it important to know who made the formula? Not necessarily, but l just solved it my own way.
You Are you really a high school student? To think that a high school
student can solve this It's quite alarming.
What is a high school student doing in my class anyway? lt's due to my curiosity
and imagination.
Student! Student! Are you here to meet me by any chance? Are you here for the special entrance exam for this university? l told you just now.
l came here to find someone.
lt's because of my curiosity and imagination.
Then Dad! Sang-hyuk, what are you doing at this hour? l didn't have any study time today.
l wanted to go home with you, dad.
l am glad you are here.
Do you have an appointment? No.
ls there anything wrong? Where is he? Your mother is here.
l thought you said you'd be in Japan.
l decided to drop by before
the concert tour started.
l was also curious
as to how you're doing.
When are you headed back? Even without you expelling me,
l'll be on my way.
l made a morning reservation for a flight tomorrow.
Are you satisfied with
your decision to move here? You're a strange kid.
Even when you could have
gone to the States to study, your reasons for attending that
particular school is beyond me.
Why not? lt's your alma mater.
lt's where you have all the
memories of my father.
Just who are you referring
to as 'your father'? Exactlywho is my father? You don't have a father.
He's a person long dead.
Anyways, after I finished my tour, according to our plans, we'll be
leaving together for the States, so be with that understanding.
From what I'm hearing from you, he definitely sounds like a genius! Ummrather than saying he's a genius, from a teacher's point of view, when meeting a student that creates tension in the classroom, there's a feeling of great elation.
That's the case with
the student I met today.
And you think he goes to the
same school as Sang-hyuk? Since when did you have a
mathematical genius at your school? Yeah, how about that.
l can't think of anyone
like that at my school.
In mathematics, Yoo-jin's the best.
You twois there
anything that she can't do? Speaking of which The anniversary of Hyun-soo's
death is approaching.
Yoo-jin's father? Yes.
Do you want to go with me? Sure.
For all these years, you've been
attending this anniversary.
Even a close sibling
couldn't keep that up.
Honey! Wow, this chicken's really delicious! Since when did your
cooking improve so much, Mom? How can you eat that
with your bare hands? Dad, why don't you try some? Mister! Mister! Thank you.
Can't you be more careful? Excuse me! Thank you! Ssh! 'Gargamel'! Face to the ground! Boy, is this a shoe?
It's a damn weapon.
Who were you planning to kill with
it? Whose shoes are these anyway? l'll go up first and help you up.
So hurry and kneel down.
Tit for tatget it? Hurry! Don't look up! You're so heavy that
my head can't even turn! Mommy! Come up.
I'll keep you steady so come up.
Didn't you say we should
help each other out? Nevermind.
Really? Jun-sang Kang! You know we have a lunchtime
show today, right? Don't be late.
Yoo-jin Jung! Your zipper's open.
Your backpack zipper.
Really! Of course, just as expected Wasn't likely that you'd come Let's see about that, Jun-sang Kang.
Greetings everyone.
It's time to begin
the JBS lunchtime show.
Today I'd like a moment to consider the topic of one's sense of responsibility.
I have a friend with
whom I made a promise to conduct this broadcast
together today.
But as a result of
this friend not showing up, it appears I won't be having lunch and will have to hold on
to my shrunken stomach as I pull through
this broadcast alone.
While l can't disclose
his name to the public if he's listening
to this right now it's my wish for him to pay close
attention as I impart this thought: 'Petty self-interest' 'can hurt the feelings of others.
' Oops.
Are you saying that
I misused this broadcast to divulge too personal a thought? Forgive me this once.
And with that, I'll announce the
first song to be played: This is from ABBA: Dancing Queen.
(Broadcasting Room) Hey! What do you think you're
doing with my portfolio? Hey! What? Hurry! Yoo-jin! What's going on? Don't ask! What's wrong with her? Jin-sook! Hey, you scared me! Didn't Yoo-jin say anything about what happened at the
broadcasting room today? No, she didn't say anything.
Really? Without a doubt there's
something going on Jun-sang is a rooster (1969)
and Yoo-jin is a dog (1970) It may appear that they are antipathetic, but that's what makes it
even more frightening.
Isn't antipathy a bad thing? No.
This type of antipathy fosters compatibility.
In the end, they will be strongly attracted to one another.
This doesn't forebode well for San-hyuk.
Should l tell him this? What for? Don't you really know? Sang-hyuk and Yoo-jin are in love.
That's not true! Yoo-jin thinks of Sang-hyuk only as a friend.
That's why you don't have any friends! What? Friends become lovers and lovers become husband & wife.
Even though Sang-hyuk
likes Yoo-jin more Women always come around to guys that are devoted to them.
Certainly.
Wait and see.
Really Why am I so good at reading
other people's futures? come l can only see other people's future so clearly? Then can you see how
l will do in my music exam? Jin-sook Gong, 5 points! Can't l try one more time, ma'am? Please, once more.
Enough.
You can try again next week.
Ma'am Next is Jun-sang Kang? Left and right hands together ReadyStart! What's this? Didn't you practice? -Jun-sang Kang -Teacher! Jun-sang Kang just recently transferred.
Really? Then you should have said so.
Okay fine.
Make sure you also
practice for next week.
lf you can't play by then,
l won't give you any points.
Understood? Yes, ma'am.
Next is Byung-hwa Min.
ReadyStart.
Go for it, Go for it Here Go for it Go for it Go for it Go for it Go for it, Sang-hyuk! Go for it! Way to go! Good, good! Jun-sang Kang has
such a killer spike! In the end, it's a man's strength
that counts, don't you think? Indeed Traditionally, men need to be
equipped with three traits: What're those? Devotedness, ruggedness, and sensitivity.
He's the bomb.
Guys, l need to go check something out.
Don't block him, Don't block him! Way to go, way to go! Go for it! Go for it! Get the ball! Sang-hyuk, are you okay? Yeah, l'm fine.
Let's go, let's go! Go for it Time! Jun-sang Kang, don't you think you're going too far? Doing what? You have to think about teamwork.
You can't go trying
to make every play.
But we're winning;
isn't that enough? And have no regard for procedure?
Are results the only thing you value? Who says so? Did you read in some book that
procedure is more important? What a prig What did you just say? Go ahead, hit me.
What's wrong? You can't hit anyone because
it says so in some book? Damn prig Jun-sang Kang! Do you have some
grudge against Sang-hyuk? It seems to me that you don't like him very much, but l'm not saying this only
because he's my friend, but Sang-hyuk's really
a good guy.
What's your point? My point? My point is Your behavior towards
him is unwarranted.
Are you guys going out? What? There isn't anyone who doesn't
think the result is important.
However, your desire to value proper
procedure is quite commendable.
That's my humble opinion.
Yoo-jin.
Yeah? Nevermind.
What's that all about? Tell me! Tell me quick! Yoo-jin, Do I really come off as a prig? Sure you're a prig! But a posh one Stop teasing me.
l'm serious about this.
Awwis that so,
little priggie? Yoo-jin, stop there Stop it! Don't ever say that to me again.
Don't they look like
a cute pair of cockroaches? Those two are something else.
Though they insist they've
only been friends since childhood, don't you think it's immature
to use that as an excuse? An excuse, you say? Their type is painfully obvious Though they're going out,
it's under the guise of friendship.
Instead of being underhanded,
I prefer being open about things.
You You fancy me, don't you? Say what? I know your type.
You're never the first to say
that you like someone, ain't I right? Your joining the broadcasting club was all because of me, afterall.
Fine.
I'll let you date me.
You're quite a character, aren't you? Ain't it a waste to not put that
imagination to work on a romance novel? Hee-jin, don't move! Don't turn around, stay still! Hey! Sis! My neck really hurts.
Would it be alright to stop now? No way.
Did you already forget the
homework I helped you with? lf you keep moving, l'll start from the beginning.
Stay still.
l have to pee.
l'm nearly finished.
The phone! Youdon't move a muscle! Got it? Hello? Mom? Hee-jin! Nothing, why? It's not even good so
why is it so expensive, eh? That's not true.
This type of
material is going for a lot these days.
What do you mean it's good;
what're you saying it's good for? lt's too expensive,
cut the price down a bit.
Ma'am, you're not being reasonable.
You do business everyday,
so this time why're you asking for so much? You're not being reasonable.
Oh, just cut the price! No way, 15000 won
is the lowest l can go.
Okay fine fine, I'll just
give you what you want.
Here it is.
I'll come by again.
Good luck selling! Lady! You've arrived? Sell a lot? To think that I came
out without this Have dinner? Sure I ate.
It wasn't just
ramen again, was it? It was rice; you needn't
worry your head so you just head right back.
Gotcha.
Oh, you've got to wear a thicker bundle.
The weather's cold so
what's up with your clothes? I hear you.
Hee-jin's waiting.
Hurry back.
-Fine Ma, I'm heading back.
-Okay.
How much do l owe you? -I'm saying that I'll buy you a drink.
-Mister, what's the matter with you? -What? I'm a very nice person.
Come on I'll buy you a glass! Mommy! Mommy! Yoo-jin Jung! Jun-sang Kang! Who is this? Lay your hands off, sir.
What thewhat's a li'l punk
like you think that he is? What's a young punk like you meddling with adult affairs? Go and stick your nose'n your BOOKS, you little punk! Blasted punk Mister please! -Let's go.
-Quick, let's get out of here.
Hey you! Bastard, I'll show ya.
Mister, why're you behaving this way?! Come, come! You bitch! Mister, mister
What's wrong with you? Jun-sang! She was soliciting
me for a drink, so l thought, 'This poor kid,
I oughta buy her a drink.
' So she takes my hand and
we're walking along, when suddenly that boy appears and starts hitting me! I'm the one who got pummelled upon
so why are you accusing me for? -This is all pissing me off! -Seems he's had about 10 soju bottles.
Soju? What's all this about? Hey, did you even see
me drink any alcohol? Be quiet, will ya!? -Whaddya mean, 'be quiet'? -Get a load of this 'nobleman'! Who ya calling 'nobleman'? He's really drunk.
Not there.
Give it.
Stand still for a moment.
Even while knowing
you're a lousy fighter why d'ya get into that brawl? Wipe your chin.
What am I to do;
I'm in deep trouble.
Mom's not gonna stand for this.
For the life of me, I ain't
gonna tell my mom, so you gotta phone your parents, alright? Mister, it's not our fault, sir.
It was that mister that started the quarrel.
Be quiet, ya punk! Call your father at once.
Go on! l don't have a father.
My mom, she's too busy at work so she won't be able to come.
Say what? And you? Did you contact yours? Hey I don't have time here! Phone him quick and get him to come.
Quickly! Take a look at this punk here Hey you, are you deaf? Don't you know Korean? Guar-di-an! Get your father to get out here! l don't have a father.
There better not be any scars That's enough.
You tool never thought you didn't have a dad.
My dad died because of an illness What about your dad? Do you like Sang-hyuk Kim? What? San-hyuk and I, ever since we were young we were close like family.
His dad and mine were
close friends, you see.
Sang-hyuk's dad and your dad? Yeah.
Ever since high school
they were really close.
They both graduated
from our high school.
Didn't know that, did ya? Is that so? Let's go; it's late.
Youspeak frankly with me.
After making trouble in Seoul, you transferred to
our school, didn't you? No? Then what did you come here for? To find someone.
Who? It's not a matter I'd talk
about with just anyone.
Sure, that's probably the case.
Hey, Jun-sang Kang.
About today You needn't say any thanks.
Even if you weren't involved,
I'd have done the same.
I'm taking off.
See ya.
Hey, Jun-sang Kang! Properly apply this medicine, three times a day! Don't forget! Resolutely! How are you? Yoo-jin.
Where were you last night? When I called you about
the physics homework Hee-jin kept answering the phone.
Perhaps when I was running
an errand for my mom, it might've been then.
What's wrong with you neck?
Did you get hurt? Let me see.
No, It was a while
since I last exercised so I must've strained it
when I started up again.
You should've been careful.
You sure it's okay? Jun-sang Kang,
what happened to your face? What's up with the bandage? Did you fall down somewhere? Let me see.
Did you hurt any place else? Hey! What's with the bandage, I said?! -I'm fine, already.
-Everything else is fine? I said that I'm fine! l am okay.
Yoo-jin Jung, what's the deal with you? Was there something going on
with the two of you yesterday? Go back to your seat.
The right hand by itself and the left hand
itself can do it but why can't l get
them to work together? Not working, eh? They won't 'cause your
score's already decided.
Listen Give me your hand.
-My hand? -Your hand.
Lessee lessee lessee Can you see something? I see something! It couldn't be five
points again, could it? What? 5 points? Jin-sook, open your hands wide.
Here! This is what you will get in the test.
Really? What am I to do And I practiced so much, for what? It's hopeless Jin-sook, Jin-sook! Fingers! Toes! Together they're 20 points.
How's that? Forget it Jun-sang Kang, could you
follow me out for a sec? Sit down.
Place your hands on the piano.
As if holding an imaginary egg,
curl your palms like so and raise your wrists like this.
Raise them.
What're you doing? Can't you see? l'm teaching you piano.
That last time, you
helped me out, afterall.
And so? l'm here to pay the debt.
I have that kind of personality that
can't stand not paying back a debt.
Even though the music teacher said she'd give you zero points if you make an effort
it's gonna be okay.
Now watch.
l forgot What was it again? Hey.
You said you
couldn't play the piano! I never said I couldn't play.
You really play the piano well.
What's the name of
that song, anyways? 'First Time'.
'First Time' Yoo-jin Jung.
Could you pay your debt
in a different way? Where're we heading to? Once upon a time.
.
Do you know the story about a person
who went to the land of shadows? Nope.
What's it about? Well there was a man who went
to the land of shadows.
Since everybody else was a shadow,
nobody ever talked to him.
-And so? -So That man was very lonely.
Well, it ends like that.
What's up? Nothing really.
It's just interesting.
What is? At first, l thought you
were a really strange kid.
Hardly ever laughing, always
hanging out by yourself.
You seemed like a kid
discontented with society.
It appeared to me that
you needed a friend.
What harm would it do by getting
along with your classmates? Right? I have no need for friends.
Shall l give you a tip on how to make a friend? lt's really simple.
You just need to approach
the person a step at a time.
Yet still, it doesn't work if
only one person's doing all the work.
Watch.
Right foot, left foot.
Right foot, left foot.
One step after another, they
grow to become friends.
Right foot, left foot Take my hand.
You said l needed to take a
step in order to make friends.
What's your lifelong dream? Good question.
Should I go get some sleep now,
so I can dream the way you do? Did you find the person
you were looking for? Yeah.
Who is it? My father.
You mean it wasn't that he's dead? After meeting him, what was it like? I'm not sure.
I didn't feel anything at first.
What kind of person he was How l resembled him I was simply curious.
Then what? l don't know Since it appeared that he
didn't remember me at all l just wished he'd remember me.
Maybe that's why l hate him.
In spite of how
much you hate him, the fact that you have a
father is a blessed thing, that he's even alive.
Wait for us! Sang-hyuk.
l brought you your bag.
Check if anything's missing.
l got the prints for the supplementary lessons.
Check for those as well.
You know today lt's okay.
I was just worried about you.
If l knew you were out with Yoo-jin, l would have brought yours too.
Sang-hyuk.
Hello, dad! You're already here.
Have you been well? 'Be at peace and in good health'.
You must be busy with
your dad's memorial service.
That's right!
My dad's memorial service! What should I do? Mom's gonna scold me for this! Mr.
Kim, pardon me as I head in first.
Jun-sang, see you tomorrow.
(notice no last name) ls he a friend from school? Yes, sir.
Let's head in, father.
Hee-jin.
What have you been doing? Aren't you hungry? l was looking at photos of dad.
Sis, what kind of lady was she to be having her arms
linked around dad's? She used to be dad's girlfriend.
Really? Sang-hyuk's dad, our dad, and that lady were friends during high school.
-Satisfied? -Yup.
Let's go and have dinner.
Let's go.
