Child actors and animals were filmed

Why isn't he home yet?
He's not even answering his phone
Where did he go?
I'm worried sick
What if he fainted?
Oh, my
Hosu
Hosu
Hosu Jeong
Why isn't he answering his phone?
Hosu
Hosu
Hosu!
Oh, my
Hosu
What are you doing here?
Are you alright?
Let me look at you
Why didn't you answer your phone?
- Mrs. Kim
- Yes?
I couldn't answer it
Are you alright?
What's this?
What is this?
Is this
Is this oil?
Where did you
Hosu
You
What did you do?
Mom
It wasn't you
who fainted?
Are you
Are you hurt?
Hosu suddenly collapsed
Mom
Dear God, thank you
Thank you so much
Thank you
Thank you
Did anyone see you
coming here?
Did you meet anyone on your way here?
I don't know
Are you awake?
Thank God, Buddha, and all other gods
Thank you
Why don't you
also thank the Chicken God?
Do you feel better now?
You!
I was so surprised
that I wore the wrong pair of slippers
What on earth happened to you?
Do you remember
why you fainted?
Again?
I think I saw my mom again
- Hosu
- I know
I know it's not her
But I thought I did
The camera movement was
And this
To be honest, the camera moving
At least once,
wouldn't she come to see me?
At least once
Do you want to eat friend chicken later?
It was the first thing you said
after you woke up
By the way
- how did I get here?
- What?
- Did Haru call for help?
- Yes
He seemed to be surprised as well
Where is he now?
His mom came
I told him I'll let him know
once you wake up
It seems Haru
isn't so well either
Haru?
Why do you say that?
His hands were also all bloodied up
so I went out to clean his hands
I overheard the conversation
between him and his mom
You didn't tell him, did you?
Did you?
I told you you'll need to move
to another school if the rumor spreads
I didn't tell him
It might be hard for you too
but it's hard for us as well
transferring schools every time
Do you understand?
I'm sorry
Let's go home
before someone sees us
Mom
Can I just check
whether Hosu's awake?
- Haru Park, you
- Oh, you were here
Um
Hosu's breathing is stable
and he's okay now
- Just in case you were worried
- Really?
That's good news
You must be his mother
You must be very surprised too
Are you alright?
No, I'm fine
It's good to hear he's okay
Haru
If you weren't there
things might've gone out of control
Thank you so much
You must be proud
to have such a kind-hearted son
Haru, let's go
What kind of a story
would a young boy like him have?
Hosu!
Are you okay now?
What about your head? You bled quite a lot
I guess you were surprised
I'm sorry
No, I'm fine
I told you I live in an orphanage
I was abandoned when I was young
Have you heard of Hana Land?
I was about five
My mom took me there for my birthday
I was having a good time
She told me to wait for a while
and that she'll be back soon
That was the last time I saw her
Since then, whenever I think about my mom
or see someone who looks like her,
my head goes blank
I think that's why I fainted yesterday
Because of the narcolepsy
I went for psychiatric counseling
and took medicines
but they're not helping
You're in the last place
- Try to do better
- Oh, shoot, I'm screwed
Jeez
Junho Jang
Only two people are behind you, two
Ranking by class: 13/21
Ranking by school: 63/174
Attention, everyone!
Don't get disappointed
I hope you'll be happier
when you get your final exam results
- Okay
- Okay
- Attention
- We'll skip that today
Hwan Kim
Follow me to the principal's office
Of course, it'll take time
to adjust to the Korean school system
But
your father,
who expects a lot from you,
will be disappointed with your results
I'll also think about how I can be of help
but in the end
it depends on your determination
Try to follow the steps
of your excellent father
Ranking by class: 1/19
Ranking by school: 1/152
You're here
Yeah
What about your lunch?
I have no appetite
Eating bread as well?
Yeah, I also don't have my appetite
You want some?
Thank you
Did anyone
buy your bike?
Oh, yes
Thankfully, the buyer waited for me
Even after selling the bike,
I'm short of 200,000 won
so I'm sending the settlement fee
as soon as
I get my container part-time wage
What would be the best way
to cheer you up?
After this,
I'll treat you at the convenience store
That will do
Okay, I'll treat you
at the convenience store after this
Good
Hey
What's this?
You said you aren't eating
Shouldn't have bought this
Give it to me. I'll eat it
Forget it. I'm going to eat it all
Are you?
Jooan, can I have a bite?
Have everything. All of it
Right, you always have a big heart
My mouth almost burst
- Haru, let's share this
- Okay
Hey, it's dangerous
Do it over there
Why?
It didn't hit him
Hey, Jooan
Want to play catch ball outside?
No
I said stop it
No, it's okay
Why is he standing there?
Hey, Jooan Kim
Let's talk outside
I knew this would happen
Jooan's good at fighting though?
Nothing will happen to Hwan, right?
- He knows what he's doing
- Stand here
We should stop them if it gets bad, right?
Is Hwan good at fighting?
Should I stay close to him?
Shh, keep quiet
I can't hear them, shh
I hurt my wrist yesterday
- Oh, they're going at it
- Oh
What?
Jooan's scared?
You said he's good at fighting
It'll be okay
Kids grow up fighting
Yeah, you're right
Wh, what?
A handshake?
That's a first
I'm sorry
for misunderstanding you and Dogeon
I'm sorry
I wanted to apologize properly
Ah, well
That's why you called me outside?
Yeah
I was also in the wrong
I'm sorry, too
including the ball I threw at you earlier
Including that
Okay
Do you want to go to the snack bar?
Yes!
Me too
Can't miss out on the snack bar
When
- It's on me
- Milk for me
- I want a chocolate bar
- Hot dog for me
- I'll have anything
- Sausage stick
- What? You, too?
- I raised my hand
Not going? Let's go!
- Let's go!
- I'm going, too!
What do you want? Let's go together
I
want boiled eggs
Wait for me
Did you have your meal?
Tomorrow's your birthday
Eat something nice with your friends
Happy birthday
and let's eat together on the weekend
We'll have a cake, too
Guys
Tomorrow's Cein's birthday
How about giving him
a surprise party?
Cein's father
always comes late on Saturdays
so I don't think he'll make it
Good idea
What should we get for him?
What would he need?
I always see him lying down
Oh!
He listens to music a lot
How about wireless earphones?
The one he's using now is all tangled up
like a ball
- Sounds good
- Right?
Whoa
The wireless one costs 190,000 won!
It's super expensive
I have some pocket money saved
80,000 won
Come on, cough up some money
Is this it?
Indeed, born with the silver spoon
Where in the world would we have money?
Rest of us are born with plastic spoons
Ah
I spent quite a lot
in the convenience store
I think I have 50,000 won at home
Okay
Then 80,000 won from Jeha
50,000 won from Hwan
We're short of 60,000 won
Should we work part-time?
If we work at a fish market at daybreak
we might get some good wage
Yes for me
Me too. Definitely yes!
Me too. I'll join too!
It'll be fun
I don't think I can join you
I'll prepare for the party and the cake
Okay
Now, we just have to keep it
secret from Cein
Are you the only one who doesn't know?
The fact that I'm aware of it
means it's pretty widespread
You stole a bike
from junior high school students?
I think you heard it wrong
I didn't steal the bike
They stole the bike from Hwan
and I found it for him
Why would you do that?
Unnecessarily?
I didn't realize finding my friend's bike
would get me in trouble
If you threatened them with a knife
of course, it'll get you in trouble
Shit
- I heard you
- Don't come near me
threatened them with a knife
I'll stab you
You threatened to kill them
if they don't hand in the bike
Go ahead
I'm not scared of dying
Let's get out of here
Can't believe they had a knife
There's a rumor
that you carry a knife even to school
If this continues,
I can't lift
the disciplinary action against you
Even if I work hard,
you won't lift it for me
Why do you think that?
I'm used to it
Looking at those faces who don't like me
Those faces who love to hate me
without any reason
Coming late to classes
unauthorized absence,
unauthorized leave, violence
If these don't serve as reasons, what will?
If
you don't cooperate,
The Sixth Songho Scholarship Foundation
as the school principal,
I can't help but make my decision
The Eighth Songho Scholarship Foundation
To protect other students,
I might have to consider expulsion
Where's your greeting?
I said my greeting earlier
Don't talk back at me
What are you staring at?
I heard you got into trouble again
Huh?
Why are you
even coming to school? Why?
Why? Huh?
This blockhead
Huh?
Cein isn't in school now
He's not in school?
How do you know?
I have my ways
Now that he's gone,
let's make our plan in peace
I say
he'll find out about our plan
That elderly catches on quick
We can't afford that
Without him noticing,
we have to bring him to the dry container
Are you good at bluffing?
Why me?
Why me?
Just asking
Oh, look
With those eyes, it wouldn't work
Jeha, you do know
that I'm older than you, right?
Yup
Is there anyone
whom he won't suspect and
who isn't close enough
that he can't even refuse?
I also agree on that
Me?
Seriously, me?
I
Guys
How about I fork out more money?
Guys, what else
should we prepare for the party?
- Balloons, firecrackers, and
- Guys
Excuse me
Sir
You should go home
Cein?
Yes
No, I'm alright
I'm okay
Drink this
No thanks
Thank you
I didn't do it
Sorry?
Your mother
I didn't kill her
Me neither
The Seventh Songho Scholarship Foundation: Seonghun Kim, Changjun Kim, Eunjoo Kim, Wonjoong Byeon
'Changjun Kim' 'Eunjoo Kim' 'Wonjoong Byeon'
Right.
Let's meet up and go together at 11:30
Why are you
What are you doing at my house?
Um
Your father was drunk
The Seventh Songho Scholarship Foundation
'Changjun Kim' 'Eunjoo Kim'
Sir
It's a good day.
Please smile a little more
Everyone, please smile broadly
and look at the camera
One, two, three
It's done
Thank you
- Hello
- Ah, hello
Mrs. Jeong
Oh, Dogeon
Thank you
Dogeon, you're a scholarship student now
You can't work anymore, okay?
There's a promise I made
so I'll just finish this job and quit
Oh, is that so?
Then
Let's leave after saying
goodbye to the chairman
- Okay
- Okay
Sir
congratulations on your inauguration
Thank you
Now I just have to start working hard
This guy here is Dogeon Kim
He's the top student in our province
for the mock exam
Oh, we've met before, didn't we?
That time at the barbecue restaurant
Yes, that's him
It's only right that someone like you
who works hard gets the scholarship
- Congratulations
- Thank you
What a diligent young man
How do you maintain your grade
while working part-time?
If only Jeha worked
half as hard as you, I would be relieved
Mingook is as smart as his father,
so I don't worry about him
Jeha's a clever guy
Once he gets interested in his studies,
his grades will improve soon enough
He seemed to have reflected a lot
after receiving his midterm exam results
Are the grades out?
I heard
it's yet to be released for junior high
Sorry?
I mean
What?
You didn't get his report card yet?
Sorry?
Ah
Dogeon
Have you
ever thought about giving tutoring?
I'm asking this for Jeha
I
To get the scholarship,
I can't take any part-time jobs
I'll figure out a way
Studying is one
but I want Jeha
to stay close to
someone like you
I don't like him
hanging around with Cein Min
But he's not
a bad person
Can you look after Jeha?
I'm not asking you to do this for free
Yes, I'll try
Are they out of their mind?
Why aren't they still here?
Dogeon went to the Scholarship Foundation
He says he's on his way
- Is Jeha answering your message?
- No
Shit
I'll deal with him when he comes
I'll give him a good spanking
Hey, guys!
Why are you so late?
Sorry, it ended late
Where's Jeha?
I don't know. I can't reach him
Let's just go ourselves
once the bus arrives
We'll be late
Here
Mom, I'll use my phone just for a while
No
You hid your report card,
and I won't let it slide
I promised
to do part-time together
Part-time?
Why do you need the money?
We give you the pocket money
It's not that
Can I just go out for a while?
- Just for a while
- You still don't get it, do you?
I told you
you need to work harder than your brother
to make your father look after you
You need to show some effort
- to make your father
- I get it
I'll work really hard from now on
Let me just go out for today
No
I really mean it this time
You're grounded for the weekend
Mom, I really can't for this week
Just this once
I'll really work hard from now on
I mean it
Sit down and study
Mingook's home?
Aren't you hungry?
Let's go
Feels like my vertebrae's leaving my body
What's up with Jeha Jeon?
I should've kept my mouth shut
What? What is it?
Never mind
But how long
should we carry on with this?
I'm sorry
Dogeon!
Say sorry to my vertebrae!
Here?
Below
This crybaby
I mean it
- Does it hurt a lot?
- Crybaby!
Be gentle
They could've given us right after the work
Why are they asking us to come back?
I think that boss isn't stealing
our wage
No way
Let's buy the gift
after we get the wage
Haru said he'll prepare
the cake and the party
How about you?
Do you think I'll succeed?
Hwan
Cein might doubt
all the people in the world,
but he won't doubt you
I promise
What's this?
It's your birthday today
How do you know?
Because through us,
you're re-born
as the child of the God
Happy birthday
You're re-born as the child of the God
I need to run errands for my mom
Your God is over there to meet you
Let's go over there
Am I too early?
I heard you're good at fighting
Follow me to the dry container
I heard
you're good at fighting
Want to follow me to the dry container?
- Hwan
- What!
What are you doing?
Nothing, it's nothing
What are you doing here?
It's my house
Oh, right
It's your house
Have a nice day
I heard you're good at dry container
Follow me to the fighting
- What?
- What?
I, I meant
Can I talk to you for a while?
Yes
Now?
It could get lengthy
Hamburger! Do you like hamburger?
- Yeah
- Let's go eat hamburger
Where can we get some hamburgers?
That, um
- Yeah, I'll follow you
- Okay
Didn't know
you dissolve burger in your mouth
What?
I
have a lot in my mouth right now
- Can I talk after I finish this?
- Yes
Take your time
We finished the work
Why aren't you paying us?
Who said I won't pay you?
Come back tomorrow
You should've paid us
after the work ended
In the afternoon, you said you'll pay us
That's why we came back
You also said there will be four of you
but only three of you came
We did four people's worth
- because you kept scolding us!
- What?
I gave you the job
because you begged for it
Considering how you worked,
you should only get half of the wage!
That's ridiculous!
Why do you swear?
Sir
We really need that money
We need to get that money today
I'll report him if he doesn't
Report?
These young pricks
Already full of rubbish
You do know it's illegal
for minors to work late at night
Leave when I'm still nice to you
Dare come back again
You knew that, but you still hired us
Let's just lie down here
Huh?
What do you think you're doing?
We aren't leaving until you pay us
Right, Hosu?
Right! We can't! We won't!
Did you get the money?
What the
Are we having the party today or what?
Save me
How long should I carry on with this?
What am I doing here?
Ah
Do you like jajangmyeon?
I said I'm not eating
We had hamburger, hot dog
and even ice cream
I can't eat any more
Just in case you're hungry
What do you mean 'hungry?'
Hwan
If you have no other things to say,
I'll just go
No
I have something to tell you
What is it?
It's getting dark
I thought of telling you after sunset
The sunset is so pretty, Cein
Lately
the world is so beautiful to me
What is he saying?
Wait
Please buy us more time
One hour more, sorry
Ah, this is tough
This is really tough
What am I doing this alone?
What's so tough?
Can't tell you. It's all because of you
Because of me?
Only if
I could tell you honestly,
it wouldn't be this hard
But I can't
I shouldn't
Hwan
Do
you like me?
What?
Shoot
Is he nuts?
It's already past six
The earphone store closes at nine
It's past six?
Guys
You don't think he will pay us, right?
I'm sorry
I'm the one who suggested this
Why are you apologizing?
The bad guy here is that boss bastard!
What did you say?
These pricks
Hey
Take it
or leave it
I gave you the job
because you needed the money
and you call me boss bastard?
You guys got some attitude
Fine
We did our work, so we'll take it
Let's go
We need to check it before we leave
Right
It's all in 10 won
You're a true adult
If it's short of a single won
I'm lying down again
Hey, pile it up in 100s
Look at these pricks
No
- You're misunderstanding
- Talk
Talk from there
Well, I
I respect your taste
- but I like women
- Hey
I like women, too
I don't just like them, I love them
I love them very much
What? He's confessing?
He must be really in love
No, no, I'm not
I'll root for you
- No, I'm not that type of person!
- It's okay
It's not okay!
It's freaking embarrassing!
What are we doing here?
I was already having a bad day
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
If you have something to say, say it
You aren't here
to talk about your mom
are you?
Huh?
My mom
What about her?
When I brought you the bike
I took a look at your camcorder
The one in the video
is your mom, right?
I'm sorry
if I touched on something sensitive
No
That is my mom
But
I'm not here to talk about that
Then what?
I'm only left with one option
Huh?
Something is falling
I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!
- Wow
- I'm really sorry
Hwan, bring it back!
Hwan!
I said bring it back! Are you mad?
Where are you going?
Didn't you hear that you're grounded?
It's Cein's birthday
So?
It's his birthday, so?
I told you
I don't like you hanging out with him
- Don't you know what he's like?
- Cein isn't like that
- He didn't do it
- How do you know?
You're getting into more mess
after you started your junior high school
You don't study
You don't behave
to your father's liking
What's your plan?
Can't you see that I'm trying
my best in this house?
You think I enjoy doing this?
Don't you even feel sorry for mom?
I'm doing this because of you!
Did I ask you to do all this?
This house, these clothes
The one who can't live without them
is you, not me!
Jeha
I'm sorry
I apologize
You're right
I do pity you
but I pity myself, too
Jeha
Don't come
Don't come
Hwan
I played soccer when I was little
I can catch up with you if I want to
- Give it back when I say it nicely
- Don't come
Don't come
- What?
- No
You can't take it
I told them I won't do it
We're ready
It's done
It's done
Sorry?
No, come
Come here
- Hwan
- Hey
- Come here
- What is it?
- Are you crazy? Huh?
- Come here
We're almost there
Why isn't he coming? Oh, he's coming
Here
Are you insane? Uh?
Hwan, I'm on the brink of swearing
I said I'm going to swear at you!
If you just come inside
I'll give your phone back
I really have something to say
Come inside for a while
Why
Why are you entering that dark place?
What are you trying to do?
Hwan
Hwan
Come here
Just a little more
- What's all this?
- Come a little more
Why should I listen to you?
Give my phone back!
Give my phone back!
Give it quickly!
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to Cein
- Happy birthday to Cein
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Quickly
- Blow it!
Quickly! My hand!
- That Dolk
- That Dolk
What the
It's okay
- How
- What are we going to do?
Guys, guys
- It's dirty
- Don't eat that
- How will we eat it?
- He was going to eat that
It's okay
Wait
Wait!
- Are you okay? I'm sorry
- Are you okay?
Sorry for what?
That's why you acted weird
I thought he ate
something wrong
I almost died
Hold on
Hold on
Hwan
You do like women, right?
I said I like them. Stop it now
Now the present
The highlight of the birthday party
There will be the gift giving ceremony
Applause!
If we were a little more late,
we almost couldn't make it
Cein, happy birthday
We saved all we had and got this for you
It's making my spine hurt again
Are you sure it's a present?
Isn't it a brick?
It's a brick!
Open it
Uh?
This is expensive
How did you? Huh?
Do you like it?
Well, it's a gift
Thanks
Then this is mine now
How did you
listen to music with this?
Does this even work?
How do I install this?
I'll install it for you
Hwan, be careful
This is expensive
Wait
The left part isn't even working
It's not working at all
What? It is working. Give it back
You take it away after you give it to me
Mine
Spit
Haru
Don't you have to go home?
I'll be fine
I already told her
Let's celebrate the next birthday as well
Who's birthday is next?
Me!
Mine's on September
When is Hosu's birthday?
Me?
Mine is
I don't know exactly
I think I was abandoned
around my birthday
Let's just pretend I celebrated
my birthday on your birthdays
Even today
Hey
Why are you free-riding
on my birthday?
Oh, yes. I crossed the line
It's past 12
so it's Hosu's birthday now!
What?
- Hey
- It's Hosu's birthday today, so?
Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
Catch him!
Catch him
Happy birthday to you
Jeha, what are you doing?
Shh
Fingernail
Cein always bites his fingernails
If you do that,
he doesn't bite?
That's what I was told
No?
11 MISSED CALLS FROM MR. SONG
Jeha, I'll leave first
I'll just finish this and go
Don't go
What are you up to these days?
Friend
Are you making such a thing?
I told you several times
Friends are unnecessary in your life
It's my son's birthday
Thank you for coming to mommy
It's a holiday today.
What are you doing in school?
I'm sure the door was closed
How did you come in?
You make me think of
several things
You know my mom, right?
