SUMMER 2002
Hey!
Hello.
So? Can you give me the rent today?
I'm sorry.
I can't give you another chance.
Just to be sure, tomorrow's the deadline.
Could you give us just a few more days?
How many times did you say that?
No, forget it.
I told you tomorrow's the deadline.
Wait…
Sir, please.
Can you pay me in advance just this once?
You might just not show up.
How can I trust you?
No, never!
What's wrong with you?
Sir, just this once. Please.
Do you think I'm that easy?
How can I trust someone
who didn't even go to college?
No.
Sir…
It must be acute indigestion.
It often happens to mothers of young kids
as they try to eat in a hurry.
Take this prescription for now,
but go see a doctor, too.
Okay.
Goodness. She brought them out
when she's sick?
It's tough being a mom.
-Go, Korea!
-Go, Korea!
-Go, Korea!
-Coming through.
-Go, Korea!
-Go, Korea!
-Go, Korea!
-Go, Korea!
That summer,
when everyone's dream came true.
2002 JBC ANNOUNCER OPEN RECRUITMEN
But we, at the age of 20,
put off our dreams.
If he scores, it'll be a tie.
Hong Myung-bo is up.
KOREA REACHED THE SEMIFINALS
There was a person who shone brightly.
Audrey Hepburn once said,
"Forgive quickly.
Kiss slowly.
Love someone sincerely.
Laugh until you can't control yourself.
And…"
A person with a brilliant voice.
And…
a person with a bright dream.
When times were tough,
I always thought of the quote she loved.
"No matter how tough things are…"
"No matter how tough things are,
do not regret anything
that made you smile."
I hope we could also live like that.
Hello, I'm Serim High School's announcer,
Jung Da-jeong.

INTERVIEW ROOM
Please be quiet.
You're disturbing the interview.
Remove any heavy makeup.
INTERVIEW WAITING ROOM
-Ju-ung, good luck!
-Thanks.
-See you.
-Good luck, Sung-kyu!
You can do it.
I'm Jang Sung-kyu.
Sung-kyu, You're Jang Sung-kyu.
You got this.
Excuse me, sir.
-Yes? Is something wrong?
-Man.
-You can't do this.
-No, don't take it off!
My gosh.
This isn't Running Man.
I can't pass the test without it.
Give it back, please!
That's mine. Give it to me.
My girlfriend made that, you jerk.
There's always someone like that
every year.
-Oh, hi.
-Hey!
Hey.
Did both of you pass?
Yes, everyone in our study group
made the first cut.
I was worried about you
because of your age.
I guess blind tests
only consider your capacity, indeed.
Right.
I forgot my anxiety pill.
You can take this.
No, it's okay.
One-half is enough for me.
Let's share.
Thank you.
I really needed it.
You must be very nervous.
Yes.
Because this might be my last chance.
Why is it your last chance?
Because of my age.
I think I'm the oldest here.
How old are you?
I'm 30.
I'm pretty old, aren't I?
Oh, I'm…
thirty-seven.
What?
I thought you were younger.
Then did you go to college in 2002?
No, I went to college much later
after raising my kids.
You have kids?
All right, Group 27.
Jung Da-jeong, Park So-jeong,
and Kim Jeong-eun. Come in.
-Okay.
-Okay.
Good luck.
Good luck!
INTERVIEW WAITING ROOM
"The cause is yet unknown.
The government announced
that they'll expand the investigation
to patients with high fever or a cough."
The final test is for spontaneity.
As you read from the teleprompter,
it will switch to a news screen.
Pretend you're on live,
and improvise as you present the news.
-Okay.
-Okay.
I want to work for JBC forever.
I'll become its president.
Hello, I'm number 121, Jang Sung-kyu.
Okay, you may begin.
"Insurance fraud is becoming
more systemized and sophisticated.
The total value of the damages
is also rising every year."
Hey, wait.
One second, it's breaking news.
There is a pile of bags of rice.
- Dead pigs, not rice bags.
-They're being moved to a rural area.
-So, who are these for--
-Thank you. Next.
Wait, sir. One second.
I prepared a little trick.
I told you not to do that.
You may stop.
Mr. Jang, do you have a role model?
Yes, I do. My role model is
announcer Jeon Hyun-moo.
Mr. Jang Sung-kyu,
is Jeon Hyun-moo an announcer?
BAE SEUNG-HYEON, HEO UNG-GI
Audition for Gag Concert. Next.
Wait, sir. I prepared this for JBC.
I'll become JBC's son.
-Guys like that always leave.
-I'll do my best.
JBC's son! Let me go!
Are you going to leave?
Of course not.
Really?
I'm not leaving.
Hello, I'm number 122, Jung Da-jeong.
Look at the symmetry of her face
and her posture.
-Perfect.
-Yes.
MOON SANG-HWI
You may begin.
"We have a heartwarming story
from Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do
of an anonymous angel
who's been doing good deeds for 12 years.
According to Gunsan City Hall,
last month on the 17th,
the anonymous donor handed an envelope
with a certificate for 20,000 briquettes,
then quietly left the scene."
Breaking news. This morning,
the special judicial police
held an inspection
for school lunch vendors.
However, some vendors were contaminated
with flies, mold,
and even bird feathers.
Wow, she knows about it.
You're right. She'll make a good reporter.
No other crime is more atrocious than…
-I'm sorry.
-Hey.
We're in need
of the government's quick response.
We apologize to our viewers.
We had a technical issue
that interfered with the signal.
Hey, look at her.
Not bad.
Ms. Jung Da-jeong. How did you
come up with that comment?
I pretended this was on live
and spoke accordingly.
We've got ourselves a good one.
But we can't ask for her age.
Of course not. This is blind recruitment.
When did you start college?
Oh.
I entered university in 2011.
MOON SANG-HWI, BAE SEUNG-HYEON
She's 28, then.
POSTURE AND ATTITUDE: A
PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY: A
SERIM HIGH SCHOOL
Don't tell anyone else.
They'll retaliate
if they find out you helped me.
What? "Retaliate"?
You should watch out.
"Watch out"?
Were you always like this at school?
Do you finally get how serious this is?
I don't use social media
to diss others or to play politics.
I can take down a kid like you right now.
What? Take what down?
Be honest.
You set this up before you came to school.
Did you think you'd scare me
by causing a scene at the store?
Your brother, Si-u--
You checked my background, too?
Did you know Si-u was getting bullied?
What? Was Si-u bullied again?
So you knew?
Then you should've told your dad!
Do you share such things with your dad?
What else would you tell him?
Stop talking about your dad.
I'm warning you.
Don't get in my way again.
Are you really my daughter, Si-a?
DAD, I LOVE YOU
Dad, cheer up. I love you.
Okay. I'll cheer up.
I love you, Si-a.
She was such a gentle girl.
I'll kill you.
She can't be my daughter.
My daughter must be somewhere else.
How did I do? Did I do well?
Yes, you were like a real bully.
I couldn't have done this without you.
I got super scared at work.
But U-yeong seemed kind.
Did he really do that?
You think everyone
who's good-looking is kind.
Anyway,
did Gu Ja-seong pick on Si-u again?
Damn it.
Why are you getting bullied?
Mind your own business.
You should've shouted for help.
Why did you stay still?
Scream? That's humiliating.
Humiliating?
What's humiliating about that?
Bullies like your sister are
the ones who should feel humiliated.
What?
Watch what you say. You know nothing.
-Is it him?
-Don't look at him.
I said don't look.
Si-u made a friend.
Friend, my ass.
Hey!
Come here.
-Give it back.
-The ball?
Sure.
I should
teach you a lesson.
How are you going to do that?
First off,
I'm going to call your father.
You sound so old-school.
And I'll report you
to the School Violence Committee
for bullying a friend at school,
very cowardly, in a group.
What do you know?
A lot.
Kids like you rely on your big size
to bully others.
They use up their growth hormones
on their physique,
while their brains stay immature.
I've seen that a lot.
You think you're something special
if you act tough?
You don't know you look like a baby
who's begging for attention.
Right, I bet…
your "thing" is still tiny, too.
-Whoa.
-Touché!
You'd better shut the hell up.
Apologize.
-What?
-Apologize to him.
-You--
-What's going on?
Eat up. It's getting cold.
Okay.
I'm still pissed off.
How dare he throw a basketball
at my precious son's head?
I can't beat up a kid
who's my son's age. Damn it.
Man.
I haven't been there
for a long time.
KO DEOK-JIN
Who the hell?
Choi Il-gwon, you're no basketball player.
Deok-jin, come here.
Should I?
Thanks.
Do you want to sit out the next game?
Why? Are you going to tell Coach?
Why should I bother?
I can end this right here.
You annoying prick.
Stay nervous!
Those were the days.
But I'm here to have a smoke now.
Man.
-Hey!
-My goodness.
I thought you were a teacher.
What?
-Si-a, you--
-Stop right there.
I told you not to get in my way.
-You even smoke?
-Hey.
Look who's talking.
You're here for a freaking smoke, too.
What? "Freaking"?
What's wrong with your language?
Hey.
I'm talking to you!
You rude brat!
Damn it.
-Huh?
-Huh?
You look awfully familiar.
Choi Il-gwon?
What? Choi…
How dare you call a teacher by his name?
Dude. So you're a teacher.
"Dude"?
You rascal. Who are you?
Ouch! Well…
I'm a transfer student.
A transfer student?
And you're smoking on your first day?
A student shouldn't smoke!
Follow me to the staff room.
Why should I? I didn't even smoke.
What are you holding in your hand, then?
I really didn't smoke!
Look. It's not even open.
Goodness, those rascals.
Who was it, then?
I'm sure other kids were smoking with you!
If you tell me who they were,
I'll let you off today, transfer student.
-Okay?
-What?
Gosh.
Stop trying to deny it.
You little punks.
What you did was bad enough,
but on top of that, you lied!
How dare you smoke at school?
Right. She won't listen to anything I say
while I look like this.
I hope you get reprimanded
and stop doing that, Si-a.
It might seem cool now,
but it'll only harm you in the end.
Of course. Please teach her a lesson
so that she'll come to her senses.
Sir, we got
some equipment delivery downstairs.
-I'll go downstairs.
-Okay, sure.
Ko U-yeong, why are you getting up?
Oh, I already talked it out with Mr. Choi.
Right?
Yes, right.
Please talk to Ko U-yeong and Hong Si-a
and guide them properly.
Sure.
You rascal.
Wait.
-Goodbye.
-Bye.
Sit down!
Yes, sir.
Sit straight. Why are you glaring at him?
A girl shouldn't go about like that.
-How dare you smoke already?
-Ouch!
What do you plan to do with your life?
Sir, don't hit her.
It was wrong of her to smoke,
but you don't have to hit her.
Giving her a lecture is enough.
And this is the 21st century.
Don't talk about her gender.
You're right. That was my mistake.
-It's okay.
-Okay, then.
-Ms. Ok.
-Yes?
You're their homeroom teacher, right?
-Yes.
-Call their parents.
-Immediately!
-What?
Sir, I'm so sorry!
-Sir.
-Why aren't you calling them?
Yes, sir.
You little rascals.
Did you just stop me?
I can't believe this.
The concept of GoGo Play's new game is
a great match
with the baseball player Ye Ji-hun.
I'm sure we could catch
the public's attention…
I miss you.
So cute.
Is he your type?
BASEBALL PLAYER
YE JI-HUN
he's the second most cutest guy after me.
Okay, then. I'll assume Mr. Ko approves.
I'll contact him to be our new model.
Ye Ji-hun?
You said he's cute.
If anyone who's cute can be a model,
I'd do it myself.
-Man.
-Man.
This is a game mostly for female users.
We can't use a model
who's rumored to be a playboy.
You don't know anything
about what women want.
Ye Ji-hun was the best candidate
chosen by female users.
He was also voted as the best date
to go to an amusement park with,
and the most preferred husband material
to invite over on a holiday.
Really?
OH MY TEACHER
The fastest game company in history
to reach ten million downloads.
I'm GoGo Play's CEO, Ko Deok-jin.
Yes, Ms. Ok.
I see.
Okay, all right.
Okay, then. Contact him to be our model.
Something important came up,
so I'll go now.
Go home when you're done.
Ms. Chu.
Chu Ae-rin.
Don't talk to me dressed like that.
We're office neighbors. Let's get along.
Anywhere else is fine,
but don't act friendly
when we're in this building.
I'm so nervous.
Anyone would be nervous in that outfit.
No, I'm on my way to see
my kid's homeroom teacher.
Have you gone insane?
You don't have a kid.
I do. A nasty 18-year-old son.
There's a kid in this world
who has your DNA?
If he takes after you,
it must be a disaster.
For his life and for this earth.
Gosh, you and your jokes.
You made me less nervous, though.
I appreciate it!
Right, that's the real Deok-jin.
By the way, he has an 18-year-old son?
LIVE TOGETHER
Ms. Jung.
Hello, Ms. Ok.
Did Si-a
cause trouble or something?
Si-a got caught smoking, Ms. Ok.
Smoking?
It was an electronic cigarette.
Where did you get this?
It's my mom's.
It is mine,
but I'm not a smoker.
This is fucking absurd!
U-yeong, watch your language. Sit down.
The mom and her daughter
share an e-cigarette.
Why should I sit still?
You smoked, too.
We're not the same!
How are we different?
Guys.
You look so much like him.
Excuse me, Ms. Jung.
Ms. Jung, you can't do this to him.
It can be a social issue these days.
Right, Mom. Don't touch him.
Whom does he look like?
Look. He looks just like your dad.
What? Who?
Dad?
Yes, your dad, Hong Dae-yeong.
Take a closer look.
-Hey.
-Ms. Jung?
-Ms. Jung.
-Mom!
Stop right there!
Uncle Deok-jin?
I'm happy to see you again.
I'm the unmarried father,
single Ko Deok-jin.
Deok-jin?
Hey, Da-jeong.
Wait.
You had a kid?
Oh, right. I never told you.
Yes, he's my son.
He's your son?
Go back to class.
Yes, ma'am.
-Bye.
-Bye, son.
Let's go to the counseling office.
Sure.
COUNSELING OFFICE
Thank you for coming.
It must be tough for you.
Ms. Ok, I'm sorry.
May I buy you a meal
as a token of my apology?
Sorry, but I'm on a diet.
I see.
-What about coffee?
-I'm allergic.
Oh.
Is that you, Jung Da-jeong?
And you're Ko Deok-jin.
Hey, Choi Il-gwon. Why are you here?
I teach P.E at this school.
It's a pleasant surprise to meet you here.
You too, Deok-jin.
What's wrong with him?
He must be still angry with me.
What?
I made a huge mistake in the past.
Anyway, it's been a while.
You're right. You haven't been
coming to our reunions.
Right. If I had known you'd be there,
I would've shown up.
Si-a, the other kids are coming, too.
Aren't you going to come?
No, sorry. I have to go home,
then leave for work.
You're going to work again?
What now?
Why do you have a part-time job?
None of your business.
If you need money,
you can just ask your parents.
Why are you trying to make money already?
There's something I want to do. Happy now?
-See you tomorrow.
-Hey, Ji-ho.
Did you know Si-a had a job?
-Yes.
-How did you know?
I just did. We're friends.
"Friends?"
Then do you know why she got a job?
I do.
But I can't tell you why.
Ji-ho, what are you doing? Hurry up.
Okay. Later.
Damn it.
Those little…
Don't want to play basketball?
You were good as a kid.
I'm not interested.
I thought he wasn't interested.
FAVORITES
MY SON
-Hey, Dad.
-Hey, Si-u.
-Where are you?
-At home.
Home?
Yes, I'm at home. Why?
What do you mean, why?
I just wanted to see how you were doing.
Anyway, Si-u. Are you sure
you're not interested in basketball?
Be honest. If you are,
I'll give you my support.
I'm not interested.
Really?
Hey, Si-u.
How's school?
Any problems?
Does anyone bully you?
No, there's nothing like that.
Why are you suddenly asking me that?
You know, I was just curious.
Hey, Si-u.
Yes?
You can talk to me whenever you want to.
I'm always on your side.
Okay.
Hey, Si-u.
U-yeong?
Not bad.
I'm a pretty good baller myself.
Bull.
Why don't you believe me?
Pass me the ball.
Did you tell Uncle Deok-jin
or my dad about me?
No.
Why would I tell them that?
Then please don't tell them,
even in the future.
Okay. I won't.
Anyway, when did you start basketball?
As a kid, just for fun.
Then you are interested.
I never said I wasn't.
Hong Si-a.
Come here and have a seat.
Why did you take this?
You don't smoke,
so I thought it was garbage.
If I don't smoke,
does it mean you can?
If you can do it, why can't I?
You're still a minor.
I'll be an adult in two years.
How is that so different?
I'm all grown up.
Si-a, adulthood means--
There's not much difference
between 18 and 20.
Why are you stopping me?
What's with you? If you do everything
when you're 18 years old,
-what about when you're an adult?
-Don't worry.
No matter what, I won't live like you.
Hey, why do you think I live like this?
So it's because of me?
I never asked you to have me!
What?
I must've been crazy.
Why did I buy that thing?
ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES
-What are you searching up?
-E-cigarettes.
I told you to quit smoking.
If I quit smoking,
what joy will I have in living?
Stop smoking. I warned you.
Fine.
You drank a lot. Let's stop here.
Let go of me!
You're the meanest!
I should've thrown this out
with Dae-yeong.
Why are you following me?
Hey, can you be my practice partner?
-Practice partner?
-Yes.
I need a practice partner
to join the school basketball team.
-I don't want to.
-Why not?
You do it for fun, anyway.
Let's do it together.
No, thanks.
-Mom.
-Hey, Si-u.
It's you, Deok-jin's son.
I'm sorry for what I did at school today.
Why are you sorry?
Well, it's…
I'm very disappointed.
You're smoking again
after what happened this afternoon?
But U-yeong, this isn't…
Are you out of your mind?
Wait.
You shouldn't say that to an adult.
And why aren't you using honorifics?
Because I don't need to.
-What?
-The truth is, I'm…
I'm…
"I'm your husband, Hong Dae-yeong!"
I almost said that.
I suddenly lost my cool.
To be more precise, you were her husband.
Hey, I didn't get divorced yet.
So? What did you say to her?
I…
lived abroad for a long time,
so honorifics are tough.
You must be fluent in English, then.
I'm not. I lived in Koreatown.
You should've just said you're Dae-yeong.
Because of my kids.
Your kids? Why?
Today, I found out
many things about Si-a and Si-u
I wasn't aware of as their dad.
But…
What's your plan?
Is there anything you want to do?
No.
If you need money,
you can just ask your parents.
Why are you trying to make money already?
There's something I want to do.
-You really don't want to play basketball?
-I'm not interested.
When did you start basketball?
As a kid, just for fun.
Then you are interested.
I never said I wasn't.
They met Ko U-yeong today,
but they told him things
they don't tell Hong Dae-yeong,
who raised them for nearly 20 years.
I think the person they need right now
isn't their dad, Hong Dae-yeong,
but their friend at school,
Ko U-yeong.
Okay. The one I need right now
isn't Hong Dae-yeong, but Ko U-yeong.
You and that mouth of yours.
Hey, Da-jeong!
You came here without a fuss today.
I was craving a drink.
-Excuse me.
-Coming.
Let me take your order.
Huh? Il-gwon?
Hey, Da-jeong.
"Il-gwon"? Choi Il-gwon from high school?
Wait, Chu Ae-rin?
-It's so nice to see you.
-Hi.
Why are you here?
My brother runs this place.
He was short-staffed,
so he asked me for help.
Oh, what a good brother.
Not really.
Choi Il-gwon!
I ran into him, of all people, at school.
I have to be there often to see Ms. Ok.
Dae-yeong, what should I do?
I'm sure he came to his senses
if he became a teacher.
You should let it go.
Il-gwon came to his senses?
People don't change that easily!
Hey, let it go.
Why are you so depressed
that your kid smoked a little?
Smoking is a problem, too,
but the divorce and the interview
kept me busy lately.
I think this happened
because I didn't take good care of them.
Even after 18 years,
it's still tough to raise kids.
I was fired.
And I got divorced.
What do you mean, "divorced"?
Da-jeong, did you divorce Dae-yeong?
Sorry, I wasn't trying to eavesdrop.
It's okay. It's not like
getting divorced is a big deal these days.
It's late. I should go.
Hey, I was about to wrap up.
Wait for me. I'll give you a ride.
No, thanks. We don't live that far away.
Even better, then.
I'll bring my car. Wait outside.
Da-jeong, it seems like
Il-gwon is still interested in you.
What are you talking about?
His first love.
You were his first love.
It's all in the past.
I hope you date
a divorced woman with kids.
He definitely had an affair.
The guy cheated on her.
What's so bad
about a divorced woman with kids?
Let's go.
Everyone looks happy.
Do you still feel down
after that amount of drinks?
I drank a lot,
but my life is still the same.
So the problem is, your life is the same.
Then I have a tip for a life like that.
A tip for such a life?
Do you want to know?
First of all, straighten your shoulders.
Close your eyes
and take one step at a time
as you imagine that you are
the proudest woman in this world.
Then count to ten, open your eyes, and…
Open my eyes and then?
Go out with the first guy
you see.
Come on. I can't do that.
Don't make this boring.
Give it a try.
You can keep doing it.
Fine, whatever.
Keep mocking how others live,
and regret how you lived,
just the way you've been.
You're right.
Who am I to laugh at anyone
when my life is like this?
I'll give it a shot.
Nice, Da-jeong.
is this your first naughty streak?
Shoulders straight.
Here I go.
One.
Two.
Three.
I have a good feeling about this.
Hey, babe.
Really?
Five.
My way
is wrong.
You think your job is a joke?
I won't let this slide
just because you're a mom!
At work.
Six.
Yes, I regret it.
You regret it, too.
Don't you?
At marriage.
Seven.
So it's because of me?
I never asked you to have me!
And even as a mom.
Eight.
Everything in my life
was wrong.
Nine.
Ten.
Are you all right?
What?
Yes.
You should be careful.
Okay.
You reek of alcohol.
Right. I'm sorry.
-Are you all right?
-Yes.
- Then move aside.
- Sorry.
What's going on?
Who is he?
Da-jeong, hop in.
Huh? Ko U-yeong, what are you doing here?
Why are you here?
Why not? I met some of my old friends.
You should go home.
Okay.
Wait, how old are you?
I'm a minor.
Okay, I see.
Da-jeong, take the front seat.
Wait, Mr. Choi.
Give me a ride, too. It's pretty late.
Let's do that. It's dangerous at night.
Is that okay, Il-gwon?
Well…
Okay, then.
How long were you guys friends?
The two of us?
We're Serim High School alumni.
They weren't just friends.
Il-gwon, your first love ws Da-jeong.
-Uh…
-Stop it, Ae-rin.
KO DEOK-JIN
-Hey, Dad.
-Hey, where are you?
Sorry I made you wait. I'm heading home.
You went out for a smoke,
and you're heading home?
Yes, I love you too.
Hey.
Hey!
You two are so loving.
Deok-jin must be a sweet dad.
Wait, what?
Deok-jin is your dad?
What? Deok-jin?
I'd believe it
if you said Dae-yeong was your dad.
You look just like him.
Right? I was shocked at first
because he looked so much like him.
Dae-yeong?
What are you talking about?
He looks much better than Dae-yeong.
No, I honestly thought
Dae-yeong came back.
Right?
Both of you are hilarious.
U-yeong, look.
This is the man they're talking about.
They shouldn't compare you
to a guy like him.
I see.
See? You two are completely different.
No, not the current Dae-yeong.
Think of him when he was younger.
Doesn't he look like him?
Baby Dae-yeong, I can agree.
He was good at basketball, too.
That's all ancient history.
I don't know what kids these days grew on,
but if Dae-yeong and I joined the team
with our skills back then,
we wouldn't even make the bench.
A guy without skills who made it
as a starter
purely out of luck wouldn't make it,
but it would be different for Mr. Hong,
who was always a starter.
How did you know
that Dae-yeong was always a starter?
Well, it's because
Uncle Dae-yeong taught me basketball.
Dae-yeong taught you basketball? Why?
Because
I want to be a basketball player.
Oh, you want to be a basketball player?
That's also just like Dae-yeong.
-Why are you getting off?
-Because I want to.
U-yeong, I'll take you home. Get in.
I'm going to take a taxi.
Really?
Don't go anywhere else, then.
Bye, Da-jeong.
Thanks for the ride.
Bye.
Wait here. I'll get you a cab.
I'll manage. Go inside.
No, it's too dangerous.
It's safer for me than for you.
-Bye.
-I said no.
You.
You had a drink.
What?
I didn't say anything
with your teacher there,
but I smelled alcohol on you.
I won't tell you to stop drinking
because your dad
will get worried.
Nothing your parents say
get through to you
at your age.
But U-yeong,
if you want to play basketball,
you shouldn't drink or smoke.
As you said before,
Uncle Dae-yeong was always a starter.
Do you know how?
Not only did he practice hard,
but he also didn't drink nor smoke.
I know because I was there.
I know how hard he worked for his dreams.
If you desperately
want to make your dream come true,
take care of yourself,
no matter how hard it is.
I nagged you way too long.
Did I bore you?
It was good to hear.
It's an advice for me.
It's been a while since I got one.
Really?
Then I'm glad.
Goodness.
Taxi!
Please take him home safely.
U-yeong, get in.
VACAN
U-yeong.
I'm sorry for nagging you so much,
but smoking is awful for athletes.
So you must quit, okay?
I'll quit smoking with you.
Okay. Go back inside.
Quit smoking, my foot.
Da-jeong said that e-cigarette was yours.
What do you mean?
I don't have an e-cigarette.
She got it as a gift for you.
Da-jeong had no idea
Si-a would take it and start smoking.
She got it for me?
I'll have to quit smoking on my own.
All right, cheers.
Hey, Coach Choi.
-Why are you so late?
-Sorry.
I was going to come right away,
but I ran into my first love.
What? Your first love?
Is she pretty?
Is she pretty? Well…
She was pretty.
If you desperately
want to make your dream come true,
take care of yourself,
no matter how hard it is.
You want to be a basketball player?
That's also just like Dae-yeong.
I honestly thought Dae-yeong came back.
Where did you go so early?
To work out.
To play basketball
and look after my kids properly,
I need to be in shape.
Do you have a smoke?
I threw them all out.
I'm going to quit smoking and drinking.
Let's see how long you last.
Yes! My package is here.
Da-jeong.
What brings you here so early?
You.
Hong Dae-yeong.
5 MONTHS AGO
Thank you.
-Si-a.
-Hey, Dad.
You didn't answer your phone.
Where were you?
Where else? The library.
Drinking again?
I just wanted to grab a drink.
Aren't you cold?
Why are you dressed like that?
It's a scary world now.
Don't go around so late.
Why are you trying to make money already?
If you need money,
you can just ask your parents.
I passed.
I got the job at JBC!
She hasn't smiled in so long.
I forgot how pretty her smile was.
A mom came in first
in JBC's open recruitment?
Make her leave
before the training is over.
-You came like this?
-I look awful, right?
They let you go like this?
This is heartbreaking.
I saw Ja-seong bothering you again.
What else can I do?
Fight him? Should I go fight him?
Gu Ja-seong! Let's fight.
