Hello, ma'am!
You're here, Jung-hwan?
-I need the bathroom. Go to my room.
-Okay.
Gosh.
He put them all in alphabetical order?
What a freak.
Such a freak.
SUNG DEOK-SUN'S. IF YOU TOUCH
YOU'LL HAVE THREE YEARS OF BAD LUCK
Look at this.
It's practically brand new.
11665 SUN-WOO
You want a drink?
SEWING KI
What are you thinking about?
I'm 100 percent sure now.
What are you talking about?
Sit down. I'll explain everything.
It's fine.
I'm not interested in other people's
love lives. I'll get going.
-Hey, have dinner before you go!
-I'm fine.
Is Taek back?
Is he home now?
He did come home, but he stayed up
all night so he's probably asleep now.
Then don't make any soup
for breakfast tomorrow.
I'm making some delicious
dried radish leaf soup tonight.
I'll bring some over soon.
Delicious?
It's fine
Really, it's fine
Then
I'd only like a little bit.
Taek, let's eat--
-Damn it!
-Hey, the blanket!
There's no damn sunlight
down in this basement room.
Hey, my feet! My feet are still uncovered!
Hey!
Gosh, it's cold!
Mom, isn't there any hot water?
I guess No-eul used it to wash his hair
this morning. Just use cold water.
How can I do that? I'll freeze to death!
What about Dad?
What? Oh, he used
cold water this morning, too.
Jung-hwan! Come eat!
I'm fine. I'm not eating.
Are you going to school?
-Are you not?
-I am.
Aren't you late?
Yes. That's why I'm going to go later.
I know a secret way.
Hey, Sung Deok-sun.
Did he confess to you yet?
He didn't.
Hey.
Maybe he thinks you're too precious
or something?
I think it's because he's worried
that you'll be too shocked.
I'm so jealous.
Wow, what a sincere guy.
Even so, he'll probably confess
before Christmas.
What if he misses his chance?
I think he'll confess soon.
I have a hunch.
Hey.
If you kiss him, by any chance
you have to tell us, okay?
Of course I will.
Hey, can you get an autograph for me?
What?
Why? What's so great about being
student council president?
No.
Not from your boyfriend,
from Choi Taek.
What?
You said Choi Taek lives
in your neighborhood.
The genius Go-game player.
My dad wants his autograph.
Deok-sun, can you introduce him to me?
I'll be really good to him.
Actually, just give me
his phone number. I'll call him.
Even I don't see him that often.
He's never home.
And even when does,
he plays Go-game all day.
Even so, I bet you talk to him.
I'm so jealous.
He doesn't talk much.
It's so frustrating.
Hey. Apparently,
they consider him a god over in China.
I heard that they treat him
as if he's a god.
The god of Go-game.
A god among gods.
A god?
He's more like the god of stupidity.
Here.
Oh
You only act stupid around us, right?
You won't act like this
anywhere else, right?
Hey, people respect you like crazy.
There are some people
who believe you're a god.
So, don't do anything
in front of other people.
Don't touch anything.
Ask other people to do something
for you if you don't know how. Okay?
I'm not an idiot.
It doesn't work.
Here.
You're an idiot, right? Idiot.
Oh
Next up is Go-game News.
The final rounds
of the World Go-game Championships
will take place in Shanghai, China
starting tomorrow.
This is an international competition
in which only the best
in the world participate.
Out of the five representatives
from Korea, four of them were eliminated.
The only one left is Choi Taek, 6-dan.
Realistically, it is difficult
for him to win the championship.
Is this it? Aren't you going to be
in China for a week?
I have a shirt and pants.
-What about my jacket?
-I packed it.
That's all I need then.
China has three representatives
and Japan has two.
And Korea only has you left, so
You'll be back tomorrow
after you lose the first round.
I'm not just saying this to mess around.
There are some things that aren't possible
so don't give people false hopes.
Just come back and buy us some pizza.
There's a new place in Jongro.
What if I win?
If you win, you can do whatever you want.
Why are you asking me that?
Oh
Gosh.
You don't drink or care about women.
What fun do you have in life?
Is there something you want to do?
Besides playing Go-game?
A movie.
An actor?
I want to watch a movie.
You can go watch a movie if you win then.
If you win this time, go watch.
Gosh.
Before that, Taek
Let's fix your clothes.
Unbelievable.
I just don't get it.
Why do people lose to you?
Gosh, seriously.
I'll I'll do it.
THE 6TH ANNUAL WOORI SECURITIES
WORLD GO-GAME CHAMPIONSHIP
LOCATION: SHANGHAI, CHINA
SHANGHAI, CHINA
KOREA'S CHOI TAEK, 6-DAN
VS CHINA'S REO SI-HEO, 9-DAN
CHOI TAEK
Just finish it today.
There's two more of us.
I'm sure one of us will win.
I think we'll win this year.
-Let's do it!
-Let's do it!
Mister, did Taek win?
-They haven't started the match yet.
-I see.
Is anyone here?
-Oh, Sun-woo--
-Can you heat up water for ramen, please?
Sun-woo! Let's eat ramen
Sun-woo, Jung-hwan
and Dong-ryong are all here.
Damn you all.
You guys were eating by yourselves?
You should've come sooner.
Is it that difficult to call me?
You're so mean.
Since when did we plan to meet
before coming here?
We always come and eat on our own.
And your cheeks are all red, like a hick.
Are you Aurora?
Then are you Nello?
-You look like a country bumpkin!
-Country bumpkin? Excuse me?
Hey, Kukudas!
What did you call me?
Stop it, you hick and Kukudas!
Hey, when are we going to mentally
graduate from Ssangmun Kindergarten?
Deok-sun.
Seriously, your cheeks are really red!
I told you.
Hey, it's because I came from the cold
into this warm room!
It won't last long!
Gosh, you guys
Deok-sun, do you want me to make
you a ramen? It won't take long.
No, it's okay.
I'm fine with this.
But why does Taek have to win
five rounds on his own?
It's a consecutive victory.
Hey, you think she understands that?
All of the Korean players lost,
and he's the only one left.
China has three and Japan has two.
But he'll have to win today to keep going.
I see.
But I think it'll be hard
for our Taek to win this time.
How can he beat them all on his own?
He doesn't seem to be
in a good state either.
Hey, Dong-ryong.
Mind your own business.
Have you seen him play?
What about Nello and Aurora?
He's on a different level than us.
You idiots from Ssangmun Kindergarten.
Okay?
What an asshole.
CHOI TAEK
Hello?
Yes.
Gosh, it's so windy outside.
-You're so warm. How nice.
-Get away from me.
But I'm so cold.
My body and heart are so cold lately.
On this starry night.
Hello, everyone. I'm Lee Moon-sae.
It's gotten very windy outside.
If you're with someone
you love right now,
why not use the hard winds as an excuse
to gently lean on them?
Into the embrace of your loved one,
which is warmer than anything else.
I'm sure they'll hold you tight.
Oh, Jung-pal.
Yes?
There's not much time
before Jung-bong's college exams, right?
Are his studies going well?
Do you know what his favorite number is?
-What is it?
-Lucky seven.
I think he'll fail the exam again.
He's busy writing postcards lately.
What postcards?
To who?
This is today's first story.
"Hello, Moon-sae hyungnim.
I'm Kim Jung-bong from Ssangmun.
It's been three years since
I first started listening to your program.
I'm a student who is about to retake
the college entrance exams."
Yes!
"Your voice and the great songs
you play are a great source of comfort
and strength to me,
as I am worn out from studying.
If I make it into college this time,
it's all thanks to Starry Night.
Moon-sae hyungnim."
Why does he call him "hyungnim"
even though Jung-bong looks older?
I send postcards to them all the time.
I wonder why they never read mine?
Be quiet. Let's listen.
"I'm sure it's hard for you to believe,
but do you know who lives on my block?
It's the genius Go-game player, Choi Taek.
Choi Taek, 6-dan, and I are very close.
But Moon-sae hyungnim,
Taek is having a difficult time because
he's competing in a huge championship.
He'll have his first match
in Shanghai, China soon
and one of his opponents has
an IQ of 160!
My IQ is lower than 100."
Jung-bong.
Looks like you've revealed your IQ
to the entire country.
Oh, dear.
"Moon-sae hyungnim,
please cheer for our Taek
so he can beat his smart opponent.
Since China is far away,
I'm sure he'll need a lot of support.
Honestly, I'm a Buddhist,
but I'll be praying for his victory."
Oh
But, what do we do, Mister Kim Jung-bong?
We've received at least 50 postcards
from people who say
that they live on the same block
as Choi Taek.
So, next time
please include a photo
of yourself with Choi Taek.
We need some proof.
Even so, we'll have to give you a gift.
To Mr. Kim Jung-bong
from Ssangmundong,
we'll give you the third place prize,
a Cabbage Patch Kid.
We'd love to have Choi Taek
on our show sometime.
That'd be nice, right?
Oh, we also have some news
that just came in.
Choi Taek, 6-dan, has defeated
that IQ 160 Chinese player!
-Give him a round of applause!
-Wow!
Wow, how amazing.
For Choi Taek, 6-dan, who won
the first victory in a lonely battle
we wish him that today will be
a special day by playing One Day's
"On that Kind of Day"!
"On That Kind of Day".
Give me the blanket.
-Hey, give me the blanket!
-Fine.
Hey! Gosh!
Don't move.
Okay, fine.
Hey, stay still!
SSANGMUN PHARMACY
-I'll get going.
-Okay, bye.
See you tomorrow.
How many more players
does Taek have to face now?
Four.
Two Chinese and Two Japanese left,
but all of them are really skilled.
Wow.
Do you think Taek can win?
I don't know. He has to keep it up.
It will be great if he wins, right?
Yes, he needs to win so we can eat pizza.
Pizza sounds delicious!
The second round of the 6th International
Go-game Championships will start soon.
6-dan Choi Taek's opponent today is
Japan's Jang Shi, 9-dan.
He is the best Japanese player
who has won over 1,400 matches.
During the press conference,
Japan stated that they'll win for sure
Hello!
How many more does he have to beat?
Four.
Still four more left to go?
That'll be pretty tough.
Anyway, if
Taek defeats both China and Japan,
buying chicken is not enough.
You know, that thing
Maotai or Mueitai or whatever.
You need to treat us
with that really expensive Chinese liquor.
Sure.
But
I think it'll be difficult this time.
He has matches every day
so he's physically worn out.
And on top of that,
he's in a slump lately.
I don't think it'll be possible
for him to win the championship.
Also, the remaining Chinese
and Japanese players are really good
That's why I said, "If"!
If he wins
Maota or whatever.
You know that thing, right?
Are you, by any chance saying this
because you don't want to buy the liquor?
No, not at all!
It's just that
he doesn't even get a day off
in between matches.
And Taek wasn't in such a good condition
before this championship match,
so he's mentally worn out as well.
So, whether or not he wins all depends
on how he overcomes these burdens.
Oh.
So you can make this kind of play
in this situation.
This is how you play.
Taek is amazing.
Should I make him my son-in-law?
My daughter daughter!
Really? Then shall I seduce him?
Yes! Go ahead and seduce him!
I'm sure he has no eye for women
since all he knows is Go-game anyway.
What? What's wrong with me?
I'm not that bad.
What is this?
Where did you get this car?
It's my senior's. He's going away for
a while, so I'm using it for a few months.
She's in trouble.
That's dangerous!
You've never driven before!
It's fine! I just need to drive slowly.
Where did you get that jacket?
I bought it by saving up my allowance,
so don't worry about it.
I'm wearing that jacket tomorrow.
Then I'm going to wear your dress.
The white knee-length one.
Sure.
Gosh, it's cold.
Let's go home. I'll make sujebi.
Get in! You can ride in my car.
-No
-We're almost home anyway!
It's cold! Hurry up and get in!
-No, it's fine!
-It's right there!
Come on!
-No, it's okay.
-Get in! It's cold!
Hurry up and get in!
-It's fine
-Hurry up and get in, Mom!
We have great news from Shanghai, China.
Choi Taek, 6-dan, defeated
Jang Shi, 9-dan of Japan
in 245 moves.
Choi Taek, 6-dan, now has
three matches left.
So, Korea is regaining hope
of potentially winning the championship.
Son! I made some castella.
Come out and have some.
I'm okay. I don't want any.
Okay. Study, then.
-What? He said he doesn't want any?
-Yes.
Jung-bong!
Bong!
He's busy studying! Don't bother him!
Jung-bong! Have some castella.
No thank you, Mom. I don't want any.
I don't have much time.
What did I tell you?
I told you not to bother him.
He might really make it this time.
His level of concentration is
totally different now.
Of course.
If he's a human,
he shouldn't take the exam a seventh time.
Here here. I'll give it to you.
Stop it. I'm serious.
Okay, I won't.
How could you be so gullible
as to fall for that again?
Okay. For real, this time.
I won't do it again.
Really. Here.
The first song on Starry Night tonight is
a song that many people requested.
Kim Hee-ae's "Don't Forget Me."
Um I was thinking
of reading another one of Ssangmun
Kim Jung-bong's postcards.
-Yes!
-I guess he's unemployed.
He sends postcards so often.
No, he said he was studying
for college entrance exams.
Maybe he gave up
or maybe he's fully prepared for the exam.
It must be one of the two.
"Hyungnim, I want to introduce you
to another star living in Ssangmun."
Wow this is so funny.
Strangely enough, a lot of stars seem
to live in that neighborhood.
"The star I want to introduce today is
someone who lives downstairs from me.
Her name is Sung Bo-ra.
Bo-ra is the smartest person
in our neighborhood.
She always had the highest grades
in school
and made 80th percentile
in the entire nation.
She was accepted to Seoul University
for Math Education with good grades.
She's a genius among geniuses.
Adults look at Bo-ra and say
she's 'wild and scary,'
and even say that she makes them want
to piss their pants.
But the Sung Bo-ra I know just has
a rough expression.
Otherwise, she has a warm heart."
Sis, are you crazy?
-If dad finds out, you're dead.
-Whatever. What do you want?
Great-aunt passed away. We have to go now.
Oh, really?
Okay.
Um Bo-ra.
We can just take the bus.
Buses are out of service.
Which one was the accelerator?
Bo-ra!
We'll just take a taxi. You must be tired.
It's not like we're rich.
Let's just go.
This goes here, and
Damn this shitty car.
-You have to turn off the emergency brake.
-Oh right.
-Bo-ra! Look forward!
-Bo-ra! Front!
I'm looking forward!
There's a puppy!
I told you, I'm aware of it!
Hey, I think the car hit something.
-Should I go take a look?
-No, don't.
-It'll only take a second.
-Don't leave the car! Don't move!
I think we hit a puppy or something.
We have to go out and take a look!
I told you, don't leave!
Then hurry up and go!
What if another car comes behind?
No! I'm not moving!
What if it's a puppy?
Honey, please get out of the car
and check what it is!
Don't leave the car!
Don't leave! Nobody move!
Then hurry up and get going!
A car is coming!
I told you, I'm not going!
I'm not going to move!
Gosh.
Hey, turn it off!
Hey, you have to get out
and check out the situation!
No! You can't go out, no matter what!
You better not!
Bo-ra, I think it'd be fine for us
to go slowly then.
Are you insane? What if it's a dead puppy?
We can't just leave it here!
Are we going to spend all night here?
Please grow up!
Your temper is getting worse as you age!
What the hell did I do?
One day, he'll come back to my side
-Turn that off!
-Did someone die? Keep it together!
We're going to spend
the night here anyway.
My heart is fluttering
Did something good happen?
You're dancing so happily.
Yes. Taek won again.
Really?
Taek said he'll buy us pizza
if he wins again.
-There's still three more people left?
-Yes, a Chinese player.
He's a Wang Le-yi killer!
What's the matter with you?
He's a Wang Le-yi killer!
You crazy bastard!
Stop it!
THE THIRD MATCH
KOREA'S CHOI TAEK, 6-DAN
VS CHINA'S WANG LE-YI, 9-DAN
The match will now begin. Start!
CHOI TAEK
WANG LE-YI
Mom, have you seen my jacket?
Your sister wore it.
She said it's sports day today.
Really? Then I'm going to wear her dress.
Go ahead. You two made a deal.
But can you wear that, in this weather?
It's okay! I just need to wear a coat.
Gypsy!
Sung Bo-ra, that crazy bitch!
I'm going to kill her!
Ball!
Okay!
Ball!
Ball! It's mine! Move!
Hey! It's my ball!
-I bought this bag today.
-It looks nice.
Do you want to trade?
Are you kidding me?
Students.
Let's chat for a second.
This was expensive.
Hey!
What's going on?
You two made two mistakes.
The first mistake was
that you two students were smoking.
The second mistake was that you two threw
your cigarette butts on the ground.
Okay?
Hey, Mister. Just go.
You made a third mistake just now.
I'm not a "Mister."
I told you to leave, Mister!
-I told you, I'm not a "Mister."
-What did you say?
-How dare you!
-You little--
How dare you stare at me like that,
you little piece of shit!
-Who are you?
-Who do you think? The apostle of justice.
Hey, you're from Ssangmun High, right?
Want me to get the dean?
He lives right around here!
-No, ma'am.
-No, ma'am.
You damn troublemakers.
A student smoking 88's?
Not even Evergreens?
I'm sorry.
Look at you guys.
Wearing made in U.S.A goods?
Don't you know how great
Korean-made goods are, nowadays?
Repeat after me.
Let's use Korean-made products!
-Let's use
-Let's use
-Louder!
-Okay, okay.
-Let's use Korean-made products!
-Let's use Korean-made products!
Let's quit smoking!
-Let's quit smoking!
-Let's quit smoking!
We're the nation's hope!
-We're the
-We're the
We're the nation's hope!
-We're the nation's hope!
-We're the nation's hope!
We will free the country!
-We will free the country!
-We will free the country!
Free the democracy fighters!
-Free the democracy fighters!
-Free the democracy fighters!
Stop raising the tuition!
-Stop
-Stop
-raising the tuition!
-Tuition!
Imprison the law-breakers!
A miracle is happening
at the Go-game championships in Shanghai.
The only player left representing
Korea, Choi Taek, 6-dan,
defeated China's Wang Le-yi, 9-dan
and Japan's Wang Minan, 9-dan,
consecutively,
and today will be his last match,
against China's Wang Shi, 6-dan.
-I'm going.
-Okay.
Why don't you just live here,
if you're going to come by every day?
I'm not here to see you.
Is Jung-bong up?
Yes. Why?
I always send postcards to Starry Night,
but they only pick his.
I want to borrow some postcards
from Jung-bong.
Jung-bong isn't studying lately?
Did he ever?
I'll get going.
Hello, Moo-sung!
There's only one guy left now, right?
Yes. If he wins today,
he'll win the championship.
Wow.
Taek is really something.
He just defeated five guys on his own!
Then, when Taek comes back,
shall we throw a congratulatory party
and have some drinks?
There's still one game left.
He has to win today to be the champion.
Stop being so humble again.
Isn't the last player a Chinese newbie?
Even the news said Taek will win!
You never know with Go-game.
What do you mean?
Our Taek is extraordinary.
All the skilled Go-game players
in the world were defeated by Taek!
So there's no way that newbie will have
a chance against him!
Taek has a jinx.
What do you mean?
As you know, he doesn't talk much.
He's a quiet kid.
He's shy with strangers.
Yes, that's right.
Taek is a shy boy.
It's the same when he plays Go-game.
-What?
-He's weak when playing against a newbie.
When he faces someone
for the first time, he crumbles.
I see.
Mr. Choi! Did Sun-woo pass by?
-Yes, just now.
-Damn it!
-Greet people properly!
-Goodbye!
So if he's really unlucky, he could lose.
Well, even if he loses,
we've been cheering hard,
so let's have a drink.
-Sure.
-Good luck!
TODAY AT 6:00 P.M.
LAST MATCH OF THE CHAMPIONSHIPS
WANG SHI
CHOI TAEK
THE FIFTH MATCH
KOREA'S CHOI TAEK, 6-DAN
VS CHINA'S WANG SHI, 6-DAN
Why isn't Choi Taek here yet?
Did something happen?
Choi Taek comes right on time.
He gets lost in thought alone
and comes right before the match begins.
-He's here.
-Oh.
He looks like he's about to faint.
I guess he didn't get any sleep.
Reporter Shin.
He's had five consecutive matches!
Even during nationals,
they give people at least a day off.
The fact that he's even able
to sit there is incredible.
Even if he loses today, make sure
you write a nice article about him.
No way he'll lose!
This is why Taek can't sleep.
I guess Choi Taek will be playing
with the black stones.
But
isn't his record better
when he plays with white stones?
Watch your mouth!
We'll now begin the match. Start!
We'd like all the members
of the press to leave in ten minutes.
Gosh.
Mr. Choi, did Taek call?
-Did you get a call?
-No, not yet.
Oh, okay.
Bonghwangdang, what happened with Taek?
Did he win?
Did he lose?
The match isn't over yet.
I'm waiting for his call.
Damn it.
How about Taek? Did he win?
No, not yet.
You haven't heard from Taek yet?
We don't know yet.
Oh
The match isn't over yet
and I haven't gotten a call.
Just go home and wait.
He still hasn't called?
No, not yet.
Gosh.
RETURNED TO SENDER
She actually used her real name
to send the postcards?
Hello, Mr. Moon-sae!
I'm Sunny from Ssangmun.
Please don't say my real name on the air.
I'm in the midst of experiencing
my first love right now.
Not only that, I've fallen in love
with my childhood friend.
Whenever I see him, I become happy.
And even when I'm eating or studying,
all I can think about is him.
Mr. Moon-sae, this is love, right?
The name of the person I like is SW.
Even his name is cool, right?
His looks are even cooler than his name.
Lastly, I'd like to say something to SW.
SW! Thank you for liking me.
I like you, too!
Jung-hwan!
The match is over. I just received a call.
How was the match today?
Very hard.
I couldn't win.
He's a really skilled player.
You worked hard.
Hey, Bonghwangdang!
What happened? Did he win?
Did he win or lose?
I'm sure the results are out by now!
Come on, tell us!
Jung-hwan didn't tell you?
No, he just went straight to his room.
Stop beating around the bush and tell us!
I'm going insane!
He won.
I told you Taek would win!
Hooray!
On a day like this,
we can't not have these!
What are your plans now?
There aren't any matches coming up.
Don't you have any plans?
I do have plans.
What?
An unbelievable victory has occurred
at the International
Go-game Championships.
Korea's Choi Taek, 6-dan,
has beaten the odds and won
five straight matches
to win the championship.
Wow! I knew Taek was good,
but I didn't know he was this good.
It's just us.
Apparently, they treat him better
than the President everywhere else.
Really?
Deok-sun, what are you doing?
Come eat your favorite sweet potatoes.
She probably shoved something down.
How can you talk about your sister
like that? Could you just say "she ate"?
Deok-sun.
Have some sweet potatoes.
They contain good fiber.
I'm not having any!
I can't get full on something like that.
He should've called by now.
Choi Taek, 6-dan, was suffering
through a slump prior to the championship.
However, he proved his world-class
ability to the nation once again
by winning five consecutive games
to become the reigning champion.
Despite the doubts surrounding him,
Choi Taek, 6-dan,
confidently won the championship
with his skills.
It's hard to believe that he is only 18,
considering this outcome.
Jung-hwan, have some sweet potatoes.
I'm fine.
Taek still isn't home yet?
Have some sweet potatoes!
Aren't you hungry?
I'm fine. Help yourself.
Gosh, you're eagerly waiting for his call!
Hello? You're here?
Okay.
Mom, I'll get going!
Hello?
Okay.
I'm sure Taek is worn out!
Come home soon, okay?
Oh, Taek! You're home?
Okay! I'm coming!
Gosh, watch your step!
You might trip.
You're here?
I came as fast as I could,
but I stopped by the Association
Hurry over.
Then I'm eating this one.
Why? Are you crazy?
You want to die?
What? I thought you had no appetite.
-I'm taking it home.
-Let's play rock-paper-scissors.
Damn it.
I confessed to the girl that works
at the study room and got rejected.
I pity myself.
I live in a half-basement.
Jung-hwan lived in a one-room
until three years ago.
My older sister is Sung Bo-ra.
-His older brother is Kim Jung-bong.
-Damn it.
What? I like my older brother.
-Then I'm eating this one.
-No, wait.
-What about you?
-What? Something pitiful about myself?
You better not bring up your dad.
And you better not bring up your mom.
That's cheating.
You punks
I like someone but I haven't been
able to confess for two years now.
I was just kidding.
What's up with this mood change?
Fine, you eat it.
Go ahead.
I'm being serious.
What's up with this gloomy mood?
I don't know what to do.
Confess.
What?
You should confess.
Confess on the first day it snows.
Gosh.
Confess on the day of the first snowfall,
okay?
Wow Taek is really incredible.
You must be so happy!
Yes, I feel good today.
That's why I'm saying this
But do you want to trade
my three kids for Taek?
Three-for-one trade.
If you think about it,
you're not really losing out.
It's because it's so damn hard
to raise daughters!
I bet!
Raising a daughter
like Bo-ra is difficult!
I can't even look her in the face,
she's so scary.
Gosh
Where's Jin-ju?
I don't see her around.
I sent her to my mom's house.
Tae-soo said he was going,
so I had her tag along.
I guess she's doing well, not crying.
Yes! She loves my mom!
She gets to get all the things she likes
and, in turn, I can, too.
We're already out of liquor!
Gosh.
Why'd you only buy one bottle?
You should've bought at least three.
-I'll go buy more.
-No, it's fine.
We have some plum wine at home.
Honey, call home and ask Bo-ra
to bring it over here.
We can ask No-eul instead.
No-eul went to go sleep over
at his friend's house.
Deok-sun is hanging out at Taek's.
What are you doing?
Hurry up and call her.
Why are you asking me to bring that?
No! I'm getting ready to go
to my senior's place!
I told you I'm sleeping there!
So on you way out
you can drop by here for a quick second.
You'd be here in only four steps
out the front door.
Gosh, that girl.
I thought she'd pop out of the phone.
Just watch. She'll come anyway.
Really?
Want to bet on it?
Just wait! She'll come!
Even though she talks like that,
she has a warm heart.
If her heart was any warmer,
we'd all burn to death.
See? I told you she'd come.
Bo-ra, come over here!
-Where's your bathroom?
-Bathroom?
Over there.
Who's calling at this hour?
Gosh, my back.
Since when?
What did the doctor say?
Yes.
I see
You have to stay by her side
and watch her all night.
Her fever could spike suddenly.
Um I'll take the first bus down there
tomorrow morning, Mom.
Okay.
Is Jin-ju sick?
Yes. She said that her fever went up
to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
Did she go see a doctor?
She got better after that, but
I didn't even know she was sick
and here I was drinking.
Don't you have to go down there?
Let's go. I'll give you a ride.
Sit down! You can't drink and drive!
I bet the trains have stopped running
by now.
Just take the first train
down there tomorrow.
She'll be fine.
She went to the hospital,
so I'm sure she'll be fine.
Don't worry! All kids get sick
while they're growing up.
Goodbye.
Hey!
Is the senior you're meeting a girl?
Gosh, she's an adult now!
Stop interfering!
Who cares if it's a guy or a girl?
Gosh, I don't know where the hell
she's off to, all the time.
Don't worry about Bo-ra.
She'll take care of herself.
She's a smart one, after all.
If she were any smarter,
she'd be bossing us around.
BONGHWANGDANG
Taek!
Good night!
I'm off to bed!
Okay, good night!
-Good night!
-Good night!
Gosh.
Sun-woo.
What?
Switch spots with me.
No, I want to sleep next to Taek.
He's so warm.
He's perfect to cuddle with.
It's not that
This bastard farted again.
Gosh! Why do you keep farting?
Gosh! It smells!
What did you eat?
Damn it! Why do you always do this?
She's not asking for me?
Oh
She might have an upset stomach,
so don't feed her anything.
Okay.
Okay, I'll go early tomorrow morning.
Okay.
Gosh.
What is it? Did Jin-ju wake up?
I can just go tomorrow.
You probably won't be able to sleep
all night.
Even if I went to my senior's,
we would've just partied all night.
Get in.
Hurry up and get in!
It's cold!
Oh, okay.
Jung-bong, call Dad and tell him
to come eat dinner.
Okay.
In terms of political, economical,
and social aspects, Korea has been
Okay.
He asks what we're having for dinner.
Meat.
We're having meat, Dad.
What kind of meat? Beef? Pork?
Beef! I bought beef!
Hurry up and come home!
Now for the weather forecast.
It's the first Wednesday of December
and we'll be having the first day
of snow this year.
We are predicting
that there will be heavy snowfall.
Please be cautious driving
-I'm back from school!
-Hurry and wash up. Let's have dinner.
Okay.
-I'm home.
-You're home, my son?
Get washed up for dinner. I bought beef.
-You haven't been eating lately.
-I'm fine. I'm not feeling well.
I'll go wash.
All right, shall we read
some stories, then?
Yes!
It may be because Christmas is coming up,
but we're getting
a lot of love-related ones lately.
This is the first one.
"I'm Lee Ji-eun from Myunmokdong."
Deok-sun! I'm going out!
Okay!
"this winter has been
really cold for me."
Wow! It really looks like it'll snow.
Jung-hwan! Snow--
It might snow tonight,
so if it does, wake me up.
I really want to see the first snowfall.
It hurts.
Please, come on.
Please read mine, just once!
Deok-sun!
Sung Deok-sun!
Oh, you're here, Sun-woo.
Come in.
No, that's okay.
What brings you here?
-Is Bo-ra here?
-Who? Sung Bo-ra?
She's not home.
Why are you looking for her?
It's snowing
What?
Sun-woo, just a moment.
-I'll bring it quickly.
-Sure.
Bo-ra!
Oh, Sun-woo.
Did you come to borrow something again?
Yes, some pencil lead.
What are you looking at?
-Did you come here to keep an eye on me?
-No.
I just wanted to know if you were okay.
Sun-woo.
Here. A sewing kit.
That's mine.
You think she'd have a sewing kit?
Borrow it from the right person next time.
You're so dumb.
How did you manage to become
student council president?
Hey!
Stop right there.
Why is it Sung Bo-ra of all people?
Why her?
Because I like her.
For what? What do you like about her?
She's pretty.
My ass.
And she's smart.
My ass.
And she's kind.
You're crazy.
I think the mole near her eye is pretty.
I made that for her!
I stabbed her with a lead pencil there
when I was nine!
Gosh! Why does it have to be her?
Why Sung Bo-ra? Dang it!
Ouch. Hey!
I'm never seeing you again.
What are you going to do
if you keep starving?
You're really not hungry?
Want me to make you ramen?
Yes, I'd like that.
Ramen.
Ramen.
This is the last story for today.
Honestly, we've been waiting for this day
to be able to read this.
The first snowfall of the year.
I'm sure those of you listening
to Starry Night really wanted
to see a loved one on a day like this.
But I'm sure that the person who sent this
feels that way more than anyone.
Sunny from Ssangmun
sent us this message.
"Hello, Moon-sae brother.
I'm Ssangmun Sunny,
who is love-sick from her first love.
I have a crush on someone who lives
in my neighborhood.
And that guy likes me, too.
But I haven't received
a confession from him yet.
Since he's a shy guy, he doesn't
seem to be able to muster the courage.
Moon-sae brother,
my wish is that he'd confess his feelings
to me on the day it first snows.
So, please read my postcard
on the day of the first snow, okay?
That's because
even if he doesn't confess on that day,
this will be broadcast all over
the country, which will console me.
Oh, of course, if he confesses to me
and my postcard is read
that would be even better!
Moon-sae brother, please pray with me
that my first love works out.
I'll put all my faith in you!"
That's a lot of pressure.
It's nice that you believe in me, but
Wow.
I think a lot of people feel the same way
as Ssangmun Sunny.
Ssangmun Sunny,
you know that it's snowing now, right?
Did he confess? I'm really curious.
I wonder what it feels like
to be confessed to by your first love
on the first day of snow of the year.
I bet she'd be the happiest person
on the planet.
That's what I think.
Just like that beautiful
first snowfall outside,
I hope that your beautiful love grows
even bigger.
Listeners of Starry Night,
did you know?
They say that the chances
of your confession succeeding
increase to over 90 percent
on the first day of snow of the year.
I wonder if it's because of the romantic
atmosphere it creates.
If you love someone right now
and you're wondering
whether or not you should confess
tonight is your chance.
Muster up your courage
and confess your love.
Bo-ra!
There's over a 90 percent
chance of succeeding.
The remaining 10 percent depends
on your luck.
You'll have to leave it to luck.
Well, have strength!
Where have you been?
I had to go to the countryside.
Dressed like this?
Gosh, it's so cold
I could freeze to death.
Why? Is something wrong?
What are you doing here?
I was waiting for you.
For me?
Why?
Because I have something to tell you.
Go ahead.
-I'm really going to say it.
-Sure, go ahead.
I like you, Bo-ra.
I said, I like you.
I hope that everyone who confesses
today has their love come true.
And, by any chance, if there is anyone
who hasn't been confessed to
by the one they love yet
or, if you're suffering
from love-related pains
don't be too sad.
Another person may be
in love with you, right now.
Hello?
Why are you calling at this hour?
Oh, okay. Hold on.
Deok-sun, pick up the phone!
And they may just confess to you
out of the blue.
That they've liked you for a long time,
even though you were totally unaware.
Hello?
Wow.
This is the last song for tonight.
It suits tonight so well.
Lee Jung-suk's
"The First Snow Is Falling."
It's me, Taek.
Yes. Why are you calling so late?
Did something happen?
No, nothing.
I see.
Hurry up and go home.
You should sleep.
It's almost midnight.
Okay.
Deok-sun.
Yes, what is it?
Shall we
go watch a movie?
Let's go watch a movie.
The two of us.
NOVEMBER 2015
Bo-ra, come on!
Hey, just let me off the hook.
I can't smoke at home.
-I can only smoke here.
-Then go smoke outside.
Out on the porch.
Gosh, you're such a pain!
It's your phone.
It's your husband.
-Give it to me.
-It's a video call.
-Gosh! Wait!
-Hey
I'm sorry.
Oh, honey! Why are you calling so late?
I'm at Deok-sun's place.
Deok-sun! It's snowing!
You're right.
Honey!
Hey! It's snowing! Hurry over!
You should come too, honey. I miss you.
What I remember most about the first snow?
When you got rejected by Sun-woo?
In 1988?
She was writing so many postcards
to Starry Night and stuff
She put on quite a show.
-Gosh.
-How did you know that?
Did I tell you, by any chance?
There's nothing I don't know about you.
You should be good to me.
There's no other guy like me
that could understand you.
You can't find another husband like me.
Whatever. Do you want me to talk
about all the girls you dated before?
-We could spend all night!
-Hey, but in 1988
wasn't that when they did
the music festival?
Was that at the gymnasium?
And who did you go with?
No, we went there with our gang!
I saw it on TV at home!
No, we went and saw it.
Who won the award that year, again?
Jeon Yoo-na's "That Thing Called Love"?
That was in 1989!
In 1988, it was Endless Orbit's
"To That Person"!
Oh
No, it was Jeon Yoo-na.
No, it was Endless Orbit!
Should we place a bet?
Everyone puts in 1000 won
and winner takes all.
Merry Christmas in advance.
See you on Christmas Eve, okay?
Then, this year's gift
for the kids will be
There's no such thing as Santa.
That's great!
-Hurry up and apologize!
-There's no need to apologize.
You're throwing all this nonsense.
What's with the mood today,
when it's Christmas?
What? What's going on?
-Did something huge happen?
-Yes!
Dance, dance!
Don't tell anyone
what happened today, okay?
-I have something to tell you.
-Me?
Why are you picking a fight?
Damn you!
We will start the Secret Santa game.
I have you.
You're my Secret Santa, right?
Gosh.
I don't even have a Secret Santa.
I don't deserve to be loved.
Then, see you on Christmas day.
Don't fall asleep.
