Come on!
You bastard!
Please spare me, mister!
Sang-hoon! Eun-shil!
Eun-shil.
Eun-shil!
Don't come any closer.
I said not to come any closer!
Eun-shil!
Don't come any closer!
Think the world will change if you die?
People call us whining teens
because we make a fuss over nothing.
Aren't you upset about that?
Don't be a show off.
You living however you want
thanks to your rich parents is more pathetic.
I'm leaving now.
Eun-shil, wait!
If you jump, you'll be in big trouble with me!
Didn't you hear Mr. Chun?
If you jump, you'll be in big trouble!
Eun-shil!
No...
Eun-shil!
Mr. Chun!
Let's go.
And leave her alone?
Hey, you think she'd want to see us when she wakes up?
She'll be fine.
Cheers!
Mr. Kim!
Welcome aboard!
Mr. Kim.
It's not easy getting into our school.
No matter how much you bribe, there needs to be a position.
Yes, definitely.
It was extremely hard to open up that position.
In any case,
we owe it all to our beloved Mr. Cha.
Excuse me, but what if the gym teacher
did well on the test?
- Mr. Kim! - What?
You worry too much.
Flop. He's lucky to even get half right.
That's right.
Wait a minute.
They should be done grading the tests.
Mr. Cha, how about we find out his score?
Shall we?
Hello, Mr. Oh.
I was just wondering what Mr. Chun 's score was.
Yes, that's right.
What?
Eighty five?
Mom, take it easy!
Stop overreacting.
Why did you hurt your back?
It's not like you'd use it anyway.
Why wouldn't l?
You'll need to use your back
for your wife later so be careful!
What's there to show off?
All you have is this healthy body.
I got you.
Where's my suit?
Why?
Going on a blind date?
No.
- You nuisance. - There should be a dress shirt somewhere.
What a faker.
He gets up in a jiffy.
I know you all call me alien...
No, "The Dumb E.T.".
But from now on,
I will be your great English teacher for your English 2 class.
Is it awkward?
- Yes. - Yes.
Forget about who I was in the past.
Now I will be your new English teacher,
got it?
Now, please hand this out.
Mr. Chun.
Yes?
You're going to teach with this?
It's too easy. It's not like we're freshmen.
Your English 1 teacher, Mr. Cha,
goes more in depth with the text.
This class covers real test questions.
It's not hard, but it'll be good to start with the basics.
We don't have time for basics.
The college entrance exam is more important.
So can't you teach us with this book?
Right! Just like that.
Now settle down!
I know you all know it already,
but let's start with the basics again.
He's implying that we don 't know the basics.
Mr. Chun, I'll just sleep.
We'll just study on our own.
Looks like Song-yi's notes.
Silence!
Let's take a look at page one.
Those who have the basics down can study on their own, right?
Silence!
You all ought to learn what respect is first.
Everyone to the track.
One! Two!
One! Two! One! Two!
One! Two!
Follow my command! One! Two!
One! Two!
Get moving in the front!
Ki-ho! Hurry up!
One! Two!
One! Two! One! Two!
Hey!
What are you all doing?
This is an English class!
That's right!
Who told you all to stop!
Look here, Mr. Chun!
This is my class! Do not interfere!
Are we in the army?
You are abusing your rights as a teacher!
You are the one who's abusing a teacher's rights right now!
Why are they fighting? Isn 't that E.T.?
Go back to class!
Now!
You run if he tells you to, idiots!
Go back inside now!
E.T. says, " I'm your English teacher
from now on, got it?" I thought I'd die laughing.
He's so funny.
After saying "one, two, one, two" in the gym all the time,
he thinks he can speak English that easily?
Yeah, with that big head of his.
What's wrong?
I don't like the way you talk.
Thanks.
For what?
If it hadn't been for you, I would 've caused a big accident.
Come on and hit me. It's okay.
What's wrong with your punch? It's weak, boy.
What's wrong with you?
Coach, you'll get hurt.
He says I'll get hurt.
Coach!
Coach, are you okay?
I'm okay, boy.
The great Chun Sung-geun is all washed up now.
I'm not the one who's washed up. He's strong, I'll acknowledge it.
Open your eyes as I count to three.
Open your eyes!
Tighten your stomach!
Go easy, will you?
I'm going to send Jung-koo to the national competition.
I think his punch has what it takes.
Shall we just send him to the pros?
I thought you were sending him to college.
No, I'm just talking nonsense.
Pretend that you didn't hear me.
Oh no! I'm late!
How could you do that?
What about the beef you promised?
With all the protests against importing beef, are you crazy?
I'll be going, okay Jung-koo?
Be careful on the way.
Okay, you do your best!
Mr. Chun?
While you pause, think about the next step.
You pause here and then here!
Go ahead and drink it.
What is it?
It's good for you, so drink.
You seemed to be studying hard back there.
You saw me?
Man, I would've failed that test if you hadn't given me your notes.
I get a headache when I think about teaching you
all English from now on.
Plus, I also wanted to see how tutors teach these days.
Don't worry so much.
Who learns at school lately anyway?
Coach, that's not what I meant.
You make them run on the track because they ig nore you in class?
You think we're in the army?
Whose idea was it to have
a gym teacher teach English?
Mr. Chun is a Iicensed teacher
with an English teaching certificate.
Then why was he teaching that useless gym class?
"Useless gym class"?
Please let the school be responsible for teaching the students.
So please go back home.
If you wait a little more...
Do you think we have time to spare, Principal Joo?
These kids will be seniors soon!
Shouldn't you have some alternative plan in mind?
Well...
I will quit!
Mr. Chun!
If I'm not fit to be a teacher,
then for the sake of the kids future it's right for me to leave.
But I'd like for you all to know one thing.
This is a school and not some college prep institute.
Mr. Chun.
Hey, man!
Does that tea go down easily, Mr. Cha?
You can't quit like this.
To be honest, it was hard on me.
It's not like I can master English in a day or two.
And I felt embarrassed in front of the kids.
If you give up like this, all our teachers will be laughed at.
And it won't be good for the kids education.
I'd like for you to show that you're a great teacher.
What's a great teacher?
Sending a lot of kids to a good university?
Sending them to good universities
is being a good principal.
Please give up on me.
I'd never hate you for firing me.
Ever seen a parent give up on his child?
The same goes for a teacher.
I can never give up on you
because you are my student.
We decided to have an open class in a week.
Show them that you have what it takes
to be an English teacher.
No, I can't do it.
Then do the open class and quit.
Otherwise, I'll never see you again.
Mr. Joo...
I said I'll never see you again!
- Mr. Joo! - I said I'll never see you again!
You know that I mean it!
I know.
Then it's settled.
I won't see you, either.
Attention!
Everyone, attention!
Heard that Mr. Chun is going to have the open class, right?
He could get fired because of this.
Let's help him out.
I'd like for those who are confident about English to stay
after class.
The best three of our school are all here.
The best of the bottom!
The second best.
The third best.
Honestly, none of you are of any help.
Then what can we do?
Coach!
Coach, wake up.
Hurry and wash up.
Your bag.
What are you doing here so early?
I was studying English.
Where are you going?
You'll find out.
But...
So how do you know her?
I met her when I was studying English in Canada.
But we don't need to go this far.
I bet half of our school went abroad to study English.
It's not like I can't trust you.
But you shouldn't be humiliated.
Right, I shouldn't.
Okey.
hi!
song!
hi
oh! Iong time no see
how do you doing?
i'm fine and miss lulu?
oh! i'm fine good
Iulu, this is my teacher Mr.chun
nice to meet you Mr. chun how are you?
fine thank you and you?
i'm good thank you
you so beautiful!
what's your hobby?
you!
fantastic
oh my god!
today's english.
there is no substitute for hard work.
"There is no substitute for hard work."
"Thomas Edison, an American inventor."
Oh, good...
No good.
big enough.
I'm sorry.
Today we will learn how to use the preposition, "to".
Today's my first day, so I was just joking.
Yes, the preposition, "to".
Why?
That was also a joke.
Mr. Chun.
Do you know how to spell joke?
Of course.
j..o.. k..e
Then do you know how to spell "spell "?
Of course I do.
Go figure.
That's all you're cracked up to be.
Cursing in class in front of the students.
"Damn"?
You don't have the right to be a teacher!
No! Give me one more chance!
I want to be a teacher!
No.
My nose is bleeding.
Good thing it's not both nostrils.
Some gym teacher is having an open English class.
Y es,
Yes, I'm here at the school now.
Coach!
Song-yi, come inside.
i can do it, yes i can!
Settle down.
In the third line of the second paragraph on page 117
there is the sentence,
The first step is the hardest!
Yes, the first step
is always the hardest.
With this precious sentence
we will start today's open class.
Open your books to page 123.
We will start from the first sentence.
Growing as a person may take you to new places
and present new challenges.
Growing as a person
Th is refers to the matu ri ng
process of a person.
This is the subject.
may take you to new places and present new chal lenges.
Where are you going?
"To new places. "
And what are you presented? "New challenges".
The "present" here doesn't mean a gift.
You can use it as a noun or a verb.
We are using it as a verb in this sentence.
Used as what?
Yes, as a verb.
This part is very important.
These may be stressful!
These things could stress me out.
Yes, matters that could be
difficult and stressful for me.
but! Feeling stress is a natural.
Necessary part of recognizing
a weakness and trying out a new behavior.
But this stress makes us
aware of our weaknesses,
that it is natural and necessary
for us to try out new things.
What needs to be drawn from this sentence?
Verb, subject?
Adjective, derivative,
intransitive verb?
No, that's anachronistic.
Grammar isn't important here.
What's important is to realize what this sentence means.
A problem like this can be explained with an example.
Who'd find the sentence I mentioned to be most truthful?
Answer 1, the president.
Answer 2, a rich doctor.
Answer 3, our Principal Joo who is married to the Director General.
Answer 4, a gym teacher taking on the challenge to teach English.
What's the right answer?
Number four!
Yes, a challenge is always beautiful!
Yes!
A challenge is beautiful. Don't you all think so?
Let's look at the next page. Page 124.
In regards to listening...
- Mr. Chun! - Yes?
Can I ask a question?
Of course you can.
A sudden, bold, and unexpected question
doth many times surprise a man and lay him open.
I saw this in an exercise book.
But I can't figure out what it means.
Especially, the word "doth ".
But that's not in the text...
It's in the bathroom...
Bathroom?
Bathroom...
doth... many time...
doth...
" Doth, a third person form of... "
A sudden!
bold, and unexpected question
doth many times surprise a man and lay him open.
An unpredictable question
unsettles a person and
makes him see his true self.
This is a famous quote by Francis Bacon.
Why can't this student
interpret this sentence?
It's because of "doth".
Doth is the Old English form of the verb 'to do' in the third person.
Now did that help?
If you have any questions, just ask me!
I'll answer them for you!
Next...
What was that about?
That's right. It's about a new English teacher.
If you all didn't understand, that's okay.
You only need to know two things.
New english teacher!
It's about a new English teacher.
Don't judge by his appearance.
You wanted an English teacher, but the appearance wasn't right.
See what he's made of
and don't judge by his appearance.
Isn't that what it's suggesting?
Don't think that a gym teacher can't teach English.
Understanding is the core of English.
Until our students can seduce someone by speaking English,
I will continue to teach English!
You're the best!
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Director General!
Director General,
that was a big hoax.
Is an English teacher some salesman?
He was bad and superficial.
That's a good way to put it, superficial.
Honey.
You are very superficial.
It would be a good idea for us not to see each other at school.
You can do that for me, right?
That doesn 't mean that we are going to fire you.
It simply means that we don 't want to see you.
You have any questions? Lost for words?
Honey, wait for me.
Honey, let's go together.
I told you not to call me
honey at school.
At a high school in Gangnam...
Mom, it's me.
Y es, it's playing now. I'll be on soon.
Make sure you watch every bit of it.
It's great, isn't it?
Mom, your son is the best!
We will see whether a gym teacher
can become an English teacher...
You should be proud of having a friend Iike me.
I'm not a gym person anymore. Now I am...
It's me! That's me on TV!
Come on!
I could be scouted after becoming
a famous EngIish teacher.
If I become rich, I'm going
to give you a hair transplant.
I will continue to teach English!
Applaud, idiot!
You're pretty good.
Mastering English
with the mind of an athlete!
But not everybody was satisfied.
We've captured the honest opinions of the students.
He's a popular teacher,
but I wish he wasn't our English teacher.
Honestly, I'm worried.
AII the kids are having a fit over this.
We need a competent English teacher.
We need to get into a good college.
What we need is to get a higher score
on the college entrance exam.
He tries his best,
but he can't send us to college.
We need a competent English teacher.
The average English grades?
It'II definitely go down.
The students want a competent teacher
rather than a good teacher.
English is more urgent
than Iifie Iessons in our schools.
And disciplining students has
become a target of prosecution.
This is the reality of our schools
and a sad reflection of our education.
It' s my pink slip.
Sung-geun, do you have to do this?
You said you'd let me go after the open class.
You know I did it because I couldn't bear the idea of never seeing you.
I was just saying that.
How could I never see you?
I'll come see you whenever I miss you.
Sure, come see me any time. I'll buy a drink.
Sung-geun, stay strong, okay?
Sung-geun, stay strong.
Mr. Chun.
Hi, Eun-shil.
I'm sorry.
Eun-shil will be a good student from now on.
Y es.
Class has already started so hurry.
He's your homeroom teacher?
Yes.
He looks just like a regular customer of mine.
He came almost every day.
- Song-yi! - Y es.
Now I see why your grades have been going down.
Get your act straight.
You need to concentrate in class if you want to go to law school.
Attention!
Yes, sir.
I'll be watching you.
Everyone, what is our motto?
Study hard and play hard!
Baek Jung-koo is getting hit too often
at the start of the first round.
It could become dangerous for him.
Kim Myung-duk is doing very well,
as an experienced boxer.
Seems Iike he's adding up points with each round.
That's it!
I hope that Baek Jung-koo isn't waiting
to make the big punch to win.
Guards up!
Attack!
Baek Jung-koo has slipped slightly.
They're counting as a slip by Baek
and not as a knock out.
Box!
The match is continuing.
Baek Jung-koo Iooks to be going in
for an attack.
That's it!
Left! Right!
Turn around! Do it now!
That's the end of round one.
Round two has started.
Kim Myung-duk easily dodges
a right hook by Baek Jung-koo.
I wonder what will happen in round two.
Baek Jung-koo is going stronger in round two.
Left! Right! Left! Right!
They seem to be fighting much better than round one.
That's right.
Both of them are battling it out.
It's an intense match,
with two competitive boxers.
Baek Jung-koo is driving hard in round two.
Right! Right! Left! Right! Right! Left!
Kim Myung-duk is being cornered.
The bell for round two has sounded.
Kim Myung-duk Iooked weak.
Yes,
Baek Jung-koo was great in round two.
Good work. Keep your guards up.
You can win.
He's looking to make the big punch.
Keep your guards up.
Hit him and step back fast.
Jung-koo, you can do it!
Hello?
Mr. Chun, we're here!
What?
We're in the stadium!
Where?
Over here!
Where?
Over here, Mr. Chun!
Song-yi!
Song-yi and Eun-shil are here.
Go Baek Jung-koo!
We love you, Mr. Chun!
Jung-koo, you said you like Eun-shil, right?
I'll confess to her for you
if you win this match, okay?
Okay!
You can get hurt if you exercise suddenly.
Be careful.
Okay, mom.
Baek Jung-koo is forcing him to the corner.
Punches to the abdomen.
Keep hitting him!
Baek Jung-koo! Baek Jung-koo!
Both boxers are Iooking for a way
to beat his opponent.
Change positions!
Baek Jung-koo has him in the corner.
He keeps driving in on him.
Wasn't that a foul?
The referee didn't see it.
He couldn't catch him.
I'm worried about Baek Jung-koo's eye.
I think it's slightly bleeding.
Jung-koo, just hit him!
This is a foul that boxers
tend to make often...
His stance isn't firm.
I think his eye is damaged.
His Iegs Iook very weak.
I won d er if Baek J u ng-koo will overcome this.
Put your guards up!
Ki m Myung-duk is making h is attack.
Baek tries to duck the punches by crunching.
The referee has broken them up
and has resumed the match.
Down! Baek Jung-koo is down!
Baek Jung-koo goes down in this round!
Will he get up?
He's back on his feet.
Baek Jung-koo went down
from a strong right hook.
Jung-koo, pull yourself together! Put up your guards!
Jung-koo!
Get up, boy!
Jung-koo, stay strong!
Baek Jung-koo goes down!
Will he get up this time?
Jung-koo, please get up! Get up now!
Jung-koo, get up!
You can't get a silver medal!
Jung-koo, get up!
Jung-koo, wake up!
Get up, boy!
If you don't get up, I'll never see you again.
You know I mean it, when I say I won't see you again.
So please get up!
Jung-koo, get up!
I will never see you again.
Mr. Joo...
I said I won't see you again.
Mr. Joo...
I'll never see you again.
You know that I mean it.
Baek Jung-koo is back on his feet!
Jung-koo, stay strong!
it doesn't Iook so good for him.
It doesn't look easy with that eye injury.
Baek Jung-koo doesn't look good.
He's starting to make some punches.
Left! Right!
Baek Jung-koo is still in the game.
Jung-koo, left!
Right!
Go back!
Jung-koo, right hook!
Down!
Baek Jung-koo makes a remarkable comeback!
Seven! Eight! Nine!
Ten! The match is over!
Baek Jung-koo has won
the amateur boxing championship!
Baek Jung-koo! Baek Jung-koo!
Coach!
I'm proud of you, my boy!
Great job,
Great job, my boy...
We love you, Mr. Chun!
Six years Iater
How may I help you?
Hello.
Miss Han, hello.
She's our new teacher.
Welcome!
You should've become a lawyer,
since you graduated from law school.
Yes.
I heard you scored top on the national teacher's exam.
Yes.
But why come teach in the countryside?
Your subject is English, right?
Yes.
What a relief.
We have the worst GPA in this region.
But we're great in English.
Really?
The previous English teacher must've been amazing.
No, not because of our English teacher.
It's our gym teacher.
His English is awesome.
Pardon?
A strong and healthy body is...
The power of the country!
A strong and healthy body is...
The power of the country!
Attention!
Turn to the left!
Let's rock and roll!
