Give me the ball!
Which university?
United States.
Don't be sad, Jeong Eok Hyeon.
Even if you can't get into U.S. universities, you can always continue your studies in local universities.
In the first place, it's difficult to get in. The curriculums are completely different.
This is unfair.
Me...why?
Where did I fail to do well to be rejected?
The assessment method used by Brown is very special.
That's why it's like this. Stop crying.
This is unfair. Unfair.
My GPA is among the top. I scored full marks on the SAT.
My essay is also very well-written and moves people's hearts. The same goes for the extra question.
Which area did I not meet the cut? Why am I being rejected?
Hey, Jeong Eok Hyeon. If you want to cry, go ahead and cry.
You guys don't have to comfort her.
Harvard, Dartmouth, Yale, Colombia, Princeton, she qualifies to enter all of them.
She only fails to get into Brown, and she's making a big deal out of it.
But the one I wanted to get into the most is Brown.
That...I passed all. Why not Brown?
Shut up.
Let's go.
After lunch, there will still be training. There's only a few days left until the performance.
I'm not eating lunch.
Why?
Isn't there still the AP exam?
Of course I must study for it.
She sure is something...
Hi!
Great!
Wow!
They all went up. How come only Eok Hyeon noona is able to do it?
Did you get insider's news from someone?
What's the total worth now, Eok Hyeon eonni?
Wow!
Eok Hyeon noona, didn't you say that yours is not a simulated investment?
It's real investment?
Don't ask too much. You'll get hurt.
It seems that she's playing with real money.
Any body know why?
She applied to several foreign universities.
She needs to prepare for the tuition fees.
Why must she prepare for it herself? How about her parents?
Yeah, that's right.
Why is she always running?
She says she will be dizzy if she doesn't run.
If she walks slowly...
everything she sees will be stored in her brain.
Her brain will burst.
If she runs, she won't be able to see them clearly.
She can remember everything she sees?
You didn't know?
Her nickname is Human Body Memory.
She can remember everything clearly, no matter how long ago.
They are stored in her brain like photos.
Done.
Teacher. I really didn't run.
There's no sound at all. Very quiet.
Teacher. I really didn't run.
Can you please help me with a calculation?
Yes, Teacher. Aren't these last month's mock exam results?
The school's computer network suddenly went down and it's under repair now.
Hurry. Average score.
79.8
Okay. Other teachers may also look for you to calculate the average scores for them.
You better hide yourself.
All right, Teacher. Talking about hiding, I have a good place.
There's someone called Ryu Sang Suk. She's your mother's friend, you know her?
Sang Suk ajumma. Teacher, how do you know Sang Suk ajumma?
She called to look for you. I asked her to call back in 5 minutes.
My office number.
Be careful.
Ajumma, is that you? Really?
Are you sure that man is there, ajumma?
Gyeong Do, your mother's getting better?
Yes. She's better. Are you doing all right?
Gyeong Do, I want one packet of fried noodles.
Yes. I'll deliver it to you after I'm done with this delivery.
I want Jajangmyeon.
Yes ma'am!
Jajangmyeon is here! Jajangmyeon is here!
Helllo? What? Are you definitely sure?
That bastard Jo Pal Bok appears in Cheongju?
Watch him for me. I'll be there in 20 minutes.
Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello?
Battery, battery, battery!
Jo Pal Bok! Jo Pal Bok! Jo Pal Bok!
Jo Pal Bok, from now on, today's date will be your death anniversary.
Every year, this day will be your death anniversary.
Deliver the noodles before you go.
Just gonna leave like that?
Hello? Nurse Pak? I'm patient Seo Gir Yeon's son.
Seo Gir Yeon, Seo Gir Yeon. Um, what's wrong with your ear?
Not "a bad woman" (sounds similar). Seo Gir Yeon, Seo Gir Yeon.
Please get ready for my mother's surgery immediately.
I'll bring the money for the surgery in 15 minutes.
Ahjussi, ahjussi. You can't act so unreasonably.
Being an adult, how can you do this?
Hey, little girl. It's been 2 hours already. Why are you still here?
Any evidence? Do you have any evidence to prove that I borrowed from your mother?
If you do, take it out. If I had borrowed, there should be an IOU.
You don't even have an IOU, how can you claim that I owe you money?
Ahjussi.
You're too young to understand.
If you don't have the IOU, it's useless whether it's 100 million or 1 billion Won.
You said your mother's dead already. I don't even know you.
Who is your mother?
Jo Pal Bok!
Jo Pal Bok? Your mother's name is Jo Pal Bok?
I'm Jo Pal Bok!
This little kid. Are you muddle-headed? You can't even recognize people.
Jo Pal Bok, 6009301059711.
September 17th, 1998. Saturday, 1:10PM.
During the telecast of the Olympic Games' Opening Ceremony, you came to my house.
You said there were many imported prawns from China being detained by customs at Incheon dock.
If you were to give the customs 10 million Won,
those prawns would be released to us.
The entire container could be sold to the wholesaler.
There would be millions of Wons that could fill apple crates to the brim.
That was how you cheated my mother.
- Hey, hey! Student. If you like to create stories, do it at home. - My mother withdrew 5 million Won from the bank,
and used everything in the store as guarantee
to borrow another 5 million Won, and gave you a total of 10 million Won.
That day, you were wearing a red shirt and white pants.
You wore a black jacket on the outside, and had a bag dangling on your hand.
You had more hair back then than now.
During this period of time, you also got more wrinkles on your forehead, right?
You're alone? There's still someone inside.
Gyeong Do, if you get your money back, remember you promised to lend me 500,000 Won.
I originally wanted to return her 10 times more. I didn't deliberately set out to cheat your mother.
But why didn't you pay her back?
It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't have the ability to pay her back.
What do you mean by you don't have the ability to pay her back? It's just 50 million Won.
What? 50 million Won? How did 10 million Won become 50 million Won?
You little kid, how can you make fun of an adult?
So it wasn't 50 million Won, but you indeed borrowed 10 million Won?
Of course it's only 10 million Won.
What's this?
So it wasn't 50 million Won, but you indeed borrowed 10 million Won?
Of course it's only 10 million Won.
I have a recorded IOU.
Why are you hitting people?
How dare a little kid be so obsessed about money. Get lost!
Where are you going? You can't leave!
Give me back the money! Give me back my mother's money!
You're still trying even harder!
Money! Give me back the money!
Let go of me!
- Money! Give me back the money! - Let go!
Jo Pal Bok! You bastard!
My mother is now in the OR with her stomach opened and waiting.
Give me back my 10 million Won now!
First...first...first put down the sickle.
Coming into the house with a sickle, this fellow is quite cruel.
Here's just 10 million Won. This is everything I have.
Whether you want to split it between you two, or you want to snatch it. It's up to you.
I have something urgent to do. I'll go first.
I'll go first to settle my thing. We can talk later after I return.
What's this, ahjussi?! You should hand him over to the police first.
Jo Pal, Jo Pal...
Jo Pal Bok, this scoundrel. Stop there!
Get out of the way. Get out of the way.
Brat! You better stop running.
Damn it!
What?
Let me pass
Stop there!
Jo Pal Bok.
A...ahjussi.
You...
I'm asking you.
Ajussi. Please.
This money...
Did you see Jo Pal Bok?
Pardon?
He ran towards this direction. Didn't you see him?
That bastard!
If I catch him, I'll certainly chop off his waist.
Chop it off!
Wait a sec...
Little kid.
Where did your clothes come from?
My school uniform.
I don't care about your school uniform.
- Money...Money - What?
Money. The money that Jo Pal Bok left there...
He put the money there.
If you also come out to catch that fellow, what will happen to that money?
Cheongju is not like the past.
Hurry go back and guard the money.
I'll go and capture back that fellow Jo Pal Bok.
Hurry go back. Hurry go back. Look after it.
Hurry! Hurry!
Jo Pal Bok
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
These money are very important to me.
I came first.
I'll take away first.
Mother.
Mother!
Wrong. Wrong.
Wrong.
This cannot happen.
Impossible.
Starts again.
Wrong. This is a lie. Impossible.
Wrong.
Jeong Eok Hyeon.
I'm really going crazy.
I have the habit to talk in my sleep.
Beat me up and I'll behave myself.
If you don't beat me, I'll continue to talk in my sleep.
Beat me. Best me hard.
Enough. Are you done with it?
Jeong Eok Hyeon. You're courting death?
Sorry.
I'm talking in my sleep again.
Fortunately I have a good temper.
Otherwise, when school reopens, I'll demand for a change in roommate.
Are you sleeping?
My God. Please let her be more normal.
When did you come back?
The dormitory should have been locked. How did you enter?
You went out without permission. The teacher already found out.
She even wants to send you to the student's disciplinary committee hearing.
The punishment will very serious for this matter.
It may even affect your graduation.
Where exactly did you go?
Hey...
Has the overseas scholarship selection assessment in your father's company completed?
Why?
Nothing. Nothing particular.
Nothing major.
I mean has the assessment ended?
Should have been ended. What's wrong?
Don't you already have a scholarship?
Why? They withdrew it?
No. It's not that. But...
Nothing. Nothing. I'm only asking.
I'll go and wash up.
Just one semester.
Although that possibility is very small,
there is no other way. Please help me just this once.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Eh?
What's wrong?
This ajumma. The shop is closed. Where did she go?
Mom?
Mother, you are inside here. Why did you close the door?
So hot!
Don't you feel hot?
Not really hot.
Mother. Aren't you happy seeing me?
You have not seen me for a few months? Don't you feel happy?
Why are you back home?
Why am I back home? It's school holiday.
Oh, school holiday...
This ahjumma, what's wrong with you?
Has something happened?
What can happen?
Surely something must have happened.
Right? What is it?
Don't have. What can happen?
Nothing whatsoever.
You're lying.
I didn't lie.
You're lying.
No.
Yes.
Have my little girl grown taller?
Seems like you have grown taller by 5cm.
How is school's life? How is living in a dormitory feels?
Are all the lessons conducted in english?
Can you adapt?
How will I not able?
What do you treat me as?
This.
First?
Of course.
Who do I resemble? I'm such a genius.
Your father.
What?
Because you're like your father so you're a genius.
Who is father?
Father?
Do I also have a father? Mother.
Didn't you say I was adopted?
In future if...
In case...
What is this?
Your father.
This grandfather is my father...
What father? He looks so sloppy.
How come you talk so unpleasantly?
Don't joke around. Who is this person exactly?
You have such a photographic memory
because you take after this person
In your secondary school, you were able to get the full sponsorship to enter into this current school
Professor.
It's also because you inherit this person's brain.
Jeong Eok Hyeon. If...
If...
Although such a thing won't happen...
If you really have no choice,
beg him to help just once.
Don't ask for more. Just once.
In the future, if you are accepted into Harvard or Stanford,
if mother goes somewhere or is not around,
you don't have tuition fees. If this is the case,
this person may not be wealthy
he seems to be poor,
get him to help you pay first semester's tuition fees.
Since he's your father, this little help that you request, he should be able to accede.
You are talented. With one semester's tuition fees paid for,
you will be able to settle the rest on your own.
Right?
Mom...
Are you trying to change your destiny?
What?
You want to discard me and marry someone else, is it?
Did that man forbid you to bring me over?
Aigoo.
Isn't it so?
You...
Aigoo!
I really have nothing to say.
I'm extremely thirsty.
I like to eat watermelon. Any watermelon?
You came back so sudden, how will there be watermelon at home?
Buy for me.
Hurry up. I'm dying to eat it.
Alright... Alright...
I like the smell of paper.
The smell of books is great.
So you read quickly.
Examination is around the corner.
I want to smell the scent of books.
Don't want. This is frustrating.
Your daughter is really really bad.
They are all in English. You cannot understand.
You just read aloud to me.
I like to listen to you reading English.
That's really...
Is it because your English pronunciation is poor that's why you are refusing to do it?
My daughter is really really great.
Really great.
How did I give birth to such a great daughter?
Why are you crying? Don't cry. Read properly.
This is a tragedy storybook.
You don't even know.
Student.
Mother. Mother.
Mother, what have you done for me? How can you just leave like this?
Have you given me beautiful clothes or made delicious food for me to eat?
Because mother, you were not well, I have to take care of myself.
Mother, what have you given me?
I spent my hard-earned money,
every cent of it, to pay my mother's medical treatment.
You should have recovered and be healthy.
Mother! Mother!
How can you just leave like this?
You have no conscience.
Mother, did I treat you badly?
I gave up on my studies and worked in the sawing factory so that you can rest on hot kiln.
Rotten brat. Did you give up studies to earn money?
You went to work in the factory because you were expelled from school.
And also your family's kiln is using coal.
When was wood used?
Mother, bring this fellow along when you leave.
Mother! Mother!
Mother. What mistake did I make?
If I have, tell me. Mother.
I already said no operation.
Mother, you insist to undergo operation.
I put in so much efforts to let you underwent operation.
But that female student...
Close the coffin lid.
That girl
That girl...where is she?
Although I don't know whether she is a secondary school's or high school's student,
she did not come from Yeon Byeon.
Go and check which school the female students wear Hanbok-like uniforms.
Seon Yeong.
I am against that plan.
Hey. This is the moment to display your friendship.
You are asking me to lie to our teacher.
My conscience absolutely...
agree.
Seon Yeong.
But there's a condition.
My friendship is not without condition attached. I'm very sorry.
Right, right. Yeon Byeon's physical education uniform.
I'm not asking to sleep with him.
Step aside. Go.
How come they all look the same?
So I leave it to you, my friend.
I'm also relying on you, my friend.
Bye-bye.
Mmm...
Cannot. Jeong Eok Hyeon left here without permission previously. She cannot be granted leave.
Teacher, do you know where Eok Hyeon went?
She said she suddenly thought of her mother.
Because her mother passed away, she has been very sad all this while.
She has not been to her mother's tomb for a long time.
She couldn't restrain her emotions.
But then she should still request for official leave.
After all I am Eok Hyeon's best friend.
Throwing her down here and going home myself
I will be sad. Teacher.
What did you say?
Will you be going home today?
Yes. Why?
Your home is in Seoul, right?
Yes.
Seon Yeong also lives in Seoul.
Yes, I know.
Seon Yeong's family will be sending a private chauffeur to fetch her. Let's go together.
I bought the train ticket.
Hey, you can cancel that, isn't it?
Let's go together. Return to each other's homes.
Tomorrow, let's have lunch and watch movie together.
Come on. Seon Yeong is really a very nice girl.
She's beautiful, rich and intelligent.
What is lacking in Seon Yeong?
Do you know what I mean?
Jeong Eok Hyeon.
Yes, Pak Su Chang.
Don't be like this.
Don't say those words to me. Understand?
Pak Su Chang, Pak Su Chang.
This is very important to me. Please help.
I want to go out with Seon Yeong.
Accompany me on the journey back here.
On Sunday, come along with me on the journey back to school.
Take public transport.
Just the two of us.
I never heard anything. I heard nothing.
This is too scary. I don't know. I don't know.
Are you charmed by me?
Don't be charmed by me. Otherwise, you will die in my hands.
My gosh. You will ready die.
Hey. Why are you laughing?
Why are you laughing like it's so normal?
I hate love triangle.
Although you are a bit handsome,
you cannot break the friendship between Seon Yeong and me.
Hey! Watch out!
You're really incurable. Jeong Eok Hyeon.
What are you doing?
Cancel the ticket. Will fetch us directly to Seoul's train station, is that so?
See you later.
This kid.
Pak Su Chang.
Taking a closer look, he does look quite handsome.
So nervous.
Let go. I am here to catch a swindler.
You need to seek permission before paying a school visit.
Put in your request first before coming back.
Which country's law is this? A school that disallows school visit. Which country's law is this?
Su Chang, you leave first with Seon Yeong.
I'll take public transport. Understand? Leave first.
Hey... Hey...
Don't you know you aren't allowed into the school?
I'm standing outside.
What are you looking?
Stand over there.
Taxi uncle, send me to the bus stop.
Can you lend me 700 000 Won?
What's the use of you accompany me here? You did not help at all.
You fellow. You go back on your words.
Didn't you say as long as I gave you the address of the school with Yeon Byeon uniform,
you would lend me 700 000 Won?
I can only lend you after I get back the 10 million Won from the girl.
Where do I get 700 000 Won?
Even if the ground is covered with cabbage and ten thousands Won notes,
you think I won't be able to differentiate between cabbage and money?
You do not know that a money note is three corners or four corners?
You scoundrel. For 700 000 Won,
are you going to break off your friendship with me?
That little girl cheat studies in a school for geniuses.
She used genius way taught by the school to cheat your money.
How can you cheat me?
How did the Earth rotates itself?
That school teaches students to cheat.
The swindlers in this world are all intelligent.
She must be facing some difficulty.
There must be a reason why she attends this type of school.
What sort of difficulty?
Are you currently being appointed as the leader of the scam group?
It's a pretty good school.
The students are good too.
The classrooms are also big.
Their parents will dance for their children everyday.
Will my mother dance for me too?
Don't have, right?
There must be a reason behind her action.
Kids who attend that type of school, what will they be lacking of?
Mom!
Jo Pal Bok, you scoundrel.
My mother is waiting in the OR with her stomach opens waiting for it.
Return my 10 million Won now.
The bus heading towards Seoul is about to set off.
Seoul? Not Cheongju?
I'm going to Cheongju. This is going to Seoul.
Hey, you. This isn't going to Cheongju.
Looks like our fate will end here.
Hurry up! What are you doing? Quick.
Aren't you going to Cheongju?
Hurry up, give it to me. The bus is leaving.
Get out of the bus quickly. You brat.
Enjoy yourself.
I have to go.
Su Chang, turn over.
Turn over.
Pretty suitable.
What's this?
I really need to go.
You both have a good time. Understand?
Seon Yeong, see you tomorrow.
Hey!
What's left to play?
How about merry-go-round?
Okay.
Tell me where did I go wrong. I'll amend it.
Chapter 1 of main paper from pages 31 to 39.
There are four paragraphs lifted but yet without indicating the sources.
The entire Chapter 2 is taken off from Texas State University Professor Team's
1992 voided data originated from the 1985 research. Using such rubbish data as basis.
In Chapter 3, plagiarize the data that I had published...
There are more to go. But I don't have time. I'll stop here.
Please leave.
This is crazy. Can't even produce anything.
Because I feel that you have something important to attend to so I have been waiting here.
Who are you?
Jeong Eok Hyeon.
Who is that?
I do not know how to begin telling you. I'll begin like this.
I'm the daughter of Professor Choe Guk and my mother.
DNA. It'll be the same.
Please contact me when the test result is out.
I have something that I must say to you.
Jeong Ju Gyeom.
You may not have remembered,
but she is my mother.
Hey...
Jeong Ju Gyeom
Yes.
Do you know her?
You say Jeong Ju Gyeom is your mother.
Yes.
You're saying you are her daughter?
Yes. That's correct.
You don't know about my existence.
So you can't imagine that I have grown so old.
So I always pretend I didn't know about it and live my life. I don't have any regret.
But I have a strong reason that made me come and find you.
After the test result is out, please contact me.
See you again.
I won't go for the test. I won't do such a silly thing.
Try doing this.
You can't do it?
How's this, Professor?
General zoology. Diagnosis experimental theory on zoology
Soil fauna research.
Biology 1. Biology 2.
Veterinary Microbiology. Veterinary Medicine.
Do I have to go on?
I can recite everything.
You call me to stop, I will stop.
This will do.
For I to come here
is more difficult than what you can imagine.
So I won't leave just like this.
So now, I'll leave after I say the key points.
I'm going to university in summer. To United States.
Originally I'm able to get company sponsorship.
But because I change my specialization, I can't get a scholarship.
Because that company only sponsor tuition fees to students who learn top-notched science specialization.
So you plan to use my name.
I invested my mother's remaining 4 million Won bank savings
and roughly it's now 5 million Won.
I'm not sure how much I can earn before university enrollment.
But obviously it won't be enough.
You just need to make up for the difference for my first semester.
I am not asking you to give me. I am borrowing from you.
I will surely return the money to you.
Before Mother passed away, she instructed me clearly
when it is really necessary, look for you to help me for one semester.
In order not for you to mistake us mother-daughter as extorting snakes,
I'll emphasize one more time.
I will surely return the money to you.
Even if it means my life.
Jeong Ju Gyeom passed away?
Pancreatic cancer.
Please contact me.
I'll unlimitedly wait for your call.
There are no other possibilities.
Please let me know quickly.
Hello.
I am bookstore's employee.
Professor, you left your bag in the bookstore.
I'm afraid the owner may be anxious about it, so I'm sorry I open your bag to take a look.
Because your identity card is in the bag.
See you again, professor.
Professor!
Omo!
You are too near to the stove.
You nearly get into trouble.
Even if you really immerse yourself into learning,
you are not worried over this?
This smoke is suffocating.
What to do?
Please! Don't talk anymore!
Please...Please. Please go.
Please! Please leave!
Forget it. You're doing well. Jeong Eok Hyeon.
Anyway, didn't you say you want to give it a try?
Well done. This is right.
Eok Hyeon.
Hello.
How come you are out?
I came out to settle some things. I still have to go back to school tomorrow.
I see.
Just nice. Because your bookstore is going to be sold,
I'm still thinking how to contact you.
To be sold?
Yes. Someone is buying over.
Is that so?
Are you reluctant to let go?
No. Anyway, not many people.
But...
If the bookstore moves, can we get the security deposit?
You have not been paying rent this period of time.
The security deposit is long gone.
But the landlord is nice, he didn't ask you to pay up.
Maybe he's thinking after he sold off the bookstore, he would use the royalties to net off.
Yes.
Before you go tomorrow,
pack up the necessary things before going back to school.
For the big luggages, I can safe keep for you in our office.
If you have, just leave behind and we will safe keep for you.
Mother. I'll forget this poverty-stricken period of my life.
I want to change to become another person.
Cool, outstanding, intelligent person.
A rich person who earns a lot of money.
Not simply a rich person.
To be a rich person like Warren Buffet.
I want to be come the top millionaire in the world.
Not only a rich person with money.
But a rich person who has depth and good upbringing.
A rich person who contributes to the society.
My daughter has always been a genius.
Harvard accepted her.
It won't do if there's no money.
Don't be mistaken. I'm not blaming mother.
Really, it's not like that.
Mother, what you can do, you already did it, isn't that so?
You gave born to such an intelligent me.
I grew up completely well and beautiful.
This is really very good.
Hey. You cannot lie down here.
You have been lying down here since just now.
Are you hit with a shock?
Someone please call 119.
Call 119.
- Wake up. Get up quickly. - Miss.
Hey...hey...
Are you all right?
Who is it?
You cannot lie down here.
You'll get into trouble.
Are you feeling unwell? Will you be fine?
My goodness! Am I crazy?
What's wrong with me? How did I suffer from sleep walking illness?
What is this?
Are you all right?
Isn't this place City Centre Hong Won Dong?
That's right.
Yes?
Am I going crazy?
Excuse me, may I know where's the toilet?
Over there.
Thank you.
What's this?
There is a breast feeding room over there.
What?
Going out from here, turn a corner, there's a breast feeding room.
Is it time to feed your baby?
What are you talking about?
About what?
Feed your baby.
Seems like it's flowing out.
Now, isn't it flowing...
What's this?
Ajumma.
Which year is this?
Year 2007.
Isn't it 1997?
Ajumma.
Why isn't your mother back yet?
She didn't bring the handphone with her.
Our child is dying of hunger.
Hurry up, say "Mother come home quickly."
Come home quickly.
