Episode 82
Alright!
What are you doing? Why Go Stop?
Since we're bored.
We taught Julien and he's really serious about this.
First, I'll take this.
Now give me a "pi," each of you.
You're really good at this.
Julien, it's your turn.
I put down the wrong card!
You can't take it back!
When I first saw Julien playing Go Stop,
he was no better than the Philippines or Maldives teams are at soccer.
Got it! Stop!
I have 3 points and a chodan,
so each of you give me 1,200 won. Oh, Julien, you have pibak, so it's 2,400 won for you.
Why are you eating now?
I woke up late.
I'll have a cup of water.
Are you having fun playing Go Stop? You've been playing all day.
Yes, it's fun, but I lost so much money.
Really? Is Jong Il taking all your money?
Yes, he's so good.
If I put something down, he takes that card right away.
Even the cards that Seung Yun puts down, he takes.
Seung Yun and I are pretty much coughing up everything for Jong Il.
Julien, I'm eating here. You can stop talking about that now.
Anyways, there's no way I can beat him.
You can't beat him?
Want me to give you a few pointers?
Me?
Professor Hong is going to retire next month.
You heard, right?
Yep, I heard.
His students are throwing him a party. Are you going?
Yep, I should.
- Excuse me. - Yes, what is it?
This is my number.
Call me if you're interested.
What just happened?
Seriously. She seems a bit crazy.
Looking back, my younger years were also filled with
women underestimating my attractiveness.
Damn them.
We'll start with the basics of Go Stop.
You gotta shuffle them quickly. Quickly.
And you keep going.
What kinds of ssangpi are there?
What kinds of bak are there?
pi bak, gwang bak, mung bak, dok bak!
Which of the options below does not get a pi?
Number 2!
One day during the years my attractiveness was underestimated,
my wife drove me crazy when she underestimated me.
You're home early.
What's with the king crab party?
Jin Hee's mom sent them.
Come and have some.
Your mom did, Jin Hee?
Come and have some.
Then should we eat first?
Sure, why not.
Then you can start eating first. I'm going to change.
You can sit here.
Have some.
Thank you.
This king crab is really delicious.
That sounds funny! (In Korean, "king crab" also sounds like "really.")
That woman always laughs at me.
I really really don't like her.
I heard you went on a blind date with the English teacher from Ha Sun's school.
What? Yes, well...
I heard it didn't go well.
I think you two would have been great together...
What? Great together?
This woman seriously...
Since we did the basics yesterday, today,
we'll go over some things to keep in mind when playing Go Stop.
Write it all down.
First.
Always be selective on the first turn.
- What does that mean? - Be picky.
Say that I'm holding a pi.
But a ddi comes out.
Should you take it or not?
Take it?
Unless you're going for a chungdan,
go for a ssangpi and wait.
Even if someone else takes it while you anticipate the ssangpi,
you can always get a better pi than the ddi.
Second.
Watch closely at what your opponent takes.
Why?
A person�s strategy is revealed in what they take the first couple turns.
If, at first,
I left the gwang and took the 10-point card instead,
then that means I'm definitely going for a godori.
Third.
The large points are always pi.
Yak or gwang are defensive moves.
What does that mean?
The most points to be earned in Go Stop are in pi.
You can definitely get points with yak or gwang,
but chances are you will not earn a lot of points with them.
Even if you do get points, you will not be able to go as you please,
and the game will end with you having below 10 points.
I wanted to teach Julien because
a Caucasian man revived soccer in Korea.
I wanted to be for Julien in Go Stop what Hiddink was for Korea in soccer.
You must really like crabs.
Well...
Speaking of which, isn't your zodiac sign cancer?
You work with cancer patients and your sign is cancer.
The crab represents Cancer and not Capricorn?
Cancer is correct.
You didn't even know that?
Is that so?
Oh yeah, Capricorn is the goat.
I got them mixed up.
How can you get a crab and a goat mixed up? That's freaking dumb!
You may be a doctor, but you're Uncle Stupid.
Dr. Lee is such a smart man. What do you mean Uncle Stupid?
Even Capricorn is pronounced capricorn and not how you said it.
I'm going to call you Uncle Stupid from now on.
Hey!
Call me what?
Stupid? Why am I stupid?
I graduated from med school. So if I'm stupid, then you're stupid times 100!
You dumb, ignorant, lousy high school girl!
Juk.
Are you done eating? Can I clear your plate?
What? Yeah, I'm done.
Uncle Stupid, don't just study people's butts. Brush up on your English too.
Soo Jung!
Don't mind her. She always says whatever's on her mind.
I understand she's just a kid. But other people might be offended by her.
My lord! One coaching session,
and his worthless Go Stop skills have become so good!
Mr. Ahn, you're like Hiddink.
I got it! I got it!
7, 8, 9, 10, 12 points! Stop!
And Seung Yun has pi bak!
Are you Dracula?
Why do you like pi so much? (pi: also means blood in Korean)
Play C.
C.
You're going home already, Uncle Stupid?
That little--
Have some tea.
Shall we? Juk, have some tea before you go.
I don't know...
Maybe I will.
The tea smells good.
- What kind of tea is it? - Quince tea.
We made it ourselves, so it has a nice smell.
It's Seung Yun's guitar.
Are you teaching Jong Suk to play the guitar?
You must play well.
No, I can play just a little bit.
Juk's really good at the guitar.
- Really? - Yes, really.
Weren't you in a band in college too?
What was the name of the band?
It was Lee Juk and something...
Lee Juk and the Bloody Affair.
Lee Juk and the Bloody Affair...
That's a fun name.
It was a rock band, so the name was a bit violent.
At this point someone needs to ask me to show off my guitar skills.
Then can you show us your skills?
No...
That's right. Just like that.
Play for us.
Oh my...it's been a while since I played...what should I play?
This is my chance! I will melt your hearts!
- Then just a little. - Uncle Stupid, you're still here?
That brat...
Seriously...Hey!
Don't you see that I'm singing?
I'm singing a sad song right now!
You should be crying, not laughing!
Why do you ignore me?
You slap my face, then introduce me to a weird woman!
Why do you do this to me? Why!
Why are you ignoring me! Why!
Why don't you finish the song?
Well...I'll just play up to here.
You're a really good singer. You have a nice voice too.
I really had tears in my eyes.
Are the only normal people in this house this lady and her?
Wasn't it really tear-jerking?
I'm not sure about that...
I think you know too well that you're a great singer.
It makes your technique flawless, which makes the song lack soul.
Ji Won!
Uncle Stupid has no soul!
Hey!
I have no soul? Is that all you have to say?
I am a person who keeps all his thoughts to himself!
What do you mean I have no soul?! I sometimes wonder if I have 2 souls!
And you say what?!
You're the one who looks like you have absolutely no soul!
Juk, are you done with the song already?
I thought I'd be able to hear you sing.
Sorry I got a call...
I'm not that good anyways.
Why not? You could be on "I'm a Singer"! (like a Korean version of American Idol)
You're the best! The best!
You don't have to say that.
She's the only normal one. Everyone else is rude and drives me insane!
I should get going.
- I have plans tonight. - You do?
- Do you need to get your shoes repaired? - Yes.
The shoe repair man is probably at the real estate office over there.
- Real estate? - Yes.
Shoe repair man--
Today's not my lucky day...
Did you come to get your shoes repaired?
- Wait just a bit. - Okay.
Can I play just 1 round?
- What? - I can play Go Stop a bit too.
Can I play 1 game with you?
We don't let anyone join our games here.
We've stopped accepting players today.
You can try coming back tomorrow.
What time?
What? You're going to play Go Stop with the men at the real estate office?
Yes, those men...
They were really the best of the best.
Of course! All they do is eat and play Go Stop.
Since I beat Jong Il, I want to try playing against them too.
My friend, you're no match for them.
Jong Il is at the Korean Soccer League level, and they're the World Cup!
I know that too.
So I really want to play with them.
Anyone playing Go Stop would want to try playing with them.
Even if I lose big time,
I wanna at least try. You know?
You must always remember.
First,
Don't let your opponents read your face.
If someone takes a card you need, don't let your face show it.
Pros like them will know what you have based on that one reaction.
And then they will not give you the card you need.
You must maintain a poker face to the end.
Second.
If things go wrong, put down your gwangs and give up.
When playing with pros, the most you'll get with the gwangs is 3 points.
And if you're not careful, you'll be vulnerable to pibak.
So it'll be more beneficial for you to put down all your gwangs.
Third.
Always remember if your opponent put down the card or flipped it.
If they put down the card and got the point, there's a motive.
If they flipped it and got the point, that's luck.
Then you'll be able to get a read on the opponent.
Now.
Let's put all that to the test.
Despite all that, there was no way for me to know
how well Julien might play against the pros.
Hello.
Is Gye Sang inside?
He's not here right now.
There was an emergency, so he went to make a house call.
Is that so?
Did you two have lunch plans?
We didn't have plans but...
That's fine. I'll come back next time.
Goodbye.
- Ummm... - Yes?
If you don't have plans, would you like to have lunch with me?
What? With me?
I don't really feel like eating alone.
Only if it's okay with you.
Will you be paying?
Sure. If you want, I will.
Then can you hold on a second?
She was the most sensible woman of Gye Sang's and his neighbors' homes.
Alright, let's play a round!
I'd like a mushroom and tomato spaghetti, please.
Why don't you order something from the prix fixe menu?
Their prix fixe lunch is nice.
It's too expensive...
It's okay. We'd like the prix fixe meal, please.
How would you like your steak?
Is medium okay for you?
Excuse me? Sure...
- Medium, please. - Okay.
I've never eaten at a place like this before!
I'd bet it'll be delicious!
Have you ever been told you look like a celebrity?
A celebrity?
I'm not sure...
You look like So Hee. The cute one from Wonder Girls.
Not the Wonder Girls...
You really look like her.
I'm very honored.
(sings a line from a Wonder Girls song)
How is it? Is it similar?
Yes.
1, 2.
Please give me the gwang.
It's really good!
The steak melts in my mouth!
Really? You must really like steak.
I just don't eat it often because I can't always afford it.
I especially like belly meat.
I see. I like pork belly too, but these days--
What does Dr. Yoon like?
Dr. Yoon...you mean Gye Sang?
Yes.
Gye Sang probably eats what he likes to eat.
Why do you ask?
We often order in lunch when we're working at the clinic.
Whenever we ask him what he likes,
he always says there's nothing he particularly likes.
In med school we always ordered food because we didn't have time to--
What was Dr. Yoon like in college?
Gye Sang?
Gye Sang was quiet and studious.
I thought so.
At that time I was pretty--
He was pretty popular with the patients then too, wasn't he?
Well...
Of course he was popular.
He values the patients more than himself.
Among the patients I was also--
Why did Dr. Yoon drop out of Myung In Med School?
Was it because of a woman?
It's a rumor at the clinic.
It's false, right?
He shows absolutely no interest in women.
This is something all the nurses are curious about...
Do you know what his ideal type is?
Cute women?
Sexy women? Or the domestic type?
Hey!
Are you that curious what type of women Gye Sang likes?
Ask him yourself!
Ask him! Call him and ask!
What's wrong?
Why are you eating food I'm paying for and only talking about Gye Sang?
Where did you learn such rude manners?
If that's how it's going to be, spit out the steak!
Spit it out now!
Dr. Lee.
Why are you so quiet all of a sudden?
I'm going to go to the restroom really quick...
That woman will be paying.
Okay.
- Laughs at me - Stupid
- No soul - Only interested in Gye Sang
All of them make me feel so bad about myself!
I'm going to burst with anger!
January 16th, 2012. 2:14PM.
Julien got his first point in the game he'd dreamed of playing in.
I got it.
- Go? - You can go.
I have a hongdan.
Always remember if your opponent put down the card or flipped it.
Go.
Drat.
Ugh, I've got nothing.
Don't let your opponents read your expression.
You have nothing to put down, huh?
- 2 go. - What's this? You're good.
3 go?
Too many go's will result in a loss.
Stop. 8 pts and 2 pibaks.
Gye Sang! I got 3rd!
- What? - 5 of us played and I got 3rd!
That day Julien got 3rd among Go Stop pros fair and square.
It was equivalent to Korea's World Cup glory in 2002.
What are you doing?

It finally bore fruit!
- Jin Hee, have one. - You too, Dr. Yoon.
- Where in America? - L.A.
You know of a sweet and gentle girl? He wants to hire a Korean babysitter.
Oh, you must be Soo Jung!
I'll pick out the fish bones for you.
Would you like me to bring you some water?
How can you be this nice...
Be quiet before I pour this pitcher of water on you...
Do you have any friends in L.A. who are as sweet and gentle as you?
What about me?
