Episode 21
I keep wanting to drink excessively
Are you done taking it down? So what does it mean?
You, tell me.
Well I...
"Well I" what?
What direction do N and S written on the board indicate?
N is which direction of north, east, south, and west?
N? South?
N is South? Then what about S?
West?
Are you stupid or what? If N is south and S is west
is E this way?
Kids at school treat him like he's a complete dummy. It's so embarrassing I want to change schools.
Goodness...
Where did this kid go?
He said it's his old ice hockey coach's birthday so all the kids from the team are getting together.
What is he doing there? He needs to get his act together.
What are we supposed to do about him?
If he's still struggling with the class material, do we need to lower him another grade?
We put him in the junior level classes with intentions of holding him back just one year,
but even if he only played ice hockey for so long, he doesn't even know the basics.
The way I see it, if you want to find the right grade level for him, it's going to be grade school level.
That's enough from you.
Aren't exams coming up soon?
There are but he'll probably get the lowest scores again.
That's enough. I'm going to start beating the knowledge into--
It's not a matter of beating him up when he doesn't even know the basics.
I can beat him starting with the basics.
I support Nae Sang but I don't think that's the way to get him to learn the basics.
Where do we start?
We can't afford a tutor or learning center for him right now.
Let's all meet together to decide what to do.
So because of him we're having a family meeting tonight to go over what we can do for him.
I see. Even though Jong Suk isn't that smart, he is charismatic.
What is it?
It's Go Young Wook.
Why is the text so long?
He sends texts as though it's a letter or journal entry.
Why do you respond to them?
He sends so many I feel bad ignoring all of them.
You just have to ignore them. What's not to ignore.
I'm going to head home now.
We didn't know but you two are quite famous online.
Who, me?
I should get your autographs before you two become any more famous.
-Excuse me? -What are you talking about?
Take a look at this.
Worst spectator trio at the baseball stadium
Ji Suk, Young Wook, are you two okay?
-Oh my gosh, how did this happen? -What is this? Who posted this online?
They say it's always the quiet ones. Is this what you two have been doing outside of work?
I'm sure the principal will love this when he sees it. Great PR for the school.
What do we do about this? There's already over 4,000 views on this. What do we do?
Which jerk put this up...
Online investigation team please.
Online investigation team.
What is the number for the online investigation team?
Yes Young Wook.
I just saw it too. What do I do about this?
You want to meet right now?
How can you not be at the family meeting?
What? You're having a meeting too?
What kind of meeting?
Fine.
Let's just have it with us.
Okay, let's do that.
Alright, so let's start.
Start.
What do you suggest we do about Jong Suk's studies?
I'll tell you what I think first.
Each family member should take on one subject each and tutor him.
-What do you think? -Why yes.
Not bad right? So whoever is in charge of each subject has to make sure
he memorizes the core lesson of the day before he goes to sleep.
After two months, we should start seeing great results.
What do you think?
I like the idea but for a kid who struggles with even the basics, memorizing everything might be difficult.
So I think in order to help him enjoy studying, we should work with him to understand the material--
What do you mean understand? With studying, you have to just memorize everything.
Especially in our country, if you just know everything, you're guaranteed at least 80%-90%.
School materials in our country aren't really like that anymore,
and just memorization makes a student lose interest quickly.
You have to first develop an understanding--
There isn't enough time for that.
There's just one year to get him to learn all the information before he has to take the SATs again.
It'll take one year just to get him to understand everything.
The answer is to just get him to memorize everything.
Even if he does memorize things, you can't just force him to. He needs to understand in order to memorize.
Why not? You don't memorize the multiplication table because you understand it. You just do.
Not all studies are like that. You have to understand so that--
That's enough. We don't need to discuss this any further. Let's just do what Gye Sang says.
Gye Sang probably knows 100 times more things than you do about the right way to study.
What does he know 100 times more than me?
What are you basing that on?
Gye Sang got 200th in the country on his SATs. You didn't even do that well in school.
Just because he did well on his SATs doesn't mean whatever he says is right.
Why not? When it comes to school and studying--
Yoo Sun. Just because I did well in school doesn't mean whatever I say is right.
And for the record, I wasn't 200th, I was 172nd.
That was just a joke.
And being 172nd was a fact, not a joke.
What are you trying to do right now?
I'm just saying that with learning, you have to use understanding as a base.
Yeah. So just do as Gye Sang says.
Wow, you must be so happy you have a prodigy as a brother.
Then you two can take of everything, I'll just be playing Godori online over there.
Let's see how successful learning based on understanding is.
What's wrong with him? I was just saying Gye Sang is right because he is.
You always say whatever Gye Sang says is right.
If he told you that poop is bean paste, you'd probably tell me to eat it.
Why do you have to say such gross things?
Good luck with that teaching method.
-Teaching based on learning -Teaching based on memorization
You're home. Can I see you for a second?
Please punish whoever created the clip, posted and reposted the clip.
-Have you been well? -How can I in this situation?
I'm sorry...because of me...
Okay. Yes. Yes. I understand.
I filed a report.
Even if they catch the person, it's already all over the Internet.
Look, we're 2nd top trending topic.
This is nuts. Why did you have to try to catch the ball?
That's what I should be saying to you.
What? I should be saying that to you!
I should!
Why are you both acting like this?
What do we do from here now?
We'll just have to wait for things to die down.
He's right. It may be a big issue online but when you actually go out, it's not that big of a deal.
The for now--
-Look it's the Spectator Trio -Right? You're the Spectator Trio from the baseball game.
It is! It is!
Go away!
Hey! Don't do that or I'll--
It's because of you three that our team lost that game!
Is that why you three got together? To make a fool of yourselves again?
You said that it's only a big deal online but everyone recognizes us!
-Why these kids-- -What are you three going to do next?
Go inside for now.
Come with us.
Are you okay?
I'm okay. Thank you.
You got some here too.
Empress Myung Sung, you're a Scorpio, aren't you?
Why?
Seems like it. It's a good thing.
Is he dumb or what...
You've probably heard the phrase "To lose your dignity."
Exploiting indignifying acts or reporting people online is nothing new anymore but,
People being outspoken, acting out of place and caught in moment of lewd behavior are common,
but recently a clip of 3 spectators acting out at a baseball game was captured on camera.
That woman looks incredibly like someone we know.
Right? She looks familiar to me too.
Where have I seen her?
I think I've seen her too.
I'm home.
Progression is a sequence of numbers. And of that an arithmetical progression is
that it is alike, what is? The sequence.
It's referring to the sequence in numbers.
It looks complicated but that's what it's referring to.
Easy, right?
Yeah, sure.
Western and Eastern invasion.
What is an invasion?
The West.
So the Westerners caused disorder.
They caused trouble.
Why do you think they did that?
This is 1871 and 1866.
What was the state of our country at these times?
English words are easier to memorize when you understand their roots.
What is agriculture?
It looks hard but is easy once you break it down.
agri means land
and you've heard of culture, right?
It originally means to cultivate. So what is it when you cultivate land?
Agriculture.
Now that you understand the meaning of agriculture, it'll be easier to understand other similar words.
You got to be kidding me.
You're a Scorpio, right?
Ha Sun, when is your birthday?
Uncle Ji Suk!
Yeah, what's up?
The Worst Spectator Trio-that's you right?
Why? Did someone put it up somewhere else online?
Yeah, here. I thought I was going to die of laughter.
Where? Where? Find it so I can report it.
Ha Sun, when do you start your period?
How can he...such a thing...
Is she discriminating? She sends responses to some people right away...
Stop. Pass your answer sheets to the front.
Math is too hard.
Should I shoot some water at Kim Ji Won since I'm feeling kinda down?
You attempted to solve the sequence problems. Congrats on the progress.
Don't mess with me.
Why didn't you finish solving the problem? You were almost done with it.
I said don't mess with me.
You!
It was a mistake!
Stop running around and distracting me!
Why not? It's break time.
Can't you sit still even if it's break time?
You're right, it's my fault for expecting so much from you guys.
Our clip was on all sorts of websites.
Why are you walking so quickly?
Anyways, is that how it's going to be Ha Sun?
What is?
You got my text right? [Ha Sun, when is your birthday?]
Yes, but what about it? [Ha Sun, when do you start your period?]
Why didn't you respond? You respond to Go Young Wook all the time.
What?
Yoon Ji Suk, Go Young Wook at least does not ask me such questions.
Excuse me? What do you mean such questions?
Why can't I ask you? Go Young Wook probably didn't because he knows.
What? How can you say such a thing?
What do you mean such a thing?
Why do you want to know such a thing?
Why not? Is that not something I can know about you?
What are we for you to be so curious?
We're coworkers. It's good to know about your coworker.
It's good to know?
If I know, I can celebrate with you.
Celebrate what?
What's wrong with celebrating it?
It's enough that the kids are making fun of me about that clip, why are you doing this now?
Why is she acting like that?
I'm home.
Did you study hard?
We had a math test but I feel somewhat confident.
Do you? What about Jong Suk?
Probably 0 pts again.
-0 pts? -It's so embarrassing I want to die.
I knew this would happen. Hey Yoon Yoo Sun!
Do you still think I'm wrong and everything Gye Sang says is right?
Ha Sun, what's wrong?
-What do you mean? -Did we not have a closer relationship than that?
You respond to Go Young Wook right away,
but then I send one text message and you treat me like some weird person.
You know it's not like that.
Then what is it? Am I a coworker you don't like that much?
-Who said-- -I understand.
What is there left to say when you say you don't like me.
I'll be careful from now on. I'm sorry. I thought we were close but I guess not.
Just because we're close doesn't mean you can ask those kinds of things.
Why are you so curious about that?
I can be curious. Can I not be curious?
I'm kind of really hurt.
Do you really have to know?
What's wrong with knowing? We work together.
Alright.
Honestly, it's today.
Today?
That's why she was so embarrassed to tell me.
What did I say? What's the use in understanding when all you have to do is memorize the material?
When you just memorize--
Gye Sang you should shut that mouth.
You helped him in math by trying to help him understand but he failed his exam.
Do you have something to say? I don't think you do.
Well I don't have anything to say about that but by understanding--
If you have nothing to say, why are you still talking?
Or do you?
Starting today, I will teach Jong Suk based on my teaching methods,
so just prepare to be amazed.
Ahn Jong Suk, let's talk.
Ha Sun, Ji Suk wants to talk to you.
What is it?
-This... -What is that?
It's not much...con-congratulations.
For what?
You said it's today.
What's toda--
This is really a bit much. Why are you doing this? Do you have some sort of sickness?
What? No I...why would I?
This is getting out of hand.
It's depressing enough as it is with that clip, are you trying to torture me? Why are you doing this?
What are you...?
It was really weird that you asked earlier but the reason I told you is because,
I didn't want to ruin my relationship with you.
But don't you think this is a bit too much?
What's the big deal with telling me that one thing?
Big deal? You don't even tell your parents those things!
Why would you not tell your parents? How could your parents not know?
Seriously! Please go! I really don't want to see you right now!
-Why-why.. -I said go! This is our house!
Happy birthday Ha Sun!
Oh no. Ji Suk!
What happened? Did you think it was my birthday?
You said it's your birthday.
When did I--
Oh.
What is it?
You should check the text you sent me.
I'm sorry about the misunderstanding.
And thank you anyways.
So...
Hold on!
Yes?
This. I already bought it anyways so you should take it.
No it's okay, it's not even my birthday.
Take it.
I just won't give you anything on your actual birthday.
Take it.
Thank you.
I'll get going now. There's too much blood rushing to my head.
Alright, go ahead.
Math is easy to memorize. So just memorize it too.
So this is arithmetic progression.
I already went over this with Uncle Gye Sang.
Forget about that. What is arithmetic progression?
If you don't know, just memorize it!
What do people do as they row a boat?
They need to be in sync.
Just like that.
That's arithmetic progression. Easy, right?
Agriculture. Agri-
similar to "ssahgeuri."
Culture. Like slicing with a knife.
So what does mean put together?
Farming, right?
Agriculture. Easy to remember, right?
It's 1876 in Ganghwa.
How should we memorize the year?
What do you do when you open a new business?
You cut the ribbon. And what do you do before you cut the ribbon? You have a countdown, right?
9,8,7,6. But since there's no 9, replace with a 1.
1,8,7,6-the year 1876.
What do you think? Easy, right?
The year 1871.
There's a kid names Shim Mi.
Who's Shim Mi?
Let's just say there's a kid named Shim Mi.
Shim Mi is 18 years old.
Why?
They just are. There's no reason to age.
Shim Mi is Yang Yo. Sounds like nursing home.
They went to see their grandma who's at the nursing home and stayed for 7 days.
7,1-is what? 1,8,7,1.
The year 1871. What do you think? Easy, right?
So then for Byung In yang yong, Byung In went to the nursing home?
That's right! Byung In is the same age as Shim Mi.
Easy, right?
The year 1636.
You know the singer Ho Ran, right?
Ho Ran went to visit Byung Ja at the hospital and
the room number is 1636.
So how do I memorize 1636?
Just look at my face and memorize it.
Ho Ran went to visit Byung Ja and the room number is 1636! 1636! 1636!
I was going to get the coffee...
It's okay.
Ji Suk is running a little late.
Maybe he usually runs late.
Did they catch the person who made the clip?
They did and it's a junior high student,
-and the parents are-- -I'll listen to the details once Ji Suk gets here.
Okay.
I'm going to run to the restroom real quick.
Sure, go ahead.
I'm sorry, I'm right out front, I'll be there soon.
Ha Sun, when do you start your period?
Sorry I'm late.
You really have no manners.
Don't you have any respect for women?
What? Who do you think you are?
How dare you grab me!
How dare you say I have no manners!
Guys like you ought to get locked up!
Why you!
-Aren't those the two guys from that clip? -Looks like it.
Why are you two doing this?
-It's the Spectator Trio! -Look it's the Spectator Trio!
-Spectator Trio? -It's the Spectator Trio!
Spectator Trio Part II
It was not until the Bus Man that the Spectator Trio was slowly forgotten.
Exam score posting day
I'm home.
How'd it go?
Last place? Did you get the lowest score again?
I don't know.
What was your score?
Second to lowest score.
But it's not the lowest? You see? He didn't get the lowest with my method!
Nae Sang felt great pride in feeling that his teaching method had worked.
Except, due to one student's rebellious behavior, Jong Suk was able to avoid the lowest score.
Let's memorize this English word easily.
Conceal. To hide.
Big string. Where did it go? Did you hide it?
Therefore, conceal. To hide.
Serious. To be solemn.
I'm telling you it's strong! It's something serious, right?
Bullet.
Is it an advantage or disadvantage when you're hit by a bullet?
Advantage or disadvantage?
Disadvantage.
Right? So if you're hit with a bullet, you're always at a disadvantage!
Therefore bullet!
Wow, that's so easy to remember!
