Powerful Opponents
Episode 7
Do you have a boyfriend?
No, I don't, sir.
Do you want to play along with me?
What detrimental effects will your childish games have on Cha Young Jin? Have you thought about it?
If I keep keeping that in mind, then I won't be able to put my full heart into playing that childish game, would I?
Don't keep it so secretive. Open your heart to let me have a look, too.
Aren't I your partner?
What's going on?
Forget it.
Sorry that I misunderstood you.
Aren't we partners?
If you still think that way.
I am Kang Su Ho.
The ramen shop which I went to right away when I got out of the hospital the other time, do you still remember?
Yes, I do.
I want you to go there with me again.
Su Ho, can I go in?
Are you asleep?
This child again...
Yes, I am not off work yet.
I will mobilize the special locating network.
There is not one day that it stops.
Where did he go to now?
Not eating?
What?
It's expanded already.
Yeah.
Since there are only the both of them, they should stop using the polite speech.
Mmh.
What?
Anyway, we're of the same age.
Some people use polite speech, others use casual speech.
Isn't it funny?
With my character, I can definitely not use polite speech with peers of my age.
So stop using polite speech.
I can't.
Why not?
It's in the rules of the bodyguard, we must use polite speech with our protectees.
But I'm saying when both of us are alone.
No matter if it's two or three people, as long as it's a working relationship,
I can't use casual speech on a protectee.
Don't you find it very weird using polite speech with peers around your age?
That...at times.
Then?
Be it weird or not, it's still work, isn't it?
So you're saying, no matter when it is, it'll always be a working relationship?
Then can it be we're having a personal relationship?
Then just make it a personal relationship, can't it?
Personal relationship, let's just start it from now.
Is it that difficult?
I already have four guys.
A grandfather without a brain, a father and a brother.
In addition, I have an excellent partner.
When I hear of men, I detest them.
So?
You think that I am a female bodyguard, I would be an easy target?
But please do not move close when you like.
That won't work.
That...
Your condition is very serious, Cha Young Jin.
Come close?
Who are you saying wants to come close?
I have very high expectations. What are you thinking?
Please help yourself. Don't soak it.
I say, Cha Young Jin.
Yes?
Calling you out this late at night.
That is to say...
Right. I want to give you back this. This.
It's here. Because I want to give this back to you.
What's your problem?
What are you doing?!
I only wanted to take a photo for a keepsake.
Even if this is the president's son, isn't this a bit too over board?
Look, I already told you, it's the president's son.
It's Kang Su Ho.
The number you dialed is unavailable.
This is BINGO...
Have you contacted Cha Young Jin?
Not yet.
The tracking of the cell has come out with a result of three locations.
It's in that ramen shop.
You can reach it in ten minutes.
Go over there.
Yes, understood.
Gosh, really!
What's to be done now? It's very expensive clothing.
I'm willing to pay for the laundry of that clothing.
Sorry.
So, who asked you to come to other people's table?
What?
Don't meddle with it. Let me handle it.
I am also here to pass my time away.
Who is the one who barged in without permission? Are you reasonable?
Am I here to let you take a photo for commemoration?
You rascal!
Don't think that because you're the president's son, you're a big shot!
What? Rascal?
What did you say, you stinking fella?
- Am I a rascal to you? - Stinking fella…
Don't be like this, stop making a din.
All of you are dead.
All of you.
You dare to just order people around?
You...
Stop!
Now you are really disrupting public duty. Do you know?
Moreover, striking a public servant who is on duty...
Of course, we have to add in violent behavior, too, right?
That... I didn't really want to hit you.
I see that you're still young university students. Right?
This is...
Then...
Rounding up all the university students within a 9 li radius to the police station.
I can't bring myself to do it, so...
Let's offset each other with this.
The laundry fee. And this.
Both are in the wrong. So just take it as it didn't happen. Just settle everything as this.
Are you satisfied?
Why do I have to do this?
Since we got into trouble together, of course we have to take up the responsibility together, isn't it?
You...you're here?
Don't smile.
Episode 7 1 meter, the meaning of that spacing.
The order for the social work to end hasn't ended a full day.
Not yet one full day and these headlines get out.
No matter what, I can only say that in that circumstances,
we have already taken the precautionary measures and have already tried our best.
It is not enough just to try your best.
You have to consider the image factor.
I say, Public Relations Office Jung.
Yes, Pyo Section Leader.
We are there to sacrifice ourselves whenever countless episodes of dangerous circumstances present themselves.
Image?
If we have to think of that, too, how can we protect the protectee's safety?
Then at such a crowded place, shouldn't you avoid confrontation?
How do we do that?
The person that is being protected has been exposed.
The way you put it, it looks like our public affairs department has a very big responsibility.
Isn't that what you're implying Section Leader Pyo?
My meaning is that can you please understand the hardship we're facing, too?
It is not considering image on the one hand
and reading the information on what is happening on the internet on the another.
Once something happens, it is the bodyguards section's responsibility.
Who was the one who was in charge of looking after Kang Su Ho last night?
It's officer Cha Young Jin.
And?
It's me only?
Yourself?
Yes. It is my solo duty.
So what happened last night was solely my responsibility alone.
Together with a female bodyguard alone?
In the middle of the night?
To go to a ramen shop? What's that for?
I said it was because I wanted to eat ramen. That was why I went there.
Then after eating ramen, you should come back home.
Why did you get into a fight?
That bunch of thugs made the first move.
I already said it was not me who made the first move.
It's not my fault.
Even if it's not your fault, as long as the situation happens, it'll become your fault.
Just based on the fact that you were there at that time, the fault is already yours.
After going through so much, don't you know already?
When passing by other's orchards, you can't even stop to tie your shoe laces.
Moreover, you're the president's son.
Just a movement from you, all your actions, you have to be careful and more careful.
Why do I have to be the one who is careful every time? I kept bearing with it.
Mother and Noona. Why is it that you keep picking on me?
What crime did I commit so that I have to be sentenced to death?
Why is it that every time it's my fault?
That's why I can't breathe.
It is so stifling I'm going to be out of breath soon.
Su Ho.
Please, I am begging you!
I am...
I also need to breathe, too, mother.
Gwan Pil, you're here?
This fella has been on it for thirty minutes.
If he carries on like this, he'll faint.
Are you repenting or are you rebelling?
I told you before.
If you decide to play this childish game, the one who will have detrimental effects will be Cha Young Jin.
Again, it's my fault.
Because you do as you please.
When you got into a mess, every time, it won't be you but others.
Others?
Other than Cha Young Jin, who else is pulled into hot waters?
Do you still need to ask?
You're saying my father?
In those places, don't keep creating trouble.
You're his son. At least in this point, you can do it for his sake, right?
If you're so worried, why don't you become my father's son?
Won't that do?
Don't be so stubborn anymore.
Like what you said. You aren't a high school student who doesn't know how to think.
27 years old. At least you should be responsible for your life, right?
Again it starts. That damn image and acting.
If you don't want to act then do it better.
Just do your job well!
It's because you're angry right?
Last night, because I was with Cha Young Jin together alone, and you find it irritating in your heart.
Is it not?
Words got longer.
I'll be taking my leave.
Whichever side it is, you have to stop it first.
Be it colleagues or something more.
Before you knock off, finish everything and do it properly.
All these?
Why? You aren't happy?
Nope.
Why do you keep smiling at me?
Do I look that comical?
Why? No, my smile didn't mean that.
The saying goes, don't spatter saliva in a smiling face.
I do not belong to that category.
When I'm not happy, I will spatter saliva on a smiling face.
Be careful.
Yes.
Ggot Nim.
How can you sleep here?
Go in to sleep.
You're back?
Mmh.
Have you eaten?
Yes.
Well done.
When can you come?
You still need two weeks?
Yeah.
Actually, I am still looking.
Right now, it's not easy to look for good people.
Moreover, Ggot Nim is shy around strangers.
So...
I got it, ahjumma.
Anyway, once the thing is settled there, please get in touch with me immediately.
Yes.
What are you doing?
Can't be that you want to go eat ramen again?
If I want to, can I go?
Don't know if the vehicle department has knocked off yet.
Yesterday, I heard that you were in hot soup because of me?
No matter what...
Sorry.
Why are you still looking at someone like that?
The other person has already apologized. Aren't you suppose to return the courtesy?
You have to say, it's alright, or say, no need.
Why?
What?
Why do you have to apologize to me?
That is because...
It's all my fault.
What?
The reason why we went to the ramen shop is because of me.
The person that got into the fight was also me.
It's all my fault.
No matter what the time is, wherever the protectee wants to go,
the bodyguard has to follow. That is natural.
Exchanging fists with others, it is because we were down in luck and met with some trouble-makers.
As a bodyguard, anything can happen anywhere.
It's not your fault, Kang Su Ho.
Have you forgotten it so fast?
We are supposed to be capable of protecting others.
Taking a punch, blocking a flying egg, taking a bullet hit.
Because our job is to protect.
So, you don't have to apologize for everything.
Really?
You really think that way?
That it's not my fault?
If it's your fault, would I just let it go?
I would have long thrown you on the ground and given you a good bashing.
Give me a moment, I'll go get the car.
No need.
I suddenly changed my mind.
Just get off work.
You don't want to eat ramen?
Didn't I say it's not necessary?
Go on.
I got it.
I'll be going.
Gave me a fright.
Why are you so frightened?
Have you done anything wrong?
Go look at the mirror.
See how scary you look.
What I can see is only my beauty.
I am speechless, simply speechless.
Why are you here again?
Didn't you take the interest in the morning?
When passing by, I see the light still on.
This light?
It is not on because of welcoming you to come in.
No matter if it were lit or off.
It will definitely not take notice of you who just walked by. Thank you.
Mrs. Oh.
Do you want to go?
What's that?
The competition.
Why should you bother if I go?
Do you have the money?
Why should you bother if I have the money?
Shall I lend it to you?
Why should you bother if I want to lend?
What? Lend me?
Just another month of installment and it's all done.
The interest, I'll let you have it at a lower rate. If you want to borrow money, I'll lend it to you.
Forget it.
If I have the money, I will dance.
If I don't have the money, then I won't dance.
Then that is not dancing.
Dancing is like the wind.
Dancing is as free as the wind.
That is life.
But,
the meet, don't you still wish to go?
Isn't it?
Who exactly is Rumba Kim? Why is that person causing you so much headache?
Is it Mr. Cha's opponent?
Actually, he is not even my competitor.
Until today, he after having a partner from the heavens that appeared.
Partner from the heavens?
Yes.
Partner from the heavens.
That girl's name is...
Black Butterfly.
Just by looking, it made me enraptured.
Then why don't you go find that girl and ask her to be your partner?
I have seen that girl dance.
That is the first time and the last time I had seen her at the meet.
After that, wherever I went, I never saw her again.
Not even that bit of news.
Looks like there seems to be something she wishes to hide.
Black Butterfly.
Even if it's just once.
If I could only dance with that girl.
The aim isn't dancing.
The aim is to win the meet, isn't it?
You will be able to make a name for yourself.
And you will be able to gain recognition.
And you will be able to get the prize money.
Those thoughts, only people like Rumba Kim can think of.
My wish is only, cha cha cha, tango.
Waltz.
Grandpa, what are you doing here?
Lower your voice.
Go down. Go down.
Yah, rascal.
What's wrong, Grandpa?
Your father wants to enter the dance meet so badly.
You as a son aren't helping but spent your whole day playing around?
Is he going? The dance meet?
Only if he has the money.
Here. Paste this.
What's this?
Paste it and you will know, right?
The tape is here.
So I say, it's still father, mother, son, nephew.
That's done. Follow me.
Calling all: Dancing is life! Want to know the meaning of life?
From a day before Children's day 4th of May to the 8th which is father's day.
The president and the first lady will be attending the activities together.
So the team that is protecting the president will be increased.
Is that to say that we'll be working with the team that is protecting the president?
Right, working together.
Except you, Cha Young Jin.
Except me.
You'll stay in the office to receive orders.
Why am I the only one to stay in to receive orders?
We have to leave one in the office to receive orders so that three are able to go out for duties.
So sorry, what can be done?
Because of work, I can't spend time with Ggot Nim on Children's day.
Then I have to stay at home alone on children's day?
Cheong Wa Dae is having many activities.
So sorry Ggot Nim.
It's so coincidental that ahjumma is not around at this time, too.
Daddy doesn't feel good either.
It's alright.
It's better that Daddy is busy.
It means that you hold an important role in Cheong Wa Dae.
Isn't it?
It's alright.
I am already eight years old.
Don't worry.
I can play by myself.
some live comfortable lives, some have to suffer hardships
Some are among the clouds, others are not even held in regard.
In this world, nothing is fair.
The only thing that is unfair is growing up and disappearing in this world
Come on, baby, all people are the same.
I want you baby. It's only that way that's expressed is not the same.
Come on, baby, just put in a little more effort.
Go look for the direction to happiness.
Everyone will have once or twice when they are regretful beyond regret.
And there will be times when they have troubles which they can't say.
It's alright. Just bring out the courage and that will be fine.
I will be fortunate.
So boring.
Come on, baby, all people are the same.
I want you, baby. It's only that the way that's expressed is not the same.
Come on, baby, just put in a little more effort.
Go look for the direction to happiness.
Direction to happiness.
Come on, baby, can you please look at me?
I want you, baby, please be my pillar of strength, will you?
Come on, baby, I will give it my all.
Together with you, we will find the direction of happiness.
Come on, baby, all people are the same.
I want you, baby. It's only that the way that's expressed is not the same.
Come on baby, just put in a little more effort.
Go look for the direction to happiness.
It's alright. I'm already eight years old.
I'll just get Daddy to get something delicious back; that will do.
Little one, where are you going by yourself?
Did you lose your keys?
Shall Ahjussi bring you home?
No need, I can go back myself.
It's dangerous to just walk alone by yourself.
Ahjussi will drive you back.
Let's go.
I don't want to.
If an old man that you don't know, wants you to go with him, you must not follow him.
Or you can shout for help loudly.
If in the case there is no one around, hurry to the nearest main road.
Got it?
Hello, this is the president family protection unit, Cha Young Jin speaking.
Officer Yoo Gwan Pil is currently on duty.
May I know where this is?
Gwan Pil.
Yes?
It looks like your daughter is in a little trouble.
Not long ago, Cha Young Jin received a call.
I got Cha Young Jin to go over.
What do you wish to do?
I want to stay in my position.
Can you do it?
The mission comes first.
I'm Cha Young Jin.
Could it be today you want to go out?
Why?
Do you or do you not?
Not now. Why?
Because I have some personal problems.
So sorry, today I won't be able to protect you.
So?
You mean you want me to stay at home and honestly stay in the room?
Just for today, please?
What is it? Looks like it's rather urgent.
Yes, it's a little.
If Cha Young Jin requests like this, ok.
Thank you.
Fine. Call me when you're back.
What?
When you're done with the personal thing, give me a call.
7 or 8 o'clock will be about right.
- No, but… - That's it. I'm hanging up.
Gosh, really…
Cha Young Jin, it looks like you have grown a bit. You are now able to ask me for a favor?
What is so interesting?
Then what are you doing there without even knocking on the door?
The door is open, how am I able to knock?
Even if it's a cough.
I see that you're on the phone.
Cha Young Jin?
What about Cha Young Jin?
Looks like you were on the phone with Cha Young Jin just now, wasn't it?
Don't play around until it becomes a scandal. That will do.
What is that supposed to mean?
No matter if you got into a fight or practice illegal combat fighting skills.
Those dog shit cultivations can be tolerated.
But scandals with women, that is a little…
It looks like you can never be happy for long.
Why are you not happy?
Because of getting married with you.
Who is going to marry you?
Isn't that already been discussed by the two families?
I haven't even talked about these things.
Don't be a smart ass.
Rebellion is just for this period. Flings can only be once or twice.
You're already 27 years old and don't even have a career.
And not even any capabilities.
Other than you being the president's son, now you don't even have any merit points. That is the truth, isn't it?
Kang Su Ho, you...
Did my words make you unhappy?
Then do something to show your worth.
What sort of person you are, what you can do, where can you do it until. Do something to show.
If you don't wish to continue to be looked down upon.
You get out. Get out from my room.
If not, I have to leave, too.
There is a press conference after the event.
Marriage is also a political affair. That was how I was taught.
Although my feelings are truthfully far from saying I love you, I think that marriage is still okay.
I still like you.
So I hope you can buck up a bit; put in a bit more effort. So you'll have to learn more.
I'm leaving.
Ggot Nim.
Where is Dad?
His job has not ended.
So that's why I came first.
The president and the first lady are exiting the scene.
Today the president protectorate group worked hard.
Tomorrow, the president and the first lady will be entertaining the parents of the children.
All of the checks have to be done by today.
Yes, understood.
Yoo Gwan Pil.
Yes.
I heard that something happened at home.
Go home first.
No, it's alright. I will go back after everything is complete.
During a presidential mission,
even if your parents pass away or your wife is giving birth, you can't go off. This is our job.
But now that the event has ended. You can go off home.
But we have to get prepared for tomorrow's event. After I finish it…
The things after the event, just leave it to your colleagues.
What are colleagues?
People are able to empathize, to look after one another. Isn't it that?
It's alright. Go on home first.
Right, quick, go on home, Yoo Gwan Pil.
Just leave this place to us.
What are you doing?
Your senior is asking you to leave first. Aren't you going to go?
Thank you.
Good.
Eat up.
Mmh, hurry and try it.
Little one, her eyes are so round. So pretty, right?
Looks just like when our Young Jin was young.
Is your name Ggot Nim? How old is Ggot Nim?
Is it that you are feeling uncomfortable?
Looks like she's a little shy.
Is it because oppa is too handsome. That's why you're shy?
Don't keep talking, you're scaring the child.
Hurry and eat. Looks like you haven't had anything for the whole day.
Ggot Nim?
Ggot Nim?!
Ggot Nim...!
Sorry.
Dad...
Daddy is really sorry.
Maybe she lost her way.
The person who sent her to the station said
she suddenly ran out for Ho Dong area and was almost knocked down by the car.
Although she wasn't hurt she looks like she was frightened.
She was hungry for an entire day. She must be starving.
Maybe it's because you weren't around. She didn't even dare touch the rice.
Hey?
Are you alright?
It was around the age of three years old, there was an adoption form for this girl.
Her mother wasn't around, I wasn't able to raise the child myself.
Didn't even think of registering.
I had to go to serve the army, but no one could look after the child.
In the end, I could only send her to an orphanage.
After I finished my service and got together with Ggot Nim again.
She didn't even dare to make a sound.
She can only cry pitifully.
I said it was alright, she can cry loudly if she wanted.
But still she didn't dare to cry loudly.
Later I learnt from the principal,
she said it was because her crying was too severe,
that was why her father sent her to the orphanage.
Told her that after she lived with her father,
that time she must definitely not cry loudly.
When Ggot Nim was young, she used to cry terribly.
So I would say I would throw her away when she cried.
You keep crying, Daddy doesn't want you anymore.
I frequently said that.
She really believed what was said that time.
I…
I dare to do anything in this world.
Not afraid of anything at all.
Just afraid for this girl.
Afraid that she will get hurt because of me.
Afraid that because of me,
she will not be able to grow up as a normal person.
There will be a wound.
To a child, just because of not having a mother,
the wound is already there.
But, you don't have to worry too much.
Just as long as you hold on to the center,
the child can fully become a normal person.
The public bus is here.
Give me that.
No need, you just look after Ggot Nim well.
I'll send you back.
Words to say I love you, thinking of you.
Can I only keep it in the bottom of my heart?
Carefully getting close to you
A secret I can't reveal.
Can't forget that line.
Lifting up one's heart.
Song of the wind.
To say I love you, thinking of you.
Can I only keep it in the bottom of my heart?
Carefully getting close to you.
Towards that day I can be together with you.
I say, Cha Young Jin.
Since you said you'd call, why did you not keep your promise?
Didn't I say until 7 to 8 o'clock? Now what time is it?
It is already 9. why are you still keeping me waiting?
Hello?
Is this Cha Young Jin's cell phone?
Right.
Who are you?
I am Cha Young Jin's younger brother. Cha Young Ju.
Can I please speak to Cha Young Jin now?
She went out.
Went out?
Yes.
Said it's to Gwan Pil hyung's home.
Who?
The officer hyung that she is working together with.
Called Yoo Gwan Pil.
What?
Who is it?
Huh? Nothing.
That rascal, is he bullying my sister?
A month ago, there's still an ahjumma looking after her.
Looks like because of personal reasons she can't look after her anymore.
The child goes to school by herself. After school, it looks like she stays at home alone.
Just the child alone?
Yes.
Do you still want me to follow?
Yes, please.
I understand.
Looks like she was really frightened. She doesn't even wake up.
Go on.
Hey...
Whatever the case, I am still a guest. Aren't you even going to offer a glass of water?
More tastefully furnished than I thought.
I thought that with a guy living on his own, the house would look more bleak.
Is it because you have a child?
Are you done drinking?
Here.
Go on after you're done with the drink.
Look at the manners.
How can you not even say a word of "please have a seat" to someone who sent you home?
I didn't ask you to send me back.
It's you who followed me back.
Right, I got it.
I'll go. Go.
Can you stop being so strict and cold?
I didn't have a mother since I was young. I grew up with my father and my grandfather. Hence, I know,
that will all be learnt by Ggot Nim.
From the house bringing, it won't be good. Got it?
I'm going.
Kang Su Ho.
Oh, what about Kang Su Ho?
What?
The distance.
Better to keep it.
The distance to keep from the person you're protecting is one meter.
Further than that, the bodyguard will slip and make a mistake.
Nearer than that, feelings will develop.
If feelings develop, then you won't be able to be a bodyguard any longer.
Do you get what I mean?
Just a meter.
Keep that distance well.
Right, it's like that.
The distance that I and Kang Su Ho has to keep is a meter, right?
Then how many meters do you and I have to keep?
How many meters distance do you and I have to keep?
Ah, right.
That is not within the bodyguard regulations.
I'll really get going.
Is anything the matter? You're here?
When did you come?
What is the time now?
I asked you to call at 7 to 8. Did you forget?
Right.
Sorry, I forgot.
Right. Begging me to stay in the room.
You went back early. What is it for?
What exactly is so urgent?
It's personal.
So I don't have the right to know, right?
It's late. Please go back.
If not, I'll send you back.
Don't I know the route back to official residence? (Cheong Wa Dae)
I can go back by myself.
Then be careful on the roads.
Don't go over the speed limit.
Yah, Cha Young Jin.
Are you playing with me now?
Didn't you say it wasn't my fault?
Didn't you say that protecting me is your duty?
Now you want me to go back.
Have nothing to do with you outside working hours.
So you want me to play along with the situation, isn't it?
You have time to go to Yoo Gwan Pil's house to play, but you don't have time to call me?
The distance to have from the person you are protecting is one meter.
Just one meter.
Keep that distance well.
Today, my job has ended.
If you need a bodyguard, please make a call to report it.
Then I'll be going in first.
What if he goes there and creates havoc again?
No way. If he keeps doing it, it'll become a habit.
Remember the one meter. Do not forget. One meter.
Not right.
What if something happens again? In the end I'll be the unlucky one.
Oh... where did he go?
Anyone around?
You are?
Looks like I seen you before somewhere.
Hello. I am Kang Su Ho.
Kang Su Ho?
The person Noona is protecting. The president's son.
Then...
It is that trouble-maker, Kang Su Ho.
Ah, I take it back.
The way to say it is, the president's son.
What're you doing now?
Go out.
Go and let's talk.
I am not here to look for Cha Young Jin.
Seen this advertisement?
Don't you teach people how to dance?
Yes. Yes, I do.
This is my son, and he is also the dance teacher.
Please teach me, as well.
Kang Su Ho.
Didn't you say, Dancing is life?
Now I really don't know what's the meaning of life.
If I wish to know what it is,
how much is the monthly fee?
It is a big fish.
Do you think this is a joke?
Do I look like I'm joking now?
Just one meter, Cha Young Jin.
Keep that distance well.
However much you exert yourself, try all means to find a solution.
You can never get the whole world's approval of you.
Then, from today on, just start with the simple steps.
However much good luck you have, at least the repent letter is the basic.
Now I am asking you, is the game still on?
What is the reason for rejecting the classes?
My dad is a low-class dancer. I do not wish to hear this again.
Whose good books do you want to get into?
Promise that you'll live your life as an honest and upright person.
I hope you'd continue with the social work activities.
Then I will actively help you, too.
