Answer Me 1994
First, let's trust one another. June 22, 2002
Trust, even though it seems easy, it can be really difficult.
However, if you think it's hard and choose to not trust, then you won't be able to accomplish anything.
The husband trusts his wife and depends on her, and the wife trusts the husband and depends on him.
Trusting means not doubting, but with your heart, giving reliance and accepting.
I wish for both of you to be a couple who trusts and believes in each other.
Lastly and second, let's love each other.
Try thinking of the word love for a moment.
How sweet and profound.
The groom has a good body.
That's right.
By the way, what does the groom do?
He is good looking.
What was it? I heard about it but I don't remember.
By the way, who's singing the wedding song today?
Na Jeong's Dad has been bragging about it.
He told us to look forward to the wedding song.
I don't know.
The officiator needs to hurry up and finish up his harangue so they can sing the wedding song.
Lastly, my wish is for you to be happy and joyous.
- Thank you. - It's ended.
Thank you for your valuable words.
Now, you've waited for long time.
Next, to congratulate today's wedding ceremony,
there will be a wedding song performance.
We had a wedding song performance?
For the groom Kim Jae Joon
and the bride Sung Na Jeong's wedding, as a special performance
I will sing the wedding song.
Sh*t!
I would appreciate it if the groom and the bride can turn towards me.
The song I'm going to sing is
The Blue's "I Only Feel You".
I will sing Song Ji Chang's part and for Kim Min Jong's part,
someone else will sing it.
Then, please play the music.
It's you, it's you, right?
[Mouthing] No!
Who is it? Who is it?
- Do you not know? - I don't know.
Applause! Applause! Na Jeong, live happily ever after.
And stop tormenting your pitiful groom.
I'm going to kill that jerk!
As if I wished you would be same as me,
I don't want a lot of things.
The regret that I couldn't understand
were just thoughts of longing. Kim Min Jong! Kim Min Jong! Kim Min Jong!
The short time we had together Kim Min Jong was a popular solo singer and part of the '90s duet The Blue
became pain left in our hearts.
However, not everything can change.
Just like our precious story will never change.
I'm not crying because I'm sad.
I just still have feelings for
the me that I've known since a long time ago.
The me that used to be together with you.
The more I look at it the more insignificant
and lonely that smile seems.
There's no more
to say anymore.
Although I go back weakly,
I can't forget you.
Neither of us wanted it.
I just want to be a bit closer to you.
I will only feel you and give my sweet love.
How can Kim Min Jong sing the wedding song?
Is he a relative?
No way. How could Na Jeong's Dad and Kim Min Jong be relatives?
Then why did he come?
Hello, I am Kim Min Jong.
I sincerely congratulate the groom and the bride on their wedding today.
Thank you. It's Kim Min Jong. Once more, applaud please.
Have a great time.
Episode 13 The rule of ten thousand hours
Beneath The Sky Kim Min Jong's 1993 album
For you
Without a faint feeling even, Summer, 1995
Even the last sparkle of your eyes
Yeah.
I'm coming.
To pure you.
Now nobody (to mimic Min Jong Kim's face who sang in the Jeong's wedding ceremony.)
can stop me.
I should only walk
I can't feel (unfinished this word).
What!
How can you stop it in the highlight part?
Turn it on again.
Always, Kim Min Jong! Kim Min Jong!
You bastards. Don't you even get sick of Kim Min Jong?
Last year, you were pretending to be the group "The Blue", whenever you had 2 people to sing together.
This year you're singing ballads that don't even suit you?
Still we haven't even sang one verse.
How can you turn it off?
There's 3 minutes left. 3 minutes.
Try singing Kim Min Jong's song one more time. Then whoever it is will die by my hands.
Hey. There's 2 minutes left.
Hey, friend, since you're the main guy today,
hurry up and pick a song. Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Murphy's Law
We don't like money! We don't like fame!
We really don't like boring music!
To the beat of an exciting funky dance song, he is singing, Sam Cheon Po!
I'm Haitai! I'm Tae Yoon. We are from Computer Engineering. We are DOC DJ doc!
1, 2, 3, 4 say!
There is one minute left, one minute.
Still, since it is the last song, shouldn't you at least sing this song for him?
You found it? - Yup.
There's no other classmate like me.
On The Enlistment Train
Hey! What is this?
This girl is really!
Can't you see him dying already? Do you really have to confirm his death like this?!
This song is not right. You're not a man, that's why you don't know.
You don't know how anxious he is inside right now.
I didn't want to show you
my awkward short crop cut.
Among the people who are waving their hands,
I didn't want to leave you.
During the time of 3 years,
would you forget me?
Don't wait.
One day before Gi Tae goes to the military
Have you still not found it?
Are you sure you really didn't drop it somewhere?
What should I do?
It's $300. I put it in an envelope really carefully.
I know. You're usually so good about things like that.
You're not the kind of girl that would leave something somewhere and forget.
Huh, where must it have gone...
You said it was your club's membership fee, right?
Yes. It's the money used for our end-of-the-semester party.
Aish, this week,
I was supposed to make a reservation at a pub after the finals.
I have to reserve it this weekend.
I was holding onto a lot of money for no good reason and lost it.
I should have just kept it all in the bank.
You might find it later so just borrow money from your mom for now.
Otherwise, where are we going to get $300 right now?
No I can't.
Why can't you? Where are you going to find that much money then?
If I ask my mom for money, then I'll spend the whole day explaining stuff.
For what is that money for? How did you lose it? Why would your club need so much money?
She is going to interrogate until right before an impatient person like me explodes.
It's better for me to apologize to the club members and just collect the money again.
Should I do that?
Didn't you say the club president election is coming up soon?
They will be really happy about that!
Is that so?
Oh right, outside.
Outside Oppa came.
Trash Oppa is here.
Borrow it from Trash Oppa.
That Oppa has no idea about finance so he won't even know you borrowed it.
You might not even have to return it later.
Oh right. Isn't Gi Tae going to the military tomorrow?
I didn't even get to see his face.
There's a lot of people that want to see him besides you so don't worry.
Even if there is a war, there wouldn't be such a lavish farewell party!
What kind of farewell party lasts the whole week?! They are crazy! Crazy!
They actually got a room in front of Nonsan training camp so they can drink to death until he enlists tomorrow!
[Military Training Camp]
[Barbershop] [Welcoming enlisted soldiers]
[Enlistment Information Center]
[Prerequisites: Training Boots, Bandaid, Ointment,Notebook, Watch]
[Enlisted men, Family Members of Trainee]
♫ I left my house and got on the train ♫
Hey.
You're the only ones I have left.
Coming all the way in front of the training camp for an enlisted classmate.
No one else in the world would do that.
You are the first batter. (First to go.)
I can totally empathize with it.
When you enlist, don't try too hard but just let go of yourself.
All sorts of weirdos from all over the country will be gathered together. Who knows who will be partnered up with?
You know what I'm saying?
You talk like you've been to the military,
even though you haven't even gone yourself.
I can go once I receive the draft notice.
I guess the draft notice hasn't reached the countryside yet.
Would the draft notice care whether it's Seoul or the countryside?
It comes out when the time comes.
I still have a long time to wait. My family hasn't contacted me about it yet.
Anyway, I'll be back.
That's right. Fighting, fighting. 1, 2, 3, fighting! ♫ As a single clump all my friends' faces will be new. ♫
♫ Now to start again. Oh, my dream of youth. ♫ Suncheon, South Jeolla, Joryedong District Office
Oppa.
Why are you here at this hour? Did you come here on your way to the hospital?
Yes. I had some time left so I came to eat home-made food.
Hey, can you move your face?
Hey, don't you have tests soon?
Are you not taking your finals?
There's one left. I just need to review a bit for it.
What about you, Oppa? When does your internship end?
This month.
My Oppa's face is all ruined.
This girl. How can you say Oppa's face is ruined? What do you mean ruined? Talk prettier, won't you?
Your face doesn't look good.
Oppa, do you want to come live in our house again?
Sam Cheon Po and Yoon Jin can just use one room.
Jeong.
Sit properly.
Set down your legs.
If you keep that up, you will be hospitalized again.
Straighten your back and stick it to the chair.
You haven't been exercising recently again, right?
You are not desperate anymore. Not desperate.
Will you come to your senses after your back breaks in half?
I have been exercising.
Stop lying, girl!
Hey.
Then try doing this.
Can you do this?
If you can do this, then I won't nag you.
What are you doing not standing up and trying it?
I can do it. Why wouldn't I be able to do it?
Then try doing it.
Hurry up. Hurry up hurry up hurry up.
Stick out your butt.
Straighten your back.
Don't wobble around and make your knees L-Shape.
I said L-Shape!!
You haven't been exercising at all.
Your back is a rock, a rock.
I'm not the only one that can't do it.
Other people can't do it either.
Everybody else can do it. You're the only one that can't.
Yoon Jin.
Hey.
Try doing this.
Yeah, that's right.
You'd better exercise! Or I'll kill you.
Just stuff your face with food.
You better speak pretty before I beat that head of yours.
Beat that head like boom boom before it isn't there any more.
Oppa!
Hold on right there.
Anyway, I have something I want to say to you.
I actually came here to tell you something. I almost left after eating.
To me?
What is it?
What about you? You tell me first.
Oppa.
Lend me some money.
About 300,000 won. Don't tell Mom and Dad.
What are you going to do with it?
I lost it.
The club dues of 300,000 won. I was carrying that around with me and must have dropped it somewhere.
You're going to lend it to me, right?
Yeah.
Yes!
However, if you successfully do a horse riding stance.
If you last more than 5 seconds in that position, I will lend it to you.
That's a gum (meaning it's easy as a piece of cake). I can succeed that in one day.
But still, I have only oppa to trust. You know my account number right? Send it to there.
Okay. I got it. If you successfully do a horse riding stance.
I will show you right away tomorrow. I only need one day.
You hold the money and wait for me.
Good bye.
Jeong.
What are you doing tomorrow night?
You don't have anything to do right?
Then come to the front of my hospital by 7.
Tomorrow, I'm off. Let's have a dinner together.
Why?
I have something I want to say to you.
What is it you want to say?
Is it something bad?
No.
Can you just tell me now?
Tomorrow.
I'll tell you tomorrow.
Go in. Oppa's leaving.
Oh! I forgot. Oppa.
What is this?
Give this to Jae Young Oppa.
I tore this from Kino (magazine).
Since this month supplement contained Piccadilly (theater) 1,000 won discount coupon.
I heard Jae Young Oppa has a girlfriend now.
So he can use that when he goes there with his girlfriend.
Also, this. Give this to Binggrae.
What is this?
I put all new songs together and recorded it separately.
Gift for Binggrae's appendectomy.
Hey. Appendectomy is not a big surgery.
Even though it's not big surgery, he would be stifled just staying in the hospital.
Tell him to listen to that when he gets bored.
Then, right now I'm going to hospital.
Why don't we go together and you give it to him?
I can't. I have an appointment.
I promised to Chil Bong that I would help him with the study for the general education class exam.
Why do you need to help him with that?
Aish. Then what should I do?
He already was placed on academic probation twice. If he gets one more then he'll receive a school dismissal.
I'm the smartest around him.
Didn't you know?
Hey. Is the school crazy enough to give him a dismissal?
He's not going to get kicked out.
So tell him not to worry and just write the name and turn it in.
I can't. I already promised.
It's an open book (exam), so I just need to highlight some of the lines in the book.
Ah. You wench. You butt in to other people's business like it is the Pacific ocean.
Everyone can take care of their own life.
Don't worry about others, you worry about yourself.
I'm little weird right?
But what should I do. It worries me.
Oppa.
I'm going.
Why is your face expression like that?
Why? You don't want to give me a hug?
It's not.
You can't even do that to me?
It's not because of that.
Fine!
Today's practice is up to here. Let's clean up.
You guys, don't play around. Study for the exams.
I will only allow the grade to D.
Hey. You guys need to graduate at least.
Dismiss.
Thank you for your effort!
Hey. In Sung. I think I need to leave early.
Can I ask you for the clean up?
Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
Sorry. Sorry guys.
Hey. What are you doing?
Let's clean up quickly and go.
What crap! Seriously. Who doesn't have something else to do?(sarcastically)
He's not like us.
You guys are going overboard.
Hey. You skipped yesterday because you had an appointment.
And it's first time for you to stay. Don't you feel sorry for a first year player?
Hey. Are you taking his side because you're his wife?
Did Chil Bong do something wrong to you guys?
Aren't you guys from the same high school?
Why are you being so antsy to get him?
Then why don't you guys do well?
The Life and the Leadership.
Hey. Can I just cheat and copy yours?
All of other kids do that.
Hey, if others get caught cheating, they will just get an F, but
you will be plastered on the front page of the sports newspaper.
It's an open book exam. It's a giveaway.
You just need to read the parts where it's highlighted.
Hey. When will I read all of this?
Oh yeah. There will be an essay question.
An essay?
I give up. I'm not going to do it.
To be honest, the professor could just give a passing grade for the general education class..
and finish well with each other.
Why did I take this class?
Then why did you take this class?
You should've just took class like belly dance, tap dance, or bowling like others.
I took this class, following you.
I thought you would do everything for me like this.
Aigoo. My life. My life.
Anyway, even there's an essay question by that professor,
the question is same every year. How wonderful is that?
Really? What is the question?
A mentor in your life.
Mentor? What is a mentor?
You really don't know?
Yeah.
Teacher. It's a teacher.
The person who you admire and want to learn from. The goal in your life.
Ah. I see. Then Sung Dong II coach-nim.
Liar.
It's true.
It looks so petty, seriously...
Well anyway, that professor, the question has been the same for few years.
Who is your mentor and why is that?
Who is it?
Who is your mentor? Park Chul Soon (a famous Korean pitcher)? Park Chan Ho (a Major Leaguer pitcher)?
Well.. There are too many.
I like Park Chul Soon sunbaenim.
I also like Choi Dong Won sunbaenim.
I respect player Sun Dong Yeol also.
I'm a really big fan of Player Goo Dae Sung.
Roger Clemens...Greg Maddux.
Also. Pedro Martínez.
Just choose one. Choose one.
Well... Who should I do?
Hey. Normally, kids who play sports put pictures of one hero at least that they like on their room.
You don't have one?
You said you played baseball since you were in elementary school.
Yeah.
Then, was there anybody that you wanted to become like that person?
Do you play baseball without any thoughts?
Hey. What do I have to think about when I play baseball. I play without any thoughts.
You don't look like it
but you are really stupid.
Anyway, just choose anyone even if you have to make up something.
Or you make a new (mentor) today.
Okay. You know, I have good agility.
You speak well. I guess it's because you had many interviews before.
Yeah.
I noticed that you get better as you do more.
Hey, don't you want to go eat something? I'll buy you something good.
I will never go to eat with you alone.
Hey!
I'm going to the public bath with Yoon Jin. I'll see you later at home.
By the way, don't we need to go visit Binggrae in the hospital?
He must be bored.
It's actually good for him. He gets to listen to the songs he likes all day.
Hey, you really don't want to go eat something?
No.
Hey.
I'm leaving.
Oh, Sunbaenim.
It's fine.
It's a total hotel, a hotel.
My Binggrae finally got to rest, right?
I know, right?
It's really comfortable and nice.
What do you listen to these days?
Kim Min Jong? -Yeah.
What is this song called?
"Under the sky".
Seriously. You're really pitiful. Pitiful.
Hey, if you listen to such depressing songs like this everyday,
what thoughts are you gonna start thinking, huh?
Have you farted? - Yes.
And did you finish the porridge?
Yes.
Aigoo, my puppy is good.
Hey, let me look at the place where you got your surgery.
It's fine. It's all healed.
Why are you like this? Take your hand off.
Move your hand!
Move it!!
Okay, okay, move your hand.
They stitched beautifully.
Hey, page me if you get bored tonight.
There's a game room near, so we can play a round of 1945.
Okay?
Yes.
Don't smile like that, I may fall for you.
I'm leaving.
Hey.
Like this. Can't you do it?
Do you think it's easy for a patient with a herniated disk?
Dang it.
You have to keep your back straight, your back!
Put your back up.
You have to keep your knees straight.
Straighten your back! Your back!
Straighten it up.
Ah, seriously... What are you doing?
Geez!
Aish, seriously, it hurts. Aish.
Aish, it really hurts.
Now I see how Trash Oppa is smart.
He's making you to exercise like this while he could've just given you the money.
Aish, I need to make a reservation at the bar soon.
When is the announcement for the club president?
Either tomorrow or the next day.
They said they will give me call at home.
Jin.
Oppa said he wants to meet me tomorrow night.
You?
Just the two of you?
Outside?
Isn't it strange? Should I not meet him?
Don't you think he's going to say something weird?
You've been too clingy lately.
Asking him to give you a hug whenever you see him...
It's so obvious, even if I don't see it.
"I don't feel comfortable with this. Keep some distance from me."
Or "I have a girlfriend so restrain yourself from now on."
Wouldn't it be something like that?
Should I cancel the appointment? Should I tell him to meet me next time?
No, it won't do because he would try to pick another date if you cancel this one.
Call him around tomorrow noon and
lie to him that something came up last minute, last minute.
"Oppa,
my stomach suddenly started hurting-"
Not your stomach, just say something came up.
I'm saying, if you say you're sick, he'll just have you come to the hospital.
Oh, that's right, that's right.
"Oppa, I got a call from my club."
Hey, it's a phone call, a phone call. Just exclude anything unnecessary and
come straight to the point already.
And say "I'm sorry" at the end and hang up.
"Oppa, something came up in my club today. I don't think I can come tonight. I'M REALLY SORRY.
I will call you later."
Except "I will call you later".
Aish, when do I borrow money then?
Right. Don't you need to take your medicine now.
You said you need to take the herb medicine before dinner. Go take it and come back.
For God's sake, you remember just all kinds of things.
Don't worry about other people and just
stick your butt in like this.
I'll go eat my medicine and come back.
Monday, July 3 "D-Day"
Are you alright?
Aren't you going to watch TV? "A Sunny Spot for Young Men" (A Korean TV show) is on.
You like Lee Jong Won, In Bum (Character), don't you?
You guys watch.
I'm just going to sleep.
Did you get hurt somewhere?
No. Turn off the light.
Ok.
And also,
I like Bae Yong Joon, from now on.
Oh, really? I appreciate it.
Byun Tae, I think we can stop now.
I wish we could just skip classes and do this everyday.
We get to see girls, right? - That's right.
Na Jeong must be tired, she went right to bed.
What's up with that girl? She really likes Lee Jong Won.
Here.
Ah, yes.
She switched to Bae Yong Joon.
Bae Yong Joon...
W-Who? B-Bae Yong? Who's Bae Yong Joon?
You know there's this guy... The one, looking cheesy. What's his (character's) name?
Suk Joo. Ha Suk Joo. I like Suk Joo too.
This girl, you can't see far. Guys like him won't ever get popular.
This is it, for Bae Yong Joon. (He becomes internationally popular later)
Oh my, this girl likes plain guys, more plain than I thought.
Look at him. His face lacks impacts. It looks plain and boring.
Eh, what do you mean? I think Bae Yong Joon will get more popular.
Father, in my opinion, he will become most popular amongst them.
And also that girl, Jong Hee.
Who? - That, that girl.
T-That, who is she?
She's Jeon Do Yeon. Her acting is freakin' amazing.
No, no. She will never become popular. (She become the first Korean Actress to win best actress at Cannes Film)
She has a typical face of a supporting actress.
The streets are full of those faces, you know.
Uh, Jeon Do Yeon is pretty to me.
I think she will become really popular.
Ah, really, our Chil Bong has "batting eyes" but he doesn't have eyes for girls.
Hey, Bae Yong Joon and that Jeon Do... What is she preaching again? ("jeondo" = mission/preach) - Father, it's Jeon Do Yeon.
Right, right, Jeon Do Yeon. Look at their faces.
They don't have the face of lead actors and actresses.
If they become a movie star or an actor who represent Republic of Korea,
I'm going to burn my hand ("I will eat my hat"). [Jeon Do Young has won a Cannes acting award and many others.]
That's right, that's right.
Hey, honey. Aren't you kind of hungry?
Should we eat some noodles...?
Let's have really little portions.
Even if you ask for JUST a little. You won't get a little.
Aigoo, it's a lot of work. Just scrape and eat those rice grains.
Coach, what about spicy rice cake? Will you eat spicy rice cake?
What? Spicy rice cake...?
Chil Bong do you like spicy rice cake?
Ah... Yes... Spicy rice cake at the snack stall in front of the station is really delicious.
I'll buy some and be right back.
That friendly kid...
His butt is also light. (meaning "prompt to do anything")
I guess he really wanted to eat some.
Chil Bong usually doesn't it snack type of food.
By the way, spicy rice cake lover Sung Na Jeong will go crazy.
That girl, she didn't even have dinner and was singing for spicy rice cake all day.
Ah that's right.
What are Haitai and Sam Cheon Po doing not coming back?
Did they go to Rock Cafe or something?
No, they went to Non San. One of their friends is getting enlisted in the army tomorrow. So they went to see him off.
Is that so? They even went to the army recruit training center?
Wow, they are really faithful to their friend.
Faithful? What do you mean by faithful? They will chug down alcohol all night.
Ah, this friendship...
Really...
Hey, how would people without friends live?
You guys.
Hey, buddy.
Don't worry about anything, okay?
I will.. We will...
stand in front of the training center and
see you going in.
Until
we don't see the back of your head.
Like this... We will be waving our hands.
Let's smile!
Friend! Loyalty!
Do well.
Don't worry about anything.
Sunchang...
Sunchang.
Hey, it's not Sunchang but Suncheon.

What, you want to babysit him then, you wench?
You really don't want to come? We're having beef!
I don't want to. You guys go and eat a lot.
I heard you're going to a really famous place.
Did you say it's called "Mt. Halla"? Or was it "Mt. Baekdu?"
"Mt. Mudang", you wench.
That's the most famous meat place in Gangnam. It's 25,000 won ($25) per serving.
You're going to regret it. Are you really not coming?
Forget it.
I'm going to stay home and watch television. There's food right?
Yeah, rice is in the cooker. Help yourself. Let's go already before she changes her mind. The fewer mouths, the better.
Alright, alright.

Ah, yes.

Yes.

Yes.

I'm here for the mid-term scholarship.
Oh, really? Congratulations!
Are you in our major, too?
She's my girlfriend.
You even have a girlfriend now?
I-is that a surprise?
No, you two look great together.
What's your girlfriend's name?

Yes.
We can use this telephone, right? -Yes.
Hey, does this make sense?
It's definitely that cunning assistant professor's doing!
Wow, you guys are a scholarship couple.
But, professor. Jo Yoon Jin didn't receive (scholarship) this time.
Is that so?
There was another student with the same score as Yoon Jin's.
But Se Jin received it since she had higher GPA in her major.
Se Jin also took more classes in her major as well.
Oh, is that so. What a pity.
It's too bad but that's the regulation.
Damn it! Regulation, my butt!
Does she think I don't know that Se Jin is her high school junior?
That rotten b**ch.
That cunning assistant professor gave it to her junior from high school on her own.
Then she feels guilty and says things like that.
She said it's the regulation.
Do you think the assistant professor would do that on purpose?
Then she should've told me beforehand!
How can she not mention anything to me until now?
Then when the professor mentions it, then what does she say?!
Regulation or whatnot, and she gave it to Se Jin?
Is that something to say?
B*lls**t. Does she think I'm an idiot?!
I doubt it.
What can you do when that's the regulation?
Don't accuse an innocent person.
And it's definitely true that Se Jin took more classes in her major.
I saw it.
Oh, really?
That's why I didn't get the scholarship, right?
That's why your girlfriend didn't get a scholarship, huh?
Yeah, I know.
Right now, is that all you can say to your girlfriend? Huh?
When that fox-like assistant professor took away my scholarship!
She didn't take it away.
She said it's the regulation. Regulation.
Should I take your intestines out and make Jukgal (fermented in salt and spice) out of it?!
Say what you just said. Say it again.
Say what?
Regulation? Regulation? Say that again!
Oops, my bad. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. People are-
Watch your intestines.
I'm telling you to watch your intestines.
What about my intestines...
Speak properly.
I understand. I will speak properly.
Are you taking the assistant professor's side?
No, way. Why would I take her side?
You better talk properly. Yes, Ma'am.
Let's go.
Hey.
Let's talk.
About what? Ah, seriously.
I know!. We are sorry about that.
Do you think we did that on purpose?
Since our teams' ace has been injured,
do we need to bow ourselves down and await for our punishment?
We don't even have any games for a while. The selection of the national team is not until a month later.
Aren't you going overboard?
Then what about practices until then? Chil Bong can't play for at least 3 weeks.
If his shoulders get hardened and loses his feel, would you have been able to do it instead?
Will you be pitching?
It will heal soon.
Do you know how many are on his side?
The coach, the head coach, and oh, the team doctor.
Seems like you don't have to worry about him.
Why do you hate Chil Bong so much?!
Is him doing better give you a stomachache? (Are you that jealous of his abilities?)
Are you dying from hating him so much?!
That's right. I hate him.
I envy him so much, it gives me a stomachache.
Why doesn't he even break any bone?
You've gone crazy, haven't you?
You guys don't even know what is "the competition for starting members", do you?
God is so unfair.
His family is well off as well.
Chilbong's dad pays for the baseball team's meals once a month.
And on top of that, he gives a lot of presents to the coaches and managers during holidays.
A TV!
To my father who sells knock off socks at Namdaemoon market, he couldn't dream of buying a meal for the team.
He barely bought me a bat.
Damn it! What good does it do for a poor guy to be jealous.
Hey, hey we're sorry.
Please understand us, In Sung.
It's all because of our inferiority complex.
We are embarrassed as well.
That's right. It is embarrassing.
When options like us are able to attend the University, thanks to Chil Bong. We should be just grateful.
You graduated from Hui Moon High, right?
You, too.
Then you should both know well.
Since when was Chil Bong good?
Since when was he a starting member?
High school junior year. He was first selected during the quarter final match at Hwarang Championship.
Prior to that, he was a total bottom.
When you were a freshman, you were a #4 batter. When Bong was a freshman, all he did was hitting batting ball.
You know that very well.
But even then, he was not engrossed in an inferiority complex like you are now.
He chased his sunbaes (seniors) and kept begging them to teach him.
He woke up first and ran for an hour. After the afternoon training, he would do 500 shadow pitchings.
He started that training, starting 3rd grade in elementary school.
Since he started baseball, without leaving a day out.
Isn't he tenacious? I've never seen anyone so determined in my life.
"He really tries hard, but it doesn't work out.
I guess baseball is something you just have to be born with."
That's what I used to think. But one day, he started doing well all of a sudden.
Everyone thinks he's born with it.
In articles, reporters say he's a genius.
Chil Bong worked insanely hard.
Have you done as much as him?
I'm asking if you've done as much as Chil Bong!
Get angry at the guys who are born geniuses,
and please just be nice to Chil Bong.
Or just stop paying attention to him.
Also,
I just found out today for the first time that you guys are Chil Bong's options.
Chil Bong didn't say anything.
One more lemon soju over here!
You can't see effort.
All an eye can see is a result.
Therefore, other people's successes are credited as innate genius
or a mere luck.
I'm hot. Go sit over there.
Do they not give lemon sojus here?
Thank you.
We ordered before them, but how did you give [the lemon soju] to them first?
Ah, because they're professors...
But don't you have to keep the order?
I'm sorry.
It's alright.
It's a given that the professors should be served first.
Hey, are you okay?
Didn't you break something?
No, I think I'm just a little swollen.
I got an X-ray, so I guess the results will come out soon enough.
Hey, but what floor are you on? I'll come visit you.
Hey, where are you going to go on that leg?
Hey, I'm telling you it's just a little swollen!
But who did that to you anyway?
If you knew who it is, would you do something about it?
As if! When you are so scared.
beep, beep, beep
What's up, my Jeong? Aren't we supposed to meet a little later?
Oppa, I don't think I can go.
Yoon Jin is suddenly sick.
Oh, really?
Where is she sick?
I don't know. I just came home and she's like this.
Oh, her leg's hurt.
She can't walk because she hurt her foot.
She can't even go to the bathroom and the top of her foot is totally swollen.
What should I do? I'm sorry, Oppa.
I'll see you next time.
Just come even if you're late.
I said just come even if you're late.
I'm going to be here late anyway,
so see Yoon Jin off to sleep and come take a taxi here.
I think I'm going to be really late.
It's okay. Page me when you're coming over.
I'll be waiting outside.
Then I'll see you later.
Ah, she is not helping, really!
What do I do?
Yes. -You can eat it now.
Would you like more meat?
No, no. We are fine. We are full anyway.
What do you have to for meals?
We have nurungji and naengmyeon.
Soy bean soup comes with nurungji.
What do you want, Wife?
I want nurungji. (scorched rice, which gives nutty flavor)
Then, please give us one nurungji (scorched rice) and one naengmyeon (cold noodle soup).
Yes.
They stay right by us to serve us. Gangnam sure is different.
I didn't eat well because she was standing right next to me.
I liked it because it felt like we were being treated so well.
Also she kept telling us to eat undercooked meat.
Aigoo, this woman. You are supposed to grill beef quickly just front and back.
It tastes good.
Grilling pork belly on the portable stove at home would taste way better than this.
Aish, you!
You don't appreciate your husband's good intention. Ah, really, I'm really disappointed.
No, it was delicious.
By the way,
who is opening the all star match this year? If I know who's doing it, I might come see the game in a while.
Uh, that... "The Block" or "The Blue" or something?
How he went on patting his own back, saying how difficult it was to cast them. Aigoo, really.
I don't know what's good about "The Blue". ('90s vocal duo)
I heard their songs are cheerful and good.
You know there's one who always acting cool and all.
Ah, that Kim Min Jong?
Yeah, Kim Min Jong! He sings like this, holding his nose.
I don't understand at all what is attractive about him, with his skinny self.
Well, I heard he's really popular.
More popular than Son Ji Chang, or Bal Ji Chang? (Son = hand; Bal = foot)
What do you mean? Son Ji Chang is way more popular than him.
Kim Min Jong's popularity is no more than bubbles.
- Yes. -- Bon appétit. - Alright, alright.
Thank you.
-What's wrong? -Oh, no...
-What's wrong? -Next to us,
Kim Min Jong, there is Kim Min Jong.
Kim-
What do we do? Do you think he heard us?
He heard it. He heard it for sure.
Honey, are your eyes twisted or something? What were you doing, not noticing that?
Saying to your husband that his eyes are twi...!
What do we do?
I was the one who was cursing him, all you did was praise him.
What did you say? Didn't you say they sang well?
I said I couldn't tell if "The Blue" was good or not.
I said also that he goes around acting cool. He probably heard me say that too, right?
He couldn't have heard. There's some distance.
Didn't I say that his popularity was all bubbles, no?
He couldn't have heard. There's some distance.
Look at his expressions. What are they like?
He doesn't look very good, right? Isn't he looking this way?
He seems to be looking at this way every so often.
His expression?
It really doesn't look good.
I'm so sorry I could I die.
He'll think we did it on purpose.
Is that possible?
Don't Celebrities have this kind of situation a lot? He'll think of me as a strange woman.
There's no way that would happen.
Is he going?
Kim Min Jong paid with a card.
A card. With a card.
With a card? - Yup, with a card.
In Seoul,
it's a place where you can see celebrities even while eating a meal.
I was so surprised.
Give it a try.
I don't know what's so good about "The Blue".
Did you hear me?
But you didn't talk that loud earlier.
Turn it down a bit.
Ah.
There's one who goes around acting cool, isn't there?
I hear it loud and clear.
Kim Min Jong! Kim Min Jong!
You weren't that quiet earlier, talk a little louder.
Hello.
Mr. Kim Min Jong!
It's not that my wife didn't know (you were here), but she was just joking around.
Pardon?
You're coach Sung Dong Il, right?
Ah, yes. I'm sorry.
Oh, your fist is big.
Sung Dong Il: Summer 1995 to you Min Jong-nim
This is really a honor, coach Sung Dong Il.
To you Min Jong-nim. I really like it!
I'm a total fan of the Seoul Twins.
It's possible to win this year, too, right?
Of course.
Since you're wearing normal clothes, I didn't recognize you at first, I'm sorry.
This must be your grandchild?
Yes.
Ah, yes.
Really pretty.
It's a daughter, right?
Yes.
I feel like I am interrupting your dinner.
Then I'll see you at the "All Star Game" at the baseball stadium.
- Yes. - Min Jong-nim, Thank you!
Thank you see you again.
Mr. Kim Min Jong.
Ah, yes. Autograph...?
I'll do it for you. What is the name of the restaurant?
That's not it.
Your card...
It came out as exceeding your credit limit.
Pardon?
Card... Credit limit..
Ah, I...
Some time ago, I bought a car with the card.
Use this one.
Card... I bought... a car... I have this.
Please use this one.
Eat well.
He must have bought a nice one. A foreign car.
It says this was processed as being lost.
Pardon?
Ah, yes.
Ah, seriously.
This one has suspended transactions.
This is a call card.
Ah, yes. Aigoo.
Then I'll pay with cash...
Ah, here...
Your table together with his table has come to
548,000 won ($548) altogether.
Ah, yes.
I ate well, Coach.
I'll send you the money right away.
If it doesn't deposit,
call me with this number,
and I will send it right away.
I'll see you again, Coach.
-Bye princess. -It's a son.
I still can't tell kids apart.
Look, what did I tell you?
I told you he is really not cool.
Just by looking at him, he'll never get married.
If he gets married before 40, I'll burn my hand.
You woman, what are you saying such malicious talk?
When I look at him, he seems amiable and his face looks good too.
When else would we ever get a celebrity's number?
What will come from knowing Kim Min Jong's number?
Hey, there's a use for everything.
Walking Binggrae, are you working out?
Yes.
Aren't you off today?
I just finished.
How about it? Shall we have a refreshing walk around?
It's really hard right?
Let's go.
You take this now.
Aren't you bored?
Should I bring you some books?
It's alright. Sung Gyun is planning to bring it over soon.
Oh, what book? Do you have any book you're reading lately?
Yes, it's a computer book.
I'm computer illiterate, if you remember.
I figured I should try to learn, while I have some time.
Sung Gyun must be busy dating lately, do you think he has the time to come to the hospital?
What about Chil Bong? I guess he's busy right now, too, right?
Sunbae, you don't know?
Chil Bong's injured.
He said a fence or something really heavy fell.
Really?
Did he get badly hurt? Where did he get hurt?
His leg.
Leg?
Yes, to be specific, his foot.
He says it's swollen.
He's not that badly hurt, but
the coach must have been very mad,
saying that an athlete needs to be more careful.
He'll be ok, right?
Ah, Sung Gyun's here.
This is it, right?
Yes, thank you.
I'm leaving.
Alright, are you going home?
No.
You guys can talk.
Bye.
Can you really operate a computer very well within a week of reading this?
Isn't it that you can do only as well as that guy?
What? Is someone else supposed to come?
Huh? No.
Seeing Trash at the hospital makes him look normal.
That's right. Is Chil Bong hurt badly?
I heard he hurt his foot.
He isn't hurt too bad.
Ah, he's in this hospital. He'll be coming up soon.
Is that right?
Why is your face so red?
I drank some liquor.
Don't date.
You can't communicate.
She is talking Russian, I tell you!
You're full of it.
What are you doing?
I have no where to go. I have no friends and no girlfriend either.
I'm just going to just sleep my head off.
Oh yeah, didn't you say that you were meeting someone tonight?
Yes. - A woman?
Yeah.
Who? Are you going on a blind date?
- You don't need to know. - Huh?
I said there's no need for you to know. Give me a cigarette.
Why? I guess things aren't going so well with that daughter, are they?
I haven't even started. Give me the light too.
Light.
Hurry up!
Just take my money, too, why don't you!
Oh, Yoon Jin! What do I do?
Alright,
just say the things you need to say and come back.
Try it.
Good, good, good.
I did it! That's fine, right?
It's just perfect, perfect.
You really are something.
As soon as you see him...
This pose, huh, just show him this and tell him to give you the money, alright?
- Mhmm. - Mm.
Initially, just get the $300, and after that...
Club president.
Tell him that you became club president and to congratulate you.
But I didn't get it yet.
Just tell him that you got it.
And just cut him off whenever he tries to tell you something.
Then I'll page you right at that moment.
You call my beeper first.
No, page me every 5 minutes.
Then I'll set it to vibrate and when the time's right, I'll put it back on sound.
Alright, alright.
Then I'll keep calling your beeper from the time you get to the hospital.
I don't know. I don't know. It's ok. First, tackle and see. A one-on-one face-off.
Yeah, yeah.
- I'm going. Let's do this. - Good luck
Come back soon.
I'm leaving.
♫ Does it all happen now past midnight? ♫
♫ I think I still hear your voice. ♫
♫ It seems as though you are still at my side. ♫
♫ The tears of regret are falling. ♫
♫ When was it on a bench in a small park, you took my hands and kissed me?♫
♫ Now, left in my brief memory is my sad night crying at the time. ♫
♫ When you told me it was too late ♫
♫I was unable to say anything, while the tears flowed ♫
♫ By the emptiness you left ♫
When you hear the beep sound leave your message. ♫ I'm secretly visiting the remnants. ♫
Oppa it's me.
Where are you? I'm in front of the hospital.
♫ I will look at you. ♫
Yo, Binggrae.
Where did Sung Kyun go?
He went to make a phone call.
Were you alone?
No.
Were you alone?
No.
Being admitted to a hospital seems to be a bit overboard.
You should still listen to what the coach says.
Why are you here?
That is what I am wondering too...
I've been taking CT scans to X-rays all day...I want to go home.
Oppa, I've succeeded in doing the horse stance.
I told you I would succeed within a day!
You have the money ready, right? 300,000 won.
I'm in front of the hospital right now, so
come out with the money quickly. Okay?
Here, you know where there are two pay phone stalls?
Uh...it sort of looks like it's the front gate.
It seems like the front gate where the two payphone booths are.
Aren't you going to run over here?
Oppa, I succeeded.
Look.
This is good, right? I did it, right?
You succeeded. Congratulations. Now hurry up!
Give me the 300,000 won now.
Give it to me.
I get it. I'll give it to you so hurry up and come here!
Quickly!
♫ When what you say crosses my mind, I laugh. ♫
♫ but you probably wouldn't know how I feel. ♫
♫ I love everything about you, but ♫
♫ Right now, I am scared of what lies ahead.♫
♫ Too many thoughts are blocking you but ♫
♫ Seeing me makes you laugh, ♫
♫ I am just thankful ♫
♫ You still have a pure heart that's very beautiful♫
♫ But I wonder why everything is difficult ♫
♫ The world will surely change ♫
♫ Think about it. Think about it. It's only some difficult thing. ♫
♫ Sometime I feel my warm gaze is being disregarded and you're turning your head away.♫
♫ Can you know that everyone's attention is on you? ♫
♫ Do you know my heart that's like this? ♫
♫ Hurting your feelings ♫
♫ I don't want to ♫
♫ Just doing this. ♫
♫ Adults always say to me ♫
♫ That you still have a lot of things that you don't know. ♫
♫ I hope I won't change your pure feeling.
Hey, what is all this? Can you move some of it so I can sit?
Someone left this for you earlier.
For me?
Who?
I don't know. He seemed to be part of the baseball team.
♫ You are leaving and it's raining. ♫ The Start of the End by Lee Moon Se
If you are feeling sorry, just say so.
What's up with the presents?
Hey, how come there is no knockoff for ____?
I could probably wear all those until my retirement!
It's fine, punk.
They said it's slightly fractured. There is no need to worry about it.
If you're that worried, you should come visit at the hospital.
It's fine, it's fine.
Thanks to you I don't need to go to practice.
Thanks.
By the way, Gi Rong,
do you have a mentor?
You don't know what a "mentor" is? You ignorant SOB.
Your life's teacher or counselor!
Do you have someone who you like and respect?
Of course, I do!
Oh, you do? Who is it?
Yogi Berra.
Oh. Yogi Berra?
New York Yankees' catcher?
Yep. He became a coach later.
Yeah...I know, but why him?
He said a very famous quote...
♫ Please go far away from me ♫
♫ Before I begin to weep ♫
Hello?
Oh! Yes. Hello.
Have you been well?
Excuse me? What did you say?
Where is he going?
What? Oh my goodness, what do we do?
Seriously?
Yes. -What's up?-Haitai
is going to the army.
Well, of course he does as a Republic of Korea male citizen.
No! I mean tomorrow. He's going to the army tomorrow!
Like I said, tomorrow...He's going tomorrow?
Yes.
When did you get the notice?
Oh my goodness. Really?
♫ You... Will I have a hard time? ♫
♫ Although your eyes are troubled. ♫
I don't know what in the world is happening!
These little rotten b*stards ate expensive food,
and did such crazy things.
So anyway,
That reserve forces jerk at the town office!
He completely forgot about the enlistment letter all this time, and just now, he took it out.
Really. There are things in this world he shouldn't forget!
Really, what do we do about this? It's too much that it's killing me!
I was going to lodge a suit against the country mercilessly,
but if he doesn't promptly report by tomorrow morning
to Nonsan training center, then he'll be regarded a deserter. A deserter!
That damn reserve force idiot! I knew he would cause trouble!
This won't do.
I'm going to go and burn down that town office.
So, let's see each other on the news.
♫ When I have my first leave, I'll probably be embarrassed with my cropped hair. ♫
Na Jeong, you have a phone call from your oppa.
How does our Chil Bong speak so well?
Hello?
Oh. Is it you, Oppa?
I was reading a book.
Did you eat yet?
I'm taking good care to eat all the good food,
and I'm managing it.
Most players seem to have one baseball player as their mentor.
By any chance, if you have a baseball player as a mentor you respect, who is it?
I did not have anyone previously, but I just recently found one.
New York Yankees' Yogi Berra.
He is a player who is more famous for his quotes than his skills.
Of all his quotes, what would your favorite be?
I really liked this one the best:
"It ain't over 'til it's over."
That's right! Life starts at the end of 9th inning, after 2 outs!
Oh, by the way, Dear, did you put in the order for the galbi?
Order something extra special this time.
Thank you everyone. Let's give congratulations to our groom and bride, once more.
Thank you. I'm Kim Min Jong. Once more, applause please.
How do you two know each other?
Who did this for you? How did you convince him?
He is my husband's fan.
They've known each other for about seven to eight years.
Oh, my!
For so many who enter a field of study to have results,
the hours needed to succeed in their field,
is ten thousand hours, they say.
The ten-thousand-hour principle.
Mozart, Beatles,
Steve Jobs, and Kim Yun A, too.
Their success was not due to prodigious talent or good fortune but
due to their tireless hard work and suffering.
Perhaps that applies to work, relationships, and love.
To finish with achievement,
instead of waiting for good fortune or talent,
one should put in endless efforts and must go through hardships.
I love you. I am forever your fan! Thank you!
"It ain't over 'til it's over."
Thank you!
Applause! Applause!
Year 2013, City of Seoul
Your dad is really the best. The best.
Because he wanted to give a congratulatory wedding performance for his daughter,
he sent Kim Min Jong galbi for eight years.
Maybe it's because he played sports, he really has a persistent nature.
He really is the best.
Ka Talk (Kakao Talk: Korean Text messaging system)
Damn it! she has to show off how he is working like this!
What's wrong? Who is it?
My team leader. You know the old Miss!
She said that she would finish the end of the year project by herself, so
I just said to contact me if she needs anything out of courtesy.
Yeah?
But she sends me messages constantly asking me to find her files.
If she just searches online, she'll find them herself.
How annoying!
Still, she is working alone. Isn't it obligatory for you to-
That b*tch!
She is a total b*tch!
Hey, if she is working by herself and needs help finding files, sending messages-
She still shouldn't do that, though!
She should take care of her own work by herself!
She really is a b*tch!
Give it to me. Give me your cell phone!
I really won't hold back today!
Fine. Try it. Give her a call.
Seriously! Does she know what time it is right now?
Really! She is doing this because she is jealous of my Yoon Jin's prettiness!
Hey, hey! Do it in moderation! Moderation!
Just because Yoon Jin is dealing with it and not saying anything,
she is belittling her!
You know how she is. My Yoon Jin can be a really scary person!
You know...
Stop it! Stop it!
She is someone who would pour out cyanide.
She is someone who would make Jukgal with intestines. I have to tell her off! I can't take it anymore!
Hold on!
This is her. This is her, right? Bald Dog Meat, right?
I'm going to kill her!
Oh. Excuse me, Team Leader?
Have you been well?
Oh, yes. Yoon Jin is currently sleeping so
I read the Kakao Talk message.
If it's something urgent, should I
wake her up?
Yes...you're okay, right?
Coach-nim, is Mother also, doing well?
I am doing well.
My bare floor family is taking good care of me.
It hurts. I said it hurts!
Agoo!
I am slowly getting used the army life...
Hurry up and follow me, you b*stard!
New recruit is laughing.
It is not as hard as I thought it would be.
Today really is the last night.
It seemed like tonight would be your last night with Na Jeong so...
This is my girlfriend, Sung Na Jeong.
Give it up. Na Jeong likes Sunbae-nim.
If right now isn't the time,
then I have to wait.
