Ready!
Hey, it's Ha Ji Man! Ha Ji Man!
Attention please.
Today, Korea's debut marathon runner,
Heo Ji Man will be running together with everyone.
Before the starting gun,
Please get ready at the starting line.
Why didn't you tell me?
Do your best. You need to win.
It's only half so you can do it.
I'll also try my best in the front.
Yeah.
Ready!
Episode 3
Do your best. You need to win.
It's only half so you can do it.
I'll also try my best in the front.
Hey! Hey, you!
What is that kid doing?
He's forgetting his pace. What's he going to do then?
Who's that?
Over there!
Why did you do that?
Why did you suddenly go solo?
I'm sorry.
I liked you for nothing.
Heo Ji Man was running from the Seoul-Incheon district office, and everyone was full of enthusiasm.
I thought you got first place. I got a skinned knee. What's so good about it?
Don't be so hard on him.
In truth, tail hair was trying to bring down Dae Gu and win.
That's why he told the judges about us. That's the source of the problem.
But, what's "ma-pro-ize"
Are we "ma-pro-ize"?
You didn't know that and ran hand in hand with us?
At an amateur competition, a professional comes out and seizes the prize.
They call people like us "ma-pro-ize".
But there are no athletic rankings here.
Did you forget?
He got cut, but he is of athletic ranking.
Because you got out, I was able to really run for the first time in a long while.
The reward money was canceled, but I feel good.
Cut the bull, shut up.
Why did you do it? I want to know the reason.
Huh?
What do you mean why?
The prize money looked good, that's why he did it.
Ku Dae Gu.
I wanted to win.
Who?
Against Heo Ji Man?
Yes.
Crazy fool.
If you suddenly increased your pace and fell, what would you do then?
They say the greed for victory can kill a person.
Kids, let's go.
Where are you going?
How should I know?
Wherever we sleep is our home and the sky is our blanket.
Will I see you again?
Why should I?
This event went so well, you're going to the majors,
so why should I come back?
I like the minors.
These "ma-pro-ize" people should disappear from marathons.
If you started this because you needed money, then
you can get more money and could have honestly grown bigger.
Why all of a sudden?
What do you mean "Ji Man's pace maker"?
You never said anything like that.
Did you really think you would start off running a full course?
Plus, you guys were childhood friends.
Isn't it good then?
You'll help each other to succeed.
Isn't that true?
What's the problem?
The money...
will it get deposited today?
You little... Of course.
Here.
Sign right here.
But, why did you run only half then stop?
If it's something you don't want to talk about, fine.
OK.
Where did you get the money so suddenly?
What did you do to get paid?
They had a huge catch of giant crabs. Over one ton.
Is that true?
Yes. If you don't believe me, go there and ask.
Then, you don't need to repay that money?
Yes, I told you.
I kept you waiting so long.
In forming a new team, a new training partner is needed.
At the gym, a physical therapist, a nutritionist. We'll only hire the best.
You found someone to assist Ji Man to run faster.
Yes.
While running, he controls the pace. The pace maker.
Look at this.
Supervisor Hwang.
Whoever this pace maker is,
how can you use someone who's never run a full marathon?
Look at the next page.
Have you noticed something quite special there?
He's quite an amazing half marathon runner.
There's such a runner like this?
Who is this person?
Come in.
Heo Ji Man's pace maker.
Let me introduce Ku Dae Gu.
Why are you so full of surprises?
Running again, coming out to the competition.
And now you want to run with me?
Why? You don't like it?
What's not to like?
It's a good thing.
Plus, I can reminisce about the past.
Can you teach me a lot of things?
It's been a while since I stopped.
A guy like that can run that well?
You really are the strongest in half marathons.
Hey, you've finally returned, Ku Dae Gu.
Tomorrow we start training, so come prepared.
I will.
I'm asking you for a lot of help.
Hey, you're putting a lot of strength into your hand.
It feels like a stamp.
Why does it have to be him?
The numbers don't lie.
The data says it all.
During that civilian marathon, you went all in.
Didn't you set a record for the half course?
I wonder what the reason was.
That day, I was in good condition.
No.
That day, you were definitely over your pace.
I've compared all your running stats,
but I've never seen you run like that before.
I'm always giving my all every time.
You're not suggesting that I was running faster because of that guy.
Whether it's right or not, we'll know when you start training with him tomorrow.
You're a smart athlete, so you'll know how to use this good opportunity.
Hey, hey, hey.
Starting today, we're going to train with a goal of being the country's representative.
You are strong, but don't let it get to your head.
Ki Wan, with little more effort you have a great chance.
Make sure to concentrate on getting a spot.
Yes.
Ku Dae Gu.
As Ji Man's pace maker, run well.
Dong Moon.
You still have a long ways to go, kid.
Son Il. Just like Dae Gu, you are Ji Man's pace maker. Run well.
Yes.
All right. Everyone prepare yourselves.
Start!
Your start was too slow!
Everything is so fresh.
This looks delicious.
Aigoo - isn't this Dae Gu's father?
Yes.
This doesn't look very good.
What are you talking about? Today's catch is good and fat.
Give me a little of that.
He's a valuable customer, so pick the best one.
All right.
A while ago, you had a large catch of giant crabs.
Giant crabs?
Yes. Over one ton!
All right.
Why?
Did you pay Dae Gu a lot of money?
Money?
Ye... Yes, yes, yes! Of course I did!
I gave him a lot of money!
I got it.
- How much? - $10.
Have a good day.
Have a safe trip home.
That old man... Wow wow wow
Stop.
Let's hurry up.
Here.
Ku Dae Gu.
Come see me for a minute.
Why do you run out of strength as soon as you pass the half?
To keep up with Heo Ji Man's pace,
you need to always be within 2 steps.
I know.
Since you're good at half, I'm not worried about 20km.
But the next starting point, you need to run 30km.
Because, after 20km, your energy drops significantly.
That's a big problem.
I will try my best.
Why?
Because you received money?
In one month, if you can't run 30km to meet my standards,
you know you have to return double your fee, right?
Yes.
This is Ji Man's schedule.
Clear your schedule and practice with him at every moment.
What? He's running with you?
He'll do well. Don't worry.
Ji Man.
While the two of you are running, I don't want Dae Gu to get hurt.
You're always just worried about Dae Gu.
That's because you run so well, you jerk.
"Jerk"?
That's because I'm an athlete.
How can you compare me with Dae Gu.
What are you doing here?
Oh?
There's something wrong with my bicycle.
Where's Ahjussi?
He stepped out for a minute.
I heard you're running with Ji Man.
Yeah.
You must have come from meeting Ji Man.
That "pace maker" thing...
That...
You running, giving every last drop of strength,
and Ji Man receives that strength from you, wins and gets a medal.
And you just lie there.
If you put it that way, I guess it is.
This isn't all... Because of money, right?
At first you needed the money, that's why you started.
But now it's not, right?
What do you want to say?
You.
You want to beat Ji Man.
It's not like that.
Pretty soon, he'll be bringing home a gold medal representing the country.
So please, take good care of him.
If there's anything else you need, just say it.
There's nothing.
For your meals,
I ordered some really tender beef to suit your taste.
I requested from the nutritionist that you need to eat 600g.
Make sure you eat it when you can.
You need to give it your all if you want to represent the country.
Training since you were a child,
isn't this the reason why we want the medal?
The Mayor has extremely high expectations from you.
All the sweat you've poured, make sure it's not in vain.
I am giving my best right now.
Dae Gu! This is the last sprint!
Run like hell!
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
This is below the record.
After the half course, to 30km, it falls drastically.
It won't work like this.
Making Ji Man the representative of the country is my goal.
I have no choice but to think of another way.
Coach.
What I need is a pace maker that can carry Ji Man for 30km.
Give me one more chance.
One month hasn't passed.
Ku Dae Gu.
Listen well.
Ability is not something that happens over time.
If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
Even if you put in 99% of the effort, if you're short by 1%
There's nothing left but to give up.
Oh, you're Ku Dae Gu, right?
It's not easy being a pace maker.
Aside from the physical burden,
The mental burden is quite big.
You might end up dying.
Ahh, I'm jealous.
Some people get to ride on a friend's coat tail.
Dang, I told you to stop.
Teamwork is the most important, but you're always stirring up something.
You talking to me like this is admitting defeat for your lack of talent.
Did you know?
- You little... - Don't do it.
If it's not true, then try to win at least one.
Our meals and sweat are the same.
Yet you don't improve at all.
Hey!
- Are you finished? - If I'm wrong, try to win.
Whenever you want, I'll race you.
Hey, why are you guys like this?
You're making the atmosphere tense.
Hey, relax.
Let's go eat. Eat.
The restaurant will close.
Weren't you a little over sensitive?
During competition, doesn't everyone become overly sensitive?
If I could, I'd make the day come sooner.
I wish you would step up also.
It looks like you aren't improving.
Starting tomorrow, focus on distance.
After you run with constancy, you'll get the feel for it.
Why?
Are you nervous because you might fail because of me?
No.
To be number 1, everyone must adjust to me.
Even the weather and luck.
Let me ask you one thing.
Why did you want to run with me?
You want an honest answer?
Of course.
I'm doing it because that responsibility has been given to me.
I can't say I'm running for you just yet.
I can't even take care of myself.
What?
Are you upset?
That's fine.
Because even without a pace maker,
I've been able to come this far.
For a pace maker,
do you know what the number 1 rule is?
It's... throwing away your desire to win.
Why do you run out of strength as soon as you pass the half?
Dae Gu.
What was it then?
When I was running back, at that moment I remembered leaving my brother
I thought about the reasons that challenged me that day.
I couldn't run.
Since you're good at half, I'm not worried about 20km.
But the next starting point, you need to run 30km.
Because, after 20km, your energy drops significantly.
That's a problem.
If you practice, you can overcome it.
It's because you keep thinking you can't do it.
You keep thinking you'll mess up right at that moment, which makes it worse.
Do you really think if I practice, I'll do well?
Of course.
That's why don't give up.
If you give up now without trying, in the future,
you'll get scared whenever you see a trumpet.
Just go for it.
I'll try, teacher.
Thank you.
See, you are a teacher, encouraging the kids and all.
What is this?
The city symphony orchestra is recruiting.
There's even a piano category.
Oh my.
Thank you, Sunbae.
[Schedule]
What are you doing?
Are you hurt?
No.
Isn't that medicine on your foot?
You are hurt.
It's nothing much. I scratched it at work.
Let's go.
Let's go home.
- Let's go home and talk. - Father, just a moment.
Moment, what moment?
- Come here! - Father.
Hello, Father.
Ji Man, did you coerce him to run together?
No.
I said I wanted to.
Have you lost your mind?
Now your father's words mean nothing?
Father.
Dae Gu is past the age of getting your consent.
What?
You can run all you want by yourself, Dae Gu will not.
Why are you like this, coming here and all?
It's not just now,
but even after I die, I'll come and get you.
Come!
While you were running, your brother died.
Yet you still want to run? Huh?
Father!
Let's go now!
Come right now!
You... Started again?
I'm going get a stick to break your legs!
Tell me exactly why can't I do it?
You're asking because you don't know? Huh?
Hyung would have been in an accident whether he ran or not that day.
Hyung died because he was mentally challenged, not because of running.
Since he was mentally challenged,
it was our responsibility to look after him.
Make sure he didn't get into an accident.
How much more did I have to look after him?
Because of Hyung, I couldn't do anything.
Was there ever a time when you thought of me first?
Do you know how much I gave up to look after Hyung?
Fine, I'm glad you mentioned that.
Since you gave up so much,
shouldn't you try to live a comfortable life now?
You don't have anyone to look after.
Not work so hard.
You have to go through training.
That's right, I am training.
I'm telling you that I want to run to my heart's desire,
so why are you stopping me?
Don't do it.
There are a lot of other things you can do.
Do you really want to see me die?
Father.
Father! Father!
Haeng Joo!
Ji Man.
What are you doing here?
Are you here for an audition?
Ah... They said they were recruiting.
So I just wanted to confirm and check it out.
But why is your expression like that?
What if I fail again?
Don't worry.
This time, you'll do really well.
Are you coming after training?
Yeah.
Where's Dae Gu?
Well...
It seems like he suffered great trauma to his brain.
After it stabilizes, he'll be fine.
What are you going to do now?
Well...
What should I do?
You need to do what you think is right.
I'm running.
Yeah.
I received money.
The issue with my dad,
it was a mountain I needed to climb one day anyways.
Then,
hurry up and figure out how you can improve your running.
Sorry I'm not good enough.
I won't make you avoid me.
That's not good enough.
If you're going to be like that, quit now.
I think that'll be the best for me.
Hey, Heo Ji Man.
Don't you think you're being a little too much?
You have no idea what I'm feeling right now.
What I'm thinking every single day.
It's feels like I'm being skinned alive.
How much sharper do you want to be?
You'll cut yourself.
Yeah, so don't get too close.
You just need to concentrate on yourself.
You know what I'm saying, right?
I'm glad you get it.
Hey!
What you just said.
Even if I try and get the results,
it doesn't matter when you're running?
Dae Gu.
Do you want it as much as I do?
Why are you running?
When I run,
my heart starts to beat really fast.
It feels like my heart is going to explode.
Tha-thump.
My heart,
it feels like there are 2 hearts beating.
What does that mean?
It feels like I'm running with another person's heart.
Dae Oh hyung.
It looks like your father is severely opposed.
So, we were thinking of looking for someone else.
Ku Dae Gu.
I think you're just cut out for only half.
I can do it.
Please let me continue.
If it's because of the money, you can pay back slowly.
It's really not that much.
Besides, your father and I know each other.
No.
Our promised date has not passed yet.
Please let me run better.
Let me run faster than I am now.
So my father can be reassured.
I'll show you when the time comes.
My father needs to see it.
What are you going to do?
I won't do it.
You're dead set against it, so how can I do it?
All right. You made the right decision.
I don't want you getting involved in running.
I may not know much, but that's a very difficult sport.
Even now it's not too late to study hard and become a prosecuting attorney.
Why do you keep wanting to run?
Come here.
What's going on all of a sudden?
All of a sudden?
You're the one that's all of a sudden!
- Come with me. - What is it?
What's this?
Why is this stuffed in your trash can?
Why aren't you answering me?
What is this?
Mom.
I had suspicions that something was up.
You suddenly came down from Seoul and you're not even thinking about going back.
You're saying a senior asked you to do something, that's why you're here.
So what's true and what's a lie?
Say something!
I'm sorry, Mom.
- Truthfully... - Did you get cut?
You... Never even made it, right?
You failed, right?
Aigoo...
You're the only one I can call family.
How can you do this to me?
How many years have you been lying to me?
It's because you'd be disappointed.
Remember what you said?
When I went to Seoul and got in after the audition.
It was the happiest day of your life.
So how could I take that away?
Even if I had to lie,
During that moment when you didn't know, you could be happy.
How could I take away that happiness?
Even if I'm in the same situation again,
I'll lie.
You...
This is the last sprint!
Run!
Time!
Time! Time!
Ku Dae Gu.
You still have a long ways to go.
You don't have much time before the last test. Do you know?
And Heo Ji Man.
Did you forget the outcome of the competition is determined by the final sprint?
I did not.
Then why were you dragging?
When you were coming in, your form and head were falling back!
Your last sprint, get your form like Dae Gu.
Got it?
Coach.
Why aren't you guys running?
Ki Wan!
This is the last sprint!
Get in!
Chul Gi!
Why aren't you running? RUN!
HEY!
Haeng Joo! You have a call.
Yes!
Here.
Hello?
Yes, I am Moon Haeng Joo.
Yes.
Excuse me?
Really?
I understand.
Yes, thank you.
What is it?
I got in.
The city audition, I made it.
Is that true?
Aigoo. Good. You did well.
You are my daughter, after all.
Mom, you're not disappointed that it's not Seoul's orchestra?
What are you talking about?
Kangnam or a no-name town or Seoul or a deserted island,
What's best is doing what you want to do.
My happiness was because I thought you were happy.
You dimwit.
Mom.
There... There...
Congratulations.
Thank you. Thank you.
But, what is your relationship with Heo Ji Man?
Excuse me?
Is he your boyfriend?
What are you saying?
It's nothing, you can leave.
Your name?
Lee Eom Bi.
Congratulations. One moment.
Excuse me.
Did Heo Ji Man come by here before?
Yes. With his father.
Before the audition?
Yes.
Could you step aside? The others...
This...
If I didn't make it on my ability...
Then cancel it please.
What do you want to say?
Stop stalling and tell me.
Mom.
Mom, you said...
If I do what I want to, you'll be happy.
Yeah.
I...
For now, I want to continue teaching the kids.
Why?
Did something go wrong?
Haeng Joo.
The professor there and my father know each other so...
Heo Ji Man, are you stupid?
If I got in that way, did you think I'd be happy and yell, "Hurray"?
Why do you have to crush my remaining pride?
What does your pride have to do with this?
This is something you wanted to do and if you didn't make it, you might have a setback.
A setback.
That's nothing to me.
I always had that and I'm having it right now.
That's always been near me like the air around me!
How could someone like you understand.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know what to do.
Ji Man, you're a good person and all.
But, even when you were a kid,
you never understood what it felt like to lose.
That's why Dae Gu gets hurt.
Haeng Joo.
When we were in Seoul, you said this.
With your father, you'll come see a performance.
That you'll introduce me properly.
I'm sorry I have to say this to someone standing in front of me.
Let's just be friends.
I don't want anything more.
Is it because of Dae Gu?
Why can't you answer me?
You've said this several times now!
I'm asking you to wait one month.
Will this be enough?
This little amount, what could I possibly use it for?
Man, people are so vicious.
What are you doing here?
What do you mean?
I had nowhere to go, so I came back.
What about the others?
They need to make their own living.
They can't keep following me.
You can't break your record.
I have to run 30km at a constant speed,
But after 20km, my legs give out.
Of course.
Because you think you only need to run 30km.
What?
Stand up.
I told you to stand up.
In school, did you have distance jumps?
How far could you jump?
Well... Around 2m.
Jump it.
Why you...
I guess I can't do as well as before.
Jump it again.
I can't jump that far.
Just try it.
Stand exactly where you are and turn around.
See how much you jumped.
Do you get it now?
It doesn't seem like a big deal, right?
But, it's because everyone in a hundred only look at this and jump.
Dang man. If I had dreamt of becoming a President, my life wouldn't be like this.
Dang man.
You're the pace maker,
but you can't even follow your own pace.
If you have to run 30km,
make your goal the full 40km.
So, even if 40km is too hard, you'll definitely pass 30km.
Didn't you say you wanted to win?
Take that desire to win and completely get rid of it.
Then without even realizing it, you've won.
Are you OK?
That's because you're not eating these days.
You want to die running without eating anything?
To be able to run a full course, you need a lot of carbohydrates.
So a week before the race, you have to rid your body of all carbohydrates
and right before the race, fill up with flour based carbs.
That's why you haven't touched a grain of rice for a week?
This is something I've always done before a race.
I should be used to this by now, but once in a while, my stomach turns.
Haeng Joo!
- Haeng Joo! - Yeah!
Some ice.
What's going on?
On racing days, this is the medicine.
Since we ran so much today,
our muscles are a given, but our cartilage and ligaments also will be on fire.
If you just cool off, you'll get injuries.
Just sink in up to your neck.
When you run,
for a moment, you feel as if you can't take another step.
You might have felt that today.
You know comes to mind then?
I'd rather run onto the truck accompanying the race.
Since I can't do that,
I wish the truck would hit me instead.
Be careful.
Thanks.
But before you fall into that situation,
it'll be better to give up.
It sounds like you're saying, if I don't want to die, give up now.
Yeah. You're right.
Since you put it that way,
I want to get to that point.
This is the last sprint!
That's it! More!
Time!
OK!
How did you do it?
On my 99% ability, I put in 1% effort.
You little...
Good. Get ready for festival.
Pretty soon, you could even beat Heo Ji Man.
You're here.
Yes.
How's your father?
After the hospital, he's become much better.
Then, you're not running?
Yes.
Ji Man will be disappointed.
Yes.
Where's Haeng Joo right now?
What are you looking for?
Is it for a birthday?
No.
By chance, do you have something to give as an apology?
Oh, for your girlfriend?
Yes.
I'll be going out to help Ji Man represent the country.
I just needed to run fast for 30km,
But I want to run further.
Who knows,
I might really become the representative for the country.
That's good.
You look like you're in a bad mood.
I went to the city's audition, but I failed again.
You can try again next time.
Are you saying that so easily because it's not about you?
If you couldn't go out to assist in the race,
could you have said, "Try again next time"?
Why are you so mad?
You would have been desperate!
I was desperate too!
But it's not possible now.
I should have kept it a secret from Ji Man.
I shouldn't have told him.
Is it so important to impress Ji Man?
When you came back from Seoul, it was like that.
You really want to look good for him?
Even by deceiving him?
What?
You really have no idea what I'm feeling.
Why I couldn't tell Ji Man, yet I told you everything.
You really don't know?
I want to get closer to you.
Because I like you. Dummy.
No.
It's not that you like me.
I'm just comfortable.
You can tell me all the sad and pitiful things.
Because I don't have anything.
You really are dumb.

Don't run for anyone else. Do it for yourself.
You don't think you came this far by yourself?
I hope you're not thinking that you're running just for yourself.
I don't want to be friends with you anymore.
I know how you feel, but I can't get myself to feel the same.
That's just an excuse.
You don't have the confidence because of Ji Man.
If you have a lot on your mind, you can't run. Empty it.
Don't feel guilty.
Now your hyung can run with you.
Hyung, I'm sorry.
Father, I want to see what's at the end. I want to run to the finish.
