it didn't ring.
- let me see. - believe me!
the cell-phone network sucks! they should fix it as soon as possible!
right..you're not that kinda girl who's late for appointment and doesn't give a call.
it's cell-phone network's fault!
you changed your hair style!
pretty..
when a girl is too pretty, it's so tough for a guy to handle, you know.
Min-ah,
I can't even imagine a world without you.
Min-ah,
marry me.
BIG news! Hye-ryun came back from USA.
let me see your hand.
just let me see..
I'm so sorry to say this, but.. forget about today's propose.
what?
well, I'm so busy right now.
your hairstyle looks good on you!
The constitutional law is..
generally speaking..
excuse me.
where's Hye-ryun?
she's left.
she's left?
excuse me.
you guys should stop her..
oh, you're so..

I'm sorry.
( books about law )
hey,
hey!
you took my book.
I'm sorry?
I said,
why you took my book?
I'm sorry.. I was just sleeping..
library is not a place to sleep in.
don't sleep here.
it's not your living room..
what kinda girl is she? she was drooling on my book..
oh, she's dirty..
where's my file holder?
where is she?
hey,
hey!
hey you!
you can't hear me?
you took my file too, give it back to me.
I gave your book back to you.
I'm talking 'bout my pink file, not the book!
I didn't take that.
oh boy..
I'm in a bad mood today.
give it back to me while I'm behaving gently..
I said, I didn't take that!
okay, let me see your student ID card then.
what?
what's wrong? I just wanna see your student ID card.
I knew it.. you're not a student in this school, are you?
I knew it from the start..
looks like you're always doing this.
what else did you steal?
oh my.. now you mean I'm a thief?
I tried to behave gently.. but I can't..
let me see inside your bag.
why my bag?
- let me see inside your bag! - no!
or let's go to the police station and get judged by the law!
what are you saying?
- give my bag to me! - no!
I'm so sorry.
please..
I'm so sorry..
I'm not that kinda person but..
I made a mistake..
but the situation was little bit weird, you know.
you took my book first, didn't you? so I thought you took my file, too.
well, I'm not saying that I've done nothing wrong..
okay,
if you're still feeling bad,
you can hit me.
a moment back, I was just.. automatically ducking.
okay, hit me.
this time, I'm not gonna duck.
oh,
oh my..
you really tried to hit me.
okay, okay.
I'm really not gonna duck this time.
you hit me and let's compromise, okay?
believe me!
forget it,
let's stop it.
oh yeah?
let's stop it.
you're a good person. now you're accepting my apology..
you think you're tough?
who do you think I am? do I look so easy to you?
- you! - what?
blood on my hand!
you deserve the blood.
I'd stop here today, but..
if you behave like today again,
you'll gonna be a dead meat!
I'm home.
where have you been?
I've been to the library.
library? I don't think you can get a job that way.
forget about getting a job and help me doing my part-time job.
mom,
what happened? Jung-min's giving you headaches?
not Jung-min, it's you who's giving me headaches.
it's of no use for you to spend your time in the library.
no chance, forget about getting a job.
mom, you want me to make dinner?
take Jung-min to the bathroom.
wash him well today, okay?
I've been trying to get a job for 3 years.
but still no job.
I'm not pretty looking,
I'm not smart, either.
I'm not from a good school, and I don't have connections in this society.
but I don't wanna give up because I have a dream.
well, I don't know for sure what exactly is my dream yet.
but one thing is clear.
someday,
I'll blow a punch to this world!
everybody here?
yes, father, everybody's..here.
good.
let's start morning meeting.
Jung-eun,
what about the job you applied for?
you don't need to ask about that.
she failed.
we gotta move out the day after tomorrow.
don't wait to pack up things until the day after tomorrow, okay?
anything else?
I have something to tell you, father.
I just..
want to stay here in Seoul.
what are you talking about?
I gotta find a better job in Seoul..and..
father,
I'm staying in Seoul, too.
Seoul is a much better place to study.
shut up!
what are you guys talking about?
okay, that's all for today's meeting.
let's have a nice day for us all.
meeting is over!
Jung-eun, what's that?
what?
it's nothing.
phone call.
- for me? - yeah,
seems like an urgent one.
( Bank Account : 2,000,000 Won )
thank you for your file.
what time is it?
hey!
you took my file?
you should've told me about this..
making a study group is much better than studying alone.
oh I forgot, about the constitutional law..
yeah, that's..
you know what? the seminar was..
oh! Hye-ryun!
long time no see. how have you been?
me? of course I'm pretty good.
by the way, you went to study abroad, didn't you?
right, but I changed my mind.
I need to pass the bar exam first. and then, I can go to study abroad again.
good idea.
it's good to pass the bar exam.
by the way, are you..
- I'm leaving. call me later. - okay.
see you later.
you're leaving now?
I'll find a good study group for you. see you again.
Kyung-min,
you want to take this course?
No.
where is she?
Hye-ryun!
- oh, would you carry this for me? - okay.
when did you come back?
I was so surprised to get a call from you yesterday.
I thought you're gonna stay at least 1 year there.
you had lunch?
lunch?
not yet.
that's good.
let's go. I'll buy you lunch.
( Student ID card : Hye-ryun Na )
thank you for lending me your ID card.
you can keep it. I don't think I need it for the time being.
really?
I call you when I need it. so come the library early in the morning, okay?
thank you.
you know what? I met an asshole from your department.
an asshole?
I don't know his name, but..
he's tall..with thick eyebrows..
looks just unpleasant!
he's like..
handsome at first look, but.. actually looks very mean.
Hye-ryun!
loooong time no see!
- nice to see you again! - me, too.
this is my high school friend.
her name is Jung-eun.
how do you do? this guy is June-ho,
and I'm Yong-june Bae. the same name with the handsome actor!
nice to meet you, I'm Jung-eun Nam.
which department are you in?
she's my high school friend, I said.
she's just using the library. preparing for job interview for 3 years!
it's very hard to get a job these days, you know.
( Life is so tough for me....from Jung-woo )
life is so tough for me,
I'll come back after taking some rest.
I'll pay your money back for sure.
I love you guys forever.
your money?
what is he talking about?
my piggy bank!
he took those coins!
what can I do?
close the door first!
I'm sorry?
and if you got a call from him by any chance,
tell him that he's goona be a dead meat if he comes back.
so don't ever come back, okay?
- father! - meeting is over!
honey!
right, you shouldn't come back. you're not worthy of coming back.
mom, what are you doing now?
you had lunch?
I had lunch.
mom,
any news from Jung-woo?
no news?
now I'm going to his school.
he might have come to the school.
his friends may know something.
yeah,
don't worry, okay?
bye.
hey, let's have some talk.
hey! just for a minute!
hey,
you wanna follow me forever?
at least until we become good friends.
what did you say?
let me tell you.
I think we should forget about the bad things from the past, you know.
we may see each other often.
see often?
hey,
didn't I tell you that if you show up one more time you're gonna be a dead meat?
you did bad thing to me, too.
look at this.
my arm!
Jung-woo!
what did the teacher say?
oh yeah?
okay, I'll come back after he got cooled down.
cell-phone?
I got some money, you know.
right.
Jung-eun!
Jung-woo!
I'm gonna kill you!
you stop there!
he's a thief!
help me to catch that thief!
stop there!
let me catch him for you!
I'm not a thief!
it's end of the road there.
who the hell are you!
me? I'm the person who catches thieves.
I'm a prosecuter of the republic of Korea!
you better watch yourself.
I learned Tae-Kwon-Do!
I learned Ken-do, too.
I got you!
excuse me.
I caught a thief.
here's the thief.
stop crying.
you're not a kid.
I missed mom..
dad..
and Jung-eun..
you should've come back home.
where did you sleep?
in internet cafe.
did you have dinner?
you must be hungry.
mom is making a delicious dinner for you.
beg your mom and promise not to do this again, okay?
yes.
by the way, who made your face like this?
I blew more punches to him though.
excuse me.
where is the tall guy?
I don't know.
how could you buy all these things?
answer my question!
did you..
steal money?
no..no I didn't, father. I bought these with Jung-eun's money.
Jung-eun's money?
what are you talking 'bout?
you don't have money, do you?
recently..she's delivering newspapers every morning.
you delivered newspapers?
yes.
I'll tell you all about this.
father,
mom,
I wanna be independent. I'll support myself.
I don't wanna follow you to Chun-chon.
you raised me so far.. so..I wanna be independent from..
independent? you don't have a job, do you?
you're saying nonsense!
I'll get a job.
I don't wanna be dependent on parents.
until I get a job, I can do part-time jobs..
shut up!
you think you can get a job?
just stay at home quietly and get a blind guy to get married with, okay?
why are you always saying like that?
I also have a dream!
there're something I wanna do and somebody I wanna be.
I don't have a good brain and I'm not from a good school,
but I will do my best,
I can make it,
maybe it's gonna take some time,
but I can make it step by step.
you said I'm slow like a bear.
I'm proud to be slow.
father,
please trust me.
I can make it.
I really can make it.
okay then, tell me what exactly is your dream.
how come you don't say anything? say something to her!
well,
I see what you mean, but..
no way.
like your mom said, just stay at home.
and get married, okay?
father,
meeting is over!
Jung-woo,
tell me.
you didn't spend up all the money, did you?
tell me.
please.
I did.
you jerk!
you must be crazy!
I understand how you feel.
- someday, I'll pay your money back.. - someday?
don't say 'someday'!
please delay the payment due date, please!
no, you can't delay it for one month!
then, can I get the deposit back?
no way!
it's you who signed the contract.
the seller won't give the deposit back!
oh, please!
please!
I'd like to lend some money to you, but..
I have no money..
you have a job, how come you always don't have money?
that's the way it goes for people like me.
hey,
if it's that urgent,
why don't you ask Hye-run for some money?
I thought about that, but..
right, I must admit that she's always making people feel unpleasant.
she's a good girl basically,
but she's little bit..
she's basically good? I don't think so.
she's an egoist & a narcist.
anyway, you're in trouble.
Dong-june!
I didn't imagine I'd meet you here!
long time no see. we haven't seen each other for a long time.
is it first time since I came back from America?
right.
how come you didn't call me at all? I didn't even know that you came back from America.
well, I was so busy.
oh, I heard that your father will have a celebration party of his book.
right, come to the party, okay?
yes, I will.
oh, it's getting late.
is it?
uh..you had dinner? how about dinner together?
well, I think I need to come back to my office.
I see..
I'm sorry. let's have dinner together some other day, okay?
okay.
I'm leaving.
it's because I can't live with 'injustice' don't you think so?
you're joking about the wound on your face?
hey you guys,
you guys go first, okay?
it's so hot today.
man, it's so hot!
oh!
- how are you doing? - well,
I'm doing not very good.
why did you leave first?
you left first.
thank you for yesterday's thing..
you're welcome, but..
how could you call your own brother a 'thief'?
I just couldn't help it..
anyway, thank you so much for yesterday.
don't mention it. it was because I'm the kinda guy who can't live with 'injustice' or 'crime'!
you're in law school, right?
right, anybody you know in my department?
yes.
I know Hye-ryun Na.
Hye-ryun?
you mean, you're a friend of hers?
wow!
what a coincidence!
I'm Kyung-min Lee. I forgot to introduce me to you.
I'm Jung-eun Nam.
so nice to meet you.
now you're my friend, 'cause you're a friend of Hye-ryun's.
let's have lunch together. I'm buying.
why? you had lunch?
I took my lunchbox.
- let me see your lunch box! - no!
any gold in your lunch box? I just wanna taste it.
it's just an ordinary lunch box.
have a seat.
and it tastes..just ordinary.
you don't have to eat it, then.
okay, I won't eat it.
oh my, you gotta eat it up.
eat this anchovy, too.
well,
I don't eat anchovy.
uh..why?
it's just..
it's not yummy.
yes, it is yummy.
taste it.
no, I won't.
anchovy has much calcium in it. eat it!
- no! I won't! - eat it!
okay, okay, I'll eat it.
I got one question for you.
why do you say 'mom' to your mom and 'father' to your dad?
uh?
you and your brother were saying..
'mom' & 'father' to your parents.
what's wrong with that?
what's wrong?
well, originally.. 'mother' & 'father' are going together,
and 'mom' & 'dad' together, right?
well, my mom doesn't wanna be called 'mother' 'cause it sounds too formal.
and my father likes to be called 'father'.
how do you call your parents, then?
by the way, what were you looking at?
god, I need money.
money? you need money?
no, forget it.
how much do you need?
Jung-eun!
here I come.
here you are.
well,
is it really okay to take this money?
take it, you said it's urgent.
no matter how urgent it is,
I shouldn't borrow money from a stranger.
ya,
how can you say like that?
I'm not a stranger, I'm your friend!
no, I can't.
I can support myself later, I don't wanna be in debt.
you said, you can't get the deposit back.
how about this?
wow! what a..
- a great view, isn't it? - it is!
you can even see stars at night!
all rooftop is for me, very nice.
how come it's smaller than my room?
yes, you got a big room.
it would look prettier if I paint it again.
we can paint it, can't we?
anyway, thank you so much.
I will pay your money back for sure.
Jung-eun,
don't feel too much pressure about that.
that's what the friends are for.
but..
it's really okay for friends like us.
well,
how about giving three cheers? now you're independent from your parents!
cheers! republic of Korea!
cheers!
cheeeeers!
cheers!
cheeers!
chee..
cheers!
( to father & mom, )
( I'm staying in Seoul )
( you don't have to worry about me )
( I promise I'll become a good daughter you can be proud of. )
I don't get why she's like this!
once she comes back, I won't forgive her!
Jung-eun's not coming with us? I'm worried about her so much!
so I thought about this problem.
I'm staying in Seoul.
I can take care of..
mom! mom!
you forgot this gas burner!
she doesn't show up! I can't believe it!
she's so bold!
let's go.
get on the car.
what about Jung-eun?
- I'm gonna find her.. - that's enough. let's go.
hey guys, let's go!
Jung-eun,
take it easy. drink this.
thank you.
you must be so tired.
keep up the good work!
Hye-ryun!
take it easy, drink this.
- here you are. - thanks.
what are you doing?
I need to summarize this book for our study group. but this is too much for me.
oh..is it too much?
well then.. you wanna see this?
which professor wrote this book?
it's not from professors, I made this.
really?
did you really make this note?
sure I did.
I summarized those books and made this note.
If you don't mind, you can use this.
can I share it with my study group mates?
yes, you can.
Hye-ryun,
your friend, Jung-eun..
yeah?
she's studying over there.
yeah..
didn't she tell you anything?
no.
no, nothing.
forget it. just drink coffee.
bye.
oh, it's so hard.
I can't do it anymore..
you don't have to do this. I'll do it for you.
but..I shouldn't let you do this..
you're doing too much favor for me..
oh, you're saying it again..
it's just natural for friends like us!
you know what?
at first..
I thought you're a very mean guy.
that's alright. it's all in the past.
by the way,
did you tell Hye-ryun about what I've done for you?
well..uhm..
we've become friends and.. I lent some money to you and all that..
uh?
I didn't tell her about you.
you didn't?
oh..
right,
you don't have to tell her about that.
that's not an important thing, no.
oh!
- paint on your face. - paint?
now it's okay?
what?
let's finish this.
you buy me lunch today.
- why am I supposed to buy you lunch? - you're rich, man.
hello,
Hye-ryun!
go ahead, I'm okay now.
today?
I'm okay today.
I see.
okay, see you there!
Kyung-min!
how are you doing?
well..
Kyung-min didn't come to school today?
he did, but he left.
he left to have lunch with Hye-ryun.
with Hye-ryun?
yes.
I see..
good bye, study hard.
hey,
wait a sec.
I hate to say this to you, but..
I'm saying this for you.
Well, Kyung-min lent some money to you, right?
how do you know about that?
how do I know about that? Kyung-min told me about that.
do you know why he lent the money to you?
because he wants to impress Hye-ryun.
the reason why I'm telling you about it is..
I think you better know what's on his mind.
when it comes to Hye-ryun's stuff, he becomes just a fool!
anyway, he's a bad guy, you know. he shouldn't have done this to you.
June-ho, aren't you a friend of Kyung-min?
I thought you're a friend of him.
I'm sorry?
yes!
I've got a feeling!
I got so surprised to get a call from you.
why?
don't you know why? it was the first time you called me!
thank you for your note, it was so good. you can even publish it.
you think it's a masterpiece?
Sang-jun read this too. he wants you to join our study group.
Sang-jun?
why?
that sounds good! sounds nice.
me, Yong-june and June-ho will join your group and make your group a better one!
no, those guys are not wanted.
is that what Sang-jun said? study group is not a privilege, you know.
guys in your group sound weird.
I'm not saying that you're weird.
okay, you don't wanna join our group?
well..I don't wanna join alone.
forget it, then.
are you offended?
no, I'm not offended.
but you wanted to join our group, didn't you?
I did, but it was because of you.
say what?
no, it's just..
okay, I'll put it straight.
I like you so much.
you must be embarrassed, right?
I totally understand how you feel now.
but I'm a very nice guy.
give me some time, I'll prove that.
Hye-ryun,
be my girlfriend.
you don't have to answer me now.
if you need some time to think it over..
no.
I'll answer you now.
I can't be more than a friend to you.
let's stay as friends.
Hye-ryun,
Hye-ryun!
Hyun-jung, it's me!
I was just passing by your office.
it's lunch time, isn't it? if you haven't had lunch, let's..
