An unworthy holder of Cheon-ui-joo
can cause chaos.
If anything happens to me...
CEO is working hard to make you Sang Hae successor.
What?
But he never had the justification.
Justification?
A reason to publicly declare you
as his successor.
I'm just filling in for him.
And...
I'm seeking a student to succeed me
and protect the Key.
You must get powerful.;;
Worthy for top position,
able to defeat anyone,
leading Sang Hae Group.
You need strength.
Moorim School isn't ordinary.
It's why CEO enrolled you.
Gain recognition at Moorim.
CEO wants a powerful successor.
CEO will do the rest.
~ MOORIM SCHOOL ~ Episode 10
( ACADEMIC TRANSCRIPTS )
The intruder wasn't after the Key?
Correct.
You found the culprit?
I'm waiting.
For what?
For a confession.
Hold on.
We're not the only ones
who can't sleep.
Will you stay silent about the Key, Dean?
The Cheon-ui-joo Key!
Who was it?
What's on your mind?
Oh...
It's disturbing, right?
Mm.
Dean's office was ransacked.
We don't know why.
World-ruling Cheon-ui-joo power?
What's that?
Did Yeob Jung know of Cheo-nui-joo?
He aims to be Moorim's best and first.
You saw it.
He's from Hong Kong's top Musul family.
He'd know about Moorim.
Do really don't know?
What?
About Cheon-ui-joo.
You know nothing?
I don't know!
Yeob Jung. You knew of Cheon-ui-joo?
Curious?
If you knew of Cheon-ui-joo,
maybe you broke-in.
Stop the nonsense.
Even if my target was Cheon-ui-joo,
you think I'd go inside the Dean's room?
As long as I become the top in this school, I can get it.
Why'd I have to steal it?
That mindset wins?
What's wrong with you today?
It's none of your business anyway.
You're not related to this incident.
How's it not my concern?
I see. You're a Moorim student?
Just have fun, recover and go.
What?
No, you've already done that.
So go back to your place.
A big idol has no place here.
Hey, careful!
- I spaced out. - Take care with knives.
Prof. Kim says so.
- Shi Woo. - What?
At the concert,
the falling light froze above you.
I saw it briefly. But how?
- Are you mistaken? - No.
I saw it. Same with the wolves.
You were always different.
You're the first to open the Seal.
That could've been Chi Ang.
No. It was you.
If I did, it's a fluke.
I envy you.
With such power,
I'd share Dad's burden.
Why don't you ask the Dean for the truth?
If it's too much, tell me.
I can share the load as your daughter.
I'm waiting for that.
I can wait.
Goodnight.
Soon Duk.
Why are you here?
- I'll go to school with you. - Really?
I'm recovered.
Chi Ang is returning to Moorim!
I have homework first.
Homework?
- Let's go. - Where are we going?
- You'll stay quiet? - What?
I know you were not in the room the night the professors came to check.
You wore shoes under the cover.
That's...
As you said, I'm a loser.
I fell asleep like that.
Stop your nonsense.
You came in a hurry to hide
so you did not have time to take off your shoes.
Don't accuse me!
Stop all your nonsense and go confess to the Dean.
I'm saying this out of compassion.
Compassion?
Damn rot!
You'll accuse me
and turn me into trash!
Loser.
Yes, I look pathetic.
You're from Hong Kong's top Musul school.
I looked like a joke.
Do you need Cheon-ui-joo for family recognition?
That's why you came?
- Shut your mouth. - Wanna hit me again?
You all look down on me.
What are you?
What makes you great?!
Stop it.
Butt out.
You don't know your birth details. Absurd.
Did you enter Dean's office?
( ACADEMIC TRANSCRIPTS )
Why?
Go tell Dean the truth.
You go tell him.
- I've nothing to say. - Choi Ho.
No need.
Why'd you do it?
The you I know
won't do this.
I can't accept lowest rank.
I wanted to correct it.
You were foolish.
Beginners Rank
doesn't mean lower skills.
It's to give you time to self-reflect.
So, you told Shi Woo about Cheon-ui-joo?
I'm just filling in for him.
And...
I'm still seeking
a successor
to protect the Key.
Shi Woo can be Moorim successor?
Why? Why that jerk?
That jerk only-
You're even an unworthy Beginner.
You don't deserve to be here.
Go home.
You wanted to go here?
I just wanted tea.
It's alright.
Nice ambience, my first tea in a while.
- Thank you. - For what?
You missed work and sleep while nursing me.
Your missing work is a big deal.
You got hurt for me, so I had to do that.
I still feel bad.
Stop saying it.
Right?
I needn't feel sorry?
Yeah.
So I won't say sorry.
You said so.
It's not what I want to hear.
You know that.
Stop losing your way.
What's this?
Open it.
A butterfly brings luck.
So I got you one.
I'm sorry.
I can't accept this.
I said I won't say sorry...
Is Shi Woo the reason?
Huh?
Your 'sorry'
is because of Shi Woo?
You know my feelings.
I'm serious about you.
You know that.
I know you're serious, but...
I can't accept it.
I'm so sorry.
I...
can't give you up.
Chi Ang.
Don't feel pressured.
A person's heart
is like a butterfly.
If you try to hold it, it flies away.
Now I...
won't chase you childishly.
I'll show you who I am.
Not just an okay guy.
I'll be an amazing man.
I'll give you the necklace then.
Chi Ang.
Unless I do this, I won't get over you.
So...
it's not because of you.
Somehow...
it's for me.
Don't stress.
You have a lot of cares.
I don't want to be baggage.
Let's go to school.
An unworthy Cheon-ui-joo holder
can cause chaos.
If anything happens to me...
Who's there?
Oh, that poor man is dead.
- It's unfortunate. - What happened?
He was fine. How'd he suddenly die?
I went to meet a witness from 18 years ago.
He was dead.
Wasn't it an accident?
Can't be.
Someone was afraid I'd meet that man.
He killed my wife...
and is hiding the truth.
He's covering his tracks.
If you're talking about Hwang Moo Song,
should I arrange a meeting?
It's not time yet.
Right now, I'd lose the fight.
Jenny. Eat up.
Is today special?
Is it a birthday?
It's my comeback celebration.
- What? - Chi Ang.
Chi Ang.
Here.
Good job, Seon Ah.
- Are you fine? - Sure.
Well, comeback congrats.
We're a bit down
but glad to see you.
Seon Ah told me. Cheer up.
We'll convince the Dean.
He has an open mind.
And I'm the sponsor's son.
Yeah. Eat.
Straighten up.
Fighting. Fighting!
- Fighting! - Fighting.
Isn't it a bit much?
- Eat it. - I'll eat a lot.
I have to clean bathrooms alone.
- I lost my appetite. - Sorry.
We weren't mentioning him.
I can't see why he did it.
- Me too. - Did he steal Cheon-ui-joo?
It's not involved.
Choi Ho rejected lowest rank.
I'll eat and see Choi Ho.
It's first on my schedule.
You'll leave like this?
Choi Ho.
Ask Dean for forgiveness.
Leave afterwards.
Who are you?
Advanced class gives you no right.
I didn't climb Moorim Peak because I wanted to.
- Isn't this shameful? - Got no pride?
You'll give up 3 years' hard work?
I saw it myself.
Who's the one Moorim will acknowledge?
What do you mean?
Yoon Shi Woo.
Last night the Dean told him about Cheon-ui-joo.
Know what that means?
He came out of nowhere
but the Dean will make him successor!
Please don't expel Choi Ho.
He tried to change his Transcript.
He betrayed the school.
You said a betrayer is still a friend and comrade?
Even if he betrays you, he's still your friend.
You're responsible for his betrayal.
Don't forget that.
If Choi Ho betrayed us, we're responsible.
Please give him a chance.
We agree.
Please reconsider.
Choi Ho works hard.
If you let him stay, I'll work twice as hard.
Chi Ang, I...
I'll just...
do things my way.
You do it your way.
You're the coolest guy I've met.
A friend like you... may not come again.
If you were just an okay guy,
I'd find this hard.
Alright.
You do it your way...
I'll do it mine.
Thanks for coming back.
- Where's Choi Ho? - He left.
- What? - That jerk left.
I can relate to Choi Ho.
For a long time,
I kept silent about my past.
I'm dreaming a lot.
Dream or memory?
Reality or my imagination?
It's like...
my unknown past is waking up.
Chi Ang.
What's Cheon-ui-joo?
Is world power
a good thing?
Hello?
Who's asking for my hubby?
Who?
Mr Park's wife?
Who's Mr Park? Oh my...
Ms. Ji Soo, how are you?
Died?
Who...?
A man was blinded in that incident.
A Guhji guy
saw someone run off with a baby.
My memories of that day
are still hazy.
You found the girl?
If he has Chae Yoon's child,
we'll find the other Key.
Report to CEO.
Your friend died. Why look for Soon Duk
and not go to the funeral?
Get her!
Her school is here.
Well, that's...
What? Soon Duk isn't here?
We have no Shim Soon Duk on record.
No, but you said she goes here!
I'm wrong?
You think I'm blind and stupid?
You're hiding something?
I know nothing.
If you're curious,
- call Soon Duk? - You...
You don't care about her.
Don't say that.
How can you not know?!
I don't know, I don't know!
Um, actually,
she goes to school.
Sc-sc-sc...school?
In the mountains.
Moorim School.
Oh my gosh, Bong San, honey.
No. No!
[ Ajumma Bang Duk ]
[ Missed calls ]
What happened?
Where's Soon Duk?
It's strange here.
I'm taking an unknown path
but somehow it's familiar.
I was the same.
The day I got my college acceptance letter,
I couldn't tell Dad
since we were poor.
I cried a lot in the forest.
- I got lost. - You met the Dean then?
No.
- I met Seon Ah. - Seon Ah?
She sneaked out
without her dad knowing.
Seon Ah and I wandered.
The moment we decided school would be safer,
the Seal was released.
That day, I thought it was Fate.
Fate?
Yes, it was Fate
in the mountains
when I met you.
But I'm nervous.
It seems I'll be swept somewhere dark and cold.
I can't remember my past.
Can I handle it?
Shi Woo.
Cheon-ui-joo isn't unfamiliar.
If I try to ignore it,
my head hurts.
Whatever your past,
you're just Shi Woo.
Don't worry.
Whatever's at the end,
stay with me?
Yes.
I'll be with you.
~ love is more joy than pain ~
~ I learned love from you ~
~ my small room is filled with only your perfume ~
~ you're the person I'll love ~
~ even if I cry and am sorry ~
~ you will stand there ~
Chi Ang.
I saw nothing.
~ when I see you, when I hold your hand ~
~ my days pass so quickly ~
Judge if he is friend or foe.
Don't be betrayed later.
What?
What Choi Ho said
bothered you.
Last night, Dean told him of Cheon-ui-joo.
Know what that means?
I lost to that jerk.
What is Cheon-ui-joo?
Is world power
a good thing?
Is Shi Woo the reason?
I can't back down.
Never.
Say it.
You go to Moorim?
Is it true?!
Dad.
You should be my eyes, but you deceive me?
For how long?!
Moorim School isn't strange.
How's a mountain Musul school not strange?
Quit there.
You're worried, but please just
trust me once.
Night work and day study wasn't easy.
I did it for a good school.
Who told you to do that?
Did I push you into work or college?
If we lack things, don't be greedy.
It's not greed.
I'm trying to survive.
Where's another school
for us who have nothing?
Find another school. I'll get a loan.
Is that sane? How do we afford it?!
After going to that strange school,
you yell at me?
Dad, please.
Don't do this.
Go to your room.
Don't go near that school.
- You're too much. - How am I?
I did well in high school. You didn't know that.
I threw out my college acceptance letter.
You didn't know then.
So pretend you don't know now.
Be oblivious like always!
Soon Duk, you...
Do you know how I live to appease you?
Despite good sight, every day was dark.
Living hand to mouth was suffocating.
But Moorim School let me breathe.
Though it's hard, I'm hanging in.
So please.
Please, this once, okay?
Never.
I can't let you.
Why are you doing this?
I don't see why you hate that school.
Explain so I know.
Quit your part-time job.
Stay home until we move.
Dad.
What did you just say?
In one month, we'll hold Moorim Contest.
Isn't Moorim Contest in final semester?
We used to, but I'll change it.
Change it?
Not only current students
but graduates and Moorim League.
Pardon?
You'll let in outsiders?
That's too risky.
The League is now different.
We need skilled people.
Still, we mustn't open the Seal.
What about Jeok Poong?
Prof Kim.
What's our aim in martial arts?
Pardon?
Its essence is to stop fights.
Only the strong can stop a fight.
Jeok Poong is up to something
so you plan a defence.
I agree with the Dean.
Moorim Contest will be a turning point
for the future.
Moorim Contest?
Isn't that held at semester end?
Why now?
Outsiders will join in?
Yes!
The number you dialed cannot be reached...
Soon Duk still isn't answering?
She'll come.
Where else can she go.
See the Notice?
- The Contest? - He'll let in outsiders.
He's looking for a top person.
Why worry?
Do it your usual way.
Good work.
Prof. Kim.
We need a special class to prepare students.
I'll reinforce lessons.
So, I'll hire another teacher.
Anyone in mind?
Moorim Contest.
I can help our school.
Help others stand out?
My mom dreamed of a dragon with a magic pearl
before I was born.
I think the magic pearl was actually Cheon-ui-joo.
What an interpretation.
Stop the nonsense and practise
if you don't want to lose face in the competition.
Don't disgrace our school with your horrible skills.
He practises mean remarks. How's he so nasty?
He's nervous of outsiders.
Let's see who's the best.
For midterms, we determined the events.
This time, let them choose their own event.
Wing Chun versus Taekwondo.
Kungfu versus Hapkido. Like that?
It's fun. They'll show their special skills.
Unlocking the Seal is unwise.
What's the Dean thinking.
I'm going now.
Where to?
I'll prepare a special class.
You'll really move?
Didn't you listen?
We'll move far away.
You may not know this.
CEO Wang's son goes there
so it must be a great school.
Why not just...
They go there for shady motives.
Shady motives? What is it?
You needn't know.
Is it...
What nonsense-
well...
is it about
that incident that made you blind?
Or else why are you strongly against it?
Soon Duk's dad, are you okay?
If you say that to Soon Duk,
I won't see you again.
Y-yeah.
~ yeah I'm alive, watch me ~
~ I'll rise again many times ~
~ yeah I'm alive, watch me ~
~ now close your eyes and feel me ~
~ in the deep darkness ~
~ like a lost child ~
~ if I scream, no-one will hear, yeah ~
~ buried in my heart ~
~ a call to me ~
Are you truly okay?
I miss you.
Get powerful,
worthy of top position,
able to defeat anyone,
leading Sang Hae Group, powerful like that.
Get recognised at Moorim.
CEO wants a strong heir.
~ eh eh, I'll show more of myself ~
~ eh eh, I'm breathing ~
~ I'm newly born ~
You were here.
Seon Ah.
- Heard from Soon Duk? - No.
I think something happened.
Let's visit her.
Dad won't let me leave.
Chi Ang has her address.
I'm not going.
That's best.
What do you mean?
- Show your skills. - Right now...
- Stop! You'll get hurt. - You improved.
- Will you compete? - Of course.
- Don't. - What?
I need to win.
I'll destroy anyone in my way,
even a friend.
Chi Ang.
If you do compete,
I plan to tear you apart.
- Hoi! - Tae-kwon-do!
Wide legs.
Lower. Right, good.
Left punch.
Good.
- Go! - Tae-kwon-do!
Stronger. Use the belly.
- Go! - Tae-kwon-do!
Professor!
Here.
- You're a Moorim gem. - A gem?
The kids would laugh.
You're doing well.
Moorim Contest news made a buzz.
You regret turning down being successor?
It'd be a lie to deny regret...
but it's not for me.
I'll do anything I can to thank Moorim.
It's why I came.
The Dean wants you.
The Dean?
Contest preparation must be tough.
I must win the Contest.
Is there something
winning will gain you?
- Yes. - I see.
At your age, you must get what you want.
- I was the same. - You?
Like you, I wanted something.
Did you get it?
My friend got all I wanted.
He had personality and ethics.
The woman I loved...
Moorim successorship...
were all his.
My best friend was an unavoidable impediment.
There were times
I wished he'd disappear.
Just like you now.
What happened to you and your friend?
Losing him let me see
my jealousy had ruined what's precious
and everything had shone
because we were together.
When I'd lost more than I gained,
it was too late.
Still, you won and got everything.
The opponent isn't external, then or now.
If you could go back, would you just give up?
There'd be a different way.
If you'd handed everything
to your friend,
you'd have regrets.
That's why
I can't give up.
I'll get powerful.
Dean.
I'll be unbeatable,
the number one.
If you compete,
I plan to destroy you.
It's been a while.
- I'm on edge. - Me too.
Your lullaby calms me. My feet led me.
Keep playing?
I don't recall it
but my memories hold this melody.
Yeah?
Did my mom sing it?
Your playing is like a good dream,
relaxing me.
It helped me adjust to school quickly.
I'm glad
I helped.
- But, Seon Ah. - Mm?
You said I froze the lights
and released the Seal.
Why do you ask?
We'll be okay, right?
How?
You, Soon Duk, Chi Ang...
and all of us.
We have to be.
Now I know at least...
why I came here
and what I must do.
What will you do?
I'll face it,
no avoidance or running.
I'll find out.
About what?
Cheon-ui-joo.
And my past.
Your past and Cheon-ui-joo are linked?
Mm, perhaps.
No, definitely.
Why not change the tournament?
2 on 2 is good for team work.
The top tournament team faces off in the finals.
Good idea.
To not favour our students,
announce the rules on Contest day.
How about outsiders?
Most are Moorim League.
I'll prepare a list.
If outsiders are entering,
why not invite
Moorim League and students' families?
Won't too many outsiders be risky?
Let's think about it.
- What about Soon Duk? - List her as Taekwondo.
Okay.
What about you?
I don't know yet.
Soon Duk concerns you more than Moorim Contest?
Sure.
- You won't visit Soon Duk? - I have no time for that.
Chi Ang is trying too hard.
Not just him.
Everyone is more serious.
Dean.
Follow me.
I'll visit Soon Duk.
Do it right.
There's food.
Sure.
I can't clean dishes or my mood today.
It's unlike you.
You too.
Can't you smile like that around Shi Woo?
It's hard to see him. You want me to smile?
You're cruel.
Chi Ang.
Never mind.
I'll take out the trash.
Hey.
I'll take it out for a special lesson.
- Special? - Lend me your weights.
These?
You wear them all day?
Even asleep.
Somehow we came this far...
Around here, I met Soon Duk and Chi Ang.
As I headed towards Soon Duk...
Chi Ang attacked me.
At that time,
you thought the world turned against you.
Yes.
I didn't know I'd turned my back on it.
Won't you go back?
Instead of being at the top fearing a fall,
it's not bad to stand here and look around.
You've regained confidence to rise back up.
Moorim seemed to be a weird Musul school.
I'm sorry, back then...
Don't be sorry
You seemed strange back then.
"Why were you on edge?"
"What was so scary and unbearable"
"to make you destroy your body?"
So I thought.
It was my unknown past...
I dared not peek into it.
Now...
can you face it?
Dean.
Somehow Cheon-ui-joo
may relate to my past.
You'd be afraid.
Whatever happens,
I'll try hard to find myself.
At first I didn't want to come to Moorim.
For sure.
But now,
it's like I'm meant to come.
Though I resisted, I ended up here.
Here, I'm different.
Now, even if I tried to go backwards,
there's no return.
Hi, is this Shim Soon Duk's home?
Oh my, yes.
Hi, I'm Moorim Dean, Hwang Moo Sung.
I know. I know you.
What's needed came; no, the person needed.
One minute.
Soon Duk!
Soon Duk's dad!
What's the fuss?
Did war break out?
Hello.
Dean.
Shi Woo.
Oh, what's up?
Are you okay?
~ MOORIM SCHOOL ~
What?
I'm sure that kid died.
We found who took the kid, so expect good news.
You're waiting for Shi Woo or Soon Duk?
- Moorim Contest is soon. - Outsiders will enter?
He wants a successor.
Maybe my power can protect what's precious.
- Safe! - Senior!
Come beat me. I won't help.
It's chaos here. You're all disasters.
Do it right. You're evading me.
I'm not.
I don't want to hurt you.
Quit acting.
I don't care if I hurt you.
