Dad, are you okay?
Dad is blind.
- I should've phoned first. - Everybody, out.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I meant to visit you earlier.
You came for nothing.
Soon Duk has quit that school.
Sir.
She mistook that school.
Thanks for caring for her.
Now, that's enough.
Why'd you come?
- To catch a fraud. - Fraud?
You said you'd stay by me, then left?
Ah.
You worried?
Dean will work it out.
Don't worry.
I hope so.
Do you know Soon Duk's dream?
I met Soon Duk
two years ago.
I just went out for air.
Hello.
She was lost in the woods, too.
I wasn't aware of this school.
- Why'd you run away from here... - Oh, hey!
Seon Ah told me of here. I'll work hard.
Please accept me.
She seemed too smart and brave to reject.
I've observed Soon Duk as diligent,
always focused,
and gives her best.
I know your worries.
More than a Dean, I'm a girl's dad.
I understand.
What parent wants
their girl at a school of violence?
Soon Duk is ordinary.
Cheon-ui-joo involvement isn't for her.
Cheon-ui-joo? How's he know?
Please go now.
- Moorim Contest will be held. - Contest?
They'll select a School successor.
Alumni and Moorim League are invited.
Outsiders will enter?
That's unusual, right?
Moorim Contest?
He'll seek a Key protector.
Intent stirs fear.
- The warnings troubled the Dean. - CEO will be glad.
What of the third Key part?
Things are speeding up.
You got the kid?
We found who took him.
Good news is coming.
Slowly stir up Moorim League.
I'm sorry...you came far.
When did your dad go blind?
Not long after I was born, it happened in an accident.
Did you...mention Cheon-ui-joo to him?
No.
He didn't know I went to Moorim.
Why? What's wrong?
It's nothing. Go in.
Sure.
Safe trip.
You too.
Bye.
She's Shim Bong San's daughter, not Hwang Moo Song's?
Observe, don't rush.
Hwang Moo Song visited him.
CEO says the missing kid is a boy.
Student Choi Ho?
Who are you?
Yeong.
Joon.
~ MOORIM SCHOOL ~ Episode 11
Why are you back?
I can't go by myself.
Who's this?
I'm Soon Duk's friend, Yoon Shi Woo.
His aura is no joke.
You sense my energy?
It's nothing. Leave.
I won't go without Soon Duk, Father.
I'm not your 'Father'! Bug off. Get out!
You acted in a rush.
That's my level.
Thanks for offering to help, but...
We don't want you to win the Contest.
- Then? - In the Contest,
ruin the School that abandoned you.
Moorim has no loyalty or principles.
We'll make that clear.
Doing that...
makes you the true winner.
How long will he stay?!
Until you give permission.
You crazy punk...!
You're not asking to marry her...
Go before it rains harder.
Shi Woo.
Heck! How can he go in this rain.
It won't stop soon.
So, your name is Yoon Shi Woo?
Oh my.
You're very handsome.
What do your parents do?
Ajumma.
Since he came all the way here,
you don't seem just friends.
So, what do your parents do?
My parents...are gone.
They died when I was small.
Both?
Yes.
Oh, how?
It was in a fire.
F-f...fire...you say.
I don't remember, yet it happened.
After that,
I was in an orphanage.
Chae Yoon's boy is missing.
It can't be him, right?
Mummy.
Calm down. Let's go.
Mummy.
Who are you?
Don't cry...
We're safe.
Hey.
Hey!
I saw nothing, know nothing.
Anyway, if he'd stayed there...
It's just a coincidence.
That child died.
Can it be?
What if your dad refuses?
I don't know.
I didn't know he'd be so opposed.
If he visited the school, he'd change his mind.
Dad plans to move
far away so I quit school.
What?
I don't know
why he hates Moorim so much.
~ even when I take a step ~
~ and let out a sigh ~
~ I don't know where this road ends ~
I'll come back,
whatever happens.
~ Goodbye, goodbye, don't say it to me ~
~ Goodbye ~
Thanks for coming, Yoon Shi Woo.
~ you please don't say goodbye ~
~ Baby, I was young back then ~
~ Baby, I was a coward then ~
~ I thought you'd stay ~
so I'd always reach you ~
~ Baby, I will protect you ~
~ Baby, I'm not afraid of anything ~
~ Will you stay by my side? ~
~ Will you embrace me? ~
~ Goodbye, you please don't say goodbye, goodbye ~
~ Goodbye, you please don't say goodbye ~
~ I've something to tell you ~
~ Will you listen? ~
~ I won't hide it any more ~
You're going?
I was afraid I'd drag you along if I saw your face.
How about you?
Me?
I was afraid you'd go alone.
What?
Let's go... before Dad wakes.
~ Will you stay with me? ~
~ Will you embrace me? ~
~ Goodbye, you please don't say goodbye; Goodbye ~
~ Goodbye, you please don't say goodbye ~
Oh my!
You scared me.
Why are you in here?
Oh my.
Where's Soon Duk?
She left.
She left?
Oh my. This is unlike her.
Why won't she heed you about that school?
Soon Duk unknotted the tangled thread.
Are you half asleep or crazy from shock?
The rest is up to me.
Up to me.
Waiting for Shi Woo?
Or Soon Duk?
Both of them.
Dean.
I'm back.
Welcome back.
Safe!
I almost didn't make it in.
Senior!
- Senior! - You guys. Been well?
- You became ladies. - Senior, too much.
I almost didn't know you. Especially Soon Duk
who proposed to me.
Proposed?
Eh, too much!
Hey, hey.
- Who's that punk? - Exactly.
What brings you?
Will you go in Moorim Contest?
Chat later.
Let's go inside.
Shi Woo brought Soon Duk.
- Who's that man? - Wow, he's hot.
It's Kang Tae Oh!
Kang Tae Oh?
Who's that?
To describe Kang Tae Oh...
He got perfect scores in all subjects.
Perfect?
Advanced Class, all 4 years.
Advanced?
And he was top scorer at Moorim Tournament.
He was the champion.
Aah...
He was so cool then.
If he's ace,
what was he doing till now?
Everyone thought he'd be
Moorim League successor.
- Successor? - Why didn't he?
No-one knows why,
but 2 years ago, right after the Tournament, he left.
He's a runaway too?
Hey.
Our Tae Oh doesn't run away.
"Our Tae Oh"?
Nothing's changed.
You aged a bit.
You were a major cause.
You have no successor.
Have you still not told Seon Ah?
You should.
She isn't a kid.
True. She grew up.
I can't hide the truth.
- Dean. - After the Contest...
I'll tell her.
How may I help?
You brought her back.
So unnecessary.
Aren't you glad Soon Duk is back?
I don't want her to see me like this.
If you knew my feelings,
you wouldn't see me, either.
You're all serious.
OK, practise your specialties and ask questions.
Well?
- Not bad, right? - Mm.
Only practising Wing Chun neglects leg strength.
Nadet, a hard punch will beat speed.
You know that.
Dong Goo, you're the reverse.
A crooked attitude corrupts your movements.
Shannon, focus. Jenny, perseverance.
Seon Ah, flexibility.
Chi Ang, no strength control.
And Soon Duk,
timing is great.
Is focus on timing a weak spot?
And Shi Woo...
What's your deal?
~ an unknown game ~
~ don't be afraid, I wanna make you crazy ~
Frankly, you're all a mess.
How do we fix that?
Won't you show us?
You're mistaken.
I'm not here to help you win.
Then?
What's most important about Moorim Contest?
Who knows?
Of course, it's about winning.
Wrong.
That's your homework.
If you can't solve it,
I may enter the Contest.
The successor can't be ignorant of the answer.
If you find the answer, see me...
any time.
- Who knew their Achilles' heel? - Practice won't fix it.
He wasn't all correct.
How am I crooked?
What better form and attacks...
I'm imperfect. He's right.
Totally right.
If winning isn't all,
what is?
Isn't a contest to be won?
I don't know the answer
but it's like Tae Oh.
"Don't over-try to win."
Isn't that it?
That's it. The process.
- Should we tell him. - Hey, no.
He's eye candy. He'll leave.
The process? Unlikely.
It's too easy.
But he said our weaknesses,
except for Shi Woo?
My weakness.
Yours is not having one.
Can't be.
As Beob Gong suggested,
parents and Moorim League may watch the Contest.
But a crowd is hard to monitor.
- If an incident... - I know your fears.
But...
we've been too secluded.
Outsiders and parents misunderstood.
Like Soon Duk?
Introducing Moorim to parents
through this Contest
should benefit students.
That's wise.
It's all for students.
Prof, I need a favour.
Go ahead.
Among outsiders attending,
figure out possible Jeok Poong.
And check to see
if they're plotting anything.
Yes, understood.
Ow, gosh.
Are you okay?
While I was away, you got stronger.
Yeah? I didn't hit hard.
What? You went easy?
Oh gosh. Annoying.
Let's go again.
Enough, stop.
Come at me.
Skip it.
Come on.
- Hey, Soon Duk. - Come at me.
- Let's go again. - I won't go easy.
Okay.
Shi Woo came 2 months ago
but he learns very fast.
How'd he end up here?
In life there can be an unavoidable force
such as...
a grand destiny.
Yoon Shi Woo came due to fate?
Senior.
Sorry, sorry...
I'm out of practice and slipped.
Chi Ang.
Didn't I say to control your strength?
Chi Ang is our sponsor Wang Hao's son.
That kid may be friend or foe...
I'm waiting to see.
This place got nicer.
Is it due to our sponsor?
Seon Ah, you went easy on him.
I didn't.
Then, is it something else?
What?
She likes me?
What are you saying?
Something preoccupied you.
Ah.
Keep training.
Some kids are het up.
Having a goal is good but...
I fear they'll be hurt.
Don't worry.
I'll help them all
so no-one's hurt.
So you say
defensive styles are better in contests?
Like Hapkido and Taekwondo?
Mm. Offensive styles are diverse
but they're predictable.
Even if you advance, it wears you out.
However,
defensive styles use mind play.
If you read the opponent, you can win without tiring.
Mm.
Actually,
Tae Oh taught me that.
What's his main style?
He did Taekwondo mainly
but he's good at everything. He's gifted.
Did you...
like him?
What?
No, well...
not one girl student...
didn't like Senior...
No,
that's not it, basically...
You're flustered, so I'm right.
- Still, now it's you... - Hm?
"Still, now it's you"?
I what?
I need to wash up.
Goodnight.
Goodnight, Soon Duk.
I need to control my strength.
Why do I overdo it?
Still, you're great
and improving daily.
I want less force to move freely
and lightly.
It's hard.
Maybe your heart's heavy, not your body.
I just heard that.
Anyway, you're doing well. Fighting!
Let's go.
Oh my.
It's untouched. Drive me nuts.
Wanna starve to death?
You can do nothing.
You can't drag a grown girl back here.
She's devoted to you, but left.
She's serious about it. Be understanding.
I know.
I understand.
If you know...
I'm so upset.
Wait. I'll heat the food.
I'm so upset.
Your dad didn't call?
Mm. I failed him.
Our dads don't know how hard we work.
One day, they will.
For sure?
Be strong.
No, no, let's both be strong!
Shi Woo!
Hey...well, training in secret?
I just can't sleep.
You came 2 months ago.
- Yes. - Wow, were you born with it?
Huh?
Well...
A singer came
and advanced so fast.
You'd never learned Musul.
What are you saying?
I didn't tell you your weakness, right?
I'm not curious.
You know the answer.
What's important in Moorim Contest?
I don't really know.
No, you do know.
So your attacks are passive.
Knowing the answer is your weakness.
Think carefully about it.
Nothing beats a blade.
If you want to win, take it.
The competitors list showed see
why you let outsiders enter.
I want to sort out those with a motive.
I noted contestants who may be Jeok Poong.
However, pinpointing possible Jeok Poong
won't stop them from competing.
What do you mean?
Cheon-ui-joo Key is held by Moorim's strongest person.
You mean,
one of our students must win, correct?
I won't ban Jeok Poong.
Are you confident?
Aren't you confident
in our students?
I hope our efforts
aren't in vain.
I wanted to come back for the food.
Let's see if Soon Duk's cooking improved.
Senior, you won the last Moorim Contest.
What's your secret?
Secret?
It's top secret.
The trick is...
30% luck.
Eh? Luck?
Two opponents forfeited - gut ache; allergies.
I got to the finals easily.
- What? - But you won
with your skills.
Anything else?
Right, an advantage.
Let's eat and not discuss that.
If 30% is luck,
what's the 70%?
"30% luck, 70% work"? You dunno?
I described your flaws.
Attack those.
- Soon Duk, eat up. - Yeah.
~ here comes the fire ~
~ I don't know why ~
Awesome!
~ it's like I woke up blind ~
~ I don't know why I didn't know ~
~ I wanted, desired you ~
~ no matter how hard I try ~
~ some things can't be thown away ~
~ just leave me alone for a while ~
~ I must do own my way ~
Gosh. Flexibility.
Are you okay?
Don't ask that; attack me.
Fine. I will at the Contest.
~ fly-y-y-y, try again ~
~ just take off and fly high ~
~ I don't care, set it on fire ~
Hey.
Shi Woo, do it right.
Don't evade me.
I'm not.
Take a break.
That punk, really.
Why're you here?
And you?
Weapon replacement.
Why won't Dean allow these?
We can get hurt.
In a real situation,
can we block these?
Why think of that?
Seon Ah.
If I froze the light and the wolves in mid-air,
what gives such power?
No.
That's unimportant.
What is this power?
It's hard to say
but is it "Gi Chae Sul"?
"Energy control"?
Mm. Gi Chae Sul lets you win
without physical contact.
In other words,
it needs great inner strength.
If I really can do that,
if it's true I used it...
is there a way...
I can do it again?
- Off to practise? - Yes.
I'm told
Chairman Wang will attend the Contest.
My father?
He has hopes for you.
This Contest is a chance
for you and the Chairman.
Opportunities don't come often.
Even if they do, they're hard to seize.
I know.
This time, get Chairman's...
no, your father's acknowledgement.
Yes.
You know the answer so you attack passively.
Knowing is your weakness.
If I had that power, I'd share Dad's burden.
I'll crush anyone in the way, even a friend.
How long will you do this?
Are you holding back?
You're saving yourself for the Contest?
- It's not that. - If not?
Including you...
I don't want to hurt anybody.
You won't hurt me?
That's an insult.
Going easy on me?
Who are you?
You can beat me easily?!
I'm looking for a way
to advance without hurting anyone.
Don't be cocky.
Who doesn't want to win?
But why hurt others to be first?
- What do you gain? - It's a battle!
You and me.
You said you'll crush me.
What if I beat you?
Let's say I win.
If I get Cheon-ui-joo Key, won't I lose you?
What's the use?
You...
may be able to say that.
If I lose you...
or hurt you, I don't care.
You may not care
but I do.
I don't want to hurt you.
Shi Woo.
I'm unlike you.
You do it your way.
I will gather power...
and be stronger
to protect ones I love.
Soon Duk?
How'd you know it's me?
Your breathing,
footsteps, scent...
and...
a warm feeling.
What's up?
Don't accept food from another man.
Especially
egg rolls.
What?
Were you here because of that?
Yes.
Okay. I won't eat it.
Should I not look at Tae Ho?
You wanted to?
Heck.
Let's go. It's cold.
Don't get hurt, Soon Duk.
Mm.
- Will he show us something? - Yeah.
To beat me, step up.
Not 3 to 1.
Who topped mid-terms?
It's been 10 minutes.
Tae Ho is demonstrating something.
Seon Ah, show him who's best.
That's Moorim's top student?
Give me a shot.
I'm not done.
Seon Ah, come out.
Let me.
To take me on,
beat Seon Ah first.
That's only fair.
Now.
Who'll fight Seon Ah?
I will do it.
You said you'd fight me.
Beat Seon Ah first.
She's too tired now.
It's cowardly.
Cowardly?
Isn't winning Moorim Contest your goal?
- But... - Whoever
can't beat me but beats tired Seon Ah
can be #1.
It's a rare chance.
Take Seon Ah down now
so she can't compete!
Why are you acting unlike you?
I gave you homework but got no answer.
- That's... - If Cheon-ui-joo Key
and Moorim heir is important,
where's a better chance? Agree?
Senior.
Please stop.
You wanted to win the Contest...
even if your friends got hurt.
I know the answer.
The important thing
is us...
people.
You get stronger to protect someone.
- But... - But...
you can't follow the answer.
- Is that it? - Yes.
I know what's going on here
and how my friends are doing...
but I have no space to care.
No space to care?
I need recognition in this Contest
to protect something.
You'll protect something but not those close by.
That won't protect anything.
You'll lose your self.
Remember, you may all know the path
but not many walk it.
So the one who walks it
will shine in the end.
I want to protect them.
Please teach me how we all win without hurt.
I can't tell you.
You must find it.
I heard of Gi Chae Sul.
Gi Chae Sul?
If my power isn't by chance,
that strength
may protect what's precious.
What? You're working on energy control?
I have a power no-one else has.
That strength can protect something special.
I'll show you I can
subdue an opponent without bloodshed.
Dean.
Oh, sure.
I see.
Your power being Gi Chae Sul didn't occur to me.
But...
it's not going well.
I wish I could help...
Gi Chae Sul isn't easy to do.
I only saw one person
who mastered it.
One person?
Who was it?
Moorim's last successor.
But that person
died.
He died?
Senior.
Hi.
Was I too much? Like an old guy?
I wanted to sound cool.
You were cool.
We all must cooperate?
This Contest won't be easy.
Even if you advance,
more hardships will come.
You can't do it alone.
It's a talented group.
I envy that.
I couldn't become Moorim successor
maybe because
I had no such friends.
We were young then.
You'll do well now.
So, Seon Ah,
believe in yourself.
You too, be strong.
Yes, Senior.
The kid in the fire may be me.
Soon Duk's dad.
Moorim School sent you
a Moorim Contest invitation.
- Moorim Contest? - Mm.
One sec. I'll read it.
Skip it!
And it includes braille.
What?
See? It's braille.
They specially prepared this for you.
- You got an invitation? - Yes, I did.
- I'll dress up. - You're pretty in anything.
Father is coming.
- He's busy but will come. - OK.
Don't overdo it.
Don't get hurt.
Don't worry, Mom.
Surprised?
Gosh.
What's with you?
Trying Gi Chae Sul?
- It won't be easy. - I never tried it
but a sandbag won't make it easy.
Huh?
Keep a person you want to protect in your mind
to bring out your power.
Soon Duk.
Mm?
- Hit me. - Huh?
What's up?
I'll block. Don't worry, hit hard.
I'll really hit you.
What? You said you'd block.
Once more.
Once more!
I'll hit hard.
Here I go.
Are you okay? You said you'd block.
You're okay?
It's strange. I've felt that before.
What's this?
I tried Gi Chae Sul
but it's not working.
Energy control?
To stop Soon Duk's fist?
Using energy?
I scared you? Sorry.
- Let's stop. - Stop what?
Don't.
You. This time, block it.
~ yeah, I'm alive, watch me ~
~ I'll arise many times ~
~ yeah, I'm alive ~
~ watch me, close your eyes and feel me ~
~ MOORIM SCHOOL ~
He found his energy.
You've been watching him?
You left successorship behind.
Why'd you leave?
A way to win with no-one getting hurt?
No such thing.
Shim Bong San.
Finding him finds the child.
It's my amulet.
Can you give it away?
I'll convince Dad. Precious people are here.
Do they...include me?
Nice to meet you.
I'm Wang Hao.
Winning isn't the aim.
Aren't they your dad's people?
You know something.
I must get stronger and win.
That's my way.
The 15th Moorim Contest now begins.
