Are you okay? You said you'd block.
Are you okay?
It's strange.
I've felt this before.
What's this?
I tried Gi Chae Sul. 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. Block this one properly.
Keep in mind someone you want to protect
to evoke your power.
~ MOORIM SCHOOL ~ Episode 12
You're leaving?
Yes.
I want to attend Moorim Contest
but I mightn't want to leave.
Alright.
Thanks for everything.
I'm unsure if I helped.
You did.
You're watching Shi Woo?
That brat found his way.
Though his power is incomplete,
it's under his control.
Yoon Shi Woo might be able
to achieve what no-one's done.
Senior.
You're going?
You caught me sneaking out.
Do well, Shi Woo.
I'm curious.
What?
Did Soon Duk really want to marry me?
She was drunk at a freshmen party.
That's not it.
Back then, why'd you run away?
You were made successor and ran.
I had people I wanted to protect.
My kid and my wife.
They were and are my priority.
So I ran away.
You didn't run off.
You took another path.
This punk...
I know you'll protect
those precious to you.
I will.
My best friend was my obstacle.
He was...
my unbeatable misfortune.
If you could go back,
what would you do?
Just...
give up everything?
Tae Oh left?
He went back to his beloved family.
Why didn't you tell me Tae Oh is married?
Why didn't you tell me you're practising Gi Chae Sul?
I wanted to surprise you.
It's not easy.
Don't be anxious.
Chi Ang worries me.
I know.
That's why you practised Gi Chae Sul?
I want nobody hurt.
Listen. You worked hard.
Take a snack break.
Shannon, for you.
Really? Thanks.
Mothers are happy seeing kids eat.
- Why do I feel that way? - Heck.
Are your parents coming?
- Mom's coming from Thailand. - My dad arrived.
Chi Ang, is your dad coming?
I'm not sure.
Soon Duk?
I don't know.
And Shi Woo?
What's with you, truly?
We got food to cheer them up.
- Sorry. - It's okay.
Prof. Yoo Di said she feels like our mom.
You can all cheer me on.
Gosh.
We'll cheer for you. Let's eat.
Your secret is too heavy for me?
What kind of secret?
Responsibility?
Your past or...
our relationship?
Dad.
I checked if you were asleep.
Seon Ah.
After the Contest, let's go on an outing?
Mm.
Our school has one Cheon-ui-joo Key part.
My heart's pounding.
Cheon-ui-joo.
If it's like a magic lamp...
Then?
What's your wish?
My wish is not to gain weight.
That's it?
"That's it"?
I gain weight just by breathing.
I came here to a schedule, meditation and working out
and got like this.
Oh, right.
- You used to be... - Ah.
I was an outcast loner.
What's your wish?
I...
want to be special.
Like what?
I'm the fourth of five sons.
They won't notice if I'm gone.
I'm invisible.
You look plain,
no special talents, so-so grades.
I'm unnoticeable.
I came here to stand out.
Problem is, I'm not outstanding.
Nadet, you?
I don't need it.
He's smart and athletic.
If he quit here,
other places want him.
He rejected Harvard and MIT for Moorim.
Mysterious punk.
Academia is boring.
It's fun here learning Musul and a variety of things.
What'd he say?
Dunno.
What's your wish?
Never give up my dreams is my wish.
- Hm? - Cheon-ui-joo can't
grant wishes, is what I think.
But if a wish came true,
won't it feel fake?
~ countless tears went by ~
~ in endless darkness ~
Ajumma.
Please come with Dad tomorrow.
~ even when I take a step ~
~ and let out a sigh ~
~ where does this road end? ~
I...won't give up on you.
I won't childishly chase you.
Instead, I'll show you who I am.
Not just an okay guy.
I'll be an amazing man.
~ I thought I could always reach you ~
~ Baby, I will protect you ~
Tomorrow...
if I win...
I'll see you,
Soon Duk.
~ Goodbye, you please don't say goodbye. Goodbye ~
~ Goodbye, you please don't say goodbye ~
Moorim admits the public for the first time.
You even
released the Seal yourself.
The barrier
is down.
Today is the day.
Are you ready?
- We'll do well. - Of course.
~ come to me, follow me, look at me ~
Moorim Contest!
- We will... - Knock 'em dead.
~ hot stage finally, everyone's crazy ~
~ party hard, crazily ~
~ I'm different (hey) I'm different (hey) ~
You aim to destroy me.
What if I win?
If I lose you...
or hurt you, I won't care.
~ I'm the king (I'm different) ~
~ ah, I'm the king ~
~ scream out ~
~ say eh (eh) eh (eh) ~
~ don’t stop till I say stop ~
~ say eh (eh) eh (eh) ~
~ go crazy today ~
~ I'm the king ~
Among listed competitors,
there's a familiar name.
Yeob Poong.
My brother is joining the competition?
It's an important contest.
Your family elders
mustn't have faith in you.
Not one but two. Big bro, not little.
They're hedging their bets.
Hi, I'm Nam Jae Sung.
Prof Beob Gong, hi.
It's an honour.
- Dean, I... - Go ahead.
Aren't you competing?
Yes. I want to.
You're determined, yet forgot to apply?
- Ah, entry form. - We accepted forms by proxy.
You had over 10 applications.
How did...?
Despite a betrayal, they're your friends.
I look forward to it.

Choi Ho?
Choi Ho!
Hey! Punk, I knew you'd come!
Did you train hard?
Isn't this great!
If we face off,
I won't go easy, I won't.
Quit fooling. I'm not like before.
Hey.
He's not coming?
Seems he won't come.
He'll come soon, for sure.
Think so?
Son.
Mom!
Are you well?
I pined for you.
You look good.
I dressed up.
Training was hard on you.
You face is thinner.
Hello.
This is...
Nice to meet you.
I'm Chi Ang's friend, Yoon Shi Woo.
- Friend? - Mm.
My roommate.
Goodness.
You share a room?
I worried you'd have no friends.
You have a good looking friend.
You could be a celebrity.
He's the Mobius band's idol.
He looked familiar.
Look after Chi Ang.
Yes, 'Mother'.
Where's Father?
Chairman had a meeting
He'll head out from China.
Okay.
Hwang Moo Song, it's been a while.
You came far.
For 20 years, I heard rumours of this place.
I'm impressed.
You hid a great school well since no-one knew of it.
I wanted students to focus on studies.
I look forward to seeing talented students today.
You won't be disappointed.
It's my amulet.
It protected me since I was young.
Today we're rivals.
Is giving me this okay?
I won't go easy on you.
Before rivals,
you're the one I love.
Let's go.
Mm.
For taking time in your busy schedules to be here,
I thank you on behalf of the whole staff.
For this Moorim Contest, for the first time
we've admitted outsiders.
Communication and understanding
will let us improve Moorim School.
Contestants, be true to Moorim, and, to the end, do your best
for a great contest.
Now, the 15th Moorim Contest begins.
I will explain the rules.
This Contest will be teams of 2 against 2.
16 teams of 2 will
be in Group A or B.
Winners advance to the finals
and the winning team will fight 1 on 1 to find the winner.
Each round is 10 minutes. If anyone exits the ring
or can't continue, the round is over.
The ball drawn decides teams, regardless of gender and age.
Two on two.
Interesting.
If your partner falls, you both lose.
Even if they're final rivals, they must protect each other.
Hwang Moo Song...
What's he thinking?
Soon Duk and Chi Ang are a team.
They'll be formidable.
You're a judge.
Be fair.
Let's do well.
Look after me.
Don't worry.
Get away.
That's Yeob Jung's older bro.
- He's Yeob Poong. - What? Why's he here?
Seon Ah's in his team. Be careful.
Yes.
(Winner: Wang Chi Ang & Shim Soon Duk)

~ here comes the fire ~
~ I don't know why ~
~ it's like I woke two eyes blind ~
~ I don't know why I didn't know ~

~ no matter how hard I try ~
~ some things can't be thrown away ~
~ just leave me alone for a while ~

Shi Woo, Jenny, Choi Ho, Chi Ang, Soon Duk, Nadet, Seon Ah, Yeob Jung, even Shannon!
A lot of our kids made it.
They'll advance, right?
Be impartial.
Wow. Moorim has more more talented kids than expected.
For sure.
Some are outstanding.
They're impressed.
The contest just began.
Until it ends, safety is important.
Of course.
The real game is about to begin.
Wait up.
Are you...the one looking for the drifters?
I had no idea Jeok Poong affiliated drifters
had survived.
I only watched that day.
I didn't know they'd kill to steal
Cheon-ui-joo Key.
Why'd you find me?
The drifter meant to meet you days ago
died.
Yet you came to me?
It may be my last chance
to atone for that day, so...
I risked my life to see you.
Did you see who took my child?
Yes.
Possibly...
Hwang Moo Song was his name?
No.
The drifter who took the kid
was blinded in a Jeok Poong attack.
Hwang Moo Song made the same inquiry.
It wasn't Hwang Moo Song?
No.
That blind man's name is...
Shim Bong San.
If you find him,
you'll find the kid.
OK then.
Shim Bong San.
- Madam! - Hi.
- I didn't want to come. - Careful, careful.
We're a bit late. What a to-do.
- Happy your dad came? - Mm.
Honestly,
Dad didn't permit me to come back.
I aimed to do well in the Contest
to win him over.
I see.
I understand his worry.
But...
I'll work extra hard.
This place
holds my dreams
and people precious to me.
So I had to come back.
Precious people?
Am I...
included among them?
Sure. Need you ask?
Quarter-finals will begin.
Please be seated.
That Shi Woo can fight.
- Can he? - Yes.
Yes.
Shi Woo is doing well.
Seriously.
Shi Woo is Shi Woo.
You're you.
You're great too.
And I'm your partner today.
Victory.
Go for it.
Nothing can defeat a knife.
( Choi Ho/Ling Ling VS. Chi Ang/Soon Duk )
Son.
Please don't get hurt.
That student is Wang Hao's son?
Is Chairman Wang still not here?
Soon Duk just knocked down her opponent!
That's it!
- It's close. - Yes.
Chi Ang mastered this fast.
It's amazing.
Professor.
Choi Ho has a knife.
Chi Ang.
This is exciting
but it's rough.
Dean, Choi Ho broke the rules.
Stop the match.
Wang Chi Ang!
What's this?
Stop this!
What's this?
- It's out of control. - It's wrong.
This punk won't quit.
The purpose is not for you to win.
Then?
Destroy the Contest, and the School that evicted you.
Show it has no principles.
To win, must I stab him?
Choi Ho!
They said a traitor is still their friend.
Though we accepted proxies,
10 entries were in your name.
I look forward to it.
Choi Ho!
What are you doing?
I...
am forfeiting.
We have another card, don't worry.
Yes.
Thanks.
I have to win
and get the Cheon-ui-joo Key.
- What? - So get me to the end.
He's like Yeob Jung.
I won't lose what Dad protected
to a guy like you.
Yeob Jung is going all out.
Why's it quiet?
- They fight scarily. - Yeah?
[ Yeob Jung/Kang Ho VS. Shi Woo/Jenny ] [ Seon Ah/Yeob Poong VS. Chi Ang/Soon Deok ]
Semi-finals begin in 1 hour.
- 'Father'. - You...
Thanks for coming today.
Soon Duk trained hard for this Contest.
It was...all for you.
Please watch how Soon Duk-
Aren't you...
Yoon Shi Woo, right?
Do you have childhood memories, like...
a fire or...
being abandoned?
Little details...
like that?
Just...
I heard it was a mountain.
I was crying under leaves.
A passing hiker found me.
Oh, Father. Are you okay?
With your shoulder like this, you should drop out.
Yes. Shi Woo and Jenny are tough.
I won't quit.
Chi Ang.
Don't go easy because I'm hurt.
Fight fair and square.
Let's end it today.
President, you came.
Good work here.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Wang Hao.
Evil energy!
Chairman, I heard much about you.
You sponsor the School. Sorry we never met sooner.
Thanks for inviting me.
Today I'm a parent, not a sponsor.
Don't mind me.
Yes.
Come in.
Carry out the next plan.
I won't disappoint you.
Make it happen.
Those people...from then...
She doesn't have what we're seeking.
What's wrong?
Why are those two with your father?
My father?
What about them?
That man and woman...
abducted me on the retreat.
I remember clearly.
Are you mistaken?
I'm certain!
Don't they work for your dad?
What's going on?
Chi Ang.
It's strange this incident happened there.
That company was shut down.
Does my father know?
I didn't tell him.
I didn't want him disappointed in you.
You know something, don't you?
Chi Ang.
Hey, answer!
Talk later.
I don't know what's going on.
Why'd Chi Ang's dad...
Chi Ang knows something.
Chi Ang helped me then!
He even got hurt.
I...
want to trust him.
Fine.
What are you up to, Father?
Group A's match begins now.
~ yeah, I'm alive, watch me~
~ I'll arise many times ~
~ yeah, I am alive, watch me ~
~ now close your eyes and feel me ~
Chi Ang. What's up?
Quit useless thinking.
Concentrate.
You'll go to the end?
That's my aim.
~ buried in my heart ~
~ a cry calling me ~
~ faint familiarity ~
~ barely holds me ~
~ your voice lingers in my ears ~
~ it's my only light beneath ~
~ surviving again (my spark) ~
~ yeah, I am alive, watch me ~
~ I'll arise many times ~
- Young Master is down! - What?
Chi Ang's weakness is exposed.
It's Shi Woo's chance.
Yes, it is a chance.
~ in the thick fog ~
~ like a lost child ~
~ no one will hear my scream ~
He's watching.
Father is watching me!
~ a cry calling me ~
~ faint familiarity ~
~ barely holds me ~
~ hidden shadows in me ~
~ without your shine ~
A way to win, hurting no-one?
No such thing.
I'll be stronger.
I'll win...I'll gain power...
I'll protect my dear ones.
That's my way.
~ eh eh, I'll show myself ~
~ eh, eh, I live, breathe, reborn ~
~ yeah, I am alive ~
What just happened?
How'd he do that?
Gi Chae Sul.
I'd never seen that.
So that's it.
Chi Ang.
Chi Ang, get checked out.
I know how you feel
but get treated first-
You know how I feel?
You?
Chi Ang.
I waited for today
to beat him in front of Father
and you.
But I lost, totally lost.
How could you
know how I feel?
You were injured.
You had a disadvantage.
So Shi Woo didn't fully attack.
That angers me more.
That punk never fought fully.
Not just today.
Only I tried to win.
It was just me.
I didn't want to be a loser.
Sorry.
Chi...
Go to Chi Ang.
The next match is due to start.
You go.
You need to go, not me.
You console him.
He's hurt!
Because of you, and me.
He fought to win for us but you won't see him?
Will you do this?
Father.
Your mom is worried.
Return to the hall.
That man and woman abducted me on the trip.
I remember them.
You knew, right?
What did you tell Secretary Jang to do?
Soon Duk saw Secretary Jang at her abduction.
What are you hiding?
Were you really...
involved in that incident?
Father.
Why'd you send me here?
That upset you more than disappointing me.
Calm down.
What are you plotting?
Don't say you don't know of Soon Duk's abduction.
Fine.
I knew.
Then...really...
you abducted Soon Duk?
I didn't.
Then what?
Soon Duk wasn't the kid I had to talk to.
"The kid"?
Hwang Moo Song's kid.
Hwang Seon Ah, is it?
She's Hwang Moo Song's kid?
You wanted to meet Seon Ah?
I don't get it.
To talk to her, you could've found
a more pleasant method.
Sure.
You could've come to the school.
Hwang Moo Song sealed the School.
Is it to protect you?
In the guise of protection,
can't he protect his flaw?
His flaw?
Behind the wall he raised,
for 18 years he hid a secret.
He hid the ugly truth
behind a barrier to the outside
and let no-one find that secret.
I had to look for it myself.
Moorim Contest will be
a great chance for your family.
18 years ago,
the family guarding Cheon-ui-joo Key
was killed.
The person behind it...
wanted Cheon-ui-joo Key.
He set the house on fire
and took the 4 year-old girl who had the Key.
Oh goodness.
It's so scary.
Yeob Jung!
- Stop it. - Get off!
What's he doing?
Stop him. He might...
That man had nowhere to run.
Deep into Moorim Mountain,
he set up a Seal.
He hid that kid and the Key.
Is that now...
Yes.
That man is...
your Dean, Hwang Moo Song.
Am I wrong, Dean Hwang?
~ MOORIM SCHOOL ~
We'll close the School.
Where's the Cheon-ui-joo Key from Chae Yoon's daughter?
I don't have it.
What's your dad up to?
He gets what he wants.
Chairman!
Stay at school.
What do you want from me?
Know what to do!
All this is for you.
I thought it was a good school!
Soon Duk!
I'm sorry.
I mightn't return here.
Cheon-ui-joo caused the abduction?
Just say it's all a lie.
This school and you are my whole world.
I have a photo. Take it to Seon Ah.
This man...
is alive.
