Dae Hwi is Student X as expected.
I know it's you even without a hoodie.
You bother me too much.
It was you?
Yes, you dimwit. You are so consistent.
You almost got me caught.
You.
- What? - You're a copycat, right?
Did you borrow that from Duk Soo?
(School 2017)
(Something the Student Evaluation Doesn't Record)
What? A copycat?
I don't do anything that isn't original.
I don't even like making photocopies.
I can't stand copies.
I see. I guess not.
Oh my. Here's X!
Are you insane? You crazy?
Who copies others anymore?
Are you a kid?
- Hey. - What?
What?
You're the real deal?
This doesn't make sense.
That's a bad habit, distrusting people.
Why are you X?
X fights for justice, and...
He's good-looking, gets good grades...
Why are you X?
I meet all the criteria.
- It's a perfect match. - What the...
Fine. Here. Happy?
You don't have a wound on your side, do you?
Of course, not on my side.
Because it's right here.
- Want to see it? - Forget it!
- Shall I remove my pants? - Forget it!
You pervert.
Then what?
Does it mean you're X for certain?
Yes.
You little...
What a sudden attack.
You want to bring it on?
Are you really Student X?
Why did you do such a thing?
Just because I was annoyed and bored.
Just because?
Bored?
Was it fun?
Without knowing anything,
I ran around to find X.
Was it fun to watch?
Didn't you think I was stupid and pathetic?
- Eun Ho. - I was so desperate.
You might've done it...
because you were annoyed and bored,
but because of it, I...
I suffered so much.
So I saved you.
Saved me?
Tae Woon.
Go play being a hero alone by yourself.
I get it now.
Because it's no problem for you.
Even if...
you get caught, it's your dad's school.
Am I wrong?
Hey, you're out of line.
You'll be fine anyway even if you get caught.
Here...
Didn't you just hear something?
I didn't.
This isn't the place you're looking for.
It's where we keep junk.
But I do have a feeling about this place.
- I'm sure. - Look.
Do you usually not listen to people like this?
No, I don't.
Hey.
If we get caught now, you will become an accomplice.
Where's the key? Have you still not found it?
I should.
But I'm telling you, this is not it.
Then I'll have to break the door down.
What?
Let go.
Let's stop now.
Stop what?
You stop your childish doings.
Because of you...
Selfish jerk.
I don't want to see you anymore.
Report me then.
Do it if you want to.
This is good.
I was going to stop this anyway.
Yes, I'm planning on it.
You won't be afraid of something so petty to you.
Because of your dad,
this school is your playground,
and the other students are your toys, am I wrong?
I see.
I am that kind of jerk.
You know well.
So watch your attitude.
I get that you're upset and dumbfounded,
but say only what you know.
Sure.
I dared...
shoot my mouth off thoughtlessly to you.
- I didn't know my place. - Now you know...
where your place is.
Merit-demerit system,
giving out lunch by the order of ranks,
and revealing their grades in public.
It was all reported to the Office of Education.
They're saying we're abusing the students.
I don't know what to say.
We'll be able to make this slide this time,
but the kids these days are something.
That punk, especially.
Right, I'll do whatever is necessary...
to catch X.
He might not be someone ordinary.
You have to consider his actions illegal...
and hold him responsible.
(Chicken coupon)
You won't be afraid of something so petty to you.
This school is your playground,
and the other students are your toys, am I wrong?
You don't even know anything.
I get that you're upset and dumbfounded,
but say only what you know.
Hi, Nam Joo.
Sit here.
"He's reading again."
You thought so, right?
"Jerk." I had this thought too.
Well... This book.
I know. It's because of your student evaluation.
You have to fill it in by reading.
I guess you have nothing to worry.
Why?
I mean...
your consultant will take care of everything.
About your student evaluation.
I guess so.
You do your volunteering at your dad's company?
My dad's company?
Did your grandfather found the company?
I saw that it has a long history.
Simgang Logistics.
I got to know about it as I was researching.
Are you worried about something?
You don't look good at all.
Nothing. I'm fine.
Compare it with your freshman evaluation.
Check the ones you have to input...
for this year's record.
There might be some things I missed.
You know it's not allowed to go public with...
your evaluation during a semester, right?
- Let us check ours. - Goodness.
Awards, certificates, personal goals...
Don't leave anything out.
Come up with a thorough future plan...
comparing it to the last year's.
You know your evaluations represent yourselves.
- Make it nice. - Okay.
Come talk to me whenever you have a question.
Can you believe this?
They're saying this is me.
"He has a lot of thoughts and is always careful."
Do I...
think a lot?
Try doing so from now on.
What?
"He's straightforward in expressing his opinions."
That's you, Tae Woon.
"Straightforward".
What a terrible description.
What's student evaluation?
Kids go crazy whenever they hear about it.
It's like...
their life records.
They go to college based on student evaluations.
Depending on how great it's written,
they go to different levels of colleges.
Mr. Shim.
I need to talk to you.
My student evaluation needs urgent help.
What will happen to my daughter?
My goodness. What should I do?
Make way!
Her student evaluation is in critical condition!
- Hurry! - Oh, no!
- Eun Ho! - Hurry.
Go take a seat there.
Doctor, please save our daughter.
She needs to go to college no matter what.
- Trust us. - She's not that talented,
but she's kind-hearted and eats well.
- Wait here. - Please save her!
- Please! - Please!
What should we do?
Let's start.
Show me the chart.
She's tier six. That's terrible.
This tier won't make her go to college.
How is her student evaluation?
It won't be useful in her college acceptance.
It's almost empty.
She needs to do various activities...
such as winning awards, volunteering, and reading.
I don't think she'll make it.
She's tier six and has a lot of demerits.
If things go wrong, she might harm others.
Her extracurricular activities are the same.
It's impossible to fill it in.
I guess her teacher's comment is the only way.
How long does she have left?
It's the 1st semester of her 2nd year.
If she turns senior next year,
she'll be too busy studying.
I told you not to accept her in the first place.
High student record is for those from a rich family.
How can she go to college with this trash?
Scalpel.
Isn't it great since it's not based on your grades?
Colleges are accepting students...
by evaluating their activities, not grades.
I guess so.
They have to come up with a nice explanation...
for their talents and dreams.
Each sentence is all about money.
In order to put in various activities,
you have to take several private lessons.
What is it then?
You just need to study all your might...
if you are to get accepted through your grades.
But in case of student record,
you need to have money to go to college.
Right.
I guess it was much better...
when people went to college by grades.
So...
Your student record is...
quite a mess.
I won't be able to go to any college...
at this rate, correct?
Did you say, "Yes"?
We've still got time.
Let's not give up and think hard about it.
Okay.
By the way, Mr. Shim.
Don't our school have any drawing contest?
I'm not sure. Not that I heard of.
I can try really hard for something like that.
I'll look into it.
Anyway, don't give up on your evaluation.
Let's try every means, okay?
Try getting advice from your seniors.
My seniors?
Hi, Jong Geun!
I have something to ask you.
It's about a student evaluation.
Shall I visit you at your school tomorrow?
Backpacking?
Girlfriend?
By any chance, are you a college couple?
Congratulations.
Jong Geun, I'll call you again later.
Okay, bye.
His face was that of a betrayer.
I shouldn't have gotten myself involved then.
Look who's talking.
I could go to Hanguk...
only if I wasn't framed nor got so many demerits.
Hanguk, my foot.
What?
Only if you weren't at the teachers' room then...
It was the last for me too.
I was going to stop if it weren't for you.
- It's all because of you. - What?
Your excuse doesn't even make sense.
I could've put an end to it...
unless you got framed dimwittedly.
Why didn't you?
Why didn't you put an end...
- to yourself and me too? - How could I?
Look.
I wouldn't regret even if I got caught...
and dropped out of school.
But you have friends...
and your tacky dream to be a webtoon artist.
I thought you shouldn't drop out, satisfied?
This is ridiculous.
Must I say it out loud to make you understand?
Anyway.
Don't think I'll let it slip.
The director's son.
I'll keep an eye on you forever, so be careful.
So... Where are you going?
Why do you ask?
You said you'd keep an eye on me.
That's not how you keep your eyes on me.
It's true that I feel apologetic to you,
so I'll be this much considerate.
So that you can keep your eyes on me comfortably.
- Tae Woon. - What?
I guess you think the Earth revolves around you.
That's right.
It's so childish of her to read comic books.
Why would she want to read comic books?
It even smells in here.
Leave.
I won't.
- Did you read this? - I watched its movie.
If you're to wear a mask,
you need a strong sense of justice like him at least.
Or a desire to save lives.
Or a willingness to sacrifice yourself.
Don't you think so, X?
Gosh, seriously!
Why did you do it, X?
Why on earth did you do it?
Just because. It happened to happen.
I felt frustrated in school,
so I wanted a little bit of fun.
Fun...
Are you sure that's all?
That's all.
Here.
Reading comic books isn't my thing.
I'm laughing not because it's fun,
but because it's childish.
Whatever.
Since you laughed, you need to pay for it.
Don't you think so?
Gosh, it's hot.
That little...
Smile, all right?
It's a total exploitation of labor. I won't do it.
All right then.
I'll go meet your dad now.
Tae Woon is Student...
Do you want to be with me that much?
You're wrong.
(Moonjun Test Prep)
Thank you.
Hello.
Remember what I told you before?
Dae Hwi!
Hi.
You're working hard.
What are you doing here?
Whatever.
You're still doing this?
Let's go.
See you later. Bye.
Bye.
My mom's here.
Okay.
That's right.
Did you finish the assessment?
Hold on.
Here's art.
Music.
This is history.
Thanks.
I'm sure you didn't have time to study yourself,
but you did mine too.
It's not like I did it for free.
(Student Evaluation)
The balance and merger of nature and science.
These are good to discuss before an interviewer.
As for his multi-cultural experience,
it's not bad,
but if it's predictable or doesn't stand out,
it may be a minus.
I never knew this would be a minus.
Time's up. It's been an hour.
Ma'am.
I put in a little extra. How about 10 more minutes?
Sure. I'll take a look.
You're top of your class.
Still, Seoyul will be tough.
There's nothing unique about your awards.
You need to plan how to link your awards...
to your personal statement and interview,
but you don't have enough school awards,
and they lack impact.
You mean...
like competitions at the school?
I think that should be plenty of help.
Dae Hwi. Hand me that and step out.
Okay.
I bought a bag.
It's summer, so I got a nice, light color.
Thank you.
Hee Chan will get into Seoyul no problem, right?
Of course.
His student evaluation is outstanding.
You know it's all about the student evaluation.
If you'd add a competition win, it would be the best.
I think the school will hold a few competitions.
As for volunteer work, medical work is best.
Something moving and self-sacrificing.
It'll score the highest.
That's easy.
His uncle and aunts are all doctors.
It's of such help to the school...
to have such involved parents as yourselves.
It's only natural. You're teaching our kids.
I wish everyone had the same mentality you do.
I mean,
so many parents don't care about their children.
Not everyone is worthy of being a parent.
Anyway,
they're juniors now.
It's time to finalize their student evaluations.
Yes. Actually, I was planning to...
hold competitions before finals.
Good. They'll be too busy studying senior year.
It'll be hard to work on their evaluations.
That's right.
Naturally, we have to take care of it.
(Student Report Card)
(Rank in class: 2, Rank in school: 2)
How can you never beat Dae Hwi even once?
He can't go to Seoyul anyway!
Regardless, second place means you lost.
You have to win next time, okay?
Fine.
Here.
There will be a math competition soon.
I put together some sample questions.
Why are you being so serious?
But giving the students an equal opportunity...
is proper...
You are so dense, it's infuriating.
Don't you get it?
You give it to the same kids.
Student evaluations are about selection and focus.
Some students need special specs.
Giving the few better students...
more opportunities...
is true equal opportunity.
Still, once the student evaluation stage ends,
it'll be hard for them to improve it later on.
Even if we give them the chance,
they can't go to college.
It's because the school discriminates so much,
that they learn how to discriminate at school.
Hey.
What is it?
Mr. Shim said to come in for evaluation counseling.
What?
Why don't you tattle to the teachers again?
I can't believe anything you say.
You listen to the teachers...
so well, don't you?
He said if you don't go,
he'll make us see Ms. Soo Ji to discuss...
school violence.
The admissions person said...
it doesn't have as big an impact as we think,
if you show reform after the violence incident.
Do you know what I mean?
I said I'm not going to college.
Don't you understand me?
- Young Gun. - I can't...
get into college with my grades.
Will my demerit-ridden evaluation get me in?
Mr. Shim.
Don't waste your time on kids like that.
You just have to write a short sentence for them.
She's right.
She can't get into college anyway.
You said to choose and focus,
and to go all-in.
I'm going crazy.
What's wrong?
I have to fill up my student evaluation,
but I don't know how.
Why don't you...
try making your webtoon into a series?
If you get a good response,
it may help your college application.
A series.
I always figured I'd do it someday.
Will it do well?
I think it will.
You draw well.
Really?
Do you really think that?
Have you ever seen my drawings?
Yes, of course.
You're so lucky.
You don't have to worry,
since you're the top of the class.
That's right.
We have to go clean.
How annoying.
If this is what you call "clean",
I'll extend the punishment!
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Go!
Congrats. You came in first.
There aren't any more art competitions, right?
I don't think so.
Excuse me.
Was there an art competition?
- I'll go now. - Okay.
When was it? I didn't know about it.
Well.. It was announced.
You must've missed it.
I didn't see a single notice.
Don't tell me...
you didn't tell me intentionally.
You need to be ranked high enough...
for it to help your college application.
It wouldn't help you.
Wait. Whether or not it would help,
you should give us the same opportunity.
How could...
a school discriminate against students?
Watch how you talk.
Let me say one more thing.
All the students at Geumdo...
value their lives and are desperate.
The top kid's future isn't the only one that matters.
Was the competition announced already?
Competition?
The math competition. Isn't that why you came?
The director is...
Anyway, you'll be notified.
Do you still live like that?
You're still obedient to your dad.
Worry about yourself.
Oh no. Isn't it time to do Hee Chan's homework?
What would you know?
I know very well.
Why?
Are you hoping he'll throw some scraps your way?
Shut it.
But then again,
why would you even enter a math competition?
There will be a math competition soon.
These are the answers. Memorize them.
I won't enter.
Give this opportunity to kids who are desperate.
I'm fine.
What's your problem?
Others would kill for this opportunity.
That's why I don't want it.
It's degrading.
You've been quiet for a while. Are you bored?
Don't worry. I won't cause trouble.
You'll cover it all up anyway.
When I beat up my friend,
when my friend died, you did the same.
If you know that, get your act together.
I won't let you live however you please.
Joon Gi. Let go.
Joon Gi!
Tae Woon.
That's what was caught on the dash cam.
So the fact is,
Joon Gi suddenly drove in front of the bus.
He was a delinquent anyway.
(Song Dae Hwi)
That's right.
The school has nothing to say other than...
That sounds like a good headline.
I'm glad to know a reporter like you.
Hello?
Hello, director.
I'm terribly sorry for your loss.
This is from the director.
(Director of Geumdo High, Hyun Kang Woo)
My condolences.
(Director of Geumdo High, Hyun Kang Woo)
We decided...
to cremate him tomorrow.
No one will come anyway.
Keeping him around longer will only make it harder.
I want him to forget this wretched world...
and fly away.
Where's Tae Woon?
Thank you, Dae Hwi.
Joon Gi boasted a lot about you.
He said you were smart and good-looking,
and that you were kind too.
Whenever he spoke,
it was about you and Tae Woon.
He wanted to quit school,
but after he met you guys...
If only I were a little younger...
If I were a few years younger, Joon Gi...
wouldn't have died on the street.
My poor Joon Gi.
You poor kids.
(Director of Geumdo High, Hyun Kang Woo)
I'm sorry.
- Please, I'm begging you. - But...
Let Joon Gi see his classroom...
I wish I could let you, but I can't.
Please.
My poor Joon Gi. Please.
Please let him go in just once.
Do something, will you?
If the urn comes into the school,
it'll distract the kids.
It's exam time.
Of course. You're right.
If we create gossip for people to talk about,
people will keep digging into it.
What the...
Father.
Please...
Please let Joon Gi see the school before he goes.
Please, I'm begging you.
Please.
Please let him see the school just once.
I'll listen to everything you say from now on.
Please, let him see the school one last time.
Please let him.
I owe Joon Gi...
Just once!
Just once.
Let him do it just once.
Now and then,
I'm still a loser.
(Chicken coupon)
Hey you!
Who orders delivery all the way here?
And with a free coupon too.
I thought a pretty girl was going to deliver it.
Is she coming?
Is she?
This...
was an excuse, right?
Seriously.
Do you like...
What the...
messing with me?
You got me.
I'll think of another excuse next time.
What's going on?
Did your dad catch you?
I'm not you, always getting caught.
(Winning every competition)
Aren't you working today?
I already did.
You work so hard.
Naturally.
I have to work super-duper hard,
so I won't feel guilty.
I'm living in place of someone else.
I'm going to do my best...
in everything,
for his sake.
I feel bad,
so I have to try hard.
So,
stop wasting your life and try hard.
You...
must think of him...
much more than I do.
(Math Competition Announcement)
Are you...
going to enter?
Yes. I want to try.
A Seoyul professor is a judge.
I hear the questions will be tough.
They say it'll be hard...
unless you've prepared just for it.
Still, I'm pretty confident in math.
I have to give it a try.
Okay.
Got it.
Good luck.
(High School Study Manuals)
Did you solve the competition problems?
They're tough.
I know the answers, but I still can't get it.
The competition problems?
You know the answers?
Well...
the thing is...
Just tell him.
So he won't waste his time.
It's an important test, so...
You guys...
have the answer sheet?
Tae Woon...
is going to come in first anyway.
It's not just us.
Tae Woon...
is entering a math competition?
You know...
it's all about enhancing certain kids' transcripts.
This time,
I don't think there's room for you.
There's no room for me?
Good for you.
Did I just mishear you?
You heard correctly.
Money really is nice.
If you have a rich daddy,
you become smart too.
What, you punk?
Let go. If you keep irritating me,
I'll kill you all.
Him and his pride.
What's with him?
The math competition.
He didn't know, and studied hard.
We told him the winner was predetermined,
and he got mad.
He doesn't know his place.
You're so consistent.
What do you mean?
You're consistently a scumbag.
Hi.
I'm glad you're here. Come.
- He's my son. - I see.
What are you doing?
I'm getting a credit card.
I need a guarantor.
But he's a high school student. Is that okay?
He's not allowed, actually.
But if he signs an oath that once he's an adult,
he'll be jointly accountable...
Dae Hwi. You have to fill out this part here.
Write your name,
and your number. Fill it out.
Hey. What's wrong with you?
What are you doing?
Please, stop.
Please, stop already!
Please, stop.
Please, stop already!
Please,
stop already!
Good going.
You came in first in Hangook's essay contest.
You'll be accepted as a top student for sure.
Congrats.
- Mr. Shim. - Yes?
I can't go to Hanguk.
- What? - My family...
can't afford a private college.
I need to go to Seoyul, no matter what.
Are you worried about your student evaluation?
Enter as many competitions at the school as you can.
I will. But there aren't very many, so...
There are three left in this semester.
Even if I win them all, it's only three lines.
You know, the math competition coming up...
That's right. You entered that, right?
You have to win, no matter what.
Seoyul considers math...
and science competitions heavily.
You're by far the strongest in math.
Sure. Thank you.
Good luck. You can make it there.
Okay.
(School Math Competition)
You're top of your class.
Still, Seoyul will be tough.
You don't have enough school awards,
and they lack impact.
You know...
it's all about enhancing certain kids' transcripts.
This time, I don't think there's room for you.
(Geumdo High School)
Your story is so...
Why did the hero give out lemonade,
of all things?
You should explain his line of thought.
And what is his line of thought?
When did you get so close?
What is that line of thought?
You're so dimwitted.
Forget it.
What could it be?
He gives out lemonade.
What is this?
What could it be?
So...
if you'd empathize a little with the hero,
wouldn't you be able to understand how he feels?
It's hard.
It's hard. Very hard.
Empathize? Like this?
Where are you going?
To get some air.
At this hour?
(School Math Competition)
(School Math Competition Questions and Answers)
You.
(School 2017)
You hypocrite.
Do you want to hide it that badly?
You can't even live your own life right.
I like you.
Should I accept it or not?
Don't see Dae Hwi anymore.
Don't get involved in his business.
I finally found the key to the storage room.
I've got you now.
