(Ye Suh's album)
Because of Young Jae...
Finally, the day for revenge has come.
Tomorrow, I'll escape from this inferno.
Now that I gave her the SNU's Med School acceptance letter,
I've fulfilled my job as a son.
I, Park Young Jae, am not your son anymore.
What kind of parents would raise a child just to boast?
Don't look for me.
With this, I'm cutting all ties with you two.
Gosh.
Isn't Young Jae completely out of his mind?
"Young Jae"?
Is he the boy that used to live here?
Yes, his mom took her own life.
Yeh Bin, let's stop reading this.
I think that's for the best.
Why? It got me curious.
This looks like Young Jae's diary.
Would it be okay to read someone else's diary?
But why does my mom have this?
Your mom had it?
The family that lived here before us must've left this.
- It's mine. - Sorry?
I had lent it to them.
I gave it to your mom and asked her to pass it along to that family.
I figured they forgot it here.
Ms. Lee, did you tell my mom on me?
No, I didn't tell on you.
I didn't want her to worry, so I just told her you're here.
Still, how could you tell my mom?
Gosh.
You should've brought her home the moment you saw her.
I texted you.
You always act like this and complicate things.
What?
Kang Yeh Bin, you brat.
How could you run away from home?
You even stole my tablet PC.
What are you mad about?
Did I never scolded you for the shoplifting...
or doing badly on the exam?
You ran away when you should be apologizing on your knees?
What are you unhappy about?
Young Jae also said it.
that he wanted to escape from this inferno.
How much did you read?
Did Ms. Lee also read it?
We only read his last journal.
Ms. Lee stopped me from reading more.
You read all of Young Jae's journals, didn't you?
Why do you think he did such a thing?
Well, that's...
It's the same as how you relieved stress at the convenience store.
Wouldn't Young Jae have stress as well?
But instead of doing what you did, he just relieved it by writing...
whatever that came to his mind.
He was just relieving stress?
Even when his mom died?
You know how much Young Jae's mom loved Young Jae, right?
Well, yes.
Imagine how hurt she must've been...
when she found out that her precious son...
wanted to cut ties with his parents...
and was planning on taking revenge on them.
I was also very hurt when I read Young Jae's journal.
But why did Young Jae behave like that?
You can never tell anyone what I'm about to tell you.
People can't ever find out about this for Young Jae's sake.
To be honest,
Young Jae was very sick.
- Young Jae, what's wrong? - Ever since he was in ninth grade,
he started suffering from a mental illness.
Please... Please save me.
- Young Jae, look at me. - Save me.
Look at me. Young Jae! Young Jae.
He became better after he got treated for a year.
But he had a relapse after he was done with his CSATs.
That's why he wrote all those stuff in his journal.
Really?
But that doesn't explain why his mom died.
Maybe she was really upset.
I also feel like I want to die at times...
every time you behave like this.
So imagine how bad it must've been for Young Jae's mom.
Yeh Bin, life is hard, right?
I know it's hard too.
But to me, your future is a lot more important...
than what's going on right now.
That's why I always nag at you to study hard.
Do you understand?
Yes, I know what you mean.
But it's just so suffocating.
You didn't want to learn the violin, art, or horseback riding.
But if you also hate studying on top of that,
what are you going to become in the future?
I already told you that your dad and I...
can't take care of you when you're a grown-up, right?
Are you going to ask your sister for money?
No.
Okay, fine. I'll study. I will.
Promise me...
that you'll never run away from home again.
You should talk things out with me regardless of how upset you may be.
Promise me that.

(Revenge, Inferno, Source of pride, The right to be a parent)
What kind of parents would raise a child just to boast?
Don't look for me.
With this,
I'm cutting all ties with you two.
Get out of here. Go.
Don't ever come back again. Do you understand?
Have you gone mad? Are you crazy?
What's wrong with you? Why are you acting so unusual?
Bring back Ga Eul.
Who are you to kick her out? You have no right.
She's six years older than you.
She's our housekeeper.
I know she's uneducated,
but how could I let that wench stay in my house?
How many times do I need to tell you...
that I can't live in this house without her?
Why can't you live in this house? What's so great about her?
Do you even know how I feel?
You stand with your arms crossed and ask me to get a perfect score.
All you want is a perfect score, so how would you know how I feel?
How dare you behave this way?
You shouldn't get involved. I'll try to stop him. I'll do it.
I'm too embarrassed to even live.
I can't believe you got involved with a wench like that.
What are you going to do after you find an insect like her?
Are you going to marry her or what?
"Insect"?
If someone's uneducated and poor, do they need to be called insects?
You people are the insects for looking down on people...
who didn't graduate SNU.
What?
"You people"?
You punk, have you gone crazy?
I told you to stay out of it.
You are so obsessed with SNU's Medical School.
You don't care what happens to me...
or how difficult things are for me.
You just want me to get into SNU's Medical School.
Forget it if you're not smart or competent enough.
Me, your grandfather, and all your other cousins went to that school,
so why can't you?
Where in the world did that idiot come from?
You are nothing if I just take you out of our family tree.
Fine, go ahead. Take me out of the family tree.
Go ahead! Do it!
I no longer want to live in this house anyway.
What?
You don't want to live here?
Follow me.
Young Jae!
Why are you being like this?
Why are you causing a fuss over that worthless wench?
Your finals start in two days.
What if you fail to get into a specialized high school?
Honey.
Move. I'm going to teach that punk a lesson today.
Why are you making things worse? You should try to calm him down.
This is all because of Ga Eul.
We kicked her out, so things will get better with time.
Move.
Honey, no. Honey. Young Jae!
Get on your knees.
I said, get on your knees.
Honey, please put that gun away.
Please put the gun away.
How could you disappoint me like this?
I can't believe that idiotic coward is my son.
Young Jae. You should get on your knees first.
Get on your knees and apologize. Hurry up.
Get on your knees!
I'd rather live without a son like you.
Are you crazy?
Young Jae.
Young Jae, look at Mom.
Young Jae, look at Mom. Are you okay?
Mom.
Please... Please save me.
- Save me. - Young Jae, look at Mom.
- Look at me. - Save me.
Young Jae. Young Jae!
Young Jae, wake up.
Young Jae. Young Jae.
Young Jae, wake up.
Young Jae!
I thought Young Jae had nothing to do with the problem.
What do you think wrecked their relationship so badly?
Didn't you say Young Jae was coached for three years?
Kim Joo Young might know something.
Suh Jin fired Ms. Kim as a coach once.
Do you think that was after she read Young Jae's diary?
That's possible.
The coach could've influenced Young Jae a lot.
The diary could've spooked her.
Then Coach Kim would've known Young Jae wanted revenge, right?
- What are they talking... - She would have.
Though I'm not sure if a teacher would've kept quiet.
Sue Lim.
Can we talk?
What do you know to blab about?
Coach Kim had nothing to do with Young Jae's diary.
Don't be mistaken.
It's incredibly hard to get into Seoul National's Med school.
Young Jae got in with the sole purpose of getting revenge.
Are you saying his coach didn't know that?
She didn't.
His parents knew nothing.
How could a tutor know?
Fine, let's say she didn't know.
It's a fact that Young Jae's mother's dead.
She hired a professional coach...
for three years to get him into medical school.
He got in, then tried to leave his family.
I can't stop thinking...
that coach called Kim Joo Young is at the center of it all.
- Don't you think so? - Don't be mistaken.
Young Jae's parents are the ones that brought the tragedy.
They wanted a third-generation doctor...
and ignored his well-being...
and that was the center of the tragedy.
Why did you...
fire that coach shortly after you hired her?
Were you scared by what you read?
Weren't you?
You knew the coach had to have influenced Young Jae.
Not at all. Then I'd have fired her for good.
That's why you fired her,
but then your greed got the better of you.
Because she can guarantee a spot in SNU's Med School.
You...
So what? What does that have to do with you?
Coach Kim doesn't tutor Woo Joo.
She tutors my daughter. Why is this your business?
I'm worried about you.
Your greed to make your daughter a doctor's making you ignore...
I should really rip your lips off.
How dare you lecture me?
Hey.
Don't worry about me and raise your own kid right.
Isn't she a crazy witch?
What did she teach Young Jae for three years...
that gave him that idea?
Shouldn't she have at least told Myung Joo?
She's a scary witch.
We also tried to hire her to teach our kids.
The thought scares me.
It's not just scary.
I wanted to hire her three years from now.
Suh Jin.
- Suh Jin, let's talk. - Later.
I didn't get your logic about the convenience store.
It was obviously theft, but you called it a stress-reliever.
Fine.
Some moms go that far to brag about...
their kid being in med school.
I didn't complain because I thought you had it figured out.
But what?
You were closest to Myung Joo than any of us.
That coach made Myung Joo dead...
and ruined Young Jae's life.
- So what? - "So what?"
How could you let that woman tutor Yeh Suh?
You should grab her by the hair and drag her around,
but instead, you're praising her.
You really disgust me sometimes.
Didn't you say I was making a mistake for firing her...
because you might not get her to coach your son?
That was when I didn't know the story.
University is important,
but how can you let a family-breaker near your kid?
You said you'd do anything I told you to.
Did you ever see me talk back to Myung Joo?
I didn't even step on her shadow.
How dare you talk back to me?
- I'm afraid you'll pay dearly. - Me?
I'll pay dearly?
Stop worrying pointlessly and stop crossing the line.
I noticed that you sometimes inch over the line.
Is she the 38th parallel? Why can't I cross over?
How annoying.
Can I really trust and follow her?
Why did you...
fire that coach shortly after you hired her?
Were you scared by what you read?
Weren't you?
You knew the coach had to have influenced Young Jae.
How could you let that woman tutor Yeh Suh?
University is important,
but how can you let a family-breaker near your kid?
No. There's no problem.
Yeh Suh is not like Young Jae.
She's definitely different.
In the mock English exam, the killer questions that split...
the good students from the best were much more difficult.
Yeh Suh got full marks.
She's so good at English,
it's almost a pity the exam's an absolute evaluation.
She got full marks in math too.
That's because she has the basic definitions down pat.
Problems that take other students 10 minutes,
Yeh Suh solves in less than five.
She got full marks in every other subject...
but Korean literature is the problem.
She never got any of the difficult questions wrong.
Why does she keep messing up on a two-point question...
that everyone else gets right?
Yeh Suh's grammar and vocabulary are perfect,
but she often lets her own opinion cloud her judgment in the exam.
You said the same thing...
after the mid-term exam.
I apologize. We'll get full marks next time.
What about extra-curricular activities?
Last month, she visited Orthopedics at Joonam Hospital.
She observed a surgery...
and took a lecture on...
how to write a paper in medicine.
This month she will visit...
Neurosurgery and the CT scan theater.
She also volunteers every weekend at a nursing home.
Of course, she hands in regular written reports.
Thanks to your help, I was able to win all the awards.
I won the grand prize in the book report contest.
I also won gold at the Young Scholars' Conference.
The results from the science competition aren't out yet,
but I'm sure I'll win again.
We'll start preparing for the final exams tomorrow.
I want you all to submit a study plan for each subject.
And needless to say, your goal should be...
getting 100 percent on every exam.
If you make one more mistake...
Three strikes and you're out. You know, right?
Please don't worry, teacher. It was just a mistake.
I'll be sure to get 100 percent next time.
Are you embarrassed in front of Yeh Suh?
Having Yeh Suh sit in...
every time we analyze the exam results is a little...
Don't kid yourselves.
You're mere trainers, not teachers.
No student thinks of you as teachers,
and no parent respects you...
as their children's teachers.
Only the outcome...
can prove your value.
Do you all understand?
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
Yeh Suh, let's go to the meditation room.
You got the highest score on both the midterms and the mock test.
Are you satisfied?
Of course, I've never missed out on being the top student.
That's not true.
Hye Na beat you this time.
I came in first place and Hye Na came in second.
Right, you did come in first place.
You lost 2 points, whereas she lost 3.
However, you had the overwhelming advantage over her.
The teachers went over the questions from the past years...
as well as all the expected questions.
We also did countless exam simulations.
You should've gotten 100 percent.
You beat her only by one point, yet you smile?
Are you satisfied?
Even though she lost to you by one point,
she's more independence, creativity, leadership, and friends.
She surpasses you in every aspect.
I'm certain that she'll become the school president.
Your mom is doing everything in her power to support you,
but her mom is bedridden in the hospital now.
In other words, she's looking after her mom.
Who'd win if you two get to compete in the same environment?
Hye Na, of course.
I guarantee that you'll lose.
Welcome, my sweetheart.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
I don't know. I'm so annoyed. Ms. Kim Joo Young is weird.
She told me to give up on being the school president.
Who's Ms. Kim Joo Young? Her homeroom teacher?
No, an instructor at her academy.
Then take her advice.
She's dissuading you from it to make sure you're not distracted.
Honey, things are different these days.
What's different?
Don't even think about helping her...
get elected just so you can get more involved in school affairs.
And you, just study hard.
You don't even have time to sleep. School president? Forget it.
Gosh, I'm so annoyed.
That rude brat. You don't deserve to be elected.
Having 1 or 2 more achievements...
on her student record can make or break her college admission.
Experience as the school president is considered...
the most basic extracurricular activity.
You don't even know anything.
Goodness.
Why do extracurricular activities matter?
She just has to get good grades.
Why does it have to be so complicated?
Why did she tell you to give up on it?
Coach Kim is so weird.
She said Hye Na would be elected, Kim Hye Na.
Without even trying?
Gosh, she made a mistake.
Right, Mom? I'm baffled.
How does she know when I haven't even tried?
Exactly.
By the way, do you have a running mate?
Well, not yet.
I heard Woo Joo is very popular at school.
How about Woo Joo?
Running with Woo Joo will increase your chance of getting elected.
Well...
I'll ask him.
Honey!
Honey, don't you have to go to work?
Jin Jin.
Honey, what's wrong?
Jin Jin.
What's wrong, Dad?
- Help me put my pants on. - What?
I can't bend down. The pain shoots down to my legs.
Oh, my goodness. So the injection isn't helping?
Dad, does it hurt a lot?
Don't worry, son. I won't die.
Goodness, you're such a wimp just like your dad.
Soo Han, he'll be fine after he gets his surgery.
Dad, I heard that Woo Joo's dad is a great surgeon.
Can't you get your surgery from him?
Son, that simply won't happen.
- Why? - I'm a professor of orthopedics.
How could I get surgery from a professor of neurosurgery?
Why not? Why can't you?
Every patient has the right to get surgery from a good surgeon.
Stop spewing nonsense. If Chief Kang finds out...
You're a doctor.
You'll go into that operating room just not to get on his bad side?
Do you want to end up like Professor Sung?
He got the surgery three times.
Gosh, what should I do?
What do you think? You can't crawl to him all the time.
It's your body. Your health, okay?
Watch it. My back.
Gosh, what do we do? You and your back. My gosh, honey.
Let's perform a surgery. This part is sticking out, right?
It's one of the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
If injections aren't helping even after two months, you need surgery.
When should we do it?
Chief, you have many operations scheduled for this week.
You have five each day.
Doing one more won't kill me.
The other day, I operated on seven patients.
I asked you when you want to do it.
Sorry?
Well... I have my own schedule too, you know.
I have appointments with my patients as well.
There's no need to rush, so just let me know when's good for you.
Or...
we can get it done quickly during our lunch break.
"Quickly"?
Oh, that's been removed.
What did Chief Kang say? Did he say he'd do your surgery?
- Gosh. - Go speak with Director Hwang.
I heard he's an amazing surgeon.
All his patients highly praise him.
You idiot, have you lost your mind?
I'm an orthopedics specialist. What? Go speak with who?
Gosh, you're clueless.
Is there a law that states...
orthopedic specialists can't be treated by other specialists?
Every patient should do his research and find the best surgeon.
Hey!
You punk, watch your mouth.
How dare you compare such a skillful spine specialist to Hwang Chi Young?
Then get it from that skillful specialist. Why are you so scared?
"Scared"?
Who's scared?
Come here, you punk. Come here!
- Hey, gosh. - Be careful.
The chair.
(Neurosurgery)
I'm dizzy.
I'll check it next time.
Professor Woo, are you in pain or something?
Oh, no. Not at all.
I'm totally fine.
You don't seem fine. You're limping.
I drank too much last night.
I tend to limp a little when I drink a lot.
When did the pain in your leg begin?
I told you it's from drinking.
I said I'm fine.
That's a relief.
I said, I'm okay. You really should stop asking.
That hurts.
If it's this bad, your back must've hurt a lot.
Dr. Kang suggested module treatment,
so I took medicine and even got six shots.
Herniated disks could cause back pain,
but 80 percent of the patients...
naturally heal themselves in 1 or 2 months.
However, if the pain is still severe even after you got the shots,
I think it'd be better for you to receive surgery.
How am I going to receive surgery?
A couple of years ago,
I got surgery on my left eye because of retinal detachment.
And once I became a patient myself,
I learned that it's very important to trust your doctor.
You should trust Dr. Kang and receive surgery.
You're right.
It's most important to trust your doctor. That's very true.
It's really important. It really is.
But you perform an endoscopic surgery, don't you?
I heard your incisions are only 7mm big.
Dr. Kang's incisions are probably only 2 to 3cm bigger than mine.
But still,
there's a huge difference between 7mm and 3cm.
Don't worry.
People think using high-tech equipment such as lasers...
and endoscopes for herniated disk surgeries will be safer.
But that's all a misunderstanding.
But you're a veteran when it comes to minimally invasive surgery.
Do you want me...
to perform your surgery?
No, that's not it. Gosh, no.
I'm just saying.
I should get my surgery done by Dr. Kang, of course.
Dr. Kang is a skilled spine doctor.
Whatever you decide to do, just think about your health first.
That's what's most important.
This tea is good for pain relief.
She turned it into a playroom.
It's a playroom.
Where did she put my pyramid?
Where did you put my pyramid?
I put it in your study...
since it's your belonging.
Why did you put it in my study?
I put it there so that it could constantly motivate the kids.
Take a seat. It's time for dinner.
Are you done protesting...
with cup noodles?
I tore down that soundproof room without discussing it with you.
I recorded what you said...
and made you lose your authority as a father is all my fault.
I'd like to sincerely apologize, so please sit down.
You should stop...
giving me weekly living expenses, honey.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
You seemed pretty determined to feed me...
cup noodles every day throughout the entire year.
The only bad thing about receiving weekly living expenses...
is that it's annoying.
But making you eat cup noodles every meal...
is directly connected to your health.
I'm sure it must be exhausting to do lectures...
and teach the twins at home.
I suddenly came to realize that.
Gosh, it took you quite a while to realize that.
That's your problem.
You're always one step too late.
You don't know...
why Young Jae's mom made such an extreme decision, do you?
See you.
Yeh Bin. Soo Han.
Ms. Lee.
I was reminded of you guys while I was nearby doing some research.
Yeh Bin, you were upset with me, weren't you?
Back then, I was a little upset.
But come to think of it, you had no choice but to do that.
Yeh Bin, you have such a big heart.
- What's she talking about? - You don't need to know, you punk.
Ms. Lee, did you start gathering information?
Yes.
There's something I want to write about,
so I'm going to start writing.
You guys both know Young Jae, don't you?
Were you guys close with him?
He used to be really nice to us. He's a good singer as well.
Anyway, he's a great guy.
Do you remember...
- Young Jae's favorite song? - "The Island Boy"?
The mood turned really awkward every time he whistled that song.
Why? I like it.
I also liked Ga Eul's version of the song.
Do you want a refill?
Ga Eul?
Who's Ga Eul?
She's the daughter of the in-house housekeeper...
that used to live at Young Jae's.
She was really close with Young Jae.
So I'm sure he was pretty shocked when she suddenly disappeared.
Really?
Where do you think he is, and what do you think he's doing?
Haven't you tried calling him?
He doesn't answer my calls, and he ignores my texts.
My gosh.
Do you think he contacted that teacher?
What teacher?
He told me she's the only person that he can actually talk to.
That kind of disaster only happened because they just paid Coach Kim...
and trusted her way too much with their son.
Am I the same as Young Jae's dad who was indifferent about education?
Am I?
Being overly interested is also be a problem.
I'm worried that you and the kids might end up...
cutting ties with each other like Young Jae and his parents...
in the process of you teaching them.
So what exactly is your point?
Are you telling me to stop caring about their education?
No, I'm just suggesting you take a different approach.
They say parents used to teach their neighbor's kids...
instead of teaching their own...
because their relationship with their children might get ruined...
if they keep pressuring their kids to do better out of their own greed.
Even if my kids end up hating me and become revengeful,
once they get into SNU,
I'm sure they'll end up thanking me later on in their lives.
Honey, Woo Joo didn't even make it to the top 20 on his exams.
But his parents didn't say anything,
and he managed to come in third on his mock test.
- There's no use in parents... - Woo Joo?
He was gifted with good genes.
He was born smart.
Look at Se Ri.
Have you ever seen me teach her like I teach our twins?
I'd leave them be if they took after me.
But look at Ki Joon and Suh Joon's grades.
I don't know who they take after, but they're barely...
managing to get B's in school.
How can I just leave them be when they were born stupid?
I need to pressure them and squeeze more out of them.
Honey, can you please be more tenacious?
Parents need to be strong-minded...
in order to help their kids have successful lives.
I'm worried that you and the kids might end up...
cutting ties with each other like Young Jae and his parents...
in the process of you teaching them.
What's weird?
I said something was off about the convenience store thing.
It was so obvious. That feels nice.
Right?
Suh Jin's nothing compared to Myung Joo.
She thinks...
she can manipulate the woman who got Myung Joo killed.
She doesn't stand a chance. I bet this will all backfire.
So what? Are you switching sides now?
It depends.
If the timing is right, I'll switch over quickly.
Why stay on a train that might go off the rails?
That's stupid.
Jin Jin.
Please don't forget just one thing.
Kang Joon Sang lords over right above me.
He might crush me to death.
You're so faint-hearted.
- You have no guts. - Hey.
Why are you so scared?
I'll tell you again. Don't go to Joon Sang for your surgery.
You got that?
I got it.
- There's a lot. I should go. - Get going.
The medics.
Take this with you.
- My gosh. - Hey.
Thanks a lot.
Hey. I need to...
ask a difficult question.
- What is it? - What is it?
There are two doctors. One is grade A,
the other A+, slightly better.
Doctor A looks down on you like you're nothing.
Doctor A+ is amazingly skilled in surgeries,
but he also manages to comfort his patients.
If you needed a surgery, who would you go to?
Professor Hwang.
You brat, do you want to die?
Who said A+ is Professor Hwang?
Did I say I want to go to Professor Hwang?
Do you think I'm doing this because I want him to do my surgery?
Hey. Even if Chief Kang looks at us like we're chewed gum,
we shouldn't be like that.
We must be loyal.
How could I go to Professor Hwang?
What if the word were to spread?
What would our department look like?
A mess.
What idiot just said...
How could I go to Professor Hwang?
What if the word were to spread?
What would our department look like?
A mess.
What idiot just said...
Chief.
Do you want Professor Hwang to operate on you?
No, that's nonsense, I wouldn't dare.
I heard he's very skilled.
The Rehabilitation department can't praise him enough.
His patients' prognoses are so good, their jobs are made easier.
Go to him.
It's not like that.
I have no intention of going to him,
but Professor Hwang keeps bugging me.
He bugs you?
Hwang Chi Young bugged you?
I deserve to die, chief.
You don't. Well done.
Good luck.
Chief.
Hwang Chi Young, you scumbag.
You enticed one of my staff?
He dared to step up to the plate?
That's what I said.
Professor Kang, join us.
Chief. Chief...
Hello.
I have a white tiger on my right and blue dragon on my left.
I feel so reassured to have you two professors...
by my side.
You flatter me. Thank you, president.
We only just opened the Spine Center.
Professor Kang, help out as much as you can.
Yes. Of course.
Professor Hwang, isn't your son running for student body president?
He can't without a running mate,
so he's busy looking for a partner.
Whatever it may be, it's best to have a title.
The position makes the person, you know.
When Professor Kang refused to be the director of the new center,
I was so disheartened.
Oh, right.
Didn't you say your daughter goes to the same school?
Yes. The prestigious Shinhwa High School.
She's the first in her...
In her...
In her year. Say it, you fool.
My goodness.
Are you okay, Professor Woo?
You should be careful prior to surgery.
What? "Prior to surgery"?
Did you want me to hear that?
He says you should be careful prior to surgery.
Poor me.
Chief.
Don't be mistaken.
Young Jae's parents are the ones that brought the tragedy.
It was Young Jae's parents?
Young Jae said that coach was the only one he could talk to.
Was it because of her?
This was...
a gift Myung Joo gave me shortly before she died.
My husband told me to throw it away,
so I had to leave it here.
How do you think a suicidal mom felt...
when she bought a mother and child statue?
It breaks my heart.
(Who killed that woman?)
I know you desperately want to improve your student record,
but you're really trying hard.
You study, nurse your sick mom,
and now even student body president?
You're getting quite greedy.
Mr. Oh.
It's not greed.
I want to run because there's something I want to do.
Oh. What do you want to do?
Abolishing the elite class.
What?
You could get into real trouble for that.
We don't have an elite class.
It's called "Intensive Reading",
but it's an elite class.
You put the smart kids with nice backgrounds in the elite class.
You favor those kids and give awards and what not.
Do you think the kids don't know?
My gosh.
You tip them off about upcoming school competitions...
and give them the awards.
Should the others just play second fiddle?
High schools may be factories churning out university students,
but I can't stand teachers breaking the rules so blatantly.
Ms. Kim, will you really do nothing about her?
- What should I do then? - What?
Should I blatantly break the rules so she can't run for the election?
Hye Na.
You may leave.
Because you side with her like that,
that rude wench doesn't even know her place.
Woo Joo, would you be my running mate?
Yeh Suh, Kang Yeh Suh. Is he a big deal?
Don't be intimidated. You can do it. Let's go.
Hwang Woo Joo!
Do you want to be my running mate in the election?
Me as president and you as vice president.
Of course, you can run for president if you'd like.
I can run for vice president.
I'm sorry. I have someone I want to run with.
I hope you do well in the election.
Hye Na!
What's going on with the school president election?
Is Yeh Suh running for it?
Why do you ask?
- I'll take care of it, so just... - Tell her to do it.
What?
Tell her to do it and crush Hwang Chi Young's son.
Tell her she must trample all over him and get elected no matter what.
What's the matter? Did something happen?
That scumbag.
Does he think I'm a big joke or what?
He snatched that director position.
And now, he's stepping up to do the surgery.
What do you mean he's stepping up for the surgery?
Do I really have to say this?
You know why I asked to meet up, right?
I'm not sure. How would I know?
You're not even telling me.
Don't you have something to say to me?
Then I'll think whatever I want.
Wait, did you want to see me because of my husband's surgery?
I know that Professor Kang thinks of Yang Woo like his brother.
I'm also aware that Yang Woo getting surgery...
from Professor Hwang would make him look bad.
But let's say Professor Kang needs surgery in his shoulder.
Would he get it from Yang Woo no matter what?
Without asking around to find the best surgeon?
These days, patients shop around for the best doctor.
Just accept it, okay?
This is going to make me sound crude, so I wasn't going to say it.
You know that my mother-in-law and the chairman's wife...
do volunteer work together, right?
I do, of course.
I also know that your father-in-law was the chairman's doctor.
Listen up.
It takes a long time to win some's favor,
but you can lose it all in a flash.
Just like dust that blows away.
Just accept it.
Good night, Suh Jin.
I hope you have a restful sleep.
Honey, honey.
Why?
I think you should just get the surgery from Yeh Suh's dad.
He's not a quack, you know.
What? What are you talking about?
Just get the surgery from Yeh Suh's dad.
If you end up like a frog or Professor Sung,
just accept it as your fate and come to terms with it.
What? "Fate"?
Woman, how could you say that?
I know that he lost the executive director position,
but he's well-connected. What if he becomes president of the hospital?
Will you be able to work under him?
If you get kicked out of the hospital,
we'll have to leave Sky Castle.
You have to choose your side wisely.
Is that more important than my back to you?
Yes, it is!
Hye Na, will you really get rid of the elite class?
- Yes, for real. - Is that so?
Then I'll vote for you.
I think you'll be a lot better than a girl who has a coach,
whom she consults for every single thing.
Then I'll vote for you as well.
Let me know if you need help with your campaign.
- Move. - What's her problem?
Mom.
Suh Joon and Ki Joon.
- We're off. - Bye.
Kim Hye Na?
What are you talking about now?
You don't even pay a penny for the tutoring sessions...
you're getting with Do Hoon and Sung Jae.
Do you know how much it costs?
On top of that, I give you 1,000 dollars a month.
And what? You want me to double it?
Then how about a triple?
Look at this brat.
I'm risking my future...
to take the performance assessments for him.
Do Hoon was dozing off during the English assessment today.
You know that I'll also get expelled if we get caught, right?
You want to call us even with 1,000 dollars for such a huge risk?
Look at you. You're so manipulative.
I'm only helping you out because I feel bad for you.
How dare you try to cut a deal?
I didn't know that you were such a compassionate person.
- Then give me 3,000 dollars. - Hey!
From now on, even essay-type questions will be included.
Then the assessments...
will take up 50 percent for Korean, English, and math.
Will you be okay without me?
Let's quit this if you don't like my offer.
(Cashier's Check, 1,000 dollars)
Gosh, my goodness. Hey!
That wench.
Hey! Hey, wait.
Okay, fine.
Sorry, I apologize.
But please do a perfect job on Do Hoon's assessments, okay?
To be honest with you,
Yeh Suh has no chance of becoming the school president.
The students will be voting.
Do you actually think anyone will vote for her?
That's why we have you.
Ms. Han, it's my job to come up with the best strategy for her.
Obsessing over...
what is impossible is simply a waste of time and energy.
Founding and running the school club...
is enough to showcase her leadership skills.
Yeh Suh really wants to beat Hye Na.
And both my husband and I...
want Yeh Suh to become the school president.
That's why I'm telling you this.
I'm not asking for a favor.
Understood.
I'll be counting on you, then.
Please take good care of Yeh Suh.
I'll be off, then.
Goodbye.
What brings you here?
Suh Jin, I'm here to ask a favor of you.
Ms. Kim Joo Young.
You have her contact information, right?
I should've introduced myself to you sooner, Mr. Park.
I'm Kim Joo Young.
(Who killed that woman?)
(Sky Castle)
Kim Joo Young? Her name is Kim Joo Young?
We have to make Yeh Suh the school president.
Did Coach Kim say she'll help me?
Woo Joo is Hye Na's running mate.
Everyone is saying they'll vote for Hye Na.
Can you make her withdraw her candidacy?
You want to meet Ms. Kim Joo Young?
Such a tragedy happened right here.
Someone has to ask, don't you think?
She's collecting information to write a novel.
About Young Jae?
More than a dozen times a day,
I wanted to kill that woman, Kim Joo Young.
This misery must end with my son.
