Sir!
What's with him? I said I'm not going.
Sir!
Damnit.
Sir!
Wait!
Sir!
Soogyum!
Hey, where are you going?!
Sir!
Hello!
Ahjussi, wait!
Sir!
Soogyum, what's going on?
I came because I missed you, Ahjumma.
Sir, you can't go!
- Sir! - Goodbye!
Sir!
EPISODE 1
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to Grandpa!
Happy birthday to you!
Grandpa, I love you.
What kind of gift did you get me, Sena?
I don't have any money.
You don't have to spend money to get me a gift.
Just tell your parents to make you a cute little brother.
What good is there in me living longer
that I have to go to the US for a surgery?
I've told you clearly.
The family line must continue for the company to survive.
You take care of it.
Father.
Father, you have a grandson.
What?
I have a son.
Hyung, what are you saying?
Brother-in-law, however you put it...
Be quiet.
[ DNA Test Results ]
[ Lee Byungsoo and Kim Soogyum - 99% match ]
Seems like you were already aware.
I learned of it recently.
Tell me everything.
Okay. Not long ago...
It's a call from the driver.
He went to get the kid this morning.
Answer it.
Yes, sir.
How did it go?
Why are they chasing? I said I wouldn't go.
Ah, feels nice.
Ahjumma, let me help you.
Okay, thank you.
Wait a minute.
Minsoo's dad!
Hello?
Yes, that's me.
What?!
Ahjussi, turn the boat around!
What?
What's going on with you today?
Hurry!
What is it?!
Aigoo, this child!
Minsoo's dad, what do we do?!
What do we do?!
I... only believe what I see with my own eyes.
I'll bring him into the family soon.
What are you saying?
Of course we must do that if they're related by blood.
Father.
I'll explain things well to your father.
I know that you've worked hard these years.
It's been tough on you, child.
I want to bring him over to meet you before you leave tomorrow.
But there are still some things to take care of.
When you return, I'll bring him to visit you.
Leave her be.
Our Sena needs to eat more to grow up quickly.
What did Grandpa say he wanted as a gift?
A cute little grandson.
Goodness, what a clever girl.
Father, Baek sunbae—
I mean, Professor Baek, wants to announce at the anniversary celebration
that he'll be running for Minister of Education position.
Okay.
Make sure to help him.
Yes, sir.
Let's eat some more.
[ Community Emergency Medical Center ]
...7, 8, 9, 10.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
No, no...
Peekaboo.
Peekaboo!
Merong! :P
Oh gosh!
You were here.
I understand how you feel.
You had good news the day that you bought this.
Because you got this at the same time as the child,
you couldn't bear getting rid of it.
And it wasn't easy for you to become pregnant.
I didn't say anything because I thought you'd be feeling sorry,
but it felt like knives were stabbing into my heart too.
I couldn't say that I wanted another child after you went through so much.
Does he look like you?
Your son.
Does he look like you?
I'm not sure. I've only seen photos.
It's a bit of a shame...
For him.
Let's see.
Good, good.
Wow, how grand.
Come in.
The young sir is here.
Nice to meet you.
My name is Kim Soogyum.
Nice to meet you, Sookyung.
Soogyum.
Gyum. Modest.
Alright. Have a seat.
I heard about your grandmother.
Sorry I couldn't make it.
No, no, you must have been busy.
Right.
I heard that you ran away when Secretary Joo went to pick you up.
Sorry.
It was really sudden at the time, and confusing too.
After my grandma passed away,
I didn't want to stay in the country by myself.
And since I heard that you really wanted me to come, I decided to come.
I'm really sorry for coming to you so suddenly.
No, no. If you hadn't, I'd have gone to get you myself.
You did well coming here.
Thank you for accepting me,
Dad.
Okay. Thank you to you too.
I've already contacted the school,
so you can transfer right away.
I'm pretty close with the principal there.
Okay, I'll work hard.
Oh, but I already have an appointment for lunch today.
That's okay.
I decided to take a look around Seoul today.
Okay. Get home early.
Okay.
Delicious.
- Want some? - Yeah.
Me too.
Just give me one.
Why are you eating mine?
You're so petty.
I saw him at the academy yesterday.
Looks like he's still studying there.
Wait for me!
What are you listening to?
Why are you listening to this?
Just because.
Oh... Fishy. Fishy, fishy.
I was wondering where the fishy smell was coming from.
Oh, it's fishy.
Hey, Double Fish.
Double Fish? What's that?
I was walking on the street yesterday
when I smelled something doubly fishy.
Hey, I saw you walking with a girl yesterday.
Didn't seem like a girlfriend.
Was she your older sister?
You pair just gave off such a rank odor.
Such good sense.
But that fishy smelling sister of yours
looks like she'd get along with guys really well.
It's probably because your mom doesn't have a husband that—
Hey!
- Let go! - Are you crazy?!
- Hey! - Let go!
Damnit.
Awesome with your meal, the nation's fish, mackerel!
That'll be 7,000 won! (~7 USD)
I came back because it's delicious.
Thank you.
- Enjoy and come again. - Okay.
Yes, I'm Heesoo's mom.
What?
Where are you going?
What's the matter?
Taxi!
Are you okay?
Forget it. Ta...
It's a red light.
It's clearly a green...
Sorry, I'm in a rush.
We should go to the hospital.
Forget it.
If your car's fine, just go.
Don't come complaining that something hurts later.
Let's go to the hospital.
Ah, okay, let's go.
Hurry!
What?
Sebit High School.
Excuse me, do you think you're in a taxi?
I'm sorry. I'm just in a rush right now.
You didn't hit me with your car.
I tripped on my own leg.
And it was a red light.
It was my fault.
So if your car's okay, let's pretend it never happened.
I'm sorry for giving you a fright.
Something happened with my kid at school,
so I'm feeling really anxious.
Right turn!
Thank you.
Buam Market Hong Do's Fresh Fish.
Come by and I'll pay you back.
Thank you.
Ahjumma.
Ahjumma!
Hong Do's Fresh Fish!
What is it?
Looks like you saved me more than once today.
Thank you.
Make sure to come by. I'll give you some cutlassfish.
Forget it.
The kid suddenly came.
Let's make sure we act like adults.
We?
He seems to have scraped his elbow when he fell.
Hurry and apologize.
Don't force him.
Hurry back inside.
I'm sorry.
I didn't want to disappoint you, Mom.
Kim Heesoo!
Kids should make their parents worry sometimes.
You're going through puberty now, but everything's so calm with you.
Jungwook's that kid from middle school, right?
I'll do what I can, so don't worry.
Got it?
Mom, let's not tell Noona about this.
She must already be upset because she didn't pass the recruitment exam.
Of course.
If she found out, she'd break that kid's other arm.
Right.
Mom, what about the stand?
You should go.
Okay.
Buy something tasty.
It's okay, I still have spending money.
I'm going.
Mom.
What?
Your pants are ripped.
It's fine. It's not that noticeable anyway.
But it is.
Go home and change.
Got it!
The flowers are prettier today.
Please enjoy arranging.
- Okay. -Thank you.
I heard Professor Baek is going for the Ministry of Education.
Then you'll be getting busy soon too.
I wanted him to work at the school,
but since he's made his decision, I'll just have to go along.
That's so great.
My husband completely lacks ambition.
Forget the Ministry.
He doesn't even want to be a department head at school.
What's with your husbands?
Right?
Your son's a senior this year, isn't he?
Yes, he's already a senior.
I sent my son abroad because he said he wanted to go,
but he's always complaining that he misses Korea.
Ah, Sojin's doing well, right?
He's always been good at taking care of herself.
There's nothing to worry about with your family.
Right?
A capable husband,
a studious son, and even a pretty daughter.
Oh, did you get pricked?
It's okay.
I have an appointment so I'll get going first.
See you next time.
Yes.
Bye.
- I envy her. - Yeah.
Great!
Honey.
The family's all here, finally.
Make your greeting.
Hello, I'm Kim Soogyum.
No, no, you're Lee Soogyum now.
Oh, right.
I'm Lee Soogyum.
Let's chat while we eat.
I'm tired.
You're good at swimming.
Yeah. I grew up by the sea.
Do you like sports?
As long as it doesn't cost money, I like it.
Oh, sorry.
I was in such a rush, I didn't get to tell you ahead of time.
Good job.
I was going to throw it all out anyway.
Let's go.
My lovely son, congratulations!
Let's get along well in the future!
Make sure you pay attention.
Don't worry, I'll do a good job.
Did you sleep well?
You're up early.
A new coffee shop opened up front.
I don't drink lattes.
So that's the secret to your baby-face.
You'll be punished if you don't finish all your food.
She won't understand.
Housekeeper!
Yes, sir. Breakfast is ready.
Sit down.
Sunbae!
Long time no see, Professor Park.
Yes, it's been a long time.
Hello.
Professor Baek!
Director! Thank you for making the time to come by.
Congratulations.
We'll talk again. Please head inside.
Professional Lee.
Congratulations.
Thank you for coming despite your busy schedule.
Of course I should come.
My father instructed that I make sure I relay his greetings.
Thank you.
Oh, I heard that he went abroad for treatment.
How is he?
Well, he seems fine. He'll be back soon.
Thank goodness.
It's nice to meet you for the first time.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
We're meeting for the first time, Mrs Baek.
I'm Haeran Consulting's Lee Byungsoo.
Yes, it's nice to meet you.
I've heard a lot about you.
I've heard about you too, Mrs Baek,
that you're a great wife.
Please teach her too.
You flatter me.
Do give her some lessons.
Goodness. Am I late?
Sunbae, thank you for coming.
You're here.
Professor Baek, you're all aglow.
There's that tackiness that exudes from you.
Sunbae, let me treat you to a drink some time.
Sounds great.
Our Mr Lee always knows how to spend money.
Sunbae, you haven't met my wife before, right?
He's Soyeon's school principal.
He was Byungsoo and my high school senior.
Ah, I see.
Thank you for making the time to come.
Nice to meet you, I'm Hong Sangman.
I didn't know our Professor Baek liked such beautiful women.
Sunbae, my wife is here too.
This is the first time meeting since graduation, right?
Ms Junghye, nice to see you again.
You haven't changed at all.
We meet here again, huh.
Are you guys having a battle for whose wife is more beautiful?
I came alone because it's more comfortable.
Darling, wait. There's something on you.
Is it from the restaurant earlier?
What's the matter?
I'm sorry.
You should go or you'll be late.
Korean education and the society
have both fallen into a vicious cycle.
Education gives rise to academic-ism.
And then our society intensifies that outlook,
which once more brings about academic-ism.
In order to cut off this vicious cycle,
our educational system requires a fundamental change.
We need to create an entirely new education system.
This book
holds all my dreams for Korean education.
I've been in the education field for 20 years now.
Now, I'd like to carry out my conviction as an administrator.
So I'd like to take this opportunity
to announce my candidacy for Seoul's Minister of Education.
- Smile. - Yes, yes.
Thank you.
Shall we go talk some business.
Sure.
Please have something to eat.
Your husband hit you, didn't he?
I'm right.
I'm not sure what you're saying...
Would you like to get revenge with me?
Excuse me?
Because I'd like to get revenge on my husband too.
I'm sorry, I think you're mistaken about something.
Let's find a time to meet.
No thank you, I don't have any intention to do that.
Should I make this matter public then?
The domestic abuse case of Candidate Baek for the Seoul Minister of Education.
Listen here.
I can't give you too much time.
I'll be in touch soon.
Why are you doing this?
If you don't come, I'll publicize it.
Welcome home.
Goodnight.
With such a deathly aura, who'd be able to live here.
You see what's happened to my son, don't you?
I'm sorry.
I really don't know what else I can say.
I mean, even if your life is very difficult,
you should still raise your children properly.
Is he some kind of thug?
My goodness, how can there be violence like this at school?
How frightening.
I understand how startled and upset you are.
You can understand?
I don't need you to understand.
His body's always been weak.
As his mother, I could never even yell at him.
I treated him very carefully, as if he were a glass bowl.
That's how I raised him.
How dare someone else break my precious son's bones?
Do you think I'm going to take this lying down?
But before that.
Why are you here alone, without your thug son?
Rotten kids like that need to be immediately tossed in jail
to spend the rest of their lives—
You're really...
R-really what?
What?
I'm sorry.
Jungwook, I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
It's my fault for not teaching him properly as his mother.
For the sake of his future, just once...
Can't you please just forgive him this once?
Please, I beg of you.
I'm sorry.
It's because my arm's injured.
Alright, that's enough. Lift up your head.
I have no intention of forgiving him.
None. Never.
What? Forgive?
That's funny.
[ Buamdong Coffee Social Club ]
If you raised your son that poorly, he should face the repercussions.
Like the saying goes, like mother like son.
As if it wasn't enough that you broke the arm of someone's precious son,
you're even asking for forgiveness?
I came today because—
You're here early.
Son, let's go.
Let's go file a report with the police.
Jungwook's mother!
Jungwook's mother, please forgive my son this once!
What's going on here? Let go.
Please.
My goodness, how disgraceful.
You won't give up until I call the police here, will you?
Joo Kyulyeon.
Oh! Mrs Lee.
Hello.
Jungwook's mother, please!
What a coincidence that we're meeting here.
We're both mothers. Please forgive...
Let go.
Forgiveness?! Are you crazy?!
I'm begging you.
Please, I'm begging you!
Let go!
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Please—
Fine!
I'll forgive him.
You're forgiving him?
So please, get away from me.
If you keep following me, I won't forgive him.
What's so entertaining? Let's go.
It's funny.
Are you okay?
Thank you.
You must have been shocked.
I'm sorry.
Oh.
Right?
Now that she's forgiven him, I can rest easy.
By the way, how do you know that woman?
Her attitude completely changed when she saw you.
She's a tenant in my building.
Are you really going to let it be after she insulted you that way?
This was hardly anything.
When you work, you meet people like that all the time.
In that situation, you just have to lower yourself.
You don't have to kneel down though.
Even if you kneel, your arms and legs will still be intact.
Do you have no self-respect?
I have self-respect.
Kneeling... So what if I have to kneel a hundred times?
If that was enough to hurt my self-respect,
I wouldn't have lived this long.
My self-respect is for protecting what's precious to me.
Truth be told, I wanted to beat up that rotten kid and his mother.
Would you like to get revenge?
Excuse me?
That's why the two of us were meeting up.
No...
You should join us.
What?
Revenge.
Joining together to get revenge on those who have wronged us.
If we work together, we'll get results faster.
Revenge? Together?
Please stop joking, Junghye.
Buamdong Avengers Social Club.
What do you think?
I'm not sure what that means.
Will things just end like that?
Your son will continue to be bullied at school.
And you seem rather poor.
What will you do if they ask for monetary compensation?
What?
Aren't you being too impolite?
I'll give you the money.
Because I have a lot of money.
So, join our club, and let's all get revenge—
Look here!
You don't have anything better to do, so you're flaunting your wealth?
Can you give me 10 billion won? (~10 million USD)
What a strange woman.
What rotten luck.
What? I look poor?
And what the hell is with the club?
She looks normal enough.
But she's definitely not normal.
How can you say things like that?
Like what?
What do you mean, she looks poor?
That's how she looked.
But still, how can you say that to someone's face?
And the sudden talk of revenge.
What?
Three is much better than two.
And what is the Buamdong Avengers Social Club?
I just came up with the name. Sounds good, right?
No, I...
I mean to say...
Are you going to continue living that way?
What?
Are you going to keep getting hit?
I saw everything.
If the media gets wind of this...
I'm going to tell your husband then,
that you came up with this revenge idea.
Oh! You were here too.
If I knew, I'd have had you help him with his clothes.
You have a killer fashion sense after all.
Mrs Lee!
You're here shopping with your husband.
Hello.
You must be their nephew.
You two look so much alike.
He's my son.
Ah, then please continue with your shopping.
See you next time.
Yes.
I see.
Well, then I'll head over right away, boss.
We can talk over a drink.
Yes, that's fine.
See you in a bit.
Soogyum, get a ride home with your mom.
Have a meal together and chat a bit.
Get in.
Where are you going?
Honey?
What's with her?
Give it to me.
No way. I'm a man.
But Mom, even if we're celebrating, isn't this too much?
This isn't much.
Didn't you know I had a king's hand?
And your sister's coming home too.
She'll be here soon.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Hey! If I catch you, you're dead!
- Heekyung. - Noona.
Mom.
What's going on?
Some crazy people just cut right in my way on their motorcycle.
What?
I avoided it.
So I only got a small scrape.
Are you hurt anywhere else?
I'm fine.
You know how athletic I am.
I dropped down like this!
But this got damaged.
What a shame.
Noona, did you see who was on the motorcycle?
No, it all happened too quickly.
But I did hear their rotten laughter.
If I catch the bastards, they're dead!
What's going on? Even you...
What? Who else?
What?
Nothing. Let's go home.
- Let's go home. - Be careful.
It hurts.
You're not hurt anywhere else, right?
No, but I'm hungry.
You can walk, right?
My legs are completely fine.
We'll eat soon. We bought a ton of food.
How about you buy me a new purse, Mom?
Forget it.
But Noona, your bag really looks terrible.
Buy it for me!
Get out of here, woman!
Honey...
Stop it, please.
I was wrong.
Honey, please stop.
I was wrong.
What? What did you do wrong?
I was wrong.
What? What did you do wrong?
Everything. I...
You want to make things hard too, don't you?
When I hear your voice, it makes me go crazy!
Soyeon will be home soon.
Get lost!
If you did wrong, you should get lost!
Get lost! You wretched woman!
Get lost!
Go die!
Get lost!
Soyeon.
You're home?
Soyeon.
Soyeon, let me see you.
Soyeon.
Mom, leave.
What?
Go sleep at the hospital.
If he sees you when he wakes up,
he's going to do it again.
Okay, I'll do that.
Soyeon, I'm sorry.
How long are you going to keep living like this?
I envy Baek Sojin.
[ Seoul Sejong Hospital ]
Mother.
Mother, I came to see you.
What are you doing here at this time?
I fell asleep without realizing.
Nurse, you can go on. I'll stay here tonight.
Really?
Granny, your daughter-in-law's here, so I'll get going.
Are you having fun?
Yes, it's very fun.
Mother, are you hungry?
Should I cut some fruit?
Did you cry?
Your eyes are all red.
No.
Yes, I did cry a little.
Does it hurt? Who hit you?
It's nothing.
Don't cry.
If you cry, I'll be sad too.
I'm not crying.
I'm not sad.
Can I play this with you?
Yes.
Let's play together.
But...
If his sister reported it last night, what do we do?
So what? What evidence do they have?
Are you scared?
No, I'm not.
Those siblings...
What?
Wow, pops up right there, like a ghost.
Goodness, how scary. How scary!
Hey, why are you staring at me?
If you were reprimanded, just go clean up,
Mr School Violence.
Ah, I should've just run you over with the motorcycle.
Hey, Hwang Jungwook!
What? Are you going to hit me again?
Get over here.
Where are you going?
You're dead.
What?
Is he dead?
Shit, what do we do?
Go look.
Just leave him.
He tripped on his own.
Crap, this is scary.
Hey, before we get dragged into it, let's get out of here.
Hurry up!
Why are you just standing there?!
Baek Soyeon!
Let's go.
Hey, are you okay?
Wake up.
Hey, just leave him be.
He tripped on his own.
Crap, this is scary.
Hey, before we get dragged into it, let's get out of here.
Hurry up!
Why are you just standing there?!
Let's go.
[ Seoul Sejong Hospital ]
I'm fine, really.
I don't need to stay in the hospital.
You have signs of a concussion.
Just slightly.
Get examined again tomorrow.
If nothing's wrong, I can leave, right?
Okay.
Thankfully, you weren't hurt more.
You're killing my rhythm lately.
I'm sorry.
Just tell your sister that you tripped.
Otherwise, she might really go out and kill someone.
Heesoo!
- My god. - Huh?
What are you doing here?
You—!
My life's tough enough, and now you're adding to my troubles!
- Be careful, won't you! - Mom...
Gosh!
Be careful, he might faint.
I'll stay here, so you can go, Mom.
It's okay. The fruit lady—
Deposit 10 million won for compensation by this week. (~10,000 USD)
I'll go get some water.
Did you touch my daughter?
Your son's even bothering my daughter now.
What's this crap you're saying? Are you crazy?
Look's like you don't want to settle things after all.
10 million won.
I want to send that thug kid to jail—
Your son's the thug!
So that's how you're going to play?
Fine. Great.
I only let you off because you looked so pitiful.
How dare you act so fearless?
I want 20 million. Right now!
Hey!
Hey!!!
Did you
withdraw from that revenge club, or whatever?
I never joined.
What kind of woman is she really?
I'm not sure myself.
I'll give you her contact information.
I think it's better that you ask her directly.
So you've decided not to get revenge?
I'm...not sure.
Will you contact her?
I have to make up my mind first.
Right.
20 million! If you don't pay up, I'm suing!
How long are you going to keep living like this?
I envy Baek Sojin.
Please be firm in your resolve this time.
Your resolve for revenge.
I will be.
No, I already am.
Ahjussi, this too.
Okay.
We'll discuss the details in person.
There's something you must be certain of.
Of course.
I won't regret it.
Okay.
Then let's get our revenge.
