(It's a rainy autumn morning.)
(The rain wets our hearts.)
(The shiny chestnuts welcome you first.)
It's really autumn now.
When the persimmons are ripe, it's autumn.
You're right.
Hello.
We are in Gongju, aren't we?
Gongju.
We haven't come to a countryside in a while.
You are right.
Today's master is...
someone who thinks your root is important in life.
That's why we are in his hometown, where he put down roots in life.
(Gongju is where their master was born.)
I will give you a hint which will tell you...
how your master put down roots...
as a young boy in Gongju.
Okay.
Make a guess.
(This hint will tell them about the master's root?)
It's a student record.
(Student record)
(This is the most crucial hint that will tell them...)
(about the master's roots.)
A, B, C, D, F, right?
He was a good student.
He only got As and Bs.
He got all As in PE class.
All As.
(He got all As in PE class.)
(This student record looks unfamiliar.)
If his record had this format, it means he's an older person.
What?
Wait. Look.
(Is he right?)
Look.
There's Arithmetic.
- It was Mathematics for us. - You're right.
It used to be Arithmetic for me, but it changed to Mathematics.
But it remained Arithmetic all the way for him.
- Until Grade Six. - Oh, dear.
Let's check his teachers' comments about his behavior.
In Grade One, he was active and playful.
(There you go.)
(Master?)
(He is still playful.)
- In Grade Three, he was cheerful. - Cheerful.
"Quite innocent".
- "Quite innocent"? - What does "Quite innocent" mean?
(How can you be quite innocent?)
- "Quite innocent". - It means...
"Quite" means...
It means he's not completely innocent.
He's quite innocent.
The teacher might be sarcastic.
Right.
"Quite innocent".
(Is their master someone who is too playful and innocent?)
It means "very".
"He's cheerful and active. He gets along with his friends well."
"He's stubborn."
(He's stubborn.)
He's stubborn. He never wanted to lose.
He's a tough guy.
(The master's father's eldest son)
He broke his arm while doing taekwondo.
But because he's stubborn,
he kept going to the gym with a broken arm.
Normal people like me would've been scared off.
(The master was competitive since he was young.)
"He's cheerful,"
"and he obeys rules well."
(He's cheerful, and he obeys rules well.)
(He's a stubborn man who obeys rules well.)
Isn't it you?
(Isn't it Sang Yun?)
- Is it me? - He was always cheerful.
- Right. He was cheerful. - Cheerful and bubbly.
(Is the master a playful and cheerful person?)
- It looks familiar. - It looks familiar.
What's this? HP?
(What is this? HP?)
- HS. - HS.
- HS. - Yes.
Is it a science lab class?
He doesn't know about home science class.
It's like a home economics class.
- It's like a home economics class. - Home economics.
Right. They are similar but different.
What is "Nature"?
That's the science class.
You don't know "nature" class?
I never had a class like that.
- You didn't take a nature class? - You don't know what it is?
I never had a class like that.
What was it in your time then?
Science.
Science. Right.
Until I Grade Six, it was called "nature" for us.
Yes. We had the textbook titled "Nature".
- And we had a lab textbook. - Nature textbook.
- A thin one. - A thin one.
- Right. - It was easy to fold.
My textbooks were titled "Science" and "Laboratory Observation".
It was "Nature" for us.
(Seong Jae is really young.)
Since we were retrieving your master's student record,
- we retrieved yours too. - No way.
- We got them. - My gosh.
Really?
(Searching for SangSeungHyeongJae's Roots)
- How did you find it? - Really?
- It's... - Wait, it's...
- Wait. - Seong Jae...
- Seong Jae's got 2? - Why do I have 2?
(Seong Jae has 2 sheets of student record.)
- This is mine. - This is Se Hyeong's.
(Taking a peek)
No way. No way.
Let's check 1 by 1.
- But it's... - I...
- I found something funny. - Stop it.
- It's... - Stop it. Stop it.
(He found something really funny.)
- I found something funny. - Stop it.
(Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.)
Sang Yun's student record is the only one here...
that has the same format as the master's student record.
Only his has the same format.
Mine is different.
- Let me see yours. - We have the same ones.
Let me see.
Really?
They obviously look the same.
I can't tell which one is the master's.
Put it down.
They are identical.
Move it away.
Get it out of the way.
(He's taking his anger out on the student record.)
So he is old.
I am not. I am not much older than you.
- Who would... - Ours are portrait.
Look at Seong Jae's.
Seong Jae's student record is in the newest style.
His record is filled out with computer.
(From grades to attendance, mine looks different.)
(Student record)
(The portrait page orientation...)
(is the thing of the past.)
(This is the 21st-century style student record.)
It's clearly different.
That's shocking though.
It looks like a resume.
There's an ID photo too.
That's amazing. That's how it looks?
His is in the latest style. Look.
(What is that?)
This hairstyle was in trend back then.
Didn't you get rejected from JYP with that hair?
(Did he get rejected from JYP with that hair?)
Weren't you in elementary school then?
I was in elementary school.
You look like a middle school student.
You won a lot of awards.
He did.
What's "Healthy Teeth Contest"?
- What is that? - "Healthy Teeth Contest"?
What is that? I joined such a contest?
- I did? - What is this?
"Healthy Teeth Contest".
I won a lot of awards.
You won a lot of awards in drawing contests.
You were good at drawing.
Drawing contest. Another one.
- Right. - A lot of art contests.
Drawing contest. Poster section. He was good at art.
(He was a boy who wanted to become an artist.)
Until elementary school, I wanted to be an artist.
- At that time... - He's like...
the typical son of a rich family in romantic-comedy drama.
His parents wanted him to be a doctor.
- But becomes an artist. - But he wanted to become an artist.
"What's gotten into you? Come to your senses!"
(Dreaming of becoming an artist, he rebelled against his parents.)
- He shot that scene. - Right.
He did.
The second page.
It feels like you are finding out everything about me.
- I feel naked. - It's so detailed.
"He's very popular among classmates."
"With his many talents, he's very popular among kids."
I was really popular.
I was really popular. Girls used to...
drag me from both sides.
- Really? - Yes.
All of these comments are so positive.
These comments are so different...
from what we got as children.
Our comments sounded much more informal.
You're right.
It would've been something like "He's a pretty popular kid."
Pretty popular.
(They're feeling the generation gap in these comments.)
Let's see the old one.
It's like the one we saw earlier,
so it's easy to understand.
Is that choir?
(Choir)
This is...
- This is a lie. - You're lying.
- You were in the choir? - Lies.
(Sang Yun, of all people, was in the choir?)
(Are you tone deaf?)
(What happened when you were a child?)
You were in the choir?
- I can't remember. - And he was enthusiastic.
(He's an enthusiastic student.)
What is this?
(He found something funnier.)
What's this?
In Grade Three...
(Laughing)
"He's kind, diligent,"
"and is always cheerful, but also cries easily."
(He cries easily.)
You haven't changed.
Fascinating.
You really graduated from the Faculty of Tears.
Things really shaped up in Grade Four.
"He has a great understanding of numbers..."
"and is excellent in calculating numbers."
(He understands and memorizes numbers quickly.)
The mathematical side of you came out since then.
"Excellent in calculating numbers."
(Amazed)
(His report card is full of As.)
You were definitely stronger in numbers.
But he didn't get below B in any subjects.
This is what it takes to be a Seoul National University alumni.
(The pre-SNU student was different from other kids.)
He was a pre-SNU student.
- He was different. - Indeed he was.
(He was a smart kid that cried easily.)
Great.
(That kid grew and became none other than Sang Yun.)
You really only have As and Bs.
Everyone gets As and Bs in elementary school.
No, you'd be surprised.
Teachers usually give As.
Then...
But Sang Yun only has As and Bs,
while you only have Ds and Fs.
(Se Hyeong! You only got Ds and Fs.)
Sang Yun only has As and Bs.
(Meanwhile, Se Hyeong's report card...)
- There's only Ds and Fs. - Hold on.
You said everyone gets As and Bs in elementary school,
but there's no A to begin with on Se Hyeong's report card.
Why are we looking at mine?
This is your report card from Grade One.
Teachers really try not to give out Fs in elementary school.
- How did you... - What was that for?
possibly fail a subject?
There're Bs and Cs too.
It's cute.
(Adorable)
His grades weren't excellent,
but since Grade One,
"He is a talkative student with manners."
"He's expressive, but continual fostering of interest..."
"in mathematics is needed."
- It suits you so well. - It's so him.
He didn't care about math even back then.
(Se Hyeong's love for being a comedian grew since then.)
"He's great at expressing his thoughts and feelings,"
"but he's academically challenged."
(Is this a compliment or an insult?)
"He participates well, but he doesn't finish his work."
(He participates well, but...)
"He's expressive, but..."
"He's great at making his friends laugh, but..."
(He's great at making his friends laugh, but...)
- What's this one? - "He needs to be more serious."
(I'm here right now, but there's nobody to comfort me.)
All these comments are half insults and half compliments.
(Feeling sad)
They're such confusing comments.
Why didn't my teacher write anything for this part?
(Se Hyeong feels sad about the blank spaces.)
None of the awards that I received are recorded on that.
What awards do you remember receiving?
I was awarded in an onion-growing contest,
a frisbee-throwing contest,
and a rubber glider contest.
- Mine flew. - That's the one where...
Mine basically flew into the sky.
- Do you know what they are? - They're really difficult to fly.
It's the one where you turn the rubber band to fly it.
Yes, that one is difficult.
I was also the class vice-president in Grade Five or something.
None of those are recorded on this report card.
- He's sad. - He's really sad.
(I'm mad at my teacher.)
Let's now look at Seung Gi's.
- It's very full. - It's a full page.
Lee Seung Gi.
They're mostly As...
and he only has five Bs. The rest are all As.
(His grades are better than Sang Yun's.)
- He's smart. - Just five Bs.
(Impressed)
(There are only good things written about Seung Gi here.)
Well...
"His depth of thinking is shallow"...
(Getting excited about having another mate with bad comments)
"Shallow"?
(Se Hyeong, why are you so happy?)
"Shallow"?
"His depth of thinking is shallow,"
"but he has great potential in sports."
- He was athletic from the start. - "Depth of thinking"?
(Jumping over the wall as if he's skipping school,)
(he's Korea's next action actor that'll fly in the sky.)
My depth of thinking was shallow?
(Changing the subject in embarrassment)
Seung Gi had talent even when he was little.
"He shows leadership among his fellow students."
He showed leadership.
What did I do to get that?
(MC Seung Gi was born perfect for variety shows.)
That's fascinating.
I feel like knowing Seung Gi,
he could've very well begged his teacher to write that.
(His deal-making skill is truly a talent.)
And as for special activities...
(He was the class president for the 1st term of Grade 3.)
They even wrote when I was the class president.
Yes, you were the president.
I'll read it for you.
Just wait.
He was elected...
as the class president.
(And?)
- Why aren't you reading? - Keep reading.
Keep reading for us.
- He won't read mine! - Let's see.
He refuses to read anything positive.
(I hate you.)
He thinks mine...
just looks too good.
Okay.
I was just admiring it.
"He's positive and active in volunteering activities."
"He's a cheerful student..."
"and is popular in school."
"He's brave and positive."
My Grade Three teacher wrote some really good things.
(There are only good comments.)
"He's always confident, but almost too cocky."
That's a blank space.
I'm sure we can scratch this with a coin and that's what we'll see.
- It'll be there. - Scratch with a coin?
Too cocky.
(Se Hyeong doesn't want to lose to Seung Gi on report cards.)
(Lovingly arguing back and forth)
This is hilarious.
- It's so fun to read these. - I haven't read mine in a while.
It's funny how we haven't changed.
I thought teachers just wrote whatever they saw,
but they really saw these personalities within us.
(My present self lies within my old self.)
I haven't read this in a while.
I regret my elementary school life.
What did my teacher mean by the lack of depth in thinking?
That means my thoughts were shallow.
(The self-studying continues,)
(while a random truck stops in front of the house.)
You were probably just distracted as a child.
- Right. - All kids are like that.
I wasn't good at staying focused.
(Why isn't the truck leaving?)
(Buzzing)
Aren't you coming?
- Sorry? - Sorry?
(What...)
(is happening?)
Aren't you coming?
(Aren't you coming?)
Aren't you coming?
Going where?
You're not going?
(Who are you?)
Did the master send you?
Yes.
(He's here per master's request.)
Hold on.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
I was so surprised.
What a surprise.
(Get in!)
(A mysterious truck and a mysterious man)
(Where is master?)
I think so.
Something bad always happens when we get in this truck.
Hello.
(The 1st bad incident)
(They were left in the middle of the mountains.)
(The 2nd bad incident)
(They were left in the middle of nowhere.)
(A mysterious man has brought...)
(the truck to bad incidents.)
(Who are you?)
Did master tell you to bring us to him?
It's a rough road ahead,
so please put on your seatbelts.
It's a rough road?
What's happening?
Where are we going?
(Why are bad feelings always right?)
We only ever do difficult things when we get off this truck.
(The truck is heading towards the mountains.)
(They want to know more,)
(but they're too scared to ask.)
(Charismatic)
(Looking for good timing to ask)
Who are you?
(Who are you?)
Who are you?
(Speechless at such a direct question)
Me?
(Who would it be?)
I'm a driver that's driving you up to the mountains.
(That's true.)
(Where are we going, sir?)
(Is this the first time someone has asked you that?)
Where are we heading?
Do you personally know...
our master?
(Speaking up)
We have the same roots.
We're branches that have emerged from the same roots.
(Today's master is from the same roots as the driver?)
We're from the same roots.
(While the mysterious man is driving his way up,)
(the mysterious master is picking things up.)
(He keeps picking up chestnuts.)
(Why is master here?)
(Speaking up for himself again)
(You'll know when you get there.)
(The road is no longer paved,)
(and they drive along the bumpy, dirt road.)
(Rattling)
(Goodness.)
(Their hearts are pounding.)
The road is so bumpy.
Gosh. It's too bumpy.
(The road's a bit rough, isn't it?)
- Yes. - Yes.
- This is... - It's like a 4D movie.
("Master in the House Adventures, to the Gongju Hill")
(They follow the mysterious guide.)
(They high-five the leaves.)
(This truck drives through the gingko forest.)
(The wheels spin in their places.)
(The car engine turns off.)
(Despite all of this, they must meet their master.)
- Were you surprised? - Yes.
Does the master come here often?
He doesn't even do a proper job, but he does come often.
He comes often even though he doesn't do a proper job?
(Are "mountain" and "job" hints?)
It's going to be a rough day since it's raining.
Who? We?
(The guide leaves out the subject.)
(The truck...)
(finally comes to a stop.)
(The raindrops silently drench...)
(the mountain.)
(The path is covered...)
(with chestnut burrs.)
- Let's go. - Okay.
What is this place?
(A path full of chestnut burrs welcomes them.)
(The mysterious guide...)
(guides them through an unknown path.)
- Watch out for the chestnut burrs. - Okay.
(Will their master be at the end of this path?)
Master?
(There's someone on the hill.)
Is that him?
(There's a man...)
(picking up the chestnut burrs.)
(Is it you?)
We're here.
Hey.
(We're here. Hey.)
(Oh, this man...)
Hello.
(They meet their master in the middle of the mountain.)
Hello.
(It's Park Chan Ho.)
Welcome.
Park Chan Ho is the first Korean to join the MLB.
With 124 wins, he's the number one, Asian pitcher...
and a legend.
The entire country is rooting for him.
(During the IMF crisis, he gave hope to his fellow Koreans.)
Park Chan Ho's specialty is throwing fastball...
at the speed of nearly 160km per hour...
and a curveball with a sharp drop.
Chan Ho has signed the contract.
Chan Ho brought the final victory to his team.
I truly thank those who helped me.
Chan Ho will continue...
to challenge himself.
(This special star continues to challenge himself.)
(If I didn't dodge, it would've hit me.)
Take that!
(Today, he'll show a special slapstick comedy.)
(He will make you laugh nonstop.)
(Here comes the fight of the century.)
(It's Park Chan Ho...)
(versus Lee Seung Youp.)
(The two heroes who have influenced baseball's history...)
(are up against each other.)
(Stay tuned...)
(for this legendary match.)
- Unbelievable. - Hello.
(They're happy to meet him.)
Master Park.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
- I'm honored. - Hello.
(But why is he here?)
I recognize all of you.
Do you know who he is?
He introduced himself.
(Who is he?)
He said he's from the same root as you.
- He's also from Gongju. - He's my older brother.
Really?
He's my older brother.
- I knew it. - No wonder.
Weren't you on TV before?
(Se Hyeong recognizes him.)
Probably not.
Wait.
The way you guys talk is strangely similar.
- There's something similar. - Now that I know,
the way they look...
- and their tones of voice... - Are we similar?
Yes.
- You have similar builds too. - And your mustaches too.
- You're right. - It's genetic.
Right? They have distinct mustaches.
- We should pick these chestnuts. - Sure.
My parents used to share them...
with those around me.
It's the chestnut season.
It's the season when we pick them up.
In October or November, I'd visit Korea...
during my off-season.
There would be baseball events.
I'd stop by and pick up some chestnuts.
And my parents would give them...
to my acquaintances.
We'd pick them together.
Have any of you done this before?
Don't you just need to open them with your feet?
You should watch out for something.
What do you think it is?
Can you just tell us? Why do you keep asking questions?
(Can you just tell us?)
- I think I know. - I've done this before.
(What is the most dangerous thing?)
We shouldn't ask questions.
(We shouldn't ask questions.)
(You're correct.)
Your ears are in the most danger.
My ears?
We shouldn't ask too many questions.
You need to watch out.
(He can go on and on when a question is asked.)
Bleeding from your ears is the most dangerous.
We may actually witness it for the first time.
- You should change. - Let's do it.
Could you help them out?
- We need to change our shoes. - We should wear...
- raincoats. - Hand them their raincoats.
Take them.
I can't believe we're picking chestnuts as soon as we arrive.
We need to work immediately.
Flip this like this.
They're in a hurry to make us work.
Do we need to meet a quota or something?
What's the perimeter again?
It's everything.
(They lost for words.)
I guess it's everything, then.
Wait, the entire mountain is filled with chestnuts.
(There are so many chestnuts.)
You need to pick them all up if you want to finish quickly.
Are you serious?
So start picking.
(What is the meaning behind them?)
My father used to do this since we were little.
He ran a small electrical shop on the side.
After we're done, let's boil them and eat them.
- We can roast them as well. - That would be nice.
Look at this one.
- It's huge. - Can you make bread with these?
- Bread? - Yes.
If I don't bake it right, I might go to prison.
(Sang Yun and Se Hyeong pretend as if they didn't hear anything.)
How much is it per sack?
It's 30 dollars per sack.
- 30 dollars? - Yes.
How many chestnuts do you think you can fit in here?
- An unimaginable amount. - A lot.
If you think about that,
you'll want to help your parents out.
And I can't throw them out.
- The chestnuts? - Even if they're rotten.
The chestnuts helped our parents raise us.
(His parents worked hard to make a living.)
- Right. - Now, they share them with others.
(But now, they are happy with what they do.)
(Through them, his parents bought him baseballs and gloves.)
The chestnuts look so pretty.
They're so round.
You'll find rotten ones.
Don't pick them up.
It'll rot the others.
Picking them makes you become focused.
I know.
Don't you become greedy?
- Yes. It makes my back hurt. - It's interesting.
What do you do these days...
back in the States?
After my retirement,
I've become an international public relations committee member.
There's a major league team...
called San Diego Padres.
I'm an adviser for that team.
What kind of younger brother...
was Chan Ho?
He was persistent.
He hated losing.
- Since he was young? - Yes.
He was good at taekwondo.
So I also practiced taekwondo while playing baseball.
But I only learned how to do double sidekick.
(They know what he's talking about.)
He kicked the opponent with his taekwondo skills.
He has said that he lost his temper...
when the opposing player cursed at him.
(He's embarrassed.)
Let's gather together.
Let's have a mid-evaluation session.
You picked up a lot.
You did well.
Here's a question.
(All of a sudden, it's quiz time.)
- Out of the blue? - I'll...
ask a question, and you'll give me an answer.
I went to the States, right?
What do you think my parents did immediately afterwards?
- What your parents did? - Yes.
I know. They sent you kimchi.
No.
- When you joined MLB? - Yes.
Did they make you restoratives?
Did they hang a placard?
I'll give you a hint.
You all saw it.
(Did they see the answer already?)
- You saw it today. - Today?
Did they send you chestnuts?
Did you see anything else on the way?
- Gingko trees. - Gingko trees.
They planted gingko trees.
(They planted gingko trees.)
They have grown for the past 30 years.
- They planted all of these. - But why?
My mother said...
gingko trees have the strongest roots...
and live for a long time.
They live for a long time without dying.
They do.
- They planted the trees, - So...
hoping that you'll put down roots...
in the States.
Right.
(Park Chan Ho is the first Korean to join the MLB in 1994.)
He became the very first non-American to join MLB.
(It's a historic and happy day for the Dodgers.)
(Because we are pleased...)
(to announce that Park Chan Ho and Dodgers will be together.)
It opened the new era in the 100-year history of...
(With everyone's high expectation,)
(the 21-year-old man stood on the American League.)
(Hoping his young son will settle down well...)
(in the strange place,)
(his parents planted ginkgo trees.)
I like it, and I consider it important.
The idea of root is very important to me.
My daughters live in the US.
But I want them to know where they originally come from.
I want them to know who their parents are,
who their grandparents are,
and in what culture their parents grew. I try to teach them that.
When you are in the US, you don't get to experience this.
So it makes me think a lot about how I can teach them...
about their roots.
(Living abroad for a long time, he realized the importance of roots.)
- Great. - Let's go down.
Okay.
Let's go.
This is...
where my parents live.
This is such a lovely house.
This is such a beautiful house.
- This way. - My goodness.
- The scenery is incredible. - This is unbelievable.
(This is crazy.)
(Your son is home.)
It's Chan Ho.
He's here.
(Happy to come home, he knocks on the windows.)
- Is this how you enter? - My goodness.
She's my mother.
- Welcome. - You remember Seung Gi, don't you?
- I know you. - You are still beautiful.
Of course I know.
He's Lee Sang Yun.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Welcome. - Hello.
You must be tired picking chestnuts...
in the rain.
We picked these today.
- You picked a lot. - Hello.
Maybe you picked all of our chestnuts?
We didn't get to go around a lot, but we got a lot.
My goodness. You even picked the rotten ones.
(They even picked the rotten ones.)
- Let's go inside through there. - Yes.
Why didn't we just go in straight away?
He wanted to show her this.
- The house is beautiful. - I am here too.
So beautiful.
(Closing the door)
- I helped too. - I should've hired...
men to pick the chestnuts earlier.
- Have a seat. - Sit beside her.
You must be hungry. Have some snacks.
My goodness.
- Potatoes. - Look at the corns.
- Sit here, Mom. - It's the waxy corn.
It must be still warm.
It's warm.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- It must be still warm. - It looks delicious.
(Taking a bite of the potato...)
It's warm.
(makes him happy.)
I should've...
(Munching)
The chestnut is so sweet.
It will get even sweeter soon.
They are good because they receive the energy of Mount Gyeryong.
(The chestnuts receive the energy of Mount Gyeryong.)
You have the typical Chungcheong Province accent.
Yes. I was born here.
I farm everything with my own hands.
And I want to share it with people.
When I told my father to stop farming chestnuts, he said,
"Would you quit baseball if I tell you to quit it?"
You said you had to do something.
You said that at least you get to share chestnuts with people.
It felt strange.
It was something I always wanted to do,
but he told me to stop doing it.
It felt like my life was ending.
It might make me more comfortable, but...
Did you not give them chestnuts?
I think I didn't get a chance because he joined the army.
- Because he joined the army. - But it's not like...
I served the army all my life.
When I send chestnuts, I include...
a card and say you should enjoy my chestnuts.
- I think I never received a box. - Right?
- With chestnuts, he... - Right?
That's why I wasn't getting a reply from you.
(He suddenly dominates the talk.)
(I lost it.)
(Master Park's father...)
(is unusual.)
(Son,)
(it's time to reveal your father's identity.)
(Who is this unusual man?)
I am their master today.
- He's the master. - I am their master.
- You are their master. - He's your master?
He is.
My goodness.
- It looks like... - My son is the master?
Goodness. I am thankful.
I am the master today.
I have to teach them.
- He just found out. - I think you are teaching them.
(His father's identity...)
(is still a mystery.)
By the way, why do you talk so much outside?
- He... - Me?
When did I...
I don't talk much.
Even if he stays at home all day, he only says what he has to.
He used to fight with his brother a lot.
He said he didn't fight.
Fight? They never fought.
My kids didn't fight.
Whenever they had a fight on the second floor...
We used to live on the second floor of our store.
Whenever they make noise while fighting on the second floor,
our customers came and said,
"You must have rats on the second floor."
Then I summoned them and disciplined them.
It was like this.
My eldest wanted to be a farmer. What's wrong?
What are you trying to say now?
You couldn't see it, could you? With four fingers,
- I... - she clenched his joint.
(Is his joint the brake?)
Tell me the story. I will hear it...
and see if it's appropriate.
- What are you trying to say? - You can tell me.
- It's... - Your ear will bleed.
Seung Gi's ear will bleed.
- Until now... - My father is a dangerous man.
(Even Master Park is scared of him.)
(What is his father's shocking identity?)
He's the first generation too-much-talker.
(He's the 1st generation too-much-talker,)
(Park Je Geun.)
- I got my root from him. - He's the root.
He's the root.
Did you just figure that out?
My goodness.
(He took after his father and became a too-much-talker.)
- He's unbelievable. - I figured it out only now.
In many ways.
I think it solves everyone's big question.
- Right. - It answers everyone's question...
- Where did it come from? - perfectly.
It's a revelation.
That talent didn't just come...
- out of nowhere. - Right.
You can't hide your roots.
(You can't hide your roots.)
Right.
My father recently started writing poems.
He would send them to me through an instant messaging app.
- Yes. - Poems?
Should we show them some of his poems?
- Then... - Should we show them your poems?
- No. - He's happy.
Wait. I mean...
You can take a look at his poems.
You must wonder what these are.
- Did he... - He wrote all of these.
My goodness.
Look at these.
- He wrote a lot. - You are a poet.
- No. - Isn't it published?
It's...
His first daughter-in-law digitized everything for him.
She typed all his poems.
I bought him...
a smartphone and taught him about instant messaging.
He found it fun to write poems there.
He won't let go of his phone all day.
I send him poems through the app.
So I write poems directly on the app.
Where did his phone come from?
- He's holding it now. - He has his phone now.
- It's... - He's holding it now.
Do you write...
- a lot of poems for your wife? - Do I send her poems?
She never replies.
(Laughing)
- She's... - He's really offended about it.
She doesn't.
Considering that he's an amateur, he writes quite well.
He is getting better.
So you read them.
(He's happy.)
She reads them.
But he sends too many of them.
I can't reply to every message.
At first, I tried replying to every message.
Look what I sent her.
(It's a new poem he wrote today.)
You sent one today?
He wrote another one today.
So how can I reply every time?
Other people would be jealous.
- This is... - He always...
You didn't see this, did you?
I didn't see the one he wrote today.
- Can you read it? - Don't look at other ones.
How about this one?
This is the one you like the most? All right.
"I thought your rosy cheeks were the prettiest."
"But you are a woman with a beautiful heart."
"You are a woman with diligence and consistency."
"Winning you was the greatest joy of my life."
"Meeting you was the greatest achievement of my life."
"The world I walk with you..."
"is a flowery path with happiness all around it."
- He sent that today? - Wait.
You didn't reply to that?
- I didn't even see that. - That was too mean.
I will show you.
Look at all the messages. She didn't reply to any of his messages.
(She consistently didn't reply.)
- There's no reply. - Father...
- There are only yellow boxes. - His messages have been...
treated like spam messages.
This is funny. There are only yellow boxes.
- Give it to me. - No replies.
I didn't send him replies.
The ones above are even better.
These are the first drafts.
- The first drafts. - Yes.
I send them to my wife.
- Right. - I send these to her.
She replies from time to time.
(She actually sends replies well.)
- Look at this. "I like autumn." - He's got the genes.
"I like autumn. I like you."
"Don't ask me why. I just like it."
[VIU Ver] E91 Master in the House / All the Butlers "The Legendary Baseball Player, Park Chan Ho" -= Ruo Xi =-
I love that poem.
"I like autumn. I like you."
(I just like you for no reason.)
Do these things just come up in your minds?
Does the inspiration hit you? Or...
When I think of something even in my sleep...
When you try to write it the next day, you forget.
- Right. You forget about it. - So I come out...
of the bed...
and write it down.
I fix it the next day.
(Honey, have you always been such a romantic man?)
He's a poet.
You send her messages...
even when you are in the same house?
Just talk to her.
- Talk to her. - Usually...
Look.
If I am sending her messages,
I can tell her that I love her.
But I can't say that to her face.
Do you know what she would say?
What does she say?
"Are you mad?"
(Are you mad?)
(They quarrel.)
When did I do that? Gosh.
(When did I do that? Gosh.)
(After teasing her, this romantic guy grabs her hand.)
I was just joking to be funny.
Don't do that.
But today is...
They are very sweet.
Even if we are always at home, he is in the study...
writing poems.
He sits in the study doing this.
He sends her messages.
He goes into the study and...
When you are actually together,
you don't say anything to each other.
You write sweet messages to her,
but when you meet, you don't talk. You look away.
- "Who are you?" - This is funny.
You are precisely right.
Actually, when I received this in the US,
I shed tears after reading one poem.
It's on the second page.
(He knows precisely where it is.)
All right.
- He knows precisely where it is. - It's a book of poetry.
Before I returned to the US,
he visited me. On the way back home,
he felt sorry to part and wrote me a poem.
- Recite it for us. - Recite it for us.
It's titled, "I Don't Want You to Leave".
("I Don't Want You to Leave" by Chan Ho's Father)
"Leaves turn into flowers, and flowers ripen in autumn."
"I don't want the autumn to pass."
"I don't want my son to leave for the US."
"I shouldn't have hugged him."
"The sound of his breath makes me emotional."
"I don't wave at him so that he won't see my tears."
"As I turn back, my heart breaks."
"Yesterday, the moon felt like me."
"It remained quiet all night."
"Today, stars pass unusually quietly."
"There's no way of finding out if he safely arrived."
"The feeling of longing ripens the autumn night."
"The thought of my son deepens my thoughts."
(The touching poem made Chan Ho shed tears.)
- It's lovely. - It's really lovely.
I was thinking about that too.
(And he realized how much his father loves him.)
- It's amazing. - When you just say it...
or when you send each other a message,
you get too embarrassed,
and you don't say those things.
- But when you write a poem... - There's more depth.
This is what I remember about him.
He ran an electrical shop...
for a long time.
He was always fixing radios with his head lowered.
I remember him sitting on the desk and fixing the radios.
I remember seeing his back.
I just kept remembering that.
He just worked quietly.
But at one point, he started writing poems.
He sent them to me,
and he sent them to my siblings.
I was really proud of him for that.
Reading his poems,
I was very touched. I was grateful to him.
Do you write poems for your wife too?
I sometimes write to her, but she doesn't reply.
(She's just like his mother.)
They are the same.
- They are the same. - They never reply.
She doesn't reply...
because she's got too many things to do.
That's why she can't reply. It's not because she doesn't want to.
- So you want to reply. - Yes.
"So you want to reply."
I thought you didn't want to reply.
I will send replies now. Wait for them.
"Wait for them."
(Bowing)
Thank you.
(Thank you.)
(Kissing)
(The too-much-lover is too sweet.)
My goodness.
- They are an ideal couple. - You...
You should visit often.
(You should visit often. I love this.)
I will come when you invite me.
I love it.
They are so lovely.
(They are so lovely.)
How did he get into baseball first?
- He... - I was in Grade Three.
When I was in Grade Three, I played baseball for the first time.
- In elementary school. - When I was in Grade Three,
I played baseball for the first time.
When you are in a baseball team, you get to eat ramyeon.
After school, in the schoolyard,
they cooked ramyeon in a big pot. The players got to eat a bowl.
Only the baseball team members could eat it.
So when I was in Grade Three, I joined the baseball team.
- To eat ramyeon. - To eat ramyeon.
I ate a bowl of ramyeon, acted as a ball boy,
and came home.
When I told them I was going to play baseball,
they said I couldn't.
They said I should study.
- He was a smart kid. - So I thought I couldn't do it.
And I quit. I retired after just one day.
(Breaking News! Korean Express Retires After One Day)
- After that... - You retired after just one day?
But my friends...
recommended me as a good athlete.
That's how I got into baseball.
(That's the end of his story.)
That's not how he got into baseball.
Is that not it?
- Why is that not it? - He talked for so long.
- That's how he got into it. - People said...
he would be good at it, so we allowed him to do it.
So in the end, you gave him permission to play baseball?
Yes. Actually,
because I didn't get to study,
I wanted to take a photo with him...
at college graduation.
I was so jealous of people handing their children...
flowers and taking photos with them.
He was a good student too.
So it was my dream...
to see him graduate college.
But he somehow ended up like this.
It must've been his destiny.
- Right. - Yes.
People kept telling him that he was good.
People do feed on compliments.
When he entered middle school, he wanted to be a baseball player.
I couldn't stop him.
(He couldn't stop him from doing what he likes.)
That's how he got into baseball.
(Korean Express had a humble beginning.)
(They just wanted him to grow well and graduate college.)
(But he accomplished more than his parents' humble dream.)
(Their son aimed for a bigger dream,)
(and his photo was put up all around the world.)
(Their son, the pillar of their family,)
(became the pillar of Korea.)
The heatwave is tiringly continuing,
and the news of Chan Ho's victories...
are like cool rain showers to us all.
I felt good to see him win.
I think he's playing the role of a diplomat for Korea.
And I think he's doing a great job.
(Supporting him was...)
(the strong root, his family.)
Among all the things you can farm,
what's the best thing to farm?
- Children. - Children.
(What's better than chestnut farming? Fathering children.)
You know well.
- My wife... - Well done.
gave me a son like Chan Ho.
(Thank you for giving birth and raising my son.)
She made him,
and I am grateful to her.
- I am grateful. - Have some.
She's embarrassed.
(You are embarrassing me.)
I need to show you my roots.
I will show you my other roots.
Roots, roots.
Thank you for the snacks.
His parents are so sweet.
They are so lovely,
and this is going to be a joyful journey...
in search of our roots.
The start of Park Chan Ho baseball career was three years ago...
at Korea-USA-Japan International High School Baseball Competition.
At the time, he was the senior of Gongju High School.
At this competition, he threw a fastball...
at the speed of more than 150km per hour...
and won three matches.
He mesmerized the Dodgers' headhunters watching the game.
("Big Fish Hiding Under Water")
("He Throws Fastballs and Handles Breaking Balls Well")
I've never seen a high school...
with such a big baseball field.
When I was in high school, this didn't exist.
(They go to his alma mater, where Korean Express began.)
When I was in high school, this didn't exist.
- They improved it, right? - It was all sand.
It was just an old school.
When was the last time you visited the school?
It's been 2 to 3 months.
- You visited recently. - I came in the summer.
And I helped the young pitchers.
That must've been a huge honor for them.
What's this sound?
(They hear the loud noise from somewhere.)
What's this place?
(They follow...)
(the noise.)
They are practicing hard.
(The baseball team of Gongju High School is in training.)
(Dreaming of becoming the next Park Chan Ho, they train hard.)
- Is it an indoor training center? - This is nice.
(Even in the rain, they are training hard.)
This is what the sports team should be like.
(He's happy to see them.)
What brings you all here?
(A man welcomes Master Park. Who is he?)
- He's the manager. - Hello.
Hello.
- He's the manager of this team. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
We played baseball together...
from elementary school to college.
- Elementary school to college. - Elementary school to college.
He keeps following me.
- You've been following me. - I started first.
- You started baseball first. - They are obviously friends.
- I started baseball first. - From our understanding,
he started baseball when he was in Grade Four.
- I started when I was in Grade 3. - Did you start earlier?
You started in Grade 3.
- He's more experienced. - He's more experienced.
Look how he's standing.
He's not standing straight.
(This is what friends of 35 years are like.)
- I am the manager. - Because he's the manager,
I have to get more involved...
as an alumnus and as an experienced baseball player.
Whenever he finds the time,
he comes to his alma mater and talks to the young players.
That's very helpful.
- That's such a huge honor. - He's...
There's that, and when we were picking chestnuts,
Chan Ho's elder brother said his son is...
playing baseball.
Doesn't he play for Gongju High School?
He's here.
Really?
Can you find my nephew here?
- Just by looking? - Without looking at his name?
Then I will tell them to gather around to say hi.
Right. We need to be introduced to each other first.
Gather up, kids.
- They are almost like adults. - There are so many of them.
- They are big. - Look at their thighs.
Their energy is daunting.
All right, everyone.
Say hello.
Attention. Salute.
- Hello. - Hello.
- What? - Thank you.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
Grade 12, Grade 11, and Grade 10.
My nephew is here.
- Look for him. - We can look...
for the one who is the most relaxed.
(Find Master Park's nephew.)
(Korean Express's blood relation, baseball prodigy is here.)
I think it's him.
(Who looks like his brother?)
- Why did you get so nervous? - It's nerve-racking.
(Why are you all so nervous?)
(It's as difficult as finding Wally.)
Come on and choose one.
Choose one and bring him.
Who is it? Who is it?
I can't tell.
Who is it?
Who is it? What grade is he in?
I have no idea.
Let's give them hints.
I can't tell.
- He's in Grade 12. - Grade 12.
- Grade 12? - Grade 12.
They are in Grade 12.
Okay. Then I...
(The choices are narrowed down.)
I choose him. Number 18.
I will take the captain of Grade 12 students.
The captain.
- Him? - Yes.
Their number is another hint.
(He gives another hint for the two who are still lost.)
My nephew is wearing the number I wore during my amateur days.
- The number from his amateur days? - The number from his amateur days.
I found him.
No?
I said it was 61, not 16.
- Can you... Yes. - Me?
I am a coach.
- It's fine. - No. No.
(Seong Jae misunderstood him.)
- I am a coach. - He's in Grade 12.
I will take the captain of Grade 12 students.
- He's the coach. - I am the coach.
You are the coach. I am sorry.
How can he be my nephew? He's much older.
Come on.
- I am sorry. - He is...
an alumnus too.
He's a coach.
How old are you?
I am 30.
- Do you pitch a lot? - 30?
Why are you so surprised?
Were you born in 1990?
What do you mean? Are you asking if he's 90?
That really surprised me.
He's five years younger than me.
- He's three years younger than me. - Se Hyeong, big brother.
He's so much younger than Sang Yun.
He called Se Hyeong the big brother.
I got goosebumps when he called me that.
(Thank you, dear little one.)
Master Park, is your nephew one of them?
My nephew is one of them.
(One of the boys SangSeungHyeongJae chose is his nephew.)
- There's a chance. - Is there?
- There's a chance. - Okay.
There's a chance considering his age.
If the coach turns out to be his nephew,
it would be very strange.
It would be.
- Player number 18. - Yes.
He's got dark eyebrows.
Can you lift your hat a little?
He's got dark eyebrows.
- He does. - General's eyebrows.
- He's got dark eyebrows. - They look alike.
I think he must have Master Park's big build.
Also, I think he would play an important role...
such as a captain.
There's a big chance.
Lastly...
He mentioned his number.
He was 61.
- It's actually... - I think they might be related.
- He switched the numbers. - I think he would've done that.
(Does his number hint that they are related?)
On the count of three, please turn around.
We will know once we see your names.
(Among three candidates, who would be Master Park's nephew?)
1, 2, 3.
(Among three candidates, who would be Master Park's nephew?)
Park Sung Ho. Number 16.
(Master Park's nephew is the player number 16,)
(Park Sung Ho.)
- He's my nephew. - Is it him?
Since he was little,
a lot of people said he looks more like me than his father.
He looks just like me in high school.
Now that you mention it, I see the resemblance. The jaw.
Their eyes are similar too.
What is it like?
- Chan Ho is your uncle. - Uncle.
How does that feel?
I really admire him, and there's so much to learn from him.
But who's your favorite baseball player?
Jeong Keun Woo...
(Jeong Keun Woo...)
- Jeong Keun Woo? - Who?
- Jeong Keun Woo. - Jeong Keun Woo.
(Aren't you being too honest?)
His favorite player is Jeong Keun Woo,
and the player he admires is Park Chan Ho.
He won't miss the chance.
(He doesn't want to lose his nephew's love.)
(He loves his nephew, and his nephew loves him.)
- Did you train? - Yes.
He's great.
By the way,
have you ever hit the ball your uncle threw?
- Was it in elementary school? - In elementary school.
He tried it in elementary school.
You are in high school, so you are much stronger.
His ball might seem slow.
- You should do it again. - Now I can...
(Now I can...)
- I haven't done it in a while. - "Now I can".
- "Now I can". - Should we play the catch ball?
(Should we play the catch ball?)
(The family decides to play a round of catch ball.)
Sung Ho, bring a glove.
Come closer.
- Move back. - His uncle is Park Chan Ho.
Move back.
Why would you throw a ball like that?
(Why would you throw a ball like that?)
I am not warmed up.
I am not warmed up yet.
(He's very nervous.)
Park Chan Ho is his uncle.
(They throw the ball back and forth,)
(and there is strange tension.)
Keep going.
(Master Park's words make him anxious.)
(Nervous, he makes a mistake.)
- He threw too hard. - That was deliberate.
- Are you not teaching him? - I think he...
I think he is telling you to pick it up.
This is driving me crazy.
(He's very nervous.)
He must be nervous.
He would be nervous.
How can you not get nervous playing catch ball with your uncle?
(Chan Ho is his uncle and the baseball player he admires.)
- His uncle is the legend. - I know.
(He has to get nervous throwing the ball in front of him.)
Your words would make him even more nervous.
Master Park complained to him about his pitching, so he's nervous.
They both started clenching their teeth.
I am throwing only with my wrist.
Roughly how fast is that ball?
About 80km per hour.
About 80km per hour?
- He can throw twice as fast. - If you throw at 150km per hour,
how fast is the ball?
(He used to throw balls as fast as 150km per hour.)
Upstairs for the strikeout.
Park Chan Ho's specialty is throwing fastball...
at the speed of nearly 160km per hour...
and a curveball with a sharp drop.
He can't catch it then.
(He can't catch it then.)
He can't catch the ball flying at 150km per hour?
I can catch.
- He says he can do it. - He can't catch it?
Are you looking down on Sung Ho right now?
Can you catch it?
Can you throw it?
(He provokes Chan Ho.)
He's provoked.
(It was the manager's straightforward comment.)
Catcher? Is there any catcher?
(I'll show you what a straight ball looks like.)
Catch my ball, catcher.
Is he the catcher?
(Master Park starts his warm-up.)
(Swallowing)
- It's so much faster. - Here.
(It's a whole new level of overwhelming power.)
Hitter, stand next to the catcher.
It must be scary.
Try to dodge the ball if it comes too close to your side.
(Try to dodge the ball if it comes too close to your side.)
- Okay. - Here we go.
I can't even try to swing.
(I can't even try to swing.)
Oh no, I am fully warmed up.
(Oh no, I am fully warmed up.)
(The fastball is as good as his heyday.)
He almost got hit!
(I was too scared.)
That was scary.
I can't see the ball anymore after this point.
You can't, right?
It's there already.
(He can't see the ball because of its speed.)
Gosh, that was scary.
Se Hyeong, do you want to stand as the hitter?
- Sang Yun, you go. - You only stood there once.
- Seriously, it's scary. - Give it a shot, Se Hyeong.
It gets really scary as it comes nearer to you.
- Remember what I said last time? - Yes, sir.
For pitchers...
- Precision is the key. - Precision is the key.
Correct. Pitchers must throw with precision.
Pitchers are not judged by whether the ball was fast or slow.
Come forward. A little more.
A little more. You too, catcher.
(Stand closer to the box. Don't worry, I won't hurt you.)
Stand right there. Don't move.
It would fly about 10cm in front of you.
Hold the gloves near there.
(A fastball that requires precision is on its way.)
A little closer.
- A little more. The other way. - I think he just wet his pants.
- No, I am fine. - Look at the ball.
- Are you getting ready to be hit? - I am going to throw it there.
- Breathe. - I am going to throw it now.
(The crowd is really excited.)
(Se Hyeong is taking deep breaths.)
It must be really scary.
It's funnier if he gets hit by the ball.
"It's funnier if he gets hit"?
If I didn't move, I swear the ball would have hit me.
(It went straight...)
(into the strike zone.)
(If I didn't doge, I swear the ball would have hit me.)
If I didn't doge, the ball would have hit me.
- But you dodged it. - The ball would have hit you?
(The ball flies straight into the glove regardless of Se Hyeong.)
- But you dodged it. - The ball would have hit you?
One of the players said it.
"It's funnier if he gets hit by the ball."
(A player said, "It's funnier if he gets hit by the ball.")
(There's no way that Chan Ho will hit you.)
I'll show you a curveball.
(This time, I'll show you a curveball.)
How does it work?
It just dropped at the end!
(It flew straight...)
The ball really drops at the end.
All balls must be thrown from the same window.
The same window. All balls must be thrown at this point.
Straight balls from here, changeups from here, and curveballs from here.
They are all thrown with the same force.
I see! This is how you throw a ball.
You must throw it as you throw a straight ball,
so the hitters can't feel it until halfway.
They would all swing it as if it's a straight ball.
(A straight ball)
(A curveball)
Swing and miss. Strike-out.
(He throws a straight ball first,)
(then a curveball using the same posture.)
(The hitters will swing and miss thinking that it's a straight ball.)
You can't learn something like that anywhere else.
(It's special know-how of the legendary pitcher.)
- Watch this straight ball. - A straight ball.
(A straight ball...)
(flies in a straight line at the speed of light.)
That was a straight ball. I'll now throw a curveball.
It will fly the same trajectory then drops at the end.
(A curveball...)
(would fly straight then drops at the end.)
- You dodged well. - You did dodge well.
- You had your guard down. - It was really close.
- That is so scientific. - Then...
are you able to hit a small object from far away?
Far away?
Maybe that camera?
- Not camera. - I mean...
- What about plastic bottles? - Plastic bottles?
- Plastic bottles. - Should we play a game?
- Sounds good. - All right.
- Should we do a bet? - What kind of?
- Let's do a bet. - If we win,
you should treat all of us.
Hang on. Before we do that...
Let's see if you can hit that target.
Who?
(Who?)
Within our team?
I meant you.
- Me? - Show it to us.
- Of course I can. - This...
- will show if you still have it. - Should I show it to them?
Let's see.
Is this the target?
(It unexpectedly turned out to be a test in front of juniors...)
(with his pride on the line.)
We should take a step back.
You can move closer over there.
- I beg your pardon? - You can move closer to the side.
I'm good, thank you.
(I'm good, thank you.)
(Watching from here is intimidating already.)
- I'll never hit you. - Right.
You can watch it closer.
We are watching his demonstration, right?
Yes.
Let me give it a shot.
(While his friends, students,)
(and juniors are watching,)
(he will throw a ball to hit a 1.5L plastic bottle.)
(Just like how he aims for the strike zone...)
(on the mound,)
(he once again...)
(revives again as his nickname, "Korean Express".)
(He hits the target successfully.)
(The ball flies in a straight line...)
(from his powerful pitching posture.)
- That was amazing. - Awesome.
That was extremely precise.
- Move on to Step Two? - Step Two.
(He challenges Step 2.)
He didn't just hit it. He hit exactly in the middle.
Here it goes.
(Here it goes.)
Here it goes.
(For Step 2,)
(he also successfully hits the target.)
(It's a mesmerizing trajectory similar to a clothesline.)
(Legend is a legend for a reason.)
- Step Three! - You still got it.
- Right? - Do you think he's good?
- Yes. - Really?
It is smaller than I thought.
It is really small.
(It's too far that he can barely see the target.)
For this one, go and stand next to it.
Just like a hitter.
Do you need to focus more?
- You can do it. - Why?
(You can do it.)
- You come here. - You can just stand there.
You were there. The camera is there too.
I can get the angle if someone stands there like a hitter.
(What a relief.)
Put your hands down.
(Put your hands down.)
(This is the last challenge...)
(while everyone else is watching.)
(The ball barely misses the target.)
(The bottle shakes from the wind pressure.)
(And this person shakes even more.)
- That was the wind, right? - It was the wind.
Were you trying to hit me?
No, no.
(How can people hit it when standing next to it is this scary?)
- It's very intimidating. - It is intimidating.
(How can people hit it when standing next to it is this scary?)
This is your last chance.
(Control is the key to a pitcher. This is his last chance!)
(He throws the last ball.)
(Is it going to hit the target?)
(Strike!)
(This is...)
(what Korean Express can do.)
(Proud)
- Amazing. - It was right here.
Why don't you give it a shot?
- Give it a try. - Do you want to try?
Each of you should try to throw one.
Can I borrow your gloves?
- How do I hold it? - I beg your pardon?
- Like this? - Just follow the ball.
If you play for the first time, I will throw it like this.
(A very light warm-up)
- Good job. - Try to catch it the other way.
Good. That's it.
You are good.
(Good job, Seung Gi.)
Try to throw it like this.
Use your arms to make a bigger swing.
That's it. Throw it like this.
(He is throwing just like how he is told.)
- Seung Gi is really good. - Your posture is good.
(He is throwing powerfully.)
- Good job. - He is good at it.
- He is good at all sports. - I see.
- I am really nervous. - You are good.
(You are good.)
You are throwing it well.
Impressive!
(As they throw the ball back and forth,)
(the speed of the ball increases.)
Impressive Seung Gi! You are good at this.
- It's like the show "Einstein". - Amazing!
(This could work!)
(It's like the show "Einstein".)
- He is a good pitcher. - Amazing.
(He may be a little too old to be called a prodigy.)
It's your turn.
- Give it a try. - You should.
We should use the plastic bottle.
We should use the big one.
You can do this one.
From here, it's further than it looks.
I thought so too. It must be really small.
- It's far. - It is far.
- It's not easy. - From here,
it looks like a small plastic bottle.
We can't hit it.
How did he do it?
All right. The first pitcher.
Here I come.
(Seong Jae is the first pitcher to try the impossible.)
(An excessively powerful pitch...)
(leads to a wild pitch.)
Master Park, he was throwing with his pinky.
- Use your 2nd and 3rd fingers. - Like this?
- No, no. - You aimed it right.
From behind, you aimed it right.
- Really? - It was a bad throw, though.
Hold it like this.
Hold it like that.
(He teaches him how to hold the ball.)
I'll throw it now.
(He holds it as he was taught.)
That's it.
(And he throws powerfully.)
(It's close.)
(The trajectory is stabler than before he was corrected.)
That was close, wasn't it?
(That's fine.)
- Show them. - It's Lee Seung Gi!
(Seung Gi takes the mound with everyone's expectations.)
His posture looks good, doesn't it?
(He aims the target...)
(as he did before and in a confident way.)
(He hits the bottle.)
(He hit it.)
- He's good at this stuff. - Right.
- He's good with pressure. - Look.
(He's our pride.)
(That's our Seung Gi.)
(He actually hit it.)
- Good job. - I'm not throwing anymore.
- This is... - I won't throw anymore.
Seung Gi does well in crucial moments.
Which one of you is confident you can hit the target?
(Rise, my juniors.)
Yes, let's do it.
He was designated...
as the second pitcher of Doosan Bears.
He has good control of the ball, and he's a promising athlete.
Is the student that threw up to 144km per hour?
(A pitcher speaks with the baseball.)
Don't throw it down here.
- Throw it up here. - But he caught it.
(Master is also surprised.)
He's flexible. It looked like a whip.
Yes, it looked like a whip.
You've never done this kind of thing, have you?
(Stage 1, the plastic bottle)
(He hits it at once.)
(He's a dark horse with speed and control.)
(With his accurate precision,)
(he hits the can which is Stage 3.)
That was amazing.
His arm is like a gun.
Would you like to try?
You should if you want to make it more interesting.
(Will we be a match for them?)
Do you have to be all nervous because of this?
- No. - No, we'll try.
(The desperate game begins.)
You should throw it like this. If you throw it like this...
Right. It's like this.
- There's the weight of the water. - Yes.
We'll come up with a strategy.
- I should catch it like this. - We're good at catching stuff.
- We should catch it like this. - What?
- We need a basket. - You're throwing it from that far?
(The atmosphere is nervous.)
This is far.
(They seem heroic.)
That's very far.
(Is that a basket?)
Okay.
(Is that a water balloon?)
Are you ready?
(They'll be playing catch with water balloons.)
I'll explain the rules one last time.
The small one counts as 1 point, and the big one counts as 5 points.
Okay.
- It's very far away. - Get ready.
Begin.
(He throws the water balloon high with all his strength.)
(It flies in an arc...)
(and arrives safely in Se Hyeong's arms.)
(Grunting)
(The consequence of a wild pitch is...)
(up to the receiver to handle.)
(They resume delivering them in an arc.)
(That's enough mistakes.)
You got this.
(It's a special delivery.)
How many are there?
(Se Hyeong receives the low balls.)
(Sang Yun receives the high balls.)
(Thudding)
(He magically receives the balloon on the edge of the basket.)
He's got skills.
(He's one with the basket.)
Here.
(The water balloon stunt continues ceaselessly.)
(He blocks the balloon once,)
(and he receives it lower.)
He received his own balloon.
They're good.
(Sang Yun also shows a stunt.)
(Is this basketball or baseball?)
(He keeps throwing the balloons.)
Timeout.
(And now he's exhausted.)
- Hold on. - They did great.
Now you two go throw.
You two can go throw.
- Can you get them all by yourself? - Yes. Go ahead.
(The balloons are coming in too fast.)
(He saves 2 balloons in the meantime.)
(But it's a meaningless struggle against too many balloons.)
(And the pupils don't seem to stop.)
(I love it.)
Receive them properly!
(Time is over.)
How many did he get?
(So that's what it feels like.)
Okay. Shout out, "My ball."
- Yes. - Let's go.
Get ready.
Begin.
My ball.
Hey.
(His voice echoes blankly.)
- Throw it faster. - My ball.
Faster.
- It popped. - It popped.
(Popping)
Put it in there.
- What is this? - Yes!
(I think...)
(we're hopeless.)
(We think so too.)
- It's a festival! - Yes!
(It's a festival of balloons.)
(This is exactly why we make variety shows.)
Come out.
My ball!
(My ball!)
(That means he's going to burst the balloon.)
You're showing no control. Throw it higher.
(Controlling the ball,)
(or saying, "My ball," they're all meaningless.)
Shout out, "My ball."
- My ball. - My ball.
Stay away from each other!
Keep the distance.
Okay.
Okay!
- Okay! - Okay!
We're out of time!
Come out if you want to throw.
(It's a party of too many balloons...)
(with the love from their students.)
He's about to throw this.
What is it?
(There seems to be resentment in their love.)
(Trip to Gongju with the master will be continued next week.)
Park Chan Ho never missed...
(Korea Express, Park Chan Ho is the legend of the legends.)
(The batter of the nation, Lee Seung Youp is also a legend.)
(The two legends will face off against each other.)
(Master invites his designated hitter,)
(Lee Seung Youp!)
Let me explain.
(He cares for him too much.)
(Let me speak.)
(I know this is childish,)
(but I have to ask you this question.)
(Who wins when you play against each other?)
(Do you want to go?)
(The match between the living legends of Korean baseball will...)
(contend for the victory.)
Are you ready?
(It's the match of the century...)
(between the legendary pitcher and the legendary batter.)
No one smiles after a defeat.
(The Legendary Match of the Stars)
