Korea's Shinhwa Group will be a sponsor of the London Olympics.
Despite the world's economic downfall.
Ever since the group went public,
Shinhwa has been the top conglomerate.
It's become a world-class corporation.
The Shinhwa Group.
From electronic goods to cars, and from distribution to communications,
the conglomerate has become a household name.
It's hard not to hear about the company.
It's one of Korea's most successful companies.
On the monumental day it raked in $10 million in exports,
the chairman of the group was summoned to the president's office.
Instead of receiving an award, he said, "Let me build a school for my grandson."
Shinhwa School
There's never been a school like it in Korea's educational history.
The president at the time placed great importance on the economy.
He made a special law to help build the school.
Those who graduate from the school are accepted by high society.
The school only exists for the top 1% of society.
It has built a reputation for being an extremely elite institution.
Even those in the upper class cannot make it into the school.
From Shinhwa Kindergarten,
to Shinhwa's primary, middle, and high schools,
once students are accepted, they can continue all the way up.
The school is the pride and joy of parents and students alike,
while people outside the schools are envious.
But in this school of the super-rich and famous,
something extraordinary is taking place.
Hey, Minha.
What are you going to do?
Hey, jerk!
Catch him!
Let me go!
How can I help you?
I'm here to deliver some dry cleaning.
I see.
Thank you.
Find him quick!
He's over there! Catch him!
Is this really a school?
On the roof! Minha is on the roof!
Really?
Is it just an act?
- No, it's totally true! - Really?
Lee Minha?
I told you he wouldn't last a week.
At least he lasted for three days.
It hasn't been quite three days.
Is this what you want?
Fine.
I'll give you what you want.
Excuse me!
Hey, Lee Minha!
I mean, sir.
Who are you?
Me?
If you must know,
I'm here on a delivery.
A dry cleaning delivery. $30, please.
Okay, okay.
$25.
I won't charge for the gym uniform.
If I die...
You can bill my family.
Don't say that.
Die?
Are you trying to die?
But why?
Why kill yourself when you go to such a great school?
This isn't a school. It's hell.
Hey!
You should try life outside of this school. Have you heard of college exams?
Have you heard of F4?
F what?
F4?
What's that?
When they give you a red card,
you get hunted down by the entire school.
Like this.
Why do you put up with them?
They're just a bunch of guys trying to look cool.
If they went to my school, I'd knock some sense into them!
Like that.
Your friends are lucky.
What?
To have a friend like you.
No!
Who is This Girl?
"Shinhwa School Marred by Violence."
"So who saved the ditressed student?"
"It wasn't a fellow student who saved the day."
"It was an average girl who came to deliver dry cleaning."
Those students have been exempted from taking college entrance exams.
If you have nothing better to do, take the exams!
These students must be punished!
I can't accept this. I won't shop at the Shinhwa Supermarket.
- Shinhwa School must be closed! - Must be closed!
Get rid of privileged education!
I'm here at the candlelight vigil
that's being held to protest Shinhwa.
Let's listen to what the people have to say.
Hello.
Why are you on the streets with candles?
My friend quit school after being bullied.
Normal students are stressed out about college entrance exams,
but the kids in that school have nothing to worry about.
Jandi, do you know what your nickname is?
You've been called "Wonder Girl," the true Wonder Woman of our generation.
Let's go, Geum Jandi Laundry!
Stop it already!
You're awesome.
But I'm curious about Flower 4.
Are they really all that handsome?
I wish I could see them up close.
Flower 4?
Flower, my foot. They look more like flies.
Four flies!
- Jandi, look this way. - Jandi, can you give us a comment?
- Look this way! - Look here!
Please, look in this direction.
The school isn't for the gifted.
It's not a school for smart students. It's a school for the rich.
Korea is an equal opportunity society.
Bourgeois schools must be banned.
Average Girl Saves The Day
I'm sorry, ma'am.
The PR department has everything under control.
Do you think the situation is under control?
How could you let reporters
mention Junpyo's name in the papers?
I'm really sorry.
Do you know why public opinion is intimidating?
Because the public is ignorant.
Once a fire is ignited, there's no going back.
Reason won't get through to them.
The one who started the fire should put it out.
Ma'am, the prime minister is on the line.
Yes, I'm here.
Things are starting to get interesting.
I never thought I'd be chased around by paparazzi.
This is all because of one bad delivery.
I'm really sick of Shinhwa and F4.
I'm back.
There she is!
Jandi, say hello.
He's the Shinhwa chairman's secretary.
What?
I'm finally face to face with the famous Wonder Girl.
Nice to meet you.
I didn't push him. It's the truth.
It was F4 or whatever...
I'll get to the point.
Jandi, don't be surprised.
You'll be attending Shinhwa School starting tomorrow.
You're going to Shinhwa!
What?
Actually...
The chairman wants you to attend on a special scholarship.
On scholarship!
Me on a scholarship? Why?
We regard you as...
You used to be a swimmer.
You can swim again.
You'll be able to swim!
No.
- What? - Why not?
Are you crazy, Jandi?
I like the way things are now.
I'm not cut out for a school like that.
I have to refuse.
Jandi, please reconsider.
There's nothing to reconsider. She'll be starting tomorrow.
I'll see you at school tomorrow.
We'll do whatever it takes to convince her.
Please do that.
Sir?
I know this is a great opportunity.
Mom!
Don't scream at me. Just look over there.
Shinhwa High! Shinhwa High!
I never thought I'd live to see this happen.
For the first time in my life, I'm proud of you.
Dad.
I can't believe you don't like the school.
Do you know how expensive the tuition is?
Mom, I still don't want to go!
It's a school that even rich people dream of attending,
so why not you?
Not long ago, you had nothing good to say about Shinhwa School!
That's before I found out you'd be attending the school.
Money has literally fallen from the sky.
Why would you say no?
I don't know. I have a bad feeling about it.
I'm not going to that school, no matter what you say!
You used to like swimming.
You've always wanted to attend a school with a pool.
What do you take me for?
Do you think I'd be impressed by a swimming pool?
No, no. I won't go!
Wait.
Wait a second.
See you.
Jandi, good luck!
See you.
Dry cleaning!
- Jandi's dry cleaning. - It's Jandi's dry cleaning.
I've come to deliver your dry cleaning.
Dry cleaning.
- Aren't my earrings pretty? - Yeah, they are.
Only two Neil Barrett shirts were imported to Korea.
I have one. Guess who bought the other?
Who?
Gu Junpyo.
That's great!
Don't you think I have better style than he does?
- Let me borrow it once. - Me first.
Where the heck is it?
Which way to the swimming pool?
Over there?
Thank you.
I'm sorry. Continue playing your violin.
Good-bye.
It's F4!
Out of the way.
What is it?
You have three seconds.
For what?
Three.
Two.
One.
Wubin, any juice left?
Would you like some?
Are you okay?
Is he crazy or what?
Cat got your tongue?
Why are you so quiet?
What did you just say?
Who are you?
Us?
Sorry about the late introduction.
Ginger.
Sunny.
Miranda.
We're the hottest girls at Shinhwa High.
Enough small talk.
I heard you calling someone crazy.
Don't tell me you were referring to F4.
F what?
So the guys I just saw were the infamous F4?
Infamous?
I'd call it fame.
If you're not careful, your mouth will get you in trouble.
So your parents run a laundromat?
It's a dry cleaning service.
What about it?
I've never met anyone whose parents run a laundromat.
It's just so fascinating.
Look all you want. I won't charge you anything.
We'll go easy on you since it's your first day.
What do you mean?
For talking badly about F4.
What's wrong with that?
What's so great about them?
Oh, transfer student.
Haven't you heard anything about F4?
No.
Let's go gang.
Song Wubin is the son of Imsil Construction's chairman.
His family has a great deal of real estate, owning half of Jeju Island.
His family is know for its connection to the mafia.
They still own many?night clubs and high-class bars.
They have a great deal of cash as well.
So Yijeong made his artistic debut at 16 years old.
He's known to be a genius potter.
He's one of the young artists recognized by UNESCO.
At least one guy has earned his own success.
Not all artists are poor these days.
His grandfather is the famous So Yunhoe.
His family owns the Wusong Museum.
The Wusong Museum?
It belongs to his family? How much is it all worth?
More than you could ever imagine.
That's a picture of a former president.
Do you see the small boy sitting here?
That's Yun Jihu from F4.
President Yun's Son and Wife Killed, Survived by Their Son
So Yun Jihu is the grandson of President Yun Seokyeong?
Do you know the Suam Art Center where Sarah Chang performed?
It belongs to the Suam Cultural Foundation.
It also owns a European soccer team and a major league baseball team.
I envy him the most.
Do I need to explain further?
He's the son of Korea's largest conglomerate.
He's Gu Junpyo, the leader of F4.
So those guys are F4?
I can't believe it!
Gu Jeongpyo is such a loser!
F4 stands for four flies!
You're lucky to have been born with silver spoons in your mouths!
What a waste! For people like them to be born of wealth!
I'm warning you.
Don't ever come into my sight again!
The day that I respect you
as upperclassmen is the day I jump off the roof!
Yun Jihu.
You're just as awful.
I couldn't sleep because of all the noise.
I'm sorry. I didn't know anyone was around.
Are you sure?
About what?
Jumping off the roof.
Well...
Did you hear everything?
What?
Well...
The part where you called us flies?
I almost forgot.
It's Junpyo.
What?
You said his name wrong. It's Gu Junpyo.
If you're going to hate him, you should get his name right.
Oh, rice balls.
- Rice balls? - They're really delicious.
They look cute.
Oops. What's that smell?
It really stints.
Here.
Hey, transfer student. Why'd you pack a smelly lunch?
Can't you read?
- Yeah. - So?
It's stupid to eat lunches that cost 50 bucks.
So you're going to continue eating your stinky lunch?
That's right.
It's F4!
Misuk, hurry!
I'm going crazy.
Can I try one of those?
Please come again.
Thank you.
She's from Germany?
Yes.
She's really pretty.
I thought she was a living doll.
I'm glad you've made a friend.
I was worried people would pick on you.
They do.
- What? - I'm picked on.
But actually, I'm glad they don't want to talk to me.
I hope I can lead a quiet life until I graduate.
What happened to you?
What happened to the real Jandi?
Remember how you helped me when I was in trouble?
And how you fought against that gang in junior high.
You were all about justice.
But what?
What other choice do I have?
If I did what I wanted,
my mom would probably kill me.
Goodness.
I'm not putting cucumbers on your face for nothing.
Your dad wanted to have some for dinner,
but I've opted to invest them on your face.
An investment with cucumbers?
Wait until your skin starts to glow.
All the guys at your school are high-class.
Don't you think this is the best investment ever?
Don't talk to me. I'm ironing her uniform.
Hey!
Look what you've done.
You little rascal!
Why are you ironing my uniform?
I thought your arms hurt from ironing all day.
In 15 years of working in dry cleaning, I've never seen such great clothes.
They're only fit for the finest.
What are you doing?
Can you let me wear it on Sunday?
Jandi, you have to treat your uniform with great care,
no matter where you are.
Be careful not to spill anything on it.
My arm doesn't hurt at all. After all, this belongs to my daughter.
Alright.
That girl!
Honey, don't forget to iron the lining.
I'm not going to give up on justice.
People will hate me whatever I do,
so I'm going to speak my mind.
F4! All of you are dead tomorrow.
- It's F4! - Where?
Junpyo.
I made this myself for you.
Please accept it.
He accepted it.
Junpyo doesn't eat pastries made by anyone
other than a patissier.
What do you want?
Got something to say?
I have a lot to say, in fact.
You!
Don't you have any manners at all?
I don't expect you to be modest,
but you should try to be nice.
Would it hurt to accept her cake?
She might want to jump off the roof like that other guy?
What do you want?
Do you have something to say?
No.
You're swimming too much. It'll tire you out.
I'm being punished.
Punished?
What did you do wrong?
I'm punishing myself for being a coward.
So do you feel better now?
Yeah!
There are two reasons for me attending this school.
What are they?
The swimming pool.
And you.
Hey!
Junpyo.
Junpyo, I'm sorry.
Sorry?
Is that all you can say?
Saying that doesn't change anything.
It was a mistake.
I'll buy you a new pair exactly like them.
Hey.
Do you have more money than I do?
What?
You'll need more than money to buy them.
My shoes were handmade in Florence.
How will you get a pair exactly like them?
I'm sorry.
Then I'll do everything I can.
Everything?
Yes.
Lick it.
What?
Lick it.
Junpyo.
You said you'd do everything.
Stop it!
She didn't fall down on purpose.
She apologized fully.
Who the heck are you?
Hey, sophomore.
I guess you're new to Korea. Freedom of speech is forbidden here.
You're being rude.
Oh, really?
Are you the Wonder Girl?
I thought you'd look more like Wonder Woman.
Not exactly a sight for sore eyes.
I'm glad I've disappointed you.
Is this your idea of fun?
Why are you butting into other people's affairs?
She's my friend.
I guess you don't know much about true friendship.
Friendship?
Let's see how that works.
Lick it.
What?
If you lick it, I'll let it pass.
Hey!
What is this?
Money?
Your money isn't really yours.
Is this my idea of fun?
My idea of fun is to make dumb, rich kids suffer!
Dry cleaning is $2.50. That's 50 cents extra.
If you can't get the stain out, bring it to my shop.
What?
Who does she think she is?
What's wrong with Junpyo?
I think he's too shocked.
He's been like that for hours.
What are you doing? You look so serious.
Don't touch me.
Can't you see I'm about to explode?
I'm thinking of a good way to take Jandi down.
What's there to think about? Just do the usual.
- Hey. - What?
You're really smart.
Jandi's Dry Cleaning
Jandi's Dry Cleaning.
You're dead now.
There it is.
Geum Jandi, sophomore from homeroom B.
She's gotten a penalty card!
I don't play soccer.
What's with the penalty card?
I guess you don't have a desk.
No desk!
How can you even dream of studying with us?
Why'd you come to school?
My book...
Get out of here, tramp! Crazy girl, get lost
You're dead today.
Who did it?
If you have something to say, come out now.
Who did this?
Jandi, you have to treat your uniform with great care,
no matter where you are.
My arm doesn't hurt at all. After all, this belongs to my daughter.
More, more!
Give it all you've got!
Someone bring me some oil. All we need is to fry her.
She's just a pancake.
Give me more!
Aren't you done with her?
No way.
It'll be over when Jandi kneels before me.
She shouldn't have asked for trouble.
That's right.
I don't think she'll last a week.
A week?
More like three days.
If my bet is right, you owe me some pottery.
You've never cared about my work.
My girlfriend is a fan of your work.
If I win, give me some girls' phone numbers.
You're on.
Keep it down. She'll be here soon.
Here.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Ta-da!
I forgot.
She'd need some time to clean up.
I guess I was too early.
Again.
Five, four...
Three.
Two.
One.
Did you get it right?
So why isn't she here?
Where the heck is she?
Surrender?
Give me a break!
Do you think I'd step back now?
You've got the wrong person.
You've never had it hard.
Have you ever tried swimming in a sauna?
For the average person, perseverance is the key to survival!
How many eggs is this?
Flour is expensive these days.
What a waste!
How many pancakes would this batter have made?
Oh, my!
Who's there?
You're always making so much noise.
Do you know how to make pancakes?
What?
Pancakes.
They're made with flour, milk, and sugar.
Just like that.
That's quite easy.
Your handkerchief.
It's okay.
I'll return it to you.
I won't be coming back.
You're always making too much noise.
Min Seohyeon's Happy Brunch
I'm sorry, Jandi.
Please forgive me.
I'll have to charge 30 bucks.
I know how much it's worth. Don't try to trick me.
It'll cost more to have it done quick.
And just look at this.
I'm giving you a discount.
Oh, geez!
I'm very well versed in dry cleaning.
Forget it.
You can visit Jandi's Dry Cleaning around the corner.
Oh, mister.
Okay, what about $25?
This restaurant only accepts one group a week.
I was still on the waiting list.
How'd you do it?
So you could tell just by her hands?
I knew she was a famous chef.
Hi.
Is everything going as planned?
Don't make a mistake.
Let's eat.
Here.
Cheers!
Oh, my!
Mom!
Are you crazy?
Other girls are going on diets.
What are you doing?
Why should I be dieting?
You have to work on your figure.
That way the rich guys will look in your direction.
We don't have money, nor do you come from a great family.
How dare you look down on dieting?
Give me the rice!
No!
My survival is more important than a diet!
Swimmers only become stars if they're slim!
Don't you know Kim Yeona?
You know nothing about today's trends.
Give it back.
Now!
Kim Yeona is a figure skater.
She's not a swimmer.
Stop!
Hey!
Give me the rice!
Hey!
Jandi, hand over the rice.
Do I have a belly?
A little.
I'm sorry about that.
It's all because of the swimming pool.
If I had attended this school earlier, I'd be in the Olympics.
You bet.
What?
What's all this?
Gu Junpyo!
Why are you smiling?
I'm sure she's mad just about now.
Who?
The dry cleaning girl?
Wait. How long has it been?
Over a week.
Okay, give me the phone numbers.
She's quite stubborn.
I think she's the first girl who's gone against F4.
What?
I'm being too easy on her.
Where is Jihu?
He's probably sleeping somewhere.
Who are you?
Let me go!
Let go!
- Let me go! - Be quiet!
What? You couldn't find her?
I heard someone at your school is pregnant.
What?
Don't you smell something nasty?
Hey, Geum Jandi!
I think what you're doing is childish.
I think one guy is different.
Who?
I think...
she's fallen for me.
What?
I'm tall, handsome, and loaded. How could you resist me?
Are you stupid?
He's waiting.
Who?
Your prince.
I must be dreaming.
I don't know what's going on, but it's interesting.
What are you doing here?
This is my house.
You're always so noisy.
Do Jihu and Min Seohyeon know each other?
She's Jihu's first love and she's almost like his mother.
Geum Jandi!
Junpyo has fallen into the swimming pool.
Junpyo, wake up. Breathe!
