Who do you think you are?
Who are you to meddle in my affairs?
You said you're against private education.
So why do you meddle in and stir up trouble?
You keep talking down to me.
Should I talk down to you too?
Yeah, let's do that.
And you want a word of advice while we're at it?
Raise your daughter properly.
What will become of her if she continues to be so rude?
How dare you. I'll rip your lips off!
Ridiculous?
How dare you. I'll rip your lips off!
You're laughing?
Did you just laugh?
You...
It is you.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean?
Forget it.
Let's stop this.
Stop?
You want to stop after speaking ill of my daughter?
You're right.
I shouldn't judge other people's children.
That was careless of me.
I'm sorry.
It was you, wasn't it?
You spread the rumor.
It wasn't me.
Why would I spread such a rumor?
How did they find out when you're the only one who knew?
And so what if they know?
So what if your dad sells guts and blood pudding?
What did you just say?
Are you ashamed?
Are you ashamed of your dad?
You are ridiculous.
Ridiculous?
How dare you. I'll rip your lips off!
Han Seojin, huh?
She hasn't changed a bit.
You...
It is you.
She knows.
She knows who I am.
What am I going to do if she tells people?
What if the rumor spreads around Sky Castle?
No, what if Yeseo and Yebin find out?
"Sooim"
Can we talk?
You're right.
I'm Kwak Mihyang.
My husband and his family know that I'm Kwak Mihyang.
But the people here in Sky Castle and my kids...
...know me as Han Seojin.
I have a favor.
Please don't tell anyone.
You're still the same.
You haven't changed at all.
You're right. This is how I live.
The fact that I was the daughter of a drunk who sold guts and blood pudding...
...is humiliating for me.
Humiliating?
You once spread the rumor about me, right?
My gosh.
Do you still believe that it was me?
I told you it wasn't me.
I gave you a free pass back then.
But if you do it again...
...I will not stand for it.
Whether you're Kwak Mihyang or Han Seojin, it doesn't matter to me.
Frankly speaking, I don't care at all if you're a drunk butcher's daughter...
...or the wife of a doctor at a university.
It's your life.
Why would I tell you how to live your life?
All right. Thank you.
It's a remarkable coincidence that we've met again.
Let's not burn this bridge, okay?
Thanks for the tea. Bye.
Mrs. Han, the dry cleaner is coming by today.
Do you need anything dry-cleaned?
Dry-clean? Just a second.
How dare that old tortoise mess with me.
Honey?
Honey, where did you get this photo?
Youngjae's family photo was in your suit pocket.
I found it in Soochang's office.
I wouldn't be mistreated like this if Soochang was still here.
Were you able to get in touch with him?
No. He turned off his cellphone.
I heard Youngjae didn't even enroll in SNU.
Is it really all because of Youngjae?
Do you know something?
It's because of Youngjae...
What would I know?
Soochang once said that he should've cut ties with Youngjae.
What's wrong?
Do you know something?
Me?
About what? What would I know?
Mom barged into my room at 1 AM.
Don't even think about sleeping from now on.
You're getting lazy.
How could you sleep after being placed second?
Not just second in your class, but in your entire school.
Do you still feel like sleeping?
Are you going to just stand there?
Start studying!
Let me make myself clear.
Domestic disputes are beyond my limit.
They only have themselves to blame for their misfortunes.
The admission expert shouldn't be held responsible.
Let's just say there was a problem.
Youngjae and Yeseo aren't the same.
Are you and Myungjoo the same?
Do you think I'm Youngjae? I'm not him.
Just because he's screwed, doesn't mean that I will be.
Right.
Youngjae and Yeseo aren't the same.
Youngjae's family ended up like that because of Gaeul.
No. It was because of their own problems.
"Han Seojin"
I'm sorry, Coach Kim.
I was careless last time.
I'd like to apologize to you in person.
Can you make some time for me?
Everyone hated the book club but didn't dare say so.
But one thing led to another and the idea of vote came up.
So there will be a vote?
Yes. To decide if we should continue the book club or not.
Yebin.
Aren't you going hiking tomorrow?
I can go hiking some other time.
I should attend too.
What are you thinking?
If a man who never attends shows up to vote...
...what would Professor Cha think?
Why should I care about what he thinks?
Do you know how important reading is for the kids to go to university?
You always talk about university.
Don't you know that he's using the book club just to show off?
So what if he shows off?
Even if you vote against it, the book club will not disband.
Don't bother and just go hiking.
Okay?
Yeseo.
How did the idea of voting came up when she's the biggest supporter?
Because of the lady who moved in recently.
She's really awesome.
The lady who moved in?
Hwang Chiyoung's wife?
Why?
You've stirred things up.
I thought you wanted to get along with the neighbors.
I do want to get along.
But I couldn't hold back for the kids' sake.
Well done, Mom.
Do you know what Seojoon said?
Seojoon?
Oh, Professor Cha's eldest son?
He said the book club is hell.
He thought there was no way out of it.
But you opened up that hell's gates.
My goodness. Was the book club that bad?
Now that you opened the gates, you should get them out.
So...
...are the odds in your favor?
Out of the 12 of us...
...only Yebin, Woojoo and that woman will vote no.
A smart man like Professor Cha would've known that already.
He brought up the vote so she'll be outcasted.
-That feels nice. -Is it?
Jinhee, go lower.
-Lower? Here? -Uh-uh.
-Here? -Yes, right there.
But...
...will it be those three only?
Of course. All four of Professor Cha's family will vote to continue the club.
As for Seojin and Yeseo...
Are you thinking of voting against the club?
What do you take me for?
I'm extremely busy...
...but I take part to help Soohan improve his reading ability.
Right. You're the only dad who attends all the meetings.
That's my baby.
Do it on this side.
You stink. Go away.
Ouch, my back!
Your back? Oh, my!
Oh, honey. What do we do?
-Jinhee... -Does it hurt?
What do we do?
Yes, yes, yes... Yes?
No, no.
Nine against three.
Eight against four?
I can't have more than three dissenting votes.
That would be embarrassing for me.
"A Vote on the Issue of Continuing Sky Castle's Family Book Club, Omphalos"
It's time to begin the vote.
Those who believe that Omphalos should remain, circle "yes."
Those who disagree can circle "no".
All right. We will begin the...
Look at him showing off.
What is he, the chairman?
What is that quack doing here?
Damn.
It's nine against four.
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes, No"
Hurry up.
No.
"Yes: 4, No: 3"
No.
-No. -No.
No.
"Sky Castle's Family Book Club, Omphalos"
"Yes: 4, No: 8"
Four votes?
How could there be only four?
Professor Cha, Seojin, me, Yeseo...
Everyone except us?
How could this be?
I announce that Omphalos...
...is now officially disbanded.
Let's give...
...a round of applause to Professor Cha for his hard work.
Cheers.
Awesome. Fricking awesome.
Nine to four. A landslide win.
It's all thanks to you.
I agree.
You all heard that, right?
Mom, now you're just showing off.
Woojoo, don't you know what Yeseo said?
"I learned that showing off is not a bad thing at all."
"Showing-off means believing you're great."
What are you talking about?
Don't do that, Yebin. She's your sister.
That's what Kang Yeseo...
I mean, that's what my sister said during a reading discussion.
She's probably balling her eyes out right now.
I feel sorry for Yeseo. She loved the book club.
Her mom's probably upset as well.
Yeah.
She probably is.
Gosh, I'm so angry right now.
Seojin, are you going to let her get away with this?
Are you going to let it slide?
It's so unlike you to not say anything to her.
Are you going to let it end like this?
The book club is the pride of Sky Castle.
What about Yeseo? What will you do about her?
Her coordinator already quitted.
How will she react now that the book club's gone?
Do you even care?
The coordinator quitted?
How could Dad do this?
I loved the book club. How could he ruin it?
What's the point of doing my best?
What's the point of working my butt off?
Your dad isn't really fond of Professor Cha.
He doesn't trust Dr. Cha.
What should I do now, Mom?
The book club is no more.
What am I supposed to do now?
Don't worry. I reached out to Coach Kim again.
Really? The Coach will be back?
When? When can she start again?
Soon. I'm sure she'll call me.
When?! When is she coming back?!
I have to get sample questions from her as soon as possible!
Okay, I got it.
I'll ask her to start tomorrow, okay?
Mom...
Gosh. I'm so sorry baby.
My princess is not like Youngjae, right?
Of course I'm not.
I'll never turn out like Youngjae did.
Nothing bad will ever happen, Mom.
Of course. Nothing bad will happen.
"Coach Kim Jooyoung"
"Mr. Jo"
Mr. Jo, how have you been?
I'm calling you because I couldn't get a hold of Coach Kim.
I tried calling her yesterday.
The thing is, ma'am...
...she's actually considering another student.
Another student? What about Yeseo?
I heard that you'll get a full refund.
No, no. I don't want a refund at all.
I want her to coach Yeseo.
Can you please relay my message to her?
Yeseo thinks the coaching will resume starting tomorrow.
I would appreciate your help, Mr. Jo.
Sure, ma'am. I'll deliver the message.
Youngsuk, are you there?
Can you take out the sweets mold?
We have soybean flour, right?
You want to make confectioneries?
Yes, there's also some leftover pine pollen in the freezer.
Oh, persimmons and walnuts too.
Yes, Madam.
Oh, jeez.
Bro, we're as good as dead.
What do we do?
Even Mom voted no.
The old fart will throw a fit again.
Damn it, I hate seeing Mom getting abused.
Come to the study room in 10 minutes.
What now? We're not supposed to study today.
Hey, get up.
We're dead meat if we get any question wrong today.
Damn it! I'm not going!
Hey, hurry up.
-I don't want to go! -Let's go.
-Come on. -Gosh, seriously!
Let go! Goodness.
It's a question from a mid-term exam a year ago...
...at a prestigious school in Gangnam.
It's a challenging question that gave 10 points.
You have four minutes to solve it.
All right, begin.
3 minutes.
3 minutes and 30 seconds.
3 minutes and 55 seconds.
What about Seojoon?
I've told you before.
Your grandfather...
...was a dry cleaner who barely graduated from elementary school.
Even in that environment, I dreamed of becoming president.
Your grandfather spent his entire life washing other people's clothes.
He was right here at the very bottom of the pyramid.
But your dad managed to pass the bar exam with the highest score...
...and became a prosecutor.
And just like that...
...I've climbed up to here.
Assistant chief prosecutor...
...deputy chief prosecutor, and then chief prosecutor.
A congressman.
A party delegate, and then...
...the Blue House.
I wanted to keep climbing all the way to the very top.
But I had to abandon that dream to help my father-in-law.
So...
...I came up with another goal.
Instead of me, I will push my son...
...to here.
I'll push him to the very top.
You don't think I can do it?
I've already laid the groundwork.
If only...
...you can try a little bit harder.
You can climb to the top with ease.
Can you do that, my son?
-Can do you do it or not? -I... I can do it.
Louder!
I can do it.
Of course.
You can do it.
It's for the kids.
When under stress...
...they need to eat colored vegetables.
They're not the only ones who are stressed.
What about me?
I finally understand how the rabbit must've felt...
...when it lost the race to the turtle.
How does it feel to disgrace your own husband? Was it nice?
You're the one who said that we should vote.
Yes, voting is nice. Very nice.
So did you see it as an opportunity...
...to stab me in the back?
To be frank, the book club had a lot of problems.
Sooim wasn't wrong at all.
She wasn't wrong?
Really?
You've attended the club voluntarily for two years...
...so the kids could build good characters.
Yes, that was one of my intentions.
But you just wanted to brag your knowledge of liberal arts.
You just wanted compensation for your inferiority complex...
...because Sky Castle is full of people with wealthy backgrounds.
-Inferiority complex? -All the other dads are sons of doctors.
You feel inferior because your dad was a dry cleaner.
Am I...
...wrong?
Don't ever pressure Seojoon and Kijoon again.
They can't be a solution for your inferiority complex.
And they're not punching bags for you to take your anger out on.
Don't you know?!
How my dream was ruined?
Because of my dad?
Mr. Cha Minhyuk.
You always use my dad as an excuse.
But you're the one who desperately wanted a congressman as your father-in-law.
Because you wanted an easy way to reach the top of the pyramid.
You got yourself overly involved in the election for your own ambition.
And you blame my dad?
Are you...
...done talking?
Yes.
I'm done.
Yeseo's coordinator...
...was fired.
If you really want to put our kids on the top of the pyramid...
...an expert coordinator will be a hundred times better...
...than you coaching them yourself.
Yeseo's coordinator was fired?
"Junam University Hospital"
It's your first surgery here, isn't it?
Oh, yes. You're here.
You're operating on a famous singer when you just got here.
Soon, you could be on TV.
I'm camera-shy.
You on the other hand, look great on camera.
It's not like I enjoy the attention from the press.
I do it for the hospital.
-Who would want to... -I'll go inside now.
I wasn't done talking, you chump.
-Hello, sir. -Hello.
How's the incision?
It's perfect, sir.
What is this?
Are you out of your mind?
Is it coming from the next room?
I think it's coming from Doctor Hwang's operating room.
Go and check what's going on.
Okay, sir.
Do you know what you've done?
I'm sorry.
What's up?
This is driving me crazy.
What is it?
What happened?
-Damn it. -What?
Doctor Kang.
What is it?
An intern got confused with a patient scheduled for back surgery.
And he...
...shaved her head clean.
The hair? Of a singer?
Yes.
He shaved the hair of an idol singer.
Doctor Woo has connections in the press.
Should I ask him to break the news?
Suction.
-Suction. -Suction.
Oh my gosh!
What are you going to do now?
I've asked you to be careful.
It's not brain surgery. Why did you shave her head?
Are you doctors or hairdressers?
This is driving me crazy.
An intern who didn't sleep all night mistook her for another patient.
I sincerely apologize.
This is pissing me off.
It looks so fake!
I'm sorry.
-We're sorry. -We're sorry.
We're sorry.
Isn't that medical malpractice?
Hey, what's the name of that intern?
What he did was hilarious.
He stayed up all night assisting in the ER.
But still, how could he not recognize Chanmi of AOA?
He must've been too flustered. Apparently, he didn't sleep for 36 hours.
Back in my day, I was fine even if I didn't sleep for 48 hours.
But why didn't she say anything when he was shaving her head?
Right.
It seems like idol singers go through a hectic schedule.
She didn't know because she was sound asleep.
So a sleep walking intern shaved a sleeping beauty's hair?
Apparently, that's the whole story.
My goodness.
Hello, sir.
-Hello. -Doctor, you're here.
Come sit down.
I used all of my networks from school and family...
...to spread the word out to the press.
Once they release the articles...
...Chanmi's fans will shower Doctor Hwang with eggs.
With eggs?
That's it?
The egg shower is just the beginning.
The old tortoise will...
...totally lose it and throw a fit.
Hwang Chiyoung will be screwed.
"Much better than orthopedics..."
"...who uses magnifying glasses and drill screw into the bones," huh?
My gosh.
How dare he disrespect orthopedics?
What? Who would say such load of crap?
Who do you think?
"'1,000-year-old tortoise"
Hello?
Yes, come in.
Did you want to see me?
Hello, Doctor Kang.
Have a seat.
Yes, sir.
You've already heard, right?
About the intern shaving that idol singer's hair.
Pardon?
Yes. I've heard about it.
Fortunately, Doctor Hwang explained everything to the family...
...and they understood.
Some wretched backstabbing bastard told everything to the press.
That son of a bitch.
The PR department worked all day to stop the news from spreading.
I need you to do something just in case.
You were in the next operating room.
Make sure that your staffs keep quiet.
Yes, sir. I'll make sure they keep quiet.
You can go.
Yes, sir.
Continue what you were saying.
Keeping people quiet won't be enough.
The real problem is that we're not adhering to the new legislation...
...limiting working hours of medical residents to 80 per week.
Think about what happened.
This was a medical accident that occurred because...
...the intern hadn't slept for 36 hours.
The new legislation?
If we're to follow that...
...the fellows and junior staffs will have to do the interns' jobs.
Who will take care of the extra pay?
What's going on?
It's a huge mess.
-I would appreciate your help. -But...
Please pass it to her. Thank you.
Thank you.
I graduated from Namseok High...
...and got my bachelor's, master and PhD from SNU Law School.
With my background and scholarly conscience on the line...
...there's something that I want to tell you.
If you were to...
...coach my children, I will not interfere in any way.
It wasn't an easy decision for me.
It means that I have trust and respect in you.
If a real professional like you were to coach my kids...
...I'm more than ready to give my full support.
Please.
I understand what you mean. I'll call you.
I will trust you and wait for your call.
Mrs. Han made this herself.
For you.
Dear Coach.
I know it was very careless of me last time.
Like you said...
...their tragedy was a family issue.
I didn't think it through.
I'm sorry.
Can you forgive me and teach Yeseo again starting today?
How did it go? Did she say yes?
I did what I can.
There's nothing I can do if she turns me down.
Look at you, so calm.
Are you that confident?
What a relief.
I was so afraid she'd refuse to the end.
You know how tutors think very highly of themselves.
It depends on the individual. Not all tutors are like that.
Seojin, after Yeseo gets into university...
...you'll let me have the coordinator, right?
I told you.
First, she has to like you and Soohan.
I know that.
I'm asking you to put in a good word for me.
Of course I'll do the best I can.
It's for you of all people.
Thank you, Seojin.
You know you're my role model, right?
How about you buy me a cappuccino then?
Oh, my. How silly of me.
Cappuccino. Cappuccino!
You're going to do an interview?
Yes. I'm trying to write a novel for teenagers.
You're too old for children's books.
Then why not interview me?
Why Yebin?
You don't know about Daechi-dong.
Yebin knows a lot about the neighborhood and offered her help.
She has a busy schedule.
So I'll be seeing her during her dinner break.
It won't take long.
I'll go pick you up afterward.
I'm going to stay late and study.
Don't worry about me and go home after the interview.
Okay. See you at home.
Who said I won't pay?
Have I ever failed to pay the bill over the past three years?
I'll send the money within this week.
I will pay.
Make sure to change my mom's dressing twice a day.
If she gets more bedsores, you guys will be in big trouble
That's it for today.
You have 30 minutes to eat dinner.
Don't be late.
That would be all.
-Wait for me. -Let's go.
Soohan, aren't you coming?
But Ms. Lee is coming today.
That's why we should finish eating in 10 minutes.
You said you'd be my servant.
But still, that's a bit...
Idiot.
Not everyone can run away from home. You need guts to do that.
I'll do it, Yebin.
I said I'll do it.
-I'm sorry. -Sorry.
Wait.
Oh, my.
Excuse me.
Jackpot!
Hey, let's go to the roof.
-Hurry. -Guys, wait!
One, two, three!
Welcome, Coach Kim.
This way.
She will call me.
Just trust me and wait.
I can't wait, I can't!
Yeseo, are you going to keep this up?
How many times have you called me?
I told you that I met with Mr. Jo yesterday.
It's only been one day. Wait until the end of the day...
Just call her now!
My goodness.
Oh my. Mr. Jo!
I was just about to call you.
Yeseo won't stop pressing me.
Here you go, ma'am.
You didn't have to return it so quickly...
Coach Kim would like to know your bank account number.
Where is she now? I have to see her in person.
Actually...
...she's at the Cha's house right now.
What?
You've built a sound proof room.
As you know, nothing's more important than concentration.
I made this room soundproof so that even a thunderstorm won't be heard.
-Mr. Cha. -Yes.
This doesn't seem like education.
It's more like livestock rearing.
Livestock rearing?
Did it ever occur to you that this room could be intimidating to your sons?
The activity of brain cells decreases dramatically when one's under pressure.
The ability to think, apply, understand and be creative...
...can be used most effectively in a free atmosphere.
Did you expect your sons to get better grades in this environment?
You've already installed a soundproofed room.
Ms. Noh.
You should learn how to play the drums.
I really...
...want you to coach my sons.
Please.
I will contact you tomorrow, Mrs. Noh.
Sure. Good bye.
Coach Kim.
I thought we were done, Mrs. Han.
Wait, Coach. I just want five minutes.
No, just one minute.
-Mr. Jo, escort her out. -Yes, ma'am.
Oh, come on. Coach Kim.
Just a second.
-Mrs. Han. -Coach Kim!
What are you doing?
Wait outside.
I sincerely apologize.
I must have lost my mind after reading Youngjae's diary.
They were like family to me for almost 20 years, so I...
I felt as if Myungjoo's tragedy was my own, so...
...I must've lost my head for a moment.
Coach Kim, I'm begging you.
My Yeseo.
Please take my Yeseo back.
I have to send her to SNU Medical School.
I have to make her into a doctor, Coach.
Coach Kim.
I beg you. Please take back Yeseo.
Please, Coach.
So...?
Were you going to make my daughter turn out like Youngjae at all costs?
You asked me.
If I was going to make Yeseo...
...turn out like Youngjae by any means necessary.
I'm sorry.
You also asked me if I was planning to kill you.
And you want to kill me like Myungjoo?
I'm so sorry. I was...
You're not a teacher. You're a murderer.
You accused me of committing murder.
So if that were to happen...
...are you willing to take the risk?
Even if you suffer the same kind of tragedy like Youngjae's family...
...are you willing to accept it?
I asked you if you're willing to take all those risks.
Yes, I will.
I will take all those risks.
Mr. Jo will pick up Yeseo starting this evening.
She'll be coming home late for a while.
She needs to to extra work to catch up.
Thank you, Coach.
"Sky Castle"
Do what you can do.
What I can do?
You have to protect your kids.
Because you're a mom.
We both want our sons to get better grades.
We're just using different methods.
It's not different. You're wrong.
Yeseo likes Woojoo? Are you sure?
They don't care about why I shoplifted.
They don't even care.
She'll lose interest in that game once she goes to university.
Do you really have to do this?
I can do worse.
So my daughters can at least have a life like mine.
