Hello, madam!
You're here, Jung Hwan?
I need to go to the bathroom. Go wait in my room.
He arranged all of it in alphabetical order?
What a freak.
Such a freak.
"Deok Sun's. Three years of bad luck if you touch this".
Look at this. It's practically brand new.
"11665 Sun Woo"
Do you want something to drink?
What are you thinking about?
I'm 100 percent sure now.
What are you talking about?
Sit down. I'll explain everything.
It's okay. Why do I need to listen to other people's love lives?
Bye.
Hey, let's have some dinner before you go!
That's okay.
"Episode 6: The First Snow is Falling"
Is Taek back?
Is he home now?
He did come home, but he stayed up all night,
so he's probably asleep now.
Then, don't make any soup for breakfast tomorrow.
I'm making some delicious shirak soup tonight.
I'll bring some over.
Delicious?
It's fine. Really, it's fine...
Then, I'd only like a little bit of it.
Taek, let's...
"November 1988, Seoul Dobonggu, Ssangmundong"
Hey, the blanket!
There's never any sunlight in this basement room.
Hey, my feet! My feet are still not covered!
It's so cold!
Mum, why isn't there any hot water?
I guess No Eul used it to wash his hair this morning.
Just use the cold water.
I'm not going to do that! I'll freeze to death!
What about dad?
He used the cold water this morning, too.
Jung Hwan! Let's eat!
I'm good. I'm not eating.
Are you going to school?
-Are you not?-I am.
-Aren't you going to be late?-Yes, I am.
I'll be going later.
I know a secret way into school.
Hey, Sung Deok Sun.
Did he confess his feelings to you yet?
He didn't, right?
Hey, are you too precious for him, or something?
I think he's worried that you'll be too shocked.
You're so lucky.
What a sincere guy.
Even so, he'll probably confess before Christmas.
What if he misses his chance?
I think he'll confess soon. I just have a hunch.
If you kiss him, by any chance...
you have to tell us, okay? Got it?
Okay! Of course I will.
Hey, can you get an autograph for me?
What? Why do you need his autograph?
What's so great about being a student council President?
No! Not from your boyfriend.
I want Choi Taek's autograph!
You said Choi Taek lives in your neighbourhood.
You know... the genius Baduk player.
My dad wants his autograph.
Deok Sun, can you introduce him to me?
I'll be really good to him.
No, you can just give me his phone number.
I'll call him.
I don't even see him that often. He's always not at home.
And even when he is, he just plays Baduk all day.
Even so, I bet you'd talk to him.
I'm so jealous!
He doesn't talk much. It's so freaking frustrating.
Apparently, they consider him a God in China.
I heard that they treat him as if he is a god.
The God of Baduk. A god among gods.
A god? More like the King of Idiots.
Seriously...
You only act like this around us, right?
You won't act like this anywhere else, right?
Hey, people respect you like crazy, you know?
There are some people who believe that you're a god.
So, don't do anything in front of other people.
Don't touch anything.
Ask others to do it for you if you don't know how.
-Okay?-Do you think that I'm an idiot?
It won't work.
Here.
You are an idiot, right? Right?
Idiot.
Next up is Baduk News.
The final rounds of the World Baduk Championships
will take place in Shanghai, starting tomorrow.
This is an international competition
joined by only the best players in the world.
Out of the 5 representatives from Korea, 4 of them were eliminated.
The only one left is Choi Taek, 6-dan.
Realistically, it's difficult to expect he him to win.
Is this all that you're bringing?
You're going to be in China for a week, aren't you?
I have a button-up shirt and pants.
-What about my suit jacket?-I packed it.
That's all I need then.
China has three representatives and Japan has two.
And you're the only one representing Korea, so...
You'll probably be on your way home tomorrow
after you lose the first round. Right?
I'm not just saying this to mess around.
There are just some things in this world that aren't possible.
Don't give people false hopes.
Just come back and buy us some pizza.
There's a new spot that opened up in Jongro.
What'll you do if I win?
If you win, you can do whatever you want.
Why are you asking me?
You don't drink or care about women.
What do you do that's actually fun?
Is there something that you want to do?
Besides playing Baduk?
A movie.
Do you want to meet an actor?
I want to see a movie.
You can see a movie if you win, then.
If you win this time, go see a movie.
But first, Taek...
Let's fix your clothes.
I just don't understand it.
How can people lose to you at all?
Seriously.
It's done.
"Shanghai, China"
"Korea's Choi Taek, 6-dan vs China's Luo Xi He, 9-dan"
Just end it today. Finish it here.
It's okay if you lose. There are two more of us.
-I'm sure one of us will win it.-Yes.
I think we'll absolutely win this year.
-Let's do it!-Let's do it...
Sir! Did Taek win?
They haven't started the match yet.
Is there anyone else here?
Sun Woo...
Sir, can you heat up some water for instant noodles, please?
Sun Woo! Let's eat... instant noodles...
Sun Woo and Jung Hwan and Dong Ryong are all here.
Gosh.
The three of you were eating by yourselves?
You should've come sooner!
Couldn't you just call to tell me that you're here?
You're so rude.
Since when do we have to call each other first?
We always come and eat on our own.
And your cheeks are all red, like some country hicks.
Are you Aurora from the movie A Dog of Flanders?
Are you Nello, then? You look like a country bumpkin!
A country bumpkin? Excuse me?
-Hey, Kukudas Cookie!-What did you call me?
Stop it, you country-bumpkin-Kukudas-cookies!
Hey, when are we going to stop being kids?
Deok Sun, your cheeks are red.
It's really red.
See?
It's because I was walking in the cold just now.
It won't last that long!
Geez, you...
Deok Sun, do you want me to make you some instant noodles?
It won't take that long.
No, it's okay. I'm fine with this.
But why does Taek have to play five rounds on his own?
It's because they're consecutive.
Do you think she understands what you're saying?
All of the Korean players lost and he's the only one left
but China has three, while Japan has two.
So, he'll have to win today to keep going.
But I think it'll be hard for Taek this time around.
How can he beat all of them on his own?
He doesn't seem to be in a good state either.
Hey, Dong Ryong. Worry about yourself.
Have you ever seen him play?
And what about you, Nello and Aurora?
He's on a different level than us. The class is different.
You're the idiots from the Forsythia class at Ssangmun Kindergarten. Okay?
Jerk.
Yes?
Yes.
The wind is so strong outside.
You're so warm. How nice.
Go away...
But I'm so cold.
My body and heart are so cold lately.
"On this starry night..."
Hello, everyone.
I'm Lee Moon Sae from the Starry Night.
It's getting very windy outside.
If you're with someone you love right now,
why not use the harsh winds as an excuse
to gently lean on them?
Into the embrace of your loved one,
which is warmer than anything else.
I'm sure they'll hold you tight.
Oh, yes. Jung Hwan.
Jung Bong's college exams are around the corner, right?
Are his studies going well?
Do you know what my brother's favourite number is?
-What?-Lucky seven.
I think he's going to make a mistake.
He's busy writing postcards lately.
What postcards? To whom?
This is today's first story.
Hello, Mr. Moon Sae.
I'm Kim Jung Bong from Ssangmundong.
I've been listening to Starry Night for about three years.
And I'm a student who's going to retake the college exams.
Your voice and the great songs you play
are a great source of comfort and strength to me,
someone who is worn out from studying.
If I make it into college this time,
it'll all be thanks to Starry Night.
Mr. Moon Sae.
Why does he call him 'mister' even though Jung Bong looks older?
I send postcards to them all the time.
I wonder why they never read mine.
Be quiet, let's listen.
I'm sure it's hard for you to believe,
but do you know who lives on my block?
It's the genius Baduk player, Choi Taek!
Choi Taek, 6-dan and I are quite close.
But Mr. Moon Sae, Taek is having a difficult time
because he's competing in a huge competition.
He'll have his first match in Shanghai, China
and his opponents all have an IQ of 160!
My IQ is lower than 90.
Jung Bong, it seems that
you've revealed your IQ to the entire country.
Mr. Moon Sae, please cheer on for Taek
so that he can beat his brainy opponents.
Since China is such a big country, I'm sure he'll need a lot of support.
Honestly, I'm a Buddhist,
but I'll be praying for his success.
But, what do we do, Mr. Kim Jung Bong?
We get at least 50 postcards from people who say
that they live on the same block as Choi Taek.
So next time, include a photo of you with Choi Taek.
We need to verify it first.
Even so, you'll be receiving a gift from us.
We are giving out the third price,
the famous Cabbage Patch Kids to Mr. Kim Jung Bong.
We'd love to have Choi Taek on our show sometime.
That'd be nice, right?
We also have some news that just came in.
Choi Taek, 6-dan,
defeated that IQ-of-160 Chinese player!
Let's give him a round of applause!
That's so amazing!
For Choi Taek 6-dan,
who was victorious in a lonely battle,
we wish that today will be a special day to him.
We'll play One Day's...
On That Kind of Day!
Let's listen to On That Kind of Day!
Hey, give me some of the blanket!
Give some for Deok Sun to cover too.
Okay...
Keep still.
Stay still!
-I'm off.-Okay, bye.
See you tomorrow.
How many more people does Taek have to play against now?
Four. Two from China, and two from Japan.
But all of them are really skilled.
Oh my God. Do you think Taek can win?
I don't know. He has to keep it up.
It'd be nice if he won though, right?
Yes. If he wins, we'll get pizza.
Yes, he said he's going to buy us pizza, right?
It must be delicious.
The second round of the 6th International
Baduk Championships will start soon.
Choi Taek, 6-dan's opponent today is
Japan's Jang Shuei, 9-dan.
He is a skilled Japanese player who has won over 1,400 matches.
Japan stated that Korea would lose today for sure.
Hi!
How many more does he have to beat, now?
Four.
Still four more left to go?
That'll be difficult.
At any rate, if...
Taek defeats both China and Japan,
you can't settle for chicken this time.
You know... That thing...
Maotai or Mueitai, or whatever...
That really expensive Chinese liquor.
You have to buy that for us, all right?
Okay.
But I think it'll be difficult for him this time.
He has matches every day, so it'll be hard on his health.
And on top of that, he's in a slump lately.
I don't think it'll be possible for him to win.
Also, the remaining Chinese and Japanese players
are really good, so...
Yes. That's why I said, 'If'!
If he wins...
I guess it's Maota or something. You know what it is, right?
Are you reluctant to buy us the liquor?
No, not at all!
It's just that...
He doesn't even get one day off in between matches
and my Taek wasn't in such a good state
before the championship,
so his mental state isn't that great.
So, whether or not he wins, it all depends on
how he overcomes these burdens.
"Second Match, Korea's Choi Taek, 6-dan vs Japan's Jang Shuei, 9-dan"
So, this is how you play in this situation.
So, this is how you play.
Taek is amazing.
Should I make him my son-in-law?
My daughter... daughter!
Seriously? Shall I try and seduce him, then?
Yes! Go ahead and do that!
I'm sure he has no eye for women,
since all he knows is Baduk anyway.
What? What's wrong with me?
I'm not that bad, though.
What is this? Where did you get this car?
It belongs to my upperclassman.
They're going away for a while,
so I'm using it for a few months.
Oh dear...
That's dangerous!
You've never driven before since you got your license!
It's fine! I just need to take it easy.
What's with that jacket?
I saved up my allowances and bought it.
So, don't you pay any mind to it.
I'm wearing that jacket tomorrow.
I'm going to wear your dress then.
The white, knee-length dress.
Sure.
It's cold. Let's go home. I'll make hand-torn noodle soup.
Get in! We'll go home by car.
No. We're almost home anyway!
It's cold! Hurry up and get in!
No, it's just right in front, that's fine...
-Just get in.-No.
Get in! It's cold!
-Hurry up and get in!- But, I...
Hurry up and get in, mum!
We have some great news from Shanghai, China.
Choi Taek, 6-dan,
defeated Jang Shuei, 9-dan of Japan in 245 moves.
Choi Taek, 6-dan now has three matches left.
Korea is regaining its lost hope
in potentially winning it all.
Son! I've made some Castella. Come out and have some.
It's okay. I don't want any.
Okay. Continue studying, then.
What? He said he doesn't want any?
Jung Bong...
He's busy studying! Don't bother him!
Jung Bong! Have some Castella.
No, thank you. I don't want any.
I don't have much time.
What did I tell you?
I told you not to bother him.
He might really have a shot this time.
His level of concentration is totally different now.
He's a human too, so he couldn't fail again.
Here. I'll give it to you.
Stop it. I'm serious.
Okay, I won't.
How could you be so dumb and fall for that again?
Okay. For real, this time. I won't do that again.
Really. Okay?
The first song on Starry Night tonight
is a song that many of you have requested.
Kim Hee Ae's Don't Forget Me.
I was thinking of reading another one of Ssangmundong's
Kim Jung Bong's postcards.
I guess he's unemployed.
He sends postcards so often.
No. He said he was studying for a college entrance exam.
Maybe he gave up on them, or maybe he's totally prepared for them.
It's one of those two.
Mr. Moon Sae, I'd like to introduce another star from Ssangmundong.
I'm going insane.
It must be a place where Dooly is living,
that's why there're a lot of stars, right?
The star I want to introduce today is
Sung Bo Ra, who lives downstairs.
Bo Ra is the smartest person in our neighbourhood.
She always has the highest grades in school
and made it to the 80th percentile in the entire nation.
She attends Seoul University in Math Education.
She's a genius among geniuses.
Adults look at Ms. Sung
and say that she's off-putting and scary
and that she makes them want to piss their pants.
But the Sung Bo Ra that I know
is just someone with a rough exterior.
She has a heart of gold.
Bo Ra, are you out of your mind?
If dad catches you, you're dead!
Whatever. What do you want?
Our great-aunt passed away. We have to go now.
Really?
Okay.
Bo Ra. We can just take the bus, you know.
None of the buses are running anymore.
Which one was it again?
Bo Ra, we'll take a taxi then.
This is hard for you, right?
We're not that rich. We don't have money for that.
Let's just go.
Darn, this car...
Hey, you have to turn off the side lights.
-Bo Ra! Look forward!-Bo Ra! Forward!
I am looking forward!
-It's a puppy!-I told you, I am looking forward!
I think we hit something.
-Should I go take a look?-No! Don't leave the car!
It'll only take a second!
Don't leave the car! Don't move!
I think we hit a puppy or something. We have to go out and take a look!
-We can't just sit here!-I told you, don't leave!
Then hurry up and let's go! What if another car comes up behind us?
No! I'm not moving!
What if it just makes it even worse?
Honey, get out of the car and see what it is!
Don't leave the car!
Don't leave! Nobody move!
Just go! A car is coming!
I told you, I'm not budging!
I'm not moving! No!
Gosh!
Turn it off!
You have to go out and check out the situation!
No! You can't go out, no matter what!
If you do, you'll see what happens!
Bo Ra, I think it's fine for us to go slowly.
Are you crazy? What if it's a dead dog?
We can't just leave it here!
At this rate, we're going to spend the whole night here!
Don't be so immature.
Your temper is getting worse.
What the heck did I do?
"One day..."
"He'll come back to my side..."
-Turn that off!-You jerk! Did anyone die?
Keep it together! We're going to spend the night here.
"You made my heart flutter"
"One day"
"Love stayed in our hearts"
"and whispered to us everyday"
"Holding your hand"
Did something happen? You're dancing so happily.
-Taek won again.-Really?
Taek said he'll buy us pizza if he wins again.
But there are still three more players left.
Yes, the China players.
The King of Baduk in Korea...
What are you doing?
The King of Baduk in Korea!
Hey, stop it!
"The Third Match"
"Korea's Choi Taek, 6-dan vs China's Wang Lei, 9-dan"
The match will now begin.
Mum, did you see my jacket?
Your sister has it. She said she has an athletic competition today.
Really? Then I'm going to wear her dress.
Go ahead. You two made a promise, didn't you?
But, can you wear that, in this weather?
It's okay! I just need to wear a coat over it.
"Gypsy... gypsy lady".
Sung Bo Ra, that crazy wench!
I'm going to kill her!
Move! That's mine, mine...
Come on.
Move, move! It's mine!
Go away!
-I bought this bag today.-It looks awesome.
-Is it?-Do you want to exchange?
You're talking nonsense.
Students.
Let's chat for a second.
This was expensive, man.
Who are you?
The two of you made two mistakes.
First, you two students were smoking.
Second, you threw your cigarette butts on the floor.
Okay?
Hey, sir. Just go.
You've just made a third mistake.
I'm not a 'sir'.
I told you to leave, sir!
I told you, I'm not a sir.
Gosh.
You little...
What are you staring at, kids?
-Who are you?-Who do you think I am?
The Harbinger of Justice.
Hey, you're from Ssangmun High, right?
Want me to get the dean?
He lives right around here!
No, madam...
You troublemakers.
A student who smokes 88 Gold? And not even the Evergreens?
I'm sorry, madam.
You.
US handmade goods?
Do you know how great Korean-made goods are nowadays?
Now, repeat after me.
Let's use Korean-made products!
Let's use...
-Louder!-Yes...
Let's use Korean-made products!
Let's use Korean-made products...
Let's quit smoking!
Let's quit smoking...
We are the nation's hope!
We are the nation's...
We are the nation's hope!
We are the nation's hope...
We will free the country!
We will free the country...
Free the unjustly imprisoned protesters!
Free the unjustly imprisoned protesters...
Stop raising the tuition!
Stop raising...
The tuition...
No detention for political corruption? It's ridiculous!
A miracle is happening at the championships in Shanghai, China.
The only player left representing Korea, Choi Taek,
defeated China's Wang Lei, 9-dan,
and Japan's Wang Li Man, 9-dan consecutively.
It's his last match today, going against China's Wang Shi, 6-dan.
I'm off.
Why don't you just live here if you're going to come by every day?
I'm not here to see you.
Is Jung Bong up?
Why?
I always send postcards to Starry Night,
but they only pick his.
I want to borrow some postcards from Jung Bong.
Your big brother hasn't been studying lately, right?
Did he ever?
I'm off.
Bonghwangdang!
There's only one guy left now, right?
Yes. If he wins today, he'll be the champion.
Taek is really something.
He defeated five players on his own!
Then, maybe after Taek comes back, we could have a party
or have some drinks.
There's still one game left.
He has to win today to be the champion.
Stop spouting all this nonsense.
Isn't the last Chinese guy a newbie?
The news stated that
Taek must be able to win unconditionally.
It's not so simple when it comes to Baduk.
What do you mean? Our Taek is no ordinary kid.
All the great Baduk players in the world were beaten by Taek!
So, there's no way that
some greenhorn would have a chance against him!
Taek has a curse.
What do you mean?
As you know, he's a quiet kid.
He's not that good with strangers.
Yes, that's true.
He's wary of strangers when it comes to Baduk, too.
You can say that he's mentally weak.
Whenever he faces someone for the first time, he crumbles.
Sir! Did Sun Woo pass by?
Yes, just now.
You need to greet people properly!
Goodbye!
If he's really unlucky, he could lose then.
No matter what,
we've always been supporting him,
-so let's have a drink.-Okay.
Good luck!
"Today at 6pm Last Match of the Championships"
"Will Choi Taek bring victory for Korea?"
"The Fifth Match"
"Korea's Choi Taek, 6-dan vs. China's Wang Shi, 6-dan"
Sir. Why isn't Choi Taek here yet?
Did something happen?
Choi Taek is always on time.
He gets lost in his thought,
and comes right when the match is supposed to begin.
He's here.
He looks like he's about to pass out.
I guess he didn't get any sleep.
Reporter Shin.
He's had five consecutive matches!
Even during nationals, the players get at least one day off.
The fact that he's even able to sit there is an incredible feat.
Even if he loses today,
make sure you write a nice article about him.
There's no way that he'll lose!
Everyone says that,
that's why Taek can't even sleep at night.
Choi Taek will be playing with the black stones.
But isn't his record better when he plays with the white stones?
Shut your mouth!
We will now begin the match.
We'd like all the reporters to leave in 10 minutes.
Sir, have you heard anything?
Did you get a call?
-No, not yet.-Okay.
What happened to Taek?
Did he win?
What? Did he lose?
The match isn't over yet. I'm waiting for his call.
Sir, how about Taek? Did he win?
No, not yet.
You haven't heard from Taek yet?
We don't know yet.
The match isn't over yet, and I haven't gotten a call.
Go home and wait.
He still hasn't called?
No, not yet.
"Returned to Sender"
Did she put a donation sticker instead a stamp?
"Hello, Mr. Moon Sae!"
"I'm Sunny from Ssangmundong".
"Please don't reveal my name".
"I have a crush on someone".
"Not only that, I've fallen in love with a childhood friend".
"Whenever I see him, my mood brightens".
"And even when I'm eating or studying",
"all I can think about is him".
"Mr. Moon Sae. This is love, right?"
"The name of the person I like is SW".
"Even his name is cool, right?"
"But his looks are even more charismatic than his name".
"Lastly, I want to say something to SW".
"SW! Thank you for liking me".
"I like you too!"
Jung Hwan!
The match is over.
I just received a call.
How was the match today?
I couldn't win. He's a really good player.
You've worked hard.
Hey!
What happened? Did he win?
Did he win, or did he lose?
I'm sure the results must have been announced by now!
Tell us!
Didn't Jung Hwan tell you about it?
No. He just went straight to his room.
Stop beating around the bush and tell us!
I'm going to get mad!
He won.
I told you, didn't I? I told you that Taek would win!
Korea, hooray!
On a day like this, it's impossible not have these!
What are you going to do now?
There aren't any competitions coming up soon.
Don't you have any plans?
I do.
An unbelievable phenomenon has occurred
at the International Baduk Championships.
Korea's very own Choi Taek, 6-dan has beaten the odds
and won five straight matches to win the championship.
We were the winner of last year's championship too.
I knew Taek was good,
but I didn't know that he was this good.
It's just us.
Apparently, they treat him better
than the President himself everywhere else.
Really?
Deok Sun, eat some sweet potatoes.
Aren't you always saying that you wanted to eat this?
I'm sure she shoved something else down her head.
How can you say that about your sister?
Why don't you just say 'ate'?
Deok Sun.
Eat some sweet potatoes before they get cold.
I don't want to! I can't get full on something like that.
He should've called by now.
Choi Taek, 6-dan, was suffering
through a slump prior to the championship.
However, he proved his world-class skill set to the nation once again
by winning five consecutive games
and becoming the reigning champion.
Choi Taek wasn't affected by the doubt surrounding him
and achieved his victory impressively.
It's hard to believe that a 18-year-old boy
was able to give a full play in such a big competition...
Jung Hwan. Eat some sweet potatoes.
It's okay.
Taek isn't home yet?
Eat some rice cakes! Aren't you hungry?
You go ahead. I'm good.
Your head's going to roll off while you wait.
Hello? Are you back?
Okay.
Mum, I'm off!
Hello? Okay!
I'm sure Taek is tired! Come home soon, okay?
Taek, are you at home?
Okay! I'm coming!
Watch your step!
You're going to trip like that.
You're all here?
I came as quickly as I could,
but I stopped by at the club...
Hurry over.
Then... I'm eating this one.
Why? Are you out of your mind?
Do you have a death wish?
What? But you said that you didn't have any appetite.
I'm taking it home.
Hey, let's play rock-paper-scissors for it!
I confessed to the girl that works at the study room,
and got rejected.
I'm so pitiful.
I live in a half-basement.
He lived in a one-bedroom house until 3 years ago.
My older sister is Sung Bo Ra.
His older brother is Kim Jung Bong.
What? I like my older brother.
I'll be eating this one then.
No... wait. Do you want to chime in?
Something pitiful about myself?
You better not bring up your dad.
And you better not bring up your mum. That's cheating.
You punks...
I have someone that I like.
But I'm unable to confess my feelings for 2 years now.
I was just kidding. What's up with this mood shift?
Fine. You eat it.
Yes, go ahead.
It's true, though.
What's up with this gloomy mood?
I don't know what to do.
Confess.
I said, confess!
Do it on the day the first snow falls.
Confess on the day of the first snowfall! Okay?
Taek is really something.
Taek's father, you must be full
even though you're not eating.
Yes, I feel good today.
That's why I'm saying this...
Do you want to trade my three kids for Taek?
Three-for-one trade.
Come to think of it, you're not really losing out.
It's so hard to raise daughters!
That's right! Raising a daughter like Bo Ra is difficult!
I can't even look her in the face, she's so scary.
Geez.
Where's Jin Joo? I don't see her around.
I sent her to her grandmother's house.
Tae Soo said he was going, so I had her tag along.
I bet she's not crying and doing well there.
Of course! She loves my mum!
She gets to eat all the things that she likes
and, so do I.
What the... We're already out of liquor!
Geez. Yes...
There's no way that it would be enough for us,
since there's so many people to share it with.
-I'll go buy some.-No...
We have some plum wine at home.
Honey, call home and ask Bo Ra to bring it in.
Can we ask No Eul instead?
No Eul went to a sleepover at his friend's house
and Deok Sun is hanging out at Taek's.
What are you doing? Hurry up and call her.
Why are you asking me to bring that?
No! I'm getting ready to go to my senior's place!
I told you that I'll be sleeping there!
No, I mean... Just bring it here on your way out.
You'd be here after you take four steps out the door.
Geez, that girl.
She was so loud, I thought she'd pop out of the phone.
Just wait. She'll come anyway.
Really?
Do you want to bet on it? Whether she'll come or not?
She'll come! Just wait!
Even though she talks like that, she actually has a warm heart.
If her heart was any warmer, we'd all burn to death.
See? I told you she'd come.
Bo Ra, come and put it here.
Where's the bathroom?
Bathroom? This way.
Who could that be, at this hour? Gosh, my back.
When did this happen?
What did the people at the hospital say?
Even so, you have to stay by her side all night.
Her fever could just suddenly go up.
I'll take the first bus down there tomorrow morning.
Okay.
Is Jin Joo sick?
Yes. My mum said that her fever went up to 40 degrees.
What about the hospital?
They went there and she got better after that, but...
I didn't even know she was sick
and here I was, getting drunk.
Don't you have to go down there?
Let's go. I'll give you a ride down there.
Sit down!
You can't drink and drive!
I bet the trains stopped running by now, too.
Just take the first train down there tomorrow.
She'll be fine.
They said they went to the hospital, so I'm sure she'll be fine.
Don't worry! All kids get sick when they're growing up.
Goodbye.
About this senior... it's a girl, right?
Geez, she's an adult now! Stop interrogating her.
Who cares if it's a guy or a girl?
I don't know where the heck she's off to all the time.
Don't worry about Bo Ra. She'll take care of herself.
She's the smart one, after all.
If she were any smarter, she'd be bossing us around.
"Bonghwangdang"
Taek!
Good night! I'm off to bed!
Yes! Good night!
Good night, sir...
Sun Woo.
What?
Switch spots with me.
No! I want to sleep next to Taek.
He's so nice and warm.
He's the perfect person to cuddle with.
That's not it.
This jerk farted again.
Why do you keep doing that?
It smells! Gosh! What did you eat?
Why do you always do this?
She's not asking for me?
She could be indigested,
so don't give her anything to eat in the evening.
Okay.
Okay. I'll go first thing in the morning.
What is it? Did Jin Joo wake up?
I can just go tomorrow, you know.
You probably won't be able to sleep all night.
We'd just be partying all night if I go there.
Get in.
Hurry up and get in!
It's cold!
Okay...
Would you like to listen to some music?
Can we?
I'll turn it on. Just focus on your driving.
It's a song you like, right?
"Even in bitter, stinging winds..."
"Even in the face of bitter oppression"
"Even so, we gathered together!"
"We stood face-to-face!"
Fight!
"Love, eternal love..."
"My unchanging comrade!"
"Love, eternal love..."
"You are my comrade!"
Fight!
Bong. Call dad and tell him to come eat dinner.
Yes.
He wants to know what we'll be having as side dishes for dinner.
Meat.
She says meat, Dad.
What kind of meat? Beef? Pork?
Beef... I bought beef! Hurry up and come home!
Now, for the weather forecast.
It seems that today, the first Wednesday of November
is going to be the first day of snow this year.
We are predicting that there will be a heavy snowfall.
Everyone should be careful while driving...
I'm back from school!
Hurry and get washed up for dinner.
I'm home.
Are you home, my son? Hurry and get washed up.
I bought beef today.
You haven't been eating lately.
No, thank you. My stomach doesn't feel good.
I'll go wash up.
All right, shall we read some stories, then?
Yes!
It may be because Christmas is coming up,
but we're getting a lot of love-related ones lately.
This is the first one.
I'm Lee Ji Eun, from Myunmokdong.
Deok Sun! I'm going to the store for a bit!
-Okay!-For me,
the winter of 1988 is very cold.
It really looks like it'll snow.
Jung Hwan! Snow...
It might snow tonight.
If it does, wake me up.
I really want to see the first snowfall of the year.
Geez. Please, just read mine. Just once!
Deok Sun!
Sung Deok Sun!
It's that you, Sun Woo?
Come in.
No, that's all right.
What is it?
-Is Bo Ra here?-Who? Sung Bo Ra?
She's not here.
Why are you looking for her?
It's snowing.
Sun Woo, just a moment.
I'll bring it quickly.
Bo Ra!
Sun Woo. Did you come here to borrow something again?
Just some pencil leads.
"Carino mio, somos dos y tu y yo pajaro y la flor"
"y tu y yo lanzamos el amor"
"y tu y yo directo al corazon"
"al corazon eres carino mio"
"My lovable dearest"
What are you looking at?
Did you come to watch over me?
No. I just wanted to know if you were okay.
Sun Woo.
Here it is. The sewing kit you wanted.
That's mine.
Do you think she'd have a sewing kit?
Borrow it from the right person next time.
You're such a frustrating kid.
How did you manage to become the student council President?
Stop right there.
Why? Of all people, why must it be Sung Bo Ra?
Why her?
Because I like her.
Which part of her? Which part of her do you like?
-She's pretty.-Seriously?
-And she's smart.-Oh my God.
And she's kind too.
You crazy jerk.
Even the mole next to her eye is pretty.
I was the one who made it!
I stabbed her at that spot with a pencil lead once!
Oh my God! Why does it have to be her?
I'm asking you, why does it have to be her?
I'm never seeing you again.
How could you not eat?
Are you really not hungry?
Do you want me to make you noodles, or something?
Yes, please. Noodles.
Noodles.
This is the last story for today.
Honestly, we've been waiting for this day
to be able to read this.
The first snowfall of the year.
I'm sure those of you who listen to Starry Night
really wants to see a loved one on a day like this.
But I bet that the person who sent this
feels that way more than anyone.
Sunny from Ssangmundong sent us this one.
Hello, Mr. Moon Sae!
I'm Sunny from Ssangmundong. I have a crush.
I have a crush on someone living in my neighbourhood.
And that guy likes me, too.
But he hasn't confessed yet.
Since he's such a shy guy,
he doesn't seem to be able to muster the courage.
Mr. Moon Sae, my wish is
for him to confess his love on the day the first snow falls.
So, please read my postcard on the day the first snow falls, okay?
Even if he doesn't confess on that day,
since this will be broadcasted all over the country,
it will console me a bit.
Of course, if he confesses
and my postcard is read, that would be even better!
Mr. Moon, please pray with me that my first love works out.
I'll put all my faith in you!
That's a lot of pressure.
It's nice that you believe in me, but...
I think a lot of people
feels the same way as Ssangmundong Sunny.
Ssangmundong Sunny, you do know that it's snowing now, right?
Did you get the confession? I'm really curious.
I wonder what it feels like to receive a confession
on the first snowfall of the year.
I bet she'd be the happiest person on the planet.
That's what I think.
Just like that beautiful first snowfall outside,
I hope that all of you will nurture a beautiful love.
Listeners of Starry Night, do you know this?
They say that the chances of your confession succeeding
is more than 90 percent on the first snowfall of the year.
Is it because of the romantic atmosphere it creates?
If you have feelings for someone right now,
and you're wondering whether you should confess,
tonight's your chance.
Muster up your courage and confess.
Bo Ra!
But, although there's over a 90 percent chance of success,
the remaining 10 percent...
has you relying on sheer luck.
You'll have to leave it to luck.
Yes. Cheer up.
Where have you been?
I had to go to the countryside for a bit.
Dressed like this?
Speaking of which, I feel so cold, I feel like I could just die.
Why? What's the matter?
What are you doing here?
I was waiting for you.
For me?
Why?
I have something to tell you.
Go ahead, then.
-I'm really going to say it.-Sure. Go ahead.
I like you.
I said, I like you.
I hope that everyone who confesses today
will finally know what true love feels like.
And, by any chance, if there is anyone
who is still waiting for someone to confess to them,
or if you're suffering from love-related pains,
don't be too sad.
Someone else may be in love with you, right now.
Hello?
Why are you calling at this hour?
Hold on.
Deok Sun, pick up the phone!
And they might just confess to you
that they've liked you for a long time,
even though you were totally unaware of it.
Hello?
Okay, this is the last song for tonight.
It suits tonight's atmosphere so well.
Lee Jung Suk's The First Snow is Falling.
It's me, Taek.
Why are you calling so late at night?
Did something happen?
No, nothing like that.
Go home. Go home and sleep.
It's almost midnight.
Okay.
Deok Sun.
Yes, what is it?
Shall we go see a movie?
Let's go see a movie. The two of us.
"November 2015"
Bo Ra! Seriously?
Hey, just let me off the hook.
I can't smoke at home.
I can only smoke here.
Go smoke outside, then.
Out on the porch.
You punk...
It's your phone.
-It's your husband.-Give it to me.
It's a video call.
Oh my! Wait...
Sorry...
Honey! Why are you calling so late?
I'm at Deok Sun's. See?
Deok Sun! It's snowing!
You're right.
-Honey!-My brother-in-law is here too.
It's snowing! Hurry over!
Make sure you come too, honey. I miss you!
The thing I remember most when you say 'first snow'?
When you got rejected by Sun Woo?
In 1988?
She was writing so many postcards to Starry Night.
She put on quite a show.
How did you know that?
Did I tell you, by any chance?
I know all about you.
That's why you need to be good to me.
It's because it's me that I'm so accepting of all this.
Where else would you find a husband like me?
Don't be ridiculous.
Do you want to talk about all the people you dated before we got married?
We could spend all night doing that!
Hey, but in 1988...
that was when they organised the singing contest, right?
Was that at the gymnasium?
And who did you take to that contest?
No, we went there with everyone else!
I saw it on TV at home!
No, we went and saw it.
Who won the award that year, again?
Jeon Yoo Na's That Thing Called Love?
That was in 1989!
In 1988, it was Endless Orbit's To You!
No. It was Jeon Yoo Na.
I told you, it was the Endless Orbit!
Should we bet on it?
Everyone puts in 1,000 won, and the winner takes all.
"Starry Night, Lee Moon Sae. Thanks for joining us".
Merry Christmas in advance.
I'll see you on Christmas Eve, okay?
Then, this year, the gift for the kids in this neighbourhood will be...
There's no Santa.
That's great...
Hurry up and apologise!
Why do I need to apologise over something like that?
I'll just throw it. I'll just throw it.
It's Christmas, but what's with the mood today?
-Something big happened!-What is it?
Bruce...
Don't tell anyone what happened today.
Got it?
-I have something to tell you.-Tell me?
What? What is it now?
Gosh!
Let's do the Secret Santa!
I got you, Jung Bong.
You're my Secret Santa, right?
I don't even have a Secret Santa.
I don't deserve to be loved.
Then, I guess I'll see you on Christmas.
Don't fall asleep.
