(Episode 1)
Hello, viewers.
I'm the newscaster of Loss Time Life,
Oh Jung Yeon.
I'm the commentator, Kim Won Hyo. It's nice to meet you.
Won Hyo, for the viewers who are not familiar with it,
please explain to them what loss time is.
Yes.
In a soccer game, aside from the regular time,
there's a period called the loss time.
In the same sense, the participant is given...
the time that he had wasted in his life...
- to make up for his mistakes. - That's right.
The participant's name is Kim Yoo Geon.
He's 18 years old. He's quite young.
It looks like he's not aware of the situation he's going through.
Yes, let's watch...
Kim Yoo Geon's records and discuss it.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
- Seven. - He's looking at us.
- Eight. - My gosh.
Nine.
Ten.
- 11. - Hello.
12.
- No! - No!
- Please! - Please let us in!
- Please! - We were only a bit late.
You cute little students.
You just had to be late on a Monday morning.
Now...
go and do ten laps around the schoolyard.
Let's go!
- But my legs hurt. - You punks.
Be quiet.
Wait.
I'm missing one person.
Okay.
Good.
My goodness.
What is this?
Who dumped trash here?
It's nasty.
I'm sorry.
Hey, you're...
Are you late too?
When you see your teacher,
have some manners and say hello.
I'll let this one go because I'm generous.
Run to the classroom now.
Will you pick up the trash first?
What?
It was my father's birthday gift to me.
Why did you drop something like this on the ground?
Your father has very good taste...
in backpacks.
Yoo Geon.
Tell him I admire him very much, and...
I haven't even finished talking, and he's always that fast.
Hey, run!
Aren't you running?
I'm running. Stop bothering me when it's so early in the morning.
I said run!
I'm going to smash your head!
Mr. Gu, you know what?
You're very weak right now.
You should work out more.
- Good luck. - What did you say?
You must need a proper beating.
Come on, you...
I got you.
(Number of school days)
The number of days you were late...
and the number of absences are still increasing.
You're three penalty points away from punishment.
When you're punished, you'll be expelled...
in no time.
Sir...
He's...
in the judo club to go to the provincial tournament.
The judo club?
Let's check the list.
- I don't see his name. - He was preparing...
to compete in it.
But while trying to build up his basic physical strength,
he was a bit hurt.
Did he submit a written diagnosis?
No, I don't see it either.
Look at him.
You can tell he's very clumsy by his face.
He's not capable of taking care of those.
Am I right?
- You sh... - You what?
You what?
My shoelaces are untied.
That was hilarious.
I'll talk to him about this.
Why don't you just make him do volunteer work this time?
- What about the school's library? - The library?
Where is that?
You darn punk...
My goodness.. Sir..
I'm all right. Come here.
- Hold on. - Where is your neck?
- Where is it? - It's here.
What now?
You should train, my brother.
Train hard yourself.
Good luck, my teacher.
Goodbye.
Do you want to go to the gym or get penalty points?
Oh, shoot.
Come here.
Hey, that guy got into a fight...
with the number one of Suseong High School because of a motorcycle,
and he just threw him.
Why is he acting so tough?
Come here.
You should teach him a lesson.
Attention!
Say hello.
This is Kim Yoo Geon. He's joining the judo club starting today.
Though he came in late, he's not such an easy target.
So help each other out.
Your hearts must be fluttering due to the upcoming preliminaries...
of the provincial tournament.
Your grades won't matter.
Only the competent will advance.
Your past attendance, records, and prizes,
they will all be unknown.
Mr. Gu,
don't you think that's too unfair?
For whose good?
If you're not good enough to beat the odds,
how would you compete in the tournament?
You said it right, captain.
You never say the wrong things.
Do you think it's unfair?
Then win. It's simple.
Why don't you show him what you've got to the new member?
Let's get straight to the point.
Captain, take Yoo Geon and get him a uniform.
Yes.
Don't be too lax.
You could be thrown and kissing the floor in a minute.
Since it's your first time, I'll admit it if you last 15 seconds.
Of course, I can last 15 seconds.
(Ju Dong Ha)
Wait.
Hey,
you're too close.
Judo is a sport of manners.
Be polite.
(Sungam High School)
Bow.
Begin.
Okay.
It'll be 15 seconds soon.
Ippon.
Bow.
Dong Ha, you've done well.
But control your power. You kept going too hard on him.
Yes.
Yoo Geon, you need to focus till the end.
Start coming to practice tomorrow to go to the provincial tournament.
- I'm not doing that. - What?
Then why you did spar with him?
That way, you'll let me go.
That little...
(Under repair)
Received a letter bound With our yesterdays
The road that always followed you Disappeared all of a sudden
Other things also disappeared
Here and there
The stones that played with us When we were young
Are embedded everywhere Hiding their faces
I love you, I love you
In the cold and bright evening sky
Carefully shattered cracks Begins to show
Fine snow blows around
No ground to set their feet down Awakened, trembling
A few flakes endlessly float In the air
This poem is often covered in college admission tests.
It's "A Small Love Song" by Hwang Tong Gyu.
"Received a letter bound with our yesterdays."
What do you think he means...
by "bound with our yesterdays"?
Who would like to answer?
What do you think this is?
I heard AOA is having a concert on the last week of this month.
This is the prize if you answer correctly.
It means he was super annoyed yesterday.
He wrapped a gift yesterday!
It's plausible, but that's not what I want.
Then...
You, latecomer.
Will you answer it since you're already standing?
"Received a letter bound with our yesterdays."
What do you think the phrase, "bound with our yesterdays" means?
There's no correct answer in poems. So feel free to answer how you feel.
What does it mean to be bound with something?
It means it's tied with a string or something.
I see.
Then...
does it mean he tied his yesterdays with a string?
Or...
is the poet a needleworker?
Stop laughing.
Although he sounds unreasonable,
it's much better than not having a thought.
The poet wrote, "bound with our yesterdays,"
to express his pain...
of not being able to go back to the past where his lover was.
We're having a quiz next week.
No!
Remember, the AOA concert ticket is still here.
Can we not take the quiz?
Hey.
Isn't the Korean teacher so pretty?
My heart is palpitating.
I asked the ethics teacher,
and Ms. Yu is only seven years older than us.
She's six years older.
Yes, he's right. She's six years older.
How do you know that?
I'll tell you something crazier.
I saw this on television last night.
There's a couple who are 17 years apart.
That means...
we also have a chance.
So we should appeal to our masculinity,
not as students,
in the first place.
He's right.
That's why I sleep during her class.
It's to prevent her from remembering my face.
And then what?
Then we meet as a man and a woman when I become an adult.
I'll be completely changed.
Don't worry about that. No one remembers you anyway.
What was your name?
See? I already forgot.
Why are you being so mean?
Hey, you weirdos.
Why would Ms. Yoo like nerds like you guys?
What are you doing?
Okay.
Sun Jae, that's enough.
Yoo Geon.
You should also change your attitude.
Come to tomorrow's morning training if you're joining the judo club.
If you're not, shut your mouth and beat it.
Don't spoil our atmosphere.
I'm not doing judo.
Then don't even think about hanging around.
It bothers me.
Ms. Yu.
Thank you for your work in the library.
Right.
Drink it.
Here.
If you ever need a hand...
That's fine. I can handle it on my own.
I also heard I'm having a volunteer.
Yes, you're right. But he won't be that helpful.
I'll help when I have time.
- That's okay. - Don't be burdened.
I think...
I will feel burdened.
Pardon?
I'm stronger than I look.
I used to beat all the boys when I was little.
I was the leader in the neighborhood.
What?
Stop lying. That's nonsense.
You're such a liar.
If you need me,
don't hesitate to call me. I'll always...
be in the gym.
Thank you for your offer.
Sure.
I knew you come late. Get in there now!
You're such a stalker.
You're being too slow!
What kind of nerd studies at school?
(Librarian, Yu So Jin)
Stage one.
1, 2, 3.
I'll borrow this.
It's mine!
Give it back.
No.
Here. Now stop crying.
What's wrong? I want to play with you.
- What's this for? - Well,
here's a taffy for you.
Come in!
(References)
(Magazines)
Are you okay?
You were supposed to start at four o'clock.
Why did you come so late?
I've waited so long.
Grow up, Yoo Geon.
You still...
remember my name.
Why wouldn't I?
If you still remember my name,
why do you ignore me?
Then what about you?
[Kocowa Ver] MBN E01 'Loss Time Life: The Last Chance' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Here. Let's get to work.
(Volunteer Work Confirmation)
Yoo Geon,
I'll take an hour off if you loaf on the job.
My gosh.
You're acting so superior since you've become a teacher.
Yes, I'm a teacher now.
So listen to your teacher.
Still, you've done a good job.
What about you? Aren't you leaving?
No, I have to prepare for my class tomorrow.
You should go first.
(Delivery for Kim Yoo Geon will arrive at 18:00.)
(Delivery for Kim Yoo Geon will arrive at 21:00.)
I have something to tell you
Why do I lack courage?
Mr. Gu Jin Seong.
- You must have a lover. - What?
What are you doing? Hey!
That little brat.
Just don't drop it! Please!
It's so old-fashioned.
Your taste stinks.
What are you talking about?
What's so old-fashioned about me?
No teacher is trendier and more stylish than me.
Do you even know fashion?
This jacket.
You've been wearing it since I was in first grade.
It's blue.
Are you seriously wearing these socks?
It's a mysterious color.
By the way,
is there a restaurant with a good atmosphere nearby?
Tell me whom this ring belongs to first.
If you help me, and it goes well,
then I'll tell you.
There's a new restaurant at the intersection over there.
I heard the atmosphere is amazing.
- What's the name of it? - For free?
I'm not asking you to tell me for free.
I'll buy you...
pork cutlet.
We'll talk later.
Why? Don't you like pork cutlet?
No, I don't like the person.
The person?
The person? We were talking here, where are you going?
Tell me the name of the restaurant before you leave!
Get on.
You're a student. Why are you riding a bike?
Hurry up and get on.
It takes 30 minutes by bus.
This will take you home in 15 minutes.
No, thanks.
Hey!
Hold on tight!
I can't hear you!
I said, hold on tight!
I said I can't hear you!
Ta-da. It took exactly 15 minutes, right?
Yes. Thank you.
Then...
do you also want a ride tomorrow?
- No, thank you. - Why not?
It's a carpool.
No, haven't you heard about the bike-pool?
Right.
Yoo Geon, wait here for a while.
Yes.
Yoo Geon.
Do you want to go to the movies?
Yoo Geon.
Do you want to come in for ramyeon?
Yoo Geon.
Do you want to study?
If you solve these questions,
your score will be increased by 30 points.
I'm not doing that.
Please just try it.
You can ask me at any time if you have any questions.
Any time?
Do you mean it?
- Yes. - It's a deal.
I have some questions right now.
- What are they? - Give me that.
This, this, and this.
I don't know this one either. This one, this one,
this one, and this one.
You...
don't know...
all of them.
Let's check the conditions.
When it's added to the 6th and the 8th members, it's 0.
If you substitute them into a formula,
- the sixth member of A is... - But...
why are you also good at math when you're a Korean teacher?
I'm not good at math.
These are basics.
Who on earth decided these be the basics?
Then why don't you become a scholar...
and publish a textbook that suits...
the students' level?
- No way. - Hey,
why do you think it's impossible?
Yoo Geon,
you can be anything at your age.
I also heard you're very athletic.
Why don't you play judo...
- for real? - Judo?
I'm a genius athlete, and you want me...
to play judo?
It's not even funny.
Everyone knows you were thrown today.
About that,
I just let him win. I was trying to save the captain's face.
Does that make you...
- feel less embarrassed? - Wow.
You don't believe me.
What would you do if I defeat the captain...
and become the starting athlete of our school?
What should we do?
Grant my wish.
Plus,
you have to score over 90 points in the quiz.
Then I'll grant your wish.
That darn quiz.
You're so condescending.
What?
These days,
they say...
that you could be friends if you're six years apart.
So...
once I graduate high school,
we...
I mean...
We should...
What?
Be friends.
What did you say?
We should be friends.
That's what I said.
Why don't you graduate high school first?
Here. The next question is...
Don't think about going home. We have a lot of work to do.
Oh, my!
It was a joke to wake you up.
Wow.
Do you want to check this out?
That's Aquarius.
How do you...
know this?
My father used to show me when we went night fishing.
It's your zodiac sign, Virgo.
It's so pretty.
You're...
much prettier.
What?
I said Virgo looks pretty.
It is.
(Jajang sauce, curry sauce, and braised mackerel)
I'll get this one too.
Here. Take it.
What?
For who?
I do have meal cards.
Your father is very worried.
I heard you often skip the meals he cooked.
Does...
your father come home often these days?
Well, he came two months ago.
He's been going overseas a lot lately.
Even so, don't skip any meals.
And stop eating ramyeon.
Go inside. I'll see you tomorrow.
I'm home.
So Jin.
I love you.
No, don't do this.
What do you mean, no?
We're meant to be together.
No, we can't do this.
Come here.
(Dad)
What?
Aren't you going to say hello to your father?
- Hello? - Yes.
Did you get the deliveries I sent you?
- Yes. - Do you like them?
Yes.
I promise I'll come to Korea next month.
Yes.
Don't you miss your father?
Whatever, I'm busy. Hang up.
Yoo Geon. Yoo Geon!
Hurry up.
Safe!
Did the sun rise in the west?
Good boy!
Let's go.
What is it?
Wait.
Yoo Geon!
Did you pick it up on your way here?
I picked it up because I was worried...
you might die alone.
- Do you like them? - I'm going to beat you up.
This isn't a bribe, is it?
It's not a bribe.
A bribe to start you in the provincial tournament.
(2018 Gyeonggi Province National Youth Judo Tournament)
It is a bribe.
Then I can't accept it.
Take it back.
It's a bribe...
to put me against the ace player in the trials.
Seriously?
You might be beaten up.
That gives me the fighting spirit.
What's going on?
It was just dirty.
Not that.
How come you're not late?
Because I missed you.
What?
Not that.
How come you're not late?
I'm just trying to fill my volunteer hours.
I'll add 30 minutes for you.
Pick this up and follow me.
Ms. Yu.
But...
why aren't you in a relationship?
Why do you ask me that?
Because I want to be in a relationship.
You're too young for that.
Relationship?
I'm not sure how.
When I'm loved,
I'm not sure how I should give it back.
It's too difficult for me.
I haven't actually given thoughts to what love is.
What about your ideal type?
Bring it.
Yoo Geon, I got you...
Yoo Geon.
Wake up.
Fish cake bars.
What type of man would Ms. Yu be into?
Ms. Yu?
I asked her in person.
She's not into gentle and considerate men.
She likes manly guys.
The masculine ones.
You could say...
she likes men with Italian or Mexican style.
Man!
She finds it old-fashioned when a man...
works hard in everything.
Mr. Gu.
About your report on the official document from the Education Office,
you only wrote three sentences, and it lacks sincerity.
Why don't you review it?
Someone who doesn't work too hard while still looking cool,
that's her ideal type.
Why would I work so hard on something like that?
Let's not be so old-fashioned.
Let's stylishly live our lives.
Just handle things roughly.
Has he gone mad?
What about your ideal type?
Someone who's gentle,
considerate,
and who works hard in everything.

Do you want some bread?

What kind of situation is this?
Can't you tell?
That's the cushion of the top student of our school.
Haven't you heard of a proverb that your grades will improve...
if you sit on the cushion of a smart student?
It's a superstition, not a proverb.
Right. A superstition.
But what does that have to do with Yoo Geon?
He's got nothing to do with it.
He doesn't have an adult magazine in it.
- Are you feeling sick? - Hey.
Can't you tell?
He's trying to go to the AOA's concert.
Am I right?
Yes, it's all over your face.
Wow, that is crazy.
Guys,
I think the PE teacher and the Korean teacher are actually dating.
- How does that work? - No way.
Seriously?
Is that true?

What?
I'll show it to you first.
Get him.

Kim Yoo Geon!
Yoo Geon!
Get off of him!
You...
Aren't you going to talk?
I asked how it happened!
I don't know. He suddenly pulled me out,
punched me, and smashed my phone.
There must be a reason.
Ms. Yu, why did they fight?
They couldn't have fought each other without any reason.
I also...
don't know why.
I was...
pulling a prank during Korean class, and...
You still haven't come to reason, have you?
You!
Bring your parents now.
- Shoot. - Shoot?
Shoot?
Hey!
Don't you feel sorry for your parents...
who are working so hard to raise you?
You're shaming your own parents...
by living so recklessly!
How dare you look at me like that?
Ms. Yu.
Bring his school records.
I'm going to call them myself.

just tell him, okay?

Did you finish your letter of apology?
What's the matter with you?
Don't you know you'll be punished...
if you get more penalty points?
Don't bother.
Your father is going through all kinds of hardships...
to help you study and raise you.
Why do you keep going to the bad?
When will you grow up?
I'm not growing up, so stop bothering.
You can't leave like this.
Go back inside and write the letter of apology.
- Come out when you're finished. - I said, don't bother!
How could I not bother?
Why do you bother?
- What? - Why do you bother?
What am I to you?
What do you mean?
You're my student.
You're like my little brother I raised since you were a child.
Why do you keep treating me like a child?
I don't know about anyone else,
but you stop treating me like I'm a child!
How could you speak that way to your teacher?
Ms. Yu.

Yoo Geon, I'm coming to Korea right now.
I'm taking the earliest flight to Korea,
so I'll be there at 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow.
I heard you could be expelled from school.
I'm going to stop it by kneeling down if I have to.
So don't worry, all right?
Yoo Geon.
Are you listening? Yoo Geon!
Your father is going through...
all kinds of hardships...
to help you study and raise you.
When will you grow up?
Why do you keep treating me like a child?

but you stop treating me like I'm a child!
