Yes, I did lie.
But why?
If you keep crashing head-on, you'll end up with bigger problems.
I mean...
why are you asking that team to revise
the questionnaires they composed?
The four of us are composing the questionnaire together.
- Then, of course... - But that's not the reality.
You shouldn't intrude upon their questionnaire,
but Mr. Ji Hae Won and Mr. Ha Soo Hyun...
If I don't say anything, never mind the kids...
Mr. Ji Hae Won would be in a bind.
Even so, should I just stay put?
Yes.
Mr. Do.
Please stay out of it this time.
If you don't want to get an earful again.
Was school always so messed up?
Did you think it'd be the same as when you were a student?
It's humiliating in front of the kids.
At least, the questionnaire should be fair.
No, I'm saying Mr. Ji Hae Won should be handling this issue.
If I don't speak up,
Mr. Ji Hae Won would end up getting framed...
What am I getting framed for?
What is it?
The thing I'm getting framed for.
What is it?
The thing I'm getting framed for.
I have something to say regarding Mr. Ha Soo Hyun's exam questionnaire.
But why would you?
Well, we are working on the same subject.
But you are not my partner, Ms. Ko.
Yes, sir.
- Yes. - Mr. Ha...
Hang on a second.
Please know your place.
Ms. Ko.
Yes, sir.
Yes, I'm on my way.
Actually, he was diligent even as a student.
He's quick. Probably because he's
been here a while. And he loves this school.
You should observe him, Mr. Moon.
For the upcoming full-time teacher's exam.
If I don't say anything, never mind the kids...
Mr. Ji Hae Won would be in a bind.
Even so, should I just stay put?

Hey, Mom. I'm on my way home.
What?
Got it. Give me a minute.
Oh, come on...
- She's here. - You're home.
[ Black Dog ]
- Here. Let's have a shot. - Yes.
[ Episode 7 ]
Aigoo, aigoo...
Well, she's doing good at school, right?
She doesn't say anything at home.
Yes. Her dept. head is a great lady, too.
She's a good one.
Oh, really?
- The dept. head likes her, right? - Yes, yes.
I mean, she lacks social skills because
she was a student for too long, but
she's a good girl. She takes after me.
I'll go buy some beer.
Huh? Okay.
I heard there's an opening in the Korean Language Dept. this year.
Does she have any chance?
I'm not sure.
We have a six-year temp teacher...
Huh?
Six...
Six years?
Yes.
Aigoo, really...
- Thank you. - Yes, goodnight.
What do you think?
Do you think you have a shot?
A full-time teacher in a private school.
Education, experience, age.
They're all important.
However,
in a private school setting, there's another
important factor aside from credentials.
Did you and Ms. Ko have a nice talk?
Yes.
Actually, I've been meaning to ask you something.
You're well-liked and have a lot of experience.
So why are you anxious and
think of your colleagues as competitors?
I know.
I'm a low-life.
But were you any different from me, Mr. Do?
Winter, four years ago.
[ Ji Hae Won ]
He's good looking.
He's practically a celeb.
In a private school setting, there's another
important factor aside from credentials.
And what is it?
Whether you can blend into the school well or not.
Private schools favor their long-time temp teachers
for that very reason.
If we hire a bad newbie,
it'll ruin the school environment.
In our society,
this comes to mind when we see a newbie causing a ruckus.
"Wow, that kid is so annoying."
Well, I...
"He/she will always be like that."
There was a situation.
You should've looked for another solution.
You'll risk your neck for something this trivial?
And that person who's dropping weird rumors online.
It's due to a lack of patience.
Even a broken clock strikes it right twice a day.
Do you know who it is?
Hearing those rumors after working for six years,
perhaps greed got to him.

♫ Then I'll feel your warmth ♫
♫ I'll treasure it with me ♫
♫ No matter where I'm hiding ♫
But you are not my partner, Ms. Ko.
Please know your place.
We have the 2:6:2 rule.
If there are ten people, two of them will like me,
six will have no interest in me,
and the remaining two will dislike me.
A law of nature.
♫ I see you standing outside my window ♫
♫ I'll give you my everything ♫
But even though I know of this law,
I'm not at peace with myself
enough to help those who are long-time haters
without compensation, then rest easy.

But why do I have to draw the pictures?

Are you here to see someone?
Oh...
I'm here to see Mr. Soo Hyun.
Regarding the senior class Korean Language exam.
The exam questionnaire?
Is there an issue...
To the head of Administration, huh?
Teachers should be protecting each other.
Ma'am.
What's going on?
Apparently, a temp teacher from our school
is badmouthing our school and the head of Admin. online.
Something about an "insider" hired as a temp or whatever...
What is going on around here?
- Aigoo... - And thanks to that,
a civil complaint was filed to the Educational Dept.
So it was...
a bit of a headache for Vice Principal Lee.
Where are all the teachers?
Aigoo, I just stepped in it. Stepped in it.
But I was being nice.
Anyhow, Mr. Moon already knew about it,
but he was holding back.

[ First Semester of Senior Year, First Phase ] So, why is Ms. Park present...
Even though I work with 10th graders mostly,

I composed a questionnaire to be of assistance.
As you know, I'm very thoughtful and considerate.
Well, what should we do?
She did compose a questionnaire.
But you're in charge of the 10th graders...
Wouldn't it be difficult for you to contribute
to the senior class exams?
Actually...
I don't feel it's necessary, either.
All right, then.
The four of you submit the questionnaire then.
I'll just review them with you.
Review them with us?
That sounds good.
Then we'll work on each other's questionnaires.
If there are any errors,
we'll notify each other.
Who'll edit and compile them this time?
As we've always done. In order of the year.
Okay.

Oh, but...
I've never edited exam questionnaires before. Will it be okay?

You know already. Why do this?
Well...

then how about a half-day?

equal a good life in this day and age.

will reward us fairly in accordance to our efforts?

Oh, Jin Yoo Ra.
Are your studies going well?
Yes. All right, I guess.
Anyway, I had a question for you.
Let's go to my office.
It's about the problem-solving method.
And what are the options?
First, you declare it.
What's up?
Well, I have a favor to ask.
Okay, my hoobae. Do whatever you want.

There's one here already.
Thank you.
Come in.
This one is...
Hey.
- Yoo Ra. - Yes?
You're in Ms. Ko Ha Neul's class, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Then why are you asking Mr. Do
instead of Ms. Ko?
Is there a particular reason?
Mr. Do Yeon Woo is also a Korean Language teacher.
Hey, but that's not right.
It's common courtesy to inquire with...
your own teacher, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Ko, we'll come back next time.
Okay.
There are always kids like that. Don't mind her.
Did you upset her in any way?
Geez, why be like that?
What? It's obvious she's miffed.
If a kid wears on your nerves, it's hard holding a class.
Make sure you control the kids.
Be tough when necessary, and go easy when not.
A student relayed this to you.
Thank you.
Okay, then.
All right. Let's wrap up and
go have lunch together.
Let's go. Let's get going.
Okay.
Thank you for the food.
I didn't prepare much,
but please enjoy your meal.
Eat a lot, my hoobae.
Yes, sir.
Huh? Hoobae?
You two are college alumni?
They're elementary school alumni.
Wow...
The more I think about it, it's really upsetting.
What now?
Take a look.
They want us to write this on their transcripts.
Geez, seriously...
Oh. The thing from earlier...
- It's a self-composed-transcripts. - What's that?
The academies compose the contents,
and they want us to write it as is.
They're treating schools...
like a dump. Ms. Ko, don't ever do it.
And who is this tactless kid?
It's Goo Jae Hyun. He's in my class.
Wait a minute.
That Physics Department...
grade revision incident. Wasn't it his dad?
Yes.
He sent the exam to the Physics Ed. Association,
and screwed us real good.
Aigoo.
The feisty Jin Yoo Ra and papa boy Goo Jae Hyun.
My hoobae.
You're having a hard time.
The grammar covered in the senior year
is an expansion from the lower grade levels.
So it's quite complex. I'm saying it's difficult.
If you approach it conceptually, you can't solve the question.
- Isn't that right? - Yes, sir.
For example, I wrote down three sample questions.
All right, this is related to the letter "L."
But if you look at it, it's similar, yet different.
Which parts are different?

After the bell rings...

What did you want to discuss?
Well, it's regarding the midterm questionnaires.
The one you composed for this midterm.
Why?
- Are there errors? - Actually, no.
No errors, but...
perhaps there are other types of issues?
What do you mean?
I know you saw me.
Mr. Do, please enjoy.
Would you like some?
So why are you treating me here?
You said this is your thing.
Easy going.
I'm sorry.
I didn't think that far ahead.

From a teacher's standpoint, of course, it's offensive.
A student of mine
goes to another teacher with lesson inquiries?
"I do not trust you."
That's what it means.
Oh, and regarding the exam questionnaires.
I wasn't disregarding you that day, Ms. Ko.
It's just that our school vibe is the way it is.
Ahjumma, one order of soondae, please.
Okay.
It's okay, right?
Sure, yes.
But regardless of what happened...
Even if Mr. Ji Hae Won knows about it,
it'll be difficult for him to go to Mr. Ha Soo Hyun and
ask him to revise the exam.
So you're telling me to...
revise my exam questionnaire.
Is that it?
No, I'm not saying to revise the questions themselves...
But that's what you're saying!
Truthfully,
critiquing and requesting revisions
on another teacher's questionnaire
could lead to an intense
power-struggle between the teachers.
But why...
Being critiqued for their exam questionnaires...
It wounds some of the teachers' egos.
And Mr. Ha Soo Hyun is one of them.
Precisely speaking, exam questionnaires are their own assets.
I suppose it's normal that a teacher is sensitive
about his exam questionnaires, but...
You ordered ddukbokki, too?
Yes.
But in Mr. Ji Hae Won's case,
it'll be even more difficult for him to
bring it up to Mr. Ha Soo Hyun.
He's a sunbae who works in the same department,
plus their seniority levels and positions are different.
If there are errors in the questionnaire,
present valid grounds and justifiable reasons...
and tell it to me straight.
Don't do it in this rude manner.
I'm leaving, okay?
Mr. Ji Hae Won.
Organize everything here
and put them over there. Got it?

Grabbing opportunities in life...
isn't about who was here first,
but rather by capabilities.
And who has luck.
Isn't that right?
Nevertheless...
thank you so much for today.
I have something to say.
It's regarding exam questionnaires.
There weren't any errors on the questions themselves,
so I just let it pass, but...
Mr. Soo Hyun composed
the questionnaire based on Icarus lectures.
This could bring up...
the issue of "fairness."
There aren't any errors in the questions.
But after the exam,
it could cause a stir due to
favoring the Icarus students.
[ Exam Questionnaires ]
So the Korean Language Dept.'s exam questionnaires
were revised two days before
- it was sent to print. - What the heck is this?
You teachers...
It was exceptional.
You want us to clean this up?
Do you work alone?
Thanks to that, we heard an earful from all sides...
and had to recompose the questionnaire through the night.
Then we finally finished the questionnaire.
The exam questionnaires are out. To the print room.
My exam questionnaires are out...
Oh, really?
Wow, congrats.
Here, take this.
Of course, the painful work continued on...
Do you normally do this...
- by hand? - Yes.
Ms. Ko, don't just sit there. Count with us.
Okay.
What about Mr. Ha Soo Hyun...
He took a half-day off because he's sick.
Gosh, how annoying.
We suffered so much because of him,
and he jumps ship...
S***, I lost count.

Everyone, pass it back.
[ Midterms Day 1: 12th Grade Korean Language ]
Write down your class number and name on the exam.
[ Exam questions by Kim Yi Boon, Ha Soo Hyun, Ji Hae Won, Ko Ha Neul ]
By chance, do you have any questions?
We made the rounds on this side.
Are there any issues or any questions?
No.
There weren't any.
We wrapped up the 12th grade Korean Language exams,
and my first time proctoring
an exam ended on a good note.
- Thank you. - Here you go.
[ Checking scores on narrative questions & Questions on exams ]
No. 1 to No. 5, come and check your scores and answer sheets.
Yes. ma'am.
Check your scores.
But Ms. Ko, isn't this the same thing?
No, it's not.
So, this is how we wrapped up our midterms.
Did you finish grading
the midterms, too?
Yeah.
You know...
today is Teacher's Day.
The school is closed?
One false move by accepting gifts could be problematic.
So we're off.
Aigoo, wow...
So depressing.
Back in our days,
we'd throw parties for our homeroom teachers on
Teacher's Day and everything.
Geez, move your leg! Aigoo...
Wow, seriously...
It's nice...
having a day off.
I proctor the Special Intensive class today.
The midterms are over now.
For the seniors, finishing midterms doesn't mean anything.
The college entrance exams mark the end.
Yeah.
So, did you ask them?
[ College Entrance Exam Prep: Special Intensive Course Practice Book ]
Was it you?
I thought the book looked misplaced.
Thief.
- Yeah. - How dare you call me a thief?
Hang on.
How dare you curse at me?
Who are you to curse at me?
Say sorry!
You should've just asked to borrow it.
You and your freaking pride.
- Thief. - Hey.
You're crazy! What did you say?
Let go of me.
What did you just say?
What did you just say to me?
What the hell are you doing?
What are you guys going?
So it was them?
Icarus is a complete mess.
You know that?
You crazy punks...
You don't want to go to college?
Huh?
Should I record this in your transcripts?
Seriously, what has Ms. Ko Ha Neul been doing?
It's come down to this.
Aigoo...
Ha Neul.
Well, your phone keeps ringing.
[ 10 missed calls: Kim Yi Boon ]
[ Ms. Kim Yi Boon ]
Someone is contesting our Korean Language exam questionnaire.
It's quite serious.
But I've never seen this type of a rebuttal before.
In actuality, the biggest problem
lays low in the vicinity like a snake.
And when I have my defenses down,
it tries to infiltrate.
This is our narrative answer sheet.
But the kids are saying,
"Sung Soon gathered Park banana and Kim banana
to buy a watermelon."
They're insisting this also works.
Does it even make sense?
You're here.
What are they contesting?
Is it serious?
This thing here...
is complete nonsense.
Who'd contest something like this?
You've got to be kidding me...
Well, this is...
The Icarus kids are behind this.
The smart ones are worse these days.
Geez, I'm so sick of it.
Since it concerns senior class grades, it's serious.
Why don't we hold the entire Korean Language Dept. meeting
to discuss it?
This was the start of the infamous and notorious
Korean Language Department versus the Banana case.
♫ You've come to stay with the stars ♫
♫ Make me feel even without turning away ♫
♫ In your eyes ♫
[ Black Dog ]
What are they contesting about?
The banana is the problem.
Ms. Ko Sky, did you wrap up the banana case?
They're saying it's not a logical answer.
You should let them have this one.
Infringing on teachers' right?
A few kids answering it correctly doesn't make it wrong.
Perhaps the kids are right about this.
If we're to re-grade the exams, it'll be difficult, right?
We may have to issue a written apology.
To the kids, the colleges are at stake here.
Could we commence the Korean Language Dept. meeting again?
