Hye Mi, I have something to tell you.
Meet at the practice room at 6pm?
He really is shameless.
After betraying us, you still dare to call and ask to meet me?
Didn't you say that you would like to perform on the same stage with me?
Really?
I don't remember.
I am seriously going to make you pay for this!
Dad, I don't want to study abroad.
I want to stay and perform on stage to fulfill my dream.
Just wait until we meet.
I'll definitely hit you.
Jin Guk, you are in so much trouble now.
He did this because he wants to protect you
Why can't you try to understand him?
He's not protecting me.
Instead he thinks to hide me because I'm an embarrassment to him.
Am I wrong?
I'm very smart right?
All my friends will be surprised
by my sudden disappearance.
I will contact the school tomorrow.
Where am I going? The United States?
Canada, Vancouver
There are many Korean students at your new school,
so you will be able to make friends quickly.
Why are there two plane tickets?
I'm going with you.
When I get you settled in, I'll come back.
Let go of me.
People are looking at us.
Hey, Shi Hyuk, where are you going!?
Bastard...
Father, please.
Don't make me hate you even more, Dad.
Sam Dong's room isn't too small, is it?
Goodness, the room is very big.
You're doing a great job.
That's right.
This looks like a bathing pool.
Yes, Sam Dong really loves this place.
Once he goes in, he'll take a long time before he finishes bathing.
Is that so? Mmm...
At home, he doesn't even clean up after he takes a dump.
Oh...
By the way where is that girl... Hye Mi?
Oh, Hye Mi.. Today, Hye Mi...
Did Jin Guk come home yet?
Oh Hye Mi, you're back!
Hello, Auntie.
Auntie.
Try the egg soup.
The eggs are fresh, I'm sure it will taste good.
Oh my, this ahjumma is really pretty!
Ahjumma?
Oh... Yes, ma'am.
Sam Dong, do eat more!
The songs you all sang were very nice.
Oh ya, Hye Mi-ah.
This kid says you're pestering him to marry you after you graduate.
And he says it's giving him insomnia every night.
Just take it as indulging a village boy's fantasy.
Whether to start a relationship or not, is up to you.
Okay, Auntie.
Hey! You and Sam Dong...
You want to marry Sam Dong-Oppa?
Nope.
You haven't talked about marriage, have you?
That's right.
Mom, let's eat.
I'm back, is Hye Mi . . . ?
You must be Jin Guk, right?
Right? Sam Dong's good friend.
Yes. Hello, Auntie
Have you eaten yet?
Quickly have a seat and let's eat together.
Come, sit down, sit down.
Sam Dong has told me quite a bit about you.
He said you're like a little duckling following the mother duck,
always following behind Sam Dong.
Yeah, I probably did...
Good, what a good boy.
Since you're so close to my boy,
then you're no different from my own son.
Yeah...
What do you like to eat?
Seems like your face got all the best features.
Ah, you're really handsome.
I love to eat clams.
Really?
Our Sam Dong says it smells bad and would not even taste it.
See, if you like eating seafood,
you will definitely be handsome and grow as tall as he is.
What? I'm pretty tall too!
He's the one who's not normal!
Eat more!
Hye Mi, you too!
Okay.
Why aren't you eating?
Oh, kid from Seoul. Is it because you don't eat food that was touched by someone's hand?
I already washed my hands just now.
No, it's not that.
Aigoo, if you eat like this you will surely choke.
Eat slowly.
It's alright.
This is too delicious.
Be careful on your way home, auntie.
Okay. I'll come visit all of you soon!
Our little duckling, let's meet again next time.
I will make lots of clams for you then.
Thank you, auntie.
I'll take my mother to the bus station. Please don't lock the door.
Sure, go ahead.
All of you can go in now. Go in!
We'll meet again next time. Go on in quickly.
Hye Mi...
I am sorry.
I lost my cellphone, so I couldn't keep in touch with you.
Did you wait very long?
Are you very angry? About that...?
Yes, I'm angry.
Actually, I was looking forward to beat you up when you come back.
But...
I will let you off today.
Although I'm not sure why,
you look so helpless today,
and really tired too,
so whatever it is, let's talk about it another time.
Go in and have some rest.
You need to take care of yourself,
and you must eat on time. Do you understand?
Yes, I understand.
Sam Dong, I really like that girl, Go Hye Mi.
She always looks so radiant.
Mom, I see her everyday!
She doesn't look that radiant all the time.
Really? Then you need to treat Go Hye Mi better.
Do you understand?
Going back and forth is not convenient for me.
Ask her to come over and have some fun during the vacation.
Do you hear me?
Yes, I know. Quickly go home.
Yes, I'll go now. I'll go now.
Call me when you get home!
Take care of your health, mom.
I know.
Remember to call!
Go back now, go back now.
Mr. President, the bill for the fake showcase came.
The cost of renting the auditorium,
the equipment, the desk and chairs
amounts to 74.3 million won,
without the service charge.
Should I record the rest under Mr. Kang's name?
And add an extra digit?
We will pay for everything except for the auditorium rental.
What? Why?!
After watching such a splendid performance...
Don't we have to pay for our 'concert ticket' as well?
No matter how expensive the ticket can be, it can't worth 6,000,000 won isn't it?
They showed me my dream.
That is a cheap price for it.
Ah, the results of yesterday's showcase was very satisfying.
The entertainment companies will be sending lists of wanted students sooner or later.
You should make sure the students are ready when the list comes in.
Yes.
- [What if she tells the Principal about the fake showcase?] - It's because everyone worked hard for this showcase,
We were able to make it a successful one.
Having even more things like this in the future would be great.
Then, what should we do?
We need to put in more effort.
- Everyone understand? - [Yeah....]
Is there anything else to report?
No...
I ..
have something to say.
The travel agency has given me a list of the best places for the school holiday excursion.
I will submit the plan for review soon, so please confirm when you get it.
You scared me to death.
Ms. Shi, I'm really sorry.
What's the matter, Mr. Kang?
Umm... Yesterday, I
About yesterday's fake showcase, will you report it to the Principal?
What fake showcase?
Um.. Yesterday's performances at the auditorium..
Yesterday? I didn't come here yesterday.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
What?
If you have finished questioning me, I'm going to leave now.
What does she mean?
Seems like she is willing to keep it a secret.
She's on our side.
Looks like it.
Why, why do you think?
I think I understand.
Ya... This could be a major problem...
What happened?
I can't tell you.
What can't you tell me?
It's really important...
Really, you are...
May I meet Hyun Shi Hyuk's class teacher?
That's me. What's the matter?
What's this?
Your application to leave school.
The people working for your father sent it over.
They said that you wanted to study abroad.
I only thought you just had the same family name,
but your father really is President Hyun Moo Shin?
What?
Do I look different to you now because I'm from a rich family?
Indeed. Had I known, I would have collected monthly rent and a deposit from you.
You better pay me back for the food and the hospital fees.
So stingy!
Although I don't know what happened,
I want to ask you a question.
Did you agree to withdraw too?
No.
Going abroad to study...
I won't go!
Then, you should have no problem about me tearing this up, right?
None.
Even if I tear this up,
they will probably send it again.
And they also threatened me saying that the next time, they will send it directly to the principal's office.
Don't worry, I'll go talk to them.
You want me to debut?
Of course. Since you performed at the showcase and were recognized,
of course you must debut.
I was just a substitute.
Doesn't matter. I've already spoken to the principal.
Forget it, I'm not yet ready to debut.
You must know our entertainment company right?
I do.
How can you know all of that, and yet still make such a decision?
As long as one is signed under our label,
he will definitely become a world famous singer.
A world famous singer?
What?
Hyun Shi Hyuk.. Isn't that Jin Guk's real name?
She's too lucky, that Yoon Baek Hee.
If she passes, she'll be able to stand at the top.
Why is Jin Guk's name on this?
Didn't you see it?
He performed together with Baek Hee at the showcase.
What?
Our handsome Jin Guk is the king of dancing and rapping.
That guy... even though he said wasn't interested,
It looked like he was going all out when he performed on stage.
I heard that he's in the small classroom now.
They're interviewing the students who are going to debut.
Really?
This kid,
did not participate in our showcase.
He participated in the actual showcase,
so that he could debut.
If I were to debut and perform on stage,
I wish you will be included in the performance.
Let's go see what he has to say.
Let's go listen.
These 6 individuals are this round's chosen people for debut. That side is the business planning team.
Regarding singing or dancing, our friends here are very outstanding.
Furthermore, they were receiving attention before even entering school.
Then, let's start with Yoon Baek Hee telling us her feelings.
Hello everyone, I am Yoon Baek Hee.
To my parents,
I was the daughter with the least prospects.
Now my prospects have changed, and have made me very happy.
Please tell us who you wish to thank.
I want to thank two people.
First, I want to thank the person next to me, Jin Guk.
No, it's Shi Hyuk.
Because of this friend, I was able to stand and perform during the showcase.
Without this friend, I may not have been able to make my debut.
Thanks to him.
The other is Teacher Shi Kyung-Jin.
She's the one who told me
that a competitor is more precious than a friend.
Her words led me to strive harder until now.
So I'm really thankful, Teacher.
Who is the competitor?
Shouldn't you thank that person as well?
Yes, thanks to that friend.
Thanks for disregarding me, and saying that I'm third class.
Hearing your best friend say those kind of words..
I woke up immediately.
Who is this friend?
Is this friend studying in this school?
Who that person is isn't important.
My only thought was that I am lucky to have this friend,
so that I can have my achievements today.
Listening to others call me Hye Mi's servant..
It feels good.
Although at this standard, I probably cannot go to Julliard with you,
but I should be able to go to Kirin Arts High, right?
We have decided to walk to the end together.
No.
Even if you want to be together with me..
I don't have the same idea of failing together.
I will stay here.
She is just someone who followed me.
She really isn't anything at all.
I am first-class, she's third-class.
I'm sorry. I really didn't know.
When you said you wanted to give up music, I should've known.
You need to be more self-aware.
You still have time to sympathize with others?
Wake up. You are Yoon Baek Hee.
Hye Mi's servant Yoon Baek Hee.
Thank you, for looking down on me, for saying that I'm third class.
Listening to my best friend say such things to me,
I definitely woke up immediately.
Go Hye Mi...
You really are... horrible.
Are you alright?
No.
I'm not alright.
What's wrong?
I thought I was Ha-ni (Note: the heroine of a manhwa)
but I discovered that I am Naeri. (Note: a lesser character)
I thought that I was Candy,
but I'm really Eliza.
I don't understand. Can you speak with simpler words?
What does that mean?
Everybody, good work today!
Come, let me see..
Friday, we all need to take our personal shots,
so keep that day open.
Also, we need to move into the dormitory next week,
so everyone please prepare well, okay?
Fine.
Okay, good work, everybody!
Good work, everyone.
Guk-ah.
I'm serious about what I said just now.
Thank you very much.
If you're really thankful, then please don't say anymore,
whether it's about me or Hye Mi.
What?
If you're famous, people will surely remember
and say that you're that third-class person.
Surely you don't want that.
If you are looking for me to quit school, then forget it.
Also, please help me let my Dad know.
Shi Hyuk-ah.
I already accepted and had an interview for my debut.
If I withdraw now, things will become messy.
Since it is Top Entertainment, there will be even greater commotion.
Doesn't Dad hate that kind of thing even more?
Hye Mi,
Who are Hani and Naeri?
They are comic book characters.
Ah, comic books?
I'm back.
You're here.
What's up with you?
What debut?
What's with that?
Hye Mi,
Come talk to me for a while.
Say it.
Sam Dong, can you spare us a moment please.
I don't want to.
Come here.
Let go!
If you need to say something, say it here.
Hey.
What are you doing? Let me go! Let me down! Hey!
Hey! HEY! Open the door! Quickly open the door!
I'm sorry.
I didn't keep my promise.
But....
I said I wanted to perform together with you on stage.
I was sincere about that.
I was not the one who wanted the debut.
I was forced into it.
I'm jealous.
You'll debut even if it's not your choice,
while I'm here fervently wishing I could.
I'm not angry.
No, do I even have the right to be mad at you?
What am I to you?
Hye Mi...
Congratulations, you're about to debut.
But, I can't smile while congratulating you.
You...don't do that again.
Hey.
I also hope
that our wish will one day come true.
Connecting your cellphone together...
With you.
Stop, stop
Ri-Ah. Okay. Let's stop here.
What's wrong, Director?
If I practice a few more times, I'm sure I can sing better.
Haven't you heard your own singing?
If we broadcast that kind of singing,
That the phone had to be returned.
You want to be killed under a pile of mobile phones?
But what can we do?
I guess We can only find someone else to sing.
Didn't you say you were going to debut as a singer eventually?
Yet, in your CF, you want to use another singer to sing for you? Does that even make sense?
That's true.
We can't use another singer.
Hey. Don't you have anyone in your school that can sing well?
They can sing really well, but aren't likely to debut. No?
They can sing very well, but it definitely doesn't look like they can debut.
Hey.
I was hoping
that my wish will come true.
That I can connect yours and my cellphones together...
With you...
Really, Mom.
You'll be able to hear me on TV.
Ahh... um... once Music Bank has finished, we will come out immediately.
Uhm, at the start of this week.
Ya, of course, I said I would put my name out there.
I know you'll watch for sure.
Bye mom.
Who should I call?
Don't pick up, don't pick up, don't pick up
Yo, what's up, Miss Sushi?
Hello, this is Pil Suk.
Hi, Jason.
I sang a song for a CF today.
The CF with Juliet in it.
That's the one I sang.
Ah, really? Congratulations.
They said they will include my name in the credits.
Then will the name "Kim Pil Suk" appear on TV?
OK, then I'll definitely watch.
OK, bye bye.
Bye bye.
What the...? Have you been watching me this whole time?
Mmm...
Hey, this is really good news.
Thank you!
This... I'll give this to you.
For me?
I feel like you need this more than me right now.
Before, I really hated you.
Now I just can't understand you.
Looking at you, I see a powerless little duckling. I feel like I can sympathize.
This is meaningless now.
I already stopped hating you.
And you can't be considered my rival.
So I hope you can be like this,
Hye Mi.
I have something I want to discuss with you.
What?
Maybe Jason really does like me.
I'm not being narcissistic! There's definite proof of it.
Just say it.
Jason brought me to the karaoke.
He wants to sing with me.
Mmm... There's probably a twenty percent chance.
Really?
I see, didn't Jason come when we had the showcase?
It was said that he came to sing with me.
If it's to that extent, 60 percent.
Really?
I then sang the CF song.
Jason sincerely congratulated me.
70%.
Really?
So it's not that big.
If you include the tidbit as well,
it feels like 100%.
He collected my uniform for me.
He also told me not to quit school.
Why are looking at me with that sort of expression?
You're very pretty.
How come I didn't notice that before?
Really?
Mmm...
You look like a leading character...
A leading character, getting prettier and prettier.
Hye Mi...
Are you not feeling well?
I'm fine.
Why so many books?
Ajussi, do you have the comic book for Hani and Naeri?
Hani and Naeri
There's also Candy and Eliza.
What is the name of the comics when they came out?
What sort of comics do you like?
Aren't you planning to talk to me?
Are you wearing my underwear again?
Hye Mi
I have to move into the dormitory this week.
Previous: You don't know how I feel No, it doesn't matter.
Last time when I went home,
didn't I smile at you?
You're very pretty.
Better than the sunlight.
I like you.
Haha, very amusing.
I like you more than the whole universe.
I think,
I'm starting to like you.
I really
like you.
Please come up to the stage if you feel the same.
Please come up, I'm begging you, I'm begging you, begging you...
I'm asking you, please come up.
Did you write all these?
Mmm...
I didn't know.
Did you really like me that much before?
I'm sorry.
I do like you, but I don’t think I feel the same as you do.
Then why do you bother coming here? Why don't you just leave?
If I received a confession,
If I leave without answering directly, it's a bit
impolite (ungentleman-like), right?
Huh? Yeah...
Is that so...
I'm easily infatuated, based on my own imagination.
Hye Mi often told me
I'm easily deluded based on my imagination.
Let me get rid of this.
Honey, come out, come out, ready, ready ah
Hye Mi...
I'm actually not the lead character.
OK. Very good.
- Another one? - Yes, yes
OK, you have worked hard.
Ri-ah
The CF you did was great.
Who sang this song? Her voice is very good.
Someone called Pil Suk.
It's not someone who can debut, is it?
It's possible if she loses 30kg.
Otherwise it's impossible.
OK, photographer, let's try a different style.
It was Pil Suk who sang that song.
Why is it your name that appears in the credits?
I didn't know why that is either.
Isn't it done by the advertising agency?
How disappointing!
You think this is an excuse?
You think I like having someone else's voice coming out of my face?
What are you doing, Ri Ah? Come here quickly.
Yes.
Congratulations on your debut.
Wishing you great success for your debut performance.
Let's congratulate Jin Guk-ee on his debut.
We should congratulate you on your debut.
But I really can't make it that grand.
Will Oppa leave here (home) today?
Yeah..
Don't worry, I'll drop in if I have time.
Why is the atmosphere like this?
Eat up. When I feel sad, eating cake makes me feel better.
Do you want a drink?
Noona, don't drink so much.
Is that right?
How come Hye Mi isn't back yet? Where did she go?
I don't know. She mentioned when she went out that she would be late.
What's the matter with Hye Mi?
She's been like a sick patient with no spirit.
We're really worried.
Do you want to listen?
Not a bad way of doing it.
Say it freely, I can't hear.
Like this.
Sometimes it helps to pretend to be a friend, even if you're not one.
What are you doing here?
Hye Mi
What's the matter?
What happened to make you cry?
Should I say it?
Tell you why I'm crying?
No.
I think you already know.
Stop.
I'm crying because of Jin Guk.
Stop it!
That's right.
You're crying because of Jin Guk...
Because he debuted so quickly,
you're jealous of him and now you're crying.
You envy him and now you're crying.
Sam Dong-ah,
I understand you better than yourself.
Am I wrong?
There's no other reason, right?
Ah, what the?
Why are these so messy?
What's this?
Really...
This is your drawing right? Very childish
No.
What's this?
You didn't draw this?
This is Sam Dong's drawing.
He drew it based on what I had said.
Sam Dong? What do you mean?
I said that to him.
I thought I was Hani, then I realised that I'm actually Candy.
Therefore, he used you as the lead in the drawing
Wow...
Is this you? The one glaring from the corner of her eyes?
That's Baek Hee.
And this is Sam Dong.
The eyes make up half of the face. Is this for real?
He just drew randomly.
Ajusshi... from your perspective
I'm not Hani...do you think I'm like Naeri?
Looking at the past till now,
you are like Naeri.
Can't you just tell a white lie?
Didn't you know? I can only tell the truth.
I'm not in the mood to joke.
I'm not joking either.
If your story was going to end here,
then you are definitely Naeri.
Disregarding friends,
being arrogant towards them... and in the end, your friends debut first.
But your TV drama does not end here.
If it goes on, it will have a different storyline.
You recognise your mistakes,
reflect on your actions, correct your mistakes, and grow up.
What if the story has not reached its climax?
The lead of this TV drama will be you.
It's a long way till this TV drama ends.
So don't feel anxious because you can't speed it up.
If you walk slowly, you'll achieve more than those who are moving too fast.
If you ask me out of the two, which will grow and gain more?
I think it's the one who walks slower that gets to see more.
I'm going to drive to school in a moment.
Do you want to come?
Yes, Teacher Kang.
See you soon then.
You just called me Teacher Kang, right?
Nope.
I'm right, aren't I? You did just call me Teacher Kang. Right? Right?
I said no.
Maybe I heard it wrong.
Pil Suk isn't here yet?
Yeah, she's not here yet.
I've seen this.
How do you have this?
Give it here.
Why?
Give it here. Give it now!
Why?
Give it to me!
Didn't you draw this because you wanted to give it to me?
No! Give it to me! Are you listening to me?
Don't move. It got stuck.
Hey. What happens after this?
I don't know. I just drew it randomly.
Alright.
I know what happens after this.
It should be our turn to win.
Are you okay?
Let me have a look at your forehead.
There's no need.
From now on, please stop being so nice to me.
I am always worrying about you.
How about you stop making me worry about you?
You.... worry about me?
You don't hate me?
Hey! Which idiot will go to the karaoke to sing with someone he hates?
You don't hate me, but you don't like me either?
If I had to say one, I guess I like you a little.
You said you liked me....
But only as friends, right?
If I lose weight....
Then, will you change your mind?
What?
After 200 days, I'll definitely lose weight.
I'll become pretty and appear in front of you.
When the time comes... can you give me another answer?
There's this girl Pil Suk
who didn't meet the requirements to debut right?
Maybe if she loses around 30kg.
It's simply impossible.
Fine. 200 days.
What again? Want to withdraw?
No. Teacher, I want to lose weight.
Lose 30kg within 200 days.
Do you think it's possible?
I'm not sure.
It'll depend on your determination.
I'm extremely determined.
This... can it be lost?
Honey,
Do you know why there's a saying that goes, "Looks are like your strength"?
As long as you're willing to work hard, you'll be able to change.
In this world there are no ugly women,
only lazy ones.
So long as you're diligent from today onwards.
Okay?
So long as I am dilligent.
The first thing you have to be dilligent about is following a strict diet.
Eat like a queen for breakfast,
then like a commoner for lunch,
and a beggar for dinner.
Compared to other sports,
skipping rope is the most effective way to lose weight.
With your build,
as long as you do it for 30 minutes,
you can easily burn off 200K calories.
Even before debut, they used their glamourous appearances
to stun the crowd. They're now in the limelight for their capabilities.
Yes, it's the 6-member mixed group K.
They made their stage debut last friday.
The music world has already started rumors that they will be the best idol group!
In this first week of the new year 2011 at Music Bank,
we will now announce the winner.
Who will be the winner? It's... K!
Heartfelt congratulations to K!
K, who took the stage like comets across the sky,
plan to temporarily end their promotions this week
to complete their studies
and work hard to prepare for their next album.
Let's look forward to
K's comeback with a brand new look.
- =200 days later =-
Why did you come here?
I just.. wanted to meet a friend I haven't seen for awhile.
How about you?
Same here.
Where did they go?
Long time no see.
About 200 days.
You...
You're Pil Suk?
Hey.. Have you seen the people from the half-admissions class?
This drama series is far from over.
So.. don't worry about taking things slowly.
Compared to those who walk fast, the ones that walk slow...
are able to see more things much clearer.
If you ask me who has the greatest potential,
I believe...
the person that walks slower will be the more careful, enriched person.
-= Next Episode Preview =-
Why do we need to practice dancing?
Next year will be the High School Dance of the Year competition.
How can we possibly perform such a large-scale performance?
Don't we have Teacher Yang Jin Man?
Teacher... we've got a big problem! They've kicked us out....
If you really don't have a place to practice, you can just use my place...
President Ma...
Please don't show this kind of expression.
While dancing, the snake has a very strong charm
Very suitable for this dance.
Try to recall that bird you saw yesterday.
Try to capture the essence of the bird's movements with your body.
That teacher dances fiercely.
Thank you for yesterday.
Do you remember the words I said before?
I would never abandon Hye Mi.
