[Let's Drink]
I love drinking solo.
Since my job entails talking all day, having this time when I don't have to...
this solitude... is the absolute best.
Wow, this building is huge!
I'm starting work at Noryangjin, starting today.
Our academy's hope, Jin Jung Seok!
Oh, Teacher Jin Jung Seok?
Nine out of 10 teens take his class. He's really the best of the best.
Yeah, Mom. I'm at Noryangjin.
Why else? You told me to study for the civil servant exam!
I thought Noryangjin would be so depressing, but it's not.
I can live here while getting an allowance and not getting nagged at!
It's like a dream come true!
I'm Park Ha Na, who will take responsibility for your Korean!
How was Professor Park's lecture?
I heard she used to work at a prep school.
Doesn't her lesson show her educational background?
There was a post doubting Professor Jin's credentials! Did you see it?
They said that they had concrete evidence too.
Come on, Dong Young! Just come out!
Can you let me off the hook? You know how it is with me.
I'm studying while mooching off my family.
I have to hurry up and pass since I feel so bad.
Let's break up. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
I should've done this sooner. I'm sorry I didn't let you go earlier.
I have no intention of creating a joint class with these people.
- He really is premium trash! - He can't treat us like this!
No Geu Rae's schooling sucks, and she has no skills!
I can't accept it.
Are you talking about schools again? Is that so important to you?
Is that why you lied about yours?
What's going on? There's nobody named Jin Jung Seok at Seoul University.
What... what is this?
My real name is Jin Sang.
Jin Jung Seok has been my fake name since I started teaching in Noryangjin.
What the... why is she sleeping there?
Hey. Excuse me. You can't sleep here! Go home!
Oh no! That's my bus! Wait, Mister!
Excuse me! Throw me my shoes!
Yes, ma'am!
Hurry!
Isn't that my Korean teacher?
Hurry! Hurry!
What are they doing?
No! My shoe! My shoe!
[Episode 3]
Wow.
I love drinking solo.
Since my job entails talking all day, having this time when I don't have to...
this solitude... is the absolute best.
I have a couple of rules for myself when I drink solo.
First: I have to drink in a place with a luxurious atmosphere.
Second: I have to snack on something luxurious while I drink.
Third: I have to drink with some class.
I must never allow my blood alcohol level to get above 0.08 percent.
That's the legal blood alcohol limit.
That's the sweet spot. That's how much I can drink without feeling cruddy.
I hate people like that who get together and drink like loud heathens.
A time just for me. A time of healing.
This is the reason why I love drinking solo.
I lost my shoe and my image was destroyed.
Today was full of surprises, wasn't it?
What are you doing? Come inside right now!
Get in here.
Mom!
Keep this punk with you for a while.
What are you talking about all of the sudden, Mom?
Do you think that just anyone can pass the civil servant exams?
What? "Just anyone"?
Mom.
Do you know how difficult the civil servant examinations are?
He can't do it!
He's not the studying type!
Yeah. The way he's saying it really pisses me off, but he's right, Mom.
I really am not the studying type.
Not the type, my ass.
Well, I'm not the type that's good at picking up after your slack!
- Ow! - Ugh!
We can't just have your younger brother be unemployed forever.
You're the best instructor at Noryangjin, aren't you?
Keep him with you and make him a civil servant. Okay?
I can't.
I have no desire to educate him and even less desire to live with him.
Why do I need to babysit a pathetic punk like him
who can't even look after himself?
Well, I don't want to live with you either, all right, Big Bro?
Ow!
This bastard. Shut your mouth.
I told you to treat him like a king while you're living with him!
Yes, Mother.
Don't just say that you won't.
Come on. Can't you, please?
You know this already. I can't live with other people anymore!
I like being alone!
If you're really going to make him do this, get him his own studio apartment.
And if you need the money, I'll be happy to pay.
You think this is about money?
He already lives like an idiot when I'm living with him as it is!
Imagine how much worse he'd be if he lived alone!
Who knows where he'll run off to? You need to be next to him at least!
That way, he'll think things through a bit more before he acts!
I really don't get along with Gong Myung, Mother.
I know. He's totally different from you.
It would've been so nice if Gong Myung was as strong and smart as you!
Why are you two so different when you're brothers?
It's because we're different that I don't like him.
I've never asked you to do anything that you didn't want to do.
That's why I didn't say anything even when it killed me inside
when you quit trying to be a professor!
I trusted that you knew what you were doing, so I didn't say anything!
This is your mother's first-ever request to you, my son.
You really can't do this for me?
Pretty please?
Oh, geez.
This is my only wish!
Why don't you have a bite too?
This is cheonggukjang that I fermented myself to make into soup for you!
It's very delicious. Eat.
It's all right. All I need is this juice.
Eating something like cheonggukjang in the morning will make me stink.
Wow, what a fussy baby.
Ah, that smells divine!
Mom. You really are overdoing it, you know!
You barely even made me food and yet you prepared a feast for Big Bro!
Just look at all these side dishes!
Shut it, punk!
If you feel that badly about it, hurry up and pass the exam
and earn your own damn keep!
Oh yeah. Gong Myung is going to come by to register at your academy today.
I told him to study at the academy where you teach if he could.
What?
Hey. Don't you dare tell people that you're my younger brother, all right?
If people find out that a bum with no future like you is my younger brother
nobody will want to take any of my classes.
Oh, that's true, dear!
I hope nobody says anything like
"How could you teach anyone if you can't even teach your younger brother?"
Act like you're strangers in public, all right?
Oh, all right, already! That's what I want too!
I don't want the world to know that my older brother is such an asshole either!
What'd you say, punk?
What? What? What?
Shut your trap!
I told you to treat your older brother like a king!
That hurts, damn it!
At any rate, please take care of this immature punk for me.
I'll come visit often too.
No need. Just send me some allowance money instead, Mother.
Look at this punk.
I just don't want you to go through the trouble, that's all.
Oh, really, now?
I have to care about how I look at a time like this?
Geez.
I promised to look pretty today. Will this work?
Hello.
Um, did you happen to see the texts that I sent you?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that you had to reveal your real name because of me.
So what?
You want me to let you into the joint class since you're sorry?
Is that what you're trying to get at?
No, not at all. You don't need to put me in there.
I just wanted to apologize to you properly.
So you want to just apologize with no ulterior motives, eh?
Yes. I don't have any ulterior motives.
If apologizing was really your only objective
I'll accept that apology.
In exchange, don't you ever dare bring up "joint classes" to me again.
Do you understand, Ms. No Geu Rae?
Yes.
Wow!
All the comments there are about your looks. None of them are about classes.
What are you talking about? It's not like that.
Wow, look at these punks with excellent taste.
- Oh, stop. - Oh, hi, Professor Jin.
- Oh? - Hello.
- Oh! - You two are coming in together?
Did you apologize to him?
Oh, yes.
Really? So he's taking you in for his joint class?
No. He said he'd accept my apology, but told me not to bring that up again.
What are you saying?
What are you going to do if you can't get into the joint class?
You should've begged him harder!
I'll do my best to increase the number of my students, sir. Please trust me.
Trust you, my ass! How could I?
Where are you getting this confidence from?
Did you see the comments that came up after your lecture?
They're really a sight to see.
Why? Were there a lot of mean comments?
As if.
Here. See it for yourself.
This is worse than mean comments. There are no comments at all!
This is the reality of the situation you're in! Got it?
People only write mean comments if they're actually interested in you!
If you don't want to go back to a prep school, get into the joint class!
Got that?
Ugh! You piss me off so much.
Geez, how frustrating.
Hello there.
Yes, I'm Officer Park Hae Young.
You're parodying Lee Je Hoon from "Signal" today?
Yep!
Right now, it's 9:00 a.m. on September 12, 2016.
I'm not late. I got to work on time.
Were you late, Detective?
Detective! Detective!
Stop messing around.
I told you, stop wasting time doing that and spend more time on lesson planning!
Geez, why are you all getting me so pissed so early in the morning?
What's with him today?
He's always like that even when I'm showing tons of effort.
Was my class only at that level?
I said I'd do my best, but...
I expected things to be hard at Noryangjin.
But this is just so hard and unbearable for me.
Do you want to have a burger?
Why are you talking about burgers? That's not it at all!
I'm saying that this is unbearable!
As in, this is too much for me.
Do you want to drink water?
Forget it.
You're really preparing for the civil servant exams?
Yes, I told you already!
What else was I supposed to do?
My mom told me to work at the orchard if not this.
Hey, your family's orchard isn't that bad, though. Isn't it big?
Wouldn't it be nice to inherit that?
Mom said she'd only give me 100,000 won per month!
Inherit, my foot! I'll pretty much just be a slave.
Studying is a lot better than that.
Hey, are you moving into our student hostel too, then?
No. My big bro lives in Seoul. I'm living with him.
Oh, the one who studies really well, unlike you?
- Did he get a job? - Yeah.
He did, and...
and is having a hell of a time.
Figures, since he's so smart.
This is why getting educated is crucial.
You just realized that?
Hey, what about Dong Young?
I thought he was working at an academy. Did he go on ahead of us?
No. He sent me a text this morning.
He asked me to cover for him. He's sick.
That's only natural since he studied so hard.
Can you really do this?
I've done this a couple times already.
Hey, Jung Chae Yeon. Take this.
You look tired lately. Drink this and feel better.
I don't need it. Take it away.
There she is again. That eyesore.
They say she's the beauty of Noryangjin. Can you believe that rubbish?
Isn't she ugly?
Even if they brought me a truckload of her, I'd only want the truck.
Why? She's not bad.
What are you saying?
Don't be like that. Take it.
I told you that I don't want to.
If you came all the way to Noryangjin to study, then study!
What?
- Hello. - Hello.
What are you doing over there? Take a seat.
Oh... yes.
Why...
Oh. Um. Cheer up.
Thanks! I'll enjoy it!
All right. I'll be talking about a different topic today.
Oh, what's wrong with me?
I can't be acting like this.
Oh, I'm sorry about that.
To tell you the truth, there aren't many people taking this class
and there haven't been any comments about it
so I was a bit upset.
But... after seeing someone cheering me on like this...
I feel terrible and embarrassed.
I'm just overflowing with emotion!
What's with her? I feel even more embarrassed than her.
If she knows that that's the coffee that Jung Chae Yeon rejected
she's going to start straight-up bawling!
Shush.
You know, I'm going to do my very best until each and every one of you passes
and teach my heart out!
Cheer up, Teacher!
Thank you!
- Cheer up, Teacher! - Cheer up, Teacher!
What the hell is going on here?
Also, why did she come looking like that when she said she'd be prettier?
She looks even worse.
Ugh.
Um, Teacher!
Oh, did you have a question?
No, I don't. But I have something for you.
Oh, my shoe!
Oh! Oh!
Excuse me! Throw me those shoes!
Hurry!
Then... the person who threw me my shoes that time... was you?
Yes.
Oh, what a relief! These are kind of new, so I was sad about it.
Thanks so much!
You haven't had lunch yet, right? I want to buy you a meal or something.
What?
Oh, sure.
I left my wallet somewhere, though. Can you wait in front of the academy?
Of course.
Ha Na!
Ta-da! Take a look.
What's this?
I ordered wet wipes to promote you.
Oh!
She wanted to increase your class size since you're not in the joint class.
So Professor Hwang did this for you.
Wow, thanks so much!
Don't be. I told you! I'll help you in any way I can!
This is great. I'm going out for lunch. I'll hand these out on my way back.
No. Just get a part-timer to do it.
No. I'll look at the students face-to-face and do it myself.
I'll be back!
Bye!
Aw, look at her. She's so happy.
We should've done this together.
I felt bad that she was left out of the joint class.
They don't even cost that much.
Anyway, I'd like it if Ha Na got tons of more students.
Professor Hwang just did someone a huge favor just now.
Just trust me.
If things keep going this way, Professor Park's future can change!
I'd like it if Professor Park became happy.
- What are you doing? - "What are you doing"?
I'm using a walkie-talkie, obviously!
I told you we could eat something more expensive since you got my shoe back.
No, it's all right. I love hand-cut noodles.
- Excuse me-- - Use this.
Thank you.
[Park Ha Na's Powerful Korean!]
What's this?
They're promotional wet wipes.
I'm going to hand them out after we eat.
Oh.
Um, can you speak informally to me?
It makes me feel uncomfortable that you're using formal speech with me.
Oh... okay, then.
I'm a teacher, just like you said.
But I lost my shoes when we first met.
It's kind of embarrassing.
And I acted like that back at the lecture hall too.
Are you going through a lot, Teacher?
Um, no.
It's nothing compared to the hardships of being a student.
A single test makes or breaks your lives.
I have to be the one to support people like you.
But all I did was cry in front of you all.
- How humiliating. - No! Not at all!
I don't know about others
but you don't need to worry about things like that with me.
I'm not here because I wanted to study for the exam myself.
My mom forced me to be here.
I'm not exactly cut out for studying either.
I'm not exactly smart, you see.
Why? You seem like you have a lot of potential.
Excuse me?
Well, this means that you're self-aware enough to know your flaws.
And that means that you can now work on those flaws.
I really think that you'll be able to do well.
Really?
Also, I won't show the clumsier parts of myself anymore.
I'll do my best, so you do your best too.
Okay?
Just a second.
Yes?
What? All right. I'll be right there, then.
Sorry, but something urgent came up, so I have to go.
Take your time.
What? Um, I'm done too! Let's go together!
What the...
I thought she said she was going to be less clumsy.
Geez.
Are you really sick? I bought you some porridge!
What's with all these tissues?
You said you were sick and didn't even show up for work.
But did you lock yourself up in your room to do that all day?
Ugh, you're disgusting.
You sure jerked off a lot, huh?
You're so frugal about everything
but you use tissues for this quite liberally, huh?
You even have a girlfriend! How pathetic!
You're going to wear it out at this rate!
What's this? Why aren't you responding?
Are you embarrassed? Huh?
What the... are you crying?
Why are you crying, man?
I broke up... with my girlfriend.
What?
So you didn't use these tissues for jerking off?
You were crying?
You didn't get your class schedule? I definitely sent it out.
It was in my inbox. I guess I didn't check properly. I'm sorry.
Oh, no. It's all right. If you have it, that's fine.
I'll get going now, then.
Yeah, Mom? What is it?
What are you dragging this on for? Just say it!
The lease is over? Oh... already?
How much do you need?
What?
10 million won?
Yes.
She has to give them back the deposit for the lease, so...
But you know that I'm kind of broke.
And I wasn't even given the last three paychecks at my last academy.
I do know.
But, um... I can't. I lent all my money to my boyfriend.
My Min Ho's business isn't doing so well right now.
I see.
- I'll look into it for you. - Thank you.
What's going on?
Are you joining the joint class after all?
Oh, I just thought that, since you're not even asking Professor Jin about joining
I thought that you were super well-off or something.
That wasn't the case?
What are you...
Then get into Professor Jin's joint class, no matter what it takes.
If you do, I'll give you that 10 million won.
What?
I mean, that much of a bonus is nothing if you get into the joint class.
Why wouldn't he be able to do it?
- Really? - Yeah.
So hurry up and convince him!
The teacher on the eighth floor is trying to take that spot right now.
You're going to end up losing your chance like this!
But... isn't the Korean teacher on the eighth floor really famous?
Wouldn't that be better for you?
Yes, yes. I'd love that.
If not for the money.
The Korean teacher on the eighth floor is way too expensive.
If I were to give them a bonus, I'd have no money left!
Geez.
How can you mange to drink coffee right now?
Hurry up and go see that premium trash!
Cry if you need to! You need to get in there!
No.
I promised him that I wouldn't mention that.
He even had to reveal his real name all because of me.
- I have some shame, you know. - Who cares about shame?
Do whatever you need to! Nag him! Bribe him!
Do whatever you can!
Yeah. Don't you need money, Professor Park?
I'll get going now.
Geez! She's so frustrating!
Right now, Detective...
what happened back in 1989 that Professor Park was born
as such a frustrating person?
We can't change the past, so we have to change the future!
Shut up with that already!
What the hell are you doing? Seriously!
What should I do?
If I get included in his joint class, it will fix everything.
Should I really beg him?
I really don't want to!
Sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do.
Really?
Then do I really have to do as Professor Hwang and Professor Min say
and do whatever I can?
Professor Jin! Are you going somewhere?
I'm going to my office since I have a meeting.
Oh, really? Meeting. I see. Go, then.
Man, I need to bring up the joint class thing soon.
I'd like it if you paid more attention to the comments on my page.
Make sure you write replies that adhere to my teachings.
Don't write low-quality answers based on your own assertions.
You all understand, right?
- Yes. - Yes.
Do you have the new material for me to teach for the joint class?
Yes. There's only the final section left. Shall I do it if you're busy?
No. I'll check over everything myself.
I have a special delivery.
Is there a Professor Jin Jung Seok here?
That's me.
What is this?
To Professor Jin Jung Seok, whom I respect.
please forget about the past and let me into your joint class.
From Park Ha Na, who respects you very much.
[100,000 won Gift Certificate]
Take Professor Park Ha Na's class!
She knows every question that'll be on the exam!
Take Professor Park Ha Na's class!
Wow, these assholes!
Take Professor Park Ha Na's class!
What are you doing right now?
Why do you care?
What? Are you out of your mind?
Why are you handing these out?
I thought you wanted us to act like strangers!
Just go on your way!
Take Professor Park Ha Na's class!
Take Professor Park Ha Na's--
What the hell? What's with him?
Damn him!
Yeah, Ki Bum?
What?
Geez.
Hey, slow down, man!
Hey. I haven't seen you wear that before.
This is the farewell gift that Joo Yeon gave me.
I wonder how much heartbreak she felt as she picked this out.
Joo Yeon!
If you still have strong feelings for her, ask her not to leave you.
It's not too late.
No. A guy like me has no right.
I can't give her a hard time anymore.
It's right to let her go this way.
- Then stop whining. - You just don't know.
Joo Yeon was such a great girl.
She was prettier than any of the girls here.
If you're going to be all whiny, go stop her.
I said no. It's right to let her go.
- Then stop whining. - Joo Yeon was...
Her boobs were bigger than any girls' here.
I will never meet such a girl again. Joo Yeon...
If you're going to be all whiny, go stop her.
- I said it's right to let her go! - Then shut it and just cry.
What kind of guy is this talkative? You're irritating.
What? Is it true?
- Did he really break up with Joo Yeon? - They did.
Joo Yeon. Joo Yeon...
Professor Jin, you're here.
I've been waiting for you to talk about something.
- Talk about something? - Yes, it's just that...
As for your joint class, can you please let Professor Park in?
No matter how hard I think about it
your joint class is the only way to advertise Professor Park.
Where is Professor Park now?
She might be in the office. Why?
I'm sorry, but can you tell her that I want to see her on the terrace?
Sure. I will.
- Excuse me, where is Professor Park? - Professor Park?
Professor Park!
Professor Jin wants to see you on the terrace now.
Pardon? Me?
I begged him to include you in his joint class.
He might be letting you do that.
- Go ahead and hurry. - Thank you.
I heard you had something to talk to me about.
- Who are you really? - Pardon?
Why do you have these?
You made students do this when they should be busy studying?
What kind of teacher are you? You think you have the right?
That's not what happened. I left them at the restaurant...
- And what is this? - Pardon?
You said you wanted to truly apologize
but this is how you handle it, isn't it?
You wanted to win me over however possible and get in my joint class.
What do you mean?
- I know nothing about this. - Save it.
I hate people like you who will do anything to get what they want.
You're even worse than I imagined.
Gosh, what's all this about?
I understand about the wet wipes, but...
What's this about?
What is this? Oh my goodness.
You made it look like Ha Na sent a gift certificate?
Yes, I did.
You ordered the wet wipes for her.
I was thinking about what else I could do for her.
So it wasn't because you begged him.
Professor Jin changed his mind after he received my gift.
Is that right? You did the right thing for the first time, Professor Min.
- Good job. - Good job.
Hello. I was praised by Director Kim for the first time.
This world has finally become livable.
Is your world also livable?
- It's funny! - What's going on?
I'm so happy that I find your impersonation very funny today.
- Isn't it? - Your impersonation was good.
- Wow, you're here. - Oh my!
Congratulations! Congratulations! Ta-da!
Congratulations, Professor Park.
- Now you're in the joint class, right? - You should take us out.
I don't know if you know.
Professor Jin was impressed with the gift I sent him on your behalf.
- That's why he changed his mind. - Sure.
Did you send this then?
Why did you take it back?
- He wouldn't take it? - Is that why he wanted to see you?
He still doesn't want to include you in his joint class?
- No. - Gosh, I begged him and all...
Professor Jin isn't very nice, seriously.
I know you've all tried to help me.
I don't think you will have to do that any more.
- Wait, Professor Park... - Ha Na.
- Stop drinking. - Leave me alone.
Hey, call her now.
- It's still not too late. - Don't.
I'm sure Joo Yeon made the decision after thinking it over.
It's not going to work even if he begs her.
You're right. Take this.
You two take my phone, please.
- What for? - If I have the phone
I'd definitely call Joo Yeon.
If so, it'd torture her even more.
- Then don't call her. - If I get really drunk
I don't know what I'll do.
I understand. By the way
did you get this from an old TV show?
How old is this phone?
It sure did its job right...
- Take this too. - Why your wallet?
If I have the wallet, I may take a cab to see her.
- Then don't go! - If I get really drunk
- I don't know what I'll do. - I understand.
By the way, is this a rag or a wallet?
When you don't even have enough money for a cab, how would you get there?
You're just so pathetic.
- Jin Yi. - Yes?
About the money you said earlier you'd look into...
- I'd really appreciate it. - Okay.
I'll leave first.
Professor Park, are you just going to go home?
- Let's have dinner. It's on me. - It's okay.
I have no appetite right now.
Be careful, Ha Na.
- See you tomorrow. - Sure.
Gosh, Professor Park seems so depressed.
She has every right. She doesn't stand a chance with the joint class now.
No choice. We should take Professor Jin out for a drink.
We should make him include Ha Na in his joint class.
You're right. That's a very good idea.
Are you done for the day?
Let's go out for a drink.
I already said I wouldn't go out.
Don't do that and just have one drink with us today.
We have something to talk to you about.
Please, Professor Jin. Let's go.
You don't like it? I'm sorry.
- I will go. - Do that, Professor Jin.
My beauty wouldn't work, gosh.
How could he not feel anything?
He hurt my pride so badly.
I will go home.
Now I feel like drinking.
Come on. Let's all go out for a drink then.
Professor Hwang, what do you like?
- Hey, are you okay? - No, I'm not okay.
I'm reminded of Joo Yeon everywhere I go.
How can I possibly be okay, huh?
Joo Yeon and I come to this café often.
She always had a café mocha with whipped cream on top.
And she liked that Chinese restaurant over there, too.
She always added vinegar to the radishes there.
She and I went to that motel too.
- Whenever we went there... - How was it?
Why are you so interested?
You gave us detailed explanations about the café and restaurant.
Why so short about the motel?
- What? Punk? - Hey, hey.
Stop it already, punks.
Ki Bum.
Can you check my phone?
- Did Joo Yeon call me at all? - Not a single call.
- Don't even dream. - Can you still check?
I will.
This is my phone.
This is my wallet.
- I might have left them at the bar. - What, you punk!
You really haven't seen a phone and wallet?
It's like a very old phone from an old TV show.
It's an old wallet that makes you want to put some money in it.
- I haven't seen it. - She hasn't seen it.
You went to the bathroom earlier. Didn't you leave it there?
Dong Young, it should be there. I will go look.
Go look.
What losers would take such things, huh?
Are you crazy? Let go of me.
- I will buy you a new one. - That's not the point.
What if Joo Yeon has called me?
She gathered the courage to call me.
What if she thinks I'm avoiding her, huh?
Don't even dream about that.
- She will not call you. - How can you be sure, huh?
How can I be sure? I can see the answer when I look at you.
She must have been sick of being with you while you were studying.
- What? Bastard! - She even got a job.
She must have met someone already.
Her face and boobs are already with someone else by now.
- What did you say, bastard? - What are you doing, punk?
People are watching. Let go.
- Let go. - Let go.
I said, let go.
- Let go, you punk. - Let go.
- Are you crazy? - What have you done right?
- Let go of me! - Let go!
What are you doing? Stop it!
- Let go, punk! - Let go!
Let go, seriously!
What are you doing?
Let go!
Count to three and let go, okay?
One, two, three, let go!
Bastard, why didn't you let go?
People are watching us, punks!
- Director Kim, thank you for the drinks. - Thank you.
- Where shall we go for the second round? - Doesn't matter where.
I'm not in the mood to be picky.
I'm in a bad mood because of Professor Jin.
I agree. Wouldn't it be nice to talk over a drink?
Why wouldn't he want to go out for a drink?
He doesn't like drinking, perhaps?
Not like drinking? I love drinking.
But I love drinking when I drink solo.
Oh my goodness, we've run into each other here.
I'm so glad to see you.
You said you wouldn't go out for a drink.
- What happened? - I agree.
If you were going to drink, wouldn't it be better to drink with us?
This looks so lonely.
Have a drink with us, Professor Jin.
Please don't do this. I like drinking alone.
Come on. It tastes better when drinking with others.
This is perfect.
We will all drink together tonight
to welcome you and also, for your joint class.
- I'm okay, so I will go. - Come on.
You can't leave us here like this.
Have one drink. Just one drink, please.
- Sit. - Sit.
Sit.
Call to see if Joo Yeon has called you yet.
If she hasn't, you're dead.
Hi, Joo Yeon, it's me. Did you call me by any chance?
What?
You didn't?
I called because I thought you might...
But you didn't. All right then.
I'm sorry. Bye.
I will not call you ever again.
I told you she didn't. You're now dead.
What is it?
Hey, that's enough, man.
I think this is better for you.
You said you'd pass for sure this time.
Now you have no girlfriend, so focus on studying and pass.
What do I do after I pass then?
I wanted to live happily ever after with Joo Yeon after I passed the exam.
Now she's gone.
Dong Young, there are plenty of other women.
Who cares that she's gone?
- Let's move on. - I agree, man.
- I will buy you a new phone and wallet. - Can you buy me Joo Yeon too?
Gosh, I don't think I can let her go...
Gosh, this pathetic dude...
Stop it.
I said, stop.
Stop it!
Now you're making me cry.
Enough already, guys.
Professor Jin, you won't let Professor Park in your joint class?
If you get to know her, she's lived a tough life.
She's a breadwinner for her family.
Her family business went bankrupt when she was in college.
She had to make money for her tuition and living expenses while in school.
True. She needs 10 million to help out with her mother's rent.
Gosh, she really does need to join Professor Jin's joint class.
- So much. - Professor Jin.
Is there any way, please?
Am I running some sort of a charity?
Why is my joint class supposed to help the needy?
Everybody likes a little extra, right?
Can you please take this?
I switched my schedule around to go get this at a department store.
- It was you? - Pardon? Well...
Professor Park was too inexperienced to do what needs to be done.
So I got in the middle and helped her out.
But I'm such a nice person too.
I wrote her name, so no one knows it's from me.
- It's awesome, isn't it? - Gosh.
Everybody is trying here, so please accept her.
I thought the decision was already made.
- Where are you going? - Where are you going?
We still have this much food left.
- I'm going to the bathroom. - Ah, bathroom.
Don't think about taking off.
We have your suitcase and clothes here.
That man is so stubborn.
He looks mad.
Maybe we should stop.
- I'm kind of scared of him. - I'm more scared of my in-laws.
After they invested in my business, they're all over me.
To try to get the money back after I scouted Professor Jin.
I will have to make Professor Park work hard.
When he returns
- we will make him agree, no matter how. - We will.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
What's up with No Geu Rae? Why didn't she say she didn't do it?
Why is she making this weird?
Plus, what did she ever do for them?
They are all trying to take her side.
Gosh, I don't want to go back...
What is this, by the way?
Wait. Give it. Isn't this a portable breathalyzer?
Seriously, he's an interesting man.
Why does he carry such a thing around?
Wow, it's working.
0.15? Isn't it high enough to get pulled over?
Officer Lee, now I've arrested a drunk driver.
Arrested? How dare you?
Give it. Give it now.
Officer Lee, are there any positions available at academies in 1990?
If so, take Professor Min here.
He's not needed in 2016.
See what happens if you do it again.
Officer Lee, this may be our last communication.
- But this communication... - Give it now.
- Give it so I can break it. - Director Kim.
- This is expensive. - Give it.
- It's very expensive. - Give it. I will break it.
Just keep drinking.
Gosh, what have you done?
- What are you looking at? - I didn't see anything.
What are you looking at?
Director Kim, this is sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment?
- Sexual harassment. - What are they doing?
It's not. I'm innocent.
How low can they go?
Gosh.
I'm Professor Park Ha Na who will help you pass the civil service exam.
Come take my class, please.
I'm Park Ha Na who will help you pass the exam.
Please come take my class.
I'm Park Ha Na who will help you pass the exam.
[Park Ha Na's Powerful Korean!]
The reason why I drink solo is
to stand strong despite tough days.
It's already ten o'clock.
- I'm heading out. - What?
You again? No way!
- I need to go home. - You can't go home.
No way. You can't go.
A day when it's too hard to share a drink with someone else.
It's like a spell that improves my tough life
that I have a hard time accepting.
That's why I'm drinking solo today like this.
Let me go for it again.
Come take Park Ha Na's powerful Korean lecture.
It's Park Ha Na's powerful Korean.
Please come take Park Ha Na's powerful Korean lecture.
A rising star in Korean lecture for the civil service exam.
Please come take Park Ha Na's powerful Korean lecture.
Here. Please come take my class.
Park Ha Na's powerful Korean lecture.
- Hey, Gong Myung. - Teacher.
A rising star in Korean lecture for the civil service exam.
Please come take Park Ha Na's powerful Korean lecture.
Here. Please come take my class.
It's Park Ha Na's strong Korean lecture.
- Hey, Gong Myung. - Teacher.
- Do you want me to help? - No thanks.
You gave them to people for me this afternoon, didn't you?
I was going to tell you when I saw you tomorrow.
- Don't do that next time. - Why not?
Did Professor Jin say something to you?
No, I just felt bad.
You should be busy studying. You have no time for something like this.
It's okay. I'm not one of those students who studies all the time.
Don't do that. Do your best once you start.
I want you to pass the exam and become a civil servant.
Go in and study.
Hello, I'm Professor Park Ha Na.
Thank you.
Hello, I'm Professor Park Ha Na who will help you pass the exam.
Please come take Park Ha Na's strong Korean. Thank you.
Yes.
When are you coming back, Professor Jin?
I'm on my way home now.
What? You left your briefcase and clothes here.
- I don't know. - It's okay.
If you don't come back...
What is she doing there?
Students, what is a syllable?
It's the smallest part that makes a sound.
Wow, she's good.
Wow, what are you doing?
Can't you see? I'm watching a video to study.
Gosh.
You picked the professor who is just like you, huh?
I will recommend a better instructor.
Take her class.
Don't listen to her class. It's not good.
What?
What do you mean she's not good?
Why do you say that?
She used to work at a local academy in the suburbs.
She didn't go to a good school either.
What does she have that you will need to learn?
So you will have a lot that I can learn?
- What? - Are you even qualified to teach?
You're so biased and judgmental.
When it comes to how you treat me, it shows.
I couldn't get a job, so I'm studying for the civil service exam.
So you think I'm so pathetic, right?
Before you teach people like me
you've never cared enough for them, have you?
What?
I can see she's passionate about teaching us.
To me, she's 100 times better than you.
You took her class for the first time today.
How much passion of hers could you possibly feel?
Ah, because you felt her passion
when she asked you to give away the wet wipes
you went out and did it?
What do you mean she asked me?
I voluntarily went out there and gave them out.
You didn't say something to her, did you?
Don't do that.
She told me I shouldn't have done that.
What?
Gosh, what was that again on top of the gift certificate?
Why didn't she say anything to clarify?
Please come take Park Ha Na's strong Korean.
You too.
It's Park Ha Na's strong Korean. Thank you.
Please come take Park Ha Na's strong Korean. Thank you.
It's Park Ha Na's strong Korean. Thank you.
What is she doing there?
How long has it been since you started studying?
You fell asleep already?
Hey, are you really asleep?
Too much.
Gosh, this is killing me.
No, I might lose these again.
[Professor Jin Jung Seok]
What is this? What's going on?
Hello?
Are you sure you can handle the joint class?
What?
I'm asking if you will do a good job
if you join my joint class.
What? Of course!
I will do my very best!
Your doing your best is a given.
You should do well.
I will give you a chance for two months.
You can't relax yet.
If your lectures aren't good, you're out.
Oh, thank you so much.
I will give a good lecture.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Why thank me?
Wow! What a jackpot!
Jackpot!
[Let's Drink]
He acts all cold, but...
he's so kind, Professor Jin.
Like Jang Geu Rae had Manager Oh
No Geu Rae has Professor Jin.
What would you like to have?
An Americano like how chic you look?
Or a caffé latte like how smooth you are inside?
Get whatever.
I have potential, so I will go get some now.
I only said she had potential. She's all happy.
I might be pregnant.
- What should you do? - What do you mean?
I'm so happy.
- What is this? - Come on, Director Kim.
Aren't you tired?
Go get something to drink.
What manners! I wanted it first.
- I picked it up first. - Seriously.
You take this. You know it's my favorite, right?
- Can I hug you? - What are you doing?
Don't die. Please stay alive.
Please.
Korean teacher.
- Are you okay? - I saw you hurt earlier.
I came because I was worried.
I will find a boyfriend for you.
- Didn't you come alone? - Hello, I'm Jin Gong Myung.
Shall we start working together?
- Have a drink with me. - No thank you.
I heard everything.
You said something...
What are you doing now?
You included me thinking of my potential?
Why did you lie? Why?
- You're such a jerk. - Seriously.
