Your hair...
Hey. Son Jin.
Dong Moon. What are you doing here?
- Hypocrite. - What? Hypocrite?
Hey, what is that?
Hey. Hold on.
Hey. Stop.
Dong Moon.
Dong Moon, stop.
Look.
Don't you dare come onto Jung Hee again.
I really won't forgive you.
Got it?
Dong Moon.
What are you doing here?
What?
- You again? - Did you follow me here?
That's not it.
I wasn't following you, I...
- Jung Hee! - Number three.
We're in trouble. You need to go home.
What is it?
Bong Soo is about to die.
What?
You call yourself a human being?
Are you really my one and only son?
After all I did to get here,
how could my only son be so pathetic?
Whom can I live for? I should just die.
- Get up! - Mr. Lee.
Why are you doing this so early in the morning?
Your son needs to go to school.
School? He doesn't need school.
Are you even paying attention to your son?
You don't know if he is at the study room...
or hanging out at some random place.
You call yourself a mom?
I'm a moron.
I'm not a mom. I'm a moron. So what?
Okay. So stay out of it.
Stand. Stand straight! I'll break your fingers!
- Stand. - Stop it!
Stop hitting him!
Father.
Where are you coming from?
Did you take away his pass to the study room?
I didn't take it away.
He told me to go...
That's because he's immature.
How could you take it?
How dare a chick stay out all night?
It's not like I was playing.
- I was studying. - What?
So why did you send only him to a study room,
and not me?
What did you just say?
- Stop it. - I told you...
to be grateful I sent you to school.
How dare you...
Get over here.
Stand right here. Now.
No!
- I did nothing wrong. - What?
Don't take out your anger at Bong Soon on me.
Lee Jung Hee. Where are you going?
Stop right there! Get over here!
Get over here.
- Stop it. - Get over here.
No!
I have no reason to be hit and did nothing wrong!
- Don't do this. - Move, will you?
- Open the door. Now! - Father.
Open the door right now!
Why you...
Open the door before I break it down!
Father, please!
I was wrong! Hit me instead!
What if our Bong Soo dies?
- Move. - Oh no.
I'm sorry, Father!
Let go.
You brat!
Let's go die together!
- Let's die. - Mom!
Let's die. Let's die together!
- What are you doing? - Let's die!
- Stop it. - You useless...
If you were going to be treated like trash,
you should've died in my belly!
Why were you even born?
You're nothing but a pain in the neck!
Die.
- Let's die together. - I said to stop!
- Die! - Stop it!
I know that's targeted at me, okay?
It's all my fault.
I'm a loser. Happy?
That's enough.
Father!
Jung Hee, are you okay?
What is this?
Why are you lying down in here?
Does it hurt? Your back.
It doesn't hurt at all.
I've been hit by you too many times.
Don't you have any fears?
How can you spend a night where it's full of boys?
Don't worry.
I won't go there starting today.
Jung Hee.
I made breakfast at the factory.
- Eat it. - That's okay.
I'm just going to go.
Eat it before you go.
Forget it.
Eat it.
You got a beating so early in the morning.
You must be exhausted.
Did Dong Moon come all the way here?
Yes. He was worried about you.
He's so nosy.
Did Bong Soo...
get beat a lot?
Yes. He probably can't walk ever again.
Really?
He can't walk?
Oh no.
Stay still, will you?
It hurts so much. Are you trying to kill me?
Did you get caught...
- reading comic books? - Yes.
How did my dad know? No one knows about it.
He's like a Japanese policeman.
It's all your fault.
Jung Hee got hit because of you too.
Hey! Why did you hit me there?
What happened?
- Salute. - Is Jung Hee okay?
Yes, she's fine, but I'm not...
Why are you asking?
What?
Bae Dong Moon. Have you been training?
I told you, haven't I?
Please be clear about how you act.
- You said you like her? - Yes.
Whenever she's about to find peace,
- you keep on... - Dong Moon.
That's not how you love someone.
- Pardon? - It's not love...
just because you like someone.
You should look at the other person.
If they don't want you, you should step back.
That's love.
Is that why...
you're watching Hae Joo...
from a distance?
She won't budge,
so you're avoiding her because of your pride.
You're pretty daring.
I'll be open with you.
You're nothing to Jung Hee.
That's why you should stop being pathetic...
and give up what you can't have.
You'll be late. Go in.
It's not right to give up...
just because it's not easy.
Also,
how are you so sure if I really am...
a nobody to her...
or if I'll become someone?
I like that.
You're optimistic.
Good luck.
Dong Moon, you're really something.
When can I have a presence like him?
No, you did well.
Come here. Good job.
Park Hae Joo's dad...
- is a communist? - Yes.
As far as we know, he was a professor in Seoul.
He's taking a year off for his break.
It's not a break, he was fired.
He commented on the current situation,
and helped the students that protested.
This is what happened.
Write this down.
Park Hae Joo.
Hey.
Yes.
Is your father doing well?
Pardon?
Yes.
Did you watch the television yesterday?
Yoon Seul was on.
Of course I saw it.
How can someone be so handsome?
Wait. Hae Joo.
You're on the day show today.
You have to eat your lunch fast.
- That's right. - What about lunch?
I don't feel like eating.
Ki Ryuh.
This is all I could bring.
- I'm sorry. - Thank you.
She doesn't pack lunch these days.
She brings me this.
Why not?
I don't know.
She must have a lot on her mind.
JHBS.
Jeonghyeon Girls High broadcasting service.
We'll now begin our day show.
Hello, fellow students.
- Nice. - Long time no see.
- Did you hear a magpie... - I have a favor to ask.
Cry on your way to school today?
I don't know him.
They say it means the one you're waiting for...
- will come back. - If you see him...
I hope the person you're waiting for...
will come back too.
I'll play the first song.
Paul Anka's "Papa".
Hae Joo, that man will stay with us.
You can't tell anyone about it.
I'm okay.
Let's eat.
I haven't eaten yet either.
Did something happen at home?
This is good.
- Thank you. - Don't lie.
You're hardly eating anything.
Please give me a box of pads.
Did Hae Joo eat your lunch?
She picked on it. She didn't want to eat.
She wouldn't tell me what's going on.
Could it be because of Jin?
It's not like that.
Eng Cho, let's do a good job.
Don't worry.
You're so cute.
Go in.
Hey, sister. It's me.
Hae Joo. Hae Joo.
Eng Cho.
Have you been well?
Hae Joo, do you have any food at home?
Did you skip your meal?
Young Choon...
is too busy to make me food.
Is that so?
Let's go inside. I'll make you food.
Okay.
Good luck.
Enjoy.
No.
If you won't eat, I won't eat either.
Let's take turns having a spoonful.
Okay?
Is that what Young Choon told you to do?
Yes.
Fine.
I'll have a bite first.
One for you.
Is it good?
Yes.
What's the use?
I'm only agonized.
It was only a dream.
Mom, can't you knock?
What?
Why aren't you going out to study...
dressed like you're a guy?
I told you I won't go.
How can I go to a study room?
Go.
It's okay.
I don't want Dad to beat me.
I'll get beat instead of you.
If you talked back to your Dad,
then show him some results.
However, don't stay up all night.
Come back before curfew with Bong Soo.
How can a girl stay out all night?
Hey, pack some snacks for Jung Hee!
Yes, ma'am.
(Study Room)
Right, it's not this way.
Jung Hee.
Jin.
Are you not studying here tonight?
I just registered for the girls' room.
Did you?
Come see me on the roof in about two hours.
- Pardon? - I have something.
Okay.
Jung Hee,
don't be so easily swayed.
Two hours later?
(Two hours later)
Two hours later, rooftop.
Jin and Jung Hee will meet.
Here you go.
Have a good night.
- Take care. - Goodnight.
Bye.
Thank you.
Eng Cho.
She wouldn't know even if she was kidnapped.
Let her sleep.
Give her to me. I'll put her in the room.
Eng Cho.
Hey...
My friend runs a pool hall near the university.
I asked him...
to look for your father.
Thank you, mister...
Thank you.
Don't thank me.
I didn't do anything.
Have this.
I'm all right.
Have it. I already opened it.
Okay.
Gosh.
You should be careful.
Here.
This is the sample test for juniors.
Did you...
bring this for me on purpose?
Yes.
I'm not sure if it'll be helpful...
since we go to different schools.
Thank you.
If you have any questions,
you can always ask me.
Jin.
- Why are you here? - I registered too.
Jin, I have a question.
Can I ask you?
This is X.
If this happens,
Y equals...
Wait.
Something looks wrong.
Maybe this workbook has an error.
You must be right. It's probably an error.
Right. Maybe we should go like this.
This is not X.
Take it like this, so Y....
It's either 0 or 3.
You solved it.
Wow, Dong Moon.
- Dong Moon. - Yes?
Does it feel good to make a fool of me?
Yes. It feels good.
Hey.
All right.
Today is the day.
Keep your eyes wide open,
and give it your best to answer the questions.
Ready, start.
Hae Joo? Isn't she the one that came from Seoul...
and came over to our place?
That's her. She's pretty.
And she's getting on with Young Choon?
Yes. I saw them talk in his pharmacy.
I saw it with my own eyes.
No way.
Young Choon has a sister named Eng Cho, right?
Hae Joo brought her...
on her back like this.
They are so in love.
Keep on rolling my hair.
They say it's always the quiet ones...
that make trouble.
Jung Hee, are you going out to study?
Yes.
Jung Hee.
What?
Don't hang out with Hae Joo anymore.
She's dating Young Choon.
It's not like that.
Young Choon's sister, Eng Cho,
seems to like Hae Joo.
- Hae Joo is so nice. - Gibberish.
You need to be careful of the nice girls.
Nice and pretty girls...
go around stealing other people's husbands.
- That's not right. - It's true.
Then Auntie must've stolen hundreds of husbands.
She's pretty and nice.
- I'm not nice. - Regardless,
Hae Joo isn't like that.
Don't go around saying that.
"Don't go around"? Am I your friend?
What gibberish.
Don't hang out with that girl Hae Joo.
I hear she's dating Young Choon.
Stupid. Just what did she do?
Hae Joo.
- Jung Hee. - Is...
something wrong?
Your father hasn't come home?
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I just couldn't.
Jung Hee.
You can't...
tell anyone about this, okay?
What do I do?
Jung Hee.
Jin.
Is something wrong?
What is it?
Well...
Hae Joo's father?
I heard your father was the chief of police.
I was wondering...
if he could help.
Yes, sure.
I'll ask.
You can't tell anyone else about this,
- okay? - Okay.
You have to keep it a secret too.
Okay.
I thought that was the best thing back then.
I was just slightly uncomfortable...
that Jin and Hae Joo may see each other again...
because of this.
Jung Hee.
Aren't you going to study?
- What? - Is something wrong?
Did you bomb your test?
It'll be fine, right?
What? What will?
Nothing.
You did well.
You don't even know what it is.
Anything you do is good.
You did a good job, Lee Jung Hee.
Yes, hello?
Yes. Young Choon?
Just a minute.
- Is that for me? - Here.
Hello?
Yes.
What?
Where are you going?
What? Park Jin Soo was released?
- When? - Park Jin Soo.
- Hae Joo's father? - And his guilt?
What? Not guilty?
How could he be not guilty?
I had no idea.
I didn't know...
Hae Joo was having such a hard time.
Hae Joo.
- Which way? - Over here.
Can you hold him?
Dad.
What happened?
He was passed out...
at the bus terminal.
Dad.
Jin.
Jung Hee.
Are you heading home?
Yes.
Hae Joo's father came back.
He did?
Because you helped...
No.
I...
couldn't help at all.
That's right.
Jin...
still liked Hae Joo.
Just as I still liked him.
Good job, everyone.
Exams are finally over.
Freedom!
Should we go watch a movie today?
Sounds good. Jung Hee, go with us.
No. I want to rest.
Brat.
You stayed up all night again, didn't you?
You'll become the top student at that rate.
What? Hae Joo is the top student.
Look.
She's exhausted from studying all night.
She didn't study all night.
This morning, my mom saw...
Young Choon leave Hae Joo's house.
Really?
What do you mean?
Hey. Get your mom glasses.
No, it's true.
- It is not. - It is too.
This is better.
This is number two.
- Hae Joo. - Hey.
Did you do well on the exam?
Yes. Sort of.
My dad came home.
Really? That's great.
That's really great.
What?
Is something else wrong?
No.
Thanks for worrying.
- A thug? - Yes.
Every thug in Daegu knows Young Choon.
That little scumbag.
I know!
That isn't all.
You know that little girl, supposedly his sister?
- Yes. - That kid...
- What is it? - They say she's his kid.
Hello.
You know me, right?
I know...
you helped Hae Joo.
Thank you.
But I'd like you to be more careful...
about what people may think.
What people may think?
Not what you think?
- That's not it. - I hear...
you're the police chief's son.
Can the police chief's son...
meet with a thug like me...
in public like this?
Can you?
So many people can see.
Hey, kid.
Don't act tough in front of me,
and go home and study.
Hae Joo.
I hear Young Choon is a thug.
He hangs out with...
Young Choon isn't like that.
He helped me a lot...
when things were tough for me.
That's because...
he had bad intentions toward you.
He really...
isn't like that.
He is...
a good person.
I really...
mean nothing to you...
even now.
- Father. - You.
I told you...
not to do anything to destroy my life!
Why do you keep going to that communist's house?
If you keep disobeying me,
I can take extreme measures.
Understand?
We have the results of the midterms.
I actually expected...
great things from you.
I was a stupid pig, a rat.
Once again, our class, without fail,
came in last.
Funny, right, punk?
There was one girl...
who disappointed me like crazy.
Her name is...
Why you little...
Hae Joo.
- Hey, Hae Joo. - Yes?
Did you cheat at your old school?
How could the top scorer in the country...
not make top 30 in this stupid class?
- What? - What?
- Really? - What?
Oh, my gosh.
There is...
one person...
who provided me a sliver of comfort.
Her name is...
Jung Hee.
Jung Hee went up...
a whopping 230 spots.
And came in seventh in our class.
- Wow. - Nice.
Seriously...
Anyway, you should give congratulations when due.
Okay. Let's give Jung Hee a round of applause.
What's this?
Seventh? Seventh in your class?
You brat.
You faked this!
I did not. Ask my homeroom teacher.
Hey!
Jung Hee came in seventh! Seventh!
Oh my gosh!
- Where? - Look here. Seventh.
Jung Hee. You did great.
What's this?
Father, did you see?
I can do well too.
Bong Soo. What did you place?
Tell me.
The same as before.
The same?
Then 40...
Why you little...
Come on. Calm down.
First, you should compliment Jung Hee.
We never had...
anyone who did this well in school before.
You loser. You're worse than a girl.
Darn it.
Father!
What?
Why won't you compliment me?
Good job.
Wait. Since I did well,
I want a gift.
Don't be stupid.
- Here, here. - Forget it.
Not money.
Then what?
From now on,
treat me the same...
as Bong Soo.
Instead of saying, "a girl' this,
"a girl" that.
Has this girl gone insane?
You should feel bad for discouraging Bong Soo.
Father!
You brat.
Why did you ruin it after working so hard?
Here. Here. Take this.
Take this!
Shall I bring it to her?
Shut it.
(Rank 7 out of 64)
I...
really hate my father.
I can't stand him.
Does it hurt that much to compliment Jung Hee...
for doing a good job?
It's a given for a student to do well in school.
If it were Bong Soo,
you would've cooked an entire pig.
There's no point in a girl doing well in school.
It'll only make her life more difficult.
Then what?
Am I living it up because I didn't study?
How dare you...
Where are you going?
I'm going to sleep...
with the other witch with a cruddy life.
Darn it.
Why did she have to get her smarts from me?
It's cramped.
Jung Hee.
Want some new clothes?
A name brand?
Really?
Then buy me two.
A t-shirt and a blouse.
Get just one, you brat.
You did well.
You didn't get much milk when you were a baby...
because of your brother,
and were always weak.
I wondered if you'd survive in this world.
You did well.
Good night.
Mom.
What?
Give me my milk now.
Are you insane?
You're all grown up. Hey!
- I want my milk. - Let go!
Have you lost your mind? That tickles.
Straps?
It's my gift to you...
for doing well on your exams.
Auntie. How did you know it was my dream...
to wear a strappy undershirt?
Do you like it?
It's super pretty.
Auntie!
The police sent us this notice.
Sir.
Even if Hae Joo's father...
commit an act of communism...
Not "even if". It's the truth.
Regardless, that's an adult matter.
What do the kids know?
Mr. Oh.
Don't you watch the news about North Korea?
Communism seeps through adults and children...
and dyes them all red without discrimination.
So,
you must record everything Hae Joo does...
and report them to me from now on.
Understand?
Jung Hee. Hae Joo.
Gwi Ja. Sit down.
The rest of you, take the position.
Hold the chalk and take the position.
You agreed not to give that punishment anymore.
Positions.
- Mr. Oh. - Positions!
Okay.
Ready?
Mr. Oh.
You promised not to do this.
When did I do that?
You demanded it of me.
But you said you wouldn't do it.
- You agreed... - I had said I wouldn't,
but I have decided to do it again.
To you guys...
who maintained last place on the midterms,
this is the only solution.
Okay. Get ready.
Mr. Oh.
But still, this punishment is wrong.
Wrong?
It's not like you're being punished.
Why do you care so much?
I may not be the one being punished,
but seeing my friends receive such unjust...
Just do it already.
Ae Sook, sit down.
The rest of you too. Sit down.
Then today,
your Joan of Arc,
Hae Joo, will receive the punishment instead.
Step forward.
Step forward now!
I will take the punishment on their behalf.
However,
I refuse that punishment method.
You do?
Then will you receive any other method...
gladly?
Yes.
Fine.
Then...
in exchange for the ones who should've...
been punished today,
as well as...
for the ones who will deserve...
the punishment going forward,
Hae Joo will take 100 laps...
around the yard.
Go now!
Mr. Oh.
It's raining out.
So what if it's raining?
Do you want to run with Hae Joo?
Anyone else?
Anyone who agrees with Hae Joo...
may go run with her right now!
Anyone?
See that?
This is why you should know your place.
You talk about humiliation and insult...
to try to help these pigs here,
but they aren't grateful to you one bit.
This is how the world works.
Go to the school yard now.
Go right now!
Mr. Oh.
Okay. Page 63.
Mr. Oh!
Yes, Jung Hee. Do you have a question?
My goodness.
Jung Hee...
finally became interested in studying.
This is great. What is it?
I'll...
go with her.
Where?
Jung Hee. What are you doing?
Jung Hee. Hey.
Hey, Jung Hee. Jung Hee!
Jung Hee!
Why did you come after me?
I didn't come after you.
I came out because...
I couldn't agree with Mr. Oh.
I had hated Hae Joo again.
I couldn't receive Jin's love...
no matter what I did,
but Hae Joo had it,
so I hate her.
However,
I couldn't watch her...
fight by herself.
I have no idea why.
Did you finish?
Yes.
You may go home.
I heard you were punished.
Why are you here?
It's embarrassing.
Let's go.
You want me to use it by myself?
What if a teacher sees us using it together?
Let's go.
Share it with me.
If I get caught, I'll just be punished again.
I'm not scared one bit.
Okay.
Let's go.
Jung Hee.
I meant to pick you up.
You'll catch a cold. Take a shower.
What's wrong? Are you hurt?
No.
Oh, my gosh.
Jung Hee.
We're friends now, right?
Auntie. I need to step out.
Where are you going like that? Jung Hee.
(Pharmacy)
I should've stayed with her.
Don't cry.
(Girls' Generation 1979)
Stop following me.
You're annoying me.
I warned you...
to stay away from Young Choon.
A date? With Jin?
They took the bus and went far, far away.
They're very meticulous.
Dong Moon?
Jin is transferring to a school in Seoul.
Then, was that...
the last time?
