(Mental Coach Jegal)
(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
The last stage of this training camp is the bungee jump!
Think of the person you each...
want to be the most,
and take the leap with a loud shout!
I want to win a gold medal!
Bungee!
Dad! I love you!
Bungee!
I want to compete at the Olympic Games!
You're doing well, Son Mi Jung!
I love you, Cha Ga Eul!
Good for you, Lee Moo Kyeol!
These are the best times!
Next up is Cha Ga Eul!
Shout out what you want the most!
Bungee!
- Why won't she bungee? - What's wrong?
What are you doing, Ga Eul? Jump!
I can't do it!
No way!
Is she afraid of heights?
I have no idea.
You must be able to jump...
if you're to find the person you want to become!
Shout out what you want,
- and bungee! - You can do it!
I don't want anything!
I guess she's really scared.
I can't do it! No way!
(Episode 10: What Do You Really Want?)
The wind blows through...
Do you want some? Soo Ji packed it for me.
It's good for you and non-fattening. Try it.
It's really tasty.
- Coach. - What?
Why am I like this?
What? Is it about the bungee jump?
That's fine. It's okay to not jump.
Were you afraid of heights?
No.
Why don't I want anything?
I used to want to win a gold medal more than anything.
Now I'm not even sure I want that.
What is it that I really want?
That's what most people are like.
They think they know what they want,
but they want what others want for them,
or what they used to want out of habit or inertia.
People who know what they really want?
They're rare.
Are you like that too?
Of course I am.
So start looking from now on.
For your own answer.
Shall we snack now?
Why not?
It's tasty.
- Coach. - What?
Moo Kyeol and I aren't dating.
What?
Just in case you misunderstand the whole bungee thing.
I guess those two...
have found the best medicine for their slump.
Is there a specific medicine that helps you get out of a slump?
Of course, there is. Love.
If a slump and love have something in common,
it would be that they're swamps that everyone falls into.
The harder you try to break free, the deeper you fall,
and when you first set foot into it,
you don't know it's a swamp.
Once you fall into that swamp,
there's only one way out.
To grab hold of a hand that someone is holding out.
Whose hand that is, you must grab it...
to find out.
Ga Eul.
Yes?
So we're back together now, right?
What?
I said I loved you before I jumped.
That was just a joke that...
It wasn't a joke.
We're back together, right?
Well...
I'm not quite sure, actually.
You know, these days...
If you're not sure, let's find out.
No?
I have an assessment race coming up.
I'm too nervous.
Let's go out after that race.
Whether you win or lose, come to me first, okay?
What?
See you tomorrow.
Then... Goodbye.
Bye.
Jeez...
You startled me.
How long were you here for?
A long time.
Did you make some progress at the camp?
Did you two make up?
Well...
I told her I loved her before the bungee jump.
And? What did Ga Eul say?
Well...
We can't afford to fall in love.
Go for it.
So I can benefit from you slacking off.
So? Will you get back with him?
I don't know.
What do you know?
You're right.
I don't know what it is I want these days.
What do you want?
To win gold.
This might be my last chance.
I need to win an Olympic gold this year.
I'm off to shower.
What I really want.
Goodness...
We can do this tomorrow.
Do we have to do this now, when it's late and we're tired?
Is working late a hobby?
I wanted to talk to you alone.
Alone?
What's this about? It's getting awkward again.
It's about Ga Eul.
What about her?
You didn't feel it?
Feel what?
This is bad.
What is it? Did something bad happen to Ga Eul?
I felt it...
and you didn't, and that's the bad thing.
What did you feel?
That Ga Eul likes you.
What?
What nonsense are you on about?
Was Ga Eul shot in the head?
Why would she like an old man?
You're being so silly right now.
You must be talking about emotional transference.
If that were to happen,
I'll ask for your help as a supervisor right away.
If that happens, you should take over Ga Eul's case.
Okay. I could be mistaken.
But watch Ga Eul closely.
If it is transference, we must change how we deal with her.
Yes, of course. That's natural.
But no, it's not that. Don't be silly.
Ga Eul?
We have the ministry's clearance.
What's the next step?
Sports is like politics.
It's about moving people.
An athlete in a slump...
who struggled growing up overcomes it all to be a success.
And an assemblyman who believed in...
and supported them.
The public loves that kind of story.
It's a great way to transfer their emotions.
They want to cheer for their own struggling selves.
It's not fun if the same person keeps winning.
Just like how it's boring if the same person stays in charge.
I'll come up with a great story for you.
Okay.
New uniform business for the Taekwondo Association.
I'll give you all the support you need,
so I want you to spearhead the project.
- Yes, sir. - And as for this,
have K-One handle it.
Tell Mr. Cha that I'd like to take him out for dinner soon.
Okay, I'll let him know.
When you have some time, look into Seung Min's college admission.
My wife is on my case about it. My goodness.
Oh, sure thing.
I'll make sure you have nothing to worry about, sir.
Take it down a notch. I can see through your moves.
I can't stand her.
Did you see that earlier? Moo Kyeol winked at Ga Eul.
Really? What about Yeo Woon?
Are they really going out or what?
Anyway, how much longer do we have to train without a coach?
Who knows?
Hi, my cuties! How have you been?
Attention.
Bow.
Yes, hi.
My, you all look great.
I bet you've all been slacking off because I wasn't around.
Hey, Ji Young.
You've gained weight.
Clearly, you've been taking it easy.
Let's see. Sun A, you should...
You should work on your thighs.
Ga Eul. Why do you look so upset?
Hey, it's not like you've only known me for a couple of years.
We've been through it all together. Come on.
Smile a little, will you?
This girl and her temper!
Brats like her are the ones that go on to win medals.
Who got hired?
Oh Dal Sung.
I heard he was the only one who applied.
Then what was the point of putting out the hiring notice?
Sit down.
I should go there and warn him.
If he touches the girls once more, I'll formally report him...
- Darn it. - Going there won't change anything.
- I'll go with him. - Okay.
Are you all know,
due to the recent incidents,
people are not supportive of the short-track team.
So as for the upcoming Olympics,
we'll forget about your rankings in the national team selection.
Only those with the best records in the present moment...
will get to participate in the Olympics.
Win all the medals at the Olympics...
and prove to the people that they were worried for nothing.
In the present moment?
So we'll have another selection race?
Every moment will be like another selection race.
Forget about your previous rankings.
From now on, we'll figure out who's the fastest.
We'll start with a selection race.
I'll go over your World Cup scores too...
before I select the three finalists who can participate in the Olympics.
So as of this moment,
every moment will be an endless competition.
- Who says you can do that? - Mr. Jegal, we shouldn't step in...
Endless competition, my foot.
You're using the Olympics...
as an excuse to bring them back under your control.
Does a mere coach have the right to change the selection rules,
set out by the Union?
Look who's talking.
Does a mental coach have the right to meddle in how I manage my team?
So we're even, then.
Shall I call the Union and ask them who is overstepping the bounds more?
You don't need to call the Union.
What?
The selection rules were set out by the Union,
and coaches do not have the authority to change them.
Right, Coach Oh?
You're absolutely right, Mr. Gu.
But the thing is,
we've had too many problems with the short-track team,
so something had to be done. After long and careful consideration,
I granted him full authority over the selection process.
You're no longer the head of the Human Rights Center,
and you're not affiliated with the Skating Union.
You're clearly overstepping your bounds by meddling in...
the short-track team's selection process.
I am affiliated with the Skating Union now.
Nonsense. That's more ridiculous than saying...
Taekwon V fell while doing a double sidekick and rolled on the ice.
What does taekwondo have to do with the short-track team?
I am...
I'm the head of the Skating Union's Management Committee.
What? What's he saying? The head of what?
As of today, the Skating Union is under new management.
Everyone on the board has been let go.
As of today, anything related to the skating teams...
can't be done without my permission.
In short, that's what it means.
Okay?
If you suddenly appoint new management,
we'll lose the sponsors...
and get less support funds.
This is so unfair.
You should've done a better job.
You know that there have been many problems.
The order came from the higher-ups, so I had no choice.
I'm telling you. Assemblyman Park and Mr. Gu are behind this.
Park Sang Do got fired.
They'll fire us too...
so the two of them can take over everything.
I won't go down so easily.
Once the management committee starts stabilizing the Union,
we'll gain back the support we lost.
And if we win some medals,
we can easily win back public opinion.
There's such a thing?
It's like when a company goes into receivership.
There are pros and cons, but...
The Union can benefit from some change and reform,
so it's not a bad thing.
But giving full authority to a coach...
who thinks that every moment is like a selection race...
will make the athletes burn out, don't you think?
It could be a golden opportunity,
to the lower-ranked ones.
It's nothing but the beginning of an endless competition.
- You. - Yes?
You're no longer one of us. You're Moo Kyeol's personal coach.
Do not... Never...
meddle in the skating teams' business.
Yes, sir.
I'm surprised you said yes right away.
Well done. If you went any further, it'd be too much.
Okay.
So this is how they roll?
- Oh Dal Sung is back? - Yes.
They're establishing a management committee for the Union.
Anyway, Gu Tae Man said he granted him full authority.
But I can't let that happen.
Then what will you do?
Full authority, my foot.
I must get rid of him.
But how?
You can't do this.
You promised me that you'd get rid of Oh Dal Sung.
Some stuff happened.
Hey, this is a great thing for your sister.
This way, she'll have the chance to be selected for the Olympics.
It doesn't matter.
It's Oh Dal Sung.
We both know that he'll only pick on Ga Eul.
I am Gu Tae Man.
You don't think I can keep Oh Dal Sung under my control?
Mr. Cha.
Don't worry about Oh Dal Sung. I've got your sister's back.
I can end Oh Dal Sung's career in a flash.
The photo evidence of the match fixing.
I have it, okay?
Oh, that?
Yes, that thing.
Yes! That will do.
It'll shut him up.
Do you think he still has it? What if he got rid of it?
Hey, we're talking about Gu Tae Man here.
I don't know about other things,
but he's extremely calculating.
It can keep Oh Dal Sung under his control,
so why would he get rid of it?
But the problem is that we don't know where it is.
Come on. I can tail him and find out.
I must rebuild my reputation, so I'll find it no matter what.
Okay, Pistol Park. Go ahead and turn on your radar.
My, I can't wait to see what Tae Man is up to.
A hundred million people in the world practice taekwondo.
The uniform should...
It'll be close to eight billion dollars.
It was something about revamping the taekwondo uniform.
He's been busy briefing several companies on the business plan.
I hear it's a state-funded project.
Anyway, he doesn't fail to sign the deal.
(Taekwondo Uniform Replacement Project)
Have you ever seen a hyena
Wondering the woods searching for food?
Hyenas only chase the smell of rotten meat
Rather than a hyena, a leopard is what I want to be
After they sign the contract, they go for drinks.
Even those who seem composed and refined...
party like the worst kinds of pigs.
I almost barfed at the sight.
Where to, sir?
Korea... The Korean Olympic Committee.
Off we go!
Go!
I'll escort you safely to your destination.
Even though he's wasted,
he always returns to the committee...
with the contract in his hands.
Can you guess...
the combination for the safe at the Taekwondo Association?
It's 1, 8, 1, 8.
Gu Tae Man that jerk is such a peabrain.
Why? Oh, why?
That's the only song he sings, and I'm sick of it.
It was his favorite since his days on the national team.
He seems to be keeping all things valuable here.
Now what? Should we get them?
Of course.
Getting into the committee building is a piece of cake.
Call me when he goes for drinks after signing a contract.
Right. Keep up the good work.
I'm sorry Oh Dal Sung, but I just can't let you be.
What the... You startled me!
How long have you been standing there?
I heard, "I'm sorry Oh Dal Sung, but I just can't let you be."
I only meant that in the figurative sense.
I'm warning you. If you cause trouble again...
I won't, all right?
You make it sound like all I do is cause trouble.
- Where are you off to? - To my session with Moo Kyeol.
Got it? I have a session with Moo Kyeol.
I have a feeling he's up to no good though.
Are you sure he's staying out of trouble?
Well...
- Yes. - I see.
- But... - Yes?
It's true that Coach Oh is abusive among other things.
Someone like him having the power to select the team?
Even I can't agree with that.
How can skaters compete in the upcoming Olympics...
without a coach to guide them?
I get that, but...
How about we send him a warning?
We can never interfere with the team's affairs.
One can only hope for Mr. Gu to lay out some ground rules.
We will now begin the in-house evaluation.
The event will be the 1,500m race.
You will lose points...
if you skate slower than your previous record.
Skate faster than your previous record,
and you'll win points.
Coach, that would give those who were slower an advantage.
Don't you think you can beat your own record?
Will you skate slower today?
No.
It becomes a true sport...
when you see yourself as the one to beat.
I am only encouraging you...
to beat your last score even if it's by 0.01 seconds.
It's to also give everyone here a fair chance.
Anyone who gives me attitude will have points deducted.
That was 2 minutes and 19.47 seconds.
You beat your record by 0.02 seconds.
Next.
That was 2 minutes and 20.04 seconds.
You lost to yourself by 0.01 seconds. Next.
Get out of here! Next.
That was 2 minutes and 18.92 seconds.
You lost to yourself by 0.02 seconds. Do better!
That was 2 minutes and 18.39 seconds.
Record maintained.
Shouldn't one train to get better?
Ready.
That was 2 minutes and 18.46 seconds.
Cha Ga Eul, you beat your record by a whopping 1.03 seconds...
and are in second place.
Give it up for Ga Eul.
Why is he timing us...
when short-track is about racing against one another?
Ga Eul's at an advantage since she can't handle the hustle.
He's obviously trying to get Ga Eul on the team.
The 1,500m event is what she specializes in.
Did you see him stop the watch faster for her?
- I'm not sure... - Yes, he definitely did that!
I can't believe Oh Dal Sung.
Four years ago, he favored her as well.
Maybe something's going on between them again.
Who knows?
He could also have been paid off...
by the agency run by Ga Eul's brother.
Good.
Keep the bar closer to you.
Keep going.
Sun A, put more weight on the heels.
Push harder.
- Keep it up. - Sure.
That was 2 minutes and 18.46 seconds.
Cha Ga Eul, you beat your record by a whopping 1.03 seconds...
and are in second place.
Give it up for Ga Eul.
Get a grip on yourself.
- What? - Stay strong.
Let others provoke a sense of rivalry,
and you'll crumble.
Got it.
Who knew that the brat would...
come to me first for a session?
Anyway, it's a great sign.
The mental training camp...
helped build a rapport between us.
Forget about that.
Ga Eul and I are back together. I'm sure you know that.
- So? - "So?"
So... Well...
When and where...
do you think one should have their first kiss?
Unbelievable. Why would you ask me that?
Ask your heart, why don't you?
Moo Kyeol's heart, any suggestions?
What I mean is that...
A romantic relationship and one's performance as an athlete.
That's what I'm curious about.
You can't love someone when you're weak in the mind.
I'm not sure.
I don't recall the last time I was in a relationship.
You haven't been in a relationship before?
At your age?
It's more like nothing made an impression.
Besides, I've always been one to be liked by the same gender.
Look at us.
We were able to build a rapport in no time.
Something must be on your mind.
Just lay it on me.
Forget about it.
Darn it.
Why can't you take a hint?
Come by whenever you want.
Know that I'm always on your side.
You adorable brat. Did you have to leave so soon?
- Sun A. - Yes?
Did you also think Coach Oh was acting strange?
How so?
I would rather die than get involved with him again.
Did you think that he was playing favorites?
Did something happen at the mental training camp?
You came back skating better than ever.
- What's your secret? - As if I'd have one.
Is it the power of love? You and Lee Moo Kyeol, I mean.
I have no idea.
It's hard to know what I'm feeling these days.
Before, all I thought about was winning the gold medal.
But now, even that doesn't feel like something I truly want.
Your finger.
Winning the gold isn't what you want?
Then let me have it instead.
If you're not going to, don't act like it's bothering you.
You being here...
means we have the same goal.
Winning the Olympic gold.
Cha Ga Eul.
Oh Dal Sung called you to his room.
Tell him it's past training hours.
Tell him yourself. Trainer Jang is also downstairs.
The same thing...
might happen again.
Cha Ga Eul wins gold!
She overtakes at the last moment to come first!
Come to my office.
I don't want to.
What? You don't want to?
I won't participate in any strategies.
Hey. I'm not saying...
I'm going to use you as a pacemaker.
I'll make you our team ace.
I still don't want to do it.
Listen.
You're as good as you once were.
You can even beat Yeo Woon.
But it'll be hard on your own.
You need a pacemaker to...
Why are you suddenly treating me like this?
I'm doing this to try to help you win gold!
- Do you not get the... - Coach, nothing physical.
- What? - Don't.
- Relax. - That brat...
If that's all, I'll get going.
What the...
- Darn... - Coach!
Calm down. If you keep doing that,
you'll get reported.
So what? Just do your job.
How am I...
supposed to control the girls?
Jeez.
Mr. Cha.
If this is what she's like, I can't help her even if I want to.
Okay.
Get the strategy set up.
I'll talk to Ga Eul.
Hello?
Weird.
Why won't you talk, Ga Eul?
Ga Eul?
Ga Eul.
Coach.
Where are you?
Tell me.
My goodness.
What is a grown woman sitting in an open area...
crying her eyes out?
What should we do with you?
I wasn't going to cry,
but hearing your voice just made me.
Who on earth upset you this time?
Is something wrong?
Should I just quit?
I wonder what made you want to do that.
I don't think...
it'll ever end.
If I won just one gold,
I thought that would be it.
The end of getting beaten during training,
and fighting the other girls.
I thought my dad, brother, and Mom...
would all get better.
I thought everything would be fine.
Like magic.
But magic doesn't exist.
Once I won gold at the World Championship,
it got worse.
For me at least.
You know I'm the one who got you that gold, right?
So I told myself...
I should get better.
So good that no one can touch me.
Once I win an Olympic gold,
no one will be able to hurt me.
That's the thought that kept me going so far.
But I'm not sure of that anymore.
Will it really end...
once I win an Olympic gold?
Why must I try so hard?
It's Oh Dal Sung again, isn't it?
Look at me.
Listen up, Ga Eul.
Whatever Oh Dal Sung or anyone says,
do whatever you want.
If you want to fight them, fight.
If you want to quit, you can.
If it's what you really want,
I'll back you.
How will you back me?
How do you think? I'll just...
do whatever I can somehow, some way.
Don't let someone like Oh Dal Sung get to you!
Do whatever it is you feel like!
Why are you so nice to me?
That's what a mental coach does.
We're always on the client's side.
You need someone like that in your life...
to have a healthy and strong mindset.
So don't feel intimidated.
Why would you wither away and cry?
Your tears fell like waterfalls.
Don't cry.
Don't cry, Ga Eul.
Today is D-day.
Go on in and sleep well.
Okay.

Are you sure they're partying?
Yes, Soo Ji's at the scene.
Sang Gu's on standby,
and we can earn you 30 minutes.
Okay.
You know the safe's code, right? One, eight, one, eight.
Yes, 1, 8, 1, 8.
What about the gate?
Where are the keys?
Here they are. See you later.
Okay.
Hello, good evening.
(Korean Olympic Committee)
(Welcome to the Korean Olympic Committee.)
I must leave a trace of myself
Professor Gu. Your phone's ringing.
- You have a call. - A handful of... What?
Your phone!
(Taekwondo Association)
I'd like to see you now. Where are you?
Don't ask
Don't ask why I'm climbing
Darn it.
Hello? Seung Ha.
Hi.
Yes, hi, Seung Ha. I'm sorry.
I'm in my office reading something for the Taekwondo Association.
I missed your call. What...
Oh, really?
I'll go to the Taekwondo Association now.
- Now? - Yes.
I need to talk to you about the short-track team. Are you busy now?
No, I'm... Sure.
I'll meet you here, then. Take your time.
- Okay. - Take your time.
All right.
Park Seung Ha wants to see me at this hour?
Oh, why is he leaving already?
Wait, what do I do? Darn it.
Gu Tae Man is on his way there now.
Do it quickly and get out of there.
Darn it. Why isn't this master key working?
(Korean Olympic Committee)
Going up.
That code is not registered.
Gosh.
Doors are opening.
- Oh! - Safe unlocked.
Okay.
Mr. Gu.
- Dr. Park. - Why are you out here?
Oh, I just stepped out to go to the restroom.
- I see. - Let's go inside.
Sure.
Why did I turn off the lights? Hold on.
- Come on in. - Thank you.
- Wow. - Do you want a cup of coffee?
Well, I'll just have some water.
Okay.
Is sparkling water okay?
- Yes, sure. - Okay.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing over there?
Wow, there are so many medals and awards.
Very cool.
Oh, that. This is the Taekwondo Association's office.
There's a medal that I won too.
- If you see... - Oh, actually...
Can we talk somewhere outside?
What?
You said you wanted to talk somewhere quiet.
Right, I did.
Let's just talk here.
Okay, sure.
You can sit here.
Okay.
Well...
So? What did you want to talk to me about?
Oh, it's about Coach Oh Dal Sung.
Could you give him a warning?
Another scandal about him hitting the girls or about match fixing...
will put you and the Olympic Committee in a worse spot.
Get him out of here!
What am I supposed to do?
Well, if that's what you wanted to talk about...
- I'm a little disappointed. - Sorry?
I was expecting something else.
Something else? Like what?
For example...
Well, you know.
About us?
Oh, boy. Yes.
That's right.
Didn't you know that I was interested in you?
Gosh.
Well...
What...
If you want to talk about that...
Then...
Let's talk outside.
I don't feel comfortable talking in private like this.
Oh, shall we?
Why don't we talk outside?
- Okay, let's do that. - Okay.
Is there a specific place you wanted to check out?
Oh, I don't care. We can go anywhere.
Then do you like wine?
So you broke into his office...
to find this?
This is ours to begin with.
Gu Tae Man stole the photo we took.
He said he'd submit it to the prosecution but didn't...
Mr. Jegal.
Do you actually think this will help the athletes?
Then what about you, Dr. Park?
Why did you go there to meet him?
I went there to talk to him to ask a favor of him...
It's not like he'll listen and do you a favor.
Didn't you hear what he said earlier?
What? He's interested in you? All of a sudden?
It's not sudden. He's been trying to hint at me.
Oh, it's not sudden? I did not know that.
I should really learn to read the room.
I'm so slow-witted!
That's not what I meant...
Darn, stop trying to change the subject!
The important thing here is that what you did is illegal.
Here's something more important.
Oh Dal Sung is still picking on the girls on his team.
Okay, so what if we get rid of him? What will the team do?
Will they participate in the Olympics without a coach?
Sure, why not?
They'll be better off without a coach who hits them.
Stop talking nonsense.
I was right.
You really aren't fully cured yet.
That's why you didn't even hesitate to do something illegal!
Why are you suddenly bringing that up?
Anyway, I cannot let Oh Dal Sung work in this industry.
Sure, call me crazy. I'll go ahead and do crazy things.
You can report me if you want. I don't care.
If you want to get rid of Oh Dal Sung...
and get back at Gu Tae Man, go for it.
However,
don't say that you're doing it for the athletes' sake.
I know Oh Dal Sung is a jerk, but it's better than not having a coach.
So you don't care if they train...
with a jerk like him if he can help them win medals?
That's not what I meant.
What I meant was that you shouldn't rob them...
of the opportunity to decide what to do...
with a coach like him.
She sounds so scary.
What was she saying? She's so obnoxious.
We only retrieved what he illegally took from us.
It was mine to begin with.
She's not a former athlete, right?
At a glance, I can tell that she's clueless.
That's enough. Go get some booze.
What does she even know about the pain of being an athlete?
Decide what? When your coach is a total jerk,
you have a mental breakdown and feel like you can do nothing.
She's clueless.
I agree with you for a change.
So? Should I tell some reporters to publish an article about it?
No, leave it. I'll submit it to the prosecution tomorrow.
I'll send it to the prosecutor in charge of the case.
What? You're not drinking?
No, I'm good.
You told me to go get booze!
If you want to get rid of Oh Dal Sung...
and get back at Gu Tae Man, go for it.
However, don't say that you're doing it for the athletes' sake.
I know Oh Dal Sung is a jerk, but it's better than not having a coach.
They don't need a coach like him.
Your coach will give you all the support you need.
He's got your back. Who do you think you are?
Am I to agree to whatever he suggests...
just because he's my coach?
Only Han Yeo Woon...
is in your way of the Olympic gold.
He's willing to help you do that.
You should do whatever he suggests.
Whatever?
Letting him summon me around...
is how I ended up...
Should I die if he tells me to?
Coach Jegal never said any of this.
He told me to find what I truly wanted for myself.
He isn't like you at all.
Why must I?
Either way, you're in the same position.
You of all people know that Ga Eul lacks points.
You're friends, aren't you?
That's why I should be her pacemaker?
Just hear me out, will you?
Yeo Woon already won three major medals...
and is an Olympic gold medalist.
Of course you'd want to help out...
someone on your team.
You were friends since childhood...
and trained directly under me.
As a duo, you can...
If that's the case,
I'll quit...
being her friend.
What the...
This is exactly why these girls need discipline!
Darn those brats.
Sun A's mother? This is Oh Dal Sung. Have you been well?
(Today's emotion journal)
(What I truly want)
Moo Tae, I...
Rather than focusing on medals,
I want to enjoy being out on the ice.
Having fun?
As if such a thing exists.
This isn't some school field day.
Fun is for those who do this as a pastime!
You know you're not taken seriously...
if you retire without winning medals.
Dad and I are proof of that!
Moo Tae...
Listen to me, darn it!
Consider our parents.
Got it?
No, I don't want to.
I said no. Why should I?
Just do it this one time.
What could be better...
than you two teaming up to eliminate Yeo Woon?
Didn't you once tell me to beat Ga Eul?
You drove me crazy by comparing me to her.
What is it that you actually want?
Me beating her?
Us eliminating Yeo Woon?
You have no chance of taking on Yeo Woon yourself.
Help Ga Eul train until the World Cup.
In the Olympics, Ga Eul will return the favor.
Mom, please.
I'm suggesting this for your sake, not mine.
Me and you.
What is it that we truly want?
Hold on. Moo Kyeol, what brings you by?
Don't you have training this morning?
I asked for a pass.
How can I miss both my best friend and Ga Eul skating?
Wouldn't that put you on the spot?
Who will you cheer for?
Ga Eul, of course.
Because you like her?
Yeo Woon wins every event...
even without my support.
By the way, hasn't Coach Jegal come by?
Beats me. He must actually be wreaking havoc.
What do you mean?
Nothing. Shall we?
Sure.
(2022 World Cup Team Selection)
Yeo Woon seems different today.
She should be nervous.
Even the best needs competition in order to get better.
Watch carefully today.
The beauty of sports...
is in the overtaking.
Go, Ga Eul!
Yeo Woon, you too.
It'll be fun today, don't you think?
Go to the start.
Ready.
If you turn in the evidence,
you'll have to quit as a mental coach...
for interfering with the team's business.
Go ahead if you value justice...
over athletes.
All right, let's pick up the pace.
Sun A, from start to finish, you will irritate Yeo Woon.
During the final lap,
you will take the inner lane.
And that's when you'll cut in front of all of them.
Listen up, Ga Eul.
Whatever Oh Dal Sung or anyone says,
do whatever you want.
If you want to fight them, fight.
If you want to quit, you can.
If it's what you really want,
I'll back you.
I'll skate how I see fit.
So you...
can do the same.
Ga Eul, you...
The outer lane? Seriously?
It's up to them to find their own paths.
- Yeo Woon! - Ga Eul!
(Dr. Park)
Yes, Dr. Park.
Once in a while, I have nightmares.
Of losing someone.
Who could that be?
I don't know. I can't see his or her face.
What if I mess up...
and lose that kid too?
I get scared.
- Which one of them got hurt? - I don't know.
She's bleeding badly though.
Yeo Woon, are you all right?
Over here.
Look at you bleeding.
- We'll move her first. - Sure.
I'm fine.
It's only a flesh wound, and I can walk.
Are you sure you can walk?
This isn't anything new.
Go to Ga Eul and stop worrying about me.
This way, please.
Why did you take the outer lane?
You were supposed to overtake her by skating in the inner lane!
And why didn't you make room for her?
You should've stuck to the plan.
Going rogue is what led to this disaster...
Don't you dare hit her!
I'll call the police.
What did you just say?
That I'll report you.
Get back in there.
Go!
Yes, and ask for Dr. Park.
You have some nerve.
You're coming with me.
This hallway is being recorded!
You crazy brat...
- Are you all right? - Coach.
Why you...
You were caught on camera.
This time around, I'll have you fired.
The media will have a field day with you.
Is this the police?
Yes, call them over.
I'll turn in the evidence...
that I never got to.
Why is that in your possession?
That's none of your business.
There's only one reason I haven't turned you in.
It's because...
getting rid of you isn't what I ultimately want.
It's because I want to help the athletes make the right choice.
I got you real good this time.
If you get it,
stop grimacing and go to the girl that got hurt.
Darn it!
Are you okay?
Goodness.
You're fine.
Are you in pain?
Coach. I know what it is.
What it is I really want.
What I really want...
is to skate however I want.
I don't want to care about medals.
I'll just enjoy skating as it is.
I'll be a really happy athlete.
Good. You got the right answer.
There's something else I just figured out.
Okay. What's that?
I love you, coach.
What?
I love you.
My head hurts.
Goodness.
(Mental Coach Jegal)
It's not true love.
When my heart's pounding like this?
Do you have feelings for that kid?
She really is pretty.
I have lots of haters.
They say I'm not that good and I get good marks with my looks.
If not for you,
I wouldn't have gotten hurt and this wouldn't have happened!
Did you make a deal with Oh Dal Sung?
If my liking you is a problem, I won't like you.
I think I found a way, coach.
I want to give up.
I was always a little too late.
