(Mental Coach Jegal)
(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
Jegal Gil!
Gil, wake up!
There were such days long ago.
Gil!
- Why did you do this? Wake up! - There were days...
when I didn't exactly want to die, but I didn't want to live either.
What have you done? Wake up, Gil!
I didn't want to wake up in the morning,
and I was too afraid to go to sleep at night.
Why do you do this to me?
You're my first patient.
Why do you keep trying to die?
I'm doing all I can to try to save you.
Why do you keep trying to die?
If you want to die that badly,
go somewhere I won't find you and actually die.
Why do you keep doing this around me?
What do you want me to do?
Even then, I couldn't cry for myself.
In front of a woman my age who was crying for me,
- Go somewhere and die. - I felt too ashamed.
If I couldn't die, I should try to live.
If I was going to live,
I might as well look good doing it.
That's what I told myself.
Jegal Gil!
Gil, wake up!
- Gil! - Get out of here, now!
Gil, open your eyes. Wake up.
Please... Gil.
Why right now,
when I'm at my worst...
am I thinking of the day...
- I decided to live? - Gil.
Wake up, Gil.
Gil.
You must leave.
Don't you see he's hurt?
The police are coming. If they find you here...
I'm a doctor and I called the police.
He might die if I leave him here.
I'm a doctor, and I have a duty to look after him.
- Let's go. You must leave! - Gil!
Let go of me! Gil!
I'm staying. Let go!
When there was nothing I could do,
when I was utterly powerless,
I thought for the first time.
Let me go!
I'm not living because I can't die.
Let go.
I'm not living just to save face.
She said let go.
- Gil. - Gil.
Gil. Stay with me. Gil!
So don't you get timid and back away.
I like you right now, not later.
No one knows what'll happen later.
I just...
want to live.
There's so much I haven't done yet.
- Jegal. - Wake up!
- I don't care if I'm embarrassed. - Gil!
I just...
want to live.
(Episode 16: The Special Moment When You Choose Love)
You're afraid of me.
You were afraid I'd tell the world what you did,
and that's why you bullied me.
I'm not the one who should tremble in fear. It's you.
- Cha Ga Eul. - You said that...
as long as you were around, I'd never make it.
Listen up, Oh Dal Sung.
As long as I'm around,
you'll never be able to coach again.
I'll tell the whole world...
you're a sexual predator.
It could be courageous of you to turn yourself in before that.
Stop where you are.
Stop.
I told you to stop.
A sexual predator? You assaulted her?
How could you do that...
to my precious daughter?
I didn't know what you'd done. I had no idea.
- It's not like that at all. - Die, just die!
- Die, you scumbag! - Stop it.
Are you out of your mind, woman?
Lady. This is a one-sided attack.
Do you think you can win a fight against me?
Shall I fight back and make it a two-way?
Yes, let's do that.
I will kill you and fall into the fiery pit.
Woman, how dare you...
If you lay a finger on my mom,
I will call the police now and tell them everything.
Hey, do you think people will believe everything you say?
I've got things to say too.
"That girl should've watched her conduct."
You don't think people will say that?
Hey, lady. Your daughter's future will be doomed too.
- Mom. - You jerk!
Ga Eul, call the police.
The whole world should see what kind of a scumbag he is.
Hey, your short-track career is over now.
I'll make sure you can never set foot in this industry again.
Hey, I'll bury you alive!
If you show up in front of my daughter again,
I'll pull out your intestines and choke you to death.
You disgusting scumbag!
You deserve to be shredded to pieces!
Mom.
Don't even call me "Mom."
Mom.
You should've told me.
You should've come to me first.
I am your mom.
I am...
your mother.
Even after going through something like that,
how could you not tell me and keep it bottled up inside?
How were you going to deal with it all on your own?
I'm sorry, Mom.
Why are you sorry?
You did nothing wrong.
It's all my fault.
I call myself your mother,
yet I knew nothing.
I had no idea what my dear daughter was going through all alone.
I'm sorry.
Mom...
It's okay.
You're okay now.
I will...
I'll keep you safe.
- It's okay. - Mom...
Yes.
It's okay. You're safe now.
Mom...
(Operating Room)
(Restricted Area)
What happened?
Well, it's...
Who did this?
Who did this to Gil?
- Your father did this, right? - Hey!
- Hey, calm down. - Answer me!
- Hey, let go! - Answer me!
I feel so bad for Gil. What will you do about this?
- Hey! - Stop!
Hey, where are you?
Gil...
He'll be okay, right?
Hey, don't you know that his head is rock-hard?
Out of everyone I've met at the training center,
he had the hardest head.
My hand hurt when I hit him in the head.
My hand is sore now that I've used my fist for a change.
If your hand hurt that much,
why were you always so eager to hit your juniors?
Well, just because.
Maybe it's because I didn't want to be the only one getting hit?
Back in the day, everyone got hit while training.
Why?
Did it hurt?
That's secondary.
I thought it was unfair.
If that was the case,
why didn't you punch me?
Back then, my legs wobbled at the sight of you.
I felt intimidated for no reason.
I even had dreams where you were holding...
a baseball bat.
Hey, have you lost your mind?
Oh, you said I should just punch you. I'm sorry.
Hey! I was talking about back then. I never told you to punch me now.
Hey, am I bleeding? Darn it.
You're chuckling? My gosh.
Finally,
I feel like you really are my senior.
My gosh.
Goodness.
Well...
I'm sorry.
What?
Thank you.
Goodness.
But that apology...
Can you say that to Gil?
When he wakes up.
Ga Eul.
Moo Tae.
Are you all right?
I'm fine. I told you that you didn't need to come here.
What about Coach? He's okay too, right?
Where is he?
Is it raining or what?
Why are you crying nonstop?
What is it, this time?
Did your annoying chief chew you out again or something?
What do you mean, Mr. Jegal?
Look, here. How many fingers do you see?
No. What year are we in right now?
Do you not remember how you ended up here?
No, I don't.
What? You don't remember?
I was just joking.
Gosh, seriously... You scared me!
You hurt your head.
You kept crying nonstop.
I cracked a joke so you'd stop crying.
I'm really sorry...
What? Why are you sorry?
Before things got to this,
I should've stopped them no matter what.
I really should have.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for everything.
I'm so sorry.
Sitting with you here reminds me of ten years ago.
Even that day, you cried a lot because of me.
I made you cry again.
Ten years ago and even now,
I'm not qualified.
Because of me...
Because I hesitated,
you nearly died. For real, this time.
But I didn't die.
I'm sorry.
When I collapsed after I got hit in the head,
I couldn't even move a finger because I had no energy left.
I thought, "Gosh, am I really dying like this?"
But at that moment, I was reminded of that time...
when you cried your eyes out because of me.
Even though I faced death many times,
I never once...
cried for myself.
But you did that for me.
Back then,
I felt like such a loser.
The moment was so humiliating...
that it made me...
want to live a better life.
Ten years ago...
and even now, you saved me.
So don't feel guilty about anything.
You don't seem like the type,
but you cry easily.
Why do you always cry in front of me though?
It really puts me in a tough spot.
Are you that clueless?
What do you mean?
It's because I like you.
It turns out...
that I like you.
- Ga Eul? - Ga...
- Ga Eul. - Ga Eul?
It's just how I feel.
I wanted you to know that.
Maybe it's because I hurt my head,
but I'm drawing a blank as to what I should say.
Don't think about it.
Whatever you want to say should come naturally.
- Gil. - Gil!
Are you all right? Do you recognize me?
Of course I do, Soo Ji.
I'm the pretty Soo Ji whom you love the most.
- Soo Ji. - Yes, Soo Ji.
He remembers me.
I guess he's alive and well.
What did I tell you about it being okay?
I know this from experience.
Of course. Besides, we all know who Gil is.
He lived after taking pills to kill himself.
What's with the booze though?
This isn't alcohol. It's water.
As if.
By the way, why did Ga Eul leave in tears?
Was Ga Eul here? When?
- A second ago. - She left in tears.
Didn't she stop by your room?
She didn't. Hold on.
- Where do you think you're going? - I'm fine.
- You shouldn't be walking. - It's all right.
- Absolute rest, Gil. - I'm good.
Leave him be.
You can let him leave.
Dopamine can have a calming effect on those who are healing.
Dopamine. What's that?
It's a drug you can buy at the pharmacy.
I see.
Ga Eul, why are you here?
Why are you here crying...
when you should be at the training center?
Beats me. What has gotten into me?
Why are you crying?
Hey, Gil.
I see you're alive.
Right. Thanks to someone,
I have a high tolerance for physical abuse.
You just have to have the last word, don't you?
Anyway, since you're okay, we should wrap up the game.
Breaking news.
Last night, at an abandoned warehouse in Pajin,
office supplies of a suspicious nature were found.
The police were dispatched following an anonymous tip...
which led to the discovery of supplies...
that were used by K-Two Sports Foundation...
and a sports agency that was one of its partners.
Mr. Gu,
the taekwondo Olympic gold medalist,
was overseeing the foundation as its chairman.
Chairman Gu,
it must be nice to be all over the news.
The police will run a thorough investigation.
Are you kidding me?
More issues will surface as the investigation continues.
The prosecution will soon summon me for questioning.
Before that happens, there's something I need you to do.
As you can see, the abandoned warehouse...
shows clear signs of a violent assault.
Not only was the chairman of K-Two Sports Foundation present,
but so was the chief secretary...
of Assemblyman Park Seung Tae,
which is raising questions.
The police have confiscated...
the office supplies found at the scene...
and are analyzing the files as we speak.
How did the police know where to find them?
Were they led by Gu Tae Man?
- No... - Why though?
He'd be going down for this too,
so why did he call the police?
Was it Jegal Gil?
Actually, Dr. Park Seung Ha was at the scene.
Your daughter called the police for help.
But those who only know of winning...
are met with the winner's curse.
They extend not aware of their limitations...
and end up crossing a line they shouldn't cross.
They don't see the edge of the cliff that's a few feet ahead.
Jegal Gil, that little rat!
Where's Seung Ha?
Yes, Dad.
Ms. Park chose her own path.
We both know she's one to prioritize human life.
It's my fault.
I made her take on...
a huge burden.
Should you blame yourself,
she told me to say this.
It's like I've been saying.
Things happen in this world that we don't have control over.
Whom Gil should save is always himself.
This is me trying to save myself too.
And my father.
So don't wallow in blaming oneself...
and do what must be done.
We have athletes to protect.
Anyway,
I'm off to do what I must do.
You should do the same.
You're a mental coach, remember?
I'll see you.
And... That game 13 years back.
It was a bad call.
You should've won.
Tae Man.
Still, it doesn't change the fact that I won the gold.
Now I'll really get going.
Coach.
- Hello. - Hi.
Let's talk, Moo Kyeol.
Oh Sun A and Cha Ga Eul have been AWOL for over a week.
Isn't that enough to strike them from the national team roster?
They're not absent without leave. They were injured, okay?
We did enough digging, you know.
Do they not get along too well?
Well, it could be that.
Is it you they have problems with?
Who said that?
- Get lost. - Come on.
What are you doing here where athletes train?
See? I was right.
Something definitely happened.
I can tell too.
What happens to us now?
Oh Sun A. Come back before things get out of hand.
You know my connections reach every corner.
Burying you is a piece of cake for me.
Cha Ga Eul can say what she wants,
but it'll only make her look crazy.
Don't you become a lunatic too...
and focus on the Olympic Games.
The gold medal will be yours.
(Coach Oh)
(Cha Ga Eul)
I have nothing to say.
Wait, Sun A.
(Special Talk by Jegal Gil)
(What Mindset Does a National Team Athlete Need?)
(Overcoming slumps. Fear of results. Conflict with the coach)
When I was young,
my father said this very often.
"Luck makes up for 70 percent."
"In this world, 30 percent is skill..."
"and 70 percent is luck."
"Those who try hard can't beat the lucky ones."
"Someone not even the lucky ones can beat..."
"is someone who rigs games,"
"so you must never take part in..."
"a game that's rigged."
My father was quite a famous gambler in his day.
Sorry.
- May I come through? - What?
- Ouch, my finger. - Oh.
- Excuse me. - Come on, sir. You can't...
- Sorry. My leg... - Wait.
- Can you help? - Okay.
I said this.
"No, Father."
"Even the lucky ones..."
"and the ones who rig games can't beat a hard worker."
"This is a sport, not a game of poker."
At the time, I didn't know what being in a rigged game was like.
Until it happened to me.
Reporters make up any kind of story...
with what they're given, so let's put them aside.
Where in any of the documents is my name mentioned?
I legally have no ties to this issue at all...
and you're questioning me.
Is this acceptable for a prosecutor in a country governed by law?
That's what it looks like right now.
But this is connected to a large-scale assault case,
and the public is very interested.
What on earth was your secretary doing at the scene?
Whether he got into a fight with Gu Tae Man or not,
what does it have to do with me?
I know the public loves any kind of conspiracy,
but you, a prosecutor, can't fall for that.
I guess Gu Tae Man got the help of a junior of his...
and tried to siphon the foundation's money.
Strictly speaking, I'm a victim too.
It was almost always like that.
There were no video assistant referees then,
or mechanical devices to track every single attack.
It was hard to prove an allegation.
"A wrong decision is part of the game."
That sentiment overruled everything.
I felt wronged and angry.
"Why did this happen to me? What did I do wrong?"
The thing that I found hardest to accept...
was the feeling of helplessness that nothing I could do...
would change the twisted setup.
I wanted to die.
I even tried to.
So how...
did I manage...
to stay alive...
and end up on this stage giving you this talk?
I'll share the secret to my mindset,
my mentality that got me through this twisted setup.
Assemblyman Park Seung Tae visited the prosecutors' office...
to testify as a person of interest.
Unless proof of his involvement with the foundation appears,
foundation chairman Gu Tae Man will take the fall.
- What he'll do... - It's Gu Tae Man!
- is anyone's guess... - He's here!
Are the charges that you sent foundation funds...
to a paper company abroad true?
Did you ask companies to donate to replace the taekwondo uniform?
How are you connected to Assemblyman Park Seung Tae?
Good question.
I was...
a lowly one-time sportsman.
How did someone who competed for a living...
end up as chair of a sports foundation...
in charge of a government-funded project?
That was because...
I used to compete in a sport.
Assemblyman Park wanted his son...
to go to college for playing taekwondo.
He asked me for a favor,
and in return for rigging a game so his son would get into college,
he offered to make me chair of a foundation.
I became Assemblyman Park's pawn,
and as a result, he expects me to take the fall...
because I have no more use.
That is the truth.
- Can you prove it? - What happens now?
Any more comments, sir?
I shouted out.
"I'm a national team athlete!"
"You scumbag!"
(What Mindset Does a National Team Athlete Need?)
What's important is that...
you must not become timid...
or afraid when you see your bully's face.
You must speak out with force and urgency.
Why is that important?
Because that's how you stop letting that person...
build a house in your mind.
"You stand no chance. You won't make it."
"As long as I'm around, you'll suffer."
The way to escape the guilt...
and helpless feelings that plague you endlessly...
is to shout out even louder that you will make it.
"Whatever you say, I'll keep pushing ahead."
"Why?"
"Because I value myself more than you."
"You can't touch any part of me."
- Yes? - Isn't that how...
you got banned from competing forever?
(What Mindset Does a National Team Athlete Need?)
Yes.
We trained and competed since we were kids.
If we get branded and have to quit,
won't it all become in vain?
You're right.
That's a valid question.
There's one thing...
I didn't know at the time.
I get that you're doing whatever you can to survive,
Is my son's college entrance issue the only thing you came up with?
Practically everyone involved in the process is corrupt.
Even if you can prove your stance,
it won't hurt my position as an assemblyman.
I know.
Everyone's corrupt, and the public is sick of it.
They just want one victim.
They're building up to bring a storm down their fury on that one person.
What can they change with their fury?
The goddess of justice and law never gets furious.
Fury brings nothing but revenge.
Your minuscule and pathetic fury...
will bring upon retribution.
Because I don't plan on forgiving you...
for tarnishing my son's reputation.
You...
and Jegal Gil...
will go down today.
I'll remember that.
I forgot about him.
I have a lot to do when I get out.
Prosecutor Seo.
Must you cross-examine me with them?
Your statements conflict,
so we need to confirm some facts.
You said you had evidence you wanted to submit.
Yes.
Assemblyman Park's instructions...
are on my phone in the form of texts.
And the tablet includes information...
on the overseas paper company the assemblyman...
managed himself.
What?
You stole these, didn't you?
Illegally obtained evidence can't be used in court.
Get that in your thick skull.
Isn't that true, Prosecutor?
That is correct.
If it wasn't obtained illegally,
it is admissible as evidence, sir.
Let's do that.
Can you really do that though?
If I don't, he won't stop.
He'll use any means necessary to get his revenge.
We cannot let...
anyone else get hurt.
You can't file theft or breaking and entering charges...
against your family members...
or relatives.
The other day, I clearly warned you...
to just wait and see what I'd do.
From now on,
I'll be like chewed gum stuck on the back of your head...
that simply won't come off.
Whoever tied the knot must untie it.
You have a truly wise daughter, sir.
(Prosecution Service)
Back then, I didn't realize...
that I wasn't alone...
and that I had people who were there for me.
I always thought I was alone.
"I'm the only one suffering unjustly like this."
"Only I am hurting like this."
"I'm the only one having a hard time."
My lethargy, self-resentment, and anger...
nearly killed me.
But that incident wasn't to blame.
My wrong belief that I was useless and abandoned...
was to blame, and I realized that later on.
What saved me was love, not anger.
Having someone who would gladly embrace my wounds...
and hold me in their arms.
And being able to do that...
for someone else too.
When we realize that we're not alone...
and that we're in this together,
we can finally become strong.
Even the luckiest ones and those who cheat...
can't beat the gutsy ones.
Do you want to be strong?
- Yes! - Yes!
Do you want to survive and thrive in this industry?
- Yes! - Yes!
Then pluck up the courage to show your wounds.
The world is filled with people who are just like you.
Join them.
You're...
not alone.
(What Mindset Does a National Team Athlete Need?)
My gosh.
Thank you.
Oh Sun A and Cha Ga Eul, who had been rumored...
to be having a conflict and left the training center without permission,
held a press conference.
And their confession was shocking.
After that incident,
I left the training center as if I was running away.
After my four-year slump,
I finally returned to the training center,
but nothing had changed.
He still hit us and swore at us during training,
but we had no choice but to put up with it.
I was an athlete all my life,
so I thought I had no other option.
Yes, sir. I just sent the detailed article...
with photos to back it up.
However...
(Team Korea's Oh Sun A and Cha Ga Eul, Press Conference)
When I saw one of my teammates...
going through...
exactly what I had experienced four years ago,
I couldn't tolerate it anymore.
Coach Oh kept showing up in front of my house...
on top of calling and texting me...
to threaten me...
that he'd oust me for good if I told anyone about it.
Out of fear,
I left the training center without permission.
Oh Dal Sung, that crazy jerk.
He'd better not get me roped into this. Darn you!
Let go! I will go there of my own accord.
I'll hold a press conference too.
I'm innocent!
(Korean Olympic Committee)
Coach Oh Dal Sung.
As the captain of the women's short-track team,
my juniors and I are here...
to deliver our official request that you resign from your post.
Do you think you can participate in the Olympics without me?
Yes. I think we can totally do it.
We'll be fine without you.
You'd better think wisely.
If you retire as an athlete without winning an Olympic medal,
people will treat you like dirt for the rest of your life.
Coach, you were the only person who treated us like dirt.
My mom said you were finished.
All of us here are done putting up with your abuse.
If we must put up with your abuse to win a medal,
we don't want any medals.
You little...
Thanks to your abuse, I kept going and didn't rest even for a moment.
At first, I kept going to avoid getting hit by you.
Later on, I kept pushing myself because I was afraid I'd fall back.
Eventually, I forgot how to stop.
Thanks to you, I lost many things.
Some very precious things.
I'll do everything in my power so my juniors won't end up like me.
So please stop ruining Team Korea's reputation.
Just get lost quietly.
Is it true that you sexually assaulted some athletes?
My, I knew we could count on them.
My girlfriend is a tough cookie.
What? Girlfriend?
You two are going out? Since when?
As if you'd know if I told you.
I mean...
It's not like you've been in a relationship before.
- What do you have to say? - It's not true!
Where's your proof?
Can you prove I did it?
You can't side with one party when there's no evidence.
In court,
my innocence will be proven.
You won't be able to.
Because you have someplace to stop by first.
What are you talking about?
What...
Coach Oh,
you're coming with me to the station.
Illegal sports gambling...
and bribery for the purpose of match fixing.
Check out my exclusive.
(Short-track Coach Oh Dal Sung Illegal Gambling and Match Fixing)
It's like I said.
I've had you on a leash.
You should've pulled it together when I warned you.
So much for all the chances I gave you.
You had it coming.
Justice will prevail.
What goes around comes around.
- In four syllables. - Four?
You're done for now.
You have the right to an attorney...
and to remain silent.
Shall we, Mr. Large portion of ganpengi?
- Let us through. - Why you...
- I won't go down for this. - Any words?

There he is!
The truth should come out. We demand severe punishment.
- We demand! - We demand!
Let the victims live normally while the offender is behind bars.
- Behind bars! - Behind bars!
Prison, my foot.
As if they'll be able to win a medal without me as a coach.
You sexual predator!
- You can't do this. - Take this!
- Take this! - You!
Why are you only taking it up with me?
Even the prison food is a waste on you.
- Die! - Ladies, please!
Sexual assault? Oh Dal Sung?
Chairman Go favored and coddled Oh Dal Sung,
and it'll backfire on him badly.
It's a great card. Perfect for the upcoming election.
- That darn Park Seung Tae. - Get her to keep quiet.
This can't come out until the Olympic Games are over.
We'll release this at the right time for the election.
Hidden behind the glory...
- of an Olympic gold medal, - What the...
a female athlete's tears.
I see this was meticulously designed.
"Gyotosamgul."
A wise hare will dig three holes.
Those low on the totem pole...
can't survive unless we have our holes dug in advance.
That was quite smart of you.
Maybe you could go into politics.
Actually, once I got out of here,
I thought I could run for chairman of the Korean Olympic Committee.
You saw how rotten those in charge were.
I hope to lead the force that drives out corruption.
I'm sorry about that.
Please have some more kkakdugi.
Anyway,
let me know if you need more information on your case.
So tell me.
Is the detention center habitable?
As if I'd go down like this.
Match fixing? You don't get many years for that.
No one brought home gold medals like me before.
They'll be asking for my return.
It has been that way.
Do you really believe...
it'll be that way once again?
Of course. The world never changes.
People might hope for change,
but only this is what they truly want.
A winner. A gold medalist.
Winning no matter what it takes.
And I'm the one...
who can make it a reality.
In the end,
people will want me back.
Would they?
I'm curious myself.
This I'm certain of though.
While you rot in there,
the world will see more people like me.
And your first stop after leaving your cell...
will be to a mental institute.
An inferiority complex...
is like a cancer of the brain.
Get it treated.
Or it'll be me who reforms that rotten brain of yours.
Unbelievable.
We'll see who's right!
We'll see.

The controversies that surfaced...
before the Korean Olympic Committee chairman election...
have the sporting body shaken up.
Many once believed that the world...
only favored winners and disrespected losers.
Whether I won or lost, I was always unhappy.
Not being able to know the meaning behind the sweat I shed...
left me in despair.
My reality and dreams left me conflicted.
I also resented the wind...
that blew my way against my will.
(Rankings:)
(Lee Dong Jin, Lee Moo Kyeol, Do Jin Woo)
Everyone tries their hardest hoping to win gold,
but only one is allowed the honor.
In a world where the winner takes all,
most of us are destined to be losers.
If I'm elected as the chairman of the Korean Olympic Committee,
I'll end the corruption solidified by businessmen...
and politicians.
A nation where athletes compete with joy.
The sporting body will be centered around athletes again.
An advanced sports culture...
You were also part of the corruption though.
Power struggles and endless competition...
is still the reality.
However,
there's a magical saying that allows everyone to be winners.
In 1, 2, 3.
- Go, team! - Go, team!
(We wish for the national team to put up a good fight!)
I'm sure it's your first time...
competing in the Olympics without a coach.
- Yes. - Yes.
It's a first for me too.
At a moment like this,
- it's crucial to stay focused... - Gosh.
I apologize for my tardiness.
Why did you even insist on coming...
when you're not one of us anymore?
They were once the athletes I consulted,
so I should see them off.
Sure. But rather than a full speech, I urge you to keep it short.
- Keep it short. - Sure.
All right.
Let's say it together.
Who decides whether you're successful or not?
- We do. - We do.
That's the loudest you can be?
- Who decides it? - We do!
That's right.
Don't forget that,
and you can all be winners on the path you take.
Return in triumph.
The national team of South Korea.
Good luck.
- Go, team. - Go, team.
Here.
In 1, 2, 3.
- Have fun, let's win. Go, Korea. - Have fun, let's win. Go, Korea.
Good.
Ga Eul.
Well, there's something I wanted to say.
I didn't want you to get the wrong idea.
You see,
- Dr. Park and I... - Later.
What?
Later.
I'll hear it some other time.
Right, of course.
I'll see you when you get back.
- Do well. - I'm grateful for everything,
coach.
Good luck.
And then,
there's one last step.
The women's 3,000-meter relay wraps up the Winter Olympics.
They fought hard until the very end.
Our women's relay team steps onto the podium.
One, two, three.
They prepared another cute performance.
I think they came prepared.
They're adorable.
Cha Ga Eul is the first to receive the medal.
They attended the Olympics without a coach.
They must've been so stressed out.
I'm proud of them.
Cha Ga Eul burst into tears.
She's known to never show emotions during or after a race.
Oh, no. Don't cry.
- You did great. - You did so well.
They all did amazingly well,
and I send them my applause.
Do not cry.
- Do not cry. - Do not cry.
Gil. Are you crying?
Are you crying?
What, Gil?
Why...
What... What's wrong?
He never cried in his life.
Something got into my eye.
(No Medal Club)
- I've never seen Gil cry. - Me too.
Gil...
swallowed a handful of pills to die,
and he didn't cry even then.
What's going on?
(I still need you.)
(Women's Short-track 3,000-meter Relay Medal Ceremony)
It was a weird experience.
I'd never cried since I was seven.
But...
I suddenly burst into tears.
It wasn't something to cry about, but I cried when she did.
You got back the tears you lost when you were seven.
So, how did it make you feel?
At first, I felt flustered.
Then I felt weird.
Then I thought...
maybe the one who still needs her...
is me.
And?
Everything I said in an attempt to heal her...
was actually...
things I said in order to heal myself.
Instead of me changing her,
she could be the one changing me.
Just like how you changed me?
I think you took...
the most important last step toward healing.
Do you not regret it?
It brought about a huge change.
You paid a painful price.
It would be a lie to say I don't regret it at all.
But I like who I am now compared to who I used to be.
Part of me is broken and battered,
but I'm more me now.
You'll make for a great healer.
Thanks to you.
So,
what do you plan to do now?
Things I've never done in my life.
The last spell that makes our minds even stronger.
I decided to do...
things I'd never done before in my life.
- Look over here! - Over here, please!
- Smile this way! - Here, please!
- Over here! - Well done.
- Can you smile! - Over here!
Smile and wave.
You wrapped up a successful Winter Olympic Games.
What do you want to do the most?
(A silver more worthy than a gold!)
Shall we take turns starting with Cha Ga Eul?
I'm not really sure.
I guess I'll do things I couldn't do before because I had to train.
As if you're shaking water off your hand.
And the A chord.
One, two, three.
Yes.
One, two, three.
The A chord.
Mom goes to the shaded side of the island
To pluck oysters
The child is left alone
I've never done this before.
Neither have I.
Isn't it pretty?
I might pick this up after I retire.
I love sparkly stuff like this.
Let me see yours.
I should do it too.
It's beautiful.
- Thank you. See you again. - Bye.
You're pretty good for a first-timer.
- Am I? - Yes.
Are you allowed to do this when you're off?
I actually wanted to do this for a long time.
Did you? Work hard, then.
I will.
Where are the snacks?
Come with me.
These must be new.
Fresh fruit? It must be refreshing.
- Thank you. See you again. - Bye.
I did well so far,
and I'll do well from now on.
I love you, Han Yeo Woon.
I'm not a genius.
I worked myself to death to get here,
and no one knows what the future holds.
So...
Let's do what I can do today.
What I can do at this moment.
The moment you face your limits...
and willingly jump into a different and daunting experience.
(Come to the Seongjin-dong ice rink.)
The moment you willingly jump into a different and daunting experience.
All the firsts build up...
and make us stronger than before.
Darn it.
Let's do this.
So let's begin.
Like you were never hurt before.
Like kids who keep getting up however many times they fall.
Coach!
Hey! Stay where you are! I'll come over.
Stay there. I'll come to you.
Here I come.
What are you doing over there?
Can't you see?
I'm coming to you.
Even if it's precarious and you may fall,
and even if you may end up hurting each other...
What are you doing?
Well...
Something I've never done before.
What is that?
You said we should do it now, not later.
Let's do it.
"Later" may never come.
Love.
I shall now say...
the last magic word.
