(Mental Coach Jegal)
(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
The head coach keeps ordering us to rig games.
Bye.
Ever since I refused to do so,
he hasn't let me train,
and he's been bullying me.
I don't know what to do.
The late Oh Yeon Ji took her own life at home.
The last recording of her voice sounded desperate.
But the Sports Human Rights Center heard the athlete's cry...
and did nothing.
Can you turn off the TV?
Yes, sure.
I lost my appetite to drink.
The center was opened...
to protect athletes from various attacks and assaults.
When it came to actually taking action,
the organization showed many limits.
According to last year's parliamentary inspection,
over 90 percent of complaints...
- lodged to the center... - Turn off the TV!
A slump comes to everyone as they go on with life.
Get out!
Nothing goes your way,
and you feel like the universe...
is ganging up on you.
If your life is a road, you're stuck in traffic.
Yes, Assemblyman.
I'm not busy at all.
I'll come right over.
- Sorry. - Everyone handles...
a slump differently.
- Most are like this. - Taxi!
They don't acknowledge they're facing a slump.
- Darn you! - They forge right ahead,
harder than before, like a racehorse.
Taxi! Wait!
- Sorry. So sorry. - What...
To Pyeongchang-dong, fast. I'll pay you four times over.
- Four times? Okay. - Sorry!
They're really exhausting people.
Then what is the most advisable way...
to overcome a slump?
A trip?
There's an assessment match for the World Cup competitors next week.
And you're suggesting a weekend trip?
It's not just any trip.
- It's a psychotherapy course... - Dr. Park.
I'm just a reserve skater.
I have the worst time out of all six,
and if I don't get into the top four, I can't compete...
in the World Cup, let alone the Olympics.
And you're suggesting a trip?
Yes, a trip.
Let's see.
- Hey. - What?
This is the first trip since I got into swimming.
Liquor.
This 18-year-old liquor. It's 18 years old!
(When you want to quit everything)
(Describe how you feel today: I still need you.)
This weather is just perfect for a trip.
(Episode 9: The Best Medicine for Your Slump)
(Episode 9)
All right. Allow me to introduce...
the landmark of Geoje Island.
It's a hot tourist destination.
Geoje Botanical Garden's Jungle Dome!
It's the largest glass botanical garden...
ever built in Korea so far.
Everywhere you look is a photography hot spot.
So take lots of cool pictures.
Hold your partner's hand.
Make sure you follow me so you won't get lost.
- Okay? - Yes!
- Follow me! - Okay!
- Let's go! - Let's go!
- Come on! - Let's go!
- Let's go! - Let's go.
I guess he thinks we're here to play.
Just leave him be.
They won't have time to play, if not now.
That's true. They're just like kids, you know?
They're on the national team.
- Okay. - Don't be so cranky.
Look!
All right. The first photo spot...
is this bird's nest.
Show me a bird breaking out of its egg...
and soaring.
Who should go first? Yes, Moo Kyeol. Come on.
Me? Why?
Come on. This training will help you boost your confidence.
The person with the best photo will get a prize,
so aim for that. Come on.
All right. Think that you're a bird.
One, two, three.
Come on. This is how you build rapport with them.
I don't do things like this.
It's not like I enjoy doing this.
Get up there. Go!
Seriously, I hate stuff like this. It's embarrassing.
(Korea National Archery Team)
All right. This is...
where you guys are staying!
Unpack in your rooms, have lunch,
and meet us at 1pm. We'll go straight to the arena.
You're dismissed.
Dismissed! Go!
Dismissed! Good luck, guys.
- We can do it. - Yes.
You two will watch the archery team's game at 2pm.
From 4pm, Dr. Park will guide you through...
your mind control training on the ice.
Then you'll do your image training...
under the guidance of Mr. Jegal. Then you'll have dinner...
and start training with the archery team at 9pm...
and climb Mount Gara with them.
Starting at 9pm?
Hold on. Then when can we sleep?
When the archery team does their mental training,
they don't sleep for two days.
Why do you think the archery team has won the most gold medals?
It's all because of their special training.
This training helps you utilize your skills to the fullest...
even in the worst situations.
So don't complain. And don't cause trouble.
Diligently follow the training program.
Wait, you said this was a trip.
A two-day mental training program where you can't sleep...
and a trip.
- Dr. Song! - What? This isn't a trip.
Gosh, I can't believe this.
I just want to go home! Goodness.
(Korean Olympic Committee)
We can't mend the situation.
It's not like this is the first time Oh Dal Sung caused trouble.
The media exposed his involvement in illegal sports gambling too.
So if we let him off again...
Sir, public opinion will completely turn against us.
We are concerned about that too.
But the Winter Olympic Games is around the corner.
Because we keep saying things like that,
people criticize...
the entire sports industry and say we only care about medals.
If we don't win any medals,
they'll bash us and ask what we did with all the money.
If public opinion turns against us,
we'll lose the sponsors. What about that?
The skating team was the one that caused trouble,
so the Skating Union should deal with it!
By that logic,
Mr. Gu caused trouble too,
so he should step down as the head of the Human Rights Center.
Am I wrong?
(Korean Olympic Committee)
Yes, you're right. It was my staff's mistake,
but it's my fault for not managing my staff well.
That said, I'd like to resign as the head of the Human Rights Center.
You'd like to resign?
Is that really necessary?
My point was,
since we let you off once,
you should also have some mercy on the skating team...
We can't justify that.
There are witnesses.
To improve the public image of the Committee,
we should right all the wrongs.
I will resign,
and we'll hire a new coach for the short-track team.
I'm sure...
we can find another coach who is as skilled as Oh Dal Sung.
Okay, let's do that.
Put out a hiring notice for Oh Dal Sung's successor.
("Is Sports Human Rights Center Useless?")
So? Did Chairman Go flip out?
He was a little flustered, but what could he do?
He's the one who desperately needs a medal.
He gave me a confirmation that he would meet you.
They say, "Turn your adversity to your advantage."
Turning a crisis into an opportunity.
Well done.
You sure are a sportsman.
Without your help, it would've just remained a mere idea.
Thank you for your support, sir.
No, don't mention it. It was a great idea to begin with.
Keep it up and take one step at a time.
Let the salesmen like Chairman Go sell all the medals.
We should use people.
Drink up.
Oh, thank you.
People have the ability to move your heart.
After all, that's what politics is all about.
You always inspire me, sir.
All they do is talk. It's exhausting to deal with them.
A trip?
Tough life, Dr. Park.
What is all this?
As you can see,
they simulate the wind, rain, and noise.
In archery, nature is always a variable factor.
My, their training is thoroughly designed.
The wind can affect their movements horizontally...
while the rain affects them vertically.
Even 1mm can make a huge difference...
on the target, which is several dozen meters away.
This special training is done to prepare them for nature's caprice.
Hey, Mi Jung.
You touched my bow.
Oh, I didn't see it. Sorry.
"Sorry?" That's it?
Don't you know how sensitive bows are?
I apologized.
I touched it gently. Relax, will you?
She's so on edge.
She can be like that.
But she's the best one. You'll be very surprised.
Really?
Are you ready?
It's so windy,
but she doesn't let it faze her.
Master archers...
calculate the direction of the wind...
and deliberately aim wrongly.
Shin Ye Ji...
can determine how far she must aim from the target...
just by watching others hit theirs.
That's what makes her a natural-born archer.
Aiming away from the target?
I wonder why she didn't release?
She would've won no matter what she hit.
I think I know why.
What you should know is this.
Yesterday's victor can always lose today.
Not being constantly focused can turn the tables...
in the world of sports.
Someone else to take over as champion...
will always exist.
Meet us downstairs in your training wear.
Sure.
What did you mean by you knowing why?
She shouldn't be left in this state.
From what I can tell, I think she has "target panic."
As if you know anything about archery.
Are you saying that...
while knowing the extent of the condition?
Target panic, also known as clicker disease in Korea,
is a condition where one can't execute the shot.
She managed the other shots perfectly.
Being the perfectionist that she is, the heavy wind must've affected her.
Besides, the actual event takes place tomorrow.
If I'm right,
you must be aware that...
not treating this earlier on will end her career.
You only saw her once.
And I've been watching her compete since she was 12.
- She isn't weak. - But Dr. Song...
I'm a former competitive archer myself.
When it comes to you and me, I'm the expert.
You should concentrate on your athletes.
Didn't you assure him...
you'd get him in the water after five sessions?
I guarantee you that your methods...
will not work with someone with so much pride.
He'll fail to swim every time just to prove you wrong.
I guess that's true.
Still, I'd like to take a crack at him in my own way.
It's true that Shin Ye Ji's compulsion...
has gotten worse since that day.
Her obsession with her routines...
is bordering on the pathological side.
I know how she is,
so I suggest you focus more on Cha Ga Eul instead.
Right. Sure.
What did you mean by you knowing why?
Do you think she didn't take the shot on purpose?
I don't know for sure,
but...
I saw myself in her.
Are you saying you're choosing not to get in the water?
It's more like not being able to do it.
Let's say you only had to straighten your finger.
That's all you have to do,
but you can't do it.
Like not being able to run even if you want to?
I think I get what you're saying.
Even the great Shin Ye Ji misses her mark sometimes.
It's because you knocked my bow earlier.
As if that made you choke.
I didn't choke. I just couldn't make the shot...
because you messed up my bow.
I see. But didn't you shoot with a different bow?
I get you're stressed out, but so are the rest of us.
You really need to turn it down a notch.
Excuse me.
I saw her put on a ring before the match today.
Does she have a boyfriend?
Must we train at a place like this?
You started off in a rink like this one.
That's what you wrote in your personnel file.
This is to help you go back to your roots.
Rather than focusing on speed, remember the joy and excitement...
you felt when you first started out.
How was it to skate for the first time?
Does it bring anything back?
- Dr. Park. - Yes, Ga Eul?
The selection match will take place next week,
and I must be in the top four to stay on the team.
I'd rather spend my time running laps.
She's resisting as predicted.
Now, close your eyes.
This didn't work the last time.
You almost killed me, remember?
This will be an image training session.
You can think that you're in the water, so close your eyes.
Gosh.
This time, you're really at the sea.
Your time and record don't matter.
How does it feel?
I don't know.
The waves are harsh.
That's it. The sea has crashing waves.
The gravitational pull of the moon creates them.
Earth and the moon repeatedly pull each other...
as they move closer and then further away.
Taste the water.
How is it?
It's salty, of course.
That's right. Sea water is salty.
Salt in the water creates more buoyancy.
Lose the tension in your body and let yourself be carried.
The saltwater will have you floating.
Now, let's try getting into the water.
I can't. I'll sink.
You won't.
You only need to let go of the tension.
There aren't any opponents you need to beat,
judges that'll assess you, spectators to criticize you,
and there isn't a clock to time you.
It's just you and the sea.
Now, let go of the tension.
Have faith.
You'll float.
In five seconds,
you'll be swimming freely.
Five, four,
three,
two, one.
Now, take the dive.
I did it!
Coach, I'm floating!
Are you okay? Breathe.
Take deep breaths.
Inhale.
And exhale. Slowly.
Inhale.
And exhale.
See? I told you it wouldn't work.
Do you see me as a rival?
You? Why would I?
Forget about it.
Unbelievable.
I don't believe this.
I'm younger than you, better looking,
and I won three gold medals.
You won nothing.
That's true. I'm older than you.
Am I less better-looking too?
And I won no medals.
Despite all that, I like myself.
How about you?
What are you on about?
If you keep failing in your mind just to beat me,
keep doing that.
There are many ways to get revenge.
Involuntarily hurting yourself continuously...
is a revenge of some sort on someone.
"Revenge?"
Do you think I'm failing on purpose?
What for? What do I get out of it?
Attention?
"Swimming genius."
"National star who achieved the grand slam."
Not attention like that, but an SOS, begging people to see you as is.
Does it make sense that I'm risking ruining my career...
to do this to get your attention?
You were like this before we met,
so it's someone else's attention you're craving.
Who that is is for you to figure out.
Think about it long and hard.
I'm off to enjoy my trip.
Moo Kyeol.
Your third attempt to get into the water failed.
He's out of his mind.
It's been a while and you're still here?
She won't listen to me. I guess we lack the rapport.
If she gets hurt before her assessment match...
Stop her.
Let's let her skate for a while.
She looks like she'll cry.
Here you go.
The weather's great.
Isn't it, Father?
Look at your hands.
Father.
How is it like here?
Ga Eul told me off for moving you to this place.
I'm sorry.
(Korea Skating Union, Recruiting National Team Coach)
Guys, it looks like Coach Oh's gone for good.
A recruitment notice is up.
"Over five years' experience coaching reservists."
"Over two years' experience coaching overseas."
"Over five years' experience coaching high school and above."
That's crazy. They must be looking for someone with lots of expertise.
Only company team coaches have this much experience.
They'll apply if the pay's high enough.
I guess we're finally free from Coach Oh.
- Yeo Woon. - Yeo Woon.
They're recruiting a coach for us.
So what?
What do you think that'll change?
To be honest, I hated getting beaten up in training.
- The new coach... - Hey.
Who'd join after all this?
You're all so clueless.
There are very few coaches with that kind of caliber.
A two-month temporary position...
where he gains zilch if he succeeds and loses everything if he doesn't?
To replace Oh Dal Sung?
No one will apply.
What does she mean no one will apply?
Will we enter the Olympics without a coach?
Why didn't you stop me?
You looked like you wanted to keep going.
Here. Wipe your face.
It's nice here.
Quiet...
and cozy.
I skated for the first time in a place like this.
How old were you then?
Nine.
With my dad.
He was staying at home then because he was injured.
He let me do anything I said I wanted to do.
Everything...
began because of me.
Straighten your toes and use your stomach muscles.
Keep your balance.
Lean a bit more forward.
Here go.
Right foot.
Left foot.
You're doing great, Ga Eul.
Now let go of this hand.
Right foot. Left foot.
You're doing great. I'll let go now.
Here you go.
It was the first time I'd ever skated in my life.
When I straightened my toes...
and used my stomach muscles to stay up,
the ice took me without me having to do anything.
I begged him to let me get into skating.
Because I liked skating.
I wanted to skate.
We can't afford a pair of skates!
They cost 10,000 dollars a year!
Who cares about money?
Can't we let our girl do one thing she wants?
You lost our savings vouching for someone!
My sweetest dad's personality started to change.
If I compete in just one match...
It was around that time.
My dad got back into the ring...
to let me skate.
We took him to a hospital.
It was called "punch-drunk."
It's an illness of the brain...
you get if you're hit too often.
It can affect your personality...
and cause amnesia somewhat like dementia.
With that money...
I got into speed-skating.
That's why...
I must do well.
Goodness, Ga Eul...
I must do better.
That way, my dad...
My dad...
If only I hadn't begged.
If only I hadn't said I wanted to get into skating...
My dad wouldn't be like this.
It's all my fault.
It's not your fault.
It's all my fault.
I'm being punished for it now.
Goodness...
No, it's not your fault.
It's okay.
Where's Ga Eul?
Over there.
What are they up to?
Don't get it wrong. It's just rapport.
(Rapport: A harmonious relationship...)
They're kissing?
(between the client and the therapist)
"Rapport."
Oh. Rapport.
Do they have to do that for rapport?
It looks like Ga Eul got over yet another hurdle.
Ye Ji.
That ring...
Can't you take it off during your games now?
Oh, I know.
You've always had it on in your previous games.
So far, it's been your good luck talisman that protected you.
But don't you think it gets in the way now?
If this is about the game earlier today,
it won't happen tomorrow.
As long as I do well in the real game, right?
It's not just about your performance.
If you keep wearing that ring,
you'll continue to be distracted.
If you just leave it, you may develop symptoms of target panic...
Time's up, Dr. Song.
Ye Ji, what happened that day was...
You really don't want to eat?
I have no appetite.
Hey, how about we just skip the training and go out?
How could you crack a joke right now?
I'm not joking.
I've never been on a real trip.
Even during my off-season training,
there wasn't a single day when I could relax and play.
I always told myself to work harder and do better.
I felt like my whole world would collapse otherwise.
Oh, boy. I worked so hard.
But what do I even have left now?
(The hiking training will be replaced...)
(with a special psychology lecture.)
(Come to the main entrance by 9:30pm.)
A special psychology lecture?
Hey, the hiking training has been canceled.
- A psychology lecture? - Nice!
- They canceled the hiking training? - What?
Hey, the hiking training has been canceled.
- My gosh. - Why?
- For real? - Nice.
- My gosh, I'm so happy. - Wait, a psychology lecture?
- What is this? - A psychology lecture?
Where are the kids?
- I don't see the bus either. - I know.
- What's going on? - These rascals.
Try calling Mr. Jegal.
Okay.
What? Go to Mr. Jegal's room and check.
- And check the kids' rooms too. - Yes, sir.
The phone is off. Please leave a message after...
- His phone is off. - What?
Jegal Gil, this fool. Did he cause trouble again?
- Excuse me. - Yes?
You said it was a special lecture. Where are we going now?
Since it is a special lecture,
I'm taking you guys to a special place.
And we've arrived at our destination.
All right. This is where the special lecture...
will take place!
Hey, look!
- My gosh. - Look at that.
- Oh, my. - It's so cool.
Dr. Song.
The kids aren't in their rooms.
Mr. Jegal isn't in his room either. I think he...
- Call the bus driver now. - Okay.
Find them at once!
(Korea National Archery Team)
(Archery Coach)
Since coming here, I've learned that there is something...
archery and life have in common.
Whether it's your arrow or your life, it never flies straight.
No matter how much you want to hit the bull's-eye,
the rain and wind will never let it fly straight.
Even if you're burning with the urge to achieve your goals,
the wind of life...
will never be kind enough...
to help you hit the bull's-eye.
That's why archers aim off in the wind.
Ye Ji.
- Yes? - What does it mean to aim off?
When it's very windy,
you push the sight to set it differently.
Correct.
If the wind is blowing from left to right,
you intentionally push it to the left.
If the wind is blowing from right to left,
you aim to hit the right side of the target.
If you try...
to hit the center of the target even when it's windy,
you're an amateur.
(Monde Marina Resort)
Now, close your eyes.
And think about this.
What is your target in life?
What is your target...
in life?
Cha Ga Eul won the gold medal!
She managed to turn the tables right before the finish line!
The women's 1,500m at the world championship.
Cha Ga Eul won the gold medal!
A gold medal! Lee Moo Kyeol!
He did it.
Where did this genius come from? Korea!
I won the gold medal, Dad!
Yes! Gosh, my dear daughter!
Well done!
The Olympics.
A gold medal.
Winning first place.
A perfect score.
And your family who's happy for you.
If you're thinking of such things, it means you've hit your target.
But the wind of life is blowing.
An unwanted wind that can't be stopped.
It's blowing now.
Think about what it could be.
Dad!
I'll cross.
Wait there. I'll cross.
Dad, no!
It's Ye Ji's father's.
The day of the nationwide championship last month,
her father got into a car accident.
I see.
He was moved to a hospital right away and underwent surgery.
But Ye Ji had a game when all of that was going on.
Her family didn't think it was a big accident,
so they thought he'd be okay.
(Intensive Care Unit)
No...
No, honey!
Honey...
To Ye Ji, it was a gold medal she won by giving up...
being there with her father in his final moments.
(Operating Center)
No!
From that moment, that ring...
was no longer a talisman for victory.
It's come to symbolize her guilt toward her father.
I bet that's why...
she hesitates to shoot an arrow, knowing she could win.
Because of her guilt toward her father.
To Ye Ji, winning is connected to her father's death.
The wind of life blows unexpectedly.
A mis-shot arrow ends up in the wrong place.
It hurts someone,
and it could hurt you too.
That is the first arrow.
But that's unavoidable.
The moment you start beating yourself up for it,
other arrows...
will follow you around and haunt you.
Whenever that happens, you'll be hurt, fall down,
and blame someone.
But the one who shot the second arrow...
was you.
It'll hit you.
And it's up to you to decide whether or not...
you want to avoid it.
When such unwanted wind is blowing,
it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a step away from the target.
You know...
that you've worked harder than anyone else.
So stop being so hard on yourself.
And before you shoot your 2nd or 3rd arrow,
pause for a moment.
How about you aim off from time to time?
The unwanted wind...
may take you...
to the center of your new target.
I've never seen Ye Ji cry before.
Have you seen her cry before, Dr. Song?
It's long overdue.
She is finally grieving.
What about the late-night hike?
It's only 10:30pm.
Should I get them on the bus?
It's a little windy today.
On a day like this,
it's not so bad to aim away from the target.
All right. You can now...
open your eyes.
It's like I prepared a concert or something.
Anyway, the people here have survived the deadliest typhoons.
They are masters at aiming away from the target...
although it never led to them winning any medals.
Let me introduce you to the No Medal Band.
Now...
Why don't we begin to aim away from the target?
- Yes. - Sure.
Are you ready?
- We're ready. - We're ready.
Is that the best you can do?
Are you ready?
- We're ready! - We're ready!
Are you ready?
- Yes! - Yes!
Looking down this dark faceless road
A larva I'm all alone
Crawling, praying to be something new
Breaking through my scars to survive
A pupa I sleep alone
Resting, waiting for my wounds to heal
Snowy winter covers the night
But I hold on to dreams inside
When the spring breeze opens the light
Then you'll know it's my time to rise and fly
Spread my wings and fly away
Ride the wind sailing on the world today
Sing a song reach for the sky
Flying butterfly, gosh save me
Spread my wings and fly away
Ride the wind
Dr. Song, what do I do?
- For the sky - I can't...
- I can't stop crying. - Flying butterfly, gosh save me
You did well.
I'm proud of you.
Good job.
My dad.
My dad...
I miss him so much.
Yes, let it out.
Keep on crying.
Keep crying.
She must finally be shedding her worries behind.
Moo Kyeol, try it too.
I admit it's humiliating,
but crying about what haunts you helps you grow a little.
It's okay to cry,
and it's fine to crumble as well.
We grow when we're at our weakest.
Says who?
Coach Jegal.
Ride the wind sailing on the world today
Sing a song reach for the sky
Flying butterfly, gosh save me
I heard you went to university together.
This is a private setting, so maybe you can speak casually.
With you around?
How can I trust someone who plays both sides all the time?
I'll leave the room...
so that you can talk.
Park Seung Tae.
Must you play dirty like this?
Shouldn't someone in your position speak with more grace?
I'm worried about the future of Korean sports.
How can you let the coach keep his job...
when he assaulted his athletes and partook in illegal gambling?
No one else is willing to take the job.
You made it that way.
You're cheating the system by not making the position...
appealing to others.
Why is the press sleeping on this...
when people like you are greedy to a fault?
All they care about is badmouthing politicians.
The chairman position will come down to you or me in the end.
It'll benefit none of us if our house burns down.
I'm not in a hurry.
I'd rather unpack once the house has been reconstructed.
So?
You'll have the government poke their nose in this?
You win some, you lose some. That's life.
Coveting medals...
comes with a price.
What do you think will happen?
A tiger versus a lion. Which do you think will win?
I'm not sure.
But the king of animals...
Isn't it the lion? Or is it the tiger?
When two powerhouses go head to head...
Yes?
The one I root for will win.
- Sorry? - The one...
I side with and aid will be the winner.
What I'm saying is that I hold the casting vote.
The what?
Just drink.
- What? - Is your glass full?
- Just drink up. - Sure.
Since when did you start singing?
You were quite good.
Nonsense.
Well...
After retiring as an athlete,
back when I wanted to die,
I stuck to singing all the time.
I think I'll take you up on your offer.
What changed your mind?
I want to be a good consultant and therapist.
I see. I wonder what made you think that.
While talking to Ga Eul,
I learned that there was nothing I could do.
If someone had assaulted her,
I would've gone out and gotten revenge.
But I had nothing to say to relieve her heartache.
A hug and a pat on the back.
That's all I could do today.
I felt helpless.
I'm sure that's what Ga Eul is feeling.
Feeling the heartache and pain of others...
and being supportive.
That's the hardest part.
You're right, Dr. Park.
I only knew how to be angry at the world.
Being supportive instead of being a fixer...
was a foreign concept for me.
I wanted to be there for my clients,
I wanted to be the shoulder they could lean on,
but I didn't know how to do it.
All my life, I grew up...
battling the world alone.
That must be why I'm angry all the time.
I want to save those who are like me...
and fix their problems.
But I can't fix all the problems, which makes me angry.
It then wears me out.
I end up giving up on everything.
What else?
What else have you been thinking?
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.
Can I give that kid a hug?
What?
The kid you want to save.
The kid you're afraid of losing.
I think it's you yourself.
The child you left alone in your heart.
Why don't you hug it more often?
Like this.
Hey.
Go on. Speak.
I'm here to listen.
What is it?
What's wrong?
- Goosebumps. - Goosebumps?
It's the first time for me, and it's so awkward.
What do I do about these goosebumps?
My gosh.
You hug and console Ga Eul all the time.
What did I do?
Do you think you're the same as her?
She's a kid and you're...
What's the difference?
Don't act like a mom around me.
I can't stand this kind of feeling.
This is me resisting treatment.
That was so embarrassing. I need to get away from here.
So you'll just walk off like...
He's resisting treatment?
Then is this counter-transference?
Already?
No.
It's the alcohol.
This is the cause.
I feel weird.
How so?
It's just how I've been feeling.
I think it's a good feeling, but it also feels bad.
I feel a tickle deep inside too.
You know the weird itchy feeling you get...
when a cut scabs over and then starts to heal?
I think I know why that is.
Why is that?
It's the feeling...
of new growth.
The strange feeling that something's about to begin.
You feel good for no reason when you wake up,
and feel strangely excited.
Do you not know what that feeling is?
What is it?
A signal.
A signal?
- Cha Ga Eul. - What?
You know I'm bad at saying such stuff.
I won't say it again, so listen carefully.
I got the signal.
I'm...
- ready to start over with... - Coach.
You little punks.
I didn't see a thing, so you can continue what you were doing.
Coach, it's not what you think it is.
I really didn't see anything.
- It's not like that. - Did I say something?
It's not that.
Does that guy not even sleep?
It's really not what you think.
Okay, that's fine. Go to your room.
Sleep well.
- Coach. - What?
Never mind. Goodnight.
You're so silly.
Sleep tight.
Ye Ji. How about you take off that ring now?
At one time, it was your lucky talisman,
but now it's just a symbol of guilt.
- I think... - No.
This is just a symbol of my dad.
Whether I win or lose, my dad will root for me.
Now, whether I win or lose isn't important.
Okay.
Image training, the fourth attempt at getting in the water.
Failed!
- It failed. Again. - You don't have to point it out.
Oh, dear...
Did you think about what I told you to?
Who do you want revenge against that you're involuntarily failing?
At first...
Yes, I think you're right.
I did have a sense of wanting revenge.
When I was really young.
No? Am I wrong?
You won't answer?
Bend over.
What are you doing?
Stay out of it!
Why are you hitting him?
You saw what he's like!
He can do much better,
but he won't just to get back at me!
You're being unreasonable.
Get out of the way.
If you'll keep this up and be a coach and not a dad,
I want a divorce.
You and that darn talk of divorce.
If you want to leave that badly,
don't use him as an excuse and leave!
Darn it.
I'm sorry. Mom's so sorry.
Mommy's sorry. It's my fault.
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry, Moo Kyeol.
Don't cry, Mom.
I'll do better next time.
It was always like that.
If I didn't do well,
my father scolded me,
and my mother fought him to protect me.
My parents fight because of me.
Because I don't do well.
Each time I don't do well.
But this isn't about going up against my dad.
Even if I were to do that, it would only make Mom cry.
My mom had me and raised me on her own.
I don't want her to get divorced and end up alone again.
That's why...
I want to do better.
I must do better.
But weirdly enough, the more I think so, the harder it is.
So that Mom doesn't cry,
I must do better.
I don't know why I'm like this.
Well done, Lee Moo Kyeol.
You let it all out before you face it.
The guilt inside of you.
Do you remember?
Don't take the second arrow.
It's not your fault.
Darn it. This is so embarrassing.
There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
I had it even worse.
I even overdosed to try to die.
You did?
It's a secret.
Don't tell Ga Eul I cried.
Let's promise, man to man.
Here.
That hurt.
Why won't you hug me?
- What? - You hugged Ga Eul.
Was it because she's a girl?
- Here, I'll hug you too. - Forget it.
- Come here. Hug me. - No, it's too late.
- Here you go. - Forget it.
What's my time?
Well...
Is it worse?
Should I tell you?
It's fine. I'm used to it.
How bad is it?
It's 8.23 seconds.
That's just 0.13 seconds off the best record.
The conditions are different, so don't mind the time too much.
Ga Eul! Where are you going?
All right. Inhale.
Exhale.
Relax your body.
Just try to relax.
Hey!
- I've gotten faster! - Ga Eul, don't run!
- I've gotten faster! - Ga Eul!
- I finished it in 8.23 seconds... - Ga Eul, it's dangerous. Don't run!
Hey, Ga Eul!
- Hey. - Oh, no!
This way. Come this way!
- Get the ladder. - Moo Kyeol!
Hey, hurry.
- Here, use this. - Hurry. Help her up!
Hold on. Watch your step.
I got you.
Oh, boy.
Hey.
- Oh, dear. - Thank goodness.
Hold on.
Moo Kyeol's fifth training...
- for going into the water worked. - Yes, seems like it.
- Right? - Yes.
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.
I'm off. Guys, wait up!
What? "Love?"
(Mental Coach Jegal)
I love you, Cha Ga Eul!
So we're back together now, right?
- Ga Eul has a crush on you. - What?
Hi, my cuties! How have you been?
Who says you can do that?
I'm the head of the Skating Union's Management Committee.
I'll go to the Taekwondo Association now.
Now?
Didn't you know that I was interested in you?
He's not even hiding his support for Ga Eul.
Maybe there's something going on between them again.
Oh Dal Sung said to come to his room.
The same thing might happen again.
