Hey!
How dare you show up here!
I came to pack my things.
Have you no conscience?
Money and power solve everything. Is that it?
I'm so sorry…
You bastard… You are sorry? That's it?
If…
If Man-bok ends up retiring because of that injury,
I'm going to kill you!
You got that?
What do you mean?
Is Man-bok… hurt?
Aunt…
Spit it out! What happened?
Where… How bad is it?
Where is he right now?
Mom… What do you mean?
Is Man-bok hurt?
What happened?
Ask him yourself.
Where is that hospital?
Where is it? My Man-bok!
Which hospital is he at?
Who did this?
Who did this to you?
Mom… How did you…
Is this really because of me?
Is that it?
Who told you to worry about that?
I told you to focus on your training!
I'm sorry…
Oh, no!
Should be grateful. It could've been worse!
And you just did what he asked?
Who was it? Who told you to do this?
Ma'am…
We'll do our absolute best to help him fully recover.
Uh, ma'am… The chairman here
didn't know anything about this.
It was all my doing…
Restore him to exactly how he was!
Or I'm suing every single one of you!
Ma'am… please calm down…
Calm down? In this situation?
These are still just kids!
And you teach them these dirty tricks!
What kind of adult are you?
It's all my fault. I'm truly sorry.
No, ma'am… it's all me.
Forget it!
Ma'am…
- Gosh! - I'm so sorry…
How could you?
Where's your conscience? Huh?
Ji-na, you have an audition tomorrow.
Go home and get ready. I'll stay here.
Man-hee, you go too. I'll be here.
Man-hee. Go home with mom.
Mom, I'm really fine.
Ho-young will be here soon. Just go.
Then I'll stay until Ho-young arrives.
Ji-na, take mom home.
Just go, mom! I'm really fine!
Yeah, mom. You won't last like this.
But how can I just leave him here?
Mom, the food here is terrible. Can you go make me something yummy?
Okay. What do you want?
Anything you make is delicious.
Go on. Take care of your brother.
I know you didn't know.
But I'm still disappointed.
Are all rich people like this?
I'm sorry…
I didn't know they'd go that far.
You didn't know, so everything is fine?
You are right… That's not how it works.
Really…
What an embarrassment…
I'm so embarrassed, I don't know what to do.
So what? You're going to just quit?
If you are going to weasel your way out by just quitting,
I'm never going to forgive you.
Make my brother skate again.
Just as he did before.
No, help him become even better.
If you are really sorry,
that's what you should do.
That's how you make it up to him.
Go to your room and get some rest.
I'll look after Man-bok.
Thank you, Ho-young.
I never said it out loud, but you know you are like another son to me.
You know, from way back…
I've always thought of you as my son.
Of course…
Please, look after him.
Don't you worry about him.
Okay. Okay.
Gosh… what did we do to deserve this?
Take care of her for us.
Do you think Man-bok will skate again?
Yes he will. I'll see to it.
Without Man-bok, this means nothing to me.
I won't do it alone.
I know you are shaken, but good luck with the audition.
I'll get going then.
I'm going to do my best at the audition,
so you can't quit until the end, either.
Kang Ho-young
How is Man-bok doing?
What about the rehabilitation?
Yes, he's in the process.
It doesn't look serious.
That's good.
I heard his family isn't doing so well.
How bad is it?
While we are at it, let's get you some exercise.
You know your weakest spots.
Speed skating requires a lot of bending.
Many skaters have something crooked anywhere from the neck down to the pelvis.
But you have it especially bad.
Try that exercise.
Can you please leave?
What? I'm a sports medicine major, remember?
You didn't even start learning it yet.
Don't chase her away. She's giving you some solid advice.
I tried that rehab exercise before.
It's really good for your back. It'll do you a lot of good.
Huh? A lot of good?
Oh, right. Ji-na's audition is today!
What do you say we go cheer for her?
I know he's a troublemaker, but please, look after Ho-young!
Oh, I'm not doing much…
Don't worry. He's doing fine!
I'll be heading back, then!
Huh? You!
Uncle!
I'm counting on you.
Please, look after Ho-young.
Don't you worry!
Baek-ho's son is like my son.
I'll take good care of him.
Thank you…
Then I'll leave him in your care.
I'll come visit you soon!
Sure, sure!
No, don't come out!
Travel safely!
It's way past lunch time. Did you even eat yet?
You are an excellent chef.
Are you interested in cooking for the athletes?
A shadow of light in the darkness,
in my hour of loneliness,
I see a hand in front of me.
I hesitated to grab it,
I was shaken, and I was scared.
That night when you held out your hand.
Coach Son… You should come back.
I'll make sure something like that doesn't happen again.
You'll have full control over the management of all athletes.
As for the manager,
I'll make sure he won't get in your way.
The boys still haven't returned.
You know the qualification match is coming up soon.
Giving up on such fine athletes is not what you want, either.
As for bringing them back,
I'm asking you to find a way.
What's taking them so long?
So if you pass this, do you instantly become a trainee?
No, there are two more auditions.
Wow… it's not easy, is it?
Well the national team qualification is way harder if you think about it.
They consider all categories, and you have to rank in top two places.
And that's just the beginning.
At the Olympics, you're up against even tougher competitors.
Oooh! Someone is smart!
That's me!
We are announcing the winners soon!
Don't meddle with the athlete anymore.
Focus on the administrative work.
Yes, sir.
But shouldn't I represent the Foundation as the middle man?
I don't need you to represent!
Just leave it to Son until the end of the Olympics.
But still… Yes, sir!
Oh, and about our dining hall… You know Eun-ho's boarding house?
Ask the lady to be our chef.
Now that's good cooking…
I can see why Eun-ho wants to stay there.
It'll be a good source of strength for our athletes.
That place goes for quantity over quality,
and the sanitation is…
Yes, of course…
I'll see to it for sure.
Hands off the athletes…
Hands off the dining hall…
So does he want me to do?
I should just quit!
So that's 40 athletes, three meals a day…
What about 5 days?
Huh? That can't be right!
What about 20 days?
This is what he meant…
Hello? Yes, chairman!
About your proposal earlier…
I'm thinking about it positively.
No, I won't take long!
Wait, I'll do it! I'll do it!
Hello?
What a strange man…
Well, that takes care of the debt.
But… wow!
Don't be so down. It's just one audition.
You can do better at the next one.
What next one?
I have to go straight back to America…
I don't think those judges were thinking straight.
Why would she not pass?
What did she do wrong?
She sang just fine!
No, she did make a mistake in that one part.
Oh, no! I mean…
Mistake is the mother of all success! That's what I'm trying to say!
Today is an exception. Here, have a drink.
No! What are you talking about!
Alcohol is worse for you when you drink it sad.
I'll take care of this.
Well, you are right for once.
Right?
I have to tell you something. Assemble at the training center in 1 hour!
Quit skating? Says who? You all still answer to me.
Prepare for the final spurt of training before the qualification match.
Whining and talk about quitting, it's not going to work.
We resume our training tomorrow.
But, I…
I…
Just skate. No distractions this time.
Just to let you know, I'll prevent any dirty tricks this time.
And Man-bok will join us for the qualification match.
If he's willing to go through the rehabilitation, that is.
Understood?
Yes…
Sorry I made you wait!
No, I needed the change of scenery. I had fun.
But why did you want to meet out here?
I saw your jealous face when I bought that underwear.
You wanted one too, right? Here, this is for you.
Whoa, hey!
I can't wear this! It's too provocative!
Provocative? I think you mean sexy and cute!
Um, yeah. I can't wear something like this.
Look over there. Shatter the prejudice! Zero stereotype!
The whole world is trying to eliminate prejudice and stereotypes!
Stop thinking that your underwear can't be sexy!
Break the stereotype! Students can wear sexy and cute underwear!
Wear them! They'll make you cute and sexy!
Y…You think so?
Of course!
Ji-na, you should try that too.
I couldn't even pass the audition…
I should stop now.
Shatter the prejudice! Zero stereotype!
Quit thinking that failure is the end!
If you want to dance, you dance!
But there's a big crowd here…
You are so much better than those guys!
Come on! Try it!
The main goal of our training from now on will be that qualification match.
Keep it together!
Slowly…
Down…
Slowly, now.
Up… and down…
I put some serious effort into that rehab training.
My stamina is unbelievable now!
Unbelievable?
Show us, then!
Look at this back flex! Look at these legs go!
I'm for real now!
Gee, I wonder who helped you with that rehab…
To celebrate Man-bok's rehabilitation, today's dinner is Korean beef!
Beef! Beef! Beef! Beef!
Enjoy!
Thank you!
Oh, it's so good!
There's more!
So good!
We got more?
Is it really Korean beef?
Of course it is!
Korean beef?
You think she'd try to trick us?
Of course this is Korean beef!
Hey! Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up!
We're late!
Man-bok! Your alarm!
Did you even set it right?
Don't hit me…
Come on!
Out! Out!
Losing here is actually going to wreck you this time.
Hey, look.
Worry about yourself, if you don't want to become a real loser.
Let's do our best!
Okay!
Throw it away over there.
Oh no! I'm already late!
Oh no! Oh no!
Stop!
Where are going leaving the kitchen like this?
I have to watch the race!
Look at this place! You need to clean it up first!
What if we break the sanitation code?
I can clean it when I come back!
Not a chance!
Right now, my son
and a boy who's also like a son to me are racing out there!
No! You can't!
She can't do this…
How are they?
They are doing fine so far.
Both of them?
Yes. They are racing like the wind!
Park Eun-ho and Kang Ho-young,
the two skaters from the Kangbaek Foundation.
What a fantastic teamwork!
This is probably Kang's first major competition.
Yet he doesn't seem nervous in the slightest.
Park has plenty of experience with these kinds of events.
Kang could probably absorb Park's know-how from their training.
Sounds like it was a win-win situation for both.
That's what happens when good athletes train together.
The best case scenario!
Park Eun-ho and Kang Ho-young. Kang Ho-young and Park Eun-ho.
We have high hopes for them in the Olympics.
And as we speak,
Mo Pil-tae is locked in a close competition
with both Park Eun-ho and Kang Ho-young!
What a flawless handling!
That's Park Eun-ho, all right.
He especially shines in short distance races.
Kang Ho-young was impressive as well.
No wonder he's called a rising star. What an exciting run!
They were both superb!
Short track emperor, Park Eun-ho
Weren't you a Ho-young fan?
Well… as long as one of them wins!
How did it go?
Eun-ho got the first place,
and Ho-young got the second place.
What about Man-bok?
Didn't make it past the preliminary run.
Ugh… He could have done better…
Looks like Kang has a record from one of the practice runs.
It's was an unofficial tie.
That's right.
Looks like his forte is long distance.
1500m is Park's forte.
With these two competing, we are in for a treat.
Mo Pil-tae is also one of the contenders here.
Didn't he announce that he would retire
if he doesn't make it to the national team?
I actually read that article too.
This is going to be one fierce competition.
It's almost like
we are watching a small Olympics game.
A small Olympics game! How appropriate.
Son of PyeongChang! Rising Star! Kang Ho-young! Let's go!
The Short Track Emperor! Park Eun-ho! Let's go!
Let's go!
Why is Man-hee cheering for you? I'm offended.
Ji-na is cheering for you, isn't she?
Really? Hey, she is!
Don't let your guard down just yet.
I still haven't told Ji-na yet.
Oh, you still haven't heard?
You are already too late, my man.
I wouldn't be so sure.
And besides, I…
I was looking for the right time to give you this.
What's this?
I failed the audition, but…
I don't want you to fail.
I transferred all my energy into this.
Thank you…
Ji-na…
If I…
pass the national team qualification…
So, what I mean is…
If I become a national athlete,
will you…
be my girlfriend?
Thanks for helping with Man-bok's rehabilitation.
He still didn't make it past the preliminary run.
But there's still a possibility!
Before the rehab, he couldn't skate at all.
Thanks.
Sure…
Put this on your ankle before you head out.
I saw it yesterday.
Your ankle is a bit swollen.
You can't do much before the race,
but when it's over, you should have it looked at.
Your ankles are weak to begin with.
If you overwork them, you can really hurt yourself.
Thank you.
Hey, after the race…
Let's have dinner together.
What? Is that a no?
No!
Why didn't you answer?
This is a first time for me…
It was always me liking someone else.
I thought I should enjoy the moment.
Go! Eun-ho!
Let's go!
Lower your arms! Lower the shoulder! Bend down lower!
Will you ever get it right?
A word of advice…
Mo Pil-tae is an excellent all-rounder.
His final burst of speed is really amazing.
He may try to push his foot forward near the finish line.
So if you can't shake him off in the middle and end up approaching the line with him,
just push your blade forward.
Do it before him!
Like this?
Go further!
Like this?
Yes! That's exactly it!
It's like watching a sparrow trying to copy a crane.
But that's not going to happen.
Don't you worry.
I'm just going to shake him off like this!
Do what you want. I'll still win.
You won't even have to bother.
What? You want to go at it before the race?
You little…
We'll come back to this after the race.
Okay!
Park Eun-ho! Let's go!
Park Eun-ho! Park Eun-ho!
Short Track Emperor Park Eun-ho Faster than Light! Kang Ho-young
Go!
Park Eun-ho! Let's go!
Park Eun-ho! Park Eun-ho!
He won!
He won! Eun-ho won!
He got even better!
He did, didn't he?
He trained so hard for this!
No, I'm talking about Ho-young!
Huh? Oh, of course he got better too!
- Enjoy! - Yeah.
Stop right there!
You two need to start managing your weight now.
Spit that out!
Please, coach? Just this once!
This is too much!
We did good out there today!
That's right! That was a hard-earned victory!
Can you let them slide today?
This is just the beginning! However!
You have my permission today. Enjoy!
Thank you!
How's the food? Is it good?
Yes, sir!
Everyone, thank you for doing your best.
Especially you two! That was an exciting match!
It wasn't perfect, but…
what I'm saying is, you were all amazing today.
Eun-ho takes the first place overall. As expected.
Ho-young took the second place, so…
Our foundation just produced
two national team athletes!
Let's hear it for them!
Here…
Everyone, eat.
Ji-na, have some more of this.
It's really good.
I have to watch my weight now.
I'm not dancing anymore.
So you are… going back to America?
I have to. I failed the audition.
I already bought the ticket.
Is there any way you can stay?
Must watch your weight now. You probably just gained 500g.
Even my dad didn't go this far!
You need someone to manage you.
A very tough one at that.
Who do you think you are?
Hmmm… your manager?
If eating were a competition, you'd take the first place.
What a shame…
- Mom! - Have as much as you want!
My boy! Ho-young! Enjoy, okay?
- Love you auntie! - Right back at you!
And Eun-ho! You are like my son-in-law now.
Enjoy!
Kang Ho-young here
will be my foster son from now. He's a national athlete.
Very reliable!
And this is also my national athlete son,
Park Eun-ho.
I'm so proud of him.
You have to stop taking everything so seriously!
Lighten up!
I'm so proud of you, my son!
You did great out there!
And you too, Ho-young!
Thank you!
But are you… really making me your foster son?
Your father's name is Kang Baek-ho, right?
You knew my dad?
When I was your age,
I had a close friend who skated with me.
That was your father, Ho-young.
What?
He was a promising athlete.
He was getting recruitment deals from all over the world…
I found out later that he died in an accident.
I was staying overseas when it happened.
We made a promise to create a sports foundation.
And eventually,
I founded this organization, and named it after your father.
Really?
So starting from today, you are my second son, Ho-young!
How's that for smile?
You try it too!
Yeah, laugh for once!
Are you getting serious again?
Come on, laugh!
One year later
Mo Pil-tae WIN
The Emperor of Ice, Park Eun-ho
Short Track Speed Skating Men's 1500M Final
Nervous?
Nope.
Me neither.
For real?
Just a little… just a little…
I'm very nervous…
You think we'll win?
Of course!
Not sure about myself, but you will.
Right back at you!
Let's go get 'em!
Let's win!
I'm sure Ji-na is… flying in the air right now…
It's only been 4 hours!
But why do I miss her already?
And these two are getting worse by the minute…
I feel like you are here more often than at your own house.
Help me peel these!
Start peeling!
Stop that! Stop that!
Peel some garlic.
Hey! Get peeling! Wake up!
Hi, everyone! I'm back!
Ji-na? What are you doing here?
I was just about to board when an agency called me!
He saw me dancing in the street!
They want me as a trainee!
So you ran away again?
