Hey.
What are you doing?
You must be tired. Get ready for bed.

[ Should All High School Seniors Have a Dream? ]
You're so naive.
I didn't ask you to decide what you want to become.
I need something to write on your profile!
You need to pretend you know what you want to be even if you don't.
You need to pretend you are desperate even if you're not.
This is how it works.
Everyone else is shaping their profile
to the major they want.
What is this?
You've written different jobs
every year!
There are no signs at a life crossroads.
I don't know what I want to do
but should pretend I do to go to university.
Adults want us
to be full of hopes and dreams.
By the way, where's Chansol?
Please join us.
I've brought the top of the class.
Eunbin! Come and have a seat.
Why isn't he coming in?
Hi.
Have a seat.
Mom, two more Tteokbokki please.
Are you sure you want to study Physical Education?
Yes, I do.
But I need better grades.
I'll crash the finals.
Oh~ Hope you do!
You want to study business management, right?
Yes, it's better for the law school.
Wow. It's another level.
You have everything planned.
What about you, Eunbin?
I'm going to apply for Public Administration or Foreign Policy.
What can you do after studying it?
I can be a public servant or get a job at a public corporation.
Ew. You have to take an exam.
Aren't you tired of exams?
You also have to sit an exam
to become a teacher.
Huh?
What?
Oh my god.
Ask Yuri if you don't know.
But I'm not sure I can make it.
I'm worried.
But you've got a great record of extra curricular activities.
What about you, Ganguk?
You did a great job with design last time.
I'm not going to go to university.
Really?
Are you not going to go to university?
I don't think I should.
I have something else I want to do.
What is it?
Well...
I'll tell you later.
Wow.
So cool.
Everyone knows what you want to do.
I now know why the teacher was so upset.
This is on the house.
Jinah, don't you have your dream job?
You should these days.
Please don't!
It looks so good.
Bon appetit.
- Thanks. - Of course.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Bye.
See you tomorrow.
See you later.
Ahh...
Aren't you embarrassed?
I can't even bring your name to any conversation
We're spending almost 10 million won a month
on consulting and everything.
And you're number two?
Can I change my major
if I become the top of the class?
Not again.
Do you want to see me go mad?
Aren't you sorry for me and your dad?
I'm sorry.
Is it okay to work longer hours?
I love it because you do such a great job.
I asked for it.
I should thank you.
Do you still write this stuff?
Public servant?
This used to be a dream job 15 years ago.
Aren't kids these days different?
They want to be YouTubers and all that.
Ah...
I like a stable job.
Ganguk.
Yes.
You must go to university if you want to become anything in Korea.
You see students dropping out on TV.
And that's their pride talking.
Wait for 10 years.
They'll regret it to death.
I don't understand.
What does going to university have to do with becoming anything?
Aren't you just trying to increase university admission rates?
What?
Also, when students drop out of school, it's not their pride talking.
They do it because they have a dream.
Where did you learn to talk back like that?
If you're done.
Hey!
You...
Oh my god.
Isn't this you?
Hey.
The ring! It's him!
This is sick. He's Shin Ganguk!
- Let's look at another clip. - Oh my god.
So
this is him.
Wow~ It's so cool.
What's the key to solving a grammar question?
I told you this 100 times.
Finding a position.
Correct.
You should see
if this should go here
or there.
So, if you look at question number two...
I feel anxious now.
Everyone is going somewhere.
But I don't know where I should go.
Where's mom?
Taking out the garbage.
It's late. Where are you going?
Drink in moderation. Mom's worried.
Mind your own business.
Will you be able to go to university in Seoul?
What?
Can't you see I'm doing my best?
Sure. Good work.
Love you, sis.
Hey!
Seriously.
Is she really my sister?
I'm glad you're here.
Could you help me wash dishes?
It was so busy today.
Why didn't you ask Jinseol?
She was here until now.
Could you just help me?
Let's wrap it up and go home.
I'm a high school senior.
You should fill this out and submit.
What are you going to write?
I don't know. I don't have a dream.
What are you talking about?
I was poor
and only boys in my family were educated.
But I'll let my daughters do whatever they want.
So just tell me what it is.
I really don't have a dream.
Look at Jinseol.
She wanted to be a psychologist since she was young.
The whole neighborhood knows her dream.
And she now attends SNU to study psychology.
How come I gave a birth to her?
I am so proud of her.
Mom.
Am I same as Jinseol?
Jinseol is called as a legend in my school.
Not Jinseol, but a legend. (a Korean pun)
How am I called?
I am just a baby sister of the legend.
Do you know how I feel when compared with Jinseol all the time?
That's not what I meant.
Look.
You let Jinseol go have fun.
But you make me wash the dishes.
Why?
You are proud of Jinseol,
but me?
Am I not your child as I am not good at study?
Jinah...
I...
I don't like people asking me about my dreams.
You don't know how stressful it is, do you?
You don't care about me, anyway.
What am I doing?
I can't go back.
Having no signs might mean that,
if I took a wrong path,
it could be the path towards misfortune.
Why didn't I know this?
Thank you.
Isn't it a luxury to you?
I feel jealous.
I am not doing it just for fun.
As I can't live without doing it,
I am doing it pulling all nighters everyday.
That's what I am saying.
I am jealous of that
you found something you want to do
and you can pull all nighters for that.
It's like 19's life.
I heard you are applying for education major.
Isn't being a teacher your dream?
A dream?
I want to think about it.
Ah... What's my dream?
Not being bullied, maybe?
I am applying as my dad told me to do so.
If I have a dream,
it would be
just
being graduated soon.
that's it.
You are here.
What are you doing?
You must be tired. Go wash and get some sleep.
Mom, this is too much...
What's wrong with you?
These are unnecessary.
These make you not to focus on study.
That's why you are always in 2nd place.
I got it.
I got it, so...
Please let these be here.
A movie? Huh?
Don't you dare to think about it.
If you had a talent in it, I would recognize before you.
I don't have any talent.
I didn't raise you,
wanting you to become like that.
What a surprise.
What are you doing here?
You must be cold.
Where's your bag?
What's with your hair?
Did you fight with someone?
I'm hungry.
Are you okay?
Lee Chansol, it's a relief that you're here.
May I have another fish cake bar?
Why haven't you eaten until this time?
Since when did you want to become a P.E. teacher?
Why do you want to do it?
What?
I see. You're good at exercising.
So you might want to do what you're good at.
I'm not good at anything. What have I done?
Hey, there are things you are good at.
You write well.
You have no clue.
Writing some Instagram posts doesn't mean that I'm not good at writing.
There are so many good writers in the world.
I'm nothing.
Why are you nothing?
You're Woo Jinah.
Hey, I don't feel like playing with words.
I'm not playing.
I just like you because you're you.
Whatever you do or not,
you're just you
Whatever you choose, I'll support you.
So, as a friend,
I like you as a friend.
I know, you fool.
I'm full.
Huh?
Hang on. Stay still.
It's alright.
It's okay.
I got this.
I just like you because you're you.
Whatever you do or not, you're just you.
Whatever you choose, I'll support you.
Having no signs means that no paths exist.
Doesn't that mean I can go anywhere?
I feel so burdened with my sign.
What's wrong? What's going on?
It's a bit long...
I'll listen to everything.
It can be long.
Am I living my life or my mom's life?
Maybe I was born just to fulfill my mom's dream.
As I follow the sign that my mom chooses,
it feels like I'm losing myself.

- What are you talking about? - You didn't do anything. - I did everything.

[ Is a Friend Next to Me a Competitor for the Entrance Exam? ]
So the best selling writer
has followed you, right?
Yes.
[ 2kijuwriter ] [ I found your article really great ]
[ I want to share with others. May I regram it on Instagram? ]
Yes, of course.
[ 2kijuwriter ]
And this person did a regram,
which gave you 900 more followers in a day.
Amazing.
People are saying that Jinah writes well and asking for its publish.
There are also a lot of comments.
Yes, it feels complicated.
It's not I like it, but at the same time I don't hate it.
Is this how attention whores usually feel?
Why? You just got acknowledged.
Hey, let's hit 1,000 followers.
Let's share it on our class group chat and,
ask my friends to spread it out on Facebook.
Don't do it.
It's just a casual writing so it'd be embarrassing.
What's embarrassing?
Can't you go a little casual in writing?
Isn't that right, Kim Doyoon?
What's wrong with you, Kim Doyoon?
Huh?
Why is he so blank?
Jinah, you've been recognized by your favorite writer.
I don't think you need to keep it as a secret to your friends.
Do you think so?
I've put a link to the group chat.
Okay. If I hit 1,000 followers, I will buy you chicken.
This person was...
Woo Jinah?
Jinah.
Look at this.
There's a book report contest held by our school.
Why don't you apply this?
Me?
No, I am fine.
Why? It might help you go to college.
You are good at writing. Just give it a try.
I'll follow you to the homeroom teacher.
A book report contest?
You?
Yes, I am just giving it a try.
You are so unpredictable.
All of a sudden you started writing?
Here, the application form.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Ah, Yuri.
Take your application form.
Go and write yours.
Do you want me to apply it as well?
Yeah, fill out the application and give it to the literature teacher.
I'm not good at writing.
Hey, give it a try.
Don't you want to major in education?
If you won this contest,
it'd make your resume look stronger.
Try it, huh?
When two people want the same thing,
the competition starts.
Why do I keep making mistakes?
[ [ Bank ] Withdrawal 15,000 won / Telecom balance 6,800 [ [ Bank ] Withdrawals 15,000 won / Balance 6,800 won ]
Eunbin, I can't send you money this month. I am really sorry.
It's okay... Mom...
What's this question book?
I've never seen this before.
Ah, it's the one I got from an academy.
Right. You got into Sungkwang's academy, didn't you?
But I heard that he doesn't accept students from non-specialized schools.
Well, it's thanks to my mom.
Hey, can I take a look?
Sure.
it's well-organized by questions levels and types.
Aren't you going to win first place on the evaluation test in June?
No way.
There's still a long way to go.
I won't apply for it.
Why not?
I never intended to apply it.
And there's no guarantee that I can get an award.
I think it's better to just focus on the finals.
It might be right.
But I...
I thought it would be good to prepare together with you.
Then shall we do it together?
Yes.
The root of a word, competition is
"to pursuit" something "together".
I asked my senior for
questions for last year and the year before.
It'd be similar question for this year as well.
I've summarized the story of the subject book.
As we can't read them all, it'd be nice to have a summary of it.
Oh!
You're not going to step on someone but
have a chance to grow together.
Aren't you applying for a book report contest?
It's no use.
They're going to support high graders only.
So it's useless to prepare this kind of competition.
It's only for those who would go to college.
True... Winners are decided by the teachers anyway.
They will choose high graders only.
A healthy competition is
a ghost image for people who believe in it.
Sorry.
My stomach hurts and I got an headache.
I'm not feeling well.
Okay, go to the health center and get some rest.
Take care of yourself.
You are the top grader of the school!
Thank you.
Ah...
You got into Sungkwang's academy, right?
I heard that he doesn't accept students from non-specialized schools.
Well, it's thanks to my mom...
I'm really sorry.
Everyone has different situations, conditions, and backgrounds.
So for every competition,
the starting point for each person is different.
- Okay, let's go to the cafeteria. - You're going to buy it?
Oh, what should I do?
Hey, this is hard to get.
Isn't it done by some crazy person?
It's scary.
Is someone jealous of him?
Hey, wasn't it Seo Eunbin rushing out for something?
Oh, Seo Eunbin must have been in the classroom.
She couldn't attend a gym class.
What?
It's like a horror movie.
I don't think it's what you think.
Eunbin won't do that.
Seo Eunbin is not a person who would do such a thing.
Oh, what are you going to do?
It's okay. I can buy a new one.
It's not a big deal.
Jinah's post seems too much trying to draw attentions.
It's full of nonsense.
She's so pretending.
Why is she applying for the contest?
Well, Yuri will beat her.
Yuri, why aren't you saying something? What are you doing?
I'm reading her post now.
It's a bit too much.
Why? Can't you focus?
A little bit?
Shall we go to a coin karaoke?
The contest is the day after tomorrow.
It's okay. We're going to sing one or two songs.
Let's go. Let's go!
Be quiet.
Wow! I had so much fun.
We spend an hour singing.
Yuri.
Huh?
Even after we go to college,
can we be friends like this?
Where is this coming from?
I am just thinking...
For a college, you're going to a better school than me.
You'll hang around with smart kids there.
What if you forget about me?
What are you talking about?
You're the smartest person I know.
If you become a famous writer, don't forget about me.
I won't do that.
Then let's meet even after we go to college.
Okay.
Ah, did you make up with your mom?
No, no.
Don't talk about my mom.
I don't need a mom who only cares about a big sister.
I'm never going to talk with her first.
Han Yuri!
I knew you would win the award.
Hey, it's obvious.
Thank you.
Oh, where's our famous writer's name?
If you're talking about me, it's not here.
I knew I couldn't make it.
It's out of her league.
Hey, that's too much.
Did you hear it? Sorry.
It's your first time writing an essay.
So if you try it again...
You.
Don't feel sorry for me.
That's worse.
Okay?
Yuri, aren't you coming?
Writing is not for everyone.
It was a great experience, though.
I can continue to write on my Instagram as a hobby.
It's just a casual thing.
I really like it.
- What? - What?
Ah...
Whenever I feel sad, I read your post.
I can relate to it.
I'm your fan.
Oh, Kim Doyoon.
Then subscribe and like it!
Hey, that's different.
I did everything already.
Hey, thank you.
I thought I found something I am good at.
I am home.
Look.
She doesn't care if a daughter is home or not.
Jinah...
Don't you think she seems upset these days?
Is it the dishwashing thing?
Did you ask her to wash the dishes?
Hey.
We promised not to make her work this year.
I got my hand burnt that day.
You got burned?
Hey... Be careful.
Jinseol got mature since she was so young as we were poor.
So I wanted to let Jinah do what she wanted.
But I am an awful mother who keeps comparing her with her sister.
Hey.
Don!
Who took care of our family after I ruined my business?
Don't worry too much.
It's your daughter!
Jinah will succeed no matter where she does.
Right, I trust my daughter.
Whatever she does, she'll do well, right?
Oh, you're here.
If you're here, you should change your clothes. What are you doing there?
Hey.
Jinah, are you crying?
Is she crying?
What's wrong?
Why are you crying?
Did someone tease you?
Mom.
If you got burnt, why didn't you tell me?
A word, possibility probably means
that I trust you.
Did you call me?
Hey, Jinah.
Have a sit.
Did you decide on your major?
Not yet.
What about creative writing?
Here's a list of schools which put more weights on practical writing skills.
If you apply for schools like this,
I think you would be competable.
Me?
Yes, I was the judge of the book report contest.
You've never written a book report, don't you?
It's not a book report but
an essay.
Your writing skills are good.
Let's do creative writing rather than writing reports.
I think it'd be good for you to attend a class during the summer vacation.
Not winning
might be different from losing sometimes.
Yes!
Oh, I lost again.
I guess I'm not good at games.
Since I won, I'll buy you a late night snack!
What about cup noodles and kimbap?
I lost. Why do you buy it?
I will buy it.
To be honest,
I already bought it.
What?
Who can stop you?
What about a writing class? Have you found a good one?
Of course.
I almost died as it's so hard.
I'll hurry up. See you later.
Jinah is an attention whore. Writing is for a smart ones like Yuri.
Unless she hits 100,000 followers, she's just nobody.
If I were in her shoes, I'd be so embarrassed.
Who'd read her writing anyway?
Hey, I got so angry. Why don't we have chicken?
Right now? I'm in.
Of course, I'm in.
What about Yuri?
It's my mom's birthday today.
Sorry... Have fun!
I spilled it.
Sorry.
Ah...
It's okay. It's nothing.
I didn't do that on purpose.
I know.
But why...
Why isn't something special?
Every competition has a different starting point.
Fair competition
doesn't exist.
Huh?
It's hard to get.
It's not sold anywhere.
I messed it up.
You have to buy it again.
Is it nothing special to you?
I think you made a mistake.
If I ask him, I can get it again.
Actually, I haven't solved other question books so don't worry.
You're really...
Everything is easy for you.
It's not
like what you think.
I apologized.
I'll go.
Before I start,
I got too late.
Hey...
What is this?
I wanted to give it to you before, but I didn't have a chance.
It's a question book for the KSAT.
It only has the top 1 percent questions with high scores.
I think it will help you too.
I just need to get a minimum grade cut.
But you are think about getting the highest scores as possible, right?
You.
You don't see me as a rival?
You never beat me.
We...
We have different directions.
It's not competition when we have the different goals.
We can both get what we want.
Don't play the hypocrite.
That makes me
feel sick and miserable.
