JUCHAN: Hey.

SUNYU: Hey.

(sentimental music)

(indistinct chatter)

(chuckles)

(gasps)

(sighs)

(whimpers)

JUCHAN: Hey, you.

Eunkang?

(sighs)

Is that you, Eunkang?

(exhales sharply)

(breathes deeply)

(chuckles awkwardly)

What are you doing here?

(stammering)
Well...

It was so stuffy in there,
so I came out to get some fresh air.

EUNKANG: But then I realized
the moon was so bright.

And I ended up here.

I should get going. Bye.

(gasps)

This isn't the way.
(chuckles awkwardly)

JUCHAN: Eunkang.

(gasps)

(indistinct chatters)

If you're wearing glasses,
fold one finger.

Oh, come on.

Hey, dude. This isn't fair.

Wait. Halt.

I was only wearing it temporarily.

I usually don't wear glasses.
You know that.

Really? Then I changed my mind.
(sniffs)

If you were temporarily wearing glasses,
fold your finger.

-(chuckles)
-Are you kidding me now?

-All right. Is it my turn?
-Mm-hmm.

(quirky music)

If you use a Gyeongsang dialect,
fold a finger.

Oh, no. Poor him.
Looks like he wants you to drink.

Well, I think it's a good idea.

Oh, no! You're barely hanging in there.

All right. It's my turn, right?

Yes.

If four of your fingers are folded,
fold one finger.

(all laughing, cheering)

Bravo.

-Nice!
-Drink, drink, drink, drink

Hey!

-Wait. Isn't that a bit...
-You sure you can handle that?

(laughs)

-You can do it.
-Man, that's...

-You can do it.
-ALL: There goes the drink

ALL: Drink, drink, drink, drink

-ALL: Drink, drink, drink, drink
-(singing stops abruptly)

(Tak chugging)

Hey, you got the wrong one.

I told you it'd be a waste of a drink.

Wait. Where is Eunkang?
I haven't seen her for a while.

-Eunkang?
-Yes.

I think she went to the bathroom.
I saw her leaving earlier.

-ARI: What's taking so long?
-JUYOUNG: Really?

DAEIL: All right. Let's move on.

JUCHAN: You got me.
I thought I was being careful.

(bulb flickering)

(sentimental music)

You'll keep it a secret, right?

What?

(mumbles)

Of course. I will.
(chuckles awkwardly)

I didn't see anything. Don't worry.

I couldn't tell you because both of us
are in the Student Council.

-We've been dating for a while.
-I see.

I really didn't see anything,

so please tell her
she doesn't have to worry.

Thanks for understanding.

No worries.

(alarm clock ringing)

ROOKIE COPS

(theme music)

ROOKIE COPS

RESEARCH AND LECTURE HALL

YUGON: Why are you here?

MALE STUDENT: To learn
about security policies

for keeping people safe and happy.

(smacks lips)

(cheerful music)

I thought the interview was over.
You got in already.

Let's be honest.
Some of you must've applied

because this school is tuition-free
and guarantees you a job.

YUGON: And that's okay.

I did the same 25 years ago.

Why did you come to this school?

(clears throat)

I came here...

because I want to investigate

cases.

But...

cops aren't the only ones
who investigate cases.

Pardon?

Sherlock Holmes isn't a cop,
but he conducts investigations.

I'm saying you don't need to be a cop
if you want to do investigations.

But cops are... cool.

(class clamoring)

Okay.

Then let's find out the differences

between private detectives
and police officers.

YUGON: People like Sherlock Holmes
are called private detectives.

Private investigation
is still illegal in Korea,

but anyway, both private detectives and
police officers conduct investigations.

Then how are they different?

The biggest difference is...

who they work for.

We, police officers, solve criminal cases
in order to promote peace in society

while private detectives work
for their clients, which are individuals.

They solve problems for specific groups
of people and make profits.

Thus, the biggest difference between them

is whether they were hired
by the state or individuals.

That's the difference.

(quirky music)

(panting)

INSIK: Gosh.

(scoffs)

(door creaks)

(door closes)

YUGON: You're late on your first day.

(breathes heavily)

I guess it's too generous to say
you're late.

Because the class ends in five minutes.

I'm sorry, sir.

YUGON: Why are you late?

Here, you can't catch up with classes
if you drink and oversleep all the time.

If that's the college life
you were expecting, you'd better quit.

In my experience, students like you
can't hold out here for long.

No, sir. I'm sorry, sir.

You don't have to say sorry to me.

You should rather be sorry to yourself
for already forgetting why you came here.

YUGON: That's it for today.

CLASS: Thank you, sir.

I want you to write a report

about what you're going to do here
for the next four years. Understood?

Yes, sir.

(crockery clanging)

Mmm.

-It's tasty.
-Gosh, I feel so sick.

This is why you should drink moderately.

I knew this would happen.
You were drinking too much.

You should have stopped me.

What is she saying?

Wow. This is why they say
humans are ungrateful.

Don't you remember?

(upbeat music)

GROUP: ♪ Frying pan game!
Frying pan game! ♪

-Bumju, three!
-Bumju, Bumju...

(group laughing, cheering)

All right! Bumju!

-EUNKANG: I'll drink it.
-Oh, my.

(exhales)

-JUYOUNG: Ooh.
-ARI: Huh?

She's drinking for him. This is new.

Zero, zero, seven, bang!

-You lost.
-You lost.

This is my drink, right?

-I'll drink it for you.
-JUYOUNG: Hey, wait. Again?

ARI: What's gotten into her?

GROUP: ♪ Three, six, nine,
three, six, nine ♪

-DAEIL: Eleven!
-JUYOUNG: Come on. Drink up.

All right.

(group humming)

(Ari gasps)

-BUMJU: Hey.
-ARI: Hey, you should stop drinking.

-JUYOUNG: What's wrong with her?
-ARI: Stop drinking.

-Stop drinking.
-JUYOUNG: What's wrong with her?

-Drink.
-Drink. Hold on.

-I'll drink it for you.
-Hey, you should stop drinking now.

Let go. It's mine.

BUMJU: Man. She's drinking so much.

Did I?

ARI: By the way,
where were you last night?

You were gone for a while. Then you
suddenly showed up and started drinking.

You put Seunghyun
through a lot yesterday.

Seunghyun? Why?

(laughing)

I love you, Juyoung!

-You little brat. I'm going to arrest you.
-Hey!

-Hey.
-ARI: She must have lost her mind.

My gosh.

Unbelievable.

-What? What is this?
-Hey.

-Come here.
-Get on his back.

Carry her.

(both grunting)

EUNKANG: Guys.

Be quiet and go to bed.

Thanks.

I'll go clean up the room.

-But...
-Okay.

-JUYOUNG: Thank you so much.
-Come on. Where are you going?

Let me come with you!

Gosh, stop moving. You're heavy.

(retching)

EUNKANG I didn't do anything strange,
did I?

(insect buzzing)

(grumbles)

You've got to be kidding me.
Eunkang, that idiot...

(retches)

Jeez.

Gosh.

(sighs)

I don't know
what kind of a ruckus you made,

but his face was so haggard
when he came back.

JUYOUNG: I would have left you
on the street, if I were him.

When he arrived to our room yesterday,

he seemed somewhat really shocked.

ARI: Didn't he?

As if he saw something he shouldn't have.

-Really?
-You didn't kiss him, did you?

(all gasp)

I love you, Seunghyun.

I love you, Eunkang.

EUNKANG: Stop it! You guys are crazy!

-Hey, Seunghyun is over there.
-What do we do?

-JUYOUNG: Eat up.
-ARI: Okay.

-Why does he have to be sitting there?
-JUYOUNG: So think about it.

ARI: Yes.

-JUYOUNG: Think about it.
-ARI: Yes.

(munching)

-Hi.
-Hi.

Sorry. I was a bit drunk last night.

A bit?

You were completely wasted.

It seemed like
it was your first time drinking.

Why did you drink so much?

I was feeling a bit...

I mean, now Cheongram Education is over

and I'm an official student of KNPU,
I was feeling excited.

So I went a little overboard.
(chuckles awkwardly)

But...

I didn't do anything strange, right?

Strange?

What do you mean?

(sighs in relief)

I was so worried.

Well, I may get drunk,
but I never cross the line.

(chuckles)

Anyway, thanks for helping me yesterday.

Bye, then.

(chuckles)

(retches)

Why do I feel like

I'm missing something?

You.

Yes, sir. KNPU freshman Ko Eunkang, sir!

-You were late this morning, weren't you?
-Pardon?

-Yes, sir.
-And you didn't salute me.

Salute?

You'd better get your act together.

Don't you know basic etiquette at school?

Sorry, sir. I'll get it right, sir.

Taking classes
is a student's fundamental duty.

One report for being late to class.

One report for dressing untidily
and running around campus.

One report for ignoring me
even though you saw me!

Write these three reports

and hand them in to me
by the end of the day.

-Yes, sir.
-Answer properly.

Yes, sir.

(sighs)

EUNKANG: I thought
Cheongram Education was over.

Are we doing it again?

ARI: Of course, it's not over.
Only the Training Corps got disbanded.

The seniors who were in the corps
are all in the Honorary Student Council.

Honorary Student Council?

Right. You were late today.

The members of the Honorary
Student Council can give you punishments

when you dishonor the school
or violate school regulations.

It's like a student guidance department.

(indistinct chattering)

And Hyuk is the top member there.

You should have told me!
What am I going to do?

Well, obviously,
your college life is doomed now.

(gasps)

The next four years are going to be
pretty exciting for you.

There's hope though.
Our seniors will graduate one day.

Until then, hang in there. You can do it!

-JUYOUNG: Ari, Ari, Ari, Ari!
-ARI: Yes?

They assigned us to new dorm rooms.
And we're roommates.

-Wow! Really?
-(cheering)

What about me? Who's my roommate?

(gasps)

What?

JUYOUNG: I'm glad
you've recovered quickly.

Yes, sir.

As you probably know already,

your punishment has been canceled.

-Thank you, sir.
-You don't have to thank me.

If anyone,
you should thank Ms. Ko Eunkang.

Ko Eunkang?

After you got injured, Ms. Go filed
a complaint against the school.

Which is why Cheongram Education
had been abolished,

and naturally,
your punishment was canceled.

Anyway...

we have some unfinished business

between us.

(somber music)

You still didn't tell me
who gave this to you.

(suspenseful music)

-(women laughing)
-HANNA'S MOTHER: I told you to drink it.

SEVEN STAR

My gosh! Look at you!

Oh, no. Be careful.
I'll see you the day after tomorrow!

-HANNA'S MOTHER: Put your seat belt on.
-WOMAN: Please come again.

-HANNA'S MOTHER: Bye.
-(car door closes)

WOMAN: Good night.

(chuckling)

WOMAN: Oh.

Hanna!

Hanna!

(vehicle honking)

Maybe she didn't hear me.

That disrespectful wench.
Where did she get that from?

Who else? You, obviously!

(laughing)

(birds chirping)

(school speaker chiming)

FEMALE STUDENT 1: Hey, Hanna.
Look at you, studying.

(students laughing)

-(groans)
-(laughing)

What was that?

FEMALE STUDENT 2: Move.

(laughing continues)

FEMALE STUDENT 1: Is she really studying?

(somber music)

FEMALE STUDENT 2: Hey.

Don't you smell alcohol?

(laughing continues)

FEMALE STUDENT 1: Gross.

My dad said...

her mom's coworkers came to his clinic.

To get tested for STDs.

STUDENTS: Really?

That's gross.

(laughing continues)

(students laughing, giggling)

FEMALE STUDENT 2: What are you looking at?

Hey, you should come to my dad's clinic
to get tested too.

(somber music continues)

What are you looking at?
What the hell are you looking at?

(foreboding music)

-(thuds)
-(female student 2 screaming)

(female student 2 shuddering)

MALE (on PA): Currently here
at West Gangneung Police Station...

Your mom isn't answering the phone.
Do you have any other guardian?

No.

(parent scoffs)

Even if she answers,
she'll be too drunk to come over.

Gosh, what are you glaring at?
Stop glaring at me!

You think you're so great
because you're the top student,

but I'm going to teach you a lesson.

I'll set up a school violence committee
and get you expelled.

-You'll see!
-Your daughter picked on me first.

She hit me first too!

Hey! How is a playful push
the same as attacking with a weapon?

It was self-defense.

What? Hey!

(slams desk)

Look. These are
all the complaints we received.

They're all saying
your husband is treating fake patients.

CCTV IN USE

NAMGI: Once this gets out,
it's going to cause quite a stir.

(phone ringing in distance)

(somber music)

(parent grumbles)

(scoffs)

(door closes)

(engine revving)

Excuse me...

Thank you.

Hey, if you have a criminal history
on your school record,

you won't be able to go to a good college.

It was reckless of you. Go home now.

(foreboding music)

(beeping)

-A spy cam?
-Set it up during the training.

But why do you...

NAMGI: I'll tell you why later.

Please do me this favor.

YUGON: I guess you need more time.

Fine.

(breathes deeply)

But I want you to keep this in mind.

You can't fix what's already happened,

but what you're going to do in the future

is up to you.

(exhales)

(door lock chimes)

(door creaks open)

(door lock chimes)

(Eunkang clears throat)

I picked one randomly
because you weren't here.

If you want, we can switch.

(clears throat)

It's okay.

(clears throat)

BUMJU: I'm unpacking now.

(chuckles)
Don't worry.

The food here is great,
and all my colleagues are nice.

My roommate?

He's nice. He's not ordinary though.

(disturbing quirky music)

(door shuts)

(exhales slowly)

(breathes heavily)

(exclaiming)

It's here. This is the place.

What do you mean?

(sighs)
I don't care.

My uncle hit the jackpot in his business,

so he built a three-story building
in Gapyeong and moved there.

Then he started to have nightmares
and see things every night.

He also got sick for no reason.

DAEIL: His dog suddenly died
and his wife got into a car accident.

His life became a mess. Do you know why?

Water veins?

Bingo. There was a water vein
under the house he built.

After he found that vein,
all those symptoms disappeared.

(sighs)
You're lying again.

Come on. It really happened.

Some mysteries of the universe
cannot be explained by science.

(sighs)

This is a spiritual matter.
I can't explain everything.

Anyway,

you guys are really lucky.

DAEIL: You're going to get
a good night's sleep thanks to me.

Okay.

The water vein is now completely blocked.
Put it back now.

Move, for God's sake.

(exhales sharply)

Man, this is nice.

Hey, if you're done, go.
Why are you lying on my bed?

I don't want to. I want to stay here.

-What's wrong with him?
-I guess we need to take action.

(action music)

Guys, what are you doing?
Is this how you repay my kindness?

(metal clatters)

ORANGEADE

ARI: Aww...

Really?

(chuckles)

Of all the girls, why her?

-It's like Sleeping With the Enemy.
-I don't know.

Freshmen are supposed to
use the assigned room,

so I can't change the room.

Even if you could,
no one would like to be her roommate.

Everyone hates her.

Anyway, whenever I walk into the room,
it's like walking on eggshells.

Why do you have to be nervous around her?
She should be thankful to you.

I mean, she got out
of solitary confinement

thanks to the abolishment
of Cheongram Education.

She should be really grateful to you.
You're the one who made it happen.

She would never do that. You know that.

You know what she said?

CHEERFUL INDIE SONGS

(door chimes)

Hey, can I listen to music?

I'd like to stay quiet in the room.

Oh...

Okay.

Let's try not to bother each other.

And let's stay out of
each other's business.

Are you saying
you don't even want to talk?

If you have something to say,
leave a note.

ARI: No way!

Maybe she's doing that on purpose.

To piss you off.

-(slams table)
-Don't let her walk all over you.

I'm ignoring her too.

Good.

Seriously, she has no shame.

ARI: Gosh.

MIKANG: Hello?

When are you coming home?

You said you'd come
when the training's over.

I'm going this weekend. Why?

Mom wants to know what you want to eat.

Uh...

Fried shrimp?

-Except that.
-Why?

I had it yesterday.

(scoffs, grumbles)

If you're not going to listen to me,
why did you even ask?

(door chimes)

(coughs)

(whispers)
I'll call you back later. Okay. Bye.

(keyboard clacking)

(sighs)

(Eunkang exhales sharply)

(keyboard clacking)

I CAME TO THIS SCHOOL BECAUSE

(sighs)

Obviously, it's because...

(sentimental music)

(exhales sharply)

(gasps)

(indistinct chattering)

-(Eunkang shrieks)
-(thuds)

(students gasp)

(students clamoring, laughing)

(sighs)

(chuckles awkwardly)

(groans)

(grunts)

You should have been careful.

You're so clumsy.

-Did you see that?
-It was impossible to miss it.

It was such a loud thud.

Hurry up and put it on.
So it doesn't leave a scar.

(groans)
Man, that's a big scar for a girl.

Thanks for the bandage,
but don't pick a fight with me.

I'm not in the mood.

-Is everything all right?
-Gosh, that burns.

(groans)

KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY

-Is it fun?
-What?

School. Is it fun?

(chuckles)

Who goes to school for fun?

What else then?

(birds chirping)

A sense of responsibility.

I do my best to be responsible
for my decision.

Whether it's fun or not.

So I can see.

Well, I'm not the type of person
who can be patient with everything.

I used up all my patience
preparing for the CSAT.

I can't do that in college anymore.

I mean, we're college students,

but everything's just like
back in high school.

Look. We wake up early in the morning,
put our uniforms on, and take classes.

Then we eat at the cafeteria
and do our homework.

And why do I have to write
so many letters of apology?

To become a better writer?

(sighs)

Dealing with a roommate I can't
get along with is stressing me out too.

It sucks.

You knew it'd be a communal life here.

I did. But there's literally no fun here.

We're wasting our youth
and this nice spring weather.

This was not the college life I expected.

So what?

Are you going to quit?

I'm considering it.

Maybe I should take the CSAT again.

Then what was all the fuss about?

You're the one who encouraged the kids
and made things complicated.

SEUNGHYUN: If you were going to quit,
you should have quit before coming.

You took away
someone else's chance to learn here.

Hey, that's not fair.
I'm being serious here.

Because you're being pathetic.

It's only been a week
since school started.

SEUNGHYUN: Why did you start this
in the first place?

And I thought I could trust you.
I must have lost my mind.

Huh?

What's wrong with him?

I can't even say it's not fun?

Unbelievable.

What a great excuse.
I know that's not the reason.

(exhales)

Hey. Wake up.

Come on. Let's go.

-Let's go.
-(groaning)

(sighs)

(exhales sharply)

(quirky music)

(sobs)
Juchan.

This isn't fair.

(Eunkang sobbing)
Juchan.

Don't go out with Sunyu.

Do you know why I came here?

You said you wanted to study with me.

Why did you say that
when you already had a girlfriend?

I... I...

Why did I come here...

(whimpering)

(Eunkang whimpering)

-You're doing great. See you around.
-EUNKANG: Bye.

SEUNGHYUN: You came here for a guy.

Came here to let them
know what's wrong? What a joke.

-What's up?
-Let go.

SEUNGHYUN: A blind date?

Yeah.

Since it's our first weekend off,

I prepared an exciting meeting.

(humming)
Mmm...

(clicks tongue)
Follow me.

(humming)
Mmm...

They're music majors.

Freshmen majoring in piano. Mmm.

Gorgeous, right?

-Just the two of us?
-Yes.

Bumju said he's meeting his family
and Tak is going to Gimhae.

Well... I'll think about it.

Don't be shy. Gosh.

Take the chance while you can, okay?

DAEIL: You know what?

Love is all about timing.

Cute girls like her
are almost never single.

Now is the time.

Saturday, 1 p.m. at Gangnam Station. Okay?

See you.

(uplifting music)

On freshmen's first leave,

they must put the uniforms on,
according to custom.

Your uniform is the proof
that you're students of KNPU,

so be extra careful
not to disgrace your school.

INSIK: One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.

HYUK: I wish you all safe trips.

Understood?

STUDENTS: Yes, sir!

Go.

Thank you, sir!

(indistinct chattering)

I'll see you later.

(sizzles)

(somber music)

REST IN PEACE

DETECTIVE: My. All the big names
from KNPU are here.

(footsteps approaching)

HEAD OF INVESTIGATION DIVISION, WI GIYONG

(thuds)

NAMGI: Is that it?

Do you think I came to you
just to get that one superintendent?

(thrilling music)

The thing Hyunsoo left!

(breathes heavily)

Give it to me.

There was nothing more
than what the National Police Agency said.

(scoffs)

NAMGI: I knew it.

You were one of them.

You met Mr. Cho, didn't you?

Those KNPU graduates!

How much hush money
did they get from Mr. Cho?

Let go. Let go!

You'll see. I'll disclose everything.

You!

And the corrupt KNPU graduates!

I'll finish you all!

-Good work. Bye.
-Bye.

(exhales)

(honks)

It's been a while.

I heard you're at Gangneung.

You should come back to Seoul though.

That place doesn't deserve
a competent cop like you.

I'm not sure if that would ever happen.

-Because I'm not from KNPU.
-You haven't changed.

(vehicle honking)

Call me if you need any help.

(suspenseful music)

(sighs)

DETECTIVE: Seeing that he even sent
his son there,

he must love his power so much.

Apparently,
Wi's son entered KNPU recently.

Right. You went to the school
for a special lecture.

Have you seen him?

CALL, MESSAGE, VIDEO CALL, DETAILS

CONGRESSMAN SEO KICHUL

NAMGI: Yes, sir.
I came up with a different idea.

This time it will work.
I'll get you the details soon.

(door chimes)

(cellphone buzzing)

MR. KANG

(cellphone buzzing)

YUGON: But I want you
to keep this in mind.

What you're going to do in the future
is up to you.

(cellphone buzzing continues)

(sentimental music)

-My salary?
-Yes.

Why would you ask me that?

Actually, my wife says
I should quit all this

and open a bar together.

I heard you worked
at Gangnam police station.

Didn't you save up any bribe money?

What?

You little...

I thought you were transferred here
because you collected bribes.

Otherwise, why would you come
to the boondocks?

(sighs)

I want to be a cop too.

Then no one would mess with me

and get a decent pension
for being a civil servant too.

My grades are good,
so I can go to any school I want.

Then you should be a prosecutor.

(exhales)
I've considered that too,

but with the bar exam abolished,
I need to go to law school.

And the tuition costs a fortune.
I don't have that kind of money.

Besides, I heard connections are
super important in that field.

I've got nothing. It's not for me.

So I'm going to KNPU.

HANNA: It'll be easier.

(sighs)

KNPU?

Hey.

Stop cutting class
and focus on your studies.

(both laugh)

(cellphone buzzing)

MR. KANG

Yes, Mr. Kang.

DRIVER: Are you going straight home, sir?

I'm having dinner with my family today.

My son is on his first leave.

(sighs)
I wonder if he got the training all right.

It seemed like
there was a lot going on at the school.

DRIVER: Sir.

Seunghyun, have some more of this.

-Eat up.
-Okay.

Hold on.

Oh, no. You got so skinny.

Wait. Maybe you're ill.

(chuckles)
Gosh, no. I'm fine.

GIYONG: Enough.

It was just some training.

Just like men born in Korea
are ought to serve in the military,

KNPU students are ought to get training.

Because of
overprotective parents like you,

children are getting weaker and weaker.

(crockery clanging)

I'm really fine.

Cheongram Education fizzled out
at the end, so it was rather easy.

Right. I heard about it on the news.

So Cheongram Education is going to be
abolished starting next year?

Yes. It was a violent tradition.

It should have been abolished long ago.

This year's freshmen
worked it out together.

SOOKJA: I see.

I heard he stood against
the Training Corps with a girl.

DRIVER: He also collected signatures...

to refuse Cheongram Education.

GYOGAKSALU

Do you know what it means?

Gyogaksalu.

SEUNGHYUN: "Killing the cow
to get at the horns."

It means to ruin things
while trying to fix a flaw.

Correct.

I heard you stood against
the Training Corps

and collected signatures
to refuse Cheongram Education.

I did.

That was immature of you.

GIYONG: The school is a place

where kids from different families
with different values are gathered.

In order to make them all
look in the same direction,

someone has to teach them order
and monitor them.

And those who break rules
must be punished.

It is immature
to find it unfair and blame the punishers.

(slams table)
Because the police...

work for order and work by orders.

But if we're led in the wrong direction,

I believe we must have the courage
and responsibility to stand up against it.

Exactly how were you led wrong?

Students have personalities,
and they need to be respected.

But they weren't. That was the problem.

You think when you respect humans,
they would act more responsibly.

That's very naive of you.

(exhales sharply)

GIYONG: When you respect humans,

they want more.

They'll only start to claim their rights,
not willing to tolerate loss or injustice.

Which will result in social chaos.

What stops humans' selfishness
and such chaos is not respect.

It is fear.

(sighs)

(door opens)

(exclaims)

(quirky music)

What is all this?

(groans)

Why would you put these things in my room?

What the heck is all this?

(blows air)

Even a dog would be treated better
if it came back after a month.

(slurping)

YANGCHUL: Stop complaining.
We're trying to have breakfast here.

Did you expect the whole family
to be waiting for you?

We were late because we were busy.

Why did you ask when I was coming
if you're not going to wait?

As I said, she was working
on her graduation project

and I went to the ER

because one of my soccer club
members got injured.

And your mom was busy
working the store alone.

It's not even a big deal! Stop frowning!

YANGCHUL: If you're going
to keep frowning,

stop eating and go to your room.
It's annoying me.

Stop it. We're at the breakfast table.

Come on. Eat up.

You must be happy I'm not home

because you can put all kinds of junk
in my room.

My room isn't a closet.

Oh, the treadmill. I'll take it out.

I was going to. Now, eat up.

Well, the living room is cramped,
can't we put it in the empty room?

When you go back to the dorm,
you won't use the room anyway.

Yes, I will. I'm going to use it.

I'll quit school and move back in,
so take out all the junk inside.

You...

-YANGCHUL: You think this is your house?
-(door opens)

-It's my house!
-(door slams close)

I said I'm good!

Come on. It'll be a nice change of pace.

EUNKANG: What...

It's on me. I got my paycheck.

-But why would you...
-MIKANG: Stop talking and come in.

-I don't want to...
-Come on. I already made a reservation.

What am I going to do there?

(breathes heavily)
Well, obviously, I'm just lying down.

Tak. I really miss you.

What's wrong with you?

(scoffs)

Hi, Brother.

(Tak sighs)

Did you have to dress like that?

Girls love guys in uniform.

It's the symbol of
trust, responsibility, and masculinity.

It's been scientifically proven too.

See?

To be honest, this is super embarrassing.

Hey, I told you to stay away from him.

Hey, Kim Tak. That's mean.

I was going to set you up with someone too
if this goes well.

Not interested. Have fun.

This is killing me.
(sighs)

-(cellphone buzzing)
-Hey. They're here. Hang up the phone.

(clears throat)

Hello?

(gasps)

TAK: I hope they don't
embarrass themselves.

(gasps)

(exhales sharply)

(uplifting music)

(grunts)

THE 20TH NATIONAL YOUTH JUDO CHAMPIONSHIP
1ST PLACE, KIM TAK

1ST PLACE, SAMJEON HIGH SCHOOL
KIM TAK

CERTIFICATE OF AWARD

TAK: Grandma.

You said you have nightmares sometimes.

I heard it's all
because of the water veins.

The house seems all right,
but the store...

Something's off about the store.

(clicks tongue, sighs)

I've been running business here
for 20 years now.

If there was something with the location,
I would've shut down long ago.

Is that so?

(clicks tongue)

(metal clanks)

(sighs)

TAK: It looks like all the kids are gone.

Let's wrap it up and go home.

What about the leftovers?

I have some regulars
who drop by on their way home.

But I've been away for a while.
Take it easy.

Grandma, what are you doing? Let me do it.

-Come on out.
-What?

-What are you doing? Go get some rest.
-Jeez.

(water running)

How's school?

Is it tough?

TAK: Tough? No.
It's so much easier than judo.

Do you really have to study there?

There you go again.

You know what happened to your brother
while studying there.

After both my son
and daughter-in-law passed on...

(somber music)

...my two grandsons were my only family.
And now you're the only one left.

I can't live anymore if you leave me too.

Don't worry!
I'm going to live longer than you.

So don't worry.

(chuckles)

GIRL: What is it?

-What?
-You keep staring at me.

(gasps)

DAEIL: By the way,
did you change your hairstyle?

I thought you had longer hair.

(gasps)
Ahh...

-You mean, my profile picture.
-Yes.

(chuckles)
That's my friend.

-What?
-She was my best friend in middle school.

But then she moved to Australia.

I set her picture on my profile
so I can see her whenever I want.

GIRL: She and the two of us here are like

-three sisters.
-Three sisters.

(girls laughing)

BOTH: Three sisters...
(laughing)

By the way,

you have a very pure soul.

-Pardon?
-Do you perhaps

believe in the supernatural?

ARE YOU AFRAID OF DEATH TOO?
THE WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE

All right. I'll be right there. Okay.

Yes. Oh, is that so?

All right. Then I'll hurry and...

(girls giggling)

Oh, right.

Our senior urgently needs us. We're sorry.

Sure. We can meet another time.

Well, we should get going now.

-Okay.
-Okay.

-All right.
-GIRL: I'll call you.

Sure.

-Eternal life!
-Reincarnation.

Are you finished?
Yes, I'm at a pharmacy nearby.

I paid the bill, so you can just come out.

Let's go eat something nice.

-(Mikang yelps)
-(tire screeches)

-(engine revving)
-(lady screaming)

What was that?
(gasping)

-(engine revving)
-(tire screeching)

Please, catch him! Oh, no! My bag!

(action music)

-(engine revving)
-(vehicle honking)

-(vehicle honking)
-(tire screeches)

(engine revving)

Hey! Let me borrow this.

DAEIL: Are you okay?

Hey, where are you going? Seunghyun!

Seunghyun!

(tire screeches)

(engine rumbling)

(tire screeches)

Whoa! Oh...

-(engine revving)
-(crowd screaming)

(engine revs)

(thrilling music)

(engine rumbling)

(tire screeches)

(engine rumbling)

-(car honking)
-(tire screeches)

(engine revving)

(crowd screaming)

(crowd clamoring)

-(tire screeches)

(yelps)

(engine revs)

(tire screeches)

(motor whooshes)

-(thuds)
-(tire screeches)

(robber grunts)

-ROBBER: Let go!
-(crowd clamoring)

Get off of me!

(grunting)
I said, let go!

(crowd screaming)

(thuds)

WOMAN ON CROWD: My goodness.

(crowd clamoring)

-Are you okay?
-(groans)

-Hey...
-(whimpers)

-SEUNGHYUN: You're bleeding.
-(Eunkang crying)

Why did you...

(exhales sharply)

You should have given him the purse
when you saw the knife.

You could have hurt yourself.

Whatever. I heard you had a blind date.

-What?
-Daeil told me.

Look at you dressed all nicely.

EUNKANG: Are those new?

No. They're old ones.

Daeil organized it without asking me.
We just had some tea.

By the way, what's with your hair?

Are you going to go to school like that?

Are you really quitting?

Well...

(scoffs)

Good thinking.

An overzealous cop like you
would only cause trouble.

For the future of Korean police,
you'd better quit.

Who are you to say I should quit or not?

Besides, the thief was caught
because of me.

I ran at him
because I didn't think it through.

If I had, I wouldn't have done that.

This doesn't mean I'm stupid though.

I'm actually very intellectual.
I just don't show it.

Well, then...

-stay.
-Of course, I will.

All right. See you next week.

How dare he judge me.

-Excuse me.
-Is there...

-Eunkang!
-Eunkang!

-Hey.
-Are you okay?

Let me see. Are you all right?

-Did you get hurt?
-No, I'm fine.

-HEESOOK: Really?
-EUNKANG: I'm fine.

You scared us...

Why did you do that?

(cat meows)

(Yangchul munches)

(groans)

You should have thought it through.
You could have died.

When there's a fight on the street,
cops don't come right away.

They come after
everyone is exhausted from fighting.

I didn't know he'd wield a knife.
If I had, I wouldn't have run at him.

You should be thankful
you didn't hurt yourself.

My hands shook like crazy
when I got the phone call.

(exclaims)

I'm going to die if I eat all that shrimp.

It's all for you.

I heard you wanted to eat fried shrimp.

Mom and Dad went to the fish market

yesterday morning
to make you fried shrimp.

(clears throat)

But why did you have to buy 100 of them?

HEESOOK: They only come
in big portions these days.

Why didn't you tell me about it earlier?

Because you didn't let us.

You started grumbling
the moment you arrived.

Eunkang,

you used to be this small. And now
you're all grown up, drinking with me.

-Time sure does fly.
-(Heesook laughs)

Let me fill your glass. All right.
(exhales)

-(glass clinks)
-(pouring)

There.

-EUNKANG: Cheers.
-Everyone, cheers.

ALL: Cheers.

-(slurping)
-(all exclaiming)

EUNKANG: I'm the second daughter.

It's fried so well.

(keyboard clacking)

(reflective music)

My sister has been weak
since she was little,

so many people took good care of her.

ROCKFOILS

(rain pattering)

MAN: All right. Let's go. How was school?

(indistinct chattering)

WOMAN 2: Come on. Hurry.

EUNKANG: On rainy days,
my mom would take an umbrella

and only go to my sister's school.

That's why I spent
my entire childhood struggling.

-YOUNG EUNKANG: Give it!
-YOUNG MIKANG: Let go! What are you doing?

Give it to me!

-Let go!
-Give it to me!

Gosh! I told you
you'll get yours next year.

No! I want a new one too!

Come on! Give it to me!

Come on! Give it!

HEESOOK: Mikang, hurry and go to school.
Come on. Hurry.

Hey!
(panting)

Hey! Put on your shoes!

-(door shuts)
-(panting)

EUNKANG: I was the only one
who could help me.

People used to tell me...

YANGCHUL: I've got
to talk some sense into her.

If you act like that outside,
you'll be like the ugly duckling.

(door slams close)

EUNKANG: And I came to believe it.

A mean ugly duckling.

But here, I realized that

I can encourage and help others too.

STUDENTS: Ko Eunkang!

(crowd clamoring)

EUNKANG: Sometimes, I regret what I did,

Thank you so much, Miss!

...but then hearing "Thank you"
makes me feel good again.

It was nothing.

(whimpering)
Seriously, thank you so much.

EUNKANG: I came to think...

(breathes heavily)
I might actually be a pretty good person

who can offer help to those who need me.

Now that I think about it,
I have never deeply thought

about what kind of person I am
or what kind of person I want to be.

All my life, I've just been struggling
not to be left behind.

So, I'd like to think about it
from now on.

My future is like a blank page.

And I'd like to plan it here.

PROFESSOR CHA YUGON
KO EUNKANG

-ARI: Hey, wait.
-BUMJU: Wait.

BUMJU: What's that?

SEUNGHYUN: Let's just eat.

-Can't we start?
-We've only been here for a month,

but this place already feels like home,
doesn't it?

Right, I felt awkward at home
with nothing to do.

I thought you were busy

with the blind date.

Shut your mouth. Stop talking about it.
It's really annoying.

Come on.

Ever seen anyone who puts
their friend's picture on their profile?

That was unbelievable.

-DAEIL: Friend's picture as a profile...
-ARI: Eunkang!

Eunkang?

-ARI: Eunkang!
-DAEIL: It's so...

ARI: Come join us.

-BUMJU: Huh?
-ARI: Come on. Hurry.

ARI: Come have some food.

(Eunkang gasping)
What is all this?

ARI: It's a buffet.

This is the chicken skewer I bought.

Everyone living in Daechi-dong knows this.

And these are croquettes
and twisted doughnuts Bumju brought.

Apparently they're
the most famous bakery in Daejeon.

And this is spicy glass noodles
that Tak brought.

Let's eat!

DAEIL: Wait, is this the food
from the variety show?

-DAEIL: Are you sure?
-TAK: Just eat.

I... almost missed the train
because I had to stop by the market.

Is that so? Thanks, man.

You know what? Forget it.
Stop eating that. Give it.

BUMJU: Come on. Stop it.

ARI: Do you like it?

My gosh.

-Wait.
-What?

Where's Juyoung?

ARI: I wonder what she'll bring
from Jeolla Province.

Fermented skate. With pork and kimchi.

-ARI: No way.
-Beef pancakes.

SEUNGHYUN: Maybe she'll bring
some beef pancakes.

She asked us if we liked beef pancakes
before she left.

You must be right. I love beef pancakes.

GROUP: Mmm...

-Hi, guys!
-ARI: Ms. Woo!

-GROUP: Ms. Woo!
-DAEIL: Welcome back, Ms. Woo!

-ARI: Take that.
-JUYOUNG: Oh, boy.

Man, I can't feel my arms.
(clears throat)

ARI: What's this? What did you bring?

Well, I can't come back from my hometown
empty-handed.

-DAEIL: Gosh, you didn't need to though.
-ARI: What is it?

What is this?

Custard cream bread.

JUYOUNG: This is super popular
in my neighborhood these days.

It's not too sweet,
and it just melts in your mouth.

Come on. Try it. Take one.

Are you surprised? Try it.
You're going to be surprised even more.

Here's one for you, Ari. Try it.

Eat up.

Maybe we should try it later.

-BUMJU: Beef pancakes...
-You don't want to try it?

Let's eat.

-I'm full.
-ARI: Come on. Try one.

-If you don't want to, you don't have to.
-It's tasty.

-It's tasty.
-I told you it's good.

-It's super popular in my town.
-It's really good.

-JUYOUNG: It's good, right?
-BUMJU: Does it taste good?

ARI: Yes.

BUMJU: It's tasty.

(Ari laughs)

-JUYOUNG: I told you it's good.
-ARI: It's good.

JUYOUNG: See? I told you.

DAEIL: You should have some too.

JUYOUNG: I'll give the leftovers
to Daeil.

DAEIL: What?

ARI: Good for you.
(chuckles)

-BUMJU: Daeil, eat up.
-DAEIL: Thank you.

JUYOUNG: It just melts
in your mouth, right?

-ARI: It's gone.
-BUMJU: Seriously.

BUMJU: The custard cream is so good.

(clears throat)

Did you have dinner?

It's for you. I thought you wouldn't
come down to join us.

I'm good. I ate at the cafeteria earlier.

You can at least try it.

(door opens)

(door closes)

EUNKANG: I thought I wouldn't be able
to say it if I don't say it now.

Gosh.

(sentimental music)

As a matter of fact,

I came here because I like you.

-What?
-Isn't that funny?

Who goes to college
because of a crush? It's stupid.

(chuckles)

Then I learned that
you and Sunyu were going out.

It was so shocking.

I couldn't look at your face

and I didn't want to be here.

Because I didn't come here
to become a cop.

But it's okay now.

I like my colleagues
and school life here isn't that bad.

I'm getting scolded every day though.
(chuckles)

So don't worry about me.

Well, I guess
you've never worried about me though.

I'm just moving on from you.

I thought I had to tell you this.

That's all I wanted to say.
I'll get going now.

Eunkang.

(chuckles softly)

(birds chirping)

(closing theme music)
