GOING TO YOU AT A SPEED OF 493KM

THE PLACES, PEOPLE, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIONAL

THE FINAL EPISODE

Did you…

have to be my son's partner?

I can't even cheer for my own son because of you.

I'm sorry.

Just because Junyoung has forgiven you

doesn't make everything go away.

I can imagine how much you must hate me

and don't want to see me.

I understand.

I also used to…

hate myself a lot and struggle.

"I don't deserve to be happy."

I would think that to myself,

and yet

I kept wanting more.

And that

made me feel guilty.

I should've asked for your forgiveness in person earlier,

but I didn't, and I'm sorry about that too.

I know that you didn't get Junyoung hurt on purpose.

So,

whenever I have this sudden urge to get upset,

I tell myself to be an adult because you must be a beloved daughter to another.

Taeyang.

I've taken this much of a step back.

That means you shouldn't cross the line.

Please…

can you give me a chance?

You may not be able to forgive me,

and the best thing would be never having to see each other again.

But if I try harder

and become a better person

to make your forgiveness meaningful…

For that to happen,

can't you give me a chance just this once?

I don't think…

I can do that.

I'll be back after seeing my dad. You can go back to the dorm first.

You could rupture your tendon any second now.

No matches. I prohibit it.

You're okay to play one more game, right?

Hey, you're late.

Did you meet with your dad?

What did he say about us going to the finals?

He's very excited for us

and wished us luck tomorrow.

What are you doing outside?

I was waiting for you.

I figured seeing your face would cheer me up.

Right, Taeyang.

We're playing in the finals tomorrow.

How many times are you going to say that?

I just can't believe

that we made it together to the end.

I'm going to do well in the match and tell you how I feel.

About how I want to get back together.

About how I can't be without you.

And about how

I really love you.

Jeez. Are you running again after a match?

I've never skipped night training unless there was a storm.

I get anxious if I don't train and can't get to sleep.

I see. I've never skipped using a facial mask.

It's no wonder you're so pretty.

It's no wonder you're so talented.

Tomorrow is the finals.

Yes. I'll get you a gold necklace tomorrow.

A gold medal?

See you tomorrow at the stadium.

Looking great. Feeling great.

Yook Junghwan is great.

Are you feeling sick?

Hey.

Hey, Taejun. Wake up.

What?

You're breaking out in a cold sweat and groaning.

I am?

Why don't you go to the hospital if you're not feeling well?

I'm fine.

Gosh. Today is the last day!

But you're not playing today.

You're acting as if you're in the finals.

You also haven't played for some time.

Come on. We both only made it to the round of 16.

I was in the quarterfinals.

Good for you.

Are you playing two games today?

Men's doubles and mixed doubles?

Yes.

Gosh. You're putting in so much work to play in two finals.

The captain's got high hopes for you.

Let's win this!

There you are.

-You don't look so good. -I feel great.

Hey.

Let's talk for a second.

-About what? -Your knee.

Hey. Do you know that you were groaning all last night?

-The way you're walking-- -I guess we've gotten pretty close.

You're even worried about me.

I don't want to compete against someone who isn't well. It bothers me.

Be honest. It's really bad, isn't it?

I still have what it takes to compete against you, so get ready.

Hey, tell Mr. Sibong--

I'm fine. Do you want it to hurt?

Sorry. I know you're looking out for me.

2022 KOREA BADMINTON GRAND FINAL

Youngsim, if you win today, you'll be the quadruple gold medal winner.

You're so close to reaching the grand slam for singles.

-Go for it! -Go for it!

Thank you.

But where is Taeyang?

I can't share a patient's medical records with anyone else.

I think Taejun is hiding his symptoms.

Can you at least let me know if it's okay for him to play today?

Is he playing? Did he say that?

It's bad. Right?

The person you have reached is not available.

Where is Taeyang?

She's still not answering?

No.

Shouldn't you let the coach know?

Don't make a big deal out of it.

She must be taking her time to get mentally prepared.

There's no way she won't show up.

Seriously, what is she doing?

The mixed doubles finals will soon be taking place.

Park Taejun and Park Taeyang from Yunis.

Yook Junghwan from Yunis and Lee Yumin from Somang Bank.

Please come to Court One.

Go ahead. I'll go with Taeyang once she gets here.

-Let's go. -Okay.

I've never worried about my opponents like this before a match.

Where have you been? Why didn't you answer your phone?

-The game's about to start. Let's go. -Wait.

Let's talk.

We don't have time.

I think…

we should forfeit.

I just came from meeting with your doctor.

She said you shouldn't be playing.

She said she's warned you already. Why didn't you tell me?

Thank you for thinking of me, but I'm okay to play one match.

She said you could rupture your knee.

Then you'd have to get surgery.

Taeyang. I'll be careful.

I'll play and forfeit if I don't think I can do it anymore.

Are you stupid?

Withdrawing from a single tournament won't change your life.

Don't you know how we got here?

We worked so hard to be here.

It's okay even if we don't win. It's just…

I want to try till the end.

Please.

Let's not throw down our lives for a sport.

I forfeit.

I know how you feel,

and I'm so glad that you're full of passion now.

But still,

I forfeit.

They said they'll be here in a minute. Please wait.

-That's not possible. -Why do you keep saying that?

Taeyang's still not here?

-We can't delay this any longer. -What do you mean? They'll be here soon.

We can't proceed like this.

What do you mean? We just have to wait. Please.

If you really want to play, you can do it by yourself.

Let's just play this once.

-The game's about to start. -Yes. Good luck!

I have to protect your leg, like what you did for your friend.

If an athlete were to die, he should do so on the court.

"Please. Let's not throw down our lives for a sport."

Have you always lacked tenacity?

Hey. Mr. Professional Team Athlete.

You should take good care of yourself to get paid yearly and live unscathed.

Worry about securing a way to make a living.

Let go.

Just one game.

I said no. Let go of me.

-Coach! -What's wrong?

Taeyang…

What?

An injury?

I should be the one getting carried away in an ambulance, not you.

-Does it hurt a lot? -Yes.

So, we're forfeiting, right?

What are you talking about?

I saved your leg.

Isn't it a little weird to go around wearing it?

Besides, we won by default.

Still, it's a gold medal. I can't remember how long it's been since I won the gold.

I don't feel so good about it.

Didn't you say Taeyang just sprained her ankle?

Go see her at the hospital if you're so worried.

Taejun is the one with the issue.

Both of them are in the hospital now.

What? Why is Taejun in the hospital?

Something's wrong with his knee.

Gosh, I should've stopped him earlier.

Really? How bad is it?

Dang it.

It's not the right time to be happy about winning.

What?

You're so kindhearted.

But something seems to be missing from your neck.

If you have nothing to put on,

you could wear this.

What is this?

Hey.

You're giving this to me on the street?

It's so pretty. Thank you.

I really regretted not getting her a necklace back then.

I thought a gold medal was the best thing to wear around your neck.

Is this about Junyoung again?

It eventually boils down to your first love.

She's in every story of yours.

Take it back. I'm not wearing it.

But…

I mean, I'm trying not to repeat the same mistakes--

The fact that you're hung up on the past is a mistake.

I'm offended.

Hold on.

The necklace didn't do anything wrong. It even has a little diamond.

It's from a luxury brand.

It's all yours.

Yumin, I'm sorry.

-No! -Please don't do this.

Thankfully, his patellar tendon isn't completely torn.

It's only a partial tear.

Way to go.

What are you doing? He's injured.

Gosh, Doctor.

A tear?

How long will it take to heal?

Can he continue to play badminton?

It'll probably take about six months.

It could be four months if he can commit and follow through.

Goodness. What a relief.

Your silly decision has cost you four months, you stupid.

Go away. You're making it hurt even more.

Doctor. I'm not supposed to get stressed, right?

You deserve to get hit.

Your career could've been over if it weren't for Taeyang. You know that?

Taejun is lucky to have such a great partner.

Normally, the partner tells a player to hang in there since it's the finals.

But she came by to see me a few hours before the match

to ask if it was okay for Taejun to play.

I heard Taeyang sprained her ankle trying to stop you.

She saved you, okay?

Thank you.

Was she talking about the Taeyang we know?

Gosh.

That's tricky.

What's tricky? Anyone else would've done the same.

But she even got hospitalized because of me.

Gosh.

Mom.

Why did you come out with that leg?

Look.

I won silver.

I'm…

not a good enough son for you, am I?

Why would you think that?

I'm not good enough as a parent.

Do you want to keep it?

After all,

I tried my best.

2022 KOREA BADMINTON GRAND FINAL

Great work.

Seungwoo!

I have great news!

What is it? A gold medal?

You seem overly excited about it.

No, I won the silver medal.

I got destroyed by Sieun, that little brat.

Then what are you so excited about?

I'll be living with Hana from now on.

What's with the long face?

Are you getting back together with Hana's dad?

No.

He's going to Japan.

I'll look after her while he's away,

and we'll talk again once he gets back.

Really? That's great.

-Custody returns! -Returns!

That's awesome.

You should find a place first. A studio is too small for the two of you.

That's true.

Then, let's go see a realtor together first thing tomorrow.

Can you live outside the dorm and commute?

Of course. Our married seniors used to commute.

Oh, that's right.

Want to look at furniture this weekend?

We can paint Hana's room pink.

We also need to get curtains.

I've been saving up for this moment.

I also want to get something for you two.

What is it?

We're finally on break, but why am I so bored?

Is there anything fun to do?

YUNIS GROUP CHAT

I'm having fun.

Gosh, I can feel my body itching.

Sorry about that.

It's a gloomy break.

We want a break when we're playing, then get bored when we're on break.

Gosh, we're so sad.

Let's visit the Park twins at the hospital.

Taejun!

-Taejun! -Hey, Taejun.

You were with them.

What brings all of you here?

You should've called first.

Junyoung. Why are you here?

What is the great Park Junyoung doing here?

You can all come in.

Goodness. Let me get something to eat.

-Mom. -Mom.

Mom?

I'll go with you.

-Yes. -See you soon.

Park Junyoung is Park Taejun's older sister.

-What? -What?

You're Junyoung's brother?

Really, Taejun? You're from that bloodline?

What are you talking about?

I was just born

and she happened to be my sister.

Your DNA does seem to be special.

Can you move out of the way? I have to go somewhere.

Where are you going?

Hey, you look a little different.

Does Taeyang know about this too?

Can you all move aside? I'll come back.

I promise to come back.

I even took a half-day off to be here.

You should hurry back to work.

You'll be called names for doing this at your dad's company.

Just move out of the way.

-Gosh. -Oh, my.

But aren't Taeyang and Taejun going out?

It's questionable.

Taeyang and Junyoung are enemies.

Junyoung is Taejun's sister. What is all this?

Are you curious?

Yes.

Attention.

-First, close that door. -Close it.

All right.

As a person who knows all about their relationships and history,

I'll tell you everything. Listen up.

Hey, Taeyang.

-We have to run. -What? Why?

-You haven't seen our teammates yet? -No.

They did say they'd visit--

They saw me with Junyoung.

The secret I kept about my family has been revealed.

So what?

Hey, this is traumatic for me.

What if they ask questions--

I'm fine. They can all come to my room.

But I'm not ready.

I'm very nervous. I need you.

-Gosh. -Ouch.

Wait for me.

Pretend you didn't see them.

Mom.

Do you still hate Taeyang?

She and I have a bad history, but she's Taejun's savior.

It's not like you can play both sides. What are you going to do?

Stop it. You're complicating things.

You can stop taking my side.

You've been taking my side my whole life.

It's about time you took Taejun's side too.

"Park Taejun and Park Taeyang

advance to the finals by surprise."

"Park Taejun, Park Taeyang's performance draws attention, despite forfeiting."

"Park Taejun, Park Taeyang.

The rise of a new strong mixed doubles duo."

Are there that many articles about us?

What's with the act? You looked them up already.

Hey.

You're already drawing attention as Park Taejun.

The time has come to tell everyone that Park Junyoung is your sister.

I used her as an excuse to see you.

I don't care anymore if people find out about who I am.

I know that you're uncertain.

After finishing the last game,

I really wanted to tell you how I felt.

But I guess I was in a rush.

That's why

I'm going to try until I have a 100% chance of winning.

I'll try to wait until you can't say no to me.

Okay.

Don't worry.

I'm going to have a 100% win rate

no matter what.

ONE MONTH LATER

Six. Good.

Seven.

Eight. Make sure to keep your knees from going inward.

Nine. There you go.

All right, ten.

Coach!

-Why that little… -What is it?

Are you here to give him a present again?

He must really like Yumin.

He's so devoted to Coach Lee.

How about you go out with him instead?

-Sibong, you… -My goodness.

Hey, you punk. No matter how many gifts you bring…

Even if you bring me gifts,

I'm not giving you my daughter.

It's not a gift this time. I have big news.

I'm sure you're going to love this.

Coach Kwon Kichul is getting fired.

-The national team coach? -Yes.

The news will be made public tomorrow.

He was driving drunk when he hit a car in a parking lot and ran off.

He was always known for being the worst drunk.

Gosh, why does he live like that?

Now is finally your chance.

Let's go back to the center together.

You're already a strong candidate--

Hey. Do you think I'm the only one who is considered a strong candidate?

Dang it.

Cut the crap and leave, Mr. Yook.

I'm not doing it even if they ask. I mean it.

Stop telling the athletes to dream big and be ambitious--

Hey, have you forgotten how old I am? You punk.

Is there an age limit to having dreams?

Gosh, he's being so annoying.

I'm going to the bathroom.

But Coach!

Are you going to follow me to the bathroom? Go away!

Father!

PARK TAEJUN

Why is he calling me again?

Dang it.

Just get up.

I want to go out with Taeyang.

Don't you have a knee injury?

I said, get up.

I can handle this much.

Your insisting won't get you anywhere.

I disapprove.

I'll do my very best!

My Taeyang will

have to say the same thing to your family. That she'll do her best.

Because she has a terrible dad like me,

she's had to say that her entire life.

With your family, she would have to work hard just to be loved.

What I want

is for Taeyang to be loved

even when she's just sitting there.

That's how I want her to be treated.

Even when she's just sitting,

she's lovable.

She's lovable even when she cries

or gets angry.

No matter what she does, she's lovable.

I know that Taeyang

has lived through a painful past, but she's still lovable.

And she'll continue to be lovable.

It would be great

if at least you could give us your blessing.

Do you want to go for a drink?

That Yook Junghwan…

I just hate him.

I hate when my daughter holds his hand

or smiles at him.

She puts on a bright smile even when he calls her.

Hey, at least she's smiling. That's better.

Taeyang came home drunk sometime last week.

She went on and on about Taejun and cried her heart out.

Gosh. How can you stand the sight of that?

I wanted to poke my eyes out.

But at least Taejun is decent.

Isn't Junghwan a troublemaker?

That's what I mean. I--

Gosh. With being violent and all.

He's completely worthless.

The rumors are a bit exaggerated.

He's actually polite--

What I meant was, he's pretty okay…

Hey, he is just so nice to me.

You have no idea.

-Really? -Yes.

Right, I see.

Taejun, that punk. He keeps on calling me.

"Have you eaten?" "Have you been to the hospital?"

He's just so annoying.

Junghwan…

Hey. Junghwan keeps getting me presents.

He gives me so many presents.

Gosh. He's well-off, you know.

Good for you.

Not at all. I hate him.

Taejun would die at my command.

-Die? -Yes.

You know what? Junghwan.

He'll show up within an hour if I call him, no matter what.

Really?

What, is he in Busan? Why does he take an hour?

-From Busan… -Taejun, that punk.

He will come within 30 minutes when I'm in the city.

He's just so annoying.

-Call him. -What?

-Call him! -Dang it.

Gosh.

-What are you doing here? -Aren't you rehabbing your knee?

-I'm busy. -Me too.

TAVERN HOUSE

Hey, why are we doing this?

Father! He said, "Why are we doing this?" He doesn't want to play.

He doesn't want to play.

Get lost if you don't want to play.

-I don't want to not play! -All right. There you go!

So, are you two ready?

-Now, let's-- -Start!

I wasn't ready, you punk.

-Gosh. -Come on.

-Oh, no. -That's it!

-He's on our national team. -It's going down!

All right, my dear Taejun.

"My dear Taejun"? My dear Taejun!

Dad!

Why is she calling me Dad? Oh, your daughter is here.

Hi, Taeyang.

What is she doing here?

I didn't lose, all right?

Goodness.

Your coach started it.

How dare he compare you to Yook Junghwan?

And, if you hadn't shown up to end it,

Taejun would have won.

Father, how about you call me "My dear Taejun"?

Gosh.

I'm going to take a taxi back home and sleep.

You guys can go eat or something.

Dad!

Have you eaten?

I'm okay. You can go back home with Father.

Oh, but it's been a while.

All right. It was nice seeing you.

Get back home safely. You're coming back to the team, right?

Yes.

-Did you call a taxi? -Yes, sir.

Father, please get in. Here.

Okay.

I…

now have an 80% win rate.

"My dear Taejun."

I hate to say this,

but you should get going.

Okay.

Do you miss him that much?

Gosh. That's why people say it's no use raising a child.

But I want to be your daughter in my next life.

Gosh, dang it.

So, have you been using it a lot?

Sir. It's very difficult to use my ankles.

Is that so? That's why it's a part of training.

It's playing if it's easy.

I don't think I need to rehab anymore.

I know your body better than you do.

Gosh. This sucks.

Everything…

will be okay.

PARK TAEJUN

The days when we can be as happy as we want

will come again.

It'll be just like getting a nice, surprising phone call.

TAEJUN'S MOTHER

Yes?

When you have time,

come over to our house for a meal.

Okay.

I'll hang up now.

Wait…

Tomorrow's Sunday. Can I come tomorrow?

Tomorrow's a bit too…

All right.

You can.

Okay.

-I'm really hanging up now. -Okay.

It's about time you guys bloomed.

Okay, let's start.

All right. Breathe out.

We're almost there.

I see that you have quite an angle now.

-Yes. -Okay.

All right. We'll continue after a short break.

Okay.

TAEYANG

-Hi, Taeyang. -What are you doing tomorrow?

Tomorrow? I'm not sure.

Let's have dinner at your house tomorrow. At your house in Chuncheon.

What?

Taejun, now is the time for you to have that 100% win rate.

Come at lightning speed.

Taeyang.

Let's start over.

Right off the bat?

Do you know how much I had to hold myself back from saying this?

Don't forget even for a second

that you are loved.

Because I'll love you without stopping for a single second.

ONE YEAR LATER

Are you aware that our dorm curfew is 10 p.m.?

-Yes. -You can't come in once the doors close,

and you'll lose points if you stay out overnight.

That means you'll get a pay cut.

Got it.

No drinking or smoking in the dorm.

Most of all, no dating teammates

used to be the rule,

but nothing could stop love.

So everyone knows but turns a blind eye to it.

So you can date within the team.

-You heard that? -I know, right?

-It didn't come? -No.

What didn't?

What are you looking at?

Why you… You've got a good eye.

We're getting married in five years.

I see. Congratulations.

-All right. Don't mess with her. - I won't.

Go train.

Thank you for helping me out.

I promised myself not to become a senior who takes advantage of his juniors.

I'm not going to be like our captain.

Oh, there are three crazies on our team.

First is the captain, Kko Dongwan.

Leave your card behind if you go to eat with him.

He uses his junior's cards as if they're his.

He might say things like "I'll pay today."

Don't believe him. Never.

I'm sorry. The other two crazies are

the two coaches.

They're like the crazy pair.

Hey, Coach Lee. Why are the kids like this when a tournament is coming up?

Because their training is too tough.

That's what you asked for.

Are you two fighting again?

Starting to feel fatigued?

What's important is to believe that you can do this with ease.

-Get it together and run. Got it? -Yes, ma'am!

I can't hear you. Got it?

-Yes, ma'am! -Yes, ma'am!

It was better in the old days.

Anyway, I hope you hang in there.

It's an honor for my family that I'm playing for Yunis.

I get to play with Park Taejun and Park Taeyang.

JINCHEON NATIONAL TRAINING CENTER

Run faster. Come on!

Hey, Park twins.

-Coach! -Hey!

-Coach. Happy birthday! -Happy birthday.

Ta-da!

Gosh, you didn't have to… make me so happy.

It's nothing much. Just your birthday gift.

You didn't have to take a day off to come see me on my birthday.

We can skip Buddha's birthday and Christmas,

but we're not skipping your birthday.

Jeez. You really do look like a national team coach.

Stop playing with me.

When are you guys going to come here?

Are you trying out for the national team this time?

-Yes. -Yes.

Because I want to train under you.

I want to train beside her.

But I'm not the same Lee Taesang anymore.

You both better brace yourselves.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

It's always nice to cross paths again.

We had a good time back then.

Hey, can you wait around for an hour?

I'll finish up and come back.

Sure. Take your time.

-Okay. Let's grab a bite. -Okay.

I'll be back.

Wait up.

Gosh, he's still the same.

I know.

What about Junghwan? Did you hear from him?

Is he still not in Korea?

I think he's still on the plane. I can't reach him.

It would've been nice to see him too.

Right.

Didn't you say Junghwan's coming back today?

I don't know. Maybe he's just decided to stay permanently in Switzerland.

Apparently, Switzerland is in love with Yook Junghwan.

I read that in an article.

But only a team from Korea was invited for the charity match.

Isn't that amazing?

He said he can focus better on his game because he can rely on his girlfriend.

I read that in an article.

Am I dating a virtual human?

I find out everything about him from the news, even what's on his mind.

It's so hard to reach him by phone.

I search his name online daily to read up on him because it's faster that way.

I barely get to see his face once a month.

I regret sending him back to the national team.

I think he just popped out from the news.

What?

Hey!

Don't run. You could get hurt.

Have you been well?

What took you so long to come back?

I'm sorry.

Switzerland fell so in love with me that it delayed the plane.

It was clinging on. I barely managed to get away.

Did you come straight from the airport?

Yes, I came straight here because I really missed you.

2023 KOREA BADMINTON GRAND FINAL

Junyoung.

Seungwoo. Are you here to watch the game?

Yes.

What do you have there?

It's a survey. It's part of my graduate school work.

But it feels awkward to ask the athletes to take it.

Ask Taejun to give them out.

Are you stupid?

Yes.

I've become totally stupid from trying to use my brain these days.

Thank you! See you later inside.

See you.

Hurry up.

-Hey, Park twins. -Hi, Junyoung.

This survey is for the athletes to take. You two can distribute it.

I'm sorry, Junyoung. We have to go play now.

You should do your own work.

Hurry up.

Sorry, Junyoung!

Why those little…

-Hello. -Hello.

Junyoung, can we help you?

I'd appreciate it.

It's our honor. Do you need all these surveys done?

Thank you.

What you need to do is…

When it's not going well, try hitting the shuttlecock up diagonally.

I'll handle it all from the back.

You know I'm always behind you, right?

We're not going down that easily this time.

This kind of chance is hard to come by.

Let's go.

Go, Park twins!

-Go for it! -Let's go!

You can do this, Park twins!

-Gosh. It's a pleasure, Mr. Yeon. -Have you been well?

Jeez, you look good.

Yunis, we're watching you!

Go for it!

Yumin! Good luck to you too!

Let's go!

What?

Rooting for the Park twins?

-We're loyal friends. -Agreed.

Sanghyun, I have a girlfriend now.

What?

It's your birthday soon.

-It's passed. -Really?

We will serve.

Then we'll play on that side of the court.

All right. Change ends.

-Go for it! -You can do it!

-Go for it! -You got this!

Loser buys dinner.

This match should've happened a year ago.

Let's add drinks on top of that.

And taxi fare.

-You'll have nothing left in your wallet. -I didn't bring mine.

Thanks for the food.

Let's go.

On my right,

Park Taejun and Park Taeyang from Yunis.

On my left,

Yook Junghwan from Yunis and Lee Yumin from Somang Bank.

We thought everything was over, but we got another chance.

Can we seize the opportunity this time?

We'll only know if we try.

But one thing is for sure.

Yook Junghwan to do the service.

Love all.

Play.

That now is the time to have fun playing badminton.
