Do Jeong Woo threatened you, right?

I'm not ever going to leave you alone in this school.

How can I leave you alone here in this situation?

I'm telling you that I am going to forget everything now and concentrate on studying.

You are a mother who should be helping me. Why are you doing this?

Don't you know that I will be in more danger the more you do this?

This is the end. Don't come to school from now on.

Angry Mom

Our teacher Do Jeong Woo will take

the position as head director of Myeong Seong Foundation instead of me.

Chairman, for what pleasure will we have teaching the kids without you?

For what use will we raise the whip of love...

Anyway... the thing I want to emphasize once again, before I leave this position is that

Myeong Seong High School's power comes from the grades.

High college admission rate incomparable to any other schools,

and the academic achievement assessment placement etc. Those are the very heart of our Myeong Seong High and...

I'm sorry, but I don't think grades are everything.

This is a school, not an academy.

That goober. Who selected that one?

School Motto: Big Dreams Small Deeds

Hero is fond of pleasure...

Even still, wasn't [she] a little too young?

Don't people make mistakes once in a while?

Mistake?

Right, I guess people can learn a lesson from their mistakes.

I will learn a lot and try to fill your vacancy.

I will make sure that you won't come back again, Chairman Hong.

If he is to learn a true lesson,

it will take him a long time.

Ae Yeon.

Yes, Chairman.

Choose your lifeline carefully.

If you select a frayed rope, your head will crack open from falling together.

When the construction is over, get rid of him along with the money laundering.

Would that really be okay?

He is the one who asked for it.

Bury him tightly with the laundry so that he will not see the light for about 5 years.

The complaint and the evidence all disappeared.

From the Ministry of Education as well as from the press.

There wasn't any record of us visiting in the Ministry of Education.

The CCTV was all fabricated.

This must not be something ordinary.

Do Jeong Woo is not the only problem,

there seems to be a bigger organization behind him.

I started this all for Ah Ran,

but it seems like it just put Ah Ran more in danger.

Why is that because of you? It is because of those rotten bastards.

Only if I had a little bit more power...

Gong Joo,

as a so-called mother,

how can I only amount to this?

I'm a mother...

I'm a mother, but why is there nothing I can do?

It's not only you who feels like that.

Every mom in the world feels like that.

It's unfair!

Don't cry Kang Ja.

I believe that you will make a wise choice.

As well as your parents.

If you continue falling into these things and not get hold of yourself,

I will have to meet your mother.

You know what I mean.

Jong Man, Sang Man! Get the car ready!

Yes. Yes.

How dare they make my daughter cry.

I ought to pay a visit and just smack the crap out of their heads!

That won't solve anything. Ah Ran will just be in more danger.

It'll work if I just sneak in quietly and smack the crap out of them.

I didn't start this to merely smack someone's head.

So that they can't do this kind of thing again, you have to cut their throats.

But didn't you say that they are powerful enough to have the Ministry of Education and the press to do their bidding?

You're right. This can't be won with strength.

Gong Joo, now let's use our heads.

Our heads?

Hey, you and I, using our brains is a no.

I will study next to Ah Ran.

Please collect all related information regarding Myeong Seong Foundation.

The real power behind Do Jeong Woo is Myeong Seong Foundation.

It probably has a weakness somewhere.

- Welcome. - Choong (homonyms: allegiance and parasites) - Parasite Terminators.

Die! Myeong Seong Foundation's owner is Hong Sang Bok.

There must be a reason why he has Do Jeong Woo's back.

I request you do well.

Allegiance (or parasites)!

A person needs to look for the pressure point in order to deal with a beast.

There must exist a pressure point that can be fatally wounded with one strike.

We have to lay low and wait for the right time.

There will come a time when the dark connection of Do Jeong Woo and the Chairman Hong will be revealed.

The brain is the Chairman Hong.

I'll take out the head first, then I'll catch you, Do Jeong Woo.

I wished my child to grow up to be a warm-hearted person rather than an academically superior one,

so, though it's embarrassing to admit, I told the child I loved him, often.

Hello, Mother-in-law.

Did you submit the withdrawal application to school?

Ah... that withdrawal application is...

Apparently they can't process it as this is during exams. So when the exams are over...

Do you think I am stupid just because I only graduated from elementary school?

Where in the world will you see a school that won't process the withdrawal application because it's exam time?

Ah, that... Mother, please overlook it for just one month.

I will organize it soon,

Hey! Organize this house properly! What is this?

This can't do. Let's go. To your school.

If you can't submit the withdrawal application, I'll hand it in.

Mother! Right now the school is closed.

Please save me once Mother-in-Law.

Hey! Save me instead!

Save what?

Hey, good timing coming here. At school, this...

Mother wants to eat some Pacific saury (type of fish), so I think I should go to the market and buy a naturally produced one.

Hey! When did I say...

I should go before the market closes, right?

Mother, do you know about the sashimi house across the street? That sashimi house is soooo very good.

Honey, honey! Buy some Spanish mackerel when you come back.

Spanish mackerel? Okay!

Here you go.

So you're trying to shut my mouth by serving me a plate of sashimi?

Not at all, Mother-in-law.

Mother, remember you used to say "Southeast Asia, Southeast Asia"?

I'll send you on a filial tour (sending parents on a trip) with Soon's grandma. Go ahead and take a trip once.

Aigoo, you're trying to send me there forever?

Tell her I'm good. I fought with that grandma.

You can make another friend again, Mother-in-law!

Should I set you up on a blind date?

I'm all wrinkly and old, who am I supposed to meet?

Mother-in-law! Mother, you are very beautiful.

Mother-in-law, now that I look at it, here.

All you have to do is to stretch there just a little bit. I'll do that for you.

This isn't important.

It's just that I'm worried about you.

If you get caught,

our household is shamed, and how can Ah Ran go to school with her head held high?

I'll be careful.

Can you just keep my secret for a month?

One week.

Mother...

Since you don't go to school on weekends, five days.

Call?

Deal.

I still need a lot.

How can I find out information about a person who doesn't exist?

Why is there a school uniform here?

Jo Bang Wool? Why is the school uniform here?

- Getting a discount at the market is the best, right? - Yes, of course.

Oh? Honey.

- What is that? - I didn't open it.

It was open. I was about to close it.

But why are you looking at somebody else's bag?

Hey! Don't open other peoples' bag like a narrow minded fool.

I wasn't digging around!

But who is Jo Bang Wool?

I wasn't intentionally looking for it, but I saw a school uniform in your bag.

Oh. Someone I know's daughter is Jo Bang Wool.

Because she's moving school, I just brought the school uniform so that Ah Ran can wear it later.

You did a good job.

Move. Why are you sitting here and blocking the whole way?

You can go in, Honey.

Go in.

I told you to move over!

Because of you, I almost got caught!

Ah Ran...

Genovese Syndrome

Do you even know what happened to that homeroom teacher?

Father. Do you possibly know anyone at my school?

Yeah. I know one.

Who is it?

Teacher Park No Ah, whom I'm proud of.

Excluding me.

A teacher I know said something weird.

Have you ever asked for a favor from the school?

I don't know anybody there. So how could I do that?

That's right! My father won't do that.

He's a weird teacher.

Oh, I know somebody who works in court.

My father, whom I'm proud of.

What is he doing?

Looks like he's trying out his tool, Boss.

He doesn't seem normal.

He's not. Keep watching him, and call me if he does something suspicious.

Don't worry. You have to watch him 24/7.

Yes, Noonim.

Go, my daughter. You're going to be late for school at this rate.

- Take care. - Have a good day in school, Hyungnim!

Study hard.

- Mom! - Don't look at your vocab notebook. You will get hurt if you trip.

Mom, really! Why don't you listen to me!

You should listen to me.

- Mom! - You said that you will forget everything and just study.

I agree. I will make sure that you can only study.

Safely.

Unni, Unni, Unni!

Unni, your life must have been hard so far, huh?

We didn't even know that.

So who is your real mother?

We will help you so that other kids don't bully you.

Hey guys, I hear that Jo Bang Wool is adopted.

I heard she has two mothers, but one is mentally ill,

and the other one is a total grandma.

Wow, is that why she is so old and crazy?

Yeah.

You ugly things!

Hey! Bang Wool Unni was adopted while eating her booger sitting on the ground out of hunger because she was abandoned!

Did you contribute to anything?

Lower your eyes!

Bang Wool is a daughter Myeong Seong gave birth to with its heart!

Ah Ran!

Why is she trippin?

That's what I'm saying!

My eyes hurt.

No!

- What are we rearranging? - We are switching seats.

You and me?

With her?

Preparing for college is a battle.

Do you want to get rejected from colleges and ruin your life

by trying to keep sticking around with petty pride alone?

Vice Principal. How can you do this without consulting me first, the homeroom teacher?

The school is the one who decides.

Okay, starting from now on, we will re-assign seats according to your grades. Everyone, get up.

Where does President Hong, who is first in school, want to sit?

Oh Ah Ran. Where do you want to sit?

Third, Hwang Min Joo. Here.

Fourth, Hwang Song Gi, right next to her.

Fifth, Song Jeong Eun. Here.

Sixth, Kim Yi Seul, over there.

Go In Woo, over there.

Last place, Jo Bang Wool. Go to that corner.

Lastly, Go Bok Dong, a knucklehead who is worse than last place.

Go next to Jo Bang Wool. Hurry up, punk!

I hope that students who are at a similar level will help each other and compete

and score their best grades. Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Yes.

Vice Principal. I have bad eyesight,

so if I sit in the back, I can't see the board.

Can I sit a little closer to the front?

Yeah.

If you want to come to the front in the future, get a better grade.

Vice Prinicpal!

Re-arranging seats according to grade is a violation of students' rights!

We are doing it because other schools don't do it.

How can we get ahead if we do things the same way as others?

Do you not think about how hurt the children will feel?

If they go out to the world, things will be worse that this and not better.

Don't you hear Geun Soo say that he has bad eyesight so he can't see the board?

- Seriously! - That surpirsed me.

You can pay for his LASIK eye surgery!

Why did we pick him?

Anyway, please pay particular attention to the performance assessments,

and submit the problems for the test in advance, please.

Now, these are... well, "Concepts & Foundations"

look at them lightly as reference.

The problems are very good.

I got it. Give them to me.

The challenging road of performance assesment is starting this year as well.

Following (this guide to make the test) is actually better, as guessing is just too difficult!

- He will make a bigger fuss if you guess at it. Just cut and paste the questions. - Should I?

Teacher Park, Korean Langauge.

I'm good. I've made my own test questions...

He's being like that again.

It's time for him to put in the money.

Oh!

10 million Won (Aprx. $10,000) deposited to account

I think this paperwork is enough for the Ministry of Education.

You worked hard, Managing Director Oh.

It's nothing.

I just did what our President told us to do.

What are you saying? It's all your work.

Our Managing Director Oh is doing well as the manager of the whole construction.

I'm the general manager...?

Of course! There isn't anybody else who is more suitable than you.

Thank you. I will work hard.

How is your daughter these days?

My daughter is very smart

so she's doing well in school on her own.

If smart kids drift off during their adolescence, they can end up in the road of no return at times.

You have to take care of her well so that she doesn't do anything else.

Oh, yes. I got it. You must have many other things to worry about.

You always worry about my daughter.

Thank you.

That's my job.

But still, it's not easy.

You all know that this exam is the prelude to our senior year, right?

If we don't seize the chance from the get-go, it'll become harder as time elapses.

Kids who don't want to study can just stay crumpled up and not ruin anything. Only up to 5 members in that group.

Kids who want to study should sign up for study class via PM (Kakao talk private message).

Is he a teacher or what?

Hey! Wang Jeong Hee! What are you thinking about again?

I might not be able to hang around with you guys.

You always get depressed at the exam time.

When depressed, take some medicine.

Such a filthy world.

It must be hard for you to catch up since you missed class. If you need to study then request to join the study period.

Take these.

Let me in on it too, President. I will do anything you ask.

Hey, Mackerel.

Yes, President.

Take this. It smells.

Yeah.

Hey Hong Sang Tae! Must you say it that way?

You also stink of side dishes. Are you working part-time at a slaughter house or something?

Right. I did. What are you going to do about it?

Shall I roast a slab for ya?

Ah Ran.

I'm Ah Ran's father.

My daughter, were you studying hard?

No, Dad... what brings you here?

What do you mean? I'm the general manager of the annex construction.

I came for work, and decided to come see my daughter.

What's with her?

Dad. So embarrassing... without even saying anything... Let's hurry and get out.

What's so embarrassing about a dad going to see his daughter?

Are you embarrassed about your father?

Jo Bang Wool, what are you doing?

Your shoelaces were untied.

You would fall when you walk at this rate.

Hey, isn't that Chairman kind of unique?

He doesn't even speak a word to his son but how can he speak so pleasantly with a snak... Egad!

Hey, you punk! You startled me!

You aren't keeping watch but playing around.

We did watch.

That jerk does useless stuff all day long.

Do we really need to keep watch?

There's a call.

Hello.

You're Jo Bang Wool's mother, right?

Yes. Yes. But who is this?

Of course I'm interested.

Yes, I understand.

Is this the mother's meeting that I've only heard of?

What should I prepare?

You must feel good.

Nice to meet you all. I'm Bang Wool's mother.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for being late. Customers kept on coming.

Oh my.

I changed clothes but I guess it still smells like fish.

No, well... please have a seat.

Then, Bang Wool's mother, what do you do?

I don't have such thing. Isn't life die hard confirmed bachelorette-hood? (Her speech is considered vulgar)

Then what was Bang Wool's grade in the school she was in before?

Her grade is 2+A!

Welcome, Vice Principal.

Welcome, Vice Principal. You get younger every time we see you.

Is that so?

Isn't this all because I always see such beauties all the time?

Aigoo, there's a person I'm seeing for the first time.

Here too.

No... Jo Bang Wool's mother what brings you here?

I'm also a mother too.

Can you digest properly these days?

Digest... well yes.

Sit down. Sit down.

This... it's not much but it's the detox juice that's a trend these days.

I made a lot of extras.

Goodness, our Jeong Yi's mom is not only a dean of a college, but is domestic as well.

An younger acquaintance of mine gave me a dinner voucher for having opened a restaurant,

But I can't find time to go.

You're a department store CEO after all. You're pretty busy, Min Ji's mom.

I heard your wife likes carrot cake.

Aigoo... A world renowned chef to have personally made a cake like this...

I... I didn't know it was like this...

It's a letter.

It's a letter of gratitude.

Don't worry too much about the exam.

If they study hard focusing on the "Concepts & Foundation"

They will be able to get the first rate grade, don't you think?

From that, concepts and basics take up 80 to 90 percent.

They are the most important.

Excuse me, Vice Principal.

If you say that concepts and basics are important,

Concepts and basis!

Aren't they the basic? Do you not know what that is?

Looking at how he empahsized basics,

He is saying that it has a lot to do with the textbooks.

Bang Wool, you don't even know as much as me.

They are all lying when they say that it's related to the textbooks.

Well, I've never even seen textbooks before.

It's this.

Basic. Isn't it?

Then one for Geun Soo and one for Bang Wool.

One for Geun Soo and one for Bang Wool.

One more for Geun Soo, one more for Bang Wool.

Oh the smell of fish.

It's filthy tiring to do a mother's job.

With my temper, I would have killed them.

What can we do? It's a sin for our child as well.

But then, Bang Wool's mother, would it really be all right if you don't give anything?

I don't have any money to give that teacher.

You look like you're well off.

I spent all the money that I was saving to get implants for my mother-in-law.

He doesn't have good eyesight.

But because he can't study, because he was pushed to the back,

he cried when he got home.

I was so sad. I wrote five letters to the Principal.

Then was that really a letter?

I took the letter and placed money.

Geun Soo's mother. synced by riri13

What can I do?

At least with this, I wanted to help with my child's future.

Start!

Hey!

No, I'm sweating. I can't do it Teach because I get sweat on my face.

Us three got A plus!

Hang on. You can't go down, okay?

Seriously, that girl is so weak.

Let go.

And I took the one letter of reply, and it has made all the difference.

Good job.

Next. Who's next?

Oh! Jo Bells. (Bang Wool = bell)

Step by step.

Oh baby.

Gonna get to you girl.

Really want you in my world.

Step one.

Step by step.

Step two.

Oh baby!

Step three.

Gonna get to you girl.

Come on, Hong Sang Tae.

Should we just say that your throat's condition isn't that good.

Now. It will be hard when studying English.

You did well.

This kind of opera style as if you recite the poem, you've introduced a new style to us, very refreshing!

It's a perfect rendition.

Ridiculous! Whoever hears it would know it's bad.

It's because you always listen to modern music that's why your ears are rotten.

Opera should be sang like this.

Half sound half air. As if you're speaking, with head voice.

Mi-re-mi-re-mi-si-mi-do-la~!

Good.

Sang Tae, my score? (a parody of audition programs)

Min Joo's Mom sent a gift of a premium tote bag, a new arrival.

Min Joo's mother. This...

Min Joo. Hwang Min Joo.

She's the one with the rotten ears. Honestly, weren't we a whole lot better?

Hey, the performance assessment is originally like the grades that the parents get.

There's no use if you'r a hundred times better.

Hey! Won't the grades be better if you did better?

It's a relative evaluation.

When those punks with strong backing from their parents go up then the other kids are just losers.

But your parents are both deans of a university.

Hey, they should've been on the freaking super top if they wanted to do any.

If they are just a bit well-off awkwardly, their children will become losers anyway.

Seriously, you don't even know anything. Seriously annoying.

Let's go together!

Seriously!

Ah, I'm dying to poop.

I've gotta go!

Look at her, she's going to make a stormy poop.

Her typical "exam" anxiety.

Oh! Your nose is bleeding?

- Have your head like this. - It stopped.

Seriously.

This won't do. You are overdoing it.

Let's go home early for today and take a rest.

The test is tomorrow so how could I rest?

A test or whatever.

What test when your body is in this state?

Let's go and rest.

You're different from other moms.

If it was like other moms, they won't say that.

No...

Don't be greedy and get one or two wrong per each subject.

Hong Sang Tae. Let me in too.

Let me in your study group too.

Hey, Wang Jeong Hee. Since when were you interested in study groups?

I really need to do well in this test.

If not, I will be chased out to the U.S.

I really hate studying abroad more than dying.

If I give it to you, then you would just give it to your underlings.

No. I will never.

Only I will see it. And I will give you my ID for LOL (League of Legends, an online game). My level is Diamond 1.

Then, can you stop being Jo Bang Wool's underling too?

Huh?

If you're brave enough to go against Jo Bang Wool, then I will think about it.

You can't do it, huh?

Then go.

I will do it.

Really?

Then try it now.

What are you doing here?

A kid who's sick, why are you here...

What is it? Give it to me.

Don't touch my body, Jo Bang Wool.

Hey! Hwang Min Joo, if you react like that, it makes you even more suspicious. What are you hiding? Give it here.

Don't.

It has nothing to do with you.

Do you have your weakness caught by them?

Did they call you out and threaten you?

Never mind. Mind your own business.

It won't help if the likes of you would know.

2015 The First Examination for 11th Grade - English

Hey! Hong Sang Tae! Is this the study guide that you were talking about?

You were luring the kids for this kind of thing?

You found out.

You all really won't do.

Give it to me.

Who are you for me to give it to you cause you said so?

Give it to me!

Unni!

Hey! Wang Jeong Hee, you get that. If we get caught we're dead.

2015 The First Examination - Writing an essay ; About Genovese syndrome

Jo Bang Wool! During the exam period, students can't come in the teacher's office-

Bang Wool, what's wrong? Where did you get hurt from?

The test has been leaked.

2015 The First...

Who were there?

That... I can't tell you that.

I don't know from where it went wrong.

It feels as if I'm sitting inside a kaleidoscope.

The thing we played when we were little kids?

This mirror reflects that mirror, and that mirror reflects the other one again.

The same pattern just keeps on repeating.

The parents, teachers, students...

Everyone is taking after each other while reflecting each other.

As we are dizzy as we can't tell which one is whom...

Honestly, what's in there

It was only just a small piece of colored paper.

Well anyway, I don't know about those difficult words.

At least I'm sure that there is a monster at school.

Monster?

Tomorrow is the test, but what do I do?

First of all, tomorrow, with the original copy of the test

needs to be compared to this, right?

It's the midterm examination sheet for sure. I saw it.

I know.

After the administration meeting, the test will be postponed.

The investigation committee will be organized too.

Even if you want to cover it up, Bang Wool,

all the kids who were involved will be revealed,

and punishment will be unavoidable.

Ah Ran, come here.

Why?

Your mother is telling you to come here. Why are you talking back? Quickly come here.

Ah, really.

Go to sleep. You need to sleep.

I said I'm okay, really!

Is sleeping the problem? Tomorrow is the test.

Don't worry about that.

This is high quality information, but

I'm telling this specially to you because you're my daughter.

You won't be taking the exam tomorrow. You can get a good night's sleep.

I'm not in the mood to joke around right now.

Did you only live being deceived?

The test paper was leaked.

The test paper was leaked for real?

That's not something that happens usually.

I know right?

That's why you just need to have a good sleep.

Tomorrow there won't be a test.

Hong Sang Tae did it right?

Everyone knows that he gets first place because of his Father's support.

Since there is no evidence, no one can say anything.

Serves you right, Hong Sang Tae.

But mom why is your face like that?

Ah..

Did you fight with someone again?

Fight? Why would your mom?

Anyway, you need to have a good sleep tonight. Quickly go to sleep.

No, no. This is the chance for me to become #1.

Mom, you sleep first. I'll study.

Sheesh, you're such an over achieving girl.

If you need anything, tell me.

The most respected politician whom the citizens have chosen

as first place, Kang Soo Chan, Minister of Education.

To him who put forward the reformation of education as his key policy, the citizens are responding fervently.

This situation is being interpreted as the example of the people's deep doubt about the credibility of the current educational environment.

Who is that person?

Ha, you're a mother of a student, but how could you not know the Minister of Education?

Wow, maybe it's because he's the Minister, but he speaks really well.

That man is on a different level than the politicians who talk continuously.

He used to be an educator who was totally respected at his school,

and he was never once involved in things like corruption or scandal.

That's not an easy thing for a politician in politics.

If you just look, he has the face of a man of virtue.

How could he have aged so cleanly?

A country where students can safely

attend school

means a brighter future.

So that many kids can go to school with piece of mind,

we will do our best.

Okay, pass the paper back.

What..?

The test will be cancelled.

Oh Ah Ran! Look forward and solve the problems.

Teacher, wasn't the test being postponed?

The students who don't study ask those kinds of questions!

Shut your mouth and solve the problems.

Hey Jo Bang Wool! Where are you going during testing?

If you leave now, then you're getting a zero on your test!

Quickly solve the problems.

Look at this.

The original copy of the test and this copy has the same questions. How is this not the case of leaking?

This... is a question that was given on last year's midterm examination.

Jo Bang Wool might have seen the sample questions from previous tests and

she probably misunderstood.

Anyway, in an incident where a test is leaked, even if there's a suspicious situation, postponing the exam is the rule.

An investigation needs to be opened.

Hey, this person really.

Just as you like to say,

haven't you thought about the emotional wounds to the "innocent kids under suspicion"?

Why is there no crime commited?

Here is the evidence, and I am the witness.

If you investigate the kids who were at the scene, it will all be revealed.

This doesn't count as evidence,

and you do not have the right to be a witness.

Why?

Because I don't do well in school do you ignore my words?

Don't you know that during a testing period, you are not allowed to come into the teacher's office?

If there is suspicion of an exam being leaked,

Jo Bang Wool, you're the biggest prime suspect right now!

I was the one in the staff room.

Bang Wool isn't the one (culprit).

If the two of you, teacher and student, planned everything,

How would I know?

Then call in all the kids who were at the scene.

Hong Sang Tae, Hwang Min Joo, Han Song Hee.

Jeong Woo Ran, Kim Chan Soo, and

Wang Jeong Hee.

It was a sample question from last year.

Even though I stood in that spot and explained,

She didn't even know what a sample question is.

That's right. Jo Bang Wool pushed me,

She used violence.

I saw it too.

Me too. Me too.

Jeong Hee,

like you said, a dirty world is like this moment.

Lying, and blaming others for your own wrong doing.

And, not even knowing how to be ashamed of yourself after doing that.

That is a really dirty world.

If you close your mouth right now, that means you will live in that kind of world.

To Jeong Hee's Mother ; You should make sure Jeong Hee does not talk about it.

No,

I,

Wang Jeong Hee,

If you cause trouble one more time, I will really kick you out to America!

You're mistaken.

It's true that it's a sample question from last year.

Grade report

Does it make sense that your test scores would jump up so suddenly?

Hey, say honestly.

Huh? How did you do that?

I guess my brain must be so smart, then.

Hey, does that make sense?

We played together, does this make any sense?

You went lower.

You should've studied with me when I asked.

You don't even have a book in your house.

Hey, hey, you cheated didn't you?

Tell me honestly.

If not, you stole something, right?

I said I didn't, why are you like this?

Stop talking about being a traitor. Don't make me mad and just go.

Hey, you, you, back out from our team!

I don't want to be with you guys anyway.

Tell me honestly.

I said I didn't so why are you guys like this? Really...

If not then what?

How did you suddenly raise in the rankings?

People know that you are in Hong Sang Tae's study group.

We feel bad because you are lying to us.

We even took a blood oath not to keep secrets.

That rumor last time about the test paper being leaked, was that you?

Perhaps did your mother give a bribe to the vice principal?

Na Do Hee.

You're always cursing your Mom in front of us, but you take everything you want behind our backs.

Gosh, you're spitting out rough words just because you have a mouth. Hey you! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Let go! Let go!

Hey! You bad girls! You traitor!

Let go!

- Hey, Mackerel's mom came. - Wow, this is crazy.

They are having a fuss in there right now.

Why would Mackerel's mom come just because they told her to come.

- Who is Mackerel? - He's the smelly loser in Class 3.

-It's Mackerel's mom-- -You said you will take responsibility and increase his grades.

Didn't you say that?

But rather than going up, it went down even more.

Then,

shouldn't you at least return the money?

Who's the one who wasn't able to take it when it was given?

If the son's brain doesn't work quickly, shouldn't the mom at least be tactful?

Geun Soo's mother... what is the matter?

Why are you here Teacher Park? Leave. I said get out!

Just give me at least half. Then, I won't say anything.

That money is like my blood to me.

I'm like this because it's so unfair, Teacher.

This woman is saying such nonsense!

What you gave me was a letter, letter! Who said there was money inside?

Should I call the witnesses and ask them?

Then...

Give me back my letter.

Give me back the letter that I wrote with my blood and tears!

Ah, really.

This ahjumma must have gone insane! Insane!

Before you give me back my letter, I'm not moving a step!

What are you doing in someone else's seat? Get out! I told you to get out!

This woman, really!

How can a situation like this arise at school?

Someone who's supposed to be a teacher accepts a bribe and sells test answers.

The kids steal tests and the school turns a blind eye!

How can this be called a school?

Teacher Park No Ah. I'm saying this clearly.

I have never received a bribe.

What I received was a letter.

Vice Principal you really,

are someone who doesn't comprehend words.

I will go to the school board right now.

Do you think your father is different?

Your father also bought a teaching position through bribery.

And he gave it to you, his son!

You're the fruit of bribery yourself!

Hey, Mackerel. I heard your mother bribed the vice principal and bought the test questions.

It must be nice that some have so much money they can buy the answers to a test.

My family doesn't have that much money either.

If you don't have money, why did you do that?

We, who studied until we got a nose bleed, were the ones who got f***ed up!

Stop!

Hey Mackerel, next time when you buy the answers to a test, don't get caught.

If I find that out, it will feel really shitty.

Are your grades like that even though you had the answers? What an idiot.

Glasses... my glasses...

My glasses... glasses...

They broke. Stop looking for them.

That can't happen. They can't break.

They are the most important thing to me.

Why did you do it, Geun Soo? Did you have to do it?

I wanted to do well too.

I wanted to be treated well by the teachers

and I didn't want to be ignored by the other students.

I wanted to sit in the front seats too.

Even so, Geun Soo, there are things you shouldn't do.

You should've done it by your own strength.

What do I do if no matter how hard I try it doesn't work out?

What do I do when no matter how hard I try, my grade doesn't improve?

I'm not the only one doing it. Why are they doing it only to me?

Other kids do it, so why only to me?

I can't poop because it's so nosy.

It's okay Ah Ran. Grades can go up and down.

It's more than enough if you did your best.

It's not enough at all.

No matter how hard I try, it's not graded fairly. So, how is that enough?

It's unfair.

The whole world... is full of frauds.

♫ because I couldn't hug you ♫

♫ Because I couldn't even thank you ♫

♫ Stupid me ♫

♫ is crying like this ♫

Schools where students can go to safely, the country which help them go to such schools, ♫ I will send my feelings in a wish ♫

and the country where the parents can work at ease.

That is the true welfare state. ♫ Even if it's in a dream ♫

♫ come and find me ♫

Dear Minister of Education, Kang Soo Chan.

Not long ago, the one who committed suicide by jumping off from the school's rooftop, ♫ Now I, I , I ♫

do you remember Jin Yi Kyeong on the news? ♫ I am only sorry like this ♫

I am her friend who goes to the same school as her. ♫ Even though I'm calling for you until I'm hoarse, ♫

You might find it hard to believe what I say from now on. ♫ Why is there no answer? ♫

However, please listen until the end. ♫ because a nail is driven in my heart, ♫

Because, at that school, lots of Yi Kyeong's friends are still there. ♫ I'm calling for you. Oh I'm crying, crying, crying ♫

Those kids too, like Yi Kyeong, are hurting. ♫ the tears are calling your heart rending name ♫

Please help my friends, Minister.

- You've come all the way here! - Nice to meet you!

Yes, hello.

Hello.

- Please make schools to be ones we can send our kids (at ease). - Minister, please allow me to shake hands with you.

- Ah, I admire you. - Thank you.

- We trust you! - Minister, I love you!

Goodbye!

Minister Kang Soo Chan!

Is this all true?

Yes, I even told the school board, but it was no use.

At the school, there are still a lot of bribery and corruption going on.

Please help us, Minister.

You are a brave student.

Can you help us?

If this is true, then of course I have to help.

If there is such a school with shameless teachers,

those must be thrown out immediately. Don't worry and go back to school.

I will take care of this problem.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister!

Yes, you're welcome.

Let's go to Samseong Dong.

Gong Joo! Someone who can help us has appeared.

A really high status person says he can help us!

Ah, what in the world are you talking about...?

A high status person, who?

Minister Kang Soo Chan promised that he will take care of the problem in Myeong Seong High School.

Minister?

But can you trust a politician's promise?

This person is different. I did some research,

He is a really respectable educator and--

Noonim, someone has arrived there.

I feel like I've seen this grandpa a lot before.

Did I see him on a vacation?

Oh! It's him.

The minister?

This person... why is he here?

Hello, Minister. What brings you here?

Does a minister have to handle this kind of trash?

- What is this...? - This is from a student at Myeong Seong High School. A female student gave it to me.

- She is out of her mind. - Don't let me hear the whining of the kids.

Because I really hate it.

Give them a candy or a mouthpiece to make sure they don't whine.

♫ Your bright smile will be my reason for living ♫

♫ Please come back to my arms. I love you. I'm sorry. ♫

♫ Oh I'm crying crying, crying ♫
