You must have been surprised by my unexpected phone call. I have something to tell you, so I called. You have a daughter.

You must have been surprised by my unexpected phone call.

I have something to tell you, so I called.

You have a daughter.

♫ Oh I'm on my way to you right now ♫

♫ Even if I tell you so, you'll just turn around and go back ♫

Certificate of Appointment as School President

Party? Treating everybody to celebrate her becoming the school president?

We got together often when Yeong Jae's family was around.

But we haven't had any gathering as couples since Woo Joo's family moved in.

Come to think of it, we really haven't had a couple's get together since.

Nor did we throw them a welcoming party. That's not very polite.

Make sure to invite Professor Hwang's family.

Of course, I will.

So your years of indigestion will dissipate.

What indigestion?

Shall we have a glass of wine?

I'll bring Ye Seo some snacks and be right back.

No, no, I'll take them. Give them to me.

- You? - Yeah.

Episode 9

Timing and Subtitles Brought To You By The Sky High Team @ Viki

Don't push yourself too hard.

I just started to feel a little bit hungry.

Really? Here. I'll put your certificate of appointment as school president

into a frame and hang it up right here.

It wasn't even a proper competition since Hye Na resigned though...

Do you think someone would resign if they were confident they'd win?

She quit because she thought she'd lose.

Just like in The Art of War, winning without a fight is a true victory.

Really?

Actually, I felt a little uneasy even after I won school president.

What's there to feel uneasy about? Our daughter is the true winner.

Here, drink this while it's warm.

You must have been surprised by my unexpected phone call. I have something to tell you, so I called. You have a daughter.

Hello?

Hello?

Is this Eun Hye?

This is Kim Eun Hye, right?

What do you expect me to do at this time? I'm sorry but...

Any relationship I had with you already ended 18 years ago. Don't call me again.

Dear? Ye Seo liked it, didn't she?

Well, I'm not sure if she liked it...

She is not very expressive but I'm sure she liked it.

She might have written in her journal that today's the day her dad brought her snacks. Do it often.

I will. That's not so hard.

Thank you.

What would've happened if you've continued to oppose Coach Kim?

Thank you for trusting me.

No need for thanks. You've worked hard.

He's going to get revenge for tarnishing his image.

How do you know what he'd do to me while I'm sprawled out from the anesthesia?

He holds grudges.

He's capable of anything. He can purposely do a botched surgery and claim I have a VIP syndrome (wanting a special treatment).

What if he says, "This happened when he tried to do a better job"?

Geez! Stop mumbling and go to sleep!

You're such an inhumane wife. Your husband...

Your husband is facing a life-or-death situation. How can you sleep?

No matter how much Ye Seo's dad hates you, do you really think he'd purposely botch the surgery?

He would botch the surgery?

You can get an infection from drilling improperly and you get paralyzed in the ankle if you cut a nerve.

- If you cut an artery, I can bleed out— - Repeat after me.

Professor Kang Joon Sang is God of spinal surgery.

What?

Your body doesn't just belong to you.

It's like Soo Han and I are going to be on that surgical table with you.

How can a patient have no trust in his doctor?

- Mind control. - What?

Embed it deep within your bones.

Professor Kang Joon Sang is the God of spinal surgery. Say it.

Say it, or else.

Professor Kang Joon Sang— Do I really have to say it?

Say it, or else.

Professor Kang Joon Sang is the God of spinal surgery.

- Louder! - Professor Kang Joon Sang is the God of spinal surgery.

Professor Kang Joon Sang is the God of spinal surgery. Professor Kang Joon Sang is the God of spinal surgery.

- Hey. - Yes?

How long did Chief Kang drink last night?

I'm not sure, I left after the third round. I think Chief Kang stayed longer.

He's... not hungover, is he?

Honey, have you forgotten? Professor Kang Joon Sang is the God of spinal surgery!

He is the God.

Say it with me! Professor Kang Joon Sang is the God of spinal surgery.

- God! - God!

- God! - God!

- My son! - God!

Fighting, Dad!

Don't worry, my son.

- Good luck, Honey. Go, Honey. - Okay. Okay.

- Be strong! - Yeah.

Kang Joon Sang is the God of spinal surgery.

Did you make a good incision?

Yes, Professor. A clean cut.

What is this? Why did you cut so much?

- Excuse me? - You cut over ten centimeters.

Why did you use such a big rongeur? (T/N: Surgical instrument with sharp edge for gouging out bone)

B-Because... y-you said to open wide.

What?

What is this?

You a**hole, you cut the nerve.

What? I-I-I did?

You cut it. Did I do it? How can you make the same mistake again?!

Then what will happen to Professor Woo?

Are you asking because you don't know?

He won't be able to run due to his ankle paralysis,

and he won't even be able to walk properly.

Wh-Wh-What do we do, Professor?

Isn't there a way to fix this? I'm sorry Professor Woo. Ah, seriously, what do we do—

Bur! (T/N: Surgical steel tip attached to a drill for excavation, incision, or removal of bone)

Punk, how dare you mess with me?

My legs! M-My legs.

- What?! What's wrong?! - My legs, my legs...

What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare again?

No, it was just a crazy dream.

You're driving me crazy, seriously. You're such a scaredy-cat.

What's the point of even saying anything? When you were removing ear wax, a piece of cotton fell out and

you ran to the emergency room.

I said it was just a crazy dream!

Sleep!

Jin. Ow, ow, my back.

She was admitted to Seongju University Education School as a Korean Language Education major in 1996.

But she did not graduate because she hadn't completed her student teaching requirement in her fourth year.

She couldn't complete her student teaching requirement?

She wasn't able to complete the 16 days of required attendance during 4 weeks of training period, so she quit after 15 days.

She only needed to go for one more day, but she quit instead?

There was no way she didn't know that it was required in order for her to graduate.

There's definitely some sort of story behind it. Find out what it was, no matter what.

Yes, Ma'am.

What about her job?

She is a children's book author whose book, "The Garden of Walnut Trees" made her debut through a competition held by a publishing company 15 years ago.

She has yet to release a follow-up book.

She hasn't published anything else in 15 years? What's the story behind it?

It is about 12 children who happily live in a house among a garden of walnut trees with their mother.

One day, the youngest child, Byeol, goes missing. [The Garden of Walnut Trees]

So the mother travels across 9 mountain passes and fights various kinds of monsters.

In the end, she saves her daughter.

What about her personal life?

She remarried Woo Joo's dad? I had no idea.

Isn't it said, "If you know your enemies and yourself, you can win every battle."

Thanks to you, Coach. I feel like I'm holding a winning hand.

Anyway, as Young Jae's former coach, I want to prevent the misery of Yeong Jae's family

from everybody gossiping about it in their free time.

Of course. That goes without saying.

Even in order to preserve the honor of the deceased, I'll stop it for sure, no matter what.

What on earth? Didn't that divorcee just marry Woo Joo's dad so she can be set for life?

Gosh. Nowadays, what kind of fault is it to get divorced or remarried?

It's not a flaw, but don't you think it's funny?

The fact that she didn't give birth to Woo Joo, so she doesn't make a desperate effort for her son's grades.

Pretending to be refined, pretending to be cool.

"I only enrolled Woo Joo in private tutoring for mathematics because he wanted it. I didn't enroll him in anything else."

Ha! Really, it's funny.

It's unsettling that she's taking the hard work of us, moms, who are doing their best for our children's future as a joke.

She broke down our book club and nosily acted as if she was doing our kids a favor,

and she's a stepmom who never had her own child.

She's saying she's an author or something and wanting to write a novel about Yeong Jae's story.

Are you going to let that happen, Unni?

Can you give this to her? It's an invitation to Ye Seo's party celebrating her win. Here's yours.

Are you inviting her in order to stomp all over her?

Unni, let's beat her to a stump this time.

Sin Ah High School

Let's eat. Let's go!

Here's a piece for my daughter.

Let's go together.

Kang Ye Seo

Come quickly.

Do you want to eat lunch together?

Well, our vice president, congratulations on being elected.

Oh, can you eat here, leaving the president alone?

Can I sit here?

You must not like eggplant. I don't like it, either.

Since you became the school president, try changing the lunch menu to our taste.

Hwang Woo Joo!

Kang Ye Seo, congratulations on becoming school president.

Yeah.

- Are you congratulating her on being elected? - Yeah.

Ye Seo, congratulations.

Thanks.

Oh, I heard why you resigned.

What do you mean?

I heard your mom passed away.

Oh...

Hye Na's strong, so you'll pull through this.

Of course. I'm super strong.

Oh, you're admirable. Here's a piece of tonkatsu for you. (T/N: breaded deep-fried pork cutlet)

Hey. Kang Ye Seo needs to eat up and gain strength, not me.

She's the school president.

Eat up.

- Hye Na did? She congratulated you first? - Yeah.

It's weird, right? She's changed after her mom passed away.

What do you mean she changed?

She came to me first, wanting to eat together and gave me the tonkatsu Woo Joo gave her...

- Anyway, she's a bit weird. - Oh, really?

- Hye Na really did that? - Yeah.

She's really something. I wouldn't be able to live a day without you, Mom.

By the way, we're going to "Full Love House" to volunteer tomorrow.

Full Love House? That's where Grandma volunteers.

Son mole grew up to become an imposing young adult.

He could lift large rocks up high

and would say it felt like a feather.

He became a young adult mole.

Mother and father moles

decided to find the best wife

for their son.

I heard you became a school president. You're smart and pretty. Your mom must be so happy.

You sent your daughter to a good school, too.

I didn't. I'm in a situation where I ruined everything because I sent her abroad to study at an early age.

I have to succeed with my second child.

Ye Seo, how is it having a coordinator? Do you like it?

She goes to the same church as me. Don't worry.

Oh. Yes, it's a big help preparing for university.

It must be... That—

Grandma, Coach Jo is here to pick me up. I have to go now.

Okay. Are you coming back next week?

No. Next week, I'll be going to the nursing home I normally volunteer at.

- I'll be leaving now. Goodbye. - Okay.

Bye, Ye Seo.

They even tell her where to volunteer. It must be very nice.

Deaconess, can you introduce me to your daughter-in-law so I can hire the coordinator?

Your tea is getting cold. Drink up.

How great is that coordinator that I can't find out who she is through all my networking contacts?

You're an evil monster who makes soup out of kid's souls.

I'll stab your heart and rescue kids from you.

Byeol, even if I have to go through snake hell, knife mountain hell, or eternal hell,

I will never give up on you.

Because I'm your mom, Byeol.

Mom!

The accident caused brain stem lesions. (T/N: abnormal lump on the posterior part of the brain that's continuous with the spinal cord)

And it also caused damage to the frontal and temporal lobes. (T/N: Frontal: controls emotions, memory, language; Temporal: hearing)

We tried our best but we're not sure when she'll be able to regain consciousness.

And even if she does regain consciousness,

there are no guarantees that she'll lead a normal life.

No.

She's not my child. She's not.

- Mrs. Kim. - No.

Mrs. Kim!

- Mrs. Kim! - Not my child.

How is your investigation on Lee Soo Im's teaching internship going? Are you still checking it?

- Honey, aren't you getting ready? - Huh?

I have to go.

Should we not go if you don't want to? The last time we went to the promotion party, you got upset, too.

No, we should go.

But please don't be surprised.

Because I may throw my turning kick.

What did you say?

I have to pray that I won't use my Taekwondo level 4 skills.

What are you doing? We'll be late!

I'm coming.

Coming. Why even have a party? What else will be going on this time?

What are you mumbling to yourself?

I'm talking about Ye Seo's mom.

There must be a reason when she invites everyone. I'm just wondering.

She probably just wants to get together without any reasons.

We'll treat next time. Tell Se Ri to come home during vacation.

Welcoming party of a Harvard student, Cha Se Ri.

That's such a great reason to get together.

Does he want to boast that much?

Excuse me.

Thank you for coming everyone.

Thank you.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, Madame.

- Wow, your necklace looks really pretty. It's looks really elegant. - Really?

Wow, it is such an honor. Ye Seo and Seo Joon,

became captains in the great Sin Ah High School. It's more than an honor in the family.

And also, it's an honor to all of us here in the castle, Chief.

- What honor? - Of course, it is.

That our kids grow up to be the next leaders in the castle

is an honorable thing to keep the traditions.

Of course. The honorable traditions of the castle are

the biggest legacy we can pass down to our children, right?

Soo Im! Soo Han tells me that you're writing a book based on Yeong Jae's story, right?

You're writing a book based on Yeong Jae's story?

Our castle isn't the setting, right?

Of course, not. Soo Han's mom must be mistaken. Right, Soo Im?

It's your freedom to write whatever you want as an author.

But did you get permission from Professor Park?

I'm not a report writer but a children's book writer.

I won't write Yeong Jae's tragic story as it is.

Of course, the castle is the background for the story...

Did you say our castle is the background?

Then it's obvious that castle's honor would fall and the dignity would be damaged.

Professor Cha, is that your concern now?

The problem is not for the castle but for Yeong Jae and Hyung Soo Chang.

Anyway, it'll not be good if people find out what happened in our castle.

That's what I mean. It'll lower property values if this place is considered as regular apartments.

Are you in your right mind to say that?

Did I say something wrong?

There are so many kids like Yeong Jae these days.

Don't you think we should let kids know through a book what adults are

doing to them when it should be their happiest time in life?

Why don't you stay out of it, Honey?

Do you know Émile Zola who reported the Dreyfus Affair? (T/N: Political scandal that divided the Third French Republic, seen as a modern/universal symbol of injustice)

I don't know. (T/N: Political scandal that divided the Third French Republic, seen as a modern/universal symbol of injustice)

If that writer hadn't had the courage,

French society's insanity that tried to kill an innocent person who was accused of being a spy only because he was a Jew,

could have broken down.

You're right.

Authors have obligations to report the issues of the society in the present time—

Obligations or whatever it may be, why are you writing about the castle?

I feel helpless that Yeong Jae's tragedy didn't

have any effects on you.

No. Even though many kids kill themselves because of competing for college admission,

it doesn't create any changes in our society. It's sad and tragic.

Oh, my.

Are you as miserable as Hyung Soo Chang?

- I'm asking you if you're as miserable as Hyung Soo Chang? - That's why she's writing it.

To make it so such a tragedy won't happen again.

A doctor who used to save people's lives is hunting wild animals to survive.

So you'd want to use his story to make money?

- Making money? Aren't you being too rude? - Too rude?

Because of Hyung Soo Chang's tragedy, you got a house and a job.

You people, who live comfortably because of that, are so shameless.

Professor Kang! Can you please see me?

Honey.

Don't worry.

I'm sorry. I'll excuse myself first.

What kind of attitude is this in the middle of dinner?

Chief.

Oh, my! There's a saying; "one bad apple spoils the barrel." What is this?

If you still want to write a book even with oppositions, as a prosecutor before a resident in this castle,

I'll make sure you'd be responsible for your actions.

You get up, too. Let's go.

Go first.

Please give us the dessert.

Seung Hye and Jin Hee,

can you please excuse us?

I have something to say to Ye Seo's mom.

Jin Hee, let's go first.

Did you hear about Professor Cha?

I've got my eyes on you. I'll sue you for defamation.

Dessert, please.

I'm sorry but can you all give us some privacy?

Apologize. You made a mistake by calling me thick-skinned earlier.

You should be the one to apologize. You're the one who instigated the fight.

You're impossible to talk to.

How dare you volunteer to do the surgery of my team member?

How dare you make me look like a senseless doctor pursing only profit?

Enough about that already. You've already rationalized that you didn't provide unnecessary treatment.

There's no point in continuing to talk about this.

Rationalized? What did you say?

Are you calling me foolish?

Chief, what are you doing? Calm down. Chief, please.

Let go. I won't put up with this if you keep acting like this.

Won't put up with this? What are you going to do if you don't put up?

Do you think you're all that because Director Choi is kissing your a*s? Who do you think you're messing with?!

You'd better let go of me while I'm speaking nicely, without acting so pathetic.

What? P-Pathetic?

You punk!

You backed away? That's not polite.

- Ouch. That hurts! - His arm.

- That hurts. - He needs to perform surgery. Professor Hwang!

- That hurts. Hurts! - Let it slide, please.

What let slide, you punk?

What are you all doing?!

Please. His arm.

Geez.

You a*shole!

Chief!

- Chief! - Ow!

Ouch! Chief, my back! My back! My back!

My back, my back.

Jin! Jin! Jin!

- Hey. Call an ambulance. - Chief, help me.

I'm asking for the last time...

I won't give up on Yeong Jae's story.

I'm going to write it. Don't stop me.

Do you still not get what's going on? This isn't a fight between just you and me.

This will be a fight between you and the members of SKY Castle. How am I going to stop that?

You're just going to standby and watch after starting the fire?

Fine. No matter what you do, I'm going to write about it.

Your desire to succeed and get your name out there,

you're just pretending it's the role of an author.

What?

It's a tragedy that so many kids are dying from the competition to get into school?

Do you know what it feels like to lose a child?

Do you have any idea?

You've never even given birth.

Hey!

Mi Hyang. You know I'm holding back, right?

Why? Are you going to tell everyone that I'm Gwak Mi Hyang?

Do you think I'm like you?

You keep picking a fight with me, yet I'm letting it slide.

Next time, I'm going to drop kick you.

Who killed her

SKY Castle

Start a petition immediately and get signatures from everyone.

We have to stop her from writing the story even if we go against her as a group.

Unni, isn't this getting out of hand? I've been doing as you've ordered.

But it's not like the book is out. Plus it's a novel so real names won't be mentioned.

I'm not sure about anything else but it's going to be mentioned at least that it's a story about doctors living in a castle.

If they scour the internet a few times, they'll figure out where it is in a heartbeat.

Moreover, imagine if words get out that we in the castle spend several billion won on coordinators for college preparation.

It's already a sensitive matter but we'll become the public enemy.

That's right. My friends are envious that I live in a castle.

If word gets out about the coordinators, they'll have a reason to rip me apart.

If we start a petition and show it to her, she'll probably be emotionally burdened, right?

Of course. Don't you remember what Professor Cha said? He'll sue her for defamation.

Okay. I'll start getting signatures tomorrow.

Okay. Keep up the good work.

Honk honk! I quickly moved aside from the sound of the horn honking.

It looks like the new neighbors are moving in.

Do they know that someone who used to live in that home died?

Why aren't you asleep?

Geez. I can't fall asleep.

What about you? Are you okay?

I was worried about how I should start the first sentence but it's writing well.

Honey, go sleep first.

- Honey? - Yeah?

Are you doing this because of Yeon Doo, by any chance?

It seemed you were looking at Yeon Doo's picture earlier.

I was wondering if you still haven't forgotten about that incident.

I can't forget about it. How can I forget?

When Lee Soo Im was a student teacher, there was a student in her class who was stressed about her grades.

She butted heads with the teacher who told her to ignore the child.

She was told to ignore it? Why?

What's wrong with you? Did you get hurt?

Can't you just leave me alone?

Yeon Doo!

Yeon Doo!

Yeon Doo.

Yeon Doo!

I told you not to mind her.

Even her parents gave up on her, so what will you, a student teacher, do?

Just fill your attendance quietly, then leave, okay?

Is it appropriate for her homeroom teacher to say that?

There is a phrase that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Really...

Her dad is a college professor. A psychology professor.

He even gave up on her. Who do you think you are?!

Even if parents gave up on her, then you should embrace her.

You really don't get it, huh?

She hurts herself constantly and not only her parents

- but also her therapist gave up on her. - And still no one listens to her.

She's screaming out loud asking to save her.

You have to help her.

She needs a safe place to go and rest.

She says she wants to be by herself.

Dang. Get out!

Get out!

Hey, Yeon Doo! Yeon Doo!

Call me. You have my number, right?

Get out!

Yeon Doo!

I don't think she'll back down easily.

I don't think she is digging into Yeong Jae's story for simple gossip.

What should I do?

Don't you know what to do?

You have to stop her.

Ms. Lee Soo Im?

Hello. This is Kim Joo Yeong.

Ah, yes.

I was planning to come and see you because I didn't hear from you.

Thank you for calling me back.

You have a question regarding Yeong Jae, right?

Would it be okay for me to pick a place and time?

That's fine. Of course.

There?

Can you guess why

I wanted to meet here?

I took it as you'd only tell me the truth without any lie.

I heard that you'd write a book about Yeong Jae's story

and I wanted to help you as much as possible.

If you have any questions, please ask.

Can I ask you a question in a straightforward way?

Yes, you can ask.

I read Yeong Jae's journal a little.

What was the reason that you encouraged him to take revenge on his parents?

I am sorry that I kept it from you that he got psychiatric treatment.

But he recovered completely.

His doctor told us that there's no negative effect on his academics.

Yeong Jae has no desire to study right now.

There's a saying that we can drag a horse by the river but we can't make him drink water.

No way, Coach.

There's no way. Please make him drink water even if he is forced.

I'm sorry. That's out of my boundary.

Coach, please. Please help him to get accepted.

Coach, you can do it.

If you can help him to get accepted,

I'll do anything. Okay?

Yeong Jae hates me.

He hates me because I kicked out Ga Eul whom he liked.

Can't you do something either using Ga Eul or his hatred towards me?

Are you asking me to use his hatred and revenge towards you?

Will you be okay with that?

Yes.

Yes, it's okay.

Everything will be okay after he gets accepted.

His vengeance will disappear.

He'll understand that I did it for him because he's my son.

Foolishly, I also thought like her.

His vengeance will disappear after he gets accepted.

I believed that the parent-child relationship would be restored.

It's my fault. Because of me...

I promised myself that I wouldn't make any tragedy like Yeon Doo's.

J-Just now...

did you say Yeon Doo?

It's nothing. Please don't mind me.

By any chance... Ji Suh Junior High, Song Yeon Doo?

Do you know Yeon Doo?

Ex-Excuse me... but how are you related to Yeon Doo?

I was her private tutor until the accident.

But how do you know Yeon Doo, Lee Soo Im?

Pardon?

Ah, I had also taught her for a short period of time.

Ah, I see.

Her family was ruined after the incident.

They emigrated to Canada with the remaining children.

I'm sorry but I'll leave first.

Thank you for your time.

If you can help Yeong Jae to get accepted, then I'll do anything.

I'll do anything, okay?

Are you saying that you'll take everything, no matter what happens?

I asked you if you'll take everything.

Yes, I will.

I'll take it. Of course, I will.

Drive safely!

- Are you all right? - Oh, my...

Are you okay?

Are you crazy? Do you want to die?

Yeon Doo!

Yeon Doo! Yeon Doo, you...

Yeon Doo!

Teacher...

Ahjussi, please stop here.

Yeon Doo! Yeon Doo!

Yeon Doo...

Yeon Doo... Oh...

Yeon Doo... Oh...

Yeon Doo!

Teacher, please help me.

I... want to live.

Please enjoy.

Seo Jin, you take care of the PTA meeting. (Parent-Teacher Association)

I'll just follow after.

That's right.

Pulling from the front and pushing from the back.

We're a team now.

Is it okay that our views clash so much?

What do you mean our views clash?

Do you think the Dreyfus Affair and Yeong Jae's incident are the same?

The French people with full insanity who accused Dreyfus of being a spy

and we, who loved Myeong Joo and Yeong Jae as our neighbors, are the same?

You must think we're different.

The insanity of the French who hated Jews and the selfishness of a group who only thinks about the honor of the castle...

They're the same to me.

Seung Hye,

how about choosing which route you're going to?

What do you mean by route?

Completely focus on your children's grades like me

or chase after morals like Woo Joo's mom.

You want to send your children to Seoul University and be a good mom as well.

You can lose everything while chasing after two rabbits.

You're mistaken. I've never followed after you who goes chasing after grades.

Oh, I must've mistaken you for Professor Cha.

Tell Professor Cha that word can't get out.

Are we clear on this?

Is this the deal between Seo Jin and you?

Korean, English,

Math, and Economics.

Korean History? What about the other subjects? Is this it?

Why are you asking me? Ask directly from the person you've made the deal with.

Do you know how much this would cost me?

There are five semesters until college. There are ten exams of midterms and finals.

The money Kim Joo Yeong makes from making a list of expected questions ten times,

think how much that is... It's expensive. It costs more than hundreds of millions of won.

Are you happy that you got your hands on such an expensive list of expected questions for free?

You might have been harsh, but you are a father set on teaching his kids the proper way.

You aren't the type who would raise their grades using such tactics.

Face reality. Do you know what education means in Korea?

It's scoring high on exams.

What?

If one gets good grades, they're bound to study harder.

The memory of success would be their motivation.

The role of a parent is to make that opportunity.

Just watch, our kids will score high this time for sure.

The safe is unlocked.

Eat up. Do you know how concerned Ahjumma is about you?

I know that you'll be doing well because you're strong and smart

but I keep wondering if you're eating well.

I'm doing well.

My mom will be sad if she sees me going through a hard time.

So I make sure to eat.

Ahjumma, don't worry about me.

Sure, you should.

- Do you want a tour of the castle after you eat? - Okay.

- The question is hard. - Let me see.

C.

So...

Even you don't know.

We're always in the beginners class.

So annoying. If we fail again, we'll be in the same class as elementary kids.

It's a quadratic equation.

Do you want me to solve it for you?

Consider yourselves lucky. Hye Na's the God of mathematics.

If you want to figure out the base, you need the coordinates of A and B.

The base, four multiplied by height, four,

divided by two.

What's the answer then?

- Eight. - Yeah.

Ye Bin, you're so smart.

Ye Bin, if you meet the right teacher, you'll breeze right through this.

Wow. Noona, you're so good at teaching.

Noona, I want you to tutor me.

Oh, really?

But I have to study, too.

I can only tutor one person.

One person?

I'll see you later.

Hey! Where are you going?

I got everyone's signature except for those studying abroad or on vacation.

This is a hot topic.

Everyone's against her writing the novel.

- Seung Hye didn't sign. - That's what I'm saying.

The one female in the castle, Professor Cha's wife,

is the only one who didn't sign. Now that we mention her name,

I really don't like her.

She's a backstabber.

She was a helicoptor mom

who sent Se Ri to Harvard and then acts all dignified.

"You don't know Émile Zola?"

No, I don't. What are you going to do with that?

Send a notice to all the neighbors.

Let's get started on this.

Mom? Mom?

Hello.

Aigo.

You're not a baby. Why are you looking for your mom?

Ye Bin, is something wrong?

That's where Ki Joon and Seo Joon live.

And that's where Soo Han lives.

And that's where Ye Seo lives.

You want to be tutored by Hye Na?

Yeah.

So commendable. Telling your mom you want to be tutored first.

But Hye Na? Who is Hye Na?

Did Hye Na say she'd tutor you first?

No. Soo—

She said she could only tutor one person.

I want to pass the level test. It's embarrassing studying with elementary school kids.

I said who's Hye Na?

She's Ye Seo's classmate.

Classmate? Oh, my. How can a high school student tutor?

Right?

Ye Bin, I'll find you a better teacher.

No, it's fun learning from Unni Hye Na.

Nevermind. Forget it.

She must really like Hye Na.

How did she charm the kid?

Hye Na did?

- Hye Na congratulated you first? - Yeah.

It's weird, right? She's changed after her mom passed away.

Honey, I'm going to make a call.

Let me ask you something.

This is out of character for you,

but by any chance did you tell Hye Na that I made her resign from running for school president?

Am I crazy? My son's life is in your hands.

She already picked up on it when I told her to resign.

Be careful of Hye Na.

She's more than capable of exploiting you. She can have an adult perfectly under her control.

She threatened and scammed me out of 3 million won in one sitting.

Oh, really?

Okay. Thanks.

Coach, I called you because I was worried.

I think Hye Na figured out that I'm the one who made her resign from the campaign.

It's bothersome that she's lingering around Ye Seo and Ye Bin.

Don't worry, Madame.

I understand.

Mr. Jo, keep an eye on Kim Hye Na.

Patient Kim Hye Na.

Patient Kim Hye Na.

Is Patient Kim Hye Na here?

Check the results on the chart.

Is the patient here?

Patient Kim Hye Na.

♫ We all lie ♫

♫ Tell you the truth ♫

What did you just say?

I said to let Kim Hye Na into your home.

Hye Na... Why?

♫ All right, it's a... It's faker ♫

Isn't it best to keep the ticking bomb near you and disarm it?

- Ticking bomb? - Not only did you make her resign from the campaign,

but you also cut off the monetary support she was receiving from Do Hoon's mother.

On top of that, she lost her mother who was her only family.

Hye Na has nothing to be afraid of.

SKY Castle

Honestly, this is the first time I've made such an offer.

- Why did Ye Seo's grades drop? - Who do you think made me fail the test?

I failed because of you, Mom.

Hye Na is the best pacemaker to make Ye Seo stronger.

I heard you're helping Woo Joo's mom write her novel.

I once had a child who was like a blessing of life.

Do you still want to continue writing your novel?

What are you all so afraid of, that sparked taking group action?

Do you have an inferiority complex?

- Why are you taking my words— - Speaking of you, do you really have to talk like that?

You know better than anyone what it feels like to be poor.

So?

What are you trying to say?

♫ I know ♫
