[Episode 1]

School has the romance of youth.

[196th Place out of 200]

Crazy bitch.

To a person in 196th place, the romance of youth is...

is nothing but nonsense.

I realized this while studying for 15 hours a day.

Life is unfair.

The kids who are academic achievers were born brilliant

and not only that, they're good at sports and have a good personality.

They're pretty and handsome, and are rich, too.

It's the sad reality that one cannot easily succeed

coming from a humble family.

So I'm at the bottom of the food chain, so to speak.

Since Yeon Doo is here, why don't we begin?

Okay. Here.

196.

All right, 196? 198.

Oh, is that right? 200.

Hey, how could you get 200th place?

Why? Someone over here got 198th.

Hey, there's a person in 196th place too, okay?

And here's a person in 200th!

Hey, you did well.

Ugh... how difficult.

Hey, whatever. You did your best!

Isn't that all that matters?

Forget this. Let's practice our butts off.

Get up!

Yes! We'll work our butts off, ma'am!

A place where the one in 200th place comforts the one in 196th place.

In that hot, stuffy place, we all breathed together.

[One Year Later]

[Kang Yeon Doo, Second Year of High School]

Two, three, go!

- Damn... - Those assholes again!

Geez... finally, some peace and quiet.

Spin it!

- Why me again? - It's all you.

All right... let's go!

All right... from the beginning!

Vice Pres. Isn't it annoying?

Do something about this.

It's not like they're doing that to get into S University.

So what the hell are they doing?

Vice Pres!

Last year, at our Sevit High School we sent 43 students to S University.

Average high schools send maybe 15 students there

but as you can see, we've sent three times that.

And that's not all, ladies and gentlemen!

This year, it's our goal to send

over 50 percent of our students to one of the SKY colleges.

Yes.

Are you going to continue allowing students to participate in clubs?

For the best Su Shi Exam results, club activity is essential.

My child said that one of the clubs is so noisy.

A club fills up merely a line on their college applications

so is it really necessary to let them continue?

Of course, ma'am.

Our school's policy is to abolish any club causing a disturbance to others.

- Damn it! - Goddamn it!

We will never lose!

It's war!

- Real King! Real King! - Real King! Real King!

Geez, those people...

Just raise it. All the way, okay?

More, more, more! More!

That won't be enough!

- Let's go, let's go! - Faster!

- Let's go! Let's go! - Let's go! Let's go!

Oh no!

Hey!

Ugh, the smell!

This was so expensive... [Tremble, tremble]

Damn those people...

Hey. Everyone, let's go.

And the second floor is our new library.

We are constantly trying our best to ensure that

the students have access to any books they'd like.

We are also planning to build personal studies in the dorms.

And where is the reserved area?

That way.

We are doing our best to ensure that it is a space where

students can be immersed in their studies without disturbances.

Let us go.

Why I ought to... shut your mouth.

Hey... why don't you shut it?

Geez... these assholes...

What did you say, bastard?

What, what? Huh?

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

I'm at your school. Don't be doing anything offensive.

Does it make sense that we can't even use electricity?

Is this the Joseon Era?

Did we cut off your electricity? Then you'd actually be good at studying.

I know, right? Hm?

Why is it that we're not good at studying and are restricted access from using

the air conditioner, refrigerator, water filter, and electricity?

This school is quite something.

It's winner takes all.

Fine! We did badly on the exams, happy?

Well, yeah... it's hard to do well when you're dumb.

Hey, hey.

You're looking down on us because we're not smart?

We only want to share the electricity. You can't even do that?

I don't have any reason to.

Try to understand the concept at least, all right?

People like you were born with more shitty rights than we were.

Shitty?

You little...

Back off.

Watch your back.

The world is more brutal than you'd think.

Why? Because people like you have no fear, so they can accomplish nothing.

Baek Ho: A cheerleading club in name only.

Are in the top five percent. Winners in the winner-take-all effect.

In other words, the bitchy cream of the crop at Sevit.

Real King: A street dance club.

Eighth tier, and in the bottom five percent.

The shame of Sevit High.

If you have nothing, grovel.

Or do you not know that, since you're so dumb?

You're dead today.

Get over here.

- You get over here. - Come at me!

- Hey, hey, hey! - Hey!

- Ow! - Hey!

- You have a death wish? - Wow, look here!

[It's the homeroom teacher!]

All of you, get inside. Hurry it up. Now!

I'll give you five seconds, and then you get

penalty points for every additional second.

Five. Four. Three, two, one! Start!

Hurry it up.

One penalty point for you. Hurry up. One point.

One point for you too. And you too.

Let's go.

You broke the most expensive thing in school.

All of you... five penalty points!

What?

What the hell?

This damn school. So why can't we have any electricity...

What did you say, punk?

If this happens one more time your club will be abolished for sure.

You know the principal's personality, right?

- What the.... - Shush.

[Father]

Let's go.

The caller you have dialed is unavailable...

Are you preparing well for midterms?

Yes, Mother. I'm working hard.

Since you're trying hard, you won't be second place this time.

I don't want to see another report card like that again.

The sound of the shepherd boys' flutes ring through the hills...

This is blatant discrimination!

He's always threatening to abolish us!

How come your Baek Ho doesn't want to use such nice facilities?

Don't be like that...

How about talking things out between clubs?

Talking things out? With who?

With that bastard, Kim Yeol?

If we keep fighting, you guys are the only ones who'll suffer.

Do you think I'll be able to communicate with that guy?

Just come on strong so that he'll fear getting punished, too.

Do you think I'll be able to get through to him?

Ugh... it's a student meeting.

I have to clean the room.

Go ahead. I'll take care of the cleaning.

But still... I always feel bad.

It's fine!

You help me out all the time, too.

Thanks.

I'll be back.

Okay. Go ahead.

I'm so pissed!

Yes, Section Chief?

I have about an hour free, so connect me to...

Soo Ah!

Big trouble!

What is this?

Who the hell did this?

Vice Pres.

You're not going to do anything?

These punks are really creative.

Those dumbasses from Real King...

It was flawless, really.

[Real King Out!!]

These assholes!

A peace treaty?

Just for now. If we keep fighting, we might get abolished.

Just us.

You're not that hospitable for someone who called a guest here.

It's because we're poor, sir!

Yes, customer! What shall I get you? Water? Cola?

- Cola! - Yes, sir!

Here.

Hey, isn't this a bit unfair?

Our clubs are quite similar

but we're the only ones always being cursed at and discriminated against.

Do you know what Bill Gates once said?

Life is unfair as it is.

So one should quickly get used to that truth.

Hey!

You feel burdened, right?

One... you get off me first.

Two... I get off first.

Three...

since we're already in this situation, we just go for it.

[I report Second Years Kim Yeol and Kang Yeon Doo]

[on the account of immoral behavior.]

Geez.

Wow... look at these two, going at it. Geez...

Did a report come in?

Wow... look at these two.

I can't believe it.

Send that to me quickly. They're kids from Real King, right?

The kids who banded together due to their grades

and a teacher who tattles to the principal for the sake of his own survival...

Our school is quite a well-oiled machine. Really.

Did you say that for me to hear?

No, of course not.

It was for me to hear. Since this is humiliating.

- Oh. - Yeah.

What the hell is this?

[Due to immoral activity occurring in their allotted space]

[the students involved will face the abolishing of the club below as a result.]

[Real King]

Looks like they finally went mad.

What is this? What happened?

Goddamn it...

I bet Baek Ho was behind this.

We have to rip out their hairs for them to get it.

Who took the photo?

And that guy Kim Yeol gets off tax free because he's in Baek Ho!

You think Baek Ho is merely Baek Ho?

They're all kids who have affluent connections.

Whose side do you think they'll take?

- Hey... - Hey!

Kang Yeon Doo!

Teach! You're inside, aren't you?

Principal! Hey!

Hey!

She must feel wronged.

We kissed together, but only her club was abolished.

Well, she should've had a rich father or studied harder.

If only that were the case, it would've been fine.

Like me.

The offense is severe, but we're going to let you off with a light punishment.

Since you have the best grades in school and your father is a powerful person

I should give you at least this much consideration, right?

Consideration?

Consideration?

Wow, how admirable... hearing words like this from this school.

I'm doing my best to beat around the bush.

You don't get what I'm saying?

Don't worry.

I'll graduate, at the very least.

Let me see her!

She's inside! Why can't I see her?

I'm going to ask her personally why only we're getting punished and abolished.

Will the principal see just anyone?

Just anyone? Why is a student "just anyone?"

You little... you really want to be punished?

You want me to transfer all of your club members out of this school?

Anyway... at least tell me who took the photo.

If we can just confirm that they misread the situation

then our abolishment can be overturned!

Geez... you're so frustrating.

If I tell you everything, are you going to report them?

Well, are you?

Then let me meet the principal, at least!

Then who exactly is allowed to meet her?

Hello.

What the hell?

How come he can see her but I can't?

Are you on my level?

Good thing I ran into you. Follow me, you bastard.

You can't get caught again, can you?

The teacher even put in a good word for you.

Hey, let go! You're not letting go?

You have a death wish?

We didn't actually kiss.

And?

So tell the principal that we didn't kiss so we have no reason to be abolished.

Do you think she'll believe that?

Geez, you're so dumb.

It doesn't matter if it's believable or not... it's the truth!

The truth?

The thing that's important to the principal is getting rid of you guys.

It's not whether we really kissed or not.

Aren't you even curious who took our photo, and why?

Someone who wants to get you in trouble and make themselves look good.

A rival who wants to get me punished.

Or... one of the many unspecified individuals at our school.

It should be one of these three, right?

But still, talk to her.

Even if she won't believe it, we still have to let her know.

I don't want to.

One. There won't be any bad comments affecting me.

Two... if I tell her and it comes back to bite me, it won't be good.

Three.

Are we so close that we have to endure hardship together?

Geez... you're such an asshole.

Right? I hear that a lot.

I didn't kiss Kang Yeon Doo!

That kiss wasn't real! Why won't he say it?

What a pervert!

I should just ask Dong Jae to nail him with a basketball...

Hey!

Yes, Ha Dong Jae! We love you, Ha Dong Jae!

Dong Jae! Block him! Quick!

Block him!

- Block him! - Block him!

Dong Jae... what kind of play was that?

Why do you even play basketball?

Because I like it.

Then withstand getting hit!

I don't want to, though.

Geez... you idiot.

How could you say that to a friend?

What?

And what did you say to make him call you that, hm?

Stay out of this!

Ha Dong Jae.

This is your last warning.

If you're not going to play properly, leave.

I did play properly.

I got us 15 of the 30 points we scored.

Hey.

And all you did was set me up.

If I hadn't been intercepted because of you, we would've won.

I worked so hard, too.

You little...

Hey! Hey! Wait! I'm a girl! Hey!

You're dead!

- Ah, no! - Piss off!

[Damn it!]

What's with you, huh?

Does it make sense that a guy with physical disabilities plays basketball?

Do you want to keep playing with guys who hate you?

What's so great about basketball?

Do you like basketball that much?

Yeah.

I love it.

Geez... all right. What can you do if you like it?

Why did I even come to this school?

I came because you came.

Do you think I'll really be able to withstand attending this school?

Ugh, I'm so frustrated!

Hey!

Hey, hurry up and stick your straw in.

- Cheers. - Cheers!

Isn't this your mom?

If you pick up, you're dead.

This just means that she's gotten word of me getting punishment points.

Whatever.

The caller you have dialed is unavailable at this time...

You little... if you can't study, at least stay out of trouble.

You got all these punishment points and now you're not even picking up?

Does she pick up your calls?

Move that aside.

Okay.

I'm hungry.

How long has it been since I've eaten with you?

Don't eat.

Why?

You're scared that I'll ask you to pay for my share?

You're so stingy!

Why do you have to eat twice?

I thought you ate already.

You little...

I'm going to fire you!

What kind of man is such a blabbermouth?

I don't want to see you eating alone.

What kind of woman is so transparent?

You have no confidence.

Look here.

I'm quite something, all right?

I've been around the block, all right?

It's just that I don't want to show that side of myself to you.

Why, do I seem lonely?

What are you staring at?

Is it your first time seeing someone eat?

My daughter has to meet a man like you, too.

If I meet him, he's dead.

All he has to do is put in a word to resolve the misunderstanding.

If I catch him, he's dead.

What exactly are you going to do about it?

He's doing this on purpose!

Who would have reported that as a kiss?

Yeah, really.

Who could it be?

[Da Mi] Yeon Doo, our room is being emptied!

Damn it...

Yeon Doo...

[Delete this message?]

Get out! Now!

Please!

You can't!

Why are you taking this out? Why?

The school told us to! Get out of the way!

- No! - Please...

- No, not this! - Please, no!

Get out of the way, already!

Please!

I don't want anything else.

Please, just take good care of this space.

We were treated like trash by the school but we were so happy here.

Upperclassmen... don't worry.

I'll protect Real King for sure.

[Real King]

You can't! No!

You can't! You don't know what this place means to us!

Please, no!

Get out of the way, already, student!

What are you doing?

I won't cause any more trouble.

We'll keep quiet, so...

couldn't you let us go, just this once?

We can't live without this. We can't breathe without it.

Are you saying that this school asphyxiates you?

Well, that could be the case. To kids like you.

Then transfer out.

Another school could suit you so much better, anyway.

I'm sorry, Yeon Doo.

I don't want to live as a bottom feeder in this school anymore.

Yeah... we'll be Third Years soon.

We have to aspire toward college, like everyone else.

If only they didn't contact our parents...

Ugh... whatever!

Let's just give it up.

Real King is gone now.

Yeon Doo. Are you okay?

Of course! I'm totally fine!

Good thinking, really.

Let's study our butts off now like everyone else.

He did it again?

I didn't do well on the last exam.

It's okay, man.

He wouldn't beat up his own son to death.

If you don't end up dying...

that makes everything okay?

Screw you, Kim Yeol.

Screw you, snitch.

Screw you, Sevit High School!

Screw you, this world!

Was it that unfair to you?

It was very unfair.

It was so unfair that it's driving me crazy.

It's so upsetting, seriously.

If it's that unfair, write it up on a poster.

How did you possibly come up with this idea?

- Hey, not anybody... - can come up with this idea.

- Not a high schooler. - Exactly.

How could I come up with this idea when I'm only a high schooler?

Gosh, Soo Ah.

What are you doing?

Well, I can't just give up.

I will try as much as I can.

You should.

But I'm worried. Will a single act by you work?

Why don't you ask Kim Yeol to do it with you?

He also got some points taken off unfairly.

No way.

What if he gets in trouble too?

Frankly, I have nothing to lose.

But he is one of the good students.

The second place will be happy.

If Kim Yeol gets in trouble and gets points taken off...

What nonsense is that? Soo Ah is second place.

Who is Soo Ah?

Oh my gosh, this is Soo Ah.

She and I share the room. She's my roommate.

He's unsociable like this. Please understand.

It happens.

Is there anything I can do to help?

That's right. I need to practice with you for the music class.

Hurry to finish up. I will wait.

- It will take long. Will you be okay? - No problem.

- Cheer up, Kang Yeon Doo. - I will.

Kim Yeol.

He's such a genius.

No matter what you do, you won't be able to beat him.

You have to find another way to win.

You can create some glitches on his report card.

These are the ones you should be close to.

His father owns Seo Woo Group.

Her father runs HanJung Law Firm.

His uncle is the District Attorney.

His father owns Danjung Hospital.

They are all bound to go to Ivy league schools.

If you want to go, you know you lack one thing.

What one thing are you saying I lack again?

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

[Nerd]

Impact.

Doesn't it sound too good?

You lack something that will attract the admission committee.

I'm working on it now.

You should.

Considering how much you are getting paid.

By the way...

Keep your distance from a student named Kang Yeon Doo.

She has nothing to offer.

She doesn't get good grades nor is from a good family.

- She's not smart, either. - I'm sure.

Not everybody can come in 196th place.

She will do anything even for a lollipop.

She will come in handy when I need her.

[Looking for ones with consciousness]

You're supposed to come early and post such a thing.

How can you be so open about this?

I'm just not a morning person.

You should highlight the important messages here and all...

- From a distance... - Where should I highlight?

Guys, hurry up to get to the classrooms.

- Kang Yeon Doo, take it down now! - Hey!

What are you all doing there?

Hurry up to the classrooms.

Hurry up!

You stop right there.

Get to the classrooms now!

- Go now! - What class are you in?

What class are you in?

Hurry!

I'm looking for ones with consciousness.

My fellow students, is your consciousness safe?

Teachers who look the other way knowing Real King...

Now that we're gone, you feel better?

Are you all happy after you discriminate?

If so, make some noise now.

Consciousness! Where are you now?

Come back. I want to live happily.

- Hurry! - Bell rang. Get back.

Get to the classroom.

It's unfair that our club was shut down.

Return our club room!

My fellow students, this is the truth about our Sevit High School.

Hey, come take a look at this.

You're persistent.

I will see how far you can go.

Sure.

Will you go back to your classroom? Now!

Go back to your classroom.

You said you'd watch me.

I'm encouraged that you're watching me.

- Go back to your classroom. - Kang Yeon Doo.

I read your poster.

I'm from the Education Office.

Mr. Joo, this is not what you think...

You're become a star on social media sites.

A photo of your poster was sent to our office too.

I'm assuming that there isn't much movement of clubs at Sevit High School.

As you already know, our newly appointed superintendent worries

about the schools that focus on grades only.

- Real King will come back? - Yes.

Along with the poster and one man protest

justice is finally prevailing despite the pressure.

Who knows? School might give us some funding.

Stop the nonsense.

I will collect it now and return it this afternoon.

- Stop complaining so much. - Gosh.

There was a recent unfortunate incident.

For that reason, it's a temporary measure to set things right.

We already got your parents' permission.

I hope you won't resent this too much.

Gosh, I need my phone.

Let's start our interesting class shortly.

They are minors.

They were involved in inappropriate behavior in an empty club room.

Should we let it go?

If it leads to a serious outcome, who is going to be responsible for their future?

I'm not shutting down all club activities.

I just shut down an inappropriate club.

If something happens, I will personally meet with the superintendent.

Actually, our chairman went to school with him.

He wanted to see him to catch up.

With this incident, we will focus more on educating students.

- What are you doing? - What are you doing?

Can you possibly eat now?

Don't you know we're grounded for two weeks?

There is a notice in the hallway.

Because of this lunatic we're not allowed to go out for two weeks.

From our cell phones they took they will find the reported photo.

They will take points off from us, too.

Can we go out?

I scheduled all these private tutoring sessions for the exam.

You, how will you be responsible for this?

Do you know how much this private tutoring costs, huh?

Hey! How will you be responsible for this, you lunatic?

If you don't do well, you should just lay low.

- Why did you have to act up? - Hey.

- Why? - That's enough.

What?

Well, this lunatic...

Let's eat. It's getting cold.

Why did you ban all of the students from going out?

It's for trying to focus on education.

No, that's not it.

You are doing this to outcast me.

- Then I will keep my mouth shut. - Enough.

You acting this way alone won't change much.

It's how the world works.

I don't care. Please tell me who reported the kiss.

Everything started from there.

If the club hadn't been shut down, I wouldn't have done it.

I said enough. Go back to your class.

[I report inappropriate behavior between Kim Yeol and Kang Yeon Doo.]

[Kwon Soo Ah]

Hey, what's up?

Why did you do it?

Do what? What do you mean?

I saw everything.

I don't understand.

What do you mean? I don't know what you're saying.

On one of the cell phones... I saw the photo you reported.

You saw it?

You ended up seeing it, huh?

Now let's start from the first verse.

Kim Na Young. Han Jae Young.

Kwon Soo Ah, come to the front.

I don't understand why you did that.

Are you the Kwon Soo Ah I know?

Are you my friend?

Your friend?

Do friends exist in this school?

Are you naive or stupid?

Good harmony. Good job.

Next, Kang Yeon Doo.

Come out.

It's a team project. Why are you alone?

You should do it even if you're alone.

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

from glen to glen, and down the mountain side.

The summer’s gone, and all the roses dying.

‘Tis you, ’tis you must go and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer’s in the valley

And all the valley’s hushed and white with snow.

And I'll be... here...

Gosh.

Kwon Soo Ah, you think you can fool other people?

You think we all will be played by you, huh?

Don't delude yourself.

I wasn't fooled by you because I didn't know.

I felt sorry for you that I decided to go along.

Did you like it? Your life got easier after using your friend?

- Kang Yeon Doo. - And you, Kim Yeol.

Did we kiss or not?

I asked if we did. Why can't you say we didn't?

Do you love it that others think we kissed?

Is that it?

Since everybody thinks so, why not do it for real?

Come on. Let's do it.

French kiss or deep kiss. Do whatever. Come on.

You guys.

- Happy? - What are you doing?

Did I ban you from going out?

Did I stop you from getting private tutoring?

It was the principal.

Why take it out on me, huh?

Kang Yeon Doo, what are you doing?

All the rest of you are the same.

When a friend is in need, you should go help.

Do you stand back and watch, you heartless morons?

You're so obsessed with grades that you would walk all over your friends.

Later on in life, you'll end up in a wheelchair since you were taking bribes

and you'll end up fleeing the country, you morons!

- Nice. - Kang Yeon Doo, that's enough!

I was going to stop.

I am sorry.

Kang Yeon Doo.

Are you that different from us?

You're right.

This whole thing enlightened me.

Because of that pathetic point...

you all became competitors rather than friends.

I was so self-conscious about my grade that I was laying low at this school.

I am no different from you all.

That's why...

I'm quitting this pathetic school.

That will make me different from you a little.

Kang Yeon Doo, where are you going when class isn't over?

Aren't you going to answer me? You will get points taken off.

Kang Yeon Doo!

You will be in big trouble.

I felt good.

And I did some thinking.

Why did I do that?

I've gone too far.

- What are you doing? - This milk has gone bad.

- It was an accident? - No, I meant to do that.

What?

Second place, Kwon Soo Ah.

From now on, I will remember you.

I heard you'd gone to the Education Office.

I heard you got a note because of the clubs.

Well, when you work with students...

you get to see a lot of things.

It can't even be a dinner table topic now.

You don't say?

As long as there is no problem with Soo Ah's application

it should be all good.

These days, parents know what to do so well.

The fridge in your office seems so old that I sent a new one.

[Sevit High School Dormitory Individual Learning Extended Plan]

Are you sure the ban was lifted?

I didn't hear that.

Salty.

Salty?

It tastes just fine. You're being picky.

Something's wrong, isn't it?

That's why you came home when you weren't allowed.

Did you get yourself in trouble again?

It's salty. How many times do I have to say it's salty?

Kang Yeon Doo.

It's so frustrating.

- I won't make it salty next time. - It's salty.

Is this worth crying your eyes out?

[New Light High] [Real King] [Breathing room]

[I'm not happy]

[I want to be happy]

[It's okay. It will work out] [Believe in myself]

[You can do it] [Believe in ourselves]

Where did it go wrong?

That's how I felt at that time.

I don't give up what I like.

If I don't give up...

it will never end.

What is it? You left without permission too?

I have bad news and worse news.

Which one do you want to hear first?

Bad news.

You got many points taken off for leaving.

What's worse news?
