CHALLENGE FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM

FIERCE COMPETITION

2017 NATIONAL AMATEUR TEAM SELECTION

Hear me, I’m calling

Oh, my sisters

Where is the path

We can walk down together?

Where can we meet

And greet one another?

Hear me, I’m calling

Oh, my brothers

-Jin-tae. -Yes.

I love that you play the piano so well,

but your cell phone is the devil during mass.

It’s the devil in the cathedral.

-You know? -Yes.

As long as you keep away from the phone during mass, you’re sure to go to heaven.

Okay.

-Don’t you want to go to heaven? -Yes.

-Or to hell? -Yes.

Oh Jin-tae, are you not going to wait for your mom?

-Do you want to eat ramyeon at home? -Yes!

-You love it that much? -Yes!

Get me a towel!

Hold still! Don’t move!

Towel!

Don’t move!

Here!

Stay still.

It was sparring, not a dog fight, you bastard.

He has less than a month until the Olympic selection. What are you going to do?

You goddamn idiot.

Jo-ha.

Don’t come here anymore.

It’s over for you.

To the ER?

Like hell, you dumbass!

A vitamin drink will do. He’s not dead!

And make sure not to let Jo-ha come in here. Got it?

Yes, sir.

God damn it!

In-sook.

Ms. Hong, is it your day off today?

Can’t you see? Full makeup. I don’t have days off.

Is that so?

You work at night too?

I got to make money when I can. So no days off for me too.

My baby’s a senior now.

Su-jung’s a high school senior already?

I love Jin-tae’s piano,

but can he keep it down this year?

Can you hear the sound? But we spent a lot to soundproof his room.

Putting egg cartons on the wall won’t do.

I told you, that’s not soundproofing.

Her room’s just under his piano.

You got plenty of rooms. Why does she study in that room?

In-sook.

Don't forget that I’m the landlord here.

Come on, Ms. Hong. Are you seriously taking it out on me?

That’s harsh.

Your lease’s up in three months, right?

I’m raising the rent after that, okay?

Come on, Ms. Hong. Don't do this to me.

You’ll go to hell for this.

For extra ten million won, I won’t mind.

I'm giving you three months, so be prepared.

Where do I get that much money?

Then move out.

That’s no pocket change! How am I supposed to come up with it?

That’s one shrew bitch.

How come that booze-selling dumb bitch owns this place? How dare she!

Jesus!

Su-jung, you heard everything?

She sells booze, so you’re not entirely wrong.

But she’s not dumb.

At least she went to college, aviation major.

Good night, then.

Su-jung, sweetheart. I didn't really mean what I said. I just--

Jin-tae, slow down!

No! No! No more goals!

Come on! Jin-tae!

This game sucks.

-Having fun? -Yes.

-Jin-tae? -Yes?

Did you just stare at my legs?

-No peeking. -Yes.

By the way, have you ever had a girlfriend?

-Never, right? -No.

Not even once?

I mean, not even a crush or a girl you were madly in love with?

There is, right? There is!

You can tell me.

Who is it?

Come on. I told you, I’m so out of your league!

How many times did I tell you?

You want to marry me later?

Yes.

But you see, I heard entertainment agencies don’t let talents get married.

Yes.

-Can’t date either. -Yes.

Yes, Yes, I’m leaving.

-Hey, Jin-tae. -Yes.

Isn’t my waistline awesome?

-Not yours, mine! -My waistline.

If you want to marry me, how could you beat me 11-1?

-You have no mercy! -Yes.

-I am soon to be famous! -Yes.

Goodbye.

MOTORCYCLE REPAIR

Hey.

Good evening, could you clean this table?

It’s the motorcycle guy. I’ll clean it up quickly.

This is my regular spot.

Hey, where are you going? Hey!

That punk.

JEIL DINER

Jo-ha…

You are Kim Jo-ha, right?

It really is you.

It’s already been ten years

since you finished your military service.

How have you been?

Have you been well?

Damn it…

What is it?

It’s okay.

I listen to it when I’m happy too.

You’re crying.

I yawned.

Let’s eat.

Yes, you’re a good son.

I’m hungry.

-Jin-tae? -Yes.

-Do we still have side dishes left? -Yes.

-No soup, though. -I cooked ramyeon.

-Ramyeon again? -Yes.

-You’re a good son. -Yes.

Let’s eat before it gets soggy.

Yes.

Doctor!

He’s awake!

Sir!

Where am I?

Mr. Kim Jo-ha.

Please help yourself

You are a habitual offender, aren't you?

How much have you made pulling scams?

Whenever the police chief visits me, he still weeds my lawn out of respect.

We’re an important family.

We had you treated and are even feeding you instead of locking you up.

So be grateful.

Are you feeling okay?

Kindness is like money, so don’t waste it carelessly.

-If you suffer any-- -He jumped intentionally.

Did I ask for money?

Hey.

What did you just say?

I’m not what you think I am. I’m a goddamn boxer.

I'm not asking for money, so relax.

Damn it.

Where’s the way out?

Dong-su, look.

Oh, hey.

May I help you, Ms. Ju?

Do you know where Jo-ha is?

Jo-ha?

That idiot. Why did he…

What did he tell you?

Not much.

He's just worried about you.

Do you have a place to stay?

What’s it to you?

I just want to know how you’re doing.

Why do you want to know?

Do I look like a bum without a place to go?

Come in, this way.

-Jin-tae. -Yes.

I told you about him. This is your brother, Jo-ha. Say hi.

Yes.

-Say hello. -Hello!

-I am Oh Jin-tae. -I am Oh Jin-tae!

He’s your brother.

I don’t have a brother.

Sit down, I’ll fix you dinner.

He’s level-two autism, but he’s so gentle and kind.

People who don't know him are surprised to know that he’s autistic.

He may seem weird, but he’ll never hurt a soul.

Where do I stay?

What? Right, you can use Jin-tae’s room.

He can sleep with me.

He’s been so excited to finally get a brother for a few days now.

He even insisted that you use his room.

Want some more rice?

Should I pay rent?

Hey, don’t say that.

Just feel at home, that’s all.

Do you think you’ll feel uncomfortable here?

What’s uncomfortable about it?

Free bed and free food.

Right? It's not like we're strangers…

Give me some more.

What the hell?

Why are you here?

Be quiet, asshole!

Quiet, quiet, quiet!

Damn it!

What’s going on?

He must’ve sleepwalked here.

Jin-tae, wake up!

Why are you sleeping like that?

What's with his butt?

Jin-tae, wake up!

Jin-tae, let’s go to my room. Get up at once!

Are you interested in sparring with Lee Tae-gu, the MMA fighter?

-MMA? -Yes.

His specialty is ground fighting. He has nice punches too.

He wants a sparring partner who fights for real.

How much?

With headgear, 150,000 won.

Forget it, I’m a boxer, I got my pride.

Come on!

With your background, you can get 200,000!

No headgear, and he’s free to do everything.

Wait. You’ll be crushed then.

You skinny shit.

-So 200,000? And 3 rounds? -Yes!

I’m doing you a favor.

Okay?

Whatever. Bring them on, MMA or whatever.

Good afternoon, sir!

This is Kim Jo-ha. The one I told you.

He was a welterweight Asian champion, WBC.

He can cover middle to welterweight.

Good, that’s fresh.

How is he?

He’s got speed.

He looks a bit old though.

How old?

I’m 38.

I'm 40, actually.

He’s going through a rough patch lately,

but he's maintained his body well!

He has this quote. What was that? You always say it.

"Impossible is not a fact, it’s an opinion."

Muhammad Ali.

Do your best.

The coach has huge influence.

You could be a made man.

What’s with this?

-Lee Tae-gu, get him! -Get him!

One step at a time!

-Go slow! -Very good!

-Awesome! -Good!

-Okay! -Nice!

That was good!

-You're doing well! -Let's go!

You’re doing well!

-Go! -Go!

Wake up.

Hey, wake up!

No!

-Who’s he? -My brother.

-You got a brother? -Yes.

Rapid kick!

What the hell?

Darn it.

You suck at it.

This isn’t easy. And Jin-tae’s too good.

You don’t know anything.

You suck at it.

-Kiddo. -Yes?

-Are you his groupie or something? -No, I’m not.

-Then what? -Byun Su-jung!

Byun what??

I told you to only say my first name.

Su-jung.

I’m the landlord’s daughter.

Don’t laugh. Okay?

Okay.

Yes.

Yes, Yes, is that all you can say?

Yes.

Shit, keep going.

Kick!

Good!

Rapid kick!

Kick!

Go!

Sir, want me to teach you a few combos?

Learn a few, and you’ll do well.

You know boxing?

That’s why I win.

You know?

This is boxing, god damn it!

That thing is so fake!

Do you know what happens if you get a kick in the head?

You faint!

Those idiots don’t die even after a hundred hits! Today, I--

-You in high school? -Yes.

Shouldn’t you be studying? Why are you playing freaking games?

Joy Chicken.

Joy Chicken.

Joy Chicken.

Kim Jo-ha.

Joy Chicken.

Mr. Kim Jo-ha!

How are you feeling?

Just dandy.

I was driving that day.

I never got to apologize.

I wanted to meet you and apologize in person.

-How much? -What?

You came here because of your conscience.

You accused me of being a scammer.

Then you tossed me out.

Let’s not meet again.

The poor people aren’t your playthings.

How much do you want?

I want a million… No, two million won.

Fine.

-Excuse me? -Yes?

Are you okay?

I’m so sorry.

I apologize. Are you okay, ma’am?

I’m sorry.

I'm so sorry…

She’ll bring it soon.

-That’s pretty cool. -What is?

I didn't notice it. You walk with no problem.

Want to see?

I’ve seen enough.

-You got grit. -Pardon?

You got grit.

I’ve never heard that phrase before.

We boxers live and die by grit, but not you.

What do you mean by that?

You're rich. And you meet the police chief and all.

They got even more grit.

You mean "luck." They got no grit.

I felt like driving that night.

You know,

nothing went my way, and you feel like crap. I wouldn't mind dying while driving.

For the first time since the accident,

I wanted to drive, even though it was raining.

I didn’t have a destination. I just hit the gas.

Like a biker gang.

Maybe I was thinking of Thelma & Louise's ending.

The way they flew in the sky…

But reality was different.

You were the one who flew.

Like this, up in the air.

I thought you died instead of me.

I was a victim of a hit-and-run by a drunk driver. He didn't stop at the first hit.

For good measure, he ran over my leg over one more time.

As a result, it had to be amputated.

It's two million.

Is it enough?

"IMPOSSIBLE IS NOT A FACT, IT’S AN OPINION." -MUHAMMAD ALI

Why don’t you send Jin-tae here? The prize is five million. Take a look.

Pianist Moon Sung-ki,

the principal of Fryderyk, Korea’s top piano school.

He’s heading this.

Jin-tae’s favorite pianist Han Ga-yul who placed second at Chopin Competition.

Moon taught her!

If he decides to teach Jin-tae, his life will completely change!

Look at him. He’s a savant. A musical genius.

Does he still have tantrums?

Of course not! He’s like sheep.

He’s become like an angel since he started the piano.

He’s so adorable when he plays the piano.

You can’t keep him forever. Take a look!

I have to. He’s my baby.

Lately, I get the signal whenever I eat something.

Take care of yourself.

Medical checkups came out fine. I just don’t understand.

I bet it’s hypersensi-something.

And you’re okay?

All I got are my health and my son.

What about your check-up?

They want me to come to see the results, but what’s the point?

I’m born healthy.

I envy you!

-Is it good enough? -Yes.

Could you take him to the welfare center tomorrow if you're not too busy?

I have to go somewhere, and there's no one I can ask except for you.

It’s not far, and you just need to watch him.

Sure.

You hear that?

Want some more beef or noodles?

Beef.

And Jin-tae?

Jin-tae!

-What is it? -He peed himself!

Why’s he pissing himself at the table? Damn it.

-Eat more. -No, I’m done.

He can’t even clean himself?

No way.

You just have to get him started.

He should be in the hospital…

Jin-tae, are you scared of him?

Yes.

But you're still happy to have a brother, right?

Yes.

Ms. Ju In-sook!

-Yes? -This way, please.

So how are you doing? How is it living with your mom?

It’s temporary. I’ll leave once I get my own place.

Why should I stay there?

Listen, free accommodation is hard to come by these days.

Just think that you hit the jackpot. So behave yourself there.

Why should I?

Crooked bastard.

Why should I be good to that woman?

She’s still your mother, so be respectful.

Don’t you know?

She left me when I was a kid to start a new home,

and my dad was always in jail.

Then I briefly ran into her on the street when I got out of the military.

I grew up like an orphan.

She’s not my mom. She's just a stranger.

Grow up, will you? You think it was easy for her?

You told me over and over again!

That your dad always came home drunk and smashed shit up!

You said she left because of all the beatings!

What about me then?

How old was I then? Damn it, I was barely in middle school!

Back then, I was… God damn it, do I need to tell you every little detail?

You’re getting worked up?

If you are, I'll just go home now. I got a cute girl waiting at home.

Have a good night by yourself.

You’re home?

-Did you drink? -Yes.

Why’re you sleeping there?

I fell asleep while waiting for you.

Want some coffee?

Right, it’s too late for that.

I’m going to leave when I get some money.

And don’t try so hard to be so nice to me.

It’s so uncomfortable.

That’s not my intention.

I don’t want to torment you or put you on a guilt trip.

So let me just stay in peace and leave when it's time.

Do you still hate me?

No, let's not talk about that. Let’s just stay in peace.

Sure, I want you to be comfortable too.

Where’s the welfare center?

It’s quite close. It's near Junggye station.

It's not hard to find. Only a few stops by bus.

Hey!

Get over here!

Toilet.

Toilet.

-What? -Toilet.

Damn it…

Where do we go? Is it pee or poop?

Poop!

You stupid bastard!

We got to find the restroom. Where are you going?

Damn it.

Hey, make it quick.

Poop faster!

What are you doing there?

Sir!

Where’s building 301?

I finished pooping!

-Damn it! -What?

-He pooped. -I finished pooping.

If it was that urgent, they could’ve gone to a mall

or asked to use the bathroom at the security booth.

How could he poop in the apartment complex in broad daylight?

He’ll get a misdemeanor fine.

Fine is not good enough.

I can look past the drunk vomiters and pissers,

but now a shitter too!

Who’s going to clean that up? Toss him in jail.

-Guardian? -Yes?

This is misdemeanor for public defecation.

It’s a 100,000 fine, but I reduced it to 50,000. Please go pay it.

What? 50,000?

That’s hardly enough!

What the hell did he do wrong?

He had to go but couldn’t find a toilet anywhere!

Should he have shit himself?

Sir, you’ll have to go clean up his poop too.

Why the hell did you have to shit there?

Why did you both not answer your phones?

My phone's dead.

The welfare center called. You never showed up.

Don't get me started. It was like hell…

Where have you been?

-Police station! -What?

Police station.

What's he talking about?

It’s nothing really, but this idiot--

Can't you act like an adult?

And if you couldn’t handle him, you should've called me!

I've been so worried sick all day!

Did you not think I might be worried?

I knew you were worthless, but how could you end up at the station with him?

“Worthless”?

Yes, am I wrong?

Just how messed up are you?

Jin-tae, why did you go to the police station?

I pooped at an apartment complex.

You bitch!

Die!

You think you can run away?

Where’s my knife?

Where’s my knife?

Break it up!

Is he fucking nuts?

What did you say?

-You little shit! -Stop!

-You shit! -Stop!

-That’s enough! Stop! -Stop!

-Stop! -Shit.

Stop!

Don’t!

-What are you doing? Don’t do that! -Let go!

Let go of me! Let go!

Let go!

-That idiot… -Good evening!

-You slept here again? -Yes.

Hey, hey!

Just sleep here, come.

Turn that light off…

That idiot…

-Are you going to wear it to sleep? -Yes.

Are you Iron Man? Why wear it all the time?

It hurts.

Where does it hurt?

It hurts when I’m hit.

Are you wearing it because of me?

Yes.

I won't hit you, so take it off. It’s stuffy.

Yes.

I told you, I won’t hit you. Take that off.

Sleep.

Yes.

-Hey. -Yes.

Aren’t you hungry?

-Yes. -Want some ramyeon?

-Yes. -Got some?

Yes.

BLACK BEAN NOODLE

We only have black bean noodles?

Yes.

-Can you cook this? -I’m a chef!

Buddy.

Cook quietly, or you'll wake up your mom.

Mom’s not here.

-She didn't come home yet? -No.

-When did you start the piano? -When I was ten.

-Do you like playing it? -Yes, I like piano.

A man should be boxing or driving and stuff.

-Pianos are for chicks. -I’m a good driver.

-You? -Yes.

-With that? Games? -Yes.

Of course, you’re good at everything in games.

Yes.

It’s hot. Turn on the air conditioner.

Come on, give it.

It’s busted.

Why didn’t you say so?

My car is good.

-Switch cars. -Yes.

-Hey, switch joysticks. -Yes.

Damn it!

Why the hell didn’t you fix the air conditioner?

Let’s sleep. It's no fun.

-Turn the lights off! -Yes.

Hey. Remember In-chul?

-In Canada? -Yes.

Of course I do. He's so funny.

He used to be a boxer then moved to Canada to teach Taekwondo.

His life's so interesting.

When he visited Korea last time, he asked me to work with him.

What? You want to go there?

I’m just thinking about it.

How much do I need to live there?

Are you going one-way?

On an airplane.

You idiot!

-As opposed to round trips! -Right, right.

-One-way, asshole! -I know, so what?

The plane ticket, transportation, and even food.

I doubt that frugal bastard will pay you much.

You're going abroad. You'll probably need at least five million.

Five million?

-I made you dinner. -I’ll take care of it.

Where did that idiot go?

He went shopping with Su-jung.

She is his groupie.

Listen, Jo-ha.

I have a favor to ask.

This is a piano competition.

I’m thinking about having him enter it.

They got competitions for that?

But

Jin-tae never had a formal training.

He just listened and started playing.

So he can’t even read sheet music, and his phone is his teacher.

He listens once and he can play.

It’s so amazing.

That’s what he does all day. Of course he can.

Is that so?

Now that he’s an adult,

he has to look after himself.

So what do you want from me?

It's called concours. I wish I could take him there myself,

but I got some work in Busan.

Busan?

Yes.

My diner is opening a branch there, and they need my help.

They practically begged.

They’re even paying double. They need me for a month.

-A month? -Yes.

With this money, could you look after Jin-tae for a month?

And if he wins the competition, you can have half of the prize.

How much is that?

The prize money's 5 million, so 2.5 million.

That’s not much. It's just a million.

For the competition entrance fee and bus fare.

I’ll make enough dishes for you to last a month before I go.

Okay, I'll do it.

Do you mean it? My goodness.

-You're such-- -All right, all right.

Why’s he so late?

Go to work. I’ll look for him later.

All right.

Thanks.

-You are a slut. -Stop it.

-A dirty slut. -Stop it.

-Look at this bitch. -Let me go!

Buddy!

I’m so sorry! Sorry!

If you can punch my face even once in 3 minutes, you get 10,000 won.

Who are you?

Me?

I live with him.

My brother! Jo-ha!

Former WBC welterweight Asian champion.

I smell bullshit.

If you fail to punch me, you all pay 10,000 each.

Here’s mine.

Put your money there, brats.

I meant a punch, not a kick, asshole!

-Damn it! -Hey.

-Move aside. -He's good.

Bam! Counterpunch!

No one has ever stood up to this.

-Is the time up? -Three minutes and 11 seconds,

Twelve seconds.

Gentlemen, pay 10,000 each, please.

Hey, Jo-ha.

You were so cool back there.

Shut it.

Mom.

Hello, Ms. Hong.

Why are you out here at this hour? Go study!

Please go.

-Who is he? -My brother, Jo-ha.

-You had a brother? -Yes.

I didn’t know.

Just go!

Please stay quietly. I’m sensitive to noise.

Leave!

You wench. Don’t bark at your mom.

Go home and study!

Goodbye!

Don’t mind her.

A single mom who runs a bar has to be charismatic.

She runs a host bar.

Let’s go.

Sure.

When I say start, you try it.

When I say start--

I didn’t say start, you idiot.

That was a jab.

Okay, let’s go again.

You bastard.

Give me 10,000.

It’s so nice to dine out. I don’t have to do anything.

When’s your train tomorrow?

I can leave after breakfast.

Where in Busan?

It’s near Haeundae Beach.

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

I’ll take a photo.

Should we take one too?

That’s embarrassing!

No, we have no photos of us together. I want to have one.

Don’t do that.

Excuse me?

Yes?

Could you take a photo of us too?

Well, it’s only for guests who are celebrating birthday.

Are you celebrating one?

I’ll pay you.

It’s not a paid service. Our policy doesn't--

My birthday, mine!

Pardon?

It’s my birthday today.

I see. Could I check your ID then?

All right.

Right away, sir.

-Nu-ri? Nu-ri! -Yes?

Photo service.

-Sir, happy birthday. -Excuse me.

Closer together.

Closer, please.

One, two, three, say cheese!

Jin-tae gets sleepy early.

You brat, you’re killing your brother!

It’s okay. We’re almost home now.

Jin-tae, wake up!

Thank you, Jo-ha. Just lay him down and come out.

Mom.

He wasn't asleep. That bastard. He faked it…

Jo-ha.

Do you drink wine?

Wine? I can’t get enough.

-That looks ancient. -It's a bit old.

I had it fixed a few times. It's not working again.

Why don’t you get a new one?

No way, it still works.

That did it.

Banging always works.

Is that so?

Listening to music and drinking wine like this,

I feel like we’re at a restaurant.

You mean a wine bar.

I hurt your feelings the other day, didn't I?

It's all right. I already forgot about it.

Did you resent me a lot?

I wasn’t pissed!

Even if you resented and hated me, I have nothing to say.

I don’t deserve to be a mother.

I’m just grateful to you.

Jo-ha.

Take good care of Jin-tae for me.

He’ll take care of himself.

You know, even complete strangers grow on each other

and become a family when they eat and live together.

Jin-tae’s a good kid, so he'll grow on you.

Don’t say it like you’ll be gone for a few years.

-Even so. -I heard you.

Shall we clink?

You must feel good today.

How about

dancing together? Let’s shake it.

What’s with you today?

-Let’s dance. -Please don’t.

Eat some munchies and dance.

-Let’s shake it. -Just stop it!

-What’s gotten into you? -Come on, dance.

Jesus!

You’re so good!

-Goodness. -Wow.

My goodness. Jo-ha!

Wow!

You’re amazing!

I can’t dance to this music.

-Do it again! -One more time?

Oh, man…

Yes, like that. Gosh, you’re so good.

Of course.

Wow!

It’s been too long.

Clink!

Jin-tae, look at me!

Bye.

JO-HA’S ROOM

JO-HA’S ROOM

Buddy!

-Yes. -What’ll you do today?

Play piano.

-All day long? -Play games too.

-No job? -No.

-No workout? -No.

Then you eat, sleep, and play games every day?

And play piano.

Men should make money and work out too.

Yes.

Let’s go work out.

Look at that idiot.

-Buddy! -Yes!

-Let them toss it and move on to others! -Yes!

Hand them out as fast as possible!

-Think of this as a workout! -Yes!

-Got it? -Yes!

I’ll take this side, and you stay here.

-Yes! -Got it?

-Do it right. -Yes!

Whatever.

Coffee Coffee!

ENJOY MUSIC IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY!

Your piano earned a lot.

I want another!

Have it.

Zinger Burger combo is 5,900 won.

-Go buy it. -Thank you!

HAN GA-YUL

-Are you sure you can win the competition? -Yes.

-First place? -Yes.

You know Han Ga-yul?

Yes.

-Have you ever met her? -Han Ga-yul is pretty.

HAN GA-YUL PLACES 2ND AT TOP CHOPIN COMPETITION

KIM JO-HA

WBC ASIAN CHAMPION KIM JO-HA ASSAULTS REFEREE DURING MATCH

Mr. Kim Jo-ha.

Where do you think you are?

This is breach of your contract. Did you not read it?

I’m here to meet Han Ga-yul.

If the chairman finds out, you’ll be thrown in jail.

Jail?

Han Ga-yul!

Han Ga-yul!

-Han Ga-yul is pretty! -Mr. Kim!

-Han Ga-yul! -Mr. Kim!

Why did you want to see me?

Ma’am, I’ll take care of it.

Do you need more money?

Listen to him play the piano.

He wants to enter a piano competition.

I want you to see if he’s good enough and has what it takes.

You’re quite famous in the piano world.

Mr. Kim, if you keep being rude, you’ll be in trouble.

Will you stay out of this, woman?

He watches you play on his phone every day,

and plays it all, shopping or Chopin.

-Buddy. -Yes.

Say something. The real Han Ga-yul is here.

Han Ga-yul is pretty.

Ma'am, the chairman will be home soon.

Who is he?

-My brother. -Jo-ha’s brother.

Please leave.

I don’t play the piano anymore.

There’s a piano right here. Is it so hard to watch him play?

-I’m sorry. -God damn it.

Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1. Han Ga-yul is the best.

Han Ga-yul is the soul of Chopin and Mozart!

Keep going.

-Han Ga-yul is pretty. -Not that, idiot!

Please leave.

-Let’s go. -Yes.

Come on.

What are you doing?

Isn’t that a really famous piece?

Have a safe drive back!

Back up.

Jo-ha, who was that?

Someone I know.

Next up is number 36, Oh Jin-tae.

Jin-tae.

Damn it…

Jeez, what’s he doing?

Mr. Moon hates wasting time…

Jin-tae’s amazing!

Everyone here including the staff says he did the best.

He got the most applause too.

When you come back, you'll see it. Oh Jin-tae, a piano champion.

What?

That’s his name. What else should I call him?

When did I call him an idiot?

Anyway, as soon as the result is out, I’ll let you know.

When will you be back?

It'll be a month next week.

Is the work hard? You sound terrible.

We eat way too well. Don’t worry, and hurry back.

I told you, we're eating well.

How many times do I need to tell you?

All right. I got to go now.

Now, we’ll announce the winners and the grand prize.

General division, third place!

Moon Yu-lim!

Second place!

Ko Joon-ki!

-Wow, you did it! -That's great!

General division, first place!

Lee Ha-ram!

-Wow! -Lee Ha-ram!

Don’t worry. You’re the grand prize.

And today’s grand prize.

Symbol of tradition and honor, the 26th Fryderyk Piano Competition!

Grand prize!

Oh Jin-tae…

High school division, Kim Gwang-ho!

He didn’t get it?

Congrats!

Thank you for today, Mr. Moon.

Take care, sir.

It’s been a while.

Why did Oh Jin-tae not get it?

You know him?

Well, his Chopin did remind me of you.

Rhythm, tempo, dynamics, expression and accuracy.

Everything was perfect.

But interpretation is crucial.

How to creatively interpret a piece.

You thought he didn’t Interpret it properly?

Or he just doesn't fit the image of your stage?

Because he's sloppy, uncontrollable, and far from stylish?

Because he can’t be a star?

You're holding a grudge against me.

He’s level-two autism and can’t read sheet music.

He plays blind after watching YouTube clips.

He understands the world through 88 keys on the piano.

This is a competition. Everyone competes on equal terms.

Being rich or poor, starting piano at early age, practicing more than others…

It doesn't matter.

What if I told you he has never had a lesson?

And that he was never taught the importance of interpretation.

Prizes can’t be taken back, but it got me thinking.

What did I learn from you since I was six?

Jin-tae, you know,

I’ve been thinking a lot about life lately.

And I think if you meet a good person,

your life will blossom.

I wish I could look after you, but I’ll be so busy once I become a celebrity.

It's not like I can ask my manger to look after you.

So Jin-tae,

don’t just rely on me,

and look for other girls too.

Yes.

Gosh, that was fast.

You answered without even thinking about it.

You got a girlfriend?

Han Ga-yul.

-Who’s that bitch? -Piano.

-She works at the center? -Han Ga-yul is pretty!

-You cheated on me? -Yes!

Go eat with that Han Ga-yul wench then.

Goodbye.

I don’t know.

I got to go.

Hey there.

Is Su-jung inside?

Yes.

How old are you?

Why do you ask?

What do you do?

This and that, and I work out too.

I can tell. You got a tight body.

What is it?

It doesn't seem you have a regular job.

Do you want a job?

At your host bar?

You’re quick.

No, Su-jung must've told him.

I’m not interested.

We’re hiring someone who could be Tarzan.

It pays quite well.

Besides, you’ll have to take care of Jin-tae instead of your mom.

What do you mean? I can barely take care of myself.

In any case, call if you need money.

Tarzan, my foot…

I don’t want it. Come here.

-It's nice to earn money and work out. -Yes.

Hey, why don't we finish it up quickly and go have a match?

I meant a soccer game.

I’ll pick Brazil, and you pick North Korea.

Are you thinking about your mom?

Do you miss her?

You still got a ton.

She'll come home soon. Work hard, and she’ll be back in a few days.

Look at your stupid shirt.

Go that way. I’ll go across the street.

Don’t run off.

Yes.

Wait, your shirt…

Billiard hall.

Billiard hall.

Billiard hall.

The person you have called is unavailable.

He came back without telling me?

Oh Jin-tae! You came back without--

When did you get back?

I forgot to extend the lease.

I got a call this morning and came right up.

I didn’t even have the time to call you.

Are you done with work?

No, I need to work there for a little more.

I have to run back now.

Where’s Jin-tae?

He’s not here?

No, where did he go?

Why? You weren’t with him?

Well, we went out together…

Where?

We went out for a bit.

Jo-ha, where’s Jin-tae?

Let’s split up. You go that way. Whoever finds him first calls.

Why don’t you go home? I’ll look for him. He might go back home.

He never goes anywhere he doesn’t know!

And he always calls me when he leaves and arrives!

Let’s look around until sunset, then we go to the police.

He’ll be okay. Stop overreacting and calm down.

And how could you have him hand out flyers?

And you went off to buy new clothes?

I don't believe this…

My goodness.

Jin-tae!

Jin-tae! Honey!

Have you seen this guy?

No.

Hello.

What are you doing here?

The sound is good.

What's wrong with you?

What the hell is wrong with you?

Do you know him? He's been like this for hours…

You little…

-Let go of him! -I’m sorry!

Don’t you dare hit him!

It's your fault! How dare you try to hit him!

I’m sorry!

-Baby, I’m here. -Yes!

-Let’s go eat ramyeon! -Yes!

You're his older brother. You should look after him.

You should protect him. Why are you trying to hurt him?

Welcome!

-One more soju, please. -Sure thing.

-Sit here. -Ma’am.

Aren’t you In-sook’s son?

Do you know where she works in Busan?

Busan? She’s in Busan?

I see the traffic lights.

Yes, I just came out.

You made a good decision!

Making money is the way to go!

-It won’t be hard. You’ll get used to-- -Stop it.

You know about Mom?

In-sook? Of course, we live under one roof.

-Where is she? -Probably in Busan.

Don’t you lie to me.

What’s with you?

Spill everything you know before I go apeshit.

So you’re not here for the job.

Where’s Mom?

How would I…

Where could she be?

Where is she?

You really don’t know anything?

Damn it…

BED #5 JU IN-SOOK

GATE FOR INMATES

Why are you here?

I’m going abroad and will be gone for a long time.

You came to boast?

About going abroad?

I met Mom.

What's that bitch up to?

Still raising that retard?

Don’t talk like that.

What did you say?

Don’t you regret it?

Regret what?

Beating up Mom and me every day.

Don't be freaking ridiculous.

You think I'll just let her be when I get out of here?

-Father. -What?

I'll disown you. I’m not your son anymore.

Were you ever a son?

Don’t ever come out.

Even by mistake.

Because

I’m going to beat you up as much as you beat Mom and me up

if I ever see you again.

I came to tell you that. I knew I had to.

Are you nuts?

Just die in here!

Don’t ever come near her!

I won’t just sit still!

Focus on classics. Just do that and…

I have to go.

What brings you here? You should’ve called.

Honey tea, please.

You look so much better than our last meeting.

How’s business?

Very good, thanks to you.

Making a fortune?

As much as I work.

-You're having a gala concert, right? -Yes.

-Put a kid in. -Who?

-What’s his name? -It's Oh Jin-tae, ma’am.

Right, Oh Jin-tae. He lost your competition.

Oh, him?

Can you or can you not?

I'm sorry, ma'am, but he's…

How much stake do we have here?

It's 51 percent, ma’am.

Sell them all and donate the money to welfare centers for the handicapped.

Ma’am, I know you’re a rational person.

You've been thinking I'm a rational person for the past 30 years?

If I were rational,

why did I make a worthless hillbilly like you the head of this school?

I saw Ga-yul play piano for the first time after the accident.

I wanted to see her play before I die. And I finally did.

I’ll consider it, ma’am.

TRAVEL AGENCY

Jo-ha?

I’m going to Canada.

For traveling?

Of course not.

To make money.

I see…

Bye.

Jo-ha…

You can hate me.

But please don't hate Jin-tae.

When I die, he’ll have to live at the welfare center.

If only there were someone who could

check in on Jin-tae

once in a while… That's all I've been thinking about.

I'm such a selfish mother…

who doesn’t think about her son's feelings.

Why didn’t you take me then?

I’ve lived alone all my life.

A middle schooler ate alone

and slept at a comic book store whenever his dad came home drunk.

And I was alone when I started training. I was still just a kid back then.

I’m sorry, Jo-ha.

Once I leave for Canada, I’m never coming back.

I'm sorry.

It’s all my fault.

You know what?

I can’t seem to forgive both you or Dad.

Don’t forgive us.

I’m never coming back. This place is so fucked up.

Jo-ha…

If I’m ever born again,

I'll only think about you. I’ll only live with you.

I’ll make it up to you.

I’m sorry.

… and the gala concert is receiving much attention,

that will bring classical music to the masses.

This year, alongside the winners, a special winner will perform.

It is none other than 26-year-old Oh Jin-tae.

“Impossible is not a fact, it’s an opinion.”

Muhammad Ali.

This is something his older brother always said to him.

He’s fighting against all odds and against himself.

THE 26TH FRYDERYK PIANO COMPETITION GALA CONCERT

Ladies and gentlemen, Part Two is about to begin.

-Look at me for cue. -Yes.

Bravo, Jin-tae!

Are you okay?

Okay.

Jo-ha, bring her to the front, I’ll get the car!

My boys are here.

Yes.

You played so well tonight.

Yes.

You were great.

Yes.

Honey, lie down beside me.

Are you still scared of Jo-ha?

Yes.

But you're still happy to have a brother, right?

Yes.

Jin-tae, when you come to heaven later

and are asked to find a person you love the most,

who will you find?

Han Ga-yul.

You love her more than me?

Yes.

You'll still look for me, right?

Yes.

-Listen to Jo-ha well. -Yes.

Don’t just eat ramyeon.

Mom, let’s go home.

Sure, sure, you’re such a good son.

Let’s go home.

Mom…

FUNERAL HOME

Never learned to smoke?

No. Because of the training.

You should start smoking. It suits your image.

Mom, did you see Jin-tae?

-He’s not inside? -No, he's not.

Maybe taking a dump?

Mom, it’s been too long.

Jo-ha, do you know?

-Hey, have you seen him? -No.

-He’s not around? -Where did he go?

I can’t find him.

I'm sure he's around here. Hey, they're all same.
