(Choisun Academy, the 1st class formula)

(Choisun will become the best.)

I think I'll mess up this exam.

You talk like you never messed up.

Where's your conscience?

Hey, Si Woo.

Can I have a word?

(1 person per desk, please.)

My class starts soon.

I know that. It won't take long.

- It wasn't that bad.
- What?

- Are you serious?
- Yes.

Hello.

- Did you know that one?
- We need to cancel exams.

Save me a seat. My usual spot.

Okay.

Sit over there.

Okay...

Your class starts soon, so
I'll keep the point simple.

Did you see this?

Yes. I think everyone did.

Okay. Will you check it out?

This free lecture.

I wasn't thinking of going.

Okay.

But then,

only kids with poor grades
blame their academy...

and check out other places.

That's not exactly the reason.

I study certain subjects
for a certain time.

Okay. I get it.

That's important too. But...

This lecture.

How about you check it out?

And then tell me how it was.

And bring the material.

Why?

I'm curious.

Some other kids will go anyway.

They talked about it at school.

You're the most focused in the class.

And take good notes.

Does the director know?

No. I want to know about the lecture.

You're on our scholarship.

Are your parents pleased?

I'm grateful...

for that.

Do me a favour.

Will you?

Take good notes too.

It's time to go.

(Daechi Chase)

- I'll go ahead.
- Okay, see you.

Ms. Seo.

Buy me a drink after work.

Can't we talk during the daytime tomorrow?

Can't you spare me some time as well?

I'm on your team too.

Okay.

Can I decide where?

Sure.

I'll text you the address.
Be there around 10:30pm.

- That place is open late.
- Okay.

Mr. Lee, you can leave early today.

Hey. Ms. Nam.

One short-answer question
with a high mark...

will decide what grade you get.

Your school grade could become...

the class you receive
when you enter society.

The university you go to.

The job you get afterward.

Even the looks of the woman
you'll meet on a blind date.

That could all depend on...

one short-answer question in this exam.

Don't think that's unfair.

It's better for your mental health
to be relieved there's still...

a way to overturn that class.

(Eunma Apartments Shared Parking)

Hey, why are we eating at a
convenience store like teens?

No, you drink.

Don't you start in the afternoon?

You can drink.

I have an important lecture this weekend.

I have a lot to study.

You're acting like you're a star already.

Are you pleased...

your face is plastered
all along the street?

I'm not kidding.

I need to make this count
if I'm to start off big.

Is the work doable?

It's crazy fun.

It suits me.

Why do you look dreadful, then?

- It shows?
- Yes.

Something's getting to me.

Is this what it is to be famous?

Don't be stupid.

What are you on about?

Welcome.

The kids asked a lot of questions today.

You could've ordered something.

Welcome, Ms. Seo.

Hello.

I should've arranged
something like this first.

Why?

You could've been upset.

About what?

I planned a joint lecture with
Mr. Lee without telling you,

and then put just him in the
advertisement next to me.

All that.

Yes. I was so upset I could've cried.

I apologize.

If I get to start a class for
Heewon High kids, you too can...

You don't have to apologize.

I learned a lot this time.

I have...

I have a habit of thinking of others.

When that's not for me to do.

It's definitely not what I wanted.

I want to think...

only of myself and how
to fill my classroom.

But before I realize, I'm caring about...

others' feelings and situations.

I was betrayed quite a few
times at the previous academy.

Ms. Nam.

I felt sorry for an instructor
who had just gotten started,

and let her use my materials.

Would you believe it?

She used that to bargain
for a higher salary...

and switched academies.

She put her name on the cover
and stole my students too.

Isn't that unbelievable?

What exactly are you getting at?

If I'd known you were planning
something incredible with Mr. Lee,

I should've changed my mind
and done what I wanted.

That's what I'm saying.

What's that?

I'd wanted to open a class
for Chanyoung High students.

That's the school I'm targeting.

Yes. I know.

But what?

Pyo Sang Seob.

(Written Exam, 2nd Semester
of 2023, 10th Grade Korean)

He taught at Guksabong
High for four years...

before transferring to Chanyoung High.

For three years, I taught the kid
who did the best in their year.

I found out a few days ago
that Mr. Pyo had transferred.

I really wanted to teach
Chanyoung High students.

But I held back.

It is very important to know
the schoolteachers' style.

But knowing that won't
guarantee a successful class...

Ms. Seo.

This is my first time in Daechi-dong.

All the schools here are unfamiliar,

and I don't know anyone.

This was such a precious lifeline.

But I just gave up.

Because it was your school.

This supposedly amazing
director from Choisun...

or something is after you too, I heard.

Let's not complicate things
and add to her troubles.

That was my logic.

Goodness.

Isn't that pathetic?

I know how you feel.

I doubt that.

You teach hundreds of kids here.

Why did you ask to see me today?

The final exam special lecture.

I'll teach Chanyoung High students too.

I'm in the area, Ms. Seo.

Text me when you're done.

Don't drink too much.

The lecture's around the corner.

Lee Jun Ho. Whatever others say...

You did the right thing.

My gosh. You sly thing.

To me, you said he'd lost his mind.

I did some thinking after that.

Jun Ho has the brightest future.

After me comes you.

You see the future clearly.

I'm a journalist that
everyone looks down on,

and he's a grad student that
everyone considers a slave.

Compared to him, you're closer to success.

You're a teacher at least.

Hey. Not long from now,
I'll be a professor.

- Jun Ho's still ahead.
- How so?

By the time you become a tenured professor,

he might have retired with
a building to his name.

Of course, that's only
if things go really well.

The worst outcome is that
I'll retire as a landlord.

If things go well, you
must invest in my academy.

Darn it.

I'm at the academy.

You can finish up. I'm leaving.

- Just like that?
- I'll be in touch.

I'll be too busy to see
you for a while. Bye.

Hey, Lee Jun Ho!

Forget about him.

Let's go indoors. It's getting cold.

(Daechi Chase)

Why didn't you go home?

I let you leave early...

because you stayed late last night.

I didn't feel like working, so
I was going to leave early too,

but your text changed my mind.

Let's go to a classroom.

The whole world knows what we're up to now.

We can prepare in the open.

- Is something wrong?
- What do you mean?

Is Ms. Nam very angry?

Oh, her?

She's going to teach a special
class for Chanyoung High kids.

What?

I wonder if I focused
too much on Heewon High.

I should review my Chanyoung material too.

Why would she do that?

I'll have a word with her.

What for?

To ask if she planned
on assassinating you...

at this important time.

That's not right.

How is it not right?

We don't have the right to stop her.

It's up to her.

She should have better morals.

Say that to her face and you'll get shot.

So we do nothing?

Did I say we'll do nothing? Prove that...

your face is next to mine not
because you were favoured.

Let's go.

(A teacher and student sally forth)

(Daechi Chase's miracle Lee Jun
Ho, Main instructor Seo Hye Jin)

(The best Korean lectures so
far weren't actually the best!)

Bus number 2413 will arrive shortly.

I saw Jun Ho's face...

on a huge poster on every street.

It felt strange.

Do you think he'll be really
successful like he said?

Even then, he'll only be a
successful academy instructor.

It could be different if things work out.

Some of them own property in
Gangnam worth hundreds of millions.

Did he find a place?

He hasn't said yet.

Oh, gosh.

Did you have to upset him like that?

He comes home late every night.

You could've let him stay with us.

Then at least I could feed him properly.

He needs to know how
ruthless it is out there.

He thinks we're lucky...

that we have what we've built up.

Do you have to be so twisted?

He's our son.

He has the wrong mindset.

Darn it.

This piece can appear on exams
in many shapes and forms.

Memorize the content, structure, symbolism,

meanings, and definitions.

It's almost like a transformer.

Mention it's easy to get wrong
when coupled with a similar novel.

- Drop the transformer comment.
- Okay.

How about switching the topic?

The passage is too long.

And the board's too packed.

I don't think it suits a taster lecture.

- But...
- Heewon's a boys' school.

You must approach it differently...

from a co-ed or girls' school.

Boys tend to neglect to take notes.

It's a good novel.

There's no bad novel in any textbook.

A good novel is different
from what's better for sales.

- Sales...
- Don't try to be fresh.

Act like you're seasoned.

You must do your best to
convince them you can...

improve their grade class.

I'll change what I write on the board.

Keep going.

("Camera and Combat Boots" by Park Wan Suh)

Park Wan Suh is...

Don't talk about the writer.

Focus on improving grades.

Schoolteachers make exam
questions based on the textbook.

If you have the time to mention the writer,

explain a new word.

Did you look up Heewon High's exam trend?

- Yes.
- Name the characteristics.

Short-answer questions
focus on topics or themes,

and the main character's self-reflection.

When a multiple-choice question
asks about similar works,

it tends to be a trap.

Vocabulary questions always
appear in the SAT format.

And? You want to waste time with what?

It feels weird.

What does?

This isn't how you used to teach me.

What do you mean?

You made me like reading,

and helped me enjoy the
process of answering questions.

What I'm saying is...

When what I feel is the correct answer,

I feel so good I could fly.

It made me want to know...

what wasn't included in the textbook.

Concentrate. Isn't your
goal to teach a large class?

Do we just have to guess
what will be in the exam?

What else must we do for them?

Tell me.

We're up against the White Haired Witch.

Our director wanted to run with
his tail between his legs...

and we convinced him not to.

I promised the other team
leaders I'd secure...

a Heewon High class.

Ms. Nam and the other low-rank teachers...

hate us anyway.

Do as I say and don't complain.

I'm right.

I got what I must do.

Let's practice with a mic from tomorrow.

It affects how you use your hands.

You should get used to it.

Okay.

Go on home. Good job today.

I hope...

you sleep well.

Bye.

Ms. Cha the lawyer. What's up?

Hey.

My darn husband...

accepted two shots from a customer.

I'm driving him home.

I'm a lawyer wife...

and this is how he treats me.

I love you, my dear lawyer wife.

My gosh. Darn you.

Hey, nice.

I saw your new poster.

What a sight.

It brightens the whole neighbourhood.

It's him, isn't it?

Yes. We decided to do something big.

What do you think?

Hey, are you free this weekend?

I have an event.

No, we can't celebrate.

Who knows how it'll go?

Why even worry? It'll obviously be a hit.

You're Seo Hye Jin.

I'll lay out a feast...

fit to break the table in two.

Okay?

Okay. Thanks.

Drive safely.

Okay, I will. Bye.

("Camera and Combat Boots")

(Slide to power off)

Could you...

put these aside before I open the paper?

(A teacher and student sally forth)

(Lee Jun Ho, Seo Hye Jin)

Tell him to come over and explain.

He left already.

("Camera and Combat Boots" by Park Wan Suh)

(Theme, Style)

(Point of view)

("Camera and Combat Boots" by Park Wan Suh)

Yes. Really? That many?

Okay, thanks.

Keep the material under lock and key.

If it gets out, that's on you.

Okay.

See you in ten.

It's not an exact number,

but about 50 kids will go
to Seo Hye Jin's lecture.

The actual number will be bigger.

It'll feel like tasting new junk food.

(A teacher and student sally forth)

You must eat more when you're busy.

By the way,

the number of kids who applied for
the free lecture met the quota?

Yes. It might end up being
first come, first served.

Is Jun Ho managing okay?

He had so little time.

It's fortunate it's a joint lecture.

I'd have felt threatened
if we were competing.

He's that good?

He's a smart kid.

He does pick up things fast.

You don't have to worry.

I'm not worried.

I never worried.

- You're sure about that?
- Yes.

I just have high hopes.

This might worry you a bit.

What will?

Nam Cheong Mi might say she'll teach
a class for Chanyoung High kids.

I haven't heard anything yet.

The vice-director might tell you soon.

I found out about it beforehand.

I appreciate your spirit,

but two instructors
focusing on the same school?

That has never happened here.

Why not hear her out first?

Ms. Nam,

you need to be able to prove...

that you have a competitive
edge that equals Ms. Seo's.

(Chanyoung High School, 10th Grade,
Questions from Previous Exams)

I know I can do well.

There's no doubt she'll let Ms.
Nam open a class.

Tell me how long it's been
since she started searching...

for your rival.

I can shoot down the idea though.

That'd be a cheap shot on my end.

I'll work harder.

Gosh.

You prepare for classes during the day...

and teach students in the evening.

After midnight, you give
Jun Ho private lessons.

At this rate, your energy
will be depleted for good.

You should watch us prepare for the class.

As if that's necessary.

I'll observe on the day.

You've taught this material
thousands of times now,

and you would've taught Jun Ho well.

Jun Ho's class will be a hit.

I see you're one to dote on your protege.

(Daechi Choisun Academy)

(Daechi Choisun Academy)

Let's sit.

I apologize for calling
you out here so early.

It's fine. Please don't mention it.

How have things been?

Things have been well thanks
to your consideration.

This is better than teaching in school.

I admire how you don't prioritize...

the need for a stable job.

That's quite a generous compliment.

I'm more surprised by how
you're changing the way...

to prepare for a class
you've taught for so long.

Not evolving is the scariest of all.

Let's go over the material.

- Sure.
- Right.

"Camera and Combat Boots"
is a novel set in the 1970s.

It follows the story of the narrator...

who finds himself facing the
industrialization period.

That means it's written from
a first-person perspective.

The storytelling mode.

The storytelling mode is the
first thing to remember...

since that alone can help you
answer advanced questions.

Question one in the
material you were given...

is one of those examples.

Let's go over it together.

Questions like these?

There's no need to even read the passage.

After going over your choices,

you should answer it correctly
in less than a minute.

It's all good, but can you reduce the time?

Cutting time is half the battle with
Heewon High School's Korean exam.

You need a way to give them
as much time as you can...

to spend on short-answer questions.

But one must understand the
modes of storytelling...

to answer a certain
multiple choice question.

Right.

Wait.

Here's the passage I chose.

Is this it? Okay.

I like how you added another passage,

but let's change the source.

This one won't be in the exam.

But it's easy to understand.

That can't be our goal
when it's a sample lecture.

If you want to choose a foreign novel...

Right. Go with "The Great Gatsby" instead.

We could promote our
English classes with it.

I'll get right on it.

You're putting too much
stress on your throat.

Have you practised talking
with your vocal cords open?

Yes, I followed some instructions online.

Consider the long game
and protect your voice.

- Got it.
- Show me the rest.

With questions that ask about the content,

don't be too focused on saving time.

Your teachers will have set
numerous traps for you...

to stop you from getting
that perfect score.

Points and scores are important,

but it's more crucial...

to eliminate the risk of
losing points. Got it?

Take a look at your handouts.

You'll find the most common booby traps.

(Daechi Chase)

(A teacher and student
sally forth, Free lecture)

(A teacher and student sally forth)

Gosh. Come in.

Right.

The man of the hour.

I'm not that just yet, but I appreciate it.

I hope you are perfectly prepared.

I am. You don't have to worry.

Good. I'm highly excited.

- Is it at the lecture hall?
- Yes.

Head there, and I'll join you to observe.

- Sure.
- Where's Ms. Seo?

She went to the meeting room.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

- I guess I can catch her later.
- Right.

- I'll get going then.
- Sure.

You can observe the class
at the back of the hall.

A few seats will be vacant.

There will be students who don't show up.

After watching the class,

you might like to consider joint lectures.

I apologize for not
considering you as well,

but your help will be much appreciated.

I have no hard feelings against you,

and I hope that feeling is mutual.

It's time for your lecture.

- Ms. Seo, you're here.
- Hey.

The woman of the hour
shouldn't be running late.

Ms. Seo, I'll set these
handouts on the desks.

Right. Thanks in advance.

Are you ready?

I am. Let's head down there.

We'll get going.

- Good luck.
- Good luck.

- We'll get going.
- We're off.

- Good luck.
- Good luck.

It's too bad I can't observe the class.

I'll stop by during recess.

Just a second.

You can suddenly get nervous
which will affect your composure.

If that happens, look at me.
I'll be at the back of the class.

Seeing a friendly face calms the jitters.

Apart from being too
excited, I'm doing great.

You seem to be the one who's nervous.

To be honest, I am.

A memorable triumph.

Let's create one together.

- Let's go.
- Sure.

(A teacher and student sally forth)

(Heewon High School Free Lecture)

Let's do this.

Thanks for this.

As if you need to thank me.

I want the lecture to begin at any second.

I can't wait.

You won't be disappointed.

- Hit him.
- The one in front of you.

You shouldn't be next to me.

Darn, I died.

You're dead weight.

It's already been an hour,
and we need to get to class.

Already? You ruined it all.

It was close though. Come on. Hurry.

You really should listen to me.

(Those who study will never lose.)

(Study Cafe, Cafe Etiquettes)

Sure. Have a good one.

- Are you off to the Korean class?
- Yes.

(Field assistant)

(Daechi Chase)

Ms. Woo.

Shall we?

Sure. We'll go together.

Ms. Seo...

It's before the designated time.

When I was a student, I always
arrived right on time...

because I didn't want to study.

It's still odd that no one's here.

Let me check outside.

Are you sure the texts
were properly sent out?

Could it have said next week instead?

I checked many times.

Ms. Seo, you're bleeding.

- Get me a tissue.
- Just a second.

(A teacher and student sally forth)

Why are we having a makeup class...

when the finals haven't
even been announced yet?

- Who knows?
- Hey.

I was hoping to catch that instead.

What was it again? The
teacher and student thing.

Me too.

Excuse me.

(A teacher and student sally forth)

The attendance rate is 99 percent.

That's the correct mindset.

Seo Hye Jin's lecture...

will be cancelled.

That poor thing.

Her hard work would've been for nothing.

What on earth is going on?

What...

I thought seats had to be
filled by order of arrival...

due to there being too many applicants.

I'll look into it.

No, let me do that.

Are you sure the students
were properly notified?

Excuse me.

Hello.

You're offering a free
lecture today, right?

Is this the place?

Yes, it is.

It is, but...

Shouldn't you be in class?

Don't they need an assistant?

It's not that.

What is it, then?

I think the free lecture is a total bust.

- Hey.
- Come on.

Did the lecture already begin?

I was about to see how
many students showed up.

We have to cancel.

What?

Shouldn't the lecture begin?

Just a second.

Ms. Seo, are you all right?

No, I'm not all right.

You can snap out of it though, right?

Ms. Seo.

Right. Sorry about that.

Well...

First, can you talk to that student...

and apologize? And...

Tell him he can keep the material.

Urge him to study it...

since we worked hard to put that together.

- Also...
- Wait.

What are you talking about?

I'm going through with it.

He came here to learn from us.

This...

I'm also stunned right now,
but I think we need to do this.

Actually, we have to.

(Director's Office)

I found out why.

A special lecture?

Yes.

Only those who are present
at Choisun Academy...

will be given a new
textbook and study material.

An urgent notice was sent out.

Gosh.

Hwang Sang who wrote "Imsul Diary"...

and Jung "Dasan" Yak Yong...

are famously known for
their close relationship...

as mentor and mentee.

However, due to his status
as a middle-class man,

Hwang Sang couldn't seek government posts.

That is why he spent his life...

residing in the countryside writing poems.

Jung Yak Yong...

also wasted 18 years of his life in exile.

The adoration and mentorship
of these two men...

might seem like self-complacence...

in modern-day terms.

However, it's a passage
loved by school teachers.

Take a look at the material
that was handed out.

Why did it have to be "Imsul Diary?"

No wonder your Korean grade
is always at level five.

- That's why I asked you.
- It's an essay in Chinese.

A magnetic teacher-student relationship...

- is a so-called spiritual victory.
- Through that,

their interaction is put on display.

She's publicly calling them out.

It's been a while,

so how about we go for drinks?

Seeing them will only make
you all uncomfortable.

Gosh.

Head home when you're done, then.

It's the right thing to do.

They'll be embarrassed...

if we go to them after the lecture is over.

I seriously don't know what to say to them.

How about we make a run for it?

Come on.

Will an hour be enough?

- For what?
- While I teach the first half,

get your act together.

You need to do your share.

All right?

Ms. Seo,

I'll create...

another best moment for you.

You're an inspiration, Ms. Seo.

Being someone's mentor in life...

makes passion burn inside you.

- I'll head in, then.
- Wait.

I'll do it.

A one-on-one tutoring...

That's my speciality.

It's just one student. You know?

No one can do a better job than me.

And I have the proof right here.

Gosh.

Goodness. I must look
like a mess right now.

Not at all.

Do I look okay?

Mind-blowingly.

You don't mind switching the order, right?

Of course, not.

I memorized them by heart that
I can recite them in my sleep.

Let's go inside.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you for waiting.

Since I'm taking your precious time,

I ought to give you an
amazing lecture. Right?

All right. Today,

we will study...

("Camera and...")

("Camera and...")

You know what? First of all,

could I ask you what your name is?

It's Lee Si Woo.

Thank you.

Si Woo. Have you heard of Park Wan Suh?

Yes.

Have you read her works other
than the ones in the textbook?

Yes. I have read a few of her works.

Oh, my. A studious student
has come to my lecture today.

Great.

Today, we'll study...

"Camera and Combat Boots" which
you can find in your textbook.

But before we do that,

let me tell you a little
bit about her life.

Put your pen down. You don't
have to write this down.

All right. The late writer, Park Wan Suh,

never really liked it when her works...

showed up in textbooks or the study aids...

for the university entrance exam.

But ironically,

her works show up on the
exams quite frequently.

You know that, right?

"The Naked Tree," "Winter
Outing," "For the Dead Bird,"

"The Bicycle Thief," and
"The Butterfly of Illusion."

You will be reading numerous
works by the late writer...

in the future.

In other words, these adults around you...

will stubbornly want you...

to read the late writer's works.

Why?

Why do you think so?

(Park Wan Suh)

(Park Wan Suh, born in 1931, died in 2011)

(Park Wan Suh, born in 1931, died in 2011)

All right. In my opinion,
the answer is in the numbers.

First of all, you can sort of picture...

a number of major events the
writer must have experienced...

in her lifetime.

Liberation of Korea.

And the Korean War.

- The Internet?
- Excellent.

To use fancy terms, we can say...

the war, the pain from
the division of Korea,

and the industrialization.

The irrationalities and
evils of human affairs...

caused by these social changes...

inspired the late writer.

And there was one more inspiration.

The late writer's mother who had
a huge influence on her childhood.

What do you think?

Do you see why her works show
up on the exams all the time?

On that note, as long as you have
a deep understanding of her life,

you won't be scared to see
any of her works pop up...

on the exams. Right?

Even if you're not familiar with the work.

The late writer lost her
father at the age of three.

The cause of death was appendicitis.

Korea was occupied by Japan back then.

But appendicitis was
treatable in hospitals.

But why did her father die?

The late writer said this
in one of her interviews.

"They tried to treat him with
acupuncture and a ritual."

"But by the time he was transported
to the town area on a cart,"

"it was too late."

Who do you think was shocked
the most by this incident?

- His wife?
- Bingo. It was her father's wife.

In other words, it was
the late writer's mother.

Leaving her mother out while talking
about her life is impossible.

Her mother had always been
highly interested in...

her children's education, to begin with.

After this incident, her mother
got this strong desire...

that she would educate her children...

in the most modern way no matter what.

Back then, the late writer was studying...

"Thousand Character Classic"
from her grandfather.

But her mother said,

"That's not a real education.
It's just learning a trick."

She caused an uproar by dismissing
the conventional education.

I bet you were reminded
of someone just now.

Didn't you see a glimpse of
the main character's mother...

in "Camera and Combat Boots,"

the novel we're going to study today?

It's nice to meet you, Jun Ho.

Yes. Come on in.

So your son's grades are
placed in the eighth class now.

What do you think...

Thank you.

"From this passage, one can learn that..."

"the main idea of the passage is..."

"close to..."

"The clear identity of the protagonist..."

"was never revealed..."

"Looking at this,"

"which answer best represents..."

"the personality of the protagonist..."

"according to..."

("Outline of the Administrative Law")

Si Woo.

Do you know what the camera...

and the combat boots symbolize?

- Yes.
- Tell me.

The camera symbolizes the
main character's idea...

and the combat boots symbolize
the main character's reality.

Excellent.

All right. Then let me tell you this.

The character A in this piece.

Who's the character A here?

It's Hoon.

I doubt that you can answer this.

"In this line,"

"it talks about the symbol of the novel."

"Through the symbol, he talks about..."

So what do you think? That's the answer?

Ms. Seo...

I got in.

Isn't this awesome or what?

(Daechi Chase)

To properly understand
"Hunminjeongeum Created by Sejong,"

the basic concept of middle-age Korean...

must be ingrained in your
head like a photograph. Okay?

Let's take a look at the
rules of creation first.

What are the rules of creation?

Hieroglyphs, added strokes, exceptions.

I see. So you know all of
this off the top of your head.

- When were they created?
- In 1443.

They were promulgated in 1446.

Hey.

I just had a glimpse at how
Jung Yak Yong must have felt...

when he met Hwang Sang.

Look at this guy.

Let's take a look at the rules
of creation one at a time.

The rules are...

initial consonants, middle
vowels, and final consonants.

Let's start with the initial consonants.

As for the rules of the initial consonants,

basically,

we have the rules of hieroglyphs...

There's one more.

There are rules of the added strokes too.

This ends the sample lecture
we have prepared for you.

Was it helpful?

Yes.

The registration begins on

(The best Korean lectures so

(A teacher and student sally forth.)

Ms. Seo. I'll get going first.

I hope you can feel better.
Cheer up. Min Ji.

(Ms. Seo. I'll get going first.)

(I hope you can feel better.
Cheer up. Min Ji.)

Gosh.

I'm getting a flood of
comforting and cheering messages.

You're still here?

Yes.

What's this?

I always get so hungry
after teaching a class.

I'm sorry. Thank you. Wait.

Excuse me. Sorry about this.

What's going on?

I hope you didn't forget about our plan...

because you're overwhelmed...

by the thrill and joy.

We have already prepared a feast for you.

What? You're not coming?

Any food for me?

They aren't healthy foods anyway.

So there's some for me.

Come on. Let me take a look.

- Well...
- What did you buy?

Let's go out.

Even if it was a bust,
it was still a big event.

Now that it's over,

we should have a wrap party.

Let's go.

(Imkyung Villa)

(High School Math)

Hey.

Gosh. You're finally here.

Gosh. Good job.

- Welcome.
- Hey.

Did it go well?

Did you crush it? Did you
get all of them to sign up?

Yes?

Let's sit down.

She sounds like a total crazy witch.

She's not crazy.

She wanted to keep her students.
Her action was understandable.

I'm the one who lowered my guard.

That was brutal.

Gosh.

(Forget about the teacher
and student sally forth.)

(I won't be able to finish my homework.)

(I heard Si Woo was going
to the free lecture.)

(- Did Si Woo go?
- I'm curious.)

(I went to the lecture.)

I went to the lecture.

Gosh. Our supplementary
lecture was so boring.

Are they worth betraying Choisun Academy?

Enough with the suspense, Si Woo.

(I might switch. It was pretty good.)

I might switch. It was pretty good.

That's crazy. Was it that good?

If Si Woo is switching, this
is a whole new game then.

No way. Will the top of our
class betray Choisun Academy?

(The Midnight Romance in Hagwon)

Ms. Seo. Reduce the
number of your lectures.

Please spearhead the task force
team for the Gangbuk branch.

There's no such thing.

He wants to kick me out empty-handed.

Shouldn't you at least protest?

It means it was a bust
because of me, right?

Their lecture was interesting?

Lee Si Woo!

I think my teaching style
is too graceful for them.

So I prepared this.

Don't look at me like that.
I won't go down that easily.

Have you signed a contract
for your next year's lectures?

Why don't you sign one with me?
