THE WORLD OF LOVE
- Lee Jooin.
- Huh?
Go easy on
the romance, okay?
Yura, you go easy
on these sketches!
Hey, these are getting
more and more...
whoa!
Sorry I'm late, class!
No worries!
What's that?
Hello, Ms. Yang!
Hey, when I'm late,
you can study...
No need to swing up.
Let the recoil do it.
Arms at 90 degrees.
Okay! Okay! Okay!
Okay! Okay! Okay!
It's not 90 degrees, Jooin.
Shut up!
Don't be scared of the ball!
That's it!
That was good, keep it up.
Watch it all the way.
Jooin!
Watch what?
- Get out of my face.
- I'll stay away from that face!
Hey, you think it's easy
being as pretty as me?
Bomi, learn from someone
who knows something!
Get over here.
Think you're a big shot?
I am! Bigger than you!
Taller! With a bigger face!
Now you're dead.
Like this?
Okay, okay!
I give up!
How dare you?
Get over here!
- I give up!
- I'll teach you!
Oh, you okay? Sorry.
Su-h*, I'm sorry.
You okay?
Calm down, will you?
It wasn't on purpose...
- Prez! Back in line.
- Yes!
You don't attend any
after-school academies?
Well, you'll do fine
on your own anyway.
- Jooin!
- Yes?
Your vocation.
Still thinking about it?
Yeah, it's so hard!
Don't overthink it.
Anything you want to do later?
Or, what kind of person
you want to be?
Hold on.
This book...
Here. Eat it.
I'm fine.
My dad sent these from his orchard.
I have tons of them.
Besides...
Jooin, what's wrong?
Jooin!
Are you allergic to apples?
- It's not that.
What?
- Apples... apples...
- What?
I really hate them.
Huh?
Should my vocation be
to like apples?
You brat!
- Are you calling my dad?
- Yeah.
- He's not answering?
- No.
Noori, your dad must be
working super hard.
Where... here?
Here?
Ah, it hurts here.
Is Noori okay?
Sorry, I just stepped out
for a second!
It's okay, really.
Kids, be careful.
Ms. Song, could you bring
the kids to the classroom?
- Yes!
- Okay then.
Seung-woo, let's go!
Noori, I'll raise this up a bit.
Yes.
- Let's go to the classroom!
- Hello.
Hi, Jooin!
Higher... there we go!
Mom!
Come on in.
Mom, I gotta go.
I just need an ID number
and an address.
I had it before,
but I can't find it.
Just a moment.
That hurt?
No.
Wow, that must've hurt so bad.
Nope. Not at all!
For real?
Yeah.
Ouch!
- Hey, Noori!
- Su-h*!
Su-h*? She's your sister?
What are you doing here?
Did you do this to her?
What?
Oh my god.
What do you mean?
Because of her,
I had to skip practice--
Su-h*, is that you?
Come here a sec.
- Wow...
- Yes!
I'll be back, Noori.
Stay with her.
I'm sorry,
I was at the academy...
They need an ID and address.
- Thanks for coming.
- It's fine.
We couldn't reach your dad.
My dad's really busy.
At least we got you.
Is her arm broken?
Jooin!
Huh? What?
Look, I'm not trying to
diss your boyfriend...
We broke up.
Already?
Why this time?
We weren't a good match.
Jooin, how many times is this?
You can't even last a month.
I suck at love, I guess.
Doomed from the start,
someone like me...
Don't be so dramatic.
Nobody's good from the start.
Just keep trying.
What was it this time?
Something X-rated?
Mom!
It's okay, tell me.
It's not okay!
Are you crazy?
I'm a specialist
in these matters.
Specialist?
Forget it, just stop.
Watch, now I'll put
this ball in my right hand.
Now I move it to the left.
Then I blow on it like this...
Wow!
Ta-dah!
Mr. Magician!
I can see the ball!
I see it!
Don't say that.
You figured it out!
Magician Lee Hae-in,
practice a bit more.
Who's texting you so late?
A new man?
Get out.
Stop drinking, woman!
How many cans have you had?
Look at her change the subject.
Who is it?
Nobody.
Oh my god.
You don't need to know!
Let me look.
Just tell me, I'm curious!
Don't be so curious.
Yes, hello, ma'am.
This is Noori's dad.
Hey, what is this?
When did it happen?
I dunno.
- Let me look.
- It itches!
But...
I'm really sorry, but just for today,
could you watch her till 10pm?
Damn...
- Yes, I know.
- Dad!
Hi, this is Su-h*.
I'll just come get her at 8.
You can just pick her up
and give her dinner... yes.
Thanks so much.
Why stammer like that?
We're paying her.
What about your academy?
You missed twice last week.
It's fine. Go on now.
This was here?
- You're all grown up now!
- Hey, stop it! Just go.
Black noodles.
Black noodles?
That's what you want?
Where should we go?
Somewhere far.
Don't run! Careful.
Su-h*!
Die, r*pist scum!
- Hurry up!
- Hey!
Die, r*pist scum!
I told you not to run!
Noori, be careful.
Seriously, I'm using
both a tampon and a pad!
Should I wear diapers too?
If the technology
can't perform any better,
what's someone like me
supposed to do?
Are you bleeding that much?
Visit a doctor.
I did.
No problem.
My uterus is perfect!
Okay.
Wow, so grown up.
Visiting a gynecologist.
I can't even use a tampon yet.
How can something like that
go into a space so small?
Then how will we give birth?
Or have sex in the first--
Oops.
Listen, for sex,
there's a solution.
When a woman gets excited,
like with man, it gets bigger.
- Oh hell.
- Hey.
Once I was taking selfies
with my ex-boyfriend.
- I was sitting on his lap.
- Yeah?
And on my butt, I could feel
this sharp thing poking me.
He was excited,
really excited!
Hey!
Can guys really not control that?
Like we get cramps?
You compare that
to period cramps?
But what was
the gynecologist's like?
Huh?
I heard if you're a virgin
they examine your an*s instead,
so they don't tear the hymen.
Is that true?
Is that true?
Huh?
To: Lee Jooin
Hae-in, you home?
- Yeah!
Where's Mom?
A work dinner, she said.
What work dinner?
Don't you think we should
be worried about Mom?
Mom, come on!
Why does she keep
buying and k*lling flowers?
Is it menopause or what?
Who said you could eat snacks?
I didn't eat much.
Your atopy will never
get better this way!
But...
Enough.
Family meeting in 10 minutes.
Jooin!
- Not again!
- Come on!
No way. Not today!
When did she buy these ones?
You're so old-fashioned.
Put kids to work,
while you chill out.
Oh, right. Jooin!
Yeah?
You coming to my magic show?
No.
You have to come!
You've got a loud voice
and you clap a lot!
Dammit, Mom!
She threw up here, too?
Why does she drink so much?
You're coming!
Huh?
- Did you go to Dad's today?
- Huh?
Yeah.
How is he?
Is he doing okay?
I guess he's fine,
or maybe the same as before.
Don't tell Mom,
you'll just get her worried.
I know.
Sorry.
What are you sorry for?
He's your dad.
You missed a towel in
the washer. No slacking off!
All right.
Dad, I have a new boyfriend.
Dad, be sure to eat well.
Dad, I heard there are
wild boars there? You OK?
Dad: I'm Okay.
No.
Feet flat.
Bring them together and rise.
Yes.
Think of it as holding
Buddha's feet in both hands.
- Yes.
- Try again.
Doesn't it feel good
praying from early morning?
Yes.
Mom, how about catfish stew?
Nice and spicy?
Especially you, Jooin.
Pray at home every day.
- Okay?
- Yes.
No matter how upset
you may feel,
- Mom!
- ...if you pray--
Oh my.
Oh my.
Just think of it as your karma,
what else can you do?
It's the sins of your past life.
Even your grandpa,
when he was alive,
- all kinds of evil spirits were...
- Mom!
Grandma, I'll go off and
accumulate some merit, then.
- Bye Mom, I'm late!
- What about lunch?
Where's she going?
Mom, why talk that way to a kid
who's finally got it together?
You really know how to
rattle people's nerves.
- Rattle nerves? Me?
- How about kimchi stew?
Hey, it's my prayers that
let you live as well as you do.
Back when your dad was alive,
while he was out raising hell,
you were all I had.
It was all no use.
Beom, any bags left there?
Hold on, Mun-ha.
- Put the wires in here.
- Here?
- All right.
- There are a lot of wires here.
- They need to be separated.
- Yes.
Wow, that's a lot of guitars.
There are too many,
we have to take these all out.
Sure thing.
Hey, Lee Jooin!
Hey, Mido!
Why are you so late?
I sent you 100 texts.
Really sorry.
But, you can't do it like this.
Answer me,
why were you late?
Last night,
this annoying customer...
just wouldn't leave,
till super late.
I slept maybe an hour?
Look at these dark circles.
Why didn't you just sleep in?
- Had to meet the lawyer this morning.
- Did you eat?
- Of course not.
- Mido!
Know what time it is?
Be a role model for our youngest!
In-joo...
You know how crazy
things have been for me!
We're already used goods.
Right, I smell musty, okay?
Beom, come get this!
Wow!
Mido, what did you put in
to make it taste so good?
What do you think?
My blood, sweat, tears, pain, stress!
That's right.
Mido, you must be super busy.
Things going okay?
Yeah, well...
That lawyer is so great!
That lawyer is so great!
When I told her you're pregnant,
she was so happy for you.
Right, I should give her a call.
I'm so scatterbrained
these days.
But how long can you
keep volunteering?
Won't you be giving birth soon?
You're right.
I may need to just rest.
My husband is concerned, too.
And why do I get
so bloated these days?
Hey, it'll only get worse.
- Really?
- Yeah.
The more you go out
and move around, the better.
Think of it as exercise.
You've never even had a baby.
Wait, and you're in orthepedics,
not obstetrics.
- Right, orthepedics!
- Hey, we do treat pregnant women.
Really?
But you stay away.
Nurses are multi-qualified
anyways.
Then take up plastic surgery.
Working here,
my face just isn't the same.
You? Give me a break!
Anyway, if you all want to
live well, get some exercise.
Don't sit around at home.
- It'll just get you down.
- Right.
She's right.
I'm so thankful to In-joo.
Thanks to her,
I come outside,
get fresh air, work up a sweat,
and I feel like...
I'm becoming a good person.
But aren't you guys
a weekend couple?
Doesn't your husband mind
losing a half day like this?
Ji-yeon, for married couples,
not seeing each other too often
is basic courtesy.
Eat up.
Jeongdo Taekwondo
Hi, Coach.
Hey, Jooin.
I gave you the passcode,
and now you barge in anytime?
Sorry, I missed so much
practice last week.
It's not like you're going pro.
Lock the door when
you're in here alone, okay?
Okay.
Right.
Don't overdo it.
It won't happen all at once.
- Thank you!
- Bye, now.
- I'll work hard!
- Yeah.
Sorry.
- Should I start?
- Yeah.
Quiet down. Quiet!
Your group reports
are due next week.
- When?
- Next week!
So... next week.
And Su-h*'s got something prepared
from the broadcasting club.
You have enough time?
- Yes, plenty. Thank you.
- Okay.
You all remember Hwang Jae-yeol,
from eight years ago?
He sexually assaulted
an elementary school girl near here.
Next month he'll be
released from prison,
and he'll come back
to our community.
So the broadcasting club
is preparing a petition.
Let me show you the video first.
Eight years ago in Seoul,
a third grader
was sexually assaulted
on her way home from school.
The culprit, a man in his 40s named
Hwang Jae-yeol, lived nearby.
The girl was returning home
from school.
The man followed her
from the school gate,
lured her to a parking lot
by asking for help,
then beat her unconscious
and sexually assaulted her.
We Oppose the Return
of Sexual Predator Hwang Jae-yeol
Hey, Jooin. Sign this.
Jooin!
Whatever. Just skip me.
Come on,
everyone else signed.
Hurry up.
Great, then no one will notice
I'm missing. Good work.
- You really won't sign?
- No.
So you don't care
if that b*stard comes back?
Is that it?
Look, I get the point of this.
- Then...
- But you've got some things wrong.
Wrong? Where?
What did I get wrong?
Come on, get up.
I mean....
This, here.
"Sexual violence leaves deep
wounds that never heal,'
"and completely destroys
a person's life and soul."
Really?
Doesn't it?
It's sexual as*ault.
On a young girl, no less.
It's such a huge trauma--
Sure, a trauma.
I understand that.
But "deep wounds
that never heal...'
"completely destroys
a person's life and soul...'
Why so dramatic?
Sounds like you copied it.
- What is that?
- Hey.
You know she was
only 10 years old?
She had multiple surgeries,
changed schools...
I don't think you understand
how serious sexual as*ault is.
Whatever.
I can't agree to this
wrong statement, so skip me.
Or redo it without that line.
That would be better.
How can I redo it?
Everyone signed already.
So you shouldn't have
gotten this wrong.
This isn't just something
to boost your student resume.
That's not it!
Then why get so worked up?
What do you know
about this issue?
- More than you.
- You wish!
- Calm down.
- I did a lot of research for this.
Of course I know more.
You don't know this!
- Yes I do!
- Quiet down!
Why are you shouting?
What's going on?
Jooin keeps saying
I got this wrong.
- It is! It's obvious!
- No it's not!
It's wrong!
Why's it wrong?
Because you said so?
Yeah, because I said so.
Who are you?
Are you a r*pe victim?
Yes, I'm a r*pe victim!
So what?
So is my life destroyed?
Am I completely ruined?
...If that were true,
look how flustered he'd be!
- Ms. Yang, Su-h*'s face is...
- Lee Jooin!
It's not something to joke about.
You should know better.
That's a demerit.
No excuses.
Ms. Yang!
I didn't mean it,
can you please forgive me?
- Really, I was just...
- Why's she always doing that?
- Tae-sun, we're drinking!
- Okay.
Come into the light.
There's more booze here.
Tae-sun, hi!
Come and join us!
It's so fun here.
Sure, you all have fun!
Why don't you come?
Yeah, we miss you!
Hey, these days
I work all weekend.
Seriously? Hurry up.
We need the class prez!
I left my husband and kids
to come here. You come too!
Hey, let's have a toast.
You too!
Come on, not so loud!
What now?
- Let me see your face.
- Here.
Why do you look so old?
Huh?
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven!
One, two, three, four!
That's not it!
Get in sync! Turn!
One, two, three, four, five, six!
No, not that!
No!
Oh my god, Jooin!
Oh my god, Jooin!
I give up!
Sorry, we can't use this.
Sorry, this is unusable.
That lip bite there...
Oh no!
Sorry, we can't use this.
Wow!
Hold on,
let me get something.
Hey, how can you
ever defeat her?
Hey, try out-doing Jooin.
Hey, Jooin!
Yeah?
Your butt's supremacy
is under threat.
Hey, butt master!
Jooin, how could you joke
about something like that?
Are you really so stupid,
or just desperate for attention?
Jooin's jokes sometimes
make my skin crawl.
- You said it.
- But a r*pe victim?
Who'd believe that?
Chan-woo, what do you think?
As her ex-boyfriend.
What do you mean?
Get your stuff, I'm late.
Honestly,
Jooin's pretty cool, but...
- She seems a bit...
- Easy?
How many did she date this year?
What number are you?
Stop it, he's still recovering.
But why'd she dump you?
What was her reason?
- Guess I did something wrong.
- You didn't do anything!
Anyway, she lures in
all the innocent ones.
Isn't that sexual as*ault?
She's not a victim,
she's an offender!
A seductress.
Hey, she's not like that!
What do you know?
Hey Chan-woo.
Why so serious?
Did I say something wrong?
Hey, Chan-woo!
Stop!
Min-jae, you okay?
She...
You okay?
Hey.
I told you, this isn't
a place to work off stress.
Do this right, everyone!
Yes!
Focus!
Resume sparring!
Hey Min-jae, you all right?
Take a rest over there.
Jooin, what's with you?
Something going on?
No.
This is just practice.
Why are you getting
all worked up?
I'm sorry.
Take a break.
Calm yourself.
Hey, can't you
shout any louder?
Mido!
Mental strength!
What kind of pizza?
What's up, Mido?
- Our silver medalist!
- Did you cut your hair?
- Not bad, huh?
- Is this zero coke?
Mido, you've gotten prettier!
The exact same look as now,
but more handsome then, right?
That was my heyday.
But don't I look exactly the same?
Now I'm a bit more...
No, it's not the same.
- That day was historic for me.
- Of course.
- This was my historic day.
- But what's with those bangs?
Don't be so mean!
How can you two
still be so close?
You still see each other
after you moved?
We just have a special bond.
Plus, I'm like a mentor.
Jooin's life mentor.
Yeah, right.
Are you drinking?
A minor?
Did you see that?
This food cries out
for alcohol, it's so good.
What a smooth talker.
But it is good, right?
It came out well.
- Eat your fill.
- It's so good.
Wow, you're all grown up, Mido.
Earning money, cooking,
nagging your junior.
Don't I seem adult now?
I wouldn't go that far,
but you've come a long way.
In the past you'd make trouble
and I'd always be bailing you out,
- begging people to forgive you.
- Coach!
Don't say that in front of Jooin.
Right, when are you going to
fix that for me?
What?
You said when you get rich,
you'd refurbish it all nicely.
What happened there?
Didn't you hear?
In middle school
she ran away from home,
lived here without telling me,
and she burned all of that.
Was it ramen you were cooking?
Pork belly.
I was growing up, I had to eat!
Don't make such a big deal.
Jooin.
Yeah?
Is there anything you try
really hard to do, but just can't?
- Something I can't do?
- Yeah.
Like, for everyone else,
they don't even have to try.
But for some reason,
you just can't do it.
That kind of thing?
Sure enough... love?
Hey!
What's a kid like you
know about that?
What about you?
- For me?
- Yeah.
Forgiveness.
Mido...
It's true.
I try really hard.
But I still can't forgive myself.
Still, I should try, right?
I should.
Since I'm still alive.
Mido.
Are you going right home?
Yeah, it's late.
No!
So pretty!
This is yours? Wow.
- Ms. Song!
- Hi!
- Hi Noori.
- Hi.
Try hitting it. It really doesn't hurt.
Oh no! Don't do that.
- Hello!
- Hi.
Kids bruise easily, right?
But it heals quickly.
Kids' bodies are amazing, right?
But it looks just like
someone pinched her.
When kids play together,
that can happen.
I checked,
and didn't find anything.
Go on to school.
But since it's right
in the middle of her neck,
I'm sorry, but if you
could just check the CCTV...
Oh my, it's really nothing!
That isn't serious at all.
Go on, you'll be late.
Ma'am.
Yes?
It hasn't been long since
she got her cast, and now this.
She seems to get hurt
every time she comes here.
My dad's really concerned
about this too.
Please look into it for us.
How'd this happen?
Thank you.
- Okay, go on.
- Yes.
Then where should
we put this sticker?
Boy
Girl
Hey, don't do that!
Why not?
- I'll...
Don't do that.
Hey!
You put it here and here.
Why here?
It's ticklish.
Ah, ticklish?
Right, if you touch here,
it's ticklish.
So these places here
are precious?
Want another sticker?
If anyone needs a sticker,
raise your hand!
Ms. Song?
- Noori, shall we try together?
- Yes.
How about here?
What's it called again?
- vag*na?
- Right, vag*na.
No one else should
touch your vag*na, right?
Shall we put a sticker there?
Which one?
I thought it was
something serious.
For kids, a vag*na or an an*s
are all the same.
So did Noori say she would
wipe her own bum now?
No, she still wants
her brother to do it for her.
She says he doesn't mind
the smell, and wipes it clean.
Right, Su-h* does well.
Too well, actually.
But I worry about that family.
She'll need more help as she grows,
but with just two men at home...
Anyway, kids with a lack
usually stand out.
I saw this documentary,
and if kids experience hardship when
they're young, their brain changes.
No matter how much you try
to help them, they can't recover.
Ms. Song.
Could you hold off
on the manicures, maybe?
The moms might complain about
scratches, so best to be careful.
If one person finds a flaw,
they all complain.
Shall I clean up these blocks?
See you tomorrow.
Slow down.
Hey!
Why, did I go too fast?
Yeah, and you didn't listen.
Sorry, I didn't know, baby.
I mean, Jooin.
All right, I won't do it.
Forgive me.
If I do it again,
just slap me.
I'll be good, really.
Let's do this.
A bit close, aren't you?
Good day to you, too.
What kind of food
do you prefer?
I prefer whatever
Jooin prefers.
You eat it!
Here I go!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Ta-dah.
I'm only eating it for you.
This is like the Viking.
- Want to hold hands?
- Huh?
We're holding hands.
Oh, this wasn't you?
- Like this.
- Like this.
- Hi!
- Hi!
Beom, this is my boyfriend
Chan-woo.
This is Beom.
Have a sweet bun.
What's this?
There's milk, too.
There's custard
and sweet buns.
Thanks.
This my boyfriend
Chan-woo.
Have a custard bun.
- Then sweet buns? We have milk, too.
- I don't want it.
Wait, hold on!
You're making me
uncomfortable.
Ji-yeon.
So stop calling me!
Mido, what's gotten you
so angry?
You know my mom
came to my house today?
Dragging along my aunts,
shouting and carrying on...
This is our surprise guest.
Jooin's boyfriend.
Hello.
I didn't hear
someone new is coming.
Oh, I brought him.
Sorry.
But he's a great worker.
Stronger than he looks, you can--
You need to give notice
before inviting outsiders.
Don't you know
the rules, Jooin?
Sure, that's the rule.
But they meant well--
No, meaning well is one thing,
but rules are rules.
We made the rules
for a reason, right?
Jooin, this isn't right.
Take him away.
Mido, but still...
He bought sweet buns.
We went to your favorite place
to get these.
Yeah, it's okay.
Go get ready.
Mido, you've had
a rough day today, right?
Yeah, it's been rough.
What about it?
Am I the only one?
Just me?
Everyone else is fine with it?
All right, please
calm down for now.
What are you staring at?
Huh?
Why are you staring at me?
You shouldn't stare
at people like that.
Hey, I told you
to get the hell out!
Hey, this won't do.
Take some time to calm down.
He's looking at me weird!
Walk around the block,
and think hard about
what's really making you mad.
Think hard?
I'm not thinking now?
Oh, you think
I'm a crazy b*tch too?
That's right, I'm crazy.
I'm not normal.
I'm not normal!
How could I be normal?
Will you stop this?
- Am I wrong?
- They're just kids.
Please stop.
Han Mido!
- Hey Mido!
- Mido!
Jooin...
Hurry and get out!
Jooin!
- Mom.
- Yeah?
- She won't come out.
- Okay, I'll go.
Hurry!
- Come on Mom, hurry.
- All right, all right.
Go shout at the door.
Tell her to come out.
Jooin, I'll pee my pants!
Jooin, come out!
Hurry, or I'll pee
in your room!
I'll do it.
Jooin, time to come out.
Jooin, it's been an hour.
- Jooin?
- Hurry!
Go to the veranda.
Mom, again?
Then here?
No, I don't want to!
Hurry, hurry! Go now.
I hate this.
So annoying.
Dad?
The person you are calling
is not available...
Jooin.
What was it like your first time?
Huh?
Never mind,
keep it to yourself.
Who cares if
your friend's work is ruined?
Jooin.
That sentence you said
was wrong, I took it out.
Could you please sign now?
If you sign,
we'll have the entire school.
Su-h*, this one's
from our class.
Listen, I...
I can't redo it
for every class.
And you said you agree
with the point of it.
Don't get hung up
on something small.
Su-h*, if this happened to
your sister, what then?
Isn't that why
you're going on about this?
Tell me.
Your sister, Noori or whatever.
If this awful sexual as*ault
happened to her, what then?
Hey, watch your mouth.
What do you mean?
Why bring up Noori?
I'm telling you to think about it.
- To imagine it.
- Think before you talk.
- Think what?
- You...
You think this doesn't
apply to you?
That's why you're going on
talking about this.
Forget it, what do you know?
That's why you're acting
like a know-it-all.
Hey!
Hey, Jooin!
What?
Don't pretend
you know everything!
What about me?
Then you think about it.
Why do you keep saying that?
How would you feel if you
were sexually assaulted?
What did you say?
Say that again!
- Hey!
- Let go of me!
Say that again, you psycho!
How'd this get so serious?
I don't know why
this had to go so far.
Strictly speaking,
it doesn't concern you two.
They both got too worked up.
It's the smart kids
that get carried away.
Su-h*, your dad isn't picking up.
Is there anyone else...?
I can just do it myself.
You're all grown up!
All right.
It's no big deal anyway.
Drink up.
Well, as you all know,
in cases like this we should report
to the school violence committee.
That's the rule,
but neither of you want
to make a big issue of this.
Sure, they need to focus
on studies, not get sidetracked.
Right, it's their final year.
In that case, shall we try
to resolve this on our own?
How about you, Su-h*?
It'll be hard, but if you find it
in you to look past this...
Of course, for Jooin's
use of violence,
we could consider
disciplinary action or punishment.
Then instead of punishment,
could she agree
to sign the petition?
If so, then I'll be fine with that.
- That works even better!
Sure.
That's how friends
should handle it.
That's better, isn't it, ma'am?
Yes... better than
punishment, yes.
Thank you, Su-h*.
Jooin.
Su-h*'s being
considerate here, right?
Sure.
I'll sign.
If Su-h* admits that sentence
is totally wrong.
- Jooin.
- Jooin...
No, it's a totally wrong statement,
he needs to know that.
Because...
I'm a sexual as*ault victim.
I was very young,
it was really hard
for me back then.
But that all passed,
and it doesn't dominate my life.
As you see, I'm doing okay.
My life isn't ruined yet.
So please don't say it that way.
Please.
Lee Jooin
- Here you are.
- Thank you.
Drive all the way in.
That's right.
Stop.
Mom.
Sorry I did that.
Did I frighten you?
No.
You were more frightened.
I didn't mean to say it...
Anyway, I'm really sorry.
Why do you say sorry?
I'm the one who's sorry.
Right.
You should've looked after me,
not the other kids.
You should've focused on
the nursery school later,
and stayed more with me.
You're my mom!
You should've known from my face.
You should've believed me!
How could you
let that happen to me!
For so long!
Why?
What did I do?
What the f*ck did I do?
Why didn't you know?
Mom...
Want to go around once more?
This is Hae-in.
Hae-in,
- What were you doing?
- Why are you so late?
Did you have a drink
without me?
Did you eat?
I told you not to scratch this!
It's okay.
Don't touch it.
- Put on lotion, okay?
Yeah.
Don't scratch it!
Hey Jooin!
In your room,
the invitation...
Invitation
Hae-in's Magic Show
Dear Mom, Jooin and Dad
Special VIP Invitation
Fine for Not Coming:
1000000000000 won x 100
Did you see that? Huh?
Da-mi, don't listen to him.
Did you see me
score that basket?
You were so good.
- I'm actually better than him.
- No, she's bad at this.
Da-mi, I showed you how.
You'll do better learning from me.
I sh**t well.
Really?
Hey Jooin! Get over here!
Nah nah!
Damn it!
You're no fun.
What's no fun?
Hey, stop!
I'll show you some fun.
Hey!
Stop it!
Jooin said to stop!
- What is he doing?
- Hey, what's going on?
Nothing, sir!
What is it?
Why didn't he stop
when you said to?
Why?
- Are you really okay?
- What's with him?
He didn't do it on purpose.
If she says to stop,
he should stop.
He's so clueless.
You get some rest.
- Let's say we'll rest in the shade.
- Yeah.
- That it's too hot.
- Yeah, let's sit.
Look at me.
Still not looking at me?
Yura, why are you
avoiding me?
Are you mad about something?
No, nothing.
Hey, I'm really sorry
for not telling you.
Everyone kept asking why
I wasn't punished,
I thought
they'd misunderstand.
It's not about that.
Then what is it?
Just look at me!
Did what I said
make you worried?
Or uncomfortable?
But I'm really fine, okay?
- It's all in the past--
- Hey.
Why are you so fine
about everything?
Are you really okay?
What?
Sorry, I can't look at you now.
Let's talk later.
Bye.
But Yura, I'm really okay.
I'm totally fine.
Look at me, huh?
Look at me, Yura! Huh?
Jooin, how can I believe you
if you keep changing your story?
What do you want from all this?
Is it fun making people confused?
This is the last time.
The doctor said to pick up
your own medicine from now on.
Thanks, honey.
It's cold here, right?
It's windy under the mountain.
Today's pretty chilly.
So have you thought
things over?
when they start sowing
the fields, I'll have to help.
- The village head is so...
- Honey.
You didn't come here to work.
It's three years already.
Doesn't seem to be
helping you any.
No, I sleep well here,
and the food--
Really? That's great.
So you can come home now.
Maybe I'll move in here.
I'd like to sleep well
for a change.
You like being here alone,
don't you?
Here in nature you can avoid
seeing anything ugly.
Without me yelling at you,
must be so nice. Right?
It's not that,
what did you ever do to me?
That's what I'm saying!
What did I ever do to you?
I'd be totally justified.
You're that b*stard's brother!
And Hae-in's magic show?
You'll come?
Well, I...
Oh right,
I got some carrots for you.
It's good for skin issues,
and Jooin still likes carrots, right?
Why do you keep
ignoring Jooin's texts?
told you not to do that.
How much longer do I have to
cover for you and reassure her?
What can I even say
to Jooin, at this point?
I'm not telling you
to say much!
Just answer her texts!
If she asks if you ate or slept well,
just say yes!
Why ignore her
and make her worry?
Why should she have to
tiptoe around your feelings?
That's not fair!
And why do I even have to
tell you these things?
Get me some water.
Sorry, my mistake.
I guess I was too nervous.
You okay?
Chan-woo.
What is it?
It's my first time, that's all.
I'm sorry.
Jooin...
I can't do this
anymore, sorry.
Hey...
It doesn't have to be today.
Later we...
No.
I don't really get you.
- You keep blowing hot and cold.
- That's why I explained it.
Because of when I was young...
Jooin.
You are just too
difficult for me.
Sorry.
Ta-dah.
What are you doing?
Drawing?
Let me see.
Does it still hurt?
Yura's cramps
are lasting so long.
She must be under
so much stress.
Yeah, I bet.
So Yura never knew about Jooin?
They've been best friends for years.
Yeah... These days I feel
awkward around Jooin.
It's just uncomfortable.
Because of that?
Yeah.
It was easier
when we didn't know.
But did she really
have to tell everyone?
Honestly, do you all
believe her? I'm not so sure.
Actually me too.
We don't know
any of the details,
and on the outside
she looks fine.
But if it really happened,
how could she not have trauma?
Yeah, maybe it's in her
but she doesn't know.
Maybe that's why she lies a lot,
and has such a temper.
She keeps changing boyfriends,
and likes to touch people.
Hey, maybe it made her
more obsessed with sex?
- Yeah?
- It's a bit creepy.
Still, all things considered,
her life's pretty decent.
Maybe she just works hard
to appear normal.
It's exhausting
to even think about.
I'd rather just live
a boring, uneventful life.
- Congrats, that's your life already!
- Hey, shut up!
Noori, let's wipe your nose.
My nose is dry.
Then what is that? Jelly?
You'll take it out
and eat it later?
- Ms. Song.
- Jooin!
Is Mom here?
She left early today.
- Really?
- Those are so pretty!
Are they for her?
She would've liked that.
But why'd Mom leave?
Her stomach again?
Yeah, I think she should
see a doctor.
Jooin, can you watch
the kid for a sec?
What?
We're all out of
medicine today.
It'll just take 5 minutes.
I'll go buy some cold medicine.
I don't have a cold!
Okay, but I'm still
going to buy cold medicine!
I'll be real quick!
Okay? Thank you!
- I'm really not sick.
- Sure!
Well, if you were really
feeling so upset,
how could you have sent
a text like this?
"Dad, it's raining a lot,
drive carefully." Heart.
A heart emoji.
I thought if I was nice to him,
things would improve.
Yes.
Later that day, you won a silver
medal at a taekwondo competition?
Yes.
In photos and videos from that day
you look unusually happy, right?
Yes, I was really happy.
I didn't expect to get a medal.
Then you performed
better than usual that day?
How can that be?
If you'd really suffered such
horrific sexual as*ault...
I did well because
I had practiced really hard.
And at that time
I didn't even know...
it was sexual as*ault.
According to your mother,
you asked your dad for 2 million won
to prepare for an athletics degree.
The academy's fee was 1.5 million,
but you asked for 0.5 million more.
Why lie about the fee?
It wasn't.
I didn't lie.
It's because he gave me
almnost no spending money.
I needed it for transportation,
and to pay for meals.
Isn't 500,000 won rather a lot
for a high school student?
I felt I had the right
to ask for that much.
Given what I'd been through.
The right?
But he never gave it to me.
So I had to give up sports.
Wasn't it your decision
to give up sports?
Are you saying
you had no choice
because your parents
didn't give you money?
I really, really
wanted to do sports.
I practiced so hard.
But at that time, didn't you
run away from home often?
So you didn't visit
the taekwondo studio very often?
That's in your testimony.
Are you changing
your testimony now?
You can't approach her.
Just a handkerchief.
Return to your seat.
- Yes.
I'm sorry.
Shall we continue?
What's up today?
So many customers!
I wish every day
was like this.
Mido, where's the ladle?
Huh?
- It's not there?
- No, it's not.
- I'll wash one for you.
- Okay.
Someone's outside for you...
You know?
Who?
You didn't know?
She said she's family.
I told her to wait inside,
but she refused.
Thank you.
- Boss.
- Thanks.
Your meal is ready.
I'm so full.
Ma'am, we'll pay now.
Yes, just a minute!
- Thank you.
- Yes!
- Let's do 2nd round!
- I'll get your bill!
You should've called first,
this is the busiest hour.
You ignored my texts.
And wouldn't let me
go to the trial.
Why should you?
There's nothing for you to see.
Nothing wrong, is there?
Fight with your boyfriend?
He seemed like a decent kid.
Right.
But I got sick of him
and dumped him.
- How long were you dating?
- Doesn't matter.
What about you?
Did you do well?
Of course!
Hey, I'm Han Mido.
With my words, I blocked,
jabbed, and did a spinning kick...
- What's wrong with you?
- Don't! I'll take care of this.
- Put this on.
- Huh?
Go wash those dishes.
See them?
Do them all.
Noori, go to Dad.
Noori, bring the clothes you'll wear.
...child sex offenders very
often repeat their crimes.
What is it?
We were the first to start
a petition at our school,
but we never imagined
it'd grow into a national petition.
Petition Gets 300,000 Signatures
Petition Gets 300,000 Signatures
But despite strong support,
it was not enough to prevent
Hwang's return.
YouTubers Protesting Protection of Criminal
YouTubers Protesting Protection of Criminal
Some angry YouTubers
confronted police at his home,
causing disturbance
to local residents.
Noori, come here.
He'll have an ankle monitor
and be tracked through an app,
but I wonder if that's enough...
Noori, what's with you today?
Noori! You running from Su-h*?
Dad, if you keep this up
she'll never listen to me.
- It's okay.
- Come here, Noori.
10 minutes in the time-out chair.
- No!
- No nursery school.
- You laughing? I'm not joking.
- Su-h*, you were even worse.
- No, she really...
- Right?
She needs to learn.
- Hold on, what is this?
- I don't know.
It's a mosquito bite.
This isn't a bite,
someone pinched her.
No way.
Noori, who did this?
There's nowhere else
she could get hurt.
She only stays here
and at home.
But last time too,
the manager checked
all the CCTV footage,
and there was nothing.
And it doesn't seem to me
like such a serious wound.
This isn't serious?
Then how big a wound
does it have to be to be serious?
Look, if this isn't serious...
Then do other families just
ignore something like this?
So what exactly counts
as serious, and what's not?
I just really don't know.
I need to know, don't I?
I need to know...
There, it's okay.
Nothing we can do,
it was impossible from the start.
Right, honestly
how could we stop it?
b*stard served his sentence.
Still, at least he'll have that
ankle monitor, and a police guard.
But isn't that ridiculous?
Waste of tax money.
Better to just execute him.
Wow, apples!
Why the apple?
Me too!
Wow, thank you so much.
Apples are so expensive
these days.
Totally.
A 'world expensive golden apple'.
What are these apples?
Ms. Yang said to give us each one.
Look at them all.
I'm fine, you take it.
Whatever, you deal with it.
Hey Da-mi, you take it!
Right, Jooin doesn't eat apples.
Why not? Are you allergic?
Don't think so,
she just doesn't like them.
Really?
Yeah.
Never seen a person
hate apples.
Aren't apples
too ordinary to hate?
That's right.
Why don't you like them?
The smell? Taste?
Or the texture?
Or you ate one and got sick?
If something bad happens to you,
your body remembers it.
Jooin, did you ever have
a bad experience with apples?
Something that could
leave a trauma...
Why are you asking that?
Sorry, didn't mean
to make you uncomfortable.
Oh I was so dumb!
- Sorry.
For what?
- I'll eat all of these!
- Let's go the bathroom.
- My bladder's going to burst!
- To the bathroom...
I'm just going because I need to,
don't pay any attention.
I'll eat these, thank you!
Where are you going?
Wait up!
Jooin, where are you going?
Are you sick?
Hey, Jooin! Jooin!
Where is she going?
Where are yo you going?
Is she going home?
Jooin, are you really fine?
Or do you just
want to believe you are?
What's the real you?
Is there anything real about you?
Wait, shouldn't you go?
You said
Hae-in's show is today.
That's right. Look at me.
What time is it?
You'll be late, hurry.
You're checking the CCTV?
I'll finish checking,
and when Su-h*'s dad comes...
I'll finish up.
Sorry to ask, but could you
buy me some stomach medicine?
Does it hurt a lot? Oh no.
- I'll give you my card.
- No need, I'll be right back.
Thank you.
- Kids, let's go to the classroom!
- Okay.
Let's go.
To the classroom...
Teacher.
Yeah?
Does it hurt a lot?
No, I'm fine.
No, it looks like it hurts.
No, it doesn't hurt.
Does it hurt when I do this?
If it hurts, say so.
Lying makes it hurt more.
Then does this hurt?
And this?
And this?
And this?
It really hurts?
It really hurts.
But where does it hurt?
From this silk... amazingly...
a flower...
a flower...
appears!
Thank you.
I put it in the box...
In the box...
Amazingly, it appears...
like this!
Now, as we promised before,
an even more amazing trick!
If you write down your worries,
concerns or troubles here,
our magician Hae-in
will solve them for you.
What will you write?
What about you, Grandma?
Did you write it?
No, I don't know
what to write.
Still, this is a secret.
"My brother is a jerk."
That was you, wasn't it?
Put them in here
and pass it on.
Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
Please fix my dad's smelly feet!
Hae-in?
- Yes.
Good luck.
Now, all of your worries
and troubles in this box...
I'll make them disappear.
They'll never return again.
Now...
Abracadabra!
All your worries and troubles,
disappear forever!
What's that?
Something fell down!
It's all fake!
Okay, ladies and gentlemen...
He did great, right?
A round of applause!
Give him a hand!
It's OK! It's OK!
- Grandma!
- Grandma!
Where's Mom?
They're operating now.
- Her gallbladder burst.
- Gallbladder?
It's okay, it'll be over soon.
It's okay.
It was serious,
but she was very lucky.
We safely removed
the gallbladder.
But she shows early signs
of alcoholic liver cirrhosis.
How much does
she usually drink?
I'm not sure.
My daughter doesn't really drink.
With no gallbladder it can
be managed if treated early,
but liver cirrhosis can easily
develop into cancer.
Is there any family history of this?
Family history?
If a family member
has shown similar symptoms,
it may increase the risk
of alcoholic dependency.
Mom...
You win, ma'am.
You're just being generous.
You got a great deal.
Even so,
how could you walk up to her
during the trial? It's crazy.
That's my special skill.
Did you see them all
flinch out of fear?
But why do they always ask
the exact same questions?
At my trial, the lawyer kept asking
why I took money from my brother.
I remember.
Your husband nearly lost it.
That mild-mannered guy?
After the trial, he stormed up
angrily to that lawyer,
stood right in front of him,
huffing and puffing.
Then what happened?
- All he did was glare.
- What?
What the hell?
After huffing and puffing?
I really thought
there'd be a fight.
But I can't believe
they ruled not guilty.
I knew it, the judge at that trial
was sketchy as hell.
So what'll you do?
We appealed right away...
I don't know.
Mido, don't worry.
Mine was overturned on appeal too.
The truth will win.
That's right.
- Of course!
If not I'm going to
body slam that judge.
In-joo, be honest.
You're taking out all your frustration
at never having a trial?
Of course.
I'll make your dad pay
for my dad's sins as well.
I'll get all the revenge I can.
Hello? Who's this?
Let me look.
- What's with the video call?
- Hello
- In-joo...
- Ji-yeon!
I gave birth this morning.
- Oh my god! You had a baby?
- Yeah.
I thought I would die.
When was this?
Congratulations!
- Good work.
- Did you have seaweed soup?
Tae Kwon! Hello, Coach.
Hi there.
- Hello.
- Hello.
VWho are you?
I'm Ji-wan's friend.
Oh yeah?
How do you kids always
find the stuff I hide?
I know all about you, Coach.
Yeah. Have this too.
Nice! There's a lot.
Kids, go eat in there
away from the paint smell.
Okay!
Grab everything. The coke too.
This looks good.
Go in and eat.
Do you have ice cream too?
No ice cream!
Stop eating, will you?
Oh my.
You don't need to paint
down there.
I don't mind doing
We have extra paint anyway.
Yeah.
But someone owns
that part down there.
Leave that and just do the top.
Look at those kids.
Hey, who spilled this?
Look at this.
It wasn't me!
- Get out here.
- I told you not to.
Look at these,
aren't they pretty?
What?
Ms. Tae-sun!
Why did you buy flowers again?
They're pretty.
Sure enough, it's menopause.
It's pretty, sure.
Dad: Jooin, is Mom okay?
Want to visit during vacation?
- Hey Jooin!
- What?
Bring the cards from my room.
Lee Hae-in, you ordering
your godlike sister around?
Help! Help!
Where are they?
- Where?
- I don't know, the desk?
Where?
In the black envelope.
Hurry up and get them, hurry!
Please.
Please.
- Huh? Mom, Mom!
- Yeah?
Nice job.
To: Lee Jooin
From: Uncle Lee, Cheongsong Prison
Uncle, this is Hae-in.
Stop sending letters to my sister.
I wish you would just disappear.
- It's done! Amazing!
- Mom!
Who will bring me some squid?
Me!
The doctor said
not to eat greasy food!
Why don't you listen?
- It's fine, I won't die.
- Your squid!
Jooin, the cards?
Get over here, you!
- Clean your room!
- Help! Mom, help me!
- You brat!
- It's late, quiet down.
What the hell?
Noori told me to.
You've got one left!
Huh?
Where'd she go?
Ah hell.
What are you doing?
What is this?
You told me to look at you.
So I looked.
I looked...
but not much to see!
You're pretty ugly, actually.
Hey, let me look.
How ugly?
This is bad.
Cheer up!
With some effort,
your appearance can improve.
Hey!
- Why? Don't give up!
- Come here, you!
Aside from these,
did you receive anything else?
Text messages or calls?
There was nothing else.
I guess they're sick of me now.
Anyway, if this happens again,
tell me right away, okay?
Don't stew on your own
and skip school again.
Yes.
Why'd I have to
go and tell everyone?
I need to control
my temper, right?
Did you think of a vocation?
But this is really so hard.
Of course.
You think you can tell
what the future will be like?
Okay, go in and take a break
before the other kids come.
Listen, for the cramps...
This totally works.
Wait, here.
Oh yeah! Thanks!
I'll be on periods every day!
Desired Vocation: Love
Love?
I want to enjoy romance
and live a life full of love.
Jooin, I'm sorry.
I just wanted to know the truth.
Actually, I'm like you.
I also went through that
when I was young.
But I'm different from you.
For me, it's still happening.
While watching you,
I suddenly became curious...
What would happen
if I told the truth?
Could I live a real life like you?
I can no longer stand
keeping silent.
So before it's too late,
I'd like to tell my story.
You'll never know who I am,
but I'll remember you always.
Thank you, Lee Jooin.
Hey, do your best, okay?
I'm sorry, really.

What? "It wasn't that bad"?
Sorry, sorry. I apologize.
Hey, you!
Hey, calm down!
Jooin, go easy on me!
