Basketball
Min Chi Ho!
The basketball genius, Min Chi Ho!
Basketball genius, Min Chi Ho! The sports gentleman, Min Chi Ho!
Will he once again swiftly score the points to bring home another victory today?
Min Chi Ho!
No! Min Chi Ho is a bad person.
Min Chi Ho is just a puppet for all the Japanese propaganda!
Hey, kid.
If Min Chi Ho truly is just a puppet for the Japanese...
then do you think that all these Koreans
here would be cheering Min Chi Ho on?
Min Chi Ho! Min Chi Ho!
Father.
Why are you going so far away?
What if you go so far away that you never find your way back to me?
See? Even this famous man says he recommends it.
I'm going to go and make lots of money...
so that my Byeo Ri...
can get married to a wonderful man, okay?
No!
Min Chi Ho is an awful man!
My father was taken away from me because of Min Chi Ho!
Let go!
Let me go, you buttholes!
Bok Joo!
Bok Joo... Bok Joo!
Let go. Let go of me!
Enough.
Let's go.
Bok Joo.
Wake up, Bok Joo!
Bok Joo.
Grandmother...
- Grandmother. - Bok Joo.
Bok Joo.
Bok Joo... Bok Joo.
How do you work this thing? Is it working?
Oh my goodness.
Everyone.
How is everyone doing in this cold weather? I hope everyone is staying healthy.
The reason we're here...
is to do some important work that the government is trying to do.
But...
if you can't be helpful to this nation as citizens of this country...
don't you think that you should at least stop being a nuisance?
Yes.
Let me tell you about the situation that you're in.
I promise you that nothing good will come out of
any of you trying to stick around here instead of leaving as you're told.
I'll take your silence as your agreement to
be cooperative with our nation's problem
and I will now leave.
And to the elders...
Everyone be careful not to catch a cold.
Remember that health is most important.
I'll be leaving now.
Okay, let's go.
- Let's go eat some meat. - Yes, Sir.
You're not even human.
How can you consider yourself human after what you've just done!
Hey.
- Why are you acting like this? - I thought you said it was government work.
You call beating defenseless people and destroying their homes government work?
Do you have any idea what my home means to me?
This is your home?
- You're telling me you live here? - What?
I didn't know. I really didn't know.
Had I known, I wouldn't have done what I did.
It's not like I'm some crazy lunatic, why would I destroy my own family's home?
You think not knowing makes everything okay?
You think it's okay just because you didn't know after hurting my friend?
What did you say?
Even your friend was hurt?
Who was it?
Did you do it? Did you do it?
Who dared to touch San's friend?
You bastards.
Don't worry.
From now on... they're never going to touch your friend again.
I'll make sure to warn them.
This isn't easy for me either, okay?
Do you think I like doing this?
The government people threatened to kill them if they don't move from here.
So what am I supposed to do here?
San.
I know exactly how you feel.
Who are we supposed to blame when this is
all happening because we're so powerless?
Don't you think that we need to lean on each other more during times like this?
Okay.
Why don't you go home to get some rest, and just come back tomorrow?
If you want to get paid... don't you think you should work hard?
Okay?
It's over.
You and I... it's over between us.
There's no reason for us to see each other again
so you just keep that in mind.
Who says?
Did you forget that you owe me?
You won't be able to end anything with me until you pay me back.
What to do?
Oh my goodness.
Block him.
I'm open.
Has Min Chi Ho done something... really awful to you?
Hey.
I don't know how I can help you if you keep your mouth sealed tight like that.
Do you not want to talk?
Stop the car.
Why don't you let me take you back home? I'll drive you back home.
I said, stop the car right now.
Although I can understand
that you may feel a bit defensive since I'm
being so inquisitive on our first meeting
but all I was trying to do was help you...
I don't need it.
If you ever change your mind, feel free to reach me at the magazine.
Here. See my phone number on the card?
Why do you keep talking to me like you're my big sister?
I'm an only daughter.
Wow... what a temper for such a tiny thing.
Hey!
Why don't you take this money get buy yourself a pair of shoes?
Byeo Ri.
What in the world happened here?
Wook's father.
Has something happened?
Are you asking because you really don't know?
Look here.
You shouldn't have raised your son like that.
No matter how poor he grew up
there are things that he should do, and things that he should never do.
Just because you're wearing a human mask doesn't always make you human.
Don't you even fear God?
What? What are you talking about right now?
Your good for nothing son is the culprit who
caused all this havoc here in our home!
So go and ask your son yourself!
Excuse me.
Who's that?
Kang San.
If they're going to pay out compensation, they should give it to everyone.
Why are they only giving it to just ten families?
Do they think that other families' homes aren't even considered homes?
Don't you think that this is all just a part of their plan to shake us up?
Why else do you think they're offering to pay
compensation to the first ten families that move out of here?
Then... do you have any other plans?
We should all just pick up and move while
they're offering to pay us anything at all.
Say what?
Are you saying that you don't care about anyone else as long as you can survive?
- Is that it? - What?
- Is that so wrong? - You rotten bastard!
Elder...
- What you're doing isn't right. - Listen to the way you're talking to me.
You think you're all grown up now, is that it?
- Let go of me! - Why are you guys acting like this?
At that moment...
the young man's face was glowing with the bright hue of love...
and an angelic smile could be seen in the gentle smile of his eyes.
He...
has forgotten about me...
but still set my heart on fire...
as if he was throwing fuel to an already burning fire.
He could no longer endure it.
Ah... blow up, my heart. Bleed out, my blood.
My body... become cold as ice.
He...
couldn't even face Misao as if he was facing the Imperial emperor himself....
and no words would come from his lips either.
He...
knew that this person...
was... the person that he fell in love with.
Right! That's right! Don't you all agree?
Everyone.
Please welcome Secretary Commissioner, Ono San.
Please give a round of warm applause for
this brilliant writer, Lee Gun Ho, I mean, Gayama Nohara.
There's a limit to how much one person can disregard another person's attempt.
How could she have left before the first half was even over?
Well, it's understandable.
Didn't you tell me the reporter never even liked basketball to begin with?
And you brought that kid to the game by force.
Just whose side are you on anyway?
Are you a kid? To be asking whose side I'm on?
It's just because their actions were so rude and ludicrous.
Okay, fine.
I'll take care of that little kid first...
and I'll take care of that woman after.
That woman...
Okay, everyone get in line!
If the size doesn't fit, then come exchange it for the right size.
- Come stand in line! - We've got a pair for everyone.
Can I have a pair too?
Don't you know to wait your turn? Next time, you have to wait your turn, okay?
Everyone come get a pair!
In Soo.
What do you think that woman is doing right now?
Relief for the poor? Volunteer work.
Social work?
It's just that she looks like she's never done a thing like that in her life.
Fascinating.
Grandfather.
You have to blow your nose if it's runny. You can't keep licking it up like that.
Here. Go on and blow your nose.
Come on, blow.
Blow harder.
Hey.
Take these.
I had to guess on the size, so I'm not sure how well they'll fit.
Wouldn't you like to try them on?
Just like you, I'm an only daughter too.
I used to ask my mom to give me
a little sister who was as pretty as me when I was younger.
I guess I asked her that all the time.
I was reminded of that when I saw you
and I guess that's why I was acting like
your big sister without even realizing it.
I'm sorry if that offended you.
I know that these may not be the best quality...
but I'm sure that they'll help make this cold weather a little more bearable.
I'll be going now then, okay?
There you two are.
You left without even watching the first half of the game.
You disappointed me.
Kid.
Is the misunderstanding all resolved now?
Do I still look like just another puppet to those Japanese bastards to you?
Look here. What are you doing to that little child?
What did I do?
What have you done to her that would make her
retreat away from you in fear like that?
What awful thing have you done to that little child?
Awful thing?
Look here.
What kind of a person do you take me for?
Are you alright?
Oh my goodness. You're bleeding.
We should get you to the hospital.
Bong Soon!
Here.
Oh my goodness.
It's a bottle of facial lotion!
I'm sure this must've been very expensive.
It wasn't that expensive.
You know that government job that I just recently took?
I got complimented and rewarded for a job well done.
They say that even a rat lives to see its day.
I guess things are going to start getting better for you in your life, Yoon Bae.
It's not just my life that's going to get better.
Your life is going to get better too now.
Whatever happens in Gong Yoon Bae's life happens in your life too.
Come over here.
What are you doing?
Mi Sook will be back from her delivery soon.
She won't be back for a while.
- I'm telling you, she'll be back soon. - Tell her to come back later.
I'm back.
Mi Sook is back.
Look at what you're doing.
Fooling around behind closed doors in the middle of the day like this.
Nice going... not!
How dare you point your finger at us.
What's that?
This is... face lotion!
This is said to make even a fifty year old
woman's skin look young and fresh again.
- The miraculous face lotion! - There you go starting with that again.
Even the tiger doesn't walk around with a bare face anymore.
We guarantee a youthful skin full of vitality.
The tight and beautiful skin is guaranteed by
this miracle lotion for women of all ages!
Your miracle skin lotion.!
Stop with all that nonsense and give it back. Give it back to me right now.
- No, I don't want to. - Give it back!
I don't want to!
You little sass!
That sass of yours is quick.
San. What's wrong?
Is something wrong?
It's all the money that I've borrowed from you.
Now that I've paid you back
there's no need for us to see each other ever again.
You think you can just leave after saying whatever it is that you've got to say?
Don't you think that calmly sitting down together at a table
to hear out whatever it is that your opponent may have to say...
the least you could do to be polite?
That won't even cover the interest.
Take a look.
This is your promissory note.
The ink isn't even dry yet.
You bastard!
What are you doing?
Let go of me. Let go of me right now.
Want to take this to the police?
Are you hungry?
I know that they'd feed you beans and rice.
Crawl your way back to work for me again.
Do it while I'm still being nice.
What do you think you'll be able to do when
you don't even have a high school education?
You seem to think that you're Min Chi Ho or something
just because you can play some ball, but you can't even compare.
You've got all that useless
sense of pride when you don't even have two cents to rub together.
I can't give you any more than that.
Whether you take that or not... that's up to you.
That bastard comes out strong.
Come on, move faster.
We have to hurry if we're going to get that compensation money.
Come on, let's go.
- Are you sure we'll get our compensation? - That's right.
We're one of the first ten families to move out of here.
Bok Joo.
We need to talk.
Little boy.
What's wrong with grandma?
What about Bok Joo? Where's Bok Joo right now?
Go! I don't want you here.
They told me you're a bad person.
They told me that you're the one who did this to my grandma.
Don't lay a finger on my grandma.
Bok Joo told me that he's going to go find some medicine for her.
Get away! Get away from us.
Grandma!
Don't come any closer!
You awful bastard.
Grandma!
Grandma.
I have a sick patient. Over here.
We need some help.
Over here.
Please help us. She's in critical condition.
Everyone here is in critical condition.
You have to wait your turn.
Stay here and keep an eye on grandma. I'm going to go seek out another hospital.
San!
Grandma.
- Did you bring any money? - Can you please treat her first?
I'll do whatever I can to get the money together...
Please help us. She's in critical condition.
We don't have any more room.
That's San.
Do it quickly. They're all going to get rusty.
Give me back that money.
I'll come back to work for you... so give me back that money!
You can take this with you.
Aren't you going to come with us?
I have practice, so I have to get back to school.
- Then you should take this... - No, it's okay.
I think it's going to keep raining for a while.
You should take it with you.
Thank you.
Wait.
Here.
I know that you don't have a handkerchief.
Because you used yours to help that elder blow his nose earlier.
Use it to wipe some of the rain from your face on your way home.
It would be even better if you stopped by
your house to change out of your wet clothes.
Yes, I can take care of myself.
Yes, well...
I'm sure you can take care of yourself.
Go ahead and take care of yourself then.
I can't even say anything.
What a weird man.
Min Chi Ho is a bad person.
Someone like you... shouldn't associate with Min Chi Ho.
is Ms. Choi still not here?
The deadline is right around the corner, but I can't even get a hold of her!
- Where in the world is she! - Breaking news!
Breaking news article on Min Chi Ho!
Breaking news article on Min Chi Ho, still hot off the press.
It's not time yet, right? I'm not late, right?
No, of course not. You're here right on time.
Here, we have to move fast to get this sent
over to the printing company right now.
You have to move quickly. Right now!
Editor. This article is going to be really huge.
Yes, of course. Yes, of course!
Of course, it'll be huge. This is an article on Min Chi Ho, the star!
I'm proud of you.
Ms. Choi, you've made me very proud.
That was nothing.
But... I heard that Min Chi Ho schemed poor
people into being dragged to slave labor.
Just a moment.
Just a moment, okay?
Hello?
Good work, Shin Young.
Thank you for the compliment, but I only did what I had to do as a reporter.
By the way... has anyone called asking for me?
I think there might've been a phone call for you a while back.
- I think it was a man. - Seriously?
Just a moment, please.
Hello?
Boarding house?
No, it's not.
Hello?
Are you by any chance looking for Kang San?
That boy, San...
He's always been so busy going to school, and
working so he could take care of his mother.
But his mother recently collapsed
and he had to spend all the money he had
saved up for tuition on her hospital bills.
He's stuck in a pretty difficult situation right now.
I had no idea.
I didn't know that something like that had happened to San.
San, that boy...
I don't think he's able to see you anymore.
He's spent his whole life never caring to know anything about any women
but he hasn't been able to stop smiling ever since he met you.
It's even made me so happy to see how happy he's been lately.
Money is the real enemy here.
Maybe I've told you too much.
It's just that I was worried that you might
wait around desperately for San to call you.
I wasn't really sure how I should come out and tell you all that.
No, it's okay. Thank you for telling me.
Then I think I should just get going now.
- Wait. - Yes, you were saying?
- Is there any way I can be of any help? - Well, there is a way...
Please make sure to relay my message to San, and tell him to stay strong.
Yes, of course I will.
I feel so reassured to have you around.
- Excuse me? - Huh?
No, it's nothing. I'll make sure to give him your message.
Then I'll just be going now.
The thing is...
That boy, San of ours... he has such a strong sense of pride
and I know he'll throw a fit if he finds out that you've lent him this money.
I'm not sure what to do.
What do you think about keeping this a secret just between the two of us?
Hmm?
Okay.
You know what keeping a secret means, right?
Excuse me.
What can I help you with?
Um... I'm San's mother.
I was told that my San used to work here.
Would you happen to know where he is right now?
Mother, you're here.
Are you here to see San?
I'll tell you where he is. I know where San is.
I've heard so much about you from San.
Let's go.
That idiotic sass.
Soo Dong! Soo Dong!
Jang Soo Dong... wins!
Soo Dong! Soo Dong!
Ouch, that hurts.
Everyone who bet their money on Jang Soo Dong and won money...
come over here and get your money!
This is a scheme. Who are you trying to fool?
I know that you guys planned this out. This is all just a scheme!
You think it makes sense that the unbeatable Kang San
would lose to Jang Soo Dong in basketball?
Quite down!
You never know what could happen. That's the thrill of any type of sports.
A world where you never know how the game will end and who'll end up the winner.
- Yesterday's winner can be today's loser... - What a bunch of bull!
Do you think that I'm an idiot?
Give me back my money. My money!
What are you doing? Huh?
What are you doing?
I think that this guy might have had too much to drink.
You buttholes! Don't put your hands on me.
Give me back my money.
- Give me back my money! - Okay, everyone come and get it.
If you wait too long, there will be nothing left for you!
Hey, Kang San.
Why don't you leave?
This is it.
This is where San works.
Why don't you go in and take a look?
Mother! I hope you and San have a great time.
Get up. Get up, you butthole.
There you are.
You need to try doing things like this too now.
You're a part of the family now, aren't you?
Beat him.
I said, beat him!
I think words will be plenty enough for him to understand.
You're not going to be so careless with your words anymore, are you?
No, I won't.
No.
Are we done now?
If you won't do it...
then we'll just do it ourselves.
Why don't you just watch?
Hey.
Who do you think you are?
You think you're that great? Huh?
How dare you talk back every time when
you're young enough to be still in diapers?
Just how old are you?
Huh!
I just asked how old you are, you butthole!
Even without you jerks adding to it... I've got more than I can handle right now.
So... don't provoke me.
I said, don't provoke me!
San.
What...
are... you doing?
Just what is this that you're doing right now!
Is this why you quit school?
Is this why!
No matter... what others said...
I told them that they were wrong.
That my son...
may do some things...
but I told them that you're not someone who'd go around beating people.
But...
Were they telling me the truth?
Did you...
really do all that?
Did you really...
cause Bok Joo's grandmother...
to pass away?
Grandmother!
Bok Joo.
You butthole.
- How dare you come here! - Don't do this, Bok Joo.
San was the one who came up with the money for Grandma's hospital bills.
Shut your mouth!
You...
You killed her!
- Calm down. - I said, you killed her!
Calm down.
You awful butthole. You killed my grandmother!
You killed her!
Awful jerk. You awful bum!
You killed her! You know that!
Awful butthole! You butthole!
It's still not too late.
Start living like a decent human being.
Please live like a decent human being.
I promise you I'm going to kill you myself!
What else do you want from me?
What else do you all want from me!
You're the one who killed her!
San.
Kang San, that jerk.
I won't let him get away with this.
If you won't let him get away with it... what are you going to do about it?
I have to teach him a lesson.
- We have to show him we're boss. - You're right.
Kyungsung University, my butt!
Are you just getting back?
Ah, this?
I just pulled it out because I thought that you might be looking for it.
Earlier during the day...
that rich man's daughter called for you.
Who?
Shin Young?
Yeah.
Yeah, it was her.
She just hung up when we told her you weren't here.
She really seem to be smitten with you.
Seeing how you never call her yourself, but she keeps calling here for you.
Yong Goo.
Why don't you go find a woman like that too?
You should go out and find a rich woman so that we can start living a better life.
Of course, you're right.
A woman like that is like living the fairytale life for scoundrels like us.
Take good care of the uniform.
This is absurd.
How could this be?
How?
How could you have written an article like this?
Reporter Kang. Call the printing company right now.
Call them and cancel the article that we
dropped off for them to print immediately.
No, I'll do that myself.
No, no. We have to go to the government office first.
Reporter Kang. Call and cancel the printing of the article
and get ready to write up a retraction.
Choi Shin Young.
I had no idea that you were interested in things like this.
Reporter Kang.
How did this happen?
- How could my article... - It's not like this is the first time.
But I guess... there was no chance of your article getting screened, was there?
Shin Young.
You want to print this article just the way it is, don't you?
Do you want me to show you how you can stand up to the censorship bureau?
Make sure to spread these out all over the city.
So that as many people as possible gets to see this article. Do you understand?
Shin Young.
San!
San.
Let's find ourselves a rich girl so that we can start living a better life too.
A girl like that would be like living a fairytale for scoundrels like us.
I have a lot of classes today.
- I won't be able to drive you around today. - Okay.
- Be careful driving. - Okay.
And watch your temper.
- I told you that I got it! - And watch out for women.
Come on, seriously. What do you take Min Chi Ho for?
I take you to be Min Chi Ho.
You ran around in the rain to go all the way to the department store
just so that you could get an umbrella to give to some girl.
- It's because no shops were nearby. - No shops were nearby?
In Namchon where every street and corner are lined up with shops?
My eyesight must be deteriorating.
You got a letter.
What is it?
An order to change our names? Even though they say that
it's voluntary... I'm sure you'll have to do it eventually.
When do you want to do it?
Have you lost your mind?
I have enough trouble as is with some people
thinking that I'm a Japanese puppet...
and now you want me to change my name?
Let's take our time and think about it since we've still got some time left.
In Soo...
I'm Min Chi Ho.
Son of Pyeonyang's Min Tae Shin, Min Chi Ho.
Don't you know that?
Throw that out immediately.
Don't you dare change your name either. I'll never forgive you if you do!
Did... Min Chi Ho really do this?
That child lost her father because of Min Chi Ho
and she now lives alone with the homeless people in the beggar alley.
I really wanted to tell that child's story to as many people as I could.
But the government office forbid my article from being published.
Is there...
anything that I could be of help with?
Will you join us?
Breaking news! Read all about it!
Breaking news! Read all about it! Get your news right here!
Breaking news!
One.
Two.
One.
Two.
Take a little break.
Byun Shin Joon. What do you think you're doing?
Where have you been to just show up now?
Coach... sorry I'm late.
But... my name is no longer Byun Shin Joon.
If Byun Shin Joon is no longer Byun Shin Joon...
then what did you do? Change your name into something else?
My name from now on is Takeshi Yoshi, of Imperial Japan.
I just got done having my name legally changed and had it officially registered.
- Ta da! - Whatever, Byun Shin Joon.
Since you're late, 100 duck waddles. Get started.
Coach.
I just told you that my name is Takeshi.
Haven't you even heard of the saying, 'Japanese and Korean as one'?
Imperial Japan and Joseon Korea are one entity now.
There's no more need for our Korean names anymore.
Are you going to do the duck waddles with your lips?
Did you not hear me telling you to get started?
Hey.
Two-faced Min Chi Ho!
Since the pride of the people, Min Chi Ho has two faces...
have you ever considered having two different names?
- What are you talking about? - The pride of the people, Min Chi Ho...
What are your thought on the call to change our names?
Well... I guess you could call is a freedom
to change your name, if you can call it that.
Everything is all good and all...
but don't you think that the name, Takeshi, is a little too common?
What?
How about the name, Inunoko?
Inu...noko?
That is pretty unique.
There. Here's your name.
You bastard.
Why? Don't you like it?
What about it don't you like? The last name? The name itself?
Hey.
How can the Japanese and Joseon Koreans be one and the same?
How can they be one?
Just live with the name you were given.
Aren't you even ashamed of yourself?
Hey, you jerk!
Japanese propaganda puppet, Min Chi Ho.
Even though I may change my name... I don't scheme people like you do.
- Are you hallucinating or something? - Hey, you jerk.
I heard that you tricked poor people into being dragged off into forced labor?
The nation's most popular sports star, Min Chi Ho
is rumored to be acting as a secret front man
for Japan and their plans for domination.
Lives were risked to find out the truth behind his double sided life.
Min Chi Ho deceived the poor citizens of
this country who couldn't afford to pay rent
and took the lead in dragging them off into
forced labor through lies and deceit...
- What is that? - What was that?
- What is that? - What are you talking about?
The newspaper is printing up a bunch of nonsense just to sell some papers.
What do you mean, nonsense?
Can't you see the reporter's name printed right here on the paper?
Modern Women's Magazine, Choi Shin Young.
Don't you see that?
[Sejong Road in Seoul.]
This is your first time meeting with the Secretary Commissioner, isn't it?
Don't get a big head just because he pays you a few compliments
and don't act like you know something because
he mentions something you know about.
Talking too much won't do you any good anyway.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Yes.
Modesty. And even more modesty.
Make sure to keep that in mind, okay?
Wow... Choi Je Gook sure is moving up in the world.
A lowly obscure factory owner getting summoned by a high ranking official.
Don't let any of your tackiness show...
and try to act like you've got class, okay?
You know what would happen if you smear mud on my reputation, don't you?
- I will do as you'd like. - Yes, you will.
It's all the hard earned money that the lowly obscure factory owner earned...
that put you in that position, you bastard.
- Have a seat. - Thank you.
- Your name is... Choi Je Gook? - Yes.
- Why is your name still Choi Je Gook? - Pardon me?
I'm talking about your name.
Wasn't the Imperial Japan...
generous enough to open the door for you Joseon Koreans
so that you yourselves could become a part of the elite Japanese race?
I beg your pardon.
But I'm reflecting within myself to see if I'm prepared to take on that honor
that the emperor has bestowed upon me.
Until I have determined that I'm fit to take
on that honor as a citizen of this new nation
and until it is deemed that I am a man of honor and integrity fit of that honor
I believe that I'm still unfit to take on the honor of having a Japanese name.
Then... how long are you saying that this process is going to take?
How can I expect myself not to give everything I have your His Majesty?
But I vow that I'll do my best to ensure that
I become deserving of his grace and honor.
How long have you been working under Yoon Deok Myung?
It's been... 12 years now.
A man with quick mind, work ethics and talent
for another language such as yourself...
why are you still working for Yoon?
He is...
like a father figure to me.
The person that any man wants to kill the most...
is their own father.
That was a joke.
What is it that you want?
You took very good care of my problem in the Oomachon village.
Since you did something for me...
it's now my turn to do something for you.
Tell me what it is that you want.
It's a chance to build up this city.
Are you telling me that you don't want to follow the policies of this government?
The state that this city is in right now...
is not fit in any way to receive the honor that the emperor has bestowed upon us.
Even past the borders of Korea into the borders of Manchuria...
I will reform all the land and the people in it
to serve His Majesty in a way that's deserving of his grace.
Please... give me the chance.
Take me to Elder Yoon's house immediately.
- I'm sorry. - For what?
It seems as though Ms. Shin Young wrote that article.
You must be cold.
Shall we shut the window?
I really appreciate your help today.
Don't even mention it.
You are... a very good driver.
No, I'm not that good.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I didn't call you back right away after the last time.
I understand that you're busy.
I at least...
wanted to do this for you.
Shin Young!
Where's Reporter Choi Shin Young?
I told you we had nothing to do with it.
We don't know that either. We can't get a hold of her either.
That's what I'm telling you!
Who's in charge of this place?
That's... me. What is this about?
As of this day... this magazine is being put on suspension.
What do you mean, suspension? What are you talking about?
Wait, wait a minute!
[Emergency contact list for the Modern Women employees.]
I'm sorry.
You must've been so shocked.
Are you sure... that you don't need to go to the hospital?
I'm more worried about you.
I'm worried that you may have been injured because of my foolishness.
I'm fine.
I had no idea... that Min Chi Ho was that kind of a person.
I had no idea either.
What they say about never fully getting to know a person must be true.
The truth is...
Min Chi Ho was an idol of mine, and who I've always wanted to be like.
Do you remember what I told you about... how I liked basketball?
Yes.
The truth is... I'm a pretty decent basketball player myself.
- Really? - For a long time now...
I've lived my whole life with basketball being the only hope in my life.
I had a goal...
of making the team and becoming a star basketball player like Min Chi Ho.
But that dream is now shattered.
Why?
At first...
I thought that all I lost was my chance to play basketball.
But I realized that wasn't the case.
When I was no longer able to play basketball...
everything came crumbling down, and became a ruin.
I feel like...
my whole life is crumbling down in shambles.
Um...
Is your mother's health that badly deteriorating?
Excuse me?
I heard that she's not well.
So I was just wondering if her health was deteriorating that badly.
Never mind.
This is my place.
Thank you so much for escorting me home.
Yes, of course.
Then, goodnight.
Wait, Shin Young.
No, never mind.
Goodnight.
A girl like that is like fairytale come true to scoundrels like us.

- You're nothing but a cheat and gambler. - What they say is true.
- You're nothing but a puppet to Japan. - Is your taste in men that low?
Pardon me for my rudeness at our first meeting
but did you know that your son is going around doing things like this?
What did you say? A puppet for the Japanese?
Let go. Let go of me right now.
- Don't you even have anything to do? - Don't worry.
Trust in your son just one more time.
This is my money. Give me back my money!
He's an illegal gambling cheater!
Even though this is all I am right now
I vow to become a man that everyone of Joseon Korea will be proud of.
- Are you sure that you don't like her? - Do I look crazy? She likes someone else!
You're... a basketball player?
