Today...
is a very meaningful day to me personally.
I, Choi Je Gook, the owner of the amateur team...
and my future son-in-law, Min Chi Ho, the star of the professional team...
as my daughter sits by on the sidelines to watch this meaningful game today...
the professional and the amateur team will decide who will take home the victory.
Anyway...
I hope that everyone enjoys the game.
What's going on here, Min Chi Ho? Is that announcement true?
- Please tell us what's going on. - Can you give us a comment?
- Is it true? - Are you two getting married?
Over there! That woman must be Choi Shin Young!
- San. - That woman is Choi Shin Young!
- Is that wedding announcement true? - Can you give us a comment?
My Lady. What is going on here?
What is this?
Then her babble about Min Chi Ho's two faces...
was it all a lover's quarrel?
Do you really think that you'll even be able to play against him in this game?
No matter how hard you run out there on the court
you can't play better than the top star
who I'm sure will be doing whatever he can
to look in best in front of his betrothed.
Do you think that you'd be able to stand up to him?
We will now start the game!
All the starting lineup players, please come up to the starting line.
Kim Yeon. Get ready for the lineup.
I'm going in.
The first goal has been scored at last.
I have no doubt that it was Min Chi Ho.
No, it was our team that scored.
Who's that player?
His name is Kang San. Kang San.
Min Chi Ho's newest rival!
Min Chi Ho!
Who is that kid?
His name is Kang San.
He's not our regular player. I had him play as sort of a tryout.
Go on and tell me.
What's he saying?
Ah, the Advisory Board?
How could that be going well when you're not there to oversee it?
You have to get back up on your feet, and come back to all of us.
A gun?
Ah, the Secretary Commissioner?
Of course! The Secretary Commissioner is doing very well.
Oh my... even bedridden like this, he's still worrying about our nation.
Oh my, it's enough to bring tears to my eyes.
Oh my, this is absolutely terrible. What are we going to do?
Do you have anything else to say?
That bastard.
Kang San! Kang San!
Who is that jerk?
Have you ever seen him before?
I thought you were just a newbie from Kyungsung University.
- But you're pretty good. - Is this your first time playing like this?
His name is Kang San?
- Where did he roll in from? - Who did you learn how to play from?
- He's good. - This is good.
Where have I seen him before?
He looks familiar to me.
[Nam In Soo- Songs that used to be popular
to encourage patriotism to the country.]
It could be any day now.
Elder Yoon.
Oh... you're here.
Say hello.
This is Earl Byun. He is like a brother to me.
This guy here is Choi Je Gook.
- You've heard me speak of him before. - Ah, yes.
Hello.
My name is Choi Je Goo, of the Seoul Circle.
It seems as though the day is near... for you to take the Vice Chairman's seat.
What did you say?
How dare you say something like that in front of an ailing person?
What an awful thing to say.
Don't you think so?
That's right, Choi Je Gook.
There are things you say, and things you should never say.
I know you don't really know him, but still. I hope no one heard you say that.
Please forgive me.
I wasn't thinking.
What a terrible thing to say at a time like this.
Hey.
All those reporters are hounding me to death over here.
What do you mean, engaged? Where in the world did that come from?
Did you know about it?
No, how could I have known about it.
That announcement was all his decision.
What is President Choi Je Gook thinking by
leaving after making such an announcement?
I wonder if there was a talk between him and your father.
I'm sorry! Coach, I'm so sorry.
You're here already?
The game isn't over yet. Go play some more and then come back.
I'm so sorry, Coach.
But my grandmother... she suddenly collapsed.
You told us that she passed away the last time.
Excuse me?
Ah... yes, my grandmother did pass away.
But it's my grandmother's sister.
Please be careful not to get a heart attack.
It is the biggest threat that older people have to face.
Wow... our seniors! You guys really are amazing.
San?
What are you doing here?
Hey, Chi Ho! Where are you going?
- Are you getting married? - Is the news of the engagement true?
What did you think of the first half? What did you think of Min Chi Ho's play?
- Can you give us a comment? - Is the engagement true?
When is the wedding?
Ms. Choi Shin Young!
- Where are you taking me? - We need to talk.
I don't have the time.
- But you have the time to go talk to him? - Why are you being like this?
I'm the one who should be getting angry right now.
Is he the only person you see right now?
Whatever it is that you and your father are up to is none of my business.
That's something that I should be saying. We're not up to anything!
We will now start the second half of the game.
Players from both teams needs to come out onto the court.
Let's finish this conversation after the game is over.
Okay?
- I told you that I have nothing to say. - Shin Young!
What more is there to say?
You don't even like me. In fact, you hate me!
So go and tell all the reporters.
Tell them that you and I are not getting married.
Just why in the world are you doing this to me?
What's going on here?
Are you a part of our team now?
How do you two know each other?
- We... - We...
We're from the same hometown.
Someone as flighty as you has a friend from Kyungsung University?
That's shocking.
Kyungsung University?
- Come and get it! - Everyone come get a pair of shoes!
You can't cut in line. You do that again, and no shoes for you, okay?
Kyungsung University?
How?
How did you get into Kyungsung University when
you didn't even graduate from high school?
I'm asking you how you got into the university.
You're not going to tell me, is that it?
I'm going to tell everyone here the truth.
Kang San over here isn't...
Since you already came all the way here by stealing someone else's spot...
then you should know to keep your mouth shut and not say a thing.
Ready.
Kyungsung University's Kang San! Good luck!
My Lady!
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm very persistent.
So why don't you just give me the interview?
What if she mistakenly thinks I like her just from having called her first?
You sure it's not that you don't like her?
Two minutes!
Two minutes left on the clock!
Get that guy off the court!
Is your gambling skills starting to come out now that you're feeling desperate?
Time!
Okay.
Our opponents are the best players in the field.
We already came this far against the best players in the field.
There's only two minutes left on the clock.
We just need to get through these last two minutes.
Min Chi Ho is a player with stellar offensive and defensive moves.
Once he gets through the defense, he'll
take it all the way home, you got that?
Okay.
- Let's do this! - Okay!
Kang San.
Even though this is just a practice game to us...
this is your tryouts.
There won't be a second chance.
You get what I'm saying?
For you...
I want to live my life the right way.
One of these days, I will become Korea's top basketball player.
Today, I...
I played hardest I have ever played in any of my other games in the past.
And...
I won.
All this honor...
I would like to dedicate it to...
Choi Shin Young, who's standing next to me.
Then are you admitting that the engagement is true?
Have you decided on the date?
- When did you two get engaged? - Is the news of engagement true?
Is the engagement true?
When is the wedding?
Wait!
- Can you give us a comment? - Please give us a comment.
Did the game go well?
Yes.
The game was a success, all thanks to you.
Everything is all thanks to me.
Oh my... all you say is thanks, but you never show anything for it.
Are you upset because of what I said to you in front of Earl Byun earlier?
- No, I'm not. - What do you mean, you're not?
Even though Earl Byun with nothing to contribute except for his big head...
he still is an aristocrat with royal blood in his veins.
You have to watch what you say around him.
Now that... you're going to take part in matters of this country too.
Matters of the country?
Why?
Don't you remember what I told you about
it being time for you to do something big?
Yes, of course.
I...
still have so much to learn from you.
I apologize for not understanding what you meant by it.
Hey, stop acting so coy, and just get ready to receive what's coming.
Thank you, Elder Yoon.
The seat for the Director of Joseon Federation has opened up.
Want to give it a try?
A man your age... it's time for you to serve your country.
It's not... a council seat in the Advisory Board?
You don't like it?
No, not at all.
Thank you.
Hey, Choi Je Gook.
You know that I care about you, don't you?
Once I become the Vice Chairman of the Advisory Board
who do you think I'll be recommending to take over my place?
That's going to be you, Choi Je Gook.
Start by doing a good job as the new Director of Joseon Confederation.
I'll...
be keeping my eye on you.
I promise not to disappoint you.
Okay.
Um...
- About earlier... - Did you want to get me back that badly?
That article I wrote after listening to Byeo Ri's story...
this is your way of getting revenge against me, isn't it?
No, it's not like that.
Then what else is it?
What are you going to do about this now?
When you totally disregarded me to make that
statement in front of all those people...
you must've had some sort of a plan as to how
you're going to take care of it, didn't you?
Did you really have to do it like this?
Did you really have to get me back like this?
Someone I like was there.
There was someone else there who cares and has feelings for me.
Did you even consider how it would make San
feel to hear the news of our engagement?
How could you be so selfish like that?
- How can you be so selfish? - Then what about you?
Have you ever given a thought to how I feel?
From the very first moment we met, until now...
all you've ever done is do whatever it is that you want to do.
You went around saying whatever it is that you wanted to say
and you thought whatever you wanted to think of me.
You wrote that false article without even checking out all the facts
and made a joke out of me.
Have you ever once taken into consideration
what kind of a position that would put me in?
Okay, fine.
I was trying to get back at you.
Just how dirty it made me feel
to hear all the filthy rumors going around about me that I had no control over...
I wanted you to experience what that's like for yourself.
Satisfied?
You're still here?
Thanks for your hard work.
Yes, thank you.
You can start work tomorrow.
I...
passed?
- You weren't bad. - Thank you!
Thank you!
One thing.
Stop your relationship with our lady.
She'll soon be getting engaged to someone else.
You really are an awful person.
What you did to Byeo Ri, and what you just did today.
You really are awful.
You think I'm just going to sit back and let you do this to me?
Why did you do that?
You weren't being sincere about it, were you?
What you're feeling...
You're serious, aren't you?
Then...
You need to start acting seriously too.
My Lady!
What about San?
- Did you look into it? - He made it.
He starts work tomorrow.
Really?
That's great!
That's so great!
What is all this?
I can't just sit back like an idiot and let father and that man do this to me.
I have to explain what's going on.
I'm going to write an article for the paper and reveal what's really going on.
I'm going to tell everyone that the news of the engagement is all false.
Have you lost your mind?
If you tell everyone that it was all a lie after announcing your engagement today
do you think that people would just nod their heads
and be understanding about it?
Who do you think the people are going to blame?
People are close to calling you a sly fox who seduced an innocent man
away from his family already.
But now they're going to say that you just dumped him
and that you abandoned him after using him.
They'll probably come up with even worse things to say about you.
Abandon? Who are you saying abandoned anyone?
There was nothing even there to even begin with.
That's not what's important here.
Do you think that all rumors are always based on the truth?
People are already busy going around gossiping about this.
So you need to be more cautious about how
you behave for the sake of your reputation.
I don't care... what happens to my reputation.
But...
What do I do about the pain that I've caused him?
What should I do about it, Bong Soon?
I need to go see him... but I can't even get a hold of him.
I really don't know what I should do.
The little Lady told me that she's feeling a little hungry
so I'm going to go get something from the bakery for her.
I'll go get it for her.
But I know what she likes.
I know what she likes too.
Choi Je Gook.

[Joseon Coalition for Total National Spirit Mobilization: A pro-Japanese service group]
[at the forefront of encouraging volunteers and donations for joining the war.]
You can't leave the house without your father's permission.
I'm going out to meet my betrothed.
Going somewhere?
- There's no practice today. - I'm going to do as you say.
I'm going to meet up with Shin Young, and have a serious talk with her.
Good luck.
What perfect timing.
See?
We're going to go out on a date, so you can just get going now.
I'll drive you.
If you can't take the hint and keep following us everywhere
it's going to make my Chi Ho very uncomfortable.
Right, Chi Ho?
[Patriotic Gold Collection Event]
[Pro Japanese group of nobles to gather the funds necessary to aid Japan.]
Hello everyone.
I have been given the honor to lead the Joseon Confederation as the new director
to help the unification and solidarity of of Joseon with Japan.
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Choi Je Gook.
What is Japanese Unification, you ask?
It means that everyone in this world are as of one.
Under the generous blessing of His Majesty, The Emperor...
it is a belief that not just all Asians, but
even the Westerners should unite as one!
You have to take a good look and remember everyone that's here.
The wife of the Secretary Commissioner, the wives of Advisory Board's Councilmen
all the wives of the Joseon Bank, Industrial Bank
and the wives of all the biggest Asian trading companies.
All the wives of the most powerful men in
Joseon are sitting in this room right now.
You brought the gold rings, right?
I have it right here.
I did bring them since you told me to.
But do we really have to go this far?
You don't' know what you're talking about.
Do you want to see your husband rot away in
that tiny hospital for the rest of his life?
The time has changed!
Our women also has to change.
They need to get rid of the frivolousness
and it's time for them to stand up and make
some sacrifices for the better of this nation!
What a fancy way to tell us that he wants us to fork over our money.
Call the team and get them over here.
Right now.
Everyone gather around!
Quickly.
Come on, quickly. Come on.
What are you doing?
Who says you're the only one with tricks up your sleeve?
I already told you.
That I'm not just going to sit back and let you all do this to me.
I knew that I can go out freely if I told him I was going out to see you.
If you don't like being used
then tell everyone that you no longer want the engagement.
Get in.
I don't want to.
You have to walk quite a ways before you can hail a taxi.
Get in.
I'm quite sturdy.
Didn't you say that you were going to use me?
If you're going to use me, you might as well take full advantage.
I'll let you take full advantage of me.
Miss! What are you doing here?
Did all the basketball players go somewhere?
Yes, they all went out.
Who are you?
Are you one of the amateur team's players?
Yes, I am.
Will you please give this to San?
[To Kang San.]
[Donation to aid Japan in the war.]
Thank you.
You look different. Are you sure you're Korean?
How can he be this handsome?
They're all so tall and handsome.
I don't remember men looking like this when I was young.
Why don't you take one now?
Who says that men are the only ones who can look around in this day and age?
Stop that.
If I do that, my husband will divorce me like Na Hee Sung's husband did
and my life would be ruined from being branded as a hussy.
You don't have to be obvious about it. Just do it in secret.
I can't believe you're saying that.
Hey, look at him over there.
Shin Young?
I'm good. You can get going now.
What about you?
I'm going to go look for a job.
Since he's working so hard, I need to live my life earnestly as well.
I'll take you.
Oh my.
All the players are so handsome.
I don't know which family he's from, but he is just so good looking.
Thank you.
Look at all these amazing players on this team.
Thank you, Ma'am.
Please give our team a lot of support.
I'm putting all my faith in you, okay?
Sure, sure.
Did you just hear that?
Aren't we... going to practice?
This is all a part of our job.
Excuse me?
Did you really think that we'd only be playing basketball the whole time?
We wish for a speedy victory for the Imperial army.
Thank you.
We, the women will also join the nation's effort for our victory.
It is Shin Young's man, isn't it?
Thank you for all your hard work.
Thanks to you, we have collected the most amount of war funds than we ever have.
Where did you find this man?
For the unification of this country
and for the victory of the Imperial Army, I hope that you keep up the good work.
You've got some skills!
I did my best as not to taint your honor.
Of course! That's what you should do.
By the way...
Have you ever heard of 'Patriotic Unit'?
Patriotic Unit?
Now that you've become the Director of Joseon Confederation
it's time for you to put a Patriotic Unit together.
This patriotic unit... it's like skin cells.
You have to group all the cells together...
Why don't we talk it over during dinner later?
Okay.
[Offering free food in exchange for joining the Patriotic Unit.]
Come and get your food.
It's free barley rice! Come and get it.
Byeo Ri!
[Patriotic Unit- Grouped in families of ten,
Method used to control people's lives.]
Look at this, Byeo Ri.
If you write your name on that sheet, they give you free barley rice.
Why do we have to write down our name?
You want to know why you need to write down your name?
It's because you can be registered as a citizen of this country by doing so.
Do you know what it means to be a citizen?
I'm talking about all these people.
The country will give out free food like this to these people
and they'll even open up bank accounts for you.
They're just trying to make things better for everyone.
So just hurry up and write down your name.
Come on, Byeo Ri. Let's write down our names.
Come on, let's write down our names.
Just write your name down right here.
Then the country will help you make lots of money.
If we write our names down... you're going to take us away, aren't you?
What?
What use would it be to us to take you kids anywhere?
If you're not going to write down your name, then just get out of the way.
Don't you see all of us are waiting in line for our turn?
Are you going to do it or not?
Come on, let's write our names down. Okay?
Let's write our names down.
If you want the rice that badly... then just write your own name down.
I...
don't know how to write.
I just need to write it down here, right?
[Hong Byeo Ri]
Thank you!
Let's go cook this up and eat, Byeo Ri.
I'll make a delicious pot of rice for us.
Let's move it along!
I'm starving.
Come and get your free rice!
You all did great.
You men are not only employees of my company, but we're all family now.
Your own personal growth means growth for the whole company
and each and every single one of you represents the future of our company.
I just saw a very bright future for all of us today.
All your hard work and efforts... will not be forgotten.
The competition is looming ahead of us.
- Yes. - Yes.
Can I... expect a victory?
Yes!
Enjoy yourselves at dinner.
And keep working hard.
Kang San is your name?
Yes.
I like... that glint in your eye.
I'll be keeping my eye on you.
What are you doing here? Where's Shin Young?
She's out on a date with Min Chi Ho.
That rascal.
Thank you. For driving me around like this.
It wasn't a difficult task.
Then... goodbye.
Wait.
Can we... talk once you're finished in there?
It won't take long.
Okay.
How dare you come here?
You yourself are the one who went on about the whole Japanese puppet thing.
You're the one who wrote that article on Min Chi Ho, aren't you?
- What did you say? - Look here, Choi Shin Young.
Why don't you make your position clear?
Your father is a capitalist
and your boyfriend is a puppet for Japan's evil propaganda.
So don't you think that you trying to look
socially conscious is a bit hypocritical?
As someone who stands as the voice of the people...
aren't you even ashamed of yourself for deceiving people like that?
Don't speak so rashly.
- What do you mean, deceive? - Just marry yourself a rich man.
The news of you being Min Chi Ho's rich little kept woman is already out.
So why are you even bothering to go around talking about being a reporter again?
Stop being a nuisance by going around to all the newspapers and causing trouble!
Don't you think that you're being too harsh with your words?
You.
Do you know her that well?
Whether her dream is to get married to some rich man or not...
do you know that for yourself?
Is she your wife or your kid?
Even if was your kid, you still shouldn't speak to her that way.
With education and intelligence of that mere level...
aren't you even embarrassed to go around calling yourself a reporter?
What did you say?
- Hey, you done with what you have to say? - This woman...
She's not someone whom you can treat so carelessly like that.
Let's go, Shin Young.
He's not even worth the bother.
You're nothing but a Japanese puppet. Hey, you jerk!
How old are you, you bastard!
Hey, come back here!
Over here!
Stop your relationship with our lady.
She'll soon be getting engaged to someone else.
Kyungsung University's Kang San.
San?
Kyungsung University's Kang San!
San?
Are you getting violent with me right now?
If you do that, then I'm not going to give this to you.
Let's see here. What did she write in her letter?
To Kang San?
Some woman came up to me today and said
'Will you make sure that San gets this letter?'
And then she left!
Should I give this to you, or not?
Should I, or not?
Okay, let's take a look.
San.
The news of our engagement isn't true.
My heart already belongs to you.
I miss you.
Wow, you're so rough.
He's a very rough man.
I need to go out for a moment.
Hey, where are you going?
That rascal. Hey, Kang San!
He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he got in here as a favor?
A favor?
San. The news of the engagement isn't true.
My heart already belongs to you.
I miss you.
- I... - I...
You go first.
No, it's okay.
I want you to go first.
Thank you for what you did today.
I just went to see if I could get a job after Modern Women closed down.
I was very flustered and didn't know what to do.
Because I was so flustered... my mind just went completely blank.
I'm done saying what I had to say.
Why don't you tell me what you had to say?
At first...
I did get very angry.
Being blamed for something that I had not even done...
I felt really burdened by it somehow.
But when I saw you at the newspaper earlier...
going through what you went through with that guy...
it made me think that maybe what I did really was wrong.
I felt like you were put in that difficult situation because of me.
And I'm sorry for that.
What happened at the newspaper today... isn't your fault.
But as for the engagement issue...
I would like for you to take care of that
before the misunderstanding gets even bigger.
Then... be careful going home.
If it's possible...
I want to make it right.
Everything... that's gone wrong.
But as for the engagement...
I don't want to do that.
San!
Thank you for bringing her home.
Shin Young!
Let's go.
Wait.
I'm not done saying what I've got to say.
As for what happened to Byeo Ri...
I'm going to do everything within my power to right the wrong.
But I have no intentions of breaking off my engagement to you.
Shin Young, I...
I've started having real feelings for you.
I like you.

What are you doing?
I'm Min Chi Ho.
I'll stay with you until you're reunited with your father again.
Who are you to judge other people?
He's the best man that I know.
What are you doing by refusing to pledge loyalty to Japan?
Just what is going on here?
Get rid of all the posters and everything else there is of Min Chi Ho!
Don't go!
Min Chi Ho is being transferred to prison.
To know that Korea has a player like you...
You're a natural born star.
Did you hear of the protest rally to help Min Chi Ho?
I will not be attending.
You have the responsibility to take my side.
Kang San, that butthole...
