Basketball
That's the way to play!
Kang San!
Hey!
Are you okay?
Kang San, are you okay?
Referee!
This jerk just cheated. I saw him do it!
Are you okay?
This jerk just cheated!
He just jabbed him in the chest with his elbow!
- Ouch, that really hurts. - Are you acting right now?
Player number four!
What?
What the heck is this? I didn't even do anything!
This jerk is putting on a show right now!
My eye.
I didn't even touch him!
I'm sorry.
Hey.
Do you still not get it?
If you get too worked up, then you lose.
That butthole. I'm going to kill you!
Are you out of your mind?
That jerk is playing with us right now!
Are you going to stoop to their level just because they want to play dirty?
Do you want to ruin everything?
Shin Young.
Shin Young!
What do you think you're doing right now?
Just go back.
My lady told you that she doesn't want to see you.
Move.
I...
didn't come back home to get married.
Then what?
I'll follow in your footsteps...
in Tae Yong's place.
Kyungin Cotton Mill...
I want you to give it to me.
What do you mean by that?
It means that I'm going to become your successor.
How can a girl become a successor?
You're going to end up accepting my offer in this deal.
Because the only child you have left...
is just me now.
Shin Young.
What you said to me earlier...
Did you really mean it?
What you said about living as your father's daughter...
Is that what you really want?
I told you that's what I wanted.
What have I meant...
to you all this time?
What meaning...
did I, Min Chi Ho...
ever mean to you, Choi Shin Young?
You are...
nothing more than...
just another person to me.
Is that it?
Truly?
That's all I am to you?
The man I love...
from the very beginning and even until now...
has only been Kang San, and no one else.
I...
trusted you.
What you said about trying your best for me no matter how tough things became...
I really believed it.
I finally realize...
just how foolish I have been this whole time.
But I'll stop now.
I'll stop too.
Yoon Bae... did those butthole feed something to the referees?
What?
Unless they fed them something
you can't tell whether he's being a referee, or being one of their lackeys.
If that is the case, you saying that we need to feed them something too?
Even if we did try to, I doubt it's even going to work.
We're screwed.
How are we supposed to beat those noble bastards?
What a rotten world this is.
This isn't even basketball.
Chi Ho.
Ref!
Player switch! We want to switch out a player!
You just saunter in here when you're already late?
Hurry up and run out here.
We've been getting killed out there. Do you know how late you are?
You have to change into your uniform first!
Your uniform!
Have you known about it?
Shin Young having moved back home...
Have you known about it?
You bastard.
I thought you said you were going to accept it.
The fact that Shin Young chose me to be her man!
I thought you were going to accept it.
Did you use me?
Did you just pacify me with your lies, and use me to make your comeback?
Why are you acting like this? Let him go.
Yeah, just say it in words.
Thanks...
for looking out for Shin Young all this time.
- What? - I mean it.
Because you stayed by Shin Young's side...
Min Chi Ho!
Min Chi Ho.
I...
thought of you as my friend.
As much I trusted Shin Young...
I wanted to trust in you too.
Because of a jerk like you...
I'm never playing basketball again...
with a bastard like you.
Time out! Time out!
I don't think... I can be with you anymore.
I'm sorry.
Bong Soon.
My lady.
Hey.
What's wrong with you?
I didn't even know that had happened to you.
I've been too insensitive.
You recently lost your older brother.
I'm the one who's sorry.
Don't cry.
Once some time passes... everything will be fine.
But what about now?
What do I do about the immediate pain?
I'll help you.
Move back to the house.
Come live with me again like you used to.
You know as well as I do that I can't go anywhere with my father's condition.
Let's use this money to get him admitted into a nice hospital.
I think that would be the best thing to do for both you and your father.
Listen to me without misunderstanding what I'm about to say.
I've decided not to work as your servant any longer.
What do you mean by that?
It's not because I don't like you.
But...
I've learned that everyone is created equal.
Did Sung Won teach you that?
Yes.
I want you to teach it me too.
Really?
My world until now has been like...
the life of a fearful frog who's been too afraid to step out of his well.
So that I'm not left stuck living in this tiny and suffocating world...
Please stay beside me and be my companion so
that we could travel down this path together.
As long as it's okay with you... I want to be your companion too.
Miss Go Bong Soon.
Will you please accept my heart?
My lady.
You're going to accept it, right?
Yes.
But... I do have one condition.
I want you to reconsider it too.
Think about whether if it really is okay with you, to just end it like this.
A person who treasures you...
and a person who always made you feel like you were loved and cared for...
There's nothing more fortunate than having someone like that by your side.
I know that person to you... is Kang San.
Min Chi Ho!
Min Chi Ho.
Don't you know what this day means to us?
I'm not playing basketball with a bastard like him.
How can you call yourself a basketball player
representing Korea when you act like this?
Min Chi Ho, why are you acting like this?
This is so unlike you.
You even taught San how to play ball again, and things were going so well.
We're almost done.
- Once we win... - Min Chi Ho.
I've never once lied to you.
To me...
you have always been someone whom I wanted to be like
and someone whom I've always wanted to overcome one day.
You have been the best of the best comrade to me.
I know that Shin Young requested something of
you that she never should have to save me.
But Shin Young tried her best to the end
to keep the promise that she made to you.
She even pushed me away and kept me at bay.
It's all my fault.
Had I realized a bit sooner...
I've come to accept...
that the path Shin Young chose to take...
doesn't include me.
Just like you...
Shin Young didn't choose me either.
One day, when we all have grown older and wiser...
I know that we'll all come to meet again to travel down the same path together.
That's what I've come to believe.
So stop being angry, and let's play basketball.
These Japanese bastards...
don't you think it's time someone smashed their smug faces in?
Isn't it your hopes and dreams...
to light the way for the people of this
country who are floundering without hope...
by continuing to play basketball?
What are you doing, Team Baekhwa?
- Are you forfeiting the game? - No, we're going to play.
Come on guys, let's get back in the game.
Chi Ho.
What is this?
Is all this chaos over one mere girl?
You yobos are something else.
Are you going to play or not?
If you don't resume playing right now, you'll all be disqualified!
We're going to play.
Let's just hurry up and get back to the game.
Center...
is mine.
And I will continue to play center.
Fine, take it.
Min Chi Ho!
And...
Who says you can call me 'Chi Ho'?
Didn't you say that we're friends?
If you think it's unfair, then you can call me 'San' too.
Min Chi Ho!
Aren't you getting out?
Ugh, so frustrating.
How is it that I'm surrounded by all these frustrating people?
Let's do this!
San!
San, can you get up?
Oh no! What do we do?
- He's bleeding! - San!
- What are they doing? - What are you doing, Ref?
Kick him out of the game.
Kick them all out of the game!
You worthless yobos. How dare you!
Ref! Look at what he's done to him!
Look at San's head! He's bleeding! What kind of basketball playing is this?
That bastard ran into him first.
Hey, are you okay?
What are you doing? Just blow the whistle.
Do you not want to be a ref anymore?
You! I caught you. You're threatening him.
- What do you think you're doing? - Hurry up and make the call!
Who do these street gang like bastards think
they are to call themselves a player?
Is it on okay?
Just do what you can. I just need it to stop bleeding.
Are you okay?
What are you saying? You're going to go back out there?
- I have no other choice. - Are you crazy? In your condition?
Go get treated first.
Can everyone gather around?
Let's pass the ball around as quickly as we can.
If we hesitate even for a second, someone else is going to get hurt.
If you think you're going to get rammed into, avoid getting hit any way you can.
You all understand what I'm saying, right?
We'll play without Kang San, and get through it however we can.
- Baekhwa! - Fighting!
Maid!
Do you want to see your son becoming a real handicap?
Pull him out of the game right now!
Do you think that I'm just going to let your son be?
I'm going to destroy him myself before he's even sent off to the war zone.
Okay.
Go ahead and try.
Let's see just how powerful that nobleman power of yours is.
So go ahead and try.
- Did you eat something wrong? - What wrong have we done to you guys?
We work hard to do everything you order us to do
and if we worked ourselves to the bone for you
then you should at least treat us like humans beings
but you can't be bothered to thank us.
Are all noble so shameless?
Okay, fine. Go and try laying your hand on my son.
I will tear apart your face and chew your face like chewing gum.
That wench.
Hey, I can't get the bleeding to stop.
No, this won't do. Let's re-bandage your wound.
Just leave it.
There's not much time.
- What if you really injure yourself? - This is our last chance!
Yoon Bae, this is...
my last chance.
Baby.
What is...
Look what's happened to you!
Must you really do this?
You want to play basketball that badly?
Then do it.
Mom.
I can't even be of any help to you.
I'm sorry, my baby.
You said you wanted to show the world that
even the poor can be happy too, right?
Okay.
Go on and show them.
I won't tell you to live your life to fit your status in this world anymore.
So go out there and show them all.
I want to live happily in this new world that my son is trying to create.
Okay?
Ref!
Player switch!
Why did you blow the whistle?
Pass! Over here!
Don't let him suck you into it!
Hurry up and make the call!
San.
- San. - Are you okay?
You saw it too! He's the one who rammed into me.
Don't you know who I am?
I'm Takeshi!
Do you not want to be a ref anymore?
Hurry up and make the call!
Do it!
Mom!
I'm proud of you, my baby.
I'm proud of you.
Thanks, Mom.
I'm taking my mom home with me.
What?
- Why would you take my maid? - She's not your maid.
She's my mom.
Don't treat her with disrespect.
San.
Mom.
I know you've suffered more than enough all these years.
You don't have to work for someone else's family anymore.
I'll make you happy.
I want the two of us... to live happily together.
- Hong Ki! - Mom!
- Mom, we won! - You did great, my son.
Hong Ki. My Hong Ki's going to be okay.
Mom!
You did do great.
Baekhwa!
Shin Young.
We need to talk, Shin Young.
I know that you've chosen to take a certain path...
and that's why you're being like this
because there are things that you must do.
I understand.
But you know something?
The world that you want to create, and the world that I want to create...
they're both one and the same in the end.
Trying to gain power for yourself
or trying to show the world that you can still
do it even if you don't have any power...
in the end, they're both attempts to make things better for everyone.
That's why in the end...
you and I are going to end up meeting again.
If our starting lines are different...
then our finish lines will be different too.
- Instead of just pushing me away... - That's why...
I want you to forget me too.
Just...
forget that you ever even knew me.
Shin Young.
Korea's Team Baekhwa, who won this competition today
in front of this huge crowd, and in front of our esteemed judges...
you will be presented with this winning trophy.
Team Baekhwa, the winner of the competition
will go on to play at the Asian Playoffs
will be given the honor and privilege to
represent Japan in the playoff competition.
- Representative of what? - What is he saying?
He just said... representative of Japan, right?
But this is still better than being dragged off into the army.
- How can you even say that? - It's true.
Rather than getting riddled with bullets out in the battlefield
I'll just wear that Japanese flag instead.
You shouldn't say things like that so lightly.
You had your name changed too.
You ultimately ended up changing it anyways after putting on all that act.
What? Do you think you're special or something?
You think you know about my situation?
Who in this world doesn't have their own situation of sorts?
But I can name at least a hundred different
reasons why I don't want to die right now.
What is all this!
Mom!
Mom.
What's going on here!
Park Ki Ok.
You are under arrest for the violation of selling prohibited alcohol.
What? What violation?
What are you doing? Who are you guys!
- Mom. - Hong Ki.
Mom. Mom!
- Mom! - Hong Ki.
- Hong Ki! - Mom!
- Madame Park!
- Mom! - Hong Ki!
Hong Ki!
Let go. Let go of me!
Mom!
Let go!
Mom!
Min Chi Ho.
You can't be running around like that on government property.
How disrespectful.
Oh... you must be here because of that other business?
I'm sure you must be in a hurry, and I seemed to have interrupted.
Why are you just standing there?
Aren't you going to go see your father...
when he's just been sentenced for execution?
Hey!
You bastard!
You ordered my mom to be arrested, didn't you!
- Who is this? - I'm Park Ki Ok's son, Lee Hong Ki.
Where's my mom. Where is she right now!
Get him out of here.
How dare you barge in here, you disrespectful dog?
You take right after that booze pouring mother of yours.
What have you ever done to help my mom as she poured you your drink every day?
Huh? Let go of me!
Don't you know that your mom has been arrested
for violation of selling prohibited liquor?
How dare she go around stealing grains to
make liquor during hard times like this?
Who's the one that came in every night to guzzle down all those drinks?
Who told you that she's stealing grains?
- Did anyone see her doing that? Huh? - Grab onto him.
You worthless bastard!
You awful bastard!
Hong Ki!
Why isn't she here?
Why isn't she here yet?
Come on, Mi Sook.
Yoon Bae.
Gong Yoon Bae.
Mi Sook.
Yoon Bae!
Stop beating him! Please stop beating him!
Stop beating him! Yoon Bae!
Wait!
Wait, wait!
Mi Sook.
Honey...
Mi Sook.
San.
What are we going to do?
Gong Yoon Bae, that jerk... he took our prize money and ran off.
What... do we do now?
I told you guys to keep it clean.
You guys aren't common street thugs.
President Choi.
Mr. Gong.
You don't listen as well as I thought you would.
Why are you doing this to me?
Stop doing all this to me.
Wait!
Wait a minute.
Wait.
I have something to say.
Kang San, that boy...
is going to throw a bomb.
What?
A bomb.
He's built a secret bomb that he's planning on detonating.
Gong Yoon Bae.
- If you're lying to us again... - This is not a lie!
He's planning on detonating it during the upcoming final playoffs!
I heard it with my own two ears.
Kang San, that boy...
If something doesn't get done... he's going to blow everything up.
So...
please just let me go.
Go look into it immediately.
Please let me go.
Mother!
Chi Ho, I want to see father.
Hye Soo.
You can't be acting like this. Stop it.
You came. Did you play well in the game?
We won.
Good job.
If your father knew... he'd be so happy to hear it.
Don't cry.
Your father has never said anything harmful about anyone his whole life.
Even if he was to ever see me serve any sort of meat on the dinner table...
he's always been so soft hearted...
that he'd only feel bad for the poor animal.
So how can they execute a man like that?
How could something like this even happen?
I'll look into hiring a lawyer immediately...
and think of a way to win his case in a trial.
How?
Excuse me?
The law is what captured an upstanding and
innocent man to lock him up behind bars.
Have you still not figured that out...
after seeing what's happened to In Soo and his father?
Ugh, I'm so pissed!
She's not your maid.
She's my mother.
Don't treat her with such disrespect.
That butthole. How dare he?
Go find me some men right now!
San, is that you?
- How did it go? - Did you find Coach Gong?
It seems...
that he's ran away.
That bastard.
Min Chi Ho's father...
has been sentenced for execution.
What are you saying?
How did it go?
Did you get to see your father?
Let's...
go to the final playoffs.
Chi Ho.
- Let's do that. - I...
I'm quitting basketball.
- I'm sorry. - I'm not talking about basketball.
I'm talking about getting revenge.
Lee Hong Ki.
It's a big game, so the Advisory Board will be there.
If the Advisory Board comes, then the Secretary commissioner will come too.
All the high ranking officials will be gathered at the game...
which means that all those butthole cop pigs will be coming too.
I'm sure that the bum who did that to your father will be there too.
Let's throw a bomb at them.
Are you crazy?
A bomb?
Do you even know what that is?
I know.
- I've even seen it. - Lee Hong Ki!
That's enough.
This isn't something to be decided when you're so emotional like this.
- Our comrade, Sung Won, here has it. - I said, that's enough!
Throwing it in an attempt to save my mom is being emotional...
but dying for the sake of the country is being rational?
I don't know anything about country pride.
I've never once had it, or lost it either.
My papers just stated that I'm a Korean when I was born.
When has being a Korean ever clothed me or fed me?
Or did it ever sell its happiness or its soul...
to send me to school or allow me to play basketball like my mom did?
I don't know a thing about this country.
But I'm going to protect my mom.
So stop with all your arguing...
and let's do it while my mind's been decided.
Let's get our revenge.
For my mom...
and for Chi Ho's father.
Let's detonate the bomb.
I can't do it.
- I'm sorry, but I... - San.
Just because we do that...
it's not going to change this world.
Whether it changes this world or not...
we still need to make this injustice known.
If we just keep on living like this...
what will that ever change?
Mom, I'm back.
Mom.
Drag her out here.
Takeshi.
You awful scoundrel.
God will punish you for this.
How can you even call yourself human after doing something like this?
You're not even human!
You're a nobleman in namesake only
but your actions are no better than that of a common street thug.
Aren't you even afraid of God?
You awful bastard!
You need to be struck down by the heavens for this!
Even dogs don't bite their own owners.
Don't you remember when you were begging us not to kick you out of the house?
But you dare stab me in the back now?
How dare you glare at me like that.
You wench!
Takeshi.
Takeshi, where are you?
Where have you been? Didn't you hear me calling for you?
I'm sorry.
I was just out in the backyard admiring the moon.
That's something only a girl would do.
- Make sure to be prepared for tomorrow. - Excuse me?
Tomorrow?
I'm talking about the meeting with your potential marriage meeting.
Have you forgotten about that already?
Yes, Sir.
Even though her father's a low-class bastard...
but he still has quite a bit of money.
Let's detonate the bomb.
I'm talking about getting revenge.
What are you doing out here instead of sleeping?
Are you not able to fall asleep?
Congratulations on your victory, Chi Ho.
I'm sorry.
I haven't even been very good to you lately.
Chi Ho.
Those stars must be so happy.
Since they can always stay right by the moon's side.
Ta da!
Have I ever told you?
That my dream is to become a nurse.
Don't do this.
You don't have to work.
What about school?
You won't even be able to go to school.
There are many other kids who's never
even been inside of an elementary school.
But I'm already at a sixth grade level.
Byeo Ri.
You have to work for the Japanese army if you go to this place.
- Do you even know what that means? - I know.
I have to treat all the Japanese soldiers
who's been hurt out in the battlefield.
But no matter how awful a Japanese person may be...
they still need to receive treatment.
But this still isn't right.
You're going to be in big trouble with me
if you ever do something like this again.
That won't matter.
I've already submitted all my paperwork.
Byeo Ri!
Chi Ho, the thing is...
I would like for you to always remember me fondly with only the good memories.
A girl who's good at cooking, good at cleaning...
and even at doing laundry.
That's the Byeo Ri I want you to remember.
Not the burdensome Byeo Ri that you have to feel sorry for.
It's not like that.
I've never once thought of you that way.
I know that too.
But...
sitting alone in an empty house...
makes me think that I've become a burden...
like all those furniture in the house with red stickers all over them.
I can't help but feel that way.
Byeo Ri.
Chi Ho.
I'm going to grow up real quick.
I'll grow up fast, and become a better Byeo Ri who can be of a big help to you.
So you have to wait... and not get married until then, okay?
Where are we going?
You'll know once we get there.
My lady.
Your Secretary Go is here.
I thought you said you weren't going to start
working until I followed your condition.
What suddenly changed your mind?
And why are you dressed up in all your pretty clothes?
This is my first day of work after all, so
I couldn't show up in my ratty clothes.
Bong Soon.
You don't have to speak to me in honorifics anymore.
- Excuse me? - We said we were going to be friends.
But still... how can I speak to you like a friend?
When I'm a whole year older than you?
Okay.
Bong Soon unni. (Showing respect for her age by saying 'unni')
Bong Soon.
Shin Young.
Yeah, Bong Soon.
What happened?
Is she dead?
It... seems that way.
Then what are you waiting for? Get rid of the body!
Excuse me?
Yes, Sir.
Keep your mouths shut.
If a word of this gets out...
You know what will happen, don't you?
Yes, Sir.
Chi Ho.
Byeo Ri wanted me to give this to you.
[I'm so happy to have gotten to know you.]
Come on, Byeo Ri!
The days that I've spent with you feels like a beautiful dream.
I'll write to you once I arrive in Manchuria.
Goodbye... My Prince Hamlet.
There are people...
who never strayed and stayed with me by my side.
Sitting alone in this empty house...
makes me feel like I've become a burden to you...
like all those pieces of furniture in the house with the red stickers on them.
I can't help but feel that way.
A young child who still needs my care...
and my fiance...
who's never lost her faith in me.
As long as I have them...
I will continue down my path.
As long as I have them...
I will continue down my path.
Isn't it your hopes and dreams...
to light the way for the people of this
country who are floundering without hope...
by continuing to play basketball for them?
Dad.
Where do I go from here?
Please help us.
I'll come to you right now.
Okay.
I'll go out and see if I can get some money together.
So go and see if you can convince your mother.
I wasn't able to protect them...
and I even followed my path.
All the things that I've lost...
I want to get them all back.
I'll join you.
I'll help you detonate the bomb.
Welcome, Director Choi.
You're a bit late.
I'm here on time.
Isn't showing up early, rather than on time,
more mannerly, and the right thing to do?
I'm sorry if I've made you wait.
Say hello.
This is my daughter.
Hello, my name is Choi Shin Young.
You are as beautiful as I've heard you'd be.
This right here is my one and only son.
My name is Yoshida Takeshi.
Lunch preparations are complete. Please come to the table.
Let's go in and have some lunch.
Come on in.
- What are you doing? - Grab the head.
Open the door.
Who are you?
Oh my, it's Kang San.
Hello.
By any chance... is my mom here?
Why are you looking for your mom here?
Didn't you take her home with you?
You haven't seen her?
I haven't seen her since you took her home.
My goodness... I heard that you did great at the last game?
That's great! I'm proud of you!
I have things I have to get back to. I'll see you later.
Oh my... I guess all her undying devotion to her son's paid off!
Hey! You there.
Hello.
Listen...
I know I was told not to say anything.
But still...
I didn't think that was right.
What are you saying?
You can never...
You can never tell anyone that I told you this, okay?
If you do, then I'm dead, okay?
Do you understand?
Hurry up and go to Yasan mountain.
They said they were going to go deep into the woods past the gorge.
Excuse me?
Your mom...
passed away.
I heard that you used to be a reporter.
Are you still doing that?
No, I've since quit being a reporter.
That's good.
Because if the woman goes around too much outside...
then it ruins the whole household.
Then...
are you taking marriage lessons?
No, I'm learning father's business.
I'm thinking of joining the business.
Then...
are you saying that you're still going to work even after you're married?
Status within a marriage is not something I'm interested in.
Just like all the men.
I wonder if it's because you must take after your father...
but you really are a catty young lady.
But...
I don't know if my son will allow that.
Takeshi.
What are your thoughts?
That's a bunch of silly nonsense.
Once she's married
she should just stay obedient at home and take care of her husband.
How dare this insolent girl speak this way?
I thought that insolent girls were your type?
What did you say? Me?
I heard that you're always causing some sort of trouble at all the parties.
So I thought that you would without a doubt
prefer someone similar to your personality.
They say that birds of a feather flock together.
- You're going too far. - I've never heard that before.
My father's always been pretty strict while growing up
so being taught family lessons and values
is one thing he made sure I received.
You don't act like it to me.
My daughter isn't very well taught in the ways of social manners.
So she doesn't know how to filter her words.

But she's never been the type to be able to lie.
If she's offended you...
I apologize in her place.
Mom!
Mom.
