It was the year 1999.
At that time, the whole area had become dark and hazy due to a typhoon.
Jung Sok High was destroyed because of one person.
Where's Jung Sok High?
Idiot.
It's our school.
Principal Lee changed it into a school for both boys and girls in 2000.
But why did the senior destroy the teachers' room?
That was because...
There was another school behind ours.
A group of bullies from there took a liking to a girl from our school.
But... the bullies were driven away by the senior.
Hey! Get her!!
The senior said this...
By gang law, I must help.
The bullies saw that she was alone and so were not prepared for what happened.
Then... the true battle began.
Awesome!
And then what happened?
Those bullies went and reported the incident to our school authorities.
Those bastards!
And then?
Even until the end, the senior refused to reveal why she had been fighting.
Why?
It must have been to protect that girl.
With someone like this, you shouldn't use your way of hitting.
Even though she was caned 300 times, she never flinched.
But.. in the end, because of some words, she got mad.
What words?
Undisciplined people like you only know how to cause trouble.
Bend down!
Didn't you hear me?!
What are you doing?
His nose bled.
- Then? - What happened to the senior?
She walked out from the school.
Oh no! How could that be?!
Do you know what her last words were?
Every school in Korea...
@#$WS%^##
Wasn't this said on some show?
The director must have been honoring the senior.
Every school in Korea...
@#$WS%^##
You were asked to write a report assessing yourselves.
But what are you doing?!
What was that about schools in Korea?
You punks! Troublemakers!
What will you be able do in the future?
Everyday you skip school and sleep during class. What else can you do?
Na Bo Ri! Na Bo Ri!
Do you want to end up like Na Bo Ri?
Who?!
Na Bo Ri!
Actually you are right.
But work is the most important.
I also want to quit this job and find something else.
Do you know what I fear being asked each time I meet someone?
"What do you do?"
100% failure. 100%
But it's different for you.
School teacher.
It's great, isn't it?
Bo Ri..
this time you must succeed, understand?
I'm done. Go wash.
Ajummah, you can't wash your clothes there!
Thank you, friend.
Hey, you haven't had breakfast, right? Let me cook something for you.
Don't trouble yourself.
Too nervous to eat?
What nervous?
What do you call that?
One can still eat while standing up straight.
Once I get my salary, I will buy these, ok?
Na Bo Ri, fighting!
It's hot!
Hey!
Yes?
Pick that up.
Too much trouble. Are you a police officer? Teacher?
Why are you so bothered with all this?
Today is a very important day for me. So, I don't care all that much.
Just pick this up and clear off.
What if I don't? What are you gonna do?
I am Bo Ri. Na Bo Ri.
It doesn't matter to me whether you're wheat or rice. With a flawed face that looks like yours.
What?
What did you say, brat?!
Chang Sung Koo. Rule #318. Everyone, let's get her!!
Wait!
Today, I want to get my hair done. Let's talk some other time, ok?
- Does it look like she's running away? - She's running away!
Get her!!
You're so dead when we catch you!
Why are you carrying sticks?
No, it's nothing like that. We are studying.
Don't always cause trouble. Study hard.
Yes, sir!
- Hurry, and get back to school. - Yes, thank you!
Na Bo Ri! Don't run. I'm telling you to stop.
I can't always stop for you. What else I could I do?
I know. Sorry. I'll do better next time.
Are you going to get your hair done now?
Get it done real pretty. This time you must succeed.
Also don't forget to help me make peace with Ms. Myung. You must succeed!
Wait, didn't you promise? Buy one for me?
Is that woman a police officer or gangster?
Ajummah!
My name is Bo Ri. Na Bo Ri.
I was expelled from school but I still passed the exams for becoming a teacher.
People in my area say that... I'm stupid and hot-tempered.
Actually I don't care... Because I am a person with a dream.
Whatever I do, I feel life is beautiful.
My dream is to become a school teacher.
Hey, it's been one year.
In one year, you have failed to get into 33 schools.
You should stop now.
Forget your dream of becoming a teacher.
Because I failed 33 times, even my friends have given up on me.
I didn't fail. It's because I turned them down.
Why? Because there's a school that I want to go to.
Today's the day that my dream can be realized.
In realizing my dream, I can meet that person.
Someone I really must meet.
I'm bored. Let's place a bet.
See if I can score with that lady?
You don't have time for this now. Don't forget you are in custody.
- Ok, start. I want some bread.
Hi! Excuse me.
How can I help you, sir?
She's just my type.
Miss Lee Min Joo.
Can I use the telephone?
Sir, there's already a phone near your seat.
I want to call my girlfriend. I can't do that here.
I left her behind in America so I'm worried she may be in tears.
Can't I?
Well then, if you will follow me?
Thank you.
Crazy.
Soo Hyun?
It's me, Park Tae In.
No, I just need your help.
Let's go. Principal Lee is waiting for you.
Hey, Miss Lee Min Joo!
So embarassing!
Hurry and get back here!
Quick!
Stop the car!
Why are you late?
You?!
Welcome back, my sweetheart.
It's not safe.
Go!
Why did you come?
Can't a wife come to meet her husband?
Soo Hyun sent me a message.
Traitor.
Where do you want to go?
Probably not home. How about a resort?
Let me drive. Hurry!
Wait. Let's take a picture to remember this by.
What did you say?
I understand.
I don't care how you do it. You must get him back today.
He escaped from the airport.
This brat.
I thought after going to America, he would be better.
Boys like him only know how to play. What else can he do?
Now, it will be known...
The person who will succeed is a boy who had to be captured and brought back home.
Even everyone is asking how such a person can become the next head.
Don't worry. I will advise Tae In.
It's easy to talk. Capture him and put him in the hospital for life.
Won't people know that this is borrowed or not mine?
Hey, tell me truthfully.
You're going back to that school for another purpose, right?
What purpose?
Isn't it because of that teacher?
Teacher Ji Hyun Woo.
What are you talking about?
Then why choose this school?
There are other schools. Why must you pick the school that expelled you?
I don't know what you keep saying.
Let me tell you. Many teachers...
pay more attention to the students who are bad.
In fact, a teacher won't even remember the students who were really good. They only recall bad students like me.
Because of this, you don't feel that my going back to school is a sure thing, is that it?
Is it really because of this?
Don't worry. I will return with the approval letter stuck to my forehead.
I'll be off!
Look, you're already sweating.
I only hope that dress will be returned safely.
Why did we take this road?
Maybe you are feeling nostalgic about the time we walked along this road?
Why are you leaning here? Don't do that!
I already miss America now.
Stop!!
Idiot!
What am I going to do?
#464268, if I see you again, you're dead!
Idiot.
How are you?
Sorry, but who are you?
I finished my studies...
I'm Na Bo Ri, who was expelled from school in 1999.
Is that so?
Aren't you Teacher Hwang Jee Soon? Teacher, it's been so long! I'm so happy to see you!!
Is that so?
Don't you remember me? When I first got my ears pierced, you used a broom to beat me like this...
Teacher, at that time, you were also known as the crazy woman.
That time, you beat me because I fell asleep.
You remember me, don't you?
Teacher, I'm so happy!!
I'm sorry. I truly don't remember.
Strange. I still remember.
Maybe, there were too many bad students that time.
That's Na Bo Ri, isn't it?
Why did this person come to school again?
Maybe to seek revenge.
It can't be.
In Japan, a student was expelled from school and for this reason he killed his teacher.
That... Why is she walking away after asking after me?
This criminal is very shrewd.
Just now, she left us with a message.
She will break your neck very, very slowly.
I studied hard to become a Japanese language teacher.
Pleased to meet you.
I will do my best.
If...
I'm only saying if..
If a student rebelled against a teacher's punishment and broke the teacher's cane...
How would you handle it?
Such a situation won't arise.
If it really happened...
Even if I heard about such a student.. surely something like this won't happen.
I already told you. Something like this has happened before!
It really did!
Okay.
- Next person. Number 35, Mr. Seung Sun Jee. - Yes.
Please get ready.
Excuse me.
Miss.
Me?
Actually...
I am not a person who places importance upon herself.
Please think about it.
Miss Woo Joo Eun.
If you and I are the only ones to succeed in the interview...
And if you don't lend your dress to me today...
How would you feel, Miss Woo Joo Eun?
You would blame yourself, so that you wouldn't be able to teach well in class.
Isn't that right, Miss Woo Joo Eun?
Why do you all not believe what I say?
This situation really happened!
In the year 1999.
The frame fell on top of me.
- Head teacher.
Don't you believe me, Principal Lee?
Next person.
Graduated from the University of Korea.
High school exams... what's this?
Na
Na Bo Ri?!
Head teacher.
Na Bo Ri, what did you come here for?
Principal Lee, that's her!
She's the one who assaulted her teacher in the teachers' room.
This is her!
You, get out! Get out now!!
Head teacher. Calm yourself and please sit.
Principal Lee.
My nose..
It's her fault my nose was broken.
Because she threw a picture frame at me. It smashed my nose like this..
Now my nose has gone flat. It has already undergone surgery 3 times.
I have problems smelling anything. Even rice no longer has a taste.
- Head teacher.
Miss Na Bo Ri.
Yes?
You were expelled. Surely, you do not like this school.
So why choose this school?
I...
I came to redress an issue.
See!!
Principal Lee...
Even in a hundred years, this sort of person won't change.
Even though it is known that I fought to save a female student...
And how can one person defeat that many students?
They didn't give me a chance to defend myself. After being punished, I was immediately expelled...
All the teachers really didn't like me.
Don't listen to such lies.
We don't know when she will show her true face.
I came for the sake of the teacher who inspired me.
I want to repay that teacher.
Even you know that I'm not that clever.
Even my exams results were not good.
A person such as myself.. surely you understand that I put in a lot of effort.
I must become a teacher.
To repay that teacher.
Please give me this chance.
Thank you.
Next.
Eh?
She already thanked you.
Out!
Hurry and get out. Get up!
Don't be like this anymore. Out!
Out! Out!
Out. Out. Out.
What are you doing here?
Don't do this, Teacher!
Teacher, please wait.
I've changed in these few years.
I haven't told you about my struggle to become a teacher.
Teacher!
Wait a moment.
I was expelled from other schools.
I feel very regretful.
I studied so very hard until I finally passed my exams.
Teacher, please believe me.
Believe what?
Teacher!
Are you joking?
Who's your teacher?
I am not your teacher.
I don't even have a student like you.
My memories of you have disappeared. After my nose was broken.
What are you doing? Hurry and get back.
What are you doing? Why aren't you in class?
Where are you going?
Na Bo Ri..
Even though you were expelled,
you didn't turn bad.
You got into university.
I want to meet that teacher.
I want to ask forgiveness for my mistakes.
I want to tell that teacher about my mistakes.
Principal Lee, were you looking for me?
Don't call me principal when it's just the two of us.
Are the interviews over?
Tae In has come back.
That child is finally home.
But that troublemaker ran away at the airport.
That is just like him.
How is this possible?
One fish will cause the soup to stink.
Isn't it April?
He acts up more in the spring.
I really don't understand. What is he lacking?
Why is he always like that?
It's me.
Where are you right now?
Tae In just used his credit card in Cheong Dan Dong.
Hurry and get him back!
Thank you for this dress.
What are you talking about?
This isn't for you.
What?
It's for [Jin Kau].
Thank you for being my model today.
If we meet next time, I will treat you to a bowl of noodles.
I will leave first.
Hey, Park Tae In.
Let me go!
Ouch!
How old are you now?
Sun Jae, today was not so good.
So?
So...
That's why I don't have money to buy a drink.
This place looks like it has lots of alcohol needles. Please inject me with one.
I don't have time to joke around with you.
Whose dress is this? It's become like this.
Evil woman.
You won't understand that today I really had a hard time.
Who asked you to go back to that school?
You failed again. Who would take someone who was expelled from school?
I already knew earlier that you wouldn't succeed.
So annoying.
You don't know anything.
You don't even know that I'm famous over there.
Do you remember Ae Jee?
The fat person?
Remember? That fat teacher has already been promoted to head teacher.
He recognized me immediately. Do you know what he said?
Na Bo Ri, I really don't believe it.
The naughtiest person in the country came for an interview and still he says he doesn't want to help me.
So why did you fail in the end?
That's because...
Even though the other teachers liked me...
Principal Lee was too mean.
Also, #464268!
If it wasn't for that person... If I hadn't met that person, I wouldn't be like this.
I would have succeeded this time.
Na Bo Ri, when you were fighting, were you hit on the head?
Let go! My shirt is dirty now.
Today, you will surely die!
Hey, you!
You! 4268!
The blue colored BMW!!
I talking to you!
Ajummah, who are you?
Ajummah?!
Don't you even feel embarrassed?
You really don't remember? The accident this morning.
Because of you, do you know how hard today has been?
Ah, the noodles!
Ajummah, why do you eat using your face and not your mouth?
What?!
May I apologize?
Let him go.
You should have done this before. Give me money for the dress.
Because of you, even this dress has become like this. Give me money for two dresses.
Two?
Where's my wallet?
What are you doing?! Let me go!
I've become the bad person. So let me be an exemplary one.
Don't fool around. This is your father's hospital.
You think I'm playing?
Please pass on this message to Chief Park Chung Sup.
I'm sorry for embarrassing him.
Wait! Release me and then talk.
Be patient for a little longer.
I don't know why you are doing this.
But today, I had a really rough time. It will be worse for you if you don't release me.
It's okay. My terms are not difficult to follow.
Also, the person who will be in trouble is not me but you.
Keep doing this, and I will really give you trouble.
Is that so? Why don't you try?
Sir, I know I was in the wrong.
Don't just confess.
Attacking the victim like this, and you still talk like that.
Hey, hurry and say something. You were the one who took me hostage, right?
Can you be quiet?
As someone who is older, what were you doing to this adolescent?
You.. are a high school student?
Yeah, why? I don't look like one?
What are you doing?! Sit down immediately!!
Now you're injuring yourself.
That's good.
Tae In took someone as a hostage.
Fortunately, not many people witnessed this. Those who did were all my people.
So, we were able to resolve the issue with words. The woman was the one who started it all.
Chief. I just arrived.
Yes.
I'm going in now.
Yes.
I am confused about one thing.
What are you talking about?
How old are you? 19?
I'm already 25.
There's a saying which goes like this...
A stupid person likes to use their age as an excuse.
- You!
Do you want to die?
You really want to die, huh?
What beautiful hands...
Give Oppa a kiss.
Stop causing more trouble!
Principal Lee.
May I take him back now?
Yes.
Aren't you ashamed to have become this sort of human being?
Didn't you also become like this for me?
You're afraid that you'll look bad in front of Mr. Park Chung Sup.
Don't talk nonsense.
If not for your father, I wouldn't even come to meet you.
Listen well.
I...
am not like you or your mother.
I really hate embarrassing situations such as this.
So?
Don't give me anymore trouble.
Even patience has its limits.
Bring him.
Yes.
Principal Lee...
This assailant?
Go by the law with her.
I understand.
What are you doing?
Let me go.
It wasn't me but your son who started it.
Let go of me!
- What are you doing? Hurry! - Yes!
Let me go!
It was your son who started it. Why must I stay here?
Please release me too.
Let go of me!
Please release me.
Let go of me!
Sister.
Hyun Woo!
Quick, help me!
Principal!
Teacher.
What are you doing, Hyun Woo? Let's go.
Sit down here!
Don't worry. I will resolve it.
Yes.
Someone like that also wants to be a teacher.
That young woman at the police station just now.
Earlier she came to our school for an interview.
Said she wanted to repay the person who inspired her to become a teacher.
Stupid girl!
What are you saying?
How can a person like that become a teacher?
Sister...
Do you know what is used to clean a charcoal drawing?
A piece of bread.
A piece of bread is used to clean off dirt.
To you, Tae In is like a charcoal drawing.
More dust will stick if you go near him.
That's why you don't want to be close to him.
Bo Ri is like the piece of bread.
She is a person who can very easily clean up the charcoal.
Tae In is probably in need of someone like that right now.
Byung Chim. What's up?
Did you succeed?
You didn't, did you?
Yeah.
Then, did you get to meet Teacher Ji Hyun Woo?
Did he remember you?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah...
He was really happy to meet me.
He also said he had really missed me.
Oh my!
So does that mean he likes you? So then, how did you tell him?
Hurry and tell me.
Of course, I told him...
I also really missed him.
It's been 6 years.
Everyday, I missed him even until tears fell.
He said it was the same for him.
He said he missed me so much that his heart broke.
And then...
Woo Byung Chim, aren't you going to congratulate me?
Will you congratulate me?
Of course, congratulations to you, Na Bo Ri!
Say it one more time. Congratulate me one more time, girl!
Na Bo Ri, congratulations! Congrats, congrats!
What are you saying?
If we release him, who knows what he will do next.
No, that's why we should.
Are you going to keep him confined all his life?
How long can you keep him that way?
It doesn't matter how long.
Don't let him out until he comes to his senses.
Chief, Park Tae In has escaped to the hospital's lobby.
What?
What are we going to do?
Do you want everyday to be like this?
What was the plan you mentioned earlier?
Sir, can I really leave?
Yes, of course.
Really?
How many times must you ask?!
Sir..
Before I go, there is something I must tell you.
Justice must prevail!
Na Bo Ri, come here!!
Here, eat.
I didn't do anything wrong...
Ajummah, do you have chili sauce?
What did you do wrong this time?
It really wasn't my fault this time.
Yes?
Miss Na Bo Ri?
Yes, who's this?
This is Principal Lee from Jung Suk High School.
Na Bo Ri is dead.
What?
Go to school?
Why?
I was just released.
What else does she want me to confess to?
Hello.
Na..Na Bo Ri,
what are you doing here?
Out. Get out!
I didn't come for an interview.
Today, I am Principal Lee's guest.
Principal Lee?
Why does the Principal want to meet with someone like you?
What did you want to see me about?
I will make this clear.
Okay.
Start work tomorrow.
Okay.
What?!
What did you just say?
Miss Na Bo Ri,
starting tomorrow, you are a teacher at our school.
I know Principal Lee doesn't like me..
You're only joking right?
I...
don't have the time to joke with you.
Then...
You really are taking me on as a teacher here?
But..
There is one condition.
Condition? Ah, the salary?
Just make it the same as everyone else's.
- Lawyer.
This is the contract. Please read it.
Con.. tract?
If you don't have a problem with these conditions, then..
Principal Lee wants to hire you as a teacher for the term of one year.
What is the condition?
The bedroom is here.
What is the condition?
Someone will come to clean the place. So you don't have to worry.
Also...
Oh yes..
Don't touch the drawing over there.
I will take it back another time.
I am asking you, what condition?
You don't want to go back to school, is that it?
I can use this room but I must go back to school?
You think I will accept this condition?
Do you want to live here freely while going to school?
Or...
Do you want to go back to the hospital?
Choose.
This is too much!
This is not a contract. It is just like a set of military regulations.
So you refuse then.
Wait!
I will do it!
I will work willingly.
Thank you, Principal Lee.
I don't care how I did it, but I passed.
Yes, I passed.
Bo Ri!
You have become a teacher.
Finally I'm back.
Bo Ri, you are a teacher!
Cheers!
Na Bo Ri, if you look down on us now that you're a teacher, you are dead!
Woo Byung Chim
Are you brave?
Raise your hands.
All of you raise your hands!
Yes, Teacher!
Bo Ri...
You must become a great teacher. You must teach well.
Just think about us.
Don't teach the students to become like us.
What about us?
Because I work at a bath house, you look down on me?
Say it again.
Hurry and drink.
Cheers!
Lee Tae Kee.
Woo Byung Chim.
I feel my chest is going to explode.
My heart won't stop racing. I feel as if I'm going crazy.
Right now, I want to do one thing.
I may not be able to do it after becoming a teacher. Feeling brave?
You want to... ?!
Let's go together!
Hurry!
Teacher!
Louder, louder.
Teacher!
I am also a teacher now.
I...
I can stand next to you again.
Six years have already been wasted.
I really want to stand next to you.
I have really worked hard in these six years.
So that in the future..
I could stand next to you.
I can stand next to you, right?
Teach--
Why are you shouting so loudly this late at night?
Who are you?
You!
The fierce lady!
You..
Why are you in there?!
