Who is it? Is it Ko Dong-man?
What's going on?
Who is it?
Every storm in life finds you when you have your guard down.
CALM BEFORE THE STORM
Last week, they robbed the neighbors and took everything.
-Hey, Ko Dong-man! -You scared me!
I said to be quiet.
Who would be inside here? Stop being an idiot and come quickly.
No, I'm sure of it.
I'm certain there was someone in there. I saw toe socks!
Why are you so slow?
-Slow? -It's the landlady's personal life.
-What? -She had lipstick on.
Why would she have lipstick on at home?
For her lover.
But you being so slow... Why would you do that there?
That's why...
So this is what a woman's sixth sense is.
But you...
Have you seen Park Hye-ran come outside?
I haven't seen her at all.
Why are you concerned about that?
See you.
What? What? You want to follow me inside?
Don't come inside my house anymore. I'm tired now.
What's tiring?
If someone else saw, they'd think I...
What? Make you tired or something?
You do tire me.
Is this a barracks? Why should a man and woman...
Until when...
Is this some kind of boot camp for Ko Dong-man?
Go sleep.
What are you guys doing there?
Mom, who are they?
No.
Out of the two, who is it?
Mom?
Yes, I'm Madame Hwang's only son, Kim Nam-il.
Obba, I know why you're here, but...
don't tell me to hide anymore.
Why now, after living quietly?
Have I been quiet?
There wasn't a single time where I was living quietly.
For the past 30 years,
I've never acted like I wasn't a mother. You know that.
Still. Why would you reveal it now?
If he's that Hwang Bok-hee's son,
would it still be that bad?
His legs gave way.
Why? What is it?
So you will go to that weigh-in or whatever?
Why are you using your feet like that on your boyfriend?
What's the point of dating if you want to be selfish?
What am I? An accessory?
That's right!
You said your job interviews tomorrow overlap, right?
Which one are you going to?
Did I ever say to never fight again?
I just said don't compete against Kim Tak-su! You really...
Hey, lower the volume.
He should hold his neck, so he won't be able to attack anymore.
What's that sound?
She's...
actually living in there, right?
Are you a village chief? Why do you care?
CERTIFICATION OF CONTENTS
Bok-hee had a grown son like that?
Why are you all serious?
Who's serious?
You know, since we're here, should we see the kids?
You're always so lacking in your brain department.
What would you tell the kids?
Are you going to say you came to see Hwang Bok-hee?
But why did you come anyway?
I live in Bucheon!
What's that got to do with anything?
I told you. My house is in Bucheon. There's a bus that comes here in one shot.
You call that an excuse? What kind of a load of crap.
What?
Gosh.
Hey!
-What? -For your digestion,
and eat yeot.
Hey, but they're really funny though.
Maybe you left quite an impression when you yelled at them?
Is it something like, you're the first interviewee that rebelled like that?
Choi Ae-ra.
As a senior in life, let me give you some advice.
Please don't.
You're not going to pass me anyway.
Then don't hurt me, either. I have a right to not be hurt.
Let's go.
The interview for the ring announcer is also today, right?
How could they both be on the same day?
So you're sure you're going to the announcer thing. Not the octagon?
Of course, it's been my dream ever since I was six.
Was your dream an announcer or the mic?
What?
As your boyfriend, friend,
and someone who has witnessed your life for the past 23 years,
if I give you honest advice,
you're not made to be an announcer.
Hey! Why are you discouraging me before my interview? You're bringing bad luck.
You're too good to be just sitting down. A psycho should fly.
Still... An announcer seems like something mainstream.
I'd like to be a part of that.
Hey, isn't where you are the mainstream for you?
What?
Isn't where you're happy the mainstream for you?
So... Just go with the thing that makes your heart beat faster.
Still, I made it to the final interview for the announcer. I can't reject that.
It's crazy.
RFC KIM TAK-SU VS. KO DONG-MAN PRESS CONFERENCE
-Tak-su. -Yes?
That person...
Why did you come to Korea?
I have come here to train the first Asian fighter to represent my family.
Is that the only reason you came to Korea, because of him?
Focus on him. I'm just here to be in the shadow.
He's the one that's going to step in the ring.
Since when have you known fighter Ko Dong-man?
Please pose.
SEOUL TO CHEONGJU
Number 11, Choi Ae-ra?
Is Choi Ae-ra not here?
Yes.
Choi Ae-ra is here.
Mainstream is what makes you happy.
So... just go with the thing that makes your heart beat faster.
I think the innovative strategy for the popularization of MMA is...
the hearts of women.
The only women in the octagon, the ring girls.
But with only ring girls, you can't win the hearts of women.
A professional woman that leads the game
in front of the athletes, not by their side,
I think that's the key to gaining women's hearts.
Still, isn't a female announcer too unconventional?
It's not unconventional. It's innovative.
What?
Oh well, let's just wing it.
If I don't make it here,
I will immediately apply for ring announcer of the rival league.
Then Chairman,
you'll lose the first ever female ring announcer right in front of your eyes.
However, I am kind of tight on time right now.
Yes.
So, there is no need to hear any more. You passed.
-Yes? -You're in.
No, why? How can it be this easy...
You are good. Also, you stand out.
Excuse me. I am, uh... On the back of the resume,
I enclosed my master's degree that I obtained in England.
You don't need a master's degree to hold a microphone.
In the ring, all that matters are your skills.
Here?
I love it.
Then you'll start with the next big match right away.
The big match is a little... We already cast someone.
Why is John Carlos wearing the Sausages shirt?
Why is he being the second for Go Dong-man?
-Right. What kind of variable is this? -Take it away.
Take it away. Take it all away and bring it back to me!
Tell him we'll pay more than Hwang Jang-ho.
-Tak-su, do you think he's here for money? -What?
Try giving him millions, he still won't come to you.
Burn up that gym, deport him,
or soften up the referees!
Do something!
Seeing how you act, you've already lost.
What? Why?
Why are you like this all of a sudden?
I won't do it anymore even if you give me millions.
What?
Fifteen years ago,
when Dong-man came to me before he went to Coach Hwang,
I recognized his talents,
but I fell for your family's millions.
Coach Hwang who picked the iron ax became a general,
but I've become a jerk with my student of 15 years.
I'm sorry I couldn't guide you properly.
Why is that? Why does it have to be her?
If a celebrity throws the first pitch, it will begin trending on the web.
Anchor Park coming to see the game created a lot of buzz.
What does MMA have to do with a celebrity?
Excuse me?
The chairman is from abroad.
He doesn't really know about domestic conditions.
Then can I see you do it?
Are you telling me to audition?
I'm was asked to be here to donate my talents.
I heard you get paid ten times more than that person.
Then that's not a donation.
If you're ten times more expensive, you should be ten times better.
Isn't that how it should be?
What's wrong? Are you not confident?
It's not a question of confidence. It's a question of pride.
I... passed. Passed.
I passed immediately.
You beat Park Hye-ran.
Earlier, I was like that because I was put on the spot,
but it's nice meeting you.
Yes, well. It's okay.
By the way, I didn't think Park Hye-ran would actually come.
I heard she's been rejected everywhere and has no work. It must be true.
Why doesn't she have a job?
Would Hyesung Group want to see their divorced daughter-in-law on TV?
I heard it would be hard for her to come back to the mainstream.
Even nowadays, the negative comments are brutal.
I'm impressed that she didn't kill herself.
Where did she put her car, now that she's riding the bus?
That goes to our neighborhood.
Just follow me until you ride the local bus.
Why should I follow you?
-How much is it? -1,300 won.
Please wait a moment.
For two.
Wow, awesome. Isn't that Park Hye-ran?
She ditched her boyfriend and made frantic attempts to marry a chaebol.
I don't care about Park Hye-ran. Just live quietly.
You could still probably find that picture.
Here is the link for that picture.
It's not that. What do I say to Sul-hee?
It's not like I'm homeless,
and the Namil Bar excuse won't work.
It's my match tomorrow. Then do I sleep alone? I can't recharge?
-Just... should we just tell? -You will?
You're a jerk, right?
You came on to me first.
Jeez, you! I ought to fly an elbow towards you!
Hey. You can't say those words to your boyfriend.
Oh, plum plum?
It's peaches.
I just like plums these days, don't I?
I told you it's peaches.
But why are you guys here and not going inside?
We should go in.
Now, dismissed.
Sul-hee.
Yes?
I will sleep with Ae-ra today.
It's my match tomorrow.
I really need a recharge from Ae-ra.
Let me borrow her for one day.
No, that... Sul-hee. You see...
I will lend her.
Take her.
Hey, Soondae.
Are you finishing up your business?
I'm not Soondae, I'm Jang-ho. Jang for general and Ho for tiger.
NATIONAL ATHLETE'S SAUSAGES
I came because I have a favor to ask of you, jagi.
Jagi?
Not that.
Ah... that's right.
My favor, can you grant it? Are you tight lipped?
I will grant whatever it is.
Please keep this.
Jang-ho, hold onto this for now, and then...
My girlfriend is so great. How can you get in right away?
Then if I win tomorrow, are you the one doing the interview?
So you should win.
I can't interview Kim Tak-su if he wins even if I die.
I should win.
Are you scared?
Are you a little scared?
Honestly?
Hey! Stop being honest. You should just say that you aren't scared.
It's the 15 minutes that took ten years to earn. I will never lose.
So don't worry.
Dong-man.
During the 15 minutes of your fight,
I will watch over you without blinking.
I will be right below the octagon.
I will watch over you so that nothing happens.
Such a small punk always saying that she would protect me.
Whatever you do, after 15 minutes, the situation is over.
When you open your eyes, I will be right beside you.
How I really feel is that...
So that you can't get up tomorrow, when you sleep...
I want to shoot you with a tranquilizer.
Stop crying.
I won't lose, so you don't wail.
If you were just some kind of an okay guy,
I would tell you to go do it.
But I don't just like you.
I really like you so much.
So how can I do that? How can I?
Why do you so easily confess your feelings?
So disgustingly cute.
I'm sorry, but...
I like you so much.
I don't think I can do it.
Because you love me so much, you want to protect me?
No.
Because I really like you so much...
I can't stop myself today.
You are really like a dog. You are really like Bok Shil.
You really shot me with a tranquilizer, right?
Why don't I want to get up?
Do you want to continue sleeping? I will take care of the coach.
But then...
Yes?
These days, I really like you a whole lot.
I like you to the point of wondering if a person could like another this much.
But that wasn't nonsense.
What?
More than yesterday... today...
I like you 500 times more.
This jerk is too honest.
Every time you just come at me like this, I get arrhythmia.
How could I have left you and held it in for 20 years?
I must have been a poop dummy.
I...
You like me even more like that?
Yes.
I like your poop belly.
I like your short arms and legs.
I like your scent, too.
From you, there's a seaweed soup scent,
which I like a lot.
I like you so much.
Ae-ra.
Why would seaweed soup smell come out of a person?
Do you want to go in together?
Look at this jerk!
I'm so embarrassed. I'm so embarrassed, I could die.
You said you'll protect me!
This is something between girls.
What do I say to Sul-hee?
I should have dried my hair before coming out.
-Ae-ra. -You want to go together?
Fighting.
The weather is so nice, so I think it's good to hang the laundry outside.
The weather's totally like summer.
Because it's July.
You held it in for 20 years, and you make trouble in the end.
Why did you come without permission?
Are you my girlfriend?
What are you doing?
You cried, right?
Wow, you cried. You cried, punk.
I just yawned.
Are you heartbroken?
Is your diaphragm all ripped up?
Why does my diaphragm have to become the subject of your jokes?
Don't be so down and get up.
Why?
Hey, Kim Joo-man. I've known you for ten years.
As for Sul-hee, I've known her for 20 years.
Whenever you and her fight, I'm definitely on her side.
Leave. Get out.
Sul-hee is not 99 percent a nice person, she's 100 percent a nice person.
To give such unbelievable Sul-hee to you, she's too good for that.
Sul-hee's an angel.
But I don't trust other men. Out of all of them, you're the best.
So go downstairs and beg for forgiveness.
-However, in that house... -What?
Ae-ra's there, too.
I have a match today,
so shouldn't our Fantastic 4 all come together for breakfast?
That's our history and custom.
Why are you giving Joo-man that?
No, I'm fine.
I like wooden chopsticks.
There are three fried eggs.
I'm fine because I have high cholesterol.
What do you mean high cholesterol...
Sul-hee, hurry up and let's eat.
The perpetrator is eating, so why should the victim avoid eating?
Ae-ra, what is this?
What?
Is this voice phishing?
Is the plum wine you made available for purchase?
I wanted to purchase mulberry wine.
Why? Why would they want to buy my wine?
Are they scammers?
You're the one receiving money, so how are they scammers?
If anything, you'll be the one scamming them.
For example, you receive their money, but you don't send it to them.
There are strange people on the web, too, so...
Since you make it so neatly and cleanly, everyone who's seen it wants to buy it.
I would also like to purchase it.
Oh, Koala Fairy wants to buy it, too.
The ID koala seems suspicious...
They must've really wanted it bad.
One person opens it up and now everybody wants it.
What is going on? No, then how much should I sell these for?
First, let's figure out the production cost.
How much net profit per bottle do you want to make?
I'm not sure.
A net profit should be set, considering additional expenses...
About...
-700 won? -Might as well not sell it, then.
Then...
800 won?
It won't even cover the bus fare to go to the post office.
Them 1,100 won.
-Think it over. -What? What? What?
Is that too expensive?
DONGCHOON GYMNASIUM
I heard a lot about you. I'll leave myself in your care.
Sir, thank you so much for your cooperation.
Of course I should cooperate.
I'm fine.
I'm really not scared.
I'm about to go to a fight, you shouldn't sigh.
Gosh.
I have a match today, yet you hit my head?
Thinking about it again, I take back saying you should win.
You can lose. You can just lose.
So tap. If it's painful, then tap. Make sure to tap.
It hasn't even started and you're telling me to tap?
If you don't tap, I'll go up and end it.
I will really climb over the fence.
I got it. If I think I might die, I'll tap.
I will go on my back and call it quits.
But if I can handle it, I'll make it a decisive win.
Why is this dude all fired up?
So, you go for it today as well.
Last week, I drank beer with Mr. Kim until 11 p.m.
You don't have to tell me those things anymore.
We met at 8 p.m. and I got dumped right away,
During the whole three hours, all he talked about was you.
Mr. Kim said...
he'll choose you over Mansur's daughter.
Mr. Kim, let's go home.
-Honestly... -Be careful.
Let go. I'm fine.
Even if it's not Grandma Park's,
but Mansur's daughter, Sul-hee is the one for me.
I get it now.
To me, Sul-hee's pretty than Kim Tae-hee. She kind of looks like Lee Young-ae.
You guys are as if Park Bo-gum and Lee Young-ae are a couple.
Even that hair...
That hair looks good because Sul-hee did it. If you did it...
Me too. Out of all the guys I used to like,
you're the fattest one.
Why did I fight with Sul-hee because of you?
I deserve to be shot dead.
I thought that because of you he was being, well...
Anyway, he kept rejecting me.
You said you live in Oksu-dong, right? That's on my way.
Do you want me to drop you off?
Get in. Hurry, quickly. Get in the car!
No, I have another appointment.
Should we eat it together?
Let's get tteokbokki next time. Next time, I'll invite all the interns
and we can all eat it together.
Ye-jin, you should also...
I hope you'll keep your boundaries.
Now, I hope that you'll seriously stop.
Even though he said he didn't like it, I thought he was just saying that.
What are you trying to say to me?
I wanted to draw it without Mr. Kim, but...
I just drew it.
Why are you giving me this?
To make my heart more at ease.
Since I made a nice unnie shed tears,
I didn't want to be cursed that I'd cry tears of blood.
And my heart was pretty uneasy.
I really...
I really wanted to apologize sincerely before I go.
Are you going somewhere?
Good job!
Since we're having company dinner already,
I'll just take this as my farewell party as well.
Still, how can we send you off all the way to England without a farewell party?
Ye-jin, they say British guys are really handsome.
From now on, I plan on studying hard instead of chasing after guys.
Sul-hee.
Sul-hee?
When are you going there again?
Want to go together next time?
Those things are more fun when you go with someone.
Okay, when the time comes.
-Here, meat. -Oh, thank you.
I feel like if I eat this, I'll die.
That's when it's most tasty. You've never had it like this before.
Perhaps, the weekend is a little...
Of course, you have to go on dates and, of course, you have a boyfriend, right?
Stop poking around, you bastard.
I guess you didn't know, Chan-ho.
Chan-ho?
I had one, but we broke up not too long ago.
Excuse me! Can we have more charcoal?
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Here at Grand Dongchoon today,
there will be a 38th RFC match, the greatest combat league of Korea.
Thank you for visiting us today.
Please give big applause for the athletes and the game.
This is not the last match of Ko Dong-man, but his first.
No matter what, be careful of injuries and don't fall into Tak-su's pace.
No ground fight, yet. Keep it in mind.
Coach, it took me ten years to be here. I'm going to fight without any regret.
Open up.
Enjoy it.
Which one is it?
Among the two... Which one is it?
This match will have three rounds. The referee is Im Tae-wook.
Corner!
Okay. Okay.
Ready, fight!
I told you to put a tray underneath! It's dangerous!
Excuse me. Could you lift the grill?
Be careful, please.
Mr. Kim, are you okay?
Sul-hee, are you okay?
Athlete Ko avoids Kim Tak-su's signature kick.
What was that? That kick looked exactly like Kim Tak-su's.
Corner.
He wobbled for sure just now. He took some impact for sure.
Tak-su, are you okay?
Tak-su, standing won't do. You got to bring him to the ground.
Keep your mind straight and avoid a ground fight. Got it?
Get on his nerves.
When he acts up and gets enraged, bring him down to the ground.
Okay! Okay! Ready, fight!
I don't think anyone would've expected this match to be such a close match.
Although Kim Tak-su is in good condition today,
I wonder why he's like that against a rookie.
Standing.
Fight!
Come in. Come in, you jerk.
Dong-man, don't fall for it! No ground!
Come in.
It looks like Ko Dong-man is trying to avoid ground skills,
but you can also say that Kim Tak-su is avoiding standing match with Ko Dong-man.
What's wrong? Are you scared to fight ground?
Is it because your sister is always sitting that you want to fight standing?
Dong-man, no!
Yes!
Hold out intention could be pretty uncertain depending on the looks of it.
If you seem to be losing, hit him with your head.
Let's drag it to an invalid game.
Seriously...
If you end it making it look like you led the game,
I'll take care of the media afterward.
Where else can you get hurt?
What are you doing?
A talisman, so you don't get hit or hurt where I kissed you.
My ear hurts.
Then...
Don't get hit in your eyes.
Here too.
-There? -Yeah.
-Here, here, too. -There, too?
-Here, too. -There, too?
I think I might get hit.
I couldn't move a single step.
For two, please.
This is severe.
Coach, I'm okay.
I'm totally okay.
I'm okay. Don't stop!
I can fight! I want to fight!
Coach, tell them to not do it.
Tell them to not do it. Don't stop it!
Don't stop it! I said I can fight!
This match, second round, two minutes 17 seconds in, due to Ko Dong-man's injury
this match will be invalid in accordance with the terms.
It will be marked as a "no contest."
I can do it!
I told you I'll fight till the end!
Why? I said I can, so why?
Don't stop it! I will do it!
I will do it!
Mom.
Are you sad?
But Mom. You don't like me calling you Mom anymore, right?
What?
There are so many abandoned dogs these days.
And among the many reasons,
there is one reason...
that's most beautiful yet shitty.
When they get their own kid, the beautiful parents full of love...
abandon their dog.
What are you trying to tell me?
It's only right to bite when they take yours away.
I told you... to leave the kids alone.
Right, Mom. What did you do with that flip phone?
Dude, just come in. Why--
Tell us about today's match.
I think I was in a leading position.
I'm very sorry that the match had to be halted due to opponent's injury.
But you know, they say it's invalid, but injury is also your ability.
Tak-su! Tak-su! Is your head alright?
Coach, where were you all this time?
Your head. Tak-su!
-Tak-su! -What's wrong?
-Tak-su! -Tak-su!
What's wrong?
-Tak-su! -Tak-su!
-Call the ambulance. -Kim Tak-su.
Coach Choi, once you arrive at the hospital, give me a call.
I will.
Follow me, punk. Let's go to the hospital.
Did I scare you? I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Ae-ra.
I told you to tap. Coach told you no ground fight.
I'm okay.
If you're just going to do whatever you want, then why do you go out with me?
Why do you tell me that you love me?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I did wrong.
But I didn't severely get hurt.
So everything's okay.
Didn't you see Kim Tak-su stretchered off?
Can you not do this thing?
Aren't you too cruel to me?
No matter how much...
No matter how much I see you get beat,
I don't get used to it.
I just can't watch it!
If you keep on doing this, I don't want to see you.
I don't want to date you.
-Ae-ra... -If I tell you not to do it...
Ae-ra!
What's wrong?
Dong-man... what's wrong?
What's wrong? What is it?
Why? Why?
Why are you talking like that?
What?
Why aren't you making any sound?
Why is nothing making any sound?
Why? Why?
Why is everything quiet? Why?
The storm has passed and the world shut down.
Why do you ask, punk?
I turned it off.
