This is DJ Wanseung's pirate radio show.
EPISODE 6
We'll start today's show with a story from Baekho, seeking advice.
Hello, Wanseung.
I fought with my brother yesterday.
-Wait! -Because of the way I behaved…
-It's my story. -…he is very disappointed in me.
But instead, I got mad at him and said mean things to him.
I think I hurt his feelings. What should I do?
Wanseung read my story.
Do you even need to ask? Just apologize.
Baekho, practice makes perfect even when it comes to apologizing.
I doubt you would want to become an immature person who can't apologize.
Am I right?
Right.
INTERNET CAFE
Yi-jin. Isn't this a place for playing computer games?
Why did you want to come here with me?
Sit down here for a minute.
Just a moment.
Honey, have you been doing well?
How could I be doing well
when I know you're not.
I want to see you…
and hold you.
My heart is aching from how much I'm missing you, Honey.
CHAT WITH BACK SEONG-HAK
Tell me about it.
It's raining outside,
but my heart feels dry like a desert.
Even if I end up dying from the heat, walking across that desert,
I will be with you, my darling.
Gosh.
I've never written anything like this.
Even if I end up dying crossing that desert,
I want to be with you.
Honey…
Your uncle seems to want to continue working with you.
You don't mind, do you?
It's not as big as what we had back in Seoul,
but he owns 13 stores at the market.
He is sort of a leader in Pohang and is a successful businessman.
He has strong business acumen. I've learned a lot from him.
But then again, why would you be interested in business?
You've been forced to move here because of your dad and his business.
Do you find it okay staying here?
Well, this is my hometown.
A place I find strange and uncomfortable.
Where I fled to after throwing everything away.
Right, Yi-jin. I have something to say to you.
What is it?
In Seoul…
Yes?
You have to buy an apartment in Apgujeong.
They're now at their lowest price.
How could I afford that?
What? You don't even have that much?
What did you do in Seoul, not saving up?
I know. I've been so lazy.
After the business went under,
I had to get divorced on paper and we've ended up like this.
Still, I've never once regretted marrying your dad.
We loved and respected each other
all our lives.
And we still do.
You should also meet someone like that.
Someone that inspires you to improve just by being together.
That is what a truly successful life is, you silly.
Mom.
Yes?
I want to go to Seoul.
I'm done with running away.
I'm going to start over.
All right. I believe in you.
I've missed you.
But I saw you
because you showed yourself to me.
So, I got to smile today.
PAYPHONE
Congratulations on the bronze medal.
I told you before
that seeing you accomplish something
makes me want to accomplish something too.
I think now it's time for me to try and accomplish something.
Did Full House volume 14 come out yet?
I'll show up before volume 15 comes out.
Wait for me, Hee-do.
PAYPHONE
JOURNALIST EXAM PRACTICE QUESTIONS
Yi-jin, it's me.
Do you know what changed about you after we went bankrupt?
You don't listen to music anymore.
Even if life gets tough, don't give up on the things you like.
And quit smoking.
I asked you to wear perfume, not because of the fish smell,
but because you reeked of cigarettes.
Once you get to Seoul, live your life doing whatever you can,
whether it be success or failure.
And stop worrying about me. It's too much pressure.
Lastly, I'm sorry for talking back the other day.
I sincerely apologize.
5 MONTHS LATER
He is so fast, gosh!
-Gosh! -Hey!
-Stop following me! -No!
I can do this!
-Yes I got it! -No!
PAYPHONE
Hey.
If you have time to rant, go find another one.
You've got ten minutes.
You'll pay for this. I mean it.
Good luck!
Trainee reporter Back Yi-jin speaking.
Do you have a phone?
-Can't we use a cellphone? -You idiot.
Who in their right mind uses a cellphone to report the news?
The hospital area is crowded with patients, medics, and reporters.
The station wouldn't hold up. Can you take the fall if you get cut off?
I'm sorry, sir. I will find a landline immediately.
Yes.
Gosh, that place is open.
Trainee reporter Back Yi-jin speaking.
Do you have a phone?
Yes, sir.
What is that sound? Where are you now?
Well, the thing is, I'm at a pet salon,
where dogs get a bath.
Are you nuts? Where's your head at?
Do you want dogs barking on the news?
-I'll persuade them. -Persuade what?
I'll persuade the dogs.
I see.
Hey, guys.
Listen. Dogs and humans go way back. We're friends. You know that, right?
You have to cut your friend some slack.
Stay quiet, just for 30 seconds.
It's my first time reporting the main news,
and my future depends on this.
I'm really desperate.
All I'm asking for is only 30 seconds.
You're listening to this while eating, right?
Yi-jin, are you on standby?
Yes, I'm ready.
It was a massive accident, but thankfully, there were no casualties.
We'll now hear from Hanam Jaeshin Hospital for an update on the victims.
Live from the scene, Back Yi-jin reports.
Cue!
Yes, here at Hanam Jaeshin Hospital,
there are 24 patients hospitalized from today's accident.
A 31-year-old Mr. Kim is in surgery due to a head injury,
but his life is unaffected.
Nine were seriously injured, and eighteen were slightly injured
but three of them were released due to minor damage.
The hospital reports all slightly injured patients
will be released from the hospital by the day after tomorrow at the latest.
From Hanam Jaeshin Hospital…
this is Back Yi-jin, for UBS news.
You idiot!
A pet salon?
Out of all the other places? Are you insane?
All payphones were taken by other reporters.
That was the only store that was open.
I'm sorry, sir.
Yes, I'll make sure to never let this happen again.
Yes.
I want to stop being told off.
BOOKS
Now I find a quiet bookstore.
BEST BOOKS AND STATIONARY
I should have come down just one more block.
FULL HOUSE VOLUME 15 AVAILABLE
A bright future for fencing in Korea.
Ko Yu-rim wins gold, Na Hee-do wins bronze.
My precious reward money.
This is just great.
Excuse me, sir.
I'm sorry, but due to changes in the aviation security act this March,
inflight smoking is now prohibited.
Excuse me?
So we can't smoke on planes anymore?
No.
What is this world coming to?
Congratulations on the bronze medal, Ms. Na.
How did you know?
You're our national star athlete.
of course I should know.
It's an honor to serve you.
Thank you.
Would you like something to drink?
-Orange juice, please. -Sure.
-Here you go. -Thank you.
CERTIFICATE OF AWARD
It's only the gold I haven't won.
Then I'll work on winning one.
I'm counting on you for the Asian Games too.
NATIONAL TEAM MEMBER NA HEE-DO
And please look after
the person who gave you to me.
Help him out when things are hard.
What?
Hee-do!
Are you here for the midterms?
Yes. You weren't at the broadcasting room, so I thought you'd be here.
How have you been?
As usual.
But a lot has changed for you.
You've been sweeping medals in all kinds of international games.
I go around telling people that we are close.
I don't have many friends, so I'd say we're close.
Really? We are?
Then feel free to use this space whenever since we're close.
Really?
Thanks!
And here.
TAE YANG HIGH SCHOOL BROADCASTING CLUB
Thanks for these. I enjoyed them.
Have you heard from Yi-jin?
Yes. Just once, about a few months ago.
Gosh, he's so rude!
I'm sure he will show up.
He said he will.
Let's go.
It's your first time coming to school this year.
Do you know what class we're in?
-"We?" -Yes, "we."
We're all in the same class.
You, me, Ji-woong and Yu-rim.
The answer is number 1 for question 23.
Number 3 for question 24,
-Number 3 for question 25. -You can sit over there.
Hey!
Glad to see me?
Of course!
You're here, so Yu-rim will be here too.
Right.
That is what is going to happen.
-Hi. -Ji-woong. Are we in the same class again?
Yes. I'm now class three's pretty boy.
Congratulations on winning gold and silver and all sorts of numerous medals.
Thank you.
So which exam do we have today?
Math.
Number three is the most common answer to questions prepared by our math teacher.
If you want to guess, go for number three.
I see. I wasn't sure which number to pick for guessing the answers.
Thanks. Are you going for number three, too?
Me?
I'm going to solve the problems.
You're an athlete, and I am a student.
That's true. You must be good at studying.
I'm not all that bad.
PERIOD 1 MATH, PERIOD 2 ENGLISH, PERIOD 3 KOREAN
NA HEE-DO, MATH
Answer number 1 for question 21.
Number 3 for question 22.
Number 1 for question 23.
Number 3 for question 24.
And number 3 for question 25.
-Yes! -I got question 23 wrong.
-Gosh. -Did you get it?
MOON JI-WOONG, 9 POINTS
Wait a minute.
Then it adds up to 17, 18, 19 and…
21 POINTS
KO YU-RIM, 30 POINTS
I'm going to take a taxi to NTC. Do you want to share?
No.
Hey, Hee-do!
That's a designer brand bag.
It's pretty.
Can I try it on just once?
-Go ahead. -Yes!
You're going to put it on backward?
-I want it. -Give it.
Let's swap.
Give it back.
-I'm off. -Bye.
-Hey. -Yes?
Pretes? Allez.
LET'S WIN GOLD AT GYEONGJU!
WE WISH OUR ATHLETES ALL THE BEST
YOUR EFFORTS WILL BEAR FRUIT
Pretes? Allez.
Hey, Yu-rim.
Why do you always lose against Hee-do?
Listen, kid. This is the Asian Games.
Don't you know that the entire country will be watching?
If you don't win the gold medal,
your fame and reputation will crumble.
You can't do this when we're throwing our weight behind you.
You can't lose against her. Do you understand?
Yes.
Please, Yu-rim.
Don't let down the ones who believe in you.
That does it.
From tomorrow, you'll train at night.
Be ready by 8 p.m. Okay?
Gosh.
What was that?
Was that the wind?
Be more careful. We share this place.
I heard that you'll train at night from tomorrow.
It'll be my bedtime, so be quiet on your way in and out.
Did you eavesdrop?
Why would I?
I overheard.
You seemed terrified in case I'd win the gold medal.
Shouldn't you be having that kind of talk somewhere private at least?
Do you think I like standing there listening to that crap?
So what? That's your problem.
What annoys me is how you're always involved in my problems.
Coach has been giving me an earful every day since you've joined us.
He always goes on about you and the gold medal.
Every day since you got here!
Then beat me.
Do I have to let you win?
The Federation supports you, and you're a star.
Does that mean I have to let you win?
I can read you like a book the moment you stand in front of me. What can I do?
Your upper body leans forward when you're thinking of attacking.
Your back foot is behind when you're about to retreat,
and your hands are down when you have a lot on your mind.
You're an open book!
But can you read me?
Can you?
What do you know about me?
Have you studied my fencing?
You haven't. Why?
You are incapable of admitting that I'm on my way up.
I told you.
I was your fan…
and I've replayed your bouts hundreds of times to copy and learn.
That umbrella you cherish so dearly because your fan gave it to you,
is from me.
Use it! Don't get wet!
I'm just a fan!
Thanks for the umbrella!
That is
how much I liked you, Yu-rim.
So I studied you like crazy.
Then you should have just stayed a fan.
How dare you come all the way here and cause trouble?
-Are you crazy? -Let go of me.
-Say that again! -Let me go!
Say that again!
Hey, I said let go of me!
-Darn it! Let me go! -Hey!
-You! Let me go! -Damn it!
-Let me go! -Let go of me!
I said, stop it!
Hey!
What are you two doing?
HEAD OF SPORTS DEPARTMENT KIM HAK-GYU
Come in.
Sir, these are the trainees who will be joining us starting next week.
Okay.
Didn't I mention this?
To prepare for the Asian Games next month, the sports dept needs more reporters.
So you'll fill in.
Go on. Introduce yourself.
Hello. I'm Jung Da-yeong, a trainee reporter.
Hello. Kwon Dong-uk, a trainee reporter.
Hello. Back Yi-jin, a trainee reporter.
It's you, the eldest son from Sanil Constructions.
Yes, sir.
The young master who went from riches to rags joined us.
But you look young. How old are you?
-I'm 23. -I see.
So you're the first high school graduate reporter to have joined us at UBS.
That's impressive.
An international event is no joke.
Don't try to take initiative
and just do well on the tasks that you're given.
It is your sixth month in, so you should know better.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
-Jung-hyuk? -Yes, sir.
Come with me to the draw for the Asian Games broadcasting rights.
No, I'm not going.
You're going to give me an earful if we get unlucky.
Are you going to entrust our future to my pair of jinxed hands?
Then take one of these youngsters with you.
It would be better if you want to pass the buck.
-Hey, Back Yi-jin. -Yes.
You come with me.
-Me, sir? -Yes.
You must be very lucky
to become a reporter with just a high school diploma.
Free up some time tomorrow.
Yes, sir. I will.
The three stations literally gather
to do a random draw and decide on what to broadcast during the Asian Games.
Let's say cycling, handball,
and a Korea-Japan soccer match all take place at the same time.
Then all stations will want to broadcast the soccer game.
To prevent that from happening, the three stations gather
to make a draw to decide on what to broadcast.
But since we're at it,
what do we need to pick?
At last, we have the Korea-Japan soccer match at stake.
This round is for broadcasting rights on June 30th at 3 p.m.
Gosh, I'm nervous.
The game happening at the same time is
wrestling.
It will be an easy win for Sim Kwon-ho.
And the last one left is
the fencing finals.
This one is a bit, you know, so-so.
Still, we have a huge event at stake here.
How about rock, paper, scissors instead of a draw?
Let's do that.
And this time,
-let's see what our employees have got. -What?
Sure, let's do that.
-Agreed! -Agreed.
You have to win.
This is an order. The Korea-Japan match is ours.
Don't worry, sir.
All right.
-Please, God! -Abracadabra…
All right, let's go!
Rock, paper, scissors!
-Yes, you did it! The Korea-Japan match! -Damn it!
MBS will broadcast the Korea-Japan match.
I'm sorry.
That's fine.
It's okay. Wrestling has Sim Kwon-ho, so that's good too.
Yi-jin, let's win it this time. Let's do this!
Yes, sir.
-Let's do this. -I'll throw a rock.
Come on, don't do that.
You're already in the palm of my hand.
He said he will throw a rock,
so that I will throw a paper.
That means he's going to throw scissors.
Then I'm going to throw a rock!
Rock, paper, scissors!
It's over!
-You did a great job! -Thank you, sir.
I'm sorry, sir.
Let's put it up at the center.
-This is great. -Wrestling is good.
We have Sim Kwon-ho.
Well, isn't fencing okay?
It can't be worse than fencing.
Shut it.
-Look at that. -Great.
Fencing is on the rise these days.
-Did you see that? -Hold on.
Fencers Ko Yu-rim and Na Hee-do
have won more than five medals from international games.
But who knows about that?
We showed them.
I will make sure they do.
I'm so glad we have Sim Kwon-ho.
Can I cover fencing?
Your daughter joined the national team a while ago.
The timing of your visit seems
a little off.
I'm here today not as a parent
but to work, so let's talk about that.
We'd like for you to be
our network's commentator for fencing at the Asian Games.
You are the face of fencing.
You're perfect for the job.
And instead of the sports department,
a prime-time main news anchor comes to ask this matter herself?
Does an ill-fated relationship count as a connection to you?
I also wanted to thank you for getting Hee-do on the national team.
That's also why I'm here.
But aren't I a risk?
I was fired for taking bribes from the athletes' parents.
You covered the story yourself.
Don't you remember?
That happened eight years ago.
Everyone has forgotten about it. So should you.
Forget?
I should forget?
Hey!
Seriously?
Are you hearing yourself?
Everyone can say that to me, but not you.
Then what should I have done?
Should a reporter ignore a tip-off? Since we're friends?
I'm the victim here.
You knew that,
yet you went ahead with it.
Then can you say that you're innocent?
No, I'm not.
But what about those freaking parents? Were they innocent?
You didn't believe me.
We met as an athlete and a reporter, but still
I thought we were friends.
I was a reporter before being a friend.
Of course.
I know that very well.
You've already proved that yourself.
Let's not talk about this.
Think about the offer and let me know.
I'll get going.
-Secure our jobs! -Secure our jobs!
We are starving to death!
-Starving to death! -Starving to death!
Give us jobs!
-Give us jobs! -Give us jobs!
Stop restructuring!
The laborers insisted on reducing working hours for job sharing
in order to reduce unemployment from the financial crisis.
In addition, the labor union vowed to launch a general strike
if the government continued to show no signs to engage in discussions.
With UBS news, this is Seo Jung-hyuk reporting.
With UBS news, this is Back Yi-jin reporting.
We are starving to death!
-Starving to death! -Starving to death!
-All right, cut! -That was great.
Let's get a full shot, then go for a meal.
All right.
Reduce working hours!
-Reduce them! -Reduce them!
We are starving to death!
-I'd like to capture that large banner. -That one?
Yes, that one. The entire banner.
Okay.
What do you think?
If we get a full shot…
The entire thing?
Just as it is?
Yes, I want to keep it. And then move down.
We can edit that.
-Starving to death! -Starving to death!
Give us jobs!
-Give us jobs! -Give us jobs!
I'm sorry, Jung-hyuk. I'll get to the TV station by myself.
I'm sorry!
Hey! Where are you going!
-Starving to death! -Starving to death!
Reduce working hours!
-Reduce them! -Reduce them!
We are starving to death!
-Starving to death! -Starving to death!
Give us jobs!
-Give us jobs! -Give us jobs!
Secure our jobs!
-Secure them! -Secure them!
Reduce working hours!
-Reduce them! -Reduce them!
We are starving to death!
FULL HOUSE VOLUME 15
-I'm sorry. -We're starving to death!
-Starving to death! -Starving to death!
Give us jobs!
-Give us jobs! -Give us jobs!
Stop restructuring!
-Stop it! -Stop it!
Back Yi-jin?
Back Yi-jin!
NO TO UNEMPLOYMENT! WE WANT JOB SECURITY!
We are starving to death!

Give us jobs!
-Give us jobs! -Give us jobs!
Stop restructuring!
-Stop it! -Stop it!
You got hurt.
This?
I got it in a fight with Yu-rim.
I thought you two would become close.
I had also hoped for that.
-The pager-- -The pager--
You go first.
Your pager number wasn't in service.
My mom got rid of it without telling me.
She told me to use my cellphone.
So you did try to contact me.
To give you that.
FULL HOUSE VOLUME 15
This is for me?
It's not to my taste yet.
Maybe it will be when I get a little older.
I'm sorry for being late.
Have you already read it?
No.
Now I can read it.
What are you doing here?
To cover a story.
I became a reporter.
Really?
I heard the exam to become a reporter is difficult.
Smart ones are surely different.
Congratulations.
Were you going somewhere?
Well…
Have you eaten?
No, not yet.
Do you want to come and eat with us?
I'm on my way to meet someone,
but if you don't mind joining us.
Okay.
This is my boyfriend.
A boyfriend?
When you've met for the first time after six months?
He is also on the national fencing team.
I know. You are Jung Ho-jin. Nice to meet you.
Do you know me?
Yes. I cover fencing in the sports dept.
Really?
Yi-jin, you sure have strong ties with fencing!
Are you okay? Did you get hurt, Cutie Pie?
Sweetie Pie.
That knife was heavier than I thought.
It slipped off my hands.
Let me do this.
You shouldn't hold a knife with such pretty hands.
Isn't her job to hold a sword?
How long have you two been dating?
Three days.
Three days?
-I see. -Excuse me.
For the record,
I detest typical guys who go by as a contact, a tutor, or a church buddy.
Please draw the line at friendship with my Cutie Pie. Are we clear?
Cutie pie.
-You should do it like this. Look. -Right.
-We usually stab, like this. -Yes.
But here, we have to slice, like this.
Here, you can see.
It's all done.
Cutie Pie, let me quickly use the bathroom.
-Come back soon. -I will.
"Come back soon."
It's been a while, and that's what you do?
You're so full of surprises.
I've never imagined seeing you in a three-day-old relationship.
Are you mocking me?
No. I'm just glad to see you after a long time.
I thought my heart had skipped a beat when I saw your back earlier.
Why?
In case I lose you.
It was so noisy out there…
but all I could hear was your voice.
I've kept praying so that you won't have a hard time.
Maybe my prayer was answered.
It was a little tough.
But soon I got back on my feet.
I could.
I knew you would.
You once delivered newspapers,
and now you're making them.
That's pretty cool!
So I'm not a newspaper reporter. I work at a TV station called UBS.
At UBS?
What is it?
Nothing.
Is your boyfriend treating you well?
What do you like about him?
Well, he said he likes me.
Gosh. Your motto is to date with anyone who likes you?
I'm curious about being in a romantic relationship.
If it really is like in Full House.
Right, you're 19. That's a perfect age to fall in love for the first time.
I feel like you're constantly mocking me.
I'm not mocking you.
Not at all.
All right, Cutie Pie.
You're so annoying.
TAXI
This is my number! Hee-do.
Gosh, I'm at a loss for words.
What is it, sir?
It's nothing. I just had this ridiculous thing happen to me today.
It was something to do pies. Sweetie and Cutie.
I see.
Some kind of lovey-dovey…
Once you're in Gyeongju,
go straight to IBC and collect your AD card,
check on our assigned office,
and find out the locations for venues per sport.
There are countless variables at play during an international event,
so you must stay alert.
-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!
Who has a car?
You two can go to Gyeongju on your own.
-Dong-uk, you can go with Mr. Choi. -Yes, sir.
Yes, understood.
-Hey, don't kick it. - Sorry, sir.
Why did you
bring this kind of a car?
You asked us to borrow one if possible,
so to be of help…
Would you believe in anything that's said by a reporter driving in a car like this?
Well, I think that's a stereotype.
I can see you did go from riches to rags.
Close the top before you hit the road.
It's broken.
I'm going to kill you if you wear sunglasses on top of this.
All right, off you go to Gyeongju!
-Hurry! -Yes. Take care.
WE WELCOME ALL THE ATHLETES
Today is the fourth day of the 1999 Gyeongju Asian Games.
Here, in front of the main stadium,
tourists of various nationalities are having a great time.
Yes, they went to the aquatic center, and I'm on my way to the fencing stadium.
Yes, sir. All right.
There is quite a skill gap between the two as expected.
Na Hee-do surely has made incredible progress over time.
Yu-rim already made it to the finals.
So if Hee-do wins this round,
the nation will watch in comfort while Korea wins a gold medal.
It will be an uneasy moment for the athletes, though.
It would be great to mention that when we broadcast the finals tomorrow.
Sure.
Being teammates
and then enemies at the finals is awkward and fun.
En garde. Pretes?
Allez.
Attention.
Salut.
Great job!
If you could do a little more…
Excuse me, can you two please come here and help me?
-Yes. -Yes.
Please, hurry!
Good job, Hee-do.
It seems we'll have to fight amongst ourselves for the finals.
Who will you coach tomorrow?
What?
Whose side will you be at?
Yu-rim or me?
Neither.
In this case, the coach normally goes to be at the stands.
But I bet your mind is set on one of us.
-Hello. -Best of luck tomorrow.
My dream is about to come true, Yu-rim.
Becoming your rival.
I think I'm almost there.
Are you seeing this?
How far your obsessive fan has come.
You will see it tomorrow too.
Reasons for why I'm me, regardless of how far you've come.
Why you were once my fan
and why your dream can't come true.
I'll teach you, so you can watch and learn.
I'm sorry!
You said you'll teach me tomorrow.
You shouldn't get hurt.
Na Hee-do and Ko Yu-rim advanced to the finals.
It was Japan against Iran in the third-place playoff,
where Armita from Iran won the bronze medal.
Good work. Go to IBC and send your manuscript to the editor.
Yes.
Do you know that we'll do an interview with Yu-rim and Hee-do before the finals?
Yes, I know.
Yes, I'll get prepared.
Yes.
-Excuse me. -Yes?
Tteokgalbi?
The food here tastes horrible.
Sorry?
Which one?
Oh, that.
Podaegi.
-Po. -Dae.
-Gi.
-Yes.
GOOD LUCK TO OUR NATIONAL FENCING TEAM
There's Ko Yu-rim!
What is this?
This is not my sword.
I'm sorry?
This is the one you've used at the semi-finals yesterday.
I brought it straight to here.
No, I have a sword that I use all the time and it's not in here.
None of these are mine.
Excuse me, can you two please come here and help me?
-Yes. -Yes.
Please, hurry.
There must have been a mix-up.
You had left my sword bag to be at somewhere else for a moment.
I did. But something urgent came up.
But I came back and got it.
No. There was a red bag next to mine which belonged to the Japanese fencer.
You've brought that one.
That can't be. This was the only one there.
Then she must have mistakenly taken mine as hers.
What is going on?
Coach, can you get in touch with the fencer I went up against yesterday?
Right now.
What?
Yes, please.
Is that so?
On a tour of Seoul?
The Japan team has completed the schedule and is on the way to Seoul for a tour.
The team is already on the train.
So she is not in Gyeongju? Then where is she now?
If you are not in Gyeongju, whereabouts are you?
She got on the train about 20 minutes ago.
Tell her to get off at the next station and that I'm on my way.
Please hold. Hey, the finals start in three hours.
Where do you think you're going?
Then can you go, Coach?
Or can I ask someone else to go?
Just use what you have now.
That one has been authorized so it should be fine.
Who on earth uses someone else's sword at a competition?
I've been practicing with my sword forever!
Tell them to get off at the next station,
and let me know which station it is.
Give me the earliest ticket to Yeongcheon station.
The train departs in ten minutes.
-Please hurry to the platform. -Thanks.
How have you been?
Coach, I'm not doing this interview.
Wait. Yu-rim!
Yu-rim, I'm sorry.
How many times are you going to do this? Give me a heads-up.
No, let's just put an end to us.
You disappear all of a sudden then reappear like nothing happened.
And you're asking how I've been?
How about you? Have you been well?
Could you?
I am sorry.
But now I'm more confident than I was before. I've tried.
That's why I couldn't be in touch.
Do you two know each other?
Yes, our families have known each other since we were young.
Does Hee-do know that you've become a reporter?
Yes.
It was a coincidence. We ran into each other on the street.
That wench.
She promised to tell me.
So where is Hee-do?
I'm so sorry.
I didn't know there was a mix-up.
What is she saying?
You're a good fencer. You'll win the gold medal.
I'll try my best.
It was a great bout.
NATIONAL TEAM MEMBER NA HEE-DO
Hello?
Yes, coach. I got my swords, and I'm on my way back.
I'll be arriving at 1:05 p.m., so there's enough time.
Hello?
I ran out of battery.
Why is this stopping?
Please note we are experiencing delays
due to a train ahead of us proceeding at a slow speed.
We ask for your understanding.
What is he saying?
Finally, please say a few words to all the Koreans rooting for you.
Yes. Thank you for all your support.
I'll try my best to get good results like I did at the previous games.
Cut. Thank you.
Thank you.
You owe me a proper apology for today.
Thanks for giving me a chance.
Hee-do is on a train that will reach Gyeongju station at 1:05 p.m.
At 1:05 p.m.?
Then I will stop by at IBC and come back here around 1:30 p.m.
Yes.
The crowd is gathering to watch the Korea-Japan soccer match.
The traffic in downtown Gyeongju is heavy.
Many roads are closed off for the smooth running of the games…
Back Yi-jin speaking.
This is Dong-uk. Can you pick Jung-hyuk up from Gyeongju station?
I don't think I can. The fencing finals are happening soon.
Then what should I do?
His train was supposed to arrive at 1:05 p.m., but it is delayed
and I have to get to wrestling by 2 p.m.
Then on your way to wrestling…
Wait. The train to arrive at 1:05 p.m. has been delayed? For how long?
I don't know.
He told me just now that the train hadn't moved for 30 minutes.
Hang up for a minute.
HEE-DO
-The number you have dialed… -Gosh, Hee-do.
The number you have dialed cannot be reached…
Hey, Yi-jin.
You came to pick me up?
The game will start in 50 minutes. Run.
Hey, Yi-jin?
Back Yi-jin?
Hurry up.
Put on your seatbelt.
Hee-do.
My gosh. The train was delayed,
and it was making constant stops.
I was afraid I might forfeit when I've worked so hard for this.
Hee-do.
Hee-do?
Look at me.
We will be at the stadium in 15 minutes.
So you'll warm up for 30 minutes and be at the fencing finals.
All right? You also found your sword. Everything is fine.
Right?
Right.
Good. Now, let's go.
But why are you in Gyeongju?
Did you forget that I'm a reporter?
That's right.
How did you know I was there?
I heard about it when I went to get an interview.
I found out about the train delay by coincidence.
Wait.
We should have gone straight there.
If we take the route you know, you can't make it to the finals.
Please go back. This road is closed for the Asian Games.
I'm Back Yi-jin, a reporter for UBS.
A national fencing team member is in the car,
and the finals will be in 40 minutes.
She can make it to the stadium on time only if you let us use this road.
What?
But we haven't been informed.
Of course not, since this just happened and is an emergency.
Please open the road.
-You can't do that. -We don't have time for this.
If you don't open up the road,
a Korean athlete will lose by default at the finals.
You could be held accountable for that. Is that okay with you?
But who would hold me responsible?
I will, as a reporter.
Please wait.
Sir, we have a situation here.
The situation is, how should I put it…
Sir, a national fencing team member can't get to the venue.
The bout is in 40 minutes. If you don’t open the road now…
we won't be able to win a gold medal.
A national team member? What are you doing? Open the road, now!
What would I be doing now if I hadn't met you?
Today? Or just in general?
Both.
Even if we didn't know each other,
we would still be together like now.
Because we have the same destination.
But how can I get a ride if we don't know each other?
I would have gone to Gyeongju station to pick up Jung-hyuk,
and recognized Na Hee-do, the rising star in fencing.
You've let me down.
-I'm talking to you. -That's Na Hee-do.
Ms. Na Hee-do?
Aren't you supposed to be at the stadium? What happened?
I'm here if you need any help. I can carry this for you.
Please.
That would have been a nice first encounter.
We were destined to meet
at some point in our lives.
Thank you for today.
I wanted to thank you too,
the entire time we were apart.
I mean it.
I know.
Now let me ask you two questions.
Please answer them.
You have the final round ahead. How are you feeling?
Great.
I had an intensive warm-up this morning, so I feel good.
This is your first time in the Asian Games,
where you'll have to meet Ms. Ko Yu-rim at the finals.
What is going to be your strategy?
Well…
My strategy is to not have a strategy.
Nothing changes because Yu-rim is my opponent.
I am going to fence the way I want
as I always have.
I'll show the world that this is Na Hee-do's fencing.
I find it more thrilling to compete on a larger scale.
I like it very much to think that
the whole country will be watching me.
Why? Am I too full of myself?
No. I like it very much.
What's with the police car?
Are we in trouble?
Do you have any idea how important you are right now?
You are being escorted.
No way!
This is so exciting! Totally awesome!
I'm a big shot!
A big shot will now ask you a question.
Today Yu-rim and Hee-do will meet at the finals.
Who are you rooting for?
Let me see.
Ko Yu-rim.
-What? -You have Sweetie Pie rooting for you.
Yu-rim doesn't have one.
I broke up with Sweetie Pie!
What? How long was she in a relationship before breaking up?
Two weeks was long enough.
Why did you even date him?
I'll let you in on a secret.
I wanted to experience a breakup.
What?
All the song lyrics make such a big deal out of a breakup.
I was so curious to know why people were losing their minds over it.
But it wasn't a big deal.
You have to be in love first
for a breakup to be sad, you idiot.
NATIONAL TEAM MEMBER NA HEE-DO
We're almost there, Hee-do.
Thank you.
See you.
Hee-do.
You will do well, right?
I don't know.
But one thing is for sure.
I'm going to win.
Women's fencing finals will soon begin.
Na Hee-do was in good spirits when I met her before the finals.
Rather than planning to defeat Ko Yu-rim,
she had a strong ambition to fence her way
and promised to give her very best in the finals.
Test.
We'll now begin the women's fencing finals
En garde.
Pretes?
Allez.
Today is the day
my dream will come true.
En garde.
Pretes? Allez.
I'm betting my everything on Yu-rim.
Everyone told me to quit fencing.
But I didn't.
Because…
-I still found it so much fun. -Pretes?
Allez.
Touche. Point.
I made a promise to win a gold medal. I could not keep that promise.
