(Independent Study)
At some point, our goals have turned from...
passing the exam to escaping this place.
We are not studying to become something.
We study because we're scared we'll end up being nothing.
We don't study to gain something.
We study because we don't want to lose anything.
We don't study to pass the exam.
We study because this is the only thing we know how to do.
I'm sorry but your thoughts are too loud, and it bothers me.
Please be quiet.
I'm sorry, I'm late.
You're here.
Ma'am, what's happening?
My business has been suspended.
- What? - I wasn't profiting much anyway.
I'm going to close it now.
Right, you can take whatever you need.
Think of it as your severance pay.
- Is that true? - What is?
Hey, why are you back so early?
Don't you have work today?
I was fired again.
You are the best at getting fired.
I guess that's a talent too.
You're right. I envy you.
You would need to do something to get fired.
Listen to you.
I really can't be friends with her anymore.
Since things are depressing, do you want to party?
Let's make up. I want to make up with you.
I'm sorry. I was wrong.
Are these all beers? Why did you bring so many...
Beer? Beer doesn't sound bad.
Wow, that hit the spot.
I guess they even make beer cans that are this big.
This tastes awesome.
Thumbs up.
Mr. Thumbs Up, you are banned from saying thumbs up today.
It makes me feel old too.
Anyway, thanks to you, we got to drink beer for once.
So you got these snacks when you got fired from the convenience store...
and these beers when you were fired from the karaoke?
If you don't want it, give it.
Come on. I didn't say I didn't want it.
While we're on the subject, I called this a party,
but these are my blood and sweat.
You should know that.
When did my life become such a mess?
I am very sad.
Are you sad?
Then let's drink to sadness.
Yes, let's just drink tonight.
Thumbs up.
Yes, fine. Thumbs up.
Thumbs up.
- To the right. - Go to the right.
- To the right. - No, to your right.
I see.
1, 2, 3. Look.
- This looks great. - It's great, isn't it?
Didn't you drink a little too much?
I am fine now. I am fine. I am.
I don't know about anything else,
but I applaud your diligence.
What?
Woo Seung failed the exam three times, right?
Are you drunk? Don't bring that up.
I really thought I'd make it this time.
I was confident too.
But it's all because of him.
There will be another exam. You'll make it the next time.
I mean, it's not like I want something so big.
My dream is to live just an average life.
How can no one help me with that?
That's not a dream.
What? What did you say?
I'm right. How can making a living be a dream?
A dream isn't a word you should use for that.
While we are at it, why do you wish to become a civil servant so badly?
It sounds extremely boring and dull.
What do you know about my life?
You're homeless, and your living off of a stranger.
Goodness, this is all because you don't know who I am.
Once you find out who I am, you will be...
You must remember something for once.
For once? Well, I don't remember, but I'm just saying that.
Things will work out.
We may look like we're nothing for now,
but I'm sure we'll be all right.
Hey, what's with the vibe?
Why don't we stop that and play a game?
- Okay, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4. - 1, 2.
- Drama, drama, name a drama. - Drama, drama, name a drama.
(Timer set: 1 minute)
"Descendants of the Sun".
"Pinocchio".
"Signal".
"Tree Blooming with Love".
- What? - What tree?
- What's blooming? - Don't you know?
Something else, then. "Under the Same Roof".
- What roof? - Under where?
"Pilot".
- What? - "Seoul Earthen Pot".
- That sounds good. - I never heard of it.
"Jealousy". You have to know this.
- What are you talking about? - Don't you know "Jealousy"?
- No. - No.
Who on earth are you looking at?
- I am standing - Don't you know?
- No. I don't. - You just...
Right, the last scene is like this. They kiss and the camera spins.
- Don't you know? - I really don't.
Fine, you have to know this one.
"Justice Pao".
- What? - Don't you know?
"Bring out the straw cutter." Don't you know?
I really have no idea.
- Hey, look. - He lost.
- Drink, drink. - Drink, drink.
- You have to drink. Chug, chug. - You have to drink. Chug, chug.
- Wait a minute. - Will you keep making me dance?
Did you three plot against me? You have to know the straw cutter.
Stop making excuses and drink.
- Drink, drink. - Here you are.
- Come on. - You have to know that.
- Chug it down. - No, I won't.
Hey, what are you doing?
Gosh, I was in a trance.
It's been a while since I've seen her play.
I've never heard this before.
Whose song is this?
I think Woo Seung wrote it.
She was in a band in high school.
She was good at writing music too.
A band? Her?
I'm a little scared.
- She might do her drunk act again. - Her drunk act?
A drunk act with an introduction, development, turn, and conclusion.
So don't let her have more alcohol, okay?
I think she's pretty drunk already.
So how does she act drunk with an introduction and everything?
- What's the introduction? - The introduction?
The introduction is when she starts to act cute.
(The introduction, acting cute)
Woo Seung is out of beer.
I need more beer.
I think she's crazy, not cute.
Woo Seung isn't here either.
Ji Hoon, I need more beer.
Goodness, I can't take this anymore.
If you won't give me any beer,
I will take some selfies.
Click.
What is that sound?
- Don't you hear that sound? - What sound?
The sound of Woo Seung's cuteness.
I can kill her now.
What's the development?
The development is when she gets angry with no reason.
Are you honey-butter flavored?
I am death flavored.
(The development, getting angry)
Gosh, look at you.
Spicy squid flavour? Do you even know what spicy squid is like?
Hey.
Why is a squid out here?
Hey, squid. Go back to the ocean.
Go back. Go home.
Nothing works out because of you.
What's the turn?
The turn? It's Jeolla Province.
(The turn is she speaks in Jeolla dialect.)
Let's have one more drink.
Let's have one more.
Just one more drink.
Is she from Jeolla Province?
As far as I know, she's never been anywhere near Jeolla Province.
- What? - You're making me feel so bad.
What are you looking at?
Have you never seen an angry person?
I could pull your tongue out and make a red carpet with it.
Boys, are you going to keep staring?
I should tighten your belt...
and turn you into an hourglass.
What's the conclusion?
The conclusion is that this was bound to happen.
(She ends up falling asleep.)
She sleeps like she owns this wooden bench.
(The narrative of her drunk act.)
Now, we can finally drink in peace.
Get me a can of beer.
Here.
What?
What is this?
It's so cool.
It doesn't even have an electrical cable.
I hate others touching my stuff without my permission.
You're so cheap.
Hello, everyone.
Today, I'm drunk broadcasting.
If you're drinking alone,
let's have a drink together.
Cheers.
What is he doing?
He broadcasts online when no one watches it.
(World Entertainment)
They should clean their place before leaving.
The two of them are both so annoying.
Gosh, annoying.
Hey,
- are you looking for something? - Have you seen my watch?
I think I put it here.
Your watch? No, I haven't.
Maybe you put it somewhere else.
It got broken, so I was going to get it fixed, but it's not here.
Where did it go?
(Convenience Store)
How did it go?
The owner refused as it's personal information,
but I convinced him over.
I bought this ice cream too.
Did...
you only buy one?
Pardon?
- Do you want a bite? - No.
So how did it go?
He said he could only give me...
the name and phone number.
Here.
(Choi Woo Seung)
"Choi Woo Seung"?
- Hey. - What?
Pull the car over there.
Pull it over to the right side.
Hey.
- Me? - Are you Choi Woo Seung?
So what?
"So what"?
Is your sibling's name...
Second Place?
What is he saying?
Never mind if it's not.
I'm giving this back to you instead of throwing it away.
Let's go.
What...
These are my notes.
(World Entertainment)
Are you going for work? The kids are upstairs.
You should've asked them for help.
It didn't take me much time anyway.
They should be helping you.
They knew you were carrying the clothes.
Leave them be.
I'm going to a meeting in Dongdaemun.
All right. Drive safely.
Okay, bye.
Oh, right. Have you seen the peanuts...
I bought?
I'm sure I bought a lot of them,
but couldn't find any.
I haven't.
Maybe Ji Hoon had them.
Ji Hoon can't eat them because of his allergy.
You're right.
Then it must be Mr. Lee.
He's been eating so many nuts these days.
Right, peanuts.
What?
Nothing.
Gosh.
What is this?
These are some leftovers, so eat it if you want.
Look at how you put it.
Why would you say they're leftovers?
- I'll just take it back then. - No.
Thanks.
That's peanut butter.
What? What is?
It's what you can't eat. It's peanut butter.
- I can't eat peanut butter? - That's how I remember.
I'm certain.
But why did you want to know about it?
What?
I have my reasons.
Hello?
Yes, I'm heading there now.
Going to Dongdaemun won't take that long.
All right, bye.
Are you going to Dongdaemun?
If your boss carries clothes and prepares for work,
you should go and help him out.
It's for you.
I thought we were all in this together.
Maybe I was wrong.
Do you think it's okay...
as long as it's comfortable for you?
Hey, people might think...
I'm disciplining you severely or something if they saw this.
Just sit comfortably.
- Okay. - Okay.
Do it already.
Make yourselves comfortable,
but don't cross your legs.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
Is this the military?
Why are you so stiff?
I said to make yourselves comfortable.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
You still need to answer me with a loud and clear voice.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
That's it. It's so nice to see you behave like this.
Let's behave, all right?
Hey.
Ji Hoon.
What brings you here?
You didn't go to the agency today?
I'm on my way back.
You don't work at the karaoke today, right?
Help me out.
- With what? - It's Dad's birthday today.
I need to buy his birthday gift,
but as you know, I'm not good at choosing right items.
Why are you staring at me like that?
What?
No, nothing. Let's go.
I'll finish working in about an hour,
so come to the parking lot in an hour, okay?
What? I don't have a watch with me.
Isn't that a watch that you're wearing on your wrist?
It's broken.
Then ask around.
I'm leaving you behind if you're late.
My gosh, it's awesome.
Goodness.
What about this one? Is it okay?
You have terrible taste.
What about this?
Don't you dare think about buying my birthday gift yourself.
Just give me cash instead.
I'm not thinking of giving you one anyway.
Right, just don't give me one.
I don't think I'll be happy to see it.
Hey.
How about this one?
He wears a lot of casual clothes.
It looks nice.
(Singing Contest, I Am a Singer)
I am a singer.
(First prize: Latest cell phone)
This is awesome.
I think this was a good choice.
I thought they looked weird.
That was an amazing performance. Please give it up again!
That's great. That was amazing.
I'll take one last contestant.
Does anyone want to give it a go?
Anyone? Anybody?
Here!
- What are you doing? - Please come up here and sign up.
- I won't do it. - Yes, you will.
You've been training for three years.
I want to get a new cell phone.
Come on, get me a new phone.
I can't.
- You're buying samgyeopsal then. - Of course, my friend.
Darn it.
Hey, Mr. Thumbs Up. Why are you here?
- What about you guys? - We're here to shop. You?
I bought some clothes.
Only a few though. I didn't have much money.
Why didn't you pay me back with that money?
I will pay you back.
By the way, you shouldn't drink. You're terrible when you're drunk.
Well, I don't do any damage to others.
How can you say that? That's just what you think.
- Don't you have a drinking habit? - A drinking habit?
People told me I give a kiss to just about anyone when I'm drunk.
But that's a cute habit.
Hey.
- What is it? - Was that...
- What's wrong? - Darn it!
- What the... - Stop.
- What's wrong? Are you crazy? - You deserve a beating.
You should be thankful I stopped here.
What was that?
- It's my fault for being pretty. - What are you saying?
By the way, Part-timer.
Since you hit me, I'm going to borrow your name.
I can't use Mr. Thumbs Up.
- Hello. - Hi.
My small hopes and dreams
I hope I won't lose them I pray to the sky
Please give her a big hand.
We'll meet the next contestant.
He's from Jeonnong-dong, Dongdaemun-Gu.
Dongdaemun Prince! Please come up.
Please give him a hand.
- Dongdaemun Prince, good luck! - Please introduce yourself.
Hello, I'm Lee Ji Hoon from Jeonnong-dong.
Okay. Are you a student?
Yes, I'm a student.
Helter-Skelter goes to wherever their fans are.
That's the meaning behind their name.
Will the gig be held on the stage over there?
Gosh. Everyone, look at him. He's as good-looking...
as a celebrity. He's so handsome.
What are you performing today?
- I'll dance. - Dance? Great.
He's Jeonnong-dong Dance Machine.
Dongdaemun Prince will dance for us. Please give him a big hand!
Drop the beat for him!
Goodness. Give it up!
I think we already know who will take the cell phone.
Don't you all agree?
Great job. Please give him another hand.
- Ji Hoon. - We'll greet the next contestant.
- Please come up. - You were good.
- It's all because of you. - Please give him a hand.
Hello. His nickname is...
Poor Mr. Thumbs Up.
I think he went up there to win a cell phone.
Hi, I'm Choi Woo Seung. I'm 23 years old.
Are... Are you really 23 years old?
The way you're dressed... You look like you're 43.
He's dragging my name through the mud.
White pants.
Well, he has a strong character. Great.
He's the final contestant of the day.
He will sing...
All right. He's going to sing "Tell Me".
I don't think I can watch this. I'm embarrassed for him.
Why are you afraid?
Why are you down on the ground?
Tell me what you really want
What is the problem? What are your worries?
Your wishes can never come true
Is that what's bringing you down?
Forget what you said to me
Forget all that you gave up
Don't regret it Just start over again
Tell me the world you dream of
You can do anything you want
Tell me again that it's not too late
Don't try to lie to yourself
Give him a big hand!
That was awesome! You can go down now.
- Goodness. Wasn't he great? - Yes.
Please give it up one more time!
Hey, Mr. Thumbs Up. You were pretty good.
What? Was I awesome?
It wasn't that awesome.
Actually, you do look like Yoo Hyun Jae.
How?
All right. The judges told me they had a hard time evaluating.
The second prize winner received only one point less...
than the first. First place is...
Congratulations! Rooftop Michael Jackson!
Are you happy?
Of course, I am.
Hey, look at this. The display is awesome.
Hey, that was fun. Let's take a picture as a remembrance.
- Ji Hoon, come over here. - I don't want to take one.
Hey, let's take one. Come on.
Come here.
Look. When there are three people, we can do this.
Hey.
I told you not to touch my stuff.
Your stuff? What are you saying?
That's my watch.
What? How is this yours? It's mine.
Give it to me. Let me check.
Goodness.
There.
Gosh.
Take a look. This isn't your watch.
The initials are different.
He's right. The initials aren't yours, Ji Hoon.
Goodness.
Well...
It was left to me by my dad.
What?
Left to you?
Hey, Ji Hoon!
What are you doing here?
It's cold.
Can I wear this?
Why is she sleeping out here?
It's late. Let's clean up and go inside.
What? Already?
Darn it.
- Hey, take it off. - Why?
- This is my favorite shirt. - It hurts.
- Take it off. - Okay.
Fine, I won't wear it.
Gosh!
It stinks.
What? It's your stench.
Gosh.
Do you have any ramyeon?
It'd be nice to have some ramyeon.
My goodness, you're annoying.
I'll go buy it.
Hey.
Wear that. It's chilly.
- It's really chilly. - I'll be back.
(The Best Hit)
What? Why?
My sister is a huge fan of yours.
Gosh, that Part-timer does all sorts of odd jobs.
Are you really my mom?
Shouldn't you at least ask me...
if I'm doing all right?
I thought you might need this.
Is it just me?
Doesn't Mr. Thumbs Up...
look like Yoo Hyun Jae?
I've never seen this punk before.
I've never seen this punk before either.
- Punk? - You're so rude.
We don't look alike at all.
Let's say Ji Hoon is my son.
Then who's his mom?
You really don't know?
Is it...
Bo Hee?
