You bastard!
What have you ever done for this country!
Why are you begging like an idiot when you haven't even done anything wrong?
Mom, I can't live like you.
Suffering day in and day out while starving half to death...
I'm sick and tired of it.
If I do this... how much will you pay me for it?
Basketball is a gentleman's sport.
It's not something that belongs in a gambling ring.
You have a lot to say considering that you're a puppet for the Japanese.
Why is it okay for that woman to go in when it's not okay for me?
That woman is the president's daughter.
A woman like that is fairytale come true for guys like us.
I wonder who he is?
Where has he been all my life only to appear now?
Who are you?
I'm Kyungsung University's Kang San.
I really like him.
He's so handsome, and he even made me a ribbon out of grass.
How sweet and gentle is he?
I'll be happy as soon as I marry Shin Young off.
How is the marriage proposal that you've submitted to Pyeongyang Circle?
I'm Min Chi Ho.
Pyeongyang Circle's Min Tae Shin's son, Min Chi Ho.
Min Chi Ho is a bad person.
She lost her father because of Min Chi Ho,
and she lives alone in the beggar's alley.
I heard that you deceived poor people and got them dragged off to forced labor.
The reporter's name is, Choi Shin Young.
What have you been going around doing that
an article like this gets written about you?
Have you ever once given me any consideration since the day we met?
There's a basketball player that I know, and
I was hoping that you could meet with him.
I'm going to succeed.
I'm going to become the best man that this
country has to offer to suit you better.
If it's possible, I want to right all the wrongs.
Everything... that's gone wrong.
How did you get into the University when
you didn't even graduate from high school?
I'm going to tell everyone here the truth.
Keep your mouth shut and don't say a word.
Even though this is just a practice game to us...
this is a tryouts for you.
My future son-in-law, Min Chi Ho, of the professional team...
with my daughter, Choi Shin Young, watching from the sidelines...
he'll be playing to take home the victory.
Have you even thought about how it would
make San feel to hear about the engagement?
If it's possible...
I want to right the wrong.
Everything... that's gone wrong.
But I don't want to do that about our engagement.
San!
Thank you for bringing her home.
Shin Young.
Let's go.
I...
haven't finished what I have to say.
As for what happened to Byeo Ri...
I'm going to do everything within my power to right the wrong.
But I have no intentions of breaking off my engagement to you.
I have...
started developing real feelings for you.
I like you.
What you just said...
I'm going to pretend that I didn't hear you say it.
It wasn't said for you to hear.
This woman...
is in a relationship with me.
I know.
But...
You're not a suitable man for Shin Young, are you?
A man like you staying by Shin Young's side...
is something that I can't allow.
Look here.
Who do you think you are to judge others?
That man...
is the best man that I know.
When it comes to having the wrong judgment of someone...
you're the same in how you judge me.
But at the very least...
I haven't kept anything hidden from you.
I have no intentions...
of using the engagement as an excuse to force you to have feelings for me.
But...
I do ask that you look at me clearly.
I'm going to try my best until that happens...
and then try some more.
I'm sorry.
About the engagement announcement... and for what happened tonight too.
All that happened without my knowledge.
I hope that you don't misunderstand the situation.
Okay.
It's...
been a real long time since we've last seen each other, hasn't it?
Yes.
Have...
you not missed me?
I will...
do even better from now on.
[Hamlet- In 1923, Hamlet was the first of Shakespeare's works to be translated.]
You're back.
Did you have a nice date?
Who do you think you are to judge others?
In my eyes, rather than San, who does manual physical labor
it is you who I think is worse for thinking such awful thoughts like that!
You don't...
even know you've hurt someone even after having caused them pain, do you?
Min Chi Ho is a puppet for the Japanese propaganda!
Bring my dad back to me!
Did something happen?
Open the door.
Chi Ho.
But...
I ask that you try to see me clearly.
I'm going to try my best until that happens...
and then try some more.
We will now start the opening ceremony for the Spring League.
In the 15th year of his Majesty, Emperor's reign
the 12th annual Spring League game will now begin.
I welcome everyone to the Spring League's opening ceremony.
Are you okay?
You're not sick or something, are you?
In Soo.
If something bad were to happen to me...
I want you to go get Byeo Ri for me.
Hey, Min Chi Ho.
You have to hurry and get in there.
Okay?
What's that supposed to mean, Chi Ho?
We will now start the opening ceremony for the Spring League games.
First in the ceremony. Face the national flag.
[As a sign of their allegiance to the Emperor,
they bowed down to the Japanese flag.]
Bow.
All rise.
Second. Face towards His Majesty, the Emperor.
Bow.
You're engaged to Min Chi Ho, who acts as a little puppet for Japan.
Are you... stupid or something?
Hey.
What are you doing?
Hey!
All rise.
What is he doing?
Chi Ho. You have to turn around.
Third.
Recite the Emperor's Loyal Subject mantra.
- We are loyal subjects of the Emperor. - We are loyal subjects of the Emperor.
Why isn't he doing it?
Chi Ho.
We, the loyal subjects will work together as a whole to serve the Empire.
What is this?
If it's possible...
I want to right all the wrongs.
Everything... that's gone wrong.
We, the loyal subjects of the Empire...
Min Chi Ho denied the Emperor's Loyal Subjects mantra!
Min Chi Ho is Joseon's hero!
Min Chi Ho! Min Chi Ho!
Yeah...
Yeah, this is it. This is it.
Hey, what are you doing?
Quiet them down immediately!
What are you doing, you imbecile? Take care of them immediately.
Get rid of them right now!
Chi Ho!
Min Chi Ho!
Are you crazy?
What do you think you're going to do by denying
to pledge your allegiance to the Empire?
It's an oath you've pledged more than a countless times at each game.
You've never had a problem with it before.
What's gotten into you all of a sudden?
No, it has been a problem.
What?
I just wasn't aware of it myself.
My name...
I'm going to take responsibility for it.
I'm not going to allow them to take advantage, and use it anymore.
I haven't finished either.
I have to go get Byeo Ri.
One by one...
I'm going to right all the wrongs.
Get in.
We can talk on the way.
That way! Min Chi Ho ran off in that direction.
My Lady.
What are you doing?
[Umi Yukaba- A military song, which was considered the Japanese anthem.]
Thus concludes the opening ceremony for 12th annual Spring Leagues game.
The second game between
Gyungin Professional and Gyungbyuk Amateur team will soon begin
so I ask everyone in the stands stay in your seats until the game begins.
I'll make the announcement one more time.
Just what in the world is going on? Huh?
What is the police force doing if you can't even handle something like this?
Are you all just here to watch the basketball game?
What are we going to do about this?
The Secretary Commissioner seemed to be very upset by what's happened.
Your daughter and your son-in-law alike... your family really is something else.
All the war bonds that we made in Min Chi Ho's name...
Get rid of them all!
Bong Soon.
How did this happen?
The way he stood up to them, and stormed out of there like that...
It was pretty dashing.
It made him look like a real man.
I ask that you try to see me clearly.
What are you doing?
We need to leave.
We should leave, My Lady. Quickly.
Min Chi Ho refused to recite the Emperor's mantra at the game.
I heard that he even shouted out Joseon's freedom cry.
I heard that he didn't even blink an eye as he was dragged away by the police.
He really is our Min Chi Ho. The hero of Joseon.
Hurry up and get up. The porridge is ready.
If you don't come right now, I'm going to eat all this by myself.
I told you we should make steamed rice.
This meager porridge isn't going to fill us up.
Are you never going to eat again after today?
We have to save it ration it out.
Is it good?
It's good, Byeo Ri. It's really good!
Bae Do Chi.
Kim Gwon.
You weren't able to overcome your laziness
and didn't fulfill your duties as loyal subjects of the Empire.
But the generous Empire is going to give you
a chance to make something of yourselves.
You have been chosen to be labor volunteers
to work towards the Manchurian development.
Take them away.
[Labor volunteer- Organized under false promises of free food and education.]
Lee Hee Gae.
Hong Byeo Ri.
Hong Byeo Ri!
Byeo Ri.
He's calling you.
Hong Byeo Ri.
That's you, isn't it?
How dare you lie to me, you little runt?
Get up right now!
- Come on! - Let go!
I'll be right back.
Byeo Ri!
Seriously! You little rat!
- Get in there right now! - Let go!
Help! Help us!
Let go of me!
Do you even know what you've just done?
You're going to be charged with disrespectful acts
towards the Empire and the Emperor
and you're not even going to be able to play basketball or anything else anymore.
Are you going to be okay with that? Huh?
Say something!
Help me!
Are you okay?
Help me.
Over there.
- Please let me go. - Grab her!
What do you think you're doing?
Why are you using force against this little child?
Is that any way to treat a child who's weaker than you?
Who the hell are you?
I'm...
Min Chi Ho of the professional basketball team.
Min Chi Ho.
The Min Chi Ho?
You seem to be misunderstanding something,
but we're trying to protect this child.
We're going to take her to Joseon camp
and dress her in nicer clothes and feed her good food...
That's a lie.
You just told me that you were going to send us to Manchuria.
Do you think that I'm stupid?
Get your hands off of her!
That's no way to behave if what you're really trying to do is to protect her!
- Why you... - No, you can't!
Min Chi Ho's President Choi Je Gook's future son-in-law.
Oh my... I must have read the name wrong.
Can't any one of you do your job right?
Please excuse us.
Get the truck moving!
Are you hurt anywhere?
You must've been really scared.
Whenever something difficult happens to you...
I won't be able to come help you every single time like this.
Which brings me to say this.
I'd rather that you're not put through any
difficult situations like this at all anymore.
Won't you come with me?
I'll stay with you until you're reunited with your father again.
Why are you begging him like an idiot when you've done nothing wrong?
Kang San!
Stop it.
Don't beg in front of this butthole!
Min Chi Ho, that jerk!
What does it even matter if we've just won our first game?
The only news that's going to be on the paper tomorrow is of what Min Chi Ho did.
There's no use in being any good at playing basketball.
I need to do something that can drive the crowd crazy.
I should've been the one to do it first. Walk out like a man... bam!
Shouting out the freedom cry for the citizens of Korea, bam!
Be cool about it, bam! Bam, bam, bam!
Guys.
Here's what I think.
Don't you think that this is the time for all
the basketball players to show our pride?
What?
Well... since Min Chi Ho already strode out of the court like that already today
I don't think we should be just sit back and do nothing in his wake.
You just want to be in the papers, don't you?
Who do you think you're trying to fool?
Hey, do you think what he did was a joke?
Come on, guys!
A man is about his honor.
You only live your life once, so let's have some style about it. Bam!
You need to know to fear and respect the world.
If you're an athlete, then act like an athlete and work hard.
Why do you keep jabbering on for?
What does it mean to act like an athlete?
What?
What Min Chi Ho did today...
At the very least, he wasn't being cowardly.
That's our Kang San! He knows what he's talking about.
Very cool!
My Lady!
My Lady, you need to take a look at this.
Look at all these women that Min Chi Ho was involved with.
[Shocking! Casanova, Min Chi Ho, seduces a French woman!]
I thought that he was a gentleman, but he's just like any other man.
I guess.
A man who has everything else going for him never sees anything beyond looks.
Are you shocked?
At least you found out about it before you two got married.
- This is a good thing. - Who says I'm getting married?
He has nothing to do with me.
Oh my... how cold you can be.
Okay, fine.
Don't even look twice at a man who has a messy past with other women.
But...
I don't see anything about Min Chi Ho refusing
to recite the oath and storming out of there.
I thought it was going to be all over the newspaper.
You're right.
How can this be?
[Leaves his betrothed behind for another love?
Is it an act of freedom or decadence?]
Have you gotten a hold of Elder Yoon yet?
He says the Advisory Board meeting is running late, so he can't see you today.
That sly old geezer.
Doesn't he know how much money he's gotten from me all these years?
Just where in the world is Min Chi Ho that no one even knows where he is?
When everyone in this city is looking all over for him right now.
I need to divert the people's attention.
Divert.
Yes.
Come on in.
I heard that you were amazing today.
Have a seat.
It's all thanks to the rest of the teammates.
I told you that I'd be keeping my eye on you, didn't I?
You're a natural born star.
And to think Joseon has a star like you.
It's a miracle.
I want to seriously support you to becoming a big star.
Don't think about anything else, and just concentrate on playing basketball.
Instead of doing something foolish like Min Chi Ho did.
Then... whatever it is that you want, I'll help you get it.
You think you can do that?
- Father, you're home. - Yes, I am.
Come sit down with me for a moment.
I heard that you were looking around for another paper for you to work at?
Did you think that I wouldn't find out about it?
- I'm sorry. - You say sorry, but you don't mean it.
If you want to do it that badly...
then you should do it.
You can start coming to work at the office tomorrow.
There's a basketball player named Kang San on my team.
Why don't you try writing a piece on him.
What are you saying?
What he likes to eat, what he likes to wear, and any women that he's dating.
Anything of interest you can find, then write about it.
He's going to become the newest star of our amateur team.
Do what you can to grab the attention of the masses.
You're going to stretch out your neck.
Stop doing that and come look for something that Byeo Ri can wear.
Okay?
Aren't you even worried?
How can you be so calm right now?
Then should I be cowering in the corner?
I have too much pride for that.
Pride, my butt.
Hey, kiddo.
Are you making sure to wash yourself nice and clean?
You want me to scrub your back for you?
Go away!
That tiny thing must consider herself a woman too.
Do you know how many sisters I have helped to raise?
Look at how porcelain your skin looks.
You look like you took off a whole layer of skin.
You weren't able to grow any taller from being loaded down with all that dirt.
This is no way to treat a child!
I'll stay with you until you're reunited with your father again.
Is Min Chi Ho home?
Min Chi Ho!
What is that look on your face for?
You look like you've seen a ghost.
While I'm gone...
he's going to be in charge.
He's a very kind man, and will be a good brother to you
so don't be too big of a brat to him.
I'll be back soon.
Min Cho Ho!
Min Chi Ho!
We know that you're in there!
Min Chi Ho!
We're from the National Security Police Department.
Where are you going?
Don't go. Okay?
Don't go!
Don't worry, okay?
I'll be right back.
Byeo Ri!
No, no! Stop looking so nervous.
You need to be more relaxed. Remember you're the hottest man in Korea.
Stop being so nervous, and look more natural.
Think of yourself as the hottest man in Korea.
Hottest man in Korea. Don't you know?
I thought you were the next Min Chi Ho. Can't you handle it?
Can't you do it like Min Chi Ho?
Again. This time, do it right.
You're seducing these women with your scent.
Okay?
We're going to do it right this time. You're seducing women with your scent.
Okay?
Go.
No! You're still lacking! You're not even close!
He's so far from what Min Chi Ho was.
Why are they telling us to switch from Min Chi Ho when he was perfect for this?
Does the Advisory Board think they can do whatever they want?
Hello, everyone.
Hello, handsome.
Surprised to see me?
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Reporter Choi Shin Young, and I'll be in charge of writing your article.
It's not just my father.
To be shooting a cologne ad already?
You can't be doing that unless you're a top star like Min Chi Ho.
San... you're really amazing.
It's time for Hwang-Go-Yobae! (Pledging allegiance to the Emperor.)
Everyone face the east, where the Emperor, His Majesty is.
Joseon is not the Emperor's Empire!
We're not the citizens of the Imperial Army!
Get him!
Let's all follow Min Chi Ho's lead, and refuse the Hwang-Go-Yobae!
Get them!
Free Korea! Free Korea!
- Freedom! - Get them all!
Breaking news!
[Shocking! Min Chi Ho is arrested!]
Tell me.
Who ordered you to do it?
Tell me who ordered you to do it!
I...
Min Chi Ho!
Stop.
This is their way of disrespecting the Min Family.
To arrest him like that?
They said he refused to recite the Emperor's Loyal Subjects mantra.
This event... isn't going to be a simple matter.
But this still isn't right.
Who do they think is supplying all the people that are sent to Manchuria?
We have to do whatever we can to get him out of there.
He's not just anyone, but he's the only son of the Min Family!
What do you think of this situation, Tae Shin?
I'm sorry.
There's no need for you to apologize.
I know that this isn't your fault.
- We can't... even go see him, can we? - No.
I think he's been charged as a political offender.
Are you... Byeo Ri?
Be respectful and say hello.
She's Brother Chi Ho's mother.
How old are you?
I'm... 14 years old.
You're the same age as my Hye Soo.
How are you going to manage taking care of this little girl all by yourself?
We did our best to raise our own, and look at what happened.
Leave her here with me.
Since she's the same age as Hye Soo...
I made... Chi Ho a promise.
That I'd take good care of her until he returns.
Don't worry.
Don't think about anything else, just concentrate on playing basketball.
Instead of doing something stupid like Min Chi Ho did.
Who told you to sweep!
You dare sweep up Japanese national flower?
You worthless yobo.
Don't you hear what I'm saying!
Pick up all the petals with your hands.
I'm sorry.
You worthless yobo. These flowers are a symbol of Japan!
These flowers are more precious than your own worthless life.
Stop being so lazy and do it right.
Mom...
What you choose to make of this opportunity...
is all up to you.
What do you think?
Are you ready to take on this opportunity?
Breaking news! Breaking news!
He's so handsome.
I heard he goes to Kyungsung University.
- He was amazing at the last game. - Kyungsung University?
He's a really good player.
Kang San... that ungrateful bastard.
Hello!
The team that swept through the court to bring home the victory in the first game
whom the Kyungin Amateur Team will be facing on the court today...
The ruler of Joseon's basketball league, Team Bosung now makes their entrance!
Our Bosung basketball team...
will not be participating... in this game.
Until our lifelong rival...
the professional team is no longer suspended from playing in the games...
and until Min Chi Ho is freed...
our team... also refuses to be... a part of this basketball league.
San, that's it.
That's what we need to do too.
That was so cool.
Is anyone home?
Who is it?
My name is Choi Shin Young.
I just wanted to know if Min Chi Ho has returned home.
Hello.
Yes, hello.
How do you do.
This girl...
Chi Ho...
is being transferred to a prison.
I think... it's going to be some time until he's able to come back home.
When it comes to having the wrong judgment of someone...
aren't you the same in how you've misjudged me?
Get in.
I'll let you take full advantage of me.
I hope...
that there isn't anyone on this team...
who's thinking of doing anything funny like that other team did, right?
Remember to keep this in mind.
We're professional athletes.
Athletes only speaks through their own sport.
- Got that? - Yes.
Do you understand!
Yes!
Don't disregard what the Coach just told you.
Know that the day you get involved in Min Chi Ho's business and follow his lead
that's the day you get kicked off of this team.
Let's start practice.
Start the practice.
Did you hear? Guys, did you hear?
Min Chi Ho is being moved to a prison.
Seriously?
He's done for now.
Guys.
Why don't we go with them?
Go where?
- To the prison. - Why would we go there?
Haven't you heard?
All the basketball players are gathering
together to demand for him to be released.
Are you crazy?
What if we get arrested too?
Don't even speak of that anymore.
Then are you saying that you're not going to go?
San!
Where did he go?
Come on, let's go.
Aren't you... going to interview me today?
Um... San.
Have you heard about the rally they're doing to demand Min Chi Ho's release?
Yes.
Are you going to go?
I will not be attending.
- Supporters of Joseon will all be... - I'm a basketball player.
I don't know anything about politics, and I don't want to know either.
More than anything else...
tomorrow is my game day.
I really hope you come to the game.
I'm sorry.
I don't think... I'll be able to come tomorrow.
Are you going to go see Min Chi Ho?
I'm partly responsible for... why Min Chi Ho acted the way he did.
Because I misjudged him.
I'm... obligated to him to try to see him for who he really is.
How pretty.
How did they think to make a flower lined street like this?
You really have to give the Japanese credit for their artistic vision.
No, you don't have that obligation.
The only obligation you have... is to be on my side.
I'm not going to think of anything else.
Just the fact that I need to become a man who's more suitable for you...
That's all I'm going to think about.
So you of all people...
need to remain on my side.
Breaking news!
The God of basketball court, Kang San, he will be headlining the game today!
Come see the monstrous force on the court that is Kang San at the game today!
Bring this flier, and the admission is free!
Is Kang San not here yet?
Seriously.
I thought you went to the rally.
You made the right decision.
We're different from Hong Ki because we have to worry about making a living.
Have you decided... where you're going to go?
There he is!
He's even better looking than Min Chi Ho!
He doesn't even compare to Min Chi Ho, who's in jail right now.
But Kang San is the best lately.
Stand and face the flag...
and bow.
Face His Majesty, the Emperor.
and bow.
Emperor's Loyal Subjects mantra.
- Emperor's Loyal Subjects mantra. - Emperor's Loyal Subjects mantra.
We are the loyal subjects of the Emperor.
We pledge our everlasting loyalty to the Emperor and his Empire.
Bong Soon.
What is it, My Lady?
I don't think I can stay here.
I just feel... that this isn't right.
I think I need to go to Min Chi Ho.
We pledge to give ourselves as loyal subjects to the Empire and to His Majesty.
We, the loyal subjects...
We pledge to give ourselves as loyal subjects to the Empire and to His Majesty.
Move!
Release Min Chi Ho! Release him!
- Min Chi Ho is Joseon's hero! - He's our hero!
- Release Min Chi Ho!
- Release him!
Release him!
Release Min Chi Ho! Release him!
We, the loyal subjects...
We pledge to give ourselves as loyal subjects to the Empire and to His Majesty.

He's brought home another victory!
I'm Kang San's manager, Gong Yoon Bae.
- Who says! - You've ruined your own life, not me.
I have some responsibility to what's happened to Min Chi Ho.
Is it me that you're dating, or is it Min Chi Ho?
It's that bastard. Kyungsung University's Kang San.
Don't try to push Min Chi Ho on me.
I'm not Min Chi ho.
What do you mean, he's changed his name? He's nothing but a fraud!
Who told you that you can change my name?
My name is Min Chi Ho!
- What do you want? - Kang San sent me.
The Patriotic Unit gave our poor family food to eat, and even money.
- How dare you come here! - Bok Joo.
