EPISODE 14
The next volume. Where is it?
How could she end it here?
Gosh, this is driving me crazy. So what happened next?
Are they going out?
Come on. I want to know what happened.
NA HEE-DO, BACK YI-JIN
UBS ANCHOR BACK YI-JIN HIGHLIGHTS DIPLOMATIC TENSIONS
So they weren't involved in any scandals.
SPECIAL CONNECTION BETWEEN NA HEE-DO AND REPORTER BACK YI-JIN
In 2009?
SPECIAL CONNECTION BETWEEN NA HEE-DO AND REPORTER BACK YI-JIN
Today is July 10th, 2009. Welcome to UBS News.
We have won another gold medal in San Francisco.
Today, the "King of Fencing" Na Hee-do won her third gold medal for Korea.
We will connect live to San Francisco to speak with her.
Ms. Na Hee-do?
It's nice to see you.
Congratulations on winning the gold medal.
Thank you.
Have you been doing well too?
Yes.
I've been well.
Ms. Na was the first athlete I was in charge of covering
when I was a sports reporter.
It brings back old memories to see her again for this occasion.
Starting from Madrid, Prague, and now in San Francisco,
you have won three golds in a row.
Please tell us how you feel.
It is a great honor,
and I would like to thank you all for cheering me on.
Your matches are always the talk of the town.
You gave another impressive performance in San Francisco.
Were there any difficulties in winning the gold medal?
Well, let me see.
All matches are difficult to some extent,
but I've fenced in many challenging matches.
So, to be honest, I found this match the easiest compared to the others.
I see.
Then can you tell us which one was the toughest?
That would be the first time I won gold in Madrid.
By Madrid, are you referring to your match in 2001
when you were in the finals against Ms. Ko Yu-rim?
Yes, that's right.
The final women's fencing match will begin now.
Let me introduce the two fencers who will compete in the finals.
Our first contestant.
She's a newcomer who has quickly advanced to the finals.
This is her first time competing in this tournament.
From Korea, Ms. Na Hee-do.
Let me now introduce our second contestant who will compete against her.
She is still the champion. From Russia, Ms. Julia Ko.
En garde.
Prêtes?
Allez.
FEBRUARY 2000
Yes, I got you! Drink up.
Aren't I good at this?
You should have lifted a thumb.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
It hasn't been long since I turned 20,
but why am I so used to drinking?
That's called having talent.
Congratulations.
This game is more fun with more people. Why aren't they coming?
Hold on.
What do we have here?
Hi, guys.
It just happened.
-Say something. -Right.
-Hee-do is too good for you. -What?
No, Yi-jin is too good for her.
He is truly beautiful.
-What do you mean by that? -Cut it out.
I feel so bad for myself.
What good does it do to me to be here among the couples?
-My gosh. -Stop it right there.
Everyone, raise your glasses.
Let's make a toast.
To what?
To our beginning?
Don't be ridiculous.
To Ji Seung-wan!
-Cheers! -Cheers!
One, two, three!
Four!
Five, six, seven!
Eight, nine, ten!
-Eleven, twelve! -Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen!
-Sixteen, seventeen! -Eighteen, nineteen, twenty!
Wait, where were we?
Gosh.
Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven!
Twenty-eight, twenty-nine.
Thirty.
Drink up!
-Drumroll! -Drumroll!
-Horse number one! -Horse number two!
-Horse number three! -Horse number four!
-Horse number five! -Let's start.
Horse number one!
-Drumroll! -Drumroll!
-Noonchi game's on. One! -Two!
-Three! -Four!
Yes!
-Drumroll! -Drumroll!
Words starting with the "Sh" sound, go!
-Shoes. -Shave.
-Sherbet. -Shelf.
-Ship. -Shop.
-Shark. -Short.
**it.
Did you say that to me?
-I'm older than her. -There are other words left, right?
-This is okay, right? -Yes.
Shoes?
-It's already been said! -Come on.
-Drumroll! -Drumroll!
No pushing!
Guys, stop running. It's dangerous.
Hey!
Let's go for another round!
Let's do that!
Let's go to Yi-jin's place
and the one who gets there last
buys everyone ice cream!
-I'm going first! -Stop!
Let's go!
Hey, Back Yi-jin!
Did you say "Hey, Back Yi-jin"? That's way too casual.
So Hee-do can call you that, but I can't?
Isn't that obvious?
I'll kill you if you make Hee-do cry. Do you understand?
Wait for me!
Hurry up!
Hee-do sure is lucky.
Wait for me.
Let's go together.
It's freezing.
I'm cold.
Guys.
I think I have had enough.
-Hey! -Gosh.
You're not alone in this.
This is tough for me too.
All of us here are in the same boat.
Have a drink.
Let's eat pajeon and makgeolli next time.
-What do you think? -Sounds good.
That's a good idea, but let's also go on a trip.
Like the one we went on in summer.
That's a great idea. I want to go to Jeju Island.
I've never been there before.
For me, I want to go to Jeongdongjin, where they filmed Sandglass.
Sandglass. Jeongdongjin is good.
Seung-wan, what about you?
I…
want to go to college.
I really don't want to study.
Why are you crying all of a sudden?
Don't cry.
-She's drunk. -Don't cry.
-Stop. -She cries when she's drunk.
It's a bummer.
I'm so upset. This is so sad.
HEE-DO'S
Hey.
What is he doing right now?
I guess he knows how to comfort a crying girl.
Yi-jin must have gone around making a lot of girls cry.
Hey!
-Yi-jin. -Calm down, Hee-do.
Hey, you.
Tell me, who was it?
Who was it?
Was it Da-eun? Min-young?
-Did you make Min-young cry? -Please stop.
-Who was it? -Please don't hit me.
Who else is there?
-Did you make a lot of girls cry? -Please, don't.
Give me their names!
-Did you make them cry? -Please let me go home.
-Please stop. -What a mess.
Please, I didn't do anything.
-I don't know! -Let's go home.
-Okay. -Please!
I like going back home
while the others are on their way to work.
-Right? -Agreed.
I hope they all work hard today
while I go home and sleep.
In the evening
-And in the morning -Wait. Whose voice is this?
There wasn't any day
That you and I
Didn't share our worries
-Our worries -Listen.
-Dad. -Yes?
-I have a boyfriend. -He's your dad?
What?
What do you like about him?
Well, he is sweet like you
and he treats me well.
Still…
no one can love you more than I do.
Yu-rim, you know that I'm the record holder on this, right?
Of course! Your record will stay unbroken forever.
No one can break it.
Absolutely. You can't find anyone like your dad.
That's what I'm talking about!
I'll break that record.
Good luck.
-Oh my! -This is a major accident!
-Sir, do you have a cell phone? -A phone?
-Are you okay? -Call 911.
Is this 911? I'm reporting an accident.
-A car accident. -My goodness.
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY
Where is the patient that just came in from a car accident?
He's in the operating room.
OPERATING ROOM
Dad.
Are you the one who hit my son with your car?
-I'm sorry. -What are you going to do?
What are you going to do about my son?
I am so sorry.
You had better take responsibility for what you've done!
How could you do this!
You should die!
Let my son live and you should die.
What will you do?
Please, save his life.
-I'm sorry! -What are you going to do!
I'm sorry!
-I'm so sorry. -How could this happen!
Yu-rim, let's go.
Let's go. Come here.
What should we do?
How could this happen to us?
This issue won't solve itself from drinking every day.
Then what should I do?
No one is willing to lend me money,
and I can't take out any more loans.
What else can I do?
Let's sell our shop.
We should be able to get a premium since it's in front of the school.
And if we put that together with the deposit for this house--
What do you think we can do with that?
Would that barely cover the victim's medical bills?
We should do what we can
at all costs!
They say you could go to jail if we can't settle on an agreement.
Honey.
Our daughter is on the national team.
Are you going to tarnish our girl's name?
Do you think…
I want to do this?
Do you think…
this is what I want to do?
Hi, Yu-rim. Are you here to pack, too?
Did you hear that I will be the coach for the national team?
So I'll see you when you're at Taereung NTC.
It's good news, isn't it? I hope you're not sick of me.
Coach Yang.
What is it?
Do you want to talk?
I need money.
And I need a lot.
So I won't be able to sign the contract with the team you've introduced me to.
I'm sorry.
TAEREUNG NATIONAL TRAINING CENTER
Aren't you getting on?
Hey!
Is this a surprise?
Where have you been?
I kept my promise.
What promise?
About diving.
I promised I will never go diving again.
Just promise me one thing.
Diving. Don't ever do that again.
It's too dangerous.
What's wrong, Yu-rim?
Hello sir, how are you?
Now that Ko Yu-rim will join our team,
reporters are particularly interested in us.
Please.
Congratulations.
Are the Manager and the Coach inside?
Yes, they're in the office.
All right. Are you going out for a meal?
-Yes. -I see.
-Please cover our story nicely. -I will. Take care.
-Hello. -Hello.
That's total nonsense. Where did you hear that from?
I just met the head of the agency.
Yu-rim is looking into going to Russia.
Russia? That's completely ridiculous.
Why on earth would she do that? What for?
She won countless gold medals for Korea.
Why would she change her nationality?
I don't know. I'm trying to find out why--
She was going to finalize her contract next week. How could she?
-Have you tried calling her? -She's not answering.
What are you saying?
Well…
Is Ko Yu-rim
going to change her nationality?
The other driver got severely injured.
He won't be able to recover fully.
We need money for the settlement.
Once you join a professional sports team and start earning money--
That salary is hardly enough.
It was my first time seeing my parents fight like that.
It can't get any worse than this.
For me, seeing my parents suffer is the worst that can happen.
I know, Yu-rim.
But can't there be another way?
If you change your nationality,
people will speak ill of you.
I know because I've been there. Why would you have to go through that?
I don't care what the others say.
I've never fenced for them anyways.
For me,
fencing is just a means.
It's a means to protect my family.
Ma'am!
Yu-rim! Is anybody home?
ELEPHANT SNACKS
Yu-rim!
The person you have called…
How is he doing?
You're asking how he is?
How can you even ask that?
Why does it have to be my son lying in bed like that?
You should have been the one to get injured!
-I'm truly sorry. -I'm sorry.
This is like a bolt from the blue.
Gosh. I'm in utter shock.
It must be a lot of work looking after him.
My wife made a few dishes
so that you can eat during meal times.
And if you could please wait for the settlement--
Do you think a few pennies from the settlement will do?
I'm going to put you behind bars.
You're going to pay the price for doing that to my son!
Hello?
Yes, how are you?
Excuse me?
What are you saying?
Yu-rim!
ELEPHANT SNACKS
Ko Yu-rim!
ELEPHANT SNACKS
Ji-woong.
I couldn't get in touch with you.
I was getting too many calls so I had my cell turned off.
I heard from Hee-do.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you in person.
Things have been hectic since my dad's accident.
That's okay.
Are you…
really going abroad?
Yes.
I see.
Then does this mean you will go to that country…
and live there?
That must have been a hard decision to make.
You're super cool, Yu-rim.
Thank you.
For saying that you're proud of me and that I've made a great decision
instead of saying that I shouldn't
or being worried about me.
I really wanted to hear those words.
And you said them just now.
Throw a farewell party for me, together with our friends.
Sure.
It's as simple as it sounds.
I want to change my nationality.
I've already done my research through the agency.
Russia made the best offer.
They will give me a house and a car,
not to mention a high salary.
-And if I win a medal-- -Yu-rim.
Mom.
Do you have money to settle?
What about the victim's medical bills, and the cost to repair the car?
What about the money we owe because of the surety?
Has that been taken care of?
Yu-rim.
You shouldn't do this.
How could you break our hearts like this?
Don't give me that.
I asked if you have a way to fix this.
I can fix this.
I have a way to protect my family.
If I go to Russia, I can fix everything.
The debt, settlement, medical bills, and repair costs.
I can take care of that at once.
There's no reason I shouldn't.
Still, no.
You've worked so hard to be where you are.
We don't want to send our child away to repay our debt.
You both sacrificed your entire lives for me.
Now it is simply my turn to make that sacrifice.
I already have all that I want by not losing you from that accident.
Changing my nationality?
I can do it a hundred times with a grateful heart.
I want to put an end to this misery.
So please…
respect my decision.
Please, just this once.
I'm sorry, Yu-rim.
I'm sorry, my girl.
GUIDE TO PERMANENT RESIDENCY
They will provide full support to cover your living costs, translation,
and any other costs on the ground, so you don't have to worry.
Of course, they should. She is one of a kind.
She won the world championship at the age of seventeen.
Even I couldn't do that, you know.
As you can see from the conditions,
it's the best there is.
And this is a list of documents you have to prepare.
-Take a look. -Yes.
All right, then. I will get going.
Thank you.
Hey, I'm relieved that you're getting the best offer.
I knew you would always have the word "best" to describe you.
I wouldn't have known where to start if it wasn't for you.
You've been a great help, and you also came today.
Thank you so much.
Even after I go, I'll remember everything you've taught me
to become a better fencer.
I am so sorry
that this is all the help I can give you as a coach.
I mean it.
As you said, I'm getting the best deal there is.
Please be happy for me.
Right.
That's what I had expected, so I'll take it for granted.
You'll forever be my mentee.
Wherever you are, let me know the instant you come across any difficulties.
You know, I used to be world-famous.
I have connections in every country if it's related to fencing.
Do you understand?
Yes, Coach.
Excuse me, sir. Are you Kim Seung-ho?
Yes. Do I know you?
I'm Back Yi-jin, a reporter from UBS.
I wanted to ask you about Ko Yu-rim.
Gosh, how did you know?
This is strictly confidential for now.
Yi-jin.
ELEPHANT SNACKS
How is your dad doing? Is he all right?
He's fine. You don't need to worry.
-What about you? -Sorry?
Are you all right?
I'm feeling rather more at ease.
The only thing left now is to fix everything.
I can't do this.
I shouldn't have come. I should go.
Reporter Back Yi-jin.
Tell me what you have prepared.
Yi-jin, you have to.
Please come in.
Jung-hyuk.
It's a reporter's job to be thick-skinned,
but drinking two bottles alone at a place like this isn't right.
You look like a man with a story to tell.
A story?
I guess I do have one.
I didn't know that this job would involve so much drama.
I've become a reporter,
not knowing what I'm getting myself into.
Did something happen?
I can do this
because I'm a reporter.
I can do it.
What do you have to do?
I will have to…
stab a dagger in the hearts of people I love…
and hurt them.
I will have to…
disappoint them…
and make them uncomfortable.
But…
I can do it.
I mean it.
We were just going to order in some chicken.
Why would you order in when she's going abroad?
She should have a home-cooked meal.
Is that so?
I feel sorry for her.
I can't imagine what her parents must be going through.
Seung-wan!
Later, when Yu-rim's here,
I want us to laugh and chat like how we always do.
This will be our last memory before her departure.
Let's not make it a sad one.
I get what you're saying.
When you met Yu-rim the other day, what did you talk about?
I couldn't tell her anything
I wanted to tell her.
You have to.
Or you're going to regret it.
I feel they're all selfish things to say.
Sometimes being selfish can be the most considerate thing to do.
It was for me.
I think Yu-rim's here.
Rice brings out your inner-most power.
You have to eat rice to have strength.
Eat up and help yourself to some more.
Yes, I will. I feel stronger already.
Thank you for the meal.
I haven't prepared much.
-Thank you! -Thank you!
-Thank you for the meal! -Enjoy!
This reminds me of the first time we ate here.
When we caught the loaches?
Yes. We didn't get along at all back then.
Right, but we refused to go home because we were fighting.
That's right.
That was really awkward.
Putting what you two had aside, all of us weren't close at all.
But I liked Yu-rim even back then.
-Did anyone ask? -This wasn't for you to hear.
Then don't make me hear it.
Seriously? While we're eating?
Bring it on.
Promise you'll stay close like now even when I'm gone.
I was very happy thanks to all of you.
I thought that the only way to be happy was
to win a medal or earn money.
But neither money nor a medal could give me this kind of happiness.
Thank you for that.
We've also prepared something.
KOREAN-RUSSIAN DICTIONARY FOR BEGINNERS
What is this?
Nothing much.
This is a Russian dictionary and a few simple phrases in Russian,
so that you can at least introduce yourself.
This is my self-introduction?
SIMPLE RUSSIAN PHRASES FOR YU-RIM
Then is this how you guys think of me?
Yes. You should read it out loud. There's pronunciation written in Korean.
My name is Ko Yu-rim.
I'm the best fencer in the world.
I love my family.
I have a lot of friends.
I can be a lot scarier than you think,
so you should watch your mouth.
I wrote that one.
But I'm a loyal person.
I have a boyfriend. His name is Moon Ji-woong.
I can do great
as I always have.
Go for it, Yu-rim!
-You'll do great! -You can do it!
I can do this!
Aren't you on the main news today? Shouldn't you monitor?
I have a story to cover. I'll head out now.
But come on!
-No way! -Seriously.
-What? -I mean it.
But it was so hilarious!
-What are you talking about? -You said you knew how to drive!
Do you remember how scared Ji-woong was
behind the wheel so he kept on sweating?
He was sweating like a pig.
You're right!
I actually knew about it
-but I pretended that I didn't. -What?
-You saw that? -Yes.
I'm never driving again.
Gosh, driving is so scary.
It was really hilarious that day.
Actually, I had never thought
that we would actually be able to lift that car.
I know.
It was a good thing that Yi-jin wasn't around.
He would have parked the car and that would have been the end.
By the way, isn't he joining us?
It would be good if he could come.
Right. I asked him to call me even if he was running late.
But he didn't.
Wouldn't he be on TV though?
Let's have him join us like that.
Good idea.
But he won't be on since there aren't any games.
And now isn't even the time for sports news.
Let's see.
-Does anybody want more drinks? -Me!
Me, too!
This is quite shocking news.
We have found out that fencing gold medalist Ko Yu-rim
has decided to change her nationality to become a Russian citizen.
In that case, she will be representing Russia
instead of Korea in international competitions.
To find out more, here's reporter Back Yi-jin with an exclusive.
After her meteoric rise three years ago,
Ko Yu-rim has won a gold medal for Korea and won our hearts.
But she will now become a Russian citizen.
Since two weeks ago, Ko has been looking into several countries
with the help of a sports agency
and decided on Russia, which made the best offer.
-Russia is known… -We can't confirm anything yet.
-I'll hang up now. -…for providing their athletes…
-We can't reach her at the moment. -…with a handsome salary.
Ko was supported and beloved by the public
as the rising star of Korea's fencing,
but financial reasons seemed to have been the key to why she had made the decision.
Ko Yu-rim, who once represented the future of Korea's fencing,
will now be wearing a Russian flag in her competitions.
It'll be a huge disappointment for the public that has rooted for her.
With UBS news, this is Back Yi-Jin.
He's lost his mind.
Yi-jin!
The person you have called cannot be reached right now.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Did you have to do that?
It's Yu-rim of all people.
I know you have to exploit people's misfortunes,
but did it have to be her?
So I guess that's what I do.
To exploit people's misfortunes.
When I won the gold medal at the Asian Games,
I clearly remember how everyone loved to exploit my misfortune.
You saw what I had to go through because of that.
You witnessed everything.
Then…
couldn't you have not done this to Yu-rim?
What should I have done?
I would have reported it right away if it was someone else, but it was Yu-rim.
Should I have turned a blind eye to it since we are close?
The least you could have done is not to be the first to report it.
Then I should have gone second.
-Would that have been better? -Hey.
Do you think you can keep seeing me?
Who knows?
I might even exploit your misfortune.
I'm afraid that might really happen.
Hee-do.
Are you all right?
I don't think so.
This could be the last time walking home…
holding hands with you.
What are you talking about?
Ji-woong.
I think I can be totally honest with you.
When someone asks how I am,
you are the only one to whom I can say that I'm not fine.
So can I open up to you about how I feel?
Let's not make any promises.
What are you saying?
That we will still like each other,
that we will not break up,
and that nothing will change although we are apart.
I don't want us…
making such promises.
Why not?
I don't know when or if I would ever be able to come back to Korea.
I don't know if I could ever see you again.
I can't promise you anything.
So if you fall for someone, you should go out with that person.
It would be selfish of me to hold on to you
when I can't promise you anything.
I don't want to do that.
That's not being selfish.
What you're doing right now is selfish.
Would the distance between us drift us apart?
Yes, that could happen.
But you're already preparing to go separate ways.
I've been preparing so that we don't drift apart.
I got a part-time job the moment I learned about your news.
"I could visit her three times a year if I save up."
"Maybe four times if I get another job."
That's what I've been thinking.
But what now? You don't want to make promises?
I don't want you to live for me.
I want you to live for yourself.
I already have a lot on my plate
dealing with my family who lives for me.
I got it, so let's go.
You're upset. You should go first.
Don't be ridiculous.
I won't leave you alone under any circumstances.
I don't want you to be in my misery…
Ji-woong.
Back Yi-jin! You have an exclusive!
The other reporters must be in a rush to make up for what you had covered.
Great work.
Thank you.
We should go out and celebrate.
An exclusive doesn't come that often.
-How about tonight? -Tonight?
-Pork belly? -Sounds good.
Speculations that Ko Yu-rim is changing her nationality
for the unprecedented pay package from Russia have proven to be true.
Controversy grows as she refuses to state the reason for her decision.
Feeling betrayed, the public that once supported her
is now denouncing her for her decision.
KO YU-RIM
I'M ON THE KOREAN NATIONAL TEAM!
WE'RE ROOTING FOR YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS
Attaque. Touche.
Please join us.
Please train with us!
What's with you?
The fencing team is united!
That was great!
See, you can do it if you try!
Good luck!
I like it. Let's try that again. One, two, three.
-Good luck! -Good luck!
She's here!
There she is!
Can you come out for a minute?
-Ms. Ko! -Give us a comment.
-Ko Yu-rim! -Ko Yu-rim, can we have a word?
-Ms. Ko Yu-rim! -Over here!
-Ms. Ko! -Ko Yu-rim!
-Ms. Ko Yu-rim! -Ms. Ko Yu-rim!
-Tell us! -Ko Yu-rim!
-Ms. Ko Yu-rim! -Can you please come outside?
-Ms. Ko Yu-rim! -Yu-rim, please!
-Please! -Can you please say a word?
-Ms. Ko! -Ko Yu-rim!
-Please! -Tell us why you made that decision!
-Tell us! -Ms. Ko Yu-rim!
-We will wait here! -Ms. Ko Yu-rim!
TAE YANG HIGH SCHOOL
-Who is that? -Wait, isn't she…
Isn't that Na Hee-do?
-Ms. Na. -Are you here to see Ms. Ko?
-Na Hee-do! -Are you here to see Ko Yu-rim?
-Are you here for Ms. Ko? -Ms. Na Hee-do!
-Please tell us! -Take a picture!
Yu-rim. It's me, Hee-do.
-Why are you here? -Are you here to talk to her?
-Ms. Na! -Can we have an interview?
-Just a minute! -Ms. Na Hee-do!
-Can I go first?
Everything will be fine.
You're going to be fine, Yu-rim.
All the reporters came out of nowhere and started tapping on the windows.
It scared me.
I think they swarmed in here because the snack shop was closed.
It's not like you've won a medal, for god's sake.
They are much more enthusiastic when it comes to bad news.
When do you think they'll leave?
They'll probably wait until you come out.
So do I have to just stay here then?
No, we can't do that.
We'll get out of here no matter what.
-But how? -We'll have to find a way.
If we could only distract them to look somewhere else for a second…
What are you going to do with that?
Fencing is a game of wits, right?
We've been playing that game all our lives.
We're going to win.
Hold these.
Hey!
Maybe we've read too many comic books.
Is there anything like a wig?
Wait, the theater club performs here. There should be wigs here.
Bring it here!
There we go.
We should tie the hair.
Yes, let's do that.
It's done!
-Let's put this on. -Yes.
All done! It looks real.
This is perfect.
-We need a barricade. -Three!
Let's place the balance beams here and chairs there.
The reporters are wandering around the gym looking for you.
I'll go out that entrance to draw attention.
In the meantime, you should escape through that door.
-What about you? -I'll be right behind you.
Ms. Na what did you talk about?
Is Ms. Ko coming out?
She can't stay locked up in here forever,
and it's rude to keep you all waiting.
So I've persuaded Ms. Ko Yu-rim.
Really?
She will have a press conference.
Hey, come over here! There will be a press conference!
Get the microphone!
Are you all here?
I'll open the door, so enter slowly.
Yes.
Hurry up!
-Ms. Ko Yu-rim! -Ms. Ko Yu-rim!
Can you look here?
-Are we starting now? -Can we ask her questions?
Ms. Ko, are you ready for the press conference?
Ms. Ko Yu-rim?
Is that Ko Yu-rim? Isn't that someone else?
Is that even a person?
-Ms. Ko! -Can you please look this way?
-Here! -Ms. Ko Yu-rim!
-Ms. Ko? -Can you please turn around?
Darn it! It's just a mannequin!
TAE YANG HIGH SCHOOL
-Ko Yu-rim! -Ko Yu-rim!
-Wait! -Ms. Ko Yu-rim!
-Please wait! -Ms. Ko!
-Please stop! -Please, Ms. Ko!
-Ms. Ko! -Ms. Ko Yu-rim!
-Ms. Ko! -Can you please stop?
Ms. Ko Yu-rim!
-Ms. Ko Yu-rim! -Where are you going?
-Please stop running away! -Ms. Na Hee-do!
-Go after them! -Ms. Ko Yu-rim!
-Ms. Ko! -Run!
This way!
MIMI SUPERMARKET
They're gone.
Gosh, I was so nervous!
I told you we would beat them.
I didn't think that this would work.
If you always have to give it a go.
You can find the answer once you do.
Goodness. You saved me.
Hey.
-Do you want to take a picture? -Yes!
Let's take a picture.
One, two, three!
Are we done? What's next?
-Let's do this. -Okay.
But then my face won't show!
-This one looks nice. -This looks funny.
-What? -I want this one.
-This one! -Wait.
-And this one. -Jeez.
-This one too. -Look at you.
Only you look pretty in those pictures!
You look pretty whatever you do.
Why is hearing this annoying me?
-Done! -Yu-rim.
I'm starving.
How about jjajangmyeon?
Look, there's your signature!
Have you been here before?
Yes, once. They have good jjajangmyeon.
Here you go. What would you like to have?
Can we get two jjajangmyeon, please?
That will be 6,000 won to pay in advance.
I'm buying. You've done so much for me today.
Yes, you should.
Here.
Isn't that Ko Yu-rim?
You're right.
Gosh, why is she here?
-What is that traitor doing here? -I know, right?
-Should we go somewhere else? -No, let's just stay and eat.
I'm glad we took the picture.
I know. We should have done it sooner.
-Give me your cell phone. -What?
I'll do the same.
It's a good thing we got to do this before I fly out.
When are you flying out?
I'm leaving tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Mom rescheduled the flight after seeing me on the news.
I guess she knew this would happen.
This is so sudden.
It was hard for me since I felt like I was in a long goodbye
so I think it's for the best.
Can I come to the airport?
Weren't you going to come?
Here is your order.
Excuse me, sir.
What is this? We've ordered two.
I serve food only for Korean customers.
I don't serve foreigners.
-What are you-- -I want jjajangmyeon.
Can't you hear me?
I'm not selling food to a traitor who betrayed her country for money.
Did I sell our country?
So has our country been sold?
You've changed your nationality for money. That's the same as selling the country.
It's not the same.
If there's anything I did sell,
I sold myself for money.
Money is important to me.
Just like how you earn money selling jjajangmyeon,
I'm earning money by selling my abilities.
I have to earn money to make a living.
Having money…
will put our family out of misery.
Just because I changed my nationality, our country didn't get sold.
And it did not cause your business any trouble.
Give me my jjajangmyeon.
I'm not a traitor, but a customer.
Here, have some hot chocolate.
Stay here and go when it's late.
Reporters might still be in front of your house.
Thank you.
What happened earlier must have startled you.
That's just ridiculous.
How could he do that to your face?
I think the old me
would have walked out without eating.
Yes, I also thought you would do that.
This is all you. You've taught me not to hold back and fight.
Not to just take it when I've been wronged.
And also that you could gain things by fighting and protesting.
I'll be okay on my own now, right?
Who am I going to talk to about fencing now?
Who would I talk to when I have a lot on my mind?
How will I stand being at the NTC…
without you?
To be honest, I don't want to go, Hee-do.
I want to stay in Korea
and be a Korean athlete.
I want to continue to be on the national team with you.
Don't worry about me, Mom.
You know that I can take care of myself.
I know, Yu-rim.
I'm not worried.
Dad.
I hope your arm heals soon.
I'm going to call and check on you every day.
I'm sorry, Yu-rim.
I told you not to apologize.
If you say that one more time, I won't ever visit.
You also take care of yourself.
You're up next.
Don't come back too late.
We'll miss you.
I'll be back to see if you have an SNU student ID.
Sure, that's not hard at all.
Just as I expected.
And stop crying after drinking.
All right.
I'll try to change that too. So come back to check on that as well.
Now it's your turn.
No crying today.
Same here.
Gosh!
You…
You better get ready for Madrid next year.
See you at the finals.
Yes, it has to be at the finals.
I'm going to win the gold medal.
What? You can't hold a candle to me.
I'm going to work really hard, so you better watch out. Got it?
What do you think I'll be doing?
Every moment that we spent together…
made me happy.
Let's continue to be happy.
Goodness.
Seriously.
All right. I should go now.
Take care.
I'm going.
-Take care. -Call us when you land.
Yu-rim!
The gold medal is mine!
Don't cry because I'm not around.
-I won't. -Can you wipe the tear off your face then?
Bye!
-Excuse me. -Yes.
We would like two hot coffees…
-And a piece of strawberry cake. -Sure.
Thank you. Please come again.
I don't want you to be in my misery…
Ji-woong.
Why aren't you coming? Don't you know Yu-rim's leaving today?
Today?
Why?
GIMPO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Where do you go for departures?
Please go up one floor.
Ko Yu-rim!
You're so mean.
How could you think of leaving without a word?
I'm going to be selfish too, so listen up.
I will wait for you, come to visit you,
and I'll endure no matter what.
I won't go out with anyone else. I'm not even going to look at anyone.
So you shouldn't see anyone else either.
Don't even make eye contact.
-Ji-woong, I-- -Even if
all you can give me is misery,
I'm up for it.
I'm fine as long as we're in it together.
The Russian phrases we gave you.
Have you memorized them?
I have a boyfriend.
His name is Moon Ji-woong.
"Ko Yu-rim to become a Russian citizen."
"Yesterday's hero is now our enemy."
I wonder how much money she received.
For how much would you change your nationality?
At this point, I think I can if someone offers just 100,000 won.
We have with us here another traitor.
Thank you.
KO YU-RIM IS A TRAITOR
A lot of things have happened.
You have overcome all the obstacles
and won another gold medal in San Francisco
to give hope to many people.
We are very grateful for your achievement.
Ever since the beginning,
I give you my unwavering support to root for you, Ms. Na Hee-do.
Same here.
Wherever I am,
I will give you my unwavering support, Mr. Back.
Wherever you are,
I'll make sure my support reaches you.
I'll take care of everything.
See you then.
Thank you.
And I know it's a little late, but congratulations on your wedding.
Thank you.
Next on the news.
I don't want to be an embarrassment to Hee-do.
I'm going to share everything that's yours.
Everything, including your sadness and happiness.
I wanted to call you, but I couldn't.
Why are you all here again?
No other fencer…
knows Yu-rim better than you do.
Don't go hiding because you're having a hard time.
Make sure to save some for me.
So we should
love each other with no regrets.
