HANSAE KUMDO CLUB
Ms. Choi, do you know why this line is so long?
Girl! Who the heck's Ms. Choi? That's twice you call me that already.
Ah! Just wanna see if you're listening to me.
They're all in line to get tickets to the Kumdo Club match starting soon.
I heard some girls talking about it in the restroom earlier.
They were saying it's sold out. The line must be for no-shows.
I didn't know kumdo was so popular.
Since the star player joined the team, they leave soccer and hockey in the dust.
THE 13TH HANSAE-KOSAN KUMDO FRIENDLY MATCH
You have tickets? Why didn't you say so?
I'm clueless when it comes to sports, but these are like gold.
What do you think? Should we go check it out?
I know we need to.
I'm sure of it.
Let's run! Ah!
There he is!
13TH KUMDO FRIENDLY HANSAE VS KOSAN
Who's that?
Get lost! I told you you couldn't stand here.
-That's not fair! -No one can see.
-You think that's fair? -Come on.
-Sit down. -I just need to…
Does a friendly match not apply to spectators?
Fangirl drama.
Kumdo friendly matches will begin in a moment.
Hansae University! Hansae University!
EUN-HO, WE LOVE YOU GO GET 'EM!
Go Hansae! Go Hansae!
Begin!
Oh!
-Way to go! -Oppa!
With that, Seo Eun-ho of Hansae University wins the match.
Coming up next, we have Park Myeong-seong of the Hansae University Kumdo Club
versus An Hong-mo of Kosan University.
The match will begin in a few moments.
-He's so cool. -And so hot.
Ms. Seo Mi-rae,
congratulations, you just met your second date!
I knew it.
You're the guy.
EP03 - FIRST LOVE 101
HANSAE KUMDO CLUB
-Are you joining because of Eun-ho? -Oh, no.
It's okay. We only did because of him.
Don't you think he's almost as sexy with his mask on?
Yes!
Heads up. You'll have to get past us first.
Ah.
Does everybody have a crush on this guy? I'm confused.
He has that effect on girls. Dreamiest guy on campus.
We're hoping he gets his masters, PhD, post-doc, professorship and tenure
so he never leaves.
Architecture's finally gonna have a hottie teacher.
He's in Architecture?
He's such a good athlete, I thought Phys Ed, but he's got brains too.
I never even knew where the library was until I followed him there.
Oh my God!
So the most popular guy on campus likes me?
I like the sound of that.
-What's so funny? -Huh?
Oh.
Inside joke.
Why are you joining?
It's my first year, so I'm hoping to make some new friends.
Huh? I guess I got in.
Huh. He's the cutest.
Hello, first-years. Welcome to the club.
-Say hi. -Hi.
Hello. Hi.
-Her? -Eun-ho! You having a staring contest?
She's the girl I kinda met earlier.
I'd love to be that gorgeous and intimidating.
No kidding.
Kumdo is the best sport for training your mind and body.
In our club, we focus on teaching you every aspect of it,
from the basics to battles.
So first, we'll start by showing you the fundamental footwork and stances.
Any volunteers?
Just raise your hand.
Excellent.
On your feet.
Huh?
Oh, uh, uh, sorry. I… I can't. Someone else can go.
-It's all right. You can do it. -Go on!
Sup?
-What's your name, first-year? -Mi-rae. It's Seo Mi-rae.
Who would like to help give the demonstration?
Eun-ho. Looks like it's you.
They probably all came to see you anyway.
Should I get up?
He'll be teaching you your lesson.
Uh-huh.
Nervous?
Just a little.
Have you ever held one of these?
Not at all.
Here.
Hands go like this.
Step forward with your right foot.
Ready? May I?
Yes.
This is the high stance.
Head strike.
And this one is the middle.
The middle stance is your neutral stance.
Wanna try?
Yeah.
Come on.
I'm coming.
-Oh. -Wow!
Nice! Head strike.
This is your first time?
I guess it's beginner's luck.
What the heck? What happened?
I barely passed any of my gym classes.
You think it was beginner's luck? Come. Try that again.
Sure.
Oh.
Ooh!
-Uh. -Wow, that was a blur.
No way she's never done this.
He gave That's a first.
So impressive. You know that's hard to do?
Come on. Eun-ho went super easy on her.
I didn't.
You're a natural.
I'm glad you joined us.
Thanks.
-Head strike! -Here.
God, he's so freaking cool.
I know, right?
-So big and strong. -Middle stance.
And his stare, it makes you melt like chocolate.
Doesn't it?
Everything in balance. High stance!
Head strike!
So good.
You're talking about him?
Huh?
Huh? Oh…
You know you can't learn this unless you get in here.
Jung-pil, Kumdo Club senior.
Uh… I can't.
And who's this?
-Su-ji. -Su-ji?
-Yeah. -Come on, Su-ji.
'Kay.
-The key to kumdo… -[Su-ji[ Yes?
…is smooth movement.
Smooth.
-Smooth! Smooth! -That was so smooth!
-Your turn. -I'll try.
-Right foot. -Head strike!
-That's it. Try… -Ye-rin, I need to head out.
-Okay. -Head strike!
Head strike!
Eun-ho!
-You going to lunch? -In a while. Why?
You think you're up for a lunch date?
With the group?
Just us.
Are you asking me out?
Yes.
I won't tell you I'm not flattered.
-Hmm? -But no, thanks. I don't know you enough.
-What? -See you around.
Hey, come back! Can we talk?
Hey, Seo Eun-ho.
Have you had lunch yet? I'm starving.
-Let's hit the caf. -Mm-hmm.
-I have to compete for your attention? -You think it's unfair?
The boyfriend is supposed to be my boyfriend, isn't he?
Eun-ho is not supposed to be your boyfriend just yet.
Why not?
We put a lot of thought into our 900 candidates.
Some require patience.
I get it.
THE MAN TO KNOW, CHOI SI-WOO
But why was it so easy with Choi Si-woo?
Don't forget these characters have their own scenarios.
I have to admit, I'm surprised. You didn't strike me as the princess type.
I'm not. I just wanna know if Eun-ho and I will end up together?
Each theme is different.
They have varying levels of dating difficulty.
I thought the whole point was to avoid all the hassle of real-life dating.
If it's too demanding, just switch to another theme. Try one of them.
Uh, hold on. I… like Eun-ho.
I think you're better off with a more obvious choice
if it's too much work.
Yeah. He is
work.
Oh my God!
Mm.
The lights.
Ah, another all-nighter.
I'll make you one.
You must be happy about PlanC's great start. Hmm?
Ms. Yun's a real challenge.
That's what I've been told, yeah.
So, I heard you asked to publish on Fridays?
Not at all.
Yeah. Mi-rae said you wouldn't stoop that low.
Are you sure? She hates my guts.
Isn't it mutual?
Hey.
Sir!
Enter!
You wanted to see me, sir?
Ms. Yun just talked my ear off.
She did? About what?
Well, does that woman ever call for any other reason?
I don't want to die from writing webtoons.
If things don't change, I'll have to quit. Can you book a hiatus? Huh?
Did she… …threaten to quit again?
-She wants to quit? -Huh?
-Sort of.
Oh, shoot.
She wants a break?
Two weeks, she said. So she did kinda threaten to quit.
Ugh.
Once she rests up, she'll come back good as new.
-You did good. -Yeah?
Really good. I enjoyed it. You've got a knack for this. Stop trying to avoid it.
Oh, please, sir.
So, while she's on hiatus, you need to look into some new ideas.
So she is on hiatus?
-My bestie on a friggin' weekday! -That smells so good. Get in here.
So you get two weeks while she's off, right?
-You wanna go to Jeju for some beach time? -I wish.
I have my other writers to take care of, so it's not like I'm on vacation.
Ugh! All you producers do
is work like dogs and deal with all the drama.
-I don't know how you do it. -I think I'm gonna cry.
Best in town!
Funny question,
if you could be 20 again and do something you never did,
what would you do?
Hmm…
Sex.
Ugh. I was being serious.
And so was I! Obviously, you're thinking about it, so what's yours?
I would act the opposite of how I did. Be confident and spontaneous.
-"Spontaneous"? -Mm-hmm.
A lot more doing and less worrying about the consequences.
Like if I like a guy… just go for it.
Seize the day! Use my boldest moves on him.
Have you forgotten your twenties?
Course not.
You were bold and fearless and so cool.
-Fearless? -Girl!
Once you decided you wanted Se-june for yourself,
you just put it right out there, and his crush on You-mi was done.
Mm! Buried that one, huh?
That You-mi had it going on back then too.
Not as much as me, but still.
Hmm. You're right.
I was that girl.
-So where the heck did she go? -Ugh!
You were together for too long and got lost, I guess.
Plus, we're old.
Se-june and I,
it was magic when we first got together, you know?
Yeah. I really envied you guys.
You were so in love, it was annoying.
Seo Eun-ho is… a bit of a difficulty spike.
You were bold and fearless and so cool.
Carpe diem, right?
When it comes to temples in classical architecture,
they can be classified by the number of columns at the front and rear facades.
When there are two columns, it's a distyle.
Tetrastyle when there are four, and hexastyle when there are six.
When it comes to the hexastyle…
-Hi, Eun-ho! -Hi.
-Can I sit next to you? -If you want.
-Can you scoot in? -Gimme a second.
Go ahead.
This whole aloof thing is annoying.
We classify the columns of a temple according to their structure.
But still, since I decided to go for it, I'm gonna pull out all of my old moves.
In today's class…
So which page are we on?
Ah…
You're so focused!
Oh!
Such a klutz!
The Doric were first made of wood…
One of the most famous examples…
Mi-rae?
Yeah?
Did you have too much coffee?
Not at all.
Good.
'Cause I'm trying to listen.
Hmm.
This might be on the exam.
And when there are eight columns, we refer to them as octastyle. Now…
Kumdo! That's where you're going, right?
-After I study. -Uh…
That's a good idea. That's where I'm going.
-I didn't tell you where I was going. -Uh…
I guess I'll meet you at the gym, then.
You wanna give it a try?
What's happening?
He pulled me in so close. That must mean something.
Don't hold back on me.
Not like you did last time.
I want the challenge.
Oh boy.
Put it on.
I think his pride took a bit of a beating last time.
-Mi-rae. How are you? -Oh, hi.
Good, how are you?
What's up?
Did you have a training session?
Sort of. Uh…
We had a rematch.
It was my suggestion.
And? You look like you went at it hard.
MI-RAE, EUN-HO
When they said I would be queen of the campus,
I didn't think I'd be ruling with a sword!
Don't tell me.
She got you again?
Wow! Looks like she wiped the floor with you.
-Did you? -Mm-hmm.
I need a shower.
Hmm.
Shit.
Umchichi, umchichi, umchichi, umchichi!
-Bunny, bunny, bunny, bunny! -Carrot!
Ah, it's been so long since I felt this carefree.
-Just having fun with my friends! -Bunny, bunny, bunny, carrot!
-Bunny, bunny, bunny, carrot, carrot! -Bunny, bunny, bunny, bunny!
-Bunny, bunny! Bunny, bunny, bunny, bunny! -Bunny, bunny!
You totally missed that one! Drink it up!
Drink it up!
I will
be his black rose.
Ooh!
Hey, we need a penalty drink in here. There's not enough!
Give it.
I'll make her drink.
-Ah! All right, mix it up! -Oh, Mi-rae.
Whoo!
One bottle!
Whoo-ooh-ooh!
-Holy cow. -Now soju?
Two bottles?
There, black rose special.
Mi-rae, where…
Oh.
…did you learn to mix drinks like that?
Okay. Maybe I got a little too carried away.
On the Internet.
-Oh, Eun-ho! -He's not at the library?
-Oh, sit, sit. -Hi!
-Sit here. -You made it!
You're missing all the fun.
-I had a deadline. -Have a drink.
Almost done, Su-ji. Chug it!
I think that's enough.
It's fine. I can drink twice my body weight.
-Thanks. -Cheers.
-I can do this! -Ugh. I knew I didn't like her.
Being all flirty with the guy I have my eye on.
She kinda reminds me of You-mi.
You have a leaf in your hair.
I said I would drink it. Ha!
-I volunteered so you didn't have to. -Got it.
I know your stomach can't handle it, bunny cake!
Your kumdo skills… Did you grow up around martial arts?
Ah!
No, just the arts.
Mmm. You're majoring in arts, right?
So you're a girl of many talents, aren't you? A natural.
Aw, you're too kind.
Mm.
You shouldn't bother with the false modesty.
Don't be rude.
Humility is a great quality.
Eun-ho's right though.
It's either because you're insecure, or you think you're better than us.
Ya snob.
-Tell me… -What?
I was talking to Eun-ho.
What'd I do to you?
-Oh. -Huh?
Huh.
You didn't do anything.
It wasn't meant as an insult.
Glad to hear it.
-Mi-rae, wait. You're not-- -What's wrong?
Because I would like to be more than friends.
What?!
Wow.
Just go and pour it.
You think you can just cut in front like that?
Huh?
We don't know anything about each other.
What?
I wouldn't call us friends yet.
I don't think I could do that, even if I wasn't a first-year.
I think you have a little seaweed stuck.
-That's so embarrassing. -It's cute. Like a little goatee.
Okay, cheers to false modesty!
-Cheers, cheers, cheers. -Unbelievable.
Seriously, what the heck?
Good night, good night, good night.
-Wanna share this one? -That'd be great.
-I'll get the door for you. -Oh.
-Here. -So chivalrous.
Now get in close to me.
-Where are you headed? -To the dorm rooms.
Right. Frosh housing.
Mm. Are you heading over to study?
Mm-hmm. I have a little research to do for a paper.
Mm.
Why don't you walk next to me till we get there?
Kinda feels like you're trying to sneak up and steal my wallet.
-Question. -Shoot.
-Are you and Ye-rin more than friends? -What?
I think I came at you too strong.
So, what's your favorite food?
And color? You have brothers and sisters?
Are you drunk?
You said I barely know you.
So I thought I should change that.
Hmm.
Come on.
Let's run.
One day, you told me
"I love you, baby"
"When the power's off Will you still be mine?"
I'm saving our loving To my memory file…
Huh?
I can't feel on my skin
I guess you'd be soft and warm
And loving you though Still feels better
Even though you're a fiction
We are dancing slow
Those reflection glows So real tonight
I need one more chance…
Ah!
You're not going to the library, are you? You're soaking wet.
I keep a change of clothes in here.
Then you'll be carrying all the wet ones.
LAUNDRY ROOM
Isn't that convenient?
I don't mind. I'm used to it.
-You good from here? -I have an idea!
If you aren't in a hurry?
I need one more chance
Your voice drips like Warm honey over my heart
Does feel good to get into dry clothes.
It's gonna take a little while, I think.
It's all right.
You should go get into dry clothes too.
I should.
But I'd rather stay here with you, and be cold.
I've never met a girl like you.
You're not afraid to just go for it.
I didn't see this coming.
That's for you.
Eat up. It's so good.
Ooh.
You're a bold one. Do you always just go for it?
That's bold?
I'm getting vibes.
Hmm.
Why is this jerk invading my thoughts all of a sudden?
Oh boy.
I've been wanting to tell you
you do a mean hair toss.
You don't have to worry about Ye-rin.
I'll go get some reading done till my clothes are dry. Night.
I can study with you.
Wouldn't want you to catch a cold.
Bastard.
Why's he back?
KIM SE-JUNE
General You-mi only lets me post photos she approves.
But I'll let it slide since she's so cute.
Hashtag, soon to be taken.
You posted a photo of us?
Oh my God. Why'd you use this one?
-It's cute. -No.
You're pretty cute here.
But I look awful. This angle is murder.
You said I should post it. Now, of course, you don't like it.
Why are you acting like that?
I just said I wish you would post more stuff of us once in a while.
Okay. I blew it. I can take it down.
Leave it. You look good.
BLOCK
I don't need to show off on socials.
My life's amazing, okay?
Then again,
there's no rule saying I have to tick all the boxes in the real world.
I'm buying lunch today.
Nice move, Eun-ho.
I heard the architecture program is intense.
Jung-pil says your blood turns to coffee halfway through from all the all-nighters.
And it's a five-year program!
But I don't think I've ever seen you drink coffee.
How do you survive?
Ah, you're one of those people who swears by tea?
I actually swear by flat whites.
Well then, let's go get coffee after this.
You like lattes?
All done.
-You like it? -You did great.
As I made new memories, my old ones flew out the window.
And so did my beauty sleep.
Boyfriend on Demand had me totally hooked.
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
Eun-ho.
How did it go?
The exam?
I'm sure I failed.
I couldn't focus.
-Kumdo club rocks! -Mm..
-I need to get a math tutor -I'll help you.
I'm thinking kumdo was inspired by these things.
Chopsticks? Kumdo means, way of the sword.
I'm with Su-ji on this one. Chopsticks are lethal.
-You can stab all the vital areas. -Can you imagine doing that?
Whoever invented chopsticks was a genius.
I know, right? You can even use them in your hair.
Why?
What are you doing out here by yourself?
Can I tell you something personal?
Of course.
I wish you didn't see me…
as just a friend.
Because a friend who's a big-time author told me that my writing was awful.
Like that, "Awful." Pow!
And Naemo was born, which is why you all have jobs,
and I'm not a worthless author, and I can pay for all your drinks.
-We are forever grateful. -What's with the voice?
-We owe your friend. -You drunk already?
Oh? It's raining. They got that forecast wrong!
We're not used to seeing you at company dinners.
I came because my stove isn't working these days.
Oh, right.
-Are you going home already? -Yes.
-No! -You're going back to work?
-Why'd you sneak out? -Rude.
This weasel thinks those are my only two options?
I snuck out 'cause I have a date thing.
Oh, good for you.
-He's picking you up, right? -Yeah, sure.
Then have a good time.
I'm such an idiot. A date thing?
I need tea.
What now?
VISUAL DESIGN CLASS GROUP CHAT NA YOU-MI
We're so excited to share the big day with family and friends.
You're cordially invited to Se-june and You-mi's wedding.
MOBILE WEDDING INVITATION
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23RD 2025, KIM SE-JUNE, NA YOU-MI
Oh my God, you two look great together.
Congrats, You-mi and Se-june.
You-mi, you look amazing.
You'd better treat her like a queen, Se-june.
This is so not cool.
She knew you were on this group chat.
Yes, hello?
It's me. Did you see it on caller ID?
No, Se-june.
You still recognize my voice.
Why are you calling?
I feel bad.
About the post.
I assume you saw what You-mi posted on that group chat earlier?
About the wedding?
Mm-hmm. You two look good together.
I'm sorry.
For what?
That you had to see that.
Why?
It's nice that you guys are excited about your wedding.
Thanks. It's such a big step, you know.
I'm sure.
I'll let you go. You take care.
You too.
Ms. Seo Mi-rae,
your Boyfriend on Demand subscription expires in four hours.
Your timing really stinks.
I'm so sorry But I love you, it's all a lie
I had no idea I get it, I need you
I'm so sorry But I love those piercing words
Though I may let you go In the heat of the moment
I'm so sorry, but I love you
Together now!
I had no idea I need you
I'm so sorry, but I love you
Come on.
Wait.
You can't just leave mid-conversation like that.
If I'm hearing things I think are ridiculous, I can.
-Let go. -I can't.
You'll run away if I let you go now.
And blame yourself if it ends like this, pretending it's not going to.
You don't get to decide how I handle things.
I said let go!
Why…
…would you want to drag this out when you made it obvious it's over?
You wanna quit?
Then quit already.
We both know it's over between us.
This isn't working anymore.
I just said it first.
How can we not work?
I'm still the same girl.
Mi-rae.
You really believe that?
We've both changed a lot.
I believe some love stories can last forever
when you can embrace each other's changes.
And it brings you closer in the long run.
But lately…
…I realize that's not what's in the cards for us.
Yeah, totally.
Yeah, I'm sure they have someone under the green screen thing.
You wanna talk?
I'm sure you have something on your mind.
You don't have to talk. I'm here if you need me though.
You know something?
Ever since Se-june and I broke up,
I never thought about how it was when we first started dating. Not once.
Here's to us!
That game was amazing.
-Se-june! Yes! -Mi-rae!
NAEMO SEO MI-RAE
How do I look?
I got you a little present.
I love it!
Hey, gorgeous.
All I remembered were the bad times.
And how things ended between us.
So I tried to forget
and just hold on to how much I hate you.
But the more I relive those early days when we fell in love…
the less I hate you.
HANSAE KUMDO CLUB FRESHMAN WELCOMING MEMBERSHIP TRAINING
Ready to go? We're here.
Oh! Did you see that?
A shooting star just went by.
You like stars, Mi-rae?
Where are we going?
Just over there.
Eun-ho.
Do you like me now…
…that we know each other?
If you fall in love…
with another girl and marry her someday,
will you forget about us?
You think you would?
I wouldn't think falling in love erases everything.
It's all part of who we are.
I would remember you
because you're important.
How will you remember me though?
How I was in the beginning,
or… how I was at the end?
I'll remember it all.
The beginning and the end.
With all your changes.
The whole you.
That's a
damn good answer.
I wish you love.
You too.
You talk like we're running out of time.
We just started. re running out of time.
