My dad always said,
Luck seven, skills three.
In this life, if you are skill level 3 in something,
you need 7 times as much luck.
No matter how hard you work, you can't beat a lucky bastard.
- Okay! - I'm taking it all.
Eat shit.
- Damn it. - Nice.
Hey, son.
Life is like a game of Gostop.
No matter how hard you try, if something isn't meant to be
it’s not going to work out.
There are somethings, if you leave it to the universe,
will work out even if they are impossible.
There we go!
Son, you saw that, right?
Life is like a game of Gostop.
Even if your cards are great and you're skilled,
you can't beat a lucky bastard!
My dad lived his life like he was always waiting for some miracle.
Thanks to him, my life was spent bearing everything on my own.
Hey, son!
Life is like a game of Gostop.
Don't get scared. Just confidently hit them!
I don't believe in luck, dad.
I will make it through hard work.
If I don't work hard, I don’t have skill or luck.
Then, what will I do?
I will rescue my life from this gutter, myself.
With my skills.
I am holding it together
but with one mistake, this can break.
You could end up never being able to use your leg again.
- What about Mu-tae? - He abstained.
His shoulder cracked.
Why did you guys have to get in a fight?
Set!
This bastard!
Who told you to wake up? Huh?
I refuse to get beat up.
I have a competition in a few days.
Hey, Mu-tae, you get up too. You also have a competition.
Get up. Get up.
Hey, Jegal.
Let go.
What to do, since you're so upset about being beat up?
How did you end up kicking a superior in the face
during practicing?
You don't know what a sparring partner is for, do you?
Why are we always sparring partners?
I don't know. That's just the rules of our club. The younger students…
Aren't we the only younger students?
All the kids who went to college are exempted,
it's just us two.
If we always play the losing role, when will we win?
If we make a habit out of losing,
we might lose competitions we could very much win.
We also have a competition soon. So we should be…
He's got way too much to say.
Hey!
If you're upset about getting beat up,
then, don't do sports. Go and live your life
running you mouth.
Hey. Hey!
If you hate losing,
don't do sports. Just get out there and
live your life getting into fights, you bastard!
Stop being a baby and get on the ground!
Give that to me.
Sir…
He has a competition the day after tomorrow…
I'm sorry.
Hey, are there any kids here who don't have a competition?
I have a competition tomorrow too, you bastard!
Hey, hey! If you don't get on the ground,
you'll just get beat up.
Before you're an athelete,
I'll turn you into a person, you bastard!
Hey, Mu-tae! Are you okay?
Hey, take care of him.
You bastard.
You idiot bastard, come here!
Hey!
Goddamn it.
Let's just abstain.
Gu Tae-man is set to go to the Olympics either way.
- To try this with your leg is… - I'm going to win.
You will lose.
The referee is on their side.
The organization and national coach are all supporting Gu Tae-man.
No one, in a real game, has gone all the way to verdict
and won against them!
I just need to not go to verdict then.
I'll get a K.O.
Is this judo?
Getting a K.O. in taekwondo is like seeing a falling star.
Darn it, you're nosy. Just sit and finish up.
What are you trying to do with this leg?
With your leg broken. Are you a swallow or something?
Can you even get out there?
Ready.
Bow.
Ready.
Oh gosh, you might be extending yourself too much.
If I can't endure this, I can't become a national athlete.
The moment when skill levels don't match,
isn't the one with a stronger mentality that wins?
Going on about mentality again.
The fact that you think we are on the same level
means you are not mentally well.
If you're scared, just turn around.
Okay.
Ready.
Go!
Valid!
Are you okay?
Continue.
Invalid!
Move backward.
Get up. Get up.
And my father used to also say this.
What was that? Did you just pull a fast one?
Y'all are card sharks, aren't you?
What are you saying?
If you're scared, just turn around.
If we search you guys, you guys would be dead meat.
Guys, we've got card sharks!
- Huh? Card sharks? - Card sharks?
We better get them.
Those guys are card sharks.
I bet less than a dollar at a time!
Dad!
Though dad had told me he'd be back soon,
he did not return for a year.
In his letters, he would say,
"Even the lucky ones can't beat those who squeeze and hit.
Never get involved
with those who play unfairly."
No, dad.
Even the lucky ones, the ones who don't play fair,
they can't beat the one that works hard.
This isn't gambling. This is sports.
I am going to lead a different life than you.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
So what do you think happened to that game?
As you all know, that game
ended with the other player winning.
It was the referee's decision.
And as you can see now,
I am standing here
in front of you all.
I believed in the power of hardwork.
Without that belief, I couldn't get out of
the gutter-like my life.
There was no other way out.
"If I just do it, it'll happen. My dreams will come true."
"If I want it enough,
the universe will help me.
If I work hard, all will be better."
But that was not the case.
I worked my ass off but it didn't work.
Because I was bad
and because I didn't work harder I failed and was abadoned.
If you are starting to feel that way,
I want to tell you
that it isn't your fault.
A cheater had joined that match.
There are so many things that just don't work out
no matter how hard you try.
Why do we have to be the only ones to work our asses off?
Even if we work hard,
tell those who made this world, a world that doesn't
let things happen even if you work hard,
to work harder.
Jegal Gil, you're so handsome.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
I am a huge fan.
I was a fan since your athelete days.
Here you go.
- You're so good looking! - I know, thank you.
Do you have to keep using a cane for your leg?
How did you become a mental coach?
Ah, you haven't read the book yet. Read the book.
- Bok-tae! - Come this way.
Read the book.
If you get the two as a set, you can get 50 cents off.
Oh… Okay. 50 cents.
- Do you take credit cards? - Sure thing.
Excuse me, can I…
Can I get some counseling?
Sure, why not?
Why not?
Why do they look up the lectures so much
but not read the books?
Still, you beat a monk with this book.
Number 1 in the essay category.
You know what's been the best part
of giving up sports?
What?
I don't have to bet my life on whether I win or not.
I can sleep well at night, even if I'm not in first place.
Jegal Gil was one stubborn kid.
When you lost, you couldn't sleep a wink.
Jeez. What was all that anyway?
Exactly. What even was all of that worth?
What would it matter if I get a gold medal
after working myself to death?
The pay is just $1000 a month.
But this, once it's uploaded,
money goes up, everytime you click.
Paid for lectures, counseling, and even royalties...
Where are we going next?
There's a corporate lecture in Jongro.
Then, a video shoot and you're done.
Okay, let's go.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
You might ask, isn't this such a huge transformation?
To change a person's life,
it only takes 10 seconds.
Seven.
Eight.
Ugh how frustrating!
Count faster! Why are you counting so slow?
The slowest 10 seconds of my life.
Right before the 10 seconds that felt more like 10 minutes ended
the bastard got up.
Keep!
Separate!
- That's cheating! - Foul!
- Point deduction. - Not a deduction!
He just punched him in the mouth!
Stop.
Damn it!
Blue wins.
That day's competition,
with the bullshit saying, "Misjudgements are a part
of the game,"
put the end to the controversy.
When I had regained consciousness,
it was long after the surgery on my torn cruciate ligament
had passed.
Though he didn't know much, my father
couldn't watch as people cheated at Gostop.
He took the fighting bull of our next door neighbor to Seoul
and put on a 1 person protest in front of the Korean Olympic Committee.
What's he doing?
Not even Gostop is played like this!
Corrupted judging in our sacred sport of Taekwondo?
Remove corrupted judges!
Remove them!
Remove them! Remove them!
What are you doing? Quickly!
It's those people I'm telling you!
Joker, no!
So, it was athelete Jegal Gil who started the fight,
and you end up getting injured, right?
If you don't answer, you might also be disciplined
for protesting.
I'll just retire.
As a result of that event, I lost a fellow athelete
that was closest to me,
and had a gold medal, that could have been mine,
be taken away
The defendant, Jegal Han-ryang, will be sentenced to 3 years in prison.
and instead gained 300,000 dollars in debt.
What's the 3 hundred thousand dollars?
Mr. Hwang's fighting bull that died…
- Yeah? - He was worth 3 hundred thousand dollars.
You know what a seeding cow is?
His name was Joker… He was super expensive.
Ah damn it!
Why, why, why, why?
Hey, Gil! Where do you think you're going with that leg?
One moment, Gil!
- Darn it! - Hey!
Darn it!
Korean-
national athelete
eat shit!
Life up close is a tragedy
and, from far away, a comedy.
Charlie Chaplin said that.
Things might be so hard right now that you want to die but
when you look back on this in the future
who knows if these will be funny stories you tell others?
Will there really be such a day?
In order to find out, you have to keep living.
Until you can be far enough to truly look back.
Are you really all okay now?
Mmm…
At the very least, I know this one thing.
Life doesn't end just because you quit sports.
It's not easy, of course.
You've likely only played sports since I was in elementary school.
To start something else now
is probably too scary.
It's not like I have a medal or something I accomplished.
There's nothing else I know how to do other than basketball
but I don't want to play basketball anymore.
I'm not sure what to do.
I believed in the power of hardwork.
Without that belief, I couldn't get out of
the gutter-like my life.
There was no other way out.
"If I just do it, it'll happen. My dreams will come true."
"If I want it enough, the universe will help me.
If I work hard, all will be better."
If you keep on shooting your shot there will come a better day for sure.
I'll see you next week.
- Thank you. - Of course.
I'll see you next time, Yeon-ji!
I hope your leg gets better!
I read your book.
Ahh…
If you get better, I'll think about it.
Get home safely.
Go on, yes.
Uh…
You… You remember me, right?
Hey, Cha Mu-tae!
Are you kidding?
You changed your number without saying a word!
You were the first one to go off the grid!
This bastard!
Hey this…
You live long enough to see, huh?
Okay, I get what you are saying.
If you tell me which sports club it is…
That's complicated?
Hello, Mister Director!
Then, think about it a bit more and give us a call again.
You must be busy with the association.
For you to come out to the offices…
No matter how busy, I still have to do what I need to do.
If there are any approvals that need to be made
- please hand them to me. - Yes, sir. Here they are.
Ice skating…
Since the competition is coming up, there are many ice skating ones.
Are there any sports clubs that don't have competiions?
Even shit finds its way onto a field of gold.
Shit on a field of gold…
Isn't that all just fertilizer?
Shall we go on an investigation?
Huh?
We'll see.
- There aren't any more, right? - Nope.
Well then, I have a meeting.
Good bye, center director sir.
Be a bit more stylish, like an office worker, huh?
Have a good day.
If need be, we'll need to go investigate.
Ah, with the election right around the corner,
wouldn't this be the time a medal is needed moreso than ever?
Maybe you should let this one slide, Mister Chairman sir.
Yes, I understand.
Was sports the easiest one?
These people are all talk.
Yes, Coach Oh!
I think we need to see each other.
Wow, to have caught your eye, I must really be going viral.
How is mixed martial arts?
I've watched you on TV a few times.
I've already retired.
Ah, you know, my shoulder.
I have chronic pain so it was for the best.
It's nice not getting beat up.
Ah… Shoulder…
Oh right, Gil!
Come visit!
Are you inviting me to come dance with this leg?
Are you joking?
Do you think I came to see you for the first time
in 13 years to sell something?
It's just that…
Who?
Ga-eul.
Cha Ga-eul. My younger sister.
Oh really?
She's pretty! Not like you at all!
Will you meet her?
Huh?
What are you saying?
I'll get called a thief.
How old is she?
- She does short track. - Huh?
Cha Ga-eul wins gold!
She's pretty talented, our Ga-eul.
She was a national athelete at 17.
As a high school senior, she went to the world championships.
She ended up really getting a gold medal afterall.
People went mad saying it was a miraculous turn of events
but this kid just smirked.
She's got such a good pokerface that I can't even tell
what she's feeling at times.
Four years ago, she moved to the works team
and was restrained a lot. She was injured often, too.
And then she kept failing to make national athelete.
I think that was it.
YIPS.
Gil…
Please help my little sister
to not become like me.
National athelete…
By the way, how much is your fee?
I'm sorry, Mu-tae…
A national athelete is just difficult…
That's enough. Money's no object between us.
At least, meet her.
Say sorry if your sorry, and say you can't if you can't.
Why couldn't you speak, you pretentious bastard?
Ugh, seriously…
The line up for the preliminary round is out.
Should I send it your way?
No, they'll pick us anyway.
I should set up a dinner with Coach Oh.
Oh what a boring meal.
This time, just do it cleanly with an envelope.
This time's really individual play. No running, okay?
Ugh, don't be like that.
You're the most dangerous.
Who said they'd run?
You two are so funny.
Hey, Gil! Gil!
Sorry to make you come all the way here when you're busy.
No, no. It's okay.
I can take this opportunity to visit the university.
- It’s nice. - Is it?
- Let's go. - Yes, let's.
Since national team selection is coming up
take good care of yourselves
and do not get injured, okay?
- Yes, sir. - You got that?
- Yes. - Yes.
- Haneol, Haneol fighting! - Haneol, Haneol fighting!
When you see you friends, you should say hello, Cha Ga-eul.
You've gotten prettier, Cho Ji-young.
Thanks to a special someone.
Will you be at the selection?
What are you curious about?
Even if they pay you,
an athelete should get proper recovery time.
You could really hurt yourself.
Are you worried for me or are you keeping me in check?
There's no "keeping things in check" between friends.
If you're going to show up, start by replacing those boots.
Don't lose and them blame your boots.
Do you think I'd lose because of my boots?
I don't know about other reasons but…
You're talking in a weird way.
What other reasons?
Is there anything other than skill to winning or losing?
This is why she doesn't have friends.
That attitude.
Do you really think Cha Ga-eul is right for it?
Out of the works team, she is the most skilled…
Of course, she is not without skill
but our sport
is not only individual but also a team sport.
Harmony within the team, working together,
sacrificing for each other.
A national team member needs these things
and she doesn't have them.
I know because I raised her.
You be careful, too.
She's one to stab you in the back, after raising her.
Soon…
It's been a while Coach Oh. Hello! Hello!
You're here to see Ga-eul. Go ahead and see her.
I'll be going.
If you're not busy, I'd love to treat you to a meal…
I'm busy. I have appointments.
How about dinner?
I'm busy for dinner as well.
Just a moment, just a moment! I work here and…
Why are you blocking a person's way?
I'd love to treat you to something here.
My goodness…
Now, take my hand and stand up.
Cha Ga-eul, 25.
Defensive. A rough personality.
Cha Ga-eul, you piece of shit.
How could you lose to a middle schooler?
How is that enough to make you feel better, huh?
Hey, you **** whose blood on her head is barely dried.
Would it kill you to move out of the way you ****?
You're young enough to be my niece. Should I just kick you?
That's how you curse someone out. That feels good.
Do it to someone else, huh? Not to yourself.
What's your deal, old man?
I'm not an old man.
I'm your older brother…
- Older brother my ass. - Ga-eul!
Hey, you're here?
We've already spoken.
I was saying I'm your older brother's friend.
You don't let people end their sentences.
Why would you do something never asked for?
I told you yesterday.
I have a friend who is a professional mental coach.
He also used to be a national athelete.
He knows how to treat atheletes with YIPS…
Who has YIPS?
Hey, Ga-eul…
Very vigilant and doesn't listen to end of sentences.
I'm sorry but we don't need stuff like this.
Stuff like this?
I am completely normal mentally.
I never said you weren’t.
I'm not a psychiatrist. I'm a mental coach.
I don't do treatments.
Mentally healthy people can hit a slump, too.
For atheletes well…
Even if without a special reason, if performance continues to decline
that's because psychological issues are affecting muscles.
YIPS can be easily therapized with…
Get your leg fixed first.
There are many atheltes who get surgeries for their
ruptured cruciate ligament.
There are atheletes who continue after recovery.
You said you were diagnosed with psychogenicity?
By a psychiatrist?
I read your book. My brother has one.
Oh, a reader?
In the end, you gave up on recovery, sports, all of it.
You decided just to live like that.
You decided to not work hard. It was betrayal of hard work.
You sold your own tragedy
and blamed everyone and ran away.
You gave up, didn't you?
Hey, Cha Ga-eul!
Wow, you have your facts down.
But I didn't run away. I escaped.
I didn't quit. It was a new beginning.
If you change your perspective,
can't a new life unfold?
The world isn't just about winning or losing, right?
Right. There were many great sayings in your book.
But you should save those for regular people.
Here are people who are trying to be national atheletes.
Wondering if I should put my life on the line for this,
slumps and yips…
These are all just like common colds to us.
We will have it and overcome it.
So don't make a big deal.
Trying to help me like this
makes it harder for me.
Hey…
Hey, I'm sorry.
This is nothing.
- But Mu-tae. - Huh?
To be honest… I…
Wait a minute, could it be?
Ah damn it.
Jegal Gil.
Mu-tae, Park Mu…
Cha Mu-tae, oh?
It's been a while.
Wow, how long has it been!
Wait, Ga-eul's brother! You're our professor's underclassmen?
Ah, my direct junior at Taereung.
Oh!
Have you been well, Jegal?
Do we have this relationship? You bastard.
I should just dig out your eyeballs.
Are we really like this?
I will be 40 soon.
I am an adult.
The past is in the past.
You've been well, right?
Yes, it's nice to see you. It's been a while.
I'm home.
Oh, you're here?
- What about dinner? - I ate already.
Gosh, your nails are causing trouble again.
Mom, I hate that so much. Let's just skip it today.
Shush, give me your foot.
Give it here.
Mom, you don't even really hear what I say, do you?
Feet are the most important to atheletes.
I did this for both your brother and dad.
You brother was fine but
your dad had the same issue with his nails.
Seriously, a girl trying to do sports…
Jeez. Look at your feet!
All busted up and hard.
Even if you inherit everything else,
don't inherit your dad's craziness.
Even if you lose toenails, they'll grow back.
But if you lose your head, you are no good.
Mom, you need to dye your hair.
Do you want to go to the salon tomorrow?
As long as you do well,
we can do whatever to support you
so don't think about anything else. Just work hard.
You started this. So might as well do well.
For an athelete, not doing well can ruin your life.
All we need is for you to do well.
Just you.
I just…
I just need to do well.
I will do my best!
Now, this glass is for, our national hero,
Olympic gold medalist,
Gu Tae-man!
Oh, jeez.
And this glass is for our Ga-eul's spiritual support,
my sister's forever coach,
Oh Dal-sung coach!
Why am I your sister's coach?
Who turned whose back on who, huh?
Hey, coach…
Here, here, here! Cheers!
Take your glass!
Why?
Is this bastard mocking me?
Oolong tea? Are you mocking me?
Ah, your humor is still the same!
Pick up a glass!
Woah.
Now, I'm thinking of old memories.
We have to do our department's chant!
Chant ready!
Chant start!
Awesome and fun! Taekwon taekwon hooray!
Let's eat and die today! Taekwon taekwon yeah!
Oh. Sit.
That was nice.
Hey, Jegal, you've finally learned to socialize!
How nice is this?
If you were like this back then, none of that would've happened!
Exactly.
Thanks to you, I gained a life lesson.
Ah, is that so?
He's cute, huh?
Hey, get up there and sing.
Yes, sir.
Bravo, bravo!
My life, my life.
To the courage that's continued to this day.
Bravo, bravo!
My life, my life.
For our brilliant
future.
I'm really sorry about what happened before.
It was all because I was bad that Ga-eul did what she did.
She wanted to go in my place to the works team to make money.
Had she waited four years until she graduated
I could've found her something better, huh?
I discovered Ga-eul at 9 years old when she was this big
and raised her like a daughter for 10 years.
How could she do this to me?
I'm so sorry. But…
It was all because I was bad that Ga-eul did what she did.
I was the person who got her that gold medal…
That was me, Coach Oh!
Speaking bluntly, until Ga-eul
gets on her knees and begs for forgiveness
I won't take her on as a national athelete.
Never.
Of course.
Coach Oh, you really are speaking without thought.
What?
My goodness. I'm sorry professor.
- Are you drunk? - No… Not at all.
- You're not drunk? - I'm fine.
So you're sober
and embarrassing my juniors like this?
In front of me?
I… I'm sorry… I…
Do you choose whoever you want as Korea's national athelete?
Why…
Why do you make a gold medal?
S… Sorry… I'm sorry…
To be blunt, Coach Oh, until you get on your knees and beg
I'll be angry. So what do we do?
S… Sorry…
Sir, I… I'm sorry. It's myfault.
No, Mu-tae.
- Sir, I… - No, you stay still.
Stay still.
I've tried to live quietly since I retired
but when I see bastards like him I lose my mind.
- Coach Oh! - Yes?
- Coach Oh! - Coach, Oh Dal-sung!
Coach Oh…
What year is it that you speak like that, huh?
I'm sorry.
- In front of the athelete's family! - I'm sorry.
Why aren't you on your knees?
Coach, don't do this.
Sir, this… This is because I made a mistake in the past.
I… I'm sorry. I…
Get up.
What? Jegal, you have something to say?
Oh, it looks like he does.
Move.
It looks like you do. Say it.
You're good at talking.
Talk like you used to.
Jegal Gil,
speak if you have something to say.
Go on, go on.
Go on and speak, you bastard.
Wow… People really don't change.
But you know what?
What?
If a person changes, they die.
How nice is this? So constant.
Easy to predict.
That's why I like you.
Why?
Because you're easy.
What?
- You idiotic bastard… - Ahh ah ah.
I love you, sir!
Eat a ton! It's all on me.
I've been mouthing off and making a lot of money.
Eat a ton. Yes.
Hey, Gil…
One… One moment, sir.
I…
Ah, that's no fun.
Hey, Gil!
Hey, Gil, Gil!
Why would you pay for my drinks?
Leave your routing number with me.
Just take it. I'm paying back a debt.
What debt?
I can't take on your sister.
Huh?
You retired because of me.
Why was that because of you?
I felt sorry so I thought of taking her on but
I don't take on national atheletes.
I have a trauma with that.
I know at rock bottom, you have to dig when they say dig
but when I see bastards like him I just want to
take a dig at them.
But as you can see, I can't wuite do that.
This is my safety pin.
You're not the only one who changed. I've changed too.
Let's pay back our heart's debt with money.
Let's not start something we can't take on.
If the world won't change,
I'll change.
That's how you survive.
You're right.
It would be faster to work with them.
That's why Gu Tae-man put on that show.
You know. Putting people in place.
You decided to not work hard. It was betrayal of hard work.
You sold your own tragedy
and blamed everyone and ran away.
You gave up, didn't you?
Right.
I was not strong enough to win against everyone
and I did not have anything precious enough to
sacrifice my ego for.
So I escaped this place.
What would the president know? His background is in business.
Aren't I right?
Once I escaped, I saw the people who were standing on the line.
Skilled bastards…
Push only them to be able to win medals, okay?
People who pretend to be strong.
But really
you, whose background is in sports, really deserve
that role! It’s perfect for you.
Why don't you try running for it?
Those who hide themselves by feigning weak.
Didn't you say you knew someone at Sungjin City Hall?
Let's see… Who's there…
Coach, I will pour you another glass.
Who's at Sungjin…
Those who pretend to toss diginity aside
in order to protect what they love.
Those who fight with themselves for survival.
Everyone just wants to live a slightly better life than now.
A slightly better life…
Once I realized that it had nothing to do with effort,
I decided to not live with passion.
Instead, a bit more like me.
Slowly but relaxed.
What could be impossible?
Why not?
Why not.
Why not my ass.
What's wrong? Did you get cut?
I think today's race will go well.
I saw blood on the day I won gold too.
Look.
Just race as well as you can.
This is Group 2, 500m race.
Haneol Sports University Oh Sun-ah, Cho Ji-young,
and Sungjin City Hall's Cha Ga-eul
and Seojin City Hall's Mo Ah-reum.
These four atheletes are at the starting line.
As this is short distance, I am already nervous about this match.
Go to the start.
They have started.
Oh Sun-ah of course has a good start.
She's heading off first.
Oh Sun-ah, you've got this!
In short distance, the start is very important.
Once they begin, the order doesn't easily change.
Currently, Oh Sun-ah is in 1st place.
Haneol Sports University, Cho Ji-young is in 2nd.
Mo Ah-reum and Cha Ga-eul follow closely behind.
Yes, Oh Sun-ah and Cho Ji-young
are the skaters that took 1st and 2nd in the first round.
And Cha Ga-eul, who is following closely behind
is a skater who won gold at the World Championships.
Yes, that's right.
But since then, there hasn't been much news for Cha Ga-eul.
Still, she is a skater we can all anticipate on.
Yes.
And in fourth is skater Mo Ah-reum.
She is the skater who took 2nd in the Round 1 500m race.
Even at a very young age, she has earned
great scores at this year's competition.
Oh Sun-ah, who had taken 1st place overall in Round 1
is in a very good place.
Yes, that's right. Skater Oh Sun-ah is in
a great condition this competition.
Yes. Following right behind her, skater Cho Ji-young
and Cha Ga-eul and Mo Ah-reum follow behind.
Ga-eul…
You have to make a spurt…
As I speak, skater Cha Ga-eul is speeding up.
Yes, skater Cha Ga-eul is trying to overtake.
But since Cho Ji-young has a great course in front of her.
- Ji-young, check! - It's not likely, Ga-eul will succeed.
Suddenly, Mo Ah-reum, in 4th place, moves forward.
Now, she moves towards the incourse.
Third and fourth place skaters,
Cha Ga-eul and Mo Ah-reum are fighting mercilessly.
As they turn the corner,
the two skaters fall.
Ah, skater Cha Ga-eul falls.
Skater Mo Ah-reum, who was heading toward the incourse
collided with skater Cha Ga-eul, who was speeding forward
and fell.
Skater Cha Ga-eul tried to avoid Mo Ah-reum
but was unable to reduce her speed.
Group 2 first place, Oh Sun-ah.
Second place, Cho Ji-young.
Cha Ga-eul and Mo Ah-reum disqualified.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
We still have 1500m and 3000m. There's no need to be disappointed.
- How was I today? - You were great! Great!
Excuse me, coach…
We're prepping for the race.
I'm sorry.
But could I have five minutes of your time?
No, just one minute.
I get it! I get it! I'm coming!
Sun-ah, I'll be right back. My goodness.
She's late.
The number you are trying to call is unavailable…
Yes, Yeon-ji, come in!
I was just calling you, Yeon-ji…
I…
You're Jegal Gil, right?
Yes… But who are…?
I'm sorry but you'll have to come down to the station with me.
What about the media? Did you stop them?
Well… The thing is… We found out from the reporters…
This is not a case that was reported to us, right?
- I don't really… - What?
What are you doing, not finding out?
Yes, sir.
If you keep doing this, I will report it to the
Human Rights Center.
What will you report?
Mo Ah-reum falling… You planned it.
There is no plan.
Even if there was, that's all a part of competing.
You should know.
Coach…
You said you would help Ga-eul.
When did I say that?
She's not on my team. Why would I help
another team's athelete?
But you clearly said…
You spoke before like you wanted me to support her...
Me? When?
- Before… - By skillset…
I said skaters that are good enough to win a medal.
Isn't our university the most skilled?
Do you think our professor wouldn't be able to differentiate your plans?
Plus, that professor runs the Sports Human Rights Center.
You really know nothing.
From what we've seen, it does seem like a suicide
but we do have to investigate, just in case.
You said Oh Yeon-ji came for an appointment last week.
As you are a professional, you must know well.
Did she show signs of being suicidal?
No.
Sir…
She was a lot happier after seeing you…
She read your book
over and over.
She said that if she were to give up sports,
she'd want to learn nail art.
I want to be at peace now.
I want to stop trying.
I'm sorry, older sister.
Is this something to brush off because you didn't know?
If you received a call, you should've reported it.
I… I did write a report.
But there were so many papers…
First, get rid of this.
And we never received this.
Next up, is the womens 1500m finals.
Go to the start.
ready.
With the starting call, the skaters are slowly accelerating.
As the 1500m is a total of 13 laps,
keeping up stamina is very important.
There is no need to rush at the beginning.
Currently, front line, skater Cho Ji-young
and Oh Sun-ah is following right behind.
Behind skaters, Oh Sun-ah and Cho Ji-young,
the plan seems to be to save up stamina
and then compete at the very end.
Behind the first two skaters are skaters,
Mo Ah-reum and Kim Moo-young. Cha Ga-eul follows behind them.
There are four laps left.
Okay, this is finals.
- Sun-ah, you skate as usual. - Yes, sir.
Ji-young, you maintain front line until you move to second.
Tank again?
Do you want to fight here?
I'll take care of you in the finals.
Kim Moo-young checks Cha Ga-eul.
As Cha Ga-eul disqualified during 500m,
she will need to win some points in this race.
She tries to race inwards
but Kim Moo-young does not forfeit her spot easily.
No, she does not.
As we speak,
skater Cha Ga-eul is looking toward the incourse.
Cha Ga-eul heads toward the incourse.
As she moves inwards, Cha Ga-eul speeds up
and hopes to pass 4th and 3rd place.
Cha Ga-eul succeeds in heading toward the incourse.
- Go Ga-eul! - You need to block her!
Skater Cha Ga-eul is usually known for her out course
but today she comes in with through the incourse.
She now passes skater Mo Ah-reum.
Cha Ga-eul follows right behind Oh Sun-ah.
Cha Ga-eul has risen to 3rd place in a blink of an eye.
The physical competition becomes more brutal.
Cho Ji-young seems to move slightly outwards
to check Cha Ga-eul.
They have to be careful.
If she does that, Oh Sun-ah could move past her.
Cha Ga-eul comes forward again.
She is now looking toward the out course.
As we speak, Cha Ga-eul is moving toward 1st.
She has moved past the 1st and 2nd skaters.
Cha Ga-eul is racing a fantastic offensive race.
Is there anything I really need to check?
She's already in a slump…
Don't joke around, Oh Sun-ah.
If she races for real, you're toast.
Oh Sun-ah! Oh Sun-ah, spurt! Spurt!
This is crazy. What did Coach Oh plan…
Oh Sun-ah, go easy! You'll hurt yourself.
Ji-young, you move past.
Ugh, you guys are so loud!
Last lap! Currently, front line is Cha Ga-eul,
2nd place Cho Ji-young, 3rd place, Oh Sun-ah
and Mo Ah-reum and Kim Moo-young are behind.
Suddenly, skater Oh Sun-ah
third place Oh Sun-ah comes forward.
She moves pasat Cho Ji-young.
Today's fight for first place is brutal.
What just happened?
Cha Ga-eul and Oh Sun-ah both fall.
- They both fell. - Both skaters…
Yes, yes. I see it now. Dasung Hospital.
Which room did you say is her wake?
Ah, yes.
As Cha Ga-eul and Oh Sun-ah fell together,
they hit the fence pretty harshly.
Let's look at the screen once more.
In the end, you gave up on recovery, sports, all of it.
You decided just to live like that.
You decided to not work hard. It was betrayal of hard work.
You sold your own tragedy
and blamed everyone and ran away.
You gave up, didn't you?
Anything repressed comes back like a boomerang
and hits you where you are weakest
like a dagger.
And there is where I found my old self
from the past I threw away.
