You know the smiling

Hahoe masks of Andong?

Yes.

Know why it's smiling?

To symbolize humor in life?

Nope.

Let's smile? Be happy?

What's Andong famous for?

Spicy chicken?

Not food! A special product.

Hemp cloth?

Textile to make clothes?

- Right.

- Hemp.

Hemp is made out of

marijuana, you know?

The whole town is filled with

marijuana fields.

Farmers would gather

to smoke it and get high.

It wasn't illegal back then.

That's why the

Hahoe mask is smiling.

Because they are high!

The whole town is!

I heard that too.

- Junkies all gather...

- Yes?

For marijuana in September.

After the harvest, marijuana must

be burnt in front of the local official.

All local officials fight for

the spot to sniff it.

Shouldn't we go?

Let's go and sniff it!

Shall we?

- Be like the mask?

- Yes!

- Get high?

- Let's go!

I'll make a U-turn.

Go!

When I was six, mom couldn't

stand dad and left.

She used to say...

If you do bad things,

you'll go to hell.

Adults are always right.

I really wanted to live

like a king.

Some say your life flashes past

when you're about to die.

It's happening now.

THE KING:

The nation wishes President CHUN

a successful tour to Burma...

Wow! Is this a color TV?

Yes. My dad bought it.

It's nice!

My dad was a crook.

When color TVs were rare,

he went around to steal them.

He stole anything that was worthy.

Like radios and rice cookers...

He'd sell the stolen goods

to women at markets.

Bring my money!

Win 3 times your bet!

He was a crook living a trashy life.

Kids, know what this is?

Chicken!

But he'd bring home

some chicken...

and said I should learn to drink

from him and tried to be a dad.

Seeing Si-yeon with a guy

reminded him of mom running away...

Dad couldn't stand it.

Go!

Stop it!

But mom left because

he cheated on her.

Who's the big guy here!

What did I learn from

my troublemaking dad?

Nothing but fighting.

Life may seem easy

for a top fighter in school...

but defending my title wasn't easy.

CHOI Du-il

Night school is nice.

You get to go late.

A cop is at your place.

What did your dad do this time?

How much will he pay off

this time?

Mr. Prosecutor, I'm sorry!

Please forgive me!

How dare you!

Please, sir!

My dad was getting hit...

by a man he can easily defeat.

I'll lock you up!

Mr. Prosecutor,

I can't go to prison now.

Prosecutor?

The man who's slapping

my dad is a prosecutor.

That's real power.

Sentencing people for life...

or even death!

Dad is kneeling down

because he is a prosecutor.

Fighting rules only in school.

Eventually, those nerds will

own the real power.

That's when I decided

to become a prosecutor.

If the upcoming

1988 Olympics goes well...

Korea will be marked as

a developed country.

So study hard!

Don't wake him.

Who'd do the dirty jobs if

everyone become prosecutors?

Will you? Let him sleep.

But a crook's son becoming

a prosecutor was not easy.

I never studied in my life,

so books made me fall asleep.

Is something wrong?

No.

Tell me!

I should study for my exams,

but I want to dance.

Then study here!

Here?

They're reading comics.

Why not books?

What on earth!

I couldn't study at a desk,

but I could concentrate here!

I can't stand silence

so I studied better with distractions.

They call it white noise.

I could focus better

with some noise.

Really!

Seriously!

PARK Tae-su!

Your grades went up a lot.

From 53rd to 12th?

You went up 40 places?

You tried real hard, huh?

See for yourself.

Like your grades?

You tried really hard!

You fool!

You cheated?

Don't you have a conscience?

I didn't cheat!

How dare you! Come here.

Damn it!

Who did you copy from?

Sorry for doubting you.

- See? I didn't cheat!

- Right.

When I took the test alone

and still did well...

he apologized

and bought me food.

Exam Rank 1:
PARK Tae-su

PARK Tae-su!

I got into Seoul University.

Aren't you protesting?

Since everybody does,

I guess I should.

That won't change anything.

Isn't it pathetic?

I wouldn't say that.

Why me!

Let go!

Yeon-sil!

Yeon-sil!

Yeon-sil!

Tae-su! I'm sorry!

She turned out to be the

wanted protestor leader.

Then I got dragged into the army

for helping her escape.

A Seoul University law student

should know better!

Hometown!

Pardon?

Your hometown!

Dad warned me to never say

that my hometown was Jeolla-do.

I'm from Seoul, sir!

It says Jeolla-do.

That's my father's hometown.

I was born in Seoul.

If you're from Jeolla-do,

they'll brand you as a commie.

So I listened to him.

Thanks to that,

I was placed in a laid back base.

I kept studying.

Until my discharge,

I studied for the bar exam...

and went into examiners'

housing afterwards.

People were stuck inside

to study for years...

dreaming of a fancy life

after passing the bar.

Evidence 1.

Cash used for illegal gambling

and drug trade.

Evidence 2.

Weapons used for threats.

Someday I'll be a prosecutor

spotlighted on TV.

We're pleased to root out

the smugglers and...

I got lucky in passing

the first round.

Then we're given two chances

to pass the second round.

I took it once to get a feel for it,

then kept studying.

Oh sh*t!

Excuse me!

PARK Tae-su

I passed!

Passing the second round

meant I passed the bar.

No. 235, PARK Tae-su!

Why did you take the bar exam?

The third round is the interview.

Son of a b*tch!

Unless I slap their face,

I'll pass for sure.

Look!

Smile!

Look! The bus is here!

PARK Myung-hoon's son, Tae-su,

Passed the 33rd Judicial Bar!

Tae-su!

After the bar...

we're trained for 2 years

at the judicial training institute.

As soon as we went in,

marriage brokers hounded us.

We got tempted with wealth

and women beyond our dreams!

Sorry, I got stuck in traffic.

She was late too,

but the man should be early!

So sorry.

This is PARK Tae-su,

from Seoul University.

Isn't he handsome?

It was her.

I signaled!

- Still, you can't just cut in!

- You crazy!

- Are you a gangster?

- What if I am!

Try it! Hit me!

Geeze!

- Move your cars.

- What?

Move your cars then fight!

You're blocking traffic!

What the hell?

Come out here, b*tch!

I'm out. What now?

How dare you raise

a hand at a woman!

Move it!

Why are you leaving?

No need to waste time.

What?

You folks like the

submissive type.

Dad forced me out here.

I thought I'd pretend to be good.

But you saw me,

so let's not waste our time.

But I don't like

kind and quiet girls.

We drank 7 bottles

of vodka that night.

We fell for each other completely.

We made love like lovers

who haven't met in years.

We were hungry for love.

We got married after 6 months,

as I officially became a prosecutor.

She almost married someone else.

But when her father got charged

with $7 million for embezzlement...

he was against her marrying

anyone but a prosecutor.

Then she went on blind dates

with countless prosecutors.
