The second generation of rich

family business owners never does.

But the third generation is always

getting in trouble, drinking alcohol.

Maybe because they mix their drinks.

By the way...

Who tipped off reporter Seo

about the incident?

It must've been

one of the employees there.

The informer?

I'll tell you after you drink this.

Is the informer important?

It's important that the readers

love these gossips.

Stories of the rich and famous.

It's important to us that you hold back

that piece forever.

As soon as I go to my office,

I'm going to print it for tomorrow's paper.

Please, sir, I beg you.

Just follow the custom.

What custom?

You want to withdraw

the advertisements?

Please understand.

That's the only thing we can do

I heard that you and Mr. Son

are best friends.

We are classmates.

Have a drink.

Birds of a feather truly

do flock together.

One beats up a bar hostess.

One threatens a chief editor

that he's going to withdraw advertisements.

You two must be great friends.

Are you okay?

Once a high school boxing star,

Lim Deok-kyu becomes a TV star

1. Lim Deok-kyu

2. Jung Sang-ho KO clips

3. Legendary Fighter

We'll cheer for you,

Mr. Lim Deok-kyu.

Holy sh*t!

Look at these comments.

The tattooed gangster video clip is up,

and it's a big hit.

Someone from the audience

must have posted it.

Ms. Hong please come and look.

Soo-bin's Noodle Shop

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Thank you. Please come back!

- Four Bowls to table number two.

- Please enjoy.

Yes. Four bowls. I'll get

the ones that are ready first.

- I'll be right there to clean up.

- Here is your food.

If you go on TV one more time,

you'll kill me.

Don't come to work anymore

You might get sick

I don't know how to beat up someone

but I got better stamina than you.

Don't worry about others

and go work out

I don't need to work out

I'm not going back to the show.

What? You're not going

for the second and third win?

I got the money I need.

Are you insane?

It's a great opportunity.

Do you think you're rich?

What's wrong, mom?

Bring him to his senses.

Pour a cold bucket of water over him.

Why?

Congratulations!

You hit the jack pot!

Winner of Legendary Fighter,

Lim Deok-kyu's Noodle Shop!

From National Intelligence Agent,

Seo Kang-kuk!

How is it?

It's embarrassing!

Strike while the iron is hot.

Did you get what you wished for?

The network edited so much out

that they won't budge

I need something stronger.

Stronger? How?

This man heated up

the internet all last week.

Mr. Lim Deok-kyu who knocked out

a professional martial arts athlete

is going for his second win.

The contender is this week's

Legendary Fighter, Mr. Min Young-ki.

Is Mr. so-called Intelligence agent

Seo Kang-kuk Mr. Lim's manager?

The world has become

a better place.

If you mentioned Intelligence Service in

the old days, they would've locked you up.

Perfect counter punch.

Four, five, six.

He won't stop punching

Min is in danger.

He's down!

This is Lim's chance!

But he just stands there.

Mr. Lim.

- In mixed martial arts,

- Fight!

You don't wait when your

opponent goes down.

The bout continues until

the referee stops.

Fight!

This action is ridiculing

the opponent even more.

Fight!

A strong right body punch!

Referee stops!

He wins second week in a row!

Mr. Lim receives $40,000!

Winner

I don't know if we'll find

a worthy opponent for Mr. Lim soon.

Unless a professional athlete

like our Jason here.

How dare you compare him to me?

You need to refrain from insulting

professional martial arts athletes

I think you need to be quiet.

Mr. Lim has good manners.

Tonight, the owner

of Soo-bin's Noodle

House continues to

turn his life around.

Lim Soo-bin.

Hey!

You have friends who have

something like this?

Like everybody.

Really?

Soo-bin.

No matter what,

don't give up on your dreams.

You'll regret it later like daddy.

Can you not talk something stupid

when we're eating food?

This is not just food,

it's pork cutlet.

Is this funny?

It's not.

That Eun-seo kid

Is she back in school?

That was a good experience for you.

So next time, don't beat up

anyone for no reason.

When you get mad,

take a deep breath.

If you still can't calm down.

Then hit some place

like the cheeks.

Not the eyes or nose

but spots like cheeks.

One, two!

Just punch hard once and end it.

You said you won't go back

to that lousy show again.

Your grandmother keeps

insisting that I go

and the restaurant is swarming

with customers.

If I want to keep that up,

I need to do some advertising.

It is him.

- Then change the name of the restaurant.

- He looks just like him.

Stop using my name.

Check out his fists.

He looks scary.

- If he hits us, we might die.

- Isn't that the picture girl?

It's her.

What's with that?

Let's go

okay

I don't know if getting famous

is such a good idea

I heard that there is a camera in there.

Want to take a picture together?

No.

You said you have a daughter

in middle school.

Yes.

Does she like you?

Of course.

When you live

abroad for a long time,

a family becomes very tight.

Saying that you lived abroad

makes you look like a real agent

I don't lie.

Lose him! What are you doing?

Defense! Don't just get hit!

Move away and punch.

Put your guard up! Put it up!

Lim meets a very strong contender

in three weeks.

Mr. Kim Sang-rok has learned

martial arts from long ago.

As I said, the best martial arts

is the mixed martial arts.

Lim is still putting up

a pretty good defense.

He's up again.

Kim's attack continues.

Lim seems helpless.

A high kick! Right on the spot.

Lim must've taken a big hit.

Lim is continuously pushed back.

Does Lim grab this chance?

Continuous blows.

A left hook.

Left! Right!

Now, Lim doesn't wait

on his opponent.

Look at that.

Massive pounding

That's what I call mixed martial arts.

Before he knew it, Lim has

assimilated mixed martial arts.

Referee stops.

Lim is the winner.

Lim has shown us

some shocking stuff.

Without consoling his opponent,

Lim enjoys the joy of victory.

He becomes a true fighter.

- Welcome.

- Yes.

If you already paid you due,

I guess I can't do anything about it.

Lim Deok-kyu.

It's Deok-kyu.

Hey, Deok-kyu.

Welcome.

Long time no see

I saw you on TV. You kick ass!

He showed that middle-aged

Korean men are still alive.

That we are still very much alive.

A pride of Class of 88

Legendary Fighter, Lim Deok-kyu.

Say something

I thought it'll be awkward to come

to the reunion since this is my first time.

But thank you for greeting me

so warmly.

Take it easy.

We won't hit you.

Okay. Hope we keep in

touch more often.

I'll come to the reunions more often.

So come and dine

at my restaurant

I heard that Soo-bin's Noodle House

is doing really good.

What are you going to do

with your prize money?

Pay for this reunion today.

Okay, today, it's on me.

Bravo.

Go Sadang High!

Go!!

How have you been?

It sucks.
