Doesn't everybody?

Wait.

Today, why don't we

listen to Deok-kyu's story?

The story of the Legendary Fighter.

- That sounds good. Let's hear it.

- Great.

In senior year, a few kids from our school

got beat up by Myeon-seok High kids.

Are they here today?

The ones who got beat up?

- Who is it?

- That's him right there

I took revenge on them

and kicked few butts.

They chased me for months

It was really tough.

Boxers work out tremendously.

They are different from

normal people.

They didn't know so they just

came at me.

It's like a kindergartner

picking a fight with a grad school student.

If you were so different,

why did you kick around the normal kids?

I didn't hit anyone

We were just fooling around.

Human memory is so convenient

Isn't it?

Yo, everybody fooled

around back then.

Hey, Deok-kyu

Why did you quit boxing?

At first, I was into boxing without

knowing much about it and competed.

When everybody kept complimenting me,

I lost interest

I thought you got in trouble

hanging out with Lee Sang-hoon

and had to quit boxing.

Who said that?

I heard Sang-hoon works for

Son Jin-ho's CM Group

I guess he wants to spend

his life as a henchman.

That's so sad.

You don't see Sang-hoon?

No.

Why not? You should.

You were best friends with Sang-hoon.

Have a drink.

You don't recognize me?

South Seoul High kids were

kicking my ass

when you came and saved me

It's me Jang Joon-soo.

Oh, Joon-soo.

- Nice to see you.

- Same here.

- How are you?

- I'm doing great

I didn't expect to see you here.

How did you even think about

coming to the reunion?

Huh?

Now that you're here

I've been meaning to

tell you something.

The time you saved me

I'm not grateful at all.

Why?

Because after you learned my face,

you were very mean to me

I didn't use profanity back then

so I didn't know, but now I think about it.

You were a piece of trash.

Hey, Joon-soo Are you drunk?

What are you talking about?

This was all in the past,

we're all friends.

A friend? What friend?

Let's not do this.

We need another round.

Are you leaving?

No, I'm just paying right now.

- Thank you.

- Yes.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

This is bull sh*t.

He's not a legend.

He's an outcast. An outcast!

We just ignored those

fist fighting bastards.

Better alone than in bad company.

Stop it guys. If you start talking

about the past, there is no end to this.

Block it! Mark it!

Nice shot.

Shorter, shorter! Shoot!

Hey!

- Let's go play by ourselves.

- Okay.

You only need to punch

Why are you always running?

Are you going to run a marathon?

Go to your own school.

You better get over here.

This is all you got, right?

If I find another cent,

you're dead

Lee Sang-hoon.

Go away.

Just walk away

This is embarrassing.

Is this what number one does?

You stay in the gym

and stop worrying about school stuff

I thought you were good.

How can a tiger survive

on eating grass?

If I'm going to play,

I need to fatten my wallet.

Then go earn it, a**hole

or ask for allowance

from Son Jin-ho.

- What the f***?

- F***!

What are you doing?

I thought you two were friends

Didn't you watch A Better Tomorrow?

Chow Yun Fat never fights Lung Ti.

You disloyal bastards.

Nothing happened between you two

Got it?

Go away.

Nope

I said go

I said no.

The Olympics will be held

in Jamsil district.

Why are they taking down

Sadang district?

What do you want?

Do you think I hang out with Jin-ho

for his money?

Did you come to argue about that?

On the field trip day.

Do you remember the guy

who brought Jin-ho's lunch?

That's my dad.

He's Jin-ho's mom's driver

I'm being nice to Jin-ho for

my old man so don't take it wrong

I'm not a coward who will

brown-nose for money.

The people here are getting kicked out

of their or your beloved Olympics.

So what?

So be sorry, qualify for the game,

and get that gold medal.

What does this have to do with me?

Everything.

Huh?

What?

What?

National Amateur Boxing Championship

and 88 Olympics 2nd Qualifying Round.

That's it. One, two

One, two. Okay.

More. Go further in.

That's good!

Good.

Push him back.

That's good!

What?

Stop.

We'll announce the judges' decision.

For the 40th National Amateur

Boxing Championship

and 2nd Qualifying Round for the

national boxing representative.

Final round for welterweight division.

With the score of 11 to 10

Red corner, Hwang Yoon-chul wins.

- What happened?

- Why?

This game is rigged.

Hey, did we win?

Lim Deok-kyu! Lim Deok-kyu!

Coach Choi.

What is this? This is nonsense.

Coach Choi! Let's talk.

Let go of me.

For a big game like the Olympics,

an experienced athlete should compete.

Isn't that how the world works?

What?

Open the f***ing scoring card.

You call yourselves judges?

Lim Deok-kyu won.

Lim Deok-kyu.

Lim Deok-kyu! Lim Deok-kyu!

That's good.

Isn't it?

Hey, Deok-kyu.

Lim Deok-kyu!

Who is he?

Don't you know the amateur boxer?

- He's fine.

- Oh yeah?

Hey, where are you going?

Come and join us.

Deok-kyu?

Lim Deok-kyu?

Am I your friend?

Sh*t.

Just leave him.

You be careful

okay.

Okay?

Okay.

Nice clothes.

Look at these ladies.

Let's have fun tonight.

Buddy, laugh a little.

Look at these bastards.

- Hello.

- Yo, yo.

- Where are you going?

- Go down.

Come on! Let us in!

We got money. We'll tip you.

Bastards! Go to Cheongryangri!

Don't come around here.

Come on

We won't come back tomorrow.

Yo, bastard.

You want to go in that badly?

Then go bring your mom.

When I'm done with her,

I'll let you in.

What the f***?

B*tch.

- What the f*** did you say?

- F***er.

- Just leave him.

- What the...?

F***er.

What, b*tch?

Stop.

Let go of me

What the f*** did you say?

Stop it.

For Lim Deok-kyu!

Cheers.

- Where are they?

- Which ones are they?

Hey, guys!

F***ers! Get them!

F***.

Sang-hoon!

Sh*t.

B*tch!

Hurry and drink up

Let's open for the day.

Yes, sir.

F***ing a**hole! Get them!

B*tches!

You really want to die?

F***er.

Kill them.

Cuff them

and haul them all in.

Let me f***ing go.

Come on!

I'll never lose. Never!

I'll never lose.

Bow down to me, you b*tches!

Mr. Lee, wait.

Lim Deok-kyu is the talk

of the town right now.

Can't you just use him

for few more months?

We've been getting tipped off

about his bad boy days.

So I'm a bit concerned.

What kind of bad stories?

You were his classmate,

don't you know?

That he played rough back then?

Did they say bad things

about me too?

That's only for us to know.

Every show needs some

human drama.

Two friends meet in the ringside.

One man is a manager

at a big corporation

who sent his kids abroad

for good education and lives alone.

If you win, we'll make you

the idol of office workers.

Ms. Hong.

Do you know how many news media

I'm in charge of?

If I go on that show, they'll

take me for a joke.

How can I control them afterward?

I'm sorry that you had to come

all the way here.

You're in charge of PR.

So you must know your basics?
