Serves you right!

What, serves me right?

All right, let's get going.

I'm tired.

Stop moping around

and go see the play or go home.

I'm gonna turn in.

"Go Blue Team. Go White Team."

Ready

"Run with mom"

"Run with Mr. Choi"

Good Hongyeon!

Why you...

"Run with Principal Hwang"

Oh, Mr. Kang!

Miss Yang, what are you doing

here on a Sunday?

It's my turn for weekend duty.

What are you doing here?

Well, that is...

Here it is!

I was just getting into the plot.

"School Administration"

I'd left it here.

What's so interesting

about that book?

It's got its virtues.

It's quite interesting.

Actually, I wrote a song.

One more song...

Uh... Mr. Kang...

Miss Yang. I just...

"They hugged, they hugged,

he hugged from behind"

"Kang, Suha + Yang, Eunhee = baby"

What if he really did hug her?

If he did, he's a fool.

I don't ever want

to see that fool again.

Doesn't he know she's older,

she's an old maid?

Isn't it too heavy?

She's supposed to be 25.

But she looks much older.

She's probably seven years

older than him.

How could he hug such an

old woman like her.

He's a fool. An idiot...

She seems to wear

too much lipstick.

She seems to wear

more powder these days.

I guess turning thirty

does that to you.

Well make-up can't make up

for old age.

Try to look younger to a man

ten years younger than her?

She think she can marry

a man ten years younger?

She should marry someone older.

He should know he can't marry

such an old woman.

Everytime I see her fake

made-up face, I feel terrible.

Why'd she have

to come to our school.

Why isn't she married.

I hate her...

Mija, did you take my shoes.

Are these it?

Do you know

how expensive they were?

Hey let me try.

Here, let me, let me!

Hey, give me that!

Do you guys know what this is?

Mr. Kang, come here.

Isn't this yours?

They totally destroyed it.

Totally!

I swear, it wasn't us.

What? You little rascals...

I saw you with my own eyes.

You liars!

We swear! We just picked it up

from the ground!

Why you lying little punks!

Oh my. I'm so sorry!

I should have given it back

to you sooner.

This LP was for you...

It's my fault for not

disciplining them!

No, that's not it!

I shouldn't have just

left it there... I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Don't eat!

Stop eating them!

There isn't enough for lunch.

Girl, they're hungry too!

Take your shoes off,

this room isn't the playing field.

They're new.

Do you want lunch or not?

Ma...

Don't you think

rice-rolls aren't enough?

You're not the only one

packing your teacher lunch?

How 'bout one of our chickens!

What?

What is it a picnic or a

presidential dinner?

I wanted to wash my face...

I didn't know you were here

Mr. Kang?

Yes?

About the record...

I told you it was ok.

Don't worry about it...

You've really cooked

a live chicken before?

My family's been running a

restaurant for over 10 years.

Piece of cake.

Miss Yang? There is an odd rumor

going around.

Have you heard?

About us.

That we're going out

Have you heard?

Yes, I have.

I'm OK with it but I'm worried

about your reputation...

There's even graffiti

in the bathrooms.

I know, I've seen them.

What should we do?

It's just rumor amongst kids.

Don't worry.

Well... yes, I know that.

Wow, it's hot.

Go ahead...

Well, actually...

Over there!

Isn't that Hongyeon? Oh, no!

Hongyeon!

That was close!

Weren't you scared?

The waves were really strong...

It's lucky I can swim.

Aren't you cold?

I'm fine.

Thank you for everything.

I love you more than life itself.

I truly love you Eunhee.

I fell in love you

the first time I saw you...

No! It's too obvious!

Good morning.

You look nice today.

Ay! All dressed up,

What you have a blind date today?

Miss Yang has resigned today

due to personal reasons.

She's leaving for San Francisco

with her fianc.

She's only been here a year.

About her students...

Ay, look at you! You stink.

Why are you so drunk?

Sorry, ma'am.

When I heard that Miss Yang

had quit, I was ecstatic.

I almost clapped out loud.

A woman should follow her husband.

I was so happy, I even enjoyed

cleaning the classroom.

I was overjoyed

It seems that Mr. Kang is upset.

He should be happy for Miss Yang.

Funny! She will be a great wife.

I wish her happiness.

What's with this girl.

Carrying on like this by herself!

Pass... Pass... Pass...

Yoon, Hongyeon... Fail!

Let me borrow it.

No!

What now?

It was a birthday present,

and he keeps asking for some.

You didn't bring any?

My mom said to borrow some.

Where're your crayons?

My older brother

took them to school.

Please share yours with him.

Yes.

All those who aren't prepared

raise your hands!

What do you need?

By any chance...

Oh, Mr. Kang, is that you?

Ahh, I told him to leave

again and again...

No closing remark today.

Bumho,

please come to the Faculty Room!

Are teachers here a bunch of punks.

Beating kids and ripping

their ears? What have you done?

Ma'am, please calm down.

It's not what you think.

Calm down? How dare you!

You hurt my kid and

you ask me to calm down?

You want to be crippled too?

Please ma'am, let me go,

there are kids here!

I'm gonna kill you!

You've met your match!

You can laugh about this?

She's ignorant. How can she

treat a teacher like that?

It's all my fault.

Uhh...

Sorry you had to get involved.

That's Ok

Well be careful, it's dark outside.

Uhh... Teacher...

Yeah?

What's an "elp"?

It's not "elp", it's called an LP,

music comes out form it.

Yeah.

This was broken.

I meant to throw it out...

ah, ah, only you

What are you singing?

You sound like a squealing pig!

Why don't you study?

You're gettin' on my nerves.

Hey, mister, hey mister.

Can she borrow it?

She'll give it back.

Good girl.

Where's the King of the Sea?

That's Dootae...

Where are the servants?

They were here a minute ago.

Good? Give it to me.

Stop fighting.

FIRE!

Teacher! I can't find Nanhee!

What are you talking about?

Nanhee, Nanhee...

No! Teacher!

Get out of the way. I'll be fine.

Where on earth were you?

I went poo-poo.

What?

Nanhee!

Are you trying

to get yourself killed?

Outta my way, boy!

It's my baby in there!

Sir, we're running out of water.

Hongyeon, no!

Bumsoo!

A teacher must continue learning

to teach his students.

We know more since we lived

a bit longer than them

Omnia, Amore, Vicit,

"Love Conquers All"...

I've held onto this belief

for the last 35 years

but the truth is I'm just

becoming a big talker.

Tomorrow's the start of

Spring break, aren't you excited?

Yes!

Today...

Today is our last day together,

aren't you glad?

No!

I hope you'll remember me

if we ever meet by chance.

YES!

Girls get shy and hide

when they see their old teacher.

No way!

Then you'll greet me even after

you all get married?

YES!

We'll see about that.

After you all get married

and old, we'll see about that.

You're really leaving?

That's so sad.

It's not much.

Just a train ticket to Seoul.
