When you beat the odds to succeed

they say it's like a 'Rags to Riches' story.

The bar exam is the most representative.

But, after 2 years, this test will be

abolished and replaced with law school.

This is causing quite a disturbance.

Over 50,000 students came to Silim-dong

to study, making it a mecca for them.

But now, this is disappearing.

Stop playing games.

You're annoying me.

Hey! You!

You in 403, quiet down.

I said stop it.

Just quiet down.

I said stop!

Did you go crazy after you failed the exam?

Article 17. All citizens have the right and

freedom to privacy.

Right to private communication.

All citizens

All citizens

You're going to ruin it.

Look in the mirror. It's fine now.

It's the same type of Botox rich women get.

Those wrinkles will clear right up.

How's your future son-in-law?

Garbage.

Then why did you approve of him?

Because my daughter's garbage.

Don't laugh.

One moment.

Gwang Soon looks just like you.

Don't talk nonsense

You are the one beat by husband.

Finish your food.

Yeah

I guess I'm in no place to judge.

What's this?

I'm getting my eyebrows done for the wedding.

Are you the one getting married?

Are you?

How much is it?

Do you think $200 grows on trees?

Ah, that's hot.

You need a beating.

A real beating!

A drop of this can make an elephant faint.

Lower your hand.

Leave.

If you don't mind your own business,

you could die.

Be careful.

Geez! See you later.

You drive me crazy. Okay?

Geez.

Stop crying.

I'm embarrassed.

What's there to be embarrased about in life.

Stop living with him. Get a divorce.

As soon as Choon Sim goes to college I will.

Geez

What are children anyway?

Don't talk to her like that.

We're all going through a lot for our kids.

Mi Kyung, your children are doing well.

That's why you can say that.

He's smart, he's handsome, and now

all he needs to do is pass his exams.

He's going to be a judge.

Judge Lee.

I said not to call me that.

Sorry.

Send me some money.

You need more money?

No, I need about $1,200.

What's going on?

- I'll go to Seoul. - Forget it.

My water bill was $1,200.

How can that happen?

You're sure?

My second exam is in 5 days.

Just send me the money.

That's a lot of money

Are you trying to save money right now?

- No. - Send it now.

Hey, Judge Lee.

What? What happened?

His water bill was $1,200.

My restaurant only gets billed $200.

Maybe something happened.

I'm going to go to Seoul.

(Exit 5)

If you're late paying, you'll get kicked out.

Judge Lee, it's mom.

Judge Lee.

Judge Lee, it's mom.

I:

Had a bad dream last night.

I feel like something's happened to you.

Something you can't talk about.

Tell me what happened.

Be quiet.

What are you doing?

$1,200?

(Dongil Mansion Management Fee Notice)

No matter how many times I wash my customers'

hair, my fees aren't over $50.

We can't just let this go.

Can't you just pay?

You know I see things through, right?

I'll figure this out in 2 days.

I only brought enough underwear for 2 days.

Don't worry and just study, Judge Lee.

Why aren't you eating?

I can't study when I'm full.

You need to think of your health, Judge Lee.

Stop calling me that.

I'm not going to be one.

Why not? I thought that's what you wanted.

I'm going to be a lawyer and join a firm.

That's how I'll make a lot of money.

Aren't judges the best?

Money is the best.

In a conspiracy, the other conspirator

I have no idea what this means.

This reminds me of high school.

I studied liberal arts then.

I'd cry when reading literature.

I used to be so sensitive

I used to be that kind of girl.

I was so popular then.

You don't believe me, right?

Are you sleeping?

Let's sleep

Alright, sorry.

Turn off the light.

Did you hear that?

Wake up, you idiot.

Kae Tae, I told you to be careful, right?

I'm sorry.

Come here.

(Close the door quietly if you want to live)

(5 days before the exam)

(4 days before the exam)

(Law Book)

Lawyer Lee.

One moment.

Look at me.

What now?

This is made from centipedes and beetles.

It's supposed to be great for your eyes.

Take 1 in the morning, 1 at night.

How can I eat that?

Hey, Lawyer Lee!

Wait a moment.

- Try it. - No.

What's your name?

Ah I'm Oh Duk Gu.

I'm Yang Mi Kyung, room 404's mother.

- Do you live here? - I live in 301.

Where's the management office?

Why?

Um, yeah, around the corner, there's

an older looking building.

It's right there.

Thanks.

I'm the mother of 404. This is strange?

Water fee? What's wrong with it?

Hey.

It's over a grand.

It's probably because he spent that much.

Hey! Won't you get up?

So now what?

Do you want to fight?

Kae Tae.

Come here.

Hey. Hey.

I told you to come home early.

Didn't I? Didn't I tell you?

What are you doing?

I'm educating my employee, okay?

Don't take your anger out on him, okay?

Kae Tae, bring the bill.

(July 2015, $2,300)

2 grand?

This is split between 403 and 404.

You didn't know that, did you?

Maybe you should make sure before you come.

If 404 didn't use it, 403 used it.

If 403 didn't use it, 404 did.

I don't care.

I don't care about that.

It wasn't my son.

So go talk to 403 yourself.

Bring the guy in 404.

What are you doing? Go.

He's studying, alright?

I just can't get through to you, huh?

I told you we didn't use it, okay?

That's what you say.

Kae Tae, go get him, okay?

Fine. Fine.

Don't call my son, alright?

- Kae Tae. - Yes.

Give the lady 403's contact information.

Yes.

(Management Office)

I don't see a problem.

If there's a leak, the counter keeps running.

But see, it's stopped.

Have you ever seen a water bill

this high from a home?

Once every 10 years or so.

You've been doing this a while, huh?

It's only been a month?

Did you ask the next door neighbor?

I can't get in touch with him.

Do we really need to pay this?

You can adjust it if there are more people.

By how much?

If 2 people live there, it'd be $760.

(How do all of you)

(pay for water?)

A hydrant is supposed to be here

(Let's all discuss this together)

This was built illegally.

Everyone's doing this these days.

How are hydrants billed?

If there's a hydrant in there,

it'd be billed to that room.

So by our meter, right?

Yeah, it'd be the closest.

The management office is hiding something.

(Let's talk at 7 PM on the first floor)

Geez

(404's mother)

(Hello, I'm 404's mother)

(You're busy studying, right?)

(How do all of you pay for water?)

(Let's all discuss this together)

(I'll provide dinner)

(Let's talk at 7 PM on the first floor)

(404's mother)

Is there anything you want to eat?

It's been a while since I ate meat.

Do you want more?

Where is everyone?

There's a saying in Silim-dong.

- Lose in 3s. - Lose in 3s?

Fail the exam, you'll lose money and friends.

They might fail. Do you think they'll eat?

It's 4 days before the exam.

They must all be going crazy.
