Teacher, Hongyeon's not coming
to school ever.
Why, what's wrong with her?
I don't know.
She just doesn't want to she said.
What's she doing then?
Just laying on her stomach all day.
Why, is she sick?
What's she doing?
Nothin'. She just lies there like a frog.
She's just playing hooky.
How much further?
We're almost there.
Yoon, Hongyeon, Teacher's here!
Ay, Teacher!
What brings you all the way here.
I don't know what's got
into that girl.
Why won't she go to school.
She drove me crazy!
Ma'am, where is she?
She was here.
Where is this wretched girl?
She's hiding in the back.
What are you doing there?
Hongyeon, why've you been absent?
Why're you behaving like that?
OK, kids. Go on home now.
Ma'am, could I talk
to her alone, please?
Sure, sure!
Mr. Kang, if she don't listen
to you, just beat her...
Hongyeon!
Hongyeon
Hongyeon, look at me.
I came all the way here
and you won't talk to me.
Didn't you hear your mother
telling me to beat you?
But I would never hit you...
Hongyeon?
But you must come to school.
I was worried about you.
I thought you were sick.
Even in an accident.
Well, I'll expect you
in school tomorrow.
It's not the same without...
Wow, these cherries sure are ripe.
"My heart is beating,
you're the one who knows"
Some girl student of yours
left them here
I asked her name and her grade
but she didn't answer.
A big girl I might add.
"Come closer..."
Thanks for the cherries.
Here, let me help you!
No, I've got it.
It's too heavy for you!
No, I'm Ok
Come on, let's go.
I can carry it.
Someone will see us!
So what?
No.
You go ahead.
Geez!
Ladies and Gentlemen
Prepare yourselves
for the time of your lives!
"We're not fake medicine men,
we don't ruin your white skin
with poisonous potions,
we give you laughter and tears..."
My prince, how can we forget
our parents' war by running away?
Who's there?
Is that you, Hongyeon?
Hello!
What are you doing there?
Are you here to see the play?
Aren't you scared?
Sitting here alone...
Hongyeon?
I'm not scared.
Really? Have a seat.
That sure is a full moon!
Hongyeon,
were you waiting for someone?
No?
Why are you laughing?
You're so foolish!
Darn mosquito...
You scared me! It's just...
a mosquito!
That's one big mosquito!
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.
Oh, no, The rice is burning!
You're really leaving?
Maybe I'll become a farmer.
Hongyeon, I'm too inexperienced
to teach anyone.
I've got a lot to learn.
You do understand, right?
I'll always remember you.
Hongyeon
Teacher, don't leave.
Don't go! Don't go!
Where're you headed?
Into town to the
bus station for Seoul.
You're in luck! I'm headed
for Seoul. I'll give you a ride.
Teacher, this is from Hongyeon...
Are you going or not?
Teacher, don't go!
Teacher, don't go!
"Teacher, Teacher, Teacher,
Teacher, Teacher..."
