A square ring with

19 vertical and horizontal
lines and 361 intersections.

As much as it's called
a microcosm of life

it's the place where I build my
'house' against all kinds of tricks

in one game of victory,
risking one's survival!

That's about the Go game.

This is just a drama about 'Omok'.

Omok Girl

[First Move] Center Point
First stone must be at the center.

The glory days of
my life came too fast.

Baduk LEE (1-year-old)
(Baduk is Go game in Korean.)

Born as a Go game prodigy.

I grew up with high expectations.

"I'm not sure that I could lose."
'Go Prodigy Wins Again'

So, I had to always win.

Eunpyung-gu's Pride. Fighting!
Go Prodigy Baduk LEE

But, one day,

when I felt that I was
just going to lose,



I no longer knew where
to put the Go stone.

Time's up.

When I became afraid of losing,

I ended up quitting Go.

I didn't know it then.

That I'd be working part-time
at a Go club years later.

Where did the Omok player go?

Wait a bit.

Baduk LEE - Former Prodigy ★★

Young-nam CHO - Stubborn One ★

Ten. Nine. Eight...

As an adult, you want
to win a kid that badly?

Yeah. Totally.

Seven. Six. Five. Four...

By blocking here, you can defend
and attack at the same time.

It the Black stone takes the
lead, you could win in 3 moves...

- Whatchu doing?
- Then, from the white side...

Will you place it here and
block here? Interesting.

Or, should you place it here?

Hey, you.

- Hey!
- Yes?

Oh! Oh, my!

I'm so sorry.

I meant to keep it to myself,
but it must've slipped out.

How annoying!

Oh, I... well...

I was standing here, wondering
if I could put this up.

Do whatever you want.

Thank you.

I want to put it here.

- Hey! That's where he hinted at!
- No. My plan was there, too!

Miss White Stone!

Please have a look at
the poster! Thank you!

1st Jungsoo-dong Omok Competition
Cash Prize $500

At that time,

I had no idea that I'd be
entering that competition.

That is, until I found out that

a few months' worth
of rent had vanished.

Housemate - Rent Criminal ★

At that time...

I felt so 'E minor'.

A while ago

Excuse me! Excuse me!

You have a pleasant look.

Me?

Yes, you look...
Aren't you a musician?

Yes. Well...

It's all written on your face.
We're in spiritual training.

- I'm carrying a guitar, so...
- No. It's written on your face.

You look very blessed, but
you suffer physical pains?

Your back or your wrist?

Your neck or shoulder?

No. I'm good.

Things aren't going your way?

Isn't it hard to meet people?

You know that I have stage fright.

So, they said it'll be gone
it I stick this on my guitar.

But, all bullshit.

So, anyway...

The landlady said she'll
deduct from the deposit.

It's fine.

It's not your fault.

Those who took advantage
of you are the bad guys.

Bastards.

Baduk. You're...

I'll help out with the rent.

I'll take two jobs.

Thank you!

I'll do the dishes and everything.

I'll even clean and take out the trash!

I'll even get a part-time job.

Yeah, okay.

I couldn't tell her.

That I already had the
deposit deducted in half.

1st Jungsoo-dong Omok Competition

How about it? It's today.

Seriously?

Seriously. Got nothing to lose.

Not true. There's an entry fee of $10.

Many drops make a shower.

So let's stick some eyes on.

This work was really hard to get.

Many drops just make bigger drops.

I'll get $500 in one game.

So, please take care of
here for me, my friend.

- Hey!
- Let's go!

Go! Go!

500! 500! 500!

We're here for the competition.

- To play? Both of you?
- Yes!

One moment, please.

Name, contact, kyu/dan
level. Please write them here.

Level?

There are levels in Omok?

White Stone. Miss White Stone!

It's that crazy...

It's him. The hint guy.

You really came! This'll be fun.

Miss Black Stone came, too.

I'm not Black Stone, but
Young-nam. Young-nam CHO.

My bad.

Do you work here?

Yes. And, I'm also a player.

You can fill out this entry form.

But, we don't know our levels.

Miss White Stone is
7-kyu. Miss Black, no.

Young-nam'll be 15-kyu.

Do you know her?

No. I saw her once
while putting up posters.

I think it's her first competition.

Then, they're beginners?

No, a strong contender.

Please have this.

Thanks to you two, we'll be
able to have quarterfinals.

The entry forms will be drawn
to assign you in the tournament.

First time competing?

Didn't even know there
was an Omok competition.

Oh, right.

It'll be different from
how you usually play.

You see, there are rules.

It's' rather complicating
and there's a time limit.

Can you do Double Three?

Not only that, but
there's the Renju Rule.

But, no need to worry.
It'll be easy once you try.

Whatever. Omok's all the same.

Oh, I saw your form, and... is
your name really Baduk LEE?

Yes, it is.

Well, that's...

Oh, I'm sorry. It's a very funny name.

I'm Glasses KIM.

- Hey, even your name's...
- Oh, the list of matches is out.

He's changing the subject
when even his name's funny.

Shit.

[Second Move] Stone Placing
Placing a stone on the Omok board.

Young-nam CHO - Glasses KIM

Hotwing CHUNG - Baduk LEE

Hotwing CHUNG?
What's with the name here?

Look here.

In 2 wins, it's second place. 3
wins is first place. That's $500!

I told you. It's a piece of cake!

Awesome!

If we both go to the
finals, it's $600! $600!

That's a bummer.

For me to meet Baduk,
I'll have to get to the finals.

Young-nam, may the good player win.

Stooping low and low.

Bring it on!

Hey, come on.

600! 600! 600! 600!

- By the way...
- Yes?

Your opponent isn't an easy one.

Do you know how to play chess?

Yes. Why?

Because your opponent
moves like the horse.

The horse?

Oh! More hints won't be fair.

This'll be fun.

He's annoying, right?

Yeah.

Today, the regular Renju Rule applies.

Simply put, a penalty is given
to the Black who plays first.

Black cannot make Double Three,

Double Four,

or Six or More in a Row.

And, the first move must
be placed at the center.

20 minutes for each.

After the time's up,
there's a 30 second limit.

Whatever. Since I'm Black,
put it first in the center, right?

That's right.

Player Hotwing CHUNG

Your opponent moves like the horse.

Really?

Referee! Referee!

Isn't that foul play? He
keeps doing something else!

It's fine if he observes the time.

Dang...

Ah, please take your time.

I'll use the restroom.

Glasses KIM (3-dan)
The So-called Genius ★★★★★

So annoying!

What? Isn't this cheating?

This is weird! Making me put
it in the center or central point!

He keeps lying down!

- It's center...
- Start over. Now!

I was off my guard
because he looked lame.

No, you can't.

Oh, come on! Just one more game!

He's eating and playing
around over there,

and you don't stop him,
calling yourself a referee?

Please let me play one more game!

I'm sorry about that.

Oh, shit!

Grandpa Hotwing CHUNG (1-dan)
Impenetrable Defense ★★★

I told you he moves like a horse.

Time's up!

What's this?

Did you play Go?

He's got her.

Not a tie. That's too bad.

I had forgotten.

What it was like to lose.

Glasses KIM's Today's Omok

Hello.

Today's Omok is about Hotwing
CHUNG's Netting Strategy.

Like moving the horses in chess,

he defends by playing like this.

Then, he forms a net pattern.

Like a fish caught in a net,

the opponent can never
make five in a row in here.

[Third Move] Groundwork
Strategic placing of the stones to make five in a row.

What's this?

Omok.

Omok!

Shit. So embarrassing.

Head Manager, sir. There's no time.

Just come in for a sec.

Why keep playing when
you lost to AlphaGo?

I tell you it was all fixed.

Two people?

Yeah, two.

You have to pay first.

Never been to a Go club, right?

I came when I was little
and it's been so long.

Ah, well, yeah...

Manager OH. Let's have
some Odari (squid legs).

Head Manager, Mr. OH.

Why have Odari right after
having stir-fried Ojingeo (squid)?

Let's have one, Manager OH.

Odari only costs 500 won. Okay?

Mr. OH, then you pay 500
won and have the Odari.

I'll buy.

Hey! One Odari!

Out! Out! Out! Out!

- Oh, you misunderstood.
- We'll only stay for 5 minutes.

O? O?

Get out! Out! Out!

What's with her?

Is it because you lost in Omok?

No way!

Nothing to do with Omok.

They kept talking down.

They need to fix their bad habits!

That's why!

Oy. Odeng. Oyster! Oatmeal! Omok!

- Hello...
- I said, get out!

Good bye.

I thought you were mad
at me. That's a relief.

- That's true, too.
- What brings you here again?

Oh, you left this behind.

All the participants get it.

1st Jungsoo-dong Omok Competition

Who won first place?

- It was me, of course.
- Jerk...

But, it was so sad
because you lost so early.

It's because you
don't have basic skills.

Basic skills in Omok?
You just win if you're lucky.

Ah! You played the Go game, right?

Normally, Go players snub
Omok, then get totally smashed.

Hey!

He's making fun of-me now. Right?

He's smiling while mocking me, right?

- Bring it on!
- No, I'm not!

I just think you'll be great
if you learn basic skills.

You have the talent!

You like that.

You like hearing that you got talent.

Who does?

So I came to let you know about this.

6th National Top Omok Competition

Omok Trainer Double Three
Teaches for free as well.

Omok Trainer, Double Three?

Well, who knew?

It's fine. Don't have to do
that much to play Omok.

Well, just as I had expected.

Expect what?

I think you and I are similar.

That's offensive.

It sounds like a curse.

You're afraid of losing, right?

Don't get me wrong.

Actually, fear can become your friend.

Anyway, I just want to
meet a strong opponent.

Please help me, Baduk.

I'll get going, then.

What? Help him with what?

Don't know.

TV?

What's that about?

- You home?
- Yeah.

TV's gone.

Kept bargaining, so I
took off some gas cost.

Hey, I told you to
sell the fridge later.

The guy buying the microwave
asked about the fridge, so...

The landlady came by.

I heard that you already
took the rest of the deposit.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I meant to tell you.

I was so sorry that I stuck on
eyes without getting any sleep.

I guess you didn't feel that sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'll take care of my share on my own.

With what?

By entering in that Omok
competition again?

Well, I could.

- You know that I'm a Go prodigy.
- Really pathetic.

Huh?

We're both pathetic!

When I turned 27,

I thought I'd die after
burning up my passion

like Kurt Cobain or Jimmy Hendrix.

Because of someone, I'm just
sticking eyes on stuffed dolls.

Why's that because of me?

And, when you have onion
juice every day to live long,

why talk about dying at 27?

You're the same, too!

How?

It's been ages since
you quit playing Go.

And, without getting a proper job,

until when are you going to
work part-time at the Go club?

It's none of your business!

Whether I work part-time or
enter the Omok competition.

- I'll make up the money!
- Yeah, right.

You call yourself a musician.

But you can't earn
anything, so you are here,

sticking eyes on stuffed dolls!

But, onions are good
for your health, right?

Get lost.

Hey. Hey!

I mean...

Shit.

[Fourth Move] Double Three
Formation of 2 open rows of threes.

Who are you?

I heard that I can learn
Omok for free here.

Oh.

I don't do Omok anymore.

I do this these days instead.

Sports Stacking.

Here. A new name card.

Speed Stacker Trainer Double Three

- The spelling's wrong.
- Never mind.

If you got no business, then..

Bye-bye.

Oh, okay...

- Glasses KIM. That bastard.
- Just a minute!

Did you just say, Glasses KIM?

Yes, that bastar...

I mean, he said that I could
learn to play Omok if I come here.

I see.

Know him well? Glasses?

Not really.

Well, a bit.

Did you win?

We haven't fought yet.

But, I'd like to.

Ha! That explains the bad dream I had.

All right.

I'll teach you my Omok!

But, you'd better be determined.

My training's rumored to be
the toughest in the Omok world.

How about it? Are
you ready to take it?

But, it's free, right?

Challenge! Alpha-O Ver 5.1

Alpha-O!

Who teaches with books these days?

A beginner like you starts
by first winning this kid.

What are you doing?

Go away.

Black or White?

Why do I have to do this?

Ignorant fool!

Omok's about physical strength.

Think fast.

Place the stone with precision.

VICTORY

Aren't you curious?

Why I decided to teach you?

Because...

- I'm a prodigy?
- A long time ago,

I had the same type
of student like you.

He couldn't place the stone
because he was afraid to lose.

He was none other than...

Glasses KIM.

At that time, my trainings
were famous for being tough.

Go home!

Students could hardly take it.

It was a good game.

Among them, Glasses was
the most talented one.

He had great skills and character.

Everybody envied him.

You did great enough.

But, the problem was...

he didn't know how to take a loss.

Double Three's
Invincible Omok Ideology

Glasses KIM!

Why are you still up this late?

You can't put it there.

Glasses KIM?

No...

Who are you?

Answer me. Who are you?

Me?

It's broken!

The seal is broken!

Then what happened?

Well...

he went overboard.

By chasing after only
the stronger power.

- Oh! That's when your eye...?
- No.

This is because I got a sty in my eye.

Oh.

Anyway, since that day,
I quit teaching anybody.

And, he left this vinyl greenhouse.

Sounds like bullshit.

It's the truth!

I'm sure he's hiding something.

Hiding?

Now that you mention it.

- He always wears a glove.
- The glove.

Yeah, something must
be inside that glove.

I don't think the glove...

Remember.

This is my last teaching.

It's important to win well.

But, it's also important to lose well.

In Omok, sometimes you
win, sometimes you lose.

That's just the way everything is.

- Where are you going?
- Bathroom!

Me, too.

Are you sleeping?

Yeah.

- Tomorrow's the competition?
- Yeah.

I... hope you do well.

Yeah.

Thrifty Market

Here. Eat it.

Tatty for Passing With Perfect Score

This isn't it.

It sure is.

It is. This is the one to eat.

Now, eat it!

You're coming, too?

- Of course. I'm your manager.
- Yeah, right.

Anyway, if you win $3000, you'll
cover my travel expenses?

No.

You have to. I'm your manager.

So, how much?

Around...

Around $200?

- What a punk!
- $150?

Hey! Nothing's wrong with it.

What are you doing?

Damn! It was bullshit!

That Double Three...

Did you really go see Double Three?

Yes. Thanks to you.

I can feel the combat power rising!

Then, I'll look forward to
the finals in the afternoon.

Oh, I'm a seeded player so I
don't play in the preliminaries.

I just enter the finals.

Oh, I see.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Teacher Double Three
asked me to give you this.

Do it like this, and...

Glasses Kim. Heard
you're still annoying.

Be careful or you'll pay dearly.

Stop being cheeky and stop by.

When you come, don't come
empty-handed and bring that...

Baskin... Baskin.

Bring some Baskin Robbins.

That's what she said.

For me, strawberry flavor in big size!

seconds for reading the move.

If you're ready, we'll begin.

Let's go! Yeah! Win!

Win! Go!

I won! I won!

It was nothing.

Did you pass the preliminary?

Sure. The round of 16
will begin after lunch.

Hey, I should've entered, too!

I can't wait.

You, too, right?

Since it's round of 16 right now...

16, 8, 4, 2...

You get $3000 in 4 wins! $3000!

From now, it's the real thing.

Are the list of matches out, yet?

I don't think so.

Big sis. When you win $3000,
will you use it all for rent?

Hearing you call me 'Big sis',
I guess money's pretty great.

It is.

May I sit with you?

Well, this guy's sociable.

- Thank you.
- He's clueless, too.

Want to see the match
list I got hold of?

Although they'll announce it soon.

Bok-shim PARK - Baduk LEE

After 1 win, I'll be
playing against you.

Yes.

But, you're always unlucky
with your opponents.

Your round of 16 opponent is them.

Why? Why at me?

They think we're on the same team.

We have a bit of bad history.

Baduk LEE - Bok-shim PARK

Bok-shim. I'm proud of you. Why?

Because you'll rewrite history.

Conquer! Conqueror!

Nobody can stop us!

Even if it's Glasses KIM!

Even if it's his minion, Baduk LEE.

Even if it's Baduk LEE.

- Who are you?
- I'm the champion!

- Who are you?
- I'm the champion!

Geo fight!

Here I go, the champion!

Bok-shim PARK (2-dan)
Silly Boxer ★★★

Excuse me.

But, I'm not friends with Glasses KIM.

Don't be fooled by the
sneaky confusion tactics.

The champion decides for himself!

Yes! Here I go! The champion!

Shit...

Bok-shim PARK's style-is to confuse
the opponent with noisy boxing.

Baduk LEE!

With Omok skills played
in a sheltered life,

can you handle this?

I'm the champion!

Bok-shim PARK! Bok-shim PARK!
Bok-shim PARK! Bok-shim PARK!

Enough!

People, let's be quiet!

They're playing Omok!

Don't you know 'jung-sook'
(silence)? 'Jung-sook'?

You mean, me?

- No, no.
- No?

Ms. 'Jung-sook(silence)' KIM

$3000! $3000! $3000! $3000!

Stop crying, Bok-shim.

Although we lost today,

we're not finished.

Baduk LEE - Bok-shim PARK

8th Round
Glasses KIM - Baduk LEE

May the best player win.

We're finally playing!

May the best player win.

We'll start the quarter final game.

In Go, you can recover even
if you make a mistake.

In Omok, one mistake can
affect the life in the game.

Ah! Please take your time.

You only have one life.

Glasses KIM, as expected.

He seems to play lightly, but
he blocks with strategic moves.

At this rate,

the Black'll have no more moves
and the White will take charge.

- What's he saying?
- Don't know.

Teacher Double Three was right.

Yes? About what?

Oh, it's nothing.

What did she say about me?

Oh, it's nothing special. Just that...

You're a f**kin' loser
who's full of s**t.

A f**kin' loser who's full of s**t?

It sucks.

But, you're still no match
for Glasses KIM.

So, get him irritated slowly.

Omok's a mind game, too.

He's weak that way.

You're a f**kin' loser

who doesn't have any f**kin skills,

but just talks s**t.

Looks decent, but he's got smelly feet.

- And, he still does Myspace.
- Really?

Doesn't wash his hands
after using the bathroom.

Really? That's sick. It stinks!

What's wrong?

Lef... Left hand.

He does always wear a glove.

Something must be in that glove.

How brave of you to awake me.

Finally, the seal of my
left hand's broken!

From now on, it's the real deal!

Leftie (7-dan)
Overboarder ★★★★★★★

- You can't lean against here.
- I'm sorry.

Bok-shim! Wake up!

The seal's finally broken free!

The seal?

The seal of the left hand!

His eyes are open.

His eyes are slightly open.

They re open! Open!

You don't have time
for that. Baduk LEE!

Try your best to beat me!

Is that all you got?

Not such great skills.

Should I block there first?

No. Did he notice?

Spicy rice cake? Spicy chicken?

Why am I thinking of these?

No. Not enough time.

Let me think. I can't make a mistake.

Let me think. Let me think.
Let me think. Let me think.

What's this?

You're afraid... to lose.

Baduk LEE! What are you
doing? Make the move!

What are you going to
do with our rent deposit!

Please! I get it, I do!

Where do I put it?

Hey, you idiot!

Stop thinking so hard!

So, what if you lose?

Just put it where you want to!

You thought hard and long,
but your move’s disappointing.

Take a close look! This
is how you play Omok!

White Double Three

Finished.

It's a Double Three.

You tried your best, but just be
satisfied about letting me out.

Huh?

Four Blacks

Can't you see my Double
Three? It's no use.

Now, what'll you do?

Four Blacks

That trick doesn't work with me.

Four Blacks

Still look like a bad move?

This.. this is four by three.

Black Four by Three

Here!

Black stone, Baduk LEE wins!

How could I lose...

This doesn't make sense.

I heard you sometimes win and
you sometimes lose in Omok.

Even if you lost, it's not the end.

Anyway, it was a good game.

Wow. He's up.

He has the nerve to act till the end.

What's with the eyes for stuffed dolls?

Baduk.

Thank you.

Please gather here to take
a photo for our website.

Quarterfinals

Anyway, Big Sis, if you win $3000,

you'll cover my travel expenses, right?

Now, we won't have to
stick eyes on stuffed dolls.

I just got to the semifinals.

I'll take the photo. One, two!

But, this photo never made
it to the competition website.

After using all my strength
playing against Glasses KIM,

like a lie, I was eliminated
in the next game.

After that,

I had to stick 30,000
eyes on stuffed dolls.

Award
4th Place, Name: Baduk LEE

People say that...

life is big and complex
like the Go game.

But, instead of a Go game,

isn't life like Omok where
trivial and small stuff

pile up one after another?

My name is Baduk LEE!

Despite my name, I
play Omok really well.

And, I'm the leading character
in this Omok drama.

Bye!
