Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo (2016–2017): Season 1, Episode 6 - Long Tails Either Get Caught or Stepped On - full transcript

[English subtitles are available]

[Weightlifting Fairy, Kim Bok-joo]

Yes, Mom.

Yeah, Jae-yi.
Are you going to be late tonight?

No, I won't be late.

You know those
dumpling-like things?

-Oh, you mean the dim sum?
-Yeah, that.

-Okay, I'll get some.
-All right.

Yes.

It's boring, isn't it?

Would you like some gum?



It's sugar free,
so you don't have to worry.

Ah, yes.

I don't have
any water in the car...

No, it's okay...
I'll just hold my breath.

What's the matter with me?

Everything was
going so well...

That was a long
wait,wasn't it?

There are no convenient
stores in the area.

I got you something warm
from the vending machine.

Here.

Thank you, Doctor.

How is it?
Better?

I think so.

It's getting colder during
the morning and at night.



You should've worn
something warmer.

It didn't go away yet.
Drink a little more.

A little more.

Drink it all, it's okay.
It's only tea.

[Episode 6: The longer your tail,
the more likely you'll get caught]

I first started to swim
when I was 11 years old.

I was lonely and awkward, and the
water was like a safe heaven for me.

Like a mother's embrace.

To be honest, she left me with
my relatives when I was 10.

When my mother remarried
and moved to Canada.

And your parents now?

They're my uncle and aunt
and Jae-yi is my older cousin.

But it was okay.

My mother would send gifts
and postcards for Christmas,

...and I didn't
feel abandoned.

Because one day,
we'd reunite.

But...

Mom, do you
have a bandage?

Did you hurt yourself?

Check the drawers in front of
the master bedroom.

After looking
at them again,

...I noticed that the handwriting was
different from the first three postcards.

Kind of like someone was
forging my mother's handwriting.

It was your aunt?

So that was the day...?

Yes. It's the first day I started
experiencing the symptoms.

Thank you.

This wasn't a comfortable subject,
but I appreciate you sharing it with me.

Do you think it's related
to my symptoms?

Probably.

As I've told you before...

Panic or conversion disorders
are psychological.

It may also cause
a hearing disorder.

That day must've been
shocking for you.

The connection you felt that you had with
your mother was severed in a single day.

That's good.

Since we've located the problem,
now we can work it out.

Talking about it
is half the battle.

Let's see here. I'm trying to determine
the best course of treatment for you.

I think we should
carry out a test.

When is your
next swim meet?

Thank you for
giving me a ride.

What's with her?
Why is she dressed like that?

I set everything up for her, so the least
she could've done is to fix herself up!

Then my brother would think,
'You look nice today, Miss Bok-joo'.

I can't believe that she
dressed up like that...

I could drop you off
at home.

I don't feel comfortable sending
a woman off at night by herself.

It's okay.
I'm really okay.

I can make it home with
my eyes closed from here.

And I want to stop by
the market for a few things.

Okay. Then I'll see you
at the hospital.

And remember to stretch
before you go to sleep.

Yes.
Goodbye, Doctor.

Will you look at that...?
Don't strain your back now, Bok-joo.

Geez, just look at her.

Bok-joo,
are you that happy?

Where is she going?
Where is she going now?

She doesn't normally
take the subway.

3,2,1...

Okay!
There she is.

Am I catching a cold?
That darn dress...

Who is this?

Our very own
Weightlifting Fairy, Kim Bok-joo.

Are you monitoring me
24 hours a day?

Why do we always
run into each other?

I know, I'm amazed too.
Why do you always catch my eye?

What's that?

Nothing.
It's none of your business.

It looks like you're
on your way back from the concert.

But don't tell me that you wore a dress
with matching shoes there, did you?

Are you crazy?
I'm not old-fashioned...

I was just wondering.

Because my brother
isn't into those girly-types.

Really?

Nope, that was a lie.

All guys like girls
who are feminine.

Hey.

You saw me and now
you're teasing me. You're evil!

Hey, I spent money and I'm
getting insulted. This is unfair.

So stop teasing me.

The tickets cost me
a month's worth of allowance!

Yeah, well...
thanks for the tickets.

Yeah!
You should be thankful.

So was it nice
being with my brother?

It wasn't bad.
And he gave me a ride.

A ride?
You went all the way!

Bok-joo, watch out!

That would've been bad.

What would I have done
without my quick reflexes?

That guy needs to
learn how to drive!

Hey!

Come over here, you punk!

Jung Jun-hyung!

Why?
Are you leaving?

You should lie down
a little longer.

No, I'm okay now.

You were having temporary stomach
cramps, so I gave you some painkillers.

These are antacids.

Make sure you
take them after you eat.

Thank you.

Cramps usually happen
after periods of stress.

Are you stressed out lately?

Yes, a little.

Is it a guy?

Who is it?

Which idiot is giving a pretty girl
like you such a hard time?

Hey, you should dry your hair first.
You're soaked here...

Just shut up!

Hey, let me see that!
You'll never dry yourself at that rate.

Forget it!

Hold still for a moment.
I'll dry your hair for you.

I'm really sorry.
What will we do about this...?

There. Now you do the rest.
I don't care anymore.

I never asked you
to help me, you lunatic!

Hey, so did my brother figure it out?
That you have feelings for him?

No, I don't think
he has a clue.

I don't want him to find out.
Guys don't like girls who lift weights.

Here, look.

Look at the blisters.

Who would like a hand
full of calluses like this?

Who cares?
It's because you're an athlete.

It's like a badge of honor.
And I wouldn't be scared at night.

I wouldn't mind that.

You have a good
point there.

But today
was a good day.

Thanks to you, I experienced
something similar to a date.

When the doctor was
giving me a ride earlier,

...I felt like Cinderella
in the pumpkin carriage.

You know how after midnight,
she'd wake up from the dream.

At least she ends up
as the wife of a prince.

I know, right?

I only watch movies with happy endings
because I feel lousy if it's not.

Hey, did you know?

There's a toad that lives in the
fountain over there that grants wishes.

-What?
-You didn't know?

Aren't you a Haneul student?
It's a really famous legend.

You know all the seniors
who've won gold medals?

It was all thanks
to the toad.

You really need to start studying.
Work on that imagination of yours.

I'm serious!

As long as you wish
hard enough,

...it'll grant your wish
without asking any questions.

You can give it a try.

Wish for everything to go well
with you and my brother.

Every time you
open your mouth...!

Did you catch a cold?

Yeah, my nose has been
feeling plugged.

I'm sorry, but I've got something
important coming up, and I can't get sick.

I'll be going now.

What are you doing?

Seriously,
I can't get sick!

It's going to last.
My colds are as strong as I am!

Virus, swag~

I'd better not get sick.

I'll kiss you if that's
what it takes to return it!

You just wait...!

Wait up, old friend.

Wait for me!

Let's go together.

I really did catch a cold.

This is so annoying.

Are you sick?
You look really pale.

I'm fine.

I've caught a cold myself.
Maybe this room is unlucky.

Why won't this open...?

Let me see that,
I'll do it for you.

It's okay. I'll do it.

Let me see it.

Forget it.
I'll do it...!

I'm sorry. I'm a little
sensitive right now.

Bok-joo can compete even if
she goes up a weight class.

Chang-gul, the happy party
out there wants more radishes.

What are you doing right now?
You're burning the chicken!

Oh no...

Everything's burned!
What a waste...

Did you fall asleep while
the chicken was burning?

No. I was thinking
about something else.

We'll focus on the upper body,
work with current weights.

-But we'll increase the repetitions.
-Okay.

Should we increase
his protein too?

Let Woon-ki worry about that.
I'm sure he can manage that himself.

I'm glad that Woon-ki
made the decision.

But Bok-joo might be
harder to convince.

I can't bring it up without
her father's permission.

And Bok-joo would have
trouble making that decision.

-Have you arrived?
-Senior, you didn't have to come here.

You should've called.
We would've gone to you.

You probably know
why I'm here.

We're all busy,
so I'll get right to the point.

Yes, Senior.
Go on.

It's about what
we discussed the other day.

Bok-joo's weight class.

Hey, what do you
suppose it is?

How would I know?

But why is it making me
feel so anxious?

I'm so curious.
I really want to know!

I'm losing my mind...

Can you settle down for a moment?
I can't think with you fidgeting around.

Bok-joo, hurry up
and come out!

Shush.

What?

My weight class?

Yeah.

Surprised?

Of course you're surprised.
I would be too.

We both believe
that you've got a chance.

We don't usually change weight class
months before a competition,

But hey, you're strong and you've lifted
at a 140 lbs level before.

That's when I was
at my peak.

You need to keep pushing yourself.
We'll be there to help you.

As you already know,
the competition is stiff at 130 lbs.

Even if you're
exceptionally skilled,

...your medals can change
if you're not in top form that day.

But at 140 lbs?

Nationally and internationally ,
there's no representative athlete.

We're not trying to put
any pressure on you.

But if you move up
a weight class,

...some of the other athletes
can hope to medal at 130 lbs.

Yeah.
It's a win-win, Bok-joo.

It's good for you, and it gives
the other kids an opportunity.

All you need is
7 to 9 more pounds.

Woon-ki is on board, and we're making
a new program for you guys.

Once you make the decision,
we can really shoot for this.

But I should discuss it
with my father...

We already discussed it. He gave it a lot
of thought, and gave us permission today.

What?
Father did?

Why did you give them permission
without telling me about it!

Do you think it was
an easy decision for me?

I couldn't sleep at night
after hearing about it.

So why are you making such
an important decision by yourself?

Going up a weight class isn't
as easy as blowing up a balloon!

Father, you know that it's much harder
to build muscle than it is to lose weight!

I know, but life
is a challenge.

Challenging yourself constantly
is the mindset of a weightlifter.

And like your coach tells you,
there's a good chance for you to medal.

It's a good strategy.

Father!

Hey, I've got to fry chicken.
The deliveries are backed up.

I'm hanging up.
We'll talk about it later.

Father!

Gosh! he does whatever he wants!
And he hangs up whenever he wants!

Calm down, Kim.

It might be difficult,
but it isn't impossible, right?

Yeah, gaining 7 to 9 pounds
isn't that hard for you.

That's not it...
I'm going to lose my mind.

There's no need
to lose your mind. We'll help you.

Yeah. As your friends,
we'll eat beside you!

That's not what I mean...

Why does it
have to be now?

Seriously!

Don't run,
you'll lose weight!

Kim, wait for us.

My father is always
making decisions for me!

What?

You're going to compete
in the Central Bank Swim Meet?

Why?

It's a small competition,
so it probably won't do you any good.

It'll be good practice.

Well, you're right.

You'll need to compete
in order to improve your start.

You've made
a good decision.

You refused training with Choi Tae-hoon,
so win a medal to make a point.

Come on...That's like Ronaldo
scoring in little league football.

There you are,
being cocky again.

Okay, give it a try.

Yes, understood.

Kim Bok-joo.
She got me sick after all!

Why do I have to
catch a cold now?

Hey, Chubs!

How are you going to
take responsibility?

I caught a cold
because of you!

I've got a swim meet next week, so how
are you taking responsibility for this?

Shut up!
I'm stressed out as it is!

Did something
happen to you?

I don't know.
Things are complicated.

You seemed happy
just yesterday. What is it now?

My coaches want me
to go up a weight class.

Weight class?

Kim Bok-joo,
you're finally a heavyweight?

Wow!

Wait, what's the problem?

I'm in a bind,
with the weight-loss clinic and all...

Hey, that isn't an issue.

You go there to see my brother,
not to actually lose weight.

Unless you're quitting your profession,
you have to do what you've got to do.

I guess you're right.

Hey!

You make it sound so easy
because it's not your problem!

Do you think everything
in this world is that easy?

Someone like you would
know nothing about life.

Great parents, natural talent,
good-looking, girls line up for you...

I'm the idiot for talking about
my problems with you.

I'm leaving,
you show-off!

I should be the one who's angry right now,
but you're the one yelling at me?

Do what you've got to do...
Easy for him to say!

That jerk!
Good-for-nothing...

Hey, Bok-joo.

Why?

I left my training
journal behind.

Oh...

I thought...

Did you have a chance
to think about it?

Well...

It would require
special training right away.

We already
have the plan...

Yes.
I'll give it a try.

Hey, would you?
You want to give it a try?

Head coach.

Bok-joo's going for it.
She's made her decision.

Yeah, Bok-joo!
You really want to give it a try?

You've made
the right choice.

I've told you this already,
but you've got a great chance at this.

Of course!

If not Bok-joo, who else?
Your father is going to be happy.

Let's proceed with
our project starting today.

I'll manage Woon-ki,
so you manage Bok-joo, Coach Choi.

I'm starting to feel
the competition already!

Coach Choi,
are you up for it?

Of course. I'm venomous
when it comes to these things.

I'm scared already.

Bok-joo, I don't think you want to
be bitten by Coach Choi.

One more tray.

Another tray.

Coach, I don't think
I can eat any more...

This is no more than
what you eat on a regular basis.

You need one more.

We were doing fine, but why did
the weight increase all of a sudden.

No, Doctor...I think I haven't
been watching my diet.

There's nothing
wrong with this.

It's my fault...

It's okay. Weight tends to
fluctuate in the beginning.

However, we're making
two changes today.

That's odd...

I'm sure you gained 2 lbs yesterday,
so why did you lose a pound?

Hey, Kim Bok-joo.

Did you use the bathroom
a few times today?

Yes, a little.

Hey, this won't do.
Time to refill.

One large plate
of boiled pork as a snack!

Bok-joo, try harder.

Woon-ki already
gained 2.5 lbs.

No, I'm not there yet.
I still need more muscle mass.

Bok-joo will get there soon.

Hey, Bok-joo.
Eat more of the meat.

Your cold is
lasting too long.

You've been living in the pool
to prepare for the competition,

...so how could you get better?
You can't even take any medication.

But why are you
doing that meet?

I thought beginners
enter that meet to practice?

Hey, you punks.

It's always the lackluster athletes
who always care about useless things.

Watch and learn,
you youngsters.

When I was
a freshmen, I didn't...

Just eat your lunch, man.

Are you guys finished yet?

-Yes, yes...
-We'll get going now.

I'm done too.
I'm finished eating.

Do you have
a competition coming up?

You seem like you've caught a cold.
Your colds tend to last longer.

Wow, you're unrelenting.

You're bordering on being a stalker.
Are you enjoying yourself?

Does it look like I'm enjoying it?
It's tiring, demeaning, and humiliating.

But I'm willing to
grab onto anything right now.

You're the only one
I can grab onto right now.

You're mistaken about that.
I'm not someone you can hold onto.

I'm just me.

Okay.

I'll leave,
so finish your lunch.

You can't even take medication
for your cold, so you need to eat well.

Jung Jun-hyung doesn't seem
very interested in you.

Don't you care
for your reputation?

You're supposed to be
the goddess of this school.

Is this why you keep
turning me down?

It's not too late
to come to me.

I can treat you better
than Jung Jun-hyung.

Get out of my sight.

No!
I said no!

I can't eat all of that.
Go away, Uncle!

No, I don't want to...

Why can't you eat it?

A few drumsticks and some soup,
and you'll be right there.

I thought you'd
tire of chicken,

...so I put in some ginseng
and abalone and cooked it for hours.

I had three trays
of food for lunch!

My stomach has got its limits too,
so you can't keep stuffing me!

Lift it up!
Stand still for a moment!

Bok-joo, it's not going to be easy,
but I need you to work hard.

I think you've got
a fighting chance. I can feel it!

I don't care
what you feel!

I don't think
I could do it!

Just eat it!
I'm about to lose my arms here!

Hold it!
Or carry it on your back!

You're being so loud!
You whiny little...!

I can't put this
on my back!

-Senior, you're here?
-Oh, Coach Choi!

You really didn't have to
prepare anything.

I have pizza for Bok-joo.

Oh really?
Then shall we go inside?

-I'll carry that.
-No, it's okay.

Lifting is my occupation.
Let's go inside.

Hey, Bok-joo.
Let's eat.

Why are they trying to
feed me like swine?

Kim's father is such a great cook!
It tastes perfect!

-The perfect cook!
-I know.

Seeing how full support involves
eating as much as you want,

...weightlifting
isn't a bad sport. Right?

Of course!

The rhythmic gymnasts
are on a diet of bird feed, after all.

Why don't you dig in?
Why are you picking at your food?

Hey, yeah.
Have some more pizza.

Or do you want another drumstick?
You love drumsticks.

I thought you wished
chicken were 4-legged?

I'm sick of it now.
This darn chicken.

I'm about to cry
chicken broth as tears.

I am getting a little full...

Maybe all three of us will end up
in an open-weight category?

Why are you
being so weak?

We food-fighters have
the ultimate wildcard.

We have
Mr. Carbonated Beverage.

Help us,
Mr. Carbonated Beverage!

I've got some change,
so let me go get some...

Hey, stop trying so hard.

You'll lose weight.
Let me do it for you.

Miss Kim Bok-joo, you have an
appointment at 4:30pm tomorrow.

J Weight-loss Clinic.

You have an appointment
at 4:30pm tomorrow, at J Weight-loss...

Hey...

Why are you going to
a weight-loss clinic?

Nan-hee,
let me explain...

Hey, why are you going to
a weight-loss clinic?

You need to gain weight!

What have you
been up to these days?

Nan-hee.

How could that be...?

Good work today.

So that's the guy?
Not Jung Jun-hyung?

Yeah.

And that man is
Jung Jun-hyung's older brother.

Yeah.

So in order to keep seeing that guy,
you paid his expensive fee.

That's why you've been
hiding things,

...and why you lifted
rice bags for Jung Jun-hyung.

That's what you're
telling me right now.

Yeah.

You crazy girl!

I know.

I deserve that.
Yeah, I've lost my mind.

I wouldn't have done this
if I were normal.

I didn't want to do this, but I kept
thinking of him and seeing things...

And then I had no other choice.
I just wanted to see his face again.

I approve.

He's much better than Jung Jun-hyung.
He's like a real man.

He seems sturdy.

Right?
My doctor is charming, right?

Yeah, he seems really
charming and handsome.

And he's a doctor too!

Look at you...

Always acting like
you weren't interested in guys.

You've got
a real eye for men...

But how did you
first meet him?

Was it like Kang Dong-won
in the movies,

...where he'd show up with
an umbrella on a rainy day?

It's not that kind
of story, is it?

Yeah!

Oh no! Really?
Like Kang Dong-won?

He's cool, isn't he?
And good-looking?

Nan-hee wants one too!

-He's mine.
-I envy you.

[Song Shi-ho,
Jujube-ginger extract]

Hey, what do you think you're doing?
Get some rest, would you?

You have a swim meet tomorrow,
and you're still sick. You need rest.

Let me finish this.

Watching this won't
change anything. Hey, rest up.

And dream about me.

Okay, okay. Stop nagging
like you're my mother.

Quit bustling about.
Go to sleep, man.

This is Song Shi-ho.

Could you meet me
without telling Jun-hyung?

I'm sorry. I'm sure you're surprised
that I called you out of the blue.

Here.

What's this?

It's jujube-ginger tea.
Jun-hyung has a meet tomorrow.

If I gave it to him,
he wouldn't take it.

What's that?

It's my burning
love for you.

What's this?
Ginger tea?

Don't ask any questions and drink up.
Drink it like it's medicine.

It's nice.

I feel a lot better now.

Yeah?
That's a relief.

That's why you shouldn't be
so cold any more.

What I'm saying is that if you've got a
frozen heart, you tend to get more colds.

Why do I need to take
a dump all of a sudden?

Make sure you finish that
before I get back.

What's he saying?

And do you know
how sexy his voice is?

It's not too high, or too low.
Just perfect!

A voice that Sleeping Beauty
would hear right when she wakes up.

Really?
I saw him, but I didn't hear his voice.

When he smiles, there are little
wrinkles on the side of his eyes,

...as he reveals his white teeth.
He's so sweet, he makes you melt.

The biggest thing that made me fall
for him! This is important right here!

He's so...

...thoughtful.

I've never met someone
more of a gentleman.

He was born
considerate, you know?

When I'm with the doctor, I feel like
I've become a really pretty woman.

I don't know what you're talking about
because I've never been treated like that.

Anyways, he's perfect.

He's kind, gentle,
dependable...

I can't believe he's related
to Jung Jun-hyung.

He's a real man.

Hey, you make me want to
see him in person.

And then what?

Are you willing to fight me over a guy?
I'm a little cautious of you.

-You always let your instincts run wild.
-Why would I go after your man?

My man...!

Hey!

What are you guys
doing here?

What else?
I peed.

We were on our way out.
Hey, let's get going.

Were you guys
talking about me?

You really shouldn't do that.
You disappeared without even telling me!

That's ridiculous! We've got
nothing bad to say about you!

Of course! Don't be ridiculous
and let's get going.

Bok-joo,
you've only got one patty?

You'll need to eat more to make
the weight. Here, take one of mine.

Thanks, Sun-ok.

Sun-ok, could I get a cup of water?
I think I've got food in my throat.

Hey, here's some water.

Can you slow down?

It went down.

Kim, I like your pace today!
This won't do.

Have another one.

-Are you leaving now?
-Yeah, 6pm appointment.

But you're leaving like that?
Really? Seriously?

Why?
Is it weird?

Yeah, it's weird.

6pm?
I need just 5 minutes.

Okay.
I've done the best I could.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Are you really going?

Yeah.

Okay, let me see.

Try to do well, okay?

Okay, man.
Go back inside.

I should be there with you
in that condition.

But I've got training!

So train harder, man.
You don't swim as well as I do.

That's cold, man.

Okay!

I'll do my best,
so you do the same!

You'd better win that race!

You hot-tempered,
adorable thing.

See you.

Do well, okay?

Focus on the start!

Broiled abalone?
I had abalone with the chicken soup!

That was abalone
from the market.

This is abalone
straight from Wando!

I contacted someone I hadn't talked to
in 10 years to get my hands on this!

So make some time and stop by.
And don't bring your friends with you!

We don't even have enough to feed you.
I only have 30 of them.

Okay.
I'm hanging up now.

Where are you going?

The clinic?

Why do you ask questions
when you know the answer?

I've got a swim meet,
so why don't you wish me luck?

I'm sure you'll do just fine,
you show-off.

I don't wish you luck.
I hope you mess up!

That miserable...!

I'm already stressed as it is,
and she's jinxing me!

You're dead...

Hey!
Do you want to die?

That clown!

You've gained weight again.

Miss Bok-joo, why can't you
look me in the eyes?

I'm sorry, Doctor.
I keep letting you down.

You don't have to apologize to me.
We're trying to help you, after all.

It isn't easy
keeping a diet, is it?

And the people
around you aren't helpful.

Yes.

You shouldn't eat as much at night,
but people like to go out at night.

Many of my patients tell me
they'd rather diet on a deserted island.

I know, right?
I can't abandon my friends either.

We'll pick ourselves back up, and begin
the examination once you're changed.

Yes.

Oh, Jun-hyung has
a swim meet today.

I sent him a message wishing him luck
but he hasn't responded yet.

I'm sure he'll do well.
He's always so confident.

He acts like that,
but he's delicate inside.

He's really wants to
win this swim meet.

Two years ago, he was disqualified
in the nationals for a false start.

His practice times show that
he's up there with the best,

...but since then, he's had trouble with
his start in all his important competitions.

I think the first experience
proved traumatic for Jun-hyung.

What's this?
He's always acting like he's strong.

I didn't know that, and I gave him
a cold and cursed him instead.

Me and my big mouth!

If Jung Jun-hyung doesn't place
it'll feel like it's my fault,

...so please help him do well.
And his trauma?

Please help him to overcome it
so he can unleash his true potential.

Please~

Whenever you feel
the symptoms,

...the best way to avoid it
is to not focus on the symptoms.

If you start to feel nervous,
take yourself to a peaceful place.

You can control your breathing,
or you can count backwards.

Please Jun-hyung,
please...

Attention!

First place is Lee Sang-min
from Dong-ah University.

Second place is
Choi Jae-hyeok from Ahsan City.

Third place is Park Joon-soo
of Kyung-nam Athletics.

Fourth place is Jung Jun-hyung
of Haneul Athetic University.

He's not there.
He didn't place.

That idiot!
Why couldn't he do a little better!

Was he disqualified again?

Jung Jun-hyung,
are you okay?

Stay strong.

Jung Jun-hyung,
you deserved it.

What am I supposed to
say in this situation?

Don't leave any
and drink it all up.

All of it.

If I didn't have a cold,
I would've won that!

How could I be
so unlucky?

That's right. Why didn't you
come by before the competition?

Your mother already had
a remedy prepared for you.

One that wouldn't
qualify as doping.

I know...

I think I underestimated
my opposition.

Forget it.
It's okay, son.

It wasn't an important
competition anyways. Brush it off.

-Did you talk to your brother?
-Yeah, I did.

I'm so tired of him
nagging all the time.

He's like your mini-me,
he worries about everything.

Where are you?

-It's Chubs.
-Chubs?

Who's Chubs?

Right here.
A really amusing friend of mine.

Sounds like
the name of a puppy...

What's going on, Chubs?
You've never texted me before.

Where are you?

At home.

Heading to school now.

He should be here soon.

I thought she wanted to see me
in front of the fountain.

What's going on,
Kim Bok-joo?

What's this?

Here, a toad.

It's not because you were
talking about toads.

I had some paper lying around,
so I decided to fold one.

Who knows, maybe it'll be
a good luck charm?

Wow, you not very good
with your hands.

Look how
wrinkled this looks.

How many tries
did this take you?

Hey, give it back.

You can't
ask for it back.

I'll take it for now.
I don't know if it'll be good luck or not.

Toad, swag~

Stop plagiarizing.

Why?

You misfits
always say that, swag~

When I do it,
it's different, isn't it?

It's fresh
and seems cooler.

What?

You're back to speaking nonsense,
so I guess you're not sick anymore.

Do you feel better?

Yeah.

I'll get better.
I've already taken medication.

I'm sorry for cursing you earlier.
I've been a little sensitive lately.

But you still should've
done better.

I know.

I was too cocky
with my ability.

Hey, don't worry.
Soon, I'm going to hit it big.

Don't ask me for
a hundred signatures later.

By that time,
I'll be in the Olympics.

Yeah, right.

Let's go. We still have some time
before roll-call, so I'll treat you out.

Really?
What are you going to treat me to?

You'll see.
It'll make you strong again.

Bring your mouth
and follow me.

Why are you heading
towards the school?

Wait a minute.

-Hey, do you want a ride?
-Yeah.

No, no, no!

The last time I gave you a ride, I hurt
my back and was bedridden for 3 days!

No, no.

Do you want to die?

No!

Let's ride this thing.
Jung Jun-hyung, hurry!

Hey, Jung Jun-hyung!

I thought
you wanted to ride it!

Hey, I'm going to
throw this away.

Who's your friend?

Say hello to my father.

Hello, sir.

This is...

Ah!

The credit...

Yes, that's me.

-You know him, Father?
-Yeah, from before.

I was here once, with my friends.
I didn't know it was your restaurant.

What's your relationship?

Bok-joo never brought a guy home,
so this feels really interesting.

We're grade-school friends.
He's in our school's swim team.

I owe this guy, so I'm paying him back.
We have lots of abalone, right Father?

Huh?

Abalone.

What...?

All natural abalone.

You told me that you got a lot of
abalone from Wando.

There's plenty, right?

I didn't know you were
my daughter's old classmate.

Enjoy yourself.

These are extremely precious.

Hey, you go on and eat.

No, you go on ahead.
I'm not that hungry.

Go ahead and eat it!
I don't like being indebted.

You need to eat this
so that your cold will go away.

Father!

Huh?

Yeah, eat in peace.
Go right ahead.

Is it good?

Geez...

Wow, it's amazing seeing Bok-joo sitting
there with a guy like that. Am I right?

I had the hardest time
getting my hands on that abalone,

...so why is that weasel
eating all of it?

He may be a weasel, but he has
a very classy handsome face.

To be completely honest, based on looks,
he's way out of Bok-joo's league.

It looks like Bok-joo
is more interested in him.

What's wrong with your eyes?
What's wrong with Bok-joo?

My eyesight is perfect. 20/20 vision.
It couldn't get any better.

Shut up, you fool!

Anyways,
I don't like him.

The creepy way he stares at my daughter,
I don't have a good feeling about this.

Who is?
He's doing that?

In my opinion,
he's the one in more danger.

I can tell that Bok-joo
likes him more than he does.

What are you talking about?

Would she give abalone
to just any friend?

Have you ever seen our Bok-joo
share food with other people before?

It's because
she likes him, that's why.

Hey, where are you
taking me?

Be quiet
and follow me.

It's so pretty.

Isn't my neighborhood pretty?
It's really pretty at night.

It really sparkles.

Yeah.

Real pretty.

But what's the cause
of your start trauma?

What?

The doctor
told me about it.

Is it like anxiety
at the start of the race?

I don't know.

How did you start swimming?
Did you parents get you into it?

No, I liked the water.

When I was younger, I followed my
brother to the pool and learned to swim.

It was comfortable and relaxing for me.
Like something warm was embracing me.

Wow, you're pretty
emotional, aren't you?

So your personality changed
after you started to swim?

I think so.

Yeah, it did.

So I started swimming,

...but after it became a profession
I started to feel unexpected burdens.

I would get wrapped up with records
and start getting cold feet.

I know what you mean.

If winning wasn't such a requirement,
I'd enjoy weightlifting much more.

That darn ranking!

But in many ways,
that's the drive of athletes.

We need to overcome it.

Hey, keep at it.

I'm a great judge of character,
and I can already tell that you'll make it.

There's something
in those eyes of yours!

Do you think you'll
get lost in them.

Yeah,
completely lost in them.

It's so pretty!

Once it gets colder,
we can't come here anymore.

Bok-joo is probably
gaining weight right now.

I know.

Her father called her, so she's
probably having the best chicken soup.

Hey, but watching Bok-joo,
it's not easy gaining weight.

Of course not. Going up
a weight class is much harder.

Bok-joo is having a hard time
gaining the weight...

[Name: Kim Bok-joo]

I don't think I'll have another cold
for at least another year.

That's why everyone
recommends all natural abalone.

Do you feel stronger?

Yeah!
It's running through my veins.

I was wondering
how you got your physique.

We'll share it
and get stronger together!

We can't expect results
in a matter of days.

We need to be physically strong
if we're to fight mentally.

How long are you going to live
that ridiculous double life?

I know.

I'll need to
settle that, soon.

There's the toad!

Do you want to die!

Really! There was a toad
this big over there!

Hey, hey!
It's right there!

I ought to...!

You're taking advantage
of my reactions!

I'm going to knock
your head off. You got that?

You don't believe me?

I saw a toad this big...

Swag?
That's not it.

It goes...
Swag~

Try it again.

Stop laughing and do it.

Yeah, you're back?
You must be tired.

I've made the beds
and cleaned the desks.

Okay, thank you.

Jun-hyung,
are you okay?

Yeah, it wasn't even important,
so you can do better at the next event.

I didn't say anything.
I'm fine.

At least
I didn't get disqualified.

Yeah, man.
I knew you'd overcome it.

It's the little things she does
that makes her cute.

You're supposed to make
skewers with the patties.

Hey, Bok-joo.
Do you want more? I brought a lot.

No, no. Leave it there.
I'll get my own food, but thanks.

Hey, I don't see
the coach anywhere.

She's usually right next to Bok-joo
during breakfast and lunch.

She might be
sleeping in today.

Let's eat and go.
We'll be late for class.

[Father]

Yeah, what is it, Father?
Do you have bone soup for me this time?

Don't say another word
and come home right now.

Father, why so
early in the morning?

Huh?

What are you doing here?
Head Coach, Assistant Coach?

What's this?

Tell me what this is,
you little brat!

[Preview]

You get over here!

You were trying to lose weight,
and now you can't get yourself to eat?

Kim Bok-joo,
don't you see me?

Is Bok-joo home
by any chance?

I've found you, Kim Bok-joo!

Weightlifting Fairy,
Kim Bok-joo!

I had fun today,
thanks to you.

Weightlifters get to have
love lives too.

Coach...

My second gift.
It's my brother's birthday today.

I'm a second year student
at Haneul Sport University.

And I like you, Doctor.
