Splash Splash LOVE Episode 1

Jang Dan Bi!

Keep going. What is three times six?

What's three times six?

You have the SATs in two days. What are you going to do?

Why are you carrying around your brain? It's heavy, isn't it?

Jang Dan Bi!

Have you memorized the times table? Can you do it?

How do you think you can solve this, to come up with this value?

Three.

Two.

One.

Yes!

What's with this rain?

Aigoo, my leg.

Pythagoras' identity is...

It's Kim Young Chul. - It's comedian Kim Young Chul!

Aigoo... That's no use.

If you solved math problems with that ability,

Seoul University would have scouted you already.

Your dad was also having problems with math. You got his genes, all right.

What's the use of bearing you with a perfectly functioning body?

Ah, you're always watching historical dramas! Gross!

Since you missed early entry, the SAT is all that is left. Have you decided on a major?

Since you resemble me, you should be smart. Why aren't you trying?

I wonder what you can do to make a living without me.

I can eat well and live well alone, so don't worry.

You would live only watching TV and your phone.

Ah, Mom, you're always watching historical dramas, yourself!

You won't leave me alone!

Exactly what is it that you like?

If you don't have anything you like, perhaps there is something you're good at!

If I was born in that time period, I probably wouldn't have done math. - Hey, where are you going?

You should tell me where you're going, do you even have a dream?

Hey, Jang Dan Bi!

Shut up! Shut up!

Shut up!

Shut up and listen to me!

I'm going crazy because there's not enough time, but even if there's more time, it's not going to change anything.

I wish I could disappear.

It would be nice.

Get into a S.K.Y. university (Korea's Ivy League) and pursue your dream and mine as well.

Shut up. Would they stay still if I told them that I'm going to art school?

They won't even let me eat this.

Hey, and if you're unlucky on SAT day, isn't it over?

Your life is ruined.

How can a person's life depend on just one day?

If I go to a random university, would I get hired in my next life?

Why was I born like this? So useless...

Hey! Is there a hole in your mouth?

I can say I had a nosebleed.

Why don't I ever get nosebleeds?

Hey, my dad's here.

I'm going.

Finally, the 2016 National College Scholastic Aptitude Test day is here.

In the capital area, heavy rain is expected.

Reporter Kang Hee Jin will tell you about the situation of the SAT day morning.

Hey! Dan Bi! Dan Bi!

Hey, hey!

Hey! Dan Bi!

What is this? - I'm eating this with So Heon. It isn't like you care, anyway.

You know that if you ruin the SATs today, there is no hope.

Just try your best. Okay?

There wasn't a time when I didn't try my best.

This wench. Today is the last day I'm serving you!

It is not like you served me anything.

My daughter, you can do it! Fighting!

You can do a good job! Fighting! Fighting!

Classical Literature

Thank you.

My umbrella?

Perfect score in the SAT Pass the university entrance exam

If not today, there is no hope for life

Pass the test

If you're unlucky on the SAT day, isn't it all over anyway?

You know that if you flunk the SATs today, there is no hope.

2016 SATs Testing Session

Aren't you coming?

Please make me disappear.

Please, just this one time.

Many lives have been lost to the drought.

And everyone has been looking to the sky

wishing for rain to quench their thirst.

We will pay for the King's lack of virtue by burning his robes.

Please forgive him by taking all the fault transferred to his gown and grant us rain.

Powerful demon god.

Powerful demon god!

Please grant us rain.

Please grant us rain.

I told you that it wasn't going to work...

From now on, there will be no rituals for the rain.

Dismiss yourselves.

It is coming.

The heaven nymph (rain) is coming.

Finally, after the three year drought, there will be rain in Joseon!

Are you filming a historical drama?

My phone.

Are you a human or a goblin? Who are you?

M-me?

I'm just a high school senior. (Pronounced as "gosam")

Eunuch? (Pronounced as "gosam")

The word for a high school senior and a eunuch is pronounced the same, as "gosam"

Chief of Eunuchs, is he also a eunuch?

One out of two eunuchs became mad because of the shock and was disqualified,

and it is not uncommon for them to break into the palace out of a grudge.

Teacher! Teacher, where is this? - Get up there!

What is this all of a sudden—

Blood... Real swords?

Stop it. That is the gift sent to Joseon by the Heavens.

He will save us from the drought in Joseon!

Heaven nymph, please stop the drought.

J-Joseon?

The Heavens, please let rain fall.

Please let rain fall!

Me?

The Heavens, please let rain fall.

Ah, I really hate historical dramas.

Let the rain fall!

Let that happen!

Now that I am here, rain will fall.

Please let rain fall!

Please let rain fall!

He disappeared?

Seriously... What's with this?

This way!

Find him! He ran that way!

Over there!

Let's go.

His Majesty the King is entering!

I will pluck out the eyes and execute the eunuch who insulted me.

I will not only rely on superstition for the important things of Joseon.

From now on, math and science will be used to solve problems.

I'm afraid, Your Majesty,

that math is a trick rather than a science.

It is against our tradition to use math.

Your Majesty.

How could you know the plan of nature from arithmetics?

Please reconsider. - Please reconsider.

According to the Sung Soo Chung (weather department) , the reason behind this drought

is that the sky is mad because the father of the country is not producing his heir.

So please, spend the night with your Queen on the chosen day.

Please reconsider. - Please reconsider.

Please...

Drought and plague? It is as if the sky (God) is helping us to turn the King into a puppet.

What a relief it is that no rain fell...

What have you been eating?

It's a nosebleed...

You should take care of yourself, especially as the day for intimacy is soon.

Please keep in mind that you need to give birth to a child.

You need to secure your position.

If you don't have a dream, take my dream instead,

my dream of becoming the King of this nation.

You can't even solve Pythagoras' theorem.

There is no one who is good at arithmetics?

I apologize, Your Majesty.

We should try harder not to get played by those old men.

I need to see their intellect with my own eyes.

You know best the real reason why I need arithmetic.

Your Majesty.

How rude! How dare the intern talk to the King.

The water that was gathered is going bad, and the valleys have become dry.

No life can be found in Joseon.

Joseon. The Joseon from history?

It's awesome.

What is this? Then can I return when it rains again?

The last time rain fell was now three years ago.

Three years?

Child from the Heavens?

Unfortunately, I don't believe in things I can't see.

Presumably,

if I don't like what my eyes see,

I need to know the logic and principle of it, no matter how strange it is.

Your topknot is unique, and your clothes are peculiar... Are you from Ming?

Huh?

Oh, my phone...

The rain in this field.

Exactly what is this?

Ah, I think you misunderstood, but I'm just a high school senior.

I think I came from the future through the rain...

The future?

I know it sounds absurd,

but this is not rain, but it's an app that tells you the weather.

You can know the weather from this thing?

What?

I seriously hope it's not broken.

Where did it go, the rain that was falling here? - I turned it off, so the battery won't go out.

Talk in a way that I can understand!

How about you cut one of his arms off?

Ah, that's right.

Ah! Wait! This is a real sword! Wait, wait!

I-I'm from the future! I know everything! Ask me anything! I-I'm good at history!

J-Joseon? TaeJeongTaeSeMunDanSe? (acronym for the names of the Kings of Joseon) Ah, Teacher!

I am a mathematician, arithmetics!

Really? - Yes!

Well... Yes!

The sum of the short leg and the long leg is 7, and the difference between the hypotenuse and the short leg leg is 2.

I will give you two days to find the lengths of the short leg, long leg, and hypotenuse.

What's this? I can't read this...
