Wow, she's pretty. She's so pretty.

Your heart only beats for Won Jun-hee again?

I'm sure Ji-yeon will be disappointed.

I think I have indigestion. Excuse me.

Are you okay?

Wow.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

I guess.

Taek, you have all kinds of medicine.

What do you have?

Painkillers, sleeping pills, sleep aids,

medicine for cold and fatigue, digestive medicine, etc.

I have a lot.

It's okay. I've been cutting down lately.

Deok-sun.

Yeah?

What are you doing next Saturday?

Me? Why?

What? What did he get?

Movie tickets.

Taek got them in Jongno.

It took him forever.

Did Deok-sun make him do that? Taek doesn't know how to get to Jongno!

He wants to see a movie with her.

He'll confess to her after the movie. Finally.

Wow.

Choi Taek, 6-dan, is finally making his move!

Why Saturday?

Don't you have a match the day before that?

If you win, you win the tournament, right?

Whether you win or lose, you should take a day off afterwards.

No need to come early. You'll just be playing Go-game.

I can hang out with you.

I have no time for that. I have to study.

You study. I'll just play next to you.

As if!

Regardless, keep Saturday free.

I'll call you after my match.

Okay?

Other members are taking a day off and coming back Sunday,

but he's coming back on Saturday

to see Deok-sun.

What if he loses?

Obviously, he's confident.

When and where again?

I should go sell flowers.

Should we?

Saturday, at 7:00 p.m. at Jongno Picadilly.

Jung-hwan, want to come?

Never!

I'm just joking, you bastard!

I'm just joking too, you bastard!

MARCH 1989

Apparently, the cat isn't the only thing that comes back.

This came back too.

NATIONAL SINGING COMPETITION: DOBONG

-National! -Singing Competition!

Mi-ran.

Should we compete again?

No!

It's way too embarrassing!

No one remembers us.

Who would remember who lost in the preliminaries?

-Yeah, right? -Of course!

Wow. It's already been four or five years.

Back then, I think we weren't all there.

Seriously... why did I do that?

We're not the ones at fault.

It's that thing's fault.

NATIONAL SINGING COMPETITION PRELIMINARIES

FIVE YEARS AGO, 1984

Number 242!

Number 242, please come in!

Wait, you have to take this!

Geez. Sun-young, I'm so nervous.

Can I have a shot too?

That's good.

Oh, my. My arm is shaking.

What do I do? Oh, my God.

Aren't you nervous?

Wow, you're so strong.

That's much better.

Here, have a shot.

She's not nervous.

-Is it Kaoliang liquor? -When did you pack it?

-Use the cup here! -Be careful.

What are you doing?

-Can I have some? -Oh, my.

Number 245!

Number 245, please come in!

Number 247! Number 247!

I don't think one bottle was enough...

Number 257!

Number 257, please come inside!

Do we have The Wild Dogs who will sing "Butterfly Girl"?

Wild Dogs?

Over here!

We're here.

We... we're here.

Il-hwa, let's go.

Over here!

Here... over here!

Oh, my.

Come by the hospital later.

Seong-gyun is fine.

Back surgery is still a big deal.

It's a relief, really.

Relief?

Why his back, of all places?

Grab some soju on your way.

Okay.

Mi-ran, cheer up!

Something good is bound to happen soon!

Sure...

The Jonghap Stock Exchange has finally exceeded 1,000 points.

The JSE, which was founded in 1980, and started at 100 points

has exceeded 100 points in nine years and three months.

The JSE has risen 15.87 points since yesterday

and closed at 1,000.31 points today.

As a result, this has ushered in an age of high stock prices.

Daewoo Stock Firm shares have risen to 2,000 won per share since yesterday.

Koryo Industries' shares are up to 1,300 won

and Lucky's stocks have risen to 1,000 won per share.

The only companies whose shares have not risen exponentially

are companies dealing with nonmetallic minerals.

Geez.

I heard that even the dogs over on Yeouido's Wall Street are walking

around with 100,000 won bills in their jaws.

The stock prices are crazy these days.

They've gone up so much!

Can I have the crackers?

I guess your diet isn't restricted.

Nope. Walking is a pain,

but I can eat whatever I want.

Shouldn't we all buy some stocks?

Mr. Sung,

should I buy some stocks? What do you think?

I wanted to ask you too.

I was thinking of investing some money...

Yes, good idea!

Please, do it!

You're going to be buried with all that money.

You can invest all you want.

All you do is save.

Would it be safe?

I'm scared.

Of course it's okay!

My friend pointed out three good ones.

If we keep them for 20-30 years,

we can have our kids' weddings at a hotel.

We can even send our grandchildren overseas to study!

Which ones are they?

-Oh, they are... -No, no.

That's not right.

The time to buy stocks is over right now.

The share prices have gone up way too much.

How can it break 1,000 points?

What that means is

you buy them at shoulder prices to sell them at knee-level amounts!

So stock prices had head, shoulders, knees...

Is that right?

Why didn't you get brain surgery while they were at it?

But everyone with some money invests in stocks.

Mr. Choi,

just invest your money elsewhere.

Trust me.

My friend told me... what were they?

Samsung Electric, Hanmi Pharmaceuticals,

and Amore Pacific.

He said we have to buy those stocks.

How much are their shares?

I saw them in the newspaper today. They were about 20,000 to 30,000 won.

Oh, my... That's so expensive.

They've gone up a lot.

Exactly. Prices have risen way too much!

I'm telling you, they're done for.

They can't possibly go up any more!

So, just put your money in the bank.

I'll get you an account with a 17 percent interest rate.

Just listen to me. Okay?

Put it in the bank.

Okay. Thank you.

-Where? -The bank.

-Where? -The bank.

Okay.

Go home now.

I'll get an earful if my dad sees us.

I'll call you.

Don't forget.

If it only rings twice, it's me.

Twice, yes.

Then, I'll see you next Monday, on your birthday.

I know that you have a school anniversary and don't have school.

How did you know my birthday?

By the powers of interest.

What?

One day, I developed this strange power that lets me read people's minds.

When you're really in love,

you develop supernatural powers!
