The Temperature of Language: Our Nineteen (Eoneoeui Ondo: Urieui Yeolahob / 언어의 온도: 우리의 열아홉)

Hey.

What are you doing?

You must be tired. Get ready for bed.

You're so naive.

I didn't ask you to decide what you want to become.

I need something to write on your profile!

You need to pretend you know what you want to be even if you don't.

You need to pretend you are desperate even if you're not.

This is how it works.

Everyone else is shaping their profile

to the major they want.

What is this?

You've written different jobs

every year!

There are no signs at a life crossroads.

I don't know what I want to do

but should pretend I do to go to university.

Adults want us

to be full of hopes and dreams.

By the way, where's Chansol?

Please join us.

I've brought the top of the class.

Eunbin! Come and have a seat.

Why isn't he coming in?

Hi.

Hi.

Have a seat.

Mom, two more Tteokbokki please.

Are you sure you want to study Physical Education?

Yes, I do.

But I need better grades.

I'll crash the finals.

Oh~ Hope you do!

You want to study business management, right?

Yes, it's better for the law school.

Wow. It's another level.

You have everything planned.

What about you, Eunbin?

I'm going to apply for Public Administration or Foreign Policy.

What can you do after studying it?

I can be a public servant or get a job at a public corporation.

Ew. You have to take an exam.

Aren't you tired of exams?

You also have to sit an exam

to become a teacher.

Huh?

What?

Oh my god.

Ask Yuri if you don't know.

But I'm not sure I can make it.

I'm worried.

But you've got a great record of extra curricular activities.

What about you, Ganguk?

You did a great job with design last time.

I'm not going to go to university.

Really?

Are you not going to go to university?

I don't think I should.

I have something else I want to do.

What is it?

Well...

I'll tell you later.

Wow.

So cool.

Everyone knows what you want to do.

I now know why the teacher was so upset.

This is on the house.

Jinah, don't you have your dream job?

You should these days.

Please don't!

It looks so good.

Bon appetit.

- Thanks. - Of course.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Bye.

See you tomorrow.

See you later.

Ahh...

Aren't you embarrassed?

I can't even bring your name to any conversation

We're spending almost 10 million won a month

on consulting and everything.

And you're number two?

Can I change my major

if I become the top of the class?

Not again.

Do you want to see me go mad?

Aren't you sorry for me and your dad?

I'm sorry.

Is it okay to work longer hours?

I love it because you do such a great job.

I asked for it.

I should thank you.

Do you still write this stuff?

Public servant?

This used to be a dream job 15 years ago.

Aren't kids these days different?

They want to be YouTubers and all that.

Ah...

I like a stable job.

Ganguk.

Yes.

You must go to university if you want to become anything in Korea.

You see students dropping out on TV.

And that's their pride talking.

Wait for 10 years.

They'll regret it to death.

I don't understand.

What does going to university have to do with becoming anything?

Aren't you just trying to increase university admission rates?

What?

Also, when students drop out of school, it's not their pride talking.

They do it because they have a dream.

Where did you learn to talk back like that?

If you're done.

Hey!

You...

Oh my god.

Isn't this you?

Hey.

The ring! It's him!

This is sick. He's Shin Ganguk!

- Let's look at another clip. - Oh my god.

So

this is him.

Wow~ It's so cool.

What's the key to solving a grammar question?

I told you this 100 times.

Finding a position.

Correct.

You should see

if this should go here

or there.

So, if you look at question number two...

I feel anxious now.

Everyone is going somewhere.

But I don't know where I should go.

Where's mom?

Taking out the garbage.

It's late. Where are you going?

Drink in moderation. Mom's worried.

Mind your own business.

Will you be able to go to university in Seoul?

What?

Can't you see I'm doing my best?

Sure. Good work.

Love you, sis.

Hey!

Seriously.

Is she really my sister?

I'm glad you're here.

Could you help me wash dishes?

It was so busy today.

Why didn't you ask Jinseol?

She was here until now.

Could you just help me?

Let's wrap it up and go home.

I'm a high school senior.

You should fill this out and submit.

What are you going to write?

I don't know. I don't have a dream.

What are you talking about?

I was poor

and only boys in my family were educated.

But I'll let my daughters do whatever they want.

So just tell me what it is.

I really don't have a dream.

Look at Jinseol.

She wanted to be a psychologist since she was young.

The whole neighborhood knows her dream.

And she now attends SNU to study psychology.

How come I gave a birth to her?

I am so proud of her.

Mom.

Am I same as Jinseol?

Jinseol is called as a legend in my school.

Not Jinseol, but a legend. (a Korean pun)

How am I called?

I am just a baby sister of the legend.

Do you know how I feel when compared with Jinseol all the time?

That's not what I meant.

Look.

You let Jinseol go have fun.

But you make me wash the dishes.

Why?

You are proud of Jinseol,

but me?

Am I not your child as I am not good at study?

Jinah...

I...

I don't like people asking me about my dreams.

You don't know how stressful it is, do you?

You don't care about me, anyway.

What am I doing?

I can't go back.

Having no signs might mean that,

if I took a wrong path,

it could be the path towards misfortune.

Why didn't I know this?
