High Class (Haikeullasseu / 하이클래스)

(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)

I loved you then. And I still do.

I will continue to love you.

My love will never fade away.

I love you.

Mom, what's wrong? Are you all right?

No. It's nothing.

I must have dozed off for a bit.

Look over there.

What? Mom, look over there.

Yi Chan, do you like it here?

I'm super excited!

Mom, the wind keeps tickling me.

My gosh. Is this the school?

Yes, it is.

- Mom, this school looks amazing. - Right?

It's raining.

Jeju Island has fickle weather.

- Doesn't it? - Yes.

It must be this way.

All the way up to here.

My gosh.

- It looks fun. - Yes.

Wow, isn't this cool?

They teach ballet too.

Can you do this too?

Yes. Of course, I can.

Right, so today, we're going to be writing...

our English names on our ID blocks,

and I'd like you to be very, very careful.

So make sure you get it right in the blocks...

that we have allocated for you.

Please take a very, very thin pen...

and write your English name.

Wow. Look at this.

- There are so many. - Yes.

(- Impressive? - Yes.)

(- Are you here for the interview? - Yes.)

(Well, the parent can wait downstairs in the lobby,)

(and the parent interviews will proceed in order.)

(- Okay. - And the student can follow me.)

Go on.

See you later, Mom.

I'll wait downstairs. Good luck.

- Do your best. - Okay.

The key is in the ignition.

Ms. Cha Do Young?

You want an autograph?

Give me a paper and pen.

No. You can't park your car here. Take it to the underground parking.

Let's go.

I knew this would happen.

Be quiet.

You're such an embarrassment.

Let's go.

It's raining. Shouldn't you get the top out?

No. We're wearing hats, aren't we?

Let's go.

- It's Cha Do Young. - Right?

Is she here for the interview?

She's pretty.

Oh, my gosh.

What lovely skin.

What, am I the first one here?

Isn't that Daesang Group's Nam Ji Sun?

(- Are you ready, June? - Of course. Don't worry.)

(- Escort her. - Okay. Shall we?)

Hey, Ji Sun. You're here.

Your outfit... Are you making a statement?

I just wanted to make a point.

It's a piece from this year's Spring-Summer season.

I got it first by special free order from the Cheongdam main branch.

It's the kids' interview, not your audition.

Why do you want to gain attention?

I know that.

But the interview is as good as over in the first ten seconds.

I need a different edge...

to get noticed.

Your first kid studies here, so you can pretty much relax.

You wouldn't know the pressure.

I can't relax.

The sibling advantage doesn't guarantee a place.

It's just a few extra points.

Let's not cause too big a fuss about the kids' schools.

Oh, sure. I'm sure that's what you think, Ms. Nam Ji Sun.

That darn sib-something advantage.

I'm so jealous you have it.

Si Woo has a US passport, so that's a plus too.

Don't even mention it.

If you see what he's like, he'll lose all his extra points.

Oh, my. Jun Hee's mom?

Fancy meeting you here.

Did your kids...

apply for a spot too? I didn't know.

I heard your husband opened another hospital here. Was this why?

Your second kid will go here too?

Yes.

As you must all agree, there's no better option.

We can't send the kids abroad already.

- You're right. - Yeah, that's right.

By the way...

Say hello. I mentioned them before.

Her husband is KA Media's chairman, and hers is Assemblyman...

My gosh.

Hello. I heard a lot about you.

I'm Cha Do Young, Kwak Si Woo's mom.

- Oh, I see. - Nice to meet you.

Hello.

Oh, hello.

Did your kid attend Gyeongnam Elementary?

No, Jeongmyeong Elementary School.

Oh, my mistake. I thought you looked familiar.

I see.

Isn't Jeongmyeong the public school in Daechi-dong?

Yes, it is.

I heard the moms there are hardcore.

Ji Sun, make me a black coffee.

So, did you live abroad as well?

The US?

No. We lived in Korea all our lives.

I wish you good luck.

Thank you.

All right.

(If you're all here, we'll start the parent interviews...)

Oh. Celebrity.

Thank you.

Because I'm an actress,

I'm pretty well-known.

I just couldn't send my kid...

to an ordinary public school.

They talk nonsense and way too much.

But here, everyone is on a pretty similar level,

and you guarantee privacy.

You're done?

I don't want to force my kid to study.

It's not like he can be forced.

Anyway, I hope he finds his interest here,

and gets along well with friends.

He can go abroad later.

All he needs to do is inherit his dad's business.

It's not like the top three Korean universities are that great.

Yes. The guy who sells fried chicken in our mall...

went to Seoul National University.

(You yourself are in hotel management. Very good.)

(Her hobbies include ice hockey, horseback riding, and violin.)

As you well know,

I'm the mother of G9 student president Lee Jun Mo.

I'm also parents' representative of the PTA.

who is the president of student council.

I'm also the parents' representative for the PTA.

Your child is really exceptionally bright and clever.

Truly outstanding.

She just tries a little harder, that's all.

Why are you applying for this school?

Well...

Since her big brother goes here,

it was only natural that she thought of going here as well.

Above all else, I thought it would be good...

for both my children and myself if they attend the same school.

It's always the best to do what comes naturally.

(No. It's good to go with the flow. That's what I meant.)

(When my husband went to Stanford University for his MBA...)

Never mind. I'll just speak in Korean.

We lived in Palo Alto until he finished kindergarten.

Just as I majored in music,

my son Noah is especially talented in music,

more specifically in classical music.

So I plan to create a portfolio for him.

Although the election is coming up,

he is very involved when it comes to our child's education.

They don't have to be a diamond among stones.

But what parent wants their child to be rubble?

All parents feel the same.

Also, since everyone at the school is from the upper class,

all of the friends will be from similar backgrounds.

(But I'm between jobs for personal reasons at the moment.)

I really didn't want to say this.

Given what happened with your family...

And I know things have been tough,

but Yi Chan is causing many problems at the school.

I'm very sorry.

We are exceptionally passionate about education,

even among schools in Gangnam. You know that.

Even with this incident with Se Jun...

This is his medical report.

I sent you an itemized bill, so you should look through it.

We're going to sue, just so you know.

I'm sure you know that my husband is a prosecutor.

And you're in law yourself.

So we should take it to court.

Please don't do this. They're still kids.

Please be...

If a child does something wrong, the parent should pay for it.

Se Jun got a cast this big on this tiny arm.
