My Lovely Boxer (순정복서)

So I just have one match left, right?

That's it, right?

US debut, perhaps?

The US?

Just one more match, and then I can retire.

Why are you all quiet?

You're making me nervous.

To tell you the truth, it would be a waste if she only stayed in Korea.

She could compete in the US...

to go after the titles at the four major sanctioning bodies.

Hey!

That's pretty cool.

Gosh, Korean boxing will be fun to watch. It's been a while, you know.

Stop!

Hey, stop it.

("Never make predictions, especially about the future." By Casey Stengel)

My, it smells amazing.

I think water got into my phone.

It won't turn on.

Oh, no.

You can't fix a water-damaged phone.

Go downtown tomorrow and get a new phone.

What's the rush?

Wait until you're back in Seoul. I'll buy you a new phone.

I never asked you to buy me a new phone.

Everything's on this phone.

The pictures of me and Jae Min and the texts from him.

If they were that important to you, you should've backed them up.

Says the person who suddenly pushed me into the sea.

Come on. You had fun too.

Eat up.

Gosh. I'm the only one having chicken again?

I see chickens even in my dreams.

This is way better than having to go on an extreme diet...

just before the weigh-in.

Try it.

Come on. Just try it.

It's good, isn't it?

- Look, she likes it. - As if.

It's just a little better than boiled chicken.

Eat up.

Did you have some delicious food?

You're in a beach town.

It doesn't matter.

I ate chicken.

It was precisely measured.

I only had five pieces of sashimi.

Gosh, that's so mean.

You know what?

He even brought a scale.

He's ridiculously strict.

Do you know what people call him?

Son of a witch. Jerk.

Gosh!

I can't believe you've been on the phone for over an hour.

We were just about to hang up.

Right?

That's right.

I've said this to you before.

She's no longer an ordinary woman. She is a professional boxer.

Refrain from making long phone calls at night.

Okay, we heard you. Stop nagging, will you?

I'm only saying these things...

because he doesn't seem to know who you are.

You still don't fully understand how important it is for an athlete...

to have a regular routine, do you?

It's time you learned these things.

Yes, I'll learn.

However, isn't the athlete's mental well-being as important as...

having a regular routine?

Helping her feel at ease.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm ending this call.

What? Mister!

Wait, let me say good night...

You're so mean.

Like I said, we were about to hang up.

Go to bed now, or you'll lose muscle mass.

Gosh, seriously.

Oh, I was just about to head inside.

You're having another beer?

Yes.

Go inside and comfort her so she can get some sleep.

What did you do this time?

All right.

And see if you can find a boxing gym in the area.

- Let's rent it for a few days. - Okay.

Why did you come out? Go inside and sleep.

I'm upset because of someone.

I'll go back inside in ten minutes.

Set timer for ten minutes.

You have to go back inside the moment you hear the alarm.

Okay.

You're head over heels for the assistant director.

Don't let yourself fall too hard,

although I know it's not easy.

Mister.

I bet you've never failed at anything in life.

Me?

That is complete nonsense.

You're always brimming with confidence.

The day when you first came to see me too.

Don't waste your time talking to everyone who comes here.

Only talk to me.

Because I'm the best.

That day, I thought you were obnoxious but envied you at the same time.

I thought, "I'm a coward, so everything makes me nervous,"

"but he's different."

Do you know why I quit baseball?

Wasn't it because of your injury?

Every athlete gets injured.

My school was known for its baseball team.

I know. Yujin High School.

You and Kim Hee Won were batteries.

I was the main catcher...

only for a short while when Hee Won was in 12th grade.

I was a mediocre player.

- Gosh, he's great. - He's better than Tae Young.

He's really good.

- After Hee Won graduated, - Gosh, that's nice.

I had no doubt that I would be the main catcher.

But my junior outperformed me.

I had no chance of getting drafted.

When getting into college became uncertain for me,

I suddenly got scared.

So I ran away...

because I didn't want to feel like a loser.

"Fine. Let's see."

"Do you think you can even pass..."

"the preliminary round at the national championship without me?"

I was so spiteful and cursed them.

So what happened?

They won.

Two years in a row at Bonghwangdaeki Baseball Championship.

I didn't get into any colleges.

With the money my mom earned by selling fruits,

I signed up for an academy for CSAT re-takers.

When you keep trying out for something you're not talented in,

you face a series of failures like me.

So think about how lucky you are.

You were born with a talent for boxing.

Whether you liked it or not,

you mastered the basics as a kid.

And you have me, the best agent.

Gosh, look at you bragging again.

Let me ask you something.

There really isn't anything you want to try out?

Not at all.

Don't you want the champion belt?

The belt...

is too big and heavy.

Then what are you interested in?

There must be something you want to do, though.

There is.

What is it?

Gosh.

You don't need to know that.

Gosh, what is it?

You don't need to know that. Why do you keep asking?

What on earth is it? You're making me more curious now.

Don't laugh at it then.

Of course, not.

Kissing.

This is why!

I told you not to ask me that.

You're so clueless sometimes.

I told you I could run by myself.

Don't you think I improved?

You've been running for a month now.

Even the kids from Hodong Kindergarten...

can run like you with some practice.

Gosh.

What about this?

If you want me to compliment you, learn how to box properly.

Sir, 200 dollars a month is all you need to invest.

Okay.

Hey, let's go downtown after our breakfast.

I'll buy you a new phone.

Forget it.

I'll buy it myself.

Gosh, you and your pride.

I offered to buy it for you. Just accept it.

Don't criticize me for my gesture. You did that when I bought you clothes.

Darn it.

I won't fall for that twice.

You...

What's gotten into them?

Hey, slow down!

Wait up, Ah Reum.

What is it?

Let's slow down.

Gosh.

Must you make it obvious that you're old?

Hey! I'm not old!

Right. I'm old. I'm too old to be doing this.

So you'd better show me respect.

- Okay, ma'am. - Hey.

I'll get going first. I don't want my body to cool down.

- See you at the gym later. - Okay.

Excuse me.
