(My Lovely Boxer)
("Boxing is real easy. Life is much harder." By Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr)
Are you telling me to deliberately lose a match?
Then would this misery be over? Is that it?
Lose, then you'll find out.
You've never once lost.
What if it doesn't end even after I lose?
Then what will you do?
I...
I will end it for you.
You'll do something I couldn't do myself?
Who do you think you are? Mister.
Do you know me?
Do you know why I started boxing?
Do you know what I've been through?
Do you know why I had to hide?
You know nothing.
You know nothing about me.
You're right. I don't know.
I know nothing.
So help me find out.
How did you get into boxing?
What have you been through?
Why did you quit boxing?
Why have you been hiding?
Let me find out.
Three months would do.
I want to learn more about you, so give me three months to do just that.
I'll learn. All of it.
Then let's run away together.
From the ring.
Trust me.
I'll make it happen, no matter what.
(Episode 3)
Here.
You can keep it. I don't need it back.
It's not used.
You saw me rip the paper seal just now.
Yes, I know.
I have eyes too.
Why me?
Why me, of all people?
There are other boxers too.
Let's just say the timing worked out.
"Timing?"
I needed a boxer who'd be willing to deliberately lose,
and you needed an opportunity to leave boxing for good.
And we met...
at the perfect timing.
You're lying.
Fine. To tell you the truth,
I did consider other boxers too.
Although I ended up coming to you.
But why me?
Because you won't ask questions.
Look, even now.
You're not asking me why I need someone...
to deliberately lose the fight.
And you're not asking me for money in return for losing the match.
See?
That's what you're after. Money.
Gosh, what are you doing?
You shouldn't catch a cold.
As of today, you're my precious boxer.
Stop! I told you to stop.
Why am I your "precious boxer?"
I haven't even signed a contract with you.
But you will.
Why do you keep talking so casually to me? I'm offended.
You can talk casually too.
It's fine. I don't care about such formalities.
- I don't want to. - Why not?
I don't want people to think we're close.
I'll think about it.
You said you wanted me to lose the match.
I'll give it some thought.
If I give up,
do you think this misery will end?
Even if I leave you alone, someone else will come.
If that person leaves, someone else will show up.
After that, someone else will come for you.
Boxing is your fate. You can never run away from it.
Where do you want to go?
I'll get you there.
Three months would do.
I want to learn more about you, so give me three months to do just that.
(Kim Tae Young)
Hello.
"A son of a witch."
"A scumbag."
"An exploiter."
"The undertaker."
(- Don't talk about him here. - His name still enrages me.)
So many athletes in this anonymous group chatroom...
are badmouthing you.
What will you do with this?
An anonymous group chatroom?
Hey, why join a stupid chatroom like that?
I need to do some digging on you too.
You want to work with me.
People are calling you all sorts of names, by the way.
So what? What's your point?
Can I...
really trust you?
Look at you getting all quiet.
You're the one who found me in hiding.
And you made all kinds of threats too.
Hey, why are you so impatient? Goodness.
So just answer me.
Can I really trust you?
To you, this is just about money. But to me,
it's about my life.
My son's sick, you scumbag!
One injection is all it takes,
but the cure costs 500,000 dollars per eye.
Why take responsibility for what you didn't do?
Because I'm his agent.
Either pay us back or make the game happen within three months.
But you'd better leave...
my mom alone.
Same here.
My life depends on this too.
Okay.
I'll call you again after I think about it a bit more.
Hey, why...
Why is it taking so long to decide?
Didn't you say your life depended on this?
If you don't like that, forget it.
When will you give me an answer?
How would I know that?
Don't show up in front of me until I contact you.
You annoy me.
("Youth Documentary: Genius Boxer Lee Kwon Sook")
(Teachers at Hodong Kindergarten)
(Dreamboat, Assistant Director Han Jae Min)
Yu Ri.
Yes?
There's ash on your cheek.
You must be a lot like her.
She must've been pretty too.
(Superwoman, Assistant Teacher Lee Yu Ri)
(Ms. Yu Ri, thank you. I love you.)
I was so shocked to see her here this morning.
I hope the reporters don't barge in again.
She's inconveniencing everyone here.
Hey, what are you doing there, blocking the path?
Are you ready for your classes?
I heard you resigned.
I'm really sad that you're leaving. And I'm sorry too.
Why are you sorry? I'm the one who should apologize.
You've done a great job here as a teacher, Yu Ri.
I hope you will be happy wherever you end up next.
You'll come by from time to time, right?
- Yes. - Okay.
Make sure to visit us.
Yu Ri.
You didn't have to water them before you left.
Why did you insist on watering them?
It's my last day here.
I should say goodbye before I go.
The flowers don't know anything. It's not like they have brains.
They know everything.
They're really assertive. They're no joke.
Really?
Gosh, these are some scary flowers.
Don't fall for handsome faces.
You won't be a stranger because you quit your job, right?
You should come by from time to time.
- Okay? - Yes.
Gosh. Now that you're leaving,
I'm really sad.
Right.
Will you start boxing again?
No. I haven't made any decisions yet.
Gosh, why not? Everyone said you were a gifted boxer.
You can't let your talent go to waste like that. That'd be a pity.
Well, if you happen to go back and end up with a boxing match,
call me.
Okay.
Mr. Han.
Is there anything you want to say?
If...
I come back here after three months,
will you take me back?
After three months?
Yes.
I can come back...
after three months.
I see.
Is this a work-related question? Or is it a personal question?
Both...
if you don't mind.
Then...
I should answer it carefully.
Well,
to be honest,
boxing isn't exactly my kind of sport.
You get punched, throw punches, and bleed.
Boxing looks quite primitive. You know?
I don't mind having a colleague who boxes.
But I don't think I can date...
a woman who boxes.
Well,
did that answer your question?
Yes.
I hope you're not upset.
No.
I feel bad for saying so.
But still. You should come by sometimes.
You know, to look at flowers.
Okay.
(Year 2017)
Do I...
just stand here?
I don't get to come to school that often.
("Youth Documentary: Genius Boxer Lee Kwon Sook")
I come to school when there's a break between matches.
("Youth Documentary: Genius Boxer Lee Kwon Sook")
To me, the boxing gym is my school,
my home, and my playground.
Friends?
Well,
I rarely see other kids.
But even when we run into each other in our classroom,
our conversation stops after we say a few things to each other.
We don't have that much in common.
And our worlds are different too.
I trained her...
as if I would train an animal.
I told her only weak people lost...
and she couldn't lose.
Make a fist.
Unclench it.
Boxing is all about retaliation.
Let's say your opponent killed your puppy.
Then you must do the same and kill her puppy.
No.
You should beat up its mother until she's breathless.
Kwon Sook.
That's boxing.
Hold this.
Hook.
Punch me.
Smash me!
If you can't kill me, you die.
Why didn't you go for it?
Why did you pause?
Don't you ever get angry?
Do you always give in?
Did you hurt your fists?
Why do you stop at that?
For fear you'll hurt me?
Would you rather hurt me or get hurt yourself?
I asked a question. Answer me!
I don't want either to get hurt.
What? What did you say?
"Either?" Can you say that in the ring?
Then you can die.
If not me, it'll be you.
It only ends when one dies.
That's boxing.
Training...
It's what I do every day, so it's not tiring at all.
(Lee Kwon Sook, Age 18, Team Korea boxer)
I must train hard to win gold at the championship.
I really want to win the gold medal and give it to my mom.
Stay sharp. Play!
Get back up.
Get up and come here!
Punch me with all you've got.
Am I your dad?
- No. - Then what?
- Am I your coach? - No.
Then what?
What am I?
- You're my enemy. - So what, then?
And you punch me like that?
Listen up.
I just killed your dog.
Okay?
That's all for today.
Turn that off.
(The guy)
(Missed calls, Unread messages)
Ms. Lee. Lee Kwon Sook!
Are you in there?
Lee Kwon Sook! Ms. Lee!
What the heck?
What are you doing at my door?
You're so noisy.
Were you here all along?
Yes, why? Is there a problem?
I...
Do you know how many times I called?
I went to the kindergarten and looked for you everywhere.
I was going to go to the cops if I couldn't reach you today.
Did I ask you to look for me?
I told you to stay away until I called.
Where are you going?
I'm low on sugar.
- What? - My blood sugar is low.
It's all your fault.
There are reporters by the main road.
Follow me.
Each one has 247 calories.
Do you know that?
Do you know which donuts taste the best?
No.
The ones with the most calories.
They're all good.
Should an athlete eat like this?
Weight-watching is really important for boxers.
I'm not a boxer.
You know,
I called you 43 times.
I actually thought something had happened to you.
You created this whole situation.
I lost my job.
As if you're worried about me.
The lawsuit. I dropped it.
There's no point in threatening you with that.
You act like you really care about me.
So,
have you given it some thought?
You said you'd think about it.
I won't do it.
If I put up with this for about five years,
people will stop caring.
It's just five more years.
Why would I box again?
I hate that more than dying.
Don't drink that.
What's wrong with you?
Don't come between me and food.
Mister.
What?
You called me, so talk. What?
I'll do it.
I'll box again.
You just said you wouldn't. Why the sudden switch?
Shall I not, then?
Why the sad face, then?
Because I don't want to do it.
I hate boxing so much.
But if I run away again,
I don't think it'll ever come to an end.
However hard I try to run,
boxing will come after me until I die.
That terrifies me.
I'm scared.
A bit higher.
A bit lower.
Why does it look slanted?
Up or down, which way?
I think that'll do.
(Lee Kwon Sook, welcome to SP)
- Hello. - Hi.
- I'm off to pick her up. - Okay.
Kim.
Make it very clear that she'll only take...
the fight money with no signing bonus.
Don't let her change her mind before she signs the form.
Our rivals are all waiting for our deal to fall through.
She will just take the fight money,
and she doesn't want too much.
Good luck.
Thanks.
Isn't it a nice day?
Lots of people would love to see you.
I've already sent three people packing.
From right here.
(Team Manager Jung Soo Yeon)
If you're here because of my comeback...
I've already made my decision.
I know you've been in contact with S and P.
Since you always fought as an amateur boxer,
I bet you don't know what it's like for pro boxers.
Do you know how much professional boxers make in a year?
I'm not sure.
I'd say it's around 3,000 to 4,000 dollars.
For the Korean National Championships,
it ranges from 100 to 1,000 dollars per match.
And you have to do a 70-30 split with your coach.
You'd have to win the Asian Championship...
to bump it up severalfold.
Han Ah Reum, even with her World Champion title,
is in a similar situation.
Thank you.
Let's do a good job.
A champion must have a mandatory defense match every six months.
Each match costs...
- about 100,000 dollars. - I'll take it now.
- One, two, three. - As a rule, the champion...
- Stand closer. - must take care of all the expenses.
Shall we shout "Let's go" together?
- Sure. - Sure.
- Han Ah Reum must've shed many tears... - Let's go!
while trying to keep her champion belt for the past few years.
We're ready to order.
Sure.
I must say, Ah Reum has it easier than the others.
For all the pro boxers in this country, having to keep side jobs...
- I'll serve this to Table Five! - is a given.
Why are you telling me all this?
Because you...
can change it.
That's nonsense.
How could I do something like that?
Do you remember the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight?
The cheapest ticket for that match...
cost 3,800 dollars.
But...
the tickets all sold out in just one minute.
The fight money surpassed 400 million dollars,
for both fighters combined.
We need a star player to keep boxing alive.
That's why I'm here.
I want to make you...
the Mayweather of Korea.
Gosh, seriously.
(Lee Kwon Sook)
(I'm on my way now.)
(Where on earth...)
I'm sorry,
but I don't think I can do it.
I know you came all the way here to see me,
but I don't have what it takes to do that.
Would you please help me?
Korean boxing needs you, Kwon Sook.
I...
don't even deserve to talk about boxing.
I'm sorry. I have to go.
By any chance,
did he ask you where you wanted to go?
Didn't Mr. Kim Tae Young...
tell you he would take you to the place you wanted to go?
I will take you there. To the place you want to go.
That's what he does.
He has the athletes under his thumb.
And he does whatever he wants to do with them.
He did that to me too.
Mr. Kim was...
my agent in the past.
Ms. Lee.
Ms. Lee!
(Lee Kwon Sook)
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...
Darn it.
Hey!
Oh!
Mister, you're late.
Meet me in the parking lot.
Why did you turn your phone off?
My battery was running low.
Why are you yelling at me? I ran all the way here.
Hey, you should've charged your phone.
Why can't you be more prepared?
Look who's talking. Why couldn't you trust me?
That look on your face in the car...
I told you I'd come.
It's not that I don't trust you.
I was just worried.
Worried, my foot.
You were totally antsy.
Do you really think I'd get antsy about stuff like this?
You were antsy.
No, I wasn't.
Wimp.
Stop, will you?
- Mister. - Why? What?
Can you unlock the door for me?
Oh, right.
I, Lee Kwon Sook, will be sure to lose and retire!
Shall I set up a billboard for you in front of Gangnam Station?
Mister.
Why do you keep calling me? What is it?
You should thank my mom.
My mom told me that...
when I wanted something with all my heart,
the universe would send me someone who'd help me achieve it.
I'm going to put my trust in you.
But if you betray me, you'll die at my hands.
Please sign here.
(Lee Kwon Sook)
I look forward to working with you.
Smile. One, two.
Go, Lee Kwon Sook!
(Park Kyung Soo, See Results)
- Oh. - Here we go.
- Keep going. - Oh, no.
Let's go!
- Nice! - It's Reporter Park!
- Nice! - Great.
Since it's on Reporter Park,
let's have ginseng chicken soup. Okay?
Come on. We should have the Hanwoo beef set for lunch.
Hanwoo sounds great. Let's go.
- Come on! - Who has the Hanwoo beef for lunch?
Lee Kwon Sook has signed her contract.
We'll distribute the press release in 21 hours.
What are you doing? Let's go.
Oh, I'll meet you guys there.
Goodness. He's at it again.
You're really something!
Save your lunch money and become filthy rich!
(Lee Kwon Sook Has Signed With S and P)
Hey, let's just go.
Okay.
(The article has been sent.)
- What do you feel like? - I want sundaeguk.
Oh, the sundaeguk restaurant is...
Then I'll have tripe soup.
Let's go.
Go ahead. I'll meet you there.
("Genius Boxer Lee Kwon Sook Returns")
("Lee Signs an Exclusive Contract to Win the World Champion Title")
So?
Did the two of you manage to get to the place...
you'd wanted to go?
It makes me angry to say this,
but yes. We did.
That man, Kim Tae Young...
He's a jerk, but he keeps his promises.
Then it's fine.
I don't know what he promised you.
But I'm a good agent too.
Will you give me a chance to show you that?
Wherever it is that you want to go,
I can escort you there too.
No.
I'm sorry to say this,
but you can't.
It's something...
you'll never be able to do.
("Genius Boxer Lee Kwon Sook Returns")
("Lee Signs an Exclusive Contract to Win the World Champion Title")
Let's have beef instead of sundaeguk.
It's my treat.
- No way! - Gosh.
- That's amazing! Oh, my. - You're the best!
Here's the contract.
(Management Contract)
Gosh, not the voluminous stuff. Just pack the ones you need immediately.
And the agency will pay your rent...
for this house until your second match is over.
You didn't tell me I had to move.
You said people still came here to see you every day.
The building supervisor said it was a hassle...
to deal with residents, making complaints all because of you.
It's because of you, not me.
Anyway, you can't stay here.
There's no security here, and it's far from the gym too.
Hurry up. Why do you have so much stuff?
And what's this?
Hey.
Don't look.
I'm sorry.
So where are we going?
My house.
Your house?
Are you telling me to stay here?
It doesn't matter where you stay.
You said you didn't want to run into people.
Staying at hotels can be risky too. Stay here for the time being.
With you?
Are you crazy?
I don't want to stay with you either. It's uncomfortable for me too.
I'll stay at my junior's house. Don't worry.
This is the guest room.
Let me know if you need anything.
I have storage here.
You'll find everything you need there...
Mr. Kim was my agent in the past.
They are the athletes I used to manage.
I'm going to plan your diet starting tomorrow.
Before your comeback match,
you must lose at least 6kg.
Ask me before you eat anything including water.
No need to scare me. I know the drill.
Gosh, I hate dieting.
Send me your bank account number so I can pay the rent.
When did I ask you to pay rent?
I have money.
- I get pension. - I never said you didn't have money.
Why are you wasting your pension?
It's my money. I'll spend it however I see fit. Why are you meddling?
Pensions are different from regular money.
You should spend it on something more valuable.
There's some money I'd rather spend on useless things.
To me, pension is a symbol of my trauma.
Are you a teenager?
Do you know how immature you sound right now?
If you don't take it, I'll move out.
That's it.
I told you...
All right. Do the steps.
One, two. Let's go.
One, two. Down and hook.
Let's do that three more times.
Down and hook.
- One, two. Down and hook. - One, two. Down and hook.
One last time. One, two. Down and hook.
Gosh. Good work.
- Good work. - Bye.
- Thank you. - That was a good workout.
- Thank you. - You saw our new schedule, right?
- Yes. Thank you. - Let's go.
Hey, Tae Young.
Gosh. It's nice to meet you.
What do you think about the gym? Do you like it?
Yes. Well,
it looks like this place is...
for unenthusiastic quitters, so I like it.
It doesn't smell like sweat either.
Right?
People these days love working out at places like this.
(Let's get pretty. You trust me, right?)
Where's the coach?
(You're the prettiest when you throw punches.)
That would be me.
Forget about the formalities.
Coach or whatnot.
My students here usually call me...
"my dear."
I see. Okay.
His name is Choi Ho Joong.
The former lightweight champion in Asia.
He'll be your training partner.
I look forward to working with you.
Sure.
As for the equipment here, it's in the best condition.
Besides, I'm a bit of an equipment enthusiast.
You can use this gym from morning until night.
From 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.,
you'll have the gym to yourself for these five hours.
Reporters will come and watch you train in a few days.
So get ready with Ho Joong.
The public will watch?
It's nothing more than...
just an event. So relax.
Do I have to do that?
You're no longer an amateur. You're a professional boxer now.
You must be a good boxer who can also communicate with the public.
- Get her ready. - Okay.
I hate doing stuff in front of reporters.
Come on, mister.
You can't leave until 2 p.m.
I cleared the morning classes here for you.
If you want to leave, you have to beat me first.
You must not have learned this yet.
You're a boxer. If you go around throwing punches...
Great.
Faster. Come on.
Hey, hold on.
Sook.
Enough with the evasion drill. Let's hit the sandbag for ten minutes.
Gosh, come on. I told you to stop calling me Sook.
What's wrong with you?
Hey, why do you call her Sook?
She already hates her name.
It's cute that she gets so irritated.
When did you two drop the honorifics?
Us?
We did that almost immediately.
I guess you haven't yet.
She said she didn't want us to look friendly.
Hey, check that out.
Kwon Sook is in great shape. Too great, if you ask me.
- Is that so? - She's got good muscles.
Endurance, flexibility, agility, and dynamic visual acuity.
She's at the top, even among the current boxers.
(Your age of cardiovascular health and lung capacity, 20 years old)
- Tae Young. - Yes.
Do you have to...
rig the game?
Why do you ask?
She took a long break.
I thought it would take a long time to rebuild her body.
But that's not the case at all.
Do you see this?
It looked like she didn't even try that hard, but that was a mean punch.
What's the point?
She despises boxing.
She said she was cursed by her father.
You mean Lee Chul Yong?
Gosh. What a waste of talent.
Don't you even mention his name to her.
Why? I have so much respect for the guy.
She hates her father as much as she hates boxing.
You'll just ruin her comeback match.
Okay.
But who's going to fight her in the first round?
Shall I list up some boxers?
No, don't bother.
I've decided.
Who is it?
But who's going to fight her in the first round?
Shall I list up some boxers?
No, don't bother.
I've decided.
Who is it?
That's it!
Don't shy away!
Jo A Ra, aged 27.
As a pro, she has six wins, one loss, with six KO victories.
Stop.
Start over. Fight.
That's it.
Stop.
That's enough!
What's she doing? Why won't she stop?
Her only loss was due to a penalty foul.
The opponent who won that match retired due to her injuries.
Away from the ring, she's an ordinary woman in her 20s.
In the ring, she's a mad attention-seeker.
Her fandom is the craziest and weirdest.
She's a master of media manipulation.
She uploads an average of 13 photos and videos a day.
That's how addicted to social media she is.
(Jo A Ra)
Gosh.
Save me.
Tae Young.
She's not an athlete. She's more like a performer.
She acts like a lunatic.
She earns money with the attention she gets, not with the boxing matches.
What about it?
That's how she became...
the second-most famous boxer after Lee Kwon Sook.
Not everyone knows champion Han Ah Reum,
but they all know Jo A Ra.
She has pretty good skills,
and she has never lost a match.
She did lose one.
By a penalty foul.
She's the best first opponent.
She has a strong fandom,
and she can control the media.
She'll do our work for us and promote the match.
Do you think boxing's a show?
We must make it a show.
That sells tickets,
and sold tickets make us money.
You focus on winning the match.
Jo A Ra's no pushover.
She doesn't have a title but she's Asia's bantamweight number four.
She's a strong southpaw.
Three years ago, maybe,
but she'll be hard to beat now.
Take this.
Thank you.
If any of the reporters have a question.
Yes, you.
I believe you changed your legal name.
Is there a reason you changed it to Lee Yu Ri?
I believe...
it's boxer Lee Kwon Sook that the fans want to see.
Now that I'm back,
I'd like you to call me Lee Kwon Sook.
Will you have any problems with the weigh-in?
You were away for quite a while.
It won't be easy to lose the extra weight to compete...
in your usual bantamweight category.
That's not an issue.
Ms. Lee's currently training with me, a weight loss expert...
at Emperor Diet Boxing.
Ms. Lee's current weight is 59.64kg.
That's 6kg above the bantamweight limit of 53.52kg.
She just has to lose six kilos.
Mister.
What?
Any other questions?
(Lee Kwon Sook)
(Lee Kwon Sook 60kg)
(Lee Kwon Sook's weight)
(Lee Kwon Sook fails bantamweight.)
I don't weigh 60kg.
I weigh 59.64kg!
Did you have breakfast?
Why ask?
Oh, do you want to know how I put on weight?
What's up with her? Why won't she let me talk to her?
(Emperor Diet Boxing)
Please wait for your order.
Are you ready to order?
I'll have an iced latte.
With two shots and this much milk.
An iced latte with two shots and a dash of milk.
No, wait.
What's the drip of the day?
The drip of the day is Yirgacheffe.
It's lightly acidic...
with a flowery, fruity aroma.
Just give me a hot black coffee.
A tall one.
One hot black coffee.
Four dollars and ten cents.
You can't...
I bet you want to smack me.
I'll arrange a match. Call me.
(Sports and Passion, Kim Tae Young)
Boxing?
You never cared for sports.
The algorithm keeps recommending clips.
Do you want something to drink?
No. I can't stay for long.
I'm here to say something.
You want to talk? What about?
I'm thinking of settling down.
"Settling down?"
Are you proposing to me right now?
What kind of reaction is this?
I want to marry someone else, not you.
Are you surprised?
No.
But why him and not me?
Come on. Don't be clingy.
We were like key rings to each other.
- A key ring? - Yes.
Someone who looks nice by my side.
Someone I can take profile pictures with.
Nothing more than that.
My friends told me to choose a diligent man with a promising future.
You were never serious about me anyway.
And about your career too.
Am I wrong?
Get it together already.
You're 30 now.
How much longer will you rely on your mother financially?
- Oh, my. - My gosh. She's amazing.
- Did you see that? - Yes, she's so fast.
- I didn't know she was so cool. - My gosh. Right?
- She's really cool. - Yes, look at that.
Her moves are so fast that you can't see them.
You don't need to turn it off. Keep watching.
Who moved my desk?
I moved it because the director told me to.
You moved it?
How could you get rid of my desk without even telling me?
I had no choice but to do it because the director told me to.
I have no power, you see.
You should've at least called me.
You rarely answer our calls.
We moved it two days ago,
and you found out just now.
Okay, so where is my desk?
Gosh, it's so heavy.
- Mr. Han! - Mr. Han!
You can't even carry this?
Ms. Yu Ri moved that totem pole all by herself.
By herself?
No way.
Who can move that thing by themselves?
I'm telling you the truth!
She lifted it effortlessly and moved it by herself.
I saw it!
Yes, I think I saw it too.
- I saw it too! - Me too!
Okay, I heard you. Stop.
Hey, you can't go on it. Get down.
Hey, don't do that. Come here. Get down.
Don't!
So? Have you given it some thought?
A match with Lee Kwon Sook. All eyes will be on it.
It'll be a great opportunity for you.
"Opportunity?" Oh, please.
Where will the fight take place?
- Is it a big place? - A municipal stadium with 500 seats.
That's small.
I won't do it if I have to be there as male boxers' sidekick.
It'll be the main event.
- Which TV network? - I can't guarantee you any TV exposure.
But it'll be live-streamed.
So even Lee Kwon Sook couldn't sell the right to broadcast it.
How much will you pay me?
How much is Lee Kwon Sook getting?
You'll be surprised to hear it as it's very small.
She said a large amount would make her uncomfortable,
so we're giving her the bare minimum.
She must be very comfortable financially.
She turned down money?
How much would you like?
I want 100,000 dollars.
- Why did you scoff? - Will you do it for 100,000 dollars?
No.
Lee Kwon Sook is a hot potato at the moment.
If I fight with her, the others will call me a traitor too.
Sorry, honey.
Now, I can eat, right?
Who are you? Who sent you?
Hey, are you Kim Tae Young?
Are you Lee Chul Yong?
When did you start tailing me?
That's what you want to know?
If you were that curious about what your daughter was up to,
why didn't you call me?
I can't believe you punched me.
What are you, a thug?
Why you little...
Hey. You're that infamous son of a witch.
How did you sweet-talk my daughter into doing this?
Do you have something on her? Did you threaten her or something?
If I did, then what? What can you even do now?
You piece of...
Gosh! Stop, okay?
Your daughter made the decision of her own accord.
To get closure on what happened three years ago.
Hey. If you're her agent,
why are you two so close?
You little... Are you trying to make a move on my daughter?
Gosh, seriously! No, I do not have any feelings for her.
Fine.
Hand over your phone.
Why?
(Lee Chul Yong)
If anything happens,
call me right away.
Answer me.
Okay! I heard you.
Good grief. I will call you.
Don't even tell Kwon Sook that you met me.
You got that?
There will come a time when Kwon Sook suddenly changes...
as if she's dying or something.
For example, that rebel would suddenly become obedient.
Or she'd suddenly stop whining and become all quiet.
That's a sign...
that she doesn't want to box.
Don't stop her, and just let her go.
What if I stop her?
Then I...
won't let you off.
You can try throwing longer punches.
All right. Let's take a quick break.
(Assistant Director Han Jae Min)
Hello?
Gosh, thank goodness you picked up.
What are you up to now?
Now?
I was just practicing.
Oh, you had to practice.
Yes. What's up?
Do you have some time now?
Five minutes would do.
Five minutes?
Yes, that should be fine.
Really? Then look out the window.
The window?
Come out for a moment.
My gosh.
(Emperor Diet Boxing)
What brings you here?
You should've called me in advance.
Then you wouldn't have let me come here.
I asked Eun Sol for your address.
I came to give you this.
I'm covered in sweat as I've been practicing.
You're worried you'd stink?
Come on. Who cares?
Oh, one moment.
What is this?
What do you think? Clearly, I've come here to apologize.
I said to you that boxing was lame.
I wanted to apologize for that. I bet it's obvious.
Okay.
But this won't do.
Well,
then...
do you want to punch me?
What?
(Emperor Diet Boxing)
I watched the video today.
Your training video.
I see. That...
After watching that video, I watched videos of all of your fights.
I enjoyed watching them.
I was so clueless.
And I realized that what I said to you was so hurtful.
So I came here to apologize.
I see.
Okay.
Gosh, my phone.
It's so not helpful.
I set the timer for five minutes.
I can't distract you from your training.
My five minutes are up. So I'll get going now.
I might be back. When I do,
spare me five minutes again.
I'll set the timer again. Okay?
Okay.
(Emperor Diet Boxing)
What are you doing over there?
(My Lovely Boxer)
What I want to do isn't boxing. I want to date!
That's what you want? Dating?
You might think it's silly.
Romance is important to me.
Why must I be on friendly terms with you?
That way, I can save face with the chairman.
Kwon Sook's next match.
Who's her opponent?
How about Ms. Han Ah Reum?
I have no intention of being part of the rigged game.
I see.
Do you know the definition of paradox?
- Have you gone mad? What are you doing? - I...
put my life on the line for this game.
I can't ruin my life because of your love life.
You're trying to put the nationally beloved genius boxer...
in a rigged game and make her retire.
- What are you doing? - Comforting you.
That's paradoxical.
- Lee Kwon Sook! - Kwon Sook will show up, right?
- Lee Kwon Sook! - Shouldn't we call the police?
