How could you do that?
What the heck?
What did I do?
Not you.
He seriously has some *s loose.
How could you say that?
I didn't mean anything by it.
Did we…
really love each other?
What?
I can't believe it.
Hey. No. Don't believe it. No.
Let's be partners.
I'm dying to play with you.
Sorry, but no.
-What? -I'm in the team competition.
I have to play with Sungsil.
I can't handle mixed doubles on top of it all.
That's your reason?
I feel bad for you, but I need to save my energy.
Mixed doubles are too much.
I'd understand if there were another reason,
but you and I have a history together.
Do you think it was easy for me to ask you to be my partner?
I had to muster up a lot of courage to ask you.
But you reject me right off the bat--
Sorry, but what can I do? My body is too weak.
Did you forget already?
When you first came to Yunis and were unable to find a partner,
I was nice and played with you.
You begged really desperately.
Oh. Did I?
"Did I?"
How could you forget?
Have you always been this forgetful?
Anyway, I can't play with you.
She says…
she forgot.
I had no idea.
Obviously, I want to play with you.
Let's be partners.
I'm dying to play with you.
I'm dying here too.
Yes, hello?
Hi, Junyoung. Did I wake you?
Sorry. I'll call you tomorrow then.
It's fine. What is it?
Well, so… The thing is…
What is it at this hour?
So… We have a tournament.
We have a tournament, you see.
So…
I was wondering if I could play mixed doubles at the tournament…
with Taejun. Is that okay?
Is that why you called?
Why'd you wake me up about nothing?
Go ahead.
What the heck? Junyoung, you're so cool.
What the heck? It was so simple.
Sorry I'm late!
Let's be punctual, okay?
We're just waiting for Seungwoo, right?
He's gone.
It feels empty without him, doesn't it?
What?
It does.
How do you feel?
What does it matter?
This body is useless. It can't even compete in the tournament.
I see. You don't feel that great.
Worry about yourself.
You're entering two events.
No, I'm not. I'm entering three.
I see, you're entering three. You're so popular.
Three… Three events?
-Let's get to work, guys. -Okay.
So, you need to take care of your body.
It's very useful.
I said not to be obvious that you're dating.
I may just tell the coach about you.
Sorry,
but I'll be obvious about dating right now.
What? Hey!
You punk.
Let's go. I don't want to see it.
I said I'd play mixed doubles with you, not get back together with you.
Whatever. You'll really play with me?
Yes.
Why'd you change your mind?
I couldn't stop thinking about you.
No matter how hard I tried,
I couldn't forget.
Great job, Park twins!
I was the happiest when I played with you.
I'm saying I'll play badminton with you. That's all.
Very innocently. Just badminton.
Shall we go play?
Seriously.
You want to be captain?
Well… Sure, Dongwan is great.
But still, Youngsim should be captain.
-Yes, Youngsim. -She's the most senior player.
That's right.
I see. Youngsim.
Yuri! Isn't Yuri your year too?
-I bet she'll want to be captain. -That's right.
She's not interested at all.
I'll make the sacrifice.
-Okay. -Okay.
But hey. Don't try to do too much, okay?
Just wing it, okay? Wing it.
A captain doesn't need to do anything, am I right?
Of course not. Don't do anything, okay?
That's the best for the team.
I'll take it upon myself
to discipline Yunis.
Hey.
You may go.
Hey… You… Don't do anything out there.
Work hard.
What the heck?
I'm very worried.
Seriously.
Okay, what is it?
I want to enter mixed doubles with Taeyang.
Hey. Is your knee okay?
-It's fine. -Yeah?
Okay. You should play in at least one match if you can.
So… There's one more thing.
I wanted
to discuss something.
Okay.
This time, we engraved the design into the handle.
We made the leaves wider.
So this is the previous model,
and this is the new product?
Yes, sir. We came up with a brand new design.
Wow. I can't see the difference at all.
-Pardon? -Nothing.
Please pack up some samples to give our buyers.
-Yes, sir. -Okay.
Everyone's working hard.
You, Loverboy. What are you going to do this afternoon for training?
It's free training, so I'm going to work on my footwork.
I feel like my feet got slower.
Who said you could decide what training you do?
What do you know?
Free training means the captain decides what you do.
Listen. As long as I'm captain,
you'd better stay on your toes.
I can't stand people who aren't disciplined.
-You know that, right? -Yes, sir.
Gosh. I miss Seungwoo.
This is so dusty. Dang it.
That's not good for my bronchial tubes.
Bronchial tubes, my *.
Hey. Move it.
Darn it. Captain? Give me a break.
I was planning to stop by today.
I'll bring samples of our new product.
Yes. Thank you.
If you feel any pain when you climb the stairs or sit down,
or while doing any regular activities, you have to come right away.
Straighten your leg and sit whenever you're resting.
-Use heat packs before-- -I know.
Heat packs before playing and ice packs afterward.
I'll tape it up and wear knee pads,
so please go home.
Why did I have to run into you in the elevator?
I'm worried, that's why!
What do you mean you'll play?
Forget that. Don't play. Please?
Doctor. Go home.
Don't run! Spare your knee!
TAEYANG
Hey, I'm on my way.
Where are you?
I met up with a friend.
Are you there already?
Yeah. I came first…
Hey, let's go eat.
Aren't you here to train?
We need to eat to have energy to play.
You two go ahead. It'll be nice and romantic.
All right. Let's do our best and meet at the finals.
I wonder if the brackets will work out that way.
What if we meet in the round of 16?
Then they'll be eliminated.
Even if they get lucky with their brackets and avoid us,
it's not like just anyone can make it to the finals.
It's true.
Sure. You've never played in a tournament together, and yet,
you expect to reach the finals.
Wow. Talk about confidence.
Right. You played in the Yook Junghwan Tournament.
Yes. It's a part of my past that I want to erase. What a joke.
Hey. What was wrong with the tournament?
I crushed them. That's why.
It was our first time playing together, so we had no teamwork.
It won't be easy for you either.
Is better than exes.
Go out if you're jealous. Although it'll be hard.
Are you two…
But you're still partners? That's so cool of you guys.
Why'd you two break up?
-Why? -Just eat.
Eat.
It's good. Eat before it gets cold.
I'm so annoyed.
Let's crush Junghwan.
Let's crush him like ice and make a cocktail out of him.
He won't get crushed that easily.
What? Have you no faith in us? Have you lost already?
Why are you getting excited? You're getting me excited.
I don't want to lose my composure.
Or be unreasonable.
But I don't want to give up
or avoid anything either.
I want to try my best till the end.
Let's give it our all and leave no regrets.
Okay, that's good. Stop.
Stop. You'll explode.
What do you mean? It hit the line and bounced out.
-It was in. -It was in.
It was out.
-Don't you see that. -It's out.
Didn't you see?
-I did see it. -Then what's your problem? It's in.
-It's in. -I saw it go out!
Shut it, Green Head.
-It's blue. -How is that blue?
-It's blue! -It's blue!
Look in the mirror. How is that blue?
I did! I looked 15 times today.
-Stop looking at the mirror. -He's cute!
You call this cute?
-Yes! -You need glasses.
How is that cute? This is what you call cute--
-Let's play. -Really?
YUNIS WOMEN'S TEAM COMPETITION, CHAMPIONS
The great Yunis!
The women's team is the champions!
Champions!
The women's team made up for the men's team choking!
-Coach! -What?
Third place isn't choking.
Fine. Whatever.
-Champions! -Champions!
-Coach. -What?
What time are the men's doubles?
It's in about two hours.
Seungwoo will come, won't he?
Let's wait and see.
Okay.
So… There's one more thing.
I wanted to discuss something.
Okay.
It's about Seungwoo.
His career ended too abruptly.
If he'll allow it, I'd like to play with him.
I appreciate Taejun's offer, but--
Your retirement hasn't been officially processed yet.
You can compete.
I've stopped training. I can't compete in the tournament.
Plus, I've made up my mind.
I know how that feels.
I quit at the end of my career just like you.
I retired without playing my final match.
You're an Olympic gold medalist.
So what?
The end was pathetic just the same.
I fell from even higher up, so…
So, I was more pathetic and it hurt more.
And more eyes were on me.
Seungwoo. You know,
I can't remember my final match.
Because I didn't know it would be my last when I played.
Do you know what thoughts I still have whenever I get drunk?
I should've played just one more match.
I really want to play just one more match.
You can't play anymore even if you want to.
This is really your last chance.
Will I feel lighthearted if I play one more match?
When I wake up in the morning, I'll still feel like I'm all alone
in another world regardless.
Seungwoo, the match will begin soon.
-I won't play. -Don't be like that.
End your career like an athlete. On the court.
-He didn't call you guys either, right? -No.
We will now begin the round of 16
Yunis, Park Taejun, Yeon Seungwoo. Yunis, Koo Hyukbong, Yook Junghwan.
-Please go to court three. -Sorry, but they'll be right here.
They're stuck in traffic.
He has to come.
Still no word? I don't think we can stall any longer.
Oh, my gosh! Darn it.
-Hey. You guys. Go! -Coach! Are you okay?
-Just go. Leave me! Just go! -Coach!
-Sorry. I'll go on ahead! -Go!
I gotta quit smoking.
Out of our way! Move!
Excuse us!
He's here!
I'm not too late, am I?
Go change.
Change quickly. Taejun, let's go in.
Okay. Who are we playing against, anyway?
Us.
What?
I thought you'd refuse to play if I said we were going up against them.
I won't go easy on you even if it's your last match.
Seungwoo. I'll do my best to beat you.
Regardless, I'm on your side.
Good luck!
Let's go.
-My bad. -It's okay.
Let's go, captain!
-Captain! -Let's go, captain!
Sorry.
You can do it!
He did it.
-All right! -That was awesome!
Go, captain!
-All right! -Nice!
-Come on! -You can do it!
You were disappointed with today's match, weren't you?
No.
It was nice that the best players in the nation
were my opponents in my final match.
And that I played with you.
Sorry. I should've been better.
I'm grateful.
I'm glad I played today.
It feels cathartic.
You're cool.
You do what you like simply because you like it.
Liking something without weighing anything
takes courage.
Your sweet talk has improved.
Since it's the last time.
Let me say some nice words too.
Taejun.
Become a player…
that someone who gave his all at badminton
wants to play against at his final match.
A player that other players respect.
We haven't reached the end of our story yet. Don't you agree?
I'll wait.
Until Hana turns 10, 20,
or 30.
Until you can come to me without feeling bad.
You know I'm good at waiting.
Seungwoo.
Hello, listeners.
I have shocking news.
We are expecting a meteor shower tonight.
It's what you call shooting stars.
Since there will be a lunar eclipse covering the moon,
it'll be the best space show of the year.
If you can't sleep tonight, why don't you go out and make a wish?
-Hey. Should we go stargazing later? -Especially with family.
-Okay. Sounds good. -Or with your significant other.
You should sleep,
not go stargazing.
You need to stay in shape.
-I'll be going. -Yes, sir.
-With my love. -Let's go.
-Okay. -I can't wait.
I hope tonight will be a special night for all of us.
Dang it.
Why are you bowing?
-Stars-- -Where are you going?
Roof. You need to see the sky to see the stars.
Must we do all this just to make a wish?
Yes, we do.
We have a tournament to win, so it can't hurt.
-Let's go. -Junghwan and Taejun aren't out yet.
Junghwan said he'd kill anyone who wakes him,
and Taejun is down because he lost today.
-Let's go. -Okay.
I see.
Darn it.
You're still up.
Why are you barging into the men's dorm?
Everyone went to make a wish.
Let's go.
Forget it. Why would a shooting star grant me my wish?
I wanted to go stargazing alone with you.
Well… I thought we could watch it together in the field or something.
But if you don't want to, we don't have to…
Let's go.
I don't see anything sparkling. Do you?
Forget shooting stars. There are no stars, period.
Yes, there are.
We just can't see them.
Why is it so hard to make a wish?
What do you want to wish for?
What is it?
Nothing much.
That I'll be cheered on.
The reason it's hard for someone
who lived on the court to leave it.
For me, it was people cheering me on.
-Park Taeyang! -Park Taeyang!
-You can do it! -Park Taeyang!
They were screaming my name at the top of their lungs.
When else would I have people cheer me on like that?
I realized
I needed those cheers.
And I want to keep receiving them.
As the person Park Taeyang.
Congrats.
You finally found your reason for coming back.
I did.
The problem is, there are no shooting stars.
Wow. This is so comfy.
Lie down.
We should've brought a microscope.
You mean telescope.
It doesn't even surprise me anymore.
Didn't you find my ignorance funny?
Are you sick of it now?
What do you want me to say?
I don't know either… how I feel.
You probably don't want to know.
Because you don't think you can handle it.
What would be your wish?
To win?
No.
Wealth?
Success?
Happiness?
To kiss you right now.
Was that thunder?
I think it's going to rain.
What the heck?
I'm speechless.
We should blow up the Weather Service.
Should we go tomorrow?
-Run! -Get inside!
Run!
What meteor shower? It's a rain shower.
If you're so desperate for that wish, make it come true yourself.
Just do it.
Even if it rains.
Even if someone tries to stop you.
I'll just do it myself.
So,
will that wish that I desperately wanted to make that night
not come true?
How cute.
Junghwan, take a selfie with her.
Nice, Junghwan. You've still got it.
It's such a pain to be popular.
Want an autograph?
-Let's go in. -Yes, sir.
-Okay. -Hey, Taeyang.
PARK TAEYANG GOOD LUCK
Hey.
Who are you?
What is this?
Just take it.
I came to cheer you on. Good luck!
You even have a fan.
She's my little sister.
You're a knucklehead too, aren't you?
I guess
FIRST DAY OF MIXED DOUBLES
-Hey. -Right? I have a good feeling about it.
Especially this week.
-I'm going to the bathroom. -Be quick.
-Hurry up. -Okay.
Oh, no. I have a high fever.
Yikes. That's the ladies' room.
Yumin! Are you inside?
Come out…
Hey. Are you very sick?
It's 39 degrees.
You okay?
I didn't know you had a sister.
Don't ask about my past.
What about your present?
It didn't seem bad from what I saw earlier.
If you're down--
Let's do well today.
My bloodline is watching.
Let me see.
You're burning up.
Are you really okay?
Actually, I scammed you.
What?
I'm always like this before a big match.
Catching a cold or the flu, having stomachaches
and appendicitis are the norm.
I once fell on the bus and broke my nose.
I even sprained my finger while squeezing a ketchup packet.
-Anytime I have a big match-- -Take this.
It'll bring your fever down.
I had a 40-degree fever last time, and this got rid of it.
Sorry.
We need to crush those who bad-mouth you for getting kicked off the national team.
But because of me…
You're not cursed.
You get sick before big matches.
This is only the round of 32.
I've made it to the Olympics.
Still. It's our first tournament together.
It's very important to me.
I really am cursed.
It's over.
Hey. I feel better now.
What I gave you was a vitamin.
What?
It was a vitamin, not medicine.
He used to be with Seoul City Hall, right? Park Taejun.
He wasn't very memorable, but…
Coach Lee Taesang trained him well.
Taeyang stands out too.
Wow. They play so well together.
They're okay, I guess.
Hey! Guys!
You two played well together today.
Stay as focused as you were today.
-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!
Go for the win.
Put some pressure on yourselves.
-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!
Good.
-Dad! -Hey. Slow down.
I said to separate yourselves when you're off the court!
We're partners. We should be as one.
Did you see our match? We played as if we were one.
Hey, Yumin… A pro…
A pro needs to be professional.
-I-- -Once the match is over, that's it.
Your match is over, so go your separate ways.
-Get away from her. -Coach.
-What? -I need to get going.
-Okay. Go. -See you later.
Hey! Walk! You should go too.
I need to discuss the match with her.
Let go of her hand.
How dare you grab her hand?
I'll do my best.
-You'll do your best on what? -Well…
You'll do your best on what, you punk? Hey!
-Step out of the way. Move. -Dad. I love you.
-Get over here. -Dad.
-You punk.
Did she leave already?
Hey. Where are you? Let's meet up.
I may cut school, but I never skip my academy.
I see. You left already.
Get back safely.
Don't cut school either next time.
Anyway, you know something?
Mom went to the temple today when she heard you were playing.
She goes often because of you.
To pray you do well.
She should just use that time to call you.
She makes no sense.
But I wanted to tell you regardless.
I'll take you
out to eat next time.
Call me.
I will. My bus is here.
One more thing. You were super cool today.
Here.
Do you feel better?
Yes. That placebo was awesome.
How did a vitamin bring down my fever?
It really is mind over matter.
It really was medicine.
What?
You kept stressing about being cursed.
"It's no big deal.
Even a vitamin can bring down a fever if I think it's medicine."
So you'd think that.
You know that once you break a curse, it's gone forever, right?
Your curse was broken today. Don't forget that.
This will make sure I don't forget.
Let's…
never forget.
What?
He's playing mixed doubles with that girl?
Yeah.
Are they still together?
How would I know?
They wanted to play together, so I told them to do as they pleased.
Taeyang and I…
made up?
Is that the right term?
Anyway, we're cool now.
How can you get past it?
I thought I couldn't,
but I realized it was nothing once I did.
You should watch Taejun play.
Are you…
How can I watch him play with the girl who did this to you?
Gosh. You may have gotten past it,
but I haven't.
Mom.
What's wrong with me?
I retired a little early, that's all.
My life isn't ruined.
Because you keep feeling sorry for me,
I feel like
I'm a failure.
If you keep hurting because of me,
I'll never be able to move on from what happened.
"You're doing great."
Just cheer me on.
That way, I can be strong and do better.
Here. Eat this and be strong too.
Gosh. No.
Eat it.
Isn't it yummy?
It's sweet.
Is it?
You started eating without me? That's messed up.
There's a slice left.
Freeze! Don't move!
I haven't eaten yet either. Is it me or Taejun?
It's you, of course.
But it's first come, first served.
Nice. You've got principles.
You didn't get here first. You're cutting.
This is worse than "Who do you love more, Mommy or Daddy?"
Nothing gets done without a captain.
Your captain will decide for you. Come with me.
Ready? Go!
You and Taeyang lucked out with the brackets.
You don't meet us until the finals.
Really?
We didn't even check. We must make you nervous.
We'll breeze our way to the finals,
so work your * off to catch up.
We'll see you at the finals then.
Hey. Our lips didn't touch.
It's gross just thinking about it.
Help yourself.
Why that… You disgusting jerk.
Hey, doesn't it look like he's limping?
He must be tired.
I'll treat you better.
Hang on a little longer.
I watched Park Taejun closely.
He's pretty good. How is he?
Why? You want him?
You may not know since you only work with athletes
that are premade at the training center,
but discovering a raw gem takes real special talent.
Coach Kim, Taejun and Taeyang stood out to you too, I guess.
Don't get me started. My phone is ringing off the hook because of them.
I didn't do anything. They did it all themselves.
Yes, that's correct.
It's rare for someone to improve so dramatically like this.
Our kids are persistent.
They remind me of myself back in the day.
Yes.
You're publishing an article already? They haven't even won yet.
Please pick a nice picture of them.
Do you need one of me? No, right?
Of course not.
Well, if you do…
Nice, Park twins. You even have an article about you.
"A must-watch! Will they turn it around?"
You've finally made it to the finals.
What are we supposed to do?
Are we supposed to root for Junghwan or the two of you?
On their side, Yumin's from Somang Bank.
Of course, you have to root for us. Right?
-Let's go. I'm tired. -Taejun isn't here yet.
Let's just leave him.
-Let's go! Let's go. -Let's go.
Hey! You'd better wait!
It's finally the finals tomorrow.
The finals that I've been dreaming of.
Please let us do well. Please.
No matches. I prohibit it.
I just need to play one more match.
However, life never goes my way.
MIXED DOUBLES FINALS
Taejun.
Do you think… the shooting stars fell that night?
Can't you give me a chance just this once?
I don't think I can do that.
No matches. I prohibit it.
Be honest. It's really bad, isn't it?
I'm fine. Do you want it to hurt?
-Coach. -What's wrong? An injury?
Don't forget even for a second
