Baek Ho's not here yet? How can he do this to Yi Seul?
The person I love...
is getting married today to another man.
I, Ham Yi Seul
love Kang Baek Ho.
I'm here to grant you the miracle you wish for.
What if it's all a lie?
Will you lose anything by being a little crazy and giving it a try?
Yi Seul!!
-You can't! -Yi Seul gave me so many signals and looks.
Do you think I'm stupid?
I should have known.
I should have understood these signs.
How much did miss?
The biggest shock was Baek Ho giving up baseball.
To Yi Seul's happiness!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Get home safe.
You should go in.
- Yi Seul! - Baek Ho!
You go first.
No, it's okay. You can go first.
Don't pay too much attention to what Chae Ri said.
We all know you couldn't have done anything else in that situation.
Chae Ri just feels that...
In her memory,
that's when you shined the most and feels sorry about how -
What about you?
How do you feel?
Did you feel sorry for me?
Do you still feel sorry for me?
That's...
It's late. You should go home. I'm going inside.
Ham Yi Seul.
Do you think things would be different?
If I...
If I hadn't given up baseball.
Do you think it'd be different?
-What? -Us.
No.
Even if you hadn't given up baseball, things would be the same.
You were, and still are, my dearest friend.
Get home safe.
Hey, I don't need that. I can still win without it.
What?
Great!
What's so funny?
Do you think my job as team manager is a joke?
Do you think baseball is just a game?
Even if you have talent, you never know what can happen in baseball.
This game could determine your future.
What if things don't turn out well?
Her words couldn't have been more true.
Even what she said about the game.
Kang Baek Ho!
That was my last baseball game.
You really think this will help me play again?
You were right before.
You think baseball is just a game?
What are you doing?
I asked you what you're doing!
You can't see for yourself?
I'm not playing baseball.
I don't want to play anymore!
You'll always be the best pitcher.
Kang Baek Ho, cheer up!
Go, go, go!
Everything will be fine.
Trust me, everything be fine!
Why did I give up so easily?
Even after she made these.
She waited for me.
Kang Baek Ho...
Why did you give all that up? Why?!
Now I know... that I shouldn't have given up.
I want to go back.
Do you want me to send you back?
Since when-
Why are you here?
It's the least I can do as time conductor
for someone who looks as pitiful as you do.
Can I really go back?
Can you really send me back?
Do you know that story?
A college baseball pitcher who had gotten surgery for a pinched nerve on his elbow.
He made 200 saves 10 years later.
Nobody expected him to become an MVP player.
Oh Seu Won.
It goes well with your story.
Fine. I'll take this as your fee for the trip.
In any case, I hope your trip is worthwhile.
I have to go back.
I can go back.
Please, let me go back once.
I beg you.
Please!
Renovatio.
Renovatio!
Yi Seul!
Fly ball! Fly ball!
Kang Baek Ho!
There's only 1 player left!
Let's go!!
This is... 2002.
My last game.
The end of the 9th inning.
This is when I got injured.
I came back. I'm back!
I came back! It worked!
It really worked!
Hey, pitcher!
The game is not over yet!
You need to strike out this player in order to win!
Why are you celebrating already like this?
Don't worry, Yi Seul.
I won't get hurt this time. I won't.
C'mon, Kang Baek Ho!
Let's go!!
Let's do it!
Last time,
it was a curve ball that hit my arm.
No, Tae Nam. Not a curve ball this time.
I'm going to throw a fast ball.
A true man doesn't play tricks.
Kang Baek Ho!
Are you alright?!
Kang Baek Ho!!
Orthopedics patient, Kang Baek Ho.
Please, come to room 1.
What's wrong with me?!
How could I leave the glove?
What's so special about paper cranes?
It's my fault.
It's all my fault.
If Baek Ho doesn't recover, it's all my fault for losing the glove.
Is this what you're looking for?
Yes!
Thank you! Thank you so much!
It must be a very special glove for you to feel that way about losing it.
Is he a good player?
-Excuse me? -The owner of the glove.
The glove seems too good for anyone to wear.
He's the best!
The owner of this glove is the best pitcher.
I'm glad.
Were you talking about me by any chance?
What are you talking about?
What did the doctor say?
He said that once the bone heals, it'll be stronger.
Really?!
What is the medical term for 'dragon's bone'?
- Kang Baek Ho! - You scared me.
It's your punishment for making me worry.
I'm keeping it for a month.
What's that smell?
Oh my God, a fire!
There's a fire!
- Where's Yi Seul? - On the second floor!
- Call 911! - Okay!
Yi Seul!
Honey!
So what you're saying is...
you were trying to make bone marrow soup for Baek Ho,
and almost burned down our house.
I heard that was the best remedy for broken bones.
I just thought he should have some right away.
Then you should have asked me to make it
or cooked it yourself without falling asleep!
It's just that with cheerleading,
I haven't gotten much sleep the past few days.
I couldn't help it.
My blood pressure. What's the point of raising a child?
Who did she get this from?
You better clean the pot before you go to sleep.
Mom, wait!
Where did you leave the beef bone?
What?
Well, since I already started
I might as well just finish cooking.
Please?
Which arm is it?
First my arm, now my leg.
Was it inevitable in the end?
I came back in time, but I can't even change this.
How can I change...
Yi Seul's feelings and my future?
I can't give up now.
Even if I crush my leg, I won't give up.
Hey, what are you all doing?
- Why aren't you practicing? - Kang Baek Ho!
- Baek Ho! - Kang Baek Ho!
Are you not competing next year?
There's the Golden Lion Cup, the President's Cup,
and the Chinese Phoenix Cup.
Are you okay?
Of course.
You, freshman! Go run around the field 10 times.
Hurry, hurry!
Is your leg alright?
Don't worry about me and just work on your hand signals.
I'm pretty sure the second player figured out ours.
What? Really?!
How could they?! How did they figure that out?
They don't even know how to spell the 'p' of fair play.
It's spelled with an 'f,' you idiot.
Tae Min, can you bring me a glove?
What for?
To practice.
Spectators can tell in a month if you haven't practiced.
A coach can tell in a week.
You know in one day.
What?
Are you really Kang Baek Ho?
I'm pretty sure you got hit on the leg, not your head.
Let's then-
I don't think you'll be needing this anymore.
Baseball players!
That's how it happened.
That's how I met Coach in my junior year.
I didn't know anything about him.
All I remember is our first tense meeting.
Little did I know that he'd become Yi Seul's husband one day.
Okay, focus.
He's going to be your coach starting today.
He's someone you will come to respect.
Please listen and do as he says.
- Okay, that's all. - Teacher, wait!
Try opening your eyes when you listen.
My name is Kwon Jin Won.
That's all you need to know and will know about me.
As your coach,
I have some news to relate to you.
I want the players whose names I call to step forward.
Kim Sun Hoo.
No Jin Soo.
Do Yoo Min.
Ma Bong Tae.
Joo Tae Nam.
Song Chan Wook.
And Kang Baek Ho.
The 7 of you are no longer needed in this team.
You can clean out your lockers.
Starting tomorrow you don't need to come to baseball practice.
- What? - What did you say?
Are you joking with us?
What's the reason?
The baseball team doesn't need you anymore.
Do you need another reason?
- What is th- - Kim Sun Hoo.
ERA of 1.1%, 11 errors.
No Jin Soo. ERA of 2.1%. 13 errors.
Do Yoo Min. ERA of 0.5%. 17 errors.
Joo Tae Nam.
ERA of 5.3%, 14 errors.
Song Chan Wook. ERA of 1.%. 17 errors.
Should I go on?
I think you can figure out what those numbers mean.
Or do I need to tell you directly in my own words?
Those numbers might be pathetic, but we always worked as a team.
We've trained together, and we have a history together.
Even if you're the baseball coach, you can't cut players like that.
That's right!
I still have authority over you. And I will follow through.
What if...
we decide not to follow your orders?
What will happen then?
Will you quit?
No. You will.
If there's a problem,
I will get rid of the baseball team altogether.
I've already been given permission.
Who do you think you are making decisions like that?
This goes to the remaining players of the team.
There will be no practice until the end of midterms.
But if you score in the bottom 5%,
you'll also be added to the cut.
I don't need excellent players who only know how to play baseball.
I also don't want dumb students to play baseball for me.
If you want to play baseball in high school, start by becoming high school students.
That's all.
I have a question.
Let's say you're right.
But what about Baek Ho? I mean, why are you cutting pitcher Kang Baek Ho?
He's talented enough to be in the top 10 pitchers.
We might not be good enough as a team, but he's earned his place as a pitcher.
Why does Baek Ho have to get cut?
What's the point of having a baseball team then?
Because, baseball is not a game you play alone.
And I think Kang Baek Ho knows more than anyone why he shouldn't be playing.
It's too bad the glove is going to waste.
Teachers, I have someone to introduce.
The person standing next to me is a former student.
He's recently graduated from Harvard's Business School.
He's an excellent and capable teacher.
The principal made a point to request him to coach our high school's baseball team.
Coach, you can introduce yourself.
I'm Kwon Jin Won.
First, I would like to make a special request.
I'm not here to coach a national baseball team.
I'm here to coach a high school baseball team made up of teenage students.
They're not professional athletes.
And we don't know whether they'll ever be.
But one thing is certain.
-They're high school students. - That's right.
I don't want high school players who don't even know how to spell 'baseball.'
I'd like to ask all the teachers to not excuse the baseball players from school lessons.
Please remember that baseball players are also your students.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Shall we?
Let's find you a desk.
Hey, Yi Seul!
- What? - I just came from the teacher's office.
If we don't study, we're all getting cut.
- What? - What are we going to do?
What do you think you know about high school baseball?
Sir...
Weren't you at the hospital?
Why are you here?
Ham Yi Seul. High school junior.
Baseball team manager since freshmen year.
The term 'mom' seems more appropriate in your case.
After all, there are a lot of mothers who don't knock before entering rooms.
Are you the new coach, sir?
I'm not that old for you to call me 'sir.'
You can call me 'Coach.'
As a coach,
do you have any experience coaching high school baseball?
No comment.
Of course you don't.
I don't know what kind of qualifications you have, sir.
Excuse me, coach.
You don't even know the principles of high school baseball.
What are they?
Comradeship.
Passion.
Team spirit!
I guess they're different from mine.
Excuse me?
Victory, hope, future, and fighting spirit. I think those should be the principles.
So what you're saying is
a team that doesn't win, doesn't even deserve to play?
If a team doesn't know the value of victory, then yes.
You're the worst.
As a coach and as a leader, you're the worst.
Are you upset about the player with the blue glove?
You can't cut Kang Baek Ho just like that!
You don't know anything about him!
I just know it's better not to choose a path that you can't walk on.
What did you say?
There are 56 high school teams. 1660 players.
And currently, there are 87 new players registered as pro.
Of those 87 players, only 16 are in the opening game.
From these 16 players,
what do you think is his probability of making it?
I'd like to ask you now.
If you had to choose between baseball and life, which do you think is more important?
You shoudl leave now.
I'm still trying to decide what to do with this team.
I haven't made a decision yet.
As your doctor, I suggest you stop playing baseball.
Even with physical therapy, you might never fully recover.
Is there anything you need to tell me?
No.
Is your leg really going to be alright?
Of course.
Don't worry, manager! Your paper cranes will help me get better.
- How did you know? - What?
That inside that box there was a jar full of paper cranes.
Ham Yi Seul, do you think I don't know you?
You've been making these paper cranes every night.
Everyone knows about it.
Oh, you didn't know.
Baseball players, come to the front.
Joo Tae Nam, Song Chan Wook,
Kang Baek Ho. Hurry up!
Hurry up, you punks!
Song Chan Wook, solve problem 1.
Kang Baek Ho, 2.
Joo Tae Nam, 3.
Teacher, how can we do this?
Because I already taught you this.
How can a baseball player solve this?
Is that something to be proud of?
You never called on us before.
Why are you doing this all of the sudden?
A-all of the sudden?!
Lean over. Lean against the board!
Teacher, please. You should calm down.
Don't you tell me to calm down! Lean over now!
Hurry up!
What are you standing there for?
You don't even know what this is, do you?!
6 blows.
One, two,
-three, fo- - My leg, my leg!
You get 2 more for whining.
You punks!
You don't even know how to spell right?
You can't even do what middle schools students can do?
In, the...
- Chan Wook, you read it. - Yes.
Baek Ho!
- You think this is your room? - It's just that I hurt my leg and...
Is that an excuse?
You better not doze off again.
This sucks.
Uncle, can I have some cold wat-
I'm so pissed off I'm hungry.
Can we have some fr-
Thank you... for always.
- Oh, let's go Korea! - Oh, let's go Korea!
Let's forget about baseball for a minute and focus on soccer.
We should do our best to cheer for our World Cup team.
I never thought I'd be able to see Beckham, Ronaldo, Zidane
in a million years!
It's a miracle!
I'm a red devil! You're red devils!
Did you get that?
Starting tomorrow, forget about everything and just cheer!
The 2002 World Cup.
The hot summer that turned everyone into a red devil.
Yi Seul and I never got to watch a game together.
Why didn't I know soccer was this fun before?
Why? Would you have chosen soccer over baseball?
- Is it too late to switch now? - Of course.
Goal!
Go Korea!
Are you coming tomorrow to watch the game outside?
Don't wait for me. I'm not going to go.
C'mon, you should come with us.
I just want to rest.
Do you want us to come over then?
We can all watch the game together.
They probably want to watch the game outside.
You should just go with them.
Okay.
- Go Korea! - Go Korea!
Player Hwang Sun Hong just dropped.
He's bleeding!
- It was a collision. - We're hoping it's not a serious injury.
What's going to happen? Player Hwang Sun Ho has fallen.
What's going to happen?
He's injured his head.
Kang Baek Ho! Are you watching the game?!
Hwang Sun Ho is down.
What's going to happen now?
Yi Seul, don't worry.
Hwang Sun Ho is going to get up.
He'll get up soon and they'll wrap his head in gauze.
And he'll be running around in no time.
No, I think he's really hurt! He's bleeding a lot!
Ham Yi Seul, do you want to make a bet?
If Hwang Sun Ho gets up within 5 seconds, then my leg will heal too.
If I'm wrong, I'll give you my mp3 player.
What?
Just watch the game carefully.
Hey!
Hwang Sun Ho got injured in a heading.
It was a heading coming down.
We're all hoping it's not too serious.
He's bleeding a lot.
If Hwang Sun Ho gets up within 5 seconds, then my leg will heal too.
Please.
Get up. Get up.
Please, get up.
Player Hwang Sun Ho is getting up!
- Hwang Sun Ho! - Hwang Sun Ho!
Hey, did you buy dried squid? Let me have it!
You never study when I'm not around.
Yes, dried squid.
You have to do well on the midterms.
You better score well so that the coach can't say anything!
Understood?
Why are you acting like this all of the sudden?
Kang Baek Ho, did you study for history?
No, I was about to.
Hurry up and open your books!
"Let's go, Kang Baek Ho!"
Ham Yi Seul.
What are you doing here?
Kang Baek Ho.
You scared me!
What happened?
What's wrong?
- It's locked. - What?
Let me.
Chae Ri!
Song Chan Wook! Joo Tae Nam!
They all left.
What?! When?!
I don't know. They were all gone when I woke up.
They went to sleep at home.
Then what are we going to do?
I'll try to get out through the window in the morning.
Does that mean we have to stay here until the morning?
Why did you come up here?
Why are you rummaging through other people's stuff?
Who said that was yours? If anything, it's mine.
You made it for me so it's mine.
I thought you could win without any of that stuff.
Isn't that what you said?
I'm sorry.
About what?
I just am.
When did you get this?
I was so worried the day you got hurt,
I forgot to take it with me.
I told you already.
It's mine so I can take care of it.
What are we going to do until tomorrow morning?
Let's just sleep.
Kang Baek Ho! You shouldn't be sleeping now.
You have to score above 80 on tomorrow's test.
Did you finish studying?
What's the name of the newspaper that published Chang Jae Young's "day of lamentations" ?
- 3, 2- - Wait, wait!
The 'Hwan Sung' newspaper.
Correct.
What's the name of the unfair treaty signed between Korea and Japan?
This one is really easy.
The treaty of 'Kang Hwa Do.'
-When was it signed? -What? What year?
I have to memorize dates too?
Of course!
1876!
Whatever. I'm not studying anymore.
I can't pass even if I study now.
Let's stop now and get some sleep.
Who says?
Get up!
Okay, okay!
81 points!
Yes! I got an 81!
Are you okay?
All you have to worry about now is your leg, Kang Baek Ho.
No one can take baseball away from me.
No one. Never.
Give it back.
I don't want to.
What?
That's enough.
That's enough, Baek Ho.
Kang Baek Ho.
You should stop... playing baseball.
What are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense.
Give me back the glove and go home.
What is baseball to you?
Is it more precious than your body?
Is it more important than your life?
You can live without baseball.
So please stop.
No, I can't.
I can't live without baseball.
You asked me what it means to me.
It's my arm.
It's my leg. It's my heart.
If I stop playing baseball, I'm no longer Kang Baek Ho.
If you take away baseball from me, there's nothing left for Kang Baek Ho.
How do you know that? How can you possibly know that?!
I just know.
I know too well.
I felt it.
Baek Ho-
So please don't say anything and just wait.
If I give up baseball now, I will lose something even greater later.
Greater than baseball? What's that?
You.
What is it?!
Why can't you just let it go?
Since when is it okay to interrupt a player's practice anyway?
How are you a baseball team manager?
I'm leaving.
Let go.
Seriously, Kang Baek Ho?
Hey!
Get on this.
C'mon.
I'll drop you off at home.
- And we're off! - Let's go!
It's fun, isn't it?
Let's go watch the game.
You don't watch soccer games.
If you don't watch that game, you're going to regret it forever.
How do you know?
I just do. C'mon, turn around.
- Okay! - Let's go! Push, push.
Go Korea!
Wear this.
Go Korea!
Yi Seul!
I actually like yo-
Lee Young Pyo has the ball!
What did you say?
I said, I like y-

Let's go, Kang Baek Ho!
I'll take you all the way to the Major League, Kang Baek Ho.
You better not change your mind.
1,2,3!
I'm so sorry!
I told you not to follow me.
Where are you going?!
It's something I need to take care of.
Coach,
do you believe in miracles?
Happy Valentine's Day!
Good morning, everyone!
Valentine's Day has arrived once again.
The person standing next to Yi Seul
instead of Coach
could have been me?
