CJ Entertainment and SBS present In association with CJ Venture Investment MOVIE&JOY A CJ Entertainment Production A SOFTLAND Production Production team Kim Joo-Seong, Kim Ha-Jeong, Jang Gil-Hoon, Choi Joon-Hwan Hello. I'm Hong Mi-Ja, the principal of the 36 year-old Younghwa Academy. Those who are preparing again for the college entrance exam, and those who fear yet another year of studying, our girls-only academy helps you boost your concentration level with beautiful scenery and state-of-the-art facilities. Four girls share a dorm room. A quiet study room. A clean bathroom for their sanitation. And a systematic diet plan to nourish them. It's so quiet that I can concentrate really well. No problem with my health since there's the nurse. Divergence. The best lecture I've ever heard! Very easy to understand! So delicious, just like a home meal. You only need determination. If you can go through one year with us you're already half successful. Dreams definitely come true. Kim Lee-Na, Lee Eun-Seong You Joo-Hee, Heo Jin-Yong Produced by Ahn Byung-Gi Executive Producer You Il-Han Production Manager Choi Ah-Ram Cinematography Kim Hoon-Gwang Lighting by Go Young-Gwang Line Producer Lee Hanna Assistant Director Kim Myung-Hwa Producer Kim Yong-Dae Written, Directed by Kim Eun-Kyung Hello, everyone. Hello. You haven't even got one year until the examination. I'm Oh Myung-Hwa, the housemother, and will be responsible for your stay. Only if you follow the rules, we'll be able to become a family. Now, please change into the uniforms. Geez, how tacky! Please change your clothes. Now, we will check your belongings. What? Accessories are forbidden. It's against the rules to adorn yourselves. Um... This is my favourite book. Restrain yourselves from anything that can disturb your studies for a year... Like music, accessories, mobile phones and novels. Ladies, welcome to Younghwa Academy. You're already losers. But the year ahead of you may determine your life. Please restrain yourselves from every desire and just learn to be competitive. Do your best. If you do... - Jang Na-Ri. - Yes. Go to number 33. - Shin Song-I. - Yes. Number 40 seat. - Kang Eun-Su. - Yes. Take the number 1 seat. - Lee Je-ll. - Yes. Go to number 31. - Kim Eun-Young. - Yes. Go to number 43. - Kim Bo-Ram. - Yes. Take the 25th seat. - Yoo So-Mi. - Yes. Take the 18th seat. - Lee Jae-Rong. - Yes. Go to number 14. When I first came here, I felt only confused, with both despair from failure and hope for a new start. But hope or failure were just luxury for us. If we feel hope or failure, we'd rather study. - Lee An-Na. Room number 1. - Yes. - Seo Kyung-Hwa. Room number 5. - Yes. - Kang Eun-Su. - Yes. - Lee Mi-Young. Room number 5. - Yes. Hi, I'm Lee Da-Young. Oh, I'm Kang Eun-Su. This is Kim Bo-Ram. - Hi. - Hi. You had the highest grade, right? ... What was your grade on the college entrance exam? When I first met them, Da-Young was too talkative, Eun-Su's face shone, and Yoo-Jin... She was a ***. Hi, I'm Lee Da-Young. This is Kim Bo-Ram and this is Kang Eun-Su. Let's all get along. - I can't sleep on the top bunk. - Huh? It doesn't make sense that you pick first just because you came in first. I didn't do that on purpose. I just put my stuff here for a sec. By the way... What's that stain? Didn't you know? What? There was a big fire three years ago. Didn't you know? All the kids dropped dead. Stop! Stop! The fire was burning, but the doors were locked. It must've been real hell. Can't you smell that? The smell of burning flesh. I didn't know. Everyone was said to be burnt to death, but it had nothing to do with me. The most important thing for me back then was getting good grades. [ 06:00 Get up ] Damn it! So loud. One, two, three, four, five, six. [ 06:10 Morning Attendance ] Seven. Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen. [ 06:30 Morning Exercise ] National physical exercise, start! One, two, three, four, five, six... Hello, everyone. Such a beautiful morning! [ 08:00 Class 0 ] Yes. I like your spirit. Where were we? [ 09:00 Class 1, Mathematics ] Let's read together. [ 10:00 Class 2, English ] Think about the meaning. Now, you have to read the first sentence. [ 11:00 Class 3, Society ] Usually the first sentence has all the answers. Nitrogen and oxygen. 78% of nitrogen and 21% of oxygen. [ 12:00 Class 4, Science ] [ 12:50 Lunch time ] I have no appetite. It's more brutal than my senior year. After all, we're failures. What are all those medicines? This is for headaches, this for insomnia, this to wake you up, this is vitamin, and this is a digester. No ecstasy? Damn it! When the temperature goes up by a degree... [ 14:00 Class 5, Science 2 ] It means fair opportunities for everyone... [ 15:00 Class 6, Society 2 ] Started dating D. [ 16:00 Class 7, Mathematics 2 ] Does that mean P and Q will date? No, P loved the one below. What is this? Did you recognize that? [ 17:00 Class 8, Discourse ] Yes, the answer is "wolf and whole." Here, "Kore wa." This means a dictionary. [ 18:00 Class 9, 2nd foreign language ] And "Are wa noto desu." "Are wa" means that... [ 21:00 Free studying ] Ma'am. What is it? May I go to the bathroom? Individual acts during classes or study hours are against the rules. Stand up. You may go. Even a nature's call is a violation? I guess we'll have to go at certain hours. We may have to get whipped to do a number two. If I get constipated, I should ask the housemother to spank me. ***, they're never home! Lee Da-Young. What's that? It's nothing. Then why are you hiding it? When did I hide what? - You had it hidden over there. - No. Still lying? - What's that you're hiding? - Nothing. No... It's a *** mouse. It's not a mouse. It's a hamster. Hamsters are *** mice too. Why're you talking crap? I can't live without Happy. Happy? Do you know what kind of animals hamsters are? They kill and eat each other, even their own children and parents. That's not true. That only happens when a female hamster's pregnant and super sensitive, or when they're stressed out. If you have just one and take good care of it, there's no problem. Good care? Yeah, right. It'd be so happy to be locked up and fed only veggies? Right, but you must be happy. I'm sorry. I've had it since last year and couldn't leave it at home. Please. Let's forget about it. It doesn't do any harm to us. No harm? Then what's this rotting smell? It doesn't smell like a hamster. - Okay, only on one condition. - What is it? From now on you keep my cigarettes and the lighter. If you get caught, it's all your responsibility. What? I didn't know at the moment that would be such a big deal. Seo Yoo-Jin, what happened to your pants? I've cut them. Such unusual behaviour is a violation of the rules. I didn't do any harm to anyone and I don't think hemming pants is that unusual. Then why did you cut them? It's too tight around my ankles when I sleep, so I feel uncomfortable. If I can't get good rest, then it affects my study negatively. And if it affects my study, I'm going to fail again. What a ***. I feel great. That was it... We never heard her laughter again. National physical exercise, start! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, leg exercise. One. There's one person who just can't keep up. We'll start all over again. Seo Yoo-Jin. Can you read the next sentence? Of course, it's not easy for everybody to say no, to someone who... Horrible pronunciation. Read it again. Of course, it's not easy for everybody... Again. Read slowly and think about where the stresses are. Seo Yoo-Jin. That's not the right equation. Start from scratch. Do it again. What the hell are you looking at? Damn it! Clean up your own mess. Clean it up, now. Everyone... Please continue with your meals. Damn it. Crazy ***! *** ***, I'm gonna kill her. Hey... What are you guys doing now? You must know, smoking is prohibited. There were other people. So you're saying you didn't smoke this? They were at the kitchen and in the hallway. It was crowded. What are you talking about? Don't you know everyone's in the study hall during the study hours? ***, I saw them in the hallway and in the kitchen. Yoo-Jin, what's wrong? - I'm serious. - Yoo-Jin. We were all in the study hall. It was that day that her life started to become a total mess. Good morning, Happy! It's almost time for attendance. Wake up, Yoo-Jin. Damn it, leave me alone, I can't do this anymore. Is Seo Yoo-Jin still in bed? Yes, ma'am... Well, get ready for morning exercise. National physical exercise, start! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Leg exercise, one two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven. You must obey the rules. You can't really concentrate because someone's sobbing. Let's begin when it gets quieter. Now, listen again carefully. Question two. Listen to the conversation. Think about her emotion... ***! ***! I can't put up with this *** anymore. I can't do it anymore. It's strange here. Why don't you believe me? Seo Yoo-Jin, you're supposed to be in class. Yes. Hello. Yes, of course. Some students cause trouble when they're stressed. Yes, yes... it's the adapting period. There are some girls... who take longer than others. Don't mention it. We'll take care of her. What are you talking about? Take care of me? I'm leaving now! Let me talk to her! - Let me talk to her. - No... Let go of me! - Let me go! - Yeah... I will call you later. I said I was gonna leave. What are you doing? Seo Yoo-Jin, calm down. We need your parents' permission to let you go. There are certain procedures. So calm down and give it one more try. You must overcome your weakness. *** ***. Weakness? ***... Open the door! Open the damn door! Open it! Everyone, it's almost time for bed. Please go into your rooms. Open it! I can't do that now. Why not? You have the keys! It's time to sleep. And being rude to your teacher is also against the rules. Against the rules? You're not getting it, are you? I'm going to leave now! Seo Yoo-Jin, you want to be a loser again? Open it! If you can't overcome life here, you can't do anything in the world. You want to fail again? Fail? You saying I failed because I didn't get into a college? Let me go! What's wrong with Yoo-Jin? I mean it's not too bad for me. Well, there are people who can adapt and some who just can't. You okay? You were sick all night. Look, your bed is wet. Tomorrow we'll have a practice exam. Think of it as your midterm test and do your very best. Understood? I was travelling alone back to my house. I was travelling alone back to my house. You feel bloated again? No, I've got a headache. It's getting bigger and bigger. Please go. Now! I didn't know then, what made Yoo-Jin shiver in fear... Happy. What do you want to do in college? Well. I'm going to get plastic surgery on my face and get lipo-suction. Lipo-suction? Why? Because I'm fat. Look at my arms and thighs. - What are we then? - Yeah, exactly. Why are you taking one more year? You were good enough to go to a nice college. That's right. Yeah... but in our family, we have to be the best in everything. So I have to go to the Seoul National University. I seriously don't know why we have to study. Another day... Happy, when are we going to be happy? When... Are we going to be happy? Get in, get in. Kim Sun-Mi. Lee Da-Young. Lee An-Na. Kim Seung-Hee. Here are your marks. Some of you did well, but others did worse. Those whose grades dropped twice in a row will have individual counselling. Come to the office after the meal. You okay? It's not only us who didn't have an appetite. Both those who did well and those who didn't, felt awkward and couldn't look at each other. Are you okay? Yes, I feel better now. Then clean up your mess. How are you feeling? I'm okay. It's not the first time I've thrown up anyway. I thought you had too much food earlier. I'm not good at taking notes... But I hope this helps. It's not that I'm going to help you unconditionally... Let's help each other out. Okay? Thank you. Eun-Su lent us her notes. To us, rivals, that's probably harder than showing your own diary. We were grateful and excited with hope, that we'll get better grades. Come, quick! You haven't changed at all. Thank you so much for coming all the way here. Don't mention it. Please take her back one more time. It's really up to Seo Yoo-Jin's willpower. We've done everything we could. She's always been uncontrollable. But she even promised to her father. She'll do well this time. According to our regulation... Please... Mum... Mum... Please. If you can't handle this place, then what will you do! Mum... Happy! Happy shouldn't get wet... Happy... Happy! Happy! Happy... Yoo-Jin was crying. I wasn't sure if she was crying, because she came back or because of her parents who didn't understand her. But anyway, she looked really sad. Seo Yoo-Jin, the uniform doesn't bother you anymore, huh? Isn't Yoo-Jin weird? Yeah, she's not herself. What's up with her hair? They must have beaten her up. I know... She seems like a different person. Happy... Seo Yoo-Jin, what are you doing here? Teacher, I have a question. The fire incident three years ago... Was it only a fire? Why do I see dead bodies covered with blood? I was scared at first, but now I feel sorry for them, because I know exactly how they felt. Can't you see them? They're lying all around here. Teacher! I'd like to go to the bathroom. Teacher. Bo-Ram! Kim Bo-Ram! Hurry up! Quick! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! It seems like Seo Yoo-Jin knows something. What are you talking about? How would she know? She said she sees dead bodies covered with blood. Stop talking nonsense. Ma'am, there was that one other student... That was not our fault. Forget about it. Rat! What are you doing? Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy... Next. Next. I'm sorry. Are you aware of what you've done? Health is the most important thing, especially with the exam just around the corner. How could you bring in such a filthy animal? It's not filthy. Decide... When are you going to leave? I'm sorry. If I leave, my mum will kill me. Please forgive me. I want to study here. Please forgive me. I'll study harder. I will do anything. Please forgive me. Ma'am! Why aren't you taking it down? Happy... It was a chaotic day. Everyone had to get shots for food poisoning. And Da-Young had to put Happy to death, in exchange for staying at the academy. Who was the girl I saw in the kitchen? And why isn't Yoo-Jin coming back? I didn't know back then. Maybe Yoo-Jin successfully escaped this time. I know... She's not coming back. Hey! What's the matter? Are you sick? No, I'm fine. - Umm... - Oh, what's this? I've had this since I was young. Whenever I felt weary, I prayed holding this rosary. It's pretty. Sorry, I have nothing else to give you. Hey! What am I then? I'm sorry... I'm the one who really has nothing to give you. What are you saying? We're friends. Friends... Let's kick *** on the practice test. Yeah, let's do it. Pray for me, okay? Of course. But I'm not a devoted Christian. I wonder if God will actually listen to my prayers. Isn't this impure then? What medicine is it? My head's killing me. You just took another one to stay awake. But now I have a headache. It's not good to consume so many drugs. It's okay. The big day is almost near. I'll survive. Eun-Su! - Lucky for me. - Hey! I thought I screwed up the exam. Eun-Su, you alright? Do this. Are you okay? Eun-Su! Eun-Su! Eun-Su. Eun-su was losing her smile, and our conversation was gradually decreasing. Kang Eun-Su... What's going on? Don't you want to go to a college? How can your grade drop this much? I don't know... I really don't know. With this grade, you won't be able to go to the university you want. Please pull yourself together. We only have a hundred days left. Mum, I got my grade sheet today. I increased my grade. Don't worry, Mum. Yes. Don't worry, Mum. I'm doing fine. I can do it for sure this time. Yes, yes. - Yoon Da-Hye. Number 35. - Yes. - Lee Da-Young. Number 7. - Yes. Good job! - Kang Eun-Su. - Yes. Number 37. - I'm sorry, but... - Yes? - Can I have my notes back? - Huh? It seems like you won't need them anymore. Umm... Please don't get me wrong, I have no other intention. No, thank you so much for lending it to me. Can you be quiet? My head's aching. Sorry, but this is my seat. Yoo-jin! You look so tired. Take this. Sweets are good when you're tired. Sorry, I don't like sweets. Eun-Su, is there anything I can do? I will lend you my notes. I think you need to get this right. I just wasn't feeling well that day, that's why I messed up the test. Do you think I need your help? - I didn't mean that... - You think I don't know? I know you guys stay up and study while I sleep. What are you talking about? Time flew by and Eun-Su became stranger and stranger. K2, plus 1, minus sigma... K from 1 to 9... Shut up! With these marks you can't go to any university. What happened? You came here with the highest grade! I just don't get it. If your grade goes down again, we'll take necessary measures. Ma'am... When did Yoo-Jin come back? She doesn't come into the room, but she's always sitting at my desk. I tell her it's my seat, but she doesn't budge. What are you saying? And she talks too much in the class. I can't study because of her. Please warn her. And she always wanders about during the study hours. I can't take it anymore. Oh, class is starting. What's wrong with you? My head hurts, and my body is so cold. That's not enough. I hear things... and see weird stuff. My head is pounding. It's okay. It's because of stress. Take the drugs and sleep. Don't worry too much. Everyone's having a hard time. You'll soon be fine. I promise. Come on. Take them. Seriously, something's weird. Are you okay? Am I okay? Do I look okay? Didn't you say you'd pray for me? I pray for you all the time. You pray for me... and what's happened to me? You probably didn't pray... rather you cursed me. So that you can step on top of me and beat me. No, Eun-Su. What's wrong? That's right, I thought it was strange. Since the day you gave me this I've had bad luck. Eun-Su, don't do this! Eun-Su. Had I not entered then, Eun-Su could've killed Da-Young. Why didn't I... notice then Eun-Su was going through a tough time? Number 45, sit down. Number 45, sit down! Number 45! I'm sorry for what I did earlier. Please forgive me. And lend me your notes. I have no idea what to study. Help me. Please help... What's wrong with me? I really studied hard. You said all I needed to do was study hard. And why isn't it working? Should we call an ambulance? Give her some tranquilizer. She's stressed... What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me? Don't touch me! Today is the last day for a practice exam. Think of it as a real test and do your best. Kang Eun-Su... Are you alright? Yes, I'm good. Eun-Su looked very strange. But that's not only her problem. Time went so fast. And girls got nervous because D-day was coming. The D-day we've been waiting for is only three days away. Let's get through this... Bring yourselves to best condition. I'm sure all your efforts will be rewarded. Please pack your stuff and get ready to leave the academy. When did you find Happy? We're going to pack our bags today and leave tomorrow morning. Hello? Hello? Ma'am. Keys... How strange... Why isn't anybody here? What are you doing here? Happy... Where's everyone going? I'm not ready to leave yet. Ladies, welcome to Younghwa Academy. You're already losers. But the year ahead of you may determine your life. Please restrain yourselves from every desire and just learn to be competitive. Do your best. If you do your best, victory will be yours. You think so? All we need to do... is to do our best? There was a big fire at a college prep school in Dae-jeon around 1am this morning. [ Gas explosion in Yonghwa academy ] Police said a gas tank exploded and killed most of the students and teachers. The same thing happened three years ago at the same place. [ Casualties : Kim Eun-Young, Ahn So-Young, Lee Ji-Eun, Go Sung-Kyung ] Then, again the school was illegally established. [ Ahn Ye-Jin, Woo Myung-Hye, Suk Young-Ah, Lee Tae-Young ] Due to strict regulations, the students had been completely shut off from the outside world. This led to heavy casualties. [ Park Ji-Jeong, Seo Oh-Kyng, Lee Jae-Eun, Kim Yoon-Joo ] The Education Board conducted special inspections [ Ahn Hye-Jin, Yang Ji-Hye, Kang Eun-Su, Lee Da-Young ] in February and July, but didn't notice the institute's wrongdoings. There were many suspicions. But it concluded; by accidental fire. People said it was about an entrance examination, but they didn't concentrate on our one year like a hell. Soon, the accident was forgotten. And another academy was built. Next news... At a studio apartment in Seoul, there was a serial *** incident. I had the last job interview today. I've been trying hard to get a job, but it's not easy. Every day was like a battlefield... Eight years ago, I thought I'd be happy if I put up with one more year of studying, but my life has been painful all along. The train is coming now, please take one step back. - Bo-Ram. - Kim Bo-Ram! Kim Bo-Ram, how are you? How would other friends be? I sometimes wonder.
