- [female student] Good morning.
- [male student] Morning.

[indistinct chatter]

[footsteps approaching]

[woman grunts softly]

[Park Hyeong-seok] Uh.

[grunts] Ugh.

[Park Hyeong-seok] The way
people look at me...


[gentle music playing]

[Park Hyeong-seok] I'm him, but...

- Here you go. Uh... Oh.
- [woman grunts]

- [clicks tongue]
- [Park Hyeong-seok] They look at me

in a completely different way.

[doorbell rings]

- [music fades]
- [exhales deeply]

Huh?

[Park Ji-ho breathes deeply]

[sighs]

[Park Hyeong-seok] Oh, he keeps glancing
at me. I wonder why.


[Park Ji-ho sighs]

- Excuse me.
- [breathes deeply]

- [grunts]
- [Park Hyeong-seok] Wait. Hey, stop!

["Like That" playing]

["Like That" concludes]

- [dramatic music playing]
- [pants]

[coughs, pants]

[Park Hyeong-seok] Uh, excuse me.

[pants]

- [Park Ji-ho whimpers]
- [Park Hyeong-seok pants]

[pants]

[exclaims]

- Come on.
- [Park Ji-ho groans]

- You couldn't even jack that?
- Look, he brought a pig too.

- Hey. [grunts]
- [grunts]

Take another look
at this and maybe let this slide.

[Park Hyeong-seok sighs]

But I'll get fired
if I pretend I didn't know about this.

[chuckles] So, it's okay
if I put this on the internet then?

- Oh, but, you'd said you'd be...
- Hey, that picture isn't doing anything

- to keep him quiet.
- Yeah.

- [groans]
- Let's just take another one.

- [Lee Hyeon-do laughs]
- [Park Hyeong-seok groans]

[Lee Hyeon-do] Shall we?

So, what picture should we take?

Hmm. Oh, hey. Why don't we make
these losers fight each other?

- [Park Hyeong-seok] What?
- [grunts]

- That sounds fun. Good idea.
- [groans]

Come, fight each other
and we'll see who wins.

- [Park Ji-ho grunts]
- Huh, Park Ji-ho?

[suspenseful music playing]

[grunts] Jeez.

[pants] Sorry.

- [gasps]
- [grunts]

- [grunts]
- [all laugh]

- [Jang Gi-seok jeering]
- [Park Han-gyeol laughing]

- He's terrible at this.
- All right. I'll be nice.

Park Ji-ho, if you win,
I'll let you graduate

- from being an errand boy.
- [Basco] Stop that right now.

- [grunts]
- [music fades]

- [Lee Hyeon-do] Huh?
- Huh?

- [Han-gyeol grunts]
- [Jang Gi-seok] Huh?

- [rock music playing]
- [Lee Hyeon-do] Basco!

- [groans]
- Huh? Basco?

- [Basco grunts]
- [Lee Hyeon-do grunts]

You boys are the bad guys here?

I... I'm sorry, just let me go
this one time. [grunts]

[exhales, coughs]

[Park Hyeong-seok]
Wow, he's amazingly strong.

Shut up and go home.

- [all scream]
- [grunts]

- [all grunt, pant]
- [Park Hyeong-seok] Uh...

- [both exclaim]
- [music fades]

And I think you two should,
uh, work out or something.

- Uh, yeah, thank you.
- Hmm? What did you say, kiddo?

Oh, uh, thank you.

- Hmm? What?
- [Park Ji-ho] Uh, your earbuds.

- [Basco] Oh, right.
- Thank you, Basco.

Do I know you? We at the same school?

Yeah. I'm Park Ji-ho.
Tenth grade. Fashion class.

Oh, wait, you're in Fashion classes too?
The same class?

- The same class?
- What I mean is that I, uh...

Is that the class
with the new student?

Yeah, it is.

[Park Hyeong-seok]
They're talking about me.

Be sure to let him know,
don't go messing around.

Uh, what?

[Park Hyeong-seok]
Why is he crying all of a sudden?

[cheerful music playing]

JAEWON HIGH SCHOOL

[teacher] I see that Park Ji-ho's absent
today, and let's see...

Mm, okay, morning assembly's over.

[Park Hyeong-seok]
I wonder if something happened.

- [Lee Jin-seong groans]
- [Park Hyeong-seok grunts]

[teacher] Oh, right. Uh, whoever
is on cleaning duty, please tidy up

- after class.
- [students] Yes, sir.

[Park Ha-neul]
Oh, Basco from Architecture class?

- What about him?
- Huh? Oh, I...

- I was just curious.
- Well, his real name is Lee Eun-tae.

He assembled the Burn Knuckle g*ng
in the Architecture class

- which he's the leader of.
- Leader?

He's nice to the weak,
but hates show-offs.

- [snarls]
- A brawny idiot. That's who Basco is.

[groans] What are you doing?

You're interrupting
my super romantic lunch with Hyeong-seok.

Hey, don't be like that.

We want to be friends
with Hyeong-seok too.

- Mm-hmm.
- Huh? Uh.

- Hey.
- [Lee Hyeon-do] Huh?

- Look.
- [grunts]

[Jang Gi-seok] Burn Knuckle g*ng.

[intense music playing]

- Huh? It's Basco.
- [gasps]

Huh?

- Huh?
- Hmm.

[gasps]

[grunts] Hey, Basco.

- You done eating, are you?
- Let's hurry out.

[grunts]

- Yesterday.
- Yesterday?

[groans]

[Park Hyeong-seok] Oh, right,
that wasn't me.


Are you trying to avenge
those friends of yours from yesterday?

- [Park Hyeong-seok] Huh?
- I knew you were a bad guy.

There he goes.

[Basco] No one ever taught you
a lesson, did they?

Don't you go messing around

just because you've got
a pretty face and a knack for fighting.

- [groans]
- [grunts]

[rock music playing]

[students gasp]

[grunts]

Yeah, Basco!
The shoulder knuckle grab.

Wait, stop that.
What are you doing? Don't!

Don't get yourself hurt.
No one in the world can stop him now.

[female student ] Look!
Look, they're fighting.

- [Lee Jin-seong] Hmm?
- [Park Hyeong-seok groans]

[female student ] This is bad!
Should I take a video as evidence?

- [Lee Jin-seong] What?
- [groans]

- [Basco grunts]
- [yelps]

[Park Beom-jae] Basco's too strong,
no one can escape his grasp.

[groans] I'm sorry if I offended you.

[grunts]

- I only said that because you looked like...
- [Basco groans]

...someone I met yesterday.

[students exclaim]

Huh? He escaped the knuckle?

- Oh, no way. He's doing it one handed.
- [Lee Jin-seong exhales]

[Park Hyeong-seok grunts]

I must have confused you
with somebody else.

[groans]

[grunts]

- [grunts]
- [music fades]

[laughs]

Ah, yeah, of course.
Looks like you got him mixed up

with someone else.

- Uh, yeah, I'm sorry.
- [chuckles]

It's okay, that happens.
Am I right, Basco?

[grunts]

And, uh, lunch break's going
to be over soon.

So, come on, let's eat.
[chuckles] Let's go, Basco.

- [grunts]
- [Park Beom-jae sighs]

- Why did you stop him, Park Beom-jae?
- [Park Beom-jae sighs]

That little punk was annoying.

- You should've let Basco knock him out.
- No, it's not that.

Basco's the one
who would've been knocked out.

[eerie music plays]

- [chuckles] You really are something else!
- [grunts]

- Basco is freakishly strong.
- Oh, I... I... I was just...

But I didn't fight him.

- [Park Hyeong-seok] Huh?
- [all] Hyeong-seok,

- why don't we be friends?
- [Park Hyeong-seok] Uh...

- Hmm. What are you up to?
- I'm not up to anything, 'kay?

Yeah, so, why don't we hang out?
That way we can all get closer.

We're friends now.
Let's have some fun.

Some fun?

[soft music playing]

With my friends? [gasps]

- Yeah, we're friends now.
- [exclaims] What a good idea!

- I wasn't asking you to join.
- So, what is it then?

- Huh?
- Don't you want to?

No, I'd love that, truly.

How long have I waited for a day
like this, hanging out with friends?


- [Park Ha-neul] Let's hang out...
- Huh?

- ...Hyeong-seok, and have some fun.
- [laughs]

[Park Ha-neul] Hyeong-seok.

- [Lee Hyeon-do] Hyeong-seok.
- [Park Han-gyeol] Hyeong-seok.

[Jang Gi-seok] Hyeong-seok.

[whimsical music playing]

[music fades]

Huh? [gasps]

JEONGOL DELICACY

- [Park Ha-neul exhales] Oh, gosh.
- [Jang Gi-seok] Oh, please.

- [Park Ha-neul] Hyeong-seok is so my type.
- [Jang Gi-seok] You say that

- about everyone.
- What is this?

[Park Ha-neul] What do you mean
I'm moving in on him?

- [Park Ha-neul] He does like me!
- [Jang Gi-seok] You say everyone

- likes you. Oh, just stop.
- [Park Ha-neul] Oh, Hyeong-seok.

- [Park Han-gyeol] Good to see ya.
- Any trouble finding us?

- Hey take a seat.
- [Park Hyeong-seok] Hmm. Oh, uh...

This is not what I thought it would be.

- Come sit down, Hyeong-seok.
- [chuckles] You're ready to get drunk?

- [soft music playing]
- [grunts softly]

[Park Ha-neul] Hyeong-seok,
you look great out of your uniform too.

Oh, thank you.

It's just a plain top,
but it looks great on your frame.

It's a bit big for you, though.

Oh, it... Well, it's my friend's.

- Your friend must be pretty big then, huh?
- [Park Han-gyeol] Hmm?

- [suspenseful music playing]
- Huh?

- [Park Hyeong-seok] Lee Jin-seong?
- Hey, bro.

We were just about to get started.

- What are you doing here?
- Uh...

- Hey, don't be like that.
- It's a surprise, a surprise!

We've got your favorite,
so loosen up, huh?

- Here.
- [music fades]

Hyeong-seok, you too.

- Here.
- Oh, uh, no, thanks.

- Drinking isn't my thing.
- Aw, what a crock of bullshit.

[chuckles] Oh, that's all right.
I'm a lightweight too.

[exhales]

[Park Ha-neul] Hyeong-seok,
you haven't had a drink,

- but your face is red.
- [grunts]

- [Lee Jin-seong groans]
- [Park Ha-neul chuckling]

- [Hyeong-seok] This is so awkward.
- [Lee Hyeon-do] Hyeong-seok,

it's okay, just drink.

- We'll get you home if you pass out.
- Right, where do you live?

- I just live on my own now.
- [gasps] Jackpot.

Why are you all flustered?

You live by yourself?
You're in a class of your own!

- Oh, we could use it as our hideout.
- Sounds great.

- [Park Hyeong-seok] Oh, you can't.
- [both] Huh?

- I live with my friend, so...
- Your friend?

- Oh, who lent you the top?
- Huh? Right.

- Is he in high school?
- Oh, it's, uh, really, actually...

He dropped out of school already.

He works at night
and sleeps during the day.

So, I can't let you use it as a hideout.

He dropped out of school
and works at night?

[all exclaim]

[Jang Gi-seok]
That's the sort of guy he lives with?

[Park Han-gyeol]
He's more dangerous than we thought.

[Lee Hyeon-do exhales]

- Hey, hey, take it easy.
- [groans softly]

Yeah, yeah. Fill it up.

That reminds me, why isn't Mi-jin here?

Mi-jin doesn't like hanging out like this.

Yeah, that's right.
She hates us fighting.

- She's innocent, unlike Ha-neul.
- [groans]

What? [snarls]

How did you two start dating then?

Huh?

[Park Hyeong-seok] Oh,
it's just you two seem pretty different

and I was wondering
how you two got together.

[Park Ha-neul exhales]
They aren't actually dating.

[Lee Jin-seong grunts]

He told her he liked her
and they went on a date.

Oh, really? Sorry.

- I... I assumed you guys were together.
- What?

You two looked so great together.

[groans] You're...

- [groans]
- [Park Han-gyeol] Huh?

- ...really...
- [gasps]

...a super great guy, aren't you? [chuckles]

- What the...
- Wait, is he, uh...

[Lee Jin-seong groans]

- Come on, drink up, drink. [laughs]
- I told you I... I can't drink.

And I'm sorry
about punching you yesterday.

- I really didn't mean to.
- Ah, I'm a boxer, man.

No grudges. [chuckles]

[chuckles] If you want to apologize,
take a drink.

Well, at least they made up.
The power of alcohol.

Well, that was a relief.

Huh? What are you talking about, man?
Hmm?

Oh, yesterday, we told Park Ji-ho

to steal a cell phone charger
and Basco interfered.

Basco?

- We need someone strong...
- [Lee Jin-seong groans]

...so those guys will know
not to mess with us.

Nothing to fear with Jin-seong
and Hyeong-seok with us.

Yeah, that's right! That's right.
Nothing to be scared of. [groans]

- [snoring]
- This is all Park Ji-ho's fault.

- If that little jerk didn't get caught.
- Damn, he's such a pathetic bastard.

[all laugh]

- [Park Hyeong-seok breathes deeply]
- [Lee Hyeon-do] Oh, hey.

- I took a funny video yesterday.
- [gasps]

- Huh? Video of what?
- A real loser's brawl.

[gulping, coughs]

- I've got a picture too.
- [Park Hyeong-seok coughing]

[Park Ha-neul] What picture?

- [Park Hyeong-seok pants]
- [Lee Hyeon-do] Wanna see?

This is funny stuff. [gasps]

[all exclaim]

- Crushed the phone with one hand.
- [gulps]

There's no way.

[moans]

You shouldn't be taking
such weird pictures.

- Whoa.
- [Park Hyeong-seok pants]

That was... that was my phone.

- Hyeong-seok, are you okay?
- [Park Hyeong-seok] Huh?

Oh, my eyelids feel so heavy.

- [groans]
- [thuds]

[objects clattering]

[gasps]

I fell asleep.

[groans] I have to get back
to sleep right now.

[grunts, snores]

[somber music playing]

[weeps] Hyeong-seok,
please forgive me, just this once.

Oh, Lee Tae-seong? Huh?

Oh, hi, honey. Please come.
Have some ramen.

I put eggs in it.

Oh! Huh? Mom?

- What's going on?
- [music fades]

[Park Hyeong-seok sighs]

It was a dream. [sighs]

[grunts] Whoa. I didn't change bodies.

- [grunts, pants]
- [intense music playing]

[Park Hyeong-seok]
That body didn't disappear, did it?

- [all exclaim]
- [gasps] No, Hyeong-seok!

[Park Hyeong-seok] Oh, come on!
Hurry up, you pig!


We should give him some cold water.

How can you make
a sleeping person drink water?

You shouldn't have forced him
to drink in the first place.

- What? Not our fault.
- Park Hyeong-seok, wake up.

[Park Han-gyeol]
He's completely out of it.

[pants]

- [Park Han-gyeol] Hmm?
- [Park Hyeong-seok panting]

- [exhales]
- [Lee Hyeon-do] Wait a second.

You're that pig
from the convenience store.

[gasps]

- Oh, no.
- What's with him?

[exhales]

- [laughs] Hyeong-seok.
- [all] Hyeong-seok.

[music fades]

[Park Hyeong-seok groans softly]

[Lee Jin-seong]
Nice to see you again, pig.

- [grunts]
- [groans]

- [gasps]
- Huh? Why are you here?

I, uh, I'm here to pick up my friend.

- Your friend?
- Yeah. Hyeong-seok.

- [Park Han-gyeol] Huh?
- What?

Huh? Don't lie to us.

- You're Hyeong-seok's friend?
- I... It's true.

Oh, are you the friend he lives with then?

Oh, I, um, his roommate told me
that I have to come down here and get him.

[Park Han-gyeol grunts]

[Lee Hyeon-do]
The thug must have told him to do it.

- Oh, poor piggy, yeah.
- [grunts]

Are you still running errands
at this late hour? Oh, you.

[Jang Gi-seok exhales deeply]

[grunts]

Huh? Man, I haven't played
with one of these in a while.

- [Park Han-gyeol] Hey.
- [Lee Hyeon-do] I used to play

with this all the time.

- Have any money?
- Huh? Yeah.

- [scoffs]
- [coins clinking]

- [machine whirs]
- [heavy metal music playing]

- Pig, watch me.
- [Park Hyeong-seok] Mm.

Keep your arm right next
to your cheek to guard yourself,

feet shoulders-width apart,
arms parallel with each other,

and your hips should be
the center of balance.

- This is the basic stance.
- [Park Hyeong-seok] Huh? Okay.

Now, you take a step forward
and your weight should shift

from your hips,
to your shoulders, to your fists.

- That is a straight.
- Uh?

Um, why are you teaching me
a boxing stance?

[grunts]

- Whoa, that's amazing.
- [machine beeping]

[Park Han-gyeol] Wow, a new record.

- You really have that special something.
- Well, none of it matters, if they dodge.

[music fades]

Hey, piggy, make sure you don't get
yourself punched anymore, all right?

[retches]

That's what you get
for throwing a punch when you get drunk.

- [groans]
- Let's go home.

- [Lee Jin-seong groans]
- The pig says he'll take Hyeong-seok home.

I've got curfew too. [chuckles]

- Oh... Mm. [exhales]
- Hmm? Hmm.

[exhales] Keep your arm right
by your cheek, feet shoulder-width apart,


arms parallel with each other,
your hips should be


the center of balance.

Step forward and shift your weight
from your hips to your shoulders.


Hold your fists straight.

[grunts]

[groans]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[pants]

- [Park Beom-jae exhales sharply]
- [Basco] Hmm.

- [rock music playing]
- [Basco gasps]

[Park Beom-jae] Like this.
Protect the wrist if you can.

Now, straighten your back like this.
See what I mean?

- What is it?
- [groans softly]

Huh?

[grunts]

[grunts]

- [both exclaim]
- Yeah!

- That's Basco for you.
- Nice, with just one punch.

- So awesome.
- Whoa, that was sick.

Nice. It's a new record.
Basco, can I use the bonus?

Huh! I would have got over a thousand,
if only my shoulder wasn't still tender.

[Park Beom-jae] Oh Yi-ra, you've become

quite the big talker
since I last met you, huh?

It's true. I fought
the Biz Ed guys last week,

- three on one.
- [all laugh]

[Oh Yi-ra] Wha... I... I swear.

[music fades]

[female student ] Gosh, I can't believe
how handsome he is!

[female student ] It's like he walked off
the pages of a manga.

- [Park Ha-neul] Hyeong-seok.
- [female student ] He is so my type.

- So, how are you feeling today?
- Oh, I'm fine.

I waited until the alcohol wore off.

[snores]

Then I was able
to wake up in this body.


- [female student ] Hey, sit here.
- [female student ] Oh, thanks.

- God, I'm starving.
- Huh? Ji-ho?

[gasps] Uh, ah!

Why didn't you come to school yesterday?

[Park Ji-ho]
I couldn't wake up yesterday morning.

The guys made me go out the night before,
so I didn't get any sleep.

And they

reminded me that I can't miss any school
'cause I have to do their errands.

- [Park Hyeong-seok] I'm glad though.
- [gasps]

- I was worried.
- [soft music playing]

Worried?

- Why is he acting so friendly?
- [female student ] Hey,

- isn't that Park Ji-ho?
- [female student ] Huh?

Who's Park Ji-ho?

[female student ] You... you know, Ji-ho.
He's... he's in our Fashion class.

[female student ] Oh, that loser?

[Park Ha-neul]
Why is Hyeong-seok talking to him?

[Park Hyeong-seok] If it's okay with you,
can we eat together?

- [gasps]
- [chuckles softly]

Whoa.

- What's with Park Ji-ho?
- How do those guys know each other?

Those two look so weird together.

- [music fades]
- [inaudible dialogues]

[birds chirping]

- [snores]
- [alarm beeping]

[door chimes, unlocks]

[suspenseful music playing]

Huh? Uh... uh, Hyeong-seok.

- Why aren't you at school?
- [snores]

[music fades]
