00:32However, her position is threatened by the arrival of Woo Sel-gi, a transfer student raised in an orphanage.
00:39Sel-gi is intelligent and reserved, but she quickly catches Jai-ai's attention, sparking an unexpected rivalry that gradually becomes something else.
00:48Welcome to A Drama Story.
00:49In this video, I will tell you the story of the Korean drama Friendly Rivalry.
00:55Woo Sel-gi is an orphaned girl attending a prestigious school, where only the richest and most beautiful girls in Korea are admitted.
01:02There, everyone is obsessed with perfect beauty.
01:05Indeed, all the students carry ultra-expensive designer bags, and no one pays attention to her because she wears a rural school uniform.
01:12One day, she meets Yoo Jai-yi, the reigning queen of the school, known for her perfect grades and admired by all the girls.
01:22Sel-gi never imagined they would share the same classroom, and when the teacher asks Jai-yi to choose a desk partner, the students eagerly anticipate being picked by the school's goddess.
01:32To everyone's shock, Jai-yi decides to sit next to Sel-gi, the outcast.
01:39Jai-yi introduces herself in a friendly manner, but Sel-gi suspects she is hiding something, making their initial interactions uneasy.
01:48Later, one of the girls offers Sel-gi money to switch seats, and since she is poor, she accepts.
01:53At that moment, Jai-yi walks into the bathroom looking for her desk partner to have lunch together.
01:59Another girl, thinking Jai-yi is referring to her, smiles excitedly, but to her surprise, Jai-yi takes Sel-gi's hand and pulls her away.
02:08As they walk together, whispers spread among the students, shocked that Jai-yi is associating with such a poor girl.
02:15Not only did she personally choose Sel-gi as her deskmate, but she also includes her in her friend group, despite the group's reluctance to accept her.
02:25In the end, they comply because Jai-yi is the school's ultimate authority.
02:29At this point, Jai-yi's background is revealed.
02:33Her father is a wealthy hospital owner obsessed with perfection.
02:36Even before she was born, he was determined to make her the best at everything.
02:40He ensured that his wife gave birth on a specific day to guarantee her good fortune.
02:46Fortune tellers predicted she would achieve great success in life, and from an early age, she showed exceptional talent in both academics and sports.
02:55While her mother was proud of her, her father demanded that she always be number one.
03:00His expectations were relentless, and whenever she got an answer wrong, he would punish her, physically enforcing the lesson that she had to be the best.
03:09Jai-yi grew up in an unstable environment and started dating all kinds of boys, most of whom only wanted to take her to bed.
03:16However, she built a protective shell around herself and never let things go that far.
03:21Eventually, she began attending parties and became the queen of the scene, drinking and smoking while exuding an effortless coolness that made her even more desirable due to her mysterious aura.
03:34However, a girl with bangs warns Jai-yi that anyone who stays close to Jai-yi never has a peaceful day.
03:42Jai-yi decides to switch seats, and when Jai-yi returns, she immediately questions her about it.
03:49Jai-yi lies, claiming she is nearsighted and can't see the board properly.
03:54Jai-yi responds that they could have switched seats together, and realizing that Jai-yi is intentionally keeping her distance, returns to her seat, visibly irritated.
04:03Later, the students mock Seulgi's old uniform, prompting her to buy a second-hand one since she can't afford a new one.
04:12The next day, a girl obsessed with Jai-yi notices the uniform and deliberately spills strawberry juice on it.
04:19She sneers, saying that Seulgi's shirt smells poor, and that no matter how hard she tries to fit in, she will always be nothing more than a beggar.
04:28The other students burst into laughter, and their ridicule triggers painful memories of the severe bullying Seulgi endured in the past.
04:37At that moment, she finally understands the warning about how being close to Jai-yi guarantees a difficult life.
04:43She goes to clean her shirt, but suddenly, Jai-yi embraces her, attempting to ease her stress, and offers her a new outfit.
04:54However, Seulgi refuses, insisting that accepting it will only bring her more trouble, and asks Jai-yi to stay away from her.
05:02Jai-yi is visibly hurt by her words, and in frustration, throws the shirt to the ground before storming off.
05:09As a result, Seulgi is left with no choice but to continue wearing the stained clothes in front of everyone.
05:16In the cafeteria, Seulgi notices her classmates whispering while looking at their phones.
05:21Fed up with the constant humiliation, she snatches a girl's phone and discovers that someone anonymously posted a photo of her, buying the second-hand uniform online.
05:31To make matters worse, former students of the school have joined the online bullying, flooding the comments with insults.
05:37Her life at school turns into a nightmare, and to make things even worse, she soon learns that the only way to pass the school's exams is by taking private tutoring sessions outside the institution,
05:49because that's where the actual test questions come from.
05:52This is a grave injustice, as Seulgi cannot afford private lessons.
05:57Determined to find another way, she opts for Plan B, sneaking into the class and secretly recording everything.
06:03However, she gets caught, and the teacher treats her like a criminal, relentlessly chasing after her.
06:11Fortunately, Jae-yi finds her just in time, handing her a hat to help her go unnoticed, allowing Seulgi to slip away while the teacher loses her trail.
06:18Afterward, the kind-hearted Jae-yi continues to support Seulgi and takes her to her family's hospital, where a doctor gives Seulgi some suspicious pills.
06:29Then, the doctor opens a locker and hands her a brand-new uniform that had been specially prepared for her.
06:34Jae-yi then asks Seulgi to take off her clothes, and unable to refuse, Seulgi complies.
06:39As she undresses, Jae-yi notices a scar near Seulgi's chest, a painful reminder of the bullying she endured at her previous school.
06:46Realizing how much she has suffered, Jae-yi decides to give her her own necktie as a gift.
06:53However, she deliberately does not provide her with shoes, ensuring that Seulgi won't run away.
06:59Seulgi feels down, knowing she is bound to fail at school.
07:04Sensing her despair, Jae-yi reveals stolen exam papers and offers them to Seulgi.
07:09On one condition, she must share her study methods.
07:12Suddenly, they hear voices approaching and quickly hide inside a locker.
07:17It's Jae-yi's two friends, who begin gossiping about Seulgi, mocking her for being an orphan.
07:23To shield Seulgi from the hurtful truth, Jae-yi forces a smile, pretending not to care.
07:29However, her phone suddenly rings, raising the girls' suspicions.
07:34They move closer to the locker, ready to investigate,
07:36but at that moment, Jae-yi quickly sends them a message, telling them she's waiting to study.
07:42The girls rush off to find her, giving Seulgi a chance to escape.
07:47Then, Seulgi stumbles upon a shocking revelation.
07:51The doctor responsible for the negligent surgery that caused her father's death is none other than Jae-yi's father.
07:57This discovery changes everything between them.
07:59The next day, Seulgi approaches Jae-yi in the classroom and, in a bold move, offers to sit beside her.
08:07To everyone's surprise, Jae-yi accepts, creating a thick tension between them.
08:13Soon, the election for class president arrives, and everyone expects Jae-yi to take the position.
08:19However, in a stunning turn of events, Jae-yi requests that Seulgi be nominated instead, causing an uproar.
08:28But no one dares to oppose her, as they all fear her father, a man of immense power and influence.
08:35The nerd grows frustrated with the situation, but Seulgi simply tells her to accept defeat.
08:41Since Jae-yi helped her, Seulgi now owes her a favor.
08:45Jae-yi's request is simple.
08:47She wants Seulgi to accompany her to karaoke.
08:50Despite being incredibly popular, Jae-yi has very few real friends.
08:55Slowly, Seulgi begins to warm up to her and starts seeing her as a friend.
09:01Afterward, Jae-yi takes Seulgi to her mansion, a massive estate worth millions of dollars.
09:07While exploring, Seulgi encounters a small dog that startles her, but Jae-yi reassures her that he is well-trained and obedient.
09:14They continue their tour until they arrive at Jae-yi's magnificent bedroom.
09:19Suddenly, the little dog brings out a princess dress, the exact same one Seulgi wore on the day her parents disappeared.
09:26Overwhelmed with emotion, Seulgi decides to open up to Jae-yi about her past as an orphan.
09:33Jae-yi praises her courage and tries to make her laugh to ease the tension.
09:37Unexpectedly, Jae-yi takes off her jacket, catching Seulgi off guard and making her avert her gaze in embarrassment.
09:45As Jae-yi continues undressing, Seulgi, flustered, decides to take a bath.
09:50However, her imagination plays tricks on her.
09:53She fantasizes about Jae-yi stepping into the bathtub with her, the two of them playfully splashing in the foam.
10:00The scene flusters her so much that she doesn't know where to look.
10:04Jae-yi appears sweet and playful, and in the midst of their laughter, she gives Seulgi a soft, passionate kiss.
10:11But of course, it's all just a dream.
10:13The thought unsettles Seulgi to the point where she can't sleep.
10:17Later, while using Jae-yi's phone, Seulgi stumbles upon some suspicious messages.
10:23Upon reading them, she discovers that Jae-yi has information about her childhood and has always known she was an orphan.
10:30Confused, she begins to question Jae-yi's true intentions.
10:35The next morning, Jae-yi notices that Seulgi is no longer in bed, but she remains unfazed.
10:41Unbeknownst to Seulgi, Jae-yi has secretly installed a tracker on her phone, allowing her to monitor her location at all times.
10:49With this reassurance, Jae-yi cheerfully heads to class.
10:53However, she is completely unprepared for what awaits her.
10:57Seulgi now despises her and avoids her at all costs.
11:01Jae-yi feels hurt by Seulgi's distrust, though deep down, she knows there must be a reason behind it.
11:08Later, the teacher hands back the student's writing assignments, and Seulgi realizes that hers is missing.
11:14Jae-yi immediately loses her temper, demanding that everyone help find it.
11:18Soon, she notices copies of Seulgi's essay scattered across every desk in the classroom.
11:25Panicking, Jae-yi frantically gathers the papers from the student's hands, because the essay contains deeply personal details about Seulgi's difficult childhood, something she never wanted to be exposed.
11:36Jae-yi vows to find out who is responsible, but Seulgi coldly tells her to stop pretending to be kind.
11:42She sees her as nothing more than a cruel person.
11:46Then, Seulgi stumbles upon a damning video of Jae-yi humiliating a fellow classmate.
11:52In the footage, Jae-yi threatens to expose the girl for using illegal substances to enhance her academic performance.
11:59Desperate, the girl falls to her knees, begging Jae-yi to keep it a secret.
12:03However, instead of showing mercy, Jae-yi further degrades her, saying she will only delete the video if the girl transfers to another school.
12:13Disturbed by Jae-yi's ruthlessness, Seulgi confronts her.
12:16But instead of showing remorse, Jae-yi takes pride in what she did, revealing that the girl she humiliated was actually the bully who tormented Seulgi in the past.
12:25Realizing just how unsettling Jae-yi's behavior is, Seulgi demands to know why there is information about her and her father inside Jae-yi's house.
12:34With an air of arrogance, Jae-yi refuses to answer.
12:38At that moment, Seulgi drops a shocking revelation.
12:42She was the one who deliberately spread the essays around the school, making sure everyone knew that Jae-yi's father was responsible for her own father's death.
12:51Jae-yi is caught off guard by Seulgi's cunning move.
12:53But before she can respond, chaos erupts in the school.
12:58Many students suddenly start menstruating at the same time, disrupting their studies.
13:03The class nerd panics, but to her surprise, Seulgi helps her by massaging her hand to ease her pain.
13:10This unexpected act of kindness marks the beginning of a budding friendship between them.
13:16However, Seulgi soon realizes that her miracle study pills have run out, and her confidence begins to crumble.
13:23Desperate for more, she tries to obtain them again, but the doctor refuses, revealing that the pills are illegal substances.
13:31Driven by desperation, Seulgi turns to an online dealer and arranges to buy the drugs in secret.
13:38But when she arrives at the meeting point, she is shocked to find that the seller is none other than Jae-yi herself, who has been using this as a way to make extra money.
13:46Jae-yi explains that she normally does not meet clients in person, but made an exception for Seulgi.
13:54Unfortunately, the pills Seulgi had been taking are out of stock, so Jae-yi offers her an even stronger version.
14:02Upon taking the substance, Seulgi experiences intense hallucinations, but at the same time, her concentration skyrockets.
14:09As a result, she performs exceptionally well on the exam, tying with Jae-yi for the top rank in the school.
14:17The two of them share the podium, enraging the wealthy students, who refuse to accept that Seulgi has reached the same level as Jae-yi.
14:26Additionally, the wealthy students, who spend a fortune on private lessons, refuse to accept that a poor girl has outperformed them.
14:33Seulgi becomes the target of mockery and ridicule, lowering her head in sadness as she walks away.
14:40At that moment, a mysterious young man greets her, making her anxious that someone might see them.
14:46She urges him to leave immediately.
14:49However, Yeri notices them, and jumps to the conclusion that he must be Seulgi's secret lover.
14:56Later, Seulgi meets the young man at a shopping mall, revealing that he is an old acquaintance from her past,
15:01someone she used to work with in theft.
15:04He threatens her, demanding that she return the stolen pills, or he will expose the truth about her.
15:09He gives her a week to hand over the drugs.
15:12To make matters worse, Seulgi learns that the school is planning a medical exam to detect any students
15:17who may have used illegal substances to cheat on their tests.
15:21Knowing she will test positive due to the pills she took, she panics.
15:25At the hospital, Seulgi escapes to the rooftop and finds Jae-yi standing on the edge, seemingly ready to jump.
15:33Terrified, Seulgi grabs her, but Jae-yi remains motionless, suspended between life and death.
15:40Desperate, Seulgi falls to her knees, pleading with her not to do it.
15:44With unnerving calm, Jae-yi reveals that all she really wants is for Seulgi's stepmother
15:49to withdraw the lawsuit against her father for medical negligence.
15:53Seulgi agrees, but only on one condition.
15:56Jae-yi must help her pass the upcoming medical exam.
15:59Jae-yi consents and provides her with a clean urine sample.
16:03Yoo promises to always take care of Seulgi,
16:06and confesses that she is genuinely happy they tied for first place in school.
16:10That night, while everyone is asleep, Seulgi switches the urine samples,
16:16hoping no one will uncover her secret.
16:18Seulgi can't stop thinking about Jae-yi, so the two attend a school party together.
16:24However, Jae-yi's father disapproves of their friendship,
16:27believing that Seulgi is a bad influence and a threat to his daughter's future.
16:32He confronts Seulgi, but she fearlessly pushes back,
16:35arguing that life is meant to be enjoyed.
16:38Her words leave him speechless, and Jae-yi finds the situation amusing.
16:43For the first time, Jae-yi feels liberated from her father's control.
16:49The two of them have fun together, laughing wholeheartedly as they play in a ball pit,
16:53cherishing a rare moment of carefree happiness.
16:57Jae-yi's father, enraged by the growing bond between her and Seulgi,
17:01orders Yeri to steal Seulgi's phone to gather information about her.
17:05However, amidst the chaos, Jae-yi accidentally ends up with Yeri's phone instead.
17:12As she scrolls through it, she stumbles upon a compromising video of a man and a woman in an intimate position.
17:19To her shock, the people in the video are none other than Seulgi's father and Jae-yi's own sister.
17:25Until now, Jae-yi had believed that her sister had run away to study abroad,
17:30as that was what her father had always told her.
17:33But this revelation shatters that illusion.
17:36Her father had been lying to her all along.
17:39At that moment, a mysterious figure wearing a cap enters the room.
17:43Jae-yi freezes in place, realizing that it's her long-lost sister standing right in front of her.
17:48The two face off as her sister tries to delete the incriminating video.
17:52During the struggle, the phone slips from their grasp and falls out the window.
17:57Desperate to retrieve it, Jae-yi's sister recklessly throws herself after it, endangering her own life.
18:03However, before she can reach it, a security guard spots her.
18:07To avoid being identified, she flees.
18:11Meanwhile, Jae-yi hears a scream and turns to see that Seulgi is in danger.
18:15A girl with long bangs, fed up with the arrogance of the school's elite,
18:19especially Ye-ri, loses control and lunges at her.
18:24In the scuffle, Jenny is wounded on the arm and collapses to the ground.
18:28Amidst the chaos, Seulgi is also stabbed.
18:32Panic erupts as students rush toward the exits,
18:35but the security guard locks the doors,
18:37refusing to let anyone leave until Jae-yi's sister is found.
18:41Seulgi is rushed to the hospital by ambulance,
18:43and when Jae-yi asks about her condition,
18:46she is horrified to learn that her own father is the one treating her.
18:51Jae-yi knows all too well that her father intends to kill Seulgi and races to stop him.
18:56When she finds her, she grabs Seulgi's hand and tries to get her out of there.
19:01But in a cruel twist, Jae-yi's father forces her to stitch up Seulgi's wound with her own hands.
19:06Trembling, Jae-yi puts on the gloves and carries out the procedure.
19:12After her recovery, Seulgi returns to school,
19:15unaware that the police are there to investigate the stabbing incident.
19:19She is forced to give a statement,
19:21but the real culprit, backed by her powerful family,
19:24attempts to pressure Seulgi into accepting a settlement before the trial.
19:28They use her status as a poor orphan to intimidate her.
19:31When she refuses, they retaliate by falsely accusing her of selling illegal substances.
19:37With no money to hire a lawyer or defend herself, Seulgi finds herself cornered.
19:44Fortunately, Jae-yi steps in to protect her, fighting to prove her innocence.
19:49However, her father intervenes, using his influence to ensure Seulgi is convicted.
19:54He demands that she receive a 20-year prison sentence.
19:58To make things worse, someone from Seulgi's past resurfaces, her former boss.
20:03Pretending to be her lover, he offers to get her out of the situation.
20:08However, his true intention is far more sinister.
20:12He wants to expand his illegal operations in the country,
20:15and presses Seulgi to reveal who the other major player controlling the market is.
20:20Since the true drug dealer is Jae-yi, Seulgi refuses to reveal her name.
20:24This enrages the trafficker, who mistreats her and forces her to sell his pills.
20:30Fortunately, Jae-yi manages to deceive the trafficker and rescue Seulgi from his grasp.
20:35Meanwhile, the man chases after a girl wearing a cap, thinking it's Seulgi.
20:40However, to his shock, it turns out to be Jae-yi's sister.
20:44Suddenly, the girl is forced into an ambulance by two mysterious paramedics.
20:48Shortly after, Jae-yi's father appears at the scene, raising suspicions that he might be behind the abduction.
20:55Luckily, Jae-yi had placed a tracker on her sister, and discovers that she passed through their house,
21:01stealing some clothes before disappearing again.
21:05Not long after, her father enters the mansion with a serious expression, filled with both nervousness and anger.
21:11This confirms Jae-yi's suspicion.
21:13Her sister is still on the run and being hunted.
21:15Shortly after, the incriminating video of Jae-yi humiliating a classmate is leaked online.
21:23Along with it, an anonymous message suggests that Jae-yi is the true leader of the pill trafficking ring at the school.
21:29The footage spreads rapidly, and to make matters worse, the police arrive at the school searching for the real dealer.
21:36Feeling cornered, Jae-yi quickly formulates a plan.
21:40She loudly declares that her sister is the true criminal, knowing that she isn't present.
21:44Her real intention is to have the police find her before their father does, because if she gets arrested, at least she'll be safe from him.
21:53Seulgi grasps the strategy and finds it incredibly clever.
21:57Shortly after, Jae-yi receives a distorted voice call informing her that her sister is at a nightclub.
22:03In exchange for the information, the caller demands the stolen drugs.
22:07They agree to the deal and hide the pills in the women's restroom.
22:11While waiting, they hear a suspicious noise.
22:14Seulgi quickly grabs a hose and drenches the thief, only to discover, much to her surprise, that it's Jae-ri who was attempting to steal the bag.
22:24Jae-ri confesses that she has been working for the trafficker because her family is bankrupt.
22:28Her friends are deeply hurt by her betrayal and contemplate cutting ties with her for good.
22:33Shortly after, Jae-yi receives a call from her father, informing her that her sister's body has been found.
22:40Upon arriving at the hospital, they discover that the girl was found dead, her face completely disfigured.
22:46However, Seulgi notices something odd.
22:49Jae-yi's sister never used nail polish, yet the body they found has painted nails.
22:54This makes her suspect that the corpse might not actually be Jae-yi's sister.
22:58Meanwhile, at school, rumors begin circulating that Jae-yi killed her own sister.
23:04Outraged by such an absurd accusation, Seulgi reacts violently, throwing balls at the students spreading the gossip.
23:12At the same time, Jae-yi is tormented by nightmares of her sister and begins to blame herself for her supposed death.
23:19Seulgi immediately enters Jae-yi's house to comfort her.
23:22But upon noticing some pendants, she realizes that the rumor about her father and Jae-yi's sister being in a relationship was true.
23:31Enraged, she starts throwing objects around the room, creating a chaotic mess that mirrors the turmoil in her heart.
23:38Jae-yi stops her and pulls her into an embrace, soothing her anger.
23:43Meanwhile, more clues suggest that Jae-yi's sister is still alive.
23:47When they enter her room, they find thousands of mathematical formulas scribbled all over the walls, proof that she memorized them daily.
23:56Then, in her diary, they uncover the shocking truth.
24:01It turns out that Jae-yi's sister was obsessed with earning their father's love,
24:05believing that the only way to gain his approval was through perfect grades.
24:09Desperate to succeed, she attempted to steal an exam, but Seulgi's father, who was the teacher, caught her in the act.
24:18To prevent him from reporting her, she was forced to offer her body in exchange for his silence.
24:24A few weeks later, her own father found out about the relationship.
24:29Instead of being angry, he praised her for sleeping with the professor in exchange for good grades.
24:33Later, he arranged a meeting with the professor and demanded the university entrance exam questions
24:40in exchange for revealing the location of his lost daughter, who, in reality, was Seulgi.
24:46The professor dismissed it as a lie and refused the deal,
24:50so Jae-yi's father threatened to expose the intimate video of his student.
24:54In a desperate move, the professor hid the stolen exam questions inside a capsule and swallowed it.
24:59When they later retrieved the capsule from his body, Jae-yi's father refused to stitch him back up,
25:06which led them to suspect that he was the true murderer.
25:09Later, they confirm that Jae-yi's sister is still alive because she had a birthmark on her foot,
25:15something the corpse they found did not have.
25:18Seulgi disguises herself as a nurse and sneaks into Jae-yi's father's hospital,
25:23while Jae-yi disables the security cameras and returns to her sister's fake funeral to avoid suspicion.
25:28Seulgi breaks into his office and finds an x-ray of her father's body,
25:33showing the capsule inside,
25:35proof that Jae-yi's father had indeed operated on him and killed him.
25:40Consumed by fury, she decides to take revenge with her own hands.
25:44She grabs a knife and rushes toward the murderer, determined to kill him,
25:48but at the last moment, her stepmother stops her, preventing her from ruining her future.
25:54Jae-yi quickly hides the knife.
25:56It turns out that the stepmother had also known about her husband's sordid affair with Jae-yi's sister.
26:02She had recognized the scent of her perfume lingering on his clothes.
26:06They hand the x-ray evidence to a lawyer,
26:08but she warns them that their enemy is far too powerful to be taken to trial.
26:14Determined not to back down,
26:15Seulgi decides to take matters into her own hands and chase after him.
26:19But suddenly, a hand covers her mouth, pulling her away.
26:22It's Jae-yi, not to hurt her, but to set her own plan into motion to bring down her father once and for all.
26:29Jae-yi discreetly installs multiple microphones throughout her house,
26:33even attaching one to her dog's collar.
26:36Through these hidden devices, she listens in on her father's conversations and learns a crucial secret.
26:41If the surgery video proving he killed the professor is ever leaked, it will be his downfall.
26:48That's why he has hidden the recording.
26:51Shortly after, he forces Jae-yi into his car, while Seulgi is taken away by her stepmother.
26:57Though physically separated, their souls remain connected.
27:01However, Jae-yi's father plays a recording from inside Seulgi's car,
27:05making it clear that he has complete control over her.
27:07In a twisted act of cruelty, he forces Jae-yi to watch footage of a car accident,
27:14psychologically tormenting her.
27:16Overcome with terror, she breaks down in tears,
27:19while Seulgi is violently struck,
27:21nearly collapsing from an overwhelming anxiety attack.
27:25Meanwhile, Jae-yi's father reveals where he has been keeping her sister.
27:30She is restrained by an ankle device that triggers an unbearable siren directly into her brain
27:35if she steps outside a restricted perimeter, inflicting excruciating pain.
27:40At this moment, Jae-yi's father unveils the chilling truth.
27:44The real killer of Seulgi's father was none other than Jae-yi's sister.
27:49Terrified that the video of her intimate encounter with the professor would be exposed,
27:53she delivered the fatal blow,
27:55all while their father stood by, encouraging the crime.
27:59Jae-yi, in shock, confronts her sister and demands to know if it's true.
28:05However, she soon realizes that her father has erased parts of her sister's memory,
28:09keeping her under his complete control.
28:12Jae-yi turns to him with utter disdain, calling him a failure of a father.
28:17Enraged, he grabs her by the throat and slams her against the wall,
28:20declaring that everything he did was to protect their family's reputation
28:23from being ruined by her sister's scandal.
28:26Now, he insists,
28:28it is Jae-yi's duty to become the perfect daughter,
28:30the one who will make him proud.
28:32Terrified, Jae-yi swears not to disappoint him.
28:37The next day, Jae-yi pretends to be sick,
28:40causing Seulgi to worry and search for her everywhere.
28:43Eventually, she finds her at the hospital, speaking with her father.
28:47But when she tries to approach, a nurse blocks her from entering,
28:50forcing her to wait anxiously outside, her heart racing with unease.
28:55When Jae-yi finally appears, her demeanor has completely changed.
28:58Instead of showing warmth, she is cold and ruthless toward Seulgi,
29:03declaring that she never saw her as a friend.
29:06In truth, she had been using her all along.
29:10Jae-yi treats Seulgi as nothing more than a servant, laughing at her with contempt.
29:15She sneers that at the top, there is only room for one of them.
29:17Days later, Seulgi tries to prepare for the upcoming exam.
29:23But without the pills that helped her concentrate, her body weakens,
29:27and she begins experiencing hallucinations,
29:29seeing water everywhere and even believing she is floating in the air.
29:33By the time she arrives at the exam, she is completely drenched,
29:37and despite trying her best to answer correctly,
29:40she fails every single question.
29:42As a result, the class nerd reclaims the top spot in the rankings,
29:46while both Jae-yi and Seulgi plummet to the bottom, their minds entirely elsewhere.
29:52Jae-yi takes her exam results to her father and apologizes for not securing first place.
29:58However, without even glancing at the papers,
30:00he tosses them into the fire, displaying his utter disdain.
30:05Meanwhile, Seulgi remains discouraged by the fact that no one believes Jae-yi's sister is still alive.
30:10Determined to prove it, she sneaks into the graveyard and steals the urn containing the supposed ashes.
30:17However, a guard catches her, and soon after, Jae-yi's father appears,
30:21offering her the answers to the upcoming final exam,
30:24one of the most crucial tests of the year.
30:27In exchange, he demands that she abandon the investigation into his daughter's death.
30:32After hearing his offer, Seulgi meets with Jae-yi,
30:36who has just stepped out of the swimming pool, and tells her everything.
30:39To her surprise, Jae-yi tells her to accept the deal,
30:43claiming that the investigation has come to an end.
30:47Seulgi, unable to understand why Jae-yi no longer wants to work with her,
30:51climbs onto the highest diving board, threatening to jump.
30:55In the end, she actually leaps.
30:57But Jae-yi jumps in after her, saving her.
31:00As the final exam approaches, the students prepare in various ways,
31:05primarily by taking stimulant pills to boost their cognitive abilities.
31:10Meanwhile, Jae-yi and Seulgi remain distant,
31:13exchanging only cold glances and avoiding any conversation,
31:17deepening their emotional pain.
31:19Then, one of Seulgi's friends starts sneezing due to dog fur,
31:23which makes Seulgi realize something.
31:25Her friend doesn't own a dog.
31:26Upon visiting her house, she discovers that she has been taking care of Jae-yi's pet.
31:33This triggers a memory of something Jae-yi once said.
31:37If anything bad were to happen to her, no one would be there to take care of her dog.
31:42This realization sends Seulgi into a panic.
31:45Jae-yi is in danger.
31:47Desperate, Seulgi rushes to the pool and finds Jae-yi standing on the highest diving board.
31:52Fortunately, she manages to convince her that their journey together in this world is worth continuing.
31:59With that, they set aside their differences and reunite as a team.
32:03Meanwhile, the exam committee enforces strict surveillance measures to prevent any form of cheating.
32:10Even a stray soccer ball that rolls out of the field is destroyed to ensure nothing is hidden inside.
32:14Amidst the heightened security, a spy allied with Seulgi pretends to be sick and is taken to the infirmary.
32:22There, he secretly hands the exam questions to a doctor.
32:26To cover up the operation, the doctor makes a deep cut on the patient's leg, causing a commotion that draws the guard's attention.
32:33She then urgently calls for another doctor to bring medication, creating a distraction while the plan moves forward.
32:40By sheer coincidence, the doctor called to handle the emergency turns out to be Jae-yi's own father.
32:45The female doctor discreetly hands him the exam questions, while elsewhere, Seulgi is inside an ambulance.
32:52Suddenly, the vehicle veers off course, heading toward a secluded location.
32:56There, in an act of ultimate betrayal, Jae-yi attempts to steal the exam questions from Seulgi.
33:02However, before she can seize them, Seulgi takes an extreme measure.
33:06She swallows the capsule containing the answers.
33:10Faced with this, Jae-yi injects her with anesthesia to retrieve them.
33:15With only 10 hours left until the exam, Seulgi is taken to an operating table at the hospital.
33:21Jae-yi's father, feeling deceived, refuses to perform the surgery.
33:25So Jae-yi takes matters into her own hands.
33:28After hours of painstaking effort, she successfully extracts the capsules containing the test questions.
33:35However, before she can use them, the trafficker who had been assisting her steals the capsules.
33:41In front of a desperate crowd, he organizes an auction, selling the answers to the highest bidders.
33:46The tension is so overwhelming that some students vomit from sheer anxiety over the upcoming test.
33:54But in a brilliant twist, Jae-yi's father had secretly swapped the real questions with fake ones before the trafficker even realized it.
34:01As a result, on exam day, all the students who purchased the leaked answers fall into despair when they realize they've been scammed.
34:08Meanwhile, Jae-yi, possessing the real test questions, answers everything flawlessly, standing out as the top performer.
34:17For Seulgi, however, the worst possible outcome occurs.
34:21She wakes up from her coma in the afternoon, only to discover that she has missed the university entrance exam she had fought for years to take.
34:29Jae-yi, on the other hand, is celebrated for achieving a perfect score, becoming a national sensation.
34:35Newspapers and the school praise her, while Seulgi, her expression cold and filled with bitterness, silently gathers her belongings and walks out of the hall, hating Jae-yi for betraying her.
34:47Meanwhile, Jae-yi's father appears in a television interview, basking in the glory of his daughter's success.
34:53But then, something unexpected happens.
34:56Jae-yi sneaks into her sister's room, removes her tracking ankle bracelet, and puts a life vest on her.
35:02She then starts a live broadcast on Instagram, leaving the entire country in shock as she jumps into the river, holding her sister tightly.
35:11The nation believes that Korea's brightest student has disappeared forever.
35:16Hours later, the police recover Jae-yi's sister alive.
35:20But there is no sign of Jae-yi.
35:22Seulgi, desperate, screams her name into the void.
35:25But no answer comes.
35:27The silence crushes her soul.
35:29Soon after, the truth starts to unravel.
35:33Jae-yi's father is exposed for his involvement in the illegal drug trade, as well as for the negligent surgery that caused Seulgi's father's death.
35:41With undeniable evidence, he is arrested for murder.
35:45Six months pass, but the media refuses to leave Seulgi alone.
35:50She continues searching for Jae-yi relentlessly.
35:52To make matters worse, Jae-yi's father is released due to a lack of evidence and starts appearing at Seulgi's house every day, waiting for his daughter to return.
36:03During this time, Seulgi abandons the use of pills and dedicates herself to studying for the university entrance exam on her own.
36:11Then, on an unexpected night, she receives a mysterious package.
36:15Upon opening it, she finds the same school keychain that Jae-yi once gave her as a symbol of their friendship and love.
36:23Tears of joy stream down her face.
36:27Inside the package, there is also a photo.
36:30As she examines it closely, Seulgi finally understands.
36:34Jae-yi is alive.
36:35And this is her way of sending a clue.
36:38The image depicts a house by the edge of a pier.
36:40Jae-yi is waiting for Seulgi, living in isolation for an obvious reason.
36:45Her entire plan had been carefully crafted to destroy her father's reputation, and above all, to save Seulgi's life.
36:53After all, Jae-yi had always known that Seulgi was her soulmate.
36:57And so, she would be willing to wait for her, even until the stars burned out.
37:01Because some connections in this life are strong enough to set our souls on fire.
37:10So, she has been a goodman for her husband.
37:12And so, she became a good man.
37:13I don't want to wait for her.
37:14If I can't wait for her to get her father's love.
37:16I need a reason for the last episode.
37:17Because I am like you.
37:19So, I'm gonna come to see you.
37:22I am an awesome chef.
37:24And I am an短パン.
37:26I am really excited for you.
37:30I love you.
37:32I love you.
37:33I love you.
37:34I love you.
37:35I love you.
37:35I love you.
37:35I love you.
37:35I love you.
37:36I love you.
37:37I love you.
37:37I love you.
37:38I love you.
37:39I love you.
