A road opens as you tread along it. A road that doesn't open isn't a road. Roads are open to everyone, but not everyone can have the roads. – Jang Geu Rae

I thought that was the end, but it was only the beginning. – Jang Geu Rae

Self-esteem, saving face, pride, these are not the issue here. I have to swallow all that. – Jang Geu Rae

Are you a mama's boy? You can't do anything by yourself? – Ahn Young Yi

Young Yi: Sorry about before.

Geu Rae: Sure.

Young Yi: Huh? People usually say "It's okay."

Geu Rae: You say "Sure" when no wrong was done.

My road ended there. – Jang Geu Rae

It's not because I lacked skills or luck. Or because I had a part-time job on the side. Or because my parents couldn't support me. Or because my mom became bedridden after my dad passed away. That would be too painful. So I want to think I didn't work hard enough. I want to think that way even if it isn't true. I ended up here because I didn't work hard. – Jang Geu Rae

We have to get accustomed to the unfamiliar. That way, we can have a new experience. We should move a step away from the fear. – Oh Sang Sik

My something, my one thing, something I'm good at — effort. – Jang Geu Rae

You'll see when you become a dad. When your kid suffers, you can't stop crying. – Jang Geu Rae's Mom

You have to go high to see far.

I wanted to be one of them so desperately that I couldn't see the ugly truth. Only I didn't know that truth when everyone else does. – Jang Geu Rae

I had to be fine alone. – Jang Geu Rae

Sweat. Tears. Frustrations. How much more should I shed? – Jang Geu Rae

혼자 하는 일이 아니다. (We don't work alone.)

A collection of your choices is your life. The choices you make in each moment makes up the quality of your life. – Han Suk Yool

Kajima. I'll do well. – Jang Geu Rae

It's not something I can overlook with pride. – Jang Geu Rae

You need a plan for every move, that's called intention.

We think our past is holding on to us, but it's the other way around. – Sun Ji Young

Surviving means going towards a complete life. – Oh Sang Sik

Thankfully only I hadn't changed. – Jang Geu Rae

No need to drag me into this. – Jang Baek Ki

I'm a guy too, but guys think girls should give in all the time. They don't know how hard girls have to work to climb up the ladder. – Oh Sang Sik

Most bad choices become regrets and get forgotten, but not always. Some things haunt you forever. They don't get forgotten and you can't take them back. – Jang Geu Rae

What does gender have to do with what's right? It has something to do with your conscience. – Sun Ji Young

There's no choice that will satisfy everyone. Take responsibility for your choice.

A move you make when things don't look good, the move you make to turn the tables is called a clever move in the game of Go. If the clever move was brilliant, it proves they had the upper hand. Clever moves are dealt with by proper moves. The secret is to scrap unnecessary things when in a crisis.

No matter how much you prepare, accidents happen. – Kim Dong Sik

He thinks easy ones can be done by anyone else, so he keeps obsessing over hard risky items. – Kim Dong Sik

Rethink it from others' point of view and make it happen.

You know what's risky when doing business? Letting it become a race. You just keep looking forward then you'll crash into something. – Oh Sang Sik

We overlook what we think is obvious. – Ahn Young Yi

If you want to accomplish something, health should be your priority. The reason you lag towards the end, the reason you recover slowly from damage, and the reason a mistake affects you for so long, are all because your health is not at best. When you're unfit, you want to be comfortable and lose patience. Then you become so tired, you don't care about victories. If you want to win, your body should be able to withstand your challenges. Will power is nothing without your body health.

Shall I tell you another horror story? Tomorrow's Monday. – Ahn Young Yi

Keep your chin up and be proud. Be strong. That's more like you. – Han Suk Yool

I realized what beats a strong spear is not a stronger spear or a shield. – Ahn Young Yi

We didn't learn in school how to approach those who shut you out. – Ahn Young Yi

You should say no if you don't like it. – Kim Dong Sik

Jumping down a bridge doesn't mean you're courageous. Ignoring a path which makes you jump down a bridge and going your own path requires courage too. It's not smart to respond immediately when there is trouble. Keeping your cool while your opponent doesn't ultimately gives them trouble. So keeping my cool is the best way to defend myself and attack others.

I want to get to know you better in the near future. – Kim Dong Sik

I think we keep opening doors our whole lives instead of succeeding or failing. – Kim Dong Sik

I don't know what is shown, but the world is full of those who want to be seen. – Jang Geu Rae

People show themselves to be comforted and to be understood. – Jang Geu Rae

Don't hate the person or you won't be able to focus on the errors. – Kim Dong Sik

It's time to respond to the trouble the opponent is giving. – Kim Dong Sik

The result is clear: if the opponent doesn't die, we die. – Jang Geu Rae

A move is decided by the previous move. – Jang Geu Rae

Every crack is completed by the internal conditions. – Jang Geu Rae

You were that type of guy, a bit late but you always made it. But this time you're late... too late. – Mr. Choi

Doing your best in every moment makes the victory of that move possible. – Jang Geu Rae

When did you start losing the moment? – Jang Geu Rae

The important thing is you did what you needed to. Don't ever miss that. – Oh Sang Sik

You want me to tell you why your game isn't improving? You're too hung up on rules and previous examples.

Break the formality. Be radical.

We've come so far. We should at least try. – Kim Dong Sik

We're going ahead with it. And going strong. This is conviction. – Jang Geu Rae

I think I really get tougher with time. I don't feel hurt at all. – Ahn Young Yi

Indeed, there is no direct correlation between your school grades and happiness. – Han Suk Yool

In order not to feel the weight of time that makes you slump over, you have to be absorbed. But absorbed in what? Either alcohol, poetry or virtue, that's up to you. – Jang Geu Rae

Have a cold mind and a warm heart. – Mr. Chun

If I'm about to fight with a filthy dog, I should be ready to get filthy. – Han Suk Yool

Don't ask for too much. – Oh Sang Sik

I just want to continue working with our team I've worked with. Us. Together. Always. – Jang Geu Rae

Sometimes I wonder why you grew distant from me. – Mr. Choi

Empty hope and irresponsible consolation are useless. – Oh Sang Sik

Stop putting him up on a pedestal. – Oh Sang Sik

You can't ultimately climb stairs with success where there's no foundation. You end up on the ground again. – Jang Geu Rae

As you said I have a lot of flaws, so I have many more desperate moments. – Jang Geu Rae

Having a memory is wonderful. But they say forgetting is truly wonderful. What you can forget is no longer a wound.

He was erasing time by training how to numb himself. He lost his smile and we lost him. I started to miss his annoying chatter long ago. But none of us could dare to give him advice. – Jang Geu Rae

Even if you lose a stone, the game goes on. – Jang Geu Rae

You should know when to fight and when to back down. – Mr. Ha

He just wants to run with others. And they want us to break his legs? – Kim Dong Sik

Life is not easy for anyone. – Ahn Young Yi

Oh Sang Sik: If you follow a fly, you'll end up in the toilet. But if you follow a honeybee, you'll end up in the flowerbed.

Geu Rae: Ah, no wonder I'm in the flowerbed.

However, I still have this doubt in my heart I can't get rid of. – Jang Geu Rae

I'm saying this out of concern that I might've affected your judgment. – Jang Geu Rae

You're trying to save me. – Jang Geu Rae

If I don't do it now, even if the chance comes next time, I don't know if I'll feel the same way. – Oh Sang Sik

A good move for me could be a good move for the opponent too. – Mr. Choi

Some people only think of winning and having the opponent lose. They're bound to lose in the long run. – Mr. Choi

Right, life throws tough quizzes at you to make you helpless. But it leaves hints in funny places at times. But of course, there's no guarantee the answers you get are correct. – Jang Geu Rae

You have one thing you're good at — patience. – Oh Sang Sik

Even if you think you won't make it, fight to the end. In life, there are many things you start even if you know the end. – Oh Sang Sik

We'd like a fair evaluation, not special treatment. – Sun Ji Young

How can someone's specifications make someone's treatment so different from another? – Han Suk Yool

Can I be ambitious again? – Jang Geu Rae

Time goes by so slow these days. It used to fly. – Kim Dong Sik

Just because you forgot your dream doesn't make it vanish. Just because you can't see the road doesn't make it vanish. – Oh Sang Sik

Hope cannot be said to exist, nor can it be said not to exist. It is just like roads across the earth. For actually the earth had no roads to begin with, but when many men pass one way, a road is made. – Lu Xun

Another road has opened. And I'm not alone. – Jang Geu Rae
