00:00This young man's name is Do Ilchul. He is the son of gambling legend known as the One Ear.
00:04Even though the One Ear had died, his talent in gambling was passed down to his son Ilchul.
00:09Ilchul himself was still a student, but his ability to analyze opponents at the casino table
00:13was worthy of praise. Apart from being able to read his enemy's cards, he also could observe
00:17their movements which were said to create a certain rhythm, so that from there he could
00:21predict which cards were coming to weaken his opponents with this ability and win the game.
00:25This ability and skill got him the nickname Taza, a professional gambler in Korean.
00:30He often gambled at the same gambling house owned by a bearded guy, whom he often gave
00:34a share of his winning, but one day, after winning a big money, he met a woman he had
00:37never seen before. Feeling sorry for her, he finally accepted the woman's invitation to
00:42dinner. Without getting to know Ilchul, the woman knew that he was Taza. Ilchul's abilities
00:46were already known throughout Korea, but instead of being amazed by him, she asked him to stop
00:50gambling because, despite the big wins, gambling would eventually end up in a complete loss,
00:55leaving an individual with nothing at all. Ilchul became curious about who the woman in front
00:59of him was. Unfortunately, the woman immediately left because a guy coming from a car forcibly
01:04picked her up. As soon as Ilchul arrived home, he was surprised by his mother who greeted him
01:08inside his apartment room. His mother was the owner of a small food stall on the outskirts
01:12of Seul. That night, the mother made dinner for her child because she knew that soon he
01:16would take the civil servant test. She deliberately visited Seul to see her only son. However, his
01:21mother's attitude made him feel guilty instead. It was her mother's only hope for raising the
01:25status of their family, especially after his father died without any inheritance. It was natural that
01:30the mother wanted her child to get a better job, so to fulfill his mother's wishes, Ilchul still went
01:34to college as usual, but unfortunately, he couldn't concentrate because his thoughts were only about
01:39gambling. It wasn't just gambling that occupied Ilchul's mind, but also the mysterious woman who
01:43met him yesterday. She disappeared as mysteriously as she appeared. Without a trace at all, he even didn't
01:48know her name. Those thoughts made him couldn't concentrate while riding a bike when suddenly,
01:52a speeding car stopped in front of him at the T-junction and he hit it. The car owner came out to see the
01:57dented door of his car and immediately demanded Ilchul to pay compensation and without fear, Ilchul
02:01was willing to pay it. Ilchul's courage made the car owner feel challenged, who then intended to
02:06challenge Ilchul to a gambling game. Turned out that the owner of the car was the one who picked up
02:10the mysterious woman he had seen before. This gambling staked on Ilchul's broken bicycle and the car
02:15owner's dented car door. Whoever lost had to be willing to replace it with a new one, and the mysterious
02:20woman who turned out to be named Madonna was the bookie. Ilchul thought that this gambling would
02:24take place quickly, and he would come out as the winner, but it turned out that the man in front of
02:28him was not just any common gambler. Ilchul, who had always been thought of as Tatsa, suddenly became
02:33helpless because of the man. Ilchul got a bad card and lost a lot in his first game. Ilchul didn't want
02:39to give up, so he borrowed some money from the gambling house owner to continue the game. Even though
02:44the man had asked him to stop, Ilchul didn't want to listen to that advice because the stakes were
02:48increased, namely being able to go on a date with Madonna. Madonna actually asked Ilchul to stop
02:53too because his enemy wasn't just a usual gambler, but just like the gambling house owner's suggestion
02:57earlier, he didn't want to take it for granted because he just wanted to win. Unfortunately, Ilchul
03:02had bad luck that day and once again, he lost a lot at stake. Finally, Ilchul had to face the thugs who
03:07immediately beat him until someone managed to find out about the beating and immediately saved Ilchul.
03:12The person's name is Ekju, commonly known as One-Eye. He admitted that he once owed Ilchul's
03:16father a favor so he would pay off all Ilchul's debts which numbered around $100,000. Ilchul was
03:22confused because all this time he had never known his father's acquaintance, but he didn't think about
03:26it any further because he was too busy bearing the pain all over his body. The next day, Ilchul asked
03:31Ekju again about his relationship with the One-Ear, his father, but Ekju didn't explain it in detail.
03:36He instead talked about the greatness of the One-Ear compared to the other Taza. At first,
03:40Ilchul thought that Ekju was one of the legendary Tazas but Ekju admitted that he was just a fraud.
03:45He then explained to Ilchul to be more sensitive because in the world of gambling, there was always
03:49a way to drain other people's money. One example was Ilchul himself who had unknowingly been made
03:53poor by the owner of the gambling house he used to visit. Therefore, Ekju asked him to stop gambling,
03:58at least for now. This was because Ilchul hadn't experienced any further losses, but again,
04:03Ilchul didn't want to listen. He felt he had enough skill and wanted to prove it in front of Ekju,
04:08so after that, the two of them went straight to the casino. Ilchul proved to Ekju that he had what
04:13it takes to dominate the world of gambling. It turned out that Ekju had been waiting for Ilchul's
04:17natural skill to show up because he was secretly forming a team for his project. Apart from Ilchul,
04:21he has also targeted several people. The first is Kachi, a dealer known for his amazing shuffling card
04:26skills. The second is Yongmei, a casino waiter who often steals customers' betting money secretly and
04:31never reports since nobody ever found out about it, while Yongmei can get a lot of money from it.
04:35The third is Mr. Kwan, a tavern owner known for his acting skills and often cooperating with bookies.
04:41The four people, including Ilchul, were gathered by Ekju in an empty warehouse. At first, Kachi felt
04:46that this team was useless, especially since they didn't know each other until finally,
04:49Ekju came and explained his plan. It turned out that Ekju intended to drain the property of a nouveau
04:54riche named Mool. He was a cunning landlord who recently started gambling, but to drain all his wealth,
04:59it must be done carefully and this was why the team was formed. Kachi and Yongmei would pretend to be a
05:04married couple who wanted to buy a property through Mool, but to provoke Mool's self-esteem,
05:08Yongmei and Kachi had to make Mool feel annoyed because so it would be easier for them to drag him
05:12to the gambling table. With the same old trick, Yongmei and Kachi were initially going to lose the game
05:17and made it seem like Mool was the winner, but when Mool felt like he was at his best, Kachi and Yongmei
05:22would exchange their cards which made Mool get a bad card, starting Mool's downfall. He, who had been arrogant,
05:27finally swallowed a lot of loss. With the strategy continued, the next day, Yongmei and Kachi went to
05:32Mool's office to cancel their plan to buy the property while deliberately saying that Mool was
05:36a loser, provoking him so Mool finally wanted to find a great gambler. This was where Il Poole and
05:40Mr. Kwon took on the role. Mr. Kwon would pretend to be a businessman who had a nephew who was good at
05:45gambling, and without thinking twice, Mool would then recruit Il Poole to be his partner at the gambling
05:50table. Without waiting any longer, the next night, Mool returned to challenge Yongmei and Kachi.
05:54Once again, Yongmei and Kachi used their old tricks as they both deliberately gave in at the start
05:59and made it seem like Mool was the winner, and when he was confident that this time he couldn't
06:03possibly lose, while celebrating his winnings, Kachi would open his card that turned out to be worth
06:08more than Mool's. Finally, Mool could only bite his fingers as he lost a lot. Later, when Mr. Kwon was
06:14about to say goodbye to Mool, Mool stopped him and asked him to stay because he still wanted to play,
06:18but when Mr. Kwon was about to say something, a car showed up and Mool immediately left to greet the
06:22person coming from the car, who turned out to be Madonna, the woman Il Poole knew and the person
06:26that Mool claimed was his boss. Il Poole didn't expect that Madonna was also working with Mool.
06:32Il Poole couldn't take his eyes off Madonna. After thinking that Madonna had disappeared,
06:36she showed up that day and he was able to meet her again. It turned out that Mool had once owed
06:40Madonna for investment reasons. Mool admitted that he would use the money to build a building even
06:44though Mool actually used the money for gambling, while the building promised by Mool was never built
06:48because the money had run out without any left. Therefore, Il Poole tried to remind Madonna that
06:53Mool was just a fraud. He asked the woman to withdraw all her money from Mool because Il Poole
06:58and his friends were draining his wealth, but this information made Madonna feel confused.
07:02She didn't understand why Il Poole bothered to tell her because if Mool was indeed a fraud,
07:06only Madonna would be harmed, and for Madonna's question, Il Poole finally realized that he actually
07:10liked the woman, which for her, the love didn't mean anything at all. Turned out, Madonna's arrival
07:15was aimed to provoke Il Poole to reveal the secret of Ekku's team. Finally, after finding out that
07:20he had been tricked, Mool mobilized all his men to catch Kaichi and Young Mei. Mr. Kwan had tried
07:24to save them both, but because Mool's men were already in power, Kaichi was willing to sacrifice
07:29himself to buy time for Young Mei to escape from there. He told Young Mei to meet Mr. Kwan.
07:33Meanwhile, Il Poole was on the verge of getting killed, but fortunately, Ekku arrived just in time.
07:38He managed to save Il Poole and took him away from Mool. The next day, Il Poole woke up at Ekku's
07:43headquarters. Unfortunately, they were missing one member, namely Kaichi, who had been caught.
07:48This ultimately made the team members consider Il Poole's act as a betrayal that even claimed one
07:52of their members. Il Poole didn't defend himself. He instead asked the reason why Ekku wanted to save
07:57him. It turned out that Ekku had once betrayed one ear so that his life was ended by a legendary
08:01gambler called the Devil. After hearing this story, Il Poole was immediately angry, and without saying
08:06goodbye, he immediately left there. Meanwhile, in another place, Madonna and Mool planned to take
08:11revenge on Il Poole and his friends, but because they realized that there was still Ekku behind the
08:15group, Madonna planned to ask the Devil for help to finish them all off. On the other hand, since
08:20that incident, Il Poole returned to the gambling houses and beat the gamblers there. Il Poole's game
08:24was really feared. He could make people lose in an instant until they didn't want to gamble with him
08:28anymore, but one afternoon, there was someone who wanted to meet him, and that person was Kachi.
08:33Il Poole was surprised because he had thought that Kachi already had died, but Kachi's arrival
08:37brought even more shocking news, namely that Ekku had been killed by the Devil. Il Poole felt even
08:42angrier and intended to avenge Ekku and his father, whom the Devil had murdered long ago.
08:46Without wasting more time, Il Poole immediately met Mr. Kwan. He asked for advice on how to take
08:51his revenge on the Devil, but Mr. Kwan didn't give any advice. He only emphasized that that was the way
08:56of life for gamblers if they didn't stop immediately. If Il Poole completed his revenge, Mr. Kwan asked the
09:01young man to stop gambling after that. The next day, Il Poole immediately met the Devil who had
09:06allied with Madonna and Mool. Il Poole brought a bag full of money. As for this one, not only
09:10betting the money he had, he had his life at stake. Anyone who was lost or proven to have cheated
09:15should be executed. That night, when Il Poole intended to rest, suddenly Madonna visited him
09:20in his room. He invited Il Poole to work together to trick the Devil and win all his money, but this
09:25time, Il Poole didn't believe in Madonna anymore. He already had enough of her cheating on him, and he
09:29didn't want to fall into the same trap again, but Madonna said that Il Poole did need to trust her.
09:33He should only believe in the amount of money they could bring home. Finally, Il Poole let Madonna
09:38make a strategy with him because it turned out that he had also collaborated with Mool.
09:42Madonna was surprised at first, but this was natural in the world of gambling. If they were
09:47up against a strong player, the other players would work together to defeat him. Il Poole was just using
09:51old tricks, but he needed Mool and Madonna to carry out his plan. At first, as usual, they would play
09:56with four players. They knew that the Devil would only try to make Il Poole lose, so he would only focus on
10:02Il Poole's game. When he was not looking, Madonna and Mool would change the deck so that Il Poole
10:06would get the better card, and when the Devil thought that he had won, Il Poole's card would
10:10have a higher value than the Devil. The Devil felt he had been cheated, but the Devil couldn't prove
10:14this, and he had to accept his defeat. Not to mention Madonna, who apparently had a bad past with
10:18him and wanted him to die. After the gambling ends, according to the agreement, Il Poole would only
10:23take two million dollars while Mool would take four million dollars. But because Mool was a
10:27greed person, he also intended to take two million dollars belonged to Il Poole, but Il Poole was no
10:32less a genius. Before that, he had collaborated with Mool's underling, who held a grudge against
10:36his boss because he was always treated badly. In the end, Mool was killed by his own man.
10:41The next day, Kachi and Young Mai, who turned out to be married, suddenly got a million dollars in
10:44their car. Likewise with Mr. Kwon, who suddenly received the same amount of money sent by an unknown
10:49person. But when they saw a card in the bag, they immediately knew that it was Il Poole.
10:52Meanwhile, Il Poole was starting a new life by living with his mother, and as the only son,
10:57he managed to answer his mother's hopes by becoming a civil servant. Il Poole had stopped
11:01gambling and wanted to live a simple and happy life with his mother.
