The End The End The End The End The End The End Huh?
2
Minji, did you hurt your finger?
3
Oh no, it just got red from the needle when we were testing our blood types.
4
It got red?
5
Oh, mine's red too!
6
Oh my, it looks like you need a bandaid too.
7
I have an extra.
8
I'll put it on for you.
9
No, that's fine.
10
It gets in the way when I'm picking my nose.
11
T-Chadu, you can't pick your nose with dirty fingers.
12
Minji, you're definitely type A.
13
Type A.
14
Always meticulous, diligent, and caring towards others.
15
See?
16
That's totally you!
17
What is that book?
18
You and I and Blood Types.
19
It's a very scientific and realistic encyclopedia on blood types.
20
Where did you get such a ridiculous book?
21
Isn't that all just a hoax?
22
What do you mean a hope?
23
The personalities and blood types in here are completely on point.
24
Let me guess.
25
Tadou, you're definitely Type B.
26
Type B knows what they like and dislike, and they act however they feel.
27
Oh, hey, that sounds pretty accurate.
28
What about me?
29
Why don't you guess my blood type then?
30
You're loyal and honest, so Type O.
31
Dordol is the same as Jadu, type B.
32
Dalgi is artistically inclined, so type AB.
33
Unni isn't artistic, but temperamental, so type AB.
34
You actually believe this?
35
Those books are just for fun.
36
Good morning, everyone.
37
What's all this noise about, students?
38
Um, teacher, when are we getting our blood type results back?
39
I have the results today.
40
You must be very eager to know your blood type.
41
Yeah, my mom always said she found me under a bridge, but she never told me about blood types.
42
Well, today is your lucky day.
43
Let's all come up to the front one by one.
44
Here.
45
No way!
46
Hey, Jadu!
47
You still don't believe it, huh?
48
Well, it's not completely wrong.
49
But hey guys, we didn't even get to the most important part yet!
50
Chapter 2, Love by Blood Types Ooh!
51
L-love?
52
Which compatible blood type should I fall in love with?
53
Well, that's in the book too.
54
Oh, come on!
55
Stop leaving us in suspense!
56
Best guy for Type A girl is...
57
Type O guy!
58
It takes a long time for them to realize they like each other, but once they get married after passionate romance, they can be the perfect couple.
59
T-type O boy?
60
Type A girl?
61
For type AB girl, type AB boy.
62
Huh?
63
Type AB boy?
64
Type AB girl and boy score 90 out of 100.
65
They get to know each other through conversation and are likely to fall in love.
66
Of course, Type A B's are cultured.
67
They fall in love through conversation.
68
Darkie and I scored 90 out of 100!
69
Okay now, Type B girl goes well with Type A B.
70
Huh?
71
W-What?
72
Type A B boy is magnetically attracted to Type B girl, and Type B girl is attracted to the boy's active pursuit,
73
So they often fall in love.
74
You two must be destined to be rivals.
75
You guys might fight over a guy when you grow up.
76
What?
77
Let me see.
78
How about blood types that aren't compatible?
79
Here it is.
80
Type B girl is incompatible with...
81
Type O boy!
82
Both are extremely stubborn so when they start to argue, an ambulance might come into the equation.
83
That's perfect!
84
There's a reason you guys always fight!
85
Whatever!
86
It's all a hoax!
87
Good work everyone!
88
Everyone, for tomorrow's music class we'll get into pairs and sing in harmony.
89
I'll set up your partners.
90
So have fun practicing!
91
Not Younsoc!
92
I don't work well with Type O!
93
Dariki and I must be destined!
94
Let's do La Cucaracha.
95
It'll be nice and upbeat.
96
Let's do Swanee River.
97
It's way cooler.
98
It's too slow.
99
It's not upbeat.
100
Why do you want upbeat?
101
It's singing, not dancing.
102
We can add the dance, silly.
103
La Cucaracha!
104
La Cucaracha!
105
What are you doing?
106
I can't work with you, Yun-san.
107
Just do rock, paper, scissors then!
108
Rock, paper, scissors!
109
I'll start, and you can come in and go la cucaracha.
110
No, we start together and go la cucaracha!
111
Start separately and sing together later!
112
Just do it my way!
113
Ha!
114
Seriously!
115
La cucaracha!
116
La cucaracha!
117
You're getting the notes wrong!
118

123
They're doing homework.
124
They have to sing together.
125

126
Mimi!
127
I knew I couldn't work with a Type O!
128
Look who's talking!
129
I hate Type B too!
130

131
Well, you had to help at the store.
132

Yeah, I knew it.
231
It said Yunsuk and I are compatible,
232
but we argued a lot The most important thing is your attitude If you think you'll be compatible, you'll be fine, Chadu.

But if you think you won't be, you'll start to argue.
234
Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
