WARNING: About 95% of this video is in Korean. I may add subtitles if I’m really bored haha.
This is a mini-play that my group made up during my church’s summer retreat in Brian Head, Utah. We only had two days to work on this.
____________________________________
For those who do not understand the point of the play:
Jae, a junior in high school, is forced to study hard for his SAT’s coming up. Unfortunately, he hates studying and would rather go to a party with his friends. His mom, who works a 12 hour shift for the majority of the week, continuously stresses that her son should study hard. His mom’s only wish is for him to realize how much his mom regrets not studying harder when she was a student like Jae.
Right when Jae receives a text message from his friend who invites him over to a party, an angel appears in his room and asks him to follow her into Jae’s mom’s past.
Jae’s mom in the past was a very bright and smart student. She does all of her homework and completes all of her assignments given by her teacher. One day, Jae’s mom’s friend insists that she come with him to a friend’s party that night. She would rather not go there because she knows that they will be taking their SAT test the very next day, but when her friend tells her that a guy she likes will be going to the party, she changed her mind and went with her friend.
On the day of her SAT test, she arrives feeling rushed, and regrets not studying the night before. During the exam, she struggled to finish the test, and as a result, did not complete it to the best of her ability. She finally realizes that if she had studied just a little bit harder, she would become successful in her future.
Jae, watching all of his mom’s past, realizes the regret his mom feels to this day. The angel takes Jae back home. Jae wakes up from a loud noise only to realize that it had all been a dream. Jae finally begins to study hard and his mom feels proud of him.

The purpose of this play was to connect the minds of parents and adults with students like us, and show them how we feel about certain things.
You’ll see that some of us speak really quiet in the video, or some scenes don’t run as smoothly as should it be. Be aware that we are NOT professionals, lol. Cut us some slack.
The song that we sang at the very end is called 당신은 사랑받기 위해. It’s a pretty popular Korean worship song. I made a piano video on this song couple years ago, you can check it out here –

Oh, and thank you to my best friend, JIHYE LEE, for recording the video for us. Thanks for singing into the camera at the very end.
ENJOY!
