FRANKLY SPEAKING

Let's do it. This dating thing.

What is this? A prank?

Come on.
Let's give it a shot, this dating...

show.

You've worked with me on a variety show.
In my current state...

Back then, I didn't know you well.

You should try things out
and see how it goes.

Unless it's something like
You Quiz or Hidden Singer.

-You know, a show that requires a host.
-What?

I can't go on I Live Alone
because I don't live alone.

I can't do OIV
because I don't have a manager.

My goodness. Someone's ambitious.

Do you think you can compete against
Yu Jae-seok or Jun Hyun-moo?

They're seasoned veterans.

If they're polar bears, I'd say you're
a baby penguin that just left its colony.

One that can't even walk properly yet.

Okay, so what's your point?

Reality dating show.

Regular people can participate too,
and it's definitely entertaining.

Most importantly,
I'm sure viewers will love the real you.

You said I was your switch.

So use me.

And I'll use you too.

A penguin can never encounter
a polar bear in its lifetime.

You know why?
Because penguins live in the Antarctic.

WORKMAN

Excuse me.

I told you to meet me in half an hour...

Well, I couldn't wait.

Hello, Dr. Kim.

AGREEMENT

SONG KI-BAEK AND ON WOO-JU
WILL PERFORM THEIR DUTIES

Can't we just say
we'll trust each other and get on with it?

People sign agreements
to ensure everything goes well

and to address issues if they arise.

Well, you see. I'm a doctor, not a lawyer.

Why are you doing this?

Do you think I can be socially active
despite my disinhibition syndrome?

No, I mean, can I go on a TV show
in my current state?

Well, people go to work and school
with a broken arm or a broken skull.

That's life.

You're alive and breathing.
That's nice. Is Mr. Song dead?

See?

Let's collect some data first
with the switch on.

You should confront the problem.

We'll do it your style

and my style.

God, does this even make sense to you?

We got Kim Jeong-heon on board,

but you want to change
the concept altogether?

What if Jeong-heon doesn't want to do it?

-Right now, we...
-Kim Jeong-heon is all we have.

That's why I'm doing this.

We're on the cliff's edge.

Viewers have seen
enough of Kim Jeong-heon.

We need something new and fresh.

Like what?

Do you have a concrete plan?

Kim Jeong-heon and Song Ki-baek.
There's something going on between them.

We'll have something
if we put those two together.

Okay, but even so,
do you think Jeong-heon would say yes?

Let's do it.

Sorry?

It's my chance to transition
from ideal son-in-law to ideal boyfriend.

We'll give it our all.

I'm counting on you, Ms. On.

Let's get started.

I'll hit the slate. One, two, three.

Hello, everyone. I'm Louis Kim.

I'm 30 in Korean age.

I moved to France to study
when I was young.

I currently run a small restaurant
that I own in Hannam-dong. I'm a chef.

I'm 29. It's a lovely age.

I'm Choi Yu-yeong.

I was a professional swimmer until age 23
and worked in TV up until recently.


Now I'm getting ready
to start my own business.

-Hello.
-Let me help you with that.

It's a little heavy.

It is kind of heavy.

I'm Park Seong-jun.

I recently launched
a men's streetwear brand.


Our annual revenue...

I'm bashful about saying it myself,
but about ten billion won?

I'm 25.

I'm Park Hae-ri.

I'm a graphic designer
with 100k subscribers.


-Hello.
-Oh, hello.

-Nice to meet you.
-Likewise.

I'm Cho Hui-seon.

I'm a lawyer.

I used to work at a big law firm
but opened my own practice this year.

I've published a book,
and I give lectures on legal topics.


-Hello.
-Hello.

-Take a seat.
-Shall we...

Send in the next guest.

Oh, someone else is here.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Hello.

-This way.
-Need a hand?

-He said he's good.
-This is awkward.

You can sit over here.

You can sit...

Let's move on.

Oh, someone else is here.

Here, this way.

Oh, aren't you Jeong-heon?

-Hello.
-Hi.

-Nice to meet you.
-Hi.

Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Hello.

I'm a fan of your shows.

Hello.

-This is cool.
-Wow.

-Are we supposed to stand?
-You can sit.

First, introduce yourselves.

Hello, I'm Park Seong-jun.

Applause, please.

I like women with pretty smiles.

-Louis Kim. I've seen him on Insta.
-Thank you.

He's famous.

I want to meet a successful man.

How about a business owner
that makes ten billion won annually?

It's nice to meet you guys.

Hey, Ki-baek.

Go ahead.

Hello, I'm Song Ki-baek, a JBC announcer.

Announcer?

I was at JBC for eight and a half years
but got kicked out

for causing trouble...

At the moment...

I'm un...

FREELANCE ANNOUNCER

I'm free and unemployed.

Well, I'm here to try new things
with new people in a new environment.

But I see more cameras than people.

How do they expect us to date here?

-Oh, no.
-I want a love that's like a miracle.

Like a miracle.

Nice!

-He's not drunk, is he?
-I feel drunk all of a sudden.

Chin up.

So...

Hello, I'm Kim Jeong-heon.

That's it?

Such a cheeseball.

Come on. That should be in the teaser.

He's a total pro.

EPISODE 5: THE PRO AND THE AMATEUR

Okay, we'll now move on
to individual interviews.

You can make yourselves at home and chat.

-Where's your luggage?
-Over there.

Really? Let me go get it for you.

-Is your suitcase this one?
-That one.

Which one is yours?
I'll take it inside for you.

Thank you, I...

You.

Yeah, as you promised.

The pinky?

You have to do a good job.

The best?

Okay?

I'm the best?

Yes.

Wait!

I have an important announcement.

-Why do we have to put it back on?
-The crew wants to change the lapel mic.

I got this. I know how to do it.

It's faster if I do it.

Are you enjoying it so far?

Well, we're just getting started.

Right.

It's been forever since
the two of us stood together like this.

Don't you think it'll be better
to pair up these two?

There's something about being on set

and seeing you too.

It reminds me of the old days.

I don't want you
to think about the old days.

Hey, was I that obnoxious?

Everyone's so mean to me.

I was obnoxious.

What?

I said, I was obnoxious.

Let me know if you need help.

I could be of help to you here.

All right.

Ki-baek.

Don't look at the camera.

I'm used to looking at the camera.
I'm sorry.

You can relax and sit comfortably.

Oh, this... this side of my face
looks better on camera.

Please kindly edit out what I just said.

Requesting edits
will make us not want to do it.

Be it a humorous blunder or an error,
we want it in the show.

True, that's what variety shows are about.
That much I know.

Good point.

Just relax and tell me
whatever's on your mind.

I'll never make you look bad.

So? Who do you find most attractive?

-We met just an hour ago.
-What?

I mean, I know...
I know that's what we're here to do,

to say "I like you" an hour
after meeting each other.

I'm very nervous right now.

This question shouldn't make you nervous.
This should be a little easier.

Why did you decide to do this show?

I couldn't go on You Quiz.

I mean, I'm a penguin.

A penguin?

I see. You're a penguin.

A penguin.

What am I supposed to say to this?

Is he trying to flaunt his charm?

Like, trying to say he's cute
and fluffy like a penguin?

All right. Calm down and think, okay?

What is it that you have to do here?

I need to find my match.

I may look like a loser
because of my current situation,

but I've been on many blind dates.
I have many qualities that women like.

I'm tall and...

I mean, I'm tall...

and I went to a good school.

And my job...

Well, I had a good job.

You're not getting the point.

This is a reality dating show.

You need to have the qualities
the viewers want in a man.

People watch reality dating shows

to see the difficult, competitive process
of winning someone's heart.

That said, the most important thing is...

What is it?

Victory.

Whether it's a game or a mission,
you must win.

Good point.

The second most important is loyalty.

In a show where people
are put through emotional turmoil,

a loyal man who never betrays you
tends to be more popular.

"He won, and he's loyal?
He sure is a keeper."

Victory and loyalty.

Of course, some might try to rub others
the wrong way to grab attention,

but it's something only pros can do,
so don't you even dream of it.

But victory and loyalty.

They both require intense energy,

so you need something soft as well.

Show them you also have some yudori

and surprise them.

The three key traits of Mr. Popular
on variety shows. The three keys.

THE 3 KEY TRAITS
= VICTORY, LOYALTY, YUDORI

Victory, loyalty and yudori?
For yudori, let's say flexibility instead.

Or a relaxed attitude.
It's a Japanese loanword.

Oh, right.

THE FIRST GAME
TO GAIN AN ADVANTAGE

Once the game begins,
one of the guys will be eliminated,


and the girls will choose their matches.

The ladies will each have
a balloon on their backs.


If the balloon pops, the team is out.

The last team remaining
in the pit is the winner

and will be given a huge advantage.

COUPLE'S PARADISE

Good luck! Let's go!

Good luck!

VICTORY

Let's do this!

There you go.

They're so competitive right off the bat.

They can't just date
when the camera starts rolling.

You need to spark their competitiveness.
Dating can be embarrassing, but not this.

Once they get competitive,
they'll begin to develop some feelings.

That's right.

Ladies, go ahead and pick the person
you want to team up with.

Jeong-heon.

Ki-baek, can you help me down?

Oh, sure.

All right. We got this.

Yes. Hold tight.

Hold tight!

Right there!

Go for it!

-Well done.
-Nice. Good work.

Nice, we did it. Well done.

Song Ki-baek. Don't tire yourself out.
Slow down.

Slow down? What do you mean?

-Let's give them the picture they want.
-The picture they want?

I guess you're suggesting we rig the game.
You're messing with the wrong guy.

You think I'm messing with you
when I'm trying to help you?

Seriously, I can't talk to you.

Shut your mouth. What do you know?

Shut your mouth. What do you know?

-It popped!
-It popped.

We beat them.

We won!

-I won! We won!
-We won!

We're done.

We won!

I thought I was watching an action film.

Well, they've secured enough screen time.

Wow, Song Ki-baek is fiercely competitive.

Hey, right now.
That look on his face. Get it on camera.

Nice. I love that look
on Kim Jeong-heon's face too.

Now this is what I call a fierce showdown
between men, you know?

Yes.

-Are you okay?
-Good work.

We'll freshen up and meet back here.

Hey, Ki-baek.

If the bathrooms are full,
you can use ours.

Oh, thanks.

-Woo-ju.
-Yes?

Are you interviewing Kim Jeong-heon?

-Sure.
-All right.

Seriously, I can't believe this.

You said I was hungry for attention.

You begged me, in tears,
not to go on the show.

You already met another girl?
You really are a piece of garbage!

I'm sick and tired of this too.

Let's just break up. If we end...

Wait, Ki-baek.

Sorry for disturbing you.

You heard everything?

Yes, I did.

Are you going to tell the production team?

Why would I? I'm not the type
to go out of my way to stir up trouble.

So, does it mean I've just lost a guy?

Yes, you just broke up with him.
I heard everything.

No, I'm talking about you.

I bet you now have no feelings
for me whatsoever.

I never had feelings for you.

-What?
-Sorry?

So you weren't interested in me?

No.

Then who...

Well, I'm not sure yet.

Oh, I looked for you to give you this.

I noticed you fell
during the game earlier.

Oh, no. You're hurt.

I should've protected you.

I guess I got
a little too worked up. I'm sorry.

Well, I owe you one,

so I promise I'll choose you
in the first round.

It'd be nice if you could choose me too.

Let's be loyal to each other.

A loyal man who never betrays you
tends to be more popular.


LOYALTY

Anyway, when did you see this?

Well, just now.

You know...

I find Choi Yu-yeong attractive.

Yu-yeong?

Yes. She smiles a lot and seems easygoing.

I thought there was good chemistry
between you and Hui-seon.

Well, I like people who are fun.

So, you find Yu-yeong more fun.

Why did you, everyone's ideal son-in-law,
decide to come on a dating show?

The ideal son-in-law title is nice,
as is being everyone's favorite host.

I'm grateful for everything,
but it felt like something was...

missing in my life.

So for the first time in my life,
I turned around and looked back,

then saw something
I wanted back in my life.

I guess you'll have to edit this out.

Then...

I'm here because I now want to be
everyone's ideal boyfriend.

I see.

The winners will go get the hint.

-Are you all right?
-Yes, I'm fine.

-Here, hold my hand.
-Thank you.

Can we finish this in time?

Watch your step.

-Hey, Min-gu.
-Yes.

What's everyone else doing?

They all paired up and went out.

-Really? Who got left out among the guys?
-Song Ki-baek.

Who's with him?

He wanted to rest.
I'll head back once I'm done here.

How could you leave him alone?

For God's sake.

I'm sorry.

We'll stick to the plan.

Sorry about that.

HEAVEN HOUSE

Man, I'm so frazzled.

Honestly, Kim Jeong-heon's going to make
the others look like fools.

What? Why? Song Ki-baek is here too.

I heard he's why
Men on the Run got canceled.

Oh, really?

Did he bribe the head writer or something?

Hold on.

Maybe he bribed her with something else.

-Like what?
-Well, you know.

-What?
-Is your mind in the gutter?

-No, it's not.
-Mr. Song.

What are you doing...

Hello, Ms. On Woo-ju.

This is our first time chatting
outside of those meetings.

What are you talking about...

I know you absolutely hate befriending
the cast members on your shows.

I must say, I almost took it personally.

But kudos to you for keeping your work
and personal life separate.

What is this nonsense...

Ms. On, just do what you normally do.

Go ahead and neglect me, as usual.

Neglect you? Me?

Oh, we're understaffed right now, so...

It's fine.

Keep neglecting me, as usual.

Since we're not close at all,
I ask you to keep neglecting me.

Go do what you need to do.

I need some alone time,
so you can get going.

Yes, go. Go on.

Go on.

I'll see you later at the sh**t.

My goodness.

I've never seen someone

with such severe seasickness
in the 30 years I've been a fisherman.

And he's a big guy who looks like he could
catch a whale with his bare hands.

Hurry up, will you?

Gross! What the heck is he doing?

I hate you, Mom!

When celebrities have a sh**t,
don't their fans send

coffee trucks
and other goodies to the set?

That's right.

How much does it cost?

Let's find out.

It's 1,2 million won?

It's 1,2 million?

Why? Do you want to start
a fan club for Ki-baek?

That's cool. Very cool.

What?

Why would you come here?

You're here?

A coffee truck?

Where?

I can have a cup of coffee and relax?

Time to relax.

Damn it.

Excuse me.

-Yes?
-Where's the set for Couples Paradise?

You're not allowed to sell
these things here.

Please leave, okay?

I'm not here to sell stuff.

I'm Song Ki-baek's brother.

I see.

Come with me.

Don't litter your cigarette butts.

Sorry.

No cigarette butts!

-Sorry.
-Sorry.

Hey, Un-baek.

-Check the other room.
-Thanks.

Mom missed work to make these.
It was nuts.

No, no. When I drink coffee...

RELAXED ATTITUDE

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Okay.

RELAXED ATTITUDE

You're a big guy,
yet you can't even pull this?

You need to work out.

Hold on.

Will this be enough?

-Thank you.
-My pleasure. Enjoy.

-Thank you.
-No problem. Enjoy.

Dig in.

Yes.

I told you not to go overboard.
Are you advertising that a celeb is here?

What is this?

ENJOY THE FOOD

Why did you make another sign?

Is it that obvious? I'm glad.

I've only seen stuff like this on TV.

Jeong-heon, you're so cool.

Jeong-heon, you really are a celebrity.

I guess I am.

Have some food. Enjoy.

Thank you.

-Enjoy. Yes.
-Enjoy.

What are you doing?

Mom missed work
and stayed up all night to make these.

I don't want them to spoil.

Hey.

Or is it that you're embarrassed?

Hey, why would I be embarrassed?

We'll have them later.

Hey, come on. I know you're embarrassed.

Seriously.

Damn it, I'm an idiot
for lugging them all the way here.

-Ki-baek, what's that?
-Hey.

Is that rice punch?

-Yes.
-Nice, can I have some?

Oh, sure thing.

Is this homemade rice punch?

Yes, it is.

Is this really homemade?

-Yes, help yourself.
-Whoa.

-I'll take one.
-Awesome.

-Help yourself.
-What's this?

What is it?

-Come here.
-Rice punch.

Have some.

Homemade rice punch.

This is so awesome.

-Awesome.
-Seung-hyeon.

-Come on.
-There are snacks.

-You and Geum-bi go over there.
-All right.

Come with me.

-But...
-This way.

-The rice punch is good.
-Last one.

Oh, yes.

Yes, make sure you don't skip meals.

All right.

God, you scared me.

May I help you?

We met earlier.
I'm Song Ki-baek's brother. Hello.

Yes, hi.

Do you have something to tell me?

It's for you.

PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF KI-BAEK

-Excuse me.
-Yes?

Do you have some time?

-Pardon me?
-Do you have some time right now?

Well...

-There are snacks.
-Give me some.

It's good. It's homemade rice punch.

-Can I have this?
-It's so good.

Hey, try it.

You had coffee earlier.

Hey, that's not fair.

Eat up.

Hey, you guys...

Who wants the green tangerine flavor?

-It's tomato juice.
-Tomato.

-Tomato juice.
-Here's some more rice punch.

-Thank you.
-No problem.

-Thank you!
-No problem.

-Yes, thank you.
-Thank you.

Oh, Ki-baek! They're so popular.

They're gone.

Oh, no. They're gone. Bummer.

This is the last one.

It's green tangerine juice.

Here.

Thank you.

It's cute.

We're all ready for the evening, right?

-We're almost ready.
-Hey, Ki-baek. Say cheese.

One more time. Cheese.

So, it's a wrap for today.

The guys can return to their rooms,

or feel free to stay here
to enjoy the food and drinks.

Good work today.

-Thank you.
-Great work.

-Good work.
-Thank you.

Let's clink our glasses.

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

It's okay. We'll take care of that.

Don't worry about it. This is my job.

Director Chae gave him a job
since we're understaffed.

I came voluntarily.

I missed the last ferry.

-Where are you going?
-We're done for the day, so I'm off.

Done for the day?
Says who? We are not done.

The crew is all gone,
so the real fun begins now.

-Pour me one too.
-Sure.

Cheers.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Ki-baek. Let me pour you one.

Oh, I'm good.

You can't drink?

Well, my stomach is a little upset.

Oh, no.

By the way,

she said all the guys had one shocking
thing in common. What could it be?

I have an important announcement.

The four guys here
have something in common.

You'll find it quite shocking.

Find out what it is.

If you figure out what it is,

you'll be given a huge advantage.

Do you know each other personally?

Oh, from the military?

I served in the army.

-Marine Corps.
-I got an exemption.

I served in the air force.

-Your MBTI type?
-ENTJ.

ISFP.

-What's that?
-No idea.

Maybe you all have the same birthday?

-Mine's in October.
-Me too.

Oh, mine too.

Mine's in September.

If it was that easy, they wouldn't have
turned it into a mission like this.

How are we supposed to figure it out
when you guys have no idea whatsoever?

We should put our heads together
and figure it out. Right?

Jeong-heon.

What was the hint you and Hui-seon got?

Can't you tell us?

Sorry?

Okay. Well, it is important to put
our heads together at a time like this.

Here.

What is this?

Anyone know what it means?

-You? Any ideas?
-No clue.

That cat looks very familiar.

-You scared me.
-Why are there so many mosquitoes here?

sh**t. Hold on.

There are so many mosquitoes.

-Please.
-If I spray it here...

I might die first.

Oh, hold on.

I see one here.

Sorry, are you okay?

No, I am not okay.

Hey, you said your stomach was upset.

Microphone check, one, two.

Guys, let's sing!

Hae-ri likes Kim Jeong-heon, right?

I tried to sound her out in the interview.
She said she was a fan.

WHO LIKES WHOM

We have a triangle here.

Can you put this in full-screen mode?

I think it's safe to say Hui-seon
and Seong-jun are already a couple.

Choi Yu-yeong.

She likes Kim Jeong-heon,

but she was giving
Song Ki-baek this look.


If it's Kim Jeong-heon, Song Ki-baek
and Choi Yu-yeong,

I'd say we should go for it
as the show's main love triangle.

As if Kim Jeong-heon would play along.
It's all for show.

-It'll be fun.
-It'll be fun.

Whatever you want to hear
I'll whisper it in your ear


-I love you
-I love you


With your lips

Tell me, tell me softly now
In my ear


Get married!

Tell me softly...

-I-na is there, right?
-She'll line up the song and come back.

Okay, let's go!

I had to throw in this Easter egg.

Get it? Pretty please?

"PRO AND AMATEUR"
BY ROO'RA

Who lined up this song?

It wasn't me.

-Why does it sound familiar?
-How do I know this song?

Okay.

SONG KI-BAEK

I can do anything and everything

I can make you love me

I can touch your heart

I can give you
All the love in the world


I can make you come to me and love me

It's nothing hard

I know when to end things
And how to leave you


There's nothing I don't know
I know everything


We first met like it was

A coincidental joke
And we talked


Your words captured my heart

It's nice to sing this after so long.

Did you line it up?

Hey, variety shows are all about
who gets more screen time.

Stop dwelling on the news show where
the camera was always zoomed in on you.

Listen when I'm talking.

I'm crying this much
Because I wanted to trust you


I thought I'd never trade you
For anything in this world


Who can I talk to?

Would anyone understand the truth?

They all seem buzzed, right?

God, they're all totally drunk now.

Talk about good timing.

Send the message.

MESSAGE THE PERSON
YOU FEEL MOST ATTRACTED TO

Check your phone. They just texted us.

I want to go out into the world too

I want to show you my dreams
With confidence


My wings, I haven't been able to spread

Wow, you're good.

You're like a pro.

Right? He's like a singer.
My ears are happy.

He's really good.

I want to fly

I'm so impressed.

He's a really good singer.

That's our shared phone, right?

Yes.

-Did someone already text back?
-Park Seong-jun.

"Hui-seon, the moment I first saw you,

your intelligent and pure vibes
lit up ten billion stars in my heart."

Ten billion stars? As in ten billion won?

It's anonymous but he's so obvious.

Forward the messages
to the correct recipients.

Will do.

-I-na.
-Yes.

Hey, Min-gu. Pass me the phone.

What about Song Ki-baek?

He's still like a deer in headlights.

-We'll try to get him with Yu-yeong.
-I think he's already fallen for her.

-Really?
-How do you know?

When we were having snacks...

Woo-ju, you saw that too, right?

You were there too.

Oh, yeah.

It's green tangerine juice. Here.

Thank you. It's cute.

He did that?

He must really like her then.

He knew the camera wasn't rolling.

But how come we haven't heard back
from Song Ki-baek yet?

MESSAGE THE PERSON
YOU FEEL MOST ATTRACTED TO

It'd be nice if you could choose me too.

Let's be loyal to each other.

Cute, cute
You're so cute when you smile


You're so adorable, my darling

You're so cool

You look so dashing
That my heart is fluttering like...


I'm learning how to swim
So I won't drown in your eyes


YU-YEONG HAS SEAWEED STUCK
IN HER STRAIGHT, WHITE TEETH

YU-YEONG HAS SEAWEED
STUCK IN HER TEETH

CHOI, TEETH, SEAWEED

YU-YEONG, GET THAT SEAWEED
OUT OF YOUR TEETH

What's this?

Look in the mirror?

Oh, because she's good-looking?

He thinks she's pretty.

Did he write anything else?

What is this? What does he want?

Maybe he's not finished.

I-na, go and see if Yu-yeong has
something on her face.

Me?

Yes, you.

I'm Louis Kim. Just call me Louis.
I'm 30 in Korean age.


I recently launched...

Ladies, you can...

Jesus Christ!

You scared the crap out of me.

They're here to date,
and we're here to work.

You know that, right?

What... Yeah, of course.

As a writer, you should never look
at any of them too fondly,

or hate any of them for that matter.

I do not want to see romance in your eyes
when we're working, okay?

What are you talking about?

Well, Ha-young said
she'd prod Ki-baek into action for sure,

so snap out of it.

Okay?

HEAVEN HOUSE

You didn't get a single message, did you?

NO ONE CHOSE YOU

By the way,
why did you send a message like that?

It's not like I wanted to do it.

But you wrote it.

What are you talking about? Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

It's fine if you want to
come across as quirky,

but you need to
at least get your message across.

Seriously.

What was that? That was so random.

Hey, turn off the camera.

We still have time.

We can film your interview anytime.

Just relax and be yourself.

You're doing your job very well right now.

My job?

You're provoking Kim Jeong-heon.

Are you saying my role here is
to provoke Kim Jeong-heon?

That's your weapon.

Stay right next to him,
even going forward.

And it wouldn't be a bad idea
to play a villain, if you can do it.

You know enough about showbiz.

When playing a minor role,

it helps to craft an image
that is conspicuous and loud.

Mr. Song.

You're doing a great job.

Am I?

Am I doing my job well?

Yes, of course.

Ms. On.

What was the potential you saw in me?

I told you. With your
heartfelt emotions and sincerity...

No, not that.

The real goal.

What?

Forget it.

But...

Well, the trails aren't hard going at all,

so just think that you're going hiking
as a couple and follow the trails.

Follow the trail we built,
and you'll see a blue shed.

Inside, you'll find a hint for the quiz,
so make sure you bring it with you.

We'll get going now.

I didn't know we'd draw names
to choose partners.

Ki-baek, are we meant to be or something?

I don't know about that,
but I know someone's not loyal.

Oh, I have such weak cell reception here.

I swear I sent you a message.

I wonder what happened.

Come on. Let's go.

They said we were going hiking.

Why is it so spooky here?

Well, I guess
this isn't an ordinary hiking trail.

Oh, should we follow Jeong-heon too?

No, we'll go our own way.

What?

But everyone else is going that way.

The couples' hiking adventure has begun.
Spook them and lure them to the shed.

Is the special effects team on standby?

That path looks easier.

It's better to go this way. Trust me.

Un-baek, don't do that here.
Do it over there.

Okay.

Un-baek.

Not too close.
They should reach over there.

Okay, I got it.

Oh, they're here.

-Here they come!
-Hide!

What is this place? It's so spooky here.

Don't you feel cold?

Oh, this is...

It's like the hidden camera prank,
which you often see on variety shows.

Just stay calm and follow me.

I am following you, but...

What?

My God! Ki-baek, your face.

What?

My face?

What about it? Why?

Hurry up and follow me.

-What is it?
-Come on!

Why? What about my face? What is it?

Wait up.

-Don't touch me, please.
-Sorry? Why?

-Moving toward Park Seong-jun.
-What is that on your face?

What's wrong with my face?

Ki-baek.

I don't even see a trail here.
Can we keep going like this?

I really hate stuff like this. I'm scared.

Ki-baek, let's stop here.

Come on, Ki-baek.

Let's head back down, okay?

They said we'd get there in half an hour,
so let's just find the shed.

We need the hint, you know.

I'm right here, so don't worry.

Your face is scaring
the crap out of me right now.

We can do this, okay?

So let's just get that hint
and head back down. All right?

Man, this is nuts.

-Wait up.
-All right.

I'm scared.

We're okay. We'll be all right.

What?

What is it?

Ki-baek!

Ki-baek!

He fell and rolled off the trail? Where?

Well, we just followed the red rope, but...

Hey, call the police.

No, call 911 first.

No, no. Check the memory card
from Yu-yeong's camera first.

Hey, Woo-ju.

Woo-ju! Where are you going?

Mr. Song!

Mr. Song!

Mr. Song!

Where is he?

Mr. Song!

Mr. Song! Where are you? Mr. Song!

Hi. We're by the parking lot
at Mount Seongak.

-I couldn't find him.
-We searched but couldn't find him.

-A member is injured...
-This is nuts.

The guy who went missing in the woods.
Is it my brother?

I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

He won't die like this.
It's too embarrassing for him.

Director Chae.

Yes.

Why didn't you prepare thoroughly?

I'm sorry,

but we ran multiple simulations,
and I came here several times myself.

A cast member
has gone missing in the woods,

and the head writer went
into the woods without a plan.

Director Chae, aren't you in charge here?

I'm sorry.

-I have nothing to say.
-So, Ms. On...

Go and find them both, right now.

Or I'll blow up this damn show.

Ki-baek. Where are you?

Where...

Ki-baek! Mr. Song Ki-baek, where are you?

Mr. Song Ki-baek!

A shoe?

I just twisted it slightly. I'll be fine.

I'll just sleep it off.

I...

That hurt.

Oh, hey. I'm sorry.

Well...

Did we have a fight?

Nope.

But you won't even look at me.
And what about what you said earlier?

You've been acting strange
since yesterday. What's going on?

Don't you regret your decision?

Am I performing well enough
according to your plan?

You said I should do something,
and when you asked me

if I wanted to do it,
my heart skipped a beat.

Because everyone said it was all over,

but you said I should start afresh.

But who knew that new beginning...

meant that I had to let someone
use me as her tool?

What are you talking about?

When did I use you as a tool?

It was because of Kim Jeong-heon.

Everyone's a pro in this game,

so you needed an amateur
who could provoke Kim Jeong-heon

in an unpredictable manner.

And that's me, Song Ki-baek.

Look, I think there's been
a serious misunderstanding.

You know, I'm hurt.

I mean, I get it.

But you, Ms. On, you really hurt me.

But you know what?

I can't quite figure out why I'm hurt.

What was the potential you saw in me?

What was it that you saw in me?

My heart fluttered.

And right now...

my heart is fluttering.

FRANKLY SPEAKING

Sorry. I've never once thought
it could be true love.


Please welcome the new member.

The new girl is really something.

Is there someone you like here?

Are you all right? If you're having
a hard time, talk to someone.

You can talk to me too.

I like her even more now. Way more.

-Just say it. Don't keep it bottled up.
-I'm hurt, okay? I'm upset.

There's something I want to do.

Woo-ju, we've got a really big problem.
