THE FOREST THRIVES UNDER THE CARE OF THE GUARDIAN DEITY OF THE MOUNTAINS

FAIRIES' BEATING WINGS STIR THE PETALS

AS DANDELION SEEDS SCATTER ACROSS THE MEADOW…

THE WORLD OF FAIRY TALES UNFOLDS ITSELF

I wonder where the lamp is

DRESS CODE: FAIRY TALE CHARACTERS

The lamp that grants wishes

But I…

Today's an exception I'm not the magical being of the lamp

Freed from the inflamed lymph nodes

I'm Cho-nie, the magical being of the lymph nodes!

That's my concept for today.

Hello, everyone.

I'M CHO-NIE, IT'S A PLEASURE

HE MUST BE PLANNING TO USE THE LAMP FOR ANOTHER BIT…

Sorry, but…

-I'm not done yet. -Hello!

-I'm not done yet. -Hello!

-My bit's not over. -Who are you?

-I need more time. -I want to stay…

-Wait-- -Shut it.

-Please. -I want to stay young forever.

Forgive me--

I don't want to grow up.

-Your show-- -What's your name?

-Your entrance is set-- -Hi.

-I hate to interrupt-- -Get lost.

I want to stay young forever.

-The Aladdin performance isn't-- -We are Neverland!

Excuse me, but the show Aladdin isn't over yet.

My gosh!

WHAT'S A LAMP DOING HERE?

HERE COMES CHO-NIE

Did you just fart?

Who is the master of the lamp?

I'll grant you three wishes.

What's your first wish?

Let me think…

Wire me 100 million won right away.

Poof!

Okay, Ms. Kim Sook's vehicle is parked across the field.

Inside, there's 100 million won in cash.

It's yours.

-I see. -Amazing, right?

My purse is filled with bills.

CHO-NIE'S RICH FRIEND

What's your second wish?

I want my new album to be a smash hit.

SOMEONE RUSHES IN

PETER PAN'S ARCHNEMESIS, CAPTAIN HOOK

You, Hook! I didn't appreciate you barging in.

I loved that.

Must you do that?

Love it.

HOOK TURNS OUT TO BE PETER'S BESTIE

PETER PAN AND CAPT. HOOK'S DANCE CHALLENGE

Man, he's learned the moves already.

He's a better dancer than some of the idols.

-Gosh. -Wow.

-Hello. -Hello.

Do you perhaps own this plot of land?

Is that it?

AN ELDERLY MAN DRESSED IN WHITE

DOES HAVE THE VIBE OF THE LAND OWNER

-Is that it? -Let me take them.

Tell me.

Are these axes perhaps in red and blue?

Look, Hook. Watch it, okay?

It's just that…

One's in gold and the other's in silver.

-You saw them wrong. -I blame the eye patch.

I couldn't tell the colors.

Let's now begin a color blindness test.

-Hey! -A color blindness test?

STARTLED

-Sae-ho. -Yeah?

You have to look out for me, don't you think?

Help me survive, okay?

But Jin-kyung,

everyone now knows that you made an honest mistake.

-They were surprised-- -Did you have to bring it up?

Don't remind the viewers of the long-forgotten memory.

Jin-kyung--

Someone stole my tarts!

Who dared to take them? Where are my tarts?

-Just like a scene from a musical. -Was it you?

Or you?

-Gosh. -Did you take them?

-I didn't. -Was it you?

-Did you take my tarts? -Gosh.

Like watching a musical.

I thought you'd loosen up a bit after hitting the 30th-year milestone.

-What? -Don't you think so?

-It's the opposite. -Really?

-I have to plow on, even harder… -Where do your eyes end?

I love how colorful our costumes are.

If I may…

-Shall we present our inspirations? -Good idea.

My inspiration is the Queen of Hearts

from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Oh, the Queen of Hearts.

Why does he look so frail anyway?

-I guess I do. -You look too weak to be Captain Hook.

Peter Pan could probably take me in a fight.

Our Captain Hook must've starved himself on his ship.

I shall conquer the sea

and take Peter Pan down!

Oh, now I see it.

-Did you plan together? -About Peter Pan,

what does Captain Hook do to Peter Pan?

-Does he mistreat the kid? -Why don't they get along?

Let's bury the hatchet, then.

All right. But if you ask me, you probably started it.

Let's be good friends.

I bet Peter picked a fight.

Let's have a meal together.

We made our peace. Captain Hook and I get along fine now.

-Next. -Who's next?

-Please introduce yourself. -Okay. Hello.

-I want to stay… -In Everland?

Well, yeah.

Aren't you a staff member there?

-At Amazon Express? -It's Neverland.

Amazon Express?

Can you do the dance for us?

AMAZON EXPRESS INSTRUCTION SONG SCREWBALLS' VERSION

Expect water splashes

-From front and back -I'm from Neverland.

Your socks will get drenched

Your pants too

We're in the Amazon

We're in the Amazon

This isn't it, guys.

-Amazon -You got the wrong idea.

-No, we didn't. -Okay.

Hi, I'm Amazon.

-How hilarious. -Can you introduce yourself?

I'm a boy who doesn't want to grow up.

I'm Peter Pan, the boy who wishes to stay young.

I had no idea Woo-jae would dress up as Captain Hook.

I didn't think anyone would choose Peter either.

You'll probably find my character very familiar.

-It's-- -I have the answer.

-Yes? -You're Nol-bu.

-What gave you that idea? -Aren't I right?

-Are you the Deity of Dongmyo Market? -I'm afraid not.

-Smurf? -No.

-Really? -Rat from Kong-jwi and Pat-jwi?

That's incorrect.

WHAT KIND OF INSULT WILL JIN-KYUNG THROW AT HIM?

I'm sorry.

-It's just… -We understand.

I'm too rueful to come up with clever lines just now.

My mind is filled with regret.

I'm the magical being of lymph nodes, who recently had surgery on them.

NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS SAY, JIN-KYUNG CAN'T EVEN SMILE

-My lymph nodes-- -Stop bringing them up.

Can you even recall my surgery?

WHINING EVEN AS JIN-KYUNG SHARES HER DISTRESS

-Her heart's shattered. -Oh, right.

Learn to read the room.

-Don't be such a baby. -Who'd be hurting more, you or me?

-Are you a monk? -I'm the guardian deity of mountains.

Oh, the guardian deity.

You're so quiet today.

Did something happen?

Not at all.

Why do you stick to white clothes lately?

DARN IT

Let me break it down for you.

On today's shoot,

-I may zone out a few times. -Let's be understanding.

I may seem distracted sometimes,

but those moments

are when I'm overcome by regret and remorse.

Such moments come and go these days.

-Please be understanding. -She's all about a black-and-white look.

I'll try to bring my energy level up. I do sincerely apologize.

Sook and I decided to support you through our costume choices…

-That's right. -…one in blue and the other in red,

-with no room for confusion. -Exactly, with stark contrast.

-Don't worry. -We're being neutral.

We only prepared these costumes since the election is behind us.

She's had a sleepless week.

A REMORSEFUL WEEK

Today's dress code is characters from fairy tales.

Let's say you could enter the world of a fairy tale you favored as a child.

Is there a character you'd like to meet?

My answer is Pat-jwi.

-Pat-jwi. -May I ask why?

Is she the good girl?

-Yeah. -That's Kong-jwi.

-Is Kong-jwi the good one? -Yeah.

-Pat-jwi… -Kong-jwi's the kind one.

Kong-jwi's the kind girl.

Whichever girl Sook ends up meeting,

she's sure to think Sook is stronger than her.

I won't sit back and accept abuse.

-Look at her fist. -She's not working me to the bones.

-Just look. -I won't wait around

for a toad to come help me fill up the water pot.

Parts where Kong-jwi gets bullied made me so sad as a child.

-You found them upsetting? -Yeah.

I'd like to meet the Beast from Beauty and the Beast.

The Beast. Wait.

He's right here.

THE BEAST

Who do you want to meet, Jin-kyung?

If I could travel across time and space to meet someone,

I choose…

-myself before June this year. -Oh, come on!

…is myself before June this year.

I WANT TO TURN BACK TIME

-Seriously, Jin-kyung? -I mean it.

-But I'm not kidding. -Stop it, okay?

-Must you bring it up? -She's a true professional.

I need to tell her something.

-To myself, I mean. -Like what?

I'll tell myself to stay holed up in my home.

-She should just stay put at home. -Without doing anything?

-Jin-kyung. -Yes?

If only you had answered the phone.

-We kept calling, you know. -I hear you had 80 missed calls.

I've been wondering. How many missed calls did you get?

More than 80, I hear.

Isn't Director Park 78 of those calls?

I hear when Jin-kyung finally woke up, he thought a war broke out in Korea.

SHE'S UNBELIEVABLE

All those 80 or so calls

came from all walks of life…

THIS GUY INCLUDED

…including my manager, a designer,

a model, a comedian, and a singer.

People in various industries and diverse age groups called me.

I had callers ranging from teenagers to octogenarians,

from my daughter Ra-el's friends to my mother's friends.

We even reached out to the hotel you were staying in.

They did it to learn the number of the room you were staying in

and called the landline, but you were sound asleep.

-Yes, even that plan failed. -Exactly.

By the way, Jin-kyung, you earned my respect on one point.

My gosh.

WHAT CAN THAT BE?

-You sleep like a baby. -Jin-kyung does that, yeah.

-She's a sound sleeper. -Sure.

That's why she's so tall.

You grew up to be tall for a reason.

You should do a commercial for your bed brand.

-"Peaceful nights guaranteed." -I wonder what the brand was.

-Tell us. -I want to know about your duvet

and your pillow too.

I'm dying to know.

Maybe it's your costume,

but you do look thinner, Jin-kyung.

From the stress, I presume.

Why waste good food on me?

OH, DEAR

-What can we say when you go so far? -Don't do that.

Why waste fine water and rice?

I deserve none of them.

I honestly feel that way.

Didn't you have some snacks in your car earlier?

Let me check just in case.

I think she did have some.

I saw her brush some crumbs off.

I noticed them too.

Are you skipping lunch, Jin-kyung?

We'll see about that.

-Let's see. -Sure, eat if you're hungry.

She's lost so much weight. She's skin and bones.

Our theme for today

is to survive as characters from fairy tales.

Become figures from fairy tales and overcome various trials and hardships

to complete your own fairy tales.

You must win the games to secure the dishes for your lunch.

All of them are group games.

But we've never won in a group game.

If any of you slip up,

all of you may have to go hungry.

Now, please come and see the prize of the first game.

-Braised short ribs. -Seafood hot pot?

Dang, it's short rib soup.

-Short rib soup? -It looks so good.

Short ribs are huge.

Your first game's prize is the braised short ribs.

It's my favorite.

The first fairy tale is well known across the globe.

This classic has been adapted into a film and a musical.

-Is it Aladdin? -Introducing…

The Wizard of Oz.

In The Wizard of Oz, Alice finds herself in a strange land.

THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT WORKS

Dorothy, the protagonist, gets swept up in a powerful tornado…

-So Dorothy's the lead. -…and reaches the land of Oz.

So it has nothing to do with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland?

Hold on.

DOROTHY AND ALIVE HAVE NEVER MET

Where does she appear?

-Alice's Adventures in Wonderland? -Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

She rules over the trumps, right?

"Trump"?

-Aren't I right? -You're right.

-As in trump cards. -Yeah.

RESTLESS AT THE MENTION OF "TRUMP"

-You got it right. -I wasn't talking about the person.

I meant the deck of cards.

Let's steer clear of politics.

How else can I talk about the trump cards?

-Don't talk about the president. -But the cards--

Why would you mention that keyword, Sook?

I only meant the US president,

-President Trump. -That's fine. It's the US politics--

TODAY'S THEME IS "FAIRY TALE"

In The Wizard of Oz, a powerful tornado carries Dorothy

to the land of Oz.

Dorothy then befriends the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Lion.

During their adventure together, the friends overcome their weaknesses,

discover new abilities,

and learn the meanings of friendship and teamwork.

Right.

I remember the Lion being very timid.

Doesn't he turn out to be sweet?

The Tin Man is missing his heart or something, right?

We prepared three games based on the three characters

from The Wizard of Oz.

The Tin Man would love the first game

as he wishes to have a heart and feel emotions.

It's called "Emotional Animal Quiz."

-"Emotional Animal Quiz"? -That's a new one.

You'll be presented with a keyword of an animal experiencing an emotion.

Use body language

to let your teammate know the animal and the emotion.

"IS IT AN ANGRY SKUNK?" YOU HAVE 100 SECONDS

Let's decide the order.

Who wants to kick it off?

The person at the end matters most, no?

-Woo-jae. -I'll make the guesses.

-We need you there. -Do that, Woo-jae.

-The first to go… -You do it, Sae-ho.

-…should be Sook. -Okay.

-I'll go after her. -Good idea.

That's settled, and you correct the course after Jin-kyung.

Dang, the course correction?

Okay, if Jin-kyung gets us off course…

Me after Jin-kyung? I might not be able to correct our course.

What if I do that?

HER POSITION IS THE ISSUE

-Jin-kyung. -Turn around.

She's staring at the keyword.

SHE TAKES THE FINAL SPOT

Copy the other person exactly, down to their expression.

Okay. Let's speed things up.

Ready.

Set.

"EMOTIONAL ANIMAL QUIZ" BEGINS!

ANNOYED SCORPION

SCREAMS

Damn it. I can't believe it!

-Oh, I got it. -What the heck?

I can't wait.

-Hey! -Exactly.

ARE THEY GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?

Hey, you!

Unbelievable. Hey!

-Is the answer an angry scorpion? -Yeah!

It's pretty close.

Hey!

HMM

-Oh! -She got it.

It's an excited crane.

-Why the crane? -The crane, really?

-That's incorrect! -Turn around!

IMPATIENT CRAB

-You interpreted it as excitement? -An angry scorpion.

-What do I do? -Hey, you should've given me a heads-up.

Gosh, I don't know what to do.

-Hurry! -What?

Come on!

Quickly!

Hurry! I don't know what to do!

Let's get a move on!

Come on!

Hey, hurry up!

-Go on! -A restless crab?

-Yeah, that's it. -Okay.

Quick!

THE IMPATIENCE IS OBVIOUS

AND THE GESTURE CAN ONLY MEAN ONE ANIMAL

We have no time to lose!

An impatient seagull.

-Goodness. -Are you for real?

Why the seagull?

Doesn't this gesture scream a crab?

Wait a second.

BEWILDERED HORSE

Can we shuffle up the order now?

-Okay. -What?

Right, got it.

Oh, man.

HUH?!

WHAT DO I DO?

WATCH ME NEIGH-HI-HEH

NIEGH-HI-HEH

WITH A LIBERAL DASH OF DRAMATICS

IS IT A CRAZY HORSE?

This is tricky.

Dang it. We're screwed.

Come on. We did fine.

TRUST ME, I GOT YOUR BACK

A LONG HORSEY FACE

I THINK I GET IT…

A horse in breeding season.

A horse in breeding season.

Incorrect.

TAKE A GUESS WITH THE CAST

What was the emotion?

This is pretty fun.

STRANGELY DISTASTEFUL

I think I got it!

-Hey. -What?

THE ANSWER

IS AN EXCITED SNAKE

SNORTS

SLITHERING

SLITHERING

A lizard in mating season.

-Mating season again? -That's incorrect.

Your time is up.

-Just a minute. -Why the fixation on mating season?

-It was suggestive. -Look.

You don't have to answer, Jin-kyung.

Woo-young and Woo-jae, what did you think this meant?

-An angry scorpion. -An ostrich.

Wait, an ostrich. I thought it meant an ostrich.

-It's a scorpion! -Obviously.

An angry one at that.

Sae-ho!

-This is how you mimic a scorpion. -Like this.

-Oh, that's true. -I suppose.

-This is an ostrich. -Of course.

You should kick us off, Woo-jae.

-You're all hopeless. -Hey.

-You're next, Jin-kyung. -It'd be better for you in the middle.

You should stand next to Woo-jae.

Why don't you make the guesses, Sook?

-That's a good idea. -Okay.

By the way, the keywords are too difficult!

What do you suggest we do with "bewildered horse"?

That's your responsibility, dude.

Why don't you give it a shot?

What's that supposed to be?

-What the heck? -I look bewildered, no?

-All right. -Good luck, Sae-ho.

-Okay. -Ready.

Let's do this, Team Screwballs!

Set.

MELANCHOLY COW

-Good luck, Jin-kyung. -You've got this.

Just copy what Woo-jae's doing.

We need an exact copy.

Do whatever he's doing.

FOCUS, I'M A MELANCHOLY COW

MR. TIN MAN TRIES TO CHANNEL MELANCHOLY

MOO

WITH MELANCHOLY

Moo.

HMM…

Moo.

Moo.

A SIGH-LAUGH

Moo.

THE TONGUE ACTION NOW HAS THE CENTRAL POSITION

Do it. Come on.

Let's see it.

Moo.

Gosh, I'd say…

-Are you sad? -Moo.

-I guess that's sadness. -Moo!

It sounds so creepy.

MOO!

WHAT THE HECK

MOO… DY?

Take a guess, quick.

WAUGH, WAUGH

-Take a guess, quick. -That gives me too many options.

A sad cow.

-That's incorrect. -It's pretty close, come on!

Seriously, it was close enough.

What was the answer?

What on earth?

Please, Jin-kyung.

Jin-kyung?

Please…

TAKE A GUESS WITH THE CAST

Why is it so quiet?

WHAT THE…

Why the silence?

THERE'S AN ANIMAL THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS?

But what about the emotion? What is it?

SCUTTLING AWAY

What about the emotion?

I don't like the vibe I'm getting.

Show it to me.

He's gone insane.

He has, hasn't he?

-What? -This is what he did.

This?

And what's the animal?

I HAVE NO IDEA

-Oh, I got it. -What is it?

An ostrich in mating season.

You got the animal, at least.

It's still incorrect.

What on earth?

Let's begin again.

What was this for? Why cover the crotch?

Let me explain.

Why cover this area?

I couldn't find other ways to express it.

-What was the keyword? -Embarrassed ostrich.

-Embarrassed? -You could've shielded your face.

Yeah, an embarrassed person covers up their face.

-Like this. -If you cover up the crotch…

What are we to make of that?

I'm unleashing my power now.

-Go ahead. -I took my wig off.

You can take my place, Woo-jae.

Yeah, go ahead.

Where do we place Jin-kyung, though?

Can we play the game without her?

Hold on. Don't you need your stylist, Woo-jae?

You're good.

I'm a total macho, so I'm good.

What was that?

-A total macho. -A tricky match?

A man with a totally disgusting manner.

A MAN WITH A TOTALLY DISGUSTING MANNER

I'm the real tough guy.

-Ready. -Let's go, guys!

-All right. -We've got this.

??? CHICKEN

This is just… Oh, man.

THRUST, THRUST

CHOO-CHOO

CHOO-CHOO?

OKAY FOR NOW

Are you ready?

That's it?

WHAT EMOTION DOES THAT CONVEY?

-Take a guess. -I wonder what that is.

-It's a tough one. -I guess…

A chicken selling skewers?

Is it a choosy chicken?

IT'S A SHADY CHICKEN

Isn't my answer close?

Okay, let's roll.

SENTIMENTAL PIG

VERY REALISTIC OINKING

WITH A LITTLE SPLASH OF SENTIMENTALITY

-Oh, okay. -All right.

GRUNT, GRUNT

Add sentimentality.

Make it sentimental.

Woo-young, add a longing look.

I can't believe this.

TIME TO USE HIS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AS AN IDOL

What is he looking at?

I got the idea.

DOES HE HAVE RHINITIS?

You sound like you're coughing up phlegm.

WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?

That's it. There you go.

Sentimental…

Noh Joo-hyun, no. A sentimental pig.

-Okay. -That is correct!

MOVING ON TO THE NEXT KEYWORD WITHOUT HESITATION

INDIGNANT ORANGUTAN

ME? YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!

YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG

OKAY, I GOT IT

PLEASE BELIEVE ME, IT WAS JUST A MISUNDERSTANDING!

I don't get it.

I honestly don't.

-An indignant monkey. -My gosh.

-You have to allow it. -An indignant chimpanzee?

It's close enough to orangutan.

An indignant orangutan!

Okay. That's correct.

Your time is up.

-He told the others the sentimental pig. -Wait.

-Who did? -Director Park.

-What was that? -Did you say the keyword

"sentimental pig" out loud?

Of course not.

What? Wait, I couldn't hear clearly.

Did Sae-ho tell you "sentimental pig" during the game?

No way. Why would I do that?

I'm not a nutjob.

-Add sentimentality. -Why would I?

-He didn't tell me. -Your track record wouldn't agree.

-No way. -Who says so?

You saw me say it? I see.

-Who saw him do it? -Well…

I was denying everything, dude.

THE TRICKSTER DUO HAS A COORDINATION ISSUE

Including the one you got by cheating, you had two correct answers.

-Unfortunately-- -Rather than cheating,

let's call it a cutesy trick.

-I didn't think Sae-ho would… -Why did you cheat, though?

You failed the challenge of Emotional Animal Quiz.

We have two other games

as well as great dishes lined up.

-Don't lose spirit just yet. -Okay.

Let's get going.

-Okay. -Let's go.

WILL THEY BE ABLE TO WIN THE NEXT GAME?

The inspiration behind the second game

is the brainless Scarecrow.

The brainless Scarecrow?

They must've prepared something difficult considering this talk about the brain.

I'll give you the rundown.

It'd be perfect for the Scarecrow

who craved wisdom to make up for the lack of a brain.

This is "Five-Level Math Quiz."

MATH, YOU SAY?

SHIVERING

A DEEP SIGH

I gave up on math long ago.

You're testing our math skills?

-Woo-young's no good either. -Totally.

He recently asked for a reservation at one of my favorite haunts.

So I asked about the size of his company. He said, "Two stylists, two managers,

and four artists."

"In total, that's 15 people."

Need I say more?

Can you believe he threw me under the bus to get a laugh?

You can't even do simple sums?

WOO-YOUNG HAS A FACE TO KEEP AS AN IDOL

BUT IT WAS FUNNY

"So how many in total?"

"Wait, um… Fifteen!"

WHAT'S WITH HIM? CRACKING UP

-It's funny. -Here's the answer. A stuttering pig.

-Oh, that is correct. -All right.

This will be another group game.

Ranging from Level One to Level Five,

five math quizzes of varying difficulty will be presented to you.

-Okay. -Level One is the easiest,

-while Level Five is the hardest. -Okay.

Please solve all five quizzes

-within the three-minute time limit. -It's 276,000 won.

Can my neighbor help out if I fail to solve the quiz?

If you're stuck…

-Can I take a pass? -…you can leave it to the next person.

-Okay. -Then, it becomes their responsibility.

-We have Woo-jae anyway. -Woo-jae can handle whatever.

Toss me all your questions.

THEIR TRUSTED CRUTCH

Toss me all your questions.

SPEAKING OF WOO-JAE…

HE'S A GIFTED MATHEMATICIAN

EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING SCREAMS THE NATURAL SCIENCE TRACK

SOLVING A TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTION WITH MENTAL MATH

How is it 400?

MR. HOT BRAINIAC OF SCREWBALLS

I do feel shy admitting to this,

I tend to act dumb on shows to make things more fun,

pretending like I can't solve questions.

I'll crack the Level Four quiz

and leave you the glorious Level Five one. Isn't that neat?

You can take Level Five.

That won't be as fun.

-If I solve Level Five-- -We'll laugh for you.

Forget it. It won't be fun.

Show the world how smart you are.

There's no need, though. I'm good, Sook.

I don't know how good you are,

-but I did work on math too. -Right.

So, y equals 2x plus 6.

STARTING FROM LINEAR FUNCTIONS

Great job. We're done with the linear functions.

ALREADY?

If y equals -2x²,

the graph with the same shape will be placed down here.

MASTERED THE QUADRATIC FUNCTIONS

That's the basics, right?

You got the inscribed angle right and all others too.

PERFECT SCORE ON MIDDLE-SCHOOL GED

REAL STUDY KING, JIN-KYUNG

Do you want to handle Level Five?

Oh, no. I'll take Level Four.

For your information, Level Five quizzes

were written by Mr. Chung Seung-je, the famous instructor.

You can take Level Five, then. I'm not acquainted with Mr. Chung.

How is that relevant?

Does your math ability depend on friendship?

Let's just give it a go.

-You'll take Level Five. -No can do.

-Just this once. -Sook, that'd be too difficult.

-Please spare me. -Take Level Five.

We can show you what the dish is. Why don't you reconsider after that?

-Yeah! -Please bring it in.

THIS TIME, IT'S THIS GORGEOUS BRAISED SPICY CHICKEN

Can we have some shaved ice?

THE DIRECTOR CRACKS UP

-We'll throw that in if you win the game. -Okay!

Can you tell us the school level equivalent to the Level Five quizzes?

Please explain it to Woo-jae.

Frankly, Level Five ones are difficult.

-Hear that, Woo-jae? -He should handle them.

I'll take Level Three questions.

Let's rearrange the seats.

From Woo-jae's current seat to Woo-young's current seat,

the difficulty of the quizzes will increase.

BUT ONE DISPUTE HASN'T BEEN SETTLED

Come on, Sook!

You did better than I.

What do you mean? I was…

Decide by Rock-Paper-Scissors.

-Back in my time, kids didn't learn math. -I didn't even attend school.

I didn't attend any, okay?

You snooze, you get Level Two. Rock, paper, scissors.

WOO-YOUNG WINS

ALL RIGHT!

I had the military drill in my curriculum, okay?

I don't even know what that is, Sook.

AT ANY RATE, IT'S ALL SETTLED

Honestly, I'm no good at all.

Pretty please…

Division takes precedence, right?

They'll probably give you a simple multiplication.

IF YOU SAY SO…

Let's do this.

-Toss it over if you feel unsure. -Okay.

What if I end up saddled with all five quizzes?

-That could happen. -Ready.

IT WEIGHS DIFFERENTLY ON EVERYONE

-Set. -Work hard.

THEY ONLY HAVE 3 MINUTES

Go. Here's Level One.

-Eighteen. -That's correct.

BREEZING THROUGH

-Here's Level Two. -You had to push it that far?

What is that?

I'm taking a pass.

-What is that? I'm taking a pass. -Really?

-Really? -Yeah.

The answer is five.

-That's incorrect. -Fifteen, then.

That's incorrect.

Solve it properly.

What's that anyway? I've never seen anything like it.

-Why is one-third down there? -What's that about?

-Forty-five. -That is correct.

What does that mean?

A FRACTION OVER A FRACTION?

LEVEL 3 QUIZ

I have to figure out the x, correct?

HURRIEDLY STARTS TAKING A MEMO

HIS GAZE STARTS TO WANDER

Well…

Just a second. So that's ten.

Take a pass.

You can solve it with mental math, no?

TEARS

LEVEL 3 QUIZ IS PASSED ON TO JIN-KYUNG

I RECEIVED THE PERFECT SCORE IN THE MIDDLE-SCHOOL GED

SOLVES THE QUIZ WITHOUT HESITATION

Two and five.

That is correct.

My gosh.

One, two, three…

LEVEL 4 QUIZ

FIND THE NUMBER OF SHORTEST PATHS BETWEEN A AND B

WHAT IS THAT?

A SUDDEN SPIKE IN THE DIFFICULTY

One, two, three. One, two, three…

Twelve.

-That's incorrect. -I'll take a pass.

CRACKS UP

She gave up much quicker than I expected.

We're passing questions around.

THE LEVEL 4 QUIZ IS NOW IN WOO-JAE'S HAND

FIND THE NUMBER OF SHORTEST PATHS BETWEEN A AND B

"Shortest paths"?

-Ten. -That's correct.

SO COOL

ANY SHORTEST PATHS INCLUDE 3 STEPS TO THE RIGHT

AND 2 STEPS UP

AS SUCH, THE ANSWER IS 10, FROM 5! DIVIDED BY 3! AND 2!

THEY'VE MADE IT PAST LEVEL 4

So, give us the last one.

FIND CONDITIONS THAT MAKE A SQUARE ROOT A NATURAL NUMBER

We're all set.

Stay tuned for the Joo Woo-jae Show.

N IS A NATURAL NUMBER THAT MAKES 108/N A NATURAL NUMBER…

I have to sum up all natural numbers that meet the criterion?

HE STARTS SOLVING THE QUIZ RIGHT AWAY

What are natural numbers?

-Numbers out in the wild? -Yeah.

Oh, are they the numbers that only have two divisors?

-Yeah. -Like seven, for example.

We only need to keep dividing the number.

THOSE ARE PRIME NUMBERS

DESPITE THE INTERRUPTIONS FROM THE MATH IDIOTS

WOO-JAE KEEPS WORKING ON THE QUIZ

Sum of the natural numbers, right?

-I have the answer. -Let's hear it.

It's 138.

That is incorrect.

Really? Just a second. Oh, right. There's more.

HE PUTS HIS THINKING CAP ON ONCE MORE

THIS IS DIFFICULT

EVEN WOO-JAE SEEMS UNSURE

-Is it 150? -That is correct.

-The answer's 150? -Yes.

SOLUTION TO THE QUIZ THAT EVEN TROUBLED WOO-JAE

108/N MUST BE A SQUARED NUMBER TO MAKE 108/N A NATURAL NUMBER

FOR 2²×3³/N TO BE A SQUARED NUMBER

N MUST BE 3, 12, 27, OR 108 THE SUM OF POSSIBLE NS IS 150

WOO-JAE INITIALLY ANSWERED 138 BECAUSE HE HAD MISSED 12

AT ANY RATE, THEY TIMED OUT AND FAILED

DISAPPOINTED

I missed 12 because I got the division wrong.

It's such a shame.

Normally, Woo-jae could solve it in his sleep.

Not exactly. I need some time too.

Let us try one more time.

-Would you like another round? -Yes.

-One more, then. -Okay.

It seems an apology is in order.

I underestimated you

and narrowed down my scope of thinking.

At any rate, I got it now.

Will we continue to get math quizzes?

In that case, I'm taking off for the day.

SIT BACK DOWN

Let's have another run.

-Here's an extra set for you. -All right.

Give us this extra set of five quizzes,

-and we'll make history. -Let's do that.

…and we'll make history.

-Okay. -Let's do that.

All right. I somehow feel like we can win.

-Here goes. -What if they made things more difficult?

-Ready. -Please don't make me…

-Set. -…solve a quadratic equation.

Go.

SO IT BEGINS

A SETBACK FROM THE START

-What's that supposed to be? -Take a pass.

Why is there an exclamation mark next to four?

What the heck is that?

FACTORIAL

What's that supposed to be? I've never seen anything like it.

-Hurry. -I'm taking a pass.

Me too.

-Sixteen. -That's incorrect.

-What? -For the mystery number.

That's for Level One?

-Just take the pass. -Is it four?

-Take the pass. -Four.

-And we did. -It's 24.

That is correct.

-I don't get it. -Why? And how is that for Level One?

THANK GOODNESS FOR WOO-JAE

ANYWAY…

Woo-jae has to solve all the remaining questions.

WOO-JAE PROMISED TO WRITE HISTORY

BUT THE MULTIPLE PASSES COULDN'T HAVE BEEN WHAT HE HAD IN MIND

WOO-JAE MAY BE BRIGHT

BUT COULD HE SOLVE ALL 5 QUIZZES WITHIN THE TIME LIMIT?

LET'S TACKLE LEVEL 2 FIRST

-One. -That is correct.

X MINUS Y IS 2, AND X² PLUS Y² IS 34

IF X AND Y ARE NATURAL NUMBERS, WHAT IS X PLUS Y?

WOO-JAE'S MIND

Three and five.

-Eight. -That's correct.

YOU'RE AMAZING, WOO-JAE

REACHED LEVEL 4 IN NO TIME

A total of eight teams in an all-play-all tournament?

Why go through the hassle instead of a regular tournament?

HEH-HEH

Could "Yangju" be a hint?

Not at all.

HOW MANY TOTAL GAMES IF 8 SOCCER TEAMS PLAY A MATCH AGAINST EVERY OTHER TEAM?

I have the answer.

It's 28.

That is correct.

THE FOLLOWING COMBINATION CALCULATES THE SELECTION OF 2 TEAMS OUT OF 8

AS SUCH, THE ANSWER IS 28 GAMES

WHEN SOLVING THE QUIZ WITHOUT THE FORMULA

LEAVE OUT GAMES ALREADY COUNTED

All right. So, how did we do? Do you have more quizzes?

That's the quiz in Woo-jae's chosen level.

ALSO WRITTEN BY THE FAMOUS MR. CHUNG SEUNG-JE

Dang it.

They're determined not to feed us, all right.

-May I? -You want this?

WHAT COULD IT BE ABOUT?

THERE ARE THREE COORDINATES: A(0,A), B(2,0), AND C(4,6)

FIND THE CONSTANT "A" THAT MINIMIZES THE SUM OF THE LENGTHS OF AB AND AC

HYPER-FOCUSED

WILL HE BE ABLE TO SOLVE THE FINAL QUIZ TOO?

THE TIMER HAS HIT THE 2-MINUTE MARK

THE CONSTANT THAT MINIMIZES THE SUM… THE THREE COORDINATES…

Huh? I have the answer.

-Huh? I have the answer. -Yes?

Let me just put it out there.

Two.

That is correct.

-That is correct. -It's a success.

WOO-JAE DID IT

ONLY 17 SECONDS REMAINED

Okay, give us lunch.

WOO-JAE PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE

-Gosh, I'm surprised we made it. -Seriously.

How did you crack it anyway?

-Tell us. -I'll explain it to you.

Okay!

The sum has to be minimized, right?

None of the other stuff mattered.

-The minimum. -Forget them.

We're adding the lengths of these two lines.

If the sum is to be minimized…

We'll move this… Look closely.

Let's mark a dot in a spot that'd create a perfect symmetry about the y-axis.

Connect it to Point A, and it'd look like this, right?

THE LENGTHS OF THE YELLOW LINE AND THE GREEN LINE ARE THE SAME

For the entire length of this green line to be minimized…

-It should be two. -…the green line should be straight.

-What? -Excuse me?

So, it's two, right?

So what?

It's too hot. Make it brief.

Only when these two lines form one straight line together,

-their sum is minimized, right? -Sure.

Try minimizing Jin-kyung's distress first. She's getting heat exhaustion.

Remember the symmetry about the y-axis.

Forget about A.

The heat's getting to Jin-kyung. Think about helping her first.

All right, smarty-pants.

-Good for you, dude. -Yeah.

-We need the y-intercept. -White patterned rice cake?

With the y-intercept…

Patterned rice cake is really…

-It tastes amazing. -Totally.

-It's a must. -The chewy texture makes it my favorite.

I recommend dipping it in honey

-before taking a bite. -I love it.

SINCE NO ONE IS INTERESTED

WE'LL ADD THE EXPLANATION OURSELVES

SET A C' THAT WILL MAKE THE LENGTH OF AB+AC THE SAME AS THAT OF AB+AC'

STRAIGHT LINE BC' MINIMIZES THE LENGTH

THE SLOPE "M" OF BC' IS -1, AND ITS FORMULA IS: Y=-X+2

SINCE A(0,A) IS ON THE LINE A=-0+2

AS SUCH, THE ANSWER IS 2

At any rate, the y-intercept under the situation is two.

To be exact, the coordinate is (0,2).

Let's give him a hand.

-That's two. -How cool is that?

Joo Woo-jae!

A BELATED CHEER FOR THE SMARTY-PANTS

Now, let's move to the next site for the final game.

ONE DISH SECURED SO FAR

Gosh, the spicy braised chicken.

-What do we do next? -What?

-What's our next task? -Keep doing your thing.

-Got it. -Okay.

The final game of our special triathlon based on The Wizard of Oz

-reflects Dorothy's journey. -I see.

Remind me who she is.

She's the central figure.

The Wizard of Oz

opens with Dorothy finding herself in the land of Oz.

I have told you this earlier, but she only lands there

because she gets swept up in a very powerful tornado.

That's how we came up with "Beat the Tornado."

We'll be facing strong winds, then.

STAND-IN FOR THE TORNADO

Sure, you found a seemingly fine pretext.

But this is a pure dumpster fire.

The machine here

makes you look your worst.

-Really? -You bet.

We prepared the fan to battle the hot weather.

Okay, we could use some wind.

-Try to be optimistic, okay? -Why are you so pessimistic today?

-Because-- -We're on a variety show.

Get your energy level up, will you?

As I said, we're on a variety show.

AREN'T WE ALL PROFESSIONALS?

Way to let us know she's feeling better.

Make sure to use the footage from earlier.

I thought I'd get excluded from today's shoot.

-Seriously? -Yeah.

SHE WAS LISTLESS TWO HOURS AGO

As I said, we're on a variety show.

THE 33-YEAR VETERAN RECOVERED QUICKLY

What do you think you're doing?

Make some effort, will you?

You just knocked and opened up the door.

-You think your feelings matter so much? -Understood?

-Are we clear? -No, not at all.

-I'm sorry. -No?

-My bad. -What?

-Was that a challenge or not? -I apologize.

It wasn't. I'm sorry.

She sounds so desperate.

-So that wasn't a challenge? -No, it wasn't.

A PROFESSIONAL KNOWS WHEN TO GROVEL

The message of The Wizard of Oz

is that friends can help you overcome any difficulties.

-In this spirit, you'll play a group game. -All right!

You'll each take a turn to wear a parachute.

Once you've worn the parachute,

wait at the starting line.

When we give the signal, charge toward the high-powered fan

and take a bite from the Onion Ring chips tied to the fan by a thread.

All five of you

will be given one minute to complete the challenge.

-Do all of us have to succeed? -Of course.

-Do your lymph nodes bother you? -No, not at all.

I can handle the activity now.

Must all five of us succeed to win?

-Could you finish all five chips alone? -You bet I could.

Does that mean one person can do more than their due?

We can win if the first person eats all five chips.

I've had enough experience with this game, you see.

You could say I'm a strong contender.

My lymph nodes have improved too.

I can eat all five chips.

-You can go last, then. -All right.

I'll now show the dish you can win. Please bring it in.

I want something tasty. I like our chances with this game.

In fact, I'm sure we'll win.

What's that? Pizza?

It's flat. Maybe it's pancakes.

I was right.

Pancakes and acorn jelly.

-Gosh, they look so good. -We've got to have them.

Look, a potato pancake. It's my favorite.

My gosh.

I want a pair of gloves so I can eat them with my hands.

-Can we sample it? -Let me take a whiff.

It smells amazing. My gosh.

Gosh, let's do this!

JUST A WHIFF, AND THEY'RE MOTIVATED

Let's go. We've got this.

Shall we decide on the order, then?

First, Peter Pan.

Make sure to eat two chips.

-Next up is you, madam. -Me?

Then, Woo-jae, the Guardian Deity,

and I.

-I'll polish off all the leftovers. -Good.

Please come and collect the parachutes.

They're on the larger side.

They're not like the ones I'm familiar with.

Wear it like a backpack.

DID HE STAY IN THE LAMP TOO LONG?

Here. Try it on.

-It's best to tighten the straps. -You ran simulations, didn't you?

-Of course. -Okay.

ABOUT 80% OF OUR MEETINGS ARE SPENT ON RUNNING SIMULATIONS

CREW MEMBERS OF ALL GENDERS AND AGES PARTICIPATE IN THEM TOO

I'm just concerned I might end up in Yeouido.

If you do succeed at getting there,

they should study this as a new means of transportation.

-They totally should. -Like the Hangang River Water Taxis.

SERIOUS BUT USELESS CHAT

Sook, you won't be taking your turn right away.

Could any of you hold her parachute like the train of a wedding gown?

-Oh, I could… -Ms. Bride.

-Yes? -Ms. Bride.

Wait, are you the groom?

SOLID AS A WALL

Are you the mother of the bride?

Oh, sure.

Wait, no. I'm the bride.

You're her mother, right?

I'm the bride.

-Aren't you my groom? -No, I'm not.

I'm the host today.

-Are you sure? -I am.

But I was sure you were my groom.

Gosh, we'd be in so much trouble then.

THE GAME BEGINS

Good luck!

I'm pretty hungry, you see.

If it ends quicker than you thought, please understand.

Wrap it up for us, Woo-young.

All right. I'll do what I can.

Ready.

Set.

BOTH PETER PAN AND THE FAN ARE READY

Set.

HANG IN THERE, ONION RING CHIPS

You can do this.

GO

You can let go now, Sae-ho!

I DID THAT LONG AGO

-Let go, Sae-ho! -Are you for real?

-Go! -Get moving already.

Make your way.

Did you let go?

WHY CAN'T I MOVE FORWARD?

Stop messing around, okay?

IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE HE'S MESSING AROUND

I'm so hungry!

He's messing around, isn't he?

It does look that way.

DETERMINING HE'S FAKING IT

You'd think he's in a war film.

-Stop fooling around! -What's with you?

IS THE WIND TOO STRONG?

ADJUSTS THE WIND LEVEL

This is your shot!

IT IS INDEED YOUR CHANCE

-Take it! -Dang it!

I REFUSE TO BE SHIPPED OFF TO NEVER LAND WITHOUT A FIGHT

WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITH THAT HOPELESS KID?

I'M ALMOST THERE!

NO, YOU'RE NOT

FORGET IT, GET BACK THERE

HIS HAT IS SWEPT OFF

A RATHER WRETCHED SIGHT

What's the matter with him?

OKAY, I'LL DIAL IT BACK DOWN

Seriously, what are you doing? It isn't funny at all.

-This is it! -Move in!

THE PARACHUTE ISN'T PULLING HIM BACK

THE WORLD OUTSIDE NEVERLAND IS HARSH ENOUGH TO CAUSE DRAMATIC AGING

OPENS WIDE

WILL HE SUCCEED AT LAST?

WHISTLE

Wait, he did it. He ate a chip.

UNFORTUNATELY, PETER PAN TIMED OUT

My answer is Onion Ring.

Don't mess around, Woo-young.

Seriously, you were awful.

Your stunt ate up the time.

Why, you little…

I'll be watching you lot.

Sure, we'll see.

What was he thinking?

-What's your problem? -Dang it.

MUSCLE LADY ON HER WAY

Our chances look super bleak.

Damn it.

I SHOULD'VE KICKED US OFF

READY TO TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE

Huh?

I recognize that warrior from the movie 300.

I don't get why Woo-young struggled so much.

PROUD AND STRONG

I bet she's from a line of strong folks.

I can't believe how weak the youngsters are.

ENERGY AND DRIVE COURSE THROUGH HER BODY

Let's go.

Was the wind that strong? Did it overpower you that badly?

Remember how my feet slid backwards like this?

Ready.

Watch and learn from Sook.

SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE CAN CAUSE TORNADOES

-You can do this! -Do it!

-Wait for me, babe. -Sure thing!

ON APRIL 8, 2025 DURING THE WOMEN'S LIPSTICK GAME…

You don't stand a chance.

-Oh, man! -What on earth?

AGAINST EVERYONE'S EXPECTATIONS

THIS LADY GOT AHEAD OF THE FRONT-RUNNER

A NATURAL BORN ATHLETE KIM SOOK

My muscles grow on their own.

STILL GROWING EVEN NOW

To tell you the truth, these sleeves…

aren't puffed by design.

HER ARMS ARE THAT JACKED

HER SHOULDER MUSCLES GOT MORE DEFINED

Set.

GO

RIGHT ON CUE

SHE LAUNCHES HERSELF TOWARD HER TARGET

HALTS

HEIGH-HO, OFF I GO

THE WIND STALLS HER FOR A MOMENT

BUT HER MUSCLES HELP HER PULL THROUGH

TAKES A BREATHER

AND CHARGES

Just a chip!

You're almost there!

CAN SHE SUCCEED THIS EASILY?

SO CLOSE, BUT NOT QUITE CLOSE ENOUGH

THE PARACHUTE IS NO MATCH FOR HER, BUT THE ONION RING CHIPS ARE TROUBLE

WILL SHE BE SWEPT AWAY?

NOT WITH HER STRONG CORE MUSCLES

EAT US IF YOU CAN, WE DARE YOU

THE "TANTALIZING" ONION RING CHIPS ARE CAUSING BLOOD PRESSURE SPIKE

FLOPS

FALLS ON THE GROUND

FORCED TO GIVE UP DUE TO BLOOD PRESSURE ISSUES

Is this for real?

Are you saying it's this difficult?

Dang, this is tough.

-So it's rough. -Even a bite is hard.

Especially because we can't use our hands.

I'm so ticked off.

Sook, you dainty little thing.

-Show her how it's done, Woo-jae. -Geez.

Can you take a jump and fly away, Woo-jae?

He looks like he runs this business.

Hello.

A QUICK CAREER PIVOT

Gosh, sir.

-Please take good care of him. -Sure.

I won't be wearing them.

-You can take them away. -You're not wearing gloves?

HE'S STILL POSTURING AFTER SEEING 2 COSTARS FAIL

We're all set.

OKAY, I'M READY

Crouch down, Woo-jae.

NOT THAT WE HAVE HIGH HOPES

BUT WE'LL WATCH HOW HE FARES

Set.

JUST IN CASE, THE WIND IS SET AT HIGH GO

CLOSING IN ONE STEP AT A TIME

UNCHARACTERISTICALLY, HE MARCHES ON PEACEFULLY

WHAT'S THIS? WHY DOES IT FEEL SO LIGHT?

Keep going. Go on!

MR. SKELETON PRESSES ON WITHOUT STUMBLING

You're doing great!

BETTER THAN THIS GUY

THAT'S MY BUDDY OVER THERE!

Go on. Move onward.

PRESSING ON

DESPITE THE MOMENTARY SETBACK, HE'S REACHED HIS GOAL SAFELY

This is it! It's your moment!

JUST ONE BITE…

Take a bite!

Eat it!

Use your tongue!

TRIES AGAIN

Eat it!

Use your tongue!

OPEN WIDE FOR A BIG BITE

Bite down. He ate one.

-He did? -He had one.

-He ate one. -Really?

DESPITE HIS EFFORTS…

HE TOO IS FORCED TO GIVE UP

The wind must be super strong.

If you ask me, we'll have to…

wrap things up for today soon.

He's done his best.

-You can reach the fan somehow… -Yeah?

…but getting those snack pieces is no joke.

Yeah, if only we could use our hands.

We have someone who looks like she might actually fly away to the heavens

wearing the parachute here.

Please do us a solid, Guardian Deity of Mountains.

Surely this can't be that difficult.

-Turn on the fan! -Ready.

Crouch down low, okay?

Set.

SHE WEATHERED A STORM RECENTLY

GO

THE FAN IS NOTHING IN COMPARISON

SWAYS

WOBBLES

ONWARD!

RUSHES FORTH ENERGETICALLY AFTER A MOMENTARY FALTERING

EVERYONE SO FAR HAS DONE BETTER THAN HIM

ALL THAT'S LEFT IS EATING AN ONION RING CHIP

DID SHE JUST STUMBLE?

FLUNG AWAY BY THE GALE OF THE TORNADO

HEH

-Are you okay? -Jin-kyung.

Surely this can't be that difficult.

EVERYONE HAS A PLAN UNTIL THEY END UP LIKE THIS

Jin-kyung!

-Are you okay? -Jin-kyung.

-Are you all right? -Hey.

Camera Crew! Are you still catching this?

-Great. -Jin-kyung.

I'm sorry to ask, but you have some time left.

Can't you please get back up?

Turn the fan back on.

Can I get the 30 seconds of her time?

It's a real challenge.

When the wind hits the parachute properly, it feels like someone's yanking you back.

Jin-kyung, do you know what I'm envying right now?

-That fall looked amazing. -It was funny.

Hilarious, even.

SHE ALWAYS STRIKES GOLD ON VARIETY SHOWS

Honestly, the fall created a great spectacle.

GENIE HAS TO EAT ALL 5 CHIPS NOW

So, I'm getting the 30 seconds from Jin-kyung's turn.

Are we calling it a success if I finish three chips or what?

How many pieces does he have to eat for us to get lunch?

Eating a single chip is a struggle.

Eat two chips and save your face.

-Two chips? -Okay.

He does have a face to save.

Show them what you've got, Sae-ho.

He can be decisive when he wants to be.

-Show them. -We're counting on you.

You're our only hope, Sae-ho.

Can I tackle him?

I have no reason, though. I just feel like doing it.

Oh, come on.

-Don't do it. -What?

I'm all set!

-Would you like some protective gear? -Take them away.

Sell them if you want.

Try the secondhand markets.

-Ready. -I hope you're ready, sir.

-Okay! -Set.

GO

MOVING SWIFTLY

Looking good!

NO FOOLING AROUND THIS TIME

Looking good!

RUSHING OVER TO THE FAN

AS SOON AS HE REACHES HIS GOAL

See it through!

HIS MOUTH OPENS WIDE

COME ON IN

FLIES OFF

DOESN'T EVEN NOTICE IT

Focus!

WILL HE SUCCEED AT BITING THE STRING?

Focus!

THE IDEA IS TO HOLD THE STRING TO GET THE CHIP

Focus!

BUT THE STRONG WIND IS MAKING IT HARD

He's close. So very close.

You're nearly there.

MANAGES TO BITE DOWN ANOTHER STRING

THAT COUNTS AS ONE, RIGHT?

1 CHIP ACKNOWLEDGED

One down.

OPENS HIS MOUTH EVEN WIDER THIS TIME

Take the one on the side!

HIS HUNTING ABILITY EXCEEDS YOUR WILDEST IDEAS

ATTACK OF SAE-HO (ONION RING'S POINT OF VIEW)

THE ONION RING CHIPS THEN RECALLED

THE TERROR OF BEING RULED BY THE HUMANS…

CHORTLING

…AND THE HUMILIATION OF BEING TIED TO THE FAN ON STRINGS

THE RUTHLESS POT OF DESIRE THREATENING THE SNACK CHIPS

He can't reach that high up!

He can't reach it.

THE SOLE REMAINING CHIP SWINGS UP TOO HIGH

-It's too far up. -Jump!

Jump!

ABOUT A 20-CM DIFFERENCE

YOU WANT ME TO JUMP?

I COULD JUST USE MY HAND!

THINKING A JUMP WOULDN'T CUT IT, HE USED HIS HAND TO SNATCH THE SNACK

THE CREW IN THE BACK DIDN'T CATCH THAT

MANAGED TO BITE THE ONION RING CHIP BEFORE IT FELL TO THE GROUND

That counts, right?

THAT CONCLUDES THE GAME

That should count.

-Just a minute. -Give it to him.

You should make some allowances.

He's only 160 cm tall, but the chip was at the 180 cm point.

-He's right. -Give it to him.

Come on, make allowances.

-He's only 160 cm tall. -Give it to him, okay?

-How could he reach the 180 cm point? -Let it count.

Honestly, it felt like I got slapped in the face.

I'm not exaggerating. It does feel that way.

Dude, you should get your hair styled by the fan from now on.

Your hair's standing up fine.

It's not so bad, right?

-It's great. -You look younger.

-All right. -Great styling.

So, how many did he eat?

-He had two chips. -And?

He took 54 seconds. It's a success!

54 SECONDS, A SUCCESS!

Let's eat.

The closer I got, the harder the wind blew.

You didn't win the braised short ribs.

-Give us another shot. -One more shot.

Why don't you play for the team, Sook?

-For the braised short ribs. -You ready?

-You bet. -Let's do it.

-So, how about it, Sook? -Okay!

I could take your place.

YOU, REALLY?

I think I have a better shot than you.

But I got really close to the fan.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but are you changing the strings too?

Sae-ho licked and sucked on them. Could you please change them?

I'm afraid that's not possible.

Damn it.

STRIDES TOWARD THE CREW

IS IT PERHAPS TO VOICE CONCERN ON BEHALF OF SOOK?

Do you have an extra bag of Onion Ring?

Did you finish it?

ABASHED + ANNOYED + DISAPPOINTED

Why did you get only two bags?

You should've gotten more.

But two bags probably held more than enough chips.

HOW MANY ROUNDS DO YOU WANT?

REAL LAST GAME

Braised short ribs.

-You promise to give us ribs, right? -Of course.

-Sook. -What?

You should take a few steps back.

before taking a bite. Huh? What do you mean?

-Take a few steps back. -Dang it.

Can't I just start from here?

THEY'RE ON THE SAME TEAM

-Must you be a stickler for the rules? -Ready.

ALL SET AND READY

Set.

Let's do this!

SETS OUT WITH A DETERMINED LOOK

STAGGERS

She's standing her ground.

They've turned the wind at a higher speed.

THE STRONGEST WIND FOR THE STRONGEST PERSON

MARCHES ON USING ALL OF HER STRENGTH

You're making good progress, Sook!

You're doing great!

You're almost there.

Just a few more steps.

REACHED THE HIGH-POWERED FAN IN NO TIME

APPROACHES THE STRING THAT SAE-HO DID HIS THING EARLIER

WILL THEY BE ABLE TO SECURE BRAISED SHORT RIBS SO EASILY?

NOM

SUDDENLY, AN ONION RING CHIP DASHES TO HER EYE AND NOT HER MOUTH

Get back up there. You can still do this.

WITNESS THE MIGHT OF A MERE CHIP

DÉJÀ VU?

Get back up there. You can still do this.

You can still succeed!

FAILED

I know you have it in you!

It's Auntie Omakase.

LONG TIME NO SEE

It's Auntie Omakase!

Goodness, ma'am.

Here we go.

Oh, dear.

PUT YOUR WIG BACK ON WHEN YOU GET UP

She was so close to succeeding, though.

I almost ate the chip.

So close.

-How did the lipstick get on her forehead? -This time…

What, my forehead?

-What's that? -It's a lipstick stain, right?

It's a shame, but your last attempt was a failure.

-Let's give Woo-young one final shot. -Yeah, just one last time.

IS IT NECESSARY, THOUGH?

What's the matter with him?

-Let's break for lunch. -All right.

Can I have the Onion Ring?

-The Onion Ring. -Sure.

It's my favorite.

CLAIMS THE REMAINING ONION RING

Thank you, everyone. Great work, guys.

Good job, everyone.

MUNCH

One hour later…

Sae-ho, you…
