Welcome.

BEST.

9STUNT.

(9STUNT)

- ORTHODOX. - Hello.

(ORTHODOX)

(The best stunt teams that survived)

You have all gathered.

I'm Jun Hyun Moo, the MC of Super Action...

that selects the best stunt team beyond Korea and the world.

We have the three key people of Super Action.

The three judges. Welcome.

- Welcome. - Hello.

(It's great to see you again.)

We'll interview each team now.

I'll interview 9STUNT first.

They're a team that survived from nearly failing.

That's right.

(At the end of the 1st mission)

9STUNT.

(9STUNT revived as they were selected by the winning team.)

(Thank you. You are the best.)

I'd like to ask what your goal is today.

First of all, we do feel like we were revived.

(They feel reborn.)

So we're very energetic now.

Really?

We heard the second mission is United Mission.

We don't know which team we will collaborate with,

but we'll do well so that we win the opponent team easily.

We'll do our best.

I see.

We'll see which team will collaborate with which team...

and what work they'll be getting.

(Which teams will be collaborating?)

- Jong Myeon. - Yes.

Why didn't the director who resembles Hwang Je Seong come today?

(Where is Director Park Jin Soo?)

- He's on a schedule he had before. - I see.

Would it be okay without him?

- Without Director Park Jin Soo. - Yes, it's okay.

You should ask the team members.

(It's all right, right?)

Is it okay?

- Yes, it's okay. - No problem.

I don't think Ji Hoon answered properly.

- No, I did. - Is it okay?

- It's fine. - All right.

(You mean that, right?)

Before we get into the mission,

you might have expected this. If the curtain behind me goes down,

you'll see something is prepared for you.

(It was revealed in episode 1.)

Super Action.

(The real appearance of the action arena)

(The main stage hidden behind the curtain)

Last time, ORTHODOX earned an amazing advantage...

through the parkour flash tag.

We'll see which team will get what advantage...

through which game.

I'll reveal the set stage...

in which the super advantage game will take place.

- Super Action. - Action.

- Action. - Action.

(Shocked)

(The stage is revealed.)

I'll reveal the set stage...

in which the super advantage game will take place.

- Super Action. - Super Action.

- Super Action. - Super Action.

(Shocked)

(The stage is revealed.)

What's that?

What's that?

What is it?

(It's hard to figure out what game it is.)

What is it?

Awesome.

It's hard to tell what game will be played here, right?

- Isn't that a puzzle piece? - Right?

(The teams' logo is hung in the air.)

- Wire? - Wire action?

(There is a harness that is used in wire action.)

Doesn't it remind you of a movie?

It's the best action movie that the whole world loved.

This is the scene in "Mission Impossible..."

where Tom Cruise is on a wire entering a closed space.

This scene symbolizes "Mission Impossible..."

and is praised as a great scene.

This is a game focusing on wire action.

(A wire game that is an homage to that scene)

It's called Puzzle Impossible.

- It's a puzzle. - We have to complete our logo.

Complete our logo.

It's a puzzle.

(They've caught onto it already.)

I'll explain the rule.

You'll wear the harness like me.

(Get the puzzle using the trampoline and wire wearing the harness.)

You'll snatch the puzzle piece...

hanging above.

Collect the puzzle pieces...

and complete them on the board.

(The team that completes 1st wins 1st place.)

You'll have to control the direction and height of the wire.

We'll be able to evaluate your teamwork...

and wire action skills.

(Wire action is mandatory in action movies.)

(Teamwork among members is most important.)

The trampoline will make it more difficult.

(The trampoline will be a nuisance.)

The ground would have been easier.

It would be more convenient.

It would make control easier.

But that would make control harder.

- That makes it difficult. - Right.

- The difficulty increased. - It increased.

The team that completes the puzzle first...

will be given a super advantage.

My palms are sweating.

Where's the logo?

(He observes the logo quickly.)

Now,

I'll tell you something that will interest you.

Listen well.

I'll explain the advantage.

Already?

(Curious)

Benefit.

The team that wins first place...

(The team that wins 1st place...)

will get the right to choose their collaboration team first.

They will also get directing rights.

(Selecting teams, Directing rights)

Finally, they'll choose which film...

to work on first.

This is important.

This will be competitive.

- We should win. - We should.

(Super advantage benefits)

(Team selection and directing rights)

(Work selection rights)

(The direction right will be decided according to rank.)

We'll have ORTHODOX as the first team.

Come to the stage.

Put them on the board.

Who will be on the wire?

I'll go.

(Jeon Chan Woong, 6th-year stunt actor)

- Chan Woong. - Yes.

Jeon Chan Woong will be on the wire.

What is your strategy, Director?

Chan Woong...

was a former gymnast who used the trampoline a lot.

He used to be a gymnast.

He's good at the trampoline.

He's good at wire action because he was a gymnast.

He's also light.

(He just keeps tumbling.)

(The founder of the grand bow)

The trampoline's surface sinks in.

It's hard to balance.

But I've been on the trampoline for 10 years.

I'm confident that I'll do well.

One, two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, ten,

eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,

seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty. Right.

- There are 20 pieces? - Yes.

Are you ready, ORTHODOX?

- Yes. - Yes.

(Shin Se Gye, Lee Jae Nam, Cho Sung Gu)

- Good luck. - Good luck.

I'm ready.

It's ORTHODOX's...

Puzzle Impossible.

This makes you nervous.

- I'm curious how it will go. - Right.

Start.

Three.

(Game start)

Go.

He's quick.

(One, two)

He's quick.

With good teamwork,

you can use the elasticity.

(He jumped accurately using the elasticity of the trampoline.)

(They pulled the wire at the right moment.)

(Perfect teamwork)

(He collects two pieces at every jump.)

He's quick.

The run-up is also important.

You should do it at the right time.

(Perfect run-up)

That's right.

He was ready for this.

(Only 3 pieces left)

- He's really quick. - He's quick.

(Only 2 pieces left)

- What? - He's really quick.

(But...)

They can't put the puzzle together.

(The pieces are piled on the ground.)

(He collected the last piece.)

He collected them all.

Good.

- It's done. - They need to complete the puzzle.

They're fast.

- Is there another one? - It's that one.

- The face. - There are many black pieces.

It's difficult.

- They're having a problem here. - Why is it like this?

This is the chin.

(They try putting the pieces here and there.)

(They haven't even completed the face yet.)

(Struggling)

Why isn't it sticking?

One should stand at the back and see the whole picture.

- That would work better. - The person...

can give directions.

If you see it from close, you don't see much.

- Of course. - That's right.

That's not the place.

(They're all struggling with the puzzle.)

(The clock keeps ticking.)

The puzzle is taking some time.

They are taking two minutes to do this.

(It's finally complete.)

(How long did ORTHODOX take?)

They took 3 minutes and 42 seconds.

It wasn't easy.

- Was it? - We took a lot of time here.

(We took a lot of time here.)

We'll see if the next team will take a shorter time...

than 3 minutes and 42 seconds.

9STUNT. Please come forward.

(The second team, 9STUNT)

- Good luck. - Good luck.

Let's go, Nine.

Who will be on the wire?

Yoon Gi Hyeon will be on it.

Our team worked with a lot of disaster films.

In disaster films, there are lots of wire scenes.

Such as falling scenes...

(Falling scenes)

or accident scenes.

Wire action is used a lot in these scenes.

That's why we thought we should win this game.

Soo Hee can stay there, and I'll be here.

(Yu Hui will complete the puzzle.)

We should pull when Gi Hyeon runs a little toward us.

Let's try. One, two, three.

(On the wire are Je Woong, Young Jun, and In Hwan.)

One, two, three.

(They easily succeed.)

9STUNT will start now.

Two, three.

Two, three.

Two, three.

- Gosh. - Like that?

Two, three.

(Yoon Gi Hyeon is flipped in the air.)

(Trailing off)

That's sad.

Two, three.

He fell.

(He can't maintain the balance in the air at all.)

- The trampoline is elastic. - Right.

So jumping on the trampoline and pulling the wire...

- wasn't in sync. - Right.

So he couldn't go up properly.

Two, three.

(He has to jump while using the elasticity of the trampoline.)

(But they pulled the wire too early.)

He fell.

(9STUNT is flustered at the addition of the trampoline.)

We can pull it a bit later.

Okay.

Two, three.

Sorry.

Two, three.

(They pulled the wire too early.)

It's been a minute now.

(The puzzle hasn't made much progress after 1 minute.)

Leave it.

Do you guys need help?

(In the end, Yoo Si Jung joins them.)

- We'll count to three. - Okay.

(Calm)

One, two, three.

(He finally succeeds.)

- Gosh. - That's hard.

- Pull it on four. - Okay.

One, two, three.

- Four. - Four.

- Two, three. - Four.

(He grabs the highest puzzle.)

- Gosh. - They got the hang of it.

That's great.

- Go. - One, two, three.

- Four. - Four.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Hold it. - Okay. I'll hold it.

Great.

We're done.

- We finished. - Well done.

Your record is 4 minutes and 23 seconds.

All right. Good work.

(ORTHODOX is still in the lead.)

BEST will go next. Please come on out.

- Good luck. - All right.

(BEST, good luck.)

Who will go on the wire?

Yoo Hyeon will do it.

(Hwang Yoo Hyeon, a stunt performer of 8 years)

Is there a reason behind choosing him?

Our strategy is that Yoo Hyeon is good at controlling his body.

- Not really. - If we start off...

- Not really. - All of us...

- That seems like news to him. - All of us...

All of us will follow his lead.

I see. You'll do what Yoo Hyeon tells you to do.

Good luck.

All right. BEST.

Puzzle Impossible...

begins.

(Their mission starts.)

Get ready.

In 1, 2, 3.

Go up. And let go.

In 1, 2, 3.

Go up. And let go.

(They move on Yoo Hyeon's counts.)

Go up. And let go.

- Right away? - Really?

(Did he get the puzzle pieces as soon as he began?)

- Lower it. Gosh. - Gosh.

(He can't reach.)

Will doing it barefoot be more advantageous?

There might be more friction. So, maybe.

In 1, 2, 3.

(He goes for it while running this time.)

(It worked.)

That was clever.

(He gets 2 pieces in 1 go.)

(Surprised)

(Amazed)

In 1, 2, 3.

(On Yoo Hyeon's counts...)

Great.

Nice.

- In 1, 2, 3. - Go.

(BEST is showing perfect teamwork.)

That's it.

Their strategy is to swat the pieces off.

That's clever.

It's been a minute now.

- Yoo Hyeon, go for the highest one. - The highest piece.

We'll pull.

(He only has two pieces left.)

Two, three.

Two, three.

- Okay. - Gosh.

Goodness.

- Okay. - Gosh.

He only has one left.

Let's do it right away.

(The last piece is the highest.)

- That's so high. - Two, three.

Gosh. That's high.

Two, three.

Two, three.

(They pull the wire as hard as they can on his count.)

Two, three.

(He's close, but he fails to get it.)

- Gosh. - Goodness. He was so close.

- We should pull a bit earlier. - Yes.

He needs to use his jump first.

It's been 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Two, three. Gosh. That was late.

- You got it. - That's it.

Two, three. Gosh. That was late.

- You got it. - Yes.

(What just happened?)

- You got it. - That's it.

Nice.

They have to complete the puzzle now.

Do the puzzle.

They are all black.

They're all black. Why are they all black?

That's hard.

The black pieces throw you off.

It's been...

- The ear. - two minutes now.

(Nice catch.)

Their puzzle is almost done.

- This one. - It must go there.

- Good. - The black pieces are the problem.

This one.

- They're all black. - Here.

- Good. - Hey, it goes here.

- We got it. - Why are they all black?

We got it.

- Okay. - We did it.

You finished.

(BEST completes their puzzle.)

You finished.

(What's their record?)

(Did they beat ORTHODOX's record, 3 minutes and 42 seconds?)

(BEST's record is...)

Two minutes...

and 55 seconds.

(It was 2 minutes and 55 seconds.)

(They finished 1 minute faster than ORTHODOX.)

Good work.

- Yes. - They...

They got a step closer to winning the Super Advantage.

(Disappointed)

- You were great. - Gosh.

(BEST is currently in 1st place.)

The fastest record now...

is 2 minutes and 55 seconds from BEST.

If this crew were to shorten the time...

even by 0.01 seconds,

the Super Advantage will go to this crew, not BEST.

Come on out, MONGDOL.

(MONGDOL enters.)

You just have to complete the puzzle before 2 minutes and 55 seconds.

In 1, 2, 3. MONGDOL.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

(MONGDOL, let's go.)

Isn't that him?

- The one who played Jackie Chan. - Right.

- Right. - The one from "Police Story?"

More.

(The main performer of "Police Story," Lee Ji Hoon)

(With his amazing stunts and movements, )

(the youngest member of MONGDOL received favorable comments.)

(It's only been 5 months since he joined this industry.)

(However, in the wire action scene...)

(Crashing)

(He failed.)

(He kept failing.)

(Pull the wire. Let's go inside.)

(Will he be able to overcome his series of failed attempts...)

(and complete the mission this time?)

Are you ready, MONGDOL?

- Yes. - Are you ready?

- Yes. We're ready. - Okay.

We can do this.

- We can do this. - We can do this.

MONGDOL is the last crew to go.

(MONGDOL's Puzzle Impossible)

Puzzle Impossible.

(How will they do?)

You may begin.

Let's go.

- Jump. - In 1, 2, 3.

Use two hands. That's it.

Okay.

Jump.

(On the count of their captain...)

- In 1, 2, 3. - This.

- That's it. - Yes.

- Great. - Gosh.

- You'll go high. - Just run, Ji Hoon.

Great.

- Okay. - Great.

He got 2 pieces in 1 go.

- Nice. - Nice.

(Impressed)

- Two in one go. - He's light.

- You'll go high. - Just run, Ji Hoon.

He's light.

Okay.

(He grabs it and hits it.)

Great.

(Impressed)

- Ji Hoon. - Amazing.

He's light.

- In 1, 2, 3. - Slow down.

Okay.

- Great. - In 1, 2, 3.

- Okay. - He's good.

- They're fast. - The one up high.

He can maintain the balance since he's grabbing the wire.

(Not holding the wire...)

(results in flips.)

(He jumps while holding the wire.)

(So he gets the puzzle pieces in a stable manner.)

Hey, guys. Let's clean them up. Bring out the pieces.

They're fast. They have a shot at winning.

(They only have two pieces left.)

Jump higher.

In 1, 2, 3.

He grabbed one.

- Throw it. - You can do this.

- Okay. - You can do this.

- Here it goes. - Ji Hye, this is all you now.

All right.

(She's the only one putting together the puzzle.)

That's a good strategy.

Here it goes.

(They only have one piece left.)

In 1, 2, 3.

You must give it your best shot.

You must give it your best shot.

(He's close, but fails.)

Hey, pull it with us.

No. Step back. Okay. There. Run and jump.

- In 1, 2, 3. - Go.

Go.

- Gosh. - So close.

- Pull. - Gosh.

Gosh.

Again.

Gosh. Oh, no.

- Gosh. That... - Goodness.

Lower the wire quickly.

Go back again. Run and jump from there.

In 1, 2, 3. Lift.

(Will he be able to get the puzzle this time?)

Lift.

- In 1, 2, 3. - Lift.

- Gosh. - Well done.

Lift.

You got it.

(He grabs it.)

Great.

(Well done, Ji Hoon.)

Nice.

You got it.

Complete the puzzle now.

The puzzle.

- Hey, the puzzle. - Complete the puzzle.

Great.

They just have to complete the puzzle now.

(BEST's record, 2 minutes and 55 seconds)

All right.

(Will they be able to beat BEST's record?)

- They did it. - Put it there.

- Where's the bottom piece? - Yes.

Okay.

- That's it. - Gosh.

They did it.

(That's amazing.)

MONGDOL's record...

(What's MONGDOL's record?)

is 2 minutes and 15 seconds.

(MONGDOL's record, 2 minutes and 15 seconds)

(Disappointed)

They beat BEST's record and won.

I didn't know we would win first place, so I was surprised.

I didn't realize that our teamwork was this good.

I can't take all the credit for winning first place.

My senior members pulled the wire for me.

They were good at controlling the timing.

So we were able to win first place.

(MONGDOL's Super Advantages: Team selection, )

(directing rights, and work selection.)

All right. MONGDOL, you guys won first place.

You can pick the crew you want to work with.

- Right away? - Do you need time to discuss it?

- We need time to discuss it. - We should discuss it.

We'll give you some time then.

They will strategize and pair up with the crew they want.

- This must be a lot of pressure. - Right.

Not only do they have to think about their own crew,

but they have to also think about how it will be with two crews.

Min, what do you think?

We might be able to do big scenes with ORTHODOX.

Yes.

They can do a lot of gymnastics.

(ORTHODOX's strength is their gymnastic skills.)

But I think 9STUNT will blend well with our crew too.

What about BEST?

Their style is too strong.

It's not just about their style.

We'll be directing the scenes.

If we're going to use their help,

we should go with the crew that can help us more.

(That crew is...)

Right. I agree too.

- Okay. You do have a point. - I agree.

(Everyone agrees.)

- Let's do this. - We made a decision.

(They settled on their partner after deliberation.)

Does any crew here want to work with MONGDOL?

No comment.

No comment?

What about you, 9STUNT?

Actually, since we lost to them once,

- we wanted to go up against them. - Yes.

But I'm not sure.

(How will this unfold?)

That's a vague answer.

Before you announce your decision,

tell us why you chose that crew.

- Why? - Yes.

We thought they would be obedient to our instructions.

"Obedient."

So you chose a crew that would follow your instructions...

- when you directed the scenes. - Yes.

Which crew is it?

(Which crew will join MONGDOL for the United Mission?)

(Which one of them will be obedient?)

We'll go with 9STUNT.

9STUNT.

(Feigning excitement)

We love it. Gosh.

They chose us because they thought...

we would be obedient.

I wondered if they thought we were below them.

I thought they were looking down on us...

when we were a good crew too.

The obedient crew.

(Bitter)

Do you like that?

We'll have to think if we should be obedient or not.

We'll have to think if we should be obedient or not.

(Don't think about it.)

You haven't even started. Try to get along now.

Then ORTHODOX and BEST...

will pair up.

BES-DOX.

- What's that? - BES-DOX.

Do you like your partner, Tae Young?

Yes. We'll accept the results and do the mission accordingly.

I was worried and excited at the same time.

I knew their strength and weaknesses.

They were great technicians...

with special talents.

I need to figure out how to blend them into our scenes.

Jae Nam?

Yes. We should do our best.

- Let's not fight. - Let's do this.

Let's not fight now.

- Let's go, ORTHODOX. - Let's do this.

(Let's get along now.)

"Now."

(Teams for the United Mission)

(MONGDOL and 9STUNT versus BEST and ORTHODOX)

All right. Two directors have been chosen.

The teams of the shared fate have been formed.

We will now announce the stories for the United Mission.

- This is important. - This is important.

This is...

(Korea)

a mission about Korean heroes.

- What? - Heroes?

(Puzzled)

Heroes?

What? Like what?

Ma Dong Seok?

Robot Taekwon V?

Admiral Yi Sun Sin.

Here's the hero from the first story.

This was the first novel, written in the Korean language.

He's a righteous outlaw who can vanish within seconds.

It's Hong Gil Dong.

(The righteous and swift outlaw, Hong Gil Dong)

- Period dramas are hard. - He uses a staff to fight.

Is the next choice going to be "Iljimae?"

The second hero is considered...

one of the three major righteous outlaws from the Joseon Era.

It's Im Kkeok Jeong.

(Im Kkeok Jeong, 1 of the 3 major righteous outlaws)

Isn't that Sang Chul?

(The perfect role for him)

Sang Chul.

He reminds me of Min.

That was so random. Im Kkeok Jeong?

There's Se Gye too.

I'm Shin Kkeok Jeong.

(There's another Im Kkeok Jeong.)

You'll analyze these two characters, Hong Gil Dong and Im Kkeok Jeong,

from the novels where they were portrayed in.

Then you will have to direct the action scenes.

Just like the first mission,

you will direct the scenes and record them.

Then you will perform some scenes live.

It's unfortunate, but the losing team...

will leave the show.

(This isn't easy.)

It's time to pick your story.

Personally, playing Hong Gil Dong sounds good.

We can show a wide range of scenes with that character.

As for Im Kkeok Jeong,

we need the right person to play the role.

- Min. - Min?

(I'm Im Kkeok Jeong?)

But...

(Which character will Kim Jong Myeon pick?)

All right. Director Kim Jong Myeon.

Tell us the character you chose...

and the reason behind your decision.

First of all, we chose Hong Gil Dong.

(MONGDOL picks Hong Gil Dong.)

(Nodding)

We chose Hong Gil Dong...

because we're confident we can design action scenes...

that can win over the audience through our performance.

That's why we decided to choose...

the righteous robber, Hong Gil Dong.

Then by default, ORTHODOX and BEST...

will do a story on Im Kkeok Jeong.

(Hong Gil Dong versus Im Kkeok Jeong)

(After choosing the teams for the United Mission...)

I'm so demotivated.

(9STUNT seems depressed.)

In a way, from the first mission,

we were each other's rivals.

But all of a sudden, we had to work together.

I was worried that we wouldn't mix well together.

I should have won the advantage to direct the scenes.

I'm disappointed.

"Does MONGDOL want to keep us under their control..."

"and do whatever they want?"

That crossed my mind.

(How will these two crews blend in together?)

When we decided on Hong Gil Dong,

I didn't want our approach to be predictable.

- Right. - Yes.

First of all,

we'll be following your lead, so we'll try to cooperate.

- Since you will direct... - No.

- We should do it together. - Okay.

(No)

(We should do it together.)

We're on the same team now. So let's be ourselves.

I'll hold you to that.

Anyway, beating them is our goal.

So let's not walk on eggshells around each other.

Let's talk about all the possibilities.

"How is this?"

I won't think you're being arrogant for suggesting ideas.

Just be yourselves.

Making the best scenes is important.

So we'll think about the story...

- and share our ideas. - Yes.

We need to assign roles now.

How do you want to do it?

My idea is...

- there's a real Hong Gil Dong. - Right.

And there's a bad version of Hong Gil Dong.

- I think that setup will be nice. - Yes.

If one of these pairs play Hong Gil Dong,

their striking resemblances...

can make people think Hong Gil Dong shows up...

all over the place. We can say that's how he fools them.

- The girls? - Hong Gil Dong Twins sound good.

- They will be the main characters? - The girls.

Since Ji Hoon took the lead role, I want to try this time.

- Do you want to do it, Hyun Soo? - Yes.

(Will it be Hyun Soo?)

- Let's think about the direction. - Our strength...

(Pondering)

How do you want to assign the roles? The role of Hong Gil Dong.

I have something in mind.

What is it?

(What's that?)

I want you to do it, Si Jung.

- Me? - Yes.

(Jong Myeon's choice is Si Jung.)

(Me?)

(He wants someone from our team...)

(to take the lead role?)

We went with 9STUNT...

just for Si Jung.

It's been about six years since Si Jung left MONGDOL.

When Si Jung left, our director Park...

was disappointed and heartbroken.

A former colleague is better than a stranger.

I want Si Jung to do well.

So I made him take the lead role.

His special talent was wushu.

Utilizing his special talent will be great for us.

(Will Si Jung be Hong Gil Dong?)

I don't think Jin Soo might agree.

Well, probably. So what?

I don't think we should do it like this.

That's wrong.

- Yes. - Nice.

- I'll do my best. - Me too.

(Meanwhile, what about BEST and ORTHODOX?)

Let's discuss our plan.

I'll take recommendations for Im Kkeok Jeong.

(They're talking about who to cast for Im Kkeok Jeong.)

Se Gye might be a good fit for the role.

I mean, if we're going to focus on power...

and his build...

Im Kkeok Jeong is known for his beard.

One of us has to wear a beard for a day.

What are you looking at me for?

You're perfect for the role.

Sang Chul's acting skills are pretty good too.

You're right. Sang Chul acts well.

I also think Sang Chul is most suited to the role.

I agree.

Again?

(Will he be the main character two times in a row?)

If someone from BEST were to be cast as Im Kkeok Jeong,

I actually wanted it to be Sang Min.

(Me?)

(What is the reason for choosing Shim Sang Min?)

When I see him utilize his body from the sidelines,

I can see that he has speed and strength.

Although he fights intensely, his techniques are all still there.

Sang Min also pushes things away with great force and power.

If we're going for an Im Kkeok Jeong who is fast-paced,

I think Sang Min will be fine.

Do you agree? Are you okay with it?

Yes, it's okay.

Seems like a good choice.

Sang Min isn't the right fit when you consider the audience nowadays.

Either BEST's Sang Chul...

or our team's Se Gye...

seem like the ideal candidates...

for the role of Im Kkeok Jeong.

But I guess I'll just have to trust their decisions.

Anyway, for our storyline,

I don't think we should exhibit only the main character.

I'm sure there are other compelling people around too.

That's why every persona should have strong personalities,

so that nobody dies meaninglessly.

On the other hand, having such characters...

seems like a bit of overkill for me.

(Overkill?)

(Tense)

(Uneasy)

We're going to shoot a practice film...

based on the continuity at the BEST's office, right?

(Continuity?)

- We... - We usually don't shoot them.

We usually don't shoot them.

(Really?)

We just filmed the scenes as we went along right on the set.

(How BEST shoots their action film)

(Study and analyze the set)

(Draw up action sequences that are in line with the setting)

(Shoot the video)

(Complete without any mistakes)

(Industry leader for improvisational action, tailored to fit exact needs)

- We usually just improvise. - For us, we...

we only shot prepared and rehearsed cuts.

We handed out our continuity to all the staff beforehand too.

(Planning is vital to filming.)

(The key to ORTHODOX's high-quality film lies in their storyboard.)

(Extensive daily shooting schedules outlining every minute detail)

(They even shot a demo film beforehand.)

(They are the industry leader in planned and structured action.)

Even though we had the continuity, we still had to keep revising it.

That's exactly why I don't write anything out.

Really? For me, I have to see it in writing first...

to see and understand the whole story and picture.

(Frustrated)

I need a rough sketch prepared,

at the minimum, because I'm someone who plans ahead.

I'm an INTJ.

What? I'm INTJ too,

- Really? - but I don't plan ahead.

How can we be this different?

Even if everything seems perfect, I still don't think that's enough.

We may have prepared 200 percent, but when we're actually on set...

Have some flexibility.

You really shot the film according to the continuity, right?

Yes. It follows our continuity...

to a tee.

But that's the thing.

The reason I don't really write things down is...

because we actually take abstract concepts and ideas...

and visualize them for the audience.

We're very different from writers.

I always believed that we shouldn't be fooled by words.

(We're in trouble...)

Seriously, our...

(We're in trouble...)

filming styles are too conflicting.

I'm a planner through and through.

If you improvise like that...

mistakes are bound to happen. Unless you're a genius.

It's nice to have plans and be structured,

But once we're on set and see what we're working with,

they were many times when things didn't always go as we'd planned.

(A deafening silence follows after their tumultuous meeting.)

Each team's approach is so different.

I think we are a little too different.

Let me ask you a question.

- Be straightforward and honest. - Yes.

As a leader, can you trust in my directing authority, Jae Nam?

We have to trust you now.

Because I plan on placing complete faith in you and your teammates.

(They're polar opposites when it comes to artistic style.)

We won't say a word.

No, I want you guys to speak up and voice your opinions.

(Will these two teams be able to overcome their differences?)

(Nestled deep in the depths of the mountains, )

(there is a place with an old atmosphere.)

(The charming pond and ferry)

(Vibrant streets that warm your hearts)

(The Great Hall where you might find valiant warriors)

(The stage has been set for "The Heroes of South Korea" mission.)

(Giggling)

- I look like a total Asian beauty. - Who?

Forget beauty. I only meant Asian.

- I look like a total grandmother. - You're pretty.

(The grandmother sits, basking in all her glory.)

(Everyone's time traveling to the Joseon Dynasty.)

It's my first time having my hair in a topknot.

(Feeling awkward about her first ever topknot)

Gosh, it's Goo Ma Juk.

Goo Ma Juk. Im Kkeok Jeong is here too.

(He's the neighborhood's visual gangster.)

I brought something. Can you go grab it for me?

- It's over there. - What is it?

This is from Jae Nam's wife.

- My wife's the best. - What is it?

Open it.

(A gift of encouragement for ORTHODOX sent by Jae Nam's wife)

What is it? Is it a protein shake?

- No, it's not. It's for energy. - It's an energy drink.

- Do you want it strong? - Yes.

- Yes. - Should I add another pack then?

You know that it's good for you, don't you?

(Shake)

This is it.

(You are now fully charged.)

- How is it? - It's delicious.

- Really? - Yes, the flavor suits my taste.

(Delighted)

This is really tasty.

Now that I've had this, I feel like I can fight well.

- Is that so? - Yes.

Since we're all energized now, let's go over there...

- and give it our all. - Yes.

(The anticipation for today's mission intensifies.)

Going beyond South Korea to select the best action team in the world,

this is "Super Action," and I'm your super host, Jun Hyun Moo. Greetings.

(Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Host.)

It feels like everyone should just commence filming immediately.

The atmosphere here is no joke today.

We also seem to have some new faces sitting here with us,

especially that beggar over there. I'm not sure who he is.

(Did you say "beggar?")

He's a bandit.

He's Im Kkeok Jeong.

You've been with us throughout the entire competition, right?

- You're team MONGDOL? - Yes.

Wow, how astonishing.

(It's me, Choi Min.)

Anyway, what a change of pace it is...

to see everyone outdoors.

First of all,

let's meet the team that managed to obtain...

first dibs on team selection, story selection, and directing rights...

with their outstanding teamwork. MONGDOL,

great to have you here.

(MONGDOL)

The reason why MONGDOL chose to collaborate with 9STUNT was...

because they seemed like they would be very obedient.

(Obedient person 1)

(Obedient person 2)

Allow me to ask you this, director Kim Jong Myeon.

Were they indeed obedient?

(The thing is...)

We were, weren't we?

- They were absolutely cooperative. - Really?

I didn't have to explain myself twice.

Were there no disagreements or conflicts, even in the tiniest bit?

None at all.

- Si Jung, you're also a director. - Yes.

- Did you not say something like, - Yes.

"Wouldn't this be better?"

I did try to give helpful...

- suggestions here and there. - Yes.

But my teammates and I all liked the overall story...

- and direction he was going for. - Right.

So we all agreed to come together,

and we listened to and followed...

- the director as best as we could. - That's nice to hear.

Ultimately, they're saying that they had good teamwork.

Thank you, Si Jung.

(Thank you, Si Jung.)

- Director Jae Nam, it seems... - Yes.

you're a little down compared to the last time we saw you.

Well, things didn't exactly go as I would have liked them to.

"Things didn't exactly go as I would have liked them to."

(Ha)

Just how bad was it?

I couldn't help but think,

"What if our team had the directing rights instead?"

I guess we were horrible to work with.

It would have been nice to have done it our way,

but it is what it is.

(They seemed to have gone through a hard time in many ways.)

- Did they fight? - It appears so.

(An uneasy and inexplicable tension runs between the two teams.)

I have to say though, conflict is to be expected, isn't it?

- How was it for you, Se Gye? - Yes.

- Their way of directing was... - Yes.

completely opposite from ours.

I've never experienced anything like it before.

it was difficult for me to adapt,

but since we didn't have a say, I just trusted them and did as told.

Let me ask BEST's teammates this.

What do you believe could have been so different...

that the other team is commenting how hard and difficult it was?

Team ORTHODOX is very methodical and organized.

- We are more... - Hey.

(Jumps to his feet)

(Shivers)

- He's criticizing his own team. - This is a teamkill.

They are infighting.

(BEST's thrilling and interesting family quarrel.)

Don't you think you're being too harsh?

I even wrote everything out this time.

Director Lee Tae Young leaves the creative process to his instincts.

(Attempts to smooth things over)

Gosh, Jun Seok.

He should say no more.

(Jun Seok, stop talking.)

Director Lee Tae Young must be more of the genius kind then.

Yes, of course.

He conceptualizes in his head.

I have a general idea of what you're trying to say.

(A sudden conclusion)

Now,

the fierce war of period dramas between the stunt actors...

will finally unfold.

We began our 1st mission with 6 teams.

Only four teams remain now.

With today's United Mission,

yet another team will face elimination.

All right.

Let me introduce the judges...

who will evaluate the four teams today as always.

- Come on out. - Hello.

(Three judges of Super Action)

- Hello. - Hello.

(Stuntman Lee In Sub, Actor Jang Hyuk)

(Film director Kang Yun Sung)

Let's see.

I hope everyone can make it to the next round.

But some of them will be eliminated.

There must be characteristics of period dramas.

Can you tell us the criteria?

As two teams worked together,

- I'm going to see the balance. - Okay.

And how the characters are portrayed in the story.

I'm going to judge based on these.

I'm going to see how they adapted it into live action.

I'm going to judge based on that.

Of course, I'm going to see the techniques and skills.

I'm good as long as the viewers find it interesting and convincing...

whether it be a real or fusion action.

- It has to be convincing. - Yes.

- That's also very important. - Yes.

Okay. From now on, let's begin the live action.

The first group will portray Hong Gil Dong,

a righteous outlaw...

in Korea's first novel written in Korean alphabet.

MONGDOL and 9STUNT.

The judges will watch it right in front of the Great Hall...

where the live action show will happen.

BEST and ORTHODOX...

will enter the Great Hall.

(United Mission: "Biography of Hong Gil Dong...")

(by MONGDOL and 9STUNT)

Team Hong Gil Dong is coming in.

I missed director Park Jin Soo.

(Excited)

(Collaboration between period drama experts and disaster stunt experts)

(Confident)

(Confident)

All right. It's Team Hong Gil Dong.

Can you explain...

how you're going to portray Hong Gil Dong?

It was a joint effort.

- So 2 teams became 1. - Yes.

As 2 teams are working together, we got 2 Hong Gil Dongs.

(Two Hong Gil Dongs)

- Two lines? - Two Hong Gil Dongs.

- Two. - Two Hong Gil Dongs.

- You have two Hong Gil Dongs? - Yes.

- One from each team. - Yes. One from each team.

What would it be like?

Is it like a clone technique?

You'll know if you watch the video.

I think he got you immediately.

(Is he caught?)

No, he didn't.

He didn't?

You'll see it in the video.

(I'm curious.)

Can you tell us who he is?

I saw him from the beginning and he looks like a beggar.

- This guy? - Yes.

He's like Im Kkeok Jeong. He's a roughneck.

(What did you say?)

He's a bad guy who steals money from people on the streets.

- Is he like an extra? - Yes.

I see.

(Anticipating)

Actually, their relationship is very interesting.

For "Police Story,"

- you competed against each other. - Yes.

It's like your enemy from yesterday became your ally today.

Did it affect your work honestly?

(They remade the same work.)

(But the two teams showed completely different stunts.)

Was there any problem? I want to ask you again.

It wasn't easy.

(Awkward)

(Having so much fun)

There wasn't a big problem.

We cooperated closely.

Are you holding a grudge?

No, I'm not.

(Strong denial)

(Did they really finish filming without a problem?)

(Two days before the shooting of the action film)

Jong Myeon.

Hi.

This place looks good for the shoot.

I really like the mood here. Don't you agree?

By myself...

(They're searching for a shooting spot instead of Jin Soo.)

It'd be nice to utilize...

- the street of the market. - Yes.

Down there. When they go out...

You think it should be the main spot anyway.

I think this could be the main direction.

We should take pictures.

- I really like this place. - Yes.

From here...

- Let's go from here to here. - A long take.

Let's get him to play the pipe on the high place.

If MONGDOL and 9STUNT work together,

it's going to be good.

- Let's do it. - Let's do it.

We can win. Let's do it.

Cross.

(MONGDOL and 9STUNT's collaboration)

(The final rehearsal 1 day before the shoot)

- Hello. - Hello.

What's the matter?

Did you come by yourself?

Hello.

(The captain has arrived.)

- So this is the market street. - Yes.

(He checks the shooting spot Si Jung and Jong Myeon decided on.)

(Market street)

(It's the main spot selected by Jong Myeon and Si Jung.)

Is this all?

Yes. This side and the opposite side.

It's smaller than I thought.

Yes. The space is...

(He doesn't like it.)

Where is the last fighting spot?

It'd be either this space or...

(The two shooting spots are right next to each other.)

Either this space...

- or... - We can't do it here.

over there. That's what we were thinking.

This space is small.

- Right. It is small. - It won't look good on the screen.

I went to the place for the first time.

We decided to film the first scene on the market street.

But it looked too small and stuffy to me.

(Looking around)

Can't we put stalls here?

On both sides.

Yes. We can move them.

Let's go with the bigger one. It looks better to me.

Tell them to move...

all the stalls here.

This is better.

Put the stalls on both sides.

Put the props and stuff like this.

Let's use that roof.

- Over there? - Do you see the one at the end?

Let's make him hide behind the roof and look.

- I think it'd be the best spot... - Yes.

to look at the market.

What kind of move do we need here?

Make one of them fall into the water here.

I'll film the silhouette of them bumping into each other later.

So make one of them fall here. Let's make it simple.

(A 4-meter fall into the water is casually added.)

- How is the depth? - The water isn't that deep.

I put an umbrella there.

Should we float a mattress on the water?

The pathing changed a lot.

Compared to what we talked about before,

most of them changed.

That's how they usually work.

I'm used to it.

Although it's something I haven't experienced for a long time.

- Let's do a rehearsal, Hyun Soo. - Yes.

Let's try the sequence we practiced before slowly.

- Okay. - Okay.

I'll do it slowly.

(The scene where Hong Gil Dong punishes bad guys in the market)

Go.

Kick his balls.

- Here. - Punching him here.

Okay. Do it slowly. We'll watch every move.

Don't flip him for real.

- Okay. Let's move on now. - Do a shoulder throw.

Throw him over.

(It's a complicated action scene because it's a 1-on-6 fight.)

- Fall there. - Yes.

- Pretend that it's a club. - Yes.

- You must be rolling on the ground. - Yes.

You're coming when he's rolling, right?

Hold on. At this moment,

In Hwan, try acting.

Gently.

Do it gently.

Then you say, "Be quiet."

Then put him down.

(He put the last thug down with a sword.)

I need one more person in the back.

(Thinking)

There's no highlight...

in these moves.

(Nervous)

I see.

I think you should move a little.

It's not fun to do it only here.

Right. I got it.

How many are you?

It's 2, 4, 6, 7...

- You're six. - Yes.

It's 1 versus 6 and you can't beat him?

- Realistically, you guys will win. - Yes.

Then what do you have to do?

He shouldn't have a break.

When he attacks once, you should attack once as well.

- I got it. - All right.

It has to be rough.

But you attacked him 1 by 1.

It's not interesting.

Do it slowly again.

(They changed the overall sequence to match the place.)

No. You should make it cool.

(They changed the overall sequence to match the place.)

Yes.

Grab him in the meantime.

In the meantime,

grab him and throw him like this.

Got you.

(Grabbing the back of his neck)

Then...

- You should flip over properly. - Yes, sir.

Start over.

Okay.

(They rehearse the new sequence.)

He's waiting.

(Hesitant)

- Are you okay? - Yes.

(They paused for a moment before they keep going.)

Do it properly.

Hey.

(Second attempt)

(Staggering)

Do it properly.

(As it got more complicated, the rehearsal is not going well.)

Guys.

- Yes. - Yes.

If you do it like this, it'll be the same even after ten practices.

I got it, sir.

I keep getting tensed up.

That's why I told you to practice while looking in the mirror.

You didn't do that.

(Awkward)

We should've practiced beforehand.

But we're doing completely different moves here.

(Everyone is having a hard time because the moves have changed.)

Compared to the first mission, we didn't have much time to prepare.

The moves kept changing.

It was confusing.

I didn't know what to do.

We didn't receive a proper continuity,

so it's quite confusing.

(It's quite confusing.)

(They pull themselves together and try it again.)

I'm sorry.

(Staggering)

Will you avoid it once or will you do it immediately?

I'll do it immediately.

(They keep making mistakes in the action scene.)

- Faster. - I'll do it again.

My goodness.

(Will Team MONG9 be able to finish the action film?)

- Hey. Do it properly. - Yes.

"Biography of Hong Gil Dong" with two Hong Gil Dongs.

Let's get the live action started.

Super Action.

- Super Action. - Super Action.

Yes.

(They go to the live action spot.)

- Let's do a cheer before we start. - Yes.

(MONGDOL initiates it.)

(9STUNT responds.)

(Team MONG9 has perfect teamwork.)

I wasn't nervous today.

I worked with Si Jung before. We were on the same team.

I know Si Jung is good,

so I believed in him, which put me at ease.

Director Park Jin Soo is a good supervisor.

We're following his instructions with high spirits.

I'm expecting a good result.

Check the surroundings one last time.

Check the spot and props.

Organize it.

- Yes, sir. - Hyun Soo. Is everything good?

If you find something uncomfortable, cover it.

- You can breathe and shout. - Okay.

In Hwan is good.

(Compliment)

- I'm going to beat you. - Yes.

They have great teamwork. Probably because they were on the same team.

(That's right.)

(Scene 1: Market street, scene 2: Backstreet)

(The live spots for MONGDOL and 9STUNT)

It's interesting.

Get some silk.

- I'm fine. - Get some silk.

- My goodness. - Try it.

How about some omija?

(They're smiling thanks to the twins.)

- Do it safely. - Sure.

Don't get hurt.

(Scene 1: Market street)

(The judges are in their position to watch the live show.)

One of the interesting props for an action scene in a period drama...

is something like this.

It has soft materials.

You can fall on those props.

- So they arranged them beforehand. - You can see it.

I'm 100 percent sure someone will fall on it.

Right.

Someone will fall on here too.

Okay. Are you ready?

- Yes. - Yes.

Get ready. Let's do it.

- Are you ready? - Yes, we're ready.

Here we go.

- "Get some silk." - Yes.

- All right. - Say it louder.

(A group of bullies)

(And two Hong Gil Dongs)

Let's go.

("Biography of Hong Gil Dong" of MONGDOL and 9STUNT)

Action.

Action.

Get some silk.

Get some silk.

We got silk.

It's selling very well.

We got pretty ones.

Who allowed you to do business here?

Who allowed you to do business here?

(She threw herself for the scene.)

They're bullies.

(Bullies show up on the peaceful street.)

- Who? - Gosh.

Destroy everything.

Please don't do it.

(Screaming)

They're violent.

- Who allowed it? - Hey.

(The market became a mess because of the bullies.)

- No. - You should've paid up.

No.

(Appearing)

Hey.

Who are you?

Here comes Hong Gil Dong.

Please.

(Holding his hat)

That's Hong Gil Dong's signature item.

What's this guy in blue?

Are you a baby?

(Laughing)

(The leader of the gang attacks him when he least expected it.)

(Kicking)

(Strong stunt kicks)

(Impressed)

(Amazing stunt jump)

(He poured everything into his acting!)

Hey.

(Throwing)

Get him.

(Grabbing)

(It got the bullies surprised.)

The fabric.

(Turning)

(Fluttering silk)

(Split kick)

(Surprised)

(Shouting)

Please be easy on me.

He hit him on the head.

(Stunt using a prop)

(Perfect)

(It's right up his alley.)

(Stunt with a hat)

(He put the bullies down.)

- Hong Gil Dong. - Hong Gil Dong.

Come here.

- Hong Gil Dong. - Hong Gil Dong.

(The bullies are kicked out of the market.)

You bad guys.

Hong Gil Dong.

He took a girl.

(This is fun.)

Hyuk said they'll fall on here, here, and here...

beforehand.

They really fell on all those spots.

(See those soft props?)

(They will fall on all of them for sure.)

(Look at the wagon here.)

It might look like they just put the props there.

But they arranged them on purpose...

for an effect.

It's interesting.

We'll move on to the next scene.

- Okay. - Sounds good.

(Scene 2: Backstreet of the market)

He was too hard on us.

Why did he hit me so hard?

- Are you injured? - What?

Are they the ones who were hit?

He became a fool.

(In a daze)

Gosh.

- Goodness. - Good job, everyone.

(Is he Hong Gil Dong?)

(Good job, everyone.)

Hey, he became a fool.

- What? - Did they plan it?

He's fake Hong Gil Dong.

He's one of them.

They planned it.

This is fun.

This is interesting.

How much did you get?

- I took some. - How much?

- I took 5,000 nyang. - You took 5,000 nyang?

It's you.

(Appearing)

Here comes the real Hong Gil Dong. It's Si Jung.

It's you.

The fake one.

- The fake one? - The fake one?

What is he talking about?

He was the fake one?

(Interesting)

This is fun.

Is he the fake one?

(Who is he?)

(You punk.)

(Rolling)

Hey.

- How many times did you roll? - Hey.

(How many times did you roll?)

(Laughing)

- "How many times did you roll?" - It's comedic as well.

Who is that guy? Get him.

Get him.

(It's a 720-degree wire kick.)

The girls are pulling the wire.

The twin sisters.

(Twin sisters who are good at pulling wires)

Can they use a machine? Do people have to do it?

- Is it dangerous? - Yes.

- A machine can't control it. - It can't control it.

(Perfect center of gravity)

(A tornado kick...)

(of a Wushu master.)

(Amazing diving skills)

(Surprised)

(They're just impressed.)

Si Jung can still kick.

He should beat them up now.

Hey.

- No. - Please.

They're doing a slow motion themselves.

(Slow motion)

(It's high-class comic action.)

Oh, my.

(Screaming)

(Save me.)

I think he is really doing it.

Take this.

(Fake Hong Gil Dong is running away.)

(Stop there.)

It's simple,

but they put many elements.

(Scene 3: Real Hong Gil Dong enters the hideout of the bullies)

This setting is very pretty.

Who are you?

(Charging)

(Impressed)

The stunt on the bridge is very cool.

They're fighting there...

for a beautiful shot.

(It's a one-take action scene with no break.)

(It's a stunt scene played by experts. Do not try it.)

(Even their colleagues are shocked.)

(Unbelievable)

(He lost in it.)

You need to have experience to fall like that,

- Of course. - right?

You should act even while falling.

Flapping your arms and legs.

It looks high here,

- but it's much higher over there. - Yes.

He should jump and fall.

(It's an extremely difficult stunt as he should jump off the handrail.)

You need the experience to do that.

You should fall right on the mattress.

If you make a mistake, you'll spin.

Then you won't know where you will fall.

It's a very difficult move.

(It's followed by incredible stunt moves.)

Cut.

This is it.

(Standing ovation)

I enjoyed it.

Are you okay?

- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm okay.

- Are you okay, Ji Hoon? - Yes.

It's cool.

You're the best.

Great job.

When there's water, there's always someone...

who falls into it.

Why did you fall?

- I told him to do so. - You did?

(It looked good.)

So...

- Squeeze the clothes. - Are you not hurt?

They have great teamwork.
