(EXchange 2)

(EXchange 2)

(They sit in the familiar order as usual.)

(Today, where everyone's faces are full of sadness, )

(is the viewing of the last episode of EXchange 2.)

(It's the perfect day for an overly-immersed conversation.)

- Hello, dear viewers. - Hello, dear viewers.

This is the original variety show, EXchange 2.

- I'm Jeong Ki Seok. - I'm Kim Ye Won.

- I'm Yura. - And I'm BamBam.

You guys aren't ready to say goodbye to EXchange 2, right?

- Of course not. - Not yet.

We can't let it go. Not over our dead bodies.

- Who will we see on Fridays now? - I know.

Couldn't you please just extend it by five episodes?

Seriously.

(The overly-immersed conversation about EXchange 2 starts now.)

(EXchange 2, the days of being overly immersed)

I have goosebumps.

That's it.

(What was the best reaction scene to EXchange 2?)

Could I go first?

- Yes. - Yes.

- You're so enthusiastic. - I really...

can't forget about this.

When Yura...

showed her bare feet...

and reacted while stomping her feet.

"See you tomorrow!"

It was during the scene where Hyun Gyu said,

- It was Hyun Gyu. - "See you tomorrow."

I remember her name.

It's Hae Eun.

Look at Gyu Min's face.

You don't have any feelings for me.

It's fine.

Enjoy your date.

See you tomorrow, Hae Eun.

Gosh.

But seriously, her entire body was scrunched up like this.

She was so cute as she reacted with her whole body.

I think I replayed that scene the most out of both seasons.

- Oh, really? - Yes, really.

I thought everyone was feeling the same way as she did.

See you tomorrow, Hae Eun.

(Oh, my goodness.)

I saw this comment online.

Hyun-Hae Couple is Jeong Ki Seok's creation.

(Ki Seok was so sincere about Hyun-Hae Couple.)

When that couple was having a conversation in the car,

they suddenly held hands.

They were like, "Don't look."

At the time, both Yura and I were covering our mouths in shock.

Hae Eun is frozen!

- She's frozen. - Hae Eun is frozen.

- What will she do? - Right now...

There were so many comments that said we had been synced.

- "Ki Seok and Yura are synced." - I know.

I felt as if my hand had just been grabbed.

My palms were sweating.

BamBam asked me if my hands were shaking.

(Ki Seok was actually in sync with Hae Eun too.)

I feel like I can rely on you since you're not afraid.

My favorite reaction scene is...

It's the first day, but it's so satisfying.

It's all wrong.

The ten days they spent are more entertaining than my life.

I think I will get hair loss while watching this.

Ten minutes here will change everyone.

- I know, right? There were... - "I know, right?"

I think it has to be "They're funny people."

They're funny people.

It hasn't been that long since they read their ex's letters.

How are they already starting anew?

I'm still sitting here today because of that one reaction.

- I'm so grateful. - It's like...

That comment was like the beginning of BamBam's opening act.

I think it was the turning point in my life.

(Laughing)

- "They're funny people." - "They're funny people."

What a mess.

Seriously?

(What was the most overly-immersed time on EXchange 2?)

Why are you doing that?

Gosh, I can't breathe.

- There were too many. - I know.

- We were overly immersed so often. - Right.

Whenever Hee Doo and Na Yeon fought,

I think I was overly immersed.

- Really? - I was going to say the same thing.

- That suffocating feeling, right? - Right.

Hee Doo was standing in the doorway,

and Na Yeon was sitting while they fought.

I can't forget about that scene.

I want to start fresh, but how can I do that...

when you and I are the same?

I can't talk to her out of everyone in the world.

- It's just this tiny bit. - It's literally this much.

(Why is this the most overly-immersed scene?)

When you fight with a lover, there's a weird feeling afterwards.

But watching that scene made me feel the same way.

I thought, "I didn't do anything, so why do I feel like this?"

- I didn't have a fight, so why? - I know.

I don't have anyone to make up with,

- but I feel like I should. - I want to make up with someone.

- Talk it out with someone. - Yes, it feels that way,

- but nobody's there to do it with. - Right.

I think there are three types of love.

There's physical love, mental love, and these guys' love.

- These guys' love... - There are exactly three.

I think I was overly immersed in Hae Eun's emotional ups and downs.

Maybe it was because she cried a lot and had a hard time.

I found myself following along with Hae Eun's emotions a lot.

It hurt.

It was so...

We used to be so different to how we are now.

I was so sad.

(This time, we are breaking up for real.)

I hope you wouldn't be upset.

No, but...

I was upset earlier.

I'm sorry. Earlier...

- I felt that way. - Of course.

My heart was really fluttering.

It really was. How can he be like that?

I thought I should take my necklace off when going to see Hyun Gyu.

Hyun Gyu might not know, but it's meaningful for me.

I just took it off.

You waited for a long time, right?

Were you surprised?

Don't cry.

The part where I was overly immersed in terms of my emotions...

was at the end when Gyu Min cried.

- Oh, right. - I usually don't...

You guys both cried a lot.

I didn't cry a lot.

- I teared up a bit. - I held my tears back.

(The ex date is now over.)

(You can go on a secret date with one person besides your ex.)

I wanted to have omakase with you.

But it's suddenly over.

- I thought it would end at night. - I know.

I feel sad.

We have to go have omakase.

Let's go next time.

- Next time? - Yes, it's okay.

- Next time? - I'll buy it for you next time.

- We're going next time? - Yes, I'll treat you next time.

When? When is "next time?"

- I'll buy it for you. - Why are you crying?

Why are you crying?

It ended so unexpectedly.

I thought I would finally get to spend time talking to you.

I know.

(They all burst into tears at Gyu Min's true feelings.)

Gyu Min's complicated feelings?

I could see how sad he was for it to be over.

I really tried to hold back too.

But once I start crying, I cry for so long.

So I didn't want to cry.

I never saw BamBam cry.

Usually, when you cry, you just say, "It's so sad."

But we were all like, "Why am I crying?"

- Right. - Why am I crying?

- I know. - Why am I suddenly sad?

I don't think I should be crying, so why am I sad?

We know how that feels,

- so we related to it and cried. - That's right.

Gosh.

- You're copying me. - Gosh, this is...

(You cried, I cried, and we all cried.)

There were hard moments of being overly immersed,

but I thought being overly immersed was kind of fun and therapeutic too.

When Na Eon and Tae I went to have omakase...

- The black pork? - Yes.

Watching them in that scene,

I thought it was a very representative scene...

of what it means to be happy in a small but sure way...

as lovers or even as a married couple.

(I'm happy.)

But I was so overly immersed in it...

that I said they should get married.

(Shouldn't they just get married?)

- Already? - You already want them to marry?

- I even wanted to go eat there too. - Me too.

They seemed to enjoy the food so much.

(What was the most upsetting moment of EXchange 2?)

That part where it was like watching Hae Eun's monologue...

when she was in front of the mirror...

- Oh, right. - Let's have fun this evening.

She was so sad, but she kept trying to hold emotions back.

But then she just ended up crying.

It was a scene that showed Hae Eun's emotions so well.

I think everyone describes that scene as one of the best.

- Really? - Yes.

Let's go eat lunch.

Okay, I'll look forward to it.

The people around me also said that scene...

- I mean, not that it's a movie... - That scene, yes.

- It's because you're an actress. - But it really seemed like a drama.

I know. It felt like a scene from a drama or a movie.

We could really see her emotions in that scene.

(From the first day...)

Won Bin, at the end,

seemed to lose his mental strength.

So he was sick and low on energy.

I felt upset for him then.

Right. Won Bin and Ji Soo...

had a misunderstanding.

I think I was upset when that happened too.

So after that, Won Bin was really down.

- Both of them were. - Yes, they were.

- It was neither this nor that. - Right.

I think the most upsetting moment for me was...

when we watched the last episode.

- The last... - The fact that it's over.

- Yes, the fact that it's over... - This moment, right now.

(How do you feel now that EXchange 2 is over?)

This kind of interview makes it feel like it's really over. I hate it.

- We didn't do this in Season One. - No, we didn't.

Now that you ask us to say how we feel...

I'm not lying when I say that for the past three months,

I was so overly immersed...

that I was more into it than any movie or drama...

that I've seen before.

For me, our Monday shoots and the Friday broadcasts...

were like golden hours.

- Actually, all we did was watch. - Right.

It wasn't really hard for us.

We were here to enjoy it, and we truly like this show.

We're so sincere about the EXchange series.

Yes, you can feel it too, right?

I am just...

looking forward to EXchange 3.

As one of the participants?

As a participant?

"As one of the participants?"

- Are you going to be in it? - Let's go together.

What about you, Ye Won?

I also got to be a part of Seasons 1 and 2,

and I was so grateful that I got this opportunity.

I went through so many spectacular emotions.

We felt so many things, not just about love.

- We felt emotions of friendship... - Right.

- and emotions of growing up. - That's right.

I sympathized with them and also got comforted.

It's like I learned about life.

- That's right. - Learning about life.

It's like we felt emotions...

that we wouldn't normally feel by watching them.

- That's right. - That's what it felt like.

It's something we didn't feel from books or movies.

There were things that we never experienced.

I liked it because we could feel those things together.

I'm not sad that it's ending today.

We'll have Season Three anyway.

What if we won't have it?

What if we won't? Producer.

(That's not possible, Producer.)

There will be, right?

But it was a huge hit.

Maybe they won't do it because it's too much pressure now.

I can wait two years.

I can wait 2 years, so please make Season 3.

(Any last words for the participants of EXchange 2?)

I think I might cry.

Parting with the participants...

feels like I'm parting with my friends.

- That's right. - Exactly.

Every season, it's like saying goodbye to friends.

It feels sad to part with them.

It's like I won't be seeing my friends anymore.

- Like my friend is going abroad. - That's right.

I kept thinking how difficult it must have been...

for the participants in the show.

They must have been through a lot...

and felt a lot of things.

You all did a great job,

and I really hope everyone becomes happy.

We wish you happiness.

That's right.

Yong Jin couldn't come today.

But I remember what he said...

while watching one of the clips.

"After watching all this, they don't feel like strangers."

- That's what he said. - That's right.

I think we all feel like that.

You don't feel like strangers.

I hope you also keep supporting the participants...

even after the show ends.

I'd like to ask the viewers to cheer for them too.

- That's right. - Yes.

Please don't insult or attack them.

(Please don't insult or attack them!)

Even as this show is being aired,

you would have to interact with the public.

- That's right. - You would hear various opinions.

I hope you don't get hurt from that.

It's not like your life ends because EXchange ends.

I hope you use this time to look back on yourself.

And regarding the life to come,

I hope you live a better...

and happy life.

- That's right. - Yes.

That was a sincere word of encouragement.

- Why are you so good at Korean? - No, I'm not.

You speak better than me.

How long do you think it will take until you move on?

- It'll take the longest for her. - I was thinking...

of doing a marathon starting from Episode 1.

It might be more fun to watch when you know everything.

We will definitely wait for Season Three.

- Right? - That's right.

They want us to wrap up.

Because we need to start watching?

Anyway, thank you...

- for loving EXchange 2. - Thank you.

- Bye. - Bye.

- See you again. - Bye.

See you again. We'll come back soon.

(Welcome to the group viewing.)

Hello.

I'm Producer Lee Jin Joo, of EXchange. It's nice to meet you.

It's an honor to watch the last episode with you.

Many things have happened, right?

We cried, and we laughed. You know it too.

You were immersed, right?

- Yes! - Yes!

You had the same reaction as us, right?

- Yes. - Yes.

As far as I know, only 100 people were selected...

among 8,000 people.

You're very lucky.

I'm very glad that we can be immersed in the show together...

with the same mind.

I hope you learn many things...

through EXchange.

If there will be a Season Three,

I hope I don't see you there.

You know what I mean, right?

They shouldn't break up.

You shouldn't break up.

If you break up with your lover, you'll appear in Season Three.

If you don't, you won't. You know what I mean, right?

(We know.)

"You know what I mean?"

Actually, we produced this show for one year.

So when we think of the participants,

we just think they are cute.

So, no matter what the ending is today,

I hope you will keep rooting...

for the participants.

Thank you so much.

Shall we go now?

- Are we watching from here? - Yes. We'll watch here.

Let's watch it together.

(They all sit down for the last immersion.)

Hello.

Enjoy, everyone.

I'm having my first stage greeting through EXchange.

I know.

It feels different watching from here.

(It feels more exciting to watch it on a larger screen.)

It's a movie.

The screen is too big.

Let's go!

Let's start.

(The day of the final decision begins.)

It's really big.

Amazing.

- Do you need more drinks? - I have it.

(Taking a peek at the group viewing of EXchange 2)

Her hair...

(They're watching the final episode of EXchange 2.)

Why is he lying down there?

(Final Decision: Sung Hae Eun chooses Jung Hyun Gyu.)

(Collection of Ki Seok, the creator of Hyun-Hae Couple)

See you tomorrow, Hae Eun.

We didn't see that.

(My babies are doing well.)

(Screaming)

(Screaming)

(Screaming)

(The viewers are getting too into the clip.)

(I can't get enough of this.)

Why did you like it so much?

What did you like so much?

- I love it. - I mean...

- Why did he whisper? - "Because you're pretty."

We haven't seen that before.

We haven't. What is this?

I was so surprised.

(Everyone gets immersed...)

(and starts screaming at the screen.)

(You can't help but feel excited for EXchange 2.)

Oh, dear.

(EXchange 2)

It was amazing.

(Everything on the schedule has been completed.)

Here we go.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

I can't say goodbye.

Good work.

I'm so sad.

Look how much we cried.

- We used all our tissues. - We used them up.

It was so sad that I cried my eyes out.

I hope the three couples get married.

- Me too. - Seriously.

Keep your love alive for a long time.

I hope there's a happy ending for Na Eon and Tae I too.

I'm so happy. The last episode was legendary.

I could tell how much effort the crew put into it. I enjoyed it.

There's nothing I can ask for.

It was perfect as is.

- I want Season 3. - Please make Season 3!

I hope we won't be on the show.

(Why do you think people loved EXchange 2 so much?)

We wanted the viewers...

to follow the changes in the participants' feelings.

We tried to show...

what evoked certain emotions...

or changed their feelings in detail.

We included little details in the scenes...

in order to explain why and how their feelings changed in depth.

I think those little points...

helped the viewers understand better...

and relate to many scenes.

(What did you put the hardest work into?)

We put a lot of work into Ex Rooms in Season Two.

Even when we were choosing our participants,

their past relationships were the most important part.

Ex Rooms had to best show their dating history visually.

We've prepared Ex Rooms for each couple.

We worked hard for the rooms...

so that the participants can tell their relationship stories...

with symbols.

Our art director put a lot of thought...

into the artwork in the Ex Rooms too.

There was a big difference in the feelings...

of those who entered the room and those who didn't.

The rooms we put together helped the story develop.

Do you know the law of equivalent exchange?

What on earth is this?

(What are the best lines you can't deliver the same way?)

Until the last day, the one I wanted to be with...

(What are the best lines you can't deliver the same way?)

- It was you. - Right.

I liked the first thing Hee Doo said.

He said he wouldn't be fooled by how happy he was to see her.

I'm so happy to see you today.

But I won't be fooled by that.

(But I won't be fooled by that.)

- Oh, my. - Gosh.

It was a short line that summarized their relationship.

I thought I wouldn't have been able to come up with such a line.

When Hae Eun and Gyu Min reunited after a long time...

- We're so much older now. - Right?

We met at 21.

Now we're 29.

It showed how much time had passed,

so that line is also very memorable.

Why are you staring at me?

Because you're pretty.

(Say a few words for the EXchange 2 viewers.)

Goodness.

"Because you're pretty."

Our show had 20 episodes.

Even TV series have 12 to 16 episodes these days.

Some said our show had too many episodes.

We had no other choice...

because we wanted...

to squeeze our ten participants' stories into it.

We'd like to thank our viewers...

for joining us on the long journey.

I hope only good things happen to our participants.

I want to thank them...

for their sincerity on our show.

If you've been watching our show...

since Episode One,

you must feel close to the participants...

and have even developed friendships with them in your mind.

We wanted to be friends with them too.

Thank you for watching them and relating to them...

as if they're your friends.

I was happy while making the show.

Thank you.

Great work!
