[Infinite Power]
Episode 3 [Unknown world, getting to know the world and what in the world...]
The ninth level civil service exam was held
on November 3rd at 226 different locations nationwide.
This year's open recruitment exam will be
selecting 90,269 new government workers
from the total of 163,000 applicants...
That's right. How did your exam go Gi Han?
That is... There was a little problem...
It wasn't that great.
Do you want some more soup? We have your favorite, bean sprouts soup.
Can I have some more rice, too?
I'm saying this because I'm really worried about you.
I'm not sure whether you are a studious type.
You should give it up and learn a skill before it's too late.
I want to try a little while longer.
It's only been three years and...
I don't want all my efforts to go to waste.
You know, sometimes being tenacious has its disadvantages.
In no time, three years will turn into 10 and then 20 years.
Yesterday, I got a call from a TV station.
One of the villagers must have tipped them off.
What in the World...
is a TV program and they want to cover a story about my infinite power machine.
- Awesome! - Really?
What do you guys think?
Of course, you need to do it. Do it! Do it! We'll all be on TV.
I need to start a skin care regimen right away.
Gi Han you look so...
Sun Jae, your hair...
Fine, you two should come outside after you've eaten.
- I'm going to change your style. - Can you leave me out of it?
Sun Jae, how can you think about studying now?
We are going to be on TV.
Do you have something to wear for the interview?
Come to my room later.
I can just wear my school uniform.
But then, I guess I'll just come and look.
I think what you wear really can change the way you look.
You don't need to do much.
Why don't I just get this over with? Put a blanket on the bench outside now.
Soo Ja, come and help me.
Is there something you want me to do?
Gi Han, you have a pear-shaped face so...
we should go with the "wiped-out by hurricane" kind of look.
'Hurricane hair'... this will be good. Let's go with this.
Sol, I'll take care of this one. I know the look.
Soo Ja... the way you express your affection feels a little aggressive.
And our Sun Jae...
Since you look like him.
Wear this for the interview.
Last year, I got this for him on Father's Day.
But he wanted to save it and left it in the wardrobe.
It's almost never been worn.
A TV station is coming out to cover a story here.
I really didn't want to but the kids were so excited.
I heard that program is really famous.
Am I bragging?
No way.
Whoa, how did you ever think of all these things?
It's brilliant.
Originally, I made this for my wife, who was sick at the time.
But others found the machine very handy.
Ah... very handy.
I'd like to see you use the machine.
Would you please help us here?
This is my favorite, the automatic curtain.
Whenever it's moving, my favorite trot songs (oldies) come out.
These chopsticks are only for eating noodles.
Unlike regular chopsticks, there are ridges at the end...
so the noodles will never slip off.
Also, we have a tool that combines a spoon and chopsticks.
[Chopsticks and a spoon at the same time.]
No more worrying about hair getting into your food.
In this boarding house, we have a head piece
that holds the hair when drinking hot broth.
It's around position 3.5.
You can find the itchy area no problem.
What do think about all these?
It's a case of delusion of grandeur.
I'm ready now.
I think they're about to start the interview.
After mister, it should be our turn.
I'm going to go first.
Ah, would you mind being quiet over there?
Then we're going to start the interview.
It's rolling now.
Its height is equivalent to four adult males and weighs 20 tons.
I understand over 1000 parts were used to build this machine.
Yes, that's right.
Wow... then how long did it take you to build it?
I think it took about 20 years.
20 years...
Excuse me but what was the total cost?
About... 200 million won. ($200,000)
What does the infinite power machine mean to you?
To me, the infinite power machine is...
The kids are watching.
Would you mind giving us a minute so that he could be more comfortable?
What is it?
What are they talking about outside?
It's obvious. He's saying alternative energy, blah, blah...
Environmentalism on earth, blah, blah...
Don't get hurt when you see your dad's interview later.
Rather than me...
The interview is finished.
- What about us? us? - What about our interview?
- Excuse me? - I even took a day off.
We'll wrap this up by shooting you working the infinite power machine.
