From Korea's best drama of 2010, Baker King, Kim Tak Gu,
Yoon Si Yoon who plays Kim Tak Gu, sings a song to open up our show.
[Lead Character Kim Tak Gu Actor Yoon Si Yoon]
The lead actors from Baker King, Kim Tak Gu, have joined us today. Welcome.
[Lead Actors from Baker King, Kim Tak Gu]
Please introduce yourselves one by one.
Hello. I played the role of Seo In Sook in Baker King, Kim Tak Gu.
[Seo In Sook - Jeon In Hwa]
It seems a while since I've seen Mom so nervous.
Hello, I'm Ju Weon, who played cold yet warm Gu Ma Jun in Baker King, Kim Tak Gu.
Hello, I'm Eugene, who played for the first time a wicked woman, Shin Yoo Kyung.
Hello.
I'm Jung Sung Mo.
[Manager Han Seung Jae - Jung Sung Mo]
Hello. Tak Gu, who was called that not because he was good a ping pong,
but for Tak symbol meaning high, and Gu symbol meaning to save,
was played as a young boy by me, Oh Jae Mu.
Hello. Tak Gu, who was called that not because he was good a ping pong,
but for Tak symbol meaning high, and Gu symbol meaning to save,
was played as an adult by me, Yoon Si Yoon.
Hello.
I'm Jung Mi Sun who played the mother of the two Tak Gu's.
Yes, I'm Lee Young Ah who played fallen soybrick.
[Yang Mi Sun - Lee Young Ah]
It's really a pleasure!
We've gathered all of you, who showed us such wonderful acting,
but there seems to be a bit of a division here.
These folks seemed to have done the bad things.
Somehow we've been seated like this. -Seems so.
The villains. And on this side, the good guys.
But looking at these actors who played villains,
it's so awkward to see them smiling.
It's awkward for some reason.
Yes, your appearances look really fake right now.
You all look like you're trying to look kind.
I'd like to ask Jeon In Hwa a question right now.
Do you still hate Tak Gu?
As Seo In Sook, I do,
but as Jeon In Hwa, I'm so fond of him.
[Let's not mistake this for mere acting!]
If it wasn't for Tak Gu, Ma Jun wouldn't have led such a painful life.
[Mom worried about Ma Jun - Seo In Sook]
If I think about that, he's hateful.
[Mom is best!]
When the two of you act, you truly appear mother and daughter...
Mother and daughter?
You must have become quite close.
Well Ma Jun, Ju Weon, is really a warm-hearted person by nature.
Even now, he always comes and holds my hand and has smiling eyes.
- So... - He's never held my hand.
[Only nice to Mom?]
[Did you dislike me that much?]
[Taking the crying ahjussi's hand once... ]
I too have always dreamt of a role [Lee Han Wi, who played Heo Gab Su]
in a steamy melodrama alongside a beauty like Jeon In Hwa,
but even in this production,
I got pushed out by Jung Sung Mo.
Jung Sung Mo, having played in a happy melodrama, how does it feel...
Happy melodrama?
A steamy melodrama...
I really don't know.
In the confusion, there was no steamy.
There was just talk, there was no action.
Still throughout the production, you acted as having Seo In Sook in your heart the whole time.
Of course, it was an unconditional love...
Though it wasn't appropriate...
[A piercing comment!]
A man that gave everything for Seo In Sook,
but finds only at the very end that she didn't love the man Han Seung Jae.
He had some notion of that during the drama,
but when he finds out, he felt crazed, like his heart was going to bust.
Even my heart, Jung Sung Mo's heart felt like it would bust.
[An explosive, heated melodrama!]
So, your husband was played by Jeon Kwang Ryul. -Yes.
And there was a man who gave you unconditional love, so who would you pick actually?
[Jeon In Hwa's actual choice?]
I'm here, you know.
[Manager Han's assertive appeal]
If you're talking about the characters in the drama, I'd choose Han Seung Jae.
Because he did everything I wanted.
Gu Il Jung never gave me even a warm look.
If you don't consider personality but just looks, is it Jeon Kwang Ryul or Jung Sung Mo?
If you were to choose between them?
Since he's here, of course Jung Sung Mo.
No.
For you, I really felt this drama was a metamorphosis. - Yes, amazing.
You've always been a synonym for a good wife and mother.
- I had no idea you'd be such a good villain. - True, right?
You got a lot of badmouthing, didn't you, from people around you?
I didn't know this, but Jeon In Hwa is currently a model for cosmetics.
There's been no difficulty for her in the general opinion.
[Popularity unaffected at all by being a villain!]
What I don't understand is how Jung Sung Mo isn't getting any bites.
[Advertisers, give Manager Han some love!]
For the time being, live comfortably.
I think you should concentrated on dramas.
We played a married couple about 15 years ago.
Right. -In a KBS drama.
The feeling then and the feeling now are so different.
Seeing your seriousness and passion,
I was shocked.
Was she a half-hearted actress 15 years ago?
No, not half-hearted, but...
For Ju Weon, even as a villain, it's hard not to like him
because of his outstanding good looks...
I hear the people around you call you Dong Top Ju Weon.
- Dong Top? - Like a nickname, yes, Dong Top Ju Weon.
They looked upon me kindly and said I looked like Sunbae Kang Dong Weon
and Top (from Big Bang), so they nicknamed me Kang Dong Top.
But being compared to such impressive personalities,
I'm thankful and happy.
Then, do you think you're better than Kang Dong Weon or Top, Ma Jun?
Is that it?
I suppose I have some better points,
and worse ones as well.
[Wise answer to a silly question]
That's fair. Quite a diplomatic answer.
Which of your characteristics do you think is better than theirs?
Being innocently clean cut?
Eugene, for my generation, was a role model.
She was really an SES* fairy. (*Eugene's old girl group)
But you're transformation into a villainess was amazing.
Didn't you feel a little stressed by the role at first?
No, there was no stress. I was thirsty for a change.
When I saw the role of Shin Yoo Kyung, I really wanted to do it.
I think that was right.
Even though you transformed into a villainess, I still liked you.
[A confession amidst thunderous laughter!]
So pretty.
Do you think that it'll be okay? -What?
- You're about to be married. - She's not watching.
[He can sit back and relax!]
But, I really wanted to meet this guy, young Tak Gu, Oh Jae Mu.
[Top popularity]
You look like you'll be quite handsome when you grow up.
- He's cute and good-looking. - He is good looking.
So this was your debut?
Yes, I was dancing first,
but my mom thought acting would be fun and told me to give it a try.
You were dancing first?
Yes, originally, I danced a bit.
- Did you want to be a singer? - Tap dance?
No, just as a side hobby.
Dance a little as a side hobby.
Then, what's your main business?
He was also first in Math this year.
First in Math? -Oh he's a good student, too!
You must be really popular.
Well, it's all Yoon Si Yoon Hyung these days, so I'm now...
So, you see Yoon Si Yoon Hyung a little bit as a rival, then.
- How absurd. - Really.
Many people were really surprised!
How could your first acting job be so good?
Older Tak Gu, Yoon Si Yoon, frankly did you feel pressured, you know with any competitiveness?
What was the worst was
his saturi* was so smooth and lovable. (*country accent)
His was saturi and mine was pyoturi*. (*made up word mixing standard speech and saturi)
Ah pyojuneo* and saturi. (*standard language) -Yes.
In our drama, younger Tak Gu and older Tak Gu
does these set of same lines.
Off the Incheon shores, you may find soda,
but if you have no cup, you can't drink at all.
[Comic song and dog-leg dance]
Off the Incheon shores, you may find soda,
but if you have no cup, you can't drink at all.
[Same lines, different feel]
Why don't we see the different feel here?
[Younger Tak Gu vs. Older Tak Gu, Dance/Song Lightning Comparison]
Off the Incheon shores, you may find soda,
but if you have no cup, you can't drink at all.
[adorable]
Now Yoon Si Yoon, show us.
Off the Incheon shores, you may find soda,
but if you have no cup, you can't drink at all.
[faltering]
Well as far as this one goes, I think the older Kim Tak Gu's act
didn't quite measure up to the young one. - Yes.
It totally didn't measure up, totally.
I personally saw him for the first time today, Yoon Si Yoon.
Normally, when someone makes it big... - Yes.
he changes a little. When I made it really big as a newbie with Ureomma,
I became really conceited.
As an elder, what do you think?
Well, you know I would see Yoon Si Yoon on the set.
And these days, young people greet you straight on with these big eyes.
With their pupils dilated, "Oh hello. Hello. "
And if they're even happier, "Hello. " That's how they greet you.
But young Mr. Yoon Si Yoon greets people the way we do.
With a bent back and a slightly bent head.
Doing it all the time, he must get tired. He's got great respect.
Did I greet you earlier properly?
It was rather weak. -Ah yes.
Frankly speaking, I found it unpleasant.
Ah, now our Jung Mi Sun, you must have had a tough role as Tak Gu's mother.
Feeling a little bashful.
How do you feel being gathered all together in one spot here today?
What's a little bit of a shame, frankly,
is that even though I play Tak Gu's mother,
we met so late...
so, even though we were supposed to be the closest mother and son,
we were the most awkward.
With Yoon Si Yoon? -Yes.
We're both on the introverted side.
So I'd say, "We're supposed to look like the happiest and closest of mothers and sons,
but we're the most awkward. What should we do?" It was like that a little.
I think maybe because Jung Mi Sun isn't comfortable with strangers... -Mmm
You know I acted those early scenes regarding memories of my mother,
so when I first met that mother, I felt an unusual bond, but the moment she first sees me,
she says, "Young Mr. Si Yoon. "
Not even, "Hey Tak Gu. " "Young Mr. Si Yoon"
- Then, why don't you hold her hand now. - Yes, right.
[We want mother and son to become close!]
Actually, people don't know this,
but there are a lot of actors who are introverted,
almost appearing like they have a speech impediment.
But, when we saw you scene by scene,
you really portrayed a true and simple mother.
Yes. At some point, I'd forgotten how to dress.
So when Sunbaenim came dressed nicely, I'd be like, "Oh!"
Without even knowing it, when she walked in, I'd feel a sort of thirst-quenching feeling.
- Like living through her. - Yes, when I'd see her.
Maybe that's why even though both of you are wearing black today, Jung Mi Sun has the plunging neckline.
- Yes, I've been building up a grudge. - A grudge.
You don't seem so introverted.
[Vivacious Tak Gu's mother!]
Lee Young Ah, you've been part of this big hit as well,
but every drama you've participated in has become a hit,
The Golden Bride, Iljimae, all good productions you've been a part of.
Is there a secret to successful productions like that?
The dramas all hit over 30 percent viewership ratings,
but I was the only one that never made it big.
She's the most introverted one.
Look at how bashful she is.
Did you expect this?
First i felt a little pressured by the competition.
But the script was so engaging.
We had a bet going with the writer.
I bet the first ratings would be about 30 percent.
It would be pretty unbelievable to hit that on the first episode, but I thought why not feel good?
It's only a thousand won for the bet.
Then, who won that bet on the first episode ratings?
Si Yoon did.
On the one hand, we had someone who just thought why not feel good about it,
- I figured even 10 thousand won... - You wanted to win.
After all, I don't live alone. I support my parents.
Even beyond the decimal point.
Right after I saw the script,
I thought couldn't this drama hit 50-60 percent?
Really? -That's how I felt.
They all said "No. "
But ultimately, it did hit those numbers,
so I'm happy.
All the actors involved have fallen in love with the piece.
So to find out what exactly was in this drama to reach 50 percent viewership,
we now start the full story of Baker King, Kim Tak Gu.
The scene is 1960.
A wife that could only give birth to daughters.
Why in heaven's name do you only give birth to daughters?
And, thanks to some scheming cooperation of her mother-in-law,
Chairman Gu Il Jung spends a night with governess Mi Sun.
And what is this?!
She becomes with child after one night!
[Seo In Sook finds out about Mi Sun's pregnancy. ]
There is no son between you and your husband.
Maybe if it were the seed of another man...
Could she sit still after hearing such a thing?
Stay with me.
I want to be with you.
Give me a son!
The son born from Gu Il Jung and Mi Sun has become 12.
I'm not a bum kid,
I'm Kim Tak Gu.
Tak symbol meaning high, and Gu symbol meaning to save, that's why it's Tak Gu.
Tak Gu's only blessing, his first love Yoo Kyung.
Off the Incheon shores, you may find soda,
- but if you have no cup, you can't drink at all. - There it is again.
Is that funny, Tak Gu?
You gotta add that at least to make her laugh.
Tak Gu, you're pretty cool.
Mi Sun seeks out the Geosung home to do what's best for her Tak Gu.
Tak Gu finally meets his father for the first time,
but oh my, what a stepmother!
Stop crying!
The bitter resentment of Tak Gu begins.
Don't let me hear you crying!
Why is that sort of kid my Hyung?
Get lost now because you're obnoxious,
you dirty bum!
Boy, that kid is cranky.
And then, Tak Gu and his mother become separated!
- Tak Gu! - Mother!
Then, 12 years later...
Looking for traces of his mother, he wanders Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, and Busan.
Then Tak Gu arrives at the Pal Bong Bakery. - All right kid, wanna die...
Please let me come inside.
There's someone I really have to meet, Ahjussi.
I have to meet him to find my mother.
What is your name.
It's Kim Tak Gu!
There, he runs into his destined rival, Ma Jun.
It's not Tak Gu because I'm good a ping pong, but
Tak symbol meaning high,
and Gu symbol meaning to save, that's why it's Tak Gu.
But why! Why has he appeared again? Why?!
Ma Jun's wrath for Tak Gu!
Dirty bum of a guy.
Oh dear!
That looks like it would hurt.
Did you really hit the mirror? -Yes.
Finally, Tak Gu and Ma Jun's destined baking showdown begins.
The competition begins with psychological sparks flying
Just a second!
Oh my, it's a real fire.
Tak Gu suffers all kinds of plots against him.
What I made wasn't bread.
[Tak Gu is victorious over all hardships and wins the recognition of Master Pal Bong]
It was the memory of him.
Chairman. -Have you been well?
The heart wrenching reunion with his father.
And Tak Gu spends happy moments with Yoo Kyung.
Let go!
What do you need? Money? Clothes?!
Let go!
Trying to take Yoo Kyung out of wrath and jealousy, Ma Jun speaks.
Be my woman.
Oh my goodness!
How much do you want?
In Sook opposes vehemently.
Mom!
She hits well.
She knows where to hit.
Ultimately to get revenge on the Geosung household,
Yoo Kyung marries Ma Jun.
It's been a long time.
The resilient persistent fated connection between the two.
Let go! -I can't do that!
Stop it now.
Chairman Gu Il Jung tries to stop the two from fighting,
and collapses.
What's the matter?!
Really, what's the matter?!
All my deeds and stock I'm entrusting to you,
so please, look after Geosung, Tak Gu.
Tak Gu accepts his father's request dutifully.
Finally...
If there is one thing only I can do in place of the Chairman,
it is to bake bread.
Ah, what a clever guy!
And that is probably the reason I'm here.
Along with the entrance into the Geosung household, is Tak Gu's dramatic reunion with his mother.
Is this really my son?
it is my Tak Gu.
Please don't ever separate now!
He was saying for us to always work together.
And finally, Ma Jun opens his heart to Tak Gu,
Let's go together.
I'm saying we're going to be travel companions to Hell!
Don't blame me!
We came on a report of an emergency.
I called them.
I'm going to be traveling for the time-being.
I'm now going to be at Pal Bong Bakery.
Hey Tak Gu!
After ending a long journey, Tak Gu returns to Pal Bong Bakery.
Now then, shall we try and make the world's happiest bread?
The Baker King, Kim Tak Gu, who never gave up hope...
Because of Tak Gu, we too have been very happy.
Thank you. We can see why Baker King, Kim Tak Gu was the people's drama just by watching the highlights.
Ultimately, it closed with a happy ending,
but there seems that one person might be discontented. In that last scene,
Jeon In Hwa seemed to be left cold and alone in the room...
without even Ju Weon to hold your hand.
[In solitude... ]
When I watched the episode where Eugene moved in as a daughter-in-law,
and softly smirked at her mother-in-law...
I started getting so mad, watching!
Didn't you feel rather vindicated and free?
It came too late! I wish it had started earlier.
The revenge came so late...
Mom suffered plenty during that time.
I say this because one day, she came to me
and said, "Let's just stop fighting now. "
Why did Mom have so many people she had to fight?
Looks like it was 1 against 8.
You know how your final choice was Ma Jun and not Tak Gu?
Why Eugene's heart could not help but be stolen...
that line of Ma Jun's.
Be my woman.
That was so cool. Can you do it again for us here?
Uh, well, it's so sudden...
And she's even right next to you.
You could be spouses.
It was said kind of rough then...
Then with a slightly softer feel this time.
- With a new feel. - Can you try?
Oh geez, really...
Yes, hold her hand, and...
You...
be my woman.
With that, I don't think anyone would.
Earlier, Lee Han Wi said he wanted to act out a melodrama.
Why don't you give it a try now with Jeon In Hwa?
Why don't you try right here and now?
- Are you giving me an opportunity? - You seemed to really want to,
So, we're giving you the opportunity.
In Sook,
be my woman.
I'm getting the emotion,
but it's not coming out right. I've got the feeling, but...
Then you suddenly think of Yoo Dong Geun?
[Lasting consequence?]
It's not what I expected.
Because she's got so much more experience.
And the rest of you, was there a line that you yourself thought was memorable?
Kim Tak Gu had so many lines.
I wonder if this might not have been the most memorable line.
When Tak Gu and his father met again,
he sheds tears, the father does,
and says, "It tastes good, Tak Gu. "
After he says this beautifully,
he wells up with emotion.
It really tastes good.
Let's ask the villain team too.
- What about you, Eugene? - For me, it wasn't one of my lines,
but there's a line from Seo In Sook that I remember.
Ma Jun, you!
Anyway, Ma Jun, you...
Ma Jun, you...
Ma Jun, you!
That's it. Every time she sees Ma Jun, she's get mad
and say "Ma Jun, you... " Can you do it once?
Ma Jun, you!
[Mother's here]
Ooh!
In our neighborhood,
the lone masterpiece line belonged to Miss Lee Young Ah.
And the line from Lee Young Ah?
- 1/3 of Lee Young Ah's lines was this... - 95 percent.
Tak Gu.
True, right?
There were so many feelings hidden in those words.
Tak Gu.! [Bright and cheery "Tak Gu"]
Tak Gu. [Worried "Tak Gu"]
Tak Gu. [Sad "Tak Gu"]
Tak Gu! [Startled "Tak Gu"]
Etc. etc.
I didn't have that many lines, but all those "Tak Gu" lines, it was easy to memorize.
You could have just played and took the day off before filming.
I play before the scene. [Brightens the mood on site. ]
And play while shooting the scene.
A 50 percent viewership rating...
That means half of the Korean people were watching the show.
As such, there were as many points of curiosity.
One question was "Was Kim Tak Gu a real person?"
No. Originally, the writer intended to write a story regarding
industry and trade during the Joseon era.
Ah yes?
But, realistically, it began to look too difficult.
So, because the writer really liked bread, it turned into a bread story.
So, it's simply because the writer liked bread... [No particular reason]
If he had liked liquor... it may have been a big problem.
Another thing our viewers were curious about was
did we really know how to bake bread.
They were often curious about that.
Before the drama started, we took classes in baking.
So, I'm telling you the fact that we do know how to bake bread,
and telling it rather boringly.
It was very boringly told.
Let me ask you, how did it actually taste when you tried the bread you made yourself?
I thought it was very tasty.
Ma Jun, you!
When the bread comes out, 3 to 4 pans come out.
Then, the staff would share it,
and they were very happy. And satisfied.
But, the staff couldn't possibly eat it, then badmouth it.
[Consider the sincerity?]
Si Yoon's wasn't so good.
Right?
Si Yoon would joke around and do weird things with the bread.
Tak Gu, what sorts of things did you put in the bread as you joked around.
It came out on the Internet before, I've made turtles and rabbits.
- I even made Tak Gu and Yoo Kyung. - Tak Gu and Yoo Kyung?
- With bread. - With bread?
The one thing I learned in trying to bake those
was that they all burned.
You know how breads have shapes. There's a reason for those shapes.
If you shape it any which way, they burn.
So, there's a reason behind those pretty shapes too.
The bread shapes come from research.
- Ah, you learned a good thing. - Yes.
- So there's a reason for those shapes. - Yes.
So if you make them into Tak Gu and Yoo Kyung, it burns.
Making Tak Gu and Yoo Kyung becomes a belly-swelling burn.
Yoon Si Yoon is funny too.
I read it in an article, that you had a really hard time because of Ju Weon.
In a situation like now, it's not hard at all.
Because we're sitting.
So then, just when you're standing?
- Ju Weon is rather tall, right? - Ah, yes.
Outside, you can use "hopes". The thing you stand on that gives you hope.
["Hopes" - One man's insoles. ]
Because you can't use them inside.
But strangely,
it would have been nice if they got along inside, but they always bicker.
Then, Ma Jun would always come right up to the eyes and talk.
Then, the height difference would be like this!
If you watch carefully, I'll be like this, and then my gaze moves up like this.
I don't want to hear or know about your personal situation.
I have to kind of match who I'm working with.
So there are lots of scenes where I have to stand with my legs open.
While it's hard for me also to stand like that,
it's got to be hard on the other person too, frankly.
- Because it's funny. - They have to look at it while they act.
Sometimes while he's standing like that, we have to embrace.
Then, in that position, we have to kiss too.
I think Tak Gu might not know this, but I hear they have "hopes" for socks too.
- Really? - Yes, I hear it's possible indoors too.
I guess hope is really something that just keeps getting bigger.
Eugene, you got hit quite a lot by Jeon In Hwa.
I saw your cheeks get pretty red.
If there's nothing you need me to do, I'll be going now.
Mom!
Mom, stop this! What are you doing?
[A handprint on the cheek!]
But honestly, it didn't hurt as much as it looked.
But it looked like she hit you hard.
I'm telling you, she knows how to hit. The impact...
So there's this... there are cases where there are no sound effects, but it hurts like hell.
And there are cases where it doesn't hurt too much, but the sound effects are immense.
When she hits me, I match the timing and slightly turn my head.
But in the case of our Jae Mu, he has no experience.
In his case, he truly got hit with 100 percent of the power.
[Sigh]
I didn't know before since this is the first time I've ever been slapped.
Of course, there would be no reason for you to have been slapped.
Of course, that was the first time he's ever been hit.
I thought, no way could it be a real slap,
but it was a real slap.
Truly, it was the first time ever in my acting career
that I had to hit someone so young.
I really didn't want to hit him that day.
So, I told him, Tak Gu, when I swing to hit you, match the timing and turn your head.
He said, okay, yes.
But, I was supposed to run out and hit him right away.
His height was exactly where my hand swung around.
He didn't avoid it, but stood tense, and it was a truly straight on shot.
I want to stop with an NG (No Go) right then, but then he'd have to be hit again.
So, we went to the end, but he was tearing.
For someone who felt so bad, you really hit hard.
A straight proper hit!
Stop crying!
[Huh?]
A child needs to be hit to be disciplined.
[Possessed by Seo In Sook's spirit?]
Honestly, it hurt.
I hurt too. Even right after I hit you...
Jae Mu, cut it out. You'll get hit again.
Honestly, how do you find her? Do you see her as a frightening sunbae*? (*More experienced senior)
She's got so much experience.
Actually, when I first met her, when I met her at the reading,
as I was picking up a pen for her, I was stunned.
- Because she was so pretty. - Because she was so pretty?
It kind of threw me off a little.
She's the prettiest of the Ahjumma I've seen.
[Cute revenge]
What was your first impression of Jung Mi Sun, who plays your mother?
She was so warm, she was like a real mother.
- So you're saying I'm not pretty. - No, you're pretty.
What about Jung Sung Mo Ahjussi?
He was just an ahjussi.
Hey, I bought you jjajangmyeon (noodles) and sweet 'n' sour pork!
I guess you don't remember.
He's good-looking.
- He bought you sweet 'n' sour. - Ah, yes, he bought me tasty food.
And then, he began to seem good-looking.
[Logic of the World]
As we've been talking, I get the feeling you became really close, working together for 4 months,
and that may have also contributed to the success of the drama.
So at this point, for the lead actors of the Baker King, Kim Tak Gu,
we'd like to spend some time getting to know their inner thoughts.
Precisely, You!
Yes, for Precisely You,
We asked our guests ahead of time, who is this or that?
That's right.
The face of the person who got the most votes will be shown on screen.
That's right.
We asked this first question.
You know when the filming gets hard, you need someone to lighten the mood.
So we asked, for Baker King, Kim Tak Gu, who was the mood maker?
Okay, show us the face!
Now then, it's spinning.
I'm sure everyone played a part, but...
[Jung Sung Mo, 4 votes!]
It was Jung Sung Mo!
Your face shows that you had no idea.
Why would they have chosen me?
I think it was because there was such a contrast to Han Seung Jae (his character).
On TV, he was just such a scary and villainous Han Seung Jae,
But on the set, Jung Sung Mo
was always so loose and like aaahh...
[Like this!]
He was very comfortable.
- Jeon In Hwa also picked Jung Sung Mo. - Yes.
He always made people feel comfortable,
and as Eugene just said, he was always "aaahh" kind of like some sloppy drunk.
[Suddenly a sloppy drunk?]
A sloppy drunk, a sloppy drunk.
- Well, not "aaahhh" like we said earlier... - Not to that degree.
He was worse.
This strange batman-like dance... what was that dance?
It wasn't a dance.
- Anyway, he'd do this really strange dance. - Maybe let's see some action.
[Then, we must see this... ]
It's because we're curious.
- Since everyone was always tense. - Yes, to relieve the tension...
So, we needed some tension relief,
and the staff was working so hard.
So occasionally, when they were working on setting the cameras,
I'd kind of do this sort of thing...
and this sort of dance.
At 2 or 3 in the morning, there was always some crisis.
- And we'd have to get over it somehow. - Yes.
It may have been those moments that Jung Sung Mo pulled out the moves, I think.
It was all out of concern.
At the Pal Bong Bakery, the mood maker was actually our Young Ah.
That's what I thought too.
Young Ah is pretty, peppy, reads palms...
[All-around mood maker!]
- Surprisingly, Young Ah picked Ju Weon. - True.
What's the reason?
Well, I just wanted to have him get even one extra scene.
What is she talking about?
[She wants you to appear a lot... ]
Take care of your own self.
Come all the way here, and why...
Si Yoon, I hear you do voice impersonations.
It's not really voice impersonation.
Ma Jun
puts on the same act of his child counterpart.
Ma Jun does a voice impersonation of his child actor?
- He's playing himself. - Ah yes.
It's not so much a voice impersonation, but more the expression...
First off, the actor that plays young Ma Jun has kind of these round eyes and kind of full lips.
It's my father, so it's my house,
It can never be your father or your home,
so get lost now.
So, with his eyes round, and his lips kind of like this...
What are you?
What are you, you bum? Get lost!
[It's the same!]
- If you nail the idiosyncrasies, anyone can do it. -Yes
- Can you do it? - Yeah, well...
Get lost.
Anyone can do it.
Then I'll give you the second question. The second question...
You know how when someone is really different than their image, you say it shatters or busts your image?
Of the actors here, the person who most shatters or busts their image...
who could it have been?
I'm curious about this one too.
Spin the faces!
The person who was most different from their image.
[Jung Sung Mo wins again!]
You're a 2-Crowned King.
I'm going nuts.
Isn't there a monetary prize?
None at all.
He's played a villain several times, so his image...
Well this was the first time I met him.
I thought he'd be a little scary, and a little hard to approach.
but his expression was always... like this, like this.
Always like this. Really bright, and fair
I am rather fair.
Something about him is...
Right now too, you're really busting your image.
Now you see, right?
Jung Mi Sun, you picked him too. The reason?
In Episode 3, there was a scene where I leave young Tak Gu at their home.
So, I needed to really concentrate on the emotion.
For my cut, I had my head bent down,
but close by Jeon Kwan Ryeol and Jung Sung Mo sunbaenims were chatting back and forth.
Then, Jeon Kwang Ryul Sunbaenim says, "Geez, what is that, Hyung?" and walks out.
I'd already gotten my cue and I had my head bent. I looked up and saw it then.
10 toes started to wiggle.
He was wearing toe socks.
I was supposed to cry,
but they were wiggling, and...
I couldn't let myself laugh in front of my esteemed sunbaenims and shoot a no-go.
So I held it in tightly. And then it was supposed to be 12 years later when we met again.
We met, but at that point, he was sitting there with his feet up.
He spread out his 10 toes and says,
Toe socks are really comfortable. You should try them too.
That side of him was so... He said, "You'll end up wearing them. "
You'll end up wearing them...
But, toe socks really are comfortable. Give them a try.
- And, they're cute. - They're cute!
How great that my toes can play freely?
Rather than tying them all together, give each of them some freedom.
- Are you wearing toe socks right now? - Not right now.
So you have to give your toes freedom too.
Don't restrict them.
For the next question, we'll narrow down the contestants.
- We have 4 women here, and they're all beauties. - Quite magnificent, yes.
Of them, without regarding age, who would be the prettiest?
But the important thing is "without regarding age. "
Won't you release your fists?
Now then, let's see the result. Spin the faces!
It is after all, Jeon In Hwa.
- Wow, Jeon In Hwa gets 7 votes. - Yes.
- Aside from yourself, everyone picked you. - Really?
It's probably just because I'm their sunbae and they were afraid of the consequences.
In case we got hit.
In case they got hit.
I think that's the case, yes.
It's something to be happy about, sure.
I felt like, ah, I really should take care of myself.
"Ah, you can be that beautiful at that age" is what I thought to myself.
Well, this has suddenly become the Jeon In Hwa special.
Let me ask you a final question.
Many people have said you're the prettiest.
- Do you yourself agree? - Oh, it's hot.
Well, I think that they are looking at me, considering my age,
and that's why they are saying such nice things.
I just like myself now at this age.
You yourself must agree for this question to end.
At this point, we can't ask her again,
but looking at various circumstance, I think that's the case.
She seems to be saying, "You call that a question?" Don't you think?
- You're truly beautiful. - Yes.
This is a question where only the men are the contestants.
Without regarding age, who would be the male that you'd want to date at least once.
This question is also without regarding age. Jung Sung Mo, don't worry.
Oh Jae Mu could be picked as well, since age isn't a consideration.
Jae Mu looks like he might be hoping ever so slightly.
Spin it!
[Jae Mu wins!]
- Wow it's Mister Jae Mu. - Look, he's sincerely happy.
Altogether 4 votes.
- They all tossed aside Yoon Si Yoon and Gu Ma Jun. - Yes.
Let's here from the women, Jung Mi Sun and Lee Young Ah.
In anticipation of 10 years from now.
You think he'll turn out like Yoo Seung Ho?
[We hope you grow up handsomely... ]
For me too, since he's the freshest here...
Freshest?
I didn't see you that way, Jung Mi Sun, wow what an image buster.
You've been selected like this, you can't just stay silent.
Right, you're in a good mood too. Why don't you do a victory ceremony dance?
You said you're a dancer.
Shall we give you some music?
- Yes, Lucifer. - Lucifer?
[SHINee, Lucifer]
[He's going for it, young Tak Gu... ]
[Oh - excellent!]
[Thief!]
[Intensity!]
[Almost Pro level!]
[Movements that aren't off even by an inch]
[Fresh AND he can dance!]
[Young Tak Gu's magical powers... ]
[And sorcery... ]
[A fantastical performance!]
He really dances well!
You're truly going to become an all-around entertainer.
So our Oh Jae Mu got first place. However, as regretful as it may be,
- in second place was Ju Weon. - Ah, Ju Weon.
-3 votes. - How do you feel?
I'm grateful that I got votes.
And how do you feel about losing to Jae Mu?
I'm thinking I need to become fresher
And do a little Lucifer too, like this...
2nd place Ju Weon was originally a musical theater performer.
I hear you are an extraordinary singer.
Well having been in the musical performance field...
I did study singing a bit, yes.
Ah, so you're acknowledging that you're a good singer.
- We can't miss hearing you sing. - Why don't you give us a sampling.
One exhausting day passes
and under the moonlight, two people,
one single shadow.
If you close your eyes
a faint happiness that seems within your grasp
is still over there.
Even though your heart that wears so many scars casts a shade
even on your dreams,
remember...
someone who loves you till it hurts
is right beside you. [He sings better than me... ]
Even if at times, this road
only looks long,
even if tears fall on your lonesome heart,
until everything becomes a memory,
I hope the two of us
can become a resting place to each other.
[Bashful first rate ardent singing!]
I'm shocked.
Anyhow...
our Kim Tak Gu didn't get one vote.
[Gloom]
What could be the reason?
- I don't know... - He was too busy.
It must have been.
- Si Yoon has so many appealing qualities... - Yes, he does.
He's appealing, but wouldn't want to date him, that sort of thing?
[Killing Tak Gu twice!]
- He has so many female fans... - Yes.
For the female fans that are watching TV today,
how about that bright smile after eating bread? Can we see that?
- A bright smile after eating bread? - Yes.
[Somehow bright, but the feeling... ]
He's really tired these days.
It's just not coming out right, huh?
- Since I don't have a script. - Right.
It should have said chew repeatedly.
[Actually, he does have artistic talent!]
We are currently with the Baker King, Kim Tak Gu family for a Chuseok (harvest festival) special.
A 50 percent viewership may be easy to say, but it happens maybe every 10 years.
You must all have expectations for the end of the year awards.
Jeon In Hwa, you have the most expectant expression.
[Oh my. ]
- You've been quite the mischief maker. - Just don't hit me.
[Don't transform into the villainess. ]
- Watching the show, I'm thinking all of you will be there. - Right?
Yoon Si Yoon, what award would you like to win especially?
I'd appreciate any award given to me.
Even best actress.
[Anything, anything... ]
- As a woman... - Yes, I'm prepared to live as a woman.
You're funny.
- So then now, we've prepared a mini awards show. - Yes.
Baker King, Kim Tak Gu Best Scene award.
It's been divided into kiss scene, teary scene, angry scene, and romance scene.
Normally, it would be selected by judges or the audience,
but today, the cast has voted amongst themselves directly.
So as you look at the scene, when the 2 contestants are revealed,
just vote for the scene you like.
Then, what will you give the first place winners?
We've prepared the actual merchandise in front of us for suspicious minds.
They are hanu (top grade Korean beef) sets.
If you win twice, we give you two.
If you win three times, we can even give you three.
In that case, I better not MC, but be in the vote.
Couldn't I participate in the voting?
You already have some here.
There are many categories, kiss, tears, anger, romance. Jeon In Hwa, is there a category you want to win?
- Anger. - Anger.
Yoon Si Yoon must be having a hard time deciding.
Which do you want the most?
- Kiss. - Kiss.
So bashful.
So you have confidence in the kiss.
I do everything diligently.
Ma Jun probably also has good reason to believe he's got a chance in the kiss category.
I think I had more kiss scenes than Tak Gu Hyung.
What's the category you'd like to beat Tak Gu in particularly?
Kiss.
[I can't lose the kiss scene award. ]
The sparks are flying already.
Let's take a look at our potential kiss scene king.
Why are you doing this.
Ah, Jeon Kwang Ryul and Jung Mi Sun.
This is big trouble, President.
Because... you're pretty.
Even if I'm pretty, you shouldn't do this, President!
Oh, beautiful.
Now then, let's see the contestants for kiss scene king. First contestant, Kim Tak Gu!
Ah, of course, Yoon Si Yoon.
In my life without my mother,
the one reason I go on living
is you.
Tak Gu!
Oh, and he turns back...
Yoo Kyung and Tak Gu's heartbreaking parting kiss.
[The watching Ma Jun]
Ma Jun, do you have something to say?
His eyes look like they're going to fall out.
She's not a woman that can be satisfied with a guy like you.
And now for Ma Jun's counterattack!
Oh my, oh dear, w-what... oh!
Oh, this isn't the time!
Oh, he's rough.
However, the downside of the surprise kiss...
is that this could happen!
- Let's hear the contestants' feelings. - I want to win.
[You can't. ]
Then, the name of the kiss king?
[We'll reveal the results shortly. ]
As expected the contestants for best kiss scene are Yoon Si Yoon and Ju Weon.
How about it, Yoon Si Yoon? Do you think you can win?
Looking at Ma Jun's kiss, I'm trembling. Looked pretty impressive.
- Ah really? - Yes.
I kind of feel like the neighborhood punching bag.
[Holds record of most kisses. ]
Ju Weon, what do you think?
I think Tak Gu Hyung will win.
Because it was a kiss scene between 2 people who love each other. I'm just doing it on my own.
[A bitter aftertaste... ]
Ju Weon's kiss, people are looking at and going tsk tsk tsk...
- But you never know. - Right, shall we take the vote?
Press one for Tak Gu and two for Ju Weon.
Who could be the kiss king? Please press a button.
[Kim Tak Gu's parting kiss?]
Gu Ma Jun's surprise kiss?
[The vote results?]
Shall we look at the result?
[Who?]
[Gu Ma Jun's surprise kiss]
It's not Tak Gu, but Ma Jun!
Totally overthrowing our prediction!
- I did pick Ju Weon, but... - Yes, Young Ah.
It was because the statement before the vote made me feel sorry for him.
[tsk tsk tsk... ]
- Actually, I voted for Ju Weon too. - Yes?
For us men, it's something we've dreamed of.
It's a kiss that you think, "I'd like to experience that once. "
We think that way, so without even realizing what I was doing...
Rationally, it's number one, but my hand just pressed number two.
- So then, as promised, let me present a hanu set. - Ah, congratulations.
I did it with him, don't I get half?
Ah congratulations
- Eugene, who did you vote for? - Me? I voted number 2.
Ma Jun. The reason is that I've never actually experienced a surprise kiss.
I totally thought there was no way, no matter how strong the man, that you couldn't get out of a kiss.
- But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't. - Sure it wasn't because you didn't want to?
On to the next category. The scenes you absolutely couldn't take out.
From the inexperience romance of the young to the steamy romance of the older generation,
the love stories were quite a major theme, right?
They were. Personally, I was so upset that Yoo Kyung dumped Tak Gu.
I heard that a lot. And I got a lot of flack for it, too.
"Why'd you dump him?" Even from my closest friends.
"You shouldn't do that. "
Those friends are not actually your close friends, then.
Not true friends, anyway.
The romance king, let's see some scenes...
[Romance King Category]
[The steely look in the eyes. ]
[The smooth move of the hands]
Ah, there was a scene like this.
Oh my, it's a move he's used a lot.
[Playful romance]
What are you doing? What do you think you're doing, eh?!
On the other hand, among the older set, a steamy romance.
Oh my, President, it's been so long.
However, note! Make sure the kids are asleep first!
Now then let's look at the romance king contestants!
Whose song is this?
Edith Piaf.
Pipe.
It's Piaf, Tak Gu!
It's my favorite song.
[Yoo Kyung gets dragged to the police station]
For Yoo Kyung trapped in jail, Tak Gu's choice...
Yoo Kyung, for you, it's Pipe.
Yoo Kyung and Tak Gu's taxi serenade.
Unlike the heartrending romance of the young...
Stay with me.
[Fatal seduction]
Fatal?
The deep romance of the older set.
Jeon In Hwa, Eugene says she wants to win!
You dare?
Dream on.
Then the romance queen is who?
Now then, this category is no easy one, either. Deep rooted enemies meet as candidates.
Then, who could the romance queen be? Please press your button.
Eugene's Taxi Serenade?
Jeon In Hwa's dangerous love?
And the choice is?
[Jeon In Hwa's dangerous love]
Dangerous romance.
- Jeon In Hwa is the romance queen. Congratulations. - This is very strange.
- Let me give you a hanu set. - I voted for Eugene.
You might not have thought we really were, but we're really giving you this Chuseok gift.
Jeon In Hwa, you've never played a role before that seduces a man.
- Compared to other scenes, was it difficult? - Yes, it was difficult.
I was sweating. I was sweating all over.
In that scene, I'm supposed to drink wine, then embrace him.
- But I drank one glass of wine... - Oh, you really drank it.
Well whenever I drink, my face turns bright red.
So after I had a glass, my face got so red, we had to wait till it cleared a little.
But Sunbaenim helped me a lot.
I see that even the mighty Jeon In Hwa feels a little pressure in some scenes.
Well, I think I can do even better next time.
[Because she's the romance queen!]
Now, we'll go onto something a little rougher.
In Baker King, Kim Tak Gu, the villains, this neighborhood here,
had a strong presence, and even the viewers probably felt some anger while watching.
Let's see some clips for the wrath scene king.
Baker King, Kim Tak Gu's king of wrath is?
Where is my mother?
If only, I'd ran just a little faster,
if only I'd caught your mother just a little sooner,
No!
The unbelievable reality.
My mother is alive! She's waiting! Tell me that's so!
Say it, you bastard!
In Suk and Seung Jae's adulterous spot.
You're my man. And, you're my son's father.
You've been caught by your mother-in-law!
With this, it is the end between you and I.
I don't even want to see your face, so move out of my way!
Didn't you tell me to bear one?
Oh my my.
We're totally engrossed in the screen.
You told me to bear one.
You pushed and pushed and treated me like a criminal.
You didn't even let me breathe!
So I bore that son, so what in the world is the problem, what?!
Then, the king of wrath is... who?
The announcer is pretty funny.
The king of wrath is!
Again, enemies have met as candidates.
- Is it Yoon Si Yoon or Jeon In Hwa? - Now then, please press your buttons.
[Tak Gu's wrath?]
[In Suk's wrath?]
It's not an easy choice, right?
Tak Gu's wrath.
Yoon Si Yoon takes the crown.
Let's get him a hanu set. Congratulations.
You've been looking at these hanu sets the whole time. Congratulations.
I really was looking at them the whole time.
I picked the right winners for all 3. Don't I win anything?
You have to be one of the contestants.
Ah, really. If I knew it was going to be like this, I should have participated.
I'm not even going to get paid for my time.
- Just ask for some later. - Yes, I will.
Let's hear your thoughts on winning.
Well, when you scream and cry, you get this gnawing sense of hunger.
I'm very happy to fulfill the hunger from back then now.
Before this Jae Mu whispered in my ear,
Hyung, if you win, you have to give me some, okay?
I didn't know I'd win so I gladly agreed.
Not knowing you'd win.
But I'll share half.
Aigoo, Jae Mu.
Don't you guys have any respect for your elders?
[One hungry elder]
Go ahead and share it, yes, go ahead.
If that sort of scene is an NG (no go), then isn't it hard to get that feeling again?
Yes. And in that scene, you had to really focus on the feelings toward your mother.
It wasn't really working for me, but
- Park Sung Woong Sunbaenim... - The Windmill. (tattoo)
Yes the Windmill, Park Sung Woong Sunbaenim
kept trying to help me by continuing to recite what a mother would say and feel.
He kept saying, Tak Gu, I love you, I love you...
But the longer he did it, the more his voice started mimicking a mother's voice
That impressive man was like...
Tak Gu, Tak Gu...
And it got harder and harder to maintain the emotional state.
And I couldn't tell him, "It's okay, no thanks. "
Later, you should have told him, "Hyung, can't you just be quiet?"
But that really helped with the anger part.
For me personally, what made the biggest impression on me
weren't the kisses or the anger, but the teary scenes.
Actually, I cried along with them.
Yes, many people cried with them.
Especially when Kim Tak Gu cried, it felt like my little brother was crying.
I too cried my eyes out when Master Pal Bong died, but it wasn't really noticed.
Wait, when did you cry?
When Master Pal Bong died. I was just behind the portrait.
I was crying my eyes out.
[Someone is crying their eyes out] Everyone pull yourselves together.
[This person is Lee Han Wi]
Anyhow, one of the biggest factors that affected the increasing number of Kim Tak Gu viewers,
the teary scenes. Let's take a look.
Let's see who the first contestant is for teary scene king.
[Father and son reunited after 14 years]
Ah, the scene where Tak Gu meets his father.
[Eating the bread his son made]
- Ah he's moved by the taste. - It's good.
There's something on your lip, sir.
It's really good.
Tak Gu.
[Father and Son]
I'm sorry, Tak Gu.
Ah, Tak Gu sheds tears too.
My son.
My son, Tak Gu.
[Second contestant, Mom Mi Sun]
It's really my son.
[Searching for each other for 14 years]
It is my Tak Gu.
Many people cried at this scene.
Did you live well?
[Mother and Son]
You didn't miss meals?
And didn't lose your spirit?
I'm proud of you.
Mother.
Tak Gu.
Then is the king of tears Mom or Dad? Who is it?
- A mother's tears and a father's tears. - Jung Mi Sun, how do you feel?
I'm just glad to have the chance to have hope for the hanu.
- What keeps nagging at me is this curiosity... - Yes?
If Jeon Kwang Ryul wins,
if by chance Jeon Kwang Ryul wins, what happens to this hanu?
- I think he might win. - You're wondering if you can accept in his place.
- Yes, but that's not the only reason. - We'll ship it to his home.
Why send it? I'm already here.
That has an expiration date, you know. It will go bad.
We'll have it delivered quick service.
It has to go into a refrigerator now. You're just not getting it, how frustrating.
If Kang Ryul really wins, we'll post it to his house.
So, who will our guests choose as the king of tears? Please press your buttons.
It's evenly matched here.
[Mother's tears]
Jung Mi Sun, congratulations. You're acting was really great.
This time, why don't you present the hanu to her directly?
You've been so touchy about the hanu.
I got all 4 of them right. Feeling like this, how can I award the prize...
Congratulations.
I remember that scene. But not just me, I think the whole country and all families were in a pool of tears.
Well, speaking as a member of the drama cast,
I feel every scene was a gem and a notable one, don't you think?
Yes, that's true.
In the spirit of giving the award to everyone, let�s give a big round of applause.
Ah yes. You all did a great job!
Now then, as our guests on this Kim Tak Gu Special,
can you share your thoughts with us?
It's been a while, so it's made me really happy to see everyone.
So, are you going to get some of that hanu?
- Yes, halfsies. - Halfsies.
You're going to make sure you get half.
A very lighthearted child.
We've received a lot of love, and I feel this spot here today
gives us an opportunity to say thank you very very much.
So personally, I feel very warmed and happy to be here.
It makes me think we should have tried to make people even happier.
The opportunity to act with such great sunbaes and hoobaes
over the last 3 to 4 months has truly made me happy.
I keep wondering where I'm going to go and play when I wake up tomorrow.
I feel like it was a really happy time, as though we were all really playing. Thank you so much.
Oh, it looks like tears could be brimming in those eyes as you speak.
That just shows how attached you felt.
[During this year's hot summer,]
[refreshing even our hearts,]
[moving drama, Baker King Kim Tak Gu]
I think it will be a time that I will never forget.
The production also made me aware
that even villains can receive so much love.
I've felt very sad tonight, but happy too.
Thank you.
I'll remember Baker King Kim Tak Gu for a long time. Everyone, thank you.
[We thank all the viewers who have given Kim Tak Gu, Baker King their love]
From the International Association of Professional Investigators Asia-Pacific Branch,
I'm Korea's Director Ji Woo.
That's the kind of bastard he is. He's extremely fast.
There's no way to shake him.
As long as you make a deposit.
Like a hyena in heat, should I say?
[The fatal client who comes to see the private investigator!]
Who could be the woman that disappeared from the boat?
They killed my grandparents, even my adoptive parents.
Now, it's my turn.
There's a case you buried, right? The Las Vegas Asian couple murder case.
I'm not a murderer.
I'm Officer Do from Foreign Affairs Department Team 3.
Just trust me!
[Fugitive, Plan B]
