(A tooth for a tooth, a con for a con.)
(Con people until the end and collect it all.)
(This team packs a punch for the suffering public with no hope.)
The exhilarating and refreshing fraud-filled drama in question...
is Squad 38.
We're from City Hall.
Is Mr Cho Bong Gi here?
I don't have a penny!
I won't pay!
The drama begins with a montage of...
the tax collectors working hard to make people...
pay their taxes.
(The drama begins with a story of tax collectors at work.)
Check the couch.
This man seems timid, but also diligent and righteous.
He's Baek Sung Il, the chief of Taxation Office Division Three.
Mr Ma Jin Seok?
Yes.
We're from Seowon City Hall's Taxation Office.
Due to tax delinquency, we'll be searching your house.
So please cooperate.
Isn't it illegal to do this after dusk?
What's good is good.
Let's make up.
Yes, do that.
(Jin Seok passes Sung Il a car key.)
Take this and be a good father.
Okay?
He doesn't fall for the thick-faced defaulter's temptation.
Instead, he works hard to uphold...
the values he believes in.
Will this be enough to have that dry-cleaned?
Have fun.
I should go.
Sung Il, wait.
But then...
How much tax are we trying to collect this year?
182.5 million dollars.
The world just refuses to give this man a break.
We will...
- I'll work hard. - You should.
I hate that man.
Then one day, a young man appears.
How much does Ma Jin Seok owe?
Thanks for the allowance.
He is...
a con artist who just took Sung Il's savings of 5,000 dollars.
Meet Yang Jung Do.
(Genius con artist Yang Jung Do)
Just lock him up.
- Lock him up. - Okay.
Wait, wait. How will you make him pay the six million?
Listen. Everything's in his family's name.
Just a moment. Please.
(He makes Sung Il an offer.)
Let me help, and I'll get you the money in no time.
Can you do what you said?
All I need to do is get you the money, right?
To make people with huge amounts of back taxes pay up,
a public officer joins forces with a con artist.
Humans speak...
The two team up with mentor and financier, Noh Bang Sil,
Jang Hak Joo, a dull but quick-witted burner phone expert,
the oddball genius hacker, Jung Ja Wang,
and the beautiful and smart gold-digger, Jo Mi Joo.
They make a dream team with these professional con artists.
Sorry I'm late.
With them,
it's eye for an eye, con for a con.
The team takes money from people who gained...
their riches illegally and refuse to pay taxes.
They get revenge for those who feel despondent...
about abiding by the law.
What should I do?
I personally loved the song choice.
You were born rich...
and lived well thinking as if that was a right.
From now on,
act like a human being and do your duty as well.
(Act human and do your duty.)
The biggest reason the viewers loved Squad 38...
so much was the fact that...
the drama took a social issue we can relate to...
and helped the viewers relieve some of the stress...
through a plot that used criminals to make citizens pay up.
- What did you think? - I loved it.
The cons and techniques that appeared in the drama...
were taken from actual cons that appeared on the news.
It's a reminder that...
cons are rampant.
I paid one large bill for it.
Squad 38 is a pioneer in a way...
because it was filmed to seem more like a movie.
Shall we watch...
the scenes that the viewers and actors picked...
as their favourites?
(The Best Scenes)
Squad 38 was fun to watch, of course,
but it was fun to film, as well.
Despite the tight schedule, the actors...
never had a long face.
We asked what their favourite scenes were.
(The actors' favourite scenes)
For, me it's the beginning of the first episode.
Sung Il, my character,
runs all over the place desperately looking for something.
Then he finds Min Sik dying in a car,
and he smashes the window.
Then our opening title goes up.
It got people curious.
It shows that Sung Il was in a certain predicament,
but he kept all the angst tightly bottled up...
and becomes this timid man.
I liked how the drama started everything off.
(Filming episode 1)
As critical as this scene from the first episode seemed,
Dong Seok suffered in silence when he filmed it.
Whether it's a drama or a movie, most scenes last...
a minute or two.
How many hours have I been running?
We aren't even done yet.
We can't get it all done today.
Han Jeong Hoon, the scriptwriter, knows I have bad knees.
We worked on "Bad Guys" together.
He said he wouldn't make me run much.
But then...
now, I'm running all over the place.
It can't be helped.
I have to run.
Why you...
Despite his bad knees,
In order to create the best possible take,
Dong Seok ran, ran and ran some more.
I should have let him finish the jjajangmyeon.
I feel sorry for him now.
Sorry about that.
You know I love you, right?
Come this way. This way.
The silver car just turned a corner.
(Dong Seok's second choice)
Oh, dear.
(It's the car chase that's fit for a movie scene.)
In episode two,
there's a car chase.
We used a lot of cameras and a drone.
The crew planned it carefully,
and we shot it over three weeks.
The actual filming was done in 3 or 4 days,
but we planned it carefully and blocked off a huge junction.
That scene was very memorable.
There he is!
Around 100 cars were used for the chase scene.
To intensify the experience,
the scene was shot over four days...
using equipment usually reserved for movie shoots.
Isn't that cool?
Plate number 5162.
What's he doing?
Step on the brakes!
It's like a scene...
from a blockbuster movie.
In a drama...
It's something very rare for a Korean drama.
It's so intense and...
the scale is huge.
You have to keep in mind that it's manual.
- This car? - Yes.
Don't act like it's an automatic.
Hold the wheel...
- It's too far. - Switch gears.
To make it more believable, In Guk did the stunts himself.
(In Guk drove the cars himself.)
(What was his favourite scene?)
There are so many.
(Seo In Guk played Yang Jung Do.)
There's a part where I pretended to be Cho Hee Joon.
I gave a speech in a dialect.
(His character was in charge of a pyramid scheme.)
- Be rich! - Be rich!
That line came out...
all of a sudden.
While the crowd was cheering,
I wanted to add a little extra to the scene.
It's embarrassing to call that an ad-lib or improvisation...
compared to many other things.
Thankfully, our director and scriptwriter were very open-minded.
I think it came out naturally from that mindset.
What should I do, then?
Well...
It was just a prank call.
Actor Seo In Guk's acting evolved every episode.
His unique way of portraying a sly character...
received high praises from the viewers.
Don't you think so? You know what we do.
I'm not scared at all.
You can't keep showing up here without giving me a heads-up, okay?
- Why not? - You just can't come in here.
Then am I supposed to wait until you're done for the day?
- Turn around and... - Great work, everyone!
- Weren't we like Tom and Jerry? - It was funny.
"Then am I supposed to wait until you're done?"
That line was funny.
In portraying Yang Jung Do, I also had to embody...
a number of different quirky personas.
But they all start from Yang Jung Do.
The starting point was how Yang Jung Do would feel.
I thought about how he would be feeling...
in that exact same situation.
Jung Do's ill-tempered and snappy side...
was emphasised when his alias was Kim Sang Pil.
You shouldn't have come here if you wanted a guarantee.
If that's what you want, just save money in your bank account.
You're obviously here because you want to make big money...
with only just a small amount. Are you...
And... How should I say this? I wanted to show Jung Do...
overreacting intentionally...
when he was going by the name of Cho Hee Joon.
Let's aim for one billion dollars.
It sounds better, too.
A billion sounds much better than 100,000 dollars.
That's how I approached playing those personas.
They all stem from Jung Do,
so I didn't have to struggle too much to portray them.
There was obviously a reason why his acting was so amazing.
The bromance Ma Dong Seok and Seo In Guk...
showed us through this drama was more impressive than romance.
This feels nice.
Both actors picked the same scene as one of...
- the most memorable scenes. - Deal.
Detective!
- We made up. - Yes.
To me, the most memorable scene...
was the one where we fought at a children's playground.
- Hey, listen to me. - This scene...
(Jung Do and Sung Il's fighting scene from Episode 12)
- It made all viewers laugh so much. - Come here.
(It looked so realistic.)
Let go. Let go of me!
- I said, let go. - Goodness gracious!
- They look so serious. - You jerk.
On the script, it was originally described just as an insert.
It said, "They fight each other."
"They fight fiercely even though they're both terrible at fighting."
But the director and I as well as Dong Seok...
had so much fun with trying to make the fight...
look as realistic as possible while shooting that scene.
Gosh, this little...
(At the shoot for the fighting scene)
- You jerk. Goodness. - Hold on.
- Let's try it again. - We'll do it again.
- When you work hard, it pays off. - Come here.
- Calm down. - Come here. Let's do this again.
- I'll knock you over first. - What?
Come here. Let's do this.
You scum.
They don't seem afraid of getting hurt.
Stay like that for a few seconds. Hang on right there.
We wanted to make it look like...
a fight between two men who are like your next-door neighbours.
- Cue! Let's go! - You rat.
Ouch, my nipple. My nipple!
Gosh, my nipple.
You little...
Just a second.
My trousers ripped, so I had to change into new ones.
My entire body was covered with sand after filming that scene.
I even got sand in my underwear, but I had to continue...
filming other scenes for several hours after that.
All of their hard work gave birth to this amazing scene.
Hey, go...
and pick up a bottle of water. Hurry up.
- All right, that was good. - Okay!
Shooting that scene was as challenging as...
filming the scenes in "Train to Busan" where I fight with zombies,
so it was very memorable to me.
Yes. If you do that, it should work.
Dong Seok is a hard-working actor who diligently studies...
and makes continuous efforts for each and every scene.
- I call him Sung Il, though. - Right, so I'm thinking...
that this might be better.
- You're surprised now. - Yes.
"Baek Sung Il? Hey."
- Something like this. - I see.
I was able to learn why other actors...
love working with Dong Seok so much.
While shooting scenes with him, I could feel...
how considerate he was towards me.
I really enjoyed working with him.
It took us over three months to film all 16 episodes.
I think it took about 4 to 5 months in total.
I was thoroughly happy during the entire time.
Can you not grab me too tightly?
I can't do it. I can't push you like this.
Don't hold her so tightly.
I'll walk like this, and you'll try to stop me.
Then when I get your hand off of me...
I'm mad at her, but I become more furious about getting...
- my hair grabbed. - Right, you're angry at her...
because she grabbed you by your hair.
In Guk always tries his best to make sure that his acting is flawless.
He's also passionate about helping and advising his co-stars.
I think it'll work.
He's especially helpful towards actresses.
I was just kidding. Sorry, In Guk.
If he does that, it won't work at all.
In addition, he always...
makes other actors and the crew members smile on sets...
with his silly, cutesy acts.
No, why are you doing this to me?
- It's double extra large. - No!
I want a beauty mark right here.
(Whose drawing is this?)
I can't draw women, though.
- Try drawing Mi Joo. - I can't draw girls at all.
- Why is that? - Because I've never done it.
(He's too shy to draw his female co-stars.)
I must say that In Guk...
is such a nice person.
Everyone likes him, and I'm very fond of him, as well.
I think of him as my little brother.
He's very cute.
He's also super talented and smart.
In Guk is... I don't know if it's right to describe him this way,
but I can't think of any other words right now. He's very lovely.
What you're watching now is Dong Seok...
making fun of In Guk who has to...
work until late and arrive at the shoot super early the next day.
(What time will In Guk get to leave the shoot?)
- What time will I leave? - 3am.
I'm dead.
You'll get home around 4:30am.
(You'll get home around 4:30am.)
You should go to bed right away.
He's a very talented actor.
He's also...
a very honest and funny guy...
who is down to earth.
Whether it's as a friend or as an actor,
I'd like to give him 10 out of 10.
I trust that their friendship...
is what enabled them to have such an impressive bond.
The amazing chemistry between the two actors...
who encouraged and supported each other throughout the drama...
dissolved right into their characters...
and infused the drama with many scenes that showcase their bromance.
Did you bother someone whom you shouldn't have?
This is one of my favourite scenes.
Jung Do, what about this one?
You look like a wilted leaf.
- I like this. - Have you lost your mind?
Now we're talking.
Hello, I'm Martin Kim. It's nice to meet you.
- Good! - Okay!
(The Martin Kim persona has been completed.)
- Okay. - You're really good at this now.
Well, that was...
Hey, Ma Jin Seok.
Did you just say "Hey"?
You've been scammed.
All the twists and turns in the plot of Squad 38...
made the viewers squeal in astonishment and gratification.
- Help me, please. - This was definitely...
the most gratifying scene.
Please? You can't do this to me.
(It was so thrilling and gratifying.)
Well...
I went through hoops to save that money. I'm serious.
- Hey, seriously! - The scene where Ma Jin Seok...
finds out that he's been scammed was the most memorable to me.
Before that scene,
it looked like the fraud could fail.
That was the very first scene where it became evident...
that their plan succeeded,
so I found that scene very gratifying.
Their acting was excellent, too.
I was very impressed by their acting.
I'm not done, so sit down and listen.
What?
Sit down, you jerk!
He never yelled before this scene.
Ma Jin Seok, listen to me carefully.
He's about to utter the famous line.
Local tax of 520,000 dollars.
National tax of 5.25 million dollars.
The total sum of your back taxes, 5.77 million dollars,
has been paid in full.
This is my favourite line.
"It has been paid in full."
Our drama was full of twists.
Especially,
the first victim,
although he was too mean to be a victim,
Ma Jin Seok goes down to his knees.
That scene is my favourite.
It was very funny when we were shooting that scene.
We teased him a lot.
You're going to fall victim to fraud today.
Yes, I am, but I'm still happy.
Do you see his face?
He's so handsome.
He's very handsome in real life.
His real name is Oh Dae Hwan.
He splashed it on my face.
I'm sorry.
(How does Oh Dae Hwan feel?)
He's sometimes even cute.
I thought people would hate me after this drama.
Our director told me in the beginning that,
after this drama,
I'd have to cover my face on the street.
But the viewers loved me.
I'm so happy.
- You're just pretending. - No.
To make the drama more realistic,
our scriptwriter...
tried to accurately depict defaulters' behaviours...
by interviewing taxation officers for three months,
who have been of great help.
(We thank the taxation officers of Seoul for their help.)
- Stay quiet. - Don't do anything.
Fine.
(Defaulters' behaviours were depicted realistically.)
All the scenes I shot...
with Dong Seok were memorable.
Get off of me!
(The taxation officers are struggling.)
- Get off of me! - Cut!
Cut.
We don't have to act too hard.
(Soo Young)
We're actually exhausted.
Wait. If you do it like this, you might break my arm.
I'll do this.
- All right. - Don't pull this arm.
Take your hands off!
Something like that?
Take your hands off!
She wants to do something like that,
- but her character is too serious. - It's too serious.
We're from the city. Please move along.
Just so you know, she's 12 years younger than me.
I was actually told that,
after a while on the squad,
I was going to stab them in the back.
So...
I was supposed to be a villain.
That's why I was attracted to my role.
In the end, it was decided that Sung Hee should be righteous.
Still, my role influenced me a lot.
I wasn't really interested...
in politics or government affairs before.
After playing Sung Hee, I became very interested.
Well...
It's a shame...
that I didn't get to play a villain,
but...
it was a meaningful experience for me.
How old are you? Why are you so rude to me?
Show me your ID card.
Here, you idiot.
Throw it in his face.
How should I do it?
- Throw it. - Like this?
Do you have a softer wallet?
Although it was physically very exhausting,
we all had fun while shooting...
because there were so many funny scenes.
Actors, actresses and the staff all laughed a lot.
That brightened up the atmosphere a lot.
- Hey. - What?
- Chief. - How old are you?
- Action. - Show me your ID card.
Bring your ID card.
- You jerk. - Calm down.
How brave he is! He doesn't know how strong Dong Seok is.
(They're immersed in their acting.)
Get off me!
You jerk!
(Unfortunately, his glasses slipped.)
(Because of the glasses, everyone bursts into laughter.)
We couldn't stop laughing while shooting.
That's hilarious.
What should we do?
- Let's go. - Take it out.
- Let's start. - Ready.
Cue.
(This scene has no lines for a long time.)
It seems like...
(He's ad-libbing.)
we're the only ones who didn't behave themselves today.
(We're the only ones who didn't behave themselves today.)
- Why? - I'm just kidding.
(The scene is too long.)
What?
- Cut. - Okay.
It was cut off suddenly.
- It was a new kind of ad-lib. - You're right.
- Did he just make it up? - He did.
Also,
Baek Sung Il starts to learn...
fraud techniques from Yang Jung Do...
such as voice phishing...
and threatening someone after bumping into his car...
on purpose.
(I liked the scenes where I learned fraud techniques.)
The viewers seemed to find those scenes funny.
Action.
I'm calling from a bank.
Our bank is in danger.
You should withdraw all your money...
and send it to me.
It's okay.
Also...
(He's making up lines.)
I'm keeping your son.
What are you going to do? I have your son.
Are you with him right now?
I must have dialled the wrong number.
Hello, I called you from Omega Bank a while ago.
That was wrong.
I'm calling from Capital One.
Have you heard of low-interest short-term loans?
That's right.
(He continues ad-libbing.)
Do you need money?
So do I.
(Do you need money? So do I.)
That was hilarious.
- What's up? - What's up?
What's up?
- Where are your name? - What...
(He's speaking broken English.)
"Where are your name?"
I'm good at English, right?
- I speak Queen's English. - Queen's English?
- He's a mythomaniac. - No, it's true.
Where are your name?
- What does it mean? - You're asking where my name is.
No. Where are your name?
Where are your name?
- Where are your name? - Where is my name?
- You don't understand English. - You're weird.
- It's Queen's English. - My goodness.
Noblemen ask two questions at once to save time.
I asked you where you live and what your name is at once.
(Jokes bring them together.)
Many of my friends have been...
pestering me...
to let them meet Sun Bin.
I told them to wait in line.
Are you happy, Sun Bin?
(What is Sun Bin's favourite scene?)
President Bang Pil Gyu... Is he the president?
Is he?
He's not the president.
He's the adviser.
You're wrong.
We'll all starve to death.
(President Bang Pil Gyu)
My favourite scene is when
Bang Pil Gyu's family collapses.
Don't feel too sad.
That is life.
(This is the scene where Bang Pil Gyu begs Yang Jung Do.)
We have to bear it.
(He goes down to his knees to protect his wealth.)
I'm sorry.
(He goes down to his knees to protect his wealth.)
I'm very sorry.
Please forgive me.
I made your parents suffer.
I will live with the guilt for the rest of my life.
It's no fun.
Dump the lot, Ms Noh.
(Yang Jung Do doesn't forgive Bang Pil Gyu.)
With their creative strategies,
they succeed in collecting Bang Pil Gyu's taxes.
However...
(There was a twist.)
By scattering the bills from the rooftop,
they left the viewers in shock.
Who are you?
I'm a swindler.
Isn't it fun?
This is fraud.
How can you trust a swindler?
Squad 38 was full of unforgettable scenes.
There were many priceless lines...
that reflect the injustice of our society.
This is why you shouldn't humiliate people with money.
The law is like a bully.
Excuse me?
(From Episode 2)
It's weak for the strong,
and strong for the weak.
(It's weak for the strong, and strong for the weak.)
The law is a bully, and we are bullies as well.
Who should we collect taxes from, then?
(Who should we collect taxes from, then?)
Those who don't have money.
Collect it form them.
They're obedient.
And easy prey.
You can toy with anything else.
(From Episode 12)
Just not with someone's heart.
That person gets hurt...
and you become lonely.
To make more money...
you need to put on a show like this.
That way, those who have nothing...
believe there's justice and that gives them...
hope to go on.
I need people like that to go on...
so I can take their money later on.
You're trash.
(Commissioner Ahn's favourite line)
"It was to make a living."
That line.
It takes a day to fall.
I put in a lot of effort to portray that my character...
was a different kind of patriarch from Dong Seok's.
It was to make a living.
My kid's growing up.
I had no chance to say so.
Let's go, then.
To crush them.
Each and every actor...
became one with their character.
They all have their favourite lines.
I said something like this.
Someone asked if I was in or not...
and instead of saying yes or no, I said...
"You have nothing."
"Do you have money?"
"I'll supply the ammunition."
It's one of those things.
"Do you need money? Come to me."
"How much?"
"Here's a blank cheque." That's how it felt.
It's something everyone would love to say.
I'd love to be able to say that to someone in real life.
"Do you need money? Don't worry."
"I'll give you what you want."
I think it was the scene where Mi Joo first met Sung Il.
"I don't work with a nobody."
(So cool)
Jung Do.
(When Mi Joo met Sung Il for the first time)
I don't work with a nobody.
Excuse me.
I heard that.
I don't work with strangers.
Things happened.
You can't call me that.
I remember the line that completed...
the image of Ma Jin Seok...
early on in the drama.
"Law favours money. It bends for the rich."
That line.
Listen carefully.
Law favours money.
It bends for the rich.
Do you get that?
My character was more of a doer than a speaker,
so I didn't have that many lines.
The dialogue that stuck with me the most was...
"Go lightly."
I said that right before Hak Joo got beaten up.
Are you ready to take them all on?
- Yes! - Yes!
(Ji Yeon and Hak Joo's face-off)
Go lightly.
There can only be one line.
"Weigh him."
Sung Il said it once...
I think in episode 14.
I think the viewers liked it.
We weigh things by the kilo.
(When Hak Joo met Sung Il)
Go and weigh him.
Escort him politely and weigh him.
The most memorable dialogue my character said was...
"Mi Joo."
"Born in 1994."
Those lines.
I didn't have many lines.
(Ko Kyu Pil)
- Say what you want. - What?
(Ja Wang reveals his age.)
It's my first time in the field. I'm nervous.
I'll need your advice.
Am I older?
You are.
I was born in 1994.
(Everyone's favourite line)
Of course it's "It has been paid in full."
- The tax? - Yes. "It has been paid in full."
When Sung Il says that, it just gives me the chills.
It's so thrilling.
The total sum of your back taxes, 5.77 million dollars,
(The total sum of your back taxes, 5.77 million dollars)
has been paid in full.
The total sum of your back taxes, 49.77 million dollars,
(The total sum of your back taxes, 49.77 million dollars)
has been paid in full.
The total sum of your back taxes, 100 million and 890,000 dollars,
(The total sum of your back taxes, 100 million and 890,000 dollars)
has been paid in full.
That took a while.
Con until the end and collect it all.
Squad 38.
(Squad 38 with Commentary)
It's fun when someone messes up.
- Let's all relax. - In 1, 2, 3.
Are we on?
I'm Ma Dong Seok and I played...
a timid public official.
- Dae Hwan, introduce yourself. - Me?
- Look into that camera. - Okay.
I'm Oh Dae Hwan and I played Ma Jin Seok.
Hello.
(Clapping)
Hello, in Squad 38 I played...
Jung Ja...
I was halfway through my name.
- Jung Ja Wang. - Yes.
I played Jung Ja Wang.
My name is Ko Kyu Pil.
(Clapping)
Hello, I played Jang Hak Joo...
and my name is Heo Jae Ho.
Nice to meet you.
I'll say this because we're done now.
Dae Hwan...
Dae Hwan looked smart most of the time and Hak Joo...
He straightened his hair.
He's not that weird in real life.
People tend to get the wrong idea. Play the tape, please.
(When the team gets together as they walk along the street)
- Look at his face. - Gosh.
This scene, if done poorly,
could be very corny.
We just went for a comedic element...
- and it worked nicely. - Mi Joo.
At first we wanted to make it look like a scene...
from "Nameless Gangster: Rules of Time",
but we said that was too contrived and wasn't us.
(That's how they got this scene.)
I'm picking my nose.
Now? "I'm from City Hall."
"I'm with the Taxation Office."
"Don't get in my way. Step aside."
My character from "Bad Guys" would say...
"Who are you?"
Those two characters are very different.
That's why I sometimes got frustrated playing Sung Il.
There were some parts where I thought,
"I wouldn't have done this."
In real life, though, there are more people like Sung Il.
Very few people just bulldoze in...
like Park Woong Cheol from "Bad Guys".
In this drama I left my hair as it was.
I left it the mess it was. It's spiked in all directions.
I left it spiky...
or even greasy.
I aimed for the natural look,
but I didn't know it was that bad.
Work on your temper.
Small scenes like these...
got me emotional.
Tucking her in.
Shooting that...
This part was so...
Was that ad-libbed?
- Stealing a bill from the table. - Yes, it was.
- This scene was emotional. - It was...
We burst out laughing when I took the money.
I had to film that part 3, 4 times.
Gosh.
Come back in.
Wasn't that okay?
Don't laugh as you leave.
You ruined it.
See the woman in the middle?
The one sitting alone?
This part was...
We filmed a lot for the part where I learn how to...
con people and talk to women,
but we only showed bits of it.
What's wrong?
I'm married.
Excuse me.
I'll go when I'm ready. Don't push me.
Most of that scene...
was Dong Seok winging it.
This scene was just...
(Giggling)
My mother texted me to say I showed my belly.
Is that the police?
You idiot.
(Lee Se Young's cameo)
(Nice)
I expected someone really pretty.
- That totally surprised me. - Same here.
It was even more hilarious when we were shooting that scene.
- We had so much fun. - Right.
He sat like that and kept staring at her.
(He kept staring at her.)
I don't change my phone number often!
Hey!
(I don't change my number often.)
I'll keep exercising right here!
She kept improvising like that at the end.
(She kept improvising.)
Because my silhouette looks so attractive from behind,
people often think that I don't look as attractive from the front.
Don't you think I look pretty good?
(Smiling)
- Eat up. - All right.
(The bean sprout soup scene from Episode 3)
Goodness, this is such a hassle.
- This scene was the funniest. - What are you doing?
We were trying so hard not to crack up.
- It was so hard not to laugh. - It was really difficult.
Dae Hwan cracked up once and spat food all over,
so we had to set the table again. The food was shot out of his mouth.
- Please eat. - You, too.
(While shooting the bean sprout soup scene)
(Laughing)
The look on his face was funnier.
What are you doing?
We'll do it again.
(Slurping)
Are you slurping that back?
(They couldn't continue shooting.)
Take it! Why wouldn't you take it?
What are you doing now?
Ma Jin Seok. I really liked that scene.
- It was the first time... - We'll teach you a lesson.
In the drama, that scene takes place...
in Ma Jin Seok's fancy mansion,
but it's actually a suite at a hotel.
- It's 10,000 dollars per night. - Yes, 10,000 dollars per night.
- It's 10,000 dollars per night? - Yes, to stay there for one night.
We rented the suite to shoot that scene.
- Fine, I'll show it you. - Let go of me!
Look for yourself if you want.
- Sir, what are you doing... - Get lost, you little...
That scene showed those two men fighting...
- Right, they fought. - They fought...
like immature kids.
The director likes those things.
I'm the president of Dong Hwang Culture Art Product Exchange,
Cho Hee Joon.
In Guk was awesome in that scene.
He's obviously so good at talking in that dialect.
There were hundreds of kings and thousands of ministers.
In scenes like that,
actors' lines tend to be very lengthy.
Familiarising oneself with those long lines...
to the point where one can feel comfortable with them...
is extremely difficult because it's easy to forget the lines.
I was actually watching him while he was filming that scene.
Gosh, he did it over 10 times from the beginning to the end of it.
When you watch the drama, it just looks like a short scene.
But we have to do multiple takes when we shoot, which is difficult.
He did such an excellent job.
It's a company that manages such objects and artefacts.
What do you think?
(At a club in Itaewon)
- That day... - Which scene was that for?
That was...
It was for the scene at the bar.
- Oh, right. That scene. - Yes, at the beginning.
I had such a great time that day.
I love it here.
There are so many beautiful ladies here. It's my lucky day.
(It's my lucky day.)
I thoroughly enjoyed shooting there.
I really didn't want to leave.
Even the director was smiling from ear to ear the whole time.
Is that why the director grimaces...
every time he walks into the cold storage?
That day, he was utterly...
(The cast and the crew encouraged and supported each other.)
As you know, I had to be on my feet a lot.
I actually have some metal screws and pins in my spine...
and shoulders due to past injuries.
Other actors were aware of it,
so we gave massages to each other.
Look at that.
- This team is so systematic. - Right.
They're great at it.
I taught them where the pressure points are.
(It's time for massage.)
Now, we should turn around.
Then you walk to the other end.
- Turn around, please. - And you'll stand there again?
Today is the first shoot for Squad 38.
Today, I will be...
Whenever the camera approached me, I explained which scene...
and what part I was working on at that moment.
I'm not sure if all the footage was kept,
but please put them together and show the viewers...
if there's an opportunity for it.
It's really funny.
(Beatboxing)
(Rapping)
This is how we hang out.
(Something looks strange.)
Two people can hide behind me.
(Two people can hide behind me.)
Hello?
(While shooting the voice phishing scene)
Right, I need to press the button.
Try it.
I can press four buttons at a time.
(Dong Seok flaunts his pantomime skills.)
Why are you recording this?
- Can you sit up? - Yes.
(Heo Jae Ho got injured while filming a fighting scene.)
Don't move. You shouldn't move.
That's when Hak Joo was injured, right?
- My ribs were fractured. - Right, your ribs.
They were fractured then?
Yes, they were. I went to a doctor...
and got a shot as well as pain relief medication.
He had to wear a compression bandage to film that scene.
He was in pain then.
Gosh, didn't that hurt a lot?
It didn't hurt much, but it cut through the skin on my face...
even though that bottle was made of sugar.
- It can definitely do that. - Right.
You need to be careful with those broken pieces.
I got shards from it stuck here when I got hit twice...
in "Nameless Gangster" and had to go to a hospital.
I had a perm, so the shards didn't get stuck in my head.
- Your hair acted as a cushion. - Exactly.
I said you should leave.
- Get lost. - Why are you pushing me?
Scenes like this one is difficult to shoot...
because it takes such a long time.
(Scenes like this is difficult to shoot.)
There are many actors involved, too.
It's because...
Soo Young fell down. It could've been a serious injury.
(Soo Young could've been injured seriously.)
You could end up with a broken shoulder when you fall like that.
- Did she fall on her arm? - She did.
But fortunately, she wasn't injured.
I'm okay. I fell on my wrist.
Are you really going to be okay?
(Members of Squad 38 were disguised as gangsters in Episode 14.)
I had my hand in his mouth while doing that,
and the roof of his mouth got all peeled because of my fingernails.
(Jang Hak Joo kept his hand in Jung Ja Wang's mouth while hitting him.)
That's enough. Stop hitting him.
- Was your hand okay? - Well...
Your hand probably wasn't even clean.
It stank, too.
Saliva would do that.
It smelled a bit like your bad breath.
- What are you talking about? - It's the saliva.
Your hand was almost in my throat,
so I was about to cry. It would smell, of course.
Jae Ho touched Kyu Pil's uvula with his hand,
so Kyu Pil was actually crying.
We saw the look on his face and stopped the shoot.
I asked him, "Why are you crying? What's wrong?"
And he couldn't stop crying.
Untie me now.
- Just a second. - We're sorry.
(This isn't acting.)
It's all right.
Gosh, why did you actually hit him?
- Are you okay? - Are you all right?
How can you guys...
(Slap of vengeance!)
My back!
Jae Ho is the one who actually got hit.
- Exactly. - That's right.
You know that scene from Episode 16 where Ja Wang and I...
- feed each other, right? - Yes, that scene.
It was a serious scene,
but we fooled around, acting as if we wouldn't give each other food.
We put our fingers in each other's mouths, too.
- That was hilarious. - It was so funny,
but the director said it doesn't suit the flow of the plot.
It'd be nice if we could see that.
(While shooting the hospital scene)
- This is the scene. - Yes.
- I was hungry. - The director told us...
to make the scene funny...
- and memorable, - Right.
- but it wasn't a funny scene. - It was difficult.
Hak Joo, can you feed me?
I'm hungry.
Kyu Pil talks in a very unique way...
when he plays the Jung Ja Wang character.
It's different from how people normally talk,
but I really like it. I think it's very authentic.
It reminds me of the actor, Yang Dong Geun,
and how he differentiates the way he talks when he acts...
- from the way he raps. - That's right.
I've always really liked that,
so I enjoyed that component in how Jung Ja Wang was portrayed.
You have to wrap it in dried laver like this.
Here.
Eat it!
(Jae Ho tried to make the scene as funny as possible.)
Eat. Now, you should eat...
- kimchi. - No, the anchovies.
Anchovies? No, eat this first.
(He put his fingers in his mouth instead of food.)
I'll give it to you now.
(They had to stop the shoot!)
Gosh, that was dirty.
(Laughing)
(Undisclosed footage! The group fighting scene)
That scene was shot...
when I went to meet Noh Bang Sil.
There was a group fight scene,
- but it was edited out. - It was.
It was...
comparable to...
Baek Sung Il and Yang Jung Do's fight.
(Giggling)
(Jang Hak Joo has been attacked.)
It's a shame.
I wish it had been aired.
That's Kwang San.
That's amazing.
Look at that.
Oh, my.
There are other scenes that got cut out.
There was a scene where I was waiting for someone...
in a car.
I drank a whole bottle of water.
The scene was...
supposed to be serious.
It was too funny for the scene.
Byung Choon.
- Byung Choon. - Yes?
(Kim Byung Choon played Kang Noh Seung.)
It was Byung Choon's birthday.
- Look at that. - When was it?
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
Was it his birthday?
- Oh, yes. - It's so touching.
Can't I get one from her?
It's strange to see Bang Pil Gyu...
kiss a taxation officer.
He turned 60.
I've never celebrated my birthday while shooting.
Maybe I'm getting old.
It's getting harder to arrest someone.
(Jeong In Gi played Detective Sa Jae Sung.)
In Gi and I have been...
in many movies together.
In "The Neighbour", he played my uncle.
I hit him a lot.
- That's right. - This time,
since he played a detective,
I thought he'd get to hit me...
and give me a hard time,
but in Episode 16, Park Woong Cheol showed up.
He gave Sa Jae Sung...
a hard time.
I laughed so hard.
What were you going to do with it?
Are you Baek Sung Il?
What?
(Park Woong Cheol from "Bad Guys" appeared in the final episode.)
I'm Park Woong Cheol.
He's...
probably the one who is...
the least like his or her character.
- I think so, too. - He's like an angel.
- He's an angel. - He's so nice.
(Someone's phone rings while shooting.)
Whose phone is it?
Chief.
(The actors start dancing at once.)
What is this?
Chief.
- Someone's phone rang. - That's right.
(Actor Kim Hong Pa played Bang Pil Gyu.)
It's so hot today.
- That's Hong Pa. - I'm sweaty.
He's so charismatic.
- He's very manly in real life, too. - We're working this hard.
- Please enjoy our drama. - I love him.
He's so nice.
His acting was amazing.
(Bang Pil Gyu is taken down by the squad.)
(He screams in anger.)
(He's roaring.)
(His scream fills the studio.)
Please change the lens.
(In Guk tries to cheer him up.)
You have to make it more real.
All right.
I'm sure...
we'll all remember this drama...
for a long time.
From Ho Jae...
to Hong Pa,
who played Bang Pil Gyu,
Dae Hwan,
Nae Sang...
to Woo Jin, who played Commissioner Ahn,
all actors and actresses...
did an amazing job.
They made up for it...
when the main characters, In Guk and I,
fell short.
Our director was very helpful, too.
I loved it. Man Seok did a great job as well.
Squad 38,
- go! - go!
I'd like to thank everyone,
first of all.
For making this team,
I thank our director.
I'm so grateful.
I feel thankful to every single person on the crew.
During the 4 to 5 months of shooting,
there were difficult moments as well as good ones.
But everyone shared the moments...
and stayed positive.
I really appreciate that.
I think it gave me the energy...
to push forward.
Also, I'd like to thank...
our director, Han Dong Hwa,
for making all this possible.
I'd also like to...
thank our leader,
Dong Seok as well.
A tooth for a tooth, a con for a con.
With an unpredictable plot...
and thrilling revenge on defaulters,
Squad 38 entertained the viewers all summer.
Dear viewers,
you wrote new history.
(It received OCN's highest viewer ratings ever.)
We thank you...
for the high viewership.
Everyone on the crew, thank you for your hard work.
I love you.
Squad 38, go!
- Good job. - Thank you.
Thank you.
This "Bad Guys" scene was...
my last scene...
in this drama.
I was so happy...
to work with such great director,
scriptwriter, actors and actresses...
in such a great environment.
I don't think I'll ever forget this drama.
I hope you'll remember this drama, too. Thank you.
You're the ones who made such high ratings...
and a great drama possible.
Please continue...
supporting me.
Please don't forget my character, Mi Joo.
Thank you.
Thank you...
for your love for Squad 38.
We received so much love...
although we weren't perfect.
We really appreciate it.
First of all,
I'd like to thank the viewers...
for supporting our drama.
There were even viewers...
who wanted our drama to be extended.
We felt the same way.
I can see...
how much you loved our show.
I do feel it.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Dear viewers,
thank you for watching,
supporting and loving Squad 38.
Everyone on the crew...
worked so hard.
It's all thanks to your support.
I wonder if I'll be able to meet...
another drama like this.
Thank you for enjoying our drama.
For actors and actresses,
when viewers love their work,
it's the happiest...
and most rewarding thing.
I felt like we were the ones who were comforted.
I was happy to be a part of this great drama.
Please look forward to my next drama as well.
I'm always in good dramas only.
I'm looking forward to playing in another great drama.
Thank you.
Dear viewers,
I'm Seo In Guk, who played Yang Jung Do.
We're saying goodbye...
here in the 17th episode.
It's a strange feeling...
to meet you as Seo In Guk,
not Yang Jung Do.
It's very nice...
and strange at the same time.
Thank you for supporting our drama to the end.
All right.
Thank you.
Baek Sung Il, Yang Jung Do,
the squad...
and the taxation officers,
thank you for your hard work.
Our staff worked so hard...
for the past 5 to 6 months.
I'd like to thank our director and scriptwriter...
for making such a great drama.
Most of all, I'd like to thank our viewers...
once again.
I appreciate all your love and support...
for Squad 38.
Thank you!
