(After unbelievable MT for the 1st anniversary,)
(they're here to meet the master.)
(The street of youth, Daehangno...)
(is crowded with young people who have dreams.)
(He must be happy to sing a song.)
Sweet cocktail
(With fluttering steps, they arrive at the Marronnier Park.)
- Hello. - Hello.
You called us to the street of youth.
I spent my high school years here.
You're supposed to play on the road here.
- Feel... - Goodness.
- Goodness. - Feel free.
I haven't been to Daehangno in such a long time.
I lived about a year and a half...
in a theater here.
I slept and took shower in the underground theater.
When you were trying to become a comedian.
When I was in high school.
When Master Park Ji Sung appeared,
he said there is no place in the ground...
where his step did not reach.
That's what Marronnier is to me.
- "Marronnier." - "Marronnier."
That's what Daehangno is to me.
I walked all over this area to give out flyers.
Sometimes after the show,
if it was too strenuous,
you know "Like the Salmon Tracing Up the River" by Kang San Eh?
I used to listen to that song alone here.
I used to cry here in Marronnier Park.
This place means a lot to you.
Yes, it does.
There used to be so many pigeons in Marronnier Park.
- Yes. - One time,
I wanted to joke around.
- So, pigeons follow you for snacks. - Yes.
I dragged them to the theater.
I dragged a flock of pigeons to the theater.
I...
(Snack Piper of Daehangno)
See? Pigeons are gathering.
They recognize me because I used to feed them so much.
Actually...
I pretty much debuted in here.
- Really? - Yes.
I was in a band in high school.
Then I met my boss and Master Lee Sun Hee...
- in the theater over here. - When was that?
In 2002 to 2003?
We started in the same year.
- Yes. - In 2002 to 2003.
I also started in Marronnier Park in 2003.
- Really? - Yes.
- Seriously... - Marronnier...
- We're number Marronnier. - Number Marronnier.
- Marronnier! - Marronnier!
- We're both from Marronnier. - We're both from Marronnier.
- What a surprise. - It's amazing.
Our master today has...
a deep connection with Daehangno.
- With Daehangno? - Yes.
- If we're meeting the master here, - This is...
it's 100 percent.
(He's got an idea?)
There is a very high chance...
- that he's either a performer... - Performer. Right.
- or an actor. - Highly likely.
- Very highly likely. - Yes.
Then now, what about hint giver?
- We have one minute left. - Okay.
He must be strict on time.
He must be very strict.
I think our master today...
and the hint giver...
would never waste not even a minute.
- They're... - Thorough?
Yes, they must be thorough and perfect.
- Then it's going to be tough. - Yes, it's going to be tough.
Make the call to the hint giver for the hint about the master...
who will make you come to your senses again.
- Okay. - Here we go.
I wonder who the hint giver is.
(Connecting)
It's loud.
(Connecting)
- Something doesn't feel right. - Something doesn't feel right.
(Why won't he pick up?)
(He picked up.)
Hello?
Hello. We're All the Butlers.
Yes, hello.
- You must've been sleeping. - Well...
Did we...
Did we wake you up?
(Chuckling)
Isn't it too early for a call?
Oh, right.
(Sighing)
I'm sorry. It's too early.
I thought this was agreed.
When did you get up?
Your call woke me up.
This low tone voice.
Do we...
happen to know each other?
(He takes a long pause.)
We do.
- He said you do. - Isn't this Seo Jin?
(Really?)
Why do you call so early?
(Why do you call so early?)
Right? I knew it.
Your voice sounded familiar.
But we're on a speaker phone, so I wasn't sure.
Now...
that I know who it is, I understand.
There's only one person who can be this feisty in Korea.
(The hint giver is Lee Seo Jin.)
- Hello. - It's Lee Seo Jin.
- Hello. - Hello.
Isn't it time for you to wake up?
I had a shooting until late last night.
- Okay. - I see.
Who is the master that even you decided to talk on the phone?
As far as I'm concerned,
you hate talking on the phone.
I hate talking on the phone.
- Yes. - Yes.
I don't like All the Butlers either.
(Laughing)
Why do you not like All the Butlers?
Isn't it your type?
You make me tired.
(Only Seo Jin can make unkind jokes.)
I've never met such an unkind hint giver before.
- He's a fiend. - Hint Fiend.
- You're not a hint giver. - Hint Fiend.
You're Hint Fiend.
(Laughing)
You still monitor our show for me though.
Recently...
I met him for work.
- Right. - Right.
He recently watched the show.
He told me about my changed hair color.
- Wasn't your hair always like that? - You were a fan of our show.
Don't do this!
(It is fun though.)
When you were playing badminton, didn't you have blonde hair?
When we were with Master Lee Moon Sae.
- He watched the badminton one. - You watched every episode.
You watched everything.
And he will be on our show soon.
(He's just laughing.)
Anyway, I wonder who it is...
since you are giving us the hint.
I am very curious.
Of course,
he's a senior actor who is more experienced than me.
- Right. - Right.
He must be someone I find difficult. Right?
Someone more difficult than Seo Jin.
If he is more difficult than you,
he must be someone with incredible charisma.
He must be.
Why aren't you giving us hints?
You should give us hints.
Hint Fiend. Hint Fiend.
What is your relationship to the master we are meeting today?
(What is Seo Jin's relationship to today's master?)
- I told you he's a senior actor. - Right.
But what is your relationship like?
Do you see this person often in private?
If it's someone who you see often in private,
I would be able to make some guesses.
(Is he someone who Seo Jin often sees in private?)
The only person I often see in private is you.
Is it you then?
(Getting hints has never been this tough.)
I see.
He is...
someone who is admired by...
everyone in Korea.
He's respected by...
the entire nation.
He must be a very famous person.
Why would he be on All the Butlers Otherwise?
You are right.
Don't be upset!
So...
(He laughs.)
Let's laugh. Let's laugh.
Laugh. Laugh.
(Please show us your smile with dimple.)
Wait.
Have you worked with this person before?
Of course I have.
When we shoot a drama,
often times we get an incomplete script or get it at the last minute.
You worked on a drama together, not a film.
Even if we shoot the scene...
right after we get the script,
he remembers all the lines exactly as they are written.
- He has good memory. - Right.
His memory is incredible.
Even if he gets the script at 5am...
and the shoot starts at 7am, he remembers all the lines.
- It's amazing. - He must be very diligent,
and he must have a superb sense of responsibility.
- He must be clever too. - I guess that's what he's like.
He's diligent.
He's a bit impatient though.
- He's diligent and impatient. - Diligent and impatient.
He's the opposite of you, isn't he?
We are not very compatible to be honest.
(Even if they are not compatible, he respects him.)
You are not compatible, but you admire him.
He is...
a father figure.
- A father figure. - A father figure.
- A father figure. - It's a man.
- He's a father figure. - It's a big hint.
I think I know who he is. It just popped in my mind.
I see.
It might be him.
- Right? - All right.
Have I given enough hints now?
If you want to give us more hints, you can.
I think that he's an admired actor who is...
- a father figure... - A father figure.
- A father figure. - is a big hint.
(He's the admired actor who is like a father figure.)
Right. You must know him well too, Seung Gi.
That's big.
All right. Thank you so much.
Please come out on our show as the first unkind master.
(Laughing)
Anyway, I hope you will...
serve the master well until tomorrow.
- Okay. Thank you so much. - All right.
I hope you spend the year-end well. I'll call you.
Okay. Good luck.
- Thank you. Bye. - Thank you.
Okay.
He's the first Hint Fiend.
(He's the first Hint Fiend of the show.)
Actually, Seo Jin...
talks unkindly.
But he's not unkind at all.
I want to meet the unkind yet kind master.
If you want to learn how to be unkind yet kind,
go to Seo Jin. I'm serious.
He's the Hint Fiend,
but he gave us the most precise hint.
He helped us get an idea.
The hints were...
- gradually heading towards him. - It was.
- I thought... - I got the idea too.
(Even Seong Jae got the idea.)
- Okay. - His two initials...
are the same as us.
- It's him. - Right.
Our initials match perfectly.
- Right. - Right.
- But it's him, right? - It has to be him.
If he's the one I am thinking about,
I think today and tomorrow...
will be the only days I won't be mischievous.
I think we shouldn't be too relaxed.
(We shouldn't be too relaxed.)
You can now go and meet the master.
- He's in the building next to this. - Right.
Is he in the next building?
What is he doing there?
(Why is he in Daehangno?)
This is exciting.
If he's who I think he is...
I've been really wanting to meet him.
I think I won't be able to make jokes.
(Who is the master waiting for them in the next building?)
(As they follow the back street of Daehangno...)
(with many small theaters, they arrive at the place.)
It's here.
Is it here?
- I am... - It's certain.
99.9 percent sure.
(Looking at the meeting place, they are sure about who he is.)
By the way, you should be careful about one thing.
(Careful?)
If it's him,
he might give a talk to us...
out of his love for young artists.
And once he does, he might take a long time.
- You know what I mean, right? - He might talk for a while.
- I love listening to someone talk. - But...
there are times when it goes...
past the point of liking it.
When it happens, you shouldn't lose your concentration.
- You get it, right? - Okay.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
I am really excited for today.
(They heard the warning. It's time to face him.)
I can't believe I get to...
- meet him on All the Butlers. - I know.
When they came up with this show, they must've thought of him.
We have arrived.
(Where is the master?)
He's practicing.
- Is he practicing? - He's practicing.
- Is this a practice room? - I'm nervous.
(Is the master practicing?)
Is it here?
It's here?
I think this is a practice room.
The master is over there.
No way.
He's practicing.
Please promote it. Be healthy.
(The master is in here.)
- The master is there. - We can't enter the room now.
We shouldn't enter the room.
The master said you should come in...
- and watch them practice. - Can we go in?
Let's quietly go inside and go to a corner.
(Carefully going in)
- This? - No, that book.
I just put it there.
- This? - Yes.
- This is yours? - Yes.
- But I picked it up. - What?
Why are you accusing me of stealing all of a sudden?
(Folding his two hands together)
(They freeze.)
Is there proof that this is yours?
Proof?
(They must be practicing.)
- Really? - Did you put a stamp on it?
(They take seats in the corner and watch the practice.)
Did you write your name on the book?
You can't do that when we are doing the same thing.
A young man hit the rock bottom...
and is trying so hard to make a living.
You should be praising me. How can you accuse me of stealing?
Right, right. I am proud of you.
(Finally, the master of the masters...)
(reveals himself.)
(He's the master in our heart. Who is he?)
- Are you talking to me? - Yes.
You asked for a praise, so I gave you a praise.
Thank you. Now move aside.
Do you not like the praise? Do you want to get cursed?
What's wrong with you, old man?
Of all the things a young man can do,
how can you take old people's jobs?
(62 years of acting experience has given him the charisma.)
(He's been on 140 dramas...)
(and 140 films.)
(He's filmography includes about 300 works.)
(To Kim Myung Min, he is the pioneer of the path he is on.)
(To Han Ji Min, he is someone who is always acting.)
(To Lee Seo JIn, he is someone admired by all actors.)
(To Bae Jong Ok, he is the compass of her acting life.)
(To Ha Ji Won, he's her role model. She wants to act like him.)
(He is the Master Actor...)
(who is admired by all actors.)
(The godfather of acting turned into Mr. Porn...)
(and bonded with the young generation in a sitcom.)
(He's the national actor beloved by all generations.)
(For 62 years, he's worked on 300 films and dramas of all genres.)
(Actor Lee Soon Jae's acting life...)
(is the history of acting in Korea.)
(Today's master is the Master Actor, Lee soon Jae.)
Do you not like the praise? Do you want to get cursed?
(His acting is so real...)
(that the audience become serious.)
(They are immersed in his acting.)
You have 4 perfectly good limbs and 2 perfectly good eyes.
Do something productive. Something productive.
Come back here,
and I will throw you.
(He perfectly manages the manly man gesture too.)
Keep up the good work.
(In the play, master has a crush on Son Sook.)
- Why? - Why are you following me?
I am not following you. I am just going my way.
But you usually take another way.
I was waiting for you there, but I couldn't see you.
You couldn't come because of that trouble.
- I didn't know. - Did you wait long there?
No, I didn't wait long.
I got behind with my deliveries. I'm in trouble.
I'll go now.
- Hey. - Yes.
I've been worried about you.
The ground is icy. So be careful.
(He even does an ad-lib.)
(He sees the members...)
(and pats Seung Gi's head.)
(Seung Gi's camera)
(He's the mood maker of the group.)
(Hello.)
(He shakes hands with Sang Yun. They had worked together.)
You got younger.
(Sang Yun's camera)
- Thank you. - For what?
- You've always been there for me. - No, I haven't.
You just held the cart for me too.
Do you want me to always be there for you?
Never mind. Thanks anyways.
By the way, come here.
Come follow me.
(Without making any mistakes, he memorized all of his lines.)
Good work. We'll stop here.
- That was great. - Great work.
- You were great. - Hello.
Hello, master.
Hello, nice to finally meet you.
It must have been hard for you guys to come all the way here.
- Hello. - Great work.
- Hello. - That was very nice.
- How have you been? - How are you?
Let's start by officially welcoming the master to the show.
Master, we'll start by welcoming you in our style.
- What should I do? - You can just stay as you are.
Okay, I will.
Master, please take good care of us today.
- We are "All the Butlers". - We are "All the Butlers".
(All the Butlers)
Things have surely changed over time.
"Things have surely changed over time."
When you said you were going to do the welcoming, I thought...
- you were going to bow down. - No one did.
(He thought they were all going to bow down.)
Anyways, it's time to eat.
- Right now? - I ordered it.
- Did you already order? - I did.
- I see. - Let's eat and talk.
- Should we talk as we eat? - Yes.
- Let's eat and talk. - Okay, I see.
I can't believe we finally have...
Mr. Lee Soon Jae as our master for the show.
I know.
- Master, do you remember when... - Yes.
I called you a year ago and I told you that I will be joining...
this show? And as we were talking,
He promised me to be on the show anytime.
I guess today is the day he keeps the promise.
- My goodness. - Today is the day.
- Thank you so much. - You're welcome.
- It's not only because of that. - I see.
- I think the Chinese food is here. - My gosh.
Mr. Lee Soon Jae got these for you guys.
- I love Chinese food. - It's my favorite.
- Goodness. - Thank you so much.
They look so good.
I think they gave us some complimentary food as well.
- Look at this. - Thank you, master.
My goodness.
Master, do you order Chinese food often...
when you practice?
Back in the days, I could only afford Chinese food.
If I ordered that, it would be a feast.
- A feast. - Yes.
They all look so good.
Jjamppong.
(Jjamppong and jjajangmyeon make it more festive.)
- It's jjajangmyeon. - Mix it well.
Things have certainly changed a lot these days. Right, master?
I'll shift the focus to your face from the noodles. Mix it too.
To your face.
(Good job, Seong Jae.)
- Enjoy. - Enjoy.
Thank you for the meal.
(Eating)
(The master takes a bite too.)
Master, you have been working...
as an actor for 60 years.
As I far as I know,
you have done over 300 pieces of work...
including plays, films, dramas.
- I think I did more than 300. - My goodness.
Then you must have received a lot of awards as well.
- Awards? - Yes.
Didn't you win the Drama Awards?
No, I've never won the awards as the best actor.
(Master has never won the awards as the best actor.)
(That can't be true.)
They never gave me one.
Why didn't anyone give it to him?
(To whom is Seong Jae asking?)
I can't believe you've never won as the best actor.
I guess I didn't deserve it.
But you won the Entertainment Awards.
- It's because of "High Kick!". - I see.
- From the Entertainment Awards. - I see.
Because I won as the best actor from Entertainment Awards,
they should raise my pay when I'm on a variety show like this.
(They should give him a lot of pay because he won the awards.)
I deserve it like Yu Jae Seok.
(He is in the equivalent level as Jae Seok in this field.)
- He won the Entertainment Awards. - I can't believe it.
That's how things are.
- That's how life is. - I see.
To be honest, I saw you...
on "High Kick!" a lot and...
(I know where he's getting at.)
There's a famous video of you online.
- The one in front of the computer. - In front of the computer.
- Porn. - I know that.
Pornography. This video.
Porn.
Pornography.
What is this?
How dare he hide something like this on the computer?
(He stops closing the video.)
(He's falling into the video.)
That had a lot of impact on me when I first watched it.
Situation comedy is such an attractive genre...
of drama.
It has a lot of fun. It's quite exquisite too.
A sitcom portrays our daily lives,
- but in an exaggerated version. - You're right.
(My goodness.)
(What did I just see?)
- For example... - Master.
- Your finger. - Your finger.
Please use your index finger instead.
Your middle finger could cause misinterpretation from the viewers.
- Please use your index finger. - What do you mean?
Use your index finger instead of your middle finger.
Why? What's wrong with this one?
(He certainly won the Entertainment Awards.)
He's hilarious.
(I'm learning a lot from you.)
There are four methods of expression...
(He is explaining about the 4 methods of expression in acting.)
in traditional classic comedy. There has been a lot of change over time.
Sense of humor,
satire, irony, and pathos.
The pathos is critical.
This highlights empathy.
- I can't stop seeing it. - My goodness.
- It's bothering me. - It's the ring finger.
- It's the ring finger, - That's right.
- not the middle finger. - Their thoughts are so impure.
You're the one using the middle finger instead of other options.
(The members are constantly being surprised by Soon Jae's fingers.)
Master, acting is rooted from experiences.
When you had to play the porn scene,
you didn't grow up in a generation where porn was easily accessible.
- We watched video tapes. - They had video tapes.
Yes, his generation had video tapes.
- Didn't you have to watch... - The red videos.
porn online before you had to act?
- I think... - Yes.
I couldn't have expressed the real reaction if I had known what it was.
Imagine the difference in facial expressions when you first watch...
- it and you watch it many times. - I get it.
If I had seen it many times...
(This is an example of a person who watched porn many times.)
It would be like this.
(Enjoying)
(That was a nice one, master.)
It's totally different.
- That was hilarious. - My gosh.
- That's so funny. - Now I understand.
- I get it now. - Goodness.
- As you told us, - My goodness.
- That was so funny. - What you showed us right now...
would be true if you had watched porn many times.
But in the scene you played, you seemed so...
- I really didn't know what it was. - curious.
- Because it was your first time. - You're right.
It was probably better because you haven't seen it before.
For example. when you accidentally watch it while reading the news...
(This is an example of a person who first encountered porn.)
It would be like this.
(That is so funny.)
That's hilarious.
(His eyes get bigger.)
(He has to make sure nobody is behind.)
- You're the best, master. - My goodness.
- Gosh. - This is his skills.
- He can act it right away. - His skills are incomparable.
You should try it too.
I'll start with the experienced one. I just started watching it.
I don't think I can do it.
- This isn't working. - You need to check the door.
You guys should try too. I can't keep up with the master's skills.
When you're watching porn,
your hands are usually...
behind your head like this.
(Relaxed)
You should try, Sang Yun.
- The experienced person? - Just do the facial expressions.
I can't do it like master.
As you're watching the video,
wouldn't you gradually fall into the video?
(There is a monitor in front of Sang Yun.)
Are you sure you watch porn like that?
- What you just did seems like... - Yes.
a person who hasn't seen porn a lot of times.
You're staring it with curiosity because you haven't seen it a lot.
But if you have watched it a lot of times,
it's based on the fact that it's going to be entertaining.
- So you will enjoy for sure. - Yes.
Then you would have a smile from the beginning.
(You would have a smile from the beginning.)
Isn't that right?
What's this one going to be like?
(He's explaining the details with a simple facial expression.)
- My goodness. - He's hilarious.
Gosh.
(That was impressive.)
Acting requires so much.
- He didn't really do much. - It looks so easy.
I can't believe I got to see this in person.
You need to be able to express diversely.
And it has to be appropriate.
When you're trying to act the same scene in the same context,
the difference in your facial expressions will...
allow you to make the viewers laugh.
This is why sitcoms require brilliant ideas.
Acting requires...
strict calculation.
(Master asserts that acting requires calculation.)
This might be an extreme example,
but you need to calculate...
where you will look after your line.
The meanings will vary...
depending on the different ways you look after the line.
An English actor Laurence Olivier said this.
He was very insightful.
He was an expert of Shakespeare.
He played the leading role of all of his plays...
including "Hamlet".
(He tends to go on and on when he starts talking.)
It really depends on the actor's abilities to convey the message...
- with the expressions. - That's right.
But the...
You can't fully convey the message with the lines.
Which is also why we tend to use your own words...
to do that.
Master, have you...
So that's why acting requires...
lines that make sense.
You're the medium of delivering the lines written by writers.
There was Jerry Lewis who was also famous in the 1960s.
That's when Marlon Brando comes in.
Audrey Hepburn,
Grace Kelly who starred in "The Country Girl."
In her debut film,
Master, you almost sound like an Artificial Intelligence.
They're the masters of slapstick comedy.
They're actors for traditional drama.
Regardless of the fame...
- and the looks, - Action cut.
Action cut.
(Se Hyeong is the master of intervening.)
(This is an advanced skill that he practiced.)
(It's called the "action cut.")
- Ye Jin was... - My goodness.
(Screaming)
(Action cut allows intervention...)
(with an overly exaggerated action and grabs others' attention.)
(You have to talk to me.)
(Finally, he met someone...)
(who is strong enough to use this technique.)
(Here comes the Action Cut.)
If our country...
(If our country...)
(What?)
(Please talk to me.)
If our country had someone like James Dean,
he would've gotten an award.
(The Action Cut fails.)
Master, then...
- He didn't care. - here today...
Action Cut won't work with him.
You need to precisely remember the lines.
You can't even get a word wrong. But...
So this is the script.
(Seung Gi moves on to a new topic.)
This is the master's script.
(The play script is filled with his notes.)
What are these number in the front?
Those are how many words...
there are in one line.
This is why I started counting words.
When I was young,
I never got paid for acting in a play.
I didn't get paid even after 10 years.
I heard I would get paid if I act in a drama.
They divided the actors into Grade A, B, and C.
- And you were paid accordingly. - They ranked them.
It applied to anyone who is not a lead actor.
You were classified as Grade B actor only if you had more than 100 words.
But if you only...
had 90 words, you were classified as Grade C actor.
Even if you had 99 words, you are Grade C actor.
You would be a Grade C actor.
Does the pay change according to your grade?
(He started counting the number of words to figure out the pay.)
There was another reason.
My colleagues and I did it...
so that we would compete about who gets more lines.
And it became a habit.
So that's what happened.
Now when I see how many lines I got...
"So I have this many line. Let's see. I have 350 lines?"
"Okay. How many days would it take me to memorize them?"
I use that information to plan the line memorization.
When you know how many lines you have,
you know how much time it will take you to memorize it.
Look here.
It says I will memorize 35 lines in a day.
There's a plan every day from Monday to Friday.
- He divided the lines. - Yes.
This is the plan for memorizing my lines.
Is this how you memorize the lines?
(It's very systematic.)
You have a habit of putting down numbers next to the lines.
But you first started doing it to calculate your pay.
(He first started doing it to calculate the pay.)
So what is our plan for today?
We will be spending a day together.
We should go somewhere nice.
(Somewhere nice?)
Is a place already reserved?
- You should just follow me. - Okay.
We will wrap up and follow you.
- Okay. - Thank you for the lunch.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
You actually did the Action Cut.
Action Cut didn't work.
Action Cut didn't work for him.
- He didn't care. - "I have something to say"...
is really your last resort.
If you say, "I have something to say," he would let you talk.
- I think even that won't work. - What?
- That might not work. - I will try it. Watch me.
This always works.
(I have a question.)
(Will it work this time?)
(Who raises a question to Soon Jae School?)
(Master Actor will teach them.)
(Kids, do you want to act well?)
(The private lesson of the master...)
(turns them into true actors.)
(Becoming the true actor is painful.)
(Do not despair.)
(Lee Soon Jae's Acting School is about to start.)
Let's get off.
- We're here. - Okay.
(Where did the master take them to?)
Where are we?
It's a school.
This place reminds me of when we met Venerable Pomnyun.
- It looks like that school. - It looks like that place.
By the way, this place is so beautiful.
(It's a small elementary school.)
Master, what is this school used for?
After the school closed down, it's being used as another space.
I am putting on a performance here tomorrow.
- Here? - Yes.
You are in it.
- What? - We are in it?
Yes.
- Master, wait. - Master, we...
What kind of a performance are we putting on?
I am putting on a performance here tomorrow.
You are in it.
- What? - We are in it?
Yes.
- Master, wait. - Master, we...
What kind of a performance are we putting on?
You will learn the basics...
- and put on a great performance. - But honestly,
we have never performed a play...
- in front of people. - I know.
Since we are here, we should practice it and give it a go.
- Can we do it in a day? - Can we do it in a day?
It would've been good if you've given us...
a heads-up.
It's not fun if I tell you ahead of time.
We will study it.
- We will study and prepare for it. - This place is beautiful.
- My goodness. - This place is beautiful.
My goodness.
You are all smart, so you will be able to do it.
There is a dormitory too.
It's like a boot camp training. Boot camp training for actors.
Acting School.
It's Acting Boot Camp.
- "Acting Boot Camp". - Acting Camp.
This is a very special education.
- It is. - Yes.
This is where you will stay.
(This is where you will sleep tonight.)
It's really nice in here.
- Master. - It's where you will lie down.
There are some things there.
Are those notebooks?
- Indoor shoes. - These?
- Indoor shoes? - Notebooks.
I haven't worn indoor shoes in such a long time.
(Indoor shoes and notebook are a must during school days.)
Indoor shoes.
Leave them there.
Last time we were given a day to give a lecture.
All the Butlers is...
Considering the master's personality, I don't think...
he will allow this play to be poor.
So we are going to learn from him today...
and perform tomorrow.
It's the genre I have never tried.
Have you been on a play, Seung Gi?
What? A play? Never.
I've watched it many times.
All the Butlers always...
challenge us.
Honestly,
it's an incredible opportunity to get an acting lesson...
from Mr. Lee Soon Jae.
Right. I am curious.
(Will they be able to put on a play in just a day?)
Are you ready?
- Yes. - Let's go. Let's go to the class.
Let's hurry.
Why aren't they coming?
(The diligent master has been waiting for them for a long time.)
Why aren't they coming?
Where are they?
(Hurrying)
Is Master waiting?
(Master is waiting. Let's hurry.)
- Is it here? - Is it an auditorium?
Let's go.
It really looks like a school.
Hello, Master.
- Hurry up and take seats. - Hello, sir.
(There are desks and even a blackboard?)
Usually at school, students take seats first,
and the teacher comes in later. It's the opposite right now.
(Oh, dear.)
I am sorry.
A skier came thinking we are going to Pyeongchang.
(He's like a kid who wore ski clothes to brag to his friends.)
Have a seat.
(There's always a kid like him.)
(How dare you tell on me? I will repay you at recess.)
Where is the lip balm?
(He's slightly bothered.)
(Right. Master was waiting for us.)
Let's greet him first.
Should I do it?
(I've been waiting for a long time.)
(Hurry up, Seung Gi.)
Before the class begins, we will greet the master.
We are not in the army. We are in school.
Nobody does that in school.
(Whenever we are about to forget it, his soldier identity comes back.)
Attention. Hands in the back.
Attention. Bow to the master.
- Hello, sir. - Hello, sir.
Welcome. Welcome to Soon Jae School.
(Congratulations on enrolling at Soon Jae School.)
We didn't expect to enroll in a school,
so we are a little flustered.
- Sit. - Okay.
Sit.
(He can't interfere.)
- All right. - It progresses fast.
Congratulations on your enrollment.
Master, it's your first time...
to give a special lecture like this, isn't it? With only four students.
Why would I do it when it's not making any money?
Right.
(Laughing)
(You rookies. This is how to be on a variety show.)
He's so witty.
- It's... - Did you see this?
"Actor is a creator."
- "Actor is a creator." - A creator.
Or does it mean you are a creator if you learn?
It means actor is an artist too.
An artist.
(Therefore, you must possess pride and sense of responsibility.)
An artist.
(Actors are creators.)
- Today's class will be... - It's out first class.
- about the basics of acting. - The basics of acting.
The basics of acting.
The basics are always the most important part.
That is why I always say this.
"Acting is an action that is learned and developed..."
"through training."
I see. Through training.
So the most important part of acting is...
describing the exact words.
- Describing the exact words. - Describing the exact words.
To be more specific, it's describing the exact lines.
It's the basics of acting to describe the exact lines.
In other words, it must be...
comprehensible to viewers who watch the play for the first time.
- Do you know what I'm saying? - Yes.
Suppose there is an old man who came to watch the play...
because he heard that Soon Jae will be playing.
While he's sitting there to watch...
If I go like this, he wouldn't be able to understand.
People nowadays talk really fast.
[VIU Ver] E48 Master in the House / All the Butlers "Master of Acting : Lee Soon Jae" -= Ruo Xi =-
(Even though they couldn't understand, it was fun to watch.)
- It would be funny instead. - It's hilarious.
Regardless of who is watching the play,
the pronunciation has to be accurate so that everyone can understand.
(Accurate pronunciation is required so that all viewers can understand.)
Accurate pronunciation.
Which is why actors have the responsibility to use standard...
language with accurate pronunciation so that all viewers can understand.
- I see. - So we have to train our talking.
- Train our talking. - But Korean is quite difficult.
Seung Gi, why don't you read the sentence below?
"Just like how we were in the past,"
- "we could be together again." - Okay.
I knew you were going to read it like that.
If you read it like that, the word "past" would mean a "test".
(There was something wrong with the pronunciation?)
- I see. - You mean the way I read it?
- Yes. - Really?
You have to pronounce the first syllable longer.
(To correctly pronounce the word, make the first syllable longer.)
- Past. - Past.
If you pronounce it like the way you did, it would mean...
the national civil service exams that people took in the past.
The correct pronunciation is this.
(The longer sound of the first syllable sets the difference.)
There are long vowels and short vowels in our language.
Long and short vowels.
(This pronunciation means the civil service exams.)
(This means the time that passed.)
There are words that we need to be careful of our pronunciation.
(Depending on which vowel you use, the meaning completely changes.)
You need to be able to distinguish the difference.
- Master, you must be... - More importantly,
More importantly,
people nowadays care a lot about...
their English pronunciation.
Because many people are fluent in English nowadays.
But my question is that why do they care so much about their English,
but not their native language?
(Why do people care more about English pronunciation than Korean?)
Our native language is...
so unique and eternal.
We must protect it.
(Because our language is eternal, we have the duty to protect it.)
Currently, BTS did a great job...
in spreading our language around the world.
Many non-Koreans use Korean to cheer for them.
They're my friends.
It's usually normal for artists to sing in English out there,
but because they sing in Korean, people use Korean to cheer for them.
- They're my friends. - What?
- They're my friends. - Anyways.
Anyways. He said anyways.
- Anyways. - They're doing a great job.
(Soon Jae casually ignores irrelevant topics.)
(The members won't be able to say a word before the class ends.)
Which is why I don't think actors must acquire a second language.
We should learn about our language first.
I have a question.
(I have a question.)
Try to say "I have a question," if you're desperate to intervene.
(According to Se Hyeong, this was more powerful than the action cut.)
Most of the time when people say this, they would say "go on".
(Would Se Hyeong's intervention skill work this time?)
I have a question.
- Master, do you... - It's a relief that...
It's a relief that young people nowadays are...
starting to speak standard Korean...
- regardless of regions. - Dear viewers,
please be quiet.
(You're not allowed to ask questions.)
Let me see.
(Soon Jae has something to show the members.)
- Look at this. - Goodness.
(Why do you need a book when we're practicing pronunciation?)
I remember this from a long time ago.
It's called "Korean Pronunciation Dictionary".
If you call yourself an actor, you need to have one of these.
(Soon Jae always carried this book with him for the past 62 years.)
This is a guide book for pronunciation.
(Sang Yun who puts his name down reminds of an ideal student.)
(It's mine now.)
I feel like...
(Korean Pronunciation Dictionary)
Everyone seems so excited as we received new books.
- My goodness. - Goodness..
Even though I see it, I have no idea how to pronounce it.
Piety, a dog race, anxiety.
The two dots mean that it's a long vowel, and the one without...
the dots means it's a short vowel.
You pronounce the first syllable long or short.
I found this on the dictionary and there are two kinds of "bae."
Does the short version mean the fruit pear?
- Yes. - Then the long version...
must mean the stomach.
Then...
(The longer version of "bae" means stomach?)
I think this "bae" indicates multiplication.
It's somewhat similar to that.
- It's not stomach? - It's somewhat similar to that,
but I don't think it's exactly what it means.
- It's the Chinese character. - If you don't know...
Chinese characters, this dictionary is completely useless.
- I don't know this character. - It's useless if you don't know...
- the Chinese characters. - What does this mean?
The shorter one is the fruit pear.
- Right? What about this one? - Yes.
The longer one means multiplication like double.
Multiplication.
(You need to repeat and iterate.)
To clarify,
The ship that you sail,
- The ship. - the fruit pear,
- The fruit pear. - Yes.
and the stomach...
are all pronounced with a short vowel.
(How do you distinguish if they are all short vowels?)
- In this case, - You can't.
you won't be able to distinguish.
The meaning would depend on the context of the sentence,
and you would be able to understand with it.
(That's right.)
When I travelled on a ship,
the happiness was doubled.
- Yes. - It would be something like this.
If that's true, then the phrase that Lee Duk Hwa uses all the time,
"My stomach," must be pronounced wrong.
That's type of exaggeration.
He says it in an exaggerated manner,
but the stomach part is still pronounced with a short vowel.
(The whole sentence is spoken long to exaggerate.)
You don't pronounce the stomach long as well.
I thought he pronounced all words very long.
If what you said is true, then the stomach would sound like this.
My stomach hurts.
My goodness, my stomach hurts.
The stomach is not necessarily pronounced long.
That's right.
My stomach hurts.
(This is an example of improper pronunciation.)
My stomach hurts.
(This is an example of the proper pronunciation.)
As you can see here, the word "buja" has more than...
- two synonyms. - Yes.
What are the most commonly used meanings of this word?
"Buja" as in rich.
- And "buja" as in... - Father and son.
Now tell me which one has a short vowel and which one has a long one.
I think "buja" that means rich will be pronounced with a short vowel.
And "buja" that means father and son will be pronounced with a long one.
Because they live together for a long time.
(What kind of rationale is that?)
They live together for a long time, so it would have a long vowel.
It would be pronounced with a long vowel because they live together?
For a long time.
Your approach is based on the length of life?
Will you say it longer if you tell someone you guys are father and son?
I don't think so. I think it's the opposite.
It's pronounced with a short vowel.
I searched it up on the dictionary.
(Se Hyeong searched it up on the dictionary like the internet.)
According to the dictionary,
"buja" that indicates rich people is pronounced with a long vowel.
And the relationship of the father and the son is pronounced short.
- That's what it says here. - That's right.
The relationship of the father and the son.
It's pronounced with a short vowel.
Let's put it this way.
The father and son became rich.
- That makes sense. - What about...
That was a nice example.
- Then it's rich father and son. - "Rich father and son."
The father and son who wanted to become rich,
finally became rich.
That's right. Nice job.
(Way to go, Se Hyeong. You're so bright.)
I feel like I became smarter.
I'm getting to like this school.
(Soon Jae School makes students feel smarter by just listening to him.)
I don't exactly know why,
but the things we learn right now are really easy to follow.
- This is fun. - That's good.
(They're all eager to learn.)
I found something that all Koreans are pronouncing wrong.
What is it?
When you call your significant other...
or your partner, you say "jagi" which means honey, right?
- Yes, honey. - Yes.
(It's been pronounced wrong?)
It's pronounced with a short vowel.
We usually say it very long like this.
Honey.
- Right. - Honey.
Dear all Korean viewers, it's pronounced with a short vowel.
- Honey. - Honey.
This is the proper way of saying it.
- Isn't that too extreme? - He's right.
In the beginning of a relationship, it's pronounced improperly,
but when you're married for a long time, they pronounce it properly.
That's right.
- Honey. - Honey.
Without much affection or emotion, it results in proper pronunciation.
If you want to say it long,
you can just make the last part really long like this.
(There are linguistic rules that couples need to be aware of.)
Now we're going to focus on pronunciation.
- Okay. - Let me see.
- This is fun. - I'm confident about this one.
Is this an advanced version? Is it more difficult?
That's the tongue twister.
- I'm good at that. - It's practice for pronunciation.
Pronunciation. The second lesson is about pronunciation.
This involves an oral activity.
Before an actor does a line,
one would try to prepare the muscles of the mouth as a warm-up.
- Something like this. - Yes.
- That's right. - For example,
- Like this? - Yes.
You will get the accurate pronunciation...
only if you open your mouth wide enough.
You can't get it if your mouth is shut.
(In order to pronounce accurately, you need to open the mouth widely.)
I don't think I can still do this now.
Whether the weather be fine...
or whether the weather be not. See? I can't do it.
I can't do it.
(Laughing)
(He's also fast at giving up, just like the way he is at talking.)
He gave up right away after he got one word wrong.
- He's so funny. - He even...
He even did it a bit slowly so that he could get it right,
but he still got it wrong.
- I told you I was bad. - Should we give him another chance?
- Let's give him one more chance. - Go ahead.
These tongue twisters appear often.
Okay.
Whether the weather be fine...
or whether the weather be not.
Whether the weather be cold or whether the weather be hot.
We'll weather the weather...
whether we like it or not.
That's it.
(He did it in one try.)
I think you pronounced the last word wrong.
- Now... - He was doing well until then.
- He choked a little. - Okay.
- He chocked a little. - But you were still very good.
I am old now.
- Of course. - So my pronunciation isn't good.
You have fresh mouths. You give it a try.
- All right. - Sang Yun can go first.
- Sang Yun. - Go ahead.
Whether the weather be fine or whether the weather be not.
Whether the weather be cold or whether the weather be hot.
We'll weather the weather...
- whether we like it or not. - That's the best.
(That's the best.)
You should say it a little faster.
(He tells Sang Yun to say it faster.)
But he said it much faster than you did.
- He needs to be much faster. - He was faster than you.
- He was twice faster. - Say it even faster.
- Say it faster? - He was about...
three times faster than you.
When you get older, you become slower.
Young people these days talk really fast.
So you should do it your style.
Okay.
- 2 times faster. - 2 times faster.
Whether the weather be fine or whether the weather be not.
Whether the weather be cold or whether the weather be hot.
We'll weather the weather...
whether we like it or not.
(He gives a thumbs-up.)
- He's fast. - He's good.
He's fast.
I think he's surprised.
(Is the master very surprised?)
- He's got nothing to say. - Master.
He did well, so please praise him.
Master became speechless.
I can't understand what he's saying. He said it too fast.
- Wasn't he supposed to? - Wasn't he supposed to be fast?
He did well. He did very well.
- That will do. - Right.
(When you do well, Soon Jae whips you to do even better.)
As long as people can understand you, it's fine.
I will give it a go.
(Skier Se Hyeong will give it a go.)
Whether the weather be fine or whether the weather be not.
Whether the weather be cold or whether the weather be hot.
We'll weather the weather...
whether we like it or not.
(Bravo.)
Great. Great.
There is a generation gap.
You are all clever.
- I will give it a try. - Sir.
(I found something.)
- You did something wrong. - What is it?
He mentioned that "deul" is a long vowel.
So he pronounced it longer.
But you said it really quickly.
You are really amazing.
(He attacks him with a long vowel.)
"You are really amazing."
(Sang Yun is amazing.)
Now, we need to...
(At this point)
pick a captain.
Right. We need one.
The class will be disorderly otherwise.
The person who does it well will become the captain.
He will be selected based on his ability. We have to accept it.
What is that?
- That's amazing. - That's difficult.
- What is that? - That's difficult.
(It's a very difficult question that will decide a captain.)
(They have to say "mussel" 10 times and "big chestnut bread" 10 times.)
- That's difficult. - That's difficult.
- Mussel. - That's really difficult.
You will say "mussel" 10 times.
Master can you...
Can you say it five times?
Not 10 times. Just 5 times.
I don't really like mussels.
(He doesn't like mussels.)
(Everyone bursts into a laughter.)
(Soon Jae doesn't like mussels.)
He's never in the situation where he has to say "mussel".
- We don't like mussels either. - He doesn't like mussels.
So you should...
Let's take that one out. I don't eat mussels.
He doesn't eat mussels.
You like big chestnut bread, right?
- Big chestnut bread? - Yes.
I like chestnut bread. I don't like big chestnut bread.
Can you say "chestnut bread" 10 times then?
- Chestnut bread. - That's the same as...
It's...
(He stammers.)
Can't you do it?
- This is really difficult. - Why would you have to do this?
He keeps trying to skip it.
(He keeps trying to avoid it.)
Mussel. Mussel. Mussel. Flamingo.
Flamingo. Flamingo.
It turned into "flamingo".
- It's difficult. - It's really difficult.
- Try it. - Okay.
- I will go with "mussel" first. - Okay.
- It's going to be hard. - It's going to be tough.
(The mussels are on stake in this election.)
(Who will receive the honor of becoming the captain?)
Here we go.
Start.
Mussel. Mussel. Mussel. Mussel.
(He forgot how many times he's said it.)
(Mussel gives him hip hop swag.)
You're good.
- My pronunciation was good, right? - It wasn't bad.
That's quite good.
You did well.
- It's not easy to say it fast. - Right.
Mussel. Mussel.
Mussel.
- Mussel. - Mussel. Mussel.
Mussel.
You have to say it fast. The standard BPM is 4000.
- 4000? - Go with 4000.
Okay. Ready.
(Candidate number 2 is the idol Yuk Seong Jae.)
Ready and start.
- Mussel. - Mussel.
- Mussel. - Right.
Mussel. Mussel. Mussel. Mussel.
Mussel. Mu. Mu. Mu.
(He fails on the 10th mussel.)
Right.
- This is difficult. - Mussel.
"Mussel" is difficult. Mussel.
Here we go.
(Candidate number 3 Se Hyeong gives it a go.)
(The fate of the captain lies on ten mussels.)
- It's difficult. - Mussel.
Start.
Mussel. Mussel. Mussel. Mussel. Mussel.
He's good. He's really good.
He's good.
(It's the perfect way of saying "mussel". He gets five stars.)
Then...
(There is no need to hear how Sang Yun does it.)
- Am I... - You are the captain.
(He appoints Se Hyeong as the captain.)
Attention!
At ease!
(No! I won't do it!)
Attention!
Assume push-up position.
Assume push-up position!
Sit.
Today's captain is Se Hyeong.
(Se Hyeong is the captain of the day at Soon Jae School.)
He's the captain of Soon Jae School.
- I'm the captain. - My goodness.
I admire him.
Actually, there is no reason...
to say those words 10 times.
It's useless.
It would come in handy once or twice at most.
- I love this school. - He's right.
This school is really addicting.
You don't need to say it.
But it's a practice to pronounce words clearly..
Right. You're good.
You did well.
(1st period ends.)
I haven't heard the bell in a very long time.
Quiet.
Captain.
Attention.
Bow to the teacher.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Don't be so strict. We are not in the army.
Then why did you make me the captain?
It's my first time ever to become a captain.
(It's my first time to take up such a position.)
I should go to the cafeteria.
It's recess.
It really feels like being at school.
"The news said,"
- "the snow that fell last night..." - He's reviewing.
"turned the fields and mountains white."
We will go outside for the second period.
Bring the supplies and gather in the schoolyard.
- Okay. - Master.
Is the supply gourd?
Are we going to be breaking them again?
- Is it gourd again? - My goodness.
Those are the supplies.
Let's take this outside.
(Why do they need gourds for the 2nd period?)
- Let's go outside. - Hurry up.
(He assists the master.)
I heard your knees are not in good shape.
(Seung Gi is worried.)
The air changes when you get away from Seoul.
It's the north.
- It's the north. - Yes.
(Running)
(Looking for the master, Captain Se Hyeong fell behind.)
- The master isn't out yet. - These are for the class.
These are the supplies.
Wait. He's right here.
We are going to play a game and break these gourds.
Where do I sit, Captain?
- Where do I sit, Captain? - You can sit here, sir.
- Here? - Yes.
(The master treats Se Hyeong as the captain.)
And...
- It's nice. - I am excited. Outdoor class.
It's an outdoor class.
All right. The second period.
To act, you need to memorize the lines.
Memorization.
- Memorization is a must-have skill. - That's right.
When you get older,
your memory will decline.
If you think you can't memorize the lines anymore,
you must resign from work.
Memorization for actors...
is a must-have skill.
In my case, this is how I trained my memory.
One day, I read an English book,
and there was a list of presidents of US.
- Presidents of US. - Presidents of US.
- So I... - Did you memorize them all?
I tried memorizing. Whenever I am bored, I test myself.
If my memory is still good.
- From... - Presidents of US.
my understanding, there have been...
- more than 40 presidents. - 45 to be precise.
45 presidents.
- It's... - If you don't mind,
can you list...
- the names of all the presidents? - I will give it a try.
- I might not get everything right. - We will search the list online.
Can we check if you are right?
- Go head. - We are not doubting you.
It's all there, right?
I will give it a try.
We will test if the master remembers the names of...
all the presidents of US.
Start.
George Washington.
John Adams.
Thomas Jefferson.
James Madison.
James Monroe.
Then there's...
John Quincy Adams.
Then it's Andrew Jackson.
Martin Van Buren.
William Henry Harrison.
- Right. - John Tyler.
John Tyler. Then...
James Knox Polk.
Zachary Taylor.
He died during the term.
Millard Fillmore, the Vice President became the President.
Then there was Franklin Pierce.
Next, James Buchanan.
The 16th President was Abraham Lincoln.
When Lincoln was assassinated,
the Vice President was Andrew Johnson.
He almost got impeached.
Then...
Ulysses Grant. Hero of the Civil War.
Then Rutherford Hayes.
Then James Garfield.
He died a year after. Next is Chester Arthur.
Grover Cleveland. Am I right?
- Yes. - Then Benjamin Harrison.
- Grover Cleveland. - Yes.
Then it's William McKinley.
(Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft)
(Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge)
(Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman)
(Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson)
(Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter)
- Ronald Reagan. - Reagan.
- George Bush, Bill Clinton. - Yes.
- George Bush Junior, Obama. - Yes.
Now, Donald Trump is the 45th president.
That's amazing.
It must be even harder to memorize...
- because it's not Korean. - I know.
He doesn't just memorize the names,
- but history and story. - Yes.
He has the exact story telling.
If you think about the trigger,
you will remember it even after a while.
Did you prepare something for the class today?
That's from...
the historical drama I starred in 1982.
I played the Daewongun role.
It's a part from that drama.
Goodness.
(Gasping)
(It's long.)
What's this?
(Daewongun's famous line in "Pungun")
I could meet them again.
(My body may be far away,)
(but I have never left the land of Joseon in my heart.)
(My country is invaded by Japanese.)
(People are suffered by guns and knives of Japanese.)
(My king is there.)
(How could I ever forget?)
Your Highness.
(Inform them upon your return.)
(Tell all Joseon people.)
(Heungseon would never die in a foreign land.)
(Heungseon will die after...)
(stepping in his own country and seeing his own sky.)
Your Highness.
You need to know the story before you memorize it.
You see,
it's the time when Japan started the invasion.
He only worries about his land that he has left.
He says, "My king is there."
That's his son, King Gojong.
"How could I forget when my king, the son is there?"
It's all in there.
It talks about his endless concerns...
about his country.
(So...)
(are we supposed to...)
Try memorizing it.
As fast as we can?
(The time has come.)
Gosh.
And we have to act it out without the script?
Yes, after memorizing.
We must focus because we also have a show tomorrow.
We also need to practice that too.
- As fast as we can. - We have no time to waste.
Master.
I don't know what the show is about for tomorrow,
but there must be different roles.
Then will this help getting me...
- a good role? - It will help.
Okay.
Do we go as we memorize?
Of course.
(So, the memorization battle began.)
Memorize and try if you feel confident.
(But it's actually about getting the main role.)
Let me memorize it.
I should write it.
My body... My body may be far away.
- The Qing Dynasty. Far away. - That's really annoying.
- I'm dragged here. - Memorize in your head.
All the sufferings, and although I didn't want to go,
I'm dragged here.
Heungseon. My name is Heungseon.
- Heungseon. - Can you memorize alone?
"My heart is in Joseon."
"I've never left the land of Joseon."
"Inform them upon your return. Tell all Joseon people."
- "Remember this." - Seriously. I hate you.
- What? - What's wrong with you?
This is my way of memorizing.
Go over there.
This is my way of memorizing.
(Meanwhile, the student who was the top of his school...)
(turns on the noise-canceling function.)
"Tell everyone."
"Don't keep it to yourself. Make sure to tell everyone."
"My body may be far away."
"Heungseon would never die in a foreign land."
- "My body..." - "I never die here."
- "may be far away." - "I don't die here."
"Not until I step into my land."
Let me try.
- Already? - Joseon... Already?
- Okay. - "My country..."
(He deserves to be my school junior.)
- Already? - He's fast. Okay.
It's true that Seoul National University...
(It's been only 3 minutes since they started.)
Come over here to try.
(This is nothing.)
Good.
(Sang Yun proves his CPU brain...)
(and eyes on the main role.)
He's...
(Sang Yun proves his CPU brain and eyes on the main role.)
- He's clearly... - Let's start right away.
My body may be far away.
but I have never left Joseon...
in my heart.
- People are tormented... - Come on.
(He fails to memorize it.)
- You got wrong before that. - Really?
It's not Joseon, but the land of Joseon.
He shouldn't be hasty.
- You need to be serious. - Okay.
- "My body..." - "Far away..."
"My body may be far away."
"but I have never left the land of Joseon in my heart."
Seriously. Come on.
"People are tormented by guns and knives of Japanese!"
- "People..." - I'll leave.
Okay.
- "My heart..." - "Japanese..."
"Inform them upon your return."
"People are tormented by guns and knives..."
- "Tell all Joseon people." - "My body may be far away."
"My king is there."
You're all very good.
"My king is there."
- Let me try. - Okay.
(I doubt...)
(he memorized it before me.)
- Here we go. - Yes.
I may be far away.
- Hey. - What?
(My body may be far away.)
It's "My body."
That's not enough to leave the country.
- That's not enough. - You scared me.
(Memorize the story.)
That will only get you to Kaesong.
You can only get to Kaesong.
- Is it "My body?" - It's "My body."
- "My body." - You're in China.
- Seung Gi's going to try. - "My body may be far away."
- He's going to try. - "Heungseon would never die."
- You need to give it a try. - Okay.
You can do it. You can get the main role.
(I'll memorize it and get the main role.)
- Go. - Go.
My body may be far away,
but me, Heungseon...
What is it?
Oh, it's "But I."
- Let's try. - I...
(Sang Yun's circuit got a kink for a second.)
- Go. - Go.
(This time, he's trying for real.)
My body may be far away,
but I have never left the land of Joseon in my heart.
My country is invaded by Japanese.
People are tormented by guns and knives of Japanese.
My king is there.
How could I ever forget?
Inform them upon your return. Tell all Joseon people.
Heungseon would never die in a foreign land.
Heungseon...
will die after stepping in his own country...
and seeing his own sky.
(He memorized it successfully.)
Will die after seeing his own sky.
(He set a record in 5 minutes.)
That was so fast.
Amazing.
(Clapping)
(Memorization is the easiest.)
Good job.
Now you have to act. You only memorized the words.
- Only the words. - You need to...
- put emotion into it. - Yes.
Would you like to go next, Captain?
Wait.
- Let me try. - Go.
- Hey. - Show me what you got.
- I saw the show, - What?
and you hit me with a full swing.
What are you talking about?
I was surprised.
(He punished Sang Yun the bad son with a full swing.)
(I never thought time to break the gourd would come so fast.)
- Let me hit him. - Okay.
(Full swing is on standby.)
Meanwhile, let's practice.
My body may be far away,
but I have never left...
Joseon in my heart.
(He stutters.)
Why would the king stutter?
What? Left what?
Joseon...
He said, "I have never lifted the land."
"Lifted."
- Now Seong Jae. - Let me try.
(Seong Jae's second try.)
My body may be far.
(My body may be far away.)
(Let's give him a break.)
A blooper.
- Sorry. I have no choice. - A blooper.
(Seong Jae fails in the first line twice in a row.)
Hey. You're...
How can you not memorize one line?
At least, I've reached the second line.
My goodness.
"My heart..."
I can't memorize the detail.
Seung Gi's already defending himself. He's wearing the hood.
He's ready to be hit.
I'm getting myself ready.
- Go? - Go.
(Will Seung Gi make it?)
My body may be far away,
but I have never left the land of Joseon in my heart.
(My country is invaded by Japanese.)
My country is invaded by Japanese.
(What?)
(Twitching)
People...
He suddenly sounds like Master Seol Min Seok.
(He suddenly sounds like Master Seol Min Seok.)
People are tormented by guns and knives of Japanese.
(He's likely to fail.)
My king is there.
How could I ever...
Go to a restaurant?
(He was close.)
How could I ever go to a restaurant?
How could I ever flirt in a restaurant?
"How could I ever forget?"
Let me try.
(Seong Jae's third try)
"People are tormented."
My body may be far away,
but I have never left the land of Joseon in my heart.
My country is invaded by Japanese.
People are tormented by guns and knives of Japanese.
My king is there. How could I ever forget?
(He's already proud.)
Inform them upon your return.
Tell all Joseon people.
Heungseon would never die in a foreign land.
Heungseon will die after...
stepping in his own country and seeing his own sky.
Good job.
(He memorized successfully.)
(He fully understood Daewongun's situation and his ordeal...)
(and memorized "Pungun" lines perfectly.)
Nice.
- Let me try. - Good job.
Try.
(Perfect memorization and emotion)
(Good job, Seong Jae.)
You two do it.
- Let's take turns. - Sure.
- Are you taking turns now? - Yes.
- We're taking turns. - Okay.
Competing against me is the worst that could happen to you.
It'd be funny if it was me and Seong Jae.
I'm not that bad.
If I win here, he's totally...
(Who's going to win and keep his pride?)
- Do you think I'd lose? - Yes.
Here we go.
(Interesting)
- Go. - Go.
(Se Hyeong tries first.)
- Who's going first? - Me.
- Okay. - My body may be far away,
but I have never left...
the land of Joseon in my heart.
Don't laugh.
There's no "Don't laugh."
(There's no "Don't laugh.")
Now, Seung Gi.
My body may be...
far.
- Go. Hurry. - He can't even finish one line.
My body may be...
getting far away.
(It's getting far away.)
What is it?
We're going to run out of gourds.
We'd need more gourds.
- We'd need a lot more. - Go.
People are tormented by guns and knives...
Tormented...
(He cheats.)
But Heungseon Lee...
- has never left... - Who's that?
the land of Joseon in my heart.
(Lee Heungseon pauses.)
What should I do?
This will never end.
- Why am I so stupid? - Seriously.
- "It's invaded by Japanese." - Here's the thing.
Daewongun is dragged.
Someone visits him from his country.
They came to see how he was doing.
He's talking to them.
- Right. - To them.
He's saying he will die in his country.
That's what he's telling them.
Right.
Think about the situation.
- The situation. - The situation.
Memorize it again.
Memorize it again before you try.
- How many gourds do we have left? - Let me try.
My body may be far away,
but I have never left the land of Joseon in my heart.
Good.
My king is there.
How could...
I...
ever...
forget?
Inform them upon your return. Tell all Joseon people.
I, Heungseon...
Heungseon...
(He's surviving with an ad-lib.)
Heungseon...
Listen carefully.
(I won't let you get away with it.)
There is no "Listen carefully."
Let's finish up now.
- Good work, everyone. - It's "A foreign land."
Let's finish up now. Here we go.
(Imagine Daewongun's situation.)
Ready. Go.
My body may be far away,
but I have never left the land...
of Joseon in my heart.
My country is...
invaded by Japanese.
People are tormented...
by guns and knives of Japanese.
My king is there.
How could I...
(He's likely to lose.)
ever forget?
Inform them upon your return.
Tell all Joseon people.
Heungseon...
(It didn't work.)
would never die in a foreign land.
Heungseon will die after...
stepping in his own country...
and seeing his own sky.
That's it.
He said, "That's it."
- Okay. - Okay.
(Se Hyeong memorizes successfully.)
- You missed... - You idiot.
- a few. - You idiot.
Still,
the master said, "That's it."
- The ending was a bit weird. - Yes.
(Tripping)
How many gourds did we use?
We used too many gourds.
(Gourd farm from the intense battle)
There are gourds everywhere.
We used so many gourds.
(They smashed so many gourds.)
I'm such an idiot.
(2nd period was intense enough to create gourd farm.)
Good work in a cold weather.
Thank you.
(What spectacle class is waiting for them in 3rd period?)
"Good work in a cold weather."
Let's go now.
(They all go back to the dormitory.)
The king is there.
How could I ever forget?
Inform them upon your return. Tell all Joseon people.
(Someone still hasn't broken free from Qing.)
Heungseon...
will die after stepping...
After stepping...
I'll die looking up at the sky.
Gosh. What is it?
- It's "seeing." - Come on!
I give up. I'm coming.
Get over here. You can't do it anyway.
I hope to live without any regret on my conscience.
Stop it.
I was ashamed even by a leaf moved by wind.
It's fun by the way.
(Prologue by Seung Gi with terrible memory)
- My body may be far away. - Far away.
My body may be far away.
- My body may be far away, - My body may be far away,
- but I have never left the land... - but I have never left the land...
- of Joseon in my heart. - of Joseon in my heart.
- My country is... - My country is...
- invaded by Japanese. - invaded by Japanese.
- Isn't it? - Isn't it?
(It's still intense.)
- The king's there. - The king is there.
- You just got wrong. - No.
- The king is there. - The king is there.
(It's the funniest spectacle in the world.)
- How could I... - How could I...
- every forget? - every forget?
- When you go back... - Upon your return...
- Inform them upon your return. - Inform them upon your return.
- Tell Joseon people. - Tell Joseon people.
All Joseon people.

Heungseon...
(It's hilarious.)
- would never die in a foreign land. - would never die in a foreign land.
(They're the most enthusiastic people in the world.)
- Seeing his own sky. - Seeing his own sky.
Look at him.
It's a relief that I'm not working on a historical drama now.
(What's next class with the master who's been acting for 62 years?)
(1 day before the performance)
(You're not sincere.)
(This will get you in trouble.)
(The master is worried.)
(Volatile acting class)
(Is it going to end like this?)
(All the Butlers awakens.)
(Their first debut stage as an actor)
(There is only one chance.)
(Bear the weight of the stage.)
(They prepared for the special show with the charismatic master.)
(What's the result of it?)
(Theater 101)
