This is a story about a country...
where time turns upside down and seasons flow backward.
A long time ago, there was this land...
that caused jealousy to many people for being adored by the skies.
The Iguazu Falls where rainbows are made at any time...
disgorged spouts of water from the cracks of the Earth.
That abundant water seeped into the land,
leading to present fresh wine and meat.
People gathered.
Their chests touched each other.
And with their four legs,
they danced the tango.
Coming down to the cold south across the warm north,
there was Patagonia with its backbone called the Andes.
The wind blew fiercely after barely crossing the high mountains.
All there was to be heard under the sky was the sound of wind.
Next to the mountain peak which stays silver all year round,
perpetual snow flew around.
Glaciers with the history of tens of thousands of years kept growing.
Then it disappeared with a groan.
I saw it!
In the southern ocean across a day-long path,
there was the end of the world.
Animals reached that end...
and shared each other's warmth persistently.
This giant story started from one land,
and it's being written even now.
While you can't dare speak the humble word...
that's on the tip of your tongue,
a wind rises in your heart.
It's barren, but enough. It's rough, but abundant.
The farthest land that holds the time of nature...
on the other side of the Earth.
This place is a country...
where time turns upside down and seasons flow backward.
Argentina.
We couldn't find any reason not to leave.
(Traveler 2, Argentina)
(A day before their trip)
- Come in. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Jae Hong. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- It's nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.
Hello.
Let's get the mic.
- Have you been well? - How have you been?
- Haven't you been busy? - Oh, no.
(The two members were college friends in the movie, "20".)
In Guk, what's your surname again?
It's Hwang. Hwang In Guk.
What's your name again?
Can I ask you something? I'm so curious about this.
- Sure. - Where's your Ong family from?
Okcheon.
I heard there are a lot of people with this surname there.
(Well...)
I was so curious about this.
I wondered when I should ask this.
(Lunchtime on the first day of their trip)
Do you like soccer?
(Lunchtime on the first day of their trip)
- I don't. - Guess what we have in common.
- We don't like soccer. - Oh, really?
I thought you'd like it.
- I thought... - I don't know much about soccer.
- I thought you had to like it. - I know nothing about it.
- What about baseball? - I don't like ball sports.
- Same here. - Me neither.
Really?
People think I'm a bit weird.
Me too.
People always say I'm weird...
because I don't like ball sports when I'm a man.
I didn't play foot volleyball even in the army.
- You're the foot volleyball king. - Goodness.
What...
That's why I thought you should be good at it.
- I learned how. - That's why.
I watched "The King of Jokgu".
It's been a really long time...
meeting people with this kind of personality.
It's so fascinating.
(Episode 1: They Don't Know Soccer, But Argentina Anyway)
The three of us get along so well.
Our sense of humor.
(Especially, the sense of humor)
I don't think I can do this.
I wonder where Maradona lives.
Perhaps, on Marado Island.
(Snorting)
I think it's a little fascinating.
All three of us are slightly abnormal.
You're new, right?
(Laughing)
Ha Neul.
Jae Hong is our boss.
Boss Jae Hong and his two underlings, I thought.
Where do we go, boss?
(Solemn)
(Boss Jae Hong always takes the lead.)
(He makes orders meticulously.)
(He even cooks for the younger members.)
Aren't you Mr. Ahn Yeon Bok?
I'm planning to show off my flexible charisma.
(Flexible)
(Charisma)
He's considerate and caring.
Let's have our youngest member decide first.
Do your legs hurt?
(He folds Seong Wu's clothes for him.)
He's like a problem-solver.
(He fixes Seong Wu's camera.)
(Smiling)
Ha Neul has a lot of good energy.
He creates a great atmosphere.
It's raining! I love it!
This is so nice.
I love how my face is so tan.
(He's even happy when it's windy.)
Show me what you've got!
He has endless reactions.
I recommend this to you.
It's a miracle. That's what it is.
It's like you took private lessons to learn how to show good reactions.
(Smiling)
Isn't it so delicious?
This is so delicious.
It's the best.
(He slides down his chair.)
I love how you react.
(He even compliments people on their reactions.)
He's very sensitive in a unique way.
Hello, where are you from?
I personally had great fun thanks to Seong Wu.
I know he's younger than me, but he felt more like a friend.
He loves to take photos.
And he's very sensitive.
He's cute, fun, and adorable.
Hey, guys.
(He's a fool for his two travel buddies.)
It's for you guys.
What did you prepare this time?
(He drops the camera.)
- My gosh. - What is this?
You're a mess.
(Their laughter never ends.)
(The day before the trip when things were still awkward)
It's not a bad idea to meet just one day before the trip.
Doesn't this make your heart flutter a lot more?
- That's how I feel. - Because it's only a day away.
I feel like I didn't pack something.
- But this feeling isn't so bad. - I know, right?
- It's not so bad, right? - Yes, do you get what this is?
I couldn't believe that we're actually leaving tomorrow.
I didn't pack anything yet.
- I also didn't pack at all. - Exactly.
(They're a bit sloppy but very cheerful.)
- See you tomorrow morning. - See you guys tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow. - Yes, see you tomorrow.
It's exactly halfway across the Earth from Korea.
Argentina, a country located in the south of South America.
It's right on the opposite of our country,
so there's exactly a 12-hour difference.
(Buenos Aires, 8am)
It's the eighth biggest country in the world.
(8th largest country: 278,040,000ha, 107th largest country: 10,030,000ha)
But their population is around 45 million...
which is less than that of our country.
Therefore, you can find lots of of unfrequented land...
once you're only a few kilometers out of the city.
(Their endless plains are very impressive.)
But there is a sufficient amount of food on this massive land...
which makes the country seem very abundant.
This is how much food they have.
The people here say all they need to do...
is to collect what the skies have blessed them with overnight.
So it's only natural that the kids have a pure smile.
(The people and animals of Argentina are very positive.)
And it's natural that the animals are very gentle as well.
Starting from December to February is when the frozen land...
slowly turns green again.
(Unlike our country, the weather is warm from December to February.)
That is the best time of the year to travel to Argentina.
And that's when the three of us got together.
But of course, we can't be the only ones who know that.
The country will definitely be packed with other travelers.
So in order for a smooth trip, we planned our trip beforehand.
Here's our plan.
We're going to start our trip at Buenos Aires,
the capital of Argentina.
Then we're going to head to Puerto Iguazu.
(Buenos Aires, Puerto Iguazu)
And then, we're going to travel south to Patagonia.
(Buenos Aires, Puerto Iguazu, El Calafate)
(El Chalten)
And once we reach Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world,
we'll head onto see the Lighthouse at the End of the World.
We'll get to see Argentina from head to toe.
We'll be traveling 7,000km for 2 weeks.
It's going to be a long journey,
and we're going to be surrounded by Mother Nature.
1, 2, 3.
We took a plane from Incheon, and it took us 12 hours...
to get to our stopover, Frankfurt.
But we're not even halfway there.
We took a short break at the airport.
And after that,
we took another 14-hour flight.
That's when we could finally see Buenos Aires outside the window.
(Filmed by Jae Hong)
It's been 30 hours since we departed from Korea.
And finally, we arrived in Argentina,
the other side of the Earth.
(Day 1: November 30, Buenos Aires)
(Buenos Aires International Airport)
- How long were we on the plane? - We spent an entire day flying.
Did it last about 25 hours?
No, it was more than that.
It took us 12 hours to get to Frankfurt.
We waited for 4 hours, and our next flight lasted 14 hours.
(Incheon to Frankfurt: 12 hours, Frankfurt to Buenos Aires: 14 hours)
It took us almost 31 hours.
- It's really far away. - Where do we need to go?
Where do we exchange our money and get the SIM card?
- Is it outside? - Yes, let's go outside.
We might find something once we pass the gate.
(They're going to exchange money and buy a SIM card outside.)
- Game start. - Game start.
- This is going to be fun. - Let's have fun.
(Let's have fun.)
It's time for the three of us to explore Argentina...
and see what it has in store of us.
Let's start this trip with a relaxed mind.
I can't wait to go outside.
You guys, I'm nervous.
(Screaming)
(What's this noise?)
(They're trying to understand what's going on.)
Hello.
What's going on?
(Fans greet them unexpectedly.)
What's this?
(They call Seong Wu's name.)
(The airport suddenly turns into a meet and greet.)
- Seong Wu. - Seong Wu!
Please, please!
- Hello. - Hello.
Seong Wu!
- Ong! Ong! - Hello.
- Ong! - Hello.
(The fans follow them like magnets.)
- No one expected this. - I know. I'm so startled.
How are we going to...
We won't be able to exchange our money here.
What are we going to do? Can we do it somewhere else?
Do you think we can do it here?
(Things don't go as planned from the very beginning.)
Will we be able to exchange our money at all?
Are we going to keep going?
- Well... - Should we just exchange our money?
I didn't expect this place to be so packed.
The girls who greeted us...
were fans in Argentina who were into Korean culture.
On top of that, they were shooting a live show on social media.
(Their chaotic entrance was broadcasted live on social media.)
First, let's just head to our lodging.
- The lodging? - Yes, that will be better.
- What about our money? - I don't think we can do it here.
- Right? - Yes.
If we stay here along with this huge crowd,
someone might end up getting hurt.
So we borrowed money from the staff...
so we could head to our lodging.
Hello. Excuse me. Where is...
- the taxi? Taxi. - Taxi?
- Go to the right. - Oh, the right?
- Go straight? - Yes.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - We already reserved our room,
so we'll easily be able to get there once we grab a cab.
- Do you need a taxi? - Yes, we need a taxi.
Hello. Hi.
We want to go to Lavalle.
Okay.
(The taxi driver suddenly comes out.)
(He seems a little peculiar.)
Thank you.
(They load their precious bags.)
(They wave goodbye.)
(They also wave goodbye with them.)
(He printed out some useful Spanish terms.)
Good morning.
(He shyly says hello.)
Tango. Buenos Aires. Tango.
- Yes, tango. - Tango.
(The taxi driver suddenly starts to sing.)
(As they receive a warm welcome from their South American fans, )
(they head to the city center of Buenos Aires.)
I was so startled by all those people at the airport.
Yes, I was so shocked.
I thought this was going to be a quiet trip.
- I didn't know how to react. - I know.
(They had quite a noisy entrance.)
Your bag is very big.
So you probably didn't know that your bag hit me.
But it slightly hit me, so my sunglasses were like this.
Yes, I remember.
I was so startled by all the fans.
- So I figured we should leave... - Exactly.
- for everyone's safety. - Right.
It's okay.
(Along with the cool breeze...)
I guess it's a little different here.
(They're trying to get a grasp of the situation again.)
Is he honking at a stranger?
Welcome to Argentina.
(He honks to greet their visit.)
Is this even allowed?
(Flustered)
(Honking)
What is going on?
(The driver welcomes them with a honking ceremony.)
- What is this? - Is this even allowed?
This is so shocking.
This is fun.
Welcome. Welcome to Argentina.
- Welcome. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Okay. - Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
(Something grabs Jae Hong's attention.)
YouTube... Why?
He opened YouTube while driving.
(What will he do this time?)
(And a song resonates.)
Hello.
(Setting the camera along with the song)
This is for you.
(Photographed by Ha Neul)
("Garganta con Arena" by Cacho Castana)
He opened YouTube to play this song for us.
That's why he opened YouTube.
(His concert wasn't over yet.)
(I sing with a bump in my throat)
(I hear sadness in your voice, and Malena didn't sing)
(He sings a tango song...)
(as if he's welcoming them to the land of tango.)
(Engrossed in the song)
As soon as we got out of the airport, the girls welcomed us.
And the driver sang us a tango song with no questions asked.
The intense welcome from the locals we met for the first time...
chases away the built-up fatigue from the long flight.
I have a good feeling about this trip from the start.
(Furiously cheering for the intense song)
Sing it!
- Sing it! - Thank you!
- Bravo! - Thank you!
The taxi driver is a bit crazy.
He's good.
Should we not shave while traveling here?
Should we?
After listening to this song,
- I kind of don't want to. - Should we keep this going?
You know what? I'll skip shaving.
(The explosive melody makes him want to be a beast.)
The spider.
(At that time, the driver on the motorcycle makes a gesture.)
- Sir, what does this mean? - What does this mean?
- Good? Very good? - Very good.
- Very good? - Very good.
- Good. - I see. Yes.
- Good. - Good.
Okay.
(Putting that into use right away)
(A gesture from the driver makes them feel "good".)
- Very good. - Very good.
Very good.
While we're learning about this country little by little...
Evita.
The forever First Lady of Argentina, Evita, welcomes us...
into the downtown of Buenos Aires.
She's the number one woman.
(He's serious.)
(Evita was the First Lady of Argentine President Juan Peron.)
(She was nationally beloved as the saint of the poor.)
I know what that is.
I've seen that in "Digimon Adventure".
They had to crush that tower.
- I saw all of the movies. - You did?
Don't you know an episode where they had to crush that tower?
- The one with the four guardians. - Right.
The symbol of the city seems somewhat familiar.
It's the Obelisk.
This is finally hitting me.
We are in Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires.
We are welcomed by a crowd of passionate locals.
It's the capital city of Argentina.
And Buenos Aires is the biggest city of the country.
"Buenos" means good. And "Aires" means air.
The city means good air.
The city with the name, Good Air,
is famous for its mild climate as it doesn't snow at all.
It's the Paris of Latin America. That's how romantic the city is.
The city was deeply influenced by European immigrants.
(The cultures of European immigrants are evident everywhere.)
Its influence is seen everywhere including architecture, art,
and food.
As the Latin and European cultures are mixed,
each region displays unique charms.
The tomb of Evita lies in Recoleta.
The street of artists, San Telmo.
The birthplace of tango, La Boca.
And the landmarks are located in Microcentro.
As it's the biggest city in Argentina,
there's a lot to eat and see.
We booked a place in the center of Buenos Aires, Microcentro.
And our place in Microcentro is even near the Obelisk.
If we're seeing the Obelisk,
it means that we're very close to our lodging.
My gosh, look at the streets.
It's amazing.
The street number here is 900.
- 900. - Okay?
- Okay. - Yes.
Yes.
Thanks to him, it was a fun ride.
(They had fun on their first ride thanks to the driver.)
We got everything, right?
- Okay? - Okay.
Okay.
- Bye. - Thank you.
- Bye. - Nice to meet you.
- Thank you. - Bye.
Bye.
We were able to arrive near the lodging safely.
Now, we just need to locate the place.
- Pizza Roma. - I was told to go into...
the building where Pizza Roma is.
- Inside the building? - Yes.
The owner of the place explained where it was located in a message.
So it's inside this building?
(He checks the message from the owner once again.)
Here's the message I received when I was in Korea.
It was just a long message in Spanish.
(A very long message in Spanish)
The white space is my phone screen. And the black lines are in Spanish.
I tried using a translating app, but I still have no idea.
(It's hard to understand the message even with the app.)
Since we didn't buy a SIM card yet, I can't check the map on my phone.
- Hey. - I think it's that building.
- We don't have access to Internet. - Right.
Why don't we show this message in Spanish to a local...
- and ask for help instead? - Let's do that.
- That's better, right? - How about we ask him?
- Hello. - Hello.
Help.
(Even a local has a hard time with this long message.)
Where can we find the house at this address?
900.
Come.
Okay.
Seong Wu. It's all good now.
Seong Wu. Seong Wu.
- 900. - Here?
- Here. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - So this is the place.
- I see. - 900. This is the place.
I see.
(They easily found their place with the locals' help.)
- Salsa. - Salsa?
- Thank you. - Salsa.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Come on.
Let's go in.
Luckily, the door was open.
We don't even have Internet. We found the place thanks to them.
In Korean, it said to come into the building for Pizza Roma.
- It was mistranslated, right? - Right.
All right. We safely came into the building.
Now, we need to look for...
Ha Neul, which floor is it though?
You have to consider that this was...
- poorly translated. - Okay.
There are so many numbers here and there.
So which floor is our lodging on?
20...
Wouldn't it be on the 20th floor if it begins with 20?
(But it's obvious there's no 20th floor.)
Would it be a room on the 20th floor?
I don't think we can figure out the floor number.
Wait. What does this mean?
"There's a set of keys for the door on the first floor by the street."
If it's the door on the first floor,
didn't we just pass through it?
It's like getting a hint from an escape room.
Where's the box?
Where's the box for the key?
"The first floor by the street".
- The key box on the first floor. - Let's go down.
Let's check how we can come back in before we go out,
- so we can come back in later. - Right.
- We should figure it out first. - Yes.
But this...
(The door on the 1st floor by the street is...)
(You need the key to leave the building.)
We need the key to leave the building?
(You need the key to leave the building.)
So we need the key now.
I get it. We can't even open it from the inside without a key.
We are locked in.
(They are desperately looking for the key.)
Are you looking for the key box?
(Checking the walls thoroughly)
I'm sure the box should be here somewhere.
All right. Look around to see if there's a key here.
Wait, it's right here!
- The key box. - Right. The key box.
But I don't think that's the box.
I think that's a mailbox.
(I see.)
Hold on. You can't open that door.
(The lady coldly closes the door. Who is she?)
Who is this lady? Why did she close the door?
Is she the building manager?
Let's follow her.
(She seems to be the building manager, so they follow her.)
That's a unique-looking and old elevator.
What fascinates me is that it doesn't make any noise.
(The old elevator shows up.)
- Is it coming down? - Yes.
(The old elevator shows up.)
Thank you.
She's telling us to get in.
Three people.
- So we got in. - But our bags...
I don't think it's big enough for three people. Wait.
- Hold on. - Ha Neul.
- Go up. - We'll go up first.
I see. It was on the sixth floor.
She pressed the button for the sixth floor as if it was nothing.
(They finally figure out the floor number for their place.)
Okay.
(Ha Neul, who's left alone, gets in the second elevator.)
My gosh, the elevator...
Can you hear anything? I don't hear anything.
How can an elevator be this quiet, going up?
You shouldn't touch it.
(Exclaiming in unison)
(Jae Hong and Seong Wu arrive first.)
- We're here. - Okay.
We're so close.
Once we get past this door, we'll see our place.
Great. Let's stay calm.
The passcode is the four-number digit in the message, right?
(Punching in the number from the message)
There you go.
So this is our place?
- No? Is it someone else's place? - What?
No, this is our place.
Are we occupying the whole place?
You're here.
May I come in?
Yes. Make yourself comfortable.
- Would you? - My gosh.
I see. I get it.
Every room has a passcode.
So are we using this place by ourselves?
The bags... Do I keep my shoes on here?
- Jae Hong. - I see.
- I get it now. - Okay.
I still don't know how to open the main entrance.
- Me neither. - The one on the first floor.
I guess we just need to get a key for that.
What's this? Are we using all three rooms?
(They are unlocking all the locks with excitement.)
This place is so nice!
(They are unlocking all the locks with excitement.)
This place is awesome.
This is so nice.
(Their first lodging is spacious and clean.)
Pick the room you want.
Sure.
(They'll pick the room they want.)
- Jae Hong. - Yes?
(The building manager shows up again.)
- Where are you? - Here.
- This room is bigger. - I see.
- What about you? - You should take this room.
(She hands him something.)
- The door for the first floor. - Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Good.
Thank you.
(They obtain the key they've been looking for.)
- I see. We need this key to go out. - So she gives us the key.
Actually, everything was explained in this message.
As it was translated roughly, we had a bit of a hard time.
I can see the information now.
This is nice.
(Anyway, they arrived at their first lodging.)
It's charming how I can see the street from here.
(A view of the city unfolds.)
I'm greatly satisfied.
Finally, we're at our lodging. It's 10:28am now.
- Let's wash up and unpack. - Let's wash up.
(Humming the background music)
Let's see.
(They look around the rooms they picked before unpacking.)
(Ha Neul's room)
Look.
(Ha Neul's room)
(Humming the background music)
This is such a great song.
Did that ever cross your mind?
Right.
(Seong Wu's room)
(Jae Hong's room)
The GoPro fell on the floor
- It fell on the floor - It fell on the floor
We should tell the staff.
Why is it on the floor?
I wonder where this was installed at first.
One of the GoPros fell. What should we do with this?
(They go back to their rooms.)
I'll show you how comfortable the bed is.
(Ha Neul shows off his cushiony bed.)
It's so cushiony.
(Seong Wu takes out the camera and takes his first photo.)
(Photographed by Seong Wu)
(Photographed by Jae Hong)
Hello.
(Video calling with the producer of "Reply 1988", Shin Won Ho)
I'm in Argentina.
(He shows that he's arrived in Argentina.)
After a long trip, we unpacked and regrouped.
First, we must get a SIM card and exchange currency.
Everything seemed fascinating on our way here from the airport.
I wonder how fun it will be once we go out.
- It's here. It's been here. - What?
(Everything about this old elevator is intriguing.)
(Impressed)
Seriously.
It's so scary.
I'd be so scared if I press it without closing it. Right?
(They use the key for the first time.)
- Push it in. - Turn left.
Push it.
(Clenching his teeth)
Push it and turn left.
Let me try.
(Bumping into it)
(The unexpected second hardship)
It's funny from the get-go.
(The rescuer is back once again.)
Okay.
- Push it with your body. - Push forward?
And after that...
- It's open. - It's open.
- Okay. - That's it.
(They finally manage to open it.)
You're very beautiful.
(Thanking their rescuer with a sweet compliment)
[VIU Ver] jTBC E01 'Traveler S2 - Argentina' "They Don't Know Soccer, But Argentina Anyway" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Thank you.
- Should we go to Claro first? - To Claro.
(Heading out to buy the SIM card first)
I saw it earlier. We have to go that way.
That way?
This place is so exotic.
Between the buildings with balconies on every floor,
I see signs with words I cannot understand.
It's been a while since I've been in an unfamiliar place.
How nice to be here.
He found our place for us.
(He found their lodging a while ago.)
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
They say hello when your eyes meet.
- Right. - It's fascinating.
(Hello.)
- Isn't it so nice? - Right.
- I love the weather. - It's the best.
I love this kind of weather.
- It's neither hot nor humid. - Right.
It's neither hot nor humid.
The ground...
I can't believe how great the weather is.
Even the ray of sunshine feels light on this spring day.
Strolling around will be good enough.
(Strolling around on a sunny day will be good enough.)
Isn't this place so lively?
- Yes. - The street itself is lively.
(The streets in Buenos Aires are full of life.)
Let's exchange currency over there.
- Where? - It says, "Exchange".
- 3,000 dollars. - 3,000 dollars.
To Argentine pesos.
We changed our money for the trip to Argentine pesos.
(Exchanging dollars to pesos)
And we decided to manage our own budget.
Thank you.
And we visited a shop for a prepaid SIM card.
(Heading to the SIM card shop)
The SIM card that gives us 3GB of data for 3 weeks costs 5.7 dollars.
In Korean won, it costs about 7,000 won.
My hand tremors.
(My hand tremors.)
(Seong Wu is struggling too.)
You have to press it straight into the slot.
- Ha Neul was good at it. - Yes.
- Gosh, this hurts so much. - Hey.
(Gosh, this hurts so much.)
- I doubt that's how you do it. - Let me see.
You don't have to press it that hard. Hold on.
(Reliable Ha Neul takes charge.)
Goodness.
(It hurts.)
Goodness.
(Grabbing)
It's done.
- You're good. - Gosh.
Thank you.
The pin isn't hard anymore.
Hey, it's so fast. The Internet is so fast.
It's fast.
I looked up Seong Wu.
(He looks up the youngest member, Seong Wu.)
- It's fast. - Here.
It's all done. We did it.
- Are you getting messages? - Yes.
The local currency and mobile data.
We have everything we need now.
We'll look around the birthplace of tango, the pride of Argentina,
La Boca.
And we'll have a taste of the dish the locals love.
Today, we'll get to know Argentina, an unfamiliar city for now.
(Today, we'll get to know Argentina, an unfamiliar city for now.)
I really like it here.
I think our lodging is in the perfect location.
- Right. - It's right in the center.
- We can walk everywhere. - We can go everywhere on foot.
(Glancing)
(Photographed by Seong Wu)
Nice.
(Photographed by Seong Wu)
(The older members are waiting for the youngest to take photos.)
Did you take a cool photo?
Yes.
You look cooler than the scenery photos you're taking.
Who will take photos of you?
(Who will take photos of you?)
I take countless photos of people.
But when I edit the photos, I realize there are no photos of me.
Right.
(Taking a photo)
(Photographed by Ha Neul)
I'll take photos of you.
(The good-deed generator will be his photographer.)
Seong Wu, stand over here.
(Jae Hong joins in and takes photos of Seong Wu.)
(Photographed by Jae Hong)
(Photographed by Ha Neul)
Seong Wu, what a view.
(Seong Wu, what a view.)
(Photographed by Seong Wu)
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
(Now, they make gestures to say hello first.)
(They come face to face with the Obelisk.)
- Straight? - Is it that way?
- We'll cross. - We can go straight.
With the Obelisk,
it's easier to find directions. We can mark that as the center.
Right.
The landmark of Buenos Aires, the Obelisk stands on this street.
The street is called July 9 Avenue.
(July 9 Avenue)
After being colonized,
Argentina won independence from Spain.
It's named after their independence day.
The avenue extends from north to south in the city.
It's the widest avenue in the world.
It's 144m in width.
To cross 20 lanes on both sides,
you have to walk about six crosswalks.
The Obelisk is in the center.
It was built to commemorate 400 years...
since the founding of the city.
The long road and tall tapering monument...
became symbols of Buenos Aires.
(Photographed by Ha Neul)
(Photographed by Seong Wu)
Is that yellow bus for the city tour?
I think so.
- Right? - Yes.
"Let's go, Buenos Aires".
I think this is it.
To get to La Boca,
we bought tickets for the city bus tour.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
For transportation and touring around this big city,
this is the best way.
- Does it take one hour? - One hour?
(Falling)
Flowers are falling.
A flower just disappeared.
(I caught one.)
(Photographed by Seong Wu)
(Brazilian rosewoods bloom only during this season.)
(Ha Neul takes a photo of Seong Wu secretly.)
You caught me.
Here we go.
(While they take photos, the bus departs.)
(Marveled)
(From the bus, they see the city colored with purple flowers.)
It's no wonder that this city is called...
Paris of Latin America.
Everywhere in the city,
there are many buildings with European architecture.
The buildings look so beautiful.
Time would fly just by looking at the buildings.
That's just...
From the pink Casa Rosada...
to The Thinker by Rodin.
We also passed the mural of Evita.
(Mural of Evita)
We traveled a long time from the city center to the southeast.
The colors on the street became more diverse.
(The colors of the street and walls become more diverse.)
Did we arrive?
- I think so. - This street is so beautiful.
I think we're almost there.
It looks unique.
(The bus stops where it's crowded.)
Is this La Boca?
La Boca.
It's a city full of tango and romance on every street.
La Boca is close to a river that's as big as the sea.
It used to be a major harbor in Buenos Aires.
In the 19th century, poor emigrants...
from different European countries...
came through this harbor to settle in Argentina.
A new history started from the tip of their fingers.
Most immigrants worked as laborers at the harbor.
They built houses with leftover steel from making ships.
They used leftover paint to paint their walls and roofs.
The colorful houses make La Boca beautiful.
Ironically, that's how Caminito was built.
(Built based on immigrants' poverty and hard labor)
Tango is loved by everyone...
all over the world, and it was originated here.
To forget their homesickness...
and difficult lives,
European immigrants hugged each other and danced.
Their sorrowful dance became tango.
Today, on every street in La Boca,
you can easily see people dancing the tango.
Look over there.
What is this place?
(La Boca looks unique starting at its entrance.)
It looks like a street for artists. My goodness.
Maradona and Messi.
(Argentinian soccer players, Maradona and Messi)
(Lionel Messi)
As a place where tango originated,
there are many small tango performances.
(People enjoy dancing the tango at outdoor cafes.)
(Marveled)
(He even takes off his sunglasses.)
When I see legs that move faster than the passerby,
I can't help but stop.
- Shall we watch the tango here? - Here?
Okay.
Is there any coffee...
at this restaurant?
Iced coffee?
- Iced coffee? - Yes.
- They look just like the drawing. - I know.
Did someone draw them?
(The tango dancers and the mural look very similar.)
It gave me goosebumps.
Her legs and feet.
(Swinging)
- Her kicks look amazing. - It's amazing.
As we're falling in love with tango,
the host shows her interest in us.
Are the three of you singers?
Singers?
- No. - Singer.
(They point at him as the singer.)
Singer.
(The singer stays silent without answering.)
- If I say that I'm a singer, - She'll make you sing.
- I might have to go up. - She'll make you.
It'll get complicated.
Then you have to sing.
She might ask.
(The host beckons them.)
Me?
Hurry.
(Ha Neul gets picked out of nowhere.)
Is she telling me to come?
- Please come here. - Please.
- Come? - Yes.
No dance.
(He agrees to get on stage as long as he doesn't dance.)
- Hello. - Hello.
- This foot is in the front. - Here?
This foot is in the front.
- The other foot. - This one?
Give me your hand. Do you want to put it down?
- Give me your hand. - Yes?
Okay.
(Placing her leg)
(He gets stiff.)
(La Boca's amazing photo)
(He looks away.)
- Okay. - Thank you.
Come on.
(Filmed by Jae Hong)
Hello.
- Stop? - Yes.
Oh, thank you.
(The host makes someone else come up.)
Please come.
- What? - What do we have to do?
(The atmosphere makes them go up on stage.)
(What will happen to the three travelers on stage?)
(They start to dance as a group.)
(Ha Neul dances with the host.)
(She passes the dance to Jae Hong and Seong Wu.)
Do you dance?
What do I do?
(Turning)
(Seong Wu twists his pelvis quite well.)
(He clenches his jaw and leads his partner.)
(The singer starts to enjoy being on stage.)
(He leads his partner freely.)
(He passes the turn to Ha Neul.)
My goodness.
(Jae Hong realizes that he's next.)
(Ha Neul improvises his tango movements.)
(Dragging)
(Hiding Jae Hong is dragged out.)
(Jae Hong gets serious and follows the steps.)
Thank you.
(Their first tango performance ends with applause.)
I thought I was good at dancing,
but making eye contact...
and dancing with someone is completely different.
In front of an unfamiliar audience,
I followed the dancer's hands...
and danced the tango for the first time.
We could be courageous because we were three.
Isn't this breakaway possible because we're traveling?
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
The tango...
- Gosh. - The tango left me in a daze.
It was amazing.
I never dance.
Seong Wu is the only one who knows how to dance.
I'm terrible at dancing.
It was so much fun.
(They feel the charm of the tango with their entire body.)
Shall we go up to the bridge?
That sounds good.
I remember...
seeing this view in the movie "Happy Together".
Is that railroad bridge what I think it is?
(The railroad bridge reminds Ha Neul of something.)
Is this railroad bridge the one in "Happy Together"?
(Confused)
From this angle, it does look like that bridge.
(They passed it without coming to a clear conclusion.)
"Happy Together".
Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung Chiu-wai were a couple in the movie.
"Happy Together" was directed by Wong Kar-wai.
The movie takes place in Argentina.
It's a story of a couple's love...
and their breakup.
After our flight today,
we're walking in Argentina.
How do you feel, Jae Hong?
(Thinking hard)
(Singing)
(The theme song from "Happy Together"...)
(describes how they feel.)
Very good.
- Very good. - Very good.
Did Tony Leung Chiu-wai play Yiu-fai?
- Yiu-fai? - I think it was Po-wing.
Po-wing. We still remember their names.
When I entered college for drama and film,
it was the first movie recommended by my professor.
I was shocked after watching "Happy Together".
Was it your first movie after entering college?
I watched it in 2008.
I said, "What is this?"
Then I found the uncut version of the movie.
I watched it again.
It includes scenes where the couple makes love.
The movie is much longer.
I remember watching it.
What?
- Really? Wait. - Yes.
Where is it?
(Is it the railroad bridge from the movie?)
- Right. - I see.
- Yes. - This is it.
- This is it. - Right.
(The railroad bridge where they're standing by)
Isn't it also in the scene where they're on the phone?
After the payphone scene.
- I can't remember. - There's a scene...
where they go out to exercise on a cold day.
Tony Leung Chiu-wai catches a cold.
- Isn't it this place? - Don't they come back...
- on an overpass? - That's it.
I think it's this place.
Tony Leung Chiu-wai's house was in La Boca.
It's found everywhere in the movie.
(La Boca can be seen everywhere in "Happy Together".)
We remember such short scenes so clearly.
Good movies always leave us clear traces.
"In the Mood for Love" was...
I know. It's amazing.
I wanted to go there after watching it.
I wanted to get on a plane and go.
I went to that restaurant.
Which one? The one in "In the Mood for Love"?
Where he ate either steak or pork cutlet with Maggie Cheung.
It was a restaurant...
with blue plates.
It was closed for good.
It was? Really?
It was closed. I was very sad.
Since we love movies,
visiting places in famous movies is fun.
Isn't it exciting?
Shouldn't we take a photo here?
My mom will scold me if I take photos like this.
(Photographed by Ha Neul)
She says that it's bad.
When I look at photos on my mom's phone,
some photos look like this.
She took them by mistake.
She took a photo by mistake while opening something.
How else can I take a photo with that in the background?
In 10, 9...
It will look like the Hangang Railway Bridge.
I think it worked.
Let's take one more.
(Their first night in Buenos Aires)
It's the night after a busy day.
Unlike us,
people in Argentina start their dinner around 9pm.
We plan to taste their favorite dish in the late evening.
We found a tasty restaurant that we could walk from our place.
(A restaurant near their lodging)
It's very famous for...
- asado. - Asado.
Asado.
It looks sophisticated inside.
Asado.
Seasoned with salt, it's grilled with charcoal for a long time.
It's a famous Argentinian dish.
Asado started with gauchos who herd cattle on the plains...
as they grilled meat.
Depending on the meat, it's skewered on a metal frame...
or it's cut and roasted on a grill.
Anything including beef, mutton, pork can be grilled.
Asado is different...
because it's cooked with a slow-burning fire for a long time.
It may not seem impressive since it's not marinated.
However, the flavor comes from the meat itself.
(The secret is in the meat itself.)
The population in Argentina is 45 million.
There are 54 million heads of cattle.
There are more cows than people.
One-fifth of the country is grassland.
The many cows in the vast grassland...
graze and lead healthy lives.
As a result, people can buy good quality meat for cheap.
They cook asado and share it with the people they love.
Asado is loved by everyone in the country.
It's not just a dish.
It's the sharing of their hearts, and it's part of their culture.
I wanted to come to a place like this.
(The asado restaurant is packed with customers.)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(The asado is being cooked in a big brazier.)
- I think asado will be the best. - Right?
I think this is the set menu.
- It looks like it's assorted. - Is it assorted?
It's for 2 or 3, or 4 or 5 people.
Let's get the first asado.
One T-bone steak.
Shall we also order a salad?
Otherwise, we will look like we only eat meat.
Right.
- Hello. - Hello.
- One T-bone steak. - One.
And this set.
- One salad. - Salad?
- Yes. - Two options.
- Two options? - Tomatoes.
Isn't it garnish?
Aren't these two side menus...
next to the steak?
How about onions and potatoes?
- That sounds good. - Okay?
Onions and potatoes.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Even choosing a dish is hard work.
- There are so many dishes. - I know.
(As they wait for the asado...)
- Cheers. - Cheers.
(They drink to celebrate their first day.)
Hello, Argentina.
When you were young,
didn't you hear this a lot?
If you dig down deep in Korea, you'll end up in Argentina.
I didn't hear that.
Because it's on the other side?
- I see. - I heard that often.
The time difference is exactly 12 hours.
When it's morning, it's evening over here.
It feels like we're in the world of the unknown.
After hearing what you said,
it sounds believable.
If we dig down deep in Korea, we'll end up in Argentina.
It's somewhat...
(Their first dish arrives.)
- This is unexpected. - Salad.
- I think it's the salad. - Onions.
- They're onions and potatoes. - Onions and potatoes.
- Do we just get these two? - They just put them together.
(How does their salad of potatoes and onions taste?)
(Impressed)
- Is it delicious? - Is it impressive?
(The taste is impressive indeed.)
It's not seasoned at all.
- There's no salt either. - There's nothing.
(It's just potatoes and onions.)
(It's a healthy taste which didn't allow any seasoning.)
Right?
The waiter must've thought we were weird.
"These guys have such an unusual taste."
"They want to mix this together?"
(They want to mix this together?)
Right? I bet we're the only ones doing this.
Let's sprinkle a little bit of salt.
Add a little more.
(They take special measures to revive the salad.)
- Should we ask for some mayo? - I know.
- Should we? - Then...
let's mash a boiled egg too.
- And mix them together. - We can mix it with this.
A few cucumber slices too.
(They decide to enjoy the natural tastes of ingredients.)
I'm looking forward to the T-bone steak.
T-bone steak?
(Grilled brisket roll)
(Chicken)
(Baby pork ribs)
(Calf ribs)
(Lamb meat)
(All these are included...)
(in asado.)
(And T-bone steak)
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- What's all this? - It's a lot.
(Perfectly cooked T-bone steak)
(Filmed by Ha Neul)
It's the insert shot.
(Filmed by Ha Neul)
What should I eat first?
I don't know what I should start with.
What should I eat first?
(They start with calf ribs, the most famous asado.)
It's crispy on the outside.
(It's crispy on the outside and moist on the inside...)
(because it has been cooked for a long time.)
(Gulping)
Medium rare.
Jae Hong.
- Is it good? - Did you eat it without any sauce?
I ate it with this sauce, and it's amazing.
I should try eating it plain.
Isn't it so good?
(The taste of Argentinean beef makes them lost for words.)
- Very good. - Very good.
(Very good.)
Very good.
This is the best.
It's unbelievably good.
- This is... - It's crispy.
(Seong Wu has fallen for the calf ribs.)
(He shares some with Jae Hong.)
- You should eat too. - Okay.
Thank you.
What's with this asado?
It's like grilled cartilage.
It also feels like top-quality pork trotters.
Right?
- Yes. - When it's beef.
- I love pork trotters. - Really?
- This is so tender. - It's tender?
(It's tender like top-quality pork trotters.)
I think this is chicken.
(Chicken)
I think so too.
(He wonders what to eat.)
How do you like this one?
(It's fun to pick what meat to eat.)
Seong Wu, how do you like this one?
It's good.
- What is this? - What's that?
That seems like beef.
It's beef tied together.
(They rolled beef brisket and grilled it.)
Thank you.
This meat is like my mom's jangjorim from the past.
Charcoal-grilled jangjorim.
(It tastes like charcoal-grilled jangjorim.)
You're right.
This one might be fantastic.
(Jae Hong shares a piece to each member.)
- Thank you. - Gosh.
Enjoy.
What is this?
It's so tender.
It's tender, but crispy. How should I describe this?
What is this?
Ribs?
- Ribs. - Isn't it like baby pork ribs?
- Right. - Because it's tender.
I guess it's baby pork.
- I guess so. - Yes.
It's so tender and fragrant.
(It's tender, fragrant, crispy, and juicy!)
The juice...
There was a reason why we shouldn't miss out eating asado.
I love it.
Why don't we eat asado for 15 days?
(Why don't we eat asado for 15 days?)
It's glossy and brilliant.
I can tell it's extraordinary just by feeling...
the quality of meat through my fork.
I can't help raise my thumbs up.
As soon as the crispy skin touches my teeth,
the savory grease and juice spread inside my mouth.
This is the epitome of crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
It melts away only after chewing a few times.
I miss its taste already.
I can't help but smile.
Argentinean food is this delicious?
No wonder why they are full of excitement.
I won't miss out on asado from the rest of our trip.
What should we do tomorrow?
What should we do?
We've got to go to the San Telmo Market.
Doesn't it open in the evening?
- It opens once a week. - Oh, the afternoon?
- Every Sunday. - Yes, Sunday.
Let's go there at 3 or 4pm and look around the place for 3 hours.
Look around and...
- What should we do? - Why don't we...
travel alone before then?
- Separately? - Yes.
Seong Wu said he wanted to take photos.
You should go skydiving tomorrow then.
(Skydiving?)
You should go skydiving tomorrow then.
(Skydiving?)
(Skydiving)
Buenos Aires is famous among tourists in the world...
for their cheap skydiving.
You might think it's out of the blue,
but what I wanted to do the most in Argentina...
It's skydiving.
It's one of my top bucket list items.
I'm determined to go skydiving.
I asked the others just in case.
Will you do it with me?
I'll think about it there.
I can tell you here.
Do it alone. I can't do it.
Sorry.
(I see.)
I'll take cool pictures of you.
I thought...
- Like this. - He might look tiny.
I expected they would join me.
No one died ever since its opening.
Then did anyone suffer from critical injuries?
(Then did anyone suffer from critical injuries?)
Such imagination stops me from doing it.
When you said no one died,
I imagined...
I could become the first.
- It's horrible. - I know.
It's something you should do it at least once in life.
I'll think about it when we get there.
They say you have to be lucky to be able to do it.
You'll be able to do it.
For sure, this time.
- I really want to do it. - I'm sure you can.
This is at the top of my bucket list.
You can get it done.
Have you given it some thought?
(Now that they're in Argentina)
About what?
Even at the world's best bungee jumping spot, he didn't jump.
I won't do it.
(Back in 2016 before bungee jumping at Victoria Falls)
(I'll root for the members.)
(He gave up even after traveling all the way to the falls.)
I'm very imaginative.
(Major reason for disqualification: Highly imaginative)
- Right. - I've calculated the cases.
Didn't they all end with dying?
Goodness.
Skydiving isn't dangerous.
That's...
You haven't done it.
(Vague certainty of someone who hasn't done it)
You haven't done it.
- And you say it's not dangerous? - I mean...
- What are you talking about? - No.
That's not it.
No one would regret it once they experience it.
Are you being swayed? Or are you just pretending?
I'm firm on this.
Then why did you pretend that you were going to consider it?
I'll give it some more thought.
I'll take that into serious consideration.
- I don't think I'd regret it. - To be honest,
I do want to try skydiving.
But I want to do it somewhere else, not in Argentina.
I just want to try it somewhere else that's not here.
This is just my honest opinion.
- I mean it. - Where?
- I'm being serious. - So where?
I feel like there's a better place for skydiving.
But I'm worried about you jumping alone.
You can just go for it since you want to so badly.
(He's going to hold back his worries for Seong Wu.)
I'll join you in whatever you're doing...
right after jumping.
Only if you can make it back to us.
I hear the skydiving is around 1pm or 2pm, so...
Only if you can make it back to us.
- You may not be able to. - What do you mean?
What do you mean by that?
(Holding Ha Neul's hands tight)
- What do you mean by that? - Nothing.
Do you really have to jump?
- Do you absolutely have to? - I'll come back, I promise.
- Do you have to skydive? - I'll come back!
(Are the three really set on going and not going skydiving?)
Isn't this one good? It's Seong Wu.
It looks nice.
(Photographed by Jae Hong)
I have the best photo of Ha Neul from earlier.
This looks aesthetic.
It looks like an old Hong Kong movie.
(Photographed by Jae Hong)
We finished our first day on the other side of the Earth...
by looking through the photos we took of each other today.
(Photographed by Seong Wu)
By the end of the day, our photo galleries were filled...
with photos of each other and our memories.
(Photographed by Ha Neul)
No matter how many times I've gone on a trip before,
the first day always seems to look like this.
We count awkwardly in a new language,
try to find our way through the unfamiliar streets,
and see all things unexpected.
We're clueless, awkward and a little amateurish,
but I still get excited thinking back to the day,
because there were people who laughed with me.
I don't know what awaits for us tomorrow,
but what I know is that anything can happen.
And that makes my heart flutter.
(The preview of the next episode will be revealed soon.)
I feel like we've become one with nature.
(A chill morning on the second day in Buenos Aires, Argentina)
(What's so pretty?)
(The park is so pretty.)
(In just a day, they've become so fluent in Spanish.)
(Will they succeed in communicating with gestures too?)
(Nope!)
(Looking away)
(In just six hours, they gave up on Spanish.)
(Jae Hong!)
(Where did Jae Hong disappear to?)
(They went to Messi's favorite restaurant to find him.)
(Our travelers are fulfilling their quota of one steak per day.)
This place is so good.
(Messi is too far away from Ha Neul.)
(You never know, he might know Yong Sik.)
(He wants to meet Messi, even if it's just in his dreams.)
(What?)
(Has Ha Neul met Yong Sik's fan in the Messi restaurant?)
(Bar Sur is taking travelers into the world of passion and tango.)
(That was such a cool performance.)
(Travelers are trying out tango once again.)
(Has Ha Neul fallen in love with the dancer?)
(And it's finally time to make reservations for skydiving.)
(I don't think I can.)
(I don't know what to do.)
(I hope the wind is too strong tomorrow.)
(The two travelers are not willing to change their minds.)
(I don't think they'll go skydiving with me.)
(Will the three travelers meet in the skies?)
(Traveler 2)
