(Episode 1697)
Hello, everyone.
I'm Shin Hyunjun and this is Entertainment Weekly.
Last week, Russia was chosen to host the world cup.
Our first opponent will be Sweden.
Many people are telling me to grow my hair out.
They want me to go onto the field so that in June,
the Swedish team will mistake me for Zlatan.
They say they'll pass to me and we'll win.
I think our team will win anyway.
We're rooting for all the national team athletes.
But if the people and the team want it,
I'll grow my hair and go to Russia.
Sorry.
Yoon Jiyeon and Kim Taejin will share the first story
for Entertainment Weekly this week.
We met Kim Raewon, Shin Saekyeong, and Seo Jihye,
the stars of "Black Knight: The Man Who Guards Me."
They're both sweet and cutthroat in the drama,
but they have pleasant chemistry in real life.
We'll see their interview soon.
First, we have This Week's Hot Clicks.
In celebrity news this week,
Seo Inguk and Park Boram had dating news
and Huh Gak was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
Let's click on This Week's Hot Clicks.
I don't pay much attention to my health.
Huh Gak has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer
and is now having a rest period after surgery.
Huh Gak is loved for his deep emotions
and sentimental singing.
We received the news on December 4th.
His agency said he got the diagnosis on December 1st
and then had surgery.
Thankfully, it was discovered at an early stage,
so they say he should recover quickly.
Huh Gak posted on social media
to calm his worried fans.
(I'll get better and bring you great music)
If I do my best and do what I prepared,
I'll most likely have good energy.
I'll sing the best I can.
We hope you recover quickly
and bring us great music again.
On the evening of December 4th,
an apologetic letter was released
by none other than...
(Letter was written by SHINee's Onew)
I'm so sorry.
SHINee member Onew.
The apology is for his sexual harassment scandal.
It started in August.
At a club in Gangnam, Seoul,
Onew was arrested for allegations of
touching a woman's body.
His agency said it was unintentional contact and that
it was a misunderstanding,
and also the lawsuit was canceled.
However, criminal cases proceed regardless of
whether the victim sues or not.
The police recommended he be indicted.
He apologized after 4 months,
but his fans responses were still cold.
On November 27th, he had a photo shoot with other
artists from his agency and many said this
was his attempt to become active again.
Some fans said Onew should leave SHINee,
going as far as making a petition.
These fans aren't unconditionally supporting Onew.
We'll have to continue to wait and see
how his fans will react.

Come to me.
This news will warm up this chilly winter.
Seo Inguk and Park Boram are dating.
With his good looks and sweet voice,
Seo Inguk makes women swoon.
The woman who made him swoon is...
The always-pretty Park Boram.
We found out last Wednesday.
They had been dating for a year and a half.
It was quite a surprise.
They have a 7-year age difference and fell in love
through relying on each other through tough times.
They were both on the same audition program.
How many points did they get?
I can't count how many points you get.
To me, you...
Oh my god.
Boram and Inguk are ending 2017 on a warm note.
We'll keep rooting for your beautiful love.
We support you.
I'm with the stars of "Black Knight."
Kim Taejin is so handsome.
It's nice to meet you.
The interview with "Black Knight" stars Kim Raewon,
Shin Saekyeong, and Seo Jihye starts now!
Who's going to introduce it?
I don't think it's hard.
It's a fantasy melodrama.
Melodramas are heavy,
but it's about all the characters' lives and loves
over a long period of time.
- It's very fun. / - I see.
How was that?
Right, that was the best explanation ever.
I play Jeong Haera.
She's loved by Mun Suho.
I play Mun Suho.
He's the character who gives love.
I play Sharon.
I prevent their love.
She prevents it,
but I get love from both of them.
She interferes because she loves me so much.
That's a great role.
It really is. Just look at the poster.
Kim Raewon looks ecstatic in the poster.
(Kim Raewon is doing his greatest role ever)
You have a lot in common.
You've both worked with Raewon before.
They first met on the set of "Punch." (Source: SBS)
Don't come back. (Source: SBS)
It's more comfortable since we've worked together.
He's good to me.
He also gives me a lot of feedback.
Kim Raewon and Shin Saekyeong were in
"My Little Bride" 13 years ago.
How does it feel meeting him as an adult?
She treats me like a brother.
When we're outside.
They both do well.
I'm glad to have met them again.
It was great.
We found some things you have in common.
First is "Together, 57."
IQ?
No way...
- Experience. / - Correct.
We added up the years since your debuts.
- 21 years for Raewon. / - Let's not talk about this.
Shin Saekyeong started modeling young, so 20 years.
Seo Jihye has 16 years.
So it's 57 total.
We look old now.
I think it's because of Shin Saekyeong.
Since she started when she was 8 years old.
- Sorry. / - All right.
We have photos from your debuts.
They were good-looking even at debut.
That's a famous picture of Shin Saekyeong.
I was 9 years old.
She looks the same.
Kim Raewon was in school, right?
I should cut my bangs.
You look like an idol.
I was cool.
This is Seo Jihye's graduation photo.
Yes, college.
That's how she was when she debuted.
- I didn't have makeup on. / - Really?
School must've been tough.
Yeah, from being so popular.
It was photoshopped a bit.
They photoshopped it since I didn't wear makeup.
Now let's have a game with the "Black Knight" stars.
We prepared the Black Knight game.
We'll play it here.
1.
2.
3.
(Ah...)
That's how you do it.
- You know it, right? / - Yes.
Yes, okay.
- Do you know the Son Byeongho game? / - Yes.
Actors put a finger down.
Men put a finger down.
Kim Raewon in the lead.
Those with glasses put a finger down.
(Kim Taejin is on the brink)
Popular actors put a finger down.
Who would put a finger down for that?
But I'll put a finger down.
I can't decide.
I can put one down.
Kim Raewon put a finger down.
He was chosen.
Just have a sip.
It's a punishment drink.
He asks Shin Saekyeong to drink it for him.
Is this how you do it?
She will drink it and he has to listen to her wish.
What will she wish for?
Please make me sashimi.
I did that.
I want to eat the sashimi he makes.
He showed his culinary skills
on our show 3 months ago.
I like to fish.
What if he promises to if the show has high ratings?
If the show has high ratings,
he'll make sashimi for the viewers.
Good, good.
While dressed as a black knight.
(Super great)
- Okay. / - We can't wait.
Let's do an acrostic poem with "Black Knight."
Rock, paper, scissors!
- Sa. / - Sa.
I'll start you off. Heuk...
Sniffle...
A rough start.
This is fun.
I'm about to get angry. What are you doing?
That was great.
Seo Jihye?
Gi.
You've been waiting for it.
Sa.
- Please show it love. / - Okay.
Please show our drama lots of love.
Please give your love to "Black Knight."
Please spend this winter with "Black Knight."
Let's go, "Black Knight"!
The drama is great. Hope it does well!
I hope the show does great and
everyone enjoys Kim Raewon's handmade sushi.
Another personal wish is
that he makes it right here.
I hope he comes to the studio.
Then we can eat sashimi.
The next story is by Kim Saengmin.
First, we'll have Veteran.
The star today
is someone as hot as movies.
He's been in headlines for his award speech.
It's actor Jin Seongyu.
If you're wondering just how honest he is,
we'll let you know soon.
We went to Korea Military Academy for
the first time ever for School Attack.
We went with the girl group Red Velvet.
The dashing, young army men cheered
for Red Velvet in all kinds of ways.
The energy of the scene was like "Stage of Friendship."
- Let's check it out now. / - I can't wait.
This place is the home of men
who will lead the future of a unified Korea.
This is where the elite officers of Korea are trained.
The Korea Military Academy.
Welcome! It's your first time here, right?
Salute!
School Attack is here for the first time ever.
The stars today are...
Hello!
Red Velvet is here at the Korea Military Academy.
They're here to give energy to the tired students.
The girls are refreshing as vitamins!
They came back with "Peek-A-Boo."
Look forward to School Attack with Red Velvet today.
(School Attack - Red Velvet)
Happiness! Hello, we're Red Velvet.
Can you only say it that loud?
Can you only say it that loud?
The TA isn't a bad person.
Let's see your will to do it.
Are you confident?
We are confident!
I can't hear you!
Let's see your will to do it!
Are you confident?
We are confident!
We are confident!
Let's get started on Red Velvet's School Attack!
We'll raid the classroom first.
These dashing students have no idea
what's about to happen.
(The classroom is full of love for studying)
It's nice to meet you.
A stage of friendship for the end of the year.
I'm MC Popeye, Kim Taejin.
- Popeye... / - Pop-Taejin.
Five girls are here.
If the girl behind you is your girlfriend,
raise your hand.
- No way. / - Which is it?
I've looked for a girlfriend for three years.
- I think I finally found one today. / - You have.
- Everyone... / - Come out!
Open the door!
The girlfriends they were waiting for are...
Red Velvet!
As soon as this beautiful girl group entered,
the students were shocked and flustered...
How did this happen?
Are you sure this is your girlfriend?
Yes!
They'll dispel the awkwardness with a talk.
Say something to them using five syllables.
Join the festival.
"Join the festival."
Should I respond?
Only if you pay them.
Who's your ideal type?
"Who's your ideal type?"
My dream type is here.
They all think it's them.
Who thinks it's them?
Come on out.
Come to the front.
Why are you their ideal type?
A cadet is everyone's ideal type.
He even has dimples.
How amazing.
You do salutes. Can you check their salute form?
Definitely.
(Of course)
To the cadets.
Salute!
Please check it.
First, when you salute,
your index finger has to be at your eyebrow.
And your thumb must be bent so it's not visible.
It's a perfect salute if you bend it a bit.
This is a report on how to make a perfect salute.
Salute!
Please fix hers.
Just like I said, your finger must be at your eyebrow.
(The students gasp as he touches her hand)
Aren't you getting too physical?
Okay.
To the cadets.
Salute!
She's so cute! Full marks for fan service!
For Red Velvet's School Attack,
let's meet more cadets.
Let's check out their "Peek-A-Boo" performance first.
It must've been great.
They're so pretty.
("Peek-A-Boo" is the title track of their 2nd album)
The dance is good.
The cadets who watched Red Velvet perform...
- I want to be a cadet. / - Me too.
They seemed to have received a lot of energy.
The roar of the crowd was like "Stage of Friendship."
They must've been so happy.
Wow!
It's like when we perform to boost morale in the army.
- That feeling? / - Yes.
Let's warm up. What's the title of their new song?
The cadet with the glasses.
It's "Peek-A-Boo."
Is that right?
Yes!
Send a bullet of love!
Numerous cadets were hit with Red Velvet's
bullets of love and collapsed.
- I got hit too! / - You should avoid bullets!
Who can say all their names within 3 seconds?
The cadet over there. Start.
Seulgi, Yeri, Joy, Wendy, Irene.
(Pulled it off easily)
That was fast and exact.
Shoot a bullet of love at him as a reward too.
The cadets all coveted Red Velvet's bullets of love.
Does anyone want fanservice?
Act cute for us.
Who? Me?
She didn't want to shudder.
Red Velvet's cuteness.
Let's hear "Baby Shark."
("Shark Family" feat. Red Velvet)
This is my son's favorite song.
I didn't know this song would get such cheers.
Cute!
Let's get a hand.
Who has a talent?
Now it's time for them to respond
to the girl's refreshing cuteness.
(Swarming)
Many are coming up.
What's your talent?
An impression of Lee Seon-gyun catching mosquitoes.
(Bzzzzz)
What is that?
What is that?
(Perfect impression)
That's the first mosquito today.
He's good, right?
Red Velvet is at Korea Military Academy today.
They stole our hearts with a song we'd never heard.
Wendy, Seulgi, Joy, Yeri, and Irene.
There's no group more fantastic.
Hello, everyone.
Hello, everyone.
I'm SpongeBob.
After impressions that made Red Velvet laugh,
one cadet showed the rap he prepared.
(Even raps / SHOW ME THE CADET)
♪ I don't like red personally ♪
♪ But I do when the word "velvet" comes after ♪
(Lyrics were written just for Red Velvet)
Red Velvet couldn't help but be amazed
at the witty cadets.
He's good.
- Isn't he cool? / - That's how you do it!
I heard these two people have a special talent.
Please come to the front.
Who's going to hit it?
I'll hold it and he's going to hit it.
(Flustered)
Let's get started.
They're flustered.
The board-breaking begins. Red Velvet is watching.
Ten plates!
He's so manly!
Should we change roles?
How many can you break?
I can do twelve.
Two more than he did. Twelve.
Red Velvet is watching.
How will he do?
(I'll show how manly I am)
He succeeded but his expression says otherwise.
(Burst into laughter)
He keeps hiding his hand behind him.
How do you feel right now?
I feel great.
He'll be okay, right?
Happiness infected the school.
The cadets with wisdom, benevolence, and valor
showed their love for Red Velvet
in a wide variety of ways.
Let's take this mood and continue our interview.
That was so fun.
How was today?
They were all so witty and strong.
I felt like that's what it takes to join this school.
They were also so impressive.
When's the happiest you've been while in Red Velvet?
This moment right now.
They feel the same way.
Can you do an acrostic poem with the school name?
Yuk.
Korea Military Academy students.
Sa.
I love you.
Great.
I'm wondering...
Please always support us like you did today.
We are Red Velvet!
Red Velvet's School Attack gave them butterflies.
It was nice to meet you. The cadets were thankful!
(Entertainment Weekly - Kim Saengmin's Veteran)
(Tension is thick in the Veteran Investigation Room)
Do you know how terrifying this place is?
Don't you know who I am?
What's wrong with your face?
(Yelp)
I usually introduce the person at this point...
Do your best. Got it?
Ridiculous presence in Chungmu-ro!
With hair-raising acting as a villain,
he's the nightmare of the people.
In every role, he captivates everyone
with all of his different charms.
But he's a gentle crybaby off the screen.
Crybaby. (Source: SBS)
Veteran starts now!
I'm so curious.
(The real investigation begins)
Your name?
Jin Seongyu.
Profession?
Actor.
Age?
40.
40 years old, born in 1977.
He's the same age as So Jiseob and Won Bin.
Is Won Bin the same age as you?
I just found out as well.
I thought he was much younger than me.
What would your wife say if she knew
that he was the same age as you?
Wouldn't we get divorced?
(What is this sense of defeat?)
He's the most popular guy in Korea nowadays.
He started off on a competition variety show, but...
Why did you go on that first?
I was cast in it first.
That was our mistake.
Where are those two lines from your hairstyle?
My hair regrew since then...
Did you have those lines on that show?
Yes, I did.
That's why our ratings are dropping!
No, this is a new look.
Please introduce yourself in a fun way.
Hello, I know I'm not handsome,
but thank you for all the love.
Entertainment Weekly viewers, please support me.
Let's investigate your school days.
Where's your hometown?
Jinhae in Gyeongnam.
I used to hang out with my friends and exercise.
I liked exercising and ended up becoming an actor.
Whether a technician or a civil servant,
I wanted to be able to provide for my family.
We have evidence from his school days.
Hi-ya!
So that's what interested you.
No, I do like these.
You did this in middle and high school?
I did it a bit in middle school.
I laughed a lot
so it wouldn't seem like I was getting bullied.
I decided to work out.
I did Hapkido, Taekwondo, sword fighting,
boxing, Jeet Kune Do.
Please show us how you use this.
What if I get hit?
(Whoosh whoosh)
His skills haven't gotten rusty.
I don't remember.
You're so good I can hear the whoosh noises.
No, I'm not that good.
Were there any legendary fights in middle school?
I got into a 5-on-1 fight once.
I can't believe I'm talking about this.
It was a fight of words.
"What do you want?
I'll give you what you want.
In exchange, don't mess with me."
Someone told us you wanted to be a PE teacher.
I wasn't sure what to do since I didn't study well.
I thought being a PE teacher would let me
have fun with the students.
Instead, I followed my friend
and joined a small theater troupe in Jinhae for fun.
We weren't that warm in that small basement room.
I wanted to act and asked how I should proceed.
They said there was an acting-movie department,
so I asked to take the test.
He grew up seeing the sea.
On the endless sea of life,
the waves of his dream of becoming an actor
have crashed on numerous works.
What was your first movie?
My first movie was... I get confused.
- "The Good, the Bad, the Weird." / - I see.
That was a very small role.
They needed me urgently.
They chose me and I was put on set immediately.
- "Security stands over there." / - That kind of role.
You did a lot of small roles.
I'm sure that's why you're a shining star now.
How did you hold out for so long?
None of it was hard for me.
Sometimes I had financial difficulties, of course.
I got excited finding myself on screen.
Even if it was a small role.
That was much bigger than hardship.
After 12 years in Chungmu-ro,
you did your best work ever.
"The Outlaws."
Do you see me as a pathetic loser?
In "The Outlaws,"
he played the role of China-born Korean, Wi Seongrak,
imprinting his name in the viewer's minds.
He was incredible.
I did the audition while
I was filming "Namhansanseong Fortress."
I said I wanted to audition with the director.
I failed at first.
"Hey! Are you not going to do it properly?"
"Are you going to keep making excuses?"
After a week...
I asked if I could do another audition.
I prepared so much for that and went.
And the director said
I was 120% different than before.
The director was shocked.
He said I should play Wi Seongrak.
I had finally gotten a villain role.
Out of all my roles, I looked the best in that movie.
The secret to getting your greatest role ever! Ta-da!
(Ta-da!)
You just push yourself right in.
This is how you push it.
- It was an act of God. / - An act of God?
An act of God in my acting career.
I thought it would be too stereotypical.
A gangster with a shaved head.
I said I wanted to have long hair.
My character was made last.
My character's image wasn't released until later.
The director suddenly came and said to cut my hair.
He just said to shave it all off.
He filmed me getting my head shaved too.
I think it's better than long hair.
It kept getting shaved.
When I went into the dressing room,
all ten outfits that didn't look good before
all looked great on me.
I felt my image was complete.
That was the moment.
"The Outlaws." (Source: SBS)
Jin Seongyu!
That desperation and immeasurable truth
really touches our hearts.
Thank you so much.
I've gotten so much help over the past 40 years.
There are so many people I'm thankful for.
I'll continue to improve to be as good as those actors
who are so high up there in space.
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.
I didn't know my acceptance speech
would ever be like that.
I still haven't watched it.
The touching truth in that speech
was your wife and hometown friends.
My friends who said they'd pay for my nose surgery.
They said my nose looked like Caesar's from
"The Planet of the Apes."
Then he showed a side photo.
I didn't know why my nose was like that.
I'd wished I had a higher nose.
Would you do a parody of that speech
for an advertisement?
Or do you want to walk the lonely path of an actor?
I won't turn it down if they offer.
What did your wife say?
To get my act together.
That this is the beginning.
To not feel like I accomplished something.
I think what my mom said is correct.
"Seongyu...
One must be more humble with more experience.
Just as you've done, don't change.
Only the stage and the screen change."
What great advice.
We don't need many words to describe him.
He has a beautiful gaze.
We asked if he had any final words to put
in the last chapter of the book of his life.
(The closing line of Jin Seongyu's autobiography?)
While having fun with great colleagues
this is what I have become.
I've had a lot of fun.
You may call this a miracle,
but all the people that love the actor, Jin Seongyu,
don't feel that way at all.
We'll keep on cheering for you.
Investigation complete!
Complete!
We'll keep cheering for you.
Thank you.
- He's so cool. / - Thank you.

After fifteen seconds

I'll acknowledge it.

I'm sorry.
You didn't have to buy that bag.
You didn't have to dye your hair.
This bag looks too old.
You don't need this jacket.
You should've cut your hair short.
If you had saved on those things,
you could have a fruitful end of the year.

This song is No. 1 on Gayo Top 10 after 3 months.
(Kim Minwu reached the top within 3 months)
It's been so long.
(Became popular with the 1990 track "It's Just Love")
Thanks to high school friend Yoon Jongshin,
Kim Minwoo found his interest in music.
Through meeting top hitmaker Yoonsang,
he became a popular singer. (Source: MBC)
(Reached the top after just 3 months)
The winner for the best male rookie is...
Kim Minwu.
Don't they say singers follow their music?
Kim Minwu suddenly decided to join the army.
Yes.
(His popularity and service call came at the same time)
For his first night at the garrison,
would he have stared at the ceiling and sang?
Kim Minwu is #30.
#29 is Brown Eyes.
They're remembered warmly in the memories of those
who have or are currently going through youth.
They ranked 28th. It's Dongmulwon.
(#28 - Dongmulwon)
(Dongmulwon began with seven members in 1987)
It was formed by the decision of Kim Changwan.
Dongmulwon. (Hyeongyu, Giyeong, Gwangseok, etc.)
(Their name meant "locked in the confines of society")
Their music was soothing and could be counted on.
(The 1980s was a turbulent era)
They became a sanctuary for the youth,
receiving much love.
Their songs are all great.
(Dongmulwon represented the youth at the time)
Those who spent their youth with Dongmulwon...
(Sometimes shy confessions with "I'll Love You")
Do you remember the shy song "I'll Love You"?
(And sometimes memories of their first love)
Do you remember your first love?
(A rare group that had singers and songwriters)
Starting with the late Kim Gwangseok,
we'll keep rooting for Kim Changgi, Yu Junyeol,
and the rest, who have been together
for 30 years.
(Ballad singers Koreans Love - #28: Dongmulwon)
#27 is Yu Jaeha.
He was the keyboardist for the Cho Yongpil band
in college and started music through that.
He released his own album in 1987.
With his innate sentimentality,
the music world took note of him.
However, that was short-lived.
This debut stage became his final stage.
(His album became a posthumous work)
His sole album
is one of Korea's greatest albums.
His junior colleagues who all loved him
said this about him.
(25-year-old youngster Yu Jaeha)
(Your music is still a textbook to me)
(And I'm over 40 years old)
- #26 is Lena Park. / - She's a great singer.
#25 is TOY.
#24 is Kyuhyun.
#23 is Yoon Jongshin!
He debuted as a vocalist of 015B in 1990.
His agency CEO at the time said the following.
I remember what he told me.
You're underground. (Source: MBC)
Looking at a magazine...
My front teeth looked like they were in 3D.
(He was always teased for his looks)
(His beautiful voice earned him popularity)
Unlike his woodpecker-like visuals,
he received much love for his songs.
His songs were lyrical and beautiful.
He's really a dragon now.
(The writer and composer of numerous famous songs)
He's so good at singing.
He's the creator of so many hit songs.
He stayed active in music and entertainment
then had the greatest hit of his life.
He's so amazing.
(His album hit #1 on charts)
He hit #1 after 27 years.
It was the first time he hit #1 in his entire life.
Keep it up.
He's so good.
#22 is Choi Seongsu.
#21 is Davichi.
Then who's #20?
Who's the 20th most loved Korean ballad singer?
(Beep boop)
The top 100 ballad singers Koreans love
will continue next time!
I can't wait to see #1 next week.
And I hope great actors like Jin Seongyu
would be found through great movies.
The next story is by Kim Seunghye.
I went to the set of the new drama "Jugglers."
It was fun, befitting such a hilarious drama.
It'll be on soon.
Before that, we'll have Midnight Dinner Talk.
Today we'll talk about dramas
in the second half of 2017.
Let's check it out.
Over 40 dramas battled for viewers' love
in the second half of 2017.
Which ones made it into your hearts?
Let's go on a journey through these dramas.
It's December now.
We made it look like a year-end awards ceremony.
It's a bit shabby. What do you think?
The trophy is spinning in a lonely way.
If you'd told us, I'd have worn a dress.
I have nice cleavage.
Rumors say you have back acne.
What does that have to do with the show?
I'm showing my front half.
But you turn like this...
What a shame.
What dramas were there in this time period?
There were lots of different genres.
Different genres were popular.
Many said they'd fail in the past.
But now they're very talked about
and viewers are interested in them.
In the past, people would say "Boss," but now
they say, "Prosecutor," "Counsel," "Detective."
They say those a lot now.
There have been many large societal changes.
The government changed
and many people talk about the shadow government.
These dramas give those people some relief.
They feel vicarious satisfaction through it.
That's one of the reasons these dramas are so popular.
What do you think?
Shows that are combinations of variety and drama
seem to be popular these days.
"Borg Mom." (New drama of variety-drama)
Yes, "Borg Mom," and "Confession Couple."
In 2015, KBS released "The Producers" and that was
the first time the term "variety-drama" was used.
I really enjoyed that.
And KBS's new show "Confession Couple..."
(Fun and emotions all present)
We can see that Jang Nara
is still alive and well.
There are many elements to empathize with,
so it's a drama that's a big issue.
It's a multi-genre show.
The technical term is multi-genre.
You can just think of it as a smorgasbord.
"While You Were Sleeping" is a legal drama but
it has elements of fantasy and mystery. (Source: SBS)
And "Live Up to Your Name"
is a medical drama with fantasy elements.
The origin of that was "Gingko Bed."
"Gingko Bed" did all that?
- It's fantasy... / - But it's a mix of various genres.
But my movie "Killing Time" has those elements too.
It's not just in "Gingko Bed," but "Killing Time" too.
- Everything ends with "Killing Time." / - It's a mix.
- It doesn't have any CGI. / - It does.
And it has comedy, right?
Yes, monsters, comedy and seriousness.
(Monsters + thrills + CGI)
It was this movie.
I don't say this often...
I'll act crazy and go see it.
- Please watch it. / - I will.
The female characters are developing quickly.
"Woman of Dignity" had two female leads.
They showed their ability to push the drama forward.
"Avengers Social Club" is similar.
It's about three female leads
who get their revenge.
"Witch at Court" has almost all women.
Female characters are developing.
They are being cast
and they play pivotal lead roles.
Women's roles used to be about...
Girls with tough lives or
even the characters we called "harmful-to-others."
They had to get help from the male lead to succeed,
but now they take leading roles and
dream of taking their revenge.
I see that they are reflecting the change.
What drama was in a slump?
Those that relied on simple retro styles.
They pretty much all failed.
"Children of the 20th Century."
"Girls' Generation 1979."
That's because...
When we think of retro dramas,
we think of the "Reply" series.
"Reply" started on cable and
and it was a sensation
before it crossed over.
That feeling was hard to advance on non-cable.
We have to talk about viewer ratings.
What dramas had the highest ratings?
One that's still airing.
- "My Golden Life." / - The weekend drama.
("My Golden Life" is receiving lots of love)
She's so good at acting.
I don't want to meet and why are you making me?
Why...
Why are you getting into my life when it's all over?
Our pastor mentioned
"My Golden Life" during service.
I'm serioius.
The story is crazy.
The crazy thing is it's at its halfway point.
It's 50 episodes but they just passed episode 25.
But the viewership is already near 40%.
It's worth noting it's common subject matter.
It has a birth secret and a rich family, common topics.
But they're dealing with it in a fun, relieving way.
The casting caused a controversy at first.
Many thought it was too early for Park Sihoo
to make a comeback.
Shin Haesun is showing her acting skills,
but many were debating
if she could handle a lead role.
Those two weren't the top choice for being cast.
I heard they went to the agency and
told them the situation.
The result is important in the end.
From the point of view of ratings,
they're doing very well.
What's the formula for a high-rating drama?
We talked about "My Golden Life,"
but many are focusing on the pacing.
It has to develop quickly.
People will comment on it if it slows down.
Viewers are ravenous.
But moving too fast draws criticism too.
They can't take slow dramas.
They also need catharsis.
Refreshing lines.
Refreshing lines.
That's what makes it captivating.
We're talking about life and times of today,
but realism is important too.
In "Confession Couple..."
Korea's divorce rate is rising.
So that show makes many couples ponder
if divorce is an issue to be brought up so easily.
I think that's why it's such a big hit.
What scenes did you choose
as the best scenes?
One scene was narrated in "Confession Couple."
They might think we went on a short vacation.
And that all vacations are made to
return from and to love what you have more.
As you live, sometimes familiarity
makes us take things for granted.
You do? I don't.
I see...
Since he's lived much longer.
Much longer?
I mean married life.
Hey! Don't touch me.
- This scene is refreshing. / - He should get hit.
Here's my scene.
She acted so well.
It's from "My Golden Life."
She just learned of her birth secret.
Newbie actor Jung Haein acts so well.
He's standing next to Suzy
and Suzy is leaning on him.
He takes a picture of that shadow. (Source: SBS)
Then puts it as his phone background.
I thought he could make it big.
He could become like Kim Soohyun.
I thought that he would continue to improve.
What actors are very active
within the drama?
Yang Saejong in "Temperature of Love."
He's doing well as a supporting role.
Woo Dohwan in "Mad Dog" is doing great.
He was an unfamiliar face in that drama.
But he was so great at acting.
"Confession Couple" not only had Jang Nara and
Son Hojun but also Jang Kiyong, who won an award.
So lots of rookie actors
really stood out.
They must be happy they stood out as rookies.
Of course.
How would you sum up the dramas
in the second half of 2017?
Please leave a memo.
What do you all think?
See you next week on Midnight Dinner Talk.
His voice is so sweet.
A drama to break you out of your Monday blues!
A pro supporting secretary
and a cold-hearted boss meet in
this romance drama with a twist.
The film set was as warm and fun as the show itself.
Entertainment Weekly went to check it out.
Curious? Check it out right now!
The first person we saw was this guy.
He's working hard...
I mean, diligently practicing his lines.
Hello.
(Choi Daniel) Hello.
Would you like coffee or tea?
I'm fine. Get back to work.
If you need me for anything...
I don't.
They say that's different than your real personality.
I usually look around at other people.
Why are you laughing?
I feel like you're grumpy.
Really?
I think it's because of the glasses.
No, I just filmed a scene.
- So you're still in-character. / - Yes.
That makes sense.
They have very different auras.
I like the sweet Choi Daniel more.
We also met the other lead, Baek Jinhee.
Even during the intense filming, she stayed smiling.
Hello, Baek Jinhee.
- It's nice to meet you. / - You're so cute.
Thank you.
(A professional secretary for four years)
Their relationship got off to a bad start.
We can't wait to see how their story will develop.
I heard you went to secretarial school for the role.
I went with Kang Hyejeong and took classes.
And I asked other secretaries
for lots of tips and secrets.
(A pro secretary who gives tips to other secretaries)
Just like a pro secretary.
She helps other secretaries out with their problems.
Do you help friends with their problems often?
Not like consultations...
I just say what I think.
How do they react?
It goes in one ear and out the other.
You just get together and talk.
I just say my opinion.
It's not Director Hwang, it's Director Hwangbo.
This drama has other unforgettable leads.
It's Kang Hyejeong and Lee Wonkeun.
So we met all four of these leads.
Hello.
We're "Jugglers"!
Did you see what was aired so far?
Do you watch it together?
No, separately because we're busy filming.
Kang Hyejeong, your family seems to support you.
They said it's interesting.
They just said that and nothing else?
Did they say, "You can do it" or anything?
My daughter roots for me a lot.
She keeps asking when I'll come out.
I told her I'm not on screen much in episodes 1 and 2,
so that she shouldn't get her hopes up.
Any fun stories from the set?
I can't ride a motorbike but I have a scene where I do.
He gets on a motorcycle to go to work.
He's the guy you can't hate born with a silver spoon.
He's apparently going to have an attractive twist.
I had poor form since I've never ridden before.
It was very troubling.
But you looked cool.
That's the power of editing.
Thanks to the editors.
He's honest.
From getting doused with water,
to getting her hair pulled,
Jwa Yuni goes through quite an ordeal.
What was the hardest thing?
I think it was more fun than tough.
What about when you got splashed with water?
You must've been flustered.
The water went into my nose and flowed back.
I was so shocked since I really got drenched.
Can you give our viewers
a minor spoiler?
I keep suffering but as things progress,
I slowly start to get revenge.
Changing the power dynamic.
Oh, you do?
You have to watch, but I could become the secretary.
Episode 2 reached 7% viewership.
It should go up, right?
It'll go over 10%...
Then hit 45%.
We've got a long road ahead of us.
We're excited about the new KBS drama, "Jugglers."
It has a refreshing plot, delight, and laughs.
Please watch "Jugglers"! Good luck!
I'll make sure to watch when it airs!
I hope "Jugglers" becomes a hit.
I think it'll be interesting. More so in the future.
That's all the news we have for today.
See you next week.
Everyone, be happy!
