ACTOR HYEON-JUN, SHOCKING RED CARPET MISHAP
LIM HYEON-JUN'S RED UNDERWEAR DISASTER
THIS IS FUN!
THIS IS EXCITING!
Stop watching this. Are you a pain-seeker?
Why are you torturing yourself like this?
You're taking another one?
Are you still struggling?
I was attacked in a restroom
and humiliated at the awards ceremony, so of course, I'm struggling.
I get that.
But that woman wasn't even a terrorist. Did you think she'd pull out a knife?
Why did you even rush toward her?
This is all because of Kang Pil-gu!
I deal with so many bad guys in the show
that it's hard to separate it from real life!
Still, you looked really cool when you ran toward her,
even though you took a tumble.
-Do you know what a painfinity meme is? -A painfinity meme?
I have no idea.
It's a meme that causes infinite pain.
I just created a forever-cringe moment in my life!
It's all right.
Why did you have to go and fall down?
It'll be okay.
Everyone says they hated the red underwear.
Everyone will forget soon.
Man, why did I have to wear that underwear that night?

SPORTS EUNSEONG
GOOD DETECTIVE KANG PIL-GU TAKES DOWN FEMALE ATTACKER
I enjoyed the awards ceremony thanks to you.
It makes me sad to hear that.
I risked my job as a reporter to go there, you know.
They say a monk can leave the temple if they don't like it.
I'd like to know how you feel about being forced to come here.
It sucks.
I see.
You'll be covering K-pop here. Do you have a favorite artist?
-No. -Watched any dramas or movies recently?
-No. -Do you know any drama titles?
-No. -Do you know who RedPink is?
Oh, right!
No.
You've got some nerve, just as I heard.
It's unfortunate, though.
You might've been the political desk's ace reporter.
But here,
you're just a newbie.
Listen carefully. High-and-mighty journalism?
We don't need that crap here, so leave it at home.
You know the line between gossip and journalism is paper-thin.
But that paper-thin line can change the world.
So are you saying an entertainment reporter
isn't as cool as other reporters?
-I didn't become a reporter to be cool. -Good.
Try to do well here too.
You know,
I do well wherever I go.
I have high standards.
You'll need to do extremely well.
You can go now.
GOOD DETECTIVE KANG PIL-GU 5 PROJECT PROPOSAL
You know, in my opinion,
I think this season will be a bit different than before.
Mr. Hwang.
-Mr. Hwang! -Yes, I'm coming.
You guys can go home now.
Didn't I tell you season four was the last one?
Do you think we're in Hollywood?
Is Good Detective Kang Pil-gu the only role I get before I die?
Come on, bro.
We don't have to go to Hollywood for that.
Even Chief Inspector lasted for 18 years.
It was Choi Bul-am's life-defining character.
That was more than 40 years ago!
That show ended before you even learned to read!
In any case, I won't do the next season.
I'm doing something different.
We must've received synopses for other shows!
What's this?
Is this it? Just this one?
It's a melodrama, your favorite.
A melodrama?
It's set in the '80s,
and the male lead is a post office employee.
He develops a crush on a woman
who comes every day to send letters to her dead boyfriend and…
Jeez, it's too complex.
Hey, that sounds great.
Yes, it's great. The post office employee is Zo In-sung.
You're the dead boyfriend. Still interested?
Do I get little screen time?
There's not much to say because you die and disappear.
You might have about three scenes.
It's more like a special appearance.
And before he died, he was a detective.
A detective who was stabbed to death by a serial killer.
What else is there?
Why did you only bring this?
There must be more, right?
Bring them all so I can choose.
We haven't gotten anything else.
No other scripts have come in.
If scripts don't come in, you need to reach out first!
If I'm just waiting for scripts to arrive,
why would I need an agency?
You're right. It's my fault for being incompetent.
I'm sorry, bro.
People probably think I'm too busy playing Kang Pil-gu.
That's why they're not sending me scripts.
Send out articles saying I'm done playing Kang Pil-gu.
GOOD DETECTIVE KANG PIL-GU
SEASON 18
Excuse me, sir.
I never expected to meet you here.
I'm sorry to bother you, but can I get an autograph?
My daughter is a big fan.
Sure.
What's your daughter's name?
It's Yu Je-i.
What a pretty name.
No, but really, my daughter is a huge fan
of Mr. Lee Jae-hyeong.
Gosh, you retired too early.
If it weren't for that injury…
Goodness, I'm being silly. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
It's Yu Je-i.
-Thank you. -Thank you, sir.
Did you get it?
So after her divorce,
Song Ja-gyeong got so much botox done that her face was about to explode!
So the next entertainment piece can be a full story of Song Ja-gyeong's divorce…
I interviewed Song Si-gyeong yesterday,
and his voice was so amazing.
I almost asked him if he could say "Sweet dreams" to me.
Oh, man.
Start the meeting.
-Broadcasting? -Chae-eun from Latiseri
landed a role in an SBS mini series.
I guess the other girl group member was turned down.
-Any K-pop news? -Ga-i arrives today after his US concert.
He's releasing his fifth studio album, so people will be interested.
Cover his arrival scene and get an interview, Wi Jeong-sin.
Me?
You cover K-pop.
Do you know who Ga-i…
Do you have a clue?
-I'm sure she does. -Of course.
-She'd know. -It's Ga-i, after all.
-You can find him online. -It's Ga-i.
-Hey, wait a second. What's this? -What?
What is it?
PRODUCTION UNDERWAY FOR GOOD DETECTIVE KANG PIL-GU SEASON 5!
This isn't the article I wanted released! What's the matter with you?
It wasn't me.
-Who else could it be but… -Move, please.
What's going on? Are you guys escorting the president?
What's with the heavy security?
It's Ga-i!
He just arrived today after his US concert.
How many bodyguards does he have?
I bet there are tons of reporters out there.
Hey, you should've told me about this!
If I walk out with Ga-i, I'll look like a loser!
Don't worry about a thing. No one will pay any attention to you!
Have you lost your mind?
It won't be a problem. Just wear these.
Jeez.
WELCOME TO TERMINAL 2, ARRIVAL GATE B
What in the world?
So many are here already.
Move out of the way! I need to see…
No, don't push me!
Get that woman away from him!
-Protect Ga-i from her! -Get off of him!
Someone help me!
Excuse me!
Please help me!
-Me? -Excuse me, please help!
Help!
Hey, I need help!
Help me out!
Please save me!
Man, Ga-i had his car waiting at the entrance and got right in.
Why do I have to walk to the parking lot to get to mine?
Come on, Detective Kang Pil-gu
-doesn't have a sense of entitlement. -Oh, hey.
We have your public image to consider.
-I wonder if that woman is okay. -Yeah, I wonder.
Ga-i's fans practically dragged her away.
It's not like they'll kill her.
-You're going home, right? -Yeah.
-Hey, go ahead. I'm leaving. -Right.
I need to stop off somewhere.
Hey, Mr. Bak.
Are you at your studio?
I was hoping to see you today.
Get going.
-We'll be going now. -Yeah.
All right.
Drive safely.
Drive safely, okay?
Be safe!
-Hands off! -Get out of the way!
-No pushing! -Move out of the way!
I said, move!
What do you think you're doing?
Are you okay?
She just fell!
Jeez.
Are you here to push people around?
If you're here to guard someone, do that instead of getting physical!
You're only disgracing the artist you're bodyguarding!
Look at what you're doing. Do you think you're a bunch of thugs?
Are you kidding me?
What if she'd gotten seriously hurt?
Would you have compensated her? Apologize right now.
I said apologize!
Why don't you check and see if anything's broken or missing?
Everything is fine, thanks to you.
Thank you for getting my bag.
I saw how you didn't let those bodyguards push you around.
Well, my pride won't allow me to get pushed around by jerks like that.
Are you sure you're okay? Your jacket's torn.
I'm fine.
My body's a little sore, but I don't think I'm hurt.
Why are you laughing?
Is this situation funny to you?
No.
No, it's not funny at all.
I almost got to hold his hand.
-Did you get into a fight with the fans? -There she is!
No.
-It's her! -It's her. Let's go and see.
Get that woman away from him!
-Protect Ga-i from her! -Get off of him!
Get away from him, woman!
-Grab that woman! -No, I didn't…
Run!
Get her!
-It's her! -Stop!
He had nothing to do with it.
-Just talk to me. -Sorry?
You got us all wrong. We're here to thank you.
The girl those bodyguards pushed earlier
is my friend.
Thank you for helping us.
-Thank you! -Thank you!
Thank you for fighting on our behalf. You were freaking amazing!
-You were a hero! -You're the best!
We have to get going now.
Goodbye and thank you!
-Thank you! -Thank you!
-Come on, guys. -Let's go!
Were you trying to protect me just now?
Yes.
But I guess we ran for nothing.
Oh, right. I'm supposed to cover his arrival.
Damn it, I'm screwed!
By the way, thank you for picking up my bag.
Goodbye!
Hey, wait…
Hey, wait! You…
WI JEONG-SIN, SPORTS EUNSEONG
Now, stretch your back. Very nice.
Now, let's lower your left leg first.
Nicely done, sir.
I can't believe this.
You must have written a ton of scripts,
seeing how you have time for Pilates.
Writing takes a lot of energy, you know.
I make time for it even when I'm busy.
Didn't you say
you were going to take a year off after season four
and focus on directing?
Have you given up on directing?
Who knew I'd be writing for so long?
When we decided to turn Kang Pil-gu into a drama series,
I should've done the directing as well.
If you had, Kang Pil-gu wouldn't be here today
because I wouldn't have done it.
Anyway, I'm still under contract with the production company,
so I can't just do whatever I want.
Say you can't do it.
Darn, I got a bruise.
This is going to last for a while.
-Someone help me! -Get that woman away from him!
Get off of him!
-Move! -You scared Ga-i!
Please help me!
Come on, help me!
-Turn off the light. -Yes, sir.
Let's see here.
LIM HYEON-JUN TAKES DOWN ASSAILANT
AWARDS CEREMONY RED CARPET BRAWL
Right!
It was that punk from before.
-Pil-gu. -Pil-gu?
This guy's name is Pil-gu?
Are you serious?
Jeong-sin, you're covering entertainment.
I'm saying this as a concerned younger brother,
but you need to know the names of famous actors.
He's an actor?
Let me tell you about our dear Pil-gu.
His real name is Lim Hyeon-jun, but he's better known as Kang Pil-gu.
He shaped the success of all four seasons of Good Detective Kang Pil-gu.
He's a flawless,
undisputed iconic actor.
An "iconic actor"?
One among many.
And his character speaks for itself. He's like the next Yu Jae-seok.
Throw a fit and tell them you can't do it.
Throw a fit?
Just tell them you can't do it.
What will they do if both the actor and writer refuse?
Come on.
I have a certain social standing and reputation to maintain now,
and you're telling me to throw a fit?
That'll make me look like a jerk.
You're not the only one with a public image to protect.
Wow, I'm so glad you brought that up.
An actor's public image is everything, but starting with your graduation project
and the Kang Pil-gu drama series, it's been six, no…
I played Kang Pil-gu for seven whopping years!
No one's sending me scripts for anything else!
-This is a huge decision for me too! -Mr. Lim.
Do you think I'm the only writer in Korea?
Even if I tell them no,
they'll just find someone else to write the next season.
The copyright belongs to the writer,
so you can just say you won't do it.
To tell you the truth,
I bought a small building last year
and took out a huge loan for it.
Mr. Bak.
I mean, Byeong-gi.
-Why don't you kill me off instead? -Come on.
Just kill me off in the first episode.
Yes, let's kill Kang Pil-gu!
Come on, we're talking about us here! You can do this for me, right?
The next Yu Jae-seok, my ass.
I just mean there's nothing to dig up on him.
-That's due to a lack of proper digging. -So what?
That idiot caused a scene that day because he thought I was a criminal.
And thanks to him, I got bumped to the sports tabloid!
Come on. That was decided days ago--
There was a chance I didn't have to if it hadn't been for this!
Kang Pil-gu?
HAEUN BANK FAIR AND ETHICAL BANKING, HAEUN FEEL MONEY
Damn it.
Sir, are you crying?
I've become a slave to Kang Pil-gu!
Come on, seriously.
There's no escaping him, damn it!
Goddamn it.
-Mother! -My son!
-Sit down. -Okay.
You didn't have to make such a huge meal at this hour.
I'm so sorry,
but I have to head out for a shoot.
I'm okay. Don't worry about me.
By the way, when's your induction ceremony?
I'd like to skip it altogether.
I don't want to make a fuss.
I just want to go to work quietly.
This video of you getting dragged by Ga-i's fans
is trending on UTube.
I saw it too.
You said you do well anywhere. Is this what you meant?
We were the only ones who missed Ga-i's arrival scene.
Just our paper!
You're out of K-pop coverage.
Lim Hyeon-jun's interview is today, right?
-Yes, it's at 2 p.m. at King's Back-- -Kang Pil-gu?
You know about Lim Hyeon-jun?
-Yes. I'll go. -Why?
To make up for yesterday's mistake.
I'm Lee Jae-hyeong, your newly appointed president.
I plan to develop Sports Eunseong
into a global sports tabloid that can spread and share
Korea's diverse entertainment, culture, and sports news,
all in real-time with people around the world.
WI JEONG-SIN, SPORTS EUNSEONG
SPORTS EUNSEONG WI JEONG-SIN
-As for the… -You found all the materials, right?
-Yes, but… -Then hurry up and send it out.
You have a video, right?
You went to entertain some VIPs
and took a video on your phone, hoping it might pay off.
I'll need you to give it to me.
Who are you?
Me?
I'm a reporter.
Nice to meet you.
-I'm Wi Jeong-sin. -Of course.
Thank you.
Right.
Here. I'm Hwang Ji-sun.
-All right. Please take a seat. -Thank you.
Great.
Reporter Wi Jeong-sin.
It's our first time, right?
First time? You must have a bad memory.
We actually met in a very dramatic way.
Twice, in fact.
By the way, is Bahn Soo-jung an actress with King's Back?
Yes, Soo-jung is a newcomer who joined us last year.
Hold on.
Be quiet!
You!
I'll cover the cost for your phone. Call me at 0259-2151.
Give me a call. I'm really sorry!
Are you really a reporter?
-Is this even real? -Excuse me?
-Look here. -Goodness.
Do you know what happens if you impersonate a reporter?
What's this guy talking about?
Mr. Hwang, call Sports Eunseong right now.
And check her ID.
There's no way
this woman is a reporter.
Excuse me!
Wow.
Ms. Wi.
We're very sorry.
There's been a misunderstanding.
Mr. Lim.
Right.
My job entails doing things I've never done before.
So I overreacted. I'm sorry.
Right. I'm glad we cleared up the misunderstanding.
So, can I ask you some questions?
Yes, of course.
So…
Mr. Lim, out of all the work you've done, with the exception of Kang Pil-gu,
can you name your favorite project?
Well,
Kang Pil-gu is the only project I've ever worked on.
I also did a movie called Sad Waltz a long time ago,
but it's a little awkward to choose
between the two.
I see. All right, then.
Shall we start talking about Good Detective Kang Pil-gu?
Yes, that sounds good.
Which season?
Excuse me?
There are multiple seasons. Which one should we begin with?
Well…
The most recent one, of course.
What are your thoughts?
Wow.
That ended six months ago, and you're asking me about my thoughts?
This is a bit underwhelming.
Your thoughts can be different right after filming
and can change again after six months.
Yes, of course.
Right. Of course.
The last season
ended with me falling off a building.
It ended without revealing whether I died or not.
Yes, it was quite suspenseful.
Wow, Ms. Wi.
-You haven't watched the drama. -Excuse me?
The last season ended with Kang Pil-gu getting promoted
after catching a serial killer.
Gosh, I guess you were so busy
that you didn't even have time to skim the plot summary on your way here.
Well, this is unfortunate.
Since you're not clear on the content, I guess the interview
will have to end here.
You see, I…
I understand.
It's a real shame,
but let's do this interview next time.
Come on.
With so many seasons, anyone could get confused.
Did he just make a fool out of me?
Are you crazy?
That interview was so hard to land, and you blew it?
Damn it, what's the matter with you?
Have you lost your mind?
You can't embarrass a reporter like that!
I did no such thing.
She wasn't prepared, so I taught her a lesson.
What gives you the right to teach a reporter a lesson?
Do you know what that woman does?
-What do you mean? She's a reporter! -That woman
works at a hostess bar.
What?
Jeez.
-Where are you? -Home, why? I'm busy.
Round up your theater and film friends from college
who are experts in juicy gossip.
Round them up? Do you think you're a gang boss?
I've got a high-paying gig for you. Are you in?
Of course, I'm in!
-How many people do you need? -Forget it.
The story might get leaked, so do it yourself.
Damn it.
Hello?
Jeez, her phone manners are the worst.
This protein shake is tasty. Drink it.
Was that your sister?
Yeah, she said she has a gig for me.
-A gig? Can I do it too? -I guess you could…
No, never mind.
It's probably not for a privileged med student like you.
By the way, why don't you have a TV at home?
My sister hates it. She's a total boomer.
-My brother's a boomer too. -Really?
Well, what does your brother do?
-My brother? -Is he a doctor?
His job starts with a "D" too.
He's a detective.
A detective? Like Kang Pil-gu?
Right.
Mr. Lim, out of all the work you've done, with the exception of Kang Pil-gu,
can you name your favorite project?
Who will give him a role in a melodrama or rom-com at his age?
He's stuck with Kang Pil-gu.
We don't get any.
No scripts have come in.
LIM HYEON-JUN LIM HYEON-JUN, YOU'RE DEAD
Starting now,
dig through Lim Hyeon-jun's social media and find dirt on him
with a female celebrity or find any signs of dating.
Jeong-sin, why are you going after my bro Pil-gu?
Lim Hyeon-jun gave me something.
I'm just returning the favor.
What exactly did he give you?
Humiliation.
Jeong-sin.
Do you know what a PSS is?
Of course, you don't.
It means, "Positive-Story Superstar."
That's the kind of person he is!
Positive story?
What positive stories?
First off, he still drives a domestic car.
The car needs to…
That car has been sitting there for ages.
Who does it belong to?
He was the first to cut rent in half during COVID-19.
COVID-19 ended ages ago!
How much longer do I have to be a "good landlord"?
I'm paying more in monthly interest than I'm getting in rent!
And he has the nicest personality.
Nobody has ever seen him get angry.
-Excuse me. -Yes?
I'm so sorry.
And that's not all.
He's the best when it comes to fan service.
-It's Kang Pil-gu! -Can I get an autograph?
-It's Kang Pil-gu! -I'm a fan!
-Pil-gu! -Pil-gu!
You know,
with a decade as a reporter covering the social, political, and economic desks,
I've pretty much seen everything.
But I've come to realize something.
Everyone has dirt to hide,
and where there's smoke, there's fire.
My senior colleagues at the political desk said
politicians and celebrities are similar.
I understand what politicians are like more than anyone.
Therefore, you can say I understand celebrities too.
There's always another side to them, unknown to the public.
It's a hidden side that no one knows about
and is far from beautiful.
Do you really have to do this?
-One million won. -What?
One million won is calling my name!
-Hey, Su-ji. -Yes?
What kind of actor do you like?
I'm not capable of favoring specific actors,
but I respect their acting abilities and the narratives they bring to life.
In particular,
I highly value actors who have successfully portrayed various characters.
Are you saying
someone who has played only one character isn't an actor?
I didn't catch that.
So even an AI assistant like you feels that way.
I want to play different characters too,
but nobody's giving me a chance.
-Hey, Su-ji. -Yes?
Do you think I'll get an opportunity…
to play a variety of roles?
Opportunity comes to those who are prepared.
As long as you're passionate about playing diverse roles,
that opportunity will definitely come.
Hyeon-jun.
When did you get here?
Just now. Who were you talking to?
It's me, Su-ji.
Did you know that Su-ji is quite humorous?
You want to see?
Hey, Sui-ji. Tell me a funny story.
You can't help but laugh at this.
When do you weigh the most?
When you're "full of yourself."
When you're full of yourself!
She said "when you're full of yourself"!
That's funny.
Lim Hyeon-jun and Jin Su-a have the same passport holders!
Oh, you're right!
The colors are different,
but they have the same brand and model bracelet.
And they did an outdoor clothing commercial.
Hey, this is a sure thing!
Yes, we did it!
-But there's a problem. -A problem?
These photos are from three years ago.
Three years ago? What about now?
How would I know? They probably broke up.
Hey!
LIM HYEON-JUN & JIN SU-A?
No, that's not it.
I can't get in touch with Mr. Lim at the moment.
Let me confirm with him first and…
Yes, exactly.
Yes, Mr. Park. Okay, take care.
This reporter is a damn lunatic!
Unbelievable.
This is the result
of teaching that reporter a lesson, don't you think?
Come on, everyone in Korea knows
that we dated for just a month three years ago!
Why write an article like this now?
What did Su-a say?
What do you think? She's just as pissed as you.
What should we do? Deny that you're dating?
Wait, we should just say you two broke up.
But three years ago?
LIM HYEON-JUN & JIN SU-A BUDDING ROMANCE OR JUST A COINCIDENCE?
Reporter Wi Jeong-sin.
Oh, man.
In all my life, never did I think I'd memorize a reporter's name.
Why is my name on an article that I didn't even write?
It was written based on your research, so that's why your name is on it.
I thought you suspected they were dating.
I said I had suspicions. I never said they were.
You can't release an article without checking!
Be quiet.
This hasn't been fact-checked.
This was from three years ago,
and I said I didn't think they were still dating.
Then release an article saying they already broke up.
How does that work?
Why are you acting dumb?
Don't you know how things work here?

We're in trouble!
"Hyeon-jun suspected of abuse of power" is trending right now!
-What? -What in the world
gave you the idea to publicly humiliate a reporter?
-That reporter-- -She's going to be all over you now!
Oh, who cares?
I've done a lot of good over the years.
The public is on my side, and so are the reporters.
Drops of water make a mighty ocean.
Your public image will take a hit if these articles pile up.
You think that's the right idiom for this situation?
Whatever.
This is much worse than a romance scandal.
Why are you blaming me?
That lunatic is the one who stirred up trouble!
Come on, don't be like that!
Make up with that reporter, bro.
I'll set up a meeting today.
Who says I have to?
Look, another article just got posted.
Why is this speeding up? What are you doing?
Hey, bro, wait a minute!
Bro!
CHUNGHYO HALL
Why are you grunting?
I'm very sorry about what happened.
Ms. Wi, there's no apology big enough to undo the disrespect
we showed you during that public appearance.
Ms. Wi is at fault too.
She shouldn't have written about an alleged dating rumor.
It was my mistake as desk chief.
Goodness, not at all!
-We look forward to working with you. -Likewise.
We look forward to receiving more exclusives from you.
Is there even any doubt? Of course, we will!
Enough of this.
Please accept a drink.
Here.
What are you doing?
What's the matter with you?
I'm here to receive an apology, not to give one.
Why are you apologizing on my behalf?
-I'm not sorry at all. -What are you doing?
We're not pushovers.
She screwed us over for not doing the interview.
So why the hell are you apologizing?
Don't you agree? Do you intend to apologize?
Of course,
I don't intend to apologize.
I don't even want an apology anymore.
It's ridiculous to cater to every tantrum
of a middle-aged man acting like a diva!
Then there's no reason to stay here.
I feel the same way too!
I thought you'd come to your senses, but I guess not.
I've never lost my senses.
After all, Jeong-sin literally means "senses."
That's not funny.
Is this the work you'll be doing?
Imagine this is the political desk.
Were you this sloppy and emotional over there too?
Would you have interviewed assemblymen without knowing a thing about them?
Or would you have run your mouth and made them your mortal enemies?
Do you want to bury Lim Hyeon-jun?
Fine. Go ahead and bury him.
But at least get to know
who it is you're burying.
That's how you bury him for good.
Do well.
Imagine this is the political desk.
Were you this sloppy and emotional over there too?
Ms. Wi.
You haven't watched the drama.
Since you're not clear on the content, I guess the interview
will have to end.
But at least get to know
who it is you're burying.
Groveling at my feet wouldn't have been enough!
What did she call me again?
A middle-aged man acting like a diva?
Unbelievable.
But you are a middle-aged man.
Nothing she said was wrong.
Hey, it's the director!
Hello, sir!
Director Kim Cheol-ho, how are you?
Goodness, I've just been waiting by the phone, hoping you'd call.
Excuse me? Saturday?
Saturday sounds great!
Yes, sir!
I'll make a reservation and get back to you, then.
Yes, sir. Goodbye.
Are you home, Jeong-sin?
Jeez, why is it raining so hard?
Jeez, get cleaned up before you sit down!
No, I'm too hungry.
Why didn't you take a taxi or buy an umbrella at a convenience store?
You don't earn a thing, but you're quick to tell me to spend mine.
Don't you have a guy you can call to bring you an umbrella?
No.
Do you know what's written on your face?
-What? -"I am solo."
Quoi que l'on dise, on restera solo
Quoi que l'on fasse, on restera solo Solo, solo
Hey, solo, have some kimchi stew.
You're kind of a combination of Gwang-su and Yeong-suk,
so let's call you Gwang-suk.
Jeong-sin, are you SSB? Single Since Birth?
Yeah. What's wrong with that?
Plenty.
It's not something to be proud of.
A normal person would feel ashamed and get mad.
There's no shame in that!
You won't make it in the real world with that mindset!
Not again.
Hey, we have somewhere to go in the morning.
-Where? -To pick up a TV.
I knew it.
-How much did you pay for this? -I got it for free.
Does it even work?
Some people just give things away instead of paying to trash them.
I already checked and made sure it worked.
Pass it to me!
Get in there!
-Move up! -That's it!
Yeah!
Good job!
Jeez, take a hint. The director is pissed.
All right, let's do this!
All right!
Let's go, Director!
Yes!
Nice job!
Cut him off!
Shoot the ball.
Great shot!
Excellent!
I'm on him!
Wow, how do you make such brilliant shots?
I recently had ankle surgery, but it seems fine.
I haven't even gotten the stitches out.
Director, you have such artistic flair,
you even kick the ball with style.
It was totally an award-worthy shot!
Shoot like a star!
Academy Award for Best Director shot!
Director, enjoy a cold drink.
WHEN A MAN FALLS IN LOVE
-Gosh. -Goodness.
Thank you so much, Director.
I'm sure a ton of actors
-lined up for this. -No, not at all.
I've felt bad because Hyeon-jun has a lot of hidden potential,
but he was pigeonholed as a detective for far too long.
This project is a melodrama.
Changing your public image is good,
but as a viewer, I look forward to seeing
a different side to Lim Hyeon-jun's acting.
Sir,
I've been dying to do just that.
I am truly grateful that you reached out to me.
The role of Sang-do is a pretty good challenge, right?
Sang-do?
You mean, An Sang-do?
Yes, An Sang-do.
But An Sang-do is a thug.
That's right. A thug.
You've played a detective, but not a thug.
Hold on. All that aside, Sang-do is the third…
-The fourth thug? -The fifth.
The fifth thug?
Yes, that's right.
But he interacts with the lead a lot, so he gets plenty of screen time.
Wait, so did you call me here to cast me as the fourth thug?
I said the fifth thug.
I guess there was a misunderstanding.
Kang Pil-gu has left such a strong impression
that it doesn't match the main character's artist image.
But sir, you just said you felt bad for me
because I've been pigeonholed as a detective for so long.
That's why a thug is perfect.
A rough and righteous thug with a different vibe.
What with the fan meeting behavior issue
-and the sushi photo incident-- -But that was--
Even ignoring that, there's still the dating rumor.
In any case, this project
is a melodrama about a man falling desperately in love
with a woman who's losing her sight, so an emotional connection is impossible.
A thug is perfect for you.
This looks so good.
Let's see here.
LIM HYEON-JUN AS KANG PIL-GU
SKIP INTRO
This had better be good.
GOOD DETECTIVE KANG PIL-GU EPISODE 1
Time to take out the trash.
Let's go!
Not half bad.
-Su-ji, I feel awful today! -Yes?
What am I supposed to do at times like this?
It sounds like you had a rough day. What happened?
I still feel twisted up inside.
Is there anything I can do for this?
Maybe if you wash your hands in cold water and brush your teeth,
you'll feel a bit better.
Really?
Damn it!
No, don't get hurt.
That's it! Good job!
Yeah!
Look behind you. Be careful!
Nice work.
They say you can't fix people.
"They say you can't fix people."
But I do.
"But I do."
What in the world gave you the idea to publicly humiliate a reporter?
She's going to be all over you now!
What with the fan meeting behavior issue
and the sushi photo incident on National Liberation Day,
there's still the dating rumor.
REPORTER WI JEONG-SIN
That's crazy.
That's it.
Holy shit, that was crazy.
He's so amazing.
Wi Jeong-sin!
You crazy…
Are you scared?
I'll protect you.
Let's go.
What the heck?
Come out here.
What in the world?
-Where is he? -Kang Pil-gu!
Kang Pil-gu, where are you?
You guys!
He's so cool.
Your mom's waiting for you.
Let's go.
I'll just watch a bit more.
Hey, stop!
GOOD DETECTIVE KANG PIL-GU 4
Let go of me!
That's it.
Jae-hyeon! Damn it!
Hey, wake up! Jae-hyeon!
Jae-hyeon!
Detective Kang Pil-gu played a key role solving major crimes, catching criminals,
and tracking down the killer behind the recent serial murder case.
Wi Jeong-sin, wake up!
In recognition of his achievements,
Detective Kang Pil-gu is hereby promoted to Chief Inspector.
You've done well.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING GOOD DETECTIVE KANG PIL-GU 4
They say you can't fix people.
But I do.
I'll protect you.

Kang Pil-gu?
Ms. Wi Jeong-sin?
May I have a moment of your time?
I think I messed with the wrong crazy lady.
Keep going if you want to find out.
Hyeon-jun!
Lim Hyeon-jun attempted suicide?
That's why I need you.
I'm a fan of Lim Hyeon-jun.
Man, this hurts.
Goodness, what brings you here?
Are you two dating again?
I just didn't want you to get photographed by reporters.
Who's in there?
Open…
You're unbelievable.
