NAMES, ORGANIZATIONS AND INCIDENTS IN THE DRAMA ARE NOT REAL
ALL THE STORIES IN THIS EPISODE ARE FICTITIOUS CREATIONS
Why did I name the program, Kingdom of Love?
It is exactly what you are thinking.
It is to resemble the animal kingdom.
Is there a big difference between animals and humans mating?
The emotion of being sad.
The pleasure and joy might be similar.
People get sad even after a fling is broken.
Even after a heartbreak, people take another shot to love again.
I think there is no right answer to love.
I'm not too sure.
In the animal kingdom, males and females
exchange accordingly to their equivalent based on their hierarchy.
Humans and animals basically act the same way.
Therefore, humans dating also exchange accordingly based on hierarchy.
I believe
that we are all
loving someone and continuing to love.
We try to love until the end.
I believe that we are all aiming to achieve that true love.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SHOW THROUGH THE PROGRAM?
I pursue pure and real human instinct.
I want to show people's true colors in front of love.
WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES THE PROGRAM SO POPULAR?
Marriage programs get popular when marriage in reality is difficult.
When parenting becomes difficult, parenting programs become popular.
These days, dating is becoming more difficult.
That's why programs like Kingdom of Love showing reality love are popular.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE?
What a profound question.
I'm not too sure...
Of course!
I believe in love.
But...
What does it mean to believe in love?
EPISODE 12 TRUTH BEHIND THE CAMERA
Ji-wan, are you okay?
Yes.
They will do anything for the viewers' ratings.
They are too harsh.
I agree.
I can't believe they didn't even ask.
It's my fault.
Anything on camera
can be always used for broadcast.
I think we have all become used to the cameras.
We sometimes forget they are there.
I agree.
We end up even talking about personal matters.
Isn't that why there is the production crew?
The production crew should protect the cast's privacy.
That is what editing is for.
I agree with Ji-yeon.
MONITOR ROOM
-Producer! -Why?
Hey.
Are you guys the ones who made this trash program?
Yes?
Where is the cast?
Where are you hiding them?
Sir!
I don't know why you are doing this, but please calm down--
That knife!
Please put it down.
I'll call the police.
You'll call the police?
Give me the fucking phone!
Drop the phone!
Come over here!
Get over here!
Producer, leave first!
Let go of me!
We are at Bukam-dong at Kingdom of Love's recording set.
There is a crazy man with a knife. Please come quickly.
Let go of me!
KANG CHAE-RI
Why isn't she picking up?
Kim Sang-woo!
-Producer! -Are you okay?
Are you hurt a lot?
I just got cut a little bit.
-Did you call the police? -Yes.
Let me see.
Is it okay?
Producer.
The cast!
We should evacuate them.
Where the fuck are they?
Who is that guy?
Holy shit! Isn't that a knife?
Kim Jun-ho!
Get over here, you bastard!
Come here!
Move aside!
Come over here, you bastard!
You bastard!
Come over here!
You brat!
Get over here, you bastard!
Are you okay?
You punk!
God damn it.
You pathetic excuse of a human.
Robbing people of their money and ruining their family!
How could you be on TV?
Are you enjoying lovemaking, you crazy psychopath?
Are you even human?
You are not even human!
The knife!
Please drop the knife, and let's talk it out.
Give me my money!
Give me back my money which you swindled!
You decided on your own to invest and it failed.
Why are you blaming me?
-What did you say? -My words exactly!
If you profited from that
would you have given me money for commission?
This bastard is still running his mouth!
Did I say anything wrong?
The court already ruled!
Why are you continuing to call me a swindler?
You crazy bastard.
I swear to you.
I'm going to kill you today.
I'm going to kill you!
And I will die as well!
You bastard!
Get over here!
Come over here--
Stop what you're doing!
The police are on their way.
Who are you?
I am the head producer of Kingdom of Love, Kang Chae-ri.
What should we do?
Was it you?
The person who let that swindler be on TV
is you?
You already injured one of our staff.
Avoid getting more people hurt, and stop now.
That bastard!
Do you know
what kind of person you are showing on TV?
He made us invest in his business.
He tricked us with his sly mouth
and took our money.
And ran off!
Do you think I'm the only victim?
Do you know how many families he has ruined?
Did I tell you to get a divorce?
Why are you blaming that on me--
If it wasn't for you,
our happy family of three
would not have separated, you bastard.
Producer, don't believe what that guy is saying.
Hey, producer.
You're an accomplice too.
You made that crazy swindler
look like a normal businessman on TV.
You are an accomplice!
It sounds like you are overreacting.
Overreacting?
Did anyone threaten you to invest?
Hold a knife to your neck?
What?
You used your own judgment to stamp the papers.
You agreed to take the risk despite the consequences.
Despite the court ruling legally ending the case,
you trespassed onto a recording set
and swung a knife toward innocent people.
To be honest,
you look like the bad person.
What should we do?
You are wrong!
I'm a victim!
I'm going to kill you all!
Stay put!
Are you okay?
-Hun-hee! -Stay still!
You're wrong!
Give me my life back!
Stay put!
No!
Producer.
Sang-woo, you...
Are you okay?
How could this happen?
What's going on?
Sang-woo...
Thank you for your cooperation.
-Are you okay? -Yes, I'm fine.
Take care of Sang-woo.
Let's end it here.
Don't worry about me.
Okay, get some rest.
I'm sure everyone is shocked.
The situation
has been handed over now.
It is late now. For today, please return to your rooms and rest.
Tomorrow
we will brief you all officially.
We will also discuss future schedules.
We apologize for the tragic event.
Okay, thank you.
-We are okay. -Let's go in now.
Let's go in.
I'll take you to your room.
Thank you.
Go and rest now.
Can you
stay with me a little longer?
I'm afraid to be alone right now.
Okay.
I'll stay until you fall asleep.
What are you doing here?
I didn't want to be alone in my room.
-Is that why you're cleaning? -Yes.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Jae-hoon.
Yes?
Have you never regretted
being on the Kingdom of Love.
No.
Even after something like today?
Do you regret it?
Being on this show...
was my best option.
Did I not emphasize on checking the cast's background?
Someone swinging a knife on a set?
That's...
Hey.
I understand scandals, but a police investigation?
-I'm sorry. -I'm sorry.
Before the media get loud,
set the program to end early.
-End it next week-- -I can't do that.
I will talk to the cast and continue the program.
-Producer Kang Chae-ri, don't be stubborn. -Director.
These incidents cannot be prevented if you don't end it properly!
If this gets exposed to the media,
the company will have a major loss!
Gu Yeo-reum.
Yes, Director.
End it with the next episode.
Assist Kang Chae-ri and clean up the mess.
Let's talk somewhere in private.
I heard you knew.
-About what? -Kim Jun-ho.
You knew he was a problem.
He has a past of various litigations and is a swindler.
Why did you let him on knowingly?
Do you really not know?
That is his job. To cause problems.
Do you think people will watch if it is all normal people on the show?
I understand if he was just crazy.
But a real swindler?
Do you believe the crazy guy swinging around a knife?
Park Ji-wan's sexual harassment past too.
Kim Jun-ho intentionally mentioned it.
Did you really have to air that?
-Hey, Gu Yeo-reum. -Why, Kang Chae-ri.
Stop acting innocent.
-What? -I want to make something that sells.
Something that will get the viewer's ratings and interest.
I don't want my time and money invested go to waste.
You are right.
-Everything you said is right, but still,
there is a line you shouldn't cross--
A line?
Who makes that line?
It's an implicit rule--
That line is just at a different place for you and me.
Don't you dare judge my innocent desire for wanting my program to succeed.
Are you okay?
They are coming now.
She's here.
About last night's tragic incident
and about how we were unable to contain the set as the producing staff.
We sincerely apologize.
For the next two days,
we will stop all recordings.
So we have to stay here for two days?
We will update you on the schedule after.
Kang Chae-ri.
Why didn't you tell them about the early end?
Because I'm not going to end it.
How do you plan on doing that?
I will fix it in my own way.
It's not easy to get every program you are on to fail.
What?
I'm talking about you.
But me,
I will not lose to the jinx you brought.
Is this program
still able to continue recording?
Producer Kim Sang-woo seemed to have been injured severely.
Yeah, he was bleeding a lot.
They will continue even if someone gets stabbed or the police came.
This field of work knows no mercy.
Forget about the show.
Shouldn't we ask for compensation for mental damage?
Everyone, let's calm down first and go inside for now.
There is no recording for two days.
Let's get some good rest and think about it.
If there is no recording,
can I rest at home?
I don't want to be here.
Can we do that?
Until we resume the recording,
we ask you to not leave the premise.
They are very harsh.
Are you drinking alone during the day?
There is no recording.
I can't bear being locked up here sober.
Let's drink together.
Cheers.
Wasn't Kim Jun-ho's incident crazy?
Of course.
Amazing. Unbelievable.
Amazing? Unbelievable?
What does that mean?
I'm very bad at English.
It means I was shocked.
Oh, right. I forgot.
I'm very bad at English too,
but you're worse than me!
I was not able to focus in class because I was always in practice.
It's okay.
Hun-hee is very handsome.
That is all that matters.
Anyways,
you can see through the vast water, but you cannot see through a person.
Kim Jun-ho...
What a shame.
See through the water.
It is a shame.
Yesterday,
I'm sure you were shocked.
Yes.
I'm sorry,
but what the guy said is not true.
I feel wronged.
Why do you feel wronged?
Business is always like that.
It's either a great success, or you get ruined.
It's high risk and high return.
But just because it failed,
they blamed me.
I'm a victim too.
I'm sure you are.
I'm sure you also have your side of the story.
To be honest,
if you don't believe in me, I don't care.
Ji-wan, you believe me, right?
You trust me, right?
Are you okay?
Yes.
You got really shocked yesterday, right?
I'm fine.
How is Producer Sang-woo?
He's being treated at the hospital.
He took off a few days to rest too.
He said he is feeling fine.
You got shocked too.
Are you okay?
I arrived when it all ended.
It was good that you weren't there.
You always act before thinking.
Since when?
Yeo-reum.
Yes?
Is this what you wanted to do?
What do you mean?
The program that you sought to make.
I'm sure it wasn't something like this.
When your dream...
becomes your living,
it can make you like this.
Tell me when it gets hard.
I will always be there for you.
That's what I usually have done.
Okay.
Jae-hoon!
I'll get going now.
MISS CHOI
What do I owe the pleasure of this call?
This is the hospital calling.
Is this the guardian of Choi Sun-ok?
Yes. Why?
Your mother had a car accident.
What?
Are you going somewhere?
There is an urgent matter.
May I join you?
Together?
Staying locked up here
makes me feel suffocated.
Please take me with you.
Get in.
Thank you.
I'm going to my parent's place.
Did something happen?
My mother got into a car accident.
They said she wasn't hurt too badly.
I thought I should still visit her.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
If it's uncomfortable for you,
you can just drop me off anywhere.
This is the highway.
Right.
Then I can get off at a tollgate--
I'm okay with you coming.
If it's okay with you, come with me.
WE SERVE BREAKFAST JUN'S RESTAURANT.
Please sit down!
-I'm fine, sit down! -Please, let me do it.
Mom, sit down, please.
I will do it.
I'm fine!
Aren't you busy? It was a small accident. Why did you come?
You have a cast. How is that small?
Please sit down.
Our son brought a special guest!
I'm sorry I didn't prepare anything.
What do you mean by nothing?
The table is about to collapse!
Eat up.
Yes, thank you for the food.
Eat up.
I should pack some for you!
Don't bother.
Thank you.
You should eat up too.
Don't pack it up. I have a lot at home.
You should eat what I make.
No matter how hard I try,
I can't make better food than you, Mom.
Can I ask you something?
What is it?
Who is Jun?
It's me.
I knew it.
Is your real name Jun?
Yes.
Jang Jun.
Why?
What's so funny?
Your real name is nice too.
Why do you use the name, John?
I wanted to look cool.
When I was younger,
the name John seemed very cool to me.
I continued to use the name,
and here I am.
John is nice.
But Jun is nice too.
They are both cool.
The coffee truck is here!
Staff, have a nice drink!
-Hee-chang. -Yes?
What is that?
A coffee truck amidst what happened?
Well, the sponsor sent it to us.
I forgot the cancel it because it was so chaotic.
Okay, let's have a refreshing drink.
Okay.
-Here is your coffee! -Thank you.
Hello.
What should I get you?
For me...
We have soft ice cream as well.
-Can we have two ice creams? -Sure.
I think it will taste good.
-Here you go. -Thank you.
-Ji-yeon, take one first. -Thank you.
Thank you.
It looks good.
Do you like ice cream?
Yes.
I think they use steamed milk.
Steamed milk makes it softer.
Why do you like eels?
Eels?
Eels taste good!
Is that the only reason?
MOM
Yes, Mom.
My baby, what are you up to? Are you busy?
No, I'm not busy.
I'm resting in my room.
I wanted to hear our daughter's voice.
Mom.
Yeo-reum, what's wrong?
Did something happen?
-Why are you crying? -Mom.
What's wrong with me?
I think I...
ruined everything.
Yeo-reum, what's wrong? What do you mean by that?
Just...
Nothing in particular happened.
It's just today...
Work was very difficult to deal with.
My baby had a hard time at work.
It's okay.
That's just how work is.
Sometimes it goes well. Sometimes it doesn't go well.
Yeo-reum!
Should I make something good and come see you?
Just hearing your voice makes me full.
I'm okay. Don't worry about me.
It's nothing much.
I just teared up after hearing your voice.
Let me know if you miss me.
I will come up with your dad.
Okay.
I will make time for the weekend to go see you.
Don't worry too much about me, okay?
Okay.
I won't worry.
Mom, I'll call you again next time.
I love you too.
Goodbye.
Chef, what does your name mean in the Chinese character?
-I'm pretty sure it's just a Korean name. -I see.
Park Ji-wan, were you not surprised?
Should I have been surprised?
Nothing much.
It's just that people think I live in Gangnam with a silver spoon.
But
this is my reality.
Living in the countryside, raised by a single mother.
I was always poor and wanted to succeed.
That's why I worked hard to succeed.
All I have is my body and my passion.
But Chef, you don't look that way.
You look very successful and not like a country boy.
-What? -I mean it!
You have the tendency to make me laugh.
I understand now why your food
is so warm and delicious.
I realize it now.
I think you got it from your mother.
Park Ji-wan, how come you always
talk in such a sweet way?
My words should be at least flattering.
My face isn't flattering.
You are pretty too.
That's the first time I heard that.
You are really pretty.
Ji-wan.
The incident that you talked about on the show.
From when you were younger.
It's not your fault.
I know I might be crossing the line, but I wanted to tell you.
That it is not your fault.
Let's go up now.
Ji-wan, I have something I want to ask.
Do you attend an academy?
An academy to speak sweetly.
Hee-chang, did the camera in the garden record everything that night?
Kang Chae-ri.
What is this?
You know how hard I worked to prevent this being exposed?
How could you post this online?
Are you out of your mind?
We can't hide it forever.
We can't keep all of the staff and the cast silent.
If it gets exposed,
we should be the ones to expose it.
-Still, how could you-- -Did you see the public' s reaction?
A crazy guy trespassed the set.
Jae-hoon, Hong Jang-gun, and Lee Hun-hee
all courageously took down the perpetrator.
They were real knights in shining armor.
They were brave, amazing, and cool.
The reaction is overall good.
That was a risky bet!
It could have been the other way around.
You told me to end the show early.
I have nothing else to lose.
It was my final bet.
Kang Chae-ri, you really...
Since I fixed it, I can carry on with the show, right?
No.
Director.
Make the cast choose the final choice,
and end it with next week's episode.
Why?
I solved the issue.
-Chae-ri-- -Why do we have to early end it?
Kang Chae-ri.
Nothing has been solved yet.
Wrap it up.
And get some fresh air.
Did you hear?
The show is ending early.
I guess there was no choice.
I think it's better this way.
So-yeon, it sounds like you had a difficult time here.
To be honest, it was.
No one has an interest in me.
There are so many guys out there.
Choosing one out of the five guys here is the more difficult task.
So don't put yourself down too much.
What's this?
Are you comforting me?
No, I'm not comforting you.
I'm just stating the facts.
Hwang Jang-gun, why did you decide to come to the show?
Didn't everyone come for the same reason?
If I meet a nice person, that's great.
If I don't, I can still achieve some fame.
So-yeon, didn't you come for that reason too?
My image is ruined.
From start to finish, I got no votes.
I came on the show only to lose everything.
It's not over until it's over.
Don't be so pessimistic.
What can I do? It's the final choice this weekend.
What else can you do?
Be proud and stand tall! End the show with an impact.
How?
Well...
That's for you to think about.
That's easier said than done.
So-yeon, be more confident!
You can do it!
Fighting!
Did you hear about the final choice this weekend?
Yes.
Who are you going to choose?
I want to meet you outside as well.
I can call you oppa, right?
Do you really want to meet outside and do well with me?
-Yes. -Why?
We look good together.
People call us the perfect dutch face.
Equally, both have a perfect face match.
Is that so?
We can do a couple outdoor recording
or even a couple v-log.
Whatever we do together, it will look great.
It's not me that you like.
You just want to do business with me.
It's because I like you that I want to do business with you.
I cannot lie that well.
I can't do things that I do not like.
I wanted to ask you.
What are you doing tonight?
Do you want to go out?
Let's go grab something to eat.
Producer Kang,
cheer up.
There's nothing we can do.
Everything got messed up.
It's not your fault.
Let's wrap it up nicely.
The viewers' rating for the last episode will be the highest.
Everyone's waiting for it.
-Writer. -Yes?
Since we have no other options
I will end it as bizarre as I can.
Yes, Director.
We notified the cast.
We are discussing how to deal with the staff.
Alright.
Okay.
I heard.
Are you okay with it?
I should be on my toes, especially at a time like this.
Yeo-reum.
Yeah?
Is your place...
still available?
What do you mean?
The first floor.
Your old house.
Is it still available
now that you moved out?
How?
I contracted the place.
Just in case.
After your marriage broke up.
I contacted the owner and bought the place.
I thought you might come back.
The luggage from Chuncheon that Kim In-woo sent,
I took it all back to your place.
Your mom said there was no space at her place.
I just
did what I thought was best.
Why did you do that without discussing it with me?
It's not easy to get a place in Seoul.
After the recording
you need to move your stuff out from here next week.
You have no place to go. Where are you going to go?
Just think of it as home
until you find another place.
It's your home anyways.
Jae-hoon, come down right now.
Hurry! It's an emergency.
-What is it? -Come quickly!
That!
What is that?
-Kill it for me quickly. -It's too big!
-What will you do for me? -I'll do anything!
-I don't think I can kill it. -Shut up and go!
-I will kill it now! -Yes!
-Throw it out now! -It's moving!
Throw it out quickly!
I need a negotiation.
-A negotiation! -Don't you dare.
-Negotiation! -I will kill you!
-Don't come near me! -What has this insect done to you?
-It just wanted to live! -Get away from me!
Be careful not to burn it.
Is it good?
I told you it needs more kimchi.
It will be salty then.
If it's salty, I will eat it all!
-Why? -Are you kidding?
It's good!
When did you come?
Why are you here?
Well,
I came to turn on the gas.
Same with the water.
We start recording tomorrow.
I came to check on the place.
What brings you here?
Isn't it an emergency there due to the final choice?
-Jae-hoon. -Yes?
Why are you always good to me?
Why are you always sweet to me?
Do you want to know my answer?
Are you sure you want to hear it?
What's up with you?
Why are you making me confused?
Did I
make you confused?
You're doing that right now.
Me too.
I don't know what's going on with me.
I really can't understand myself.
My heart
is not acting how I want it to.
I keep getting flustered
and nervous.
I'm not sure if it's the heartache.
I don't know why my heart is acting this way.
Love that is for suckers.
What is love?
It's all useless.
I don't know why I want to do it again.
Why is my heart beating fast again? Why is it hurting again?
Because of you,
my heart is hurting so much.
Why now?
I want to be by your side.
I don't want to play around with you.
I want to be straight up and be serious with you.
Let's stop running away from each other now.
You seem different today.
You are different than usual.
I wish to talk in private without the cameras.
Ahn So-yeon disappeared?
She probably felt ashamed and ran away.
Let's just go.
As it is the last episode, she would not look good being alone.
Must you make her look worse as well?
I have nothing to lose now.
I'm over here!
Ahn So-yeon!
