CULINARY GUESSING WARS: A 50% CHANCE OF DOUBLING YOUR BET

HUMAN SLOT MACHINE A 1/9 CHANCE: TO INCREASE YOUR BET TENFOLD

-Tudum. -Tudum.

LET ME TRY ONE MORE TIME

ANOTHER LOSS

Hey, let me take a turn.

We're bound to see at least one of us going completely broke.

DELIVERY GIG: EACH SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY GRANTS 50 MILLION

ARE YOU EXHAUSTED?

YES

A GAME CHANGER STRIKES

AS CHAEBOL WANNABES' BREAK NEARS ITS END

CURRENT STANDINGS 1.04B, 1.6B, 430M, 480M, 1.201B

I'm hungry. In fact, I'm starving.

Let's get something.

Are you having something, Woo-young?

-I want a pig's trotter. -Pig's trotter?

-It's listed as Schweinshaxe. -That's 500 million.

-You're spending a whopping 500 million? -Yeah, I'm way too hungry.

Did you order some food?

-Yeah, one pig's trotter. -Really? Okay.

Still, it's too expensive.

WHAT DID SHE MEAN "OKAY"?

-That looks so good. -It looks so tasty.

-Why don't we share it? -No dice.

-Why not? -Pay me if you want some.

We'll chip in 100 million each. Let's share the food.

-Good idea. If we all chip in… -That totals 300 million.

Yeah, so you'd only have paid 200 million.

But there aren't so many slices here.

Don't worry about that. We're not here to eat, are we?

All right. Here's my idea.

I'll take your 300 million. Let me just take my portion aside.

-Don't be like that. -I'd still be sharing.

Let's eat off the same plate. This isn't some competition.

Don't come on too strong, okay?

-I'm only taking my chopsticks. -First off…

Pay me 100 million each. Man, you're all so…

-Let me see your 100 million won. -You're so distrustful.

COLLECTS 100 MILLION PER PERSON

Jeez. What do you think you're playing at?

-Give me my 100 million. -I don't have it.

-Forget the food, then. -I'd pay up if I had money to spare.

-Anyways… Let's eat. -Do you see me as a miser?

Cut her some slack.

WHY IS SHE ACTING SO BOLD?

You can have a single bite with your ten million.

OKAY, THEN…

-Is ten million all she has? -Yeah, I don't see how she could be so…

I'll give you one slice, Jin-kyung.

-No, I want to pick one myself. -Here you go.

Let me choose one myself. I did pay ten million.

I think I'm entitled to that.

DON'T YOU DARE TAKE TWO SLICES…

HOW CHILDISH…

-Okay. -Don't squabble over food.

Take your money's worth, Sook.

-Let's have a seat first. -Okay.

Yeah, let's eat in comfort.

Dang, this ate up almost 300 million.

The portion isn't so generous considering its price.

Still, let's enjoy it.

Don't you think a slice for ten million is too stingy?

-This is lit. -I had no choice.

-I love pig's trotter. -Pay up more.

Why? I gave you 100 million.

YUM

Still, a slice per ten million is outlandish.

With another ten million, you can have another slice.

HOW PETTY…

-I can't believe you. -What's that?

RUMMAGES IN HER FANNY PACK

Okay, take another slice.

A 10-MILLION DEAL CLOSED

But that's…

-Hey, watch it. You only get a slice. -Oh, come on.

-I'm having trouble picking one up. -I don't buy it.

-It's really that tricky. -You did fine earlier.

IN CASE YOU FORGOT,

THEY'RE COMPETING TO BECOME THE CHAEBOL HEIR

-This is my last piece. -Hey, stop that.

THAT'S WHEN THEY HEAR…

Someone must've won.

…THE CHEER FOR THE JACKPOT

-Their pot grew tenfold. -For real?

Oh, wow.

That's the first ever jackpot.

IT DOES LOOK LIKE HE WON…

SO WHY IS HE DESPAIRING?

For real?

Are you sure?

30 SECONDS AGO

Can you give me a demonstration without a bet?

Go!

HERE'S A SPECIAL PERFORMANCE FOR YOU

Stop.

-Tudum. -Tudum.

-Oh, yeah! -Hold on.

THERE IT IS, THE JACKPOT

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Why didn't I make the bet?

Hold on. Let me think.

I as good as wasted my good luck here.

There's no way I can win at this again.

That's how the world is.

An event like this doesn't happen in a row.

BUT HERE'S THE THING ABOUT HUMAN NATURE

Ten times, huh?

WE'RE NOT ALWAYS SO RATIONAL

Ten times the bet…

EVEN THE MOST ANALYTICAL MIND CAN BE TEMPTED

I'm betting 100 million.

Go!

WHEN GOOD LUCK SLIPS THROUGH YOUR FINGERS,

YOU CAN EASILY DELUDE YOURSELF INTO THINKING THAT IT WAS YOURS

Stop.

WHAT WOULD IT BE?

SO, YOU'RE NO WINNER

-Tudum. -Tudum.

DEEP DOWN, WOO-JAE MUST'VE FORESEEN THIS TOO

Damn it.

How much did you win?

-What? -You won?

I meant the slot machine.

-We heard them clapping. -Yeah.

You'll see.

IS THAT RIGHT?

I should go try my luck.

I'm playing the slot machine.

I'm going to order in pig's trotter later.

Let me bet 20 million.

IF HE WINS, HE EARNS 200 MILLION

-Let's do this. -Okay.

Go!

IF WOO-JAE WON, SO CAN I

Oh, dang it!

GROAN

UGH

There's no winning that.

-100 MILLION IN TOTAL

This one has a 50% chance, at least.

-Welcome. -I'm losing my mind here.

ABOUT TO PLACE A BET AT CULINARY GUESSING WAR

SNEAKING UP

Wanna place a bet together?

Seven, eight, nine. That's all I have.

I'm betting 50 million only.

I'll join her pot for 100 million.

I'm sure we'll win if we join our forces.

FIRST-EVER JOINT VENTURE

-No second thoughts? -None.

Here we go.

SECRET COOKING SESSION BEGINS

HERE'S A COOKING ASMR SHOW THAT GIVES YOU A RUSH OF ADRENALINE

HYPER-FIXATED

THANK YOU FOR WAITING

Now, it's the moment of truth. Please choose black or white.

I'll start counting.

One, two,

-three, four, -What do you think?

five, six,

seven,

-eight, -Black… No, white.

-Black? -nine,

-Trust me, okay? -ten.

Black!

PUTS ALL HER FAITH IN SAE-HO

Please open the lid on the count of three.

One, two, three!

…three!

Look, Jin-kyung.

STEALS A GLANCE

I can't deal with this.

Thank you!

JOINT VENTURE FAILS

Thank you!

Black!

HE WAS SO CONFIDENT

Who does he think he is?

You asked me to trust you, didn't you?

I wonder what made you so confident.

I can't even…

LET'S MAKE A DELIVERY

Who are you to tell me to trust you?

CRUMPLED

Let's make another delivery.

You'd better do right by me. Give me 50 million.

Why would I do that?

-Just give it to me. -I'm all out.

Throw me a bone here. You have millions of won.

I don't, Jin-kyung.

I know you're loaded.

-You cost me my entire fortune! -But Jin-kyung…

I was going to go with black.

What? You meant to go… You meant to choose black?

-I did mean to go with it. -But we got white.

-The white side was up. -I mean, I said white first.

-Give me 30 million, then. -I'm out.

-Just 30 million. -You had your fill of my food earlier.

AT THIS RATE, SHE MIGHT TAG ALONG FOR THE WHOLE JOURNEY

-Come on, dude. -I'm sorry.

You have tons of money. But I lost all I had.

All right, then.

-Give me 30 million, no more. -Let me make the delivery first.

If things turn around, I might be able to…

Like I said, I told you we should go with white.

But you demanded that I trust you.

What made you so bold, huh?

Why make an empty promise you can't even deliver?

I'm so pissed.

IN THE END, SHE HAS ACCOMPANIED HIM TO THE DELIVERY SITE

SIGHS

Why trouble us with this annoying challenge?

TAKE CAUTION WHEN MAKING A JOINT INVESTMENT

Today's shoot is so draining.

LET'S TAKE CARE OF THE DELIVERY FIRST

DELIVERY COMPLETE

Okay!

CELEBRATING AS IF IT WERE HER OWN SUCCESS

TWO COURIERS FOR A SINGLE DELIVERY

Dang, I can't go on.

I can push you all the way for 20 million.

THERE SHE GOES AGAIN

-How about I push-- -Okay, then.

SIGHS

TOO TIRED TO FIGHT HER OFF

I'm so exhausted.

SMEAR CAMPAIGN - 1ST PLACE: -500M, 5TH PLACE: +500M

Who should I call next?

Why don't I call Hee-jin? I mean the actress.

-Oh, man. I adored her when I was young. -You did?

One of her works, Feelings, is my all-time favorite series.

Yeah? Feelings?

-Hey, Sook. -Hi, Hee-jin.

-Yes, Sook? -I'm in a bit of a rush.

-Okay, shoot. -Here goes.

Please rank my castmates

on the possibility of their buying a gift for their sweetheart secondhand.

Rank all five of us.

-I absolutely loved Feelings. -Let's hear it.

Who's in first place?

Okay, then how about the person who would never do that?

Woo-jae.

MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE STAR SEES ME IN A GOOD LIGHT

What about first place? Who seems…

I mean, whatever you say goes here.

-Well, I'm going to go with you. -The first place…

-Let's roll with that. -Hold on.

Let's think it over, Hee-jin.

You have to rank all five members, from first to fifth place.

Who's your pick for first place?

You, Sook.

-All right, thanks. -Hee-jin.

Hello, this is Joo Woo-jae. It's such a pleasure to talk to you.

Oh, hi.

-I'm not pulling your leg or anything-- -He's a huge fan of yours.

-That's Min-jong's song. -I'm honored.

She said she's honored.

Oh, gosh. Really?

He's gonna treat you big time.

-Of course. -He's earned like 500 million today.

-I have a billion won, actually. -He's raked in all the money.

Thank you so much, Hee-jin. I appreciate it.

Yeah, thanks.

Sorry, buddy. You still get the first place.

Sure, I get it.

-Thanks, Hee-jin. I'll catch you later. -Sure.

-Talk to you soon. -Thanks again.

Her voice hasn't changed after all these years.

-What do we do next? -I'm floored.

WHO CARES ABOUT THAT?

Don't you forget this.

My friend gave you 500 million, so we're even.

-Still, remember this. -I swear I will.

You got to talk to your beloved…

That punk! Treat me, okay?

GAINS AND LOSSES WILL BE SETTLED LATER

15 MINUTES OF FREE TIME REMAINS

In the end, everything is about odds.

-I've tried things on offer. -Yes.

Winning a reward or getting a penalty

on the phone call challenge

relies on a 1/5 chance, respectively.

The slot machine gives me a 1/27 chance.

As for the gig, it requires humongous effort.

But your station…

This place offers the best chance, if you ask me.

I can say it with certainty because that's what the odds say.

And so…

I'm betting 100 million.

Hold on. Is it worth my while to play the game to earn 100 million?

Should I raise my bet?

Let's say I went all in here.

I can be the obvious winner, then.

That's 500 million in total.

I'll go big and leave in peace.

I won't give you a chance to reconsider this time. Look closely.

Black, white. Black, white. Black, black, white.

All right, the black side is up. Now…

THE MIND GAME BEGINS

THE LARGEST POT THE CHEF HAS SEEN SO FAR

Darn it, I can't even guess.

You can open the lid yourself after my ten-second count.

One, two, three,

-four, five… -Black!

-I'm going to open the lid. -One, two, three!

Congratulations.

+1 BILLION

I'll have to close up the shop.

CLEARED OUT

I'm just speechless.

I want to say something,

but I can't think of anything. I just can't.

Here you go.

It's all thanks to you that I get to have this huge sum.

And so… Let me think.

FOR SOME REASON…

WOO-JAE ISN'T MOVING ON

OUR MINDS

WORK IN A VERY CURIOUS WAY

Let me put it this way. As a way to repay your kindness, Director,

-I'll put down 200 million. -A 200-million bet?

-I'm bracing myself for the loss. -All right.

GAMBLING ADDICTION STARTS FROM THE SO-CALLED "BIG WIN"

Your ten seconds here

may or may not affect the following decade.

Now, allow me to start the count.

One, two…

-I'll go with white. -White, it is.

Open the lid on the count of three.

-Got it. -One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Thank you.

THANK YOU FOR THE 200-MILLION GIFT

I genuinely made the bet as a gift.

-Oh, sure. Thank you. -I earned 500 million from you.

TRIES HARD TO LOOK UNBOTHERED

CHOKES UP

I honestly feel like crying.

You need a full belly for motivation.

I'm too hungry to work up the enthusiasm to try anything.

-Did you buy some lettuce? -Don't you dare, man.

WOO-JAE WON'T BE JOINING THIS PARTY

Stop it, Woo-young. That's why I'm cutting the meat to bits.

This makes no sense. Why aren't we treating it like the pig's trotters?

Let me give the skillet a shake.

SIZZLING

Man, that looks amazing. Don't they seem ready to eat?

All right. Let's eat.

Go ahead. The meat doesn't need black pepper.

-Thanks for the food. -Bon appétit.

Let's not rush our meal.

ALL OUR DAILY STRUGGLES…

Is it amazing?

…ARE TO PUT FOOD IN OUR MOUTHS

Oh, my.

Hot damn.

THIS IS INSANE

IT'S SO GOOD

GULP

Don't you want a bite, Woo-jae?

Nope.

HOLD ON

HOW COME I MISSED THAT?

You have 3 fruits each, so I'd have to multiply 1/3 3 times.

Then, I get 1/27. That's impossible.

I ASSUMED THAT THE ODDS WERE 1/27…

-I suggest that you… -Stop.

I WAS MISTAKEN

I get it now. With 3 fruits, you get 3 possible winning cases.

Since each case has a 1/27 chance…

In total, that's a 1/9 chance.

The returns can be ten times your bet.

This weird feeling just hit me like a truck.

I'm getting this strange hunch here.

My gut's telling me we're about to see a success.

-So, I'm betting 100 million. -Go ahead.

THE REWARD CAN REACH 1 BILLION

Go!

Stop.

-Tudum. -Tudum.

Stop.

-Tudum. -Tudum.

WOO-JAE LOSES

Not a single fruit matched.

THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT

TAKES OUT HIS WAD OF CASH AGAIN

-This is strange. -Go!

SECOND ATTEMPT

-Tudum. -Tudum.

ANOTHER LOSS

WHY ISN'T IT GOING MY WAY?

-Let's see. -Go!

SENSES DOOM AND LEAVES

3 CONSECUTIVE LOSSES

-I don't get it. -Go!

-Stop. -Tudum.

4 CONSECUTIVE LOSSES

HE CAN'T BELIEVE HIS EYES

LET ME TRY AGAIN

OH, DEAR

AGAIN

YOU POOR THING

TOO BAD

You're peeking, aren't you?

-We can't see a thing. -Nothing at all.

Can you turn around a bit? Let me adjust your angles.

Not like that. Please face away at a 45-degree angle.

LIKE THIS?

Stop.

-Tudum. -Tudum.

YOU SEE?

SO THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT

Turn around. Just a bit.

PRESSING HARD

-Tudum. -Tudum.

THIS STATION OFFERS A HONEST GAME JUST LIKE THE PANCAKE JOINT

THE HIGH ROLLER FINALLY LEAVES

-300 MILLION

Darn it. I'm about to lose it.

Welcome. Swing by my pancake joint.

HIS RANK IN ASSET IS FREE-FALLING

I guess I got my taste of gambling.

There was a moment earlier when I could've walked out.

The sign was clear.

I could sense my subconscious urging me to stop.

WAS IT THE TIME HE ALMOST CRIED AFTER LOSING 200 MILLION?

OR WAS IT THE TIME SOOK INVITED HIM TO THE MEAL?

If I had stopped then, I could've secured second or third place.

Why didn't I stop?

Let me think. A 50% chance…

TAP, TAP

SHOULD I STOP WHILE I STILL CAN?

-If I were to bet now, Director, -Yes?

could you spare me the show?

Of course.

This here is an honest pancake joint.

Black and white are your only choices. You're always welcome here.

Now, Woo-jae.

Your moments here

may or may not affect the following decade.

-Seriously, though. -Black or white.

-You can't help but wonder. -White or black.

What's with this place

with all these fake bills?

Why drive us to consider stooping to the lowest point?

Damn it…

All right. You never know how it will go.

Who says I'll keep losing?

I could start winning.

It's either black or white.

The odds are a whopping 50%.

LET'S BET ON THAT CHANCE

I heartily welcome your choice, Woo-jae.

Thank you for the 300 million won.

This here is an honest pancake joint.

Black or white. White or black.

FAILS TO HOLD IT IN

UNPERTURBED

IS WOO-JAE LOSING HIS COMPOSURE?

White.

One, two, three.

White.

One, two, three.

THESE TWO STATIONS ATE AWAY ALMOST 600 MILLION OF HIS ASSETS

WILL HE TAKE SOME BACK OR LOSE MORE?

Thank you.

-300 MILLION

This here is an honest pancake joint.

Black or white. White or Black.

GAMBLING HELPLINE DIAL 1336 WITHOUT AREA CODE

HE CRASHED AND BURNED

Real money can only be gained with blood and sweat,

not with dumb luck.

Let's have one Margherita.

-Margherita? -Yeah.

I'll have one Margherita, please.

MARGHERITA, 250 MILLION

-Margherita! -It's Sook's treat!

-I bet it will taste amazing! -Here we go, Margherita!

-Awesome! -Go, Sook, go!

Mouthwatering Margherita!

Mouthwatering Margherita coming right up.

That's taking up almost all my fortune.

THIS LADY LIVES FOR THE DAY

HUFFING AND PUFFING

AND YET…

THIS YOUNGSTER IS STRUGGLING IN AGONY, REFUSING TO EAT OR DRINK

ARRIVED AT HIS DESTINATION

CLIP-CLOP

WHINNYING

WHINNYING

Stop neighing, will you?

REVOLTING THE HORSEY WAY

CRUMPLES

LET'S JUST EARN THAT 50 MILLION QUICKLY

DELIVERY FAILED

NO, MY PRECIOUS 50-MILLION DELIVERY FEE!

You still need to return the horse.

CHEER UP, MASTER

-They're giving us free food. -What, ramyeon?

-Yeah, it's on the house. -That's incredible.

WOO-JAE FINALLY HAS HIS FIRST MEAL OF THE DAY

SLURPING

WOLFING IT DOWN

HE MAKES HIS LIVING FINE IN REAL LIFE…

Woo-jae must've been really starving.

I almost died, watching you have pork belly.

-You should've joined us, then. -Yeah.

You didn't have to fast.

I didn't have any money.

-As if. -I don't buy it.

He's putting up an act, all right.

MR. ZERO-CREDIBILITY

FRUSTRATED

The path to becoming the heir is so rocky.

You can each take a turn

to receive the winnings from the reputation surveys.

I wonder if I will gain or lose.

So the results aren't being shared.

PRIVATE ACCOUNTING SESSIONS BEGIN NOW

STARTING OFF WITH THE ELDEST MEMBER

Based on the surveys on your personal brand,

you have earned two billion.

Two billion?

SAE-HO'S MOTHER

Who do you think would be the best to promote Chanel, ma'am?

Sook, Kim Sook.

YOO SEON-HO, ACTOR

Rank my castmates on the likelihood of their crying on dating shows.

-What about fifth place? -Sook. I bet she'd never cry.

The person best suited to be the president gets the fifth place.

KIM JAE-YEONG, MODEL

-Next up are you and then Sook. -Oh, dang it. You little punk!

Hey, Car, the Garden. Can you rank my castmates on…

Who'd buy their gift secondhand?

I'm giving Sook the fifth place.

Tell me, why do I get the first place?

LOVELY LUNCH HOUR LEFT HER ONLY 80 MILLION

I was almost about to go broke.

This is the first time I'm seeing my portrait on the one-billion bill.

I'll keep it safe with me. Thank you.

NEXT UP IS SAE-HO

Based on the surveys on your personal brand,

you lost 50 million.

That means you have to pay 50 million.

I actually tightened the purse strings like never before.

Now that I've become a family man, I could restrain myself.

Still, what a bummer.

Let's find out the results of your personal brand surveys.

You earned nothing.

ZERO

HA-HA

Should I be glad?

PROBABLY?

Now, Woo-jae…

-All right, Jin-kyung. -Yes?

Let's discuss your earnings from the personal brand survey results.

The results of all the surveys show

that you have lost 500 million.

You have lost one billion.

REMOVING ONE BILLION FROM THE PACK

IS THAT ALL THAT'S LEFT?

Give him the car fare. That's the decent thing to do.

Is that… It's one million won.

CAR FARE FROM EARLIER

THAT 1 MILLION IS ALL THAT'S LEFT FOR HIM

But you never know, right?

Someone's balance might've hit zero.

-Is that all you have? -Yeah.

IS THAT A PROBLEM?

I'm still in good shape, right?

I CAN'T BE IN THE LAST PLACE

WHO AMONG THESE TWO RANKED LOWEST?

We're resuming the shoot after the sundae.

Sook must've received a huge sum.

This is the least I can do.

Oh, my. Look at that fat wad of cash!

-She's become a magnate. -I saw two billion-won bills.

-Oh, yeah? Seriously? -She has a couple of them.

The loser has already been narrowed down

to Jin-kyung and me.

You have one more game to go.

-Yeah. -There's one more?

-Okay. -We still have one more?

Has it been designed to make a come-from-behind victory possible?

The prize money at each tier varies, so it's possible.

Okay!

CURRENT STANDINGS - SOOK: 1.83B, WOO-JAE: 1M, OTHERS: MYSTERY

GATHERED FOR THE FINAL CHANCE TO TURN THE TABLES

I don't care what happens.

-I'm stuck down in this rabbit hole. -Oh, really?

I'm actually resenting the directors who didn't try to stop me.

Yeah, I feel you.

Culinary Guessing Wars' chef went too far.

-Yeah. -In what way?

He was too good.

Frankly, it didn't look like he was doing it on orders.

I'm sure he volunteered for the job.

SELF-ACTUALIZATION

Are the current numbers enough to keep the viewers interested?

-I should think so. -Really?

What do our assets have to do with this setup?

-I'm wondering the same thing. -All right…

What have they prepared this time?

Do you remember the message from Chairman Do this morning?

When his children caused him scandal…

HE DISOWNED THEM WITHOUT HESITATION

…he decided to disown them. That shows his concerns about owner risks.

Do you see yourself as well-prepared against potential risks?

I'm all about security.

-Hmm… -I put it first and foremost.

Who then was the gambler from earlier?

On, no. Let's forget I said that.

Gambling is a disease, you know.

You end up betting it again and again to win back the money you lost.

You lose your mind.

When Woo-jae finally joined us at the table, his eyes were red.

SUNKEN EYES

-They were all bloodshot. -Are you perhaps interested

-in a 500-million thigh wrestling? -See?

He's in serious trouble.

CALL 1366 TO SEEK HELP GAMBLING ONLY LEADS TO RUIN

We have one final mission left.

To remain unaffected by the various possible risks,

chaebols need a solid set of core muscles.

You're making a connection between this and chaebol like that?

You will see two major threats before you.

A balloon to your front

and a bowl of flour to your back.

The participants of each round must wear a headband studded with a pin

and do sit-ups.

Your game ends immediately if you pop the balloon.

Even if your head gets covered in flour or brushes upon the balloon,

you can continue on with the mission as long as the balloon remains intact.

So basically, we can get away with getting flour all over us?

That's correct.

You have a three-minute time limit.

Your rank will be decided on the number of sit-ups you performed.

First place receives 1 billion. Second place, 500 million.

Third place, 200 million.

Fourth place, 100 million. Fifth place, none.

If I don't make it to Where Is My Home tomorrow, make up a good excuse for me.

I'm going to go all out for this game.

Gee, I ate too much earlier.

It's going to be fine. Don't worry.

Can I take a dump before we begin?

-What's up with him? -Are you serious?

-I'm ready to bust. -Go take a bathroom break, then.

Let me give you a heads-up, Woo-young.

I just checked out the balloon myself.

EXAMINING THE WATER BALLOON

PUT A GRIN ON HIS FACE

It's filled with cold water.

-Really? -Yeah.

-He's right about that. -The moment you get splashed in it…

-Jeez, what is wrong with you? -…you'll be shivering nonstop.

Okay. Let's do this.

The order can likely play an important role here.

-I'll go first and lead by example. -Oh, no. You can go later.

Sook.

-I'm penniless, okay? -Shall I go first?

-Let's do rock, paper, scissors. -Seconded.

-We'll let the winner decide. -Okay.

-You snooze, you lose -You snooze, you lose

SOOK, 5TH PLACE

Rock, paper, scissors. Okay.

WOO-JAE, 3RD PLACE JIN-KYUNG, 4TH PLACE

WOO-YOUNG, 1ST PLACE SAE-HO, 2ND PLACE

-I got third place. -Take your pick.

I honestly don't think my footage can be aired.

Are you going to poop?

I'm being serious.

You'd become a legend if you did.

Can you take my place for 500 million?

That's not a bad deal.

I can gladly take your place.

Count me interested too.

Are you really experiencing some discomfort, Woo-young?

I'll try to keep myself in check, but please cut off my MIC.

Talk about full disclosure, am I right?

EXPLORE WOO-YOUNG'S CHARMS

-So, make your choice. -I'll go second.

-Second, huh? -And you, Sae-ho?

-I'll go third. -And you, Woo-jae?

Surely not first, right?

I'm sticking with my choice to go first.

-Really? -He must feel confident.

I'll go last.

Okay, I'll go fourth followed by Jin-kyung.

THE ORDER IS ALL SET UP

MAKING PREPARATIONS

Let me take that, Woo-jae.

NUDGES

WHISPERS

SNICKERING

SWAP PLACES STEALTHILY

How diabolical.

CASTMATES MAY CAUSE TROUBLE WITH THE BALLOON

Anyway, how far do you have to raise your torso to count as one sit-up?

Just a second.

I don't want Jin-kyung managing it.

It doesn't work that way.

Remember, I'm all about quid pro quo.

Keep that in mind, okay?

I'M GIVING IT UP, THEN

Let's play it fair today.

Yeah, we should be able to count the sit-ups properly.

SPEECHLESS

-I'll wear it like this… -You've done it correctly.

I should tighten it here, too.

THIS LADY STILL SEEMS TO BE CLINGING TO HER DREAMS

WHISPERS

SCHEMING AGAIN

-You're switching places again? -No way.

-If you pull this on me, I'll retaliate. -Don't worry about it.

I'm not getting involved.

I'm way back here.

-Ready. -All right.

Set…

HIGHLY LIKELY TO BE GIVEN THE PENALTY

WITH ONLY 1 MILLION WON IN HIS POSSESSION

GO

Okay. One.

-Two. -Two.

-Three. -Three.

Four.

-Five. -He's doing so well.

-Six. -No ducking or turning.

-Oh, man… -Seven…

What on earth?

Seven…

What on earth?

Let's get back to the game… Oh, look. He freaked out.

CAN THIS DAY GET ANY WORSE?

-I thought this had popped. -It held too much water.

-He got shaken real bad. -That was terrifying.

That was a major shocker. I'm so glad I didn't go first.

Are you okay, Woo-jae?

How are you holding up?

It was fortifying… I mean, horrifying.

My six sit-ups still count, right?

No, you have to start from scratch.

Oh, please. My abs remember their hard work.

You had your legs placed in the course of the balloon, right?

-Let's have the half count. -All right.

-Give me four. -Let's keep it at three.

-Give it a rest. -Make it four, dang it!

Woo-jae must be feeling pretty desperate seeing how adamant he is about that.

-You can't keep your legs in one place. -That was rather pathetic.

Let's resume the game.

Ready, go.

Five.

-Six. -Oh, man.

THE DESPERATION THAT DROVE WOO-JAE TO CAUSE A SCENE

ALSO MADE HIM GIVE HIS ALL

-He's going for it. -Twenty.

Twenty-one.

SPOOKED

-Twenty-four. -He's good.

-Thirty. -He's lasted for so long.

Thirty-one.

-Should I just wear that damned costume? -Keep on going.

ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT OF TAUNTING HIM

-Get back up. -I could always wash my hair.

REPENTING HIS MISTAKES…

Forty. Wow, that's a big number.

…HE THREW HIMSELF INTO THE GAME

Forty-seven.

Forty-nine.

-Fifty. -Okay.

-Lie down. -Stop.

SINKS DOWN

He's out.

PASSES OUT AFTER 50 SIT-UPS

Fifty sit-ups aren't an easy feat.

-What are you doing? -You two…

Fifty sit-ups aren't an easy feat.

-What are you doing? -You two…

WHAT DO THEY THINK THEY'RE DOING?

-Oops. Sorry. -Get back up already.

His time is up.

-Okay. He did a lot. -Fifty sit-ups.

AND I CAN'T DO MORE…

My gosh. I mean…

Woo-jae must be at the bottom.

He's never gone all out like this.

He's leading this mission so far.

Shall we call it a day?

-Yeah, let's wrap it up. -I'd like that.

-I'd be fine with that, too. -Okay.

We can do that if we all drop out, right?

What was that?

But if Woo-jae wins one billion, you might end up at the bottom.

I'll wear that costume, then. I don't mind.

-That looks worse to me. I mean that. -I'd rather take the costume too.

You'll receive the prize money for your efforts, so it wasn't in vain.

-I'm giving up. -Me too.

I'M TELLING MY MOM ON YOU

I'm really feeling off, guys.

What if I…

You can bleep things out on Netflix, right?

NATURE'S CALL ISSUES

Your pants are brown, so you'll be fine.

-Yeah, you'll be all right. -Darn it.

I haven't done sit-ups in ages.

WORRIED

Oh, no.

I had too much to eat.

What do I do? Just a minute.

-I'm so sorry. -What was that for?

-Just a minute. -I'm so sorry.

What was that for?

-Seriously, Jin-kyung! -My bad.

Please get in position.

-Ready, go. -You timed the balloon perfectly.

One.

Take pity on me. Two.

Two.

-Three. -Three.

Ouch, my stomach. Four.

Five… Gee, my stomach hurts!

-Six. -I might have to poop!

-Eight. -Could I, though?

-Nine. -Everyone, please leave.

-Eleven. -Wait, I'm serious.

Twelve.

HOLD IT IN, OR YOU'RE DOOMED

-Fifteen. -He's in danger.

Wait.

-Sixteen… Goodness. -Oh, my.

HIS STOMACH HURTS, AND THE BALLOON SCARES HIM

-You aren't sitting up properly. -Fifteen.

Lift your torso further.

SPOOKED

BECOMING THE MAN FROM MUNCH'S "THE SCREAM"

Lift up your upper body more.

THE HELLISH TRIFECTA OF WATER BALLOON, NATURE'S CALL, AND FLOUR

-Your eyes-- -Oh, no!

-Your eyes-- -Oh, no!

AT LEAST HE AVOIDED A MAJOR CRISIS

He did 29 sit-ups, right?

Did you poop your pants?

I did feel a little bit of release.

I felt the pop.

CHECKING HIS PANTS

Did I do 25?

-Can you tell us? -Twenty-nine.

You did 29 sit-ups.

How on earth did I manage to do 50?

-Tell me about it. -You did great.

I can't remember, actually.

You're all set.

Wow, the headband looks good on you.

-Jin-kyung's got a new glint in her eyes. -Wait, guys…

There she goes again.

GRINNING EAR TO EAR ALREADY

-The swinging motion… -Hold your hands like so.

-That's it. -It's moving too fast.

-Back and forth. -Way too fast.

-No, that's suitable. -No way. It's too fast!

That's how it moved for me too.

Get ready.

-One. -Sit up properly.

Two.

-Sit up properly. -Two.

Three.

-You can't turn away from the balloon. -Four.

THINGS ARE RUNNING SMOOTHER THAN WE THOUGHT

-Six. -One second.

Seven.

HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE

SO HAPPY

Nine. Ten.

WE'RE AT YOUR SERVICE

TO DELIVER AN ENDLESS BARRAGE OF SWINGS

Nine. Ten.

DEFENSELESS

Eleven.

IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THIS WAS INEVITABLE

-What on earth is this? -Let's take it easy.

CALM DOWN AND SIT UP SLOWLY

THESE TROUBLEMAKERS ARE OVER THE MOON

I teared up from laughing so hard.

THEIR VICTIM IS UPSET

You can't just do whatever you'd like.

TEARS

With games, you have to have sportsmanship.

But you guys…

You acted like kids with an all-day pass at an amusement park.

That just wasn't right.

The balloon didn't swing back and forth like so.

Instead, it just swung down on you.

Those who play later have it worse.

That's why I urged you to go first. I took my own advice.

AT ANY RATE, SAE-HO'S RECORD IS 11 SIT-UPS

Am I wearing the headband correctly?

-You too will-- -Gosh, that's terrifying!

How on earth have you guys handled it?

-It's sheer terror. -Oh, no.

-Wait! Just a second! -Ready, go.

-Oh, no. -One.

NARROWLY MISSING THE MARK

-Wait! -Go on. Two.

I'm getting a gust of wind.

Come on, it's not fair to hang it low enough to meet my hands.

Go on. Two.

Three.

ITS PURPOSE HAS LONG BEEN FORGOTTEN

EMBRACE YOUR FATE

CIRCLING

Guys, it's moving in a circle! It's so frightening!

THE BALLOON BLEW UP ALMOST CHEERFULLY

That sound was incredible.

MISERABLE

I can't do this. It's just too hilarious.

CRYING HIS EYES OUT

HAPPINESS INDEX AT 100%

She stood no chance either, did she?

You guys shoved it right into my face.

But I swear Jin-kyung and I managed it in a regular fashion. Don't you agree?

NO, YOU DIDN'T

The balloon spun round and round.

I didn't have enough room to move

-with it going in circles. -That was priceless.

SOOK'S RECORD STANDS AT 7 SIT-UPS

-Oh, dear. It's getting to me. -That was golden.

ONE CAST MEMBER SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT IT'S HER TURN NOW

Jin-kyung, going last won't be exactly good for you.

I had a blast so far,

but now my mood has turned sour.

Oh, I like it. It's set up perfectly.

It weighs just right and even looks cute.

Here's the thing, Jin-kyung. We partnered up earlier for the balloon,

and you know that I keep a regular tempo.

So, I'm giving you a choice now.

I swear I won't pull tricks.

REALLY?

On the other hand… Look at Sae-ho messing around.

RUNNING WILD

Shall we let him take the reins alone?

We're giving you a choice.

Pick two among us.

And? What do I get from choosing you?

-I won't mess around. -Look at him go.

Just see what Sae-ho is up to.

I'M READY FOR TROUBLE 24/7

Woo-young and I are roughly the same height.

Is that right?

-Then I'll go with you two. -Okay.

Okay.

You don't like this?

Stop it. Just stop.

DO YOU EVEN HAVE TO ASK?

You look even taller lying down.

Get ready.

Take it easy, Jin-kyung.

-It's so frightening. -Don't let it get to you.

But I'm terrified.

Your time starts now.

-Ready, go. -Keep this tempo.

Just relax.

One.

-Two. -Two.

-Three. -Three.

You're doing great.

-Four. -Four.

-It's still terrifying. -Five.

-Three. -Three.

A FURTIVE GLANCE

THE BALLOON STARTS TO MOVE AT A MORE EXTREME ANGLE

CRUMPLED

EVERYONE RUNS AWAY

That wasn't us. I swear we didn't do that.

It wasn't us.

-No… -Yeah, that wasn't our doing.

BUT YOU DANGLED IT DANGEROUSLY LOW FROM THE START

A BALLOON EATING SHOW

ITS IMPACT LINGERS

Where did he go?

-We made a heck of a show today. -You're so mean.

COVERS UP HER MOUTH

Of all the things to eat, you chose a balloon?

Why would you chew on it?

It popped so nice and neat.

-Deliciously so. -It looked so cute, too.

AS REFRESHING AS A SODA COMMERCIAL

AS THE HOUR GROWS LATE…

Let me announce the results of the game.

The winner is Woo-jae.

-Congrats. You won a billion. -Gosh, that's insane.

Can we call it a win, though?

That would help you avoid placing at the bottom, at least.

You can't say that. You don't know how much I have.

The runner-up is Woo-young.

-How much does he get? -You won 500 million.

That might've gotten him to the top.

In third place is Sae-ho. Congrats, you won 200 million.

What a bummer.

Sook and Jin-kyung are tied at fourth place.

You'll both receive 100 million each.

We did… I mean, we still did our best.

Now, I'll announce the final results.

We held Chaebol Heir Audition today.

Let's find out the lucky chaebol heir

set to receive a prize money of one million won.

I'll announce third place first.

You're off the hook if you place third.

It's sweet compared to lower ranks…

-We only need to avoid being the loser. -Yeah, exactly.

-I'll announce third place. -Let's hear it.

Please let it be me.

-It's better, nice and clean. -Name me. I want to stay in the middle.

-Congratulations, Sae-ho. -Oh, yes!

What a lucky guy. But at the end of the day--

-I'm not getting the penalty, right? -That's correct.

-You placed third after that 200 million? -Yeah.

So you didn't have much.

And I've said so countless times!

But I saw you holding a bunch of 100-million-won bills.

It wasn't a bunch. I only had a few.

Next, I'll announce the runner-up.

Congratulations, Woo-young.

Maybe I was meant to place second today.

-I'll now announce the winner. -It must be Sook.

That's for sure.

He just won a billion.

You're the chaebol heir, Sook!

THERE WAS NO PLOT-TWIST SOOK BECOMES DORA-GROUP'S HEIR

But I didn't do much.

You earned a lot from the reputation surveys.

Oh, the personal brand image…

-All those calls… -I see it now.

Look. I won the final game with 50 sit-ups,

but I'm still struggling to avoid placing last.

Considering that the three of us ranked pretty high,

could we dress a bit nicely for the next shoot?

-No. -No?

He said no.

How far do we have to go, then?

You just made things awkward for no reason.

What exactly would we have to prepare?

How far do we have to go?

It is finally time to announce the day's glorious loser.

Here we have the greatest rivals of Screwballs.

They're a match made in heaven.

OR A MATCH MADE IN HELL

Who is the loser of the day?

Congratulations, Jin-kyung.

MIXED FEELINGS

…Jin-kyung.

GOT YOU, SCAREDY-CAT

ROARS

I'M SAFE!

-Are you satisfied? -She's lost all her energy.

You must've been really low on funds.

Would you look at that? He saved himself with 50 sit-ups.

Can you tell us how we fared?

I'll tell you the numbers.

The winner, Sook, had 1.93 billion.

The runner-up, Woo-young, had 1.145 billion.

What? You little punk!

Third place, Sae-ho, had 1.14 billion.

Fourth place was Woo-jae. He had 1.001 billion.

So you weren't in the red.

I only had a measly one million.

-One million… -This single bill was all I had.

Turns out I always kept you company.

Prepare to be amazed by Jin-kyung's assets.

-I wonder how much she had. -Her final balance…

stood at zero.

-What happened to you? -You had nothing?

Before the final game, she was 100 million in debt,

but the 100-million prize money balanced that out.

So she came from nothing and returned to nothing.

-I suppose so. -Back to square one.

ALL DAY LONG, SHE PUT HER PELVIS TO WORK

AS WELL AS HER THIGHS AND HER FACIAL MUSCLES

DON'T FORGET HER HIP JOINTS EITHER

SHE EVEN STOLE BITES FROM SAE-HO'S DISH

IT SEEMED LIKE SHE WAS SAVING UP FINE

That wasn't us.

Her final balance stood at zero.

I feel so bad for Jin-kyung.

Moving on…

Jin-kyung, your costume for the next shoot

will be chosen by your castmates.

I promise to pitch as many ideas as I can.

Wait, Director. I have one request.

Could you film our group chat as we discuss her outfit of the day?

Someone should be on watch to prevent her from trying to tell us off.

She may even call us privately.

It is my pleasure to announce Sook as Dora-Group's heir!

-Congratulations! -Way to go!

-I see how it is. -Sook, thanks for the sundae earlier.

So I became the heir. Thank you, everyone.

You weren't lying!

Here's your reward, one million won in cash.

This is crazy. Can it be real?

It's real.

A BUNDLE OF REAL CASH

MESMERIZED

Oh, my. They weren't lying.

-Why don't I count them for you? -That's not necessary.

It's hefty, all right.

I'm holding one million won.

I haven't touched cash in a long time.

So you're not playing tricks now that we're on Netflix.

We barely fit that in an envelope.

I'll use it for a good cause.

I'm told that Dora-Group had arranged

a full itinerary for their new heir.

In fact, Chairman Do requested that you attend an event immediately.

SNORTS

Please grace the event with your presence.

-We'll be delighted. -You mean Sook only?

Not at all. Please attend it together.

But Sook will be the star

-while the others will be honored guests. -Oh, we get it.

-I thought winning was the end. -Please head to the conference room.

-It's a celebratory ceremony. -You prepared all that? Wow.

-Hey, Jin-kyung. -Let's all move.

Who would you be? Han Ki-bum or Ha Seung-jin?

She's dressed up as Mr. Han many times already.

THE HEIR'S LIFE RUNS ON A TIGHT SCHEDULE

Can we go right in?

Sook, please take the center stage and grace the event.

Please open the doors and walk in together.

What kind of event…

What kind of event…

THE HEIR'S FIRST OFFICIAL OUTING SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS' NIGHT

AN OMINOUS-LOOKING UNICORN

THE FIRST PUBLIC EVENT SEEMS TO HAVE MADE THE HEIR NERVOUS

BUT HER GUESTS SEEM ELATED

-Kim Sook! -Kim Sook!

A MEANINGFUL EVENT FOR THE NATION'S

7.66M SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS

WELL, THAT'S AWKWARD

THE LOSERS ARE IN BETTER SPIRITS

Way to go, guys!

Thank you for coming, everyone.

Let's welcome Ms. Kim Sook with warm applause!

HERE'S OUR CHAEBOL HEIR

APPROACHING THE UNICORN DEMURELY

She's come a long way today.

-Please hop on, Sook. -I haven't seen this in a long while.

And now, Sook is on her way!

DAWDLING

SWOOSH

ESCORTED TO THE MYSTERIOUS BOX

"VLOG, A DAY IN CHAEBOL HEIR'S LIFE"

I should've gotten the hint from the envelope.

It somehow reminded me of Experience All Walk of Life.

I thought, "Wow, it's taking me back."

So, Sook. You're here to perform a great act of charity today.

Can you tell us how you're feeling?

"VLOG, A DAY IN CHAEBOL HEIR'S LIFE"

To be honest, I had a dream.

I've had my eye

-on this new tent, you see. -I see.

A new item…

The prize money would've been just enough to buy the tent and a stove.

-So my shopping cart… -You gave it a look.

-I did so with joy, too. -I see.

But the truth is,

my camping gear hardly matters.

Let's give it up for Sook!

I'll use it for a good cause.

AND SHE FOUND ONE

THAT'S THE WRONG ENVELOPE

OBLIVIOUS, EVERYMAN CREW CONTINUES TO CHEER FOR SOOK

This isn't it. Where's the other envelope?

-Sorry? -The other one.

-That holds two billion. -I insist.

-Don't use the game money. -But that's worth two billion.

-Come on. Take it out. -Let's applaud Sook

for making this generous decision.

YOU ROCK, MY FRIEND

HERE'S THE ENVELOPE HOLDING REAL PRIZE MONEY

I thought you might not do it.

As for the others…

SNEER, EMBARRASSED

HER HANDS WERE FASTER THAN HUMAN EYES

She stole a few bills.

She's kept exactly 100,000 won.

That's for our dinner, 20,000 won per person.

Even so…

You still have to do the right thing.

A DEEP SIGH

I was truly happy, if only for a short while.

HALTS

Let's give it up for Sook!

OH, I ALMOST MISSED THAT

AN UNASKED, UNEXPECTED DONATION

For the small business owners!

-Magnanimous like a true chaebol! -Way to go!

Chaebols are so noble!

A TRUE ACT OF NOBLESSE OBLIGE

WE CAN'T BELIEVE SHE DONATED IT ALL

You guys are really something.

You're so sneaky.

I'M NOT LETTING YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS

CLICHÉ IN CHAEBOL SHOWS

One, two, three.

IT WAS JUST A DREAM

-Good work, everyone. -Good work, everyone.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS -SMALL BUSINESS OWNER

Thank you for coming all this way.

CAST AND CREW OF SCREWBALLS LAND IN BUSAN

-Today's theme is "Besties Trip in Busan." -"Besties Trip"?

-Today may be therapeutic. -That's Busan for you!

You're not from Busan, actually.

So why are you playing the know-it-all?

Are you picking a fight this early?

I won't ever try it with Woo-jae again.

Crackers.

I've been meaning to say that, you jerk!

-What is 6 times 8? -It's 48.

-What is 7 times 9? -Oh, come on.

FORGET ABOUT FRIENDSHIP

ANY LOSS TRIGGERS AN UPROAR

I'm so mad.

Just what about this trip screams friendship?

AND YET…

What are you doing?

A LIFE WITHOUT FRIENDS CAN BE MONOTONOUS

Here's one going your way.

That can drive anyone mad.

A DANGEROUS JOURNEY TO BE REUNITED WITH FRIENDS

AN EPIC JOURNEY TO REBUILD FRIENDSHIP

What's that? Goodness.

TO OVERCOME THE DIFFICULTIES AHEAD,

THEY MUST JOIN THEIR FORCES

-Gosh, it's nerve-racking. -It's okay, Woo-jae.

HEARTWARMING TEAMWORK OF FRIENDS

AS ALWAYS, THEIR FRIENDSHIP…

GROWS STRONGER AFTER A ROUGH PATCH

-We have such a strong bond. -Tell me about it.
