Original subtitles

-We've only heard her voice so far. -That's right.

HOME OF WOO-YOUNG'S LOVING FAMILY

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

Today may be therapeutic.

He's my mom's least favorite.

THEY GOT OFF TO A ROCKY START

Rice puffs.

I've been meaning to say that!

Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup.

Did you really have to say that?

WHEN THEY STARTED TO DOUBT THAT THEY WERE BESTIES…

For the next leg of our journey, we'll split into two teams.

Your first option is trekking.

-Your second option is riding. -Riding.

-Let's depart for the next segment. -Okay.

TREKKERS, RIDERS

We'll take off for our next destination shortly,

and we'll drop off the trekkers on our way.

-Hear that? We're driving onward. -That's what we'll do first.

They get a lift.

-I knew it. -You three will regret it soon.

Remember what they did with our meal? There may be a twist with our task too.

-He's got a point. -Don't jinx it.

-You'll be burnt out by the end. -You're bringing us bad luck.

Are any of you afraid of heights?

-Aren't we all, to some degree? -Why would he ask that?

-Why bring it up? -You tried bungee jumping.

-Watch it. -I doubt there's a similar facility here.

-Hey, don't join him on this one. -Look.

-Don't feed them new ideas! -I got it now.

Isn't there a diving facility on top of Taejongdae, Woo-young?

-Skydiving-- -Stop it, Sook!

There's no such thing on Taejongdae.

I got it, Jin-kyung.

They'll make you get on a plane so that you can skydive.

Airplane-riding.

-Skydiving? -You're driving me insane.

Look, the trekking is bound to wear you out.

-Yeah. -There's no use in worrying.

-None at all. -That's true.

Just take a nap.

-This isn't it? -Where are your work ethics?

Did I go too far?

I was just trying to banter.

Oh, this is the place.

ARRIVED WHILE THEY WERE HAVING A GOOD LAUGH

It's called the Culture Village.

I did a shoot here once before.

-So this is the Huinnyeoul-gil. -Yes, Sook and I get to visit the place.

Wait, you want us to take a stroll here in our costumes?

Of course.

Oh, man…

-Here's your stop, Sook and Woo-jae. -Okay!

-All right. -Have fun, guys.

-Good luck to you too. -See you later.

A PICTURESQUE OCEAN SCENE

What a killer view.

-Are you familiar with this place? -Of course.

This is Huinnyeoul Culture Village in Yeongdo, Busan.

It is said that the water rushing in to join the ocean seemed like snow,

which led to it being named Huinnyeoul, meaning white rapids.

Take a stroll along the road and take in the view of the village.

When you reach the K section,

you'll see a café painted yellow.

Let's take a walk and look for the yellow café.

Feel free to enjoy the view.

A yellow café in the K section?

OFF THEY GO TO THEIR NEW DESTINATION!

-There are so many cafés here. -Dang it. Just now,

I saw my reflection in the mirror back there.

A FEW STEPS BACK

JUST A GLANCE

PEOPLE MAY THINK YOU'RE HERE TO PERFORM

Don't worry about it.

-You look good. -It's mortifying.

No, you look just fine.

Here's what I pictured for our trip.

We'd gather at Busan Station in our costumes,

-All looking cool? -shoot a fun opening bit,

and get changed to normal attire.

I thought we'd tour the city carrying a backpack for each of us.

-What is this place? Wow. -Oh, my.

That's amazing.

Gosh, is that laser engraving?

-Engraving photos onto wood panels. -That's neat.

-That's actually cool. -I like the idea.

Is that a café? Let's have a cup of coffee.

It's our treat. Let's all get a cup.

-The ice cream also looks good, no? -That looks amazing.

WHILE THE TREKKERS ENJOY AN UNEXPECTED MOMENT OF PEACE…

Let's resume our journey. We can stay on the bus.

Hear that? We get to ride the bus all the way.

I hope the bus takes us all the way to our lodgings.

AND YET, THE WINDING ROAD SEEMS TO TAKE THEM UPHILL

Why are we going high up?

-The Yeongdo area has changed so much. -What?

Guys, there's something at the top.

Up where, Jin-kyung?

-I'm sure I saw something. -I should've gotten off the bus.

-I should've gotten off! -I saw it!

But there's nothing.

Why are you looking away, Director Park?

-I don't see anything. -Why are you avoiding me?

-Don't you see that up there? -What do you mean?

Look at the trains of multiple wires.

I bet they're for electricity.

ARE THEY POWER LINES?

Oh, I get it!

It says "Ocean Flying." Dang!

WHAT DID SAE-HO SEE?

That goes on way too long.

It's way up high.

WELCOME TO THE ZIP-LINE

That's not so different from bungee jumping.

AN INCREDIBLE HEIGHT

I can't handle that.

-Just how… -Don't put us through it!

Don't you dare pull over!

THE TEAM'S MINIBUS

Are you serious? This is insane.

REACHED THEIR STOP

-Darn it. -I made the wrong choice.

I did get the weird vibe earlier.

-Did we make a careless choice? -Obviously.

What do we do now?

CLIMBING UP WITH BITTER REGRET

We're up quite high.

IN FACT, IT'S WAY TOO HIGH

First things first. Those of you who chose riding,

welcome.

DEEP SIGH

The cast has been divided into two teams, the trekkers and the riders.

For this mission, each team has to find hints at their tour site.

You'll then combine them

to find out your accommodations for the night.

THERE'S A CATCH

If you fail to find the hints,

you won't be able to check in at your lodgings.

Where do we sleep, then?

I guess you could crash at Woo-young's parents'.

What is wrong with you people?

ISN'T IT NICE TO VISIT YOUR BESTIE'S PLACE?

As you can see, this place has an amazing view of the ocean.

This is Taejongdae.

The Taejongdae zip-line course traverses Busan's beach area.

It is 653 meters long,

and its top speed is 70 kilometers per hour.

As you travel down the zip-line course,

you'll see Mr. Hint on the other lane.

Observe him carefully

to learn a hint of our next destination.

Have you ever tried zip-lining, Jin-kyung?

-No. -How about you, Woo-young?

I can't say I have.

-I tried zip-lining twice. -I see.

At any rate, we all must try it, correct?

If the first to zip-line spots Mr. Hint and learns the hint correctly,

the others will be off the hook.

-Then-- -You can go first, Sae-ho.

I should go last because--

-No, no. -Look.

What if I fail to get the hint?

No, you're bound to get it.

I don't think it will be so easy to spot.

-Just… -I trust you.

Make something up.

Make it up? Our lodging depends on it.

-We have his place. -Make what up?

Yeah, we have our house.

Anyway, let's go sign a liability waiver.

-Okay, let's get moving. -Does zip-lining require one too?

H, I, J…

-There it is. -We're here.

-The yellow building. -Look, yellow.

THEY'VE REACHED THE K SECTION

Here's the yellow building. We've arrived.

A FEW STEPS MORE, AND THE YELLOW CAFÉ WELCOMES YOU

Gosh, you look amazing against this colorful backdrop.

You're a stunner.

SUMMONING WOO-YOUNG FROM '09

You really are killing it today.

With these colors.

Woo-young would hate that dance so much.

Watch out. The stairs are steep.

I'll now tell you your mission.

We have hidden hints all over the yellow café.

All over the building?

THE MISSION SITE COVERS THE ENTIRE 3-STORY BUILDING

CLUES IN EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY

The containers holding the clues have the show's logo.

Oh, do they say "Screwballs"?

MISSION CARD

FIND HIDDEN TASKS AND CARRY OUT MISSIONS

SCAN QR CODES TO OBTAIN HINTS ABOUT THEIR LODGINGS FOR THE NIGHT

HUNT FOR HINTS STARTS NOW

Shall we, then?

Ma'am.

He's trying to find a shortcut again.

Do you know where the crew hid the hints?

No, I don't.

Let's talk discreetly later.

Okay, then.

I appreciate it.

Let me see. So they have the show's logo?

CURRENTLY IN THE ANNEX'S 1ST FLOOR

The logo…

Oh, I found one!

-Where is it? -It's here.

SPOTTED: A SAFE HOLDING THE FIRST HINT

-We need a code. -What's this?

TAKES OUT THE FIRST MISSION CARD

"Review the sentences below

and find ones without errors."

Let's sit down for a bit.

Go on. Sit. We're in for trouble.

"How dare you nitpick? This is the first time…"

"What's the occasion?" That's correct?

Yeah, options 1 and 5 don't have errors.

I'm not sure about option 7, though.

I got it!

Go on. Tell me the code.

One, five, seven.

Will it open?

-My gosh, Woo-jae. -There we go.

SOLUTION TIME

TEMPERTURE, ACCOMODATE, LISENCE, DEFINATELY, BOARING, SEPERATELY

TEMPERATURE, ACCOMMODATE, LICENSE, DEFINITELY, BORING, SEPARATELY

THE ANSWERS ARE 1, 5, AND 7

-What on earth? -Hold on. Where's my phone?

How are you so smart? I can't believe it only took one go.

THE HINT IS ONLY A SCAN AWAY

WHAT DOES THE FIRST HINT SAY?

WOW, AREN'T YOU SMART?

"Wow, aren't you smart?"

What? That's it?

-What on earth? -It's a dud.

What now?

What does it say? Let me see.

I can't even… What on earth is this?

There are some duds.

ONLY 5 QR CODES LEAD TO ACTUAL HINTS

That's so annoying.

No wonder that one was easy to find.

-There's another one. -Where?

There, in the kitchen.

-Where in the kitchen? -Here.

TAKES OUT THE SECOND MISSION CARD

"Jin-kyung has three of these whereas Sae-ho and Woo-jae have none."

"Solve this riddle to find the code."

WHAT CAN THAT MEAN?

KIM SOOK, SCREWBALLS, JANG WOO-YOUNG

I've got it.

It's talking about final consonants.

We have two final consonants,

zero, and then two more.

He's so clever.

He must be an actual genius.

HIGH HOPES

-"Impressive." Are you for real? -Jeez, you're asking for a smack.

THAT MESSAGE DOES STIR UP ONE'S BASE URGES

-I really should teach them a lesson. -Darn it.

I'll go check upstairs…

There's another one here, Sook.

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE ALREADY

-Another one? -Let's solve this together.

That's 100 times 1 over cos60…

THE SIGHT TERRIFIES THIS MATH-QUITTER

AT A LOSS FOR WORDS

I would've been so lost if I had come alone.

NEXT TO THIS LOST SOUL IS A MUMBLING MAN

RECONNECTING WITH HIS OLD ENGINEERING DAYS

CONTINUES TO MUMBLE WITHOUT MAKING NOTES

Four hundred…

Four hundred?

YOU SOLVED IT ALREADY?

OPEN IN 10 SECONDS

How is it 400?

WOO-JAE WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED THESE FACTS

If the missions are on this level,

the other team is hopeless.

That's what I'm worried about.

SO, WHAT DOES THE HINT SAY?

"Man, you're smart enough to go to top schools."

THREE CONSECUTIVE DUDS

We're so screwed.

What do you think you're doing?

Seriously, what the heck…

SPOOKED

If you could explain how you solved it…

Why would I bother? It was a dud.

This is your chance to show off your splendid math skills.

This really riles me up, Sook.

Regardless, if all mission questions are roughly on this level,

the other team would have…

Would it be acceptable to smash the safes open?

-Furthermore, who needs the solution? -Can we smash it open?

I bet anyone can solve it with mental math.

-That's a no-brainer. -What's it about? I have no clue.

What grade level is this covered in?

Grades 10 to 12?

-Gosh, why can't I solve it? -Sook.

-I'll go check upstairs. -Okay.

MOVING UP TO THE TERRACE ON THE ANNEX'S 2ND FLOOR

Did you plant clues outside?

Hey, I found one.

It's annoying how we can't know which may be a dud.

HIS LUCK ISN'T HELPING HIM FIND THE REAL HINTS

The place is larger than I thought.

-Did you find another one? -Yeah.

I see one more in the back.

THIS TIME, SHE TRIES ONE ON HER OWN

"One person died after a clapping sound."

"What were they doing before their death?"

A CLAPPING SOUND? SOMEONE DIED?

WOO-JAE ALSO TAKES OUT A MISSION CARD OF HIS OWN

"Here is the menu of Café Screwballs."

"Decipher each drink's name

and enter the number of syllables of their full name in Korean."

IA, MSGR, CORN/SEC LATTE

IA for Iced Americano.

Oh, that's misugaru.

Per second as in "chodang," corn, and latte.

That's Chodang Corn Latte.

I've got it.

THIS GUY KNOWS ALL THE NEW LINGOS

THEY'RE BOUND TO GIVE ME A HINT THIS TIME

DUDE, SPEAK KOREAN, ALL RIGHT?

I'VE HAD ENOUGH

Seriously, what the hell is this?

SOMEHOW, HE KEEPS FINDING THE DUDS

Look, Sook. How can they keep doing…

Hey, I've hit the jackpot. This has to give us a legit hint.

DID SOOK OPEN A SAFE TOO?

LET'S GO BACK TO THE MOMENT WHEN SHE FIRST READ THE QUIZ

After a clapping sound?

They were playing the 369 Game.

TRICK QUESTION SOLVED IN ONE GO

Gosh, I did it.

Oh, my.

WILL SHE FIND A TRUE HINT AS SHE HOPED?

"Dae."

-It's a hint. -We found one.

-A hint! -Hold on.

-"Dae." -"Dae."

-Our first hint is "Dae." -As in Haeundae?

Alternatively,

it can be a part of our accommodation's name,

-something like "Daemyeong." -Haeundae…

I cracked the quiz.

"One person died after a clapping sound."

"What were they doing before their death?"

It only took me one go.

One person died after a clapping sound?

What were they doing? I can't imagine what.

The 369 Game, of course.

Three, six, nine Three, six, nine

One. Two.

Dang, that's the answer?

Trick questions are right up my alley.

You know what? We're a perfect pair.

Our team has the brain and the trickster.

-Yeah. -Hurry. Let's crack them all.

-I'm good with these. -Let's go through all of them.

To be honest, I was getting worried about facing trick questions.

-With you here, we're invincible. -I'm the expert with those.

MOVING ON TO THE 3RD FLOOR TERRACE

Here's another one.

A NEW CLUE SPOTTED

Another trick question.

"Complete the formula for your code."

"How wealthy is the richest dressing?"

-That's Thousand Island dressing. -So, 1,000 islands.

-In Korean, "oil" sounds like five days. -So, five.

"What's the number that can get anyone to stand up?"

WHAT IS THE NUMBER THAT CAN GET ANYONE TO STAND UP?

-This number can get people to stand up? -One hundred?

WHAT IS THE NUMBER THAT CAN GET ANYONE TO STAND UP?

A number that makes us get up…

Stand up…

THIS TROUBLES HIM MORE THAN THE MATH QUIZZES

Would we have to consider English words or just stick to numbers?

SHE SAID THESE TRICK QUESTIONS WERE HER SPECIALTY…

A number that makes people stand up.

-Get them up… Stand up. -Get up.

It could be something like, "Fire!"

Sure, that would get folks on their feet.

WHAT IS THE NUMBER THAT CAN GET ANYONE TO STAND UP?

What can it be?

Dang. I'll go find other clues first.

-Oh, my! What on earth? -What happened? What was the code?

TRYING OUT RANDOM CODES ON THE LOCK

SHE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO UNLOCK IT

I don't know what happened.

-It was five. -You're right.

Five. For high fives.

-High fives! -High fives!

-Five! -Five!

-That was the only one I couldn't solve. -That's true.

MASTER OF TRICKS AND GUESSES

"Gu."

What was it earlier, "dae"? We have "dae" and "gu," like Daegu.

DAEGU NO WAY WE'D GO THAT FAR…

-I bet it's Haeundae-gu. -Haeundae-gu.

It's bound to be a place in Haeundae-gu.

The answer still cracks me up. Five for high five.

I knew these troublemakers would try to pull our legs.

Let's have a neat rock-paper-scissors. There's no reason why I should go first.

How is that game "neat"?

Let's time five seconds on a stopwatch. The one who gets closest gets to go last.

You can't rig that unlike the rock-paper-scissors.

ANTI-CHEATING MEASURES

I'll go first. Here goes.

Ready, go.

-Okay, so that's 4.92 seconds. -Goodness.

NEXT UP IS WOO-YOUNG

TAP

He got 4.85 seconds.

I get the feeling I'll place last.

-Oh, 4.90 seconds. -Good. I get to go second.

That's right. Let's review the results.

I got 4.92, she got 4.90, and he got 4.85.

-Please sign your waivers. -Oh, right.

FEELING UNEASY

I weigh 70 kilograms…

SUPPLIED PERSONAL INFO FOR SAFETY

AND RECEIVED SAFETY TRAINING

Do you have further questions?

Why are we… even doing this?

Just get going.

I should've chose trekking!

Guys, no. I just can't do this.

It's so scary!

CAN THEY OVERCOME THEIR FEAR AND FIND THE HINT?

That hurt. Sorry about that.

I would never try this in my free time.

I don't get why anyone would pay their good money to do this.

Okay, let's roll.

-Step over here, please. -Wait.

Get going.

FORCED ONTO THE PLATFORM

-I think I need to take a dump. -Excuse me?

-Who says that to a stranger? -Right, I'm sorry.

-I apologize. -It's okay.

WE APOLOGIZE FOR THIS MISHAP

-It's slippery here. -Go for Lane three.

-Don't worry. -Do I hold it like this?

Good luck! You've got this, Woo-young!

THE VIEW WOULD CHOKE ANYONE UP

AND YET…

We could all crash at Woo-young's place.

TO AVOID HAVING 50 PEOPLE STAY WITH HIS FAMILY…

HE MUST SECURE THE HINT!

THE SAFETY GATE OPENS

-I'll hold your harness. -Will you push me?

Yes. Please crouch down and stretch out your legs.

TAKING HIS FEET OFF THE GROUND CAREFULLY

Stretch out your arms too.

Great. Here we go.

Here we go.

OFF HE GOES WITH A SHRIEK

I totally should've chosen trekking!

Why didn't I choose trekking?

The course goes on forever!

It's too long!

GOING DOWN FOREVER

Where is he?

How far does he have to go?

DESCENDING AT A RAPID PACE

LOOKING AROUND

Where is he?

MR. HINT FINALLY COMES INTO SIGHT

Oh, I see him now.

APPROACHING AT A HIGH SPEED

WOO-YOUNG'S POV

MR. HINT'S POV

WOO-YOUNG FLASHES BY HIM

Damn it.

How am I…

How am I supposed to catch that?

I hope he got a good look at the hint.

We need him to succeed.

HE'S ABOUT TO CRY

DID WOO-YOUNG SEE THE HINT?

CHOKED-UP WOO-YOUNG ARRIVES ON THE OTHER SIDE

Can you turn off the camera for a bit?

I think I soiled my pants.

I might have wetted myself.

Come on, Director. Cut me some slack. I'll treat you to a fancy meal.

I mean it.

Take pity on me this once.

ZOOMING IN INSTEAD

As for the hint over there…

I saw some people, Director.

I mean, there was a group photo.

Like I said, Mr. Hint has a hint for you.

AT 1X SPEED

AT 0.5X SPEED

AT 0.25X SPEED

HE HAD SOMETHING IN HIS HAND…

There's no way we'll find where we're supposed to go.

-We'll be sleeping on the streets. -What did you see?

I feel hesitant,

-but it seemed like a family portrait. -Yes?

Perhaps it featured a man-woman pair or a girl group.

It could've been a boy band as well.

FEELINGS ANTSY

You'll go next, won't you?

Wait, I won't have to if he got the hint.

-Oh, that's right. -Let's see if he got it or not.

Director, could we check that?

I'll get right on it.

DID WOO-YOUNG SECURE THE HINT?

SNIFF

If you had to guess, what do you think is the hint?

Idol.

-Is your answer "Idol"? -Yeah.

Woo-young, that is incorrect.

No one's going to get it.

For your information, the photo in Mr. Hint's sketchbook

featured your favorite colleagues,

-TWICE. -Oh, about that…

TWICE

THEY ARE HIS LABELMATES

Some of the girls wear their hair short…

COULD HIS RAMBLING BE AN AFTERMATH OF THE ZIP-LINING?

Additionally, the actual hint

was the number on Mr. Hint's helmet.

As a fan of TWICE, he wanted to give them a shoutout.

HINT IS UP HERE JUST WANTED TO SHOW MY LOVE FOR TWICE

This won't end well, I tell you.

Look, our Chucky will come down soon enough.

MENACING MS. CHUCKY WILL BE JOINING THEM

One of the crew…

They might not make it home tonight, okay?

The helmet--

Are you sure about this?

Did you not see his helmet?

As if anyone could've seen that.

If you were my peer, I would be hurling profanities.

I can't even…

How are you going to deal with her?

-There was a number on his helmet? -Yes.

The correct answer was there, without any tricks.

WHERE, EXACTLY?

Okay, here's what we'll do.

When the second zip-liner departs,

you can shout at them to look at the helmet.

Okay.

MEANWHILE, ON THE OTHER SIDE…

It's your turn, Jin-kyung.

-he didn't catch it? -No.

Did he miss the hint?

He said, "How could I have seen that?"

-Just a moment… -Jeez. Let's get you ready, Jin-kyung.

What's wrong with him? How could he have missed that?

Damn it.

"How could I have seen that?" What a joke.

This is so scary.

THE FEAR ENGULFS HER

You've got this, Jin-kyung.

HIGH ENOUGH TO CAUSE VERTIGO

Hold on. Just a second.

-She's ready. -Wait!

Don't let me go just yet. Unhook me.

Please unhook me for just a second.

-Wait, let's send Sae-ho first. -Do you mean it?

Yeah, for real. I can't do this now.

-Got it. -I'm so scared.

Okay, I'll go first, then.

Bring it on! This is going to be fun.

I tried zip-lining twice.

THE TWO-TIME VETERAN STEPS FORWARD BRAVELY

-Are you all set? -Yes.

THIS LADY IS NERVOUS IN HIS STEAD

DEPARTS WITH HIGH SPIRITS

WOOHOO

THE BLUE OCEAN EXPANDS BENEATH YOUR FEET

THE FRESH AIR SURROUNDS HIM

ENJOYING THE EXPERIENCE

MR. HINT COMES INTO VIEW

Sae-ho!

Look at his helmet!

A DESPERATE PLEA

MR. SHORTY PASSES BY LIKE A BULLET

Huh?

DID HIS EXPERIENCE AND WOO-YOUNG'S PLEA HELP HIM SPOT THE HINT?

Dang, look at his face.

He seemed so triumphant earlier.

MR. SHORTY ARRIVES WITH AN AWKWARD EXPRESSION

I do think I saw the hint.

What a fun ride.

Let's wait and hear his answer.

Let's check your answer first. What did you see?

First off,

-I saw a photo of an idol group. -I see.

-But that's about it. -So…

How would you sum up the hint in one word?

-In one word? -Yes.

-Wait, Sae-ho. Did you hear-- -The hint…

-It's "idol." -Darn it.

-Idol? -Yeah.

IDOL, ISN'T IT?

Remember how I shouted at you while you were on your way?

-I even yelled your name. -Yeah.

-Did you not hear me? -Huh?

-Shoot. -Now, Sae-ho.

Jin-kyung won't hear us either.

On the sketchbook was a group photo of TWICE.

-Mr. Hint happens to be their fan. -I see.

That's why he had their photo.

As for the hint about your destination, it was the number written on his helmet.

Is that right?

You guys are peers. Give him a piece of your mind.

Who cares if he's the director?

You lot are a pain.

-Why did you have him hold that up? -Wait.

Like I said, he's a fan of TWICE.

DISILLUSIONED

Don't just sigh. Chew him out.

-How? Why? -You can speak freely as a peer.

I'll do that when the cameras are off.

TURNING HIS BACK ON THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF THE BESTIE TRIP

Still, I had so much fun.

Let's be frank. This isn't as bad as bungee jumping.

-It's fun. -It's fun no doubt.

HERE IS DEJECTED CHUCKY

SOUNDS OF LAUGHTER

What's the matter?

It's nothing.

HER MAKEUP MADE HER LAUGH

What's so funny here? I don't see why you would laugh.

I really don't see it.

What's so funny about this situation? Nothing at all.

I can sort of see your future.

-Mine? -I think you'll be going down soon.

That is such an odd prophecy.

PLEASE DON'T SAY THAT, MS. INSTRUCTOR

THAT PUT HER MORE ON EDGE

Did he catch the hint?

I bet Sae-ho did.

-He didn't. -I hear he didn't.

Seriously?

Why did they all miss it?

They both have a working set of eyes, nose, and mouth.

ALL THEY NEED IS THEIR EYES… AT ANY RATE, DON'T VENT ON US

Seriously, their eyes work just fine. Why did they miss it?

WHILE CHUCKY IS THROWING A FIT…

Can we lose the gear?

-The harness? I don't think so. -Do we need to… Oh, I get it.

Would we need to try this again?

CHUCKLES

We have to keep zip-lining until we get it. I bet I'm right.

How is it funny to you?

By the way, is anyone monitoring how Mr. Hint is doing?

-Oh, by radio? -How are you holding up?

I'm doing fine, roger.

-This is going to be the death of me. -Please climb up one more step.

This is driving me insane.

JIN-KYUNG GETS ON THE PLATFORM

This is terrifying.

ANXIETY ATTACKS HER

SIGHING

This mission only ends when I go down this course, right?

Only when you get the hint, to be exact.

How come the guys failed to catch it?

What happened?

YOU WILL SOON LEARN WHY THEY FAILED

Please position your legs properly.

JAGGED BREATHING, A BUNDLE OF NERVES

CHUCKY IS READY FOR THE RIDE

Here we go.

SHE'S ON HER WAY

CHUCKY IN THE AIR

SQUINTS

SHE CAN BARELY KEEP HER EYES OPEN

Is that Jin-kyung?

CHUCKY APPROACHES AT HIGH SPEED

The helmet!

His helmet, Jin-kyung! Look up here!

DESPERATE PLEAS

ZIPS PAST MR. HINT

A PECULIAR EXPRESSION

She's having fun. I think she's enjoying it.

JIN-KYUNG ARRIVES SAFELY

Wasn't it fun?

-Did you enjoy it? -Yeah, it was okay.

I thought so.

By the way, you two.

-How did you miss the obvious clue? -What? I mean…

Let's hear your answer, then.

I don't get why you said you didn't catch it.

Just give Director Park your answer.

-Jin-kyung. -Yeah?

-Goodness, Jin-kyung. -Do you feel confident about your answer?

I saw women in school uniforms.

Five were sitting down in the photo.

DID YOU SAY 5?

How come you turned into Kim Jang-hoon?

What brought on this transformation?

The women were idol singers.

-Idols? -Yeah.

Is the answer "idol"?

Jin-kyung, that is incorrect.

-What a shame. -Jin-kyung.

Did you not hear us shouting?

-No. -Is that right?

Let's talk about the photo that you saw on the way.

Our Mr. Hint happens to be TWICE's fan.

That's why he had it.

-Try to rein it in. -As for your hint…

HEH-HEH

-it's on his… -Don't be mad.

It's on his helmet.

The hint was the number written on his helmet.

On his helmet?

Don't lose it.

-What is the matter with you? -Try to hold back.

-Look. -Huh?

We have a bigger issue here.

It's a whole lot bigger. It will blow your mind.

We have to zip-line again.

COLLAPSES

Normally, people get to remove all the harnesses, right?

I'm still wearing it, see?

We have to keep on trying until we manage to get the hint.

Hang on.

-This is insane. -What are the others doing?

"Add up all numbers…

in the five cast members' birthdays."

HE'S THINKING ABOUT YOU

I'm so screwed. Hold on.

Did you find all the clues here?

-Sook. -Yeah?

I'm lost on Woo-young and Sae-ho.

I can't remember Woo-young's birthday.

I remember Jin-kyung's birthday because of a past mission.

It's December 23rd.

Add up the dates of yours, hers, and mine, we get 87.

JIN-KYUNG: DECEMBER 23RD WOO-JAE: NOVEMBER 28TH

It's 87…

SOOK: JULY 6TH

Wait, we can ask Chang-hee.

-We can make calls. -Ask him about Sae-ho.

Okay, I'll do that.

CALLING NAM CHANG-HEE

Maybe he's on his radio show.

Who else would be close to Sae-ho?

THE 900+ WEDDING GUESTS FLIT THROUGH THEIR MINDS

In-seok.

AS IN THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNER AND THIS SHOW'S CREATOR?

THE TRIP'S ORGANIZER AND SAE-HO'S FRIEND

AND YES, HE'S THE SHOW'S DIRECTOR

Let's call him.

I'm calling him now.

They said we could call our friends.

AND HE IS INDEED THEIR FRIEND

UNFORTUNATELY, HE CAN'T ANSWER DUE TO THE ONGOING SHOOT FOR THE RIDERS

PARK IN-SEOK, UNREACHABLE

Is he not picking up?

MOVING ON TO THE NEXT FRIEND

Who are you calling?

Our show's head writer, Eun-yeong.

Answer the phone already.

THE SHOW'S HEAD WRITER AND SAE-HO'S FRIEND

ALSO, SHE'S HERE

You said we could call our friends. So go on.

-Hello? -Hey, Sook.

-I'm working now. I'm sorry. -Wait.

Let me ask just one thing.

Dang it.

HE THOUGHT OF A BACKUP FOR JUST THIS OCCASION

Hi, Woo-jae.

-Hey, Mr. Manager. -Yes, Woo-jae?

By any chance,

could you ask around for Sae-ho's birthday?

-I'll see what I can do. -That was brilliant.

Open the calculator app.

Shouldn't we see your managers as your fellow castmates?

-How so? -Don't be ridiculous.

You are joined at the hip.

-But we're different people. -Sure.

Don't be preposterous.

-Surely we are not the same person. -You bet.

We had 87 so far.

When is Sae-ho's birthday?

It's August 9th.

-Sae-ho's birthday is August 9th. -Add 8 and 9…

How about Woo-young?

Woo-young's birthday is April 30th.

Got it. Thank you.

-No problem. -It's 138.

UNLOCKED

THE MISSION TURNS INTO A TEST OF THEIR WITS AND NOT FRIENDSHIP

This must give us a proper hint.

-"Deung." -"Deung"?

-What about "Deungdae" as in lighthouse? -Lighthouse?

HURRYING OVER TO THE ROOFTOP FOR MORE CLUES

Goodness.

There are two of them.

"King Sejong's birthday

multiplied by the number of BTS members."

King Sejong…

BUT THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE BIRTHDAY OF THEIR FRIEND, SAE-HO!

I know that there are seven guys in BTS.

I should multiply the date by seven, then.

READS THE OTHER MISSION CARD

"Input the exact time now."

LET ME THINK…

I bet it will be something like, "In my hour of need."

It is, isn't it? I'm sure it's another trick question.

Does everyone know King Sejong's birthday?

-You'll get it when you hear it. -I'll get it when I hear it?

-Woo-jae! -Yeah?

HE'S WORKING ON ANOTHER QUIZ IN THE 3RD FLOOR ATTIC

Do you know King Sejong's birthday?

FIGURE OUT THE RULE AND COMPLETE THE SEQUENCE

I need King Sejong's birthday.

I found two missions up here.

King Sejong?

Yeah, get up and try this.

King Sejong? I somehow get the feeling he was born on a spring day.

FIGURE OUT THE RULE AND COMPLETE THE SEQUENCE

I've got it! I have the answer!

Did you really?

YOU MEAN KING SEJONG'S BIRTHDAY?

NOPE, I MEANT THE QUIZ DOWN HERE

8 times 1 is 8. 8 times 2 is 16.

8 times 3 is 24. The first blank is 3.

IS HE RECITING THE TIMES TABLE?

Look. They masked the rule by breaking the numbers into different units.

Did you get it?

Did you get it?

GOODNESS, I APPLAUD YOU FOR TRYING

What, did we get a dud again?

It was especially tricky, you know.

Let's solve this one.

So, do you know King Sejong's birthday?

King Sejong's birthday…

Do you know when it is?

NOT REALLY…

So, is this common knowledge?

Do you know it too, Director?

-Director. -Is it Hangeul Day?

That is a very smart approach.

So that counts as a smart approach?

We all celebrate this day.

It must be Valentine's Day, then.

Yeah, let's continue in that vein.

Could it be Children's Day?

Is it Parents' Day?

I doubt it's Independence Movement Day. Hold on.

This is driving me nuts.

We all celebrate this day?

Everyone celebrates his birthday?

I doubt King Sejong knows my birthday.

She said it was common knowledge.

NEW YEAR'S DAY… INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT DAY…

CHILDREN'S DAY, PARENTS' DAY, TEACHERS' DAY…

-I bet it's Teachers' Day. -Hey, I got it.

It's April Fools' Day.

No, it's Teachers' Day.

I think it's April Fools' Day.

IGNORES HER

It's 140.

You can work that with mental math?

-What was the answer? -May 15th.

HIS BIRTHDAY BECAME TEACHERS' DAY

TO CELEBRATE HIS LOVE FOR THE PEOPLE WHICH LED TO HANGEUL'S INVENTION

We've got "Seo."

-"Seo…" -"Seo"?

Yeah.

Haeundae-gu… Seo…

Can it be Seomyeon?

Seomyeon isn't in Haeundae-gu.

-Really? -Yeah.

We have one more here. "Input the exact time now."

-Man, I wonder what this is about. -The time quiz.

-That's our last one. -"The exact time."

BUT THE TIME IS TICKING EVEN NOW

There must be a clue.

Look around and find a clock, Sook.

Let's see if there's one nearby.

WE SHOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT TOO!

Hey, I think you're a genius.

There must be a clock that stopped working.

You sneaky rascals.

I'll check downstairs.

Okay, I'll go check upstairs.

But there are no clocks here.

Where's the clock?

Here it is.

A GRANDFATHER CLOCK SPOTTED

It's 2:35.

THE TIME "2: 35" MEANS THAT THE CODE IS "235"

He must've found it. Watch your step, Director.

He's a bright guy.

DID HE FIND A HINT?

IS IT ANOTHER DUD?

IT IS

SCREWBALLS EVERY SUNDAY AT 5 P.M.

Where are you?

Is he another floor below?

You don't have to come, Sook.

Where are you, Woo-jae?

I'm so ticked off.

Did you find the clock?

It was another dud, Sook.

Damn it.

"Screwballs, every Sunday at 5 p.m."

WHY ARE THEY SO MAD ABOUT THAT?

-There must be another safe here. -Another safe?

Yeah, one more safe.

COULD IT BE IN HERE?

Found it.

Goodness. You rock, Woo-jae.

HE MAY BE UNLUCKY, BUT HE HAS SKILLS

JATANPUNG, PLAVE, NMIXX, DAY6…

GUESS HOW MANY MEMBERS ARE IN EACH GROUP AND CALCULATE THE FORMULA

BUZZ * (JATANPUNG + PLAVE + NMIXX + DAY6 + BMK + JANG DEOK CHEOL + BSS + TRIPLE S)

-Member count… -I've got it.

Sure, it's your area of expertise.

I know this much.

Jatanpung…

WE'LL BE DONE IN A FLASH

How many members does the band have?

Three. At least I think it does.

-Do they have two members or three? -Isn't it two?

What about DAY6?

-Four members. -Four. Got it.

-BMK is a solo artist. -One.

Jang Deok Cheol has three guys.

-BSS has three guys. -BSS… Three.

-NMIXX has six members. -Six, okay.

-But PLAVE… -About PLAVE…

They have five guys.

-Okay. -I'm right, aren't I?

PLAVE: A 5-MEMBER VIRTUAL BOY BAND THAT DEBUTED IN MARCH 2023

They have 23 members in tripleS.

IS HE RIGHT, THOUGH?

Does Buzz have four members of five?

No, wait. They have Min Kyung-hoon…

-I think there are three of them. -They either have three or four guys.

Four, then.

Let's try this anyway.

-Hit me. -It's 192.

No dice.

-Sook, in the end… -Did we fall into a trap again?

Are you sure Jatanpung has three guys? Let's run the numbers again with two.

The ones giving me confusion are tripleS and Buzz.

Perhaps Buzz has just two members.

You think they only have two guys? Gosh.

There are 23 members in tripleS, aren't there?

Did I get it wrong?

THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THEM FOR HIM TO BE SURE

IF WOO-JAE IS UNSURE…

THEN, IT'S SHOWTIME

I can rely on my assets, right? I've got a good hearing.

STICKS HER EAR TO THE BOX

SHE DEMONSTRATED HER SKILLS EARLIER

HERE COMES MS. KIM SOOK, GUESSWORK SPECIALIST

We might end up sleeping on the streets.

I can picture that.

BE AN UPSTANDING GUY, WOO-JAE

I'LL HANDLE THE DIRTY WORK

THE 50 YEARS OF HARDSHIP TAUGHT HER A LOT…

I tried all numbers in the 90s range.

USING EVERY FIBER OF HER BEING, SHE WILL CRACK THE SAFE OPEN!

Our facial muscles will act up out on the cold streets.

IS THIS THEIR FIRST BITTER FAILURE?

-What's that? Goodness. -How did you do it?

JUST WHEN SHE WAS LOSING HOPE…

THE SAFE HOLDING THE HINT OPENED UP LIKE A PRESENT

Gosh, that's amazing.

-The code was 245. -Was it?

I've got your back, okay?

-You can count on me. -I've got the QR code.

Tell us the correct answer.

THE RESULT OF THE EQUATION IS 245

You were like Jun Ji-hyun from The Thieves.

Like I said, you can always count on me. My ears are still sharp.

That's incredible.

AGAIN, THESE TWO MAKE AN INVINCIBLE PAIR

Hold on.

I think… Wait.

RO

"Ro"?

I think it's Deungdae-ro.

You think so? I could be Seogu-ro.

THEY FOUND ALL 5 HINTS FROM THE SAFES: RO, SEO, GU, DAE, DEUNG

THIS IS THE ONLY ROOM THAT OFFERED NO MISSIONS

What is this? Look!

A SET OF STRANGE QUOTES IS WRITTEN ON THE BOARD

This must be another hint.

ALL I DID TO AVOID THE BREAKUP WAS BUT A CHILDISH TANTRUM

OUR LUCKY, HAPPY TIME PASSED ME BY LIKE A BULLET…

We missed this tiny logo.

-"Let's go to Heundae." -Is that the title of the song?

Read the first letters together,

and they sound like "Let's go to Heundae."

-"Go to Gangalli." -"Go to Gangalli."

I think that's it.

"Let's go to Heundae. Go to Gangalli."

Guys, what do you mean by "Let's go to Heundae. Go to Gangalli"?

THERE ARE NO PLACES WITH THOSE NAMES

What do they mean?

But that's all we can see here.

IS THAT A DRY ERASER?

Oh!

Why did you put this here?

Maybe a few letters will remain after I wipe the board.

I'll go ahead and wipe it clean.

Yes, some letters still remain.

That left the letter "byeol" behind.

ALL THE REMAINING LETTERS SAY "BYEOL"

I've got the answer!

DEUNG, DAE, GU, SEO, RO, BYEOL?

I found them all.

-Please rearrange them to make sense. -Oh…

-Do we have to do that as well? -Of course.

Would that give us our next destination?

You'll have to work with your castmates to form a complete address.

-I see. -I get it now.

Hey, Woo-young.

Hey, Woo-jae.

How many hints did you get?

Oh, we've got nothing.

-What? -You've got nothing?

I might as well come clean. We have to ride a zip-line, you see.

You guys have to ride a zip-line? Told you.

LOL

Are you saying you haven't tried it yet?

-No, we all took a turn. -And?

-We have to do it again. -We didn't get our hint,

so we have to keep at it until we do.

Hey. We're almost done here, so we'll get there as soon as we can.

What's your task? Do you just walk around?

How should I say this?

We solved about 20 quizzes.

-Okay. -Did you call us to brag about that?

What are you saying, lady? We are supposed to work together!

She's had a rough afternoon. It's a long story.

-We have a situation with the crew. -They screwed us big time.

We are discussing reporting them.

They're making us zip-line until we tackle our mission. How ridiculous is that?

LOL

We might end up spending the night on the zip-line course, okay?

I get that this is a joint project…

-In that case-- -Hey, Woo-young.

Is Jin-kyung super upset?

She's beyond upset.

She transformed into Kim Jang-hoon out of the blue.

THAT CRACKED THEM UP

She did a flying kick

and almost sent Director Park hurtling through the air.

We barely calmed her down, persuading her to give the show a year.

-First things first, Woo-young. -Yeah?

Keep on zip-lining without a break and find the solution.

Even if we were to zip-line non-stop, it takes time to return to…

Whatever. Let's talk later.

-Okay. -See you.

Do we have to get up there?

We'll put the hint on the sketchbook this time.

We'll have it set up properly.

-Let's go. -Shall we, then?

-It won't take long on the bus. -Let's hurry.

Let's get that hint.

-Let's finish this in this round. -All right.

-We can't do this twice more. -Of course not.

Hello.

REVISITING THE LAUNCHING AREA

We've met, haven't we?

I suppose so?

REUNION WITH THE OPERATOR

-Let's do this without a break. -Get the answer, Sae-ho.

Do we have an all-day outdoor shoot tomorrow?

-Tomorrow? -Yes.

We'll have breakfast at the hotel in the morning…

AT THE HOTEL?

WE'RE HAVING BREAKFAST AT THE HOTEL?

-Hey, I just had a breakthrough. -Like what?

They booked us hotel rooms.

Oh, I see.

-What about it? -Our next stop is a hotel.

That's a huge lead.

-But… -We can find out which one it is

using the number.

No, Jin-kyung. Let's not put Jong-ho in trouble.

-I merely tried to feel him out. -Wait.

A single question, and he fell for it.

ON EDGE

Look, he's all flustered.

He's panicking, all right.

Hot damn.

I've secured a huge lead. A gigantic one.

WHAT WILL THIS LEAD TO?

I'm ready to roll!

Here we go.

TRYING THE ZIP-LINE AGAIN WITHOUT A FUSS

Please get the answer, Sae-ho!

OTHERWISE, I'LL HAVE TO ZIP-LINE AGAIN…

THAT'S WHEN HE LETS GO OF ONE HAND

AND STARTS TO WRIGGLE ABOUT

AS HE IS WELL-HARNESSED, HE IS PERFECTLY SAFE

He turned around. Sae-ho's adjusting his angle.

RAPIDLY APPROACHING MR. HINT

TURNS HIS FACE TOWARD MR. HINT AS BEST AS HE CAN

TRANSFIXED

MUMBLING

HE KEEPS REPEATING SOMETHING…

DID HE CATCH THE HINT THIS TIME?

SAE-HO ARRIVES

That's downright nasty.

Have you no sense of decency?

Oops, sorry. I'm rather short.

Seriously, you went too far.

You're all so shameless.

WHAT'S THE ISSUE THIS TIME?

How could you

-put a math question there? -Technically,

it isn't a math question.

What do you mean?

It had 237 something.

-It's a simple calculation. -Yeah, that.

The distinction doesn't matter.

I think I saw 23, plus symbol, 7, division symbol, 8, minus symbol, and 9.

But the thing is,

you can't get an integer from that equation.

-Here's a suggestion. -What is it?

-I'll let you call Jin-kyung. -For real?

-Sure. -Okay, I'll tell her what to look out for.

Answer it.

-Hey, Sae-ho. -Woo-young.

-Yeah? -These guys are messing with us again.

How?

Mr. Hint is holding up a sketchbook,

and you'll see an equation there.

-Jeez. -Expect to see

all the symbols like plus, minus, multiplication, and division.

I want you to be ready for it.

-Focus on the front half, Jin-kyung. -I'll do that.

-I'll take care of the rest. -Good call.

Don't forget to tie up Director Park.

-Okay. -All right, then.

We're all going down tonight.

Let's end it this time.

-I'll look at the front half. -Okay.

THEY'RE OFF FULLY PREPPED

I can't take these off yet, can I?

It's best to be prepared for all eventualities.

You're unbelievable.

CHUCKY IS ON THE LAUNCHING PLATFORM AGAIN

-You've got this, Jin-kyung! -You bet!

Let's do this!

Go get them, Jin-kyung!

PEEKING

WHEREABOUTS WAS MR. HINT AGAIN?

SHE IS APPROACHING MR. HINT ALREADY

AGAIN, HE WHIZZES BY HER

Twenty-three plus seven.

YOU THINK THAT'S ALL THERE IS?

I get the feeling she's seen it properly.

Sure, she's the Real Study King.

EXCHANGING SIGNS FROM DISTANCE

Oh, okay.

Did you catch the entire equation?

-I'm to see the first half. -I see.

-I did my part. -Tell me.

-It had 23, plus, and 7. -Right?

So I was right about 23 plus 7.

I did my part per our arrangement.

It had 23, a plus symbol, 7, and a division symbol.

FULL OF CONVICTION

Feel free to make another call.

What? I'm getting a call.

Yo, brother.

-Hey, brother. Listen closely. -Okay.

-I'll tell you what Jin-kyung saw. -I'm listening.

-It's 23, plus, and 7. -Okay.

Then, the answer's 30.

-A division symbol follows them. -Yeah?

What you have to catch is what follows after that.

Okay. Consider this mission finished!

From the symbol, okay?

-Okay! -Okay, then.

I'll catch you later.

Sure. See you later, alligator.

-Take care. -I'll hang up now.

All right, then.

-Bye, bro. -All right.

-I'll catch you later. -Sure, hang tight.

Of course. I hope you've eaten.

-Let's hang up now. -Okay.

-Make sure to clean yourself. -Come on, dude!

THIS SKIT WON'T END

WAS IT ENTERTAINING?

He told Woo-young to wash himself.

I can't believe what I just heard.

HANGING UP

What did he say, though? Seven something?

Hold on. What did he want me to do?

I forgot all that from trying to keep up with the banter.

THE INTENSE ROLE-PLAYING MADE HIM FORGET THE HINT

I remember there being 23, plus, and 7.

Oh, and a division symbol comes after them, right?

-By the way, I secured a huge lead. -Tell me.

I know that we'll be staying at a hotel.

What made you think so?

-I asked our AD a trick question. -I see.

I asked him if we'd be having an all-day outdoor shoot tomorrow.

He then answered, "No, we'll be having breakfast at the hotel."

But finding the hotel won't be so easy.

We now have the upper hand.

If we look up the combination of "hotel" and the number from the hint,

the internet will give us a hotel with that street number.

TRIUMPHANT

-I rattled you, didn't I? -Oh, no.

-You're bewildered. -Not at all.

-Who do you mean by-- -He panicked badly back there.

ALMOST PASSING OUT

His neck turned bright red.

-Still-- -You know what?

-He made a typo in our group chat. -He was panic-stricken, that's why.

Jong-ho may be struggling right now. We should try to help him out.

We really should look out for him.

SAVE OUR POOR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR

HERE IS ANOTHER PERSON WHO NEEDS HELP

WOO-YOUNG TAKES OFF FOR THE SECOND TIME

Let's do this. Come on.

Oh, please… Allow me to clear this mission this time.

I can do this!

I know I've got this.

MR. HINT, WOO-YOUNG

GETS A GLIMPSE

HE GRITTED HIS TEETH!

DID WOO-YOUNG CATCH THE LATTER PART OF THE EQUATION?

Did you see it?

Yeah, we're all set.

-Okay. -Okay!

It's finally over.

Bring up the navigation app.

We should be using a web browser instead.

SMUG

-Hey, what follows 23, plus, and 7? -Good work, guys.

-So, after 23, plus, and 7… -Tell us.

-…come a division symbol and six. -Is that right?

-The result is five, right? -Yeah?

-Oh, no. -What's the matter?

It had a minus symbol and nine too.

-Oh, right. -There you go.

-The street number must be 5-9. -That must be it.

Hold on.

Let's write everything down.

It starts with 23, plus, and 7,

-followed by a division symbol and six? -Yeah.

-Then, a minus symbol and 9? -A minus symbol and 9.

The division has a higher precedence,

but if we applied it here,

the number gets messy.

IT LEAVES A REMAINDER

Are you sure about the seven?

Are you sure about the first part, Jin-kyung?

-Yeah, I saw them. -Are you sure?

I have no doubts.

What's up? Why did you ask that, Woo-young?

I missed the first half, you see.

-From focusing on the other part? -Yeah.

Could this part be wrong?

What did you see, Sae-ho?

I told you what I saw on my arrival. I saw 23, plus, 7,

followed by a division symbol and eight.

And?

Guys, I think it's 8 instead of 6. Let's roll with that.

-I saw an eight initially. -Run the numbers with that.

Why did you see it as six, then?

-That's how it looked to me. -Jeez.

Seriously, what is his problem?

-See if it works with an eight. -Let's try it.

CALCULATING 23+7÷8-9

That's 119 over 8.

Yeah, 119 over 8.

THE RESULT IS STILL NOT AN INTEGER

Oh, dear…

Eight doesn't belong there.

-Get your ass back up there. -I'll take another turn.

I meant Woo-young.

-He's the one who missed it. -No, I didn't!

SQUABBLING UNTIL THE END

Tell us. Did we misread the numbers?

-Just a little bit. -Damn it.

I'll go up there and make it quick.

-You, Sae-ho? -Yeah.

Off you go.

Okay. Come with me, Woo-young.

I need backup in case I get it wrong.

-All right. Let's go. -Woo-young and I'll go.

See you, Jin-kyung.

Good luck.

Who zip-lines the same course three times?

Thanks for the ride.

What a shame.

I'll go first and get things settled.

No, I'll tidy up things first.

EXCHANGING SILLY JOKES

-…nice and neat. -Hey, isn't that our team's ride?

You're right.

HI, GUYS

SPEEDING BY

It's Sae-ho.

Where are they returning from?

CAN'T YOU GUESS?

They must be heading up for another try.

My goodness. We're the true winners of this trip.

THEY'RE VISITING THE LAUNCHING AREA FOR THE THIRD TIME NOW

Do you see how her expression is changing?

She looks very tired now.

Welcome back.

Has anyone else zip-lined three times a day?

-We operators do that. -Oh, right.

I guess we've reached your level.

Which part do I check?

Are you sure about there being "6-9" by the end?

-It seemed that way. -Oh yeah?

But I'm not sure. I can't be held responsible.

-Don't chew me out, okay? -I can't believe what he's saying.

You're the reason why I feel the need to check the whole equation.

Don't try to pin the blame on others.

Just do your part right.

-Dang it. -Focus on pulling your weight.

-Come on, when have I ever not? -Enough of this blame game.

Are they zip-lining now or what? What's going on?

-How much progress have you made so far? -Did you finish your task?

Tell us your progress, Jin-kyung.

-As we come down the course… -Hello.

-Yeah? -Can you see the man hanging there?

We need to see the hint written on his sketchbook.

-Is that single task it? -Yeah.

And you're still working on it?

-Yeah. -What?

SELF-CONSCIOUS

Oh, come on, guys.

-We brought six hints. -Don't act so surprised.

-Hold up. So there's just one task? -Yeah.

Will we get one letter from solving this equation?

Yeah.

-I've secured a huge lead, though. -We have six letters.

-I have something major. -What is it?

The crew booked us a hotel.

Here's the thing. There are about 300 hotels in Busan.

A SHARP RETORT FROM A NATIVE BUSANIAN

It's getting cold now.

This better be our last round.

I feel at home being strung up here.

-Don't forget to call me. -Okay.

HERE HE GOES ON HIS 3RD ATTEMPT

HERE'S TO HOPING THIS IS THE LAST RIDE

I'm going to get it right!

Let's do this!

DESPERATE

STARTS MUMBLING

AS SOON AS HE HAS PASSED MR. HINT BY

TURNS AROUND TO SEE UNTIL THE END

Here he comes. Give us the numbers.

-Did you see the numbers? -Tell us.

Did you?

Did you not see them?

That punk must've missed them.

-Dang it. -Did you see them or not?

That's not it.

GIGGLING

-We need those numbers, Sae-ho. -What is up with him?

I mean…

What's wrong?

TEARS

-Don't tell me you missed the hint. -No, not exactly.

I had my eyes wide open to see it clearly,

but then the wind blasted into my eyes.

That made me tear up.

That made me tear up.

-So you missed the hint? -The sketchbook was pixelized,

all because of those tears.

-Still, I saw the hint. -How does it go?

-Twenty-three. -Yeah?

COME ON, SAE-HO…

I also saw an eight somewhere.

-Hey! -Come on!

-What is the matter with you? -Wait, I just don't get it.

-What have they been doing? -What have they accomplished?

These guys had a rough day.

-Dude! -I mean--

Don't snap at me. I zip-lined my way three times already.

I didn't mean to snap. I only meant to ask…

-We got the 23 plus 7 part right. -What's that?

These are the hints we found.

We secured six one-syllable letters, including deung, dae, gu, seo, ro, byeol.

We need the hint that you three have been working on

-to get the full address. -Okay.

If you ask me, the number here…

-It's likely a street number. -The "ro" must mean street here.

-It must go after the street name, then. -Yeah, and the number would go with it.

We need to assemble the remaining five here.

I think the district name is Seo-gu.

-Seo-gu… -There's a district with that name here.

-Dongseong-ro. -What?

Could it be Byeoldeungdae-ro or Deungdaerobyeol?

No, it's probably the former.

-Look up if there is Byeoldeungdae-ro. -Byeoldeungdae-ro?

-Excuse me. -Can't we use the internet?

You can call your friends,

-but the internet-- -Why didn't you answer my call?

-Why didn't you pick up? -I was working here.

-You should've answered our call. -Why didn't you, Director?

Like I said, I was working here.

-If only I hadn't teared up… -Sook.

-Let's call our Busanian friends… -I'm sure about Seo-gu.

How's it going, Woo-young?

Enough of that. How did it go?

Anyhow, it's me, your bro.

-I'll tell you how it went this time. -So?

I teared up from forcing my eyes wide open and didn't get to see clearly.

…and didn't get to see clearly.

HANGS UP

Even a dog wouldn't buy that crap.

I'm so sick of this.

-It's driving me insane. -Same here!

Don't you have Busanian friends?

-Woo-young. -Wait, I need to tell him something.

So, Woo-young,

I think the latter part is 6 minus 9.

And that's what I told you earlier.

-Check out the initial part. -Heck no!

Wait, Woo-young.

-Six minus nine? -Is there a street called Byeoldeungdae-ro

in Seo-gu? "Byeol" as in star, and "deungdae" as in lighthouse?

Well…

You'll have to ask the stars.

-Let me check that. -I hung up on him.

Okay. Give me a second.

SHOULD I DITCH THIS SUPPOSED BESTIES TRIP?

I'm fed up.

Let's make this count so we can call it a day.

I sure hope so.

LAUGHS ABASHED

Please!

-Mr. Hint deserves a raise. -Let's focus.

WHETHER EVERYONE CAN CLOCK OUT

AS WELL AS MR. HINT'S WELL-BEING HINGES ON WOO-YOUNG!

-Please… -Eyes to the front.

Please… We've had enough.

-Here we go. -Please let us call it a day!

I want to go home!

LEAVING WORK IS A CHALLENGE TODAY

Look, here comes Woo-young.

Please let him see the numbers.

PLEASE SEE THEM…

TURNING ON THE EAGLE EYE MODE

All right, let's all go home!

I'm going to see those numbers.

MR. HINT, WOO-YOUNG

DID HE MANAGE TO SEE THEM?

-Oh, please… -It's a lot faster than you'd think.

WHY IS HE GRITTING HIS TEETH AND SHUTTING HIS EYES?

Did you see them?

A CRYPTIC EXPRESSION

He must've missed them. Did you get them?

-Write down what you memorized. -His eyes are bloodshot.

Go on. Take the pen.

-There is an eight in the middle. -See? I told you.

-Whereabouts is it? -There was seven.

I think eight came after the division symbol.

Why do you sound so unsure? Did you not see properly?

That's rich. You didn't take another turn!

-I mean… -Don't be a pill.

-You aren't sure. -Twenty-three plus seven.

-I can't take this anymore. -Do we get 86, then?

-I saw an eight here. -I saw it too.

-Right? -Yeah.

-Eight goes somewhere in the middle. -He's right.

I've got it!

This must be it. I've got it.

What follows 23 and the plus symbol must be 78.

Add a division symbol, 6, a minus symbol, and 9…

If 78 follows 23 after the plus symbol,

-we can get 13 from the division. -So it was 78 all along.

WE GOT AN INTEGER!

Add 13 to 23 and subtract 9…

-Then, we get 27. -The answer is 27.

The answer is 27!

What followed 23 was 78!

Our task was to divide 78 by 6, add 23, and subtract 9.

Tell us it's right!

EXPLODES IN EXASPERATION

Hurry!

THEY NO LONGER HAVE THE TIME OR THE ENERGY TO ZIP-LINE AGAIN

IS 27 THE ANSWER?

Sae-ho, that is correct.

PURE JOY

Let's turn.

THE JOINT MISSION ENDS IN SUCCESS

So what followed 23 after the plus symbol was 78!

-Gosh, Sae-ho. This thing here… -It was epic.

-Byeoldeungdae-ro, Seo-gu, Busan. -Seo-gu.

Okay, we got 27. So our hotel is somewhere in Seo-gu, Busan.

THEY ARE STILL UNCERTAIN ABOUT THE STREET NAME

HOW DO YOU MAKE A PROPER ONE WITH DEUNG, DAE, BYEOL, AND RO?

Deungdae-ro! The address must be 27 Deungdae-ro!

-I'm sure of it. -What about "byeol"?

-You said we're booked at a hotel. -Its stars.

A five-star hotel?

Let me count. One. Two…

Three. Four.

-Five. -It's a five-star hotel, then.

So we're staying at a five-star hotel in 27 Deungdae-ro.

Is our destination a five-star hotel at 27 Deungdae-ro, Seo-gu, Busan?

COME ON…

PLEASE TELL US WE'RE RIGHT

-That is correct. -Yes!

That's where we're staying?

A 5-STAR HOTEL FOR US?

Let's give him a big hand.

Thank you for your trouble.

-Thank you. -You were amazing.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK MR. KANG WON-IL FOR HIS HELP

Let's take a photo.

-Great work, everyone. -Thank you.

WE HAD A GREAT TIME THANKS TO YOU

Our Besties Trip hasn't ended yet.

Oh, that's our theme today.

Besties Trip… That sounds so random, doesn't it?

-It sounds so forced. -You have the address, right?

If the accommodation you found is indeed the one we prepared,

you will find a reservation under Sook's name.

-You didn't have to, Sook. -My gosh.

I guess it feels nice.

We'll we get great food too?

Of course.

I hope we get a proper dinner.

-Look forward to one. -Is the hotel somewhere we might know?

LOOK, GUYS

-Let's go and see. -It seems to be in the Songdo area.

-Oh, my. -Goodness.

If you ask me…

Isn't it a brand-new place?

ARE THEY STAYING IN A HIP SPOT?

I bet the hotel has been in business for less than a year.

When you get there, approach the owner discreetly

and ask if there's a reservation under Sook's name.

-That made me anxious. -Let's go.

-It's all over. -Let's move.

-We're finally set. Good work! -Thank you, everyone!

-Let's gather at Songdo Beach later. -Thank you.

BESTIES TRIP IN BUSAN TO BE CONTINUED…

ONE HOUR LATER

Min-su's chocolate sticks!

Min-su then felt conflicted about something.

Min-su dropped by a fried chicken place too.

Perhaps to gain information on the chocolate sticks?

But there was only info on Marine Crackers.

HERE SHE GOES ABOUT CHICKEN AGAIN

Min-su stopped midway to think things over.

THEIR FRIENDSHIP IS TESTED AGAIN
