what they are saying.

Just make them seem

moving a little.

Then we can say they crashed there

and I'll use a different angle shot.

One, two, three!

This way, this way!

A little bit more!

Ultimately, filming wraps after

stuntmen pull the car by cable.

Unable to get the shot he wanted

Gui-duck consoles himself

with a cigarette.

He has to be satisfied with just

the stunt director credit.

However, he didn't even get that.

So...

I corrected his name for him.

Wow! Very good!

After getting his profile out,

Moon-cheol got a call from

a cable broadcasting company.

Ah, right there!

How far does it go in the front?

This show had panelists try

and guess the jobs of the guests.

Moon-cheol was on the show as

the stunt double of Jeong-lin Jo.

A photo to commemorate the day.

Suddenly,

we're reminded of Sye-jin

who didn't get called

for "Truth Game".

Sye-jin is headed back to Jeju

after 6 months of cruel Seoul life.

I'm going back

with an elaborate plan.

I think owning his business

is the best answer for Sye-jin.

I'm going to open my business

and sweep Jeju with it.

Some will buy

his stuff out of pity.

He definitely needs to use that.

He needs to use

how pathetic he seems.

My goal in life was

to just work till I was 35.

He says he'll be back in 6 months

driving a Mercedes Benz.

What do you think of that?

- Maybe sleeping on a park bench...

- A park bench maybe, not a Benz.

He'll probably drag a bench here

and use it to sleep outside.

Touring the entire country...

Remember I told you?

Riding and bringing horses.

To people who've never seen horses.

So they can ride them.

I'd take pictures for them.

Feeding horses.

Cleaning up horse dung.

Feeding horses at a racetrack

and putting his life on 'reset'...

I'm not coming back

to Seoul if I can.

I've got to settle down now.

If I can...

I'm 30 now.

It's time to wake up.

Sye-jin, who said

he'd make it in one leap

is leaving Seoul with only

a tattoo on his poor back.

Four years ago,

he did 6 months of stunt school.

Four years later,

his time in Seoul is also 6 months.

He has personally experienced

that people don't really change.

ID?

Damn it. Where is it?

Damn...

You don't have ID?

- Man...

- Did you bring it?

I know I did!

He couldn't find his driver's

license so he left the next day.

Sung-il's Room

Strangely enough,

after Sye-jin returned to Jeju

Sung-il, Jin-seock, and Gui-duck

found no work for a while.

Some weeks pass by.

The first set in so many weeks.

An actor greatly immersed

in the role!

And this was the result.

When it slammed against my head,

I thought, 'Damn, I'm screwed.'

Not cause it hurt

but we had to shoot.

Why did everyone gather around?

It really put me in an awkward spot.

Still it was lucky I was

the one hurt and not the actor.

When an actor gets hurt,

the shoot gets delayed more.

They might have to go to the hospital

and sometimes we have to wrap.

That's a disaster.

That's when you're screwed.

Still it's an injury to the head.

Isn't that dangerous?

Not really.

Just need to wipe off the blood.

Wipe it off and

I can go right away.

Compared to before,

I almost died before.

That time, I could've stopped in

on God for a visit.

I fell once while doing

forward-rappelling.

I was doing that

from 3 stories up.

I let go of the safety rope

by mistake

and so it became a free fall.

Slam! Slam! Slam!

I was like this for 6 months.

It was like a sitcom.

My mom had to feed me.

I saw the light after that.

Compared to that,

today is nothing.

When he got hurt,

he didn't tell me right away.

I went to the hospital and

he was in a cast and lying like this.

Seeing him like that,

I couldn't say a single word.

Unlike other professions, we get

a lot of visitors in the hospital.

Because we've all been there.

It was nice for everyone to visit.

But the problem was

some were limping

and others had stitches here.

My mom was worried enough

about me as is.

But then she saw all my visitors

were also injured.

She was like, 'Oh dear... '

She didn't have time

to care for her own son...

I'd be lying there and

someone would come...

I'd be like,

"Dude, did you get hurt too?"

Mom would always say

she couldn't bear to watch me box.

But I think that's a lie.

When she saw me

fight and die by sword

in the TV series

immortal General Lee,

she was like,

"Look! You're dying there!"

My mom, dad, and brother would

clap and yell, "You're dying!"

I asked her, "How can you be so happy

and clap while your son is dying?"

- I guess she thought it was cool.

- Why were you so happy about that?

Because just the fact

he was on TV...

Jin-seock's niece

also watches him...

She always cries

"Uncle, don't die..."

Uncle, don't die...

Don't die...

Uncle mustn't die, right?

No...

Daddy, is Uncle going to die?

No, of course not.

It's just a movie.

- Huh?

- He's not dying.

He's not dying so don't worry.

Jin-seock's Niece, Jin-seock's Cousin

When we watch a movie or TV,

usually we can't find him.

It goes by too quick.

Amazingly, So-yeon can find him.

And she always cries when he dies.

So-yeon, do you have anything

you want to say to your uncle?

Say it to the camera...

To your uncle.

Uncle, don't get hurt. Don't die.

I love you!

You don't always get hurt

from doing dangerous stuff.

You can get hurt anywhere.

You can get hurt walking

down a street. Or hiking.

I don't worry too much

about him getting hurt.

If he enjoys doing what he does,

I say do it as long as you're happy.

That's fine with me.

Have you seen any of

Jin-seock's films at the theater?

I have seen "The City of Violence".

The Set of the Film

"The City of Violence"

It went by so fast.

At first,

it was hard to find him

when he didn't tell us

where to look.

I couldn't find him.

"The City of Violence"

was a real tough one.

For Jin-seock too...

It was autumn, I think.

But it was

particularly cold that day.

We had to go in and out of the

frigid creek over and over again.

Jin-seock KWAK

Shooting was extremely tough.

All the stuntmen

involved in the film

gave it their all without

holding anything back.

Stunt director Doo-hong Jung

didn't hold back despite the danger.

Neither did stunt director

Chan-hyung Jeon.

It is true that many stuntmen

got hurt while shooting that film.

Even director Jung got hurt.

That's why for me,

that film is unforgettable.

Action!

Gui-duck KWON

Sung-il SHIN

All the members of the stunt school

worked on "The City of Violence".

Jin-Seock KWAK

And it was the first film

the school co-produced.

Maybe for that reason, the stuntmen

threw themselves into this film

with a greater sense of duty.

Even director Jung charged on

shooting through injury

with an ice pack to his face.

Gui-duck was the stunt double

for director Seung-wan Ryu.

He also choreographed

some action sequences.

Gui-duck KWON

Sung-il and Jin-seock worked hard

here and there but...
