Picturing him working hard

at his resolution,

Byung-gil heads to

where Sye-jin lives.

What is he doing this early?

I'm making them calloused...

I had them bandaged.

I kept hitting

even when they bled.

He answered that

he was training

to become a K-1 fighter

like Seong-hoon Choo.

I used to do a little boxing.

I know I may look like this

and have tiny shoulders,

but there's nothing I haven't done!

Jin-seock is an okay boxer.

But he's missing something.

Sye-jin didn't seem cut out

for the brutal life of Seoul.

But living in isolation

on an island,

he seems to have lost

a sense of reality.

A colleague of Ranch:

Kyung-dae MOON

What do you think of his tattoo?

He's out of mind.

You have to rule with your glare!

Like this and this! Right?

His shoulders are my size!

At night, he watches K-1 bouts

and learns how to fight.

I fully comprehend now the saying

that TV ruins the child.

Don't they say that human beings

are always learning?

The inconsistency between

dream and ability.

It's painful to watch.

Why is his life going this way?

I was really lucky as a kid.

I'd raked in the money at poker.

One day,

I went to find wild orchids.

It had rained the day before.

I found a hole

big enough to go into.

I lit a torch and went in.

On the floor,

there were bones. Bones!

Bones and broken dishes.

I thought, 'These are remains.

I've struck it rich.'

I called MBC broadcasting station

and told them I've found remains.

The next day, the borough head

comes and talks to my dad.

I thought he was praising me

to my dad.

Suddenly, my dad comes after me with

a stick, you know, from a coolie rack.

He starts cursing me out,

"You brat!

Going into someone's tomb!"

"What for?

What were you doing there?"

I realized then

it was someone's tomb.

Since then, nothing's

worked out for me.

Colleague of Ranch: Jeong-je WOO

You've known Sye-jin for a long time.

What do you think he'd be best at?

I think farming

would be best for him.

What else can he...

He's got no perseverance!

He gets bored easily.

Just tell him

he should farm with his dad.

Stop with this nonsense!

If he farms,

what would he farm best?

I don't think there is anything.

The only thing Sye-jin can do is

to help his dad and learn from him.

I wish for him to settle down.

No more wandering.

Farm? That'd be embarrassing.

People would look down on me.

They'd say I'm farming cause

I can't do anything else.

There's nothing to do

except for horse riding.

I'm starting to get famous here.

It'll be amazing.

Soon guides will say

'For horses, go to Sye-jin Jeon.

He'll give you an incredible ride.'

Even beginners will get to gallop.

He's even pitiful riding a horse.

After hurting his back

from the fall,

he didn't work the ranch that day.

Instead, he went to see another

dream of his, a horse-circus.

I really want to do this now...

But since I can't...

I'd be real good at it.

I really wish I could...

So I try to watch

as much as I can.

The more I watch, the faster

I'll catch up later so...

I'll use it someday...

The next morning.

As if to prove

that his back is fine,

he takes his shirt off

upon getting up.

He looks cool

as if in a yakuza movie.

Until...

Damn, I dropped my phone.

Damn! Ouch!

Ah, the cover!

The cover fell off!

Dammit! My f***in' life!

When on earth will we see the power

of the tattoo on his miserable life?

He must be feeling better.

Sye-jin starts to dance.

He drops by a dance hall now and then

to further another dream, dancing.

Embarrassed by his fall yesterday,

he asks us to re-shoot.

Oh dear. I thought he was

going to fall off again.

Still... This may fit him

better than farming.

Nice and toasty.

It's like a stove!

An ondol room!

Good job! Go! Run!

I still think... there's at least

15 new jobs waiting for me.

Jobs that I would never expect.

As long as he has passion

and interest for his dreams,

the day will certainly come

when he finds his true dream.

We're flying to China

to film Sung-il.

Our budget barely allowed for

a very humble itinerary

so we traveled with a group

and mainly used trains and buses.

Byung-gil and the camera crew

take a train to the location, Urumqi.

After a 14-hour journey,

they arrive at Urumqi the next morning.

From this point, they are on their own

having departed the travel group.

No more hotel breakfast included,

of course.

They fill their stomachs

with some street food.

Tomorrow,

we'll eat in a hotel, right?

They arrive

nearby Sung-il's hotel.

But it's not easy

to find which hotel.

The language barrier

is a big problem.

At last, they get to Sung-il's

hotel after getting lost and

asking for directions

countless times.

5 hours of flying, 14 hours

on a train, 4 hours by car,

and finally,

an hour of walking.

It has been 2 days

since leaving Seoul.

Should we ask once?

I'll go ask.

Though Sung-il is staying there,

he is presently on set.

They find a place nearby to stay.

As soon as they unpack,

the producer is on the phone

to get cooperation.

Producer Yong-hee LEE

We all know how it is...

How much are we allowed

to shoot?

His expression doesn't look good.

They said no but... Why don't we

just go ahead and shoot?

With no permission, they head to set.

They thought begging would work.

But begging didn't work here.

Hey, what happened there?

- A scratch.

We got a glimpse of the set that

we were curious about

from the scar

on Sung-il's forehead.

His wardrobe and makeup made us

more curious about the set.

How come your makeup is so quick?

Because I'm not important.

Who cares? Sung-il is still

a star in our documentary.

They remain here alone after

everyone has left for location.

To go through so much

to be so close.

Lamenting their pitiful situation,

they are unable to leave.

Did the heat of the desert

dry up even their brains?

Suddenly, they decide to go for it.

Come what may...

This is the set of

"The Good, The Bad, And The Weird".

It's not open

to the public so...

we are secretly

giving you a glimpse.

- Excuse me? Who are you guys?

- Yes?

- We're the stunt school team.

- Oh, I see.

We are just shooting,

for ourselves.

Oh, you are?

Okay, okay, our crew.

Our staff!

Oh, they thought

we were a problem?

Yes. They ask us

to control the press.

Yes, of course...

So they wanted to make sure...

Although producer Lee smiles

and talks with them nonchalantly,

he is completely

petrified right now.

I don't think you can shoot.

With heavy heart, Sung-il

tells them they can't shoot.

As an apology,

he wants to buy them dinner.

Though still

working on his singing,

because the film needs many stuntmen

Moon-cheol is also here.

They are all glad to

see him there.

The next day, a middle-aged man

approaches them at the hotel.

I uh... You know him...

I was going to give it myself but...

Ah... You want us to give this

to the actor Byung-hun Lee

filming here, yes?

You know people

but I don't know anyone.
