(Useful travel tips for you)
Traveling is a war too! Battle Trip!
(Kim Sook, Lee Hwijae, Sung Sikyung, San E)
Actually...
I didn't expect such a huge response.
Many people searched the travel recipes...
- On our SNS. / - Right.
In particular, Cheonggyecheon...
We played find King Jeongjo on...
- The Jeongjobanchado. / - Yes.
When I walked down Cheonggyecheon,
I talked about it and pretended to know a lot.
- Did you see it then? / - It was upside down.
It was removed from his tomb.
I pretended to know all about it.
- Useful... / - What did the girl say?
(He almost told)
A lot of people follow our travel recipes
so please participate.
Today, for people in their 30s and 40s...
- It's a special battle trip. / - Really?
That's right.
A tour of the classics from the 1980s and 1990s.
- This is... / - It's from when I was young.
- Yes. / - That's right.
- Classics that I loved as a child. / - Right.
- View them on a trip. / - That's good. What is there?
- What did you like? / - This will hint at your age.
What did you like?
- "V." / - "V?"
The foreign series?
- They ate mice. / - Diana.
- Do you know that? / - Of course.
- Yes, you're that age. / - I loved that.
Young people today won't understand.
- What's "V?" / - You don't know it?
You don't know "Knight Rider?"
- Kick, knight rider. / - Kick, kick.
You don't know this?
- You don't know "V?" / - No?
- No one knows it. / - They're just pretending.
They really don't know.
Hwijae, what's from your generation?
When you were in your teens...
When I was a teenager, Hong Kong noir films...
- They were so popular. / - Not CDs, VHC.
We watched them until the tapes stretched.
These days, we have the Korean Wave.
Back then, Hong Kong noir films were hot.
It was ridiculous. People wore scarves
made from toilet paper.
- Match sticks. / - Toothpicks.
We placed toothpicks between our teeth.
We'd do that so we could imitate Chow Yun Fat.
- For no reason. / - Today's audience...
University students came last week.
- Today, they look slightly older. / - Are they older?
We've invited 100 office workers.
Welcome!
- Korea's core. / - This part's the most important.
We'll give travel cases to those who vote
for the winning team.
One of those travel cases will contain
a free plane ticket.
A plane ticket!
- That's really important. / - Amazing.
Let's meet the travel designers who'll compete.
We have some amazing guests today.
- I feel a little small in front of them. / - Right.
For the first time on television, Sung Sikyung...
- May look a little small. / - That's right.
That's unbelievable. This week's travel designers!
- Let's bring them out. / - Please come out!
(Hong Seokcheon, Bong Mandae)
(Haha, Hyeon Juyeop, Kim Seunghyeon)
Hello.
Welcome to the show.
- What? / - Hello.
There's a variety of occupations.
- A basketball player... / - A film director.
There's also a film director.
- Our opponents... / - A restaurant owner too.
- A restaurant owner. / - Our opponents...
Is their concept short and long?
- The trip concept? / - Are you baldie and friends?
(That's mean)
Today's concept is memories of 1980s and 1990s.
We're going back into the past.
I think the titles are spoilers.
Better Exploration vs. Thrill Dunk.
It already sounds exciting.
Hong Kong films ruled during
the 1980s and 1990s.
- We're not Hollywood kids. / - They were huge.
- You could call us Hong Kong kids. / - That's right.
Matches were really popular back then.
- We'd put it here. / - We didn't know it was bad.
It would create gaps between our teeth.
We went back into that period.
We went back in a time machine.
(An elaborate city, Hong Kong)
(Two men who love this city)
(A trip to discover the heroes of Hong Kong films)
(Film director, Bong Mandae)
(A fan of Leslie Cheung, Hong Seokcheon)
"A Better Tomorrow" 1, 2, 3, "The Killer."
What's that scene? In the hotel corridors.
- Load, bang, bang. / - "A Better Tomorrow."
"A Better Tomorrow."
("A Better Tomorrow" from 1986)
We were curious about how many bullets he had.
- He kept shooting. / - He didn't run out.
He shoots around 140 bullets.
He'd shoot until everyone was dead.
- Until the end. / - He kept getting shot but didn't die.
Haha, you're cute.
- Haha's cute. / - You dressed like Stephen Chow.
You remind me of Stephen Chow today.
You look like a character from Stephen Chow's films.
(There's a resemblance)
Me?
Do you know who he means?
Thrill dunk team, where did you go?
We went to Kamakura, the setting for "Slam Dunk."
It's the shrine of "Slam Dunk."
Shohoku, Ryonan, Sendoh's school...
- Where he fished. / - The school, the subway...
- The streets they walked. / - Haruko's school.
- That uniform... / - Hey, hey!
Look at this! Look!
This, this. This is it.
This is right.
(Travel designer, Haha)
We didn't make a reservation.
We'll take three.
(Interpreter, Kim Seunghyeon)
Hey! Make an effort! Come here!
(His big appetite resembles Akagi)
(Big eater, Hyeon Juyeop)
(What kind of trip will they present?)
Were you really satisfied?
- Totally. / - I heard you boasted a lot.
Yes.
- To whom? / - It's a lie, right?
My mom and dad.
I'm sure you knew from the name Thrills Dunk.
Basketball was really popular among our generation.
(University basketball was as popular as pro games)
(A classic comic from the 1990s about basketball!)
I memorized all the NBA players, even the sixth men.
- Right. / - That's how popular it was.
Then Seunghyeon and Juyeop...
- Did you like "Slam Dunk?" / - I memorized it.
- He's memorized everything. / - I memorized it.
Really?
- Ask him how tall Sendoh is. / - He knows.
- How tall is he? / - What's his height?
190cm.
- I think that's right. / - How about Akagi?
- 197cm. / - 197cm.
How tall are you, Seunghyeon?
- 175cm. / - 175cm?
- Yes. / - You're the same height as I am.
He's shorter than me but he's good at basketball.
He was so good.
He was such a great basketball player.
The Thrills Dunk team went to Japan.
Better Exploration went to Hong Kong.
Let's view their trips.
(Trips that follow classics, start!)
This is going to be so much fun!
- Your clothes are so obvious. / - Come this way.
Do I look okay?
Hey, this is right.
It's right. This is it.
Hey! Make an effort! Come here!
(Quick interpretations, great break through power)
(In charge of interpretations, Kim Seunghyeon)
The scenery's so pretty and the weather...
- The weather was great. / - There...
- That's the best cut. / - It's so pretty.
Look at that.
It's totally different.
The train travels right next to the beach.
It's a surfer's paradise.
It looks so beautiful on screen.
(7 days before their trip)
Personally, when "Slam Dunk" ended,
I cried a lot.
Today's book, the best book of my life...
"Slam Dunk."
It was like the Bible.
The setting for "Slam Dunk" actually exists in Japan.
I really want to see it for myself.
I don't know that much about basketball.
I'm not as good as the others.
I'll act as their helper.
- Seunghyeon. / - Yes?
Do you want to take a trip?
- A trip? / - Yes.
You know "Slam Dunk," right?
- "Slam Dunk?" / - Yes.
- Of course. I cried reading that. / - Same here.
Let's go with Juyeop then.
I'd love it if Juyeop joined us.
(That's how this trio was formed)
Ryota!
- Fishing. / - Fishing.
They're cute.
- Mitsui! / - Akagi!
184.
Blood type? / - Mitsui! B!
- Mitsui. / - Miyagi.
- Akagi? / - Akagi.
Don't think about it. You're so shameless.
(What kind of trip have they designed?)
(They set out feeling excited)
This is Narita International Airport.
- Narita... Tokyo? / - That's to go to Tokyo, right?
Fukuoka.
Wow. Hurry up.
(Kamakura lies 90 minutes away from Narita airport)
(They study their comics)
(Kanagawa Prefecture)
(Kamakura)
Stand in a single line.
I'm your tour guide.
Stand. Attention!
Where do you think we're going today?
- Today... / - Which country does this city belong to?
Japan.
This school gave Shohoku a hard time.
- Ryonan? / - Ryonan!
- Ryonan. / - We're going to Ryonan High School.
If you know the character Akira Sendoh...
- His hair was like this. / - He's just too good.
He's handsome, has a great personality...
- Too good. / - Sendoh went to this school.
This high school.
- That sounds good. / - It's beautiful here.
You don't want to see Ryonan High School?
- First... / - Let's begin with that.
We have a busy schedule.
But food... You love to eat.
- I'm hungry too. / - Are you hungry?
It's your turn now.
- Let's go. / - Let's go and eat.
- Fill our stomachs. / - Let's go.
- It's the beach. / - It's so pretty.
(On the way to Ryonan High School)
It's so beautiful here. Wow.
(In front of the beach)
- The beach. / - That's why Sendoh fished a lot.
You're right. There's a history.
Is it really Ryonan?
- This is it. / - This is the spot.
- When Sakuragi visited Ryonan. / - The railway...
- It's really pretty. / - The city is so pretty and cute.
It looks quite similar, right?
Wait a minute.
This is in front of Ryonan High School.
- I see. / - Isn't this the front of Ryonan High School?
- Oh? / - You're right.
- This is the right spot. / - No, no.
This isn't it.
It's not here because...
I think it's more uphill.
He looks down.
- It's higher up than we are. / - You're right.
There's a wall here so we have to go further.
- The school must be that way. / - Wow, look at this!
Look at that.
- This is it. / - This is the spot.
- Really? / - I'm getting goosebumps right now.
This seems like the right location.
- Oh? / - It seems right, doesn't it?
I think this is it.
"Slam Dunk!"
- Let's go. This is the right spot. / - "Slam Dunk!"
It's right.
(It's right)
- That's why there are tourists here. / - Right.
This is the right spot.
- This... / - I've got goosebumps.
That's why there are tourists here.
- Come over this way. / - This is it.
This is the spot. Gosh.
I've got goosebumps.
This is the right spot.
Here it is.
- This is the spot. / - That's why earlier...
It's famous. Many people have visited here.
A little more.
- Stand still. / - Okay.
Okay.
Haha, move back a little bit.
Move close to Seunghyeon.
That's good. Turn around.
That's perfect!
Look over there.
Stand still, both of you.
- Look at dad. / - Yes, dad.
Even if they don't know the comic, it's so pretty.
- That's why people take photos. / - This is fun.
- That scene... / - It's all intact?
This is the spot.
Wait until the cars go past.
There were a lot of tourists.
Wow, goosebumps.
- Sendoh stood here. / - Sendoh...
(Recommended for fans of Sakuragi and Sendoh)
It's obvious that Juyeop's a retired basketball player.
He looks like he would've played basketball...
- But not now. / - The Charles Barkley of Asia.
- Wow. / - Because you're dressed like that.
This is incredible.
- Excuse me. / - Kamakuro, Kamakuro.
- Kamakuro. / - Excuse me.
- What's kamakuro? / - Kamakuro High School?
(Nod)
This is it?
Thank you.
- Hey... / - It's right.
But... The gates are locked.
- They're closed. / - That's Sendoh's school gates.
- Ryonan High School. / - The front gate.
Authorized personnel... It's already really famous.
We're not allowed to enter.
We have to see this.
- What should we do? / - Juyeop.
Don't do that. Just stand in front.
We have to act like regular tourists.
We should take a look inside.
Let's at least take a photo in front of the gate.
Haha, stand next to me.
(At Sendoh's school, Ryonan)
Let's move on to the next location.
Juyeop, let's go and play.
Sendoh would run when he was late.
- Right. / - Did you run when late for games?
When I was in university,
we had a practice game with a professional team.
I arrived after the first half.
- It was against the Orions. / - Really?
I arrived after the first half, played in the second half.
I scored over 20 points.
- Wow. / - That's when coach Kim Jin fell for me.
You always boast.
The viewers don't know a lot about me.
- They don't know how amazing you are. / - Right.
- I want them to know. / - Who's Kim Seunghyeon?
- Kim Seunghyeon. / - You have a lot to boast about.
- He won best rookie and MVP. / - You won a lot.
- That's impressive. / - He's the only one.
We're going to work out now.
We're going to catch Ryonan.
- What? / - Let's go and catch Ryonan.
We're going to catch Ryonan?
If there's anyone playing inside the gym,
I think we can just play against them.
The 2002 Asian Games.
It was their first time playing on the same team after
the Busan Asian Games.
Basketball fans were totally amazed.
(Skilled players have already taken over the court)
Amazing.
- You want to play with them? / - They're good.
We could end up losing.
Do I look like Hanamichi Sakuragi?
You have to do it faster.
(I'm the No.1 guard, Kim Seunghyeon)
He's on fire.
- He's cute. / - They're good.
(The Japanese players are unconcerned)
They're good.
- Let's play. / - They won't know Seunghyeon.
- Of course not. / - He's just a strange...
Just a guy in the neighborhood.
- They could ridicule you. / - Right.
- Let's play. / - Korea, Korea.
I'm a Korean player.
I'm a Korean player.
Amateur.
They had no idea how good I am.
He knows that I'm the worst here.
(The Japanese team attacks)
(Everyone freezes)
(You're nothing special)
It's Korea vs. Japan.
That's a strange dance.
We can't lose. We represent Korea.
Shoot from under the net.
(I'm the No.1 guard)
(The basketball genius is put to shame)
- Goodness. / - How embarrassing.
He's too old.
(The former national representative is excited)
Juyeop's enjoying it.
You tripped, right?
I tripped on his foot.
Haha? Haha? Really?
(I am Hisashi Mitsui, a.k.a Haha)
Got it!
(42-year-old's happy scoring a goal against kids)
Short, short.
(The Japanese player's impressive rebound)
What the?
What the?
It's like Takenori Akagi's fly swatter block.
That's terrible.
It really does seem like a re-enactment.
(A fierce competition, a 1-point difference)
They're good.
You'd better defend!
You never used to get mad on the court.
(Embarrassed)
Japan versus Korea.
(The tall middle-aged man is so enthusiastic)
- You didn't shoot as you're too tall? / - Is it good?
You only passed.
Perfect.
(He's so good)
He's totally into it.
(See? This is what I'm made of)
Floater.
- We won. / - Did we?
Good job.
- Good job, good job. / - These kids are good.
I'm not fit enough.
I can't catch up with them.
I'm the only one who didn't score a goal.
I have to practice.
I didn't score so 20,000 shoots a week.
20,000 a week is special training.
- Sakuragi's special training. / - That's right.
(Juyeop stands on the court again)
(The untold story)
There must be more.
What's your best play?
One that you were satisfied with.
I'll tell you. The Asian Games...
- The fourth quarter. / - 4th quarter.
- That was amazing. / - It was so good.
- Back then... / - Juyeop's knees still hurt.
- Right. / - Warm up.
I look like a regular middle-aged man.
You remind me of a gold toad.
I don't touch the ball because...
If I touch the ball, I want to play.
When I touch the ball, when I shoot,
I want to play basketball.
Weren't you the only person in
Korea who could dunk?
The only one the broke the backboard.
(Enoden, 100-year-old electric railway in Kamakura)
- It's real? / - This is the actual location.
It was so amazing.
We could compare it with the comic book.
You can see a pole when it enters.
The pole...
This is the angle.
The train's coming. Hurry up.
Hurry up and stand here. It's coming.
Move back.
It's fun finding scenes from the manga.
That's fun.
Film buffs look for film locations.
The Hong Kong trip should be fun too.
It's manga vs. movie today.
(They enter the world of the manga)
Sakuragi and Akagi all went to school riding this.
- Right. / - Yes.
This is so cool.
We should be in school uniform.
That would've been really funny.
You really should've worn uniforms.
What is it?
I came prepared.
Did he bring a uniform?
It's not really a uniform.
I brought a jacket that resembles a uniform.
He's making the most of it.
- His back. / - His back's huge.
(He carefully selects his outfit)
(Wait and see)
What's that?
(I don't want to look)
You're working so hard.
- Not really. / - I'm ashamed of myself.
- That's Akagi. / - Akagi?
Stand there and cover your face.
- Akagi did that. / - That's the scene.
Right.
Make it look like a uniform.
1, 2, 3.
(He's 195cm tall)
195cm.
(Proud of himself)
"Slam Dunk" fans all love that scene.
Right.

It's affordable and delicious.

The food's clean and tasty.
- It was good. / - How much will he eat?
How much will Juyeop eat?
Let's see how much he eats.
All we did was eat.
Seunghyeon, you take over.
Three of those skewers and a round one.
I want to go there.
- I know. / - There was so much to see.
- So much food! / - There was a lot of food.
That's famous. It's anchovy...
- Right? / - It's really popular.
I don't think the Hong Kong team can beat this.
They've won me over.
(Confident)
3 people.
You want 3?
3 people.
I loved these fried fish cakes.
- I love Japanese fish cakes. / - Made on the spot.
Try this.
Taste it.
It's really...
(In awe)
- It's good. / - It's really good.
(Forehead responds to the taste)
It's really, really good.

I was so engrossed in the food.

- You can't beat that. / - You want to eat it, right?
- It looks good. / - You have to eat that.
The best 3 foods. The first is fried fish cakes.
I want to see what comes next.
What's over here?

Croquettes.

(Yum)
Salted pollack roe.

(2nd Komachi food, salted pollack roe croquettes)
(The delicacies of Komachi)
This ice cream is so good.
- That's ice cream? / - Yes.
- Third... / - 1st place?
(What's the number 1 food in Komachi?)
- This. / - Pizza?
- Shirasu. Raw anchovies. / - Raw anchovies...
It's similar to whitebait.
- It's eaten raw. / - They make sushi with this.
It's eaten with rice. It's delicious.
It's used for pizzas and instant noodles.
- It's really... / - Is that a pizza?
- It's a pizza topping. / - Pizza?
This shirasu comes from
Uozumi's raw fish restaurant.
- It's served as pizza. / - It's simple and savory.
- How does it taste? / - I thought it'd taste fishy.
It doesn't taste fishy at all.
- Like baby anchovies? / - At my restaurant...
We'll make pizza with baby anchovies.
- At Itaewon? / - Yes.
(Happy)
It's good.
It's delicious.
It has a unique taste.
Shirasu has a lot of different uses.
We only eat it raw or dried.
(Hyeon Juyeop's fallen in love with this taste)
- I can't imagine the taste. / - Right.
- I can't relate. / - I can't imagine it.
- It's good. / - Pizza and raw anchovies?

Also, Kim Seunghyeon.

We're visiting the setting of "Slam Dunk."
Let's call Sangmin.
I'll ask him to sing us a song.
Park Sangmin?
- Out of the blue? / - Ask him to sing "Slam Dunk."
Ask him to sing it.
- For a shoot? / - Yes, we're filming.
(Smile)

Can you sing the last line for us?
Can you sing the last line for us?
- Really? / - Yes.

I'm at the amusement park with my kids.
Sorry to disturb your family time.

- The 1990s... / - It feels really old.
- How far is this from Tokyo? / - There's a pub.

It looks lovely.
I reserved it but didn't recognize it.
- It looked different. / - That should be the best cut.
It's like an old Japanese house, right?
- It's lovely. / - Inside...
During the day, it's a restaurant.
At night, it's our accommodation.
We can drink beer from the tap.
- I want to stay at a place like that. / - Really?
- Hello. / - Hello.
From Korea...
(In need of interpretation)
Interpret for me, hurry up.
You didn't look it up?
- Hey. / - We didn't make a reservation...
We only take reservations.
Wait.
3 people.
- All day! / - Even I know how to say that.
Even I can say that.
3 people...
- Reservation. / - That's all we needed.
Okay?
- Call? / - Here.
Thank you.
This is it?
- Here... / - That'd create a wonderful memory.
Hey! Haha!
Juyeop, Juyeop!
Juyeop!
There's another room.
There's another room here.
So this is it.
Is it long enough for him?
There's a room upstairs but
you'll get an even bigger shock.
- He doesn't look happy. / - It's narrow.
He doesn't look pleased.
He's grabbing him by the throat.
- Go and take a look. / - It's too small.
- Let's go and see it. / - It's too small.
He doesn't lose his temper easily.
- This is really... / - It's going to create memories.
What is this?
This is a youth hostel!
- The beds... / - All about food.
- It's a luxury trip, right? / - Yes.
He fooled me.
We are the world.
(Why are these stairs so narrow?)
Party time.
- The beer's free? / - It's $90 per head for 2 nights.
- Right. / - It's so cheap.
But...
You feel happy down here, right?
Wait a minute, wait.
He's a "Slam Dunk" fan. He has all the comics.
"Slam Dunk" has brought us together.
No! This is wrong!
- It's because he can't raise his head. / - Right.
(Awkward)
(Wary)
Don't worry about it.
It feels like home, right?
Have you gotten used to it?
(What did you say?)
Hotels are all the same.
- It doesn't create memories. / - That's true.
- You don't remember hotels. / - Even so...
I know I told you this before
but I'm really honored.
Thank you so much.
No, we're grateful to you.
Why are we grateful to him?
We didn't get to visit all the schools in
"Slam Dunk" but we went to Ryonan High School.
How did you find it?
I was tired but when I saw the railway...
I suddenly had goosebumps.
Most of all...
It's my favorite manga.
It was great to enjoy it together and
to be able to discuss it.
You both enjoyed it. That really pleased me.
Life's been so hard recently.
I haven't been able to laugh properly.
This trip made me smile a lot.
I was able to laugh happily.
(They remember the emotions)
Ours is pretty good.
It's touching, pleasing, delicious.
It's entertaining and memorable too.
- Perfect accommodation too. / - The concept...
Being able to share something you enjoy,
there's a sense of nostalgia.
- That's the concept of the trip. / - Yes.
You're going to become more famous!
Let me tell you the truth.
Before we saw the accommodation,
I was leaning toward this side.
- I mean it. / - Yes.
- But... / - As soon as I saw the accommodation...
Hwijae, do you only stay at expensive places?
That's not it. When I sleep...
- I have to be comfortable. / - It's not uncomfortable!
- How as it? / - It was uncomfortable for Juyeop.
We could drink as much beer as we liked.
- You get drunk. / - I drank a lot, had a good sleep.
So that's it.
Look at this.
That's it.
- You had to drink to sleep. / - When we got there...
They laid out a few more mats for me.
- I slept okay. / - Juyeop is 195cm tall.
It's okay for regular people.
- It was fun. / - Right.
You can meet new friends.
We automatically woke up early in the morning.
They had to open the restaurant.
We had to get out of there.
- No choice. / - That's a little strange.
The owners cooked for us.
- For breakfast. / - The staff came with us.
- We ate hamburgers. / - It was really fun.
- They served breakfast. / - I can guarantee this.
- The accommodation, food... / - It's so cheap!
It will be a lot cheaper than the Hong Kong trip.
- There's a huge gap. / - Hong Kong's popular.
It's busy and expensive.
- It's high-tech. Even cheap hotels... / - Wait.
Accommodation's expensive in Japan too.
- How much was it? / - Less than $50 a night.
- $90 for 2 nights. / - That's so cheap.
- The 3 of us... / - I drank $90 worth of beer.
We drank $90 worth of beer.
- They must've hated you. / - Go there, everyone!
I'm curious. Women...
- They have to shower, shampoo... / - It's there!
- There's a shower. / - There is?
- But... / - Sorry about that.
There's a shower but it's really small.
- It's not. / - You have to enter like this.
(He keeps exaggerating)
Juyeop walked around like this.
- It's higher than that. / - The roof's like that.
That's the culture.
At first, everything seems small.
You get used to it. It's an experience.
You learn that Japanese like small things.
- They make good use of the space. / - But...
The food looked really delicious.
Regional specialties are usually expensive.
- It wasn't expensive. / - Really?
We even ate sashimi.
It only cost $2 or $3 a plate.
That's cheap. It wasn't fishy?
- It doesn't taste fishy at all. / - It's anchovies.
- It doesn't taste fishy. / - Live anchovies?
- You said it smelt a little. / - It's like squid.
Finely sliced squid.
- This is it? / - Baby anchovies.
- It's eaten with instant noodles. / - A pizza topping?
- I can't imagine it. / - They even have burgers.
- Explain the taste. / - It's different to anchovies.
- Right. / - It doesn't taste fishy even if it's raw.
It's delicious when it's cooked too.
- How does it taste with pizza? / - It's delicious.
- Honestly? / - Tell the truth.
What does it taste like with pizza?
It doesn't taste like anything.
- The cheese is so strong. / - Why use that then?
I wanted to ask them that.
Why didn't you?
- Don't do that. Are you crazy? / - I'm being honest.
It's eaten for the texture.
I've tried it. It has a sweet taste.
- The taste is clean. / - The taste wasn't strong.
- Why did they use it then? / - It looks pretty.
It's delicious boiled and served with rice.
With rice and instant noodles. Wow!
You can only taste that there.
You can go to Seosan, buy some whitebait.
You can eat that with instant noodles.
- If you want to. / - That will save money.
- But... / - I think we've lost.
- No, we haven't. / - They've given up.
Let's view a Better Exploration then.
(A week prior to the trip)
Ever since I was little...
I was a huge fan of Leslie Cheung.
He held a live concert in Hong Kong.
- I searched for the video. / - Memoirs are great.
I remember seeing him sweat on stage.
- I wished I could be there. / - I loved his songs.
- "Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin?" / - I love that.
No, stop there.
I love Chow Yun Fat.
His film triggered part of my DNA.
What it means to be a man...
- To be a hero. / - A real man.
You could say he helped me to realize that.
(What kind of trip have they prepared?)
Does it take around a hour to get to Hong Kong?
- No way. / - 3 and a half hours.
- It takes 3 hours? / - 3 and a half.
3 and a half hours?
Didn't you watch them in high school?
Our high school years were the golden era.
- Right. / - I prepared some photos.
- "Comrades: Almost A Love Story." / - Right.
Scenes like this don't exist now.
Let's visit this street.
(A famous film scene from the 1980s and 1990s)
(Visit the locations of famous film scenes!)
I think we can find this spot.
This photo's lovely.
Browse through them.
(3 and a half hours from Incheon)
You have to watch the weather in Hong Kong.
Here we are.
Everyone, this is Hong Kong.
(Amused by Hong Kong)
I'll show you.
It's Hong Kong so I'll film Wong Kar Wai style.
(Small steps)
The time right now...
- It's 12:40 p.m. / - Right.
Let's go to Tsim Sha Tsui.
- The site of "Comrades: Almost A Love Story." / - Yes.
I'm so relieved.
I was so happy to hear you were coming.
- Really? / - Yes.
You love Hong Kong, right?
- I didn't tell you this. / - What is it?
Scenes like this.
Yes...
This one's not that meaningful.
Here.
From a bust shot to a full shot.
I want my partner to stand in this space.
Actors were always the center of their films.
You want me to be that actor?
That's right.
No wonder you're a director.
You have to debut in China.
You have to join the Korean Wave.
I know!
(If you were a fan of Hong Kong noir films)
(Why not visit the locations of those films?)
(Take the AEL from the airport to Tsim Sha Tsui)
That's why I bought these tickets.
The cost of 1 person and a group...
- It differs. / - Really?
The more people, the larger the discount.
Is that to encourage group traveling?
That's why I bought 10.
You can receive a big discount.
- If... / - Is this it? Let's board.
You're likely to meet Koreans at the airport.
- Right. / - Speak to those around you.
Ask them if they want to buy tickets together.
- That's good. / - It's a tip.
(Go)
(Hong Kong's beach lies outside the window)
Whenever people see the beach,
why do they always say, "It's the beach!"
- Because it's open. / - It's cool.
I love the ocean.
Do you like the ocean or the mountain?
- I love the ocean. / - Me too.
- Do you like summer or winter? / - Summer.
Same here.
Chow Yun Fat or Leslie Cheung?
- Chow Yun Fat. / - Leslie Cheung.
(These 2 different men travel Hong Kong together)
- How exciting. / - How about Andy Lau?
Back in our time...
- He was a great actor. / - Leon Lai too.
- We remember those scenes... / - Chow Yun Fat.
- Tsim Sha Tsui. / - Tsim Sha Tsui.
That place is so nice.
(We'll reveal these sites in just a minute)
(The heart of Hong Kong films, Tsim Sha Tsui!)
(A better exploration's first film location)
- Tsim Sha Tsui. / - Tsim Sha Tsui.
I love that place.
(Excited)
We're going to the actual location.
Tsim Sha Tsui.
- Tsim Sha Tsui. / - Here.
(Better Exploration's first film location)
Nice, nice.
- See that escalator in the back? / - Yes.
Behind the building.
- You searched for the setting of that scene? / - Yes.
- That sounds fun. / - You should collect photos...
- Make a scrapbbook, watch a film. / - Capture it.
- Capture the scene. / - Yes.
- It was around 1997. / - It must've changed a lot.
- Where are we? / - We have to find this spot.
(The travel designers make a discovery)
- Where are we? / - We have to find this spot.
(The escalator's an important clue)
- Where are we? / - We have to find this spot.
The escalator.
- This? / - Is this the escalator?
It looks similar.
- This is a little... / - Here.
- Women would love this place. / - This area?
- We should avoid this area. / - Why?
- We'll spend money. / - There are beautiful women.
There are a lot of shops and restaurants.
Wait. I think I've seen this spot before.
- What? / - This.
- I'm sure I've seen this on TV. / - This?
It wasn't a film.
A music video!
Sung Sikyung's music video with Cho Yeojeong.
I filmed my music video there.
Here. This is the spot.
I saw this sign, Canton Road.
He's in the video with Cho Yeojeong.
They're really affectionate. They kiss here.
- Sung Sikyung? / - In his song?
Sung Sikyung's in the video too.
He acts in his own music video.
He added a kiss scene with Cho Yeojeong.
("Even Now" by Sung Sikyung)
(Set in Hong Kong with Cho Yeojeong as his lover)
- What is this? / - Geez.
- That scene. / - It's the highlight.
(The same location, different timing?)
- Which way should we go? / - I don't know.
(Where is it?)
Where?
Show me.
There's an escalator here.
- A pillar. / - This is it!
It's here. It looks similar.
- It's similar, right? / - The store's changed.
(We've found it at last!)
This is it.
- That's the spot. / - Yes.
- It's here. The escalator... / - The shop's changed.
The shop's changed.
- Cities always change. / - It was 30 years ago.
- It feels strange seeing that. / - I know.
1, 2. 1, 2, 3.
- This is it. / - This is good.
It's perfect.
It's exactly the same.
(Don't forget this film photo zone on Canton Road)
("Comrades: Almost a Love Story," Seokcheon on a bike)
I wanted Seokcheon to ride on a bicycle.
Whose is that?
- Can we borrow it? / - Should we ask?
- You don't know? / - Only cars can travel here.
How did they film this scene then?
It wasn't a tourist site in the 1980s and 1990s.
It became a tourist site after the film.
- What should we do? / - What should I do now?
This could ruin our concept.
- We're not allowed? / - Goodness.
You got off to a shaky start.
(They can't change the concept now)
I have an idea.
- Run. / - What?
Run?
The trip in Japan was much better.
That must've been embarrassing.
(Pant, pant)
A lot of people actually recognized me.
It was embarrassing.
(Bong Mandae's "Comrades: Almost a Love Story")
(Hey, you two on the bicycle)
(Wait for me)
(It's me, Hong Seokcheon)
(Seokcheon ran all the way behind the bicycle)
Let's rest for a minute.
- Rest. / - We have to shoot it again?
We're done with "Comrades: Almost a Love Story."
- Next, Chungking Mansions. / - Chungking Mansions!
Let's go!
(From "Chungking Express")
- "Chungking Express?" / - Yes.
(By Wong Kar Wai and Christopher Doyle)
(Exposure, effects create a distorted image of HK)
The atmosphere there...
You can tell why Wong Kar Wai filmed like that.
You can feel the national sentiment there.
In a densely populated city like this...
- It must've been hard to live. / - For sure.
- It's written over there. / - Chungking Mansions.
Yes, Chungking Mansions.
(Second mission, discover Chungking Mansions!)
- Hello. / - Hi.
It's here.
(Bong Mandae enters to take a look around)
There it is.
("Chungking Express," Seokcheon runs inside)
This is the spot.
This is the entrance.
I'll receive you at the entry.
Just start running inside.
Run in and I'll follow you.
- Okay? / - Okay.
(Runs like Jincheng Wu from "Chungking Express")
(They run down the narrow corridors)
(Bong Mandae's "Chungking Express?")
(Footage edited by director Bong Mandae)
- You filmed that on your mobile phone? / - Yes.
- I can't believe it. / - On my phone.
Look at the effects you created.
It's impressive.
There's an application. It's 10 frames.
I filmed using 10 frames, not 24.
You then convert it to normal speed later.
(Viewers, enjoy watching this too)
- That's memorable. / - What a great memory.
- It's worth remembering. / - For sure.
Friends can go and shoot this.
They can make their own film.
(Pleased)
Wong Kar Wai filmed like this.
- That's how he did it. / - Like this.
- We're better than Wong Kar Wai. / - You worked hard.
- We did this in one go. / - In one go.
- Let's go. / - Today, I...
The entire city provides an environment
for the film to be made the way it was.
How should I explain it?
- All of Hong Kong is a picture. / - Right.
There's a sense of the space
wanting to open up.
Now... Wait!
- Wait! / - This is it.
- M cafe, M cafe! / - No, not that.
(What has Bong Mandae discovered?)
"Fallen Angels."
- Wow. / - The stairs that he goes down!
The stairs, right?
- "Fallen Angels." / - Wow.
I have a photo.
- It's changed. / - Here it is.
- It's changed. / - I think.
- He was reminiscing. / - It was impactful.
That was the scene.
- It's Leon Lai. / - I remember this.
Hong Kong films back then...
Everyone talked about it.
- You had to watch it. / - We borrowed videos.
You had to fight to borrow them.
The signage just had the letter M.
It was unfortunate. I thought it would be the same.
- Leon Lai. I have to... / - It's changed.
- We have to enter. / - Of course we do.
- I want a trenchcoat. / - A trenchcoat?
That's good.
- You're good. / - I'm so hot.
- I'm proud of you. / - I'm covered in sweat.
Wait. Get ready.
(Leon Lai in "Fallen Angels")
(Director Bong's scene)
If it had rained and we had a female actress...
- I wanted to film more. / - I should've gone!
- Right. / - Excuse me?
(Seokcheon's quality acting)
(Fourth location to remember Hong Kong films)
- You worked hard. / - Eat something in Hong Kong!
Yes. Have some dim sums.
- The buildings are unique. / - Totally.
It's a mix of old and new buildings.
- Chow Yun Fat eats dim sums here. / - Right.
It's really famous.
Stars visit, make the restaurant famous.
Right.
- Are they waiting for Chow Yun Fat? / - Maybe.
Oh, I know.
There are a lot of foreign maids in Hong Kong.
Sunday is their day off.
That's why they meet outdoors.
- You're like a tour guide. / - I know.
Hi.
(Chow Yun Fat's favorite dim sum restaurant)
- 4th floor? / - By any chance...
Do you know Chow Yun Fat?
- I know him. / - Is he here today?
Is he here today?
- No. / - No.
He didn't come today.
He could've drunk a lot last night.
- He might be a little late. / - Right.
(A dim sum restaurant Chow Yun Fat often visits)
- This is an expensive place. / - It's posh.
- This table has the best view. / - Wow.
That's a great spot.
He sits here because it has a good view.
(You can enjoy good food with a view)
- Dim sums eaten by Chow Yun Fat. / - Dim sums...
Do you know Chow Yun Fat?
We want to know which dim sums the stars order.
We want to eat them. Please recommend.
Shrimp dumplings.
Pork ones.
(He recommends familiar Hong Kong foods)
(The taste of Hong Kong, dim sums!)
- It has chives in it. / - That's delicious.
(Chow Yun Fat likes shrimp and chives dumplings)
(He also likes shrimp dumplings with rice shell)
(Finally abalone dumplings)
(The taste of Chow Yun Fat's favorite dumplings?)
- This has chives in it, right? / - Yes.
- I like the ones with juice. / - Shrimp.
- Shao long bao? / - I made a good choice, right?
- It has to be cooled. / - It's delicious.
- You'll burn your mouth. / - You can see the inside.
This...
It's really sticky because it's rice.
It's stuck.
- I love that. / - You can prevent it from sticking.
- How? / - Dip your chopsticks in your tea.
- Chopsticks. / - When it's steamed...
It sticks together.
I didn't know that.
(It's easy to eat now)
Chow Yun Fat...
- Look at that. / - This tasted amazing.
- The abalone's on top. / - Abalone.
It melts in your mouth.
- It's the best. / - It's good for you.
I want to eat that again.
- It's pretty. / - Wow.
It's delicious.
It's really good.
(Bliss)
It's an explosion of flavors.
It tastes totally fresh.
- The abalone? / - Yes.
Chow Yun Fat has blessed us.
- He often eats this here? / - Yes.
- When it's cooled, the taste... / - Wow.
- Mushroom soup? / - Sharksfin?
- What is that? / - Wow.
- Are they noodles? / - My mouth is watering.
Noodles?
Noodles are good for rainy days.
(The taste?)
It doesn't suit my taste buds.
- It must be thick. / - It's no good.
- It doesn't suit us. / - Koreans.
We had no choice.
You're not supposed to add anything but...
(He adds chilies)
We have to add spice to it.
(How does the soup taste with chili?)
Eat it now. It's better.
The after taste...
Is it okay to add ingredients like this?
- It's a little better. / - It's better.
Here's what I think...
You should only eat dim sums here.
This restaurant, as Hongchelin...
I'll score it on the Hongchelin Guide.
Out of 5 stars...
It gained a lot of points with the dim sums.
- That looks so good. / - It was delicious.
- Wow. / - I want to try that.
- Out of 5 stars... / - I'm going eat it today.
Out of 5 stars...
(How many stars?)
- 3. / - Our show is really honest.
- That's not high. / - If we say it's delicious...
- The viewers may visit, feel disappointed. / - Yes.
That's why.
(Hong Kong's famous for its night scenery)
(They arrive at their accommodation...)
I must be getting old.
Gosh. Today...
Chow Yun Fat, Leslie Cheung, Leung Chiu Wai...
We visited film locations.
I was able to take a look around.
It was fun returning to my memories.
I really like Leslie Cheung.
Today, we didn't visit
the locations where he filmed.
That was a little disappointing.
If we get an earlier start tomorrow,
we can explore more.
I want to follow Leslie Cheung's footsteps.
Goodness.
- What? Why are you crying? / - Why did you cry?
- What? / - What's wrong?
Something happened.
That was great.
- It looks delicious. / - The film you shot...
- Tell us about the music video. / - Yes.
Maggie Cheung sits on the back of the bicycle.
There's a shot where she turns around.
- Like this. / - She turns around once.
- Once. / - The next shot doesn't reveal anything.
She looks and that's all. So at that moment,
I thought it'd be good for Seokcheon to enter.
- A continuation? / - Hey, it's me.
- That's why he runs. / - That's horrible.
It's a matter of preference.
- Some people will like it. / - It's a famous scene.
I remember her turning her head slightly.
I loved that.
There's a film called "The Peacemaker."
There's a car chase scene in it.
It was filmed in Vienna, Austria.
I went to Vienna for a shoot.
I went there by myself in the morning.
- It was wonderful. / - I bet.
The actors filmed a chase scene there.
- It was enjoyable. / - Finding the locations...
- That's really fun. / - The thing is...
- When you see it in real life... / - It's different.
It's different to the shot...
- That you saw. / - Right.
Look at in real life then look through the camera...
- You'll fall into the film. / - You can't help it.
- If you look through the lens? / - Yes.
- So... / - The surroundings suddenly disappear.
You hold up the camera and...
You fall into the film scene.
You can enter your memories.
Photographers all do this.
They look through their fingers.
- Like this. / - This?
- They do this. / - They look.
- I guess that's why. / - Right.
- Hong Kong had The Four Heavenly Kings. / - Yes.
- Aaron Kwok, Leon Lai and... / - Who else?
Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung.
- That comes next. / - The Four Heavenly Kings.
- That's next. / - The next generation.
- Really? / - Leslie Cheung...
- Andy Lau, Chow Yun Fat, Alan Tam. / - Alan Tam.
- Alan Tam. / - Alan Tam?
Leslie Cheung was like Alan Tam.
I prefer Leslie Cheung.
Juyeop said he liked Hong Kong actresses.
- Really? / - I loved Joey Wong.
- He liked actresses. / - Joey Wang.
- "A Chinese Ghost Story." / - That film.
- Do you know her? / - Yeah!
- Anita Mui. / - Anita Mui.
- I know her. / - Anita Mui was beautiful.
- Carina Lau. / - Of course.
- Brigitte Lin. / - Brigitte Lin.
- Brigitte. / - I remember them all.
- She was so pretty. / - I remember her because...
- "Swordsman." / - I loved Andy Lau.
He came to the Busan International Film Festival.
I met him for a TV show.
There are many great scenes in "Internal Affairs"
but I really loved his suit.
I could see the inner lining of his suit.
I saw that it was red.
It wasn't in the script. I said I liked his suit.
- He was so surprised. / - You were witty.
He'd never been asked anything like that.
He said he didn't have any money so
he wore his own suit.
- Right. / - The famous Andy Lau!
His businesses all went bankrupt.
He was grateful that I liked his suit.
Since then, we're like blood brothers.
- Did you meet after that? / - He hasn't called, right?
- Did you meet or not? / - You didn't meet, right?
- I just keep meeting Lee Deokhwa. / - Lee Deokhwa.
Did you hear the disapproval?
I love that kind of disapproval.
Before the reversion of Hong Kong in 1997...
There were many stories about love.
The love that was being ruined...
Imagine that you're in love and
Korea suddenly disappears.
If you become part of another country,
what would happen to your love?
They wanted to remember that love.
- It was made into films. / - Actually...
I can't understand anything that he says.
Can you?
- "Slam Dunk" was our generation. / - A classic!
We bought the cinema version.
He cried watching it.
I cried when Mitsui said he wanted to play basketball.
What should we do?
I wanted to tap Coach Anzai's chin.
When was your age of glory?
Leslie Cheung came to Korea.
He starred on "Happy Saturday."
- Right. / - Do you remember him singing?
- That song? / - Who knows that show?
- Is that from the Korean War? / - It's too far back.
Seokcheon, please...
I know it.
I know it but don't do it.
- You look like an octopus. / - Geez.
Number 5! She knows!
- You know it? / - She knows!
- She knows it. / - She does.
Korea cried.
- Let's vote. / - We saw the first half of their trips.
- Which did you prefer? / - Vote through your apps.
(Preferences vary according to age)
(Who will they choose?)
- Seunghyeon, let me ask you something. / - Yes?
- Yes? / - When you beat China in 2002...
Did you win in the first half or second half?
We won during overtime.
We won during overtime.
Let's see the results of the first half.
Please show us.
I think it will be a large gap.
(The results?)
Did they write a new history with trench coats?
Better Exploration?
They flew on the basketball courts.
Thrills Dunk?
- The first half! / - Don't feel nervous.
Let's see the results. The winner?
Thrills Dunk.
Thrills dunk.
- You worked hard. / - It's okay.
- You worked hard. / - It's okay.
(Better Exploration 38:62 Thrills Dunk)
There's a slight gap.
It's just the first half.
I'm sure it was close.
- It was actually quite close. / - Watching the video...
I was amazed that Hyeon Juyeop's appearance
was able to gain so many votes.
I still think of Juyeop as my hero.
He stopped around their accommodation...
- He had to walk like this. / - Right.
He got a good sleep.
It isn't over until it's over.
(The competition begins now!)
(A tour of the classics from the 1980s and 1990s)
Let's go meet Sakuragi.
Look at your expression.
There it is! I got goosebumps!
- Chow Yun Fat. / - It's really Chow Yun Fat.
Juyeop, look at this!
(A battle of the appetites)
We're over.
We're working this hard. We're going to lose?
Helicam!
("Cool Girl" by Jin Haesung)
