[Love is for Suckers]
[The names of places, organizations, characters, agencies, and incidents in this drama are fictitious]
[Recap] The comments people leave all say I'm the national one-sided lover.
I think I received an undeserved love confession.
I'm also curious about what kind of person you are.
Get your head on straight.
Turning an individual into a stupid idiot in a moment,
is only a difference of one perilla leaf.
You're an entertainment section reporter?
What do we do? There's an article!
It's definitely not because of malpractice.
Did a person die during an operation or not?
- What's certain is that this post is a rumor. - Are you sure?
I did kill a person.
I'm the one to blame for the death.
He came to report something about Mr. Park Jae Hoon.
Everything the reporters said is all a lie.
There was no medical accident. It was all because of me...
It was all because he was trying to save my life...
Park Jae Hoon...
- So, you can't get in touch with him?
There is a place where I feel he might be...
He's probably there.
Then let's go together with the staff.
If you want to fix the situation for him,
then act like a broadcaster and be thick-skinned.
My father...
He was transported to the emergency room due to an accident,
Send up the middle schooler.
How I could possibly not recognize my father?
I just can't bring myself to forgive myself for that.
So I feel guilty toward everyone.
Jae Hoon.
There is someone you must meet so we came together.
Doctor, I'm Myung Hoon.
Both of your lives were ruined...
I've been so sorry and distressed, Doctor.
You've suffered a lot.
You've done well.
Tonight, at a haunted house, we are going to have a horror experience date.
And your date partners will be chosen by picking lots.
Ji Yeon?
The cast members, be on standby!
We're going to start shooting.
Ji Yeon & Jae Hoon couple, get going, please.
Sunbaenim, it's raining.
Return to the Kingdom with the cast first.
What about you, Sunbaenim?
I'll collect the stationary cameras inside and be right behind you.
Goo Yeo Reum!
Stay there.
- Who is it? - Me!
What?
Your shoe size is 39, right?
Yeah, why?
How about these?
Well...
- not bad. - Want to buy them?
Where did you get them?
They're a limited edition I went through so much trouble buying.
But I bought the wrong size.
I'll especially sell them to you
at the price of...
235,000 won.
Just exchange them in your size.
These were really hard to get.
My size already sold out.
You can sell these at a premium price.
Fine, I'll try them on.
It fits well. It's perfect!
100,000 won!
You're crazy, you're crazy.
You should be reasonable in your offer.
- 150,000 won? - Forget it. Give it to me.
Gosh! All right.
This is a limited edition?
Do you know how much the resale price is?
How much is it?
This conversation isn't going smoothly.
If you're not going to buy them, take it off. It's going to smell.
If it smells, I can't sell them.
- Just take it off. Give it to me. - Hey, hold on. Hold on.
Okay, deal. I'll buy them.
You must like them, huh?
Well, I guess.
They're okay.
Man, I really shouldn't
sell them for so cheap.
Hey, the negotiation's over.
- Gosh... - Come on,
stop being so clingy!
I'll send you the money right away.
You can just keep them.
What?
Now that I think about it, it was your birthday recently.
Just keep them.
I'm leaving.
Hey, Park Jae Hoon!
- What? - You...
bought these for my birthday, but they arrived late, huh?
I said I bought the wrong size.
Hey! I absolutely love them!
Thank you!
Yay!
[Love is for Suckers]
[Episode 11 - Unwelcome Guest]
- Hee Chang. - Yes?
Pack all of the equipment
and return to the Kingdom with the cast first.
What about you, Sunbaenim?
I'll collect the stationary cameras inside and be right behind you.
No, I'll collect them.
No, it's fine.
We need to move the large equipment first.
- Are you sure you're fine? - Yeah.
I'm fine.
Well, Sunbaenim, at least take a raincoat.
- It's really coming down. - It's okay.
- Move quickly. Hurry, hurry, hurry! - Got it.
[Jae Hoon ♥ Ji Yeon]
Aigoo!
Gosh.
It's coming down so fiercely.
Wipe yourself with this.
You go ahead.
I'm fine.
Go on and wipe off.
Thank you.
Is there a hole in the sky?
It's so cold.
What should we do?
You might catch a cold if we're not careful.
Right?
If you're okay with it, I can give...
give you a small hug like this.
Oh, you don't have to...
But...
it's warm.
I'm a human heater.
Ahjussi!
Please turn off the air conditioner.
It's f***ing cold.
Everyone's here, right?
We'll head to the Kingdom now.
Excuse me, Producer.
I don't see PD Goo Yeo Reum.
Sunbaenim said she'll pack the cameras and come later.
By herself?
Yes, she's going to ride the staff bus and come separately.
Ji Yeon,
I'm really sorry.
You go ahead.
Producer,
I left something behind.
I'm going to go back.
Hey, wait a minute.
Jae Hoon.
Jae Hoon!
Goo Yeo Reum!
- Jae Hoon... - Stay there.
Hey!
♫ On this long winding road ♫
Hey, you...
♫ There's a trace of kindness that came and went ♫
♫ A smile you take for granted ♫
♫ And the today and tomorrow that I've been looking forward to ♫
♫ I become saddened all by myself ♫
♫ Sitting on two swings that are side by side ♫
♫ Even if I love you in my excitement ♫
♫ I'm still in the same spot like this ♫
♫ Saying it's okay ♫
♫ This is what I tell myself as a wish ♫
♫ But that's just what I want to hear from you ♫
♫ Or probably just telling myself as I endure ♫
Aigoo, wipe yourselves with this.
Thank you.
Thanks for today.
Don't get me wrong.
I came as a friend.
I didn't mean anything else by it.
Yeah.
I'm also thanking you as a friend.
Must you...
always do it yourself when there are so many other staff members?
I'm the one in charge.
In this rain, without any backup...
I know it's your job, but it's dangerous.
There weren't even any streetlights.
- It's reckless. - Exactly.
That's why I should do it instead of ordering someone else to do it.
[Kingdom of Love 2]
Wow!
Look at the shrimp. They're huge!
These are really big.
Everyone did great today, so shall we raise our glasses?
- Shall we? - Shall we?
- Good job! - Yes, good job.
How was the haunted house experience?
Hwang Jang Goon was totally
all over Soo Mi.
I did want to get to know her all this time.
Your physical closeness was quite extreme.
You were also stuck on Jang Tae Mi's side.
I thought you guys were Siamese twins.
What did you say? S***ese twins? (Similar sound)
What's that?
Whoa, whoa, let's not fight amongst ourselves.
- That's right. - Why fight?
This is where we can be open and get to know anyone we want to.
That's what I also think.
But he suddenly got angry.
Calm down, calm down, okay?
But what are S***ese twins?
A type of twin.
Twins who are conjoined...
Are you sure?
I think he was cursing.
It's not profanity.
By the way,
what was with Park Jae Hoon earlier?
Does he have something going on
with PD Goo Yeo Reum?
I think he went to go get her.
That's a bit weird, huh?
All that trouble?
- To go back there? - I know!
Han Ji Yeon had a totally crappy look on her face earlier.
They're...
high school friends.
Really? Friends?
I'm aware that Jae Hoon joined this program because of PD Goo.
What the? Is it friend chance or something?
And where might our bro John get that kind of top intel?
You should be friendly with the staff.
You might get some special treatment.
That's how I happened to find out.
But if you consider Ji Yeon,
he shouldn't have done that even if they're friends, no?
Exactly!
All that trouble to go back.
Don't you guys have any female friends?
You're all overreacting.
What's this?
Why is he taking sides?
I know.
What's going on?
Me?
When?
I'm not someone who takes sides.
Hurry up and eat.
- You're suspicious. - Eat up.
Thank you.
Go in.
Okay.
You get some rest, too.
What a load of bulls***. F***.
F***!
They're all bulls***ting, those bastards.
[Ji Wan's choice is sweet good-mannered Joon Ho]
Okay, everyone's pathway at first is going to be
right here. Right here. Here.
Please set up the cameras around here.
Yes, here.
The cast is on standby, right?
Yes?
[Park Jae Hoon]
Good morning.
Yes...
What brings you to my room?
I usually don't stick my nose where it doesn't belong,
but it kept bothering me.
This.
What is this?
What do you mean?
It's the string that you severed before you left last night.
Did you know people on the internet
call you superior Jae Hoon, inferior Ji Yeon?
Superior Jae Hoon...
inferior Ji Yeon?
You're superior, and Ji Yeon is inferior.
Just because Han Ji Yeon likes you more,
she's getting ridiculed online.
I had no idea about that.
That string...
Everyone severed it as soon as we got back to our rooms.
But...
it holds a different meaning when the man severs it one-sidedly.
Women get hurt, superior Jae Hoon.
I happened to come across her last night.
Han Ji Yeon was crying a lot by herself.
I grabbed it out of the trash,
and it's up to you whether you
officially sever it again or not.
Whether you explain to her why you
left her behind or not.
Stay still.
We'll start filming now!
I'm going to mark the slate!
One, two, three!
The male cast will ask the female cast out on a date today.
When the female cast member you want to date passes by,
you just need to walk along with her.
The female cast can move to the top of the stairs!
We'll begin the selection!
Han So Yeon, please head down!
Park Ji Wan, please head down!
Shall we go?
It's as I predicted.
They look so good together.
Jang Tae Mi, please head down!
Geum Soo Mi, please head down!
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Han Ji Yeon, please head down!
Ji Yeon.
Do you like macarons?
Yes.
I know a place that bakes really great macarons.
What do you want to eat today?
How about gnocchi? What you made me was really delicious.
I don't have potatoes today.
- It's hot, isn't it? - Yes.
The sun's shining down from here. What use is it to shade her from there? Do this.
- Soo Mi, I'll shade you- - There's a fly here.
I think we can see the big picture.
Right?
It's only fun with variants.
We even added a random date, but they won't mix.
Gosh...
Why are they all so obvious? So boring.
We can just add another random date next time.
I don't think that will be enough to shake things up.
Then...
shall we release some gossip, so they can yank on each other's hair?
We can tell the kids to do so. Do it subtly.
We did that in Season 1.
We need to bring in something new.
Should we rile up Han So Yeon?
Let's not mess with her.
Why not?
She said during her interview
that she was treated for bipolar disorder.
That's why I chose her. So she can cause trouble.
That's true,
but not now.
I think now is the perfect time to rile her up, though.
No.
Look at her expression.
She's scary. Don't mess with her.
Excuse me, Writer!
Yes?
I don't see PD Sang Woo these days.
Is anything wrong?
You see...
PD Kim Sang Woo can't come to the location for now.
Why?
- Is he sick? - No.
That's not it...
Well, actually...
[September Production Expenditure]
[Incoming call]
Yes?
Yes, hello, Park Ji Wan.
How can I help you?
I'm sorry, PD Kim.
What?
For what?
I heard...
that you tried to stop...
what I said from being broadcasted,
and got scolded
and was even banned from coming to the location.
I'm really sorry.
There's no reason for you to apologize.
This is my job,
and I'm just taking responsibility for my judgment.
You absolutely don't need to be sorry.
Thank you...
PD Kim.
More than me,
Goo Yeo Reum sunbaenim is really looking out for you.
She said she wants to show the viewers,
what a good person you are.
Please arrange this for Soo Mi.
Since it's a love triangle.
Do you want to go?
We should.
Yeah.
- I think that's fine. - Okay.
[Will there be a couple?] Drink! Drink!
Welcome.
- One black, please. - Okay.
It's 4,500 won.
Is this...
fun?
Is a program like this fun?
Sorry?
Is a trashy program like this fun for you?
I-I'm sorry.
Please go first.
PD Goo!
Yes.
If you have time, can we talk?
PD Goo!
Yes.
If you have time, can we talk?
There's something I need to tell you.
What is it you want to say?
Well...
I want to apologize.
I'm sorry for mistreating you
back then.
Why all of a sudden?
When "Ramen Chef" was at its high,
I came out on TV, and people recognized me,
so I must've turned arrogant with no regard for anything else.
But after coming here and spending each day with you,
I realized you're a very good person.
You have a great sense of responsibility and are very considerate.
I don't have other intentions.
Really, as I said...
I recently started thinking I should apologize to you.
And well, perhaps
I think you could've been the best woman I had flirted with
and realized I have very poor taste in women...
What's this? You're embarrassing me.
We could at least say hi from now on, right?
You've been ignoring me all this time.
Sure.
Let's at least greet each other from now on.
Okay.
Then I'll get going.
Chef John,
thank you for saying that.
My pleasure. Yeah.
Who is it?
What were you doing?
I was just taking a break.
I came to see if you're doing okay.
Oh, I see.
I'm okay.
Are you really okay?
You couldn't get selected even once
and couldn't go on a single date.
If it were me,
I'd go crazy with humiliation.
I'm...
really okay.
Is there a male cast member you're interested in?
It's okay to poke around here and there.
The love line hasn't been finalized yet.
You're trying to have people badmouth me, aren't you?
Trying to get me to hit on the guys.
Isn't that better than being a wallflower?
If it were me...
I'd choose to be a villain rather than a nameless side character.
Or you can continue with no presence.
The decision is up to you.
Ji Yeon.
Thank you.
Ji Yeon,
I'm very sorry for leaving like that...
last night.
It's okay.
You don't need to speak any more about last night.
There's a camera, too.
Okay.
Ji Yeon, what would you like to drink?
Isn't that superior Jae Hoon and inferior Ji Yeon?
It is them!
Whoa, daebak!
I'll get fruit juice.
I'll get a hot Americano.
Hey, look.
I got a good shot.
When I went off the grid,
thank you for coming to find me.
I never properly thanked you.
I didn't...
believe in the malpractice rumors.
Why didn't you?
It could've been true.
Oddly...
I wanted to trust you.
You know what they say.
Liking someone means...
trusting that they possess a kind heart.
I guess...
I just wanted to believe you.
How did you hurt your hand?
Oh, during the haunted house date.
Let me see.
The wound is pretty deep.
Oh, it's fine.
It'll heal with time.
No, give me a second.
I'll go to the pharmacy.
Oh, I'm really fine.
No,
the wound is open. How can you be fine?
Stay here for a sec.
Hey, daebak!
Superior Jae Hoon and inferior Ji Yeon are on a date right now.
What are they like in person? Hey!
Inferior Ji Yeon is totally bending over backward for him.
For real! For real, yes!
She must not have any pride.
I wouldn't be able to do that.
You, too? Yeah.
Anyway, hurry up and get over here.
Ji Yeon, get up.
- Come with me. - What?
I don't want to make you wait by yourself.
Come with me to the pharmacy.
How are you with your parents?
Me? Well, I really don't listen to them.
- Oh, really? - Yeah, do you have a good relationship?
Me?
It's been a while since I buried my younger sister...
in my mind.
- Why, why? - I don't see her as a human being.
- Why? - Even this morning...
It'll scar.
It's fine.
You shouldn't leave a scar on your hand.
It doesn't hurt?
It's tolerable.
Are you usually good at tolerating things?
My wound?
It heals well, even if I leave it alone.
My regeneration skills are better than you think.
Did you know people look at us
and call us superior Jae Hoon and inferior Ji Yeon?
- Yes. - It doesn't bother you?
It's true, though.
I like you more,
so I am inferior.
- Ji Yeon... - Must you...
kill me twice with that?
You could just act like you don't know.
Saying it to my face...
Hearing it directly from you...
does hurt a bit.
Did you know people look at us and call us superior Jae Hoon and inferior Ji Yeon?
- Yes. - It doesn't bother you?
It's true, though.
I don't like it.
I wish you were the superior one.
Thank you for liking me first.
But from now on, I'll like you more.
Lovely view here, isn't it?
Yes, it's nice.
Oh, try the macarons, too. They're delicious.
Okay.
By the way...
Yes.
Joon Ho...
what do you like about me?
Why do you ask, all of a sudden?
I get curious once in a while,
why an attractive man like you
is being nice to me.
Well, I think you're...
overall a bit...
I like almost everything about you.
Okay.
Oh, but... um...
sometimes I get upset
because of you.
Why?
You're still having trouble opening your heart to me.
Does it seem like I can't open up to you?
Yes.
I think you're...
scared of men.
What?
Ji Wan,
I'll be honest with you.
You know how you told me last time
that as a child...
you were sexually harassed.
I think you're scared of men because of that,
and that's why you can't open up to me, either.
That's absolutely not true.
It's really not!
But that's how I felt.
If I...
upset you...
in any way...
that's...
because I've never been in a relationship
and don't know how to express my feelings.
I've never thought of you...
as a bad person because of my...
personal history...
or trauma of being...
sexually harassed.
All right.
Ji Wan,
I must've misunderstood you.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Unni, it's me.
Things got hot over here.
What did you say?
Really?
O-Okay. Hang up.
Yes, Writer.
Please send the film tape
to the editing room as soon as possible.
- The food is here. - Thank you.
- Enjoy.
Yeo Reum!
Hey, what brings you here without any notice?
I suddenly crave soju.
Huh?
Have a seat.
Honey!
Yeo Reum is here.
Oh, Yeo Reum is here?
- Yeah. - Aigoo.
- You want me to stir up some dakbal? - Yeah.
Extremely spicy.
Okay, I'll stir some up to set your butthole on fire!
Let's go!
But what's with your expression?
Is something wrong?
I just...
feel weird.
You feel weird?
How is it weird?
What's weird?
I just want to eat something really spicy
and make my nose run. That kind of weird.
Huh?
Whoa, this one's really fun.
Let's watch this for now.
- This is fun? - Yeah.
Ours airs after this one, anyway.
Huh? Only 10 minutes left until our broadcast.
Should I bring more beer?
Sounds good.
Hey, Jae Hoon.
Yes.
Before the broadcast starts,
can we talk for a moment?
Sure.
Right now?
Shouldn't it disappear?
Why did you do that earlier?
Do what?
What you said in front of the camera.
I was really touched,
but it was unlike you.
What you said to me was more passionate
than our actual relationship.
I didn't like that
you heard those things from people.
Someone as great as you...
calling you inferior
when it doesn't even ring true at all.
I think it was quite...
insulting.
I said so before,
but it's true.
I don't like you...
as much as you like me.
But at least...
in front of the camera,
I want to protect you.
I don't want you to hear those things
from people who don't even know you.
That's the temperature of my heart right now.
Shall we head in?
Thank you! Come again.
- Take care. - Okay.
Thank you! Come again!
Ta-da.
Hey, Goo Yeo Reum.
You should've come with Jae Hoon. Why did you come alone?
He's at the location.
I see.
Jae Hoon and Han Ji Yeon?
They really seem to be hitting it off.
Right, Yeo Reum?
Yeah.
It seems like she really likes our Jae Hoon.
She has great taste in men.
Right, Goo Yeo Reum?
I said, stop it.
Stop.
The show's starting.
Aigoo.
Our Hye Jin never misses an episode each week.
She's Kingdom's true fan.
Jae Hoon and Ji Yeon are really destined for each other!
Soo Mi,
we came out nicely, too.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
- Another glass? - Sure.
Us, too. Raise our glasses.
- Me, too. - Yes, yes.
D***, just thinking about that time gets me f***ing scared.
Wow!
I almost peed that time. Whoa!
Hoon, your language got rougher these days.
Hoon, you really played ice hockey, right?
National player.
[What kind of reaction will he have this time?]
[Whoa! Whoa!]
[John Jang is showing unexpected sides to him today]
- Scared me. - I asked them to edit this out.
Oh, my!
Are you okay?
I think you're...
scared of men.
What?
I'll be honest with you.
You know how you told me last time,
that as a child...
you were sexually harassed?
Yeo Reum, was Park Ji Wan really sexually harassed as a child?
Wow, your show is hardcore.
Can you open up about things like that?
Hye Jin, Dae Shik.
I'm going to get going.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
Because I've never been in a relationship
and don't know how to express my feelings.
I've never thought of you...
as a bad person because of my...
personal history...
or trauma of being...
sexually harassed.
J-Ji Wan!
Ji Wan!
What should we do about this...
This is so shocking.
Can something like that be aired?
Wow...
it's unbelievable.
I think there will be tons of articles.
Ji Wan!
Ji Wan, hold on. Ji Wan.
Ji Wan, are you okay?
I didn't think they'd broadcast that.
They edited it out last time,
so I thought they'd do the same this time.
I...
want to be alone for a moment.
Ji Wan, I'm sorry I misunderstood.
[Going straight ahead from here? Or an all-stop?]
Please take me to this address.
Okay.

[Shocking! Revealing Cast Member's Sexual Harassment Trauma on Kingdom of Love 2!]
[The King of Mala-flavored* Romance, "Kingdom of Love 2," even a Confession of Sexual Harassment?] (Hot and spicy)
Kim Sang Woo, what brings you here?
Oh, well...
Hee Chang sunbae left the company card at the office...
so I brought it back.
Put it there and leave.
Okay.
Kang Chae Ri sunbaenim...
Why?
I wanted to apologize to you formally.
What difference does it make now?
All authority regarding editing...
is on you, the Producer.
I overstepped my boundary.
Also, the film is the company's property...
so I really believe I'm wrong
for having deleted it without permission.
- However... - However?
I lost all desire to apologize...
after watching today's episode.
Are you making fun of me right now?
It's something I tried so hard to prevent...
so I felt empty.
Kim Sang Woo, you should return to the scene.
Sorry?
Try it yourself, so I can see what a great and eloquent
show you're trying to make.
I've got to see with my own eyes because you're so arrogant.
[Monitor Room]
You can leave.
Okay.
Who are you?
- Sunbaenim... - Why?
Did you guys make this trashy program?
Did you?
Where is the cast?
Where did you hide them?
Excuse me, sir. I don't know why you're doing this,
- but please calm down first- - Please...
put that knife down.
I'm going to call the police.
C-Call the p-police?
You f***ers!
Come here!
Move aside.
Hey...
Come here!
Sunbaenim, please get out first!
Let me go!
S***...
[The King of Mala-flavored Romance, "Kingdom of Love 2," even a Confession of Sexual Harassment?]
This is seriously nuts.
Sir, I'll get off here.
Give me back my life.
Stay still!
Sunbaenim...
Sang Woo, you!
Are you okay? Huh?
I mean...
What in the world...
Sang Woo.

[Love is for Suckers]
Didn't I tell you to do thorough background checks on the cast members?
Brandishing a knife on location?
Did you ever regret joining "Kingdom of Love"?
- Direct it for early termination. - I'm not doing that.
Even the company's severely impacted, not just you!
I heard you were aware of this.
What's your reason for allowing him to appear on the show?
I'm going to resolve things my way.
You were really shocked, too. Are you okay?
I don't know why I'm like this.
I can't control my feelings.
My heart hurts so much because of you.
