Running Man (런닝맨)

(A brisk fall day when the heat has subsided)

(Jae Seok is the first one to show up at the studio.)

What's this?

Good morning.

It's been a while, right?

(So Min is back after 5 days of self-quarantine.)

I'm back.

Hello.

Why did you tell me to come to the underground parking?

When we film the opening separately like this,

we always get to choose something and betray each other.

- Hello. - What are we doing?

Hello. What do we do today?

Director?

This is...

What's going on?

Gosh, I'm startled.

Gosh, he scared me.

My goodness.

What do we do?

My goodness.

(Agents in a familiar mask are showing up.)

What are you doing? You startled me.

What's this? Is it "Squid Game"?

What's going on? This is terrifying.

This is...

Seriously?

Gosh, this is what we're doing today.

Really? Are we really playing "Squid Game"?

It's squid.

It's squid.

(She greets the familiar agent politely.)

Hello.

Gosh, hang on.

(The agents from the screen are standing in front of them.)

Is this...

"Squid Game"?

It's a square.

(They've suddenly come into reality.)

A square means a high-ranking post.

Isn't this "Squid Game"?

Who is that?

Is a squid in there?

Are you a squid?

(But the agents remain silent about their identity.)

What's going on?

Sir, would you like to play a game with me?

What?

What game?

I know what this is. Am I going to die?

This is...

Let's do it. What game?

What game?

Sir, have you played a game of slap-match before?

Actually, I'm good at it.

You'll play a game of slap-match with me.

Every time you win,

you get my ttakji and ten dollars.

Your ttakji and ten dollars?

(They are offered ten dollars for winning a game of slap-match.)

Gosh, this is fun.

And if I win,

I will take your ttakji.

Okay.

What? Seriously?

Once one of us runs out of ttakji,

the game is over.

When I watched the drama,

I thought...

I would...

win at least 1,000 dollars.

You don't want to mess with the members of Running Man.

You can be the first to play.

Okay. I get two?

(Each member gets two pieces of blue ttakji.)

Okay. Let me warm up first.

(The first player warms up his shoulders.)

Do you want me to go first?

I excel at this.

What are you going to do?

I'm really good at this.

I was the king of the game of slap-match.

I won't go easy on you. Are you okay with that?

(The king fails to flip over the agent's ttakji.)

You're bad at this.

(Fortunately, he gets one more chance.)

Gosh, this is...

Do you know advantageous for me when it's upside down?

Okay.

- Okay. - You flipped over my ttakji.

- Yes. - You get ten dollars...

- and a piece of ttakji. - All right.

My goodness.

This is the last one.

If I win again, the game is over.

I'm not like Lee Jung Jae.

I'm good at this.

I'm the king of this game.

Go easy on me, mister.

Mr. Squid.

I'll go first.

(The agent flips over Se Chan's ttakji right away.)

What? Why?

What?

(The agent suddenly hits Se Chan on top of his head.)

What was that?

You didn't say you'd hit me.

Every time you lose your ttakji,

you'll get hit with a toy hammer.

Then I will take one of your ttakji.

Why did you not tell me that?

(They get ten dollars if they win, and they get hit when they lose.)

I'm in trouble.

What if he flips it over?

(The player gets hit on top of his head.)

You're wearing Crocs.

Okay. I get it.

This is what I'm good at.

(Jae Seok is playing what he's good at.)

All right.

Gosh, I did it wrong. It was a mistake.

Gosh, I did it wrong.

It was a mistake.

I...

That's because it was so sudden.

Gosh, this is crazy.

(Jae Seok's blue ttakji is flipped over right away.)

Every time you lose your ttakji,

you'll get hit with a toy hammer.

Place it again.

Hey. Excuse me.

(The game of slap-match is getting more serious.)

Gosh, I missed it again.

(But Jae Seok's ttakji gets flipped over again.)

You're not good at this.

You're bad.

Why are you so bad at the game of slap-match?

Hang on.

(The wiry player strikes a strange pose.)

Yes! I get ten dollars.

Mr. Squid isn't good at this game.

I mean...

You're terrible at this.

Okay!

This is amazing.

I didn't know I was good at this.

(So Min wins 2 games in a row and gets 20 dollars.)

All right. Thank you.

He's surprised that I'm good.

Actually, I'm not good at this.

(While So Min puts on air after winning the game,)

Let's play one more time.

Just one more round. I wasn't warmed up enough.

Hey.

(the self-proclaimed kings start to mess things up.)

(The agents never go easy on the members.)

That was really hard.

Go.

(They thought they'd be good at this since they have some experience.)

That was offensive. Okay.

(Except So Min, all the members lost their ttakji.)

Let me play one more round.

Can you give me one more chance?

Let's play one more round.

I'll give you ten dollars. Will you play one more time?

(The members forget about the pain and ask for one more chance.)

Is it over?

I didn't get much money.

(They are disappointed that they didn't make much money.)

Sir.

There's a place where you can make easy money like this.

(The original soundtrack of "Squid Game")

(They get a mysterious card from the agents.)

"Will you join the game with big prize money to change your life?"

Webfoot Octopus Game?

(Will you join the game with big prize money to change your life?)

It's a webfoot octopus, not squid.

It's Webfoot Octopus Game.

Webfoot Octopus...

(The 7 members are invited to the game.)

Webfoot Octopus Game?

"Will you join the game?"

What? Are you inviting me?

Hey, Squid.

Webfoot Octopus Game.

I'll join.

I'll join the game.

Webfoot Octopus Game?

(This is Webfoot Octopus Game which is cheaper than squid.)

(Squid: 7.5 dollars, Webfoot octopus: 3 dollars)
