Whenever Possible (틈만나면,)

- It's like we're in your hometown. - Right.

A lot of my friends...

- used to live around here. - I see.

Mia-dong, Ssangmun-dong, and Suyu-ri.

Ssangmun-dong.

Did you watch baseball, Professor Ahn?

(The national team advanced to the quarterfinal.)

- I... - The World Baseball Games...

I didn't have time to watch baseball.

The conversation is already going downhill today.

Yesterday was the first day of the new semester.

- I see. - It's been hectic...

- Are you busy these days? - at school.

- Right. I can understand that. - Seriously.

Starting a new semester is different.

You know? That's different.

Then did you give a lecture?

- Yes, I did. - How did it go?

- I was nervous. - Of course.

I was nervous.

I was told to cut...

- the first lecture short. - I see.

I was going to end the lecture only after an hour.

- But did it run long? - Yes. It lasted two hours.

- That's not that long. Good. - So I gave my first lecture.

- Yeon Shik needs a good start... - Well,

- I'm a rookie professor. - to his professorship.

You need a good start.

- Today's Whenever Friends... - Who are they?

I wonder who they are.

Ssangmun-dong.

What?

They don't know we're coming.

Right. I didn't know the staff kept it a secret.

What if they don't recognize us?

That's possible.

Shall we go in?

(Who are these concerned Whenever Friends?)

I thought I should wear it. Wait.

- Hello. - Gosh, it's Hae Soo.

Hello.

- Hello. - My gosh.

It's been so long.

(He played a close friend of the famous guy, Gi Hun.)

(a baseball player who was sent to prison.)

(The most sought-after actor in the industry now)

(He's known as the go-to actor of a global streaming service.)

(The villain in "The Legend of the Blue Sea")

(Truth be told, he's the top actor for playing villains.)

(There seemed to be bad "Karma" between them.)

(who have been friends for a decade are today's Whenever Friends.)

- It's Hee Jun. - It's been so long!

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hae Soo. - Have you been well?

- Amen. - Amen.

"Did you eat?"

- It's been so long. - We met at an awards ceremony,

- right? - Right.

- I haven't seen Hee Jun in a while. - Gosh, Hae Soo.

- Gosh, Hae Soo. Sit here. - It's because...

I always see Hae Soo in spring.

Right, we do. That's why I like spring.

- Right. - Yes.

- You worked out a lot, Hee Jun. - Yes, I've been working out.

You've been working out.

- Goodness, are you... - Look at his muscles.

Are you planning to compete in the World Baseball Games? Why...

- Hold on. Hee Jun. Hae Soo. - Yes.

Did you watch the World Baseball Games yesterday or not?

- I couldn't. I was filming. - I couldn't.

What is it?

- Actually, - This is so frustrating.

I couldn't watch it either.

Jae Seok had a lot of fun watching the game.

- Really? - I couldn't match his excitement.

I've got something to say about baseball. You know?

- Right. - Did you also play baseball?

- He played a baseball player. - I did.

- Right. You did too. - Yes.

- "Prison Playbook." - You also played a baseball player.

- I did too. - That's right.

He played a baseball player who went to prison.

- Yes. - You played a baseball player.

I played a baseball player.

Was it for rigging the game?

No, it wasn't anything like that.

- That's why. No, they shouldn't be. - Games shouldn't be rigged.

Hee Jun, you made your debut a long time ago, right?

Yes. I made my debut about 25 years ago.

Has it been that long? It's been about 25 years.

Hee Jun left a strong impression with his recent performances...

in his projects. Right?

Seriously. It was like he had no ethics.

- Come on. - Are you talking about "Karma?"

- Did you watch it? - Of course.

Thank you.

- He was a disgrace to his family. - My gosh.

Why are you saying that to his face?

- Seriously. - He was simply playing a character.

Just thinking about crossing a line with one's family is scary enough.

- Right. - There was this scene...

where I tried to steal the condolence money...

- at my father's funeral. - Yes, I remember the scene.

I said, "I'll pay with this. Put it back."

When the director said, "Cut,"

my hand that was holding the money was shaking so much.

Doing something like that is just crazy.

Doing that is just beyond imagination in real life.

But when you act a scene like that in a drama...

Did you guys work on a project together?

- Yes, we did. - Tell us about it.

It's called "The Scarecrow."

- "The Scarecrow?" - Yes, it will air on ENA.

The drama follows a detective and a prosecutor...

as they track down a serial killer.

A prosecutor? I see. You're playing a prosecutor.

- He's a prosecutor this time. - In this drama...

(He transforms into a prosecutor from a disgraceful son.)

You're not playing a corrupt prosecutor, right?

My character isn't all that nice.

There's a reason.

Hee Jun might not be...

- the villain in this drama. - Right.

But his character isn't exactly nice.

- Right. - Okay.

So the drama is about your pursuit of a serial killer?

My character tries to find the real culprit of the serial murder.

But our characters have a history.

It's the same MO.

(The detective chasing "the killer," Park Hae Soo)

There was a scarecrow.

(The prosecutor chasing "the detective," Lee Hee Jun)

The reason the victims weren't on their guard around him...

(A detective decides to work together with a prosecutor...)

(while hunting down the real culprit of serial murder cases.)

(A crime and detective thriller based on actual events)

We'll wait and make a move when the time is right.

If we get caught, we'll be the scarecrows.

We end up working together.

- You end up working together? - Yes.

When will it premiere?

It will premiere on April 20 on ENA.

- On ENA. - Yes.

- That sounds like a good drama. - It is.

- It does sound like a good one. - Yes.

So we're in Ssangmun-dong.

- Who has ties to Ssangmun-dong? - Do you have any ties to it?

- I used to live here temporarily. - What?

- When? - Really?

It was over a decade ago.

It was before I got married.

I used to live with my friends for some time.

They were your roommates?

But I moved out on my own and lived here for a bit.

You used to live here.

The three guys used to live in a rooftop house.

- Three actors... - People dream about doing that.

lived in the rooftop house.

We had a big dog. And it was a male dog too.

- Everyone was a guy. - It was a he too.

Right. We played console soccer games all the time.

We talked about acting all day.

We put acting books in the fridge.

Why?

Well, no reason. We were just being pretentious.

Let's say we had guests over.

"Bring some beer from the fridge." When they opened the fridge,

there was a book by Stanislavski.

- "What's this doing here?" - Right.

Playing console soccer games in a rooftop house...

is a fantasy all guys have...

- when they're young. - Right.

- They'd be in college. - Or when they're in college.

- A life in the rooftop house. - But once you live there...

It gets cold and hot.

- Living there isn't easy. - Right.

That's why I decided to move out on my own, so I did.

I got lonely.

I got shingles...

because I was lonely.

- It was that bad? - I gave up only after a year.

Shin Won Ho set the drama in Ssangmun-dong.

- Right. - Yes.

- The drama, "Reply 1988," - It was "Reply 1988."

- It was in Ssangmun-dong. - was set in Ssangmun-dong.

- I grew up in Suyu-ri. - Right.

So I've had ties to Ssangmun-dong and nearby neighborhoods...

for a long time.

The theater actors and actresses...

- Right. - from Daehak-ro used to live...

- Right. Jeongneung-dong. - here and in Jeongneung-dong.

- Suyu-ri and Mia-dong. - A lot of them lived in Suyu-ri...

- and Mia-dong. - Around Hansung University.

- They lived around Line Four. - It was close to Daehak-ro.

You could come here...
