Good quality work doesn't come out of thin air. – Kim Tae Ho

Don't say "sorry" so easily. We are PDs. What I mean is that you shouldn't grovel that easily. – Tak Ye Jin

Times of crisis are also an opportunity. – Ra Joon Mo

In this industry, you have to have your own back. If you're out there helping others, in the end you'll be left with nothing. – Tak Ye Jin

When a new program starts, it's like a baby's first birthday. Everyone comes out to give you blessings and you just smile for no reason. When a program is coming to an end, it's like a funeral. Especially when it's a lowly rated program, nobody shows up. There are no visitors and no money. It's very lonely. – Ra Joon Mo

01 The beginning is not the half of it. The beginning is just the beginning.

I can move on fairly quickly if I feel it's not working out. – Baek Seung Chan

02 Ultimately, it's the person who understands.

Am I the type that people get sick of easily? – Tak Ye Jin

I'm the type people get sick of. That's why it never lasts long. – Tak Ye Jin

This whole negotiation process is about convincing people who say 'no' to do it. This is like dating. You can't just push and be aggressive. Someone has to play hard-to-get. – Ra Joon Mo

Ni Ma Yi is something that's sound, serious, and lacking humor, Ssan Ma Yi is the opposite.

You know it won't work out, but you don't have the guts to break up with her. You just continue to let her drag you around. – Tak Ye Jin

You're the type men get sick of easily. You don't give the man a chance to be even curious about what you're doing. And let's say you don't reply back. Then in that moment he's going to think about you. –   Tak Ye Joon

03 Understanding Casting. It's the start of a relationship.

It's not living together; it's temporarily sharing an address. – Tak Ye Jin

He likes her, I can tell. He's trying very hard not to show it, but you can't hide those feelings no matter how hard you try. – Tak Ye Jin

Do you know what a PD should never forget until the end? It's all about the after effect. It's critical to have a mindset that's determined to pay back. Not forgetting what happened and paying back gives strength to the PDs. That way, people will see and want to work with me. Whether it's a favour or revenge, people want to work with a PD with the strength to pay back. – Tak Ye Jin

This is real variety. If you try to complicate it, it can be complicated. You don't have to try to do anything, just show yourself as you are. – Ra Joon Mo

I've been there before, so I know how she's feeling. – Baek Seung Chan

People only see what they want to see and they think of that as being real. – Cindy

If I want, I can totally make him fall head over heels in love with me. – Cindy

04 Understanding Reality Shows. Sometimes creating can be a problem.

I'm getting fed up of yelling at you like this! – Ra Joon Mo

What's the word that a PD uses the most? It's "cut". That's not something they say for no reason. What do you cut things with? A knife, right? In other words, it means that he is the one holding the dagger. Especially a PD that is about to start editing, they are going to start wielding that dagger however they please. – Cindy

Do you have to smile 24 hours just because you're a celebrity? – Ra Joon Mo

Saying I can and saying I will, it's totally different. – Cindy

Is Cindy insane? Why would she fall for my brother? – Baek Yoo Bin

Hey, you know what's the hardest thing? When I liked someone, I always talked to you about it. But now that I like you, I have no one to talk about it with. – Tak Ye Jin

If there's something you want to get off your chest but there isn't anyone to talk to, you can talk to me. – Baek Seung Chan

Editing is not the end, but a standstill. It means there's no answer and it's an endless task.

You'll know it when you start editing. When someone says something and there's no response from the other person, then that means you have to edit it. – Tak Ye Jin

"No one loved that person. No one was close to that person. She was a good person but she didn't care to listen to anyone."

You're like an X-man sent by Running Man. You were commanded to destroy our show, weren't you? Wait, where's the name tag? – Ra Joon Mo

We need to go on a strike and fix that woman's behaviour. – Kim Hong Soon

05 Understanding Editing. Only keep what's important.

The conversation that you edited from your memory that day, do you remember now? – Baek Seung Chan

Editing?

It's being on time. A broadcast is a promise to the audience. It's like a subbing service.

It's all about picking what's funny. If it's a mountain, I try to pick a mountain that looks funny.

It's an arrow. It has to pierce a person's heart. – Kim Hong Soon

It's makeup. People look pretty is the makeup is done well. But there has to be confidence and conviction. – Tak Ye Jin

It's giving up. Whenever there is something good or better, you pick the one that's better. You just give up the good one because you can't have everything. If you get greedy, you can end up losing it all. – Ra Joon Mo

Of course I remember. How could I not? – Ra Joon Mo

As I spent the night in a state of confusion and mental breakdown, I decided to forget the accident. I thought as long as I forget, it can be as if nothing happened. – Ra Joon Mo

I personally think you are cowardly. Even if you edited it out, there's always the raw footage. I'm sure you have it in your mind somewhere. – Baek Seung Chan

I don't think you ever experienced having a one-sided love for someone, when you like someone, but you can't tell that person. And even though you can't confess, you like that person too much to give up. If you confess, you're scared you just might lose everything. – Baek Seung Chan

My grandmother said this: Once you start crying, new things to cry about keep arising. – Ra Joon Mo

When I say something to you, just take it as it is. Don't read too much into it. – Cindy

You're being really clear about drawing that line between us, huh? – Tak Ye Jin

I caused the accident and then made you clean up the mess. – Tak Ye Jin

In an accident, what happens next is important. – Ra Joon Mo

When I like someone, I don't have an exact explanation for it. – Tak Ye Jin

Women are such amazing creatures. They do everything they can to toss the ball into the man's court. – Kim Tae Ho

I told you it's my fault, so I'll take the aftermath. – Tak Ye Jin

06 Understanding Broadcast Accidents. No matter how much you reflect, it will happen again.

Thanks for not leaving when I told you to leave. If you had left when I asked you to, I would have been so lonely. – Tak Ye Jin

It doesn't suit you to be crying by yourself like that. When you're slightly angry, or swearing, or being tough, that's when you're cool. – Baek Seung Chan

In order for a person to grow, there needs to be pain and sacrifice. – Baek Seung Chan

07 Understanding Media Play. You cannot hide the truth by simple majority.

All there's left in my life is for everything to go downhill. – Cindy

From now on, when I heard the words "amusement park", I'm going to think about you. – Cindy

Now, finally, for the first time, I've decided to live out one part of my life. Letting that part of me out into the world, and having a relationship and conflict with the world, is my ardent wish. – Cindy

If you and I get into a war, you will definitely lose. I didn't raise you into someone so dumb that you wouldn't know that. – CEO Byun

I feel that you are being a little cowardly. You know how she feels and you just leave things be. You don't let her come closer, but you sit on the fence and don't let her get further from you either. – Baek Seung Chan

A person's heart, just because you try to crush it, it doesn't mean you can. – Baek Seung Chan

Good intent doesn't always have good results. No matter how much goodwill you have in your life, if the result is bad, who will take responsibility for it? Don't butt in so recklessly, especially if you can't take responsibility 'til the end. – Ra Joon Mo

At some point, the truth has become part of your acting. – Baek Seung Chan

What is my true self? I really don't know. I don't really think of myself as a good person and I don't love myself. Who would think of me that way? Who would like me? Who is going to acknowledge me? – Cindy

I hated gym class when I was in school. I hate running. I basically hate moving in general. Why do I come to the sports competition? To eat the food, that's the fun part. – Kim Tae Ho

Loyalty is overrated. Even the recipient of such loyalty can find it burdensome. – Go Yang Mi

08 Understanding Love Lines. You know the beginning, but not the end.

The nasty things people say behind your back are like poisoned arrows. Fortunately, the words people say while hiding have no strength. So, those arrows can't pierce your heart. However, the most foolish thing you can do is pick up those arrows that have fallen on the ground then pierce your own heart with those arrows. You get hit with arrows you don't need to be hit with. You receive wounds you don't need to receive. I hope you don't do that. – Baek Seung Chan

Though you try to hide it, your feelings get caught easily. No matter how I try, my feelings don't get caught. – Cindy

Are you telling me to lay out the carpet for her? – Cindy

We are PDs. She's done nothing wrong. Should we just watch and do nothing? – Ra Joon Mo

You have to be on your toes. What's the meaning of cancellation? It's the opportunity for someone else to dig their way through. Ultimately, it's someone else's gain. If you're overconfident and not careful, the spot will be taken away from you. – Kim Tae Ho

You would grumble out loud in front of me, but secretly take care of me. – Cindy

To the person who became my umbrella when I was standing alone in the rain, I want to say 'thank you'. Because of him, it was very warm. – Cindy

09 Understanding Cancellation. It's a fight between the old and the new.

I don't want you to leave. – Ra Joon Mo

If there's something you truly wish for, it will come true. – Baek Seung Chan

If you wish for something, you have to make an effort. You have to express it. Then, the heart may reach that person. – Baek Seung Chan

Sunbae, you always say that you're a tough woman. I've watched you for the past two months and this is my conclusion: you're not as tough as you say you are. Instead, you overreact as a way of self-defense. You're actually tender, soft, and warm. Recently you've experienced loneliness that comes from a disequilibrium between your ego and self. I believe you're looking for someone who understands what you're going through, someone who likes you without reasons and someone who likes seeing you laugh, someone who wants to be next to you. That kind of someone. In your eyes, I may still look young, inexperienced, and awkward. If this is okay with you, if you're okay with my feelings for you, I would like to be by your side. Someone said this to me once, that I wear my heart on my sleeve. But my feelings that others see so easily don't seem to get noticed by you. – Baek Seung Chan

You're the one painting me out to be that guy. – Ra Joon Mo

Everyone works hard. You have to do it well. – Ra Joon Mo

There's a reason parents prefer their own pictures of their child over ones taken by famous photographers. Why do you think? It's affection. A PD must love their cast members, no matter what. That's how you'll get good shots. – Ra Joon Mo

It's important to experience loving, but it's important to receive love too. – Tak Ye Jin

Love needs a preview too. That way, the other party can prepare. – Tak Ye Jin

I insulted her every day and then she was gone. I felt empty. – Kim Hong Soon

The problem is we've been together for too long now. On some days, I see you as my friend. And on some days, I see you as a man. – Tak Ye Jin

A good preview? For me, it's an honest one. Something that makes my heart race and makes me all excited. That's all good. – Tak Ye Jin

Say there are a bunch of bright shining neon lights. It's like finding a single, quietly burning candle flame amongst it all. – Tak Ye Jin

She's more clueless than I thought. She thinks she's quick to catch and she has great intuition. – Baek Seung Chan

10 Understanding Previews. In any case, previews are for the featured show.

For the first time in my life, I gathered my courage with all my strength to confess my feelings for you. – Baek Seung Chan

I know it's a gamble and I know I shouldn't say this to you. But what can I do? I'm getting more and more nervous. If I leave you alone, I feel like something is going to happen. – Ra Joon Mo

The way I see it, it seems that you only see me as a young, sometimes cute subordinate that listens to you well. From this day forward, I believe I've created an opportunity for you to see me in a new light. – Baek Seung Chan

Rather than breaking an established relationship and starting a new one, it can be more valuable to protect the relationship that you already have. And protecting it can be harder than you think. – Tak Ye Jin

But what if you lose out an opportunity while protecting that relationship? – Baek Seung Chan

Receiving a confession, it's like having a ball tossed to me. What do I do with this now? Do I throw it back or do I just receive it? – Tak Ye Jin

When I said I don't want you to leave, all you have to do is take my word for what it is. – Ra Joon Mo

You're more than deserving of love and you're easy to love, but you don't think you are. You're wrong. Whatever you think of yourself, you're much better than that. – Ra Joon Mo

Because you're in my life, I'm really happy. – Tak Ye Jin

I am a PD after all and this is my first program. I really don't want it to go down like this. I'd like the ratings to go up somehow. How do I get more people to watch this program? I don't really know. Even getting one person to look at me isn't easy. Getting all those people to look at us, getting ratings, is sort of like winning over a person's heart. – Baek Seung Chan

When you watch games, they have things like a power index. That's what ratings are like. A PD with low ratings has his power index hitting rock bottom. Once that PD's power index hits bottom, everyone below him gets hit like dominoes. – Ra Joon Mo

In an attempt to get new customers, they lose all their current ones. – Ra Joon Mo

She's like a rating you can only dream of. – Baek Seung Chan

Let go of the one you feel most sorry towards. – Da Jung

I'm sad that I don't have any excuses to be with you now. – Baek Seung Chan

I'm so lucky to have a wonderful guy like you pursue me. I felt like I was a person of great value. – Tak Ye Jin

Wherever there is success, hardship and sacrifice follow. – Cindy

Let's say we did give it a shot but the outcome was bad. She would know that we tried at least, that our intentions were good and that we wanted to produce a good outcome. Don't you think that would be a huge comfort to her? – Baek Seung Chan

I'll take the fall and I'll roam around until I'm back on my feet again. – Ra Joon Mo

11 The Viewers' Understanding. It can't always be gained even if you make an effort, but you still have to try.

If my life is a show of some sort and I'm the protagonist of that show, if so I would like to restart the shoot. – Baek Seung Chan

If someone I don't like is upset at me, then I can do whatever about it. But if someone I like is disappointed in me and gets angry at me, then that's something to be afraid of, don't you think? – Cindy's Manager

No variety show ends with applause. Variety shows only end in ruin. Dramas are already pre-determined at 16 or 50 episodes. So if things go well, it ends in a big celebration with applause, happy ending. But variety's not like that. If people clap, you just keep going. But they won't clap for you forever. Someday, they will get sick of you. That's when your end has come. That's why it's hard to have a good end. The aftertaste is somewhat bitter and the ending is sad. – Ra Joon Mo

The method was wrong, but I know you loved me. – Cindy

Let's do it today or give up. Just do it tomorrow or run away. – Baek Seung Chan

12 Understanding Long Running Programs. Don't forget the beginning.

Even though it was hard and annoying, I followed you. But even while I wasted half of my life chasing you, I didn't know that following you wasn't a habit. It was love. – Ra Joon Mo
