Are you an actor who wants

to learn some stunts?

Or do you want to be a stuntman?

We'd like to be clear.

I'm here to become a stuntman.

His kicks were mediocre but...

Accepted on good looks alone!

How humane

their audition process is.

But there was a guy accepted

without even making a single kick.

Oh, that guy!

I have no clue now

why we picked him.

There was nothing

special about him.

His kicks were not that great

and he wasn't

really skilled either...

Right!

There was that one thing.

He had a unique way of thinking

and looking at things.

And... he had a scary look

in his eyes.

Hey, stop glaring at us...

It's spooky

you glaring like that.

I uh... just got

out of the army.

So I guess

I'm still in that mode.

Are there any sports you can do?

Can you show us?

I didn't do

a particular sport...

But I was told in the army that

I'm pretty good at soccer.

And um...

My childhood dream was to be

a soccer player by the way...

I know if I work hard,

I can be better than anyone.

My dream is to become

an action actorldirector

like Stephen Chow

so I must pass this audition.

We happened to run into

Byung-gil's army buddy

returning from

reserve forces training.

Sang-hyuk YOON

Byung-gil's army buddy

On one of my leaves, I met Byung-gil.

He said he made a film or something.

At first,

I didn't believe him.

There are lots of idiots in the army.

No matter how dumb or weird,

they all brag about how great

they were on the outside.

I thought he was one of them...

Then I saw his film...

Standing on something sword edge?

I give it

at least 4 out of 5 stars.

And I'm a real stingy critic.

But the thing is... His face...

His face was... It was all wrong.

As a director,

he's got talent, loads.

But that's it.

He's all talent and no looks.

Maybe in about 40 years,

when we're all old men,

when actor Dong-Kun Jang

gets old and

Byung-gil gets old,

it'll be the same.

Even Dong-Kun Jang,

when he's 70,

his good looks will sour.

Byung-gil's looks are

already sour and will stay so.

They'd finally be equal.

Maybe when he's 70,

Byung-gil can be

a character actor

like Jack Nicholson.

That's the most

we can hope for him.

He shouldn't act

while he's young...

Byung-gil chose the wrong path.

He needs to just direct...

If Sung-il

had played the lead...

I mean, his look is more

commercial than Byung-gil so...

If Byung-gil hadn't played the lead

in Standing on the Edge of a Sword...

Even I'd be a better...

I think it best if Byung-gil

continues to just direct.

Not just because of his looks...

Not because of that... I think

directing is a good fit for him.

Swayed by their earnest advice,

Byung-gil firmly vows to only
