[SBS recording studio]
Hello, I'm Jo Se Ho.
These days thanks to your appreciation they call me Great Se Ho, a rising hero...
- If not a rising hero-- - We'll start recording.
We'll start recording.
You're going to start? Okay. Sorry.
Wow, really?
Last week, the spicy jjamppong took us all by surprise!
It's so spicy.
I thought I was going to pass out.
We had a bet with the owner, and because we ate it, spicy broth and all
the restaurant gave away a lot of free jjamppong during the next week.
A man of his word!
[Where's the next line?]
Ah, right.
That's right. My parents came to visit.
I think they especially grew close to Nana.
Wait, hold on. Why do I keep laughing?
Okay.
What will happen today?
[Sniff, sniff.]
Everyone, my voice sounds a little raspy, doesn't it?
I can't really change it right now, though.
I hope you understand.
I will work hard.
A very special star visits our house!
Who is this tough and sexy star?
Happier together than alone, this is our 10th story.
Let's watch it together right now!
[Episode 10]
[Youth Doesn't Come Again.]
What should we eat for dinner?
Oh, yeah, lunch was--
There's a lot of octopus left.
- Ah, so something with octopus. - Yeah.
[The giant octopus Se Ho's parents brought]
- Wow, it's moving. - Where?
Wow!
How do you handle this, Mom?
Yeah, let's eat what's around.
- Yeah. - How about we have a contest?
What kind of contest?
A cooking contest.
Oh, because we have a lot of octopus! That's a good idea.
So we cook with the octopus--
Same ingredient, different taste!
If it's not a real recipe, then just make one up.
- You should do whatever you want. - Uh huh.
Okay, whatever we want.
Then exclude me and Sora to make it a three vs three contest.
- Three against three? - Yeah, three against three.
There are six people.
Then Soo Hyun and Bom should do rock, paper, scissors
and choose a team member, whoever you think will do best.
Soo Hyun's team, Bom's team.
Split it up that way.
- You choose first, then, Bom. - Really?
[Who will cook the best?]
Se Ho, are you a good cook?
Me?
Are you a good cook?
Me?
He enjoys cooking a lot.
Then I choose you.
Me? Okay.
Soo Hyun's turn.
What should I do?
She did say that she used to work at a pasta restaurant.
Ga Yeon!
- I didn't know! - Ga Yeon!
I'll do well!
Kang Jun!
I choose Min Woo.
My work experience...
[How much did I do again?]
Four years.
Even after I debuted last year, I was still working because things were tough.
When someone recognized me I would say, 'Yes, I'm him, please come again soon.'
If you don't have spending money, you have to get a part-time job.
That's what I think.
[And so the octopus cook-off begins]
I'll judge very objectively by taste only.
Not only taste, but presentation.
[Any dish involving octopus is okay.]
If you can't taste the octopus, it's not an octopus dish.
Why are you doing that?
Hey!
I think this will be good!
Fresh and original.
Yum!
- Hey, you can't... - No, we're not, what are you saying?
A refined taste.
The most important part are the noodles.
How well it's cooked, and how flavorful it tastes.
That's what's important.
What do you think?
Which dish will win?
'Roommate' Chef: Korea
'Hong Gil Dong and The Two Workers' enter.
[Team name meaning: Hong Soo Hyun's nickname 'Hong Gil Dong']
[Min Woo, and Ga Yeon who have lots of experience working part-time.]
You've here to check the ingredients first, right?
[We haven't even chosen a recipe yet!]
Ga Yeon, you can just cook what you did at your old job.
I only know how to make pasta, though.
That's okay too.
You can only use the ingredients we already have.
Can you make something with octopus and Chinese cabbage?
Like a beef brisket cabbage roll.
No, wait. Beef Brisket - what is it? There's something like that.
You think of the octopus as the meat and...
Oh! Beef brisket cabbage salad.
Use this recipe on the octopus.
I think this will be good!
- This. - Okay.
I want to make an octopus pasta, but there aren't any noodles?
There aren't.
Octopus pasta sounds good too.
Onion, salt, black pepper.
- Vinegar, plum... - We have noodles!
We do? Then do you want to make pasta?
Instead of this?
But... we don't know which one will taste better.
Ga Yeon, you know how to make pasta.
Well, I do want to try this.
Then let's do it.
I'll try it, and if it's not good we'll throw it out.
Then should we not make the cabbage?
- No, no. - Make the cabbage too!
Okay. Then let's get the ingredients ready first.
At the same time, our team was having trouble even deciding the dish.
Pour olive oil and lemon juice...
It was so delicious, because...
- Because the octopus... - The way you said it was funny.
Because if you can't taste the octopus, it's not an octopus dish.
Then it's just fried rice.
But how many people know it?
What?
The real taste of octopus.
There's one right in front of you.
Oh, right.
The South Korean restaurant industry is trying to recruit this man.
[Sucking up to the judge, Mama Shin]
Should we do this? I'm good at pasta.
We need noodles.
We do.
Why don't you check what's in the kitchen?
[It's decided! Pasta!]
[And the reason he's laughing?]
[Team 'We Want To Become Octopus Tentacles' enters!]
[Team name meaning: Bom made it up, so we have no clue...]
Guys, we can't spend too much time on this.
Let's say you have to finish by nine o'clock.
It's eight o'clock now. One hour!
- One hour? - Yeah, an hour.
[Pasta?]
Hey.
Are you guys making pasta?
We're making pasta too!
Are you guys just making pasta?
Is there any kimchi?
Just pasta?
Something else too?
Are you cooking just pasta?
We're thinking about it.
[Frustrated.]
What are you making? How many things are you making?
I don't know.
Come on!
Okay, let's start.
Ga Yeon, are you a good cook?
- Oh, no. - Looks like you're good.
You're tasting it with your hands.
When you use your hands, that means you're good.
About the pasta... who's the team leader?
- Me. - Hong. Hong Gil Dong.
What kind of pasta sauce are you using? Just tell us that.
Oil.
- Seriously, oil? - But wait!
Either of us can win just by taste, even if they're both oil.
Let's switch to tomato sauce.
Why not just go with a pasta contest.
Then are we just doing pasta?
I think we should do both.
You think we should?
So our entry will have more of an impact.
Okay. As an appetizer.
Yeah, an appetizer!
This is going to be fun!
- You can do it well, right? - Yes, I'll do my best!
- Please prepare the cutting board. - Okay, got it.
Wow. Are we eating gourmet dishes now?
Where's the minced garlic?
Minced garlic? It's right here.
Vinegar and sesame seeds!
Over here.
We need raw garlic.
- Raw garlic? - Yes. Is there any?
The raw garlic is right here.
Thank you!
As expected, the god of the kitchen, Mama Shin!
[Shin Sung Woo's brain structure]
[Tomorrow's menu, dinner menu, breakfast menu, lunch menu...]
A great chance to earn Mama Shin's respect!
Putting away plates and cleaning up will count towards judging too.
To find an heir to his kitchen!
Who will win the octopus cook-off?
What's this onion for?
- That's mine. - It was there.
- Where? - There.
- That's mine. - Soo Hyun grabbed it.
There's more in the fridge.
We have to share the onion.
[I don't want to.]
I need all of it.
[A brisk meeting.]
If we put the kimchi in the olive oil, it'll taste great.
- Really? - Yes, really.
Do we have white wine?
[Still studying the recipe.]
Yes. We have it.
No, wait.
We still have the broth from the samgyetang.
Ah!
[Samgyetang broth?]
[What was left over from breakfast?]
Making the sauce with samgyetang broth - isn't this a great idea?
[He saw?]
Wow. Amazing.
Why don't you put in some ramen soup powder?
If you're going to do it this way.
We're going to use some minced garlic too.
[They taste the chicken broth they used to make the sauce.]
[Blech!]
[Something you want to spit out as soon as you taste it.]
- This is the right amount, right? - Yes.
If we mix this in, it'll be salty.
But it's too greasy.
It's a little weird.
- It's weird? - It tastes too greasy.
It's too salty.
Don't you think it needs some sugar?
Hey, try it again. It tastes fine to me.
It's too salty.
Why is he doing this?
[Meanwhile, the 'Hong Gil Dong and the Two Workers' team...]
[How's the sauce?]
- Yum! - Yum!
It's good!
[They're off to a good start.]
[Team 'Octopus Tentacles' officially begins cooking.]
[Put in butter]
[garlic]
[and the octopus.]
No putting back in food that's fallen out!
Yes, sir!
You may not put in food that's fallen out.
- It's going to burn. - Huh?
I'm not too sure about it, so I'll try it first.
[Open wide!]
Good, right?
Not bad!
It's good, right?
Try the scallion.
What's this?
[Se Ho takes something else out.]
[Time for the wine]
Put a little wine in.
[Wine?]
[Blub blub.]
- That's too much. - You poured too much!
It's not a soup!
You put too much in!
This is a wine stew right now!
It's not, smell it.
- It's fine. - No, it smells a little like alcohol!
It'll evaporate.
Wow, we're almost done.
I'm almost finished so taste how it is for me.
This is serious. It tastes like black pepper.
It tastes like black pepper.
Let's put something else in. We're in trouble.
This has seasoning in it. Let's just put in this.
Octopus soft tofu stew.
That? Good idea.
Put in three of these.
- We messed that up anyway. - Okay.
Might as well put this in too.
[Soft tofu stew sauce in the pasta sauce?]
It smells good.
Hey, you guys can't--
No, it's not, what are you saying?
We had to take drastic measures.
Oh, it's okay.
- Really? - Is this salt?
Yes.
- Is it good? - Want to try it?
Wait, you're not on our team!
Don't be like that, we share a room.
[How will Ga Yeon's pasta taste?]
Can we try it?
Not you, Se Ho!
Is it good?
[I'm curious.]
- It's a million times better than ours. - Seriously?
It's okay?
- How did you make it? - This?
- Good, right? - It's a secret!
Okay, Ga Yeon, I'll just try a little bit.
You can try it later.
[The forgotten octopus wine stew...]
[Please pay attention to me!]
We're finished with our dish!
- Oh, really? - Yes.
Now we'll just decorate it nicely.
Pour it here.
Pasta's the only thing I can make.
[Today the fighter wields a knife in her hands!]
[With the knowledge gained from working at an Italian restaurant!]
I can tell you worked at a restaurant.
Ga Yeon's octopus pasta, mixed in nicely with an olive oil sauce.
How sleek!
[Meanwhile, the 'Octopus Tentacle' team?]
[Blech!]
- Too salty! - Hey!
- I think we need to put some water in.
- Really? - Yes. Man, we're in trouble.
Se Ho, I think it'll be fine if we put some water in.
Put the water in.
Will our dish be okay like this?
[Can they save it?]
[Attempting to fix it with water.]
[Is it ready now?]
Hey, it's ready. Try it.
- Me too. - Try it.
It kind of looks like squid stew.
Yeah, I put some in.
This is it.
[It's good but...something's missing.]
[Huh? Grated cheese?]
Hey, Min Woo!
[The judges start laughing.]
- Min Woo... - Do you really need it in that?
Yeah.
I think it'll be good.
- We're supposed to put this in oil. - Should I try putting it in?
Sure. Go try it.
I think it'll be better if we put this in.
Should we try putting just a little?
We have to put some dairy in.
- Is it cheese? - Yeah.
- We have no milk. - How can you put cheese in soft tofu stew?
They have a special taste to their dish, we don't.
Things keep going in yours.
- What is this? - Cheese! We put in cheese earlier!
- It's fine. - It bitter now!
Don't you think this needs olive oil?
It's good.
Sesame seed oil?
It's good.
- Tomato sauce? - Put it in.
The tomato sauce was dropped in too.
Do it before Kang Jun sees.
[Kang Jung is on the phone.]
Why did you put in tomato sauce?
I knew you wouldn't like it so I rushed to put it in.
These ingredients don't go well together!
- This will be better. - Why do you guys keep putting things in?
Should we put this in, should we put that in.
In order to make it taste good...
- Really? - Yes.
There's a little too much water.
The water isn't the problem.
Then what is?
- This tastes like Korean tomato sauce. - It's fusion! Fusion!
Look at this. What about this?
- It's good. - It's good?
He says it's good, it's good!
It's good!
Try it. It's fusion.
It was my idea! I said we should put the tomato sauce in.
- I think we can win with this. - The tomato's mine. Wait a minute.
- Really? - The tomato's mine.
We can win.
[They eat and eat in wonder.]
We won.
[Wow, it's really good!]
We're finished!
The balance of East and West has been refined through taste.
We were certain we had a great chance at succeeding.
Should we make dessert too? Dessert?
Dessert?
Like fruit or something?
- Octopus dessert? - Watermelon.
Watermelon?
Dessert? Watermelon?
Ten minutes left now.
There's lots of time.
I'm content seeing everyone working so hard in the kitchen.
Why do I feel so happy?
You used to do it all alone...
Exactly.
Looking at them working hard...
Cut some for me too.
Let's do it honestly.
Even cooking unfamiliar dishes is fun when you do it together!
A tasty, splendid, and plentiful table is set!
Finally, the moment of the decision!
- Good work. - Good work.
Present yourselves confidently.
[Ding dong.]
Right on time, my roommate Dong Wook arrived.
- Hello! - Hello.
- You look so tired! - I'm back.
Come eat, come eat.
- You're so lifeless. - I'm exhausted.
Hurry up and come eat.
- There's amazing pasta. - Hello!
Dong Wook, we're...
- Hello! - Dong Wook, hi.
We're having a cooking contest right now.
I feel so lucky.
- Then I'll put down my backpack. - Dong Wook is a judge too!
- You have to be a judge! - Sit!
- Oh, we eat and judge it? - Yeah.
- It's a contest? - It is.
Okay!
I will be very objective and picky.
Now we'll begin the judging.
The dish's name, the ingredients
where you've put emphasis, and the presentation.
These will be the criteria for judging. Which team will start?
- We will go first. - You have to decide the name.
This one's name is 'Mr. Octo-Monster.'
And this one is 'Miss Carpaccio Octopus.'
We were going to set them up on a date.
Because Mr. Octo-Monster is so oily, we were wondering what kind of lady
would like him. But then we found this very refreshing lady right here.
So we thought these two would be a good match.
Try it and see if you agree.
So these two have been set up?
[How will the dishes taste together?]
Now team 'I Want To Become An Octopus Tentacle!'
'I Want To Become An Octopus Tentacle!'
- I'll go first. - No, he should.
Let's stand up.
- Is there a divide in the team? - No!
- We're fine, aren't we? - Of course!
Korea.
Anyone can see that I'm hot...
Stop.
Ma n'atu sole, cchiÃ¹ bello, oje ne'.
- O sole mio... - Stop.
These two countries have come together.
Yes, they have.
[Poke, poke.]
[Why are you poking?]
[They really aren't in sync...]
Our dish's name is 'The Korea-Italy Love Story.'
As you can see, there's pineapple.
And then we have some soft tofu stew mixed in...
Soft tofu stew?
[Soft tofu stew pasta?]
- I'll do it. - I apologize.
This is the essence of fusion.
We were thinking of how use the octopus in a fresh, new way.
It's representative of Korea, the soft tofu stew.
No, the soft tofu stew seasoning
and tomato sauce, together.
We put the two together and it was so unexpectedly good.
Tomato sauce and soft tofu stew?
Tomato sauce and the taste of soft tofu stew broth.
You're talking about the packets that were in the fridge, right?
- Yes, those. - We put just a teensy bit in.
Rather than trying on purpose to use...
- What are you doing? - It's too salty.
- Not yet! - That's not ours.
So we put those in together as a fusion.
Korea and Italy joining hands.
How are you supposed to eat this whole thing?
[Sorry...]
That's it.
Then why don't we try 'Octopus Tentacles' first?
'We Want To Become Octopus Tentacles'?
Please give me a plate too.
The thought of finding out how we did made me so nervous.
[Taste testing for 'We Want To Become Octopus Tentacles.']
Just tell us how it tastes.
Is it good?
[Nervously they listen for reactions.]
It's absolutely delicious. Exactly my style.
[Wahoo!]
Ma n'atu sole...
- It's not decided yet. - Huh?
- It's not decided yet. - Yes, of course.
Okay, now this team.
[Taste testing for 'Hong Gil Dong and the Two Workers.']
- Mix it up and eat it. - Mix it?
But it's gone cold now...
[Because they finished first, their food has gone cold.]
[First the octopus platter.]
- Have you made pasta before? - Yes, I used to work at a pasta place...
[Hmm...]
Can I have some more, Min Woo?
If I eat it on this, won't it get mixed up?
[How...how is it?]
Do you like it?
It's totally fresh.
Now the pasta too.
Now we'll announce the results.
[The judges deliberate quite seriously.]
[Over here, just one hungry man.]
I'll give my opinion first.
The dish that 'Hong Gil Dong and the Two Workers' made is very creative.
But there was too much olive oil.
So it wasn't very refreshing.
But it was very creative and nice.
And in my opinion the most important part of a pasta dish are the noodles.
How well it's cooked, how well the flavor has stuck to it.
That's what's important.
I think you can taste the octopus well enough
and even though it's cooled off, the noodles chew nicely and are well-cooked.
The other team is very creative too, but it feels like it was rushed.
And the noodles are a minute or two overcooked.
- Overcooked? - Yes.
Even though it's fresher than the other dish, the noodles are mushier.
Personally, I pick 'Hong Gil Dong and The Two Workers.'
What about the other judge?
Please announce your decision.
[Her opinion will decide the winner!]
[High tension]
[Suddenly a hand moves on its own.]
[Dong Wook... you must have been really hungry...]
The judges are talking.
I understand you're hungry, but...
The judges are conferring.
Who are you? Why have you come here to eat?
I will just eat my meal.
So, let's see...
'We Want To Become Octopus Tentacles'...
You presented your food so beautifully.
The heart-shaped bread?
I liked the colors.
The red and the pineapple's orange.
- And the blue plate. - Yes.
And the vanilla color of the bread.
They were all very aesthetically pleasing.
I wanted to give it a high grade before I even tasted it.
But still...
Looking at it overall...
[Nom nom nom...]
I think they tried harder.
Who, us? We tried really hard.
The match-up of the carpaccio and the watermelon.
'Hong Gil Dong!'
[Bitter...]
There will be an extra opinion from Lee Dong Wook now.
I just feel grateful to eat a big meal like this.
I prefer oil pastas in general.
And this tomato pasta, I'm sorry, but it tastes like every other pasta I've had.
But it's not like other pasta, it has soft tofu stew seasoning in it.
I can't really taste it.
The oil pasta can be a little greasy
but the cabbage salad counters it very well.
So the two dishes go well together.
That's why I choose...the tomato team!
[Don't lose confidence, 'Octopus Tentacles!']
- Okay, do the dishes! - Okay!
- Thanks for the meal! - Thank you!
[The octopus cook-off went by in a flash...]
[and with the dishes done in a flash too, clean-up is over...]
I'll do it.
You're working hard.
If you can't cook, you should at least do the dishes.
It's not true. We did well.
Nah.
Cooking was enjoyable.
It was fun.
Fun because you were here.
Next time there's a chance, let's be on this same team...
Kang Jun and I get along when we're cooking.
- Really? - Yeah. And you too.
Good.
- I invited a guest later. - Really?
Someone I'm very close to.
He's really curious about our show.
So he's supposed to come for dinner.
Is it an actor?
Yes, he is.
- And famous? - Yes, famous.
Really? Is his last name Kim?
I can't tell.
Lee Jin Wook?
Ah, it must be Jin Wook!
[Really?]
No, it's someone older than me.
- Is he a Hallyu star? - Huh?
- Of course. - Really?
Of course.
If I were to give you a hint, it would be that he's the epitome of tough and sexy.
Epitome of tough and sexy, and he's a male actor. That's it.
Ui Ri?
I thought of him too - Kim Bo Sung.
Well, you'll see him tonight. Don't get nervous.
He's very generous.
[Who is it?]
He's good to those younger than him.
So he's older?
Yes, he's older than me.
What does he like? Should we prepare something?
No, I'll take care of that.
Dong Wook, Sora, Kang Jun and Ga Yeon go to the grocery store.
They're buying ingredients for a spicy seafood stew.
We need shrimp, some dried squid, and blue crab.
Enough for a spicy seafood stew.
- Ah, okay. - Oh, it's right there.
I think the stew will be good with this.
They said there's a florist across the street. Let's buy some flowers.
Bring him a bouquet of flowers.
Would he like flowers?
It's just a sign of respect to the guest.
But do you even know who the guest is? You're so eager.
It's not Jung Woo Sung?
[Jung Woo Sung...]
Jung Woo Sung? It's not...
It's not Jung Woo Sung?
Are you going through all this trouble because you think it's Jung Woo Sung?
Why else would I come all the way here?
The epitome of tough and sexy.
The epitome of tough and sexy, and a male actor.
I have to go to the store.
Me!
Why would you decide it was him all by yourself? It's not.
He's older, he's sexy...
The epitome of tough and sexy.
[Then again...he's exactly tough and sexy.]
It seems like you just personally like him.
No, that's not it.
Then who's coming?
You'll see later.
Who could it be?
It's no fun if I tell you now.
Is he cooler than Jung Woo Sung?
Of course!
[Maybe a martial artist?]
This man really swept an entire generation.
[An entire generation...?]
He's a star from past, isn't he?
Because you said 'generation.'
No, he's not!
No, he's just an amazing man.
- He's older than you? - Yeah, older than me.
- Not your teacher? - No!
Why would it be a teacher?
[It's going to be Jung Woo Sung.]
At home, we decided to wash the winter blankets.
[They collect the blankets they've been using since the start]
[and take them out to the sunny yard.]
[Remembering to bring detergent!]
Please bring them over here.
Whites here, colors here.
Laundry and more laundry?
Darks...
Wait a minute.
[Huh? Is something wrong?]
Whose room did this come from?
Bom's room.
What is it?
You see this cover? You can't wash the stuff that's inside of it.
[The basics of washing blankets!]
- So we have to take them all off, right? - Yeah.
Oh, this one doesn't have one.
I'm sure it does.
This?
It doesn't!
I'm sure it does.
[It really doesn't...]
[Se Ho heads out to the yard too.]
[While Mama Shin takes off the covers]
[Soo Hyun checks the hose.]
Oh, that surprised me.
[Min Woo is finished getting ready for the washing too.]
10 at a time.
[They're about to put in the detergent...]
[Glancing at Mama Shin.]
Tell me when to stop.
Tell me to stop!
Enough?
No, put another cup in.
More? So much?
We can pour some out later, one more scoop?
Should we?
Two more should do it.
Oh, two scoops?
Look at this.
This is a cover.
Oh no!
Soo Hyun, have you ever washed blankets?
You lived with your mom!
I'm good at using the washing machine.
Oh, you know how to do that?
We didn't have a yard like this, so we couldn't hand wash laundry.
Sure, it's good enough if they know how to use a washing machine.
I thought you wouldn't even know how to work one.
I've never washed blankets like this.
Min Woo's good at it.
You have to first mix in the detergent.
I wanted to do it like that, but the blankets were already in.
If it weren't for Sung Woo, I would have just put this blanket in.
You didn't even take the cover off?
- No, it's not that! - You need lessons on married life!
This one didn't have a zipper!
Miss Soo Hyun, you need lessons on married life.
Okay, I'll take lessons.
Wait a minute - why am I getting so red?
I'm overwhelmed.
In our house they have zippers and I was looking for one but it didn't have one.
Because it wasn't like what I have at home I think I briefly forgot about the covers.
But the feet...
You have to wash your feet.
People with athlete's foot shouldn't step on the laundry.
Yeah, Se Ho--
I don't have athlete's foot!
Then show us, Se Ho.
[Really?]
- Sung Woo, it's not athlete's foot! - Go wash your feet!
- It's not athlete's foot! - You kept scratching your foot right here.
Huh?
Se Ho has athlete's foot on just one foot.
So he's always fidgeting with just that one foot.
[And we even have video evidence of that...]
[Should I wash my feet?]
The grass...
- Is it nice? - Yeah, it's nice and cold.
Spray me too.
Oh, that's cold!
So cold!
I've hung clothes out to dry before, but this is my first time stepping.
Really?
[As expected, blankets should be washed..]
[like an actress in a commercial would...]
[But the reality is...]
[Wobble, wobble.]
It doesn't feel the same.
Right now I should be dancing delicately.
[Tsk...]
Shouldn't we be doing things like this?
Soo Hyun...
[It's cold!]
[How fun!]
Okay, start!
[If you want to make it feel more like a commercial...]
[Wolf whistle!]
[Is it like a commercial now?]
Hey, stop it, stop it!
Hey!
They usually do this kind of thing on a rooftop house.
Should I try it too?
You and Soo Hyun do it in the same tub.
I can do it fine by myself.
Still, just try it.
[Asking to step on the blankets together!]
Yeah, do it like that!
Ask her, 'Would you like to do laundry together?'
- I feel really shy doing it together. - Why?
- It just is. - Just think of it as acting.
Okay, Min Woo, I'll do it by myself like this.
Say, 'Would you like to do laundry together?'
- And then step in. - No thanks!
- Sorry, sorry! - Try it!
Okay, okay.
Then I'll just be washing it by myself like this.
[Laundry 101]
Oh, washing these blankets is so tiring!
I'm so tired.
[Just then, someone approaches her]
['Excuse me...']
['Yes?']
Would it be okay if we did laundry together?
Do you want to step in?
[Getting closer, step by step.]
How old are you?
Why are you asking my age?
[He chose the wrong pick-up line...]
You must enjoy doing laundry.
Yes, I really enjoy it.
I always meet women here.
[Suddenly, it transforms into a club!]
I think you knew and that's why you're here...
- Oh, this is that place? - Yes.
This is my first time here.
[First, some enthusiastic dancing!]
Honey!
Who the hell are you?
Who are you?
I...work here.
That's what they always say.
[Continuing with the second improvised scene...]
It's the music from 'Country Diary.'
Maw, I'm almost done with the laundry!
Whew, I'm hankering for something to eat.
Here comes the snack!
What are y'all so late for? I'm so hungry.
Nana, why do you have your socks on?
Wow, I've really only seen this on TV.
I'll put on something that fits you.
Let down your hair, let down your hair!
[Ack!]
[A catastrophic ending to some dramatic head-banging.]
Se Ho, I fell!
My butt!
You're a mess!
Look at my butt.
Why are you putting on a song like this?
I have a song that's perfect for us.
- Really? Come in, Se Ho! - I will.
I'll go in very naturally.
Oh, what hard work.
A strange person moved in next door. Look, honey.
Hello! We're a newlywed couple moving in next door to you.
Honey, hurry up and get in!
- Mister, you must have a lot of money! - What are you talking about?
- How did the two of you end up married? - It was love!
He was so persistent.
I felt kind of empty when he was gone.
Spin around once.
Seems like a good match!
[But then--]
[Ack!]
[Wife Nana is lost in her dancing.]
I think you should help your husband up.
It was an interesting feeling, washing the blankets together.
I kind of had a fantasy about doing laundry like that.
But it was very different from what I pictured.
We're finished with the laundry, but we still have to wash ourselves.
Just me?
You go first.
It'll be a before picture.
I'll take your before picture.
I don't have a nice body.
Suck in your stomach.
Oh my.
You surprised me.
My body's a mess.
Let's think of it as washing a car.
[Soo Hyun is appointed to spray down Se Ho's back]
Put your head down.
Hurry up and do it.
Go forward.
Move a little forward.
- This is my first time doing this. - First time, really?
I've had no reason to do it.
You're spraying him like he's not a person, but like he's some kind of object...
It really looks like you're washing a car.
Refreshing, right?
Your head too?
[Nice and cool.]
This is fun.
No, this is the before, don't suck in. Straighten your back.
- Stick your stomach out. - Straighten your shoulders.
- Stick it out. - That's right.
Smile!
No, no, sad face!
Okay.
Min Woo's turn!
You're supposed to do this only after you've got a fit body.
If I were you, I'd do it.
[Boldly taking off his clothes.]
[Thud, thud, thud.]
[Ooh!]
It's nice!
Let me see too!
Nice!
Pull up your pants.
You're sexy!
Mine won't be censored, will it?
That might be better for you.
[This really might be better...]
We're going to spray your armpits!
[Just focusing on the armpits?]
- Do his head. - His head? Coming up!
Wow, how refreshing.
Shake the water off.
Do it suavely.
[So suave!]
You look like a puppy.
I think we can do the rest like this.
Now we just have to rinse it once more.
[With perfect unity, they squeeze out the water!]
Okay, go! Spin!
[Spinning, spinning, and spinning]
[Hong Soo Hyun tries her hand at squeezing the laundry too!]
It's pretty and white.
[Ah, so refreshing!]
[Hanging the blankets on the clothesline.]
This is the best!
[Their first blanket washing, accomplished by working together.]
You've all done a good job.
Laundry...finished!
[It can't get more refreshing than this.]
[The shopping team has returned.]
For dinner, a dish the guest likes - spicy seafood stew!
Cook the broth with white radish, anchovies, and kelp.
Even adding in fresh seafood!
You're doing so well that it's surprising even us!
[But that's not all in order to welcome the guest!]
[Colorful balloons]
[and practicing for a special performance.]
- Like this? - I think we should just hold them up.
Preparations to welcome a very special star... Complete!
[Ready to welcome the guest!]
[Today's special guest]
He's here!
Bom, Bom!
- Yes? - Bom, hurry up!
Hurry, hurry!
Hello?
Who is it?
- Who is it? - I don't know either.
Who is it?
Who is it that we're doing all this for?
Ga Yeon, get the flowers!
Everyone say, 'Welcome!' and shoot these when he comes in.
- I'll go out and meet him. - Lead him down the red carpet.
- Does this make a lot of noise? - No, just a little 'pop!'
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
'Welcome!'
Welcome!
We sincerely welcome you to our home!
[Lee Dong Wook's special guest...]
Welcome, Lee Joong Goo.
Lee Joong Goo? Why, you little--
Did you lay out paper here?
It's a red carpet.
Don't do it if you don't have one.
[More like a red card than a red carpet.]
- 'We welcome you?' - Yes, 'We welcome you.'
We welcome you into our home!
Wouldn't this scare him?
No -
- He's here! - Welcome!
[Surprised.]
Welcome!
We sincerely welcome you into our home!
Oh, wow.
Tonight's guest - Lee Deok Hwa!
Great to see you all!
[Feeling good thanks to the warm welcome.]
Hello!
Shin Sung Woo hasn't gotten married yet?
No, not yet.
Great to see you.
You don't have time to get married because you're living here!
- Great to meet you. - I'm Nana.
You're handsome.
- Hello. - Great to meet you. I'm a fan.
- Well, I see you all the time. - Yes.
I'm Park Min Woo.
He's handsome too.
Can I sit here?
Yes, sit there for a bit. We're making dinner right now.
- Dinner? - Yes.
You didn't need to do that.
But you should eat.
Wow.
Could we bring him a refreshment?
Do I call him my 'senior' or my 'teacher'?
- Teacher, teacher. - But I'm a singer.
I'll ask him.
She was wondering about which title to use with you.
- Me? Call me what's comfortable. - Because I'm a singer...
My senior?
- That's fine too. - Older brother?
Older brother? Even better.
- Older brother? - Yes, an elderly brother.
Yes, brother.
[Bom and Deok Hwa are brother and sister from now on?]
What do you think of our house?
- This house is very nice. - Isn't it?
This area is the old Gangnam.
This neighborhood was the best.
This house is nice.
I'll start with the first floor.
Very nice.
This is the exercise area.
Now let's go upstairs.
- There's more to see upstairs. - Is that so?
I'm going to visit Hong Soo Hyun's room too.
You should.
Dong Wook said someone a little older was coming to visit, so...
He even calls me Lee Joong Goo and 'dear.'
Things like that.
I didn't know how else to refer to you.
Wow, very nice.
This living room is perfect.
This is the room Sora, Bom, and Ga Yeon use.
Wow, how nice.
I'll use the one in the middle.
The women can use the ones at the ends.
- As my protectors. - No, that won't work.
Not even as my protectors?
No.
This is the room Se Ho, the cabbage and I, use.
- It's a little messy. - It's very cabbage-esque.
So you're not getting married, but you're practicing married living?
And last...
Last we'll see the room Hong Soo Hyun and Nana use.
- This one? - Yes.
- You even hung up pictures! - Yes, what do you think?
Their room is nice because it has a balcony.
It's nice.
Very nice.
So are you going to buy the house or not?
If you give me a good price...
- Okay. - Buy it today.
Soo Hyun's room is very nice.
It's nicely decorated.
Whoever thought of the idea for this show, it does seem like it's fun.
- Why, is my hair strange? - No, no.
Are you comfortable?
There's a camera behind that.
- Camera where? - You shouldn't have told him.
[You can't see the camera behind the mirror, can you?]
It's strange. First my hair fell out and now my eyebrows are falling out.
[And so the house tour ends...]
The last time we worked together was 'History', right?
Yes, 'History of a Salaryman.'
Park Bom!
Come here, come here!
You wanted to see him, come here!
Why would she have wanted to see him?
These guys are really good at singing, aren't they?
Thank you.
Not only good singers, but they have individuality.
That, and they're pretty.
I mean, I'm not pretty, but...
Sit here and talk for a second, I'll be right back.
I'm a fan of yours.
- Really? It's an honor! - Of course!
There are a lot of groups, but not a lot like yours!
You heard him, right?
It's an honor.
May I take a picture?
Take one.
I want to send it to our manager.
Let's take it together!
- Come here. - The three of us?
I don't think all three of us fit.
Here, here.
Come a little closer.
My hand is... what do I call this?
- Ready, right? - Yes.
- Press this? - No, press this here.
One, two, three.
Nice!
You can't see my eyes.
[Together with the guest of 'Roommate', Deok Hwa...]
I thought if I sent this to my manager, he'd want to come by too.
Send it to me.
Send it to me too, Bom!
- Okay. - Send it, okay?1
- Send it now. - How?
Like that.
What?
I don't know what to write.
'My teacher, Deok Hwa...'
'My older brother, Deok Hwa?'
I'm friends with your manager.
- Really? - That's right!
- Oh, really. - Put, 'My older brother, Deok Hwa.'
You're at SM, right?
Dun dun dun!
- I'm at YG. - Oh, YG. I made a mistake.
I'm friends with Soo Man.
Then maybe you'll become friends with our manager now...
I saw your manager many times back in the day!
- Seo Tae Ji and the boys... - Of course.
So even though we never worked together, I've seen him around a lot.
He was on a lot of shows too.
He's a very great man.
I kind of feel like I'm looking at a Hollywood star.
Because I've only ever seen him on TV...
- Of course. - I never thought I'd really meet you.
We just didn't have the chance until now.
I should have kept doing shows.
Right?
I wanted to, so I even did that dance thing.
With Lee Sora.
Oh, that!
How amazing!
Miss Kim Sora, the seats are filled to the brim for the first time in a while!
- Yes, they are! - Why am I so happy?
- Really? - Of course!
Have a glass of water.
- What's this? Thank you. - We didn't have anything else...
- He's had a lot of water already. - You're pretty.
- Thank you. - You look like Miss Korea.
She started out as a supermodel.
Isn't she pretty?
Thank you.
Oh, you're here.
You, good.
They say you're called Mama Shin here.
Yes, it's true.
I thought you surrendered.
You're past the age to get married, aren't you?
Long past that.
Don't get married.
I'm going to take it slowly.
Do you have a girlfriend?
- Yes, I do. - Of course.
You need to have a girlfriend even if you don't get married.
There are many young people here who may not remember the older days of
our honored guest, Lee Deok Hwa. So I prepared a brief history of you.
Let's hear this first, and then enjoy a nice meal together.
Is this going to make me break into a sweat?
No, no.
- Don't do anything strange. - If it's all right with you, I'll stand.
He's making me emotional, the cabbage. Okay.
Once again, a round of applause for our guest, Lee Deok Hwa.
Born in 1952, on May 8th.
He earned a bachelor's degree studying theater at Dongguk University.
He graduated with excellent grades.
In 1973 he debuted as part of TBC's 13th class of actors.
That was on the computer, wasn't it? It's '72, not 73.
They have to edit that.
They will fix it upon hearing this today.
In 1972 he debuted as part of TBC's 13th class of actors.
It's 33 years this year.
Presently, he stars with Lee Dong Wook in 'Hotel King.'
Among his famous works are, 'Han Myung Hoe.'
'Han Myung Hoe,' that was great.
'Age of Warriors.'
'Fifth Republic.'
The drama that 70 percent of the nation watched, 'Love and Ambition.'
Applause!
Korea's representative actor!
He's a living witness to Korean dramas and movies.
Not only that, but he hosted many live music shows.
From 1981 to 1984, he hosted a popular show called 'Show 2000.'
From 1985 to 1991, he hosted 'Saturday, Saturday is Happy.' 'Please, go ahead!'
Popularizing that phrase, he's come all the way to our generation
as Korea's greatest actor and entertainer.
A big round of applause!
That's it for the brief history...
You worked hard.
Thank you.
Did you come here empty-handed?
I asked around for what to get as a housewarming gift.
Soap, or tissues or-
I asked, 'What do I bring?'
They said, 'A man can't bring those things!'
A man I used to play soccer with said, 'An envelope is best.'
So I brought an envelope.
[An impressive housewarming gift.]
Thank you.
I'll hand it over to the eldest.
We'll gratefully use it for our daily lives.
I'm giving it with sincerity.
Buy the kids lots of good things to eat.
Thank you.
Here, treasurer.
[Right away handing over the spending money to Treasurer Hong.]
Once again, we're all unexpectedly grateful.
It's very thick.
Really.
Soo Hyun is the treasurer.
Ah, she is.
This is too thick, really.
It's all 1000 Won bills.
It might be 10,000 Won bills.
Let's eat now.
Sung Woo prepared some spicy seafood stew because you were coming.
Spicy seafood stew?
I love it.
Let's go.
I'm talking a lot today.
Wow, what a meal.
- May we ask you a favor? - What is it?
We made spicy seafood stew for you
and when you say, 'Please, the stew!' it will come out.
Oh, sure! It's not hard to do.
Mr. Shin Sung Woo. Please, the stew!
[So suave!]
I have a good feeling about this.
[The spicy seafood stew is ready!]
Let's all have a good meal.
Looking at you all today, I'm envious.
You're from all different walks of life.
A group of brilliant people.
And may you have success in all you do.
To your health!
To our health!
So nice!
It's true I have some special knowledge of seafood.
I hope it will taste good.
- It's good, isn't it? - Yes, it is.
Then let's start too.
Everyone start eating, except you.
Enjoy your meals!
Let's have a good meal!
You're a good cook!
[Everyone enjoys their spoonfuls.]
[Huh?]
[The reason Nana is laughing?]
Nana, you said you'd make the rice, right?
Yes.
You know how to make rice?
I know how to do it now.
She's good at it.
Mix a little in.
There we go.
I think the rice is especially good today.
Who made the rice?
- Nana did. - Really? It's good.
- Nana did it? - Yes.
This is raw rice.
Let's try the rice Nana made.
I cooked it so you'd have something to chew.
The rice is really good today.
[Swallowing the raw rice with the help of the broth?]
It's like cold rice.
If your teeth aren't strong, they'll break while you eat.
[I'm sorry...]
You should just stay the night.
I really want to, but...
You can sleep in our room. Or in the bunk bed.
But when your roommate comes in later, he's going to leave thinking it's not his room.
That's him!
He's the one who shares the room with me.
Cabbage will come in and think, 'Oh, it's not this room.'
You have... a lot in common with my father, so.
Tell him my wig's gotten a lot better.
My father really said he had to get a wig after seeing you.
He should.
He uses a competing product to yours.
The kind you use was a little expensive
so he bought a different one.
You should have brought him to me!
I will give one to him for free!
[Mr. Deok Hwa, thank you!]
I just went back and forth between the station.
I did a lot of extra work.
I would feel grateful for even a few lines...
That's how it went for a while.
One day Kim Soo Hyun says to me...
The screenwriter, Kim Soo Hyun.
'You, come here.'
So I met with her.
'Yes, what is it?'
'Oh, I just feel so irritated when I see you, you little bastard.'
'Oh, why?'
'Are you really going to be an actor?'
'Or are you just going to keep hanging around and then quit?'
She really lectured me.
I said, 'I started doing this to be an actor.'
'I'm sorry.' Back then I was so busy trying to make money
that my eyes were always red with exhaustion.
I didn't sleep, and whether it was the countryside
or adult clubs, as long as they'd give me 10,000 Won I'd go work for them.
'And what's with that hair of yours?'
Who would give a role to a young guy going around looking like this?
'Put on a wig, what's wrong with you?'
'How are you going to be a leading man like that?'
She said all these things that hurt me deeply.
Because of that, I went out and bought a wig.
Oh, so that's why?
And back then it wasn't a nice wig like this, it was like a hat.
It comes off easily.
If you ran into something it would spin around.
I put that on, and I went up to her.
I said, 'So? How is it?'
And the role that she gave me was for 'Love and Ambition.'
She said, 'You had better work very hard on this.'
'Clean up your act, too.'
'Okay, I will.' That's when I thought to myself
'She's right, if I keep living like this, I'm going to turn into a freak.'
So I cleaned up my act, started anew, and worked my hardest on that drama.
With that single project I became an actor!
You have to grab the opportunity when it comes to you!
You have to be prepared.
You have to sharpen the sword before you sheathe it.
That's how you deliver the blow when the chance comes.
If it's rusted over, you can't even unsheathe it. It doesn't work.
[Everyone's out in the yard to sit on their dinner.]
Isn't it nice to be out here?
I'm definitely an outdoors person.
Why else would I like fishing?
Because I enjoy nature!
It's nice and cool out here.
Yes, it is.
Oh, and by the way...
Se Ho does a good impression of you.
A good impression of me?
Because I'm such a big fan of yours.
I like to do it looking at some of your most famous scenes.
Famous scenes?
- Yes. - What famous scenes are in that computer?
Many.
Will our smart Jaden
hand over the growing Ciel
to his sister in three months' time?
Or...
Will he take it for himself?
Why would you choose a scene like that?
He said he personally really loved this scene.
I couldn't stop thinking about this scene.
- Is that so? - Yes.
- Show me. - Really?
I want to see how you do it.
He really wants to act.
He should. Everyone should act.
- You too. - Oh, I'm...
Oh, Chan Yeol!
Hello!
Come here!
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
This is the voice of EXO, Chan Yeol.
Oh, is that right. Nice to meet you.
He's in the group EXO...
Yeah, Soo Man's group.
- I'll just capture the feel of it. - Okay.
How about a quiz right here?
Will our smart Jaden
hand over the growing Ciel
to his sister in three months' time?
Or...
Will he take it for himself?
[Mwahaha.]
That was the feel of it for me.
Very good.
He's good, isn't he? He sounds like you.
But I don't like how you say the 'will' in 'will he.'
How should I say it?
Let it fly a little more.
Would you show us?
Will he hand it over?
There's a scene I'd like to ask you to do.
Yes, which one?
There was a scene where you hit Dong Wook with a cane.
I hit him a lot.
Could you show us that scene?
Why would you do that scene here?
Just about five times...
[After an intense look.]
[He begins striking with all his might!]
Even if it's a show, how can his expression not change after getting hit like that?
[The leading woman appears at that moment!]
Very nice!
How about Bom plays her?
What? Me? I don't know how to!
You just saw how to do it.
I didn't see it.
What do you mean you didn't see it?
Look. You stay there.
You have to appear.
Come here!
You're dead.
Since it's funny, you can really strike him if you want.
Move over here. You can come up from behind.
He's already started, he's already started.
Bom, are you ready?
I'll get ready...
That's how you should look when you enter.
Because the man you love is getting beaten.
- The expression is important. - I'm suddenly feeling nervous.
- Should we start? - Okay!
Ready? We're rolling!
Action!
Do you think you did the right thing?
I was wrong.
Then you should receive your punishment.
[He wouldn't really?]
[A great blow!]
You have to come up from behind.
Pitifully.
[Glaring?]
Why are you doing that?
I said I wasn't going to do it!
That's no good! We'll go again.
- No! - You just go again.
Just you try again.
Just do the 'Ack!'
- What kind of face am I supposed to make? - A pitiful one.
He's hitting the man you love.
Don't laugh at me!
Show the pain you feel at seeing the man you love getting beaten.
Okay.
- We're starting. - Okay.
- We're starting, Bom. - Okay.
[The man she loves is getting beaten!]
[I feel hurt right now!]
You little bastard!
[Hmm?]
Oh, don't do it!
A lot of his lines are very famous.
There's, 'Nan Jung...'
'Please, go ahead!'
First, let's hear a song. Please, go ahead!
'Good. Very good!'
'My love and passion to you.'
- 'Ardor.' - Oh, right, it's 'ardor.'
You're not very good at this.
Let's hear it from the man himself.
My love and ardor to you.
Royal...
[He even says the product's name!]
The really good one was the underwear commercial!
Oh, yeah, the underwear commercial.
Yes, good that you brought it up. I've prepared that one too.
Why did you prepare so many?
I have all of them!
- Se Ho is the king of rehearsal. - Tell me if you want something specific.
My love and ardor to you...
Royal D!
Hello. We don't have the time to take care ourselves when we're working.
[Bahahaha!]
Oh, this one!
This one!
'Right this moment, come to me freely.'
'You're calling me...'
'A cool man... a cool woman.'
This scene, this scene!
[Wow - Deok Hwa, a real tough guy!]
Hey, Cabbage. Back then when you did a commercial like that
everywhere you went your drinks were free.
You just went in like, 'Oh, nice to meet you.'
[Slam!]
No charge.
They really gave you everything back then.
Now, of all of Lee Deok Hwa's commercials
let's try the wall slam.
[This exact scene!]
Since we don't have a wall...
- Why don't we hit that over there? - What?
That surprised me.
[These rubber basins...]
[Slam it like a wall!]
Cabbage, you hold it while I demonstrate.
Okay, I'll hold it.
I'm wearing a wig right now.
Lightly, lightly.
Okay, I'll hit it lightly.
You have to look me in the eyes.
[Looking at each other alluringly.]
[The door slowly closes...]
[Slam!]
That's it!
- Got it? - Yes.
- Kang Jun. - Okay.
The nation's younger man, Seo Kang Jun!
You choose someone to play the woman.
Someone who'll accept.
Who do you hope will accept?
[Who will he choose?]
- Let's go! - Soo Hyun!
Soo Hyun's a good choice.
But the woman is actually supposed to be a little more voluptuous.
She's not it at all.
Sorry, Miss Hong Soo Hyun.
[Oh, it's so funny]
But that's not...
That's not something you can change quickly, so.
What's the important focus of the woman's role?
- Her sexiness! - Her sexiness?
- In order to capture the man's desire. - Yes, exactly.
Let's go!
Oh, very nice!
[Pfft!]
[Trying her best to seduce him?]
[Now the door slowly closes...]
Close it, that's good!
He was in sync with the music!
[As expected, rising star Seo Kang Jun!]
- Chan Yeol, why don't you try it? - Me?
Yes, Chan Yeol should try.
[Action!]
[With feeling and confidence!]
Look at those long strides, he looks cool.
[Of all people, Se Ho is playing the woman.]
[Nice, very nice]
He says hurry up and close it.
[Ooh!]
I'll make sure you film this commercial.
Slam!
Thank you.
Chan Yeol, you're so cool.
All of us prepared a little performance since you were coming.
- A performance? - Yes.
If it's okay with you, would you introduce the performers?
Oh, that would be great.
Hello. Filming in Seoul, this is Lee Deok Hwa.
Hello, this is your Deok Hwa.
Please, go ahead!
Hello, this is your Deok Hwa!
I feel so good seeing all of you today!
So good!
It's so good, it's a beautiful night!
Please, welcome our roommate, Nana!
[Nana's special stage! 'Pierrot Laughs At Us']
[A special show made to match to Deok Hwa's high standards]
Yeah!
[Oh yeah!]
[Nana's bare-faced sexy dance.]
Se Ho!
[Co-ed duo, Se Ho and Nana.]
[Perfect synchronicity.]
Nice, Cabbage!
Wow, Se Ho, you're good!
[Se Ho and Nana reproduce that feeling.]
We'll end it here.
That was good.
I felt too shy to dance alone.
I felt that if Se Ho danced with me I would feel more confident.
Se Ho gives you strength?
Yes.
[The night grows deeper.]
[Lee Deok Hwa...]
[After debuting in 1972 he's been in over 60 dramas]
[at least 50 movies, and countless music shows]
I did a lot of dramas and movies.
I've done enough, really.
I only didn't do more because I physically couldn't.
I tend to think I've tried it all.
Then while we're on the topic, I'm curious.
Yes?
As an actor you tried to become a congressman...
What was the opportunity that led you to want to become one?
Why don't you tell us candidly?
Like how you felt after you lost the election.
Weren't you very disappointed?
[Right... the election of '96... ]
Politics and the arts are separated by a very thin line.
[Because... ]
[Because of this, because of that... ]
Consequently, they are very similar.
I said, 'I don't know anything about politics!'
I'm not even interested!
But he was asking me to help out his father.
And so before we knew it, it had gotten to that point.
So I was asking what it was like after you lost.
Don't ask me about after I lost the election.
Only ask what I was feeling when I ran for office.
I don't care about that.
You feel bad even when you lose class president.
- Let's pretend it didn't happen. - Okay!
Pretend this never-
Hey, are you freaking insane?
I'm saying, it's a shame since you lost by about 2000 votes.
2000 votes? It was 850!
That's the kind of thing I wanted you to tell us!
If I'd won that election, I wouldn't be staying up all night these days.
Lee Deok Hwa!
Anyway, I'm sure all of you know but - but you know, I think I'm crazy today...
Where are all of you?
They went upstairs.
- To the second floor? - Yeah, they're all taking care of things.
How dare they!
- Then Sung Woo, sit here. - All right.
I have a lot to talk about, Sung Woo.
Hey, come here. Sit here, Sung Woo.
- Would you like something to eat? - What we had earlier.
- Some fruit. - Yes, we have some, we bought some.
Chan Yeol, did you really eat dinner?
- I had the in-flight meal. - The in-flight meal?
If you're tired, you can go up and rest.
No, I'm okay.
I have to do something with Kang Jun.
- Deep talk. - We have to have a deep talk.
This is something I want to tell all of you.
When someone achieves a measure of success and becomes famous
they get overexcited.
That's when you have to be careful.
I rode a motorcycle everywhere back then.
I could have just ridden it going back and forth from the studio, but...
I got hit by a bus.
I was in the hospital for three years.
And those three years... How do I describe it?
I was essentially dead.
People who came to visit me would say to each other
'We're supposed to come back next week. But let's just say our goodbyes right now.'
You said you were in the intensive care unit for three months?
- 10 months! - 10 months.
10 months in the ICU...
[Actor in Motorcycle Accident.]
I said it jokingly earlier
after I chose this career, I decided that I would live alone.
But the reason I got married was because she visited me for three years.
Cleaning up my piss and crap.
What kind of woman is this, we're not even engaged!
- She was your girlfriend then. - She was still my girlfriend.
- This was in your early twenties? - Yes.
Mid-twenties. 25, 26.
I had nothing to my name then.
Everything I had then went to...
Your wife.
When I went fishing I would say, 'Come on, you have to give me money for bait.
I had nothing.
That's how I've lived until now.
But that's happiness.
[Always living gratefully, that's happiness]
- I saw an article... - Yeah.
It talked about what score you had given Lee Dong Wook as an actor out of 100.
95 out of 100.
Why did you take off five points?
That's because...
When they asked me that day
it was not just for Dong Wook the actor
but Lee Dong Wook the person.
This man - our work these days is very difficult.
If it's a 32-episode drama, he has to forgo sleep for four or five months.
He's a person too.
If he doesn't sleep, he's tired like the rest of us.
But he's always considerate of others.
She's a woman, finish her scenes first.
I can wait.
He's older, so hurry up and let him go home.
I'm not getting any sleep tonight anyway.
That is never an easy thing!
Try staying up just three nights!
Yeah...
You want to kill whoever is in front of you!
He was doing the same exact thing while filming this drama.
So I gave him 95 points.
95 is a perfect score to me.
And the five points are because I was trying to be objective.
- Because he might not be perfect? - He might have flaws!
He probably doesn't.
Just in case, I took away five points.
But the way I see it, it's a perfect score.
He must be tired himself.
But he still considers others.
That's called being a man.
Before he's an actor, he's a man.
You younger ones, listen carefully.
An actor never succeeds
just because he's a good actor.
You have to have everything.
That includes good acting skills.
Now, I've noticed while working with Dong Wook for a long time
that he's someone who keeps getting better.
And be a great actor in many roles.
[Despite their age difference, they are forging a close friendship.]
They're all pretty.
Who do you think is the prettiest?
All of them!
Why should I choose?
If you had to choose one as your daughter-in-law.
My son says he won't get married.
I said, 'What's wrong with you?' He's 36!
I thought like that until very recently, too.
Why wouldn't you get married?
He was joking but said, 'I don't know if I can live with woman like you do.'
What do I do with this bastard?
You were like that too, you have to understand.
I was like that because of my work!
He doesn't even have a job like mine.
Even if it's similar.
I thought like that too, but recently I started thinking that I should marry.
To be honest I was never that interested in women.
You went to middle school with...
Yeah, my wife and I grew up in the same neighborhood.
We've been married now for about 30-something, 40 years
I used to say I wasn't going to marry.
And then there was the accident.
For three years after the accident...
I thought about it after I recovered.
'If I were her, would I have done the same thing?'
- She had her own life too. - Of course.
But she did that.
Now, I just barely live without getting flogged.
I listen to her.
I wonder if I'll become that way too?
Don't you?
Let's live elegantly. Wisely.
And the thing about life is...
If I'd just lived comfortably without getting into that accident
I couldn't and wouldn't have become who I am today.
Thanks to that accident, I was reformed.
And that's why the present me exists today.
Always remember this in your heart.
I can die at any time.
If I had died in that accident, life would have been over.
And then I spent the next three years of my life in the hospital.
Raising myself back up to get here.
The amazing adversity of that.
This sounds like a movie. I wondered why I had to live like that.
It just seemed too much.
I'm telling you now, it's worth it.
Life is worth it.
Because you're a person, it's worth it.
You know, right?
Live passionately, with all your heart, humanely.
Living that way is happiness.
Let's at least drink some water.
- Cabbage. - Yes?
Life is worth it.
You're cool. You're adorable.
- I love you. - Thank you.
[Already the night is deep.]
Is it EXO or E-X-O?
Yes, it's EXO.
Hey, what were you doing?
I was exercising.
- So you can wear a bikini? - No.
I hear EXO is doing well these days.
- Of course. They're the best in the world. - They're so popular.
Who wanted the autograph?
My daughter!
My daughter is 30 years old, kid.
Just one autograph.
Does your daughter plan on marrying soon?
- My children don't. - She's still acting, right?
They're strange. 30 and 36.
I wonder why I had them.
- His daughter was in 'Empress Ki.' - Really?
- 'Empress Ki'? - She was an extra, an extra.
She was in it with Ha Ji Won.
But hey, Soo Hyun, she says she wants to act!
Of course, then you have to let her do it.
It's an EXO autograph.
- Your daughter's name... - Give it here.
My daughter's name is Lee Ji Hyun.
Kim Soo Hyun named my daughter.
Oh, the writer?
I said, 'Ji Hyun? That's so common!'
She said, 'Hey, you little bastard, then she can just be smart!'
She can just be smart.
- Don't you have an older sister too? - Yes, I do.
- Your older sister? - Yes.
I'll keep this safe since it's for my daughter.
This is what you write when someone older asks me for an autograph.
'Youth.'
'Youthfulness.'
Never comes again.
Youth... I'm over 60 now.
The people who ask for my autograph are all in their 40s and 50s.
If I write, 'Youth never comes again,' they think
'Is this bastard insane?'
But this is what I've been signing since - what did I say it was? Since '77.
June 15th.
I write it like this.
- 'Youth never comes again.' - That's meaningful.
- 'Lee Deok Hwa.' - That's almost a work of art.
I'm tired. I get easily excited.
Oh, I have to ask this.
Is 'Cool Kiz on the Block' or this show more fun?
When I go on 'Cool Kiz,' I have nothing to talk about.
It's 10:30.
- 10:30? - Yes.
Already?
- Let's clean up. - Is there anything else to do?
I'll go after I clean up and get everything together...
Oh, that's right! You have to do something.
Since you're an important guest and everything. Hand printing.
Hand printing? Oh, I do?
Yeah. We'll hang it on our wall. And an autograph too.
Sign the sketchbook with a pen, please.
The right side is for the hand printing.
Sign on this side.
[Archiving this precious time with the roommates.]
What this means is that you should live while you're young.
And then here I write my name.
You end like this.
[Hand printing in the sketchbook!]
['Roommate''s first wall print complete!]
- How nice. - I should clean up a little.
I cleaned up a little.
You know, it's nice over there.
Dong Wook... I'm too drunk.
At Christmastime...
When your uncle was drunk...
You little...
Sleep a little.
- You have to wake me soon. - Okay!
Really go to sleep. Really.
- But Dong Wook... - Yes.
- Do what I told you today. - Don't worry.
I think I got too drunk and made a mistake tonight.
This situation is just so funny.
What is?
You're drunk and lying on this bed...
- Hey, you do a good job on that thing. - Okay, don't worry.
I'm going to be in trouble.
- Good night. - Okay. Turn off the light.
- And wake me up in two hours. - Okay.
- I feel terrible. - Sleep for two hours.
- Tell the kids I love them. - Okay.
- Good night. - Sure.
Cabbage...
Oh, that's nice.
- Isn't he the best? - Yeah.
He's the best.
[Se Ho's come to check on Deok Hwa.]
[Checking to see if he needs anything.]
[Good night!]
Him saying a word to the kids was a big help, I'm sure.
Of course.
He'd be difficult to meet if you weren't working with him
and even if you do, there aren't any chances to hear this kind of thing...
You'd be too busy to hear this kind of advice.
It's true.
- It's nice to have someone older around. - Yeah.
I don't have people older than me most places I go.
Yeah.
It's really nice having someone older.
It's true.
Wherever you go now, you're probably one the oldest in the business.
The good thing is that you can keep doing what you want to do.
That's a big joy.
I was worried at first.
But I think it gets better as time goes on.
As time passes and the more I see him...
At first I wondered if there was something I was supposed to do.
But I don't really think that anymore.
[Dong Wook has met not just an acting mentor, but a life mentor]
I'm really glad he came to visit today.
I really didn't know he would come.
- There aren't many like him. - There aren't.
I asked him not expecting anything, but he immediately said, 'Sure, I'll come.'
'Just send me the address, kid.'
- 'Where is it? Just send me the address.' - He's a rock star.
There's always something I learn when I see him.
[The deep and heavy effects of their life mentor's teachings.]
Oh, I feel terrible. I should at least call home.
[Roommate Nightly News]
Hello everyone.
It's the eight o'clock news.
This is anchor Lee Dong Wook
bringing you the latest in 'Roommate' news.
Next to me is Jo Se Ho. Hello.
Yes, hello, nice to meet you. Hello.
It's Cabbage Jo Se Ho.
- Your greeting is too long. - Okay.
How have you changed after starting 'Roommate'?
- There have been a lot of changes. - Yes. In detail.
It's a little embarrassing to say this myself, but...
My name has changed from Jo Se Ho to Great Se Ho.
- Oh, Great Se Ho. - That's right.
So you acknowledge that you are doing great these days?
I try to be humble...
Do you acknowledge it or not?
Listen to what--
- Do you acknowledge it? - Yes, I do.
Okay.
- So you think of yourself as great. - No, that's not it.
I believe that since 'Roommate' you've starred in two commercials.
You were informing us of this fact earlier as well.
How has your income changed?
- But... - Are you asking for the number?
I will ask more specifically.
Before the commercials, how much did you have in your bank account?
You should contact my lawyer for that.
But since you're here, share that information so that our audience--
How much do you get here?
Per episode...
Jo Se Ho, you recently...
Why are you laughing?
Why? There aren't any funny lines.
About Nana...
Yes, you can ask comfortably.
- A love line... - Yes.
Is being formed, yes.
- An absurd misunderstanding... - You never know with people.
You never know with people, so I don't think you should be so pessimistic.
I hope that you watch our story develop.
Congratulations to you, and that's it for tonight.
- Leave, now. - There's something on the back.
Why are you being like this, Dong Wook?
- Do the rest! - Don't call me that.
Mr. Lee Dong Wook. It says, 'Jo Se Ho's blah blah blah.'
Sing your favorite song.
Desperado...
Why don't you...
You've been out riding fences
for so long now.
- Thank you. - Yes, thank you.
Our second guest is Seo Kang Jun.
There are a lot of rumors surrounding him.
'Is he really an idiot?'
'Or is that just a persona he's pushing on the show?'
- Tell them we moved in. - Moved, moved.
Moved.
We...
Moved in.
[Made a punishment worse by kicking with cleats.]
That's enough.
[He's funny in costumes.]
They wonder if you're an idiot.
Or actually a genius entertainer.
What is the truth?
Do I have to hold this?
[Huh?]
This is for the singing later.
The truth is... I don't fake anything.
- I just show it like it is. - Right. No faking.
I just see, feel, say and do.
That's what I do.
Do you know what WHO stands for?
[WHO: World Health Organization]
It means... 'Who are you?'
[Oh my.]
So WHO stands for something else.
- An acronym. - Yes.
World Health Organization.
[Huh! Genius?]
World Health Organization.
Oh, that's correct.
That's what it stands for.
[Unsure]
And lastly, say a word to the viewers.
Hello everyone. Moving forward I will show many different, fun sides of me.
Please keep watching.
Thank you for doing the interview.
[Roommate News]
Next is Roommate's youngest member, Song Ga Yeon.
On August 17th, she will debut in a pro competition.
I'm at the scene right now.
- Hello, everyone. - Close Sora's door.
But what are you guys doing?
The nightly news is filming downstairs.
Mr. Reporter!
- PD Jo! - Wait a minute. I'm sorry.
I'm about to interview someone else right now.
This is Reporter Jo of Roommate Nightly News.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
According to the rumors, you will be going pro in August.
Is that true?
Yes, it is.
What kind of competition will it be?
- A professional MMA competition. - Reporter Jo!
Yes?
What are you saying, I can't hear anything!
Let's see...
[Disconnected from the studio!]
- Yes, this is Reporter Jo Se Ho. - Yes, Reporter Jo Se Ho.
I have Song Ga Yeon here with me.
Have you met with Song Ga Yeon?
Yes, she's next to me.
She's famous for being a beautiful MMA fighter.
Yes.
Is she pretty?
Looking at her in person now, she's washed off all her make up.
But with her remarkable beauty she continues to captivate her male fans...
I will return to the studio with Song Ga Yeon.
- Shall we go together? - Yes, of course.
I will return with Song Ga Yeon. Let's go.
We've heard that you are going pro August 8.
- Yes. - The date has been decided.
- Yes. - What is your weight class?
I'm in the 48 kg class.
- Under 48 kg? - Yes.
You have to lose weight, is that right?
Yes, that's right.
Some people say you are not a fighter yet since you haven't debuted.
Yes, a lot of people say that.
How did that make you feel?
At first it bothered me a lot.
But I'm going to be competing for a long time.
So I don't think I should let those things get to my head.
Instead, it motivates me.
I think I become stronger when I'm cornered.
I hope to prove myself to all my fans
by doing impressively in competitions.
Understood.
[At last, Ga Yeon's debut professional competition!]
[There's nowhere to run now]
Starting now, walking push-ups for 20 meters!
She's been preparing very hard.
Seeing her work out that hard is really cool.
I hope you get the result that you deserve from all that hard work.
I'll always be standing behind you.
[Ga Yeon's family, who support her always]
[for them, she works hard yet again today]
[She's come this far with just the goal of becoming a fighter]
[now it's time for it to come to fruition.]
You're going to win! Fighting!
She's going to win.
Because all of us are rooting for her.
Don't get hurt.
Thank you.
Together, 'Song Ga Yeon, fighting.''
Song Ga Yeon, fighting!
