(This program is a documentary where two MCs, who survived in the
jungle-like world of variety shows, go on a trip to find dinner.)
One day in November...
It's fall now, isn't it?
The weather is bleak.
The temperature changes every day.
It'd be great if we rang a doorbell and they served us kimchi stew.
Hot, spicy kimchi stew and...
Bean paste stew. Don't you want to eat it?
Savory bean paste stew.
- The colder it gets, you realize the value of home. - You realize it more.
- Yes, the gratefulness of a meal. - If we shake, they'll tell us to come in.
That's right. The season when the desperation of a meal grows bigger has come.
- Where are we? This is Bangbae-dong. - The man I serve lives here.
- The man you serve? - Yes.
Is he at the police station? This is a police station, Kyung-kyu.
- Is he in jail? - No.
They're protecting him. He lived here for a very long time.
- You came to pick me up. - Yes.
So he's someone I have to pick up.
- He's someone higher than you? - Of course.
You speak.
(He becomes small every time he stands in front of a doorbell.)
- Hello? - Hello! I'm Lee Kyung-kyu's younger friend, Kang Ho-dong.
Oh, hello.
I heard the man Kyung-kyu respects lives here.
He does. What brings you here?
We have to film for "Let's Eat Dinner Together" today.
- Film? - Yes.
We have to do make-up on him and style his hair.
Will it take long to do his hair?
This is the perfect weather to fly a kite, so something else can fly away as well.
Mr. Kang Ho-dong, can you grab the leaves behind you and
throw them in the air, so that I can see the wind condition?
- This? - Yes.
- For the wind? - Yes.
- Is it because of the wind? - Can you throw them?
Oh, that's severe. Sir, we're going to fix your hair one more time!
(Adding more time to fix his hair)
Excuse me, but what is your relationship with him?
- I'm his manager. - Why are you being so annoying though?
- We're almost done with his hair. Please wait two and a half hours. - What?
Excuse me. The sun is about to fall. Just tell him to come out already.
Tell him I'll put a rock on top of his wig so that it doesn't fly away.
He keeps talking!
- Please come out. - Okay.
Who is he? Do you know him?
I have no idea. I really have no clue.
- You don't? - Hold on, Kyung-kyu.
(He rings the doorbell one more time to check~)
Hello?
Why do you keep knocking?
- Who are you? - I told you we have to get ready, so why are you creating a ruckus?
Do you think you're all that because you're celebrities?
- Are you the one we talked to just now? - Yes, I am.
Your voice sounds familiar...
Aren't you going to come out?
- Move. Move. - What the heck?
Who are you to grab my collar?
Today's dinner partner who appeared with a silliness
of a different class: the big hit Yang Se-hyeong.
- That was your voice earlier? - Yes, that was me.
- No wonder. For a manager, you were too good at speaking. - No, no.
- No wonder. - What about the other guest?
- He's getting ready right now.
How are you and he related?
We're not related at all. I thought I was dying from awkwardness in there.
Either way, it's hard.
- Why is it so noisy? - Hello, Mr. Lee!
Why did you to pick this day out of all days?
Today is the windiest day.
- Se-hyeong, is my hair okay? - It won't fly away. Don't worry.
- Why did you pick such a windy day? - "It's so good."
The godfather over the godfather Lee Deok-hwa.
The trendiest MCs of their time Lee Deok-hwa and Yang Se-hyeong came to get a meal.
- Wow. It's been a long time. - Yes, it has.
- Let's go. - Wait a minute, Kyung-kyu!
I'm trying to talk to him! Why do you keep insisting we leave?
If you have something to give me, just do it.
He doesn't like it when you drag out the time.
At the end of the skirmish, they get their four spoons.
They all look the same. Which neighborhood are we going to?
- It's written down here, but I'm going to reveal it slowly. - Why?
- We need to know how we're related in order to start. - What about you, Se-hyeong?
To be honest, I have nothing to do with all of you.
- You were forced to fit in here, huh? - I think so.
"Forced to fit in here?"
I've never been so uncomfortable since I had to eat
lunch with my principal by myself in middle school.
(Extremely uncomfortable)
Just look at it like this.
Modern MCs. Past MCs.
Founder of show programs. Founder of variety shows.
- The founders. - That's right.
- So that's how we're connected. - Right.
- Nice. - Back then, did you guys do many shows together?
- Of course. - We did many shows.
Just call me Deok-hwa instead of Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee sounds weird.
- Just call him by his name. - But the formality...
- No, no, no. By his name. - My son is 40.
- By his name. - How about Mr. Deok-hwa?
- Mr. Deok-hwa? - Can I call him that?
- Go ahead. - Just call me Kyung-kyu.
- Seriously? - Yes. Call us that.
Mr. Deok-hwa? Sir? What?
Then I'll just call him Deok-hwa.
- I don't think it's polite. - You little punk! Call him Mr. Deok-hwa!
- Then just let me call him that today. - Okay.
- Mr. Deok-hwa. - That's right!
- Nice, Se-hyeong. - And you're Kyung-kyu.
(You brat...!)
- And Ho-dong. I look forward to working with you. - Yes.
(A friendship that leaps over generations)
He's Ho-dong. Ho-dong, you call him Deok-hwa, too.
- Se-hyeong and I can just be informal like friends. - That's a bit...
Let's just all be friends!
(We are the friends~!)
(Works for me!)
That's how the world's most awkward group of four friends was born.
Then with your cool voice, Mr. Lee, I mean Deok-hwa...
- What's this? - The location.
Control your breathing.
- Action! - Ready, action!
Today, go to the residence in Cheonho-dong
and eat dinner there.
I love it!
I really love it!
The neighborhood he'll be going to with his very good friends is...
Cheonho-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul.
This place used to be part of Ghyeonggi-do, Gwangju,
but after becoming part of Seoul in 1963,
it was named Cheonho-dong because more than a thousand homes could live in this area.
It is a place worthy of the name "Gateway of Gangdong" due to it bordering
Cheonho Bridge and Gwangjin Bridge and passing over subway lines five and eight
Gangdong-gu's specialized street is famous for
Cheonho-dong's stationary stores and toy street.
It is a lively neighborhood in southeast Seoul that is filled with tool stores.
Please have dinner at Cheonho-dong, the place that is filled with the smell of people!
"Let's Eat Dinner Together" episode 56: With Friends
- Hello! - Hello.
- It's nice to meet you! - Hello!
- That's my wife. - Do you think he'll successfully get dinner tonight?
- Yes. - I think I'm going to become full.
She was worried that he wouldn't be able to eat dinner.
Just make me ramen.
- Do you watch our show often? - Yes.
She's a TV killer.
- We'll be back. - Bye.
- We'll do our best and make sure he eats! - Thank you.
- You don't ride the bus often, do you? - I haven't rode it in a while.
This is a bus card.
- Long time ago, there used to be those usherettes. - Right.
They used to let me ride for free a lot just because I looked familiar.
- Long time ago? - Yes.
- Se-hyeong, I remember it, too. Back then, they used to be like acrobats. - Right.
The bus was leaving, and it was over-packed with people.
Even though the bus is moving, they would push people in the bus and close the door.
Aren't you from a different generation?
- No. It was when I was little. - I wasn't around then.
I didn't even live in the time of tokens. I just paid money.
We had bus tickets back then. We had about ten of them, like stamps.
You must be prepared when you ring those doorbells tonight.
I know. What if they go, "I already ate!" What do I do then?
"I got it!" Do I say that and just leave?
"I'm sorry. Good-bye."
Deok-hwa, the most important thing is that we
can't eat with people who already had dinner.
- We have many rules. - Oh, so if they say they already ate...
If they invite us in but they already ate, we can't join them.
I'm in big trouble.
(Sudden anxiety.../Organizing his eyebrows.)
(On the other hand, young friend Se-hyeong is...)
(He's working hard to find the bus line with Kyung-kyu.)
- Please take a seat. - Shall I?
- This is a battle of stamina. - Right.
- How much do we have to walk? - Did you come to Cheonho-dong often?
- This is my turf. - Why?
There are many night spots here.
- Night spots? - There used to be many of those here.
In Cheonho-dong? - Yes.
You and I have different night spots.
I would usually go to hotel nightclubs.
Comedians go and do shows there. What do you do there?
- I sing and DJ. - DJ?
- Yes. - Really?
The DJs now and the DJs back then are different.
We used to read poems for the opening.
I totally raised their standing.
- You read poems at nightclubs? - Yes, for the opening.
"Hello. It's nice to meet you."?"
"You came again?"
(Their reactions are best to his jokes.)
Then did many people like it?
If they didn't, do you think I would've done it?
You could've done that because of your popularity...
I guess... You little brat!
He's worse than Kyung-kyu.
While they're building up their friendship with chatter
and silliness, the bus to Cheonho-dong has arrived.
- Hello. - Hi.
This is nice.
- We need to do whatever we can to eat quickly and talk about fun things. - Yes.
Recently, there have been cases where you
- eat at the first house you go to. - Really?
- If that happens, there won't be much to film. - It doesn't matter.
You don't have to think about such things.
I want to quickly enter the first house and go,
"It's nice to meet you. Do you always eat like
this? You're amazing. Let's eat, Kyung-kyu."
- I guess you've done many simulations at home. - He has!
The other day, he was like, "Let's eat, Kyung-kyu. Oh, dear. There's no fish."
(Embarrassed)
"I can't eat without fish."
He's actually the first person to
create catch phrases.
"Please." That was powerful.
How did you come up with that idea?
That was just a call sign during shows.
Back then, it was live broadcast, so the entire staff was waiting.
If I just greet the viewers, introduce the singer, and quietly go back,
the staff will have no idea what to do.
I had to do something so they could turn on the lights and play the music.
That's why I added "please" at the end.
"Jo Young-pil, please do."
After a while, it became boring.
- I wondered if I should stretch it out. "Please." - So you practiced it.
I did all kinds of things!
Do you practice it at home?
- No, on the show. - On the show?
Today, I'll do it this way, and tomorrow, it will be different.
Someone I dislike might come out.
"Yang Se-hyeong, proceed..."
(Narrow-minded (?) Deok-hwa)
Then the staff will be like,
"What? What's going on? Just play!"
The music and lights become a mess.
- We have to get off here. - We do?
The bus with laughter that went through periods
arrived at their destination in no time.
(They arrived at Cheonho-dong!)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Deok-hwa, this is Cheonho-dong.
The neighborhood has become a main street.
- It modernized quite a bit. - Hello!
- Hello! - Hello!
It's nice to meet you!
I think that was a happy greeting.
That was a refreshing one.
"It's nice to meet you!" If I'm sad, I'll say it like, "It's nice to meet you."
What if you met someone you really missed?
"Oh! It's nice to see you!"
Oh, my stomach.
Deok-hwa, let's drop by a real estate agency.
- Hello! It's nice to meet you! I'm Lee Kyung-kyu. - Hello!
- It's nice to meet you! - Same here.
- Hello. - This is Yang Se-hyeong.
- It's nice to meet you. - Hello.
- Please take a seat. - Have a seat.
First of all, what kind of neighborhood is Cheonho-dong?
Location-wise, Cheonho-dong is a great place.
- It's on the bank of the Han River. - Right on the exterior.
This is Gangdong Station and Cheonho Station.
The floating population is high because it's a transfer station.
This is Rodeo Street. There are malls here.
This is Cheonho-dong, and this is the bank of the Han River.
- While we came here, there was the bicycle street. - Yes.
On your way to Cheonho-dong, you can fix your bicycles and put air in the tires.
- This is the new town. - I see.
What is the age range of the majority of the people living here?
Many young people live in the studios.
Most of the houses here are residences of elderly people.
Which famous celebrities are from Cheonho-dong?
From what I know, there's Jo In-sung.
Jo In-sung is from Cheonho-dong?
- Thank you! - Thank you.
- It's nice to meet you. - Thank you.
- Is this a park? - Yes.
It's nice!
- Cheonho Park. - It says Cheonho Park.
They're playing a game of go.
(The elders are using their skills to play go.)
Wow! There's a place to play foot volleyball as well as a stage and basketball court!
This isn't a small park, after all!
The sound of the leaves rustling signals that fall is already over.
Winter is approaching.
(Ho-dong joins in.)
Nice!
(Old men trio)
(The 3 old men have become sentimental due to fall.)
- Se-hyeong, you don't know this song, do you? - I have no idea at all.
- This is Kim So-wol's poem. - Oh, the song is made from a poem?
- The lyrics are from it. - I see.
If I had known about this, I would've studied it beforehand.
Deok-hwa, the moon is already out.
Where? Oh, you're right.
The sun sets at 6:00 p.m.
If you compare ringing doorbells to fishing, they both have a time of best tides.
Best tide? A good tide is necessary for fishing.
If the tide isn't right, the fish won't bite.
It's the same thing for this. The best time is between 6:00 and 6:45 p.m.
- That's the best ride. - Right.
- Water tide for fishing and dinner tide for this show. - Right.
- Yes. - If we lose this time, it will be the end of us.
We're filming on a weekend, so people might be eating out.
(There's the variable of it being a Sunday night.)
The tide is horrible.
The dinner tide is horrible during Sunday night. They're starting to worry already.
- Oh, hello! - Hello.
Deok-hwa! Goodness! I'm Cheonho-dong's wild boar!
(They met Cheonho-dong's wild boar at he park.)
I love you!
Thank you. Bye.
I'm a wild boar as well!
Cheonho-dong is a very good neighborhood.
(Careful)
- Goodness. That man looked really healthy. - He was full of spirit!
- Don't we have to go into the residence area now? - Yes.
We're scanning the general mood of the neighborhood right now.
(Scanning)
- We're looking for a fishing point. - I see.
You're comparing everything to fishing.
The secret to fishing. Number one: location.
- Location is important. - Number two: location.
Number three is location as well.
You need to fish where there's fish.
"Let's Eat Dinner Together" is like fishing. It's a battle for location.
- Right. - Yes.
And it's also luck.
It's 70% luck and 30% effort.
These are the detached houses.
(They entered Cheonho-dong's residence where the battle for location is important.)
There was a park earlier, and there's another park in here.
In the populated residential area, a park was created to foster a generous atmosphere.
The residence also has a parking space made from knocking down
walls and gates and an environmental-friendly landscape space.
(It's pretty.)
This is the today's location to fish for a meal.
- There's something fun about looking around the neighborhood. - There is.
- Look at these flowers! - They're beautiful. The colors are so pretty.
- What kind of flower is this? - I don't know.
Deok-hwa, nowadays...
- If you take a picture, the name of the flower comes out? - Yes.
- Let me see. - Really? You're lying.
- Take a picture. - It will come out right away. Watch.
- It came out. - Come out.
Amazing. Periwinkle. Wow!
- It's my first time doing this! - That's amazing!
- What is it? - Periwinkle.
- Oh, periwinkle. - "Periwinkle."
(This time, Ho-dong is captivated by the ground.)
My feelings are being expressed through this heart.
I'll take a picture of you! We must capture this one!
This might be a flower!
I'll make sure the heart shows. It's so pretty!
One, two, three. It's pretty!
The photo came out very nicely. It really looks like a heart. Watch.
Are you guys here for nature learning?
He does this all the time.
(Launching of hearts)
This is great.
Hello. Hello. Hello.
Kyung-kyu, this is culture. Look at this bicycle.
- A straw hat. - To cover the sun.
(Shouldn't have come. Turns around quickly~)
You're so cool. You have plenty of emotions.
- This is so nice. - I'm in girl mode.
Ho-dong is more sentimental than he looks.
He's getting touched over nothing.
Ho-dong, look at the white thing here.
- It's white! - Doesn't it look like snow?
- Whatever. - Se-hyeong, look!
- The sizes of the stairs are the same! - Oh, my!
These would've been so difficult to build.
The wonderful labor they experienced while creating these stairs.
- Hello! - Come here! Give me a hi-five!
Let's see who you'll hi-five first! Ready, go!
Hurry up! What's wrong with them? My goodness!
Will we be able to eat by tonight?
- Hi-five! - Ring the doorbell!
- Is he always like this? - Yes.
You must be frustrated.
Kyung-kyu feels sturdy because Deok-hwa understands his problem.
- On the other hand, their younger friends are... - It's cold!
- Wear a jacket. - Look at the princess's shoes! They light up!
They're so beautiful! The way her shoes light up
with every step looks like the path of our lives!
Isn't it beautiful? Seriously? I made the right decision to come here today!
Wow! Look at how tiny that door is!
Long time ago, they used to make tiny doors like this, you know?
People used to duck their way inside. You know what I mean?
It's the door that makes you realize you should
lower yourself and treat everyone equally.
- But it's still locked. - Right.
This is so nice. It's awesome.
This broom! It's been a while since I've seen this! This is great!
This is really nice.
Look at how the tire is full of air. I think that's so pretty.
What great weather!
(His girl mode has dried up to become a different emotion.)
Don't film this. I'm just going to pick up this trash.
Please edit this out, or it could make it seem like I did this on purpose.
Yang Se-hyeong is more emotional than the king of communication.
I really hate this kind of weather. Goodness.
I hate it because it's so windy. Is my hair ruined?
Check carefully.
There's nothing wrong with it, right?
(Precious hair)
Oh my goodness. Why are there such greens here, like it's the Han River?
(I can't lose like this...)
- This is the children's park. - Look at the fall foliage.
- It's pretty. - This is Neo-confucianism.
- Seongmiak? What's that? - It's seonglihak.
- Seonglihak? - A bit hard, right?
- Yes. - There's literature and there's Neo-confucianism.
What's Neo-confucianism?
This is the tree's wisdom.
- To prepare for winter, it sucks up moisture. - Right.
- If it becomes greedy to protect its leaves, it will freeze in winter. - Right.
In order to not freeze to death, it cuts off the moisture going to the leaves.
- It cuts it off? - Yes.
Because if it becomes greedy and drinks up all the
water, it will freeze to death in the winter.
Okay, that's enough of that.
- So... - Let's go.
- Look at the pepper! - Where?
Look at the pepper here. My, the pepper!
- These are peppers. - You're impossible!
Kyung-kyu, he talks way too much!
(Disbelief/Backstabbed)
I can't stand being with him! He talks way too much!
I was being nice and listening to him, but he just won't stop talking!
- Oh my gosh! You're too much! - I was being nice to him, and my goodness!
He talks way too much! He even calls a rock on the ground pretty!
- Who talked more? You or me? - I didn't talk much!
Just because you talk a lot doesn't mean you're a good talker!
He suddenly talked about Neo-confucianism, so I stopped
him and ran here because you guys were waiting.
- I only talked a little bit at the end. - I apologize.
- I respect you guys. - So we have to do this.
- Ho-dong. - Yes?
We have to decide the teams now. I think-
- Aren't all four of us going in together? - No, separately.
Deok-hwa, you can choose.
- Then I'll go with you. - All right.
I'll let you take Deok-hwa, and I'll team up with Se-hyeong.
We have unfinished matters to discuss about Neo-confucianism.
- Neo-confucianism? - Yes.
Enough of that.
- I need to explain about the leaves. - I'm not curious.
The philosophy of trees.
I forgot to mention this earlier. Do you know why tigers die?
- Why? - They starve to death after losing all their teeth.
- Oh, dear. - Tigers won't eat porridge because
they have no teeth. It's a serious matter.
- Please go along with the flow. - I'm sorry.
We're dancing along to different tunes: a shaman song, windy
song, and an allegro. So I'm having a very, very hard time.
All right.
Then you should do it, Deok-hwa. Start the drama. Cue!
The miracle of a dinner in Cheonho-dong...
Will you join us?
- "Let's Eat..." - "Dinner Together!"
Even for the four spoons dancing to different tunes, the unavoidable time has come.
Please eat dinner.
(Darkness has fallen, and the fall weather has become very chilly.)
It's fall now, and we're hungry. I really can't stand being cold and hungry.
- Right. - We must hurry up and go in.
Se-hyeong, try this house!
(Popular Yang Se-hyeong's first try!/Nervous.)
(He's nervous as well.)
(He finally rang the doorbell!)
- Just wait now. - Hello!
Hi.
Hello. I'm comedian Yang Se-hyeong.
Yam Saeng-yi?
No, not Yam Saeng-yi. Yang Se-hyeong.
- Yang Se-hyeong? - Yes.
- Did you eat dinner? - Yes.
- You did? - We'll come eat next time!
- Come next time. - Thank you!
(It's hard, isn't it?)
I can't speak, and I keep stuttering.
- Right? - I'm suddenly nervous.
I can feel this on my skin.
Deok-hwa, wow! It's clean! Try it.
It's a new style!
(At last, the godfather rings the doorbell...)
- Nice. - You have to lower your head a bit.
Be confident.
You have to show them your face.
They have to answer the doorbell first.
What we only imagined before is happening in real life.
- Deok-hwa. - Who is it?
Hello. I'm Deok-hwa. It's nice to meet you.
Hello?
He-
Did she hang up?
(The humiliation of the godfather)
"I'm Lee Deok-hwa." You shouldn't say it like that! Just go, "I'm Deok-hwa."
This isn't your house!
- He feels like an ex-boyfriend who dropped by. - There's a kid in there.
- A little kid answered. - After you said, "I'm Deok-hwa," she ran away.
- Why would a kid answer this? - Because she lives there.
Huh?
(Let's go!)
My goodness!
(This time, it's Se-hyeong's turn!)
- We'll definitely succeed here. - Yes.
- My goodness. - Let's do this.
- I think you're a bit flustered. - I'm breaking into a cold sweat here.
(Deok-hwa got a good taste of the doorbell.)
- How old is the kid? - Hello!
- Hi. - I'm comedian Yang Se-hyeong. Do you know me by any chance?
- I don't know, but hold on. - Okay.
- I think she's calling someone else. That's a good sign. - That is.
Wow, but why did the kid just hang up and not call for her mom?
- Oh! - Oh my god!
An elderly man is coming down.
- It's someone my age. - Who is it?
- Hello. I'm... - Oh! Yang Se...!
That's right. I'm Yang Se-hyeong.
Oh my god.
- Is this "Let's Eat Dinner Together?" - Yes, it is.
- Did you eat dinner already? - We're in the middle of eating.
- Oh, you are? - Oh my god. This is amazing.
- How did you end up coming to our house? - Hello, ma'am.
I know you very well.
There's someone here as well. Introduce yourself.
Hello, I'm...
(He just passes by Se-hyeong...)
Embarrassed!
Sir, do you know who he is?
Of course I do! You're not a citizen of Korea if you don't know Lee Deok-hwa.
Sir, I just got rejected by a kid next door.
Gosh. I should've rang this doorbell.
- Please listen to his introduction. Cue. - Let me introduce myself.
One, two, three, four!
(The world's most daring self-introduction)
Very good! Awesome!
I'm Yang Se-hyeong.
- What's his name? - Yang Se-Ba-ri?
What's your name?
(Working hard)
- His name is Yang Se-hyeong. - Yang Se-hyeong.
Yes, I'm Yang Se-hyeong.
Can we go into your house, talk about various topics with you,
- and join you whether you have food or not... - I have no food.
- I see. - I have to be honest.
Of course.
Take care and thank you.
- Thank you. - It's cold. Go inside. You'll catch a cold.
Miss, come over here for a minute.
- I don't have any make-up on! - You're a girl.
Do it for her. One, two, three, four!
(No matter how many times he does it, it's always daring.)
(Thumbs up!)
I feel like I'm going to do this about 1,000 times today.
- We'll be going now. - Have a good dinner.
Ma'am, take care.
Please hurry inside. The weather is cold.
Right below here.
(Working hard)
Deok-hwa, press this number.
(Kyung-kyu is assisting Deok-hwa very well.)
- You can see your face. - You can.
This one is very modernized.
- Don't be nervous and relax. - Let's go inside.
Hold out your spoon.
- He draws it out like he's drawing out a sword. - Hello?
Hello. I'm Lee Deok-hwa.
- Hello. - It's nice to meet you.
- Do you know "Let's Eat Dinner Together?" - Yes.
- I'm filming that right now. - He's so relaxed.
- Did you eat dinner? - I'm just about to.
- Are you a woman? - Sorry?
- You sound like a man. - I'm a woman.
- You are? - What are you doing? Deok-hwa!
- I apologize. - It's okay.
The night is getting colder,
and I got rejected from a few homes.
- It's very unfortunate. - He's so cute!
Since you didn't eat dinner yet, may I come inside and help you?
I'm sorry.
(Temporary pause)
(Oh, my stomach!)
Ma'am!
- Try! Try! - Look here!
His Try CF!
- Kyung-kyu! - Yes?
You do it!
Even the godfather over the godfather is just a
hungry dinner partner in front of the doorbell.
Gosh. She said she didn't eat yet.
Did she rejected me because she's alone?
- That's a possibility. - Right? If she was alone...
- There are many lights on in this building. - We'll try this one.
- Go ahead. - Se-hyeong, come here.
(This time, it's Se-hyeong's attempt.)
- I like the sound. - The fact of the matter is whether they answer or not.
How do I come out?
You look the same.
You're good-looking.
- You can try it. - Deok-hwa, you have to do it.
(Trudges his way in front of the doorbell...)
Please do a close-up here. He's going to hit the wall.
(Doing his best to keep his composure)
- Deok-hwa. - Who is it?
Hello! I'm Lee Deok-hwa!
- Hi. - It's nice to meet you.
Did you eat dinner yet?
- "Let's Eat Dinner Together?" - That's right.
I guess that show is famous, after all.
Did you eat dinner yet?
I'm sorry, I have a baby, and my wife doesn't feel well.
- I'm sorry. - Goodness. I'm losing another opportunity.
It's very cold.
The wind is blowing fiercely as well.
I really want to kill Lee Kyung-kyu and Kang Ho-dong.
Goodness.
- He hung up? - Yes, he did.
You can hit right here.
(Failed three times straight)
(Even though he failed, he does fan service (?))
(The detail that isn't missed)
They try with love and passion,
but is it not time for the dinner tide yet?
- I'm getting frustrated. - The lights are on here.
(They hurry and move onto another villa.)
Deok-hwa, I have a good feeling about this place.
- The light... - I'm getting a vibe.
- Let's do it together. - Okay.
I think they'll be able to succeed if someone just answers it.
(Serious)
- You don't look very well. - I look extremely unwell.
- Hello? - Hello!
- Yes? - I'm Deok-hwa.
- I'm Kyung-kyu. - Hello!
It's nice to meet you.
- You know "Let's Eat Dinner Together," right? - But I have nothing!
- You don't even have plain rice? - I do, but...
- My house is messy right now. - Don't worry. We'll clean it up for you.
- What do I do? - Ma'am, it's really cold outside.
(The rare sight of the godfather in pathetic mode)
I went to several houses. I'm in an unfortunate situation.
- We're very hungry. - I'm not comfortable appearing on TV.
- Pardon?- You're not comfortable appearing on TV?
- I see. - You should back up. She's uncomfortable.
- You guys try now. - We'll go inside now.
I'm getting frustrated here.
- Out of all the days... - Yes, Sunday is quite difficult.
- The tide isn't right. - I know. It's not.
(They completely forgot about Se-hyeong ringing the doorbell.)
(Working hard by himself)
It's very bad. There's no tide.
Hello!
No one answered.
You guys weren't paying attention to me. Please pay attention to me!
Why aren't you guys paying attention when it's my turn? That's why I pulled a prank!
We were in a serious discussion about the tide because of you.
- I did it because you guys left when it was my turn. - Deok-hwa, let's go!
Wow. This isn't as easy as I thought it would be.
The weather became cold really fast.
The fall night has suddenly become cold.
Coldness and hunger always come together as if they're friends.
- I'm hungry. - It's okay if you're just hungry or just cold.
But when you're both hungry and cold, it's hard to endure.
(The synergy effect is hard to endure.)
Deok-hwa! Go, go!
Over there. Deok-hwa.
- Is the light on? - Yes, it is.
Oy, reporter!
- Come here, reporter. - "Reporter."
Reporter?
(Ding dong~)
Who is it?
- Ma'am. - Yes?
I'm actor Lee Deok-hwa.
Oh, you came down. I apologize, ma'am.
- Oh my goodness! Hello! - It's nice to meet you.
- I should shake your hand! - Sure.
- Hello! - Hello!
How did you manage to come all the way here? My goodness. It's nice to meet you.
- Would you like a cup of coffee? - We need to eat dinner.
- Dinner? - Yes.
- Did you eat? - Did you eat dinner, ma'am?
- I don't have any side dishes. - Did you eat?
- Sorry? - Did you eat?
No, I didn't.
We didn't eat yet. My friend came over.
- Is it just you two who are home? - My son is home, too.
- I see. - Did he eat yet?
Not yet.
- Can you discuss with your family first? - Oh, all right.
- We'll wait here. - To film, people have to come into your home.
- We'll be waiting. - Okay.
How old is your son?
- He's young. - He's over 40.
Her friend said he's young, but his mom said he's over 40.
(To elders, 40 is very young.)
I think she's really adamant to invite them inside.
- But it can't happen if even one of them is uncomfortable. - Right.
(She's coming.)
(Her son came out.)
- It's nice to meet you. - Hello.
We need to hurry up. It's already...
(They carefully check her son's thoughts.)
- They have to eat dinner. - Can we eat together?
The son who abruptly got their fates in his hand...
What will his answer be?
- Come in. - It's okay.
It is?
(The godfathers succeed first.)
Ho-dong, I won't go far. It's cold today.
- Congratulations. - Bye.
- This is sad. - Have a good time!
Se-hyeong, make sure you succeed.
- Okay! Bye! - Introduce yourself to him one last time.
One, two, three, four.
(Se-hyeong's performance (?) to celebrate their entrance/Feeling compassionate)
(7:00 p.m.: Deok-hwa & Kyung-kyu enter the home that will give them dinner)
Let's go.
- You're very unfortunate nowadays. - That's not true.
It's not true at all. I succeed, too.
I don't have a bad vibe.
- First, let's leave this area. - Okay.
The two older men who properly caught a meal today
enter into a dinner story in Cheonho-dong first.
Goodness. Your mom's friend said you're young, so I thought you were a student.
I was shocked when I heard you were over 40.
Goodness. Anyways, it's nice to meet you and thank you.
- Are you married? - No, I'm not.
- Oh, I saw a photo of a baby. - That's my younger son's baby.
I see.
- He married before your older son. - Yes.
(Mother: Park Hee-ja/67 years old)
We failed a few times, but we managed to naturally enter a home.
Gosh, if you had said no, we would've been in
big trouble. It's getting colder and windier.
What would we have done?
- Did you stay home because it's Sunday? - Yes.
- What do you do for a living? - I work with pizza.
- Pizza? - Yes.
- So you're in the pizza business. - Yes.
- How long have you been living here? - Ever since I was born.
- Wow. You lived here for a long time. - This is your hometown.
- Yes. - Who do you live with?
I live with my mom.
And your brother moved out since he got married.
- I'm sure people will be urging you to get married. - Of course.
- There are many people nowadays who don't get married. - Right.
I'm going crazy. My son is 40.
He doesn't think about getting married. I always ask him why he doesn't.
He said that it's better to live alone.
While the three men are discussing about marriage,
Ms. Park isn't flustered by the new guests and starts to prepare dinner right away.
She presents her glamorous collection of side
dishes and shows off her veteran housewife class.
While the eggs are being fried,
her friend is putting side dishes in plates as if she's the owner of the house.
With their teamwork, dinner is speedily prepared.
How many years have you two been friends for?
- We've been friends for a long time. It's been 30 years. - Goodness.
- I went to the countryside and picked some peppers. - When did you pick them?
I called her over to give her some. Would you like some?
Yes, let's dip them in bean paste.
- There are non-spicy ones. - There are tree onions.
- Yes. - What are these?
- Which ones? - These.
Those are pepper leaves.
- Let's dip them in bean paste. - All right.
- Tree onions are good for you. - Yes.
I'm sorry, ma'am. We were talking.
It's fine. You don't have to apologize at all. It's good to see you.
- I was having a conversation with your son. - Were you?
- I have to wash this. - Isn't that too much rice?
- Just give us a little. - Yes.
(She gives as much rice as she has affection for them.)
- What is that? - Bean paste stew.
- It's bean paste stew. - Looks amazing.
- It's countryside bean paste stew. - I love it.
We ate it in a separate bowl before, so it's fine.
This is countryside chili pepper paste.
- We didn't buy this. - You came at the right time.
(Deok-hwa & Kyung-kyu came to the right house.)
This looks very delicious.
With the mothers' incredible teamwork,
a healthy dinner has been completed quickly.
(Proof shot)
This is a countryside dinner that is perfect for old men's taste that was
created by two best friends in Cheonho-dong who have been friends for 30 years.
Please sit down. Deok-hwa, we have to film a documentary theater now.
We have to watch them eat naturally as if we're not there.
- Get ready. Here we go. - Okay.
Ready? Action!
I put a lot of effort into picking peppers, so eat a lot.
You worked hard to pick them. Thanks to you, I'll eat well.
The steamed monkfish yesterday was good, wasn't it?
- Say yes. - Yes, it was.
The steamed monkfish was delicious yesterday.
Why did you guys eat among yourselves and not give me any?
- You went to work. - That's right. I did.
You cooked too many eggs.
You're supposed to.
Cut!
You guys were very good at talking.
Deok-hwa, we came to have dinner in Cheonho-dong.
- There isn't anything delicious, but please enjoy. - Of course.
- It comes from the heart. - Right you are.
- I'm sorry, but I'll eat first. - Go ahead and enjoy.
I'm hungry and cold.
For some reason, I wanted to make new rice, so I did.
- Really? - We made new rice, but we couldn't eat dinner
because we had to take care of the peppers first.
- Wow. - It's nice to meet you.
- We came right on time. - Yes, you did.
Deok-hwa melts his frozen body and heart by
eating countryside bean paste stew and rice.
Kyung-kyu shows powerful eating with the side dishes.
The food is all-natural, so suit fit my taste.
The bean paste stew is amazing.
(A perfect collection of side dishes made from
fresh ingredients and a mother's cooking)
We always eat things like pickled mustard.
- Pickled plums. - Yes.
It's delicious.
The pepper is spicy.
- It is? - It's spicy?
Judging from how big they are, I think they're farmed.
A farmer in Sangil-dong told me I could pick as many peppers as I want,
so I picked a bunch of them and had a neighborhood party with them.
- That's great. - I gave them to my friends, too. We ate some, too.
- Where is your hometown? - Andong.
Andong.
- Andong, Gyeongbuk. - Yes.
Isn't that the city of aristocrats?
- Where Hahoe Folk Village is. - Hahoe Folk Village.
Is she your friend from Andong?
- She's from Choonamgol. - I'm from Namwon.
- Namwon. - Yes.
- Choonyang. - Yes.
How did you come to Cheonho-dong from Andong?
I met a good husband.
- Your husband? - Yes, he brought me to this good place.
Where is your husband's hometown?
Buyeo, Chungnam.
- Buyeo. - We met from far away.
It's difficult for someone from Andong and someone from Buyeo to meet.
But we still met.
When you watched dramas when you were younger, were you fans of Deok-hwa?
Of course.
- Right? - Of course.
Are you older or younger than I am?
Younger, right? I was born in the year of the dragon.
- Year of the dragon? He's younger than us. - He's the same age as me.
That's why he's younger than me. I'm older than you.
But you look way younger than me.
You're lucky.
Is there a particular drama of his that you remember?
- I've watched many of his dramas. - I did, but...
I usually watch him in historical dramas. I watch a lot of those.
But why are you so young?
- Do I look young? - Yes, why are you so young?
You look like you're 66 years old.
- If I take my wig off, I look 80. - He doesn't even look that old.
I'm telling you I look 80 when I take off my wig!
I know, but you still look young.
I'm guessing your son doesn't talk a lot.
Yes, but he becomes talkative when he's just with me.
- Really? - Yes, but he's on the quiet side.
He said he wasn't going to get married.
- Did you say that again? - He said he won't get married.
- He said he's not going to get married. - Why not?
Were you heartbroken by a girl before?
- Aren't you worried? - I set him on many blind dates.
If he likes the girl, she doesn't like him. If he doesn't like her, she likes him.
- It doesn't work. - It's not easy.
That's why he couldn't get married. There were many wonderful girls, too.
- It depends on how he feels. - Right. I couldn't control that.
- I saw his graduation photo. - He graduated from Dongguk University.
- What? What major? - Really? What major?
- He majored in business. - Goodness! You're my junior!
Deok-hwa, he graduated from Dongguk University!
You little punk! You should've told us sooner!
- Brat. - I'm sorry.
- What year did you graduate? - What year are you in?
- 1990. - 1990?
- 1970 for me. - So you graduated from there.
- I graduated in 1979. - What's the age gap?
- You're his super senior. - I am.
- So you went to the business school. - Of course he did.
So you graduated from our school.
- No wonder you seemed like a good man. - The way he's taciturn...
He's handsome, and he has a good heart, too.
He's living with his mom and taking care of her.
He actually wants to get married, but he's holding back on purpose.
- For his mother's sake. - That's right.
- Is he right? - He'll get married when the time is right.
- You're blessed with a filial son. - Thank you.
So this is how it works out.
Let me go make some coffee. Drink it before you go.
Ms. Park is now serving coffee to the super seniors of her son.
While warm mix coffee is being made to commemorate the special meeting...
these two are wandering around the cold streets looking for dinner.
It's dinnertime, so I think people are making dinner.
I smell boiled food in soy sauce and pork belly.
The scents are being mixed together and coming towards me through the wind.
Ma'am! Let me shake hands with you.
- It's nice to meet you. - I'm former wrestler Kang Ho-dong.
- I know. - And I'm Yang Se-hyeong.
- He's a famous celebrity. - I know.
- Are you coming from the hair salon? - No.
- I just came back from a trip and took a shower. - Where did you for your trip?
I went to Mudeung Mountain in Gwangju.
- There's a lot to talk about that. - It was very cool.
- Mudeung Mountain is amazing, and the air is great. - It's marvelous.
- Ma'am, did you eat dinner? - No, not yet.
So, there are times when we have side dishes and other times we don't, you know?
So we'll go into your house and-
- No, you can't. - Right?
This isn't my house.
- It's your friend's house? - Yes. It's not my house.
- Really? - I had no food at home after coming
home from my trip, so I came to eat here.
- You, too? - You're doing "Let's Eat Dinner Together," too?
- I can't do this. - We'll be going now.
- Bye. - I hope your curls will come out great.
Thank you.
- Bye. - Bye.
(They move to a different house.)
All the lights are on! I have a good feeling about this.
Hurry.
We got it.
Hello!
Hello?
- This sounds like your kind of music. - That's Chakra's song.
Hello?
(No response)
Is this "Let's Eat Dinner Together?"
We already ate. I'm sorry.
- You did? - But why did you just stare at us in the beginning?
Because I was flustered.
Because you were flustered? Do you know who I am?
So you do know me!
We'll show you a live version of it.
One, two, three, four.
(Nimble as a sawedged perch)
- What did you eat for dinner? - Mackerel pike kimchi stew.
(Sounds delicious!)
- How did it taste? - My mother made it, so I ate it deliciously.
- We have no time, so we'll be going now. - Okay. Good luck!
Let's try this one then.
- Hello. - Hi.
I'm comedian Yang Se-hyeong.
- We're just about to go out and eat. - What are you guys going to eat?
- Beef. - Beef? Sounds delicious! Expensive beef!
- I'm comedian Yang Se-hyeong. - I just ate.
(He's eating the cold air instead of dinner.)
- Oh, dear. - Who is it?
Hello!
- Hi. - I'm comedian Yang Se-hyeong. Do you know me by any chance?
- I'm sorry. - Okay, good-bye.
If we don't make it here, we're in big trouble. We must make it here.
- I'm really hungry. - It's past 7 p.m. now.
The golden time is up. From now on...
I don't have a good feeling about this.
It's not like you have bad luck.
I'm very lucky, so I was worried we would end too quickly
today, but I'm surprised by the opposite results.
- Do you usually win or lose in rock-paper-scissors? - I win a lot.
Rock-paper-scissors.
You have good luck. You're luckier than I am. Seriously. I usually don't lose.
Wow. You won right away.
Two men who are overflowing with good luck have
met, but where did their luck of dinner go?
- All the lights are on here. - Yes.
- At this rate, you're going to fail. - Why are you chewing me out?
- We just have bad luck! - Please.
(Nervous/Anxious)
- Who is it? - Hello!
- Hi. - I'm comedian Yang Se-hyeong.
- Yes. - Do you know me?
- Yes. - Hello, ma'am. I'm former wrestler Kang Ho-dong.
- Hi. - Guess what show this is.
- That... - What?
- Dinner? - Yes.
Dinner what? Dinner...?
- "Let's Eat Dinner Together?" - Bingo! You got it!
- You passed the first step. - Okay.
Did you eat yet?
- I didn't eat yet. - You didn't?
- Yes. - You're not a mother, right? You're a student, aren't you?
- I'm not a student. - But your voice is beautiful like a student-
- What apartment number was that? - Beats me.
- What number was it? - Wait a second.
(Fortunately, the apartment number was left on the intercom.)
(With hope, they call again.)
The entrance door has opened.
Ma'am? We're going to go up.
(They ring the doorbell in front of the door.)
- Ma'am? - Yes?
- Hello! - Hello! You have a very nice place!
Is white house the concept of your home?
- You passed two steps. This is "Let's Eat..." - "Dinner Together."
- Did you eat or not eat? - Not eat.
You didn't eat yet. This is the last step then.
- We didn't eat yet either. - It's really cold outside.
Will you be our family tonight?
- We have no rice. - We have no rice.
That's no problem.
That's fine. You can give us ramen or even just flour.
- Who lives in this house? - My husband, son, and me.
- Then her...? - I'm her friend.
- She came over? - Yes.
- Why don't you discuss with your husband first? - Don't feel pressured.
- Discuss with your husband. - We'll be waiting.
(The dice has been rolled!)
What do you think will happen?
- I'm not sure. - You're not sure?
It's half and half.
- I think we're definitely in. - We're not.
- It's half and half. - Seriously?
Let's laugh together.
I'm good at reacting!
(This isn't the time for this!)
It's been a while since I felt my stomach hurt from growling so much.
It's been a while since I felt that.
- She put him on speaker. - He told her to tell us to come in!
- I didn't hear it. - He told her to let us come in!
I didn't hear it.
- Ma'am! - Please hold on!
- Don't rush them! - Please listen to me!
Hold on! Don't say anything!
- Did you just talk to your husband on speaker mode now? - She did.
- Didn't your husband tell you to let us in? - That was my husband.
- Oh, you spoke to your husband on speaker mode? - Yes.
- Sweetie! Sweetie! Sweetie! - Stop it. You're making her uncomfortable.
Will you be our family tonight?
The most important last hurdle of dinner.
Will they be able to pass it?
Will you be our family tonight?
The most important last hurdle of dinner.
Will they be able to pass it?
Yes.
(We did it~!)
- Did you talk with your husband? - Yes.
- What did he say? - To give you guys ramen.
(They're very grateful for ramen.)
Fascinating enough, Ho-dong and Se-hyeong also enter
the dinner story of two friends in Cheonho-dong.
- How old is your daughter? - Five.
Friend.
- You're her friend. - Yes.
I thought you were the owner of the house. You were so
natural, and your friend was the one who was hiding.
That's because...
You know how I'm the knee-drop guru?
They're not just friends. They've been friends for a long time.
They've been friends since school, and they live in the same neighborhood.
- Right. - How long have you guys been friends for?
- They've been close since middle school. - You're right.
- I'm the knee-drop guru. - As expected.
I can tell from the exchange of looks and the comfort level between you two.
But where's your son?
- My mother-in-law is taking care of him. - I see.
- Do you work? - Yes.
- Both you and your husband work? - Yes.
That's why her mother-in-law is babysitting him. So he won't be here today?
I have to pick him up later.
- When your husband comes back? - Yes.
- When does your husband leave work? - At 9:30.
- But he said this was okay? - Yes.
- Thank you. Why is it so cold outside? - They say it will start getting cold today.
- I was shocked. - What's your son's name?
- Jun-ho. - Please sit down.
- How long have you been married for? - You need to guess.
From what I see...
In my opinion...
I feel like they got married while she was pregnant because she's so young!
Are you kidding me? A shotgun wedding?
You brat!
(Desperate punishment to educate (?) him)
- I'm sorry. - It's just that she looks so young!
- How dare you say that! - She just looks so young!
Her parents and in-laws are watching this!
Nowadays, they say premarital pregnancy is like a wedding gift.
(The more he makes up excuses, the more it becomes impossible to fix.)
- I apologize. - From the vibe I got, she's a very thorough person.
Her son is three, but she's been married for five years.
So they enjoyed their newlywed wife for a couple years and then had a baby.
Am I right?
- Premarital pregnancy? - Yes.
(How could this be?)
Why did you hit me? Why? Why?
- Why did you hit me? - One more time!
- Why did you hit me? - I deserve to be hit.
It's just because you look so young.
I don't think anyone will suspect you of being a mom.
That's why I assumed you got pregnant first.
- Where do you live? - My goodness! Let me deal with it!
You're too impatient!
- She lives in Cheonho-dong. - I live in Amsa-dong.
- Amsa-dong? - Yes.
- Are you married? - Yes.
She has a daughter!
Do you think she came here to play all by herself?
I thought she was one of our writers.
I thought she was the junior writer.
Look at her force. She's writing something down.
- She has a writer's force. - That's why.
- You must have seen us through the monitor. - Yes.
- Right. Did you know about this program? - No.
- You don't know about the show at all? - Yes.
- Then why did you open the door for us? - I pressed the wrong button.
(Totally honest)
(The door opened on accident...)
Accident becomes fate. I'm serious.
- An accident? - Yes.
- Then... - My husband...
Wow, the song... Did someone put on BGM?
Don't turn it off. It suits well with the mood.
- It was right on spot. - It's great.
- What were you going to eat if we hadn't come? - Smoked duck.
- You have it? - Yes.
Wait a minute. You changed the menu from smoked duck to ramen because we came?
- Yes. - She's honest. She's very honest.
She's honest. I like that fact about her. I love it!
You guys would've eaten smoked duck, but since we
- came, the menu changed abruptly to ramen? - Correct.
Yes, that's right. From what I can tell,
they're both definitely not over 30 years old.
Are you kidding me?
I'm sure of it.
- I think they're 31. - Hold a minute.
- Then how about you give smoked duck to the winner only? - Sure. Only to the winner.
The winner gets smoked duck and the loser gets ramen.
- Ramen? So we just have to guess right? - Yes.
Okay.
- Then keep our spoons. - And give it to the one who will be eating smoked duck.
(Slightly nervous)
Here you go. You got it right.
- How old are you? - 29.
(Yes! I got smoked duck!)
(Bye-bye, smoked duck./Dazed...)
You have terrible eyes.
You've done this show for a long time. You say
you communicate a lot. Were those just words?
Se-hyeong the guru got former knee-drop guru good.
- How about we guess the age of her friend? - We're the same age!
I think you need to learn this first. Look here.
You know the Korean alphabet? What is this?
Camera. The thing in the front is called a camera.
(Korean alphabet teaching perfect for a 48-year-old man)
It's fascinating that you two are close friends and both got married and had kids-
I got married before her.
- Then what about your husband? - He's working right now.
- Even on a Sunday? - Yes.
- They have that in common, too. - Do they work together?
My husband is the sales manager at the mall.
Your husbands must be close, too.
Right. We eat together, too.
- I think we can slowly prepare the food and eat now. - Okay.
- Would you like us to help you? - Your friend seems like the owner of the place.
Then I guess your husband will eat out most of the time since he works until night.
No, he eats at home.
- He does? Always? - Yes.
Then your husband...
- Let it be. Hold on. - How many meals does your husband eat at home then?
One, two, or three?
- One. - One?
One meal!
(Immersed in method acting)
(Today's main menu, smoked duck appears.)
Cheonho-dong dinner that two similar friends are preparing together warmly.
No matter how close you are, you usually never touch your friend's dishes.
But I guess you guys are more than just close.
The smoked duck for the winner is being fried in sizzling oil.
The ramen for Ho-dong with a bad eye is also in the boiling water.
Wow. Ms. Choi added a spoon of chili pepper in the ramen so it could be spicy.
- Mommy, I want to pee. - I'll cook that.
- Mommy, I want to pee. - You want to pee?
See you later!
(She even brings out delicious-looking ripe kimchi.)
(They prepare the dinner table where they will sit cozily around.)
(A dinner that everyone teams up to prepare/Transporting the smoked duck)
(Let me smell...)
There are perilla leaves as well.
(Take a whiff...)
The smoked duck that is merely a pie in the sky for Ho-dong appears.
(Steaming hot)
The hot ramen also found its place in front of its owner.
- This is swag. - I think you can sip it like this.
Put some green tea in here for him.
- But seriously...I watched this on TV, but it's fascinating.- Right?
It's amazing that they really let us in and give us dinner.
Let's sit down and eat while the rice is being cooked.
This is a delicious dinner in Cheonho-dong with Se-hyeong.
This dinner is for two best friends whose husbands are busy working on the weekends.
It is a smoked duck dinner that is forbidden to runner-up Ho-dong.
(Ramen tea (?) for Ho-dong)
- I just have to stay away from the smoked duck, right? - Yes.
- You're very good at this. - She won't give in.
- Please eat. - Please eat first.
(The owner of the house picks up a piece of the smoked duck first.)
- Please eat. - Okay.
- I'll make a wrap then. - The bottom is a bit raggy.
(He puts a big piece of smoked duck on a perilla leaf.)
(He puts a lot of spicy sauce in it, too.)
(He picks up a crunchy pepper and takes a bite!)
(The duck wrap makes a goal in!)
(Yum~ This is it!)
(Ho-dong, who didn't get permission to eat duck meat...)
This tastes like smoked duck you ordered from a restaurant.
The power of the chili powder, right?
(After eating the noodles, he takes a sip of the soup.)
(This visual is...)
Ramen tea.
(If the ramen soup is coffee, the chili pepper is my T.*.P...)
This is nice.
I feel like the coldness is melting away.
It's melting away? If you eat smoked duck, it disappears.
It's hot and toasty, and the oil just sticks to you.
(One bite of crunchy pepper + one duck wrap)
Se-hyeong is losing himself in the flavor of perilla
leaf wrap with smoked duck and a bite of pepper.
He stops talking for a moment and focuses all his
senses on the perilla leaf wrap with smoked duck.
Ho-dong is in the middle of being immersed in
ramen tea with noodles and a sip of the soup.
(Slurping the noodles)
(He takes another drink of the spicy soup.)
The two friends' meal has become unexpectedly abundant with the arrival of guests.
With your permission, may I give him a wrap?
- I was going to make one for him. - Just one wrap. Please.
He's only eating ramen, but he worked hard.
- Me? Oh, no! - Just one wrap.
I really don't like going against the rules. If
I said I'm not going to eat it, I shouldn't.
I'll just give you one wrap. Instead, that's it. You can't ask for more.
I don't want to. If I have a taste, I won't be
- able to hold back, so I'm not going to eat it. - Seriously?
Beg me then. I don't want to eat it.
Please eat one, Ho-dong. It was cold today.
I like ramen more. If I eat it, I'll be going against my promise.
Please eat one bite.
- Eat it. - Eat it.
I'm begging you! Many of my junior colleagues are watching me!
I really shouldn't.
If they see me treat you poorly, what will they think of me?
Please!
(She gets the wrap.)
(She feed him herself.)
(Then I shall honorably take a bite.)
What? What did I do?
There are only peppers in here!
You can't eat smoked duck. He promised not to eat it.
I told you I was going to give you a wrap.
I never said it's a duck wrap. I said it's just a wrap.
That's why I only gave him perilla leaves and peppers.
(His eyes are tearing up due to the pepper wrap.)
It's even spicier because I didn't know about it!
Ho-dong, I'm a comedian. I must keep the rules!
One wrap. No duck because of what we agreed to earlier.
- You knew about it, didn't you? - I saw him...
(Perfect partners in crime to get Ho-dong)
(He's creating a pepper wrap without Ho-dong knowing.)
(Peek)
Hold on. It's hot.
Real duck for me.
(The energy of the pepper wrap won't go away...)
It's the first time I was fooled by a participant.
You're amazing. You did that in a short time.
Let's get the rice.
I'm going to put rice in here.
- I can do that, can't I? - Of course.
For Ho-dong, who isn't filled up with ramen tea,
white, steaming rice has appeared.
Thank you.
Rice that has just been cooked is the best.
I'm going to take this and put this on top of it right here.
Like this.
You really are good at eating.
- It's hot. - It's hot! It's hot!
Because it was just cooked now.
- You have to blow it more. - Make sure you blow it before you eat it.
While they're eating a hot meal that burns their mouths...
the other group is having deep conversations.
- How many children do you have? - I have a lot. Two sons and one daughter.
- Are they married? - They're all married. I have four grandchildren.
- Four grandchildren. - Yes, they all got married.
- You look healthy and young. - Oh, my. My leg hurt a lot, so I keep rubbing it.
- Why? Your knee? - My knee hurts.
- It hurts a lot? - Yes, it does.
I worked too much while standing up.
- Did you farm? - No.
Then why does your leg hurt?
Because I was did many difficult things trying to survive with my children.
What about your husband?
My husband went to heaven.
Goodness.
- What about your father? - He passed away.
It's been a while since he passed away.
- Your mom must have had a hard time. - Yeah.
Both of us had a hard time.
So you worked while raising your kids.
Yes, my dad did bee keeping.
He took care of his family and stopped later on, but he died early at the age of 62.
My goodness.
- You guys did the bee keeping yourselves? - Yes, we did.
- Where? - There's a place called Gobun Bridge.
- If you just go up two bus stops... - It's in this neighborhood?
- Yes, it is. - We passed by the Gobun Bridge Park earlier.
(They passed by the Gobun Bridge while examining the neighborhood.)
A long time ago, we used to wear boots in that area.
- You did bee keeping behind there? - We did it in that alley.
- Then is that how you two became friends? - No.
We met 30 years ago when our kids were young.
We met when our kids were very little.
Good job. You've worked hard.
- This makes me hang my head. - My friend worked hard as well.
- You raised your two sons and one daughter alone. - She did it all.
My throat is suddenly getting tight.
She, too, raised both her sons on her own.
Did your husband pass away early? At what age did he pass away?
- He passed away much too early. - When?
At the age of 54.
I had to send both of my kids to school and marry off my younger son.
This is the basics of a Korean family.
The parents work out. Unfortunately, both their husbands passed away and...
I'm tearing up...
Then what did you do for a living to raise them?
Sorry? There's nothing I haven't done.
I did everything I could.
- You worked at a restaurant. - I worked at a restaurant and did business as well.
I sold things on the streets and carried things around.
What do you do now?
- My legs are in too much pain, so I can't work now. - So you don't work anymore.
- I can't work. - You retired, right?
- What's wrong with your legs? - They're ruined.
- Sorry? - Your knees?
- My knees and feet hurt. - That's terrible.
I did too much work while standing up.
- For a long time. - For years.
After you work hard so your family can be
comfortable, your body becomes wrecked like this.
I see they keep rubbing their legs.
- She, too, worked for a long time while standing. - So I can't work.
- Did you watch her go through all that? - Yes.
I can understand why you won't get married.
(Deok-hwa is heartbroken thinking about how much they suffered by themselves.)
- But it was worth it because my kids great up well. - I know.
We've settled down now, so it's good.
I only wished my husband would've stayed around longer.
- Of course. - It would've been nice if he was here to see all this.
I'm getting old. How could I tear up over this?
But I've seriously witnessed that a lot.
Women raising children by themselves...
- She also has three kids. - Raising three kids is no joke, right?
The neighborhood calls us "ttosoon moms."
- Really? - I'm sure.
We're different from regular mothers. The people around us call us that.
They lived with fierce determinations that gave them the nicknames "ttosoon moms."
These two mothers were able to survive without their husbands and raise their children
are thanks to each other's friendship.
Even though you may be a bit uncomfortable, you must live for a long time.
- What's the point of living a long life? - Why would you say that?
- I need to live a moderate lie and go. - No, no.
Gather your kids one day. I'll go talk to them.
I'll give them a good scolding.
- Their mother's knees hurt, but these brats... - No, my kids are doing their best.
Deok-hwa, you're getting too involved in this!
You'll understand once you're my age.
But what did you think, Dae-young, when you saw your mom suffering like that?
I helped her out.
He gives me whatever money he makes.
Deok-hwa, he's from Dongguk University.
- You should go on many trips now. - I do that a lot now as well.
You should go on trips and get massages once in a while.
- I don't know if I can do that yet. - Get some facials done.
I'll introduce you to a nice place.
- I guess I have to get a massage at a nice place now. - I'll help you out.
You better help her out. Take good care of her.
- If you go, it's over. - Listen well.
Okay.
He was taking a normal break on a Sunday...
but suddenly, he's being scolded by us.
- Just because he revealed his school. - If you hadn't done that...
then we would've regarded him politely.
But then we started treating him informally right away.
That's why it's good to have gone to the same school.
Please tell us when you met your husband and how you guys got together.
- We met while working. - At the same place?
I was doing a different job but got a temporary job at a store that sold cell phones.
But the one who called me to come for an interview was my husband.
I thought we were just co-workers, but he kept contacting me even after I quit.
- Then you guys got closer? - Yes.
- How long did you guys date? - Not long.
Then Jun-ho happened.
- I see. - I see.
It's a real fact.
So we got married after that.
- You guys are meant to be. - That's how quickly
the heavens wanted to pair you guys up.
That's what I think because even if Jun-ho was made, you guys wouldn't have
gotten married if you didn't trust each other or if there were issues.
- I'm sure you had faith in him. - Yes.
Yes. What did you like about him?
I liked him because he was nice
And back then, I was young, so I told him I didn't want to have a baby,
but despite that fact, he said we should have it.
- Your husband? - Yes, her husband.
It hasn't been long since they dated either.
Realistically speaking, I think Ms. Jung must have been really surprised back then.
Definitely. She's young now, but she was even younger back then.
Weren't your parents against it?
At first, they didn't know I was pregnant, since my stomach didn't show that much.
- But you said you were going to get married? - Yes, I told them that,
but they kept refusing to let me because I was so young.
They didn't know I was pregnant either.
I only told my aunts, and they were the ones who persuaded my mom.
That's how things were able to quickly progressed.
What did your mom say after she found out you were pregnant?
She swore.
(Oh dear...!)
(She roughly expressed her happiness (?))
- What about now? - She's thrilled. After Jun-ho was born, everyone was very happy.
What a relief.
To my husband and me, Jun-ho is a blessing.
Jun-ho came to his young parents like a present.
Thanks to that present, their fate that has become more solid
turned into an eternal vow.
Do I think this happened because of the aunts? I don't think so.
Who played the biggest role in this? I say it's her friend!
- Me? - The topic suddenly changed. Please focus.
Ms. Jung must have been greatly flustered.
- The reality she couldn't handle happened. - Right.
- I think your friend is the first person you went to with this. - You're right.
- You went to see her? - Yes.
- So what did you tell her? - To make the right decision.
Because it's her life.
"It's your choice, so do the right thing."
- Because it's your life? - Yes.
We talked about friends a lot today.
To be honest, this could be the wisest advice.
- That's right. - "It's your life."
- Your daughter wasn't born then because you weren't married yet, right? - She was.
- How old were you when you got married? - 25.
- You married after dating him? - We dated for one year before marriage.
You dated for one year...
Oh, wait a minute!
That's not it, right? You guys didn't get married because you got pregnant, right?
Pardon?
(The two best friends even have this in common.)
You two are amazing.
That's why she told her to do whatever she wants!
Wow! The puzzle pieces are finally coming together now!
The pickled vegetables were a bit crooked.
The final piece has been added, and it fits!
The puzzle has been completed!
- So that's how it was? - Yes.
I see...
Most people get married when they're over their thirties.
What are the positives of getting married early and having a kid early?
I'm asking because I'm at an age to get married, so I'm curious.
If you think about the time later on when your child grows up...
- Right. - That's a positive.
- "If my child is 20, how old will I be?" You can think of it like that. - Right.
You guys are parent and child, but then again, you guys are like friends.
Then what are the negatives? Aren't there none?
There are many things you can't do because you have a child.
Things like, "I don't think I can do that because I have a child."
Even if you make plans, you have to think about them.
- You want to go on trips. - Right.
You want to go on trips, but...
You think about taking your baby with you, but you worry about him getting sick.
- What about you? - Same.
Wow. Cool.
These two have been together since they were
neighborhood friends when they were young.
These girls, who are just as alike as much as the times they've been together,
have become friends who understand each other more as they became mothers.
This is one of my favorite sayings.
"Coincidence becomes fate and fate becomes destiny."
They were destined to become friends through their fates.
We should make her tell us three compliments about her husband.
Time for compliments!
(Embarrassed...)
First.
First, I'm grateful you said we should keep Jun-ho.
Second...
thank you for being thoughtful of my parents.
Third...
thank you for accepting me with a smile even when I get annoyed or angry.
We're supposed to talk about compliments and
disappointments. You have none of the latter, right?
When you come home, you don't play with Jun-ho...
and just play games. I'm disappointed about that.
- Games. - Yes.
- There are many fun games lately. - "Lineage."
- You have to pay for that. - No, he doesn't pay.
- He doesn't? - Yes.
Ms. Jung doesn't do that, so she'll thoroughly keep a check on him.
He'd be in big trouble.
That's the only issue? That can be solved very easily.
- Why? - You can just break his phone.
He works at a store that sells cell phones, so that won't do anything.
Lately, the fall weather-
- Fall. - Give us some tissue, please.
- Fall! - Hold on. Give us some tissue, please.
Don't come, winter!
- Who is it? Your husband? - Yes.
- Hello? - Hello, Da-eun's dad!
Hold on.
- Jin-sang? - Hello?
Jin-sang?
- I'm Kang Ho-dong. - And I'm Yang Se-hyeong.
- Hello. - Hello!
What's your name?
It's Hwang Sung-jin.
But why did she label you as Jin-sang on here? (*Jinsang = rogue)
She wrote the wrong thing.
(He was 100% certain his name was Jin-sang.)
I thought your name was Jin-sang!
- Did you know? - No, I didn't.
We got to talk to you out of the blue, and you gave us great laughter.
Bye, Jin-sang!
- Thank you! - Thank you!
- He has a great voice. - I know. I can tell he's very sweet.
- Why did you label him this? - Just...
In half an hour, Ms. Jung's husband will be off work.
He's the main star. Let's talk with him.
(Connecting to him right away)
It's because it's my mom's phone.
She didn't even add him in the contacts!
Hello?
Hello!
- Oh, hello! - Hello!
- Jun-ho's dad? - Yes.
You must have been flustered. Why did you let us come in?
You guys have to go home, too.
- You're so warm-hearted! - "You guys have to go home." That's a wise saying.
Your wife already said three compliments about you.
Please say three compliments about your wife.
I always come home late, so she and Jun-ho are always home alone.
I'm grateful she always understands me.
Second.
I love you.
You're a man!
(Ho-dong was more touched than her.)
(Excess of emotions)
"I love you."
- Comical gangster. - Comical mafia!
I seriously respect you. I do.
I heard you play cell phone games a lot.
I don't play a lot nowadays. I quit, starting from today.
- Starting from today? - Yes.
- Really? -yes.
- Do you mean it? - I do.
I heard you play with a free character and that
you don't spend money on it. Is that true?
It is.
But you lost all your items now?
- Yes. - Then he really did quit.
He can't play games, even if he wants to.
Unless you pay, you can't play anymore.
Isn't he not doing it for his wife's sake?
He's in break-up mode with his character right now.
I'm a pro.
- He has good timing then. - Yes.
We've never met before,
but I could tell you're a warm-hearted person through your voice.
- Please say something to your wife. - Ji-hye, I love you.
Okay. Bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
You guys are amazing.
The "ttosoon" moms who have been friends for 30
years have something to tell each other as well.
You two have been friends for a long time. Time for compliments.
Well...
We're close and have a lot of affection for each other.
A lot of affection.
I'm always grateful to her because when she
gets anything, she always gives it to me first.
You two are very close friends.
We've been friends for 30 years, but we never argued once.
- Did you guys ever get mad at each other? - We've never gotten mad at each other.
I'm sure there's something you're disappointed about though.
Never have I ever been disappointed in her.
We've never been annoyed or offended by each other.
We get along well.
- We never argued once. - Right.
(A dinner table that is filled with warmth)
We're close to each other than anyone else.
The friends of Cheonho-dong are both similar and
different after long years of being together.
This is to your future daughter-in-law.
Look at the camera and tell her about your son and that she should get married to him.
- To your future daughter-in-law. - To your future daughter-in-law.
If you come here and treasure and love each other,
then I'll be very grateful.
I won't be picky about appearances. I just need you to be pleasantly plain.
- Like me. - Right you are!
- Please consider it. - His contact number will be released!
They'll be contacting our show's home page! The phones will be ringing off the hook!
You should've rested today, but we showed up, and you
must feel more tired. Yet, you feel happy, right?
- My tiredness is all gone. - Really?
- Dae-young! - Yes?
He came down in a track suit, and the moment
he revealed he went to Dongguk University...
(Can't cut off the connection with Dongguk University)
- What about the dishes? - I'll do them.
(Changing the water flow)
I always wash dishes with this flow. With the other one, water sprays a lot.
I should leave this in the water for a bit.
Following Se-hyeong's time of washing dishes
with his solid philosophy of cleaning them,
I can't cook, but I can do things like this.
Please do the dishes, Deok-hwa.
(Like a family)
I have washed them cleanly.
(Perfect completion)
Smile. Are you smiling, son?
You need to look good in the picture so that the ladies will call!
Please smile one more time. One, two, three.
(Smiling widely)
(Commemorative photo time that will remain as a memory)
In affectionate Cheonho-dong, dinner at houses
91 and 92 with best friends have been born.
Thank you for visiting my grandma's house.
I hope you'll have great viewer ratings.
We love you!
Come visit us again to eat smoked duck and ramen!
(Please come~)
- The leaves are... - There are leaves everywhere!
"Go! I said go!" - What are you doing?
"Nothing works out because of you!"
Who are our dinner partners today?
Them!
(It's like a scene from a movie.)
Please pick up these grains for me.
Welcome Red Velvet!
Reve...Red Velve..
- Be more precise. - Red Valve? Red Belt? Red Velve.
You got it!
It says, "Have dinner at Yangjae-dong."
Wow! That house is so pretty!
- I didn't know this place existed. - How amazing.
- The color of the wall fits with fall. - Yes.
It's red, like Red Velvet.
Don't you think so?
This is a compilation of phytoncide.
Yes. The smell of mountains. I need to inhale a lot.
- Tree, aren't you cold? - Tree, aren't you cold?
- The tree is cold! - So cold!
- Don't be like her. - He told me not to be like you!
Irene, do you like conversing with nature as well?
Converse? I think what I see and feel are very important.
(She talks a lot...)
- Just thinking this... - Irene?
- Yes. - Stop.
Irene, what's wrong with you?
(Start ringing doorbells in Yangjae-dong~)
(Joy rings the doorbell first!)
- Who is it? - I'm Red Velvet's Joy.
I don't know who you are.
(The start of a live where it sounds like she swallowed a CD)
Hello?
(How could I be embarrassed from the beginning...?)
Hello. I'm Red Velvet's Irene.
Okay, and...?
- If you didn't eat dinner yet, can we eat with you? - Who are you to eat with me?
(Her mind becomes blank on the first try.)
This place is too hard.
Hello!
- I just moved in. - Oh, you did?
We're moving out.
- We ate dinner and we're about to sleep now. - You're about to sleep?
- You guys can't come in. - I understand.
This is the worst of the worst. The end of the time is approaching.
We're going to speed things up. We can't give up
until the end. We can even succeed at 7:59 p.m.
("Let's Eat Dinner Together"/Wednesday 10:50 p.m.)
It feels like you read a good book, right?
It actually feels like I read the good points of
several books and stepped out of the library.
This was a seriously joyful filming. I was truly happy.
- That was a warm dinner. - That really was.
This is what a true warm dinner is.
But I'm a bit embarrassed in front of you.
No one cried before on this show, huh? Who cries while getting dinner?
It's fortunate I wasn't kicked out of there.
This made me realize this is what living is all about.
- This was a success. - One, two, three! Great!
I don't mind eating dinner like this every day.
Will you eat dinner with the friends of your lives?
