(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.)
In one forest that is filled with red autumn
substances, two men immersed in late autumn has come.
This place is filled with leaves.
- This is Yangjae Forest, right? - Right.
- They're having a wedding. - "Let's Eat Dinner Together!"
We're really popular.
Congratulations! The bride and groom!
I'm a huge fan of you!
- Did you guys come here for a wedding shoot? - Yes!
- Because the leaves are so pretty? - Yes!
- Can we take a picture with you? - Of course.
- Wow! Amazing! - I'm a huge fan!
- I think you'll be really cold. - It's fine!
You should dress warmly.
- What about the groom? - Without the groom?
(He takes off his jacket, too.)
- You look handsome. - Congratulations.
Where's the camera?
- Congratulations! - Thank you.
- Please be happy. - We will!
While everyone is creating memories on top of the carpet of red leaves...
The autumn foliage is beautiful. Doesn't anything come to your mind when you see it?
- Autumn foliage? - Yes.
- "Go! I said go!" - What's this?
"Nothing works out because of you! You're the only one who got a merit!"
- Congratulations, Kyung-kyu! - Did you just do a parody of that?
- You know how Jung Woo-sung did this before. - Oh, Jung Woo-sung?
- Congratulations again for earning the Bogwan Order of Culture Merit. - Thank you.
Now that I got the merit, I feel more responsible. What should I do?
I feel burdened, and I don't know if I deserve it.
(Embarrassed)
- You've certainly changed since you got that! - I really don't know if I deserve it.
I don't even recognize the guests who appear on this show.
And here, women picking up grains are waiting with anxious
hearts in fear that Ho-dong and Kyung-kyu won't recognize them.
- It's them. - Oh, them!
- It's them. - I know them!
The women are acting out a rare and precious sight, as if they are in a movie.
Goodness.
It's not time for them to be picking grains right now.
- Hello! - Hello!
- The man looks like one of the staff members. - If he an idol?
- Pick some grains. - Sorry?
Pick some grains with us.
This guy is a staff member who always works with us.
(Picking grains is best when it's done by three...)
- Do you know what you're doing? - We're working.
- Sorry? - We're working right now.
- So what kind of work are you doing? - We're picking grains.
- Picking grains. - What are grains?
These...
- I'll give them to you as a gift. - So you were picking grains, huh?
Is it like the painting "The Gleaners" by Millet?
- Yes, you're right! - You're right!
- So that's what you were copying. - Yes.
- I know who they are. - Sorry?
For the first time, I know.
- How do you know? - They're Red Velve.
- Red Velve. - Red Valve?
- Be exact, Kyung-kyu.
- Red Belt? - Kyung-kyu.
Red Velvet.
I heard Joy and Irene were coming out.
- So who is Joy and who is Irene? - That, I don't know!
I think... Wait a minute!
- Which one is Joy and which one is Irene? - What does Irene mean?
- It means the goddess of peace. - Goddess of peace.
If you say it first, it makes it seem like you're Irene.
Okay, Kyung-kyu. Which one of them is Irene? One, two, three!
You got it!
(Amazing)
(Not just anyone can get a merit.)
Hey, I've met many idols on this show.
I have a gut feeling now. Irene and Joy.
Let's celebrate. Kyung-kyu has changed.
Just like Kyung-kyu, who changed after receiving a merit, said,
Joy, the endorphin, and Irene, the goddess of beauty, of
hot girl group Red Velvet, have come to fire up the show.
But why are you guys picking grains? Is your new song called, "Picking Grains?"
- That's not it? - That's not it.
We heard an agricultural area was built in Yangjae
with Yangjae Stream in the center.
- Right. - So we pretended to be picking grains.
The red neighborhood they will go to with Red Velvet is...
Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul.
Yangjae-dong, where many benevolent and talented people live in,
is the door and major traffic point between Seoul and the countryside.
In the early '80s, luxurious villas were formed,
and Yangjae Stream, Yangjae Forest, and Maljukgeori Park were created.
In this popular place with a wonderful scenery and resting place,
will they be able to taste the red flavor?
"Let's Eat Dinner Together" episode 57: Red Flavor.
- It's been a while since you walk in a place like this, right? - Yes.
This was all made from our tax money.
(Wet blanket)
That's refreshing.
Yangjae Forest is huge.
Of course. Yangjae Stream is very long.
Carp and catfish are in here.
- There are carps in Yangjae Stream? - Of course.
- It's a really nice place to live. - It is.
- I used to live here. - Really?
In my college days.
My relatives lived in Maljukgeori.
- Did it look different back then? - It was a farmland.
- Farmland. - It was a farmland then?
It was an agricultural area before, and the third Han River Bridge is...
"The river flows." Do you know that song?
- Yes. - "Below the third Han River Bridge."
What is the title of the bridge right now?
- It's Hannam Bridge. - I see.
From the Hannam Bridge, the Gyeongbu Expressway was built.
Then Yangjae has become developed like this.
Yangjae, which used to be full of mountains and agricultural lands, has now become
extremely modernized due to the construction of the
Gyeongbu Expressway and third Han River Bridge.
That is how it came to look like this today.
- Did you guys eat lunch? - Not yet in order to eat dinner.
- You guys skipped lunch to eat dinner? - Yes.
- You guys didn't eat? - Yes, we don't eat breakfast.
Why not? You should.
Because we like to sleep more, so we sleep more during that time.
- But we do this often. - That's not good.
Is there anything you can't eat, Irene?
- I can eat everything but chicken. - Chicken?
- Oh my gosh! - Chicken?
- Yes. You scared me. There's a car coming. - That's not good!
- Why don't you eat chicken? - Kyung-kyu adores chicken!
Hey! You should eat chicken! It's okay if you don't eat pork.
Why don't you eat chicken?
When I was little, there was one time when my mom ordered chicken for us every day.
I ate it...and it came right back out.
- You got sick. - Yes. Ever since then, I can't eat chicken.
- What about things like duck? - That's fine.
- Just not chicken? - I just can't eat chicken.
- Some of my friends don't eat kimchi. - Why not?
Just like Irene, when they were little, their moms forced them to eat kimchi.
Oh. That's why I hate vegetables.
- Your mom told you to eat a lot? - She forced me to eat a lot of vegetables.
I should've naturally ate it.
Parents do that.
I didn't study because my parents kept telling me to study.
They kept telling me to study, so I got mad and went, "I'm not going to!"
You got a merit.
(That's right...!)
You should say good things.
Ever since I was little, my mother would tell me to study, but due to circumstances...
I should've brought that merit with me today.
The one who was bestowed with the merit, endure the burden.
Let's go into the real estate agency. It's one of our segments.
So you guys really do go to real estate agencies.
We need to go to real estate agencies in order to know about the area.
- Hello, sir! - Wow! It's been a while since I came here.
- Hello. - Hello.
- I heard there was a luxurious villa here. - It's right over there.
It's not a single residence. It's a villa.
- In the back, there are stores and houses. - Stores and houses.
There are offices there as well.
Do you know what kind of people live in those luxurious villas?
People who were wealthy in the '60s an '70s.
High officials live there.
High officials.
Many different kinds of people live in Yangjae.
- Shim Eun-ah used to live here. - Right.
Oh Sung-sik used to live here as well.
The man who sang, "What's Wrong With My Age?"
- Who? - That's Oh Seung-geun.
That was Oh Seung-geun. Oh Sung-sik is an English lecturer.
I'm not familiar with English.
Today is Sunday. Won't many people be home tonight?
That's a hit and miss.
It's Sunday, so they might be home, but then again, they could be eating out.
There are many variables.
Where is the boulder of Maljukgeori?
It's where Yangjae Station is.
- Can we see it if we walk there? - It will take seven to eight minutes.
If we walk there.
Maljukgeori, named after the travelers who fed porridge
to heir horses there, is Yangjae-dong's old name.
What is the proportions of apartments, houses, and villas in Yangjae?
According to the map,
there are barely any apartments here.
There are either houses or villas.
Thank you.
I thought there are many apartments, but there aren't.
- Thank you, sir! - Thank you.
There are houses here.
Wow! The houses are beautiful!
There's a huge difference between this side of the road and that side of it.
- It's really different. - It is!
If you go one block past the business area,
there are the houses in one corner of the dense buildings.
It faces the water with its back to the mountain.
With villa towns constructed in the Seorae Village behind the lofty buildings,
it has a similar landscape as the Samseong-dong houses in the middle of the city.
The houses are really pretty.
I want to live in a house like this and not an apartment.
- With a yard? - Yes.
I think all the houses are built from brown bricks.
Back then, the buildings were constructed at the same time,
so the manufacturer decided to put up the same walls.
- They were made at the same time. - Yes.
At that time, the red bricks were symbols of fortune.
- Oh. - They're all made of red bricks.
- It fits with the autumn theme. - Yes.
- With the autumn foliage, right? - Right.
- It's Red Velvet. Don't you think so? - Yes.
- The brick is bit red. - The autumn foliage is beautiful.
(A neighborhood where the red walls fit well with the autumn foliage)
(Yangjae-dong is filled with red and welcomes Red Velvet.)
Look at the bamboo.
(The harmony between bamboo and red brick walls)
- Kyung-kyu, this is part of the interior, too. Quince. - Quince.
(The quince on top of the wall ads onto the autumn emotions.)
We filmed our new music video in LA in a large residential area.
- But if we filmed it here, we could've gotten the same scenery. - Of course!
You guys wasted money. You guys totally wasted money.
You don't need LA! You could've filmed it here and added English in it.
You should've filmed it here! The production fee!
- I heard that you were shocked when you first met Irene.
- Yes. - Why?
- Because she was pretty? - Yes.
- Irene, do you like yourself? - Pardon?
Do you think you're pretty?
Well, I like myself.
Joy, since when did you realize you were pretty?
- Me? - Yes.
Ever since I was little, I thought I was pretty.
- You had the confidence. - Yes.
- Why? - Because people kept saying I was pretty.
I thought I was the prettiest in my neighborhood.
But when I entered my agency, everyone was pretty,
so I realized I was a girl of limited scope.
- I realized there were prettier girls than me. - In my case...
I thought I was the funniest, but I realized
there were plenty of funnier people than me.
That's what happens.
I had the biggest face in my neighborhood.
When I came here, my face was still the biggest.
Then you're the best.
- This is pretty, too. - Yes, it is.
- Wow, what's this? - Someone must have made it. It wasn't naturally made, huh?
- Wow. This place is really cool. - Many weddings take place here.
I came here for weddings before.
This is a famous church where you can see Yangjae-dong's houses in one glance.
Please don't let tonight's dinner clash with worship service.
- This neighborhood won't be easy... - Yes.
like Samseong-dong.
- I don't have a good feeling about this. - Many elders live here, too.
There are many elders who have difficulty preparing dinner for others.
This is Maljukgeori Park.
(A park located in Umyeon Mountain./The trail is the specialty!)
- Shouldn't we go up? - What?
- Shouldn't we go up? - Of course not! It's too far!
We need to show the viewers though.
- Let's not all go up. - Okay.
- We'll play rock-paper-scissors. - Only one person.
The winner can pick the one to go along with two VJs.
- They can choose? - Yes.
- Okay. The winner? - The winner.
- If I'm the winner, but I want to go, I can go. - Right.
Rock-paper-scissors!
Rock-paper-scissors. If you lose, you go to the park!
(Ho-dong & Joy won.)
Okay, we're the winners!
(Ho-dong & Joy will play one more game.)
I'm going crazy. It's definitely me.
Rock-paper-scissors. If you lose, you go to the park!
(Ho-dong is the final winner.)
Darn it.
I choose you, Lee Kyung-kyu!
(Chosen to be the park explorer)
- All the way to the top. - Come here.
(Goes back step by step)
He doesn't want to go!
(I don't want to go.)
(Shakes his head)
- He said he doesn't want to go! - Come here!
- Kyung-kyu. - He has some nerve.
I get to choose the two VJs to go with you.
- So funny. - You're the loser, so if you tell him to come, he won't.
I get to pick, right? Okay. You.
You can pick one more VJ to go with you.
Film him. Who will you choose?
Who...?
(The last member has been chosen.)
- Go on. - Bye.
Bye.
Did you see him? Kyung-kyu told him to come, but he was like...
I know!
(The lucky man who is heading towards the park)
"During the Joseon Era, the people red to Gongju due to Yi Gwal's rebellion.
The people ate porridge on horse, and was hence given this time.
In Chinese characters, it's called Maljukgeori."
(Got the information)
(The unavoidable time of hiking up the park)
Do you want to go to the top with Kyung-kyu, Irene?
I'd like to look around the neighborhood more.
(Bye, Irene.)
(She keeps thinking about Kyung-kyu's back.)
I'll be back.
- Wow! Great! - Bye!
Wait for me! Mr. Lee Kyung-kyu!
Irene, don't run!
Mr. Lee Kyung-kyu!
(The man who never looks back even if Irene calls him)
Why are you running so fast?
Oh, dear.
(While Kyung-kyu and Irene are voluntarily hiking up the park...)
Thank you!
- Way to go! - Way to go!
- Feels good, doesn't it? - Yes.
- Since the neighbors welcome us. - I think things will go well tonight.
(A sight you can see in Yangjae-dong on Sunday)
A long time ago, was there a park in the back of your house?
When I used to live in Daegu, there was a mountain near my house.
So every Sunday, I would go on a hike with my dad and younger sister.
- When we came back, my mom always made kimchi fried rice for us. - Good, right?
Yes. I always remember eating that.
When I was little,
there was a mountain in the back of my house.
Before I went to school, I would go up that mountain.
I would get spring water and give it to my mom.
I was a filial son. That's why I got a merit.
(While talking about his merit, the two of them arrive at the top of the park.)
Those are the brick houses we went around.
Yes, they are.
- We went around the block. - Yes.
This is nice.
(They feel satisfied after coming up.)
The hike up the Maljukgeori Park that was supposed to be a punishment
gave them the gift of a beautiful scenery filled with brick walls and autumn foliage.
Maljukgeori.
- Ho-dong. - Did you have a good time?
- We went to the top. - How was it?
- It was nice. We saw everything. - It's great!
- Go. Go see for yourself. - You can see all the brick houses.
- Her complexion looks great after going up there. - I know.
- You can see all the brick houses. - It's very nice.
Wasn't it nice that you lost to rock-paper-scissors?
It was nice that I voluntary went up there.
As someone who got a merit, I voluntarily went up there.
I think I made the right decision of voluntarily following you up there.
- The PD said to stop, but I scolded him. - By you.
"We have to go all the way up there! Is that how you run a show?"
The PD cried.
(This is the merit's class.)
- Strangely enough, you two make a very good team. - I think so.
- You guys naturally became a team. - I presided the merit ceremony.
(The chemistry between a moderator & person recognized for services)
- The teams are decided today. - Yes.
- In Yangjae-dong with super star Red Velvet, "Let's Eat..." - "Dinner Together!"
The city has become surrounded in darkness.
The time of uncertainty has come.
Because of the weather, I have a bad feeling about this.
- Is it just because of the weather? - It became dark.
- Out of the blue. - It became dark, and it's cold.
- When you're cold and hungry, you become sad. - I know.
And the brick walls in this neighborhood give us that kind of a vibe...
- But I'm sure all cities are the same. - They are.
- Let's go. - Okay, let's go.
It's dark, so I can see a lot of homes with lights on.
Among the many lit-up homes, will they be able
to find a home that will give them dinner?
- Hello. - Hello.
Out of the many people here, you're the first one we get to meet.
- This isn't my house. It's a studio. - Oh, a studio.
- It's not a house? - Yes.
- Is it a photo lab? - Yes, it's a wedding studio.
- A wedding studio? - Yes.
It's a place where you take photos of happiness.
- You know how a couple got married earlier? - Yes.
(We didn't get married yet.)
- So this is a studio. - I'm pretty sure everyone here ate already.
- Why? - Because they're elderly people.
Still, how could everyone have eaten dinner at 6 p.m.?
- A chairman lives next door. - Which chairman?
- I don't know. - Okay, so a chairman lives here.
There are many of those kind of people living here.
We're kind of in trouble.
- See you next time. - Yes, please go on.
(They can predict obstacles to get dinner in Yangjae-dong.)
I think people are home over there.
(The four of them came to a stop in front of a grand gate./Feeing nervous.)
Get ready. Hold on.
There you go.
(Thump thump)
(They can take a peek at the yard from between the gate.)
Even if we go in, we have a long way to walk.
It will take 10 minutes from here to get indoors.
- Let me see. - Ten minutes.
Right?
Maybe no one is home.
"Visitors, please go to the security office."
Let's go.
How big is the house? Is it all of this?
- This is too hard. - The light is on in this house.
- The light is on. - It is.
(Irene's first attempt.)
The gate opened...
- Talk here. - Hello! I'm Red Velvet's Irene!
- Come in. - Come in? She told us to come in!
- Go inside. - Excuse me.
- They opened the gate. - Wow. The house is pretty.
(Everyone is staring at the house in awe.)
- The yard is... - You can go that way, Kyung-kyu.
If they get to go in, it'd be amazing. They're eating right now.
(They opened the gate while they were eating.)
- Hello, ma'am. - Hello!
- I'm Lee Kyung-kyu. - Hi. What brings you here?
- She's an idol. - Hello. This is JTBC...
Our program is "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
- Oh, no. I have to leave right now. - Where? To church?
- Yes. - I see.
- I'm busy preparing to go outside. - Really?
- I see. - You came to the wrong house.
Goodness. All right.
- Ma'am, your front yard is beautiful. - Right. You have a beautiful home.
- Hello. - We're from "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
- Oh, no. - I know.
- What's your name? - She's Irene from Red Velvet.
- It's nice to meet you. - You're beautiful.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Ma'am, do we go to the next house through there? - Go through here.
- Really? - That family has children as well.
- It's our turn! - We'll go there, ma'am. Where do we go?
Right here?
- Thank you, ma'am. - Thank you!
- Bye. - Where's the doorbell? Oh, it's right here.
Calm down. Calm down.
If we succeed here, it's all thanks to her, right?
Tell them we were introduced by their neighbor.
- Who is it? - Hello? Ma'am?
Hello!
Hello. I'm Red Velvet's Joy.
We're a program that eats dinner with you...
I'm sorry, but we just moved, so we're unpacking right now.
Oh, you're moving. Are you moving in or out?
We're moving back in here.
I see.
My family lives in Cheongdam-dong,
and I heard you came there as well.
Wow. I guess we are fated, aren't we?
I'm sorry. What do I do?
We'll meet again next time.
- My daughter loves Red Velvet. - Really? Thank you.
I'm sorry when it's so cold.
It's fine. Please close the door. We'll be going now.
Her family lives in Cheongdam-dong, but we rang their doorbell.
We're very tenacious, aren't we?
(They try the house next door right away.)
I'm nervous.
- No one must be home. - I guess no one is home.
Okay, we can do it. We're just flustered right now because it's cold and dark.
There are many times we went into a house at 7:55 p.m.
- Really? - Yes.
We're people who make miracles.
- Our turn. - No. You guys talked too much.
- What? - Come here.
- You rang the doorbell just now. - When?
- Joy's fans called. If you don't keep the order... - No.
Merit.
Please continue. I forgot.
(They desperately ring the doorbell together.)
- The light is on. - Who is it?
- Hello! I'm Red Velvet's Joy! - Slow down.
Sir, I'm former champion Kang Ho-dong.
- Hi. - Judging from your voice, you sound like a student. Am I right?
No.
Your voice looks really young! Wait, that's the wrong expression. What do I say?
- Your voice is great. - Your voice sounds young.
- I see. - The thing is...
- Do you know Red Velvet? - I don't.
Sing your song for him.
(She's giving her all into singing "Red Flavor" live in front of the doorbell.)
- You know her now, right? - No, I don't.
We're in big trouble. Anyways, do you know the program "Let's Eat Dinner Together?"
- Yes, I do. - Did you eat dinner yet?
Hello?
I'll ring it one more time. It must turn off automatically after a certain time.
Yes, we already ate.
- Okay. - Thank you.
- Have a wonderful night. - Thank you.
- Bye.
- You could've gone in.
You smell meat, don't you?
Smell it.
- I can smell it! - I smell beef.
- This is beef grease! - Right? This is the smell of beef.
This is sirloin grease.
Just like the lambs in the mural on the church,
the four of them are desperate for a divine dinner.
- It's getting harder. - It's our turn now.
- "Beware of savage dogs!" - "Beware of savage dogs!"
Ring the doorbell, Kyung-kyu.
The light is on.
- Who is it? - Hello? Hi!
- Irene. - Ma'am.
Hello! I'm Irene from Red Velvet.
- Who is it? - Hello.
- Hello? - We're from JTBC's "Let's Eat Dinner Together..."
(The house owner came out after hearing the commotion.)
- Hello! - Hello! I'm Lee Kyung-kyu.
So cute!
- It's nice to meet you. - So cute!
You know me, don't you?
(Suddenly, the house owner spills a list of names.)
Do you guys know each other?
(He's Kyung-kyu's acquaintance!)
Bangbae-dong, right?
- You live here? - Yes.
- You should eat here. - Did you eat dinner?
Will Kyung-kyu's acquaintance, who he met coincidentally, be his savior tonight?
Bangbae-dong, right?
- You live here? - Yes.
- You should eat here. - Did you eat dinner?
(Will they be able to get dinner at his acquaintance's house?)
We already ate out.
- But you met your acquaintance! - We met in twenty something years.
When we lived in Bangbae-dong, all the guys used to hang out together.
- So you guys met again after 20 years? - It's been nearly 30 years.
It's been 30 years, so how could you have eaten already?
- It's Sunday, so I ate out. - Oh my god.
- You should've called me. - Thanks anyways.
- See you next time. - All right.
Thank you!
- The dog was cute. - You guys met in 30 years.
It's too bad.
Ho-dong, it was epic that I ran into someone I know, but why can't I eat dinner yet?
- I know. That's so odd. - That was out of the blue.
It's about time Kyung-kyu and I split into our individual battles.
There's not enough time to go around together.
Yangjae-dong isn't easy. Now, they go into their own individual battles.
(Current time 7:10 p.m.: beginning of the individual battles)
Here.
Make sure your face is in the middle. You can take it slow. Let's explain slowly.
- Who is it? - Hello, I'm Red Velvet's Joy.
Right now, we're filming "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
Ma'am, I'm former champion Kang Ho-dong.
- Hold on. - Sure.
Good. Good. She's coming.
The important thing is whether we'll be able to eat dinner or not.
- Yes. It's late now. - It's 7:10 p.m.
(The time is growing urgent, and so are their hearts...)
- Who is it? - Ma'am?
- Hello, ma'am. Do you recognize me? - Yes.
This is Red Velvet's Joy.
- I see. - Hello.
This is a program where we go around the neighborhood and try to
find a home we can go into and talk about various topics over dinner.
We already ate dinner.
- Right? Did you have a good dinner? - Well...it was just dinner.
I see. Then we'll have to be on our way now.
- Okay. - Yes.
- I met you before. - Where?
You ate with my dad before.
- Who is he? - He's Kim...
- Oh, yes! This is his house? - Yes.
- Oh, I see! And you already ate? - Yes.
(This is an unbelievable situation...)
Then I'll see you next time.
- Good-bye then. - I'm sorry. Bye.
(The more he thinks about it, the more amazed he is...)
- Why? - Kyung-kyu met someone he knows.
- Yes. - This is my close friend's house.
- Really? - He's my close junior.
(Amazing)
That's amazing.
Acquaintances keep appearing, but there's no
sight of the family who will give them dinner.
- Should we try this house? - Sure.
(She's ringing the doorbell for their individual battle.)
Please...
- Who is it? - Hello. I'm Red Velvet's Irene.
- What's this about? - I'm from the program "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
What's going on?
If you didn't eat dinner yet, can we eat with you?
Who are you to eat with me?
This is a program where you eat dinner together and talk about various things.
- I'll come out for a moment. - It's cold! You don't have to come out! It's okay.
- As I was coming home, I saw people filming. - Oh, yes.
- Hello! - Hello.
- Hello.
- I'm Lee Kyung-kyu. - Yes.
- I took a cab home. - I see.
And on my way here, I saw someone filming something.
I was wondering what it was.
- Did you watch our program before? - Of course. I watch it often.
This is that show.
Yes. After seeing you on TV, you look much more handsome in person.
- Oh, no. She's from an idol group. - Yes, I recognize her after seeing her face.
- I see. - I just came home, you see...
- All right. - Thank you.
- It's cold, so you should go inside. - Yes.
- Bye. - Good luck. Thank you.
(It's already 7:32 p.m.!)
(Team Ho-dong rings the doorbell to a different house.)
Joy, what if both teams don't make it? This has never happened before.
We'll make it, right?
(Just then, the lights turn on...)
- Hello. Sir? Ma'am? - What brings you here?
Hello, I'm champion Kang Ho-dong.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello, ma'am! - Hello.
- We're here for... - Is it the dinner show? We saw it before.
- Did you eat? - We did.
(The mood was great...)
When did you eat dinner?
(This is the time when many families will be done eating dinner.)
- Do you know "Let's Eat Dinner Together?" - Of course I do.
- Great! - We ate dinner, and we're about to go to bed right now.
You're about to go to bed?
What time did you eat dinner?
At 5:00 p.m.
- Goodness! You ate really early. - I'm sorry.
It's fine. Thank you!
We already tried here, right?
- Did we? - Did we?
All the houses look the same. I think we did it already.
(They just continuously wander around...)
Excuse me, sir.
It's Sunday, so many people went to church.
- Look at the people over there. - Are they doing bible study?
Many people went to church.
Is church worship the show's greatest rival yet again?
- Joy. - Yes?
- I have a bad feeling. - Me, too.
Your name is Joy, but...
(But this isn't a joyful situation at all...)
(The time, weather, and worship service...do not help them at all.)
- The light is on. - Is this the house from earlier?
I have no idea.
(Even their eyes aren't helping...)
This place feels like where we came in the beginning.
(It's already 7:42 p.m.)
Did we go around the neighborhood?
Oh, hold on.
How did we end up meeting here?
After circling around the neighborhood, it seems like they're really about to go nuts.
What do we do, Kyung-kyu? I'm getting a bad vibe.
If neither of us succeed, this will be the first time this has happened.
I feel like there aren't many houses left.
What we need right now in our mentality is the Pygmalion Effect.
- We need to keep thinking we can do it in order to really do it. - We can do it.
A positive mind.
- A convenience store. - Why do we keep seeing convenience stores? Geez!
Let's speed things up, Kyung-kyu.
We can't give up until the end! We can even succeed at 7:59 p.m.
In the end, they couldn't overcome the brick walls and go to
the villas across the street 15 minutes before time ends.
(They unite to ring the doorbell.)
(A majority of the houses aren't responding...)
Let's go.
(Ho-dong goes upstairs and Kyung-kyu moves to another villa.)
(There are only 12 minutes until the end time!)
- Why is the bell broken? - They're all broken.
It's broken. They're all broken.
(It's the same for the other villa.)
- There is no response. - Oh, my.
(He tries again.)
There is no response.
We already ate dinner.
Just once, please!
We already ate.
- You did? - Yes.
There is no response.
Let's go. This is the worst of the worst.
(10 minutes before the end time!)
If this doesn't work, it's over. It has to work, Joy.
(They have nowhere else to go now...)
(Anxious...)
- Both teams have never failed before. - Really?
Hello? Sir?
- The door just opened. - They want us to come up.
They just opened the door for us.
(They go right up and ring the doorbell.)
Wow, another miracle...
- Hello! - Hello, sir!
You're flustered, aren't you? It's all right. I'll explain this to you. Ma'am?
- We're from... - "One Meal?"
- "One Meal!" "Let's Eat Dinner Together!"
- We didn't eat yet. - Really?
- We have nothing prepared. - It doesn't matter.
- Let me change my clothes! - Take your time! Then...
Oh, my! What do we do? Would fried eggs be okay?
- Yes! - We just need water!
- Oh my goodness! - Ma'am! Sir!
Oh my goodness! How can this be?
Whether you have food or not, will you become our family tonight?
Yes!
- Will you become our family tonight? - Yes!
Thank you!
- I'll close the door. - Thank you.
We did it!
(A miraculous success!)
I told you! The Pygmalion Effect! If you think it will work, it will! What time is it?
It's 7:51 p.m.! Nine minutes were left!
(Amazing!)
This is Red Velvet's class!
- So it really works. - They're really happy.
Yes.
- This is great! She's really warm-hearted! - Yes.
Since they really hoped for it, the Pygmalion Effect
took place nine minutes before the ending time.
- Come in. - Sir!
The weather is cold, but this is the warmest house in Yangjae.
There's a picture of an airplane coolly hanging here.
(Small and cute)
They came into the miraculous dinner story of one middle-aged
couple in Yangjae who has many exotic props in their home.
Thank you for inviting us inside.
Hello!
(Jo Chung-ja)
(Na Yong-gon)
- You two totally transformed! - Hello!
(His hair has become calm.)
I really have no idea what to do. We don't have many side dishes today either.
The doorbell rang, so I just opened the door.
My husband saw you on the monitor, and he was
like, "Why is Kang Ho-dong at our house?"
- So I was like, "Oh, 'One Meal'!" - "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
Yes, that's right!
- I really watch it a lot. - You do?
- Yes. - Both teams were about to fail for the first time.
- Yes. - But you opened the door for us with a warm heart.
But Ms. Jo, why didn't you guys eat earlier?
We ate lunch late, so we were waiting to eat dinner later.
What were you going to eat for a late dinner?
- Meat. - Really? Wow!
- Beef. - We were talking about sirloin earlier.
(This is what a dinner miracle is!)
- Do you know who she is? - Red Velvet.
- Honestly, I don't know her name. - My name is Joy.
How do you know Red Velvet though?
- I watch "Music Bank." - You do?
- What is your favorite idol group? - Red Velvet.
Hi-five!
(He has a good sense)
What is this? What is this drawing?
Honey, just tell them. It's for your last commemoration.
Can we see this and guess what your job is?
- Go ahead. - That way, it's fun.
Meanwhile, the kitchen is filling up with the smell of today's main menu beef.
Can I help you with anything?
- Just grill the meat for me. - It looks delicious!
I want to do it with you.
Joy helps Ms. Jo and does her best to grill the meat.
You're good at grilling the meat. My goodness.
- These are salted clams. - Yes.
- Manila clams, right? - Right.
Hungry Ho-dong lingers around the kitchen and
reviews the side dishes he'll be eating soon.
It looks delicious!
(Joy grilled it deliciously.)
The two men also join in setting the table.
They all prepare a miraculous dinner that they achieved at the doorstep of failure.
- Mr. Na, did your children move out? - I have two grandchildren.
- They're not photos of your children? - They're my grandchildren.
- Then how many children do you have? - One.
- A son. - One son.
As soon as I came in, the first thing that caught my eye was this photo.
My job was caught.
Yes. Many of your junior colleagues...
" Congratulations on the plane right of your new life."
"Be happy. I hope you'll always be healthy."
"Please be healthy for the rest of your long life. Congratulations."
Wow. These are very moving.
"The blue sky and pure heart are all yours."
- Right? - I'm getting touched!
So then you're a pilot?
If you look at that, you'll get the answer right away.
(His job that he was shy to say was...)
(Pilot)
- You graduated from the military academy. - That's right.
"1997: The Very Best Battalion."
- You look amazing in this picture. - That's my son.
(Wrong guess.)
(He was properly corrected for his assumptions.)
You should've looked at it carefully.
Father is son and son is father.
Anyone could tell he's an artilleryman.
Still, he looks cool. He's manly.
He's a bit better-looking than I am. That's fortunate.
(An appearance upgrade after one generation/Handsome)
- Should I take a guess? - Sure.
He looks like someone who respects his father. I think he followed in your footsteps.
So he's a pilot right now. Am I right?
I acknowledge you as a guru.
(His son is currently a civil aircraft pilot.)
Your wife told me in the kitchen.
(He honestly confesses about Ms. Jo's comment.)
I'll guess what kind of job your husband has in a little bit.
Okay. Our son has the same job as him.
(I was fooled.)
- What is that? - It's the aircraft I used to fly.
It's so cool! Wow!
This is the red muffler I've always heard about.
- I can clearly see it today. - Yes.
Wow. This feels like a museum. There are memories in every corner.
(The helmet and uniform hat Mr. Na actually wore)
Wow. You wore that uniform hat.
At one time I did.
- May I wear it once? - It won't fit!
- Still... - Your wife said I should give it a try.
It was made to fit my husband's head.
(Carefully)
Sir, please take it.
(Fascinated)
He went to military academy.
- You're going to wear this? - With all due respect, may I?
Go ahead.
- Then, I shall... - It's going in!
- No, it won't. - It stretches, so it will fit.
Like this? Do I look cute, ma'am?
(Pigsy has been summoned!)
This won't close.
This won't work.
(They can't even find such a big size in Itaewon.)
- Joy, do the honor. - May I wear it?
- This is a huge honor. Do you give her permission? - It will go right on her.
(She transformed into a pilot.)
- Sir, please clasp that on for her. - You look very cool!
- Done. - She looks so cool!
- Look at the camera. - This is bomb!
- Pretend you're flying an airplane. - How do you fly one?
(He even gives her a replica of a piloting joystick!)
I'm taking off now! Go!
(She's descending.)
- Aren't you going down? - It's going down.
(Happily falling)
(How cute)
Take a picture. This is a precious photo.
Whoa, I look cool!
You really do look cool!
One, two, three.
(Single shot)
(Cute pilot that made a landing to eat dinner in Yangjae-dong.)
- Can I wear that? - You want to wear that too?
Turn around. Wear it and then turn back around.
- All right. - She's so pretty.
Ready. Action!
(Airforce officer overflowing with voluptuous beauty)
(Gather around)
(Enjoying the moment by herself)
- It really looks good on you. - Really? I should take a picture then.
- Yes, you should. - I should capture the memory.
Let's take another picture together.
Thank you.
On the upcoming 28th, that will be his final flight.
(You can only fly planes until you're 65 years old.)
- It's my farewell flight. - Yes.
(His farewell flight is scheduled for November 28.)
- I only have one flight left. - One?
One farewell flight.
How could this kind of fate happen?
So I want to thank you guys.
I wondered what I should get him for a gift.
I thought about getting him a nice car, but just
by you being here, I think I gave him a gift.
Thank you so much. I don't have any special foods.
- Congratulations, honey. - Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Kang Ho-dong. I got Kang Ho-dong as a gift.
I got Joy as a gift, too.
How else would you dare to meet such incredible people?
- I guess a farewell flight is a good thing, after all. - Right?
While they're immersed in the pilot's farewell flight...
these two are facing a farewell to the time of ringing doorbells.
Red Velve.
(Dingdong)
(They feel a presence in the home.)
Oh, dear. I guess you moved in. Hello. I'm Lee Kyung-kyu.
- Did you move in? - Yes.
Did you eat? You have a lot of things to unpack. I apologize.
- Please carry on. - Okay.
Why are there so many people moving into this neighborhood?
(They go upstairs and try the next house right away.)
- Who is it? - Hello.
- Who is it? - I'm Irene from the idol group Red Velvet.
- Oh, my. Hello. - Hello. Did you move in?
Actually we're moving out the day after tomorrow.
(Today is moving day.)
- All your things are out. - We put all our things out.
- All right. - I'm sorry.
No, it's fine. You have to move.
- It's nice to meet you. - Thank you.
(As soon as they're done talking, he moves onto the house next door!)
(Dingdong)
- Who is it? - Hello. I'm comedian Lee Kyung-kyu.
We're from the program "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
(The door opens up noisily...)
- Hello! This is Red Velvet. - Hello. I'm Irene.
- Do you know our program? - I didn't eat yet.
I know, so will you give us the honor of letting us eat with you?
- Who is home, by the way? - My boyfriend came over.
I see. Why don't you ask him?
(I think we'll make it!)
No, right? I understand.
- Thank you. - I love "Red Flavor."
- Really? Thank you. - All righty then.
(Unfortunately, they failed again...)
(Plunk downwards)
This is a really diverse day.
(There are only 8 minutes left!)
My mind is wandering. I'm cold and hungry.
(There really isn't much time to ring doorbells now...)
(They try another villa...)
(but there's no reply.)
(The next door isn't responding either...)
No one is living here.
(It seems like everyone is out for the weekend.)
- Who is it? - Hello?
Do you know the program "Let's Eat Dinner Together?"
I'm sorry, but I'm getting ready to go out now.
- All right. - I'm sorry.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Even if he was awarded with a merit, things aren't going his way.
The last villa.
Is it here?
(If they fail here, it's almost certain they'll have to go to a convenience store...)
(At last!)
(It's 8 p.m., the end time!)
(Now they're in a situation where they can't go over 1 minute...)
(Will Team Kyung-kyu be able to succeed?)
(What is their last choice?)
(Dingdong)
(The dramatic doorbell that rang at 8 p.m.)
- Who is it? - Hello?
- Who is it? - Hello, I'm Lee Kyung-kyu.
- Excuse me? - I'm comedian Lee Kyung-kyu.
What brings you here?
- You know the show "Let's Eat Dinner Together?" - Oh? Pardon?
(First, the front door opens.)
Goodness. Did you eat yet?
Dinner? No. I didn't eat yet.
What about your husband?
I live with my cousin, but he's not home yet.
- He's not done with work yet. - Really?
Then do you have to wait until he comes home?
No, it doesn't matter if I eat on my own.
May we join you for dinner?
(They dramatically rang the doorbell, and they dramatically wish for dinner...)
(What is their fate?)
- May we join you for dinner? - It's fine with me!
It is?
- It's fine with me! - It is? I have Red Velvet with me.
- Hello! - Is it okay if I'm on air like this?
- Sorry? - My face is like this...
- That's fine. You can put some make-up on. - Okay. Please hold on.
- All right. - Please wait.
(We did it!)
We made it at the last house!
(Kyung-kyu & Irene also successfully got dinner!)
Amazing!
- What time is it? - What time is it?
- It's 8:02 p.m. - 8:02 p.m.?
(Awesome!)
Just like a movie, they dramatically enter the dinner
story of a home in Yangjae-dong that showed us suspense.
- Were you about to eat? - Yes.
That's a relief.
- What's your name? - Kim Yoo-mi.
- Yes.
- Excuse me, but what do you do for a living? - I'm an assistant at my Alma mater.
- An assistant. - Yes.
We're about to move, so the house is a bit...
- It's fine. - Who cares? Everyone who lives alone is like this.
- What were you planning to eat? - My mom sent me side dishes.
- Really? - Yes.
- And then...? - Are you okay with meat?
- Of course. - Meat, meat.
- I like it. - I like it.
- You're okay with it? - Yes.
Why are you eating so late tonight?
- Oh, so my boyfriend is in the army. - So you eat at the same time with him?
I went to Gimpo to see him, so I was a bit late.
- Your boyfriend went back to base? - Yes.
He heard about this and went crazy.
- You talked to him on the phone? - Yes, and his unit is going wild because of you.
The unit? Oh, not because of us, but just because of her?
- My goodness. Because of Red Velvet? - Yes.
Goodness. They don't care about me. They're all about Red Velvet right now.
- Where are you from? - Gwangju.
Gwangju of Jeolla-do? Where exactly?
- Unam-dong. - Unam-dong? I see.
How many years has it been since you've lived here?
I came here when I was 21 for school.
- Are you guys moving? - Yes, we're moving next Monday.
Why is everyone moving in this neighborhood?
Everyone is moving out or moving in. It was chaos.
- Aged kimchi. - Yes.
- Where are you guys moving to? - Suji-ro.
- Suji? - Yes.
- I see. - My cousin's job is over there.
- So we decided to move over there. - To Suji?
- Yes. - I'm guessing your cousin is working.
Yes, he's a chef.
- Really? - Yes.
- Korean food? Chinese food? Japanese food? - Western food.
It just had to be Western food. Doesn't he make you any food?
He told me to come to his restaurant if I want to eat anything.
How did you guys come to live together?
Ever since I was little, I stayed at my aunt's house, so we're like close family.
- You guys are close. - Yes. We live without any awkwardness.
- Right? It's scary to live alone. - Yes.
- You didn't tell him about this, did you? - No, I did.
Really? What did he say?
Kind of like, "What do you want me to do about it?"
- "What do you want me to do about it?" - Yes, that's how he reacted.
- But your boyfriend was happy. - Yes.
Crabs marinated in soy sauce! Delicious!
- I think your mother made that. Am I right? - Yes, she sent it from Gwangju.
Then it will taste incredible.
Starting from her mom's crabs marinated in soy sauce from Gwangju...
to spicy, ripe green onion kimchi.
Do you eat salted oysters?
(Even salted oysters appear!)
- My cousin likes this kind of food. - I see.
With the addition of refreshing salted oysters that her cousin likes,
a classy dinner of people living alone has been set.
Irene becomes busy with the additions of side dishes.
- Kimchi stew. - Yes. There was nothing else to put in, so I just added tuna.
Even the tuna kimchi stew with her mom's aged kimchi that boasts red flavor is ready.
I'll put that on the table. She's good at cooking.
(Neatly)
What do I do?
(The godfather goes into action.)
With the power of merit, Kyung-kyu does his best to bring the meat to life.
(Focused on the beef loin...)
(She finds it funny how Kyung-kyu is so focused on the meat.)
I guess beef loins are sold separately.
- My cousin brought them from his restaurant. - I see.
The beef loin made with Kyung-kyu's merit mentality is being completed.
Irene started to wash the dishes that were piling up.
The three of them do their own share of work to prepare dinner.
Kyung-kyu, who got proper control of the frying pan, makes fried eggs as well.
How would you like your eggs? Well done?
- Medium. - Medium? Got it.
- Would you like me to burst the yolk or not? - Not.
- You want me to save it? - Yes.
(What a mess!)
With the godfather's heap of eggs that can't
be recognized as either well-done or medium...
This is a feast.
Yoo-mi's dinner is all ready to go.
Meanwhile, dinner is being prepared at the pilot's home.
Ms. Jo pulls out her homemade side dishes, her secret weapon.
- What is this? - Taro.
- Taro? - Yes.
- What are these? - Pickled vegetables.
- Pickled thistles. - Thistles.
- What is this? - It's horseradish. It makes things taste spicy.
Joy, who seems like she's here to practice cooking,
is studying things she has never seen before.
These are pickled garlic.
I made it with plum vinegar, bamboo salt, and natural sugar.
- It's been four or five years since I made this. - Really?
- It's been five years? - Yes. It's very good.
It's a valuable food. Pickled garlic that has been around for five years.
(The pickled garlic is the last thing on the table.)
(An abundant dinner has been completed.)
Mr. Na opened up a bottle of liquor for his special guests.
Whiskey. Swag!
Who is looking for me now?
(It's a phone call for Mr. Na.)
Hello? Yes. Yes.
A dinner in Yangjae-dong.
This is a dinner with stars that Ms. Jo prepared for pilot
Mr. Na who is set to take his farewell flight soon.
Did you log in? Did Mr. Jung release the log?
Okay, that's good then. He solved the ground ramp return, right?
- "I am ground." - All right. Okay. Bye.
There's not a single day of peace around here.
(He skillfully handles the problem as if he's used to it.)
- Please sit down. - We're going to do a real theater for a minute.
Pretend we're not here.
Stand by. Action!
- Honey, when are we eating? Is the food ready now? - Yes.
- There's even liquor. - I wanted to have a glass.
Okay, let's eat.
(Silence)
(Awkward)
It's Sunday, and it's been a while since we've both been home together.
- I'm glad we're able to eat dinner like this. - Me, too.
(Mr. Na naturally leads the conversation.)
- Please continue to be healthy. - Yet, let's live a healthy and happy long life.
Okay.
(They start dinner with a sip of liquor.)
(He tastes a slice of beef first.)
This is good.
(They're adorable.)
- I'm sorry. There's no soup today. - Instead, we have this.
(A soup that will break open clogged throats)
(The end of dinner theater)
(Embarrassed)
Mr. Na, you're an actor!
(Secretly satisfied)
- Please sit down. - He led her.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Thank you for visiting. - It's an honor.
Thank you for letting me eat.
Joy didn't eat breakfast or lunch. This is her first meal of the day.
Yes, it is.
- We'll enjoy this. - Thank you.
- Joy, do you know what this is? - She told me it was taro earlier.
You told her everything?
- I never ate taro before. - It's boiled.
- It tastes like potatoes. - Right.
It's delicious.
Is this black garlic? Or is it pickled garlic?
- This is a very precious dish. - What is it?
She made it herself five years ago.
Wow. But it's still very chewy.
- This is truly medicine. - It is.
It will taste good if you eat it with meat.
I look forward to this the most.
(Salted clams)
If you want more rice, I'll give it to you.
This will taste good with meat. Like this, right?
Wow. This is really delicious.
- I usually don't eat garlic. - The smell of garlic is nearly gone.
Never in my life have I complained about the food.
Because it's delicious.
You probably don't have the slightest bit of complaints.
- Joy, eat a lot of meat. - I will. It's delicious.
She takes a full bite of warm white rice with a nicely cooked piece of beef.
She's experiencing the miracle of tasting the beef she smelled on the streets.
It's really delicious. I usually don't eat garlic.
Ho-dong has totally fallen for the collaboration of delicious salted clams and beef.
The couple is enjoying a happy dinner with the
new family that appeared like a surprise gift.
Eat slowly, since this is your first meal. Or you'll get indigestion.
It's so good.
On your flights, you must miss home meals.
- Your home meal is delicious. - Yes.
In our job, we have to get used to the local food.
If we go to Brazil, we eat Brazilian food.
If we go to Thailand, we eat Thai food.
- I see. - If we go to Germany, we eat German food.
(He tasted food from all over the world!)
- Where is this kimchi from? - Jeolla-do.
The southern area.
- Are you from Jeolla-do, Ms. Jo? - Both of us are.
- Where? - She's from Gwangju. I'm from Naju.
I was commuting from Naju to Gwangju, but it was difficult, so
I went into a boarding house, and it was owned by her family.
Really? Whoa...
(Shy)
She's the daughter of the owner of the boarding house.
I was in middle school, and he was in high school.
After we eat, we'll hear their boarding house love story. We'll ask for the details.
That's a fateful first meeting.
I'll show you a small eating show.
- Eat a lot of meat. - I'm going to eat it with this.
- It will become 4 layers. - It's going to be salty.
- What are these? - Pickled thistles.
I'm going to add this here.
I'm going to add this on top.
(If he adds the pickled garlic, it will become a layer of 6.)
You have to be Kang Ho-dong for that to be possible.
(The layer of 6 enters his mouth.)
It's gone.
- It's good, huh? - Yes.
Would you like some water?
While Ho-dong is in the middle of an amazing 6-layered eating show...
Kyung-kyu is waiting for warm instant rice to be finished in the microwave.
How long has it been since your boyfriend went into the army?
He'll be out in five months.
- He'll be out soon. Did you guys start dating before he went in there? - Yes.
Of course. In official terms...
there's a saying that says a woman leaves her boyfriend
and goes out with another man. But you waited.
You're the best.
- I guess he's a sergeant then. - He's a corporal now.
- A corporal. - He's in the marines.
- That's right! Gimpo is famous for the marines. - Right.
So he told me to call or text him because of Irene.
- Really? - Yes, it's chaos over there.
(He's trying to pretend this isn't instant rice.)
- Irene? Red Velvet. - Yes?
- We're done. - Okay.
- Where's your spoon? - Grain powder?
- Your spoon. - Oh, my spoon.
You should get a hearing aid.
You give us great laughter.
I'm just going to take a picture. One, two...
This is a dinner made by a girl who lives alone in Yangjae-dong with
side dishes filled with the taste of her hometown sent from her mom.
(At last they start to eat dinner!)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
We'll enjoy a dinner in Yangjae-dong.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(The godfather puts the kimchi stew in separate bowls.)
It's delicious.
It's delicious!
- This is my first meal. - Really?
I think it's been a while since I had homemade food.
I always eat out or eat lunch boxes.
Did your mom make this, too?
- Yes, she made everything and sent them to me. - It's really good.
My mom makes food for me often, too...
but this is really good.
- This really tastes like a mom's cooking. - Right.
The beef loins are good, too. It's delicious.
Kyung-kyu is experiencing the taste of Gwangju
from homemade side dishes in Yangjae-dong.
- This is the best dinner I ever had. - Thank you.
This is great.
It's delicious.
Daegu Goddess Irene, who hasn't had homemade food in a while,
is also enjoying her first meal of the day and
falling in love with homemade food from Gwangju.
(She eats and eats again.)
(Glance)
You must've been really hungry.
(I was hungry.)
(Eat a lot)
Tonight, Yoo-mi isn't alone, and she enjoys a lively dinnertime.
It's really delicious!
But it's a good thing that you still make food for
yourself even though you live without your parents.
It's expensive to order food.
- People who live alone don't usually make food. - Right.
- You must've gone on a date with your boyfriend. - Yes.
- Right? - Yes.
(He checks the time.)
I don't think you'll be able to make a call in the army...
- No. Nowadays, they can even make video calls. - Really?
- At 9 p.m., they sleep. - He's cleaning right now.
Then you should call him now. He'll have to sleep soon.
(She's calling him.)
To encourage him...
- Hello? - Yoo-mi!
- Hello? - Hold on. Yeah! Yeah!
- Can you talk? - I'm on my way!
- To where? - To make a video call!
Is that okay? Okay, then. Call me when you get there.
- Okay! - Okay.
Is there a separate place for that?
- Yes. It's like a telephone booth. - What's that then?
There's a phone in each of the rooms.
The army has become a very nice place.
At 9 p.m., there would be these internal examinations.
- What do I do? Show you guys to him like this? - Hello?
Hello!
- Hello! - Hello.
- Is that your boyfriend? - Yes.
He's very handsome!
- Hello! I'm Lee Kyung-kyu! - Hello!
- Hello!
This is amazing!
- Red Velvet! Red Velvet! Red Velvet! - I'm Irene.
"Red flavor."
(Launching of "Red Flavor")
- Which girl group do you like? - I like Red Velvet!
You're the best!
He's not usually like this.
What were you up to?
- I was getting ready for roll call. - Right?
Your girlfriend has a very warm heart.
Thank you.
- She's good at cooking, too! - She is!
Yoo-mi is good at everything.
I see.
(She actually likes it.)
Who do you like more between your girlfriend and Red Velvet?
I like my girlfriend more.
- Good job. - Go ahead and greet each other.
- Bye. - You want me to go?
You have to go for roll call.
You have to go for roll call!
- Good luck with the rest of your army service! - Victory!
Victory!
- The marines. - Bye.
- I'm going in now. I love you. - Okay, bye.
Their love is hot and warm.
With a sweet good-bye, their sweet love story begins.
How long have you guys been dating?
We met last February.
- So about two years? - Two years.
He went into the army not long after we started dating.
Did you date him knowing that he's going to the army?
Did you meet him through a blind date?
We met while working part-time at a pizza store.
- At a pizza store. - He was making pizza and I was serving it.
- So you guys met through work. - Yes.
In what neighborhood?
Where Nambu Terminal is.
- Oh, Nambu Terminal. - It's gone now though.
- Oh, there was a pizza store there! - Yes, it used to be there.
Aren't you lonely if your boyfriend is in the army?
To be honest, it was very hard in the beginning.
- We used to always contact each other. - You guys always met.
Then suddenly he left.
- And marines are at the training academy for a long time. - Right. They train a lot.
- We could only write letters to each other. - Hand-written letters.
Yes, but as time went on, I got used to it.
Now once he discharges, I don't think I'll be used to it.
After he discharges, he'll call you constantly, and it will get tiring.
I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be used to it.
Did your boyfriend volunteer to be in the marines?
- Yes. - Really?
Why the marines?
He wanted to go.
- He seems tall. Isn't he? - He has a good proportion.
- Once he comes out for a break, his uniform is neat and tidy, huh? - He's so cool.
(She's totally head over heels for a soldier.)
- I can't help it. He looks really cool. - I bet.
- And the red name tag. - He has a red name tag.
He also wears a marines hat and walks with sounds, doesn't he?
Every moment is happiness for Yoo-mi when it comes to her cool boyfriend.
While her love for her marine boyfriend is blossoming,
at the home of the pilot who was in the air force...
- When you travel, your body is not yours, you know? - Right.
Your health condition is connected to the well-being of people's lives.
When I was in the air force,
there were many dangerous circumstances I went through to protect the airspace.
So when there's an intruder, you don't know if it's an enemy or a defect.
- That's right. - I used to go with the others on emergency flights.
So after living in such a tense atmosphere,
I came to work for a civilian aircraft, and that was a new tense experience.
When I'm in that civilian aircraft, just like the one you
saw in the photo, there are 400 passengers behind me.
So when you have all those lives on stake, you
really become sensitive about everything.
There's nothing you can look over.
A while ago, a pilot called me to tell me about a certain situation and if it's okay.
We have to check every single thing.
- You have all these lives in your hands. - To take 400 passengers...
on a fight...
What is the mental burden of that like? How big is it?
If I flew a smaller airplane than that,
then that means I have about 189 passengers plus an alpha.
That plus alpha is little kids who are less than two years old.
- I see. - Whenever I hear that, I get this shiver back here.
Seriously, it makes me think, "Oh, I have to take them again today."
This must be the biggest burden of all.
Is there some kind of special way you have to psychologically overcome that?
You have to always be prepared.
You cannot get any of those switches wrong.
You have to know everything well.
- There are too many of them though. - You have to memorize all of them?
- These are the basics? - Should I lift up the curtain?
There are too many of them!
(The switches fill up the living room window.)
- He has to memorize all of those! - I know.
- I must memorize all of them and have them in my head. - Of course.
I have to check all of them and make sure they're on the right mode.
- FM. - We follow the FM.
Field manual.
I've done that for 42 years now.
Wow. That's awesome.
So on the 28th of this month is my farewell flight.
To be honest, that one flight is actually burdensome to me.
I have to do it like nothing happened, just like I've done until now.
I have to organize everything and end it.
It will be a personal honor to me, and
if my wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren
think of if that way, too, I'd be grateful.
(Good work.)
I never knew I would be saying this story on TV.
(This is exactly what kind of unknown fate dinner will bring.)
Because of my job, I go on airplanes a lot.
But you usually don't meet the pilot.
- Right. - So this is a strange world to me.
It's so fascinating.
Why did you put this on your wall?
It's my last flight, so I just wanted to put this up here.
When we moved here, I put this up here, and my son said,
"Father, put this in your room! Why put it here?"
So I told him, "Just leave it there."
Because I want to see it.
One more thing I'm curious about is that your son is a pilot, too.
How did you feel about that, ma'am?
I feel more burdened about my son. I get worried about him as well.
As for my husband, I know he's at that level, so I know he can do it.
But it's really more heartbreaking to see my son be a pilot.
- Even though they went through the same sufferings. - Yes, the same...
In front of my son, everything crumbles down!
Where are you going for your last flight?
(Good question!)
I'm going to Osaka. From Gimpo to Osaka.
It's a farewell flight, so I decided to go someplace close instead of far.
That will be my last flight.
A student who dreamt of flying the sky became an air force who protects the sky.
For the past 42 years, he has been living as the wings of thousands of people.
Now, he's dreaming of the most beautiful descent in his life.
- Your parents ran a boarding school in Gwangju? - Yes.
So he went to Gwangju to study from Naju.
- So he... - I didn't study.
I went to middle school, and when I entered my first year of high school,
I realized I didn't study at all!
So I thought I had to study. I told my father, "I can't commute.
Let me live in a boarding school in Gwangju, so I can study."
So the boarding house I went to was my in-laws'.
I really studied hard for two years.
- She got in a lot of trouble because of me. - Why?
He studied really hard, but I didn't.
Because you guys are at different levels of desperation.
It's very different for a student who came to
study and a student who's already settled down.
My mother would always tell me, "Look at that student!"
(Pretty pleased)
She probably compared her children to him like that,
- but inside, she was like, "Wow. Look at him." - Right.
My parents really got a good impression of him.
"With this kind of diligence, we can't give him to anyone else."
I found out later on that my mother-in-law put us together.
- Really? - She put us together.
How?
I went to military academy, so I was grateful for being
able to study at the house and went to greet the owners during my break time.
I said, "Thanks to you guys, I was able to go
to school, and I'm studying well right now."
I would always go see them during my breaks.
Because you're grateful to them.
But ever since one day, we kept meeting up with each other.
When I lived in the boarding school, I didn't have such feelings for her,
but after living in isolation during military academy...
It's about time, you know?
(Embarrassed)
So the way I looked and thought about her became different.
One day, when I saw her, she had become a young woman.
So I kept seeing her after that, and I learned
later on that my mother-in-law put us together.
Your mother-in-law set you two up together?
- She gave us money and kept telling us to go out. - To go watch a movie.
Really? Wow.
But just because she pushed them together doesn't mean they'll do it.
Ms. Jo's heart has to flutter as well.
What happened back then?
- What happened? - Since when did you like him?
- Just one day. - One day?
After my mom kept telling us to do things together, I grew fond of him.
I see. So it wasn't a case of love at first sight.
- Nope. - It wasn't like that for neither of us.
(Honest couple)
But the feelings build up.
- Those feelings built up and became affection one day. - I see.
This is really...
- Just a brief connection... - Right.
They became lovers then partners.
And now due to fate, they're about to become legends.
Thank you.
The boarder who dreamed of blue clouds...
unpredictably fell in love with the owner's daughter...
and they transformed from lovers to life partners.
They also become parents.
They're carrying on their drama-like fate.
- What time does your cousin come home? - He comes home late on Sundays.
The store is closed tomorrow, so he has to finish things up tonight.
Why Yangjae-dong out of all places?
We were looking for a place between my school and
his work, and the center ended up being here.
- Your new place will be closer to your school now. - Farther for me.
- So you're moving for your cousin? - Yes.
My cousin faced a lot of burden living here, so he wished to move over there.
- Still, you must be happy to have your cousin. - I'm happy. He's reliable.
- Right? - Yes.
It's better than living alone.
- Daegu is my hometown. - Yes.
You can't go home often, huh?
- I went during Korean Thanksgiving. - You go on the holidays.
- Right. - You go during holidays and vacations.
You're just like us.
You're an assistant at school.
What do you want to do in the future then?
My professor recommended me to be an assistant, so I became one.
I majored in hospital administration.
- Oh, hospital administration. - Yes.
So I'm going to use that for my career.
- You're going to work at the hospital then. - Yes.
- At hospital administration. - Yes.
There are circumstances when it's burdensome to leave home and move to Seoul.
For example, your parents might refuse, too.
So why did you come here?
Ever since I was in high school, I wanted to come to Seoul.
So, when I was 20 years old, I gathered money from
part-time jobs and moved here at the age of 21.
- From the money you made in Gwangju. - Yes.
There are many good scholarships for school anyways, so I can get those.
I brought money to use for living and housing,
and I've been living here while working.
- You're amazing. - I really wanted to come to Seoul.
- To Seoul? - Yes.
So what do you think after living here?
Now, I kind of regret it.
(So honest)
It's best to stay with your mom.
So I regret it now.
- You know once you leave home. - Right.
To be honest, it's really difficult. I keep thinking I want to go back to Gwangju.
If I make money, it all goes out.
If I was in Gwangju, I would've saved money, but
since I'm in Seoul, it all goes to housing.
Even though you live with your cousin, you have to help out somehow.
Yes. We split the costs.
- We're exact with those things. - See? They go halfway.
- If you go out, you have to spend money. - Right.
But many young people in Seoul will be thinking the same as you right now.
What is the loneliest thing about living here? The hardest thing?
First, it's being away from my parents...
I believe that I'm still at an age where I can live with my parents.
- Living with your parents is great. - Yes.
As for friends, I do have college friends,
but they're so busy with work that we can't meet often.
- And I always end up coming home early because of my dog. - Right.
So I rely on my dog a lot.
- It's really nice when you go back home from time to time. - I love it.
I get to eat my mom's food.
- I love just going to the market with my mom. - Right.
I love it when my mom makes me do something or nags me around.
- Ready? - Yes.
Because I can't hear it. I live apart from my mom, so she can't even nag me.
That's right.
(I miss my mom.)
Irene, you should do a video letter to your mom in Daegu.
- To my mom? - Yes.
You talked a lot about your mom, so of course you must do it.
Mom...
(Suddenly, BGM starts to play.)
I talk with my mom often on the phone...
I do talk to you a lot, but I'm very curt to you...
- Without me knowing, I become curt. - Right.
Then I end up regretting after I hang up.
Mom...
(Tears up)
(She starts to tear up in the middle of talking because of her sorry heart...)
What's wrong, grain powder?
What's wrong with me?
- Do you miss your mom? - I had a nice dinner...
You start tearing up when you think of your mom.
Ma'am, Irene is doing very well, thanks to meeting a good senior colleague.
- Don't worry about anything. - He's right.
Yoo-mi, you should send one to your mom.
Mom, I'm doing well.
I even came out on TV. I think I made the right choice by coming to Seoul.
Don't worry. Make sure you eat your meals with dad.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Good. It's a good thing you came to Seoul. You came out on TV, too.
May I send one to my mom, too?
- I should do it, too. - Please do.
I want to send one to my mom, too.
Mother, it's me, Kyung-kyu. No news is good news.
I'll call you. Way to go, mother!
We call things we're grateful about compliments.
How about you compliment your wife first, Mr. Na?
Honey...
I'm grateful about the first fate that we met.
First, he compliments their fate.
We've been married for over 40 years now...
It's time to enter the twilight of our journey.
I'm grateful of your consideration to take care of me until the last moment.
(Content)
(Mr. Na's sincerity warms hearts.)
I'm very grateful that you're always honest and upright.
Thank you for being faithful to your family.
I hope I live the rest of my life with you while holding your hand
- and continue to be healthy like this. - Thank you. I love you.
(Love is everywhere.)
Does your husband normally express his affection for you?
I'm always grateful to her.
I'm the grateful one.
- This saying! - I'm the grateful one.
But in the end, I realize I have no power.
(The hidden truth behind their warmth)
In the end, I have nothing!
So she said that she would give me a new car...
and I thought, "But I'm the one who made that money..."
(The influential person who burst into laughter after the fact check)
But the important thing is that she was going to get you a car as a gift.
But the deal is off since we came here.
- That's right! - Yes, the deal is off! You two are the greatest gifts!
(The retirement gift changed out of the blue.)
I got Kang Ho-dong and Joy as a gift. I got the show, too.
Wow. I had no idea I would have such a grand farewell flight.
Seriously, it's such an honor for us to be a part of that last moment of your life.
- I'm just grateful. - Thank you.
(A warm dinner that will be remembered as a good memory)
We'll give you 30 seconds to promote your new song.
If you're ready, I'll start the time.
- Only 30 seconds? - Only 30 seconds.
Nothing more than that.
Go!
Red Velvet is making a comeback.
We're coming back with the title song "Peek-A-Boo" for our second album.
Our title means peek-a-boo in Korean.
It's a song that expresses the thrills you experience when you a special person.
- Stop. - Oh! No!
(The couple is happy with her cute performance.)
(Lost track of time)
That's the point of the choreography.
Please listen to it.
(Promotion of "Peek-A-Boo" was a big success!)
We'll do the dishes now.
(Irene puts the gloves on.)
(Skillful)
If you pass them onto me, I'll rinse them.
Kyung-kyu and Irene cleanly washes the dishes they had emptied in a friendly manner.
- Have you washed dishes before? - Of course. I've done it a lot.
- Really? - Yes. I've done it ever since I was little.
(Snapping of her wrists)
- It was fun today, right? - Yes. It's really amazing.
The touching emotions...
Ho-dong and Irene, who can't stop talking, finish washing the dishes as well.
This is like a family picture.
One, two, three.
As they dye the night of Yangjae-dong red, houses
91 and 92 that gave them dinner have been born.
Kang Ho-dong and Joy, thank you for coming to our house.
"Let's Eat Dinner Together," we love you.
Thank you for presenting me with a special, unforgettable memory.
Please continue to give many gifts of warm dinners.
(Kyung-kyu and Ho-dong are peacefully rowing a boat...?)
No, Kyung-kyu! I said no!
- Hold still! - No! No! No!
- I'm trying to do this! - I said no!
- Where are you, dinner partners? - Dinner partners, come on out!
- Dinner partners! - Behind you!
- Hello! - Do you know who I am?
(Techno actress Chae Jung-ahn)
Hello!
(Jung-ahn's best friend Jang Hee-Jin)
- This is Songdo International Business District. - This entire thing is.
(Songdo International Business District)
We were probably brought here because of our foreign vibes.
Would you like to see her Berlin dance?
We graduated from the same school.
We have our honor of Dongguk University!
(She opens right away.)
(This is Berlin swag!)
We're a Buddhist school!
How could a Buddhist school do this?
(I will show you what a true Buddhist dance is!)
(Everybody Buddhist swag!)
I'm so sorry, chairman of the school!
I'm just from Incheon.
She's the beauty of Incheon.
With Kim Goo-Ra, Ji Sang-ryeol, and Yeom
Kyung-hwan, they are the four beauties of Incheon!
Lucky you! All I know about her is that she used to be a bully!
You know what that is, right?
- Where did you hang out in Incheon? - The alley of tented vendors.
- I played around when I was young. - I've never heard anyone say that on TV before.
Did you always have such lousy friends?
(Will they be able to eat dinner tonight...?)
I'm actress Jang Hee-Jin from Incheon.
I'm so cold and hungry. My hands are shaking.
- The door has opened. - They want you to come in.
Do I go in when it's closing? What do I do?
Please get a hold of yourself!
- Hello. I'm Korean actress Chae Jung-ahn. - I don't know you.
Aren't you curious who I am?
Ma'am? Hello?
Good-bye.
I'm TV star Chae Jung-ahn.
- I have to go out now. - Have a good trip.
(What is she doing...?)
- Is this "Let's Eat Dinner Together?" - Yes, it is!
- I already ate. - It sounds like you had an amazing dinner.
(The brightest doorbell ringing ever)
I rang the doorbell because I wanted to eat dinner.
Hello? Excuse me?
I can't do this! I'm scared!
("Let's Eat Dinner Together"/Wednesday 10:50 p.m.)
- This happened miraculously. - I know.
We rang the doorbell at 8 p.m.
- It was great. - Yes.
- There's something about this, huh? - My heart feels warm.
- Suddenly, I'm not cold anymore. Are you cold? - Yes.
Wow. Joy, you're a lucky charm.
(Excited lucky charm Joy)
- We must receive compliments! - Okay!
One, two, three!
Will you eat a red dinner with old families and friends?
