- Wow, what is this?
- This is...
It's a sculpture.
- (Narration) The two have run into an odd sculpture in Bu-am area.
- What is this?
- (Narration) What is it trying to express?
- Wow, I think this work has a lot of meanings.
- I think that within this person called Kang Ho-dong
there exists many different characters.
- That's right.
- For me, I'm all about innocence, sincerity, and simplicity.
You are cruel, dreadful, and make people tired.
You have all these different characters.
- So that's why we are going on journeys.
To discover another me.
- See how it's blooming.
- (Narration) Well, it was somewhat similar.
A journey to discover oneself.
Today has begun once again.
- This isn't the time for that, Kyung-kyu.
Last week, we faced the coldest day of this winter.
It didn't air.
Sometimes they edit it out entirely.
I was so surprised. I was disappointed...
- Don't monitor the show.
- Kyung-kyu...
- At the Chopsticks Gallery... What is this?
Find the spoons and have dinner at Bu-am area.
Where's the Chopsticks Gallery?
The gallery...
Do they make chopsticks in this area?
Kyung-kyu, we need to look at the forest, not the tree.
If we look for the spoon at the Chopsticks Gallery
the guests will suddenly appear.
- Just pretend not to notice and go.
Don't try to figure out the staff's intentions.
Just follow along with what the staff gives us.
Search this place on the web.
- (Narration) Will it be as they expected?
If meant to be, people will surely meet.
Like a picture, she is at that place today.
Bu-am area of Jong-no district in Seoul.
Bu-am area is where Bu-chim Rock was, where people rubbed rocks to make their wish.
Surrounded by Mt. In-wang and Mt. Bugak, it's a good place with fresh air for a walk.
In a picturesque, romantic neighborhood that doesn't feel like Seoul, they dream of a pie in the sky.
I mean, a meal in the sky. Let's Have Dinner Together, Episode 19. A Picturesque Home.
- But Kyung-kyu, the Chopsticks March is spelled differently.
- Chopsticks.
The 'Chopsticks' in the Chopsticks March is spelled like this.
But here, it's this.
- What are you talking about?
Chopsticks...
- (Narration) They have a long way to go.
Who knew they'd be held back because of this?
- How stifling.
- It's that house.
- Let's go.
- The Chopsticks Gallery in Bu-am area.
- This area has a lot of cafes.
- What?
- There's a lot of cafes here.
- These are all cafes?
- Sure, these are all cafes.
- Do you know Bu-am area?
- I think this area has a lot of artistic places.
Isn't he an actor?
Right?
Oh, it's...
- Hello.
- Oh my, Actor Jung.
- I really enjoy your works.
Are you our guest today?
- (Narration) Actor Jung just appeared on the streets.
Is he perhaps our guest today?
- Are you our guest today?
- No.
Our cameras are over there.
We ate and were having coffee.
- Are you here for a filming?
- Yes.
- He has a mic on right now.
- Oh, that's right.
- Neighborhood Stories?
- Let's Eat Dinner Together?
- (Narration) A show looking into the neighborhood's daily life
and a show eating a meal there have met in the same area.
- But this is unfair.
We didn't catch this on our cameras.
- Jin-young...
- Hurry up and bring our cameras.
- Oh, wow, wow.
- It's nice to see you.
- Are you on the show with him?
- Yes.
- Did we just happen to film together in Bu-am area?
- That's right.
- Where did you begin?
- We started from the cafe over there and then went to Seok-pa-jeong.
- Seok-pa-jeong here.
- Jin-young also has a very broad knowledge.
Briefly tell us about Seok-pa-jeong.
You need to at least do that right now.
- Seok-pa-jeong is Heung-seon Dae-won-gun's pen name.
- Seok-pa is.
- Ah...
- I'll say up to that much.
- You are amazing, Kyung-kyu.
Our Kyung-kyu.
- We're sorry, you must be busy.
- Have fun with your filming today.
- Good luck with your filming.
- Now, we'll be on our way.
- Take care. - Take care.
- Good luck, Neighborhood Stories.
- Hello.
- What are you doing here?
- I came to film.
- DinDin.
- Where are you?
- He's on Neighborhood Stories too.
- Are you over there?
- Don't you have a female guest here?
- We're on our way to meet our guest.
- Then let's go.
I'll just take a look at her and go.
- No, we don't know if our guest is a male or female.
- Really?
He's waiting for me over there, so I'll get going.
- Alright, alright.
- Enjoy your meal.
I'll see you another time.
- Alright.
- Wow, Kyung-kyu, about Seok-pa-jeong.
- In the morning.
- You were able to really do it.
About Seok-pa-jeong, you said it was Heung-seon Dae-won-gun's pen name.
- I know just that.
- Did you see Jung Jin-young for the first time in private?
- No, I've seen him a few times.
- He knows a lot of things.
- I think he graduated from Seoul National University.
- That's right.
- There are many places like this.
Kyung-kyu, it says Mu-gye-won.
- I know.
Let's go in.
- Kyung-kyu, since we met Jung Jin-young today
we can't get behind on our knowledge level. Ip-chun-Dae-gil.
This is praying for great fortune with the coming of spring.
What is this, Kyung-kyu?
-Geon-yang-da-gyeong.
Looks like build 'geon', light 'yang', many 'da', and Seoul 'gyung'.
I think it means for sunlight to shine abundantly.
- We're pretty good too.
- (Narration) Unlike their usual selves, it's an intelligent start today.
- This was a high-class restaurant a long time ago.
- I feel like we're in a historical drama series.
- I know.
- (Narration) This was the vacation home for Sejong's third son, Grand Prince An-pyeong, who enjoyed the arts.
It is a picturesque Korean-style house located at Mu-gye-jeong-sa.
Mu-gye, which is also Bu-am area's nickname, means
'like the valley of paradise'. The neighborhood that captured a scene from paradise
dreamt by Grand Prince An-pyeong was Bu-am area.
- This...
Can we open the doors?
- We can't just open...
- Ack!
- Hello.
- (Narration) Never knew she'd be here, right?
The amazing guest that made the pair's hearts drop.
'Bovely' Park Bo-young.
- I was surprised because of you, Kyung-kyu.
- Were you surprised?
Hello.
- Bo-young.
- Hello.
- I was wondering who.
- I know...
You didn't know?
- I didn't.
- Hello.
- Are you accompanying us today?
- Yes, I'm the guest.
Hello.
- Kyung-kyu, Park Bo-young.
- I know, I know.
- Kyung-kyu, this is no joke.
You know that drama series with Jo Jung-suk.
I almost fainted watching that.
- Thank you.
- Why?
- The rediscovery of Park Bo-young.
- You just started filming for a new drama series.
- She's so good at acting.
You came out to promote your new drama series.
- You don't need to pay much attention to that.
- You're not pure.
I thought you were pure.
- No, I said I wanted to be on this show.
- Alright, first put your shoes on and come out.
- I'll be out soon.
- I mean, well...
- I was surprised because she was sitting in there.
- I thought everything was gonna happen at the gallery.
I didn't think of this.
Park Bo-young, Park Bo-young.
- I hid my shoes so I wouldn't be caught.
- That's why we didn't know.
- Scandal Makers.
- Don't even mention that.
- Why?
- He filmed that movie after Highway Star.
Cha Tae-hyun.
That one became a hit.
- Kyung-kyu, Highway Star was a hit too.
- Highway Star did well too.
Let's go.
- Let's talk a little bit.
- Talk about what.
We can talk while making our way.
- One more time, Kyung-kyu. The fact that Park Bo-young
chose our show is not an ordinary thing.
Let's sit down and talk.
- It's cold, it's cold.
You can't let a woman sit down somewhere cold.
- Why did you want to be on this show?
- I saw almost every episode, and it's a show that I like.
Our company CEO strongly recommended it.
Do you know who our CEO is?
- Who is it?
- He's Kim Sang-yu...
Our CEO...
- Oh, Sang-yu...
- A long time ago, when he first started his job, he managed Kyung-kyu.
- He was my servant!
- Oh, your current CEO.
- I had Sang-yu with me for 3~4 years.
- He told me only good stories about you.
That you were so nice.
- So you were contemplating between Ask Us Anything and Let's Eat Dinner Together
and you threw away Ask Us Anything.
- I also like Let's Eat Dinner Together a bit more.
Because Ask Us Anything is scary.
- It's scary.
- There's also too many people.
- Wow, uphill.
Where is the Chopsticks Gallery?
- Wow, this is...
This is like climbing a mountain.
This is hiking.
- It'll be hard.
We have to keep walking around.
- I prepared myself for this.
In the show, you kept walking around and around.
- Do you have anything special with Bu-am area?
- No, this is my first time here.
- Where do you live right now?
- I live in Geum-ho area right now.
- Geum-ho area.
- Kang Ho-dong, Geum-ho-dong, Chun-ho-dong. They're all in my line.
- This neighborhood is really pretty.
- (Narration) Located beneath the castle wall, the neighborhood has a picturesque landscape
with houses that seem to have been painted in.
- Look at this house too.
- This house is also really pretty.
- Kyung-kyu, this is a design too.
If there was nothing here, the water would've splashed
but they made it pretty like this so the water can drain here.
This is amazing.
Oh my goodness.
- Actually doing what I saw on TV like this
is so exciting and fun and cool.
- Things like this...
- I feel like I'm watching TV.
- What?
- He keeps talking and you keep going.
I'm here, but it doesn't feel weird at all...
I don't feel awkward and ...
- We all do our own thing.
Oh, this is a house.
- Are you tired?
- I look like a really bad person.
Hullo~!
Can you not push properly?
I'm a villain, ha ha ha.
- We're here.
- Kyung-kyu, I look like a really bad person, right?
- (Narration) Yes, that's right.
- That's not it.
- Hello, Baek-gu. It's dangerous, don't go up there.
Good, go down.
I can communicate with animals.
- Really?
He understood and left.
- He understood my words.
- (Narration) By the way, where is the Chopsticks Gallery?
- Kyung-kyu, he's your fan.
- Do you know where the Chopsticks Gallery is?
- Oh, I know.
- Where... We need to go further down?
- If you go down and turn right, there's a crosswalk.
If you cross that and go up a little bit...
- Oh, thank you.
- Who's your favorite actress? - Yes?
- Your favorite actress.
- Park Bo-young.
- Your next favorite?
- Park Bo-young.
- Your last favorite? - Park Bo-young.
- Bless you.
Kyung-kyu, we found out where the Chopsticks Gallery is.
- Where is it?
- If we go further down, we need to cross the crosswalk there.
- (Narration) Thanks to Bovely, finding the way is a piece of cake.
Ho-dong is endlessly manic today.
And Bovely accepts it all.
- This is a real estate office.
- We should ask here. - Long-term residents of Bu-am area.
- Can we go in?
- Of course. Hello.
- Hello... - Are these all residential houses?
- Yes, they are. - Oh, they are?
- Is this Let's Eat Dinner Together?
- Yes, yes.
- Thank you.
- You ate food and ramen at Pyung-chang area.
- What's the average age group here?
- There are many elders.
But the spectrum is very broad.
There are women and men living by themselves.
There are newlyweds and middle-aged couples too.
It's diverse here.
Here.
- There might not be many elders at home in the evening?
- They are, but the problem is where they'll be at.
- Where should we go?
- If you look at the opposite side over there, they're all single-family houses.
At the back near the art gallery, there are many villas.
- Villas?
- Many professors and artists live there.
- Artistic. There are many art museums and galleries.
- That's right.
- Do you think we'll be able to have dinner today?
- Yes, they are all generous people.
They're very generous.
- Alright.
We'll be on our way.
- Have a good day.
Thank you.
- Hello there.
- Hello.
Hello. - Thank you.
- Wow, Park Bo-young.
- Hello.
- Wow!
- It's DinDin.
- This way.
- What are they...
Here it is.
That house.
- It's that house over there.
That house...
- It's here, Chopstick?
- Yes.
- They said to find the spoons here.
- To find the spoons here?
Let's eat together all our lives.
There are things like this.
- This tree looks like chopsticks.
- What?
- It's super skinny.
- What chopsticks.
- And for the interior design, they lined bamboos in the front.
- It's pretty.
It's so, so pretty.
- As we walk this road, I want to share various humors
and philosophy and fun, but he keeps repressing me.
I'm so knocked down that I don't know what to do.
- Then Kyung-kyu, should I keep my mouth shut from now?
Should I shut my mouth?
You're making me upset?
- Yes, shut it.
5, 4...
- Did you eat?
This is the last warning.
5... I'll do it. 4...
Park Bo-young, this is the last warning.
- I said no...
- 3, 2, 1!
- Come in...
- (Narration) Silence is gold, for sure.
- Excuse us.
Hello.
- Oh, hello.
Look at these chopsticks.
- (Narration) The specialty of Bu-am area, the Chopsticks Gallery.
The Blue House comes here to purchase souvenirs for trips overseas.
The spoon's best friend, the chopsticks.
Today, there is a precious gift of chopsticks for someone.
- Wow!
- Speak, speak, speak.
- Wow, there are so many.
Are these chopsticks we used from long ago?
Or...
- We used brass and mother-of-pearl with a modern method.
- Wow, this is worth 50 dollars.
- Ho-dong, are you telling me to hit him?
- Speak. Oh, just speak.
Don't do that.
1, 2, 3.
- He temporarily has aphasia.
- Why don't you leave?
5, 4.
Speak or leave.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1... - I'll speak.
- Let's play a game?
- After 10 seconds, the winner flicks foreheads.
- Okay, alright.
- We'll give a special gift of chopsticks.
- To the winner.
That's awesome.
- Ready, go!
- Wow, wait, wait, wait.
Wow, this is bad.
- This must be harder than we think.
This doesn't count.
- Fail.
This is worth trying.
- 4, 3, 2, 1.
Done! - I did it, I did it.
- 6 beans.
- 6 beans...
- I should've done better.
Start.
Oh, you're good.
Once you miss though, Kyung-kyu.
Huh?
Look at this.
- Ack!
- The big ones are hard.
You're going to get bad temper doing this.
- Hey!
Hey.
I think I'll be taking the chopsticks home.
- Stop, stop, stop.
12 beans.
- Wow!
12 beans.
- Fail, fail.
Park Bo-young is 1st place.
Kyung-kyu, you promised not to cheat. You need to be fair. Kyung-kyu, you failed.
- It makes no sense that it's a fail because of this.
- Kyung-kyu, I moved 6 beans...
Move just 6 beans, then.
One flick each.
- Okay, okay.
- Deal?
Ready, Sta...
- Wait, this gets you nervous.
- Let's do 30 seconds.
Move that big one...
That's hard.
Kyung-kyu, that's a hard one.
Kyung-kyu... - Wow, Ho-dong gets a flick.
- Wait.
- If he moves one more, it's a flick.
- There's no time.
That's it, that's it.
- No!
- Kyung-kyu, 27, 28.
- It's your fault.
- First, the presentation ceremony.
- Thank you.
- The winner.
- There's a separate case for that.
- Thank you.
- The chopsticks look very different.
- Where are our spoons?
- You need to get hit first.
- This craftsmanship.
- Kyung-kyu, did you get flicked a lot?
- Do it this way.
- Relax, relax, Kyung-kyu.
Since it's a promise.
- Wow, it must hurt.
- Since it's a promise.
- Hello.
- Wait. By the way... - Where are our spoons?
- The spoons.
- Do you only research chopsticks here?
Is there a research institute for chopsticks?
- We make them ourselves.
- In China, the chopsticks are longer, right?
- The Chinese eat a lot of noodles, so the chopsticks are longer.
In Japan, the chopsticks are thinner for sashimi.
In our country, we often eat vegetables so we mostly use metal chopsticks.
- We need to find our spoons.
- The spoons are somewhere, so please look around.
- Here they are.
- They're here.
- I saw this spoon a lot...
- These are ours.
This is Ho-dong's.
- This is mine.
Have a good day.
- (Narration) With a gift of chopsticks and having found the spoons,
it is now time to look for a meal in Bu-am area.
- There are many cute and charming places here.
There are a lot of small cafes too.
- (Narration) The fragrant smell of coffee from small cafes...
- It's a mill.
- (Narration) ...and the pounding sound of rice cakes spreads throughout Bu-am area.
- Look at the alley down there. - It's so pretty.
- From about here...
From this angle, you can hardly see the bottom.
- A curve road.
- How does it feel here?
- I think this is nice. Taking a picture here would be nice.
Right there where you can barely see the bottom.
- I have a lot of sensitivity for my build...
- Big people tend to have more sensitivity.
- It's about capturing the diverse dinner tables of today
which is very moving yet homely at the same time.
- I know.
- (Narration) Ho-dong is having a blast today.
- There's a line of houses at the foot of the mountain.
- Wow, this is a marvelous neighborhood.
- What?
- It's a marvelous neighborhood.
- The air is really delicious.
- This place really feel slightly different.
- Boar area. There must be boars here.
- It says there are boars.
Wow~...
- Bo-young, the fence is wooden.
These kinds of people have warm hearts.
Trees...
If one treats others as they would plant and raise trees...
- This is, this is strange.
Is this a deja-vu or did I hear this a lot...
- Growing trees well...
Trees. If there are many trees. Trees. Trees. Trees.
Is this a deja-vu or did I hear this a lot?
- You heard it a lot.
- The difference between an amateur and a professional
is that a professional pretends to have not heard it before.
- Oh, then I'm still an amateur...
Should we try this again? - Why do singers sing the same songs every day?
- Because they don't have many hit songs.
If they had many hit songs, they'd sing different songs.
- Then why do they do re-runs of drama series?
- Because broadcasting stations don't have money...
- (Narration) There they go again.
- Reality...
- I'm learning a lot today.
- You're learning a lot?
There's nothing to learn from us.
- Wow, look at that house. It's so pretty. Is that the solar power thing?
- It looks like solar power.
- I claim that house.
- Claim that house?
- Oh my...
- It's a house that takes good care of the trees that you like.
- Trees, scream together!
Wooh!
Scream.
Kyung-kyu, this is the footage of the day.
The sun, Mt. Bugak, and the unknown...
How pretty are these branches too?
Kyung-kyu, this is Bu-am...
- Look at that castle wall.
Isn't it so pretty?
It's so beautiful.
- They're cycling over there.
Kyung-kyu, this is a total rediscovery of Bu-am area.
- This is my first time here ever since I came up to Seoul.
- Me too.
That castle wall is really beautiful.
Wow~...
- There are so many trees.
Can you feel the trees trying to talk to us?
Did you guys come here to film?
- Hey, there's lunacy in your eyes.
Look closely, isn't there lunacy in his eyes?
- He's the only person that I've met who can communicate with trees.
- (Narration) The three are looking for houses along the mountain road.
The Grand Prince An-pyeong wanted to believe this was the paradise painted in Mongyu-dowon-do.
Those who wanted enter the paradise drawn on the painting
came to live inside the landscapes of Bu-am area.
- Huh?
This is that place.
- What?
- The house that came out in Coffee Prince.
- Oh!
- This came out, Lee Sun-gyun's house in Coffee Prince.
Wow.
It was here.
Can I have coffee and such if I pay for it?
- No, no.
- I can't?
- We can't at all. Not even drinking coffee at a cafe.
- Is this a house too?
This is also that place.
From The Discovery of Dating.
That place came out as a workshop, right?
They do a lot of filming here.
- Because the neighborhood is pretty.
- There are so many pretty places.
- This, this.
It's really delicious if you grill pork belly on stones like this.
Stone-grilled pork belly is awesome.
I wish we have grilled pork belly for dinner today.
- Pork belly...
I want marinated ribs. It's so good to eat marinated ribs
with cold noodles.
- That's so good.
- If you wrap the marinated ribs with the cold noodles like this.
- And when you eat it, the marinated ribs are still warm.
- You chew on the warm meat while also chewing on the cold noodles.
- (Narration) Dreaming of meat.
Well, they are free to imagine.
- When you get married. A house, villa, or apartment.
Where do you want to live?
- Me?
Nowadays, I want to live in a house.
- In a house?
- Yes.
- Are you going to get married?
- I heard it's high maintenance. I don't know about that yet.
Even if I happen to get married at 35,
you each have lived a certain way for 35 years, and to meet and live together overnight
seems like a very difficult thing to do.
- It is hard.
But if you meet the right person, you can overcome that.
If you meet the right person, it's like that person is giving me this world.
My past 35 years is meaningless.
- I haven't felt anything like that yet.
- Are you going out with someone?
- No.
I wish I can meet someone
who can give me that change of heart.
- I'm a prophet.
I got everything right recently.
When Cho U-jong came out on Ask Us Anything, I asked him if he had a girlfriend,
to be honest, and then 3 days later, he announced his wedding plans
and that he had a girlfriend. - Then when do you think I'll get married?
- Now we need to have some conversations.
- Hello.
- Do you live here? - Yes.
- How is it living here and seeing this scenery all the time?
- It's nice.
Is this Let's Eat Dinner Together? - Yes.
Is it nice every time you see it?
- The scenery?
- Do you want to come in?
- Can we?
Wow, lucky.
- Thank you.
Can we come in? - Yes, you can.
- Wow, he's going to show us around.
- You live here in this tent?
- Jeez.
- This is just my hobby.
- Oh, outdoors.
- Wow~...
- Wow, like this here.
- This is amazing.
- Drinking a cup of tea.
- This is pretty nice.
- Why this is really nice.
- How are the summers here? - It's nice in the summer too.
- Really fantastic. Nice view!
- Here...
- Unbelievable.
- He's exactly same as on TV.
- Right?
- Scenery, I compliment you.
- Compliment you~!
- It's my first time complimenting a scenery.
It's so nice, isn't it?
- I want to live in a place like this.
Sir, we see a lot of crocks while walking around for the show.
For crocks that are closed tight
there's a high possibility that they aren't being used.
But this one is a breathing crock.
- My father is making soybean paste and soy sauce right now.
- Can we open it?
- See it being fermented.
- He's really making it.
- Wow, this is soy sauce.
He must be a great cook.
- It's really soy sauce.
- Are you a student or are you working?
- I take photographs while traveling.
So I've hung photographs in the front over there.
- You took them yourself.
- I travel on a bicycle.
- Wow.
- What's your job?
- I used to be a student... - Oh, a student.
- But I quit school.
- Out of all the places you've traveled, which was the most impressive?
- I started from Vladivostok
and cycled all the way to Portugal.
- On the bicycle? - How many days on the bicycle?
- For 2 years.
- You rode from Vladivostok to Portugal on the bicycle for 2 years?
- Can we call you a photographer?
- No, a traveler.
- I do various jobs.
- Then...
- This is no joke.
- As you traveled from Vladivostok to Portugal
for 2 years, what is the one conclusion you came up with?
- That's a really good question.
- A realization after 2 years.
- I'm 26 years old, and I hadn't studied that hard.
Truthfully, about life in itself and doing challenges,
I was sort of scared and didn't have much confidence.
Through this trip, I went through major challenges
and gained some confidence.
- I see.
- Kyung-kyu, look at these photographs.
He took all these. - Yes.
I was here last winter.
- Oh, you're sleeping in the tent here.
- Yes.
- You hung these so people can enjoy it while passing by.
- All the neighbors here are close with each other.
Since I traveled these places, I wanted our neighborhood grandmas
or people to see them.. - For the elders to see?
- It's great that you followed your dreams for 2 years
but how about your girlfriend?
- I had a girlfriend.
- They were separated.
- My girlfriend studied in England while I traveled.
So she waited for me during that time.
- Oh, so you didn't break up?
- So we came back to Korea together and are getting married next year.
- Wow!
If you meet the right person, you can't part.
- That's right.
- Then you get married.
- I leave with another realization. - What you were worrying about...
- Thank you.
- This neighborhood... - It's cold but somewhat bright and warm.
- Yeah, and they're so warm-hearted.
- I don't think it'll be easy.
- I don't think there will be a lot of people at home.
I don't think they'll be home.
It's not easy.
- Ah...
- I claim this house.
This house has a poem written largely on the wall...
Wow.
- What flower blooms without being swayed.
All the beautiful flowers in this world bloomed as they swayed.
Do Jong-hwan wrote a lot of beautiful poems.
- This is a wooden house.
- Kyung-kyu, you have finally begun to look out for the trees.
- It's a wooden house.
- I claim this wooden house.
Oh my, look at that sparrow.
- The sparrow's really pretty. - It's so pretty.
It perched gracefully.
Isn't nature so funny?
After bearing through the winter, the buds are preparing to sprout.
- Already. - It's getting ready.
It's just about to...
- Is winter passing already?
- Kyung-kyu, the first day of spring passed.
- Really?
- Soon, these buds will sprout.
- The market truck.
- Isn't that Ye-rim's market truck?
- There are no supermarkets around here.
- Grocery shopping even once would be a big errand...
Carrots, pumpkins...
- Sweet persimmons, strawberries.
- The sweet potatoes look good.
- He must have many regular customers here, right?
- I think he'd know them.
Why are theses houses so uphill or downhill?
Let's go to a house on a flatland.
What's this...
- (Narration) Strong Bovely shares her energy with Kyung-kyu.
She's an energizer with endless positive energy.
- I'll push.
- (Narration) After pushing and pulling each other up and down
the mountain roads of Bu-am area, their hour of destiny has come.
- It's now 6 PM here. - I know.
- But didn't the day get longer? - It did.
- Just a few weeks ago, when we'd start out at 6 PM.
- It was night.
- It was really dark.
- The day is longer and the weather is cold.
- And we're hungry. - So now...
Kyung-kyu, should we start with this house?
- The lights are on.
- If we ring and are told to come in, that's awesome for us.
- But...
But wouldn't that take the fun away from the viewers?
- We do what we need to do. The rest is up to the production crew.
They can add footage or apply slow motion like this.
We don't need to worry about that.
Kyung-kyu, what do you think? - She came out.
- Things can happen one way or the other.
- Hello.
- Did you eat? - Not yet.
- Hurry, talk to her.
- We're on JTBC's Let's Have Dinner Together.
If you haven't had dinner...
Can we eat with you?
- At our place?
- Yes.
- We have an elderly at home, so I'll ask.
- She left.
- You guys are uneasy, aren't you.
The production crew is scared...
- For me ...
- Their hearts are thumping.
- If she says yes, I'll go in by myself.
- You're going too far, Kyung-kyu. Too far.
- She's taking a long time. - It's taking longer than expected.
The entrance lit up.
The lights turned on right now.
She's coming out right now. She's coming out herself.
Go speak to her alone.
- Hello. - Oh my, hello. You're so pretty.
- Do you know who I am?
- Of course. Park Bo-young.
- Thank you.
- (Narration) Not having rung the bell once
We really might have to increase footage using slow motion.
- (Narration) Not having rung the bell once
We really might have to increase footage using slow motion.
- We have an elderly and sick people too, so... - Oh, I'm sorry.
Thank you though.
- (Narration) What a false call.
- Thank you.
- Hello.
- Thank you. - There are sick people...
- Thank you.
- Did you see her a lot?
- She's so pretty.
- Which film do you best remember?
- A Werewolf Boy.
- She's a total fan.
- I saw your movie with Cha Tae-hyun too. - Scandal Makers.
- Thank you.
Have a good evening.
- Do you know what film Cha Tae-hyun came out in before Scandal Makers?
- Mystery Music Show Mask King.
- Oh!
- It's Highway Star.
- Now that I think about it, that show got its name from your film.
- What name.
Now, let's go.
- We're going?
- From here?
- (Narration) Bovely's first ring.
- Focus.
- Nervous?
Are you nervous?
- Yes.
- You need to show your face.
- Cameras, sit down a little bit.
- Who is it?
- Yes, hello.
I'm Park Bo-young.
- Yes.
- Do you know Park Bo-young?
- No.
- I come out on TV.
We're on a show called Let's Have Dinner Together
on JTBC.
- Yes. - Talk her about your works...
- If you had dinner...
- No thank you.
- Alright, I'm sorry.
Ah...
She said no thank you.
- You started out wrong.
You should've said actress Park Bo-young.
- Oh...
- If they don't know you, then you start listing your works.
Have you seen this movie?
- Then I'll say, hello, I'm actress Park Bo-young.
- Start with that and then keep explaining.
- Alright, do it freely.
- Unleash your persuasion skills.
Did you ring the bell?
- Yes.
- Who is it?
- Yes, hello.
I'm actress Park Bo-young.
Do you know who I am?
- I already ate...
- Oh, you already ate?
- I'm sorry.
- If you hadn't eaten dinner, would you have invited us to eat?
- Yes.
- You ate dinner early.
Your pajamas are the fanciest I've ever seen this year.
Can you show us once?
- Just the pants...
It's cold, go on in. - Alright.
- Your pants are so fancy.
Kyung-kyu, look at the slope.
- I'm so exhausted right now.
Here.
- It's a big house.
- I don't think the lights are on. - The lights aren't on?
- It won't hurt to try.
Wow, how daring.
Before ringing the bell, we calm down our hearts.
- (Narration) A physically and mentally strong Bovely makes a daring challenge.
- No one's home.
- I guess no one's home. Goodbye.
- Someone's coming out.
- I fell for it even though I saw...
- This house.
- Bo-young, Bo-young.
This one's a 100% chance.
There's a parked car and a child's bicycle.
And wooden.
The house is wooden.
100%, 100%.
That's it.
Show your face.
- Hello.
- Yes.
- Hello, I'm actress Park Bo-young.
- Yes, hello.
- Just a minute...
Just a minute...
Do you know who I am? - Yes, I do, I do.
- Yes, nice to meet you.
Do you know JTBC's Let's Eat Dinner Together?
- Yes, yes.
- Is there anyone else at home?
- My father and my nephew...
- Oh, your nephew.
If it's alright with you, can we have dinner with you?
- Just a minute, I'm slightly baffled.
He went in to talk about it.
- What, what...
- Hello.
- Oh my.
Hello.
What brings you here...
- We're on a show where we have dinner with the residents.
- We already ate.
- Oh, is that so?
- We're sorry. - We ate dinner.
- Is that right? - We're sorry .
- We're sorry.
- It's alright.
- No, no. Thank you.
- Thank you.
- They raise trees...
- This isn't easy.
I thought it would easily work out at the first house.
- This is hard. - It isn't easy today.
- (Narration) Together with Bovely, they thought doors would open wide.
It's not today as well.
- This is ambiguous.
This neighborhood doesn't have many houses.
- (Narration) Because the houses are scattered along the foot of the mountain
it is an especially difficult evening in Bu-am area.
- Kyung-kyu.
Pork belly.
Oh, the smell.
You can smell it, right?
Wow, that smell.
Wow~...
- It smells like a pork belly restaurant here.
- (Narration) Will they be able to taste the meat?
- The lights are on.
- Yeah, ring the bell.
- My face won't show. -It will, it will.
- With your voice...
- Who is it?
- Hello, ma'am.
I'm actress Park Bo-young.
- Yes?
- I'm actress Park Bo-young.
- Yes.
- Do you know who I am?
- Not really...
- Did you see the movie Scandal Makers?
- No.
- Oh...
I come out on TV.
- Yes.
- Do you know our show, Let's Eat Dinner Together?
- Not really.
- Oh...
Did you have dinner?
- I'm cooking dinner right now.
- You're cooking right now?
- Say it's okay.
Ask if she can let us in and give us food.
- There's three of us here.
If it's alright with you, can we go in and help you prepare dinner and...
- My son's not home yet.
- Your son's not home yet?
- Tell her we can wait. - When will he come?
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you.
What did she say?
- I can't hear her.
Ma'am, ma'am. Did she hang up?
I can't hear her well.
She doesn't know me .
She'll think I'm a strange person... - Let's move on, Kyung-kyu.
- Isn't she coming out?
Ma'am.
- Who is Park Bo-young?
- Hello, ma'am.
- Yes, yes.
I know Lee Kyung-kyu. - Hello, ma'am.
- When will your son come home?
- He'll come home later.
- Will it be inconvenient for you if we go in to eat?
- I can't cook you dinner.
How can I feel this many...
- No, no. Only us three will eat.
- We don't have side dishes.
- How about your husband?
- My husband passed away.
Only elders live around here.
- I see.
- I'm the youngest in this area.
- Then your son is at work...
- I have two sons. One is at home.
- He's at home right now?
Then can you ask him if we can eat together?
- He said he doesn't want to.
- Really?
Really?
- Yes.
- Ma'am, we'll be on our way.
- I'm sorry.
- No problem at all.
We'll count this as a meal and be on our way.
- Thank you.
We don't have time...
The lights are on.
Go, Lee Bo-young.
Calm your heart and be confident...
Lee Bo-young?
- I, I mean.
Park Bo-young.
- Why are you making such decisive mistakes?
Hey!
You said Kang Bo-young...
- I'm not gonna try this house.
I have a bad feeling.
I was about the ring the bell and he said 'Go, Lee Bo-young.'
I'm sorry, Lee Bo-young.
Oh, Ho-dong. Why are you doing that?
Hurry up and get up.
Let's add Lee Bo-young's energy. - Okay, okay.
Yeah, add both Lee Bo-young and Park Bo-young.
- Yes, hello.
I'm actress Park-Bo-young.
- Did you have dinner?
- This is TV...
- This is TV.
- Yes.
- This is a workshop.
- I'm sorry.
He said this is a workshop.
- Oh, a workshop?
It's not a house? - No.
- This is stifling.
- What should we do.
- Let's hurry up, Kyung-kyu.
- Yeah.
The houses are scattered.
- Wow, I don't think there were any houses up until that big road.
- We're walking uphill and downhill so much today.
- Really, we're walking uphill a lot today.
- This is a temple.
- Temple food is really good.
- I think the lights are out.
- It's hard to eat a meal.
- Hello, sir.
Are you not going home?
- No.
- Here...
I'm sorry.
- I'll apologize on his behalf.
- Sir, where are you going after work....
- I forgot.
- Wow, this is so pretty.
- (Narration) They've encountered a gem-like night scape of Bu-am area while searching for houses.
- Isn't Bu-am area like the rural area within the city?
- Very literary, but just one thing.
They're not giving us food.
- (Narration) Will a meal merely be a pie in the sky within this picturesque place?
- Wait, Kyung-kyu.
It's 7 PM right now.
- Because you two need to eat.
I'll find where next house is.
Come slowly. I'll go first to see if the lights are on.
Hurry hurry.
Shall we gather our strengths and hurry up and go?
We don't have much time.
I think they'll all be eating.
- Here, here. Do you see?
The lights are on.
- The lights are on?
I don't think anyone's home.
- The lights are on, though.
Maybe they saw your face...
You made many mistakes right now.
To a person doing her best, you say 'Go, Lee Bo-young.' Does this make sense?
Huh?
Jo Se-ho.
Get your senses together, Jo Se-ho.
Jo Se-ho, you...
That's why this isn't working out.
The lights are on.
- Bo-young, hurry, hurry...
Hurry, hurry.
- Hello.
- That freaked me out.
- Hello, ma'am.
Hello. - Hello, ma'am.
My name is Park Bo-young.
- Yes, yes.
- Do you know me, ma'am?
- I can't see you well.
- You don't know me well, right?
I'm Park Bo-young.
Nice to meet you.
Did you have dinner?
- Yes. Oh no.
- Oh, you ate.
- What did you have for dinner?
- I was alone so I ate simply.
- We should've come faster and eaten with you.
- I know.
I did see this show before.
My husband happened to leave early today, so I ate alone...
I'm sorry. What should I do?
- Thank you, ma'am.
- We don't have much time, so we'll be on our way.
- Yes, I'm sorry.
- Thank you, ma'am.
- We started walking up from there in the afternoon.
This is the most I've ever walked for this show.
Today, today. - We walked a lot.
- The slopes were the worst.
- What should we do...
- (Narration) After walking through a section with no houses
a light appears at the end of the residential area.
If they fail, they need to walk a long way down the mountain road to the other side.
- Kyung-kyu, I think there's a mother in the kitchen.
That looks like a son.
- It's a mother.
- Yes, who is it?
- Yes, hello.
Ma'am, I'm Park Bo-young.
- Wait.
I'll go down. - Alright.
- Do you know who she is?
- You look like Kang Ho-dong.
At first glance, you seemed like Kang Ho-dong.
- Yes, and do you know Park Bo-young?
- I might not know her well.
My son knows her.
He said he'll go down in a sec.
- Okay.
- We'll wait, ma'am.
- Alright.
- The son's coming.
- I should do some soap operas.
- By being on soap operas...
- People won't know if you suddenly say, 'Hello, I'm Park Bo-young.'
- If you work just a little bit harder.
- Yes, I'll do my very best.
- Oh, the son.
Son...
- Sir.
We're from Let's Eat Dinner Together.
- Did you have dinner?
You didn't have dinner yet?
- Oh my, hello, sir.
- You should've called beforehand.
- We can't do that on this show.
- Yes, Kang Ho-dong.
- Hello.
- Hello, ma'am.
- Sir, if you didn't have dinner yet, could we...
- We ate.
- You ate?
- We're just about to.
- My father ate.
- But you didn't eat, right? - No. We're divided downstairs and upstairs.
- Then we can eat with you, ma'am.
- We need to have dinner together.
- No.
- If you're shy then...
You don't have to.
It's not easy to film and be on a show like this, right?
- So what are you going to do?
What do you need...
We don't need anything.
We were trying to go in and eat together.
But it's a lot of work, with filming and all.
- At our house?
Oh, you're going to eat at our house?
- We go in and eat dinner.
But you need to join us too.
Oh, really? Come in.
- Ma'am, you thought we were going to eat out?
- Yes, yes.
- No, no, we... - Thank you.
- You misunderstood.
- Nice to meet you.
- Then let's go in.
We'll go in.
- (Narration) Darkness has fallen on the mountains of Bu-am area.
The three are jumping into the picturesque home and its dinner table.
- Mother, it's Kang Ho-dong.
You know, on TV.
- Ma'am, we're from the broadcasting station.
- Hello. - (Narration) This is the show's first house with three generations.
- Now I recognize Kang Ho-dong.
Wow, Kang Ho-dong is visiting our home.
- You have many family members. It's a big family.
- Look there...
- It's a really big family.
- Ma'am, did you have dinner?
- We're divided downstairs and upstairs.
- So they ate first.
- They eat early.
Your son didn't eat yet?
- I had come back to make dinner
and while cooking, I looked out like this.
I was just about to get dinner ready...
- What do you do?
- I'm a graduate student.
- Is your husband out somewhere?
- Yes, he's on a business trip.
- Oh~
Have you seen our show before?
- No, I haven't.
-Oh, you haven't.
- I think you have.
What's the name of our show?
Let's Have Dinner Together.
Ma'am, let's have dinner together.
- Since they're done with their meal here...
- Then shall we go upstairs?
- Then upstairs...
- Yes, yes.
- We'll give you dinner.
- Yes.
- Ma'am, prepare your dinner as usual.
Thank you. I didn't think we'd be able to have dinner today...
- Wow, the 2nd floor here...
- Oh, there's a separate kitchen up here and is different on each floor.
Ma'am, is there anything I can help with?
- Here, if you don't do grocery shopping, there's nothing.
So I'll prepare with what we have.
What should I do.
- Is there anything I can help with?
- No, no.
- Should I place the spoons?
- You should've come in the afternoon.
- Why in the afternoon, ma'am?
- The scenery is so nice.
I love looking down from here.
- Really?
- Let's take a look.
- Wow~...
- You see this night view every day?
You don't see it if you live here?
- You only see it the first week.
- That's the answer.
You don't really see after the first week.
- There's nothing much...
- Ma'am, can we help with anything?
- No.
There's nothing.
Because I just came back from work
so there's nothing. What should I do?
- It doesn't matter.
Meat...
There's meat...
- (Narration) There is meat.
The meat that Ho-dong and Bo-young have been singing about.
- Oh my...
- Since I can't prepare breakfast, I try to make proper dinner meals.
-This is pork neck.
This...
I'm going to finish this up today.
I wish we have grilled pork belly for dinner today.
- Grilled pork belly.
It's so good to eat marinated ribs with cold noodles.
- (Narration) One will cross paths if meant to be.
Perhaps it was destiny that they'd have meat today.
- Should I do sunny-side up?
Or...
- That's it, that's it.
Oh, you're good.
- Whee.
- Ma'am, how long have you lived here?
- It's been 40 years.
- About 40 years. Wow...
- You look the same as before.
- Who? Me?
- Cutie, cu-cu-cutie.
- Oh my, no.
How many children do you have, ma'am?
- Three sons, one daughter.
This is my first son.
- Ma'am, what do you do?
- I work in the trading business.
For clothing...
- Clothing... - Outdoor clothing.
- We have a factory in China.
- Then your children...
- I have two sons. My younger son graduated and is working.
He said he had to go somewhere today and went to meet his friend.
- He went out for a personal engagement.
- It would've been nice if their Dad was here.
- Where did he go for his business trip?
- He went to another province. He has a hobby in postage stamps
so he's on the committee for Korea's postage stamps.
- Postage stamps?
- Yes.
I can't find it right now.
- Wow~!
- You're in graduate school now.
- In the doctoral program.
- Doctoral?
What school?
- Korea University.
- Korea University?
What's your major again?
- It's Japanese modern literature.
Within that, I'm studying Korean-japanese literature.
- Oh, Korean-Japanese...
Korean-Japanese literature. - Bo-young, have a taste.
See if it's cooked well.
If it's cooked well.
- You need to cook a bit more.
- I mean, nowadays...
How's the seasoning?
- Yum~ It's so good.
Really. This is not a lie...
It's so good. - Is it all cooked?
The seasoning is so good.
Right?
Isn't it so good?
- How fortunate it is that we had meat.
What would we have done if we didn't have this?
- This is so good.
- What's this book?
- I think it's the book my father wrote?
- What?
- It looks like the book my father wrote.
- Postage stamps?
- He collects stamps.
- Your father?
- Yes.
- Is he working for the organizing committee here?
- He retired from the Board of Audit and Inspection
and started his own business.
- Your father too?
- He just started.
- Kang Ho-dong hasn't aged.
You are more good-looking in person.
- Did you like me since my wrestling days?
- I did.
- During the wrestling match between Lee Yi Man-gi and Kang Ho-dong
who did you cheer for?
- Kang Ho-dong.
- How about you, sir?
- It's a pain if you ask.
- He cheered for Yi Man-gi.
- (Narration) Juggling between work and housework,
the mother prepares a quick but abundant dinner.
- Young-ho, there's a square table, not the one for ancestral rites.
- (Narration) The son gets a big table for a bigger family.
Strong man Kang Ho-dong helps out.
- One, two, three. - Stay here.
- Where are you going?
- Downstairs.
- (Narration) Everyone pitches into preparing for the dinner table in Bu-am area.
- Pork.
- Kyung-kyu, pork neck.
We grilled pork neck.
- There's pork? - Pork.
- This is marinated pork?
- Yes.
- We happened to say that we had to eat pork today.
- (Narration) Kyung-kyu brings out today's highlight or pork himself.
- Bo-young.
- Yes.
- If you want to know one's food, you need to... - ...taste their kimchi.
It's at the delicious stage right before it ripens.
- How long as it been since you moved here?
- My grandfather and grandmother lived here first.
Then when I was 5, we moved here and have been living together ever since.
We built a new house here a few years ago.
- Re-construction?
- A new building?
- It's seaweed soup.
- Seaweed soup?
- (Narration) In a picturesque home, a picturesque meal has been prepared.
- There are a lot of side dishes.
- One, two.
Dinner at Bu-am area.
- (Narration) This is the dinner table of one big family living in Bu-am area.
Rice, seaweed soup, and various side dishes,
along with meat that they'd be wishing for today. It's a dinner table come true.
Ma'am. - Yes.
- We have a section in our show.
It's called One Meal Theater.
You and your son will eat like you usually do.
And we'll film you for 2~3 minutes like Real Theater.
- Alright.
- Kyung-kyu, me, and Park Bo-young are invisible. You need to imagine we're not here.
One Meal Theater, ready.
- Someone's here.
- Is he your son? - Yes.
- Then...
- Your big brother?
- I'm the big brother.
- Your younger brother?
- He's the younger brother.
- Oh, big brother.
- Younger brother.
Then starting from when he enters, we'll begin Real Theater.
One Meal Theater, action.
- Jae-ho, come here.
Just take off your coat.
- One Meal Theater has begun.
- Come on and sit.
Young-ho, go ahead and eat.
Jae-ho, eat some seaweed soup.
Young-ho, eat some meat.
Do you want dried seaweed?
- Do other families talk a lot?
- Just do it.
- We just quietly eat like this without talking.
If their father is here, he would talk about this and that.
I'm not very talkative and neither are both...
Eat some meat.
- Why did they happen to come to our place?
- They were passing by.
I was being nosy and looked out the window.
There's a piece of hair...
- It's my love.
- Her first son is very chic.
- Now stop and go ahead and eat. - Alright.
This was Park Bo-young's rice.
- Go ahead and eat.
- You just ate it all.
- Park Bo-young...
Oh my God.
- You didn't know?
- What?
- You didn't know?
- Do I look different than on TV?
- That's not it.
We should give her some rice.
His glasses were fogged up when he looked.
- Oh my God.
- Where...
Where have you gone?
- Yes?
- Where had you been?
- I had a job interview.
- For work?
I'll just eat this much. - Take this too.
I was angry so I had a drink.
- Thank you.
- Now?
- It didn't go well?
- During the day?
Because it didn't go well?
You were sad? - I got angry.
Ma'am, we'll enjoy the food. - Thank you for the food.
- (Narration) Amidst endless walks and cold weather, these three didn't lose hope
and fulfilled their dream of meat.
- You said you wanted to eat pork, and we really are.
- (Narration) These two are living the life.
- Three compliments.
- (Narration) Energizer Bo-young focuses on the meat with her gifted chopsticks.
From pork to chicken.
She has extraordinary deboning skills.
For the younger brother who messed up his interview and the poker-faced big brother, it is a perfect meal.
The mother is full even without eating.
- Ma'am, this is so good.
- (Narration) They have met paradise with one meal.
- Ma'am, if your sons don't talk a lot
don't you get a bit upset?
- There's nothing to be upset about.
Because they've never once drunk or
smoked cigarettes or anything like that...
- He drank in the middle of the day.
He just came back from drinking.
- Well, today could be an exception, haha...
I mean, I've never once had to scold my children.
- The older son is studying Japanese history.
- Korean-Japanese. - Korean-Japanese literature.
And here, Chinese language and literature.
- But he loves to write.
This is...
- Don't do that, don't do that.
- I made into a book what my son wrote during his 2 years in the military.
- Are they poems?
- Who knows what could happen?
- Written by Lee Jae-ho.
A poem about facing life at the battlefront.
- It's not published...
- What he wrote every day while he was on guard or going through his military service
was so precious to me, so for my son,
I gave him this as a present on Christmas Eve.
- So this isn't officially released by the publisher?
- On the Internet, they have books like this...
- Why?
- I hope he takes after his father.
Your husband who takes in your bullshit...
- No, that's about his ex-girlfriend in the past...
- There's more.
- I hope he takes after his father. Your husband who takes in your bullshit. - This is about his ex...
- How nice would he be.
Did you know about your brother's world of poetry?
You didn't know about this world of poetry?
That your brother did this?
- Because these two are years apart
so he's scared of his older brother the most.
- There's a big age difference?
How much?
- By 6 years.
- I thought he was the big brother.
- He's young...
- I'm surprised that we are the same age.
- With Bo-young?
How do you know her age?
- Weren't you born in 1990?
- That's right.
-1990, 1970, 1960.
- Really?
- The elders downstairs are 1930, 1940.
- That's right.
- (Narration) All generations from the 1930s to 1990s live together in this house.
- The two brothers have different personalities.
- I think you two are completely different.
- He's the typical oldest son style and calm and quiet.
- My younger son talks a lot with me and...
I think he has a funny character.
His glasses fogged over...
...and did this. - Kyung-kyu, his reactions are big too.
- Woah! Woah!
- It's a good thing he came.
- What?
- It's a good thing he came.
- Everything could've focused on me
but that went over there so it's comfortable.
So...
How do you feel about seeing Park Bo-young in person?
- It's very nice.
- Thank you.
- A precious experience.
- I'm so happy.
- Yes?
- I'm so happy.
You have a really small face.
- Really? Thank you.
- And if he exactly knew that she was born in 1990,
he did a search on Park Bo-young online
and scanned her profile. Right?
- I once had her picture as the background image of my instant messenger.
- Oh...
It's an honor.
- No, no.
- Do you love her?
- What?
Do you love her.
- What love. Out of nowhere.
- Isn't that too old?
- We did this a lot in the past, asking about love.
- I know.
- Do you usually not smile?
- I do smile.
- What variety show do you enjoy watching?
- Infinite Challenge.
My brother watches that a lot, though.
Ask Us Anything.
- Really?
- I was really curious about that part.
About what? Ask Us Anything?
- No, which one you like better.
- That's a boring question.
Which do you like better, Let's Eat Dinner Together or Ask Us Anything?
- But I am really curious.
Because if you go film the other show like this, it'll get complicated.
- If you do that, you'll get hit.
- You normally don't like Kang Ho-dong, right?
- I like you better than Yoo Jae-suk.
Really.
- He's here...
- An elder son is an elder son.
- You guys get along, and we get along.
- You're both not talkative.
- We have similar personalities.
- Have you ever gotten hit by your brother?
- Of course.
- You got hit?
Your big brother hit you?
I think he smiled for the first time
- While growing up...
When we were little.
- When you're little, you fight and such.
- Yes, when you're little...
I got hit by my big sister too.
- At that time, I wasn't like this.
I wasn't the type to earn a beating or anything like that.
But he just came and hit me.
- Really?
But the way you talk, I think you'd get hit.
- He asked for it. - He's the type to earn a beating.
- You guys should understand that
he just had a drink today... - That's right.
- He's overly bold right now.
- I think so, seeing that he's talking well.
- Do you guys text each other?
- When there's delivery.
- Delivery?
- Only when there's delivery? - Young-ho, the delivery is here.
- By text?
- No, at the door, that delivery is here.
To take it.
- Do you still have fear about your brother?
- No, it's not really fear, but I feel like I'm with a boss from work...
Sometimes when I'm eating and he comes out, I suddenly can't eat.
- And you flinch?
- If I make noise when eating, I feel like I'll get scolded.
There are things like that.
- What kind of little brother is he?
Our Jae-ho?
- Good.
We respect each other's privacy.
- Ma'am, when there are only guys,
the conversation is definitely very dry.
- They don't talk much.
- Because last week, I had dinner with a mother and daughter.
But they talked a lot.
- You don't rest.
- Without resting.
- We don't talk much.
We each do our own thing.
Even without words, we know just by looking at each other.
I don't think I've ever told them to go study. Really.
Sometimes when the lights were on, I'd have to tell them to sleep.
- He's quivering? He's saying no and quivering.
- No, to your brother~ Not to you.
- Your brother always has his lights on until 2 or 3 AM. - I didn't study that much.
- You had the lights on and didn't sleep?
- I played games...
- Oh, playing games?
- (Narration) A fun evening listening to the rest of the story.
Right now, if the kids' dad was here,
you would've delirious from laughing so much.
- Can't we call him on the phone?
- Then I'll do it.
- Did he go to another province?
- Yes, he went on a business trip to for auditing.
- A business trip.
- He told me as he left in the morning so...
- Then you guys should call more often.
- Hang up.
- Wow, you listen to him well.
He said hang up, and he hung up right away.
His personality is really similar to mine.
I was thinking that.
I was thinking, stop calling...
Then here...
- Hang up.
- What's good about living in Bu-am area?
- First, the air is really good, and it's quiet.
So when it snows, you can hear it falling.
It's that much.
- Really?
- Yes, you can hear the snow piling up, and it's really really quiet.
It's like you're at a mountain temple. It's not easy here in Seoul.
So it's very quiet, and the air is fresh.
- Are you here as one-day guest?
- So I tend to come home early.
All you need to do is eat dinner together?
- So it's very...
- For a young person, isn't this neighborhood a little boring?
- There are lots of inconveniences.
- Right?
- First, public transportation is too far away.
Next, you get isolated when it snows.
- You get isolated when it snows?
- Yes... The cars can't get around.
- That's right.
What good things are there?
- It's nice because it's quiet.
- Here?
- I like these kind of places, surprisingly.
- He looks like Gangnam style.
- He laughed.
I really like places like this.
- I think he'll call you to the side.
Why are you saying that?
- When we're at it, I Praise You.
I'm So, So Upset.
You need to do that.
So we'll start with Young-ho's praises about his big brother.
My big brother is?
- Looks young for his age.
- My brother looks young for his age.
- He sharply picks up on things.
- Analytical skills.
His analytical skills.
- There are many things to say
but I praise this about my little brother.
- Just...
The house brightens up when he's around.
- Just with his existence? - Yes.
Somebody needs to do that.
He's good to our mom.
- He's good to his mom.
- Young-ho, this is sort of upsetting. First up.
- Just sometimes...
I wish he went out more often.
When he's home, like what I said before,
I feel like I'm with a boss from work.
When I'm doing something and he passes by, I get startled for no reason.
- I'm on winter break...
- He's on break, so where would he go.
- Where would I go.
That's a big one.
That's big.
- I imagined
my little sister telling me to please go out.
- He doesn't really get out of the house...
- What are you upset about your little brother?
- You should also go out and meet friends.
He's always at home too.
- You both stay at home.
- You two should go out.
- I went out today.
- I went to school.
- The kids don't go out much for no reason.
This place is isolated so it's hard to go out.
- You need to brace yourself if you want to go out.
Loving Mother.
Jae-ho, compliment your mother.
- Um, let's see.
I'm so happy because she's our mom.
- So.
- I'm so happy because she's our mom.
- Because she's our mom.
- There's nothing better than that.
To be happy because she's their mom, right?
- Thank you so much.
- It comes close to this poem.
- But ...
It's upsetting if we don't do I'm So So Upset, right?
- It's a really tiny thing.
- Of course.
Sometimes there's a lot of salt rocks in the fried eggs.
Sometimes too much than necessary.
My teeth are poor.
- They must not have many upsetting things.
- It's really small.
The upsetting part.
- Really small.
- Let's ask our mother, alright?
Say any compliments about your sons.
- They're all compliments.
Not because they're my sons but
if there aren't any bad things to point out, isn't that a compliment?
- Wow.
- I'm thankful that they're able to take care of themselves.
When they're sick, they go to the hospital. When they have no money, they figure out themselves.
At times I'm sorry that I can't give them allowances, but...
Where do you have the money to do your hair and such?
- I figure it out myself.
- They've never asked for allowances after graduating college.
If you see my cellphone, it's filled with flowers.
Because on Parents' Day or my birthday, my two sons always
give me flowers because I like them the best, so I took pictures of all of them.
And they always write a message with the flowers.
Among all the happy birthday messages,
what I can't forget even today is my eldest son...
wrote, 'I'm happy you are my mom.'
If you see here, the reason I can't forget is because up until now
I've never deleted a picture, These flowers were all given by my sons...
- I'll just look at that picture.
Just that picture, ma'am.
I won't see anything else.
Your sons gave all this to you?
- Yes, as a flower basket.
- It says I thought of you and sent you flowers.
- I just thought of you.
- Our youngest son sent flowers because he thought of me.
- I just thought of you.
This is a very literary expression.
- One day, I suddenly thought of Mom.
- Our lyrical friend, Jae-ho.
- He's a poet.
- (Narration) The two sons sent flowers as gifts.
Just because I thought of you, just because you are our mother.
- I felt that this is what a house with sons is like.
Our family has three daughters so it's always bustling
and we never stop talking.
I had always wished for a big brother or a younger brother
and now that I've come to a house
with only two sons, I think it definitely feels very different.
They may not talk much, but they depend on each other a lot.
Don't you feel that they really trust and love each other?
- A strong bond.
- Even though there's not much talk.
- Wow, that's not easy to find, but you found it.
- There's something like that.
In her eyes, you can feel she loves her sons very much.
- (Narration) Although quiet, the love between the mother and her sons was special.
- As I came up here, I saw a big family picture.
Then...
- My husband's the eldest son of the eldest son.
- What are the good things about a big family?
- You get to see them.
- So once a day.
How often do you eat altogether in a week?
- During the weekends, we try to eat together if there's nothing planned.
But downstairs, our father likes soft-boiled rice
and there has to be a stew, so the food is different.
Up here, my sons need to have some meat.
- You do all that by yourself?
- No, my mother also cooks, and I send down my cooked food
over the weekend, and my husband cares for his parents so
we eat out at a nearby place. Whenever we go out,
it has never been just us four.
- You took the elders?
- Always...
No matter what.
- This is our first time meeting a big family on this show.
The whole family...
- (Narration) The big family of three generations lives together respecting each other's lifestyles.
- Now, since we succeeded today,
we'll give you one minute to promote yourself. - It's really alright.
It's alright. - One minute passes fast.
- Do you know the drama series that Lee Bo-young is preparing right now?
- Park Bo-young.
- I'm not Lee Bo-young.
- That's the end.
You've given her the last damaging punch.
- Just don't do it.
It's really okay.
- Kang Bo-young's drama series.
- Isn't it Park Bo-young?
- He's trying to show that he intentionally got her name wrong.
- What's the title?
- Strong Woman Do Bong-soon.
- Do Bong-soon.
- Yes.
- Strong Woman.
- I'm tremendously strong that
I can easily throw someone like Kang Ho-dong.
Don't be angry or embarrassed that you lost to a woman.
I'm a slightly unusual case.
- What's your name in the drama?
- Do Bong-soon.
- She said Strong Woman Do Bong-soon three times just now.
- I told. I listen with one ear and spill it out with another.
- Are you slowly getting exhausted?
That's right, I'm exhausted.
- It's about time to end. - That's right.
We have a rule.
We have to do the dishes.
- That's right, we have to clean up.
We have to do that.
Since we were treated to dinner.
- Sure.
- Ma'am, who should do the dishes?
Bo-young, Ho-dong, Kyung-kyu.
- Here... - I should do it.
- Bo-young, between the older and younger brothers
pick one person to do the dishes with.
- Jae-ho, you do it.
- Bo-young will choose.
- I'll do it with Jae-ho.
- Alright, with the younger one.
- I also want to do it. - Really?
- Yes, I wish I'd do it.
Do you usually eat at home?
- Of course, I do.
Sometimes I cook for myself
or eat with my parents.
- Then you do the dishes yourself? - I do everything.
- Yourself? - Yes.
Do you help your mother a lot?
Do you do the dishes often?
- Me?
If my brother and I cook.
- Separately? What you've each eaten?
- We do separately from beginning to end.
- But your mother must feel secure with two sons.
- I think there are pros and cons.
But as time passes, I think she would need a daughter.
- Your mother? - Yeah.
A son just stays a son, but a daughter...
How should I say it.
A daughter can stay friends with her mom.
- No, no.
No.
I should take our spoons.
- Oh, ma'am, you're exercising.
Yes, we ate well, sir.
We ate very well.
- We enjoyed the food.
- We grilled pork and ate very well.
Sir, let's take a picture to commemorate.
- Now that you've seen me in real life, compared with on TV,
am I bigger or smaller?
- More good-looking.
- Than on TV?
- Do I come out ugly on TV?
Well, I didn't see you for a few months. You don't come out.
- Kang Ho-dong, are you finished with wrestling?
- Sir, I finished with wrestling 25 years ago.
It's been 25 years since I've quit sports. - Has it already been that long?
- Sir, you know Jae-ho.
He says Young-ho is difficult like a boss from work.
- That means all's going well.
It becomes like that later.
- Sir, ma'am, we'll take a picture.
- Yes, thank you.
- Say kimchi when we say 1, 2, 3.
- Yes, I will.
- 1, 2, 3.
- Kimchi.
- (Narration) Within a picturesque scenery at the foot of the mountain in Bu-am area
the 23rd house with a big family has been born.
- Hello.
- We've safely received the picture.
- Thank you.
- Thank you for the great memories.
- Thank you.
- No way that we're with these C-grade guys at a crucial point like this?
- It's me, today's guest.
- Someone powerful apart from him would come out, right?
- Sang-min, come in.
- This is the cafe street.
- This is our first time in a new town.
- Guests have no power. They're just sidekicks.
Huh? If you keep doing this, I won't let this show shine?
- I won't forget.
Thank you so much.
- What's wrong with him?
When he comes out on this show?
- It's a fake.
- Don't slander him in front of me.
Ho-dong is our bro from Ask Us Anything.
- One rolls after doing Paper, Rock, Scissors.
- You comrades roll.
- Aren't you jealous of this?
- Hey!
What!
Dang-da-ra-dang dang-dang-dang-dang-dang.
I'm Kim Young-chul. I'm hungry~.
- We don't know what will happen.
- You think we'll succeed?
- I'm comedian Kim Young-chul. Can we eat together?
- Together?
- Yes, just Lee Kyung-kyu and me.
- I'll think about it.
- Then we'll wait.
That way.
Please think comfortably.
They're not fighting, are they?
- Jang Yun-jeong.
- Jang Yun-jeong lives here?
- Oh My Goodness Jang Yun-jeong?
Hello?
- Who is it?
- Yun-jeong.
- Huh? Young-chul?
- Ma'am, we'll go now.
- Thank you.
- Be healthy.
- Alright, good luck.
- Yes, thank you.
Although we don't know how they live, during that short time eating together,
I could feel this is what they're like or how things are.
To feel this when eating one meal together
is so cool.
- Was it fun?
- Yes, it was very fun.
- May Do Bong-soon make a big hit.
- Thank you.
- Viewer rating of 30%.
Let's wish good luck for Strong Woman Do Bong-soon, Kyung-kyu.
