- (Narration) The subway, transportation for 10 million people.
Amidst people who are busily going to their destinations,
there are two men dressed up in the 80's style.
- What's with your outfit?
- Retro style.
- What?
- Retro.
- It looks good on you.
- What?
- It looks good on you.

Anyway, where are they going to have dinner today?
- Me...
- Kyung-kyu, last week...
Bukchon.
- What?
- I'll reveal this later.
- Let's just see where we're going.
- Let's talk about Bukchon from last week.
- Hurry up.
Where is this?
- It's Ssang-mun area, Kyung-kyu.
- Ssang-mun area?
Ssang-mun area?
We got on at Hye-hwa station.

Kyung-kyu, Ssang-mun area is that.

Ssang-mun area.
- That could be it.
- Yeah?
That took place in Ssang-mun area.

- Hye-ri.
- It's Hye-ri because Girl's Day have begun their promotions.
- Hye-ri is from Girl's Day?
- She's from Girl's Day.
Then that works out perfectly.
- Hye-ri?
- Hye-ri and...
Yes, Girl's Day.
- (Narration) Will Ho-dong's reasoning hit the mark?
Ssang-mun area of Do-bong district in Seoul.
The area is named for the village door placed at the crossroads,
but there's also a theory that it was named for its twin memorial gates.
Actually, Ssang-mun area first became noticed thanks to a cartoonist.
In the national cartoon "Dooly the Little Dinosaur," Ssang-mun area is where
Dooly floats down the Ui River on a glacier and lives with Go Gildong's family.
And recently.
- Hey, we've got 3 minutes.
- (Narration) Ssang-mun area became popular again
through the TV series that moved the hearts of many.
When did you come?
- Yesterday.
Are you going to school?
- (Narration) At an alley where it feels like
the characters will open the doors at any moment.
A meal at these houses.
Will Ssang-mun area reply?
Let's Have Dinner Together, Episode 24. Reply Ssang-mun Area.
- The staff are surprised at me right now.
It's Girl's Day, right?
It's Hye-ri.
She's here.
She's here, she's here.
To the right.
- Wow!
- I got it right.
I got it right. Minah, I got you right.
I got you right. - Hello.
- (Narration) As Ho-dong guessed, it is Hye-ri of Girl's Day.
The daughter of Ssang-mun area who made us laugh and cry is really here.
- Oh my, Mister Kim.
Nice to meet you, nice to meet you indeed.
- (Narration) Hye-ri.
Nice to meet you, nice to meet you indeed.
And Girl's Day Minah, who will bring endless energy to today's journey.
These guests will join for dinner in Ssang-mun area.
- Do you know us?
- I do.
- But I...
Who am I?
- Aren't you Minah?
Unbelievable.
- You're amazing.
When I said, nice to see you, Minah,
you heard that?
- Hear what? I know.
- He has amazing wits.
- (Narration) If Ga-hee, I mean, Hani from last week hears this, she'll be very sad.
- Do you have anything to do with Ssang-mun area, Minah?
- Nothing at all.
You were swept here, huh?
I brought her here.
- In Girl's Day, Minah is a certified check for entertainment,
and Hye-ri just reacts really well.
Her reactions are totally...
- Of course.
Are you guys from the same company?
- I suppose Girl's Day just released an album?
- This is a no-no.
Because we have a rule about this.
When Park Bo-young came out on our show, the viewer ratings...
- Don't talk long.
It's so annoying that you're explaining everything.
Why do they need to know?
- Strong Woman Do Bong-soon became a hit.
In fact, promoting on this show is no joke.
We'll start going, but there's a rule instead.
If the viewers think that you came on the show to promote,
they won't think of it as sincere.
If you succeed, we'll give you 1 minute to promote your music.
- Wow~.
- For 1 minute, okay?
Okay.
- It's been a long time since I've heard him say "sincerity."
- There's isn't.
There isn't sincerity.
What sincerity?
- Look at this reaction, Kyung-kyu.
- No, this is real.
This is a real reaction.
- But really,
I haven't heard the word "sincerity" in 6 years.
But I have no idea what sincerity is.
- It's this.
This is insincerity.
- My heart is really...
Ma'am, hello.
- Nice to meet you.
- Like that, like that.
That's what insincerity is.
- (Narration) Today, Hye-ri and Minah
will be sincerely reflecting on what sincerity is.
- I have sincerity. This is sincerity.
Communicating with your heart. Communication.
- Wow.
- I saw this show, and it's just as I saw.
It really is like this.
- I know.
- Wow, this is my first time at Ssang-mun station.
- This is my first time too.
- Really?
- Yes.
- When your concept was Ssang-mun area?
- Yes, this is my first time here.
- Didn't you film in Ssang-mun area?
- The story was based in Ssang-mun area, but they recreated it on set.
- I didn't know that.
- I did come to Ssang-mun area once.
We promised a signing event.
For a signing event...
- Hello.
- Our Deok-sun.
- This is Ssang-mun Pharmacy,
and I think this is where Taek bought me medicine.
- Ho-dong, how did you come all the way here to Ssang-mun station?
- I came here with our Deok-sun.
- Oh my, I see.
Thank you.
Deok-sun finally visits Ssang-mun Pharmacy.
- Hello.
- Ma'am, hello.
- Yes, hello.
- Deok-sun has come to Ssang-mun Pharmacy.
- That's right.
We've been here for 30 years.
- Really 30 years ago?
- Yes, 30 years ago.
May of 1986.
- Wow.
- Then you watched the show without knowing.
- Yes, and our pharmacy came out.
- Ssang-mun Pharmacy came out.
- I was surprised.
- It must have been so cool and fun to watch the show.
- Even our packaging was the same from back then.
I think the screenwriter knew our pharmacy.
- Have a good day.
- Thank you.
- Goodbye.
Thank you.
- Best of luck to Ssang-mun Pharmacy.
Ssang-mun area is a very lively neighborhood.
- Look at this alley here.
This is no joke.
- When we were young, the alleys were
the best playground in our lives.
- That's right.
- We played hopscotch.
How do you know that?
- Because I used to play hopscotch too.
- In the alley?
- (Narration) To 48-year-old Ho-dong and 25-year-old Minah,
the alley of Ssang-mun area brings back memories.
- Huh?
This is where Bong-hwang-dang from the drama was based on.
- Wow, really.
- The jewelry shop.
- This? - Yes.
- The alley of Bong-hwang-dang within Ssang-mun area.
I was born and raised in this alley.
At a time where there was no internet nor smart phones.
- That Park Bo-gum.
- Park Bo-gum's father.
- Yes, that's right.
Wow~.
- You must feel really weird right now.
Wow.
- This is cool.
That means this place has been here for 30 years.
- Since we are at an outdoor set, this is so cool.
- Really?
If this is cool, you should've visited here earlier.
- You're right...
- Huh?
Do it with some sincerity.
- This is so cool and amazing.
- What's amazing?
- It's like we're in the drama series.
Who?
- With Deok-sun.
What kind of a big honor is this?
- Then why didn't you visit earlier?
When the drama was airing.
- Lee Kyung-kyu...
- Leave him alone to meditate on his own.
- He's like a father, so my heart reaches out to him.
- When was your father born?
- In 1962.
- What?
- 1962.
- He's older than your dad.
- Yes, but their styles are similar.
And personalities.
- It's bad?
- My dad is like you.
- Caring.
- Yes, and sort of lively like this.
- Likes people.
- He's like that.
- Curious about other people's stories.
- Ho-dong is the typical type who speaks by himself.
- Kyung-kyu.
- I'm a really good listener.
Even now, I'm not talking much.
- You're very similar to my father.
- I keep listening.
- You listen well to others talking?
- Of course.
Hey, on Healing Camp, there were times where
I didn't speak a word for 5 hours.
- You weren't sleeping...
- No.
Because it was boring.
- Because it was boring.
- (Narration) With father-like Kyu-dong accompanied by Hye-ri
and Minah, laughter blooms everywhere.
- Kyung-kyu, in the history of this show,
today is the best weather.
- (Narration) After a cold winter, spring flowers are blooming on Let's Eat Dinner Together.
- I think today's the best weather.
- It's because you're here with us.
- The weather...
- Wow, Kyung-kyu.
These are apricot flowers.
- The flowers bloomed, right?
- Look at this.
They survived the winter. How scared would they have been during the night?
How cold would they have been when it rained and the wind blew?
They survived the winter and sprouted and bloomed.
The fruits that bloom...
- It feels strange now that it's blooming.
- Look at this.
This kind of house willingly opens their doors.
- Those are all real crocks.
- This house is a good cook at the least.
So even if they open the doors, they are confident to serve a meal.
What's also important is for celebrities is confidence.
- That's right.
- You became more confident after being on Reply 1988.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
We need to target that kind of house.
- Wow, this place...
- It's a villa.
- Right, we need to see this as a multiplex housing.
- Aren't the blue roofs single houses?
The blue roofs.
- At fishing villages, there are many slate roofs in front of the ocean.
They're all in that blue color.
- That's right.
- Do you know why?
- Why?
- After painting their boats...
- With the leftovers?
- They paint with the leftovers.
If you look into it, they all have stories.
- That's nice.
- Use this next time.
- That's really nice.
- These houses here...
- Wow, there are many houses here.
- There are many houses here.
- This kind of house.
- Hye-ri, this front gate.
Doesn't it carry old sentiments?
- It does.
- Wow, this front gate is so pretty.
- Ho-dong, did they paint this with leftover paint too?
- That's right.
- Minah, you're really sharp.
- Ho-dong's surprised.
- He's very surprised.
- Topographically speaking, this house in Ssang-mun area...
This is a signature house of this neighborhood.
- His sincerity...
- What a posh expression.
- Hey, is this also painted with the leftover paint from the sea boats?
This is from the ceiling, the rooftop.
They painted the gate with the paint leftover from the rooftop.
- Then we should see the color of the rooftop.
- Minah, Minah.
- I think they chose this color with care.
- No, they paint it with the leftovers.
- Minah.
- Ho-dong, the rooftop here is black.
- (Narration) Thanks to a sharp and clever guest,
Ho-dong's sincerity is questioned from the start.
- Look a the tree.
- Why are you suddenly looking at a tree?
- Houses with trees are very warm-hearted.
- Right.
- They care for those trees.
- My favorite saying is, if you treat someone like you care for a tree,
how warm-hearted would that person be?
Wow, Kyung-kyu.
- Hey, when you were talking away,
you didn't see Hye-ri's face, did you?
I clearly saw her face.
- Her eyes were like...
- Like caring for a tree...
- She was totally out of it.
She was totally out of it from that moment.
- Those crocks are breathing right now, Minah.
You wouldn't know. Come here, Minah.
These crocks are breathing. They gave it space, like a beehive.
- (Narration) Like the crocks, the guests need space to breathe.
- Wow, this place is...
- Ho-dong, trees.
- Wow, the phytoncides.
Birds like phytoncides the best.
- Phytoncides.
- Look at this.
- Cool.
- The trees are talking.
Hello, welcome.
- Do you plant trees on Arbor Day?
- I haven't.
Who is it?
Who asked?
- Me.
- That was a sharp question.
All this time, he's been saying he loves trees,
and he's never planted one before.
And then he talks about phytoncides.
- Wow.
- There are flowers here.
Don't you like flowers?
- Wow~.
Wow!
- Good smell.
Smell them.
- I smell nothing.
They're fake flowers.
- They're artificial flowers.
- Really?
- They're fake, and he smelled them.
- This is what you call a master.
- Ho-dong, you...
- An open heart that can see artificial flowers as if they're real.
- That's not what sincerity is.
That's fake.
Fake is fake, and real is real.
- That's right.
- You need a heart that can see something fake as something real.
- I don't think that's right.
- It's not.
You guys are fighting back.
How philosophical.
- Hye-ri, look. That rainbow.
Double rainbow.
- How pretty. There's a double rainbow since we're in Ssang-mun area.
- Soulless, soulless.
Right, Ho-dong?
- This is what an artist is.
- He's being the worst today.
- Especially today...
- The worst.
- He's so different from the person I've seen for the past 7 years.
- (Narration) Maybe because it is spring, his symptoms are even worse.
- How pretty.
- They drew this as a work of art for a mural.
- Right.
This is a mural.
- As the spring wind blows.
- Cherry Blossom Ending.
- As the spring wind blows~.
- That's it.
- The scattering cherry blossom petals spread out on this street as we walk together.
- No, you need to sing this with a lilting voice, Ho-dong.
- How?
For example, start.
- As the spring wind blows, the scattering cherry blossom petals spread out on this street.
- Finish it off.
- As we walk together.
- (Narration) A stationery store from our childhood at the corner of Ssang-mun area's alley.
And.
- Are you crying?
Why are you crying?
- Hye-ri, hello.
- Why are you crying?
Hi.
Why are you crying?
Don't cry.
- Hye-ri, you're so pretty.
- Please take a picture with me.
- (Narration) The daughters living in Ssang-mun area
are ardently greeting Ssang-mun area's daughter, Deok-sun.

- Wow, this is amazing.
- This is an old stationery store, right?
- This brings back so many memories.
Junk food.
Kyung-kyu, then I want beer candy.
- Me too.
- No, we can't spend money.
- We can't spend money.
- How much is this?
- It's only 20 cents.
- It's a promise.
- It's only 20 cents.
This one's too expensive. It's 50 cents.

- How much is this?
- 20 cents.
- 20 cents, 40 cents.
- Hey, this is on me.
- Thank you.
- Ho-dong, aren't you having one?
Wow, they even have this area.
- These seats are nice.
- Look over there.
- What?
- This is the first time we've spent money on our guests.
We spent an overwhelming 40 cents.
- We'll succeed with a sense of mission.
- You need to succeed.
- Did you eat a lot of these?
How much were these back then?
- 0.5 cents.
- 0.5 cents?
- 0.5 cents.
- Really...
- 0.5 cents.
- Did you go through the Korean War?
- What?
I didn't go through the Korean War.
- Kyung-kyu.
The period of poverty and such.
More than my father.
- Wow, this alley is very...
- It's heartwarming, right?
Wow, this wall.
- How heartwarming.
- (Narration) The heartwarming alley even awakens Kyung-kyu's sentiments.
- This is a really old alley.
- It's an old alley.
Ho-dong, look how they hung the laundry.
- Look at those baby clothes, Kyung-kyu.
- When we were young, we hung all our clothes to dry like this, right?
In the sunlight.
- I'll take a picture.
1, 2, 3.
Wow.
1, 2, 3.
Take a look.
I took this in black and white, so it's more...
- You took it in black and white.
That's cool.
- This picture with the staff is so nice.
- It's nice in black and white.
- Yes, I think black and white fits this place.

who he thought were merely young.

- It's so pretty.
- It's the type of gate I like.
Wooden gate.
- The wooden gate is so pretty.
He sat over there.
- Don't.
Hey, don't take a picture.
- Ho-dong, your legs.
- (Narration) The Ssang-mun area captured today through Minah's pictures
will become memories and be engraved in their hearts.
- Listen for now.
How many times did you fail in total?
- We failed twice.
- We failed 2 weeks ago.
- Who came out?
- The Ah-choo couple from Laurel Tree Tailors.
Hyun-woo...
- Are you blaming him?
- So...
- We need to split into teams.
- How do you split into teams?
- Minah and Hye-ri...
- I'm the year of the dog.
- Dog?
You?
- Rooster.
- Are you a dog?
- Yes.
- I'm a dog.
- Really?
- Hey, we're twin dogs.
We're the twin dogs of Ssang-mun area.
- Hye-ri, what do you think?
- If I fail, wouldn't he say that
he failed because of me?
- Of course it's because of you.
- They probably saw you too.
The owners probably saw you too. - They did.
- Too much...
No. Maybe they don't open the doors because he might eat too much.
That was it.
Ho-dong, you look teary.

She was so excited that she was shaking.
- This would get you excited.

- If it's slightly cluttered, don't close up.
- My son is at the 4.19 Tower, and he's on his way now.
- How old is your son?
25.
- He's my age.
- Senior in college.
- Senior?
- Really.
- Chung-Ang University.
- He goes to Chung-Ang.
- Acting major? - No.
- Majoring in stage design.
Stage design.
- Stage design.
- You're shaking so much, ma'am.
- Ma'am, don't be nervous.
- We'll put on a mic.
I'm too nervous.
- It's alright.
She's excited right now.
- Really, we...
- I mean, we talked about what we would do if you ever visited.
- And.
- My older son said it was alright.
My husband asked me if I'd let you in.
- He asked, and what did you answer?
Did you say you would?
Yes.
But now that we're actually here.
I'm a bit flustered.
- Because I was so surprised.
Because we fixed our water leakage today,
so our house is still a mess.
- But we come without calling in advance,
so that's a big relief.
If you knew, you would've run away.
- If I'd known, then I would've cleaned up faster.
- Alright, ma'am. Go ahead and cook.
We'll help you if there's anything we can do.
- Just go to the sofa.
- Go to the sofa.
- Please sit somewhere.
- Should we?
On this sofa?
- I think she feels uncomfortable.
- Because she's feeling uncomfortable.
- (Narration) The mother needs to put together her mind and her house.
- This is cluttered.
My husband must be home.
I'll go.
- Your son's home.
- It's the son.
- Is it my son? - I think so.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Lee Kyung-kyu, nice to meet you.
This is Minah of Girl's Day.
He's good-looking.
- I know. Very tall.
- Come in. This is our house.
I heard you talked about this a few days ago.
If Let's Eat Dinner Together came to your house.
- We did, but we didn't know you'd really come, so I was shocked.
I was on a date with my girlfriend when my mom called.
- So you left your girlfriend to come here?
- I sent her off to do her homework.
- What?
- He sent her off to do homework.
- You told her to do her homework?
- Yes.
- Your mother is preparing dinner.
Go and calm your mother down.
She's really...
- Right now, she's...
- She's all tense.
Ma'am, your son's home.
- Yoon-suh, no, no. Don't come to me.
Yoon-suh, do you mind taking them to the living room and talk?
- Do you mind?
- (Narration) The mother still needs time to put together
her mind and her house.
- Yoon-sun, we need to bring out the table.
- I'll help...
- What?
- No, no.
This is the storage room.
- Don't film, don't film.
Don't bring the camera in.
She's getting flustered.
- Ma'am, I'll help with something.
We'll get kicked out at this rate.
- Don't bring in the camera when she hasn't given you permission.
They're bringing in the cameras out of habit.
Do you have an assistant?
- No.
- She freaked out.
- Ma'am, right now...
He's home.
- The father.
- Sir, hello?
Nice to meet you.
I'm Lee Kyung-kyu.
Nice to meet you.
Come in.
How good-looking.
- I'm not.
- This is Minah from an idol girl group.
- Hello, I'm Minah from Girl's Day.
- Your wife was very startled.
- Yes, she screamed over the phone
as if something happened at home,
so I thought someone had broken in.
- She screamed in the garden.
- I drank with you once a long time ago.
- Really?
- With me?
- In the early 1980s, at Hippo Drum or Touch Nine in Itaewon?
We sat together at a table there.
- This is amazing. - And we had a drink.
- That's from a long time ago.
- Yes, so at that time, we drank together
for about 1.5 or 2 hours or so.
- Ah, yes.
I remember.
That was when I was in my early 20s.
- You were really popular at that time,
so you came and showed off a lot of your tricks.
While drinking.
- That's amazing.
- I did that?
Whew, I'm sweating.
- At that time, I drank a lot too.
At that time...
- A few decades after meeting at a night club,
I'm visiting your house.
We're sorry for suddenly visiting.
- Not at all.
- Sit down, sir.
Excuse me, but why did I...
- You were sitting at a table across from me.
But at that time, you were by yourself or something.
- By myself?
- You were on a lot of ads, so I asked if you'd like to have a drink together,
and you said sure, and we joined tables.
- Really?
- And we drank.
You seemed a bit drunk. - Was I?
It's been a long time, but long ago, when I became drunk,
I think I imitated Hulk a lot.
- It was Rambo back then.
Rambo back then.
When you'd do this.
You said we had to drink.
We had to drink with each gun shot.
- Really?
- So we'd drink, and you would do your trick.
Back then.
- You must have drunk a lot.
- But I think there were only 2 tricks you could do.
- Have you lived here for a long time?
- I came here when I was 10,
and I'm now in my mid-50s, so it's been 45 years.
- 45 years in this house only. Wow.
- Because I can't always watch it or do anything...
- Wow, I saw that clock at my grandpa's house a long time ago when I was little.
- That's a very old clock.
That's 45 years old too.
- 45 years old?
It's 20 years older than me.
- You have to wind it.
Wait, where do you wind this?
- This is a really old clock. - It's inside here.
- This is so cool.
This is so cool.
- Like this...
- Does this ring every hour?
- It rings every hour.
But because this is an old clock,
sometimes it rings 4 times when it's 5 o'clock.
But anyway, it does ring.
- It lost some vitality.
Its vitality lessened.
- I need to oil it, but I haven't been able to do it.
As long as the spring doesn't break, it can work up to 200 years.
- Oh my God...
- If you wind this.
- After that, the next thing is the piano.
That piano is about 35 years old.
- Sir, does this work in the summer?
- Yes, it does.
Ceiling fans.
- I haven't seen that in a long time since I was little.
- Nowadays, the air conditioner is built in the ceiling.
It's my first time seeing a ceiling fan like this.
- These are traces of when we used to live with my parents,
so we tried to keep them instead of changing them.
So that's why...
- (Narration) The house is full of items touched by his parents.
As if time has stopped, this is like a house of Ssang-mun area in 1988.
- I'll go and help a little.
- Your wife likes to clean, right?
- No, she doesn't at all. She doesn't really clean up.
- She doesn't?
But before, she kept talking about cleaning up.
- Because she doesn't, she has to clean up.
She doesn't, so she has to now clean up.
- From the entrance, she said she had to clean up.
- Of course.
- Are you making fun of me?
- No, no.
So...
- I've caught you guys.
Minah, go and sit.
This is an old house, so if you don't brighten it, it'll look dirty...
The brightening effect is really important.
You need to remember.
- Please edit well.
Luxuriously.
- She knows about editing. Wow.
They'll make it pretty, ma'am.
For every shot that you come out,
the director will put in brightening effects.
- I just woke up, so...
- Isn't today the day you get a facial?
The lady?
Tomorrow.
- It's tomorrow.
- Are you going out for a facial tomorrow?
- No, someone comes to my house to give my friends and me a facial.
We have a luncheon together in the morning.
- This reminds me of Reply 1988.
In the drama, there's a scene where the mothers
receive facials together. - Yes.
This is seasoned spring wild chives.
- Why do I feel like I'm visiting a friend's house?
- She's your age, Yoon-suh.
- Maybe it's because we're the same age.
- When I was in the army, I liked Girl's Day.
- Really?
Who did you like the best?
- He liked Minah the best.
- I came to the right place.
But ma'am...
- Yes.
- You seemed sad to see Hye-ri leave.
- Yes, I like Hye-ri.
She's pretty.
- Ma'am, how about me?
- I like you too.
- Really?
- I saw your drama series too.
- What a relief.
- I like Hye-ri so much because of Reply 1988.
- You really liked the drama.
- I'm a drama fan.
- Ma'am, I'll be doing this.
This is...
- Soy bean paste stew.
- The side dishes are very...
- I made these.
- You made them yourself?
- Wow, you're amazing.
I've never seen an angelica root.
- We usually have 10 side dishes.
- What?
- We usually have 10 side dishes.
- (Narration) This is a sight of 10 side dishes that smells like spring getting prepared.
Minah is fascinated with this first experience.
- Isn't this fascinating?
- Yes.
- It seems like the side dishes are almost done?
- I know, I can't bear the smell anymore.
- Is this how you usually eat, or...
- That's almost the same with how we usually eat
but the plates are different.
- Ah!
- When we usually eat at home,
we just eat out of the Tupperware.
- Sir, sir!
- She doesn't like this sort of thing.
- Now, she is serving food on pretty plates.
- That's not it. We usually eat like this and sometimes do that in the morning.
- That's right.
- She doesn't like getting exposed.
- (Narration) The son does the finishing touch of today's dinner table.
With stir-fried pork, the usual dinner
is fully served on special plates.
- We need to take a picture.
- Wow!
- (Narration) This meal is that of an old house in Ssang-mun area
with 10 side plates of freshly seasoned young greens and stir-fried pork
that looks and tastes good and smells of spring.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.
- A warm dinner...
- Wow, really.
- Please enjoy the food even if it's not good.
It's so good.
- Because it's spring, these are all seasoned young greens.
- This is ecklonia cava.
- Ecklonia cava?
- It's a type of seaweed.
The ones with holes in them.
- It sprouts only during this time of spring.
- There are many vegetables.
- She seasoned all the vegetables herself.
- I'm an expert at young greens.
- The young greens, the vegetables are no joke.
- The pickled angelica roots are a bit bitter, so eat in little bites.
- Is it good?
- Yes, it has a nice fragrance.
- (Narration) The two are enjoying the taste of spring.
In their mouths and their hearts, spring has come.
- This is good.
- You're a great cook.
- Really.
- Yes, yes.
- It's really hard to season these vegetables deliciously.
- (Narration) While Kyung-kyu and Minah are enjoying the young greens,
The twin dogs of Ssang-mun area are still facing the cold spring wind.
- Here, here.
Signature, signature.
Wow, this is a rare tree.
Hye-ri, look at this.
- Wow.
- What is this?
- It sort of looks like ginseng.
I'm nervous.
- Don't be.
Signature.
- Who is it?
- Hello, I am Hye-ri.
Do you know me?
- I don't really know.
- Oh.
- Explain.
- Did you see Reply 1988?
- I did.
- I'm Deok-sun from there.
- But wait.
- Yes, do you know Deok-sun? Deok-sun?
She's here.
- She came out.
Ma'am, hello.
I didn't eat, so if you didn't have dinner...
- We just ate and washed the dishes.
You washed the dishes?
- You should've come earlier.
- Oh my.
Sir, you're home too.
- Sir, it's not 6:30 yet, and you've already eaten dinner?
- We did.
- Sir, what did you eat?
Soybean stew.
- That sounds good.
- Spring leaves.
- Spring leaves and turnip kimchi.
- Turnip kimchi.
That sounds so good.
- What a shame.
Ma'am, then we'll be on our way.
We don't have time.
- Ma'am, thank you. Thank you.
Ho-dong, our time...
I feel rushed.
- This is a signature too.
- Signature.
- This is it.
The 1st and 2nd floors are separate.
- Shall we try the 1st floor?
Can I eat what I want at the convenience store?
I should have some cup ramen today.
- (Narration) Deok-sun has come to Ssang-mun area. When will they reply?
- It's still alright.
- What time is it?
- 6:37.
If we go past 7, it's dangerous.
- What should we do...
- Hye-ri.
- Yes.
The lights are on.
- The lights are on.
Calmly say, I am Hye-ri.
Next, say you've come to capture the dinner scene in Ssang-mun area.
- Who is it?
- Ma'am, hello.
I'm Hye-ri from Girl's Day. Do you know me?
- What?
- I'm Hye-ri from Girl's Day.
Did you see Reply 1988?
- I don't know.
- Sing, sing. A Girl's Day song.
1, 2, 3, 4.
- Darling, darling, melt me~.
Melt me...
Ma'am...
- How embarrassing.
How embarrassing.
This is a legend.
This is a legend, Hye-ri.
You need to do it full on. She hung up because you did it half-heartedly.
Ring the bell again and say sorry and explain,
because she could mistake you as a crazy person.
She might not know this show either.
So let's clear any misunderstanding.
- Yes.
- Ma'am.
- Ma'am, did you eat...
- Oh my, ma'am.
- Ma'am.
- Ma'am, Hye-ri wants to say hello.
- Yes, ma'am.
- I'm doing something with my hands right now.
- I see.
- Ma'am, did we bother you when you were busy?
- We're sorry, ma'am.
Hello.
- Ma'am, this is Deok-sun.
- I'm Deok-sun.
- She acted well in Reply 1988.
Ma'am, why did you hang up when she was singing?
She sang.
I had the stove on, and I felt uneasy so I went in the kitchen.
- Deok-sun will sing for you one more time.
- Darling, darling...
- Ma'am, then we'll be on our way.
- Thank you, ma'am.
Enjoy your dinner...
- Ma'am, give me a high-five.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, thank you.
- Ma'am, you still don't know who she is, right?
- No, I don't.
- I know, you don't.
- Try harder.
- Yes, thank you, ma'am. - Ma'am, we'll go.
Ma'am, be healthy.
- Thank you.
- At least you made a legend.
- That's good, then.
- Yeah, we've succeeded halfway just with this.
- (Narration) That's right. Just because they live in Ssang-mun area
doesn't mean they all know Hye-ri and Deok-sun.
- Okay, signature.
- This is driving me crazy.
- Deok-sun can't fail at Ssang-mun area.
Press it.
It doesn't make a sound.
Hye-ri, I have a bad feeling about today.
- I know.
- The doorbells are all broken.
All day...
- I'm so hungry.
My confidence is so low that I can't press it.
The sun is setting now.
- (Narration) Hye-ri's confidence is dropping, as well as the sun in Ssang-mun area.
- But there aren't a lot of lit houses.
They must have all gone out on walks.
- The lights are all off.
The lights are all turned off here.
It's more confusing now that it's dark.
- Dinner...
- The lights are on here.
This, this.
What is this.
- Who is it?
- Ma'am, hello.
I'm Hye-ri from Girl's Day.
- Yes?
- I'm Hye-ri from the girl group Girl's Day.
Do you know me?
- Yes.
- Ma'am, did you have dinner?
- I don't think she's a ma'am.
She sounds like a student.
- We didn't have dinner, but this is not
an ordinary house but a share house.
I see.
We don't mind if it's a share house, but if you didn't have dinner yet,
could we eat together?
- No, there's no one home, so I think it'll be difficult.
- I see, thank you.
- Yes.
- There are share houses here too.
- What is that?
- It's not an ordinary house. Friends or strangers live together.
The rent is expensive these days,
so I think they split the rent and live together.
- If it's like this, our gap with Minah will get bigger.
- What do we do if we can't eat?
It's not important if the gap gets bigger.
I'm more worried we won't be able to eat.
- (Narration) If Hye-ri fails in Ssang-mun area, this is Ho-dong's curse.
- I want to go to my home now.
If I go home, my mom would give me food.
- To Jamsil?
- Yes.
- There are more broken doorbells than I thought.
Good, good.
- Ma'am, hello.
Ma'am, hello.
Oh my God.
- Woah.
- That startled me.
Ma'am.
- Why is this so loud?
- Ma'am, did you open the door for us?
Ma'am, hello.
Do you know me?
- I don't know young people.
- Oh my.
Didn't you see the drama series Reply 1988?
- No.
- Oh, you didn't.
- I did.
- I'm Deok-sun, ma'am.
- Yes, hello.
- Ma'am, Did you...
- Hello.
I'm Ho-dong.
- Ma'am, don't you know our Deok-sun?
- I didn't see, so I don't know.
- The drama series?
- She's a famous idol.
- Ma'am, did you have dinner?
Not yet.
- Ma'am, please listen to us carefully.
We are...
- No, I saw that.
- Yes?
- You do this and have dinner. I saw that.
Yes.
- We eat and talk together.
- I prepared dinner right now.
- It's a show where we talk about things.
- I made kimchi stew.
- Oh my, kimchi stew.
- Then, can we...
- I seasoned aster.
- You seasoned aster.
- I fried lotus roots.
- You fried lotus roots.
So.
- Lotus roots, lotus roots.
- You made kimchi stew.
This time, we're exploring Ssang-mun area.
- But our house is messy because it's old.
- Ma'am, even if it's an old house and it's messy,
that's what life is about.
- Of course.
- Ma'am, can Hye-ri and I go in your house,
and will you have dinner with us?
- (Narration) Will Ssang-mun area finally reply to these two?
- Go ahead.
- Ma'am, thank you.
- We'll go in.
- Thank you, ma'am.
- Our house is messy.
- I love it, ma'am.
- Ma'am, please introduce your garden.
This tree guarded this house.
- Sweet persimmon tree.
- If a persimmon tree is like this, this is at least 30 years old.
- You're right.
- Wow.
- Ma'am, how long have you lived here?
- We moved here in 1989, so it's been 28 years.
We brought this tree from our previous house and brought it here.
- I see.
- It was small then.
- Our house is messy...
- (Narration) Finally, the daughter of Ssang-mun area
enters into a dinner scene.
The house has a briquette stove that will warm even the hearts.
- Wow.
- Hello.
- Is he your grandson?
- Yes.
- Son, how old are you?
He's nine.
- Are you 9?
You're the same age as my son.
Please shake my hand.
- I was going to cook meat for him.
- What's his name?
- Yi-heon, come shake hands with me.
Please shake my hand.
Shake hands with Hye-ri too.
- He's embarrassed.
- Be in the picture. Then you can go boast at school.
- Yi-heon.
Yi-heon, do you know me?
- Ma'am.
- Do you know me?
How do you know me?
I saw you in the drama.
- Ma'am, do everything comfortably.
My son is 9 too.
Are you in the 2nd grade?
Look.
- Yi-heon, come here. - Sit down here.
- Yi-heon.
- He's feeling shy.
- How pretty.
- Hey.
This guy has great athletic skills.
He looks athletic.
- So cute.
- Who do you live with here?
- My husband and I live here, but my daughter-in-law
moved in next door to ask us to take care of their children.
- Because she's working.
- Yes.
My daughter-in-law works at MBC.
- Wow.
- We're from JTBC.
- I know you're JTBC, but she works at MBC.
My older grandson went to taekwondo class.
- What's his name?
- Seung-heon.
- Seung-heon?
- Shin Seung-heon.
- Seung-eon.
- Seung-heon.
- Shin Seung-eon?
- Shin Seung-heon, Shin Yi-heon.
- Ma'am, you even fried lotus roots.
- This is...
- You said you seasoned these vegetables too.
This looks good.
- That looks good.
- What is this?
- I'll give you some side dishes.
Squid.
- That looks good.
- Is this seasoned ester?
What is this?
- No, that's lettuce.
Korean lettuce.
- Korean lettuce is perfect with rice.
- I'm from Gu-ri of Jeollanam-do province.
- Oh my.
- So I season according to that province.
- You don't know Korean lettuce, do you?
I don't.
- When you eat this, there's a slightly bitter taste
but it makes you eat more, Deok-sun.
- With rice.
- It ripened very nicely.
This is really good.
- (Narration) It feels like it'll be an amazing meal today.
- This is proper.
This ripened properly.
- Take some when you go.
- Ma'am, what is this?
- Wow, that's some serious kimchi stew.
This kimchi stew is perfect.
- 1, 2, 3.
- Ta-da!
- I made soup out of kelp and anchovies.
- Look at this.
Where were you?
You startled me.
- I should make more rice.
- Ma'am, the staff won't eat.
Only Deok-sun and I'll eat.
- Still, they should eat too.
- No, no.
- Should I cook them chicken stew?
- No, no.
- So they can all eat.
No, no.
- They can't eat.
Why not?
- Ma'am, you're generous.
But we'll just accept your heart.
- How can they just go?
- Ma'am, you're so generous.
Ma'am, where's your husband?
- He went out.
- Do you and your husband eat separately?
- My mother-in-law used to be here.
- At home now...
- She passed away 2 years ago, and we didn't have time to eat together
since I had to serve my mother-in-law.
I didn't know I'd have such luck.
- Ma'am, it's luck for Hye-ri and me, not you.
- That's right.
Ma'am, I'll carry this over.
- Place it here.
I'll carry it.
If we place this in the center and take a picture, it'll be pretty.
Right.
So pretty.
Ma'am, should I put some garlic here?
- Yes, yes.
- I should put them in here.
These are garlic.
- Should I give some sweet rice drink?
- It'll be nice to have that for dessert.
- I mean, the staff should have some.
- Ma'am, because the staff is filming right now,
they won't drink even if you gave them some.
Ma'am, don't worry about them.
- They won't have it?
I was going to take out some seasoned dried radishes, and I got sidetracked
so I don't know where they are.
- Ma'am, we have enough side dishes.
Ma'am, this is enough.
- (Narration) The dinner table overflows like the grandmother's generosity.
- Ma'am.
Where should I put this?
- You can put it here.
- In the middle?
- Yes.
- (Narration) This meal in Ssang-mun area is that of
a grandmother from Jeolla province who prepared
an amazing dinner full of love for her grandson.
- One Meal Theater, ready, action.
- Yi-heon, you like kimchi stew, right?
Do you want to have kimchi stew with rice?
You like kimchi, burdock, and lotus roots too.
Right?
Do you want some kimchi or just the soup?
- Just the soup?
This young greens only come from Ulleungdo Island.
So try this. I didn't make it spicy.
Go ahead.
Leave that and eat first.
Eat slowly.
I'm going to put rice in my stew like you.
Are you hungry?
Because you didn't have a snack?
- I ate an apple and ice cream.
- You ate an apple and ice cream?
It tastes a little less delicious than usual.
Is it okay?
Is it good?
Eat slowly.
Very nice.
Ma'am, is Yi-heon usually silent?
- No, it's because he's feeling shy right now.
- Oh, Yi-heon.
- Ma'am, thank you for the food.
I really wanted to try these fried lotus roots.
- These, these.
I'm sorry.
- It's crunchy.
- You need to put in this fat for the kimchi stew to be good.
And this skin.
Look at this fat.
This is the good part.
- This is kimchi stew.
- (Narration) After a round of tasting, shall we dig in?
Having met a proper home food in Ssang-mun area, Deok-sun eats away.
- Wow, really.
- (Narration) Ssang-mun area must have replied late
so that they can have this kimchi stew.
- Ma'am, can you give me more stew?
Please give me a lot of soup too.
- You eat well.
It's good to see someone eat so well.
- (Narration) Ho-dong already has good appetite,
but the Korean lettuce kimchi raises his appetite even more.
The tasty food of a grandmother in Ssang-mun area fills their mouths.
- When you chew on this, it's slightly bitter.
- Ma'am, this is so good.
- Ma'am, this...
- But on TV, when they don't even chew
and go yum~, it seems fake.
- Even before tasting?
- They go yum~.
- Here, we go yum~ and then eat.
But ma'am, this is really good.
Really?
- It's not for show.
Thank you.
Eat this too. This is young greens.
- Did you season them all yourself?
- Of course.
We make them.
Do you buy them?
- My mom always buys them.
My mom always buys them.
- Yi-heon, out of all the food Grandma makes, which is the best?
- Kimchi stew?
Same with me.
- You know true taste.
- He eats everything well.
- Si-hoo like this kind of food too.
Yi-heon, what's its name?
- What's your favorite toy, Yi-heon?
You like this the best?
What is this?
Is it a belt?
It's a belt? Wow.
- Is it making a sound right now?
- Wow.
Wow!
What school do you go to?
- You say it, Grandma.
Yi-heon.
- You should bravely say it.
Bravely say what school and what grade.
- 2nd grade in elementary school...
- 2nd grade?
Which class?
- Class 5?
- Yi-heon, be honest.
Do you like studying or games?
- You like games, right?
Right?
It's okay, Yi-heon.
- Yi-heon, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?
- I do.
- You do?
- Do you have a girlfriend or not?
- Say it clearly.
- You say it.
- 3rd grade, class 3?
- Bora?
Should I talk about Bora?
- Ha-yoon, not Bora.
- Ha-yoon.
Ha-yoon.
Is Ha-yoon pretty, or am I pretty?
- Who's prettier?
- Yeah?
- She's prettier, right?
Is Ha-yoon prettier, or is Hye-ri prettier?
- He says, '...'
You two are the same.
- No comment.
Because Ha-yoon is watching.
- I've eaten a lot of kimchi stews from a lot of places,
but you need to add pork like this for it to be delicious.
- I didn't put any seasoning or condiments in any of my food.
- Then how does this taste like this?
- I season with ingredients.
Because of my grandsons, I can't cook carelessly.
- (Narration) A grandmother's love for her grandsons created a healthy dinner table.
Taste as well as health.
The twin dogs have hit the jackpot today.
- Kids usually don't eat kimchi well.
Not only kimchi, but even kimchi stew, because it's spicy.
But Yi-heon.
- I should've placed some kimchi.
Should I bring some out?
- This is already enough.
- The kimchi that I made with the cabbages that I grew is pretty good.
- Then we'll taste it.
- Should I give you some?
The kimchi too.
- The kimchi is good.
- I should save my rice.
Eat some more.
Why are you taking everything?
Take everything.
I have some.
There's more rice.
- I should also give you some red pepper paste I made a couple of days ago.
- (Narration) Seeing that they enjoyed the food, she wants to give more.
Love overflows in this one meal.
- This is red pepper paste made with wheat from the country side.
I made this a couple of days ago. Try some.
- Wow, the color.
- Wow~.
- You could just have this with rice.
- (Narration) It's time to taste kimchi, the highlight of today.
- Wow, Hye-ri.
- Yes.
- If you have this with ramen, this is just...
- Wow~.
The fragrance.
- I'll pack you some red pepper paste. Have it at home.
- This is...
- If you make kimchi stew with this, it'll be so good...
- Are you telling me to take this home?
No, no.
We can't have this.
We'll get it trouble.
We can't, right?
Ma'am, we'll put this here for now.
We'll ask the director first.
Wow, this kimchi...
- I should've made some soy bean past stew for you.
- This scores 1000 out of 100.
- Really?
- Ma'am, you could sell these.
- I made this with the salted seafood I made myself.
I didn't buy anything.
- (Narration) Hye-ri begins eating again with Grandma's kimchi,
which would've been upsetting if she hadn't served it.
- And raw shrimp.
Is it really good?
- It's really good. I'm not joking.
If it's not good, we'll say so.
- Should I give you more rice?
- She ate two bowls.
- I'll give you more.
- I'm...
I ate all this.
- You can say that this is all made with natural seasoning.
- Where are you going?
Isn't it quite spicy?
- Yeah.
But this kimchi, really...
- Ma'am, how did you...
- I think you'll like this kimchi.
Cut in half, right?
You like that.
- I shouldn't eat so much rice like this. Today's a fail again.
- I wish I could eat like this everyday.
I always eat out or order delivery food.
I eat a lot like that.
- But those places put in a lot of artificial seasoning, so it tastes heavy.
- Yi-heon, Yi-heon.
You're so lucky.
You eat this kimchi for free everyday.
You're not here for just a meal.
- Thanks, Yi-heon.
- Oh my.
How nice of you.
- Rugged kindness.
- How nice.
- How about uncle's?
- For Seung-heon.
- It's for Seung-heon?
The last one is for Seung-heon.
- Then how about yours?
You're going to eat yours?
- Give uncle Seung-heon's.
- It's alright.
- Thank you.
I'll enjoy it.
- I've never felt sorry for the staff before.
This is the last bite.
We ate it all.
You all should try this.
But there's no way I can give you some.
You should taste this.
Ma'am, this...
- Have some more.
- (Narration) The twin dogs have finished two bowls of rice in Ssang-mun area.
Meanwhile, Kyung-kyu is talking about their fascinating relations.
- Your husband and I drank together 20 something years ago.
- I saw you 20 something years ago.
- Me?
- How much did you wander around?
- Me?
- When you were a DJ...
- When I was working at night?
- Yes.
- How embarrassing.
- Maybe it was on the same day.
- You must have gone around a lot of places.
- I don't know.
- How and when did you two meet?
- At first, it was a group blind date.
- Oh, a group blind date.
- A group blind date?
- It was a 5:5 or 6:6 group blind date.
Nowadays, it's like the love line game.
But then...
- The love line game.
- Instead of doing that, we wrote on a piece of paper
the top three people we liked.
We did that, and the both of us
had written each other as 1st place and got connected.
- You remember that?
I don't.
- You told me this, Mom.
- I did? A long time ago?
I keep forgetting, now that I'm older.
- Now that I see it, she seems more relaxed.
She's not shaking anymore.
- She shouldn't be shaking still.
If she does, she'd faint.
So, you did the group blind date
and met for 363 days out of 365 days.
- We met almost everyday.
We talked on the phone for an hour.
- Secretly.
- Yes, an hour every night.
- I put in a lot of effort.
It was difficult.
It was hard.
After we met, I didn't have money to go home.
As a man, I couldn't say I didn't have money.
So I took her home, and at 1 in the morning,
I had no taxi money, so how would I go home?
Sometimes I walked home to here.
- From Gong-neung to here...
- Now, I don't understand why I went through that hardship.
- What did you do for the 363 days you met?
- At that time, Song-choo had just become developed.
- Jang-heung, Jang-heung.
- So we went driving to that area.
- I drove him.
You were a very progressive woman.
- They fought while my mom taught my dad to drive.
He almost got off at the rest area with his stuff.
- Oh my.
- (Narration) A dinner at Ssang-mun area at an old house like in the drama
listening to a dramatic love story.
- I think he knows how to be on a show.
- When he's having fun, he does this.
So I married him because I liked this side of him.
When we were dating, it was always so fun.
- Girls really like that.
- It was so fun. What is it again?
Bad boy?
There's charisma.
- You fell for it.
- Not that. He would lure me and lead me.
But that doesn't matter at all.
- If you marry a bad boy, he's just a bad person.
- That's right.
- It's not a bad boy.
It's a bad person, a universal bad person.
You shouldn't fall for that.
- I know.
- I love bad boys.
- You shouldn't at all.
Just for dating.
- Only date with bad boys.
- Yes.
- Marriage is just.
- Just marry a guy who likes you no matter what.
- That's right.
- Someone who follows only me.
- Sir, compliment your wife.
- Compliment?
- Just three things.
- She's a good cook, and she's very affable.
Sometimes I think she overdoes it, but she's very sociable.
- Sociable.
- And my wife is also in her mid-50s,
but her beauty is still...
- You came when I'm a bit untidy today.
So I'm so sorry about that.
If you had come yesterday, I had full makeup on because of a gathering.
You should've come yesterday.
- We're sorry.
We should've come yesterday, but we film on Wednesdays.
Are you upset about anything?
- Because she's so sociable, sometimes she does things that she doesn't have to.
You know, talking about unnecessary things.
- Nosy.
- If there's anything related, then she pretends to know.
- That's characteristic of a married woman.
- You could do that.
You could do that.
- I don't think that's right.
- Another one?
- Well, except for that...
I don't think there's anything in particular.
I need to make it through today, you know?
After you leave, I have to apologize.
- Sir, you're so charming.
- If he continues because he's having fun...
- That's right.
- Yes, that'll be a problem.
- He went to far.
- Ma'am, your mother-in-law passed away 2 years ago?
- Yes, she did.
- You've been married for 40 years.
Then you lived with your mother-in-law for 40 years?
- Yes.
- What kind of a mother-in-law was she?
- She was a tremendous mother-in-law.
Just...
I get teary talking about her.
- Was she scary?
- Would I call her scary?
She was scary, but...
- Ma'am, did you get hurt a lot?
- My heart aches when I think of that.
Living was hard.
But now that I think about it,
I think I went through it well with patience.
- What did your husband say about that?
- I didn't say anything.
A long time ago, his father came down from the north and passed away early.
So we had a hard time. My husband suffered a lot.
We raised his younger siblings and married them off.
- But you didn't say a word to your husband even once?
- Not even once.
It was like that for our generation.
We didn't know how to tell my husband.
I went to my mother to tell her that
my mother-in-law did this and that, and my mother
scolded me a lot for talking about my husband's household at home.
So I didn't talk about it again.
- After that.
Since you were still innocent, you must have cried.
Your mom should understand.
- But she wouldn't let me talk about my husband's household at home.
- You must have suffered a lot by yourself.
- That's right, I didn't say anything to my siblings either.
I'd cry by myself and hit my children.
- You hit your children?
- I'd hit my children.
It's now that I think like this, but I think I was so naive back then.
It was a matter of course that I'd set the table for my mother-in-law to eat
and wake up early in the morning to pack lunch for my sisters-in-law.
- Your husband must not know about this still.
- I tell him now.
I tell him now how things were back then.
Back then, I thought it was bad to tell my husband.
- What does he say now when he listens to your stories?
- He doesn't say anything.
His mother...
It hurts his pride, since she's his mother, right?
- He just stays still?
- He stays still.
He must be hurting inside, right?
- And he's thankful to his wife.
- Ma'am, it could be hard for everyone.
How do you overcome that?
- Because of my children. My two children.
My son.
We also have only two sons.
My older son has two sons, I had two sons, my younger son also has two sons.
- As you took care of your mother-in-law for 40 years,
you were upset and suffered a lot, so do you try to not let
your daughters-in-law feel the same thing?
Do you think maybe they feel the same?
- When we're upset with each other, we tell each other,
so I don't think we have anything like that.
- Do you share what you are feeling?
We do.
When I go somewhere, I tell them, and my daughters-in-law tell me too.
Because we talk about everything with each other,
I have nothing to be upset. I'm thankful.
They're good to me.
I talk a lot with my daughter-in-law, so I don't feel uncomfortable at all.
Somebody said I must be sad that I don't have a daughter,
but I don't feel that at all.
To this day, I've never regretted not having a daughter.
- Oh, the oldest grandson.
- Hi.
- Attention.
Black belt, attention.
Step one step forward.
- So cute.
- Salute to Sir Kang Ho-dong.
Introduce yourself.
- I'm Shin Seung-heon of Chang-gyung Elementary School, class 4 of 6th grade.
- Do a kick.
Ready.
- Ay!
- Louder, louder.
- Ah!
- Kick. Start.
- Wow.
- Kick twice. Start.
- Wow~.
- Sit down.
- Wow, so cool.
- He has a third degree black belt.
- Seung-heon, do you know who he is?
- Kang Ho-dong.
- Do you know who I am?
- Hye-ri.
- How do you know me?
- I saw you on TV.
You saw me on TV?
What do you think after seeing me?
Do I look the same as on TV?
- Let's be honest.
Is she prettier on TV or in person?
- On TV.
- So who do you like the best in Girl's Day?
- I'm not interested in Girl's Day.
- This could happen.
- Uh-oh.
- This could happen.
He's really into taekwondo nowadays...
And what is it...
Why?
- You can't have just a little bit?
- We can't.
- Are you good at sports?
- Yes.
- What time does your parents come home?
- Around 8~9 PM.
- Where does your mom work?
- MBC.
- How about us?
- JTBC.
- Why?
- The sweet rice drink is good. I should've given you some.
- Thank you.
Wow.
- I made the malt, so it's good.
- Wow.
- Wow, this is the same taste from when I was in elementary school.
It's the deep taste from my uncle's house in the country side.
Wow.
- I feel bad. I should've given them some.
I made a lot, so we could share.
- Ma'am, a little bit more...
- (Narration) The twin dogs of Ssang-mun area have cleared their meals and sweet rice drinks.
- You've lived here for 28 years.
- We are the original residents here after coming down from the North.
My husband is the original resident.
- Your husband and mother-in-law settled in Ssang-mun area,
and your husband was born and raised there.
- Yes, but he's the eldest son.
Since my father-in-law passed away early,
he suffered a lot as the eldest son.
He had to do a lot ancestral rites and raise his younger siblings
and Mary them off, so he suffered a lot.
My husband, really.
But now, he drinks a lot, so he's hateful.
- Does he drink everyday?
- 370 days out of 365 days...
- How amazing.
We want to try talking to him over the phone.
- Why isn't he coming home?
- Try calling him.
- Yes.
Hello.
- Where are you?
Where are you?
- I'm having a drink with my friends.
- You drank a lot.
- We finished.
- At our house... Do you know Kang Ho-dong?
- Ma'am, give it to me.
- Sir.
- Yes.
- Sir, I'm Kang Ho-dong.
- The champion? Why?
- Out of all the people on TV, who do you like the best?
- Kang Ho-dong.
- What kind of drinks are you having?
- Makgeoli, soju, and spicy seafood noodle soup.
- Did something good happen today?
- No, I'm like this everyday.
- 370 days, not 365.
- Why did you come to our house?
- I talked a lot with your wife.
- Yes.
- She suffered a lot while caring for her mother-in-law.
- She did.
- Did you hear that from your wife?
- I did.
- How did you feel after hearing that?
- I'm in the middle, so I didn't feel good.
I couldn't take my mother's side nor take my wife's side.
- I told him just recently. Did I ever tell him before?
- Sir, your wife will say three upsetting things about you.
- I wish you wouldn't drink.
I wish you would drink less.
- She wants you to drink less.
- I wish you would exercise more.
That's it. Just two things.
- And do you wish he'd love you more?
You don't want that?
- I wish you'd care for me a lot.
Not love.
- Really?
- What do you think, sir?
About these three upsetting things.
- I should listen well to my wife.
Honey, I love you.
I'm sorry for making you suffer.
- I'm thankful that you know that.
- Yes.
- Your grandsons have something to tell their grandfather.
Wait.
- Yes.
- Live long and healthy.
- Yi-heon too.
- Live long and healthy.
- How nice.
- Thank you.
- Yes, sir, we'll meet again.
Sir, come home early.
Do you have any current concerns about your family
or anything you wish for the future?
- I hope that my husband and I live healthily together
and then pass away peacefully. That's what I wish.
At this age, that's what I most hope for.
To pass away properly. To live properly and pass away well.
Right?
- This is a famous saying from another show.
To our good-hearted mother, I compliment with all my heart~.
- I think that way
I need to live well, and that will pass down to our children.
I always think that.
- (Narration) A dinner that reminds of our grandma who always worried about her children.
- I can't take this red pepper paste home, right?
This is her heart.
Hye-ri, do you want to bring this home to your mom?
- Yes, Ho-dong.
- Your mother makes it, right?
- You never refuse.
- Thank you.
- I didn't know you'd take that offer right away.
- I mean, her mother probably makes it.
- No, no.
My mother always buys the red pepper past,
and eats that.
- Those have lots of preservatives.
- So if I didn't take it right away, I don't think he would've given it to me.
- The soy bean paste too.
- I like this squeaky sound.
- I did a lot of dishes when I lived together with the members.
- Ma'am, don't you like this sound?
Squeaky, squeaky.
- Yes.
- (Narration) Celebrating the success of both teams today,
it is now the promised time for Girl's Day.
- I'll introduce you.
This feels sort of like a night club.
Thank you for visiting our place today.
The guest for today is Minah from Girl's Day.
- Wow.
- Ta-da.
Girl's Day's mini album came out in 1 year and 9 months.
The title is 'I'll be yours.'
It's a very rhythmical and groovy song,
and it's an easy song for everyone to follow.
- Whatcha doing now? I'll be yours, baby, I'll be yours.
Baby, I'll be yours.
Whatcha doing now? I'll be yours, baby, I'll be yours.
You want to catch me.
Baby, I'll be yours.
- That's it.
- Will you sweetly talk to me like the honey dripping from your eyes?
I'll be yours.
- Wow, she's really a singer.
- Isn't it different?
- It is.
- A singer is different from a normal person.
- I know.
- Now, you should sing a song, ma'am.
- Me?
A song...
- She turns on music while doing housework.
- Really?
- She has a play list.
- No, but this is... This is...
- These are music that I actually listen to.
I often listen to Crush and Taeyang's Eyes, Nose, Lips.
- Then can I sing along with Im Chang-jung's song?
Love Again.
The fact that I met her
- Wow, what a beautiful voice.
- Maybe it’s just a passing encounter,
but again today, I love you.
Because love always comes, as if it’s the last time~.
- Wow.
- Clap, clap.
- When we first came in, she was so bewildered.
Wait, wait.
When we're about to leave, she sings.
- I know.
- Ma'am, you're amazing.
- Say cheese, you're good at acting.
1, 2, 3.
- Look quick.
- (Narration) At an alley in Ssang-mun area where memories have landed,
the 31st and 32nd houses have replied with a meal.
And the memorable, special moments have been delivered.
- It was nice to take a picture with celebrities.
You ate so well, so we had a great time.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- You've let us realize again our family's happiness.
Let's Eat Dinner Together, thank you.
- Among the 365 days in a year, a day like this...
- The guest is coming.
- What is it?
- Is it an actor?
- Oh!
Kim Yun-jin!
Wow!
- Wow!
- A world star.
How long has it been since you came on a variety show?
- I think in almost 10 years.
- We filmed a movie.
A movie together.
- If you come out to promote, it doesn't look pure and innocent.
- I'm not pure to begin with.
- Come here.
- Are American dramas similar to ours?
- They have a regular schedule.
- It's all decided.
I insist on that.
Let's decide on a time table for variety shows.
These guys have stretched the time.
- Have dinner in Ma-du area of at Il-san.
- Hollywood.
- This really feels like a movie set.
- These are strawberry flowers.
- This is so cool.
How pretty.
Do you keep walking around like this?
- Yes.

- It's a set-up.
- It's a set-up?
Have you planted trees on Arbor Day?
- No.

It opens on April 5th.
- Stop it.
I don't think anyone will be home here.
- Is this a failure?
- This is a failure.
- Even if nobody's home?
- They're not home.
- I don't think they're home.
Why is nobody home?
- They're not home.
- Who is it?
- Hello.
I'm Ok Tacyeon of 2PM.
Do you know me?
- Who are you?
- I think every place will be a failure.
