- I'll take you, father. - Yes, you take him.
- I'm actually really nervous.
- Su-kyung, after we become older,
if we meet again, we can talk about
how we rode bicycles,
in the rain, in Sejong-city.
- Again in ten years?
Special day, right?
- Try riding it, first.
- Me? - Yes, because...
- You can trust me.
- But I'm worried.
I'm won't ride if you're bad at it.
- This won't tip. It won't fall.
- Oh, really.
- Get on board.

- Do you have a philosophy you live by?
Just doing my best everyday.
We might die tomorrow or the day after. - Yes.

and if my efforts are piled up and collected
it could become a biography or a dictionary.

Because you work late.
How about the missuses.

- Yes, I think so.
- But why are you here, not working?
What are you doing.
We're in a troubled nation.
Smoking, when you're in the Health Ministry?
Where would this lead our country to?

Hey, buddy.

Hey, kid.

- Huh?
- This and that.
- This and that, and did you become close?
- How old are you?
- Thirteen?
- Thirteen is the age to like me the most.
- Isn't it to like Yuk Sung-jae? - Yes, it's him.
Take a picture, with the kids.
- There are a lot of children here.
Many children. - The uh.....
- The lady at the real estate agency was right, about the average age 31.8.
Their parents would mostly be in their 40s.
Right?
- But seeing that there are many kids,
they have to eat dinner, too.
- Yes, of course.
The trees and children have something in common.
People help them grow. - Yes
- You care for them, so if it's a house with children
they might be kinder to us, too.
- Yes. - It seems more likely.
- I really hope we succeed today.
- So let's not move around too much today
and ring all the bells in one building.
Kind of like our Mokdong episode.
The apartment challenge.
- It must feel worse to fail a challenge on a rainy day like this.
- It's a relief there are convenience
stores nearby.
- (Narration) The evening of Se-jong city came with much worries.
- So, Kyung-kyu, the clock's pointing at 6.
- Okay, let's do this.
- Let's go!
- What are you going to say?
Mention Goblin?
- I guess so.
- Hello, I'm Yuk Sun-jae of Goblin.
I'm Yuk Sung-jae.
Do you recognize me?
- Don't introduce yourself like that from the start.
- Hello.
- He could, he's popular.
Yuk Sung-jae.
It's a rare last name.
So a lot of people know.
- What are you going to say? - Me?
I'm actress Lee Su-kyung.
I'm currently starring in 'Father I'll take care of you'.
- What's that?
- It's a TV series. - We've been talking about it all day.
- TV series. - I was shocked.
Saying to take care of someone's father.
Taking care of a father.
- It's the show title.
- Oh, the title of the TV series.
- TV series.
- 'Father, I'll take care of you.'
If you just go like that out of nowhere,
people might misunderstand that you actually will take care of them.
- I am currently starring in the TV series 'Father, I'll take care of you.'
- There you go.
- Kyung-kyu, we have to shoot this for each other, for each team.
The whole camera crew can't come inside, so.
Near, like this.
- Like this?
- No, you have to shoot the other person.
- Who do I shoot. - Like this.
- My last name is Yuk, so 6(yuk) is a lucky number for me.
- Yuk. It must be.
Then let's try sixth floor. - Okay, sixth floor.
- Because I like to eat meat(yuk-gogi).
- Right?
- Kyung-kyu, we have to alternate, even if nobody answers.
- Let's try.
- Shall we?
- There's only line 1 and 2.
- There we go. Okay, okay.
- What now? - So nervous.
- Oh, someone's answering. - Hello.
Hi.
I'm actress Lee Su-kyung.
Have you heard of me?
- Let's Eat Dinner Together.
- Yes, we are.
Did you have dinner yet?

So, if you haven't yet,
would you like to eat with us?
- Yes, I can, but
I don't really have anything prepared.
- Oh, alright.
- She seems a bit uncomfortable.
- I'm not sure.
You don't have to cook anything for us, really.
- But you guys must be shivering outside in the rain, so,
I would like to invite you inside.
Come inside, out of the rain.
- Okay, okay.
- All I have is cooked rice and kimchi, green onion kimchi.
- We could come in and just have cold rice and rice.
Would that be okay?
- How do you have cold rice and rice?
Talking about this and that.
- Sure.
- Ma'am, we'll come inside if you open the door for us.
- (Narration) Is the Se-jong city door opening in just one try?
- You two probably are not eating today.
- Sorry?
- You'll starve today.
- Why?
- (Narration) Failure was predicted.
Even the weather wasn't of help.
But then.
- Ma'am, we'll come inside if you open the door for us.
- Wow, look. On our first try.
- Is this it?
- Kyung-kyu, this is a rare case.
Su-kyung, we'll have to meet some other time.
It's time for goodbye right now.
I hope to see you at another program.
At 'Knowing Bros.' - At 'Knowing Bros.'

- 14th.

Alright. - Sixth, sixth floor.
That's it. Your name already says six(yuk).

Never on the first try.
This is a historical moment for our show.

With winter kimchi. - Or how about green onion pancakes...
Pancakes.
Onion pancakes on a rainy day.

- Some people like
to have spring onion pancakes on rainy days.
- (Narration) So many food cravings on rainy days.
- I have a bad feeling.

- Hi.
I'm Yuk Sung-jae. Have you heard of me?
- Yes, I have, but what are the cameras.
- Excuse me?
- Just a second
- Is he upset?
- Is he angry?
- I don't know.
Hi.
- What is it?
- Hi, I'm actor Yuk Sung-jae.
- Oh, no. - Do you know me?
- Oh, Yuk(6) Sung-jae, not Oh(5) Sung-jae.
- So I came to floor six because I'm Yuk(6) Sung-jae.
- Oh, that's why. - Yes.
And right now we are...
- Wow, it's like a dream.
I don't have much hair so I even put a hat on,
but please come in.
- So, we're in a program where you eat dinners together.
- Isn't it the one with Mr. Kang Ho-dong?
- Yes.
Did you have dinner yet?
- I did, but I'll have another.
- Oh, no, sir.
- Wait, what is this anyways.
- It's Let's Eat Dinner Together. - I could be a good MC.
- You can't if you already had dinner.
- No, I didn't.
It's my dream to be on television like this.
- Sir, Yuk Sung-jae, here.
- We targeted sixth floor because of him.
- My last name is Chun(sky).
So I'm much higher than six.
- Mr. Chun?
- Ho-dong, you wouldn't even laugh.
- I've lost some sense of humor recently.
Sky over six. Much...
Higher.
If you haven't eaten we could have talked over dinner.
Discussing this and that.
But, in that sense.
- My wife is good looking and all, so let's say we didn't eat yet
Can we start over?
- He knows how shows work.
- Mr. Kang Ho-dong. You can go then.
And later, it's really funny when I do this, so.
I'm so ready for this.
- But you already had dinner.
So, we... - I'm really lonesome right now.
I retired last year, and it's really good seeing new people.
Mr. Yuk, can't you do anything about this?
- Me?
Can't we just retake this part?
- Retake, how.
- We'll have another go then.
- Again, then.
- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.
Sir, it's Kang Ho-dong.
Oh, wow.
Why is it like we've met before?
- I know, right?
It's like we've already met a few times.
- May I ask why you're wearing a hat indoors?
- That, is because I heard Mr. Yuk Sung-jae was here,
and I thought to wear it as a manner.
- It's as if you knew we were coming.
- It was really my big dream, at least for once,
to be on a TV show.
- We heard you had a late lunch?
- Yes, we did, and we were
just about to prepare our dinner. - Just in time.
Then would it be okay if we joined you for dinner?
- Most welcome, of course.
- Talk about this and that inside.
How does he know this?
How do you know that?
- I'm really good at impersonating, so.
- But it's the first time I've said it on TV.
- Oh, is it? - Yes.
It's like I've seen it somewhere.
- But we just met.
- Can you do it again? What was it?
- This, and that.
- You're the best, really.
It was really my hope and dream to be on television.
- Your wish just came true, right?
How do you feel?
- Amazing.
It's really a dream come true,
and an honor to be part of this opportunity,
and thank you for shooting at our place.
- Sir, you're making me cry.
Tears are...
You're eyes are welling up.
Thank you for the fun we had.
- Thank you.
- By the way, your acting was a bit awkward.
- I also felt that I was unnatural.
- You even changed into a different hat.
- I will show you my hat collection if I get a chance.
- 602.
- Thank you.
- (Narration) Mr. Chun's fun energy cheered the two up.
- You feel much better?
The energy, right? - It's awesome, really.
- We really should do our best. - Yes.
- No more walking from now on.
We're running. Ready, bam!
- Where did you live before moving to Se-jong?
- It's only been 4, 5 months since we moved from Incheon.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
- It's because of your husband's job? - Yes.
- His company moved.
- The company moved.
Science researcher?
- Developing pharmaceuticals.
- Medicine.
I should ask later.
I take too many pills.
So, what do you do?
- I used to do taxes,
but now it's my second week in a general office.
- What's this?
- It's an overripe kimchi, made recently. - Great.
- It's really good cooked with pork. - This is the real stuff.
Wow.
- Nice.
- Oh, we have spicy stirred pork.
I can warm this up for you.
- Oh, for us. - It's a relief we have something more.
What a relief. - Pumpkins.
- I learned how to cook pumpkin pancakes from my mother-in-law.
- Oh, you did?
- It's really good, I'm definitely cooking this for you.
- Wow.
- From your mother?
- My mother-in-law.
- Your mother-in-law.
- My mother passed away a long time ago.
This is really good. - Really.
- It's going to be the perfect meal.
Pumpkin pancakes.
- You didn't visit anywhere for lunch,
and this is your first visit? - Yes.
- I see.
I don't think I can do it with you here.
I don't want to be compared with you. - No, not at all.
- You're gorgeous.
- Please shoot her beautifully. - It's alright.
- It's been three years since you got married?
- Yes.
- Do you like being married?
- Of course.
- Really? - I really do...
- Really ? - Yes, I do.
- What's the best part?
- Countless. I used to not want to get married.
- You used to want to be single. - Yes.
I wanted to live with my sister and my father,
but my sister-in-law introduced us to each other.
And we got married in less than a year since we met.
I'm so happy ever since.
- No regrets, or big fights?
- Many. - Of course.
- Fights. - It's a must.
You get to fight.
- We'll wait a bit more. - Daddy's here.
Gun, dad's here.

Dad!
Dad.
Wow, hello.
Very nice to meet you.
Very glad.

- This is Ms. Lee Su-kyung.
It's daddy.
- Daddy's here, Gun.
- Please come.
- Oh, wow.
- Do you usually get off work around now?
- No, no.
I had work to do but I came to see you.
- For us? - Yes.
- You were worried we might do something wrong.
You were concerned. - Yes.
- Pharmaceuticals, I heard?
- Yes, developing, partially.
- Are there any incentives if your company relocates to Se-jong city?
- We are a start-up,
so there are some incentives, as far as I know.
So.
- What type of medicine are you working on?
- Many different tests need to be done before a newly developed medicine
reaches its consumers,
and our company participates in
conducting one of those tests.
- I would like to add something but all I can do is nod.
- Gun's mother says she loves being married.
Is it the same for you?
- I'm thankful to her, really.
I didn't really thought of getting married, and almost gave up.
But my sister set us up.
I really appreciate her help.
- You almost gave up.
- Yes, eventually.
- When did you get married?
- When I was 41.
I was busy working in a lab, and somehow.
- What was the one thing that made you decide to get married at the age of 41?
- I met my wife and we talked about a lot of things,
and I just felt it.
That she was the one?
- Yes, just naturally.
- Yes, like fate.
- Did I bore you?
- The universe helped you. - No, not at all.
- Isn't this supposed to be funnier?
- I'm having plenty of fun.
- You shouldn't make things up for the sake of laughter.
- I'm still processing all this.
Mr. Lee Kyung-kyu and Ms. Lee Su-kyung in our house,
I'm not sure if this is even real.
- Uh, if I may, have you watched our show before?

- No, you look perfect.
- Go ahead.
- Why did you open the door?
Weren't you afraid?

How should we do this.
Would you join us before the food gets cold?
- Should I sit in here?

Your skin is flawless. - I didn't expect
you to be so tall.

No good deeds?
What about fourth floor.
- Four.
No one's here.
There's no one.
- Oh, no, we've already eaten.
- We don't have time.
Let's run, we don't have time.
Sung-jae. - Yes.
- Let's go.
- I want sausage stew.
Kyung-kyu's team may have already finished eating.
- It's possible.
It could be the end if we fail here. - Okay.
- I thought someone was here. - Huh?
- It's so children. - Yes.
We're running out of time.
- Let's calm down.
Calm down, calm down.
- Who is this?
- Hello, sir.
I am actor Yuk Sung-jae.
Have you heard of me? - Yes.
- Oh. - Really?
We're in a program where we eat dinner together.
So if it's alright with you.

Would you like to hear more about us?
We are.
- Hello. - Hello, sir.
- Hi. - So, we're in a program called...Hi, princess.
Hi, little princess.
We're shooting this program.
We've visited the special city of Se-jong.
And we came to capture the special dinner table moments of Se-jong.
It's a program where we can talk about this and that, and share our love.
Did you have dinner?
- No, we're preparing.
- Oh, so would you speak with your wife,
and feel free to invite us in for light chatting
and share just simple meals, which is what we do here.
Would you like to think about it? - Our house is too messy, so.
- We can definitely wait for you.
Would you discuss it first?
We'll be waiting here.
- But Ho-dong, did you smell the freshly cooked rice the moment the door opened?
- Yes, I sure did.
- But this, I think it's not an easy thing to do.
- Of course not.
Opening the door means opening this up.
Opening this. - Can you not...
Means opening this.
Hello.
- Oh my, wait, no.
- Hi princess.
How old are you princess?
Are you the nice princess or the naughty princess?
- I'm six.
- Six? - Six?
- Yuk(6)!
Six.
- Six?
- We're destined today.
Yuk(6) Sung-jae, and a six-year-old.
Ma'am.
It seems like you were doing your laundry, but would you like to be
dinner buddies with us, Sung-jae and Ho-dong today?
- (Narration) Could the six-year-old girl
be the lucky 6 for Yuk Sung-jae.
- Would you like to be our dinner buddies this evening?
Is that a yes?
- Yes.
- I told you we can do it.
- Thank you.
Thank you.

What's her name?

What was Ga-eul's daddy doing?
- What happened?
My face is sweaty.
- (Narration) The lucky encounter in the rainy city of Se-jong.
- Ga-eul, have you seen me on the TV?
- I don't know.
- You've never seen me?
Is my face big or not?
- Big.
Small.
- It is.
Can you come here, sir.
Your dad and I are about the same size.
We can all sit here.
Can you hold your hand out?
Hey, Ga-eul, among your dad and the two of us
can you shake hands with the best looking person?
Shake the hand.
- Take the hand.
Of course.
- How about second best.
- Second best looking.
- Second handsome person.
I'm more like your daddy.
- I know.
- What were you planning on having today?
- Just some seasoned spring greens, and wild chive soybean paste soup.
- Yes, soybean soup needs to go with wild chives in spring.
It's good for your stomach.
It sure is.
- My in-laws sent us wild chives, because we asked for them.
- Everyone here is so witty and full of energy.
Where do your in-laws live at?
- Yeong-yang, Gyeong-buk.
- Yeong-yang.
- So it's Yeong-yang(nutritious).
- Very nutritious.
- Where are you from?
- I'm from Chung-ju.
- Oh, it's near from here.
- Oh, my mom gathered these wild chives, since it's spring.
- Do you need any help?
- No, no.
- I'm a pretty good cook, so.
- Uh, then can you please check the fish?
- Oh, sure.
What kind of fish is this?
- It's sole fish.
Do you usually have dinner around this time?
- It's usually earlier, but we're running a little late today.
- Wow, it's so lucky that we found you today.
- We're usually done eating by 7.
- Wow.
This really is fate.
- Sir, then what do you do for a living here in Se-jong?
- I'm running a private business.
- A private business.
Not in Se-jong, but in Chung-ju.
- Near Chung-ju.
Then how long is your commute, the travel time?
- A 20-minute-drive.
- That sounds quite alright. - Yes.
- You could have settled down in Chung-ju.
- Yes.
- Is there a reason you chose Se-jong?
- I didn't exactly have specific plans, but
we visited Se-jong and we like it.
And we signed this house on that day.
- On the day of the visit?
The very day? - Yes.
- We just came to see, and.
- Does your wife work as well?
- She's in a graduate school of education, but she's having a semester off.
- Taking a break.
Focusing on her daughter.
You're attending an education grad school?
- Yes.
- What kind of education?
- Nutrition.
- Nutrition (Yeong-yang). - Yes.
- And you're from Yeong-yang?
A lot of Yeong-yangs here.
- Yeah.
- You look very nutrition-balanced as well.
You didn't think we'll ring your doorbell, did you?
- If you want to study English, come to... - We weren't expecting anyone, so.
What's that?
- If you want to study English, come to...
- You shouldn't do that. - Super easy.
- Are you in that advertisement?
- Yes, I am.
- How did you know?
- The advertisers would love this.
- Can I take a look? - Oh, sure.
- Hot, hot.
But the smell. - It's a very profound scent.
- There are 3D and 4D.
Technologies for TVs.
It would be awesome if we can deliver these smells too.
- I thought so too.
- The viewers can maybe feel it from the color.
Take a look.
This is it.
Look how springy the tofu pieces are.
- It looks so good.
- What's this? - Sorry?
- This one here.
- Oh, I should season this too.
- Are these wild chives?
- No, these are just chives.
Spring chives.
- We don't call these chives from where I come.
We call them golden chives.
- Golden?
- Golden.
Because they're as rare as gold.
- Golden chives.
It's been a while since people misheard me.
Golden chives.
- It's been really long since I had a home-cooked meal.
- You live with your group members.
How many members in BtoB?
- 7, but only 4 live together.
And we usually order in, so.
I really missed a home-cooked meal.
- (Narration) A homemade meal for Sung-jae,
with mom-style golden chives
and spring scented rhubarbs
are seasoned by Ga-eul's mom.
With fried sole fish.
- Wow, look at this color.
- (Narration) The colorful multi-grain, cooked rice.
- Look at this color.
- Wow.
- (Narration) The bright red winter kimchi.
And daddy's sunny side up eggs, too.
- Do you normally do this?
Do you help her out usually?
- He does, for simple things like fried eggs.
- You can tell he's done it quite a few times.
- Quite a few, yes.
- Wow, everything whipped up, just like this.
- Everything looks so healthy.
- Dinner at Se-jong city.
- (Narration) This is a nutritious seasonal dinner table,
made by a nutrition-major mother.
- So we have this little skit,
where you act as if there are no cameras,
and show us your dinner.
Called the 'dinner cinema.' Ready, action.
- Come and sit.
Let's eat.
Thank you.
- Ga-eul, do you want eggs, first?
In just a minute.
Try this.
- I don't like fish.
- But you like the crust, Ga-eul.
The crust.
- I don't want it.
- Who do you become like if you're a picky eater?
- Dad.
- Okay.
- Mom. - Yes?
- What's a ready, action.
- It's so that Mr. Ho-dong can...
- I think we can wrap up here.
Thank you for the 'dinner cinema.'
- Who do you become if you're picky?
- Daddy.
- We should take seats too, now.
We truly thank you for the meal.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- I hope the food is alright.
First of all, the soybean paste soup.
We should show the viewers the tofu, and...
The wild chive, together like this.
- You shouldn't do that.
- I'll give it a try too.
- Delicious.
These are so good.
- With the soybean paste.
- (Narration) Ho-dong, the pro-eater, is enjoying the spring greens very much.
- Seasonal dishes are the best.
- (Narration) Sung-jae, a former Goblin star, is now a food lover star.
- This is all so healthy.
- (Narration) The healthy, everyday meal,
with special guests invited,
made a much warmer and enjoyable dinner.
- This is nice.
- The soybean soup is good.
It's like having a taste of spring, really.
It really tastes like spring.
- Spring rain today, too. - Yes.
- Would you like some more?
- Yes, please.
- Hey, you're a celebrity.
- But the food is too good.
I feel at home, really.
Like my mom.
My mom also makes quilts, too.
I saw a quilting piece on the way inside.
Thank you. - It's unfinished.
- I really feel at home.
- Ga-eul, this is what a food show is.
Look.
I'm showing you. Look.
All this at once. - Look at him.
- Three, two, one.
- Would you like some more?
- I can get it, thank you.
- No, please.
- You should get yours, too.
- I'm going anyways.
- Don't they look similar from behind?
- They're like brothers.
Similar hair styles, too.
- I think he has two celebrity look-alikes.
Mr. Kang Ho-dong and Yang Jun-hyuk, in my opinion.
- But really, are you a professional athlete?
- When I was young.
- I played baseball.
- What year did you enter college?
- What year?
- How old are you? Chinese zodiac sign?
- I'm a monkey.
- Are you born in 1968? - No!!
Wait.
- So you couldn't imagine him that age...
- So if not 1968, then 1956?
- Oh, please.
- 1980?
- Yes.
- Oh, really?
- Maybe it's because I'm tired.
I got tanned last week from my trip to Southeast Asia.
- Oh, so you looked younger before you went?
- I had lighter skin.
- Oh, so 1980?
- Yes.
Actually, I kind of still look like myself when I was a teenager.
So people say that I look younger than my age.
Or at least just my real age.
- When I was young, when I ate at Chinese restaurants with my friends.
Adults would be angry if my friends were rude to me.
Because they thought I was much older.
That's how I used to be too.
People who look older when they're young
keep their looks later on and,
end up looking younger than their age.
That's going to be you.
- (Narration) While the talk on age and looks continued,
so was food lover Su-kyung's dinner.
- Delicious.
Just a little more.
- Huh?
- I'm just having a little more.
- Fruits for dessert?
- Yes, dessert.
- Do you need some help?
- No, you might get hurt.
- No, no. I won't. - No, you might.
- No, no. I'll be okay.
- I can do it.
- No, no.
Then I'll do this.
- How are chores divided for you two?
- It's quite evenly divided.
He does most of the laundry and cleaning.
- The husband does? - Yes.
- Wow, you waited till 40.
- That's why you were so happy with marriage. - Yes.
- The laundry and cleaning.
- He does it for you.
- I hope it's not too much trouble.
- You're really having a full meal with us?
I'm going to wake up tomorrow and then know this happened.
- I can't look her in the eye.
You're like a barbie. - Who?
- Me?
- Like a ...
- What type of barbie?
- A tall one.
You're so gorgeous.
- Thank you.
So kind, too.
I think I'm going to smile to bed tonight.
- (Narration) A large, delicious meal, topped with compliments,
must be the best meal in the world.
- So we have another segment, here.
Disappointments and Appreciations.
Just as usual.
Can you list three things that you appreciate?
- First...
- You have to think...
- None? - I'm worried.
- First, I appreciate your loving me. - Now this is a first.
For loving me.
- And second, I appreciate how you get along
with my parents so well. - Yes.
- And I appreciate how you are raising our son Gun.
- Three in one go.
He just said that he appreciates how she loves him
I've never heard that on this show.
It's very sweet. Romantic.
- I thought of it on my way here.
While driving. - In the car.
You expected a situation like this.
- Wow, fans of the show.
- Such a researcher.
- Right. - He's always studying.
- People usually just run home.
- Right.
- How about you.
- He stays the same.
Unchanging. - Unchanging.
- I can really depend on him, and I appreciate
how supportive he is. - Of course.
So he really gives off, a husband-material kind of felling.
Handsome, tall, and deep eyes.
- My nickname in college was,
- Mr. Lee Kyung-kyu. - Really?
- Seniors in my major would call me,
Kyung-kyu, Kyung-kyu, and would walk over to me.
So that's how I became Lee Kyung-kyu.
Because of my jawline.
- The jawline...
- Actually, when you arrived,
I thought you kind of looked like me. Really.
Your mouth protruding a bit, like this, too.
- And the overall vibe.
- I thought was similar.
- My apologies.
- No, no.
- You look very handsome in person.
- You look really young, too.
- Is there anything you would like to ask of her?
- If any.
- I don't, but since you ask.
- The one you thought of while driving.
- She seems quite stressed out about work and child-raising,
recently, I think.
So I wish she would be less stressed out.
- Stress.
- She loses her temper more often.
- It's inevitable.
Working, and raising kids.
It can only be stressful.
- You can't be a perfect multi-tasker.
- And you?
- I wish we could visit your parents more often.
I know we're busy and tired, but visiting them and dining.
- Seeing them more often. - Yes.
- Flooding with love here.
- So, this is how you're making me look bad.
- How did you two meet?
- I worked as a nutritionist, and was introduced ...
- We were business partners. - His customer.
She was actually quite a nosy person.
She didn't even ask whether I was seeing anyone.
And brought him to the restaurant.
- You usually ask and see if people are single or not, but.
But it worked out anyways, so.
- But thankfully, he broke up with his girlfriend just a week ago.
- Oh, no. Just a week ago.
- He wouldn't have come if it were just a week earlier.
- It was only a week after you broke up,
so you wouldn't have went if you knew.
- But you mend your broken heart with a new love, so.
- Would this go out?
- It already has.
- What made you want to go out with her?
- First, she was smarter than me.
And clever, too.
And pretty.
- I can tell.
What made you fall for him?
- I didn't exactly fall, but when you're young,
you meet different people and learn how people are.
But on our first date, he came to Dae-jeon,
which is where I lived then, but his looks...
He looked exactly the same, he hasn't aged.
He looked the same.
So I had to meet him somewhere,
but we didn't make it to downtown.
And I lived right across from Dun-san department store.
- We went to Gye-ryong mountain. - Of all places.
- Gye-ryong mountain.
- In your early twenties.
- It was dark there, so we drove straight to a restaurant,
so we can eat and say goodbye.
But what got me was this. I had sesame soup,
but I didn't finish all of it.
And he ate my leftovers without any hesitation.
That kind of got me.
People don't do that, usually.
And we talked and he was kind of funny, too, so.
- How did you propose?
- He didn't.
- Sorry?
- He didn't.
Thank you for coming and helping us get in another fight.
- You seemed like nice people...
- You should've just did what others did.
- No but we went on a trip,
had something nice to eat, and I bought her a nice purse.
- Wait, no.
This is what he always says.
- Can't you just accept a nice purse as a propose gift?
- No, no. Hear me out first.
- Please use nicer language.
- No, my mother-in-law gave me a wedding gift but thought it wasn't enough,
and gave him more money for something extra.
And he told me about it, and I said, no.
I told him to give the money back to her.
But instead, he bought camera lenses with that money.
- What?
- Camera lenses.
Lense. Camera.
- For who.
- For himself.
- Did you really have to bring that up... - So, yes.
- So I was really mad.
- And he felt bad for that, and bought a purse for me on our honeymoon trip.
Has nothing to do with the proposal.
- I shouldn't have asked. - Right.
- I probably shouldn't say this, but you've got some nerves.
Do you still have those lenses?
- I sold them.
- What did you do with the money?
- I think I bought camping equipment.
- There you go.
- It was recent.
We go camping often, but tents were uncomfortable to use,
and we decided to buy a caravan, since we have a baby as well.
It was a big decision but we eventually did buy it.
But you chain the caravan to your car to use it.
But then you have to have a trailer driving license to drive that.
So he asked me to get that license.
- It's because I was busy. - Busy, of course.
- This is so not what I expected.
- You did buy it.
Somebody had to drive it.
- The trailer dealer was surprised too,
saying he'd never seen a woman drive it.
- You did get the license after all?
- We had already ordered the caravan.
He had neither willingness nor the time to do it,
so I had to get the license,
and drove the caravan home that weekend.
- So you've been driving the trailer ever since?
- Ever since.
- She's a good driver.
- There you go.
- Cool.
- Constancy to purpose.
- Constancy, cool.
So, he's always really ambitious,
but I end up having to do the real work all the time.
- So you two squabble like that,
but you two are surely a married couple...
Who has more power here? Power?
Is it 1:9? Or what?
- About 9:2.
- What's 9:2?
- What's 9:2.
Deep inside, I think, maybe 1%.
Secret funds.
- He's digging his own grave.
- He's really nice and gentle most of the time,
but he sometimes provokes me like this, digging his own grave.
- But if you think about it, if I'm good to her,
she'd be good to me, so.
I don't think I have any disappointments.
- Look at what he's saying.
Do you have any future dreams, or any issues?
- I just wish Ga-eul would grow up healthy and well, and for my husband,
I hope he keeps his health, since we're starting to get old now.
His health is my priority...
- So, we're a family of three right now, but I wish Ga-eul can have a baby brother or sister
- How about three more so you can name them all four seasons.
- That's what we hope, but it's proving to be difficult than we thought.
So that's...
- It'll all be alright.
- What's your dream?
- I wanted to be a singer.
- A singer? - Yes.
- That's really cool.
I can sing.
- Yes, she can sing.
She sang in a TV series too.
Let's hear it now. She's really good.
- Please close your eyes.
- You have to hear it.
- Let's go.
I don't want to brush my teeth~.
- Oh, what a beautiful voice. - I don't want to wash my face,
I don't want to wash~.
I'm not washing~.
Let me tell you a secret~.
I didn't shower yesterday~.
I'm going to sing~.
All day of singing, and I still can't get enough~.
- Yes, sing, sing.
Of all the celebrities,
you're the only one worse than I am.
- But your voice is lovely.
- The song's actually a good song.
Can you show us?
- No, I'm... - Just one part.
- One song you like.
- I forgot a lot while raising the baby.
Children's song.
- The shark family.
- Yes, that's one. - Shark family?
- It goes like, Shark, turu-turu-do.
- Family, turu-turu-do.
Shark, turu-turu-do?
- What is that?
- It was really popular, right?
- Yes, Gun still really likes it.
- There's the shark. - The shark is here.
What is it? - He's here.
He's here. - Here, here.
- Look at him smile.
- Shark, turu-turu-do~.
- Oh, you like it.
- Baby shark~.
- Which shark, turu-turu-do~.
- Under the sea, turu-turu-do, mommy shark
Grandpa shark, turu-turu-do~.
Under the sea, turu-turu-do.
- Shark family~.
I am, turu-turu-do.
- 4, 5 more times and he'll go to bed.
Yes, a round of applause.
Yay, let's go.
- Let's go. - He loves it.
- One more time?
- One more time. - Hi-five.
- So I bought these as presents for you today.
- Thank you. Thank you so much.
- It's a small one.
- Together like this. - Yes.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much. - Please thing of me and Kyung-kyu.
- (Narration) The perfect gift from the dinner buddy for the fan of the show.
- This one's a clean, new one, but it's too wrinkly.
- No, it's fine.
- You have to wear this. - Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
Wearing the apron too.
- (Narration) Unused to the scene of an actress doing the dishes.
- Thank you.
-(Narration) She makes sure Su-kyung's hands are okay.
- Ma'am, look at him.
He's doing the dishes.
- (Narration) With Goblin's nephew doing the dishes
Yeong-yang mom took a picture.
- It's cool, right.
Even more so than other pictures.
- Ma'am this way.
- A big family photo.
- Oh, no.
- We're like family now.
- Can you turn on, turu-turu.
- Turu-turu-do~.
- Let's do it.
- You should hold it from behind...
- Hey, Gun.
We can go to Seoul only if you cooperate.
Just one picture please.
Let's stand up.
- (Narration) The best ever for Gun is undoubtedly, Shark, turu-turu-do.
- Hey, Ga-eul. Look over here.
Hey, Ga-eul.
- Smile. - Smile.
- One, two, three.
- (Narration) Se-jong city, the best in the world,
the warmest dinner sharing homes 41, and 42 was born.
- Hi. - Hi.
Kyung-kyu and Su-kyung of Let's Eat Dinner Together,
it was so nice to meet you two.
And we'd like to thank everyone who came here for the program
for helping us create such nice memories.
- We love you, Let's Eat Dinner Together.
- Go, Mr. Ho-dong.
- I think now's the prettiest time of Korea.
The show broadcasts on May 11th, so it's a new era.
- Hey who are these.
- Celebrities, most definitely.
- Move over.
- Hello.
- Majang-dong?
Beef.
- There's a connection.
My Chinese zodiac sign is horse. - I'm a cow.
- Majang-dong, then.
Do you think you're pretty, too?
- Not bad, I guess.
- The meat looks so good.
I didn't bring my wallet.
- Oh, the smell.
- These are US beef.
My lips have dried.
It's a tough show.
- Hello.
Did you have dinner yet?
There's no one answering.
- Hi.
I'm Yoon-ah. - Sorry?
- Yoon-ah from Girl's Generation?
- Who is this?
- Hi, I'm Yoon-ah.
- Wow. - That was really good.
- I am in love with your energy today, Sung-jae.
- Ho-dong, I really feel healed and energized today.
A home cooked meal in such a long time.
- Not just the food, but the energy too, right?
Isn't it? Right?
- It was really nice.
We were very lucky.
We had fun, right?
- Yes, we did.
- Let's go.
- (Narration) The best in the world must be love.
Would you have dinner with the ones you love?
