(This program is about 2 MCs)
(who are praised and survived)
(in a jungle of variety shows.)
(This is a documentary about these two)
(going on a trip to find dinner.)
We're on the top of Mt. Yongma.
Mt. Yongma and Mt. Acha re connected.
(They met at Mt. Yongma today.)
This place is surrounded by mountains.
The air is so fresh here.
It tastes different.
Mt. Yongma is the highest peak
of Mt. Acha.
The legend says that a dragon
went to the peak
which looks like a saddle
to go to the heaven.
The air is so fresh.
Mt. Yongma...
Suddenly, two people mysteriously came out
from the middle of smoke.
(Not a fire.)
(Kyu-dong were hiking down.)
Let's sit down.
What's that?
Is it because we're in Mt. Acha?
(Acha means oops.)
Why did they come out like that?
They're our guests.
What's up with the smoke?
(Safe smoke for filming was used.)
Was Mt. Acha a part
of the Goguryeo?
(A Korean kingdom.)
A lot of Goguryeo's artifacts
were found here.
In Junggokdong?
Yes.
This used to be a battleground
between Goguryeo and Silla.
When this place was excavated,
a lot of artifacts were found.
Is that Pyeonggang Falls?
(The guests are getting smoked...)
Princess Pyeonggang
and general Ondal?
So this was the place of the legend.
So that's Princess Pyeonggang.
Pyeonggang...
And General Ondal.
Is that why they're wearing that
in this cold?
So they're supposed to be
Princess Pyeonggang
and General Ondal?
(A pretty tough princess...)
Didn't the person on the left
come to our show before?
Really?
She has!
What if I don't recognize her?
(That's possible.)
You have to know she is!
You have to say her name
as soon as she turns around.
Please turn around.
One, two, three!
(Hello.)
Who is she?
What's her name?
SNSD.
What's her name?
SNSD's who?
Yu-ri?
Nope!
Yu-Ra?
Nope!
How dare you!
I'm leaving.
No!
Where did you see her before?
(Tries to remember...)
We saw her on the street...
Chungdamdong!
She was in her car
with her mother.
Hi!
(She saw Kyu-dong first.)
Hi!
Thank you for saying hello!
(They even talked to each other...)
That counted as her appearance?
I did make an appearance.
But it was a just for a brief moment.
She's independent now.
Seo-hyun!
Hi!
She's a lady now, not a girl.
And successfully went as a solo.
Recently started acting,
and won the best new actress award
in a new chapter of her life.
Seo-hyun.
Seo-hyun!
(Princess Pyeonggang is our guest today.)
Let's go.
That's enough.
(What about me...)
That guest...
Is a thief...
He steals women's hearts.
Best in Korea.
So he's like a delicious meal?
Mr. Thief!
Mr. Guest!
(Who's the second guest?)
Who is he?
He's an actor.
(Doesn't know his name.)
(It'd be more strange)
(if Kyung-Kyu knew him.)
Mr. Kim.
What?
There are so many Kims!
(Very confused by Kyung-Kyu.)
Ji Hyun-woo.
Ji Hyun-woo!
(Today's second guest...)
(Ji Hyun-woo.)
Started as a member
of the band, The Nuts,
he started to steal women's hearts
by his good looks and a sweet voice.
Now, he even steals men's hearts
by touching people's hearts
with acting.
Ji Hyun-woo, Prince Ondal.
I haven't seen you in a long time!
10 years ago?
Yes.
It's been 10 years...
Hyun-woo is known as an actor now...
But he started out as a singer.
His family are all musicians.
Your parents too right?
My brother as well.
Classic?
No, he's in Next.
Next?
He plays the keyboard.
For the band?
Yes.
What's Next?
It's Shin hae-cheol's band.
He finally knows something.
She must be angry at me.
Of course she is!
(Obviously...)
Instead of saying her name immediately,
circling around like this
will help people remember her name.
(Kyung-kyu's big picture...)
She recently went solo.
Yup.
She left SNSD.
I didn't leave!
You guys are still together?
She should've...
Left earlier.
She should've left earlier.
Leave where?
From SNSD.
I didn't leave!
How do you know each other?
I thought it was so random!
We're in JTBC.
But they were in a drama together
for a different station.
(Played a couple in Bad Thief Good Thief.)
(Seo-hyun and Hyun-woo filled)
(the country with pink romance.)
That's why they came here together.
That drama is over?
Yes!
Why?
We're not here to promote.
You can't.
Are they here to promote
their relationship?
Maybe...
Anyways, welcome!
Welcome.
This cold is making him sniff
and that makes him look like stupid Ondal.
The classic Ondal.
Seo-hyun really looks like
Princess Pyeonggang.
Thank you.
She looks like a reincarnation
of Princess Pyeonggang.
(Tries to suck up...)
He's trying to make up for what he did.
This isn't it for Seo-hyun.
We have to see her crazy dance.
Shake It by Sistar.
She was in Sistar?
I'm in SNSD!
I sincerely apologize...
(His joke didn't do a good job)
(of being funny...)
Since it's so cold...
Let's try to heat up.
(Let's go Seo-hyun!)
(Reacts to the song immediately.)
Everyone!
My hat's falling off!
(Can't see her wave because)
(of her coat.)
Kyung-Kyu, get in there!
Kyung-Kyu!
Shake it!
(Everyone's in a trance.)
Everyone!
Oops...
(Ondal's excited.)
Finished!
(Good job.)
(A huge success!)
We should call her active Seo-hyun.
I didn't know she'd turn out like this.
She used to be very passive.
She improved a lot.
(What?)
(This is how Kyung-Kyu compliments...)
Thank you.
She used to be very shy.
Before I started working with her
for 6 months,
I thought she'd be a bit cold
as a SNSD member.
But...
I realized why a lot of people love her.
Why?
She's just loveable.
(What's going on here...?)
She's polite.
Is that why you love her?
(Totally got caught off guard.)
Working with her was a lot of fun.
Let's go.
I'm freezing.
(Too cold to stand around.)
Hyun-woo, why don't you read
today's mission for us?
Like Ondal!
Try to imitate Ondal since
this is a variety show.
Like Ondal.
Have dinner in Junggokdong.
Where are we going today
Seoul, Kwangjingu, Junggokdong.
It gets its name because
it's between Neungdong and Myeonmokdong.
With Mt. Yongma and Mt. Acha at the back
and Han River to the front,
the city has a perfect feng shui.
With Line 5 and 7 subway lines passing,
not only is it a transportation hub,
it boasts great schools
such as Daewon Foreign School.
There's a sad legend in this mountain...
Princess Pyeonggang
made Ondal a war hero for Goguryo.
He was killed in action in a battle
against Silla.
But his casket didn't move.
He died too prematurely.
So Pyeonggang had to touch the casket
and say,
let's go back to where you're from.
Then the casket finally moved.
Junggokdong is where the love story
between Ondal and Pyeonggang happened.
Can they find a meal here?
Let's Have Dinner Together episode 65.
People who give happiness.
I heard there are a lot of houses
at the foot of Mt. Acha.
Do you guys have hot packs?
(Tries to give one to Kyu-dong.)
I don't need one.
(Refuses to get one.)
We work better when we're cold.
We don't lose against the cold.
But just having one makes you so warm...
Just use one.
I already have two.
(Completely prepared.)
It's so warm.
Hyun-woo, do you have a girlfriend?
No.
But he looks so settled down.
You look comfortable.
You're smiling a lot too.
(He can still smile without one...)
Seo-hyun should know.
You guys worked together
for 6 months.
Does he have a girlfriend?
I have no idea...
But he's a great person!
3 things why he's a great person.
1st.
He's a thoughtful person.
Thoughtful...
2nd?
He helped me a lot with acting.
And?
He's humble.
Did you like him?
Of course.
(Seo-hyun likes Hyun-woo...)
You like him?
A lot?
(Things are heating up...)
Of course I did!
Don't people date a lot after
working together?
More people don't.
What?
More people don't.
Some people hate each other.
I don't hate him.
Some people can't stand each other.
But they're so pretty and handsome!
They're both nice and have
great smiles.
Didn't a lot of people tell you
that you guys look great together?
She's too good for him!
(Endless compliments for Seo-hyun...)
It's because he didn't recognize you
before.
She's too good for him.
He keeps on complimenting me.
Do we get on the bus here?
Seo-hyun doesn't have a boyfriend either?
Not officially anyways...
Stop!
(Look at her.)
That made you angry?
You keep asking the same thing!
Then what else can I ask?
Your phone number?
Do you want it?
(Amazing...)
We're...
Not a gossip show.
I think it's rude to ask those questions.
(Kyung-Kyu protects the guests.)
So are you dating or not?
Be honest.
I'm not.
The bus is here!
I can't ask you more than twice?
It's boring.
The bus heads to the residential area
while Ho-dong shoots Match Made in Heaven.
3 reasons why you like Seo-hyun.
What's wrong with you?
He's on a roll today!
She's very polite.
You love her because she's polite?
She's really smart.
You love her because she's smart?
Why is he keep saying that?
The last one?
She has pretty eyes.
I saw her eyes a lot
for the last 6 months.
Her eyes...
Show that's she's so pure...
You're in love with her eyes?
(Pretty...)
(Innocent.)
(Can't look into her eyes?)
She has actress's eyes.
(Happy to hear his compliments.)
Why did you go solo?
SNSD's been on for 10 years.
We talked a lot about...
What we wanted to do individually.
There are things we can do together...
What did you want to do?
I...
Wanted to be more independent.
I tried really hard as a celebrity
for the last 10 years.
But not so much as Seo Ju-hyun...
A lot of things came to me...
As I'm nearing 30 as well.
I wanted to find what I really want
and look back on my life.
(Finally arrived to their destination.)
The first sight they saw
as soon as they got off the bus...
(A cute little painting welcomes them.)
This is Gingorant Art Street.
Really?
Kim Gu-Ra Art Street?
Gingorang.
Gingorang!
Look at the walls.
There are paintings.
If you walk along this street...
Cut paintings on the walls
will take you back to your childhood.
How romantic.
Let him pass.
Go ahead.
I can't walk fast...
Take your time!
Do you like the paintings on the walls?
I didn't recognize you!
I watch TV all the time!
When was this Art Street created?
It's been a long time.
This whole place was a stream.
And now it's all developed.
So gorang meant a stream?
Gingorang means...
A long stream.
I see!
This street used to be a stream!
Water flowed through here!
Thank you.
We learned because of you!
(Gingorang's Seol Min-seok.)
We'll get going then.
If you go down there...
There's Gingorang Cafe.
My son owns it...
(Stopped immediately.)
(Surprise promotion.)
(That was natural...!)
I learned a lot.
History lesson on the street.
Located on the foot of Mt. Acha,
this area was only slowly developed.
People started drawing paintings
on walls of old houses
and was able to reborn
as the art street.
I bet he's from here.
Real estate!
Let's go inside.
Hi!
Ma'am!
We're from Let's Have Dinner Together.
Hello.
Where are we right now?
So that's Neungdong.
That's Mt. Acha.
This is Junggok 4.
That's where we are.
What type of residents does it have?
There used to be a lot of houses.
Used to be?
There are a lot of apartments now.
How old are the people?
For Junggok 4.
There used to be a lot of old people.
But a lot of younger people moved in
to new apartments.
So a lot of newly weds?
A lot!
Daewon Foreign School!
A lot of golfers came from there.
There are so many famous golfers
from that school.
(6 schools in this small town.)
Didn't a lot of artifacts from Goguryo
come out from Junggokdong?
From Mt. Acha.
(Part of Baekjae in 4th century.)
A battle ground of three kingdoms
fighting over the Han River.
Mt. Acha was an important
strategic point.
Contained most Goguryo's artifacts
in South Korea.
It's declared as
a national historic monument.
You didn't ask the official question.
Per square feet?
He knows everything.
How much per square feet?
$20,000 to $30,000.
30,000...
Do you think...
We'll be able to get a meal today?
People here are generally nice.
I think you'll be fine.
How many percent?
100%.
On that positive note,
they get on their way to search for houses
in Goguryo's old battleground.
I know I may be old...
But I really think you guys
destined to be together.
Why are you saying that again?
Both of your families
are related to music.
Really?
My mom...
Majored in a flute and a piano.
Your mom plays the flute?
Yes.
Like this?
Look at his hands!
(Dancing fingers.)
What else?
She used to teach piano.
She used to teach?
This too?
So music came to you naturally.
Piano did.
She grew up with melodies.
My parents owned a record store.
Really?
So he was close to music too.
He did this.
(A guitar!)
Can you play the cello?
(Cello?)
(Of course.)
How about the violin?
(A mime expert.)
They all use hands.
(Kyung-Kyu is turning into a musician.)
Do you still have a lot of LPs?
They kept it and...
Sold it during IMF.
Really?
IMF hit you hard?
Yes.
How about your mom?
It was tough for everyone...
That's destiny.
No one did well during IMF!
You're trying too hard...
You guys both come from music.
That's destiny.
Let's talk about something else.
This is boring!
Did you know she was addicted to books?
Can you recommend anything?
I read a book by Noh Hee-kyung.
What's it called?
Everyone Not In Love, Guilty.
It was really good.
Are you guilty or innocent?
I knew it.
(Angry.)
How could the title be...
You're so annoying!
I'm so annoyed!
Just tell him you guys are dating.
Then he won't bother you.
But we're not!
I'm tired of this!
He won't bother us anymore.
As we're walking...
How and when do we stop to...
None of your business.
You don't need to worry about that!
(Now he annoyed Kyung-Kyu.)
Just do what we tell you to do.
(Hilarious.)
(Funny, annoyed.)
We'll tell you what to do.
There's a reason why
they've been doing this for a long time.
You guys only seem different...
(Arrived at the crossing.)
This could easily be a scene
of a drama based on the past.
I know!
Look at that store!
It could be on Reply series.
Passed the street that lasted
for a long time...
They're all...
You can find a new face of the city.
A city of new apartments.
Because this place
is surrounded by mountains,
it's a bit high up.
Of course.
It's definitely colder.
Now that's the best architecture.
Look at that bird nest.
Best architecture made by an animal.
Imagine how many times that bird...
(Let's go...)
No rain or wind...
Can break it.
You don't have to talk.
Don't feel pressure.
We can just walk around.
Air must be so fresh here.
If you open the window,
the wind will flow straight
from the mountains.
Do you live in a house?
Yes.
So you have trees?
Yes.
What kind?
A quince tree.
Quince?
Do you know what quince means?
You know Korean melon?
It means hanging Korean melon.
Another lesson.
That's how much I love trees.
Seo-hyun.
Why did you wink?
What kind of a tree do you have?
I don't have any trees.
You said you like trees...
After all that talk...
You should get a tree.
You're right.
You talk about trees all the time!
For the birds.
Do something for the birds!
Seo-hyun, I think...
He's not the right one.
His eyes look nice.
But he's cruel.
He's scary.
He's very straightforward.
I emphasize trees because...
I have my own emotional quotient
checklist.
One of the question out of ten was
have you talked to a tree?
That's a part of my list.
It's a very...
Have you talked to yourself?
(Confused...)
That's a tough question.
I talked to myself before...
I just murmur to myself.
Tired? No, I'm fine.
I talk to myself a lot...
By yourself?
Yes.
When I climbed Mt. Halla...
My family was having a hard time...
I talked to myself a lot on the way down.
(Ran away...)
I kept telling myself that I can do it.
(Talking too much.)
(I need to watch out for him.)
It helped me a lot.
How nice...
The important thing is...
We have to decide on our teams now.
Raise your hand if you want to
be with me.
(Suddenly loss for words.)
Pick me if you want to be in my team!
(Silence...)
Can I do it alone?
(Joking.)
Let's pick teams.
Let's just do this.
I'll let destiny decide.
Just go with the flow.
One, two, three!
(Ho-dong and Seo-hyun.)
(Kyung-Kyu and Hyun-woo.)
(Not pleased...)
I really wanted to be on his team.
(Kyung-kyu's prey for the day.)
Did you get in trouble a lot as a kid?
(Nervous...)
What's wrong with you!
Did you ever get criticized?
(What will happen to Ondal...?)
In Junggokdong.
Let's Have Dinner Together!
This way.
Time to get a meal with a teammate
chosen by destiny.
A lot of the lights are off...
What happened?
(Very dark...)
Where did they go?
I like this house.
(Found a house with lights on!)
Ladies first!
(Seo-hyun tries first!)
Just say, hi my name is Seo-hyun.
Let's go.
(Seo-hyun's first attempt!)
Good.
There's a camera.
The gate opened.
Hello.
Someone's coming!
Excuse me.
Hello.
I'm Seo-hyun from SNSD.
Do you know who I am?
Yes!
Nice to meet you.
We're from JTBC's variety show.
It's about having a meal together
and talking about all sorts of things.
Did you...
Eat yet?
Not yet...
Really?
But no one's home right now...
Are you a student?
No, I work...
Where did everyone go?
They went to a memorial at my uncles...
So you're alone right now?
Then is it okay if we eat with you?
I have to go as well...
He has to go...
You have to go...?
(Thank goodness.)
No...
He has to go!
We just started...
For me to try to change anything...
I think that's pushing it.
We can't stop him from going
to the memorial service.
Our rule says...
It has to be someone who was
going to eat at home.
We can't get in the way of the plan.
We can't stop someone
from going out if that was
the original plan.
We have rules...
Where's the service?
Mangwoodong.
You have to go?
When did you have to go?
(She's looking at me...)
When did you have to go?
I don't think I have to go.
He said he doesn't have to go!
You were planning to go
but decided not to because of Seo-hyun.
We have the service every year.
But she won't...
He said service happens every year.
But she won't come back again.
(Wisdom.)
Once she leaves, she won't come back.
But the rule...
(Disappointed...)
We can't hold him from going to
the memorial service.
Why don't you shake his hand instead?
Okay.
Thank you.
Happy new year!
Thank you!
You gave us a new quote today!
Memorial service comes back
but Seo-hyun doesn't.
Thank you!
(Not a bad start!)
That was a good start!
It was a good warm up.
Memorial service comes back...
But Seo-hyun does not.
First quote of 2018 was born!
Hyun-woo!
Mr. Ji!
(Hyun-woo's first attempt!)
It's really cold.
(Carefully ring's the bell!)
That's a new bell.
Someone picked up!
Hello?
Everyone's opening up for us!
People open up first.
Hi!
Actor!
Did you eat yet?
I just came home.
Introduce yourself first!
Give me a minute.
(He can't even talk now...)
You didn't introduce yourself...
You can't ask her if she ate like that!
(Silenced...)
You need to introduce yourself first!
Did you eat yet?
Where did that come from?
(A lady heard the news and came outside.)
Hi!
Say hello!
(But she went inside again.)
Tell her who you are!
You need to talk about yourself!
(Couldn't say anything again...)
Say you're an actor!
Tell her what we're doing!
Hi!
(She came outside again.)
Say something!
Hi!
Hello.
Do you know him?
Yes!
Seo-hyun!
Hi!
You seem really healthy...
You're wearing a t-shirt...
My clothes and my hair...
Listen to what he has to say.
I watch this show all the time!
My kids love this show.
(Still can't say anything.)
Do you know who this is?
Of course!
I watched...
Tell her your dramas!
Old Miss Diary?
Yes!
I love that drama.
Tell her your name!
I know his name.
Ji Woo-hyun.
Ji...
Woo-hyun.
I'm sorry!
Ji Hyun-woo!
You sounded too confident.
Tell her your name!
It's Ji Hyun-woo.
(I know.)
I'm Lee Kyung-Kyu.
We're in a team!
You didn't eat yet?
We were just getting ready!
(Perfect timing!)
What were you going to have?
Fried beltfish...
And?
Fried tofu with eggs...
Eating together makes people a family.
Would you be their family today?
(Why did you ask?)
The thing is...
We have elders here too...
You should go talk to them!
My parents Ar here.
Okay.
Give me a minute.
We can't eat here if even one person
is uncomfortable with it.
It's okay if your parents
aren't comfortable with it.
Okay.
No pressure!
(Goes inside to talk to her family.)
Our shoot last for a long time...
She talked more than Hyun-woo!
Why aren't you saying anything!
You didn't do anything
beside ringing the bell!
Introduce yourself.
That's why we called you.
You're tall enough to look over.
I told you you'd be criticized a lot today.
He's in a big trouble.
It's all your fault.
She's taking a while...
It doesn't feel good...
Everyone's so nice here!
They're having a meeting right now.
It's taking a while.
Grandpa is saying...
No.
(Is that why it's taking so long?)
(She came out again!)
Success or failure?
The front gate opens again!
But will it close?
What did your parents say?
Talk to her...
Say something!
Is anyone uncomfortable with us?
Will she make Hyun-woo today's hero?
Is anyone uncomfortable with us?
Hyun-woo's first attempt.
What's her answer?
No, everyone said okay!
We can go inside?
Yes!
We can eat with you today?
Yes!
I'm so jealous!
My lucky charm!
Nice!
You just scolded him!
Why would I?
Was this your first house?
Really?
I love Junggokdong!
When we went to see a real estate agent,
she said we'll succeed 100%
because everyone's so nice here.
People in Junggokdong are nice.
Have fun...
Enjoy your meal.
I'm so jealous.
Can I shake her hand?
Of course!
I loved Moon Lovers.
Really?
Thank you.
Happy new year.
You too.
You too Ho-dong.
Bye!
The time...
(One more handshake...)
(Ended early today.)
(Super jealous...)
We're going in!
Umm...
He talks so much!
She's going to catch a cold!
Go.
Happy new year!
(A real good bye.)
Enjoy!
See you next week!
I hope you succeed soon.
Have fun!
(Closes the door...)
Seo-hyun, staff still has to go in...
(Hurries inside...)
They need to go inside as well.
Why did you close the door?
Let's go...
Hi!
Welcome.
With Hyun-woo, the lucky charm,
they go into a nice family in Junggokdong.
(Excuse me.)
Nice to meet you.
(The family gives a warm welcome.)
Who's home right now?
My son's a senior.
So he's studying right now.
My daughter...
Your husband?
He's getting ready to go get a haircut.
He's leaving?
He's getting a haircut first.
We have a huge family.
What will happen in a house
that is full of love?
Hi.
I'm Lee Kyung-Kyu.
My name is Ji Hyun-woo.
He's an actor.
Where are you going?
To get a haircut...
(Kyung-Kyu forgot everything.)
How about dinner?
I'll be back soon.
We'll be waiting.
(Sits down.0
Okay...
Why don't you introduce us?
This is big grandma...
There's little grandma too.
Aunt and uncle live upstairs...
With my cousins.
What?
Who just left?
Uncle.
Where's your dad?
My dad went home.
You don't live here?
He lives in Osan!
(Hyun-woo has no idea what's going on.)
So he lives in Osan...
Then...
How about your sister?
My cousin!
(She came down!)
Can you explain it to us again?
It's a bit complicated...
Grandma and her sister lives here.
Paternal grandmother?
Yes.
And her sisters...
I'm grandma's...
Oldest son's second daughter.
The one who went to get a haircut?
Yes, that's my dad.
I have an older brother
who'll be a senior...
What's he doing now?
He has to go to a tutor.
He's doing homework right now.
Homework...
Who's that person in the picture?
That's when my brother was a kid.
Not him?
Not him...
I didn't exist back then.
You're not here?
So that one in the middle...
Is your brother?
Yes.
And that baby...
Is me!
Then that's your father.
Your grandma and her sister.
That's your father?
Yes.
That photo helped a lot.
What's your name?
He's Jung Hyun-Jo.
Hyun-Jo.
I'm Jung Hye-sung.
Hye-sung?
What school do you go to?
Yonggok Jr. High.
What grade are you in?
I'll be in 9th grade.
Your brother's a senior?
Yes.
Now?
Does he get good grades?
He was on a quiz program in EBS.
We should quiz him.
Living with a big family looks fun.
While preparing dinner for a big family,
she had to prepare for two more people.
She cuts delicious kimchi...
Colorful paprika...
With various soups and fried tofu
are ready for big family's dinner table.
Do you need any help?
No, it's okay.
Kimchi!
(Looks delicious.)
Did you make it this year?
Yup!
Look at its color!
My mother in law went to Sore
and bought fresh shrimps
and made kimchi with it.
Without using MSG?
Yes.
People normally eat at tables.
Is there a reason why you guys don't?
The biggest table maybe fit 6 people.
But if we all want to eat together...
That's not big enough!
So we use those instead.
When I was young, everyone used that.
(Reminds him of his younger days.)
One big one and one small one?
Exactly.
Adults got one on their own.
Isn't cooking for a big family tiring?
To be honest...
I own my business.
I own...
A small cafe.
Normally, we eat breakfast together
and I go to my store.
Then she cooks lunch and dinner.
Then how about today?
To be honest...
Today's our wedding anniversary.
(Congratulations.)
That's why he went to get a haircut!
Yes!
We're going out after dinner.
Amazing.
Entire country will know about it now...
(Shy.)
Are you going to a movie?
How did you know?
Nice!
I like watching movies.
I brought a guitar...
Because I wanted to do something
for getting dinner...
(Wow.)
Then today ended up
being their anniversary!
What a great coincidence!
Did you know?
What a perfect timing.
She speeds up as she has to go out soon.
Boiled broccoli...
Meets cut paprika
and turned into a colorful salad.
What are you doing with that?
I'm going to season it.
I heard this is really good during winters.
Healthy pohangcho is slightly parboiled
and seasoned with a bit of sesame oil.
It's complete after mixing it up!
Is your cafe close by?
In front of my kid's school.
It's a small cafe in front
of the elementary school.
Do a lot of kids go to your cafe
after school?
Yes.
I opened my cafe there because
it's close to our house
and I could look over my kids.
I was like that when I was young.
My grandma raised me.
And my parents' store was 5 minutes away.
What does your husband do?
He works in distribution.
Does he normally rest on weekdays?
Or is it for your anniversary?
He gets more days off during weekdays
because of his job.
So he rests on weekdays.
Is it normally on Wednesday?
Normally on Tuesday.
But he moved it to today...
So today's...
Your parents' anniversary?
Yes.
You knew?
Of course!
I've been preparing for this for
a few days now.
Our whole family's good with
keeping these special dates!
So as soon as December hit,
my brother and I have been planning
a lot for today.
With your brother?
Yes.
He just gives me money
when I tell him what I wanted to do.
What did you buy?
It's still a secret...
Still?
(She didn't give it yet!)
Aren't they going to a movie?
I know.
You can give it when they leave.
I will.
I want to know what you got.
I want our cameras to get your present.
It'll look good on TV.
How's...
Living with a big family?
Good!
Someone's home whenever I come back.
Being home alone would be scary.
But that rarely happens!
It's always crowded.
I get scared...
You're still young!
My family has 3 people...
That's right!
It's just him and his parents.
Is that why you come over a lot?
Yup!
He never wants to leave here!
There are a lot of people he can
play with here.
No one says anything
when he plays games here.
That's because my parents aren't here.
They'll watch this and never send you here.
Damn it...
(Biggest crisis in 9 years!)
Is food better here or at your house?
Here...
(Hyun-Jo took the bait.)
What are you gonna do
if your parents watch this!
With fried beltfish,
Hyun-jo's aunt's dinner is almost done...
(Neat.)
3 soups for a big family are ready too.
Hyun-woo helps by serving rice.
Then some more...
After a while...
(Finally...)
(Rice cooker is empty!)
Today's meal is getting ready as well.
I'll get the table!
I'll take it.
And with additional family,
a new table comes out.
(Perplexed.)
(Huge...)
Your neighbor...
They're having a memorial.
I feel like there's a memorial service being held here.
It's been a while since I've seen this kind of dinner table.
- Did you cut your hair? - Yes.
(Everyone is working together to set the table.)
Have you ever eaten dinner with such a big family on this show?
There was a family of four generations in Jeongneung-dong.
The son got married at the age of 20.
(The miracle of a large family made at the age of 20!)
- Dae-sung said he's not going to eat. - He's not?
Yeah.
I should go see him then. I'll just go say hi.
Son.
- Hello. - Aren't you going to eat? This is actor Ji Hyun-woo.
- Hello. What's your name? - Jung Dae-sung.
- I heard you went out on EBS's "Janghak Quiz."
They came to film at my school.
- Why aren't you eating? - I usually don't eat when I don't have an appetite.
Should I bring you some dinner?
- It's fine. - It is?
- Yes. - It's okay if you don't appear on the show?
Yes.
- Are you studying? - Yes.
Is there something you want to do?
I like sports, so I'm thinking of doing something
related to that, like sports management.
- Okay, then good luck. - Thank you.
It says "passionately studying" here.
- Good luck studying! - Come down if you're hungry.
I will.
Look at these photos.
Tell us about these photos. Your parents are there.
My parents took this photo when they went on a trip.
These two photos are of my father's mother.
- These are old photos. - Yes, this is my dad, and this is my uncle.
I don't know who is who.
- I think that's my dad and that's my uncle. - You're right. He's younger.
- According to the age... - That's your dad, right?
(If you go up the stairs to the 2nd floor...the walls are filled with photos.)
Grandfathers, grandmothers, and the youth and time of their parents...
This is a precious place where the memories and
stories of the three-generation household are.
I need to take a proof shot.
- There's so much food. - The table is too tiny.
This is the abundant dinner of a large family in Junggok-dong.
This is a huge dinner filled with sincerity and love
that will satisfy the family's appetite and health.
"Dinner Theater." Ready. Action.
I grilled cutlassfish, so enjoy.
Eat a lot, Hyun-Jo.
- What about me? - You eat a lot, too.
Where did you eat lunch, mother?
- Me? - Yes.
I had octopus soup.
Did you go far?
(Embarrassed/Shy)
She's trying to speak as little as possible.
(Hyun-jo's weighty fact check)
(The grandmother is shy because she's in front of the camera.)
Why isn't Dae-sung coming?
He said he's not going to eat. He must have a lot to do.
Hyun-Jo, eat the spinach, too.
- Enjoy. - People are usually awkward when they have
to do this if there aren't many family members,
but since you have a big family, it was very natural.
Thank you for the food!
Does the family eat together like this every night?
My son comes home from work late, so we usually eat by ourselves.
- I heard it was your wedding anniversary today. - Yes.
I heard you take care of it more than your wife does.
That's the key to aging if you don't want to get kicked out of the house.
- Aren't the men supposed to take care of wedding anniversaries? - Yes.
The kimchi is delicious.
Even during birthdays, our family...
Kyung-kyu, the cabbage thief, is focusing on the cabbage today.
- You must not use any MSG. - I don't.
- It's good, right? - Yes.
Hyun-woo, the thief of home-made food, enjoys a variety of Ms. Ha's side dishes.
Don't eat like that.
This is a happy dinner with endless laughter of an extended family in Junggok-dong.
(Amicable)
My kids would always watch this show and ask me,
"What will you do if they came to our neighborhood and rang our doorbell?"
I told them, "What else can I do? How can I stop
guests from coming home? I'll have to invite them in."
My mother-in-law always tells me not to turn down guests who come to our home.
We never just send them away.
I never knew you had such a big family.
Your family members appeared from everywhere.
- We always have a lot of people at home. - Yes.
There were only a couple times when we were able to
come into the first house we rang the doorbell at.
- We felt uneasy while watching you guys. - We got in on one try.
I pitied you guys.
Last time, you guys bowed in front of the Lee clan ancestors.
- It happened weeks ago. - The episode of the Lee clan in Jeonju.
I was heartbroken after watching that.
We got in at 7:40 p.m.
- It was so cold that day. - Right.
I'm so happy tonight.
- There isn't much. - This is amazing.
Meanwhile, Ho-dong and Seo-hyun are traveling around the
darkness searching for another family in Junggok-dong.
Tell me if you want to drink something warm. I brought citrus tea.
You were holding onto it earlier.
Now that I see it, when you split the alley,
the right side has the old buildings
and the left side has the new ones.
- I think they built new villas. - You're right.
- Right? - Yes.
- Should we try this one? - Let's do it.
Take your time. All the lights are on.
- Who is it? - Hello!
I'm Seo-hyun of Girls' Generation.
- I just came home from work. - I see.
I have to go back out right now.
Really? All right. Happy New Year!
- Happy New Year. - Thank you.
She recognizes you right away.
We still have a lot of time left.
- This one! - This is an old house as well.
Here I go.
(Please let us make it this time...)
- It seems like no one is home. - Let's go. No one is home.
- That's too bad. - I don't feel any presence.
All the lights here are off.
- Should we try this one? - Sure.
- Even though it's the beginning, we can't be at ease. - You're right.
The doorbell sounds nice.
Good sound.
- Hello...? - Hello?
- They really open the gate. - Someone is coming out.
- Hello! - Talk to her.
Hello! I'm Seo-hyun of Girls' Generation.
We're filming a variety show right now.
It's for a JTBC variety show.
- Did you eat dinner yet? - Hello, ma'am! Do you recognize her?
I don't.
She's a great singer and actress who appears on TV.
She's a celebrity. She's a singer.
I'm Seo-hyun from Girls' Generation.
- Do you recognize me? - I know you.
We're from JTBC.
We're a program where we go into homes and eat
- dinner with families. - I watch it sometimes.
- I see. Do you know the title? - "One Meal?"
- "Let's Eat Dinner Together." - That's right!
- Did you eat dinner? - Not yet. I have to make it.
- I see. Who's home? - My husband.
- Your husband? - Yes.
You can go in and ask.
You know how they say people who eat together are family.
Well...
- You don't have to do it if you're flustered. - Yes, just be comfortable.
I didn't prepare anything special. What do I do?
- The food doesn't matter. - It's fine.
- Would you like to discuss it with your husband? - It's fine for you to do that.
- There are many people. - We're the only ones eating.
Discuss it with your husband.
- We'll be waiting, ma'am. - We'll be waiting.
The people here are very kind. They just open the gate.
Wow. I'm so grateful.
- It's cold. - It'd be fine if we could just avoid the wind.
- He said you can come in. - Thank you!
Thank you! Come on in.
- Pardon the intrusion. Hello! - Sir!
Go in first.
Team Princess Pyeonggang go into another warm dinner story in Junggok-dong.
- Wow! Hello! - Come on in.
This is the cozy home of an elderly couple that will
warmly melt the cold winds of Junggok-dong.
- Do you recognize her? - Yes. I don't know
her name though. I saw her on TV a few times.
I'm Seo-hyun, an actress and singer of a group called Girls' Generation.
- I heard your name before. - Girls' Generation is famous, right?
- I must have a lot of luck today. I get to see a pretty celebrity. - Oh, no.
- We're the lucky ones. - No, I'm the lucky one.
How long have you been living in this house?
It's been about 15 years.
- Where did you live before? - We used to rent a place.
- In which neighborhood? - Somewhere around here.
- In Junggok-dong? - We circle around this area.
- You worked hard and bought this house 15 years ago? - My wife bought it.
- Sorry? - My wife is the one who bought this house.
I can't do anything.
So she has the power in the house.
For the new family who came shivering from the cold,
Ms. Park sets warm rice in the cooker.
I'll take a look at your photos.
Ho-dong and Seo-hyun are admiring the photos of the couple's memories.
- How many years ago was this? - About five to six years ago.
- Was it just you two that went? - No, my son took us on a vacation.
- This is your son, right? - Yes, the one at the very end.
Oh, I see.
- The one in the center is my son-in-law. - I see.
- Those are my daughters. - Oh, your daughters.
- Are all three of them married now? - Except for my son.
- Oh, except for your son? - It'd be nice if he had someone like So-yi here.
- Thank you! - Her name is Seo-hyun.
Yes, Seo-hyun.
Do you have many grandchildren?
My youngest daughter has one kid and my oldest daughter has two kids.
- Two. - That's why there are many toys here.
When the three of them come over, it gets crazy.
(Adorable grandchildren who are the apple of his eye)
- How old are you? - 75.
- Were you born in 1947? - 1942.
You're not very good at calculating, but you're good at wrestling.
When you wrestled back in the days, you had bad manners though.
When you beat Lee Man-ki, you were like...
Kang Ho-dong lifted him up!
Kang Ho-dong has won against Lee Man-ki!
Kang Ho-dong is amazing!
Don't act like a know-it-all, you punk.
(Flustered/Feeling wronged)
I hated you a bit back then.
I was a fan of Lee Man-ki.
What did you despise so much about me?
During that time, the players didn't celebrate so strongly.
(Shocking ceremony of victory)
- It was annoying, right? - Right.
I used to love wrestling.
If you look back now, who was your favorite wrestler? Including me.
Lee Man-ki.
- Who is your second favorite? - Lee Jun-hee.
- I'm included in there as well. - My next favorite is Lee Bong-gul.
Who is your fourth favorite?
Probably you...
He's so honest!
(In other words, he just doesn't like Ho-dong.)
You know the entertainers who do variety shows? Who is your favorite MC?
Probably Yoo Jae-suk.
(I don't know if I'm laughing or crying...)
What about your second favorite?
There's a long way to go before I name you.
Mr. Kim quietly defeats the champion,
and Ms. Park, the influential person of this house, is busily preparing dinner.
Will they eat fermented bean paste stew?
She cuts up the ingredients with the years of experience she has.
With eye measurement, she adds the ingredients,
and kimchi fermented bean paste stew is created in a matter of minutes.
(Where is she going?)
The various kimchi she has in her secret storage comes out.
- This is 100% kimchi that has been prepared in the winter. - It is.
- It was frozen. - It's fermented kimchi.
The kimchi was made in fall.
This wasn't put in the fridge. It was just left outside.
- So it was made recently. - Yes.
- Really? - Yes.
Wow. This is amazing.
It looks like kimchi that was made five years ago that is served in restaurants.
Try it. I ripened it quickly so that we can eat it quickly.
- Try it. - You try it first.
Still, you're the guest today.
Thank you!
This is medicine.
- It's refreshing, isn't it? - It's so good!
- It's refreshing like Sprite, isn't it? - I want to eat ramen.
- It's so good. - It is?
- Yes. - It tastes even better because it ripened naturally.
- You have this in your home. - My father made that for me.
- This? - Yes.
I just hung it up there to look at it like I'm looking at my father.
- Your father personally made this for you. - Yes.
- Can I take it down? - Sure.
Back in the days, we used to use this as a punishment device on variety shows.
It's so old that it's so light.
- It dried up. - It's light because it dried up.
- This is amazing. - It's been around for about 50 years.
What's this?
It's a rice cake steamer.
You know how there are holes in here? It's to make sure the powder doesn't go through.
My father made this as well.
This is really valuable. It's been around for 50 years.
- You'll see this and think of your father, right? - Right.
- That's why I'm not throwing it away. - Right.
This is priceless to her. She wouldn't trade anything for this.
- Should I help you with the eggs? - No, it's fine.
While the eggs that will serve as protein in a
dinner filled with vegetables is being cooked...
The rice is all done.
I'll put them in the bowls.
It looks really good.
Seo-hyun helps Ms. Park and prettily puts rice in the bows.
With the addition of Ms. Park's kimchi fermented bean paste stew...
Please eat.
A healthy dinner has been abundantly prepared.
This is a delicious dinner in Junggok-dong with Seo-hyun.
This is a delicious and healthy dinner in Junggok-dong that will bring
a lost appetite right back made by a woman with good cooking skills.
Pretend we didn't come to your house.
You know the normal conversations you have with your wife over dinner?
You just need to do "Dinner Theater" for about a minute.
- Ready? - We don't really talk...
That's fine. Just act as you normally do.
Action!
Let's eat.
I put less fermented bean paste in it, so it's kind of bland.
Just keep that in mind.
It's okay though, right?
(No answer)
(A real dinner scenery with no MSG)
You never know what will happen.
Who knew celebrities would come to our house?
(Celebrities who came looking for a meal)
- Cut! - Thank you!
We're going to bear shame and enjoy ourselves.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
- Enjoy. - Please enjoy even if it's not good.
I'm eating kimchi and fermented bean stew together.
I didn't put a lot of fermented bean stew in it, so it's bland.
The rice is so good!
- What is this? - Korean lettuce kimchi.
- Yes.
It's my first time eating this.
It's delicious.
- This is the best. - It's dried seaweed that isn't seasoned.
Right.
This is her sauce.
You have to eat this in one bite.
It's so good.
This was made in fall.
This is a delicacy.
I think you're very good at cooking, Ms. Park. Everything is delicious.
- I'm glad you think so. - The kimchi is especially good.
- Let's eat. - "Let's eat."
Seo-hyun, who is totally head-over-heels for Ms. Park's kimchi,
eats various kinds of kimchi
and feels her warm affection in her mouth.
The kimchi is good, and so is the dried seaweed...
but Ho-dong is captivated by the deep taste of the fermented bean paste stew.
It's not cold.
Both quiet, curt Mr. Kim and shy, cute Ms. Park
are having a fun dinner that will fill both their hunger and hearts.
The kimchi is so good.
Aren't you at an age where you like things like pasta more?
But there are times when you need to eat kimchi.
When you eat pasta, you get tired of it, or it becomes too greasy.
But kimchi isn't like that.
- Nothing compares to home-made meals. - Right.
Thank you.
- I'm going to eat this. - Go ahead.
While Seo-hyun, who fell for the taste of kimchi, is enjoying her second bowl...
Your parents have a good relationship, don't they?
Yes. I never saw them fight before.
Even if they fight, they make up right away. They don't fight in front of us either.
How did you meet her?
I met her at work.
We're a work couple.
- In the company you're working for now? - No, at WalMart.
We have a lot of stories in the beginning.
- The transportation wasn't great, so I took her to and from work. - You did?
Yes, since I had a car.
Then our feelings built up. We fought a lot, but our affection grew.
- How long did you guys date before you got married? - Not long.
- About one year? - Were you his subordinate?
- We were both employees. - You guys worked in different areas.
We would fight in the store but be nice outside of work.
We clearly differentiated between work and personal life.
- No one knew. We dated secretly. - We fought a lot.
So the company didn't notice at first.
Can you control your emotions?
It doesn't matter since there's a difference.
But when we leave work, we're like, "How could you do that to me?"
Oh, so you guys joke around about how you argued earlier.
You guys fight at work and then apologize outside.
- That's how we did it. - He did distribution. What did you do?
I managed the cashiers,
and he managed the store.
So there were times we bumped into each other.
It's fascinating how you guys fought so much
at work but don't fight at all after marriage.
I think they fought so much that they found out what each other is like.
We found out how we shouldn't annoy each other.
Things about how you guys shouldn't trigger each other.
What made you decide to get married to her?
Marriage is...
Complicated, right?
It was very odd. I went to see her parents because it was the holidays.
My mother had told me to go see her parents since it was the holidays.
So I dropped by with a basket of fruits.
I just went to simply say hi,
but her parents thought I had come to ask for her hand in marriage.
So her family went crazy.
Her entire family was there.
They asked if I had come to ask for permission to get married, and I was surprised.
I didn't have a boyfriend for 29 years,
so my parents were shocked since he came to our house.
But you made him come to your house to greet them...
I actually had no idea he was coming that day.
All the elders were at my house, including my uncles.
- He just came without contacting you? - Yes.
He came with a basket of fruits. I was shocked.
We just suddenly got married.
So you guys got married without meaning to?
We didn't think that far.
We should've taken some time and seen things through.
I don't know if I'll get in trouble for saying this though.
After dating for a year, we got married within six months.
This might be a rude question,
but your husband must have told you that you have
to live with his mother when you get married.
I was really grateful about that.
That's what I told her at first. "I have a younger brother and mother.
We have to live with them. If you don't like that, I can't marry you."
I told her parents about that, and they said it was only natural.
That's what I really liked.
They were like, "Why are you asking such an obvious question?"
To be honest, I had such thoughts from a long time ago.
If I got married, my dream is to
live in a big house with both my parents and my parents-in-law.
Wow. Your daughter must be burdened.
(Hae-sung didn't hear the conversation.)
She must be burdened.
Hae-sung, have a seat. This is a serious issue.
(It's not time to eat fruits)
What's going on?
When you get married and your boyfriend says you
have to live with his parents, what will you do?
What do you think about that?
Well, I would consider it if I really love the man and I really want to get married.
But, because I'm young right now, I don't want to get married.
(Advanced blockade)
Even in an extended family, a time gap exists.
What about the first of this couple who got married before them?
It's been about 50 years since you guys met, right?
It hasn't been 50 years yet.
During the "Dinner Theater," you two didn't talk much.
Fifty years ago, when you guys dated, did you guys not talk much then either?
We didn't date. This was an arranged marriage.
- Who arranged it? - An acquaintance of mine.
- Then where do you meet on the first day? - At home.
- So she came to your house? - No, I went to her house.
- You went to her house? - Yes.
- Then you met her parents right then and there? - Yes.
Where were you guys living in Busan?
- Gamcheon-dong. - Gamcheon-dong?
- Did you guys see photos of each other beforehand? - No.
- You guys didn't know each other's faces? - Yes.
- Did you go by yourself? - I went with some people I knew.
- You didn't go with your parents? - No.
- He didn't have parents. - I see.
- So you must have opened the door and went inside. - Yes.
You were probably curious about what kind of person she was.
Right? Did you like her as soon as you saw her?
My heart just kind of thumped.
You were happy? You fell for her at first sight?
We both liked each other.
You guys weren't able to look at each other because you were embarrassed, right?
- Right. We can't look at each other. - I just glanced at her from the side.
Then how do you go on the next date?
During that time, you didn't go out for a date.
You guys meet on the first date and connect with each other.
- On that day in that spot? - Yes.
- Did you come back home that day? - I slept there that night.
On the first day?
At Gamcheon-dong?
Back then, he had nothing.
He didn't have a family or house.
At least I had a house.
I still met him even though I knew he had nothing.
He just came in and lived with us. He lived with his in-laws.
I wanted to hurry up and get married.
Also back then, everyone was poor.
- Everyone was like that, right? - Yes. So I
wanted to leave my family to lessen their burden.
Ever since then, you lived in Gamcheon-dong? After going for the blind date?
How long afterward did you have the wedding?
- Not too long afterward. - About a month later.
- You guys set a date a month after that? - Yes.
- How did you have the wedding back then? - At home. In a traditional way.
- With traditional clothing. - I even rode on a palanquin.
- You didn't lose your pride though, right? - I made sure I didn't.
- Your family accepted him as a son. - Yes, as a son and son-in-law.
We lived in one house together.
How did you end up coming to Seoul from Busan?
My parents came to Seoul first.
They were running a business and needed helping hands.
They ran a kimbap business.
When they would run the kimbap shop at Changnyeong Market,
I would make the rice and take it to them.
- Did you work somewhere? - I ran an individual business.
- I see. - For furniture.
Furniture?
Where?
- Junggok-dong. - Everything was at Junggok-dong?
Everything was done at Junggok-dong.
For what reason did you let your wife take the reins?
Because things didn't work out.
He wanted to do something, but making money didn't go as planned.
So he suffered a lot.
Do you always have a sorry heart?
So I started a business.
I used to sell chopped noodles at the market down the street.
I made them myself.
- No wonder your food tasted so good. - I know.
- She prepared dinner quickly as soon as we came. - Right.
I sold chopped noodles for ten years and bought this house.
- 15 years ago? - Yes.
- That's what happened. - Let's give a round of applause to your wife, sir.
(He's cute)
He's so charming!
(Mr. Kim from Gyeongsang-do isn't good at expressing his feelings.)
What was your motivation for working so hard?
We had to live. We had our kids, too. We had to live.
I wanted to make sure my kids didn't suffer like us,
which is why I worked hard, and this is all I could do.
- You're amazing. - We managed to barely live like this.
You're such a great person.
We applaud you.
Thank you.
We saw the Pyeonggang Fountain here.
Princess Pyeonggang.
You're like Princess Pyeonggang.
(Junggok-dong's Princess Pyeonggang)
(Acknowledged!)
- Is that so? - What do you think?
She is.
Just like Princess Pyeonggang, she fiercely fought
with life and made a future for her family.
The thing that made her strong and firm was her other name "mother."
This is a segment of the show. You have to say three compliments about your wife.
Things you're grateful about. You have to make three compliments.
Honey, first of all, I'm grateful you raised our kids well.
Thank you for living with me all this time when I have nothing.
I'll give you all the love I couldn't give you before,
so please be healthy and live for a long time.
Thank you. I'm grateful you know how much I've been suffering.
(They can't look at each other after expressing their feelings...)
I thought he didn't know.
You're grateful he knows how you feel. What else?
I'm grateful he guards the house well when I'm out.
- What about the last one? - I'm grateful he's not sick.
Do you like citrus tea? I brought some.
Pour it in here. She made the citrus tea herself.
I don't know if it's good or not.
Thank you.
(Everyone tries Seo-hyun's citrus tea.)
(How does it taste?)
- You brought this in the morning? - Yes.
- It's very strong. - It's strong.
- I made it strong. - It's strong.
- What is today's date? - January 3rd.
- It's your wedding anniversary. - I think you two are our gifts.
- Wow! Amazing! - Unforgettable gifts.
Right? It's special that we came on your wedding anniversary!
This is amazing!
- They think of us as gifts. - Exactly!
- You can come back at our 60th wedding anniversary. - 60th?
I don't know if I'll be okay then...
Your daughter said she prepared a gift for your wedding anniversary.
- Really? - I didn't wrap it yet!
- She will give you your gift now. - You bought a gift?
In a rush...
Another unexpected wedding anniversary gift is awaiting the married couple.
A gift! If we had known, we would have brought a gift, too.
It's a gift that went astray from my original plans...
It's a gift that my mom saw once that I lied about.
This...
They're scarves. One for my dad and one for my mom.
- Thank you. - What was the lie?
I saw this package yesterday because she brought it home.
She said her friend bought this and wanted to leave it at our house for some reason.
I thought that was true.
It was a surprise show.
You brought a guitar, so while we're at it, you should
sing them a song for their 19th wedding anniversary.
Sure.
(Very happy)
- I want to film this. Can I? - Sure.
- Really? - There's no other wedding anniversary like this.
(Congratulatory performance for wedding anniversary)
- I sincerely congratulate you on your wedding anniversary. - Thank you!
When I meet a girl I love, I wanted to sing this song to her.
It was the song I sang in "Bad Thief, Good
Thief," when I proposed to Seo-hyun's character.
- I think it will suit your wedding anniversary. - Thank you.
("Person Who Gives Happiness" - Sunflower)
"Even if the way that I go is rough and far
I'll be okay if you go with me.
When the morning sun shines on our way
I'll tell you I'm happy.
Even if I look around, the best thing is
staying with you.
You are a person who gives me happiness.
Even if the way that I go is rough and far
you are a person who gives me happiness.
Sometimes, it may be a boring and lonely road.
But I'll be okay if you go with me.
You are a person who gives me happiness.
Even if the way that I go is rough and far
you are a person who gives me happiness."
(He gifted an unforgettable memory to them.)
(Perfect ending)
- Thank you. - Great job!
(Everyone was touched by the congratulatory song.)
- I really love this song. - Right? "Person Who Gives Happiness."
You're totally emotional. You were amazing.
I think my wife loves this more than any other gift.
(Ji Hyun-woo: The Greatest Gift)
- Just pretend your husband sang it to you. - Then she won't cry.
(When do I leave...?)
- Dae-sung, you're going to the academy. - He is.
- Study hard. - Way to go!
He's a senior in high school now.
- Get into a good college! - Thank you.
Is there anything you hope for?
For things to work out well for my kids. What more can I ask for?
I just want my kids to be healthy.
- And that your son will quickly... - And that he'll quickly meet his match.
I'm hoping he'll get married soon.
Say something to your future daughter-in-law. Look at the camera and say something.
You must be out there somewhere, but we haven't met you yet.
I really hope I'll be able to see you soon.
Hurry up and come, my future daughter-in-law.
Say something to your future daughter-in-law as well.
I don't know where you are,
but I will give you plenty of love for as long as I live.
Hurry up.
A heart for your beloved daughter-in-law.
Wait a minute. Mr. Kim, when do you think Seo-hyun should get married?
- I'm not sure. - She's 28.
She's 28. It'd be nice if she got married this year.
- Based on her age? - Yes.
- You must have some kind of marriage plans. - I want to get married late.
Maybe at the age of 35? But who knows? I may change my mind.
- There are many people who do that nowadays. - People marry late.
- But if a man she loves appears, she'll have no choice but to marry him. - Right.
- Then you might get married early. Your soulmate might appear. - Right.
While hoping for her soulmate to come, it's time to end the evening at Junggok-dong.
We need to wash the dishes.
(Kyung-kyu & Hyun-woo wash the dishes together.)
It's rare to succeed in one try.
- I wondered if that was okay. - It's fine. What's wrong with that? It feels great.
- Thank you for dinner. I enjoyed it. - You're welcome.
(He always talked about persimmons, and now he's finally eating them.)
(Please stop talking about persimmons now.)
(After eating the persimmon, he washes the dishes with Seo-hyun.)
- Every week, I learn about life. - Right.
I think it's nice that you get to do this every week.
Seeing Seo-hyun washing the dishes in the
kitchen, it feels like she's our daughter-in-law.
I'll be your daughter-in-law for today.
- How nice is this? - She really feels like our daughter-in-law.
(Joyful)
- Who else would do the dishes at our house? - Thank you, mother!
That's warm and nice!
(Proof shot with the families who gave them dinner!)
One, two, three.
At Junggok-dong with people who gives happiness, houses 108 and 109 have been born.
Thank you for giving us good memories in 2018.
Good luck, "Let's Eat Dinner Together!"
- Kang Ho-dong. - Seo-hyun.
Thank you for making good memories for us.
Happy New Year!
Go greet them.
(JTBC's Dinner News Room)
Hello, everyone. I'm anchor Lee Kyung-kyu.
- And... - That concludes the news for today.
Mr. Kang, let's go have our team dinner.
Let's grab some drinks since we're done.
You can't be doing this here.
(Today's dinner guests!)
(The two lead actors of drama "Misty")
Ji Jin-hee and Kim Nam-joo.
"Go have dinner at Gung-dong."
About Nam-joo's unchanging beauty...
- She's known as having preservative beauty. - I know.
- I can't look at you in the eye either. - Why not?
Because you're so handsome. How does it feel to live life as a handsome guy?
- Do you like it? - I like it a lot.
I've liked it ever since I was a baby.
Once you hit 60, whether you're handsome or not, you all look the same.
Stop saying weird things. You just wait a bit.
She's the first generation of the Hallyu wave.
"Wife's Dignity!"
"Wife's Standard?"
Who are you confusing me with?
Aren't you wiping your nose too much? It's dirty.
- Student? - Student on leave.
- A middle school student? - Do you have hearing problems?
(He becomes dazed by her straightforwardness.)
I'm nervous!
- Who is it? - I'm Kim Nam-joo.
I don't know who you are.
Well...um...
(Pathetic mode in front of the doorbell)
- Hello. - What do you want?
I'm actress Kim Nam-joo.
She hung up...
- I'm Kim Nam-joo. - I don't know who you are.
- "My Husband Got a Family." - I know that.
- But you don't know me? - I have bad memory.
- She's the lead actress in there! - I'm Ji Jin-hee.
"Jijin?" As in earthquake?
When there's an earthquake, you have to go under the table, okay?
- Do you know "Let's Eat Dinner Together?" - Yes.
You're the lucky winner!
You won the chance to have dinner with us!
Isn't he good with words?
You got chosen! You're the lucky winner! You got it!
- We already ate. - You did?
- Yes. - Unfortunately, you're eliminated. I'm sorry.
Goodness. This was a good chance to become a winner.
("Let's Eat Dinner Together"/Wednesday 11 p.m.)
You're a blessing.
- The people in Junggok-dong are very generous, right? - Right.
- I worried a lot. To give dinner to someone isn't an easy thing. - It's not.
- I don't think your last name is Seo. - Then what is it?
Your last name is Blessed. Blessed Seo-hyun.
"Blessed Seo-hyun." I like it!
Since we had a warm dinner, let's soar.
One, two...

And here in Junggok-dong,
the spirit of Princess Pyeonggang that protected
