(In the world of the jungle-like variety show industry, this show is a]
(documentary about two men who had once been the nation's MC trying to find a meal)
A fairy tale...
(November 9, 2016 - In front of the Line 1 Oryu-dong Station)
(Once upon a time, in a far away land.)
(The Kyu-Dong brothers lived in a shining castle.)
(Although the brothers had eaten dinners at a total of four houses...)
(Older brother Kyung-kyu got increasingly angry)
(And younger brother Ho-dong would only talk about himself as time went on)
(But then...)
(One cold winter day in November, a mission card appeared)
(And there was just one rule that was written on the mission card)
(Go to the village where child-like innocence is still alive)
(Who will give these two men something to eat...)
This neighborhood looks like...
Oryu-dong?
- Yeah? - What? - Oryu-dong.
Are you saying it's a mistake neighborhood?
- Oryu-dong? - I'm sure it's not like that.
Sorry about that.
Depending on who does it first...
You might end up looking bad.
That's why I didn't crack the joke.
Oryu-dong.
Oryu-dong, it's right here.
Oryu-dong.
Named after all the paulownia and willow trees in the area.
While we're in Oryu-dong, we'll grab
a quick meal from someone.
And go home after, right?
So we just need to get a meal from Oryu-dong...
But Kyung-kyu.
Changcheon-dong!
The emotions from last week...
They're still in my heart even now.
(Hurry up and give it to me!!)
(Gives the mission card without a fight)
I already told you, you can't just give us the card like this.
Because the day is cold, we need to have a longer warm up.
We need to loosen up our bodies.
Go to Songwol-dong, where child-like innocence is...
What is this?
Aren't we in Oryu-dong?
But we need to eat a meal in Songwol-dong?
Where is Songwol-dong?
I don't know, Kyung-kyu.
We can just look Songwol-dong up.
Search it up then.
(Looking for Songwol-dong using their phones(?))
- Songwol-dong? - Yeah, Songwol-dong.
There's a Songwol-dong in Naju.
Naju... Jeolla-do?
Yes, Kyung-kyu. Their beef bone soup is really good...
- I know... - Naju beef bone soup.
There's a Songwol-dong in Jongno-gu, too.
I found a Jongno-gu Songwol-dong.
(Where do Kyu-Dong have to go?)
Incheon? Incheon Songwol-dong?
Incheon Songwol-dong, Fairy Tale Village?
There are a total of three search results for Songwol-dong in Korea.
Depending on which Songwol-dong it is...
Their fates will also change.
It's possible that they may even have a bowlful of beef bone soup.
Kyung-kyu.
- Kyung-kyu. - Hmm?
- Kyung-kyu. - Wow Chinatown!
- Kyung-kyu. - What?!
Can you answer me?
Why don't you reply?
How many times did you even call me? I was surprised.
- I mean... - Do you like me that much?
Then we can be together all week long.
What...
So Kyung-kyu, you know how this is a fairy tale village?
What is a fairy tale?
A novel for like... young children?
Exactly! So that's child-like innocence!
I mean the staff went as far as to say "Go to where child-like innocence is alive."
And get dinner there.
Bingo.
He's figured it out.
Kang Ho-dong. You did a very good job.
Not Naju Songwol-dong...
Or even Jongno Songwol-dong.
But in the port city, Incheon Songwol-dong...
They say that there is mysterious village where child-like innocence is still alive.
What kind of people could be living in this place?
The middle-aged Kyu-Dong brothers, who have been tainted by the dirt of the world.
Come face to face with living childhood innocence.
Let's Eat Dinner Together.
Episode 6.
(Like in a Fairy Tale)
We're leaving Seoul.
- You're right! - Yeah, we're leaving Seoul for the first time.
There's a subway here that takes you to Incheon.
Going to a city that isn't Seoul for the first time.
The Kyu-Dong brothers head to Incheon.
- They're doing construction here. - Where?
Up there.
It's amazing how it doesn't just fall apart.
Ships are fascinating, too! How does iron float in water?
It's iron!
It's so fascinating.
(Kyung-kyu shows no reaction...)
All these things!
It's so fascinating to see trains go by.
Technology.
(And?)
(The production crew doesn't care either...)
I think the most fascinating thing is seeing airplanes fly.
Stop saying such useless things!
- What? - You're not in elementary school!
Just ride them!
How does something that heavy fly?
(His talkativeness comes from his curiosity)
Wow.
It means it's coming, right?
(Line 1 heading to Incheon arrives)
(Boarding Line 1 - Current time 2:10 PM)
Oh this is nice. Very nice.
(They naturally take a seat among the citizens)
Hello?
(She doesn't recognize Kyung-kyu)
(Feeling awkward)
Hey. Stay close to me.
- The show is starting... - Hello.
(Immediately recognizes Ho-dong)
Oh my goodness.
- I'm sorry for not recognizing you. - No, no. It's okay.
- Hello. - Yes.
Even if people look at you like this...
You're really this huge.
- My face is? - Yeah.
It's so visible.
Did you know that I was Kang Ho-dong right away?
(Yes...)
Does my face say Kang Ho-dong?
Looking for their child-like innocence,
the subway heading to Incheon departs.
The first subway line ever to be open in Korea was Line 1.
The freight trains used to transport goods on the Gyeongin Railroad Line turned
into commuter trains for the metropolitan citizens.
The journey to Incheon seems to be going smoothly...
However, there's just one problem...
Where do we get off for Songwol-dong?
Sit here. I'll go take a look.
- Songwol-dong? - Yes.
I'll just look at the map.
(There is no Songwol-dong Station)
Is there anyone who lives in Incheon here?
You live in Bucheon?
You wouldn't know where to get off for Songwol-dong, would you?
I'll look it up for you.
Your face can't come out on TV?
I didn't do my makeup...
What didn't you do?
You look pretty even without makeup.
We'll cover her with this.
Those two over there, too.
Did they do something wrong or something?
You won't be on TV.
We'll blur out your faces.
I've never seen people hide like this before.
- I know. - They're hiding really well.
They're covering their faces while laughing.
The citizens heading to Incheon seem to be very shy.
Where are you heading to? Just answer for us.
- Sosa. - Sosa? - Sosa?
Is it bad if your face is on TV?
(Violent headbanging)
- You're in college, right? - Yes.
Okay. First year?
- She's not. - Oh 2nd year. - I told you to stop making guesses.
- You're so frustrating. - But still...
Instead of guessing, you could just ask what year she's in.
If you ask college students if they're first years, most people like it.
- Because they seem younger. - He's right.
Why don't you understand that mentality?
You have no child-like innocence.
- That's child-like innocence? - Isn't that our theme today?
I'm the same age as your daughter.
- Year of the dog? - Yes, year of the dog.
- Oh that's right. - Me, too.
Oh yeah.
- Year of the dog? - Yes, I'm a dog.
- You were born in the year of the dog? - Yes, we're dogs.
Woof woof!
(Seems like she's happy to meet a fellow friend)
She was trying so hard not to be on TV.
And she kept hiding her face so she wouldn't be visible.
Then suddenly, "Woof woof."
This is amazing.
- What's your major? - Public Relations.
Oh Public Relations?
"Let's Eat Dinner Together."
What do you think about our show's name?
- From a promoting perspective... - It's good...
(Rushes out)
Goodbye!
Have a nice day.
- Fairy tale village. - You can get off at Incheon Station. - Right?
And go out through exit 1.
I have to get off now...
You have to get off? Aww, I'm so sad. Really.
- Get home safely. - Can you give us a good luck chant?
Fighting!
(She really did everything...)
- Now this side. - What're you looking at?
(Attempting to communicate with the citizens sitting across from them)
Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?
He's my older brother.
- What? - I'm her real brother.
You...
Stop asking questions like that if you don't know.
- I'm sorry. - So frustrating. - She's your actual sister? - Yes.
I just meant that the two of them look very close to each other.
Ma'am.
-Are you a student at Inha University? - No.
It's been about 5 years since I graduated.
I told you to stop asking questions like that.
Come here. Come here, come here.
Join us.
Most people seem to cover their faces.
In the last car...
They were saying that their faces couldn't be on TV.
My makeup looks really nice today so...
Nice to meet you!
It's been my life-long wish to be on TV.
You've always wanted to be on TV?
- Ever since you were little? - Yes.
- Then today your dream is coming true. - Yes, that's right.
And on the day that your dream came true.
- Your makeup also looks nice. - Looks very nice.
- What do you think child-like innocence is? - Innocence?
Child-like innocence is not having any worries.
Having no worries.
Thinking about it, those are some really good words.
Since your wish came true today, hurry and send your parents a video message.
Mom, I'm on TV.
I'm not sure if I look pretty or not...
Mom and dad, don't lose your child-like innocence.
Why would your mom and dad lose their child-like innocence?
The train filled with laughter from child-like innocence
has arrived at Incheon Station.
Will it really be a day without any worries?
(A mother excited to see Ho-dong)
Yes, hello!
- That's the nation's MC, Lee Kyung-kyu! - What?
The nation's MC, Lee Kyung-kyu!
Kyung-kyu! Turn around and wave your hand for them.
Ah! It's Lee Kyung-kyu?
- Lee Kyung-kyu! - Stop that!
Lee Kyung-kyu!
Stop that.
Kyung-kyu is already filled with worries.
And Ho-dong is excited like a child.
Yes, thank you.
A brother full of worries and a brother full of words.
They journey to find their child-like innocence.
Alright.
Dang, this is Incheon?
They actually wrote Chinatown of Incheon here.
Chinatown's right over there.
It says Chinatown up there.
Chinatown of Incheon Station.
The entrance to Chinatown is visible right in front of them.
And it piques Ho-dong's curiosity.
There are a lot of different Chinatowns.
It's my first time seeing a Chinatown.
This is my first time.
- You haven't been? - Nope.
We have to go to Songwol-dong.
Let's stop by Chinatown for a bit first.
But Chinatown has a lot of hills though.
Just once, just once. I'm telling you I've never been there.
What?
But we need to ask how to get to Songwol-dong.
How do we get to Songwol-dong?
- What? - That way.
- That way? - Yes.
You could go that way or you could go through this way, too.
- You could go straight this way? - Yes.
Wait so... sir!
Can we go through Chinatown to get there?
Kyung-kyu, it's my first time.
- What? - It's my first time so I want to explore.
Explore then.
Today they've decided to satisfy Ho-dong's curiosity.
Since they're on their way to find their child-like innocence.
So it's like a Little China, right?
- Yeah, there are Chinatowns all over the world. - Yes.
There are 1.4 billion Chinese people, right?
So they live all around the world.
Then the people...
Who run businesses here... Are they all Chinese?
- They're Chinese immigrants. - Yes.
There are Chinese people who have lived here their whole life.
And people who moved here to run businesses.
- Oh hello there. - Yes, hello.
- Nice to meet you. - Can we shake hands?
How delicious are the black bean noodles
that are sold here in Chinatown?
It's so delicious. You should come inside.
- No, no, it's okay. - Come in, come in.
What part of China are you from?
- Me? - She's obviously Korean.
- I'm Chinese. - I told you.
- I can't tell by just looking at her face. - Where in China are you from?
- I'm from Yantai. - Oh Yantai?
- Yantai. - Yantai.
- Where the famous kaoliang liquor is from? - Yes, yes.
- Yes, yes. - I see.
(Yantai kaoliang liquor thumbs up)
My parents were in Yantai.
So they married here and we're the 2nd generation.
Ah 2nd generation.
Where did your parents get married?
In Korea!
- So they were born in Korea? - Yes. - I see...
You're so frustrating! Seriously!
- Kyung-kyu. - Come in!
No, we have to go. We have to go somewhere.
We have to go to Songwol-dong.
- Songwol-dong? - The Fairy Tale Village.
The Fairy Tale Village? Then go this way.
1883.
Along with the opening of Incheon Harbor, the Chinese immigrants settled down.
The place where they created their own way of life.
Incheon Chinatown.
Having a deep history enough to be the background to many various movies,
this is the unique little China that is inside of Korea.
The home of the Korean style black bean noodle.
It'd be nice if they could try a bite...
But to Kyu-Dong, it's nothing but a dream.
- What is this? - This is the thing with the fortune on the inside!
Hello!
What is this? Is this a cookie?
There's a secret in the cookie.
What is a pochoon?
Cookie.
What is the meaning of fortune?
Doesn't fortune have to do with economics?
- Economics? - You know, the Fortune 500 from all around the world?
Isn't it that Fortune?
It means fortune and luck. They have lotto numbers, too.
- I'm sure it has to do with luck. - In the middle of the cookie there's a...
Fortune?
Your fortune for the day is inside the cookie.
What? I'm right, right?
- How much is it? - For each one?
2 for a dollar.
Let's try it.
You're going to get it?
(Bravely pays a dollar)
- Here, pick one. - You pick one first.
Do we eat the cookie, too?
Yes, it's good.
You open it up first, Kyung-kyu.
There's something in here. Look.
You're supposed to eat the cookie.
See there's a paper in here.
Kyung-kyu's fortune for today that's been hidden inside of the cookie...
Comes out into the world.
(What will Kyung-kyu's fortune for today be?)
(Completely serious)
Honesty and courage will be needed in order to deal with
the very precious opportunities that will appear in front of you.
Be patient.
Of course, I should be prepared and wait for this.
It saying that luck will come to me.
Quietly wait. Everything will work out.
(Me, too. Me, too)
Get something bad!
Get something bad.
Nothing you do will be successful.
What will ho-dong's fortune be after Kyung-kyu cursed it?
((Please be something bad))
Think about what kind of image really suits you.
Forget the image that you have now.
And design a new image for yourself.
Didn't I say this to you already?
Throw away the superficial you!
A new face.
Will serve as the foundation for your success.
Are you serious...
Forget the image I have now...
Yeah!
Design a new face.
Think about what kind of image
really suits you.
Forget the image that you have now.
And design a new one, right?
Right?
(Bitter)
- Stop lying. - How did I get this?
What is the new face that Ho-dong needs?
And what is the honesty and courage
that Kyung-kyu needs?
During their dinner journey...
Will they be able to find the answers?
You should change...
Your image now.
Superstition and stuff... You can't believe things like today's fortune.
Of course it's just for fun.
- See. Oh yes, hello! - Hello!
(Sending a heart)
Stuff like this. Change this stuff.
This is what I'm saying is superficial.
- Hello! - Hello!
We'll stop by later!
Yes! Thank you!
If you don't stop by, I'm really going to get mad at you.
- Okay, I got it. - Hey. Don't...
Don't say impossible things like that.
I'll stop by. Then you need to stop by.
When are you going to stop by?
Without any sort of thought.
We'll stop by! Stop by how?
Saying things... like a con artist.
That's what...
That's what you're doing right now.
That's why got that fortune.
Throw away that...
Image that you have.
Yeah?
Lie bread!
(The God of Lies(?) appears in front of them!)
- Lie bread. - It's the God of Lies.
It's called lie bread because it lies.
- So stop lying. - So they're fake bread?
Yeah that's funny.
The hills are no joke here.
This is where the Three Kingdoms stuff is.
(Three Kingdoms Mural Street)
They've come upon the important scenes
from the Three Kingdoms that have been turned into magnificent murals.
So the story of the Three Kingdoms has been drawn into these murals?
Due to the corruption and incompetency of the imperial family
the eunuchs rose to power and this led
to the people's livelihood being ruined.
Then and now...
A story that sounds oddly familiar.
Does history repeat itself?
(The mural of the Legend of Chu and Han appears)
Ah Zhang Liang.
Who is that?
He's done a lot of things similar to me.
After his native state fell, he attempted to assassinate the emperor.
But ended up failing.
He looks kind of similar to you, Kyung-kyu.
Stand next to him. Stand next to him.
Look, look. Take off your glasses.
Goodness...
Kyung-kyu.
A carbon copy. A carbon copy.
History really must repeat itself.
Like the wrinkles or this part right here.
Past the slightly scary history of the adults...
The Kyu-Dong brothers press on towards the village
known to be filled with child-like innocence.
- Oh I'm hungry. - Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village!
Yeah.
Hey, there's a giraffe here.
The characters are starting to appear.
Kyung-kyu! I'm scared! I'm scared!
I'm so scared!
Hide! Hide! Kyung-kyu!
It's a tiger!
- Kyung-kyu, I'm scared! - Stop it.
Unless I was crazy.
There's no way I'd accept that reaction.
Go act like that to Lee Soo-geun.
Okay?
Seo Jang-hoon. Kim Hee-chul. Go act like this to those guys.
Okay? Ah! The tiger is so scary!
Then those guys will accept it.
They'd love it.
((He's discovered something))
Hey! It's a lion.
Do you know what the opposite of lion is?
Destiny.
(A perfect joke for old men)
Terrible old men jokes that destroy child-like innocence...
See, look at that Kyung-kyu.
There's chicken.
And there are giraffes over there.
And rabbits, too. Because they're there...
Doesn't if feel kind of rich and abundant?
(Looking around)
Kyung-kyu, Kyung-kyu. Hold on.
This must be the Fairy Tale Village.
- Fairy Tale Road. - Right here.
Ah Kyung-kyu! Over there! Over there!
Up there! It says Fairy Tale Village.
It says Fairy Tale Village.
Look at all that. This is big.
The place where they'll be getting dinner.
The Fairy Tale Village really appeared in front of them.
An alley where the world inside of a fairy tale comes to life.
Will they be able to open the door to this fairy tale and go inside?
The Kyu-Dong Brothers in Fairy Tale Land.
Oh this is so cute. Please have a seat. Our chief.
- Can you sit here? - Of course! - You don't have to pay?
No, you can just sit here.
It's a fairy tale.
They made it kind of weird though.
(Looks like he's having fun?)
Look at this.
You sit, too.
(Squish squish)
- How pretty. - Wow, they even did all of that.
- I know. - Look. There's cranes, ducks and sheep.
I mean wow...
It really is a fairy tale village.
Do you think we can eat here?
Since the village is a fairy tale village.
Won't everyone have child-like innocence?
Will they really open their doors?
When it's cold?
We need their warm hearts so I'm sure they'll open the door for us.
Anyway, Ho-dong thinks that in Songwol-dong...
In this Fairy Tale Village...
In this place where innocence is alive
the Kyu-Dong brothers will definitely
succeed today!
You think so? Every week when we do this...
I feel like we get really lucky a lot.
And that's why they open the door.
But as long as we have honesty and courage...
We can get something to eat.
That's my fortune for today.
Your fortune today was to change your image.
That's the only way you can succeed.
- Make sure to keep it. - Yeah, I still have mine.
Forget the image that you have now.
And design a new image for yourself.
(A fortune that makes you come to your senses)
(Hahahahahahaha)
Even when you laugh, you could laugh like this.
But you laugh like this. You need to throw that away.
That's what you need to throw away. Exactly! Like that.
Back to innocence.
- Into the fairy tale. - The world of innocence.
The world of innocence.
The entire street is full of fairy tales.
Kyung-kyu, Kyung-kyu.
- What? - Fairy Tale Village Road.
Two old men finally step into the world of child-like innocence.
(On every wall is a scene from a fairy tale and its characters)
Oh Kyung-kyu. What's that footstep?
I think you're supposed to stand here and look in front of you.
You can see a cartoon right away.
What is this?
- Wait, what do you see? - There's a giraffe.
Is this the point?
It means you can see everything from here.
Fairy Tale Village, wow.
Kyung-kyu! Kyung-kyu! Kyung-kyu!
Don't step on the giraffe's head!
The giraffe's head hurts! No! It hurts! The head!
- It hurts! - What am I supposed to do?
Don't step on the head! Don't step on it!
It hurts!
- Step somewhere else. - Do that at "Knowing Brothers." They'll like that.
(He won't take any of it...)
There's a hidden picture game here.
(Looking for things in the frog drawing)
There's a hidden picture in this.
Okay.
There's an umbrella.
Look for it.
- There's an umbrella? You saw it? - Yeah.
- Can you not... - What?
Can you not see it because you're old now?
No. I see something else though.
- Want me to show you? - What?
- Should I show you? - Where?
What is this?
It's an umbrella!
- No way! - An umbrella and ice cream.
- There's a top. - Yeah, there's a top here.
A heart.
But where are the answers?
What answers? You can just tell by looking at it.
The street number for this house is hidden in the picture.
In this picture?
What's the street number for this house?
It's 53-9.
Let's do it for hits.
Ho-dong! Ho-dong! Ho-dong! So the first person
to find it gets to hit the other person.
(Everyone, please try looking for them, too)
Alright. Okay. The 3 is here.
Okay so 3. Give me that, Kyung-kyu.
- Yeah. - The 3.
Just the 3? Where's the 5?
We have to hit after every number that's found.
I'm going to hit your knee.
Again, again. Ho-dong!
- What? - 9!
- Where's the 9? - 9! 9!
9!
- That's a 9? - It's a 9!
- 9. - Ah...
Kyung-kyu.
Alright the 5... Ho-dong!
- What? Where is it? - The 5!
5!
- Where is the 5? - 5!
Kyung-kyu.
(Smack!)
(Joy and sorrow)
Okay so 5.
3.
- 9.
- Goodness. - You can see it if you look at it like a child.
Thinking, "I need to quickly find it so I can beat up Ho-dong."
You won't see it like that.
There's no way this is a 3.
- Have you thought of this before, Kyung-kyu? - What?
The people that turned these walls into fairy tales.
Inside these walls.
What kind of people actually live here?
- I wonder. - Will they be like fairy tale people?
You think they would walk out with a rabbit's head?
We'd ring the bell and a rabbit's head would appear.
(Kyu-Dong began to get curious...)
On the other side of the walls that stimulate your imagination with fairy tales...
What kind of people live there?
The village is so pretty, isn't it?
Why did this turn into a fairy tale...
Was it always a fairy tale village?
It wasn't originally a fairy tale village.
They took an area that had fallen behind
- and redeveloped the area. - Yes.
They drew famous scenes from fairy tales and that's how Fairy Tale Village came to be.
How long has it been then?
A little over 2 years now?
- Then it hasn't been that long. - Yes, it hasn't been too long.
What do you sell here?
We run a cafe. A coffee shop.
Excuse me.
I'm here to crack down on interviews.
Stop holding interviews.
I'm here to crack down on interviews.
Is your business doing well?
(Haha...)
I'm cracking down on interviews. No more interviews.
You can't interview anyone in this neighborhood anymore.
Kyung-kyu, what fairy tale is this?
(Lemme take a look)
Goblin. Come out gold.
- Ah... - The one where gold comes out.
Come out gold. Tap tap.
Come out silver. Tap tap.
- That one? - Yeah, that one.
Right? With the goblin?
Hey! It's this one!
This is the best one.
The Woodcutter and Fairy.
You mean The Fairy and the Woodcutter.
(Embarrassed)
Oh The Fairy and Woodcutters.
The Fairy and Woodcutters?
It's The Woodcutter and Fairies.
We usually call it The Fairy and the Woodcutter.
You sure it's not The Woodcutter and Fairies?
There's one woodcutter and lots of fairies.
Since there's a lot, they come first.
When there's this many fairies?
Should we take out all of the water?
So you can see everything up to here?
It's a fairy tale. Look at it like a child would!
What do you mean take out the water?
Don't say such ridiculous things.
(Jump jump)
((Should I take a peek, too...?))
This is my older brother.
And I'm the younger brother.
- Look at it with child-like innocence please! - The thing is...
I mean... Why are the fairies so...
Hello our dear young children viewers of "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
Starting now, our very own Mr. Lee Kyung-kyu,
will tell you about the story of "The Woodcutter and the Fairy."
Mister Lee Kyung-kyu. How does The Fairy and the Woodcutter go?
The fairies came down from heaven.
So that they can bathe.
But the woodcutter discovered them while chopping wood.
And he ends up hiding the clothes...
Of the most beautiful fairy of them all.
So how does the fairy go back home?
She can't because she's embarrassed.
So she ends up living with him.
So they lived happily ever after?
They did.
Until she finds her clothes.
- At her husband's house? - Yes, at his house.
So then she all furious.
So she ends up going back up to heaven.
But she has to take a rope up to heaven.
What rope is that?
- It's a long rope. - Okay.
It needs to be cut though, right?
So then he's like, "Where's my ax?"
"Give me back my ax!"
- "Is this ax your ax?" - Exactly!
So he said, " No that's not mine."
"The gold ax is not mine."
This time it's another ax that's rotten and it's the one he threw away.
"That one's my ax."
And then he cuts the rope so the fairy can't run away.
The long rope?
Is that not it?
Are those two different stories? Or the same one?
Why didn't you tell me then, you punk?
Even though I'm younger, how could you call me a punk on TV?
That's not what I was saying...
No matter how desperate you may be.
Mister MC.
No, that's not it.
Hold on a minute. Wait so...
Where does the gold and silver ax come from?
Because I was into sports,
I really don't know much about fairy tales, Kyung-kyu.
- What is this one? - Which one?
Kyung-kyu.
Turtle! Oh this is the one with the rabbit!
Yeah! The rabbit's liver.
- The rabbit's liver. - Rabbits don't have livers, right?
Why don't they have livers?
Rabbits don't have livers.
Rabbits are carnivorous! Why wouldn't they have livers?
You dummy!
Rabbits don't have livers so that's why he said he'd give it away.
That's not it. They asked for his liver.
So the rabbit said...
His liver was in the ocean.
- The palace of the Sea King. - Yeah!
The story starts at the palace of the Sea King.
- At the palace. - Does it?
Rabbits have livers?
Rabbits are carnivorous, right?
I've never heard of rabbits having livers though.
Oh this... This is that thing!
What is that again?
The Great Jade Emperor?
The Big Five... I mean the Great Jade Emperor!
- The Dragon King! - The Dragon King!
- It's the Dragon King! - Yes, the Dragon King.
The Dragon King got sick.
- Right, right. - And so he was told.
That eating a rabbit's liver would heal him.
So they brought a rabbit.
- But the smart rabbit used his head. - Yes.
And said my liver is outside.
Is that why the rabbit and the turtle end up racing each other?
- The turtle... - No, that's the grasshopper and the...
- The grasshopper and the... - Ant? - The ant! It's that.
- The rabbit and the turtle probably raced, too. - They did.
So who won?
Rab... Turtle!
- Dang hold on. - Wow what is all this?
- It's Heungbu and Nolbu! - Ah Nolbu and Heungbu!
Dang. Kyung-kyu!
You have the mean look that Nolbu has, right?
- Huh? - You look like Nolbu? - Yepp.
You don't look nice like Heungbu, right?
Me? I definitely look more like Nolbu.
(Looking through his cellphone)
You don't have a kind face.
(Look at this)
Nolbu?
Should we compare it to mine?
I also have a Nolbu picture.
- Kyung-kyu. - What is that?
Nolbu.
(Can't argue against this real Nolbu)
This must be the reason why...
It's so hard to get dinner.
Wow this.
The wood...
Ho-dong! It's the Woodcutter and Fairy!
- What? - The Woodcutter and Fairy.
Kyung-kyu, this is Under the Sea.
- This is Little Mermaid. - Under the sea.
- Little Mermaid! - Oh it's Little Mermaid.
In the past, they would say...
The top part is fish.
And the legs are human.
They used to say things like that.
Let's take a picture, Kyung-kyu.
The not so handsome old men are excited about
taking pictures with the prettiest girl in Fairy Tale Village.
My face really looks small though.
(#thebest_woman_withabiggerhead_thanme)
(#i'm_afishingmaster #please_take_mybait #iwon'tuse_worms)
How cute!
(The 57 and 47 year old men are full of laughter)
Being at a fairy tale village is really turning us back into children.
Forgetting about dinner for a bit...
Did the two old men really find their child-like innocence?
Oh my, what is this, Kyung-kyu?
It's a tree.
What?
- It's a tree. - Kyung-kyu.
Kyung-kyu, these might be camellia flowers.
A dog?
(Secretly looking in a stranger's house~)
I always like seeing this sign.
Beware of dog.
- Why? - They always had signs up when I was little.
Beware of dog.
I'll get rid of it for you.
- I'll do it. - Stop it. - There's something there.
Only your image will get better.
Stop it. Your image will get better.
Let me get some benefits from being with you.
What benefits are you trying to get?
Dibs.
- Hey Ho-dong. I want this house. - Huh?
- This one. - Alright, Ho-dong has dibs on this one.
I like this house.
Dibs.
Kyung-kyu, Kyung-kyu. I like this one.
- All of it? - We can just press all the buttons.
(A greedy old man)
I like this house, this house, this house.
A house of flowers.
- Put dibs on it. - It looks very harmonious. Right?
Kyung-kyu, let's do this.
So we can have some fun.
Rock, paper, scissors and the loser
gets a clothespin on their face.
We have to do an earring at the very least.
It's going to hurt though.
It's not going to hurt. It's all for fun!
(Let's see)
(Ouch!)
Let's do it. Rock, paper, scissors.
Rock, paper, scissors!
(Kyung-kyu wins the first round!)
(On the nostril)
Ah! Okay, hurry, hurry.
Rock, paper, scissors!
(Kyung-kyu wins again!)
Ah! Wait, wait. Hold on.
(Can't help but dance because of the clothespins...)
Rock, paper, scissors!
Kyung-kyu!
(Fear)
Let's go. Rock, paper, scissors!
(Finally Kyung-kyu loses!)
(Nervous and anxious)
(Finally getting a feel of the powerful clothespin!)
Alright. Rock, paper, scissors!
(One ordeal after another, Kyung-kyu loses!)
(Shock and fear)
(His face looks like it's going to explode)
Don't cry! Don't cry!
I almost cried.
Rock, paper, scissors!
I cried!
No more. No more, no more, no more. No more!
Ow, no more.
Ah! Okay no more now. No more.
Last time. One last time.
- Rock... - The winner gets to take it off?
No way! No one is taking off anything!
- Rock, paper, scissors! - Okay, we're done.
(Ho-dong loses)
(Eyes are shaking)
- Last! Last time! - No! No!
(No more!!)
(Why were we doing this...)
(I can't seem to remember...)
As the sunset dyed the sky in red...
Kyu-Dong became dyed with child-like innocence.
Oh this... This is...
What kind of tree is this again?
Baobao. Baobao, Baobao.
- It's not Baobao. - It's Baobab.
The tree is upside down, right?
This Baobak is...
The tree kept...
Bragging about how handsome he was.
So God flipped the tree upside down.
- So the root is on top. - Yeah, and told him to live like that.
There are some legends about it.
- What is this? What about this one, Kyung-kyu? - What?
- This tree? - Yes.
- Is this a snake? - No, it's not.
(The beanstalk from Jack and the Beanstalk)
Oh this is connected to something.
I think this is from a foreign fairy tale.
No matter how familial a dad might be, he probably won't know this fairy tale either.
When Snow White was little...
I have to go to the restroom, Kyung-kyu.
I need to pee.
There's a restroom over there.
The restroom!
- Oh I really need to pee. - Oh really?
Your prostrate must not be in good shape.
You have to pee so often.
(47 year old child Kang Ho-dong with a bad(?) prostrate...)
Oh my! It's so pretty!
Follow us, director!
(Getting an unexpected treat while peeing)
- It's so beautiful. - It is.
Isn't this Pinocchio?
Yeah. When he lies, his legs grow, right?
His nose grows, his nose.
(I'm sure it's his nose not his legs...)
It's not his legs that grow but his nose that grows...
Kyung-kyu, that house is a pinwheel house.
- Pinwheels everywhere. - All around the outside.
The name of this neighborhood, Songwol-dong, also has a connection
to the moon.
This place feels really foreign...
Having the meaning, "The moon seen between the pines is bright."
Songwol-dong.
This place that has gotten even brighter with the addition of fairy tales...
Even has a magical power to turn old men into children.
Hurry up.
You know this, right?
The Old Man with a Lump?
- What was this about again? - The Old Man with a Lump.
- He tried to get rid of his lump but got another. - Huh?
He tried to get rid of his lump but ended up getting another one.
Was that... supposed to be cancer?
No, no. It wasn't.
Ho-dong calls dibs on this house.
Because it looks even more child-like.
(They were just passing by...)
- I'm so sorry about that. - Hey, hey.
Are you... Are you okay?
I'm so sorry. Sorry about that.
I hit my head on the wall on my own.
You hit it on your own. Oh be careful.
Be careful, be careful.
Were you heading home...
After being expelled?
What?
What do you mean after being expelled?
- Expelled? - You mean after school?
They're going home after school. What're you saying to these kids?
- After being expelled? Were you guys expelled? - I'm so cold right now...
- Even if you're cold. - I'm a good MC, right?
No, you're just being stupid!
Asking if they've been expelled.
- What're you doing here? - To see Nam Joo-hyuk.
- Huh? - Nam Joo-hyuk.
- To see him? - Yes. - Then why'd you run into us?
- I'm not sure either. - We were just so excited.
We were wondering if it was you.
- Yes. - And so we followed you and we were like no it's not him.
Are you sure you're not my stalker fans?
No we're not!
Who's your favorite person?
- Who do you like the best? - Kang Ho-dong! Fighting!
It's possible that today...
Might've been like a fairy tale to these students.
Wow this really looks like a fairy tale.
Oh my! What is that?
- Alligator. - No, no. It's a dinosaur. - Oh it's a dinosaur.
What is that again?
- Was it archaeopteryx? - Archaeopteryx.
- The dinosaur's name is? - Yeah.
- The dinosaur is a bird? - No, it's a bird dinosaur. Archaeopteryx.
A bird that can't fly.
(Both their hearts and their minds are getting younger...)
Is this a playground?
Oh my!
Hi! Deer friends!
Hi!
Peek-a-boo!
Do you think we'll get dinner today?
(Always worried when dinner time comes around)
There's this saying in sports.
- A genius can't beat a hard worker. - Yeah.
A hard worker can't beat a person who enjoys himself.
And a person who enjoys himself...
Can't beat just one other person.
What kind of person?
A desperate person.
There's someone even more amazing than a desperate person.
No there isn't.
The person who gets lucky.
(Acknowledged!)
Getting lucky is the best.
Being desperate and enjoying life. That's not it.
After living all these years...
Being the luckiest person is the best.
You just have to get lucky.
What is that you do these days?
- Was it the "Knowing Brothers?" - Yes.
You got lucky on that, too.
It was really boring at first.
But then you got lucky.
- The kids there are waiting for you like hyenas. - Who are?
Because you lit a fire and angered them...
They've all become wild dogs.
They're all just burning with rage.
We don't have time to worry about other shows.
Tonight...
Will we get lucky?
Or will we not?
- Do you think we'll get lucky? - Nope! - Then?
We have to eat no matter what.
A compromised castle is a fallen castle.
Don't say things like that.
If you get compromised...
- We have to eat no matter what. - Don't memorize things and say them.
It's really weird.
(Failed to get lucky with a well-known saying)
They decide to ring the door bells of the Fairy Tale Village now.
Will they get lucky and receive
a fairy tale-like, happy dinner tonight?
(Starting to ring door bells - Current time 6:00 PM)
Alright. Fairy Tale Village.
But... the village... The Fairy Tale Village...
Is so quiet, Kyung-kyu.
There's no one home.
Kyung-kyu... It's past 6 now...
But out of 10 houses, only 1 of them have lights on.
90% of the houses have their lights off.
(They look for houses with lights on but...)
(Woof!)
(Let's take a look)
Kyung-kyu, look here, too. This is...
A house, too but...
Not even 10% of the people are home yet.
- Where's the fairy tale house? - Since it's a Fairy Tale Village.
Let's go to the fairy tale house first.
The fairy tale house.
They decide to ring the bells of the houses with fairy tales on them first.
The Old Man with a Lump! The Old Man with a Lump!
(They've discovered the house with "The Old Man with a Lump!")
- The Old Man with a Lump? - Should we try them? - Yeah, try them.
Okay Kyung-kyu. What do I say? Hello, I'm Kang Ho-dong.
- I'm the strong man. - I'm Kang Ho-dong.
This is a show where we eat dinner with people.
Could we possibly have dinner together?
- Yes. - Then that's it.
Or if they say "So what?" it's over, too.
(Hesitating)
(It's finally been pressed!)
(Will Kyu-Dong be able to get rid of the lump of worry of getting dinner?)
(It's finally been pressed!)
(Will Kyu-Dong be able to get rid of the lump of worry of getting dinner?)
(Listening carefully)
(He tries pressing it again)
(Looks around)
Yes?
Hello?
((Why're you talking to yourself?))
Let's go, let's go.
Didn't you hear a voice just now?
Was there a voice?
No one was home, right?
But why did I... Why did I...
Hear a person's voice?
(In an empty house...?)
(Kyu-Dong look for another house)
The light is on in the backside of the house though.
(Will we be able to eat this time?)
(Quickly~)
(Kyung-kyu doing something weird)
This is the stuff...
That Lee Soo-geun does.
Right?
Right? Soo-geun does comic stuff like this?
He needs to be scolded though...
How is there no one home?
Kyung-kyu...
I thought that the light was on but
it was just the color of the window.
But from over there, I thought the light was on.
The light wasn't actually on.
So that's just...
For some reason, Ho-dong is seeing and hearing things today...
Will this fairy tale turn into a nightmare starting now?
- I have $1.70 right now. - Okay.
- You have money, right? - Yes.
Since it's possible that we won't be able to eat.
Why aren't there any people around?
I know. That's why we have to be quiet.
- Should we go now? - Where's my money?
I'm sure it's somewhere.
Are you serious? You had these?
You punk. Really?
You were keeping your body warm like this?
You don't care at all.
It's just a hot pack...
I don't have a single hot pack on me.
Put up your hands.
Raise them up.
Hurry up and ring the door bell.
There's nothing. I don't do stuff like that.
Look. My nose has been blocked all day so I've been spraying this.
Isn't that sad?
What is this then?
What is it?
(A hot pack appears~!)
Why is this...
How did this...
What is this?
I'm learning so much from you.
- Let's go. - You knew...
That I was going to search you.
(The godfather of variety's thorough plan!)
(They start to look for another house...)
Let's go to a house with a fairy tale on it.
(The house with the fairy tale they had called dibs on)
And what a relief. This time the lights are really on.
Be careful, Kyung-kyu. They have a "beware of dog" sign.
Oh! It's a Jindo!
Try ringing the bell. Try it.
Ho-dong.
You try it.
But I'm scared.
The dog isn't scary.
(Yet he steps back)
(Press)
(Will they be able to meet a person this time?)
(Is no one home?)
- Who is it? - Oh yes, hello!
I'm the strongest man, Kang Ho-dong!
What are you doing here?
Yes, so we're uh...
- Shooting a show where we eat dinner together. - I see.
Have you eaten dinner by any chance?
(Please please)
I haven't eaten yet.
Then by any chance...
If you have leftover food...
Would you like to eat dinner with Kang Ho-dong and Lee Kyung-kyu?
Could you hold on? I'll go outside.
(Eyes popping out)
- Hello. - Yes, hello! Hello ma'am!
What brings you here?
Oh yes, hello!
Oh my goodness. It's Lee Kyung-kyu.
Yes, hello!
- Oh goodness. - We're here from JTBC.
- Oh my! It's good to see you. - Hello!
What brings you here?
Oh my goodness... What in the world...
But we have to go inside and eat dinner with you.
Ah... The food that I made?
Yes. We're not going out to eat.
So the food I made?
- Yes. - But the rice...
Isn't even fresh.
And the side dishes are lacking.
No! Not at all!
None of that matters.
Right now...
We brought a small TV case.
So we were in the middle of moving things.
Who's at home right now?
Just my husband.
Then could you ask him if it's okay for us to eat dinner with you?
You should ask the dog, too.
Our house is so shabby.
- It's okay! - It's completely fine with us!
- Please go and discuss with your husband. - Yes.
Okay.
Kyung-kyu.
This is the house of a veteran.
Oh really?
Wow.
- A veteran. - A veteran!
I thought...
That dog...
(Is she back?)
This is taking a long time, Kyung-kyu.
What if they're fighting?
Are you out of your mind? How could you decide that on your own?
We just have to feed them dinner.
What dinner? Tell them to leave!
But I said they could eat with us.
Why you...
- Kyung-kyu. - See. The dog is going crazy right now.
What if she doesn't come out?
(They're going crazy from waiting)
It's taking longer than expected.
It's already been like 10 minutes.
Since she went in...
(She finally came out!)
- Did you discuss things with your husband? - Yes.
What did your husband say?
(What will the result of talking to her husband be...?)
(We really want to join you...!)
He said it's okay.
Thank you so much!
(Please give Ho-dong a hug~)
Let's go inside, Kyung-kyu.
(Let's eat)
We'll be going inside now.
- Because we did it so quickly, the staff is really happy, too. - The crew?
The staff got so surprised and they were all saying, "It's over, it's over."
(Looking worried)
No, no! Just the two of us.
Only the two of us have to eat.
But what about them?
No, no. It's okay.
They already ate.
Only the two of us have to eat.
We'll be heading in now.
The door to a fairy tale really opened wide.
Now the adventures of Nils...
No, Kyu-Dong's Fairy Tale Village dinner exploration begins.
- Yes. - Of course. - Our house is so...
Goodness.
Hello, sir!
- Hello! - Yes.
We're...
From JTBC's "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
We were in the middle of moving... - Yes, yes.
- Our furniture so... - Oh my.
Oh thank you very much.
It's nice to meet you.
Oh goodness, sir.
Yes, I'm Kang Ho-dong.
What is this, sir?
Were these your decorations?
We were trying to switch these.
Oh you're changing the TV case?
We'll help you out.
Ho-dong actually...
Used to work for a moving company.
Okay so one! One, two, three!
What do we do about this?
- These are homemade alcohols. - I knew it.
Sir!
Do you like drinking?
No, he doesn't like to but our son-in-laws do.
- Ah... - They like to drink.
This one wasn't made too long ago.
- Yes, not that one. - It hasn't even been a month.
There's a hundred dollars worth of ginseng in there.
Sir, instead of eating dinner together. Hey Ho-dong.
- Yeah? - Let's just eat this and go.
"Let's Drink Together!"
"Let's Drink Together" instead.
Should I put this in there?
I'll put it away.
No, no. It's okay, we'll do it.
This one goes here. It fits perfectly.
- What is this? - It's cherry.
- Cherry? - We grew it ourselves.
Oh from your yard?
We have cherries, plums, persimmons...
Even jujubes.
And we don't use any pesticides.
- We have a lot of fruit trees. - You do have a lot of trees.
- Like... - Oh a persimmon tree!
- Peaches and jujubes. - It looks like a picture.
- A lime tree, a mulberry tree. - Wow...
(Jujube tree, persimmon tree, cherry tree)
(Peach tree, mulberry tree)
Filled with various different fruit trees...
A Secret Garden.
It looks like an orchard here.
- It's a small orchard. - We like things like this.
Where should we move this?
We're going to take it outside.
Should we take it outside?
- How will you move it? - We can lift it.
I guess you could take it outside.
Yes. We can.
You said we couldn't do it, but you changed your mind.
It's because he's sorry.
Because he's sorry?
Open the door for them.
One, two, three. Okay.
Alright.
When you come out, it'll be bad if you trip.
- Kyung-kyu? - Stop saying things like that and just go.
Alright, make sure to go over that.
This is extremely heavy, isn't it?
It's very heavy.
This is really no joke, sir.
We just have to make it out the door. There we go. We're good.
Oh my back...
- This is no joke, huh? - It's super heavy!
We have to go down though.
My back is about to break.
- Alright, let's lift it. - Oh sir!
The two of us will do it!
- It's okay, sir. - We'll do it together.
Okay we're going now. Ready, good!
Alright strong!
Man!
Strong!
- Man! - Man!
- Strong! - Slowly, slowly.
Slowly, sir. Slowly!
- Strong! - Man!
- Strong! - We're almost here now.
- Strong! - Where should we take this now?
Strong!
Alright, just have to put it down now. Good!
We're good now, Kyung-kyu.
(Completely exhausted)
Dang that was heavy.
Oh that was heavy.
After getting lucky like in a fairy tale,
they ended up getting caught in moving furniture.
We did a big deed.
With a lesson about how there's nothing free in this world,
Kyu-Dong's fairy tale begins.
Suddenly doing work without preparing myself...
Dang...
Kyung-kyu.
He has a huge family!
We took that during my 70th birthday party.
How many sons and daughters do you have?
We have only 3 daughters.
You're family rich in daughters.
Little Kyung-kyu is especially a good kid today.
Hey you!
- I want to give them some dried persimmons. - Oh yes.
The one on the inside.
This one's all black so it looks ugly.
Are these the persimmons...
- From your yard? - Yes, they are.
So it's all-natural?
We have a lot that are ripe right now.
You peeled them and dried them, right?
You peel them and then dry it?
Yes, we had to peel them ourselves.
This is devotion.
- This feels like a fairy tale. - It does.
(Kyung-kyu is excited like a child)
The characters of today's fairy tale are...
(Dancing)
The immature Kyu-Dong Brothers from Seoul...
And the warm-hearted and kind old couple
from the Incheon Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village.
(She takes out the side dishes that they already had)
(Carefully)
(The bean paste stew is boiling, too)
(Warming up the braised dried pollack as well)
- Where are you going? - To get the kimchi.
- Oh kimchi. - Don't we have some out already?
I'm getting the radish kimchi.
Ma'am.
You have to feed us what you normally eat.
- Yes, I can't making anything anyway. - Yes.
If we were to make side dishes now...
- It would take too long. - Oh, she already had some out.
Oh it wasn't in a crock?
I was going to put these in the fridge but I didn't have time to organize.
- Can I try one? - Of course.
Why do you...
It looks so good, Kyung-kyu.
Eat it in a bit.
Is it good?
- Ho-dong, go and help her out. - Yes.
She's preparing everything.
You know on the wall.
The painting that's on there?
What is the painting about?
- It's called "The Adventures of Nils." - Pardon?
- It's a fairy tale called "The Adventures of Nils. - Oh, "The Adventures of Nils."
"The Adventures of Nils" goes something like this.
Trouble maker Nils...
becomes a dwarf from a magical spell.
And as he went on adventures while riding a goose...
He slowly found his child-like innocence again and became a good boy.
It's a fairy tale that feels oddly similar
To the Kyu-Dong Brothers' journey today.
This is the finishing touch right here.
Tada!
Wow, what is this? Let me do it for you.
Wait, isn't this fish?
That's dried pollack.
You put dried pollack in bean paste stew?
Yes, we put in dried pollack and anchovies. We put in anything we have.
This is really unique.
It's going to overflow.
Wow even this looks...
It doesn't taste good though.
My husband bought this on a trip,
but it was so hard.
Ma'am, look here.
Look at how abundant this looks.
But none of it tastes any good.
I'm not very good at cooking.
- What show is this for? - Oh this?
You've heard of JTBC, right?
- The 2TV? - No, JTBC.
- Oh JTBC. - Yes, JTBC.
This is actually a new show.
The station that revealed everything about Choi Soon-shil...
(That would be "Newsroom"...)
Yes, yes. You're right.
This is a new TV show...
That's on JTBC.
Kang Ho-dong and I...
Ring people's door bells around dinner time.
And ask if we could eat dinner together.
If they say yes, then we come inside.
And eat dinner together. It's that kind of show.
(There's nothing else to talk about...)
(Hahahahahahaha)
- So do you watch the TV while you eat with your husband here? - Yes.
What's your favorite TV show?
Me?
What is it called again?
"Knowing Brothers?"
- Ma'am! - I really like you, Ho-dong.
It started at first with the handshake.
- The record you set. - For the Guinness World Records?
That was over 20 years ago.
I saw that, and starting from them I thought...
HE must be
a very hard working...
And diligent person. That's what I felt then.
And that's when I started to like you so much.
You know that was back in 1993 during the Daejeon Expo.
Yes, it's been a very long while.
- And it's 2016 right now. - Yes, yes.
Can I get a hug please?
Then going back 23 years from now...
That's when you...
On the other hand, the two men in the living room are...
(Are they practicing staying silent?)
(Awkward)
The father is getting bored out here.
- Talk to each other. - What?
There's nothing to say between men.
(Let's just eat dried persimmon since it's awkward...)
It's a relief that there are dried persimmons at least.
(Nom nom nom)
This is good.
Oh my goodness.
My husband has diabetes so...
We make rice like this.
This looks like medicinal cooked rice instead of normal rice.
Well...
Hey Ho-dong!
- Ho-dong! - Yes?
Can you stop talking? Is the food ready?
We'll be done in 5 minutes!
I'm really hungry.
What?
Hey Ho-dong.
One second, give me a second please.
The rice... Whoa what is that?
There's 9 different types of grains in here.
We'll talk about it while we eat then.
They had no idea that we were going to come today.
But they happened to make fresh rice today.
- I made it in the morning. - How great is that for us?
- You made it in the morning? - Yes.
Kyung-kyu, this is medicinal rice.
- We should call your husband over. - Yes, yes.
This is the dinner table of a couple living in the
Incheon Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village
who stopped in the middle of moving their furniture to open the doors to their home.
Multi-grain rice for the husband with diabetes.
And bean paste stew with dried pollack.
This is a healthy dinner table made
especially with the wife's heart.
We want to see what you normally look like
when you have dinner together.
- Have a seat, ma'am. - Yes.
(Shy)
- "Let's Eat Dinner Together." - Songwol-dong.
At the Fairy Tale Village.
We will now begin their real-life theater.
Cue!
Go ahead and eat.
(Let's Eat Theater: Dinner at the Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village)
You know... Jin-sun...
She said that next Saturday...
She's going...
To Gangwon-do.
- On Saturday? - Yes.
- She's going with them again? - Yes.
Always.
She's always following her kids everywhere.
I mean they keep asking to go, so she has to go.
I couldn't even go have fun on my own.
She didn't ask me to come?
You always said you didn't want to go so why would she ask you?
You never go, don't you?
We should go on vacations with the kids, too.
- But you only have fun with your own friends. - If I...
If I go...
They won't be able to have fun.
That's not true. You're their father.
It's nothing difficult.
Shall we... have a bit of the grape wine?
Sounds good.
I'll bring a bit of the grape wine out.
(He suddenly gets up)
(And gets the grape wine)
(Some of wine he's put aside)
Want me to pour it?
- Here. - Just a little.
(Pouring)
That's good, that's good.
- Let's do a cheers. - Alright, drink up.
Cheers.
I'm doing this so that you can...
- Live a long life. - I got it.
We'll live a long life and get into arguments.
Oh... That's yummy.
The two of you are...
- Do you... - Please have a seat.
Please stay seated.
- Have a seat. - How...
What were you talking about with your husband just now?
- We were... - Talking about our kids.
- This isn't even strong. - Yes, yes.
But do you normally...
drink some alcohol
while you eat dinner?
We do it every so often.
Ah I see...
Alright. Thank you for the meal.
Thank you for the meal.
Wow this rice is...
- Completely multi-grained. - This...
- Yes? - Has 9 different grains in it.
The dried pollack in the stew...
Yes, we normally add it to the bean paste stew.
Thank you very much.
We made the bean paste ourselves, too.
I may not be good at cooking but we live eating like this.
- It's really good. - You must really like dried pollack, sir.
- Yes, he really does. - There's braised dried pollack.
Yes, he likes it a lot.
I love seaweed.
Isn't it bland?
- You didn't season it at all. - You can eat it with the chili paste, too.
I'm sorry we dropped by so suddenly...
- No, not at all. - We're so thankful. - No, it's an honor for us.
- You could've been eating something so much better. - No, no. Not at all.
Sir.
Your wife...
She says that even though she can cook, it doesn't taste good.
Do you think...
That she's good at cooking or not?
I've been eating it up until now so...
- Right? - Yes.
- She's good at cooking, right? - Yes.
I mean I've just been eating it for 40 some years now.
Where is your hometown then?
It's in Chungcheong-do.
- I thought so. - Yes.
I'm from Cheonan and my husband is from Onyang.
The two of you are so fun.
That's not true. We bicker all the time.
After living together for a long time,
we get into fights all the time now.
When you get into arguments, who wins?
Does the wife win? Or the husband win?
My husband wins.
I'm sure the man would win.
Don't men lose these days?
If you keep fighting, there's no end to it, right?
How long has it been since you got married?
It's been forty... two years?
It's 42 years or 43 years.
- 42. - Our eldest is...?
41 years old.
Then it's been 42 years.
- 42 years? - Yes.
Did you date before or was it an arranged marriage? - It was arranged.
But did you like him from the start?
Yes. After seeing his face.
Being handsome is the best...?
- Based off of his looks? - He just had a good impression.
His facial features are very handsome.
What did you like about your wife?
- There isn't anything... - Back then...
I was in a rush so as long as I had a woman.
(Oh my oh my)
Why were you in a rush?
I was running out of time to get married.
- Pressure from home? - Yes.
I have twenty... eight at that time.
You were young.
Back then, everyone thought that way.
Then did you used to call her Soon-ja back then?
He couldn't even say things like that because he was too shy.
I just say "Hey!"
- Hey? - That's after we got married.
Instead of honey, he calls me hey.
Like "Hey look over here." I just say hey.
Because honey is still awkward to him.
Hey like hey look here.
So at that time, did you say Soon-ja...
Will you...
- Marry me? - Proposal?
- Did you ask her to be your wife? - Nothing like that.
No, we met each other and knew that we both liked each other.
- So we just... - Let's just do it. - Exactly.
I went to see her a few times.
And then we just set a wedding date and got married like that.
- So there was so proposal. - No, there was nothing like that.
I mean we liked each other, so we kept seeing each other.
(You just know even if no one says anything)
Then did you go on a trip before you got married?
No, we would just meet up.
We would rarely go on trips.
We really didn't even hold hands once.
- For a year. - What in the world.
- It's the truth. - After you got married?
- Before we got married. - Oh before.
We didn't even hold hands.
So you didn't have a first kiss either?
No, we had nothing like that.
After we got married, that's when...
She started linking arms with me.
Ah... That's interesting.
One time, my in-laws...
So he was up in Incheon because of work.
And I was still in Cheonan.
My mother-in-law kept calling me, asking me to go up
because her son was all by himself.
So I went up to Incheon.
And we were sleeping in a room together.
But if he even tried to touch my body,
I was going to run out of that place.
I'm being serious.
And I was so worried about protecting myself that
- the next morning. - Your body hurt?
It was more than just hurting.
I was in so much pain.
But he really didn't lay a hand on me and we just slept.
What about you, sir?
I mean I was exhausted then, too.
We were really like that.
We were really two virgins who got married together.
Without even kissing once,
and without a proposal.
These two exchanged wedding vows just by trusting one another.
And the two of them lived 42 years like this.
When it comes that, I'm very...
Then, ma'am.
Even if you were born again...
It's a really childish question but...
Would you marry your husband again?
- Let me tell you. - No, she wouldn't.
I...
Even up until 10 years ago.
I would say that even if I was born again,
I would still marry my husband.
You don't know how much I loved my husband.
But at some point, everything started to go awry.
And now I wouldn't marry him again.
- But ma'am... - When did things go awry?
He's someone who is very focused on his family.
But just slight differences in opinions...
Things that don't really matter.
We kept having these differences.
And I tend to be really inflexible so...
No, so as of recently.
- In the parks around our neighborhood. - Yes.
There are cats. And she loves animals so much.
So late at night.
She would go out to feed them.
I just go and feed them.
So we fight about things like that every day.
But to be honest.
I love animals so much.
I like flowers and animals.
You eat with flowers next to you.
Yes, we have so many vases.
You're a perfect fit to live in this fairy tale village.
- My personality is... - But whether it's cold or hot.
She goes out at night to do all that.
It's dangerous these days.
The world is a dangerous place.
Those cats were also born to live and eat on their own.
They'll live even if you don't feed them yourself.
But those are cats thrown away by humans.
It got thrown away and had to raise its babies by itself.
But I've seen cats starve to death from lack of food before.
Both unrelenting in their difference of opinions...
Time for the King of Communication, Ho-dong, to step in.
Ma'am, have you see that before?
You tell the other person your true feelings.
You tell then whatever hurt you and the other person says "I see."
So take your husband's hands first.
- Please take her hands. - Hold them up like that.
Tell her what you're upset about.
Tell her about going out at night to feed the cats.
You're not supposed to be doing that. They were all born to live and eat on their own.
- But humans threw them away. - Ma'am!
You listen until the end and say "I see."
Even if you don't feed them.
They have the ability...
To continue living on.
Because you keep feeding them.
The cats don't catch mice anymore.
They don't catch them anymore.
Ah... I see.
(Making up with laughter)
Now it's your turn.
You have to listen to me now.
You have to talk, too! Go back and forth.
It's not that I don't know that.
But humans threw away the cats and made the cats that way.
I've seen at least 3 cats die of starvation.
I thought I was going to go crazy from feeling sorry.
It was from then on that I started helping the cats.
- But the cats! - You have to say "I see." - Say "Ah I see."
- Oh? Is that so? - Yes.
You have to say, "I see" very nicely.
Say one last thing.
I feel so bad for the cats.
That's why I feel like I have to... I mean to be honest.
It's really scary going out at night.
- You know how scared I get. - You get scared so easily.
I see! Say I see!
Oh I see.
When to comes to these animals,
both of you have a solid arguments.
But both of you are also correct.
- That's true. - Both of you are saying the right thing.
(Just like the mother of this house...)
Oh right. How is Ye-rim?
Ye-rim just barely became 23 now.
I saw Ye-rim on TV on...
- "Ye-rim's Truck." - Yes, yes.
- I saw her there. - Kang Ho-dong is really...
When he exercises?
How could you cut us off when we were in the middle of talking?
- You're so cruel. - Yes, so Ye-rim.
She was saying she wanted to see my Ye-rim.
But you just cut her off.
Then can you praise Kyung-kyu for about 10 seconds?
- Praise me for what? - Anything she wants to praise you about.
When Lee Kyung-kyu gets angry and scolds people.
That temper of his. I like that so much.
I love that about him so much.
Because I can't get mad at people like that.
I think it's so cool when you get angry.
- I don't know what others may think. - Hey!
It's just so...
It's really your trademark.
- You're so cool. - Thank you for liking my angry side.
- Not at all. - Your temper is somehow getting praised.
Now that we're in a fairy tale village.
The oddest things are praised in the Fairy Tale Village.
I noticed that it said you were a veteran outside.
Did you go to Vietnam?
- Yes. - Were you a part of the Vietnam War?
I went as a part...
- Of the white tiger corps. - The white tiger corps?
I went to some dangerous places, too.
As our troops were rising up, all these bullets came flying.
At that time.
If there was a tree, a bush, a rock...
If there was anything.
You just had to hide there first.
How scary must that be, right?
When bullets are flying at you?
Hearing all of your husband's...
War stories must've made you cry a lot.
Well more so than crying, the thing
that my husband was the saddest about was...
If we had a son,
then he would tell our son
all his old stories very excitedly.
But we only had 3 daughters.
So my husband doesn't get excited about telling the stories at all.
- Someone needs to be hyping him up like this. - Yes.
Someone needs to give big reactions.
And kids need to carefully listen to his stories.
Asking "What happened? What happened?"
- But no one really cared. - Because they were all girls.
We're in the Fairy Tale Village.
- And we're listening to something like a fairy tale. - But it's really a true story.
- So we'd be on the boats... - He's starting.
- And we'd climb up. - If you're going to keep talking,
- I'm going to eat more rice if that's okay. - Yes, go ahead.
I'll get it. I'll get it, ma'am.
- Where is the... - So from there.
One of the guys...
- He was in search party troop. - Oh search party.
- Yes. - I told you to give big reactions.
So what happened, sir?
So you weren't sure if you'd live or not?
So I just felt...
As we were doing the initiation...
- The boat was floating away. - Yes!
That just made me feel so...
After receiving strength from Kyu-Dong's special reactions.
The tales of heroism were at their height.
- Oh I see them. - The grandchildren.
Say hi to your grandpa!
Hello.
She's our eldest granddaughter.
Oh the hamster is there, too?
Oh my goodness.
- They have a hamster? - Yes.
Everyone in the family stand up.
And get ready to bow to your parents.
Everyone get up.
- Alright. - Attention.
And say "Grandpa and grandma, stay healthy!"
Alright, ready, start!
Grandpa and grandma, stay healthy.
Stay healthy.
You have to bow your head.
(Full of smiles and laughter at seeing their granddaughters' cute bow)
- Sir, we need to take a picture. - Yes, we do.
- One! - Ma'am, you have to look pretty. Thank you, sir! Thank you!
Thank you very much.
Can you two get a little closer?
A little closer to each other please.
I love you, Kyung-kyu!
At the Incheon Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village,
the 5th house to give the brothers dinner was born.
This is Gwanghwamun, right?
(The place where the people's sentiment became one)
(Till my last breath, to suffer not any blot of shame on looking up at the heavens)
(My heart has been tormented even by the rustlings of leaves - Yoon Dong-joo)
(The two men's destined mission: Become a poet)
(After following the poems, history appeared)
(Grandpa(?)...)
(And after following history, hope was found)
(I'm sorry I came so late)
(But the problem is...)
(A Star Lost(?) in the Night)
(A Starry Night!)
The star isn't lost and confused.
(1st place in games)
(It's a concept)
(Don't really look down on me!)
(And they're still just as cold and hungry)
(A very long road of studying(?))
(Like fate, the two poets)
(Come face to face with the door bell)
(Ah... Why do I feel so embarrassed?)
(Being faced with self-reflection in front of a door bell)
(Ding dong~)
(Who is it?)
(We're... uh... from a TV show)
(A TV show)
(... Which show?)
(In the end, the poets become unable to speak)
(The journey for two poets to find their words)
(Let's Eat Dinner Together)
We came to this Fairy Tale Village.
And we really...
We got to hear a lot of legend-like stories.
Ah Kyung-kyu, really...
A fairy tale-like dinner in the Fairy Tale Village.
Just like how Nils went on an adventure because of a magical spell.
What if Kyu-Dong had also been under a magical spell?
And what if the magical spell hasn't been undone yet?
Because sometimes, things that happen in fairy tales
also happen in real life.
Maybe even to us.
(Would you like to eat dinner with us?)
