- (Narration) This is a waiting room at JTBC.
Just for today, we have installed hidden cameras.
Kyu-Dong, unaware of this, will prepare for their filming as usual.
Let's take a look at their usual selves in the waiting room.
- Did you come?
- Hello.
- When it turns Wednesday...
- The Wednesday blues.
- It's the Wednesday blues.
- When it turns Wednesday, it becomes cold.
- Oh, I'm cold.
- (Narration) Kyung-kyu lies down.
- Hello.
- Are you going to wear long johns?
- Let's wear them.
- Don't wear them.
The cold will continue...
- I came here wearing one.
- (Narration) The Kyu-Dong brothers wear long johns.
It's March right now.
- Long johns help keep in 1, 2 degrees of body warmth.
- Kyung-kyu.
I was here to meet PD Chi-kyung, and I heard you guys were here.
What's this?
- Aren't you our guest?
- Me? No.
- You are, right?
I came to film for tvN.
- I heard Chi-kyung was here.
Why? I'm not.
- No.
- You're the guest, but you're trying to pretend you're not.
- What did you come to film today?
- Me?
- Yeah.
- I told you I'm here to film for tvN.
But I met Chi-kyung because of my schedule.
- Yeah right.
- I know.
- You're acting skills have gotten bad.
- Our guest was Yong-man.
- Ugh, this won't do.
I should go.
If it's like this, I won't do the show.
- (Narration) And they don't fall for anything.
- It's like this.
There's no warm air about this at all.
What is this?
- (Narration) He is our guest.
Kim Yong-man joins Gyu-Dong today for a meal.
- Is it just you?
- I don't know.
- It can't be just you.
- Why?
- Ho-dong, I'm a jewel.
- How embarrassing.
You're so embarrassing, Yong-man.
- Kyung-kyu.
- Kyung-kyu, you worked with Yong-man a lot, right?
- We did.
- We are a combo.
- You guys did Sunday Night.
- Sunday Night, Health Exemplar.
- Great Challenge.
- We did variety shows in Korea for half a century.
- That's right.
I didn't work much with Yong-man.
- Because we were on different TV stations.
I was usually at MBC, and you worked a lot with KBS and SBS.
- This time, experience Ho-dong.
- Ho-dong?
- There's a saying. How tiring.
Let's hurry and leave.
- Leave where?
- We should get along.
- Really?
- Go to Bukchon and have dinner.
Bukchon.
- Even within the four gates of Seoul, Bukchon is where the dignitaries lived.
There are hanok, the traditional Korean housing.
- Don't use words like dignitaries. Ho-dong hates it.
- I see.
The ones who were well off.
- He suddenly looks classy.
- (Narration) That's right.
The Bukchon Hanok Village in Gye-dong of Jong-no district, Seoul, home of the dignitaries.
It is the central area of the old Han-yang, located on the south-facing slope
that connects Mt. Bugak and Mt. Eunbong.
Named because it is located north of Jong-no,
Bukchon includes administrative districts from Insa-dong to Sam-cheong-dong.
Keeping 500 years of history, the traditional hanok and modern buildings
harmoniously make up the Bukchon Hanok Village.
In this area where the the royal family and noblemen of the Joseon Dynasty lived,
what kind of people is living here now?
Let's Have Dinner Together, Episode 23. The Inside Story of Hanok.
- Hey, let's go.
- Since we've met old friends,
let's do things the old way, then.
1, 2, 3, and just jump.
- What's with the jump?
- Please jump once.
At 1, 2, 3.
- Why:?
- All you need to do is jump.
- That's...
- Go, go, go.
1, 2, 3.
Oh my, oh my.
Where did we fall from?
- He's the exaggerating type, huh?
He overdoes things.
- You shouldn't react to these things.
- I see.
- When he overreacts like this,
just be like, I see.
- I was wondering why you walked so fast.
He acts like that.
- Because he acts like this.
- Let me just say this, Kyung-kyu.
Just this.
- What?
- You know how we learn from our failures?
- Kyung-kyu, he's talking. Stop.
Or just walk around here.
Why do you keep going?
-When I missed the golden time during the first half of 7 PM,
it became really difficult last week.
- Aha, the first half.
- So, Kyung-kyu.
- We shouldn't go over to the second half.
- During the second half, the people have all finished eating.
- There's no need to explain about what you'll be finding out later.
- This is the problem.
- Because I failed last week...
- This is the problem.
- Don't you see I learned a precious lesson through my failure?
- Go.
- How do you guys work together?
- I really don't want to go.
I won't go.
Seriously.
I really don't want to go.
Wow~.
There's no regard for the guest, and they just go by themselves...
This show is weird. - What guest?
- Where's the other guest?
- Take care of me.
Take care of me.
Hey, Ho-dong.
Take care of me.
- Yong-man, I'm going to take care of the other guest.
There's one more guest.
- There isn't another guest.
Why would there be one?
Bukchon.
- Have you been to Bukchon a lot?
- Here's Chang-gyeong Palace.
Isn't this Bukchon?
I feel like we're doing two different shows.
You guys work separately.
- Why do you go to Bukchon, Yong-man?
- Because I like taking pictures and such.
- Just personally?
- That's right.
And I like taking walks.
So Bukchon is very...
- Then you must have taken a lot of pictures while resting.
Yong-man.
- Hey, do you want to do this show or that?
Let's just do this one.
Let's go somewhere first.
- Do this.
Chang-gyeong Palace.
- (Narration) Today, Yong-man is having a unique experience
of doing two different shows on one show.
- What do we need to tap here?
- (Narration) Anyway, the old-timer MCs are heading to an old neighborhood.
Where should we tap?
- Come on...
This is not good for the viewers to see, Yong-man.
- Edit this out.
- Edit what out? It's already on air.
- Don't do that.
My generation used bus tokens.
She's hiding her face and we're...
- Right, Yong-man.
We're sorry.
- Should we sit on the other side?
- Then, let's...
- Should we sit in the back, Kyung-kyu?
- Where should we sit?
- She doesn't want to film. Do you have to go sit next to her?
Do you want to switch seats with me?
- Oh my gosh.
- Hello.
- (Narration) You've been fooled this time.
Hani of EXID.
The optimum guest to offset the gloomy old-timers.
- I fooled you all completely.
- Were you fooled?
- Wait, Ho-dong.
You're so different from when I came out.
When I came out, you were like, Yong-man, aren't you the guest?
Here, you're like, oh my gosh.
What's with you?
- You're from a girl group, right?
- Yes.
- Which girl group?
- A girl group called EXID.
- Don't talk.
- EXID.
- Don't talk.
- You've heard of EXID, right?
- Isn't EXID the best?
- What's their signature song?
- Exit.
- Up, down. That's a hint.
- Up, down, up, down. Isn't this it?
- Uptown?
- Up, down... Do you know?
- It's that.
Up, down, up, down.
Up, up, down.
Up, down, up, down.
- You need to monitor the shows, Kyung-kyu.
- You even filmed an ad with the song.
- I sang that song.
- That's right.
- Up, down, up, down. - That's right.
- That was you.
- Up, down, up, down.
I think she might not know who you are.
- Hani?
- I saw you a lot on TV when I was little.
- When you were little?
This is how it is.
- Yong-man eating rice cakes~.
- Yong-man eating rice cakes?
That's right.
Besides that, what do you remember me by?
- We were on a show together before.
- You and I did a show together?
I'm sorry.
Where do you live?
- I live in Guui-dong.
- That's my favorite area.
Gooey-dong...
- He's totally out of it.
He said Gooey-dong.
Hani, do you know Bukchon?
- No.
This is my first time going.
- Really?
- Yes.
- (Narration) Three old-timers and young Hani
have arrived at Bukchon, where past and present mingle.
- Climbing up the Nam-Han-San-Seong...
- Kyung-kyu.
- Your outfit is very fancy today.
- I paid extra attention to it.
- You did?
- (Narration) Two shows simultaneously.
Let's Eat Dinner Together, a show with an advanced concept.
- Wow, this is nice.
- It's well over March, and it's still cold like this.
- This is week is that.
- Yeah, the cold is added on.
- Cherry blossoms.
- The cherry blossom snap.
- It's cold today.
- It is.
- The cherry blossom snap.
- The cherry blossom snap...
Thanks.
- In fact, when I was 20 years old, this place...
It's strange because Ga-hi is here, but...
- What?
- Ga-hi.
- Isn't it Ga-hi?
- Hani, Hani.
- Hani...
- Who's Ga-hi? You surprised me.
- How do you host a show like this?
- I'm sorry to say this when Hani is here.
I cam here a lot to ask out women.
- Around here?
Because the ancient palace is here.
- (Narration) Young Kyung-kyu had come to look for love here
at Bukchon, where they are now here today to look for a meal.
- This is the beginning of this neighborhood.
Hanok and those roof tiles.
- Wait.
- This kind of houses appear.
- These are old roof tiles too.
- That's right.
It starts from here.
- Yong-man, then these roof tiles must be over 100 years old.
Just looking at these roof tiles, right?
- That's right.
They kept these roof tiles in tact.
- But Yong-man, here and there...
They've built hanok like that.
- There are a lot of those.
Guest houses.
- That's right, guest houses.
- For the visiting foreigners.
- There are many guest houses. - They experience the hanok.
- Yong-man.
After the dark and cold winter, the flowers are about to bloom.
- There he goes again.
- Those phytoncides.
- Phytoncides.
He's starting again.
- You need to know the origin of phyton from phytoncide.
- That's right. - Phytoncide means to kill. You know, the weird microorganisms
on your body? They kill those various germs.
That's what phytoncides are.
- That's why there are green showers.
- Kyung-kyu doesn't react to these talks, huh?
- He always talks about phytoncides. Why should I?
- This also feels...
These aren't doors we can just pass by.
- There are a lot of those at the Folk Village.
- But still, these doors has energy... - There are more inside.
Ho-dong, come here.
There are more inside.
We need to lead him like this.
- You just need to stay still.
- You're doing a weird show.
There's a show within a show.
- (Narration) Between Kyung-kyu TV and Ho-dong TV,
old-timer Yong-man is troubled.
- A bathhouse.
Wow, that looks about 100 years old.
- No, no.
- There were many signs like this long ago.
- That's right.
- Let's take a bath.
- What?
- Let's go take a bath.
- This isn't it, Kyung-kyu.
- This is a store selling glasses.
- This is unique.
I guess they just didn't get rid of the bathhouse sign.
- Hello.
- They said it was a bathhouse.
- Can we film in here?
- Bathhouse?
- What does it say?
- Past and present coexist.
Thus we retain the bathhouse's originality and reenact the concept of 'Created Preservation.'
- Look at this.
- For room business...
- Look over there.
There are tiles.
- A long time ago...
- Let's talk one at a time.
They haven't damaged the old bathhouse.
There's something meaningful.
- This is so pretty.
- My favorite word is...
My favorite word is...
- Now you drag me out to talk. Nobody listens to you, huh?
- I've never heard of created preservation.
- We were supposed to preserve it but didn't up until now.
- Look around.
- There's a sauna room over there.
- Ugh.
- Bukchon is fun.
- You need to point this out.
He's gone.
This guy is gone.
Kyung-kyu.
He's always been wanting to go during filming.
He always said that.
Kyung-kyu...
- Wait, wait.
I wonder what he'll do if we just left.
Let's just pass by.
- Maybe he'll just come along...
- I think you should get up now.
- No, this is a concept.
Sauna.
- (Narration) Like this eyeglasses store that preserved the old bathhouse,
Bukchon is where the old and new coexist.
- We can see things like this because we're in this neighborhood.
Don't you want to try living in a house like this later?
- No.
- Not at all?
He doesn't react at all.
- I want to try living there.
- Everyone's an attacker.
- I want to try living there.
- There are no passes here.
- There are many pretty things.
- The buildings are cute, aren't they?
These things.
- This is a really nice place to hang out.
- What does that fallen leaf mean?
- Do you know why leaves fall?
- Because they die.
- The tree doesn't provide water.
So the leaves die and fall.
- It's to prepare for the coming winter.
- Do you know?
- I do.
It's so the tree can survive winter.
- You need to read about this to know.
- Let's wait for them here.
What are you doing?
- Let's sit.
What are you doing?
- Let's sit.
We have to wait 10 minutes for him to come.
- I'm getting teary-eyed.
This man was doing a show like this.
This is because you're waiting for Ho-dong.
How stifling.
Kyung-kyu.
Are you cold?
Are you looking for somewhere warm?
- It's cold. Come in.
Ah, it's warm.
- (Narration) Yong-man is sad to see Kyung-kyu like this.
- How unique.
- Wow, this is amazing.
Hani, Hani.
Hani, look from this angle here.
Imagine there's no one and look.
That tree.
The feeling...
- I'll wrap things up and bring them here.
- Yong-man, isn't this tree so pretty from this angle?
- Like this.
- So pretty.
Look over here.
Look from here.
This angle.
Look over there.
Isn't that pretty?
- Don't look there. Look over here.
Look at Kyung-kyu.
He was in there.
- Because he was cold.
We're sorry, we were quite late, right?
- (Narration) The quartet who would disperse when together
have fortunately entered into the heart of the hanok village.
- Let's go this way, Kyung-kyu.
There are many houses in this alley.
There's no doorbell here.
The hanok don't have doorbells.
Does this have one? - Come this way.
- Here is the bell.
These places have people living in them.
There's a bell.
- What does 'come this way' mean exactly, Yong-man?
- It means to come this way.
- In Gyeong-sang dialect, it's different.
- That's right.
It's like that.
I reacted to this.
- Come this way.
In Gyeong-sang province, it's this way.
- I somehow reacted to this.
Kyung-kyu can't leave.
I reacted to it wrong.
You just asked.
Hey.
- What's written here?
- Huh?
- Bu-mo-cheon-nyun-su.
May the parents live 1000 years and the descendants prosper 10,000 years.
A long time ago, they wrote these on their doors for the family.
- What's this place?
- This neighborhood is very charming.
- (Narration) Perhaps things of the past are the most trendy.
Insisting on preservation rather than the easier redevelopment,
Bukchon is a precious neighborhood that has kept its original class.
- The stairs are also antique.
- They preserved this.
- They put in efforts.
- Because the city has kept them from building up,
they reinforced the software within the city.
So when you go into this kind of small town,
there are many pretty places like this.
- I mean, the two of you.
Why do you guys talk to me
as if you two are on a knowledge battle?
- No, it's not that. Look.
Who lives there?
They are all our ordinary neighbors.
- That's right.
- When we go in, they're people just like us.
- Don't nudge me.
- I'm talking.
- Oh my gosh.
I can't film with these two guys.
- He's a funny guy.
- Kyung-kyu, why do you keep
trying to make an emotional statement?
- Watch him later.
Ding dong, ding dong.
If you have any leftovers, do you want to eat together?
We can have rice with cold water.
In this cold winter, who eats rice with cold water?
- Isn't that a good expression?
It means the side dishes...
- The guests are here to hear you guys complain.
- What expression is better than that?
Say something.
Is it wrong?
- Who nowadays eats rice with cold water?
- Here.
Both of you.
- We're doing questions and answers.
- I'm Hani.
- Everyone's running the show individually.
- Let's listen to Sun-hee.
- Hani.
- Say something.
- He calls her Ga-hi and then Hani.
- The staff has started to talk with me.
They're telling us to go up.
How frustrating.
Go this way?
Everyone has their own style.
- Not go up but come this way...
We're not communicating properly.
- (Narration) When gathered in one place, it's a mess.
- Oh my, how funny.
- Here...
-Yong-man.
- They're working on something.
- Ho-dong went in.
- He went in again.
- If you don't mind,
are you studying this right now?
- It's an old document.
We're reading an old document.
- You're interpreting it.
Is this the original document?
- Yes, it is.
Over 100 years ago.
- Over 100 years ago.
- Sir, then are you communicating with 200 years ago?
With 200 years ago?
What does it say?
- 200 years ago, the mayor is emphasizing education.
To foster intellectuals and talents.
- 200 years ago and the present are meeting together
and communicating with each other.
Thank you.
- He's the top specialist in Korea.
- I'm not a specialist in this area,
but I think I'm emotionally sensitive.
I can feel how this man felt when he wrote this 200 years ago.
- Right.
- I feel something spark within my body.
- You're sensitive.
- I think so.
- Sir, we've enjoyed our time here.
- We've learned many things.
I have that sensitivity.
Hani, I have this chilling sensitivity.
When I think of how someone would've written on that paper
200 years go, I get teary-eyed.
- Cry, then.
Isn't that pretentious of you?
- But I don't get tears in my eyes.
I cry with my heart, so I wipe here.
My heart cries.
- Is it mastitis or what?
Did you have seaweed soup?
- So...
Amazing.
- This is a piece of art too.
To have left this open like this.
- Let's go.
- How stifling would this have been if it was blocked?
Hani...
- He talks whenever he sees something.
I think I know Ho-dong now.
I know how to cut off Ho-dong.
When I see his eyes, I can't.
- You can't if you see him in the eyes.
- When I look at him in the eyes, I just can't.
I'm older than him, and I still can't.
If I look at something else, I can cut him off.
- Just listen with one ear and let it out with the other.
- Yong-man.
Yong-man.
- Yes, yes.
- If someone was to make this, would they make it like this?
Of course they would. Come here.
They would.
Some person made that.
- If someone was to make that into a pretty flower...
- Since I'm not seeing him, I can cut him off.
- (Narration) Skilled Yong-man has finally found out
how to deal with Ho-dong's love for talking.
- Wow, this is really pretty.
- Look at the size of the tree.
It's amazing.
- This tree is really huge.
- This tree...
- What tree is this?
- This is...
- He wants to make this work but can't right now.
- This tree guards this place.
- This is sort of fun.
You are broadcasting Ho-dong's show next to me.
How many stories would this tree have held for 300 years?
You have come here to film.
That's what it's saying.
- Who is?
- This tree.
Can't you feel this tree talking?
- Can you feel it?
- It saying good luck with the filming.
- It's saying to hurry up and leave.
- That's right.
Ho-dong, shall we go now?
- (Narration) After finishing talking with the tree, the beautiful alley opens up.
- This is so pretty.
- Kyung-kyu, it's this alley.
This is the main alley.
- This is so pretty.
- Picture-wise, this is today's footage.
- It's fascinating to see foreigners walking around wearing the hanbok.
- The bamboo leaves
- This is tiring.
How tiring.
This scenery is nice.
The scenery here is nice.
- Like this.
- Stand here.
- The view's nice here.
- They've invited us and taking pictures of their own faces.
How can you do this?
Hani and I were like this trying to be in the picture.
You guys are mean.
Take a better picture.
Did it come out?
- (Narration) Even in pictures, the quartet is not gathering together.
By the way, something feels strange.
- Look over here.
Please be quiet. People are all living here.
- They're all occupied houses.
- But there are only visitors here.
I don't think I've seen a single resident.
In this alley.
- That's right.
- I don't see any houses we could visit.
- This is a studio.
These houses aren't residences.
- I know.
- This is some corporate.
We need to find residences.
- Did they all leave this place?
- Because it's noisy?
Kyung-kyu.
This area might not work.
- They could be tired of visitors.
- Right.
- The noises...
- That's right.
- I feel like they won't be home a lot. - Right, right.
This might be hard for us.
- (Narration) Explorations have ended with a gloomy foreboding.
The time has come even at Bukchon, where time rests.
- It's suddenly snowing.
- 5 PM and 6 PM are so different.
Within 30 minutes, it has become another season.
- I know.
- Normally, in early March, you catch a cold with the last cold snap.
Hani, you look cold.
- I'm alright.
- But what's important is...
- Talk softly.
- Today, it's a bit...
- Let's lower our voices than usual.
- But because these are hanok.
- You need to see this.
It's this way.
- This way...
- Hey, I...
- Do you know what word I use the most in this show?
- What?
- Don't do it.
Don't do it.
- It's this expression.
- Just don't do it.
Stop it.
It's a song.
- Kyung-kyu, I won't let you say that today.
Let's go.
- But Kyung-kyu, should we start with Yong-man?
- Do we start right away?
- We should.
- We haven't officially succeeded at the first house
at the first attempt yet.
- But I'm good at that.
What Kyung-kyu and I like to do is
to not film too long but do it with impact.
So we're fast when it comes to this.
We're good.
Can we go in first?
- You have the know-how to success?
- I usually just end things.
Can I?
- But we've never succeeded.
Try it.
- This makes me nervous.
- Now, focus.
Because this is a hanok, we need to give them time
to walk out and answer the doorbell.
- Of course.
- They must be lying down or something.
- We have to hurry and go when it's a no.
- This doesn't work.
For apartments, you can check and see if the lights are on.
You can't see the lights here.
- That's what hanok is like.
- Food, food, the smoke.
- This is not a hanok.
Pass this kind of houses.
Let's try hanok.
- Are you in a situation to choose?
- No, Kyung-kyu...
- I pressed the bell.
- It's for the show.
- I pressed it.
- Let's try the hanok.
- Hello?
Hello...
- I didn't hear anything being pressed.
- There's no one home.
- Maybe it's because so many people press the doorbell.
- The fathers are now coming home form work.
- Hello.
- Yes, hello.
Now we're seeing residents.
I'll try this house.
- This place is doing braised short ribs.
- Show your face.
-Hello?
- Yes, hello.
- Hello.
I'm comedian Kim Yong-man.
Yes?
- So what?
- Yes, sir, nice to meet you.
Are you watching Carefree Travelers?
- I can't hear you.
- I see.
Nice to meet you.
I came to Bukchon and was wondering if I can
talk about this and that at your home, and if you haven't eaten yet,
if you could have dinner with me.
- Is it that show called Have Dinner?
- Yes, yes. That's right.
Do you know the show Let's Have Dinner Together?
- We just ate.
- Oh, you did?
It's just past 6 PM.
- We have a student at home.
- Oh...
Thank you for telling us.
- We enjoy the show.
I think it's a very warm show.
- Yes, thank you.
- Thank you.
- There are people home though, even if we can't tell from the outside.
- This house?
This house has a camera.
- The lights are all on inside.
- There's someone home too.
- This house has a high chance of success.
- Pass, pass, pass.
- The lights are on inside.
- They're not answering.
- Sir, sir?
- Okay, okay.
Is it a hanok?
- Hani.
Where is she?
- It sounds nice.
- Am I not lucky today?
- It worked.
- This place has a cool breeze.
- I'm curious what it's like inside the hanok.
- There's no one home.
- There's no one home for Ga-hi...
They're not answering.
- Kyung-kyu, it's Hani.
- There's no one home for Hani.
- Change your name just for this show.
- To Ga-hi.
- He called you Ga-hi 10 times.
- This is ...
Hey Ho-dong, have etiquette.
Would someone be home right now?
Would there be someone at home?
- You can't open this door from the inside.
- You do it.
You do it.
- It's your turn.
- You put in extra care.
- Sir!
Hello.
- Hello.
- Up, down.
Up, down, up, up, down.
I'm Hani from EXID.
- Is someone talking from the other side?
- Do you know me?
- Yes.
- Then would you have...
- Dinner with me.
- Dinner with me?
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry...
- Would you have dinner with me...
- Let's go to the next house.
- Hey, Ga-hi. I mean, Hani.
- Oh, really.
- Are you doing that on purpose?
- With a sincere heart.
- Stay here.
Up, down, up, down.
Up, down.
Up, up, down.
- There you go.
- It sounds good.
- The time passes really fast.
- This girl...
She has something about her.
It's not going to work for her today.
- Why are you saying that just after a couple of failures?
- That's why nobody's coming out.
- It's just she's not having luck.
- (Narration) Is there really something about her?
- I'm so curious what the inside of the hanok looks like.
- There's nobody.
- (Narration) The area is so picturesque, but there's no one.
- Kyung-kyu, there's no one home.
There must be no one home.
One more time.
- Sir.
- Let's go to the next house.
- There's something about her that nobody's coming.
- Wait, don't keep saying that to a female junior.
Now it doesn't matter if it's a hanok or not.
- Now, Hani.
Try once, Hani.
- Hani, pray.
- Please let us be able to eat.
- There's a chance.
- It's not even making a sound.
- It's not making a sound.
- We tried over 10 houses...
- Someone's home.
- Who is it?
- Say excuse me.
- Hello!
- There are people.
- This is it.
- Hello, I am...
An elderly?
- Hani, it's alright.
- I'm a celebrity called Hani.
- A celebrity.
- Mister Kang Ho-dong is with me too.
- What mister?
Sir!
Ma'am.
- She's coming out.
- Hello.
Are you a student?
- Yes.
- You're not an elderly.
- No.
A high school student?
- No, a college student.
- Are you in college?
Then how about your parents?
- They're out right now.
- Are you at home by yourself?
- Yes.
What do you think we're doing right now?
- Filming.
- What are we doing...
- This is a show where we eat together.
We go inside your house.
- There's nothing at home.
- You don't?
Does nobody live around here?
- No, not a lot of people live here.
- Why?
- People don't live here?
- What?
- Not a lot of people live in this area?
- Why?
- It got too noisy with the tourists, so many moved away.
- Oh my, are most of the houses empty?
- Yes.
- No wonder.
- Then what should we do?
- What year are you in college?
- A sophomore.
- Do you have a boyfriend?
- Hey, why do you ask that?
- Because she's such a beauty.
Don't you meet a boyfriend at this hour...
- We're sorry, please go in.
- Hurry up.
- Thank you, goodbye.
- You must be frustrated.
- How frustrating for you.
He really doesnâ??t know how to stop talking.
- (Narration) What's more serious than Ho-dong's love of talking
is that most of the residents have left Bukchon.
- Was there a place like this?
- When we visited Yeom-Ni area, everyone had moved out.
- I think for Bukchon,
there's a high chance of failure.
- (Narration) Tourists from all over the world came to see the beauty of hanok
but reality is that the residents of Bukchon left because of them.
This is the inside story of Bukchon we are facing today.
- Wow, look, all the lights are off.
- Isn't that so pretty?
- It's not pretty. All the lights are off...
What's pretty is the Namsan.
- (Narration) Evening at Bukchon is darker than the lights in the distance.
- Kyung-kyu is doing something strange.
- Just leave him alone.
- You both say to leave each other alone...
- To leave me alone?
To leave me alone?
- Keep it in, keep it in.
Keep it in.
- Leave me alone?
- Keep it in.
Can we eat in a situation like this?
- Sure.
- In this situation?
- We once went in at 7:53.
- Really?
- Hani.
- We need to trust our luck to the very end.
- I don't think we need to insist on a hanok now.
- Of course.
We're not a place to choose.
- There's no one.
The lights are off here too.
These houses won't work?
- Why not?
- There's no one home.
Wow...
- It seems like Bukchon is the most difficult.
- Am I possessed with the ghost of Ga-hi today?
- It's our turn.
Our turn, our turn.
Ho-dong, come here.
- I pressed it.
- It's our turn.
- Our turn, our turn.
Yes, our turn.
Ho-dong, come here.
- I pressed here.
- Hurry, we don't have much time.
- Hello?
- Yes?
- Ma'am, hello.
- Yes.
- I'm comedian Lee Kyung-kyu.
- Oh, yes.
- Do you see me, ma'am?
- Yes, yes.
- Yes, ma'am.
It's really cold.
- But we already ate.
- She knows it's us.
- Ma'am, did you eat?
- Yes.
- Why did you eat so early today?
- We have kids at home.
- Oh, you have kids at home.
- What did you eat, ma'am?
- We had curry.
I really like curry.
- It's good if you have curry with kimchi. - I know.
- Everyone ate, right?
- If you hadn't eaten, would you have opened the door for us?
- Oh, yes...
- Thank you.
- She's saying to go.
- I suddenly want to have curry.
- Did we try here?
- Try it.
- This is that place with the old tree.
- Yes, it is.
The pagoda tree.
- Look at the energy of this tree.
It's amazing.
- Wow, this tree is really huge.
We might have connections with this place.
- The pagoda tree house.
That's from Seong-am county...
- Hello.
- Yes.
- It's a student.
- Do you know me? I'm a celebrity called Hani.
- Yes, yes.
- Do you know me? Thank you.
Did you have dinner?
- I didn't yet.
- You didn't yet. Then could you perhaps
have dinner with me?
- Dinner?
- Yes.
- Um...
Yes, yes.
- Oh!
Now, now...
Explain properly.
We're on a show called Let's Have Dinner Together.
- We're on a JTBC show called Let's Have Dinner Together.
Kang Ho-dong and I are on the same team,
and could we go in and eat dinner together?
Can we?
- Yes, yes.
- Oh!
- He said yes.
- Inside the house.
- This tree.
- Did you see our show?
- This is amazing. It really works like this.
- You just got discharged from the army?
Then could you open the door for us?
- He's just been discharged.
So he hasn't watched our show much but still opening the door for us.
- This tree...
This pagoda tree.
- This tree...
- Wait.
Wait.
You guys did that house, and now it's our turn.
- You just pressed that bell.
- When did we do that?
- At the curry house.
- You did the curry house.
- We did the curry house.
- You were cooking. - Amazing.
- How about your parents?
- They're not home.
- Your parents aren't home?
- What's this?
- We're running a guest house.
- A guest house.
- Do you have guests right now?
- There's no one.
- Wait, wait.
Is a guest house okay or not?
- It's a residence, Yong-man.
- You've done it. I'm jealous.
- Do you like EXID?
- Yes.
- Did you like them during military service?
- Yes, I did.
- 1, 2, 3, 4.
- Up, down, up, down.
- Ho-dong, we don't have much time.
- Good luck.
- At 7:15.
- Thank you.
- It's so pretty.
- It's a precious house.
- Kyung-kyu, this is miserable.
Wow, see how the staff splits.
The staff splits in half...
Kyung-kyu.
- Is the tree in front about 300 years old?
- About 300 years old.
- 300 years old?
- We talked about that tree a lot before,
saying that it had good energy.
- Hani, look at this.
It's shaped like this.
This is the guest room, the servants' quarters...
How pretty.
- The house is so pretty.
- When did you get discharged from the army?
- It's only been a week.
- Only a week?
- Then your body and mind are still that of a soldier.
- You saw Hani of EXID in the military,
and now she rang the bell. You must have been surprised.
- I was.
- Was she the idol you most wanted to meet?
- Yes, really.
- But what's with the apron?
- Apron.
- What were you doing?
- I was doing the dishes before eating dinner.
- What's the dinner menu today?
- Egg soup.
- And side dishes at home?
- Yes.
- Where are your parents?
- They're on a business trip.
- They're not coming home today?
- No.
- Then can we go in for now?
- Thank you.
- (Narration) To a dinner table of a young man who has just been discharged
enters military idol, Hani, and king of talking, Ho-dong.
An antique hanok that is also running a guest house.
The fragrance of the tree that Ho-dong admired is seeped with the years
into various areas of the picturesque home.
- Can we look in here?
- That's just tea.
- Drinking tea?
You were boiling this too?
- Yes.
- The dishcloth?
- How thorough and clean.
- Do you have a girlfriend?
- I do.
- As expected.
- The mic.
- Yes, let's put a mic on him.
Hani, look.
It works, like magic.
- To think that this is the house from before..
- The pagoda tree.
- (Narration) The energy of the fascinating tree that guarded this house
for hundreds of years must have reached Ho-dong and Hani, the tree lovers.
- So Ji-hyun, you didn't see our show
even once while you were in the military?
- I've seen it when it was on TV,
but I didn't watch the entire episode.
- The neighborhood for today's episode is Bukchon.
Just because we both joined, you don't need to cook more.
Just make dinner like usual, and we'll just join our spoons.
- I think I know what you mean.
- Since when did you go out with your girlfriend?
- About 4 months.
- While you were in the military?
- Yes.
- Oh, you're capable.
- While you came out for a break?
That's amazing.
You originally run this place as a guest house.
Do you have fewer tourists now?
- Recently because of that...
- THAAD?
- Because of that...
- So it's not like before.
- There are almost no Chinese.
- Really?
- It's only been a week since you've been discharged.
Are you dazed meeting Hani?
- Yes.
- In the military, is Hani a person or a goddess?
- A goddess.
- Is there anything I can help with?
- No, there isn't.
- How long have your parents lived here?
- We've been living here for five generations.
- This house is as old as that tree.
- Did you renovate this house in the middle?
- Yes, we've rebuilt this house once.
We just left the frames in the middle
and rebuilt the rest of the house.
- Are you a good cook?
- I'm majoring in hotel cooking.
- Right?
No wonder. It's not easy to eat at home.
- He has an apron on and boiling dishcloths.
I think our house...
We're so blessed.
Do you store the sliced scallions like this to use later?
- Yes.
- He's different.
- This is amazing.
- Wow, sausage.
It was just egg soup.
He's using my favorite ingredients.
- With sausage, ham, and eggs, the game's set.
- The game's set.
- Fried eggs. - You can't go wrong with those.
Wow.
- Cooking is all about the sound.
The most beautiful sound in the world is the sound of cooking.
- (Narration) This sound is from a hanok kitchen in Bukchon of Jong-no district, Seoul,
of that of sausages and ham grilling.
- Look at this, egg soup in a cinch.
In less than 5 minutes.
- It looks amazing.
- Look at the Spam too.
This is a really pretty color.
It needs to be this color.
- Ho-dong, look over there.
- What?
- He sliced it in octopus shape.
- Wow.
- That means he's not a bad cook.
- Look at how he plates the kimchi.
- Wiping the dish.
- There are more side dishes?
- There are more?
- Oh, anchovies.
Calcium
This is great. So pretty.
Dinner at Bukchon.
A picture.
- (Narration) This meal is that of a young cooking master at Bukchon Hanok Village,
with a nice serving of octopus-shaped sausages and scarlet-colored
ham and fluttering egg soup.
- If Hani and I hadn't come today,
you would've eaten by yourself.
- Yes.
- You just need to realistically film your usual self.
Ready.
Please clap.
- How delicious.
- Cut.
You really don't say anything.
- Wasn't it hard? - In fact, to do Real Theater by yourself...
You don't say anything when you eat alone. - That's right.
- You don't react by yourself when eating.
Oh my, the sausages are so good.
Oh my, the egg soup is so amazing.
You don't talk to yourself.
- It's not easy to do that.
Hotel cooking.
- Thank you for the food.
Who made these anchovies?
- I did.
- Oh my God, you bought these anchovies and seasoned them yourself?
- Yes, I did.
- How about the kimchi?
- The kimchi was just at home, so I don't know.
- Hani, try this.
Wow, this is amazing.
For real, right?
- You're so good at cooking.
- I put in some mayonnaise.
To make it more delicious.
- You put in mayonnaise in the anchovies?
- Yes.
- Is this something all cooking people know?
- Some might not know about putting in mayonnaise.
Some might know.
- How do you whip up something like this?
- He does it like this.
He can make it so delicious like this.
- (Narration) This is the time when talkative Ho-dong forgets to talk.
Hani, the military idol, becomes the eating idol.
This is all thanks to a young man in Bukchon.
A moment of happiness.
- You originally like cooking?
- Yes, I do.
- In your case, this is a house yet, at the same time, a guest house
for foreign tourists, right?
You must cook a lot for the foreigners.
- The guest houses usually serve breakfast.
- Do you make them scrambled eggs or...
- For Korean food, seaweed porridge
and vegetable porridge.
For breakfast, we make something that can easily be digested.
- Like seaweed porridge.
- Yes.
- Do you have more anchovies?
- Should I give you more?
- Wow, the anchovies are really...
- (Narration) Surprisingly, the anchovies are the most popular.
He grilled them with mayonnaise.
- They're a bit salty but goes well with the egg soup.
I don't know who made the kimchi, but it's really good.
I'm eating this much, and it's not salty at all.
You can sell this at a store.
- It's really good with rice too.
- (Narration) While Ho-dong and Hani are admiring and filling their stomachs,
the half-century-old veterans are pouring out sighs
and wandering around the dark.
- Now that they've gone in, I'm feeling rushed now.
Kyung-kyu, this is miserable.
- Hey, hey, hey.
Miracles happen.
- Kyung-kyu, this is miserable.
- Miracles happen.
- My heart's not feeling that way.
Kyung-kyu, right now,
my pride has been hurt.
- The lights are on here.
- That way, that way.
- The lights are on.
Ring the bell.
I'm feeling rushed.
Is anyone home?
- Yes.
- Ma'am, hello.
I'm comedian Kim Yong-man.
Hello.
Do you know me?
- Yes, yes.
- Ma'am, hello.
I'm comedian Lee Kyung-kyu.
- We ate dinner.
- Oh, I see.
- Goodness.
- It's getting late.
What did you eat?
- I had porridge.
- Oh, seaweed.
That must have been good.
- I had porridge.
- Anyway, thank you.
Yes, yes.
Oh man...
What's this?
Oh my.
- Do whatever.
- This bell is loud.
- Woof!
- You startled me. Don't do that.
I can see you.
- It seems like your pride is greatly hurt.
- What?
- Look at this.
Kyung-kyu.
- Hey.
- You look really sulky.
- How can you...
Are you possessed?
- You said Hani was possessed too.
Why are you saying that to me?
- Hurry up.
- This isn't working.
- I'll let you eat. Don't worry.
There's no way we won't eat.
- (Narration) Perhaps the two old-timers are possessed with the convenience store ghost.
- I think we've been here before.
We're going in circles as if by magic.
- Where, where?
Where, where?
- Kyung-kyu, you're possessed.
This guy, really...
Did we try this place?
Let's try this place.
Kyung-kyu, ring the bell.
Didn't we come here before too?
Are we going in circles right now?
Don't make fun of us, really tell us.
We don't time.
We'll move faster.
How happy would it be if we succeeded at this point?
Let's ring here.
The house is huge.
Oh my God.
- Yes?
- Yes, hello.
I'm comedian Kim Yong-man.
- Yes, yes.
Hello. Why are you here?
- I'm here with Lee Kyung-kyu.
- Who?
- Lee Kyung-kyu, the comedian.
- Yes, yes.
- We've come to Bukchon to introduce this area
and to eat with a resident here
for a show that we're filming right now.
Did you have dinner?
- Oh, of course.
- Thank you.
- Yes.
- We have 30 minutes left.
- Try ringing, Kyung-kyu.
The lights are on.
Go quickly.
A long time ago, he would've gotten mad at me.
He's changed a lot.
This show has made him into a human being.
You ring the bell.
Someone came.
Kyung-kyu.
This feels good.
Don't do that.
That's rude. Come out.
- Hello?
- Someone's coming out.
I'll do it.
- Hey, I've done this for 6 months.
- I mean, Kyung-kyu...
- You being cocky.
Ma'am.
- Ma'am, hello.
I'm comedian Lee Kyung-kyu.
- So?
- Yes, ma'am.
Did you have dinner?
- I did.
- You did?
You really ate?
- Yes, I ate... - I didn't eat.
- Hello, I am...
- I came to see my grandchild.
- You did?
Oh my.
- I love grandchildren.
- Hello.
I'm comedian Kim Yong-man.
- Oh, yes.
- Oh my.
- I came with Lee Kyung-kyu and...
- It's only been a few days since we moved here.
- So we're a bit dazed.
- We're curious about Bukchon, but if the children
didn't eat yet, could we simply eat rice with seaweed...
- But our situation right now... If we are all organized...
- I know. - That's right.
- We want to invite you inside.
- We understand.
- We're not organized yet.
- Yes, ma'am.
Thank you, be happy.
- Yes.
- Look, it's time that people start biting.
- Kyung-kyu, but people ate...
-(Narration) There are people at home, but not people who haven't eaten.
- This is frustrating...
The bell here...
Kyung-kyu, the lights are on here too.
- Yeah?
Got it.
- Hello.
I'm comedian Kim Yong-man.
- Hello.
- Do you know me?
- I do.
- Nice to meet you.
Actually,
We've come to Bukchon today, and we're looking around
and also eating dinner with the residents here.
We're doing this event right now.
- I'm waiting for a guest right now, so it'll be difficult.
- I see, if you're having a guest over.
- Yes.
- Yes, alright. Thank you.
- (Narration) At this rate, they won't be able to do their one meal 'event.'
- She ate?
- She did.
Kyung-kyu, it's about time you didn't succeed.
- It feels discomforting to think that my record of no failures will be broken.
- I wanted to the bell to that house from before.
This place is really high.
Ugh.
Is this house this house?
- Yes.
- Hello, ma'am.
- Yes.
- I'm comedian Kim Yong-man.
Hello.
Do you know comedian Kim Yong-man?
- Yes.
- Yes, yes.
Did you have dinner?
- No, not yet.
- You didn't?
I'm here with Lee Kyung-kyu.
- Hello, ma'am.
I'm Lee Kyung-kyu.
- Hello.
- We're MCs and comedians of your memories.
Did you see Sunday Night and such long ago?
- Yes.
-So if you didn't have dinner, then can the two of us
eat very simply with you, ma'am?
We're so hungry.
- Wait a minute.
- Yes.
Wait a minute...
This is how this feels.
- Wait a minute.
- What time is it?
- It's 20 minutes until 8 PM.
- This is unbelievable.
We have no time.
Is she consulting with someone at home?
Are you coming out?
- You've come out yourself.
- Hello. - Hello, nice to meet you.
- You have such nice impressions.
- We're not such impertinent people.
- Today, we have just one fish...
- That's all we need.
- Our baby's sleeping, so I cooked just one...
- We can split one fish into three pieces.
- In fact, if there's red pepper paste,
I love having that rice.
- Do you have rice?
- What should I do?
- Fish...
- Will give you time to put makeup on.
- I look the same with makeup.
- Is your baby sleeping?
- Yes.
- Then with one fish...
- Come in.
- Thank you.
Kyung-kyu, we haven't died.
We haven't died, Kyung-kyu.
- Thank you.
- Can we really go in?
- (Narration) As expected, our old-timer comedians haven't died.
The hanok door has opened to them like a miracle.
What meal awaits these two, who have come into another hanok?
- We should be quiet, since the baby is sleeping.
- I know.
- I need to wake the baby up now.
- I see.
- To sleep at night.
- That's right.
We came in at the right time.
- We're good at waking the baby up.
- The hanok feels very amiable.
- Right?
Look at the soil in the garden.
Can we go in?
- Oh my, the baby is sleeping.
Is he Ju-Han?
- Yu-an.
- Wake up slowly, Yu-an.
- Yu-an didn't eat either?
- No.
- Oh my, Yu-an.
- Is your husband not home yet?
- He went to a funeral.
- Oh...
Your oldest son?
- Yes.
- Where's your son?
- How old's your oldest son?
- 8 years old.
- 8 years old?
- He went to play at a friend's house.
- Oh, he went to play.
- How old is Yu-an?
- Yu-an is 3 years old.
- 3 years old.
- 25 months old.
- How cute.
Mommy's here.
- Mommy's here. - Yes, yes.
Kyung-kyu, are there instances where you get kicked out?
- Yes, there are.
- If the baby tells us to leave...
- Mom, who are those people?
Tell them to leave.
- We don't have time
to go elsewhere...
- Fortunately, Yu-an can't talk yet.
- That's a relief.
- You have a great sense of humor.
- Oh my, oh my.
- Ma'am, are you boiling something?
- Something we ate this morning.
- Soy bean paste stew?
That looks good.
- That's good.
- Two fish, for real.
We can have this with rice.
- I'll give you some eggs.
- Fried eggs.
- I'm so happy.
- Fried eggs, fried eggs.
- There are things like this.
- There are, there are.
Ma'am, when did you move here?
- In July.
- This July?
Last July?
- Last July.
- In July?
We asked around, and many people
moved away because of the noise.
- Yes.
We had problems with noises between floors.
- When living in an apartment.
- Yes, and we wanted to try living in a hanok.
- You had a fantasy about that.
- Especially when they're 8 and 3, you probably moved in
for the garden with soil.
It's so nice.
How many rooms are in here?
- This is the main room, and this is the baby's room.
We have a garage downstairs, which is unique.
- There's a garage downstairs?
- Yes.
In the basement, there's the study room and the dressing room.
- There's a basement here?
- (Narration) A unique hanok with a basement.
We'll look around in a bit.
- What should I do?
- Why?
- I'll hold the baby.
- He's good with kids.
- I'm very good with kids.
- I can just hold onto him.
- No, Yong-man will...
- Yu-an, do you want to come to me?
To me?
To me, to me.
- Yu-an...
- I see.
- I'm good with this.
- What should I do?
I'll grill the fish...
- Then should I scoop the rice?
- Yeah, do that.
- I'll scoop the rice.
- We have no side dishes.
- It's alright.
- Tell me what to do, and I'll do it.
- Please wipe the frying pan.
- I'm good with that.
It's even more delicious if you prepare dinner together.
She's holding onto Yu-an, so we should help.
Isn't this the stew?
- The stew.
- This is that...
This is rich soybean paste stew.
We need to be in cue with Yu-an.
Yu-an is just...
Yu-an is so handsome.
- It's a she.
- It's a she?
- Please think.
- I had no idea.
- We'll get kicked out.
That's so rude.
- It's because I saw her like this.
- Her name is Yu-an.
A girl's name.
- How pretty.
In fact, eyes without double eyelids are very attractive.
- She looks like her mom.
She's a beauty.
A subtle charm.
- I had surgery on my eyes.
- You did?
These eyes...
- You can totally tell she did.
- You can totally tell...?
- What nonsense are you saying?
You can totally tell?
I didn't think that at all.
You should scoop rice.
- Did you ever get kicked out like this?
- I haven't gotten kicked out while getting the table ready.
- When you rang the bell and introduced yourselves,
I texted my fan, who's a fan of the show.
- What did you say?
- They've finally come to our house.
- I said, Let's Eat Dinner Together is here, and she said open the door now.
- She said open the door now.
Thanks to your friend.
- (Narration) With a grateful heart towards the savior of the day, the friend,
and Yu-an's family, the two men happily prepare the dinner table.
- Yu-an, do you eat yolks or not?
Should I pop it?
Pop it.
Oh, hey.
Pretty princess, I'll pop the yolk.
- (Narration) Fried eggs cooked by the two men as preferred by Yu-an.
- We can't make Yu-an cry.
- The eggs look good, Kyung-kyu.
- You just cook them like this.
1, 2.
- (Narration) This meal is of that at a hanok in Bukchon, served by the two men
on behalf of the mother who's holding her daughter.
- This is a Real Theater where you and Yu-an
talk about this and that and eat dinner.
Now, Real Theater.
Ready, action.
- Yu-an, shall we eat?
What side dish do you want to eat?
Let's eat this with fish.
Do you like fish?
Good.
This is halibut.
Halibut.
- Yummy.
- Yum yum.
Is it good?
- She eats right after sleeping.
- This is Mommy's.
No, this is too big.
It's too big.
- Wow, she's feeding her mom.
- You have daughters for that.
- Is it good?
Is it good?
- How cute.
How cute.
- Do you want the soup too?
Mommy?
You eat it.
- Oh my.
That's hard.
She's eating it.
At that stage, they spill a lot while eating.
- That's right.
I still do that.
- You too?
How do you spill all your life?
Oh my.
- The stew cooled down while doing this.
- It was nice to watch.
My mother used to debone the fish for me long ago.
- That's right.
I remember that.
- I remember that.
- For me, she used to make lettuce-wrapped rice for me.
- Thank you.
Thank you for the food.
- Thank you so much.
This is a very touching meal.
- This is so good.
- Thank you for the food.
Yum~.
- I should've given you a separate dish.
- No, no.
- This is good.
- My mother's kimchi must be the most delicious.
- It's really good.
- (Narration) The two men have fallen in love with
the traditional kimchi at a traditional hanok.
With a side dish of fish that reminds one of their mothers.
The earnest meal is that much more delicious.
- This is so good.
The kimchi is amazing.
- Yu-an.
- Wow.
We've come in thanks to that friend.
- That's right.
She lives in Bundang.
- Thanks to that friend.
Kyung-kyu, let's do a video message.
- To who?
- To that friend.
- Min Kyung-young.
- You're a real beauty.
- So abruptly?
- Even without seeing your face, you're a beauty.
- Your heart is beautiful.
- Open the door. That's very open-minded.
- Thank you.
Actually, for a young couple to move to a single housing
because of noise between floors, and especially to Bukchon
is not an easy thing. How did you make that decision?
- Actually, we looked for houses for about a year.
- Really?
- For a neighborhood.
This is actually the house that Yun Seok-hwa built.
Who?
- We're here on an annual rent.
- The owner is Yun Seok-hwa?
- Yes, yes.
- We should ask her to lower the rent.
- She was generous.
Whenever we went to see houses...
- It's very nice.
- Like a landmark, they'd say this is Yun Seok-hwa's house.
We looked around a lot of houses, and the real estate office
told us this house was up for annual rent and asked if we wanted to move in.
I was thinking of buying a house.
- Purchase the house?
- Yes, but not this house.
But we thought it'd be nice to live in it once.
- That's right.
- Because you could regret too.
- That's right, rather than purchasing right away.
- I'm so happy we moved into a nice house.
- A while ago, we went to Bang-bae area.
The house was where singer Shin Seung-hoon used to live.
- Where Seung-hoon used to live in?
- They were living at a house that Shin Seung-hoon had lived in.
- The celebrities are all around us.
- So this is the house that Yun Seok-hwa used to live in.
- Wipe your mouth.
- Where, on my lips?
- When did Yun Seok-hwa purchase this house?
- She purchased this 10 years ago and then rebuilt it with care.
- Then when you signed the contract, you must have seen her.
- I...
Yes.
She invited us to her plays.
- She invited her tenants to her shows.
- Of course.
Because they shouldn't ruin the house.
- (Narration) Yun Seok-hwa left the piano for the kids.
- Yu-an, where are you going
in the middle of eating?
Yu-an.
- Yu-an, what is it?
- Yu-an, come here.
Yu-an.
- I think she's relaxed now.
- She's relaxed because she feels good.
You're so pretty when you smile.
- Yu-an, who do you look like?
Do you look like Mommy or Daddy?
- Ah.
- She said Mommy.
That's it.
You like it?
Oh, our Yu-an.
Really.
- Since when have you seen her?
- She's our princess.
- Before, you said she was handsome.
If she was a boy.
- You asked if she was a boy, and now you're like, our Yu-an.
That's despicable.
- She needs to comb her hair back.
How pretty.
- Say thank you.
- How is it living in a hanok?
- It's all nice, but it's cold in the winter.
When the cold is over, the mosquitoes come.
When the mosquitoes go, winter comes.
- But regardless of that, there should be good aspects.
- It's good for the kids.
- For their emotions. - Good for the kids.
- Because there's a yard right in the front.
- Right.
There's a space of my own.
- You don't feel trapped.
- Of course.
- The pros and cons of Bukchon?
Bukchon.
- The good thing is that
you know your neighbors very well,
so I think that's really good.
- Neighbors.
- That's actually very nice.
- Actually, you could think that it's not convenient
to raise kids here, because there are no institutes here.
- That's right.
- No institutes for the kids.
- No.
But rather than going to institutes,
they can go back and forth our house and play.
- That's the best.
- My son is here.
- Oh, son.
Come in.
Oh my.
- Come here, son.
Son.
- Is this strange?
- Yu-an, you don't know me, right?
- I'm Ko Woo-Jin.
- Woo-Jin...
Kyung-kyu, ask him.
What will he think?
Are you trying to call all the kids here Yu-an?
- Did I do that?
- Woo-Jin.
- We rang the bell, and your mom opened the door for us.
- Did Mom do a good job?
- Yu-an likes it too.
- Woo-Jin.
How many times do I have to tell you?
- Woo-Jin, you're a man.
- This guy has been calling Hani with the wrong name all day.
- Woo-Jin, you're a man.
- (Narration) One doesn't know the gender, the other doesn't know the name.
The fantastic combo shows the beauty of blankness.
- Ma'am, how long have you married for?
- 9 years?
- 9 years.
Was it a love marriage?
- Yes.
- I thought so.
- Yes.
- A campus couple?
- No, a blind date.
- A blind date?
- Yes.
- A blind date.
- What did you like about your husband?
- His masculinity.
- I peeked at your picture.
- There's a picture back there.
- He's ruggedly handsome.
- Isn't he?
- You took this just a while ago.
- On her first birthday.
- When you moved in here?
- On Yu-an's first birthday.
- On her first birthday, not when she moved in here.
You have bad hearing.
Wear a hearing aid.
- I thought everything was linked to this house.
When they moved in here.
I didn't know a house is so valuable.
Oh, this is...
- What's his name?
- Ko Hee-chul.
- Ko Hee-chul?
- Yes.
- What does he do?
- He's a corporate lawyer.
- A corporate lawyer?
He did this a lot.
He did.
- This is embarrassing.
- He did this a lot.
- Stop doing that now.
You're all about this.
- He studied a lot.
What did you study?
- I studied art.
- I knew at first sight that she did art.
- Did I look a little too free?
And not properly dressed?
- Didn't you draw that?
- I knew by looking at that.
Looking at that...
- That's right.
You drew it, Yu-an.
- What do you think she drew? When you see it with your artistic views.
- Ahi.
- That's right.
- Nature.
- Just the fact that she drew it.
- That's right.
- Woo-Jin?
Woo-Jin, boast one thing about your mom and dad.
What do you like about your mom?
- She's good at cooking.
- She's good at cooking. That's a win.
- You're mom is a really good cook. - She cooks well.
Another one.
- When I help my mom and dad, they buy Ne things.
- When you help them, they what?
- When he helps us, we buy him a toy.
- If you help mom and dad, they buy you a toy.
- They are sure about give and take.
They're very accurate.
Woo-Jin.
- They're teaching him.
- What do you want to be when you grow up?
- I don't know.
- That's right, you won't know at your age.
- I don't think he really knows.
- I don't think he does.
- Actually, they don't know at that age.
- It's natural that they don't.
- Of course.
- What do you like the best?
What do you like?
Soccer, baseball, what?
What do you like the most?
- Soccer, baseball, sausage, what?
- Playing Bey Blade with my friends.
- Tops?
Yes, there's something like that.
There's a unique top.
The one you turn.
Turn it.
Turn it once.
That's it.
Kyung-kyu, the kids are awesome at it.
Wow~.
That's amazing.
- That's amazing.
- I've never seen a top spin that fast.
That's amazing.
Hey, can you spin one more?
- Yes.
- Spin more.
- They battle like this.
- Right.
- You compete.
- Then do you want to battle with me?
I'm good.
I played with my son a lot.
- I'll give you one.
- Alright.
- If you turn too much, it doesn't fall.
- That's right.
1, 2.
- You do it like that.
- Kyung-kyu, I spun better.
This is mine.
Hey, hey.
Who do you think will win?
- Mine.
- What's with your hand?
No hands. Mine neither.
Don't touch, don't touch.
- We need to do it at a field.
This scratches the wooden floor.
- Yun Seok-hwa, we're sorry.
We'll just do one match.
Good job.
Wow.
This is thrilling.
So the one that spins longest wins, right?
Hey, hey.
It's the same.
It's dizzy.
- I won.
- My kids did this a lot too.
- It flies like this.
- My kids remember me playing with them
at this age for the rest of their lives.
Nice.
- Then, Ji-hyun, after being discharged,
what year in college do you resume?
- Sophomore.
- If you resume sophomore year, then there are junior and senior years.
How are you planning your dream after graduating?
- I'm attending a two-year diploma course, and I want to be a head cook at a hotel.
- To become a chef.
- Yes, a chef.
- There, you need to choose an area.
For example, doing Korean cuisine or Western dishes.
- Chinese or Japanese cuisine.
- There are many.
- I didn't learn much yet, but I want to do Japanese cuisine.
- Japanese cuisine.
- Yes.
- Like sashimi or sushi.
- And I happen to really like those dishes.
So I thought it'll be good to do that.
- There's something charming.
Japanese cuisine, right?
- It goes well with you.
- (Narration) Today's dinner was simple, but the food that this young man
will serve in the future will be a valuable one full of dreams.
- Where's the basement?
- The basement is on both sides.
- Can we look around?
- Yes, yes.
But...
- This house is more complicated than I thought.
- Actually, this is the main room,
but this is really cold, like Siberia.
So nowadays, we sleep out in the living room.
- The living room is warm.
Oh my.
- So our blankets...
This is the bathroom.
- There's an area like this.
- You arranged it like this. How pretty.
- This is really nice.
- How do you go down to the basement?
- The basement....
Woo-Jin, show us.
- The basement.
- No?
Alright.
The basement is...
- This must be really cool in the summer.
- Yes.
In the summer.
- Oh, this is...
- You blocked this because of the baby.
Can we go down?
- Yes.
- There's a secret area like this.
What is this?
This is charming.
This house is charming.
- It's cold because the heater's off.
- Wow, it's very spacious.
- This is the study room.
- This is the closet and the dressing room.
The dressing room is really big inside.
Is this where you go out to the garage?
- Yes, there.
The garage.
- There was more to this house than to the sight.
The garage door is to the back.
- You walked up the stairs next to here.
- Oh, I see.
I'll close it.
- This house is nicely built.
- It's an interesting arrangement.
- (Narration) With various spaces in the basement, this contemporary hanok
added practicality to its traditional architecture.
- Hello.
- Oh, did you go in?
- It's a house.
- I can't believe it.
- What do you mean you can't?
- We already ate and are washing the dishes.
Huh?
- Hello.
- Say hello.
- Hello.
-Oh my, son.
- Hello.
-Oh my, son.
- Oh no.
What should I do about our Yu-an?
- How old is he?
- Ho-dong, it's a daughter.
I also called her a son and almost got kicked out.
This is the son, and this is the daughter.
Look over here, ma'am.
This is the daughter.
A beautiful princess.
- A daughter.
Princess.
- Is Sa-hi doing well?
- Now I've become Sa-hi...
- Hani, Hani.
- I was Ga-hi the whole day.
- Really?
- How can Hani become Ga-hi?
Up, down, up, down.
Don't you know the song?
Up, down, up, down.
- Yes, I know.
- Up, down, up, up, down.
- Hey, sing the up down song.
- Oh, the baby.
Up, down, up, up, down.
Hi.
- Say hi.
- Why am I the one who's embarrassed?
- Baby, please tell Mister Kyung-kyu that my name is not Sa-hi or Ga-hi
but Hani. Please tell him that.
Alright?
- Alright, up, down.
- Kyung-kyu...
- Goodbye.
- Up, down.
- You guys are wrapping up?
Really...
- Her husband is coming home soon.
- Daddy's home.
- We need to go before it gets too long.
Ugh, the dad's home.
Dad's home.
- Dad's home, Dad's home.
Oh my.
Sir.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Welcome home.
- We got hung up, but I think Kyung-kyu was trying to leave
before the dad came home but got caught.
Then one more session.
- Welcome.
- Our Kim Yong-man.
- Nice to meet you.
- Our mother.
- I'm washing the dishes right now.
- Your wife warmly greeted us.
- Isn't this cool?
- We enjoyed the food.
- There probably wasn't much.
- Your face is red.
- I drank a bottle of soju at the funeral.
- Right?
- You look a lot younger in person.
- Really?
I'm younger than Yong-man.
- Who is?
- No, no.
- Kyung-kyu?
- Your daughter is stuck to you.
- She really likes him.
- I know.
Do you like Daddy?
- Kiss Daddy.
The best, the best.
Ye-rim was once like this too.
- There so adorable at that age.
- When Ye-rim was 3 years old...
I think daughters are cuter when they just start to talk.
- It's an all-kill today.
- All-kill.
- We've finished them all.
- All-kill.
I'm good at doing the dishes.
That's all I'm good at.
Don't worry about it.
- I don't want to bother them.
The scenery is so pretty.
I'll just go in and...
be the disruptor of love.
- What?
- I love you.
- 1, 2, 3.
- (Narration) At Bukchon Hanok Village, filled with the beauty of traditional houses,
the 29th and 30th houses are born.
And a few days later.
Their family pictures were delivered to Bukchon.
- Mister, we'll serve you delicious food next time,
so please visit again.
- Alright.
- Yu-an, say a word too.
No, don't touch it.
Say something in front of the camera.
No, no.
Come here. Yu-an, come here.
- Hello.
I received the picture. Thank you.
- Isn't that where the Reply series took place?
- Park Bo-gum.
Park Bo-gum will come out.
- He's here, he's here.
- Ah!
- Do you have anything to do with Ssang-mun area?
- Nothing at all.
- You were dragged here.
- You were so amazing, Hye-ri.
1988 was so fun.
- Did you really see it?
- Did you see Beautiful Gong-shim or not?
- I've never heard of it.
That's the first time I've heard of that.
We came with Deok-sun.
- Thank you.
- There are many people.
- Why are you crying?
- I'll go home starving today.
- We've come to the open-air filming set, so this is so cool.
- Then you should have come earlier.
- That's right.
- That's not being sincere.
- That's right.
- What's fake is fake, what's real is real.
- That's right.
You just got KO'ed by Minah.
- You've completely lost your original resolution.
- Oh...
- Start.
- As the spring breeze blows~ Let's walk together~.
- With my sense of duty, I'll succeed.
- We need to succeed.
- Who is it?
- I am Hye-ri.
Do you know me?
- I don't really know.
- Did you see Reply 1988?
- I don't know.
- Darling darling please melt me~.
- Yes.
- Isn't this amazing?
It's actually colder than before.
But it's not cold, right?
- It's not cold.
This is so cool.
- Eating warm food and sharing warm conversation,
it's not cold even though it's much colder, right?
- Really.
This is the charm of the show.
- Don't you feel something?
- Yes.
- What a grateful place.
- Kyung-kyu.
More than anything, you feel this every week, right?
- I do every week.
- This feels great.
- Hey.
- This feels good.
- Yeah~.
Let's go.
Great.
- (Narration) Perhaps it'll be a meal that will become a small history in your lives.
Would you eat with us?
