- (Narration) This fresh and lively place.
It is Daehangno, a college town where youth and the arts breathe.
Small theaters line the streets, where people are lining up in front.
People are busy trying to lure customers.
- Should we go that way?
- Yeah.
- This is like when the theater company sends you out to pass out flyers,
but you're sitting around and not passing out the flyers.
- Right.
- (Narration) There are some suspicious men who are obviously sitting around.
Two gloomy men have come looking for youth.
Today, the Kyu-Dong brothers have hit the college town.
- Spring has come.
- No, it seems like spring has gone by
and summer has come right away.
- It's hot.
- It's getting hot right away.
- Where are we? Isn't this Daehangno?
When I was in college, I came here to watch many performances.
- What park is this?
- Marronnier Park.
- I came up from Busan to be a stage actor.
- Come watch our show. - Alright.
- Did you buy the tickets? - No.
- You didn't?
- Who are you? An actor?
- Who are you?
- Our show.
- Is he an actor?
- He's our staff.
- I thought he was that thing.
I thought he was our guest.
- Did you think he was our guest?
- Since he wore a mask on a hot day like this, I thought he was our guest.
- Let's predict.
The avenues overseas have many horse chestnut trees.
But here, the horse chestnut trees...
- Hello. - Yes?
A flyer.
What?
- Are you our staff? - What?
- Are you our staff? - No.
- What concept is this?
- I saw him somewhere.
- Hello.
- Huh?
Why are you wearing a mask?
- Because of the fine dust.
- The air is nice today.
- No, because of the fine dust.
- Since this is Daehangno, I think he's a stage actor from this area.
- Didn't you come out in the TV series 'Misaeng'?
- No...
- Wait a sec. Because he gave out this flyer,
I thought there was such a place like this
Then that guy from before...
- The guy who first gave us the flyers is our staff.
- Our staff?
- The staff who was sleeping in Jeong-neung area.
- On the street?
Hey.
- Yes.
- My memory is failing me.
- We need to hurry up and identify him, but his name...
You need to work harder. Your name lingers in my mouth but doesn't come out.
I think today...
- Wait.
He's our guest, but I can't take this off because I can't remember his name.
- The important thing is, even if he takes it off, we don't know his name.
- I saw him on TV series and what is it?
I saw him on Infinite Challenge too.
- Kyung-kyu, in 'Misaeng.'
- I saw his movies too, and I can't remember his name.
Wait, Ho-dong, this man alone is weak.
Let's see who else is wearing a mask.
Look, the guy over there with flyers who's filming this with his cell phone.
There's another one.
Is this 'Where's Waldo'?
Who is he?
- That's so funny.
You can't film this.
Sir, you can't film this.
- I know who it is.
- This is what I'm talking about.
- Sure, sure.
- His movie came out recently.
- I know, I know.
- Their ticket sales are amazing. - I know.
- It's been a long time.
Isn't it "A Hard Day"?
- Sun-gyun, it's been a very long time.
I should readily call him by his name.
- Your name should readily come out.
What are you?
- I'll do my best.
- It's not about that.
- You need to say his name to take his mask off.
- Can I take mine off?
- Sun-gyun, take yours off.
- He can't take it off because you don't know his name?
- We can't remember his name.
- How stifling.
- (Narration) Today's guest.
Actor Lee Sun-gyun with a luxurious voice that cannot be hidden.
- Are you in this movie together?
- Yes, we are.
- Here it is.
- Kyung-kyu.
- Your name is printed so small.
- (Narration) Kim Hee-won, a villain specialist who is actually very nice.
For Kim Hee-won, we will show you a special footage.
- This is bullet-proof glass.
Wow, Mr. Kim, you look like a good worker every time I see you.
- (Narration) Ah~ This person. You know him well, right?
- I've seen you a lot on TV series.
Sun-gyun, nice to see you, really.
- Yes, yes.
- We're here at the heart of Korea's culture and arts,
and Daehangno is all about youth, right? - Yes.
-We'll meet this and that kind of youth today.
- To see you do this in front of our guests is embarrassing.
How old are Hee-won and Ho-dong?
- I don't know his age.
- I'm probably younger.
I was born in 1971.
- Are you the year of the pig?
I'm older.
- Hee-won, wake up.
- The sun is so bright.
- There are a lot of people, so we need to leave.
Read this.
- Have dinner at the residential area in Hye-hwa area.
- Hye-hwa area. - Hye-hwa area!
- (Narration) Hye-hwa area of Jongno district in Seoul.
There is much to see, and as the area of culture and arts,
Hye-hwa area is most known as Daehangno.
But hidden somewhere here is a quiet and picturesque alley.
Today in Hye-hwa area, what names will the Kyu-Dong brothers
and our guests leave behind?
Let's Eat Dinner Together, Episode 28. Your Name.
- I was a bit worried. - Why?
Because of Hee-won. - What if people don't recognize him?
- Wow~.
- Hey.
Hee-won. - Yes.
- But what we just did in the beginning
did a big job of getting your name out there.
It did.
- No, it has always been like that.
People can't quite remember by name.
- Yes, I can't quite remember it.
- I don't think our film promotion is important.
My name needs promotion.
- What film promotion?
This is where I made my debut on Daehangno.
- On this stage?
- The name changed but
this is the theater that I first performed in after graduating college.
- This theater?
- Yes, the name changed.
Back then, it was called Holy Media Theater.
- Is the building the same?
- I debuted through The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
How could you do this to me?
Everything is over now.
- (Narration) Lee Sun-gyun, who shouted, "One vongole!"
first dreamed to be an actor here on the theater stage.
- How many years were you at Daehangno?
- I first started in 1988.
- From 1988?
- I had my first audition on the fourth floor of his red building.
- You had your audition here?
- Yes. - It's a history.
- 1988.
- What was the name of the play?
-It was that. Hwarang Won-sool.
- So you debuted on your first stage? - Yes.

- Yes, Hyundai Theater.
It's still here.
- Noreum Machi was here too long ago. The samulnori troupe.

- That's right.
Isn't it that way? - Yes, it is.
- Su-ro does a lot of plays.
Kim Su-ro.
- The musical I produced is still playing.
- Musical? - Yes, in Daehangno.
- Where is it?
- Right here. It's called OO, and it's a great hit.
- Over there. - That I produced.
- Is it starting now?
I don't know when they play on Saturdays.
- Between acting on TV and acting on stage,
is there a difference?
- No, there isn't much difference.
- Talk as we go. - What?
- Talk as we go.
It's hot.
Talk as we go.
Even when I went to the jungle, I felt relieved to not hear his voice.
What is this?
- A junior that I know came. - Really?
- Is he an actor? - Yes.
- It's been a long time.
- Hello.
- Aren't you supposed to be on stage? - No.
- Please show us a little bit of your performance.
- What?
To an actor.
Oh, really.
I feel like throwing up.
- (Narration) My heart is being pursued...
You did it a long time ago too.
Hurry and go perform.
- You're not an actor if you feel embarrassed.
You lose if you feel embarrassed.
- Isn't this Let's Eat Dinner Together?
- It is. - I'm a fan.
- What's your name?
- I'm Hwang Man-ik.
I heard Hee-won was here.
- Don't lie.
We came here unexpectedly. What are you lying about?
- Let's go.
- Hee-won raised me. - Kyung-kyu is angry.
- You don't know the theater scene, so let me say a word.
Stage actors talk a lot.
If you hold onto him, he'll pour out all his sorrows.
So, goodbye.
- As Lee Sun-gyun is to Oh Man-seok,
Ahn Hee is to me, Hwang Man-ik.
- No, it's not.
Hurry and go.
- Hwang Man-ik.
I memorized his name.
- Good luck, Let's Eat Dinner Together.
- Then good luck, Hwang Man-ik.
- Are you four filming together today? - Yes.
Lee Sun-gyun is to who?
- Oh Man-seok.
- Then Kim Hee-won is to who?
- Hwang Man-ik.
Good luck, Let's Eat Dinner Together.
Hee-won, I hope you succeed.
- Wow, he's a scene-stealer.
- Stage actors talk endlessly if you get them to talk.
- Still, we made Hwang Man-ik be known.
- We did. - Then you should be with him.
- We should go find another actor.
- Where?
- (Narration) Actors Lee Sun-gyun and Kim Hee-won first debuted on stage.
Lee Kyung-kyu came up to Seoul with the dream of being a stage actor.
Kang Ho-dong is becoming a promising actor through Ask Us Anything.
Each person is walking through Hye-hwa area with different feelings.
- What is that?
Lee Soon-jae is performing.
Is it over?
- How are stage performances?
When there are no shows, I heard that the staff are all rookies.
If you say a word of encouragement and
shake their hands, how encouraged would they get?
- I think it'll be a little uncomfortable to do that here.
- This theater... - We can try another theater.
- Kyung-kyu, it's until May 28th. What are the show times?
- I think there are only evening shows.
- If it's an evening show, we can go in now.
- The actors don't come at this time.
- Let's just see the stage.
- The stage? The set?
- Let's go and see. I've never seen on before.
Let's just ask them, Kyung-kyu.
Our show doesn't call in advance anyway.
- In this show, do we just go?
Is this a complete reality show?
- Of course.
- The only part we cast in advance is our guests.
- We only cast you two.
- Everyone else doesn't know.
- We don't even know our way around.
- The basement here is the stage.
- Is it alright to film the stage a little bit?
We're Let's Eat Dinner Together, and we wanted to take a look at a small theater.
- The actors are over there. - Who?
- Lee Soon-jae and Jeong Yeong-suk.
- Really? Wait a minute.
Ho-dong, Lee Soon-jae is here.
Lee Soon-jae and Jeong Yeong-suk are here right now.
- Then let's go say hello.
- Let's go say hello.
- Let's ask them about the filming.
- Ask them in advance.
- We'll ask them first.
- Let's go in the theater.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
Actor Lee Sun-gyun.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Do you know him, ma'am?
- I saw him on TV.
Then what is his name?
- I don't remember his name.
He came out as a gangster.
- It means your acting is good.
He gave us permission. He said to come in.
I've never been to this kind of place before.
Wow, it's like this.
The seats are close to the stage.
- Hello.
- Is this the show where you eat dinner?
- We were passing by.
- Hello.
- We came to look around.
- We thought because it is an evening show, you weren't here,
so we came down here to just look at the stage.
- Sure, sure.
- Sir, did you see our show?
Let's Eat Dinner Together.
- I don't know.
I don't see such begging shows.
- It's not a begging show. It's a show where we capture
various dinner scenes and heart-touching feelings.
- They look for houses that will give them food.
- And you ask them for food?
That's a real beggar.
- I think you'll eat well today.
- Really?
- They'll give you food if you ask for it.
- Sir, how long have you been performing?
- This is our second week.
- Since when did you act here in Daehangno?
- There are many theaters here, so I performed a lot here.
There's a big theater around here too.
Last year, I did a 60-year anniversary show here in Daehangno.
A three-hour show. - 60-year anniversary.
- There are many around here.
- From what I heard, he didn't graduate with a theater and film degree.
He joined the theater club in college and performed there then became an actor.
- He acted in the early days. The first ever.
- In college, we acted amongst our clubs,
and many became actors.
- Sir, please be on our show next time.
- Are you coming to my house?
- Together.
- Sir, let's press the door bell.
- Hello, I'm Lee Soon-jae.
That will be good enough.
- If you go to Myeon-mok area, they give you food anywhere.
- Myeon-mok area...
- If you go to Myeon-mok area, they'll give you food.
- Sir, if we film our show at Myeon-mok area,
then you'll come on our show.
Sir, you promised.
Sir, a promise.
You promised, sir.
- (Narration) You promised with no questions.
- We can't stay for too long.
They need to perform.
- Sir, thank you for letting us in with no prior engagement.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you so much.
- We'll be on our way.
- (Narration) They met the living witnesses of the theatrical word at its cradle.
- I saw Jeong Yeong-suk a lot on TV when I was young.
- That's right.
- To be still acting at that age...
- It's amazing.
- (Narration) Passing by Daehangno, the heart of Hye-hwa area,
they are not walking into the residential area.
- If you are active in Daehangno for a long time,
then do you live close to this area?
- I lived around here for a year.
- In Hye-hwa area?
- If you go up there behind Sungkyunkwan University, there is a small mountain town.
I lived there for a year.
- By yourself? - Yes, by myself.
- Did you live in Hye-hwa area too?
- I lived in Seong-buk area near here for around six years.
I came to Daehangno often, and it was a 15-20 minutes walk home after a drink.
- We usually don't come this way.
- Usually this way.
- We usually go out this way.
- A while ago, I looked at the houses around this area.
I took a look at a villa at this area.
About a month ago.
- Really?
- Yes, I remember walking through this street.
- This street?
- Yes.
- Are you going to move?
- But you know...
I'm not married yet, and living in the same house with your parents
can be slightly uncomfortable, so I thought of living by myself
so I actually looked around this area.
- But why here of all places?
- I really like this neighborhood.
I like Hye-hwa area.
- A lot of artists live around here.
- Many of my juniors still live around here.
- Why did stage actors gather in Daehangno?
- I heard that Seoul University's college of liberal arts
and its theater classes were located in Daehangno.
So people from that school made theater troupes
and became central along with Yeonwoo Theater Company.
- The area developed as theater troupes came in one by one.
- (Narration) Thanks to the founding members 40 years ago,
Hye-hwa area has become the nest for theatrical people.
But the Hye-hwa area that will become the next for today's dinner
is slightly different from Daehangno.
- I can't hear the loud noises of Daehangno here at all.
- I know.
The residential area is a different world.
- Look at this house.
- This one is from the 80s for sure.
- Right.
- This was a rich family's house back then.
- Long time ago.
- I was confident that I knew Hye-hwa area very well,
but I've never seen such houses with gardens.
- (Narration) The hidden alley of Hye-hwa area has kept
the quiet atmosphere of the old houses intact.
- Hello, ma'am.
- You look more handsome in person.
- Ma'am, ma'am. - How handsome.
How exciting.
I haven't seen you in a long time.
- Ma'am, when did you see him?
- I saw him on TV a lot, that's what.
- Ma'am, what's his name?
- Huh? I don't know his name.
It's because you asked suddenly.
- How about me?
- Kang Ho-dong.
- How about this actor?
- The name...
- The three of you need to work harder.
- I wish you wouldn't test if people recognize us or not.
- What's my name?
One, two, three.
- Kang Ho-dong.
- See, they all know me.
How about this actor? One, two, three.
- Lee Sun-gyun.
- Oh~.
- How about this actor?
One, two, three.
Kim.
- Won.
- Kim Won?
-I don't know.
- He's actor Kim Hee-won.
Please remember his name.
- Ho-dong.
- Thank you.
- You're killing Hee-won several times.
Once when he appeared and once in front of that student.
- We won't promote our movie today.
We'll promote Kim Hee-won instead.
- You're killing me the most.
- He's been killed three times.
How many times will you kill him?
- Don't call my name from now on.
- He represents a theater troupe.
- (Narration) Hee-won, I hope you find your name today.
- Honestly, this looks good.
- Kyung-kyu. - The traditional hanok and the trees.
- The foliage.
- Those are lilacs too. White lilacs.
- There were many houses like that here in Hye-hwa area.
There were many hanok.
- Since it's near Bukchon and Seochon.
- (Narration) Not only are there old Western-style houses, but also hanok.
- Kang Ho-dong, what are you filming here?
- Ma'am, we came to explore Hye-hwa area.
There are many houses and such pretty hanok.
- That's the best hanok here.
That's a cultural asset.
Long ago, Prime Minister Kim Sang-hyeop lived there, but now his son lives there.
- Is that hanok registered as a cultural asset?
What's good about living in Hye-hwa area?
- You're talking about the old Hye-hwa area.
It was all residential houses.
They tore them down and built villas, so this area is no longer pretty.
It's not pretty.
This road is the prettiest, but those two houses are also
will be torn down in April or May to build new houses.
They built houses all over the place and ruined the neighborhood.
- That's a fact.
It's about life.
- The old man said he won't sell this house if they were going to tear it down.
So he sold it under the condition that it won't be torn down.
They repaired the house very nicely.
- They left the exterior as it is.
- That house did even better.
- That hanok with the entrance?
The one at the corner?
- A specialist in cultural assets worked on the insides.
It took two years.
- (Narration) The residents' efforts to preserve the neighborhood
can be seen in the alley.
- Hey, look at this.
This wall.
- The forsythias are pretty.
- I'm sick of forsythias.
- Are they falling off?
- They're now blooming.
- The forsythias are falling.
- Falling? - The forsythias are falling.
Because it's almost May now.
The forsythias came, then the cherry blossoms, then the roses,
and then royal azaleas. We studied a bit on trees.
- But you seem to know a lot about flowers.
- (Narration) Uh oh. A prey has fallen into the trap of communication.
- Aren't those green onions?
Green onions.
They grow green onions to eat.
Such detail...
- Kyung-kyu can't catch such details.
The walls here are that of a typical rich family's house long ago.
Look inside.
One, two.
Can you see?
- I can't.
- Those two are so different.
Ho-dong and Hee-won.
- They are different.
- He hates working too hard.
Hee-won hates being full of spirit.
- These are nice birch trees.
- You really know a lot about trees and flowers.
- Those are birch trees.
- I was talking with Sun-gyun, and he knows Hee-won's personality.
He hates being full of spirit.
- Relax.
- We're one team now.
- I think I'm in the wrong place.
- Originally, Ho-dong and I were talking together,
and Hee-won was with Kyung-kyu.
- Hee-won is trapped.
- Look at the color of those flowers.
- Wow, red.
- The crocks.
- This reminds me of the movie "The Hole."
- Let's go now.
- Wow, the walls are high.
- This kind of talk.
- That kind of talk.
- Time it right.
This and that kind of talk.
- Hey, Sun-gyun.
- Ma'am, are you cleaning?
Ma'am.
- They'll go their way. It's tough for Hee-won today.
He's going through a lot.
His soul evaporated.
- (Narration) Ah, it is gone.
Hee-won's soul has flown far, far away.
- This and that kind of talk.
This and that kind of talk.
- Hee-won hates that.
- Me too.
- Sun-gyun!
- This is so fun, Kyung-kyu.
- Kyung-kyu.
- Don't do that.
- (Narration) Hee-won is caught in Ho-dong's trap.
Even before finding his name, he faces the biggest crisis of his 27 years of acting.
- If he slips in like this, then just slip out like this.
- Kyung-kyu.
Um...
- Let Sun-gyun get some of it.
- Oh my, what is this?
This.
- Pepper.
- The royal azaleas are about to bloom.
- Let's pass by.
- Let me hold your hand.
- You abandoned me.
- You know how I was walking with him?
I thought, do I have to do this?
Should I not? I thought that for everything else.
But for the two-step trot, I thought again, do I have to do this?
But I was doing it, so I thought, what's wrong with me?
- You were being dragged along by Ho-dong.
- You talk about this and that, and eat this and that kind of side dishes.
- (Narration) Walking around this and that alley of Hye-hwa area,
the four men have finished exploring.
- Who will team with who?
We need to decide.
- Who were you going to team with, Hee-won?
- Let's go.
Kyung-kyu, I feel like I'm being dragged away.
- I hate people who don't do their best and try to play it easy.
You need to walk with purpose.
- I originally don't have energy.
- He's doing his best.
- Look at the big picture.
- Big picture?
Alright.
- Then you decide, Sun-gyun.
- Let's team up like this.
I'll just team up with you.
I think this will be good.
- I have a higher chance of succeeding.
- I heard.
That Ho-dong always fails.
- Ho-dong has a higher chance of failing. He has his pains.
- Wait, wait. Hee-won.
If you team with me, you're dead.
If you're like this and then end up teaming with me, you can see yourself as dead.
Since he showed that he doesn't like me.
- Hey, where are you going?
- It's uncomfortable being in the middle.
- No, just sit down.
- How can we solve this problem?
- Why is this a problem?
- Should we do palms up or down today?
- Let's submit to fate.
- Alright.
- Whatever the case...
- It's palms up or down, Kyung-kyu. - Up or down.
- Palms up or down.
Go.
This and that kind of talk.
Get yourself together. Stand up.
This and that kind of talk.
- Ho-dong, I like you.
- When you're filming with me, whether you're happy or not
is of no importance.
With me, you have to pretend to be happy no matter what.
That's what's important to me. You need to always smile and be happy.
This and that kind of talk.
- I am.
- You have to do it when I go to the left.
In Hye-hwa area today, we'll have this and that kind of talk.
Act happy. Act happy.
- I'm totally acting like I'm happy.
- Hey, he'll get sick of you.
- Still, you have to act happy.
- I'm happy. - Happy, happy.
- Let's Eat Dinner Together.
- This and that kind of talk.
Let's Eat Dinner Together.
Let's go.
- It's blocked. - Let's go this way.
La la la la la.
- (Narration) With partners matched by fate,
the fated hour has finally come.
- Is this a studio flat?
I don't think anyone's home.
- What will you say when you ring the bell?
- Hello.
I'm actor Kim Hee-won.
Can we go in and have dinner with you?
- His expression isn't good.
- Where?
The front gate is open.
- There's the doorbell right there.
Why are you closing it?
So that it looks like it was originally closed?
Do it naturally.
Why are you closing the door like this?
- Then you'd go in too easily. That's why.
- Sun-gyun. - Should we go first?
- Yeah, there you go.
- I'm nervous.
- Sometimes people aren't home, right?
- Often.
No one's home.
- I'll press one more time.
- I don't think anyone's home. - Huh?
Hello.
Hello?
- No, no.
- I guess this stops after a few times.
I feel this every time, but I don't think I'll live up to my full years.
Whenever I ring the bell, my heart pounds.
Hee-won, let's try this place. - Here?
There are two no parking stickers.
- Hey, there is a car inside.
- The house is jointly owned. - Hello.
- I'm actor Kim Hee-won.
- Yes. - Do you know me?
-Yes?
- Do you know me?
I don't want to do this.
She hung up.
She came out.
- She came out.
- Explain well.
- Hello.
- She came out. - Who is it?
- I'm actor Kim Hee-won.
Hello.
I'm actor Kim Hee-won.
Do you know me?
- What is it?
- I'm on a show where we capture the dinner scene of Hye-hwa area
and have dinner with you.
Today, I wanted to have dinner with you
so I rang the bell.
- Well, do you need to come in, then?
- Yes, so if you have dinner with me,
we can quietly talk about life and hear your advice with Kang Ho-dong.
- Our show is called Let's Eat Dinner Together.
We go around this neighborhood and that neighborhood.
- Come in, come in.
- Thank you.
- Did you have dinner?
- I should now eat together.
- Then as you have dinner with us, ma'am,
will you become Kim Hee-won and Kang Ho-dong's family?
Will you?
- Please be our family for a meal.
- Come in.
- Ma'am, thank you.
You're a lucky charm.
- It's because I have a favorable impression.
I have a favorable impression.
- What's going on?
- This has nothing to do with being recognized.
- People are aware of you.
- You need to have a favorable impression.
Good luck. Hurry and go.
- Good luck, and may your movie become a big hit.
I'll see you next time.
- Being famous doesn't feed you.
- This is strange.
- Now it's the end of sufferings and beginning of happiness.
- Of course.
- She's Mrs. Kim So-nyuh.
- That's right.
Kyung-kyu, I'll see you next week.
- Sun-gyun, hurry and go that way.
A person should be polite and have a favorable impression.
- It'll be rude to make her wait too long
so we'll go in.
See you next week, staff.
Goodbye.
- Wow, let's go eat.
In one try.
- See, I said we'd make it.
- Is there such instance like this?
- No.
There was once.
Hee-won should get humiliated a few times.
My goodness.
He needs to get humiliated.
Since they went in at 6:10 PM, they'll get off of work early.
I should've teamed with Hee-won when I had the chance.
- Kyung-kyu, I'll do my best.
- Hey, isn't this strange?
- That house had a good vibe.
The car was parked in the front.
We still have time.
- Excuse us.
- (Narration) Instantly washing away Hee-won's sorrows,
the two are joining the dinner table in Hye-hwa area.
- Ma'am, your name is so beautiful.
'So-nyuh,' like a little lady.
What were you doing? - Let me wear my socks.
I was just writing down Bible scriptures.
- You were writing down Bible scriptures?
- Yes, I was.
- Like this.
Were you writing down good passages yourself like this?
- Yes.
- Then who do you live with here?
- I was living with my husband,
but he passed away three years ago.
So I lived alone for two years, but my sons
couldn't move in with me.
So my daughter moved in to live with me.
- Pictures of your sons.
Then you have three sons and one daughter?
- Yes.
- Then are you living with just your daughter?
- No.
My daughter, her husband, and me.
- Is that so?
Are they not home?
- They're busy working at the factory.
- Even on the weekend.
Ma'am, when we rang the bell, he said he was actor Kim Hee-won.
- I know.
I know.
I know every one of you.
- I thought since she's so warm-hearted, even if she didn't know me,
she opened the door for us.
- I think...
- It's because you're trying to
make a living, so I opened the door.
- That's right.
I'm trying to make a living.
- What could you do?
- Ma'am, when were you planning to eat?
With who and what were you going to eat?
- Since I eat alone, I didn't want to eat.
- Do you always eat alone?
- I always eat alone.
Since I eat alone, when I eat lunch, I don't eat dinner.
When I don't eat lunch, I eat dinner.
- Even for a feast, rather than eating alone...
- It's not good to be alone.
It's good to have people around.
- If Hee-won and I hadn't come today,
I don't you would've eaten dinner.
- I wouldn't have.
- Ma'am, then you'll be able to have a good dinner today, right?
- Then I need to hurry and get ready.
- We will help you, ma'am.
Just prepare as you would normally do.
- Ma'am, we brought our own spoons.
- My goodness.
- The braised cutlass fish... - How embarrassing.
- You prepared this to eat for yourself.
- Have it. I'll warm it up for you.
- We'll eat this with you, ma'am.
- What should I do? You came so suddenly.
- Ma'am, I'll wash these lettuces.
I can wash them like this.
We can add anything here to have with rice.
- All we need is soy bean paste.
Kimchi and soy bean paste.
I'd eat even if we don't have them because I'm hungry.
- I used to run a market.
I sold clothes.
- Oh, did you sell clothes?
- At Namdaemun.
- My mother sold clothes at Dongdaemun.
- (Narration) This fascinating relationship had its connections here too.
- Eat, eat.
I'll do it.
- I'll do it.
Do you often eat without your family?
- They're busy and come home late from work, so how could I?
I need to eat alone.
- Where does your daughter work?
- She make clothes right around this neighborhood.
- She makes clothes.
- Try this.
- I'll serve this.
This sound, ma'am. This is a delicious sound.
- The braised cutlass fish looks really good.
- (Narration) Neat side dishes come out from her fridge.
- Ma'am.
- (Narration) A meal that wouldn't have happened
if she was alone finally comes to life.
- I usually have rice, but I cooked little today.
You can have a little bit
and not a lot.
- (Narration) With a heart of a son, Hee-won and Ho-dong help set the table.
- Let's have this like a stew.
- (Narration) The table is fully set with a meal that's more joyful with more people.
- This is a feast.
- (Narration) This meal is that of Mrs. Kim So-nyuh in Hye-hwa area that is
prepared even warmer and abundant for her new family who struggles to make a living.
- Ma'am, where do you usually sit?
When you eat alone? - I sit here to eat.
- Ma'am, pretend that Hee-won and I aren't here
and comfortably eat as if you normally would alone.
Just this situation.
One Meal Theater, cue.
- How embarrassing is it see me on TV?
Have a bite.
It's good.
- (Narration) Instead of her busy daughter, Ho-dong fills the seat.
- This is my first meal.
If you didn't give us food, I would've almost died.
- From working.
- It's hard to make a living these days.
- (Narration) As hard as it is to make a living, Hee-won opens his mouth wide.
A bite of this lettuce wrap melts away every hardship from the day.
- Ma'am, this...
- It's wild chives.
- Wild chives?
- I planted them.
- Wild chives are in season these days.
- That's right.
I'll add some wild chives here.
- (Narration) With her signature wild chives sauce,
Ho-dong experiences a new taste of lettuce wraps.
The mother who thought of skipping dinner
smiles like a young girl at the full dinner table.
- Ma'am, did your daughter make this?
Or did you cook everything yourself?
- My daughter cooks everything.
- Your daughter?
She cooks them and goes out to work?
- (Narration) A meal that would've been sorry to miss
has become one that makes one thank each other.
- Look at this.
We finished a meal in a flash.
Hee-won, do you like meat or fish?
What do you like?
- I like having rice, lettuce, and ssamjang sauce.
- More than meat?
More than fish? - Yes.
I like this so much.
- I don't eat meat that much.
- Do you not eat beef or pork?
- I don't touch pork.
My late husband liked pork.
- Was he sick...?
- He suddenly passed away.
I don't know. I hurt my leg and had an operation,
and he took care of me, and he suddenly passed away.
- Ma'am, did you hurt your leg?
- Yes, I fell down.
- How long were you in the hospital?
- I was in the hospital for 20 days and then came home.
- And your late husband took care of you.
- I was so sorry that when he passed away,
I couldn't even cry.
What tears?
It was like the sky and earth had collapsed and war broke out.
My heart hurt so much to even cry.
- How startled were you...
He was healthy but passed away in an instant.
Ma'am, when do you miss him the most?
- Whenever I went out somewhere, he always
waited for me at the front gate.
- When you came back home?
- He never let me carry anything heavy.
Whenever I come home, I feel like he'd be at the front gate.
The house feels empty when I come in. I lived two years like that.
In the evenings, I always have the lights on.
It feels like he's at home with me.
- Even in your opinion, were you in good terms?
- We married through a matchmaker, but we still lived well together.
- Who set you two up?
The blind date?
- Long ago, when I got married, there was no such thing.
- Rather than getting to know each other,
did you get married right when you met?
- The adults did as they pleased.
- Then did you meet your husband for the first time
at the wedding hall?
- Folks living in Seoul probably had blind dates and such,
but in the countryside, we had to do as we were told by the adults.
- Do you remember what year?
- I married when I was 19 years old,
but I don't remember the year.
- Ma'am, how old are you this year?
- I'm 70 years old.
- Then it was 51 years ago.
Since you were 19 years old.
It was 50 years ago, so there were no photos, right?
- There was no photo studio.
- Then you couldn't see your husband's face even through photos.
- When you first saw him in person,
what did you think?
- I didn't like him...
- You were 19 years old.
- I didn't want to get married.
I didn't want to get married, but the adults said to do so,
so I had to, but if it was now, I wouldn't have.
- Is this a villa?
- Should we try ringing this villa?
When we passed by, someone must have gone in,
because I saw the door closing.
When visiting...
Ugh, I don't know.
- Hello.
I'm actor Lee Sun-gyun.
- Yes, hello.
- Do you know me?
- Yes.
- Hello.
Did you eat dinner?
- I didn't yet.
- We're doing a show where
we eat dinner together.
If you'll allow us, could we visit your home
and take time to have a friendly conversation?
- A friendly conversation.
- Our family is just about to go out to eat.
- Is that so?
Thank you.
- They're going out to eat.
I guess people talk with different vocabularies.
A friendly conversation.
A friendly conversation while eating dinner...
Let's try here.
Like your movie, let's do it until the end.
Did they go out to eat since it's Saturday?
- I don't think they're home.
- Since it's the weekend, there are some empty houses.
- This house. Should we try this one?
Oh, that startled me!
Seeing this notice, I don't think they're home.
They didn't take this off.
Kim Hee-won is lucky.
- When it happens, it happens very easily.
- (Narration) The greatness of the lucky man hits home.
- Let's go.
- There's no doorbell. - It's broken.
- Should we try? - Let's do it.
This is Mr. Baek's place.
I've never seen someone press the bell as well as you.
- Really?
- You press repeatedly.
Why do you press the bell so rapidly?
You're the best.
No one's home.
- The hanok.
- Huh?
Hye-hwa area of Jongno district.
- Who is it?
- Hello.
I'm actor Kim Sun-gyun.
- What?
- Yes, ma'am, I'm actor Kim Sun-gyun.
- Right now we are...
- Do you know me, ma'am?
- I don't know. I work here.
No one's home.
- Alright, thank you.
- Hee-won took an upturn while you're going downhill.
- Kyung-kyu, let's go to brighter-colored gates.
All these gates look rigid.
Hanok, hanok.
- Hanok is the best. Let's try one.
Hye-hwa are is very nice.
He presses the bell every boldly.
- So what if I press boldly?
- This is awesome.
Is no one home?
Hey, the meter is not moving.
It means no one is home.
The meter should move if the lights are on.
I've become like a burglar now.
- We should check the meters first.
- There's a dog inside.
- Kyung-kyu, this isn't moving either.
- Yes.
- Hello.
I'm actor Lee Sun-gyun.
- Oh, yes.
- Do you know me?
- Yes, yes.
- Do you know the show where we eat dinner together?
- Ah, yes.
- With your permission, Kyung-kyu and I
would like to eat dinner with you. How do you feel?
- Please wait.
- Yes, we'll wait.
- Please wait?
- But the family...
Hello.
- Hello.
- Nice to meet you. - If it's alright with you...
- We're about to eat, but I haven't
asked my wife yet, so I'll talk with her.
- We'll wait.
- You don't have to feel pressured.
- Good luck, sir!
- Let's wait.
Sometimes the couples fight.
The women are the ones who decide.
- Since it's showing their house.
- Yes, so the women are sensitive about that.
This house has children too.
- If we succeed here, we're not late, right?
- We're not late.
- The other team was too fast, right?
- They were.
We are a bit...
- (Narration) They're already excited when there's no news from the father.
I think they're fighting.
If it takes this long... 'Let's be on the show.'
'Please reconsider.'
- If it was our house, I'd be in trouble.
- This shouldn't take so long.
- If you can film just the minimum. - Yes?
- Ah, yes.
- Minimum?
We need to film the maximum.
Wait. Go in to see if it's enough to film our dinner.
Sun-gyun, go inside and ask. - Me?
Do I need to do that too? - Of course you should.
- Me? Not the PD?
- Why are you trying to have it easy?
- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes.
- We're the ones eating with you.
- I don't now if there's anything to eat.
- We can eat whatever you normally eat.
- We can't go in if you're uncomfortable.
Talk with your husband again.
Because if you're uncomfortable...
She's feeling shy.
Let's keep this house
and go to another house.
- (Narration) Again, the greatness of the lucky man hits home.
Have they ever waited so ardently for someone?
- Yes.
- (Narration) After a long wait, what is the answer?
- Our second child earnestly wants to.
- Yes, yes.
- My second child kept on insisting.
- No parent wins over their child.
- Please let us know when you're ready.
- No parent wins over their child.
- Their children earnestly wants us to come in, so if we give them time,
they'll clean up and allow us to come in.
I knew Hye-hwa area was warm-hearted.
- It's the best.
I think this is the shortest time that both teams have succeeded.
- Right? - I think we've cleaned up somewhat.
- Thank you.
- What's your dog's name? - Dal-gom.
- What? - Dal-gom.
- Why is it Dal-gom?
- Because he looks like an Asiatic black bear.
- Oh, an Asiatic black bear.
On the front?
- On the chest.
- Hello, yes, hello.
- (Narration) Through their earnestness,
the two men are joining for dinner at a picturesque hanok.
Who said let's do it?
- Hi.
- This kid said let's do it.
- What's his name? - Seo-ho.
- Seo-ho, nice to meet you.
Yes, this man is an actor. Do you know me?
- Mr. Kyung-kyu.
- That's right. Mr. Lee Kyung-kyu.
- Seo-ho, come here.
- He's very smart.
Come here. - Come here.
- What's your name? - Park Seo-hyun.
- Seo-hyun?
- Seo-hyun.
Seo-ho.
Look at those photos.
Photos of their kids. Did you take them while traveling?
- When we went to the beach... We took photos of them.
- Right?
- Can you please sit here for now?
I need to boil the soup.
- Ma'am, if there's anything I can do to help, I will.
- No, no.
- I was once a chef.
- Of course.
He's good at cooking.
- (Narration) The ex-Italian chef sets up
a bigger table for the bigger family.
- Why did you say let's do it?
- I thought it would be fun.
- That's a Wigglytuff sticker.
You get that if you eat the Pokemon bread.
- Do you like Pokemon?
- I have the Pokemon cards and the game too.
- My son loves Pokemon too. The cards.
-I have over 100 Pokemon cards.
- It's Saturday evening.
Did you plan on going out?
- It was a holiday yesterday, so I went to play golf.
I was tired so...
- You decided to eat at home since you're tired.
How did you come to live in Hye-hwa area?
- Our newlywed house was at Ssang-mun area,
but because of the noise between the floors...
- Oh, was there a problem with that?
- So we were looking for a house, and there was a hanok.
So my wife and I didn't know anything about this place but decided to move.
- How about Seo-ho?
Do you like the apartment or here better?
- I like it here. - Do you?
Because kids run around. How about Seo-hyun?
- I like it here. - Really?
- I can run around.
- Because you can run around.
When you get older, you'll like apartments better.
How do you feel about us being here?
Is it cool? - Yes.
-Your face came up on the screen.
- Did you recognize me?
- I saw you and thought, oh, it must be Let's Eat Dinner Together.
- With this?
Should we try this?
To see how our faces come out?
I was really curious.
- Shall I go out and try?
- Yeah, do it.
- Should I go out?
- I'll see how you look.
- The cameras must be nice these days.
- Is that why?
I've never seen from inside.
Wow, you can see very well.
Who are you?
- Hello.
I'm actor Lee Sun-gyun.
- Ah, yes.
- Do you know me?
- What do you do?
- Ah, yes...
I act. I'm an actor who came out in 'Pasta' and 'A Hard Day'
called Lee Sun-gyun.
Can we eat dinner together?
- Alright, come in.
- Next time...
Yes, thank you.
- You can see everything.
- Is the resolution nice?
- You can see everything.
You can't help but recognize.
- Really?
- The smell.
- Is she cooking meat?
- Ma'am, can I help with anything?
- Ma'am, just cook as you normally would.
- Potato soup.
- Potato soup with tofu.
- (Narration) She uses tasty meat and potatoes
to prepare potato soup,
and various ingredients that are nutritious for the children
are deliciously cooked with their mother's love.
- Seeing how they are, living in an apartment would have been no problem.
They're quiet.
- Our kids are calm when other people are around.
- When we leave?
- When we leave, they jump around.
- I totally understand.
We have a 9-year-old and a 7-year-old.
Two sons.
- That's tremendous.
- They jump and knee me on my back.
- Do you and your wife work?
- We did, but now my wife quit work now.
We worked for the same company.
- A workplace romance.
- She was in the adjacent team, and I asked her out for lunch through the messenger.
- How brave.
- Yours was a workplace romance too.
- Since our office was the same.
- Your agency?
- Yours is a workplace romance too.
- How many years did you date?
- We dated a short time.
We received a gift.
- Ah.
- What did they call that long ago? The technical term.
- What? Technical term?
- There was a term for that.
Shotgun wedding.
- Technical term?
- Technical term.
- Nowadays, they call that a gift.
- That's right.
- It was the biggest gift.
She's older than me.
- What? - Really?
- She's older than me.
- She looks very young.
- You're saying unnecessary things.
This and that kind of talk.
- Ma'am, should I set up the eating utensils?
- The kids can do it.
We have our kids do that.
- Go.
- Will you?
- (Narration) Like usual, the children help with setting up the eating utensils.
- Thank you.
- (Narration) For the unexpected guests on a Saturday evening,
every side dish has appeared on the table.
Even the raw paprika for the family's health.
- How simple. Wow, the pickled radish.
- Paprika.
- Oh, paprika.
I'm sorry.
I'm not in my right senses.
They're paprika.
- You might have to eat two.
- Two pieces per person.
- (Narration) This meal is that of a family in Hye-hwa area on a Saturday evening,
that is modest yet substantial with nutrition and warmth like the hanok.
- We need to film a One Meal Theater.
- The side dishes...
- It's alright.
- It's 90% similar to our house's dinner table.
- Oh, really.
- Please eat.
Ready.
- Eat, eat.
You need to eat two each.
The paprika.
- Why not just one? - It's good for you.
Eat two each.
Don't scoop too much.
Do it after you eat. - I'm going to eat just this much.
- Do it after you eat.
What's this?
Is the soup good?
- Everyone's eating so fast.
- We're almost finished.
- You're almost finished.
- Thank you for the food.
Thank you.
Enjoy your food.
- It's two each.
- I already ate mine.
- Is it two pieces every day?
- Yes.
- Ma'am, thank you for the food.
- This is so good.
- You came when there's really nothing.
- No, no.
It's alright.
- I'm so sorry.
- You came when we don't even have kimchi.
- We ran out of kimchi at lunch today.
- No, it's good. - I'm sorry.
- The soup is good.
- (Narration) Kyung-kyu is in love with today's beef and potato soup.
- It's good. - Isn't the soup so good?
- (Narration) In a house that's just like the family,
the chef is eating a charming dinner.
Sun-gyun is not excused from the two pieces of paprika either.
- I heard the children's tastes depend on the baby food.
- When I was little...
- Did you eat your paprika?
- Yes.
- I came in first place at school for the four-person relay.
- Really? - In my class.
- In your class?
- Good job.
- The kids have brassware, while the parents don't.
- My mother-in-law gave them as gifts to the children when they were little.
- She gave them as gifts.
- She did.
- For them to eat out of.
- Actually, we used chinaware, but they broke them.
- Because they dropped them?
Brassware doesn't break even if you drop them.
- When we ask them to put their plates in the sink, they throw them.
- They throw them.
- These kids eat very calmly.
Your kids run around, and they can't eat.
- They run around after eating a spoonful. - They do.
- In the morning, we have to eat quickly, so we just let it go.
When I'm at home for dinner, it takes nearly 40 minutes.
- To eat?
- Yes, so when we try to feed them dinner, we raise our voices.
- Hey!
Aren't you going to eat?
- They crawl under the table.
- Under?
- Come out. Come out.
Hey, come out. One.
They go in the main room.
- It's really hard for the moms to feed their children.
- It's so hard.
He was so hard.
- Now?
Is he alright now?
- He's good today.
- You don't need to kneel like that while eating.
- He's short sitting down, so that's his way of survival.
- Do you know the village with the instructor?
- Cheong-hak area.
- They eat kneeling like that.
- Put it in the sink.
- Where are you going?
- To put it in the sink.
They put it in the sink after they finish.
- Oh, really?
- They put in their soup too. - Do you ask them to do it?
- That's why they broke all the bowls.
- They threw him the chinaware.
- How amazing.
This is the Hye-hwa area vibe.
Look at that.
- He'll now throw it.
- Because he has a sister.
- (Narration) The children of the Hye-hwa area family take away their own plates.
We're curious about their birth.
- So how many years did you date within the company?
- Did we marry in 8 months?
You just told them.
8 months.
- We dated 5 months and then married.
- I heard you married because you prepared your gift early.
The fire in 5 months...
- I did too.
I'm not saying anything.
- You made a gift too?
- But I dated 7 years before doing that.
- You dated a long time.
- My parents really wanted it.
They wanted me to hurry and marry.
- I was originally working in the company,
and she came into the adjacent team.
We were the youngest there, and the youngest employees
manage the coffee and such.
- Minor tasks.
- When her team ran out of coffee, she came over to me for coffee,
and I lent her and asked when she'd pay back and such.
- I see.
- I think it's my own memory.
- Do you remember this?
- Yes, yes.
Such things...
- Their concept is like this show.
He clicked on the messenger.
- Originally, there was somebody who was going to get us together.
- In the middle?
- But that person quit the company without doing so.
- The company?
Then what could I do?
- I asked her out to eat through the messenger.
- I was going to introduce someone to him.
Because he was younger, and there were company rules.
- You were sorry to give him to another, but not satisfied to have as your own?
- Such behind story...
- We opened up about our relationship.
After a week or ten days?
After ten days.
- I thought it was two weeks.
- Is it?
Anyway.
- Why did you open up so quickly?
- My boss kept asking me if I had a boyfriend.
- To introduce you to someone?
- Yes, so...
- It's hard to imagine now,
but many people had an eye on her.
- I was pretty.
- You must have been a beauty.
I totally understand.
- Did you see her?
I was pretty.
- I've gained so much weight.
No, no.
You are a beauty.
- You are a beauty now.
- You were popular back then, right?
- Someone who wanted to set me up,
and I couldn't lie, so...
- Did you open up first?
- I went to my boss and told him too.
- What did you say to your boss?
- That I'm going out with her.
- So what did he say?
- I thought it was something serious.
- Pretend he is your boss and reenact that situation.
See how he did it.
- I have something to tell you.
- What?
- I can't tell you here.
Let's go for a smoke.
- Just do it.
Is it important?
- There's someone called Kim Hye-ju in the adjacent team.
- Who? - Kim Hye-ju.
- Yeah.
- I'm going out with her.
- What?
- We're going out.
- You?
For what?
- I need to get married too.
- Go ahead.
- If I were his boss, I'd be like,
you're not doing the work I asked you to do,
and you're dating?
Tell her to come here.
- I think my boss thought like Kyung-kyu.
My boss said, you came into this company, and you're being paid and also dating.
He said that.
- Sure. Good for you.
The company pays you, and you also date.
Oh my.
Did you propose?
You didn't?
- Vaguely.
- You let it pass?
- I collected the movie tickets we saw together.
- The movie tickets you saw together?
- I collected the movie tickets and pictures
and arranged them in a notebook like a story.
So when you turned to the last page, the ring came up.
- That's a good idea.
- That's an idea.
- How did you propose?
- At that time, there was a cafe that
my wife, her brother, and I were running.
In technical terms, ours was a shotgun wedding too.
We dated for 7 years.
After we took out wedding photos, I had secretly called her friends and
my friends out to the cafe in advance.
I told her I was going out to drink with my friends
so I need to hurry and go.
I made her angry on purpose.
She was furious.
It was even raining.
My cousin is part of a brass band,
and I cast them to the surprise party, and I held up the Korean flag.
- The Korean flag.
I made a promise to the flag. Didn't I say this in Healing Camp?
We had a party like that.
- You're losing.
- Why did you ask?
- Like a movie.
- Like filming a movie.
Here.
- Just once.
- Like a movie.
- When you do the job, you do it well.
- I'll be good during our everyday lives.
- I don't think you are.
What did you like about your wife?
- Ah...
- Such a difficult question.
- It's a difficult question.
- Why?
- Wow, this is really fun.
This show is really fun.
The fun part is not when you press the bell and come in, but right here
where you talk together like this.
- Really.
- She was walking around and saying hello as a newcomer,
and I had a good impression of her.
- That's all I had, huh.
- She was pretty.
- You need to do well.
- She's pretty now too.
- You need to live. For us, it's over when we leave,
but if you're not careful, you're in trouble.
- I think I'm still hungover from yesterday.
- You need to live.
- (Narration) While the ex-office romance
unfolds its behind story.
- Ma'am, he's 47 years old.
47 years old.
He's 47 years old and hasn't married yet.
In your opinion, will it be good for him to marry
or to not marry?
- That's his choice. How can I decide?
- That's right.
- Do your parents pressure you to get married?
- My mother has never said such a thing.
- What would she be worried about?
She's worried only about you.
- She's worried if I'll be well off even when I'm older.
- He is an actor but was not known for 10 years.
- About 20 years.
- For 20 years, he had no income.
- No wonder. When he asked me if I knew him at the gate, I couldn't recall.
- Let's try a little bit harder.
Tell her the TV series you came out in.
- TV series.
My most recent one was "My Wife's Having an Affair This Week."
It aired on JTBC.
- I came out as a lawyer.
- He came out as a lawyer. Did you see him?
- I don't watch many other shows.
I watch things on KBS a lot.
- Have you heard of JTBC?
- JTBC.
- I don't watch it well.
I watch KBS a lot.
I only watch KBS.
- J, J JTBC needs to try harder too.
JTBC, you need to try harder.
- I should watch it.
- Should we try calling your daughter?
- Go ahead.
- You can answer like this.
- Hello?
- Yes.
- You can't come home since you're busy, right?
- I'm going right now. Why?
- Are you coming?
- Why?
- How long will you take?
- I'm going. Is someone there?
- I'm filming a movie right now.
Anyway, hurry up and come.
- What movie?
- Hello.
- Yes.
- I'm an entertainer.
- Yes, yes.
- Which entertainer do you like the best?
- Oh my, hello.
Kang Ho-dong.
Oh my goodness.
- Could you tell it was me by my voice?
- Of course.
I know by your voice.
- Guess who this person is.
- Hello.
Do you know who I am?
Just by my voice.
I'm an actor.
I came out in "The Man from Nowhere."
Did you see that movie?
- No, I'll let my husband talk.
- Hello.
Can you tell who I am by my voice?
Did you see "The Man from Nowhere."
"The Man from Nowhere"?
The movie.
- Yes, yes.
- Who is it? One, two, three.
- (Narration) Will he finally hear his name?
- Won Bin.
- Yes, that's right.
- They'll be very disappointed.
- What is this?
- Sir, ma'am.
Be careful and hurry on home.
- Alright.
- We'll talk when we meet.
- Yes.
- (Narration) A little while later, the daughter and her husband
has hurried home to meet Won Bin.
- Come in.
- Kang Ho-dong.
- What brings you to my house?
- This is our house.
- Hello.
I'm Kang Ho-dong that you talked with earlier.
Someone's in the bathroom right now.
You don't know if Won Bin is in there or someone else.
- Oh, the person we talked with?
- In Hye-hwa area, you work with clothes.
- I'm working in the clothing industry.
- Clothing, clothing.
- Our customers...
We receive orders, and separate vendors sell them.
- (Narration) The son-in-law doesn't recognize Won Bin.
- He didn't come yet.
The actor needs to come out.
- Isn't it this man?
- Do you know who I am?
- I'm sorry.
- Uh oh.
- I don't know your name.
- Let's wait.
Because the daughter might know.
- Were you disappointed that I wasn't Won Bin?
- No.
- Ma'am.
What is his name?
One, two, three.
- Kim Hee-yeon. - Kim.
- Actor Kim Hee-yeon.
- Yeon.
- Wrong.
Kim Hee-yeon is wrong.
- Isn't he Kim Hee-won?
- Kim. - Hee-won.
- Correct.
- I'm sorry.
I know your face very well.
- No, no.
- I know your face very well.
- Which TV series do you recall?
One, two, three.
- I don't...
- Stop it.
Please stop now.
Until when will you do this?
- You can't hit a person during a show.
You keep on...
- (Narration) Please remember.
Your name is Kim Hee-won.
- This is the first house that we rang, and she opened the door for us.
- My mother is alone, so she's bored.
- So she didn't open the door because she recognized me but because she was bored.
- All day.
- Being kind and sharing food is not important.
She was bored. - She opened the door because she was bored?
- He's a celebrity, and he's asking if I know his name.
How can I say I don't?
I should say I do.
- She doesn't know.
- Later, be on shows that
come out a lot on TV.
- The final blow.
- I'll try harder.
- Come out on AM Plaza.
- Come out on AM Plaza?
- If you come on that show, everyone will know you.
I'm saying the right thing.
- Should he come out on AM Plaza?
- You need to get married too.
You aren't married. How heartbroken would your mother be?
- All this time, she kept in what she wanted to say,
and the moment her daughter comes home, she's pouring them out.
Ma'am and your loving son-in-law and daughter.
What is your hope for this year?
- I hope that my four children and my grandchildren
are all healthy. First is health.
After living alone for awhile, it's nice to live together like this.
Don't think you're suffering. Live well.
Good things will happen as you live on.
- I don't think I'm suffering.
Since my mother was alone,
I came here thinking it was my deed
I don't know.
My mother...
- She's good to me.
The things that I eat.
- I pour my heart to not make her upset.
- She thinks of me and fills the fridge with food.
- Even though I make side dishes, she doesn't eat them well,
since she eats by herself.
If I could, I wish I could come to take care of her,
but I have work to do, so it doesn't work out easily.
I wish she would eat well even though she's alone,
and while she's living, I want her to make her comfortable.
- Ma'am.
- Since I eat by myself.
- Since you eat by yourself, you skip meals,
and that worried her very much.
So even when you're alone, never skip your meal
for your daughter.
- Yes.
- (Narration) Evening at Hye-hwa area is warm with the mother and daughter's hearts.
- What dreams do you have?
Your hopes.
- Hopes?
- When I was little, I vaguely dreamed
of living in a house with a yard with my family
and raising a dog.
- We need to move to a bigger house.
If we do...
- Just a little bit more from here.
- In a bigger house.
- With a bigger dog.
- I was going to say I fulfilled my dream.
- A bigger house.
- (Narration) The couple in Hye-hwa area are running together towards their dream.
- What's Kang Ho-dong doing right now?

Hello, everyone.
- We came to film Let's Eat Dinner Together.
- You will all starve.
- What?
- We could fail 100%?

Why aren't you working?
It's a hard time for the country, and the public health department is smoking?

That's it.

Sung-jae, let's go.
If we fail here, let's think it's the end.
- I feel like I'm really leaving healed.
This feels good. - Right?
- What I thought throughout this
was that I should eat with my mother more often.
Since I'm busy, I often can't eat with her,
so I should try to eat with her.
That came to my mind.
She felt like my mother.
- (Narration) A dinner where they called each other their names.
Will you join?
