(This program is about 2 MCs)
(who are praised and survived)
(in a jungle of variety shows.)
(This is a documentary about these two)
(going on a trip to find dinner.)
This is a university campus in Seoul.
The heat of youth
beats cool autumn's rain.
Only one person seems sullen...
I've never been to Chungang University!
Have you been here before?
I hold a lot of grudges against them.
As a Donguk University's
president of the alumni club?
No.
I was rejected from Chungang University...
I didn't even face the direction of it
when I slept.
Have pride as a Donguk!
Just think of it as a path...
That led me to Donguk.
That's the angle you need to take.
(Walking in the campus.)
Why are there so many trees in here?
Is this an old university?
Yup.
That's why.
When did this university open?
100 years?
100?
100 years!
Did you just get out from your class?
Yes, but we can't go home yet.
Why not?
Too much work...
Your boyfriend?
No!
We went through the same thing before!
Be careful!
So this university's 100 years old...
But Donguk's 120 years old.
Really?
It's older?
A lot of actors come from
Chungang University.
That's why our opening's here today!
A celebrity...
From Chungang University?
Is that it?
What do I do?
No one told me...
Just get ready.
(They seem too silly to be actors...)
This show was Let's Have what?
(Who are they...?)
Our guests should come by now.
(Found an escalator.)
You have to walk!
I'm sick.
Every step we take increases
our life expectancy!
Good for you.
But I'm sick.
Why do you think this is here?
It's so we can use it!
And I will!
A soccer lesson will be broadcast.
(Focus...)
It's them?
He's from Chungang University.
I know him.
(He actually knows someone...?)
Ho-dong!
Our guests are here.
Hurry!
Over there.
Kim Sung-ju!
Who?
Kim Sung-ju.
And Ahn Jung-hwan.
(A soccer broadcast randomly starts.)
To commemorate Korea's 9th
consecutive appearance in the World Cup,
Korea's legend,
Ahn Jung-hwan is here with us today
for an exhibition.
We don't have a commentator today...
Hurry! It's raining!
Unfortunately, rain is falling right now.
Jung-hwan put a lot of efforts
to his hair today.
Excuse me...
Could you hurry?
Got it!
Let's watch Jung-hwan's fancy
dribbling skills.
Ahn Jung-hwan!
A soccer legend of Korea...
He's lumbering on...
He's only a shell of what he used to be.
Now, he's just a father of two child.
He may have a beer belly now...
He only wears big shirts.
He shoots!
And it's high.
(Embarrassed...)
It sailed over the crossbar.
(Today's guest looks a bit off...)
What's going on!
(Kyu-dong walks over to the guests.)
Mr. Kim!
As we were talking!
The soccer fanatic, Lee Kyung-kyu...
Finally makes an appearance!
Sung-ju!
(Looks like a family reunion...)
Why do you look so pretty today?
Because I'm coming here!
Long time no see!
The National Team!
(Very glad to see today's guests!)
He took over the variety shows with
as an excellent host.
A true do-it-all, Kim Sung-ju.
One known as the best looking
soccer player in Korea.
But now managing variety shows
as he did on the soccer field...
Ahn Jung-hwan.
The two inseparable guys
came today as our guests.
(Today's guests, Kim Sung-ju)
(and Ahn Jung-hwan.)
(Glad to see them.)
We met in Please Take Care of My Fridge
and Carefree Travelers.
Then now here!
They're so loyal.
What are you doing?
It's because...
You only do your own shows.
He's from Chungang University.
That's right.
I'm an alumni here.
Jung-hwan, how are you related to here?
I started...
Playing soccer in Bondong Elementary here.
He lived here as a child.
I lived in Heukseokdong.
Where does it get its name from?
What?
I don't know anymore.
You knew before?
(Why does he want to know that?)
Does it mean black stone?
It does.
I thought he asked me if I knew
this district's congressman.
I have no idea who the congressman is.
You thought he said a congressman?
That's what I heard too!
Do you know the congressman?
A congressman?
He doesn't know politics.
Look at the flow...
We're supposed to look around
Heukseokdong today.
(Here he goes again...)
He's right.
Why would I ask who the congressman is?
The viewers will remember this moment.
I'm not using an umbrella.
I'm trying to get to the viewers.
He's such a fraud!
He's so insincere.
It's his work ethic.
This is music.
Let me do it.
(Since you don't need one...)
He'll get soaked.
That's what he wanted.
Don't you think this is nice?
Okay...
This is romantic...
Sung-ju!
I'm scared of Kyung-kyu.
I'm allergic to him.
You guys have a history!
I get scared around him...
At least Ho-dong listens to me.
But Kyung-kyu just ignores me!
(What happened between them?)
You know how we take characters sometimes?
We act uncomfortable on purpose...
I'm worried because...
They really didn't like each other.
I know.
I know the beer can story.
I complained about it to him so much...
In about 30 years of my career...
I threw it once!
Was that too much?
I understand if I did it 10 times.
What happened?
He was sleeping when I was talking.
It was past 3am...
3 in the morning...
Even our producer was tired.
More importantly...
That can was full.
I found out after it hit me.
If it was empty, it wouldn't have flown...
(What a terrible excuse.)
That's why Sung-ju only drinks
bottled beer now.
He hates cans.
I hate cans!
Hold his hands!
I'm still scared of him.
He's the only one I'm scared of.
Why don't you approach him first?
You're younger than him.
Say, I was too timid back then.
I'll try to be more brave
and I need your support.
Then give him a hug
and a handshake.
(Awkward.)
Make up with him
so it's less awkward.
They're in a same team already.
(Offers a handshake first...)
Please take care of me.
(A bit more Kyung-kyu...)
Did I scare you?
It was okay...
Let's go!
(Hopefully they can be friends!)
Since we're on grass field
with Jung-hwan...
Whenever I see Jung-hwan on a field,
Lord of the Rings first
comes to my mind first.
Should we ask?
(We even have a soccer ball here.)
Why don't you try to stop him?
Go in goal.
I'll stop him.
It'll be hard to stop him alone.
I definitely can if I try.
Really?
What do I get if I do?
Do I get a wish?
Sure.
Really?
A wrestler will try to stop
a soccer player's shot!
This is a special circumstance.
It definitely is.
2002 World Cup's superstar...
The legend...
Ahn Jung-hwan steps up for the PK.
(Can Ho-dong stop him?)
Jung-hwan shoots!
(And scores!)
Not even close!
That was fast.
You're so good...
Why couldn't you score against Italy?
You made the game so tough for us!
That story hurts more than
the beer can!
Not a lot of people remember that.
But he's right.
(Let's not bring that up...)
Okay.
I got our mission right here.
This is today's mission.
Go to Heukseokdong
to have a meal!
Heukseokdong, Dongjak-gu in Seoul.
It's got its name from abundance
of black rocks.
It's got mountains to the back
and water to the front.
With Heukseok Station as the center,
university, hospital and bazaars
form its downtown.
Both modern and old houses coexist here.
It's a town where time stood still...
Will they be able to find a meal here?
Let's Have Dinner Together episode 54.
The Friendly Pigeon.
This university...
Is built on a hillside.
This is the top
by the back gate.
It's downhill until the front gate.
Just walking around her
must be a work out then.
It is.
I remember girls didn't like it because
their legs would get too thick.
Walking around here is so tiring.
But it changed so much!
(A lot has changed since he was here...)
Did you meet your wife here?
Me?
Yes.
I was in the class of 91
and she was in the class of 93.
I have a lot of memories around here.
I used to save her spot at the library
early in the morning...
We didn't really study much.
We just saved our spots
and just hung out.
Go eat food...
Good old days.
They lived together too.
No we didn't!
Just over here.
That's not true.
I lived alone
and she lived in a boarding house.
I met her by our central gate
on 9/27 in 1993...
That's when I first met her.
She came over to my house.
Why?
She asked me out.
Really?
I was handsome back then.
She asked you?
She's really brave.
She is.
She threw small stones on my window
so when I opened my window...
She said, we need to talk.
People threw things at you even before!
She threw small rocks.
I didn't see that one coming.
And?
We got married on October 19th, 2002.
In early October that year...
This is where I proposed.
If you go down the stairs,
there's a bench on the right side!
(Sung-ju remembers every detail.)
Do you see that bench?
That's where I proposed.
Here?
Yes!
Let's check it out!
It's right over there.
That one?
Look.
We didn't sit there.
We sat over here...
How did you propose?
I had a guitar with me all the time
back then and I even sang.
So we were sitting here and...
I gave her the ring!
What did you say?
Did you propose like a caster?
We're in Chungang University today.
And I'm about to propose!
The ring's going in!
It's going in!
She dropped it!
I was being pretty serious...
We've been dating for 9 years.
So I said thank you to her.
Can you sing the song you sang?
Sure.
I sing this song to my kids a lot too.
It's our family's song.
Like this.
Now we have a very happy family
with 3 kids.
To Sung-ju...
Who has a family...
I threw a beer can...
(Say goodbye to that bad memory...)
Let's take this bench with us!
It's a special bench.
Use this as a couch.
He must feel really bad for what he did...
He's trying to take care of you.
I already let it go!
(Leave it where it belongs...)
(Let's go to scout the town!)
Was that your first proposal?
Are you crazy?
I heard there was one more.
No?
Did this exist back then too?
This is the Dragon Bond.
This is our symbol.
And that's our main building.
This place haven't changed at all!
Jung-hwan used to come here a lot too.
I used to catch frogs here.
When Jung-hwan was young
he must've played soccer
on a pitch here.
Yes, right down there.
The pitch didn't have any grass.
This town is very special
to both Jung-hwan and Sung-ju.
Do you want to see
where I used to live?
Really?
It's not far.
I used to walk on this street
all the time.
I'm not sure if my house is still there...
A lot of viewers might not know
this town very well.
Alumni of Chungang
must love this episode.
(One person who's very happy to be here.)
That Kyunghoe Market by that crossing
is the only market here.
The only one.
So these buildings are at least
30 or 40 years old?
Yes.
That was the market.
And there was a video room
in the basement here.
We didn't go to watch movies...
Yup.
(You don't have to explain.)
You probably know what I'm talking about.
With who?
With my wife.
We're here.
She and I have so many memories here.
Thank goodness you married her.
You wouldn't have these stories then.
I hope you guys are friends now.
Wait.
(They look much closer than before.)
Kyung-kyu's not normally that nice.
But he's staying with Sung-ju today
(Kyung-kyu's a new man.)
It's this building!
(He looks very passionate today.)
On the 2nd floor.
So that used to be my terrace.
(Sung-ju's old house.)
Someone lives here!
Hi.
Do you live here?
Yes!
Can we go in for a minute?
Sure.
The formal and the current tenants
just met!
Yup.
I moved out on 1996.
Wasn't this your wife's home?
No, this was my house.
She used to live over there.
Over here.
(Just a few steps away.)
That used to be her boarding house.
Could you see her from your house?
She was on the 2nd floor too.
I used to live here.
This house.
But this didn't exist back then.
This wasn't an entrance.
What major are you?
Korean Literature.
Nice to meet you.
What class?
13.
13 makes you...
22 years older than him.
Yup.
(Class of '13 and '91.)
Nice to meet you.
Pay for his tuition.
Why don't you go in to see?
Can I?
Sure.
Let me see how dirty it is first.
(Came back after almost 20 years.)
What's this?
Bathroom...
It's a studio?
This place was split in half!
This used to be one apartment
but it was split in half.
I see...
I used to study in this room...
(Nice to meet you.)
This is so awesome!
Since 1993...
I lived here since I met my wife...
I was born in 1993.
Really?
I moved in when you were born...
93, 94, 95, 96...
I lived here for 6 years.
I'm tearing up.
How does it feel?
(Busy taking selfies.)
It used to be a 2 bedroom apartment.
But they're 2 studios now.
Do you have a girlfriend?
No.
Then...
(If you don't have a girlfriend...)
See who lives here.
A female student here...
Could be into you.
If she really does,
that's destiny!
(That's definitely a destiny!)
Thank you.
Good luck on your studies!
(After meeting the current tenant)
(of his apartment...)
They all changed to studios now.
So with the university...
In the middle,
these houses sprawl out?
Yes.
They're all studios
and boarding homes for students.
A lot of people must live alone.
Chowon Villa still exists too!
(It's over 20 years old.)
Jung-hwan!
Did you play soccer when you lived here?
I started when I was
an elementary school student here.
What grade were you when you started?
4th grade.
4th grade?
How did you start playing?
I did it for bread and milk
we got after our practice.
Do you remember the green milk box?
I just wanted milk and bread.
That's why you started?
A lot of people start playing sports
for that reason.
Just like church...
Before you get faith...
Churches used to give out
breads and milk too.
When he and I were in sports...
It was a lot different
than how it is now.
Things were very strict
and seniority meant everything.
You did everything as a group.
Even group punishments.
And very strict.
Yup.
I had eggs in my packed lunch once...
And I got beat up for that...
Because it's bad luck.
You got it trouble for that?
Let's go.
Let's.
He listened a lot today.
It's because of you!
Thanks to Sung-ju.
Thanks to the beer can,
Kyung-kyu's very lenient today.
This is a quite a climb.
Can you get that with a camera?
(A steep hill that leads to the houses.)
Heukseokdong is strictly
mountain at the back, water in the front.
The National Cemetery is here
because it faces the Han River
and have mountains at the back.
It's great for feng shui.
I think that's why it's here.
It's known for its great feng shui.
The Han River flows right by it too.
It's over there.
And mountains are over there.
This area is mainly
studios and apartments for students
and that area is for families.
Jung-hwan.
What do you think about
the next World Cup?
Next year?
That's a good question.
I know.
I think we'll go to the round of 16.
Really?
But a lot of people are worried.
The transition period hit us hard.
Our players know we're not good.
But that's when we can do better.
They'll try harder.
Knowing that you're an underdog
makes you work harder.
Look!
Jung-hwan!
Is that where everything started?
Yes.
In 4th grade.
Look at the view of the river.
Did you know you'd play for your country
back then?
No.
Did you know you'd miss a PK
against Italy?
In 4th grade?
No, I didn't.
After he missed the PK...
I sympathized with him so much...
The camera kept shooting him!
(Damn It.JPG)
He was in agony.
That must've been so painful.
When Seol Ki-hyun scored...
He was so relieved.
Really?
Of course I was happy.
Then when he scored...
He lay down next to the goal.
He didn't want anyone to come.
He smartly went to the cameras though.
Take pictures of me!
I just scored!
That goal saved him.
Exactly!
He must've felt so relieved!
He even cried!
Not because you won?
No, I was relieved.
In Heukseok,
where his soccer career started,
he reminisces about the 2002 World Cup.
Heukseokdong is really welcoming
Sung-ju and Jung-hwan.
The rain even stopped.
I love birds chirping after rain.
This looks like a TV set.
(Looks like a set of a town in the past.)
Like a scene where the main character
looks tired trying to go up this hill.
Exactly.
Hi.
Hello.
He's an announcer!
I know!
He's a good caster too!
Kim Sung-ju!
(Nice.)
(Me too.)
Who's he?
I know who he is!
A soccer player!
What's his name?
Ahn Jung...
Ahn Jung-hwan.
Do a lot of people live here?
Yup.
Are there houses where
we can get a meal?
Who'd give a meal to all these people!
Just for 2 people.
Just go to a restaurant.
A lot of people live here.
Really?
Yup!
Got it.
(Let's just go already.)
Anyways, we have to eat at a restaurant!
There are so many hills here.
We'll have a tough day
if we don't succeed early.
It's 5:18 right now.
We need a strategy now.
We have to come up with one.
You just come with me.
Then it'll be over soon.
(Happy.)
That's good to see.
They should've been friends already.
Who cares about a beer can?
(Are they both over it now?)
I think he's still nervous.
Sung-ju's shoulders look slouched.
He's walking sideways.
Behind him too.
He can't walk forward.
Look.
(Still looks uncomfortable.)
Look at how he's walking.
He looks like he did something wrong
even when he didn't.
To completely mend the beer can incident,
they still need more time.
The time has come to Heukseokdong,
a town full of memories.
We have to write history again.
How about...
We don't split up into teams today?
Let's say Jung-hwan and Sung-ju
rang door bells
and Sung-ju succeeded.
Let's have the owner of that house...
Decide between me and Kyung-kyu
who he or she wants to eat with.
If the owner can't decide...
If Sung-ju succeeded,
let's have him choose between us.
Exactly, let the guest decide.
(Loves the idea.)
Sung-ju will pick me no matter what.
Can he pick no one?
Nope.
Let's not be selfish.
Teamwork is important in soccer too!
You need to pass the ball.
You can't dribble by yourself.
(Disappointed.)
We can see Han River from here.
Heukseokdong.
Let's see if feng shui really works.
Let's Have Dinner Together!
Leggo!
You know slangs?
Did anyone succeed on the first try?
Yup!
One the first attempt?
I've been doing pretty well lately.
You have?
Yup.
Why am I nervous?
(Even Jung-hwan gets nervous.)
This can be a self reflecting time.
When you ring the bell,
you can find out what you do.
Because you introduce yourself?
Ho-dong doesn't really say
he used to be a wrestling champion.
But every time he rings a doorbell..
He mentions wrestling!
Best way to show who he is.
Even I say,
I'm a comedian Lee Kyung-kyu.
I see.
You find yourself from your job.
Sung-ju!
Go!
Is there a house there?
Probably.
We'll go too.
(Bravely takes it on!)
(And for some reason...)
(Kyung-kyu is going too.)
The door's open.
How about the bell?
There isn't one.
Then that's no good!
You can only knock after 7:30.
There has to be a bell?
There isn't one.
(Failed for not having a bell.)
Kyung-kyu's really trying hard today.
I thought he'd pick me...
If he succeeded.
Who'd Sung-ju and Jung-hwan pick?
Here.
Two bells.
Over here.
(2 bells = 2 attempts.)
Who's first?
Sung-ju first...
(Sung-ju tries first.)
(Ho-dong suggests a right one.)
I'll give it a go.
It's ringing.
(Nervous first attempt.)
I'm nervous and I'm just standing here.
Hello?
Hi.
Anyone home?
Who is it?
I'm...
Kim Sung-ju.
Please give me a minute.
Someone's coming out!
Is someone coming out?
Is the gate open?
(On his first attempt?)
Hi.
Do you know who I am?
Yes.
I'm a foreigner.
What?
You are?
From where?
Vietnam.
Vietnam?
I just came back from Danang.
I know.
You do?
It's a wonderful place.
Did you...
Eat yet?
No, not yet.
Not yet?
(No way...)
I'm cooking now.
You are?
Are you about to eat?
Do you live alone?
No, with my mother in law.
Just you two?
How about your husband?
He's in Vietnam.
He's in Vietnam?
Are you guys all Vietnamese?
No, only I am.
My husband's Korean.
I see.
He's Korean, he's just in Vietnam
right now.
We're from a Korean TV station...
(Surprised.)
Don't you know them?
Do you know who I am?
Yes.
My mother in law...
Really loves this show.
Really?
What's your name?
Me?
My Korean name is Seo Min-ah.
Seo Min-ah.
Since you didn't eat yet...
Is your mother in law home right now?
No, she's not.
You're home alone right now?
Were you waiting for her?
We should eat with her.
In Korea...
Eating together would make us a family.
Would you...
Be Sung-ju's family today?
Would you eat with him?
Let me call my mother in law.
Sure, go ask her.
I think it might work.
They are so excited.
- We don't know for sure yet. - We'll see.
It's been only seven minutes and we already succeeded.
What happens if they get it at the first attempt?
Go away.
They might say no.
Let's see what happens.
- You talk to her. - May I...?
- Can I talk to your mother-in-law? - Sure.
I'm so nervous.
- She's not answering? - No.
Ms. Seo, who lives upstairs?
- I don't know. - It's a different household.
What is your Vietnamese name?
My Vietnamese name is Ling.
Ling?
What a pretty name.
- She's not answering. - No?
You have to get her permission, right?
Of course she has to.
- Because... - Should we come back later?
- She's not answering. - What should we do?
Why don't we leave you a number so...
Where's my name card?
Here it is.
You see, this is my cell phone number.
- Don't do that. - Call me.
No, you have to give the show staff's number.
Why are you giving out your private contact?
We can't just wait here forever.
If she picks up the phone and says yet,
- please call us. - We'll come right back.
We'll come back.
Just in case she says yes, please make four servings of...
- Only two of can go in. - And her and her mother-in-law.
Sung-ju and I--
We haven't decided on that.
Why don't we try upstairs while at it?
- Let's go upstairs. - Jung-hwan.
We can finish today's show in this building.
- The upstairs might be available first. - That'll be perfect.
Look how he's showing his face.
I'm nervous.
Hello?
Hi, my name is Jung-hwan, I'm the ex soccer player.
Hello?
Someone's coming.
- Hello, ma'am. - An ex soccer player.
Hi, I'm Ahn Jung-hwan. Have you eaten dinner yet?
We're having right now.
Really?
You can still get invited.
That's allowed.
- Can we join you by any chance? - Oh, this is the show?
Could we?
I'd love to invite you but--
- I don't look so good right now. - You look beautiful.
- Are you by yourself? - With my baby.
We should be quiet then.
I love babies.
Heukseok-dong is a beautiful neighborhood.
We're allowed to join if you're in the middle of having dinner.
I was watching rerun of the show today.
Just now.
- THe episode with Yu-ri? - That's right.
Let's sit around and talk about life and stuff.
Would you be my and Jung-hwan's family at dinner table today?
What the--
You don't have to invite in the whole crew. Just two of us.
Good evening, ma'am.
What are you doing?
Kyung-kyu's so annoying.
I was hoping Jung-hwan and I could join you.
If you allow, then
Jung-hwan's set to get in.
But you have to choose between Kyung-kyu and I.
- It's up to you. - So hard.
What's your last name, ma'am?
It's Kim.
Darn it, I'm Lee.
He was trying to make a connection.
If it's so hard, Jung-hwan can decide for you.
Would you invite Jung-hwan to your table?
I'm great with babies.
Sure, come on in.
- At my first attempt. - You the man.
- That was awesome. - Has this happened before?
Ma'am.
I'm not old enough to be called ma'am by you.
What was that? She's way younger than you.
I was trying to be polite.
Ms. Kim!
How dare you? She's a mother.
What's your baby's name?
- Ha-joon. - Ha-joon's mother.
Is it going to be Ho-dong or Kyung-kyu?
Please take the spoon of the one you want.
- You have to choose. - I'm done though, right?
You got invited at your first attempt.
Jung-hwan and I were both athletes.
We have to close our eyes. It's easier for her to decide.
That's right.
Don't open your eyes.
- I don't know what to do. - Let me say one last thing.
I suggested we try the second floor.
We could've gone to a different place. But I suggested.
It was my idea.
The smell of happiness is seeping out of the house.
One, two, three.
It's okay. Donât feel bad.
- One, two-- - It's really fine.
Will it be Kang Ho-dong, the wrestling champion,
or Kyung-kyu, the comedian?
Who'll be the lucky guy and get invited for dinner?
One, two, three.
Don't feel bad.
- One, two-- - It's really fine.
Three!
(Ho-dong is invited!)
Ho-dong looks like he'll be good with a baby.
Eh-hm.
She must have seen me with babies in the other show.
Ms. Ling!
You guys go ahead. We have to take off.
We go in and eat now? We won't see you again?
- Nope. - Goodbye then.
- Good luck. - Enjoy your dinner.
Sung-ju,
you must be fated together with Kyung-kyu.
- Take care guys. - I wish I could invite in everyone.
- Don't get discouraged. - See you in Russia.
Give us a call, Ms. Ling.
Let's go inside. Oh, what about your husband?
He's late, as always.
- He's at work? - Yes.
You don't need to discuss this over with your husband?
Should we wait outside?
It's fine. Come on in.
She...has more power.
She's the boss.
There's no need for discussion.
It means she has more power.
(Ho-dong's invited to dinner with his lucky charm Jung-hwan)
- This feels weird. - I was so nervous.
It's really messy.
(The cozy living room colored in pretty pastel)
(is full of Ha-joon's toys)
Hi, Ha-joon.
He's one year old.
He's seeing the biggest man in his life.
Hi Ha-joon.
You look exactly like on TV.
Hi.
Aren't I a bit slimmer in real person?
- I look so fat in TV. - You look same.
- You were in the middle of dinner. - Yes.
You were having quick dinner with shrimp and rice.
Hi, sweetheart.
This is how they film the show.
Babies don't react if you do it like that.
I'll show you how it's done.
Peek-a-boo!
We'll get kicked out if you make him cry.
Peek-a-boo!
He must be so confused now.
Ha-joon's a big boy. He's not crying at the sight of strangers.
He doesn't do that.
He doesn't cry easily.
Some kids start to cray when they see unfamiliar faces.
I'll grill some meat for you guys.
Meat?
You shouldn't, if it's too much trouble.
We have only meat in the fridge.
I don't have anything else.
- Thank you so much. - Seriously.
We are so lucky.
We didn't have time to eat meat.
Taking care of a baby is really hard.
Should we feed him?
- No, he's not eating. - I'll try.
He ate too much at the daycare center.
Do you also work?
Do you take him to daycare while you work?
I started work again yesterday.
I give piano lessons.
Oh, you're a pianist?
Yes, I give lessons a few days a week.
They are private lessons.
My husband asked to send some pictures.
(V~)
Is your husband usually late?
- Nowadays, he is. - He must have a lot of work.
- So... - Where does he work?
- Bangbae-dong. - Bangbae-dong?
What does he do?
- Finances. - Finances...
Finances. Finances...?
- Accounting. - Money?
Yes.
- Then... - Are you asking because you really don't know?
Financial affairs! Accounting!
- Accounting is finances? - Yes.
- My husband is good at cooking meat. - I'm good at cooking meat.
- Really? - Yes. Let me try.
I haven't grilled a lot of meat before.
Wow. This sirloin is delicious food.
- This precious sirloin. - You don't want to eat?
- That's Korean beef. - Yes.
My husband was going to buy food for our baby and bought this for me to eat.
How long have you been living here?
- We moved in when we got married, so... - You guys moved in then?
Yes.
- In this house? - Yes, in 2015.
I see.
What is it? Have some food.
You don't want to eat it?
It's the first time my house has been so messy.
All kids with houses are like this. Do you want me to clean up?
My husband is so busy lately that my house is a mess.
How many times a week does the whole family eat dinner together?
- Once? - Once a week?
Once? On the weekends, we go out and spend time, so we eat together.
But during the weekday, we only eat together once.
What did your husband say? I hope he can come home soon.
I want to see him, too.
I told you I smelled happiness as soon as the door opened.
- This is a happy home. - We're happy.
She automatically said that. "I want to see him, too." That's sincerity.
I always want to see him.
I'm going to put some salt in here.
Wow. This is amazing.
Ho-dong is really good at grilling meat.
While carnivore Ho-dong is showing off his grilling skills...
Do you want to drink some water?
Jung-hwan, the father of two kids, is skillfully taking care of Ha-joon.
The new mother who was feeding her baby came
to prepare dinner for guests out of the blue.
Wow. This is really...
Hold on.
As expected, the one who eats a lot of meat grills meat the best.
- You must be flustered. - I am, but...
I love it when guests come over to our house.
Soon, a dinner of Korean beef they hadn't expected is set up.
I did "Knee-drop Guru" for about five years now, so I'm almost a guru now.
- I can figure out their love story just by looking at their photos. - You can?
- I can tell if this was an arranged marriage or not. - Your husband is handsome.
Her husband likes events.
They don't usually make these expressions. Right?
- Seo Jang-ho. - Seo Jung-ho.
- Mr. Seo Jung-ho. - You can't see?
I think you need glasses. Anyone can see it's written Seo Jung-ho.
Wow. The bouquet.
Look at this picture. What do you think?
I think this was when he proposed to you.
Since I liked what he did for the proposal, he did
the same thing for my birthday the following year.
This was from my birthday.
The happy home is creating path of flowers
with the same feelings during their proposal.
- These are Ha-joon's feet. - Yes.
Yes, they're his feet.
- This isn't the actual size, is it? - The actual size is over there.
You call that a question?
Gosh! I'll show you how big baby's feet are.
(He gets the original frame from the living room.)
Ho-dong, this is the size of a baby's feet.
Right. I know.
Of course it should be a certain size even though it belongs to a baby.
- I think this is beautiful. May I read it out loud? - A letter.
(Careful)
- "To my loveable wife." - So touching.
"On a hot summer day,
Ha-joon came into our embrace with his eyes blinking like a doll.
As we worried our small, loud baby would fall of
the pretty big bed, a hundred days passed by.
I'll think of the miracles and touching feelings are Ha-joon will show
us in the future and be hard-working husband and dad for our family.
I will love you diligently."
Is that you, Hae-won? Hi.
(For some reason, he starts to miss his wife.)
I want to write a letter.
How do you feel when you receive such things?
It makes me happy.
(Can't see very well)
It said "I'll love you forever," so why did I say "I will love you diligently?"
(Seems like he really has farsightedness due to old age)
- Let's hurry up and eat. - Yes, please eat.
This is a scene of Ha-joon's dinner in Heukseuk-dong.
Ha-joon, can you take your hand off the table?
Let him be, so we can see if he really does it. Can you? Good boy. Thanks.
This is beautiful.
This is a humble but warm dinner full of sirloin made by a husband for his wife
and side dishes to chase away the grease of the meat.
- Thank you for the food. - You're welcome. Enjoy.
- Thank you. - There's nothing to eat.
- This is cooked glutinous rice. - No, I just make the rice watery because of Ha-joon.
I love watery rice.
I love rice that is watery until it's at the point of becoming porridge.
- You suddenly want to eat now? - He wants to eat because we're eating.
Ha-joon, look. This is going to go in my mouth. Watch.
Watch how his mouth is open. He's shocked.
- Ha-joon is shocked. - He's really shocked right now.
- He's in shock! - He's not chewing.
He's shocked by how you ate.
He's amazed.
- Look how shocked he is. - He's super shocked!
Did you make all of these?
No. My mom made this. My mother-in-law made this. My friend's mother-in-law made this.
- So all of this is by mothers-in-law. - That's how it usually is.
- They're all here. - It's homemade food from all those mothers.
His favorite watery rice along with glossy sirloin.
This is an ideal dinner for carnivore Ho-dong.
The mothers' 4 side dishes collaborated perfectly with the sirloin
and made a goal into Jung-hwan's mouth.
Food!
Thanks to their delicious eating, Ha-joon's appetite also returned.
He must want to eat because we're eating so well.
- Right? - I think so.
You're supposed to eat meals with many people.
A dinner in a happy house in Heukseuk-dong that is
even more delicious because they're all together.
The raw vegetables are delicious.
Isn't this the first time you're eating at someone's house?
- Besides going to my friend's house to eat when I was little. - Really?
Now that I think about it, you're right.
I don't go to my friend's houses often lately because it's rude, you know?
You guys don't usually eat at home either.
Right. We make a reservation at a restaurant.
This is really great.
When we rang the doorbell and asked you, it was almost like you invited us.
- Right. - I feel really happy about that.
- What if she had said no? - Right.
I heard your voices downstairs earlier. There's a group chat I have with my in-laws.
I told them Ahn Jung-hwan and Kang Ho-dong are here!
My aunt-in-law was like, "Take Ha-joon and go outside!"
- She would've been sad if we hadn't rang the doorbell. - Right.
I was going to go out with Ha-joon.
- To see us? - Yes.
Thanks to her in-laws' active support in the group chat,
they were able to get a dinner in Heukseuk-dong in one shot.
Meanwhile, the two of them left their number at the
Vietnam house and are looking for another house.
For the first time, we were almost able to eat in the same house together.
Where did the lady go?
- She'll call. I turned the sound on. - All right.
Let's go here.
- It seems like they securely closed their fate. - It doesn't matter.
(Ding-dong!/Please do.)
- Hello? - Voice is great.
- Are you home? - No one's home.
- Anyone home? - No one's home.
- No one is home. - Hello?
Hello. I'm Kim Sung-joo.
- I'm sorry, but... - Yes?
- I can't open the gate. - Oh, all right. I apologize.
- Sorry. - It's okay.
She's in a situation where she can't open the gate.
(It's too bad.)
It's okay. We have one on hold.
If she just calls us...
Wow. This is amazing. We had to pick one of the two...
(He discovered a doorbell.)
It works.
- Who is it? - Is anyone home?
- Hi. - Hello.
- Hello, ma'am. Do you know who I am?
Yes, I do. My goodness.
- I'm Kim Sung-joo. - Yes.
- Hi. Did you eat dinner yet? - Yes, I did.
- You already ate? - Yes.
I see.
- Have a good night. - Thank you for opening the window.
Thank you.
Wow. This is...
We should've gotten the first house!
This is too bad!
- The ball hit the goal post and came out. - We still have hope.
- She didn't call yet. - If she just comes...
- Wow. Should we try this house? - Sure.
- Nice! - Nice. The bell here is nice.
(Ding-dong!)
Don't think that we can't do it-
- Hello? - Hello!
- Who are you? - My name is Kim Sung-joo.
- And? - Hi. I'm the announcer Kim Sung-joo...
- Yes. - Didn't I describe soccer games before?
- And? - Ask if he knows you.
- Do you know who I am? - I'm not sure.
I was on "Mask King" and "Take Good Care of the Fridge."
- Yes, I know. - Okay.
We're doing a program where we eat dinner together and talk about various topics.
- I see. - May we come in and...?
- There's no one home. - Oh, really?
I see. I understand.
- Then I guess it's a bit difficult for us to join you right now. - Right.
- All right. Thank you. - Bye.
You're a gentle talker.
You're very gentle. Your comments are polite.
They just have to let us in, but they won't.
All they need to do is let us in.
- Why isn't she calling? - I keep thinking about that house.
Sung-joo, let's try this place. It's like a studio.
- Sorry? - Here.
Wow. How many homes are there?
There are four houses on the first floor. There are four houses on each floor.
(Ding-dong!)
(Please...)
I'll check for any houses with lights on.
- I got a call! - You did?
- Gosh, it's Ho-dong. - Gosh.
- Why did you call me? - Kyung-kyu!
- What? - We talked with Ling's mother-in-law.
- What did she say? - A while ago,
I got in touch with her and talked to her myself.
- Okay? - And she was so happy!
So do we come?
- So about going into her house and filming... - Yes?
I asked if Kyung-kyu and Sung-joo can come in and film with her daughter-in-law.
- Can't you speed it up? - We don't have much time.
- So when I asked if that would be okay... - Yes?
She said she's sorry.
(Annoyed)
- Are you lying? - I'm serious.
- We'll see you next time if there's another chance. - Okay. I'm sorry.
Her husband said he'd treat you guys if you came to Vietnam.
If you go to Vietnam, you can eat dinner!
Tell Ling I'm never gong to Vietnam again.
Just hang up!
"If you're sweet people..."
(They enter a building that looks like a dorm.)
I think we have to press this.
There are many houses like this.
I guess the security guard has to be here.
This is...
You don't know the code, do you?
Of course I don't.
Even if we knew, we couldn't just go in here.
This is...
We have until 8:00, right?
- Once I entered a house at 7:59. - There's someone there!
- Where? - Here. Right?
Here!
(Ding-dong~)
- Who is it? - Hello. I'm announcer Kim Sung-joo.
- Oh, goodness. Hello. - Oh my gosh! No, we can't!
- You can't? Do you know our show? - Yes. I'm enjoying it.
- Thank you. - I'm so sorry.
- It's fine. - Thank you.
Have a good night. Bye.
Wow. She just looks at your face and say whether she can do it or not.
I'm hungry.
- I'm hungry. - I'm starving.
Here.
- Someone is home. - The light is on.
We got it.
- Who is it? - Hello, ma'am. I'm announcer Kim Sung-joo.
- Sorry? - I'm announcer Kim Sung-joo.
- Okay. - I used to go to school in Heukseuk-dong.
- I see. - I was wondering if you ate dinner already.
- If you didn't eat... - We ate dinner already.
Oh, you did?
- Where are you going? - Home...
- Hello. - Hello.
(Went mad (?) because of hunger?)
- Did you eat dinner yet? - Yes, I did.
Really?
We wanted to eat with you and...
- No one is home. - Really?
I'm announcer Kim Sung-joo who comes out on "Mask King,"
"Take Good Care of the Fridge" and "Carefree Travelers."
- I'm sorry. - I understand.
Isn't that where you used to live?
I used to live over there.
- We should go over there. - Well that place is...
This is the inner gate.
The place of my memory.
- Who cares about that? - When we're about to starve.
You said everything worked out for you here.
This is my lucky place. This is my boundary.
I guess students eat at 6:00.
(The individual battles begin.)
Hello. I'm announcer Kim Sung-joo.
- Did you eat yet? - Yes, I did.
Hello!
I'm announcer Kim Sung-joo.
- What's this? - "Let's Eat Dinner Together!"
- Our house is really messy. - Really?
(Kyung-kyu & Sung-joo are still ringing doorbells./Current time: 7:38 p.m.)
- Who is it? - Excuse me.
Hello?
- Hold on. - Okay.
- Excuse us. - Excuse us. Hello.
- Hello. I'm comedian Lee Kyung-kyu. - No. I'm sorry.
Okay.
(Out of all people, it just had to be in front of Sung-joo...)
Don't laugh too much. It's common.
It happens numerous times.
Stop laughing.
- I've never seen Kyung-kyu treated like that before. - That's not it.
I guess you don't look like Lee Kyung-kyu.
- "Hello. I'm comedian Lee Kyung-kyu." "No."
- That's not it. - She just shut the door in your face.
You...you said you used to live here.
- Yes, I used to live here. - Then do something.
- The lights are on here. - The lights are on.
We can go here. Come this way.
(Kyung-kyu & Sung-joo are ringing doorbells in Heukseuk-dong./Cu rent time: 7:41 p.m.)
There's no doorbell.
(Knock knock./Is no one home?)
Is anyone home?
- Please hold on. - She said to hold on.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello. I'm announcer Kim Sung-joo.
Do you remember me? Do you know me? I come out on TV.
- Where are you from? - I'm a foreigner.
- Foreigner? From where? China? - Yes.
- Did you eat dinner yet? - No.
- This is a TV program. - Okay.
This is a program where we ring doorbells, and
if you didn't eat already, we eat together.
- Have you watched it before? - Not yet.
- Not yet? - I heard of it though.
You have? That's the kind of program we are.
He's an announcer. An MC. I'm a comedian.
So for dinner...
- Do you have anything to eat? - At my house?
Yes.
- That's the kind of program we are. - Yes.
- Where in China are you from? Peking? - Harbin.
- Harbin! - Harbin!
- Harbin is where... - Dr. An Jung-geun.
- Yes. - How long has it been since you came here?
- About three years. - About three years.
- Do you attend this school? - Yes.
- I used to go to this school. - He graduated from there.
- What's your name? - Wang Moon-kyung.
- Ms. Wang Moon-kyung.
- Is it okay if we eat together? - The camera...
You'll be on camera? Is that a no then?
- It's okay. - It is?
Can I have a moment...?
- Do you want to change? - Okay, got it. We'll be waiting.
You can fix your make-up. Make yourself pretty.
(Kyung-kyu & Sung-joo dramatically succeeded!)
A Chinese student saved us!
Thank you! Thank you!
It's 7:45 p.m.
Wow. This house saved me.
I told you this is a lucky place.
This is my neighborhood. I lived here for seven years.
I almost lost my honor.
(Forget it.../Fainting.)
- She's done. - She's coming out.
- Are you done? - May we come in?
Yes. Let's go in.
We're sorry for intruding.
They came to the place of Sung-joo's youth and entered the dinner of another youth.
Do you eat here? What were you planning to eat?
There was something from China...
- Oh, my. - It's similar to ramen.
- Is that Chinese ramen? - Yes.
- Good! We love it! - We love it.
Is it okay if it's spicy?
- That's fine! - How many servings is this?
- We can eat one bag each. - There are three of them.
- Two people. - Two people can eat one bag?
- Yes. - Then you can make two bags to make four servings for us three.
- Four servings? - We're extremely hungry.
We have some money, so we'll go to the market and
- buy some things to eat. Will that be okay? - Yes.
- Great. - Side dishes to eat with that. All right.
I'll be talking with her. You can start cooking now.
- Okay. - Do you have a pot?
Should I help you? What about water?
- Here. - Okay.
- Is it delicious? - Yes.
What is this called?
It's similar to ramen. Chungching noodles.
- It's the name of the city. - Oh, the city Chungching.
- Yes. - Chungching ramen.
- Did you bring this from China? - Yes.
- From Harbin? - Yes.
Oh, Harbin.
Oh, this.
I know this one!
This is spicy.
(That's right.)
(Confused)
Crackers...
(As expected, she brought the crackers from China as well.)
While Kyung-kyu is having a taste of China with an appetizer...
I met a helping hand just 100 meters from where I used to live.
If I just turn the corner, it's my old house.
And I was able to find this market with my eyes closed.
This is... Oh, my! Goodness! Ma'am!
- Do you remember me? You look familiar. - I talk about you all the time!
Right! Oh my goodness!
- I'm so glad to see you! - I was a student back when you saw me.
- How is your wife? - She's great. I have three kids, you know.
I know.
Right now, I'm eating dinner for "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
There's a Chinese student here who is living by herself.
- She let us eat there. - So you're eating there?
- I wanted to buy something like kimchi. - I don't have any kimchi.
- You don't? Not even radishes? - I don't have anything like that.
Oh, no! What do I do? Hold on.
Then I'll make something.
I'll get tuna and spam.
- How much are the eggs? - One for 40 cents.
One for 40 cents? Then I'll get five of them.
What will the previous student who is living alone
make for the current student who is living alone?
- What do you study? - Media communication.
- Media communication? - Yes.
- By any chance... - Yes?
Do you know me?
I don't watch many TV programs.
Really? Then how did you open the door for us?
My school friend introduced this program to me today.
- Because we were wandering around the area since morning. - Yes.
- So your friend explained it to us. - Yes.
- Your Korean friend? - No, my Chinese friend.
- Your Chinese friend? - Yes.
I see.
(Sung-joo came back after buying the groceries.)
Have some crackers.
- Are those Chinese crackers? - Yes.
Really?
- The market wasn't selling kimchi, so I'll cook for you. - Okay.
I'll make what I saw the chefs making.
It's the first time we came to a foreigner's house.
- This is the first? - It's the first.
While we were filming, her Chinese friend saw us and explained it to her.
- She didn't know about this? - She didn't.
- I see. - Where does she live?
She lives near the inner gate as well.
Really? If she didn't eat, you should tell her to come over.
- May I call her? - Of course you can.
- Call her... - Call her and invite her over.
Tell her we'll make her rolled omelet.
- Hello? - She picked up.
Can you come to my house right now?
The program you were talking about earlier is filming at my house right now.
She's saying we came here.
She's explaining that she's on the show.
I said that you know this show.
- So they want to invite you, so hurry. - She's saying, "Stop talking and hurry up."
Okay. Bye-bye.
What happened? Is she coming?
Yes.
She boils the noodles in the boiling water.
She adds Sichuan-style spicy sauce to create a Chinese taste.
I can already tell it's going to be spicy.
After she puts the sauce on the noodles
and mixes it
Chinese spicy ramen from China itself is complete.
Now I should...
It's time for Sung-joo to show his cooking skills for his junior colleague.
(He checks the temperature.)
(He learned it in "Take Good Care of my Fridge," but something is lacking...)
- It will be done soon, right? - Of course.
You need to hurry up with that.
- Who did you learn this from? - This? Kim Poong.
- His cooking has no nationality. - Yes, his cooking is quite simple.
(He takes out the ham with skills that have no nationality.)
Please cut the spam for me.
Slice them. Exactly.
Into thin slices. Yes, that's good.
Hurry up and come here.
(So-rim/26 years old)
Hurry up.
Is your friend here? Hello!
- Hello! - Hello!
- Hello. - Hi. It's nice to meet you. Hello.
- Did you eat dinner? - No.
- You didn't eat yet? - Yes.
Then she should eat this, too. I think we're doing everything.
(Plenty)
He rolls up the omelet he learned from Kim Poong.
The two of them took over to feed the Chinese students.
- What's your friend's name? - It's So-rim.
- My Chinese name is Xiao Lin. - Xiao Lin.
The second egg dish is fusion scrambled eggs with no nationality.
Hurry! The noodles are swelling!
(How frustrating!)
(Speed up!)
The eggs are... Gosh, you shouldn't have made them.
They're all swelling up!
I'm done!
With Sung-joo's egg dishes that have been upgraded with ketchup,
a delicious meal has been completed.
(He takes a proof shot of their dinner!)
This global Korean-Chinese dinner consists of spicy ramen made by the current student
who lives alone and egg dishes made by the former student who used to live alone.
- Where are the chopsticks? - You're Min-gook's father.
- How did you know? - "Dad! Where are we going?"
- Did you watch that? - Yes.
- Yes, I'm Min-gook's father! - I like Min-yool as well.
- Really? Oh, my. - You know Min-gook?
- Yes. - She knows Min-gook.
- He's very cute. - Really? - Thank you. Oh, my.
- Do you guys eat dinner together sometimes? - Yes.
Okay, then...
- Pretend we're not here. - Ready, action!
(Dinner Theater/~The dinner of Chinese students in Heukseuk-dong~)
Did you have class today?
- I had a programming class. - Was it hard?
It's all right. The professor is great.
(What are they talking about...?)
The professor talks so quickly that it's so hard.
My professor speaks fast, too. It's like fast-forwarding.
I'm okay with the class, but it's difficult to hear
because the professor isn't using a microphone.
Cut!
(Dinner Theater/~They can't understand, so it's the end~)
(Shy)
(They're curious what they talked about.)
- We talked about how today's classes were. - Oh, about today's classes.
- That's what you guys were talking about? - Yes.
- We'll eat now. Thank you for the food. - Thank you.
It's my first time eating this.
- This is Chinese spicy noodles. - I know.
- Is it spicy? - It's good, right?
(In Chinese, haochi means delicious.)
The sauce is very strong.
This is delicious!
- It's delicious. - Sacheon food is too spicy.
- It is spicy. - Sacheon food is spicy.
- How is the omelet? Is it good? - Yes.
Sung-joo, who is engrossed in spicy ramen, announces his slurping of the noodles.
Kyung-kyu, who kept claiming "haochi," is eating in Sacheon currently.
A delicious dinner of Chinese and Korean foods with Sung-joo's egg dishes.

- Chungang University? Really? - Yes.
- So you guys are my junior colleagues. - Wow!
- You're our senior colleague. - His wife graduated from there, too.
- Yes, she did. - All he did was date instead of study.
Why did you come to study here?
My father is an ethnic Korean.
- Oh, your father is? - Yes.
But I learned Korean after I came here.
- You didn't know it when you were in China. - Yes, so I came to learn it.
- You came to study because you wanted to learn Korean. - Yes.
- What about you? Why did you come to study here? - Because I like Korean singers.
- Because you like singers? - Yes.
I really love them.
- Who do you like? - I'm a fan of Super Junior.
- Super Junior? - Super Junior?
- Who is Super Junior? - I like them all.
- You like them? - Would you like to talk to Lee-teuk on the phone?
Lee-teuk.
(Thinking...)
Can you talk to him?
- No, no. - Why not? I have his number.
- I'm too nervous. - Because you're too nervous.
- Seems like you watch a lot of Korean shows. - Yes, I like them.
- So you like them. - You need to watch them a lot in order to speak better Korean.
- I watched all of "Dad! Where are we going?" - Really?
Yes, with my mom.
- With your mom? - Yes.
- Then your mom must know me as well. - Yes, she likes you.
- I should go to Hubei. That's where your mom lives right? - Yes.
Do you know Lee Kyung-kyu, So-rim?
Yes, I saw him in Wanna One's episode.
- That's the first time you saw him? - Yes.
- Really? - Yes.
- That's when she first saw you. - Right.
- Do you know "Hidden Camera?" - No, I don't.
"Lee Kyung-kyu Is Coming." Do you know that?
No, I don't.
- "Dad! Where are we going?" - I know that one.
- "Qualifications of Men." - I heard of it.
- "Mask King." - I know that one.
- You're the host. - I am.
"Mask Dal-ho"
I'm sorry.
I'm more famous than him, but he hit me with a beer can ten years ago!
I got hit in Beijing.
- During the Beijing Olympics. - We went together.
We filmed. We grabbed a drink.
He dozed off during my story. I got mad. I threw a beer can at him.
- I got hit. I fainted. - He got hit and fainted.
- After that, ten years passed by. - Ten years passed by.
- He's more famous than I am. - He's someone I respect.
This is fun.
This man is a famous comedian in South Korea.
He is also a famous movie director.
Seriously.
- Do you know Bruce Lee? - Yes.
Would you like me to show you Bruce Lee?
- He looks just like him. - The face.
They look the same, don't they? Are they similar?
- They're similar, right? - Yes. They're similar.
Thanks to Kyung-kyu's giving of talent, the atmosphere is congenial.
Meanwhile, Ha-joon's glamorous camera skills are at work here.
Your face is on the camera right now. He wants us to be on air a lot.
There are a variety of angles. That's right. Turn it that way.
- Food. - Okay.
(Meanwhile, her food isn't even touched.)
Shouldn't you eat?
- Food. - Okay.
You walk around and barely take a couple bites of your food, huh?
You can't eat it because you're so busy. You can't take your eyes off of him.
Right. I don't usually eat at this time. I put him to sleep and then eat.
Right, so you can eat comfortably.
- Because it's so chaotic. - Right.
He's at an age when he requires so much attention.
- Three months. - He could get hurt in the blink of an eye.
- Right. - He's at that age.
From now to one year old is a critical period.
- He could hurt his head somewhere. - He needs to wear those mittens.
I was wondering if I should put them on him or not.
He'll be running around soon.
Why do you keep doing that? Why does he keep doing such behaviors?
That tends to happen. You need to be careful, or he'll scratch his own face.
Effective advice from dads.
They paid the price of the meal with them.
Your father's work is in Bangbae-dong.
So how did you guys end up living in Heukseuk-dong?
It was because of the price of housing. We searched hard and finally found this one.
Frankly put, we were going to get married before my husband got a job.
We dated for a long time, you know. So we got a house first.
How many years did you guys date?
- We dated for nine and a half years and got married. - Nine years?
- Yes. - Where did you guys first meet?
- Church. - Church.
I knew who he was, but we didn't really get close until we went into college.
- I'm not good with technology. - Right.
Yes. I really wanted to listen to my mp3 player,
but I didn't know how to put music in there.
He said he'd do it for me, and I just said I liked a certain song.
But he put that song in there, so I thought, "He's a good listener."
- What song was it? - Kim Bum-soo's "Miss You."
"Miss you." "I miss you until death."
This is actually a proposal song.
And why out of everyone, did she ask Ha-joon's dad to do it for her?
- Right. - Probably because I had some feelings for him?
If you guys dated for nine years, I bet you don't remember when
you guys first held hands and what your first kiss was like.
I remember.
- Your first kiss? - I remember.
Where did you guys kiss?
- At a playground. - A playground in front of your house.
Yes. We were sitting in the neighborhood playground.
- On a bench? - Yes, on a bench.
Someone I know also did something on a bench.
- Who? - I guess benches have this magic of blossoming love.
I see.
I don't forget my first kiss because that's when we decided to date.
We kissed to commemorate our first day of dating.
But my husband was so funny. He wanted to kiss first and then date.
- Kiss? - So kiss first then date later?
- Yes. - That's a rare case.
Your husband must be a good kisser.
(Embarrassed)
That's so embarrassing!
There's no such thing as being a bad or good kisser!
Didn't they start to date because he was a good kisser?
- That's not it. - You kiss with your heart!
- What's wrong with you? - I don't agree with you!
- It's funny? - You like hearing about your mommy's kissing story?
- If you date for nine years... - Yes?
That means you went through all the hardships together.
- That means she waited for her husband to discharge from the army. - Right.
Right. I waited for him to discharge from
the army, get a job, and finish his studies.
- You guys went through everything. - Yes.
I don't know how I managed.
- There were many challenges, right? - So many.
What was the most difficult challenge?
When he wasn't being hired.
- After he graduated. - He wasn't able to get a job.
Was he the only one trying to get a job or were you guys both trying to get jobs?
- I was teaching piano, so I had a job. - Right.
Then who paid during the dates?
Either I pay or my husband used his mom's card.
- M.C. - Yes.
- Do you know what M.C is? - She just said it was mom's card!
My goodness! You and I don't have that much of an age difference!
You and I are on the same path to aging!
Seriously, he's...
- There's a difference between dating and being married, right? - Of course.
What's different?
At first when we came home, I thought we were on vacation at a pension.
First off, when we were packing to come home from our honeymoon trip,
we put all our things together. It doesn't matter if the laundry gets mixed together.
I really liked that.
And at night, we would wear our pajamas, lie down together, take pictures,
and be like, "This isn't weird at all! We're allowed to take photos!"
That's what it was like.
- If you look back, they spent their youth together. - Right.
I don't regret it at all. I'm really happy.
About the fact you guys overcame the hardships together?
We overcame all those hardships, so what won't we be able to do?
I can already tell from your face that you're really happy.
I'm happy.
The two of them met when they were twenty years old and spent their youth together.
They overcame the challenges with faith and got married.
With their fruition of love Ha-joon, they found true happiness.
My husband would like to do a video call with you.
- Hello! - Hello!
Hello.
Let me see the phone. Wow.
- You're very handsome. - Thank you.
I'm working right now, so it's too bad I can't come.
- Yes. - I was worried there would be nothing to eat in the house.
- We came here and ate happiness. - I see. Thank you.
- From the photos, we can tell you guys are truly happy. - Yes.
You must be really busy.
There's this official segment on the show we have for couples.
- Okay. - You need to give three compliments to your wife.
- Okay. - Number one.
Even though I'm busy and come home late lately, she doesn't get mad.
I'm glad that she always supports me in whatever I do.
Okay. Number two?
After she got married, she couldn't even take care
of her health because she's watching over Ha-joon.
For number three, talk about how beautiful she is.
That was number two.
I'm most grateful that she's still beautiful
even though it's been ten years since we met.
(Big smile)
He really knows how to flatter someone.
My goodness!
You just told him one simple thing, but he layered it up!
Your wife has a lot of things to compliment you about. Listen carefully.
You know I'm terrible at this, right?
Hurry up.
You're always hard-working.
You're the best husband and dad.
And number three...
you're good-looking, too.
(Acknowledged)
He's cool.
We hope that
the three of you will become happier.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
This is really a happy home.
The dinner in Heukseuk-dong is full with happy love.
This is delicious. Moon-kyung, this is good.
- The sauce is delicious. - It is.
- Did you guys come here alone? - Yes.
Weren't you scared to come to Korea?
- You didn't know anyone. - At first, everything was unfamiliar.
But I'm okay now.
- You're okay now? - Yes.
- You got used to it? - Yes.
- How many more years will you be here? - For about two more years.
- So until you graduate? - Yes. I hope I can graduate safely.
- I have two years left. - I see.
Then are you going to go back to China to apply what
you learned or are you going to settle down here?
I haven't decided yet.
- You haven't? - Not yet.
So I'm still thinking about it.
- There are many students from China. - Yes.
Why are there so many of them?
I think it's because China has a large population...
(The population is large, so there are many students.)
(The fact is his style.)
(Can't argue with the population of 1.3 billion people)
- So that's why. - That was a simple answer.
It's not because they like Korea.
There are just a lot of Chinese people.
- Do your parents send you money? - Yes.
- They send it to you? - Yes.
- Same here?- Yes.
- Do you have any siblings? - I don't have any siblings.
- You're the only daughter? - Yes.
- You're the only daughter, but you're here? - Yes.
- Your parents are living alone? - Yes.
- What about you? You're the only daughter as well? - Yes.
- Usually people around our age are only children. - Yes.
Why?
There's a rule in China where you can't have many kids, right?
- Right now, the rule has changed. - Oh, but it's just like that for your generation.
- I'm sorry, but your age? - How old are you?
- I'm 22. - I'm 26.
- You're 26? Then you're a lot older than her. - Yes.
- But you guys talk informally to each other. - Yes.
There's nothing like that in China.
- There are no honorifics in China. - It's like America?
Yes. Age doesn't matter. Everyone can be friends.
My daughter is 24 years old. They're around my daughter's age.
- They are. - I'm tearing up.
- Exactly. And you only have one daughter, too. - Right.
- Do you guys chat through video calls with your parents? - Yes.
It's like a report. I tell them what I did
each day. "I did this and that. This was fun."
- Call your mother and tell her you're on TV. - Yes.
I don't know if she'll be home.
- Tell her you're doing well. - Call your hometown.
(Controlling the angle)
- Hello? - She answered!
They came over to my place.
This is a program where they knock on your door and eat with you.
Oh, I see. I understand.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Korea. I'm Lee Kyung-kyu. - I'm Kim Sung-joo.
- Hello. Come to China next time. - She wants you to come over.
(We'd love to go to Harbin~)
We'll go over there to Harbin!
- Okay. - Okay.
Your mother is good at English.
This is great. You guys have a great time.
- Bye! - Bye!
- Your mother is very young. - Yes, she is.
- Her mother is a stewardess. - Yes, she is.
- Your mother is a stewardess? - Yes.
- That's why she's pretty. - Stewardess.
What do you think are the differences between Korea and China?
Speaking in honorifics and the hierarchy of age.
- The age. - The senior and junior hierarchy.
- That's right. We have that. - Like I mentioned earlier,
you can't be friends if you're not the same age.
- Right. - But in China, it doesn't matter.
We're just friends.
- You guys are friends? - Yes.
- We're friends, too. - What is the age difference between you two?
- We're four years apart. - We're 12 years apart.
We're the year of the rat.
- China has that, too, right? - Yes.
Monkey.
- What year are you? - The year of the monkey.
- Rat. - Oh! We're all year of the rat!
There was a reason why we came in here!
All three of us were born in the year of the rat!
- He was born in 1960. - 1960.
- I was born in 1972. - 1972.
- 1996. - You were born in 1996.
(The two rats (?) are excited after finding a connection.)
- That's fate, you know. - Right.
What is the difference between Korean college students and Chinese college students?
- Is there a difference? - That.
- Even in cold weather, female Korean students will wear mini-skirts. - Right.
- Oh, they wear that? - Isn't it cold?
We wouldn't know. We never wore them before. It's for fashion and style.
Are Korean men or Chinese men better looking?
There are good-looking people everywhere.
- They're everywhere. People have different tastes. - Right.
That doesn't have to do with countries.
- She can't come up with an answer. - It's individual taste.
What is "Let's Eat Dinner Together" in Chinese?
Show as in s-h-o-w.
Oh, so the word "show" in the title doesn't actually mean show.
- It's not show. - It's not this kind of show.
- It means "please." - Like "please."
- It's not a "dinner show." - That's not it.
It's speaking in honorifics, as in "please give us dinner." Then what is it in Chinese?
- Do you know Dongguk University? - Yes, my friend goes there.
(I went to Dongguk University.)
- I applied for that school. - Me, too.
- You guys applied for there, too? - Yes.
- You guys got into this school first so you came here?- Yes.
- I got into there, too. - You got into both?
They could've gone to Dongguk University.
- They could've become my junior colleagues. - Right.
- Dongguk University. - Chungang University.
Even though this is a small room, I hope you dream big here.
- It's time for us to do the dishes. - It won't take long.
- Don't you have to wash the baby's dishes separately? - Yes.
- You can't mix them with the adults' dishes. - Yes. You can leave them here.
- I'll just wash these. - You know about it.
Of course.
(He washed the baby's dishes separately.)
(Meticulous)
(Washing the dishes until he makes a hole in them)
Housewife Ahn is so meticulous that he won't even allow a little dirt.
- You don't wash the dishes at home, do you? - I don't. My wife usually does.
Thanks to the show, Sung-joo is able to wash dishes today.
This is how you do it.
- In Korea, we say "kimchi." What do you say in China? - Qie zi. Egg plant.
- Why do you guys say "egg plant?" - It sounds similar to cheese.
- Right. - How do you say it?
One, two, three!
Qie zi!
If we leave an empty spot for your husband, we can put him in there through CG.
It will air on TV, too.
Houses 87 and 88 that gave us more memories have been born in Heukseuk-dong.
- Hello. - This is Ha-joon's house.
Thank you for giving us good memories.
- Bye. - Bye.
We had a good time, and we're very happy.
This is a precious memory during our life studying abroad.
Thank you so much.
Don't! Don't!
(Why is he in such pain?)
Don't!
(This is...!)
(This is the tallest skyscraper in Jamsil!)
- Can we jump? - No.
Not you! Do it when you're alone!
(Jumping pig./His heart stopped.)
- No! - No!
The employees are working hard, so you should
take a picture with them. One, two, three.
Why am I taking this?
One in a million! Hello! We're Twice!
How could you not know them?
- They're Twice? - Jung-yeon and Da-hyun.
Do you know C.W.C?
- What is it? - "Corpse Without Cuteness."
(Twice's official C.W.C Da-hyun!)
(She can dance as well!)
- Swag! - Swag!
With half a bottle of soju, I can do about 300 cute acts.
- Please show us. - Show us.
(Cuteness from half a bottle of soju)
- Jung-yeon is famous for making weird expressions. - She's good at them.
Two, three!
(If you're curious, don't miss it!)
- There are so many apartments, huh? - Of course.
When you think of Jamsil, you think of apartments.
I'm nervous!
- Do it. - You can do it, Jung-yeon!
- You can do it! - Hello?
I don't think they're home. Please.
- No one is responding. - You guys failed.
No! No! Let me wait a little bit longer!
They're on the phone. In a while...
- They're on the phone. - An intercom can be on the phone, too? How?
- You're unlucky. - I know.
- Swag! - Let's get it.
- I'm Twice's Da-hyun! - I don't know who you are...
(A release of Twice's hit songs!)
- You should ring someone else's doorbell. - This isn't easy.
- What if both teams fail? - That won't happen.
We're going to rush because there's no time.
If all of us fail...
("Let's Eat Dinner Together"/Wednesday 10:50 p.m.)
- Thank you. - Bye.
Bye-bye, Ha-joon.
- He's smiling. - Bye.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Most people wouldn't do this because the world is hard-hearted nowadays.
- But she wholeheartedly gave us dinner. - She let us in.
- We made another beautiful story in Heukseuk-dong. - Yes.
This road to me is...
This is a special experience for me. Way to go!
Will you eat dinner with people who are as sweet and happy as doves?
