(This program is a documentary where two MCs, who survived in the
jungle-like world of variety shows, go on a trip to find dinner.)
(Gyeongju)
"A thousand years passed...and a thousand more years passed...
One day, you will sit here and brightly think of the moon."
These are Silla women who appeared after a thousand years.
Today, Kyung-kyu, we're at Gyeongju, a thousand-year-old city.
- This is the Anapji Pond. - Oh, this?
This is it.
This is the pond with the moon in it. It means it's that much beautiful.
This place is beautiful.
The 30th king Munmu of Silla
created this pond in order to commemorate the union of the three kingdoms.
- So this is man-made. - That's right. It was made.
So there were parties here. More like cabinet dinners. The cabinet dinners of a king.
- Kyung-kyu! - What?
Go Hyun-jung!
It's Go Hyun-jung! Queen Seondok!
I thought so, too, but the one who was Queen Seondok was Lee Yo-won.
In the drama, Go Hyun-jung played Misil.
Then today...
Go Hyun-jung? Lee Yo-won?
At Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond where the rise and
fall of the thousand-year-old Silla happened...
Is Misil and Queen Seondok waiting for Kyungk-kyu and Ho-dong?
(Who are these women?)
Hold on. I see her right away. Look at her.
It really suits her! Who could that woman be?
There's no reason for anyone to be sitting there in traditional Korean wear.
Hold on. She's laughing to herself.
- She's not an entertainer. - She's laughing to herself.
She's shy.
- She's feeling out of place. - Entertainers usually aren't shy about this.
She can't lift up her head.
- Isn't she Go Hyun-jung? - I don't think so.
- Hello! - Hello.
Wait a minute! Stay there!
- Are you an actress or a singer? - I'm nobody.
- Are you Miss Korea? - I'm sorry.
- Huh? - I'm sorry!
- You're not Miss Korea? - Can you guess who I am?
- You need to give us a hint. - I'm always around you.
- You're always around us? - Yes.
Isn't she the dubbing artist of our show?
Oh, come on! She's a bit older!
Ho-dong, it's not me.
I think you're not interested in that area usually.
- Fashion? - Yes!
- Wow! - Fashion?
Even though you see her, you might go, "Who are you?"
She's a total pro in fashion.
Dinner guest, please reveal yourself!
Welcome!
- Hello! - Hello!
Who..?
No top star hasn't been styled by her.
The skillful hands in the fashion world and superstars'
stylist Han Hye-yeon has come to "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello! Hello!
- Who is she, Kyung-kyu? - Are you a fashion designer?
- No, not a designer. - Who is she, Kyung-kyu?
- Doesn't she seem like a fortune teller? - Yes.
At this moment, she's like a shaman.
- I'm sorry, but please stand like this. - Sure.
See? She seems like one!
- You give off a shaman feel. - There's nothing I can do about this.
I apologize.
(Done searching her up)
She drank with Jeon Hyun-moo before.
She came out in many variety shows.
- I watched all of your episodes on "My Little Television." - You did? I apologize.
- We welcome you. - Thank you.
- Let's go. - Okay.
After Misil's identity has been revealed,
we are more curious about the other identity of the Silla woman.
(They finally discovered her!)
(One lady is waiting for the three of them in a white Korean traditional robe...)
I usually recognize the guests, but I don't know people in the fashion world.
No, she's an actress.
- Then I know her. - Really?
Go and see her.
- Let us know if you know her. - What if he still doesn't know her?
- Hello. - It'd be hilarious if he doesn't know her.
Let me take a look at you.
- I know her. - Name! One!
I know her. The reason I know her is because she came
to audition for her my movie and I eliminated her.
Oh, my! I can't believe this!
So you guys have an ill fate.
I dropped her and then my movie hit rock bottom.
My movie was ruined, and I lost that actress as well.
Then she succeeded in a movie.
Kim Ah-joong!
Hello.
Distressed beauty Kim Ah-joong who met her enemy in Gyeongju.
The woman with beauty and acting skills who took over as the
queen of drama to queen of loco came to take over the show today.
- Welcome! - Thank you.
You two came out together. Are you guys related fashion-wise?
Yes, I've been her stylist for a long time now.
I'm still concerned about her style.
They met through work but became friends.
Wait a minute. Ah-joong has no reason to come here.
Actually, the director and writer of this show
did "Happy Together" with me during my rookie days.
- You guys met through work. - Yes.
They told me to come out once, so I said yes.
You're here with people who helped you with your future and
- the person who eliminated you from an audition. - What?
(What did I do...?)
To be honest, I didn't even know if I had made it or not.
The movie never made it.
- You remember auditioning though. - Yes, I remember that.
I never heard if I made it or not.
That's right. That was tragic...
We get to meet again.
You never know when and where you'll meet someone.
This is why you must be nice.
- Anyways... - Let's get going.
You came when the 100th house will be born.
100 kilograms of rice will be given under the names of those who find the 100th house.
- 100 kilograms. - 100 kilograms of rice.
- That's great. - 100 kilograms.
The 100th dinner that was possible due to the 99 dinner.
Who will take the honor of being the 100th house of Silla, a thousand-year-old city?
We should team up well then. How is your luck usually?
I'm very lucky.
My clothes already gained such great energy.
Do you think you'll find the 100th house?
How does our future look today?
Very bright.
Today is bright!
There are no obstacles. It is very bright.
- Today? - There isn't anything sharp. I'm getting a good vibe about this.
Spoons that got the shaman's fortune telling is delivered.
"Go to Hwangnam-dong, Gyeongju-shi and eat dinner there."
Today's neighborhood to find the 100th house.
Hwangnam-dong, Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
Gyeongju is called a huge world cultural heritage city.
Hwangnam-dong has the glorious treasures of the thousand-year-old
city and is a place where the Korean-style houses are preserved.
In this place where there are the Cheomseongdae Pink Myulli and Hwangnidangil
what kind of stores will the descendents of Silla tell us?
"Let's Eat Dinner Together" episode 61: Silla's Moonlit Night.
- Hwangnam bread. That's right. - Right.
- There's the Hwangnan ...Road. -Hwangnidangil.
(Error in the memories of old and infirm literature major...)
(Very embarrassed)
Hwangnidangil!
For 3 days, I memorized the thousand-year history of Silla.
- Really? - So my head is very complicated.
- I must say it quickly before I forget. - Okay.
- Hwangnidangil. - Yes.
He always keeps Yoo Si-min in mind as his rival.
(Disaster called forth by jealousy...)
He's a literature major who recites from memory, and
I'm someone who sees it and talks about it right away.
So I always forget it!
This is hilarious.
But I came to visit Gyeongju a month and a half ago.
- For no reason? - For no reason.
- Oh, my. - This could be coincidence.
- Right. - This is Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond.
- The night view is really spectacular. - Right.
- Because of the moon's reflection. - Right. It's called
"Wolji" because it's a pond reflected by the moon.
When it's night, you can't tell which one is the palace.
(A beautiful night where the moon and brilliant thousand years are embedded in it)
I heard that you're very sentimental.
- She's no joke. - I heard she's called Sentimental Ah-joong.
Are you the style to not be able to come out of your character?
When I was young, I didn't know what was going on and got lost.
But nowadays, I know some tricks to deal with it.
- Even though you come out of it? - Yes.
Do you think you'll succeed?
I think so. She has a good winning rate.
- Who? - AJ. She has a great winning rate.
I'm not a celebrity, so I'm afraid people will go "Who are you?"
I'm going to go into poor mode. "I'm cold."
If you brought that kind of plan, you should've went weak with your eyeliner.
I can't give this up though.
This is my signature.
There are many people who dislike it, but well...
(Gyeongju has the scent of a thousand-year-old Silla)
The scenery is amazing.
What we just passed by is Wolseong Ground.
- What's that? - It's the site of a palace, and it's in the shape of a half-moon.
So it's called Banwolseong.
The residents here look at the view during their dates.
(Look at her...)
You can see everything from one spot.
- This was here since 1,000 years ago. - 1,500 years.
1,500 years ago.
From what I know, Cheomseongdae was from 600 years...
- Was it 637 years? - It was made around 630 years ago.
I'll explain everything to you in front of Cheomseongdae.
Kyung-kyu, it's cheomseongdae! Wow!
- I see it. - Wow! The energy, huh?
- Oh my goodness. - That's been around for 1,500 years, right?
(Silla's pride of architecture is still standing strong.)
(Cheomseongdae)
- It's kind of tilted, isn't it? - Yes, it's fascinating.
- Is it really? - It is.
It's a bit crooked, huh?
- Ah-joong. - Yes?
Does the Cheomseongdae have an earthquake-resistant design?
I don't know if they constructed it with that in mind or not,
but you know how there was an earthquake in Gyeongju?
- Yes. - They say it tilted back then. About two centimeters?
But the fact that it endured the earthquake proves that the construction was amazing.
Rather than saying they did it with an earthquake-resistant design in mind,
they made this with their scientific logic back then.
However, that endured the earthquake.
If you look up 2/3 of the way, there are stones coming out of the structure.
They say the stones are positioned in hash-looking designs in there.
They said the building endured the earthquake due to those stones.
You see the open space? If you look up, there are 12 stones in there.
Those 12 represent the months of the year.
The 27 layers below represent the 27th ruler.
- Queen Seondok. - That's right. She told them to do that.
When the sun hits the structure, light comes from that window.
People use that to find out the time of the year since they have to farm.
(You are currently watching JTBC not EBS.)
- Hold on. Do you have anything to respond to that? - What do you mean?
- They have to keep responding. - A battle!
- Why battle over this? - Judging from the way
they figured out the time of the year with that...
If you judge that from the constellation, you can go up on the mountain and do that.
I think the reason why they constructed it like this is to assure
the people that the country was advanced in science like this.
Don't ask.
Why did Kim Ah-joong have to come? She stole everything I
was going to say about Cheomseongdae that I memorized.
Goodness. My head hurts.
Literature Lee was knocked out by Literature Ah.
Anyways, Ah-joong, this isn't EBS.
That's going towards Daereungwon.
(She even knows about Gyeongju's geography.)
(They followed Literature Ah to Daereungwon.)
When they entered Daereungwon,
they arrived at the burial grounds where the golden culture is asleep.
There's still fall foliage. My goodness.
The warm fall foliage greets Kyung-kyu and Ho-dong.
It's very beautiful!
- It's really pretty up there. - Were these trees always here?
You're not supposed to look forward. You're supposed to look up.
AJ, you have look up like this! It's so beautiful!
- It's different looking at it like this, right? - Yes.
- Wow. It's like a movie. - It's so pretty.
(They walk in the movie-like tunnel of fall
foliage where you want to walk with your lover.)
People make a fuss, don't they? About why you won't meet your partner?
I don't hear that, but AJ...
I don't.
She thinks her soulmate is really there.
I want to tell her there isn't.
That there's no fateful soulmate?
- What's your ideal type? The type of guy you like? - My ideal type?
- Hey. - Ideal type. Ideal type.
Why are you talking about ideal types in front of the royal tomb?
We came back to the future in front of our ancestors.
- Let's look at the royal tomb. - But she needs to love...
But many people propose in front of this royal tomb.
Isn't that odd?
Does it mean their love will transcend life and death?
In the boundary between love and death...
- Are they vowing eternal love? - They're searching
for the answer of love in this question of life.
(Embarrassed)
I think I'm becoming like you!
Something came over you two.
Sentimental Ah-joong is now trying to take over Ho-dong's spot.
This is Cheonmachong, but they're doing construction.
We can't go in.
Unfortunately, due to construction, they are
unable to see the interior of the Cheonmachong.
No one knows whose tomb this is,
but it came to be called Cheonmachong because of the drawing of a flying white horse.
Just like Ah-joong said, is this place the boundary between life and death?
An alley with a totally different from the Cheonmachong appears.
- Hwangnidangil. - It's so pretty here!
Hwangnidangil is the current city next to Cheonmachong.
This was built a long time ago, but it's still here.
They only changed the inside and changed the places to restaurants and cafes.
You know how Gyeongridangil became really popular.
They got the name from there and came up with Hwangnidangil.
It's known as the road of youth.
(A road you really want to go to)
(Hurry up~)
Oh, this alley!
- It was there from a while back. - The alley!
It's an alley that young kids used to play around in the 70's.
If you go back there, the buildings from the 60's and 70's are still there.
There are really no high buildings.
- There aren't. - Because of the limit of altitude.
- It's nice that the buildings aren't high. - You can see the sky from the front.
I'm hungry after passing by the restaurants.
- The smell is really getting to me. I've become sensitive. - I'm hungry.
- If you could eat anything, what would you eat, Ah-joong? - Kimchi stew.
It's not easy to make a choice.
I love all foods with cabbage.
- It's cabbage season right now. - Right.
- Right. It's kimchi season. - Just hearing the word cabbage is delicious.
The half-dried herring.
It's half-dried herring season!
- If you eat half-dried herring in cabbage... - It's so delicious.
- Half-dried herring. - Half-dried herring.
(Half-dried herring/Did you call for me...?)
I really want to go in there.
The half-dried herring at Pohang's costal water
glimmer in front of Ho-dong and the dinner guests.
We're going into the residential area where we have to ring the doorbells tonight.
(The atmosphere is unusual...)
- This is really like the old homes. - I feel like we
rode a time machine and entered a historical play.
As if they went back in time, the Hwangnam-dong
residences are filled with tile-roofed houses.
These were built in the 60's and 70's.
The roofs were changed to titles.
I want to go inside and ask why they made the roofs this way.
(Just then, they discover a home with the door open.)
Excuse me. Hello.
Why are there tiles on the roofs?
Are these tile-roofed homes?
If you do it, the city will pay 50% of the construction fees.
Oh, I see.
The government decided to make tile-roofed homes for the historical cultural city,
so 13,000 Korean traditional houses protect the old homes of Gyeongju.
- Look! Kyung-kyu, you just pass by it, huh? - What?
You left this behind. It's dried radish greens.
The elder is coming out. Don't touch it.
- Hello. - Hello.
Ma'am, the dried radish greens-
- Oh, my. - Wow! Ho-dong! I like you, Kang Ho-dong!
Thank you. Have you been living here for a long time?
- Yes. - How long?
About 50 years. Next year, it will be my 50th wedding anniversary.
- So you came here after you got married? - Yes.
What's good about living in Hwangnam-dong?
Well, the air is fresh, and there's a park nearby.
The market is nearby.
The transportation is comfortable, and the terminal is close, too.
You know how many foreigners and tourists come here.
Isn't it uncomfortable?
It's nice!
This part of Hwangnam used to be in a slump.
So it was only filled with old people and no young ones.
So it used to be in a slump.
Nowadays, many young people come here, so it's revitalized again, which is great.
How can you speak so well?
- Cheer up! - Cheer up!
Good-bye!
She's happy. She said it's revitalized because young people come here.
She's drying a lot of slices of daikon.
- Is it dried slices of daikon? - Yes.
- Ma'am, why are you so drying so many slices of daikon? - My goodness!
- Hello. - Hello!
- Why are you drying so many of them? - These? To sell them.
To sell them? How long have you been living here?
Here? Ever since I was little.
- Since you were little? - Yes.
- When did you put the roof tiles on? - About 100 years ago.
- This house? It's been around for 100 years? - Yes.
There were no stores on Hwangnidangil back then, right?
Right. It was lousy!
There was nothing?
There were homes, and they're reconstructed
now, but back then it was like a waste dump.
It took about a year to remake.
- It developed a lot now. - It did.
The price of land increased greatly. Its amount multiplied.
This is about $5000 per pyeong.
Over there, it's about $10,000 per pyeong.
- The price increased a lot. - Yes, to about $12,000 per pyeong.
Does everyone live in the houses?
Yes, but they're filled with old people. There aren't any young ones.
They went to the apartments.
I never heard a baby's cry for years now.
- Why are there so many young people here? - They're from TV.
- Hello. - My goodness!
My goodness! You came here?
- Ho-dong, say hi. - My goodness! The horse dance guy is here, too!
- He was a former wrestler. - No.
- He is. - She thinks I'm Psy!
(Explosion of horse dance)
(Hwangnam Style)
- He is Psy! - He's not!
He's the former wrestler Kang Ho-dong.
He seems like Ho-dong and Psy.
Ma'am, let's do it. Ready, go! "Gangnam style!"
- What is her age? - 87.
- How are you related to each other? - She's my big sister.
How many years have you been living here?
- I lived here ever since I was 17. - So 70 years.
She lived here for 70 years.
I have good luck today. I meet people like you guys.
- We'll be going now. - Good-bye.
- It's cold, so please go inside. Thank you. - Thank you.
- Be healthy. - Thank you.
After a refreshing meeting with Hwangnam style grandmother...
I don't think there are any convenience stores here.
- There was one on the road. - Really? Wow, you saw that first. I didn't see it.
Just in case we have to go.
Kyung-kyu, take a look.
We're in the Hwangnam-dong residential area,
- if you look over there, you can kind of see the tomb. - I see it.
Yes, I see it.
- That's a mountain? - Oh, it is?
So that wasn't a tomb?
(Humiliated)
Everyone here was like, "Right. Wow! Is the tomb that big?"
Because we didn't know.
Everyone sees it like that.
Time to split the teams.
Kang and Han met, so we're KangHan. The strong siblings.
- You were a guru... - And you're a shaman?
- We're guru-shaman couple. - Strong guru.
- We're Team Audition. - Team Audition.
- Hwangnam-dong's "Let's Eat..." - "Dinner Together!"
It's time to find the100th house in historical
city Gyeongju that will go down in history.
However, contrary to the bright daytime, Hwangnam-dong's night is dark.
The struggling moonlit night of Silla has started.
Wow. The houses are beautiful.
- Stand here and do it. - Go on.
Show your face. It's important you show your face.
You just have to talk. Say how hungry you are.
- All right. - You have my influence, so let's do it.
I think it's possible.
- Way to go, 100th house. - Way to go, 100th house.
(She ambitiously prepared her heart.)
(No one is home?)
They just opened the door.
- These cases happen. Just wait. - Don't be flustered.
Don't be flustered. Don't be. This could be a good sign.
It will work.
- Hello, ma'am! - Who are you?
We're from the broadcast station. Are you alone?
- You're from the broadcast station? - Yes.
What brings you here?
What was it again? We're the show "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
What?
Her husband is coming out.
- Hello, sir. - Come next time.
- This is a program where you eat dinner together. - Go away!
Okay.
(Totally embarrassed)
(Frozen)
This is the worst.
(This is more shocking than being eliminated from the audition.)
Fortunately, it was you that did it. Imagine if it had happened to Ah-joong.
They seemed very old, so I purposely did it.
Thank you. Thank you.
What do we do?
- Hye-yeon. - This is nice.
Try it.
The bell gives off a nice vibe. It's clean.
(Second doorbell ringing for the 100th house.)
(Is no one home?)
(Surprised)
- They open the gate easily. - Hello!
- Hi. - I'm stylist Han Hye-yeon.
- Did you eat dinner? - Yes.
I see.
- Good night! - Good night!
You're really good at this, Hye-yeon.
- That's not it. - You're not nervous.
I have to hurry up and eat first. I'm starving!
If we don't succeed, we have to go to the convenience store?
It's the 100th house, so we can't think we can't succeed.
All right. Got it.
Ah-joong, we got it.
- Doesn't it feel like we can add the 100th house tag here? - Yes.
- Lower yourself. - They'll come out right away.
Eye-level.
(They wait, but there's no response.)
Sir?
There's no one home.
Wow. Today isn't easy.
I'm already getting a difficult vibe from this.
- 100th house isn't easy. - Don't say that!
- It's difficult. - We'll make it!
From the beginning, they're going astray from Shaman Han's prediction.
Over here! I'm getting a good vibe!
- It's different! - The eagle is like the 100th house.
- We got this. - This is a nice place.
- Yes. - Wow. Number 101.
It'd be amazing if this was the 100th house.
(They ring the doorbell with swollen anticipation.)
(There's no answer.)
- This was done with new roof tiles. - Oh, my legs!
Go? Let's go.
- Ho-dong, you do it. - What do I do? That scared me.
- We have to wait until someone comes out. - Okay.
Hello!
Sir! Sir!
He's watching TV after opening the gate.
Sir!
(Rings the doorbell again)
(This is the first time this has happened.)
(He's going towards the intercom.)
Sir! Sir!
He just keeps opening the gate.
- Sir! - He's coming out.
- Wow! - Were you watching TV?
- Hello. - It's been a long time!
- It's been a while! Have you been well? - Yes.
- Hello. - Do you recognize her?
- I don't. - Right?
- Oh, no! - Why do you think we're carrying spoons?
I'm not sure.
- This is a program where you eat dinner together. - I see.
It's a show where we eat and talk about various things.
- Did you eat dinner, sir? - No, I didn't.
Who lives with you?
Everyone went to the bath house. I'm home alone.
- Are they coming home soon? - Yes.
Okay. So my guest and I...
- They say people who eat together are family. - Right.
Will you be our family tonight?
At coincidence and fate-like house number 101,
Will Team Strong Guru be able to get the 100th house?
- Will you be our family tonight? - Yes.
(The 100th house is born!)
Are you okay with this? Who in your family went to the bath house?
My wife, daughter, and granddaughter.
Is it okay if you don't discuss this with them?
- Yes, it's fine. - He's in control!
- What time will they be coming? - Let me give them a call.
Sure.
- Should we come in then? - Come on in.
- If it's okay, go in. - Bye, Kyung-kyu.
Seems like he's in control here.
- There's no refusal. - Congratulations!
- The 100th house. - This is the 100th house!
Yes, this is the 100th house.
100th house! We lost it!
- This is house number 101. - 101.
I told you everything is okay. I told you there are no obstacles.
Today is bright! There are no obstacles. It is very bright.
(She's even amazed herself.)
- You should hurry up and go. I'll go in here. - Let's go.
(It's too bad, but they must go find the 101st house...)
Thank you. See you next week, Kyung-kyu.
Kyung-kyu...
It's fine. It's fine.
I lost the audition...and I lost the 100th house as well.
The end-of-the-year is supposed to end warmly.
Since we lost the 100th house, we can go find the 101st house.
Let's go in.
They enter the dinner story of a house with a yard that is
as wide as the man's warm heart that happily welcomed them.
- Did you talk to your wife? - She's not picking up because she's washing.
- May we look around the yard? - Of course.
Wow. This place is...
The yard is really wide.
- It's beautiful, isn't it? - Yes.
Sir, your yard is wonderful! You should wear my coat!
- But sir... - It's hot. It's very hot.
- Won't your wife and daughter be uncomfortable of filming? - Not at all.
Not at all? We don't have to worry the slightest bit?
Yes. Not even the slightest bit.
How long have you been living in this house?
About ten years.
- Then you reconstruct this place when you moved here ten years ago? - Yes.
Can we take a look at the crocks?
- There are a hundred of them! - Isn't your house too big?
Do you use all of them?
Actually, we run a restaurant.
It's been around for 50 years.
(He runs a 50-year-old traditional rib restaurant.)
What about today's business?
I don't run it. My children do it now.
I only go out once in a while to check on the situation.
My children are taking care of it.
- Why do you need so many crock pots to run a restaurant? - We need to make the sauce.
- For the rib restaurant? - Yes.
It's fundamental. Rib restaurants use conventional bean paste.
We make that and use it.
May we take a look?
This has been fermenting for five years.
- Oh my goodness. - Try smelling it.
I can smell it all the way from here.
- This has been fermenting for five years? - It's been about that long.
You didn't know us, but you opened the gate right away.
At first, I just opened it without a thought, but at the second
doorbell, I went to take a closer look and thought, "That's odd!"
- You thought it was TV. - So I just opened it.
- Actually, I thought I was dreaming. - Oh, sir!
(Welcoming guests appeared out of nowhere)
While the Team Strong Guru are leisurely enjoying the atmosphere of the 100th house...
(6:40 p.m.: Kyung-kyu & Ah-joon are ringing doorbells.)
Team Audition is breathlessly searching for the 101st team.
The light is on!
(They ring the doorbell out of nervousness.)
Who is it?
Hello, ma'am. I'm actress Kim Ah-joong. Do you know me by any chance?
This neighborhood doesn't talk!
They don't talk! They just open the gate!
- Who is it? - Hello, ma'am.
- Hi. - I'm actress Kim Ah-joong.
We are a program where we eat dinner together and talk. Do you know about it?
- I think I saw it on TV. - You did?
- Did you eat dinner? - Yes.
- Oh, that's unfortunate. - Thank you. Hello I'm Lee Kyung-kyu.
- Oh my goodness! - Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!
- Did you eat dinner? - Yes, I did!
- Why did you eat so early? - We usually eat dinner early.
- We'll go to another house. - All right.
Thank you.
Goodness. We're hearing "my goodness" a lot today.
- But we still have some time left, right? - We do.
(Kyung-kyu rings the doorbell and Ah-joong goes in.)
Who is it?
Hello, ma'am. I'm actress Kim Ah-joong.
- Sorry? - I'm actress Kim Ah-joong. Do you know me?
- I don't. - Oh, dear.
We're JTBC's "Let's Eat Dinner Together." Did you eat dinner yet?
I don't know. Please go somewhere else.
- Okay. - Okay, we understand. Thank you.
Ah-joong, she told us in a friendly way to "please go somewhere else."
Just like her friendly advice, they go somewhere else, but...
Hello. I'm actress Kim Ah-joong. Did you eat dinner?
- We ate already. - Oh, dear...
(Absent)
(Absent 2)
(Absent 3)
Let's go.
A majority of the families ate already or there is no one home.
What will they do?
Wow. I'm envious of them. They got in fast.
We'll get in soon.
(They go onto the next house without wasting time!)
(Now she rings the doorbell by herself without any hesitance.)
Good. Good.
- Should I open it for you? - Who are you?
- The house owner. - Hello!
- Actress Kim Ah-joong. - Hello!
You're so pretty.
- Are you the son of this family? - Yes.
- Really? - Mom.
- Hello. - Go inside and talk to your mom.
(He dispatches the boy to make a deal with his mom.)
- Tell her this is "Let's Eat Dinner Together." - She didn't eat yet, did she?
- She didn't eat yet. - Go and ask her.
- Come in. It's okay. - Ask her.
It should be fine.
- Did you eat yet? - No.
- Then we can eat together. - Yes.
- Are you a student? - Yes. I took the SAT this year.
- You did? - Yes.
- Then you should ask your mom. - She'll probably say yes.
You should ask her first.
There's a young person, and he recognized me, so I'm grateful.
I've never been so grateful that someone recognized me before.
- He's the youngest person in this neighborhood. - Yes.
He's the youngest one in this village. He's a rare sight.
(Will he give them good news?)
Hello, ma'am. Hello!
If you didn't eat dinner yet, may we join you?
I... I... My goodness... I don't know what to do.
Oh, no. If you're uncomfortable, you don't have to do it.
Okay. I'm sorry.
- I understand. It's fine. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Bye. Thank you.
- Let's go. Bye! - Thank you for recognizing me.
The golden time for dinner passed by.
As urgent as they feel, their footsteps get faster.
- I think everyone eats early here. - Here.
(They discover a house with lights on without walls.)
Baby!
Hello!
(She ran out quickly.)
Ah-joong, greet her.
- Hello. This is Kim Ah-joong, and I'm Lee Kyung-kyu. - Hello.
- We came from Seoul to Jeju, I mean... - "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
- For Gyeongju episode. - We came for Gyeongju episode.
- If you didn't eat yet, may Ah-joong and I join you...? - And talk with you?
- Please hold on. - Sure, go and discuss with them.
- You didn't eat yet, right? - Right. We were about to set the table.
- Then please talk with them. - Okay.
I have a good vibe about this place.
- They're setting up the table. - I think we're going to go in.
How nice.
Hello! Hello!
(Uneasy)
We don't have much to eat.
- It's fine. - We just made kimchi.
- Goodness! Then may we...? - Will it be okay?
Although they missed the 100th house, will they be able to enter
the 101st house that will start the beginning of a new history?
- May we eat together? - Sure.
Thank you!
(Celebratory high-five)
- I told you to come here! - Yes.
- We'll come in now. - Go ahead.
(7:12 p.m.: Kyung-kyu & Ah-joong enter the 101st house.)
There must be a lot of people living here.
- No, it's because we made kimchi today. - Hello. It's nice to meet you.
- You didn't eat yet, did you? - No, we were just setting it up.
Exactly. What is your relationship to each other?
She's my big sister.
He lives apart, so he came over.
- So he came to visit? - Yes.
- My house is messy. - It's fine.
Hello. Hi.
- Did you make it today? - Yes, we made kimchi today.
It's nice to meet you.
She's our cousin.
- She's your cousin? - Yes.
- If she's your cousin... - Our aunt's daughter.
- Oh, aunt's daughter. - Yes.
- And you guys are siblings. - Yes.
And this is your aunt's daughter's...
Daughter's daughter.
You guys made kimchi today. How many did you make?
- 65. - You made a lot.
- Do all of you live together? - No.
I live with my husband and our two daughters.
- We have a lot of visitors. - Right?
You guys don't even have a wall.
- So that anyone can come at any time. - Right.
They came into the dinner story of a loving home in Gyeongju that
completed construction last spring where endless guests visit.
- Are you married? - Not yet.
- So that's why you come to eat dinner here? - Yes. I come here often.
Right? You come to your sister's house to eat dinner.
Were you born in Gyeongju?
No, my hometown is Daegu.
But my sister's husband and I work with gas in Gyeongju.
- So we all moved here. - So you came from Daegu to here.
Then in this house, your sister, brother-in-law...
My two nieces.
- They're not back from work yet? - Yes.
They'll be here soon.
(Mrs. Kang is busy preparing dinner.)
(Just made kimchi along with its perfect partner boiled park)
When did you make the boiled pork?
I made it just a while ago after making kimchi to feed my family.
Then you guys came. I was very happy to see you.
On the way here, we noticed that many people
in Gyeongju plant cabbage in their gardens.
We planted them not to long ago, so we just bought the cabbages.
- What's that soup? - I made beef leg soup a few days ago.
Ah-joong helps prepare dinner by putting soup in bowls and kimchi in the dishes.
(Great teamwork)
Eating just made kimchi on the first day is delicious.
(Chopping green onions to put in the beef leg soup)
- Did you run a restaurant before? - No!
Wow. Your knife skills are spectacular.
The radish kimchi that can't be left out when eating beef leg soup appears.
- Should I take out the barbequed beef? - Oh, no!
- Just by what we have. - Right.
You know it very well.
With just made hot rice...
and a mysterious, thick drink...
Gyeongju's dinner table is being set up by the entire familyâs cooperative teamwork.
The house that Ho-dong entered just a while ago is the 100th house.
- Then it's a special episode with the 100th house. - It is!
We came to Gyeongju because it's a special episode.
Then this is the 101st house.
101st house.
(Someone is calling him.)
Why is Ho-dong calling me so early?
- Hello? - Kyung-kyu.
- Is it okay for you to talk? - Yes.
We successfully entered the 100th house first, right?
Why?
We were about to eat dinner...
but his wife...
His wife...? No way...?
We were about to eat dinner...
but his wife...
can't come home because she's burdened by the filming.
Oh...
(10 minutes ago...)
First off, we came to a house that runs a 50-year-old ribs restaurant.
You must be blessed with food.
They waited for his wife while dreaming of eating plenty of ribs...
but she didn't come and time passed by.
Their lips are becoming dry.
- We came in at 6:20... - But now it's almost 7:00.
I think you got a phone call.
- You got a call, right? - Hello?
- Hello? - Why aren't you coming home?
- Honey, the house is a mess. - I cleaned it all up.
Really? We can't do it?
(Did...we...hear wrong?)
She said she can't come right now.
- Then we can't eat here. - Sir, we'll be on our way now.
I think your wife isn't coming home because she's uncomfortable by us.
- We'll be going now. - Thank you.
In the end, the 100th house...
- So we came out of the house. - Oh, dear.
My goodness. Ms. Kang, congratulations.
This is the 100th house.
- What luck! - Oh my goodness. This is the 100th house.
They're at the 100th house!
This is the 100th house. What will you do?
- Ah-joong, congratulations!- This is the 100th house.
- You succeeded already? - We're inside the house already.
There's boiled pork in front of me. They just made kimchi today.
I love that!
- Come here. - You called just when we were about to lift our spoons.
I'm hungry!
Wow. We went to success's doorstep and...
Anyways, you officially went to the 100th house...
Congratulations, Kyung-kyu and Ah-joong.
You have to go to the 101st house, so let's talk later.
- Congratulations! - Thanks.
Thank you!
(In one moment, the destiny of the 100th house changed.)
- Cheer up. - There are cases like this.
- The atmosphere was so great at first. - We can do it.
I thought you could see the future! I thought you said it was bright!
I guess I can't after all.
- We need to hurry, right? - We must hurry.
I thought this house was under construction, but they just got rid of the wall.
- I see. - There's no wall.
- Kyung-kyu went into this house. - Here?
There's dried persimmon here!
(Who is it?)
I'm hungry!
(Envious, huh?)
Look at Kyung-kyu taking the picture. They're just about to eat.
Oh my goodness.
- Oh, my! - I'm hungry.
(Far apart greeting shared over the window)
(Hurry up and go~ You have no time~)
- We'll be going! We have to hurry. - We have to go. Congratulations!
Thank you!
Must be delicious!
We're all hungry, so maybe we can eat now.
- Let's eat. - No, have a seat.
It's time for the documentary. You just have to eat comfortably with your family.
- Really? - While talking.
- We usually don't talk. - We usually just eat without talking.
- That's fine? - Really?
Just act like you normally do. Ready? Action!
("Dinner Theater")
(Awkward/Cringe)
(The "Dinner Theater" is much too hard for them./I'm about to go nuts!)
- Ji-yoo, you can eat this after this. - Eat a lot.
- Hurry up and eat. Ah-joong will be here soon. - Ah-joong is pretty.
(Ji-yoo only looks for pretty Ah-joong.)
- Yummy! You must be happy! - Thank you.
(Ji-yoo is a fan of Ah-joong./Hand!)
(She even shares her most precious snack.)
Why is there no alcohol today?
There has to be a day we don't drink.
You should take a break today. Why do you want to drink every day?
- You drink every day, too. - Exactly.
- It's good, huh? - Yes.
- The cabbage is sweet. - The cabbage you buy now is usually good.
You guys are natural at this.
You said you don't talk a lot, but you talked a lot.
- You should eat the meat, too. - Thank you.
- Eat a lot. - Thank you for the food.
This is a dinner with the cabbage that Ah-joong
loves along with just made kimchi, its fine
partner boiled pork, white raw oysters, warm
fermented bean paste stew, and beef leg soup.
- I hope it will suit your taste - It does.
- What's this? - Black raspberry.
We picked them last year and made them into juice. We opened it not too long ago.
- You made it yourself? - Yes. I didn't add any preservatives.
I don't know if it's good or not.
- Is it good? - It's different from the ones you buy at the market, right?
- Does black raspberry usually taste like this? - Yes.
We don't give it to just anyone.
- Only to precious guests. - I never knew it was this good.
- It's thick. - Mommy!
How pretty. Whose is that?
(It's mine~)
I guess your family will gather at this house often.
Our family loves to gather and make food. That's why I gained weight.
But the food is delicious.
- It is. - Eat a lot.
It's delicious.
But it is spicy.
- We put chili peppers. - It just fires me up!
- It's good though. - We need to make it spicy now
so that it becomes less spicy after being fermented.
I see.
(She takes a cabbage...)
You split it up. Yes, you can divide it up like that.
You know how to eat it.
Ah-joong, who knows how to make wraps,
piles up oyster, kimchi, and boiled meat and firmly puts them in her mouth.
She eats the cabbage she likes raw...
and enjoys it with just made kimchi.
She even finishes it up with black raspberry juice.
Kyung-kyu starts with crunchy and sweet cabbage
and eats diversely with just made kimchi, boiled pork. and oysters.
This is very good!
But the best one is...
- Good, right? - This is good.
(Black raspberry juice that captured his taste bud)
My tiredness is going away.
He's sending off the day's tiredness with thick black raspberry juice.
(With every sip he takes...)
(his eyes are losing their focus...)
Thanks to Ms. Kang's warm heart and great foods,
everyone is enjoying a comfortable dinner.
- I really think this is different. - Is it good?
The sand lance extract and fermented anchovy sauce creates creates a deeper taste.
It's better when it's fermented. It's more delicious after about three months.
Come back then.
Come here whenever you're in Gyeongju.
Thank you.
- My youngest daughter came. - Pardon?
- My youngest daughter. - She's here?
She's back from work.
Say hi. It's Lee Kyung-kyu.
- Hello. - Hello.
- "Let's Eat Dinner Together." - I know.
- Eat dinner. - Join us.
- My youngest daughter. - Youngest daughter.
- How old is she? - She's 20. My oldest is 23.
I got married early when I was 23 years old.
- Sorry? 23? - Yes.
Come join us.
(They start to eat again with an additional family member.)
When I watched the show, I wondered if you would ever come to Gyeongju.
You thought that, too? Us, too.
Your aunt and I were talking about it earlier.
"I wish they could come on the day we make kimchi."
- Really? - Yes, we thought that.
My brother and I were eating, and we were like,
"In Seoul, the people don't open the doors for them when they ring the doorbells.
But if they come on a day we're making kimchi, we'll welcome them with open arms!"
- Really? - Yes.
- How could that happen? - I know.
The strong gurus who are searching for the 101st house.
Why do I feel like it's getting colder?
(A house that makes Ho-dong sentimental is discovered)
- Do you know why they didn't take all of them down? - Why?
To give them to the birds.
If they have the heart to love animals...
- Then will we get in? - Of course!
Let's hurry!
- Okay. Sounds good. - Yes.
Who is it?
Hello. I'm stylist Han Hye-yeon. Do you know me?
- Sorry. - I'm stylist Han Hye-yeon. Do you know me?
- Ma'am? - Yes?
- I'm former wrestler Kang Ho-dong. - I see.
- Do you remember my voice? - Yes.
Did you eat dinner?
I didn't eat yet, but I didn't make food.
You can take your time making food.
- Ma'am, do you like me? - Yes...
May we come in and eat whatever you have...?
I was about to go out.
- Were you on your way out? - Yes.
- All right then. We'll be on our way. - Okay.
- Thank you. - I'm sorry.
- It's fine. Bye. - Bye.
We can't go in if they're about to go out.
- Are you good at running? - I am.
- We have to run now. - Got it.
With one wrong move, it could end up being 8:00.
They start running again while trying
to make up for the loss time with the 100th house.
There's no doorbell here at all.
The gate here is wide open.
(There's no response.)
Even though the light is off, let's try it.
The lights are all off. We need to go someplace else.
They're urgent, but the moonlit night in Silla is getting darker.
Their hope of finding the 101st house is getting darker as well.
My head is suddenly about to go numb.
What do we do?
- Okay. There's a car home, Hye-yeon. - Got it.
(They discover something.)
- They ordered something. - May we ask you a question?
- Did you come to deliver? - Yes.
- What are you delivering? - Chicken.
Chicken? I see.
(After the delivery man goes inside, they ring the doorbell.)
- Who is it? - Sir? I'm Kang Ho-dong.
- May I come in? - Sure.
May I shake your hand?
We just wanted to ask... Thank you for your help, sir.
- No problem. - Good-bye.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
We went around the neighborhood and looked around.
It's fun to talk about this and that, you know?
We can talk in your house.
My guest and I will be the only ones eating with you guys.
- Really? - We'll film you handsomely and make you a great memory.
I'm already handsome.
- I'm sorry. - He's witty!
- Filming is a bit burdensome, right? - Yes.
- Oh, no. - Let's just do it.
- It's understandable that she's uncomfortable. - She's shy, too.
- We'll be going now. - Enjoy your dinner. Thank you.
- We'll just gratefully accept your heart. - Thank you.
- We have to hurry! - Thank you!
They opened the gate out of happiness,
but it's hard to give them dinner.
Oh, this house! Hurry!
The man said yes! The man said yes!
- Who is it? - Hello. We are...
- Please wait. - Okay.
- Are you going to come out? - Yes.
- We'll be waiting! - Okay!
(Nice!)
Yes? Oh, dear!
He just keeps opening the gate for us.
- "It's open. It's open. It's open." - It's open, sir.
- He opened the door with certainty. - That was cool.
Hello, ma'am. We're from JTBC.
- Ho-dong. - Hello!
- It's nice to see you. - Oh! We talked earlier!
- Ho-dong! - Yes?
- I'm your fan! - Ma'am.
- You're so handsome! - Do you live here?
I rang the doorbell without knowing this was your home! I really didn't know!
- Right? - Did you eat dinner?
- What about dinner? - I didn't eat.
- Then you're about to eat? - Yup. My daughter didn't eat either.
- Then can you ask your daughter if she'll eat with us? - Sure.
- Don't be burdened. We'll wait here. - Okay.
- I really didn't know. I didn't know and rang the doorbell. - I guess we'll get in!
It'd be incredible if we did.
This time the gate opened as well, but will their
second meeting turn this into the 101st house?
- If this doesn't work, then JTBC will be damaged. - No, I think we'll make it.
(Will her gut hit the mark?)
Earlier, my mouth was moist, but now it's dry.
I'm about to go mad. I'm so hungry.
- Come inside. - Thank you!
Did your daughter agree she'll eat with us?
- Come in first. - Thank you.
- We can't come in first. - Maybe we won't be able to get in this one either.
- She said she's shy. Jung-yi! - I'm not going to do it.
All right. That's fine. We can meet next time.
- No. - I'll drop by next time, ma'am.
- Hurry! Let's try the house next door. - Thank you, ma'am.
A mirage-like dinner in Hwangnam-dong that looks like it will take place but won't.
Hello. Did you not eat yet, ma'am?
(Is this the house...?)
(It's the house with the persimmon tree they rang the doorbell of earlier!)
- She's standing in front of the gate. - Ma'am!
- I'm sorry about earlier. - Ma'am!
Did you not recognize me earlier because you were flustered?
I recognized you, but I was just so bewildered.
- Really? I see. - Of course. So that's what happened.
The reason why I liked this house was because of this persimmon tree. Why?
You could've taken off all the persimmons, but you purposely left some.
You left it for the birds and other animals to eat them, right?
That, too, but my husband said it's too desolate if all the
leaves are gone, so he wanted to leave something on there.
- He's romantic. - Sentimental.
I couldn't handle this alone, so I told him to come.
- You didn't eat yet, right? - Right.
They say people who eat together are family.
Will you be our Hwangnam-dong, Gyeongju family today?
For the two people who went through all kinds of rise
and falls in the thousand-year-old city of Gyeongju,
will the warm woman become the owner of the 101st house?
- Will you be our family? - Yes.
Please grab this!
- Yes. - Please grab this!
You said you were going somewhere though!
I was alone without my husband, so I was shy.
This is nice! This is nice!
- Thank you! - I'm so grateful!
- Do you know the title of our show? - Yes, "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
- She knows the show. - Your husband?
Oh, you're here!
- It's nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you!
You're no joke, sir! We can do arm wrestling!
(Former champion's aggressive expression of affection)
You have tremendous energy! He's very strong, isn't he?
- Did you use to wrestle? - I did the new community movement.
(Just my style)
Why didn't you take off all the persimmons on the tree?
I wanted the people passing by to feel some sort of grace.
- You're very romantic. - Romanticist!
We have many persimmons here. Take some with you when you go home.
Oh, I bet they're delicious!
- Do you know who she is? - PD...
Yes, I have become a PD today.
PD, you need to leave. You can't be here.
- Only the cast can be here. - I'm actually a stylist.
- My job is to dress people up. - I see.
- I'm sorry for not recognizing you. - Oh, no. Thank you.
Did you eat dinner yet?
I just ended work, and you know how half-dried herring is popular in Pohang?
- Haf-dried herring! - We talked about that the entire day!
My friend is going to bring it. Make Gilgoo quiet.
- Is your dog's name Gilgoo? - Why is his name Gilgoo?
After this dog came to our house, my son became a police.
- My daughter had luck, too. - Many good things happened.
- So you have one son and one daughter. - Yes.
My son is a police officer, and my daughter graduated
from Busan University, and she's preparing for an exam.
- Do they live with you? - No. My daughter is in Busan, and my son is in Pohang.
- Let's go inside then. - Okay.
- Gilgoo. - Gilgoo, what's wrong?
They go into the dinner story of a romanticist
in Hwangnam-dong where Gilgoo greets them.
- This is your son. - Yes.
- Your son is older, and she's the younger sister, right? - Yes.
My daughter was a model on YouTube.
- Oh, my. - She was an advertisement model.
- She's not famous. - But still.
She's pretty. Goodness. She's pretty.
(Burst into laughter)
But your son is amazing. Look at this photo.
Doesn't he feel like her guardian? As if he's protecting her.
He always protected his sister.
He gives off this sturdy air. No wonder he became a policeman.
Ms. Kim, I'll help you. Does the table need to be wiped? I'll do that.
Hands of Midas Hye-yeon who makes stars shine makes the table shine.
Ms. Kim quickly sets up the side dishes that will make the table glamorous.
You're very quick.
- Do you eat oyster kimchi? - I love it! I can't eat it because I don't have it!
- I made kimchi yesterday. - Don't you usually make boiled pork with it?
I was busy, so I couldn't.
- You just made kimchi? - Yes.
(Oyster kimchi appears!)
The fresh oyster kimchi made yesterday is put on a plate in easy-to-eat slices.
Even the steaming rice is ready to eat.
I think rice just cooked is really delicious.
- May I go out for a bit? - Sure.
(The table is set.)
I will take a proof shot now.
(Mr. Kim is bringing something in both hands.)
- Half-dried herring. - His friend just brought it!
- Let's put it out. - Because we need to see it when we come to Pohang.
- Hye-yeon, you told me about the Pygmalion Effect earlier. - Right.
- That things work as you say. - Right.
We talked about half-dried herring earlier. It really does work as you say.
It happened.
I said I wanted to eat just made kimchi, and it's here now as well. How could this be?
As you say. As you say.
Half-dried herring that appeared as they said.
Pig feet salad delivered from a famous restaurant in Gyeongju.
Winter cabbage that will increase the flavor and texture of the half-dried herring.
This is half-dried herring.
Have you ever had Pohang's half-dried herring before?
- Never. - Really?
Is it really good?
I'll take the proof shot now.
Wow! It's a feast!
A delicious dinner in thousand-year-old city Hwangnam-dong, Gyeongju.
This dinner starts with fresh kimchi just made
yesterday along with delicious side dishes.
It's a gift-like dinner where there's half-dried herring
and pig feet salad delivered by Mr. Kim's friends.
Ready? Action1
Please eat.
- Our daughter is going to Seoul tomorrow. - For the third test?
Yes.
I hope it goes well.
(Her gaze is fixed on the food.)
Is Dong-yi coming today? You should give him a call.
Not today. He won't call.
We can't do this. We're too hungry.
I was nervous doing that!
- We can't stand it because we're hungry! - Have a seat.
(They hurry up and sit down.)
- Excuse me, but we'll eat now. - Please do.
- The way you eat half-dried herring is... - Please teach me. It's my first time.
- Take this. - Okay. Take this.
- Put dried seaweed on top. - Dried seaweed.
There's going to be a lot. You just need to eat the first part.
- Put seaweed on top. - Then half-dried herring and red chili-pepper paste.
- You can eat it like that. - You can put in whatever else you want.
- Put pepper in here? - Yes.
(She's done making a half-herring wrap.)
I have to put this in there, too?
- This is the first half-dried herring in her life. - Really?
- Yes. - She never ate it before.
- Just eat that. - Okay.
- My goodness. - It will be delicious.
She has many first experiences today.
It's her first time coming to Gyeongju, and
it's her first time eating half-dried herring.
- It's so good! - It is.
- It's addicting. You can't not eat it during winter. - Same here.
Oh, my. It's so good.
People in Pohang and Gyeongju eat many grams of half-dried herring in winter.
Same in Seoul.
In the past, Seoul residents didn't really eat
half-dried herring, but now they eat it very well.
(Limitless cabbage refill)
- Thank you. Please eat. - Eat.
- She made this yesterday? - It's so good.
- It's so good. - I'm going to put this on top. This is a live eating show.
I'm going to wrap it like this.
It will fit, won't it?
I'm the champion!
Oh my word!
With the start of a live eating show,
Ho-dong also shows an acrobatic-like eating show today.
Hye-yeon lost her soul to her first half-dried
herring she learned about later in life.
Mr. Kim, who is addicted to half-dried herring,
is busy making half-dried herring wraps.
Ms. Kim's hands are busy taking care of the family.
If I put everything in here, will it taste weird?
If I put half-dried herring, pig feet, and kimchi in here?
- Try it. - I'll show you an eating show. I'll put this on top.
I'm going to put half-dried herring on here.
(Two pieces of half-dried herring)
I'm going to put kimchi on here as well.
I need to put Korean lettuce on here, too.
- Will that fit? - You don't think it will?
If you worry about whether it will fit or not, you won't be able to eat it.
- Really? - You just need to eat it. You can't have any fears.
No countdown. You just need to put it in.
(He just puts it in his mouth!)
I don't think he'll be able to chew it. What will he do?
- I don't want to see it. - I told you it wouldn't fit!
Let me take one photo.
(Even when he's suffering he checks the photo.)
What will you do?
(Look at this.)
Is she your daughter? My goodness! She's beautiful!
(Their daughter boasts of a beauty that made her able to model.)
- Does she come home often? - She's preparing for her exam.
She passed the second test, but she has to take the third one.
She's taking the third test to be the manager.
- What is her area of interest? - The administration department of a mall.
Oh, really?
Then I guess it'd be great if she knew more about fashion.
- She majored in fashion. - She did?
Oh my goodness!
- Give her a good tip later. - I know. I can give her many.
- Okay. - Are you both from Gyeongju?
She's from Tongyeong.
- Gyeongju is my hometown. - I see.
- In Chungmu. - A little bit before Chungmu. Gosung.
- Gosung. - Yes.
- But why did you come? - To Hwangnam-dong?
Yes.
Before here, we didn't have a house, and this is the first house we bought.
My goodness. How do you like living here? Is it nice?
It's quiet.
There aren't many young people in this neighborhood.
During the weekends, the young people gather at Hwangnidangil.
There are only older people here.
This place is really close to Hwangnidangil.
Fortunately, thanks to that, there are many young people here.
So the streets became younger, which is nice.
My friends in Seoul come to Hwangnidangil often because it's so famous.
Sometimes, on the weekends, there are cars parked in front of my house, too.
- That's how many cars there are? - There are many cars here.
They park all around this neighborhood.
If one area becomes too much of a tourist spot,
there will be too many people.
I thought the residents will feel uncomfortable because it might be noisy.
They came to our neighborhood. We need to deal with it.
You're very generous.
Since the housing price will go up.
That's right! How did you know his true feelings?
He said that before!
On my way here, I realized Hwangnidangil has become a main
street and there are many young people and tourists as well.
- There are many of them. - On Fridays and Saturdays, there are so many people.
- It gets busy, right? - Yes.
After the earthquake, there weren't many tourists, and the roads were quiet.
There have been more than 420 after shocks in Gyeongju.
Shocked residents on the streets due to the
strong shaking was witnessed from different places.
It was becoming okay, but there was another earthquake.
So we're worried.
- That's why we came. - Exactly. Please tell everyone it's okay.
That there's no problem at all.
- That's why you came to Gyeongju for the 100th house. - Right.
You chose the right place.
How did you come to move here and build a house?
My husband got married early to me and suffered a lot.
You know how men want to build houses and grill barbeque outside, right?
We have many visitors, so he wanted to build a house rather than buy an apartment.
We were looking for land, and this neighborhood was quiet and nice.
So we bought this land five years ago.
We gathered money and were able to build this house.
- Five years ago? - Yes.
You didn't construct it yourself?
My husband works with constructing gas pipes.
So he knows many people in the industry.
They helped us a lot, so we were able to smoothly build the house.
- There was an earthquake in Gyeongju not too long ago. - Yes.
We were scared. It happened in Pohang as well.
- We really thought a lot about if we should build this or not. - Really?
Because of the earthquake, you must have spent
- more money constructing the house. - Yes.
We put more concrete in it as well.
We really spent more money on it.
Did the earthquake in Pohang affect this place, too?
Yes. Other places were severe, but maybe it's because we
built this house strongly, but the noise was just severe.
- Really? - You know how they send you an earthquake
text. We went outside, and it was more severe elsewhere.
Maybe we did build this house well after all.
The roof is made of traditional Korean house style.
The neighborhood is of traditional Korean houses.
We had to have a tile-roofed house.
We built it loft style with two floors.
- Your daughters stay upstairs? - Yes, the second floor.
(Her two daughters live on the 2nd floor.)
I heard the city pays for 50% of your roof if you make it Korean style.
It's different. It varies from house to house and neighborhood to neighborhood.
If you make your interior Korean style, then you receive more support.
It's all different.
Since your mom got married early, don't you want to get married early?
No. I just want to live here.
- Why? - If you get married, you have to cook.
That's right. I cook everything for her.
(20-year-old girl still likes to be by her mom's side.)
- You live with your mom, too. - Yes, I live with my family, too.
Then you must be happy.
- Maybe you're not. - There are more happy things...
- There are times when you're uncomfortable, right? - Yes.
But as time goes on, you start to feel this way.
It makes me realize that if I was going to move out, I should've done it sooner.
- My mom is aging... - And you witness that.
Yes. So I can't move out now.
Don't you want to get married?
Marry...?
I'm sincerely thinking about marriage these days.
It's not because I have someone.
I'm at the age to sincerely consider marriage.
- I feel like I do need my own family. - Right.
- Aren't you an old bachelor? - Yes.
- He needs to get married. - Right? You're 30...
- I'm 37. - He's old.
You're one year older than me. You were born in 1981, right?
- Yes, he is. - Yes.
You guys are similar in age? What do you think about this kind of style?
Great.
(While the youth's sudden love line is blossoming...)
Love story between Gyeongju and Gosung.
This is the best segment of our show.
We heard all kinds of love stories in South Korea.
So how did you meet your wife who lives in Tongyeong?
The distance between Tongyeong and Gyeongju isn't close. They're far apart.
We first met in Busan. We lived there for a while and then moved here.
Did you meet at Haeundae? Or through a blind date? Or at work?
- We met at work in Busan. - You guys met at the same work as colleagues?
Yes, we met at work.
We were at work, and she caught my eye.
What did you like so much about her?
Just...
- Why can't you speak? - Thinking about it now, I think I saw the wrong thing.
- Oh my goodness! - Oh my god!
(He's saying useless words because he's embarrassed.)
I'm kidding.
Did you fall in love with her at first sight?
She was pretty when she was young.
- She's still a beauty now. - She's beautiful.
When men are asked this question,
they don't know how to express that heart-fluttering moment.
- Men find that difficult. - To express your feelings.
- Right. - I think it's a difficult thing to do.
Did you ask her out first?
I don't really remember...
He asked me out first at work.
To go eat dinner?
(The talk about the past is embarrassing when thinking about it now.)
- So in Busan... - We met in Busan while we were working.
We registered for marriage in 1988.
We actually have the same surname and same family origin.
- We have the same surname and same family origin. - Forest of secrets.
During the 1988 Olympics,
for one year, they gave couples of the same surname
and same family of origin a chance to get married.
- Temporarily? - Right.
I want to marry Sun-woo.
I hope you can give me permission.
You guys have the same surname and same family or origin.
If you two get married, you won't end up as spouses on paper but as cohabitants!
Wow! This is a drama!
We were able to do that in 1988.
Back then, even if you had children, you had to
have them as cohabitants instead of spouses.
- Oh, my. - Then they all registered as married couples in 1988.
We registered for marriage on December 28 with 3 days left in the year.
So we went through a rough time to register our marriage.
In 1988, there was a special marriage law,
and many couples with the same name from the same family origin who
couldn't register for marriage could be acknowledged by the law.
When did you find out your guys had the same
name and were from the same family origin?
At first, he lied to me.
He didn't say he was a Kim from the Kim family.
I found out after we got closer.
Back then, I felt like I couldn't lose her, so I lied.
I didn't tell her we had the same surname and same family origin.
- You said you were a different Kim. - Yes.
Oh my word.
Then you liked her way more!
I have no idea why I did that back then...
Then does that mean the day you registered for marriage is your wedding anniversary?
- Well, that... - No.
We were living together before then.
You guys were already living together without having a wedding?
Lived together first. Then registered for marriage.
- Who was the one in a rush. - Not me. She kept begging me to register our marriage.
- Why? - No! He's lying!
- Oh, Mr. Kim! - Why are you lying?
Didn't you want to rush, Mr. Kim?
Well, I went to her family's house to get permission...
my father-in-law was heavily against it.
He said we would be considered relatives in the old days.
He said this could never happen.
- I was kneeling on the ground for two hours, but he said no. - Oh, no.
- When you kneel for a long time, your blood doesn't circulate. - Right.
- I fell over back then. - Oh, dear.
- I told him, "I'm just going to leave" and I came out that night. - Oh, wow.
- But they followed me. - Your father-in-law?
- I followed him. - Her sisters followed me out.
I guess they thought they couldn't lose me.
He quietly expresses his confidence.
Don't believe everything he says.
It's a nerve-racking moment when the man goes to ask permission for marriage.
You also have an obstacle.
The result wasn't great, but he also fell, you know?
How mortified you must have been.
I was kneeling for two hours.
It wasn't my first time seeing her family.
My wife and I were already living together anyways.
I was like "Whatever" and just came home.
- Really? - You two were already...?
Her father probably didn't know, but you two were already living together in Busan.
- I was like "whatever." - You have guts. You were like, "Then I don't care."
- You were going to take responsibility of her until the end, right?- Of course.
That was a wonderful conclusion.
Then when did you guys have a wedding?
(Dim memory)
(They had a wedding after their son was born.)
It was around 1991 or 1992.
- You guys registered for marriage in 1988, so the wedding was far after that. - Yes.
We had to register for marriage during that year.
You guys lived together first. Then registered
for marriage. Then had a wedding later on.
You were very progressive.
The two people who overcame their obstacle
together and confidently became a married couple
came to fulfill a harmonious family with a reliable son and beautiful daughter.
Does your son call often?
- He does. He comes home twice a week as well. - Since he's nearby.
There was an earthquake in Pohang not too long ago.
- He volunteered on the weekends. - I see.
He was having a hard time, but it's his duty.
- Call your daughter, so she can talk to Hye-yeon. - Yes.
(Calling their daughter)
Oh, hello!
She's pretty!
- You're working as an advertisement model, right? - Oh, no!
My dad must have said something weird again.
- Do you know the stylist Han Hye-yeon? - Oh, my!
I came here as a guest!
- Oh my gosh! - Hi, baby!
- So how...? - I'm your fan!
Thank you.
I have my interview next week. Can you give me some energy?
Here. Give her a good word.
You can take all my luck. Good, right?
I'll let you borrow all of it!
Get the job! Let's get it! Swag!
(Very happy)
- Thank you. - Have a good time.
You have to say three compliments about your wife.
You also have to make three compliments about your husband.
I don't think there's anything she can compliment me about.
Thee is. You can compliment her first.
She's good at everything.
If I have to compliment her about anything, she's better at anything than anyone.
I wish she can be healthy, but...
I have to be better to her from now on.
You can compliment your husband.
Compliment? What can I compliment about him?
There's nothing. If there's nothing, don't do it.
He's always sturdy and reliable.
He can also be sweet.
I don't really express such things.
He's also good-looking.
(Smiles brightly)
(Good-looking is the best!)
- I love you. - Me, too.
Don't do that whenever you come home after drinking.
Don't do what after he drinks?
I want him to say "I love you" when he's sober and not drunk.
(Embarrassed)
So he does express his love.
- Christmas is coming soon, right? - Yes.
Let's get in the Christmas spirit and have a party to celebrate the 100th house.
A small party to celebrate Christmas and the birth of the 100th house takes place.
(Congratulations!)
- Look how happy she is. - Happy New Year!
(Awesome)
This is my Christmas gift.
(Ah-joong personally prepared these gifts.)
The one who mostly benefited from the Christmas presents
is enjoying the sweetest time of her three-year-old life.
After the party, it's time to wash the dishes.
We met for the first time today.
But it felt like we knew each other, so I was happy.
You made me very comfortable.
- I'll do it, Kyung-kyu. - No, if you scrub them and give them to me, I'll rinse them.
- Do you wash dishes often? - Yes, I do.
(Just then, a visitor comes to the house?)
- She's my niece. - This is my house.
- She's your niece? - You must be the eldest sister, right?
Oh, the oldest sister! Welcome!
She's the oldest daughter. I was surprised.
(Ah-joong is skillfully washing the dishes.)
- You're good at washing the dishes. - I do it from time to time.
- I prepared this doorplate for you guys. - Thank you.
The doorplate is... Wow...
("100th house that gave dinner")
100th house!
Let's give a round of applause.
This is the 100th house of the show, everyone!
(They take a commemorative photo to remember the dinner.)
As they promise the 1000th home in the thousand-year-old
city of Gyeongju, homes 100 and 101 have been born.
Also, the rice to commemorate the 100th house has become someone's warm meal.
Good luck, "Let's Eat Dinner Together!"
Merry Christmas!
(Heart)
Thank you for coming to our house.
Please come to Gyeongju often!
- "Let's Eat Dinner Together..." - Way to go!
(Their son)
(2017's final "Let's Eat Dinner Together")
(To self-examine themselves...)
(a repentance episode has been prepared!!!)
- Lord! - Lord!
- Dear Lord. - We just came to pray...
(What the heck?)
- Hello. - I'm Jun-ho.
(Ahn Nae-sang and Lee Jun-ho)
I think you have a lot to repent for.
I wonder if I hogged all the communication.
I think I should share it with Kyung-kyu.
We have no time to repent! Please let us eat dinner tonight!
"Have dinner at Suseo-dong." Let's go.
(They go to examine Suseo-dong.)
I guess there's a temple here.
Didn't we just come out of church?
- I suddenly want to do 108 bows. - That shocked me.
- Jun-ho, there's a cathedral. - There are cathedrals and temples here.
It's not easy to have all of this in Seoul.
I feel like we're filming a fantasy variety show.
The Jeonju Lee clan lived here.
There are about 700 graves.
I had no idea such a place existed.
You confessed your own sins!
You, who don't search for your ancestors!
(Will the descendent of Jeonju Lee clan get dinner?)
- Is this a Lee family? - Let's try it.
- Which Lee are you from? - Jeonju Lee.
- Us, too! - We have no food.
Oh, dear!
I'm actor Ahn Nae-sang.
- Oh, yes! - You know me, right?
- Yes! - Thank you.
I'm not in a situation where I can go out.
You don't have to come out. We'll just come in.
I'm 2PM's Lee Jun-ho.
"10 out of 10!"
"Listen to my heartbeat. It's beating for you!"
Us, Jeonju Lees, aren't looking so hot right now.
- Let's pay our respects here. - I'm sorry for not recognizing you earlier.
Please help us, ancestor.
("Let's Eat Dinner Together"/Wednesday 11 p.m.)
(Kyung-kyu & Ah-joong are about to leave.)
- I don't know when my brother went out and bought this. - I know.
- Is it really okay for you to give this to us? Isn't this valuable? - No.
- We'll be going now. - Good-bye!
- Bye. - It's so sad...
I know.
- Wow. - My heart became really warm...
- It feels strange. - It's touching.
- Yes! - When you say bye.
They have their own stories.
I know. It was so nice.
- Merry Christmas! - Merry Christmas!
Jump! One, two, three!
(Jump!)
- 100th house! - Hurray for the 100th house!
Will you eat a dinner with us that will stay in history?
