(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.)
What a view.
Are we in Sungbukdong?
We're really high up.
I can see the whole city.
Look over there.
Sungbukdong...
Is a museum without a roof.
A lot of...
Artists live here.
A poet, a monk and a fighter
for independence,
Man Hae Han Yong-un...
Lived out his life here
in Simwoojang.
Your Silence?
Exactly.
She may have left...
But I haven't let her go yet.
That's the last part.
(Walking on the street)
(where Man Hae has walked...)
Ho-dong.
This is Simwoojang.
What does Simwoojang mean?
It means...
Raising cows in my heart.
Okay...
And having an epiphany through it.
(Where Han Yong-un raised cows...)
(Girls doing yoga?)
This is where he studied Buddhism.
If we shoot our opening longer,
their backs would break.
(I'm tired...)
People laugh when they're tired.
Look how they're laughing.
I have no idea who they are.
They're struggling...
Can they walk around for the whole day?
(Almost falls.)
A singer or an actress?
Their flexibility suggests actresses.
They're a bit like Lee Yoon-seok.
(Reminiscent of Lee Yoon-seok.)
One, two, three!
Hi!
(Female Lee Yoon-seok, U-ee!)
She's my little sister!
Who is she?
Seriously?
(Still hasn't changed.)
No way!
We even went out for drinks...
I know!
She's my little sister!
From a girl group
to a romantic comedy goddess
and a queen of tears.
She's become a great actress.
U-ee.
U-ee's U is...
Oh that's my name.
(Accidentally slipped her name.)
Hi, I'm U-ee.
U-hee!
(Still doesn't know...)
It's not U-hee?
(No?)
What's her name?
U-hee?
U-ee?
U-hee!
Ee as in 2?
No.
Hee.
U-hee?
I got confused.
(U-ee.)
We still have one more guest.
Wait.
One, two, three!
Hi!
(Has no clue who she is.)
(Awkward.)
He has no idea...
This is crazy...
I'm going to Simwoojang...
(Kyung-Kyu runs away.)
We shouldn't have come!
Do you remember who I am?
She can act is any genres.
She's also showed her talents
in variety shows.
Lim Soo-hyang.
(Five Children. 32.8%.)
(New Tales of Gisaeng. 28.3%.)
(Ojakgyo Family 36.3%.) (Marriage Contract. 22.9%.)
(Queen of ratings.)
They came today to get a meal.
I didn't know you guys were friends!
We worked in a same TV show for 1 week!
We went to the Shaolin Temple.
What do you know about Sungbukdong?
I came here a lot to shoot in fancy houses.
You're right.
I shot a drama called
New Tales of Gisaeng here.
It was in Samchunggak.
It's right over there.
That place even holds state dinners.
Let's have U-ee read our mission today.
Have dinner in Sungbukdong.
In Sungbukdong.
What's all this?
Have you ever seen this before?
A car key?
Are we driving today?
This area is really mountainous.
So talk inside the car?
Nice!
I can go anywhere in a car!
(Loves the idea of having a car.)
(Seoul, Sungbuk-gu, Sungbukdong.)
It got its name from being
on the north side of the castle.
Artists and writers such as
Han Yong-un and Jo Ji-hoon
have lived or live here.
It's known as the roofless museum.
Can they find a meal
in a city full of stories?
Let's Have Dinner Together episode 67.
Sungbukdong's Pigeon.
This place has a weird vibe.
Doesn't it look really old?
This is so steep.
We're practically climbing a mountain.
Wasn't it built with cement
on a mountainside?
And build houses.
They still use briquettes!
I guess so.
What's that?
Briquette boilers.
You guys haven't inhaled briquette gas
right?
Nope.
Why would you?
People don't do it on purpose.
That's not what I meant!
Why would we inhale gas?
I was surprised too!
Sometimes it leaked
when something went wrong.
Exactly.
Every house had white kimchi
because it was good for detoxing
gas from briquettes.
(Old memories from briquettes.)
Pigeons!
It is!
Pigeons!
(Sungbukdong's Pigeons by Kim Kwang-sub.)
(It contains Sungbukdong's history.)
When Korea was modernized in 1960s,
a lot of people were relocated
due to development of cities.
It's about the pain caused by
leaving their homes.
A bird of love and peace, pigeon...
Enjoyed peach as humans did.
But it has lost its mountains
and its people.
It has stopped being a symbol
of love and peace.
When the poem was written,
with the opening of Bugak Mountain Road,
Sungbukdong has gone through
a rapid modernization.
Let's go to Samchunggak!
(Soo-hyang is today's driver.)
Bugak Sky...?
Bugak Sky Way.
(This road...)
(Follows Mt. Bukak and oversees)
(the entire Seoul.)
(Seoul's sky road, Bugak Sky Way.)
You know that show
that interviews the guests
who are sitting on the back of a car?
Taxi?
Should we try it?
(U-ee and Soo-hyang's Taxi.)
(Excited by the cheers.)
Ho-dong...
Has been a king of ratings these days.
Kang's Restaurant, New Journey to the West.
They were all crazy!
New Journey to the West...
Versus Let's Have Dinner Together!
What if both of their shoots were
on a same day?
What if you had to quit one?
That extreme?
Let's be tough on him.
Okay then.
Then Producer Na Young-seok vs...?
PD Bang or PD Na?
I made up my mind!
I choose PD Bang.
(Surprised.)
So you'll leave Na Young-seok?
You don't need him?
No more shows with him.
Even if he casts you?
Kang Ho-dong admits he doesn't need
Na Young-seok.
Ask me why!
But I don't really care about that.
You can't finish it here!
That's it for now.
(Satisfied.)
(Today's second guest.)
City Fishermen is really popular!
City Fishermen vs...
Let's Have Dinner Together.
You have to quit one!
I'm sticking with City Fishermen.
I'm doing City Fishermen.
Really?
And quit this show?
Yes.
After getting everything from this show,
you're just going to leave?
You're going to the up and coming show?
This is so fun!
(Completely fell for the trick.)
I'm not leaving this show!
You like fish more than people?
It's not like that!
Fishing is just more fun than this!
Let us sum this up.
Let's Have Dinner Together
cannot not exist without you two.
What?
(Mass confusion.)
Being a MC is difficult!
(After a short drive with future MCs...)
Is this Samchunggak?
When the painful taxi ride was over,
they arrived at Samchunggak.
I had a shoot here!
It's so pretty!
Isn't it beautiful?
(A traditional building in the city.)
Samchunggak is...
Why haven't I been here?
It used to be a fancy restaurant.
When I was shooting
New Tales of Gisaeng,
this is where we worked.
It's where South and North Korea
made the July 4th Joint Declaration!
(Samchunggak and Daewongak)
(were famous upscale restaurants in 1970s.)
(After failing as a restaurant,)
(Samchunggak began hosting)
(important summits,)
(and Daewongak became a temple.)
(A site that used to be the center)
(of backdoor politics transformed)
(into important historic sites.)
(It's the ironic history of Sungbukdong.)
U-ee, which character do you
remember the most?
I played baby's mother once...
My character was sick.
Marriage Contract!
Yup.
(U-ee played a mom in Marriage Contract.)
(Her character had a brain tumor.)
When it finished...
I really struggled for about 2 months.
I couldn't get out of that character.
You couldn't?
I hated being away
from my daughter from the drama.
Because my character was sick...
I lost a lot of weight.
She really thought she was
that kid's mother!
That's like me in this show every week!
It's hard to stop seeing the families..
After becoming a part of them.
I still remember last week's family.
That's why you're a great MC!
When I ring doorbells I think...
When am I going fishing?
You love that show too much!
(Only thinks about fishing...)
Look at that tree.
This is an embassy!
Jordan!
Why is it called the Embassy Street?
There are a lot of embassies here.
With Mt. Bukhan as the background,
Sungbukdong is a beautiful town.
It naturally became a home for rich people.
Embassy Street is surrounded by embassies
and big houses.
They create a city wall of their own.
There are a lot of ambassadors...
Living here...
Look at this house!
It as its own playground!
Unbelievable.
That's a house?
It's a park.
It's a house!
It's a park.
It's as big as a park.
It's huge.
This is what Sungbukdong reminds me of.
Walls are so high here...
Can we succeed today?
And they all have big dogs.
Guard dogs...
I didn't know it'd be like this...
Aren't the walls really high?
Will people open their doors for us?
Let's just go for it!
We're just looking around!
This really is the Embassy Street.
There's an embassy over there.
Hi.
Is this an embassy?
Yes.
Is that a house?
Yes.
A house?
Yes.
Do you know Let's Have Dinner Together?
I watch the show.
Do you think we'll succeed today?
But a lot of houses will be empty...
For dinner time.
A lot of people eat out.
Not a lot of people eat at home.
Thank you!
(Thanks for the Intel...)
This is the embassy.
Hi.
From Oman?
Do you know Let's Have Dinner Together?
Sorry?
Let's Have Dinner Together.
(Only recently came to Korea.)
Don't we play soccer against them a lot?
(Past the Oman embassy...)
Other towns had soju bottles...
But champagne!
(Empty champagne bottles.)
(Different to other towns.)
I haven't seen an empty
champagne bottles in the open like that.
A foreigner!
I'm really nervous here.
Things aren't looking good.
I've got a bad feeling about this...
I know...
There are more houses down there!
Does it have a different vibe?
Yes!
We're at the bottom part of Sungbukdong.
We were pretty high up.
This place has a different vibe.
I know.
It looks as different as the terrain does!
So cool.
Why don't we go inside?
Real estate?
Luxury homes.
Anonymity guaranteed!
Real estate is in market price only.
So negotiation is really important!
Nice to meet you.
Happy new year.
They're both actors.
This is U-ee.
We bought houses for Go Su
and Shin Hyeon-jun.
Really?
(Immediately drops some names...)
But it said anonymity guaranteed!
Please edit this out...
I think that phrase
real estate is in market price only
is hilarious.
Sungbukdong doesn't have a set price.
A lot of CEOs live here.
Bae Yong-joon is a famous resident here.
(Another name drop...?)
Shin Dong-yeop lived here for a long time
as well.
Didn't he move?
He used to live here.
LG, Doosan and Hyundai's owners live here.
Anonymity is not guaranteed!
That's how good...
This town is.
Everything he said was revealed
by the press already.
(You can trust me.)
What do you mean by market price?
Most condos have set pricing.
But Sungbukdong...
Is judged by its lot.
And some lots don't have a set price.
When you say lot...
Do you mean having a good vibe?
Exactly.
Does it have a good feng shui?
The best.
It's known to be quiet too.
There are 41 embassies here.
Really?
Having a lot of embassies here prove
that this is a great town to live in.
Anyways...
Do you have a reservation for dinner?
A reservation?
You'll have a tough day today.
We don't...
Our show doesn't allow reservations.
That was so funny!
We have a reservation with Sungbukdong.
You'll have a tough time today...
I know...
This office is missing something.
It doesn't have a map.
Why don't you have one?
This is...
Our map.
It's a map of Sungbukdong.
We use this for briefings.
Where are we right now?
This is where we are right now.
Sungbukdong's...
Kyobo area is the most expensive area here.
It's behind Samchunggak.
We were just there!
(Luxury homes behind Samchunggak.)
There are so many embassies!
Yes.
(There are a total of 41 embassies)
(on the Embassy Street.)
South Africa!
How's the atmosphere like down here?
Most people here are natives.
(There are more houses and shops)
(on the bottom of the mountain.)
Sungbukdong has one of the best feng shui
in Seoul.
With luxury houses on the side of Mt. Bugak
condos and apartments can be found
on the foot of the mountain.
There are a lot of variety of houses here.
So what did you think about the town?
I don't think we'll succeed today.
The walls are so high!
The walls we saw were really high...
Ho-dong, look.
Is that what our future looks like?
How are we gonna climb that?
It's unreachable...
I agree with U-ee...
Miracles happen after 7:30.
You guys should team up together because
you guys haven't work together before.
She's my little sister.
My athletics sister.
I'm okay with that.
Do you know who I am?
(Confused by her positivity.)
She's actually a bit of a headache too...
I already heard she's crazy.
Let's go then.
Please...
Let's Have Dinner Together!
Sungbukdong's night is lit up
by the lights from the city wall.
Should we get going?
It's freezing now that sun's down!
It's really cold.
How about this house?
(A house with high walls.)
Just go for it!
We're seriously just gonna go for it?
I'm really nervous.
I know!
Look at the door...
(Arrived at today's first house)
Ask if they ate, if they didn't,
ask if you can join them.
Where's the bell?
(What is it?)
It said call the security first.
Before ringing?
(Please call this number)
(before ringing the bell.)
(I guess that's a no...)
It had a notice...
(Found a second home.)
Who's first?
Ladies first.
They're both ladies.
I'm a lady too.
(Doesn't know what to do.)
Soo-hyang.
You can do it.
Show your face.
Calm down.
(Tries to calm down.)
Who is it?
Hi.
My name is Lim Soo-hyang, an actress.
Do you know who I am?
What's going on?
We're from a TV station.
It's about having dinner together
and talk about all sorts of things.
And eat dinner...
We're all old...
There's nothing to talk about.
There's no need to feel pressure!
(Satisfied.)
If you didn't eat yet...
(Doesn't give up easily.)
Would you like to be our family for today?
Thank you for the offer.
Okay.
We can't.
Got it.
Thank you!
(Happy with the first attempt.)
You're pretty stubborn.
She...
Wasn't interested
but you kept pushing it.
I thought to myself...
She's like a pit bull.
She doesn't let things go!
She pushes until the end!
(Kyung-Kyu loves it!)
(Ho-dong's team's turn.)
(A house with really high walls.)
The doorbell is normal at least.
Lights are on.
This is a familiar bell.
Lights are on.
This gate is at least 40 meters away
from the house.
About 40 or 50 meters.
We can handle it.
(Ho-dong's team's first attempt.)
(Totally nervous.)
(The gate opened?)
Hello?
Ma'am?
Hi.
Can you see me?
I just opened the gate!
Do you know who I am?
Yes.
You do?
(She knows U-ee?)
Ma'am...
Why did you...
Wait!
What?
(Everyone's confused.)
Did she think you're a tutor?
(What happened...?)
She's coming out!
(So they decided to wait.)
I have goosebumps.
It's a long walk...
I told you!
(The light is on!)
Is she coming?
I thought we wouldn't succeed today...
What's going on?
Ma'am!
Hi!
Do you know U-ee?
Sorry?
Do you recognize my voice?
(Checks who they are from inside.)
She closed the gate again...
(I knew it.)
(She thought they were someone else.)
She thought U-ee was a tutor.
Should we leave?
Yes...
Okay.
(We'll get going then...)
She didn't know it was TV.
Then all these cameras
made her uncomfortable.
Am I the only one who thinks
this whole place is black?
There aren't that many street lights.
I heard people might not be home.
I remember.
A lot of people eat before coming home.
What's that?
Is that a house?
Soo-hyang.
Me?
But this is...
Soo-hyang!
Be confident!
Listen to the other person
and take it slow.
It came from over there!
Was that a Dolby system?
(First time hearing surround sound)
(doorbell.)
(Rings again.)
Doesn't that sound like a school bell?
It does sound like a school bell.
I don't think anyone's home.
That was legendary...
Call Mr. Kim, our security
if you need anything.
(Wants to call Mr. Kim now.)
What's that letter?
I haven't seen that before.
This house has romance.
(Getting a good vibe from this house.)
(U-ee gives it a go.)
Hello?
Ma'am...
Did you eat yet?
Who is it?
I'm...
U-ee.
Ma'am!
(Saw Ho-dong's face.)
I know what TV show you're doing.
I don't live here
and the owner isn't home.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful evening.
Thank you!
Not a lot of people are home right now.
We might all go to the convenience store.
Don't jinx it.
I saw a foreigner in that house...
When we came here earlier.
(Found empty champagne bottles.)
Can you speak English?
I don't speak English...
Should I still try it?
(Goes with confidence.)
Look at her confidence.
Yes?
Hi.
Hello?
(Confidence immediately disappeared.)
This is Let's Have Dinner Together.
(Help me.)
(Mumbles.)
(The language barrier was higher)
(than the wall.)
(English lesson commercial model)
(bravely goes for it.)
(She knows JTBC!)
(Failed.)
(At least they know how to say bye.)
(Proud...)
After a while like this...
Some people say, come in!
I'm gonna cry if that happens!
You could find yourself
sitting on a table.
You'll find yourself eating at one point!
Isn't there an aura around that house?
U-ee!
That gate...
Has an aura!
(Is that a welcoming light?)
Which one's the bell?
Ring both.
Let's go for the newer one on the right.
Maybe the left one's broken.
I love that sound!
Who is it?
Someone picked up!
Hi!
My name is U-ee.
Do you know who I am?
No.
You don't?
(Calls Ho-dong for help.)
Hi, I'm Kang Ho-dong.
Do you recognize me?
Yes!
(A very well known figure.)
She's U-ee...
From After School!
I don't know her.
(If you don't know me...)
Do you like baseball?
Of course.
Do you know Kim Sung-gab?
He's my father.
(Unexpectedly used his father.)
You know Kim Sung-gab coach?
Yes.
She's his daughter!
That's crazy.
Which team do you like?
Doosan.
That's okay!
We like Doosan too!
(Sure...)
Did you eat dinner yet?
I'm getting ready for it.
Getting ready?
We're a show about having dinner together
and talk about all sorts of things!
Let's Have Dinner Together!
I know what it is.
That's what we're doing!
Could this be our last question of the day?
Would you like to eat with us today?
Dinner here seemed like
it was surrounded by walls too high.
Can she use her father
to get a meal here?
Would you like to eat with us today?
Dinner here seemed like
it was surrounded by walls too high.
Can she use her father
to get a meal here?
Come in.
What?
Come in.
What?
He told us to come in!
(The gate opens.)
(Ecstatic.)
Soo-hyang!
What does your father do?
He's in Busan...
He doesn't play soccer or baseball?
(Loving U-ee's dad.)
Kim Sung-gab is my father!
Kim Sung-gab!
I like Doosan now!
Calm down.
You don't know what will happen yet.
He's coming out!
Sir!
Hi.
Hi, nice to meet you.
(Shake's Kyu-dong's hands first.)
I like Kyung-Kyu more.
We'll do our best!
I'm Lim Soo-hyang, an actress.
She used to be a famous idol.
My kid might know her then.
Were you sad about Doosan
coming second last year?
Doosan CEO's my brother.
Really?
Are you letting them eat with you?
Come in!
We have to go somewhere else...
(Disappointed.)
What's wrong in City Fishermen?
You can't catch anything...
I went to Jeju to catch yellow tail
and I couldn't catch any.
(We'd have lots to talk about...)
See you next week.
Soo-hyang, I'll call you!
(Enjoy your meal.)
See you next week!
(Good luck finding another meal!)
Let's go inside.
Just like that?
Unbelievable.
Soo-hyang...
Unbelievable.
I'm exhausted...
They found dinner with some help
from U-ee's father...
Who live here?
Me, my kid...
He's in 7th grade.
Then he might like me!
My oldest kid is in Yeosu.
(Including his wife, a total of 4 people.)
Can I look around your yard?
Come around this way.
Let's go that way.
It's incredible!
Don't be too surprised.
This is like a house from TV shows!
(A hidden space revealed itself.)
With lit up walls...
And beautiful views of the city
can be seen from this big yard.
Sir.
I didn't see this yard
from the front gate.
It's huge!
That's the Seoul City Wall.
So we're actually pretty high up right now?
Is this town colder in winters?
That magnolia tree
blossoms about 10 days after
the other trees blossom down there.
Because it's colder here.
You get to see this view every night?
I guess so.
You do seem familiar.
See?
Don't I look familiar?
Her dad is Kim Sung-gab...
Which team was he in again?
From Taepyungyang, Nexen,
now he's in SK.
She's his daughter.
Your brother's Doosan's CEO?
Yes.
We're really close.
He's not your real brother?
Just a close friend?
I don't have any brothers.
I only have older sisters.
(He has 5 older sisters.)
Who was cooking just now?
I was.
I was grilling and making kimchi stew.
Where's your wife?
She's teaching our kid right now.
So you were cooking and not her?
That's so cool!
Men who cook are sexy.
(Sexy cook in Sungbukdong.)
(Let's check out what he made!)
His wife might know you.
I do now as well.
Which meal will be waiting
in a house with a warm interior?
Hi!
Do you know who she is?
She's U-ee.
I saw her on TV.
Can I take off my coat?
Sure.
(Saw some cute paintings.)
Did your kid paint this?
When he was in elementary school?
Yes.
Jung-won.
Where is he?
Where's Jung-won?
Park Jung-won!
Where is he?
Hi!
Say hi.
(Always does that to kids...)
What's her name?
(I have no idea...)
He doesn't know me...
Have you seen me before?
(Nope.)
You don't watch TV?
He doesn't watch a lot of TV.
Do you know After School?
(Famous for sexy choreography!)
(After School.)
(Do you know After School...?)
No...
He might like me!
(7th graders don't know who she is...)
Who's your favorite idol?
I don't have one.
You don't like idols?
Let's take a seat.
Calm down U-ee.
Let's sit down.
What's my name?
Kang Ho-dong.
How did you know?
I heard about you a lot.
Do you know this show's title?
One Bite?
It's close.
4 letters.
(I have no clue...)
Have you heard of
Let's Have Dinner Together?
What are you worried about these days?
None.
He plays the drums.
Really?
He likes playing drums in the basement.
That's really cool.
Can you show us?
Is that okay?
Why don't you show them?
Don't hide your talents.
(To the basement!)
(When you go down the stairs...)
(There's another space for the family.)
(Jung-won's drums.)
Look!
He must've practiced a lot.
This chair has worn out!
Be confident.
He looks good just sitting down!
(Nervous dad.)
(Slowly feeling the rhythm.)
(Rhythm pig.)
(Very chic style of play.)
(Happy dad.)
(Exerts his feelings to his drumsticks.)
(Beat change.)
(That was unexpectedly good!)
(Chic drummer, Park Jung-won.)
U-ee!
You can only see Jung-won
but I can see his father too.
His smile was this big.
Really?
But that was so good!
I'm grateful for Jung-won because
he's on the cusp of puberty.
Other kids wouldn't do this.
Exactly.
He's getting there.
(Jung-won is just too cute for his dad.)
(A lot of newspaper articles.)
I'm a customer too.
Thank you.
(His occupation...)
Really?
I was Coway's CEO.
We're his customers.
(Shy.)
Amazing!
Can I look at these photos?
Sure.
Is that you when you were young?
What's the article about?
Coway started water filter rental business.
That was during IMF when
the economy was horrible.
(His idea saved the company.)
IMF was in 1997
I was hired as the CEO in
February of 1998.
In the worst time!
Yes.
That's the house I lived in as a kid.
It was in Donamdong.
It's gone now.
That's where you used to live?
(Where he used to play as a child.)
That was our house.
Back then?
That's a small cottage.
It was destroyed to get developed.
I took the photo in black and white
before it was destroyed.
It's history.
It's my history.
(More pictures to the side.)
What are these?
That's when Jung-won was young.
He's adorable!
(Looked just like he does now...)
Who's that?
Our second daughter.
(That's his second daughter!)
She was the first female
K-9 units trainer in Korea.
That's so awesome.
(Meanwhile...)
(She took over getting ready for dinner!)
Delicious looking spicy stirred fried pork.
(And other side dishes.)
And various dishes made with
his secret recipe.
(Kimchi stew.)
(Dinner is being set.)
(Found a mackerel in the fridge!)
Do you need help with anything?
No, I'm finished!
Your husband said he was cooking...
Did he make all that?
Yes, he did.
And you took over?
Does he cook a lot normally?
He's good at it and he likes doing it.
I'm jealous...
This is so awkward for me.
I'm not used to doing this.
I haven't had mackerel in ages.
Really?
(That's a lot of oil...)
(Getting everywhere...)
(Burning.)
(About to explode.)
Look!
I'm sorry.
(Crisis averted.)
You don't cook normally?
I'm not very good...
(The whole world just saw that.)
Do you need help with anything?
You're a better cook in this house?
She's a good cook too.
I just help once in a while.
She was complimenting him
so much until now!
I can't match her details.
I just try to copy what I had as a kid.
This is the marriage that I want.
He's complimenting her as well.
Did you make this too?
Yes.
What's the recipe for this?
Use anchovies for broth.
And I add some butter.
Most people stir fry kimchi.
But I boil it.
I'm a chef in Kang's Restaurant!
I'm good at grilling.
(Chef Kang steps up to help.)
(Flips.)
(Success.)
The mackerel has started to smell delicious
and became wonderfully cooked.
Dishes prepared by the couple
is being placed on the table
one by one.
Unbelievable.
A delicious meal!
A dinner in Sungbukdong.
Thanks to a cool guy,
they were able to get past the high walls
to enjoy a healthy meal that he prepared.
Just ignore us.
Don't think we're here.
Let's eat.
I need to take my glasses off.
Did you go to the hospital today?
I did.
I need to back on Monday.
What did the doctor say?
What's the reason?
Being old?
(Came out of nowhere.)
You're old and I accrued miles?
We need to stop using miles.
What did you do at Pilates this morning?
What did you do?
(Wants to know what he says.)
Just things like stretching.
You didn't go today?
Nope.
You're the one who needs it...
You're sick because you're lazy.
(What...?)
It's your fault.
What?
You make me work too much.
I did what?
This is awkward!
You need to exercise!
Cut!
We need to stop before you guys fight.
You guys were so romantic before!
Dinner theater ruined everything!
She doesn't exercise!
That's why she's always sick!
I didn't know which house I'd be
going in today...
So I just brought a gift...
Really?
I don't know if you enjoy drinking...
But I brought wine...
I didn't know either.
Jung-won, I'm sorry.
Thank you for dinner.
We just finished our last bottle.
Really?
Thank you.
Thank you for the food!
Enjoy Jung-won!
You too, U-ee.
Thank you.
Enjoy.
(Tries the kimchi stew first.)
It's delicious!
(Happy.)
(And U-ee started digging in.)
Stir fried pork was always her favorite...
(Tries the mackerel.)
Showing her true potential
as a healthy girl,
she puts a mouthful of meat into her mouth.
The cold winter has made
this cold kimchi delicious and cold
to give Ho-dong goosebumps.
This is delicious.
This meal is as warm
as the hearts of this family.
You have a great imagination.
(Amiable.)
He really knows how to eat.
(CEO's face analysis.)
This part's really developed.
(Optimized for eating.)
I'm like that too.
(Sharp analysis by the former CEO.)
When did you start cooking?
Before...
Because I was the only child...
I wasn't allowed in the kitchen.
But after getting married,
I naturally tried to cook
to satiate my palate.
One of my favorite was bibim noodles.
Kimchi bibim noodles.
Did your mom make it?
Exactly.
I started cooking trying to emulate hers.
Do you go grocery shopping too?
He's really good at it.
There's no bazaar near here.
The closest one is Eugene Bazaar.
I stop by after work...
So when we go there...
People know me better than they know her.
(While they're talking about)
(his admiration for cooking...)
(They're still searching for a meal.)
Ho-dong is so lucky...
I know...
U-ee had to...
Bring her dad up.
And he was a baseball fan...
My dad should've played soccer...
He did wrestling and judo...
This door has a password.
(Quickly exits.)
Let's go!
An actress is here!
Who is it?
An actress!
Hi!
Hello.
My name is Lim Soo-hyang, an actress...
Do you recognize me?
Yes.
Thank you.
Did you eat yet?
We just ate...
I see...
What did you have?
I had salad.
I had kimchi stew!
That's my favorite!
Kimchi stew is my favorite!
- Thank you! - We'll be going now. Thank you.
Let's go.
We can't just be walking around like this.
Goodness.
- I'll show you a demonstration. - Okay.
- Who is it? - Hello!
- Yes? - I'm Lee Kyung-kyu.
- Hello? - Yes?
Do you know who I am?
Sorry?
I don't know who you are!
Okay, good-bye.
I'm sorry.
What was that?
- I'm sorry. I'm shocked. - I've never seen such a random demonstration before.
- I think she's angry. - I'm so embarrassed!
- Why didn't you ring the doorbell? - You said you were going to demonstrate it.
I don't think there are tricks about how to do this.
Of course not! You're just doing it.
- Please watch how I do it. - I will.
- Be polite. - Hello?
- Hello. - Hi.
- I'm actress Im Soo-hyang. - Hi.
Do you recognize me?
No.
- We're from "Let's Eat Dinner Together." - Oh, dear.
- What to do? We already finished eating. - You already ate?
- Oh, my. I can't believe you came to my neighborhood. - Yes.
- Here's Lee Kyung-kyu. - Hello, ma'am! I'm Lee Kyung-kyu!
- Hello. I just finished eating. - Oh, no!
Anyhow, it's good to at least see you guys like this.
- All right. Be happy. - Thank you.
- Have a warm night. - Thank you.
Let's go.
At least we had slight hope with her.
This is how you do it.
- You learned from me, right? - It felt satisfying, didn't it?
After seeing me fail big time? Was it satisfying or not?
(Ding-dong)
Say, "I'm actress Im Soo-hyang."
I don't have any rights to lecture you though.
I received a blow...
- Hello? - Hello!
Hello.
- Hi, I'm actress Im Soo-hyang. - Oh, yes. I know you! It's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you! We're from a program where we eat dinner together. Did you eat?
Oh!
Oh...
- Hello, I'm Lee Kyung-kyu. - Hi.
- We're from "Let's Eat Dinner Together." - I'm sorry. We just finished eating.
Oh, no!
- I'm sorry. - We understand.
It'd be nice if I can at least serve you a cup of tea.
- Thank you for your kind words. - Thank you.
- It's a relief the weather isn't that cold today. - Pardon?
Yes, but, it's very cold.
It is cold.
(Our bodies are cold, but we received your warm heart.)
We're from "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
- We already ate. - Oh, you did?
Did you eat dinner already?
- Yes. - Oh, you did?
Let's run now.
This is a program where we eat dinner together.
We already ate. I was wondering when you would come, and you actually did.
- You could've eaten with us. - I know.
I think everyone ate dinner already.
Gosh, it's an uphill.
I'm losing my mind.
It's tiring since we're going uphill.
As hard as it is to breathe on the uphill, it
is difficult to get dinner in Seongbuk-dong.
I'm hungry.
What's this? Why are there so many of them?
- Bonanza. - Bonanza!
There are three of them. One of them is bound to work!
(There's no answer from the first doorbell.)
(They quickly ring the second doorbell.)
- Who is it? - Hello, ma'am.
- Hi. - I'm Lee Kyung-kyu.
- Hi. - Hello.
- Hi. - Happy New Year.
Hello, ma'am. Sorry, but did you eat dinner yet?
- Oh, no. We just ate. - We just ate.
Oh, no. I really like you. I'm sorry.
- Okay, thank you. - Thank you.
- Isn't she Im Soo-hyang? - She is.
- Good luck! - Hello! It's nice to meet you!
- We should've come here earlier, right? - I know.
- It's too bad. - Happy New Year. Thank you.
- Bye. - Bye. Thank you.
What's this house?
- Who is it? - Hello, sir. I'm Lee Kyung-kyu.
- Hi. - Hello. Do you know who I am?
I do, but a baby is sleeping right now.
- Who? - A baby.
A baby? Oh, really? All right. Thank you.
There were three families.
- It's too bad. - But they already ate.
Before coming here, I went to get tarot cards read to see if I would succeed or not.
The tarot card reader said I would succeed!
tarot cards? My goodness! You're going around asking shamans?
- I was just passing by... - You should've gotten an exorcism instead.
Will they be able to have a bright dinner like the tarot cards have destined?
(They're going uphill again.)
What time is it right now?
Seongbuk-dong...
Did you lose all the energy in your legs?
Kyung-kyu, you lost all the energy in your legs.
- Hello? - Yes?
- Hello. I'm Lee Kyung-kyu. - And?
We're from the program "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
- Oh, we don't need such a thing. - All right. Thank you.
He said he doesn't need it.
(After going up for a long time...)
We came up this far.
(A beautiful night scenery before their eyes)
That's not important right now. Not at all.
(There aren't even 20 minutes left.)
- This one. - Soo-yang, do something.
- Can I go to this one? - We can try it out.
You try this one. I'll try that one.
Is that okay?
Hello? Hello?
(Glum)
(At this rate, will they really be going to a convenience store?)
We can do it!
Are you close to the tarot card reader?
No, I just went to see her with a friend...
What did the cards say? That we'll make it?
- They said we would succeed. - They did?
Yes.
Try this one.
(He rings the doorbell of the house across from it.)
(Both houses aren't responding.)
Who is it?
Hello!
- Who is it? - Hi, I'm comedian Lee Kyung-kyu.
- Oh, I see. - Did you eat yet?
Of course I did! I wouldn't have if I had known you were coming.
- I know! Did you eat yet? - I did.
- Oh, no! - I already ate!
- Why did you come so late? - I know.
- Thank you. - Why do you look so young in real life?
I am young. Good-bye, ma'am.
(Just ring it.)
They're not home.
Stay there.
It's 7:50 p.m.
Gosh! Where do we have to go?
Time is almost up for Kyung-kyu and Soo-hyang.
Let's go!
This won't do. There are ten minutes left.
The stars are very beautiful.
(I have a good feeling about this one!)
- Hello? - We're done eating!
- You guys are? - Yes.
Oh, no!
(There are 7 minutes left until they have to go to the convenience store!)
Ring it.
The light is on!
Hello.
- Who is it? - Hi!
We're from "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
- I see. - Did you eat dinner yet?
- Hello! - We didn't eat yet.
You didn't?
- We didn't eat yet. - You didn't?
- This is my parents' house, so let me ask them first. - Okay.
- Hello, ma'am! - I'm not a ma'am.
- I apologize. - Will you ask them?
- Sure. - We have no time.
Okay.
(5 minutes left)
tarot cards!
The tarot card reader said we would succeed!
(They're in a situation where they want to clutch at straws.)
Please...
- She's coming. - All I hear are dogs barking.
Please! Please! Please!
(Kyung-kyu & Soo-hyang are at the end of a cliff.)
(What is their fate...?)
- She's coming. - All I hear are dogs barking.
Please! Please! Please!
(Kyung-kyu & Soo-hyang are at the end of a cliff.)
(Will they be able to receive a miraculous answer?)
- Hello! - Hi.
- We don't have much to eat though. - It's fine!
- All we have is bean paste stew. - Okay, that's perfect!
- Really? - Yes.
- There's not much time left, huh? - Two minutes! This is the last house!
Really? Should I drag on the time then?
No! Please save us! Please don't do that!
- We need to clean up a bit, so please give us some time. - Sure!
- Then are we eating together? - Yes, we are.
- Please wait a little bit. - Thank you!
(Miraculous success)
Final goal!
- The tarot card reader was right! - Don't say that.
(An unbelievable dream-like success)
This is great!
I'm going to sit.
Me, too.
Oh, my back. It must be from the yoga earlier.
(Speedily gets up)
- Come in. - It's okay? Thank you.
(8:00 p.m.: Kyung-kyu & Soo-hyang enter the home that will give them dinner.)
- Who is home right now? - My parents.
- Really? - My husband is at work right now.
Is that so?
Just like the tarot cards destined,
they knocked on heaven's door and came into the
dinner story of another home in Seongbuk-dong.
- Hello, ma'am! - Hello!
- You're really beautiful. - You are!
It's nice to meet you. Oh, your granddaughter!
- Granddaughter! - She's beautiful.
- She's 50 days old. - 50 days?
Hello. She's the youngest to appear on the show.
Who lives here?
My mom, dad,
my husband, our baby, and me.
So you guys are living here together?
Our son is in Japan, and our other daughter is in America.
Only our youngest daughter lives with us now.
I see.
The warm house is filled with photos of the three siblings' childhood,
plants they're growing, and cozy and cute props.
- Is there anything I can help you with? - No.
- But I'm good at helping out. - Oh, my. You're so beautiful.
I'll help you out.
- I don't even have many side dishes. Oh, no. - It's fine.
They look delicious!
At the appearance of the new family who came like fate,
the mother prepares dinner with skillful hands.
The kimchi she made herself,
healthy and savory fried anchovy,
and nicely roasted seaweed.
She places all the dishes she made herself
in bowls and plates in an appetizing manner.
Soo-hyang, who was able to get dinner in a dramatic way,
helps the mother and prepares for dinner.
Sorry, but what do you do for a living?
I do something special.
- The military personnel... - Oh, soldiers.
I made a recreation center where they can sing and
play games when they're done with their schedule.
- That is very special. - Yes.
This is totally home-made food, isn't it?
(Time for a proof shoot./Let's see.)
This dinner is a miraculous one given at the doorstep of failure.
It is a wonderful meal in Seongbuk-dong with the mother's amazing
cooking skills, the family's warmth, and the new family's desperation.
Okay. "Dinner Theater." Ready, action.
Thank you, Lord.
We ended our day in grace, and our family reunited at this time.
- Please help it be a wonderful dinner. - Amen.
- Please help us to eat this good food and become healthy. - Amen.
On-yoo is crying.
You have to eat food. You're glaring at me?
Okay, okay.
- What number grandchild is she? - His sixth one.
How harmonious.
We only thought about eating ourselves.
It's On-yoo's time to eat, but we didn't even notice.
(Are you ignoring me because I'm the sixth grandchild?)
- Cut. - Oh, you were filming that?
Yes, we were.
Oh, I thought we had to do something, like have awkward conversations.
It was natural and nice.
- Enjoy. - We will. Thank you for the food, ma'am.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
- It's delicious. - It is?
It's delicious. It's really like home-made food.
- It is home-made food. - I live by myself, so I can't eat food like this.
It's really good!
Soo-hyang, who is touched by the dinner she wished for so desperately,
is once again moved my home-made food and is
enjoying her dinner with a grateful heart.
- The bean paste stew is amazing. - This is touching.
- You look the same as you do on TV. - Me? I do.
- You look younger. - Oh, no.
Kyung-kyu, who tasted both bitterness and the cold earlier,
is experiencing the heaven he forgot through
tonight's especially savory bean paste stew.
- You are really pretty. Your face is so small, too. - Thank you.
Oh, my. Oh, my.
Who are those people in that photo over there?
My youngest daughter and her husband. My husband and I.
And my son and his family. That's my grandson.
They have five grandchildren, and I married late. I married very late.
I went to the hospital and made a lot of effort to have a baby.
So I asked my dad, "Are five grandchildren
not enough? Do you really need another one?"
As a joke, I was like, "You already have many
grandchildren, so it will be fine if I don't have a child."
But when my parents heard I was pregnant, my
mother started to cry because she was so happy.
So I was like, "Even though she has five grandchildren,
I guess she will still cry if she gets another one."
- She was thrilled. - Did you have her after a few years?
No, I got pregnant after one year of marriage.
She married late.
She got married at the age of 41 or 42.
So it was slightly impossible for her to have a baby.
- So it was a miracle. - Right.
Then did you work before this?
No, I worked as a freelancer for events. I was an MC.
- MC? - MC?
Yes.
(Goodness)
I was an MC for 20 years ever since I was 21 years old.
- MC for what? - Events, like festivals or business outings.
- With a microphone? - Yes.
- Hosting games? - Yes, and for recreational things.
- You would tell the boss to come up and say a word. - Yes.
- Do you still do it? - No, not ever since I had the baby.
So you're taking a break.
Lee Soo-geun was my senior classmate in school.
- For recreation? - Yes.
- Amazing. - No wonder!
Earlier, when it was 7:58,
you were like, "Should I drag out the time?" You weren't ordinary.
Should I drag out the time then?
No! Please save us! Please don't!
I thought you had a sense of humor.
- You could've been my junior classmate. - Right.
I want to be an MC as well.
Give me some tips about how to be a good MC.
If you keep doing it, you'll do it well. All the comments collect in your head.
- So you gain knowledge. - So the right comment comes out at the right time.
As expected from a master.
(The dignity of a 20-year MC)
Honestly, when you're an MC for a long time, there's the sorrow of being nameless.
- There were many instances like that. - Right?
This company was going to have a huge event, and they wanted me to plan everything.
So I planned everything.
But they brought a celebrity who was close to them.
Then they lied to me that the event has been canceled.
But when I looked online later, I realized they used my plans with that celebrity.
There was nothing I could do though since I was nobody.
I thought, "If I feel unfair, I should've been a celebrity."
- I understand you completely. - It happens a lot.
But if you do well, in the beginning, the audience may be dull, but towards the end,
they applaud you like this.
I think that's why I became an MC.
(Because there were people who were entertained by her,)
(she was able to walk the long path of an MC despite the sorrow of being nameless.)
- Did you see that your daughter had a knack for this? - Yes, I did.
But I had a talent for it when I was little, too.
(Using the chance to brag about himself)
Long time ago, when there were festivals in the
- neighborhood, there would be competitions. - Right.
- So I would be the MC for them. - Really?
- So she might be influenced by that. - Yes.
When he was young, he won first place in the competition.
It was like an audition program.
He won first place in those kinds of competitions.
Right.
All of you have talents to be celebrities.
You can make On-yoo go into the entertainment industry.
Her speech took after mine. Her babbling is fast.
(She's definitely my granddaughter!)
You want to talk, too?
(Oh, you did?)
I think she knows something.
- She's not even whining today. - Really?
- Yes. - Yes. She knows something.
She's adorable.
So now you don't want to be an MC anymore?
Just like how I hosted events because I loved to, I love watching On-yoo now.
- I'm so happy. - I think you enjoy every moment.
Mother, father, younger daughter, her husband, and even loveable On-yoo.
Laughter does not cease in this house where three generations live together.
How did you make your own fortune?
I worked in the company for 30 years.
I can't really say I made my own fortune.
I was lucky enough for my company to succeed.
- You entered it as a rookie though. - Right.
- How many years did you work there? - About 30 years. It's my 29th year there.
You became a CEO in 30 years?
- I became one in 20 years. - I see.
- I was a CEO for 12 years. - So you've been working there for nearly 30 years.
If you look back, what was your key to success?
I'm not sure.
Creativity?
And talent?
- Creativity is important. - Even after I became the
CEO, I told this to my junior colleagues often.
There's this task you're given. But the final goal of that task isn't to get approved.
Even if you do get it approved, you need to
consider the other departments it's connected to.
So I make sure I make the task comfortable to the other departments.
- You must have felt like your life was incomplete at times. - Of course.
So how did you endure those times?
I didn't endure it. I wrote about ten resignation letters.
I just gave up when I didn't like what was going on.
But my superiors stopped me, and I pretended to have no choice but to work there.
- You submitted ten resignation letters? - Yes.
An year later, I would write one again after getting ticked off.
Them my superiors would stop me again.
You had good colleagues then.
There were many superiors who kind of coddled me. I look cute, after all.
I sing when they tell me to and drink when they tell me to. How cute was I?
- You didn't say no? - Of course not.
The little boy who always dreamed big with imagination in Miari Valley
slowly made that dream into reality
and became the hero of a successful story that everyone dreams to be.
- I'm sure his wife endured many difficulties as well. - Right.
She can't just express it all. Aren't I right?
The best thing she does as a housewife is when...
Sometimes I tell her I have plans after work before I leave in the morning,
and there are times when I come home late without telling her.
She never asks me anything. "Who were you with? Where did you go?"
She never asks me about why I'm late and what I do after work.
I think that's the best thing a wife can do.
When that happens, the husband starts confessing himself.
(Voluntarily)
"He was very funny. He goes into a terrible drunken frenzy."
I just tell her my stories in the morning.
Sometimes, she doesn't know what's going on, and yet, I tell her.
- But he's good at talking. - Before you ask?
Yes. Sometimes, he calls me late and night and asks, "Aren't you curious about me?"
(He can't hold it in and eventually calls her.)
"Is she neglecting me?"
Because she doesn't call you.
While drinking, some of my friends' wives start calling, you know?
But that never happens to me.
So I wonder if I became left out.
A while back, there was an earthquake,
but I was home, so I didn't know.
He was drinking with his friends, and all the wives called but me.
So when he came home that day, he was so angry.
He was like, "Aren't you worried about me when there was an earthquake?"
I didn't feel it, but my friends received calls about the earthquake.
After that, I purposely call him once in a while.
That hardly happens though.
You got married late.
- I thought I wouldn't be able to get married. - Why not?
It's difficult to meet a man after you're 39 or 40, you know?
There are no chances to, and all the good ones are gone.
And the ones who are single and nice already got divorced once.
So it wasn't working out.
- You must've been very frustrated. - Of course.
After she turned 40, I realized she won't be able
to get married, and half of my hope was gone.
I wondered if I had to continue taking care of her.
- Please tell us your love story. - I hated him.
- You did? At first? - I really hate him at first.
- Your husband, right? - How did you guys meet?
We were introduced through mutual friends, and he was the opposite of my ideal type.
- I'm a bit tall, you know. - Yes.
I like someone who has a good physique, is manly, and has a deep voice.
He's shorter than me, too.
Every day, he came in front of my house.
- Out there? - Yes.
He's romantic.
It was snowing one day, and the roads were slippery, and yet, he still came.
- The roads out there? - Yes.
- He fell for you at first sight. - That's what made me fall for him.
My husband said he thought I had to be the one.
- How long did you guys date? - One year.
How did you guys feel when your son-in-law followed your daughter like this?
Before him, many of her ex-boyfriends canceled out, so I thought there was no hope.
- "Canceled out." - She was already over 40 years old.
That prime time was over, so I didn't have huge expectations.
I met him, and I liked him at once.
He's such a nice man. He's very gentle. His name is Kim Jae-Jung.
So I said, "Your finances must be very abundant." (Pun)
We joked around like that.
- Did you like him? - I was just grateful he was taking her.
(Just by that, she approved.)
- Someone came. - Your husband?
My husband must be here.
I told him you guys came, and he came over in the middle of work.
(How amazing)
- Hello! - Hi!
- You're very cute! - You look so nice!
Sit over there.
You came home rather quickly.
(Yes)
I sent him a message saying that "Let's Eat Dinner Together" is filming at our house.
He asked me "Really? Really?" I didn't answer him though, so that's why he came.
- Work didn't end yet, huh? - Yeah.
- You just stopped what you were doing and came? - Yes.
- But he has a good impression. - He does.
He does.
- Do you do the same work your father-in-law does? - Yes.
- We heard all about you. - What about me?
Your melodrama.
(Shy)
- I said I really hated you. - What did you like so much about her?
There was just no reason.
- You just knew she was the one and you didn't want to lose her. - Yes.
How did you come here every day? The uphill here is really tiring.
Yes, the roads were slippery and my car spun around.
- When it snows on the uphill, it's dangerous. - Right.
- Did you see his car spinning around? - No, I didn't.
- I didn't get to check it. - You should've.
His house was in Jinjeop, and one late night, I said I was hungry.
He asked if I ate, and I said, "No, I don't want to eat. I'm hungry though."
A little while later, he called me saying he was in front of my house and to come out.
He bought cake from Jinjeop and brought it to me.
- He's very sweet. - Why did you do that?
I wouldn't do that now.
No, from what I think, you served your wife very well during her pregnancy.
Even now, even if it's been about 50 days since our
baby was born, I never washed her towels myself.
We wash everything by hand, and my husband does all of that.
- That's great. - It's awesome.
What is the age difference between you two...?
- He's two years older. - So you're younger.
- You look very young. - He does.
Why did you marry late?
I just liked to play too much.
Is it bad to say that? Because I worked too hard.
- Because you were doing all kinds of work? - Yes.
Seems like you got married after resolving you weren't going to.
It's not that. It's just that I hadn't met her then.
What a nice comment. A classy one.
He was too busy shooting pool.
- You told them about pool? - No, she didn't.
- Are you good at pool? - Yes.
How good are you?
I used to be a billiard player.
- Sorry? A billiard player? - Yes.
- 3 cushion player? - Yes.
- You know how there's a billiard contest on cable TV? Were you on there? - Yes.
- Really? - This isn't an ordinary house!
I was shocked he even went on a singing contest. And you did this?
I don't play now.
So you have a 1000 prevalence...oh, wrong word.
- Do you have 1,000 points in billiard? - I have over that.
- 1,300 or 1,400, right? - More than that.
- 1,500? - Yes.
You're acknowledged as the god of billiard if you go over 1,000 points.
G.O.B.
If we're talking in terms of golf, he's like Tiger Woods.
- To have that score means he didn't study at all. - Right.
(Acknowledged)
I know a bit about billiard.
- How well do you play? - About 100 points.
- How about you, sir? - I can't play it.
Zero points.
- Why did you stop being a professional? - I wasn't that skilled enough.
- I just went to that border. - You were a player, but no more beyond that.
I quickly figured it out and quickly quit.
Did you ever see her host an event?
- Once, when she went around the country, I acted as her driver. - As a manager.
Busan, Daegu, and Gwangju, too, right?
- He did all the driving for me. - How nice.
- I was so happy. - Right?
- It's comfortable to go up there and host. - So comfortable.
Before that, I had to drive long-distance after hosting for two hours.
He's perfect as the manager.
- You don't have to pay him either. - Right!
- He won't run away either. - Yes.
- Is she good on stage? - I've never seen it before.
I just waited in the car.
You were outside just waiting for her.
Of course he has to be waiting when the MC is hosting.
You guys are such a nice couple.
I want to meet a man like that. Someone who's sweet.
Yes, I think that's the best.
I used to like someone who's manly, cool, and leads me.
But when something bad happens with those kind
of people, a fight becomes bigger and scarier.
But there are no fights with soft people.
(Seongbuk-dong's Gandhi)
Is that a compliment?
Depends on how you take it.
It's so nice.
Really? Are you like that, too, sir?
No...
- I don't think you're the sweet style. - Right.
Right?
I'm not like that at all, but when I look at my son-in-law, I'm in awe.
So I have no idea what to do.
That's right. His wife's opinions are important though.
What do you think your husband is like?
He's patriarchal.
(Acknowledges)
- Isn't it nice to have a sweet husband? - Of course.
- Right? It's too late to change, isn't it? - Of course. Why should I change?
It'd be strange if he suddenly became sweet.
- You must be happy. - I am.
The woman who gave up on marriage
met a man of will who dreamed of marrying her and found true love.
She is living a happy life she had never known she
would have with On-yoo under her parent's blessings.
I hope you can host this for us.
- We have a compliment/complain segment. - Sorry?
Compliment/complain.
I'll let you take care of that. I introduce MC Park Jin-sil to you!
Segment in segment.
Compliment/complain. I say these kind of comments to my dad at times.
You lived with mom your whole life, but if there's
something you're disappointed in her about...
I've been with her for 45 years, and for the past
few years, I've been feeling disappointed...
because she controls me.
She controls me, so I'm a bit disappointed about that.
Then what are you disappointed about in dad?
- There's nothing to be disappointed about. - Not you. You did your share.
Something you're disappointed in dad about.
I can't believe he thinks I control him...
It's just that my voice grew louder.
- So you do acknowledge it in some part? - Kind of.
- Kind of? - Yes.
I'll be 70 soon...
If they start fighting, you can just quietly leave.
Your face turned red.
How about something you're really grateful to dad about?
Whether he's angry or not, he never raises his voice.
He explains everything in a gentle manner and tries to make me understand it.
That's when I'm grateful.
What are you really grateful to mom about?
I'm grateful because she got married to me and suffered a lot.
Despite that fact, she stayed with me.
I'll always be grateful about that until the day I die.
We should've done it sincerely, but it sounded kind of scripted.
What about you? Do you have any wishes or disappointments?
Seriously. You don't have to be careful because we're on TV. Just be comfortable.
If not now, you won't ever be able to say it.
Comfortably.
Do you think I'll get mad if you say something now?
You will later.
(He comfortably (?) musters up the courage...)
Long time ago, it was a special talent, but now it's more of a habit...
About billiard...
I did it less and less, and recently, I haven't been able to go play at all.
I hope that you can give me some time so that I can do it as a hobby...
I can go and give people lessons, you know?
We're talking about disappointments. Not your wishes.
I was hoping she'd bring it up first.
If I'm watching the billiard channel...
I was waiting for her to ask, "Do you want to go play?"
Then tell me the grateful things next.
I'm grateful that you decided to get married to a man like me.
I'll probably be grateful for that for the rest of my life.
- Should I tell you my disappointments or compliments first? - Disappointments.
- Better to face the worst early. - It's best to
comfort the disappointments with compliments.
It's fine if you go home late, right?
(It doesn't matter to me!)
- I have so many! - You do?
The thing I'm disappointed in...
is that sometimes...just sometimes...
he drinks, and to do that,
he does whatever he can to drink.
- I get disappointed when that happens. - Then you guys can do this.
You can let him play billiard a little...
and let him drink a little...
What? Both?
(Solomon Kyu wasn't wise.)
I'm sorry. It was supposed to benefit both sides, but it only benefited one side.
I'm grateful for everything. I'm really grateful.
I was really sensitive during my pregnancy, and I really complained a lot.
But he accepted everything and never got annoyed. I'm grateful for everything.
She's grateful for everything.
- We ended warmly, which was what we were supposed to do. - Exactly.
You know our segment, right? Let's start with you Joong-won.
You don't want to?
- You're not going to compliment him? - Why? You don't like anything about me?
Hey, I do everything you tell me to.
Other dads would never do that.
You tell me to buy Subway for you, and I do it.
You're not mad, are you?
(Anyone can tell he's mad.)
I'm the type to get easily mad.
Three compliments about your wife. First one?
Thank you for trusting me, and you have many sisters-in-law,
but you show great leadership to them.
- Last of all? - You endlessly research about Joong-won's math and English books.
That's great.
As you can see, he's always bright.
Even though there may be hardships at work, he never brings that home.
I'm grateful about that, and he's very domestic.
He takes good care of us.
He's handsome, too.
(Good looks are the best!)
- We have to wash the dishes. - You do?
It was delicious. I really like those kinds of side dishes.
- The kimchi was good. - Yes.
Your father must be happy after watching this.
- My dad loves it when his name is mentioned on TV. - Right?
- Yes. - He must feel very proud today.
I brought a gift.
- She almost couldn't give it. - Right.
That's right. You couldn't have if you didn't go into a home.
I even wrote a letter to the family whom I didn't know about.
You did?
"To the world's kindest people who gave me dinner.
Hello. I'm actress Im Soo-hyang.
Thank you for giving me delicious dinner today.
You'll be blessed."
(Touched)
- I wrote the letter by imagining the family. - I received a gift from a celebrity.
Look at our staff members' feet, sir. They're wearing slippers.
- This is your idea? - Yes.
- When? - In 1998.
I have to go into many customers' homes to change their filters, you know?
So this is used for that.
- You're the first one to come up with this? - Yes.
(Commemorative photo time with the families!)
Be healthy!
At Seongbuk-dong where hearts are kind, houses 112 and 113 have been born.
- Way to go, "Let's Eat Dinner Together!" - Way to go!
(They definitely proved Uee's gift.)
Oh, this is great!
Thank you for the good memories!
- Way to go, "Let's Eat Dinner Together!" - Way to go!
- Soo-hyang, we really love the scented candles! Thank you! - Thank you!
- Go, On-yoo! - Go, On-yoo!
Welcome to gas station!
- What's that? - Is that me?
(Who are today's dinner guests?)
(Hong Jin-young/Yoon Jung-soo)
This is the human vitamin episode!
(Let's go, vitamin!/Bounce, Bounce)
(Explosion of excitement)
(In a trance)
(Tsk, tsk...)
The program has lost its class.
How frustrating! You think I'm going to lose to the likes of you?
(This is called excitement.../We can't beat him.)
- We came to Sadang-dong. - It's an amazing place.
It's the essence of transportation.
I can't believe there's a market in the middle of the city.
Looks delicious!
It's freezing! This is the coldest weather I've ever endured on this show!
Come this way!
(Hiding behind Ho-dong to avoid the wind)
(Will their dinner plans be all right in this frigid weather?)
This is Namsang Sagye Market.
Buy a lot of things. (Pun)
(What's wrong with him...?)
- Where are you going? - To get my health exam.
- Did you get an endoscopy? - It's best to get an endoscopy at 4:00. (Pun)
That's ridiculous!
In this cold weather!
(Today's dinner is going to be troublesome.)
- Hello. I'm comedian Yoon Jung-soo. - What's that?
He's a person. He's kind of short. He doesn't
have a neck. Recently, he lost some weight.
I don't know you.
- I'm singer Hong Jin-young who sang "Love Battery." - And?
I don't know you.
(Helpless in front of the doorbell)
- It doesn't make any sounds. Is it frozen? - It won't work because it's frozen.
(Then...)
- There are no rules, right? - Let's just do whatever.
- Ma'am! - We're in front of here!
Hello, sir.
- Are you home? - Ma'am.
- Did you eat dinner? - Did you?
Ma'am!
(Will they be able to safely have dinner?)
("Let's Eat Dinner Together"/Wednesday 11 p.m.)
I'm so grateful.
This is really amazing.
I can't believe I ate dinner at a stranger's house.
- It's amazing, huh? - It's so amazing!
How can we go inside at 7:58?
Isn't this a drama?
This dramatic success!
Way to go!
Will you take down the walls in your hearts and have dinner with us?
