(National Competition on Worries)
Today, we invited the hosts...
of KBS' popular radio shows.
Announcer Park Eun Young of "FM March"!
- Welcome. - Hello. I'm Park Eun Young.
Yoon Jeong Su and Nam Chang Hee of "Mister Radio"!
- It's nice to meet you. - Hello.
Newcomer Actress Park Gi Ru!
It's nice to meet you.
The passionate singer, Kim Dong Han!
(Kim Dong Han who will release his solo album soon)
(He is handsome.)
- The two hosts of "Mister Radio". - Yes?
Are you two happy with each other as your co-host?
I really like him as my co-host.
However, at first, I thought I would like my co-host...
whoever I co-hosted the show.
- I would have accepted anyone. - I see.
Whether it was Park Jung Soo or Pyeon Jung Su,
I told myself to try to become fond of my co-host.
Anyway, it's so much fun to work with Yoon Jeong Su,
and we create great chemistry.
Jeong Su, what do you think about your teamwork?
I contemplated for a day.
- Why? - Why?
I wanted to work with someone more popular.
- I see. - That's right.
I hoped so. However,
working with Chang Hee changed my mind. Now I'm mesmerized...
- by Chang Hee's charms. - What are his charms?
- He's so smart. - Is he?
He has a broad knowledge of many things. For example,
the word "bleak"...
Do you know the origin of that word?
- No. What is it? - What is it?
- Exactly. I was surprised too. - He knows the origin of the word?
When the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905 was signed,
- all Koreans were sad and upset. - That's right.
So people used the word to describe a depressing atmosphere...
like when the treaty was signed.
It was signed in 1905, the Eulsa Year.
The word is originated from the Eulsa Year.
He's so smart as you can see.
It's interesting. Can you tell us one more thing?
That's the only one I can tell you right now.
- That's it? - He's smart.
He's so smart. I had no idea.
- He must be highly educated. - Right.
- Eun Young hosts a morning show. - That's right.
Since you host a live morning show,
you must not have much time to spend in the evening.
I start preparing to go to bed at around 8pm.
- At 8pm? - Yes.
I lie down in my bed at 9pm and fall asleep at 10pm.
Then what time do you wake up?
I wake up at 5:30am every morning.
- At 5:30am? - Yes. I came to wonder...
They say that history is made at night. Maybe that's why I...
You don't have your own history?
- Because you go to sleep early? - Yes.
You can date a man in the daytime too.
- He's right. - It doesn't happen only at night.
In the daytime, you can...
- History is made in the daytime. - If you meet the right man for you,
you can take your relationship to the next level.
Gi Ru...
was featured in a newspaper not long ago.
Kim Sung Eun is also playing in the same play.
- Yes. We play the same role... - That's right.
- in the same play. - I see.
How did you beat the odds of 1 in 200?
I'm sure it was because of your talent.
- My character acts cute often. - I see.
She's lovely and cute.
I think I showed a cute side of me during the audition.
Please show us how you act cute.
Okay.
I'll reenact a scene of the play where I act cute.
(Making her voice sound like a baby)
"My heart... My heart is beating so fast."
"It's beating so fast."
"My heart just jumped out of my chest."
"Heart, what did you say?"
(She's communicating with her heart.)
- "My heart..." - Why am I feeling embarrassed?
"won't answer me."
- "Heart..." - It's so embarrassing.
(His jaw dropped.)
"Heart, I will save you."
"CPR."
"Here we go."
(As she revives the heart, the scene finally ends.)
- Thank you. - That was amazing.
She must've been embarrassed.
But she did a great job.
- Thank you. - That's the spirit.
That was the longest cute act I had ever seen.
- Exactly. - Yes.
I was taken aback at first,
but as you kept going on making cute noises.
You were so cute.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Dong Han, you're also famous for having a lot of talents.
Yes. I have so many talents.
Please show us.
I'll dance twice faster than the original song.
- That sounds great. - Twice faster?
Then show us the dance at the original speed first.
Please show us.
(They are excited.)
("Dope" by BTS)
(Dancing powerfully)
All right. That's it.
He danced at the original speed.
(Controlling the power rhythmically)
- I'll dance twice faster now. - Right.
- You'll dance twice faster now. - Yes.
I'm excited to see it.
(She is curious.)
(He is dancing twice faster.)
I remember this part. My goodness.
(He moves his arms and legs without a break.)
(She is jumping.)
(The man who controls the speed)
That was amazing.
Great job.
- You gave me an idea, Dong Han. - What is it?
From now on, I will...
eat twice faster than others.
(She acquired a new skill.)
- You'll eat twice faster? - Yes.
- Okay. - I think that's a good idea.
Today, we have three stories as always.
Show us the keywords, please.
"I Don't Want to Become a Police Officer".
"Night After Night". "A Dreadful Love".
"I Don't Want to Become a Police Officer".
Hello.
I'm an 18-year-old high school girl who wants to live as I want.
Since I was a little child... "Mom, I want to go to an academy."
"You brat. You won't go to an academy."
"Study at home with your workbooks."
"You know you'll start the piano lesson next week, right?"
"And don't forget about your taekwondo lesson either."
I've been living my life just as my mom wanted.
She even told me...
"Daughter, come here."
"Oh, my. Look at the police officers on TV."
"Don't they look fabulous?"
"You should become a police officer."
"Your dream is to become a police officer, and you'll become one."
Now she's even forcing me...
to become a police officer.
"Mom, I'm not sure if I can become a police officer."
"Why do you always give up without even trying?"
"Just do as I say."
Gosh. I've been putting up with it until now,
but I can't stand it anymore.
Please help me find my own life back.
(Let me decide on my own dream.)
Did you always want to become a singer?
Actually, I used to be an athlete.
- What sport did you play? - What sport?
I used to be a hapkido player.
I obtained the third-degree black belt.
It was when I was in middle school.
- He's a martial artist. - When I was younger,
I majored in the traditional Korean dance.
I was in a similar situation to hers.
Since my mom couldn't make her dream come true,
she tried to realize her dream through me, her daughter.
It's her life,
so I believe she should choose her own career path.
That's right. I wonder why her mother...
wants her to become a police officer.
Please come out.
(Who is worried about her mom who wants her to be a police officer?)
(Lee Ji Eun)
(It's nice to meet you.)
She looks cheerful.
I'll ask you straightforwardly. Why does your mother...
want you to become a police officer?
Since a police officer is a public servant,
- Right. - Of course.
- I thought so. - She says that I can live...
a comfortable life compared to people with other jobs.
- It's a stable job. - That's right.
Your mother must have had her own reasons to tell you that.
Whether you become one or not, I think it's normal...
for her to tell you what she hopes for.
- But she forces me to do it. - I see.
She told me to become a police officer no matter what.
I learned taekwondo until I was in ninth grade.
I learned it just to get the license.
So you learned taekwondo because your mother wanted you to do it,
not because you were interested in it?
What level of belt did you achieve?
I achieved the fourth-degree belt.
I see. Then how about you two spar with each other?
(Hapkido versus taekwondo)
Hapkido versus taekwondo.
She's ranked higher than me.
(He suddenly acts politly.)
- So you won't spar with her, right? - Yes.
Of course, he won't.
I think I'll lose.
Exactly what does your mother want you to do...
to become a police officer?
When I submitted application for high school,
I wanted to go to another school,
but my mom discussed with my homeroom teacher...
and sent me to the school that I didn't want to go to.
- Does she not listen to you? - No.
She also told me to major in police administration at college...
and become a police officer.
(Why would she make decisions when it's not her life?)
When my mom made me learn to dance,
I actually enjoyed it.
- I liked it. - I see.
However, do you not want to become a police officer?
Maybe because I've been told to become one since I was little,
I don't even know if I want it or I can do it well.
You're not sure.
There are some fathers who stop their wives...
when they tell their children...
what to do.
My mom and dad are on the same side.
They're on the same side?
- You must be sad. - Of course, they are.
There's no one on my side in my family.
That's why I came on this show.
Then let's meet your mom now,
so we can hear what she have to say.
Let's meet her mother first. Hello.
- Hello. - Welcome.
Do you understand her concern?
Yes, I understand her,
but I don't know why she acts like this,
- What? - to be honest.
(She can't understand why Ji Eun hates to become a police officer.)
Actually, I had her fortune told.
She had Ji Eun's fortune told.
- You had her fortune told? - Yes.
The fortuneteller said that Ji Eun will get paid with taxpayers' money.
And then I went to see another fortuneteller.
I heard that Ji Eun will become a public servant.
That made me sure about it, and I told Ji Eun.
But there are many other public service jobs.
My dream was to become a police officer.
- See? There are many cases... - She was right.
- like this. - I can see that.
I hope my daughter...
will accomplish my dream that I couldn't accomplish.
(Where could my life be going?)
Why couldn't you make your dream come true?
It was because I'm short.
I passed the first stage.
But I didn't get a job because of my height.
However, Ji Eun is tall,
- physically fit, - She's fit too.
and good at taekwondo. That's another reason...
I pushed ahead with my plan.
She has high expectations because her daughter is talented.
So did you also make a lot of effort and learn martial arts?
Yes. I achieved the fifth-degree taekwondo belt.
I achieved the fifth-degree belt.
(Surprised)
- The fifth-degree belt? - Yes.
So they hold the 3rd, 4th, and 5th ranks?
I shouldn't have said it.
Now I understand...
- why her dad is on her mom's side. - Exactly.
That's right.
(It was a wise choice for survival.)
- He had a reasonable reason. - Right.
- I see. - However,
you must not think...
that you own your children, right?
- That's right. - Why...
do you insist that your daughter should make your dream come true?
Because I couldn't succeed,
of course, my daughter should accomplish my dream.
A child is not obligated to accomplish her parent's dream.
I know that,
but my daughter should become a police officer.
But your daughter...
doesn't want to become a police officer.
I can't give up.
That's weird.
(She's too adamant to convince.)
Can't she be a public servant in another field?
The fortuneteller said she will be a public servant.
I want her to be a police officer, not anything else.
Is that right?
- Ma'am. - Would you mind...
if I recommend you a better fortuneteller?
You will be surprised.
However, she can't become a police officer...
just because she wants to.
What if she failed to get admitted into police administration?
I'll make her try again.
(She is adamant.)
- Until she gets admission? - She is adamant.
She is stubborn.
- All right. I see. - It's interesting.
Let me ask Ji Eun's father this time.
Sir, do you agree with your wife?
I also think she should become a police officer.
Being a public servant is not a bad job.
- It's a great job. - It's a stable job.
And she'll look fabulous in her uniform.
Also, telling others about my daughter's job...
will make me feel so comfortable and proud.
Why does it make you comfortable?
"My daughter is a police officer."
(Proud)
It feels comfortable.
It's also easy to pronounce.
"My daughter is a police officer."
(It's easy to pronounce.)
You sound like you want her to become a police officer,
so you can brag about her to other people.
I'm wondering if you want it...
regardless of your daughter's happiness.
I admit that it's partly true,
but if she becomes a police officer, a public servant,
- she'll look great in her uniform. - He's talking about it again.
I don't think you're listening to us.
- I'm listening. - We can buy her a uniform.
We can all pitch in and buy her...
a better outfit than a police uniform.
I see your son came with you too.
Didn't you tell him to become a police officer?
Of course, we did, but...
However, my son's grades...
are very bad.
You didn't have to say, "very bad".
Right.
- Why would you humiliate him? - So I gave up.
Please give the mic to your son.
How bad are your grades?
(She is trying to confirm the truth.)
Is what your mother said true?
Yes, it's true.
Since my parents told me to become a police officer,
I studied really hard for a month...
to see if I could get good grades.
But I got an average score that's lower than 40 out of 100 points.
So you gave up?
- That's right. - He's cute.
- What is your dream? - Besides, I'm short...
and have a small physique. I might be beaten up or killed by a culprit.
I might get beaten up or killed by a culprit.
(The cool-headed self-evaluation)
Not necessarily.
- So I... - He's adorable.
- So? - What do you want to be?
I want to become a singer.
- A singer? - A singer?
I think you can make a good singer. You're good with words too.
When you told your parents,
did they tell you to do as you want?
- No, they didn't. - You were told to exercise.
- How did they react? - As if I was hopeless,
- Oh, no. - they said...
something like I could never become a singer.
- Why did you say that? - Ma'am.
Why did you discourage your son,
when he said he wanted to become a singer?
He's completely tone deaf.
(Then I can understand you.)
Then you can become a rapper.
I can't become a rapper because speak with a lisp.
(The merciless self-evaluation)
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have laughed.
Can you sing a little for us...
- without accompaniment? - Okay.
- He seems talented. - He's bold.
(How well could he sing?)
(He bravely starts singing "Marry Me".)
Will you hold my hand?
Marry me
(Even his own parents are not looking at him.)
He's doing well.
(What on earth is he singing?)
I want to spend
(He looks around anxiously when he asked him to sing.)
(Maybe I shouldn't have asked him to sing.)
(But he's singing with confidence.)
(What should we tell him?)
Marry me
(Whatever others say, I will go my own way.)
(He sang to the end of the song.)
- He's not tone deaf. - He's not tone deaf.
- He's not tone deaf. - All right.
We enjoyed it. Do you have another dream by any chance?
- Other than becoming a singer? - No.
- Do you plan to go for an audition? - He's charming.
I meant to go to an audition in February...
with my friend as a duet.
But my friend had a circumcision before then.
- I didn't want to do it alone. - A circumcision?
- So we'll go to another one in May. - All right.
Did you tell your dad about the audition?
Yes, I did. However,
I said that it's to build up experience,
make good memories, have a great time,
- and pass the audition. - He's good with words.
- I think he's talented. - But my dad said,
"You punk, stop blabbering nonsense."
You should become a comedian.
- Become a comedian. - He's funny.
- I was thinking the same thing. - Right. Become a comedian.
- He has a good sense of humor. - As her younger brother,
what do you think about your parents forcing your sister...
to become a police officer?
- Is it too much? - Ji Eun is partly responsible.
- Ji Eun is? - She never tells them her plans.
So my parents think she doesn't have any dreams...
and just tell her to become a police officer as they say.
(She has no dream!)
- She ignored me when I told her. - Did you tell her?
- She gets angry over petty things. - She tiptoes around her mom.
So I can't talk to her.
Does your mother yell at you and throw a tantrum?
I go to school every day since I'm a student.
When I ask, "Mom, what's tomorrow's breakfast?"
She yells, "Why do you want to know that?"
Ji Eun asks me, "Mom, what are we having for breakfast tomorrow?"
She annoys me more when she calls me,
and I answer, but she says, "Never mind."
It's so annoying.
She should just say what she has to say.
Why does she call you...
and then hesitate to say something she meant to say?
Why do you think she does it?
I guess she's worried about my reaction.
Do you tiptoe around your mom too?
- Do you? - Yes. I tiptoe around her.
So when I have a new girlfriend,
I only tell my dad.
(He tells only his dad.)
(He feels anxious for no reason.)
I'm always on pins and needles...
because my mom drank a lot when I was little.
- She drank 5 or 6 days a week. - 5 or 6 days a week?
That means she drank six days a week.
She came home late at night...
and harassed me and yelled at me.
My mom barged into my room while I was doing homework.
She threw everything on my desk on the floor.
She said, "What on earth are you doing now?"
I was upset, disappointed, and scared.
I think I still tiptoe around her, because of that memory.
Do you remember what you did?
Yes, I do remember what I did.
- But I was drunk. - Oh, boy.
In fact,
when I see Ji Eun, sometimes I feel like...
I'm watching myself.
(Does she have a traumatic memory of her childhood?)
Ma'am, do you still drink a lot?
- Or did you... - I...
quit drinking last year.
- Last year? - Did you have a particular reason?
I wonder why she quit drinking.
Ji Eun...
said something that scarred me for life.
She said,
(Hesitating)
"Dad, let's move to Cheongyang."
It's my dad's hometown.
You wanted to live without your mom?
I said we should live at my grandmother's house.
(The painful memory came back to her.)
- Back then, her mother... - Her mother...
- drank almost every day and... - It must've been hard.
(Her family members wanted to live separately from her...)
(because of her drinking problem.)
Sir, do you remember what happened?
We dated for a short period of time before we got married.
So I didn't know that she would drink that much.
After getting married, she started to drink.
And after giving birth to our children,
she drank even more.
The kids were so young, they needed their mom,
but she came home late after drinking and overslept.
Back then,
she was running a taekwondo center, but she got scammed.
(She drank even more because she was distressed.)
Ji Eun looked after the family as the eldest daughter.
- She fixed Sang Won meals. - She took care of her brother.
So is it true that you meant to move out with the kids?
Yes. Ji Eun said that we shouldn't keep living like that...
and move out.
So we prepared to move out.
Ji Eun, your mother quit drinking,
and she's making efforts to change.
Can you see the changes?
I do see that she's changing.
But if I don't do as she says,
I'm afraid...
she might go back to how she used to be.
- I feel... - She's afraid.
- Oh, that's why. - Of course.
She's afraid her mother might drink again if she doesn't listen to her.
- Right. - That's why she tiptoes around you.
(She's afraid she might see her mom drunk again.)
(The old wound can't be healed easily.)
Do you hate it when your mother gets drunk?
- Yes. - Why?
I'm worried she might...
put me through a hard time again if she drinks again.
(I'm worried she might put me through a hard time again.)
I was distressed when I was...
planning to move to my dad's hometown.
One day,
my mom bought me something delicious.
I felt apologetic towards her, because I was going to move out.
(I felt apologetic towards her, because I was going to move out.)
She feels bad for her mother and apologetic towards her...
- while resenting her. - Her career path isn't the problem.
It seems that she has all those feelings mixed up inside.
(She has mixed feelings about her mom.)
When your mother drank a lot,
did you go through a hard time just like Ji Eun did?
- Yes. It was so hard. - Can you elaborate?
When she came home,
I pretended I was sleeping...
to avoid getting hit by my mom.
But she woke me up.
She didn't stop.
- Did she scold you? - She hit me.
(She woke me up and hit me.)
- Why? - No reason.
She hits me whether I made a little mistake...
or a big one. She just hits me whatever I did.
(She hits me whatever I did.)
She has even hit me...
because I was quiet.
When you think of your mother, does she feel dignified...
or do you feel scared? Tell us honestly.
I feel scared. Mostly.
She's scarier than a ghost.
Even if I saw a ghost,
it wouldn't scare me as much as my mom does.
(Even a ghost wouldn't scare me as much as my mom does.)
Why didn't you tell your mother how you really feel?
I have tried it.
When I went to an academy, all the other kids...
went to another school.
So I felt isolated and got stressed out.
I cried a lot on my way home.
But my mom said,
"Why would you feel isolated because of that?"
She told me not to go to the academy anymore.
But that wasn't the reaction I hoped for.
- I wanted her... - You wanted her to understand you.
- I wanted some consolation. - You wanted to be comforted.
It wasn't something to comfort about.
You see,
I really hated that she lets the kids walk all over her,
and I felt like watching myself,
which broke my heart and made me upset.
You said the same thing earlier.
Why do you think she's the same as you?
(Come to think of it...)
When I was in eighth grade, I had no friends.
I wasn't exactly a friendly type.
So when someone approached me,
I was afraid I might lose the friend,
so I treated her like a senior student...
if she said so,
and when she said her bag was too heavy...
(She carried her friend's bag just because she said it was heavy!)
I was practically bullied.
I thought that Ji Eun...
also lets other kids walk all over her just like I did.
(She hoped her daughter wouldn't be hurt just like she was.)
Because of the things your mother went through as a teenager,
your mother doesn't want you to live as she did.
That's why she was even harsher to you.
- Can you understand her? - Yes.
However, the way she treats me...
brought about a contrary result.
When I eat with my friends at a restaurant,
I tend to cater to my friend's taste...
- You think about it first, right? - Yes.
I worry about what others think.
What do you think about this?
As her mother, I thought I should raise her to be tough.
That's why I was hard on her.
I really didn't know she was so hurt by it.
(I really didn't know she was so hurt by it.)
Do you think...
you communicate with your family well or not?
I feel so tired when I get home after a long day of work.
So we just...
don't have a chance to talk.
When I try to tell my dad about my plan,
he just watches TV,
mom comes home late, and my sister studies.
So no one listens to me at all.
I told my dad all about my plan...
via instant messages,
but he just reads and doesn't reply. He keeps telling me to go to bed.
He reads, but he doesn't reply.
I listen to everything my son tells me.
- I listen... - But you don't reply.
Yes, I don't reply. I talk to him later.
He keeps talking to me when I'm busy.
Does your son tell you about his plan often...
or sometimes?
(He doesn't allow his son get near to the mic.)
He often...
(They can tell that the son talks a lot.)
He was held back. He was held back.
(They can tell that the son talks a lot.)
Goodness.
They both want to talk more.
- I tend to talk often about it. - I know.
The more I see him, I can tell that he is like us.
- He is like us. - Right. He is.
Jeong Su is alike him.
Imagine the situation continues.
What are you most worried about?
If I just keep listening to my mom,
I wouldn't live my own life as Lee Ji Eun.
I might not be independent.
I can't see my future ahead.
I've been listening to all of you.
To search for your daughter's dream,
you should have explained to her...
exactly what she would do if she had that job...
and made her decide it on her own.
Then I wouldn't care what both of you think.
But both of you, her mom and dad, say, "It's nice."
"She'd feel proud."
And you tell her to dream about it.
Then how could she understand it?
(They only emphasize on looking good to others.)
Now, you guys need to make her...
experience and understand a lot of things in the world...
so that she can realize what she likes. Right?
You guys haven't shown the world to your children,
but you guys are just forcing them.
(You're just forcing them without telling them about the world.)
Let's say your daughter becomes a police officer as you wish,
and she keeps hating you and feeling sorry...
inside her heart.
Do you think that would be all right?
Or would you like to trust her...
and support and encourage...
whatever she wants to do...
and get closer with her?
If Ji Eun tells me now...
she wouldn't be a police officer,
(She regrets not having her dream come true.)
(She thought her daughter should follow that dream.)
If Ji Eun tells me now she wouldn't be a police officer...
(Would her mom change her mind?)
I'll be a warm-hearted mom whatever she becomes.
(She would support and encourage her.)
I'll be a warm-hearted mom,
and I'd never have a drink.
I'll always tell you that I love you.
I love you, Ji Eun.
(I love you.)
That's nice. I'm happy for you, Ji Eun.
(I feel like it's a dream.)
But what if the dad keeps forcing it?
Her dad.
I will definitely stop him.
As she holds a third-degree black belt in taekwondo,
he would listen to her.
(He would automatically listen to her.)
(Of course, I agree with you.)
It seems that two of you have harbored feelings for each other.
You might want to say something to each other.
I feel sorry for what I have done so far.
I wish we could have a talk more often...
and go out with the kids...
on holidays.
- Okay. - Sir, say something too.
I feel sorry.
I just had an idea, but I didn't really take action.
I think we've lived about a half of our lives.
I wish we could live kindly and happily together...
for the rest of our lives.
- Please give a hug. - Please give a hug.
- That's sweet. - They look happy.
She looks so happy.
I hope you don't rebuke your son too much.

You can do that less from now on.
(Please rebuke him a little bit.)
Please say a word to your mom and dad.
I wish you guys could support me so that I can rely on you guys...
even if I have a different dream from yours.
I love you.
- Goodness. - I feel happy.
(The guests vote.)
- I don't think it's a worry. - You don't think so...
- Yes. - from the daughter's perspective.
I think it was a worry,
but I think they solved the matter.
I think it's a worry.
Actually, how they do from today really matters.
They need to pay attention to it. So that's why.
I'd say it's not a worry.
I think they care for one another a lot,
but they didn't express it in words.
If you think it's a worry from the daughter's perspective,
please press the button.

"Night after Night".
Hello. I'm a mom in my 50s, and I have beautiful daughters...
who are 27, 26, and 20 years old each.
She says her daughters are beautiful.
I feel horrible when I go back home every night.
- Why? - When I go home after work,
My eldest daughter goes...
(The eldest daughter screams.)
And my second daughter screams...
saying, "Let go of me!"
Goodness.
"I won't until I pull out every hair of you!"
"Let me go! I'm telling you. Let me go!"
(The sisters seem to have a fight.)
What I see in front of my eyes is a brutal hand-to-hand fight...
of my grown-up daughters.
- Goodness. - A hand-to-hand fight.
My 1st and 2nd daughters are at each other's throat...
and that drives me crazy.
Whenever they have a fight, the remote control flies over,
and so does pigs' feet too.
They beat each other until dawn.
As they tussling fight each other's hair...
my neighbors complain.
"Please be quiet!"
"What's going on there every dawn?"
Then I go, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I apologize."
Now I'm so getting used to apologize.
I suddenly lost my husband in a car accident...
seven years ago.
My goodness.
I'm raising three daughters by myself.
Do I need to keep watching this?
Those two daughters are giving me such a headache.
Why on earth are they fighting?
That's the story she sent us.
(She desperately wishes her daughters stop fighting.)
Why are they fighting that much?
I have 2 sisters and 1 brother.
And the 3 of us are a year apart in age.
- Goodness. - Three of us,
my older sister, me, and my younger sister really fight a lot.
Things just fly all over,
- and we exchange blows. - Really?
- Do you do that, Eun Young? - Yes.
- We kick each other. - How about these days?
Now, both my older sister and younger sister are married.
- I'm left alone. - Gosh.
- Why did you ask that? - I'm sorry.
You should apologize.
Let's bring a mom...
who has a worry about her two daughters.
Please come out.
(Who's worried about her daughters who have a hand-to-hand fight?)
(Yoo Yeong Soon)
(Welcome.)
Do they really have a hand-to-hand fight?
They're each 26 and 27 years old,
- a year apart in age. - I see.
When I open the door, I hear thuds.
- Starting from a table, - Goodness.
a remote control, and pigs' feet are flying around.
They're fighting, tussling each other's hair.
- That's what they do. - Goodness.
The neighbors downstairs come up wondering what's happening...
and go back after stopping the fight.
Do they stop the fight?
They said they were going to call the police...
as my daughters seemed to fight so seriously.
They thought there was an incident.
What makes them fight?
My second daughter needs to get good sleep, and she's sensitive.
But the first one always watches TV until dawn,
and it sounds so loud.
So the second daughter asks, "Please turn off the TV."
But the first one goes, "No. Get lost. Go and get sleep."
- Goodness. - It sounds like a rap song.
One goes, "Turn off", and the other goes, "Get lost."
Then the second one gets mad,
so she picks up the remote control and turns the TV off.
Then the first one turns on the TV again.
They keep repeating it.
Then they each turn the TV on and off,
and the physical fight starts again.
- Whenever my daughters fight... - You'd feel upset.
I feel so upset that I wonder why I gave birth to such children...
and go through so much hardship.
- Exactly. - I wonder what I am doing here.
I get so emotional,
and I just tear up. I cry for a long time.
I can understand that.
When you see your children fight,
you'd get so upset.
(My daughters don't understand how I feel.)
When the third daughter sees that,
at other places or at home...
Are you asking if she fights at other places?
I thought I made a mistake while saying that.
- Just in case... - Anyway, I mean...
she also needs to relieve her stress somehow.
The third one gets conscious...
when her older sisters fight, but she can't say anything.
So as she's so stressed,
- she made some troubles. - Troubles?
(Goodness)
- That's understandable. - If you see fights a lot,
you unconsciously acquire the fighting techniques.
(Could she acquire it easily?)
As I listen to the story and what she's saying,
I can tell you've been troubled so much,
but you look so beautiful.
People might think you're the eldest daughter.
They do.
Many people say that when we're together.
- She likes it. - They don't ask me...
if I am their mom.
They ask me if I'm their sister.
There are three women sitting over there...
and I assume that they're your daughters.
- All of them look so beautiful. - They are.
- They're so beautiful. - They're so feminine and beautiful.
They don't look like they'd fight at all.
They don't look like they'd have a hand-to-hand fight.
- I know. - Let's meet the daughters first.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
(Who are the two daughters fighting every day?)
(He is surprised.)
Well, we...
She got surprised to see herself on the screen.
They have a lot of hair than I imagined.
Right. She said they pull out each other's hair.
I thought they wouldn't have less hair.
Her hair falls out a lot.
Can you show us the back of your head?
- I want to see the back. - To see if she is bald?
(For the amount of her hair to change, )
(they'd have to fight like this.)
(Has she lost...)
(that much hair?)
- Can you show us? - The back of my head?
- She has a lot of hair. - She has a lot of hair.
Do you really have physical fights?
I don't really want to talk to my little sister.
But she keeps getting on my nerves.
That's why we end up fighting.
Why do you not want to talk to your sister?
We're just too different.
I feel like...
she keeps picking fights.
- You feel that way? - Yes.
So I just try to ignore her.
When I say, "Get lost!" to her,
it's because I don't want to fight with her.
But she would just stand there and keep talking.
Then we fight again.
We raise our voices and... Yes, that's it.
She glanced at her little sister and stopped talking.
- That's interesting. - Still,
- even if she's your sister... - Of course.
If you say, "Get lost!"...
I just want to end the situation.
- You say that on purpose? - To hurt her?
Yes. I want her to just get hurt and leave me alone.
It's not that I want to talk to her.
Until last year, I was studying to become a civil servant.
But my sister kept the TV on...
until 3 or 4 in the morning. She drank too.
So I had to soundproof my room...
and sleep with earplugs.
(That sounds bad.)
The thing is,
the TV wasn't loud at all.
It's just that our apartment is not soundproof.
And my sister would come out...
and start lecturing me.
What does she call you...
when you fight?
- What does she call you? - She says, "Hey!", or "You!"
I do that only when we fight.
And she says a lot of harsh things to me.
Also, I never hit her.
When she grabbed my hair,
I tried to defend myself.
And when she kicked me, I didn't really do anything.
She also borrows...
my clothes without asking me.
And she returns them dirty.
It really upsets me,
but she doesn't even feel bad about it.
I don't consider her my big sister. She's only a year older than me.
(My goodness.)
A lot of sisters fight because of that.
- You've experienced it too. - Yes.
My little sister is a bit sensitive and timid.
Even if there's only a tiny kimchi stain...
(A tiny kimchi stain...)
She thinks...
- it's dirty. - Kimchi stains are hard to remove.
- A kimchi stain is a lot. - It can make me go home.
I change. Some people are like that.
But why would you not apologize for that?
Once while fighting,
she locked my room.
In the end, we even had to call a repairman.
But later we found out...
she had the key to my room.
- I really had no idea. - What?
I had no idea I locked her room. So...
How can you have no idea when you locked it yourself?
- Were you drunk? - Yes.
- I was a bit drunk. - I knew it.
- It's alcohol again. - It's childish.
This really baffled me.
When I was 20, I worked at a bar for about 4 months.
My sister actually recommended that job for me.
- She did? - And when she got angry,
she criticized me for working at a bar.
She said I was filthy.
- After recommending the job? - Yes.
After hearing that,
I didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.
I stopped talking to her for a year.
You recommended that job to your sister.
It sounds...
- I don't... - Is it true?
I suggested that she try it.
- You recommended it. - Yes.
In any case, your little sister...
stopped talking to you for a year.
Wasn't it uncomfortable?
To be honest, it was very nice...
when she didn't talk to me for a year.
I feel like she bullies me.
If we don't talk...
and become strangers, we wouldn't have to fight.
- I thought it was nice too. - You did?
I thought we could continue like that...
- and never talk again. - It was okay?
How did you feel during that year?
They thought it was okay, but I was their messenger.
It was hard. And they completely ignored each other.
It broke my heart.
But they're both grown up.
- They're 27 and 26. - Yes.
Why don't you let them live separately?
Have you thought about it? They fight too much.
My first daughter lived alone...
for 2 to 3 years 4 years ago.
Things were okay during that time,
but when she moved back home,
they started fighting again.
Now my second daughter wants to move out.
She's saving up money.
I want my daughters to get along.
I don't want them to live separately.
Of course.
I always wanted to...
- Live separately? - No.
I wanted to have...
many daughters when I got married.
The thing is,
my mom was the 3rd daughter out of 5.
Visiting my aunts was the best thing in the world.
- Aunts always laughed, - That's right.
and I could play with cousins.
My mom passed away many years ago, though.
That's why I wanted many daughters.
I thought it would bring them so much happiness.
She has three daughters,
but they ignore each other. It'd make her...
- Of course. - It's terrible.
If mom is like this, think about her third daughter too.
She must be strong. She has to be careful.
Do your sisters stress you out?
Of course.
- They... - She does.
Of course.
When I was little, I was scared.
- Of course. - Of course.
So I tried to stop them.
But now I'm grown up. To see two grown-ups...
pulling each other's hair over such trivial things...
I should try to stop them, but I find it so funny.
- "Stop!" - Yes.
Who do you think is...
more responsible for all the fights?
It's different every time.
- It's different every time. - That was a wise answer.
- Good job. - You're smart.
You're very smart.
(It must be hard for you too.)
When you grab someone's hair... It's important.
Sisters would grab like this.
But when you grab a stranger's hair... If you're mean...
You put your hand in and grab the hair.
I want to know what they do. I want to know how they grab it.
(What do they do?)
Like this.
It's the second one.
(It's worse than a morning drama.)
(They fight aggressively.)
- Like this. - Not the first one?
That would tear off the scalp.
- Seriously... - Girls would understand.
Sisters don't normally do that.
(It breaks their mom's heart.)
When did they start...
fighting so aggressively?
It started around when their dad died...
seven years ago.
(When their dad passed away 7 years ago)
- It'd break her heart even more. - Right.
It didn't exactly start then.
My sister has always been hurting me since I was little.
She is too straightforward.
(Her sister is straightforward.)
"You're too rigid. You're boring."
"It's impossible to talk to you. You're too slow."
- "All you can do is study." - She remembers everything.
Hearing all that...
harms my self-esteem. That's why I don't want to talk to her.
When do you think it all started?
I agree that it started around that time.
When our dad passed away,
we had a lot of loans to pay back.
We couldn't really support ourselves.
Mom said she couldn't put both of us through college.
And my sister had a bit better grade.
In the end, I had to start working.
I slept only a couple of hours a day.
In the meantime,
my sister was enjoying her college life.
As if our family had no problem.
Mom was crying every day.
Mom still pays her phone bills.
Those things bother me.
That's what made our relationship worse.
You dropped out of college?
Yes, I dropped out after the first semester.
- What was your major? - Police administration.
- Police administration? - Police administration.
(Scary)
- Police administration! - Police.
What is this?
(What a coincidence.)
After studying so hard to enter the college...
She dropped out.
(That's so sad.)
That's sad.
How do you feel right now?
She finally gave up,
but she heard the word, "police administration" again.
She must want to ask the girl many questions.
(Please share some tips.)
Before my husband passed away,
he gambled a little.
In the end, he had more than 100,000 dollars in debt.
What?
(More than 100,000 dollars in debt)
- 100,000 dollars? - Yes.
I couldn't tell my first daughter she could go to college.
I asked her to start working instead...
and pay her sister's tuition.
- You asked her? - My goodness.
Yes. She earned money...
and paid our living expenses for a year.
- My goodness. - Recently,
she gave me 10,000 dollars in cash.
- Oh, my. - She's amazing.
She told me I should spend it for myself,
- not for her and her sisters. - My goodness.
You know your sister sacrificed for the family.
You still couldn't stand the things she said?
The thing is, I finished college on a scholarship.
They're all amazing. Gosh.
But I think my sister...
could have found a way to finish college too.
- I see. - She just didn't try harder.
- You think so? - She also says harsh things...
not only to me but also to Mom.
- I really... - To Mom?
can't stand it.
So I try to protect Mom.
My first daughter loves coke.
I told her to drink just a little.
And she said, "Why do you care?"
Why did she even give you 10,000 dollars?
Why does she say those things?
(It hurts me.)
I just want to be left alone.
It's not that I say harsh things.
I just end the conversation.
- So that they stop talking? - "Don't say anything more."
You don't want to listen to your mom or sister?
No.
Why?
You might do that to your sister.
But why do you not want to listen to your mom?
She has always...
favored my sister.
- She has? - She always scolds only me.
I was very little. I was about six.
One day, Mom gave me the fees for my private classes.
My sister wanted to carry it.
Mom let her carry it.
And then...
she lost it on the way.
- My gosh. - It was a very cold day.
After sending my sister home,
for a couple of hours...
- You looked for it? - Yes.
I looked for it. When I came back home...
and told Mom about it,
she started beating me.
- She beat you? - While I was beaten up,
my sister was eating.
- Oh, my. - Oh, no.
But your sister lost it.
Yes, she lost it.
I was...
Your sister remembers everything. I'm sure she remembers this too.
Was she too little?
- She was 5. - She was 5.
- Do you remember it? - Yes.
(I remember it.)
- You remember it? - I knew it.
Tell us.
(The fight begins again.)
(Please stop.)
- Let's see how she remembers it. - I think it's true.
"I'm so jealous."
"I want to carry that important thing."
You even remember exactly what you said?
- I said... - Even though she was five?
It's true I carried it...
and lost it on the way.
But my sister didn't look for it for two hours.
She went home with me.
I didn't eat. I waited for her outside...
in the cold.
You remember it differently.
- It's different. - Let's see what Mom remembers.
- Their mom. - Their mom.
If she got too angry...
She might not remember it.
- She might not remember it. - She might not remember it.
She was too busy.
I remember it roughly.
My second daughter has a personality like mine,
so I liked her.
But my first daughter...
- You favored her. - You favored her.
(She admits it.)
Her first daughter is shocked.
Ask your mom to return your 10,000 dollars.
You should.
Her mom said she liked her second daughter more.
But my first daughter is too much like her dad.
I hated her.
(She is not fair.)
What did she do wrong?
I can see why your first daughter felt that way.
My second daughter was always...
a good student. She won a lot of prizes.
My first daughter must have been jealous.
- She'd tear all of them up. - She was jealous.
She'd even hide them.
My sister winning prizes makes me happy too.
But Mom would lay them out in front of me and...
- She compared you two? - She compared us.
"Look at this."
- Ma'am. - What did she say?
"Look at this. Do you see this?"
"What are you doing? You're her older sister."
- When your sister won prizes, - I tore them up.
you got scolded.
- Yes. - That's right.
(It's just an excuse.)
Their youngest sister would know it accurately.
- She's a third party. - Please be objective.
Does Mom favor your second eldest sister?
Yes.
It's definitely true.
By the way,
who does your mom say you take after?
I take after both Mom and Dad.
(Both Mom and Dad)
- Like fried chicken? - Both.
(She loves peace.)
(She is wise.)
Your two daughters...
have fallen out,
and it seems like...
- you played a part in it. - She definitely did.
Yes, I feel bad about it.
My first daughter makes me sad.
She drinks 2 or 3 pitchers of beer...
every night.
She likes drinking.
Yes. One night while drinking,
- she coughed into a tissue, - Blood?
and there was blood.
She coughed up blood.
What breaks my heart even more is,
she says, "I just want to drink as much as I want to and die."
- "Sign up for life insurance." - Oh, my.
She says inappropriate things.
She doesn't even mean it.
She does that more when she drinks.
- She does that more. - Yes.
Do you think your sister changes...
when she drinks?
She is fine when she is not drinking.
I see.
But she drinks every night,
so something happens every night.
I don't understand why they blame everything on me.
I really don't understand.
(There is another fight on the way.)
(You should change.)
I drink quietly...
while watching TV or movies.
Why...
It's bad for your health.
She must be worried.
I work out.
I walk around...
Everyone walks around.
You drank so much...
that you couldn't even remember if you locked the room or not.
- That's right. - If your child is...
doing that, what kind of mom would like that?
(What kind of parent would like that?)
- Right. - So...
you shouldn't say,
"What's wrong about it?"
You still want to drink?
I can't really resist it.
If you get sick,
how would your family feel?
I don't think they'd care.
No way.
You don't think they'd care? Why?
[VIU Ver] E408 Hello Counselor "The Meaning of a Family" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(Emotional)
She has some pent-up emotions.
Talk about it.
- They don't understand. - Why...
do you think your family wouldn't care?
(She's been hurt more than her family thinks.)
Even though she's not saying anything,
we can feel from her tears.
- She's been lonely. - She's been doubting...
- if she has a place in her family. - She's been very lonely.
She feels lonely.
Your sister is crying because she feels...
her family wouldn't care even if something happens to her.
Is that true?
No.
What if something happens to her?
It'd break my heart.
(She cares about her big sister.)
But she doesn't like me.
She hates me.
(Is it still another fight?)
(Guys, please stop.)
(They keep blaming the other.)
Like Mom favors me,
my big sister favors my little sister.
They always eat together.
When I say, "What about me?",
she says, "Are you a child or what?"
I don't think she cares about me at all.
Do you not...
love your little sister?
- It's too... - It's awkward.
Exactly.
Apologize for that question!
- She feels hurt. - What is that?
She thinks her sister doesn't care about her.
Leave those two alone.
(How will they understand each other?)
Are you ready?
- Yes. - Why did you think...
your family wouldn't care even if you got sick?
When I'm with my mom and little sister...
and we start fighting, Mom always says,
"You just have to disappear from this family."
Then my little sister says,
"You just have to move out."
"You're the problem in this family."
That's why...
(I just have to disappear.)
- That's why. - You think...
- you should move out? - Yes.
(I said that because I was angry.)
What kind of family do you want to live in?
I want my family to stop comparing me with anyone...
and to protect me.
I want them to tell me it's not my fault.
"It's not your fault."
"It's been hard, right? It's not your fault."
That's what you want to hear.
(She wants to hear loving words from her mom.)
(She wants to be comforted and apologized to.)
What do you want to hear from your little sister?
"It's my fault."
"I don't remember it."
- "I don't remember it." - "I don't remember it."
"What are you talking about?"
I want her to stop nitpicking.
"Let's talk later."
(She wants to be left alone when she's tired.)
When I'm in a bad mood...
Don't you want to...
go to a movie or go shopping with your little sister?
- Yes. - Right?
You wouldn't sit back if someone hits your sister.
- Of course, not. - Right.
(Really?)
(They'll work it out.)
You haven't had any real conversation lately, have you?
No.
Is there something...
you haven't been able to apologize for because of your pride?
(Can you apologize to each other sincerely?)
Look at your sister.
You're both so pretty.
(They are feeling awkward.)
It's so awkward.
(It's making everyone feel awkward.)
(Forget your pride.)
After recommending that job to you, I shouldn't have said that.
I'm sorry.
Why did I do that? I'm sorry.
- She took up the courage. - Good job.
I'm sorry...
I say too many harsh things.
There's something I really want to be apologized for.
(Gosh)
(I knew it.)
There's something I really want to be apologized for.
There is? Tell us.
You...
You're very stubborn too.
- I understand... - Go ahead.
You still have a lot of hair left?
The thing is...
Go ahead. Tell her what it is.
When I didn't get into the college I wanted, you said,
"All you can do is study..."
- "And you failed..." - "and you even failed at that."
You laughed at me like that.
"Mom would be so disappointed."
You said it like that, and it hurt me so much.
So I'd like you to apologize for that.
I guess I did that.
(She's at a loss for words.)
(I guess I did.)
- But... - This is entertaining.
She's definitely different.
- Right. - But I'm sure I didn't...
- mean it. - Right.
I'm sure I was struggling with something else.
- Right. - I'm truly sorry about that.
(I'm sorry for hurting you.)
Goodness.
(That's how you make up.)
- Then... - You should say something back.
I'm sure you were tired after work.
I'm sorry went and kept talking to you.
I should've been more considerate.
I was too upset at that time.
I'm sorry.
(She sincerely apologizes.)
("Sorry" seems to be the hardest word.)
(They may still be awkward with each other, )
(but if they continue to acknowledge their mistakes...)
(and be better to each other, they'll become closer.)
That's great. Please give them a round of applause.
(We hope you make up.)
From the way I see it,
I'd like to applaud for the older sister.
Because quitting school of one's own will is different.
She didn't do it because she got tired of it.
She did it for her family and that requires so much courage.
(It took a lot of courage.)
I'm sure that...
after she quit, she didn't know what to do.
She worked every day, sleeping for only an hour.
She probably had no time for friends...
or to do any hobbies.
If you thanked your sister...
and if you cheered her on,
she'd do anything for her family.
You're right.
You deserve to be applauded for that.
(You did well.)
(Through encouragement and comfort, become her driving force.)
Lastly, do you have anything to say to your daughters?
I wish she would drink less.
You want her to say yes.
She's only concerned about the daughter.
I'll be more attentive and give you more love.
I'm truly sorry.
(She apologizes to her daughter.)
(It's a heartfelt apology.)
Mom.
I don't need anything else but my family.
(Her family matters the most to her.)
Mom... Darn it.
(What?)
Mom... Darn it.
(Did you just swear?)
- What did she say? - They're surprised.
- They are. - Did she just curse?
She's so emotional.
I'll try to cut down.
(She'll try to drink less.)
(She finally smiles.)
I love you.
(We hope you become a family...)
(that doesn't blame each other...)
(but knows how to embrace each other's wounds.)
(We hope you only make good memories from now on.)
Let's start with Park Gi Ru. Is it a worry or not?
I believe it is.
I also think it's a worry.
I believe that their understanding and love...
- They'll become closer. - will create a synergy.
I think the eldest daughter is going through the most.
She's been burdened too much.
- I think it's a worry. - Okay.
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.

My goodness.
This one's called "A Dreadful Love".
"Love"?
Hello.
I'm a working mom in 30s with two daughters.
I wonder if anyone else has this kind of a worry.
"It's the weekends. Should we visit your parents?"
"Again? Do we have to?"
"Yes, we do. Let's go."
Why do I not want to see my parents?
My husband doesn't want to see my parents.
He just wants to have...
the food they sell in Chungju where my parents live.
My goodness.
"This is so good."
"This is the best place ever."
(She is curious.)
"I can't believe this."
My husband is obsessed...
- with... - What is it?
sundae soup and rice.
"Honey, shall we have sundae soup and rice tonight?"
"I don't want that. Can we please eat something else?"
"You don't have to eat. Just sit next to me."
"My daughter, you're okay with sundae soup and rice, right?"
"No, I don't want it."
"All right, then. Let's go!"
There are so many delicious foods,
so why does it always have to be sundae soup and rice?
(Calling)
- He's good. - "Honey, where are you?"
"My mother has prepared a feast for you."
"What? I'm at the sundae soup and rice restaurant."
"Tell her nicely for me that I can't come."
"I guess your husband doesn't like my dishes."
- I'm sure she's hurt. - My husband has fallen...
in a dreadful love. Can you please stop him?
(Please break up with sundae soup and rice.)
Exactly how obsessed is he, and how tasty is it?
It must be extreme for her to ask us for help.
When I like a dish, I have it for months.
I eat it until I get sick of it. Afterward, I don't have it anymore.
- Then I eat something else. - This is all I can think about.
That left a strong impression.
How do you act when you have something tasty?
(Will she be able to look cute?)
It's delicious.
(It's not a problem for her.)
- She's so brazen. - She is.
You're totally right.
- Goodness. - Well done.
Please come on out.
(Who is this wife who's suffering from her husband's love?)
(Seo Jin Young)
(Welcome)
How extreme is his love for it?
It's a serious worry for me.
We went to the same elementary school.
- You are? - Yes. Our hometown...
is Chungju, North Chungcheong-do. My in-laws are there...
- And your family as well. - as well as my parents.
- We go there 2 to 3 times a month. - That's quite often.
Every time we go there, we have to go to the market...
and have sundae soup and rice.
Where do you live?
We live in Jincheon, North Chungcheong-do.
- Jincheon? - It's an hour's drive from Chungju.
I see.
The problem is, my husband always wants...
me and my kids to go with him.
But our kids are still young.
Of course, they don't. They're too young to like it.
You're right.
He says I just need to sit beside him.
He is happy with that.
- But... - He only cares about himself?
I guess so.
But it's possible to eat with him, don't you think?
Of course, I can. But when we visit my parents,
my mom prepares a meal for us.
- She makes a stew. - She prepares a feast.
It's not that big of a feast, but she does put in her effort.
She makes new side dishes as well.
But my husband calls me...
and asks if he can eat sundae soup and rice.
When I tell him that my mom has prepared food for us,
he says that for the past week,
he was dying to have it.
- How good is it? - He wants me to tell my mom.
- She'll be disappointed. - Right.
She's not upfront about her feelings,
- but of course, I feel bad. - Of course.
You should scold your husband.
I do.
But I know how stressed he is about work.
I see.
But you work as well.
Yes, I'm stressed as well.
- You both work? - Yes.
- She's a working mom. - Oh, right.
- You read it out loud. - Yes, I did.
I'm weak when it comes to English.
- I'm bad at English. - So...
if we don't have enough time or since he knows I don't like it,
- so he offers to ask for take-out. - Right.
But then, our car will smell of it.
And if we re-heat it at home, I'd have to take care...
- of it afterward. - Right.
Who knew that sundae soup and rice would torment you so much?
Let's meet your husband.
It's him, right?
He looks like sundae to me.
- He looks kind. - I'm sorry about that.
Hello.
(It's nice to meet you.)
It took nine years of airing this show...
for a worry about sundae soup and rice to appear.
Do you understand her worry?
Yes, I do.
But I think everyone should have the right to eat...
- whatever they want. - I see.
You can eat alone or bring someone who likes it.
- Why do you always ask her? - Right.
I have hope that if I keep bringing her there,
she may gradually start eating it.
And maybe one day, she'll understand why I like it so much.
That part, I can understand.
You wish your entire family would have it together, right?
- You want them to like it too. - Yes, I do.
A long time ago on Children's Day, I brought my kids...
to a fermented skate restaurant.
- With your kids? - My goodness.
I wished my kids would know how good it tasted.
- I can understand you. - I see.
You force them to go. If you order take out,
she doesn't like it because the car would smell.
But you see, that smell doesn't last forever.
It will slowly fade away. And on my way home,
- I am exhilarated to eat it. - You are.
I can't wait to have it.
My goodness.
- I really love it as well. - Gosh, me too.
Do you especially like that restaurant...
or all sundae soup and rice?
I've tried it at other restaurants as well.
But the one is Chungju's sundae soup and rice...
isn't just plain beef leg bone broth.
They boil pork bones...
- and add dried radish greens. - Dried radish greens?
- Yes. - How unique.
The soup is filled with ingredients.
- When you take a bite, - Look at her.
it doesn't just taste like pork.
It tastes like home.
- Like home? - Yes.
Since when did you like it?
I had it for the first time in second grade...
because my parents worked in the market.
Since then, I frequented the market.
It's my healing food.
- You don't get tired of it. - My goodness.
- He is loyal to that dish. - However,
when your mother-in-law cooks for you,
you should eat at her place...
- and compliment her dishes. - That's right.
But I only eat sundae soup and rice...
when I visit Chungju.
You should stretch your stomach...
so that you can eat her dishes as well as sundae soup and rice.
- That's right. - You should do that.
Give up on sundae soup and rice if you don't have that talent.
- Eat twice. - Talent!
- If your stomach can't handle it... - Jin Young said...
- he does that sometimes. - He has two meals.
- Two meals. - Then you are qualified.
- He is qualified. - You are qualified.
(Yeong Ja's acknowledgment makes him smile.)
Let's hear from his mother-in-law.
Is she his mother-in-law?
- Yes. - She looks so young.
(She has a baby face.)
- My goodness. - Thank you for coming.
Are people in the household required to have that hairstyle?
- It matches... - The hairstyle.
your daughter's hairstyle.
It's the KBS hairstyle.
(It's a good hairstyle.)
The KBS hairstyle.
Did you know that he eats sundae soup and rice beforehand?
I didn't know at first, but I found out eventually.
In the morning, he goes,
"I will go and wash the car."
"I will go to the church."
Then he goes and eats sundae soup and rice.
(He doesn't know what to say.)
When your son-in-law...
prefers restaurant food over your food,
don't you get disappointed?
I get very disappointed.
They say a man is the most loved by his mother-in-law.
When he comes over on the weekend,
I make him tasty dishes.
What do you make?
One time, I bought a rockfish.
- A rockfish. - You wanted him to eat something...
he doesn't normally eat.
I bought a rockfish and made a clear soup,
but he left to wash his car in the morning...
and came back after eating sundae soup and rice.
He didn't care about rockfish.
On the other hand,
I know that eating the food you want brings you happiness.
- That's right. - Right.
"He must like the dish very much."
Sometimes, I understand.
Sometimes, I am disappointed.
How is your husband's taste?
(Well...)
My husband is...
as bad as my son-in-law.
(They are nervous.)
(What could it be?)
He loves potatoes so much.
Potatoes?
- Potatoes? - Yes.
He eats a potato side dish three times a day,
365 days a year.
- He must have a potato side dish. - Yes.
That's how much he likes potatoes.
When we have a fight,
he goes, "You didn't even make me potato dish dishes."
He says that.
- My goodness. - He says that.
He talks about potatoes in the middle of a fight.
He doesn't complain about food...
as long as there is a potato.
(These women suffer because of their husbands' tastes.)
Since your husband likes it so much,
you could let him have it when he goes to Chungju.
It will be most convenient.
Even when we don't visit the families,
he goes to Chungju.
He tells me to rest at home...
and takes the children outside.
I asked them where they went.
My older daughter read about the Tiger Rock...
in the mountain.
It's in Chungju,
so he took the children there...
- That must have been nice. - to see the rock in person.
- Then... - Then he had...
sundae soup and rice since he was in the area.
When I asked him what the children ate,
he said, "They were full."
"They had so many snacks and drinks in the car..."
"that they didn't want a meal."
(Yeong Ja spotted the children.)
- There wasn't food for children. - The more I see the boy,
the more he resembles Yang Se Hyeong.
- The boy. - He is so cute.
(Let's see you.)
- He resembles Se Hyeong. - He resembles Si An.
- He is handsome. - Si An.
- He resembles Si An when he smiles. - The girl is pretty, too.
He resembles Se Hyeong when he frowns.
Let's say hello to the children.
Hello, I am a seven-year-old, Shin Ju Ah.
- Hello, Ju Ah. - Hello.
Hello, I am a six-year-old,
- Shin Ji Woo. - What?
- Shin Ji Woo. - How cute!
How old are you?
Six.
You should use complete sentences.
(It's okay because he is cute.)
Ju Ah, what does your dad like the most?
Sundae.
(It's obvious.)
- She knows. - Have you been...
to the sundae soup and rice restaurant with your dad?
Yes.
Have you had it?
I have had one.
- One. - How did it taste?
It was brown and round.
- It was brown and round. - Brown and round.
- It's sundae. - Do you like it...
when Dad takes you to eat sundae soup and rice?
I don't like it.
(It's not tasty.)
He took them by force.
You didn't want to go.
Does he enjoy the dish?
- How does he eat? - He eats like this.
How does he eat?
(She shows the white of her eyes.)
(He isn't throwing up.)
It's because it's hot.
Do it slowly. How does he eat?
(Like this)
(It's an encore performance.)
- It must be tasty. - Seriously.
That's how he eats it.
- That's hilarious. - What is your favorite dish?
Pho.
- Pho. - Pho.
- Pho. - She likes pho.
Not many children know about pho.
She had it ever since she was one year old.
- One year old? - Yes.
You like it, right?
Yes.
Why didn't you ask your dad to go...
to a pho restaurant...
when he asked you what you want?
I did ask him once,
but he wanted to eat sundae soup and rice.
He ignored his daughter's request.
That's right.
Ji Woo, have you had sundae soup and rice?
(Nodding)
How was it?
It tasted weird.
- It tasted weird. - I thought he liked it.
"It tasted weird."
When your dad wants to go and eat sundae soup and rice,
how do you feel?
I don't like it.
How does your dad eat sundae soup and rice?
(He looks up.)
- His eyes did everything. - Seriously.
The moment he eats sundae...
(The taste makes the white of their eyes show.)
- He makes this face. - That's right.
- He loves it. - He needs to go to that restaurant.
- He needs to go. - Just how do you eat...
that both of your children roll back their eyes?
I don't look at myself when I eat.
I focus on the food.
- I am sure some people... - He's focused on the food.
realized...
- the smell of food. - The smell.
Is this the smell of the dish?
It's the dish that the husband loves.
I see.
The production crew ordered a takeout...
from a market in Chungju.
I thought it was the smell of ramyeon.
- It looks tasty. - It looks tasty.
It's a homely meal.
The table is, too.
(It's a dreadful love of the husband.)
My goodness.
Look at the rice.
If you want it to be spicy,
you should add the sauce.
- Do you like it spicy? - Yes.
It's not something children would enjoy.
Try it.
Let's see if his eyes roll back.
(How is the taste of sundae soup and rice...)
(that makes your eyes roll back?)
My mouth is watering.
He said his mouth is watering.
You eat it like this.
(Slurping)
- Zoom in on his eyes. - This restaurant is good.
(It looks delicious.)
Like this.
(She is eating.)
- Zoom in on his eyes. - This restaurant is good.
I can't see because his eyes are small.
This restaurant is good.
It's really tasty.
Your children have no taste. Why don't they like this dish?
(The siblings are confused.)
Why don't they like the dish?
(He is busy eating.)
My goodness.
- It's tasty. - This restaurant is good.
(Everyone compliments the dish.)
It's tasty.
When it rains, you should have a bottle of soju with it.
(It looks like you become confident.)
It's completely different from...
- the usual sundae soup and rice. - It's different.
- Really? - It's completely different.
It's like dried radish green soup with a sundae.
- Really? - It's completely different.
- Don't imagine that taste. - For goodness' sake.
I wasn't going to eat since I am on a diet.
For goodness' sake. Move out of the way.
You have to try it.
It's tasty.
You should have gone here when you were dating your wife.
(It's painful to watch.)
It's tasty.
I understood Jin Young before I tried the dish.
Now... My goodness.
- I understand Jin Young's husband. - That's right.
Thank you.
My goodness.
(Is it that tasty?)
It's tasty.
(This is a truthful eating show.)
My goodness.
Why don't they like the dish?
All right.
(They inhale the dish.)
You ate the entire bowl.
Is there anyone in the audience who wants to try the dish?
- Me! - Me!
Really?
Does everyone want to try it?
- It's really tasty. - Chang Hee.
- It's really tasty. - "Chang Hee."
(Chang Hee becomes popular thanks to sundae soup and rice.)
(Sharing food doubles the fun.)
(This is incredible.)
(She eats...)
(and eats.)
Let's hear from a few people in the audience...
who had the sundae soup and rice.
I like soup and rice.
- Okay. - Okay.
- This one is really tasty. - It's spicy.
- It makes me crave for soju. - It craves you for soju.
Two people behind him who are enjoying the dish.
I don't usually eat sundae soup and rice,
but this one is nice.
The one who doesn't eat thinks it's nice.
Now that we know the taste,
we understand the matter a bit more.
What is he like at home?
He likes late night snacks.
So sundae soup and rice isn't the only problem.
Sundae soup and rice is his healing food...
while late night snacks are his daily food.
Daily food.
- Daily food. - Yes.
He just likes to eat.
I am jealous of him.
His only joy in life is...
to watch a variety show.
He particularly likes...
"Reply 1988".
To him, eating food...
and watching a variety show he likes is...
more enjoyable than spending time with me.
It upsets me.
It upsets you.
Why don't you put the children to bed...
and join him?
I bought chicken feet and suggested that...
we eat them together when the children are asleep.
When I went outside...
- He was already eating. - He was already eating.
He was done.
I was so angry and upset.
I wanted to eat chicken feet.
I had bought them, too.
- Of course, you get upset. - He had promised.
Since both of us work,
we are constantly tired. When she falls asleep,
I feel sorry to wake her up just so she can eat with me.
Be honest with us.
Your wife suspects it as much.
You are the happiest when you watch "Reply 1988"...
and eat late night snacks alone, right?
Be honest with us.
To be honest, it makes me happy.
When can your wife have a happy time?
Your wife wants...
to have conversations with you.
That's a healing time for her.
Even when you only have trivial things to talk about,
it's important to share them.
That's right. That's having a conversation.
I don't want him to ask about family events and children.
I want him to ask about me.
- That's right. "How was your day?" - That's important.
"What did you have for lunch? I had such-and-such."
- She is curious. - Just like the time we dated.
How was he when you dated him?
One day, I told him that I want grilled sweet potatoes.
He looked everywhere in the neighborhood...
and got firewood and iron plate...
- Did he found that himself? - to make a grilled sweet potato.
It wasn't tasty. It wasn't fully cooked.
- It wasn't fully cooked. - Still, it was touching.
- Back then... - He was like that.
- That's right. Now... - He became...
a frustrating man.
(He became a frustrating man who only loves food.)
Do you know your wife's favorite late night snack?
She likes LA ribs.
- Is he right? - LA ribs?
Yes.
He knows your favorite dish. What else?
He asked me earlier.
(She reveals the truth.)
He asked her earlier!
- He got prepared. - Why did you do that?
I was like, "Why do you ask?"
He never asked you those questions before.
He goes to have a healing time with his healing food...
for 30 minutes or an hour.
During that time, I have to...
do everything alone.
- You are tied to the children. - Yes.
I told him,
"When you come home after work, you see that..."
"the children are fed, the sink is clear,"
"and the laundry has been done, and the house is tidy."
"Don't take those things for granted."
"I worked without sitting down once..."
"to achieve those things." I told him that.
You want him to know...
before you say that.
- It would be nice. - "You worked hard all day."
"When did you clean the house so nicely?"
- Right. - As soon as you open the door, go,
"My goodness."
"My goodness." Say that.
Do it as a joke if you must.
My wife's words...
make me see that...
she does many things that aren't easily noticeable.
I think this misunderstanding arose...
- I know. - because I failed to see that.
I will make an effort...
so that she won't be disappointed.
Her husband has a nice personality.
People would agree that he doesn't have a problem,
- but wife wants his heart. - That's right.
When you have a healing time,
she wants you to share it with her.
She wants to enjoy it together.
She wants to enjoy a healing time together.
That's right.
Tell your husband what you want one last time.
Think about your health and eat less late night snacks.
I hope you would express your love...
more enthusiastically.
Are you okay with words? How is he with physical affection?
- He isn't bad. - I see.
(He does everything he needs to do.)
All right. When you eat sundae soup and rice,
eat what your family likes the next time, okay?
Okay. I will eat it less and make an effort...
- to find a dish... - That's good.
the entire family can enjoy.
It has been a while since we had this kind of a worry.
I love that it's like a first world problem.
- A first world problem! - I love it.
- They are a happy family. - Food is important.
I'm jealous. Go back and forth.
Do what you like once and do what the family likes once.
- Okay. That's good. - Okay.
Let's start with Dong Han.
I think it's a worry.
- Okay. - Okay.
- I tried sundae soup and rice. - It's tasty.
I don't think he can cut back on it,
but he needs to do what his family likes.
I think they should think of it...
as a happy worry.
I hope it's not a worry.
I don't think it's a worry.
I think it's a worry.
That's what a family is.
A family eats together.
I hope you will be more understanding of each other.
