(This program is a documentary that captures the journey of...)
(two renowned show hosts, who were once beloved by the entire nation,)
(looking for someone to feed them dinner.)
(The warm sunlight shines brightly on Hanyangdoseong-gil.)
There are fortress walls surrounding the center of the city.
Do you see how they're all around us?
- Yes. It's amazing. - This is...
the oldest castle town in the world.
- This place? - Yes.
Many invasions occurred in the past.
(It's the biggest and oldest castle town.)
This is my first time here.
I'm very familiar with this neighborhood.
Because you did ssireum?
Yes. If you go straight down,
- there's the Jangchung Arena. - Right.
Lee Man Ki was the first man of great strength.
And I also became the last man of great strength there.
Right. Dongguk University is very near that arena.
- Right. - Yes.
You're familiar with this place too.
That's my university.
(Fortress trail, Dongguk University, Jangchung Arena)
Touch this.
Can you feel the history?
I can.
It must've been so difficult to build this.
I bet.
Right. They built this manually.
They had no machines back then.
Right, they carried the stones one by one.
Acting is just acting.
- What was that? - Don't hate me too much...
for playing the villain.
What is she blabbering about?
Be quiet!
My name isn't Me A Ri.
I'm Yoon Ji Ni.
Due to the great weather, there are many kooks.
Please look at me.
Right? It's because of the weather.
They go up there and...
During last year's Acting Awards,
I failed to thank my parents because I was too nervous.
I'm sorry about that.
He must've left out mentioning his parents during his speech.
He's not filial.
Thank you so much...
for raising me and watching me act.
Jangchung Arena is down that way.
- Right. - It's over there.
I love you, Mom and Dad.
- Is someone there? - Oh, my.
- Hello. - Hello, actor Park.
Actor Park. Hello, actor Yoon.
Yes, it's me.
She played the role of a realistic sister...
in a drama that received 50-percent viewer ratings.
(The drama was watched by 50 percent of the population.)
Thanks to her bubbly acting,
she made a successful debut...
and introduced a character named Me A Ri to the people.
Recently, she played the role of a villain...
named Jang Da Ya...
and infuriated the viewers.
She is Yoon Ji Ni, an adorable villain.
(Park Sung Hoon is busy acting.)
He was called the idol of theaters...
due to his acting skills and handsome face.
Could you wait for me?
He played the role of Jang Go Rae, a romantic man,
and showed the viewers his sweet side.
Everyone wants Park Sung Hoon to become their son-in-law.
(Actor Park Sung Hoon)
These two guests have visited the show.
(Yoon Ji Ni, Park Sung Hoon)
- Weren't you two siblings? - Yes, you're right.
Wasn't it a daily drama?
- It was a weekend drama. - Right, I see.
Come on. Soo Jong was in it.
I know that.
Park Soo Jong... No, I mean Choi Soo Jong...
- was in it. - "Park Soo Jong"?
He'll be disappointed to hear that.
It's a drama where...
Soo Jong goes around looking for his father.
- You're correct. - I know the story.
Up until now, the most frightening character for me...
was Ye Suh of "Sky Castle".
But she's even more frightening.
(She's the infamous Jang Da Ya.)
She doesn't look wicked at all.
Her character was so scary.
- It was just my role. - She was just acting.
She acted out her character so well.
- Were you hated for your role? - Very much.
She doesn't look wicked.
- What? - People around me asked...
whether or not she is truly evil in real life.
(It's just my role.)
Lee Ji Ni.
- Yoon Ji Ni. - I mean, Yoon Jin.
No, Yoon Ji Ni. Your name is difficult to pronounce.
- Just called me Ji Ni. - Okay.
Ji Ni, please read this out loud.
"Have dinner in Dasan-dong, Seoul."
- Let's go! - Let's go!
Today's neighborhood is...
Dasan-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul.
(Dasan-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul)
At the foot of Mount Nam, this fortress trail...
with 600 years of history surrounds the area.
The nature's scenery...
and beautiful houses create a harmony.
What kinds of people will they meet...
in this diverse neighborhood of Dasan-dong?
Dining Together, episode 125,
"My Only Fate".
(Episode 125: "My Only Fate")
This is your first time...
meeting Kyung Kyu and me, right?
- Yes. - Yes.
You've never passed by us either.
- No. - No, never.
Those who appear for the first time...
feel nervous and pressured to show us something.
They usually prepare special talents.
- That's right. - Yes.
Do you have any?
No.
- No? - But he does.
(She hands over the baton.)
- Okay. - He does.
Come to the center.
(We've caught you.)
I'm not sure if I should do this.
What is it?
(He finds a place to sit.)
Well...
(Everyone is prepared to watch.)
- You shouldn't be too far away. - It's all right.
- It's not going to be loud, - That's okay.
- so you need to be near. - It's okay.
I'm going to mimic Song Kang Ho from "The Drug King".
Be on standby!
Are you ready?
All right, everyone. Be quiet.
Be quiet, drone!
Let us see your talent. Ready.
Action.
I fed my country.
(Glancing)
(Was that it?)
(Do I need to say, "cut" already?)
If you watch this on TV, it'll sound...
- very similar. - It was.
- What? - It was similar.
(And so, we've prepared this footage.)
(This country needs me. I fed my country.)
This country needs me.
I fed my country.
Say it once again.
I fed my country.
(It sounds similar.)
"I fed my country."
(He has dust on his bottom.)
My goodness.
I think we should dust it for him.
(He does it on his own.)
This is great.
Look at this. My goodness.
It's great.
- It's wonderful. - I know.
(They are mesmerized by the scenery below the fortress walls.)
I had no idea there was a place like this in the middle of the city.
- I know. - Yes.
- That's Mount Nam. - We're across from it.
This is the Dulle-gil.
Who knew there'd be a walking trail...
in the middle of the city?
(The fortress walls stretch out from the Dasan Pavilion.)
(Excursion Trail of Hanyangdoseong)
The people can take a rest...
in this nature.
(Dasan Fortress Walls)
My, the view from up here is breathtaking.
- I'm reminded of war times. - It's over there.
Did you fight in a war?
A war?
- Kyung Kyu. - Are you that old?
- Kyung Kyu. - Yes?
They didn't build this as a tourist attraction.
- This is real. - Yes.
Really?
- They shot through this hole. - Yes.
(The fortress walls were built to protect the capital.)
- This is great. - It is.
Did you know that this place existed?
I didn't.
- Such a place existed. - Right.
Look at those flower snows.
- That's what they call them. - When the petals fall?
Yes, when the cherry blossoms fall.
They look like popcorn.
(The cherry blossoms look like popcorn.)
(The cherry blossoms should get paid for their consecutive appearances.)
With the slightest wind, they all fall down.
(He's sentimental once again.)
- They're pretty. - They are.
They'll wither away soon.
- They'll wither away soon? - Yes.
- Do you know what they mean? - What?
You're the hint.
Pureness?
Villain.
"Villain"?
(They're all full of laughter.)
Guys, look to your left. Aren't they gorgeous?
Right next to this beautiful nature...
is the scenery of the city.
This is the perk of this trail.
This is mugwort!
- Mugwort? - That's mugwort?
You can make mugwort soup out of it.
Mugwort soup
- Mugwort soup - Mugwort soup
If you're hungry, you can eat
Mugwort soup
(Irritated)
- This is a magnolia. - It's a spoonful.
This place is so nice, Kyung Kyu.
You've never been here before.
That's enough.
If it's that great, you should've come here sooner.
- Right? - It's...
- because... - I told you about this place,
but you never came here. I come here 2 to 3 times a year.
- But... - He's too talkative.
- He killed Ho Dong's innocence. - He's very realistic.
- He is. - It's not that.
I'm just telling you the truth.
This is Dasan-dong.
We tend to name streets...
after the pen names of great individuals from the past.
Right.
Such as after Yi Hwang and Yi Sun Sin,
many streets were named after influential individuals.
Dasan-ro was named after Jeong Yak Yong.
The neighborhood closest to Dasan-ro was named Dasan-dong.
The weather is nice.
- It is. - It's great!
This is great. You're the lady of spring.
- You look like it. - I'm the spring lady.
Do you become sentimental during springtime?
I should put a flower in here.
It's great.
- I get butterflies in my stomach. - Do you?
I want to go on a date.
Ji Ni is saying that she wants to take a walk...
around this place with someone she loves.
Yes. That's the best thing to do during springtime.
I'm guessing you have a boyfriend.
I wish I did.
(She is not duped.)
Where are your manners?
She must've been so flustered.
Are you married?
(Let me show you how it should be done.)
(Kyung Kyu knows how to ask personal questions.)
My goodness.
(He's so brazen.)
He's so direct.
I was married once.
- You were? - In a drama.
- Not in real life? - As Da Ya.
- Not in real life? - No.
How old do I look?
23 or 24.
- 23? - Yes.
(Happy)
23?
You really look like...
you're 23 years old.
But were you born...
in 1979?
You went too far.
- What? - 1979 is too far.
(Ho Dong fails to keep his manners once again.)
You're very bubbly.
- Thank you. - You are.
How old do I look?
You look like you're in your early 30s.
What I know about Sung Hoon...
is that his girlfriend is older than him.
I...
My gosh.
No one's filming me talking.
This hurts my feelings. How could no one film me?
(Here comes the drone.)
- No one's filming me. - Oh, I see.
The drone will film me.
(He feels reassured.)
They pass Dulle-gil...
and head toward the residential area.
(The four individuals walk towards the residential area of Dasan-dong.)
Look.
There are various housing styles.
There are many villas.
(The majority of the houses are villas.)
- That one looks nice. - It does.
It looks luxurious.
This house looks like a piece of art.
It's a villa as well.
- It is? - Yes, it is.
(The owner's artistic skills can be seen through the villa.)
There's a parking lot inside.
It's quite deep.
Maybe a celebrity lives here.
(She spots a mini-van and makes this assumption.)
My gosh.
(She's embarrassed by what she's said.)
I'm sorry.
(Embarrassed)
Look at this gate.
The iron gate looks intimidating.
(I'm made of wood.)
That's a flower garden.
My goodness.
I can't believe this.
The flowers are peeking out.
I can't believe this is a natural color.
How fascinating.
There are...
huge houses,
- And villas. - villas,
- and multiplexes. - There's a variety.
- Yes. - You're right.
I think the residents in this neighborhood vary...
from 10 to 100 years of age.
All age groups are living here.
That's right.
(There are various housing styles.)
- Ji Ni. - Yes?
Do you like Lee Moon Sae's songs?
- Yes. - I smell lilacs
- Do you know that song? - I do.
Those are lilacs.
(We're lilacs.)
Lilacs...
are known for their scent.
You'll be amazed by their scent.
This is a gift from me to you.
Come here. Ready, set, smell.
I can't break this.
She's too small.
Wait a minute. Here.
Smell it.
(She doesn't seem too impressed.)
- It doesn't smell much. - You're right.
(He's embarrassed.)
You're right.
How would it feel to have this weather all year round?
I'd feel so lethargic.
- Why? - Every now and then is fine, right?
- Yes. - But not every day?
(You need to be thankful for such sunny days.)
He keeps destroying our innocence.
Koreans need to have both cold and hot weathers.
(Hi, baby.)
Those who live in warm climates...
don't get to experience this kind of life.
(Sung Hoon drops his spoon.)
I'm sorry.
That was an accident.
(He feels like a sinner.)
You interrupted him. My gosh. I'm sorry, Kyung Kyu.
I'm fine.
(Why is it so noisy outside?)
- Hi, puppy. - Where?
- Where? - Hi, puppy.
- Over there. - I see it.
- I see. - There's one here too.
- I see. - There are two.
They don't bark.
Is that Puppy One.
And this, Puppy Two?
They don't bark.
They're so gentle.
(That was a stupid joke.)
It's barking.
- He's... - No one gave him a reaction.
He's not confident enough.
You need to be confident.
Don't mind me.
(He's embarrassed.)
That was good.
Puppy 1, Puppy 2.
I heard that...
Ji Ni persuaded her parents...
to allow her...
to go study abroad.
That's true.
That courage is commendable.
Where did you go?
I studied in the States.
- Where? - I was in Irvine.
I lived in Orange County.
How many years were you there?
- Three years. - Come up.
You must speak English then.
No, I can't.
What kind of role do you want to play next?
- A funny one. - Really?
Which channel would you like to appear on?
(He's looking for a specific answer.)
- JTBC! - JTBC?
I'll put in a good word for you.
Looking at you, I think...
you're a good fit for romantic comedies.
Even though you played a villain before...
You're right.
The people around me said the same thing.
I can see you in a historical drama too.
(She's flattered.)
Judging by her face.
- A historical drama? - Yes.
I did shoot a historical movie.
- Movie? - Choi Min Sik is in it.
- Really? - Han Seok Kyu as well.
- Oh, I know. - It's called "Forbidden Dream".
- I'm the crown prince. - He's the person...
Choi Min Sik respects the most.
I know that.
- Are you done filming? - Sorry?
- Did you finish filming? - Yes, I did.
Then why hasn't that punk called me yet?
(Flustered)
Whom are you talking about?
Choi Min Sik, of course.
(Kyung Kyu addresses the great actor as "that punk".)
Did you finish filming for it?
I thought he wasn't calling because he was still busy.
Why, that punk.
(Flustered)
That little punk...
Kyung Kyu.
- When did you finish filming? - In February.
It's been ages.
(He checks his watch.)
"It's been ages."
- It has. - It's been about two months now.
(Min Sik, I miss you.)
Which one are you more comfortable with?
Acting in a movie or a drama?
That's a bit difficult to say.
Which one do you prefer?
(Which one does he like more?)
- They're both difficult. - Are they?
But since I'm filming a drama,
I guess I'm more comfortable with them.
- For me... - He's very humble...
with his answers.
I just can't act in dramas.
Not one bit.
- What? - But I can do movies.
(He doesn't know what to say.)
I've already decided...
on what my role would be...
for my very last movie.
I'll be a mob boss.
I'm going to curse as much as I want.
I'm going to curse until I'm content.
(The purpose is for him to swear all he wants.)
You can't swear in dramas.
You can't. Even in variety shows.
- Be on standby. - For what?
Let's try it. Ji Ni, go there.
This is a scene where you break up with her.
For your success,
you need to break up with her.
- Me? - Yes.
- Try it. - That's my specialty.
Show us your cruelty.
But Ji Ni won't let you go.
- Standby. Ready. Action! - Leave.
Leave!
(Flinching)
Don't do this.
Leave!
- Kyung Kyu! - Go away!
(Like so, Kyung Kyu left her.)
Cut.
That was great.
Where's the reaction?
(They're content.)
I must be happy to have Ji Ni on our show.
(He's on cloud nine.)
- I'm not usually talkative. - You're right.
I don't.
- He's not the talkative type. - No, I'm not.
- I'm very proactive today. - I think...
there's a springlike aura about you.
- Really? - You make people happy.
- You emit such energy. - I'm flattered.
It's a happy virus.
- Yes. - Thank you so much.
(She's grateful.)
We should remember this.
We can't cross that crosswalk today,
- no matter how urgent we are. - Right.
- That's Yaksu-dong. - Yes.
- It's Dasan-dong up until here. - Correct.
I see.
This neighborhood used to be numbered...
Sindang 1-dong to Sindang 6-dong.
In 2013, the government listened to the residents' opinions.
Sindang 3-dong became Yaksu-dong.
Sindang 2-dong, which includes Dasan-ro,
became Dasan-dong.
Don't you think the view from up there would be amazing?
It's very high up.
We'll probably be able to see the entire Mount Nam.
(You can have a bird's-eye view from up there.)
You should team up with Ji Ni.
Okay, I'll do that.
(Kyung Kyu and Ji Ni will be a team.)
They're like brother and sister.
- She's on my side. - Their personalities are similar.
She's on my side.
- You've already decided on that? - Yes, I have.
I have two members on my side.
Lee Yoon Seok and her.
(Is that a good thing?)
- All right. - There are only two of you.
- Today, here in Dasan-dong, - Okay.
- we'll have the one and only meal. - Yes.
- Dining Together! - Dining Together!
Let's get it.
(My goodness.)
Go, go.
Now, it's time to look...
for families that will feed them their one and only meals.
(They start ringing doorbells at 6pm.)
These days,
the daily difference in temperature...
- is the worst. - You're right.
In the afternoon, it feels like summer.
It was so hot today.
- I should've worn more clothes. - All right.
- I've changed into these pants. - How about that house?
- What? - Over there.
(They target the closest house.)
Are we starting immediately?
(Tense)
Right now?
(Peeking)
Is it a house?
- No, it's not. - No?
- It's not a house. - It's a warehouse.
Let's go over here.
Who should go first?
- Who should? - Who wants to go first?
Do you guys want to start first?
- Okay, since he's older than you. - Right.
- Yes. - I'll do it.
- Trust me, will you? - Ring the doorbell.
He's so bold.
No, set the camera first.
Okay.
- Like this. - In front of me?
You need to film your face.
(The boldness is long gone.)
I'll ring the doorbell now.
I failed last week, so I'm pretty tense today.
- Last week, - I'll do my best.
I completely failed.
- But here's the issue. - Okay.
During the past three years of filming,
- we've never failed consecutively. - Right.
- If we do, it'll be a record. - Exactly.
(Sung Hoon rings the bell for the first time.)
Go!
- I can't hear the bell. - It's okay.
It's on the right.
I think the bell is broken.
- What? - It's broken?
On your first try?
(Trying to laugh it off)
- What? - No one is coming out.
I don't hear anything.
I can't hear any sounds.
In our case, there are a lot of foreigners here.
You can speak English.
(You can speak English, Ji Ni.)
- Sung Hoon can too. - Really?
Hello?
(An expert in English)
(It's me, Sung Hoon.)
I don't think that's working.
Gosh, the bell is broken starting with our first house?
How are you feeling?
- Me? - Yes.
I'm kind of nervous.
(Chuckling)
Gosh, look, Kyung Kyu.
Is this an apartment?
- It's a multiplex housing. - A multiplex?
- A multiplex. - Is it our turn?
- Yes. - Okay.
- What am I going to do? - What do you think?
Press the bell and introduce yourself.
Introduce myself?
(Introduce myself? Goodness!)
(Stay calm.)
(Is no one answering again?)
It's not working.
(Door opening)
(Surprised)
(What do we do?)
Hurry. Hurry up and go upstairs, Kyung Kyu.
- They must think it's a delivery. - Goodness.
(The door is closing while they hesitated.)
- They opened it. - You should call them again.
They just opened the door.
- Kyung Kyu, show your face. - What was that?
Don't go in.
Ask them why they opened the door.
Hello.
- No way. - Was that it?
They just opened it.
(Door opening)
Is that the button that opens the door?
My gosh, just go in.
This is confusing.
I guess we'll be back, then.
Okay.
What do I do?
(They opened the door, so they decided to go in.)
Do you think they knew it was us?
Who knows?
What should we do?
No, I don't think...
(When the elevator arrives,)
(the lady opens the door and comes out.)
- Hello. - Hello.
- Goodness. - Hello.
- Say hello to her. - Hello.
My gosh.
I'm Actress Yoon Ji Ni.
This is Ji Ni.
- We're shooting... - My goodness.
Dining Together.
- I know. - Exactly.
Have you eaten yet?
- No, not yet. - You haven't eaten.
- Don't feel burdened. It's okay. - Yes.
My gosh.
We still have a lot of time.
One second. I need a second.
Sure.
My gosh.
It's my first time. What should I do?
She looks nice.
- She's pretty. - Yes.
We should have said that first.
(A little disappointed)
Right?
- I'm sorry. - Yes?
- I'd love to cook for you, but... - It's okay.
- You're very beautiful. - You may have a reason.
My child is sick too.
That's not good, then.
- And my mother-in-law is here. - Oh, and your child is sick too.
She kept opening the door because the bell is broken right now.
- Okay. - I see.
I'm sorry.
This is such a great opportunity.
Okay, goodbye.
- It's nice to meet you. - Yes.
(Disappointed)
Sung Hoon, press a number that you like.
(Thinking)
In the movie that I shot with Ha Jun,
we go into apartment 402.
So I'll go with 402.
- Isn't that too scary? - No.
(Ringing the bell!)
(The door is opened, and the intercom is quiet.)
(What should we do?)
(I'm not sure.)
Director, can we just go in? I think the intercom is broken.
Can we just go in?
(The door is opened, so why can't you go in?)
I mean, they opened the door for them.
- Should we go? - Yes, let's go in.
Let's go inside.
- Do your introduction. - Okay.
Goodness, that sounds great.
(Ringing)
I actually failed last week.
I have failed before, but not two times in a row.
(Feeling more burdened)
She's coming out.
- Hello? - Who is it?
Hello.
I'm actor Park Sung Hoon. Do you know me by any chance?
(Opening)
(Ho Dong and Sung Hoon change positions.)
- Yes? - Hello, ma'am.
My name is Park Sung Hoon.
Do you recognize me?
What brings you here?
Have you eaten yet?
(She hasn't seen Ho Dong yet.)
Ma'am, will you please hear us out?
- Today... - My goodness.
Ma'am.
- Yes? - Do you remember the drama...
"My Only One" with Choi Soo Jong?
He played Jang Go Rae.
Do you recognize him now?
- I don't really watch TV. - Really?
My kids would have loved it if they were home.
- Who lives here? - No one is home right now.
- My kids are outside. - I see.
Then won't they come back?
They will.
Then could you talk to your husband?
No.
My husband is doing something in another place today.
I see.
Then do you not plan on eating?
I'm not eating tonight.
(She has no plans to eat dinner.)
(Disappointed)
Then please excuse us.
(We'll get going, then.)
Did we surprise you? I'm sorry.
Thank you so much.
No, we're thankful.
- We want to thank you. - Thank you.
- Goodbye. - Thank you.
This is how you do this.
(They found Team Kyung Kyu.)
You didn't succeed?
- No. - It didn't work.
- Hello. - Hello, little princess.
Welcome.
Can you introduce yourself?
(A mother and a daughter walk out of the elevator.)
She's so cute.
Let's take a picture together. Come here.
She's too shy.
- Is she a first grader? - Yes.
Goodness, if you're a first grader, you can introduce yourself.
Of course, she should.
Yes, of course.
- Where do you live? - In apartment 402.
In apartment 402?
We're just stopping by.
(That's the house Sung Hoon called.)
Is there someone there?
There is, and I know you rang the bell before,
but there's a baby at home.
Is that why they didn't say anything?
They did, but you didn't say anything.
We couldn't hear anything.
- May I take a picture with you? - Sure.
Let's take a picture.
Come here.
Let's show Dad.
Okay.
In 1, 2, 3.
Come here. One...
In 1, 2, 3.
(Say cheese.)
Thank you.
- Me too. - She wants to do it too.
(Sulking)
- Come here. - A picture.
I've never seen a kid who cries because she couldn't take...
a picture with me. Come here. Good girl.
(She walks into Ho Dong's arms.)
- She was disappointed. - Were you disappointed?
In 1, 2, 3.
Come on, show me a smile. Smile.
- Thank you. - Sure. Goodbye.
- Goodbye. - Kyung Kyu.
We can't do it here. They can't hear the intercom.
- Let's go. - Let's try somewhere else.
(They move to another place because they can't communicate.)
- Hey. - What?
Should we go over there?
(Waving)
- Hello. - Hello.
(The baby and the mother are by the window.)
- She's so cute. - She is.
It's our turn.
Ring the bell.
Ring the bell. She's waving at us.
- I have a feeling... - You have to seize the chance.
they will succeed.
My gosh.
(Ringing)
(Feeling completely nervous)
Who is it?
Hello, I am Actress Yoon Ji Ni.
- I see. - Do you know me by any chance?
Tell her what the drama was.
- One second. - Okay.
Tell her the title of your drama.
I was on "My Only One".
Will you be our one and only family?
Please.
(Will they succeed?)
- Goodness, I'm sorry. - Why? Have you eaten?
What?
I'll open the door for now.
(Yes!)
(Will they make it inside like this?)
Is this it?
- Did we succeed? - Can we go in?
She waved to me outside her window.
Can we go inside?
- Was that her? - Wasn't it?
I think it was this house.
- It is that house. - Yes, you're right.
It is that house.
(Kyung Kyu and Ji Ni are taking light steps.)
- Hello. - Hello.
- Have you eaten? - Hello.
It's almost time that her parents came home.
It's the same house she waved from.
What's your relationship with them?
I'm the aunt.
- The aunt? - Her aunt?
I'm the nanny.
- I see. - For the baby.
You come here to look after her.
I really love him.
Really? My gosh. What should I do?
- I see. - Then...
should I send them away and go inside?
Don't say that.
This is the house of Steve and Yoni.
- Steve Yoon? - Yes.
It's their house, and they're coming home now.
Will you give them a call?
Tell them that Dining Together is here,
and ask them if they are okay dining with us.
We don't even have a lot of food.
You can cook a little more.
- One second. - Okay.
Their garden is so pretty.
Kyung Kyu, I feel really burdened...
- because I failed last week. - Yes.
- I'll get going. - You should go.
(Ho Dong and Sung Hoon leave to try other houses.)
- Bye, Kyung Kyu. - We'll get going.
Bye, Ji Ni. Good luck.
- Keep it up! - The house is...
- so pretty. - I'm so jealous.
The house is...
They will be home in 10 minutes.
Then can we eat with them?
They said yes.
(All right.)
What are we going to do?
Where are they right now?
They're almost here.
- Then we'll sit out here. - Sure.
(Come in quickly.)
Ji Ni, do a search.
- Yes, where's my phone? - Right here.
- Steve. - Steve.
Is this right?
Isn't that him?
Is this him?
- No. - That's not him?
- No. - Really?
Is this all we get?
Yes, right here. Look.
(Found them!)
This guy. It's him.
Him?
(But...)
Do we just sit here and wait?
(how long do we have to wait?)
Kyung Kyu has been continuously going in first.
Gosh, this is troublesome.
(Troubled)
The house was so prettty.
I'm so jealous.
(Will they overcome this troubling situation?)
You like this number.
Let's go with that.
(They are determined once again!)
(Please pick up!)
(Feeling conscious)
There are units 103, 201, 202, and 203.
Let's put an end to everything in this building.
(He calls the next house immediately after.)
- Let's ring all 10 units. - Yes.
(Determined)
(I want to succeed.)
Who is it?
Hello, I'm actor Park Sung Hoon.
Do you know who I am?
Who?
I am actor Park Sung Hoon.
Have you seen the drama "My Only One"?
I don't know what it is.
Have you seen the film "Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum"?
- "Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum"? - Yes.
- I am sorry. I haven't seen it. - I see.
Have you seen the film "High Society" then?
- Pardon? - "High Society"?
No. I am sorry.
- We are shooting Dining Together. - Yes.
Have you eaten dinner?
I haven't had dinner yet.
But I live alone, so there's nothing to eat at home.
- What we eat doesn't matter. - It's all right.
This show is about sitting down with cup noodles...
and talking about this and that.
I am in the middle of cleaning.
We can clean together then.
- Really? - This is Dasan-dong, you know.
- Right. - Will you invite...
Sung Hoon and me in and become our family today?
Can you give me five minutes?
- Sure. - Sure.
- We will call you back. - Thank you.
My gosh. I failed last week.
It feels a bit intenser today.
I am a little pressured.
I think we have a chance.
Follow me. Excuse us.
Let's look at them from afar.
(Looking around)
(They are curious about the other team for no reason.)
Did they succeed?
(No, not yet.)
If we get rejected, it would do us great damage.
- I think it's been about 3 minutes. - 3 minutes.
(After waiting for 3 minutes, they call him back.)
(He's nervous.)
(I want to go into your house and tell you more about me.)
(Why isn't he answering?)
(His eyes get tearful.)
I have a feeling he is going to turn us down.
(I can't fail again.)
Why isn't he answering?
He came down.
(He came down to the 1st floor.)
I have...
a dog at home.
We really love dogs.
- I have a dog too. - My last name is "Kang".
- So... - Dogs are my rivals.
Kang Ho Dong and dogs are rivals.
I live alone, so I've got nothing.
- We... - Even instant noodles are fine.
We can't just barge in.
- Right. - What's your name?
My name is Lee Woo Joo.
(Woo Joo. Think of something, Ho Dong.)
Recently, I've been obsessed about the universe.
I really have been.
I got chills just now.
I drank a lot over the weekends, so I am cleaning.
That's youth.
Did you always live alone?
No, I got divorced.
Right.
(Right.)
(Ho Dong approaches him...)
(and hugs him.)
This is why... My goodness. There's nothing...
I was just thinking about ordering pizza.
Right.
- Pizza. Yes. - Then can we...
Can somebody come up and check?
Can someone check if my place is appropriate enough to be on TV?
(Laughing)
You are...
Can someone check my place first?
You are being considerate of us.
You want us to check if it's possible to shoot there.
We can't check the house and make the decision.
- Really? - We just need your open heart.
Will you invite Sung Hoon and me in...
and become our family today?
Yes, I will.
(They succeed to get invited before Team Kyung Kyu.)
- We did it. - We did it.
(He's deeply moved.)
Thank you.
- Excuse us. - Come in.
(They enter the house of a one-person household.)
(At 6:45pm, Ho Dong and Sung Hoon enter the house.)
(As soon as the door is opened, they hear the dog barking.)
What breed is your dog?
- French bulldog. - French bulldog.
He doesn't bite.
But he's a little crazy.
He talks fearlessly.
- Hello. - Hello.
(Running)
He's so cute.
- Where are you going? - Where are you going?
Move.
(I am free.)
He went out. He will come back, right?
(He just goes inside.)
Shouldn't you...
bring him back?
- Come in, Jackson. - Come in.
- What's his name? - Jackson.
- Jackson. - Jackson.
He's so heavy.
Do you only have one dog?
- I have one cat. - You have a cat too.
This is such a nice house.
It's lovely.
He decorated it so nicely.
This man saved Ho Dong who had three failures just this year.
They enter the home of Woo Joo in Dasan-dong at dinnertime.
The house is decorated with modern decorations.
There are some kitschy items too.
Woo Joo's pet Jackson warmly welcomes the guests.
Hello, Jackson.
This space is so nice, isn't it?
It's nice.
A small terrace provides relaxation.
What kind of stories will they encounter here?
- This is our destiny. - Yes.
This is amazing.
I have a cat too.
(He's busy cleaning the house and looking for the cat.)
Where did the cat go?
There it is.
Do you need help with the cleaning?
I am done cleaning.
- Wait. - Isn't this considered...
clean for a man who lives alone?
I am an old man who lives alone.
I should keep the house clean.
Let's take a seat.
I love the terrace.
Don't men dream...
about moving out of their parents' house from a young age?
The house itself is great, but that's a really great space.
Yes. The terrace.
It's like a courtyard.
But it's burdensome...
- to keep a garden. - Yes.
Isn't that perfect?
It's nice to drink there.
Right. I saw...
The wine bottles?
- Yes. - Champagne.
My colleagues and friends...
don't go home. They come to my house and drink.
- Right. - It's nice...
to drink at the terrace.
- Right. - Yes.
Do you like drinking?
I drink often.
Just recently, the crew of "My Only One" went on...
a vacation to Vietnam.
On the way back to Korea, I bought a Vietnamese liquor...
at a duty-free shop.
I brought it as a gift for the family that invites us in.
You thought you would give it to the family.
Yes.
- You brought a Vietnamese liquor. - It's Vietnamese soju.
- Soju. - Yes. I brought it.
They said it's rice vodka.
- Right. - I've never tried it.
But it's quite strong. It's got 40 percent alcohol.
Thank you.
This is meaningful, isn't it?
Thank you so much.
I always see green bottled sojus.
A clear bottle feels different.
(It's different from what he's used to seeing.)
- Thank you so much. - Don't say that.
I love the way you speak.
He's an eloquent speaker.
Yes.
What do you do, Woo Joo?
I sell something called ELS.
It's short for Equity Linked Securities.
I am a salesman who sells reverse convertible funds.
Do you know what that is?
I am sorry.
It's called Equity Linked Securities,
and it's a structured product.
It's a product made with financial engineering.
And my job is to sell it.
Equity Linked Securities, you know?
There is something like that.
You are a banker then.
Yes. I sell financial companies' products.
I wholesale them to banks and financial institutions.
Don't lie. There's no wholesaling and retailing there.
The products are divided into wholesale and retail products.
There's wholesale and retail in banking too?
- Yes. - Like clothes?
Yes. Individuals...
invest in tens of thousands of dollars at banks.
I sell 100 to 200 million dollars worth of investment products...
to banks.
(100 million dollars?)
How long have you had the dog?
I've had him since before...
I got divorced.
I've had him for a while.
- I have a dog too. - Do you?
So I thought I'd ask.
I've had him for about four years.
- About four years. - Yes.
(Looking at Sung Hoon)
He is anxious.
I am very relaxed.
- Should I order food? - Yes.
You said you were going to order pizza.
I am sorry.
- I am sorry. - I'll ask a question first.
I am sorry, but...
how can you be so relaxed?
- I was trying to order food. - Right.
I put the pizza in the cart.
Which one are you ordering?
Are you getting a large one?
I think I have to cancel the pizza.
- Let's order. - Right. Wait.
We have money too.
I make a lot of money too.
(Keep it.)
My gosh. He's unbelievable.
(He's fearless.)
What kind of pizza do you like?
You can tell me.
I eat everything well.
I hate it when people say that.
Please be more specific.
I want potato pizza then.
Potato pizza.
What do you like, Ho Dong?
I usually never eat pizza.
Then what am I supposed to do?
(He becomes speechless.)
(Smiling brightly)
Do you want me to cook you instant noodles?
(He says everything he wants with a smile.)
I can cook you instant noodles.
What about this? We can sit on the floor together.
- Right. - I think it will look better.
Have a seat.
Wait.
(Looking at him)
I want to be his friend.
Can you be my friend, Woo Joo?
I am not such an easy person.
(I am sorry.)
(I lose.)
He's fearless.
(He's just joking.)
Whether he wants it or not, I will become his friend.
(Looking at him)
(Tapping)
Aren't you going to order it?
I messed it up.
(Because he kept talking to me)
Do you need any help?
(Ho Dong cracks up.)
It's all gone.
It's my first time to be on TV like this,
so I'm quite nervous.
(Does he talk that smoothly when he's nervous?)
Do you usually cook at home, Sung Hoon?
I order in too,
but I like homemade food,
so I cook often.
What kind of dish...
can you cook the best?
I can make pasta, kalguksu,
chicken stew, and so on.
Do you cook chicken stew at home?
After I boil a chicken,
I eat only the chicken at first,
then I add noodles to it to make kalguksu,
and make porridge with the leftover soup.
(Amazed)
I have about five meals with a chicken.
(He can have five meals with a chicken.)
- Right. I guess you can do it. - Yes.
- Do you make pasta yourself? - Yes.
Are you not interested in cooking?
I can also make pasta...
at least.
Olive oil pasta is very simple to make.
I often make...
something like...
pasta with green onion and salted pollack roe.
(That sounds fancy.)
That's very simple to make too.
- You need green onions? - You need shredded green onions,
a little bit of salted pollack roe...
- And garlic. - Right, garlic,
and some of anchovies.
Anchovies too?
- Anchovies are usually salted. - Right.
- Small fish. - Right.
I think it tastes better when they're added.
(He sounds like an expert.)
Shall I give you something to drink?
These will be enough. We can drink one each.
This one.
(Drinkable yogurt that will alleviate their hunger)
We will become a family...
- like this. - Nice to meet you.
Thank you for coming.
I think May will be okay... In June or July,
there are mosquitoes,
so I think mid-May will be great...
to have a drink with you over there.
I'm sorry, but I won't have time for that.
(Laughing)
I almost spat it out.
My mother told me not to let anyone in easily.
(He wraps it up with another attack.)
I'm so embarrassed.
(He finds it so funny to tease Ho Dong.)
(Gosh)
I've been rejected.
(Cheer up, Ho Dong.)
- This is your kitchen, right? - Yes.
Do you like taking photos?
Yes. I'm interested in taking photos these days,
so I bought a camera and so on.
This is Jackson.
- Well... - You must love Jackson so much.
Jackson was the only object I could take pictures of.
(So many pictures of Jackson filled with Woo Joo's love)
This doesn't seem like a big deal at first glance,
but it's quite extraordinary.
I know. The interior design is great.
Yes. In fact, it is not...
a very big space, but...
This is actually my friend's house.
It's my friend's.
He goes to law school in the US,
and he said that I can stay here...
while he's gone...
as I'm his friend.
That's why I'm living here now.
Do you pay the rent too?
Yes, he takes all the money that he has to.
- Of course... - He didn't give me any discount.
(Friends should be strict with money too.)
(Woo Joo shows around the house to them.)
My dog... Oh, this is the bathroom.
I'm using this room as storage.
- Oh, Jackson was here. - Jackson.
I use it as storage...
and there are things like litter boxes.
I see. Jackson, come here. Let's go in.
He likes...to be...
at the center of attention.
(I can't believe him.)
(Attention!)
Jackson.
This is the master bedroom.
(The master bedroom is far inside the house.)
It's nice.
(The room is so neat.)
It's so cool.
Things like this could be the talk of the town.
Although he's an investment expert, he reads "Investment Theory"...
and continues to study. Look how thick the book is.
- It still looks like a new book. - It's a new book.
It smells like one too.
(He's embarrassed again.)
I didn't even unpack many of the books here.
All right. For decoration.
Yes, that's right.
It looks good though.
Kyung Kyu went to that house.
Which house?
That house in front of this.
Oh, they're here.
- What? - Gosh.
- Over there? I see. - Yes.
On my way to work, I occasionally see her carrying...
her crying baby on her back and walk around here.
Oh, here. Here they are.
(They are waiting for "Steve Yoon".)
- This one. - This one?
These people here. The two of them are married.
They made a lot of clothes.
They did?
Fabulous clothes.
"Steve".
Steve J and Yoni P are married.
Steve...
(They are difficult names.)
Have they arrived?
Have they come?
Have they arrived?
Have they come?
(The guests go out to meet the owners.)
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi. - Goodness.
- I'm so surprised. - Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. - We didn't know it was your house.
- You didn't know? - We didn't.
The lady who works at your house...
opened the door for us.
She usually sends me a text message,
but she called me this time, so I thought my baby was hurt.
- I was startled. - No.
I asked her to get your permission...
as we can't do this without it.
What are these flowers for?
I bought them to put them in my house.
Goodness. I thought she brought them for us.
I didn't know you'd come to my house.
I was taken aback.
- Please come in. - Okay.
It's like my house.
Welcome.
He's back now.
- Sorry? - Now...
- My husband is here. - Hello.
(Exclaiming)
Hello.
- She's an actress. - Hello.
Hi.
- I'm actress Yoon Ji Ni. - I can tell she's an actress.
- Yoon Ji Ni. - Hello.
- Yoon Ji Ni. She was on... - Oh, I know her.
- What was the drama again? - "My Only One".
She was on "My Only One".
- Because you got a haircut, - Yes.
I didn't recognize you, but I know who you are.
She played Jang Go Rae.
- Am I right? - Jang Da Ya.
- Go Rae left. - Go Rae...
Oh, Go Rae has left.
Please come on in.
- Goodness. - As we have a baby...
It's okay. I can take good care of babies.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi. - How old is your baby?
- So cute. - 20 months old.
- 10 months? Oh, 20 months old. - 20 months old.
Hello.
- Is it a boy? - It's a girl.
It's a girl?
- Say hello, Si An. - Go ahead...
- and say hello. - "Hello."
She learned to greet people politely.
- She did? - I guess so.
- She keeps waving her hand. - All right.
- Bow. - Good.
Life is all about greetings.
Greetings are the most important.
In fact, our house was on TV a few times.
- It doesn't matter. - It doesn't?
Because we do this without organizing things in advance.
- There are not many dishes to eat. - Pardon?
There is nothing much to eat.
It's okay.
We could eat instant noodles.
(We could eat whatever.)
As a matter of fact, I'm on a diet,
so I don't eat much for dinner.
- I see. - We just eat tofu and eggs.
It's all right. We can go on a diet as well...
and eat a simple meal.
There is only rice.
Look at that.
Si An, you must be surprised to see these many people.
She doesn't seem to be surprised.
- Right. She looks okay. - My friend painted it for me.
We studied together.
That is what Steve painted.
- This one? - Yes.
Gosh, may I put the laundry away?
- Sure, you can put it away. - Please go ahead.
Good pictures are from other people like my friends,
and crude and amateurish ones are painted by me.
(Pictures he says are amateurish are everywhere in the house.)
Where do you usually have dinner?
- Over there. - Over there.
- Shall we clean it up then? - Okay.
It reads, "car".
It's cute.
I think it's food for the baby.
Has Si An eaten something? That's good.
She already had a meal for our show.
(The babysitter and Si An finished eating.)
- Can I change into comfortable... - Sure.
- Of course. - clothes and cook together?
Si An, I thought you were sick with a runny nose.
Are you okay now?
(She is completely back in shape now.)
Is it fun?
(She just passes him.)
She used to be shy around strangers until about two months ago,
but she recently changed all of a sudden.
- Right. Kids change day by day. - Yes.
- These days... - How old is she?
- She's 18 months old. - 18 months old?
She's a year and a half old.
Can she talk?
"Mommy" and "daddy"...
(Just some baby talk)
- Just those words. - Only baby talk.
I put a lot of effort to teach her how to greet people.
She was waving like this as soon as we came in.
Hi.
- She looks happy. - Are you happy?
- Are you happy? - Hi.
You have to greet others politely.
- Isn't it fun being with people? - Hi. How adorable.
- All right. - You need to greet people politely.
She's so cute.
(Hi)
- She is so good at it. - It's funny.
Please show around your house.
- My house? - Yes.
I'm curious how a designers' house looks like.
Shall we go upstairs?
Here...
- This house is 30 years old. - Is it?
When we moved here three years ago...
The floor is still the same from 30 years back.
You installed it because of your baby, right?
Yes, many things have changed because of my baby.
- Just in case she comes up here. - Yes.
Goodness. Look at the little pig.
(You can see downstairs from the 2nd floor.)
You renovated this house, right?
Yes, I did.
There used to be many closed spaces here,
but we opened them up...
by removing a part of the ceiling.
Old houses that were around Mount Nam for a long time...
are recently being remodeled...
to houses, workshops, or stores,
which make unique scenes.
Many young artists have moved here.
- Like painters. - To this town?
Many workshops are around, which makes a nice atmosphere.
- Are there workshops? - Yes.
You look so pretty in person.
- Thank you. Do you know me? - I...
I watched that drama so often a while ago.
You played a sister of Jang Dong Gun's...
- You're right. - friend in the drama.
- Right, on "A Gentleman's Dignity". - Oh, that's it.
- Yes. - I liked it a lot.
Thank you.
I thought you wouldn't recognize me.
No. I saw you there.
Really? Thank you.
(They were actually grilling tofu, not having a fan event.)
The tofu has various colors.
What is this?
- It's amazing. - It's antibiotic-free tofu.
- Perilla seeds, and black sesame. - Black sesame.
- It must be so healthy. - I like health foods so much.
The oil looked special too.
Yes. I heard this avocado oil...
has a high smoke point, and that it's okay...
to be cooked over heat, so I bought it.
I was told you should not use olive oil for that.
Exactly. You need oil that has a high smoke point when you cook.
That's why I use avocado oil.
This looked special too. Are they lentils?
Yes, they are lentils.
(They're great for bowl movement and reduce cholesterol level.)
I like them.
I love natural foods.
I normally eat tofu and boiled eggs...
for dinner for protein.
So I didn't buy many side dishes, but you visited us,
- so I was taken aback. - I love these foods.
(Perfect natural foods are ready.)
(Laughing out loud)
- Unbelievable. - I like skateboarding.
There are long boards and short ones.
How do you ride it here?
I'm not good at riding on that one.
But would you show it a little bit?
Well, like this...
(He laughs uncontrollably at the bizarre sight.)
Do you ride it often?
I can't ride it that much...
especially when the baby is asleep...
- because of the sound. - Right. It'll be loud.
I used to ride it often before she was born.
Did you do it yourself too?
Well, when an artist...
came to Korea, I specially asked him...
to make it.
So he sprinkled some paints.
Yes. I asked him to make a mess with this place.
There are many of them here.
It's my hobby. I like boards.
- So I collected various kinds. - You like boards.
- Sometimes, I paint here. - You paint here too?
Originally, I collected...
many surfing boards here,
but it became like storage now.
This is nice.
It's just like there are fishing rods in my basement.
Yes, that's right.
- I don't know how long it'll last. - Pardon?
- Now that I have a baby... - Right.
It could change into a playroom later.
(It could change into a playroom.)
They started to speed up preparing dinner in the kitchen.
(Plenty of side dishes)
Let me move the side dishes.
Kyung Kyu who finished looking around the house joins them...
to set the table and starts to move the side dishes.
(He's very careful.)
(Peeking)
- It's quite different. - Sorry?
It's quite different from what we usually eat.
Because we have guests.
It's nice to see the food plated in a pretty way.
Recently, we ate food from containers.
- The containers on the table? - Right.
Food looks pretty when it's on plates.
As the food is made deliciously, it's time to set the table nicely.
While the lady is serving the lentil rice...
Gosh, it looks so good.
Ji Ni pan-fried the tofu with black sesame and perilla seeds so well...
and tossed it to Kyung Kyu.
- It looks good. - Doesn't it?
Since it's a designers' house,
he tries to make it look beautiful while setting the table.
- Steamed egg. - Steamed egg.
With their special steamed egg,
the table gets much fancier.
(Boiling)
With chicken breast, natural protein supplement,
as the finishing touch,
their design for healthy foods is completed.
- It's fully cooked, right. - Chicken breast...
- is cooked. - Let me take a picture.
Dining Together in Dasan-dong.
This meal is designed with tofu with black sesame,
perilla seeds, lentil rice, and chicken breast.
The meal comprises super foods that are bound to make you healthy.
Thank you for the food.
- Please enjoy. - Okay.
(Having a bite)
It looks good even to me.
- It's good. - There was not enough rice,
- It's okay. - so we're cooking more rice.
I craved steamed eggs today.
For some reason.
(Taking a big bite)
- It's a heavy meal for us. - Pardon?
She hardly has dinner.
She eats only a small amount...
because she's on a diet these days.
- That's why there's chicken breast. - Yes.
After giving birth to our baby, she wanted to take care of her body.
Right. She must have wanted to.
So she reduced the amount she eats quite a lot.
I missed home-cooked meals so much.
- Because she lives alone. - I see.
I love homemade meals.
I know.
The vegetables look organic.
There are holes in here.
- Right. I get them delivered... - Right?
directly from the farm where they are grown.
- Wow, that's why... - The tofu...
and eggs too.
We eat antibiotic-free ingredients these days.
I think the bean paste...
- also has a deep flavor. - I know.
After our baby was born, the food we eat...
- It changed completely, right? - changed a lot.
I feel obliged to become...
healthier now.
Because we had a baby when we were quite old.
Ji Ni fell into the organic home-cooked meal so much.
She shows the dignity of an eating show...
while eating slowly and carefully.
Meanwhile, with all the antibiotic-free, organic dishes,
Kyung Kyu only focuses on eating while looking carefree.
(He's extremely focused on the food.)
Where did you live right after you got married?
We lived with my parents.
It was far away from our office.
It took about an hour and a half to commute.
So to save time, we moved to the house over there.
We lived in this town for about two years, and we loved it.
So we moved here from the next house.
While my wife was passing by this house,
she had prayed for this house for six months.
- Well... - Pardon?
We lived in a multiplex house second to the next door,
and the trees in this house looked beautiful,
so I hoped this house would be mine.
- So did it come true? - Yes. I kept praying for it.
And this house was finally put up for sale.
She almost cast a spell.
You kicked them out with your prayer.
No way.
Who lived here?
- Did elders live here? - Yes, elders lived here.
They were elders.
He said he built this house...
30 years ago,
- and he was very proud of it. - He did?
It's amazing that she prayed for six months while passing by.
I know.
- That happens sometimes. - You pick one too.
Oh, right. I'd better pick one quickly.
As you know, we're designers.
It was also like that with the shops overseas.
When there was a shop I wanted my clothes in,
I prayed that I wanted one of my collection to be displayed there,
and I was eventually able to do that. That happened...
- As she wished. - often.
The things she wished for came true.
- The pizza must be here. - The pizza must be here.
(Meanwhile, pizza is delivered to Team Ho Dong.)
Shall we chip in?
No, it's okay.
We also got money from JTBC.
A table... Oh, there is a table.
(Ho Dong tries to set the table at least.)
Oh, it's not a table.
Well...
Doesn't it look like a table?
- I thought it was a table too. - Please shoot the video of this.
Doesn't it obviously look like a table?
(A speaker that looks like a table)
Is it a speaker?
- I'm embarrassed. - I've never seen anything like it.
(Sung Hoon helps him set the table.)
Please take an official picture of this with your camera.
I have always taken pictures of that.
Me? Well...
I can't adjust the focus...
- Try it. - I'll try it later.
Shall I put it like this? Wait.
To take a picture...
(He's setting the food nicely.)
We can take a picture as it is.
(Being careful)
(A delicate finishing touch with a fork)
Dasan-dong...
(Two men are taking pictures today.)
In Dasan-dong...
(But...)
Just like this.
(No, this is not good enough!)
Just...
The angle is...
(I, Kang Ho Dong,)
(am called the veteran when it comes to taking dinner table pictures.)
- Something like this. - Oh, it's nice.
It has its own sentiment.
Regardless of the photography technique or structure,
I have to adjust everything manually.
(Who will be the winner?)
I think it looks fine.
(Photo by Woo Joo, photo by Ho Dong)
(Slightly out of focus but with sensibility.)
(A picture taken by the experienced one who's taken it over 100 times)
(Ho Dong's sentimental picture out of focus)
This is the first combo meal of pizza and pasta...
on Dining Together.
All you need is a few touches of your finger to have it delivered.
It's the simple delivery meal of a man who lives alone.
(It's the simple meal of a man who lives alone.)
- Enjoy your meal. - Enjoy your meal.
When I first had this pasta, I didn't get why it was good.
But aglio e olio gradually grew on me.
Right.
Is it garlic pasta?
- It's... Yes. Olive oil and garlic. - Olive oil and garlic.
It's Spanish, isn't it?
Isn't it Italian?
Really?
(He's very embarrassed again.)
He admits it very fast.
(It's all right.)
You have to eat it in one bite.
(One bowl equals one bite.)
(He devours everything.)
(Slurping)
(Oh, dear.)
(Coughing)
I think you are pushing yourself too far.
A bowl of pasta and a slice of pizza...
are one mouthful to Ho Dong.
And pasta suits this man well.
He finishes it to the last strand of pasta.
(He finishes it with Coke.)
I live alone too.
It's been a long time since I had my mother's food.
I was expecting to eat a home-cooked meal today.
Usually when you get invited in for dinner,
- they grill fish for you. - They grill fish,
and they cook stew.
But...
They said if you picture it in your mind, it becomes reality.
So I pictured grilled fish.
(But he got pizza.)
- That makes me tearful. - Nevertheless, I am enjoying it.
By the way, do you not usually work at night in the finance industry?
When you deal securities, you have to...
always watch the American stock market indexes like the Dow.
Yes. There's S and P 500 Index, Euro Stoxx 50, and many others.
We have to check the American and European stock markets.
You have to check everything, don't you?
The traders who actually invest...
continuously trade at night.
When the American stock market closes, they go home in the morning.
Do you personally invest in stocks?
When employees of a securities firm invest in stocks, there are limits.
Right.
If you deal often...
or if you deal a big amount,
you get warned.
They warn you that you are investing too much.
- They advise you to stop. - Right.
If you exceed the certain limit,
your account gets blocked.
Because we have easier access...
to insider information, they do this to prevent insider trading.
- It's all systemized. - That's right.
If I work for one firm and open an account in another firm,
I have to report it to them.
That's how it works.
Financial Supervisory Service advises against it.
- Yes. - So I don't bother.
Excuse me, but how many are you in the family?
I have a younger brother. I have a mother.
My father passed away.
My younger brother has a wife and a child.
He's doing well.
Do you remember the title of his drama?
What was it?
"My Only One"?
Who is your only one?
My only one is...
Wasn't that a neat question?
That was great timing.
I used the drama title.
It has to be my mother.
I am an old son,
but she still supports me.
She's the one who's always on my side.
What kind of son were you growing up?
- Me? - Yes.
I don't think I can say that I've been a good son.
But I think I tried to be.
- You tried to be a good son? - Yes.
How about your father?
As soon as I got a job,
he died of cancer.
It was...
He must've been...
- quite young then. - Yes.
He wasn't too old.
But he suffered from an acute form of cancer.
- Right. - So...
Your family must've been...
shocked beyond imagination.
Yes.
It happened when I was trying to get a job.
I was impatient and felt rushed.
But I got lucky...
and got a job quite quickly.
At the time,
the company helped me a lot.
So many of my colleagues attended the funeral.
This company comforted me a lot.
Both of your parents are well, right, Sung Hoon?
Yes. Both are still alive.
My father is bedridden.
Oh, dear.
When I was shooting the film "Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum",
he suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage.
I usually don't talk to my father often.
Right.
I was in the shoot,
and suddenly he called me.
I wondered why he called. I picked up,
and another person spoke.
He said my father had collapsed...
and that I should come to the hospital.
I was shooting in Busan, in Yeongdo-gu.
I couldn't go.
I was so surprised. He's been bedridden since then.
He's been bedridden for about two and a half years.
He's suffering from hemiplegia.
Last year, my father...
- Right. - passed away.
What was it?
I didn't know at the time.
It's not that I miss him or think of him all the time.
But sometimes, I just get really tearful.
- I've felt that a lot too. - You just become sad.
While working,
I suddenly break into tears,
and I can't stop myself.
Tears just pour out.
When he was alive,
I don't think I was the sweet type of son to him.
Now that I'm a working adult,
I sometimes struggle.
There are times when I want to seek someone's advice.
And the person I can go to is...
my father because he was the closest person to me.
My mother never worked in an office before,
so it would've been nice to get advice from my father.
But he's not here anymore.
I don't want to ask someone else for help...
because that might make me look weak.
It's during those times I get sad the most.
It makes me wonder what it would've been like if Father was still here.
Right.
- The fathers are... - I know.
But...
he's still there for you.
So you should visit him more often.
Only then you will...
regret less. That's what I thought.
I had a lot of regrets.
I was the closest to my father...
when he was bedridden.
Really.
But we had... Like I said earlier,
the disease progressed quickly, so we didn't have much time together.
We literally were running out of time.
Thinking back,
the few months I spent with him felt like...
less than a month to me.
While he's still here,
you should visit him more often.
Yes.
I can give him this advice...
because I am somewhat older than him.
Right.
By the way, since when did you have dreams of becoming a designer?
Until college,
I always changed my mind.
I loved dancing, so I used to dance.
- He was a b-boy. - A b-boy.
- He performed at Marronnier Park. - Right.
I always loved clothes.
- Since you were little. - I always wanted to be a designer.
- Since you were young. - Yes.
Where did you study fashion?
I finished college in Korea,
and I studied again in England.
- In England. - Yes.
I think I studied for nearly 10 years.
Where did you study?
We...
started dating in college.
(That's amazing.)
So...
- We went to England together. - How long have you been together?
We dated for 16 years.
Has it been about six years since we got married?
- How long? - We've been married for longer.
Really? Has it been longer?
- Then has it been 20 years? - Right.
- Much longer than that. - Much longer, right?
How long have you been married?
- For 9 years. - We got married in 2010.
It's been nearly 10 years. Right?
- Did you study abroad together? - We studied together.
Did you go after getting married?
- Before getting married. - Before getting married.
We got married when we came back to Seoul.
You looked like a newlywed couple.
- Right. - Your child is young.
- Right. - We had the baby recently.
- Right. - So I thought you were newlyweds.
I thought it would've been about three years.
When you are a designer,
you don't have time to have a baby.
We always wanted a child, but it wasn't that easy.
You look...
10 years younger than your age.
- So... - She hears that a lot.
- Right? - I...
Thank you.
He looked exactly the same 10 years ago.
When we were studying in England...
- Right. - They didn't see us as a couple.
They saw us as a professor and a student.
He looked exactly like this 10 years ago.
Good thing is that he's not aging.
(He hasn't aged during those 10 years.)
Do you have an English name?
Me? Yes.
You do?
You studied in the US. You must've had one.
- I had one. - Let's hear it.
(She's embarrassed.)
What's your English name? Tell me.
I was Christina.
- Christina. - There are many Christinas.
Christina.
Oh, my goodness.
Why does it feel so hot?
Hey, Christina.
(Oh, dear.)
That was so sudden. It's so funny.
Did you name yourself?
Yes. My face turned red.
Why did you name yourself Christina?
It sounded like a pretty name back then.
Christina.
- It's... - I have one as well.
- You do? - Yes.
- What is it? - Angry Lee.
- Angry Lee. - Angry Lee?
Angry Lee.
- Angry Lee. - Angry Lee.
Angry Lee.
I bet you guys rarely fight.
Yes. There were times when we were sensitive at work.
For example, when we need to agree on something.
But after having a child of our own,
the moment we come home,
- we switch to parent mode. - Right.
We become happy the moment we come home.
It became so much better with a kid.
- Right? - Our lives...
- have completely changed. - Right.
It did.
Back then, we had the personalities of sensitive designers.
But now, we define ourselves more...
- as parents. - Right.
Don't you see the world in a different view?
Completely.
The moment my daughter was born,
the world looked different.
That lasted a good week.
(Her daughter gave him a week's worth of a gift.)
After a week, I was back to normal.
It became the same, old world.
(It's different for my parents.)
I have a question.
- You went to the same college. - Right.
What were your biggest charms back then?
(What attracted them to each other?)
Her personality...
and aura pulled people toward her.
If you're next to her,
you find yourself mesmerized by her.
- She's like a magnet. - Right.
She was always surrounded by people.
Everyone loved her.
So you squeezed into that crowd of men and won her over?
She had many female friends.
(It's fortunate.)
(So that's what you meant?)
They were female.
- Our major had many females. - We had many female students.
- Right. - There are many female designers.
- Yes. - The ratio is 7 to 3.
He was a rare one.
Yes, I was the one who caught him.
(She successfully won his heart.)
Male students were rare to find,
- But I found one. - but you caught one.
What did you like...
- so much about him? - What were his charms?
In my opinion,
he was good-looking.
(He looked handsome.)
(He still looks the same.)
- No, he's... - He's very cool.
He looks handsome.
- And... - She has high expectations for men.
- He didn't talk much. - She's a designer, you see.
- He wasn't talkative at all. - But...
- But he's so talkative today. - I know, right?
Since he looked so serious, he made me curious.
I wanted to get to know him better.
- I found him attractive. - Because he was quiet.
I received a memo during class...
and opened it.
He had asked me out.
- Memo? - Memo.
- That's... - He wrote a memo for her.
That's a 70s or 80s move.
(He's old-fashioned.)
He invited me to go to a zoo.
A zoo?
Back then, people went...
on burger dates and such.
Like I told you before, I like clothes.
So the night before, I pondered what to wear.
I decided to wear a leopard-print clothing.
- So I wore a dress. - My goodness.
My husband was waiting for me.
- Oh, my. - He saw me walking from afar.
I was so embarrassed.
(He was so embarrassed.)
I was very embarrassed.
She must've looked like a leopard.
She wore a leopard-print dress to the zoo.
- But it was funny. - She was cute right?
That must've been cute.
I realized once again that she was meant to be a designer.
What did you do there?
Take photos and look at animals?
We went there side by side but left the zoo holding hands.
That day was the first day...
- of our relationship. - Then...
neither of you confessed to each other?
- You just held hands? - Yes.
So you got into a relationship,
went abroad together,
got married,
- created your own brand, - Right.
- and are now working together. - Yes.
My goodness.
That's not easy to do.
We talk about that too.
When we were young, we'd joke about...
- Right. - becoming a designer couple.
But now, we're over 40, and looking back,
we're fascinated...
- by how our dreams came true. - Right.
23 years ago,
this couple first met in college.
By motivating each other throughout those years,
they finally fulfilled their dreams of becoming fashion designers.
And today, once again, they cheer for each other...
and design their future together.
We have a segment where we open our hearts...
- to each other. - Okay.
Please compliment your wife.
Three compliments.
Tell her.
(Pondering)
Let's see.
Right, about Si An.
She really takes...
great care of Si An to the point...
where I'm very proud.
- Really? - Really? Working...
and childrearing at the same time...
- is very exhausting. - That's true.
Also, after giving birth and as she gets older,
she's been taking great care of herself.
She exercises...
- That's important. - and doesn't get sick.
(She takes good care of herself.)
I respect her for that.
And...
I'm also thankful that she has stayed...
- by my side. - Right.
I'm sure she's thankful as well.
I'd like to thank her for those things.
It's your turn now.
In my point of view,
he is the most outstanding dad in the world.
He really takes good care of her.
He's great as a husband, but he's even better...
- as a dad. - Right.
And he is very industrious.
- Right. - He takes great care of our house.
I don't know what I'd do here without him.
- He takes great care... - Right.
- of our house. - I see.
And he is very kindhearted.
He never bad-mouths anyone.
- Really? - Yes.
As a woman, I sometimes tell him stuff that happened at work.
When I talk badly about someone,
he doesn't like it.
He really is a great person.
Right.
- I doubt you ever fight. - What?
He's excellent at household chores.
I'm sure they still fight.
- Yes. - Really?
- Yes. - That's right.
But generally speaking,
families with husbands who help out with household chores...
tend to be very harmonious.
They have many kids as well.
They help out because it's harmonious.
If they're angry, they wouldn't bother to help.
(Happy family, happy life)
Was there anything you couldn't say...
to your father when he was still alive?
Would you like to say it now?
(He's flustered.)
You don't have to force yourself.
I'm just wondering if you had anything...
left to say since you said you didn't have...
- much time with him. - Right.
If you have anything...
left to say to him,
you can say it to the camera.
Oh, do I need to look there?
It'd be more awkward to say it to my face.
If you say it to me,
it won't help you focus.
Father.
During your lifetime,
I don't think...
I've ever addressed you like that.
I was...
a son who wasn't friendly or kindhearted.
But still... Well...
If you were still alive,
I'm not sure whether you'd be proud of me,
but I can guarantee...
that you wouldn't be embarrassed by me.
Also,
there is another thing...
that I never got to tell you.
Even now, it's not easy for me to say out loud.
But it's my deepest regret...
not being able to tell you...
that I love you.
I love you, Father.
(I love you, Father.)
That was great.
Doesn't your heart feel more at peace?
It does feel like a weight...
- has been lifted. - Right.
- Thank you for this opportunity. - Don't mention it.
Your father will be watching this.
Yes.
Then he should also say something.
He'll be watching this.
I...
(Thinking about his ill father makes him teary-eyed.)
He'll be watching this.
I...
(Thinking about his ill father makes him teary-eyed.)
You can take your time.
We have more than enough.
(Woo Joo offers him some tissues.)
Thank you.
You looked so cool just now.
You looked awesome.
One thing...
I really didn't want to do was...
cry on a variety show.
What's the antithesis of a bucket list?
Nothing is going as you planned today.
You live alone, so you wanted to eat a home-cooked meal.
I wanted to eat grilled fish.
And I didn't want to cry on a variety show.
(He failed not to cry on a variety show.)
(Going through a rough patch as a rookie)
- Gosh. - I guess...
expectation and reality don't always line up.
Exactly.
When I try to say something...
Gosh, I don't think I can do this.
It would be meaningful to call him out.
I talk to my parents using the familiar form.
It's just so hard to begin.
Dad.
Are you...
watching me on TV?
Before this show,
you must've seen me...
sitting at the Paeksang Arts Awards.
I'm not sure if I won an award.
I wish I'd have already thanked you...
at the awards ceremony by the time you watch this.
After you...
Before you collapsed,
I always thought...
you were so strong.
Now that I see you so weak,
to be honest,
I'm a little...
afraid to face the fact.
So I couldn't come to the hospital to see you often.
So...
I feel really guilty.
From now on,
I'll try to express how I feel...
and come to see you more often.
And I'll work harder...
to be a better actor.
I love you, Dad.
That was nice.
That was brave of you to say that.
We did a lot of things for the first time here.
In Dining Together,
this is our first time not to do the dishes after dinner.
- No, you should wash them. - The cups? I'll do that.
- The cups? I'll do that. - Oh, right.
We should wash the cups. My bad.
I even cleaned the house before you came in.
- We don't do cleaning. - You don't?
We only do the dishes.
(It's time to do the dishes now.)
Let's go wash the cups.
That was a lot of fun.
It was fun.
I will wash them.
(They just wash some cups and dishes.)
Was it hard today?
No.
How was it?
It was so fun.
- Time passed quickly, right? - Yes.
- We simply talk about life. - I liked it a lot.
You didn't know you'd send a message to your dad...
with teary eyes, did you?
(He didn't know he'd cry.)
I'll be embarrassed to watch it on TV.
It's okay.
If it weren't for this show,
I wouldn't have said things like that.
You're right.
- You were worried a lot? - Yes.
You must've been afraid to be in Dining Together.
I was worried a lot,
but I had a great time thanks to you.
- Really? - You made me feel comfortable.
We don't have a lot of dishes to wash.
Say "'Thank you, Ji Ni."
She's watching you with gratitude.
I'm doing my best.
- Pat his back too. - She's so cute.
Pat his back.
She's so adorable.
She's smart.
Did you say thank you?
She's smart.
- Let's take a picture. - 1, 2, and 3.
(They take a picture all together.)
I was born in the early 1970s,
and he was in the late 1970s.
We're growing old together.
You're trying too hard to find a connection.
- I have a lot of gray hair, but... - I know.
All right.
1, 2, and 3.
In Dasan-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul,
they met the 219th...
and 220th families for Dining Together.
Thanks to Dining Together, I made a lot of good memories...
that I can cherish for a long time.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Bye.
Si An, say bye.
(He looks like a model.)
(Are they doing a photo shoot?)
(Professional vibe)
(Today's dinner mates are...)
(Hwang Min Hyun and Han Hye Jin.)
(Kyung Kyu and Ho Dong are excited to meet Hye Jin.)
(Shy)
(Little did they know...)
(the future that would await them.)
(She let loose her instinct as a model.)
(Falling into a trance)
(Kyung Kyu senses that it's not going right.)
(Popping up)
(He throws himself to stop her.)
(He ends up getting infected.)
(I'm a professional model.)
(You should go.)
(Kyung Kyu tries to get rid of the infectious agent.)
(Despite his effort, Ho Dong gets infected too.)
(I'm not ashamed.)
(There's nothing to be ashamed.)
(It's beautiful.)
(Trudging along)
(Kyung Kyu runs away.)
(He thought he did, but...)
(This is nice. This is what we do.)
(Take a picture of me.)
(Giggling)
(Where are they ringing doorbells today?)
(Hapjeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul)
(They are embarrassed to ring doorbells.)
(The doorbell effect makes her forget that she's a model.)
(Good luck.)
(Yes! It's broken.)
(Dumbfounded)
(She's excited that the doorbell is broken.)
(What are they going to do?)
(Dining Together)
