(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.)
Providing a variety of fun,
we are at the JTBC studio in Ilsan.
As the recording begins...
in a solemn atmosphere,
there are two people who seem to be professionals.
Who could they be?
Kyung Kyu,
we are at the JTBC studio in Ilsan.
- This studio? - It has been...
just a month since they completed the construction.
It's so brand-new.
Yes, they made it solely for productions.
We need to change our opening remarks...
to studio recordings.
- Instead of shooting it outside? - Exactly.
They should use computer graphics to make it look like we're outside.
It'll be much easier for us.
I wish they'd do that.
- Shall we go in, Kyung Kyu? - Let's go.
(They enter the studio Kyung Kyu loves so much.)
It hasn't even been a month since they finished the construction.
- Exactly. - Doesn't it feel so different...
- from the JTBC studio in Sangam? - It's completely different.
This is a production studio.
The one in Sangam is used as an office as well,
- Yes. - and this is just for production.
That's right.
Gosh, they have an elevator as well.
The studio is on the fifth floor.
- What? - The studio is on the fifth floor.
- Haven't you been here before? - No, it's my first time here.
I didn't even know they built it.
- They don't... - You didn't know?
They don't even let me in on things anymore.
Why don't they like you?
It's not that they don't like me. They just didn't invite me.
I'm preparing some shows on my own,
to cope with it.
It's called, "Cooler and My Fridge".
"Men Not on a Mission" and "Cooler and My Fridge".
- I see. - Those two.
I'm thinking that...
it could be a Newscaster Special today.
That could be it.
Our dinner mates today might be newscasters.
Kyung Kyu, the camera is rolling!
(Grand music comes on!)
This is a famous current affairs show, you know.
I know.
- They debate all night... - That's right.
until they come to a conclusion.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
I am Newscaster Song Min Gyo.
Today's topic on "Tonight's Debate" will be...
"Will it be okay to leave the hosts of 'Dining Together'..."
"as they are?"
- They are talking about us. - We will find out.
Let me introduce our guests for today.
Welcome.
(Who will join us for "Tonight's Debate with Dining Together"?)
She got her job as an actress through MBC's open recruitment...
and was recognized for her acting skills in dramas,
and even showed off her great sense of humor...
through comical skits.
She was also able to take a role...
as a variety show MC with her witty skills.
It feels like I'm with my comedian pals.
- Is that offensive to you? - Of course! Call me a comedienne.
Kim Won Hee is one of the top MC's in the country...
who is in the same league as top entertainers.
He is a born entertainer...
who calls himself an idol.
He had a warm meal with us...
as his last show before his enlistment...
and has returned after fulfilling his duty in the military...
as an upgraded paper doll.
Kwang Hee is writing a new history with his way with words...
and physiques that are just right for variety shows.
The two veterans of variety shows,
Won Hee and Kwang Hee are here to share a meal.
We will now begin our debate.
I have seen several episodes of "Dining Together"...
and I always questioned their MC skills.
I've never acted like that during my experience.
Looking at Kyung Kyu, I even feel skeptical sometimes.
- Why is that? - He steps out of the camera...
and even looks at the time.
Whenever I see him acting like that...
It's not like he's the only one who has other plans.
I just think that we should fully invest our time...
for the show when we have a shoot.
We need to make enough footage...
so that the staff can come up with an episode...
and edit it accordingly.
- I oppose to that opinion. - Do you?
The reason I'm here...
is all thanks to Ho Dong.
I learned a lot from him.
However, there are times when...
we get enough footage.
If we've got enough, we should stop...
- That's not how it... Oh my! - Excuse me.
- Hello. - Kyung Kyu!
- The two MC's... - Hello.
- have arrived at the studio. - Hello.
- Please have a seat. - Sure.
- She is Newscaster Song Min Gyo. - I know.
She was on the production press conference for "Dining Together"...
This is the problem, you see.
Why would you mention that here?
- Oh, wait. We're on the same team. - Are you two disagreeing?
- No. - I think this show is the problem.
- You don't like this show? - Why would you debate all night?
They're just making sure to come to a conclusion.
Life has no conclusion.
You always told us not to look at the time,
but to look at where the compass is leading us.
That's why I'm always ready to leave...
- He's headed for that way. - That's right.
- I'm ready... - Min Gyo...
is JTBC's main sportscaster.
- She was at Wimbledon. - That has nothing to do with this.
- She was there. - It's TMI.
- I guess he kills time this way. - That's why it takes so long.
Anyway, they have pointed out...
that the dinner mates are having a hard time...
because Ho Dong does not stick to the subject.
What do you think about that?
Well, I've talked about my philosophy and attitude on the show.
- The thing is... - Your what?
What was that about?
Your commentaries are so long because you try to use English.
- He does that sometimes. - Okay...
I thought he was just stuttering.
- I thought something went wrong. - I thought he was spitting.
These comments are unnecessary.
- That's right. - How can you call it unnecessary?
Shooting footage is...
- all about giving them enough... - Giving them choices?
- Giving them a variety of footage, - That's important.
so that they can choose which to use!
- I agree with that. - You know what?
- Won Hee. - Yes?
You'll see when we begin the outdoor shoot today.
Have you heard of green colored leaves?
Colored leaves?
There's something called, "green colored leaves".
- Like in the card games? - Exactly.
He says we have to find the green colored leaves...
and when we look up,
the sky will be clear.
We did that for two years straight.
- The green colored leaves. - Under the green colored leaves.
It was always edited out.
He's going to make us do it again today.
Why do we have to keep doing that...
when it always gets edited out?
Then why do you go fishing in "The Fishermen and the City"?
That's not a show.
(What? That's not a show.)
I just go fishing and they follow me with cameras.
What are you talking about?
- Then... - Kyung Kyu!
That's not a show!
I just went fishing...
and they filmed me! I asked them why...
and they said they wanted to use it in a show!
So I said, "Okay."
Without a fee?
They did give me money, but...
- I didn't ask for it. - They gave you money?
Then why do you go fishing,
when you can just buy fish?
- For the experience. - See? It's the same!
Then why are we pressing the doorbell?
We can just eat at a restaurant!
- Is that your complaint? - What?
That's what I'm telling you!
- Some people have... - You're so frustrating!
- pointed out that... - Stop making our voices overlap!
You should keep quiet when I'm talking!
He said, "Stop making our voices overlap."
We're the guests today.
You should listen to what we have to say...
and cut in between our lines.
We aren't the guests.
- We're the ones who invited her. - Who did?
Our staff did.
- You're so frustrating! - You're so frustrating!
She didn't invite us...
We invited her?
We're the ones who invited her.
I apologize.
- She's so calm, though. - I'm sorry.
- She must be baffled, - I'm sorry.
not that she's trying to be calm.
I'm sorry.
- We will have to wrap up... - Yes.
- It's time. - because it is time for you...
- to go and ring the doorbells. - Come with us.
- Just one house. - This was your host,
- Newscaster Song Min Gyo. - Come with us.
Come on, come with us and comment on our show.
You need to come and see what our show is like!
Please wrap it up.
Come with us.
- Come and see for yourself. - I...
I have to prepare for live news.
- I should go. - What time is the show?
It airs at 6:20pm.
That's so far away.
Where do we have to go?
Why are you coming along?
Come on!
I was on your side the whole time!
Is it your first time to see him since he was discharged?
- Yes. - Yes.
He probably won't remember this.
What is it?
Two years ago,
before he was enlisted, this was his last show...
and we went to Sangdo-dong...
along with Choo Sung Hoon.
- I remember everything. - You remember all that?
It's his second time on our show?
Gosh!
- Kyung Kyu! - I'm sorry.
He means it.
- You should apologize to him, - I...
not us.
- I was surprised a while ago, - Why?
when he told me his last name was Hwang.
- I was surprised! - My name is Hwang Kwang Hee.
I thought Kwang was his last name.
Please read the note for us.
"Have dinner in..."
"Daehwa-dong, Ilsan."
- Daehwa-dong? - Daehwa-dong.
We were just talking about that.
It's right over there.
Are you going to keep going?
Today's neighborhood...
is Daehwa-dong, Goyang, in Gyeonggi Province.
It is the home to the biggest international exhibition center...
and various cultural facilities,
making it a great place to live.
The biggest artificial lake in the country at the Ilsan Lake Park...
brightens up the atmosphere...
and gives off the scent of nature in the city.
At the place with flowers and trees decorating each house,
who will they get to meet?
(Who will they meet here?)
Dining Together, episode 127,
"We Need to Talk".
(Daehwa-dong Special)
How long has it been, Won Hee?
- More than 10 years. - Yes.
I am in a very difficult position.
You three are all veteran entertainers.
Being with such veterans,
I can't say anything.
- But you say everything you want. - But really.
In the end, you are going to do what you like.
And you are not that young now.
I pretended to be young.
It's all right if you leave in the middle of the shoot.
Come on, Kyung Kyu.
- We got this. - My goal is...
to imprint my name "Hwang Kwang Hee"...
- on Kyung Kyu's mind. - Right. My goodness.
By the way, Kwnag Hee lives here.
Right. I used to stay here.
For 20 some years.
I've been living in Ilsan, Goyang since 1994.
Behind you is Janghang-dong.
- Right. - Janghang-dong.
Ilsan MBC is in Janghang-dong.
This is where Daehwa-dong starts.
Where do you live, Won Hee?
- I'm from Ilsan too. - She lives in Ilsan too.
- I am from Jeongbalsan-dong. - Jeongbalsan-dong.
- You both live in Ilsan? - Yes.
These are the green colored leaves I was talking about.
That's it. That's it.
- Finally. - This is it.
- You are in trouble. - Look.
- Won Hee, come here. - I told you.
- They call those stars... - This.
of daytime.
You mean "stars".
Stars of daytime.
You are not supposed to look at them from the side.
When you look at them from below,
they look like stars in the sky.
- Look. - It's true.
They are lovely.
- What do you think? - I have a stiff neck,
so I can't lift my neck.
When you have a chance, you should lie down.
- Lie down. Right. - And look up at the sky...
- to see the stars? - Right.
I think...
for the first time in two years, this will get aired.
- This won't be edited out. - It will go on air.
- It's because... - Really?
- It's because of... - Her stiff neck.
- Your stiff neck. - your stiff neck.
Will it be on air because of her stiff neck?
- I can't lift my neck. - It's so funny.
I was going to see the stars.
The stars of daytime.
- Day stars. - Yes.
- It's a shame. - My goodness.
What a day.
Won Hee,
you've worked with all of the greatest presenters of Korea.
She has.
- She's worked with Dong Yeob. - I've worked with many.
- She's worked with Jae Seok. - She's worked with Jae Seok.
Ho Dong and I worked together a long time ago.
We did a lot of comedy skits.
I am older, so I beat him up so much.
- Really? - He got beaten so many times.
- Right. Kwang Hee. - Yes.
- It was a long time ago. - Right.
Ho Dong and Won Hee...
were once involved in a rumor.
- I didn't know. - There was a rumor.
- The two of them? - Yes.
According to the rumor,
Ho Dong gave Won Hee...
a designer bag.
- Really? - Yes. He gave her a bag.
But Won Hee refused to accept it.
(Won Hee refused it.)
You refused it?
Ho Dong and Won Hee were once involved in a rumor.
- I didn't know. - There was a rumor.
- The two of them? - Yes.
According to the rumor,
Ho Dong gave Won Hee...
a designer bag.
- Really? - Yes. He gave her a bag.
But Won Hee refused to accept it.
(Won Hee refused it.)
You refused it?
- It's my first time to hear it. - Unbelievable.
I didn't accept it.
Right.
You gave her the bag. You did.
- Did you throw it? - You are so shameless.
I drew the line and said that this isn't okay.
You used to have a crush on her.
By the way, if we go back to that time...
Will you give her a designer bag again?
- That's... - Will you give her a bag again?
- a made-up story. - Two bags.
Now people are going to think that I actually gave you a bag.
You gave it to her, didn't you?
- "You gave it to her, didn't you?" - Won Hee...
(I lose.)
- "You gave it to her, didn't you?" - He gave her a designer bag.
(The truth of the designer bag will be revealed shortly.)
He was a humble man in the past.
This is the skyscraper of Ilsan.
There used to be nothing here.
There were rice paddies and farms.
But now high-rise apartments are built here.
Skyscrapers.
These are all new apartments. My little sister is moving in here.
Really?
Let's go to a real estate agency...
- and ask about Daehwa-dong. - Right.
Let's ask about the vibe of this area.
The real estate agents are very important to us.
They have all the information.
They can give us an idea about which area to go.
It's new.
Do you happen to have time, sir?
You are not going to ask for permission first?
Shouldn't you first ask if he's willing to be on TV?
We are here to ask you about the overall vibe of Daehwa-dong.
- Hello. - Hello.
We are going to ask him the question just like that?
How much are the apartment flats per 3.3m²?
The ones near Kintex are expensive.
A 115m² flat costs about 750,000 dollars.
It's about 23,000 dollars per 3.3m².
How about the detached houses?
For a 105m² house, it's about 500,000 dollars.
I applied for an apartment flat here but didn't get it.
My little sister did, though.
- The one right in front of this? - The one being built now.
The competition must've been intense.
You envy your little sister.
She got the flat on the best floor too.
The 20th floor.
There's a half-floor part too.
(Envious of her sister, Won Hee gives too much information.)
- This is life. - I came and...
looked at the show rooms there and the show rooms here.
- This is why she mentioned it. - I never have any luck.
I never have any luck with these things.
But my little sister always gets lucky.
(Let's give Won Hee some time to relax.)
In the '90s, there was a real estate speculation boom.
To calm it down, they developed new cities.
- Ilsan was the first. - Bundang, Pyeongchon,
and Jungdong.
(Bundang, Pyeongchon, and Jungdong are included.)
So new residential buildings are now being built.
How far will the residential area stretch?
This whole area.
All those lands used to be empty lots.
Even Kintex wasn't there then.
- This area was a big farmland. - Right.
I moved to Moonchon Village in 1994.
In the early 90s, the new city, Ilsan was developed.
Unlike Ilsandong-gu,
which was developed fast with the lake park in the center,
Ilsanseo-gu across the lake had a slow development.
But recently, cultural spaces...
and high-rise apartments...
as well as a convention center, a big shopping mall,
and a stadium were built in the area.
With this, Daehwa-dong is now rising as the new center of Ilsan.
(Daehwa-dong is rising as the new center of Ilsan.)
We have to go to Daehwa-dong.
What is the ratio...
of detached houses...
to high-rise apartments?
In front of Kintex, there's an area with 3 to 4-story-high houses.
There are shops on the first floors, and people live above them.
- Small apartments. - Small apartments.
But don't multiple families live in one apartment?
They do.
We can kill several birds with one stone then.
We might. We can kill several birds with one stone.
That residential area has a lot of cafes.
That area has a nice vibe. The houses are pretty too.
We will try going there.
- We will get going. - Yes.
- Thank you, sir. - Thank you.
Wait. That's...
That's the high school Kwang Hee graduated from.
- Is that right? - It's right there.
Juyeop High School.
This is his town.
But Juyeop High School is strange.
It's not in Juyeop-dong. It's in Daehwa-dong.
Is there Juyeop-dong too?
Over there is Juyeop-dong.
But this is Daehwa-dong.
Did you come out on the same day...
just because you both live in Ilsan?
Today is a Doll Special.
- Doll? - Yes.
(Laughing)
You are the doll.
- She's the Barbie doll. - She's the Barbie doll.
- What are you talking about? - What kind of doll is he?
- He's a paper doll. - A paper doll.
(Barbie doll versus paper doll)
He lost so much weight though.
I can just carry him like this.
By the way, Kwang Hee,
did you intentionally go on a diet or did you happen to lose weight?
I was anxious that there wouldn't be a place...
for me when I get discharged from the army.
I thought I'd try to look handsome, so I lost weight.
But in the photos, I looked like a skull.
- You had lost too much weight. - Yes.
Your eyes look different too.
Yes. I got the eyeliner tattoo recently.
She figured it out right away. She's amazing.
Your eyes are too defined.
- The eyelashes? - He got the eyeliner tattoo.
- The eyeliner tattoo. - The eyeliner.
- You can get that tattooed too? - Yes.
You can get tattoos everywhere these days.
Getting tattooed hurts more than getting plastic surgery.
- Does it? - But I endure the pain.
What if people...
Who's the idol...
Rhododendrons.
- What? - Who's the idol you remember?
- Idol? - Don't look at me.
Symbol of May.
He keeps telling me to look at the rhododendrons, the symbol of May.
- He wants you to play along. - Symbol of May.
I have rhododendrons in my garden.
- Stop it. - I'm just telling you.
- Right. - Kwang Hee.
- Isn't there a mall nearby? - He doesn't listen.
- A mall? We just passed by it. - Yes.
Gosh.
Buy her a designer bag.
You are so mean.
- You keep bringing it up. - My stomach hurts.
Because you keep making jokes, Kwang Hee thinks it really happened.
What joke?
She does that.
- You are unbelievable. - My goodness.
- My gosh. - Come on.
- I should stop talking about it. - Wait.
- I... - Then what about...
the letter that came with the bag?
- What? - That letter...
Did someone else write it?
- What have I... - Don't do that.
What have I done wrong?
At least bring me an envelope.
I wrote you a letter?
A letter. A letter.
- Who's telling the truth? - My gosh.
It's because...
(What's the truth behind the designer bag?)
That is understandable. It's all right.
Look at those green colored leaves.
- Try to freshen up your mind. - Lovely.
- Look at the stars. - Try to refresh yourself.
When we go that way...
It's filled with green colored leaves.
- This is bad. - It's everywhere.
Look.
I've never seen so many green colored leaves before.
- Man. - My goodness.
Look through the leaves into the sky.
It's so pretty.
It's like Bijarim Forest in Jeju Island.
- Goodness. - Isn't it beautiful?
- It's a great place to live. - You know,
looking at these green trees...
makes me very depressed.
- I thought he would be happy. - Depressed?
If you get depressed, shouldn't we end this quickly?
(Will Kyung Kyu survive?)
This is the residential area. There are multiplex houses.
Oh, it's the residential area.
(They walk into the residential area through the green leaves.)
- Looks great. - Not bad.
- Are those houses with shops? - Yes.
It looks very peaceful,
- as if they'll eat dinner on time. - You're right.
Look, isn't it peaceful and beautiful?
- Goodness. - What's that?
- Isn't it pretty? - Oh, is that a cafe?
- It's a house. - That's a house?
It's a house. Is this a house or a cafe?
- It's a house. - It's a house?
- It's under construction. - It's so pretty.
He's so cute.
How long have you lived there?
You should do an interview.
He's handsome.
He's so cute. He doesn't even bark.
- Yes, you're right. - It's so gentle.
Look at this house. It's so pretty.
Right? It looks kind of old, but...
- You're right. - It's built very well.
Looks very durable.
It's so pretty.
The neighborhood itself looks very cozy.
- It's green and peaceful. - It's great.
The neighborhood looks great. Doesn't it?
I like how the area is low.
There are houses next to this place,
and there's a flat multiplex house here.
- Sounds great. - That's why it looks peaceful.
- You're right. - The trees and buildings are...
the same height, making it look peaceful.
(Will the four members have a meal here today?)
Pick out a place.
- That we'll visit tonight? - You should pick out...
which house will let you in the quickest...
with your instinct.
Doesn't this look great? That's so beautiful.
I really like this too. I love looking after the garden.
Yes.
- Look, green colored leaves. - Green colored leaves.
I can't go anywhere else because these are right here.
I got stuck with these leaves.
This one is so pretty.
- Stand right here. - What?
You'll take this picture and stop mentioning the green colored leaves.
- Really? - Okay.
Won Hee has a way with him.
Look over here.
And 1, 2, 3. Look over here.
What is that concept?
You surprised me.
- Oh, you like doing this. - I'm smelling it.
- I told you back in the studio. - About what?
That she'll get dragged under a tree a few times.
Exactly, yes.
It's the worst today.
I've never seen so many trees in a residential area.
You're right. You rarely see a mix of those two.
It's the worst with so many trees here.
Look at this.
- Look. - Hey.
It even has the flower's name. Peony.
It's so pretty.
All four of them are different kinds.
But I like these wildflowers...
more than those flowers.
This is unexpected.
- This is pretty. It's so pretty. - It's pretty.
Exactly.
- But it came out unexpected. - Look at him.
He keeps on doing this.
Talk to them.
(Coming in)
It just bloomed. Leave it alone.
Don't do it.
You hate it even more because Ho Dong loves it.
Man, I really...
He's too dry.
I have no idea which one of you to side with.
It's tough for me too. Honestly, it's tough.
You're all too different.
(Running...)
(forward!)
(Kyung Kyu is having fun destroying Ho Dong's emotions.)
Ho Dong, will you please look at the houses?
Why do you keep looking at plants?
You should just host a show on EBS on plants.
- I really want to. - Look at the houses...
- to see which one we'll go to. - That house is pretty.
That's so pretty.
Do you know which tree that is?
- This one? - The white one.
If you get this one right... What's that white tree?
- I know. - What is it?
That's a bridal wreath tree.
(A bridal wreath tree)
- He got it right? - He did.
Not many people know this.
You're a plant genius.
I told you that I like plants.
Yes, trees. He used to give trees as a present often.
He even knows the bridal wreath tree.
He isn't just a normal guy. You have to give it to him.
- Really? - He knows what a bridal wreath is.
Then tell them that the story about me giving you that bag is a joke.
What's the truth?
- Won Hee, come here. - Do I have to?
- Just this one. - Here.
I told you that you'll be dragged here and there a couple of times.
If this is how it's going to be, I don't think I needed to come.
No, the second part is more important.
The second part?
Come on, hurry up.
- Where? - It's like they're on a date.
(Amazed)
Isn't it amazing?
I remember that it was a white bag.
(She remembered that day with the scent of lilac.)
- Won Hee. - Lilac smells great.
(Ragged)
Won Hee is amazing.
I shouldn't have given it back.
He would've been shocked if I brought the bag today.
I could have come out like this.
And I could've tortured him.
Will you keep the shooting short or long?
- Come on. - Will it be short or long?
My gosh, there are bridal wreath trees everywhere.
- Gosh. - This isn't a bridal wreath.
- It's pretty. - This is the greenest town.
- It's very green. - Nature-friendly.
- Really. - Then I'll keep my friendship...
- of 20 years with Won Hee. - Was this friendship?
(Team Ho Dong and Won Hee, between love and friendship)
Kwang Hee?
I've done a few programs with Ho Dong lately,
- and I've grown a bit tired... - Sounds great.
with his style.
- I want to see a different style. - Right?
- I wanted to do it with you. - Okay. Sounds great.
We're in this talkative Daehwa-dong.
We talked a lot today.
We're here with Kwang Hee and Won Hee.
Here is a drama without scripts.
- Dining Together. - Dining Together.
What was that? What did he suddenly do?
- A chant. - Did you do it?
"Here is a drama without scripts."
(Shocked!)
That's embarrassing.
- I just found out too. - I thought he was casting a spell.
(Embarrassed)
I guess that's what happens.
They put the truth of the brand-name bag behind.
It's finally the time to talk to the people of Daehwa-dong.
(Starting to ring the doorbell at 6pm)
Do you go to Juyeop High School?
You're right.
- Juyeop High School? - Yes, it's nearby. My juniors.
- They're your juniors? - Yes.
Hi, guys.
Hi. You're my junior.
- Do you go to Juyeop High School? - No, Daehwa High School.
- Daehwa High School. - Daehwa High School?
I went to Daehwa High School often.
- Why? - Daehwa High School?
I have a story.
I'm glad to see you. You're my junior too.
Why? Did someone else give you a bag there too?
(He won't even let me say anything.)
And 1, 2, 3.
(My senior, a success, a glorious return, Juyeop and Daehwa High)
Should we go first?
Kyung Kyu, their front gate is unique too.
- The hole. - It makes the gate a piece of art.
(The front gate is designed uniquely.)
That's pretty cool.
- What happened to you? - Look at that gate.
Ho Dong was not emotional at all in the old days.
- Really? - He's very emotional now.
- Come here. - Will they go first?
Do I go first?
I saw this on TV, and I get to do it.
I'll stop making unnecessary remarks.
Their car is here.
(They finally ring the first house!)
- Did she ring the bell? - Show your face to the camera.
- Will they succeed? - They can't see me.
(Completely nervous)
- Are they not home? - It takes time to walk out.
- No, they aren't home. - Who is it?
- Hello? - Yes.
- Hello. - Yes.
- Can you see me? - Yes.
(Touched)
I am...
- Kim Won Hee, a TV personality. - Yes.
- I live in Ilsan. - All of a sudden?
(She suddenly tells him that she lives here.)
Have you eaten?
- He's done. - Yes.
You didn't even think about it.
- Did you really eat? - Dinner.
Yes.
- Wait. - You answered me too quickly.
Are you the son?
No, the homeowner.
Oh, you're the owner? I'm sorry.
You sounded very young.
Sir, do you know what this program is?
Yes.
(His simple answers makes them laugh.)
I hope your shooting goes well.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Have a wonderful night. - Yes.
It's not easy, is it?
- It's not that. - It's nerve-racking.
I thought he was the son, but he's the homeowner.
But he answered all of your questions.
- Kwang Hee. - It's my turn now.
- This house is also... - It's Kwang Hee's turn.
They ordered water. I think they're probably home.
Okay. I'll hold this here.
Take your time. Don't rush it.
(He rings his very first house.)
(Snug)
Kyung Kyu is overdoing this too.
This is the real deal. He told me that this is the important part.
This is the part that makes it on TV.
- Maybe they aren't home. - Let's go.
- What? They didn't open the door? - They aren't home.
- They aren't. - They aren't home.
Maybe they didn't want to open it for you, Kwang Hee.
Come on, Won Hee.
- We can't know that. - Seriously?
Hey, look.
If they didn't take in the delivery,
that means they aren't home yet.
- Won Hee, look. - I can hear the dog.
- Go in when you get a sign. - Yes.
Wait! Kyung Kyu, it's our turn.
Hurry up and press the button.
Come on, you can't go.
- That's cheating. - Where's the front gate?
- We're going to ring the bell. - She's glad to see you.
Hello. She opened the door.
- Hello. - Yes.
Ma'am, do you recognize the guest?
- Yes. - Who is it?
Kim Won Hee.
What's important is that she isn't just a stranger.
She lives in this district too.
Where do you live?
- In Jeongbalsan-dong. - See?
- And... - This is Ilsan Seo-gu.
- Oh, are the districts different? - I live in Ilsan Dong-gu.
(The owner drew a line over their locations.)
- Do you know this show? - I do.
We don't have the menu figured out yet.
Wait, I just saw something.
Did you just order chicken feet?
She had it delivered home.
I don't think they opened it yet.
- We only ordered a little bit. - You did, didn't you?
How many servings did you order?
- Only 2. - Only 2 servings.
Ho Dong smelled the right house.
Then let's do this some other time.
- Thank you. - Enjoy your food.
Keep up your spirit, son.
Thank you.
Enjoy your food.
Okay.
(Disappointed)
They only ordered two servings,
and they thought Ho Dong would finish that.
- The lights are on over there. - Okay.
(They found a multiplex house with lights on!)
Hey.
(It's not ringing, but buzzing.)
What? Is this a radio or something?
What?
(The two men are flustered with the broken bell.)
The bell is weird.
Maybe you broke it.
(What are we going to do?)
- Come back. Let's run away. - No.
That would look like a prank. Try again.
Look, this is literature too. It's here to let the passerby...
- get some rest. - That's pretty.
They're so considerate.
It's for others to sit here and look at the flowers.
(They're scared of the non-stopping bell.)
It'll go off in time.
Don't touch it.
People are very good-natured here.
We're trying to figure this out.
- Hey. - How can you just sit around?
I can see why he gets criticized.
Why do you bring literature into this? My gosh.
- Is this broken or what? - The windows all look shut.
- Won Hee. - Let's go.
- Look at these flowers. - I'm sorry.
People...
- Wait. - The flowers again?
He's going to say that people can't make this color.
I mean, how was...
- this shape made? - This show is over three years old.
And is this the way you have done this to this day?
What do we do about this?
Just leave it.
It stopped. Come on out. Come on.
- Don't touch it. - I'm so sorry, sir.
They aren't home yet.
- Oh, they aren't home yet. - Not yet.
- Oh, it's all closed. - It's so pretty. I wanted to see.
Look at that house. Over there. The arch.
- Why do they have an arch? - It would be great to eat here.
- It's a yard. - Then ring their bell.
If they're home, it's someone who keeps a garden.
- A bridal wreath tree. - Where?
The flower language of that tree isn't too positive.
- It means vanity. - I see.
Hello?
- Yes. - Hello?
I think I'm hearing things.
Hello?
- I don't think they're home. - They aren't.
Let's go.
(The bell chimes clearly.)
Ding-dong.
(Kwang Hee only rings non-responsive bells.)
The smell. It smells great.
- Are you a student? - Yes.
It has been a week, about 10 days since we moved.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
Ma'am, we'll make another opportunity later.
And 2, 3.
Hey, talk to them.
(Kwang Hee and Kyung Kyu talk for the first time.)
Hello.
Goodness.
Hello, ma'am. We're shooting Dining Together.
(The dog owner is happier to see the dog.)
- I'm ill right now. - Oh, I see.
- Then we shouldn't do this. - I'm so sorry.
Okay. Thank you.
Where are you headed?
- The one above. - The house above?
Ma'am.
I can't hear anything. Why is he doing that?
- People don't answer. - No one is home.
You must be hearing things.
We might fail if this goes on.
I'm hungry. I'm kind of hungry.
Hello?
- Hey, it's my turn. - Ma'am.
Hello, ma'am.
Don't say that.
She hung up.
You suddenly barged in. You're worse than Ho Dong.
Can't I just greet them for you?
You pretended like you are so gentle.
But you're tougher than Ho Dong.
(Will they be able to eat a meal today?)
Goodness, morning glory.
Gosh, morning glory.
- Right here. - Look at that.
(A super close-up)
What are you doing, Ho Dong?
Are you farsighted? Why are you looking at it like this?
- He does that. - Why do you zoom in so much?
It's our turn. Come quickly.
Oh, is it our turn?
Give it a try.
(Will they succeed this time?)
Who is it?
- Ma'am. - Hello?
Talk to her.
(Door opening)
- Hello. - Goodness. Yes.
By any chance, do you know me?
Yes, I do.
- I'm so relieved. - Tell her.
I live in Ilsan.
- Right now... - Oh, this is that thing.
- Dining Together. - Goodness.
What were you up to?
Right now?
- She must be about to eat. - She's thinking.
Oh, my husband is coming back from Seoul.
- Oh, you two? - It's just the two of us,
and I look after my grandson, so I have a babysitter here.
Oh, I see.
- Okay, I see. - Yes.
How many of you will come?
- Two. - The two of us. With Ho Dong.
- My goodness. - Hello.
This is unbelievable.
- Is it a success? - May I open the door, ma'am?
- Yes. - Whose house is this?
- Mine. - Oh, really?
You said you have your grandchild here.
It's because both my daughter and my son-in-law are doctors.
They had a tough time having a kid, so I brought the kid here.
To help them out?
- How old is the baby? - Six months.
- Six months? - I see.
- Then can you... - About the meal.
It's a little early,
but I just need to make rice.
- Yes. - I'm a huge fan of the show.
- I really love it. - Exactly.
You can all eat together when your husband gets here.
- He's here. - He's coming?
- Let's go. - Hello, sir.
- Sir. - Honey.
- My gosh. - He doesn't watch TV,
- so he may not know. - My gosh.
Tell him.
- Hello. - Sir.
- Hello. - Yes.
- She's Kim Won Hee, an actress. - I'm Kim Won Hee.
Hello. You came home at perfect timing.
Are you coming home from work?
I watch your show a lot, but he doesn't really watch TV.
It's a program called Dining Together.
We're just going to eat what we have and shoot the show here.
- She knows everything. - She does.
- What? - I know Dining Together.
- Do you know Dining Together? - He knows.
- Of course. - I just have to make rice.
- I don't mind. - Will you be...
Ho Dong and Won Hee's family?
- Do I just take this? - Yes.
- Okay, go in. - I can't believe it.
- Come on. - Are we the first try?
No, we got turned down a few times.
We have to let them go in and leave.
- Go in. - Yes, go in.
- Okay. - Bye.
We have diabetes,
so we only eat vegetables without any meat.
- I'm a vegetarian too. - Bad news for you.
You probably need meat.
No, I like vegetables too.
- Is it okay if I take a bit? - Of course.
- Yes. - Let's go in and have a chat.
See you later. This is the end.
My gosh, what is this? This is unbelievable.
- Let's go. - We'll get going.
- Good luck. - Okay.
- We'll go inside. - Hello.
Do you need some time to clean up?
Should we go inside in five minutes?
- You can clean up... - I don't have to clean up...
- because of the baby. - Really?
Ma'am, your doorway is already filled with flowers.
When you pass through the flowers to go inside...
you can see her deep love for her grandchild.
Let us go into the dinnertime...
of Daehwa-dong that reminds you of your grandparents.
(Welcome.)
(Thrilled)
You're so cute. Are you wearing clothes?
- He's wearing jammies. - My goodness.
He doesn't cry.
- You can go to Grandpa. - Come to Grandpa.
Go to Grandpa.
(Going into his grandpa's arms)
Did you cut his hair like this on purpose? In two-block style?
He has so much hair that it got into his eyes,
so his dad cut his hair.
Even the back? It's in two-block style.
Isn't that cute?
Tae Oh is the youngest guest of this year.
Oh, right.
(The youngest guest of the year 2019)
Gosh, you're good at holding him.
He must look after him often.
- Me? - Yes.
Did you name him yourself?
- No, his dad's father. - Oh, his dad's side.
- Why are you crying? - What's wrong?
(Whining)
It's okay.
Goodness, what happened?
- He's six months old. - He's drooling.
There, there.
It's okay.
Goodness.
(I want food, not a handkerchief.)
Don't cry.
He's crying with his eyes closed.
(I'm hungry and sleepy.)
- It's okay. - Don't cry.
(Tae Oh takes off to eat first.)
Do you want to lie down and eat?
It must be time for Tae Oh to eat too.
He had a great meal with milk...
and went to sleep first.
(Tae Oh went to sleep.)
Sir, how many children do you have?
I have a princess and a daughter.
- I see. - Yes.
- Two daughters? - Yes.
Are they both married?
Of course. They're both married.
And your daughter is a doctor?
Yes.
- What's her specialty? - A dermatologist.
- A dermatologist. - Oh, a dermatologist?
- In Ilsan? - No, Bangbae-dong.
Gosh, my neck got stiff.
- Oh, in Bangbae-dong. - Yes.
That's why you two have such great skin.
Both of your daughters are doctors?
No, the younger one. She's also the mother...
- of Tae Oh. - Was he their first child?
Yes, they had him after eight years,
after many tries with test tubes.
Did you look after him as soon as he was born?
No, I brought him when he was 100 days old.
- I volunteered to do that. - When he was 100 days old.
He actually made all those to educate the baby.
- He made the Korean alphabets. - Mr. Park, you made these?
- Did he make this himself? - Yes.
- It's for the baby. - This?
Why do you have a bar here? What is this for?
- To correct his gaze. - Do you know the magic stick...
- that Sun Wukong carries? - Yes, here is Zhu Bajie.
- I'm Zhu Bajie, Mr. Park. - Yes.
- Oh, you can use that. - The gaze.
- I let him look at the red. - The red.
Anyway, he's only six months old,
but you're teaching him the Korean alphabet already?
People educate babies even in the womb.
- Oh, like prenatal education? - We do that.
- Yes. - Did he learn some of these?
He told me that he did.
Oh, I see. You're teaching him Korean already.
My goodness.
- Don't turn it. - Gosh, numbers.
Goodness, numbers.
You are good at making things with your hands.
My husband is an engineer, so he used the can...
for baby formula to make that.
- He made this too? - Yes.
- I see. That's amazing. - Goodness.
Everything here is numbers too.
- I see. - It's for him to keep studying.
That's amazing.
- Mr. Park. - Wait.
Where's the word "grandpa"?
And his grandpa made this too.
- Were you being humble? - No.
The number of letters do not line up.
There wasn't enough room for four Korean letters.
And my grandson told me to leave out the baldy.
That's why I left it out.
(Mr. Park is so witty.)
Is it your first time in Ilsan?
I live in Jeongbalsan-dong.
- Really? Jeongbalsan-dong? - Yes.
No wonder that place is always lit up.
(Shining brightly)
That's why it's so bright.
There's a tennis court in Ilsan Dong-gu Office.
- In Ilsan Dong-gu Office? - Yes.
I play tennis there.
Oh, that place was very bright too.
It's because I'm bald.
(Laughing hysterically)
I think I kind of know what he's like.
I don't think we need to be too reserved with you.
You seem very delightful.
- I am. - Right?
He's not showing us everything that he has.
Okay, then. Let's prepare our dinner together.
- It's okay. - Just give us what you have.
Let's just eat quickly.
I have young radish kimchi.
Young radish kimchi is enough, Ms. Lee.
I just washed the ingredients.
- Goodness. - And fermented soybean stew.
We can just eat this with rice.
We eat like this because it's just us two.
- It's... - We lived here for 25 years.
It doesn't look that old.
- I'll go interview Mr. Park. - Okay.
We redecorated the house.
- You did, didn't you? - Yes.
Yes, it doesn't look that old.
- It's so pretty. - We brought our kids up here,
so we never thought of moving elsewhere.
- I see. - And we just liked it here too.
You can just make it quick.
- Okay. I'll just cook rice. - Don't make anything fancy.
- I have to wash rice. - Do you need a hand?
Not at all.
- I'm not a good cook, but... - It's okay.
- I'd like to help out. - Not at all.
Take a seat. Things are a mess right here.
There is nothing for you to do.
(The lady gets ready to cook rice.)
(Is there anything I can do?)
(She finds something to do.)
(She cleans up the table so fast.)
- Can I help you? - No, thanks.
- I can cook rice well. - It's okay. I'll do it.
All I should do is cook rice. And the spinach...
- I should help you with something. - No, it's okay.
Just take a seat.
Please sit down. I'll just cook rice.
- Shall I press the button? - Okay.
This one?
- It is canceled. - No, it's not.
(The lady presses the right button in one go.)
- Starts cooking. - All right.
I just prepared the vegetables to make a salad.
As the lady dominates the kitchen,
Won Hee rather decides to chat with her.
She's really good at it since she's a smooth talker.
You seem to be just a few years older than me.
Me? I'm 65 years old.
You're still young.
Thank you. I grew quite old these days though.
I'm going to season the spinach with chogochujang...
- Oh, chogochujang? - as I have some left.
I hosted a show about housework.
- You did? - Yes.
(Washing hands first before cooking)
I can't fall asleep easily at night,
so I watch your show a lot.
I watched reruns of Dining Together too,
so I know this show.
- That's why you opened the door. - I didn't imagine you'd come here.
I'm putting in roasted salt.
Roasted salt?
You mean bamboo salt?
No. I roast salt myself.
- At home? - Yes.
I buy mineral salt,
roast it, and give it out to my children too.
(Blanching the spinach in the salted water)
(Rinsing it with cold water right away)
You're doing it so quickly.
Me? I'm quite nimble.
There is nothing I can help her with because she is working so fast.
There is nothing much I should do now.
I'll cut it twice since it's long.
I already had chogochujang,
and I'll add some honey to it.
It's spring now, so it'll be good to eat something sour.
- Please taste it. - Okay.
- Try it. - Oh, my. It looks so good.
(Feeling pain)
What is it? Did you drop it?
I have a herniated cervical disc,
and I bent my head back too much.
- Is it okay? - Yes, it's really good.
(It's so good that she can forget about her neck pain.)
(She even licks her fingers.)
- Are they whelks? - Salted octopus.
Oh, salted octopus.
(Chewy salted octopus is great with rice.)
Salted octopus is my favorite.
- Is it? Enjoy a lot. - Okay.
I made it yesterday.
Wait. The kimchi I recently cut is over here.
Your house is so neat.
No, it's not true.
We came here unannounced.
If it were me, I wouldn't let them come into my house.
- My house is a mess. - Kimchi is here.
Gosh, she is working really fast.
Ma'am.
- Yes? - Your daughter is a dermatologist,
so it'll be nice to get laser skin treatments occasionally.
I do get laser skin treatments.
When a new machine arrives, I get it to see how it works.
Skin lifting or whitening?
- Which do you prefer? - I got a skin-lifting treatment.
- Shrinking pores? - I did that too.
- Have you tried Thermage then? - Yes.
I've tried everything once or twice.
Which one do you like the most?
I don't know. I can't tell the difference.
Since I got older now, my skin looks tired.
(Dinner is almost ready now.)
I worked for Company L.
You worked for the big construction company for a long time?
Among the buildings you built,
is there any...
that you are still proud of in your mind?
Lotte World in Jamsil.
(Unbelievable)
- Did you... - Since we dug in the ground for it,
I was in charge of the machinery.
(He becomes speechless.)
You mean the Lotte World,
- that big amusement park? - Yes.
- And the department store too? - Yes.
All of them. It opened in 1988 when we held the Olympics.
We started to dig in the ground for it in 1985.
You joined the work from the start?
To build Lotte World,
he went to Disney World in Orlando...
to learn the techniques.
- About machinery. - Machinery.
If I express it in a literary way,
you built...
children's dream back then.
- I like your expression. - You do, right?
(He built children's dream back then.)
I bet you'll feel nostalgic
whenever you pass by it.
Rather than feeling nostalgic,
because there are many more taller buildings now,
I feel a little bad for it.
I see.
In fact, it used to be the symbol...
- of big constructions, right? - Right.
At first, it was something very new.
It was new even to us because there hadn't been anything...
like that before in Korea.
It was...
- dazzling. - Were there only fields and...
paddies around Lake Seokchon?
Right.
- Fields and paddies. - There were fields and paddies.
Then the building was built one day,
so even those who live in the countryside...
would charter buses and came in groups to visit it.
Ma'am.
Gosh, look at the table.
They are healthy foods. There is fermented soybean paste stew too.
- It's a feast. - Goodness.
It looks so pretty.
It's a delicious and healthy meal.
It really is a healthy meal.
(Meatballs, young radish kimchi, stir-fried anchovies, salad,)
(multi-grain rice, salted octopus, seasoned spinach, and so on)
This is a meal of an old couple in Daehwa-dong.
It's an appetizing meal filled with natural ingredients...
like green vegetables.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.
Spinach seasoned with chogochujang...
is quite rare.
I made it like that so that it's appetizing in the spring.
It tastes pretty new this way. Please try it.
Shall I try it?
Is the rice cooked well?
(Having a big bite)
(Let me have a bite too.)
This spinach is really appetizing.
That's why I seasoned it with chogochujang.
I like the stir-fried anchovies so much. It's not fishy and good.
It was in one of your shows. I roasted them first...
until they get crispy.
(It's so good that her eyes got bigger.)
- It's not fishy at all. - It's the first time...
to take out the young radish kimchi.
I needed to make a paste with flour, but I ran out of it, so...
So you made it with leftover rice?
It was a tip introduced on "General Store".
When you don't have flour,
- With leftover rice. - you can use leftover rice.
Since you hosted that show for a long time,
you must be an excellent cook.
I only have knowledge.
(I learn how to cook only in theory.)
The hostess of "General Store" who's good only in theory...
met with a real veteran housewife with great expertise...
and is enjoying a nice meal to the fullest.
Ho Dong who has been talking about nature all day...
came across a meal from real nature...
and enjoying it with his great appetite instead of his sentiments.
(His appetite explodes instead of his sentiments.)
It's a healthy dinner where they become one with nature.
(It's a healthy dinner where they become one with nature.)
Stir-fried anchovies...
remind me of my school days.
All the stir-fried anchovies I ate at my friends' houses...
tasted so good.
But those at my home was not good.
That makes your mom look bad.
But it was vice versa.
My friends ate only that side dish when they came to my home.
Are you saying the food you eat at others' places taste good?
Even fried eggs taste so good when you eat it at others' places.
How does the food at your home taste now?
It tastes so good.
Is your wife a good cook?
(Thumbs up.)
She is such a great cook.
To whom are you suddenly using the honorific?
Your wife?
Kyung Kyu.
Who are you talking to?
The scenes will be switched.
Is this how you do TV shows these days?
Kyung Kyu who Ho Dong is desperately calling for...
(I think I'm hearing something.)
I'll be in a nearby cafe,
so call me when you succeed.
- Who is it? - Hello.
- My name is Kwang Hee. - Okay.
Hello, ma'am.
By any chance...
- Ask her if she knows you. - Do you know who I am?
Yes, I do.
- Great. - Nice.
We visited you today.
Say it's a special episode today.
Today, it's a special episode of Dining Together.
- A special episode? - Yes.
We don't go to any house,
- but only to homes that look happy. - I see.
So your house was selected.
Is my house selected for the special episode?
(You should react to her question.)
Congratulations.
- Ma'am. - Ask her if she had eaten.
Have you eaten?
Yes.
- Have you eaten? - Yes.
(Immensely disappointed)
Please don't lie.
(He's denying the reality in the end.)
I had dinner a moment ago.
- Really? - Yes.
(Greatly disappointed)
- See you later, ma'am. - Bye.
- Thank you. - Sure.
- I knew it. Kwang Hee. - Yes?
It's because Ho Dong caused a delay.
- We should've come earlier. - I know.
They already had dinner.
It's dinner time right now.
Right. People will start to have dinner now.
Now, let's go in even when they are already eating.
Oh, that looks cool. Let's try this one.
(They try the house with pretty wooden stairs this time.)
- Kwang Hee. - Yes?
If you say hello too loudly, they get flustered.
- Softly then? - Softly.
Just say it very casually.
- So... - In a low tone.
- In a natural and low tone. - Exactly.
Casually.
I think no one's home.
(He can't use Kyung Kyu's tip and has to retreat.)
- Let's go quickly. - Let's go.
No one's home.
(Barking)
Kyung Kyu, this one.
A dog is barking.
(Clacking)
Please come here.
Isn't this an intercom?
- It's not. Come here. - What?
No, don't.
Gosh... I feel so pressured.
- I think it's an intercom. - No, wait.
I think the houses are empty.
Really?
(Why won't it work?)
Let's go. This house feels right.
It looks nice.
(He barges right in.)
(Nervous)
(U-turn)
- You were in such a hurry... - Don't get me wrong.
that you went into a kindergarten.
There was a chalkboard out.
(He just told him not to rush...)
(a few minutes ago.)
- Don't rush. - There's a house over there.
- Don't rush. Calm down. - Over here.
This neighborhood is quite old,
so there are a lot of elderly people living here.
Am I right?
Oh no. I don't think anyone's home.
- What do we do? I'm starving. - Calm down.
You're the one who should calm down.
You were picking up the intercom...
and pressing every doorbell.
Calm down, calm down.
Look at the flowers!
There are two houses over here.
(Ring)
- Who is it? - Hello.
- Yes? - Hello, this is Kwang Hee.
- Sorry? - I'm Kwang Hee.
- Oh, I see. - Nice to meet you, ma'am.
What brings you here?
We're shooting the show, Dining Together,
and we're here for a special, ma'am.
The flowers looked so pretty here.
Did you have dinner?
No, my husband isn't home yet.
- Your husband? - Yes.
When will he be home?
Maybe in an hour?
One hour?
I'll call him and ask.
- Okay. - All right, thank you.
- We shouldn't pressure her. - Of course.
(Plop)
He's coming from Seongsu-dong.
(By the way...)
Are you hungry, Kyung Kyu?
I'm starving, but I'm staying mentally strong.
I wish we could order from this leaflet.
Cold noodles?
Go on and check on it.
(Did she finish her call?)
(Ring)
(Press)
- What happened? - I accidentally pressed it.
- What do I do? - Go on and ask her.
It'll seem like I'm pressuring her.
- What do I do? - It's all right.
- Hello? - I didn't mean to pressure you,
but I accidentally pressed the bell as I was adjusting the camera.
He says he's going to be late.
- That's too bad. - Thank you, ma'am.
- I'm sorry. - It's all right.
- Thank you so much. - I'm sorry.
All right, ma'am.
- We'll leave this here for you. - I wish you all the best!
(They keep failing.)
- I like that she was bright to us. - Yes.
- Should we try the second floor? - Okay.
(Let's hurry.)
It's almost past dinnertime, now.
Everyone must be eating right now.
(Smiling)
You've been chosen for our special!
I'm sorry, but we already ate.
Hello, I'm Kwang Hee.
I don't think we'll be able to shoot...
All right. Thank you, sir.
This side. That one.
(Worried)
Hello!
All right, goodbye.
(Sorry...)
He said, "Sorry."
(Lost for words)
(What do we do...)
- The lights were turned off. - We have to check.
You have to calm down.
- The packages are left out. - It doesn't matter.
(Help me! Mr. Calm!)
Why isn't anyone home?
(Nervous)
(Disheartened)
Let's go somewhere else.
Let's go.
I'm famished.
(The sun is already setting. What will happen to them?)
The sun is setting.
Keep calm. Don't panic.
- Don't panic? - Where should we go?
I have a good feeling about the second floor here.
- What? - Let's go upstairs.
I have a good feeling about this one.
(Will he nail it?)
- The bell is lively. - It's empty.
Hello!
(A baby is crying.)
There's a baby inside.
Hello, ma'am!
- Yes. - It's me, Kwang Hee.
- Yes. - Ma'am...
Did you have dinner?
No, but the kids are taking a bath.
You see?
Can we give you a hand?
What?
Never mind, we'll get going.
It's a bit messy in here. Is that all right?
- What? - We'll help you.
We'll help... Hello, ma'am.
- Gosh! - Hello.
Nice to meet you. Is it okay to shoot?
How old are your kids?
We'll help you bathe them.
- They're 7 and 3. - 7?
7 and 3.
- We can help you. - How about the father?
- He's still at work. - When is he coming?
- He gets off late. - Is that so?
Do you usually have dinner without him?
Then what if we help you out with the kids?
- Will that be all right? - May we shoot inside?
Can we?
- Discuss it with your kids. - Yes.
Don't do that to your brother!
(She tries to discuss it with the 3 and 7-year-olds...)
- She can't discuss it with them. - Of course not.
We can give you some time to think about it.
What were you going to have for dinner?
Just some meat...
Gosh!
- We can grill meat together. - I'm not good...
- What did you say? - You're not good?
- I'm not good at cooking. - I can help you out.
- Sure. - They call me Kyudon Ramsay.
Also, people always tell me...
to eat well and gain some weight.
(Roar!)
Excuse me, ma'am. Then why don't you call your husband...
- Ask him. - and tell him that we're here.
- Tell him that you'll do it... - Mommy!
Your son is calling for you.
- Gosh! - We should help her out.
- How embarrassing! - The kids...
- How embarrassing! - Talk to your kids about it.
(It seems like they are having a wild bath...)
- All right. - We'll give you five minutes,
- because time is almost up. - He's acting like a child.
- I see. - We're very hungry.
Anything will taste good to us.
(Let go!)
- Please... - Where is your dignity?
What dignity?
Kyung Kyu.
Keep your dignity.
- Call him, okay? - He's sweating.
- All right, I will. - Okay.
(He bursts into laughter at the unusual sight.)
- Kyung Kyu... - Why aren't you helping?
- You can't do that. - Listen,
this is all we have.
I agree.
This is our last chance. What is wrong with you?
- We need to be desperate. - Why are you so laid back?
- I'm sorry, sir. - This place...
is nice and they even have kids.
It'll look nice if you play with the kids.
- I'm good with kids. - Exactly.
(Screaming)
What's going on?
(Is it a kindergarten again?)
Are you coming, honey?
She's calling him.
It's "Dining Together", ma'am.
The show is called, "Dining Together".
(This is how passionate he is.)
I can?
She said, "I can"!
Her husband's a good man.
- She said, "I can". - Kyung Kyu...
you'll have to look after the kids.
- What? - The kids.
- It's been a long time. - I can do that.
It's been a few decades...
It'll take a while to get the food ready.
- It's all right. - He's so cute!
We'll help you bathe the kids.
How cute!
- Hello, buddy! - Hi!
- Hi! - How cute!
Let's take a look around the house before we meet the kids.
Walking past the beautiful wallpaper by the entrance,
comes the cozy living room in a white tone.
In this modern house at Daehwa-dong, which is full of style,
are the children that steal your attention.
(Who are you?)
(Hurrying)
We have to dry you up.
- Bang, bang! - Can you...
Ma'am?
- Could you hand me a towel? - I'll dry them.
- Hello! - I'll dry them off.
(Jung Yoon Jae, 3 years old, Jung Tae Hoon, 7 years old)
I'll dry you off.
Come over here. Give me the towel, please.
Give me the towel.
You have to dry your hair or you'll catch a cold.
How old are you?
Gosh... You're seven?
Stand up. Let's stand up.
- Put your underwear on. - Gosh, it's cold!
- Mommy! - Mommy's over there.
- Mommy! - Mommy, underwear, please!
- Mommy. - It must be so hard for you.
- It must be so hard for you. - It is.
Taking care of children is... Just look at that.
You're really going to regret doing that in front of the camera.
- Do we put lotion on him? - Yes.
- This... - I'll wash my hands.
Whose underwear is this? Here you go.
- Let's put this on. - Mommy...
Let's go in and put them on.
Yes, go in and put them on.
(You should always wash your hands before handling young kids.)
- It's a mess. - Come over here.
Put your pants on.
It's too cold. You'll get sick. I'll help you put them on.
Let's get some lotion on you. Come over here.
Come over here.
What's your name?
Your feet, first.
(Roar!)
Gosh, you scared me!
- What's your name, again? - Tae Hoon.
- Jae Hoon? - Jung Tae Hoon!
Tae Hoon?
Your name is Tae Hoon? Do you know who I am?
You haven't seen me yet?
(Kyung Kyu washes his hands, too!)
- It must be so hard for you. - Did the bath make you feel good?
Raising kids isn't easy.
He doesn't understand what's going on.
Yoon Jae, what's going on?
Oh, you don't have your diapers on.
Tae Hoon, say hello to the old man. Hello, old man!
Tae Hoon, why don't you show them your room?
- Is he a kindergartener? - Yes, he's seven.
(The swag of a seven-year-old.)
- Let's put your pants on. - Who are they?
Why are they all here?
Where is the father?
I don't think...
he'll be here anytime soon.
Where is his office?
His office is in Mok-dong, Seoul.
- Mok-dong? - Yes.
We used to live in Mok-dong,
- but we just moved here. - Is that so?
We moved here at the end of February.
You're amazing, to look after...
these kids like this.
(Don't mention it.)
- Pow wow! - Yes, come over here.
Bring back the ball!
Okay.
Panda?
I've been looking after kids every three months.
(I've been looking after kids every three months.)
Once in every three months.
Porori! Am I right?
I gave him a name.
What's his name?
- Tyranno. - His name is Tyranno?
What a nice name?
From "Winnie the Pooh"...
You'll catch a cold if you don't dry your hair.
Let's go, Tae Hoon. My name is Uncle Kwang Hee.
Let's go to your brother. Let's go to that old man.
Ask him to read you a book.
- Yes, come over here. - Let's go.
- Good boy. - Come over here.
Here. "To call".
Is that a gun you have?
- What is that? - When is your bedtime?
When is your bedtime?
- I study and sleep. - Study?
What time do you study?
Who sleeps first? Your little brother or you?
You sleep at the same time? Do you sleep in the same room?
What's your little brother's name?
He's naughty. Jung Yoon Jae the Troublemaker.
He is Yoon Jae.
Jung Yoon Jae the Troublemaker.
Is he a troublemaker?
What troubles does he cause?
Around the belly button...
Around the belly button?
He gets ticklish.
He feels ticklish? Does he get ticklish when you touch him?
- Yes, his belly button does. - Really?
Your brother plays with you well, doesn't he?
- "Yoon Jae"? - Yes. He's Yoon Jae.
He's Tae Hoon. Tae Hoon.
(It's a gorilla this time.)
- Tae Hoon. Tae Hoon. - They are so full of energy.
What is this?
(Breathing fire)
They play so well.
This old man will play with you.
I will go help your mom.
Hey. Hey.
Won't you come here? Hey.
I need to help her.
- Please look after the kids. - He's asking you to come.
He's asking you to come.
I will do the dishes. You should do something else.
(Kwang Hee helps her by doing the dishes.)
The old man is good at looking after the kids, isn't he?
- He is. - He's reached the age...
to have his own grandchild.
(I, Lee Kyung Kyu, have been on this show for 3 years.)
(Let me show you how to play with kids.)
(Old man helicopter)
(Be careful not to break your back.)
(He's passionately playing with Yoon Jae.)
(Shaking)
(Where is the first child, Tae Hoon?)
(Putting his arm into the sleeves)
(Transforming)
(He transformed into Spider-Man.)
- Monsters appeared. - Right.
But The Avengers beat them all.
The Avengers?
Thor, the king of thunder.
Thor.
I love Captain America.
Captain America?
I am Hulk.
(Hero 3: Hulk)
- Iron Man. - Iron Man? Is he Iron Man?
Light comes out from here.
Like this.
- Light power. - Bam.
Iron Man.
(Upon request, he can transform into any heroes.)
Who is this? Who is this?
(When you do this show for 3 years, this is how good you get with kids.)
This... This is funny.
I was once as small as him.
I was like him, then I was like him.
Then I became like this.
I remember it.
I used to make such a mess.
Kyung Kyu is playing well with the boys.
It's so nice.
It's so nice to have someone look after the kids.
What is this?
It said "kalopanax shoot" when I bought it.
I heard you have to feed kids these things when they are young...
- for them to enjoy it. - Then they will enjoy it.
We nearly failed to get dinner.
- We did it in January. - My goodness.
- Aren't you happy? - I am.
- Do you want to taste it? - Really?
Yes.
My husband might get jealous...
- if he sees this. - I wouldn't make him jealous.
Here.
(He tries it.)
- It's delicious. - Is it seasoned well?
It's so flavorful.
(They are making side dishes in a friendly atmosphere.)
(Save me, Kwang Hee.)
By the way, it's not my first time to meet you.
Really? Did you see me somewhere?
About 7, 8 years ago,
near Hapjeong station,
- I was a trainee there. - I ran a coffee shop.
It was the cafe around the corner...
- with a sky blue signboard. - On the first floor?
Yes.
I grew a lot, didn't I? I was a trainee then.
Yes. But even at the time...
We were all adults.
Where is your husband coming from?
He's coming from his office...
in Mokdong.
My husband and I both run a company,
so I go to the office in the morning.
- The kids stay at a playroom. - I come home first with them.
Yes. They stay at a daycare and a kindergarten.
I come home first.
What do you do?
We run an interior design firm.
We decorated the apartment...
- before moving in. - No wonder.
The tiles are beautiful.
That's why it was so nicely decorated.
It doesn't feel too much like home.
It's really unique.
Thanks to Kyung Kyu who volunteered to babysit,
she prepares the dinner in a relaxed manner.
(Slicing)
She slices up radish kimchi...
and divides them into two bowls, as if it's for two amicable brothers.
The two most popular summer kimchi,
young radish kimchi and crunchy cucumber kimchi are served.
She serves the simple yet flavorful potato stir-fry.
You don't have to give us too much food.
There are so many healthy dishes.
- Thank you. - I didn't make everything.
Where should I put this?
With a young mother's must-have appliance, air fryer,
she cooked pork belly in no time.
My goodness. You prepared so much food in no time.
Kyung Kyu. It's ready.
Dining Together in Daehwa-dong.
Spider-Man.
This meal consists of...
pork belly and vegetables which everyone is bound to like.
Mother's love is added to it too.
It's a delicious and nutritious...
dinner of a loving mother.
(It's a loving mother's nutritious and delicious dinner.)
Thank you.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
Enjoy.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
He usually eats just rice.
- What is that? - He doesn't eat side dishes.
I just let him eat however he likes.
And I give him baby food later.
(He turned off the power.)
- Is it always the three of you? - It's mostly just us.
She runs an interior design firm with her husband.
- So you're raising the kids... - Yes.
- while working? - She even takes care of the kids.
- My goodness. - You are incredible.
- It wouldn't be easy. - Eat a lot.
It's delicious.
I'm not sure if you'd like it.
Thank you so much.
You eat so well.
You eat spinach really well, don't you?
My goodness.
You are a good kid, aren't you?
When we are not here, how do you prepare dinner?
- Sometimes they watch cartoons. - You put on TV.
I sometimes do that.
(Tae Hoon eats a spoonful.)
You eat so well. Chew well.
The youngest knows how good food tastes after a shower.
In front of the bells and in the kitchen,
Kwang Hee did his best.
He enjoys the fruit of his hard work.
(He's tasting the joy his hard work brought him.)
Kyung Kyu, who worked hard to look after the kids...
gets rewarded for his work...
and recharges his energy with a delicious meal.
I will eat with relief.
Who made this kimchi?
My mom made it.
- No wonder you had so much food. - This one too.
- Right. - It was so delicious.
- Yes. - That's why I wondered.
You need to be really skilled...
to make kimchi that tastes this great.
- It's good, isn't it? - Right.
- It's really delicious. - My goodness.
It's really tangy.
We moved here originally...
because my parents were moving here.
My parents bought a house here.
So we were going to follow them.
But they haven't moved yet.
- They haven't moved yet. - The dates didn't work out.
- So we moved here first. - You moved first.
You have two sons.
It's tough, isn't it?
It's tough.
But you should've hesitated a little.
No, it's tough.
- Is it? - It is.
It's different when you have a daughter.
That's why adults always tell me...
that I should have...
- What's wrong with you? - another child.
Right? Why are they doing this?
Why are you doing this?
I never expected Kyung Kyu to babysit.
- What? - I didn't think you'd babysit.
As soon as I entered this house, where did I go?
- Here. - Of course.
You have to take charge of the kids.
That way their mom can prepare dinner.
- That was a different side of him. - It made things easy for me.
Ho Dong talking about different trees gets edited out.
But you looking after children will definitely be aired.
Put some music in the background.
It makes me... It makes me look like a nice person.
(With a bright smile, he gave a piggyback.)
(He played the airplane game with a cheerful voice.)
(Lee Kyung Kyu is a good man.)
Raising children is...
I am already not myself.
And...
By the way...
Don't the neighbors complain when they stomp around?
The downstairs unit is a workshop.
That's great.
So they don't complain.
The workshop closes soon.
So they can run around at night.
Yes. They said it was okay for them to run around.
They were very understanding.
They told me to leave them be.
(They are very considerate.)
Eat more of this.
You are very quiet, aren't you?
You don't talk while eating.
I listen to what other people say.
When I feel like I have something to say, I talk.
What is your charm?
I think I have an idea.
I think he would've been a great entertainer.
- Yes. - Me?
I do a lot of broadcastings at home.
Broadcastings?
What do you mean by that?
You nag a lot?
(He just laughs.)
When men get older,
they tend to nitpick more.
- Of course. People say that. - When he was younger,
he was too feisty, so it was tough.
But now that we are older, we just accept each other.
- Right. - We just put up with each other...
because we are old and we feel bad for each other.
We just respect each other.
In some ways I resent him, and in some ways I appreciate him.
Now that all our children have left,
- we rely on each other. - You rely on each other.
Ma'am.
I am 100 percent certain that she used to work.
- I never worked. - Right?
- As soon as I graduated... - I was wrong.
I got married as soon as I graduated.
I always say I was tricked into this marriage.
You got married right after you graduated.
It means you were strongly drawn to him.
It's not that.
He said he'd even bring the stars in the sky for me...
and I believed it, but it was not true.
Why do you pretend not to hear her, sir?
Well, look how many stars there are...
beside the lamp.
I brought all of them for her.
(Believe it or not, it's a lamp made with the stars the man brought.)
(It's hilarious.)
I bet they had a love marriage. I'm 100 percent sure.
- Are you 100 percent sure? - Yes.
He and my cousin worked for the same company.
My cousin was his subordinate.
- A blind date? - It was kind of a blind date.
Was it love at first sight?
I didn't like him at first.
Not at all.
- Why not? - Look at him.
I didn't like him at all.
Look at his face.
Why are you just staring at the vegetables?
How many years are you apart?
- Quite a lot. - You are...
Eight years apart.
Eight years.
- Oh, eight years? - As soon as you graduated,
- In the year when I graduated. - you had the blind date.
Then you might've thought he was too old.
He looked very old then.
- Then how... - I was blinded by love.
- You didn't even start working. - Well,
- you're mistaken. - What?
I'm eight years younger than her.
(What is he saying...)
What?
- I'm eight years younger than her. - What?
No, no.
- He is eight years older than me. - What?
Gosh, sir. I'm so confused.
I lied about the bag earlier,
- but he's even better than me. - Is that so?
I lied earlier that I received a bag.
I was shocked because I thought I made a mistake.
I met him in the year I graduated from college...
and got married in the fall of the year.
But my parents didn't approve...
- of our marriage. - Because of the age gap?
Because of a lot of things including the age gap.
Was eight years a big age gap back then?
Yes, it was.
- It was a big age gap back then. - It still is.
Did you fall in love with her at first sight...
and want to make her your lady no matter what?
- Right. - Were you determined to do that?
Back then, she was the type I liked.
- "Back then"? - Which type was she?
Was she slim and tall...
like a Caucasian?
Your eyes are so playful.
Back then, I weighed...
62 to 63kg.
- You were thin. - I was thin.
So I liked chubby people,
and that's why I liked her.
- I'm tall and have a chubby face. - She's tall.
- A curvy type? - I think...
- A curvy type? - Right.
He said she was really a curvy type.
Since you're a man, I guess you were...
- sitting in the coffee shop first. - Yes.
With your pounding heart,
did you feel anything different from the moment she came in?
When she approached you and sat down in front of you.
You can't get married without feeling that.
There has to be such a feeling.
Did your heart stop...
- as soon as you saw her? - When she came in.
At first sight.
- If my heart had stopped, - I can remember...
I wouldn't be here now.
- Chiffon was trendy back then. - I liked...
- Chiffon? - Chiffon.
It's difficult to look good in chiffon.
I was wearing an orange two-piece suit,
and he said I looked great.
You must have looked gorgeous.
- It was love at first sight. - So I...
What did you do next?
- After that... - He kept calling me...
- I called her. - at home.
Back then, I was not like this.
I was not bald and...
- You were slightly bald. - looked quite good.
She says that there were signs you were losing hair.
I told him about that,
and he said he lost some hair because he got typhoid.
(Embarrassed)
Did he say he was usually not like that?
- He said it was due to typhoid? - Typhoid.
It turned out that all his brothers are like that.
All his brothers.
So are all his cousins.
(Grunting)
Before she saw his brothers,
- She got attached to him. - he tried to get close...
saying it was because of typhoid.
- He made me feel sympathy for him. - It was the sympathy.
But when you get typhoid in the past,
you became bald.
Did you really lose your hair because of typhoid?
- No, not really. - You didn't, right?
(I should not laugh.)
It must have been the first lie you told her back then, right?
He told me a lot of lies.
He did tell me so many lies.
What other lies were there?
Countless lies. I can't even remember all of them.
(Grunting)
Everything was a lie.
"Everything was a lie."
Everything he said was a lie.
I even said it was a marriage fraud.
(Grunting)
I guess his charms...
offset such lies.
I think I was a poor judge of men.
Your wife is your first love, right?
- Right. - I bet I was not.
- She is. - I guess I'm not.
Because I grew up in the countryside,
- Athletes don't tell lies. - I just focused on my school life.
You have never seen a love letter he wrote for another woman...
or a photo of his ex-girlfriend, right?
A love letter? Oh, I read his diary...
after I got married and realized that he had a tough time.
I felt so bad for him that I cried...
while he was at work.
His mother...
I couldn't see her because...
she passed away when he was in college.
I read that he had such a hard time while farming too.
- So... - In the diary?
- Yes. - It touched your heart, right?
- Yes, indeed. - It stimulated your maternal love.
That was not a lie.
You let her read it,
- It was a true story. - and it worked.
Gosh, I'm relieved. When I heard her tone,
I thought she might say, "I cried while reading it,"
"but it also turned out to be a lie."
I was so anxious that she might say that.
I'm relieved now.
You wanted to be nicer to him?
Right.
But back then,
- everyone in Korea suffered. - That's right.
Since you fell in love with her at first sight,
I guess you'd choose to marry her again without hesitation...
if you are to be born again in the next life.
(Taking a deep breath)
- You should answer quickly. - He'd want to marry another woman.
You have to answer quickly.
Well... I will.
I'll tell you more about it when I meet you in private later.
(I can't believe him.)
"In private".
When I meet you in private.
What about you, ma'am?
I would live with another man.
I think any woman would.
- Sir, your facial expression... - I really think so.
says she didn't have to be brutally honest.
- He may feel hurt, ma'am. - I already knew that.
Ask him the question again since he heard her answer now.
I'd still marry her.
- You'd marry her, right? - Yes, if I were born again.
She's your one and only love.
Well, rather than that,
as I said earlier, when a man grows old,
his family...
and wife...
means love and hatred to him.
- Love and hatred? - Love.
- It's love without hatred, right? - Love...
and hatred as well.
- Right. Because you love her... - Not having hatred...
means that you don't love her.
There's no love without hate?
That's right.
I think she likes it in her heart.
No, I don't like it that much.
(She smiles broadly.)
Not every day during the 40 years they have been together...
was rainbows and butterflies.
But they had trust and love,
which is why they can talk about life and laugh together today.
(The couple learn to live in happiness with time)
You first met at work, right?
Yes, at work.
Did your husband ask you out first?
- He did? - Yes.
She looks very happy.
Because you are beautiful, I bet...
- he liked you a lot. - Thank you.
How long did you date?
We dated for about two years.
- 2 years? - It took about 2 years...
- until we got married. - Is that so?
What made you make up your mind...
to marry him?
When he was working at the company,
many Korean interior design companies...
expanded their business...
- Overseas. - in Vietnam,
Africa, and so on.
He went to work overseas too.
To which country?
- Angola. - Angola?
- Isn't it in Africa? - Right.
He went there and we were apart from each other for about two months.
I was having a hard time too,
and he thought he'd never be able to...
get married if he didn't come back to Korea, so...
- That's what he felt? - Yes.
So he came back after a few months...
after quitting the job.
- To get married? - Yes.
(That's cool.)
That's how we got married.
Who was the one to fall in love first?
It was...him.
How nice.
Don't lie. I think you liked him first.
- No. He did... - He did?
(They realized how much they meant to each other while apart,)
(so they decided to stay together for the rest of their lives.)
By the way,
I don't know how this would sound,
but I've been doing this show for about two years,
so the moment I see the residents' eyes,
I can almost tell if they'll let us in or not.
How can you tell?
They have such kind eyes.
The moment I saw her, I knew we'd surely succeed.
(He met another angel's eyes today.)
- I can really tell. - Really?
(No way.)
You're saying that only because you're done having dinner.
Earlier, he wasn't himself. He couldn't have noticed.
- It was too hectic. - No, it wasn't.
"Have you eaten? I see."
"Thank you. Let's leave quickly."
(Embarrassed)
You weren't yourself earlier.
He was drenched in sweat.
He told me to calm down, but he was sweating more than me.
Did you say you lived in Hapjeong-dong?
- No... - That's a change of topic.
- No? - A long time ago,
I worked in a coffee shop in an alley in Hapjeong-dong...
to help my younger sister.
The cafe was next to the house I lived in...
- Right. - when I was a singer.
- We are all connected like that. - I know.
You saw me washing the dishes earlier.
Didn't I do a good job?
- I'd make a good husband, right? - Yes...
I wash the dishes clean and I'm good at taking care of children.
- Really? - She told me that...
on camera.
Many people around me get married, so I also want to get married now.
But...
yesterday, my husband...
showed me a sentence in a book,
which said that there is always...
a seven-year-old child in a man's heart,
and that child pops up occasionally.
And if you get married...
- You think that child will pop out? - Very often.
No, sir...
Oh, I mean, ma'am. I'm maturer than you think I am.
- You saw me wash the dishes... - No.
- as soon as I came in. - We can see that.
I can see that.
Why would you say that at the last moment?
Why are you taking away my chances of getting married?
Why would you do that? We are neighbors.
We said all the good things.
- She meant well. - You think so?
She was just saying...
- you have your childlike innocence. - I see.
- She meant you're innocent. - That was it?
Thank you.
I'm innocent.
I should have read between the lines.
My gosh.
I didn't know that.
When are the most difficult times?
(When are the most difficult times of raising her kids?)
- The most difficult times? - Yes.
The most difficult times? That's... Well...
Actually, there are a lot.
I don't even know where to start from.
(The kids who give her a hard time are playing with the show writer.)
- Well... - She's very honest.
Because this is her first time.
It's not like the kids are giving me a hard time.
It's just hard to take care of them when I'm struggling...
- with something else. - I see.
- I understand. - That's why...
- I'm stressed out. - There's a lot to multi-task.
Even when I have a hard time...
at work or other places, I have to come home...
and take care of my children.
I guess it's twice as hard.
But at the same time, you must...
feel proud and it must be fulfilling being a mom, right?
Sure.
- Right? - Yes.
Before my kids go to sleep,
we sleep on the bed together.
"Mom, I can't live without you."
They say things like that.
(Mom, I can't live without you.)
"Mom, I'll try to be more obedient."
When they say something like that...
- Does your son actually say that? - Yes.
Her first son says that.
"I'll try harder." He says things like that.
It makes me feel happy and proud.
Then I realize that my kids have grown a lot,
- and that they are growing well. - I know. He's so sweet.
Right. He says sweet things.
That's very touching.
He seems so playful, but he says things like that.
I noticed that she has a lot of books...
in the room.
- Right. I saw that. - It's packed with books.
(This is the kids' study.)
He and I had some earnest conversation for about five minutes.
- With her first son? - About superheroes.
I've never had a conversation with you for five minutes.
It's difficult for me...
to talk to him.
I'm not good at grasping the subject. He's amazing.
He talked to Kyung Kyu for five minutes.
(Kwang Hee thinks the kids are amazing.)
Can we talk to your husband on the phone and say hello?
Don't the kids get tired at this hour?
- No. - Not yet?
Of course not.
They keep talking even after I end the day and turn off the lights.
Sure.
- Where are you? - They're so energetic.
I'll put you on speaker.
Hello?
- Hello. - Hi, this is Lee Kyung Kyu.
- Oh, hello. - Nice to meet you.
She invited us in with a warm heart.
Do you usually get off work after nine?
I usually go home around midnight.
Isn't it that you're coming home late on purpose?
No.
Can you please...
say three compliments...
to your wife?
(It's Complimenting Time.)
It's so sudden that I don't know what to say.
You should do it even if you feel shy.
I'm thankful that she lives with me.
(I'm thankful that she lives with me.)
That's the best.
It's the best compliment.
Do you have any complaints?
No.
- He says no. - Okay.
We enjoyed our dinner...
and a lot of fun with your kids.
Make sure to watch our show.
Say bye to him.
Dad!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Bye.
Tae Hoon.
- Come here. - Compliment your mom.
What's good about your mom?
Why do you like her?
Her face.
- He's a smooth talker. - I know.
Do you think she's pretty? Do you like her face?
I see.
(Tae Hoon gave the best answer.)
He knows how to say touching things.
Thank you.
Why do you like your mom?
Do you like your mom or dad?
(Mom!)
The two sons touch her heart.
(The mom is happy.)
- Give me a kiss. - Give us a kiss.
He's so cute.
(I love you, Mom.)
This is the last thing to do.
You should compliment each other.
Would you go first, sir?
Okay. I'll go first.
Call her as you usually do.
- Hey. - Hey?
(Hey?)
- Call her honey. - Honey.
Hey?
We met at a difficult time, but you ran our household so well.
You made me gain a lot of weight.
I've always been very grateful,
but I didn't express it as much.
I feel sorry about that.
Thank you, anyway.
That's his compliment.
(He thanked her for their history of 40 years.)
He's thankful that she made him gain weight.
It's your turn to compliment him now.
(The wife compliments the husband.)
He was always busy when he was young.
But now that it's just the two of us living together,
he helps me with housekeeping a lot, so I'm grateful.
- That's nice. - And I'm thankful...
that he takes good care of his health.
You're thankful because he takes good care of his health.
And I want to thank him for listening to my opinions...
when it came to raising our children.
I'm grateful for many things.
I feel like I met a senior entertainer here today.
He guided me well.
I'm serious.
Then you should have him in your show.
Thank you, sir.
It's been a really long time.
- This is amazing. - I know.
So, should I reveal the truth about the bag or not?
(She never stops teasing him.)
What bag?
You're a great actress. You're good at making things up.
I didn't make that up.
(They are having fun with a made-up story.)
Just tell me if it's true.
- About the bag? - Yes.
- It's a lie. - Really?
- Sure. - People would get the wrong idea.
It's just a rumor.
- Really? - They were joking.
My gosh.
Kwang Hee, you're...
really good at doing TV shows.
Really?
You give people energy.
- Thank you. - You're so cheerful.
(Have some ice cream.)
Are there any spoons over there?
Oh, thank you.
My gosh. Thank you.
- He's so sweet. - Tae Hoon, thank you.
(He even takes care of the crew.)
- Tae Hoon's family. - Shoot a gun.
Bang!
- Bang! - Tae Hoon's house.
Bang!
1, 2, and 3.
Healthy house.
Healthy house?
(She can't believe her ears.)
(Stay healthy, anyway!)
In Daehwa-dong, Goyang,
they met the 223rd and 224th families...
for Dining Together.
- Mom. - Thank you...
- Mom. - for making us good memories.
Please visit us again.
Go, Dining Together!
(Hongje-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul)
(Today's dinner mate is Kim So Yeon, the prettiest girl in the world.)
It's open.
(Let me tell you about her.)
(She's very considerate of others.)
(She always comes last.)
Hello.
(An angel has come to brighten up Hongje-dong.)
(Hello.)
(What's your religion?)
(I don't have a religion.)
(Kyung Kyu and Ho Dong are blessed by her.)
(Smiling)
(Did you have dinner?)
Yes.
(But she betrays their trust.)
(And there's another dinner mate.)
(Hong Jong Hyun, the most handsome guy in the world)
(There are houses with good energy.)
(He points at a house as if he's possessed by something.)
(Silent)
(Embarrassed)
(They don't hear anything from the second house again.)
(Are they going to fail just like that?)
(Is there some jinx?)
(He even exorcises the jinx.)
(Will their exorcism work?)
