(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.)
No matter where you go,
you see spectacular views along the riverside.
Where is this place...
where the couple is enjoying the cool breeze?
Gyeong Gyu.
- We're in Namyangju. - Right.
Is this Paldang Dam?
This is the very last dam among all the dams...
starting from the Gangwon Province.
- This dam is? - Yes.
Is that Paldang Bridge?
Yes, it is.
Many couples come here.
You're right.
The Paldang cafe street...
that boasts a mesmerizing river view...
has become a place...
where people come to rest or go on dates.
Are they our guests?
- No. - They're just taking a photo.
- Hello. - Hello.
- It's that program. - Are you on a date?
- Let's Eat Dinner Together. - You're right.
- You two look great. - Thank you.
They even took photos together.
Gyeong Gyu.
Gyeong Gyu, I get it.
Don't call for me. It's too hot.
My goodness.
It feels over 40°C.
I think today's the hottest so far.
It's so hot today.
It's scorching.
(There's even a heat haze.)
It's too hot.
- Goodness. - Many people are cycling.
There's a bike lane.
That couple looks great together.
(They look happy.)
- Hello. - Hello.
Enjoy your date.
- They look good together. - I know.
They even have cameras on their bicycles.
(Laughing)
They're not stopping us.
Wait, they're our guests?
- I thought they were passersby. - What?
I thought they were just passing.
(Even Gyeong Gyu was duped.)
(They make a U-turn.)
I thought they were a married couple.
We're filming right now.
- Sorry for the interruption. - That's okay.
You can pass us by.
Aren't you Kang Ho Dong and Lee Gyeong Gyu?
- Hello. - I love Let's Eat Dinner Together.
- Really? - Yes.
- I'm a big fan of yours. - Hello.
Good luck with the filming.
I can't believe you're cycling in this scorching heat.
I thought you two were really married.
(These talented actor and actress fooled him.)
During her heyday, her body moved whenever there was music.
She was a dancing queen who excited many men.
(As a dancing queen, she swept the variety show scene.)
(The 20-year-old dancing queen Hye Bin's fantastic dance)
Now as an actress with strong emotion,
she moves the viewers' hearts.
She's the acting queen, actress Jeon Hye Bin.
In the drama "Misaeng",
he acted as a realistic character Section Chief Cheon.
Then he acted as a drug gang member...
who doesn't have any humanity left in him.
("Believer")
He also acted as a Buddhist monk who left the secular world...
and an evil criminal.
He's the talented actor with good looks...
who moves between good and bad. He is Park Hae Joon.
(Park Hae Joon)
("Arthdal Chronicles")
The two handsome actors came to learn about Let's Eat Dinner Together.
Do you know who she is?
- Of course I know. - You do?
Do you really know me?
Of course. How can I not know Hye Bin?
- He knows me. - She went to Dongguk University.
- Did she? - Of course.
- Hello. - Mr. Park.
- It's nice to meet you, Hae Joon. - It's nice to meet you.
I heard a lot about you.
What did you hear about me?
After Jang Dong Gun, you are the most handsome from...
Korea National University of Arts.
- My goodness. - Was there such a rumor?
- "Believe"? - Yes. "Believer".
He was a drug dealer there.
- Did you watch it? - Of course, I did.
I am a big fan of Gyeong Gyu.
I watched "A Bloody Battle for Revenge".
- Don't do that. - I watched at a cinema.
Don't do it.
Since we've come all the way to Paldang Dam,
we should put the river in the background.
- Right. - Gyeong Gyu.
It's a lovely background.
If this was a set, it would cost so much.
- Right. - Think about building this.
Hye Bin, Hae Joon,
do you have any connection to Namyangju?
I am the daughter of Namyangju.
I was born and raised in Deokso.
- Wabu-eup, Namyangju. - Deokso.
Deokso, Wabu-eup.
Where Deokso-Sampae IC is now...
is where I was born.
All the trees there are my grandfather's trees.
(They are her grandfather's trees.)
To pass through Namyangju,
you couldn't do it without stepping onto Hye Bin's land.
- That's... - Of course.
- Just there. - Just there.
How about you?
- Yes? - How about you, Hae Joon?
What is your relation to Namyangju?
I...
- came to Namyangju... - Often?
- I came here often for a shoot. - You came here often.
I came here often. Yes.
(Laughing)
You never appear on variety shows.
- It's actually my first time. - It's your first time.
His eyes say...
that he's nervous.
- It's such a hot day. - Yes.
He's so nervous that he forgot about the heat.
- There's no need to worry. - Your words...
- contain your love for him. - Why?
You are a film producer yourself.
Yes. I love all actors.
- You do? - I am originally from Busan.
I am from Busan.
- You are from Choryang-dong. - Yes.
I am from Sujeong-dong.
Have a good day.
(They shake hands.)
Why did the bike have to pass at such an important time?
When my father yells,
he's very similar to you.
He does this too.
Okay. Okay.
From time to time, I will remind you of your father.
Did you shoot a film together?
- Yes. - About your film...
We have a rule, so you can't promote it now.
I am aware of it.
From time to time,
- if you behave well, - Yes.
we will let you promote it about once or twice.
(They might be given one or two chances.)
Let's do a good job.
- Anyway, cheer up. - Yes.
You are Mr. Lee.
- Right? - That's the title, isn't it?
(She's busted.)
Please read it, Hye Bin.
- 24-hour-spinner - 24-hour-spinner?
You should read it while spinning like this.
I can't spin anymore.
- You can't spin? - It's over now.
- You can't? - The business closed down.
(She suddenly changes.)
(Spinning and dancing)
(The neighbor is excited.)
(Ho Dong has lost it.)
(She dances with Ho Dong.)
(24-hour-spinner and Spinning-pig)
(Hye Bin is the cute 20-year-old dancing queen.)
- She's the best dancer. - I know.
I will do a new version then.
I will do a dance that matches this place.
Today's mission.
Have dinner...
in Hopyeong-dong,
- Namyangju. - Let's do it!
Today's town.
(They start the day with much excitement.)
Hopyeong-dong, Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province.
Gyeongui-Jungang Line and Gyeongchun Line pass through it.
The recently extended GTX Line B...
is going to improve the accessibility to Seoul.
Among the three new towns, Wangsuk District is the biggest,
and it's soon to be developed.
Hopyeong-dong, which was recently developed...
has apartments, townhouses, and detached houses.
It's praised for having a variety...
of housing types.
Let's Eat Dinner Together, episode 141,
"Perfect Match".
(Episode 141: "Perfect Match")
We call these houses "duplex houses".
We call those "duplex houses".
Two houses share a yard.
They sometimes share the rooftop too.
Those are really pretty duplex houses.
We introduced duplex houses a lot in the past, didn't we?
- On this show. - We were the first.
(Let's Eat Dinner Together was one of the first to introduce them.)
- We are the first. - Is that right?
(Let's Eat Dinner Together specializes in touring duplex house complexes.)
- Look at that hanging. - That's...
What is that?
- What is that? - Plum?
- Plum? - Peach?
- It's peach. - Isn't it pomegranate?
It's wild peach.
(Each house has a vegetable garden and a yard...)
Isn't it, Gyeong Gyu?
(shared by two households.)
(It's so green.)
It's really nice.
- It's... - The town is bright.
- It's nice. - It's the power of Mount Cheonma.
There's cool breeze.
(It's a quiet and still residential area at the foot of Mount Cheonma.)
There are three famous righteous outlaws from Mount Cheonma.
- Thieves. - Yes. Thieves.
This is where Im Kkeokjeong was based.
From here, he went to Hwanghae Province.
- No matter how hot it is... - What does "Hopyeong" mean?
- What? - "Hopyeong".
It must mean it's got a good reputation.
"Good reputation"?
(It's a combination of Homan-ri and Pyeongdong-ri.)
It's hot, so please don't ask me so many questions.
Is Namyangju part of Yangju?
It is.
That's an excellent question.
Yangju is... You are good.
- You have to ask what I know. - Right.
You made me very happy.
You have to ask me what I know.
It's Namyangju because it's Yangju in the South.
- It's still Yangju. - Yes.
By the way, it's really true.
- What is? - Korea National University of Arts.
Jang Dong Gun was undoubtedly the most handsome man.
Right.
When he enrolled in the school, he took over that position.
- No. No. - Was Dong Gun...
- in the upper class? - Yes, he was.
He was among the first batch of students.
When you meet him in person, you wouldn't say that.
(He's very humble.)
- Lee Sun Kyun... - Sun Kyun.
He's the one who said it. He said you are...
the handsomest actor.
- In terms of appearance. - He told me that.
He's so humble.
- He's a humble, handsome man. - Thank you, Sun Kyun.
- He looks like a good man. - Yes.
(I saved you in my heart.)
He looks like a good man. Doesn't he?
He's a very good man.
Do you live in an apartment? Where do you live?
- I live in an apartment. - Do you?
So when I come to an area like this...
- I have kids, you see. - It's lovely.
Whenever I see a place with space to run around, I want to move.
- Really? - How old are your children?
My eldest is 7, and my second son is 3.
- Are they sons? - They are so handsome.
They are sons.
Hae Joon is preparing to buy his own house.
- You visit so many places. - Yes.
- And you know about real estate. - I know everything.
You should make recommendations.
I need to take 10 percent commission fee.
10 percent.
It's not that I am asking for a big sum of money.
Just buy me drinks twice.
That will do.
Then I will tell you which towns near Seoul are nice...
and which new towns are nice.
I will tell you right away. You should be on the first floor.
- The first floor is great. - Right.
We've been going around towns for three years.
I didn't know about Hye Bin's hometown.
Was Deokso like a country too?
- Deokso... - When I lived there...
When I went home from Seoul, I could see the galaxy.
I am not lying.
Although it was right next to Seoul, it had really clean air.
I picked all the wild fruits.
We caught and ate snakes.
- You caught and ate snakes? - I caught and ate snakes.
- I caught and ate grasshoppers too. - You ate them?
Grasshoppers are okay. But snakes?
Yes. I used to eat them well. Frogs too.
- Snakes are pretty much like eels. - You caught them?
- You caught them? - Yes.
Snakes are different.
- They are the same as eels. - They came into our house.
(I don't believe it.)
Perhaps he lived in Seoul for too long.
- She's right. - It came into the house.
The snakes came into your room?
In the past, big snakes used to live under eaves.
- Snakes this big. - Yes.
Don't you know the story about the swallow with a broken leg?
What's...
That's "Heungbu Nolbu".
- Is it "Heungbu Nolbu"? - Are you 100 years old?
(Is he 100 years old?)
- No. - Snakes came into my house.
They used to come in. Frogs jumped around too.
Whenever a snake came into our house, we made wine.
We grilled it too.
- Really? - Really.
They get out of the duplex house complex...
and go to the downtown of Hopyeong-dong...
where there are a lot of apartments.
This is the downtown of Hopyeong-dong.
This is.
It's such a nice and clean city.
- It's clean even if it's downtown. - Yes.
Did you not come this far to hang out when you were little?
Not here. Namyangju is very big.
- It's big. - I used to live in Wabu-eup.
(Hopyeong-dong)
Isn't it "Three Meals a Day"?
It's not "Three Meals a Day".
- It's Let's Eat Dinner Together. - Let's Eat Dinner Together team...
should work harder. We're losing...
- to "Three Meals a Day". - Why?
Because they have 3 meals, but we have only 1 meal on the show.
- You're right. - 1 out of 3 meals...
- We're losing to them. - I know.
Who eats all three meals these days?
- Only 1 meal is enough. - 1 meal a day is trendy.
Exactly. You should eat only one meal a day.
(Gyeong Gyu claims one meal a day is enough.)
Shall we go into...
- Sure. - the real estate office?
- Can we just enter any office? - Yes.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi. - What a nice office it is.
- It's a very nice place. - It is.
- Hello. - Hi.
Where are we now, sir?
- Do you want to know where we are? - Yes.
This area around Pyeongnae Hopyeong Station is the central area.
And we are currently in the area nine.
- By the way, isn't he amazing? - Yes.
As soon as we entered, he took his place...
and explained it so naturally.
While watching Let's Eat Dinner Together,
I've always dreamed of a moment like this.
(Dreams come true.)
- Today... - He dreamed of this situation...
where he briefs in front of celebrities.
(He is excited.)
We've never seen anyone say that before...
although we've met a few people...
who thought what they'd do if we visited their houses.
I live in an apartment, so it was not likely you'd come to my house.
But the location of this town is great, so I thought...
- you'd come someday. - He even thought about that.
You came much sooner than I thought.
(You came much sooner than I expected.)
So as if we made an appointment, as soon as we came in,
- I know. - he came up to the map and...
Didn't you make an appointment?
- No, not at all. - Really?
I finished writing a contract just now.
Oh, the one in front of you?
I couldn't even put the contract away.
My goodness.
Even before the ink dried.
What are the merits of Namyangju?
There are a lot of merits in Namyangju.
(Stammering)
There is the water of the Bukhan River and a mountain...
- called Mount Cheonma. - Both a river and a mountain.
The scenery along the river that's connected to Seoul is great.
(A place near Seoul with great nature)
So it's a very nice place to live in.
The population is steadily increasing.
And the philosophy of Jeong Yak Yong...
is handed down here.
Especially, in Hopyeong Pyeongnae area,
the temperature is about 2℃ lower than in Seoul.
- It's certainly lower. - Right.
So I'm sure you felt very pleasant here today.
You make people want to move here.
We thought it was strange earlier.
It was very hot earlier.
According to the forecast, the temperature was high,
but it was less hot than we thought.
Hae Joon, this is it.
This is where you should live.
(Gyeong Gyu recommends this town.)
- And it's close to Seoul. - Right.
Move to Hopyeong Pyeongnae.
- Is there a place on the 1st floor? - Any apartment on the 1st floor?
- He has two sons. - They run around in the house.
Yes, there is.
The first floor.
I heard that 1 of the 3rd batch of new towns will be built...
in Namyangju.
- You're right. - Right?
It's called Wangsuk District, 1 of the 3rd batch of new towns.
("Will Wangsuk District Become the 2nd Pangyo?")
Then the population will increase a lot.
Because the population here keeps increasing,
transportation infrastructure is being developed.
GTX Line B will go through...
Namyangju,
and it will go all the way to Songdo in Incheon.
So it's a good place to live in.
Many young people with their children live here.
- Right. - And on the other hand,
because it's a pleasant place as I said earlier,
there are also many people who moved here from Seoul...
after they retired.
There are two different groups of people.
- This is the place. - Okay.
- Hurry up. - You can expect more.
He needs a little more persuasion.
- A big place... - I'll get you a nice house.
Let me take your business card.
- Which one should I take? - Well...
Are there many kinds?
He gives it to him himself.
(He gets the business card.)
My name is Park Hae Joon. I'm in your care.
- Hurry up. - Call him.
He has a customer now. We'll get going.
- Thank you. - Can we shake hands?
Oh, sure.
Because this is what I have dreamed of.
He is so witty when he talks.
Thank you. Bye.
I thought you made an appointment beforehand.
That was amazing.
(They enter an alley now.)
Wow, what is that?
(A small water park in the middle of a city)
- Kids will love this place. - They will.
- What is it? - This is almost...
- Is it a water park? - Is it open to the public?
Is the admission free?
I think so.
Kids in this neighborhood must have fun here.
Exactly.
(It's free, and there are over 20 of them in Namyangju.)
You must feel cool, right?
(Is this real? It's Kang Ho Dong!)
This is so nice. Kids will love it.
You have to cover the logo if you want to be on TV.
- These days... - Cover the logo.
Cover it like this.
- All right. - Bye.
Gyeong Gyu, how should we be divided?
You can be Team Perfect Match together.
- Team Perfect Match? - Yes.
Sujeong-dong and Choryang-dong...
- are right next to each other. - They are?
They're in Dong-gu.
All right, then.
Here is a drama without scripts in Hopyeong-dong,
Namyangju.
- Let's Eat Dinner Together. - Let's Eat Dinner Together.
Please spin around.
(Spinning around)
(I'll dance too.)
You got much slower.
I feel dizzy now.
Today's town is surrounded by the ridges of Mount Cheonma.
The time has come for them to dream of having a meal...
in this town right under the clear sky like a fairy tale.
(They start ringing doorbells at 6pm.)
The clouds look mysterious today. They look like a tornado.
That looks cool.
- It is hot, - Yes.
but the atmosphere is that of fall.
Right. Already.
Because it's technically fall now.
It's been a while since the initial day of autumn passed.
- Did it pass? - Yes.
Then why is it still so hot?
That's why it's hot.
I guess global warming is serious.
By the way, all the houses here are so nice.
That is the last one of the country houses here.
- Yes, the one on the top. - The one on the top.
(They start with the house on the top.)
- Wait. There seems to be no one. - But the doorbell...
- There is no doorbell. - Then shall we call for someone?
What should we do?
There is no doorbell, and the door is locked.
I think they went on vacation.
They went on vacation, right?
They did.
- Right. - Someone may be out over there.
There is no one outside the house.
No one?
The house...
Is this a vacation home?
It faces this side.
- Yes. - There is a deck here.
They made a garden here.
- There is a vegetable garden. - I know.
But I think they're on vacation.
- Yes, all the lights are off. - Right.
They're well organized.
I can feel an autumn breeze.
- It's cool. - Gyeong Gyu.
- It's so cool. - The mountain breeze.
It's cool because we're in the mountain.
(He just wants to go quickly.)
Well, it means you already tried the first house, right?
No, we didn't. There was no one.
- We didn't even ring the bell. - We couldn't ring it.
- We didn't do anything. - But you went there to try it.
That's not true. Then if you pass by the door, does that count?
(I should change the topic.)
- What about this house? - It looks nice.
This house is so pretty.
There are just a few houses here, so we should be careful not to fail.
- I can hear dogs barking. - It has started.
(It's a nice house.)
Ma'am.
This is so pretty.
(In the end, Team Perfect Match gives their first try.)
- Can I try it? - Yes.
(Barking)
- Tell them... - Who is it?
Hello. My name is...
Jeon Hye Bin.
If you haven't eaten yet,
I wonder if we could have dinner together.
(Oh...)
You can have dinner, but we're on vacation now,
so there are too many family members and dogs in the house.
- It's okay. - Right.
- Look at the dogs. - I was born in the Year of the Dog.
- Sorry? - Do you know who the guest is?
- Yes. - Do you know who I am?
- Let's Eat Dinner Together. - It's Let's Eat Dinner Together.
No, I mean, do you know who I am?
(Ta-da)
You don't?
Our guest Jun Hye Bin and I met on "Match Made in Heaven"...
in the past.
Why does he talk about that?
I could say that you and I...
- are destined too. - Yes.
Why don't you make a good memory with your children?
- Ma'am. - Yes?
If we have dinner together...
(Team Perfect Match doesn't give up.)
(Let me just look at the dogs.)
Will you invite Hye Bin and me in and become our family?
Yes!
(Yes!)
(Did they really succeed?)
On the first attempt.
- Thank you so much. - My goodness.
- Thank you. - But did the kids just say yes?
- In that case... - In fact, they did.
We have guests now,
- Okay. - so...
What should I do? My guests feel uncomfortable.
(It's hard to eat with them now.)
Is that right?
You're okay, but your guests are not?
Yes. I'm sorry.
- That was close. - What should we do?
- We got overjoyed too much. - We did.
- It's okay. - It's all right.
I hope we'll have a chance next time.
- No... - Hey!
- "Hey!" - The kids really want to do this.
- Don't feel too much pressure. - I'm sorry.
- It's okay. - Thank you, ma'am.
- We were too happy just now. - Well...
(They feel embarrassed so much.)
- We almost succeeded. - I thought you succeeded.
(Staggering)
- A little... - I was too glad just now.
- I'm sorry. - Don't be.
Because I have too many guests...
I see. Too many guests.
(They felt so sorry that they got out.)
The puppy is so pretty.
- Thank you. - In my house...
- Hello. - The puppy is so cute.
Which breed are those in the yard?
- The Shiba Inu. - The Shiba Inu.
The Shiba Inu, right?
All right.
- Cheers to you. Good luck. - Thanks.
(Thanks for greeting nicely though.)
Hello, ma'am.
Hello.
Hello. My name is Lee Gyeong Gyu.
- My goodness. - Hi.
This is Park Hae Joon, an actor.
- He's a movie actor. - Is that right?
- Isn't he handsome? - Yes, he's so handsome.
Well, we... You know what this means, right?
- A spoon? - Yes, we have dinner...
- Is that right? - together after ringing doorbells.
Gosh, I have a plan this evening.
Where are you going?
- To compete in a dance competition, - Dance?
I'm going to practice in my dance club.
- A dance club? - Yes.
(She's in a dance club!)
- I'm running late. - Oh, you are?
Goodbye. Who are they?
- My grandson and granddaughter. - Her grandson and granddaughter.
Are you... Are you taking them to dance too?
No.
- I see. They'll stay home. - I don't dance.
- Really? How old are you? - Because I'm a boy.
How old are you?
- I'm 9. - You're 9 years old.
- And you're seven? - No.
- Then what? Are you 6? - She's 6 years old.
Good luck.
- Sure, goodbye. - Goodbye.
(I'm a man.)
(That was so close.)
- Look over there. - Over there.
There's a huge mansion...
- over there. - Let's go.
Let's go, Hye Bin.
Ho Dong, we almost made it, but the lady had to go dance.
- Goodness. - Oh, no.
- She's leaving to dance. - I see.
(Disappointed)
- It was close. - It's almost dinnertime.
- She must be on a date. - She's in a dance club.
The front gates are...
My gosh, look.
This is a single house?
I don't think so. I think these two are different.
- Someone is out here. Ho Dong. - Wait.
- She's out here. - She's out here.
- Talk to her. - Hello, ma'am.
Hello.
Ma'am, we're...
She's on a phone call.
She should finish up. We can take our time.
(Ma'am, it's me, Ho Dong.)
- Hello, ma'am. - Okay?
- One second. - Ma'am, you can take your time.
- Yes. - Ma'am.
This is... Do you know the title of our show?
Ma'am!
If you haven't had dinner...
You know, I thought...
you had the most beautiful yard around here.
- You can come next time. - What?
I don't have anything. My family isn't here either.
- Just you and us. - It can be you, me, and Hye Bin.
I don't have any food.
You don't?
This is Hye Bin from "What's Wrong, Poong Sang?"
How did you come all the way here?
You should get a good look at her.
She refuses to look at the camera.
- She must be shy. - You look very pretty.
Okay, then. Goodbye, ma'am.
- Thank you. - Sure.
- Goodbye, ma'am. - Yes, thank you.
It looks like a great place to live in.
It does look great.
Excuse me.
Hello.
- Excuse us. - Excuse us.
(They ring the doorbell of the right next door.)
- Yes? - Hello, ma'am.
- I'm Park Hae Joon, an actor. - Okay.
I was wondering if you can eat with...
You haven't had dinner yet, have you?
- You haven't had dinner, right? - Hello.
- Hello. - Goodness, hello.
Hello. You're Gyeong Gyu.
- Yes, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
This is actor Park Hae Joon.
- I see. - Hello.
He's a movie actor.
- I see. Hello. - You probably don't know him.
And there's Ho Dong over there.
Goodness.
They have nothing to do with us.
My goodness.
Ma'am, have you had dinner yet?
I have a plan this evening.
- Oh, no. - I see.
Today is my birthday, so my kids are...
- taking me out. - Happy birthday.
So I was doing my hair.
Is that your husband?
- Are you the husband? - Hello.
- Goodness, hello. - Hello.
Honey, celebrities came to our house.
- My goodness. - Have you had...
- Hello, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Is it your birthday today?
Yes.
My gosh. You should leave now, then.
Yes, in a little bit. We have to leave in 20 minutes.
- I see. Happy birthday. - My goodness.
Oh, my.
- This means I'll be on TV. - Yes, for a second.
We'll blur you out.
- Thank you. - Happy birthday.
- Nice to meet you. - Yes.
- Nice to meet you. - Happy birthday, ma'am.
- Happy birthday. - My children said they'll treat us.
- Yes. - Goodbye.
- Okay. - Happy birthday.
- Enjoy your dinner. - Goodbye.
Ma'am, so...
(It's the house from before.)
Ma'am, we'll be leaving.
We're really leaving.
Hey, guys.
If your mom changed her mind,
you can tell her to let us know,
then we can eat together.
Mom said she'll give me instant noodles and pigs' feet.
That sounds great.
Sounds great.
- I love noodles and pigs' feet. - Where does she live?
- That place? - Oh, is it that house?
- Okay? - Ho Dong.
- Ho Dong? - Yes.
Hey, she might...
- say yes. - She'll give pigs' feet.
Can you tell me once again? I haven't heard anything yet.
She just said we can't do it because of her guests, right?
It's fine. They said it's fine.
- Really? - Really?
Is it just your thought?
- Did you ask your mom? - Yes, it's... Yes.
- My mom said... Yes. - She said it's okay?
Really?
- Are you sure she said yes? - You should head over.
Really?
But there's no way she would come out alone.
- I already talked to Mom. - She already talked to her.
Your mom told you to come and...
- Stop asking and just go. - Okay.
Hey! She said no.
- What? - She said no?
What? Did she say yes or no?
- Wait. - Let's make sure.
- What? - She must be torn.
- We can? - We can or we can't?
If we pester her, do you think she might say yes?
- There are many people in there. - But we...
can't make them feel uncomfortable.
- That's right. - We can't do that.
Ma'am.
Ma'am, can you open the doors to your heart?
- Ma'am! - We'll just eat the noodles and go.
Hey, you're... What's your name?
I'm Kim Se Hyeon.
- Se Hyeon? - Yes.
I can definitely tell that you're in sixth grade.
- Are you in 5th... No, 6th grade? - I'm in 7th grade.
You're in middle school? Wow, swag.
You're all grown up.
- You're a man. - Yes.
- What about the sister? - I'm Kim Ji Min.
- Ji Min. - You're Ji Min.
- Ji Min. - Ji Min.
We were about to go elsewhere, and you came back alone to get us.
Did your parents send you, or did you come by yourself?
- Se Hyeon made me do it. - This is one chance in our lives.
(This chance can only come once in our lives.)
I mean, this is only one chance I get in my life,
and it'll be an honor to have famous people dine at our place.
I like it. So it would be great if you could dine with us.
Will you invite Hye Bin and me in and become our family today?
- Yes. - Are you the eldest?
- Are you the oldest brother? - Yes.
Then why don't you go back and get permission from your mom?
- Okay. - Wait.
Wait, this is just a thought you had?
I'll talk to my mom and work this out.
- Okay. - We'll be waiting here.
Do you want to take this in?
- Yes, you should take this. - You can take this inside.
Show us how you talk to them. This is the front.
- Good luck! - Se Hyeon, look into the camera.
Se Hyeon, shout out, "I can do it!"
- I can do it! - You can do it!
I'll let you have this too.
You can do it!
(Laughing)
- He's so cute. - I can't believe it.
I think he'll grow up to be a great man in the future.
(He takes the items and goes to persuade his mom.)
Mom, let's have a short talk.
(Persuading)
Let's just have a simple meal.
- I wonder... - I had a talk with her.
Okay, wait. Don't say anything yet.
We have to make this into a good show.
Please don't say anything yet.
Se Hyeon, you are the best entertainer I've met this year.
What are your charms?
First off, I'm good looking.
- You're so cool. - And I'm unique.
I may be small, but I have unique charms.
So I hope I can find favor in your eyes.
Then show me that you're a great entertainer.
- What's my name? - Kang Ho Dong.
Okay, make an acrostic poem with my name.
- K. - Knock out with power.
- He said it right away. - "Knock out with power."
- H. - Hated by no one.
Hated? Hated.
And D?
A dashing man with a round face,
a great ssireum player, Kang Ho Dong.
I will always support you.
Goodness. My gosh, you are...
You're so good at hosting the show.
- My gosh. - Goodness.
Do you want to bring him up as one of your juniors?
- He's great. - Get into your sneakers.
Come with me. Let's do some variety show.
My gosh.
(A variety show genius that Ho Dong loves)
Okay, then. A junior school student,
- Yes, I'm... - Kim Se Hyeon.
- I talked to my mom. - Yes?
My mom said there's nothing to eat at home.
Sadly, we can't...
(Sadly, we can't...)
(The production crew bursts out laughing.)
- You went in so confidently. - I mean,
my mom said there's nothing to eat.
Okay, Se Hyeon. Your family is the most important,
so please tell us one thing you're thankful for your parents.
- A video message? - Yes.
I shouldn't have lost this one chance in life...
that I may never get back.
But you said there's nothing to eat at home.
I'm sorry for nitpicking over this with you just now, Mom.
If we ever have another chance like this,
I will make sure I make a feast...
and treat them.
I'm sorry.
He's good. He's so good.
Can you beatbox? In 1, 2, 3, 4.
(I'm the entertainer of this neighborhood.)
(Looking indifferent)
I'm his fan.
I'll be his fan as of today.
Please remember me!
I don't want to leave.
My gosh, man.
Can we go and beg her...
- to let us have a meal? - Seriously.
Today is the last day of our vacation.
You're right. We can't ruin your last day.
- I'll call you on my show soon. - Okay.
Se Hyeon, you will be my junior...
- as of today. - Yes, thank you.
My senior, Ho Dong, I love you.
(My senior, Ho Dong, I love you!)
I hope to see you on TV in the future.
Yes, okay.
- Thanks, Ji Min. - I'll take that.
- Yes. - Bye, guys.
- Let's go. - What?
Goodness.
(Ho Dong doesn't want to leave Se Hyeon behind.)
- Where are you going? - I have to take him.
- Se Hyeon, let's meet again. - Yes.
- You should work hard. - Yes.
- Let's make a great show. - Okay.
- I really want to see you later. - I'm Hye Bin.
Thanks for being a friend today.
I'm a bit too old for you to know me.
(He bows to the production crew too.)
Goodbye, be good to your parents.
- Don't get in fights. - Ma'am.
- Goodbye. - Did you get changed?
- Look, Hye Bin. - She got changed.
You got changed.
(She got changed and appeared again.)
- I felt so bad. - Don't mention it.
I don't have much food at home,
but my friend will make some spicy fish soup.
- Spicy fish soup? - They said they'll bring fish.
The fish they caught in Namhan River?
Oh, no. They brought it from an island.
(The ingredients are from an island.)
Her mother sent them to her.
So this is Hopyeong-dong.
Here in Hopyeong-dong, Namyangju,
will you invite Jeon Hye Bin and me in and become our family today?
Sure.
(They succeed.)
(Where are you going?)
Se Hyeon!
- Thank you, ma'am. - I want to eat with Se Hyeon.
- Ma'am. - This is unexpected for us too.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you so much. - I'm so relieved.
Let's say goodbye to this camera.
Bye.
When Se Hyeon comes back, please take a shot of him.
- This is amazing. - It's unbelievable.
Ma'am.
Can we take a look around your garden?
Should I open them?
- Do these open automatically? - Yes.
Please show us.
(When you press a button,)
(the gates open.)
Lee Man Gi is going to be shocked when he sees this.
He is surprised to see automatic gates.
(If I hadn't run for the election...)
It's wonderful.
On the other side of these gates is a house...
that coexists with nature.
It must look lovely when it rains.
This big garden is situated in the center of nature,
and there is also a breathtaking view.
They will now enter this house here at Hopyeong-dong.
There are so many dogs.
They're not real dogs.
They're the ones that don't poop.
They're so cute.
These dogs are famous.
They're so cute. They don't poop.
Since their garden is connected to the mountain back there,
the entire rear view looks like their garden.
The entire mountain must seem like their garden.
There are persimmon trees too.
That is ours since we bought it.
- Really? The mountain? - Just this front side.
We were afraid they'd get rid of it.
- You took measures beforehand. - Right.
- You moved here for this. - Right.
You came because of the nature.
Our house is the only one that opens up toward the mountain.
You're right.
Did you live in an apartment before?
Yes, for decades.
Apartments are more convenient.
I get scared easily,
so I was never a big fan of single-family houses.
But now that I've lived in one, I'll never go back.
- Right. - Even if it was only three years?
We traveled all around the country in order to build this house.
Why did you pick this area?
Good question.
This is a metropolitan area.
- The downtown is right there. - Right.
- Hopyeong-dong? - My son lives in Seoul,
and Seoul is nearby.
Where's your husband?
He's out golfing.
- Is he coming home late? - Yes.
(He'll be coming late due to his hobby.)
- Has he retired? - Yes.
We'll take a tour around your house.
(They enter the abode of this elderly couple's.)
- It's so pretty. - It really is.
This is beautiful.
(She keeps marveling.)
The beige-colored interior...
suits the elegant lady.
What kinds of stories will they share here?
- Did you draw that? - Yes.
- Oh, my gosh. - This is great.
You listen to music while drawing.
I don't know if I'm pretty enough to be on TV.
You are gorgeous.
How many children do you have?
- We have twins. - Twins?
- Can you show us some photos? - 1 boy and 1 girl?
I don't have any recent photos.
- They were babies here. - I see.
It's a bit...
They're so cute.
They're both sons.
They will blur it out before airing it.
We must.
They're so cute.
This is on their first birthday.
Look at this.
Ma'am, I have a question.
Are you learning how to draw on your own?
No, I go to a cultural center.
I go there to learn.
I'm not dexterous.
At first, my husband came with me.
But since most of them were female, my husband stopped going.
But for me, I had so much fun.
- It caught your attention. - So...
It hasn't been that long. I started this January.
(It's easy to draw a basketball.)
It's really fun.
My father works out very diligently.
He's the healthiest these days.
The reason why he's so diligent...
- is because it's fun right now. - It is. It's the best time.
That's what he said as well. He feels younger.
He said there are so many things he'd like to do.
They said when you turn 60, you should start double-cropping.
These days, people live up to 100.
But we've already lived half of that duration.
We're still in our youth.
- That's what my father said too. - So...
this is the beginning once again.
My husband retired three years ago.
I built this place and moved in.
Right now, I feel the happiest and most comfortable.
That's great.
What kind of job did you have?
Real estate.
So that's how you found this place.
No wonder.
After finding this site,
I bought it in 30 minutes.
My goodness. I guess we all have houses that are meant to be.
I have a sixth sense.
- A sixth sense? - You knew this was the place...
- the moment you came? - It's my sixth sense.
I didn't even have money, so I borrowed some.
How long did you work in real estate?
10 years.
You worked hard for 10 years...
and received this house as your reward.
You are enjoying your youth...
here in Hopyeong-dong while being surrounded by nature.
Right.
This is your youth.
The stairway to the second floor looks amazing.
- You should go upstairs. - Shall we?
My son lives up there.
Do you live together?
Yes, but he's in Jeju Island right now.
(Her son is on a trip.)
- Does his wife live here too? - My youngest son is married,
but my eldest son isn't.
These lamps are so beautiful.
The house looks so sturdy.
(Once they go upstairs...)
- He has this place for himself. - Lucky him.
(the neatly decorated second floor unfolds before them.)
(It's a modern style.)
This looks wonderful. I can see your son's taste in the furniture.
Take the chair and the paintings for example.
(The son's taste in interior is reflected.)
What kind of job could he have?
Let me guess.
- I think... - The paintings...
He doesn't seem...
like an ordinary worker.
- Is he a freelancer? - Yes.
He reads a lot.
Look at the books.
You can see how much he's experienced...
through these books.
He must feel great to live here with you.
The second floor is completely his.
My goodness, what am I to do with this?
(What is he talking about?)
(They can overlook Namyangju from up here.)
The view is nice.
- Isn't it? - Yes.
(When it rains, I think of)
Is there anyone?
No, I don't. How could I when I got married at 22?
(She makes a confession.)
Was your husband your first boyfriend?
I got married when I was 21. I didn't have any ex-boyfriends.
(Ho Dong is having a great time.)
- Her first love became her last. - That's right.
We were in college. Pretty much, a young girl gave birth to twins...
and strived to raise them.
What's the age gap between you and your husband?
- Four years. - I see.
You were 21, and he was 25.
- That's when you became parents. - Right.
It must've been difficult...
- to raise two sons. - But I still did it.
I did the laundry myself.
You're amazing. You must've
- done it with your own hands. - Yes.
- I did so. - Right.
Let's go prepare dinner.
(They go back downstairs to cook.)
I don't have any side dishes. Since I'm going on a trip tomorrow,
- I've made nothing. - Where are you going?
- Gonjiam. - I see.
She can't bring the spicy fish soup yet because of the traffic.
We don't need to have that soup.
(She washes her hands.)
(Let's Eat Dinner Together's Hand Washing Campaign)
I'll set the table.
From her kimchi fridge,
the first thing she takes out is meat.
She takes out some refreshing dongchimi,
and Hye Bin chops them.
(She's good with knives.)
She takes out some spring onion kimchi,
Hye Bin chops some mustard leaf kimchi.
They show great harmony.
- Hye Bin, don't be surprised. - What is it?
1, 2, 3. It's her.
(Ta-da)
- She looks like an actress. - She truly does.
You were so beautiful.
Oh, my gosh!
- My goodness. - I can understand why...
he married her at such a young age.
He had to hurry and take her.
Have you ever received...
- street casting. - No, because I was in Mokpo.
I should've lived in Seoul.
- Is Mokpo your hometown? - Yes.
Your parents must've been shocked...
to hear that you were going to get married.
We did it in secret.
Why did you?
I was too young to get married.
Exactly. I bet they wouldn't have consented to it.
You got married without your parents' knowing?
We did.
And then, I got pregnant...
and received their consent.
No way.
You were moonstruck.
(She got pregnant first and then asked for permission.)
Ma'am, I need to sit down and listen to this story.
It's a love story.
(They anticipate her story.)
Unlike what you said, there are many side dishes.
- This was made before. - I see.
(The meat is getting cooked.)
I should be in charge of the meat.
(He looks like a professional.)
(When in front of meat, he becomes Boss Kang.)
(Once she scoops up black rice...)
This is amazing.
Let's eat.
This is a feast.
- Eat up. - All right.
This meal in Hopyeong-dong is comprised of natural ingredients.
Delicious dinner.
This meal was...
prepared by the perfect teamwork of...
the lady of Hopyeong-dong...
and the daughter of Namyangju, Hye Bin's...
It's a wholesome meal with natural ingredients.
(A wholesome meal with natural ingredients)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Let's try this now.
By the way, where did you get this mustard leaf kimchi?
I ordered it from Yeosu, Jeolla Province.
You ordered it from a famous restaurant?
It's delicious.
You eat it with meat.
- It's really good. - I made everything else.
You made everything. Even this pickled cucumber?
I picked these from a garden and made these myself.
- What are these? - Perilla leaves.
Are these perilla leaves?
I've never seen these cooked this way.
Someone asked me to come and pick them.
I steamed them and gave out some to my friends.
- I cooked some. - It's good.
(The aroma of the perilla leaves spreads in their mouths.)
(He takes a big mouthful.)
It's dressed in perilla oil, so it's really nutty.
(She's happy.)
Is this the kimchi you made last winter?
No. No. I made it recently.
(It's the kimchi she made recently.)
(He's impressed.)
Try it.
(Try it. It's amazing.)
It's even...
more refreshing than dongchimi.
(She loves it.)
It's really refreshing.
I don't put a lot of fish sauce.
My family doesn't like fish sauce.
It's really delicious.
(They love it.)
(He puts kimchi on top of rice.)
(Then he puts meat on top.)
(He surely knows how to eat it.)
It's the best.
(I know it all, you chose me, didn't you?)
I will try the spring onion kimchi too.
It makes me want to eat instant noodles.
(She tries the spring onion kimchi.)
It would be so delicious with instant noodles.
(It's game over)
(You're mine, spring onion kimchi.)
(She loves the spring onion kimchi.)
Hye Bin, the daughter of Namyangju...
enjoys the flavor of hometown and becomes nostalgic.
Is it good?
I will eat this with the meat.
- It's so delicious. - I made the rest of them.
Kimchi expert Ho Dong...
found the best kimchi in Hopyeong-dong.
(He found the perfect kimchi in Hopyeong-dong.)
(He's touched.)
This is truly incredible.
It's so refreshing.
It's so clean, isn't it?
(She eats the bean sprouts the most gracefully.)
The night in Hopyeong-dong...
deepens with the new family's compliments.
The arches and the moldings...
tell me that she's got...
the superb sense of style.
- My son decorated the place. - Really?
Is he interested in interior design?
He's dexterous. He draws well.
He's got the artistic talent.
I can tell.
He's got a sense of style. He dresses well.
I knew it.
I want him to meet a nice lady and get married.
He's got a sense of style, and he's got no girlfriend.
I think he must be really popular.
You have a boyfriend.
You are suddenly jumping to that?
There's no need to look far.
I will tell him about her.
(Oh, dear.)
Do you want to see the photo of my son?
Let's see his photo.
This is how it all happens.
This is destiny.
This is all destiny, ma'am.
It really is.
I became curious. I am excited too.
- He's handsome. - Let me see.
Let's just take a look. That one.
Is that your son?
- Can I reveal his photo? - No. No. You can't.
I'll describe him.
- First of all, - He's very handsome.
he's got a wide forehead. Dark eyebrows.
He's 188cm tall.
He has single eyelids. But he has very big eyes.
He's got a sharp nose.
Who's the lead actor of "Speed"?
Keanu Reeves.
He looks like Keanu Reeves.
He does look like Keanu Reeves.
He dresses well too.
She's confident about her son.
She's sitting very tall.
(She's a very proud mother.)
I will go to Jeju Island now.
(Keanu Reeves is in Jeju Island. Never mind the film promotion.)
You will put the promotion work aside.
- Cheers to you, Hye Bin. - I will...
promote the film after I return from Jeju Island.
(Love springs in Hopyeong-dong.)
While Hye Bin is trying to meet her destiny,
Gyeong Gyu and Hae Joon are yet to find their destiny.
- Let's go, Hae Joon. - Okay.
It's so hot.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
(Their shouting echoes in the air.)
Hello.
It's the house of that person who was celebrating a birthday.
It's the back gate.
(They were here a while ago, and they are here now.)
That's the front gate. This is the back gate.
Isn't this the same house again?
No, it's not.
(Is it deja vu?)
Let's try this one first. It's hard to walk up.

Nobody is in.
Excuse me.
Yes.
Dogs are barking.
- Oh, no. - Hello.
Hello, ma'am.
- Hello. - I am... Hello.

- Oh, dear. - She had dinner.
- All right. - Thank you.
(Thank you.)
Let's go this way.
(They end up going up.)
(Ringing the doorbell)
The doorbell sounds amazing.
Why does the doorbell sound so lonely?
Who are the people sitting there?
- Them? - Why are they there?
(They are our cameramen.)
They are trying to film the sunset, aren't they?
(He can't believe it.)
They are working so hard.
(They are here.)
(The sun is setting.)
(He presses the doorbell,)
Let's go down.
(but nobody is in.)
- Nobody is in, right? - No.
(Feeling defected)
Nobody is in.
They should put a doorbell. Right?
(Has he gone mad?)
They should put a doorbell.
Wait. We're almost at the end.
(They started from the top and came all the way down.)
I think we should go to the duplex houses.
I think it won't work here.
My gosh.
(There's a gate in the distance.)
Should we go or not? My gosh.
Gosh, should we go or not?
It's double trouble.
I guess we have to go.
(They have to go. What can they do?)
Someone is here.
(Did they see someone?)
There he is.
- Hello, sir. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
(They found a gentleman.)
Sir. Do you know Let's Eat Dinner Together?
- Let's Eat Dinner Together? - Yes. We are here.
We don't care about the side dishes you have.
We can eat instant noodles.
(Following him)
Sir.
- He's actor Park Hae Joon. - Hello.
He's a film star. He used to only play villains.
His new film is coming out, so he came to promote his film.
I've met you before, Gyeong Gyu.
Me? When did you see me?
- In Gyomun-ri. - Pardon me?
- In Gyomun-ri. - Gyomun-ri?
Where did I see you?
- We've met before. - Have we?
I will go and check if she cooked or not.
Please go ahead and ask her.
(Laughing)
Did you see that?
I know so many people.
He looks familiar.
Gyomun-ri...
Sir.
- We don't have many side dishes. - It's all right.
We only have rice and kimchi.
- That's fine. - Yes. Yes.
We don't need anything else. That would do.
- My goodness. - Do you have instant noodles?
We can just eat instant noodles with rice.
Hello, sir. It's nice to meet you.
- We can... - Tell me where you're from.
- Ma'am? - Where are you from?
- Let's Eat Dinner Together of JTBC. - Let's Eat Dinner Together.

We are hungry.
What are you doing? Working?
- I'm getting rid of weeds. - Is that right?
Are those chilies?
No, it's just a green house.
We are going to plant some vegetables to eat.
- Lettuce. - Lettuce and chilies.
(There is a green house for vegetables in a corner.)
It's so breezy here.
We have chairs here.
- It's breezy. - Can we still eat inside?
- It's better here. - When the sun sets, bugs come.
What kind of a tree is this? Isn't it an apple tree?
It's an apple tree.
Look at the apples.
They are natural apples.
The old Seoul Ski Resort...
- was there. - Right.
You can't see it from here.
I saw it from up there.
That is replaced by 3,000 apartment units.
- The ski resort is gone? - Yes, it's gone.
They can't open it because it's too warm here.
(In Hopyeong-dong, there are apartments and houses.)
- This place is... - It's my daughter's.
(It's his daughter's house.)
You live in the same building.
Yes. They live downstairs.

- The production team before... - So...
came to shoot our house.

You, your husband, me, and Hae Joon.
Only the four of us will eat.
No way. They also have mouths just like us.
- That's not what I mean. - All of a sudden...
They've already eaten.
They're shooting it after eating in advance.
- You have eaten, right? - Yes, we have.
- We... - That's what you say on camera.
(He won't believe him easily.)
- No... - We already ate at 5pm.
Tell him that you ate if you did.
- Why do you not say that? - This is so sudden.
- We've already eaten. - Right. You should say that then.
You kept quiet, so I became...
- Gosh. - a fool.
- You have eaten, right? - Yes.
They say they have eaten.
That's what they say on camera.
(He won't budge.)
- By the way, this is good. - It's really good.
- Drink this. - Okay.
This is good.
This is homemade.
- I know. - That is.
It is so good.
Gosh, I can't believe the production team is here.
You could just go fishing.
Why do you bother to do this show too?
Fishing?
I think I should cook more rice.
Where is Young Ju?
She's downstairs.
- You should go downstairs. - Wait.
That's my daughter's house, and it would be better as they have kids.
- It'll be okay to eat with you. - If you want to...
- Pardon? - raise the ratings,
the house downstairs will be better.
- We have nothing here. - The thing is...
- They have children. - Sir.
- Let them eat comfortably. - We like this place.
- No. - You can eat here.
Okay. I think we're meant to eat together.
- I don't think so. - Gosh.
- Goodness. - Sir.
We're the ones who should be worried about the ratings.
(We'll try hard to raise the ratings.)
We'll raise it on our own.
(I'll wait and see.)
(Let's Eat Dinner Together's Hand Washing Campaign)
(Wash your hands thoroughly with soap for 30 seconds.)
You're making rolled omelet, right?
Today, instead of the second Jang Dong Gun,
Hae Joon dreams of becoming the second Baek Jong Won.
(Hesitating)
It's bursting.
Can I put this on here?
Sure.
- Is this bean paste stew? - Yes.
(Putting in tofu too)
- You're so good. - Thanks.
- You're very skillful. - I used to live alone,
so I can make basic dishes like stew.
You're not only a handsome actor,
but a great cook.
How did you meet me in Gyomun-ri?
In Gyomun-ri...
- We had a meal together. - Sorry?
We had a meal together.
What?
(With me?)
How many years ago?
If you go down from a market,
there was a Chinese restaurant below a small store, right?
Yes.
- There... - He can't remember that.
- Do you play golf? - I used to play the drums.
- I see. - Se we ate together after an event.
(I see.)
You hosted the event.
Our team went to eat there and bumped into you.
(He ate with Gyeong Gyu after an event.)
Back then, you came in an Equus.
(You came in an Equus back then.)
It was a new model back in the days,
- but it's the oldest model now. - Right.
You came in that model.
(Gyeong Gyu came in a fancy car.)
I remember that.
It was a very nice car back then.
I think it was about 15 years ago.
We had to perform in some events to earn more money.
If we just stayed in clubs,
it was not enough.
(He was a very practical drummer.)
Do you understand what he is talking about?
- I don't understand very well. - You don't?
Let me explain it in more details.
- There were night clubs back then. - Okay.
And there were bands...
- who played the instruments. - Right.
And singers would sing to the music.
But now, almost all the teams were disbanded,
- so we play improvised music. - So...
- Back then... - You're letting everyone know that.
If my alumni watch this,
they'll know what my husband's job was.
Did I steal anything or what?
- I was lawfully paid. - I didn't want to talk about that.
I'd earn the amount public officials would earn for a year, in a month.
Because you were a musician.
It was very strange though.
We'd earn much more money than others,
But we'd be left less money than regular office workers.
Whenever we finished our performances, we gathered and drank.
Yes. As we had a lot of cash in our pockets after performances.
Public officials couldn't drink that much,
but we did,
so they had more money left after a month.
When you were doing music,
there was a singer who sang "I Got Wind of It", right?
- Ham Jung A. - Yes, Ham Jung A.
You're that generation, right?
No, I think he's my senior.
- Is he your senior? - Yes.
What was the name of your band?
It was King's Brothers.
- King's Pro... - Brothers.
- King's Brothers? - Yes.
- King's Brothers. - King's Brothers.
Can you name a few familiar singers...
that you played the instruments for?
- Back then? - Yes.
- There was Im Chang Je. - Pardon?
Im Chang Je.
("Letter" was the biggest hit of the duo, Onions.)
He was in Ui-dong.
I retired now.
They don't call us anymore, and machines replaced us.
In the past, it was impossible...
- to perform without a band. - Right.
- It was not possible at all, - It was not.
but new music systems were introduced,
and bands became unnecessary.
I was close to band members back in the days.
- After performing, - I really was.
- we drank a lot together. - After events.
- We had parties. - I had to get along with them so...
- Right. - I can be invited to many events.
We'd finish working in the morning, right?
I would introduce singers to sing on stage too.
If a singer...
doesn't listen to them or arrive late,
the band would raise the key.
Some bands would...
hit an offbeat...
so singers can't sing well.
When we wanted to put singers through trouble,
all of us raise half a scale together.
Then singers would scream.
- On purpose? - On purpose.
Singers would not notice at first.
"What's wrong with my tone?"
Because we raise it all together...
to put them through trouble on purpose.
Then they'd buy...
two fried chickens for us...
after noticing what was going on.
"She doesn't even say hello to us."
"All right. Let's see what happens tomorrow."
(What happened between singers and bands back then)
It was like that back then.
What do you do these days?
I work in my house.
- Pardon? - I do the housework.
(I do the housework.)
The lawn is so neat,
and the garden is well organized.
- There is so much work to do. - Every day,
- Every day? - he's outside.
- He works outside every day. - He says it's a lot of work.
Those who don't have a clue live in a house like this.
If you know what it's like, you can't live here.
This is a house where you live when you're young,
and you should move out when you get older.
But I did the opposite.
Oh, you should live here when you're young, but move out...
- when you grow old? - Exactly.
- Look at this. It looks so good. - I just...
I made it just at the right time. I made it yesterday.
Are they what you grew in your garden?
I have what I grew too,
but I couldn't pick them.
- They are in the garden. - Then where are they from?
Since I said I didn't have much food to eat,
my daughter gave them to me.
There are so many chili peppers in the yard.
There are many of them in the yard, but I couldn't pick them.
When there are so many chili peppers in the yard...
I know.
Because it's getting dark.
Please just mix rice...
- Okay. - with this bean paste stew.
Go look for some more food.
We'll be criticized if this gets aired.
(Rummaging)
What?
(But there is abundant food already.)
Now that you're from a TV station,
my husband cares a lot about you.
- That's too cold to serve. - It's okay, sir.
All we need is rice.
- Pardon? - Rice.
He wants to give us more.
He wants to set an abundant table.
- Ma'am. - Yes?
Although we don't eat...
the kimchi stew, let's put it on the table.
To make the man who lays stress on looks feel better,
they start to add more dishes.
(Perilla leaves are added.)
(Grilled laver is added too.)
Don't you have yellow corvinas?
- Yellow corvinas? - Yellow corvinas?
(He wants to take out more food so badly.)
- Yellow corvinas? - Yellow corvinas...
There are many yellow corvinas,
- but... - Then you should grill them.
You can microwave them and grill them quickly.
Gosh. Look at this. You have a lot of food.
- Seriously. - Gosh.
Why did you not want to cook them? We can thaw them quickly.
- What are they? - They're yellow corvinas too.
2... There are as many as 3 of them.
- Should I grill laver too? - Let's grill them.
You can microwave them together.
There are two more, sir.
Three fish?
There is more.
One fish each.
(Giving the thawed corn to the production crew)
I don't mind if they're not cooked now.
It's okay even if they're not cooked now.
Gosh, we have to let them eat the fish.
You just want to show them off?
We should put them on the table and eat them as if they were cooked.
Then it'll look nice on camera.
(The fish are thawed.)
It's not cut easily because it's raw.
(Putting the lid on it)
I think I should pick the chili peppers.
We already have chili peppers here.
Because they're worse than those we grew.
Let's just eat them. It's hard to notice.
It's hard to tell which chili peppers are better.
As a finishing blow,
he asks for the village foreman's help.
All of them are here.
Please ask her to bring side dishes.
- I don't know if it'll be good. - Is she your daughter?
- Put it on a dish. - Isn't it mustard leaf kimchi?
(Seasoned dried squid is added too.)
Before they knew it, a fancy table...
the man is satisfied with is ready.
- Pretend like it didn't happen. - What?
- Pretend like it didn't happen. - What didn't?
- We have a lot of rice. - Let's all eat together.
They already ate.
- It's okay. - Tell them so.
- I don't think they did. - Where?
Where did you eat?
- Over there. - Over where?
- They already ate. - Where though?
Hopyeong-dong.
Let's Eat Dinner Together.
It's a feast.
(He's amazed by all the food.)
(Bean paste stew, young radish kimchi,)
(yellow corvinas, laver, rolled omelet, chilis, braised kimchi)
This meal has been planned out...
by the man who emphasizes outer beauty.
It's the right feast to air on TV and has everything you need.
- Thank you for the meal. - Thank you for the meal.
- Eat up. - Thank you.
- You came all the way here. - Could you give me that?
How's the rice?
(Savoring)
- The yellow corvina is good. - We got this here.
- This? - Yes, we grew them.
You must cook a lot at home.
- What? - You must cook a lot at home.
Try some of this.
The rice is not moist enough.
- It's good. - It is.
Hae Joon relieves the nervousness he feels...
for his first variety show through eating.
It turns out, he really knows how to eat well.
(He doesn't stop eating.)
This delicious feast helps Gyeong Gyu...
forget the summer heat.
(He doesn't stop eating either.)
This is a fabulous meal in Hopyeong-dong...
made by the mother and directed by the father.
She kept saying she didn't have much food, but they kept coming out.
(It's truly a feast.)
We got this from the village foreman's.
You should have more.
- Okay. - Have more.
- Eat up. - You should.
Have more. The night is long.
- I'll have more. - I have a lot of rice.
- Could you give me more rice? - Sure.
This bean paste stew is delicious.
- I'll get it. - What?
(He scoops up another bowl.)
(She gets more for Gyeong Gyu.)
Don't scoop up too much.
They're having another bowl just because of this show,
so scoop up just a little bit.
(Scoop up just a bit.)
No, sir. I'm actually hungry.
This pumpkin is really delicious.
You should give some to the staff.
- Someone should have a bite. - He was a musician.
(Someone needs to have some.)
So he's used to taking care of the staff.
He wants everyone to be well fed.
(Meanwhile, how is Ho Dong and Hye Bin doing?)
You must've been in high school when you first met your husband.
No. We only dated for a year, so it was after graduation.
How did you first meet him?
We were pen pals.
Where is your husband's hometown?
- Mokpo. - It's the same as you.
There was this thing called a pen pal corner.
My friend used my photo on it, and she wanted to do it.
He brought my photo and visited my friend.
He came to her house.
She lived next door.
Her name is Hyang.
He looked for Hyang, and she came out,
but she had a different face.
So he showed her my photo and said he was looking for me.
My friend came to me.
She told me that a guy visited her with my photo.
So I told her to tell him to wait at a nearby bakery.
I went there...
and explained the situation.
After that, I retrieved my photo and came back home.
But after that incident,
he kept visiting me.
How did you feel when you saw him?
What was your first impression?
He's the studious type.
And that wasn't my type.
I like guys who play sports.
But you know what? You've made a wise decision.
- Guys who like sports... - Right.
might not be sincere enough.
- What's wrong with playing sports? - But now...
I mean, they want to have more fun.
I'm not saying you're one of them.
She had no interest in him...
and went there to retrieve her photo.
What made you change your mind?
He ran away from home.
He cut ties with his father and left home.
He wanted to get married despite his father's disapproval.
(His family was against it.)
- His father was in the military. - He left home...
because his father disapproved?
(He's so manly.)
Where did he go?
He was dramatic, saying he'd shave his head and go into a temple.
But he is quite incredible.
He can be quite headstrong.
He came to my house on a rainy day...
with his head shaved, saying he was going to a temple.
(He knew how to be dramatic.)
- That's why. - I can understand.
I thought he was solely the studious type.
But his drive is amazing.
His drive is incredible.
He rented a place so he could live there.
But he got the wrong place, and it leaked when it rained.
So I offered him a new place.
I told him to move in to this new place after making up.
The company I was working at allowed me...
to go on a training session for a month.
Back then, we didn't have much means to keep in touch.
After that month, I was supposed to go home,
but I wanted to visit him.
I wondered if he had moved in there.
Usually, after being away for a month, you'd miss your parents...
and want to see them.
It's not always like that.
(Her mind was somewhere else.)
- This is... - She had to see her parents.
She knew where she had to go, but her feet were moving elsewhere.
- Though he wasn't her boyfriend. - I know.
I went there, and he was still there.
- He was? - He was waiting for her...
- to come back. - And then?
You must've felt bad for him.
He probably triggered the motherly love in you.
He had so much trash in there. When I was done cleaning,
it was past 12am.
(It was past 12am when she was done cleaning.)
You had no choice but to sleep there.
He had so much trash in there. When I was done cleaning,
it was past 12am.
(It was past 12am when she was done cleaning.)
You had no choice but to sleep there.
- Korea had a curfew back then. - Right.
- She couldn't leave. - Even if she wanted to.
- No. - There was no transportation.
Back then, women got pregnant just by holding hands while sleeping.
(Holding hands impregnated them.)
(This is how the elderly joke around.)
(She doesn't know what to do.)
They had abundant vigor.
- I know. - They were full of energy.
- Goodness. - These days, it isn't possible.
But back then, holding hands made you pregnant.
I see. I guess people back then got married when they locked eyes.
It's fate.
Are you sure? It seems like you wanted it to happen.
You could've cleaned up the day after.
Exactly. Good job.
When I do something, I make sure I do it right.
- I don't give up midways. - It's your personality.
You don't give up.
I thought we were destined.
That's when I made the decision.
How did your parents react when you went home...
- after getting pregnant? - My father...
just drank. There was nothing he could do but give us his consent.
- He must've been upset. - So...
both of our families hurried with the marriage.
We didn't get each other any wedding gifts.
The monthly rent was...
150 dollars a year, 15 dollars a month.
- That's where we started. - From rock bottom.
- You're right. - It took 40 years...
until you were finally complete.
Although, I'm sure you were complete from the start.
You became a mother at such a young age.
- She had... - She must've struggled so much.
so much persistence.
- You must've persevered so much. - I know.
- It brings tears to my eyes. - I bet.
When one of the kids was sick, the other one was sick as well.
No one was there to help me.
I bathed them on my own.
I prepared all three meals for my husband.
It was extremely difficult...
that at times, I wished someone could raise one of them.
It was so hard to raise both of them by myself.
(She even thought of something unthinkable.)
But since I gave birth and raised both of them at once,
I'm happy.
You went through so much.
But once she overcame it,
- I bet her blessings doubled. - I bet.
You're right. Whenever they do something,
they take equal parts in it.
- It's good. - That's great.
I like it now.
I'd feel bad...
- if one paid for everything. - Right.
- They pay half for trips. - That's wonderful.
Hye Bin and I first met...
through a program...
called "Match Made in Heaven".
- Is that so? - Yes.
That's why we talked about fated relationships today.
I do believe that she and her husband are meant to be.
- I agree. - We do have a tie.
I got our marital compatibility read.
Since we met when we were young,
we fought so often.
Turns out, two mandarin ducks had their necks around each other.
They wouldn't let go.
(This was their destiny.)
Through a photo, they were connected.
They were meant to be,
and their times together made them stronger.
(They were truly fated.)
Did you work any other jobs?
- I had various jobs. - You did?
Because of your husband?
(Laughing)
No, just to make ends meet.
- I worked various jobs. - Right.
You didn't do much.
My parents-in-law...
have two sons.
But they left all their property to the older son,
and we didn't get anything. So we've gone through all kinds of hardships.
- That's what people used to do. - They cared about the older son.
That's right.
So...
He went to work in the morning.
He worked day and night.
What did he do during the day?
I worked for a trading company.
You played in a band at night while working at a trading company?
Yes. I got off work at six. It was the condition.
If I stayed there until after six, I couldn't work at night.
Was it even possible to go to work in the morning?
It was hard.
He had hard times. He could only do it because he was young.
I slept only for 4 to 5 hours a day.
I didn't even have my weekends off.
That happened a lot back then.
It's not that I played in a band to make money.
I just loved music.
It's not like I tried to make a career of it...
and make money from it.
I did it because I liked music.
I was just lucky to get paid and make some money.
I've never thought of...
making it my profession.
Did you marry your husband because you fell for him...
when you saw him play the drums?
She's never seen me play the drums.
Really?
I was fooled by him.
What did he do?
I thought he was kindhearted, but it wasn't true.
(Embarrassed)
- You thought he was kindhearted? - Yes.
So you were fooled?
He seems nice.
A married couple knows each other.
- That's right. - I can't tell you anything.
He's worse than me.
(A bolt from the blue)
- No one knows. - He'd be worse than me.
So how did you two meet?
Was it a love marriage or an arranged marriage?
It's half and half.
It was an arranged marriage, but you dated too.
How long did you date?
About a year.
Then you were fooled by him?
(He feels bitter.)
Did you know him as an employee at a trading company...
or a drummer?
I knew he played the drums.
- Did you? - And I didn't hate it.
- The fact that he was a musician? - I was proud.
Artists are very brilliant.
- It's not something anyone can do. - Right.
And he seemed nice.
- He's good with his hands. - Right.
- He can do anything. - Isn't that right?
He even made the garden himself.
- It's not an easy thing to do. - It is so neat.
He did the whole thing.
- In the scorching sun. - Right.
We saw about 30 houses in the neighborhood,
but we didn't see anyone mowing the lawn.
He was the only one who was doing it.
It's not like he was told to do that.
It was so hot today.
We get a warning text message on a hot day...
that says we shouldn't go out.
But he doesn't seem to care.
To be honest, it will be my loss if he passes out.
But he wouldn't listen.
He always wants to get things done.
(Letting out a sigh)
I hate his character.
(Flustered)
You should take...
- He seems embarrassed. - I mean, you should...
take good care of yourself. That's the most important thing.
Your body is an irreplaceable treasure to you.
But he doesn't... Whenever I think of it,
my heart aches a lot. He's always like that.
Why doesn't he take good care of himself?
I'm so frustrated.
If he changes that character, he'll be just perfect.
He even tried really hard...
to set the table tonight.
- He gathered everything up he had. - Right.
- I was so busy, but... - He gathered everything up.
He even called the village foreman to prepare a sumptuous feast.
I had two bowls of rice.
And I had sujeonggwa too.
He even forced the crew members eat the food.
Now I get it.
(I see.)
I guess...
it's good to live in a country house, not in an apartment.
- The air is nice here. - Right.
When I look out, everything is green.
I know.
My friends are so jealous of me.
They don't even know what it is like.
I'm serious. They are really jealous.
I think so.
How much do you think the grass grows a day?
- Roughly? - A day.
- A day? - It grows a lot.
In 10 days, it becomes a total mess.
- It's crazy. - Right. It'd be like this.
If you don't cut the grass on your ancestors' graves,
it's covered all over with grass.
It grows a lot.
It grows even faster because I fertilize the garden.
I know my husband is having a hard time, but it is really good.
Never...
(Never...)
(He says that from the bottom of his heart.)
- I have to move. - You have to move?
- We'll move out later. - So...
after your kids graduate from elementary school...
and stop running in the house.
- When they stop running? - That's when we will move out.
(He wants to escape from the country house.)
You have two sons. How did you like the garden?
- I'm really jealous. - You are?
This is how I want to live.
But I'm not sure if I could do this.
Let's do this then.
We will live here for another year.
Then you can take over our house.
(Laughing)
It's a good idea.
You're selling the house?
We've done a good job tending the garden.
It looks beautiful when the roses are out.
My lease expires in two years.
Sign the contract.
It's hard though, right?
- No. - You should mow the lawn.
You don't have to mow the lawn.
You can hire someone to do that.
You're still young.
- Because I'm young? - We don't have a job.
But you have a job, and you don't have time.
I have a job. I mow the lawn.
Think about it...
I'll think about it.
You said you have sons.
(She wouldn't give up.)
That's right.
We have one thing left to do.
You should say three good things about your wife.
And one disappointing thing.
Three good things about her.
Gosh, that's...
Why would I do that?
I'm embarrassed to do that.
You were shocked when she said she was fooled?
You go first then.
- Compliment him? - Yes.
I just did it.
I said he'd be perfect.
He takes good care of the whole house.
And he's perfect with his career.
But one disappointing thing is...
- Let's wrap it up here. - that he's so stubborn.
- Let's wrap things up. - Please sit.
- Let's end it here. - Please come here.
Just say one good thing about her.
Maybe next time.
(He runs away not to compliment her.)
Let's say he complimented you.
He knows good things about me.
He's just shy.
He's a musician. Why is he so shy?
I'll put him on the phone.
(Ho Dong and Hye Bin talks to the son on the phone.)
Your mom says she's sorry toward you.
She became a mother...
at an early age.
It's okay. We're doing just fine now.
Now you should thank your mom and say...
three good things about her.
Thank you for raising me.
What's the second?
Thank you for taking good care of the family.
What's the third?
Thank you for living your life so passionately.
Now your mom wants to compliment you.
Thank you for being a nice son.
Okay.
And I'd like you to get married as soon as possible.
That's what she wants.
(It's half praise and half blame.)
Okay.
And it'd be even better...
if you get married and get me a grandchild.
We made great memories with your mom today.
- Okay. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
As they talked on the phone,
I could tell how much they love each other.
You guys are a loving family.
Then you should compliment your husband now.
(The wife compliments the husband.)
Honey. Thank you...
for raising our two smart sons so well.
And thank you for keeping your eyes on me and loving me.
But I'd like you to get rid of your obsession a little.
He loves me too much.
(She compliments and blames him at the same time.)
We will be living for a hundred years.
Take good care of your health.
Let's live together loving each other even more.
- Say, "I love you." - I love you.
This is Perfect Match Special.
We don't know who he is, but leave a message to your...
- future soulmate. - Suddenly?
Ask him where on earth he is.
I...
(Hesitating)
To my future other half.
Suddenly?
- Good. Good. - Yes.
(The old person likes it.)
Let's...
Like her. I like someone reckless.
Show up like a bulldozer...
and take me.
I want to live happily.
(Back to reality)
- I'm sure he'll show up soon. - Yes.
- Now he's going to show up soon? - I might suddenly...
announce that I'm getting married this year.
- You never know. - Of course.
