(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.)
Among the high-rise apartments,
(Among the high-rise apartments,)
there is a forest.
Dreams are cast on these green hills.
(The sheep are chewing grass.)
It's tasty.
The grass is tasty.
(They serve some tasty grass.)
Who are these two people...
that are feeding the sheep?
Gyeong Gyu, the scorching heat...
is now gone.
I bet that after two weeks,
it'll be great to walk around.
By the way,
- a while ago, - It'll be cool.
We went to Songdo, right?
We went to Incheon several times.
- We went to Cheongra too. - Yes, Cheongra New Town.
- We went to Songwol-dong too. - Right.
(They visited the Fairy Tale Village.)
Where are we at the moment?
This is...
Nonhyeon-dong.
- Nonhyeon-dong? - Yes.
That's where your house is.
Right. The Chinese characters for both Nonhyeon-dongs...
are the same.
- Even the meaning? - Yes.
(It means that there's a rice paddy on the hills.)
(The sheep are baaing.)
There are sheep here.
This looks like Daegwallyeong in Gangwon-do.
You're right.
It's so nice.
They're feeding them.
- Excuse me! - We'd like to ask you something!
Since when were the sheep here?
Since a long time ago.
(She plays along as well.)
- You sound interesting. - They sound like sheep.
I've spent way too many years with these sheep.
What is their favorite food?
Grass.
(He's a sheep himself.)
This is fun.
Let's eat.
Come here.
(These are the guests.)
How should they get out?
(Footage provided by CJ ENM)
(He's an expert at speaking with a lisp.)
With his unique acting skills and distinct individuality,
he has secured his position in the acting industry.
He has also captured many viewers' hearts.
(He has also captured many viewers' hearts.)
He also won the Supporting Actor Award...
at Baeksang Arts Awards.
He is Park Ho San, a talented...
and rising actor.
(This is Seung Yeon, the weather forecaster.)
Is she a member of TWICE? No.
She did gain more fame for being Jeong Yeon's older sister.
You should marry her.
(Footage provided by SBS)
I'm telling you to take her in as you concubine.
Through many great projects, she has improved her acting skills.
She is Gong Seung Yeon, a unique...
and rising star.
The actor and actress who have dominated the dramas...
are here to dominate Dining Together.
Hello, JTBC. We've never met before.
I'm Actor Park Ho San.
- Park Ho San. - "Prison Playbook"...
is from tvN.
Have you seen that drama?
Of course.
- He was excellent. - He truly was.
They called him Mullae-dong's Genius.
(They seem to roam around more often that the officers these days.)
The script didn't mention the character having a lisp.
But the writer and the director...
had already agreed to make him sound like that.
Don't you feel nostalgic after hearing this?
Aren't you happy?
- That's hilarious. - Is this your first time at JTBC?
- Yes, it's my first JTBC variety. - Right.
I'm currently filming a JTBC drama called...
"Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency".
You can't advertise it.
Then pretend like you didn't hear me.
- Hold on. - Goodness.
Why are you two here?
We're shooting the same drama.
A long time ago, her family member visited...
our program as a guest.
- Her family member? - Yes.
I'll give you a hint.
- "Bottoms up." - "Bottoms up"?
Oh, you mean when I said that?
Like this.
(Bottoms up?)
(They're shocked.)
(Bottoms up?)
(Let's get wasted.)
(Seung Yeon's family member learned a new word.)
What was that again?
(He gives him another hint.)
- Tzuyu? - She never came out.
But her members did.
- Right, TWICE. - Yes. TWICE.
- I remembered. - TWICE.
(They love his lisp.)
- I know her. - Right, you do.
I'm Jeong Yeon's older sister,
Actress Gong Seung Yeon.
It's both of your first time on a JTBC drama, right?
You're right.
How is it?
It's very sophisticated.
I'm serious.
- It's classy? - It's fully equipped.
It has the coolest filming sites.
Even though we layer ourselves in hanbok,
it's very cool.
Did you dye your hair white on purpose?
- I purposely dyed it black before. - It's his natural hair color.
- So it's your natural hair color. - Yes.
- Let's walk first. - What?
We've been standing under the sun for too long.
Seung Yeon, you look very beautiful.
- Really? - I'm serious.
- Never mind him. - When you look at news articles...
You call every woman pretty.
That's not it.
She's not just pretty.
You shouldn't say such things.
What does that mean?
You are a true beauty.
(His actions don't match his words.)
Thank you.
- Give that to her. - Please read this.
Okay. "Have dinner in Nonhyeon-dong, Incheon."
With whom?
Whom are we supposed to have dinner with?
Whom do you think?
Today, the team will be having a meal...
at Nonhyeon-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon.
There is a variety of schools...
ranging from elementary to high school.
There are also various kinds of residences such as...
high-rise apartments,
houses with terraces, and single-family houses.
They call this area the Gangnam of Incheon.
What kind of dinner will they have?
Dining Together, episode 142,
"Dining Playbook".
(Episode 142: "Dining Playbook")
- Can I talk to you like a brother? - Sure.
I was born in 1972.
(He's 2 years younger than Ho Dong.)
You've been in so many projects,
but we've never met once,
- Ho San. - It hasn't been that long.
I've only started appearing on TV for two years now.
He used to participate in plays in Daehangno.
Since he's so good at taking care of himself...
and is known for not having any haters,
he's known as the Lee Gyeong Gyu of Daehangno.
What?
He has no haters.
- You don't have any. - Of course, I do.
Oh, so you do know.
Of course.
(He has a lot of haters.)
What kinds of comments do you usually get?
They say, "That's enough."
(He's bitter.)
They want me to stop.
(The cicadas' cries sound even sadder today.)
By the way,
- isn't this place pretty unique? - Yes.
- You can see apartments over there. - Yes.
- Is this a lake? - Yes.
(There's a big apartment complex across the forest.)
Is this a reservoir or a lake?
Look at the size of this tree, Ho Dong.
I bet this wasn't planted.
No, it was there.
- It's been here. - They created an artificial lake...
without damaging the original environment.
And they connected the apartment complex...
with the forest.
I can't believe how there can be a forest inside a large complex,
and a lake inside a forest.
- What an amazing environment. - It's nice.
Look at the squirrel.
- My. There really is one. - A squirrel.
It's fun to watch wild animals appearing on the show.
This guy is...
(Eyes focused)
It's on the fence.
(He's too quick to capture on the camera.)
- It's nimble. - Because he hung out...
with humans a lot here,
he's human-friendly.
He's not scared of people.
Look. It's singing.
- What is? - It's singing.
A cicada.
It's the song of nature. Nature is singing.
- I love this forest trail. - Yes.
- It really is a forest trail... - Here.
- because there are spider webs. - Really?
There are mosquitoes.
(He gets excited when people pay attention to him.)
How come...
I keep running into spider webs alone?
Because you have a big face.
(Brutal fact)
I shouldn't have walked in the lead.
(Embarrassed)
Check that out, Ho Dong. It's an old factory.
- A factory? - Yes.
It's Namdong Industrial Complex.
There used to be a large industrial complex here.
There were many factories.
- Are they still... - They're probably still operating.
- Did you live here? - No.
How do you know so well?
The producer told me...
on the way here in the car.
- I forget easily. - Then how did you remember?
- I forget as soon as I say it. - Cramming up?
I crammed up.
- It's all gone after 30 minutes. - It's gone.
- So he was rushing. - I had to rush.
When we take a picture later,
I'll be like, "What's the name of this town again?"
I wonder...
what it'd look like if we look down here with a drone.
Drone! Drone!
- I don't think there is one. - There it is.
It's really coming.
I wonder what broadcasting stations would've done without drones.
Probably sprawled out.
(What?)
(Ho Dong likes his joke.)
You have an ambition for variety shows.
- I don't. - You clearly do.
I just like dad jokes.
He often tells dad jokes.
I think you're taking this as your opportunity.
This show isn't what you think it is.
We're shooting "Men on a Mission" together tomorrow.
- Tomorrow? He's ambitious. - Yes.
- No. - It seems...
the guests warm up on Dining Together...
and head to "Men on a Mission".
(Undeniable)
Is this a meeting point or what?
We have to meet here, so we'd know each other tomorrow.
Which show is on first?
- "Men on a Mission". - "Men on a Mission" is first.
"Men on a Mission" is poison to this show.
- How? - You need to...
take care of it.
You want me to meddle with the show schedule?
That's right. You need to meddle.
I mean, are you...
- going to be on that show too? - Yes, I am.
- You too? - Yes.
Then are you here to warm up too?
You can invite Gyeong Gyu to "Men on a Mission".
- I have. - Really?
Just go and talk down.
(Absurd)
That show has no context.
That show doesn't even have a context.
They just tell you to do something out of the blue.
However, Dining Together is like...
reading a book on culture.
You're going to feel warm and happy...
as if you read a book before you leave today.
This is a pretty well-built artificial park.
- Right? - It's a nice place to raise kids.
There's a forest trail, and the park is well organized.
There's a large apartment complex, and Sorae Port is nearby.
You're lucky to be on the show for the best season.
(A park,)
(art,)
(and education coexist in Nonhyeon-dong.)
Out of the therapeutic park in the city,
they enter the residential area of Nonhyeon-dong, Incheon.
I think I've seen you surfing on TV.
- Recently on JTBC... - Am I right?
(Ho San is known as a surf mania among celebrities.)
(He's a great surfer.)
- Oh, look. - You have a video.
- You're pretty good. - Gyeong Gyu.
(Ho San's wife filmed him surfing.)
Did someone film you while surfing?
- Yes, my... - It's from far away.
Oh, you fell.
My wife filmed it.
- This is... - You can't surf for that long.
That's actually considered a long time.
- Getting up is hard. - Right.
- You got up. - That's cool.
(The man of ocean traverses the wave.)
It's different from what we've seen in the movie.
- The waves are different. - This is a real wave.
Are you sure that's not a swimming pool?
You surf these waves.
When you actually surf, the waves feel very high.
- Really? - Yes.
- Have you tried? - Just once. It felt very high.
This breeze is from the ocean.
- Isn't it? - It's so cool.
- Isn't it different from the city? - Yes.
That's the ocean in front.
Really? Then people can see the ocean in their houses?
I'm sure they can see it from up there.
(A cool breeze from the ocean right next to the city)
I'm sure it's a great view.
I know.
It's best to visit real estates to understand the neighborhood.
Talk to the realtors for five minutes,
and you know what this neighborhood is like.
When you visit realtors, do you give them notice in advance?
- No. - You just go?
- Do you ask them on the spot? - We just go.
We just go.
- Let's go in. - Yes.
- He's working. - Is he?
- Hello. - I think he'll say yes.
- Nice to meet you. - Hello.
- Nice to meet you. - Yes.
This is Dining Together.
Can you explain the location of this area?
If you look here, this grey part is...
- Namdong Industrial Complex. - Okay.
Namdong Industrial Complex I told you about earlier.
And currently,
we're here.
Oh, really?
Is that all ocean in front?
This is the way to Sorae Port.
- Sorae Port is right here. - I see.
Then that's a sea route.
It's a sea route. Yes.
- And Songdo is... - Yes, Songdo.
By the way, sir...
- This is Actor Park Ho San. - Hello.
- Hello. - Your hairstyle.
- It's the same color. - Hold on.
(Same hair color)
- Are you brothers? - I know.
My mom said she adopted me. Maybe...
- What's your name? - It's Kang Gyeong Chul.
It's a different last name.
(Park Ho San, Kang Gyeong Chul)
He tried to insist if they had the same last name.
Since when did your hair turn grey?
Around 40? After I turned 40.
- Right. - It turned grey naturally.
(Their hair turned grey naturally.)
My hair started turning grey at 40. It started at 39.
Those look funny.
The glasses.
(Changed)
He changed them.
It's charismatic.
(When they're down, he looks charismatic.)
(When they're up, he looks intelligent.)
- It's a trendy item. - Right.
That's cool.
What is Nonhyeon-dong like?
Nonhyeon-dong is about...
9 to 12 years old. It took 12 years to build.
Was it all farms and paddies just like its name?
A Korean gunpowder company used to...
test dynamites here.
- It was a hill. - A hill.
The company built apartments on it and hit the jackpot.
(It was a jackpot to build an apartment complex on a hill.)
Really?
He made it easy for us to understand.
They kept blowing up and hit the jackpot.
I said this is the Gangnam of Incheon.
- Oh, you can say that. - Right.
When a large new city is built,
where do people come from the most?
Those who feel burdened to move to Songdo.
And since this is a new city,
the enthusiasm for education is high.
And since there's Namdong Industrial Complex,
the many owners of Namdong Industrial Complex...
live here.
- They move here to commute. - The factories owners.
Do you recognize our guest?
I don't watch TV often. I'm sorry.
- It's all right. - Still.
It's my first time seeing you too.
- It's my first time meeting you. - Right.
He's going to be on a new JTBC drama series.
- We'll get going now. - Yes.
- Yes, thank you. - He's looking for something.
- What are you doing? - He's looking himself up.
He's looking himself up for him.
How witty.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Bye.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
- Jeong Yeon was on the show before. - Yes.
Did she give you any advice?
- She told me not to tell you. - Okay.
She said if I partner up with Gyeong Gyu, I get to go home early.
(Jeong Yeon gave a sweet tip.)
- Was I her partner? - Yes.
- Right. You had a meal together. - Yes.
I'm actually not as experienced. I take a long time.
Did Jeong Yeon say anything bad about me?
Not at all.
Good then.
It bothered me.
I doubt that's a sea route.
I don't think they built a sea route here.
That's Baegot over there.
- Over there? - Yes, that's Baegot.
- Across the water? - Yes.
(It's Baegot New Town across the bridge.)
It's very calm.
(Baegot New Town, Nonhyeon District)
It's Chuseok Special.
- So... - It's okay.
- if you succeed, - Yes.
you get Korean beef.
- As a gift? - That's right.
You get to enjoy Korean beef with the family.
It's a gift to the family we visit?
- That's right. - We can enjoy it together.
You can't go empty-handed. It's Chuseok.
Until now, we only took a spoon with us.
- So it always felt like a debt. - Yes.
- But today... - This is a good idea.
But we can't tell them that we have a gift...
- when we ring the bell. - No.
You can't go like, "We brought Korean beef."
Okay then, Gyeong Gyu.
I'll team up with Ho San.
Good. Since I teamed up with Jeong Yeon last time,
I'll team up with Actress Gong.
This is the first time Dining Together had sisters.
I know.
Besides, I find grey hair difficult.
(Look who's talking.)
I feel like I have to be polite.
Then here is a drama without scripts in Nonhyeon-dong.
- Dining Together! - Dining Together!
Let's go!
Go, go!
(They start ringing doorbells at 6:00pm.)
I think it will rain...
in an hour.
- You think so? - Yes.
That's according to the weather forecast.
We might end up looking really pitiful.
We have to get invited in before it rains.
Should we go this way or that way?
(Where would they go to succeed quickly?)
Isn't it better to go this way?
Let's go there when it's not raining.
(They will ring doorbells at pretty townhouses.)
- Hello. - Hello.
Give me your phone.
Gyeong Gyu hates this.
- We don't have time for this. - He's too enthusiastic.
He's too enthusiastic.
I think it's better to shoot from here.
- This is better. - That's good.
3, 2, 1.
There you go.
- Bye. - Thank you.
(They hurry to ring doorbells before Gyeong Gyu gets mad.)
- Should we enter here? - Let's try here.
(Ho San rings the doorbell first.)
Try the third floor.
- You can explain slowly. - The third floor.
Can't you stand beside me, Ho Dong?
When?
I will stick in my face if there's a possibility.
- You should overcome it. - Nobody is in.
Nobody is in the house.
- You're next. - I tried the fourth floor.
He tried the fourth floor.
(Seung Yeon gives her first try with Gyeong Gyu's guidance.)
We will try this unit.
This is a four-story building. There is a garden...
on the rooftop,
and there's a terrace too.
Hello.
I am actress Gong Seung Yeon. Do you recognize me?
- Hello. - Well...
(Laughing)
We should do a barbecue on the fourth-floor rooftop.
We are shooting Dining Together.
- Korean beef. - They should have meat, right?
- What? - They should have meat though.
We have meat.
We brought meat.
You haven't had dinner yet, have you?
I am sorry, but I have plans for dinner.
All right.
- Okay. Thank you. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
The fourth-floor units aren't available. Should we move on?
- What? - Only third-floor units are left.
Try the third floor.
Since we have Korean beef,
only the fourth-floor units have a rooftop and a terrace.
- You are going to have a barbecue. - We need to do a barbecue...
- On a rooftop. - on a rooftop.
Should we go to another building?
- Should we move to the next one? - Or should we try the third floor?
- Then... - Try the third floor.
You can have a barbecue at home.
Right, but the smoke is going to fill up the house.
You even think about that?
I'm an actor, so...
Stop playing with words.
Just press the doorbell.
- Third floor. - He overdid it, didn't he?
He overdid it.
(He calms down and gives a second try.)
He's an actor, so he's very sensitive about smoke.
Whenever I go to a barbecue restaurant, the smoke comes to me.
And it's because you're an actor.
Nobody is in again.
(Perhaps, he will get lucky next time.)
(Seung Yeon gives another try.)
So this is how you actually do it. This is nerve-racking.
- Say hello. - Hello.
I am actress Gong Seung Yeon.
- Do you recognize me? - Yes.
I know you.
- Right. Thank you. - There you go.
We are shooting Dining Together. Did you have dinner?
I am sorry, but my mom is not home right now.
She's a young girl.
When does your mom come home?
Are you a high school student?
Yes. I am a high school student.
But you haven't eaten dinner yet, right?
- No. - Aren't you craving...
a beef barbecue?
You are not supposed to say that.
That's cheating.
- They fail. - We can't eat dinner together...
because your mom is out.
- Mom is out. - I see. Thank you.
- Thank you. - All right.
Why did you cheat?
- Why mention the beef? - No. No.
I only mentioned it because she said no.
I was trying to tease her.
(He was trying to tease her.)
- I was trying to tease her. - Since you won't dine with her?
- You teased a high school kid? - Her mom wasn't in.
So I asked her if she's ever had beef.
And she was surprised. "Beef!"
I had to tell her since she couldn't have it anyway.
Still, how can you tease a high school girl?
What if she's a high school girl?
That's something only you can do.
I had to upset her a little.
- Seung Yeon, don't copy him. - I won't.
They've got terraces. The first floor terraces...
- are nicely decorated. - They are nicely decorated.
(The 1st-floor terraces are as nicely decorated as rooftop ones.)
Rooftop is nice, but these terraces are perfect for a barbecue too.
- The 1st floor... - Let's try Units 1 and 2.
(He's determined.)
- Unit One. - But...
Ho San didn't get to talk to anyone.
- He didn't get to talk to anyone. - Exactly.
You pressed it, right?
It's making me humble.
When you stand in front of a doorbell, you become humble.
(He's humble.)
I wish I get a chance to talk.
I know. You never got to talk.
Nobody is in again.
Wait.
Excuse me. It's Seung Yeon's turn.
But nobody is in.
Was it Unit 2?
- Let's go in and have a barbecue. - Even...
the music is dramatic.
(Will they succeed?)
(Or will they fail?)
What did you say?
"Or will they fail?".
(They will fail)
(Nobody is in)
Nobody is in
It actually sounds like that.
Hello.
- Hello. - I am actress Gong Seung Yeon.
Do you happen to recognize me?
I think I do.
Really?
- Ask him what he does. - He sounds like a student.
Are you a student?
No.
He must be a young father.
Did you have dinner?
Not yet.
- You need to slow down. - Hello.
This is Chuseok Special.
- And I... - What is this?
I live in Nonhyeon-dong in Seoul.
- I see. - Me too.
Yes. You don't have to worry about not having much food.
He wants to mention the beef.
Who are you with?
I'm with my wife and my kids.
Why don't you talk to your wife about it then?
I will be a great memory for your children.
- All right. - Yes. Yes.
I will call you again in about two minutes.
- Okay. - All right. Thank you.
Can I talk about the meat now?
- You can't. - You're not supposed to mention it.
Beef. Beef. Beef. It's driving me crazy.
- He would gladly invite us in then. - Right.
- I think they are a young couple. - He's right.
I could hear children's voices.
He said "children" not "child".
- Children. - They have at least two.
It sounded like a girl.
It was the voice of a girl.
You said it will be a great memory...
for their children,
and I think that was a very clever strategy.
Exactly.
It makes them think about...
how their children would love it when they become adults.
It's all about appealing to emotion.
That was a great strategy.
When he said that, the man slightly...
- had a change of heart. - His heart...
opened.
Once we mention beef, it will open completely.
(He will open his heart to them.)
- Let's go. - I think they will succeed.
(They are confident.)
- He opened his heart to them. - Okay.
He's going to do it for his children's memory.
- Please invite us in. - I...
(Will they succeed, will they fail?)
Please come in
(All right, come in)
(They are expectant.)
Did you make a decision?
- Yes. - Can we come in?
- Hello? - Yes.
I talked to my wife.
She says it's not going to be possible.
(Oh, dear.)
She says there's nothing to eat.
But you don't have to worry about that since it's Chuseok Special.
Do you think we came here with empty hands?
(He's making it very obvious.)
We brought ribeye.
What a shame.
- What a shame. - The dogs heard him.
- "Ribeye"? - The dogs heard you.
- Okay. - All right. Thank you.
It's...
It's a mess. A mess.
That was incredible.
- I'm dizzy. - I'm dizzy too.
- Gosh. - Unit One.
It's shocking.
- When you ring the bell, - It's not easy.
people get flustered. We need to give them time to calm down.
We have to tell them it's okay.
It's shocking.
My mom said it would be hard to invite you in if you suddenly ask.
It won't work for him.
- Don't give them pressure. - This will be a great memory.
- Hello. - There you go.
Hello. I am actor Park Ho San.
- Right. - Do you happen to know me?
Do you remember the short-tongued man...
from the drama "Prison Playbook"?
Do you remember him?
Do you not remember him?
- The dog is barking. - The intercom...
- Pardon me? - The dog is barking.
The intercom is broken, so I can't see your face.
You can't see my face?
- I'll let you hear it then. - You can go to...
Have you heard of the drama "Prison Playbook"?
I haven't watched it.
- That's too bad. - Ask him if he's eaten.
Have you eaten dinner?
Yes. I have to go out soon.
You have to go outside?
- He has to hang up. - Hello.
- Are you the one we just talked to? - Yes.
- The intercom broke. - I see.
He's actor Park Ho San.
- Yes. Yes. - Hello.
Who lives next door?
They have twins.
Is someone in?
They only have twins.
(Two aggressive big dogs will bark.)
(She's calling the house Gyeong Gyu just checked.)
They have two aggressive dogs.
- Really? - Yes.
He said twins live there.
- Hello? - Hello.
I am actress Gong Seung Yeon.
Do you happen to know me?
- Yes. - Thank you.
We are shooting Dining Together.
- There's no pressure. - Talk calmly.
Have you had dinner yet?
- Ma'am. - You can really take your time.
- Yes. - I am Lee Gyeong Gyu.
- Right. - You have two dogs.
No, we don't.
You don't?
On the door, it says you have twins.
I have twins. Because of the twins, I sent the dogs away temporarily.
I see.
How old are the kids?
They are 10 months old.
- 10 months old. - They must be cute.
Have you eaten dinner yet?
We came here for Chuseok Special, you see.
- Right. - Can we have dinner together?
But we have absolutely nothing to eat at home.
You don't have to...
- It's okay. - worry about food at all.
And the house is too messy...
- because we have babies. - It doesn't matter.
Then you can clean up.
We can wait for 20 to 30 minutes.
Do you want to talk to your husband on the phone?
My husband comes home late.
It doesn't matter though.
I'm alone.
It would be even better if we do it on our own.
It'll be boring for you to eat alone.
Come on in first.
(Screaming)
- Thank you. - Thank you, ma'am.
She opened the door for you.
In Incheon... Congratulations, Gyeong Gyu.
- We'll get going. - Bye.
- Enjoy your meal. - We have to...
- Are you going to apartments? - move quickly.
- Bye. - Ho San, good luck.
- Enjoy your meal. - Good luck with your drama.
We're invited in very early.
(The gesture of delight)
(They ring a bell once again in the building.)
- Yes? - Yes?
- I think she's cleaning up. - Right. Let's wait.
- Since she has twins. - Please take your time.
- Open it, Seung Yeon. - Okay.
(While waiting, they open the Korean beef gift set.)
I think I click with you and your sister.
- Right. - It was easy with Jeong Yeon too.
(It looks heavy.)
(Surprised)
Please come in since it's hot.
- Okay. - Stay inside while I clean up.
- Can we? - Since it's too hot outside.
What is that?
I really don't have anything to eat and the house is a mess.
- It's Korean beef. - Oh, my goodness.
Thank you.
- Let me put this away. - Okay. Let's do it together.
Because I have babies...
- My goodness. - They get shy around strangers.
Are they shy? They're twins.
Hello.
(They find the cute twins.)
Hello.
- May I help you? - As I was watching my babies,
the house is so messy.
Let me help you.
(Kind Gyeong Gyu decides to help her.)
Where should I put this?
(Kind Gyeong Gyu decides to help her.)
You won't film the master bedroom, right?
Right. Let's put this in the master bedroom for now.
This is how everyone's house looks.
(Hurry up.)
(They are cleaning up.)
(All right, let's start all over again.)
- It's Korean beef. - Oh, my goodness.
Thank you.
The house is so clean that it's hard to believe they have babies.
Then enter the dinner scene of a family...
in Nonhyeon-dong where cute twins welcome them.
Ask her to watch the babies, ma'am.
Right.
(Dining Together's Hand Washing Campaign)
(Wash your hands thoroughly with soap for 30 seconds.)
Won't they be afraid of me?
Hi.
What should I do? Can I come in?
Hello.
Hi.
(They're so cute that they call for a high-pitched voice.)
Come here.
Please come here.
(Crawling)
May I hold you?
- Gosh, you're adorable. - Seung Yeon.
Play with the babies a lot, and your image will improve.
- That's why my image improved. - Is that right?
It's because I played with children a lot.
Is it okay?
- They're twins, right? - Yes.
They look so alike.
Goodness, they're looking at the camera.
- Fortunately, - You've never seen them, right?
they don't seem to fear strangers.
Right. Take a look.
- Right, that's a camera. - It's a camera.
- Wait. - Shall I hold you?
- Shall I? - Are the babies 10 months old?
- You said they're 10 months old? - Yes.
- 10-months-old twins. - Then their first birthday...
- We're preparing for it. - You must be.
- I'll say hello to the guests... - They cried.
of their first birthday party later then.
Oh, My. Thank you so much.
- I can't believe it. - Let me shoot it.
- Right. - What are their names?
- This is Seo Jun, the firstborn. - Pardon?
- Seo Jun. He's the firstborn child. - Seo Jun.
- Seo Jun. - And this is Seo Jin.
- Seo Jun and Seo Jin. - Seo Jun...
- and Seo Jin. - Seo Jin.
- They're cute. - They're twin girls, right?
- They're boys. - They're boys.
- I'm sorry. - You're the first one to think so.
- They obviously look like boys. - They do.
- Because they're so adorable, - Thank you.
I thought they were girls.
- How can they be so adorable? - They're really cute.
They're adorable to my eyes,
- but... - They're adorable indeed.
- Really? - Their eyes are...
They're handsome guys.
They resemble you, ma'am.
Don't worry about food.
I really don't have anything to eat at all.
- We brought Korean beef. - Is this amazing, babies?
- Goodness. - For Chuseok Special.
They why don't we grill it outside?
We can grill it either outside or in here.
- You can suit yourself. - Really?
- Shall we set it up outside? - Yes.
- On the terrace? - Yes, on the terrace.
(They keep exclaiming.)
This terrace is amazing.
I know. This is great.
- The terrace is incredibly good. - Gosh.
Vehicles are running fast over there.
Yes, and it has an open view...
though this is the first floor.
- We're on the first floor. - I know.
Although this is the first floor.
(It still has a refreshing, open view.)
- We can see the sea even here. - Is that neighborhood...
Baegot? That is Baegot.
We did our show in that town too.
(They can see all the Baegot New Town from there.)
That is a brand new town.
It'll be great to introduce this house.
- Isn't that right? - Yes, it's so nice.
You must be hungry. Let me help you.
Today, it's Korean beef.
For the mother who got exhausted while taking care of the babies,
Gyeong Gyu takes the lead to set the table.
(Groaning)
(He brings out heavy highchairs too.)
I have store-bought seolleongtang. Do you want that too?
That sounds good.
What should I do?
It's unbelievable.
She was not prepared for this,
but she takes out whatever food she has.
(Food in the fridge is taken out.)
Instant seolleongtang, kimchi,
the stew she made yesterday, and so on.
Dishes they can eat with the meat are added.
(The dinner is getting abundant.)
Is your husband joining us?
No, his office is...
- in Seoul. - Is it?
He works for a financial firm,
- so he comes home late every day. - He comes home late.
I almost have to take care of my babies alone.
- Pardon? - I have to do it all alone.
I feel like I may die at this rate.
(I feel like I may die at this rate.)
It's so tormenting.
(That's what she feels inside.)
It is really tormenting.
It is no joke to take care of the twins.
She spoke her true feelings.
- It's so tormenting. - She feels like she may die.
- You're watching the babies now, - Yes.
- and she'll be so thankful to you. - Right?
Otherwise, it's even hard to prepare for dinner.
- I can hardly have dinner. - Probably.
I give them baby food,
- but I can hardly eat. - Right?
You can't even clean up...
- the house. - Exactly.
But you collected many pretty cups and dishes.
I love collecting them,
cooking,
and decorating a house,
- But you can't do it? - but I crumbled now.
I totally crumbled.
- Everything crumbled? - What do those things mean?
- I crumbled. - "What do those things mean?"
What about cultural life?
"Cultural life"? What on earth is that?
There is nothing like that in my life now.
You said everything in that one sentence.
"I feel like I'm dying at this rate."
- It's so tiring. - It is, right?
I think every mom will relate to me.
- Actress Gong, - Yes?
you're doing a really good job today.
But they don't fear strangers...
- and are fine, so... - They normally fear strangers,
- but because you're beautiful... - Sure,
- that's why. - Is that so?
Thank you.
(The twins find the camera fascinating.)
It's dirty.
Let me put this on here.
(She moves the camera so they won't get hurt.)
(What is this?)
You find it fascinating.
(Both of them approach the camera.)
Let's play with me.
They're so cute.
(We're going to play with the camera.)
You're excited.
You're so excited.
(Meek and mild)
While the beautiful auntie plays with the babies,
the mother prepares their baby food.
- Did you already make it? - Yes.
I make it every other day.
- Baby food? - Yes. With a pressure cooker.
What ingredients are in here?
There are more than 10 ingredients in here.
(His jaw drops.)
- Broccoli, beef, - Beef.
rice, spinach.
And mushrooms are good for your immune system,
so I added 4 to 5 kinds of mushrooms.
Look at this.
(The babies start to cry.)
(Laughing)
They started to fight.
- You look tired. - Yes.
You seem to be tired.
(Today's table Gyeong Gyu set in earnest)
Please eat this meat...
with your husband at night after we leave.
(All they should do is eat the Korean beef now.)
Oh, my goodness. I can't believe it.
Pardon?
This is unbelievable.
- All right, ma'am. - Yes?
Let me take a few photos today.
Let me take a picture of the beef first.
(The beef first...)
Okay.
(and the grill)
Okay.
Dining Together in Nonhyeon-dong...
with the lovely twins.
Okay.
This is a meal...
of a family with twins in Nonhyeon-dong.
She always prepared baby food for dinner,
but Korean beef the guests brought is added to the table,
so they can enjoy a barbecue party on the terrace.
Let's eat, guys.
Ready. It's Dinner Theater.
"Dinner of the Twins".
- Oh, you can't do it. - Action.
(It's been a year since Seo Jun and Seo Jin were born.)
(My Seo Jin...)
Oh, it's hot.
Is it hot?
(Our mom always...)
Hold on.
(gives us one bite each to be fair.)
(It's hot.)
Here.
Oh, it's yummy, isn't it?
Is it hot?
Seo Jun, open your mouth.
Okay, is that right? Open your mouth.
(Seo Jun is the happiest when he eats.)
Oh, it's yummy.
Oh, it's yummy, right?
(Now, it's Seo Jin's turn again.)
(He bursts out laughing for real.)
Starting all over again.
I can see how hard it is just by watching it.
- Gosh. - She has to take turns.
She must be so tired.
- Goodness. - It's yummy.
- It's yummy, right? - It's yummy, isn't it?
You do this every single day, three times a day?
- She can't even eat. - Seo Jin.
- Don't make me shout at you. - Don't make her shout.
She's holding herself back because she's on TV.
(Conscious of the cameras)
(Laughing)
- I feel bad. - This is monumental.
Cut. We'll give you a hand. You should eat.
(Dining Together Movie is over, they'll help her now.)
Okay.
Should we eat?
Seo Jin.
Can you... It's a bit hot. Please blow on it.
(Seo Jin turns around to refuse to eat.)
Man, there's no use in bringing meat here.
(I'm so hungry.)
- Seo Jin. - They never stay still.
Hey, open your mouth.
(Screaming!)
He doesn't want to eat.
This is why mothers are great.
Mothers are great.
Does your husband help out a lot?
- He's way too busy. - Exactly.
He helps out a lot on the weekends.
But the weekdays.
During the weekdays,
he can't really help out even though he wants to.
The circumstances are too hectic.
How many meals does he eat at home in a day?
At home? He barely eats at home.
- What about breakfast? - I pack him a breakfast box.
- You pack food for him? - Yes.
I felt so bad for him.
Why?
(Why do you feel bad for him?)
Because he doesn't have enough time to eat breakfast...
before he goes out to work, so I felt bad.
I try to make sure he eats.
(She always packs breakfast for her husband.)
Let's finish feeding this to them.
(We'll look after you today!)
Seo Jin. Come on, Seo Jin.
(No way.)
(No!)
Okay, fine.
Come on, open your mouth.
(It seems like he might eat.)
Dining Together!
Open your mouth!
(After a while)
Let's go.
We're all done.
(The babies finished eating!)
Goodness, it's so cool.
(The twins return inside!)
It's so cool.
- It's cool here. - It's so cool.
You should wipe off your sweat.
(After the childcare experience)
(Spacing out)
Look at them.
They got quiet after eating.
(They found peace after they ate.)
- Go in! - Go in?
(Appearing)
Goodbye.
(The babysitters go in.)
Let's eat.
She's storing...
leftover meat for the upcoming holidays.
This is a lot.
Gyeong Gyu begins to grill meat.
(He quietly grills meat and...)
It's really tough to raise kids.
I can see the pain of bringing up twins.
People have to know what it's like before urging them to have kids.
They should know it's tough and study beforehand.
That's how they can know how rewarding it is.
Isn't that so?
Okay, let the adults eat now.
- Take a seat. - Sure.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.
You opened the door for us and let us have dinner happily.
Is it raining?
- Wait. - Not yet?
I can feel the raindrops.
- Let's eat quickly. - You're right.
Thank you for the food.
It's not raining.
(It's not raining. Who cares if it rains when we're having beef?)
I can bring out the awning.
They're doing it.
If we bring out the awning,
we can move a little to the side...
- to keep eating. - Really? Please do that.
- I'll do that. - Okay.
The meat is great.
(Bravo, awning!)
(What is this moving barbecue?)
(This time, we'll really eat!)
- Eat up. - Okay.
- You should eat too. - It's getting burnt.
(He volunteers to grill meat.)
- Thank you. I'm making you cook. - Sure.
- No, it's on us today. - Yes.
(Moving the meat to Ms. Hong's side)
- Eat a lot today. - Eat a lot.
I never got to have dinner.
- Right? - Yes.
- You're grilling meat for me. - We have a great system.
(Dining Together's childcare system 101)
At first, we take care of them.
Then our writers look after them.
We're training to do this.
They're working hard.
Don't worry about a thing.
Think that you're at a restaurant.
- Thank you. - Restaurant Dining Together.
You can enjoy your dinner.
- It's good, isn't it? - Yes.
You got us...
- really good meat. - It's great.
It's Korean beef.
(It goes without saying.)
(Yes, this is Korean beef!)
Seung Yeon found out how tough it is to look after kids.
(Eyes widened)
She showed a huge smile after taking a bite of grilled meat...
which helped her forget all of her fatigue.
(She finished eating a bowl of rice.)
Gyeong Gyu is busy grilling meat...
to help Ms. Hong eat dinner in peace.
But he eats, then grills.
He eats, then grills.
He realizes how precious a meal is.
Ms. Hong gets to enjoy dinner in peace...
instead of looking after her two children by herself.
(Instead of babysitting alone, she gets to eat comfortably.)
How long has it been since you moved here?
About a year now.
- A year. - We moved in during August.
Is your family the first to move into this house?
Yes.
Where did you live before?
- In Cheongra. - What?
Cheongra? You lived there?
- You were there once. - Yes, I was there.
I heard you had lobster there.
Hey, you remember.
So that place became quite famous,
and many people go there.
- Really? - Yes.
We lived in an apartment with a terrace there too,
but it was on the fourth floor. We thought it could get dangerous.
But we loved the apartment with a terrace so much,
so we looked for a place on the first floor and moved in.
Have you ever wondered...
if we'll stop by your house...
as you watched Dining Together?
- I have. Once. - Did you...
Did you say you wouldn't open the door for us?
My husband asked, "What if Dining Together comes..."
"when our house looks like this?"
I said, "I'm not opening that door."
- In this situation? - "It'll be humiliating."
But houses with young kids all look like this.
Isn't her place pretty neat though?
It is.
Did you work before you became a full-time mom?
I did. I worked for a company,
then I wanted to run an online shopping mall,
and as I was operating it, I was pregnant with a baby.
But I didn't take good care of my health...
and lived a busy life,
so my baby left me.
Ever since that time...
I never thought of having a baby,
but since that time, I desperately wanted to have a baby, so I quit...
and started to go to infertility clinics...
- to have a baby. It wasn't easy. - Really?
- I had them after six years. - Really?
I always got jealous whenever I saw pregnant women.
I even cried.
- Why don't I... - Have a child?
And my child left me even after they came.
Why can't I do it? Other people get pregnant easily.
And everyone around me began to get pregnant.
Some got pregnant although she didn't want a kid.
When you go to the hospital,
what's the term you use?
Well, at first,
- you take medicine. Hormonal drugs. - Yes.
It's to induce ovulation.
Then women can ovulate more for a better chance of pregnancy.
That's what you begin with,
then you go into procedures, artificial insemination,
- and to test tubes. - Right.
But I didn't go that far.
I just took the medicine.
I was too scared. I was scared of the procedures.
I couldn't do it.
I just turned around and walked out.
Then I signed up for swimming classes,
then signed up for an academy because I wanted to study.
I signed up for everything...
and figured that I'm not someone who can have a child.
But that's when they came to me.
They came when I gave up.
- It was meant to be. - Yes.
Yes, they are completely meant to be with me.
How did you feel when you got pregnant?
It was great.
Well, I bought...
around 100 pregnancy tests at home.
- Did you check every single day? - Every single day.
I waited for the morning to do the test.
I left them in my restroom...
because it has to be tested with the first urine.
- Are you talking about the lines? - Yes.
Sometimes there are two lines that only I can see.
- You can see it if you try hard. - You're right.
I told my husband to look at the two lines,
then he doesn't believe me.
He said it's 1, but it showed actually 2 lines.
So I gave birth to them and am raising them right now,
but it's too tough.
(It's too tough.)
That's a twist.
What a twist.
What's the biggest difference?
Before and after when you had your children.
My life changed ever since I gave birth to them.
It completely changes.
My life before them is like my past life.
It's completely different.
Before we had them, my husband and I...
did just about everything we wanted to do.
- We did everything we want. - I see.
And we tend to spend a lot,
so we just bought whatever we wanted.
But there is this difference.
We don't do this reluctantly. We do things for them...
because we want to.
That's why we do everything for them.
Instead of doing something for myself,
like eating good food and enjoying myself elsewhere,
I'm happier to do things for them.
(The twins make her happier than spending money on herself.)
We should give up on the townhouse district,
and let's go over there to the multi-use buildings.
Are we going there?
- Let's go over there. - I see.
We have to go over there.
That's very tall.
Should we... Which one should we ring first?
Do whatever you want, Ho San.
Do you know which floor is the top floor?
If it's the 50th floor, would it be Unit 5001?
- Yes, you're right. - Right?
Here I go.
That's it.
- "It's the wrong room number." - There must be no 50th floor.
- Let's go with the 40th floor. - 40...
"It's the wrong room number."
- Then I have no idea. - Then...
(He's struggling by himself.)
4101.
It's driving me crazy.
What could it be?
I can't even see the top.
Look here.
(It's very tall.)
How could they build such a tall building? It's fascinating.
(That must mean there are many houses in here.)
I got it.
(He succeeds at calling someone.)
This is the hardest part.
(Sweating)
We can't seem to meet anyone.
- Hello. - Hello?
Hello, I'm Actor Park Ho San.
Do you know who I am?
Yes, I do.
Ask her how she knows you.
We're doing...
a Chuseok special.
We're shooting a program at the moment.
Dining Together?
- You know. Have you seen it before? - She got it right.
I'm watching a re-run of it right now.
- Right now? - Right now?
You're watching it?
Let me call my husband first.
- Sure. - Sure.
It's not difficult to make memories.
We'll be the ones talking.
- You can be at ease. - Yes, I know.
Please ring again after five minutes, please.
- Okay, we'll be waiting. - Thank you.
Let's make great memories today.
(They're hopeful.)
- This way. - Look at how sweaty I am.
Let's go this way.
(They go out to get some air.)
I know it's my character's concept,
but I really do love trees.
I learned something last week.
- What? - When you tickle trees,
the flowers move because they're ticklish.
I saw it.
- I'm serious. - It must've been the wind.
We can't confirm that right now since it's windy.
If you tickle this...
(Tickling)
Look.
- Do you see them moving? - Let go.
- What? - Let go.
They're still moving.
Yes, but... They're...
Is it the aftermath?
Are you interested in acting, young man?
- Maybe it was windy last week. - I'm sure it was.
This is the famous waters off the coast of Incheon.
Do you know what the antonym of that is?
In the coast of Incheon?
(He responds exactly the same way Ho San did.)
Oh, is it the coast Outcheon?
(Laughing)
I love this.
What's the antonym of a presidential election?
- What? - Presidential standing.
Goodness.
We're so old.
We're middle-aged men.
(They avoid looking at each other.)
(After spending some time outside, they ring the doorbell once more.)
Hello, ma'am. It's Park Ho San once again.
Have you called him?
- I'll open the door. - Sorry?
Have you talked to your husband?
He's currently working out.
The word "family" refers to people who eat together, you know.
Right.
Will you invite Park Ho San and me in and become our family today?
Okay.
(They succeed.)
(Dancing)
We can wait as much as you need.
But shouldn't your husband come home first?
- It's okay. - Right?
Now, the air feels different. I'm loving the breeze.
(Gleefully, they enter the apartment.)
Let's go.
(Trudging)
Ho Dong, that's the wrong house. It's over here.
Look at this space.
There are only two houses here. It's great.
We have a clear view. Do you see that?
- Yes. - I like this part too.
I know.
There are two houses per floor.
Right. Look at that space.
- Cyclists can park there. - They opened the door.
- Hello. - Hello.
(Greeting)
- Thank you for allowing us in. - Thank you.
(Park Mi Sook, 57 years old)
Ma'am, you see,
this is a Chuseok special.
So the staff has prepared Korean beef for you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
It's heavy. Let me carry it.
Her house is decorated with classy chandeliers...
and marbles.
They enter this home in Nonhyeon-dong at dinnertime.
This is the highest floor, right?
(Ho Dong and Ho San enter the house at 6:40pm.)
- I'll put this in the kitchen. - You really were watching our show.
Yes, I can't watch it at the original time,
- so I'm watching a re-run. - I see.
Re-runs, I see.
I make sure to watch it every week.
This was when we went to Geumho-dong.
I saw the episode where you went to Baegot.
And I thought to myself,
"I'd love to welcome them into my house."
I see. Baegot is over there.
It's right across from here.
When we filmed on that day, we were facing Nonhyeon-dong.
- But today, we've succeeded... - We're on this side.
(Baegot New Town, Ho Dong's current location)
and are facing Baegot.
Who lives in this house?
My husband, I, and our youngest son.
Our eldest son got married and moved out.
Where is your husband?
- There's a driving range nearby. - Right.
I think he just finished and is taking a shower.
- That's why he didn't pick up. - I see.
Is this you?
- Yes. - Judging from this photo,
I bet you got the Life Best Score.
This looks like a swing done by a 70s.
- Right. - Am I right?
You're 70 years old?
No.
(Startled)
I don't know golf.
What is a swing done by a 70s?
- It's a score. - It's a score.
You scored 70 points?
- She's not in her 70s. - I thought so.
What's your highest score?
Even Par with 72 strokes.
(Amazed)
Those must be all the trophies she's received.
I've been playing golf for 20 years now.
- 20 years? - Yes.
A few days ago, my husband hit...
a 4-under par. 68 strokes.
Is that good?
He's pretty much an athlete.
He made fewer strokes than the standard.
He's pretty much a professional.
He was just lucky.
(It's still amazing.)
You two must love golfing.
(They have both the talent and passion for golf.)
There are medals too.
- Ma'am. - Yes?
The view must be different for every season.
You're right.
During springtime,
- everything is green. - Right.
But before Baegot New Town was there,
it was completely blue.
- Because of the sea and nature? - Yes.
But after Baegot New Town was built,
- the night view was dazzling. - The night view?
- You mean from here? - Yes.
The view must've been great all the time.
The seagulls...
fly right in front of us next to the window.
- Is this where the birds fly by? - Yes.
Isn't that a seagull?
- The one over there. - Yes.
(Were you looking for me?)
It's coming toward your house.
Come here and see.
(This is what the seagull has filmed.)
This is a magnificent view.
I hear something boiling.
- You do? Oh, no. - What is it?
- Oh, no. - Something is boiling.
I was making soup.
(She adjusts the stove.)
Is that your gym?
Yes.
Those who love to work out would be totally jealous to see this.
This is great.
- Look. - Director! Come here right now!
Hurry up!
- It just came out. - Yes.
The sun looks like it's sticking out its tongue.
(This is the sunset over the Yellow Sea.)
- Hello. - It's nice to meet you.
- Hello. - Hello.
I heard you hit an under par recently.
I can feel his energy.
I could feel my opponent's energy when I played ssireum,
- and his energy is similar. - When you grabbed the thigh band?
(He is charismatic.)
With her 70-score swing,
she thoroughly gets rid of the water from the lettuce.
She takes out various side dishes from her fridge...
and prepares to serve them.
(Stir-fried, dry calamari)
(Pickled cucumber)
(Seasoned eggplant)
After all the appetizing side dishes are placed on the dishes,
the main dish appears.
(One fish)
(Two fish)
She takes out the fish from the plastic bag...
and lines them up in the frying pan.
(The pan is full.)
(It's nice and warm.)
How long have you lived here?
- Let's see. - This is our eighth year.
- Eighth year? - I see.
That means you moved here quite early.
- Yes. - We were the first residents.
- After this apartment was built? - Yes.
Where did you live before?
In Dongchun-dong.
That's also in Incheon. Were you born and raised here?
- No, I'm from Gimpo. - I see.
May I ask what your profession is?
- I'm running a company. - He can sit in the middle.
Which field is it?
Semiconductors.
- Semiconductors? - Yes.
Instead of developing products ourselves,
we receive semiconductors from large companies,
turn them into products, and then deliver them.
So you receive, process,
- and give them back. - Right.
- So you're in the middle. - Right.
That's right.
But due to the issues with Japan at the moment,
they have refused to export their materials.
Has it affected your field?
I'm not sure, but I'm sure the large companies are prepared.
- It can be overcome, right? - Yes.
I'm sure all large companies have already taken measures.
They must be prepared.
Good luck.
(Thank you.)
Ma'am, let me help you.
(Dining Together's Hand Washing Campaign)
(Wash your hands thoroughly with soap for 30 seconds.)
- Let me bring out the side dishes. - Please do.
The pickled cucumber looks really good.
My mouth watered as soon as I saw it.
While Mullae-dong's Genius is setting the table...
and being an exemplary dinner mate,
the fish are transformed into a perfect dish to go with rice.
(Sizzling)
Galbitang with bones too big...
for the bowl is served too.
(It's a generous amount.)
- Ho San. - Yes.
(Thinking carefully)
What do we do with our beef?
- Should we just give it as a gift? - Let's just... Yes.
We should just eat what she prepares for us.
It would be more meaningful if we eat...
- what they usually eat. - Right.
Sir.
Usually when we visit a home,
- we only take a spoon with us. - Right.
- But today is Chuseok Special. - Is it?
The crew got you Korean beef.
(They didn't have to.)
This must be more expensive than the food we are feeding you.
(Reveal the beef.)
(My goodness.)
(He's very happy.)
I will grill some.
- No. No. - No. No.
You should keep it in the fridge.
You should invite your family...
- and have it on Chuseok. - But still...
- I want you to have it too. - No. No.
Personally, I love the tendon.
Really? I like eating this part.
I am just saying I like it.
- You sound pitiful. - No.
(Staring)
It's so pretty.
(They decide to treasure what she prepared for them.)
Do we have any good food for them?
- This is more than enough. - I...
- I don't know what to give them. - This is enough.
- I think... - We can eat now.
it's better than...
not getting a meal at all.
- Better than a convenience store. - Right.
I am really grateful.
I didn't want you to do that,
so I invited you in.
It's not much, but please understand.
I am really grateful.
Getting invited in is something.
We are going to have a delicious meal...
in Nonhyeon-dong.
This meal was prepared by an avid viewer...
of Dining Together.
She took out everything in the house and fixed this meal.
It's a Chuseok Special meal...
with plenty of food and love.
(It's a Chuseok Special meal with plenty of food and love.)
Dinner Theater. Ready.
(Ready)
- Action. - Is it just us?
Yes. Pretend we're not here.
- Let's eat. - Okay.
You managed to prepare a lot of food.
- I was worried. - Fortunately, we had all of these.
- Did you practice hard today? - Yes.
Did you hit the ball well?
It's the same every day.
I see.
- Let's eat. - Let's do that.
Cut. That's it.
Enjoy.
Thank you for the food.
- What kind of fish is this? - Large-eyed herring.
The one we mention to describe a narrow-minded person?
- Yes. - Where did that come from?
- It means you are petty. - It has...
a really small gut.
- It's got a small gut for fish. - Yes. It's got a small gut.
Is that why we use it to describe someone petty?
- Right. - Right.
I will try it.
- You can debone it too. - Yes.
- You can eat the bones too. - The bones...
are nice and soft.
Yes.
(Let me try it too.)
Trust me and just eat the whole thing.
It's better than you think.
I didn't debone it.
When you chew it well...
and eat it with rice, it's really delicious.
It's really good.
My goodness, I never knew large-eyed herring tasted so good.
You didn't know?
I've never...
had a grilled large-eyed herring before.
Everything is so good.
Did you buy this at Sorae Port?
It's from someone I know.
When it's in season, I get a crate of it.
Did you place a special order because you wanted it?
Yes.
How about this? Where is this pickled cucumber from?
It's from my close friend...
- who lives in Building 906. - Right.
Every year, she pickles cucumbers.
I seasoned it though.
- You seasoned it. - Yes.
It's really good.
It's been making my mouth water.
This radish kimchi tastes really great.
(Laughing)
She must've gotten it from someone.
- It's from... - Did you get it from someone?
another close friend of mine.
- Your close friend. - Yes.
Because we are here,
we get to taste all the good food from various people.
- Right. - If we went to another house,
we would only get to eat their food.
I cooked this.
He is in the processing industry,
and she's in the processing industry as well.
The dried shredded squid is the only thing I didn't ask about,
and this is the only thing she cooked.
- She's been waiting. - She wondered why you weren't...
- She's been waiting. - asking about it.
Nobody tried it.
So she was thinking, "Someone should try the squid."
We asked about the soybean paste, but we didn't ask about this.
(It's hot.)
My son got married,
so I cook side dishes for them.
- Right. - I can't do their housework,
but I sometimes cook for them.
Of course. This large-eyed herring is...
I can understand why he would place a special order to have this.
(He put one whole fish on rice.)
You have to eat a whole fish as if you're putting on a performance.
It's a large-eyed herring wrap.
(It disappears into his mouth.)
Ho Dong learned about the new world of large-eyed herring.
He makes sure not to miss out on any of the madam's friends' dishes.
[VIU Ver] jTBC E142 'Let's Eat Dinner Together' "Dining Playbook" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Ho San, who dreamt of eating Korean beef...
is deeply moved by...
the unexpected yet great flavor combination of...
pickled cucumber and galbitang.
(The pickled cucumber and galbitang go together fantastically.)
(Only the bones are left.)
Thanks to the sir who introduced them to large-eyed herring...
and the madam who prepared this great meal,
they get to enjoy a meal as lavish as a holiday feast.
(It's dinner as lavish as a holiday feast.)
I think she's a great cook.
She doesn't cook often, but when she cooks, she cooks well. Right?
- Yes. - Right?
In the past, I was a really dedicated housewife,
so I cooked a lot.
But now, I want to slack a little.
Right.
You worked very hard...
- for 30 years... - Right.
as a housewife.
One son is married,
and another one is working.
She doesn't have to work so hard now.
Everyone must eat outside.
In the past,
my husband brought his friends home.
And they played all night.
They even stayed for breakfast.
- He did that? - Yes.
Yes. He brought his staffs and fed them.
Back then, was it a common thing to do?
- Yes. - You...
It wasn't common.
He overdid it a little.
So we always had...
I guess I made good fish stew.
- Right. - He must've thought so.
We always had ingredients stocked up for fish stew.
You never knew when you were going to have guests.
I guess it doesn't taste as good now.
(Laughing)
Does he not bring any guests now?
He doesn't bring them anymore.
He would get yelled at if he does.
(He has to be careful now.)
Actually, if you think about it, we came...
We came unannounced.
We've got nothing to say.
If I hadn't been a viewer of Dining Together,
Right.
I might not have invited you in.
But I felt bad seeing you fail.
Right. If we came much earlier, we could've had fish stew.
(That's a shame.)
- Right. - Perhaps you invited us in...
by mistake because you got flustered.
(The madam's experience of entertaining guests enabled it.)
Meanwhile, the Korean beef party is still going strong.
What do you think, Seung Yeon?
How does it feel when you see babies?
But you are still too young to marry.
- Me? If I meet the one, - Yes.
I want to marry early.
- Really? - Yes.
But I am not confident to become a mother yet.
But I think it's better to have a baby...
- as soon as you can. - Really?
I kept delaying it,
and I had a baby at the age of 37.
- I had the baby last year. - Right.
- But... - She looks really young.
You should have one...
- as soon as you can. Really. - Really?
It really ruins the woman's body.
I think it does. I don't have enough energy.
How old were you when you got married?
I was 32.
- You got married late. - Yes.
My husband is a year younger than me.
He's younger?
He's younger, but it's as if he's older.
He looks older.
(Oh, dear.)
Is it okay if it goes on TV?
- What's wrong? - Everyone knows.
- Everyone knows? - Yes.
- Are you a year apart? - Yes. We are a year apart.
We met while doing a part-time job.
Where?
At a pub.
- A pub. - When I was in college,
- I was working at a pub. - At a pub in front of our school.
You must've dated for a long time then.
No, we stayed friends for about eight years.
We became very close later.
We were friends at first,
but later we became husband and wife.
(They started calling each other differently.)
You were friends at first.
How was his first impression?
You said it was bad.
His first impression?
I thought his head was big.
His head is big.
Our first child took after him, and it worries me.
(Please grow well.)
How did you go from friends to lovers?
We were both in a relationship.
What's going on?
She's so fearless.
She's honest.
We were both about to break up.
You were both about to break up.
We were talking to each other about it.
- And... - That's what happens.
While talking about it, you cry and...
Who fell in love first?
It was me.
I loved him too much.
Did you ask him to talk about your breakup?
Of course.
Whenever we talked, I didn't hang up. He put up with everything.
So I told him first.
"What do you think about me? I like you."
(The confession of a brave woman)
I was the one who wanted to get married as soon as possible.
I didn't want to lose him because I loved him so much.
(Amazed)
Your heart hasn't changed, right?
Yes, it has changed.
That love is shared with the babies now.
But I still love him, and that's why I pack food for him every day.
She's cool.
- She's cool and charismatic. - That's how we got married.
Your husband knows that you're having a hard time,
- Yes. - right?
It'll be obvious as if he were watching the shadow.
- As he watches surveillance... - I'm sorry.
I should've said video footage instead of shadow.
He watches the surveillance camera footage every day at work.
He watches how we are doing.
Are there surveillance cameras in this house?
Yes, they're everywhere.
- They're connected to a cell phone. - He's probably watching this too.
- Really? - Probably.
Seriously?
A security company is connected to the surveillance cameras...
- installed. - Where are they?
- There is one over there, - Hello.
one over here, and another in the balcony.
- There are things like that. - And one in the entryway too.
Is he watching this now?
Because we have babies,
- we can't help but install them. - Right.
How long has it been since you last chitchatted while eating?
I can hardly do that.
- Right? - I just take care of my babies,
wash them, feed them, and put them to sleep.
After that, I go to sleep, and that's all.
(She skips a meal so often.)
But I still feel happy...
- because they're healthy. - Right.
- But earlier, - Though I feel tired.
she said she'd feel like she may die because it was so tiring.
- I'm both tired and happy. - You feel both.
But all you can talk to is your children.
I guess you cried often.
Right. Whenever people come here,
- they say this is a nice place. - Yes.
(Sighing)
But I would look at the view while holding my baby...
- and cry a lot. - Why?
Because it's so tiring.
I can't get a wink of sleep.
Not even for an hour, a minute, or 10 minutes...
- so far. - Carrying both babies?
- When one of them lies down... - When I lay one of them down,
I have to feed and wash the other and change his clothes...
all night.
So it was hard.
Those who were the most helpful to me were other moms.
Especially moms of twins.
- We saw other twins on the way. - We can relate to each other.
Sometimes we suffer, and sometimes we feel happy.
And that repeats.
If someone else is struggling while I'm okay,
- I can comfort her, - Each other.
and vice versa.
What was the most helpful when you talked with other moms?
Especially when you raise twins,
items are very important.
- What does that mean? - For example...
- It means equipment is important. - Exactly, equipment.
Equipment is so important when you raise children.
Each of them weighs 11kg.
Both are heavy.
So it's really hard to wash them.
Then you can use a baby bidet to wash them comfortably.
Or you can use a bath stand...
to wash them in a comfortable position.
Equipment...
Equipment is also important when you fish.
It makes you more comfortable.
- More comfortable. - It's similar to that.
So it is important.
And also,
as we're humans too, when it's too tiring,
we get angry with our babies.
- We yell at our babies, "Stop it!" - That's possible.
- After that, we feel so sorry... - You feel sorry.
and guilty. I think...
it hurts not only the babies' feelings but also the moms'.
- You get to think so. - "My words and actions..."
"like this must have shocked..."
"the babies so much."
Right.
So when I see myself doing that,
I get to feel hurt because of myself.
- Because of yourself? - Yes.
And that scar lasts for a long time.
So we say to each other, "It's okay. We're humans too."
"Our babies will understand later. I do that too."
"It's not a big deal." We say something like that.
(The moms comfort each other.)
She undergoes trial and error while raising babies for the first time,
and the mother grows up along with her children.
(The mother grows up and learns more with her children.)
I think he didn't recognize who you are.
You don't know who he is yet, right?
I don't.
I watch TV often at home,
so I can recognize him, but he doesn't.
He's a popular star on the rise.
You should not say such things often like this.
There are reasons he can be proud of.
He has three kids.
There is a show called "High School Rapper" where students rap.
His son rapped so well on that show and created a buzz.
Is your son Haon?
No, he performed with Haon.
- He did. - They performed together?
They sang "The Little Prince" together.
And his youngest son was...
on a show called "Finding Genius" on SBS...
because he speaks English so well.
(That is great.)
Now that we bragged about his kids, why don't you brag about yours?
My son was studying for a master's degree,
but he entered his dad's company...
and is learning work there.
- He learns how to run a company? - Yes. And...
my second son tries to learn about distribution, so he began...
- from the bottom of the ladder. - I see.
He's working in the field.
- So that he can see and learn. - I feel...
so bad for him as a mom,
but my husband keeps letting him do the work.
When my children were growing up...
When my children were growing up,
I would cut them some slack, but that was rather poisonous.
When I was growing up, my family was not wealthy.
He's a self-made man.
That's why he let their sons...
I tried to be nice to my children,
but when I look back on it now,
it was something I did wrong.
- You held their hands with love, - Exactly.
- but as a result, they... - Right.
My eldest son wanted to play the guitar.
He started to play the guitar in middle school, and he was good.
Then he fell for cooking,
so he learned how to cook.
And he chose to learn about baking.
He suddenly studied about coffee with baking.
Then he quit everything all of a sudden...
and said he'd become a carpenter.
What?
This is what I think.
No matter what kind of job he has,
it's okay if he can be happy while doing it for the entire life.
There is no job that makes you starve these days.
I've seen many people who try hard happily...
in one field succeed.
So as long as he is persistent,
I thought he could succeed.
When he lands a job later,
whatever it is, he'll be a worker...
who can make coffee,
play the guitar well,
and make furniture.
- Then I think he'll be happy. - You're amazing.
If they reach out for my help because they're in trouble,
I can't ignore that,
but before they do, I'll just let them be.
(He wants to let them be.)
I think you're raising them well.
- Sorry to make you eat in a hurry. - No, don't be.
You said something very nice,
but I was too focused on eating.
(Embarrassed)
Letting your children be has a certain power.
But I almost hit the ceiling if they're still sleeping...
when they have to go to school.
- What? - It is right to wake them up...
and send them to school, but I leave them on purpose...
so they get scolded at school.
(It sounds familiar to the father of two sons.)
So they get scolded.
"If you do it again tomorrow, you'll get scolded again."
"Then you'll become a person that is always scolded."
But teachers don't scold students these days.
But they'll be conscious of other people's glares.
It's not like they don't care about others at all...
or there is no rule at all.
There are so many voluntary restraints like this...
when I raise my kids.
The allowance system was different.
There was always 50 dollars in cash under the TV.
And there was a piece of paper on the side.
They could take it after writing where they were using it.
It was okay to write that they'd buy snacks,
buy a birthday present for a friend, or go to an arcade.
I tried not to say anything as much as possible.
Everything was okay,
but lying was not allowed.
If they didn't spend the money as they said they would,
I never failed to find that out.
If they did, they were severely punished.
Then I caned them.
The best part was...
that if they had a girlfriend,
I gave them more money.
I personally gave them more money.
So they talked to me every time they had a girlfriend.
Though it was not a big amount...
If they had a girlfriend too often, you had to spend a lot of money.
My second son was incredible.
(They share the bitter feeling.)
Gosh, he was...
Sir, did you live in Gimpo for a long time?
No, I was there only until I was in middle school,
and I lived in Seoul for a while.
Then I ran a business...
(He started a business at a young age.)
but it went belly up.
- Running a business is hard. - Yes. So...
that was why I moved to Incheon.
Then where did you first meet your wife?
My friend introduced her to me.
But he showed up two hours late when we first met.
(Embarrassed)
- When you first met? - Yes.
My goodness. That is so...
It sounded like she still has that feeling...
when she was talking about that.
When she said he was late when they first met.
I bet she remembers their first meeting so clearly.
- He was two hours late. - Very clearly.
Why did you wait for him?
Because of my friend who introduced him.
But the thing is...
When someone comes too late...
(She was waiting to splash water on him.)
you'd do something like this...
because you're upset.
I wanted to do it, but I couldn't.
Did you want to throw water on his face?
It means she liked him.
I'm rather tall for my generation.
- How tall are you? - I'm 168cm.
- I see. - Even though I'm tall,
I wore high heels all the time.
So short guys wouldn't dare to look at me.
It's like "Don't even think about it."
Don't bother trying the impossible.
But when he showed up, he was quite tall.
That's why I softened up towards him.
- And what happened? - Since I waited for a long time,
I thought he should buy me dinner.
So I asked him to treat me to dinner.
After we had dinner, I asked him to drive me home.
Because it was his fault.
But after he drove me home, he just left without giving me his number.
(He has nothing to say.)
I bet it made you even more upset.
- Right. - You must've been upset.
Then he called my friend two months later.
- Two months later? - Yes.
- Not two weeks? - Right.
I went to see him just to find out why.
So you met him again in two months.
(Drinking cold water)
When she met him again in two months,
she must've had mixed feelings.
She might have hated him a little.
But once she met him, all the feelings must've been gone.
(She forgot the whole thing like magic.)
I bet they went to a bar together.
- Right? - Actually, I don't drink.
But he kept forcing me to drink.
So...
Why did you ask her to drink when she couldn't hold her liquor?
It was a little awkward and boring.
So did you two started dating that day?
(If you drink this, you'll be my girlfriend.)
I guess you could say that.
(Bottoms up!)
On Christmas Eve,
he broke up with me.
- He broke up with you? - Yes. It was snowing that day.
(A breakup on white Christmas Eve)
Did you ask him why?
Of course I did, but he didn't answer.
- He didn't answer? - No.
(It was like a bolt from the blue.)
- Why did you do that? - I'm curious. Why did you do that?
Back then, of course...
my love life was important,
but making a living was more important.
I thought I couldn't get married...
when I couldn't afford to take care of my wife.
That's why.
Come to think of it, I was too inflexible.
But he broke up with me without telling me all that.
So I came home crying.
And on Valentine's Day,
I made some chocolate...
She seems to have high standards, but...
You were a tough girl.
You even thought about throwing water on his face.
I know.
When I said I had something to tell him,
he came to see me without constraint.
You couldn't understand him at all.
- He broke up with you. - Right. But he came out.
He came out to see you when you called him.
So I met him gave him the chocolate.
(They got their love back with the chocolate on Valentine's Day.)
And we started dating again.
They corrected their love that could have gone wrong with courage.
Their love now fills the night with happiness.
(The married couple's love)
We have this Complimenting Time on our show.
I think you are well aware of that since you watched our show.
Would you go first, sir?
Firstly, she married me...
and raised our children well.
Everything has gone well since I met her. I'm grateful for that.
And she always tries to listen to me.
She's very understanding.
She exercises hard, and we have fun together sharing hobbies.
Did I say three things?
(That was quick and accurate.)
(A little disappointed)
- You didn't say an important thing. - What?
You should say I'm pretty.
(You should say I'm pretty.)
(Other husbands say that.)
You usually induce people to say it. Why aren't you doing it now?
(He has no excuse.)
I was going to say it.
- She watched this show a lot. - Maybe I watched it too much.
- Please go ahead... - Do I have to say that?
(Feeling shy)
Just look at her face and say it.
- Just do it. - I can do it if she wants it.
She's pretty.
(She's pretty.)
I'm grateful for that.
It's your turn, ma'am.
As you can see, he's handsome.
My gosh.
- You praised his good looks. - Yes.
I'm grateful that he married me.
And I'm thankful that he's always there for me.
(It's a great compliment that deserves applause.)
He's our guest today.
He should compliment his wife too.
His family must be waiting while watching the TV.
Say three good things about your wife.
- About my wife? - Yes.
Aren't you going to do that?
I will. It's just too sudden.
I want to pick out only the good ones.
First of all, my wife...
chose me.
I'm grateful for her choice.
I wasn't good enough for her back then. I was just a stage actor.
I had nothing but kids.
I'm very thankful.
Thanks to her, I can work like this.
My kids didn't have a mother,
but she's filling up the vacancy for them.
And I'd like to thank her for what will happen in the future.
Thank you for living with me until we die old.
You even thank her for the future.
You should compliment your husband.
Your husband must be watching you.
(Broadcasting compliment live in real-time)
Brace yourself, sir. Your wife will compliment you.
And she'll also complain.
(Broadcasting compliment live in real-time)
Brace yourself, sir.
Your wife will compliment you. And she'll also complain.
- Compliment him first. - My husband is...
competent in maintaining his livelihood.
That's cool.
I'm not worried about his work and social life.
I see.
He can overcome anything by himself.
- He sounds very reliable. - I'm not worried.
He is very reliable.
And he has a soft spot for me.
When I complain I'm having a hard time,
he often says, "Don't be such a crybaby."
- But he... - But he does everything for me.
He works overtime until 11pm or 12am every night,
but he does the dishes.
- He's a great guy. - That sounds very nice.
One more. What's the third thing?
He looks cool.
(Honey.)
Whatever he wears, he looks great.
- Is he tall? - Yes.
- He must be good looking. - He has a big head though.
Still, he looks good with his big head.
If you saw Ho Dong,
you would've thought your husband had a small head.
- He has a really big head. - He is good looking.
- He's asleep. - I think Seo Jin is asleep.
How did you feel today?
It was really fun. And I didn't know we'd succeed so easily.
- Right? - Yes.
I thought it would be difficult.
- So the drama... - My mom is here.
- Pardon? - My mom is here.
- Hello. - Hello.
My gosh. She's beautiful.
Your mother is beautiful as well.
What brings you here?
I was in the neighborhood for something.
I wish I could come sooner.
But I was too busy to come.
How old were you...
when you had your daughter?
I was 21.
You were 21?
(She's a very youthful grandma.)
You are very beautiful and young.
Thank you.
You look a lot like your mom.
Right?
You look a lot more friendly in person.
This is the good thing about behaving badly on TV.
(Lee Gyeong Gyu, an angry man with amiable looks)
Since Chuseok is coming, I didn't want to come empty-handed.
So I brought some apple juice.
Apple juice.
- Thank you. - It's heavy.
It's heavy.
Firstly, you two should...
Okay. For his first birthday party.
- You can do it sitting on here. - Okay.
- What are their names? - Seo Jun and Seo Jin.
- You should say the names. - Right.
Seo Jun and Seo Jin.
Hello, I'm Lee Gyeong Gyu of Dining Together.
Hello, I'm Actress Gong Seung Yeon.
Congratulations on Seo Jun and Seo Jin's first birthday.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Their whole family...
and all the relatives have come to celebrate their birthday.
- I hope... - Thank you.
they will grow healthy and become decent men.
Please love and support them.
Make sure to give them a lot of expensive gifts.
Please be generous.
I wonder what they'd grab during the ceremony.
Make sure to give them a big round of applause when they do.
Also, on our show...
- Introduce your drama. - Okay.
I'm on a JTBC drama that will air every Monday and Tuesday.
- Am I allowed to say this? - Yes.
"Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency"...
will premiere on September 16.
- I hope you'll enjoy it. - All right.
It's about a marriage broker during the Joseon era.
How fascinating is that? Even back then,
the marriage brokers would examine the individuals' situation...
and find out who they like.
After that, they would act as matchmakers.
I see.
I play the role of Heungseon Daewongun...
Stop!
I failed to introduce myself.
I couldn't do it.
That's fine. I talked about my drama.
- Hi. - Look here.
Look here, guys.
- Seo Jin, look over there. - Over there.
This already feels like a first birthday party.
You're right.
Look over there. We did it.
1, 2, 3.
Nonhyeon-dong!
They met the 253rd and 254th families here...
in Nonhyeon-dong, Incheon, where the coastal waters are.
I'm sorry I couldn't be there.
But nevertheless, thank you so much...
for making great memories with my family.
Happy Chuseok, everyone.
(The entire family is having a Korean beef feast.)
Thank you for the beef.
Thank you.
(Next week)
(It's like a scene from a movie.)
(They're reminded of the noir,)
("Nameless Gangster: Rules of the Time".)
(This is more thrilling than the action movie, "The Thieves".)
(It's more musical than the movie, "Bohemian Rhapsody".)
(Who are the global guests?)
(They're Kim Yo Han and Kim Woo Seok from "Produce X 101".)
(This is your first variety show.)
(This is their first appearance on a variety show.)
(Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul)
(He plays the recorder with his nostril.)
(Even foreigners recognize them.)
(Gyeong Gyu and Ho Dong practice dancing.)
(But we wish we never saw them doing this.)
(It's fun to be an idol.)
(Will Gyeong Gyu debut as an idol himself?)
(How will the residents react?)
(You're Yo Han, and he's Woo Seok.)
(I'm Kim Yo Han of X1.)
(What? No way!)
(They jump together.)
(Today is your birthday.)
(Are you the director?)
(Dining Together)
