Mom's Diary, My Ugly Duckling (My Little Old Boy / 미운 우리 새끼)

- Gosh. - Hello.

Hello.

- Hello, ma'am. - Oh, hi.

- Hello. - My goodness.

- Give me a hug. - Sure.

- Goodness. It's great to see you. - Nice to meet you.

You've been well, right?

- You're doing well, right? - Yes. My goodness.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Nice to meet you.

- Hello. - Hello.

Why is my liver shaking after seeing Choi Soo Jong?

- Why is my liver shaking? - Oh, my.

Hello.

- I can't breathe properly. - Hello.

- Let's shake hands. - My goodness.

- Right. - You're doing well, right?

You haven't aged a bit.

- Sorry? - You haven't aged a bit.

That's not true. You may take your seat.

My liver is shaking strangely enough.

Really?

My liver is shaking too.

I'm glad to see you all.

- We're all delighted to see you. - Right.

Korean history...

- can be learned through him. - Right.

Gojong and Sunjong were known as the last kings of Joseon.

But there was also Choi Soo Jong after them.

I heard you were in "Korea-Khitan War."

I got interested hearing that you were in that drama.

She says this when she watches a historical drama.

"Choi Soo Jong isn't in it? I won't watch it!"

It has been a competition that went on for 18 weeks.

My Little Old Boy competed with...

"Korea-Khitan War."

It has finally ended.

(Congratulations for the end of "Korea-Khitan War.")

We must clap.

But I heard...

Soo Jong was concerned about My Little Old Boy.

- It was aired at the same time. - Right.

I felt this after coming here myself.

Each mother here...

has a large army of 100,000 soldiers.

(Each mother has a large army of 100,000 soldiers.)

During the Battle of Kwiju,

we went to war with 200,000 soldiers.

- Gosh. - Here there are already...

- around 600,000 soldiers. - There are 600,000 soldiers.

(Massive army of 600,000 soldiers of the mothers)

To add to that, there's General Shin Dong Yeob...

- who has the wisdom and strategy. - My goodness.

Also, there's a war machine who is like Goliath.

General Seo Jang Hoon...

- even has the brains. - Gosh.

We couldn't go against all of you.

- That was a great comparison. - Right.

It was a tough battle.

(Even Kang Kam Chan was afraid of the My Little Old Boy army.)

For his acting in a historical drama,

Soo Jong wanted to make his voice sound husky.

He even started smoking which he has never done before...

to make that happen.

- Gosh. - My goodness.

I was Crown Prince Sado...

- for my first historical drama. - Right.

When I said my lines,

my seniors all went...

(His senior actors all laughed after hearing his lines.)

They all laughed at me even when I was the main actor.

Because of your voice.

When I talk to the king,

I have to sound serious and quite husky...

while using abdominal breathing when saying my lines.

But I had no idea how to do that.

It was my first time trying that.

After checking my seniors,

I noticed they were all smoking at that time.

They were all smoking...

and had husky voices.

- I thought smoking... - You thought that was it.

would help me get that voice.

I tried smoking on my own,

but it didn't help.

- It didn't work. - I felt lost.

But you managed to get that voice.

Later on, I learned the traditional singing method.

I also learned abdominal breathing.

I learned how to get that voice after going through the basics.

(He worked diligently for his historical drama acting.)

It's about resonating the lines.

When you say something in a loud voice...

"Listen, all officers!"

Saying something like that...

- doesn't hurt your voice. - Right.

You can say a lot of lines in a clear voice like this.

It's pleasant for others to hear as well.

That's right.

He says this a lot.

"However."

- He sounded just like him. - Gosh.

- "However." - "However."

When the soldiers are all feeling delighted...

"Great. I am happy about our victory too."

However...

- Next time, - Yes?

when you star in another big historical drama,

- you should cast Jang Hoon. - As a Khitan person?

- Right. - As a Khitan person?

Dong Yeob can be...

- someone like Cao Cao. - Cao Cao?

He can go with that kind of character.

He's a disloyal subject...

- and I'm a Khitan person. - A Khitan person.

Do you all know that...

Soo Jong has three titles as a king?

- He has 3 titles as a king. - He has 3 titles as a king?

- Three titles as a king. - Three titles as a king.

In historical dramas, he is a king that saves his country.

In variety shows, he is the king of viewer ratings.

He has another title.

I'm sure many people know about this one.

There's no other way to describe him.

- The king of his wife. - For his wife, Ha Hee Ra,

he is the king of love.

- Right. - Right.

It isn't just for his wife.

- He is a fantasy for all women. - Right.

Here are a few quotes from the lover, Choi Soo Jong.

Right.

Gosh, this one is just...

"There's a bird that cries once every thousand years."

"I will love you until that bird's tears..."

"become an ocean."

("I will love you until that bird's tears become an ocean.")

- Gosh, with those tears? - It cries every thousand years.

When asked if married couples could have fluttering hearts,

he said, "When my heart flutters even while eating with her,"

"the meal table can get flipped over."

- Really? - Gosh.

Is that true?

I get what he meant by that.

- You do, right? - Yes.

Right.

For a kiss.

A kiss would be too light.

The rest is for your imagination.

I know what it means to get tables flipped.

I feel like many husbands that are watching this...

might feel depressed.

There's still good news for them.

What is it?

Soo Jong has never proposed to his wife.

He hasn't done that.

(Big news: Choi Soo Jong has not proposed to his wife.)

Right.

I knew there would be something off about him.

Look at you!

So many men get in trouble...

and get scolded for leaving that out.

Gosh.

You missed out on a big moment.

The wife feels resentment...

- for the rest of her life for that. - Right.

We got something off him.

When the wives ever talk about Soo Jong,

the husbands can go, "He didn't propose to his wife."

"But I proposed to you!"

"Choi Soo Jong even does that for his wife."

And the husbands can go,

"However, he has not proposed to his wife."

(Oldest son, Lim Hyeon Sik, 938 months old)

It's Lim Hyeon Sik.

- He appeared last time. - It's him.

It's Lim Hyeon Sik.

- That was great. - Right.

I would go to places...

- and sing like that. - Right.

I even got paid for it.

Oh, really?

Have you worked with him before?

I have. I saw him often at the broadcasting stations...

- and greeted him whenever I did. - Right.

The way he looked before and the way he looks now...

are just the same.

He's fun to be with.

- He treats his juniors really well. - You're right.

If you have lived alone for around 20 years,

you should have the title "Single Senior Citizen."

(Single Senior Citizen Lim Hyeon Sik)

Single Senior Citizen Lim Hyeon Sik.

You should change that title to "Cohabitating Senior Citizen."

- It's a big difference. - That's right.

Cohabitating Senior Citizen Lim Hyeon Sik.

To end your single life of around 20 years,

Won Hee and I have prepared something for you.

Won Hee and I have prepared something for you.

My single life is coming to an end?

- Yes. - We're trying to make that happen.
