Let's Eat Dinner Together (Dining Together / 한끼줍쇼)

What comes to your mind when you think of "dinner?"

Eating at my dinner table with my family at home.

Boiling bean paste stew.

Eating the boiling stew together.

I think of eating with my family.

A loving atmosphere.

Being with my parents.

Chatting with my family.

A good feeling.

I just like eating dinner.

The thing they thought of first was "family."

But the reality of today's dinners are...

I eat with my family about once or twice a week.

I think we tend to order in because a lot of people live by themselves.

- At work... - I eat with my coworkers.

I either eat by myself or just have some snacks.

I eat ramen from the convenience store.

What if someone came to your door and asked to have dinner with you?

They want me to give them food?

I think it would be weird.

I don't think I'd like it.

If they're starving,

I think I could give them food.

I think I'd tell them to come in.

I'd say no.

If I don't have rice, I can cook them ramen since I always have some around.

I won't give them food.

I want to lock my door.

But what if that someone was a celebrity?

- Jeon Ji-hyun... - Kim Sa-rang...

Suzy.

- Lee Seung-gi and Kim Soo-hyun? - I'd like Yoo Jae-seok to come.

I like Jeon Ji-hyun.

- Kang Ha-neul. - For me, BtoB.

Han Hyo-joo.

BTS.

I like Park Bo-gum.

A rabbit.

Maybe we should've just cast a rabbit instead.

Unfortunately, it's them.

Once dubbed as the nation's MC, the older brother, Lee Gyeong-gyu.

Also dubbed as the nation's MC once, the younger brother, Kang Ho-dong.

Would you become Gyeong-gyu and Ho-dong's family tonight?

A food documentary.

"Let's Eat Dinner Together."

200 years ago,

what stopped the vagabond, Kim Sat-gat, while wandering around Joseon was hunger.

Back then, people gladly shared food with someone who were starving.

200 years have passed, and the year is 2016.

Kim Sat-gat has disappeared.

The city where people don't ask about other people's food or stories anymore.

Now, what makes people open their mouths are

smartphones, anonymous message boards, SNS, fortune tellers,

and one more thing, spoons.

When, where, with whom, what, and how people eat.

They plan to go find people having dinner which may seem minor to you.

The two men, who have become city travelers, set off.

These hungry guys will ring your doorbells.

Just because they're curious about how you have dinners...

To let them hear your stories

and to let them become your family...

Would you open the door for them?

Kang Ho-dong, 47 years old.

He used to be a wrestling champion and the nation's MC.

He hasn't come out yet?

But still...

at least I won't be alone.

I have Gyeong-gyu.

Is it really a good thing?

He sounded different when he talked to the staff 2 weeks ago.

We were close for a long time, and I respect him,

but there must be a reason why I didn't do a show with him.

We don't go well together.

Gyeong-gyu makes me uncomfortable.

I'm uncomfortable about a lot of things because Gyeong-gyu is here,

but I also feel reassured.

But Gyeong-gyu is still more than just a guy he knows to Ho-dong.

I think this is the first time since I was waiting to be named the wrestling champion.

I'm best friends with Gyeong-gyu.

And we're also a teacher and a student.

I'm about to do it with him after hearing just the rumors.

I bet he'll be nice to me.

Ho-dong learned a lot of things from Gyeong-gyu.

Please don't lie to keep a secret from your each other.

If you're going to lie, give a perfect lie.

Or, you must not lie to each other ever.

Please say a word of thanks when the wedding is over.

You don't have to say it to me.

But doesn't this suit look a little old?

Although he respected him a lot during the 23 years,

he still liked to keep his distance.

Ho-dong is heading to meet his master, Gyeong-gyu.

He hasn't come out yet?

Gyeong-gyu! Let’s go film!

- Hi. - What are you doing here?

We need to go film. What do you mean?

Lee Gyeong-gyu, 57 years old.

He was once a movie director and martial arts master.

He's the godfather of variety shows

and the person who made today's Ho-dong possible.

I slept.

While waiting?

You haven't put on a mic ?

- I haven't. - You don't know what's going on?

I don't know.

You haven't even told him.

Hold on, let's do it here.

You were waiting to start shooting and got too tired so you fell asleep?

- It's not raining. - I like this better than sunny days.

I like days when I don't have to work the best.

It's all done.

Let's go.

Hold on.

We need to know where we're going. Step back a little bit.

I'm tired.

Hold on.

Where are you trying to go right now?

The show's title is "Let's Eat Dinner Together."

Right.

I think we're going somewhere to ask for food.

What are Gyeong-gyu and I supposed to do?

What's that?

What is this?

- They're spoons. - Spoons?

Why are you giving these to us?

From this moment on, with only spoons...

With only spoons in hand, use public transportation to go to Mangwondong

and ask for dinner from a regular family.

The end.

They've never encountered such a strange mission before.

Showing this to the camera is old style.

- Can I show it? - Yeah, you can. Mangwondong.

You want us to go to Mangwondong with just spoons and ask for dinner.

With only spoons in hand.

This isn't that difficult.

The producers have already cast someone.

- What? - We haven't cast anyone.

I'm a comedian, Lee Gyeong-gyu.

They soon find out that there's no such thing as casting.

Sir.

"Let's Eat Dinner Together" episode 1,

'With Absolutely Nothing.'

But this is...

Umm...

If we had a good image like Yoo Jae-seok did, they'd invite us to come in.

But you have an image of eating a lot.

So I think they'll be taken a back a little bit.

I saw your face on the monitor earlier.

It was this big.

It was too much.

The screen was full.

- It's Ho-dong! - Huh?

It's Kang Ho-dong!

Your face is really big!

They might get scared from that size.

- We ring their doorbells and... - Your face filled the screen.

- We ask them for dinner, right? - Yes.

This happened yesterday for real.

My wife liked that I came home after having dinner.

Why?

Because I ate outside.

A wife doesn't even want to cook for her husband...

- Of course! - Seriously.

Who are we to...

It's very hard for women to wake up and cook food for their husbands 365 days.

For women, the best job a husband could have is being a deep sea fishing crew.

Going out to sea and not coming home.

I feel bad being at my own home. The fact that I have to ask a stranger for food...

But...

Asking a stranger is better than someone you know.

At least strangers don't nag you when you're eating.

If you eat with strangers,

you can talk about all sorts of things and have fun.

They want us to have dinner at a stranger's house with this.

To be honest, I'm more comfortable eating at a stranger's house.

Since you're the god of variety shows,

can you predict what's going to happen from just this?

What we should do?

Eating dinner is important,

but it's to look at how people are living these days.

What kind of food they eat...

You can get a sense of today's economy and how families live.

We're looking at their lives as we eat together.

Are you familiar with Mangwondong?

Mangwondong is where...

Sungsandong is.

- You used to live in Sungsandong. - Mangwondong is right above Sungsandong.

I used to live there.

It's in your boundary?

The technical term is "my corner."

If we tell them our names, they'll for sure--

- They'll open their doors right away. - Of course.

Right?

We'll ring their doorbell and get in right away to eat.

Then yell "bye" and leave.

Then in one day, we'll...

We'll have 3 or 4 meals.

We're going to visit bunch of homes and eat.

It will be touching.

- Right? - We'll have 3 dinners.
