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

- Gosh, it's our general. - Hello.

Nice to meet you all.

We must greet the general.

- I can't believe it. - Nice to meet you.

- Hello, ma'am. Goodness. - I must greet him standing up.

- Thanks to our general, - Oh, hello, ma'am.

I cried so much.

- I see. - It was when you died in battle.

- Have you? - Yes.

- I see. - I cried so much.

- Oh, I'm really enjoying the show. - Welcome.

Hello, ma'am.

(He had great chemistry with Choi Soo Jong...)

Keep our soldiers tightly in ambush.

From now on...

(He perfectly played the role of Goryeo general, Yang Kyu,)

- He's so popular. - Hello.

- Our general has revived. - Right.

He's the hottest guy in Korea as of right now.

- Right. - Right.

- Nice to meet you. - It's Actor Ji Seung Hyun.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

All of the mothers here... I've just found out through this.

They all look so young.

That's the greatest thing to hear.

- Gosh, the general... - They're all beautiful.

is great with words too.

(The general is also great with words.)

He's using his sweet-talk.

(The general can also make pleasant comments.)

Even through his previous works,

many of the viewers witnessed his great characters and acting.

But recently, he took the role of General Yang Kyu.

- He looked amazing. - He made himself known...

- through this character. - I believe you've reached...

your career high through this character.

Right. For the first time in my career of 18 years,

I received the Popularity Award and Excellence Award at once.

- Congratulations! - Congratulations!

Thank you.

I did my best to make General Yang Kyu known.

- You did a great job. - Right.

But it was General Yang Kyu that made me known.

This is what I think.

- That makes sense. - Right.

- It was the other way around. - I'm always grateful.

I was watching it at home...

- and the last scene was so intense. - Right.

I cried during that scene.

It really brought tears out of my eyes too.

His body looked like a turtle's back with all the arrows.

(General Yang Kyu wanted to save the people of Goryeo.)

I'm about to cry again.

(While trying to buy time for the prisoners of war...)

(He died standing after saving around 30,000 people.)

The way he kept standing until the end was...

In actual historical records,

it is written that he had died looking like a hedgehog...

- with all the arrows. - Right.

- I can really see what that means. - That's just amazing.

General Yang Kyu will be happy too.

- Right. - Well,

I heard the day of the last shoot...

was your birthday.

Yes, it was.

- You died on your birthday. - Right.

- Right. - It was his birthday.

My goodness.

How can you say that?

It was the day of the last shoot.

For the scene of General Yang Kyu's death,

- we wanted to have snow falling. - Right.

- It was amazing. - So we called for a snow cannon.

But during the actual scene,

- it started snowing like crazy. - It was actually snowing?

- Yes. So we all thought, - My goodness.

- That's amazing. - "General Yang Kyu..."

"has come to support us."

- We all had that in mind. - Gosh, that's touching.

- That's amazing. - Also,

as I went through death on my birthday,

the director said to me,

"General Yang Kyu has died,"

"but Ji Seung Hyun has been born again."

- He expressed it like that. - Right.

He gave you a great birthday gift.

You can't ask for a better gift than that.

Right. It was a very meaningful moment of death.

Gosh. Congratulations.

Thank you.

He's a great actor who has won the Grand Award.

You had the chance to work with Choi Soo Jong.

Right.

- I thought he would be very scary. - Right.

But he's very cute.

"Seung Hyun! You're here." He greets me brightly...

- like this. - Right.

He usually greets me like that.

But when there's a part that lacks something,

he calls me quietly to give me some advice.

Right after the scene of General Yang Kyu's death,

I got a text from him.

I called him right away and said, "Thank you."

And he went, "Well done, Seung Hyun."

I was really touched and thrilled.

I could really feel his heart.

That must've been touching.

If you learn more about Seung Hyun,

he's a very smart person.

He was an English language major from Kyung Hee University...

and he got full scholarship for all four years.

- So... - My goodness.

he went to Canada for language training...

and even trained for a teaching profession.

Gosh.

He almost became a teacher.

You deserve to be the general.

(A true general who is skilled in both literary and martial arts)

I heard you did voice acting in English...

for "Descendants of The Sun."

Really?

My goodness.

Is there a line you remember?

It's a scene where the general betrays the country...

to make money.

And I'm answering a call from that person.

Yes, sir.

So you're really betraying your own country?

It sort of went like that.

That was amazing.

- My English isn't great. - The general who speaks English.

His voice is very deep.

Right. He has a great voice too.

He will be called a general for anything he does.

Seung Hyun has a great voice, doesn't he?

- Yes. - He sounds like a voice actor.

As a treat...

for the mothers,

he prepared a song.

That's great.

Really?

As I'm delighted to meet all of you,

I will sing you a song.

- Great. - Great.

His voice really resonates.

- He's a great singer too. - Right.

- I like the way his voice rings. - Well,

he isn't really an incredible singer, but...

- Shall I sing another one? - Yes!

That will be great.

It's real

The real deal is here

For real

That was great.

(This general even has a taste for the arts.)

Please edit this out.

- Please. - We will never edit this out.

Please edit it out.

It was awesome.

Your character...

- Well... - Gosh, Ji Seung Hyun.

I work hard when I have to.

I got so surprised. He asked to sing first.

He sang "Jjiniya" for us.

It was great, but inside I was feeling...

- "What's wrong with him?" - We aren't that close.

I thought, "We have a crazy one here."

"A crazy one."

We love people like that.

- In between, - Yes?

if you feel like singing any song,

you can do as you want.

It looks like a traditional house.

Where is this?

It's a house we have never seen.

Who is it?

(Someone starts the morning of the hanok.)

- Who is it? - Who is it?

Taking pills everyday is not a simple task.

(Actor Lim Hyeon Sik, 937 months old, 79 years old)

It's Lim Hyeon Sik!

My goodness!

- It's Lim Hyeon Sik. - It's Lim Hyeon Sik!

- My goodness! - It's Lim Hyeon Sik.

He's on the show.

The oldest son has appeared.

I loved it when he called out for Hong Chun.

I'm a big fan of his.

- He's so funny. - Of course.

(An experienced actor who made his debut 55 years ago)

(His wife left him after 8 months of cancer.)

(Living alone as a senior citizen for around 20 years, Lim Hyeon Sik)

He lives alone like that after sending away his wife.

Right.

It has been around 20 years since she has passed away.

- It has been around that much. - It has been that long?

Really?
