The heartwarming and relatable entertainment program 'Dad and I' returns for season 2, reflecting on the meaning of 'family' that has been forgotten in modern society.
According to TV CHOSUN, 'Dad and I' has confirmed its first broadcast for season 2 on March 11 (Tue) at 10 p.m., and is ramping up preparations to meet viewers with a stronger lineup. This season features 'Gukmin Child Actor' Lee Geon-joo, who gained great love for the role of 'Sundori' in the drama 'Three Families Under One Roof,' but is now walking the path of a shaman, as well as Chef Lu Ching Lai, who garnered attention for showcasing the classy finesse of a 50-year 'Chinese cuisine master' in 'Black and White Chef: Culinary Class War,' and his eldest son Chef Yeomin, who is following in his father's footsteps in Chinese cuisine.
Jeon Hyun-moo, who became the 'empathy fairy' through the first season of 'Dad and I,' will again serve as the MC and 'son representative.' Jeon Hyun-moo has deep understanding of various parent-child stories as well as sincere empathy and honest reactions that heightened immersion. In particular, he shared his own experiences at times and added humor by representing the son's perspective with real fact bombardment in awkward father-son relationships. Besides Jeon Hyun-moo, 'daughter representative' Lee Seung-yeon and WJSN Soobin will join to resonate with the viewers. The identity of the special guest 'father representative' shrouded in mystery can be confirmed through the broadcast.
Meanwhile, 'Dad and I,' which first aired on December 6, 2023, aired a total of 42 episodes until October 2, 2024. The show began with Lee Seung-yeon, who has been responsible for her family's livelihood for over 30 years, revealing her biological mother and her adoptive mother, the reunion after 30 years of living together with actor Choi Min-soo's wife Kang Joo-eun and Canadian parents, the tearful reconciliation of Baek Il-seob and his daughter after seven years of separation, and the process of actor Jang Kwang and his unknown actor son Jang Young-e shedding their emotional barriers and coming together, providing touching stories that many stars revealed about their families that had previously gone unreported. Additionally, Park Se-ra, Park Si-hoo, Oh Yoo-jin, Bae Ah-hyun, Kim Byeong-ok, Seo Hyo-rim, WJSN Soobin, Ham Ik-byeong, Son Dam-bi, Ahn Hyun-mo, So Yi-hyun, Kim Bin-woo, Nam Jin, and Park Joong-hoon shared heartfelt family stories.
