In 'Lovers of Joseon,' Lee Kyung-sil's son Son Bo-seung prepared a surprise birthday event filled with twists for his mother, evoking emotions. On this day, 'Lovers of Joseon' recorded a rating of 4.4% (Nielsen Korea, nationwide), with a peak rating of 5.2% (Nielsen Korea, metropolitan area).
On the afternoon of 10th, the comprehensive programming channel TV Chosun's 'Lovers of Joseon' featured Lee Kyung-sil's son Son Bo-seung completing the role of 'daily designated driver' for his mother. Son Bo-seung joked, "I'm not going to charge you (the designated driving expense) because you're pretty." Lee Kyung-sil responded, refusing to take the designated driving fee, saying, "Use this money to make some today," handing him 50,000 won. After leaving the parking lot, Son Bo-seung called his sister Son Soo-a to discuss the birthday party plans for their mother.
On Lee Kyung-sil's birthday, a cold wave with a perceived temperature of minus 19 degrees Celsius raised concerns among the loving MCs. Choi Seong-guk exclaimed, "Minus 19 degrees is like the temperature of a freezer." Meanwhile, Son Bo-seung was the first to visit a flower shop to buy flowers for his mother with a cheerful face. Watching the video, Kim Gook-jin noted, "I used to not care about flowers, but since Suzy likes flowers, I started noticing flower shop signs," revealing how love changed him. In response, Hwang Bo-ra recalled her husband's favorite food, 'Gukbap restaurant,' while Kim Ji-min brought up 'e-cigarettes,' making everyone laugh.
Eventually, after buying the beloved 'baby's breath bouquet' that Lee Kyung-sil used in her wedding bouquet and adorned with a veil, Son Bo-seung headed to Cheonggyecheon, the busking location. He expressed his feelings, saying, "There's a high possibility I will go to the military this year or next, so I want to do a proper event for my mother before I go." At the same time, Son Soo-a took their mother out as planned. Kim Gook-jin showed concern for Son Soo-a's driving abilities, labeling her 'a garage license,' saying, "Is it for the thrill for your mother on her birthday?"
Later, after arriving late at the meat restaurant where he was to meet his mother Lee Kyung-sil, Son Bo-seung downed the birthday seaweed soup served by the staff in one go, earning him the discontent of the love crew. However, he pleasantly surprised everyone by transferring the seaweed soup he had made at home onto a new plate. Lee Kyung-sil was touched, saying, "This is tastier than the seaweed soup I had when I gave birth to Bo-seung."
Afterward, Son Soo-a gifted her mother her favorite 'allowance gift,' lifting Lee Kyung-sil's spirits. Taking advantage of this moment, Son Bo-seung headed towards the busking location, but a communication error resulted in the mother and daughter waiting for him indefinitely. Ultimately, after calling her younger brother to find out the busking location, Son Soo-a gave up on 'keeping it a secret' and guided her mother to Cheonggyecheon, saying, "I don't know; I think we need to walk a bit." This led to Lee Kyung-sil feeling hopeless as she passed over icy roads and stairs, causing laughter.
After much ado, Son Bo-seung successfully completed the busking by singing the classic song 'Though I Loved' by Kim Kwang-seok, which his mother had requested but he had previously declined, and 'Winter Child' by Lee Jong-yong for his mother, who was born in winter. After receiving not only the song gift but also baby's breath and a letter from her son, Lee Kyung-sil shed tears of joy, creating a warm atmosphere.
