SBS 'When There's a Chance,' Lee Jeong-eun and Ryu Deok-hwan enjoyed their first-ever dopamine party with a thrilling two consecutive successes.
On the 13th (Tuesday), SBS 'When There's a Chance,' directed by Choi Bo-pil and written by Chae Jin-a, is a variety show that presents fortune in the brief moments of time we encounter in everyday life with its 'gap attack' concept. In the 22nd episode, two MCs Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok, along with gap friends Lee Jeong-eun and Ryu Deok-hwan, offered a day filled with laughter at Hanyang Academic High School and a lottery sales point.
Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok became excited from the unexpected connection with Lee Jeong-eun and Ryu Deok-hwan right from the start. Yoo Jae-suk revealed, "Isn't 'Heavenly Ever After' a drama directed by Kim Seok-yun? He was the chief director of the entertainment program 'Kkung Kkung Dda' I worked on with him," while Yoo Yeon-seok added, "The assistant director at that time was Shin Won-ho, who worked with me on a drama," expressing joy at the crossover world of dramas and entertainment. Lee Jeong-eun then expressed her excitement by saying, "Han Ji-min, who filmed 'Heavenly Ever After' with me, told me to definitely appear on 'When There's a Chance,'" and Yoo Jae-suk recalled the legendary gap friend Han Ji-min, saying, "Ji-min was practically possessed by the role back then," causing Lee Jeong-eun and Ryu Deok-hwan to feel tense while raising expectations for the remarkable chemistry of the tightly knit four people due to their unexpected connections.
The first 'gap owner (applicant)' the four visited was a group of high school seniors from Hanyang Academic High School. When the gap owners threw a surprise birthday party for Yoo Yeon-seok, he couldn't hide his laughter at the cute phrase, "Happy birthday, Uncle Yeon-seok." After winning two bonus coupons and bagging ample luck, the game of 'relay air game' officially began. Amid the explosive cheers of the gap owners, Lee Jeong-eun and Ryu Deok-hwan entered a state of high tension, saying, "My hands are shaking." At that moment, 'uncle' Yoo Yeon-seok showcased a perfect move after five attempts, successfully completing the first stage. As the students' excitement heated up, Lee Jeong-eun asked, "Isn't there any powder for wiping sweat here?" while Yoo Yeon-seok exclaimed, "I'm doing well! I will do well!" turning the scene into a sea of laughter. Thanks to the enthusiastic cheers from the gap owners, Yoo Jae-suk concluded dramatically with a gripping finish that made everyone sweat in the final attempt, successfully completing the second stage.
After relishing the joy of success, Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, Lee Jeong-eun, and Ryu Deok-hwan headed straight to a restaurant recommended by the students, known for its gukbap (soup with rice). Yoo Jae-suk mentioned, "My son Ji-ho has also recently been fond of gukbap," proving its popularity among the 'MZ generation.' As they sat down for their meal, thanks to the gap owners' influence, they ignited a conversation about 'titles.' Yoo Yeon-seok jokingly said, "Until a few years ago, I was called 'oppa,' but starting this year, it's 'uncle.' I've accepted it," to which Yoo Jae-suk added humorously, "I found myself more focused on the word 'uncle' than the cake the students gave me earlier." Yoo Jae-suk continued, "If you're polite to your sister, you call her 'noona,'" and Lee Jeong-eun bluntly rejected, saying, "I dislike 'noona.'" Yoo Jae-suk then quipped, "How about 'madam'?" bringing another wave of laughter. At that moment, Lee Jeong-eun generously covered not only the lunch expenses but also those of her Hanyang University juniors she met inside the restaurant, fully showcasing her charming character as a true 'daughter of Hanyang.'
The following meeting with the gap owners took place at a lottery sales point. The second gap owner couple shared their fateful love story, which began with falling in love at first sight, and how they saved the wife's life through a liver transplant, resembling a real-life 'Ae-soon and Kwan-sik' episode, which was quite touching. The game that started with one bonus coupon was 'Human Zero of Fortune.' The rule was that if one rose with a number different from what the production team shouted, they would succeed, which was a super difficult challenge. Yoo Jae-suk declared, "This is a battle of wits with producer Bo-pil," in a front-line declaration against the production team. After just three attempts, they successfully completed the first stage cleanly. However, discerning the production team's numbers was not easy. While Lee Jeong-eun rallied, shouting, "It's all about momentum!" Ryu Deok-hwan admitted humorously, "I guess I was too nervous. I now feel like crying," causing bursts of laughter. Eventually, the four initiated a 'tactical time' to pre-decide the numbers, perfectly executing the gap owners' commands, and successfully completed the thrilling second stage at the seventh attempt. The gap owner couple then playfully debated between STOP and GO, triggering amusement. Yoo Jae-suk responded to the gap owner, who shouted STOP, saying, "Today, Deok-hwan nearly lost sleep. Thank goodness!"
In this way, Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, Lee Jeong-eun, and Ryu Deok-hwan had an adrenaline-fueled day, offering packed fortune throughout Wangsimni. Notably, thanks to 'When There's a Chance,' Lee Jeong-eun and Ryu Deok-hwan experienced the thrill of their first dopamine game, completing a delightful full course of joyful laughter with their fresh synergy.
