Actor Oh Kwang-rok reunited with his son after 7 years, and together with his 92-year-old father, they came together to share their hearts and resolve their accumulated grievances, becoming closer. The father-and-son duo of actors Jang Kwang and Jang Young, which had been a legendary difficulty, also made a reappearance. They presented a 180-degree change in their demeanor from before, now understanding and respecting each other as 'model father and son'.
On the afternoon of the 24th, during the broadcast on the comprehensive channel TV CHOSUN 'Dad and I', Oh Kwang-rok headed to his 92-year-old father's home, where his mother had passed away some time ago. Previously, Oh Si-won cut off contact with his father as well as his grandparents due to 'anger' towards his father. Nine years passed, and the grandmother passed away without seeing her grandchild. After hearing the news of his grandmother's passing, Oh Si-won blamed himself and regretted it. Following this, Oh Kwang-rok was able to visit his son Oh Si-won for the first time in 7 years and then went to see his father.
The two first arrived at the columbarium where Oh Kwang-rok's mother was laid to rest, who had passed away three months earlier. Oh Si-won said, "I felt like my grandmother would still embrace me when I came to see her," expressing his longing for her. He also conveyed his apologies for not having contacted her through a letter he read aloud. In response, Oh Kwang-rok said, "My son regrets. I should have tried harder, gone more, and knocked on the door... I feel sorry for my son for losing time with his grandmother because of me."
After bidding farewell to his grandmother, the two arrived at Oh Kwang-rok's father's home. The 92-year-old grandfather could not take his eyes off his grandchild, whom he had not seen for 9 years, and Oh Si-won apologized, saying, "I'm sorry for coming late," and greeted his grandfather with a deep bow. Oh Si-won and Oh Kwang-rok prepared a meal together for their grandfather, showing their closer bond. After the meal, lying next to his grandfather, Oh Si-won revealed how he lived during the past 9 years without contact. Upon hearing that his grandchild was doing well at work, the grandfather felt relieved. Oh Si-won said, "I'll make you a suit, grandfather. You look great in a suit," playfully making his grandfather smile.
Oh Si-won also became teary-eyed upon seeing that his grandmother had saved his name as 'our puppy' in her phone. Oh Kwang-rok and Oh Si-won took out the photo album from their grandmother's house and embarked on a journey down memory lane. Looking at photos from his childhood, Oh Si-won said, "The landscapes and my expressions I see for the first time... They reflect a time I wasn't aware of. I want to remember this for a long time." He cherished his time spent with his father, adding, "I don't want to regret not seeing my grandmother again," his expression showing relief. Oh Kwang-rok expressed, "I want to become a better father and son," sharing his feelings and looking forward to the days they would spend together after the 7 years of silence.
Actor Jang Kwang and his son Jang Young, who sparked discussions in Season 1, made a reappearance. Although they weren't close since Season 1, the discomfort has dissipated between Jang Kwang and Jang Young, who embarked on their first trip together. Jang Kwang prepared a camper van, dreaming of a trip to bond with his son. Conversely, Jang Young said, "To prevent any misunderstandings, I prepared a 'written agreement'" and laid down the conditions that included 'no commanding tone' and 'no pressuring tone' during the trip. In response, Jang Kwang remarked, "Did I cause you this much worry?" while still complying with his son's conditions, and the trip began smoothly.
Also eager to experience the mudflats with his son, Jang Kwang approached Jang Young with an invitation rather than pressure when he initially showed reluctance. Seeing his father's changed demeanor, Jang Young took a step back and went clamming with Jang Kwang at the mudflats. Jang Kwang met children who were also experiencing the mudflats there, and to Jang Young, who was coming to the mudflats with his father for the first time at nearly 40 years old, he expressed, "I'm sorry for not bringing you with me more often when you were younger." The two prepared a dish for each other and shared a meaningful meal, growing closer.
As night deepened, they had an honest conversation. At one point, Jang Kwang asked, "What age do you want to get married, and what are your plans for children? You should be thinking about life goals too." Jang Young coldly replied, "It's not mandatory." He added, "Anyway, life never goes as planned... I haven't dreamt in a long time." Jang Kwang understood his son's approach to life and noted he felt sorry for Jang Young, who had spent a long time as an obscure actor. Jang Kwang persisted in discussing his son's marriage and relationships, but instead of clashing, Jang Young seamlessly countered, saying, "I need to see the written agreement first," showing his changed demeanor. Jang Young expressed gratitude towards his father for creating unforgettable memories, saying, "Since this was our first trip together, I think it will be a warm memory when I look back on it."
