Kim Il Woo from 'Marriage Lessons' surprised Park Sun Young with a pearl necklace, exceeding sweetness levels.
In the 169th episode of Channel A's 'Men's Life: Marriage Lessons' aired on the 25th, Jang Woo Hyuk went down to his family home in Gumi to have a 'filial piety date' with his mother, while the 'Il Young couple' Kim Il Woo and Park Sun Young had a charming camping car date, thrilling the viewers. According to Nielsen Korea, the broadcast recorded a 2.1% viewership rating nationwide among paid broadcasting households, reflecting the intense interest of home viewers.
Jang Woo Hyuk visited an APT. complex with potted plants he raised like children and a beautiful bouquet. He embarked on a 'filial piety date' to visit his mother living in Gumi. Standing at the door, he shouted, 'Mom~', but his mother looked around the hallway and asked, 'Why did you come alone?' She continued, 'I thought you would come with the young lady you are dating. I watched 'Marriage Lessons' earlier, and I think that young lady resembles me when I was young,' referring to Son Seung Yoon. Just then, his mother's young photo was revealed, and the 'Studio Mentor Corps' exclaimed in surprise, saying, 'She really looks alike.' Jang Woo Hyuk awkwardly smiled and handed his mother an envelope filled with pocket money. His mother replied, 'I would prefer you to bring home a girlfriend (rather than money),' putting pressure on her son to marry. Jang Woo Hyuk attempted to change the subject by suggesting they go to see potential matchmakers, but even in the car, his mother bluntly remarked, 'These days, friends ask, 'Are you going to marry that girl?' or 'Once the youngest son gets married, there will be no worries.' However, I don't think that young lady likes you.' His mother also advised seriously, 'If you overdo it, girls won't like it. Dating is about 'give and take.'
Shortly after arriving at the market, citizens encouraged Jang Woo Hyuk by saying, 'Hurry up and get married.' Jang Woo Hyuk's mother questioned, 'Can my son really get married?' adding a touch of humor, and after visiting the matchmaker, Jang Woo Hyuk returned home to repair his mother's house. He notably showcased his handyman skills by personally installing a ceiling fan, to which his mother quipped, 'You do all that, so how can you not get married?' She again launched a relentless attack about marriage. Amid the awkward atmosphere, Jang Woo Hyuk sweetly wrapped lettuce for his mother while eating the meal she prepared. Yet, his mother confessed, 'My last dream in life is for Woo Hyuk to get married,' and warned, 'Not long ago, your niece got married. Once the niece has a baby, you will become a grandfather.' To this, 'Principal' Lee Seung Cheol chuckled, saying, 'I already have six grandchildren,' and amusingly shared, 'I told the future son-in-law to call me 'hyung' (older brother) when we're out,' turning the studio into a sea of laughter.
Jang Woo Hyuk revealed, 'I want to meet someone as family-oriented and loyal as my mother.' His mother demanded, 'Then promise me this: next time, bring your girlfriend! If you don't bring her, I won't open the door,' laying down the law. Jang Woo Hyuk quietly smiled while washing the dishes, but his mother said repeatedly, 'Why can't my son get married when he even washes dishes well?' The relentless remarks earned her respect from the 'Mentor Corps,' who remarked, 'Mom, that's truly commendable!' Following the sweet and savory day of Jang Woo Hyuk and his mother, the date of the 'Il Young couple' on a camping car trip was revealed.
Earlier, Kim Il Woo, who had already slept in the camping car with Park Sun Young, was shocked when she said, 'Wait! Let me get something,' freezing in place. On that day, Park Sun Young came out of the camping car holding a cake while singing a birthday song. It turned out she had prepared a 'custom-made cake' featuring miniatures of herself and Kim Il Woo to celebrate his upcoming birthday. Touched, Kim Il Woo made a wish and blew out the candles. Amid the sweet atmosphere, he wore a 'snore-prevention set' for the light-sleeping Park Sun Young. Afterwards, the two snuggled up to sleep in the camping car. The next morning, Kim Il Woo and Park Sun Young naturally walked arm in arm along the beach. Additionally, Kim Il Woo prepared 'clam chowder' using the clams they had eaten the day before, serving up a Michelin-level breakfast. Park Sun Young exclaimed, 'It's so delicious,' and added, 'I think I will remember this later.' Kim Il Woo immediately responded, 'Then I'll make it for you again~.'
After the meal, the two challenged themselves to ride the famous 'Sky Bicycle' in Gangneung. Kim Il Woo, who has a fear of heights, completed the ride for Park Sun Young, who enjoys extreme sports, and upon witnessing this, Lee Seung Cheol praised him, saying, 'He overcame it with love!' Subsequently, they moved to a camping spot that Kim Il Woo had scouted in advance. Kim Il Woo stated, 'Having lived in Gangneung, I always wanted to visit here. I'm hoping to see the stars with Sun Young one last time here.' Park Sun Young drove the camping car to the place recommended by Kim Il Woo, known as 'Anbandegi,' which is called the land above the clouds. Upon arrival, the two quickly set up their camping equipment, embodying the vibe of 'Day 2 of the camping car trip.'
A little later, as night fell, Kim Il Woo gazed at the stars, engrossed with Park Sun Young in finding constellations. During this, Kim Il Woo confessed, 'But do you know? The starlight we're looking at right now is actually the starlight that twinkled a year ago. Although you may not realize it now, there are people who will feel more precious with the passage of time.' To this, Lee Da Hae remarked, 'Aren't you referring to Park Sun Young, whom you first met 30 years ago?' making Kim Il Woo nod in agreement. As the atmosphere intensified, Kim Il Woo unexpectedly presented her with a surprise gift, saying, 'A necklace made from the clams we ate yesterday.' Park Sun Young joked, 'I did eat the scallops well, but I should have found the pearls inside~.' In response, Kim Il Woo handed her a genuine 'pearl necklace,' stating, 'I found a small one?' Lee Da Hae and Shim Jin Hwa exclaimed, 'Oh my goodness,' bursting with excitement, while Park Sun Young, after wearing the necklace, replied, 'Next time, I'll wear something that shows off the necklace better. Though the pearl is small, it's precious,' expressing her gratitude. Lastly, Kim Il Woo asked, 'How was this camping car trip?' Park Sun Young replied, 'Five stars. There were rewards too~,' looking happy. After that, Park Sun Young looked up at the stars, and Kim Il Woo said, 'I'll support you,' gently cradling her neck in his hands, raising their 'excitement level' to the highest.
