Lee Jung Jin from 'Marriage Lesson' shared his honest thoughts about marriage with his close friends Lee Jong Hyuk and Oh Ji Ho, while Lee Da Hae, the 'Assistant,' even hinted at setting up a blind date for Lee Jung Jin, keeping viewers engaged.
In the 173rd episode of Channel A's 'Recent Men Life - Marriage Lesson' aired on the 23rd, a day was depicted where Lee Jung Jin invited his 'married man' actor seniors, Lee Jong Hyuk and Oh Ji Ho, to a small countryside house and generously served them braised chicken. Additionally, Kim Il Woo brought laughter by visiting Park Sun Young's house and receiving mental training from the 'scary sisters-in-law' Hong Jin Hee and Jo Hye Ryeon. The broadcast recorded a viewership rating of 2.4% (among paid broadcasting households nationwide), proving the solid popularity of 'Marriage Lesson.'
In the small countryside house, Lee Jung Jin woke up. Having welcomed the morning in the lodge he often visited with his parents and pet dog, he quickly tidied his bedding and showcased his 'morning routine' by eating medicinal porridge in the kitchen. Upon seeing this, the 'studio mentor group' praised him, saying, 'You are all set.' After neatly finishing his breakfast, he dressed sharply and waited for someone, who turned out to be his close friends, Lee Jong Hyuk and Oh Ji Ho. As soon as the two entered the countryside house, they asked, 'Why did you suddenly appear on 'Marriage Lesson'? Do you really have thoughts about marriage?' Lee Jung Jin admitted, 'It's already late, but if it gets any later, it's over. I want to have kids too.' At that moment, Oh Ji Ho said, 'I just remembered,' and asked, 'Do you remember the person I introduced to you?' Lee Jung Jin was flustered and replied, 'Wasn't it about 7 years ago?' and added, 'I contacted her once, but after that, it got tangled up. I was afraid to contact her again because I thought it might make Ji Ho feel awkward.'
Immediately after, the three went to the market to buy ingredients for Lee Jung Jin's chicken recipe. On the way to the market, Lee Jung Jin revealed that 'New Grooms' Jang Woo Hyuk and Chun Myung Hoon are all the same age and said, 'I may not be first, but I don't want to be last.' The two were surprised and remarked, 'We thought Jung Jin was enjoying being single, but it's admirable that he is thinking about marriage.' After finishing their shopping, they returned to the countryside house, and while Lee Jong Hyuk and Oh Ji Ho lounged on the sofa, Lee Jung Jin immersed himself in cooking alone in the kitchen. During this time, Oh Ji Ho analyzed Lee Jung Jin's strengths and weaknesses, saying, 'Jung Jin has a cold image because of the roles he often plays, but in reality, he is very family-oriented and cooks well. He is the type to only do what is necessary. Therefore, he tends to only do that much for someone he meets for the first time and thinks, 'Why should I do more?'
The braised chicken was completed with a 'great chemistry,' and Lee Jong Hyuk and Oh Ji Ho joked, 'It's really delicious! Just don't get married and keep having fun. Cook for us~' However, the two soon advised, 'You should take the lead and go for it when a woman you like appears.' Especially, Lee Jong Hyuk said, 'When you meet a good woman, you end up lying without even knowing it, like, 'I would die without you.' This is my marriage secret.' To this, Lee Da Hae responded, 'Se7en was like that too. He said he would do '100%' for me, but now it's about 7% after the wedding?' expressing strong agreement. She continued, 'We also dated for a long time, and one day my mom and Se7en's sister went to the wedding venue together. After that, the wedding proceeded in a hurry.'
Amidst the heated discussions about marriage, Oh Ji Ho asked, 'Do you have a specific first action that you take when a woman you like appears?' Lee Jung Jin replied, 'I don't say anything,' eliciting sighs from everyone. Then, he confessed, 'I want to meet someone, but if I feel they aren't the right one, I should reject them, but I'm afraid there might be an attitude of, 'That's why you can't get married' or 'You're too picky.' To this, Lee Da Hae said, 'I hope you meet an active woman who can eliminate such thoughts. I have a friend who suddenly comes to mind; they can come when I call them later.' This made Lee Jung Jin excited. Finally, Lee Jong Hyuk and Oh Ji Ho concluded, 'It would be nice to drink when Jung Jin gets married. Let's drink within a year!' while making traditional liquor together, wrapping up the day's meeting warmly.
Next, Kim Il Woo's day unfolded as he revisited Park Sun Young's house. Kim Il Woo brought desserts that Park Sun Young likes and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The moment the front door opened, he thrust the bouquet forward, and the ones who greeted him were Hong Jin Hee and Jo Hye Ryeon. The two, who are close to the 'Il Young couple' and are known as 'scary sisters-in-law,' keenly observed the chemistry between Kim Il Woo and Park Sun Young, and expressed their satisfaction by saying, 'They really look like a couple!' During the conversation, Jo Hye Ryeon said, 'If you keep refining someone you like, they really become a gem. (Park Sun Young) is a shining raw stone!' Park Sun Young responded, 'Oppa! Will you really refine me?' and Kim Il Woo happily replied, 'A reliable supporter has appeared~.' In the cheerful atmosphere, Park Sun Young expressed a usual complaint, saying, 'Oppa doesn't really push with assertiveness on dates. He considers the other person too much.' Hong Jin Hee pointed out, '(Kim Il Woo) is very polite and considerate, but that makes the other person more uncomfortable.' Jo Hye Ryeon added, 'That might actually be a lack of consideration' and asked, 'Honestly, how much money have you made?' Kim Il Woo immediately retorted, 'Sun Young, marry a man who has a lot of money and is older than you~,' making everyone burst into laughter. Jo Hye Ryeon declared, 'If the two of you get married, I will sing at your wedding,' and promptly put on a performance of 'Ahnakaana.'
After stirring up the atmosphere, Kim Il Woo suddenly said, 'I'll clean the house,' and started washing the windows of Park Sun Young's house. In the 'sudden cleaning mode,' after finishing the window washing, Kim Il Woo sat down on the sofa to rest. At this moment, Park Sun Young approached him holding a small box. Inside was a bracelet adorned with a sapphire, her birthstone. Kim Il Woo, who previously gifted Park Sun Young a pearl necklace, was moved by her gift of the bracelet and expressed, 'Today's allowance is generous, right? I feel like I could live as a servant every day.'
