The 2049 viewership rating was 1.5%, recording the top rating for two consecutive weeks across entertainment, drama, and cultural programs aired on the day, with a peak viewership rating of 5.7%.
The representative couple entertainment show SBS 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2' is celebrating its 400th episode with a six-week special themed 'Love That Brings Each Other to Life', starting with the couple Jung Eun-hye, a caricature artist and actress with Down syndrome, and Jo Young-nam, who captured great attention with their complete and pure love that resonated deeply. In the broadcast on the 11th, following last week, the life story of Jung Eun-hye's family, which was like destiny, was revealed, garnering interest.
That day, Jung Eun-hye made a video call with actress Han Ji-min, with whom she has maintained a special bond since meeting as twin sisters in the drama 'Our Blues,' catching everyone's attention. When asked if their newlywed life is good, they responded, 'We are living sweetly,' evoking envy from Han Ji-min.
On that day, Jung Eun-hye's family shared their story of overcoming difficult times together. Jang Cha-hyun, who gave birth to Jung Eun-hye at the young age of 26, expressed, 'I held Eun-hye in my arms for the first time and saw a person with a disability. It felt like my life was falling into a pit beyond being astonished,' revealing her innermost thoughts. Jang Cha-hyun, who was going through tough days, realized that the cause of her unhappiness was not situations but rather how people viewed her. She shared, 'I thought, 'Let's turn it around. Let me look at them,'' revealing the moment she found the courage to start anew as a mother.
Furthermore, her mother Jang Cha-hyun noted, 'I have tried every possible educational method,' and mentioned that 'the effect of education seems to have only given Eun-hye the identity of 'I am a person with a disability,'' sharing the story of why she decided to stop her daughter's education. Additionally, her father Seo Dong-il mentioned, 'Eun-hye, as an adult, had nowhere to go. Eun-hye had lived in a cave,' revealing the unfortunate story of how his adult daughter had become isolated from the world. Jang Cha-hyun stated, 'That cave was not a place for quiet reflection alone but a disengagement from social relationships. I think I saw how that disconnection can dramatically change a person,' while Jung Eun-hye calmly recounted, 'It was very tough. I had a strong obsession with gazes and even suffered from schizophrenia' as she shared her past pains.
The thing that pulled Jung Eun-hye out of the cave was 'art.' After seeing the first painting that Jung Eun-hye drew at the age of 23, her family recognized her potential and helped her draw people's faces at a flea market in their neighborhood, marking the beginning of caricature artist Jung Eun-hye's life.
Meanwhile, her younger brother Seo Eun-baek, who is 15 years younger, also revealed his difficult past. Living a life where it was always natural for him to take a back seat to his sister, Seo Eun-baek recalled the day when the frustration he had always endured suddenly exploded. He confessed, 'Why was I born into such a family environment? That day, those bad thoughts erupted for the first time in my 19 years.' He added that only after personally experiencing a mentally difficult period did he truly understand his sister for the first time. In response to a question about his younger brother, Jung Eun-hye provided an unexpected answer, saying, 'He was an angel when he was pure and young,' touching hearts.
That day, there were also drawings of '2nd generation dreams' among the family members. Seo Dong-il and Seo Eun-baek pondered, 'Have we lived our lives thoroughly planned and prepared?' and 'Is it fair that the family discusses this and not the parties involved?' However, Jang Cha-hyun, worried, remarked, 'Ultimately it will be family care,' bringing a more realistic conversation. However, Jo Young-nam, who had expressed a desire for children, was surprisingly silent. After hesitating, he expressed, 'If the child is born with a disability, I can't just leave it to my mother-in-law. I also feel sorry for my brother-in-law and father-in-law,' revealing his true feelings, which moved not only the family but also the studio audience.
In the following interview, Jo Young-nam shared, 'I am also a person with a disability, so what if the child is born with a disability?,' revealing worries that surfaced ahead of his desire to have children. Jang Cha-hyun, aware that it would be difficult for her son-in-law, expressed, 'I find it very admirable, and on the other hand, it's pitiful and sad,' thanking her son-in-law for expressing his honest feelings, and added, 'Let's continue to discuss openly and together, just like now.'
