Meanwhile, Haru's cuteness increased day by day, capturing the hearts of those who watched.
During the 200-day commemorative shoot, Haru was likened to a flower prince to follow in the footsteps of Park Bo-gum and Cha Eun-woo. Sim Hyung-tak couldn't hide his admiration upon seeing Haru in traditional Hanbok, exclaiming, "Wow, whose kid is this?"

Above all, the true hero of creating Haru's memorable 200-day photos was none other than Sim Hyung-tak. He knelt down to gauge Haru's mood, enthusiastically engaging in impromptu performances, bubble play, and peek-a-boo jumps.

The broadcast continued to capture attention with the joint parenting system of the large family, revealing the daily life of Kim Yoon-ji and her daughter Ella. In particular, family members showcased their efficiency as they gathered to wrap the party favors for Ella's first birthday.
Moreover, Ella surprised her mother Kim Yoon-ji and grandmother Kim Young-im by taking her first steps independently. When Kim Yoon-ji stated, "It was the first time she had walked so much of her own will," Choi Ji-woo exclaimed, "That's really precious footage." As Ella finished walking and sat down, the family erupted in cheers and applause, with Kim Yoon-ji giving a thumbs-up, saying, "She walked five steps!"
The broadcast drew attention by revealing Ella's first birthday party. Including comedians Choi Byung-seo, Lee Yong-sik, and Kim Hak-rae, as well as soccer player Ji Dong-won, gathered in one place to celebrate Ella's birthday. Choi Byung-seo became teary-eyed, recalling his close friend and Ella's maternal grandfather, while Kim Yoon-ji also reflected on her deceased father, saying, "Because I know my dad is watching over me, I'll do my best to raise her well," which brought tears to her eyes.
Next, the highlight of the birthday party, the 'doljabi' ceremony, focused everyone's attention. Choices for the doljabi included silk thread, a violin, a judge's mallet, a pencil, a golf ball, a microphone, and a stethoscope, laid out in front of Ella. The grandmother expressed a desire for the stethoscope, the maternal grandmother wanted the microphone, Kim Yoon-ji hoped for the pencil, while the father wished for the golf ball, indicating different desires for the doljabi item. During the fierce competition, eyes were fixed on what Ella would choose. Ella appeared to pick up the judge's mallet but ended up grabbing the golf ball, eliciting cheers from her father. However, at grandmother Kim Young-im's request, a doljabi redo took place, generating laughter, and Ella again firmly grasped the golf ball during the second doljabi, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
