tvN STORY 'Gakjib Couple' official "cleaning fool" Kim Jung-min faces an emergency, and a savior appears. The hero is Song Il-guk, the "Song-gaiver," who has mastered the killer know-how of managing separate households.
tvN STORY 'Gakjib Couple' episode 3 delivered the reality-sister laughter of actress Moon So-ri and her mother Lee Hyang-ran's bickering mother-daughter chemistry. The real-life "Ae-sun-i" mother who devoted her life to her family and the nagging daughter had a day that brought both warmth and amusement. Then Kim Jung-min, who switched into work mode in the musical "Mamma Mia" rehearsal room, showed a contrasting charm by turning into a nervous "plant-eating man" mode in front of tiger-like directors, unlike his onstage charisma. Even his wife Rumiko saw a side of her husband she had never seen before.
In episode 4 airing today (18th), the Gakjib couples get together for the first time in a while. But Kim Jung-min, who missed his wife Rumiko and the family 24 hours a day, faces a crisis. As usual, while enjoying a leisurely cup of sweet coffee, his wife Rumiko suddenly raids him, and an unexpected inspection of the cleaning state leaves her aghast. In the last broadcast, Kim Jung-min was crowned the show's official "cleaning fool" with a new-concept Wi-Fi cleaning method. In the released preview video, Rumiko discovers kimchi that had been left at room temperature for three months and gone beyond aged kimchi to "rotten kimchi," and is shocked.
Then Song Il-guk, the relief pitcher, appears before Kim Jung-min, who has entered an extreme emergency due to Rumiko's surprise cleaning inspection. Song Il-guk, who appears with him in "Mamma Mia," has also built rapport with Kim Jung-min as someone who has been living apart for two years. But the difference is that Song Il-guk is not only a hands-on dad but also a household master. Carrying a toolbox that rivals a professional's, he will demonstrate the true side of the "Song-gaiver," using the killer know-how he accumulated over two years of separate-household life to thoroughly remove the home's accumulated grime and repair damaged areas. The episode raises curiosity about what Kim Jung-min's home will look like reborn under his hands.
Meanwhile, Moon So-ri and Jang Joon-hwan, as a couple, spend time alone together overseas for the first time in a while. They were both invited to the Da Nang Asia Film Festival in Vietnam. Jang Joon-hwan, who only has eyes for his wife on the red carpet, shows a sweet husband mode as a "So-ri admirer," still evoking a warm smile. But at the festival, an unexpected heated exchange unfolds when they summon each other's ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends, stimulating interest. In response, their professional charm and genuine couple chemistry are expected to deliver another kind of entertainment.
The new-normal couple life observation show "Gakjib Couple," more touching because they live apart, episode 4 airs today (18th) at 8 p.m. on tvN STORY.
