The eclectic knowledge chart show that you bite, tear, taste and enjoy, 'From One to Ten,' shocked and moved viewers at the same time by selecting a father's letter that arrived 100 years later and the case of a son disguised as his deceased mother because of a pension as the No. 1 and No. 2 'global unbelievable true stories.'
On the 23rd, the T-cast E Channel show 'From One to Ten' featured 'Gwiyupgyu' Jang Seongkyu and Lee Sangyeop on the theme 'Is this really true? Global unbelievable true story legend,' vividly unraveling bizarre incidents from around the world that make you question your eyes and ears. From touching stories that leave a deep aftertaste to chilling crimes that leave viewers speechless, a parade of real-life events beyond imagination drove living rooms into shock and terror.
The coveted No. 1 was a moving true story tied to a father's letter that arrived after 100 years. Jennifer, who ran a water activity business in Michigan, U.S., found a green glass bottle in a river containing a handwritten letter by 18-year-old George. After the story was posted on social media, a woman in her 70s named Michelle contacted them claiming to be George's daughter. It was confirmed that the letter was a time capsule George made in 1926 to commemorate his birthday. Jang Seongkyu was amazed, saying "truly a miraculous story," and Lee Sangyeop was deeply moved as well, saying "my nose tingles."
By contrast, No. 2 was an atrocious filial impiety case in which a son impersonated his mother who had died for money. Andrea, a man in his 50s from Italy, pretended to be his mother Graciella to steal her pension and property rental revenue by dressing as a woman. Even more shocking was the discovery of Graciella's body preserved in a mummified state at Andrea's home. It turned out that when his mother died, instead of reporting the death, Andrea used syringes to keep her in a mummified state. Lee Sangyeop angrily said, "This is not just unfilial conduct but wickedness." Andrea ultimately faced the judgment of the law on charges of hiding a body, fraud and identity theft.
Also revealed was an unprecedented scandal that shook Argentina: a judge who fell head over heels for a life-sentence prisoner. Cristian, a vicious criminal who killed his 9-month-old stepson and caused the death of a police officer during an escape, was captured after six years on the run and sentenced to life imprisonment. A week after being imprisoned, he engaged in a shameless display of affection with a woman in the visitation area, and the woman turned out to be Judge Mariel Suárez, who had directly participated in Cristian's trial. In particular, Mariel was revealed to be the only person who voted against life imprisonment for Cristian, which caused a huge outcry, and she was ultimately dismissed from her judgeship amid the disgrace of being called the "kissing judge."
Other unbelievable global true stories that added interest included a refrigerator runner mistaken for a thief, an amazing friendship between a fisherman and a wild alligator, death-defying challenges by people risking their lives for social media views, a devoted teacher carrying a student on his back across a river, civil servants who routinely went to work for others using face masks, a humanoid robot dancer that surprised Elon Musk, and a villain who changed the road for an on-time departure — a variety of real-life stories beyond imagination were revealed. Meanwhile, 'From One to Ten' will take a short break to return with stronger fun and richer stories. Jang Seongkyu and Lee Sangyeop previewed, "We will fully recharge our energy during that time and come back," raising expectations for the next season.
