Actors Lee Jang-woo and Jo Hye-won expressed their hopes for a large, happy family.
On the 6th episode of MBC's "Countryside village Lee Jang-woo 3," Jo Hye-won was shown visiting Udeok village in Buan.
That day, Jo Hye-won, who rode a motorcycle to visit the house in Udeok village where Lee Jang-woo was staying for the first time, could not help but admire the village scenery. Lee Jang-woo, who welcomed Jo Hye-won warmly, asked, "Did you enjoy touring the neighborhood? It's a really great neighborhood here, isn't it?" and Jo Hye-won said, "Oh, this place is really insane."
After seeing the house where Lee Jang-woo lives, Jo Hye-won exclaimed, "It's so pretty. Can't we move here for real? Let's come down here. It's so beautiful," Lee Jang-woo said, "From the first time I went to Gimje I bragged a lot. Since we were dating, we've longed for country life so much that we often visited where my parents live. We went often, grilled samgyeopsal, played by the stream, went camping a lot and tried to enjoy nature, but we always wanted to come and then couldn't. This time we had the chance to come visit," he said.
Later, Jo Hye-won took out knitted hats and beaded bracelet gifts prepared for the grandmothers of Udeok village and said, "You just thread the beads onto the string. And you must include the turtle. It's for the elders to live long and be healthy, with a good meaning. So I really wanted to include this," and she made bracelets on the spot, adding initials herself.
Lee Jang-woo asked, "It's nice to be in the countryside, right?" and Jo Hye-won confessed, "It's much better than I imagined when I heard about it alone. Really. I think I understand why people say it's so good." Jo Hye-won, who said she had never lived in the countryside, said, "So it's very refreshing," and Lee Jang-woo shared a special connection, "Did you go to the countryside for Lunar New Year? Jang-woo, Myeon-woo, Byeok-woo, Cheol-woo. Our family all have names with the 'woo' syllable. This place is Udeok village, and everyone's names here also share the 'woo' syllable."
He also mentioned plans for children, saying, "But I liked that so much. I liked that their thoughts about children were the same as mine." He said, "If heaven really grants us a lot, I want to have many children and live in a bustling house," and the production staff asked, "What are your plans for children?"
Then Jo Hye-won also said, "We want to have many. Originally we thought about three, but the more the better, so we're even thinking up to five. If the body cooperates. Right?" expressing a desire for many children. Lee Jang-woo joked, "I will make no comment," and added, "But when you talk about this with friends who already have kids, they say, 'Try having them,' and tell you to have them and then talk about it, which seems fine," showing his confidence.
Jo Hye-won also boldly said, "I don't think we should even give ourselves a chance to rest. No time to think," Later Lee Jang-woo said, "If you give AI your photo and my photo, it shows what the child would look like. They have that," and Jo Hye-won asked, "Let's try. Can we do it now?" The two immediately uploaded their photos to the AI to generate an image of their child, and upon seeing the completed child image, Lee Jang-woo smiled contentedly, saying, "So pretty."
Jo Hye-won said, "How could we release this to the public?" and Lee Jang-woo couldn't take his eyes off it, saying, "The lower face is more like you than me." Jo Hye-won said, "If it's a daughter I hope she looks like you, and if it's a son I hope he looks like me?" and Lee Jang-woo said, "I hope they don't inherit my appetite. Being hungry all the time is sometimes painful. And I hope they take after me in personality a bit," expressing his wish. Then Jo Hye-won joked, "Why do you think my personality is not good?" and Lee Jang-woo, flustered, said, "No, that's not it..." which made them laugh.
Lee Jang-woo suggested, "They say Udeok village has good energy. Let's take some of that energy with us later," and the two strolled around the neighborhood and fully enjoyed cherry blossom viewing. Jo Hye-won marveled, "It's cherry blossoms everywhere," and Lee Jang-woo said, "People should live together with nature like this. In 20 or 30 years, it would be great if we could live with nature then," and Jo Hye-won also said, "It's great. I love it," revealing her longing for countryside life.
Afterwards, Lee Jang-woo headed to grandmother Gilsun's house and introduced Jo Hye-won to the grandmothers gathered there. The grandmothers warmly welcomed Jo Hye-won, saying, "You're so pretty. Welcome. Our village is a good village, we're glad you came," and, "Your name is pretty too." They also generously complimented her, saying, "You look taller than the groom. Maybe because you're slim you look even taller."
They also offered well-wishes, saying, "Welcome. Our village is a good village, so we have babies who give birth to sons," and Lee Jang-woo honestly said, "There are so many sons in my family that I want to have a daughter." Then grandmother Gilsun said, "I also had many daughters. I'm one of four," offering good energy.
Afterward, Jo Hye-won handed over the gifts she had prepared, and the grandmothers were very pleased and expressed their gratitude. Amid this, when they asked about their love story, saying, "I heard you got married last year? How did you meet and get married initially?" Jo Hye-won explained, "You know the drama 'My Only One'? I had a brief cameo in it. I appeared briefly as a caregiving nurse pretending to be Doran."
Lee Jang-woo said, "That was eight years ago, and when I first saw her I was smitten and we dated until we got married last year," and the grandmothers cheered, "Well done. Have healthy sons and daughters and live happily."
