Actor Lee Jang-woo actively stepped in for his cousin Hwanhee after getting married.
On the 16th, according to ratings firm Nielsen Korea, the KBS2 'Mr. House Husband' that aired on the 15th recorded a nationwide viewership rating of 3.9%.
This was a 0.1 percentage point increase from the 3.8% broadcast on the 8th, and the highest rating since episode 449 (4.6%) aired on June 27. In particular, the scene of Hwanhee, who joined Lee Jang-woo in cooking abalone while Lee carefully looked after Hwanhee's mother, recorded 4.5%, the day's highest rating.
In the opening, when asked about reactions after appearing on Mr. House Husband, Hwanhee replied, "My mother is so popular that she covers up and goes out. If the shoot runs a little late, she asks, 'Aren't you shooting? When are you shooting?' " and drew laughter. When told that he has been attending many events after appearing on Mr. House Husband and was challenged by Park Seojin, he announced he would appear at the Jinan red ginseng festival, and Park Seojin said, "That's an event I went to," then, following the Chunhyang Festival, she was again dashed by reversed fate and caused uproarious laughter.
Hwanhee spent a special day with his younger cousin, actor Lee Jang-woo. When Lee Jang-woo visited Hwanhee's home, he said, "I watched Mr. House Husband and there are many problems. Why are you like that to your aunt?" and pointed out Hwanhee. He went on to explain his reason for the visit: "Since I was young, my brother has been so Teto-nam. Seeing him be so tough with our aunt made me angry. Being the youngest, I grew up affectionate, so I came to tell him how to treat our aunt."
In particular, Lee Jang-woo immediately tried to arrange an introduction, saying he would introduce a friend of his wife who was born in 1994, and Hwanhee, conscious of the large age gap, reacted, "Then I'll get a lot of criticism and have to quit," showing reluctance. Lee Jang-woo then humorously persuaded him, saying, "My parents have a 20-year age gap."
Lee Jang-woo enjoyed glamping with Hwanhee's family. For his aunt, Lee prepared abalone from early morning and set a hearty table with abalone porridge, abalone vinegared salad, grilled abalone and more, and even brought along a hula hoop that his aunt often enjoyed, showing his thoughtful touch. Hwanhee also tried to get closer to his mother by learning to cook directly from Lee Jang-woo.
After the meal, Lee Jang-woo showed special affection, saying, "When I saw my aunt as a child she always felt like a mother. She never said anything unpleasant," and added, "Watching Mr. House Husband, I saw my brother cry sadly. To me, my brother is a big star. Because of him, our family became happy, and I often thought I wanted to be a cool person like him. It was the first time I saw my always-strong brother cry, and our mother cried when she saw that, too."
Meanwhile, Park Seojin and younger sibling Hyojeong felt the spirit of independence activists at Seodaemun Prison on Liberation Day, ran 8.15 km and then took part in a "payback" event ordering 815,000 won worth of food to reflect the meaning of Liberation Day, inviting even middle school ssireum team members to share a special meal together.
