(One Night Sleepover Trip's 5th country, China) (A city where refine modernism) (And historical traditions coexist, Shanghai) (What special relationship will they find today?) (Starting off with hearts filled with excitement) It's raining too much. Is this a storm? (Due to a sudden downpour) (The One Night Sleepover Trip crew is tied down) It's raining really hard. What do we do? This is really serious. The weather's not on our side. (Feeling so lost) It's raining really hard. This is the first time it's raining on our show. – Really? / – This never happened. (The production crew is lost as well) This is a big problem. We'll have to try even if it's raining. (Even rain can't stop us!) What would you like to do? Well, first… There's a tea shop across the street. Let's go to the tea shop to find a shelter from the rain first. Okay, okay. (But they hesitate to make their way across) No, we don't have time. Let's go.
The cameras are the problem. The cameras are all getting wet. Let me stand outside for a minute to see how bad it is. Huh? I'm going to cover my shoes. (Because my babies are precious) He's ready for anything. (Taking the lead) Can we continue shooting like this? Sangmin, we can't do this. – We can't. / – I can't hear you. (Can't even communicate) I think we need to go back to Chenle's place. (No need to hear) This isn't going to work. I think it's a sand rain. (Instead of lensless glasses) This is the worst downpour this year. (He'll need swimming goggles) The cameras are alright. The cameras are alright? Let's go then. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. – Sangmin. / – Yeah? We're all wet. – Who'd invite us over? / – You might be right. – We're all wet. / – Yes. (Cough, cough) (Stay strong, Jongmin) What's happening? Look at that water! This is the worst! This is a big problem.
– We're all wet. / – It's more serious here. So wet. – It's like a waterfall here. / – How do we even ask? It's a waterfall here. (Ah…) (Are they a raincoat trio?) It's hard to go in anywhere like this. This is serious. – Is it here? / – It's serious. It's here. Let's buy some tea here first. Hello. – Hello. / – They sell flower teas. We enjoyed really delicious tea at Chenle's place, right? (Tea that Chenle's family had prepared for the trio) Longjing. (One of the 10 renowned teas of China, Longjing tea) – Good. / – Good. Very good. (The trio has fallen in love with Chinese tea) (What tea will suit the special occasion of this trip?) What kind of tea are you looking for? (What tea caught Jongmin's attention?) Wow. The color's beautiful. Confederate rose tea. Confederate rose. – Confederate rose? / – It's the name of the flower. That flower opens up. It stopped right before blooming? It opens up when it's submerged in water. (Confederate rose tea is great for relieving stress) Oh, sunflower seeds.
– Do you know them? / – Yes, I do. These are sunflower seeds. (Great size of sunflower seeds of Great China) Can I try this? Sure. Let's try one. (What do Chinese sunflower seeds taste like?) It's good. (Jongmin's sunflower seed husking) (The spirit of a hamster taking over Jongmin) (Nom, nom) Are you hungry? Are you? (Nod, nod) (I can have two million of these sunflowers seeds) He's enjoying them. (He's eating a lot) We'll have to buy a bag of that. – This? For snack? / – Yes. (Sunflower seeds added to the gift bag) Shall we pay now? $57.
(The weather is still crazy) So what do we have to do from here? Yeah, we'll have to go in somewhere. I don't see how we can solve this. What do we do then? We'll have to come up with a plan. (Jongmin's radar is on) (Spotted the generous-looking shop owner) (Shall I try asking him?) Excuse me. – Thank you. / – Thank you. Excuse me. (At his baby smile) (She gets more courage) You didn't take your day off for Labor Day or go visit your hometown. It's high season for me. There are guests, so I keep the store open. How many do you have in your family? How many do you have in your family? Four people. (What kind of family members would they be?) (Curious) We're shooting for a variety show to be aired on KBS.
Could you let us sleep over a night? (What would the answer of the kind store owner be?) Shanghai is a big city. So, to learn China's traditional culture, it would be better to go to a different region. (Thank you for your kind concern) I see. Thank you. Thank you. I hope you make great sales. Thank you. Thank you. (I hope you find great friends) Well, it's raining a lot less now. We got all wet within a few seconds. Yes, me too. It didn't rain a single drop while I was here. – Yeah, just like that… / – And it had to rain… Just when we're about to try. We never imagined that this would happen. Is this a Chinese restaurant? Oh, is this where they do that burning noodles? – What was it? Flaming noodles? / – What's this? Isn't that Chinese noodle soup with beef? (Everyone's getting excited) Mr. Kim Jong-noodle… (Mr. Kim Jong-noodle in Shanghai) (People are coming out on to the street) They're still riding their bicycles even in the rain.
(Cough) – Motorcycles. / – No, I think they… Were hiding from rain somewhere… – And came out now that it has stopped. / – Right. Their clothes aren't wet. (Going around in rain would be stranger) How amazing. Amazing. Look at those ducks! This must be a famous restaurant! Wow, gosh. Yeah, they do it for you right on spot. Peking duck! Oh, I want to try it. (Pie in the sky, hungry, sad) (I'm sorry I can't buy it for you) (It's alright) It's like one of those fried chicken shops in the neighborhood. This is what we should be having.
Oil has been well-drained. Just like a street shop… (Can't move on…) (Desperately) (Craving) Let's go. (Don't look back, if we look back, we lose) (We'll be back for sure to have it with special friends) Laundry water? Why is it flowing out on to the street? Here? (Not laundry water, rainwater, flooding) Can we cross this? What do we do? (Let's see) Jongmin. Jongmin. (Surprised) Pick her up. No! What are you waiting for? I'm heavy. You can't carry me. (The weight of an actress is a secret?) No, this isn't going to work. (You've got a long way to go) You've got to do it like this.
(Excuse me) (This is the charisma of the 40s) (Sorry I couldn't buy you the duck) Oh, my heart. (Sangmin's legs are shaking) What about me? (Jongmin's left all alone) (Oh, what a strange guy) Jongmin, no, no. You're too heavy. So awesome. You are too heavy. That's what you should have done! Oh, my heart. Something's weird between you two. Hello. Is something going on? My heart thumped. I had to carry her as an older brother. (Because I couldn't buy her Peking duck) How could you not even do that for me? I was eating sunflower seeds… This area has a nice atmosphere. This area is… (Hyeonkyeong's "Dictionary of Various Knowledge") Like a French village. During the colonial period… The French had colonized this area. (French concession in Shanghai) (Area where French people lived and exercised) (Extraterritoriality during the French colonial period) That's why the area looks a little…
– Antique and European. / – Right. It's a lot French. – Hey, fruits. / – Yeah, fruits. Let's buy some fruits. (Colorful fresh fruits) (What kind of fruit would their special friends like?) Hello. Let's buy a durian. – We'll take the most expensive one. / – Okay. Because price matches the taste. Shall we get a pineapple too? They'll peel it for us. Are you the owner? Yes, I am. Can you peel one for us? Can you peel one for us? Oh, there's a knife for it. (He peels the pineapple outside) (Wow) (Interesting show) He's so good at it. (The flesh appears within seconds) He must have run this shop for a long time. Yes. How long have you been running this shop for? (A professional with 20 years of experience) 20 years? Oh, I really want some now. It's going to be so good.
I can smell it. Smell that. I want to take a bite. (Mouthwatering, look at that, smell that) You're like a sculptor. Artist. (An amazing smile) How many do you peel every day? About 30 to 40. (Since you've done this for 20 years…) Must have earned lots of money around here. No, just enough to make a living. (What a modest sculptor) Are you from Shanghai? I'm from Jiangxi. I'm lived in Shanghai for 20 years. What do we do with this now? You want it cut, right? Looks tasty.
It's mouthwatering. – Right? / – Yes. (Mouthwatering torture) – Thank you. / – Thank you. This one's big. (Recharging on sugar) (Feeling that sugar filling him up) How do you say delicious? – "Haochi." / – "Haochi." (Fully charged) (Watching you guys makes me happy) Do you know many Koreans? I see Koreans often in this neighborhood. Because of Korean Provisional Government site! That's why… Do you know Korea's Provisional Government site? Of course. It's nearby. (Provisional Government of Korea, on April 11th, 1919) (Established to resist against the Japanese rule) (Located near Xintiandi of Shanghai) I know President Moon Jaein too.
(He shows much interest in Korea) I also know that he met with Kim Jongun. I think Korea will be unified soon. It's a good thing. Do you live upstairs? Yes, I live here. Where are your children? My son graduated from college and is working and living somewhere else. So you raised him with the money you made selling fruits. Right, right. Yes, that's right. He must have worked really hard. You must have had much trouble opening this shop.
I started off with a 3-wheeled handcart. Oh, going around selling fruits with a handcart! So he started off with a handcart and became the owner of a shop like this! (That's how everyone lives) Your fists are really big. (I know mine are pretty big too) (The growth stages of a hand) (Is he Actor Ma Dongseok of Shanghai?) You've got a really big hand! (Rough and coarse hands) (Calluses all over) (For 20 years, he has not rested a day) (In order to look after his son) (What stories are hidden under his smile?) (Sangmin, shall we ask him once?) Do you think you can let us sleep over? Do you think you can let us sleep over? (What would his response be?) (Wow) I'm sorry, my house is really small. (We understand) Also, it's a rented house. It really is small so I can't let you sleep over. Sure! We can't cause trouble when the house is rented. – Thank you. / – Thank you. (It was nice meeting you) (Wandering again for a night over) What will you be giving as presents? – Oh, I have some things prepared.
/ – Really? – I… / – Do you need to buy something? – I have nothing. / – Give what you bought earlier. (Right then, Hyeonkyeong's eyes caught something) (A chinaware shop) – How about those? / – That's pretty. They've got nice stuff. (What special gift will they find here?) – They have earrings too. / – Like tea sets… And bracelets. These as well. That's also pretty. (Eye-catching ornaments) – What's that? / – Oh, aren't these… The four beauties of China that we talked about? So pretty! (NCT Chenle's grandfather's house) Yang Guifei. Xi Shi. Diaochan. Wang Zhaojun. (Welcome, everyone) – Hello. / – Hello. We'd like to look around a little. We came in because it looked so pretty outside. (Jongmin first asks for permission to shoot) (Brilliantly gleaming chinaware) (The prices must be quite high) We're looking for a gift. Is there something less expensive? (Embarrassed) (What does the curator recommend?) This is so pretty.
It's a really nice quality. It's very clear, smooth and clean. It's really thin here. When you look at a chinaware… When you look at a chinaware… If your hand can be seen through, it's a really well-made chinaware. (How does he know?) If you can see your hand… Can you see? – Yeah, we see it. / – Can you see it? Yes, look at it. (Interesting, interesting) Right, right. (Getting a good impression of him) How much is that one? (What will be the price of the teacup?) 3,000 yuan. 3,000 yuan? That's $600.
(Wow, that's quite pricey) (Do they not like it?) I'll show you more works on the other side. There are amazing pieces here. – Really? / – Yeah. Isn't this the six-stringed Korean instrument? (Found a Korean instrument here?) (China, seven-stringed harp, $160,000, can't buy) Korea had an instrument like this in the past. It must have been similar to China. I think Jongmin is really fond of her… Are you liking the piece or her? Well, both… Is it the artwork or her? Make yourself clear. (When I look at you) You look the same. Is that you? Oh, no, no. (Into the heart of Jongmin who came to buy a gift) (She walked in like a gift) I think you're the fifth beauty.
Oh, don't say that. (You're the first beauty to me) What's your name? Wang Ling. – Wang Ling? / – Wang Ling. Even her name's pretty. Wang Ling. My name is Kim Jongmin. – Kim Jongmin. / – Kim Jongmin. – He has no girlfriend. / – Yes, no girlfriend. Do you have a boyfriend? No, I don't. – Oh, she doesn't. / – Talk more with her. (Smile) (Right then, another curator appears) What's the relationship between you two? We're colleagues. Colleagues? You two look alike. We do, right? We have the same height and weight. We also live in the same neighborhood. You guys look alike. Where do you live, if I may ask? Where do we live? Are you from Shanghai? – Yes, we live in Shanghai.
/ – Shanghai? (Why do you ask?) This is a program where we meet a friend and talk about various things and sleep over at that friend's house. That's what this show program is about. (Confused) Can you let us sleep over tonight? (Did I do something wrong?) (No, good job) (What will their reaction be?) My place is so small that you probably can't even all sit together. (I can fold my body…) You'll have a better chance looking for a native here. We came from a different region and are on a rent. It won't be comfortable. (Beauties with beautiful hearts) Thank you. We'll come back next time to buy some for sure. I'm interested in buying some. – Thank you. / – Thank you. (Not crying) – Thank you. / – Wang Ling! (So sad) – Kim Jongmin. / – Kim Jongmin. (See you next time) I'm hungry and I don't see people. Oh, noodles? Isn't that scallion oil noodles? – This place looks nice. / – There's a bar there. (What's this restaurant that appeared before them?) (A cozy looking terrace bar) Shall we go in here? What do they sell here? Do they sell instant noodles here? (No, we don't) – It's a beer house.
/ – Sit, sit. We just kept on walking without a plan. (Totally worn out) We slept for only two hours. And the camera continues on rolling… I didn't know it was going to be like this. I thought we'd rest in the middle and all. – Amazing. / – That's what we thought too. (What do we have to do now?) (Yeah…) I'm so hungry. – Jongmin, first… / – Yes. We've done our best… – Even in the rain. / – There weren't even people… On the streets today. It really isn't easy. (Always feeling so lost every trip) So last night… I mean, they really liked Jongmin. – Big fans… / – Right. Oh, it wasn't all that. (What are they talking about?) (Last night on the plane to Shanghai) (Oh, Kim Jongmin!) (A few moments later) Can we get a picture together? Sure. (Take one of me too) (After takeoff) (Chinese fans have come to see him again) Could we get your autograph? Autograph, autograph. (So touched) Can we talk to you a bit later? We're on the plane, so not now.
But a little later… (Arrived at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport) – Is this your first time here? / – Yes, it is. (Sangmin and Jongmin talking with Hyeonkyeong) (Sangmin's eyes are focused on somewhere else) Hey, Jongmin. Aren't those them from earlier? Aren't they? No? (What's going on with them?) Right, right. It's them. Wait! (Fans they met on the plane) Oh, earlier on the plane… – We were talking with them. / – Yes. But we had to stop because the plane was landing. What were you talking about? Did you tell them about this program? Oh, no, not about this program. I took pictures with them and signed autographs. Oh, really? Really? (Chinese fans recognize Sangmin) (While Sangmin continues the conversation) (Jongmin and Hyeonkyeong join) – Wi-Fi. / – Jongmin! – I'm your fan. / – Hello. I'm Ryu Hyeonkyeong.
I'm an actress. Wow. How did you recognize us on the plane? Kim Jongmin! – "2 Days and 1 Night!" / – Jongmin! (Big star in China, Kim Jongmin) – "Love Letter." / – "Love Letter." What's "Love Letter?" – The TV show, "Love Letter." / – That old show? – Really? / – "Love Letter." – Oh, my… / – "Love Letter." – That's so interesting! / – How long ago was that? Like over 10 years ago. – When we were in elementary school! / – Elementary? – Elementary… / – Their Korean is so good. It must be because they learned Korean watching variety shows. – Hani. / – Hani? Hani. – Joy. / – Joy? This is amazing. Could we give you a call tomorrow? Could we? – We just met coincidentally that… / – Gosh. We forgot to even put on our microphones.
(Surprised and confused) Of course, of course. Wow. Wow. Amazing. This is so amazing. (So, they did get their number…) – Let's call them and… / – Yes. Meet with them. – Okay. / – We'll talk with them a little. Let's treat them to dinner and talk with them. Yeah, let's do that. – Let's try calling them. / – Let's call them. (Please pick up) Hello? Did she pick up? – Hello? / – Did she pick up? (Feeling so nervous) Hello! Hi! My name is Lee Sangmin. Lee Sangmin. – Lee Sangmin. / – Lee Sangmin. Oh, she understood. (Relieved for now) We'd like to go meet with you guys. (Will they allow the trio to go meet them?) We were just… Oh, they're being comfortable now. They're asking when we'll be coming. They're not Korean native speakers… (Passed the first obstacle) – We'll go over to you.
/ – Just need the address. – Address… / – Text it to us. Just send us a text with the address, please. – Okay. / – Okay. Okay, great! Let's do a cheer for today. China… (Oops) (Feeling a little worried?) – For a great night in Shanghai! / – Cheers! (Will the Chinese fans let the trio sleep over?) The street is really pretty here. This is that… European-style area… It was a concession. (A small Europe found in Shanghai) Oh, it's here. This is the address they sent us. – Here? / – Yeah. Las Tapas. (Where they've arranged to meet with the fans) – Is this the address they sent us? / – Yes, it is. They must be here. Wow. Hani and Joy? (With that short moment of meeting) (Will they be able to become special friends?) – Hello. Thank you! / – Thank you. Hello, hello. Hello. Thank you for waiting for us. We didn't know we'd really meet again! Sit, sit! She didn't know she'd meet us again! It rained so much… – That we're all wet. / – It was pouring. It was pouring hard. – Oh, thank you. / – Thank you.
(How kind) What were you two doing? It's a holiday. What did you do today? What were you doing? What were you doing? – Taking selfies… / – Right now… (Taking selfies) Selfie time… (Oh, they're such girls) – Are you in your 30s? / – Yes, 30s. – By lunar year, in my 30s. / – 30s. He's 40. No, we're friends. (Yes! Friends!) (Oh, how happy for everyone) How old are you now? In China, 25. – If I add a year… 26. / – 26? 26 years old. (How old is Joy?) – 25 years old. / – 25. (25 years old) I'm 35. No, we're friends. We can just be friends. – Let's just be friends. / – Friends, friends. (Hani's got a distinguished character) Your face is… Half, half! She says your face is half her size…
– Because you're an actress. / – Thank you. We didn't know we'd see you guys again. This is so cool. – So cool! / – Yeah, it is! We'd like to become your friends. Let's just all be friends! Friend? Friend, friend. – Friend. / – Friend. (This seems to be going well) (Shall we ask them?) (Hyeonkyeong's try) Could you let us sleep over for a night? (The dice has been rolled) (And the result is?) Okay! – Okay! / – Of course! Of course, yes. – Of course! / – Totally. – Of course! / – Totally. (But this wasn't the end of the story) You didn't tell him yet? You didn't tell him yet? (What's going on?) (Things are getting serious…) My dad doesn't know yet.
Her dad doesn't know yet. (Her dad doesn't know?) – Shouldn't you ask your dad? / – You should. It's okay. I don't have to ask him. She says it's a secret to her dad. It'll be a surprise for him. It'd be a surprise for him and he'll say, "Come here." – Boys coming to a girl's place. / – He could say no. No. – No. / – No. Where's is your dad now? He's not home. He's gone to work and he'll be back at night. Oh, that could be trouble for us. – You should ask him. / – Going uninvited… We can't go into someone's house uninvited. What if he says no? (All their efforts go to a failure?) If it doesn't work here, we're done for it today. (To relieve the worried trio) (She tries video-calling her dad) Isn't he working right now? (Worried, nervous) (Please…) He won't pick up.
(Will their sleepover fail like this?) (A call!) – Dad. / – He called, he called. Dad, I'm shooting for a show right now. I'll show it to you. Hi. Hello! Hi! Thank you. My name is Lee Sangmin. Sangmin is a celebrity from Korea. Can they have dinner at our place today? (Dinner at her place?) (What's Joy's father's answer?) (Please, father…) Of course, they can. Of course, they can. Oh, really? (Success at having dinner at her place) How about sleeping over tonight? – What? / – How about sleeping over? (Dad asks again) (Her father's expression is hard to read) (Could he be upset?) Of course, they can. Of course, they can. (Her father permitted them with ease) – Thank you.
/ – Thank you. See you later, thank you. (The trio got permission easily) (However!) (Nothing is easy to get) (The charisma of the mainlander) (What will the destiny of the trio be?) How do you always have miracles follow you? Shouldn't we be changing the name of the show? To "Miraculous Encounters." To "Miraculous Encounters." I mean, they first came to Jongmin for an autograph. – They saw him on "Love Letter." / – Love it! "Love Letter!" – We loved it so much! / – "Love Letter!" (Proud, proud) – Do you know Kang Hodong? / – By the way…
Which actress did you like on "Love Letter?" (Really curious) If I answer now, they might not let us sleep over. So I'll tell you when we go home. Answer them at home. (He's a genius at times like this) Maybe… Bae Seulgi? – Bae Seulgi? / – Bae Seulgi? Bae Seulgi! She knows Bae Seulgi! (The mother of Korean retro dance) (Totally into it) How do you know "Love Letter?" Broadcasting station. (Hani and Joy work at a broadcasting station) Variety shows? What? (What do Joy and Hani do at work?) Entertainment news. Reporter? Reporter. – Like "Entertainment Weekly?" / – Must be. – Then… / – So how do you feel… That you're in Shanghai? I feel great. It started raining all of a sudden. So I got all wet. My shoes are wet, and my clothes… Can I watch the program Hani came out on? Song Hyekyo… – You interviewed her? / – Yes. – Really? / – Yes. Wait a minute. She interviewed many Korean stars. This is the one about Song Hyekyo. (A clip of her work) – Oh, like that? / – Yes, yes.
– A short section. / – Like celebrity news and stuff. (Proven themselves as entertainment news reporters) (It has become dinner time) Do you know "xiao long xia?" "Xiao long xia?" Do you know "drayfish?" No. "Drayfish?" – I don't. / – "Drayfish?" – Oh! You mean spicy crayfish? / – Yes, yes! (Spicy crayfish?) – The tasty dish! / – That's very famous.
– Really? / – That's a must-eat in China. Shall we go have that? (Let's taste the best dish of China!) Xiao long xia. We get to eat that. – Is it something famous? / – Of course. – We decided to have xiao long xia. / – Okay. – Let's go. / – Good. – I'm hungry. / – Let's go. – Let's go. / – I'm hungry. (The darker the night gets, the brighter the city gets) (Oriental Pearl Tower) (Bright buildings that light up the night of Shanghai) (People enjoy their time under the lights) (What are the trio and the friends doing?) (They've arrived at a famous xiao long xia restaurant) – It's here? / – Here. – It's here? / – Is it here? Xiao long xia. There are too many people. It's full. They all look the same. (Main ingredient of xiao long xia, crayfish) If Korea has "chimaek," China has "xiamaek." You have beer with xiao long xia. Crayfish with beer… "Craymaek." (Xiao long xia, refers to crayfish) (The most popular dish in China) (Shanghai has a xiao long xia street) (In 2016 alone, 88 tons were consumed in China) (Various flavors can be made with different sauces) (Garlic xiao long xia) (Mala xiao long xia) How do you eat this? (How do you eat xiao long xia?) Like this.
(1. Take off the crayfish head) (2. Peel the body shell) (Moist meat comes out easily) – This? / – Yes. Dip this in the sauce? Oh, it's this small? – I thought it was going to be big. / – Me too. (Small crayfish are spicy!) (Sangmin, an epicure) (Hyeonkyeong, an actress) (Jongmin, a lover of noodles) (What do the trio think about the dish?) It's so good! It's delicious! Tasty! (Exclamations come out automatically) (The taste of crayfish calls for beer) – Cheers! / – Cheers! Tasty. It's got a strong garlic smell. (Garlic xiao long xia tastes delicious) But this is the real one. This is the real one originally. This spicy one. (Mala xiao long xia that boasts delicious spiciness) Shall we try it? (Nom, nom) (Jongmin has tasted mala xiao long xia) (That's known to be addicting to many) (Slow down) The sauce is really tasty, but there isn't much to eat. (There isn't much meat to eat compared to its size) (Eating nonstop) I'll just have it my style. What that means is that… I take off the head and… (How are you planning on eating?) I just have it after I take off the head.
No. I just have it after I take off the head. (Shocked) The shell's probably really hard. It's not. (It's cooked right enough to be eaten) That's actually Chinese style. I find the shells tasty. So I don't see why I need to put in effort to take off the shells. – Oh, you really like the shells? / – Yes. (This is what I'm talking about) (Sangmin has found his way of eating) Oh, this spicy flavor… I really like it that I want to find the recipe for it. Nice, right? Wow, this xiao long xia… It's so good. It's quite spicy. I'm loving it. This is addicting. – It's addicting. / – Yeah, it's an addicting flavor. – Joy. / – Yes. Is Jongmin handsome to you? Joy has no boyfriend. Jongmin is her "strange" type. – You mean, "ideal" type? / – Yes. – You mean, "ideal" type? / – Yes. (My ideal man…) (When I saw you in person) (My heart and my spirit were in the clouds) (Of course, Jongmin was…) You were handsome when you were young.
You were handsome when you were young. Am I not that handsome now that I'm old? Not as much as when you were young. How old are you? When were you born? In 1992. – We are 13 years apart. / – 13 years. – 13 years. / – That's not much. 13 years. – Age! / – I'm fine with that. – I'm fine with that. / – You're fine with that? Age is not so much of a problem. (13 years isn't that much) But! But what? When we went to Korea last time… At a club…
– At a club? / – She met someone? Yes. No! (That's an embarrassing story) – Just… / – Why not? – Just what? / – He's not fun! (But I'm right!) – Just, just… / – Friends? We just exchanged numbers. (I thought I was your ideal man) Just three days ago. (Watch what you're saying) – Three days ago… / – Oh, three days ago. – Now, the two are… / – Just numbers… Talking with each other through a messenger app. I don't even remember what he looks like anymore. Do you think that you can trust a man that you met like this? – Can she trust him? / – Yes, that.
I think that depends on the person. (I'm upset, Joy) Jongmin seems upset, no? (Had I been 10 years younger… Stupid crayfish) Do you have a boyfriend? I want to have a boyfriend. – You do? / – Because… I want to get married. Already? What's your reason? – My reason is… / – Why do you want to marry early? My father and my mother… They got divorced. Oh, they got divorced. So I… I want to marry quickly and have a family of my own. Oh, make a family quickly…
I want to meet my husband quickly. What do you think of Korean men? Korean men? I'm okay if he's like you. (Jongmin's popularity is exploding in China) I heard that Korea and China have different views on marriage. In China, parents want their child to get married after a certain age. They find it embarrassing if their child is still unmarried after that certain age.
I visited the Shanghai Marriage Market last Saturday at People's Square. (People's Square crowded with people) (Open umbrellas on a sunny day?) So they write their ideal type and the name and their background on the umbrella like this. (Marriage Market at People's Square) (The most important condition is) (To be a resident of Shanghai) (Sometimes, the parents and the child) (Come out in person to advertise themselves) They're doing their best to find a match for their child.
Parents were all out with the profile of their child at the square. It was really interesting to see. I don't understand the concept of standing at the square with the profile because it feels like they're selling an item. But for my parents' generation, it's very common. (The young generation may not understand) Think of it more positively. Just like how you met them coincidentally on a plane, you'll miraculously find your other half. Oh, really? (The night of Shanghai is deepening) (The bright nightscape and cool wind behind them) (People begin getting ready to close their day) Where's your house? (The friends head to Joy's place) – House.
/ – Straight! – Straight? / – Yes. By the way, the apartment complex is really dark. Why are there no streetlights? It's really bright in Korea. Light! Light! (Dimly lighted small street lamp) This building! – This building? / – There. (The apartment where Joy lives in) Here. (Finally arrived at Joy's cozy house!) – Finally, a place to sleep! / – Something's up here.
Huh? – Why? / – What do we do? – Why? / – Wait a minute. Why? What do we do? Is it a blackout? (A blackout all of a sudden?) (Why now of all times…) Is it a blackout? (It must be a blackout) (The apartment did seem really dark from outside) Is there a circuit box here? – No. / – The lights won't turn on. Okay, then we should… It's on! (The lights came on!) (So relieved) Wow. really. Wow. Put these on. We can sleep in the living room. (Cozy home of Joy) – It's so pretty. / – There's a cat! – Really? / – Yes, there's a cat. (Oops) (How an actress makes her entrance) Are you alright? Cat! (Did you cause trouble?) Cat! Cat! Aren't we… Hungry? (Mr. Lee has found his appetite again) What are you doing? Are you doing a search? – Yes. / – Yes. Do we have to eat out? (We'll eat at home) – We can get food delivered. / – Yes. – China has no delivery culture, no? / – I know. Doesn't China not have delivery food culture? We do now.
How long has it been? It's been advancing really quickly. Get us something that people in 20s like to eat at this hour. Don't mind us. But could you order us "cong you ban mian?" Order cong you ban mian for Jongmin. Order us a portion of cong you ban mian. (Cong you ban mian?) There's a famous dish called scallion oil noodles. – Shall we go try that first? / – Yes. Shall we think about it while we have that? Is this a Chinese restaurant? (All day, he's been thinking of cong you ban mian) (A fool for scallion oil noodles) Jongmin wants to try that scallion oil…
– Stir-fried noodles! / – Stir-fried noodles. Cong you ban mian! This is really good. I like it too. – Really? / – Yes. I really want to try it. Since we're here, we'll buy that. Of course. (Leave it to me) (Ordering, ordering) (While they wait for the food to arrive) – Let's look around. / – The room? – Your room's so pretty. / – The room's cute! It's so nice! (Filled with small and cute ornaments) (Cozy room of Joy) This. – Isn't this that? What was it called? / – Djembe. Djembe, right? Djembe. Can you play it? Can you play it? (This is what many people call me…) (God of music) (The god of music is starting to ride the rhythm) (Playing to the beat) (Not a duck, not broken either) (The two are in disharmony like oil and water) (A sudden finish) So cool! So cool! (Good job, Djembe) What's this photo? Oh, parents. (Photos of her memories) – Mom and dad? / – Yes. Pretty, right? Mom and dad. Your mother's beautiful. Thank you. – She's so pretty! / – Your mom's really pretty.
(Her mother and father are smiling brightly) This is the last picture I took with both of my parents. They divorced after this. (That's why the picture is even more precious to Joy) My mother is in a different city. She could come to Shanghai, but we can't live together anymore. It must be hard for her to come. I want to earn lots of money and get a house and invite my mom to live with me. My dad isn't against me meeting with my mom.
My mom and I have been friends since I was young. (And the stories that haven't been told) What's that tattoo on your arm? – Tattoo? / – I think I saw something. What is it? (What meaning is behind her tattoo?) It's a family picture. – I got it in Korea. / – You had it done in Korea? Oh, your tattoo is based on a picture? – Do you have the real picture? / – Yes. – Oh, really? / – Oh, a picture from your childhood! I see. (I always carry it with me) – So this is that picture. / – I see… Look at this picture. It's the same as the picture. Nicely done. (Her family that's always together in her heart) My family must be together in my heart. (We can feel Joy's longing heart for her family) Think of it this way.
Your sincere wish will let you see her again. Your mother is somewhere in this world anyway. And you're wishing for it this sincerely. Such wishes always come true. They really do come true. So… If Joy keeps on wishing for it sincerely… Your wish to see your mother again and to live together with both of them will… (We hope your wish will come true one day…) (Her happy parents in the old pictures…) (A happy family that) (Joy has been sincerely wishing for) (Even today, Joy carefully dreams) (Of a happy family of the three living together) It's here. Your dad? – No, not dad. / – Delivery. Delivery. (Enjoy) – Hello. / – Hello. Awesome! So cool! We're having delivery food in Shanghai! – Skewers! / – Skewers! – Chicken skewers? / – Lamb skewers. – Lamb skewers. / – Tsingtao beer and lamb! (Lamb skewers) The noodles look delicious. This is totally my style. So my style.
Shall we dig in? What should I have first? Oh, it's so hard! I'm having lamb skewers first. (Hyeonkyeong chooses lamb skewers) (Sangmin and Jongmin choose mala soup) (We'll be conquering all of Shanghai's delivery food) (Will they find the dishes tasty?) (Slurp) It's perfect for a late-night meal. – Is it? / – Yeah, it's perfect for a lat-night meal. It tastes like hot pot. (Yes, this is what I was looking for!) So good! So good! – Something's here again? / – More! I think it's the one you wanted.
The noodles? (Looking forward to it) You're bringing cong you ban mian, right? Friends! Cong you ban mian is here! Cong you ban mian! What is it? Cong you ban mian! Cong you for Mr. Kim Jong-noodle. (It's finally here) So this is the famous scallion oil noodles? (Eating hurriedly) (Sangmin tries it too) (Everyone, don't just eat, say something) (He's got to be a noodle-eating machine) This dryness that I get when I chew… It's good. That savory taste fills up my throat and I'm so loving it. (In summary, it's delicious) Another delivery! Another one! Where are you from? What is it this time? – Coco. / – Oh, Coco! Coco! (So happy) Milk tea! – Milk tea? / – Yes. They must deliver milk tea too. She ordered so much! She's really generous. (Generous girls of Shanghai, Joy and Hani) It's here. (What did they see?) (Shaking eyes) – What the… / – Look at the size of that milk tea.
Look at that. (Huge bubble milk tea) (I love bubble milk tea) It's warm. – Yeah. / – Warm milk tea. – How is it? / – It tastes different. How do you keep in shape? Keeping in shape… I usually don't eat so much, but I do eat a lot at times like this. I tend to binge… (The two binge eaters) (So they binge today too) What is the biggest concern of the two young ladies in their 20s working hard in Shanghai? (Joy and Hani's biggest concern?) Shanghai is too expensive. (Hani who had concerns regarding the economy) (Joy who wanted to live with the rest of the family) (A tattoo of her family picture) (What could their biggest concern be?) Finding a boyfriend. – Boyfriend. / – Of course, boyfriend. Boyfriend. (What about Joy?) (Same for me…) – I see. / – Same for her. How long have you not had a boyfriend for? (Oh…
Tears…) One week? Since 11th grade… You didn't meet anyone since 11th grade? Yes, that's right. – Oh, really? / – There's someone I like… But he doesn't like me back. I don't know anymore. What about Joy? About 2 years. – 2 years? / – Oh, 2 years? (I see what's happening) You two are really close, right? You two are really close, right? You two are always together, right? – Yes. / – That's why you don't have boyfriends. That's why you don't have boyfriends. (Such tearful friendship) What do we do? (Joy's dad arrived) Those things actually come true.
They do. (They are busy talking in the living room) (A man of strong impression, Joy's father) (Charismatic) (Three clear lines on the middle of his forehead) (He's coming!) (So surprised) (Giving off that aura) Is that your dad? – That's your dad, right? / – Is he your dad? (What's going on?) – Hello. / – Hello. Continue talking for now. (Joy follows after her dad) (The trio are surprised by the aura of Joy's dad) (Serious) Where did he go? – It's kind of pretty bad. / – It is? – Did we make too much of a mess? / – I know him. (It seems really serious) Is her dad upset? – Maybe it's too messy.
/ – We'll be fine. Let's clean up. (Let's clean up quickly) Aren't we getting kicked out? What's that? – Aren't we getting kicked out? / – What's that? (Chinese cherries) Where did you get those? (Are we to leave after having them?) Did your father bring those? Dad? (Why did dad bring home cherries?) (Wouldn't this be not enough?) (It's fine, dad) (Joy's dad is actually really gentle) (Everyone stands up automatically) – Hello. / – Hello. Have fun talking. Come talk and have fun with us. Thank you. Please, make yourselves comfortable. (Joy's dad who gives off such a strong aura) (Is actually a really delicate man) (A father who prepares breakfast before work) (A gentle dad always thinking about his daughter) I'm Kim Jongmin. Oh, Jongmin! I know you. Hello. She taught me Korean. Hello! Hello! My name is Lee Sangmin. – Sangmin? / – Yes, Lee Sangmin. My daughter told me about you so I looked you up. You two are TV hosts. My name is Ryu Hyeonkyeong. – Ryu Hyeonkyeong. / – Ryu Hyeonkyeong. I'm an actress.
Oh, I see. You speak Chinese well. You got that compliment yesterday too. We are singers. How old do they look? (Curious, looking forward to his answer) Let me guess. 26 years old. (26 years old?) No, no. Same, same. Same as my age? She looks so young! I'm 35 years old. 35. You look like 25, not 35. But you look really young. How old is your father? I turn 50 soon. (Found a real baby face here) – He looks really young.
/ – Wow. Young. He looks like he could be my friend. I don't think I'm old. I even went cherry picking today with my friends. (You're really young) Can I ask what you do for a living? I'm a supervisor at the China Railway. I'm the head engineer. I supervise for the China Railway. Korean is really nice to listen to. I think that's why she's trying to learn Korean. Did you know that Joy visited Korea not long ago? – Oh, you knew? / – Not just once, but often… She likes Korea so much.
Did you know that she also went to a Korean club? Did you know that she also went to a Korean club? No! – You made her panic. / – No. Are we not allowed to mention it? (It's a secret to my dad) Your daughter and her friend… Their biggest concern is about finding a boyfriend. Finding a boyfriend. (This is almost like Pandora's box) Boyfriend. (Oh, please stop) Why would you say that? I can't say this either? (This is how he repays me for inviting him over) – Just in case he's worried…
/ – No! I don't know if I can say this about my daughter… But I'm in a bit more hurry than her. I was thinking of going to the Marriage Market at the People's Square in a few days. Dad says he'll go to the People's Square. I've been to People's Square. – She's been. / – I've been there. I think I'll also go for my daughter.
(Dad wants to marry his daughter off quickly) It's not only to follow Chinese culture but also because there's only two of us. Usually, if a girl has a boyfriend, she marries him around the age of 25. She's already getting old, so I'm in a hurry. I'll go get more cherries. Continue talking. (His back looks somewhat lonely) (Once he marries off his only daughter) (He'll be left all by himself) Why does his back look so sad? (He quietly approaches him) Do you usually cook at home too? Yes, I usually cook by myself. Really? I've been cooking for my daughter since she started going to middle school. You must really love your daughter a lot. Her mother didn't come with us to Shanghai.
So I've been just living with my daughter. I don't have time to prepare breakfast for her often. So do you cook for your daughter by yourself? She gets off work late at night because she works at the TV station. I get off earlier so I shop groceries and prepare food. I get off earlier so I shop groceries and prepare food. I get off earlier so I shop groceries and prepare food. (He's always thinking about his daughter) (Cherries that the father picked himself) So delicious! (The trio are enjoying the cherries) (It's time to go to bed now) – Thank you. / – Thank you, sir. – Thank you. / – Thank you. You really are like an actress. (Shy, shy) (Hyeonkyeong exchanges numbers with them) Wow. Good night! Are you sleeping this way? (Sangmin and Jongmin will sleep in the living room) – Good night! / – Good night! It's comfortable here. (2nd night in China) (The two have been worn out the whole day) (Taking a deep sleep) (6:05 a.m.) (Dad wakes up) (What's the first thing that he does in the morning?) (Preparing breakfast for his daughter) (Hyeonkyeong wakes up too) (What is that noise?) Did you sleep well? Get more sleep.
(Getting ready for breakfast) (Dad's getting ready to leave) (Checking once more…) (Sangmin is sleeping sitting upright) (Snoring) (Dad quietly leaves for work) Dad prepared breakfast before leaving for work. (What menu did dad prepare?) – Porridge. / – Porridge. (Breakfast of a common Chinese household) It's like thin rice gruel, no? A bit like scorched rice in water. Yeah, rice porridge. What do you call this in Chinese? That's called "dan bing." – Dan bing. / – Dan bing. Egg. Dan bing. Then what's this? – This. / – Looks like fast-fermented bean paste. (Fillings for dan bing) (Pickled beans, Chinese-style dried radish) (Stir-fried duck intestine, pickled vegetables) (Lastly, the sauce) How do I eat it? The sauce smells so good. Good smell. – What is this again? / – What's the main ingredient? It's made with beans and beef.
Now, you wrap it like this. You wrap it and roll it up. (Yum) So delicious! (This is delicious) This is so good. (It must be to their taste) (Jongmin takes a big bite too) The sauce finishes it off perfectly. How long does it take to go to work? About an hour. – An hour. / – I see. Okay, then let's leave now. – She needs to get to work and all. / – Yeah. – Let's go. / – Thank you so much for the night. Thank you for this Chinese breakfast. The breakfast was delicious. – Delicious. / – Delicious. – Thank you. / – Thank you. (On the way to work with the trio) This is like a fashion show. (Are you watching, fashion people?) (The road I take becomes the runway) What's that? – What egg is that? / – Duck egg. Look at those eggs. These are chicken eggs? No, duck eggs. Oh, duck! Duck and goose! (Trying to buy one for Sangmin) If an egg gets rotten, we throw it away. It's been fermented? (Fermented duck eggs, bought) (The inside starts to reveal its color) It's the egg from those chilled vegetable dishes! – Those chilled vegetable dishes! / – Right! I see! I really like this! (Fermented eggs enjoyed with chilled vegetables) How does it turn like this by fermentation? Oh, this is it.
(First time seeing it whole) – Have it. / – You have it. Try it. This fermented duck egg? This was so good when it was served cut. But now that I'm trying to have it whole… (Let's go!) (Will it be to his taste?) I'm okay. There's more. I'll have it on the way. (Let me try it) (A taste that opens up the nostrils) – It tastes like the fermented skate. / – Skate, skate. Tastes like skate. I can't eat skate. It tastes like fermented skate. With chilled vegetables, it didn't taste like this. But when I just have this… – It tastes like skate. / – Tastes like fermented skate. Such mischievous girls.
(Sorry, sorry) – Wow, it's strong. / – Tastes like fermented skate. It's strong. When they come to Korea, I'll have them taste fermented skate for sure. (We'll try fermented skate next time we go to Korea) (It's time for each to go on his or her way) – Do we wait here? / – Yes. (Burying the sadness in the past night) I want to spend more time together. – Already? / – Yes. (Don't want to say good-bye) (The bus arrived!) This is our bus. You take this bus? – Bye! / – Bye! Good-bye! Let us know when you come to Seoul! Good-bye! – Bye! / – Good-bye! – Good-bye! / – Good-bye! (Good-bye!) (Although we don't know when we'll meet again) (Don't forget us) (One Night Sleepover Trip special no. 2) (Our Spanish family has come to Korea!) (10 times more exciting experience than) (The night over in passionate Spain) (Making memories in Sokcho) (First time for everything) (Delicious and exciting experiences) Rock, paper, scissors! (And even hidden surprises!) ("Bingle Bangle" by AOA)
