■ Go Jun-hee's Father Calls to Arrange an Impromptu Meeting with Parents with Her Blind Date

Go Jun-hee went on an evening walk with her second blind date, continuing their conversation naturally. When asked about her dating experience, a nervous Go Jun-hee replied, "I don't remember well" and "I've never had a boyfriend," turning the studio into a sea of laughter. The situation took a sudden turn when Go Jun-hee's father called during the walk. The father invited the blind date to the house for a cup of tea, and an impromptu meeting with parents was arranged. At the meeting, the father closely examined the blind date, asking detailed questions about his family hometown, sibling relationships, hobbies, and drinking habits. Reactions poured in from the studio: "It's like a son-in-law interview" and "The father seems nervous too." Her parents expressed their fondness for the blind date, saying, "If you keep weighing conditions and personality, even good matches don't work out, so we wanted to help the two of them," and "Seeing him up close, we like him even more." Go Jun-hee also shared her thoughts, saying, "I was worried he might be surprised, but I was actually grateful to my dad," and "I think I learned more about him watching him talk with my dad than from the conversations I had with him."

■ Park Mi-sun and Lee Bong-won Travel Alone to Gangneung After 20 Years... Reflecting on Memories Before Cancer Treatment

The couple Park Mi-sun and Lee Bong-won went on a trip to Gangneung, just the two of them, for the first time in 20 years. This trip was a reminiscence journey to revisit Gangneung, which Park Mi-sun had visited with her family before undergoing cancer treatment, giving it special significance. Upon arriving at the brunch cafe she had visited with her daughter, Park Mi-sun marveled, "How did you remember this place? I need to live a long time," and Lee Bong-won boasted, "Where else would you find a husband like this?" He took meticulous care of his wife throughout the meal. Lee Bong-won took Park Mi-sun to a painting studio. Park Mi-sun revealed, "Before I got sick, I was thinking of attending night school for art," and "My childhood dream was to be a painter, and thanks to my husband, I get to try it," expressing her gratitude toward him. The two playfully teased each other while drawing each other's faces. Park Mi-sun expressed her affection, saying, "The older brother I used to like has become a middle-aged man," and "I fell for him because his eyes were pretty, and his eyes are still pretty and cute." Lee Bong-won drew Park Mi-sun with black hair instead of white, joking, "I made you look like you're in your 40s." In the interview, he sincerely shared, "I didn't want to draw the white hair as it was," and Park Mi-sun responded, "I couldn't dye my hair, so I'm grateful and touched that you drew me with black hair." The two then headed to the sea to see rapeseed flowers, but only one flower remained. Lee Bong-won expressed his disappointment, saying, "I tried to make up for it, but the timing was off," and Park Mi-sun joked it off with laughter, saying, "I don't think I have a connection with flowers" and "I won't go flower viewing with my husband anymore." Reflecting on her time in Gangneung, Park Mi-sun confided, "The last time I came to Gangneung, my body wasn't in good condition and I was about to start cancer treatment, so I had a lot on my mind." She continued, "Looking at the sea again, I feel like I endured it well," and "This was the reason I needed to regain my health," unable to hide her overwhelming emotions.
