tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' will air a special episode themed 'Life Is an Odyssey' at 8:45 p.m. this evening. Episode 357 features four guests who have made headlines in various fields.

Kim Do-hee, who delivered a memorable performance with her 'dancing tambourine' on 'National Singing Contest,' will share her past as an LG Chem employee dreaming of becoming a comedienne, and the story of how she almost became Yoo Jae-suk's direct junior. Kim Do-hee also met her first love, now her husband, through an office romance, and she performed her tambourine act on set.

As the film 'Odyssey' succeeds and the original work 'Odyssey' receives renewed attention, Professor Kim Heon of Seoul National University discusses his 22-year translation process, the original's ending, the differences between the film and the original, and the reasons classic literature should still be read today. He also shares the behind-the-scenes story of completing his translation just as news broke of director Christopher Nolan's film adaptation. Yoo Jae-suk said his conversation with Professor Kim Heon was 'thrilling.'

Sam Kim, a chef of 27 years, candidly talks about what sparked his dream of becoming a chef, his family's sacrifices, the hardships of studying in the United States, his family's experience of receiving an eviction notice, and memories with his father. Sam Kim also revealed the story of his mother becoming credit-defaulted due to a loan for his study abroad, and a special pasta dish he created for his father.

Actor Song Kang, making his first variety show appearance since his military discharge, revealed that he read 40 books during his service and reflected that military life was a turning point in his life. Song Kang shared various stories, including the backstory of playing a genius pianist in the drama 'Forehand,' a video letter he sent to Lee Jun-young, what led him to choose the path of acting, and an anecdote about buying kitchen supplies in bulk after reading a cookbook. He said, 'I could do about four more months,' drawing laughter with the twist that he dreamed of re-enlisting and his remark that he slept 10 to 12 hours despite suffering from insomnia.

Meanwhile, 'You Quiz on the Block' airs every Wednesday at 8:45 p.m.
