Lee Sang-woo‘s mother reveals her love for her daughter-in-law Kim So-yeon.

On the KBS 2TV show ‘New Release Convenience Store Restaurant’ (abbreviated as ‘Convenience Store Restaurant’) that will air on the 22nd, Lee Sang-woo invites his mother, who looks just like him, to his house and they have a great time. Not only does he learn his wife Kim So-yeon’s favorite recipe for pickled vegetables from his mother, he also tries to celebrate her birthday with a surprise mission. In the process, Lee Sang-woo‘s mother catches the eye by showing her endless affection for her daughter-in-law Kim So-yeon.

According to the production team, in the VCR that will be released that day, Lee Sang-woo stands in the kitchen with his mother, who has come to his house, holding various tools and seasonings in both hands. The two cook together, showing off their sweet chemistry, even wearing hairbands that look just like each other. The ‘Convenience Store Restaurant’ family members who were watching the VCR reacted warmly, saying, “Your mother is so lovely”, “I thought you were my older sister, not my mother.”

While they were cooking, Lee Sang-woo’s mother started talking about her daughter-in-law Kim So-yeon and said, “I got a call from (So-yeon) yesterday. My daughter-in-law is like my daughter! How can So-yeon be so cheerful?” She praised her daughter-in-law until her mouth was dry. Kim So-yeon, who always gives her husband Lee Sang-woo courage with lovely reactions and pretty words, also treats her in-laws as if they were her own daughter.


Lee Sang-woo‘s mother continued, “When So-yeon calls me, ’Mother, mother‘, I melt at her. That’s why I saved her name as ‘복든이’ on my phone,” she said with eyes dripping with honey. She also showed off her endless love for her daughter-in-law by revealing a special gift she received from Kim So-yeon. Lee Sang-woo also expressed his gratitude to his wife Kim So-yeon and promised, “My in-laws only have three daughters. I have to be a good son.”

Meanwhile, Lee Sang-woo‘s mother suddenly got angry while cooking with her son, making everyone laugh. Lee Sang-woo’s mother was watching her son being overly meticulous and suddenly made a bombshell statement, saying, “Then your mother-in-law will hate you too!” We will wonder how Lee Sang-woo will react to his mother‘s statement. The story of Lee Sang-woo and his mother, who made everyone laugh with their bickering chemistry, will be revealed on the episode of ’Convenience Store Restaurant‘ that airs on Friday the 22nd at 8:30 PM.
