KBS2 ‘Let‘s Live Together with Park Won-sook’ Park Won-sook complained of pain during filming.
As Namgung Ok-bun and Won Mi-yeon perfectly adapt to life in Seoul and foreshadow sisterly chemistry, the youngest Mi-yeon prepares breakfast before a full-fledged Seoul exploration. Mi-yeon sheds tears as she recalls the taste of kimchi her late mother made. The sisters, reminiscing about the old days, take a walk along Bukchon Gyedong-gil, where the traditional beauty of Hanok houses is combined with youthful fun. They enjoy the streets of Bukchon while visiting restaurants that have been in business for decades, selling old props that are hard to find these days, and tasting nostalgic snacks.
The sisters visit Gyeongbokgung Palace, which is beautiful with autumn foliage, to welcome fall. Accompanied by commentary from Namgung Ok-bun, who has transformed into a ‘Palace Doctor’, they tour the dazzling sights from Gwanghwamun Woldae to Geunjeongjeon, Gyeonghoeru, and Hyangwonjeong, feeling the autumn atmosphere of Gyeongbokgung Palace. The sisters, who unexpectedly became popular stars at Gyeongbokgung Palace, which is full of foreign tourists, are flooded with photo requests. Peace is fleeting, but the eldest sister Park Won-sook complains of pain and collapses in a wheelchair. Will the sisters’ outing end safely?
Also, on that day’s broadcast, the sisters learn the unexpected news that the restaurant they happened to visit was once the home of a wealthy family. While eating, Won Mi-yeon reveals the story of her mother, who suffered from Parkinson’s disease, suffering from a hip fracture and receiving treatment at six different hospital departments, and adds, “I personally dragged the patient’s bed around for my mother who had difficulty moving,” which is heartbreaking. She also reveals the story of how she had no choice but to eat in the bathroom to take care of her mother, who was in the negative pressure ward.
The sisters visit the underground shopping mall of the Express Bus Terminal to shop for clothes. The sisters’ rampage begins in this shopping paradise filled with everything from fashion to interior design items. Park Won-sook shows incredible concentration at the low price of 3,000 won per piece, while Hye-eun is crowned the big shot of Saseon-ga by buying every single piece of clothing she sees. After returning home, the sisters evaluate each other while holding a fashion show with the clothes they each bought.
A day spent enjoying Seoul with Namgoong Ok-bun and Won Mi-yeon can be seen on KBS2’s ‘Park Won-sook‘s Let’s Live Together’ on Thursday, December 5th at 8:30 PM.
