‘It‘s fortunate that you get a good rest’ Olympic gold medalist Oh Sang-wook proved his ‘clumsy hands’ on a deserted island.

Episode 32 of the MBC entertainment program ‘It’s fortunate that you get a good rest’ (directed by Kim Myung-jin, Shin Hyun-bin, Lee Jun-beom, Kim Ki-ho / written by Kwon Jeong-hee / hereinafter ‘It‘s fortunate that you get a good rest’), which aired on the 20th, depicted the second day of the operation of a 0.5-star deserted island with 2024 Paris Olympics fencing gold medalist Oh Sang-wook, South Korea’s star short track speed skating athlete Kwak Yoon-ki, Merguri Association President Kim Dae-ho, veteran Merguri Park Jun-hyung, and chef Jeong Ho-young.

According to Nielsen Korea, a viewership ratings research agency, on January 21, the broadcast that day recorded a viewership rating of 5.3% nationwide, ranking first among entertainment programs in the same time slot and first among all entertainment programs aired on Mondays. The 2049 viewership ratings also took first place in the Monday entertainment rankings, and the consistent golden results have proven once again that ‘Pookdaeung’ is the ‘strongest Monday entertainment show’.

On this day, Oh Sang-wook went fishing in the morning. Oh Sang-wook, who introduced himself as ‘Oh Tae-gong’, said, “I started fishing when I was 21 and have been doing it for about 8 years” and expressed his confidence by saying, “I even caught a 96cm tuna”. To this end, Oh Sang-wook created a fishing spot on a boat by combining a water bike and a raft left behind by big shot Se-ri in order to go out to the open sea where there are various types of fish. He helped Oh Sang-wook and his workers out to the open sea with the golden thigh strength of national short track athlete Kwak Yoon-ki.

Oh Sang-wook was incredibly good at catching fishing spots, but the catch of the day wasn‘t enough for him. While rookie angler Park Jun-hyung caught dragonfish, rockfish, and black sea bream, he didn’t catch a single one. Even Kim Dae-ho caught black sea bream, filling the boat fishing spot with a festive atmosphere, but Oh Sang-wook was the only one who couldn‘t hide his impatience. Finally, he got a bite, and the fish he caught was a red sea bream, the most expensive in the market. However, he had to release the red sea bream because it was less than a span in size.



Then, black sea bream, gunpyeongseon, and other various fish came out of the fish trap that had been cast the day before, exciting everyone. Even puffer fish, which was usually considered a dud because it was highly poisonous, were welcomed thanks to Jeong Ho-yeong, who had a license. However, Oh Sang-wook’s fish trap was a dud again this time. Only mini-sized pufferfish that should have been released were included, so I experienced another humiliation of being released.

However, thanks to the abundant catch of fish, the breakfast menu was decided to be ‘Emotional Dome Noodles’ with three emotional domes. The noodles, which had a sweet and sour taste with Chef Jeong Ho-yeong‘s special sauce, and the emotional dome noodles with a generous amount of expensive emotional dome sashimi stimulated everyone’s mouths. Oh Sang-wook, who had initially said that he would not eat sashimi because he had not caught a single fish, ate a piece of sashimi at the urging of his brothers and shamelessly asked for another piece, causing laughter. Still, he did his part as a worker by taking charge of cleaning emotional domes and mixing bibim noodles with his gold medal-winning hands.

After serving breakfast to the guests, the workers also tasted the sashimi noodles. At this time, Oh Sang-wook drew admiration with his extraordinary eating skills. Boom, who was watching this in the studio, said, “As far as I know, he eats 5 packs of ramen as a basic,” proving his amazing appetite. Oh Sang-wook, who even earned the nickname “Myeon Sang-wook,” stimulated the viewers‘ mouths by refilling and eating hoe-guksu.

It was time for the last supper, and Oh Sang-wook, who had experienced the humiliation of 0 fish so far, was given a final chance for revenge. Oh Sang-wook took out his secret weapon, a net, saying, “I can catch 30 fish with one throw.” This time, too, Oh Sang-wook was confident that he would win a gold medal, but throwing the net was not easy. Despite repeated attempts, the net did not open properly, and he failed repeatedly. After throwing without giving up, the net finally opened properly, but in the end, nothing was caught.

Although the net failed, Oh Sang-wook had his reliable brothers behind him. Kim Dae-ho, the president of the Seagull Association, and Park Jun-hyung, a veteran seagull, searched the sea diligently and secured various ingredients such as conches and scallops. When dinner finally arrived, Jeong Ho-yeong prepared ‘Sora Sichuan Tangsuyuk’ that brings out the texture of conches, ‘Pufferfish Sashimi’, the first of its kind on a 0.5-star uninhabited island, ‘Muchong Simmered Fish’ with Gunpyeongseon, and ‘Scallop Stone Pot Rice’ for dinner.

Among them, the pufferfish preparation that is not easily seen caught everyone’s attention. Having obtained pufferfish qualifications in both Korea and Japan, he skillfully prepared the pufferfish to remove the poison, sliced it thinly, and prepared the perfect pufferfish sashimi. Ahn Jung-hwan, who likes pufferfish sashimi the most, looked at the screen in the studio with envy.

From Chinese ‘Sora Sichuan Tangsuyuk’, Japanese ‘Pufferfish Sashimi’, Korean ‘Mucheong Braised Fish’, and ‘Scallop Stone Pot Rice’, Jung Ho-young completed another excellent course meal, continuing the value of the 0.5-star uninhabited island with a 0.5-star facility but a 5-star food. Lastly, while eating dinner, Oh Sang-wook promised, “Next time, I will bring pufferfish”, raising expectations for his next challenge as a worker.

Meanwhile, the trailer released at the end of the broadcast depicted Ahn Jung-hwan‘s large-scale project, “Every uninhabited island is a restaurant!”, stimulating the curiosity of viewers by depicting an uninhabited island restaurant. MBC’s ‘It‘s a Good Thing to Get a Good Rest’ airs every Monday at 9 p.m.
