‘Groom Class’ Shim Jin-hwa is moved to tears at his mother‘s 70th birthday party.
Episode 151 of ‘These Days Men’s Life - Groom Class’ (hereafter ‘Groom Class’)’, which airs on Channel A at 9:30 PM on the 19th (Wednesday), will show ‘Love Department Manager’ Shim Jin-hwa preparing a ‘Surprise 70th Birthday Party’ for her mother without her husband Kim Won-hyo‘s knowledge.
On this day, Shim Jin-hwa and Kim Won-hyo prepare holiday food with their mother, who came up from their ‘hometown’ Cheongsong, Gyeongbuk. The ‘Studio Mentor Corps’ are curious about the family of three dressed up in hanbok and making jeon, asking, “What day is it?” Shim Jin-hwa says, “Actually, my mother is turning 70 soon, but she hates having parties. So, he said he was preparing for the holidays and decided to throw a ‘surprise’ 70th birthday party. His mother has no idea. He reveals that”, it was all planned by his husband.
While he was busy cooking, So Yoo-jin makes a surprise visit. So Yoo-jin says, “I made food because my mother came over. I made this with Baek Jong-won’s recipe”, and hands him a generous portion of braised short ribs and japchae. So Yoo-jin also says, “My husband also says that Jin-hwa‘s family is family”, and gives him some special ssamjang that Baek Jong-won made himself. Shim Jin-hwa agrees, “Eugene and I are close as family”, and tastes the special ssamjang, braised short ribs, and japchae. Meanwhile, Kim Ki-wook and Kim Shin-young show up with both hands full of gifts, creating a truly festive atmosphere.
Once everyone is gathered, a table full of food is set. The table is filled with fresh seafood airlifted by Kim Won-hyo, galbi-jjim and japchae by So Yoo-jin, and raw flounder and gwamegi that Kim Ki-wook and Kim Shin-young bought, making your mouth water. While eating, Kim Won-hyo suddenly says, “Have Shin-young and Ki-wook seen our father (father-in-law)? I really wonder what he looks like.” It turns out that Shim Jin-hwa’s father passed away four years before his daughter got married, so she had never seen her ‘son-in-law’ Kim Won-hyo. Kim Shin-young says, “I have,” and reveals an episode about Shim Jin-hwa‘s father, who was very loving towards his daughter. Shim Jin-hwa finally bursts into tears when her father is mentioned.
After a meal filled with tears and emotion, Kim Won-hyo and Shim Jin-hwa prepare a full-fledged ‘Surprise 70th Birthday Event’. They take their mother to a massage chair and tell her to “Take a rest”, and quickly prepare a 70th birthday meal. Shim Jin-hwa’s mother is touched by the unexpected event and hugs everyone, saying “I‘m so thankful and happy”. Kim Won-hyo then reveals a special gift for his mother, turning the scene into a ‘Sea of Tears’. You can find out what Kim Won-hyo’s surprise gift was that made even the viewers cry on the 151st episode of ‘Groom Class’, which airs on Channel A at 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the 19th.
