MBC‘s ‘I Live Alone’ Kim Dae-ho revealed his daily life as a freelancer. While he shows off his leisurely time realizing his dreams, he also makes everyone laugh with his enthusiasm and passion in the studio. Ok Ja-yeon showed off her amazing cooking skills and basketball skills in the new ‘Jiayun House’, and was crowned ‘Namyangju Ok Jang-hoon’, showing off her colorful charm.

On the MBC ‘I Live Alone’ (directed by Heo Hang, Kang Ji-hee, Park Soo-bin, Kim Jin-kyung, Lee Kyung-eun, and Moon Ki-young) broadcast on the 21st, the daily life of Kim Dae-ho, who has returned as a freelancer, and Ok Ja-yeon, who has moved into her new ‘Jiayun House’, were revealed.

According to Nielsen Korea, a viewership survey company, on the 22nd, the household viewership ratings for the previous day’s ‘I Live Alone’ recorded 6.0% in the metropolitan area, ranking first in its time slot. Also, the key 2049 viewership rating, which is a major indicator for advertisers and a measure of channel competitiveness, ranked first in the same time slot and first among Friday entertainment programs with 2.6% (based on the metropolitan area).

The best minute was the scene where Kim Dae-ho goes out on a weekday afternoon, capturing attention with his more relaxed gait after becoming a freelancer. “It’s not that I didn’t have time, but I think I didn’t have any free time,” he said, and his more relaxed appearance recorded a viewership rating of 6.9%.

Kim Dae-ho, who returned to being a freelancer rather than an office worker after about two months, enjoyed the leisurely weekday afternoons and set out to realize his dreams. He said that the boundary between work and rest has become clear after quitting his job, and he couldn’t hide his smile as he escaped the pressure and tension of going to work. Kim Dae-ho‘s relaxed appearance, snoring and taking a nap, made Kian84 say, “It’s not like he declared he‘s free, it’s more like he retired,” making everyone laugh.

Kim Dae-ho cleaned the roof and skylight of ‘Daeho House 2’ to welcome spring, and looked delighted at the lush vivarium that had regained its vitality. He also took a step toward realizing his dreams by studying Spanish and taking guitar lessons that he had put off for a while.

After filling his day with realizing his dreams, Kim Dae-ho returned home and enjoyed his first meal with a spring seasonal special. While making spring dong jeori (pickled spring radish) and preparing vegetable bibimbap, he realized that he had no rice and put in 10 fried eggs to complete his ‘Vegetable bibimbap’, which he inhaled. The Rainbow members made fun of Kim Dae-ho, saying, “I had a lot more free time when I went to buy comic books when I was an announcer,” causing an uproar of laughter.

Kim Dae-ho, who was really enjoying his free time, showed off his passion as a freelancer in the studio. Kian84 teased him, saying, “You were freelance, so why are you being chased like this?” and Jeon Hyun-moo sympathized with Kim Dae-ho‘s passionate efforts, saying, “Freelancers have to be squeezed.”

Ok Ja-yeon showed off her colorful charm in the new ‘Jayeon House’. She continued her unpredictable routine, such as eating lettuce and apples harvested from the plant nursery for breakfast, reading, and playing the piano. Ok Ja-yeon revealed that she was practicing Seonwoo Jung-ah’s ‘Run Away’, but she made everyone laugh with her missing pitch and octave breakdown. Ok Ja-yeon, who is taking lessons, showed off her singing skills in the studio.

Ok Ja-yeon completed a natural meal full of the scent of spring with her amazing cooking skills. For lunch, she made acorn jelly herself with acorn powder sent by her mother, and she created a perfect healthy meal with acorn pancakes with plenty of wild greens and wild chives, and acorn jelly rice, drawing admiration. The Rainbow members even suggested that Ok Ja-yeon should publish a cookbook.

Ok Ja-yeon also surprised everyone by showing off her surprising basketball skills. Having fallen in love with basketball after appearing on a basketball variety show in the past, she caught everyone‘s attention by showing off high-difficulty techniques from two-handed dribbling to layup shots. Especially, when he succeeded in scoring 100% of the balls he threw, Jeon Hyun-moo gave him the nickname ‘Namyangju Ok Jang-hoon (Ok Ja-yeon + Seo Jang-hoon)’, causing laughter.

Kim Dae-ho, who had been reacting sympathetically to Ok Ja-yeon’s daily life, surprised the Rainbow members by creating unexpected chemistry, saying, “I like the great outdoors. Then, with Kian84 joining them, an unexpected love triangle was formed. Expectations are high for what kind of chemistry the three of them will show in the future.

Next week, Key‘s passion for cleaning in his new house and Lee Joo-seung’s spring hike with his dog Coco are foreshadowed, raising expectations.
