Lee Young-pyo brought a lot of laughter to viewers with his silly charm through ‘It’s a relief to get some rest ‘.
Episode 48 of MBC entertainment program’ It’s Thankful That You Got a Good Rest ‘(directed by Kim Myung-jin, Shin Hyun-bin, Lee Jun-beom, Kim Ki-ho / written by Kwon Jeong-hee / hereinafter referred to as’ It’s Thankful That You Got a Good Rest ‘) that aired on the 12th depicted the story of running a restaurant on an uninhabited island with leader Lee Young-pyo who came to catch Ahn Jung-hwan, his chosen workers Seol Ki-hyun, Jo Hye-ryun, Jo Woo-jong, and chef Jung Ho-young.According to Nielsen Korea, a viewership ratings research company, the broadcast on that day recorded the highest figure in the 2049 viewership ratings, a key indicator that measures household viewership and channel competitiveness and topicality, among all Monday entertainment programs aired on the same day, proving that it is the strongest Monday entertainment program.
On this day, Lee Young-pyo, who took charge of the uninhabited island restaurant, declared his intention, saying, “I can do better than Ahn Jung-hwan.” The workers he chose were Seol Ki-hyeon, who was in charge of physical fitness, Jo Hye-ryun, who was tireless energizer, Jo Woo-jong, who worked together as a commentator, and Jeong Ho-yeong, a Japanese food expert.They expressed their determination by agreeing with Lee Young-pyo’s declaration, “Let’s go catch Ahn Jung-hwan.”
However, as soon as they arrived at the island, the workers ‘trust in Lee Young-pyo began to wane.The workers carried the luggage under the leadership of Jeong Ho-yeong on behalf of Lee Young-pyo, who was wandering around, not knowing how to get off the ship.Feeling a sense of crisis, Lee Young-pyo said, “I’ve prepared a big hit,” and led the workers to the fishing site he had prepared.
The place they arrived was the fishing site for the most popular raw fish in Korea, the flatfish.Before the fishing began, Lee Young-pyo was confident, saying, “I am better than Ahn Jung-hwan when it comes to fishing.” In fact, flatfish large enough to cover a person and sleep on were caught.Lee Young-pyo was so excited that everyone could take a commemorative photo holding a flatfish, and he shouted, “Are you watching Ahn Jung-hwan?”
In the following fishing, Lee Young-pyo caused laughter by catching only rocks with a ‘missing touch’ instead of the ‘missing leg step’ that was his specialty when he was an active soccer player.The sea cucumber that he had difficulty catching was also ‘petite size’, which added to the embarrassment.However, thanks to Lee Young-pyo’s luck, Seol Ki-hyun, Jo Hye-ryeon, and Jo Woo-jong’s active performance, they succeeded in catching precious seafood such as candle shells, horned conches, and octopuses.
The meal preparation began in earnest, and Lee Young-pyo was in charge of preparing the octopus.He made a fuss about everything from preparing the octopus to boiling it, which eventually angered Chef Jeong Ho-yeong.Jeong Ho-yeong expressed his anger by comparing the two, saying, “An Seo prepared everything himself, but Lee Young-pyo has to explain everything from start to finish.”
The first menu prepared by Jeong Ho-yeong, leaving behind the ridiculous leader Lee Young-pyo, was ‘Daegwang-eo Candlestick Snail Salad’.While cleaning the daegwang-eo, Jeong Ho-yeong gave the workers the fin part, and Ahn Jung-hwan said, “I like that part too, but I can’t eat it at home because Hye-won eats it all,” and envied him, saying, “That’s why they eat it like that on the island.” The daegwang-eo sashimi cleaned by Jeong Ho-yeong, the candlestick snails cleaned by Lee Young-pyo and Seol Ki-hyun, and the hidden menu potato wraps that Lee Young-pyo personally prepared were added together, and the first menu was completed without a hitch.
Next, we prepared ‘Chili Crab’, which is deep-fried crab covered in noodles and eaten with sweet and sour chili sauce.However, while preparing the second menu, there was an accident where water came into the restaurant site that Lee Young-pyo had chosen.Lee Young-pyo and Seol Ki-hyun hurriedly went out and had to move the table.Nevertheless, the taste of ‘Chili Crab’, which boasts chewy meat reminiscent of lobster, increased customer satisfaction.
The last dish was ‘Seafood Doenjang Noodles in a Cauldron’, which was made by boiling large flounder bones in a broth with various seafood and kalguksu noodles.The rich broth tasted like a spring tonic, and both the guests and workers enjoyed their meal by inhaling it.Although there were many twists and turns, the workers forgot the hardships of labor with a bowl of delicious noodles and warmly ended the event by shouting, “Lee Young-pyo is the leader after all.”
Meanwhile, the preview released at the end of the broadcast heightened the anticipation by foreshadowing the unexpected performance of Lee Young-pyo, who was known as the most ridiculous leader in history.MBC ‘It’s Good to Get a Good Rest’ airs every Monday at 9 p.m.
