In the 19th episode of Channel A’s ‘My Dad is a Flower in Middle Age’, which will air on the 5th, Lee Ji-hoon, the ’46-year-old flower dad’ who held his daughter Ru-hee in his arms last July, will be shown running around sweating profusely as he prepares for his mother-in-law, who is six years older than him, to visit Korea for the first time.
In the broadcast that day, Lee Ji-hoon drives out to pick up his mother-in-law at the airport. While his Japanese wife Ayane, who is 14 years younger than him, is busy taking care of their newborn daughter, he goes out alone to pick up his mother-in-law, bringing heartwarming feelings.
Then, Lee Ji-hoon is happy to see his mother-in-law, and the ‘flower daddies’ watching in the studio are surprised and say, “You look younger than I thought?” Lee Ji-hoon explains, “Actually, my mother-in-law and I have a six-year age difference,” and “(My mother-in-law) gave birth to Ayane when she was 20.” Kim Won-jun, a ’52-year-old flower daddy’, is surprised and makes everyone burst into laughter by responding with surprise, “Then she’s the same age as me?”
Ayane’s mother-in-law talks to Lee Ji-hoon through a translation app. However, as the awkward atmosphere continues, the ‘flower daddies’ become restless and nervous. Lee Ji-hoon explains, “It’s because it’s the first time we’re alone without my wife,” but Shin Sung-woo immediately gives him an earnest warning, “Put on a song!” and makes the studio burst into laughter.
After that, the mother-in-law ignores her daughter and only looks at her granddaughter Ruhee. Ayane is upset and says, “Mom doesn’t even make eye contact with me.” Ayane’s mother tells her, “I’ll make you a meal,” and cooks Ayane’s “soul food,” hamburger steak and braised tofu. Ayane, who finally gets to eat Japanese home-cooked food from her mother, surprises and touches everyone, showing off an unusually explosive eating show.
Afterwards, Lee Ji-hoon’s mother, who lives downstairs, visits, and the in-laws meet. In particular, the two, despite their age difference of over 30 years, continue a lively conversation about the postpartum care culture of both countries through a ‘translator app’, creating a friendly atmosphere.
Also, after leaving Ruhee with his mother for the sake of his mother-in-law and Ayane, Lee Ji-hoon takes the lead in a tour of Seongsu-dong, the ‘hot place paradise’, but since it is a day with a ‘heat wave warning’, his mother-in-law soon becomes exhausted. Lee Ji-hoon, who laments, “I picked the wrong day”, starts a special event for his mother-in-law, who is a fan of the drama ‘Please Marry My Husband’ so much that she watches it over and over again. He uses the ‘acquaintance chance’ to connect a video call between the male lead in the drama and his mother-in-law. At her son-in-law’s suggestion for a video call, the mother-in-law jumps up from her seat and asks, “Is it Na In-woo?” In an instant, curiosity grows about who the main character of the video call that turned his 52-year-old mother-in-law into a girl is.
Also, Ayane’s mother-in-law orders tteokbokki, pig’s feet, and chicken feet, encouraged by Ayane Lee Ji-hoon’s explanation that “in Korea, you can eat a late-night snack even at 2 in the morning.” In particular, it is said that he was shocked by the visual and bones of chicken feet, which he had never seen before.
‘My Dad is a Flower in Middle Age’ will air at 9:30 PM today.
