'Dad and I' brought about a dramatic reunion between Lee Geon-joo, known as 'Sundori', and the mother who had been unknown to him for 44 years, reviving the deep emotion and impact of season 1.
The show 'Dad and I', airing every Tuesday at 10 p.m. on TV CHOSUN, unravels the intertwined stories of various families and their processes of harmony, leading to empathy and communication across generations. The transition from a 'problematic family' marked by miscommunication and misunderstanding to a 'wonderful family' characterized by communication and harmony showcases families that provide viewers with emotional gratification and healing, evoking a strong response. In particular, the appearance of South Korea's top stars spanning generations, who reveal their previously unknown family histories and face them honestly, offers many an opportunity to reflect once again on the meaning of family.
In season 1, 'K-daughter representative' Lee Seung-yeon revealed the existence of her two mothers: the biological mother who gave birth to her and the adoptive mother who raised her, and after 53 years, melted away the troubles in her heart through the reunion with her biological parents. The process of 'divorce bachelor' Baek Il-seop restoring his relationship with his daughter after seven years of estrangement and expressing his clumsy yet deep feelings left a significant impact and led to 'Dad and I' achieving its highest ratings. While 'ultimate puzzle' father and son Jang Gwang and Jang Young appeared to have no room for improvement due to deep-rooted conflicts, they ultimately confirmed each other's sincerity and achieved remarkable growth.
In season 2, 'actor and shaman' Lee Geon-joo and 'Chinese cuisine master' Lu Ching Lai have taken over the baton. Lu Ching Lai, who began working at the age of 15 and became self-made, expressed dissatisfaction towards his son Yeomin, saying he is 'too dependent.' In response, Yeomin stated, 'I have never considered my dad as a teacher,' leading to a tense standoff, raising curiosity about how their relationship will unfold. Lee Geon-joo poured out her resentment and sorrow regarding her parents who left when she was 2 years old, moving many to tears. In the last broadcast, she dramatically reunited with her biological mother, whom she had never known or seen for 44 years, bringing many to tears. The show 'Dad and I' will continue to explore the aftermath of Lee Geon-joo's reunion with her mother last week and the stories that have been kept hidden for 44 years. There is growing anticipation and interest in whether Lee Geon-joo and Lu Ching Lai's family can untangle the complicated threads and open the locks of their hearts to move forward.
Meanwhile, the 'love-hate father-daughter' duo of Lee Seung-yeon, which colored season 1 with emotion, returns for season 2. In the released preview video, Lee Seung-yeon's mother, who raised her from the age of 4, shocked viewers with a declaration of 'divorce bomb.' The story of Lee Seung-yeon's family, which finds itself in crisis, can be followed every Tuesday at 10 p.m. on TV CHOSUN 'Dad and I'.
