'Seasoned man' offered fun to viewers with Kim Sang-ho's healing story.

On the 27th, the first broadcast of the new TV CHOSUN entertainment show 'Seasoned man_ just call me' (directed by Kim Boo-kyung/written by Kim Ran-joo, hereinafter 'Seasoned man') depicted Kim Sang-ho and Cha Woo-min heading to Gwanmaedo, known as the pearl of the southernmost Dadohae in Korea. Kim Sang-ho, a 32-year actor and 13-year farmer, moved his base from his garden to the sea and officially started his life in Gwanmaedo.

The national viewer rating for the broadcast was 2.1%, with the peak rating reaching 2.8% (Nielsen Korea, nationwide), indicating a smooth start.

Kim Sang-ho arrived at Jindo Harbor with an excited heart. After completing all preparations before heading to Gwanmaedo, he was surprised when fixed panel member Cha Woo-min made a surprise appearance while waiting for the boat after enjoying brunch. However, after checking Cha Woo-min's cooking skills and fishing rod, he expressed, 'It's reassuring. It's like having an army,' raising expectations for the chemistry between the two right from the start.

Even before boarding the passenger ship to Gwanmaedo, Kim Sang-ho and Cha Woo-min began to show their unique synergy. As soon as they arrived at Gwanmaedo, they decided to make barley bibimbap, and when informed that the barley needed to soak for two hours, they were momentarily disheartened, but Cha Woo-min proposed, 'Shall we soak it while we go?' and they immediately put the idea into action, showcasing fantastic teamwork.

Upon entering Gwanmaedo, Kim Sang-ho and Cha Woo-min could not hide their smiles while expressing excitement at the beautiful scenery. Upon arriving at Gwanho Village, which meets the sea along the coastline, the two admired the view from their base overlooking the ocean. In particular, Kim Sang-ho expressed satisfaction after seeing the greenhouse in the front yard and the adjacent garden, which resembled his garden in Ansung.

Starting their life in Gwanmaedo in earnest, they began cooking breakfast themselves. From the first day, Kim Sang-ho displayed his friendly nature by obtaining homemade doenjang from the village head's house, while Cha Woo-min showcased his unabashed cooking skills as a 'seasoned chef.' 'If I follow my recipe and have time, it will taste good. I love cooking,' Cha Woo-min noted, exhibiting skilled techniques right from the first dish and raising expectations for his future performances.

The warm harmony with Gwanmaedo residents also stood out. After finishing their meal, the two laid on a pavilion, enjoying their earthly paradise, before joining the residents to work in the mugwort field, quickly growing closer through witty exchanges. In particular, Kim Sang-ho was completely captivated by the charming humor of the village head, saying, 'The village head is not someone who should be in Gwanmaedo. If I bring him out, my livelihood will be at risk.'

The residents were equally enchanted by Kim Sang-ho's charm. Watching Kim Sang-ho work diligently without a word, the residents praised him with the Gwanmaedo-style humor, saying, 'You do well. You're a pro.' They even named a big rock in Gwanmaedo 'Chunsan' after Kim Sang-ho's pen name, suggesting he should come live in Gwanmaedo, saying things like, 'Let’s go catch some meat together,' and even promised, 'I'll give you a house.' They quickly made plans for a gathering.

Following this, Kim Sang-ho and Cha Woo-min enjoyed a gathering with the residents at the harbor. When the residents welcomed them with freshly caught 6 kg flounder, Cha Woo-min was astonished, saying, 'This is unbelievable!' Afterwards, Cha Woo-min even demonstrated his skills by filleting the flounder, while Kim Sang-ho took on the role of Cha Woo-min's assistant, humorously remarking, 'You're good at taking instructions.'

Kim Sang-ho and Cha Woo-min, amazed by the fragrant seasonal feast from the sea, showcased a storm of eating while chatting with the residents. Kim Sang-ho expressed, 'I didn't expect to be this happy on the first night. Coming to Gwanmaedo, I imagined this, but I didn’t know I would be this happy on the first night. I'm so grateful. I want to introduce everything about Gwanmaedo,' proving his adaptability by spontaneously singing and performing skits with Cha Woo-min.

The appearance of the first guests, Yoon Gye-sang and Park Ji-hwan, at the end of the broadcast also heightened expectations. They revealed their excitement, saying, 'It's good to go with Sang-ho hyung. I'm excited,' especially Park Ji-hwan, who has maintained a friendship with Kim Sang-ho for 27 years as a junior in the theater troupe, expressing affection by calling him 'still a healthy and beautiful senior.'

Upon their arrival, Kim Sang-ho and Cha Woo-min ran out in joy to warmly greet Yoon Gye-sang and Park Ji-hwan. With their exceptional loyalty, it raised curiosity about how these four men would bond in Gwanmaedo and what chemistry they would exhibit.

Meanwhile, the harmless and genuine healing fairy Kim Sang-ho's island life is captured in the middle-aged road variety show 'Seasoned man' on TV CHOSUN, which airs every Friday night at 10 p.m.
