In the episode aired on the 4th, the couple made their first-ever appearance together on a variety show after seven years of marriage. As a surprise for their upcoming anniversary, Lee Sang-woo prepared a special dish: a 50-day dry-aged steak, checking on the meat daily for a month while personally sourcing ingredients from a butcher. Kim So-yeon reminisced about their first date nine years ago when he treated her to delicious meat, leading her to realize she could marry someone like him.
During the cooking segment, Kim So-yeon praised her husband, saying he looked incredibly charming, which prompted co-star Ryu Soo-young to express envy. The couple celebrated their anniversary together with the meal they prepared, highlighting their strong bond. While filming 'Quiet Sales,' Kim So-yeon expressed excitement over her return and gratitude toward her husband for supporting her with script reviews.
As actors, both help each other by practicing lines and playing opposite roles during rehearsals. Notably, during the filming of 'Penthouse,' Lee Sang-woo even made a surprise appearance, significantly contributing to Kim So-yeon’s character development. He explained that their collaborations have broadened his acting range, while she expressed that any success she experiences in acting is a shared triumph with him.
