According to Nielsen Korea, ‘I Live Alone’ achieved a remarkable audience rating of 8.6% among households in the metropolitan area and a 4.0% rating among 2049 viewers, making it the highest-rated program in its time slot and the top Friday program overall.
One of the standout moments of the episode was when Kian84 experienced a sudden stomachache due to drinking excessive amounts of water during the marathon. This gripping scene garnered a peak viewer rating of 10% per minute and left the audience captivated.
The episode documented Kian84’s two-month preparation for the full marathon course, culminating in the day of the final battle. Joining approximately 6,000 runners from all over the country, Kian84 displayed visible signs of nervousness as he felt the adrenaline coursing through his veins.
Kian84 left no stone unturned in his preparation, donning a striking ‘black and red’ marathon outfit, knee taping, and carrying energy gel. He even brought along his ‘favorite’ drama ‘Taejo Wang Geon’. With the race number tag ‘1114’ pinned to his chest, he uttered determined words, saying, “Let’s do it. The only way is to die.” With the crowd cheering him on, Kian84 embarked on his race.
Initially, Kian84 showcased impressive speed and form, but as he encountered the uphill course, exhaustion set in. Despite shedding 6kg in his marathon preparations, Kian84 expressed regret, believing he should have lost more weight. Plagued by both physical and mental fatigue, Kian84’s mouth grew dry, his hairband soaked in sweat. Undeterred, he pressed on, drinking cold water and taking cold showers.
However, Kian84 was suddenly struck with an unexpected stomachache, raising concerns among the Rainbow members who witnessed his distress. He seemed to have reached his limit and collapsed on the floor, casting doubt over the successful completion of his courageous challenge.
In another segment of the show, Lee Jang-woo, dressed in a suit, headed to MBC for his appearance on ‘Live Tonight’. When he encountered ‘Deputy Director Kim’ Dae-ho Kim in the waiting room, his excitement about indulging in delicious food turned into nervousness. Dae-ho Kim, ever the experienced figure, shared valuable tips with Lee Jang-woo regarding the program and the expression of taste. Lee Jang-woo listened attentively, leaving a lasting impression on him.
Once filming began, despite his nerves, Lee Jang-woo impressed everyone by skillfully guessing the ingredients for the seasoning during the performance of ‘Dr. Chomp’. This pleased Kim Dae-ho, and together, they showcased their chemistry as the ‘Market Prince Combi’ by wrapping and feeding each other ssam.
After completing the filming, Lee Jang-woo and Kim Dae-ho enjoyed a second dinner together. Expressing his affection, Kim Dae-ho revealed, “I like you.” To lighten the atmosphere, he changed into casual clothes, demonstrating his understanding and consideration for the uncomfortable younger Lee Jang-woo. Kim Dae-ho also expressed his connection with all members of the Rainbow through Lee Jang-woo.
Kim Dae-ho shared plans for Season 3 of ‘Hojangmacha’, expressing his willingness to invite Lee Jang-woo to his ‘Daeho House’. Watching this exchange, Kian84 playfully suggested a union between ‘Dae-ho 84’ Kim Dae-ho and himself, as both were born in 1984, causing laughter among the viewers. Whether this anticipated meeting will come to fruition remains to be seen.
Next week, ‘I Live Alone’ will continue to follow Kian84’s marathon challenge with the introduction of a crisis and the appearance of Lee Joo-seung, who was invited to the Busan International Film Festival.
