South Korea’s top Chinese cuisine chef, Ye Kyung-rae, is known for his strict culinary principles. However, on the TV CHOSUN show ‘Dad and I,’ airing on June 18 at 10 PM, viewers will get an intimate look at his relationship with his son, Ye Min, who works as his sous-chef.
In the upcoming episode, Ye Min presents a new dish, only to face cold rejection from his father. Ye Kyung-rae delivers a harsh critique, saying, ‘It wasn’t worth doing it that way.’ Ye Min, clearly frustrated, responds, ‘I want to know what I did wrong, but he only criticizes without teaching.’ Their tense exchange leaves viewers eager to see if the father’s tough love hides a deeper lesson.
Meanwhile, last week’s episode of ‘Dad and I’ featured actor and shaman Lee Geon-joo, drawing public attention for sharing emotional family struggles. He revealed a painful history with his estranged father, who had demanded money and made threats, leading to a decade-long estrangement. After the broadcast, Lee thanked TV host Jun Hyun-moo, humorously remarking, ‘I’m really ‘hot’ these days!’
Beyond the sharp critiques in Ye Kyung-rae and Ye Min’s kitchen, the show promises to delve into their true father-son bond. Will Ye Min gain his father’s approval, and what lessons will unfold in their culinary journey? Viewers are eager to find out.
