Or Superman is Back....
I present to you... this South Korean reality show that's been around for almost one year. I believe I started watching it during the spring of this year. This is a reality show about celebrity fathers taking care of their children with the absence of their wives for 48 hours AKA 2 days. It's been of one of my favorite shows that I've been keeping up with lately. It's hilarious, heartwarming and very adoring. My boyfriend watches it; my family and a few of my friends. We all look forward to new episodes every Sunday!
Now I haven't watched the "pilot" episodes before. I just started at episode one where these four fathers are the starting main cast. Let me introduce you!
This is Daniel Armand Lee AKA Tablo and his 4-5 year old daughter, Lee Haru, which means "day". Tablo is a hip hop artist with his group, Epik High, currently under YG Entertainment. He's probably the youngest out of the fathers so he's pretty hip and youthful. I don't know how to describe the genuine love he has for his daughter but he treats her like a princess and like a best friend. In the beginning, he tried very hard to have Haru open up her heart for him because she was very timid child. In the end, Haru opens up and depends on her father. His love is a one-of-a-kind, I can't emphasize it enough. He teaches her kindness, creativity, courage, and love. His effort shows when Haru shares and when she's caring around other kids. Her love for animals is very cute. She loves fishes and wild animals. I also have to say that she is a very unique and chic child. She doesn't necessarily like the average things that a little girl would like. Watching her interact with her YG uncles and aunts is very entertaining because G-Dragon is her favorite while Taeyang tries to win her love.
This is Lee Hwi Jae and his twins, Seoeun & Seojun. We meet them when they're less than one year old. At first, it was very difficult for me to differentiate the twins but it came easier later. They're not identical, by the way. I've never heard of Hwijae before but he's an actor and MC host? Anyways, in the beginning, before they could walk and such, it was very hard for Hwijae because Seoeun's clingyness whenever he meets new people. And of course, newborns like to wake up in the middle of the night, so that was a major issue. These two were a handful. Now they can walk and run around and they are just adorable. Seoeun, on the left, is the older one; meanwhile, Seojun, on the right, is the younger on. I love how they fight over toys with one another because Hwijae actually encourages it because Hwijae is an athlete so he would like his sons to become athletes. Therefore, he wants them to learn how to be competitive. Good luck, Seoeun & Seojun!
Probably the world's favorite, Choo Sung Hoon AKA Yoshihiro Akiyama & his 2-3 year old daughter, Choo Sarang. Her name means "love" in Korean and you cannot resist this little girl! My boyfriend is in love with her. Every time she comes on screen, he gives a "Awww!" Haha. Choo Sung Hoon and his family are actually Korean-Japanese citizens. His parents live in Osaka, while he resides in Tokyo with his model wife, Shiho Yano. He is also a MMA and judo fighter so throughout the show, you can see his built and sculpted body. Yum. Now, this father treats his daughter like a princess. She gets almost everything and eats everything she wants. This little girl can eat! And very adorably at that. She kinda has some sass to her some times. I think it's very humble that Sunghoon teaches her Korean roots. Although, Sarang can be all cute, I believe she has a very timid side and I hope one day she overcomes that. I believe my favorite thing about this family is whenever they reveal their family history and how far they've come. I also enjoy learning about Sunghoon's logic as a father.
This is Jang Hyun Sung and his two sons: Junu (11-12) & Junseo (7-8). They are no longer filming this show due to his busy schedule filming a new drama. I really enjoyed watching this family grow and without them was very sad to hear. Although Hyunsung didn't excel in cooking and is a very goofy father, he tries his best to give his ear to his sons who are growing up in a very important phase. He teaches them how to be proper men and teaches them to be confidence in themselves. He takes them through rock-climbing courses, career-exploring, horseback riding and traveling. He tries to provide for his sons. This is definitely a very heartwarming and humble family that I'll miss forever.
Introducing a new family - This is Song Il Gook and his triplets: Daehan, Minguk, & Manse. Together actually means "Republic of Korea, Hooray". Pretty creative there Il-gook. I thought this show wouldn't be the same without Jang Hyunsung's family but this family made up for it. I fell in love immediately with them because they were adorable and Il-gook was a pretty good father. He is patient with his kids and tries his hardest to keep up with them. I love how Daehan, the oldest, acts like the oldest. Minguk, the middle, is the charmest and gets bullied by the oldest and youngest. Manse, the youngest, is free-spirited and bratty. I think Il-gook is probably the most typical father because he does the same mistakes that a parent would- like dropping your kid and they bang their head on the floor. Very normal :) One of my favorite things so far is watching the kids learn new words... and guess who they learn them from? Their father. Like "bad kid" or "bad papa". It is sooooo adorable! I'm looking forward for them to stay very long.
And lastly.... another new family: Do Kyung Wan & his newborn son, Do Tae-myeong AKA Kkom-Kkom. This is his wife, Jang Yoon Jung. He should be about two months now however we meet them when she was still 9 months pregnant. We see how his family his and how loving they treat their daughter-in-law. I see them as a goofy couple. I also adore her loud obnoxious laugh because I'm like that too. Haha. It was very touching to witness the moment she gave birth. Okay, they don't show the gory stuff but the before-and-after. I was like tearing up when they were emotional. I'm looking forward to Kkom-kkom growing up and Kyungwan learning to be a father.

Well, that is all of the fathers from this show. I know I'm missing Kim Jung Tae and Yakkung but they didn't stay long and I didn't get a good impression from them. I hope you start watching this show and enjoy it. It's definitely a treasure-kind-of-a-show. Kind of like how much I enjoyed Family Outing. I know I'm not father nor mother, but this show gives a lot of insight on having children and becoming a better individual :)
