1. [+732 / -11] I wish Kwang Kyu hyung came out more
2. [+600 / -8] When Kwang Kyu-nim comes out, I feel so warmed up and I like it. He's not fake, it's natural, and he matches the purpose of 'I Live Alone' ㅋ I like that you can watch comfortably. I hope he comes out from time to time ♡
3. [+515 / -5] Kyu who came from the stars who's seasoning the grapefruit stew while eating a salmon avocado sandwich ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (t/n: The members joked around and compared Kim Kwang Kyu to Do Min Joon from 'You Who Came from the Stars' because he ordered a grapefruit ade but didn't mix the grapefruit puree so he only drank the carbonated water. He also ordered a bagel sandwich but didn't remember what he ordered so he took a look at the menu again and thought he ordered the salmon avocado sandwich)
4. [+349 / -9] This is 'I Live Alone'! Lately, they've lost touch with their original intention but it feels like the old days because Kwang Kyu hyung came out. It kinda feels like the the show's past that had affection and warmth is being reenacted ^~^
5. [+345 / -9] Please make him a fixed cast member, I watched because of actor Kwang Kyu-nim!!!
6. [+314 / -3] Kwang Kyu-on, were you seasoning the grapefruit stew? 🍲🥄ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I feel bad, the [grapefruit] puree sunk all the way to the bottom ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ (t/n: Kim Kwang Kyu new nickname is 'Kwang Kyu-on'. It's a combo of Kwang Kyu + Léon because when he was carrying his new art supplies and the plant, the members said he looked like Léon from the movie 'Léon: The Professional')

2. [+200 / -4] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He said the yogurt was alright because it was sweet ㅋㅋㅋ He said the barley (granola) was very firm ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Ah seriously, it was so funny and sad when he was taking sips of the grapefruit water ㅠㅠㅠ That's also sweet ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

1. [+103 / -2] It's been a while but Kwang Kyu-nim and Hwasa's episode today was soft and really fun. I was rolling on the floor laughing whenever a drop of ink fell ㅋ I'm past the age of laughing at just fallen leaves ㅋ I blew up whenever he changed papers because a dot of the ink was on it ㅋ
2. [+62 / -2] @ 1:55 - During this part, I seriously laughed without being able to breathe ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+57 / -2] When he brushed the first stroke, I was really amazed~ I was like "wow, wow~" when he did two to three strokes~ I'm not sure if it's because I also do calligraphy but I was tempted by the good brushes ㅋ

10. [+291 / -7] When Hwasa visited Namwon in the past, she treated the elders so well that I thought I should call my grandparents more often but.. I'm tearing up ㅠㅠ
11. [+249 / -6] Even Hwasa is holding back [her tears] but I bursted out in tears ㅠㅠ even the background music.. *sigh* ㅠㅠ

1. [+305 / -4] Why do I tear up every time it overlaps with the moments she was with her grandmother ㅜㅜ Instead, Hwasa is calm but only I'm crying
2. [+267 / -5] It was sadder because she was calm..
3. [+233 / -6] It's harder to be composed when you're sad. It was sadder because she was composed.. I liked it because thanks to Hwasa, I was reminded of my grandma ㅠㅠ
4. [+221 / -5] What Hwasa said was relatable.. It's really nothing but when you start doing things on your own, you begin to think that you're an adult ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (t/n: examples Hwasa gave was driving to her grandma's home by herself, making food)

I held off on watching this episode bc I've already been missing my grandparents so much
not gonna lie, the past year has been mentally and emotionally hard for me and I'm sure many of y'all are going through the same...
This episode made me miss my grandparents even more :(
I was supposed to go see them in 2020 🥺
Hope all of y'all are doing well, stay safe out there 💜
