Please look forward to 'どーする? ごはん SEASON2'!' When asked about his most memorable moment during filming in Japan, JinJin said, 'Inuyama Castle was personally the most impressive. The view from the castle was so beautiful that I still remember it.' When asked about the tastiest food he had while filming in Japan, JinJin replied, 'The curry udon in a Tokoname-yaki bowl was the most delicious. The taste of the curry was very good, and I felt a deeper flavor because it was in pottery, so it remains the most memorable.' Sumipon (Takakura Sumire), who plays An Tsukishima, commented, 'The atmosphere on set was very warm, and I was able to approach it with peace of mind from the first day. Even in the casual 'meal' scenes, natural conversations arose with the cast, making it feel like we were in the world of the drama even when the camera wasn't rolling. I could feel the staff carefully creating each moment of the eating scenes nearby, and it was a wonderful time. Also, the filming took place in Aichi, my hometown, which made me very happy. It's a drama that will warm your heart and make you want to eat with someone after watching it. I hope you can savor it slowly!' Miho Miyazaki, who plays Mai Tsukishima, commented, 'I'm Miho Miyazaki, playing the role of Mai Tsukishima. This time, I have many lines in Korean, and I practiced a lot for the pronunciation. JinJin-san gave me various advice during filming, which was very reassuring. I was also happy to be involved in such a work since I had a period of activity in Korea. Please watch it a lot!' Masato Yoshihara (BOYS AND MEN), who plays Masato, commented, 'I was first surprised by how well JinJin-san's Japanese had improved! Our conversations during breaks were lively, and I think we became closer as friends, adding depth to our roles! Don't miss the upgraded SEASON2, with luxurious guests and delicious food!' Masayuki Furuya, who plays Hiroshi the bakery manager, commented, 'I've been active as an MC for about 30 years, but this time, I was honored to receive a role with proper lines as an actor. Moreover, I am just grateful to share time in the world of drama with JinJin-san, with whom I've worked many times since my debut. You should be able to feel the warmth he brings to the filming set throughout the drama. I hope you enjoy the atmosphere he creates rather than my acting.' Broadcast information: '오늘은 뭐묵지?
