Lee Hyo-ri and Lee Sang-soon of "Mongle Counseling Center" will have their first meeting with young people with developmental disabilities who dream of love.
SBS special 'My Heart Is Monkey' (hereinafter referred to as 'Monkey Counseling Center') will premiere at 11:05 p.m. on the 8th, making the first romance in the life of young people with developmental disabilities. It is a new challenge by producer Ko Hye-rin, who won the Baeksang Arts Awards for "Hakjeon and the Behind Kim Min-ki," and Lee Hyo-ri and Lee Sang-soon, a 14-year-old couple who have been well-known as representative parakeets in the entertainment industry, are serving as "counselors" to help romance young people with developmental disabilities who dream of love (hereinafter referred to as "Mr. Mongle"), signaling a pleasant synergy. In particular, during the production of the theme song of "Mongle Counseling Center," Lee Hyo-ri sang the song presented by Noh Young-sim, the music director of "Strange Lawyer Woo Young-woo," produced by Lee Sang-soon, and provided full support, drawing keen attention to how the project, which was created with the support of many people, will resonate.
In the first episode of the "Mongle Counseling Center," Lee Hyo-ri and Lee Sang-soon will meet for the first time with three Mongle seeds who will grow together through a special love counseling center. Of the 93,000 young adults with developmental disabilities who wanted to be in a relationship but didn't have a chance, 500 applicants applied to the dating counseling center. Lee Hyo-ri and Lee Sang-soon looked at the postcards sent by the applicants before their first face-to-face meeting with Mongle, and said, "I want to touch them, too. To someone you like. Sweetly," he reveals his soft heart in his pure handwriting. For a while, Lee Hyo-ri expressed concern, saying, "Can we do mentoring?" and shared a grim eye contact with Lee Sang-soon, and re-armed her mind, drawing laughter.
The three Mongles, whom Lee Hyo-ri and Lee Sang-soon met on the same day, catch the eye with their different charms. Oh Ji-hyun, who has an intellectual disability, makes the viewer's endorphins soar with a sharp speech and a sunny smile, and Yoo Ji-hoon, who has an autism spectrum, makes viewers laugh with innocence even in a knife-like routine. In addition, Jeong Ji-won, an intellectually disabled young man who works as an actor, melts his heart by showing off his clumsy but romantic side as if he came out of a drama.
Among them, Lee Sang-soon, who faced Oh Ji-hyun for the first time, was unexpectedly humiliated and drew attention. Lee Sang-soon, who replaced the role of a blind date man who applied for an unwanted after-sales service, said, "Ji-hyun, let's meet one more time," and then said to Oh Ji-hyun, "No." I'm sorry," and Lee Hyo-ri said, "Good job." While applauding, "Good job!" the message is that she laughs at the appearance of her husband Lee Sang-soon, who was "first confession of 0 confession" in front of her.
On the other hand, Lee Hyo-ri carefully asks, "Do you know us, Ji-hoon?" at her first meeting with Yoo Ji-hoon, and Yoo Ji-hoon says, "I know Lee Hyo-ri. It is rumored that making Lee Hyo-ri happy by saying, "I've seen her" briefly, "I don't think I've seen her before," and making everyone around her laugh. In addition, Jeong Ji-won, who continued to sing "Wow" as soon as she saw Lee Hyo-ri and Lee Sang-soon, also made the two fall down by shouting "I don't know" with a bright expression when asked by Lee Hyo-ri, "Do you know us?"
Meanwhile, "My Heart Is Monkey - Monkey Counseling Center" will premiere at 11:05 p.m. on Sunday, the 8th.
