]"Life Also Needs a Script" will share stories about the drama "Jeonwon Ilgi" and health. The broadcast timing of "Life Also Needs a Script" coincides with news of the passing of the late lead actor Choi Bul-am from "Jeonwon Ilgi," evoking a sense of heaviness.

MBC's "Life Also Needs a Script" is a new format health documentary program that naturally addresses health issues through the medium of MBC classic dramas that have long remained in viewers' memories. Actor Song Il-guk and announcer Park Ji-min host the show.

]"Jeonwon Ilgi," which aired for a total of 1,088 episodes over 22 years and two months from 1980, depicted the joys and sorrows of the people of Yangchon-ri and won the love of the entire nation. It is also remembered as a work that blurred the boundary between drama and reality, to the point where some viewers believed Choi Bul-am and Kim Hye-ja, who played the Chairman Kim couple, were an actual married couple.

For MC Song Il-guk as well, "Jeonwon Ilgi" is a work with a special connection. When his youthful appearance from when he appeared in Yangchon-ri during his rookie days was revealed, the studio buzzed with comments like "So fresh" and "Really young." However, Song Il-guk himself unexpectedly revealed an unexpected connection, saying, "Actually, my mother appeared before I did."

In addition to this, when thinking of "Jeonwon Ilgi," one cannot overlook actor Kim Soo-mi, who guarded Yangchon-ri as Il-yong's mother for 22 years. However, she passed away in October 2024 due to hyperglycemic shock, leaving many people with a sense of regret.

Blood sugar problems often occur without clear symptoms. Mother Lee Eun-sim (Kim Hye-ja) in "Jeonwon Ilgi" was the same. Lee Eun-sim (Kim Hye-ja), who attributed her lethargy and dizziness to age, received a diagnosis of diabetes at the hospital. According to the "Diabetes Fact Sheet 2024" by the Korean Diabetes Association, in reality, one in four diabetic patients aged 30 and above lives without knowing their condition.

In response, Kim Si-wan, a specialist in family medicine, focused on the relationship between grip strength and diabetes. As the cast members directly participated in grip strength measurements, it can be confirmed through the broadcast whether Song Il-guk, who has completed marathon full courses and triathlons, exceeded the average for his age group.

Blood sugar management does not end with just giving up junk food. This is because even a slight change in the composition of the daily meal table can alter post-meal blood sugar responses. At this time, lupini beans, called "diabetes beans," are gaining attention. In today's broadcast, it is planned to examine how much post-meal blood sugar actually changes when eating lupini beans instead of white rice, along with the results and easy-to-follow lupini bean recipes that can be done at home.

Episode 3 of Season 2 of "Life Also Needs a Script" will air on the 31st at 8:10 a.m.

Meanwhile, Choi Bul-am passed away around 10 p.m. on the 29th while receiving inpatient treatment at a hospital in Gwanseogu, Seoul. It was reported that after undergoing lumbar disc surgery in March of last year, Choi Bul-am's mobility became impaired, and his health subsequently deteriorated rapidly.
