Chaeyeon and Mijoo had a special emotional journey in Otaru, a port city in Hokkaido that holds romance.
The MBC entertainment program ‘Reaching You’, which will air on the 19th at 11:40 PM, features an analog emotional travelogue co-produced by MBC and Japan's ABC. The ‘travel recommender’ records an audio guide and then delivers it to the ‘traveler’, depicting a journey of sharing memories ‘separately yet together’ in the same place at different times.
In the broadcast on the 19th, the famous ‘sister collector’ in the entertainment industry, Lee Chaeyeon, embarks on a ‘separate yet together’ journey with her lovely sister Mijoo. The travelogue captures the journey prepared by travel recommender Lee Chaeyeon for traveler Mijoo in Hokkaido, Japan - Otaru.
Lee Chaeyeon prepares for the trip with the desire to strengthen her friendship with Mijoo. Known for her nickname ‘sister collector’, Chaeyeon boasts a glamorous network that spans both acting and singing, and she looks forward to a journey of connection with Mijoo, another sister in her network.
The theme of the trip that Chaeyeon prepared for Mijoo is ‘Chaeyeon reaching Mijoo, Mijoo reaching Chaeyeon’. Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan, is the perfect travel destination for Chaeyeon, who loves the sea and hot springs. Excitedly, she plans a route filled with her preferences in the romantic port city of Otaru and records the audio guide with a voice full of anticipation.
▶ What made Mijoo explode with anger over the Otaru restaurant menu prepared by Chaeyeon?
The journey of the two, who were connecting in the same place at different times, hit a snag during lunchtime. Mijoo encounters the Otaru restaurant menu prepared by Chaeyeon. Since the trip is tailored to Chaeyeon’s tastes, she sees food that suits her palate. However, Mijoo soon leaves an explosive video message for Chaeyeon. What was the lunch menu that Mijoo couldn’t handle, reflecting Chaeyeon’s preferences?
At the ice cream shop they visit next, Mijoo discovers Chaeyeon’s hidden gluttonous side. While listening to the pre-recorded audio guide by Chaeyeon, they share their favorite menu items among various options. Additionally, Mijoo shows off her appetite, matching Chaeyeon’s, as they enjoy desserts, confirming their commonalities.
▶ Chaeyeon’s concern, empathizing even when not together
What Chaeyeon wanted to share with Mijoo continued until dinner. While on a canal cruise that offers a panoramic view of Otaru’s romantic night scenery, Mijoo shares her impression that it feels like they are together while conversing with Chaeyeon’s audio guide. Mijoo, who felt like they were traveling together all day, empathizes with Chaeyeon after hearing her concerns left in the audio guide.
At the place where they conclude their journey, Mijoo encounters a special gift that Chaeyeon had prepared in advance and leaves a video message filled with gratitude, hinting at a journey they will take together. The journey that contained Chaeyeon’s wish to reach Mijoo, will Mijoo’s desire to reach Chaeyeon be fulfilled once again?
