SBS 'Biseojin' made a spectacular start from its first broadcast.
On the 3rd, SBS 'My Too Prickly Manager - Biseojin' (hereinafter 'Biseojin') recorded a household rating of 5.4% (Nielsen Korea metropolitan area), and a target rating of 1.5% for the 2049 demographic, surpassing all other programs aired at the same time, including documentaries, entertainment, and dramas, to take the overall first place. The peak rating during the broadcast soared to 6.7%, marking the highest viewership for a new SBS entertainment program this year.
In this episode, before starting their manager activities in earnest, Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu received a guideline from Lee Su-ji's actual manager. The unusual requests included prioritizing food procurement, preparing finger foods and handheld fans, and even checking for white spots and sweat stains.
Upon confirming this, Lee Seo-jin bluntly asked Lee Su-ji, "Do you often have white spots?" which flustered her. In response, Lee Su-ji said, "I only eat candy when filming commercials," and added, "If we talk about white spots, everyone will just talk about my white spots," eliciting laughter.
The most talked-about scene of the day was the eating broadcast of sundae soup in the car. Choosing sundae soup for lunch, Lee Su-ji laid out a takeout container and insisted on eating while in the moving vehicle. Seeing this, Lee Seo-jin remarked, "Eating sundae soup in a car is like a stunt performance. I can't even imagine eating sundae soup in a car," expressing his disbelief.
Especially when Lee Su-ji asked, "Could you please have some of the soup?" Lee Seo-jin even showcased 'soup serving' by drinking the soup himself, adding to the humor. In an interview, he joked, "Only green onions come in, not meat," causing a burst of laughter.
An episode involving coffee on the way to a hair salon also became a topic of discussion. When Lee Su-ji requested a decaf iced latte, Kim Kwang-kyu ran to buy the coffee himself. Upon seeing Kim Kwang-kyu return drenched in sweat, Lee Su-ji felt embarrassed, saying, "It feels like I sent my parents on an errand."
Nevertheless, it was Lee Seo-jin who took on the role of handing over the coffee, leading Kim Kwang-kyu to complain, "I ran here sweating, and you're the one handing it over?" which generated more laughter.
During the subsequent self-content filming, the generational gap was starkly revealed. Lee Su-ji, transformed into her alter ego 'Ham-bugi', passionately explained her world view and showcased her rap skills, but Lee Seo-jin was left puzzled, asking, "Is the body a weapon?" while Kim Kwang-kyu attempted excessive camera movements, only to be told, "That's an old style."
Feeling frustrated, Lee Su-ji expressed, "It feels like a teacher is scolding me in the staff room. It's like, 'Why did you get such grades?'" adding to the humor.
Wrapping up the day with a gathering, Lee Seo-jin encouraged Lee Su-ji, saying, "Congratulations on shooting many commercials these days. You are the top." Lee Su-ji candidly replied, "I know that this has an end, so I'm trying to make the most of this time. I understand that there is an expiration date."
Lee Seo-jin offered heartfelt advice, saying, "Because you have built up a lot over time, you can endure well. If someone who hasn't built anything suddenly becomes successful, various problems arise," creating a warm atmosphere.
Meanwhile, SBS 'Biseojin' will air every Friday at 11:10 PM starting from the second episode. The second 'My Star' will feature actress Um Ji-won.
