In the finale of MBC's entertainment show 'Rural Village Lee Jang-woo 2,' broadcast on the 4th, fiancée Jo Hye-won surprised viewers by stepping in as a filming director to support her soon-to-be husband, Lee Jang-woo.

The episode showcased Lee Jang-woo's dedicated efforts to prepare a feast featuring Ganghwa Island's finest treasures. He even invited Michelin-starred chef Fabri, with 15 years of experience, to collaborate on learning about local seasonal greens.

Back at his Seoul home, Lee Jang-woo continued his culinary experiments for new menu development. Jo Hye-won was by his side, not just as a supportive partner, but also as his personal camera operator, capturing his cooking process. She offered culinary advice and was delighted by his creations, exclaiming, "The texture is amazing. It's so delicious."

Lee Jang-woo reciprocated the affection by feeding Jo Hye-won his freshly made sweet potato pancake (Goguma Mukjeon) and even showed thoughtfulness towards her mother, suggesting, "Take this to your mom and grandma." Jo Hye-won also contributed ideas for the next dish, a radish kimchi dumpling soup, recalling past experiences to enhance the flavor profile.

Meanwhile, the couple, who share an 8-year age gap, are set to tie the knot on November 23rd after a seven-year relationship. They first developed feelings for each other in 2018 on the KBS2 drama 'My Only One.' Originally planned for last year, their wedding is finally happening this year.
