Actor Lee Joo-seung begins a precarious cohabitation with his mother’s dog, ‘Coco’.
In the MBC entertainment program ‘I Live Alone’ (directed by Heo Hang, Kang Ji-hee, Park Soo-bin, Lee Kyung-eun, Moon Gi-young), airing on the 24th at 11:10 PM, the first day of cohabitation between Lee Joo-seung and his mother’s dog ‘Coco’ will be revealed.
Lee Joo-seung shares that he will be living with the dog ‘Coco’ for about a month while his mother goes to Vietnam to visit his brother. Following the release of last week’s preview, viewers’ anticipation for this week’s broadcast has skyrocketed due to the unusual chemistry between Lee Joo-seung and ‘Coco’.
Lee Joo-seung introduces Coco by saying, “She’s not a friendly friend,” adding, “It feels like a person has entered the dog’s body.” To help with Coco’s separation anxiety, his mother spent a night at Lee Joo-seung’s house before leaving for Vietnam.
Despite Lee Joo-seung’s earnest calls, Coco ignores him and only looks at his mother, who is preparing to go to the airport. His mother expresses concern, saying, “How are you going to win her over?” as tension builds between Lee Joo-seung and Coco. After a series of lessons from his mother on how to care for Coco, including her favorite blanket, how to shampoo her, and her special diet, they finally get some time alone together.
In a scene where Lee Joo-seung sits naturally on the floor while Coco sits on the sofa looking down at him, the clear hierarchy between them can be observed. Lee Joo-seung candidly shares, “She tends to ignore me,” and adds, “I want to leave home.”
Meanwhile, the uncomfortable sleeping arrangement between Lee Joo-seung and Coco has also been captured. Coco, turning her back to him while trying to sleep, humorously showcases the insurmountable difference in their hierarchy. Although Lee Joo-seung is at the bottom of the hierarchy, he tries hard to play the role of an older brother. He makes a staircase for Coco to get on the bed and prepares a special menu to improve their relationship, raising curiosity about whether it will be effective.
The cohabitation scene between ‘bottom of the hierarchy’ Lee Joo-seung and the dog Coco, who exudes an unusual aura, can be seen in ‘I Live Alone’ airing on the 24th at 11:10 PM.
