Life is Easier If You're Handsome-Chapter 284
"...Wow, Donghu really eats well."
Now 27 years old.
Already a full-fledged office worker, yet still an avid fan of Kim Donghu.
Ji Eunbi admired the screen.
"Almost six hours of eating, and even dessert...."
On screen, Kim Donghu was leisurely waiting for dessert.
Of course, at one point, Kim Donghu had said, "If the chefs are tired, I’ll stop."
ㄴAs if? 🤣
ㄴDonghu, do you not realize what it means to build connections with you right now?
ㄴDon’t show such mercy, the chefs came here ready to die
ㄴIn this harsh world for small business owners, meeting you and giving up? Makes no sense 🤣
ㄴLook at their eyes burning with fire 🤣
ㄴThey must be feeling nostalgic about their rookie days 😂
ㄴYeah yeah, Michelin whatever... but who's the opponent? "Kim Donghu"
ㄴThe Batman-related announcement hadn’t even dropped yet, but still 👍
ㄴFact) Even without it, he’s already a world-class legend
ㄴ🙌🙌
The chat reactions pretty much predicted the chefs' answers.
-"No, not tired at all."
ㄴTheir hands shaking 🤣🤣
-"We’re used to this, it’s no problem."
ㄴFact) That chef’s restaurant operating hours are 4 hours
ㄴBut they’ve already been cooking for 6 hours?
ㄴIs this some kind of surgery?
-"Still full of energy! If there’s any dessert you want, just let us know!"
ㄴYeah right, you're really full of energy
ㄴYou just got deployed
ㄴYou do more, you have stamina, you can do it
ㄴDoes success seem far away? It’s right in front of you
ㄴGrab Kim Donghu’s stomach
ㄴRetreat and you fall into ruin, fear and you die!
ㄴDon’t show too much determination, it makes you look weak.
-"I... can still do more."
ㄴChef info) Jeong Seokshin, married, "two sons and one daughter"
ㄴThe weight of a father 🤣🤣🤣🤣
ㄴ??? : If I do this, Donghu’s definitely coming to my restaurant, right?
ㄴI, Jeong Seokshin, will not back down here
ㄴTMI) Seokshin already mortgaged his house to open his restaurant
ㄴLegendary Jeong Seokshin moment
The chefs, even more fired up, prepared Kim Donghu’s dessert.
And from there, the screen began fast-forwarding.
While Donghu was waiting for dessert and chatting, it played at normal speed.
But once he started eating again, the footage sped up.
ㄴThey really didn’t edit anything to prove it’s not staged
ㄴWell yeah, people could think "he ate for 7 hours straight" was a lie
ㄴThat’s not it 😂 these guys don’t get broadcasting at all
ㄴWhat are you talking about?
ㄴIt’s just because it’s Kim Donghu, they fast-forwarded 🤣 not because of staging accusations or anything 🤣
ㄴAh
ㄴDonghu appearing on a variety show after 5 years — you think they’d mess around with that?
ㄴThe moment rumors of Donghu coming back to Korea hit, department heads get bumped up, it's real
ㄴKim Donghu < he’s just a walking jackpot
ㄴImagine if Donghu announced a dome concert — sold out in 20 seconds 👍
How much time passed like that?
Finally.
-"Wow... I’m actually really full now. Thank you for the meal."
Kim Donghu’s words signaling the end of the meal came out.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
The moment he said it, the chefs, their tension released, collapsed into their seats.
Their faces — drained, pure white, as if they'd burned everything.
But they were all smiling, the smiles of those who had given it their all.
And at that very moment.
-"One day, I’ll make sure to visit each of your restaurants personally and properly express my thanks. Really... I’ll never forget those who came today, and I’ll make sure to treat you all properly."
Kim Donghu’s words, rewarding all their hard work, followed.
ㄴHe didn't just say it quietly behind the scenes, he promised it right there on broadcast 🤣🤣🤣🤣
ㄴAs expected, Kim Donghu always gives back
ㄴWow, and the moment he finished eating, he immediately went over to the chefs and bowed his head to thank them
ㄴAs expected, great character from great Donghu
ㄴStarted with signing their aprons, then took photos, then even video calls...
ㄴEven did the Tarzan yell for them, something he really didn’t have to do
ㄴBreaking news) Jeong Seokshin burst into tears seeing Kim Donghu imitate Tarzan on a call with his son...
ㄴFather, I finally understand now
ㄴSeokshin, you cried seeing your kid laugh?
ㄴLegendary father moment
The whole community reacted warmly to Kim Donghu’s immediate gestures of gratitude.
Even though he had become a world star, he still showed such genuine humanity.
No hint of celebrity arrogance — everyone had no choice but to love him.
[Breaking news) Every restaurant of the chefs who cooked for Kim Donghu is now fully booked 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣]
-You can’t even make a reservation anymore; cancelations and waitlists are full 😱
ㄴYup~ knew it, already made my reservation
ㄴYup, it’s fine, I’ll just starve
ㄴMinseon, I know you’re lurking in the gallery
ㄴ😂😂😂 did you entrust something to Minseon? 😂😂😂😂😂
ㄴMinseon, it’s me... if you’re watching, sprinkle some more chicken
[Is it true that all Comedy TV staff had an eel + Korean beef party?]
-It’s up on the forum now 😂😂😂😂😂
ㄴ👍🙌👍👍?
ㄴIt’s true 😂 They rented an entire building to eat
ㄴThey literally bowed to Kim Donghu before eating
[But after eating dessert and resting a bit, he’s getting up to go eat again]
-Now is Donghu turning into a gourmet restaurant hunter?
ㄴIt’s not exactly gourmet, just his regular spot
ㄴHonestly, every Donghu fan knows
ㄴIt’s the place you’re most likely to spot Kim Donghu during his Korea activities 😂
ㄴIf you’re a real fan, you already know this place
[Ah, has he arrived, is he finally going... to Kim Donghu’s favorite restaurant]
-The legendary Korean restaurant on the first floor of Veritas building 😂
-Welcome to “Kim Bokja’s Homemade Table.”
ㄴThe name alone is legendary
ㄴIt used to be mostly kimchi stew or army stew, but it changed 😂
ㄴGrandma Bokja kept expanding the menu to make whatever Donghu wanted to eat
ㄴDongseo Story Part 4) Grandma Bokja once refused offers to appear on Korean food shows
ㄴ👍🙌👍👍?
ㄴThis is real 😂😂😂
ㄴ??? : Wanna control Kim Donghu’s stomach?
ㄴWasn’t she originally not even a grandma?
ㄴShe’s still relatively young, she just happens to be named Bokja — have a drink
Real-time community reactions as they were.
<Delicious Guys> headed straight for Kim Donghu’s favorite place.
The special thing was, it wasn’t just the original members and staff who went.
ㄴWow, he brought all the chefs too
ㄴHe just rented the whole place 😂
He even took care of the chefs who cooked during the broadcast.
And the moment Kim Donghu entered the restaurant.
-"Boss, I’m here."
-"Been a while, huh?"
-"Yeah, I’ve been busy."
-"Renting out the whole restaurant though... Should I just serve you the usual?"
-"Yes, please, just bring it all out."
He sat down naturally, like he was at home.
And viewers found that incredibly refreshing.
ㄴWow, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Donghu so relaxed
ㄴHe must’ve come here a lot
ㄴHonestly, the boss is more impressive 😂 Just like, "👍 you're here" when Kim Donghu walks in 😂
ㄴThey’ve known each other since the early days of Veritas
ㄴMinimum 11 years 😂
ㄴAh man, this place getting exposed is a tragedy
ㄴNow we won’t be able to eat Bokja’s food anymore
ㄴBut real Donghu fans already knew this place
ㄴLegend 😂
The menu was super simple too.
And that simplicity drew even more public attention.
While fancy chef dishes were exciting, everyone also wanted to see Donghu’s reactions to everyday Korean food.
-"You always get three servings of spicy pork and a full pot of gondre rice, right?"
-"Is squid good today?"
-"Everything’s fine, you fool. Want me to whip something up? Eel?"
ㄴIsn’t this supposed to be a normal Korean restaurant? Why’s eel coming out immediately 😂
ㄴNothing is impossible for Kim Bokja’s hands
ㄴChef Bok finally showing up to put everyone in their place 😂
-"Nah, today I just want to eat what’s already prepared. Maybe some boiled pork?"
-"That’ll take a bit. Eat something else first."
-"Okay."
ㄴChef + filming crew + staff = over 50 servings 😱😱
ㄴIs she doing it alone?
ㄴNo no no, her son-in-law and daughter are helping 😂
ㄴThey’re super shy but crazy fast — 50 servings probably done in 15 minutes
Just like the viewers said, the food came out incredibly fast.
And once again, Kim Donghu kept eating and eating.
ㄴThis is how you end up eating for 17 hours
ㄴWow... seriously insane
ㄴIsn’t it fine to fake it a little? Say you ate moderately 😂😂 What the hell is this
ㄴWhy does Kim Donghu’s body just turn into muscle instead of a gut after eating so much
ㄴIs he literally Baki?
ㄴThis isn’t just "eats well" level anymore
After that endless, endless eating session finally ended, Donghu naturally turned his gaze toward the camera.
As if speaking directly to the viewers.
"Thank you for the meal."
That was the final line.
And the camera slowly pulled back to show the whole restaurant.
And there—
ㄴEveryone’s passed out
ㄴEveryone except Kim Donghu is knocked out
ㄴHaving a 1:1 date with the camera director 😂
ㄴThe only one still standing after 17 hours of filming is great Donghu
ㄴThis guy’s not human
Only Kim Donghu was still smiling.
Everyone else was collapsed.
It was, in its own way, a truly comedic scene.
Naturally, the public reaction was explosive.
And almost immediately, the headlines appeared:
『Kim Donghu sets a new legend. <Delicious Guys> viewership multiplied almost 100 times!』
『From 0.3% to a peak of 30%... No secret formula. Just “Kim Donghu” happened.』
Viewership exploded.
And at this very moment, Kim Donghu—
"I have to practice shooting guns?"
"Yes, dual-wielding pistols... it'd be great if you could handle both hands."
—was in the middle of meetings for his role in the Batman film.
