Women from Joseon's First Visit to a Modern Convenience Store: The Story of Why They Cried Out to the "Gods of Heaven and Earth" at the Taste of Ice Cream

A video has been released capturing the unfamiliar experiences and reactions to modern civilization of women who have time-slipped from the Joseon era to a modern convenience store. In the 'Durian's Affair' highlight video uploaded to the TV CHOSUN JOY channel, characters from Joseon are depicted visiting a modern convenience store and encountering food.

The taste of ice cream that made them cry out to the "Gods of Heaven and Earth"

The cast in the video shows unfamiliarity during the process of choosing food and paying at a modern convenience store for the first time. In particular, regarding the method of paying with a card, they expressed surprise, saying, "Gods of Heaven and Earth, what am I looking at right now?"

The reaction of the cast, who encountered ice cream among modern foods for the first time, draws attention. Looking at the ice cream, the cast members felt it was unfamiliar, asking, "This food is ice cream? The name isn't even something decent, how can it be?" Following this, after experiencing the cold food melting smoothly on their tongues, the cast repeatedly expressed their astonishment, saying, "Gods of Heaven and Earth, what am I eating right now?" In this process, expressions such as 'Hemma-taeng' and 'Jesu-taeng-i' appeared in the conversation, showing the linguistic difference between the modern era and the past.

Everyday conversations shared in an unfamiliar environment

In addition to the experience at the convenience store, the cast members converse about the scenery of the night streets and their relationships with each other. They expressed bewilderment at the fact that stars could not be seen in the night sky, saying, "Goodness, how can the night sky be this terrible," and the intersection of Joseon era etiquette and modern comfort is shown in the way they treat each other.

Furthermore, through conversations where questions about past memories or husbands are exchanged, subtle relationships and situations between the characters are revealed, such as answering "I don't remember." The cast members recognize that people around them might think they are strange, and they show themselves trying to accept advice to "use everyday expressions so that people don't think you are strange."
