And then it was time to say goodbye. The couple who charmed audiences on "We Got Married: Global Edition" had one more episode together before ending their television marriage. And what did that involve? Chicken stew, a visit to the café where they first met and a movie, then a few tears when they parted for the last time.
The evening started with chicken, which the F.T. Island singer-turned-actor had been craving. While the Japanese actress cooked the chicken stew, he searched the house for a puzzle she made and read a letter she wrote about their relationship.
When they visited the café where they first met, he looked back at their relationship and second-guessed the way he handled things. If he really wanted her to fall in love with him, he could have been more romantic.
"I keep thinking I should have done this or that differently," said Lee Hong Ki. "I feel bad because I should have treated her more in the way she wanted to be treated by a guy."
But he must have done something right because her letter to him said that he made her happy even when he wasn't around and that she was glad she married him.
Did the two really fall in love? They certainly became good friends and were physically affectionate with each other. The couple also shared some wonderful moments in the "We Got Married: Global Edition."
They were nervous but adorable during the studio wedding photo shoot when the photographer asked him to give her a back hug. Also, his eyes sparkled when he saw how beautiful she looked in her wedding dress. He was really impressed.
His proposal impressed fans. So did the way he asked her how they were doing on the Ferris wheel. Fans approved of the fact that although she was only his pretend wife, she showed up to support him at the premiere of his film "Passionate Goodbye."
She seemed comfortable when he first held her hand. But that could be because he has such beautifully done nails.
Lee Hong Ki recently admitted to spending about $20,000 a year on his nails. As you might have guessed from his recent book, "Lee Hong Ki's Nail Book," he is a big nail art fan. He admits to painting his nails once a week, occasionally together with his pal, Super Junior's Kim Heechul.
