Actor and shaman Lee Kun-joo, who faces her adopted brother in France again, confesses the secret of her family and the wounds of her life separation.

In TV CHOSUN 'Daddy and I', which airs at 10 p.m. today (17th), Lee Kun-joo tells his complex family history that had to be 's farewell' to his biological brother Lee Kun-chul, who was adopted to France as soon as he was born.

With the efforts of his own brother, Lee Kun-joo was reunited with his brother 18 years ago. However, due to language and cultural differences, there was a misunderstanding between the two and they later lost contact. Lee Kun-joo, who met his younger brother again with difficulty, said "I was not in a comfortable situation at the time. I'm so sorry that I couldn't do it for you, so I pushed out the contact. I wanted to be a cool and proud older brother to my younger brother," he said, bringing up 18 years ago. Also, Lee Kun-joo will not shy away or run away just because it's hardWhen his younger brother Lee Kun-chul apologized, he rather comforted his older brother, saying, `I don't blame my brother.'

Lee Kun-cheol said, "I actually have a question for my parents," he said, bursting with curiosity that he had lived in France for more than 40 years after being adopted. Lee Kun-chul asked one after another why Lee Kun-joo and her mother were the same, why they had to send her for adoption, why they didn't raise their brothers together, and why they didn't play the role of parents properly. Lee Kun-chul, who couldn't stop asking questions when he opened his mouth once, said, "Why was my brother left and I was the only one sent for adoption. It was actually a big hurt that I was the only one sent for adoption." When his younger brother said he was hurt, Lee Kun-joo said "Why are my brothers…" and shed tears again, and he couldn't tell what kind of answer to give.

Whether Lee Kun-joo and his "French brother" Lee Kun-chul will be able to heal the misunderstandings accumulated 18 years ago and the wounds caused by the "life separation" more than 40 years ago will be revealed on TV CHOSUN "Dad and Me" broadcast at 10 p.m. today (17th).
