My Little Old Boy Ep.449 Recap: Kim Jong-kook’s Retro Road Trip Adventure

My Little Old Boy Ep.449 recap dives into Kim Jong-kook’s surprising plan to take a summer road trip the truly old-school way — ditching all modern navigation apps in favor of paper maps and his own memory. Right from the start, the vibe is part classic buddy comedy, part nostalgic throwback, and 100% the kind of banter fans love from Jong-kook and his crew.

As soon as they pile into the car, the teasing begins. They poke fun at each other’s outfits — who’s overdressed for the road, who forgot sunglasses, who looks like they’re ready for a fashion shoot instead of a humble countryside drive. But Jong-kook doesn’t mind the ribbing — he insists he’s the leader of this trip, the designated driver, and the unofficial human GPS rolled into one. To win them over, he promises to treat everyone to a hearty meal if his plan works out.

Their main destination? A famous potato stew spot known for having lines out the door, a true hidden gem. But the real twist is how they plan to get there — or rather, how Jong-kook plans to get them there. While everyone instinctively reaches for their phones, ready to plug the address into a trusty GPS app, Jong-kook adamantly refuses. Instead, he pulls out an old-school map, unfolds it with a flourish, and starts tracing their route with his finger, like an old master.

His friends are flabbergasted. “Who does this in 2025?” they laugh, half exasperated, half amused. But Jong-kook holds his ground, insisting that back in the day, people admired a good sense of direction. He even launches into a mini geography lesson for his skeptical passengers: they’ll cross the river to Hannam, swing by Jangchung Gymnasium, pass Dongguk University, and he even throws in a shout-out to a bakery he remembers from a past visit. It’s part serious navigation, part nostalgic flex.

Naturally, the backseat turns into a debate club — his friends practically beg him to just turn on the navigation app. But the more they push, the more determined Jong-kook becomes. To settle the matter once and for all, they decide to make it interesting: if Jong-kook can find the restaurant in under 40 minutes with only his old-school method, he wins bragging rights and the promise to buy everyone their potato stew feast. If he fails, he’ll never hear the end of it.

With that, the car sets off on its retro adventure. There are wrong turns, frantic U-turns, laughs over who was right about which exit, and plenty of playful bickering — but all of it brings back a nostalgic charm for how road trips used to be before everyone’s entire route fit in a tiny phone screen.

My Little Old Boy Ep.449 shows that sometimes, ditching convenience can spark unexpected fun. Whether Jong-kook makes it in record time or not, the true highlight is the journey itself — proof that a bit of old-fashioned stubbornness, good company, and a paper map can turn even a simple summer drive into a hilarious memory.
