My Neighbor, Charles | 이웃집 찰스 Ep.159 / Pure 100% Filipino Earl Jhon is back! [ENG/2018.10.25] 

Earl Jhon represents the Philippines extremely well. He was raised right, respectful, kind, and wise beyond his years. His Grandma did a great job. Wishing you and your family well.

Skl. I’m Half Japanese-Filipino. My grandmother raised me ever since I was born. Just like Earl Jhon, I have a sibling who was raised in Japan unlike me who was raised and grew up here in Philippines. I’m 18 now and my family in Japan is deciding for me to reside there with them however I cannot leave Philippines because of my grandmother. All of my titas and titos have their own lives and families, and once I leave for Japan, my grandmother will left all alone. I cannot do that. I love her with all my life and you cannot pay me to leave her for a better life in Japan. I often visit them in Japan but never stayed there for long. I love my grandmother so much and when I saw the scene where Earl Jhon’s grandmother and uncle left, it really broke my heart. Stay strong Earl. All will be well in time.

The awkward moment when I dont need a sub title whenever the family are talking I understand both bisaya and tagalog HAHAHAHA

In a Filipino perspective, Earl Jhon is very articulate when he's speaking tagalog. I can tell that he is bright.

It actually breaks my heart how earl john tries to get close with his siblings but they dont seem to appreciate him. They should respect him cause hes the oldest brother. They are so lucky to have him. Even if its awkward its not a reason to help out and try to reach him out.

He speaks 4 languages already: english, tagalog, bisaya and korean. ❤❤❤

The four younger kids are acting like brats. It doesn't matter if you don't understand someone, if they're addressing you; you look at them at the very least. Earl Jhon was also there translating and they still showed apathetic attitudes. Hopefully they change and mature as they grow.

Eerl Jhon : nay lami daw Nanay : edi wow 🤦🏻😂😂

Something tells me Earl John is going to go far in life, being so young and mastering struggles with such maturity and heart is a quality that will get him where he wants. His grandmother did well raising him, cannot say the same for the mom and her other kids she raised. I just hope they don’t keep him from chasing his own dreams. Fighting Earl Jon!

The siblings are not bad... They just need time to bond. Look at how his sister came and fanned him. And even they tried to joke around when they got the lip tint.. They are just at an awkward age and dont know how to act. Even we were awkward in teenage. And plus they were apart for such a long time. They definitely need time.

I feel so dissapointed when they said that they didn't want him to become the president because of his speaking skills in korean. I feel really bad. Leadership is not all about words it's all about action. Maybe they didn't like him because of his communicating skills but men-----I really felt dissapointed.

As a Filipino, showing respect to the elders is very important to us no matter how awkward you are to that person or people. We even have this "mano po" gesture as a sign of respect even though we aren't blood related. I hope the kids will learn from this. Earl John, I am rooting for you.

I am half Korean half Filipino, and I can tell the cultural barriers will be there and will be difficult at first, but once those are over with, it is all good. I can converse in both Korean and Filipino well too. I can tell that Earl John is kindhearted and thoughtful, and works hard to adapt to the new cultural environment he is in and one of the reasons why he resonated well with his stepfather and gramdmother. Makes me feel proud to be part Filipino. 정말 수고했다, 엘 존씨. 파이팅!

Im glad the hosts arent jerks about the guests being Filipinos. From what ive seen on some older tv shows korean hosts are usually jerks about filipinos. Also those kids are jerks.

Earl is the real version of a typical "oppa" we see in kdramas😭❤️

Ang yaman nila may sili sila

It makes me so sad that it feel like the kids are embarassed that they are half pinoys, but its understandable coz theyre still young.. I hope when they grow up, they'll realise that they have an amazing grandma and angel brother..

I’m sorry to say this, but Earl John living in the Philippines for the past 17 years without her mom was actually a good thing. He grew up as a very polite, kind and hardworking person. He helps his mom do house chores and even harvest chilis while his siblings rest inside the house comfortably. He studies very hard for his family. He is concerned with his siblings that he barely knew whilst the siblings probably don’t care as much of him. His grandmom raised him well in the Philippines. He and his Filipino grandmom are both very amazing person!✨ Their personalities reflect each other crystal clear. Watching the 2 episodes of Earl John’s story in MNC, I felt how warm he and his grandma is. Very Filipino! 💓 His Korean non-biological father was probably relieved when he met Earl John because he finally has someone he can rely on. Same goes with his non-biological grandmom that likes him more than her actual/biological grandchildren. Because as warm as he is, probably as cold as his siblings which totally shows in both episodes. I feel like when their Filipino grandmom and uncle visited them, just because they can’t understand each other, Earl John’s siblings alienated them. They don’t respond even though Earl John translates what their grandma were saying. Like, where’s the manner? I don’t care if they don’t understand the language because language isn’t the only way to communicate. Duh? I also don’t care if there was a time that they did try to make eye contact, communicate or even spoke a basic Filipino language. The bottom line is they didn’t try hard and I felt like they always respond to their grandma halfheartedly, like they only forced themselves for the sake of looking good for the show. The mom didn’t raise them well, sorry. But these were filmed and aired over a year ago, so I hope there has been a huge development from this siblings’ personalities. I hope they aren’t snob anymore and learned a lot of good manners & Filipino culture from their eldest brother if their mom failed to do so. 여러분, 화이팅~!! ✨✨✨

I love him when he say "Po or Opo" these words can express how great you are and respect the elders. He tried his best to speak "Tagalog" kahit nakamulatan nyang salita ay Bisaya. Nakakaproud naman.

That girl who helps him though is such a good person with glowing energy. She'll be blessed.

The translation's a bit off. This is what Earl John really said to his siblings. "Study hard, even though it's hard. Just continue. Your brother is here to take care of all of you. Your needs, if I could provide them, I'll give it all to you. "

okay, the youngest son look like pure Filipino I know their mother is Filipino but the youngest one is so handsome especially when he is smiling(his dimples)

it’s like a more chill version of mmk lol

I love how positive this show is. If this was made in PH it will be dramatized as if it was a tragedy lol.

One thing that I appreciate is the Grandmother. Se raised him so well, trying to get closer to her grandkids, and she did a great job to do some effort to make them feel comfortable around her. I feel so sorry seeing her, she's can't understand them and also the kids didn't understand their grandma. I hope her daughter teach them Filipino culture, language, foods and e.t.c. Long life and stay healthy Lola. Isa kang napakabuting tao at nakakataba po kayo ng puso. Mabuhay po Kayo. ❤️

Felt bad for Earl Jon, had he went earlier to S.Korea he would have learned the language by now. He would not have to take written exam for naturalization but only interview which is easier. This is bad but I think he was brought to Korea only to work for the family since his step dad is too old to work. He was raised by his grandma for 17 yrs, I wonder what his mother is doing and thinking for Earl Jon's betterment. To say it bluntly he was abandoned as a child and recalled when the mother needed help. Poor Earl Jon hope he gets naturalize soon.

The korean grandma seems a lot closer to Earl Jhon than her real grandchildren, and it’s so sad to see that.

Trust me he is gonna be very successful in the future, he is mature and kind heart

When Earl Jhon lost the election I was on the verge of tears. My poor cinnamon roll, I thought he'd get it T^T it's ok Earl Jhon we'll bring you to PH and make YOU president HAHAHAH

Sana all may kuyang ganyan, yung kuya ko dito mas matured pa ata ako tangina HHAHAHAHAHAHA

Earl John is too precious for this world!!!

Ngayon ko lang alam na marunong palang mag korean si tito boy

17:10 That moment you see someone's genuine smile. Earl John's a really good person. He was brought up well despite difficulties. He is blessed with great grandmothers. I'm really hoping for him and his family to only live a fruitful life and be blessed with good health. May Earl John persevere more so that he can do the things he loves at the same time support his family.

my tears can't stop when his grandmother went back to Philippine

Their lucky they got a thoughtful brother..hope they grow up closer..

I think he got close with his korean grandma since he grew up with his lola. He has the aura/character of being with a grandparent. I cried when his lola and tito left 😭

Am I the only one that felt his pain when he found out that he lost the election? 😒

They're awkward around each other for now but those kids will appreciate their older brother some day.

He sure had a lonely childhood.. Grew up with his grandma... He is a thoughtful person still care for his mother who remarried...If I were in his position I might have resented the mom.. For leaving him and got herself a husband and children This is just my thought no offensive at all I just feel pity him because he didn't get her mother's love when he was a child... Anyway rooting for this family😊😊😊😊😊

Being raised in a Filipino family inculcating Filipino culture is the best❤

I felt like wanting one more ep. of Earl Jhon's story.

at 12:18 When grandma said "Edi Wow" I laugh so hard 😂😂😂 Pinoy na pinoy si Lola 💕🇵🇭 Proud Filipino here 🙌🏻

Filipino brothers are the best. I can say that because I have 3 and they would rather sweat blood than see me having a hard time in life.

Earl Jhon is so kind and thoughtful no wonder people like him a lot.

I think the episodes with Earl Jhon are one of the best episodes of this show.

Loves to hear that this boy is still using 'po' and 'opo' in answering any kind of questions. ♥️

I have to admit Sungu is a really good looking kid..

Wish him the best luck!!! Don’t back down! You are such a hard worker and kind person. I hope someone will admire your attitude and hard working. Im sure filipinos will be awe at him when he learned another language.

I think the Kids are having a hard time learning filipino language because the filipino family talks in visaya and tagalog dialect. They are confuse 😅 but then these kids dont try at all. I feel bad for their grandma 😅

This episode of My Neighbor, Charles is so inspiring how love for the family is stonger than anything else. Why someone cutting onions here, I've cried a lot for this episode.

earl jhon is such a nice guy!! He’s so kind and caring to the ones he love ! And puts THEYRE happiness before his ! I wish him the best on passings his exams and I hope he can see his grandma once in a while and I wish his family the best of luck and hope they can get more comfortable with each other and I hope both his grandmas become healthier and stronger as days go by!!

I'd hug Earl Jhon if ever I see him in person. He deserves so much love! Earl John 흉, 화이팅!

The children should make an effort to learn their mother's language... And their mother should exert extra effort too to teach her children speaking tagalog

With my nieces and nephews, I always tell them to tell nana thank you for gifts she gets them, to give her a big hug and a kiss when they are leaving her house, and to text her a nice message when she's sick.I know these children don't know better as none of us did at their age, but earl jhon and his mama should be instilling in them the importance of showing manners to granny for all she does for them, and even if they can't understand her, to put in a bit more effort. Earl jhon is just too gentle 😭 Hopefully as they grow older and when they become teens they will appreciate her and him more 🥺

I know the kids have their reasons but I still feel annoyed that they didn't put much effort into trying to communicate with their grandma

I JUST KNEW THE UNCLE WAS GONNA SING "ANAK" IT DESCRIBES THE KIDS SITUATION PERFECTLY BUT THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SONG WAS WAY OFF 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

honestly when I first watched the first episode about earl jhon and his family I wasn’t really interested and couldn’t finish it but now after I decided to finish it I was really interested in this episode!! everything about it intrigues me and I can kinda relate to him . I couldn’t stop checking RU-vid to see if they uploaded a part 2 💘

Life in the province is simply peaceful and amazing. Fresh veggies and farm produce. Kids are happy and seems less pressure. This is better live life than in the city. I love this journey of a young man from my country and the way his story being told up close. Beautiful Korea.

Part 1 was amazing (episode 158). Cant wait to see part 2.

These kids are old enough to help in the field even for an hour or if not, they should do the housework then they can lounge around like that.

What a good son/grandson/brother/student everything 😭😭😭😭

These kids don’t know how lucky they are to have a responsible and loving older brother. I hope Earl John pass his exam and have a good life and be able to visit his grandparent often. Grandmother deserves all the praise for raising a good grandson. I hope for grandma to have a good life too. It breaks my heart that they will be away from each other for a long time.

I could see the frustration on him and I felt sad, too. 😢 I figured that it's about his speech but it's okay. He has leadership in him, and he's service-oriented. He's natural even, brought by his upbringing, I believe. He's dependable, self-reliant and hardworking, too. Those can bring him farther. He's just in the wrong audience. Lol. His speech can get better through time, anyways. So hwaiting! PS I'm also disappointed of how his siblings did not help him adjusting in Korean life, esp language which kaya nmn pala nila. I hope it's just that they're still trying to build relationship and still just shy and awkward to approach to help him. I do pray for them to eventually build familial closeness now that they're closer. 💓

His siblings are lazy...they should all do more to help around. He is a very thoughtful young man...even the Korean grandma liked him better than her own grandkids.

Nanggigil ako sa inyo..ano naman kung hindi sya marunong mag korean..it takes time to learn..tsaka buti nga may kagaya nya na gustong makatulong sa iba imbes unahin ang sarili..

Earl Jhon's grandmother speaks Visayan...another dialect aside from Pilipino...someday he will overcome this adversity...showing Filipinos' resiliency...good luck to him!

Earl jhon has good things ahead in Korea thats because he is such kind person. Fighting!!

wow i didnt realize i finished the entire episode. It was a heartfelt episode and I am proud to Earl John for bringing the good Filipino values. I hope their family succeeds in Korea and I hope he finds the happiness he deserves. Such a beautiful heart.

Nalulungkot ako dun kay Lola di siya pinapansin nung mga apo niya nung tinawag niya mahirap naman talaga mag aral ng ibang lenggwahe pero matutunan din naman kung gusto, pag gusto may paraan pag ayaw may dahilan 😂😂

I don't know but he's so precious. I hope one day ma achieve mo lahat ng goals mo 🙂

@ 12:18 the grandma said "edi wow", lol.

Are there any non- Filipino who watched his episode? Just want to know if there are some 😀 Kuya Earl Jhon possess what a Filipino is. Respectful, hardworking, determined, family- oriented and sometimes prankster 😅😂

I feel like I waited a century for this 💜 kept checking back again & again just to see if this ep was posted yet 😂

He’s so softspoken and gentle! Definitely gives a great brother and son vibe!

It doesn’t matter if they can’t speak in filipino language as long as my disciplinaria sila sa mga matatanda! They should at least know how to say ‘po’ or ‘opo’ !

Watching this in 2021 I hope Earl Jhon has reached greater milestones in his life since this ep was aired. So glad to see that a man young like him respects elders and is so thoughtful towards his family members. May God Bless you~

Countryside is Probinsya right? I think his grandmother is from Visayas because she speaks Bisaya. It was so hard to learn hangul but I feel so proud of him. It's my first time to see a family member who decided to left Philippines and live in Korea. I hope he can pass the exam and learn more about Korean Culture, language and how to communicate Korean People. All the best for this Family. Mabuhay Kababayan! ❤️🇵🇭

The family is so respectful to each other when they’re giving gifts to each other and clapping and celebrating their love for each other🙏🏼💜

I absolutely love earl John!! Such a nice older brother he reminds me of my own.when he was driving his siblings I nearly got a heart attack but seokcheon’s sidenote helped me remember he’s old enough.

i cried a lot you would see in earl john the filipino values was instilled into him by his grandma, i admired the boy so much, may GOD bless you with your journey in korea. 🙏 you are such an inspiration to everyone.

I love how they act like they see each other again for the first time lol. I can see they doing it for the show. 😂😂 cutie

it must be hard for him, i feel sorry for him in a way i felt his situation is complicated but i think he's a wonderful person. i hope he's doing okay there!

Thank you KBS, I'm a Filipino working here in London away from my son in the Philippines as well. Hoping he'll grow up into such a sensitive and caring man like earl john. I cried with all of you watching this :). Anyway I hope for follow up in the future, maybe in a year or two. Aja!

Earl Jhon such a beautiful soul. I wish you a happy, health and prosperous life

i was ready to cry when earl jhon didn’t win the election i felt so bad, and then i did cry when his grandma left oof

Were very proud of earl jhon and the grandma for raising an amazing kid with a big heart. He will became a good leader and a father in the future. My prayers are for you and your family.

The youngest son is handsome. I hope he'll be an idol someday 😊😊😊

he’s being raised well by his grandma, as you can see, he have manners and a warm heart also he is hardworking too. i pictured out some scenarios just like in dramas that transferees are being bullied but in reality, they helped him a lot it’s just that he’s still not that good in korean atleast he’s trying to adapt well. i am amazed by his determination and his personality, their family can rely on him a lot.

What an awesome brother, grandson, and son Earl is!

I just admire how sweet and smart he is. Protect people like Earl John ❤️

I really wish for PART 3! 🙏🙏🙏

😭 im crying when his grandma left , but happy for earl john he is so caring . filipino love ❤💛❤

Earl Jhon is such a pure-hearted young man. I wish & hope that only good things come his way.

Keep it up Earl Jhon you are a blessing to everybody God bless

Finally😍 Btw sungu is so cute and handsome 😍😆

Earl John is the sweetest big brother/kuya/Oppa❤️ Bless you and your family,John!❤️

They think he is not good enough yet they don't run for the position. Funny how that works. I think he should have gotten the position anyway, comsodering he was the only one running. Better than not having a president at all.

it makes me sad that the younger kids dont even acknowledge their grandma, she seems like such a sweet lady and took care of Earl Jhon for so long. The mom shouldve taught them how to respect people because their korean dad seems too old to even say anything. Even if its "awkward" you still need to show some respect. Im glad the talk show hosts said something about that.

Earl Jhon's school is so interesting though, it's really diverse (I really miss that good looking half Pakistan guy from last ep lmao) daamnnn can we atleast get a spinoff about that high school in this series kgkjkdk.

I miss my grandma ㅠㅠ I love her more than my mom because she's the one who take care of me and im her favorite too. I remembered my mom asked me if i want to go with her visit her in the hospital I agreed but i got lazy waiting so i pretended to sleep and then she left without me . the next day she died, i cried so much that day even now i still regret and hated my myself for being lazy.
