Original subtitles

(There are a lot of people, so we must stay alert.)

(Today we'll have 13 guests, the most of the winter season.)

(There are 7 dietary restrictions like allergies and habits.)

(Some need to be picked up.)

(Our kitchen's going to go crazy tonight.)

(Giggling)

(Solemnly putting on his apron)

(I wonder what they'll order.)

(I'm so curious.)

It'll be...

(Can we do well?)

(A new vegetarian dish, the trustworthy japchae)

(Gungjung tteokbokki is brought back!)

(Let's do well.)

(Good luck to us.)

(Starting with grilled wheat cakes, )

(the dishes are completed smoothly.)

(Wait, this is so good.)

(Yes, it's really good.)

(Delicious.)

(What brings the happy dinner to a close?)

(The injeolmi waffle turned green.)

(With ice cream...)

(and a strawberry garnish, )

(mugwort injeolmi waffles will come the guests' way.)

Woo Shik, on the way back, the German couple...

Ask if they're okay with ice cream.

- Ice... - They're vegans.

(Creeping up)

Are you guys okay with ice cream?

Yes.

(Ice cream's fine.)

- Yes. We're okay. - We're okay.

- So ice cream's okay. - We love ice cream.

It's great, thank you.

(Mugwort injeolmi waffles are coming up soon)

(A crispy waffle topped with ice cream)

(A strawberry gives a dash of red.)

(Bean powder gives it more flavor.)

(CEO Youn and the dessert chef are in action.)

Oh, it's the dessert.

Hello, this is the dessert.

- You go in first. - Okay.

(Wow)

How was the dinner?

It was amazing. Thank you so much.

It was so delicious.

You put so much effort in it. We could really taste it.

- So much love. - Thank you for that.

(Proud)

This is rice cake.

- He invented it. - It's Korean rice cake.

- "Tteok". Have you heard of it? - No.

- Tteokbokki waffle? - Tteok...

- It's the same kind of tteok. - Yes.

- Rice cake. - It's a very traditional rice cake.

How nice.

Usually in springtime,

it's the first plant or weed that comes out...

in the field and then we eat that.

So we try to use that,

and now they're growing in plastic greenhouses.

What's the Korean word for it?

- Ssuk. - Ssuk.

Oh, the green...

The green rice cakes that's most common. You saw, right?

They sell in packs of nine, the rice cakes.

Yes. That's good for your health.

It looks great.

- Yum, yum, yum. - The ice cream, yes. Vanilla.

Did she say he invented this?

- This waffle? - Seo Jin.

- Yes. - Lee Seo Jin?

Yes.

It was his idea to put it the...

- Put it in the waffle, yes. - The waffle iron.

(Yum)

(Yummy)

Yum.

(Marveling)

Is it really okay?

(Yum)

This is such an amazing place.

You can stay here all year round.

So what was your favorite of the dinner?

My favorite? The main and the dessert.

And I tried other people's mains,

but I think the braised chicken was amazing.

For me it's easy. Starter, main, the rice,

dessert, beer, wine, raspberry wine.

(He means everything was good.)

I think the waffle is amazing.

And the tteokbokki.

- The tteokbokki. - What we had.

The waffle is something really special.

I think there's something about the texture.

How did they come up with this? This could...

- This could sell internationally. - Yes, the rice cake.

It's not just tteok. It's waffled tteok.

- Like... - Waffled tteok.

We're way too comfortable.

It's an injeolmi waffle.

It's a rice cake waffle, so it's very chewy.

Thank you.

It's very pretty.

Rice waffle.

I think this is the first time I've ever seen a rice waffle.

(The intern collects the dirty plates.)

- Thank you. - Yes.

- Nice. - It's crispy.

Yes. This is amazing.

- I've never seen a rice waffle. - Yes.

Yum.

(She has a bite.)

(Yum!)

It tastes nice.

We didn't take a picture.

(Let's take one next time.)

It's good.

(Marveling)

(It's really good.)

It's good.

(While the desserts are devoured in Mae...)

Strawberry.

So that's really nice?

(The 6 mathematicians enjoy the main and fried vegetables.)

A weird number is... The sum of perfect divisors...

(The sum of perfect divisors is greater than that, )

(but it's nothing pseudoperfect...)

(Dinnertime seminar: What is a weird number?)

The best example of infinite graph theory is used to observe...

gravity theory.

What kind of quantitative balance?

Don't. Don't.

No. I'm not that far accustomed.

(With the mains all served, the kitchen is quieter.)

(Glancing)

(A huge mouthful)

(The staff fill themselves with the leftovers.)

(Seo Jun gets a crispy vegetable fry and sauces it up.)

(He gives the VP a piece.)

What's this?

(Crunch)

(You can't stop eating.)

(Me too...)

I have to open wide.

(In comes a tempura.)

(A tempura's fired into the hungry intern's mouth.)

(It's good.)

(The last round of rice and soup is served.)

- Do we go together? - Three of you.

Okay.

(Woo Shik, that's yours.)

Yu Mi. Where is she?

She's in front of you.

She's in front of you.

What is it now? What's wrong with you?

- Who put that here? - I don't know.

I just looked and it was there.

Bye, Yu Mi.

(Okay... Take care...)

(They greet the guardian and head to Juk.)

(Hello, there.)

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

How are you guys doing?

- Very good. - It's very nice.

You guys are okay with seafood, right?

- Yes. - So this is squid,

anchovies, and black beans.

This is spinach soup.

Are you guys familiar with doenjang?

- Not really. - "Doenjang"?

It's a bean paste. So it's a...

- Enjoy. - Enjoy it.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(The VP puts together the used dishes.)

- Do you want me to take some? - It's okay.

(Glancing at the guests)

(Are they enjoying their meal?)

(Today is a really long day.)

What's this called again?

- These are anchovies. - Anchovies.

I don't know if it's actually anchovies.

They're some kind of very small fish.

I don't know. We don't have such small fish in the US.

(Taking a bite of very small anchovies)

I think I looked for this because they're very professional.

It's so good.

The soup is super good.

I also remember how I bought this soybean paste.

- To spice things up with it. - Nice.

(Kevin is holding the bowl finish his portion.)

I'd have this every day for brunch in Korea.

- Really? - Yes.

What's interesting to me in Korea is that...

the rice always comes at the end.

- Yes! - That's true.

Once I went to...

a jokbal and bossam place.

I asked for some rice,

and they looked at me like I was crazy for ordering rice.

For eating the rice before.

This, I don't understand.

Why they'd eat the rice afterward.

(Rice is only a dessert to Koreans when there's meat.)

You may have had nurungji at the end of a meal.

- What? - Isn't it called nurungji?

- I don't know what that is. - It's...

It's like the burned rice around the edge.

(Koreans are seriously in love with carbohydrates.)

Right.

(Shacarol is clearing the dishes.)

(CEO Youn is heading to Mae.)

You must be cold. Now, I'm done using it.

- Thank you so much. - Your nose is so cold.

- Thank you so much. - Your nose is so cold.

It's because I'm old.

(It's because I'm old.)

You're young.

Thank you.

It's kind of crazy though. Just until yesterday,

we were just working.

- But now I'm in a bamboo forest! - Doing my things.

I was working, doing my things, but now I'm in this hanok...

in the middle of nowhere.

Let's go.

Oh, I like this smell.

Guys, it's so nice.

(It warms you up just by looking at it.)

(Pleased)

This is really nice.

- Oh, yes? - It's really nice.

All right, let's go.

Okay. Let's go.

(The guests from the University of Science and Technology...)

(go up to the upper village.)

I'm ready for the lounge.

- Me too. - Yes.

- Let's go. - Let's go!

- Thank you. - Thank you very much.

(The guests from Germany and Georgia also go up to the upper village.)

That was perfect.

It's a happy ending.

(When they say that, something always happens.)

(Just when they thought it was all over...)

It's so cold all of a sudden. I'm not sure if I'm cold or nervous.

(That's...)

(They have to make rice cake balls for 13 servings...)

(for tomorrow's breakfast.)

Wait a minute. We have to make rice cake balls.

Hold on!

(Panicking)

(Her brains stopped working.)

- Ms. Youn. - Yes?

We need to make rice cake balls before we go up.

Rice cake dumplings? Are you saying we should make dumplings?

- No, I meant rice cake balls. - Oh, you want to make them.

I was wondering how you'd add dumplings to red bean porridge.

I almost passed out when I heard that.

- Let's make them. - Okay.

(While Chief Jung gets some hot water...)

Oh, my.

(CEO Youn is putting the glutinous rice powder.)

(Mix it with hot water as you pour it slowly.)

(Kneading)

(Seo Jun puts his mask on.)

(Taking turns)

Oh, gosh. It's really hard.

(Creaking)

It's like pressing down a brick.

- That's why... - How did you do it?

- I almost died. - My goodness.

I think that's enough.

- Shall we make balls now? - Yes, we can make them.

Sit down.

- Is this big enough? - I think it can be bigger.

We have enough dough.

(Doing his best)

(Doing her best too)

(Woo Shik is texting the guests who are coming tomorrow.)

How many are coming tomorrow?

- 12. - 12 guests?

Figure out their allergies first.

He's right. You should ask if they have any allergies.

It's important.

Mocha.

(He gets prepared thoroughly.)

I have to go pick them up in two different times.

There's one vegan.

(Seo Jin is making the last dessert.)

(A nicely baked injeolmi waffle)

Gosh, you're smart.

(Teasing the VP)

Did you just say I'm smart?

(Shy)

(On top of warm and crispy injeolmi waffle, )

(he puts cold and soft ice cream.)

(Adding a bit of freshness)

(A finishing touch with bean powder)

Off you go.

(Under CEO Youn's direction, )

(the Kitchen Team goes out after a while.)

My gosh, there's music.

- It's from Woo Shik's phone. - It's so nice.

It smells so nice too. What's with his phone?

Excuse me.

- The dessert is coming up. Yes. - I thought this was the dessert.

Oh wow. You cleaned it up.

Okay.

This looks good.

- Could you pass this on? - Yes.

Sorry.

What's your name?

They call me YJ Youn.

My last name is Youn, and my first name is Yuh Jung.

It's very hard to pronounce for the Westerners.

So they just call me YJ Youn.

- YJ? - Because my initials are Y and J.

Did you... What did you order?

- We shared everything. - We shared everything.

How was the tteokbokki?

It was very nice.

Don't just say it.

Just say it meaningfully.

(I'm serious.)

(They cleaned their plates.)

It was very enjoyable.

- Oh, thank you so much. - Yes, we loved it.

We did our best.

This is a very special moment, I'm sure.

- Yes, it really is. - We really appreciate it.

- Yes. - Yes.

Was it very different from what you usually eat at other restaurants?

- Was it different? - Sure.

Yes, I've never had anything exactly like this.

- We succeeded then. - Yes, you did.

- Yes, you did. Absolutely. - Yes.

The pork dish was really amazing.

Oh, good.

They worked so hard.

We're no professional, but we put all our...

soul, heart, gut, and everything.

(Smiling brightly)

Ms. Youn is still there?

We'd have been in trouble if we stopped her from going.

Why is she still in there?

(It's been 10 minutes since she went into the room of mathematicians.)

Is she playing Oprah again?

And I'd like to know about this.

You're all mathematicians, right?

- Right? You're mathematicians? - Yes, that's right.

How did you memorize the times table...

when you were little?

- When you were little? - Yes.

These days, if we have to do multiplications,

I'll have to use a calculator.

I know, I know. Back in my time,

we shared with each other...

how to memorize doing multiplication.

(Like this.)

You don't do that?

I still can't do it. If you say 7 times 6,

I'd have to calculate what 7 times 5 is, and so on.

I can't do it in my head.

See? We'll never forget that.

It's kind of like a rhythm.

2 times 2 is 4, 2 times 5 is 10.

- 2 times 6 is 12, 2 times 7 is 14. - I see.

Something like that.

6 times 9 is 54.

- It just comes out automatically. - That's really good.

(That's amazing.)

- I learned another thing. Okay. - It's just different.

Oh, this is rice cake, actually.

- Oh, rice cake? - Yes.

And the green thing is called "ssuk". It's mugwort.

Usually in spring time,

it's the first thing that blooms in fields.

So you'll be very healthy.

Thank you so much.

- Thank you. - Thank you!

See you tomorrow.

- See you! - See you.

(CEO Youn was on her way back, )

(but she suddenly turns around.)

8:30am is the breakfast time.

- Wow, thank you. - Thank you.

(Pleased)

(The long day is finally over.)

- It's called "ssuk"? - "Ssuk".

(He takes a bite of mugwort injeolmi waffle.)

I think that's a very safe choice.

(It makes him smile broadly.)

(Deb takes a bite with the ice cream.)

(Crispy)

(While the guests are enjoying the dessert...)

(It's 8:50pm.)

We're getting a call.

(The phone suddenly starts ringing.)

Hello?

- Hi. - Hi.

We have some things to request.

- Is that okay? - Oh, yes. Sure.

Okay, so is it possible to get one more pad?

- The thing under the blanket? - Oh, yes.

- One more pad, right? - Yes.

I'll go and take a look at that.

- Thank you so much. - All right.

- Okay, bye. - Bye.

(He calmly responds to the additional request by the guest.)

(Let's go get the pad!)

She wants another pad.

(There's a supply room for blankets next to Juk.)

She wants a pad and a blanket.

(He decides to bring the blanket too just in case.)

- I'll take them. - No, we can go together.

(Heave-ho)

(They head to Mi with a new blanket and pad.)

- Shacarol? - Yes?

Excuse me.

(They call their guest in different ways.)

All right.

(We bring everything for you at Youn Stay.)

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Good night! - Yes, good night.

Good night.

(They wish each other good night.)

(They help organize the shoes as well.)

(Then they get back to the management building.)

I'll just have some wine, and...

Are we having rice? I think it'd be...

best to have some ramyeon.

- Do you want me to make you one? - Yes.

- Is there anyone else who wants it? - I want it.

- I want to have fried chicken. - Me too.

- Me too. - That will take forever.

Then I'll just make one serving of ramyeon.

- Yes, just one serving. - One serving will be enough.

Just make however you want.

Then I'll add some green onions and egg.

(He adds green onions and powder soup to the boiling water.)

Because...

This is it.

(Once the noodles start to cook, )

(he cracks the egg, )

(adds it inside, )

(and uses his special technique.)

This is how I like my egg.

Instead of stirring the egg,

I prefer to have the yolk half-boiled.

I'm on my way.

Thank you. Seriously.

You're the best.

Gosh, the egg is cooked perfectly.

When did you put it in? Did you time it?

I eat ramyeon alone really often.

- Really? - And that's how I like my egg.

(She blows on the noodles.)

(Then tries a bite.)

(Ms. Youn also knows how to slurp her noodles.)

This is really delicious.

(We should give Section Head Park a raise.)

(Even when the staff open the boxes of chicken, )

(Ms. Youn is busy enjoying her ramyeon.)

(The chicken is ready. It's time for the staff to eat.)

(They all start enjoying a late dinner.)

(I really can't...)

(say this enough.)

You really did a great job of cooking this ramyeon.

(Me?)

I normally can't finish an entire bowl of ramyeon.

(Her endless compliments make him feel flustered.)

Should we sell ramyeon tomorrow, Ms. Youn?

Ramyeon may seem easy to cook, but it's harder than you think.

But he cooked it so nicely, and I loved the egg.

I can't finish one whole ramyeon, but I'm almost done with it.

And I don't like ramyeon that much.

I don't eat it that often.

(Blowing)

(Her head tells her to stop eating, but her hand won't stop.)

(The Ramyeon King is satisfied.)

(A cold winter night)

Seo Jin, are you cold?

Yes, it's cold.

(He covers himself with a warm wool blanket...)

(and drinks cold beer.)

Goodness, you ate so much.

(He almost ate an entire chicken.)

- Chicken must be your favorite. - He's even wearing gloves.

(The intern makes the VP smile by eating well.)

Gosh, that was so nice.

I really loved this ramyeon.

We should've cooked ramyeon for her sooner.

(The moonlight shines down on the bamboo forest.)

(The mathematicians climb back up after finishing their meals.)

(Dongbaek shines bright with lights even during the evening.)

Can I do it?

- This is so cute. - Hey.

Please join. The fire is on.

- Feels good. - Bring some blankets.

The best combination of chairs and blankets.

(They enjoy their beers together inside the warm lounge.)

Wi-Fi.

- Wi-Fi cheers. - Do you want beer?

So how was dinner?

It was very nice.

I had tteokbokki.

- Oh, tteokbokki? - Yes, it was really good.

They were really nice. I had it too.

It was actually my first time eating this kind of tteokbokki.

Because I only know the ones with the red sauce.

Oh, yes. I don't know what the sauce was,

- but I really liked it. - Yes, me too.

What did you have?

We actually...

shared everything. We ordered...

You ordered different things and shared?

Yes.

- What's your name? - My name is Deb.

- Den? - Deb.

- Deb? - D, E, B.

"D, E, B".

It was Deb's birthday today.

- It's your birthday today? - Really?

Yes, today.

(Happy birthday to you)

(He celebrates his birthday in a foreign country.)

(Happy birthday)

(Dear Deb)

(Happy birthday to you)

- Thank you so much. - Happy birthday.

(Happy birthday to you)

(They sing again in Korean.)

(This is the hard part.)

(Happy birthday, dear Deb)

(Laughing)

(Happy birthday to you)

Cheers.

(He receives a warm celebration from people he just met today.)

Did you know the actors who are here?

Yes, I watched...

- "Parasite". I watched... - Yes.

"Train to Busan".

"Train to Busan".

Who was in "Train to Busan"?

- The girl. - The girl was in it.

- The girl was in the movie? - Yes.

(This is that girl.)

She's a big star.

- "Train to Busan"? - She's a big star.

(Just then, two shadows approach Dongbaek.)

(It's Section Head Park and the intern.)

- Hello. - Hello.

(We brought more beer just in case you might want more.)

Thank you so much.

Were you guys having a party?

- It's Deb's birthday. - Yes.

- Oh, really? - Yes.

- Happy birthday. - Thank you.

I guess...

you can take this home if you want.

(Laughing)

- Are you allowed to say that? - Are you even allowed to say that?

(He's just an intern.)

I mean, if you can carry it. Yes.

I think Ms. Youn will scold you for this.

No, no.

This one is better.

- Go ahead. - No, not that one.

This one.

Just this one.

Just take it.

- Happy birthday. - Happy birthday.

- All right. - Thank you.

Have fun, guys.

- Bye. - See you tomorrow morning.

(The two employees go back to the management building.)

When you say you're mathematicians,

there are subsections to mathematics.

- Of course. - Do you do geometry, arithmetics,

or applied mathematics? What do you guys do?

I personally do sort of discrete geometry.

- Okay. Oh, I love that. - So I study...

I like solid geometry more than geometry.

(Surprised)

You seem very interested in mathematics.

Both my parents are physics professors.

So I've been damaged for life.

- You two do electrical engineering? - They were like "no".

"Do something that makes sense."

- I studied electrical engineering. - It's a good idea.

How high is the pressure to inject the mold into the plastic.

(They continued to talk about...)

(geometry and automobile parts until it got very late.)

You made us talk about geometry.

- I woke up a monster. - Yes.

(The night slowly starts to end for the mathematicians and engineers.)

It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside?

COSI?

Who came up with that word?

- What does that mean? - COSI.

Guess what it means.

(We prepared this for you.)

(A sudden quiz for new words)

COSI.

If you don't know what it means, you should retire.

I've never heard of it before.

(He's told to retire while eating chicken.)

- COSI? - Yes, COSI.

It means soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, right?

Yes, that's it.

- There's a word like that? - Yes.

I just heard it for the first time as well.

Are you saying we're the same?

No, I'm just saying I got it right.

- Crispy and soft. - But that's...

(Next quiz)

(Slipper influence area, You should try to guess it too)

Slipper influence area?

- "Slipper influence area"? - Yes.

Guess what it means.

I know what a station influence area means.

It's related to what you can do with the first word.

The first word of the term.

- Wearing slippers? - "Wearing slippers"?

Did you say "wearing slippers"?

Wrong!

What do you do with slippers?

Do you go out?

Going out?

Does it have anything to do with that?

Wrong.

Slippers?

Places where you can go wearing slippers!

(Thank you for the answer.)

You got it right.

Gosh, this one's weird.

A place where you can go wearing slippers?

(Second quiz, GV)

GB?

GV.

Does it have anything to do with funerals?

No, my gosh.

- You go there when someone dies. - Middle and high school kids say,

- "Hey, do you have a GV?" - They ask if they have a GV?

- "GV". - Global...

(Global...)

("Global"?)

Global Village?

(Ms. Youn bursts out laughing.)

(Correct answer rate: 0 percent, Level of contribution: 50 percent)

She said "global".

With that kind of logic, you can guess all sorts of things.

She said "global" first.

Adults use vouchers, right?

What kind of vouchers are there?

- Anything to do with literature? - "Literature"?

Gift vouchers.

- Gift vouchers? - Is that the right answer?

Is that so commonly used?

Kids use it to buy books.

(Third quiz, LCBE)

What are you even saying?

- LCBE? - What? LC?

Is it L or M?

- L. - L?

It's "L".

It's "L"! It starts with "L"!

- What comes after that? - "C".

- LCBE? - LCB... And then what? "E"?

(The business major starts to think.)

(It's an abbreviation.)

It's an abbreviated sentence.

Life is complicated, but enjoy it.

(She got it correct.)

(Impressed)

(No, let's get to my senses.)

I thought it might have...

something to do with shamanism.

(The great shaman, LCBE)

I thought it was some kind of a beef cut.

(He is so funny.)

- LCBE. - I thought of shamanism.

You thought it was some kind of a beef cut?

Do you know what PUTT means?

PUTT.

- P. - P.

- PUTT. - PUTT?

Picking up two teams tomorrow.

(Laughing)

My goodness.

Look at the sky.

(Let's get off work now.)

- Look over there. - Look at the sky.

(They all look at the stars.)

(They all go back to their rooms.)

I'm so tired.

(Chief Jung gets off work after everyone else does.)

- Woo Shik. - Yes?

I'll shower first since I need to leave before you.

Okay.

(Here is your towel.)

(Thank you.)

- Remember when we last came? - Yes.

I heard you snoring for the first time.

I snored?

It was really loud.

- It was loud? - Yes.

(Snoring)

(Woo Shik is snoring very loudly.)

So I figured you must've been really tired.

- I normally don't snore. - Exactly.

Seo Jin is cute.

I know. He's so cute.

(While Woo Shik and Seo Jun are getting ready for bed...)

Why is this open?

- Oh, it's yours? - It's mine.

I almost had some.

Help yourself.

- Yu Mi. - Yes?

You can be very unusual at times.

(Yu Mi stretches her body after she washes.)

(Flexible)

(Sun Wukong)

(After she finishes stretching, she goes to sleep.)

Woo Shik, where are you?

Where is he?

Woo Shik, wash up.

- Okay. - I just need to wash my face.

Got it.

(He lies down after he sends Woo Shik to the bathroom.)

(Woo Shik is done washing too.)

(He feels refreshed.)

Stop trying to take my blanket.

That's mine.

(Whining)

No, it's... You're making me angry.

(A few hours later)

(The alarm breaks the silence.)

(Current time: 6am)

(Chief Jung wakes up and goes to work at dawn.)

(The winter morning is dark.)

(Stumbling)

(She begins by washing her hands.)

(Why are the red beans in the pot already?)

(Last night)

(She left them in water so they will cook faster.)

(The red beans waited calmly for Yu Mi to return.)

(She boils the red beans beforehand.)

(She waits for a moment.)

(When the water comes to a boil, )

(she boils them once again.)

(Meanwhile, at the detached house...)

(Seo Jun comes outside.)

(The sous-chef heads to the kitchen this time.)

(Here are the stuff he checks early at dawn.)

(1. The red beans that Yu Mi left to boil)

(2. The vegetable broth)

(3. The guest information)

(What does he need to do next?)

(1. Defrost the dumplings)

(He puts on the sanitary gloves.)

(2. Leave the rice cake in the water to rest.)

(3. Write down the guest information)

(The sous-chef completes his mission.)

(The darkness slowly disappears.)

(1 hour later, the kitchen staff officially come to work.)

(Section Head Park is the first one to come to work.)

Good morning.

Let's have another great day.

(Soprano)

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Yu Mi, the stove for the red beans was turned off earlier.

What? Who turned it off?

- It just turned off. - Did it turn off on its own?

(She checks the red beans.)

They're still cooked.

- Really? - Yes.

(She boils them for 5 more minutes.)

The time...

We can make it.

(He takes out an ingredient.)

(It's an unfamiliar sound.)

(Manila clams?)

(The original breakfast menu consisted of...)

(tteokguk, red bean porridge, )

(and 3 side dishes.)

(This time, they added another menu.)

(The amazing combination of Manila clams and seaweed)

(The staple breakfast menu, seaweed tteokguk)

(But isn't seaweed soup something you eat on your birthday?)

(Last night, at Dongbaek...)

- It's Deb's birthday. - Yes.

- Oh, really? - Yes.

(He celebrated his birthday at Youn Stay.)

(Is that so?)

Then should we cook seaweed soup with clams tomorrow?

You should clean the clams today.

We can add rice cake into the seaweed soup.

- Let's add that. - Yes.

(Will Seo Jun's seaweed tteokguk become the best birthday present?)

Seo Jun, I soaked the seaweed in water.

Thank you.

I wanted to do the least I could to help.

You'll be doing the rest anyway.

(She even soaked the seaweed in water at dawn.)

(They're slowly getting bigger.)

(The clams still need to be cleaned.)

(Now let's begin cooking...)

(the rice cake dumpling soup and red bean porridge.)

(Yu Mi is in charge of the red bean porridge.)

(Seo Jun is in charge of cooking the rice cake dumpling soup.)

(She checks the red beans one last time.)

(They're good to go.)

(She pours out the water.)

(The she mixes the red beans with a hand mixer.)

The red beans are cooked nicely.

(She adds sugar.)

(She makes sure it tastes sweet for the foreign guests.)

How long do we need to boil this? 15 minutes?

Around 10 to... Around 10 minutes.

(She's almost done with the red bean porridge.)

This is so exhausting.

(She finishes cooking the red bean porridge.)

(Today, they're going to add dumplings to tteokguk.)

(The original menu was tteokguk.)

(But this time, they're making rice cake dumpling soup.)

(You can enjoy the dumplings with extra fillings.)

(So how many meat dumplings, and how many vegetable dumplings?)

(Let me check the guests first.)

(Things to check for breakfast)

(Rice cake dumpling soup for the German couple, Afarin, and Laura)

(Seaweed tteokguk for Kevin)

(He gets ready to steam the meat and vegetable dumplings.)

(He makes sure the dumplings don't stick together.)

(He steams them.)

And now...

(He places the vegetable stock on top of the induction cooktop.)

(He adds the rice cake.)

(He adds soup soy sauce.)

(Then he pours in the egg into the boiling broth.)

(The rice cake dumpling soup is almost done too.)

(The Hall Team comes to work at 7:55am.)

(Vice-president Lee goes inside.)

Hey, you're here.

- Are you done? - No, not yet.

- It looks weird. - No, it's...

(Kidding)

It's too early for jokes.

Seo Jin always has a problem with what I make.

(The intern also comes to work.)

Hello.

(Frowning)

Hey.

Why are you coming to work with a frown?

My stomach hurts.

Why does your stomach hurt?

I think you're whining.

- I'm serious. - I need to go to the bathroom.

(He wanders around.)

(He wanders around.)

- Woo Shik. - Yes?

We need to peel the mandarines.

(He keeps wandering around.)

- We need to peel the mandarines. - Oh, okay.

I'll go to the bathroom after I peel the mandarines.

(He acts like he's in pain again.)

(Seo Jin doesn't believe him.)

You're lying, aren't you?

No, I'm not.

I should watch the show...

and see if I lied or not.

If it turns out I lied a lot,

then I will keep my mouth shut.

(You will keep your mouth shut?)

(Woo Shik's first lie)

Two more servings of chicken.

(Two more servings of chicken.)

(Silent)

I'm kidding.

Hey, drag him out of here.

(Woo Shik's second lie)

The persimmons are ripe.

Gosh, you startled me. What's the matter with you?

- Seo Jun. - Yes?

Here's some hallabong.

I heard it's really sour.

- What? - I heard it's sour.

Look at you trying to put on a poker face again.

(Do you admit it now?)

(He opens the fridge out in the hall.)

(He takes out an expensive fruit.)

(Let's start making healthy juice.)

(Shine muscat, mandarine)

Look.

Seriously.

It's the expensive fruit.

(He washes his hands.)

(Then he washes the shine muscats.)

(They each take turns putting in the fruit.)

(They fill it with mandarines.)

(Then they slowly add shine muscats one by one.)

(A refreshing drink comes out of the juicer.)

(The healthy juice is ready to be served.)

- Do you want to try it? - Yes.

(They always try the juice every day.)

(He takes a sip feeling nervous.)

(He starts to put on an act.)

(He purposely takes another sip.)

(He passes it to Seo Jin without saying anything.)

(Nervous)

(He feels anxious.)

(How does it taste?)

It's good.

(He lies again.)

Hello, Ms. Youn.

Hello.

Ms. Youn is here.

- Hey, Ms. Youn. - Hi.

What's the name of the guy who had his birthday yesterday?

Deb.

- Deb? - Deb.

- Deb. - Deb.

(She checks the birthday boy's name as soon as she comes to work.)

(He starts making seaweed tteokguk for Deb.)

(Once the clams are clean, he washes it down with water.)

(Then he puts them in the pot.)

(He pours sesame oil on top of the Manila clams.)

(After that, he adds some cooking wine.)

(This is to get rid of the smell.)

(The seaweed that Yu Mi soaked in water is ready to be cooked.)

(It's for his birthday, so let's be generous.)

(He's practically cooking with his eyes.)

(He stir-fries the ingredients.)

(He doesn't let the steam get in his way.)

(Once the clams start to open, he adds water.)

(He also adds rice cake for a hearty meal.)

(He brings it to a boil.)

(He opens the lid.)

(He adds salt.)

(He adds a big spoonful of soup soy sauce.)

(He makes sure it's seasoned well.)

(He tastes the soup.)

It's perfect.

(The seaweed tteokguk is ready to be served.)

(It's also time for the guests to greet a new morning.)

(The morning sun beams down through the cold air.)

(The sunshine permeates through the stone path.)

(Room Seon)

There are weird sounds like barking.

I think it's the morning call.

(Youn Stay's morning call 1)

(Youn Stay's morning call 2)

Did you sleep okay?

Yes, I think so.

- Sometimes it was a little too hot. - Yes.

When I woke up in the morning, I was sweating.

- Ladies. - Yes?

Time to go.

Let's go.

It's time to go have coffee.

(The guests from Germany and Georgia are coming down for breakfast.)

I should bring these first.

3, 4, and 6.

(The guests from Germany and Georgia are in the front yard already.)

They're here already.

- Hi. Good morning. - Good morning.

(He wants to say good morning in German.)

(He says good morning in German.)

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Did you sleep okay? - Yes.

How was the room temperature? Was it...

It was hot and cold.

Hot and cold. Exactly.

That's good for your skin.

The air is cold, and the bottom is...

- It's very nice. - Amazing.

(I'll see you soon.)

Do you guys want to use this room today?

Yes, sure.

Is there coffee in there?

I have it right here.

I'll get the cups.

(Woo Shik goes back to bring some cups.)

(The guests come into the room.)

Today, you guys are wearing...

(They are wearing similar colors again.)

(They also had the telepathy yesterday.)

(So, Tomas, I think...)

(you have to sit there.)

(Stern)

(She found it embarrassing, so they even changed seats.)

We'll sit together in the morning.

You guys took the whole coffee.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

You guys slept good, right?

- Yes, really well. - Yes. Thank you.

What about you? You look a little bit disheveled.

(He seems to be half asleep.)

Don't say that.

That's just the fashion. That's just his hair.

I look really messy today, right?

No, just natural. That's good.

(Thank you.)

Did you sleep inside or outside?

I slept inside.

- I'm sorry. - It's all right.

(Woo Shik who looks disheveled today...)

(brings coffee to other rooms.)

(Have a good day, Intern.)

(The vice-president prepares healthy juice right away.)

(He delivers freshness.)

It's so cold that I don't want to go out.

You'll feel hot soon. Don't worry.

(Here comes healthy juice.)

(The 6 guests from IBS are coming down.)

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Good morning. Come this way.

Okay. Oh, everyone's here.

The same room.

Did you guys sleep well?

Yes. It was good.

Melting bodies with freezing faces.

- Yes. - That's right.

I'll be right back with you.

(He serves the healthy juice to the guests in Nan first.)

This is freshly squeezed...

mandarine and shine muscat.

(Interested)

What time did you guys sleep yesterday?

- 11? - 11?

- 12. - I had a nice sleep.

You were talking in the room. I told you.

(Meanwhile, the 6 guests from IBS are getting into Juk.)

Should we sit in the same positions?

Or just natural?

It doesn't have to be the same.

(They just take seats in the order of arrival.)

I'm the only person who's in the same seat.

(Last night)

(They all changed seats except for Deb.)

There could have been a rearrangement.

Yes. That's fine.

Here. Let's swap.

Let's swap.

(Benjamin is watching it with a smile.)

I think, in this case, I can calculate the...

The probability of uniformity...

(He talks about the chances of this sitting condition.)

(He sounds like a rigid mathematician.)

(He likes to do the math in the morning.)

One is fresh. It's from yesterday.

- This is good. - This is from yesterday.

(Tomas takes a sip of the healthy juice too.)

- How is the juice? - Nice.

- Is it good? - It's freshly squeezed.

- It tastes good. Try it. - Help yourself.

We just...

No sugar added. It's freshly squeezed.

It's so special.

(CEO Youn is bringing cups to Juk.)

(Woo Shik is heading to another room.)

Let me open the door for you.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

How was last night?

Was it okay? Was the room temperature good?

- Very good. - Good.

- It was very warm. - Very comfortable.

Could you pass this?

(They set the cups from the inside.)

Whose birthday is it today?

- It was Deb's birthday. - It was yesterday.

Oh, yesterday.

In this hotel, today is your birthday.

The news travels fast.

Yes. Exactly.

News travels really fast.

Especially rumors.

Okay.

I think they are cooking some birthday soup.

- For you. - Okay.

That's lovely.

Wait. You'll be surprised.

(The CEO leaves.)

I think I know the answer.

For what?

It's spoiling the surprise. I think they are making...

some traditional birthday soup.

Then I can pass.

Right. That's going to be hot.

(They are getting busy.)

(Making red bean porridge and rice cake dumpling soup)

- Can I try a rice cake ball? - Yes.

(She puts it in her mouth.)

Is it cooked nicely?

- It's cooked. - Is it?

We should put them in cold water.

(They dip the rice balls in cold water to cool them down.)

(Then they put them in red bean porridge right away.)

We made good rice balls yesterday.

We worked hard for these.

I guess our hard work paid off.

(Meanwhile, Seo Jun is...)

(chopping leeks and dried laver for his dumpling soup.)

Are you ready?

- Yes. - Yes.

(Everything is ready to be served right away from the hall.)

Good morning.

Good morning. I like your hair.

I like your hair.

(Shaggy)

(His shaggy hair is popular with the guests.)

Did you sleep well?

Yes. Thank you.

Where's Shacarol?

- She'll be here in two minutes. - Okay.

Well, this room.

(He guides the guests to Guk.)

There's coffee in the pot.

Thank you.

(There's the CEO.)

Hi.

- Good morning. - Do you want this?

No, I'm fine.

It's okay.

It's still cold.

This is a different room. It looks ancient.

Okay.

I'll take a photo.

(I was being tactless.)

I'm leaving.

(I should take photos of this too.)

I can hear my stomach. It's like...

"I need food."

(Woo Shik goes to refill coffee for the guests in Nan.)

- There you go. - Oh, thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

I love you too.

(Again all of a sudden?)

Cute.

- You are so cute. - No.

He's cute. Look at him.

(Smiling)

A pretty flower.

(They don't know how to react.)

(Shy)

(I won't look.)

(He's embarrassed, so he just smiles.)

Let's go outside. I think it's warm right now.

Let's just leave.

(At the same time, the guests in Juk are being quiet.)

Did you guys sleep well last night?

I slept better than I feared.

I think I slept better here than when I was at home.

- Obviously. - Oh, really?

I don't sleep well.

But I think I slept pretty well here.

Interesting.

I usually sleep with my face on the floor...

and with a pillow like here.

It's just like a very large surface area.

You can't do that here.

Your face will be really red.

The four people from Germany.

- Are they here? - Four people?

The six guests are here too. You should prepare food.

We have seaweed soup for them.

Four people first.

(They take out the bowls needed first.)

- Can we fill the bowls? - He told us to fill them.

Let's do that.

(Working in perfect harmony)

(A bowl of rice cake and dumpling soup)

(A bowl of red bean porridge)

Four people first.

(It's just easy to prepare four servings.)

(Meat and vegan dumplings)

(Two servings of meat dumplings)

(Two servings of vegan dumplings)

(He garnishes the dishes with leek and laver.)

Dongchimi and pickled plum.

(In the meantime, Seo Jin sets the side dishes.)

(Pickled plum, dongchimi, seasoned dried radish)

(He even has time to make coffee.)

Are they all out?

(What happened in the kitchen where everything was going fine?)

(She was scooping the last serving of red bean porridge.)

Oh, right. Hang on. Ms. Youn.

The dates. Dates...

(This is how the red bean porridge is supposed to look.)

(She forgot to add the rolled-up dates.)

(She asks for help while scooping up the porridge.)

Are they all out?

Did Ms. Youn leave?

Come and slice the dates. Hurry.

I need you to slice the dates.

(He comes in to help.)

Find the rolled-up dates over there.

Hurry. Hang on.

(She's busy scooping up the porridge and decorating it.)

Hurry.

- You should've done this sooner. - I just forgot.

Seo Jin, make it thin.

That's not it.

I mean the rolled ones.

What?

I'll do it.

- What? - I need four pieces first.

I didn't know he brought the whole dates.

(She finished it right away with Seo Jun's help.)

(The rice cake dumpling soup is served too.)

Let's take one each.

I'll carry this one.

- Is this vegan? - Yes.

- These two. - Okay. It's vegan.

(Seo Jin prepares healthy juice for guests in Guk and Juk.)

(They are for the guests from IBS.)

(For the guests from University of Science and Technology)

I'll come with you.

(He serves 9 cups of healthy juice.)

The train is coming out.

(Woo Shik serves juice to Guk and Juk first.)

(He sees Shacarol looking for her room.)

Well, the... The...

Yes. The right one.

Follow me.

Okay.

(The staff are following CEO Youn.)

Good morning, Shacarol.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Do you need help?

It's okay.

Yu Mi and I will go in first.

(The intern arrives at Juk first.)

This is freshly squeezed mandarine and shine muscat.

And coffee.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

That's great.

(Then he goes to Guk.)

This is freshly squeezed mandarine and shine muscat.

Wait a minute.

- Your breakfast is served. - Really?

Your Royal Highness.

This is vegetarian.

- Thank you so much. - You want vegetables, right?

You're vegan.

This is vegetable dumplings.

You are also vegetarian.

They are husband and wife.

She's the chef. The main chef.

Yesterday as well?

Your food was delicious.

Both of them are working so hard in the kitchen.

- Thank you. - I imagined.

(CEO Youn takes good care of Yu Mi and Seo Jun.)

- Your room... - Thank you.

- Thank you very much. - Enjoy.

(The Kitchen Team can't stand the cold.)

(I'll go on ahead.)

It's so cold.

(Running hurriedly)

We usually eat this in winter time.

Right before the New Year.

It makes your immune system strong.

And it destroys evils. I mean the red beans.

So I think only Asians eat this kind of beans.

You don't have this bean.

- No. - What we have is bigger in size.

Right. It's bigger, but this one is very small.

I think I've seen it here.

- Try it. - This is my first time to try it.

Enjoy the breakfast.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - It's special.

That looks amazing.

(I'll take photos of it.)

(Look over here.)

Smile.

(Smiling)

You guys are so cute.

Wearing matching cream-colored outfits.

Oh, come on.

It's adorable. Why don't you like it?

Okay.

(That's it.)

Ma'am, eat your meal.

Enjoy.

Is this plum or something?

Oh, right. It's good.

- I love plum. - You love that?

(He tries the rice ball.)

(They try the rice cake and dumpling soup too.)

(Amazed)

Does it belong... Oh, it's not here.

(The vegan guests try the vegan dumplings.)

It's so amazing. Delicious.

It's really amazing.

What's in there?

- Tofu, maybe? - Right.

It's really hard to find vegetarian dumplings in Korea.

Almost impossible.

(Enjoy it here today.)

It goes well with the seaweed. A nice combination.

(The royal people are having a satisfying meal.)

Woo Shik, can we prepare six servings now?

Yes.

(It's time to prepare seaweed tteokguk for the guests from IBS.)

(He puts in a lot of rice cake pieces.)

(With Seo Jun's wish for a happy birthday)

It's slippery.

I'll bring it. Do we need to garnish it?

(With Yuh Jung's warm heart, )

(the seaweed tteokguk is served.)

(It also has Seo Jin's heart in it.)

Does it go on the right side?

(Take red bean porridge with you.)

The seaweed tteokguk looks delicious.

(It's a birthday meal for Deb and his friends.)

- We should go now. - Okay. Let's go.

We need one more person.

I'll serve this and run back quickly.

(Hesitant)

Pull yourselves together.

You pull yourself together.

(Giggling)

(Hesitant)

- I'll... - Just go.

- I'll go first. And you'll... - We have to go anyway. Just go.

(They leave the hall together.)

Please tell them we eat seaweed soup on birthday in Korea.

- Seaweed soup? - Yes. On birthday,

we eat seaweed soup here.

(A special birthday meal is coming.)

(Seo Jun goes back to bring one more tray.)

Okay. For the birthday boy first.

(The birthday boy is thrilled.)

Okay. Make room for us.

This is for the non-birthday boy.

(The food is all the same though.)

(Seo Jun brought one more tray.)

Leave it there, Seo Jun. You can go back. It's cold.

(He sends the Kitchen Team back first.)

(He runs back to the kitchen to cook for the next guests.)

It's seaweed soup. It's special seaweed.

I think it has a lot of iron in it.

In old days, after delivery,

mothers had to take some iron.

That's why we had to eat this seaweed soup.

It's a special dish for the mother.

After the birth.

In order to remember our mothers' pain,

we eat this seaweed soup on our birthdays.

So just remember your mother and enjoy the soup.

(Mom...)

(Teary eyes)

So please enjoy the meal.

- It's very nice. Thank you. - Thank you very much.

(The birthday boy is really excited.)

(He tries the warm seaweed tteokguk first.)

They usually try to double...

(He can't put his spoon down.)

- So people want to... - Yes. Sometimes they want to...

The purpose of...

(Savoring the food)

(The vegetarian guest enjoys the dish too.)

(He tastes the rice cake in the seaweed tteokguk.)

This is nice.

(While the guests in Juk enjoy the birthday meal, )

(she blows on her juice and takes a sip of it.)

Nice.

(They drink the morning vitamins all together.)

Oh, it's...

A bit different.

An interesting bell.

(Is there anyone out there?)

Is it too early in the morning...

to ring the bell?

- And we have different flowers too. - Yes.

I noticed.

(The room they stayed in last night had red flowers.)

(Each room has different flowers and different bells.)

(They wait for guests.)

What do you guess about the food?

- No idea. - I found they were eating...

some kind of porridge or soup.

Okay. Fine.

(Excited)

All right.

Once we serve three more guests, it's over.

(They are working on it already.)

All right. This is for Laura.

(He puts the same tteokguk in 3 bowls.)

(A meat dumpling, egg, and laver for Shacarol)

(A vegetable dumpling, egg, and no laver for Laura)

This is for Laura.

Which one?

- The one at the end is for Laura. - The empty one?

Afarin and Shacarol.

Shacarol.

(Yu Mi scoops up red bean porridge.)

(And Yuh Jung gives it the finishing touches.)

(The last servings of red bean porridge)

(Yuh Jung is at the head.)

(The last breakfast is served.)

(CEO Youn leads them.)

(The train to Guk is leaving.)

The chefs are coming.

(Guess who's the chef among these guys.)

Good morning.

Good morning. Laura.

- Good morning. - This is for Laura.

This is for the vegetarian.

Thank you.

- Afarin. - Afarin.

- For you. - Thank you.

Yummy.

(He's carrying the tteokguk for Shacarol.)

- Thank you. - Shacarol.

Am I saying it right?

- You're saying it perfect. - Good.

I nailed it.

Let me explain the food.

(The door)

(Woo Shik)

(Close the door.)

(The CEO showed some mime.)

Okay.

You are probably familiar with this. It's tteokguk.

- I love tteokguk. - Yes.

This is for the New Year's Day.

And we put in some dumplings.

This is for the vegetarian.

- I see. - It's a dumpling.

This one is called red bean porridge.

They say red beans shoo away some evil spirits.

At the end of the last season of the year,

we try to get away from evil.

It all has meanings.

So enjoy.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you.

I appreciate it.

We left out the seaweed.

- Thank you very much. - They are very thoughtful.

- I think so. - For all of you.

So please enjoy it.

- Thank you. - Thank you so much.

Can I take your juice?

- I didn't finish it. - Okay. I'm sorry.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

Let's enjoy.

(They try the tteokguk with dumplings first.)

It's delicious.

Yes.

It's the best tteokguk I've ever...

- Yes. - had.

(High praise)

(Savoring the food)

(Impressed)

(Then she takes a big bite of her vegetarian dumpling.)

This is so delicious.

I don't want to finish it.

Okay. I love this.

It's your turn now.

(She tries the red bean porridge that helps her avert misfortunes.)

This is a bit sweet.

(Let me try it.)

(Wait, this tastes like...)

(They can't help but keep going back for it.)

How is this one?

Yes?

I wonder if they were able to sleep enough.

Because they had to wake up early to make all the food, right?

That's right.

I prefer the salty breakfast.

You prefer the salty breakfast, right?

What's it called again? Empress? No.

- Royal Highness. - Royal Highness.

You really liked that, didn't you?

Of course.

It's like...

In the K-drama called "Kingdom".

- They all... - The one about zombies?

"Kingdom" was actually really nice.

(She takes a bite of the rice cake.)

It's a historical drama,

and it was shot at historical places.

With historical zombies.

At first when I saw the poster,

I thought it'd just going to be a historical drama.

And then we watched it, and suddenly zombies came into the plot.

I was like, what an interesting combination.

It's like beer with orange juice.

You wouldn't expect it to taste good.

It must've been so expensive to produce that drama.

- Yes, that's what I thought. - You have to set up...

the Joseon Dynasty film set.

It films at a place two hours away from Seoul.

It's a historical film set.

So we got to this place. It was just beautiful.

Yours is empty.

Yes, because it's delicious.

This is empty, and this is almost empty.

How fast can you eat?

Done.

(Tomas drinks from the bowl.)

(Even the guests at Juk drink from the bowl too.)

(The birthday boy tries the red bean porridge.)

(The charm of the red bean porridge is the rice cake balls.)

The porridge is quite sweet.

- They put a lot of care into this. - Yes.

(That's right.)

If I can make this for myself every morning,

I might even give up oatmeal.

I really love this.

What if it takes you three hours to make it?

- That's right. - Well...

(When the guests are almost done with their meal...)

The breakfast is done!

Don't follow me around.

(She's done with the morning task.)

I'm so hungry. What are we having for breakfast?

- I thought your stomach hurt. - But I'm hungry now.

Gosh, you.

I'm hungry!

You keep going back and forth.

What kind of juice did you make today?

- Mandarines... - Mandarines and shine muscat.

(Touching)

- Are you going to make me one? - What? No.

It takes really long to make one.

(But I want to drink it.)

You don't like juice.

- I love it. I love mandarine juice. - Don't you lie to me.

I've told many times that I like mandarine juice.

(Feeling sad)

(Pressuring him silently)

(Studying her)

(Laughing bashfully)

How is that tiring?

Is it so hard to make one?

(She pushes shine muscat toward him.)

(He was going to make one for her anyway.)

Why did you add the peels?

- I did? No, I didn't. - Yes, you did.

Why did you add the peels?

They must've gotten in there by accident.

- Did you put them in? - Yes, he did.

- Woo Shik did it. - No, I didn't.

- You must finish the whole thing. - Sure.

(She finally gets a taste of it.)

- What's this? - It's really good, isn't it?

Yes. No! It's mine!

(They end up sharing it happily.)

(Intern Choi comes outside after having some juice.)

(It's a long yawn.)

(The VP also yawns for a long time.)

Hot tea! Hot tea, anyone?

(He looks like a boy selling barley tea.)

(Here!)

- Yes. - Hello, sir.

- You asked for me? - Please give us more coffee.

Oh, coffee?

This is hot tea. I'll grab more coffee.

- Here. - Oh, okay.

(Have some hot barley tea first.)

Thank you.

- Thanks. - Yes.

- And you wanted coffee, right? - We appreciate it.

Hot tea! No?

(Okay, bye.)

(I got some hot tea here.)

- Hot tea? Yes? - Yes, please.

(He succeeds in selling the tea to the guests in Juk.)

- I'll just give you guys this. - Yes, okay. Thank you.

(He refills coffee for the guests in Nan.)

- Coffee! - Thank you.

- Yes! - Thank you.

(Struggling)

He's definitely paid by the meter.

The sky is beautiful today.

They're eating the persimmons.

The persimmons are left there for the birds to feed on.

(They gaze into the sky and take a little break.)

(Intern Choi spaces out too.)

Just enjoying the sunshine.

(He's used to Woo Shik being dorky.)

(They decided to enjoy their break with coffee.)

Is that coffee?

(Grunting)

(Scolding him with her eyes)

You were startled, right?

He sounds like a grandpa.

I'll fry the dumplings now.

Dumplings?

(He takes out the leftover dumplings from breakfast.)

Can you manage it alone?

No, I need your help.

Be careful. Be careful.

(His task is to worry about Seo Jun.)

(The frozen dumplings...)

(Golden brown)

(Golden brown)

(While Seo Jun is frying dumplings...)

It's be good to have it with kimchi.

(Woo Shik decides to get the side dishes.)

(Salted pollack roe)

(He takes his favorite, salted pollack roe, first.)

(He also takes out the cucumber kimchi Yu Mi brought.)

It looks so good.

Is it so good that you'd smack your knee?

(Cucumber kimchi!)

(You are mine!)

I'll have a bit of tteokguk.

- We're having seaweed soup? - Yes.

Then you should add these to tteokguk.

No, I don't want it. I want the fried ones.

(Squabbling)

(Yu Mi is after fried dumplings.)

It's so hot.

(Exclaiming)

Spit it out.

(He's sweet.)

(I can't spit out what Seo Jun made for us.)

It's good.

It's so good.

What is she saying?

(We need to share what's hot.)

It's so hot.

(It's the best!)

Yes!

(Exclaiming)

There's only one spoon though.

- Spoon? I think there's more here. - Should we wash them?

(The chopsticks...)

(Where did they go?)

(Intern Choi sounds like an old man.)

- Should I bring scissors? - It's nice.

The dumplings are too big to have in one bite.

Is it hot?

The soup is nice.

(CEO Youn also has a bite of Section Head Park's soup.)

What did you add in the seaweed soup?

- Clams? - Manila clams.

I made it for my mom on her birthday.

I should try the dumplings.

- They're cooled down. - You can have it now.

I can have only half of it.

This is...

Seeing how you finished the whole ramyeon yesterday,

I think you can finish the dumpling.

She's been lying the whole time.

I really enjoyed the ramyeon yesterday.

(Let me try the dumpling.)

- Take a big bite. From the side. - Eat it from the side.

You should eat it from the side.

(She's adorable.)

Isn't it good?

It's good.

Who made this soy sauce?

I added vinegar to soy sauce.

Now you have full trust in Seo Jun's food.

- After he made ramyeon for her. - That's after I tasted his ramyeon.

I'm pretty simple, you see.

I need to study instant foods more.

Everyone knows it.

(The dumpling fell into soy sauce.)

- Oh, no. - You showered it with soy sauce.

Oh, gosh. This is so annoying.

What a waste.

I'll cut it for you.

(Yuh Jung enjoys the dumpling again.)

You must really love salted pollack roe.

This salted pollack roe is really good.

- Take the leftover. - There must be a lot.

- You should take it home. - Sure.

Not you. I meant Yu Mi.

- Oh, not me? - Yes, not you.

(CEO Youn teases the intern.)

Give it to Seo Jun so he can give it to his mom.

- Not you. - Yes.

Not you.

- No, she meant me. - No, I didn't.

(Laughing)

(CEO Youn ends up finishing the whole dumpling.)

- Darling? - Yes?

Shall we use the kite?

- Oh, I'd love to. Yes. - That sounds good.

Did you ever use a kite?

20 years ago?

(I see.)

(The guests of Nan get ready to leave.)

(The guests of Juk come outside after their breakfast.)

(They head to their lodging.)

(The guests from the University of Science and Technology...)

(are done with their meal too.)

Oh, it's warm. Come!

- Yes! - It's nice and warm.

Let's sleep again.

Oh, it's so warm.

Oh, my gosh. I love this.

(They fold the blankets.)

And the pillows.

Yes!

Oh, by the way, we should write some message for them.

Yes.

Should I try to write it in Korean?

You could try.

- Okay. - Is it okay?

I wrote "staff", but they translated it into "employee".

Yes, I think "staff" would be better.

Yes.

We need a better deep learning software.

Instead of "understood", maybe we can use...

"thank you for your effort".

I think it's better to tell them we appreciate their effort.

- Yes. - Okay.

I thought it was really nice that they took good care of us.

(They put all their heart into writing a message in Korean.)

(Dear lovely staff members.)

(Thank you for taking good care of us.)

(Laura from Spain also leaves a message.)

(Thank you from the bottom of my heart.)

(We wish you good luck.)

(Shacarol from America expresses her feelings.)

(It was the best Korean experience. Thanks for saying my name right.)

(Meanwhile, in Seon.)

- Your Royal Highness. - Yes?

Your Highness?

- Yes? - We're listening.

Are you joining us to visit the lake?

We'll meet you somewhere.

- Okay. - We will find you.

A message to you.

- A message to our hosts? - We have to write it.

Here are some of our favorite things.

For me... What were some of my favorite things?

Ms. Youn's explanation.

- I was going to say this. - You can say it.

- No. - We can have...

the same favorite things.

(The meaning of the ssuk waffle...)

(and red bean porridge.)

Woo Shik's uniform...

signifying the double job.

Okay. I think that's me.

You took everything.

No, I didn't.

There's like 1,000 things that I could write.

We should text the boys and ask...

what were some of their favorite things.

Tomas' favorite thing, I can tell you what it was.

- What was it? - When Woo Shik brought the beer.

(Last night in Dongbaek, when the beer arrived)

(I love beer.)

(Woo Shik, Seo Jun, beer)

(A German's love of beer)

That cannot be his favorite thing at the hanok stay.

- Hello? Hi. - Hi.

So what are some of the favorite things for you?

I really loved the lounge and the fireplace.

- Hi, Tomas. - Hi. Good morning.

Can you tell us what was your favorite thing so far?

For me it was having dinner in a hanok.

What exactly of the dinner did you enjoy most?

(Well...)

Tteokbokki waffle.

Tteokbokki and the waffle?

Yes. Tteokbokki waffle ice cream.

(Gungjung tteokbokki, mugwort injeolmi waffle)

(Tomas' favorite is the tteokbokki ice cream waffle not from the menu)

(Helena writes down everyone's story with care.)

- You okay? - I love it.

(Release a cook book!)

(Ms. Youn's lovely, please adopt us.)

(Meanwhile, Jin where the mathematicians are staying)

Oh, by the way, we should do this now before we forget.

Write them a message?

So what do we say...

- besides "thank you"? - Yes. What do we say?

We need to think of something actually.

You know, meaningful.

How do I put it into words, right? I mean, this is the most...

Tell, tell me what to write.

- Come on, come on. - I'm going to say something,

don't write it yet.

"Thank you for this opportunity of a lifetime."

Yes, I like what you suggested.

"For this unique experience."

That's better wording.

- That's a good idea. - "A unique experience."

"Thank you for the unique experience"?

Oh, that's it?

"Thank you for this unique experience"?

(5 minutes later)

"Thank you for this unique experience."

"We had a wonderful time."

Yes, that sounds good.

"A wonderful time enjoying your hospitality."

"The gracious hospitality."

"Gracious hospitality"?

- Yes, "gracious". - "Gracious hospitality".

How many mathematicians does it take to...

write a heartfelt letter?

(1 minute later)

G equals...

bracket V comma E and graph.

This equation is a graph and this doesn't make sense.

(2 minutes later)

Okay. So the next line is...

We cannot find any more words?

"Gracious hospitality".

"We're not able to put into words..."

- "our gratitude." - Yes.

That actually works.

(30 seconds later)

"We're not able to put into words..."

"the extent of our gratitude."

"The extent of our gratitude."

Then write the Korean word for thank you...

- on the very bottom. - Okay.

- That would be nice. - I like that.

"Thank you, yo"?

- "Yo"? - No.

The word in itself is already polite.

"Thank you". Yes.

- So you're going to just draw it? - I was going to draw it.

Maybe a bit bigger and centered and featured.

- "Centered"? - "Centered"?

- I don't think that's very good. - Gosh.

That is heartfelt, right?

- What else... - It is correct.

Pascal is definitely better than you.

Yes.

Good job.

(Thank you.)

- What time's the pick-up, Woo Shik? - 2:30pm.

How many are coming today?

(Day 3 of the winter season, it's the last batch of guests.)

(A total of 12 made a reservation.)

Today we're accepting the last group of guests.

I have good news.

What news? A cancellation?

(He feels a cancellation.)

It's a cancellation.

- A team canceled. - Oh, yes.

- One team had a work thing. - Oh, yes.

- So they had no choice. - God bless them.

- Wow. - So nine people...

If the deities won't bless them, I want to.

What a pity.

Did you hear that? My gosh.

They can't come because of work?

I'm glad it's not a health issue.

You worry for their health?

Wow. Woo Shik.

You're worse than Kim Yong Gun.

That was so funny.

- Yong Gun's a sweet guy. - Yes.

He's Ha Jung Woo's dad.

He's nice.

(Kim Yong Gun, Ha Jung Woo's dad, nice)

Are any of the nine vegetarian?

One is.

The team that can't come was to stay in Mi?

Let's move the other team to Mi.

You sorted it out so quickly.

(They're mentally prepared for the next round of guests.)

(The mathematicians exit Jin.)

(The math athletes are entering...)

(the field.)

(Kevin shows an interest in the soccer ball.)

(Shoot!)

(Casey strikes.)

(A clean pass!)

(And so the match ends.)

(The mathematicians draw a triangle.)

(An unexpected goal)

They're playing football.

(Tomas: Likes beer, soccer, and Helena)

(Tomas and Helena try to fly a kite.)

(Helena is Tomas' sole focus.)

(Each time the kite falls, )

(he rushes over to pick it up.)

(Though she isn't sure what to do, when told, )

(she learns as best she can.)

(After a few tries, )

(the kite catches a breeze.)

(It soars high.)

(Helena's the best.)

(The soccer team's impressed.)

(The writers walk around the lake one last time.)

(The Germany and Georgia team take a walk after the kite-flying.)

(They take photos to remember the fun they had.)

(Then they walk back with light steps.)

(Waiting for the guests to leave)

- It's check-out time. - Why aren't they here?

(The intern goes to check.)

(The CEO's curious too.)

The guests are coming.

(The Germany and Georgia team are here to check out.)

The guests are here.

(Send them in.)

Yes, come in.

- Hello. - Hello.

Did you have a nice time here?

A really great stay.

- The hanok experience. - Thank you.

Thank you so much for having us.

Thanks for coming.

You put so much work in it.

There were so many lovely details.

The menu. The food was really nice.

We're so happy you noticed.

(Pleased)

- It's time to pay. - Yes.

(While the Germany and Georgia team pays, )

(the intern helps the university students.)

Oh, the guys are coming too.

(The IBS guests are on their way down.)

(The three groups rush in at the same time.)

Come on in, come on in.

Come on in, come on in.

We're doing fine. We managed all right.

Yes. The stay was really good. Thank you.

How are you guys going to pay?

Separate or...

Our two rooms?

- I think that's okay. - Maybe two rooms.

They can calculate between themselves.

They're experts in mathematics.

We're not good at mathematics.

325 dollars each.

For two, right? Yes.

It's a very good price for very nice service.

It is.

(The last team pays.)

Here you go. Thank you.

Let's take some photos.

Photo time.

(The Germany and Georgia group pose.)

- All right. - All right.

- Are you ready? - Yes.

Kimchi.

- Kimchi. - Kimchi.

Mandu.

- Mandu. - Mandu.

Makgeolli.

(The last cheer is for makgeolli.)

- Thank you. Thank you, guys. - Thank you very much.

It was a pleasure to have you.

- So amazing. Thank you very much. - Thank you.

There's just too many people.

Hello.

I want to stand next to you.

1, 2, 3.

Do something crazy. Something interesting.

- Crazy. - Okay.

Great.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- It was lovely to have you here. - Thank you.

- Bye. - Thank you.

You're very welcome.

(It's time to part.)

- Okay, bye-bye. - Thank you. Thank you.

- Bye. - Thank you.

(The second round of guests of the winter season are sent off.)

(Now the staff have some time to themselves.)

I have some washing to do.

(CEO Youn decides to do some laundry as the day is nice.)

(It's a nice day to wash clothes.)

(She puts the laundry in which they kept for a sunny day.)

(To clean them thoroughly, )

(she adds the specially prepared detergent.)

(Please be clean.)

All right, I'll gather it all in one place.

Paper wrappers.

(Gathering the plates together)

(After a while, )

(it piles up this much.)

This is dangerous.

(Passing one cup to the vice president)

(A suspicious facial expression)

(Passing another one?)

- Why do you keep moving it here? - It's dangerous.

Why, you...

Oh, dear. Why is this so heavy?

(The intern is happy to make fun of the vice president.)

(Meanwhile, Chief Jung is thinking hard.)

(She looks determined.)

- Section Head Park. - Yes?

- You can do it, right? - Yes.

- Let's do it. - Okay.

(The Serving Team is coming back after cleaning up.)

Today at 7pm...

(7pm?)

(Polite)

We're going to serve them altogether.

- All nine? - Yes.

Come whenever you want to.

(All nine)

- For dinner? - Yes.

You mean you can serve all nine at the same time?

(What will happen to last dish of the Kitchen Team?)

(Section Head Park and Intern Choi pass through the bamboo forest.)

(They're going somewhere.)

Here.

The shampoo.

The body wash.

(They are filling up amenities for new guests.)

(A handful of things to refill)

(After the guests check out, )

(all areas are disinfected to prevent the spread of COVID-19.)

(A professional company cleans the room and replaces the sheets.)

Let's take a look.

Let's read what they wrote.

It's very heartwarming.

I agree.

They wrote such nice things.

"I was so happy to be in this place."

"I will keep this memory with me."

They said they had the best time.

(Empty)

Can't you see it?

Only kind people can see it.

They must've written it in the other room.

She said the dumpling soup was really delicious.

She mentioned it earlier too.

How touching.

(The employees are pleased at the guests' compliments.)

(Moving to the next dorm)

In 3, 2, 1.

(Dusting off the new sheets in the sun)

Just 10 times more.

(Frowning)

(Coughing)

(Spread them out nicely.)

(Seo Jun and Woo Shik are done setting up the place.)

(They're going to the reservoir?)

(You can see this after crossing the small gate.)

(Amazed)

(Wide open reservoir)

(They came to get some air.)

Do you want a glove?

What?

(Sure.)

You have to wear it on this hand.

We need to take a picture here.

- Shall we take a picture? - Yes.

Sit here.

(Section Head Park and Intern Choi act like guests for a change.)

In 3, 2, 1.

(They're enjoying their time for the first time in a while.)

We're like an old couple.

Let's go.

(They end their short break to prepare for the next guests.)

(Goodbye.)

(Their leisure has passed by.)

(The employees take a nap during their break time.)

(Woo Shik wakes up at the sound of the alarm.)

(Scratching)

(Stiff)

It's 2pm.

(He gets up to pick up the new guests.)

(Stretching)

(A neck exercise)

(A shoulder massage)

(He's thinking of taking a shower before going to work.)

(Yu Mi stretches first.)

(She goes outside when there's no need to work.)

(Yu Mi is planning...)

(to put on a mask sheet before going to work.)

(Yu Mi does skin care before welcoming the last guests.)

(It's done.)

(Patting)

Since today is the last day, I'm going to look good.

(He does his hair with determination on the last day.)

Knock-knock.

Yes?

Are you up?

Go on your way now.

Okay.

Mr. Choi Woo Shik.

That's too bad.

(The actor takes his pose.)

- Woo Shik. - Yes?

Are you sure this doesn't have film?

"Are you sure this doesn't have film?"

(Seo Jun is up too.)

How is she so energetic?

I know, right?

I could've slept for five hours straight without waking up.

That's how I feel.

That's how you feel?

- That's how I feel. - I feel that way too.

It's needless to say.

(Meanwhile, the vice president gets to work early today.)

- Woo Shik, for the pick-up, - Yes.

don't bring them all at once, but take two trips.

(3 out of 4 teams need to be picked up today.)

(The intern might be burdened to pick up all three teams.)

- I'll do that. - Okay.

(The vice president joins the Pick-up Team.)

(Preparing the welcome tea in advance)

(Woo Shik goes to the management building to check the pick-up data.)

(Australian and Irish, students, Swiss, and French guests)

(Three have requested pick-up, and the other is coming by car.)

(These two teams have the same pick-up time and place.)

(Checking whom to pick up based on their messages)

- It's Margaret and Georgia. - You're not picking up Margaret.

These are the two groups.

- It's Margaret. - Margaret is not one of them.

Is it Sabina and Georgina?

Yes, Sabina.

So three from Sabina's group.

- I'm picking up 5 people. - Yes, 5.

(He meets CEO Youn who was on her way to work.)

Hello, Ms. Youn.

- Are you going to pick them up? - Yes.

I'll be back.

(Woo Shik goes to pick up the guests on time.)

Ms. Youn,

Woo Shik is picking up two groups.

One group will go to Jin and the other to Seon.

I think you'll have to go up there with Woo Shik.

(Seo Jun wears his uniform to get ready for work.)

It's my last day to work.

I'll get going, Yu Mi.

(The sous-chef gets to work energetically.)

(He ties his apron tight like a martial arts uniform.)

(The first thing he looks for as he enters the kitchen...)

(obviously is the sanitary gloves!)

(He prepares the ingredients.)

(Today's ingredient is...)

(Chestnuts?)

(By the way, it's been a while since they've used chestnuts.)

(They scooped out chestnuts, )

(sifted, and made dough.)

(This was commonly seen during the autumn season.)

(The winter dinner menu did not have any chestnuts in them.)

(Is the autumn menu coming back?)

(Tteok-galbi is coming back!)

(Caleb liked it.)

(Tina loved it.)

(Dada was amazed.)

(We were inspired by the guests' encouragements.)

What is our menu for today?

Tteok-galbi instead of the meat sanjeok.

(Seo Jun steams chestnuts again for dinner.)

(Steaming chestnuts for three hours only)

(Another ingredient to prepare for tteok-galbi)

(Since it's tteok-galbi, he needs pork ribs.)

(Firstly, he measures pork ribs to see how much he needs.)

(Then he removes the fat from the ribs.)

(Chef Jung arrives at work during the battle with ribs.)

What are you doing first?

I'm going to slice the meat.

(After he slices the good quality meat, )

(he chops the big pieces into little pieces.)

Are you grinding them?

Don't talk to me for two hours.

Hold on, Seo Jun. Try this.

Here.

- I can try. - Yes, go ahead.

(He used up his energy slicing the meat before.)

(Yu Mi discovered a new thing.)

(It's perfect for mincing vegetables.)

(Let's mince the meat with the mincer.)

(It minces the meat very well.)

That's right.

You're all dead now.

It's great.

That's great.

You'll finish earlier than expected.

I'm so thankful.

(Woo Shik's car is on the way to Hwaeom Temple for the pick-up.)

Gosh, they must be cold.

(Thankfully, he arrived first.)

(He spots the guests.)

Hello.

Gosh, they must be cold.

(Thankfully, he arrived first.)

(He spots the guests.)

Hello.

My name is Woo Shik.

- It's nice to meet you. - Hi.

- Sabina. - Sabina.

- Maria. Nice to meet you. - Maria.

- Tina. Yes. - Tina. Okay.

- Hello. - Hello.

- You must be Georgia. - Yes, yes.

- And... - Kian.

Kian. It's nice to meet you.

- It's nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you.

Okay. So have a shuttle. I will take you guys together.

- Is that okay? - Yes.

- Of course. - Okay. Let's go.

(The guests get to know each other as soon as they get in the van.)

(The host gets in the van.)

Ireland, Australia...

- Ecuador. - Ecuador.

- Romania. - Romania.

- Hungary. - Hungary.

- All here. - Okay.

- International. - It's very international.

Seatbelts, everyone.

- Okay. - Yes.

Safety first.

Are you guys students?

- Yes. - Yes.

- We are teachers. - Teachers.

- Oh, really? - Yes.

You guys look so young!

- Thank you for that. - Thank you.

- I don't think so. - How old are you guys?

I am 27 and a half.

- Okay. I am 26. - I am 28.

What about Tina?

- I am 24. - 24. Okay.

I am the youngest.

- Yes. - Yes. The baby.

Are you guys good with Korean food?

- I love spicy food. - Yes?

My spice level is really high.

Yes. Me too.

Do you guys prefer beef or pork?

Oh, no.

That's a very hard question.

- That's a hard question. - Beef, pork, and chicken.

That's more difficult now.

- We will make braised chicken too. - Yes.

Why don't we prepare three servings of each?

(Tteok-galbi, suyuk, and braised chicken)

What if more people want to order tteok-galbi?

- 4, 4, and 4 servings. - 4, 4, and 4 servings?

I don't think four people would want suyuk.

Let's make 4, 3, and 3 servings.

4, 4, and 3 servings.

- No. - Suyuk isn't popular.

- Just make three servings of suyuk. - I have an idea.

When I pick up the guests, I will ask them.

"Do you guys like beef or pork?"

When I pick up the guests, I will ask them.

"Do you guys like beef or pork?"

- That's a good idea. - That's a good idea.

- That's more difficult now. - I know you prefer chicken.

I still think it's pork.

What kind of pork?

(Tina is serious about meat.)

It's steamed pork.

- It's like the suyuk style. - That's so nice.

All right. It's right here.

Before we go in, we are going to have our temperature checked.

- Good. - All right.

(They arrive at Youn Stay.)

(It's time to get off.)

(I am still inside.)

Oh, Tina.

(There is a way out now.)

- Thank you. - Are you okay?

(She manages to escape.)

All right.

(All filming crew, staff, and guests...)

(were tested for COVID and cleared before filming.)

(Welcome to Youn Stay.)

Let's go.

This is our reception area.

(Finally, the last guests of the winter season check in.)

The guests are here.

Come on in.

(The kitchen and hall are busy welcoming the new guests.)

(Then I will go and pick up the guests.)

(The vice-president picks up the guests...)

(and CEO Youn shows the guests to their rooms.)

(You can take it home with you.)

(Really?)

(The door won't open.)

(One word comes to her mind.)

(Woo Shik!)

(Did someone call me?)

(Woo Shik!)

(Woo Shik!)

(CEO Youn, Woo Shik is coming!)

(The best lodging, Youn Stay)

(No, no. We can't rest.)

(They solemnly prepare dinner.)

(It's the last dinner...)

(that will never come back.)

(For the last dinner, they prepare various dishes...)

(and tteok-galbi.)

I trust you.

(Tteok-galbi is popular.)

Seo Jun is really good at it.

(Since it's the last dinner, the guests get 2 free dishes.)

Why is there so much?

It's the last dinner.

People are saying that the kitchen is perfect.

What should I do?

What? Please wipe this.

Okay. My goodness.

- I will wipe it. - Okay.

- Here you go, Chef Jung. - Thank you.
