All language subtitles for Master.in.the.House.E54.190127.HDTV.H264-NEXT-VIU

(Before the Lunar New Year's Day,)

(All the Butlers heads to China?)

(They can't go all the way to China.)

(A Chinese restaurant in Daerim-dong Chinatown.)

- Hello. - Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

(They say hello in Chinese since they're in a Chinese restaurant.)

- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year. - I'm Yuk Seong Jae.

Lamb skewer.

- Hey. - Hey.

Seong Jae's boring from the start.

(He's overusing meaningless Chinese words.)

What's gotten into you today?

(Seong Jae is full of drive.)

Sang Yun started...

social media lately.

I don't know if you saw his new update...

on the way here.

I just saw it a moment ago.

He posted his selfie...

and photos he asked someone else to take.

He put a hashtag,

"I should practice taking pictures."

I was all cheered up on the way here,

but when I saw his selfie, it got me thinking,

"The shoot won't be good today."

(Seung Gi: Take a bright photo, Sang Yun.)

(Sang Yun: This is the brightest.)

It was dull and depressing.

(The new social media user is still new to a selfie.)

Do you know anything about this town?

I do.

- It's... - I've never been here before.

- Me too. - China town, Daerim-dong.

Chinese?

It was the background...

for "The Outlaws".

Am I right?

Did they really film it here?

Here. This is the background.

(Do you know your master?)

- It was in a movie? - "The Outlaws".

Is Yoon Kye Sang coming then?

(Is it Kye Sang from the movie?)

Hold on. In "The Outlaws",

- Ma Dong Seok starred. - Ma Dong Seok.

Lovely Ma.

"Don't use too much tissue when you don't pay the tax."

(The two stars of "The Outlaws" created so many hit lines.)

(Is one of them the master today?)

(Is that why we're here?)

- Should we call the hint giver? - Yes.

(If you don't know, call the hint giver.)

(Forget everything)

This person must be young.

I think it's someone I know.

"Sweet Dream".

Not that many people have this for ring-back tone.

(Not that many people have this for ring-back tone.)

- Hello? - Hello, Hee Chul.

(Hello, Hee Chul.)

Who?

(Who?)

- Say hi first. - Hello, we're All the Butlers.

Oh, All the Butlers. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

- Hee Chul, Happy New Year. - Happy New Year, Hee Chul.

How could you do this to me? I tried to impersonate.

(The hint giver Hee Chul got caught from the start.)

- I mean... - He got caught.

No one chooses "Sweet Dream" for their ring-back tones.

It's upsetting from the morning.

If we didn't know, did you prepare anything else?

I had about 20 things prepared.

- My goodness. - We'll call you back.

We'll call you back then.

- Okay. Thank you. - Yes.

- All right. - All right. Here we go again.

- He prepared so much. - Back to 30 seconds ago.

- We don't know who he is. - Right.

(What did the original handsome moron prepare?)

Nice to meet you. I'm Lee Soon Jae.

- Wait. - Master Lee.

Isn't that Kim Byung Ok?

Oh, Oh Tae Sik.

He does sound alike.

Oh Tae Sik.

Hee Chul. I'm Seung Gi. How are you?

Of course I'm good. I should be good.

If there's no article, it means I'm doing good.

Hello. I'm Oh Tae Sik.

Oh, Oh Tae Sik.

- Why did I get caught before? - He's good.

- He's good. - Nice to meet you, everyone.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

By the way,

who is our master today?

About this master,

it's not easy to meet him.

(Even Hee Chul with many connections can hardly see him.)

- Really? - For what reason?

One of my acquaintances made...

100, 200 calls to meet him.

- 100 and 200 calls? - 100 and 200 calls.

- Yes. - 100 and 200 calls?

He must be very famous.

As far as I know,

he was invited to the Blue House...

by the president.

(What made him even visit the Blue House?)

Does that mean he's old?

That's a critical question.

- He's flustered. - He's flustered.

When you sighed, I could smell your breath from here.

(I better keep calm.)

He is older than me.

Right.

Also, at one point, he had a nickname...

Myeong-dong's lonely wolf.

- That's what people say. - Myeong-dong's melon wolf?

- Lonely wolf. - Lonely wolf.

Don't speak Chinese. Speak Korean.

Isn't melon wolf too sweet?

Lonely wolf? Myeong-dong's lonely wolf?

(Who is Myeong-dong's lonely wolf?)

I also met him in a meal table.

In a meal table?

That could be the biggest hint.

Meeting him in a meal table.

- Meeting him in a meal table? - Meeting him in a meal table?

Once you meet him,

you'd understand...

why I met him in a restaurant. He is very lucky.

He gives a lot of luck which matches the new year.

(A man who gives a lot of luck which matches the new year)

Hang on. I'm starting to narrow down.

I'm narrowing down.

- Related to food? - That was a big hint.

Wait. Hee Chul.

- Yes. - When we were drinking,

he was there too, right?

(Choking)

Maybe.

(He's flustered for the 2nd time by Se Hyeong's leading question.)

You need to answer in either yes or no.

I think I know from his reaction.

- You know for sure? - Yes.

Who are you thinking, Se Hyeong?

Tell me. Don't pretend like you know.

- I... - Tell me.

I know for sure.

Just the last name. 1, 2, 3.

Lee.

I'm hanging up.

(Seong Jae and Sang Yun got an idea too.)

Thank you very much, Hee Chul.

We probably knew five minutes ago.

(This isn't my plan.)

I hope to see you in All the Butlers later.

Would you ever get to see me on that show?

What would students learn from me?

(What would students learn from me?)

No. Of course we can't have you as a master.

What are you talking about?

Even now...

You have such a bad manner.

(He pretty much told them about the master and tried to be a master.)

I had a bad manner from the morning.

I want you badly as a student to learn together.

- Thank you for wanting me. - My goodness.

If you don't mind, can you finish up...

singing your ring-back tone?

(Forget everything)

(Hee Chul doesn't hesitate even for a second.)

It's not like I'm not sober yet.

I'm just doing my best.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. Happy New Year. - Thank you.

- Good luck. - Thank you.

He never says no.

Hee Chul was supposed to give hints only,

- but he gave us the answer. - I know.

I know.

- He's the master of that field. - Right.

- The master. - The true master.

When we saw him on TV...

Let me call him a teacher.

He's the teacher of teachers.

(The master of teachers)

- Right. - But...

But why is he called Myeong-dong's lonely wolf?

I don't know about the lonely wolf.

He was in Myeong-dong for a long time.

(He certainly stayed in Myeong-dong before.)

Myeong-dong's lonely wolf?

You need to find the master in the market yourselves.

- I see. - It's going to be fun.

While walking around...

(They'll hear a wolf howling while walking around.)

We'd be like, "He's over there."

To find Myeong-dong's lonely wolf.

- To find Daerim-dong's lonely wolf. - I can't wait.

(All they hear is Chinese.)

(In the maze-like market,)

(where is the lonely wolf?)

- Where are you? - Myeong-dong's lonely wolf.

Hello.

It starts from here.

(They finally enter the market.)

The movie depicted this town scary,

but this place has so many good restaurants.

- I love this. - It's...

- It's all in Chinese. - I know.

(Chinese)

It says largely in Chinese, and small in Korean.

That's interesting.

There are also places where you can eat on the way.

(You can have Chinese style sundae,)

(roasted ducks...)

(and bread on the spot.)

- This one must be delicious. - What an interesting town.

It's so exotic.

Have you heard a wolf howling here?

Have you seen Myeong-dong's lonely wolf?

We're looking for a wolf.

How are we supposed to find Myeong-dong's lonely wolf?

- He's hiding, right? - Maybe.

Is he disguised?

(These righteous wolves are searching for the lonely wolf.)

What is this?

(Seong Jae finds something.)

- It's Chinese pancake. - These steamed buns are huge.

- They're steamed buns? - No way.

- They are. - They look delicious.

- I wish we could have one. - Hey,

I think those eggs are famous.

- There are eggs everywhere. - Right?

They must be famous.

(They're boiled in tea leaves.)

Look at how huge these twisted bread sticks are.

They look yummy.

(These twisted bread sticks...)

(appeared on "The Outlaws".)

You're driving me crazy.

(The food makes them forget about their master.)

- Xiaolongbao. - Xiaolongbao.

Xiaolongbao.

(Dumplings)

- They look so good. - They smell wonderful.

(Se Hyeong's camera)

- Look. - What is that?

I think these are tails, right?

- They're pork tails. - Really?

(Seong Jae's camera)

There's a variety.

I never imagined a place like this existed in Korea.

This is my first time entering.

- It's interesting. - It definitely is.

(Hurry and find me!)

(Seong Jae's camera)

(Right, we need to find our master.)

Master?

Is he it?

- The one that just passed us by? - Maybe.

Master... Excuse me.

Master?

(Is it their master?)

Are you...

- I think it's him. - Right?

- The way he walked... - Hold on.

Excuse me, sir.

Excuse me.

(Is he...)

(the hard-to-get lonely wolf of Myeong-dong?)

(Seong Jae's camera)

(Stop living a lonely life.)

(We're here for you.)

Sir?

- It's not him. - We're wrong.

I swear, he had the eyes of a master.

They were screaming, "I am the master."

(Sang Yun and Se Hyeong search diligently for the master as well.)

(Suddenly, Se Hyeong stops.)

(Se Hyeong's camera)

Keep pretending to talk.

(Se Hyeong's camera)

(Laughing)

I found him!

(The sharp-sighted Se Hyeong is the first to spot the master.)

(Sang Yun's camera)

If I speak Chinese, they won't know.

(However, his Chinese seems to stand out.)

Where are they?

(Did he find out?)

I found the master.

- You did? Where? - Look.

(These two who have failed also look around.)

- Look around. - Where is our master?

You found our master?

(Where is our master?)

He's hiding, but it's too obvious.

(He looks suspicious.)

(Seung Gi's camera)

(They also spot him.)

- Master! - Master!

(Se Hyeong's camera)

(Through the steam, his cover is blown.)

(We found you!)

What are you doing with the ladle in someone else's restaurant?

- Hello! - We just passed you by.

- Our master is Chef Lee Yeon Bok! - Goodness.

(The master's identity is revealed.)

- Nice to meet you. - Hello, I'm Chef Lee Yeon Bok.

(He's the master of Chinese cuisine.)

He's today's master.

(He has a 40-year expertise in Chinese cuisine.)

(He's the youngest head chef at the Taiwanese embassy.)

(He has dominated countless cooking contests.)

(Chef Park Joon Woo called him the Beethoven among the chefs .)

(Chef Sam Kim picked him as his favorite chef.)

(Baek Jong Won called him the master of sweet and sour pork.)

(He is the master of chefs.)

(He is Myeong-dong's lonely wolf.)

It's Chef Lee Yeon bok.

We are pleased to meet you. We are...

- All the Butlers! - All the Butlers!

(They do their official greeting no matter where they are.)

We are honored to have you today.

(They're excited to learn how to cook.)

I waited so long for you guys to invite me on the show.

(Why did it take so long?)

- Goodness. - You were anticipating.

Of course.

(He's been waiting.)

I wanted to see you all.

We did as well.

(They're off to a great start.)

What is "master" in Chinese?

It's "shifu" in Chinese.

- Shifu? - Shifu.

- Then shall we address him as so? - Shifu.

- That'll be great. - Shifu.

Doesn't it sound cool?

Master, Happy New Year.

You know Chinese.

- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.

(Since he's a Chinese living abroad, they greet him in Chinese.)

Why are we in Daerim-dong?

Since Lunar New Year's Day is coming up,

I wanted to do some grocery shopping.

- I see. - Here?

Will you be preparing Chinese dishes...

for that day?

(Does he cook Chinese dishes?)

Yes, I do.

I see.

I think the dishes I'll be making...

will seem very foreign to you.

I'm even more excited now.

(They will be seeing new dishes today.)

(He will cook for them at his own place.)

We eat these foods too such as meat and their innards.

(He uses a variety of ingredients.)

- For New Year's? - Yes.

These are called "lu chai" in Chinese.

They're boiled.

- I see. - They may all be different parts,

but the sauce is the same.

They were boiled not too long ago.

What is this?

(This thick meat catches his eye.)

This is beef shank. It's delicious.

Shall we cook some?

That'll be great.

One serving of this, please.

- One, please. - This and that.

(Embarrassed)

I thought you liked him.

This and that.

(They're speaking neither Chinese nor Korean.)

That big?

It's huge.

- It's huge. - Yes, give me that one, please.

(This is the smaller portion.)

And three pigs' feet, please.

(And three pigs' feet, please.)

How much are they?

- 48 dollars. - 48 dollars?

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(He buys large portions of meat.)

We saw so many things to eat on our way in.

There's a huge variety.

- Let's buy some vegetables. - Okay.

(They need to shop before eating.)

How much is 600g of kidney beans?

How much are they? Five dollars? Okay.

- 1.2kg, please. - 1.2kg?

Do you have cilantro? It's here.

- Cilantro. - Cilantro.

(He checks them himself.)

They look fresh.

(He buys three bundles' worth.)

- 3 bundles, please. - 3?

- They are... - They are duck eggs?

They are pickled and sold.

You just need to peel the shell and have it with rice.

- Duck eggs? - How fascinating.

(They're fascinated but also hungry.)

What is that?

- They look like pizza. - Goodness.

They look tasty. Is it a pastry?

- I know. - Pastry?

- It's Chinese pizza. - I think so.

They're called "ping".

- Ping? - Ping?

(Chinese pancakes with vegetables and meat inside.)

The batter is fermented.

It looks like a big egg roll.

- It's so interesting. - It looks good.

Can we have some?

- Sure. - Really?

- It's still warm. - It is.

(They finally get to eat.)

It looks good.

How would it taste? Would it be sweet or savory?

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(How will it taste?)

Have some, Master Lee.

It's very savory.

(The savory flavor engulfs the inside of his mouth.)

- Isn't it amazing? - It is.

It tastes light with a bit of saltiness to it.

You can taste the saltiness at the end.

(It tastes better since he bought it.)

When you come here...

Oh, this. People tend to get this wrong.

(What could we be misunderstanding?)

- They're steamed buns. - Steamed buns with red bean paste.

"Mantou".

(This is called "mantou".)

In Korea, we have something under a similar name.

But this is mantou.

But the difference is, there's no filling.

- Really? - It's just bread.

(They're literally steamed buns.)

Mantou are steamed buns with no filling,

not the ones with meat inside.

So...

- It's a misunderstanding. - if we go to China...

and ask for mantou,

- will we get this? - Yes.

(Don't expect Korean dumplings in China.)

I'm guessing you tear this bread...

- and have it with other food. - Right.

(It's a substitute for rice.)

- So this is mantou. - Correct.

"Gyoza" are ones that have fillings.

- Gyoza. - You can see them often these days.

- Gyoza. - I see.

(The dumplings we're used to are called gyoza in China.)

Time flies by at this market.

- I know. You just walk around... - I'm having so much fun.

and taste different dishes.

Why are you called Myeong-dong's lonely wolf?

I get the Myeong-dong part, but why the lonely wolf?

I was curious as well.

Well... That's...

(A lonely wolf once lived here.)

When I was young, I was fervent...

about protecting my seniors.

So if there was anyone who bothered them,

I'd get the deed done for them.

(You'd get what done?)

I would get into fights often...

and was later branded as a troublemaker.

(Shocked)

Let's eat something here.

- Sure. - Sure.

(They obey in a heartbeat.)

- Here? - Yes.

(They will be compliant today.)

(Fearful)

Are we eating here?

Finally.

(The lonely wolf will be fed.)

I think we can sit here.

(Looking around)

The menu is only in Chinese.

- Sit here. - I like that dish.

- Dry tofu? - Yes.

I'd like to have dou jiang youtiao in the morning.

- We have them. - Two servings, please.

Two?

(What is he planning on feeding us?)

(They cannot decode it.)

Chives? Like meat?

For one...

(They're confused whether they're in Korea or China.)

The dumplings are...

Are they speaking Korean or Chinese?

I'm confused as well.

I understand bits.

- Didn't you want to have this? - Yes.

- Dried tofu. - Okay.

- Right. - Right.

And soju.

So... Soju.

Soju?

Soju, please.

Soju from the early morning.

Please give us soju.

(They successfully make an order.)

This is the one I mentioned before.

(Chinese people have youtiao for breakfast.)

- You can try this if you want. - I see.

It's Chinese-style soybean milk.

Some people add sugar to it.

Some add salt to it.

I feel an urge to add sugar.

- This is how you eat it. - With your hands?

You tear it apart with your hands.

(Tear it and dip it in the milk.)

Then you put it in here.

- You just dunk it? - Yes.

When you squeeze it,

it'll soak up the milk.

It's like cereal.

(It's like Chinese cereal.)

It does feel like I'm having cereal.

It's like dipping bread in soup.

- You're right. - It's good.

It's like corn flakes but made of bread.

- Made of bread? - Yes.

Which part of the meat is this?

If you look closely, you can see the tendons.

- This is beef shank. - I see.

That looks good.

- It's dried tofu. - Dried tofu.

It looks good.

Here are your boiled dumplings.

Boiled dumplings.

They're boiled dumplings.

- Goodness. - They look good.

Wonton.

- Wonton. - Wonton.

- You have it with broth. - Right.

You boil them together.

What is this?

This is a Chinese side dish.

- They're peanuts. - Peanuts?

- Yes. - There's celery...

- and carrots. - It's very savory and seasoned.

(It's a mixture of peanuts and vegetables.)

- It's good. - It's a side dish.

This Chinese soft tofu...

is different to the Korean ones.

Chinese people have it often for breakfast.

- It's very thick. - They added starch to it.

(They are eating deliciously but...)

Master Lee, you said you were once a lonely wolf.

Have your wolf instincts diminished a bit now?

It was difficult for me to change myself.

(He had to subdue his instincts.)

I can relate to you.

A senior of mine from back then...

told me that the Taiwanese embassy was hiring a chef...

and suggested to me that I should put in my resume.

So I did, and I finally got the job.

I was only 22 years old.

(He was appointed as a chef of an embassy.)

Becoming a chef at the age of 22...

is quite young.

I'm not sure about worldwide, but in Korea,

- I was the youngest. - Right?

(It was a dignified position.)

But still, I was only 22 years old.

- I was still quite immature. - Right.

I went to work on a bike.

(He talks about his wolf days.)

You had those days as a biker.

At times, I'd be drinking with friends until late at night...

and be tardy to work the next day.

The Taiwanese ambassador had to starve for breakfast.

(The ambassador was forced to skip breakfast.)

- I was tardy several times. - You must've gotten in trouble.

When he starved for the first time,

he said, "How dare you starve me?"

"Do you want to work here or not?"

And then, I'd apologize.

And then, let's see...

After about a month, I starved him again.

I did it again.

(The ambassador was forced to starve again.)

I would've guessed that they would've fired you...

- after you failed to show up twice. - Exactly.

- They must've liked your cooking. - He was skilled.

That's how they suppressed their anger.

I can't imagine you acting that way.

- I know. - I have a question.

(Glancing)

We wouldn't awaken your subdued wolf instincts...

even if there's something that made you uncomfortable today, right?

Right?

(Who knows?)

(The beast might be unleashed.)

If you don't smile, you do look intimidating.

You wouldn't hit us, right?

(No way)

I realized that there are punks in every nook and cranny.

(He always keeps watch.)

- Goodness. - The wolf...

- still lives in you. - It does.

Your face looked scary just then.

(The wolf still lives within him.)

The most difficult part was...

(What made the lonely wolf even lonelier?)

I didn't have a master.

- What? - I didn't.

Like I said...

- You didn't have a master? - No.

No one really took interest in me.

Does that mean you didn't have anyone to learn from?

Right. So I learned by glancing at what others...

- were doing. - You learned on your own.

I had to practice on my own.

I had to study and research on my own.

I don't know the full story,

but I bet you had to try much harder than the others did.

- Because... - Of course.

had you learned from a master, you wouldn't have had...

to study on your own that much.

(He had to improve himself through endless research and effort.)

While watching your show, I was very jealous...

of you guys.

You guys had a master every week...

- who'd teach you. - Right.

Because he didn't have one.

You're very lucky to be able to meet masters...

who teach you something new every week.

- But... - Right.

Today, we'll be preparing...

for the Lunar New Year...

- and will cook for your masters. - Sorry?

(They will be repaying their masters.)

We'll call them over to my restaurant...

since the restaurant is closed for the day.

- We'll treat them to a meal. - We'll invite them?

- We'll invite our masters? - Yes.

(Lunar New Year's Day Event: Treat the masters to a meal.)

- They'll be coming? - Really?

Among the masters that appeared on our show?

(Will they be treating their past masters?)

It's customary for everyone to gather on Lunar New Year's.

I'll teach you how to cook,

- so you should cook for them. - Goodness.

We had no idea about this and are quite shocked.

(Several of their past masters pass through their minds.)

(The stubborn...)

(and intimidating master)

(The eccentric masters...)

(with great presence)

(But on top of that, they are required to invite...)

(more than one of them.)

Look at him. Gosh.

It feels great.

- Goodness. - I...

(But why aren't they...)

(so happy about it?)

But it's not certain that they will come right away...

- if we ask them to. - Right.

- Right. - We should call first.

- What if none of them can come? - They might have plans.

We'll just eat on our own.

- Let's see if they come. - I think the best outcome is...

us eating on our own.

(It'll make them the happiest.)

- We won't feel pressured. - We'll be comfortable.

Which one of you will call Master Choi Min Soo?

(Who will dare to call him?)

(Are we trembling in fear right now?)

Sorry, but I have an appointment.

(He makes an excuse.)

Please ignore me.

I can't imagine our masters chatting with each other.

- It's hard to imagine. - Really?

I think it'll be so funny.

Frankly speaking, I'd like to see them altogether.

I have an idea, so hear me out.

We ask them to gather,

and we watch them in the monitoring room.

I think I'll have a blast.

"Gosh, that's hilarious!"

(This show has turned into an observing-a-master show.)

Are we really going to do this?

- Of course. - Then...

You four will invite them.

(Which one of the masters...)

(who have taught them would they like to invite back?)

Personally, I'd really like to meet Lee Sun Hee.

Oh, really?

I really like her.

- Then... - Wait, hold on.

Let me call her.

I'll call her since you'd like to meet her.

This is awesome.

- She's a nice woman. - I'd love to see her.

Right.

(Calling)

She has an ordinary ring-back tone.

I'll be sad if she doesn't come.

(He's cute.)

Hello, this is Seung Gi.

- Hi. - Hello.

Happy New Year.

Thanks, you too.

I'm currently filming All the Butlers.

- Hello, Master Lee. - Hello, Master Lee.

- Oh, hello, everyone. - Tee-hee.

(They're still the same.)

Happy New Year.

Thank you.

Everyone, Happy New Year.

Thank you for the text message.

- No problem. - May you have good luck.

For this week, we have brought a master whom you also know.

You know Chef Lee Yeon Bok, right?

Of course, I do.

He said he's a big fan of yours. You should say hi.

- Really? - Yes.

- Hello. - Hello.

Goodness.

- Hello. - Hello.

(They see a new side to the lonely wolf.)

- He changed. - Goodness.

I was surprised.

- Goodness. - He must be shy.

He was called Myeong-dong's lonely wolf.

But at the moment, he's turned into a shy wolf.

I actually watch the show that he appears on.

Watching him give his all in every aspect of his life...

motivates me to do so as well.

You guys made the right choice to invite him as a master.

He's blushing.

He can't seem to be still.

Look at his lips.

(He's very shy.)

Anyway, there's another reason why I called you.

Today, we're planning to make...

some food for Lunar New Year's Day...

and invite our past masters to eat with us.

So we were wondering whether you were free today.

I have a concert practice today.

- Right. - She's practicing.

Right. Your face darkened too much.

Chef Lee's face darkened.

I won't put too much heart into the food I cook today.

When you finish your concerts, we could set a date...

and meet at Master Lee's restaurant.

- I think it would be great. - Really?

- I would love that. - Right?

- I absolutely love the idea. - It would be an honor.

It will be my treat then.

I...

Cheers, All the Butlers.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Happy New Year. - Thank you.

I love you.

(I love you, Sun Hee.)

It's too bad.

It's too bad.

- But... - There's nothing we can do.

- His face... - His face...

suddenly changed.

(Happy and sad)

Wait. Should I...

call Mr. Park Ji Sung?

- Is he in Korea? - Is he in Korea?

- Should I call him? - I think Master Park...

- will come if you push him. - Right.

- Then push him. - Yes.

(Will the nation's captain be pushed?)

(The men of passion try to appeal to Master Park.)

Hello?

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello?

- Hello. - Hello.

Have you been well? Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to you.

- Tell him that we're in a shoot. - Right.

We are shooting All the Butlers.

- I see. - I'm sorry for calling so suddenly.

- We are sorry. - We are sorry.

- It's okay. - Hello, I am Seong Jae.

- I am Se Hyeong. - Hello.

- I am Sang Yun. - Are you all well?

- Yes. - Yes.

By the way, where are you now?

I am in Seoul.

(Seoul)

Why didn't you call us?

When we met and had a meal last time,

we didn't make you feel uncomfortable or offend you, did we?

I felt slightly uncomfortable, so I didn't contact you.

You are so naughty.

I came to Seoul with my family, so I didn't get to call you.

(He came to Korea with his family.)

I see.

If you have time this evening,

we want you to come and have a meal we prepared.

That's why I am calling.

- I see. - Yes.

You could bring your family too.

My goodness.

Really?

Thank you for the invitation, but...

- Yes. - But...

I have a business to take care of, so I don't know if I can.

Right. Although you have things to do,

you could adjust the schedule if you wanted to.

I guess I don't want to go then.

(He doesn't want to come.)

He's so witty. He's witty.

Did you go to gag school in England?

Your wit is getting better and better.

Since it's New Year,

we called you to greet you.

Thank you so much.

You all seem to be doing well, and I am happy to see it.

I will do better this year...

so that I won't dishonor...

my reputation as your master.

He's amazing.

(He's touched.)

If your daughter says she wants to eat Chinese food,

you should drop by here.

Okay. Okay.

(It's just that we want to see you so badly.)

We will leave your seat empty.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Who's next?

I will make a call then.

(Who's the master Se Hyeong wants to see?)

- Isn't that the old ring-back tone? - I am getting the feeling.

- It's the default ring-back tone. - He's the most frequent guest.

Hello?

Hello, Master Jeon. It's me, Se Hyeong.

Right. Se Hyeong.

- Master Jeon. - Hello. This is All the Butlers.

- Hello, Master Jeon. - You are all well.

- Master Jeon. - Aren't you Yuk Seong Jae?

I am Seung Gi.

Right. You are Seung Gi. I am sorry.

Master Jeon. Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to you all.

What were you doing?

- The boiler at home got broke. - Right.

- Again... - Gosh.

I am waiting for the boiler to be fixed.

Why did the boiler break?

You should fix the house.

I fixed it once.

- But it broke again. - My goodness.

You don't only eat rice crust these days, do you?

- I still eat it. - You...

- I eat it every meal. - You eat it every meal.

- It's filling. - It is.

Do you still eat the honey powder?

- Honey powder. - Of course I do.

(It's too delicious.)

But I use a smaller spoon now.

- That's good. - That's good.

We are going to make food to celebrate the New Year.

We want to invite you for a meal.

Do you have time this evening?

This evening,

my band has a bit of a problem.

(He can't come then?)

Anyway,

I should go.

- Really? - Yes.

- Of course. - You should say hi...

to Chef Lee.

In Chinese cuisine, rice crust stew is considered a gourmet dish.

Right. I know it too.

I know a bit about rice crust.

(Master Jeon knows well about rice crust.)

- He's the rice crust expert. - I know.

- Dr. Rice Crust. - Yes.

I will send you the address. I will see you later then, Master Jeon.

- Okay. Okay. - Okay.

Okay. Thank you.

- Thank you. - See you later.

- Okay. Great. - Okay.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Yang Se Hyeong. - Yes.

- Okay. - I will see you later.

- Okay. Okay. - Okay, Master Jeon.

(New Year dinner party)

- He's so consistent. - He's consistent.

Just talking to him on the phone...

- is so fun. - He's so fun.

- I'm surprised that he can make it. - I know. I'm glad.

I want to see how Master Jeon gets along with Master Kim Soo Mi.

That would either work or won't work.

My hand is already numb.

Let's put them on the same table.

(Will this legendary two-shot become a reality?)

I can't imagine what it would be like.

I can't even imagine it.

- I will call her then. - Go ahead.

Tell her we are shooting. Otherwise, she would curse at us.

She would curse at us.

(They might get cursed at otherwise.)

I think...

By the way, she doesn't swear as much you think.

She only swears when it's absolutely necessary.

(A master doesn't swing his sword carelessly.)

- Gosh, that surprised me. - It suits her too well.

- The tone suits her so well. - Gosh.

I was so surprised.

- I think she'd be doing this now. - It's like she's singing it.

(She's the incarnation of elegance.)

(They want to treat their elegant master a luxurious meal.)

Is this it?

Yes?

Hello. I am Seong Jae. the youngest member of All the Butlers.

- Who? - I am the youngest member...

of All the Butlers, Yuk Seong Jae.

- Hello, Seong Jae. - Happy New Year, Master Kim.

Yes. What's up?

We are shooting All the Butlers now.

Right.

We are calling you to greet you...

Happy New Year.

Master Kim, I am your beloved pupil, Seung Gi.

- Hello, Seung Gi. - Hello.

We took the gangdoenjang and pickled vegetable...

- with us and... - Right.

the Morocco shoot went incredibly well.

- Right. - That gave us power to act.

You sent a photo of it from there.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

You're actually a good boy.

Thank you.

- Sang Yun. - Yes, ma'am.

- Seung Gi and Se Hyeong... - Yes.

- send me messages. - Yes.

Why don't you send me messages?

- Why didn't you send her messages? - I am sorry.

I am sorry.

We think we got too many things from you.

And we feel like we should treat you to a meal.

- Sang Yun... - Never mind it. Never mind.

You don't need to treat me.

If...

you have time...

this evening...

- Today? - Yes.

Will it be a shoot?

- It's... - It's not a big shoot.

We will just be having a...

I am asking because of makeup.

That's why I ask.

(She's asking because of makeup.)

(Please doll up.)

- Hey. - Yes.

I think we are destined to meet.

I never get day offs these days.

How did you know today was my day off?

(Today happens to be Master Kim's day off.)

- Really? - My goodness.

We really want to see you. Please come.

Okay. Send me the address.

- Okay. - Thank you.

- See you later. - I miss you. I love you.

- Okay. - Okay.

(Master Kim Soo Mi will attend the dinner party.)

- She talked with so much charisma. - It turned out well.

I am so curious what Master Jeon and Master Kim...

- look like together... - It's never happened before.

They've never been shot together, have they?

It will be so funny to see what they talk about.

(It will be very fun.)

Now, our guests are confirmed.

- Right. Two guests. - Let's...

invite more guests.

We have to prepare food, so let's make calls on the way.

Okay. Let's go.

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

Dragon, tiger, and phoenix will gather in one spot.

It will be a very special scene.

(Tiger and dragon are about to meet.)

I hope something bad doesn't happen.

Please wish for our safety.

Cheers to us.

(He's lost his senses.)

Wake up.

(Seung Gi's camera)

(What's this familiar song?)

(The free-spirited Master Kang San Eh particularly...)

(touched Seong Jae.)

His day and night are completely switched.

(Did he get up?)

Free-spirited people always wake up late.

Hey. Hey. Yuk Seong Jae.

Hello, Master Kang.

- Happy New Year. - I didn't expect it.

- Right. Happy New Year. - He forgot.

Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.

You are shooting so early.

It's 12:11pm.

It's a bit early, isn't it?

We want to invite you...

to dinner...

- tonight. - I am in Jeju Island.

(He's in Jeju Island.)

He could fly to Seoul quickly.

If you take the plane now,

you can arrive by dinnertime. That would be hard, wouldn't it?

I have to take care of the cats at home.

If I can get someone to look after them, I will come.

- Really? - Really?

I am at Gageo Island, which is also known as Soheuksan Island.

Did you go fishing?

If you have time...

I miss you all.

I hear the wind. Where are you?

(Master Lee Dae Ho is...)

I am in Saipan now.

I am in the middle of an individual training.

- You went abroad to train. - Right.

(It's too bad.)

- They are all busy. - By the way...

- They are all busy. - But still...

Thanks to Master Lee...

Because he gave us this mission,

we get to use this as an excuse...

and call the masters. And it's nice.

(They are happy that they get to call the former masters.)

[VIU Ver] E54 Master in the House / All the Butlers
"Masters’ Banquet : Chef Lee Yeon Bok"
-= Ruo Xi =-

Se Hyeong suddenly got very tired.

I feel pressured.

- I don't know what to talk about. - But really...

- Se Hyeong. Se Hyeong. - The entire nation...

- would be curious about it. - Don't lose your senses.

I gave up on today's shoot.

You are really lucky...

to have masters.

- We are here. - We are here.

(They arrive at the master's restaurant.)

We are here.

Se Hyeong,

the masters are already invited.

Let's cheer up.

(If you can't avoid it, enjoy it.)

You look like you've been dragged here.

- We should get ready. - Yes.

Chinese restaurant.

(Prepare for the New Year dinner party before the masters arrive.)

Hee Chul made 100 to 200 calls,

but he still couldn't make a reservation.

It's my first time here too.

(This is where the banquet of the masters will be held.)

(It's Master Lee Yeon Bok's restaurant.)

(Master's food)

(We can feel the wolf's pride from the entrance of the restaurant.)

The kitchen... Can we go inside?

You can.

(This is where the master's secret is passed down.)

(The master's finger marks are everywhere in the kitchen.)

(We can't believe we will be cooking here.)

Excuse us.

(My goodness.)

How many people are in here usually?

9 to 10 people.

- In here? - In here?

It must be like a battleground...

during the meal time.

Yes.

(This will soon be your battleground.)

Wait. Should we get changed?

- You should get changed. - We should get changed.

- Okay. - Get changed.

(Let's think for a while.)

- It became too serious. - What?

It became too serious.

(They are terrified by the idea of seeing all of them at once.)

Honestly, I don't know about today.

You can't say that.

- You need to keep up your spirit. - You are the ace.

You are the ace.

I am worried.

What if...

the atmosphere gets strange...

(I can't do it.)

(It's complicated to fix the family register now.)

What if they get upset?

(You should point.)

(This is frustrating.)

- It won't happen. We never know. - But we never know.

(What if someone gets upset and leaves?)

What if someone puts down the chopsticks?

(Hey. I will go.)

(Door opening)

- That kind of situation. - That situation...

won't happen. But we never know.

We have to be prepared for it.

Can we do anything?

We have to make sure it doesn't go that far.

We should each be in charge of one master.

- I think... - I think we shouldn't...

feel uncomfortable.

- Are you ready? - Yes, we are ready.

Come on.

(They will start preparing...)

(for the banquet for the masters.)

- Don't be too nervous. - My goodness.

- My gosh. - This is a test.

(What is this?)

- Onions. - My goodness.

(What is he going to do...)

(with so many onions?)

Today, we are going to make...

(Which dish will make the masters happy?)

We are going to make In Kwon's favorite,

wild pine mushroom rice crust stew.

- Fried shrimp sandwich. - Fried shrimp sandwich.

You will be surprised at how similar it is to kimchi.

It's Chinese steamed cabbage.

Then we will cook sea cucumber and abalone next.

Sea cucumber and abalone.

That's the best.

- Dongpo pork. - Dongpo pork.

I love Dongpo pork.

At the end, we will serve hearty bowls of oyster jjamppong.

(Oyster jjamppong)

Everything you just mentioned...

Are those something we can learn to make now?

Can we learn it in a day?

You don't even need a day. You only need a few hours.

(Just a few hours of learning it from me would be sufficient.)

- Let's begin the basic test. - Let's do that.

(Let's begin the basic test.)

According to the dish you are assigned to,

your rank in the kitchen is decided.

The hierarchy forms.

If there's hierarchy,

and if you are the superior, can you...

We won't talk down, but...

- But... - You want to talk down.

"We won't talk down, but..."

No. We won't do that.

But politely,

you could give orders. Right.

- Right. - Right?

Okay.

(This test is not just about the dish they will be cooking.)

Wait.

I want to do this well.

(This test will determine their rank.)

(He becomes very competitive.)

The most basic skill you need is the knife skill.

Cooking gets much easier if you are good at using knife.

The person who uses knife...

and the person who uses wok have to work together well.

(Knife and wok are at the core of the kitchen.)

(Just looking at them handling knife will give him the idea.)

As a test,

you will cut some onions.

By the way, before we start,

can you show us how you do it?

- Of course I can show you. - You...

When you are chopping on a chopping board...

(No way.)

(He's got the charisma of the person with 40 years of experience.)

You can see that the blade is slanted.

If you slice it at a right angle, the onions come to this side.

You slant it so that the onions...

- won't move. - That's why you slant it.

Yes.

Look at the thickness.

When you slice an onion,

slice one side.

Put it down and slice.

(When you are halfway done, put down the other half and slice.)

You can use the knife to lift up everything.

- It happens so fast. - It's easy.

Can you do that with your eyes closed?

Of course I can.

(He can slice the onions with his eyes closed.)

- My goodness. - I will do it.

- This is... - Cover his eyes precisely.

(Like a warrior wielding a sword,)

There you go.

(He can do that?)

Watch your hand.

He's really going to do it without looking at it.

- It's good now, isn't it? - Yes.

- I will start. - Be careful.

(No way.)

Stop.

(He sliced one whole onion with his eyes closed.)

He's like a machine.

(Master is the best.)

They are the same as these.

(The thickness of the slices and speed remain the same.)

- It's... - I think...

he even did better with his eyes closed.

(He surpassed reality.)

He did better with his eyes closed.

When you use knife for a long time,

you don't have to look. Your body remembers it.

(The 40 years of experience gets recorded in your body.)

I've seen your video.

You sliced an onion on top of your thigh.

- Really? - You...

I can do it now.

Please do it for All the Butlers.

(Shaking)

(Never copy him.)

(They are shocked.)

Okay. Stop.

- All right. All right. - All right?

Okay.

Are your pants okay?

(They can't believe what they saw.)

It's perfectly fine.

Even those slices are even in thickness.

This is amazing because...

he knows precisely where to stop.

- He can control his power. - He's been slicing onions...

for a very long time.

- I admire him. - He's amazing.

Only someone who's been doing this all his life can do it.

In the past, I used to slice it on my hand.

I sliced it on my hand.

Can you do this too, Master?

In the cartoons, they throw it in the air and slice it.

(Can he throw it in the air and slice it in the air?)

That's cartoon.

Only the character in "Chuka Ichiban" can do it.

"Chuka Ichiban".

Let's start with Sang Yun then.

I am too ashamed to slice it.

Don't try to be as fast as me.

- Should we slice it? - Yes.

Speed is not the problem here.

Start.

It's scary.

(He's very slow.)

(They are already frustrated.)

Take it slowly. That's how you first begin.

Right. Safety first.

(But still...)

(When will he finish slicing?)

Sang Yun moves like a machine.

Only his hand moves.

The slices are too evenly spaced.

- My goodness. - They are very even.

- They are 0.2mm thick each. - He studied physics for a reason.

By the way, his slices are very even.

- It's... - Did you measure them?

With that speed,

he wouldn't be able to run a restaurant.

It would take him more than an hour to make jjamppong.

- My gosh. - That's...

- He gets 1 star out of 5 stars. - 1 star.

- 1 star. - I got at least 1 star.

- Next. - Okay.

- I've been complimented before. - Watch your hand.

On Idol cooking competition,

he ranked second in Chinese cuisine match.

- Let me begin. - Okay.

(Slicing)

You are only hitting the same spot.

You are hitting the same spot.

Lift the onion.

Lift his onion.

- Lift his onion. - He was hitting the same spot.

- That's an amazing technique. - An amazing technique.

Even I can't do that.

He sliced all day, but he didn't slice anything.

(I am scared of the knife.)

He sliced all day.

Is there any dish that doesn't require knife?

(He wants to do something that doesn't require knife.)

My goodness.

Seung Gi kept criticizing the others.

I think he would be just as bad.

- Seung Gi. - Don't be too ambitious.

(The passion makes his upper teeth get protruded.)

(Shaking his hands)

Why are you shaking so much?

- His mouth became like this. - I think...

Seung Gi will get 0.7 star.

(Despite the interruption, he finishes slicing the onion.)

I watch and learn.

Your slices are even, and you are faster than Sang Yun.

You get 1 and half stars.

1.5 stars.

Last one is...

He's the best cook among us.

Make sure you don't hurt yourself.

- Here we go. - Okay.

(Pounding)

(He's quite good, isn't he?)

It's the sound of the chopping board we expected.

He's good.

It's easier that way.

(He's the official chef of All the Butlers.)

You are good.

You will receive at least two stars.

He's the best one among you.

- I'll give him 2.5 stars. - 2.5 stars.

Now...

We need you to decide our ranks before we go inside.

Right. We have to decide that.

Se Hyeong can do a lot of chopping.

I would love that.

Chinese steamed cabbage.

Okay.

Seung Gi can cook rice crust stew.

- Rice crust stew. - Rice crust stew.

Rice crust stew.

- Thank you. - Seong Jae can cook...

fried shrimp sandwich.

You can cook oyster jjamppong.

- Oyster jjamppong. - Oyster jjamppong.

- I want to learn everything. - I know.

Shouldn't we hurry?

- Shall we go? - Let's go.

We are going to learn well from Master Lee,

- and we will impress the masters. - Right.

Right. We should surprise them.

1, 2, 3.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

(Will the banquet turn out to be a success?)

First, you have to thinly slice...

bell pepper and green onion.

Julienne everything first.

Then you rotate it and slice again.

- Like for fried rice. - Right.

- The finer the better. - Okay.

You can...

put it here.

It's the same for the green onion. Cut off the end bit.

Slice in four parts.

Halve it and halve it again.

Like this.

- Right. - Then you slice it finely.

(You should quarter a green onion to easily slice it.)

Then slice it finely.

Okay.

- Like that. Okay? - Yes.

You will be making the sauce with that.

- And... - Yes.

Get three slices at a time.

You have to slice as close to the crust as possible.

Only slice the crust.

Like this. When you cut it, you can't press it.

You have to slice it in a sawing motion.

- It gets pressed otherwise. - Right.

Then you will cut this into quarters.

- Quarter it. - Yes.

When you cut it in half, it becomes four slices.

This will be the bread for the fried shrimp sandwich. Two each.

This level of difficulty is perfect for me.

You put them here.

Okay, Master Lee.

- I will come back later. - Okay.

(He goes to the kitchen to help other menus.)

Master Lee.

I am in charge of the wok.

(Wok is the highlight of Chinese kitchen.)

(Master Lee will teach him the secret.)

When you are cooking Chinese food,

the fire should be strong.

Even though the size of the fire is small, it shoots up.

People usually practice with salt at first.

You put salt on the pan.

- Look. - Okay.

In Western cuisine, you lift the pan like this.

When you cook Chinese cuisine, you shouldn't lift it.

- It should rest on the frame. - Don't lift it.

That's why you can do this.

Like this.

You should always hold a ladle on one hand.

You stir-fry it.

Swirl.

But it's always resting on the bottom.

That's why it's not tiring.

Just shake it.

And you shouldn't grab the handle tightly.

Just hold it lightly.

Only then your wrist won't hurt.

I am right-handed, so I should shake it with left hand.

I will do it slowly. Move it like this and this.

Right. Right.

You are different.

You have to think about how it works.

But some people just do it without thinking.

The salt should move to the front...

and flip it to the back.

(Moving)

(What?)

Wait.

Here we go.

(Concentrate and do it well.)

(Slipping)

Oh, dear.

It's okay.

That's why there's the frame.

- Really? - Yes.

Try it again.

(It's harder than I thought.)

I feel like I can flip it, but I can't.

When it doesn't work,

you start to get annoyed.

Wait.

Why isn't it working?

Wait. 1, 2, 3.

(Will you be able to cook the rice crust stew today?)

My gosh..

(Laughing)

When the fire is on, the salt won't do.

If we stir-fry onions...

It's very easy to flip them.

(He demonstrates how to stir-fry onions with a wok.)

It's covered in oil.

(My goodness.)

(It adds smoke flavor to onions.)

(But he won't burn it.)

(This is the wok skill of the master.)

Right? Try it again.

- Me? - Yes.

It will be easier than before.

That's it. A little more.

You need to pull harder.

(Seung Gi soon gets better.)

You are doing much better than a while ago.

When I see people struggling,

I am reminded of how tough it must've been.

(I was like him in the past.)

How long does it usually take for someone to learn it?

If you work hard, you can learn it in a month.

It's supposed to take a month.

And Seung Gi's trying to do it now.

(He's learning a month's worth of things in just a day.)

It's not easy to use the wok.

(He's learning a month's worth of things in just a day.)

(Se Hyeong begins to chop vegetables.)

(He moves the knife like a master.)

It's fun to use knife.

(It's a perfect square.)

(Slicing gently)

I hope Master Kang will come.

(It takes him at least 1 minute to slice 1 slice.)

(The master comes around to check on them.)

I did well, didn't I?

You did well.

(He's proud of himself for cutting the bread.)

Now, get the shrimp.

Get a handful each time.

- My, that is perfect for me. - Yes.

Press them like this.

- Press and pull. - Yes, exactly.

When I'm making a lot of this, I usually use two knives.

- You mince shrimp with two knives? - Yes, this is great because...

Yes, this is what I do.

(Chopping)

(Nice, this is exciting.)

(Drop the beat!)

More.

(Club Boktagon)

It's all done.

(Seung Gi is serious all alone even in the midst of the noise.)

(He's focused on practicing wok handling without saying a word.)

Sang Yun, I think I'm getting the hang of it.

- You are? - Watch this.

Yes, you are doing it.

I'm getting the hang of it. Gosh, this happened all of a sudden.

How did I suddenly get it?

You still can't do it consecutively though.

Right, not consecutively. Master Lee.

- Did he get it? - He's getting the hang of it.

(In order to cook delicious food for the masters,)

(Seung Gi persistently practiced.)

Look.

You're doing it.

You can do it now.

- You're doing it. You're good. - This suddenly happened.

- Yes, I see the improvement. - I couldn't do it at all earlier.

- You're good though. - Earlier, I couldn't do it at all.

- Now, you know how to do it. - My, this is so cool.

- Can I try it just once? - Go ahead.

- Every few minutes... - My gosh.

- This is crazy. - Oh, this is harder than I thought.

I was like that too, but I suddenly started doing it.

(Even Se Hyeong struggles without Master Lee's instructions.)

- This is hard. - It's hard to maneuver, right?

This is why you must always be humble when you're a chef.

Even if you're pretty good, there are many things you don't know.

You keep learning and thinking, "My, I had no idea this existed."

Even at my age, there are still moments when I think that.

It happens all the time.

That's why you should always be modest.

That's important for every profession.

"I'm the best." "I invented this." "I developed this recipe."

You shouldn't make such remarks easily.

(Even masters or experts must be humble.)

Is this what I'm supposed to do?

I can't do it. It's hard.

Yes, it is hard.

(Don't underestimate it.)

Please teach me. I can do it.

I'll teach you, so you can give it a shot.

First, put green onions, garlic, and ginger in the wok.

(Stir-fry green onions, garlic, and ginger on high heat.)

Gently stir them.

- Look at this. - Right.

- Are you making oyster jjamppong? - Yes.

This is broth which I prepared in advance.

Then put in a heaping ladleful of the broth.

1, 2.

(Add 2 ladlefuls of Master Lee's secret broth!)

Then add a little bit of oyster sauce. Squeeze the bottle.

- Okay. - Nice.

- Then oysters. - Oysters.

Oysters must go in after it comes to boil.

- After the broth comes to boil? - Yes.

It applies to all types of seafood. Wait until it comes to boil.

Put in the oysters and stir the broth once.

- It already smells so delicious. - I know.

It smells so good.

- Let me see. - Oh, my.

- We should taste it. - Okay.

(Under Master Lee's guidance,)

(oyster jjamppong is ready in a flash!)

- This is... - My gosh, we get to...

Wow, that was so quick.

You already made oyster jjamppong?

(Did I really make this?)

- My, this is amazing. - He's in charge of this dish.

You should eat the chives with the oysters.

(Would Sang Yun's oyster jjamppong be good?)

Mastering how to control the stove is the key.

Like I said, stir-fry green onions and ginger on high heat first.

Then add a little bit of soy sauce. That step is very important.

Then figure out...

(Impressed)

My, it's so good.

(They exclaim like old men.)

- Wow, this is amazing. - Even the aftertaste is good.

- As you saw, it's very simple. - It's so simple.

- Isn't it so simple? - Yes.

- It's easy. - I thought it'd be complicated.

Right? If you remember just a few things,

you can certainly make it on your own. Aren't I right?

I've never even imagined making jjamppong at home.

- Right, I know. - My gosh.

- Wow, I want to eat it with rice. - I want to put some rice into this.

- Totally. - My, it's so good.

Sang Yun, it'll be hugely successful if you can just emulate this taste.

I'm happy to see you guys enjoying what I made.

Sang Yun, this will be...

a perfect meal if a bowl of rice is served with it.

This must be how moms feel.

Everyone who cooks feels that way.

When you see others thoroughly enjoying what you made,

- it makes you incredibly happy. - Exactly.

- This is my first time. - It soothes my stomach.

- This is seriously so good. - I'm not a good cook.

There are wontons too.

(Just seeing this makes me feel full.)

- Gosh, I want another bowl. - Shall I make more?

The masters will arrive in about 50 minutes.

- Okay. - Wait, all the ingredients...

for steamed cabbage are prepared. And...

- Fried shrimp sandwiches as well. - Those ingredients are ready too.

Then bring the shrimp. We need to make the filling.

(Master the fried shrimp sandwich recipe.)

- We need to make wontons. - Yes.

- Yes, this technique. - This is it.

How did you do it?

Make a little ball. Here's one.

So there's a lot of filling in each one.

That's right.

- To make a ball, - Yes.

do this and move it around once more. When you open your fist,

it moves back down. Then squeeze it out again,

and it'll look like a ball.

Move it around in your hand like this.

How can it be perfectly round?

The first row is done.

(The size is identical as if they came out of a machine.)

- Wow, he's like a machine. - As if they came out of a machine.

I bet it's not easy. I really struggled with the wok.

- Yes, this is... - It's not as easy as it seems.

- Right, we can't do this. - The key is...

- learning everything step by step. - My, look at Seong Jae.

- He's pretty good. - Let it go already.

- Why is this... - Let go of it.

- It was round enough. - Stop it.

It was round earlier, but he ruined it all.

I feel like it keeps getting smaller.

You need to press starting with your little finger first.

- That way, it'll move up. - I see. Gently like this?

- My gosh. - Yes, like that.

- You did it. - Wait, why does it keep sticking?

It shouldn't touch too much of your hand. Cut it like this...

- and drop it. Do this... - Oh, my.

and gently put it on these fingers. Then use your thumb to drop it.

- My gosh. - Incredible.

- You got it, right? - Yes.

Squeeze it out.

- Cut it and drop it. - Oh, that was pretty good.

Use your thumb to put it on the bread. That's it!

- Great job. - Hey, you did it.

- My gosh. - It looks the nicest.

I've gotten so much better at this.

Having a master does make a world of difference.

- It does, right? - Everyone needs a good master.

I have the talent but never had a chance to put it to work.

Then you have to close them. Gently put the bread on top.

Now, these shrimp sandwiches are ready to be fried.

- Really? - Let's deep-fry them now.

- The oil isn't hot yet. - Right.

Even if you put your finger in, it doesn't feel hot.

(Dipping)

- I see. - My gosh, it must be lukewarm.

The shrimp sandwiches must go into the oil now.

- When it's not hot? - When it's not hot?

- When the oil isn't hot? - I see, when the oil is lukewarm.

If the oil is hot, the bread will burn.

The bread burns quickly.

The bread will burn, and the shrimp will be undercooked.

(The shrimp sandwiches go into lukewarm oil.)

And you just wait.

This will be fairly easy to make at home.

What you have to keep in mind here...

is that you must never turn off the stove or reduce the heat.

The bread will soak up the oil if the temperature drops.

- Then it'll become soggy. - Right.

It's important for all dishes, not just fried shrimp sandwiches.

Most people put a great deal of importance on recipes,

and not on techniques.

However, such knowledge and techniques are crucial.

Ideal cooking temperatures and so on.

Just leave them in there, and they'll be deep-fried.

Stir them and flip the ones that are turning golden brown.

My gosh, they're coming out.

(Crispy bread...)

(filled with shrimp)

My, look at that.

- I made this. - Fried shrimp sandwiches.

I minced shrimp and cut up the bread.

- You made it from scratch. - My gosh.

Then... Okay.

- Seong Jae should taste one. - Okay.

- One of us. - One of us should also taste it.

- One of you? - Really?

Then...

(If that's the case...)

Then I'd like to hear why they must taste...

my fried shrimp sandwich.

Why are they so obsessed with it?

- Really? - Why must they eat it?

This thought just hit me.

I thought about why I was born into this world.

(I thought about why I was born.)

I believe I was born to taste this fried shrimp sandwich today.

(I was born to taste this today.)

I really mean it.

Seriously?

(These three guys are dying to taste it.)

Master Lee, what should I do?

(Who will get to eat this fried shrimp sandwich?)

(While everyone is obsessed with fried shrimp sandwiches!)

(With a familiar song playing in the background,)

(a woman approaches the restaurant.)

(The first guest arrived early.)

(Who's the first master that accepted the invitation?)

(As soon as she enters,)

(she goes straight to the kitchen?)

Now, you can eat it.

- Doesn't it look so nice? - I finally get to see this.

- Doesn't it look so lovely? - I finally meet you.

It's too hot now.

(My gosh!)

- My gosh! - Master Kim!

It's too hot now.

(The first guest, Kim Soo Mi)

(Oh, my goodness.)

You came so quickly.

- Why are you so surprised? - Why are you guys so surprised?

You came so quickly.

(Why are you guys so surprised?)

- Well... - Yes.

You came straight to the kitchen.

- You look stunning today. - You look gorgeous today.

I'm always early, you know.

- Thank you for coming. - Hey.

I didn't think you'd actually come.

My, I didn't know I'd see you again so soon.

This is spinach from Namhae.

We can eat it together today, or you can take it home.

- Oh, my. - My goodness.

As soon as you arrive...

(She takes out the gift as soon as she arrives.)

Spinach from Namhae is so delicious.

- From Namhae? - Yes, spinach grown in Namhae.

It's in season now.

We should put it on the table.

No, I won't. I'm taking this home.

- You're welcome to take it home. - Thank you.

We have a lot of food today, you know.

(We're grateful that she came. She didn't have to bring a gift.)

Master Kim, this is freshly cooked fried shrimp sandwich.

You should taste it.

Oh, really?

(No, my fried shrimp sandwich...)

Gosh, this is...

- It's freshly cooked. - We made it just now.

- It'll be hot. - It's hot.

I can still eat it though.

(Master Kim ends up eating it.)

That crunchy sound is amazing.

Gosh, what is this?

It's so good!

It's so good!

(Relieved)

Isn't it so delicious?

(I made it!)

It totally lifts your spirits.

(Crunchy)

- Is it really good? - Did you hear that?

- It's very delicious. - Thank you.

Master Kim, I made this.

- Are you serious? - Yes.

He learned the recipe from Master Lee.

- Master Lee taught him. - Yes.

I made it from scratch, from mincing shrimp and cutting bread.

- Is it really true? - Yes.

They're each in charge of a dish.

They're the ones doing the cooking, and I'm just coaching them.

Wait, these guys aren't making everything, right?

- Well... - Right.

- Don't worry. - I'll make a few other dishes.

- I didn't even have lunch. - I see.

Okay, all right.

- Please don't be angry. - We won't disappoint you.

All right.

I'll take you to the room.

It's the room on the right.

(Master Kim will wait in the banquet hall.)

My gosh, thank you so much.

- Go on in. - Okay.

- It's warm here. Please wait here. - All right.

- Go finish up. - Okay.

- Wait just a few minutes. - Okay.

- We need to set the table. - Hurry.

(15 minutes before other masters arrive)

(Seong Jae, whose dish is ready, starts serving the guest.)

- Master Kim, I brought warm water. - Great.

I was actually thinking...

I should have a glass of water.

Master Kim, I wish you a happy new year.

Thanks.

That's good.

- You can leave it there. - Okay.

- And leave a cup for each person. - Got it.

(This is how you set the table.)

(Seong Jae faithfully follows her order.)

Has everything been well with you?

Yes, I've been busy every day.

I have plans in the evening, so I have to leave soon.

- Then we'll hurry. - Okay, thanks.

- I'll be back shortly. - All right.

Will you be okay alone?

Yes, I'll be fine. I like being alone.

I'll be back shortly with utensils.

I almost spilled water on the table.

We'll be in trouble when Master Jeon In Kwon gets here.

(Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.)

We'll get to see the dragon, tiger, and phoenix gathered together.

It'll be one rare sight.

(The historic moment of the dragon encountering the tiger)

(We'll witness that encounter today.)

Should I take my shoes off?

- Should I take my shoes off? - No.

(Even his very first remark cracks us up.)

(Let's see.)

(Where should I go?)

This is... Oh, I see.

My gosh.

(Wait, is that lady...)

My gosh.

- My gosh, hello. - Gosh!

(Trying to recognize her)

Welcome, Master Jeon. Please come on in.

Come on in. How have you been?

- Hello, Master Jeon. - My gosh.

(The feisty master...)

(meets the charismatic master.)

Guys, guys!

- Master Jeon is here. - He's here?

Are they talking now?

- They're sitting side by side now. - They're sitting together?

(Peeking)

(I don't know what to say.)

Have you never met each other before?

- Right, never. - Is this the first time?

Yes, we've never met before.

- Have a seat. - Yes, I will.

(There's a suffocating tension in the room.)

(The war begins.)

How about a drink?

(The tug-of-war showdown between the dragon and the phoenix)

(Master Kim attacks first with her blunt remarks.)

(Will the two masters end up clashing?)

(Will In Kwon counterattack?)

(You're very beautiful.)

(Is this turning into a blind date?)

(The unpredictable banquet with the masters!)

(It's getting heated here.)

(Another oddball arrives to lift everyone's spirits.)

(This really feels like a party.)

(The new year just began, and you're already letting loose?)

(The Wolf's survival game begins!)

(For the 1st time, a 3-to-1 match takes place!)

(In order to make the incredible gift yours,)

(you must hold out no matter what!)

(After their tumultuous competition,)

(which one of them will be selected as Master Lee's favorite?)

(Chef and All the Butlers)
