ASIAN MARKET ASIA FOODS

UNEXPECTED BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA

We're here in "Los" and "Geles".

BYUNGEUN & KYUNGHO ARE IN LA

TO EXPAND THE BUSINESS

What's this?

What's going on?

Goodness. How can this happen?

- As soon as we get to LA... - My goodness.

EMERGENCY ALERT AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVE

- Lightning never strikes twice. - That'd be great.

WHAT MATTERS IS AN INDOMITABLE SPIRIT

THEY FINALLY ARRIVE AT THE MARKET

TO FIND THE INGREDIENTS

- Should we get three of each? - Three of each?

Gosh, this sure isn't easy.

THE LA BUSINESS TRIP CONTINUES

MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE MARKET, THEY WRAP UP DAY 3 OF BUSINESS

Thank you for your hard work. We're going to eat out today!

- Yay! - Hooray!

- Great job. - Good work.

YOU WORKED HARD, SO ENJOY!

I'll be off.

IT'S ALREADY TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO HYOJOO

- Bye. - Bye!

- Bye, Hyojoo. - Okay. I'll get going then!

AFTER SAYING GOODBYE TO THEIR BELOVED EMPLOYEE…

It feels strange now that only three people are leaving the house.

I heard it's busy on Saturdays.

HE'S WORRIED ABOUT TODAY'S SALES…

- Oh! Oh! I thought she was a customer! - Oh my! Ajoong is here!

THEIR RESCUER, KIM AJOONG, IS HERE

Hello.

Agent Ajoong!

THEIR HAPPINESS IS BRIEF…

- Hey, Agent Kim! - Yes, sir.

Oh, my!

- We need to get rolling. - Come here.

I can't believe I'm doing this less than 30 minutes into my arrival.

WILL AJOONG, THE ROOKIE PART-TIMER,

BE ABLE TO ADAPT…?

(LOTS OF CARROTS)

That's too much.

- Too much? - It'll get fat.

- Thinly. - Thinly.

It's one of our top complaints.

Thin ones.

I think they prefer thinner ones.

- Like this, right? - Yes, roll it.

SHE BEGINS ROLLING CAREFULLY…

Push, push it!

Kimbap maker, get it together!

The kimbap is too fat!

No.

It's nothing serious, everyone. No biggie. No worries.

Right now, they're having fun over there.

- Stretch it all the way up! - Oh...

INSUNG'S INTENSE KIMBAP TRAINING SITE

That's it. Now we have it.

Got it?

SHE'S LOSING HER MIND

- I don't think... - Are you done yet?

No, not yet. Come back in an hour.

Oh, no!

- Come back in an hour. - Oh, no!

We don't have time!

You can think of it as a training process.

Did you come here to play?

- You crying? - What is it?

Already thinking of your mom, huh?

WHILE THE HARSH TRAINING CONTINUES…

Let's focus.

FOCUS, FOCUS

You know I'm fast when I'm focused, right?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Of course, I know.

FOLLOWING THE BIG LESSON, SHE SPREADS THE RICE THINLY

IMITATION CRAB + PICKLED RADISH + EOMUK + BURDOCK + CARROTS

SHE TAKES OUT SOME CARROTS JUST AS SHE WAS TAUGHT

AND ROLLS IT SLOWLY WITH RICE AND SEAWEED

WILL HER FIRST KIMBAP TURN OUT OKAY…?

SHE ROLLED IT WELL!

Wow.

Wow.

AJOONG'S FIRST KIMBAP IS DONE

Good job, good job. What about sesame oil?

- Yeah, I brushed it already. - Okay.

- Good job. - Wow.

THE INTENSE TRAINING HAS CREATED A KIMBAP MASTER

AJOONG BEGINS TO MAKE ANOTHER KIMBAP RIGHT AWAY

Wow, I had no idea that I'd be making kimbap here.

- No one here had any idea. - Never imagined it.

- Did you eat? - Yes, did you?

Tell me if you want something. I'll make it for you.

- Really? - Of course.

TEMPTING!

SHE SPEEDS UP AT JUHWAN'S WORDS

Then I'll do my best to roll them fast.

Okay.

You can do it. Let's go!

(THE BOSS APPEARS)

Has Ajoong gotten the hang of it?

- She's got it now. - As expected.

We have yet another great agent!

That's great.

THE BOSS IS PLEASED

9:30 A.M. ON A BUSY SATURDAY MORNING

- Here, here. - Here?

WEEKENDS ARE PACKED WITH FAMILY MEMBERS

COMPARED TO THE WEEKDAYS

- Hi. Good morning. - Good morning.

It's a pretty big deal going on, huh?

That's right.

- Very nice. - Thank you.

Very nice.

- So you guys are husband and wife? - Yeah.

- Yeah. - Forty-six years.

My husband's at home with my six kids. This is my boyfriend.

Really?

- Yeah. - Okay.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Yeah. - Okay, thank you.

This is my wife of 46 years.

WHAT AN AMERICAN JOKE, LOL

HERE COMES THE KIMBAP~

Put it in here like this.

And you look at the time.

You write the time, like this. And then two hours.

RECORDING THE TIME THEY WERE MADE

Thank you so much.

THE FUNNY COUPLE HAVE FINISHED PAYING

- Have a great day with your… - Thank you.

- Boyfriend. - …boyfriend.

- Girlfriend. - Husband's at home with my six kids.

HUSH!

Continue.

LOL

THE MARRIED COUPLE OF 46 YEARS LEAVES

AFTER GIVING EVERYONE A GOOD LAUGH

(HMM…)

THIS CUSTOMER COMPARES EACH PRODUCT THOROUGHLY

(HE PICKS ONE UP FIRST)

A FEW MOMENTS LATER…

I need really a whole box. A whole box.

I... I'll find...

I will find.

Okay, okay. We got same, same. Same.

- Yep. - The same company.

HE OPENS IT RIGHT AWAY TO CHECK

Only small ones.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR: THE BIG SIZE

It's too small.

- Oh. - Small. I need bigger than that.

(HE'S LOOKING FOR A BOX…) (IN A BIG SIZE?)

Quan! Mr. Quan!

Yes.

Yes.

I HAD A FEELING…

- Quan? - I'm back again.

- Do you know him? - Yes.

He owns a restaurant.

He'd had 20% off, but that's okay.

HE PURCHASED IN BULK THREE DAYS AGO

HE RUNS A RESTAURANT

AND IS A REGULAR WHO ALWAYS GETS A 20% DISCOUNT

He said he needs to receive a 20% discount.

That should be 10%, not 20%.

Gosh, are you saying that you fell for his tactics?

HE WAS FOOLED!!

- Yeah. - You said 20 discount.

Yeah, I called... I called Kim.

- Uh-huh, what'd he say? - Mr. Kim, "10 discount!"

- Okay, so... I will pay you back. - Okay, dear.

- We'll pay you back. We pay it back. - Here. Hey, no. Okay.

- I'll give him back. I will pay it back. - Okay, thank you.

- No, no. No problem. - He wants the big one, Taehyun.

I want big one, this is too small.

HE HELPS FIND THE BIGGER SIZE THAT MR. QUAN WANTS

That better be the big one.

THIS TIME, IT'S THE BIG BOTTLE!

- Okay, twelve. - Yep!

- Yep. - Forty. Oh, it's a total flex!

Can I ask why you told him...

I thought it was 20. He always did 20%.

He did, like, okay.

That's why I think you'd call. He would call Kim, you know?

I give him my number. He call, you know?

You didn't expect he check?

Well, I knew he gonna check, you know? I know...

- I'm just kidding. - I know.

No, don't worry about it. I know Kim. He know...

We buy every time, you know? Noodle udon, stuff like that.

- Mr. Kim. - Eh, no problem.

Restaurant... What kind of restaurant?

Noodle.

Noodle... Ah.

- Here you are. Thank you so much. - Thank you.

All right. See you later, okay?

Bye. All right.

- I'm sorry about that. - Eh, just kidding, just kidding.

- Bye-bye. Yeah. - You are cheeky child.

IT TURNS OUT QUAN HAD ALREADY SPOKEN

TO MR. KIM ON THE PHONE EARLIER

I'm going to help with the kimbap.

- Stay here, and... - Okay, I'll be here.

- I'll send her here in a bit. - Okay.

- Around lunchtime. - Okay.

- You have to teach her well. - Okay.

Please enter your PIN number.

Isn't it funny, Ajoong?

- Oh, yes. - Wondering what's going on, no?

Yes.

But it's fun. Now that I've come to my senses, I'm having fun.

Well, it's better to have something to do.

- Rather than not knowing what to do. - Yes, it's better than that.

It's your first time making kimbap, but you caught on quick.

Well, Insung is a know-it-all.

I was surprised how good he is at teaching.

- By yelling at you? - Yes, yes.

Right.

He yelled at you really harshly.

Since there are many locals here, if you work as the cashier…

man, seriously,

I don't know what they're saying.

You have to go do it now, Ajoong.

SHE FEELS MORE AND MORE PRESSURE

I can communicate just fine when it comes to making sales.

But after a few encounters,

and after you blank out a couple times,

it gets better.

Everything works out. Don't worry about it.

Afterward, I started to think, "Wouldn't it be better to make kimbap?"

SCARING THE ROOKIE:

WORKING THE COUNTER IS MUCH TOUGHER

- Thank you. - Yes, ma'am. Thank you for coming.

- Thank you for coming here. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Wow, how do the customers rush in all of a sudden?

Do you need any help?

- No, I'm fine. - You okay?

There are no customers now.

Hey, when you filmed The King with Ajoong,

she was your wife in The King, right?

Yes.

Hold on. Only your wives came then?

- You married me first. - You're right.

- Gosh, that's right. Yeah. - Then you married Ajoong.

- Weren't you married to Hyojoo this time? - You're right.

- You're that type of guy? - I guess so.

- You're that type of guy? - I guess so.

I've been married three times.

(HOW COMPLICATED)

Just remember that I'm your first wife.

Come to think of it, all your wives came.

- You're right. I didn't realize. - I should go show her who's boss.

Wait here.

THE FIRST WIFE GOES TO DISCIPLINE THE SECOND WIFE

LONG STRIDES

Ajoong, you!

Ajoong, you! I heard you were married to Insung.

I heard you were married to Insung.

LOL!

Now that I think about it,

I'm not sure if this was part of his plan.

But I was the first to get married to him.

- He's been married too many times. - He has three wives.

- That's right. - But as his first wife, I must say...

- Sorry? Oh, right. - Isn't that too much rice?

I'll spread it thinly, madam.

Oh, right. You have seniority as his wife.

- Yes. - That's right.

- I was her college senior too. - She's right.

Wow, Ajoong was your college junior and wife jun...

Yes, wife junior.

Wife junior? What on earth is that?

- Wife junior? - Is there such a thing?

We have a customer. Mr. Cha, I'll get going then.

Okay.

AS SHE ROLLED THE KIMBAP WHILE JOKING AROUND

There's no more.

- There isn't? - That's not enough for one.

There you go.

THEY NEED TO SEASON THE RICE AGAIN

SHE SCOOPS UP THE COOKED RICE

AND POURS TWO TO THREE ROUNDS OF SESAME OIL

AJOONG TAKES ON AN IMPORTANT ROLE

AS SOON AS SHE STARTS THE JOB

MR. CHA GOES TO REFILL THE KIMBAP

- After you mix the rice… - Yeah?

…you have to cool it down.

Right? But can I just mix the rice with the rice scoop?

Yeah, you can.

Do I let it cool down for a bit?

LET THE RICE COOL DOWN FOR A BIT

Yes, for a bit.

WHILE RICE IS COOLING DOWN, AJOONG…

FINALLY STARTS LOOKING AROUND OTHER GOODS IN THE MARKET

CHECKS OUT EVERY AISLE AND EVERY CORNER

ENTERS THE NEXT AISLE

You still make kimbap?

I need 20.

Twenty?

- You need 20? - Kimbap.

- Wait a moment. - Okay.

Juhwan, kimbap…

ASKS JUHWAN RIGHT AWAY

- Twenty. Twenty rolls. - Twenty rolls?

You can't buy 20 rolls.

- Three rolls per person. - Not per person.

- Three per party. - Three per party.

Three per party.

- Where is he? Over there? - Here, in the middle.

Sorry, we are...

JUHWAN ASKS FOR HIS UNDERSTANDING

Throw it away when you're done.

In the same garbage bin? Is the dumpster nearby?

- Yes. - I see.

BRINGS THE SEASONED RICE THAT'S BEEN COOLED

CALMLY BEGINS TO MAKE THE SECOND ROUND OF KIMBAP

QUIETLY SPREADS THE RICE THINLY…

PLACES THE INGREDIENTS IN ORDER LIKE SHE LEARNED

- How are you doing? - What?

I think this is too much rice.

- It's okay. - I think it'll get too fat.

It's okay.

I want to give him kimbap.

He wants to buy 20 rolls.

But we already decided on a rule.

SAD

- I see. - We should stick with it.

We sell 300 to 400 rolls every day.

MR. CHA HURRIEDLY RUSHES OVER

I know.

- Ajoong. - Yes?

- Finish that one up. - Okay.

Then, to the counter!

- Already? - Counter duty.

- Let's go! - Kimbap...

- I want to make a lot of kimbap, though. - It's fine. No worries. Go over there.

Kyeongrim will teach you everything. Don't worry.

Kyeongrim will stay with you the whole time.

- Hello. - Hello, welcome.

That can't be right.

What now?

MR. CHA COMES OVER AT HER EXCLAMATION

Oh, my God!

We have to do it again.

It says $13,000...

LOL…

- Isn't that something? Wow. - Yeah, that's too much.

How do I do this…

- Oh, I'm so sorry. - No, it's... No worries.

Now what?

We can't void it.

Oh, dear.

There were a lot of items.

MR. ZO COMES OVER UPON HEARING THE NEWS

Go roll kimbap. You're on exile.

- Go and have a time of self-reflection. - Yeah.

That's our place of exile. "The room of truth."

Go make five rolls.

Hello, thank you for waiting.

Of course. No problem.

AND ONE YOUNG LAMB SEEMS LOST…

- $5.19… - This way.

Kimchi, kimchi.

Where are you going?

I was told to make five rolls of kimbap.

- Who told you that? - Insung.

- He sent me into exile. - Oh, that's right.

- Go! - Okay, sir.

See you later.

- And store the rice that you've mixed. - What?

Okay.

KIMBAP HEAVEN HAS NOW BECOME A PLACE OF EXILE

This is our new system.

Those who make big mistakes will be sent there.

EXILE SYSTEM IN EFFECT

GRIM…

What did I press?

- What? Oh, yes. - Must be hard to cook so much rice.

You must be in charge of it.

I don't know what I pressed wrong.

(WHAT AN ADORABLE WORKER)

How... What did I press?

Oh, oh, kim...

- There's no rice. - There's no rice?

Oh, please hold on.

There's no rice at all, Taehyun.

- None? - Do we need to cook some more?

Then yes we do.

Over there.

MENTOR ON DISPATCH DUTY

- Your mentor's on it. - Okay.

- Go and... - Hello.

RUSHES OVER

Get it together!

She's getting a lot of scolding.

She's constantly getting scolded.

- Yeah, they're... - He's training her hard.

Pretty hard.

- What did you do? - I don't know what I pressed wrong.

ACTUALLY, THIS IS MR. ZO'S COUNSELING OFFICE

HE'S ALL EARS, WHILE HIS HANDS ARE FULL WITH RICE

AS ALWAYS, HE POURS IN HALF A SACK!

AND RINSES IT A COUPLE TIMES

MEASURING THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF WATER IS KEY

Isn't that too much?

We need the rice to be very sticky.

- Really? - This is still not enough.

HE TEACHES HER HOW TO MEASURE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF WATER

QUICK COURSE ON RICE COOKING IS OVER!

3-6-7. Cash or card?

NOW ON A 20-MINUTE PROBATION…

- I bought two rolls of kimbap. - Yes?

But I had no kimbap in my bag.

Oh, really? Here.

- Oh, really? - Yes, so...

- We're so sorry. - Oh, I'm sorry.

- You must've gone far... - Ajoong, take this.

- Did you finish making five rolls? - Oh, no.

+ 5 MORE ROLLS ADDED

Thank you.

What's going on?

- Well, she bought kimbap earlier. - Okay?

- Did you... - But we forgot to give it to her.

- Did you get it now? - Yes, so it's okay.

- That's good. - Is there anything you'd like to eat?

- I'd love to... - What on earth?

- No, I'm fine. - What are you thinking?

- What are you gonna buy her? - Like some snacks?

- Hey, part-timer. What're you doing? - Well, I...

What are you saying right now? You just got here.

- I just feel so sorry. - It's okay.

- I mean... - No, I should've made sure of it.

- I was so nervous too. - Are you...

- You both returning from somewhere? - Yes.

Drive home safely.

Please come again.

I'll remember you both, so I can give you snacks next time.

- Oh, really? - Yes.

Hey, part-timer. Why do you keep saying that?

- I mean... - Why?

- Since I keep making mistakes, Taehyun. - Well, that's…

That doesn't mean you can just give people stuff!

That's not how things work here. My goodness.

Why do you keep yelling at her?

You're lowering her spirits!

- Complimenting her wouldn't be enough. - No, I mean...

She was the one behind that $13,000 incident earlier, remember?

Remember what you did yesterday?

- Was it $5,600? - Well, it was a much lesser amount.

- I've never seen the number go so high! - You're being so stingy.

- But she is a generous person. - Look at her, all low in spirits!

Okay, hear me out.

She was like, "I'll give you snacks."

- Really? With your money? - That's not right.

- You start doing that. - Yes?

You'll lose hundreds of millions here.

(TRYING NOT TO CRACK UP)

MEANWHILE, OTHER CUSTOMERS HEAD OVER TO THE RESTAURANT

Hi.

WHOM SHE TOOK GOOD CARE OF!

THESE TWO WERE FRIENDS TOO…!

Where's your shy friend?

He had class that day, so he came here in between classes.

He doesn't have class today,

so I didn't see him.

WHERE IS HE HEADED NOW…?

Taehyun, Shakira is here.

- Try bringing it up now? - Which day?

- Hi, Shakira. - Yes?

I have a favor to ask.

By any chance…

A FAVOR…?

…can you work here for one day?

Part-timing.

Part-timing?

We need a part-timer.

Because...

Because we need someone who can speak Korean and English like you.

And you're a local in this neighborhood.

- You know everyone from here. - Right.

We need someone just like you.

SHE'S A PERFECT CANDIDATE IN THEIR EYES

Please. Come on.

HE MOVES ON TO THE DRIED POLLACK HANGOVER SOUP

WHILE THE STOVE IS IN FULL USE

I'm starting my class on Monday.

(SHAKIRA'S YOUNGER BROTHER)

What do you think of this so far?

It's only been a week, but…

I mean, it's fun. It's a lot of preparation work.

- But I get to give homework, now. - Oh, you...

Instead of always being the one doing it. Oh, like these.

Oh, don't tell me you're one of those who gives like,

ten sheets of homework and you're like, "Finish this by tonight."

I mean, I have to grade.

Wait, that sounds even worse.

Do you know how many people are in your class?

Right now, 70.

- Your biggest class is? - My biggest class is 15.

ONLY 15 STUDENTS IN ONE GRADE?

Wow, in Korea...

THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT IS SHOCKED…

There are 12 classes, with 40 students in each class.

Dadaegi?

I want to sprinkle some chili powder.

Is that mine?

Two different kinds, actually.

(OH! THE RADISH KIMCHI IS MINE!)

- Okay, we got it. - I wasn't prepared for all of this.

- Separate? - Yes.

You paid that much?

He makes more money than me.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS…

AJOONG RINGS UP THE FIRST CUSTOMER'S ITEMS FIRST

Kimchi.

JUST THEN, SHE RETURNS WITH KIMBAP!

She got one.

A HAPPY DANCE!

Thank you. Have a good day.

THE PLEASANT CUSTOMERS LEAVE

Good job.

Let's do this!

I have great-grandchildren now.

My goodness.

So, may I ask how old you are?

I'm 84 years old.

Wow, you're in great condition. You look so healthy.

SHE IS STILL HEALTHY EVEN AFTER RAISING FOUR GENERATIONS

THEY FINISHED PAYING WHILE MAKING SMALL TALK

- Your receipt. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Goodbye, my star.

AND THE BIG, HAPPY FAMILY LEAVES

A CUSTOMER SUDDENLY WALKS OUT OF THE LINE?

DRAGGING~

HE-HE

Thank you.

Hey!

(I'M HIDING!)

IT'S MOVING?

Do you see yourself on there?

Don't touch it, please.

Come here.

It's okay. It's okay. Yeah.

It's okay.

He's just a kid.

Sorry.

WHILE HIS MOM IS BUSY PAYING…

Ring it up together, please.

HE ESCAPES AND STARTS GOOFING AROUND

Don't touch it. You already have your candy.

I want it.

I want it.

NOT AGAIN!

Bringing it up.

HE GETS TRAPPED

You have to stay right here.

Fifteen dollars.

He doesn't listen.

Okay, next.

AFTER HIS LAST GAME OF TAG WITH HIS MOM

I'm not eating here.

I wanna eat here, too.

You wanna eat in here? We're not eating here.

- No. - No.

JACKSON LEAVES WHILE BABBLING UNTIL THE END

MEANWHILE, SHAKIRA AND HER FRIENDS ARE STILL EATING

- What happened? - Just... Was driving to LA.

What?

- He called you? - Who? Who? Who? Wait, what?

Hey, have you heard about ♪♪♪♪?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S-HER-NAME?

- Wait... - She called him.

Wow.

I went to a coffee shop once.

There was a girl there. Her name is ♪♪♪♪.

(LISTENING ATTENTIVELY TO BROTHER'S LOVE LIFE)

And she ran into him.

So she started talking to him.

- She was on to it? - I think she... I think she.

- I think she was interested. - Okay?

- In this guy. - Okay!

When did this happen?

How come I've never heard of this?

It's my first time hearing of it.

When we went to lunch,

they didn't talk much.

Man, sisters can be so annoying, no?

- Wow. - When did this happen?

- And then she told him a few weeks ago. - Two weeks ago?

How come I've never heard of this?

- He's like a "silent killer." - I'm curious.

Is it because he's mysterious?

Oh, really?

- Is it because he's mysterious? - Oh, really?

Like, "Huh? What's with him?"

- "How interesting." - He's always like that.

He just acts like that.

Average day in my life.

- Wow! - Mr. Popular.

- Shut up. - Kai... Kai is actually...

He's my younger brother.

- That's what I thought. - Yes.

He's charming.

Yes, he's quite charming.

- Kai. - Kai?

- Kai? - Kai.

How are you all friends though?

- Neighborhood friends. - Neighborhood friends?

- We all met at church. - Church?

- Oh, so you all met at church? - Yes.

I was surprised to see you two together.

I thought, "You're friends too?"

Yes, we're all connected.

THEY ALL KNOW EACH OTHER, LOL

Okay.

We just need to buy a rice cooker now.

This must be a famous place too.

It's the biggest electronics market in LA.

- Hello. - Hello.

So, we're here to buy a rice cooker.

- On the second floor. - It's upstairs?

- Thank you. - Yes.

THEY GO UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR

FOR THE REASON THEY CAME HERE

My goodness.

TO FIND A RICE CO… SOME APPAREL

Fashionista pants, one each?

Golfwear...

- Forty... - I knew you'd take a look.

- Hello. I'd like to buy a rice cooker. - Okay.

I need a white T-shirt.

Hurry up, Byungeun!

- Hurry up, Byungeun! - Okay.

Hello. I'd like to buy a rice cooker.

Yes, of course.

Thank you. Here it is.

- This way, please. - Thank you.

This is the biggest one.

- Oh, this one is for 28 people? - Yes.

- How many servings is this one? - Thirty servings.

- So this one's for 30 people? - Yes.

- Really? - If you look…

Back then, we…

- It's similar. - Yes, it is.

This is our biggest one.

I thought I could find one here.

But I looked it up and they don't have it.

- What kind of rice cooker is it? - That's why... That brand.

It's a rice cooker for 20 portions.

I don't know if it's because that's what I practiced with.

- You need that exact same rice cooker? - Yeah.

- That's... - This is why he is more anxious right now.

Listen…

- I practiced with this brand. - I see.

It's not the exact same model.

It's for 28 people.

I should go with the one I practiced with.

- How many servings is this one? - Twenty.

I must've done it with this size.

This is what you used to practice at home?

This is the size.

HAPPY TO MEET A RICE COOKER FOR 20

- But it's a different brand. - Then no.

We're here because of that brand.

That's right.

And to be honest, it'd be better to put in more.

We can sell more, so that's better.

- I just have to change the amount. - Change it according to this.

- Exactly. This one, please. - Sure.

You're competent enough.

Let me pack it up for you.

Thank you.

FINISHED PURCHASING 28-SERVING RICE COOKER!

- Thank you. I got it. - Let me.

BYUNGEUN CARRIES THE RICE COOKER

A chef should always take care of his hands.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- It's heavy. - No, it's okay.

We can't have you hurting your hands.

- We're done buying everything. - Okay.

- We should buy some clothes. - Clothes?

We should eat and get ready to go.

We have an hour left.

- Why don't we take a look around then? - Leave this here.

They really have everything here.

These keep you very cool in the summer.

It's nice. I think it'll look good on you.

If I wear it, I'll look like an old geezer.

That's not true.

Aren't you getting one?

I have a lot.

What?

WHY SHOP FOR THINGS YOU AREN'T GONNA BUY…?

So you'll pick one out for me?

- Byungeun. - This one keeps you cool, doesn't it?

Are you going to buy it?

No, I'm just trying it on.

Why wear it when you won't buy it?

This is shopping.

You're taking your sweet time now that we've bought everything.

Goodness.

This is a stylish outfit.

I don't really like those because they get dirty.

(THEN WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE?)

That one, I think, when you're a little bit older.

When gravity pulls down my face a bit more.

I'M LOSING THE MOTIVATION TO SHOP FOR SOME REASON…

Let's go eat.

Or maybe there's another place.

Thank you.

MEANWHILE, MR. CHA VISITS THE KITCHEN

- Can these go out now? - Yes.

Hello.

- Hi. - Hi.

GUESS HE'S NOT KOREAN…

(RETREATING FOR NOW)

NEED SOME TIME TO PREPARE MYSELF, I'LL BE BACK SOON(?)…

Puerto Ricans? Puerto Ricans?

- Like, Mexicans... - Depends.

Yeah, Mexicans too. It depends.

- It's like half and half. - Okay.

Some places you go and it will be very spicy.

KIMCHI GETS SERVED

TAKES A BITE OF KIMCHI

It's good.

First time I had kimchi, I didn't like it at all.

Oh, you didn't like it?

No. But then I had more, little by little.

I like it more now.

(KIMCHI IS VERY GOOD)

It was very sour at one time.

I would say this is a bit more salty than usual.

- Kind of just a little bit more flavor. - I like it, so…

There's lots… of sodium. Do you need the sodium?

I need sodium.

They left too much for me.

Gotta burn it all off.

MUSCULAR

MORE SODIUM JUST FOR YOU!

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

HERE'S YOUR RAMYEON

This is definitely good hangover food, though, so…

Oh, yeah.

First time I went to Vegas as an adult, first night… Too much.

And I had some ramyeon the next day, like this one.

SLURP

CHEW

CHEW

DONE CURING HANGOVER TODAY

MEANWHILE…

- Agent Ajoong. - Yes!

I think the rice is ready.

- Is the rice ready? - Really?

- Time for kimbap rolling. - Then…

You know we add the sauce to the rice, right?

- Yes. - You know what I mean, right?

- But it's hot, so be careful. - Okay.

HOPPING

EXCITED TO MAKE KIMBAP

THE LONG LINE REACHES THE KIMBAP SECTION

Hi.

SUDDEN COMPOSURE

WORKING ALONE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE COMING HERE

Juhwan started with slicing first.

It looks good.

PUTS THE FRESH-COOKED RICE INTO THE BASIN

It looks really hot.

- This rice… - Did it not cook well?

- Is it bad? - No. It's a bit…

The scorched rice looks so good.

But you can't use that to make kimbap.

Then I'll exclude it.

You can eat the scorched rice by yourself.

Hey, you can't use that part of the rice.

- You're right. - You have to use everything above it.

- Agent Ajoong. Get it together! - Yes, sir.

SCORCHED RICE IS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE COOKER

WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH IT…

TAKES A SHEET OF DRIED SEAWEED

(PLACES SCORCHED RICE ON THE TOP)

DONE SCOOPING ALL THE RICE OUT

Yay.

GETS SESAME OIL

SWIRLS IT AROUND TWO AND A HALF TIMES

Hey, prisoner. Are you doing well?

- Insung. - Yeah?

Where's the sauce for kimbap?

MR. ZO INSPECTS THE KIMBAP CORNER

- Sauce? - Yes.

- 160 milliliter? - Yes.

FINDS THE SAUCE FOR HER DURING INSPECTION

MR. ZO TAKES CARE OF HIS EMPLOYEES

POURS 160ML OF KIMBAP SAUCE

- Is that right? - Yes.

POURS

MIX IT EVENLY, AND KIMBAP RICE IS COMPLETE

Actually, I want to add soy sauce and eggs and just eat it.

WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY…?

Doesn't it smell so good?

Right?

Insung, I saw jeotgal in there.

I wonder why people don't add jeotgal to kimbap.

It sounds delicious.

You want to take that risk?

No.

No?

What are you doing?

Scorched rice from earlier.

INSUNG IS CONFUSED

Listen. The rice that was just made was a bit burned at the bottom.

It looked so delicious, so I saved it here.

- I see. - Yes.

We can't make kimbap with it anyway.

It's so good.

It'd be perfect with seasoned anchovy.

Do you want some?

Insung, I think I'm hungry.

I feel hungry even when the customers are buying stuff.

BECOMES IMPATIENT WHEN HUNGRY

WHILE THE HOT RICE COOLS DOWN

AJOONG IS PLANNING TO FILL HER STOMACH

- Nothing is impossible. - What is it?

Where did you get it?

SEASONED ANCHOVY

The owner of a restaurant nearby brought some side dishes.

Enjoy.

TAKES A BITE!

(IT'S SO GOOD)

No more food for you today.

No dinner for you.

MR. ZO LEAVES WITH A JOKE

(SUDDENLY SERIOUS)

I need to pull myself together.

I'LL PULL MYSELF TOGETHER AFTER ANOTHER BITE

Thank you.

MEANWHILE, AT THE CASH REGISTER…

- Don't work too hard. - Thank you.

- Hi. Thank you for waiting. - Hello.

We want to make kimchi fried rice.

- Fried rice? - Yeah.

- Do you like it? - Yeah. A lot.

We love a lot of Korean food.

FEELS PROUD

Hey, hey, hey!

The line is long.

Less talking, more working.

It's not the time for that.

He's my boss. And he always says, "No talking anymore!"

Quickly!

- Okay, I'm so sorry. - So many people waiting!

DESPITE THE VERY LONG LINE

(EVERYONE'S ALL SMILES)

This long line is because of you, huh?

- Come on, Taehyun! - Gosh.

- Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. - How harsh of you to say that.

BUT I'M GOOD AT MATH TOO!

What?

What? Taehyun.

- What's going on now? - It's 7,000...

Oh, my God!

THEIR TOTAL COMES TO $7,525

Oh, my God.

- Seven, five, five, six, zero, zero. - Oh, my God.

Kimbap.

And I punch in kimbap again.

- I saw it's $7,000. - Okay.

Oh, yeah.

I heard you were rich girl.

That's fine.

We just moved here.

Thank you.

Hello.

The total is $49.24.

- That's $60 from you. - Yes.

Where did you park?

- I'll take it. - He'll help you carry them.

- No, it's fine. - He'll help you.

It's too heavy for you to carry it.

I parked it over there.

- I see. - It's far.

I'LL DELIVER IT TO YOUR CAR!

MEANWHILE, THE RICE HAS COOLED DOWN

SHALL I START MAKING SOME KIMBAP?

TAEHYUN JOINS HER

Are you still eating?

- What? - What?

- What? - What?

What are you eating?

- What you still eating? - What are you doing?

- What is this? - What is this?

- What did you do? - What did you do?

What are you… Did you just…

- What are you… - Where did you get this?

We caught you red-handed.

We need video evidence.

What are you doing?

- I've never seen anyone like you. - I can't believe this.

- Ajoong… - Did you make this?

…is this who you are?

APPALLED AT HIS BETRAYAL

I was wondering why the kimbap wasn't coming.

- Is this just for you? - I'm speechless.

Wow, how shocking.

SO UNFAIR

MR. ZO LEAVES AFTER TEASING AJOONG BIG TIME

I was like, "What's taking so long?"

PREPARES TO ROLL DESPITE THE RUCKUS

So, I came to roll some.

KIMBAP PRODUCTION BEGINS

BALL OF RICE MAGNET

SPREAD OUT THE RICE

TAKE OUT THE COLORFUL INGREDIENTS

FROM TAEHYUN'S CORNER

Have you tried adding anything else to the kimbap?

This is all we add here.

I guess that's why it's good.

Something simple and easy to make.

SIMPLE IS BEST

Helps to keep it cheap.

Yay.

PICKING UP THE PACE

- Ajoong, you make them over there. - Oh, okay.

- The rice is here. - Okay.

Sure, take that with you.

(THESE ARE MINE)

Sure, take that with you.

MY PRECIOUS LITTLE RICE BALL

GONNA EAT IT LATER

Can I have two rolls?

- Two roll? - Uh-huh.

ORDER MUST BE PLACED AT THE COUNTER, THOUGH…

- How long time wait? - Fifteen minutes.

Fifteen minute. Only two?

- Just the two? - Just two. Yeah.

- Just two? - Yeah.

- Wait for. Wait for. - Okay. Thank you.

TAEHYUN CAN'T REFUSE A CUSTOMER WHO'S BEEN WAITING

What happened to the man that's usually here?

- Vacation. Vacation. - Oh, good, good, good.

Glad he got to go on vacation.

HE OPTS TO GIVE HER THE PREMADE KIMBAP

- Here. - Thank you so much.

HUSH!

(THERE ARE MANY EYES WATCHING)

OKEY DOKEY

SECRET TIGHTLY SECURED

ALL THE KIMBAP THEY'VE BEEN MAKING

Okay.

Hello.

Oh, wow! Kimbap is coming.

MEANWHILE, RESTAURANT SALES ARE ONGOING

Do you have rice? Just a taste.

- Okay, rice? Rice? - Yeah, yeah.

BROS KNOW HOW TO EAT RAMYEON

- It's free. - Oh, thank you.

Appreciate it.

HE TAKES A BIG SPOONFUL OF RICE

SLURPS ONE SPOONFUL OF RA-BAP

Because it's seafood, the soup is supposed to be really good.

That's why I like the rice with it.

IF YOU SAY IT'S GOOD, I OBVIOUSLY GOTTA TRY IT TOO

IT'S GOOD~

WHEN MEN EAT MEALS TOGETHER:

THEY DON'T TALK

I failed you.

What?

I failed you. I dropped a piece.

(IT'S NOT A "PIECE," IT'S JUST ONE DROP OF SAUCE)

You're good at the chopsticks, man.

I did pretty good.

I... When I first started…

- Did they say it's spicy? - No.

TAEHYUN REVISITS THE BROS

Does it taste okay?

Is it a little spicy? No spicy?

- No, it's not spicy at all. Not spicy. - Really?

I like it. I like it spicy, it's good.

- Yes, good, good. - Yeah.

HE CAN'T SAY MUCH, BUT HE'S RELIEVED THAT THEY LIKE IT

ONE GROUP OF CUSTOMERS ENTER THE MARKET

- Oh, my. Hello, ma'am! - Oh, hello!

- Hello. You've grown so big. - Come on in.

- Hello... Oh, yes. - Please have a seat.

WHO COULD THEY BE…?

- Oh, nice to see you here. - We were just passing by.

You know, making the price tags.

THIS ELDER AND MARKET EMPLOYEE…

We don't have to worry about the price?

…TAUGHT HIM HOW TO PRICE THE PRODUCTS

HE'S HERE WITH HIS GRANDSONS TODAY

Oh, Kai!

- Hello. - Hello, ma'am.

Jerome.

- What's good? You had ramyeon? - Yeah, it's good.

I'll have that too.

- It's spicy. That one's a bit spicy. - It is?

Then we can make it less spicy.

- We can milden up the spice a bit. - Well, these kids...

- Can they eat spicy food? - They grew up in the States.

So they've never had spicy food.

- Are they your grandsons? - Yes, my grandsons.

Little bit spicier. It's okay?

- Uh-huh! - Okay.

- Then, we'll all have ramyeon. - I'll put in my best effort.

- From where? - From church.

I remember your dad.

Were they four or five?

Yeah.

YOU SURE HAVE GROWN BIG

Hello.

- Enjoy your meal. - Okay.

- See you soon. - Goodbye.

THE NEIGHBORS' BRIEF ENCOUNTER ENDS

- Bye. - Bye.

AND THE BROS ARE DONE WITH THEIR MEAL TOO

- Thank you. - Bye. Have a nice day.

THANK YOU FOR THE TASTY MEAL~

THE MILDER DAEGE RAMYEON IS SERVED FIRST

- I'll get you the kimchi and banchan. - Okay.

BLOWING ON IT~

Spicy!

FORTUNATELY, THEY BOTH SEEM TO LIKE IT

BUT HE STILL GETS SOME WATER FOR THEM JUST IN CASE IT GETS SPICY

Try not to get it everywhere.

(THANK YOU, GRANDPA)

HE ACTUALLY SPILLED IT…

I told you.

BUT GRANDPA SIMPLY CHUCKLES

DAEGE RAMYEON ALL SERVED

- Thank you. - No worries.

It must taste better since it's served by such a handsome man.

- Thank you. Okay. - I'll get you some napkin.

Their kimchi looks good.

SHE HAS A TASTE WHILE IT'S STILL HOT

It's chewy.

Hello there, Elder.

The Elder is here.

- It's tough, huh? - Huh?

But… I thought you were going somewhere?

Their school break ends tomorrow.

- School's starting back up on Monday? - Yes.

Thanks to this show… we were able to take care of the kids.

He's never been on break for this long.

- I see. - I never really got to see them much.

- Oh, wow. - Maybe once or twice a year in San Diego.

- Their parents are elsewhere? - Working.

- They work in San Diego. - Oh, I see.

You have to drive them all the way over to San Diego?

- He has to go... - Was it an 11-hour ride?

About eight hours.

- By car? - Of course.

- You okay doing that? - It's a little tiring.

It can't be just a little tiring.

But I'm so thankful to Unexpected Business.

- We get to be with them. - We never got to spend time with them.

Maybe once a year?

My son would come here for a week when he goes on work leave.

- They stay with us for maybe three days. - I see.

They'd leave to travel other places.

THIS ELDER SIMPLY HAD TO WORK DILIGENTLY

BEING THE EMPLOYEE THAT HE WAS AT THIS MARKET

TENDING TO HIS RESPONSIBILITIES FOR MANY YEARS…

I never had the chance to be with them.

I took this opportunity to spend some time with them here.

- Precious moments. - Yes.

MAKING MEMORIES WITH HIS GRANDSONS

ON THIS UNEXPECTED VACATION

You must be glad to see them.

- What? Today? - She came today.

- At 9:00 a.m. - Oh, she came real early.

YOUNGER ONE'S DIGGING FOR CRAB MEAT

He's taking forever with that.

Goodness. This kid knows how to eat crab.

He's solely focused on eating.

SLICES IT IN HALF

THEN, DIGS IT OUT

YUM-YUM

Is there any more meat to dig out?

He's persistent. There must be more meat in there.

- Yes, there's more in there. - What'd you eat with your parents?

SLIPS OUT!

Wow. You were right, kid.

WHAT MATTERS IS AN INDOMITABLE SPIRIT

- That was a huge chunk. Okay. - Oh, wow.

- I should make them some at home. - What a relief.

Who knew they'd like crab this much?

We wouldn't know, since we don't live together.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I LIKE SNOW CRABS, GRANDPA

MEANWHILE, AJOONG IS LEFT ALONE AT THE PLACE OF EXILE

SHE'S QUICK! LOOKING PRETTY MUCH LIKE A PRO NOW…

(WHOO!)

PERHAPS SHE'S ENJOYING HER TIME IN EXILE?

Yay... Oh, I'm out of rice.

STARTS MIXING RIGHT AWAY

Yay!

(YAY! X2)

SHE MUST BE THE TYPE THAT HAS MORE FUN WHEN SHE'S LEFT ALONE…

LOOKS LIKE SHE MIGHT EVEN BE ABLE

TO RUN THE KIMBAP CORNER ALONE

Hello, do you sell meat by any chance?

- Meat? - Yes.

HE'S ASKING FOR MEAT…

- Today is my first day. - I see.

I'll ask... What kind of meat?

Oh, we're going to make bulgogi.

- You're making bulgogi? - Yes.

HIS KOREAN SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD?

Yes, so we need thinly sliced meat.

JUST THEN, TAEHYUN RETURNS

I doubt we sell them.

- Do you sell sliced meat. - Which one?

- I mean, raw meat. - We don't have raw meat.

- Oh, you don't? - Wait, your Korean's so good?

Wait, your Korean's so good?

- What are you playing at? - Well, this is sudden.

This is so ridiculous. He didn't speak a lick of Korean earlier.

- And my friend... - Speaking Korean for Ajoong?

Well, my friend was right next to me.

Wow, this guy.

Wow. You didn't speak any Korean when you were over there!

- Really? - He wouldn't have understood us then.

HE STILL DOESN'T, THOUGH…

Wow, you're seriously totally fluent?

What a twist.

Oh, my goodness…

Anyway, we don't sell raw meat.

We only sell frozen meat.

- Frozen meat? - Yeah, the…

WE'LL TAKE FROZEN MEAT

- Shall we have a look? - Yes.

This is all the meat we have.

HE PULLS OUT TWO PACKS OF FROZEN MEAT

THE CUSTOMER RETURNS TO AJOONG

Do you have something like oligosaccharide?

- Oligosaccharide? - Yes.

Oligosaccharide…

This corner has all the seasonings.

THEY BOTH GO TO THE SEASONING CORNER

LOOKING THOROUGHLY

- I'll try someplace else. - Okay, sure.

- I'll ask around too. - Oh, no need.

- Oh, gosh... - No need for that. I'd hate to...

Look at that guy. Look at him.

Please come here, sir.

Get over here, you! Insung wants you to come here.

Please come!

(HESITANT)

- Come here, please. - Whoa, he's Korean?

You only spoke to me in English the whole time.

You know he kept talking to Ajoong in Korean?

- I caught him. - Wow.

Well, aren't you a funny one?

You're placing your order in English? To us?

I'm sorry.

My friend can't speak Korean.

- Your friend can't, but you can. - Boy, aren't you a righteous one?

But we didn't talk much.

That's why I didn't talk to you!

Because you kept speaking English.

He loves to talk! You know how much he loves to talk?

Gosh, I'm sorry.

- It's because he's so busy. - Come again next time.

Speak in Korean when you come.

- Okay. - Goodbye!

AFTER THE COMMOTION…

How cute.

So you work here too.

Do you also work here, ma'am?

- Yes. - I work on Tuesdays and Fridays.

SHE WORKS PART-TIME SHIFTS

You must know this place well.

I take care of the stock and make the kimbap.

You also make japchae.

How do you make japchae here?

The owner of the market is very quick-witted.

That's right.

He also makes kimchi.

We make kimchi three times a week.

Wow.

HE'S AMAZED JUST HEARING ABOUT IT

The owner of this place is amazing.

He doesn't even take a day off.

- He does the work himself. - Exactly.

That's why I... I just can't believe it.

He takes one day off a year. On January 1st.

OPEN 364 DAYS A YEAR

He didn't at first, but he started a few years ago.

Earlier, someone said…

I told her that the owner was on vacation.

She said, "I don't think he's ever been on vacation."

She said it's probably his first vacation.

It's probably his first.

That's how we are also spending time with our grandchildren. Thanks to you.

Do you only work here then?

Or do you have another job?

A piano academy.

Do you run a piano academy?

- You're the director? - Yes.

ISN'T SHE AMAZING?

How many students come here?

My students... Well, there was Shakira and Kai.

Everyone? I see.

- They're all her students. - She is the director of a piano academy.

Oh, piano?

MANY STUDENTS ATTENDED HER PIANO ACADEMY

But I've been doing it for 30 years now.

I just closed the piano academy.

You're retired now? Why?

It's been 30 years.

And… I just…

I'd been thinking about taking a break.

AN OLD PIANO ACADEMY IN MARINA

MANY MEMORIES EXIST HERE, A MEDAL OF HONOR OF HER LIFE

Over here…

LAST SUMMER, ON AUGUST 8TH, SOME TIME DURING OUR SHOOT

THE LAST LESSON AT THE PIANO ACADEMY TOOK PLACE

ALTHOUGH THE CHILDREN'S MELODIES WILL NO LONGER BE HEARD HERE

THEY WILL THINK OF THIS PLACE FROM TIME TO TIME

EVEN WHEN THEY'RE OLDER

AS THEY'RE HAVING A LONG CHAT AT THE MARKET

We're here.

- It's here. - Okay.

Your destination is on the left.

WE'RE IN LA, SO WE GOTTA TRY WHAT'S FAMOUS HERE

Wow, it's quite big.

LA KOREATOWN'S SUNDUBU HOT PLACE!

Gosh.

It's been a while.

- Let's have some sundubu! - Yes.

- Wow, this place is really famous. - I know.

You have to come here when you come to LA.

I wonder what's so delicious here.

This is... Well, it's not going to be easy, you know.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE EASY~ (TO SATISFY OUR TASTE BUDS)

Wow.

LET'S START WITH THE MENU!

What's the most popular one?

I think there should be a combo.

- The "galbi and sundubu combo." - Oh, this must be it.

This one called "entry combo."

It's a combo style.

Hello.

We'll order.

I'll have the seafood sundubu.

The kimchi sundubu, and make it spicy.

ORDER COMPLETE

I'm looking forward to it.

This is where the chair store began.

I wonder how good it will be.

LOL

I can't help but smile.

IT'S ALWAYS JOYFUL TO WAIT FOR FOOD

- Hi. - Hello.

Oh, croaker.

+ KIMCHI

Thank you.

A FULLY SET TABLE IN NO TIME

KYUNGHO TRIES THE FAMILIAR EOMUK FIRST

YUM

I tried the eomuk. It's good.

- But I can't stop thinking about kimbap. - You need to roll more.

(IT'S ANNOYINGLY FAMILIAR)

- You can't break it. - I won't.

It's hard to roll then.

YUMMY~

It's geotjeori.

- Wow, it's delicious. - Yes.

I know we've been eating Korean food here...

- Feels like Korea here, right? - Yes.

It's quite heartwarming.

THE NEXT DISH IS HERE!

- Oh, seafood sundubu. - Thank you.

Kimchi sundubu. Thank you.

Thank you.

Wow.

Wow. Shall I try the soup?

Wow.

Wow.

BLOWING

Oh, wow!

Wow.

(MISTERS IMPRESSED) WOW~!

TAKES A BITE OF THE TOFU

YUM~

It's so delicious.

(REFRESHED)

- It's quite addictive. - Yes.

HE'S IN AWE~!

I don't need the rice because the soup is so good.

It doesn't taste different just because we're in the US.

It tastes like the best restaurant in Korea.

The kind that people line up for.

I want to order another one after this.

With some soft tofu on the side.

We have to try the galbi too.

It's here. It's here!

Wow, that sure is a lot.

- Thank you. - Please enjoy.

Wow, this is insane.

I wish I had a bigger appetite, but I can't eat as much as it seems.

GOTTA HAVE LA GALBI IN LA

(A NOD OF SATISFACTION)

It's been nonstop for us.

Yes.

A BIG BITE

(GRAB IT AND RIP IT)

The ones on the bone are really good. There's no fat.

So this is what the original LA ribs are like?

Oh, LA galbi in LA?

UP NEXT IS GALBI + RICE

You know your food!

TAKES A BIG BITE

UP NEXT IS KIMCHI + GALBI + RICE

I forgot I was eating this.

THE ULTIMATE STEP, GALBI + SCORCHED RICE

Gotta add the water in the end.

…GALBI IS LOVE…!

You know what gets me mad when I eat something really good?

- The fact that I'm getting full. - Totally.

Your palate is still going but your stomach isn't.

Glad we got to eat this before leaving.

- You're right. - Yes.

It's the best meal I had here so far.

- Right? - Yes.

LA GALBI IS THE BEST IN LA!

That was good.

- That was so good. - Let's go.

MEANWHILE, IN THE KIMBAP CORNER

It's so nice making kimbap, Taehyun.

I think this is the easiest job.

You won't be coming here starting tomorrow.

No way!

You'll be over there the whole time.

WHILE MR. CHA AND AJOONG ARE MAKING KIMBAP WHILE CHATTING,

YOUNG-LOOKING CUSTOMERS

ARE COMING INTO THE MARKET

THEY HEAD STRAIGHT INSIDE WITHOUT HESITATION

We have cute customers.

The cuties are here. Who are they?

INNOCENT

HESITANT

THEY SEEM TO BE HERE FOR LUNCH

Come here.

We'll have Jeffrey be the odd one out.

- We'll have Jeffrey over there. - Yeah.

Let me get a picture.

A FRIEND JOINS THEM A LITTLE LATE

Hey, guys.

Your friends?

- Just asked if we're friends. - Yes.

THEY TAKE TURNS WAVING

(CUTE CUSTOMERS!)

Am I gonna be the only person that's gonna be able to translate for you guys?

- Yes. - Yes, you are.

I think I know Korean.

- No, I know Japanese. - No, you don't.

I know Japanese, not Korean.

EVEN THE SMALLEST JOKES MAKE THEM LAUGH

You speak Korean, right?

I can speak Korean, but they can't...

- They can't, but you can? - Yes.

- I speak just a little. - It's okay.

All ramyeon?

Yes.

It might be a bit spicy. Is that okay?

You guys want it spicy?

- No! - No spicy.

- All of you? - Not spicy for all of us.

TABLE 2 4 MILD RAMYEON

- Hi. Are you here with your friends? - Yes.

Yes.

So you guys is best friend in the school?

SHY FOR NO REASON

AT ONE CORNER OF THE RESTAURANT

JUHWAN QUIETLY PREPARES FOUR DRINKS

Hello.

WELCOME DRINKS FOR OUR TEENAGE FRIENDS

- It's for you guys. - Thank you.

- Did they order Coke? - Free.

- It's on the house. - On the house?

It's just service for you guys.

- Yeah, from him. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Say "thank you" in Korean. "Gamsahamnida."

- Thank you. - That's "thank you."

- Gamsahamnida. - Gamsahamnida.

Yeah, good.

And say, "yeppeuda."

- Yeppeuda. - Yeppeuda.

- Yeppeuda. - Okay.

- Yeppeuda. - Yeppeuda.

- Yeppeuda. - Okay, thank you.

- Yeppeuda. - Okay, thank you.

SHE GOT YOU, LOL

PRETTY KYEONGRIM TEACHES THEM KOREAN AND MAKES THEM LAUGH

I like how all of you guys didn't get it because you can't understand Korean.

You know, it was really funny to me.

It means "very pretty."

Like, if you say yeppeuda by itself.

(SHE'S FUNNY)

That's your opinion. Yeppeuda.

That's what I thought too.

EMPTY!

We were in a rush just earlier.

- It's quiet now. - Another rush happens later today.

- Really? - It's sudden.

Remember the line from earlier? The customers are all gone now.

- I see. - People eat now and take some rest.

But after they eat, they come back for groceries.

I thought it was going to be super busy all day, so I was so worried.

You were worried?

- I thought, "What do I do?" - Come here.

- Sit here for a second. - Okay.

You need to rest while you can.

- Rest for a bit. - Really? I might finish up on the kimbap.

- Just finish that up. - Okay.

LET ME FINISH UP THE KIMBAP

WORKING HARD

Can you make a cup of tea for Ajoong?

It seems like she barely drank anything.

- I see. - She knows how to take care of herself.

- What? - No need to worry about her.

She does everything herself. Eating, drinking, and more.

Really?

She made herself onigiri and was caught while eating it.

I thought she wasn't eating or drinking anything.

- But I see. - I got her some water earlier too.

Then give me some water.

- Warm water? - Yes, warm.

Okay, thank you.

I guess Ajoong drank some water, huh?

- Yes. - So cute.

KYEONGRIM TAKES CARE OF AJOONG FIRST THEN DRINKS WATER

- Is it okay? - Perfect. It's lukewarm.

Bring Ajoong here now.

THEY'RE ABOUT TO TAKE AJOONG OUT OF KIMBAP HELL

Ajoong keeps hiding over there.

Hold on.

MR. CHA SETS OFF TO GET AGENT AJOONG

What? She's not here again.

Yes? I'm here!

Hey, Ajoong.

CAUTIOUS

- Let me fix my makeup and go. - Sure.

Why are you laughing?

- What's wrong? - She got caught fixing her makeup again.

I see.

- Why are you giving her a hard time? - I mean, it's so strange.

I'm not even trying to give her a hard time.

She did a lot of work today,

so I was gonna get her out of kimbap hell, but she wasn't there.

Where was she?

She was in the lounge, fixing her makeup.

Gosh. Wow, Ajoong.

She's a new character we haven't seen.

IT'S AN EMPLOYEE'S DUTY TO LOOK NEAT!

DELICIOUS DAEGE RAMYEON IS READY

- Who ordered that one? - Thank you.

- I know what kimchi is, Ethan. - Huh?

I know what kimchi is.

I never said you didn't know what kimchi was.

SLURP

Spicy?

Are you okay?

NODS

JUHWAN OPENS UP THE FRIDGE QUIETLY

- There are four, so have one each. - Thank you.

SWEET RED BEAN ICE CREAM ON THE HOUSE

TAKES A BITE

- That was good. - I liked the ramyeon.

Oh, yeah. I'm gonna save this one for Cater

because it's gonna cool down your tongue a lot.

This is really good.

I actually really like it.

JESUS…

I like it. I love it.

- I'm glad you like it. - It's delicious. I want more.

It's huge.

Tell them to bring out the napa cabbage.

They must've not put out all the napa cabbages.

I should ask for some.

- Please bring out the napa cabbages. - Sure.

- Hello. - Hi.

- Napa cabbages? - Yes.

JUST IN TIME, MR. CHA WAS ON HIS WAY TO GET KIMBAP

They're looking for napa cabbages.

Napa cabbages?

This isn't enough.

- You want more? - Yes.

Then…

JUST GIVE ME A MOMENT…

Is he gone?

MEANWHILE, THEY PICK OUT FRESH NAPA CABBAGES

He's looking for them.

I'm glad they came while you're here, sir.

- They arrived on the same day. - The same day.

They came in together.

And there was a person waiting in the front.

Three rolls.

THE CART IS FULL OF NAPA CABBAGES

SATISFIED

It's mine, right?

- Wow. - The napa cabbages have gone bad.

- All the cabbages are bad? - Yes.

- What should we do? - Don't forget this.

Then give us a discount.

A SUDDEN BARGAIN

Well, I guess I have no choice but to give you a discount.

It's $19.47, but let's do $15.

BARGAIN SUCCESSFUL

It's mine.

- Where's mine? - There.

Sorry.

Are you going to make kimchi with this?

- What are you making? Geotjeori? - I'm making kimchi.

Can I put it in there right now?

AGENT AJOONG SENSIBLY HELPS WITH THE CABBAGES

Oh, you're buying a lot.

HEAVILY PACKED

Where to? I'll move it for you.

Wow, the weather is so nice!

Be careful.

- Be careful. - Be careful? Oh, I will.

FEELING THE COOL BREEZE WHILE DELIVERING GROCERIES

- Throw it in there. - Shall I just put it here?

AJOONG HELPS PUT THEM IN THE CAR

- What about the kimbap? - Put it here.

- In here? - Yes.

You should eat it quickly before it goes bad.

Okay, thank you.

- Drive safely... Oh, sure. - Come here again with your friends.

Oh, this?

- I'll move it for you. - It's okay.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

- There's quite... - It's all mine.

Oh, that's mine.

- Here you go. - There's more?

- Yes, here. - Yes, I'll do it, ma'am.

AFTER SAFELY LOADING ALL THE CABBAGES

Drive home safely.

- Could you take care of this? - Yes, sure.

Drive home safely.

THEY THANK EACH OTHER AND PART WAYS

JUST AS SHE PUTS THE CART BACK IN PLACE

Hyojoo was here a little while ago.

It's heartbreaking that her photo is all covered up.

Let's try this.

Wait, the one next to her is Ms. Chae Sira.

- Thank you. - Sure.

SHE RETURNS TO THE MARKET

AFTER SHE MOVES THE CARTS SO THEY DON'T COVER THEIR FACES

MEANWHILE, MR. ZO SEEMS TO BE WAITING FOR SOMEONE

And then we have the other cooks. And then my wife.

- Oh, your wife? - She should be there.

If she's not there, I'm gonna fire her.

Again! I fired her so many times.

My wife... I've fired her maybe…

four times?

- She also fired you. - Yeah, she does... she fires me too.

They fire each other, huh?

- Okay. I know, I know. - Okay.

"You're fired." "No, you're fired!"

- It's almost. - They really know what you're gonna get.

- Are you guys excited? - Yeah, I'm actually really excited.

- Let me introduce my chef. - Okay.

FEELING THE PRESSURE

- He is usually very so nice man. - Okay?

But

he shows great charisma…

than anyone else in the kitchen!

- Oh, okay? - So!

HIGH IN ANTICIPATION

That's a bit much, no?

So, he is god of king crab ramyeon!

IT'S NOT "KING CRAB," ACTUALLY

Please welcome my chef!

MC KYEONGRIM SAYS: PLEASE GIVE A HAND TO MY CHEF

- That's right! That's right! - All about the vibe.

Oh, yes. You gotta…

PERFORMANCE SUCCESS

Gotta give it a little Salt Bae.

- Thank you. - Thank you, Chef.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

- Looks great. - I'm excited.

I'm excited too.

IT'S LOOKING TASTY AS ALWAYS

- Okay. - So, first…

THE CHEF TRIES THE SOUP FIRST

- King crab? - It's like king crab.

That's, uh, snow crab.

CHEF MAC GUESSES THE EXACT KIND OF CRAB IN IT

It's just a little spicy.

It's like fermented chili paste, right?

Yeah, it's Korean spicy paste.

The ramyeon.

Different regions, it's a little different.

TIME TO TASTE THE NOODLES

It's really rich.

They must really like it.

- Korean-style ramyeon. - Very good.

MR. ZO SEEMS MORE NERVOUS TO BE COOKING FOR A PROFESSIONAL CHEF

Chef, how is it?

- It's very good. Yeah. - It's very good?

SHAHEEN THE OWNER ENJOYS KIMCHI TOO

This kimchi looks spicy.

Yes, kimchi is spicy.

But it's very good for your health.

My son, he's two years old. We give him kimchi.

- Oh? - Really?

MR. ZO IS THINKING HARD ABOUT SOMETHING

Should I give them some jeotgal?

- We do have seasoned cucumbers. - That too.

MR. ZO WANTS TO SHOWCASE MORE KOREAN FOOD

- I'll bring them... Okay. - Stir-fried anchovies too.

JUHWAN BRINGS OUT THE CONTAINER OF BANCHAN

HE PLATES THE SEASONED CUCUMBERS AND STIR-FRIED ANCHOVIES

FROM THE KOREAN RESTAURANT OWNER

It's side dish for you guys.

PLEASE TRY THESE BANCHAN

- Small fish? - Yes, small fish.

THE OWNER & CHEF TAKE AN INTEREST

What's anchovies in English? What was it?

We talked about it yesterday.

In English... Anchovies!

- Small anchovies, baby anchovies. - Baby, baby.

- Hot pepper sauce. - It's not sour.

(HOW ARE THE BANCHAN?)

It's not... It's not sour.

- That's really good. - Yeah, it's really good.

But then you fry it, right?

And then dress it in something.

Soy…

THEY BOTH TRY TO GUESS HOW THEY WERE MADE

As expected of a chef and restaurant owner.

- The recipe is what they focus on. - Little bit... Like a…

Little acid in there.

FASCINATED

And oil, fry.

MR. ZO TRIES TO BE INFORMATIVE AS THE KOREAN FOOD PRO HERE

- Fried, huh? - Yeah, fried. Oil-fried.

What's the name of this?

- This one? Myeolchi bokkeum. - Yeah.

- He must really like this. - Korean stir-fried anchovies.

- That's right. - Yeah, yeah.

SHAHEEN SEARCHES IT UP RIGHT AWAY

Myeolchi bokkeum?

- Myeolchi bokkeum. - Myeolchi bokkeum, yeah.

Pronunciation good.

They're looking at the recipe first.

They run their own restaurant, so they're reading the recipe first.

So they give to children in their lunch box, huh?

- That's right. - Yeah.

MR. ZO LEAVES HIS SPOT SUDDENLY

That's why I think they should try it with rice.

Dry, sharp taste.

Okay, my chef. Why don't you eat the myeolchi bokkeum with rice.

It's good match.

- Like they're not vinegar. - Right.

SWEET, FRAGRANT STIR-FIRED ANCHOVIES ON WARM WHITE RICE

Is it good? How is it?

THIS CAN'T NOT BE TASTY

It's a great matching.

Come have you teach my geniuses.

He's really into stir-fried anchovies.

People tend to take a liking to different dishes.

WHILE THE OWNER & THE CHEF ENJOYS THEIR MEAL

TAILORED TO MR. ZO'S SUGGESTIONS

- We're done here. - Okay.

- Have a nice day. - Thank you.

- Have a nice day. - The food was delicious.

- Thank you. - Thank you so much.

HIS WIFE, THE BIG BOSS, WILL SCOLD YOU

She wants you to hurry back?

- You have to hurry up? - Go, go, go.

MR. CHA COMES TO THE KITCHEN WHILE THE MARKET IS SLOW

He's on the phone with his wife.

Wife…

- Oh, you got fired today by your wife? - Wife is everything.

OWNER'S DISMISSED OVER THE PHONE

They're leaving now.

- They want to pay the bill. - Ah, no, no.

- Free, free. - Free.

He'll love it if you give this to him as a gift.

HE BRINGS KOREAN ANCHOVIES AND ALCOHOL TO GIVE THEM AS GIFTS

Alcohol and myeolchi.

- "Myeolchi." - Yes.

- …I'll just say it. - Okay, thank you.

- Thank you. - Boss.

- He prepared… - Oh, my goodness.

- …some gift for you guys. - That's my favorite!
