- Let me introduce our today's guests.
Oh Hyun-kyung and Lee Moon-sik.
She's the winner of Miss Korea in 1989...
She doesn't seem to age. Isn't it amazing?
- I wonder what the Miss Korea winners usually eat at home.
- I enjoy eating fatty pork belly.
- You like Tripe, don't you?
- Wow...
I love old-fashioned snacks.
I love that.
I like to eat it greedily.
- But how is that even possible?
- Sorry.
I was born with this...
- It's time to begin the greasy food match.
What are you making?
- It's Fried Pork Belly In Soy Sauce.
- Fried Pork Belly In Soy Sauce!
My goodness.
- Fried Pork Belly In Soy Sauce.
- Look at the meat.
Oh my.
- I can't believe he really made that in 15 minutes.
- She's trying the dessert...
- My mouth is watering.
- Please show us the result.
Hyun-kyung's choice.
Excuse me, but how old are you?
- I was born in the Year of the Horse.
- Really? Me too.
- Born in 1966?
- I think it's 1967.
People waited a year before registering a birth at that time because of measles.
- My goodness...
- He's born in 1966 then.
- I think it's a bit inappropriate to say that
in front of Yeon-bok here...
- Right.
- But I'm just telling the truth.
We had electricity for the first time when I was a sixth grader.
I had to use a kerosene lamp before then.
- Where were you living?
- I used to live in Sunchang back then.
- Sunchang?
- Oh, Sunchang.
- I was living in Ipseok Village 487.
- He's the star from the small village.
Now we can understand.
1967 or 1968...
It's civilized at that time. - Civilized...
- He's talking about kerosene lamps and electricity.
- But it's true.
- But you don't look that old.
- You look young, but you sound very old.
- He doesn't look old.
- It's because I've been playing the role of a lower-class person often.
I can look young if they give me the role of a king.
Don't you think? - Right.
He's right.
- I can look good in great clothes.
Maybe not.
- Don't worry.
You look awesome.
- It's grown into a habit.
He's bowing like this.
- Please give me some better roles.
I get beaten as a servant all the time.
- But you're really good at playing those roles.
- But I can play the role of a king as well.
He looks a bit like Lee Young-pyo.
- Right.
- But you look much younger.
But he's much younger than me, isn't he?
- Yes, he is.
- But he looks really old for his age.
- Why would you sacrifice your friend just to make one person feel better?...
Just to cheer someone up.
- We like to do that.
We have to.
- Also, he looks a bit like Lee Yeon-bok...
They do look alike.
- I remember he looked very familiar
and likable on TV.
Also, I like his old-fashioned name that ends with "Bok".
- Like Chil-bok and Pal-bok.
- Right.
- People named their children like this back then.
"Yeon" represents coal briquette, and "Bok" means property.
My parents named me like that because they wanted me to
live a life full of coal briquettes and properties.
- I'm just kidding.
- He's so serious that I thought he's telling the truth.
- We can't make fun of those things.
- I heard historical drama directors think there are certain faces
that fit the roles of kings and those that fit the roles of the lower classes.
- You two can play the roles of kings.
- Really?
- "He's going to be the king."
- Let's say you're some historical drama director.
Who do you think should be a king here? Please also pick the lower classes...
- I think Poong fits the role of a king.
- Are you serious?
- Actually, it's a bit relative.
And since Yeon-bok looks like me,
he should play the role of a lower-class person.
The historical drama directors usually don't like to take a risk.
- What about Yoo Hyun-soo?
- I think he and I are at the same level.
- But he thinks he's really good-looking. - He even aims to go to Hollywood.
- He's free to go to Hollywood as he pleases.
But I think it will be fun to play roles with them.
I think we should be brothers on the show...
- They look like brothers.
- I think this will work.
- What about Raymon Kim?
- We can see many characters like him on historical drama shows.
He looks like some Chinese commander.
- It looks like each person has different roles.
Wow, Moon-sik has been acting for 23 years.
- Already? That long?
- Do you remember all your works?
- Of course, I do.
- Could you list some?
- Green Fish, Beat, Love Story,
Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield, Hi! Dharma!, The Big Swindle,
Battlefield Heroes, and so on.
- It's amazing.
His movie is coming soon. It's been 6 years since you filmed the last one, right?
- Right.
- You're playing the main role, right?
- Right, but it's not unexpected.
- Not unexpected.
- Really?
- Could you tell us about the film a bit?
- Karaoke Crazies.
- Karaoke Crazies...
- Did you hold a preview of the film?
- Not yet.
- Please invite me.
- Excluding us.
- At the preliminary interview, he told the staff that
he really wanted to work with you someday. - Me too.
- I've always wanted to work with you.
- It becomes more difficult to play a melodramatic role as I get older.
No one is offering me any melodramatic role.
- Right, time is passing by.
- I'm not getting any melodramatic roles.
- I was on the same drama show
with her three times.
Go Hyun-Jung...
Sorry.
- I did a historical drama called Queen Seondeok with her.
We're on the same show, but I never had
a chance to work with her because of difference in social standing.
- I think you're awesome.
- I had a chance to play the role of a married couple with a Miss Korea.
- Who?
- Kim Sung-ryung. I was her husband on the show called Iljimae.
- Kim Sung-ryung?
- See, it's possible.
- But there's something wrong with our relationship from the beginning.
- Right.
- She loves some other guy on the show.
So I kept complaining
to the director about it.
So there's the scene of our wedding night.
I was expecting some romantic moment.
But I had to blow out the candle, and that's all.
I got killed the next morning.
- By the way, I can't be believe Moon-sik is 50 years old.
What's more surprising is that... - Right, it's unbelievable.
- He has such an amazing
six pack.
- Wow.
- Really?
- Everyone has a six pack inside.
- It's awesome.
Please lift your shirt right now.
- Madam~.
- Lift your shirt right now~.
- She's telling you to lift your shirt.
- Wow.
Moon-sik.
- He's maintaining his figure well.
- It's because my face looks terrible.
- But you look older as you exercise more.
I think he exercises too much.
- Right.
- It's better than mine during the career.
- Really?
- He seems very fit. - Excellent.
- Do you work out every day?
- Yes, I do.
It's a big part of my life.
I usually drink or exercise
during my free time.
- Is it possible to have a six pack by doing sit-ups?
- Of course.
Like Bruce Lee and Kwon Sang-woo,
I usually do Leg Raise.
- Like this.
- That's amazing.
- Let's have a look together.
- Wow.
- It's really amazing.
- Excellent.
- I'm so embarrassed.
- It's so admirable.
Do you have meals with your family at home often?
- Yes, but we usually eat organic food.
We even pack lunch for our children every day.
- Do you?
- No.
I mean my wife.
My goodness. I thought it's you.
- How old are your sons?
You have two sons, right?
- Right, one is 15 years old, and the other is 12 years old.
- He's the same age as my daughter.
- One is an 8th grader, and the other is a 5th grader.
- An 8th grader? Is he studying abroad?
- It's because they're getting alternative education.
- They go to some alternative school, right?
- Right, it has a different system.
- The elder one has long hair, right?
The younger one looks more friendly.
- Right.
- He's much more friendly. I think about him all the time.
- He must be like a daughter to him.
- I really miss him.
- They seem so reliable.
It says you hesitated to open your fridge here.
- In fact, I'm the 11th succeeding son of the Lee family.
- The 11th succeeding son?
- Yes.
- In Sunchang?
- Wow, I think your wife deserves to be praised.
- Right.
- She's married to the wrong person.
Anyway...
I'm the 11th succeeding son, so
my mother is the 10th daughter-in-law.
She's from Jeolla-do, so
she's such an excellent cook.
- No wonder.
- But my wife is from Seoul.
She had such a hard time in the beginning.
It's hard to satisfy my mother's expectations.
It's really easy to tell
which dishes are from my mother.
All you have to do is to try them.
It's easy to tell by tasting them.
If it's good, it's from my mother.
- I love the dishes from Jeolla-do.
- Sorry, darling.
But my wife's really cool about it.
She doesn't really care.
- Okay.
Let's see if your mother
will be pleased.
- It's fun to look at other people's fridges.
- Let's open the fridge of the 11th succeeding son of the Lee family.
- Wow, my goodness.
It doesn't look bad at all.
- In fact, we cleaned it up for this show.
- Did you?
- My goodness.
- By the way, the fridge looks pretty old.
- It's really old.
We bought it when we got married.
- How long have you been married?
- It's been 14 years.
- It's very old then.
But...
- Didn't you say your son's 15 years old?
- Oh my.
Wait.
Your son is 15 years old, but you've been married for 14 years.
- At that time...
I couldn't afford the gifts for the bride's family.
You all know it's important, right?
That's how the 12th succeeding son of the Lee family was born.
- Why don't we just talk about food? - We didn't expect that
we'd find that out this way. - It's very sharp.
Let's look at the first section.
You have different kinds of powder here.
- That's mugwort powder.
The other one is just coffee powder for deodorization.
- For deodorization?
It's not for eating, is it?
- I thought it's some special powder.
I thought it's some medicinal herb.
- You should put a copper coin in the cup of soju
and leave it in the fridge. It works very well.
- A copper coin in the cup of soju.
- I'm sure the daughter-in-law of the Lee family knew that already.
- Right, every family has a different way of deodorizing.
- She's like her hateful sister-in-law.
Let's move on to the third section.
I see liquor bottles here.
It says "Thuja Orientalis Wine".
- Someone gave me
that medicinal herb wine as a gift.
- How much can you drink?
- I'm sure you can drink a lot.
- Right. - To be honest, I'm not really sure
how much I can drink since I always stay to the end.
It's an act of betrayal to leave early. - He really is a heavy drinker.
- I don't even go to the restroom often.
It's because I don't want to spoil the mood.
- We found raw rice wine here as well.
Do you like raw rice wine?
- Yes, it's my favorite.
- Who do you usually drink with?
- I usually drink with my wife.
She's a heavy drinker.
- Really?
- Yes, we discuss many things including education while drinking.
- Right.
That sounds great.
- But sometimes, I feel a bit uncomfortable the next morning.
And then, I ask her, "Did we fight last night?"
But we both have no idea.
- You both don't remember
anything, right?
- That happens a lot.
We both don't remember anything.
- My goodness.
What do you usually eat with raw rice wine?
- Just kimchi is enough for me.
My wife is all I need when drinking.
- But they feel a bit uncomfortable the next morning.
- It's strange, isn't it?
Right, it's weird.
- I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about.
- If your back feels stiff, it means you did something wrong.
- Right.
- It means you challenged or
got smashed in the back.
- Okay, I see.
It's meat.
Here, I see different kinds of meat
including pork belly and brisket.
Do you like meat?
Do you prefer pork?
- Yes.
I prefer pork to beef.
I used to live with 20 people in the country when I was little.
It's hard to find
beef in the soup.
It's very rare to see beef in those days.
But the pork was relatively common.
- Let's look at the crisper drawer.
It's filled with vegetables.
Mushroom, lettuce, paprika, garlic, and cucumber.
Do you like vegetables?
- I'm not a fan of vegetables, but
I must eat garlic with every dish.
I enjoy eating raw garlic with soybean paste.
I also love hot pepper.
It's the secret to my amazing stamina.
It's a must.
- He has to eat garlic and hot pepper.
I see side dishes here.
Did your wife make these?
- You can easily tell which one's made by my wife.
The good ones are from my mother.
- It's very mean.
This will be aired.
- Sorry, darling. I'll buy you a drink when I get home.
- My goodness.
These are almost empty. - They look really delicious.
- But I don't see any my wife's side dish there.
- Really? - Those are all from my mother.
- Let's go find it.
- I'm sure there is one.
- She usually makes pickled onion or cucumber.
- Wait.
We just found it.
- Wow, this kimchi is amazing.
- The pickled cucumber is really good.
- I love it.
- Really?
- Let me taste this onion dish.
- It's classic.
- What do you think?
- The seasoning of this lance asiabell root dish is amazing.
- You can't get this kind of red pepper paste from the market.
- Sunchang is well-known for red pepper paste.
- Right.
- It's so obvious.
It's really easy to tell which dish is
from Jeonju.
Seriously.
- Right, it's very classic.
- Sam, what do you think
about his wife's pickled cucumber?
- I really enjoyed it.
But his mother's dishes taste very strong.
They are so different.
- I've got used to the taste of
my mother's dishes for 50 years...
- Right.
- We've been married for 14 years, but
my taste doesn't seem to change.
- He's got used to the taste of his mother's dishes.
- Right, he prefers something that has a strong taste.
- Okay, I see.
Is there any food that
you particularly don't like?
- I don't like raw seafood.
I go to raw seafood places sometimes not to gain weight.
But I prefer meat.
- What about raw skate?
- That sounds delicious.
- I enjoy eating fermented skate.
- It's really good, isn't it?
- It goes really well with raw rice wine.
- How come there isn't any skate in your fridge?
Shame on you.
My goodness.
- Why am I getting scolded here?...
My wife is the only one who can scold me.
- She's craving fermented skate.
- Let's move on to the freezer.
I see different kinds of instant food here.
Grilled Meat...
Dumplings and Chicken Feet.
It's instant Korean Sausage.
- My kids picked those
when doing grocery shopping.
- And it's fish.
- Mackerel.
- Yellow corbina.
Well, here...
It's some kind of powder.
- I have no idea.
- It's perilla powder.
- It's from my mother.
- It goes really well with Seaweed Soup.
- Right, it goes perfectly well with certain dishes.
- Hand-pulled Dough Soup and Seaweed Soup.
- Eel Soup...
- It's too bad there isn't any eel in the fridge.
- Hey, skate and eel...
Isn't it too much to ask?...
- I'm just saying because I see perilla powder here.
I'm sure your mother
will feel the same way.
- Mother, this show is about making dishes with the ingredients in the fridge.
- It's just because we found perilla powder in the fridge.
- I think my wife deserves a compliment for that.
- Are you talking about this?
- Yes, it's the water mixed with some vegetable extract.
- Really?
What kind of vegetable extract?
- It's the enzyme extract from different vegetables.
- She made this for the health of her family, right?
Wow, the 11th daughter-in-law of the Lee family.
- Please say it louder.
- Moon-sik's mother.
You should praise her
for her devotion to the family.
- It's the source of strength.
- Let's give her a big hand.
- His mother is giving her a hand as well.
- I really love my wife.
- Okay...
Great.
- It's time to announce today's contestants.
The first seed is Kim Poong. He has six stars.
- 6 wins?
- The second seed is Yoo Hyun-soo. He has five stars.
The third seed is Mihal. He has four stars.
The last seed is Lee Won-il. He has one star.
- Wow, 4, 5, 6.
It's so close.
- It's time to see Moon-sik's wish dishes.
Please show it on the screen.
Let's take a look.
"Wow~ What A Bowl Of Delicious Rice Soup".
- I used to make $2,000~3,000 a year when I was a stage actor...
- After distributing flyers and putting up posters,
I usually had the first simple meal
at 5 pm back then.
It's usually 9 pm when the performance's over.
I was really starving.
- Right.
- The producer took me to some Korean Sausage Soup place
every time the performance's over.
I still remember it's so good that
I even asked him to buy me
the soup ever day instead of paying me.
I still remember the time of hunger.
The soup makes me emotional and reminds me of those days.
I hope I can taste some Rice Soup here. It doesn't have to be Korean Sausage Soup.
I'm sure it'll bring back my old memories
and help me feel happy about my life.
- Next...
- "Hey, Give Me A Bowl of Raw Rice Wine".
- It's the side dish for raw rice wine, right?
- Me and my wife... Sorry, I was speaking in dialect.
- It's alright. - I want some side dish that
we can enjoy without getting into a fight when drinking raw rice wine...
Some side dish for raw rice wine
that can make us feel peaceful and happy.
- Won-il gets to choose first.
-I'll go for the second dish.
- The side dish for raw rice wine.
Okay.
He chose the second one.
- Unconditionally.
- I must choose the second one.
No wonder he loves alcohol.
Right.
We're not surprised.
- I think he's at a disadvantage. He's from Bulgaria, isn't he?
- But he's really good at making Korean dishes.
I'm also good at speaking in dialect.
- Let's hear some.
- My goodness~.
- He's good. My goodness~.
- It's delicious~.
Then, Poong and Hyun-soo have no choice
but to have the rice soup match with each other.
- Oh my.
- It seems that Hyun-soo is at an advantage this time.
- There is no such thing as an advantage.
Only the taste of the guest matters.
- Okay.
- His statement almost made me cry. I'm so impressed that I'm going to
make a heartwarming rice soup today. - Is it going to be a story-telling dish?
- Yes, a little bit.
- The first match seems really fierce.
Well, it's time to begin
the rice soup match.
Poong is still holding the lead.
Hyun-soo is on fire.
It's Kim Poong versus Yoo Hyun-soo.
If Hyun-soo wins today,
his winning streak will hit a record high.
He can share the record with Yeon-bok then.
Be quiet!
He's spoiling it.
If Hyun-soo wins this match,
he will share the lead with Poong.
- I think somebody has to stop him.
I'll help him
get back to his main job.
- He thinks it's time for him to go back.
- I'm going to help him physically and spiritually.
- It seems Hyun-soo's trying to win
by any means necessary.
- Are you talking about yourself?
- He's right.
- Something interesting just happened.
I think it represents the feelings of the chefs here.
The top just came off.
- Look at that.
Even the oil exploded in anger when he's talking.
- In fact, we don't like the words "Rice Soup"
in the world of variety shows.
You know what I mean, right?
It means someone who
drives shows to fail often.
So I'm not a fan of the expression.
Let's find out who's going to fail today.
Hyun-soo, what are you going to make today?
- It's Cucumber Kimchi & Simple Rice Soup. - Cucumber Kimchi & Simple Rice Soup.
- I found some cucumber in the fridge.
You all know what Cucumber Kimchi is, right?
We usually eat those
when eating some spicy soup, don't we?
So I'm going to make Cucumber Kimchi with it.
As for the rice soup, time is really limited.
But I'll do my best to make some spicy Korean Sausage Soup
with Korean Sausage and Pork Neck.
- Can you really make Cucumber Kimchi in 15 minutes?
- I'll try.
- It sounds really difficult.
- Right, it has to be salted
for a long time.
But he seems very confident.
- The title of my dish is Korean Sausage Soup With Mackerel.
- Korean Sausage Soup With Mackerel.
Korean Sausage Soup With Mackerel.
Are you going to use mackerel?
- Yes.
I'm going to make some special rice soup
with mackerel and Korean Sausage.
Since he likes Korean Sausage...
I'll show you some excellent unique dish
by mixing them with pork neck and brisket.
- Wow, but I think it will smell fishy.
Do you have any plan to get rid of the fishy smell?
- No need to worry.
I'm going to get rid of the fishy smell
by deep-frying it in hot oil.
- They're like scientists.
- I still can't imagine though.
- It's time to begin their cooking battle.
Poong is breaking the barriers between genres.
Hyun-soo aims to bring back Moon-sik's old memories.
It's Kim Poong versus Yoo Hyun-soo.
Let's see if Poong will be able to
maintain the lead.
The rice soup dish battle begins now.
Wow, it's so exciting.
- It's almost impossible to make Rice Soup in 15 minutes.
- Right.
- You usually have to boil it in a large pot as long as possible.
- I also wonder how he's going to get rid of the fishy smell of mackerel.
- He's deep-frying it right away.
- Listen to that sound.
Did you just put it in the water?
- Yes.
- In the boiling water?
- Yes.
- What kind of powder is that?
- What's that?
- It's perilla powder.
- Perilla powder.
- This helps get rid of the fishy smell.
- In Jeju, there is some rice soup made with mackerel and spring cabbage.
It's really good, and doesn't smell fishy at all.
- Oh, I see.
It's a local dish in Jeju Island.
It's really good.
- I'm making the broth
with chicken feet to make it fast.
- It's pretty common, isn't it?
- He just washed off the seasoning of the Chicken Feet.
Next, he's making the broth with
that and deep-fried pork neck.
- It's like a broth battle.
Let's see whose soup will have a richer taste.
Right, it's all about soup.
- He's using a lot of meat.
- Right, he really is.
- Look at that.
- He's feeling very confident about the soup. - Right.
- Are you using it?
It's mine.
Hey.
- What is he doing?
- He's using my stove.
- Mine doesn't work.
- But still, you need his permission.
That's quite rude.
- I'm too busy to make an issue of it.
- He just placed his pot on his stove.
- I feel like I should do something about this.
It's really bothering me.
- Right, we understand.
- Is this red pepper powder from Jeonju?
- I think so.
- It's really amazing.
Its sweet taste is incredible.
Your mother did dry and make
this red pepper powder, right?...
I can feel the warm heart of his mother.
I even feel guilty using this.
- He's stressing it.
Please note that.
- I'm pouring the broth.
- The broth.
- I think it's too much.
- Wait, why aren't you using the mackerel?
- I'm going to grind it.
- He's going to grind the mackerel.
But Moon-sik looks a bit worried. - I think it looks really delicious.
- No, it's just that the red pepper powder reminds me of my mother.
- I think he's touched.
The red pepper powder.
Great, a little bit more. - This red pepper powder is very special.
It's incomparable...
It's like gold powder.
- His mother made that red pepper powder
with all her heart for her son.
- I'm going to use this oil to make the broth faster.
I think it's also from his mother.
- Is that sesame oil? - You should oil the pot first.
- Look at him.
- He seems so calm and relaxed. - Right.
He's not flustered at all.
- It's unbelievable.
- Hyun-soo, you should have fun.
You seem too serious and scary.
It's just a cooking show. - I'm making the soup with
the vegetable and meat broth.
- It's brilliant.
- I'm cutting Korean Sausage.
- He's putting it in the soup.
- He's cooling off the salted cucumber in the ice water.
- He's making the filling.
Poong is also cutting Korean Sausage.
Let me go over there and check.
What's that?
- It's the seasoned red pepper sauce for the soup.
- It's the seasoned red pepper sauce. It's a must.
- What about you?
- The rice soup usually comes with some seasoned red pepper sauce,
doesn't it?
- He's almost done.
- Okay.
I'm almost done.
Let me taste Hyun-soo's soup first.
- I hope it has a rich taste.
- 1 minute and 30 seconds left.
- How do you like it?
- It's bland. - Oh my~.
- It's too bland, isn't it? - He's in trouble.
- Is it because of the sauce to be added later?
But still, I think it's too bland.
- He's adding salt.
- See.
I told you.
My goodness.
He's mixing the rice with the soup.
What about you?
He just added cucumber.
Why did you put the cucumber in the soup?
- It's Chinese-style soup.
The cucumber makes it taste more refreshing.
- Really?
Time is running out. 20 seconds left.
What are you doing?
It's old-fashioned.
- Old-fashioned.
It's so detailed.
No wonder he's a story-telling chef.
- Wow~. - They both are done.
- Poong.
You're supposed to serve your dish.
- Just like some rice soup place.
- Well, the rice soup dishes are ready now.
Let's see which dish will bring back his old memories.
You're getting tears already.
- I thought the match was over
the moment Poong mentioned my mother's red pepper powder.
But Hyun-soo's work was so detailed.
So I decided to make a choice based on the taste.
I think I should taste both to make a decision.
- Right, you never know.
- You should try it without the sauce first.
- Does he have to eat it with the sauce? - Just try it without the sauce first.
- He can try it without the sauce first
and then add the sauce.
- He's tasting it. Please feel free to add the spicy sauce if you want to.
- It's salted shrimp.
- He's adding salted shrimp.
- Right, it's a must.
- This happened a lot back then.
- My goodness.
He must've been really starving.
- I can't believe he made the spicy sauce himself.
It looks really delicious.
- There is rice in the soup.
- He's in a hurry.
- Were you reading other people's eyes like this in those days? - Yes.
- Moon-sik, hurry up.
You should hand out flyers.
- It's really hot.
- I'll eat it quickly.
- It looks really hot.
You should eat it with Cucumber Kimchi.
- It's alright. Take your time.
He's eating the hot pepper.
- Thank you. It's really good.
- You don't have to pay me
if you buy me
this rice soup every day.
It's really good.
- He's reenacting the moment. It's so sad.
- He's trying the Cucumber Kimchi.
He made that in 15 minutes.
- What on earth has my wife been cooking?
- I'm sure she will be startled.
- His wife keeps being attacked.
- I can't believe he really made this in 15 minutes.
- No wonder he's a true chef. - Of course, he is.
- I blanched it in the salt water first.
So it's a bit
soft outside.
- He's really enjoying it.
Let's make
the soup your appearance fee for today.
What do you think about that?
- Then, I should eat two bowls of this.
It's too little, right?
- I usually finished two bowls in those days.
- How do you like the Korean Sausage?
- I haven't tried it yet. It's still too hot.
- Right, it's extremely hot.
Be careful.
- He's finally tasting it.
- It must be really hot.
He's in pain.
- You should just spit it out.
- Here is a napkin.
- It's really good.
- It feels like we're watching his acting performance.
- I think I can sell my soul for this rice soup.
- Seriously?
- I'm sure I will never forget his name. Yoo Hyun-soo.
It's amazing.
- Could you let him use your spicy sauce?
- Sure, go ahead.
- Do you need the spicy sauce?
- Actually, it's not a bad idea.
- It's so funny. - Why don't you taste the soup first?
- Korean Sausage Soup With Mackerel.
- There is mackerel in the soup.
- I hope he got rid of the fishy smell.
It tastes fishy.
- There is mackerel in the soup.
- I hope he got rid of the fishy smell.
- It tastes fishy.
- I've never tried any rice soup made with mackerel before.
To be honest, I was a bit worried when he's using fish.
Since he's the top chef here, I expected something much better.
But his rice soup tastes too fishy.
It's too bad. He did a good job bringing up the red pepper powder.
He even made me cry.
- Why don't you try it with the seasoned red pepper sauce then?
- It could get rid of the fishy smell.
- He's using the spicy sauce this time. - Let's find out.
- He's tasting it with the sauce this time.
- It's still terrible.
- My goodness.
- It tastes too fishy.
- He's not even a fan of raw fish.
It seems he really doesn't like the fishy taste.
- Don't get me wrong. It's not like I have hard feelings toward you.
I really like your name.
- It's time for us to taste them.
Let's try Hyun-soo's rice soup first.
- Wow, the soup is amazing.
- It's really good.
- It's very delicious.
It tastes very clean.
The soup has such a rich taste.
It's amazing.
- It tastes like some soup that's cooked in the pot for long hours.
- I can't believe he did it in 15 minutes.
In the beginning, he added deep-fried pork neck
in the soup. It's so amazing that
the soup captured all the meat flavor.
His skill is exceptional.
- I must put this on the menu of my future Korean restaurant in Bulgaria.
- He loves it.
- And I would add Beef Tripe
in the soup.
I'm sure that will create some better texture.
- Do you think Bulgarians will enjoy this?
- I'm sure they will love it.
- Oh, I see.
- He understands the characteristics of ingredients very well.
He knows exactly what he's doing.
They both stir-fried green onion, but
his green onion melts in the mouth.
He's very smart.
- That's pretty much what I wanted to say.
But he's explaining it in great detail.
Thank you.
- Great.
Well, let's move on to Poong's dish.
Korean Sausage Soup With Mackerel.
- It's really good.
- It's not bad.
- It's not bad at all.
But it would've been better if he'd added
some mixed or plain soybean paste and soy sauce.
- You should eat it with the meat.
- Right, it doesn't taste fishy that way.
- He's trying it again.
- I like it.
- I love the taste of perilla powder.
- It's strange.
It's much better to eat it with the meat. The meat gets rid of the fishy smell.
- Is it because it's cooled down?
- He stir-fried both beef and pork.
It created such a strong taste. You can't even compare it to the taste of mackerel.
- It's really interesting.
- I'm really enjoying it. This is my second bowl.
I love the chewy texture of mushroom here.
It really suits my taste.
- To be honest, I think it doesn't taste fishy at all.
It's really savory.
I could feel the savory taste of perilla and then mackerel at the end.
I really loved it.
But it's my personal taste.
- Moon-sik seems a bit flustered.
- I'm so embarrassed. Where should I look?
My goodness.
The first one is Hyun-soo's dish, and the second one is Poong's dish.
Did you press a button?
- Yes, I did.
- He just pressed it.
Let's check out the result.
Please show it on the screen.
Is Poong going to maintain the lead?
Is Hyun-soo going to share the lead with him?
Let's see who's the winner.
Please show it on the screen.
Who's the winner?
Yoo Hyun-soo.
Hyun-soo won.
Yoo Hyun-soo.
- He won 5 matches in a row.
- It's amazing.
- I think I was too hasty
when making a judgment about Poong's dish.
But I was really impressed with
the taste of Hyun-soo's dish from the beginning.
The first taste of his dish was incomparable.
I'm really sorry.
I wish I could have
another chance...
- Don't worry about it.
Hyun-soo won 5 matches in a row.
So they're sharing the lead now.
Please tell us how you feel.
- I'm so glad that my dish brought back his old memories.
Thank you.
- It's such a great match.
I learned valuable lessons from the match.
- Hyun-soo just won the sixth star.
Congratulations.
- Where should I put this on?
- Wow, he's sharing the lead with Poong.
Let's move on to the second theme.
They both love Korean food.
It's Lee Won-il versus Mihal.
Do you think foreign people like the taste of raw rice wine?
- Yes.
There is Mr. Korean Champagne in Korea. He's really famous among foreign people.
- Korean Champagne.
- He's talking about Mr. Raw Rice Wine in the Hongik University area.
He's pulling a handcart, selling raw rice wine there every day.
- They just drink bottles of raw rice wine on the street.
- We heard you sleep on the street often after drinking raw rice wine.
Is it true or not?
- It's true.
- I guess it's not just some rumor.
- Today, I'm going to make
Fried Seaweed Roll & Green Onion Wraps.
- Fried Seaweed Roll & Green Onion Wraps.
- I'll show you that it's possible
to make a wrap dish with green onion.
First, I'm going to make
Fried Seaweed Roll with different ingredients.
Also, I'm going to make some special soybean paste sauce
with beef brisket. - Fried Seaweed Roll & Green Onion Wraps.
- The title of my dish is Mi-shik's Delicious Meatballs.
- What?
- Mi-shik's Delicious Meatballs.
His Korean name is Mi-shik.
- Min-shik?
- It's Mi-shik.
- In Bulgari, we usually eat meatballs
with egg and salad.
So...
Since Koreans love lettuce,
I'm going to use lettuce and cucumber today.
- It looks like Mihal is at a disadvantage today.
- I think it can be tough for a foreign chef to make a side dish for raw rice wine.
- That's why I bought this knife from Jeju Island.
- It's a kitchen knife, isn't it?
- It cost me $5.
- I hope it can be your lucky knife.
- Mi-shik...
- It's time to begin their
side dish battle.
Mihal's getting a mastery
of making Korean dishes.
Won-il aims to satisfy Moon-sik's taste.
It's Mihal versus Lee Won-il.
Who's going to be the winner today?
Their side dish battle begins now.
It's such a big match.
- The raw rice wine is very Korean, so
I'm really excited to see some
new and creative fusion dish
made by Mihal today.
- He's boiling the egg, and interestingly he's grilling hot peppers.
- Hot peppers? It's really interesting.
He's grinding something.
- Mihal is grinding beef and pork.
- Right, he's making meatballs.
- He's really good at handling the Korean knife.
- Excellent.
He bought it for $5 from Jeju Island.
He's like a Korean.
- Please help me with this.
Could you help me separate the stuffing from dumplings?
- Ho-young is helping him.
They look like brothers.
- Could you recommend
any good knives for cooking?
- What is she saying?
- She's asking me to recommend good kitchen knives.
- Sorry, but you should find a knife seller instead.
- They're making the knives look great...
- Right.
I don't think he's just
making some random Bulgarian dish.
- It's bread, isn't it?
- He's squeezing the water out of the bread.
What on earth is he doing?
- Oh my.
-It doesn't look good.
- Right...
- Since the bread has butter and egg inside already,
you can make a rich flavor by using it.
- He's mixing it to create meatballs.
- He added the bread and egg
to make it sticky.
- Does he have to throw it down like that?
- You can make it sticky that way...
- I know a lot, don't you think?
- Right.
I can tell you know a lot about cooking. - Yes, I do.
- He's making the roll.
Already.
I see seaweed and sesame leaf there.
- The sesame leaf smells really good.
- It's pretty common when making Seaweed Roll.
- I think it's too much for raw rice wine.
It's too fancy, isn't it?
- We invited you to treat those excellent dishes.
- Really?
- You should try some fancy side dishes for raw rice wine today.
- Mihal just started grilling the meatballs.
- He's grilling the meatballs.
- They look like Korean-style Meatballs...
- You're right.
- I think it will go well with raw rice wine.
- Right, it's very similar to some Korean food.
- They look exactly like Korean-style Meatballs.
- Is it raining outside?
I hope it's raining.
- Exactly.
- We can make it happen by applying special effects.
- You can even hear the sound of rain.
Did you use his mom's red pepper powder? - Yes, I did.
I'm also using his mom's soybean paste.
Great...
- It's also from Jeonju, right? - Yes, it is.
I'm putting it in the sauce here.
- My goodness.
- It looks really delicious.
- I think that will be the best side dish for raw rice wine ever.
- Jung-hwan is going over there to check.
He's tasting the special sauce.
How do you like it? - Well...
- Is it spicy?
- Wow, this is it.
- He thinks it's excellent.
- It's really good.
- Is it?
- It tastes like some spicy soybean paste sauce.
- Oh, I see...
- You know what I'm talking about, right?
- He's trying the meatball.
Let's see if it's cooked well.
How do you like the Bulgarian-style meatball?
- Wow!
- I think he should open some Korean traditional bar now.
- My goodness.
- It tastes like some
Korean-style pancake.
It's very similar.
- Right, it really is.
- He's mixing the grilled hot peppers with vinegar, olive oil, and salt.
- What's that?
- Just like pickles.
- It looks really interesting.
- Won-il is cutting the green onion
into equal pieces...
- It's green onion.
- That must be green onion wraps.
- I think we're supposed to eat it wrapped in the green onion.
- Mihal is working on the salad.
1 minute left. You should hurry up.
They're running out of time.
- He's placing the sauce on top.
- Right.
He's placing it on the top of the fried seaweed roll.
- Wow, look at that.
- Wow, it's such a perfect
side dish for raw rice wine.
- He's draining the green onion.
- 30 seconds left.
You have 30 seconds left.
30 seconds.
He's done.
Won-il just finished it.
Mihal.
He's still thinking.
Mihal, what are you thinking about?
What are you thinking about?
- I'm thinking of placing something else...
- He's thinking of placing something else.
10 seconds left.
8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
He's done.
It's done.
The side dishes for raw rice wine are ready.
- I should stir it like this first. - You're right.
- With a finger.
- But how should I eat this?
Could you explain it?...
- You should open the green onion
with your chopstick like this first.
Then, you can enjoy different ingredients wrapped in the green onion.
It's much better than raw garlic.
It has such an excellent flavor.
- Green onion wraps.
- Let me drink this first.
- Sure, go ahead.
- You did such a good job today.
- I did a lot of work today.
- Right.
At one gulp...

- No, the fried seaweed roll covers its spiciness.
What's this? Small octopus?
- I made the soybean paste sauce with beef brisket.
- It sounds really savory and delicious.
- It's really good.
I don't even need rice.
It's such a perfect side dish for raw rice wine.
I think it can be a great meal as well.
Excellent.
- Is it perfect?
- Yes, it's perfect.
- You should eat the meatball with the egg and salad.
There's a lot of cucumber in the salad.
- It looks really delicious.
- But it has to go well with raw rice wine first.
- You should eat it with your hand.
There you go. Like that.
- What about the hot pepper?
- I'm really curious about the taste.
- I grilled the hot pepper.
The hot pepper...
- He seems really doubtful.
- I think he's never experienced
that taste before. - Right, I'm a bit afraid.
It's really spicy.
- But it's grilled.
- It's still extremely hot.
- My goodness...
- These hot peppers are from your fridge.
- My goodness.
- They're from your fridge.
- He's not a fan of vegetables.
- Look at his face.
- He looks like some Korean student
who's visiting Bulgaria for the first time.
- He's like a Working Holiday student
eating meals after working hard
in some Bulgarian farm.
He's missing Korea.
- You should open your mind.
Don't be afraid.
It's very similar to Korean food.
- It's good.
- It's alright.
It's so unfamiliar. That's all.
I'm just not used to it.
- I think you should consider
your wife's taste.
- That dish didn't remind me of my wife at all.
But I'm sure my wife will love this one.
I love her so much.
- I think he's thinking about his wife.
- The dishes remind me of both my wife and mother.
- Well, it's time for us to taste them.
Let's try Won-il's dish first.
- Like this.
- Wow, it's really interesting.
- It's very new.
- Do you think it goes well with raw rice wine?
- I'm about to try it.
- Okay, please go ahead.
- Wow, it's really good.
- Is it?
- I can't handle raw green onion, but
it's still really good without it.
The Fried Seaweed Roll goes really well with raw rice wine.
- I think you should put this on your menu.
- I didn't know we could eat green onion this way.
It's not too spicy but really fresh.
It's such a brilliant idea. - It's really good, isn't it?
- The mixed soybean paste successfully covers the greasiness of fried food.
I love the green onion's fresh taste and texture.
I really enjoyed it.
The combination of fried food, green onion,
and mixed soybean paste was perfect. - Like Three Delicacies.
- Right.
- Okay, great. Let's move on to Mihal's dish.
These are Bulgarian-style meatballs, right?
- I love it.
I think the salad is really good. - Right, it's amazing.
- It's really delicious.
There must be a generation gap between us.
- We're in the same age group.
What are you talking about?
- I was born in the 70's.
- Right, it starts with 7.
- I know nothing about the spring austerity.
- What are you saying? The spring austerity?
- We're the generation of Saemaeul Movement.
I really loved the salad.
But the pepper is really hot.
- Right.
- I've told you repeatedly.
- It's so hot that
my throat is burning.
- Really? Is it that spicy?
- I think it's random. Some are not that spicy.
- It's not too spicy for me.
- Right, it didn't taste that spicy.
- I must've picked the wrong one...
- It's pretty much like Korean food.
These are very similar to Korean-style Meatballs and Fresh Kimchi.
- He's right.
- The salad would've tasted just like Fresh Kimchi,
if he'd added some red pepper powder.
- Well, it's time to make a choice.
- Let me ask you a question first.
How should I make a choice here?
Should I choose the better side dish for raw rice wine
or the dish that my wife would love?
It's not clear.
- It doesn't really matter.
- It's up to you.
- Just choose as you please.
The first one is Won-il's dish, and the second one is Mihal's dish.
- Oh my.
- It's such a difficult choice.
Let's find out. - I can't wait.
- "Hey, Give Me A Bowl of Raw Rice Wine".
Let's check out the result.
Please show it on the screen.
Who's the winner?
- Who's the winner?
- I think he hit the wrong button...
- Did he press the wrong button?
- I pressed it right.
- I've been thinking in the wrong way.
- Excuse me?
- I realized it's been
all about me.
But I chose the dish
that suits my wife's taste this time.
- Oh, I see.
- She's been always considerate of my taste.
I think I should care about her taste more from now on.
So I have no regret.
I love you, darling.
Where should I look?...
- Here.
Won-il's stuck by lightning all of a sudden.
He thought he's winning.
- I'm really sorry.
- It's alright.
- I was really impressed by the taste.
- Right, it's excellent.
- But we all understand. Don't worry.
Please tell us how you feel.
Mihal.
- I love you, Moon-sik.
Thank you.
- Okay, great.
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
It's really good.
I should eat these dishes.
It's so good.
This one is the best.
Excuse me.
Did you dress up as a woman?
- Hello, I'm a new bride Song Eun-yi.
I'm so nervous.
