(Two Days and One Night)
(One morning,)
(at a village in the Gangwon Province)
(that's covered by a layer of winter frost...)
It's minus 15 degrees Celsius.
Pyeongchang sure is different.
This is how the Gangwon Province is.
This is how our show should be.
Junho, you're here.
What's that on your head?
(Roar!)
It's a hat.
Let's go.
(You look cute.)
It feels like it's been a while since we filmed.
I know, right?
It's our first shoot of 2019.
- That's right. / - Yes, the very first.
- It's cold. / - Are you feeling better?
- About what? / - Not winning an award.
You were upset about it.
Yes, I'm fine.
Hi, guys.
- Do you have gloves on? / - He's still upset.
- Yes, he's upset. / - That's not the case.
- It's about the award. / - Are you still on that?
- Hello. / - Hello!
- Hello, everyone. / - Hi.
- Happy New Year. / - Happy New Year.
- It's our first shoot. / - Yes, the first one.
Happy New Year.
Hold on. Where's our intern?
(Interns are busy, too, sometimes.)
(See you next time!)
- I sort of miss him. / - Isn't he here?
They both won awards at the Drama Awards.
The Top Excellence...
The Top Excellence Award.
They won awards for their acting.
(Respect their acting)
I came up with a catchphrase for 2019.
(Out of the blue?)
"Yes, it's possible."
(Junho's catchphrase for 2019)
It sounds familiar.
- It sounds positive. / - I'm staying positive.
It sounds similar to "Can you believe it?"
(An infinitely positive mind)
We are in Bongpyeong, Gangwon Province,
at the birthplace of writer Lee Hyoseok.
Really?
Is this his birthplace?
(A small, quiet, and tranquil hanok)
(Traces of Lee Hyoseok still remain.)
(Writer Lee Hyoseok)
Lee Hyoseok brought glory to the nation
with his pure literature in the 1930s.
"When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom".
He beautifully describes
the buckwheat fields in his hometown of Bongpyeong.
I've never heard of this book before.
- Right? / - Hold on.
- What is it again? / - "The hillside"
"is covered with buckwheat fields."
"Their flowers that bloom are like sprinkled salt,"
"and I lost my breath"
"under the satisfying moonlight."
("When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom")
- What? / - What was that again?
- He lost his breath? / - What?
"I lost my breath."
- What about it? / - What comes after?
He's talking about the hillside.
The hillside of the mountain
was covered with buckwheat fields,
and their flowers were white like salt.
- The flowers? / - Yes.
I've only had buckwheat noodles before.
It's not like I've ever seen the fields.
Defconn, will it kill you to read?
The Gangwon Province is known
for buckwheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes,
and even corn.
That's why so many noodle dishes
have been developed here.
So the theme of this week's episode
is the Gangwon Noodle Trip.
(Gangwon Noodle Trip)
Is the area known for its noodle dishes?
(We traveled to find out!)
Hello, ma'am.
Goodness. Hello.
Hello.
You must have had a difficult journey in this cold.
- Hello. / - Hello.
I'm a traditional local food researcher, Kwon Yeongwon.
(Kwon Yeongwon, Traditional Local Food Researcher)
(She made an appearance in the cartoon "Sikgaek".)
When one thinks of the Gangwon Province,
the mountains come to mind first.
The produce cultivated here
are potatoes, corn, and buckwheat.
Potato ongsimi, makguksu,
and even tadpole noodles.
Noodle dishes such as these
were mostly made and developed here.
Since the region is close to the sea and the mountains,
coastal areas were known
for its seafood noodle dishes.
I believe that
they're now all special dishes of the region.
This Gangwon Noodle Trip
is not about finding a noodle dish.
You'll be developing a noodle dish tour package.
While eating the noodle dishes,
it'd be nice if you could introduce nearby attractions
and share the story behind the dish.
While eating them?
- While eating? / - But I already ate.
Did you have breakfast this morning?
- Ramyeon, probably. / - Yes, I had ramyeon.
- Yes, it's possible. / - Yes, it's possible.
- Right? / - Yes, it's possible.
(Jongmin, the noodle lover)
Noodle dishes can be split into two categories.
- Hot noodles. / - Those are great.
- And cold noodles. / - They're all incredible.
- Cold noodles for winter. / - But it's too cold.
- Hot noodles are the best right now. / - That's right.
One team will research hot noodles
and the other will research cold noodles.
- What? / - Split into two teams.
- I want to be on Jongmin's team. / - Me, too.
- Right? / - Get over here.
- Siyoon and I will be team leaders. / - Go ahead.
Rock-paper-scissors.
(Jongmin, come on!)
(He's flustered by the surge in his popularity.)
- Come on over. / - I don't want to!
- It's been decided. / - He's mean.
- I already chose you. / - Rock-paper-scissors.
(Defconn wins again.)
(Defconn and Joonyoung join forces!)
This is insane.
- No way. / - Whatever.
I can't believe this.
- He must've cried a lot. / - It'll all go by.
You look like a rabbit.
Now that we have our two teams,
we'll decide who'll take which type of noodle.
- Hot noodles are better. / - Come on out.
Which do you want?
- Hot noodles. / - So something warm.
- I see. / - I want the cold dish.
Gosh, what's this?
It's buckwheat noodles made with Bongpyeong buckwheat.
The team that picks the longer strand gets to choose.
- One will step forward. / - It's Jongmin for us.
- He's a noodle-lover. / - Siyoon, you're up.
- We'll test your luck for 2019. / - Will you do it?
- Siyoon. / - Choose one.
- Normally... / - You have one chance.
- What are you doing? / - What is it?
All right.
- Is it one or two? / - One strand.
- Now lift up. Up. / - Jongmin.
- Just lift it up. / - In 2019...
- Siyoon. / - It snapped.
- Come on. / - I just lost my grip.
Siyoon, don't lift it all the way up yet.
- All right. / - Wait for it.
- Jongmin. / - Lower it down.
- Lower it down. / - Don't show it yet.
- Good. / - That's it.
- Okay. / - Nice!
(Snap)
- All right. / - Good.
- Lay it out. / - Okay, go ahead.
- Darn. / - Did we win?
(Jongmin wins!)
- I did my best. / - Okay.
- Gosh. / - We choose cold noodles.
- We choose cold noodles. / - What? Really?
(He's seriously upset.)
Wait, did they choose cold noodles?
- Are you upset? / - But I'm the one...
- I wanted a warm dish. / - Cold noodles are better.
Defconn gives off a lot of heat.
Each team has chosen either hot or cold noodles.
Later this evening,
you will get together for a tour package presentation
which will be judged by experts.
The winning team will sleep indoors
and the losing team will sleep outdoors
as well as take the first dive of this year.
- What? / - That's too harsh.
- That's too harsh. / - Are you insane?
- A dive? / - You should've told us.
I can't believe they're making us do this.
The temperature is minus 15 degrees Celsius.
We'll freeze in the water.
(The winter sea)
(Taking a dive)
(are these beautiful members.)
(Gosh, I hate this.)
Since this is a product you will be developing,
you must get permission for the shoot.
- Do we have to find the dishes? / - Yes.
Then, see you in Gangneung later.
- Right. / - Do we have to drive too?
- Yes. / - Thanks in advance.
- We need to focus on the search. / - Fine.
Both teams will head out now.
(Team Cold Noodles, Team Hot Noodles)
How are we supposed to take a dive in this cold?
It's insane.
- We have to win. / - To empty your stomachs,
we'll give you yogurt drinks.
Empty our stomachs?
- This is out of the blue. / - Go ahead.
Drink it all or share with the staff.
(What is this?)
What do you think is going on?
He's drinking two while I'm being suspicious.
I can't believe him.
- Happy New Year. / - Thank you.
I'm in a generous mood today. Happy New Year.
You'll be eating a lot today.
I'm not sure about this.
You can share with the staff too.
(He takes two and drinks up.)
Here you go.
The staff is never this generous.
What's this?
(Why are they giving this to us?)
We need to decide on a location.
We can easily search online for restaurants.
You want to copy other people's ideas?
Yes.
Finding a hidden gem will give you an edge.
We can search the words "hidden gem".
(Junho has a simple mind.)
- That's the search word? / - Yes.
- "Yes, it's possible." / - "Yes, it's possible."
That's right.
Finding an unknown but delicious restaurant is hard.
A friend of mine owns a makguksu restaurant.
Really? Then let's go there.
- But it's makguksu. / - There will be other dishes.
We can go there and get some hints for our next move.
- Your friend will know. / - He might know
some restaurants that are famous for hot noodles.
- Taehyun? / - Hi, Euijin.
- Yes? / - Two Days and One Night
is filming in Pyeongchang today.
- Two Days and One Night? / - Yes.
What time do you open your restaurant?
At 10 a.m.
He opens up quite early.
We're on our way, so meet us there.
- All right. / - This is unbelievable.
I didn't know you had a friend who lived here.
- Right. / - I searched online and
there's something called a ggolduguksu.
Ggolduguksu? I like how it sounds.
Ggolduguksu. What is it made from?
Yes, ggolduguksu. Let me see.
They eat this dish for at least one meal of the day.
It's a dish the people eat often.
The name came about because we're sick and tired of it.
It's called ggolduguksu because they're sick of it.
Right.
They ate it during the years of poverty,
so now they're sick and tired of it.
We're off to see
Taehyun's friend who lives in Bongpyeong.
If we film our way there,
we can use the video for our presentation.
If we add some background music,
we can convey the warmth of the hot noodles.
Being on your team is reassuring, Siyoon.
- This is it. / - Here we go.
I'll get out first.
- It was close by. / - It's cold today.
Taehyun knows someone in Bongpyeong.
We're here to get some pointers.
It's just that we don't know the neighborhood.
It's always good to know many people.
- Hello. / - Hello.
How long have you run this restaurant for?
- About 30 years. / - 30 years?
(She's a local of 30 years.)
- My gosh. / - The restaurant
serves a winter special dish.
The winter special is bean paste kalguksu.
(The restaurant serves a winter special.)
I want bean paste kalguksu.
I think we should decide on a menu quickly.
Yes, we need to try all of them too.
Euijin, have a seat.
- He's Jung Euijin. / - Right.
- Hello. / - Hi.
Are you the son of the owner?
Yes, I'm the son.
What did you do last night?
I had a few drinks.
It seems like you had quite a lot.
Couldn't you have applied some moisturizer?
I had no idea you'd come like this.
His skin couldn't be drier.
Maybe you should apply some perilla oil.
Why not sprinkle some broth on your face?
So what is bean paste kalguksu?
It's a spicy dish
made with gochujang and buckwheat noodles,
hence the name bean paste kalguksu.
- I see. / - Then let's try it.
- Bean paste kalguksu. / - So three bowls.
He should have a bowl too.
One for the owner as well.
Four bowls of bean paste kalguksu
and one buckwheat crepe.
What about some boiled pork slices?
It's on the menu.
We'll get you some buckwheat crepe, boiled pork slices,
and four bowls of bean paste kalguksu if...
- What? / - What?
You can only eat if you pass the mission.
- I knew it. / - Of course.
How can we introduce the dish if we don't eat it?
If you fail, you get a chance to eat one bite.
- One bite each? / - Are you kidding me?
So here's your first mission.
(The first mission of the Noodle Trip)
Wait, that's what we had earlier.
I knew it. There's a reason for everything.
Blow on the party horn with your nose
and knock down all 10 of these bottles in 15 seconds
- to win. / - All right.
- Me, too. / - Let's test it out.
- I'm really bad at this. / - Euijin, you too.
Me, too?
I think you'll be really good at this.
- You might do great. / - Yes, I agree.
(Blowing)
I think I'm quite good at this.
Look. Wasn't that impressive?
Try it with this.
My nose is too runny, though.
Can't we each get one instead?
This is really dirty.
(He cleans out his nose.)
Why on earth are you practicing?
(Euijin's been practicing quietly.)
You don't need to practice!
Out of the four of you, the one who's best...
Give it a try.
(There's nothing to see.)
It's not easy.
- I can do it. / - Really?
(The lion's mighty nose-blowing)
So who'll do it?
- I'm confident. / - Okay.
It's been a while since Junho...
I blocked any gaps with the tissue.
- You can do this. / - I know I can.
I'm confident.
(The master of cheating and trickery)
Let's win the first game of 2019.
- Hold on. / - I'm ready.
Ready, set, go.
(Swooshing)
(Only weak swooshing sounds can be heard.)
- Just look at this. / - Hold on.
- Time out. / - Look at him!
- Time out. / - I can't believe him.
I mean... I'm so dizzy right now.
(He's worn out from all the practicing.)
My head is spinning.
(He feels bad.)
Where's the nearest doctor?
- I'll call one over. / - My head is spinning.
11 seconds have passed.
If you're going to switch players, do it now.
Give us another chance. Can't you see that I'm sick?
Aren't you even a little bit concerned?
It's not over. You have four seconds left.
How can you do this in four seconds?
- Give it a try. / - Be a man
- At least try it. / - and give us an extra second.
- One more second. / - Give us an extra second.
Fine, I'll give you five seconds.
- Five seconds. / - You have five seconds.
(An unexpected party tune)
Why is it making a sound?
- You're not farting, right? / - You can do this!
- Ready, set... / - Hold on.
Blow the bottom.
Victory!
Can you believe it?
He didn't set rules on how to play it.
Am I right?
- No. / - He didn't say anything.
I told you that you have to hit it one by one.
Let's do it again.
You said we could use this.
You didn't say anything about hitting it one by one.
Let Junho try it again.
We should all try it again.
It's our chance now, Junho.
You said you know how to scuba-dive, right?
Do you have the oxygen mask in your car? I need oxygen.
(Dizzy)
Let's keep going.
The bean paste kalguksu is getting soggy.
- You have to do well this time, Junho. / - I got it.
Start.
(Blowing)
(He's trying so hard.)
Wait. Look at this.
What is this?
It's not working.
It's okay. You can try it again.
Use this.
- Use this one. / - It's disgusting.
Let me do it again.
This is broken!
You broke it with your nose, Junho.
- Hurry up. / - Four seconds have passed.
Only four seconds have passed. You can do it.
- Wait. / - Get ready.
Let's continue. Start.
Goodness.
(No way.)
Did he just hit them all?
One.
He did it!
No, he failed.
(He worked so hard at the end.)
(But the time was over.)
He did it!
(He didn't make it.)
Who didn't finish this?
Somebody didn't finish this bottle.
It's like a stone. It's so heavy!
It won't fall even if I hit it with my finger.
This is like a stone.
It was so close, but you didn't make it.
There's still a chance for you to have one bite.
It should have fallen.
He did so well.
- Yes. / - May I come in?
(Here's the bean paste kalguksu.)
So this is how it looks.
(They can't take their eyes off the kalguksu.)
- This looks good. / - My goodness.
(Hot noodles No. 1)
(It's hot and spicy.)
(Bean paste kalguksu)
Bean paste kalguksu is made of dried pollack,
anchovies, kelp, and radish.
Bring them all to boil,
and then boil again with the bean paste
to make the broth for bean paste kalguksu.
Eating it hot
will make you sweat all over.
You don't need any other stamina food
in the cold Gangwon Province.
(Slices of boiled meat go well with the noodles.)
(Buckwheat crepe is one of the best local foods.)
(Siyoon is making the promotional material.)
It's still steaming. Why don't you shoot a video?
- A video? / - Yes, it's steaming.
(It looks so good up-close.)
(Amazed)
(Let's have a bite.)
(They can't eat it because they failed the mission.)
Let me pose too.
(Bitter smiles)
Lift it with the noodles.
You're right.
This is the first stop.
Moreover, Junho worked so hard that he got dizzy.
- Please let us eat. / - We prepared these two dishes
that go well with the bean paste kalguksu.
(Rock-paper-scissors to choose who will eat)
Join us.
Should I join too?
(The owner gets to experience a lot.)
Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors.
(We can't believe this.)
My goodness. How is this possible?
(He's the one who can have a bite.)
Wait a second.
Why is he sitting here?
Don't they introduce themselves and leave?
Please try one bite and describe the taste.
- All right. / - He has to eat
his own food and tell us how it tastes.
Don't you eat it every day?
You have it every day.
(He sits in the center.)
I thought he would play rock.
- I know. I feel pressured. / - No, it's fine.
It's okay if you eat it.
- Is that the right way to eat it? / - Yes.
You have to wrap the crepe with the noodles.
- The crepe with the noodles? / - Yes.
The kalguksu is a bit spicy.
Try it.
- Do I have to eat a lot? / - Yes.
- Have a big bite. / - Try it.
(Why is he eating this?)
(You can tell how chewy it is from the sound.)
How does it taste with the crepe?
(Gosh.)
How is it? He must be thinking a lot now.
Well, I don't know how to describe it.
(Awkward)
He has to describe it well.
But he had it yesterday too.
You had this yesterday.
Is the taste different from yesterday?
It's like home food
made by my parents.
They are your parents.
(It's your mom who made this.)
There she is.
Your mom's the owner of this restaurant.
She looks exactly like him.
- It tastes of home. / - They were cooked by your mom.
Homemade food is hard to make in a restaurant.
He's her son after all.
Actually, my grandmother came up with
the recipe for the bean paste kalguksu.
So my grandmother made it for us
- every winter. / - I see.
In order to describe the taste,
I'll let you have one spoonful of the soup.
Let me try.
This is the soup.
(Nervous)
I really want to know what the noodles taste like.
It's a taste that can cure a cold.
Junho, stop eating!
What?
Go away!
I'm only going to have the noodles.
He's going to have the noodles.
It's because I'm dizzy.
I'll only have the soup.
We initially came here
to ask you which restaurants are good.
- That's why we came here. / - We had to ask a local.
Can you recommend us any place with a hot dish?
- There's a place that sells ongsimi. / - Ongsimi?
- What's ongsimi? / - It originates from Gangwon.
They're like balls. You make the noodles into balls.
- Noodles balls? / - That sounds nice.
Ongsimi.
Where should we go to have ongsimi?
I should search now.
Do you have to search it too?
What's the point of asking you, then?
He came here to have hangover soup.
He's here to have hangover soup.
He finished everything.
(He looks livelier now than when he first appeared.)
(The leftover noodles are finished by)
(the international referee and the staff.)
- So we're at Bongpyeong. / - Yes.
(Defconn's thinking of food in the Gangwon Province.)
(Gangwon? Cold noodles?)
Do we have to go now?
Makguksu is cold too.
- Yes, it's cold. / - Let's go for it.
Makguksu is well-known here.
(Makguksu is famous in the Gangwon Province.)
Makguksu refers to the term "just made".
Makguksu is freshly made noodles
that get served right away, hence the name.
Since buckwheat grows well in tough conditions,
many people grow it here,
making buckwheat a common ingredient.
It is served with different garnishes in each region.
In the inland areas,
they put beef tartare and chicken on top.
Let me see. I found the best buckwheat dish.
- It looks so delicious. / - Look.
(It looks really good.)
This is it. We need to eat it with the noodles.
Let's go to this place!
- We should go here. / - Okay. Let's go.
- Let's go! / - This is the place.
Let me call them first.
Tell them we will film quickly in the corner.
- Please hold. / - Is it open now?
- You are right. / - It's too early.
- Hello. / - She picked up.
Hello. We're from Two Days and One Night.
- Tell her. / - We are looking for
a nice makguksu restaurant.
May we film at your restaurant?
- When? / - We are on our way now.
I see.
(Is she going to say no?)
(Please...)
You can come.
- Thank you. / - Okay.
She can explain about the food for us too.
It's just 1km away.
(Gangwon Province)
(Lee Hyoseok's Birthplace)
(Makguksu Restaurant)
Let's go.
- 1km? / - Yes. It's 1.7km.
- It's that close? / - Yes.
There's another makguksu restaurant.
There are many restaurants.
I want the owners to explain about the food.
- Their pride... / - We can film that too.
Yes, something like that.
- The owner's pride is really important. / - Of course.
Look. The river's frozen.
It's minus 15 degrees Celsius.
It's completely frozen. We can't get in the water.
We don't have to get in.
We can break it, Jongmin.
It's simple.
(Team Cold Noodles reaches their first restaurant.)
Call us after you get their permission.
Hello.
- This feels like an event. / - Hello.
- Nice to meet you. / - Hello. It's cold.
May we film
- inside your restaurant? / - Come in.
Will it be okay?
- She's okay with it. / - Come in.
Come in. She's fine with us filming.
Come in.
(They are at their first cold noodle restaurant.)
We can sit here.
Look!
There's beef tartare makguksu too.
My goodness!
(They are at the right place.)
Please give us
one beef tartare makguksu
and one cold makguksu.
One cold makguksu...
You can have
- beef tartare bibimbap later. / - We can't yet.
- I'll make your noodles. / - We can't eat it.
(I want to eat soon.)
You found the first tasty restaurant,
but we can't let you have it for free.
- Pardon? / - Clear the mission first.
How can we explain the taste if we can't eat it?
If you fail,
one of you may eat one bite.
Eat one bite of such gourmet food?
Clear the mission.
I knew they wouldn't let us eat for free.
Okay, it's all right.
The first mission is "Nose Super Strength".
- "Nose Super Strength"? / - Yes.
Do you remember the yogurt you drank earlier?
(The yogurt that we drank?)
(They gave out yogurt before departing.)
(Something was strange.)
- Is something going on? / - Why so many?
You will blow a party horn with your nose
and make 10 bottles fall in 15 seconds to succeed.
- What's a party horn? / - Yes, what's a party horn?
(This is it.)
- Some aren't finished. / - There are leftovers.
What's going on?
Some of them are full. How can we make them fall?
(This is a new bottle.)
I told you to drink it all.
Who didn't drink it?
(Someone didn't drink his.)
What's going on? That's unexpected.
(Joonyoung finished his.)
(Defconn finished his as well.)
We have to do it.
Jongmin, drink this and stay energized.
I don't want to drink it.
- I don't want to drink. / - It's for free.
- I'm not drinking it. / - Why not?
Why should I drink it? I'm not drinking it.
- It's delicious. / - He doesn't want it.
(He pretends not to know.)
Where is it?
No.
What's that?
(Appalled)
Some booger came out.
It came out.
It fell out from his nose.
(Shuddering)
It's just a small booger.
(It's disgusting.)
Get ready.
- Start. / - Go.
(What?)
(It's only been five seconds.)
(We can clear the mission.)
(Maybe not.)
(You're so heartless.)
(The sound of his blowing is pitiful.)
(What can I say?)
There's still time. There's still time.
(Where did it go wrong and how?)
Do it at the front.
(The time already has passed.)
(Why did I say that I won't drink it?)
- It's over. / - No, we still have time.
(He blows it with all his might.)
We have time. Okay!
(His nose strength was pathetic.)
- Your record is / - What was the time?
- 30.7 seconds. / - I told you.
I don't think the other team cleared it either.
(Bingo!)
- Time out. / - It won't work.
(Impressed)
Is that the meal?
Is that how it's served?
That looks amazing. We should have won.
(The makguksu is served.)
(Special noodles made with Korean buckwheat)
(Topped with a secret sauce and special toppings)
(Buckwheat sprouts are the finishing touch.)
(A special dish with a pile of ingredients)
(Seasoned Korean beef tartare)
(and buckwheat sprouts)
(Buckwheat sprout seasoned beef tartare bibim guksu)
- I should take a photo. / - Look at that.
- Here's your gourmet food. / - It's gourmet indeed.
- I'm going to eat it. / - Please enjoy.
My goodness.
How could they make us do a mission for this?
Buckwheat noodles that are eaten cold even in winter.
(Winter special cold buckwheat noodles)
This is buckwheat sprout
cold noodles.
It's topped with beef tartare.
I can't believe we can only eat a bit of it.
How do we eat it?
We have to take a bite of each.
- Right. / - We have to.
Do we only get one bite?
Defconn, who's the one person?
- Rock-paper-scissors? / - What?
Let's pick a noodle strand.
How about picking a sprout?
- It's buckwheat sprouts. / - With sprouts?
Let's compare the length of the sprouts.
- Sprout length. Pick a sprout. / - Okay.
I don't know which one is long because they're mixed.
They're tangled together.
- Three, / - Wait for me.
- two, one. / - Two, one.
- Pick one. / - Pick one.
Hold it up for now.
(It's quite long.)
It's long.
Would this be considered long, ma'am?
- It's a bit long. / - That means it's very long.
(Relieved and being annoying)
The one with the shortest can't eat anything.
Go, Joonyoung.
He picked one.
One, two, three.
(What?)
(Their length is similar.)
- We don't know yet. / - Don't compare yet.
It's long. Goodness.
We don't know who will win.
- I think it's long. / - You never know.
It's so short.
(Defconn's on the left, Joonyoung's on the right)
(Joonyoung's sprout is longer than Defconn's.)
It's mine.
(He still has hope.)
This is Defconn's.
(He wins if it's longer than Jongmin's.)
(The game is over.)
- Okay, let's go. / - In that case,
Jongmin and Joonyoung get a bite each.
I don't get to each such delicious food.
It looks so delicious.
We should show how it looks.
Look at this.
- It looks amazing. / - This is the best.
It's incredible.
I'll show you how I eat it all in one bite.
- You only get one bite. / - I know.
It's fine as long as the noodles don't break.
Go, Jongmin.
Is that one bite?
- Yes. / - Can you eat that?
(It's as big as a fist.)
Don't push yourself too much.
I'm not.
Seriously.
Can you eat that?
(Watch my technique.)
Here I go.
(It goes into his mouth.)
Don't cut it. You have to eat it all.
The noodles are chewy.
(Jongmin loves noodles after all.)
He won't swallow it.
That looks delicious.
Describe the taste.
What is it?
(It's torture watching him.)
It's so savory.
(Of course.)
(Is that all?)
"It's so savory."
(It's actually the best description he can offer.)
Joonyoung, eat it with gusto.
It's gourmet cold buckwheat noodles.
I'll start here.
(He pulls it up high with some toppings.)
- In the beginning... / - Enjoy it.
The beginning is the best.
(The sound is torture.)
That's right.
It's different from other noodles.
You must eat noodles with the broth.
You must eat some broth with the noodles.
How is it?
Doesn't it taste healthy?
- It's delicious. / - Isn't it?
There's no need for words.
- It's delicious. / - It's my first time.
It's unique. I ate some with cucumber.
The cucumber is crunchy.
(Crunchy toppings and chewy noodles)
The broth is very delicious.
The broth?
Take a bite of the noodles.
While you still have food inside your mouth,
have some broth with it.
It tastes complete.
(His patience reaches its limit.)
(Let me at least smell it.)
Try some broth.
You can eat it with this.
- Eat some. / - The one next to the bibim guksu.
- Let him have some. / - Okay.
We'll let you try some.
I only had some broth.
- Take a sip. / - Eat it in one go.
(He sips the broth that determines all tastes.)
(He spits it out.)
(His plan is a success.)
You put a lot of vinegar in it.
(He put as much vinegar as his love for him.)
(It makes her laugh.)
It's vinegar made with buckwheat.
(It's a healthy taste.)
I feel healthy.
Does this make you happy?
We can't waste any food.
We'll finish the food.
(Devouring)
It's such good quality.
(He watches them eat.)
Right? Isn't the quality amazing?
(He tries not to think about the makguksu.)
We have to pick a region.
(Where do we go next?)
(Joonyoung is searching.)
What do you think of chogye noodles?
- Chogye noodles are good. / - Right?
Search chogye noodles.
Chogye.
- Hello? / - Hello.
(He makes a reservation.)
Hello, I'm Defconn from Two Days and One Night.
- I see. / - It's nice to meet you.
We'd like to eat some chogye noodles.
May we film there?
Yes.
- Is it possible? / - We are in Bongpyeong.
We'll leave right away.
- Okay. / - Thank you.
- Thank you. / - Thank you.
(They depart to eat chogye noodles.)
Let's go.
- Let's go. / - Let's go.
(The night deepens)
(He sings in excitement.)
What's wrong with my tone?
Why are you singing a sad song?
(I'm a singer!)
(Here's a song.)
- I've heard that before. / - Seo Taiji.
Isn't it "I Know"?
I haven't heard it in a while.
We need to digest. We should enjoy the ride.
All right.
(I know!)
♪ When this night passes ♪
(Dancing)
(Cheerful Fool mode is on.)
(Joonyoung is entertained by them.)
(Defconn and Jongmin are super excited.)
(Joonyoung is singing along.)
(What was I doing then?)
(That smile was so beautiful)
Look at the camera, everybody.
(Please don't go)
(Are you really leaving?)
(Please don't go)
♪ Every night ♪
(I'm crying)
(Defconn and Boys will soon make their debut.)
- I think this is it. / - We're here!
(They arrive at their destination.)
This is it.
I'll go in and ask for permission.
(Defconn asks if it's okay to film.)
Hello.
- Hello. / - Hello.
- I called you earlier. / - Yes.
- Could I try some chogye noodles? / - Yes.
There is a lot of broadcasting staff.
- Can they come in? Thank you. / - Yes.
We have their permission.
We can go in.
Please come in.
- Where should I sit? / - Go in, please.
(The staff enters the restaurant too.)
We'll have a talk with the owner. Sir?
- Hello. / - Hello.
- He's young. / - He is.
We are on a noodle trip.
Do your chogye noodles have
a history or something? Please tell us about it.
We follow the traditional cooking method,
and make the chicken stock here.
My mother and I make fruit dongchimi ourselves.
(Delicious homemade fruit dongchimi)
Is that your mother?
Hello, ma'am.
So your mother makes the dongchimi.
- She makes the dongchimi. / - Yes.
It must be delicious.
After hearing that your mother makes the broth,
I know I can trust your noodles.
Most cold noodle restaurants usually buy the broth
- from certain places. / - Yes.
- But you make your own broth. / - Yes, 100 percent.
- Do you tear the chicken? / - Yes, we do.
What size chicken do you use?
What size chicken?
We use size 12 chicken.
They use size 12.
- Size 12. / - Goodness.
Yes. The size is important.
Anyway, what's important is that
we're introducing a tour package.
Usually, there is a side menu
you should have with the noodles
to enhances the taste, right?
(Good teamwork)
Yes, there is.
People usually eat with dumplings and one-bite bossam.
We should try the bossam.
We don't need to argue about this.
We'll get chogye noodles, dumplings,
and one-bite bossam.
- We'll just order that. / - He's so smooth.
- Okay. / - That's perfect.
- Okay. / - Thank you.
- We'll order those. / - That's good enough.
Since we're coming up with a package tour,
we need to break out of the boundaries.
- What boundaries? / - Wait.
Three men are traveling together.
- That's sad actually. / - We're three men on a tour.
I don't like traveling with men.
Then you shouldn't have come.
How can I not come?
I went to a ski resort
in the Gangwon Province with two men
for two nights and three days. It was really sad.
Yes. What are we doing here?
(They need a change)
(to lift their moods.)
- Let's refresh ourselves. / - Yes.
- Let's do that today. / - That's good.
(Are they refreshed already?)
(Eyes on the noodles)
- Look at that. / - Gosh, it looks good.
Chogye noodles are made with cold chicken broth
seasoned with vinegar and mustard.
People think that "gye" refers to the chicken,
but it means "mustard" in the Pyeongan dialect.
It's enjoyed in the summer because of the cold broth.
But in the Joseon period, it was eaten in the winter
because mustard increases the body temperature
and helps you digest.
It's a perfect noodle dish for the winter season.
(Chewy noodles with chicken)
(Chogye noodles)
(The generous amount reflects a generous heart.)
I guess they make the food tall here.
Yes. Like Seopjikoji.
It's Seopjikoji. It's stacked.
- Look at this. / - This is dongchimi.
(Time to refresh your eyes)
Actually, I like buckwheat noodles,
but I also like regular noodles.
- Gosh. / - Regular noodles.
- Right. / - This is the best.
(Joonyoung greets it by smelling it.)
The broth is so white.
- Those dumplings look great. / - Yes.
You got them from a good supplier.
We get them from a certified place.
They have a different color.
- Buckwheat dumplings. / - Right?
These are great dumplings.
- Gosh. / - It's the best.
Record it.
(It looks so good that you just want to eat it.)
Please tell us about the broth. It's very white.
It's white because
we boil the chicken for a long time.
It's broth made from chicken and chicken bones.
We also add fruit dongchimi into it,
thus making the broth white.
Try it. You'll know that it has a clean flavor.
- It's healthy food. / - When you eat it,
you'll be able to feel it.
Could you tell us how old your mother is?
She's 70 years old.
70 years of tradition.
What do you mean 70 years?
Did she make this from birth?
50 years of tradition.
(The taste of a 50-year tradition)
- All right. We'll... / - Shall we eat?
- No. / - We should play a game
so we can eat this.
Thank you for telling us about the food.
- Thank you. / - Enjoy.
- What should we... / - We have to eat this.
We really have to eat this.
If we don't eat this...
If we don't, that would be so rude.
I'll keep talking about it if we don't eat it.
- Just give it to us. / - I hope you'll get to eat it.
The second mission is this.
What's this? Put it in the nostrils?
What do we do with the toothpicks?
You have to pull out the toothpicks with your forehead.
- What? / - How do you do that?
(Did I hear him right?)
(His eyes widen.)
There's a master who picks toothpicks with his head.
If you pull out more toothpicks than him,
- you win. / - A master?
- What master? / - Master, please come out.
How can we pull more out than the master?
His forehead is...
(A broad back)
Please sit down.
- With your forehead? / - Do it.
Try it. What is it?
(Toothpick hunter, Writer Lee Sihwan)
(Ta-da!)
(The aura of a master)
Master Lee Sihwan
got 123 toothpicks
out of 500 toothpicks.
(Smiling)
(Is that humanly possible?)
- Try it. Let me see. / - All right.
The master will demonstrate first.
(Flipping his hair)
(The master gets ready.)
(A broad forehead)
Goodness.
(The master approaches the prey.)
(He sends all his energy to his forehead.)
(That's a lot of toothpicks.)
(Falling)
(Flabbergasted)
(The prey falls on the table.)
(Flipping hair)
(This is the master.)
(How did he do that?)
(His pupils shake.)
Let's set that aside. That's what he got.
- We need to get more than that. / - He'll count them.
- 106. / - 106.
- How much is 106? / - 106?
If you get more than 106,
you can eat. If not,
- you can have one bite. / - How can we win?
- You can decide. / - This won't work.
No.
(The Cheerful Fool fails too.)
(Defconn is their last hope.)
Cool it off first.
(Getting his forehead ready)
Your face needs to be oily.
- Press it. / - It has to be chubby too.
Take them out instantly.
- Gosh. / - Not there.
(He put his forehead against it lightly.)
- What is it? / - That's a lot.
You picked up a lot.
Not just there, though.
This...
(You have to eat the chogye noodles once you see it.)
- There. / - Ready?
(His forehead is perfect for this mission.)
- Go. / - In one go.
- Challenge! / - Go.
(Sending him energy)
- Good. / - Just like that.
Don't move. Go straight up.
(Their fate depends on his forehead.)
- Challenge. / - Challenge.
- Just like that. / - Go up a little bit.
- It's a lot. / - Good.
(Straight up)
- More. / - Up.
- That's a lot. / - More. Harder.
- Go up. / - More.
We did it!
Just like that.
(An overwhelming amount)
(Toothpicks' mass migration!)
(Awesome!)
(The fall of the master)
This is amazing.
(Bring us the chogye noodles.)
(The real winner Defconn)
You can rest.
- Take a rest. / - Give me that.
Will you count those?
There's something hanging. What's this?
What is this?
- Give it here. / - Gosh. He's the best.
- That was awesome. / - He's the best.
- Amazing. / - I did it to feed you.
- Let's eat. / - You're amazing.
You're the master of games.
(Counting Defconn's record)
Exactly
169 pieces.
169!
- Yes! Let's eat. / - Let's eat the chogye noodles.
(They get to eat the chogye noodles.)
- Enjoy. / - Thank you for the food.
- Thank you. / - Enjoy it.
169? That's a lot.
(He leaves the table feeling bitter.)
This is a large helping.
Yes, it's a lot.
Did you purposely give us more?
No. We offer extra noodles for free.
- For free? / - Really?
Yes.
- Sir. / - Yes?
What do we do with the vinegar?
Add some vinegar and some mustard.
- Like this? / - Yes.
Okay.
(They add the vinegar and mustard as told.)
The broth looks good.
(Mix it well with the broth.)
It looks amazing.
Let me taste the broth first.
(Slurping)
(Amazed)
(He looks like he's on top of the world.)
It has a very clean taste.
It tastes of homemade dongchimi.
Homemade dongchimi is really good.
It's delicious.
It tastes like mom's or grandma's dongchimi.
It tastes like my grandma's noodle dish.
Let me taste the noodles.
(It's time to taste the noodles.)
The broth has seeped into the noodles.
The chicken tastes great.
(Now he tastes the chicken.)
I'll eat some chicken with the noodles.
(He copies Defconn.)
This is so good. It tastes different from naengmyeon.
- It's sweet and sour. / - Right. It's sweet and sour.
And it calms me down.
It calms me down.
Are you a parrot or what?
Are you a mynah bird?
(Smiling)
I like the dongchimi broth covering the noodles.
(He highly praises the dongchimi broth.)
- I agree. / - Right?
I can feel the broth with the noodles.
Sir, can you please ask your mother
how she made this dongchimi?
- Please have a seat. / - Okay.
It's sweet and sour. It's so tasty.
- Really? / - Do you have a secret recipe?
I made the dongchimi as normal
and added some fruit to it.
That's why it's fruity.
It tastes so delicious.
I'm glad you like it.
We're sorry for dropping in unannounced.
- No, it's okay. / - It tastes so good.
And it is so tender.
(Glancing)
Jongmin, you look so much more handsome in person.
Thank you.
(Digging in)
(They fill up their stomachs with noodles.)
You should try the side menu.
(He can't miss the one-bite bossam.)
(They try all the side menus too.)
Chogye noodles taste so good in the winter.
I think this is a good winter food.
We don't have to eat only warm food in winter.
- The staff should have lunch here. / - Okay, we will.
You guys should try these chogye noodles.
(After a while...)
(They almost finished their bowls.)
Thank you. We really enjoyed it.
Thank you. The food was great.
"Local dishes of the Gangwon Province."
"Noodle dishes of Jeongseon. Gasugi."
Jeongseon is not far up from here.
There's gasugi.
It's gasugi.
- Minsang. / - Yes?
You ate gasugi on a TV show.
Is it good?
It's savory and delicious.
He thinks everything is delicious.
He thinks even ramyeon is delicious.
So you tried it because it's famous in Jeongseon?
- Yes. / - Okay.
Bye.
- There's gasugi / - Gasugi.
and ongsimi
in the Jeongseon Arirang Market.
- It's all in the market. / - Yes, in the market.
We should go there.
- In the market... / - Let's go.
- It'd look great. / - Let's go.
I'm hungry. I can't wait.
(We're hungry.)
We can't wait any longer.
All we did is help Euijin relieve his hangover.
(He relieved his hangover with homemade food.)
I'm so hungry.
I'll come again and eat it later.
Me, too.
- How many kilometers? / - 58km.
Is Yongjin really not coming today?
I get the feeling that he'll come as a...
- As a judge? / - Yes.
It would be great if Yongjin is a judge.
He should be a judge.
We had Winter Wild Camp last week,
so we're doing something warm this week.
(Something warm?)
We have to take a dive.
Gosh, I can't do that in winter.
It will be horrible getting into the water at night.
(The losing team will take the first dive of 2019.)
Siyoon, how old are you now?
- I'm 34. / - 34?
That's when things worked out after I got married.
I shot "Speed Scandal" back then.
- So you played a father back then? / - Yes.
I actually had a baby back then.
That's why I could play the character well.
Soochan appears in the last scene of the movie.
- Soochan's in the movie? / - Yes.
In "Speed Scandal"?
I shoot a TV commercial in the movie.
The baby I'm holding is Soochan.
(One-year-old Soochan)
- Really? / - He was a year old.
Does Soochan know this?
He doesn't know. He didn't watch it.
That's Soochan's debut film.
(Soochan's debut film is "Speed Scandal".)
(From the bean paste kalguksu restaurant)
(to Jeongseon Arirang Market)
(They enjoy the beautiful winter scene on the way.)
(Arriving at Jeongseon following the Donggang River.)
Weekend market, also on the 2nd and 7th of every month.
- Hello. / - It's hot noodles.
- My gosh. / - Look who's here.
- Hello. / - Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Fish cakes are famous in the Gangwon Province.
They're very famous.
It's so nice to meet you.
Arirang Market.
Do you know gasugi?
- Gasugi. / - The noodle dish?
- You can find it in the market. / - In the market?
There's a restaurant
in the market. Are you filming something for TV?
- Yes. / - It will be on TV.
- Bye. / - Bye.
- Thank you. / - Bye.
Let's eat now.
This is it. It says Jeongseon Market.
I think this is it.
I think so. It says South Gate.
Jeongseon Market.
It looks pretty.
(A tourist attraction in the Gangwon Province)
(Good-quality local specialties)
(Jeongseon Market has various snacks.)
- There's everything. / - It has everything.
- Tadpole noodles. / - There are tadpole noodles.
- I want to try kotdeungchigi. / - Kotdeungchigi.
They don't have gasugi, though.
We should find gasugi first.
What is this place?
There's something in the alley.
What is this?
I always eat cabbage pancakes when in Gangwon Province.
- It looks so good. / - Hello.
- These are tadpole noodles, right? / - That's right.
So these are tadpole noodles. They look like tadpoles.
Gasugi is not here. This is strange.
There's no gasugi place.
What is this? It's Jongmin.
Jongmin was here before.
This is so funny.
Why are you taking a picture of it?
Other than here, is there a restaurant...
Hello. Ma'am,
is gasugi
a type of noodle?
People used to call kalguksu as gasugi.
I see. It's kalguksu.
People here call kalguksu...
It's a type of kalguksu.
But we make gasugi with bean flour.
And people used to call it gasugi.
It's chewier and more delicious.
Then is kotdeungchigi the same as gasugi?
Kotdeungchigi is made with buckwheat.
- Okay. Thank you. / - Bye.
This is...
This is the place she talked about.
Siyoon, it's here.
We should ask if we can film here.
Okay.
(Nervous)
- Hello. / - Hello.
- Are you the owner? / - Hello.
- Hello. / - May we film here?
Thank you.
(Thank you so much.)
The place is full. This is a famous restaurant.
- Hello. / - Hello.
There are no seats.
- Hello. / - Enjoy your meal.
We have to try this.
(The place is packed.)
- Can we place an order? / - Okay. What would you like?
I'll take your order. What would you like to have?
(Excited)
Two bowls of rice with thistle, kotdeungchigi,
ongsimi, and tadpole noodles.
You just ordered what we want to eat.
Okay.
Excuse me.
- Sir. / - Please come on in.
Okay.
(Ko Chulho, the owner of the noodle restaurant)
We're visiting noodle restaurants today.
We are only allowed to eat noodle dishes.
What is the most popular menu here?
Rice with thistle is the most popular.
It's in order of popularity.
What should we eat with the kotdeungchigi?
It's good with assorted jeon.
We will have assorted jeon and kotdeungchigi.
Okay.
(Team Hot Noodles' second pick, kotdeungchigi)
(Team Hot Noodles' second pick, assorted jeon)
(Assorted jeon and kotdeungchigi)
Your mission for three bowls of kotdeungchigi
and assorted jeon is "Pull Out the Toothpicks".
(It sounds horrible.)
(Why are you doing this to us?)
Pull out the toothpicks using our forehead?
(Will we not be able to eat the noodles?)
Do we do that with the wrinkles on our forehead?
You can use your wrinkles.
You have wrinkles on your forehead.
(Wrinkled forehead)
That's good.
It looks like a pupa.
The master will show you
how to pull out the toothpicks using your forehead.
- Really? / - You should
pull out more toothpicks than him.
- What? / - He's a master.
- That's impossible. / - Meet the master first.
Please come out.
It's impossible to win.
(Who is the master of pulling out toothpicks?)
- What? / - Was it you?
What's AlphaO doing here?
(The ultimate pushover, AlphaO!)
How do we do this?
What was your record from the practice game?
- 94... / - What?
Did you just say 94?
- How do we do this? / - Are you ready?
- It hurts. / - Are you confident?
- They'll poke you with... / - It's about poking.
(And his record was 94?)
How many do you think you can handle?
- 100. / - 100.
100 toothpicks on your forehead?
What do you get if you win anyway?
You get nothing.
Is this even possible?
- Start when you're ready. / - I think I get this.
(AlphaO starts the game.)
(Pressing down)
(Don't try this at home.)
What are you doing?
What is he doing?
He started, right?
He started the game.
Hurry up.
(Turning)
(Rustling down)
(He's impressed by his technique.)
(He's not the same AlphaO anymore.)
(Dangling)
It's stuck.
- Let me see. / - He took a lot of them.
(He made up for his previous losses at once.)
- This is how you do it. / - Yes.
Okay, I got it.
- You have to do it again. / - Not now, not now.
(Again?)
- This doesn't count. / - He just played.
- Hey. / - Wait.
I just played the game.
It looks less than 90.
(Staring)
- Is it over 90? / - Am I doing this?
- Of course. / - Count them.
One, two, three, four,
five, six... You pulled a lot.
Seven, eight, nine, ten...
- He pulled a lot. / - That's a lot.
- 85. / - Seriously?
It's 90.
(AlphaO's record is 90!)
He was turning his head like this.
AlphaO, tell me one thing.
Is it better to press down hard? What's the secret?
I don't know. I just pressed down hard.
(Oh, well!)
Did you do it like this?
- It wasn't bad, was it? / - I think
he just pulled out 50 to 60.
Let's do this.
("Pull Out the Toothpicks" trial)
What is this?
(Pressing down hard)
It'll hurt a lot. Take it easy.
(He pulled out nothing.)
- What? / - What happened?
Why can't I do it?
- He can't do this. / - You're out.
(Junho gives it a shot.)
Go.
(Turning)
This is hard.
Taehyun looks like the best player.
I'm the best among us.
(Team Hot Noodles' player, Cha Taehyun)
- Use the new one. / - I think
- having a practice round was bad. / - You're right.
Did your record go up after you practiced?
- No, it went down. / - See?
He should have a practice round too.
Then it'll be fair.
I just had one less practice round than you.
Still, we should compete under the same conditions.
This is unfair. I can't accept this.
You do it again.
(I refuse.)
I don't want to.
We are in the same situation.
- He has to play another round. / - Where is it?
Surely he won't do better this time.
- Are you ready? / - Yes.
(Pulling)
(He's ready.)
(The three are nervous.)
Let's begin.
Hurry up.
(What?)
- Yes! / - The game is over.
- This was a good idea. / - The game is over.
- He pulled out zero. / - Do you want another chance?
- Do you? / - Yes, I do.
- See? / - No way.
Let's make the average number the final score.
(AlphaO's second attempt)
Ready.
(Squirming)
(He squirms for a victory.)
(How will it go?)
Are you ready?
(Oh, dear.)
See? It would've gone bad if I just went on.
The toothpicks are...
It would have ended up badly if we'd just continued.
Look at him.
I just need to pull out more than one toothpick.
Taehyun, your forehead is not your forehead.
I'm ready.
(Please...)
Press it harder.
Pull just one out.
Go.
(Spreading)
Let's have a toothpick party.
(He just smiles.)
You pulled 129 toothpicks and completed the mission.
Taehyun.
Yes!
Ma'am.
We won the game.
Please give us the noodles.
I thought we wouldn't get to eat it.
I'm glad I pulled out more than 100.
It makes it look fair.
Now, shall we begin?
(But your noodles are not served yet.)
We should start when the noodles are here.
- I can't eat the side dishes? / - You can.
Wouldn't it be nicer to eat it with the noodles?
(Glaring furiously)
It will be served soon.
It's ours now.
We can eat it.
- You're older. You can eat it. / - Exactly. I'm 45.
Although I think it would be better if you wait.
(Everyone stops Junho.)
- Just wait a bit more. / - Okay.
(I'm hungry.)
(I can't stand it anymore.)
(Junho suddenly stands up.)
(Is he upset because we didn't let him eat?)
Ma'am, we're getting the noodles, right?
(Are my noodles coming?)
After this, shall we wrap up
with tadpole noodles in Gangneung?
- Ongsimi? / - That sounds good.
Then we don't have to travel so much.
We shouldn't eat so much here.
I can't eat that much.
I can.
(I could eat a horse now.)
Oh, well.
(His chopsticks of desire pick a side dish.)
Just wait.
(Come on.)
It'll come soon. Hang in there.
(I miss my mom. Taehyun won't let me eat.)
There comes the food.
- It's here. / - It's here.
(What took you so long? I missed you.)
(Noodles cooked in doenjang broth)
(Various toppings complete the dish.)
Kotdeungchigi is made with buckwheat
from Jeongseon, Gangwon Province.
No matter how thick the noodle is,
it's not elastic.
It doesn't hit your nose because it's elastic.
And as the noodle is thick, it's rough.
So it hits your face here and there,
hence it's called kotdeungchigi.
(The story is as interesting as the taste.)
Do I have to use the mode I used earlier?
No, just use the normal one.
This is not it? Hyper...
(Taehyun and Siyoon are busy taking photos.)
(It feels like)
(I shouldn't touch anything on the table.)
Can we please eat now?
Is that for your social media?
(I eat kotdeungchigi sometimes.)
You have to show the photos to the judges.
(Oh, right.)
(His hunger made him forget about the penalty.)
- Let's eat. / - Can I eat now?
- Let's eat! / - Let's eat.
Eat.
(Steaming)
- Don't blow on it before you eat it. / - Pardon?
- Don't blow on it. / - Why not?
It looks better that way.
(Steaming)
(It's hot.)
(His mouth looks sly.)
- It's steaming. / - There you go.
(Taehyun's passion and Junho's tongue unite.)
Hurry up.
- We don't have much time. / - Hurry up.
- There you go. / - It has to be steaming.
It feels like the noodles are alive.
Is that why it's called kotdeungchigi?
Kotdeungchigi means to hit your nose.
It has to hit your nose.
It's called that because it hits your nose?
Sir.
Why is it called kotdeungchigi?
The noodle hits your nose when you eat it.
- Because it's elastic. / - Exactly.
Look.
Let me try the noodles.
Watch out.
(It's not hitting my nose, sir.)
It seems like your suction power is weak.
- You have to suck it hard. / - You try it.
(Taehyun tries to hit his nose with the noodle.)
(Slurping)
(The noodle hit his nose.)
It hit your nose slightly.
It hit your nose at the end.
See? It hit your nose.
You try.
(Siyoon tries it too.)
It hits your nose at the end.
Go.
(The noodles lagged.)
He failed.
(Junho gives it another try.)
(The noodles move up and down.)
- It hit your nose, right? / - It hit me hard.
It did.
I love the soup.
(Junho drinks the soup out of the bowl.)
(It's light and refreshing.)
The soup is...
Kotdeungchigi has doenjang-based soup,
which is why it's light.
This is delicious.
It's delicious. No wonder this place is famous.
It has the broth of janchi guksu,
but the noodles are so elastic.
(Elastic)
- It's so fresh. / - And there is
a lot of perilla oil in the soup,
giving it a nutty flavor. I love it.
(Slurping)
(He's enjoying it.)
(I don't want to miss a single noodle.)
This is bindaetteok.
Having Gangwon's kotdeungchigi on a cold winter day
will warm up your body.
Yes.
This is not jeon.
This is rice cake.
(Sticky rice and sorghum dough)
(cooked to golden brown on each side)
(Sorghum bukkumi made with mung bean stuffing.)
This is called sorghum bukkumi.
- What is this? / - Sorghum bukkumi?
- What's this inside? / - It's delicious.
(It's delicious.)
(Junho takes a bite too.)
It's so chewy.
(Chewy)
- What is this? / - It's interesting.
(They fell in love with sorghum bukkumi.)
In winter, hot noodles are the best.
Why would you eat cold noodles in winter?
I hope it will be much colder later.
- At the presentation... / - I hope it's really cold.
The judges will be annoyed by the cold noodles,
while ours will look so warm.
This is so nice. I feel much better now.
It's good.
(Junho gulps down the noodles.)
It's delicious and chewy.
(Satisfied)
This one looks interesting.
Dried pollack kalguksu.
- That sounds good. / - Dried pollack kalguksu.
Technically, this is not a clear broth.
(He keeps slurping the noodles.)
(He gulps down the food.)
How about you stop by a market and try tadpole noodles?
- We should do that. / - We need a clear broth.
Are we going to eat more food?
- Here? / - Yes.
You said we'll eat in Gangneung.
You said you could eat more.
You said we wouldn't eat here, so I ate everything.
We have to eat tadpole noodles too.
It's really delicious.
The soup is amazing.
That was a great meal.
(Full)
- Look at his stomach. / - Kotdeungchigi.
- What's in it? / - Kotdeungchigi.
(It looks like there is a whole bowl of it inside.)
Kotdeungchigi is so delicious.
Hello.
Study hard. Happy New Year.
- Be a good boy. / - It's so cold.
While I was researching, I found something
called algonji kalguksu in Gangneung.
Is it kalguksu with fish intestine in it?
It looked amazing.
It's basically altang with
noodles in it.
Altang with noodles? Would that be good?
- It looked like... / - It should be good.
I need to digest the food. I had so much food.
(Where is their next destination?)
Let's start with geonjin guksu.
(Geonjin guksu?)
It's called geonjin guksu because the noodles are
cooked and then washed with cold water.
There are Andong-style and Gangwon-style.
Andong-style geonjin guksu is made of
clear broth without any paste.
In the Gangwon Province, they make the broth with paste
and place toppings such as
seasoned vegetables, just like bibim guksu.
Gochujang makes it spicy and
the vegetables add a crunchy texture to it.
It's a simple but appetizing dish.
Hey, this one looks good.
I've never seen this. Geonjin guksu.
- Geonjin guksu? / - What is that?
Let me see.
"Noodles made with flour mixed with soy powder..."
- Let's go there. / - Washed with cold...
- That'll do. / - Let's go there.
- And put the broth in... / - The recipe sounds good.
We found geonjin guksu on the internet,
and it looks historic and interesting.
So we'd like to introduce this to people.
Okay. What time will you come?
We should be there before 4 p.m.
(They head to Hoengseong.)
(How would geonjin guksu taste?)
(As they get in the car, they turn the music on.)
It's a noodle and music tour.
I'm hearing a lot of great songs.
(The song builds up to the climax.)
(He wakes up.)
(It's too good a song to sleep through.)
(Let's sing)
(out loud.)
(A live performance of three musicians)
(Hip-hop musician Defconn,)
(dance musician Jongmin,)
(and rocker Joonyoung sing passionately.)
(You're now watching)
(the Gangwon Noodle Trip on Two Days and One Night)
(The music car gets heated up.)
(The three musicians sing passionately.)
(He tries to add some ad-lib.)
(He failed.)
(The rocker can easily pull it off.)
What a great song.
(They reach the restaurant, singing great songs.)
There it is. We're here.
- Was it geonjin guksu? / - Here it is.
(How would geonjin guksu taste?)
This is the place.
Shall we make him sleep alone outside if we lose?
- I can use the One Ring and... / - Do you have it?
(Joonyoung won the One Ring in the previous trip.)
Let's make him sleep alone.
(You're so smart.)
Let's check out the camping spot first.
Let's ask them to make him sleep in a harsh place.
Somewhere he can use some plastic wrap.
(He didn't hear anything.)
- ♪ If I see you someday ♪ / - Today, we're on
a noodle and music tour.
You should book us a karaoke.
Have you seen me singing a ballad?
We sang for three hours today.
Let's go. This is the place.
- Hello. / - Hello.
Hello, Ma'am.
We called you earlier. It's Two Days and One Night.
Do you have geonjin guksu?
Yes.
We're with our crew.
Could you allow us to film here?
- Sure. / - Thank you.
Is this the only place that has geonjin guksu?
- Yes. / - How did you learn to cook it?
I learned the recipe from my grandmother.
- Your grandmother. / - We heard it's only here.
From your grandmother?
Shouldn't we eat it with sirloin?
Would sirloin go with noodles?
- It goes really well. / - Of course it does.
Actually, a perfect match would be stir-fried pork.
(I love stir-fried pork.)
Isn't that just your personal wish?
I know you guys like it.
Meat and noodles are perfect together.
It's coming. That was fast.
(Geonjin guksu is cooked quickly.)
It's cold.
The noodles look interesting.
(The noodles look different.)
(Geonjin guksu)
- Look at this. / - It looks interesting.
The noodles are not like ordinary noodles.
Ma'am, could you briefly explain what this is?
I can smell sesame seeds.
- The sesame seeds... / - It smells so nice.
This is a winner.
(Sesame seeds sprinkled over the noodles)
- Ma'am. / - Yes.
The noodles look very interesting.
They're kalguksu noodles.
- It's rolled with a rolling pin. / - It's so thin.
- It's not from a machine. / - No, it's not.
This is what my grandmother used to
cook for me all the time.
(Whenever she visited her grandmother...)
I remembered the noodles my grandmother made
and thought I could sell them.
I did it, and the customers love it.
(Her grandmother's noodles are now in her memories.)
This kind of noodle dish is usually dry,
but this one has a bit of soup in it.
- That's why... / - It's cold.
Exactly.
It has a very strong smell of sesame.
What goes best with this? Sirloin?
Yes. Sirloin and bean sprouts.
Do people eat sirloin and geonjin guksu together?
Then please bring us some meat too.
We really want to eat it,
- but we need to complete a mission first. / - I see.
It looks really good. It smells amazing.
These roasted sesame seeds are homemade.
The sesame seeds smell so strong.
It looks really good. Let's play the game.
It smells so nutty.
You're going to play "Words on Your Nose".
- "Words on Your Nose"? / - What's that?
You have to guess a word in 30 seconds.
Each letter of the word is put on your nose.
It tickles on my nose.
We need to guess the letter on our noses?
Yes, you'll have 30 seconds.
Ready, go.
(They blow the notes hard.)
I can't see it.
(Blowing)
(Their lungs are working at full capacity.)
I can't see it.
(Joonyoung tries hard too.)
(Oh, no.)
(He ruins his face to eat the noodle.)
(Time is ticking, but they won't say anything.)
It's too far up. I can't see it.
(It's on their blind spot.)
(His eyes, nose, and mouth are concentrated.)
- I can't see it. / - Cue?
("Cue" is correct.)
Cue sheet?
Cue card.
Curator.
Cupid.
- Cupid. / - Cupid.
- Cupid. / - That is correct.
(It's a correct answer!)
- Yes! / - Gosh, I'm so dizzy.
We just need to take wild guesses.
- I couldn't read mine. / - It took...
I said you had 30 seconds.
(Please...)
(Can we eat?)
It took 28 seconds.
How did we guess that?
I thought this was "i".
I just couldn't see anything.
- Joonyoung saw it. / - How did they solve it?
I couldn't see anything.
Now, you three can enjoy geonjin guksu.
It's like bibim guksu, but it has soup in it.
Not many people eat it like this.
I really wanted to try the noodles.
I wanted to try the zucchini.
The noodles are like kalguksu noodles,
but very thin.
It looks like thin rice noodles too.
- It's very thin. / - I have
never tasted anything like this.
It tastes like zucchini.
- This is... / - It's good.
It tastes interesting.
It's very
plain.
It tastes like the plain bibim guksu
my mom used to make for me
when I was young.
The sesame seeds taste amazing.
The sesame seeds and the zucchini are so good.
The zucchini tastes truly amazing.
I could eat this forever.
It's bland.
It smells...
(It sounds familiar.)
You could eat this forever?
I think I could eat this forever.
When I say something,
he copies what I say.
It's delicious. This suits my taste.
It looks spicy,
but it's not spicy at all. It's rather bland.
I love it.
It's really good.
Ma'am.
It's so delicious.
- I like that it's bland. / - Yes.
- It's a bit bland and... / - Here is the sirloin.
- Wow. / - So this is...
It's Korean beef from Hoengseong.
- This beef is different. / - Hoengseong beef.
I guess it would be tasty with the noodle.
- Yes. / - I knew it.
The cow was raised in nature, right?
Eat the beef together with the noodles.
It looks delicious.
Those who eat beef here
- must order this too. / - Many people do that.
I can imagine why.
They order this instead of naengmyeon.
This is it.
I think I can understand what Grandma's cooking
tastes like.
Old people like bland food.
It tastes familiar.
It reminds me of old memories.
It really brings back my old memories.
When I was young, my mom made bibim guksu for me
after school in the summer.
She made it in a big bowl.
It tastes just like that. I love it.
We should go for this here instead of cold noodles.
- Instead of cold noodles. / - It goes well with meat.
- This is... / - It's not that cold.
(A bowl of noodles holds a story yet to be told.)
(It makes me feel emotional.)
(Noodle Road Presentation)
(Director Lee Wookjung)
(Cuisine Researcher Lee Hyejung)
(The godfather of restaurant business, Hong Seokcheon)
(Experts from each field)
(Surprisingly like their presentation)
(Down to gibberish)
(They will be ruthless.)
(How will this confusing story end?)
(See you next week.)
