(The beginning of Coffee Friends)
(One day in October 2018)
(Son Ho Jun)
Do you want coconut latte or something else?
- We would be happy to drink it. - Of course.
- How about you? Water? - Water?
(They are best friends.)
Who first began...
that charity coffee truck?
You can enjoy something while making a donation.
It makes donating easy. There's no pressure.
We thought about what we could do.
We give them coffee,
and we raise funds.
What would you like? Iced lemonade?
Thank you. Enjoy.
(Their charity coffee truck is called Coffee Friends.)
Thank you.
How many fundraising events have you done?
- We began in March. - We began in March.
March, April, May, June, July, August, September.
(March)
(April)
One thing I am certain of is this.
(This happened in the middle.)
I have something important to do.
There were times when I couldn't attend the event.
So I started inviting friends to join me.
(May with Sun Woo)
(June with Yunho)
(July with Sandara)
(August with Kwang Soo)
(September)
(October with Byung Jae)
(November)
(They raised 32,600 dollars for a children's hospital.)
(In December, they donated twice the amount of funds they raised.)
He makes coffee,
- so he studied to be a barista. - I got certified as a barista.
Do you have a certification then?
I am a certified barista.
What can you make?
I make great coffee.
I do this.
I am asking you this because...
we want you to continue doing what you've been doing.
But we want you to do the December fundraising event...
with us in Jeju.
I see.
We were going to take the month of December off.
It's too cold.
We thought you could run a cafe.
- That's our idea. - That would be amazing.
Ho Jun can make coffee.
Yeon Seok likes cooking.
We thought we could run a brunch cafe.
(Ho Jun is the barista, and Yeon Seok is the chef.)
(Ho Jun the barista)
Here's your Americano.
(Yeon Seok the chef)
I am behind you, buddy.
All right.
(The two friends' cafe will open soon.)
(Where will it be?)
(A tangerine orchard)
(When?)
(The season when tangerines ripen)
This is beautiful.
This place is awesome.
(How will they...)
(transform the shed at the tangerine orchard?)
Tangerine trees are lined up.
(Ho Jun and Yeon Seok visit the orchard for the first time.)
(Kim Jae Myeong, interior designer, friend of Ho Jun and Yeon Seok)
It's here.
This orchard is huge.
It's my first time seeing tangerines hanging on a tree.
I think it's my first time at a tangerine orchard.
I love the colors.
Let's try a big one.
- Should we do that? - Peel one for me.
Peel one for me.
One person should do it. We don't have enough hands.
- Just... - Fine. I will peel it for you.
You should peel it from the back.
No, I peel it from the front.
- You washed your hands, right? - Of course I did.
(It's delicious.)
- It's delicious. - It's really good.
This is so good.
It's my first time eating a freshly picked tangerine.
Have you ever had freshly picked fruit before?
(No, I haven't.)
It would be nice for them to come and pick the tangerines.
If the tangerines are still here, then they can pick some.
It would be fun.
We can give them gloves and scissors.
(Have you ever imagined seeing a cafe in a tangerine orchard?)
Let's go.
(Let's go!)
Ta-da.
The door's heavy.
- We should take photos. - Really?
Don't act like an expert.
(Jae Myeong is an expert. He's an interior designer.)
- We can just go inside. - It's pretty inside.
(Ho Jun is pretty.)
I need pictures of the building, not you.
We need to take photos for the interior designs.
All right.
(Jae Myeong's working hard as an interior designer.)
- Okay. - Are you done?
- We can take more photos later. - Right.
(Let's check out the place.)
What's this?
(It's their first time seeing the shed.)
There's nothing inside.
It's empty.
But it's well-organized.
The roof is very pretty.
(But something is missing here.)
(They can only see the bottoms of the trees because the window's low.)
(The other window is too high, and they can only see the sky.)
(It's hard to see the overall view of the refreshing orchard.)
This place is perfect.
Is this it?
I think we need a new window.
- Jae Myeong. - Yes.
Do you think we can make a new window?
It's hard to make a new window, isn't it?
We can make a new window.
If we make a window that can help people see...
- the green side of the orchard... - Yes.
They can enjoy the view too.
I want people to see this view.
It's quite dull right now.
When people come here,
the food has to be good,
but we also need to provide them a nice view that they can enjoy.
I want this space to provide people with a nice view.
If we can make windows,
we should place tables by each window.
It would be the best to place tables for four.
It's quite small here...
But we aren't serving something heavy. We are serving brunch.
Since it's a cafe, we can make a bar.
I think it would be okay to be about this big.
We can make use of that space.
We can install the bar here.
For those who sit at the bar,
they can see us making coffee.
The rest of them can sit by the window to enjoy the view.
That's right. So everyone can see us making coffee right here.
We can talk with our customers as we make coffee.
(This is what Yeon Seok and Ho Jun have in mind.)
We should come up with a name too.
(Days until the opening of the cafe)
(1 day before the opening of the cafe)
(They are back in Jeju Island.)
The weather's very good today.
It's the ocean.
We should smell the ocean.
Oh, my goodness. It's very refreshing.
Oh, I love it.
I'm getting nervous.
Let's do well, my friend.
Let's do it.
- We're almost here. - Are we?
It's somewhere here.
You are right.
Nice.
- They made a window. - There's a window.
They made it.
We have a sign too. It says, "Coffee Friends".
We have a sign.
It says, "Since 2019".
Wait a second.
Let me shoot a video.
Ta-da.
(Oh, my goodness!)
Oh, my goodness. It's so pretty!
(The bar table)
(One large window)
(Another large window)
It's really nice with the large window.
- I like having the large window. - Me too.
We can see the tangerine orchard.
- This bread is really good. - How did they make this?
It's really smooth.
(They can relax and enjoy the view here.)
Yes!
- This is so pretty. - Oh, my goodness.
Jae Myeong did a good job.
(They enter the inside of the bar.)
- Come inside. - All right. Let me see.
Look! There's the gas stove.
We have espresso machines too.
(Ho Jun makes full use of the bar table.)
(Oh, my goodness)
Here you go.
(The cafe's interior reflect their ideas.)
Oh, gosh. It's so pretty!
Let's make the bread first.
- Right now? - Yes.
We need some time to ferment it.
Let's make it when the other members get here.
They'll be here soon.
(They hired their own part-timers.)
It's our first day.
I need someone who is very cooperative and gets along with me.
I'd like to work with someone I'm comfortable with.
So I picked Yunho.
I saved his name as...
"I'm U-Know Yunho".
("I'm U-Know Yunho")
- Hello. - He picked up.
I need you on December 2 and 3.
You shouldn't make any plans on those dates.
You don't have any plans, do you?
I'll be in Japan on December 2 and 3.
Why? What are you going to do there?
- I have a concert. - Really?
- What about December 17, 18 and 19? - Let me check my schedule.
What about January?
Why would you ask about January?
January? Let me see.
I'll be okay in January as long as it's not mid-January.
You can just say "no".
Feel free to reject me. Just say "no".
- No, it's not like that. - You don't have to accept it.
No.
He can't come.
We are opening our cafe on December 2, 3 and 4.
I'm fully booked.
I have a shoot on those days.
You can come either on December 2 and 3, or December 3 and 4.
I'm already booked for that time.
You have regular shoots on Mondays and Tuesday.
Right.
He's not picking up.
(His friend isn't picking up.)
Please pick up the phone.
(It seems like they will be the only workers at the cafe.)
Do we have to do this by ourselves?
Let me call Choi Ji Woo.
Nice.
I'm not sure if she can come because she just got married.
(Nervous)
Hello, Ho Jun.
Ji Woo! How have you been?
I've been good. You're just done with your drama series, right?
- It was done yesterday. - Good job.
You did a good job.
Well done.
Thank you, Ji Woo.
Are you free on December 2, 3 and 4?
- Can I be of any help? - It's a charity program.
Of course.
I'll set that time aside to go.
All right. I will make a note that you can come.
Okay. I'll talk to you later.
- Thank you. - Bye.
(He succeeds in hiring Ji Woo.)
- We have one part-timer now. - I think she will come.
I think so too.
How about Se Jong? He's a nice guy.
- Se Jong. - Hello.
What are you doing?
I'm about to work out.
- Are you on your way to the gym? - Yes.
We're doing a charity program called "Coffee Friends".
I've heard about it.
It would be nice to spend time with you guys.
(This friend is here to spend time with Yeon Seok and Ho Jun.)
(Yang Se Jong)
- Hello. - You are here!
- Hello. - Hello.
Oh, my gosh.
- How are you? - Good.
Your hair has gotten long!
This is Ho Jun.
- Hello. - Hello.
- This is Se Jong. - Hello.
You gained some weight.
- I'm not working these days. - You must've eaten a lot.
I've been eating a lot.
We don't have time to play. Hurry up and come in.
- Okay. I'm sorry. - Hurry up.
Let's take some time to catch up with each other.
Yes.
I really wanted to see you.
Yeon Seok spoke so highly of you.
You can ask me to do anything.
What are you good at?
I work hard.
I can do anything. I'll clean up.
- Anything. - Okay.
Later, we'll have one more person.
We can have a discussion later,
and we'll assign you roles based on your strengths.
Okay.
(Another part-timer arrives.)
She's here.
Hello.
- Hello, Ji Woo. - Hello.
- It's good to see you. - Hello.
This is Yang Se Jong.
- Hello. - Hello.
Choi Ji Woo, we haven't met, have we?
We said hello last time in the car.
- In the car? - In front of the cafe.
That was when he was really popular.
- Was he self-absorbed then? - What are you saying?
- No one was good enough for him. - What are you talking about?
That must be when you said hello.
He couldn't recognize anyone back then.
Come on.
He's Gu Dong Mae.
Nice to see you again.
You're doing such a nice thing.
- Thanks for coming. - It's nothing.
Let's have a meeting.
Let's sum up what we have to do today.
Here you go.
- We have to assign roles. - Yes.
Two employees have arrived.
The major parts are hall management...
and the kitchen assistant.
I'm willing to do anything.
Me, too.
I'll make bread in the morning.
- We have to do that together. - We'll do it together.
- Everyone is doing it. - Anyway...
- We're all doing it? - Everyone...
I just need one person to help me with the bread.
I only need one person to help.
- You have to do the dishes, too. - Of course.
You'll be the all-round player in the kitchen.
- Okay. - And Ji Woo...
can be the hall manager.
That means coffee or serving?
Take care of everything that happens outside.
Okay, got it.
We're going to donate everything we earn.
So the more we make,
the more we can donate. It's an opportunity for us.
(Son Ho Jun, barista and baker)
(Yoo Yeon Seok, main chef)
Can I take your order?
(Choi Ji Woo, hall manager)
(Yang Se Jong, all-round player)
(They've gotten together... But what will they sell?)
(We asked an expert.)
You have to simplify it.
Let's make the menu.
(Baek Jong Won, gave the coffee truck to Ho Jun and Yeon Seok,)
(Ho Jun's cooking teacher, created the menu for Coffee Friends)
Jam, French toast and stew. Let's try these three.
Let's use the flavors specific to Jeju Island.
Let's use black pig for the stew since black pig is famous there.
There's a famous Southeast Asian jam called kaya jam.
They use pandan leaves which have a unique smell.
If you add that, you get kaya jam.
- We'll use tangerines. - Okay.
- Let's make the jam first. - Okay.
(They wash their hands before cooking.)
Eggs.
(Recipe for jam mix eggs, coconut sugar, coconut milk)
Next, palm sugar.
Next, coconut milk.
And you mix it.
From here, it's going to take a long time.
(You have to stir for 50 minutes.)
It'll take a total of about 50 minutes.
You have to keep stirring.
Look, you got a layer at the bottom.
You have to keep stirring.
It's like you're scraping off the layers thoroughly.
- Okay. - Like this.
- Is it sour? - We need sour cream?
(After 20 minutes)
- Tangerine juice. - Yes.
Raise the temperature a bit and stir for 30 minutes.
(He can't rest for 50 minutes.)
You have to mix it well.
(After 30 minutes)
(After 40 minutes)
My arm is shaking.
Care.
(Care)
Once you're done with the cafe in Jeju Island,
you wouldn't even want to look at kaya jam.
- Jong Won, even now... - Even now?
I think it's done.
(The kaya jam is thick.)
It's done. Okay.
- It's done. - It's done.
We're making French toast.
(Melt butter in a pan.)
(French toast)
(Dip bread in mixture of eggs, milk, brown sugar, salt.)
It looks trivial, but it's really important.
Flip it over before it gets yellow.
Right.
- Like that. - Very good.
Right there.
(How will French toast with kaya jam look like?)
We're going to get black pig in Jeju Island.
There's no need to use the belly or neck.
The front or rear hock will be best.
And other ingredients are...
(Tomato, carrot, onion, celery, basil, ground garlic, paprika)
(Black pork tomato stew)
(Blanch the tomato in boiling water, peel, and dice.)
You're meticulous, not like I expected.
(Butter, ground garlic)
Pork.
(Onion, rear hock)
(Celery)
Keep stir-frying. Next, tomatoes.
(Tomatoes, whole tomatoes)
Next is carrots.
Add 2.5L of water.
(2.5L of water)
Right.
(Potatoes)
Bay leaves.
1, 2, 3, 4. About 4 to 5 leaves.
You'll cook it in advance, and when you get an order...
- you'll reheat it and serve it. - Yes.
It's best to cook it until it's about 85 percent done.
(How does the black pork tomato stew taste?)
(Sour cream)
(Black pork tomato stew)
(Tangerine chip)
(French toast and tangerine kaya jam)
(It's good.)
Here you go.
(It's good.)
It's delicious.
(It's really good.)
Should we order another one?
- It's really good. - I agree.
The toast is ready.
How does it look like?
This is dried.
We'll put one on top of the toast.
Okay, then. Where are the tangerines?
(Washing the tangerines is the most important thing.)
(Tangerine chip, wash in flowing water...)
(then rub with salt.)
(Wash again with baking soda and leave in water for 5 to 10 minutes.)
Let's leave it there for about five minutes.
Watch your hands.
It's like I'm cutting raw fish.
Awesome.
Shake it off like this.
- Okay. - Shake it and...
and wipe off the remaining water with this.
Okay.
Do we have to wipe off the water?
Yes. Come and help us.
Shake it off, and I'll wipe it.
Okay.
- Boss, you know what? - What?
- Isn't this a dryer? - It is.
Wouldn't it dry automatically if we put it in here?
That's true, but if there's a lot of water...
It doesn't work well?
Right, don't you think so?
Then we can dry it once before putting them on here.
And then we can put the tangerines on to dry them, can't we?
That's right.
- Right? - You should've...
This is a dryer,
and we're wiping with our hands.
I wanted to get rid of all the water.
I asked because it was weird.
You're right.
- Right? - I turned it on.
Put it on.
(Dry the dryer first.)
- I'm done with one tray. - Okay.
Should we do it now?
I thought we were drying this.
Wouldn't they dry together if you put them together?
You're right.
If you put them here, wouldn't they all dry?
You're right.
- Close the lid. - Okay.
This is amazing.
(Turn on the dryer and wait 12-17 hours.)
(Then the tangerine chips will be done.)
(It's time for Ho Jun to focus.)
(Making bread)
(He fights off sleepiness every morning to make them.)
Yeon Seok, how is the size for the bread?
- It's good. - Is it okay?
It's good.
(The basic ingredients for Coffee Friends' menu)
(Bread)
Be careful, it's hot.
(Made by Ho Jun)
(He's a baking student who went to Gangneung to find his recipe.)
You can't help it. You have to use your hands again.
(Kim Dong Il, Ho Jun's friend Owner of a bakery in Gangneung)
That's good enough.
Ho Jun tried it too, but it takes 4 hours to make 1 piece.
You ferment it, bake it...
- and shape it again. - Three and a half hours.
Yes, three and a half hours.
- The fermentation process... - It's a total of three times.
Right. So it takes up all the time.
(1st fermentation)
(2nd fermentation after fermenting in room temperature)
(Moisture and porosity increases with the fermentation.)
Roll the dough in your palms like you're rolling a ball.
(He goes back and forth from Gangneung to Gwacheon to practice.)
(Good job.)
The dough should be made well to make the shape pretty.
(Concentrating)
(The dough must be made well.)
(Fresh cream adds a soft texture and richer taste.)
Could you please open this for me?
Where? Here?
- The one on the bottom. - Okay.
Did you warm it up already?
Of course.
I did everything beforehand.
What is next on our itinerary?
We should go grocery shopping.
We need to go grocery shopping.
I have 45 minutes left for my dough.
We're in trouble.
45 minutes?
Then I'll wait here and...
You'll stay here alone?
I should watch my dough for now.
It's my first time making it by myself.
We'll be back soon.
(They set off to go grocery shopping.)
- We'll be back soon. - Okay.
(Ho Jun stays at the cafe with the bread.)
(He brings out the dough after the 1st fermentation.)
Gosh, this is too fermented.
This isn't good.
This has risen too much.
I wonder if I can succeed with this.
(He has to save the dough if they want to open tomorrow.)
Care.
(Please let me save this.)
Was the dough always this sticky?
(The dough continues to ferment even now.)
(The 2nd fermentation begins.)
(Gosh, I'm getting so anxious.)
(He moves the dough from the fermenter to the oven.)
(Bake for 18 minutes in a preheated oven.)
(The dough continues to rise.)
(It might burst if someone pokes it.)
(He might cry if someone pokes it.)
(The bread is fat.)
It rose too much.
(Oh, no.)
This is a complete failure.
(He tries to make it stand up.)
The bottom isn't cooked.
It isn't cooked.
I should hurry and do it again.
(Rewind to making dough)
- I think I can carry this. - Okay.
Ho Jun.
Hey, are you back?
Ho Jun, are you okay?
What should I do? I failed in baking the bread.
- Why? - Why?
The fermentation...
It didn't rise enough, right?
It rose too much.
- My goodness. - It can happen on your first time.
- That... - Is it inedible?
It isn't cooked through.
Try tasting the top.
Ho Jun, you should eat first.
Hey, it's really delicious.
- It's delicious, right? - Yes. This is...
This is really delicious. My gosh.
Is the bread done?
It's so delicious.
- Then it's good, isn't it? - It tastes delicious,
but the bottom isn't cooked.
- It tastes really good. - The temperature of the oven...
- wasn't even, so... - You made the bread.
- It's delicious. - It's really delicious.
Which part of it went wrong?
- It tastes good. - The bottom...
It tastes so good.
But we can't serve this.
We have to slice it to make a dish.
But we can eat them for ourselves.
I can succeed this time.
- I'm making it again. - This really tastes good.
Ho Jun.
Gosh, the bread didn't come out good.
It's okay.
You would be a professional baker if you succeeded on your first try.
I have to succeed in order for us to sell them tomorrow.
You can stay up all night to make it.
You're right. I can do it if I stay up all night.
The light is blinking.
(He checks the problematic 1st fermentation.)
You shouldn't do it like that.
- Am I supposed to do it like this? - Yes.
- You press it... - I press it?
and tighten it.
How did you do it so well?
Gosh, please.
Please.
I will succeed this time.
(Careful)
- You can do it. - You can do it.
(However, it doesn't look so good.)
(He must stay up all night if this rises too much too.)
I think it will be fine.
The bread is coming out.
Be careful.
Nice.
That's great.
(The bread successfully stands up.)
- Is it a success? - Yes.
It's a success?
My gosh.
Gosh, I'm so exhausted.
(Ho Jun's bread is born.)
Okay. Don't lose, Se Jong.
You can't lose, Se Jong.
- What did he say? - He said, "Don't lose, Se Jong".
(Se Jong's opponent...)
(is the tangerine kaya jam.)
(He can't go home today if he fails here.)
(When they were learning how to make the jam)
(He was stirring nonstop for 50 minutes.)
- It ended up like steamed eggs. - Yes.
It's fluffy. This is a failure.
You should do it again.
- Again? - Yes.
(The jam even made Ho Jun have a mental breakdown.)
Will stirring it for 50 minutes do?
I'm confident that I can do it for 50 minutes.
- 50 minutes. - No. You can't do it alone.
I tried it during "Temperature of Love".
You have to keep stirring it.
It clumps up if you stop.
(Humming)
He won't be able to do it by himself.
I'm fine for now.
- Okay. - Okay.
(10 minutes after starting to stir the jam)
(There's no difference.)
(They switch places.)
I'll switch with you, Ji Woo.
I think it's starting to boil now. Now... Now, we need to...
I think this is the beginning of the crucial stage. What should I do?
- It's been 20 minutes, right? - Yes.
Is it becoming thicker?
It's no joke. If I stop for even a moment...
Think of it as a mixture of mixed grain powder.
What should I do now?
- Keep stirring for now. - Am I doing it right?
Yes, you're doing it right.
Are you sure I'm doing it right? I'm worried that this might lump up.
- It's okay, right? - Yes, you're doing fine.
(The snaps of his wrists come from failure and practice.)
This doesn't feel so good.
But I did my best.
- Of course. - Then why...
Are you sure you can lift it?
It's heavy, right?
Just a minute. No, just a second.
It's done.
40 minutes have passed already.
- You have 10 minutes left. - Yes, only 10 more minutes.
Don't lose, Se Jong.
You can't lose, Se Jong.
(He stirs it like mixing mixed grain powder.)
It's been 50 minutes.
- Is it done? - Let me try.
(Chef Yoo does a final check.)
- I think it's done. - Is it done?
- Success? - Yes.
(Se Jong succeeds in making the tangerine kaya jam.)
Gosh, Se Jong. You did such a great job.
- I agree. - Making jam is really hard.
- It took about 40 minutes. - Yes, it took about 40 minutes.
- Of course. - Gosh, it's delicious.
This is great.
It really tastes good.
You made this. You did it.
Se Jong's jam.
(Se Jong's tangerine jam)
- Shall we go? - Okay.
It's done. My gosh.
(Opening day, 6:50am)
Good morning.
(Ho Jun came early to finish the bread.)
Good job.
I feel so good.
(He's the first to start this special morning.)
Okay.
(Ho Jun starts preparing the first bread to serve.)
(It's the sound Ho Jun makes as he arrives to work.)
- Ho Jun. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Look at this.
- Did you bring those? - Yes.
(Ji Woo bought pretty aprons.)
- Applause. - No.
Stop doing that.
Does this look good?
Do you guys like it?
When did you prepare these?
- Okay. - Are you ready?
- You look great. - That's it.
- It accentuates your waist. - Gosh.
(Yeon Seok needs to prepare the ingredients for the stew.)
About this big.
You cut meat really well.
- I am not good. - It's hard to cut meat.
(This is what he went through to get the delicate chopping skill.)
First,
(He tests the knives to see which is best.)
I will try using the bread knife.
(Bread knife)
I will use a regular kitchen knife.
(Regular kitchen knife)
(Paring knife)
(Delicately practicing with the knives was just the beginning.)
I think this is the best.
- Se Jong, has this been washed? - Yes, I washed it.
(He meticulously checks it again.)
(Even when he cracks eggs,)
(he meticulously checks to see if there are shells inside.)
It's all good, sir.
(He's not disturbed by what others say.)
(Cleaning is like second nature to Meticulous Yeon Seok.)
(It's spotless.)
It makes a little than 20 servings.
The maximum would be about 25 servings.
The front or rear hock will be best.
Sirloin is better, but it's...
(His cooking skills shine on Coffee Friends.)
- Here's the French toast. - Okay.
It's delicious.
- It's delicious. - It's really delicious.
Why is this so touching?
(Please be excited for Chef Yoo's brunch.)
(Se Jong's to-do list)
(He's looking for things to do.)
Are you looking for things to do?
(Are you looking for things to do?)
Can you do this then?
Right. This. We did it yesterday.
- I need to peel them. - The water is boiling there.
When the water boils, I pop them in and blanch for 30 seconds.
That's right.

Do you want me to open the door?

It's 9:20am.
He keeps adding an hour.
Don't do that.
Stop surprising me.
I was sprinkling flour,
and my legs suddenly became weak.
I was so surprised.
(It's 2 hours before the opening.)
(The hall manager...)
(starts getting busy.)
(Setting the hall, Step 1)
(Decorate with fresh tangerines.)
Is it clean? Is it all right?

- Did you make that? - Yes.
Incredible.

(They're slowly getting ready to meet their customers.)
I am taking out the bread.
It's hot.
It's hot. It's hot.

(He coats the top with butter.)
How lovely you are.
(The fermentation, baking, and shape are all good.)
The bread looks lovely, doesn't it?
It smells incredible.

It's got the beautiful shine.

(Let's take a look around the cafe.)
(It's surrounded by the 9,900m² tangerine orchard.)
(It's an empty space.)
(There are more tangerines than people here.)
(How will they make people come?)
I don't think anyone will come.
We might miserably fail.
We might not have customers.
Nobody knows about this place.
We have to go around and promote the cafe.
Let's decide how we will do that.
(What solution did they come up with?)
We have to promote the cafe.
We can distribute flyers.
Let's hand them out to people.
I brought a polaroid camera.
We can use it to either take photos of the space...
- Or the people. - or the people.
We can put the address in the bottom.
We can also write the opening time.
Take a photo of me working hard.
Okay. 1, 2.
All right.
(1 hour and 30 minutes before the opening, they start the shoot.)
You should turn your head when I call you.
Call me, Ji Woo.
Ho Jun.
Great. I got it.
- Did you get it? - I got it.
You look like a tangerine orchard owner.
Okay.
- You look like a farm boy. - Here.
(Later, these photos will...)
(serve as the foundation...)
(to bring in the first customers.)
(Like this.)
We opened a charity cafe.
We're open until 4pm. It's a brunch cafe.
We will make you coffee and food.
You can enjoy the food without pressure.

- Go get customers, Gu Dong Mae﻿. - Gu Dong Mae﻿.
He needs to do something.
Should I wear the bread knife and go?
I use a knife too.
But I don't slay cows or pigs. I slay something else, My Lady.
(Did Gu Dong Mae, the Bread Slayer, open a brunch cafe?)
We got customers. There they are.
- Where? - Really?
Where?
(They pass through the sunny tangerine orchard.)
(It's a baby customer.)
Hello.

You can take your time.
I'll be back later.
We just opened today.
We're still new to this.

Do you think I can bring all these four now?
You need more time, right?
(Thyme)
Bring that first.
Here's the stew.

Do you still need more time for the drip coffee?
It will be here soon.
(Serving drip coffee)

(Se Jong is Ho Jun's coffee-making assistant now.)
(Two spoonfuls just as Ho Jun said)
(Se Jong walks away.)
(Why is he blending there?)
(This room is...)
Don't do it alone. You'll hurt your back.
No, I can take care of it.
- Let me do it. - No.
I'm not tired at all. I like it now.
I'm really fine.
Nice. Oh, yes.
(This is Se Jong's dish-washing room.)
(It's also Se Jong's fitness room.)
(It's Se Jong's private cafe too.)
(It's his dishtowel fitting room.)
(It can be a coffee-grinding room.)
You need to blend it one more time.
(At the same time, Ho Jun is...)
- It's three dollars. - Here are your iced lattes.
- Oh, my. - Where shall I serve this?
- It looks really delicious. - Over here.
- Thank you. - Please tell me...
- if you need syrup. - Okay.
It's a paper straw.
It's good.
Are you on vacation?
We work at the international school nearby.
- Really? - Yes.
Did you have lunch?
No.
We didn't know you served food here,
and we came too late.
We don't have time to eat, so we're just having coffee.
Oh, really?
You don't have much time, but the drip coffee takes a while.
- That's okay. - I'm sorry.
We'll make it as fast as possible.
You can pick the tangerines over there and eat them.
You can try picking them.
- I see. - Yes.
Should I pick some and give it to them?
- One by one. - I picked these over there.
Try them while you're waiting.
Have one each.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
You must know this.
You can tell if someone is native to Jeju Island...
- by the way they peel a tangerine. - I heard that too.
- How? - In half...
- How did you know? - Let me see that.
The kids told me.
If you peel it like this, you're either from Seoul.
You're from Jeju Island?
They must be fresh since they were just picked.
It's fresh.
(Meanwhile, the second portion of coffee beans arrive.)
It smells good.
- Is it ready? - This came out first.
(Coffee Friends, ice hand-drip coffee with a savory flavor)
I ordered iced coffee, and I got a hot one.
Oh, I see.
Warm drinks are better for you.
What do you mean?
I'll have an ice coffee.
- Ice coffee? - If it's possible.
If it's all done, I'll just have it.
- It's possible. - Thank you.
(Quick after-sales service)
I'm sorry it came out so late.
Thank you.
Are you moving after Christmas?
Before. My house is until Christmas.
The coffee is good.
Starbucks has buy 1, get 1 free event today, but I came here.
But the coffee is good.
The coffee is really good.
Oh, thank you.
It takes a while, doesn't it?
It's okay.
It's hard to grind every time.
I heard grinding with your hands...
is really different from grinding with a machine.
That's why it was so good.
The coffee is good.
(The reason why the coffee is good)
The place is really well decorated.
It says, "Since 2019."
Since we're on that topic, what are your plans for next year?
I think there will be many changes next year.
I want to take time off from work.
- It's just a wish, isn't it? - I want to study.
Study?
Didn't you want to go to Germany?
You're fulfilling your dreams.
It'll be hard at school without you.
But I wish you well since it's your dream.
- I hope you get to go. - Me, too.
It's like I forgot about work...
and took a trip.
For 15 minutes?
It's 15 minutes of happiness for us.
It's so nice.
Let's take the afternoon off.

It's all over...
Don't get flustered.
(Just grind some more.)
(She feels bad for him,)
(but it's also funny.)
How many spoonfuls?
- Two spoonfuls. - And just grind?
I'll grind for you.
(Coffee grinder)
(Coffee beans)
(Novice)
How do you grind it?
Just put it in?
One moment. You have to take it out.
(When things don't work out)
Se Jong.
How much do you put in? I'll grind it.

(Exactly two spoonfuls)
Gosh.
(The difficult road for hand-drip coffee)

Oh, really?
- Should I grind more? - Yes, just one more.
(Never-ending world of hand-drip)
(Turning into ice coffee)
(While the coffee aroma is spreading...)
(the kitchen assistant is doing his job, too.)
(Ready to cook stew)
(The chef appears last.)
(The assistant and chef work together.)
(Broccoli)
(Five pieces)
(Stir well)
(The assistant's next job is to prepare the toast for the stew.)
(Sets at two minutes)
(Calculating the time for the stew and toast)
(Stew)
(Toast)
(And the assistant)
(Meanwhile, the outdoor seats)
- It's hot. - Me, too.
(It's hot outside.)
Should we change seats?
You must be hot.
The back of my head is burning.
- Huh? - The black pork stew is ready.
One second, yes.
- Thank you. - This should...
Are you okay? Do you want to go in?
- The sun... - Let's go in.
Right? Let's go in.
Oh, yes.
(They return to the bar seat.)
Do you dip the bread?
Yes, you can dip it or wet it.
Ho Jun made it early this morning.
Really?
Try the bread.
(It's good.)
- Here's the ice coffee. - Thank you.
(Coffee Friends, ice hand-drip coffee, savory flavor)
(Addicted to the stew)
It's really good.
How is the coffee?
I haven't tried it yet.
- You haven't? - No.
(An unexpected answer)
It's good.
Try it.
Is it good?
- Is it strong? - Yes.
- It's good. - Isn't it?
(Unexpected sunlight)
This is...
Wherever you go, the sun is...
There's no way to block the sun.
(The owner is getting nervous.)
Should we put an umbrella over them?
Like that?
They must be hot.
Move over.
(Meanwhile, in the kitchen)
The toast isn't selling.
I know. The toast is good.
Should we try to sell it?
(He moves suspiciously.)
- Have you had lunch? - No, we haven't had lunch yet.
You haven't had lunch?
Our toast is good. The French toast.
(Hearing the owner selling the French toast...)
His French toast is really good.
I whisked it last night for 50 minutes.
It's tangerine kaya jam. It's really delicious.
Should we eat that too?
I think it would be good.
- Can we get this too then? - Sure. Sure you can.
It must be good.
The toast... I will make it now.
(A slice of butter 1cm thick)
(2 slices of bread are coated in the egg mixture.)
Condensed milk?
(20g of condensed milk)
It's amazing.
(Tangerine kaya jam)
(Powdered sugar)
(He checks it.)
Try the toast.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
This is the sauce, isn't it?
It's the jam.
Try it. I will dip it in the jam.
It's delicious.
You made the jam from scratch, didn't you?
We did. Nowhere else in Korea sells this.
It's tangerine kaya jam.
It tastes a bit like coconut.
Right.
- Chef? - Yes?
What is the history behind the jam?
The history?
This is popular in Singapore.
It's got coconut milk and palm sugar.
We tweaked it by adding grated tangerine.
It's got the hint of tangerine.
What do you think? Is it okay?
- It's delicious. - It's really delicious.
- Is it delicious? - Isn't it tough to make this?
You have to keep stirring it.
How do you know?
I heard it just now.
It's very difficult to make.
(He's looking up kaya jam)
It's Singapore's most popular breakfast food.
They are eating. Stop talking to them.
I felt like I didn't do a good job explaining to them earlier.
Did you enjoy the food?
- Yes, it was delicious. - Thank you.
I never imagined our trip was going to turn out like this.
I think this is the happiest moment of this year.
(The first donation is made.)
I will get it for you.
On the way out,
you can pick some tangerines and take them.
- Really? - Yes, of course.
Daddy?
If you want, I will give you a basket and tools.
Wear these gloves.
Let's go.
(It's the baby's very first tangerine picking.)
Try touching it.
You can hold it.
Here. Now hold Daddy's hand.
Hold my hand.
Let's go. Here.
Let's go.
Did you try picking the tangerines?
You got a lot.
Hello. Hello, baby.
Did you enjoy the food?
Thank you. Thank you...

You don't want to leave?
Come again tomorrow.
Come again.
Please tell your friends about it.
Bye. Thank you.
(Lunch time is always short.)
By the way,
we don't have any more customers.
Don't say that in front of our customers.
I mean...
How can you say that we don't have customers?
(Feeling embarrassed, he looks into the distance.)
- We were worried it'd get too busy. - Right.
If you have time,
can you make me a cup of iced coffee?
Iced coffee.
If the owner asks, I have to make it.
Do you want a cup of iced Americano too, Se Jong?
I love you, Ho Jun.
(Ho Jun makes coffee for the owner and the staff.)
- Se Jong. - Yes?
(He delivers coffee to Se Jong, who's in the dishwashing room.)

Welcome.
Hello. You are here.
Hello.
Ho Jun. Ho Jun.
- Yes? - Please serve the customers.
Please sit wherever you like.
Where do you want me to put the baby chair?
I think it would be hot there.
Hello.
(People of his age love babies.)
You haven't eaten, have you?
We serve food too.
Take your time and look at the menu.
- Okay. - Okay.
(She concentrates on making the juice.)
Please tell me if you need a straw.

Look at Daddy. I am right here.
I am right here.
- Hey. Daddy is here. - She wants to go to him.
Darling? Darling, Daddy is here.
How can you completely turn your body?
(Meanwhile, Yeon Seok starts cooking the French toast.)
(The key is to flip it before it burns.)
(He hasn't had a sip of his coffee.)
- The toast is ready. - Thank you.
- Your toast arrived first. - Okay.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Gosh, this is really soft.
- Do you want to give her some? - Sure.

I thought you would never greet me.
- Is she friendly to others? - Yes.
- Wink. - Wink.
She's so cute.
Eat up.
(He finally drinks a sip of coffee.)
(She thinks something is wrong.)
They just got their toast, right?
- We ordered toast too. Shall I ask? - Yes.
(He senses something.)
What?
A toast was served.
Didn't they order a toast too?
(She freezes.)
Did you order food?
We ordered a toast.
We're so sorry.

Could this be...
- My goodness. - Gosh, we're so sorry.
I'm sorry.
- It's okay. - I'm sorry.
It's not out yet.

(She's busy apologizing.)
Excuse me, do we need a straw for this?
- Pardon? - This tangerine juice...
Excuse me?
Do we need a straw for the tangerine juice?
Sorry?
- Are you okay? - Oh, my gosh.
(Pause)
Ho Jun, you should help over there.
Okay.
No, don't come here. It's better to stay away.
Don't come.
- Don't come. - Just this...
Wait. I'll do this too.
No, don't come. It's better if I do this alone.
(At that time,)
(an endless line of people...)
(visit the cafe.)
Welcome.
How many people are there? Are there five of you?
Hello.
- Are you all here together? - Yes.
(The orders pile up.)
(Mistakes continue.)
(They lose their minds.)
Table One ordered another stew.
(We have a big problem.)
Would you like to order?
- The menu... - I forgot to bring the menu.
Just a moment.
We're so sorry for being late.
Just a moment. Then...

Do you have any plans to buy a dishwasher?
But we have you now.
- The human dishwasher. - Hey.
