(Kang's Kitchen 2)
(It was the 2nd day of opening.)
Let's start the day.
(Cheers, everyone.)
(The customers swarmed in as soon as it opened.)
(Celebrating Children's Day, a family came too.)
(The orders got piled up like crazy.)
(The number of order slips equals the number of kimchi fried rice.)
(The new dish kimchi fried rice got sold out as soon as it came out.)
(People loved kimchi fried rice.)
(They said kimchi fried rice is the best.)
(The noodle maker just kept cleaning his station.)
(The noodles are not popular.)
(People are not ordering garak guksu.)
(Boss Kang got perplexed.)
(The dining hall was hectic because of all the customers.)
(My gosh. Su Geun.)
(We can't handle it. Come into the dining hall.)
(The new staff P.O was befuddled too.)
(Jae Hyeon, I am completely befuddled.)
My gosh.
(Everyone was befuddled at Kang's Kitchen.)
Everything is going smoothly now.
Little by little.
Don't be flustered.
(Kang's Kitchen Family Member 1)
That's not it. Wait.
(This is Boss Kang who doesn't get flustered.)
(The entire dough is one giant strand of noodle.)
I pressed the "make noodles" button by accident.
I should've pressed the rolling button.
This is regular.
But this might even taste better because it was cut once.
(Kang's Kitchen Family Member 2)
Every man has a job that suits him.
(Lee Su Geun. His job is being Lee Su Geun.)
We are in trouble. We don't have enough chopsticks.
- I put them all there. - They are 4 or 5.
I already put them there.
- Where? - They are all there.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
(Kang's Kitchen Family Member 3 And 4)
Here's nurungji bingsu.
Thank you.
(They are in charge of serving customers from start to end.)
Why is the quality of ice so good today?
Ji Won, the ice for patbingsu...
is really nice today.
(Mr. Bingsu loves it.)
Do you want to do it?
- Should I do it? - Yes. I will check the dining hall.
Thank you.
Do you want me to move it to that side?
Thank you.
Say thank you.
(Mr. Cookie and Mr. Bingsu from Team Dessert)
(Kang's Kitchen Family Member 5 And 6)
(In the kitchen...)
(Rice cake, batter, crab meat, fish cake, spinach, perilla leaf,)
(carrot, beet, sweet potato, scallion, quail egg, and sauces)
(He hasn't lost himself.)
Five.
Three parts onion.
(This is how he looks when he is concentrated on cooking.)
3 parts onion and 1 part scallion.
One part green vegetables.
A heaping amount.
(Ahn Jae Hyeon the Workaholic)
(We hope to see him being extremely cheerful in the kitchen.)
Did you add everything?
- Both? - Yes.
(P.O is in charge of cooking the new dish, kimchi fried rice.)
The kimchi fried rice is done.
Hello.
(When the other staffs are busy, he serves food to the table too.)
Where is Table Four?
Table Four is the table with the couple.
- The couple. The couple. - The couple.
- Here's your kimchi fried rice. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
It's the new dish.
I am sorry. I will cook it fast.
It was my first time to go outside.
(He experienced what it's like to be a dining hall staff.)
It was my first time to serve food to customers.
(Family's teamwork)
- What are you doing? - Take this to the food waste bin.
- Put it down then. - Take this.
Here it is. Take this.
- Hurry up. - Take this?
(Family conversation)
Are you used to cooking kimchi fried rice now?
- You're used to it now, aren't you? - I am.
- Cook it to me later at home. - Okay.
(The conversation ends.)
(2pm, 2 hours after the opening)
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
(Kang's Kitchen is still busy.)
The noodles are so unpopular today, aren't they?
Nobody is ordering the noodles.
I miss noodle loving customers now.
Standing idly is the hardest thing to do.
(Garak guksu isn't popular today.)
Standing idly is worse than moving busily.
(Why is nobody ordering garak guksu?)
Tteokbokki with quatro fries. Medium spiciness.
Kimchi Fried Rice Is Blossoming.
What should we eat?
- I want tteokbokki. - Tteokbokki?
(Tteokbokki with quatro fries is the main dish.)
(Jjajang tteokbokki is the niche dish.)
(The new dish, kimchi fried rice is...)
People are going crazy over the kimchi fried rice.
They are going crazy over the kimchi fried rice.
They are asking who made it.
Kimchi fried rice is so popular...
that kalguksu is completely neglected.
It's not kalguksu.
(Garak guksu has slightly low presence.)
I think we chose the wrong season.
Right?
It suddenly became too hot.
If it was slightly colder,
- It'd become instantly popular. - they would've gone for noodles.
(Today's highest temperature is 29.8°C.)
It's hot.
(The customers were surprised by the unexpected heat too.)
Why is it so hot?
(Boss Kang sighs.)
- We got an order. - Okay.
1 tteokbokki with quatro fries, 1 garak guksu,
and 1 kimchi fried rice.
I can't blame it on the weather.
I should impress people with its flavor.
(Flavor of garak guksu)
(8 kinds of ingredient)
(The broth is cooked for at least 2 hours.)
(The dough is kneaded with feet and hands.)
(It may look humble,)
(but it is made with hard work.)
(It takes efforts as big as this man's face.)
(It's finished with crown daisy, fried tofu, and scallion.)
(Garak guksu is ready to be served.)
Garak guksu for Table One.
(He shouts it and serves it himself.)
I brought it out.
This is garak guksu.
Crown daisy, fried tofu, and scallion.
It's got ground sesame seeds too. Try it.
- Enjoy. - Okay.
- We like kalguksu. - Our family loves noodles.
This is what our family likes.
I am excited to try it.
Do you like it? I like it.
You know the noodles with crown daisy, right? That's how it tastes.
I have to be careful. The noodles are...
(She loves it.)
- It's hand-kneaded. - It's delicious.
- It's very chewy. - Really?
It's obvious that it's been hand-kneaded.
Welcome.
It's delicious.
Mr. Baek Jong Won wrote that they make amazing noodles here.
Yes.
(Kang's Kitchen makes amazing noodles.)
(April 2019, Park Jong Won. It's not Baek Jong Won.)
The noodles are very special.
They are as chewy as jjolmyeon.
(She loves it.)
- Is it delicious? - The noodles are delicious.
The noodles are very chewy.
- The noodles are delicious. - Yes.
(He tries the broth.)
- Try the broth. - The broth is delicious.
I prefer garak guksu to tteokbokki.
Garak guksu is delicious. Right, honey?
Garak guksu is better, isn't it?
It's delicious.
(He's touched by garak guksu.)
- Excuse me. - One more garak guksu, please.
You want an additional order of garak guksu.
The patbingsu is delicious, isn't it?
Ji Won and MINO made it.
It's gourmet patbingsu.
(Kangbokki)
(This restaurant clearly specializes in patbingsu.)
Do you want the dessert?
(They are proud of it.)
- 1 bingsu? - No, 1 Sprite.
One Sprite. You see, we make really delicious bingsu.
- Really? - Yes.
I think the second bingsu will need a bit of time.
I will make it alone then.
(The divided the tasks.)
- Bingsu for Table Five is ready. - Okay.
(When he's done with one, he starts with another right away.)
I will change the gloves for hygiene.
(He cooked the red bean topping himself.)
(Locally-made injolmi)
(Savory roasted soybean powder)
(Sweet chestnut)
(Homemade tuile: Cracker baked with pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds)
(Cookie baked yesterday)
I made it myself.
Really? Even this?
I made everything except for the glass.
We made everything except for the bowl.
- I love your line. - What?
"We made everything except for the bowl."
"We made everything except for the glass."
Here's nurungji patbingsu.
We call it "nurungji patbingsu"...
because you have to scrap the bottom as if you are eating nurungji.
It's fine. It's fine.
Is there nurungji in the bottom?
It's not really nurungji.
We coated the bottom with caramel syrup.
It gives nice texture,
and it keeps the bingsu warm... I don't mean "warm".
It makes the bingsu last longer.
We made everything except for the glass.
- Thank you. - It's handmade patbingsu.
- Yes, it's handmade. - What does he mean by "glass"?
He means the bowl.
("Glass" might confuse people.)
(People are not used to tuile.)
(She on guard for now.)
Try it.
It's delicious.
(The tuile passes the test.)
- Is it good? - It's good.
(The cookie passes the test.)
I love injolmi.
(Injolmi passes the test.)
- It's really delicious. - Let me have a bite.
(The tuile passes his test too.)
- It's really good, isn't it? - It tastes like sugar.
I am glad we ordered it.
It's delicious. Have a seat. Don't get too excited. Sit.
I can't reach it well.
Pull your chair forward.
- Bingsu is delicious. - It's good, isn't it?
It's delicious.
(3:15pm. They've been working standing up for 8 hours.)
My soles hurt too much.
Are you all right, Jae Hyeon?
- What? Did you call me? - Are you all right there?
My mind went blank for a while.
It now feels like we are shooting Kang's Kitchen.
This is Kang's Kitchen.
My back hurts. My back hurts, and we are not getting orders.
There are no customers right now.
Welcome. Are you two?
- Yes. - Please have a seat here.
- Hello. - Hello. Welcome.
You got a baby. Will you be able to sit down?
- I will be okay. - Hello.
- New orders are in. - Okay.
1 tteokbokki with quatro fries and 1 kimchi fried rice.
(P.O starts cooking kimchi fried rice.)
(Cheese goes into the kimchi fried rice.)
(The cheese is hidden in the rice.)
(Sprinkling sesame seeds)
(Garnishing with seaweed flakes)
(With corn salad on the side, it's ready to be served.)
- Do you need any help, Jae Hyeon? - Not yet.
- How are you doing, P.O? - What?
Do you need any help? Is everything going well?
- Yes. I am fine. - It's getting better and better.
(After many tries,)
(he's getting better and better.)
- It looks better. - It's improving.
Look at the cheese.
- This is good too. - Yes.
(Jae Hyeon's specialty dish is tteokbokki with quatro fries.)
(He fries vegetables with 4 different colors.)
(Quatro fries are done.)
(When the red tteokbokki is cooked well,)
(it's transferred to a plate.)
(Then it's topped with the lovely quatro fries.)
That looks delicious.
What's the table number?
(She's most impressed.)
The fries are delicious.
- This? Really? - You want it, don't you?
(She loves it.)
They cook well.
Right. I have a good idea.
I have a good idea, Boss Kang.
Tomorrow, let's not come here.
Let's take the machine and head to Gyeongju IC.
- What do you say? - You'll sell it at the rest stop.
I think we can sell 500 bowls a day there.
(How Boss Kang Feels When His Noodles Aren't Selling, Part One)
It's tiring, but in a different way.
(Kang Ho Dong, 50, noodle maker)
Even if you are not busy, it's still tiring.
When you are busy, you are tired, but you also feel good.
When you are not busy, you are still tired, and you feel bad.
There are no dirty dishes to wash. No dirty dishes.
Thank you for washing the dishes.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Are these dirty? - Thank you.
I will get them cleaned right away.
Why is there so much chili powder on this small plate?
It's because people use...
- this plate to eat. - That's right.
Isn't this plate really lovely?
How about "Beggar Kang"? Why don't we call him that on Season Three?
He begs for dirty dishes.
Why don't people order the noodles? They are not full, and it's so good.
- I can't understand it. - They don't know the flavor.
This machine is like a new car.
It's like it's only run 10km.
It should've run well over 10,000km.
(While Ho Dong is comforting himself with a laughter...)
Do you want dessert?
- You want to order noodles? - No, we ordered it a while ago.
- Did you? - Yes.
I am sorry. I am sorry.
Ho Dong, why aren't you making the noodles?
What? The order was never placed.
A lady says she ordered noodles.
When?
- Table One. - I wasn't informed.
- Why isn't it here? - It's there.
It's not there.
- Here's the order for garak guksu. - What?
- Were you just slacking? - My goodness.
You should've checked it with me. You should've asked what it was.
I got distracted because they kept talking to me. I am sorry.
Tell her I will give her a double serving of delicious noodles.
I'm afraid there's been a misunderstanding.
We are going to cook it right away.
He's going to give you a double serving of delicious noodles.
- We can't eat a lot. - You can't eat a lot.
We will then cook it as fast as we can with our best efforts.
All right.
The kitchen became lively once again.
Let's cook some noodles.
Let's lift up the energy by 10 percent.
(He's lively.)
Let's lift up the energy.
(He becomes lively too.)
Hygiene comes first.
I told her what you told me.
I told her that we will make her a double serving, but she's full.
Right. She wants it to be a normal serving then.
- She just wants it fast. - She wants it fast.
(Noodles)
Add love to it. Love.
(Flavoring soy sauce with love)
Ho Dong, do your very best.
(The noodles are cooked well.)
The noodles are...
Sometimes...
(He garnishes it with generous amount of his signature toppings.)
(He sprinkles pepper, chili powder, and sesame seed powder.)
This is really hot. This is really hot.
Be careful. This is really hot.
You know it's hot, right?
This is your additional order... No.
You eat the greens.
I am hungry, so you eat the greens.
(She wanted to eat a double serving.)
I think people are not ordering noodles today.
(She's precisely right. Garak guksu is very unpopular today.)
(She's impressed.)
It's good.
I want to get some more noodles.
(She wanted a double serving, but her friend refused.)
It's delicious.
It's delicious. It's delicious.
You said you couldn't eat it.
You refused to get a double serving.
(Laughing)
It's delicious.
(How Boss Kang Feels When His Noodles Aren't Selling, the End)
- Boss. - Yes?
Can't you hire a part-timer?
- No. - No.
- The kitchen isn't that busy. - Is that right?
Thank you for everything.
(Ji Won is funny.)
(There is a small problem.)
Here's your bingsu.
Table 4 ordered 1 more. I mean Table 3.
- Table 3 ordered 1 more bingsu? - Yes.
Can you make more patbingsu?
(It's nearly sold out.)
I can make two more.
It was hiding here. Gosh.
(Reason 1. Lack of bowls)
We are running out of red bean topping.
(Reason 2. Not enough red bean topping)
1 more bingsu for Table 1.
- Not now. - Okay.
Wait. I don't think it's possible to make one more bingsu.
You can't make one?
I can make one more,
but it's for another table. Table Four.
I am so sorry,
but bingsu is sold out for now.
It's sold out.
(The menu board is flipped.)
It's sold out.
This is today's special.
(They will be serving today's special instead.)
Is it all right if we give you that instead?
Let's try the new dish.
Just serve the two for free.
For free? Should we serve it for free all day today?
Only the ones who ordered them now.
They originally ordered bingsu, but they couldn't have it.
When others order it, we have to charge them.
(I am the boss here, you see.)
- Did they order patbingsu? - But it was sold out.
(Boss Kang doesn't know what goes on in Kang's Cafe.)
(This morning)
This is today's special.
(Team Dessert prepared a new dish in case patbingsu gets sold out.)
How about this?
When you think of children, you think of their innocence.
Adults can have it too. Hidden under the mask...
of adulthood, there's child's innocence.
Mask?
(He was present even this time.)
This ice cream will make them a child once again.
So we will call it "kkotdongsim".
- Kkotdongsim ice cream? - Yes.
"Kkotdongsim ice".
"Ice Kkotdongsim".
(That's how it's born.)
(Let us introduce the new dish.)
(Aside from the flavors of patbingsu toppings,)
(it's got many other flavors and colors.)
(It's Ice Kkotdongsim.)
- It's delicious. - How much is it?
There was no price for this.
Bingsu is sold out.
Instead of bingsu, there's today's special.
- What is it? - It's ice cream.
It's called "Ice Kkotdongsim". Today's Children's Day,
so it will bring back child's innocence.
How much is it?
It's...
(The price is...)
It's a dollar.
- It's delicious. - Is it good?
It's perfect.
It's delicious.
- Is it good? - Yes.
- Isn't it good? - It's good.
- New orders. - Okay.
1 jjajang tteokbokki, 1 garak guksu, 1 kimchi fried rice,
and kkotdongsim...
What?
Rib eye?
- Are we serving rib eye? - What is that?
Perhaps they came...
- to a wrong restaurant? - What is kkotdongsim?
Did you make a mistake? Ice Kkotdongsim?
What is Ice Kkotdongsim?
That's a dessert.
It's a dessert, he says.
Rib eye is the dessert?
It's the restaurant that serves rib eye as a dessert.
It's the restaurant with class.
This is Ice Kkotdongsim.
(He speaks with class at the restaurant with class.)
Since you are a couple...
We are not.
You are not? I am sorry for assuming you are.
(He keeps a poker face.)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
They become one.
- I see. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
The cookie is in the shape of their mascot.
- "Mysterious". - Right.
- The stuffed toy. - Thank you. Enjoy.
(How Boss Kang Feels When His Noodles Aren't Selling, Part Two)
- It feels... - What?
People should know how it tastes.
- It's fine. - I guess it is.
The weather is too hot.
I know. We have to blame the weather.
It's got enough competitive edge.
- My noodles are delicious. - Cheer up.
Cheer up, Team Noodles.
- It's too hot for hot broth. - The weather is?
Yes. There's nothing we can do about it.
It has nothing to do with its flavor.
It's similar to selling heat packs in Africa.
- Su Geun. - Yes.
Team Noodles. Let's come up with a new dish...
and turn things around tomorrow.
If it was up to me...
I think these noodles would make the best jjolmyeon ever existed.
They would be really delicious as kong guksu too.
- Kong guksu would be amazing. - Right?
I think we need to bring Mr. Baek here.
Think about it. What season is it?
It's summer here.
It'd be really difficult to turn this into cold guksu.
But if it's cold,
the noodles would be extremely chewy.
It would get even chewier than now.
Will you be rinsing the noodles in cold water then?
(He packs broth to take it to the lodging.)
(Boss Kang makes noodles and packs them too.)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Bye. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Bye. Take care.
The restaurant is closed.
Yes!
It's closed.
As your boss, for the welfare of the staffs,
I suggest we have a delicious dinner on the way to our lodging.
If you don't like that idea,
we could also get food delivered to our place.
It will be my treat.
I'd rather eat at our place.
- You want to get food delivered. - Yes.
I can't get food from a restaurant...
because I feel bad.
He's right.
It's better to cook and wash the dishes ourselves.
The family members of Kang's Kitchen have warm hearts.
And it warms my heart to know it.
(It was a very warm day indeed.)
Well done, everyone.
By the way, Su Geun,
it'd be nice if our restaurant is busier.
But I learned something new.
Even if your food is good, if it's not sold,
you would feel really bad.
And cooking delicious food...
doesn't mean your restaurant would become popular.
You need three factors for your restaurant to become a success.
Just selling good food isn't enough.
What are the three factors of success?
I only know one.
- Good food is a must. - Good food is a must.
The food has to be good.
- You need luck. - You need luck.
- Right. Right. - You need luck.
(You have to get lucky with weather.)
What do you want to do for dinner?
Why don't we order some fried chicken and have a simple meal?
- We will order them. - Yes.
No. No. Let's have a grand meal.
Let's not have a simple meal.
But you have to do that too.
You have to knead dough.
We have to make red bean topping.
- When we finish eating... - I have to cook for six hours.
When we finish eating, we will feel sluggish.
I have to cook red bean topping for six hours.
(We have a lot of work.)
- So you want a simple dinner? - Yes.
Today's not the day for a big feast. You alone are very excited.
(Sighing)
He deserves some comfort though.
(Hold on a moment)
(The ice cream to comfort you is almost ready.)
Thanks, I needed sugar anyway.
(We don't hate.)
(It's a happy kitchen.)
(Patting)
I thought the noodles would sell well.
(Upset)
I mean it.
They keep saying it can't cover the cost of the machine.
I'll buy the machine off you after we're done.
(I'll pay for the machine.)
I feel too bad.
I'm sorry, so I'll buy it.
(It's Ho Dong's lucky day.)
(Let's go home.)
(Dialing)
(While developing new menu, they make a call to someone.)
(He's ready to take note.)
He must be busy.
- Yes, sir. - Did he answer?
What is he writing?
I'm supposed to write "beep, beep", right?
The receiver cannot be reached...
(They try again.)
- Now, it works. - Hello?
- Sir. - Hello?
(Mr, Baek, our master, our savior, and our oasis)
(He is on a business trip, so it was hard to get ahold of him.)
- Hey. - It's Ho Dong.
It's Ho Dong.
Why would you make an international call?
(Why would you call me while I'm in China?)
We just got off work.
How is business going?
Customers rushed more than we deserved.
You must be busy, so I'll cut to the chase.
We sold quite a lot yesterday.
But today was nearly 30°C in Gyeongju.
Right, it's quite hot.
- And today in Gyeongju... - Hot soup...
doesn't sell on hot days.
Doesn't it?
Don't people try to fight off heat with hot food?
No. Who would eat hot food on hot days?
Then you should sell cold guksu.
- Cold guksu. - Cold guksu.
But I didn't give you a recipe for that.
You're right.
(We didn't expect it to be so hot.)
Since you perform quite well,
how about I teach you over the phone?
- Sure, sir. - That's a good idea.
Write it down. So what you do is...
The savory broth we have...
could smell fishy...
- if it's served cold. - I see.
So to remove the foul odor, you'll need stronger seasoning.
Which is...
(Stronger seasoning)
- I see. - To remove the odor.
- Seasoning. - That's the first option.
If the odor is still there,
this is what you should try.
(Even stronger seasoning)
You'll at least have a spicy, sweet, and sour seasoning.
Call me if it doesn't work.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you so much for making time for us.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Call me if it doesn't work. - We will.
- You can do it. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Bye.
How is that possible? He didn't even stop to think.
He must have all the answers in his head.
- He's already... - He has all the answers.
He's already cooking in his head while giving us advice.
Time for dinner!
(Let's eat dinner for now.)
I rarely drink canned coke. About two cans a year?
You don't like snacks either.
But I've already had about five since I got here.
- I know. - I never drink coke.
(After drinking the 6.5th can of coke...)
I'll be back quickly.
- Where are you going? - To the restaurant.
I can go alone.
Why don't you go tomorrow morning?
I can make the broth tomorrow morning,
but it won't be as cold if it wasn't in the fridge for some time.
So I'll go now...
It's better to go make it now.
I want to try it my way too.
I think it'll be fun.
It'll only work that way.
(He wanted to try the new recipe.)
(Stretching)
(I'm going.)
- Are you done eating, Ho Dong? - Yes, I am.
(He's really going.)
(An unexpected partner)
Why do you insist you come? You're making me tear up.
You should just rest.
You'll need someone to taste your food and help.
(Sincere)
I feel bad.
You're coming with me when you should rest.
I'll go and learn more.
I'll see and learn new things.
- I'll stop feeling bad then. - Please.
- Don't be sorry? - Don't be.
- We're here. - Only the kitchen has lights on.
(P.O and Ho Dong have never seen the restaurant dark.)
It feels strange to see the restaurant with the lights off.
It does, right?
This is...
(Laughing)
Open the door.
(P.O and Ho Dong are back to work at 8:30pm.)
It feels like I'm working double.
(The lights are on.)
Let's...
Let's wear our aprons.
Attitude is important too.
- And hygiene should come first. - Right. Hygiene.
And passion.
- Passion. - Yes.
- Done. - Is it full?
It's not brimming over, right?
Here.
(While it will boil for hours...)
Let me show you some performance.
- Help me dice those. - To fill one cup?
(A phone call with Mr. Baek an hour ago)
So to remove the foul odor, you'll need stronger seasoning.
Which is a third cup of ground garlic,
a cup of chopped Cheongyang chili,
and a cup of chopped chives. Mixed them together with soy sauce.
(Chopping)
It's spicy.
(They chopped the ingredients for some time.)
We need a tool for this.
(We need a chopping machine.)
Flavoring soy sauce, Cheongyang chili, and chives.
And we need a third cup of ground garlic.
This is right. It's a third cup.
(The 2nd step of making a stronger seasoning)
(If the odor isn't removed...)
This is what you should try. To flavoring soy sauce,
add some vinegar. About a cup of vinegar.
Then add half a cup or a full cup of sugar.
Where is vinegar?
Sugar.
(They have all the ingredients ready.)
(It's time to pray.)
(With courtesy)
(I'll have courtesy too.)
(A stronger seasoning is being made.)
It's quite green.
- It looks kind of proper. - Yes.
Adding this to your food must be refreshing.
A tablespoon of this should be added.
I find it hard to make decisions.
We'll taste it.
Mr. Baek always tells us to. "Go on, taste it."
(They taste it.)
Here.
Like this.
- A spoonful. - Okay.
This is what it will look like.
(Cold guksu, version 1.0, with a spoonful of strong seasoning)
Let's taste the broth first.
How is it?
(He clears his throat.)
It's tasty, but...
It's just a colder version of our usual noodle dish.
(Moving on to the next step)
- Are you sure? - Yes.
You have incredible memory.
I wrote them down.
This feels good.
(Cold guksu, version 2.0, with vinegar added)
(Slurping)
I get what it means now.
I can't smell anything fishy at all.
I get it now.
We're almost there.
(Cold guksu is on hold.)
Put it in.
(Cold guksu, version 3.0, with sugar added)
And then let's add one more spoon of this.
Since we're almost there.
Try the broth too.
It's definitely better.
It needs four spoons of this.
(Slurping)
(Slurping harder)
- You did good coming here, right? - Yes.
- You did good. - Right.
- You did good. - I'm not tired at all.
(They have finished with the recipe for cold guksu at 11:30pm.)
(Hugging)
(They return home.)
We need to work on the red bean topping.
- We need to boil it for six hours. - Where are the red beans?
Let's just get the ingredients ready.
- No. - Shouldn't you guys eat first?
- Leave it to boil. - I was going to.
(We're making twice as much of red bean.)
(With double amount of ingredients,)
(the red bean factory is open.)
Be quick.
This is really expensive.
(He's just loud.)
(For Ji Won who has bad eyesight,)
(Tired)
It's here.
(Jae Hyeon helps with his good eyesight.)
- You can see this. - What?
- The faulty bean. - Right.
- Like this. - There are no stones.
Do I take out the wrinkly ones?
Yes, if it's too wrinkly.
(Step 2: After filtering, wash the beans and boil them.)
(It will take 6 hours to cook.)
(We're going to sleep since we worked hard from yesterday.)
(Su Geun is resting after working on so many chores.)
(It's his 9th check.)
It's taking a lot more than we thought to make double amount.
(Step 3: Put a flavoring bag to add flavor.)
We'll have to cut it. There's no other way.
(It will take 4 hours and 10 minutes more to cook.)
Let's use the floor.
(They sterilize the kneading board.)
(Then they start making cookies.)
(He washes his hands again.)
Aren't we like those masters?
It's working well.
Here.
(He's making cookies like a master.)
Right now, the density, viscosity... Everything's perfect.
(Perfect cookies are being made.)
(Waiting)
(Coughing)
What's going on? Is someone dying?
I heard an alien.
(It's the alien.)
I keep hearing a strange noise.
(That's not what's important now.)
I see some kind of a ghost.
I mean, it hasn't been molded. What is this?
- What is this? - That's what I'm asking.
(Not Delicate)
(Meanwhile, the alien is here.)
(Falling)
(He wakes up at the sound of it.)
I even had a dream.
(He even had a dream.)
I had a dream of me in a taekwondo battle.
It's nonsense.
(Dream of taekwondo means you'll get into a dispute.)
Gosh.
- You worked hard, Ji Won. - It hasn't finished yet.
- Do you want some relief patches? - This is only the beginning.
I know. There must be nothing I can help with.
- You would've woken me. - Of course.
(While Su Geun is checking the red beans for the 31st time...)
On a medium-low heat.
(They have made 63 cookies so far.)
(They have finished making 75 cookies.)
(Current time: 12:20am)
(Team Noodles returns.)
(He's foot-kneading again.)
(He loves it.)
Even if I lose Ho Dong,
I'll recognize him from his feet.
(Laughing)
It feels different with him on my back.
- Right, it does. - It's better.
(The whole group performs.)
- You're right. - This is incredible.
Push harder.
(Supporting, filming, pushing, coaching, and foot-kneading)
Push it harder.
(This is the support from up-close.)
It's working.
(The dough is made with love.)
Now, it's done.
- Well done. - Well done.
(Today's chores are done.)
(The 3rd day)
(It's a great morning.)
(It's time to wake up.)
(MINO's alarm is...)
(the red beans.)
(Tasting)
Ji Won.
The red bean porridge is ready.
- We'll need to take it. - Yes.
(They move it to containers.)
(More than enough)
You did a good job with the red beans. It's tasty.
(Proud)
This is the Kang family's red beans.
(Red beans. We'll report you if you eat this.)
(They mean it.)
(Before they go to work, they must come here.)
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
- Hi. - Hello.
The great scallions I bought here improved my cooking skills.
- Right? - Yes.
Beetroot.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Use it to make broth. It's the roots of scallion.
- Scallion roots. - Thank you.
- Are you eating something? - She's given us bindaetteok.
- I'll take it home. - Eat it when we get there.
Ma'am, you know cold guksu.
We'll be selling cold guksu from today. What kind of toppings...
Usually in this area, you put pickled radish.
I see.
- Julienne pickled radish? - Yes, to add some colors.
Ladies slice them into little pieces.
They julienne them.
Like what cucumber topping looks like, right?
- Right? - That's it.
(Last night)
(Su Geun brings it up as soon as he woke up.)
You'll need to think about the toppings.
They usually give you slices of radish kimchi.
You could give slices of pickled radish too.
Julienne pickled radish. It'll be great.
Ho Dong, adding radish pickles is a good idea, right?
- She says the same. - I told you.
I had the same thought yesterday.
Slice it like this?
I can do that. Don't worry.
You should add this.
- Radish sprouts? - Yes.
Shouldn't you add this on top?
Right. It's pretty.
- It'll look pretty. - A couple on top.
- Yes. It will. Good. - It'll look good.
(Today's workload is piling up.)
- Thank you. - Bye.
It's really important to take the regional preferences into account.
It is. The lady mentioned pickled radish right away.
The color combination will be great with yellow pickled radish,
radish sprouts, and seaweed flakes.
(It's getting strangely windy around the restaurant.)
What is this? It's raining.
(It's raining.)
(This restaurant is about to start selling cold guksu today.)
Today...
A number of obstacles...
will be waiting for me, right?
Let's not get angry.
- Let's be happy. - Considerate and respectful.
- Considerate and respectful. - Considerate and respectful.
It's raining for real.
- It's raining. - My gosh, it's raining.
(At first, it was hard to believe.)
(Then it became the reality.)
How about we switch to jeon today?
The warm guksu will sell so much.
There won't be any fine dust.
Whatever it may be, if we can sell a lot, that's good.
They say it'll start getting sunny around noon.
Today's temperature is below average though.
Even at 1pm,
- it's expected to be 15°C. - Really?
It's expected to be 13°C by 4pm.
The temperature dropped in half.
I'm wearing my summer outfit.
I'm wearing shorts too. Look how lucky I am.
I'm all prepared to sell the cold guksu.
(We are on our way to sell cold guksu.)
- Cold guksu. - Cold guksu.
It's raining.
(He can't believe it.)
(They have come to work at 9am.)
It's raining a lot.
- Yes. - I know.
We are finally here.
I have come.
(Sad)
(He's trying to think positive.)
If we're going to be unlucky, we might as well be very unlucky.
(The more I think, the harder I find it to understand.)
When I prepared something warm, it was 30°C.
So I've prepared something cold, and it's 13°C today.
(He sure is unlucky.)
Someone had two sons.
One of them sold umbrellas, and the other sold salt.
(Omitted)
When the weather is good, the salt will sell.
We're supposed to be positive. I have both menus ready,
but no one could order it.
(He failed to become positive.)
It says, "Never mind", on your shirt.
(Don't worry.)
(His clothes doesn't think the same.)
We have a lot to prepare today.
We need eggs, and we need to update the menu.
(Team Dessert should weigh ingredients, update the menu,)
(prepare for patbingsu, clean the ice cream machine, and more.)
(Kind)
We need to get the patbingsu machine ready.
(It's the same in the kitchen.)
I'll take this scallion.
(Su Geun's 26th chore. Chop scallions for warm guksu,)
(slice scallions sideways for quatro fries...)
(and for tteokbokki,)
(and chop chives for cold guksu.)
It's like I'm dreaming.
(He's washing the scallions.)
I feel like dreaming.
It's like that here. My recent memories...
- What is it? - It's like the palace kitchen.
I feel like I've become a trainee.
(While the maids of the palace kitchen are slicing scallions,)
(Scallions, onions, and scallions)
(the main chef has lots to do.)
- Su Geun. - Yes?
We made this yesterday.
You're incredible.
- Do you want to taste it? - Okay.
- Just a little bit? - Sure.
This is all there is.
It's cold broth. Taste it.
What else do I need?
We boiled it all night. This is broth.
- The cold broth. - It's very tasty.
Let's boil 30 eggs so we can have some too.
(Now, they are ready to make toppings for cold guksu.)
And then...
(Boiling eggs with salt and vinegar will make it easy to peel off.)
(Boil eggs for 10 to 12 minutes for pleasant texture.)
(Meanwhile, Ji Won is looking for something.)
Where is the ice scoop?
Scoop.
(Scanning)
(Jae Hyeon is peeling a carrot for the 6th time.)
(He is working out to look good in dramas.)
(And P.O is slicing scallions.)
(It's spicy.)
(He tries to hold back,)
(but it's too spicy.)
My eyes are stinging.
(A tear drops.)
P.O, think carefully. What's wrong?
It's so spicy.
Think carefully.
When you were making cold guksu yesterday,
you know...
Did you take the ice scoop?
(He confesses.)
- Did you? Where did you put it? - Yes.
(He goes somewhere.)
(This is where they made cold guksu yesterday.)
What did you do afterward?
We need it since we'll add ice to cold guksu too.
I left it by the sink. Where did it go?
(A scary guy's after me.)
(It's the 8th carrot.)
Did you put it by the sink?
(He runs away.)
(Sniffing)
It's okay.
That scallion...
(He's actually a sweet guy.)
(But where did the scoop go?)
I should have put it back.
(We should pay attention to what P.O said repeatedly.)
I should always put it back to where it was.
("I should put it back to where it was.")
(Last night, after the practice,)
(P.O brought the scoop.)
(And he put it back to its place.)
(It was the good habit that took it away.)
(2 hours before opening)
It's crunchy.
(He checks the quality before cleaning.)
(Now, all he needs is eggs for the cold guksu toppings.)
Because we sang,
the weather is getting better.
(It's an amazingly beautiful day.)
Jae Hyeon, would you like an egg?
Please.
(He checks the quality before setting the table.)
- It's good, right? - Yes.
Just around 10 to 12 minutes.
- That's good. - I'm scared I might smash it.
I worked at a makguksu place and peeled off...
hundreds of eggs.
Just smash it once then roll it. It'll get peeled off.
- Try it now. This will take ages. - Show us what you got.
- Show us what you got. - Watch this!
Smash it and roll it.
Like this. Then it's done.
- Great performance. - Just like that.
(He likes how it looked.)
Do it confidently.
It didn't look like much, but it works.
(Laughing)
(It's done easily thanks to Su Geun.)
(Now, he needs to cut them in half.)
(The yolk falls out.)
What do I do? It falls out.
That's why they use strings instead of a knife.
It works like this. It's cut clearly.
Look at the yolk here.
- It's much better. - Of course.
Those things make me feel good.
Those.
It's a simple change.
But it works.
(He's finished with the last egg.)
(By that time, Jae Hyeon is almost done with beetroot.)
(Ji Won takes over.)
(7 sweet potatoes, 9 carrots, 5 beetroots)
(Beetroot is the hardest.)
We can't eat before we open, can we?
(1 hour before opening)
It's done.
(It's time to hurry up.)
(They are getting familiar with using fire.)
- Thank you. - No worries.
Tell me if you need more before it runs out.
I will.
(He gets the dessert machine ready,)
(and he gets ready to clean the hall.)
This isn't toxic at all.
(He cleans the tables with a sterilizer.)
(He stretches his neck and cleans his hands.)
Let me make some cold guksu now.
Please. We need to taste it...
so that we can decide we'll sell it or not.
I know.
- Right? - Yes.
So yes. I know. I need honest feedback.
Our teamwork makes it easy to share honest opinions.
We need to make sure and find out...
what Ji Won thinks.
Don't we need anything like this?
It'd be great to have one.
- Right? - Yes.
Where should I put this?
This...
(Thinking)
Why is the ice cream leaking again?
Oh, gosh. It's milk.
(They made a small mistake while assembling.)
What's wrong with it?
Don't we have it?
(They are serious, and he's flustered.)
Ho Dong took the table.
- What? - He took the table.
- Why did you take this? - I...
(40 minutes before opening. They haven't tasted the cold guksu,)
(haven't eaten yet, quatro fries are not ready, the machine is leaking.)
(Ji Won is mad.)
- Ji Won. - Yes.
Come here. Let's eat.
We need carbohydrate and a spoon.
(Su Geun's 32nd chore, make lunch.)
(P.O makes lunch.)
We'll put some ketchup here.
It needs some ketchup, right?
- We should... - Come over here now.
- Ask for it. - Ji Won, MINO, come here.
Bring some ketchup, P.O.
(He's making noodles to test.)
It looks great.
It needs to be boiled for two minutes.
Remind me. It's two minutes.
(We don't have time.)
Two minutes.
(Cooked noodles are filling up.)
(Cold guksu broth is filling up.)
(That's right. Today's the day we should sell cold guksu.)
- MINO. - Yes?
Help me.
(He makes the noodles more chewy...)
(and gets rid of water.)
Does it taste similar to yesterday's?
- Is it chewy? - Of course.
It's incredible.
Shall I put it at the center?
- At the center. - Okay.
Shouldn't the pickled radish be at the center?
Like this?
Here we go. One.
Two.
(4 spoons of flavoring soy sauce he made for 3 hours)
Three.
Four.
Put it there.
Do it yourself.
- You look like an expert. - Then the rest...
I just want to do well because it's my first time.
Just a little.
It's too much.
(Sesame oil is surfacing.)
(He's put too much.)
(I'm the most surprised.)
(The sesame oil is still there despite the sesame powder.)
You've put too much sesame oil.
- I know. - Yes, you did.
Eat it first.
(He's confident about it except the sesame oil.)
Did you try the broth?
It's a success. This is so good.
It's good.
(Team Kitchen enjoys it...)
(although there was a mistake with sesame oil.)
We should tell customers to eat it with broth.
How's the thickness of the noodles?
- It's tasty. - I've made it thinner.
I like this right now.
(Ji Won hasn't eaten it yet.)
(And he's not in a good mood because of the machine.)
If it doesn't work...
I'm going to sell it.
(After reassembling, it works fine.)
(He takes a seat.)
Try the noodles. It's great.
MINO.
Come and eat cold guksu.
Sit here, MINO.
- I'm hungry. - Be careful of the chilis.
Wow, sausages!
You make it worth it.
I told you it's tasty.
(He likes cold guksu too.)
Did you add four spoons of flavoring soy sauce?
- We should eat to work. - I like it.
It's good.
And this broth doesn't taste ordinary.
It's not ready-made.
There's no bad odor.
(It's not fishy at all.)
The noodles are good.
But there's too much oil.
I made a mistake. I put too much.
You can add more pickled radish.
(Ji Won likes pickled radish.)
A lot of pickled radish?
I will.
Only add a couple of sesame oil drops.
Mr. Baek said "drop it".
Just one drop. I know.
- It's so tasty. - I can do that.
I got greedy this time.
(After drinking the broth...)
Don't put too much oil. Try the broth.
- There's too much sesame oil. - I said I spilled it.
(They held back a lot today.)
I see. You spilled it.
Don't get angry.
Isn't it really good?
Yes, if he didn't spill sesame oil.
The broth is great.
Try it again when the ice has melted.
(Only two ice cubes will be added.)
Okay. Two ice cubes.
(In case the ice makes it bland.)
(Niga Garak Cold Guksu, 5.50 dollars.)
- We need to serve ice cream. - It should be two dollars.
- What? - We can charge it a dollar,
but in this business...
(Ice Kkotdongsim with upgraded toppings including syrup: 2 dollars)
We don't have much time.
Right, we don't. I have to make bindaetteok now.
- Ji Won. - Bindaetteok?
- Bindae... - Vegetables.
(Hectic)
(Making quatro fries that are like bindaetteok)
- What time is it? - Noodles came out fast,
- but this is different. - It's 11:37pm.
My goodness.
Let's have one each and put it away.
(Hurrying)
- I'll wipe the table. - Thank you.
(The rain has stopped.)
(The cool wind is blowing,)
(and Ji Won gets a weird feeling...)
(while setting the tables.)
Guys.
Why do we have more tables?
(Why do we have more tables?)
(Gosh...)
(Tell me, why did you do that?)
We have more tables?
We have more tables.
We have more tables?
What do you mean we have more tables?
(Angry)
You didn't do it.
Ji Won, what do you mean we have more tables?
That can't be.
1, 2, 3.
We really have one more table.
(Yesterday)
(Today)
(A 2-person table was added to increase the turnover.)
And nobody knew?
What do you mean we have more tables?
(They find out 2 hours and 40 minutes after starting work.)
You're the only one who noticed it.
- You didn't notice, right? - I didn't.
I didn't notice it either.
Ji Won is amazing.
No one else noticed it.
When the ingredients are increased, the tables are increased too.
They add tables when they add ingredients.
(He focuses on cleaning the hall.)
Seriously.
Wait, the more I think of it,
headquarters is so sly.
Right?
The put another table there without even telling us.
Right?
(Things to remember)
(1. Additional table)
(15 minutes before business starts)
Eating the meal...
- Really. - gave me a lot of energy.
(But here,)
(we have a boss...)
(who ate but doesn't have any energy.)
It's not a very nice day today.
(Current wind speed)
(Save me!)
It's very windy, and it's cold.
Then it's good that we'll sell more hot food.
Since everyone seems to have shivered from the cold,
I'll induce them with warm guksu.
What?
That's good.
Any guksu will work.
Warm guksu is really good too.
You didn't forget how to make warm guksu, did you?
Seriously, did I forget?
It'd be funny to add an egg on warm guksu.
- Out of confusion, - Out of confusion.
you add an egg in it.
How about adding ice in warm guksu?
(Laughing)
You said I should add four ice cubes, right?
- 2 cubes. - For 2 bowls.
(It's fun to tease him.)
(Things to remember)
(2. Types of topping)
- Let's do this, everyone. - Ji Won, open the door.
Let's do this.
(Pat pat, a cheerful start)
Wait, I'm really afraid.
We have an additional table.
(With trembling hearts,)
(they come out to open the restaurant.)
(He's overdoing it.)
(Singing a round, Kang's Kitchen is full)
Kang's Kitchen is full of love.
This too...
It's really cold outside.
You can't eat cold guksu in this weather.
Guys, it's really cold outside.
The camera directors are all wearing parkas.
It's our luck with weather.
It comes from the boss's energy.
I'm serious.
It comes from the boss's energy. Yes, right.
I'm sorry.
(Kang Ho Dong, age 50, has won various titles.)
(Currently, he's out of energy.)
They're wearing padded jackets outside.
(Laughing)
(The camera director has an extreme job two days in a row.)
How can this happen?
(His singing expresses sorrow.)
(His singing is heart-wrenching.)
We have customers. Come on in.
(Many customers visited also today.)
Welcome.
We have a bunch of princesses. I should get high chairs.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
- Are you four? - Welcome.
You're four, right?
This way.
(Customers keep flooding in.)
2... 3 people?
How about here? It'll be perfect.
(3 people take a seat.)
Hello. Welcome.
Today,
Ho Dong has a new menu, cold guksu.
But it's cold outside, and I wonder how it'll be.
- Was it cold outside? - It was.
- It's cold, right? - Yes.
A day like today reminds you of warm guksu.
(Laughing)
(Going crazy)
Oh, goodness.
Did this get untied?
Why is it so loose?
(MINO ties it for him. Meanwhile, he finds a pan.)
I mean...
(Ji Won is in a hurry.)
(He requires a lot of care.)
- This changed to 7, right? - Yes, 7.
(Things to remember)
(3. New table numbers)
- Do you want to order now? - Yes.
(Meanwhile, in the kitchen)
Good luck.
(The kitchen is filled with the noodle machine's sound.)
It's so quiet.
(It's so...quiet.)
It's so quiet it feels weird.
The kitchen is chilly.
What's going on?
One cold guksu for Ho Dong.
One quatro fries for Jae Hyeon.
One kimchi fried rice for P.O.
It's chilly.
(We're still sane, don't worry.)
(Ordering begins.)
One medium tteokbokki.
One garak guksu.
- Cold guksu? - Normal guksu.
- Normal guksu. - Yes.
- Kimchi fried rice. - Kimchi fried rice.
One medium fried tteokbokki.
Two garak guksu.
- Two guksu. - Yes.
One kimchi fried rice.
(No cold guksu)
- I got orders all at once. - Good job.
Thank you.
What's this?
(He tears it again.)
From the first page,
you're messing up...today.
(Calm down)
- Is that our 1st customer? - Yes, it's our 1st customer.
For Table 7, 1 medium quatro, 1 guksu, and 1 kimchi fried rice.
Where is it?
(No cold guksu)
It's warm guksu, right?
(He's a bit upset.)
- Right now... Chef? - Yes.
There are a lot of orders of cold and warm guksu at the same time.
Prepare these in order.
Since the kids can't eat warm guksu, let's order a cold guksu.
1 Niga garak guksu, 1 cold guksu,
- 1 guksu. - and 1 kimchi fried rice.
- Is it cold guksu? - One kimchi fried rice.
One cold guksu.
Welcome.
- Are you two? - Yes.
- Hello. - Hello.
This way, please.
Can we order a lot?
- We're going to eat a lot. - What?
1 jjajang tteokbokki, 1 garak guksu...
One jjajang tteokbokki...
(Order complete)
Let's go slowly.
- Go slowly, please. Slowly. - Okay.
(Slowly)
(First, he makes the noodles.)
(Slowly)
It's warm guksu.
Don't cook it for three minutes.
- Okay. - Yes.
If you cook it for three minutes, the noodles will disappear.
Okay, thank you.
(Cook for just 2 minutes!)
(He takes it out at the right time.)
The first noodles came out well.
- First noodles. - It's very good.
(Even if first noodles come, I won't be able to forget you)
(Because I...)
The first noodles are good.
(The climax is the pepper powder.)
I really feel the warmth today.
Niga garak guksu is ready.
Our first guksu.
(Niga garak guksu is delivered.)
It'll slip.
(The hall manager serves it.)
(I can't wait.)
That must be ours.
The guksu is ready.
The bowl is very hot. Be careful.
- Okay. - I'll move it.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
It looks good.
- Does it look good? - Yes.
It's hot.
(Every customer at Kang's Kitchen gets a golden spoon.)
(She blows to cool it.)
(Give it a try.)
How is it?
(Delicious)
It's delicious.
(She has an adult's taste.)
What if cold and warm guksu are ordered at the same time?
Wouldn't it be better to make cold guksu first?
- Because it's harder? - Cold guksu...
- You have to eat cold food first. - Yes.
I'm making thin noodles for cold guksu.
(It's thinner than noodles for warm guksu.)
That's nice.
That's 2 minutes. 2 minutes.
(It has to be cooked longer than warm guksu.)
Once I get used to it,
I'd be able to cook noodles for warm noodles...
while waiting two minutes for this.
But now, I'll get in trouble if I strain myself.
Kimchi Fried Rice Is Blossoming.
(The broth was cooled in the refrigerator.)
(Step by step)
I hope it gets more delicious.
I think you can put it down here...
since we have to make another one.
- This? - Put it down here.
- No, no. - Add ice and...
No, no. This is a detail.
It's a matter of my pride.
- You have pride? - It's better to work harder.
I can't do that.
(Buffering)
(Pride)
(He takes out the noodles.)
It's done.
(He quickly puts cold water on it.)
(The noodle is getting chewier.)
That's nice.
I'll take this in one try.
Table one has to go out now.
1 fries and 1 guksu.
(Sliced pickled radish)
(Egg)
(Radish sprouts: adequate amount)
You have to add this.
- Like this. - It's not bad.
They shouldn't get mixed.
Yes.
(Seaweed flakes: important)
(Sesame oil)
That's good. Nice.
- Don't be regretful. - Okay.
(Add plenty of sesame)
It's our first one.
- Niga garak. - Niga garak.
Cold guksu is ready.
- What number is it? - It's probably Table One.
Niga garak cold guksu is ready.
Say it with emotion.
- It's our first cold guksu. - Niga garak...
- cold guksu. - It's our new menu.
We started the cold guksu today.
Do you want yours first?
(Stretching)
How?
(Kids monopolize the cold guksu.)
(Dad eats a bowl of warm guksu.)
(Mom eats cold guksu. She checks the broth.)
It's not too pungent.
(It's good for children.)
- Did you try the cold guksu? - Yes.
You're giving it to the kids.
(Slurping)
(Eating)
Ye Rim, is it good? It is?
She says it's good.
(She drinks all the soup.)
Little girls are devouring the cold guksu.
- It became guksu for children. - Really?
Yes. A one-year-old is chewing on the noodles forever.
- Really? - Yes.
(He's very happy about the review.)
We served one cold guksu so far, right?
- Yes, it's coming out right away. - No, I mean right now.
Yes, right. I'm making it right now.
We served one cold guksu so far.
(This is a cold guksu the nervous Ho Dong made.)
Niga garak cold guksu is ready.
(Wait, something is missing.)
Cold guksu is ready.
(It's served to the YOLO table.)
(Original)
(Fake)
(The soup is clear because seaweed flakes are missing.)
It's really good.
(He has a good lung capacity.)
They're so good.
(Sorry for forgetting the seaweed. Headquarters found out just now.)
They can sell the tteokbokki separately.
- Is the food okay? - Yes, it's really good.
How about the cold guksu? It's a menu that started today.
- It's really good. - The noodle is unique.
It's my first meal today.
- Really? - It's very good.
Enjoy the food.
(Ho Dong has no idea of this.)
Gosh, the turnover is fast.
(3 guksu were served so far.)
- A good start. - A good start.
A good start.
The medium size was popular yesterday and probably today too.
(They have to make 4 of them.)
(Ahn Jae Hyeon, actor, in charge of quatro and jjajang tteokbokki,)
(focuses on cooking rather than talking)
(Splash)
(Quatro fries are cooked and are very crunchy.)
(Jae Hyeon's chatter)
(Tap)
It's clean. It's very nice.
(The end)
- We have one jjajang. - Okay.
(Jae Hyeon...)
(is already making it.)
(This tastes really good.)
(P.O's kimchi fried rice)
(Kimchi fried rice, jjajang tteokbokki, and quatro fries)
(The 3 menus are getting ready.)
Keep making the kimchi fried rice, P.O.
(He has to make 5 of them.)
(He works hard to make the kimchi fried rice.)
(He does them 1 by 1 without overdoing it.)
He's amazing now.
- You can't see the cheese. - What?
- You can't see the cheese. - P.O got upgraded.
(He's P.O ver. 2.0.)
(Being silly)
(Jae Hyeon has seaweed on his face.)
(Fries)
(Brachiosaurus got extinct...)
(because they couldn't have any of these fried vegetables.)
(Jae Hyeon's quatro fries conquers the world.)
(Breaking the fries)
(Sneaky)
(Spicy tteokbokki is completed in the meantime.)
(On top of good food,)
(another good food is added.)
(P.O's kimchi fried rice is ready too.)
- I'll give it to him. - Okay.
The first "Kimchi Fried Rice Is Blossoming" is ready.
- What number? - Seven.
Seven.
Seven, medium.
- Number 1 and 7. - It's ready.
Six, medium.
- 6, medium. - 6, medium.
- 2, medium. - 2, medium.
Watch your pronunciation.
I'm sorry.
- Don't say "two, mum." - Okay, I'm sorry.
I thought your mother was here.
(M: the 13th letter of the English alphabet)
(Mum: dialect for mother)
Say "size medium" instead of "medium."
- I was surprised. - Dads would get upset.
Okay.
- Do it like this? - Yes.
Let's say it together, hygiene.
- Hygiene. - Hygiene.
Su Geun didn't say it. Do you have a complaint?
Yes.
If you're going to fret and complain, then just...
(Keeps quiet)
(Sigh)
He couldn't bring himself to say, "Quit."
(He reads Ho Dong's mind.)
That's because he's indispensable.
Don't you know that part-time workers are king these days?
(He's in a hurry.)
(A back hug?)
You crazy guy. This is...
- I'm busy. I'm busy. - What is it?
I didn't check the order.
P.O from Block B made this.
Kimchi Fried Rice Is Blossoming...
- is ready. - What number is it?
- Number one. - Say the number first.
I'll say it right away.
MINO almost got angry telling me to say the number first.
- We're a happy kitchen. - Be happy.
No, the number first.
- I wasn't angry. - Of course I know.
- Should I clear the table? - Yes.
(1 hour after opening)
It's break time from 2:30pm,
but the one who put a banana peel on the water purifier won't get one.
- What? - Who put a banana peel here?
The person who ate a banana and put the peel on the water purifier...
won't get a break today.
Wasn't it for decoration? It looked pretty.
- Was the skin there? - Yes.
That's not good.
(It's not good.)
We need to leave the evidence.
(He's serious.)
(He takes a picture for the evidence.)
I want to smell the pine trees.
It looks like he's the one who did it.
He looks like he's regretting what he did.
(It's edited in a mean way.)
I wish you could clean it up...
rather than blaming someone else's mistake.
It's not something heavy.
How come you mention it and just leave it there?
That person must have been so hungry...
that he ate a banana when he had a little bit of time.
Don't you think so?
(The banana brings out disillusionment.)
Pardon me.
But I'd say, I got much better than I was in the past.
We have an order.
(Meanwhile)
Welcome. How many people?
We're 2 adults and 2 kids.
- So four in total. - Right.
(There's no seat for them.)
- I guess you need to wait. - Okay.
(It's chilly outside.)
You can use these if you feel cold.
You can use these too.
Yes. Thank you.
I totally made a mistake.
Why?
I gave the table in the middle so that they can feel comfortable,
so I cannot use the two tables on both sides.
It's so windy that my hair got all tangled up.
(They feel cold.)
- I'm sorry. - It's all right.
(They ask for the customers' understanding.)
Now I can see the front much better.
I was going to change the seat for them anyway.
Please come inside now.
(His step got much lighter.)
You must have been so cold. Let's get inside.
Let's get inside quickly.
(They feel comfortable now.)
Here's the menu.
What are you eating?
- What is it? - Tell him it's water.
(He finds out the baby's table is higher.)
(He carefully adjusts it.)
The kids are inside now.
- Hello. Are you here to pay it? - Hello.
Did you make a lot of money?
You're princesses in pink.
You're here.
They had cold guksu a lot.
- Peekaboo! - Peekaboo!
(They might make the kids cry again.)
- Peekaboo! - Peekaboo!
Are you going to pay, dear?
She's so cute.
(She paid the most expensive bill in her life so far today.)
(Goodbye.)
(She's leaving for her home quickly.)
(1 hour and 5 minutes have passed since they're open.)
(Weather is changing so quickly.)
Look at that. Look at the parasol outside.
- The wind is so strong. - The parasol might fly away.
- The parasol is... - Gosh. I prepared cold guksu.
What's funny is, they all have patbingsu.
And they all finish it.
(He's really sulky.)
(He makes a loud sound.)
(Beet, banana, and patbingsu make him upset.)
- It's not 100 percent... - You were doing all right, then...
I know. We can't blame the weather 100 percent.
It's ambiguous, right?
Every customer is eating patbingsu.
(All the customers in the restaurant are eating patbingsu.)
I cannot but say what I see.
(They're enjoying patbingsu.)
If saying that makes you happy, Su Geun,
- then keep saying it. - No, it's all right.
But every table ordered garak guksu.
So you don't have to worry.
It feels like a paradise compared to yesterday.
Everything is going...
- so smoothly. - For today?
(He shouldn't say such a thing...)
(without thinking at a restaurant.)
(Customers would swarm after saying such a thing.)
(The kid is parking the car.)
Hello.
(He guides them to Table 1.)
(The parking is free for 3 hours.)
(When one group of customers leave,)
(another group of customers come in.)
(When customers have a seat,)
(other customers come in.)
(They're arriving earlier than expected.)
Please wait for a minute.
(Ji Won's eyes are getting wider.)
(He hasn't cleaned up the table yet.)
We can separate the tables.
(He separates the tables.)
There were so many customers on the first day.
But we didn't have a lot of menus on the first day.
We had the least number of menus.
(He introduces the history of Kang's Kitchen.)
Cold guksu is the new menu today.
Kimchi fried rice was the new menu yesterday.
(We're new customers.)
Welcome.
Three people?
(It's a family the computer loved.)
Hello.
(Hello.)
Two people?
I'll clean up the table first.
Then I'll guide you to your seat.
You're two, fortunately.
(He separates the tables again.)
I can seat the customers quickly as I separate the tables.
I can seat two people for each table.
What's going on now?
(There are more customers on the way.)
Welcome.
- Two people? - We have a kid.
Two adults...
The high chair is...
Do we have more high chairs?
I need help!
I didn't imagine the kids would love Kang's Kitchen this much.
(It's half families with kids, and half couples.)
My goodness.
How amazing.
(Boss Kang is watching the customers.)
Is your baby about 100 days old?
Almost six months.
- Six months. - Yes.
Can she turn over her body?
Yes. She can turn herself over now.
He didn't go out that far.
He's just near the door.
It makes you tear up as you feel proud when the kid turns over.
(He's forced to come back.)
(Boss Kang is back to the kitchen.)
(The talkative one feels sorry.)
(We couldn't see MINO for a while.)
(He's almost confined making patbingsu.)
(Goodness)
Look at the color. It's totally great.
(MINO and Ji Won prepared the red bean all night long.)
(He puts a generous amount.)
(He keeps making patbingsu.)
(It's a different patbingsu this time.)
(He's curious about what's happening outside.)
(But he cannot go out.)
(The outside is like this now.)
My goodness.
- It flew away. It flew. - Goodness.
(I'm leaving.)
The parasol is flying away.
(Goodness.)
Don't be surprised.
- Don't be surprised. - It's fine.
It's a natural force.
This is Kang's Kitchen.
(If it's Kang's Kitchen...)
(Are we ruined?)
(Customers come to Kang's Kitchen that's a mess.)
(Here's a couple again.)
(The restaurant is full.)
- Please wipe the table. - I will do that.
(The staff members are cleaning up the mess.)
- You're not together, are you? - No.
(They're busy outside.)
(The restaurant is busy too.)
Tell me the table numbers.
You can think about it this way.
1,2,3,4... Like this.
- 1,2,3,4... Like this. - Like that.
- The same for the rest? - Yes.
- 7 and 8. - Okay.
We have one more table now.
(They're finished.)
I'm sorry. Let me get your order.
(He gets the order now.)
- One tteokbokki, - Yes.
- one guksu... - Garak guksu.
- Garak guksu. - Cold guksu us the new menu today.
- It's cold - Then two cold guksu, please.
If you feel cold, regular guksu is good.
- Then two regular guksu. - All right.
One tteokbokki with quatro fries.
It's spicy. Is that okay with you?
Is it very spicy?
- Do you eat spicy food well? - No.
He separated the tables...
that the table numbers got strange now.
Gosh, this is...
(The order sheets keep coming in.)
We have one more table.
Garak guksu for Table Five.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Garak guksu for Table Five. - Right.
(He serves it to Table 5.)
We didn't order guksu.
- I'm sorry. - Which table?
It's over there.
- Which number? Table 7? - Table 5.
- What? - Table Five.
Table Five?
(Then that table is right.)
(He's confused.)
We ordered it.
I see. There.
Garak guksu.
I'm sorry.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
(He checks the order slip again.)
Table Five?
(What went wrong?)
This is for Table Seven, right?
(Food for Table 7 is served next.)
Right. It's for Table Seven.
- What? - What?
We didn't order jjajang tteokbokki.
- Didn't you order this? - No.
- You ordered guksu and... - Kimchi fried rice.
Kimchi fried rice. All right.
(Jjajang tteokbokki goes back to the kitchen.)
(MINO is studying the order sheets.)
Jjajang tteokbokki.
(Ji Won joins.)
Jjajang tteokbokki and...
kimchi fried rice.
- Serve kimchi fried rice. - This is for Table Seven.
Yes, if we have kimchi fried rice, it's done for Table Seven.
Why did I write it as Table Five?
(He's laughing.)
Is it wrong?
I think we're having a problem.
- I think we're having a problem. - I'm going to quit, Boss Kang.
- What? - I'm going to quit.
Su Geun, you should wait tables. He's quitting.
- Su Geun. - What?
(What?)
We might run out of it.
We can't help it.
To which table did you bring it?
It's not kimchi fried rice. It's jjajang tteokbokki.
It's medium size.
- Is it right? - That couple with the hood.
- Is that for Table Seven? - Yes.
Everyone, the rumor about you being lazy spread in Seoul,
and someone from the headquarters came here.
Hello.
- Hello. - Sir. What brought you here?
- Is everything going all right? - Yes.
I make this mistake 1 or 2 times out of 100,
but I guess I'm nervous as you're here. I'm not like this.
Haven't you boiled the noodles yet?
You need to make the noodles right after you get the order.
It takes too much time to make the noodles.
- I put so much effort into this. - Thank you.
- Today... - Why does he go out like that?
He needs to make the noodles.
You have orders waiting.
They say make haste slowly.
No, I mean you need to make the noodles ready first.
Have a cheerful look, Boss Kang.
We're doing this to be happy, right?
He's doing good.
Already?
I'm done with preparation.
Can you teach me how to cook?
- Don't teach anything. - I won't.
You need to chop the kimchi.
You can do it all by yourself.
It's all right. We ask for help to one another usually.
- Right. Okay. - We don't have to be conscious.
You're being so silly.
- You should slice it... - Gosh, really.
Go ahead and cook one for me.
Here's the ice.
All right.
What are we going to do?
We have to wash so many dishes.
Can't we hire a part-timer for this?
Gosh. I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry. What can I do?
It's all out.
The water ran over. It's all out.
We're ruined.
Su Geun. Let Su Geun do it.
Cotton candy.
Gosh, I feel dizzy.
Wait a minute.
- The red one. - Don't eat it.
What's wrong?
