(Planned by Master Lee Yeon Bok)
(Invite all previous masters.)
(By previous masters, do you mean...)
(the collection of elders, oddballs, and charismatic characters?)
Dragon, tiger, and phoenix will gather in one spot.
(They're gathering in one spot.)
It will be a very special scene.
(Scared)
(Soo Mi drops in even before the feast is ready.)
(Then Jeon In Kwon arrives next.)
(Something's definitely going to happen today.)
(Guys, guys!)
Master Jeon is here.
He's here?
Are they talking now?
- They're sitting side by side now. - They're sitting together?
(Let's take a peep at the historical shot of the two of them.)
(Peeking)
- Have a seat. - Yes, I will.
(Awkward)
(What's he going to do about this tension?)
You're very beautiful.
- Me? - Yes.
(Glowing)
Rather than on TV...
(Master 1 likes Master 21.)
Because I was very young...
when I played Il Yong's Mom,
people think I'm very old.
- No. - I'm very old.
We all know.
(Perfect match)
(It's suddenly getting affectionate in the Master Village.)
I ran away leaving Sang Yun alone.
You're very neat.
Thank you.
Do you have children?
I have a daughter and...
a son. I have one each.
- I also have two granddaughters. - I see.
What's taking them so long?
Se Hyeong.
(He escapes smoothly.)
You cruel jerks. Why didn't anyone come?
- You cruel jerks. - You know,
we should go and help them get along, right?
You shouldn't be spacing out, okay?
You look better in person than on TV.
That's what I wanted to say to you.
On TV...
(She can't continue talking.)
I kind of look like a bandit.
That's what you look like on TV,
- but you look very neat. - Thank you.
Hello.
- Hello. - I'm Seung Gi.
- Sir. - Oh, it's you, Seung Gi.
Goodness, you.
- Hello. - How have you been?
(Happy)
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for making time.
Thank you.
I should be thankful.
Is this your first time meeting each other?
- Yes. - Yes.
You two have been in this industry for so long...
- but haven't met before? - No.
Actually, I have butterflies in my stomach.
(I have butterflies in my stomach.)
(Shy)
She's so much prettier in person.
She's still like a young lady.
Exactly.
You're always so entertaining on-screen.
My mother will be shocked if she meets you.
You two look alike.
(You look like my mother.)
- You look like her. - Goodness.
- Really? - My mother is a beauty.
I see.
Is he confessing his feelings?
Do you take after your father or your mother?
I take after my mother.
(Disappointed)
My father and I don't have any similarities.
(I guess we're alike.)
My mother was so talented.
(We're treading on thin ice.)
She was a good dancer.
I'll serve them fried shrimp sandwiches first.
- Okay. - Okay.
You should pre-cook them at 130°C.
Then you finalize the dish at 190°C.
If you fail to control the temperature,
they'll soak up the oil.
Should we serve them right now?
(They confidently bring in the first dish.)
- They're fried shrimp sandwiches. - It's here.
(Seong Jae's menu)
It's freshly fried, so it's best to have it right now.
What is this?
(This is his first time seeing it.)
(Let me see.)
We just fried them.
It's a fried shrimp sandwich.
(They dip it in Master Lee's special sauce.)
You should dip it in the sauce.
- It'll taste better. - It looks nice.
(It's crispy on the outside.)
This is one of my favorites too.
(The shrimp is chewy on the inside.)
It's so delicious.
- I can use my hands, right? - Of course.
It's good.
(Biting)
It really feels great to meet our masters...
once more at the beginning of this year.
I know.
It's good.
- Is it good? - Yes.
Weren't you sick of always having rice crust and ham?
Isn't this better?
Rice crust is tasty.
(They feel like a family...)
(now that they know more about each other.)
It's good.
(It's a holiday feast with their masters.)
It's tasty.
(While they're having a heartwarming meal together,)
(someone approaches them.)
(Walking)
I smell something tasty.
(Surprised)
- Yuk Seong Jae. - Master Kang!
- Hi. - I missed you!
(He came all the way from Jeju Island.)
- Have you been well? - Happy New Year.
- I can't believe you came. - I know.
Hi, Lee Sang Yun.
- Have you been well? - Yes, I have.
(He's here!)
- Thank you. - I missed you.
I brought this from Jeju Island.
- Hold on. - Hello.
- Oh, my. - Thank you for coming.
- Hi, Lee Seung Gi. - Happy New Year.
- Oh, my. - Happy New Year.
- Hi. - Happy New Year.
Hello.
(Hello.)
He came from Jeju Island.
(Strange tension surrounds...)
(the people in the room.)
(Jeon In Kwon, the tiger of Samcheong-dong)
You little...
- Get out, you punk. - I said I didn't want to.
Do you want a piece of me?
(Kim Soo Mi, the foul-mouthed dragon)
The sun is rising
(Kang San Eh, the phoenix of Jeju Island)
(And last but not least, the one who will cook for them,)
They call him the lonely wolf of Myeong-dong.
(Lee Yeon Bok, the lonely wolf.)
(There's nothing...)
(these kids can do but just watch.)
This is my first time meeting you.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Kang San Eh, a singer.
(They can't handle this atmosphere.)
- Sit down. - Thank you.
(It's very awkward.)
- Happy New Year. - He's amazingly talented.
(They want to run away.)
Yes, I know already.
I feel so awkward.
- Have you been well? - Yes.
Usually when I meet people,
I tend to be one of the oldest in the group.
But today, I'm the youngest.
It's been ages since I've felt this way.
- You're right. - I'm dumbfounded.
It feels so awkward in there.
What should we do?
Master Kang is the youngest.
(Munching)
(Awkwardness fills the entire room.)
Bring this to the guests.
You need to show this to them.
It'll make a sound.
(Sizzling)
(Rice crust stew)
It makes this sound. This is rice crust stew.
(He is meticulous in every detail.)
They can eat it once it cools down.
For the Chinese steamed cabbage,
you should scoop up a lot of the vegetables.
(With the help of the master, the dishes are completed.)
Okay. With this dish,
the cabbage tastes very bland,
so you need to pour a lot on top.
How long do you think it takes us to complete a dish...
when we're very busy?
- 3 minutes. - It takes 1 minute.
- One minute? - What?
- One minute? - Yes.
(Through his 40-year experience,)
(he has made it possible to create a dish every minute.)
(Impressed)
It's done.
It's sea cucumber and abalone.
- This isn't easy for us to do. - I know.
(Seong Jae is mesmerized.)
- Dongpo pork. - Okay.
He even made Dongpo pork.
Let me bring this out.
(Master Lee has prepared a feast...)
(for this New Year dinner party.)
He is the master behind all of these dishes.
- I see. - Hello.
It's so tasty.
Thank you for coming.
Master Lee said that he has never had...
a master who taught him various things.
He said he was jealous...
that we could meet a new master every week.
He thought it'd be nice to serve dinner...
to our past masters who have taught us valuable life lessons.
I had no idea you'd come on such short notice.
I'm forever grateful that you made time for us.
(Despite the short notice, the masters came.)
(The dinner party begins.)
Thank you for the meal.
Please enjoy.
You've prepared many dishes.
- How is the rice crust stew? - I'm having a lot of it.
I'd like some more of the rice crust.
Give him more of it.
- He's a rice crust lover. - I've fallen in love...
with rice crusts.
(He loves them in any shape or form.)
So you made all of these dishes?
- That's correct. - He taught us.
- He was right beside us. - Even this?
- Yes. - Yes.
Seung Gi made it.
(Is it to his liking?)
It's very delicious.
(Everyone is enjoying the food,)
(but once again, silence sweeps over.)
(All the masters eat in silence.)
(What should they do?)
(Then suddenly...)
It's time for him to wake up.
(His phone disrupts the silence.)
Hello?
Yes.
(Does he need to crouch that much?)
Did he have to take the call at the corner of the room?
- How far is he going? - Where is he going?
Speak louder because I can't hear you.
- I wonder who's calling. - Is that necessary?
(He seems to be unnecessarily polite.)
(Confused)
Hello?
(Wasn't he on the phone?)
He thought he was on the phone.
He shook his head.
I can't hear you well.
Can you text me instead?
This is hilarious.
(Thanks to the call, they don't feel awkward anymore.)
- He seems to be so carefree. - Goodbye.
It was an important call, so I had to take it.
It's all right.
He seems to be nervous...
around Master Kim.
- Well... - Don't be nervous around me.
You can act friendlier with me.
He's so shy.
Don't be like that.
My... Oh, my...
I was always drawn to women...
like her who could lead a relationship.
Is that your ideal type?
Someone who leads you?
So I was always looking for women like her.
(But I'm off-limits.)
- I'm not exaggerating. - But I'm off-limits.
(Their love cannot be fulfilled.)
My family relations will become too complicated.
(We met too late.)
- Goodness. - It can't be done.
That's too hilarious.
- Goodness. - My goodness.
I wasn't asking for anything. Please don't misunderstand.
- Why are you stuttering? - I'm just saying...
- It's unlike you. - that I admire you.
By the way,
I know I shouldn't do this,
but I've prepared some New Year's money for you.
What?
You should give the money to us after we bow.
Stand up.
Can we really receive it?
Do a light bow.
- Then we'll bow to all of you. - We can bow together.
- No, please sit down. - Please sit down.
- We should be sitting down. - Yes.
We should bow to each other.
- That's before you get married. - You do that when families meet.
I think you can do that...
- next time. - All right.
Happy New Year to all of you,
and I hope you'll be healthy this year as well.
We're forever grateful that you have become...
our masters.
We all love you.
- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.
(Happy New Year.)
Thanks.
Come and receive your share.
(She sounds like his wife.)
- Goodness. - You know what?
I haven't received money on New Year's in 15 years.
Me too.
- It's been years. - Have a...
- Happy New Year. - Thank you.
How long has it been?
- Thank you. - It's been 15 years or so.
- It's been quite some time. - Yes.
Gosh, I'm jealous of you.
- We got our money. - This is mine.
This was a great idea.
Since Master Kang is also considered young,
he'd get money after he bows, right?
- No, he doesn't count. - I'm in a complicated position.
- I really am. - I don't know how much it is,
but watching him give you New Year's money is...
- so heartwarming. - Me too.
- We won't be able to use this. - Right.
- Sure. - This is...
I feel the same way.
- Keep it somewhere safe. - It's like...
- a letter. - Exactly.
Also,
I took a peek at it, and it's not that much.
(He put more value in his sincerity than in the money.)
It's not like we could splurge on anything even if we wanted to.
- The amount doesn't matter. - However,
- his sincerity matters. - My, my, Seung Gi.
(Don't spend it. Hold on to it.)
Goodness.
Master Jeon.
- Don't you just love how they talk? - I do.
It makes you feel young.
I spent two days with you that time.
I really miss those two days.
I wanted to see you guys again.
We missed you as well.
Thank goodness we invited her today.
- I know. - I really missed you.
It's all thanks to Master Lee.
I've prepared...
a New Year's gift that mothers want the most.
I'd like for you to give them to yours.
- What? - Really?
- Yes.
Goodness.
After our episode together,
we were mind-blown by what you'd taught us about our mothers.
- Exactly. - Yes.
- This is their gift, not ours. - Exactly.
Mothers really love handkerchiefs.
- Se Hyeong, come here. - Okay.
Look at this handkerchief.
I don't think I've ever seen my mom carry around a handkerchief.
Right?
I think we just never really paid attention to what they used.
She can use this before eating as well.
(This handkerchief is multi-purpose.)
She can put it around her neck.
She can wear this on top of a white blouse.
- That's very meaningful. - I know.
And this is my book.
- My mother wanted that book. - Se Hyeong.
I wrote a little note for your mother.
I'll read it out loud.
"To Se Hyeong's mother".
"Ma'am, you do not need to worry about your son anymore."
"You did a great job raising him."
"From now on, you should only focus on your health."
Below it, she wrote, "Koreans get their energy from eating rice."
She wrote today's date.
I prepared this in a hurry after receiving your call.
I'm so touched.
- Give this to your mother. - Thank you.
Goodness.
The presents are all the same.
("To Sang Yun's mother")
Thank you.
I can feel her warmth...
through her messages written for our mothers.
(Her love extends to their families.)
I think I can understand why Master Jeon had butterflies.
- Really? - Yes.
But we still can't be together.
(But we still can't be together.)
What should I do?
I was mesmerized by your gestures...
when you did this before.
- Still, we can't be in love! - Look at them.
(Our love cannot be fulfilled.)
This is not their first time meeting.
I know.
I'm sorry to interrupt,
- but Soo Mi needs to leave. - Already?
You made time during your busy schedule.
I have a live broadcast.
(She still made time for them.)
- Today... - Oh, no.
He seems to be disappointed.
(He can't hide his disappointment.)
You're like a pupil yourself.
I know. I feel that way as well.
What should I do? I have to leave.
She hasn't aged a bit. She's still a young lady.
How can we meet again?
I'm sure we'll meet again.
- I'll give you my number. - She needs to leave.
Oh, my. Those are my socks. I'm so embarrassed.
I rarely give out my number.
I see.
- San Eh, I'll give you one as well. - Thank you.
This is all that I can give.
- Chef Lee. - Yes?
You've taught them how to cook these dishes, so I'd like...
- to thank you as their guardian. - Don't mention it.
They're very fun.
After spending the day with them,
I felt refreshed. They're truly full of energy.
To be honest, I had been a bit down for the past few days.
I was a bit depressed.
After spending time with all of you today,
that feeling is all gone.
- That's great to hear. - It really did.
I feel good.
- By the way... - Do call me.
I will.
Make sure you call me!
(She acts cute.)
How could you leave after livening up the atmosphere?
- We'll feel so awkward. - Goodbye.
- I'll see you later again. - She can't leave.
Don't come out.
You'll ruin the mood.
- Not at all. - Don't worry.
Don't come out.
- Don't. - Okay.
Stay inside.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
We're all just standing here.
(Glancing)
(Feeling uncomfortable)
(Awkwardness sweeps over the room once again.)
(They were laughing all together 10 minutes ago.)
(Soo Mi is gone...)
(and has left them in silence.)
(We have to do something about this.)
(Seung Gi goes out,)
(pretending to receive a call.)
- I'll be back. - Okay.
(They need to find a solution to this awkwardness.)
(They gather to discuss.)
Hey, Se Hyeong.
The mood has changed abruptly after Master Kim left.
I know.
Let's play a game, and the loser has to do the dishes.
- What game? - Any.
It can be very simple.
(What's an easy game to play?)
(Their new mission is to liven up...)
(this dead atmosphere.)
- We've brought oyster jjamppong. - Oyster jjamppong is here.
(1st step: Bring them oyster jjamppong)
- It looks tasty. - Thank you.
(Sang Yun's menu)
(It's light and has the taste of the ocean.)
(Master Lee, who taught him the recipe, also tastes it.)
(It's delicious.)
This is nice.
It feels great to have a meal together.
I feel comfortable.
(Let's lift the mood up.)
We were talking about something.
(What does he want to say?)
We're now finishing up our meal.
One of us needs to appoint a member...
who will do the dishes.
Someone needs to do the dishes.
You know how we always play a game?
So I thought we could...
split into teams with you guys.
(What?)
- It'll be simple. - We'll play a quick game.
You don't even need to stand up.
- You can play it sitting down. - It'll be a simple game.
We'll play the game with you guys to choose who will do the dishes?
- The person who'll do the dishes? - Right.
You guys won't do the dishes.
- You'll just play the game with us. - One of us will do the dishes.
(We'll do the dishes, so please play the game with us.)
I'll do it.
Thank you.
Could each of you pick...
a member whom you'd like to be a team with?
The remaining member will be the emcee.
I've already chosen mine.
- Who? - Se Hyeong.
(In Kwon chooses Se Hyeong.)
- Then we'll be a team. - All right.
I pick him.
- All right. - Seong Jae.
(San Eh picks Seong Jae.)
Seung Gi should be the emcee.
- Right. - But...
(That means Seung Gi is free from doing the dishes.)
Hey, now. Master Lee has spoken.
All right.
Then these two will be a team.
All right, then. We'll now begin...
a simple game to decide who will do the dishes.
- Will it be hard? - Not at all.
- It'll be... - Shall we play a practice round?
Sure.
This is very simple.
It's called "Unanimous Telepathy Game".
Okay.
(He overreacts to make them excited.)
(What is that?)
- This will be our game. - What kind of game is this?
It's a game to see how well the master and pupil are connected...
by asking them to say the same answer.
I'll give you two keywords.
For example, jajangmyeon or jjamppong.
In 3 seconds, you'll pick 1 of them.
(What?)
(He doesn't seem to understand.)
(I don't think he understood.)
We'll show you.
Jajangmyeon or jjamppong? 1, 2, 3.
- Jajangmyeon. - Jajangmyeon.
Mountain or the ocean? 1, 2, 3.
- Ocean. - Ocean.
If you get the same answer, you pass.
Right, and we'll continue on.
Isn't this telepathy?
Yes, it is.
(Did he finally get it?)
Let's try it. Jajangmyeon or jjamppong? 1, 2, 3.
- Jajangmyeon. - Jjamppong. Right, like that.
But this time, we didn't match.
- I know. - Okay.
(He's so laidback.)
- I know when I'm wrong. - I see.
(Everyone has finally understood.)
All right. We'll start one team at a time.
- The order will be... - How do we start?
- Do you just say start? - No.
- This is how you do it. - We'll do rock-paper-scissors.
Here is a random game that someone likes
You just have to do this gesture.
- This is all you need to do. - Got it.
- Just do this. - I understand.
That's turning a millstone.
Like this.
Since Master Jeon is showing the most enthusiasm,
we will play a random game In Kwon likes.
Here we go.
- Random game In Kwon likes - Random game In Kwon likes
(Hesitating)
- Random game - Random game
- Which game is it - Which game is it
Let's play the telepathy game. Here we go.
Mul naengmyeon or bibim naengmyeon?
- Mul naengmyeon. - Mul naengmyeon.
(They gave the same answer.)
They both chose mul naengmyeon, so they passed.
Let's do two more.
Kimchi Jjigae or doenjang jjigae? 1, 2, 3.
- Kimchi jjigae. - Kimchi jjigae.
(They are good.)
This is the last one. Jjajangmyeon or jjamppong? 1, 2, 3.
- Jjamppong. - Jjamppong.
(They become one with jjamppong.)
They got all three and passed.
We're good.
Let's do this.
- All right. - I think we will do well.
If you are born again,
will you be a man or a woman?
1, 2, 3.
- A woman. - A man.
- You want to be a woman. - Why?
(They got the first question wrong.)
What's that?
- You want to be a woman. - Why...
Why do you want to be born as a woman?
I've tried living as a man.
- That makes sense. - That makes sense.
- Everyone thinks differently. - I know.
If that's the case, I think I would want to be a woman too.
- Right. - They failed.
- Let's do well. - We have to concentrate.
- Let's do well. - I will concentrate.
Did you understand it, Master Jeon?
- He gets it. - All right. Here we go.
I hope he gets it.
- Let's start with an easy one. - Okay.
Rice crust or honey powder?
(To In Kwon, it's like...)
(asking if he likes his father more or his mother more.)
In Chinese cuisine, rice crust stew is a special dish.
(Still,)
(he just had rice crust.)
1, 2, 3.
- Honey powder. - Rice crust.
(I like honey powder more.)
(Honey powder)
(He's the funniest master on Master in the House.)
You just had rice crust stew.
You had so much rice crust earlier.
- Wait. - You like rice crust.
- Honey powder is the best snack. - You just had rice crust.
A while ago, you said you had to...
taste the true taste of rice crust...
and scraped the bowl.
You just had the rice crust stew, and you chose the honey powder.
You didn't do it secretly.
- No. No. - He said it was really good,
and he was really excited. But he chose the honey powder.
- Honey powder. - Now...
- What do we do now?
we have to play a game.
- Let's play the tangsuyuk game. - Let's play the tangsuyuk game.
- What's that now? - I will teach you.
I will begin first. Tang. Su.
Yuk. Tang. Su. Yuk.
- Okay. - You have to do it fast.
- Let's start slow at first. - Okay.
Ready. This is tangsuyuk game. Start.
- Tang. - Su.
- Yuk. - Tang.
- Su. - Yuk.
- Tang. - Sa.
(Sa?)
- Tang. - Sa.
(Tangsayuk?)
Se Hyeong wins.
- So that's how it goes. - What's up with "sa"?
Why did you say "sa"?
- So that's how it goes. - What's "tangsayuk"?
Maybe you were thinking of Sichuan tangsuyuk.
So this is how it works.
I heard Sichuan tangsuyuk is really good.
- We're supposed to play 3 times. - We will play 3 times.
- Let's play it just for fun. - Okay.
- Master Jeon... - Just once. Just for fun.
Master Jeon wants to try it.
- Go ahead. - I wanted to try it.
- Start. - This is the tangsuyuk game.
- All right. - Let's start with Se Hyeong.
Start. Start the tangsuyuk game.
- Tang. - Su.
- Yuk. - Tang.
Su.
- Tang. - Tang.
- You can't do it. - It's hard.
- It's hard, isn't it? - Do you want to try it again?
It's actually quite hard. Tangsuyuk.
Yes. But there is a more difficult one.
- There's tomato game too. - We say the word tomato.
That must be really confusing.
Tomato. You just keep saying tomato.
- Let's try it. - Tomato?
- Tomato. - Yes.
- To. - Ma.
Ma.
(He should've said "to".)
(Tomato)
(Mamato)
- "To". - It's more difficult.
To.
- Ma. - To.
Stop.
Did I get it wrong?
Yes.
It looks easy, but it's confusing.
It's confusing.
(It's harder than it looks.)
You enjoyed the game...
more than I expected.
Since it's Lunar New Year, we will call each other's name.
We will play the ting ting tang tang frying pan game.
- This is going to be hard. - What?
(Ting ting?)
(Tang tang?)
(I don't get it.)
This is going to be hard.
- Is it difficult? - One team will lose.
Ting ting what?
(How does it go?)
Let's show the masters how it works.
The four of us should play it. Let's start.
Ting, ting, ting, ting, tang, tang, tang, tang
Ting, ting, tang, tang, frying pan game
Se Hyeong three.
Se Hyeong, Se Hyeong, Se Hyeong. Seung Gi two.
Seung Gi, Seung Gi.
(They are in the same space.)
(But they feel like they've been deserted in a remote island.)
(We have no idea...)
(what they are doing.)
(They are completely lost.)
- It's a rhythm game. - It requires a sense of rhythm.
- It's a rhythm game. - So you have to do this.
- If it's four... - Yes, there are 4 beats in 1 set.
- 1, 2, 3, 4. - Right.
If it's 4, you have to say the name 4 times.
What do you have to do if it's "In Kwon one"?
- 1, 2, 3, In Kwon. - I... In Kwon.
How about if I say "In Kwon two"?
1, 2, In Kwon, In Kwon.
Right. Right.
You just need to know those two.
The person who came up with this game...
would have never imagined Master Jeon would be doing this.
(We never knew Master Jeon would be playing this game.)
Let's begin now.
This is the final game.
The practice game is over. Let's start the final game.
Why am I so nervous?
- Let's do this. - The final winner...
(He's determined.)
(I can't let my teammate wet his hands.)
- 1, 2, 3, 4. - 1, 2, 3, 4.
Ting, ting, ting, ting, tang, tang, tang, tang
Ting, ting, tang, tang, frying pan game
San Eh one.
San Eh. Se Hyeong three.
Se Hyeong, Se Hyeong, Se Hyeong. San Eh three.
(He attacks San Eh back.)
(He attacks San Eh with the trickiest number, three.)
San Eh three.
San Eh, San Eh, San Eh.
(He's good.)
In Kwon one.
(Did you call me?)
(Please do well.)
In Kwon one.
In Kwon.
Seung Yoon two.
(Is that Seung Gi and Sang Yun combined?)
Sang Yun, Sang Yun. Se Hyeong three.
Se Hyeong, Se Hyeong, Se Hyeong. Yeon Bok one.
Yeon Bok. In Kwon three.
In Kwon, wait.
(He stammers.)
(Master Jeon fails.)
- Wait. Wait. - Wait.
As the judge,
- I pronounced it too strongly. - You didn't say his name right.
This is the violation of human rights.
I agree.
He should've said "In Kwon". He said "human right" instead.
I think it could be confusing.
- He's getting a warning for it. - Okay.
Master Jeon did this.
"In Kwon. Wait..."
That's wrong.
- We will... - Please say the names right.
- All right. - Let's start with Yeon Bok.
Start.
In Kwon two.
In Kwon, In Kwon. Sang Yun one.
(In Kwon attacks, and Sang Yun defends.)
Sang Yun. In Kwon three.
(In Kwon three)
(He attacks In Kwon well this time.)
(What will happen?)
In Kwon three.
- In Kwon, In Kwon, In Kwon. - Nice.
(He forgets to attack.)
- You fail. - Why?
(He defended himself perfectly.)
(But he became quiet after that.)
- You had to attack. - Right.
(In Kwon really failed this time.)
He said his names right.
I was enraptured by extreme happiness.
(I can't believe I managed to do In Kwon three.)
Team Se Hyeong will do the dishes.
Well done.
Team Jeon In Kwon lost.
But we didn't just lose.
We lost while being enraptured by happiness.
Are you satisfied then?
We didn't really lose.
He looks like a winner.
People might think he won. Congratulations.
Since he lost, he will do the dishes alone, right?
- While feeling happy. - You want me to do all of this?
(All of this?)
- I will do it. Don't worry. - We will do it.
- Please sit here comfortably. - Thanks to you,
I laughed a lot.
I laughed a lot too.
While laughing,
I realized I haven't laughed like this in such a long time.
It just dawned on me.
Today's been really fun.
I haven't felt so nervous in such a long time.
(I haven't felt so nervous in such a long time.)
This is crazy.
(Smiling)
Thank you so much.
Come to Jeju Island.
- Okay. - We will make sure to go.
Please contact me if you come.
- Yield Club. - Let's play there.
- I am using the cards well. - Good job today.
- The cards? - Thank you.
Thank you, Master Kang.
I missed you, Se Hyeong.
- I will visit you in Jeju Island. - Okay.
Please take good care of them.
(Thanks to Yeon Bok, they reunited with the masters.)
They always do well anyway.
I laughed so much.
I think this is the meaning of a holiday.
I love you, everyone.
- Is it here? - Yes, this is my house.
(Shifu's dream house)
What's this?
It's...
It looks like a house you see in films.
(Isn't it like a gate you see in a drama?)
It's been just over a year since we moved here.
A year?
- You built it, didn't you? - What? Yes.
(Shifu designed and built...)
(this special dream house.)
- This is a lovely house. - There's a golf practice area.
It's a three-story house.
- You built it, didn't you? - What? Yes.
(He designed it while discussing it with his family.)
- This is a lovely house. - There's a golf practice area.
It's a three-story house.
- This is the 1st floor. - The 1st floor.
It's amazing.
Excuse us.
It's like a field.
- It's really nice. - This is incredible.
What's this?
(On the first floor,)
This is really nice.
(there is a living room with a big glass window.)
We live with our daughter.
Our daughter and our son-in-law.
They live on the second floor.
But we use different stairs for privacy.
Right.
- That's how it's designed. - Are these the stairs?
No, the stairs are over there.
This is a slide for our grandson, so he can slide down from his room.
This is a slide?
(You have a slide in the house?)
He must love this.
Does he know how much they care about him?
Does he know that they love him enough to build him a slide?
You included this in the plans when you were building the house.
Right.
(He designed it just for his grandson.)
Are these toys for him too?
They are game consoles.
My son-in-law, grandson, and I play together.
- We play here. - You play together.
- This space is shared by everyone. - It's shared by everyone.
(When they play, they play together on the 1st floor.)
We play together here.
When it's time to sleep, they go to the second floor,
and we go to the third floor.
(They sleep on different floors.)
How do we go to your living quarter?
This way. I will show you.
- You have to go outside. - Is there another entrance?
- The entrance is different. - It's different.
I will show you the rooftop first.
This house is well-built.
It's so difficult to go to the rooftop.
(They take the stairs and go to the 4th floor.)
This house is well-built.
There's a kitchen here too.
It's a rotisserie grill.
That's for when...
When the weather is warm, we come up to the rooftop and...
You have a barbecue party.
- My goodness. - We have a barbecue or cook.
This is incredible.
Here.
This is such a great place.
(It's the terrace for an outdoor party.)
It's like a castle wall.
(He loves it.)
Master.
I want to visit you again.
- You built it so well. - Visit me often.
This is...
I've never seen this kind of layout.
Did you always live with your daughter's family?
We used to live separately.
You recently moved in together?
That's why we discussed it...
with our daughter and son-in-law while designing this house.
We asked if they want to move in with us.
Your daughter and son-in-law...
must've been careful...
about making the decision.
But what's good about us is that...
I am like a friend to my son and my son-in-law.
My son-in-law doesn't find me difficult.
We are like friends.
It's fun to be with each other.
We work out together.
Whenever we crave for something, we go out...
and eat it with some beer.
- We sometimes drink kaoliang wine. - That's amazing.
You must be so happy.
I'd be so happy if I meet a father-in-law like him.
- Right? - Really.
He doesn't pressure you.
If my children allow it,
I would want to live like this.
When you live,
you get dreams.
When you achieve those dreams one at a time...
When you achieve your goals,
it feels amazing.
How long have you been dreaming of this?
It's been my dream.
It hasn't been my dream for a couple years, but a couple decades.
I wanted to live like this when I earn enough.
I wanted to live like this when I become successful,
I just kept working and got this far.
(He's been working for 40 years for this one dream.)
Was it your dream to live in a house like this with your family?
Right.
(Shifu's dream gradually completed the dream house.)
- Let's go down to the third floor. - Okay.
This space isn't that big.
This is...
This is where my wife and I live.
(This is where the master and his wife live.)
The two of you use this area.
(It's very neat.)
- It's perfect. This is the best. - It's very modern here.
This is the best.
(Necessary things are placed in the perfect place.)
I can't help but be in awe of his home.
(It's a compact yet modern space.)
This is such a great house.
What's this...
(It's Shifu's small study.)
This is my study.
- Your study. - Yes.
This is the watch I got from the Blue House.
(The cabinet is filled with his treasures.)
- Did you receive it recently? - Yes.
You got it from President Moon.
(It's the watch that commemorates being invited to the Blue House.)
Why don't you wear it?
You can't wear that.
It's a memento.
Those are gold carnations.
(Gold carnations)
- Where did you get those? - Who gave you those?
My pupils gave them to me.
They are from our pupils.
- It's... - There's a safe here.
- Wait. You put gold outside. - I know.
What's inside your safe?
I know. You put the gold outside.
I will...
You can't get his password.
Why did you try to get my password?
We will cover it.
- Like this. - I wasn't thinking.
(Seong Jae's camera)
(But he can't stop looking at the safe.)
- What would be inside? - What's inside?
What's inside it?
- What's that? - I prepared this for you.
It obviously looks very precise.
It's so precious that I put it in the safe.
(How precious must it be?)
Among the four of you...
(Among the four of you...)
(No way.)
I will choose one as my favorite pupil.
And he will receive this.
Really?
(He will choose a favorite pupil and give him the memento.)
By the way,
that would mean that you are officially his pupil.
When you show that to people,
it means you've been accepted as Master Lee Yeon Bok's pupil.
(Se Hyeong's camera)
It's mine!
- This... - I always say this.
- I can't lose this to Sang Yun. - I will...
I'm sorry, but I won't be funny anymore.
I won't be funny until tomorrow.
I can't miss that.
I can't relax.
How will you choose your favorite pupil?
You will go through a test.
(You will go through a test to become the favorite pupil.)
I will test you here.
(He's determined.)
Let's go down and begin the test.
- We will get changed. - Let's get changed.
- Okay. - I will take this with me.
I am sorry, guys.
I will have to be fierce.
I am sorry, guys.
You should give up.
Today. I will take the prize.
Everyone is eager to win the prize.
But you all know, don't you?
It's mine anyway.
I always win everything.
(Who will become Shifu's favorite pupil?)
First of all, the test will continue until tomorrow morning.
This will be a survival test.
A survival test?
(A survival test begins.)
It will be a survival test.
Does it mean people will get eliminated?
One person will get eliminated at a time.
- How will it work? - You'll get eliminated one by one.
I love this.
So the person who gets eliminated...
will have to participate knowing that he's got no chance.
He will just get dragged.
- There must be something. - I...
I care about your character.
So there might be a twist.
If the person who gets eliminated tries really hard...
and touches me,
he might win the prize.
By the way, is that how great...
this prize is?
If you can't trust me, you don't need to participate.
His personality is...
He's always casting doubts.
- He doubts others. - He's doubting you, Shifu.
- I knew he'd get in trouble. - He doesn't deserve it.
I knew he'd get in trouble one day for having that personality.
When I said that,
these two completely crushed me. You saw that, right?
Please keep that in mind.
I asked that question because...
the viewers might wonder why we have to want it so badly.
You should be worried about yourself first.
Right.
Why would you worry about the viewers?
You are not trying to become the favorite pupil of the viewers.
- What? - He's right.
Don't be so sly.
(He punishes Seong Jae.)
You will get deductions for that.
You bullied your friend.
- He pulled my ear. - You bullied him.
I was just playing with him.
It means we are close.
It's obvious that he's going to get eliminated.
(They will continue to attack each other.)
Anyway, let's begin the first test.
This is very important in my life.
When I was working at an embassy,
I got a nose surgery. I had a sinus infection.
They damaged the nerves,
and I lost the sense of smell.
After losing the sense of smell,
I couldn't taste things properly.
That's when I realized how important sense of smell is.
When I was struggling a lot,
I gave myself some rules.
I decided not to eat breakfast,
not to smoke,
and not to drink too much.
When you cook with an empty stomach,
your taste buds are sharp.
When you smoke, your mouth feels unpleasant.
So I quit smoking.
You did all of that to keep your taste buds...
- sharp. - Yes.
If ever you lose the sense of smell,
your sense of taste develops, as long as you train well.
To become Shifu's favorite pupil,
you have to have the acute sense of taste.
You have to have that as his favorite pupil.
So let's test it.
(Let's test your sense of taste.)
(Our sense of taste?)
I brought out everything in our fridge.
What?
(There are cooking ingredients in that basket?)
The first test is...
(Favorite pupil selection round 1)
This is the very important palate test.
- Palate. - Palate test.
All right.
I will give you five seconds to scan the ingredients.
I will cover it up again after five seconds.
All right.
5, 4, 3.
5, 4,
- 3, 2. - I've never seen those.
One. Time's up.
That's it.
There were things I have never seen before.
(He scans the entire basket.)
I don't know what they are called.
First of all, close your eyes and hold your nose.
- We have to hold our nose too. - We have to hold our nose.
I will put an ingredient in your mouth.
Then you will tell me what you taste.
You have to distinguish the sweet, bitter, and salty taste.
You have to only rely on the sense of your tongue.
I am at a disadvantage.
Whenever I eat, I rely on my nose more than my mouth.
I focus more on the sense of smell.
If I hold my nose, I won't do well.
That's what the master wants you to do, so you should just do it.
Why do you have to comment on it?
My gosh.
You heard him, didn't you?
He's bad.
I actually like watching...
people getting into a fight.
- I enjoy it. - He's the former lonely wolf.
The survival game begins.
He's the former lonely wolf. He likes these things.
This is round one of the test, right?
I feel competitive.
- Let's give it a try. - Let's give it a try.
- Your eyes are all covered, right? - Yes.
We won't use any tricks.
Okay.
(Everything depends on their tongue now.)
My voice proves...
that my nose is held.
Right.
(Green onion)
This is...
(It's going to be spicy.)
This is not that difficult.
(He slices it into a small chunk...)
(and takes out the innermost part.)
My gosh.
This might be confusing.
(They can't feel the pungent smell.)
Here we go.
All right. 1, 2, 3.
Please put it up.
[Kocowa Ver] E55 Master in the House / All the Butlers "Becoming the Favorite Pupil" -= Ruo Xi =-
I got it.
Garlic.
- What? - Garlic.
(He means garlic.)
No.
(It must be really difficult.)
I got it.
Onion.
No.
Wasn't it garlic?
It wasn't garlic.
He's shocked...
that his palate is wrong.
They must've finished it.
- I can't taste anything now. - He ate everything.
It's not onion.
I think you need to give us more.
It's something...
It's something with a pungent flavor.
- Really? - Cover their eyes again.
- Let's try it again. - Let's try it again.
- Let's cover your eyes again. - Give us a bigger chunk.
A bigger chunk.
(They prepare the ingredient once again.)
They want bigger chunks.
- This is surprising. - This is surprising.
I think they like the taste of it.
They like it.
(It's huge.)
They have to know now.
- They will get it this time. - Right.
Here we go.
1, 2, 3.
Take off the blindfold.
- I think I can guess it fast. - This is...
This is easy.
You can open your eyes, Sang Yun.
I got it.
You gave too much this time.
Green onion.
(Green onion)
You got it. You're like Mr. Choi Bool Am.
(As soon as they take out the pins, they smell the green onion.)
You asked for a lot.
- Gosh. - You asked for a lot.
Here.
(Why am I fine?)
- You are very strange. - You ate a piece that's this big.
- It was this big. - It was the white part.
You ate a big chunk of the white part.
It's sweet at first.
- It's sweet. - It's sweet at first.
But because the flavor is so pungent,
my brain told me, "You idiot. This is green onion."
(His brain detected danger and told him the answer.)
I think the flavor went straight to the brain.
Se Hyeong...
wins.
- Put on the blindfold. - I will put on the blindfold.
Can I take this home?
You can't see anything.
- Really? - It completely covers your eyes.
It completely covers your eyes.
All right.
(What will they taste?)
(Sweet potato)
What's the difficulty level?
It's...
(Experience the spiciness of wasabi.)
- Medium to high. - Medium to high.
Is it high?
Here.
Feed it to them.
(They get a piece of sweet potato and a small bit of wasabi.)
Open your mouth. In goes a spoon.
Eat it.
(Will they be able to guess the two ingredients?)
Should I take out his blindfold?
(What?)
(Isn't it spicy?)
(Something stings.)
(But is it quite bearable?)
(Seung Gi is frowning.)
(What is this?)
I got it.
Carrot and gochujang?
(Carrot and gochujang)
- No. - No.
I got it.
Wasabi and sweet potato.
(Wasabi and sweet potato)
You got it.
(Seung Gi got it at the first try.)
- How could you guess that? - He's amazing.
Seung Gi is amazing.
- He got it right. - Sweet potato.
Sweet potato and wasabi.
(Seong Jae fails the preliminary round without breaking a sweat.)
According to its texture,
it had to be either potato or sweet potato.
You used the texture to decipher.
Yes. It had to be either potato or sweet potato.
I felt a little bit of sweetness towards the end.
That's why I knew it had to be sweet potato.
He's amazing.
- Seung Gi's got a sharp palate. - He's amazing.
I found a new talent.
My goodness.
I think I found something I am not good at.
(He's got an amazing palate in a different way.)
(A supplementary video)
(It's crunchy.)
(When he covers his nose, he can eat an onion like an apple.)
It doesn't taste like anything. I am in trouble.
I think I am losing my sense of taste.
(Thanks to Shifu, he unexpectedly found a talent.)
Lunar New Year is coming.
In China, the most important dish of Lunar New Year is...
dumplings. They make dumplings with their family.
Right.
(Lunar New Year is the biggest holiday in China.)
(They make dumplings the day before Lunar New Year...)
(and eat the dumplings at midnight.)
Let's prepare the ingredients and make some dumplings.
- That's going to be delicious. - I really love dumplings.
- Do you? - I love dumplings.
We are adding a special ingredient to the filling.
- A special ingredient? - A special ingredient?
Does it make the dumpling more delicious?
Or does it make the dumpling less delicious?
It doesn't affect the taste at all.
(Then why are we putting it in?)
It doesn't affect the taste at all.
You only put it in on Lunar New Year.
What is it?
There must be a reason why you usually leave it out.
Right.
(It doesn't sound like it would be an ordinary ingredient.)
(He doubts his eyes.)
We are putting these in.
(They are terrified.)
- Coins? - We are putting in coins?
I am going to put...
(They are real coins.)
- I am going to put... - Why coins?
In China,
you put jujube, candy, and coins.
You test...
- your luck. - You test your luck.
It might tell you that you are going to have a lot of children.
That's one of them. Or that you'll have a lucky year.
If you get a coin,
you get a cash prize depending on how much the coin costs.
For example, a dollar for a penny or 5 dollars for 5 cents.
- If you get 10 cents... - 10 dollars.
Yes, 10 dollars.
First, we'll have to boil these to sterilize them.
(They must be sterilized in boiling water.)
Then what should we do to make dumplings?
- Shall we get ready? - Yes, shall we?
I actually had a dumpling restaurant in the past.
- You did? - Yes.
When I returned to Korea after spending 10 years in Japan,
I opened a dumpling place to make more people know about dumplings.
(He opened a Chinese dumpling place.)
But many customers asked if they had to pay even for dumplings.
So many people assumed it was free.
Later on, I found out that restaurants...
started giving dumplings out for free while I was in Japan.
Pan-fried dumplings are usually free.
That really baffled me.
- I see. - I thought to myself,
"I can't believe dumplings are treated like this."
"This won't work."
(He made a decision.)
"I'll take it off the menu." So I took dumplings off altogether.
Then people who have had my dumplings...
came back and said they'd pay and asked me to make them again,
so I put them back on the menu.
After that, my dumplings started selling like hotcakes.
I made customers call beforehand to order dumplings.
Those who didn't call ahead couldn't eat them.
- Oh, my goodness. - Call ahead to order dumplings.
I got so many calls from people wanting to order my dumplings.
Then how many dumplings did you make a day?
Back then, I had to make...
around 800 to 900 on average.
- 800 to 900 dumpling? - Yes.
- Every day. - My gosh.
- So these are special dumplings. - That's right.
Guys, these are limited-edition dumplings.
Take a coin and put it in like this.
(The chewy dumpling wrappers are made from well-kneaded dough.)
- That's perfect. - No one will be able to tell.
(They are filled with fillings made with chicken broth.)
If you're very lucky,
you can get all the dumplings with coins.
- All of them. - Right.
It's possible that the first dumpling I pick has 50 cents.
Exactly.
That means I'm very lucky.
It'd be so awesome...
if your dad or uncle did this on the holidays.
(They forget about the competition and focus on making dumplings.)
- This will be so delicious. - Like this.
It looks so good.
Then quickly dip them in cold water.
(Rinse them in cold water immediately.)
This makes the wrappers firmer.
It makes them firmer.
- And they don't harden. - That's why...
there's always water like this.
(Master's rare boiled dumplings are ready.)
- Let's just taste them. - Oh, my.
Master Lee, you're amazing. Thank you.
(Master Lee completed Chinese New Year dish in a flash.)
- We get to taste these. - It looks delicious.
- This looks so good. - What a lucky day.
The dumplings we made with Master Lee.
- The texture is amazing. - Me too.
Let me see if it's seasoned well.
Did you get some?
(Satisfied)
(Curious)
(Enjoying)
(They're both amazed.)
- These dumplings are so good. - It took you...
no time at all, but they're incredibly delicious.
It's really good.
These dumplings are amazing.
It's so good.
(What?)
(Looking around)
Master, I...
I just bit on something hard.
Really? My gosh, you're lucky.
Let me see. Is it in your mouth now?
I'm not kidding.
(It's his first dumpling.)
(Did he really get a coin?)
He got a penny.
- That's a penny. - Oh, my.
- He got a penny. - In his first dumpling.
(He got a penny in his first dumpling.)
(Will 2019 be a lucky year for Seong Jae?)
So what will happen now?
He'll receive a cash prize.
(Seong Jae receives a prize for finding a penny.)
(He gets a cash prize.)
- My gosh, Master Lee. - Is there really a prize?
- Of course. - Oh, my.
In Chinese, this is called "hongbao".
You get your cash prize in this red envelope.
(The red envelope is getting their competitive juices flowing.)
- Here's your prize. - Thank you.
- "Fortune". - "Fortune".
Oh, my goodness. This is making me eat more dumplings.
(I will get a cash prize too.)
Enjoy.
(They're all trying to find coins.)
These are so good.
I'm going to find all the coins today.
(Rummaging)
(Let's see.)
(The coin detector is on.)
You have to take it if you made it burst.
(You punk, take the one you burst.)
I couldn't pick it up.
What are you talking about? I saw you popping it.
This is... This is why...
Because of people who do this,
this tradition is disappearing.
(Greed is destroying the tradition.)
Kids would keep poking dumplings to burst them.
- And they overeat to find... - What's going on?
(Doing a silly dance)
(Did he manage to find a coin...)
(after destroying the tradition?)
- Seriously? - It's so good!
(I fooled you all.)
(Right at that moment)
Guys, I'm really sorry.
- Seriously? - I guess 2019 will be my year.
Oh, my. It's the Year of the Pig indeed.
(Did he really find another coin?)
- It must be true. - Did he really get one?
I think he's being serious.
(Will Seong Jae get all the coins?)
He got one.
(Every dumpling he picks has a coin in it.)
(Unbelievable)
- He's getting all the coins. - He got a dime.
- It's a dime. - A dime.
(I've earned 11 cents.)
Gosh, I'm jealous.
Out of all these dumplings...
(I've won double prizes.)
So one of you won two prizes.
(He's over the moon.)
This year will be a lucky one for me. Thank you, Master.
Lee Yeon Bok.
(Being lucky 2 times in a row)
Lee Yeon Bok.
(How witty.)
Lee Yeon Bok.
(Seong Jae will be on a lucky streak in 2019.)
How did I not even get one out of all these dumplings I ate?
I got all the ones with coins.
(Because I took them all.)
- They were so good though. - About the final round,
what will our mission be?
We need to know so that we can prepare ourselves mentally.
Okay.
I'd like you guys to get creative...
and come up with dishes using the leftover dumplings.
I see, using the dumplings.
Three additional judges will join us...
to taste and evaluate your dishes.
- 3 additional judges? - There are more judges?
They're picky eaters.
(He invited picky judges.)
Tomorrow, we'll come up with a creative, mind-blowing recipe...
using the dumplings.
I'm looking forward to it.
(The day of the showdown is here.)
- That looks so good. - Wouldn't it be game over?
It'll be game over. We'll totally win.
Se Hyeong, what are you going to make?
What's happening with the mackerel?
Mackerel?
(Very serious)
I don't think the light reflects like that when you're on the phone.
(I got caught.)
(The main screen was left on.)
(Seong Jae saw through his trick.)
- Hey, you were like... - You punk.
- What? - You're so quick-witted.
An hour and a half to the final match.
- Get started. - Let's get started.
- Move, move. Let's get moving. - Okay.
What's this? What's in here?
- Live long-legged octopuses? - Live long-legged octopuses?
- They're very expensive.
- Live long-legged octopuses. - I'll make...
stir-fried octopus them.
- Stir-fried octopus? - You'll stir-fry them?
- Yes. - What about the dumplings though?
Right, I thought spicy stir-fried long-legged octopus...
would go well with the dumplings. But I'll make another dish,
which will be like my secret weapon. They'll be served together.
Dumpling stew. Look at this. Wrap it like this.
- Shall I wrap them too? - Yes, share your lucky energy.
I'll make a wish as I'm doing this.
(Each wrapped dumpling is infused with their lucky energy.)
This will be so delicious.
Those who eat this will be so happy.
(We must satisfy the mysterious judges!)
(Will Chef Se Hyeong's stir-fried long-legged octopus win?)
I'll mix the seasoning into the broth now.
(Or will this dumpling stew win?)
The last step toward the treasure.
(Or will this dumpling stew win?)
They'll be here very soon.
- Okay, just a moment. - The judges are almost here.
Let's tidy up since the guests will be here shortly.
Oh, they're here.
- They're here. - Already?
Oh, hello. Come on in.
- My gosh, welcome. - Who is it?
Come on in. My gosh.
(Who are the picky judges?)
- What a nice place. - Your place is so nice.
You can wear these slippers.
- Hello. - My gosh, hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Since this is about selecting my new favorite student,
I invited my original favorite student.
My gosh, I see.
- Hello. - He understands Chinese customs...
- because he's Chinese. - Hello.
(Nice to meet you.)
- Nice to meet you. - Hello.
My gosh, you invited your close acquaintances.
And this is... You guys probably don't know who he is.
He has a restaurant in Seogyo-dong.
He's my mentor.
- You can think of him as my master. - My gosh,
you certainly invited judges with picky palates.
(They won't be easy to please.)
- Oh, my. - The food smells so good.
Please have a seat over here.
All right, here it comes.
(The showdown has begun.)
- All right. - Oh, my.
Did you make two plates of it?
- Enjoy. - Oh, my!
Look at that.
(Se Hyeong's dish)
I've never seen this before.
It's long-legged octopus with deep-fried dumplings.
- It looks pretty good. - Master, this looks good.
(Seung Gi's dish)
I'll serve it when it's piping hot.
This is my dumpling stew.
(Seung Gi's dumpling stew)
(He made flowers with the dumplings.)
Anyway, it's very nice to meet you all.
(Their delicious New Year spread is ready.)
On New Year's Day, people usually gather...
with their families and have a feast.
- Thank you so much for coming. - Yes, thank you.
(They're guests and judges.)
The two finalists competing to be named...
Master Lee's favorite student are me and Se Hyeong.
We each made a dish for you to taste.
These are handmade dumplings.
We made them together last night.
- We made the wrappers too. - We made them from scratch.
Mine is called long-legged octopus with deep-fried dumplings.
I wanted to make dumplings that tasted like pork cutlet.
I coated the dumplings with egg and bread crumbs,
then deep-fried them.
(Dumplings, eggs, and bread crumbs...)
(equals deep-fried dumplings.)
(That's innovative.)
- He focused on the texture. - Right.
I looked it up, and it didn't seem like it had been done before.
I figured it'd be nice to try something new.
Also, I thought it'd go well...
with spicy stir-fried long-legged octopus.
That's why I decided to serve them together.
- That's it. - Okay.
I made dumpling stew.
I thought hard about what I should make with the dumplings.
I initially thought I could do something creative.
But after spending an entire day with Master Lee,
I learned that he likes to follow traditional recipes.
He's always faithful to the basics.
Hence, I thought I should make a dish that reflects those values.
That's why we made this dumpling stew.
Knowing that the judges are Master Lee's acquaintances,
I figured all of them must love soju.
That's why I thought I should make the stew spicy.
- Do you drink soju? - I love soju.
(These soju lovers like spicy food.)
You can't see all the components of the stew at the moment,
but one of the special things we did for this stew...
You know what napa cabbage is, right?
We lightly steamed the leaves...
and wrapped the dumplings in them.
They're in the stew now.
- So... - Let me see.
- If you see here... - Dumplings in napa cabbage leaves.
The regular dumplings are over here, and under this,
you'll see the wrapped dumplings. Right here, in napa cabbage leaves.
- You're right. - Yes.
I hope your 2019 is filled with abundance.
Napa cabbage will bring prosperity into your life.
It's so meaningful.
In Chinese, napa cabbage is called "baicai".
I see.
A hundred. And "cai" as in "fortune".
The characters sound the same.
- Seriously? - Yes.
- "Baicai". - "Baicai".
2019 will be a lucky, prosperous year for everyone.
(He's lucky that even the word has a nice meaning.)
- My gosh. - It's wonderful.
- Thank you. - We were lucky.
(Applauding half-heartedly)
Judges, which one do you like better,
just based on how they look?
(Pre-tasting visual evaluation)
- Just based on how they look. - I'd pick this one.
That is more his style.
He's number one when it comes to creating innovative dishes.
- Totally. - He's very creative.
(Creativity)
I've never seen dumplings deep-fried in bread crumbs.
As soon as Poong came in,
I was very happy to see him.
(He understands Se Hyeong's creativity.)
I knew he'd understand me.
I personally like this one better because I love spicy food.
(Chef Wang likes spicy food.)
I knew it.
It looks good. It smells very good as well.
He needs hangover soup. Didn't you drink last night?
- Out of one week... - Well, just a little.
(Forcing himself to laugh)
All right. Shall we taste them now?
I've been really wanting to taste this.
(He tastes Se Hyeong's deep-fried dumpling first.)
They were so good when they were just out of the deep fryer.
Is there a sauce for this? Are we supposed to eat it with a sauce?
(Se Hyeong is worried, but the dumplings are still crispy.)
- It's good. - Yes, it is.
The texture is amazing.
Yes, the texture is great.
- The batter is very good. - He did a great job with it.
It's delicious.
(I'm relieved.)
My, this is...
Try the long-legged octopus.
- He did a great job with it. - Let me try it.
My gosh, this is...
The octopus is still tender because he stir-fried it well.
(Crispy and chewy)
This can be sold at restaurants.
- This is... - It's really tasty.
(Will Se Hyeong be named Master Lee's favorite student?)
I was especially impressed by the dumplings.
When you deep-fry dumplings without batter,
they harden quickly.
But coating them with bread crumbs...
enhanced the texture and kept the dumplings crispy.
I think this technique can be used for other dishes.
The texture of the dumplings is amazing.
- Thank you. - That was on point.
- My gosh. - Poong gets it.
That's good enough for me.
(Se Hyeong is satisfied with the feedback.)
I must say, this batter is...
It's such a brilliant idea.
- Exactly. - It keeps them fluffy...
and crispy. I really enjoyed the dumplings.
Young people would love these.
"Young people would love these,"
- "but I'm too old." - "I'm too old to like it."
(I'm too old to like it.)
He's young.
He's still young.
(Yeon Bok read my mind.)
- The dumplings are... - This is good.
The broth is good.
(He said he was faithful to the basics. How would it taste?)
- It's seasoned very well. - Isn't it?
It's seasoned perfectly.
- I'm a seasoning expert. - But why does this...
taste so refreshing?
This reflects Master Lee's...
Oh, my. This is good.
It's spicy and nice.
Yes, it is.
(I don't want to admit it, but...)
It's good.
- Gosh. - The broth is delicious.
(The broth is Seung Gi's lethal weapon.)
- The broth is... - We're in trouble.
- It'll be good for hangovers. - A hangover cure. That's right.
(Everyone starts digging in.)
Everyone is devouring the dishes instead of just tasting them.
Usually, it's hard to understand when someone describes a dish,
but this is really...
Chef Wang is devouring the stew. Chef Wang is...
- He needs to cure his hangover. - How much did you drink?
I need to eat the whole thing in order to thoroughly evaluate it.
Right.
- All right. - Yes.
I love soups and stews.
I just tasted this stew, and it suits my palate.
(Xihuan)
He thought it was refreshing.
I see, "refreshing".
He said he loves...
soups and stews. That's why...
Especially for breakfast.
- Right. - It's great for breakfast.
- As a hangover soup. - For hangovers, right?
- Your strategy worked. - It totally worked.
On New Year's Day, most people...
eat with their families, you know.
I personally liked the stew better because it's a dish...
that you can enjoy with your entire family.
It'll bring your family closer,
so it warmed my heart.
- I really enjoyed it. - Thank you.
(Will Seung Gi be named Master Lee's favorite student?)
Any flaws? Anything they could improve on?
If you have to name one.
It may be fattening.
That I admit.
You may end up overeating.
- That means it's very good. - I admit it.
I admit those flaws.
I feel bad about saying this, but...
(What's Se Hyeong's dish's flaw?)
I don't love deep-fried dishes like pork cutlet.
(I see.)
Also, I have a seafood allergy.
(I see.)
(His dish had an ample amount of seafood.)
I understand.
We ate the food quickly,
but they worked so hard from the morning to make the dishes.
They did their best.
Actually, I brought a dish too.
- Did you? - Really?
It's nothing special though.
We get to eat foods made by the two most famous Chinese chefs...
in the country.
We eat this on New Year's Day because...
We say, "Spring will bring you good fortune."
The character for "chicken" sounds the same as the one for "fortune".
- So this is for good luck. - That's right.
He cut up the chicken and put the pieces together...
in the shape of a chicken.
What's the dish called again?
- Grilled chicken. - Grilled chicken.
We always eat this...
on the holidays.
(In China, it's an essential holiday dish.)
- My, this is... - It's good.
- This is... - Is it good?
(Forgotten about the competition, they bask in the holiday spirit.)
I prepared a gift as well.
(Zhang Yu'an brought a gift too?)
Where did the fan go?
The fan.
I saw it over here earlier.
There are many Chinese poems, you know.
(There are many Chinese poems.)
(He stands up.)
(He'll even use the fan?)
I hope you enjoy.
(What's he going to do?)
(What is happening now?)
With the sound of fireworks,
another year comes to an end.
A warm spring breeze...
enters the wine jar.
When the sun...
shines down on each and every house,
everyone replaces the old peach tree talisman...
with a new one.
(What is this that I'm feeling?)
(They're utterly captivated by the sense of magnificence.)
Applause.
I didn't know it was over.
(They feel like they've seen a sunrise.)
He has a very nice voice.
(Proud)
People in the past...
often read poems...
when they were happy or on holidays.
I read one...
hoping you'd have a happy new year just like this poem.
(It was his gift wishing everyone a happy new year.)
Now...
(Now, he's left with selecting his favorite student.)
that you've all finished the food,
the four of you should wait at the rooftop.
- Bring this with you upstairs. - Okay.
Stay upstairs.
- Then we... - We beg you for good feedback.
(Master separates them for an objective and honest feedback.)
Now that they've gone upstairs...
It's hard to pick just one.
Let's be frank.
(After an intense discussion...)
- Okay. - Thank you.
Then with a 2 to 1 result...
(Who is the master's favorite student?)
- Master Lee. It's the finals. - Master Lee.
Let me reveal the treasure first.
(He's going to reveal the treasure first.)
Here.
(What's the treasure Master Lee hid?)
Honestly, I don't give it to anyone,
but this is a sign that you're my favorite student.
That's what this means.
If you have this, you're my favorite student.
(The treasure...)
(cannot be given or obtained easily.)
(Standing up)
I knew it.
A Chinese knife.
That's cool.
I've really wanted it.
The knife...
depends on its owner.
It has your name carved in.
Because it has my name,
the owner of this knife...
becomes my favorite student officially.
(A treasure that can only be given to his favorite student)
(He's jealous.)
(That could damage the knife.)
Why do you act like that's yours?
(Why do you act like that's yours?)
(The tension is as sharp as the knife.)
It's going to come to me.
What's important is...
(What matters is its owner.)
Who is going to get this knife?
(What matters is its owner.)
It was very close.
It was a bummer.
(It was only a single vote difference.)
The winner is...
(Who's going to officially become...)
(Master Lee's favorite student?)
Lee Seung Gi!
(Lee Seung Gi)
(Acknowledging)
Thank you.
(It's the result of competing following Master Lee's philosophy.)
I'm his official favorite student, Lee Seung Gi.
This is...
I'm jealous.
- Good job, Se Hyeong. - Not at all.
Hang on.
I couldn't skip Se Hyeong.
Can you get me...
what I got for Se Hyeong?
Because it was so close.
What's that?
It's kaoliang wine,
- and this is also my favorite. - What?
(It's a gift of Master Lee's favorite liquor.)
- What? - It's liquor.
Look at Seung Gi's face.
(His satisfaction level drops significantly.)
Look at Seung Gi's face.
And this too.
It's suddenly the opposite.
This is my favorite.
It's good.
Would you like to switch?
Well...
- Hold on. - He's in trouble.
This isn't okay.
(Master Lee takes care of everyone regardless of the result.)
(They had an abundant day with a lucky master.)
When Master Lee cooked for me,
I could really feel his heart.
When nothing could fill your stomach,
only their hearts can fill the emptiness.
It's the winter land.
(The winter land in snow and ice)
(They wander the land in search of the master.)
(Is that Elsa?)
(Master Elsa?)
(As long as they're with the queen,)
(they feel great, and the weather is great.)
(It's going to be a happy snow festival today.)
(They get hyper...)
(and stimulate the queen.)
(They offend the sleeping queen?)
(Just like the queen who feels offended,)
(the weather freezes.)
(Surprised)
(Let's stop playing and get in.)
(I'm just getting started.)
(Everything is going by the queen's order.)
(Severely cold...)
(hard training is coming.)
(I'm not being a crybaby.)
(The side of the queen they should have never woken up)
(Help me.)
(They could either run away...)
(or counterattack.)
(The Queen with Two Faces)
