TASTEFULLY YOURS
BAEKSU INN
This is why I like you, Director Han.
[laughs]
You like me?
Did you hurt your head on the way here?
[Yeon-joo] What are you doing there?
You clocked off already?
It's so early though.
Why are you stuttering
like I caught you stealing?
Who is she?
[whispering] Why do you care? Keep quiet.
Oh, is she the one
you're trying to prey on this time?
[mutters]
Who is she?
My ex-girlfriend.
[whimsical music playing]
[both] "Ex-girlfriend"?
Yeah.
Shall we continue
what we were talking about?
I hate that you're obsessing over me
and following me around.
How did you find me here?
Keep this up, and my feelings for you
will be gone completely!
What the hell are you saying?
Is this the person who left you
for your older brother?
That's not what happened.
What? His brother?
You need me to remind you
why I don't like you?
You act like you're something
when you have zero talent.
I can't stand that at all.
Actually, no. It's just the fact
that you eat and breathe.
That alone makes me sick!
-Get lost!
-[music stops]
Hmm. Excuse me.
Do you even know
who this guy is and what he does?
[Yeon-joo]
I'll figure that out for myself.
The ex-girlfriend can stay out of it.
[Young-hye] I'm not his ex-girlfriend!
-He preys on and betrays innocent people!
-Stop! That's enough!
-He's known for it!
-Enough! No!
-Damn you.
-"Damn you"?
This is exactly it. Your temper.
Let's hash out
our personal issues in private.
Without other people around.
Follow me.
-What are you doing?
-Just come with me.
Go home and rest.
Good work today, as always.
[whimsical music continues]
Hurry up.
We'll talk over there.
[music ends]
[Young-hye] Happy now?
She's not here.
So who's that country bumpkin?
What does she do?
It's none of your business.
What do you want? Go away already.
There's no way you came all the way here
to con someone like that.
Out with it.
If you don't tell me, I'll ask her myself.
Oh, come on.
She's a chef, okay?
A chef?
[scoffs] Yeah, a chef.
She's much better at cooking
and much more skilled than you.
Okay? Are you done now?
Now leave.
How the heck did she know I was here?
TASTEFULLY YOURS
I'll figure that out for myself.
The ex-girlfriend can stay out of it.
I was just worried.
You were getting rained on.
[gasps]
[humming]
If it bothered her
that my shoulders were getting wet,
she should've said she was worried about
my shoulder getting wet.
"Shoulders." She should've
added a subject to her sentence.
That way I'd get it right away.
I got butterflies over nothing.
Wait, what? Butterflies?
Me? Get butterflies? Please.
[knock on wall]
My bad.
BAEKSU INN
[neighbor] I heard you scream
like crazy last night.
Did you lose your mind at last?
[screams] Oh jeez! What the heck?
Is this real? What's happening?
What do you think I am? I'm a person.
[stammers] I mean, what are you
what are you doing in my house?
This is your house?
You talked about
investing in my restaurant and whatnot.
Your Hansang business card
was a fake, wasn't it?
What? Have you ever even seen
a business card from a large corporation?
You know, back in Seoul,
I'm the kind of person
[Yeon-joo] Just get ready
for the festival.
Darn you.
Damn it.
What's happening?
Oh right.
Her room burned down too.
[hiccups]
Why did he get so freaked out?
My skin got it worse than him.
[whimsical music playing]
I look much better now.
Man, look at these two.
This female crab likes this male crab.
[laughs]
They're all female crabs.
Things were a bit hectic yesterday,
weren't they?
Even if she likes me that
Even if she likes me that much,
how could she come all the way here?
How inappropriate.
Did you see her off?
Why? Why do you ask?
Are you bothered and worried?
Worried?
Are you?
Something must be wrong with your head.
[chuckles]
Not me. [chuckles]
There's a saying that goes,
"Pretty face, poor fate."
So [chuckles]
That saying was basically made for me.
The eyes are rotten.
The eyes are completely rotten.
Are you listening to me?
Since it's a festival,
we should make something everyone likes
and something easy to eat.
Steak?
You think they'd want to
use a knife at a festival?
-[huffs]
-Meat for soup.
LA galbi.
Bulgogi.
[inhales sharply]
There's something called cube steak.
Our company's best-selling lunch box
is the one with cube steak.
You said we should make something
everyone likes.
[Beom-woo] Yeah, meat.
Or chicken?
Everyone likes chicken,
regardless of religion or nationality.
No?
How about pork? Jambon-beurre sounds good.
It doesn't.
[sighs]
You don't like this, you don't like that.
Not this, not that.
Let's sell gimbap then.
Yeah, gimbap.
Gimbap!
[gasps] Gimbap sounds great!
Gim Gimbap? Gim
You like that idea?
You like the painfully common gimbap
that has zero competitiveness?
Okay, fine. Gimbap. Okay.
But what's at the heart of a festival?
Taking photos and romanticizing memories.
Gimbap with sweet shrimp,
sea urchin, tuna
We need to use unique ingredients
to make people say,
"Hey, this is so unique," and take photos,
buy the food, and post it for PR
Wait, 35,000 won for ten sheets?
Put that down.
It's too expensive. We can't get this.
PREMIUM TAEAN GAMTAE
It's expensive.
Welcome. What would you like?
I'd like about 100 sheets
of Neopdo Island dried laver for gimbap.
Neopdo Island dried laver is 35,000 won.
What? This is 35,000 won too?
[grunts]
We're not buying gamtae.
Right.
[vendor] You're just a pretty face.
[inhales sharply] You know,
I'm asking you this just in case.
You're not
going to do something ridiculous
like only put carrots in it, are you?
I'll put in rice and egg too.
It's a festival. Who would buy gimbap
made with just the basic ingredients?
I guess a few people might.
Let's say we sell 100 rolls.
We'll only make two million won, if that.
We need to add something special
to up the unit price
for a better profit margin.
Do you think fancy ingredients like tuna
and sea urchin make everything tasty?
What I'm saying is,
you don't like what just looks fancy.
So let's make the stuffing fancy.
People might buy that once but not twice.
[Beom-woo sighs] You don't know anything.
The percentage of returning customers
isn't important at a festival.
Whatever the job,
you must do the basics well.
That goes for gimbap too.
Got that?
[mutters]
[announcer] Mic test.
One, two, three. One, two, three.
-Put the chairs over here.
-Mic test. One, two, three.
-Yes, that's right.
-One, two, three.
My goodness. Is this it?
Is this the truck we'll be using?
-[sighs]
-Yeah. We're just renting it temporarily.
-[whimsical music playing]
-[truck whirring]
[Choon-seung] Goodness me.
-Go slow.
-[Choon-seung] It's so hectic.
[Myung-sook] Well, it's okay.
It's not like we'll drive around in it.
That's right.
Myung-sook,
vintage is all the rage these days.
Look carefully, okay?
Do you see the rust here?
See how sturdy this
Damn it! It just can't scrub it off!
-Myung-sook.
-Jeez.
Step aside. I'll take care of this.
-Go take a break.
-Don't touch me.
Come on. Let me do it.
You mean this?
What's gotten into you?
Are you about to die or something?
By the way, Myung-sook,
why did you switch to this restaurant?
I did some thinking
and realized my life
had been without change.
Once something was decided,
I just went with the flow.
That's why I worked at your
gukbap restaurant for over 15 years.
But now that I'm in my forties
and it feels like half my life's gone,
I wanted to change something
before I died.
-Change what?
-[chuckles]
-Are you drunk?
-[giggles]
Are you?
I want to be that thing called a chef.
-A chef?
-Be quiet!
-It's a secret!
-Myung-sook! You want to be a chef?
-Why didn't you say so sooner?
-What about a chef? She's here.
-Hello, Chef!
-She says
She's here.
Wait.
Is this what you rented?
Is this truck even allowed
to be on the road?
It is. Do you see the vintage look?
It's fine as long as it's clean
and there's a cooking station.
Exactly. Even cafes these days
have an exposed concrete finish.
You're extremely trendy
when it comes to that.
Choon-seung, the sides
need some scrubbing.
-Okay.
-Focus on that.
-Okay!
-And back here too.
ONGEOUL YOUTH FOOD FESTA
DAY ONE
[upbeat music playing]
Lots of people.
Good vibes.
[sighs] Fresh morning air.
HANSANG
Oh, Hansang.
HANSANG FOOD FIELD
Wait, is this
Hansang
-Are you in charge?
-Yes.
Hansang Food Field. Is that for real?
What kind of festival gets a new sponsor
the day it starts?
I know, right?
But we accomplished the impossible.
We did it!
-[laughs]
-Yes, okay.
You did great.
-But why, of all places, is Hansang
-Why else?
Collaborating with smaller regional cities
aligns perfectly
with our company's vision.
Plus, this is the town of flavor.
Collaborating with Jeonju came naturally.
Right.
"The town of flavor"?
[scoffs] Why is the guy
who hates leaving Seoul doing all this?
-Who? Me?
-Just be honest.
Say you're here to screw me over.
You need to get your egomania treated.
So what?
How will Hansang sponsor this festival?
Why not increase the prize money
for the food truck contest?
[scoffs] All you talk about is money.
Then again, you're a money-hungry bastard.
[inhales deeply, exhales]
How much do you want?
[exclaims]
I just realized
how pathetic that line sounds.
So this is how Mo Yeon-joo must've felt.
What are you talking about?
Did you hear that? The rich company
is dying to spend its money. [chuckles]
First place can have a measly
ten million won.
-Ten
-What? Ten million won?
If you increase the prize money,
the competition would be worth the watch.
We have a team participating as well.
If you want to win the prize money,
you'd better try hard.
Wait.
You? La Lecel is participating?
[organizer laughs]
Ten million won.
[organizer] Don't you worry. [laughs]
JUNGJAE
HEALTHY JUNGJAE CARROT GIMBAP
FULL OF ORGANIC CARROTS
[Myung-sook] That should do.
[Choon-seung grunts]
Mmm. Finally, it looks pretty decent.
I thought you were into vintage
and exposed concrete.
Man, it looks so cool.
Our truck is the coolest one here!
-[Choon-seung] It is.
-Hooray!
Come on.
Let's do a group cheer or something.
-Yeah, let's do that.
-One, two, three!
-[all] Let's go!
-[Choon-seung whoops]
[Young-hye] Let's move faster.
NEXT KOREAN CUISINE AMBASSADOR
CHEF JANG YOUNG-HYE'S SPECIAL
[Choon-seung] What's all that?
-[Young-hye] There's one more of mine.
-Right.
[Choon-seung] "Korean cuisine ambassador
Jang Young-hye"?
So she cooks.
[camera shutter clicks]
[Myung-sook] Do you know her?
I don't know her well.
But he does.
Hmm.
NEXT KOREAN CUISINE AMBASSADOR
CHEF JANG YOUNG-HYE
Sorry.
Hey.
I missed you like crazy.
[huffs]
I get what Han Sun-woo's doing.
But what are you
Chef Jang Young-hye.
Why are you doing this?
What do you want?
-I want to confirm.
-Confirm what?
What you said the other day.
What I said?
Yeah, a chef.
She's much better at cooking
and much more skilled than you.
Okay?
You dare hurt my pride?
You said she was a better cook
than me.
-We'll put the seaweed roll right here.
-[Myung-sook] Why won't this come off?
[Beom-woo scoffs]
Wait, so you brought these people
and equipment all the way from Seoul
just to confirm something
as silly as that?
What's this? A sous vide machine?
Do you really think that suits this place?
It's all way too much.
Why have you become so pathetic?
What? Pathetic?
[Yu-jin] Where do you want this?
-[Yu-jin exclaims]
-Hey. What are you doing here?
[laughs]
Are you doing well, sir?
Forget how I'm doing. Why are you here?
A salaried worker has no say.
I must obey the one who pays me.
I'm the one who pays
I pay you.
To be precise, Chairman Han pays me.
-Chairman Han? Why you
-Why are you doing this to me?
This is workplace harassment.
You're harassing my whole life right now,
you disloyal little
guy.
You care a lot about loyalty, huh?
[inaudible]
Whatever.
What, you scared?
If you are, give up and drop out.
"Scared"?
[stutters] Do I look scared to you?
[sighs]
[soft music playing]
-Is it hot enough?
-Yes, Chef.
[assistant] It's ready.
Try this.
[Choon-seung] Hey, what about me?
-[Myung-sook] Mmm.
-[gasps]
-Is it good?
-[Myung-sook] Yeah.
-[Yeon-joo] Is it good?
-Yeah! [laughs]
It's good.
It's a matter of time before we win.
[announcer] We will now begin
the Ongeoul Youth Food Festa Contest.
Delicious carrot gimbap is in town.
Hello, welcome. Go on your way.
Come this way.
[Myung-sook]
People are starting to flock in.
-[Choon-seung] Come on!
-Everywhere but our truck.
Where the heck did Beom-woo go?
He must be helping his ex-girlfriend.
Ex-girlfriend?
What?
That fancy truck belongs
to Beom-woo's ex-girlfriend?
-What?
-[Young-hye's assistant] Two duck confit.
[Young-hye] Two duck confit.
[Young-hye's assistants] Yes, Chef.
-They have gimbap here.
-Welcome!
-Welcome!
-[Choon-seung] Would you like gimbap?
We came all the way here
and you want gimbap?
-There are lots of other good food.
-Gimbap is a steady seller.
Buy a couple to taste it.
-Everyone who's tried it loved it.
-That's right.
I don't like carrots.
-[parent 1] You don't?
-You don't? Want to go eat meat?
-[child] Yeah.
-[parent 2] Let's go.
I'm sorry. My kid doesn't like carrots.
So what, you're just never
going to feed it to him?
-All right, all right. Calm down.
-My goodness.
Why do we have no customers at all?
Excuse me! Coming through.
Hey, take these.
Catch them. Don't let them fall.
[Myung-sook] What's all that?
[Beom-woo huffs]
GAMTAE, NEOPDO ISLAND DRIED LAVER
[Choon-seung] Gamtae?
Beef?
[gasps] How did you pay for all this?
[sighs] Overdraft.
I'll recoup it
when we get the prize money.
You overdrafted your bank account?
You doofus!
They'll hold a taste vote
to decide the winner.
Didn't I tell you
we should stick to the basics?
Hansang became the sponsor
and doubled the prize money.
-What? It doubled?
-Doubled?
All right.
Shouldn't we put more thought
into our menu selection if we want to win?
[Choon-seung]
What? "Jambon gamtae gimbap"?
You went to more trouble than necessary
just to win the contest?
-Ten million won.
-[exclaims]
The prize money
is a whopping ten million won.
I think it was worth the trouble
if it was for the ten million won.
-It was completely, absolutely worth it!
-Exactly.
Now look over there.
Do you see that fancy truck
that's over the top?
Do you see the people lined up or not?
I see them.
It's your ex-girlfriend's truck.
You told them about that already?
She's not my ex.
She's not my ex-girlfriend, okay?
-[Choon-seung] Sure, sure.
-Enough. Forget about all that.
They're selling duck confit lunch boxes
with five garnishes.
Duck con Garn What did you say?
Do you think confit suits this place?
No, right?
It doesn't suit this place.
So why are they selling it?
They need to sell something like that
so people will line up out of curiosity.
I think he's got a point.
I think we should go ahead
and switch our menu.
-What do I do? Set out the beef?
-That's right, Myung-sook.
-Go ahead. Set it out.
-Right on it!
-So they're easy to open.
-[Myung-sook] Got it.
-Get to it.
-[Choon-seung] Here, take this.
-Take this too.
-Now I'm here for some gimbap.
-[sighs]
-[exclaims]
You must be influencers.
-One beef gimbap, please.
-Yes, of course.
-He's the owner.
-That's me.
Say hi to my subscribers.
-Hi, guys.
-[laughs]
Just a moment.
Do you see the empty table over there?
You can sit there and wait.
-Wait just a little bit.
-I'm getting excited.
Did you see that?
This is what people want.
You get what I'm saying now?
Ten million won is enough
to cover our interior cost and debt.
Forget it all. Ten million will cover it.
-Where's the gamtae from?
-It's from Taean, of course.
The ham is from Mount Jiri
and the beef is from Mawon Farm.
Come on, I'm Han Beom-woo.
I'll let you off because I don't want to
waste the ingredients.
Please wait.
[influencer] Okay.
Thanks.
[phone buzzes]
[Yu-jin] Why are you so clueless?
I need to at least
work as a double agent, don't I?
MANAGER LEE YU-JIN
Do I believe this punk or not?
Cut it diagonally.
-Diagonally? I'll cut two.
-Yeah.
You wrapped it with the beef
instead of putting it inside?
-I'll put the sauce on top.
-Go ahead.
This is mala sauce.
And this is peri sauce.
Here.
Can we taste it?
Here I go.
[exclaiming]
Is it okay?
[Yeon-joo] How is it?
This will sell. I'm sure of it.
It will!
Okay, everyone. Jungjae's open!
-Open!
-Open!
-[Myung-sook] We're open!
-[Choon-seung] Come on over!
Come and have some beef!
-Is it done?
-It's done!
[Choon-seung] Come on!
We have beef-rolled gimbap!
Come and have some!
All right, my Tasties.
Do you see this?
Do you?
POOR GOURME
The beef is wrapped gently
around the gimbap.
It's such a charming dish.
-Jambon gamtae.
-Free samples.
-Two jambon gamtae!
-Two gamtae.
[Beom-woo] So what do you think?
Isn't it good?
[uplifting music playing]
[Yu-jin] The main menu of our two
Diamant-star Chef Young-hye's food truck
-is the duck confit set. [chuckles]
-Whoa!
The duck was aged in extra virgin oil
and duck fat at a low temperature
for around six hours,
making it very tender.
Please form a line and move slowly.
We're taking orders.
You can move forward.
Please go
to the back of that line, please.
Please step forward.
Please wait. The food will be ready soon.
-Make it crispier.
-Yes, Chef.
-How is it? Is it good?
-Yeah, it's good.
-It's so tender. Try it.
-Is it?
It's so good.
[sighs]
It takes someone special
to get two Diamant stars.
Get over here before the confit sells out.
[exclaims] It's delicious.
Isn't this great?
Enjoy the food.
[Beom-woo] One beef, one jambon!
Chef Jang, say hi to my subscribers!
[people cheering]
ONGEOUL YOUTH FOOD FESTA
TASTE VOTING
[shouting] Who ordered the beef rolls?
[Beom-woo] Two beef rolls,
one jambon gamtae.
Two beef rolls, one jambon gamtae!
-We can't.
-What?
We can only serve two more gamtae gimbap.
What? Why can't you serve more?
Why do you think?
We're out of ingredients.
I'm so sorry.
-We're out of ingredients? For real?
-[Myung-sook] We're out of ingredients.
I'm sorry. Come back tomorrow.
-Thanks. Come back tomorrow.
-[Beom-woo] They're gone!
We're out of ingredients.
What she's making is it.
-We sold out? We did?
-We sold out!
-Myung-sook!
-We sold out!
[Beom-woo] Good job! Well done!
We sold out!
-Yes!
-Come over here!
[both yelling]
-[Beom-woo] Well done.
-We sold out.
Chef, we're so behind on orders.
When will ours be ready?
I'm really sorry. Please wait a bit.
I'm sorry. Please wait.
-[customer 1] Let's just go.
-[customer 2] Let's eat something else.
[Young-hye] How much longer will it take?
About ten minutes.
-Let's speed things up.
-[assistants] Yes, Chef.
What are they doing?
I don't know. Did they drop out already?
CLOSING EARLY
-Are you serious?
-Well, gimbap is made and eaten quickly.
It's much less work too.
Duck confit is a bit much for a festival,
but it is high-class.
Has he really lost his mind?
[Beom-woo] Watch your head.
One, two, three.
Goodness, I'm aching all over.
Running a food truck is tougher
than working in a kitchen.
It's a smaller kitchen, and it takes time
to get used to the new setting.
But we're the only truck out here
that closed early.
Yeah!
That's right.
And who should you thank for that?
Me, of course.
I prepped and organized
all the ingredients in that tiny space.
I bet I'm the fastest worker
in the neighborhood.
No, that's nonsense.
You saw me, right?
I was running all over the place.
Excuse me. Who came up
with the gimbap idea? I did.
-Even so, the person prepping
-I brought all the ingredients
Hey, at the end of the day,
would the gimbap have sold
if it didn't taste good?
She's harder to put up with
than I thought.
-I know, right?
-What?
[chuckles] No, I'm just kidding.
If we do well tomorrow
and win the ten million won,
will you give me a raise?
Forget your pay.
Let's get together for a staff dinner!
-How's that?
-Goodness gracious.
We have to repair the kitchen first.
Yeah, that's right.
We'll redo the interior
and pay off the debt first.
-Right? Did I say the right thing?
-Yeah.
[Beom-woo clears throat]
Put your hands here.
Hands downward on three and say "Jungjae."
One, two, three.
[all] Jungjae!
-Let's go.
-Let's go.
-Let's go home!
-Yes, yes!
Choon-seung, put these away.
-Take them around back and stack them up.
-Enjoy your food.
-Stack them up nicely.
-Have gimbap tomorrow. They're good.
Yes, yes!
[Sun-woo] Good work.
The contest ends tomorrow, so I promise
[Sun-woo] You're more shameless
than I thought, Chef Jang.
[Young-hye] "Shameless"?
I didn't ask you to take part.
You insisted. It was your idea.
You can't come back
with this kind of result.
That's why I said I'll win tomorrow.
[scoffs]
[clicks tongue]
You'll have a guest to help you tomorrow.
A guest?
You're not yet capable of being
a Korean cuisine ambassador.
[Young-hye] You're a jerk.
-[door opens, closes]
-[scoffs]
What should we sell tomorrow?
What's this?
A lighter?
Why is this in the kitchen?
Oh.
You came here first thing in the morning?
How forward of you.
"Forward"?
Never mind.
What's up?
You want to head to work together?
What's this?
Did I or did I not say I'd behead you
if you smoked near the restaurant?
Me? I never smoked near the restaurant.
Then what was this doing in the kitchen?
It's yours.
Mm-mmm. It's not mine.
It was in the kitchen?
-It's really not yours?
-It's not.
I don't recognize this.
Isn't it Choon-seung's?
You'll lose your head
if I catch you smoking.
Excuse me. It wasn't me, okay?
[Yeon-joo] Hurry up already.
[Beom-woo] What does this say? Para
A 02 regional code?
ONGOEUL YOUTH FOOD FESTA
DAY TWO
[crowd cheering]
Ongoeul Youth Food Festa's sponsor Hansang
has invited a singer to perform for us.
He's here.
-It's the trot special forces, Park Koon!
-Hello, everyone.
[audience cheering]
I'm trot singer Park Koon,
ex-special forces, made of steel.
-It's a pleasure to meet you.
-[announcer] A round of applause!

["Do Not U Turn" playing on speakers]
Oh!
Is that the real trot singer Park Koon?
I want his autograph on a photo card.
Pull yourselves together.
He's an enemy.
Because I love you ♪
Come to me, don't look back ♪
He sings pretty well.
His voice is on a whole new level.
Celebrities are surely different.
TRY CHEF JANG'S JAMBON-BEURRE BAO BUN
AND GET PARK KOON'S AUTOGRAPH!
[Beom-woo] What's with the random
fan signing event? "Jambon-beurre"?
[scoffs]
Because I love you ♪
Love marches ahead ♪
A guest, huh?
[Beom-woo] Hey, hey.
What's all that?
Park Koon? You hired him?
Are you kidding me?
Do you think I hired him?
Do you really think I hired him?
[groans] Han Sun-woo, that punk.
What about your menu? Are you serious?
You copied us? [scoffs]
Where's your pride?
I didn't copy you.
Don't you know jambon-beurre
is popular these days?
It's nothing like your simple,
ugly gimbap.
Simple and ugly?
Just so you know,
I sold this at Motto last spring.
I'm the one who bought you that recipe.
I'm the one who made it and sold it.
Is it ethical for you to start selling
the exact same thing we did
right across from us?
No, it isn't!
So did you buy those recipes
because you're so ethical?
-Jang Young-hye!
-[shouts] What?
Food has to be visually pleasing to
Your food is bound to be ruined
if you care too much about how it looks.
-[Beom-woo] Why did you come over?
-Quit slacking off.
-I was about to head back.
-I heard.
So you're a chef too?
I didn't know
because you didn't look the part.
Do you cook with looks?
Did you even learn how to cook?
All sorts of nobodies
call themselves chefs these days.
Jang Young-hye.
We'll let our cooking do the talking
and determine who the real nobody is.
The food's ready.
Live your life properly.
Me? That came out of nowhere.
Chef Jang.
You should live properly too.
You get yourself straightened out!
Thank you, everyone.
I'll now head over
to Chef Jang Young-hye's food truck
for the meet-and-greet.
-Let's all go together!
-[audience cheering]
[fans clamoring]
-[sighs]
-[Koon] Hi. What's your name?
It looks like it'll be a little tough
for us today.
Just a little? We got stomped on.
[softly] Shut your mouth.
[clears throat]
How about we switch up the menu
or something?
Why should we switch? We're the original.
Our Chef Mo's gimbap tastes way better.
Right?
He said "our."
When did you two become an item?
-Get to work if you have time for this.
-All right.
Wait, hang on.
How about we sell gimbap
with something on the side?
Wait here.
Nonalcoholic moju.
[groans]
I made this traditional
fermented liquor myself
at the gukbap restaurant.
I threw in all kinds of
traditional medicinal herbs
and boiled it for hours
to make Choon-seung's moju.
You and your damn alcohol.
Put that away right now.
What's wrong with you? This isn't alcohol.
It's a nonalcoholic drink.
-Nonalcoholic, my ass. Put it away.
-Oh, come on.
Give it a taste. Just one sip.
Just try a glass.
I'm telling you, it's good.
Just don't ask for more.
Here.
-I don't want it!
-Come on!
So? How is it?
I thought you were a bum.
-What?
-I did too, but I guess not.
[Choon-seung] What? What does that mean?
Why on earth does this taste good?
-[Choon-seung chuckles]
-It has a charm.
It does? [chuckles]
-It's not bad, is it?
-Mmm.
Wait here.
[groans] Move! [grunts]
[grunts]
-[grunts]
-[all gasp]
Let's hand this out for free.
Do you think this is enough
to beat Park Koon?
[crowd cheering]
[Myung-sook] They're all going to that
food truck after getting an autograph.
Look over there.
Wait. I like the idea.
We can give this out for free.
But what it lacks is a name.
[influencer] Do you sell regular gimbap?
I really enjoyed
your beef gimbap yesterday,
but I'm a little sick of it.
Everyone here sells weird gimbap.
I'll pay you the same price.
Can you make me some regular gimbap?
Yes, of course. Why not?
Wait right here.
I'll turn on my live stream
and come right back.
You're going to live stream it?
Let's go.
-Listen. I made this moju myself.
-What is it?
-[Myung-sook] The carrots.
-[Choon-seung] This is traditional moju.
-You see
-Regular gimbap.
[Choon-seung] I'm probably
one of the first among those my age
to have made this.
Regular gimbap.

JUNGJAE SE
OG CARROT GIMBAP WITH SWEET MOJU
HOMEMADE NONALCOHOLIC MOJU
MADE WITH ALL KINDS OF MEDICINAL HERBS
[music continues]
This is what I'm talking about.
Gimbap should be simple.
Hey, I thought you said
you don't like carrot gimbap.
Taste it for yourself.
Try it before you say anything.
[chuckles]
Mmm.
What the heck?
What did they do to the carrots?
The others keep adding stuff
to their gimbap
because they lack confidence.
Hey, it's good.
-[chuckling]
-Simple is the best.
This is moju I made myself.
-It's moju?
-It's insanely good.
It's nonalcoholic.
Would you like some? Here you go.
Please help spread the word.
Number 221.
Number 221!
Choon-seung!
[sighs]
[music fades]
-That's us. [chuckles]
-[chuckles]
-Enjoy the food. [chuckles]
-Thank you.
This tastes just like old-school gimbap.
It's like the one I had on sports day
in elementary school
with sweet and spicy fried chicken.
[chuckles]
They must sell gimbap for a living.
The gamtae one was good and so is this.
It's no ordinary gimbap.
Oh, we're not a gimbap restaurant.
We have a variety of dishes.
-Nearby? Mmm!
-[Yeon-joo] Yes.
-Here's our business card.
-[customer] A business card?
Please help spread the word about us.
There's a sticker board over there.
Please put one under our name.
Here's the poster. I made it.
-Oh, of course.
-[chuckles]
-Thank you.
-[customer] Let's go to the sticker board.
-Spread the word.
-[Yeon-joo] Come again!
Congratulations, you two.
[customer] Congratulations!
We'll take two rolls of gimbap
to celebrate.
What are we celebrating?
You two are expecting a baby.
-Right?
-[customer] How nice.
We heard you took part
to earn money for baby formula.
That's admirable.
What? A baby?
The two of us?
-Yes.
-[customer] Yes, your baby.
Said who?
-Someone over there.
-From over there.
[Choon-seung] Let's help
the hardworking newlyweds!
For the newlyweds.
Love is in the air.
But they can't buy formula.
Oh dear! They can't do
without money for formula.
Even their nickname
for the baby is "Gimbap."
Have those two
completely lost their minds?
Is it not true?
[customer] No?
-It's true. [laughs]
-Right?
[Beom-woo] It is.
We need money for formula. [laughs]
[softly] Hey, you
-Two rolls of gimbap.
-Okay. Please wait here.
All right.
[Choon-seung] Come on over. Where to?
To the gimbap truck!
-One gimbap and two cups of moju.
-Sure.
-One gimbap, two moju.
-Thank you.
-Congratulations.
-Congratulations.
-Three rolls of gimbap, please.
-Sure thing.
[influencer] I heard the baby's
nickname is "Gimbap."
[friend] Congratulations.
Gimbap's mommy,
three more rolls of gimbap.
[customer chuckling] "Mommy Gimbap."
Two rolls of gimbap?
Here you go.

You're way behind on orders right now.
[Young-hye] Shut your mouth
and take these out.
Yes, Chef. The bao buns are coming!
Here. Two for you.
Two for you.
[both chuckle]
Just a moment, please.
Uh
-Two rolls of carrot gimbap.

TASTE VOTING
LA LECEL, JUNGJAE
On!
[audience] Goeul!
Food!
[audience] Truck!
Hello, I'm your host for the evening.
I'm a comedian, and my name is Jae-pil,
which means "good vibes"!
[audience applauds]
[clears throat]
[Jae-pil] Hosted by the Ongoeul
Food Truck Festival Committee
-and sponsored by Hansang.
-"Good luck"?
[Jae-pil] The 43rd Ongoeul
Food Truck Contest.
The public tasted and voted
over the past two days,
and the winning team will be selected
based on those votes.
I wonder who the winner is.
The winning team gets a plaque
and prize money.
As you know,
the prize money for first place
is a whopping ten million won!
-[squeals]
-[audience cheering]
ONGOEUL FOOD TRUCK CONTES
WINNER 10,000,000 WON
The runner-up gets four million won.
The awards will be presented
by Managing Director Han Sun-woo
from Hansang's Strategic Planning Team.
[audience cheering]
He's tall and handsome.
[cheering fades]
The first place winner is
[drumroll playing]
It's right here in my hand.
[Choon-seung]
They're going to announce it.
-It's us.
-[Jae-pil] It was a really close vote.
[shushes]
[Jae-pil] The first place winner is
[drumroll intensifies]
[singsongy] Can you guess who?
[audience laughs]
Oh, come on. [chuckles]
-[singsongy] Don't take it too far.
-Stop teasing us!
The winning team
got 530 votes on day one
and 890 votes on day two.
With a total of 1,420 votes,
for selling jambon-beurre bao buns
and duck confit,
Chef Jang Young-hye's food truck has won!
-[triumphant music plays on speakers]
-Yes!
[Jae-pil] Congratulations!
Please come forward!
-[Choon-seung] Hold on a second.
-[Myung-sook] It's not us?
-Is he saying we didn't win?
-[Jae-pil] Congratulations!
[singsongy] We won! We
[fans chanting] La Lecel! La Lecel!
[shouts] How did they beat us
with the ridiculous mess they served?
[Jae-pil] People are chanting "La Lecel."
Please give them a warm round of applause!
[audience cheering]
[Jae-pil] They're receiving
the prize money.
Please pose for a photo.
[photographer] Are you ready?
-One, two, three.
-[shutter clicks]
-[Jae-pil] Congratulations!
-[audience cheers]
[Jae-pil] The runner-up sold
regular gimbap and nonalcoholic moju.
It's Jungjae's food truck.
-What the heck?
-[Jae-pil] Congratulations to both teams.
[audience cheering]
[cheering fades]
Anyone would know
your gimbap tasted much better.
That's what all the customers said,
that they couldn't compare.
-Damn it!
-What?
This makes no sense!
Should I go
and turn everything upside down?
Leave it.
What can we do if that's the result?
Hey.
Still, thanks to you three, we earned
enough money to repair the kitchen.
[scoffs]
Good job, everyone.
Thanks a lot.
Next time,
I'll try and make something even tastier.
Let's work together again, okay?
[sobbing] Screw this!
Goodness me.
-Why are you crying again?
-[sobbing continues]
Oh, come on. You cry over everything.
Stop crying.
There's definitely something fishy
going on behind the scenes.
You're taking things a bit too far.
I counted the votes
a minute before they closed.
We had way more stickers than they did.
[Myung-sook] You really think they would
rig the votes in this day and age?
You should have a drink.
[Choon-seung]
I'll drink until I drop tonight.
This is nonalcoholic.
Someone capable of rigging the votes
did present the award.
[mutters]
Hey, Han Sun-woo!
[door locks]
[sighs]
[slaps window]
[scoffs]
You pulled this crap
over a measly ten million won?
[inhales deeply]
If you're doing this
because you can't accept the result
So this is how petty
someone can become, huh?
The results were based
purely on the number of votes,
and we just happened to win.
Hiring Park Koon was cheating.
Festivals are about drawing attention,
not gaining repeat customers.
Isn't that Marketing 101?
You should know that.
I do know that.
[sighs] But something smells fishy.
Don't believe it if you don't want to.
I thought you had something more
going on here, but again, you don't.
You set the fire, didn't you?
Fire?
What fire?
[chuckles] You've gotten better at acting.
You set the fire at our restaurant,
didn't you?
[chuckling] "Our restaurant"?
I can't believe I heard you say "our."
I don't know what you're on about.
I'll say this again.
You lost the contest.
[slowly] Once again, you lost,
Han Beom-woo.
Good work today. You can head home.
[both] Yes, Chef.
[Young-hye] How about now?
Don't you want to come back to me?
[sighs deeply]
What is with today?
Both of you are getting on my nerves.
If you're packed up,
take your ten million won and go.
Or swing that cape and fly away.
[Yeon-joo] Here I go.
-Yeah! [squealing]
-[children cheer]
I'm better than that country bumpkin.
[child] You got this!
[Young-hye] Are you listening to me?
Hello?
Yeah, yeah, I'm listening.
How exactly are you better than her?
In what way?
Do I have to spell that out myself?
That country bumpkin
Stop calling her that.
Mind your words.
That country bumpkin
has finally made you lose your mind.
Do you like her or something?
[laughs]
[chuckling] Me? Like her?
Who else would I be talking about?
It's obvious that you like her.
Do you think I'm crazy?
[contemplative music playing]
G-Go back to what you were doing.
Go back to Seoul already.
[sighs deeply]
Where did Chef Mo and Beom-woo go?
The fireworks will begin soon.
I bet they're somewhere fighting again.
I don't need to see to know.
I don't need to hear to know.
I bet they were sworn enemies
in their past lives.
Don't enemies from a past life
end up getting married in the present?
[both chuckle]
-What sauce is this?
-Teriyaki.
Yes, yes!
-[Jae-pil] You're in fourth place!
-[both cheering]
[Young-hye] All gimbap tastes the same.
It's good.
-Yes!
-[children sigh]
[child] I can't believe it went over.
Wait right here.
-Hey!
-[grunts]
-[child] I lost all my ddakji.
-What are you doing here?
-[child] She won them all.
-I was waiting for you.
For me? Why?
Hey! Let's play again!
-Come on, guys.
-[Beom-woo] You little punks.
-Run.
-W-What for?
-[child 1] Wait! Let's play another round!
-[child 2] Where are you going?
[R & B music playing]
[music continues]
-[panting]
-[Beom-woo] We came far enough.
[panting] We're good.
They stopped chasing us. [chuckles]
-[huffs]
-[stammers]
You grabbed my hand first.
That was then. This is now.
[sighs] I really don't get you.
No, there's no way.
Are you sulking?
It's not like you to sulk.
-[sighs]
-Come on. Don't be like that.
Why are you in such a good mood?
-We didn't even win first place.
-I won them all.
[softly] What did you win?
[giggles]
From now on,
I'm the ddakji queen of this area.
[giggles]
I don't believe this.
This is so annoying! [scoffs]
Are you jealous?
[sighing] Fine, all right.
Pick one and I'll give it to you.
Which one do you want?
Forget it.
Why are you so irritated?
Why wouldn't I be?
Just accept it.
We lost.
-Do you think that's what this is about?
-Then what is it about?
Forget it.
Tell me. What is it about?
I said forget it!
Tell me!
Apparently, it looks like I have a crush.
Apparently, that's what it looks like!
Have a crush on what?
[sighs]
On you.
I like you.
Then
you can have all of them.
[gasps]
[slow pop music playing]
[fireworks whistle]
[music continues]
TASTEFULLY YOURS
[Myung-sook] Jungjae, the bridge of love.
[Yeon-joo] Listen up, everyone.
What happened yesterday was a mistake.
I want to get involved!
I want to get madly involved with you!
[Yeon-joo]
Even if you want to get madly involved,
some things just can't happen.
What's this?
What kind of life did you live?
[Sun-woo] Let me take you out on a date.
[Yeon-joo] I'll be there by 9:00 p.m.
See you there.
How have you been?
