[CLOSE&OPEN] Ep.08 Mystery and I’m sorry🍳 | CLOSE YOUR EYES (Announcement of the World)

[CLOSE&OPEN] Ep.08 지옥에서 온 요리사 김성민🍳 | CLOSE YOUR EYES (클로즈 유어 아이즈)

[A late evening to wrap up a busy day] [A place where those weary from everyday life come together] Is this the right place? [The familiar guests who came after hearing the rumors]
– I heard Sungmin opened a restaurant.
– I think it’s somewhere around here. [Already sounds dissatisfied]
Why would he open it in an alley like this? I don’t get it. – No, not there.
– But I think it’s in this alley. So is it here? [The somewhat unfamiliar vibe of the street]
– This is a little scary.
– Is it here? The restaurant doesn’t even have a signboard. – Oh?
– I think this is it, isn’t it? [Finally discovered a small restaurant in the alley]
– Right.
– This is it. – I’m hungry.
– Are you here? Hey Sungmin, we’re here! – Open the door!
– Oh? It’s open. [A loud reaction the moment they see him]
– Hey!
– It’s Sungmin. – Hey!
– Sungmin. [Welcoming the members with a full-on expert concept] You guys came so early. We heard you opened a restaurant, so we came. [Bright friendship]
– But why?
– For us to taste it. [Visiting in person to give restaurant advice]
We thought we’d tell you whether you should close the restaurant or not. Oh, yes. That’s why I called you guys. If you look outside, there’s no signboard. [Offers free signboard service]
– So we can make you one?
– No, I mean… [Didn’t say it was for promotion]
Like, “Don’t come.” – A restaurant called “Don’t come.”
– Not like that… Please try my cooking this time [Fact check time for Sungmin’s birthplace]
to see if I came from hell or from heaven. [Ending spoiler]
– You’re from hell.
– You’re from hell. That’s already been proven plenty of times. [Sungmin wanting to make up for the suspicion of being from hell]
– I’m here right now to clear that up.
– To make up for it? Still, whoever came up with that nickname, it was a good one. [The bitter memory of the hell stigma]
Was it Yeojun? It’s Sungmin’s spaghetti from hell. But, hey explain it. Why is mine spaghetti from hell? [The taste changed because he didn’t season with salt]
I didn’t do anything, I just made it as is. Have you tried Sungmin’s spaghetti from hell? What does it taste like? The taste of hell. Hey, it’s not that bad. It’s just [(Self-defense)]
undersalted. [Finally curious about the restaurant]
So what kind of restaurant is this? This? [The menu will be figured out gradually]
– I’m still deciding.
– Not done yet? [Absurd]
But you already opened the restaurant. [Confidently asking for support]
I’m deciding, you can decide for me. – Is this how you speak to customers?
– So rude. – Attention!
– I don’t think he understands customer service. [Smoothed over with aegyo] [(Kind version)]
You can decide it yourselves. There’s no menu here? [Today, it’s customized to the guests’ tastes]
You can just write down what you want to eat here. [Finally a positive reaction]
– This is a good restaurant.
– A cool place that makes everything you want? [A rookie owner who looks pretty confident]
– Of course, I can do everything.
– Cheese balls. One thing for sure is [You must never eat Sungmin’s spaghetti]
you must never order spaghetti, because it’s a start from hell. Fried rice, too? [(Firm)]
Fried rice, too. [The growing list of banned dishes]
– Bibim ramyeon, too.
– Don’t order bibim ramyeon. [Forced fasting house]
You won’t eat anything at all, then. I got an idea. When he made fried rice with Jinxiang last time he said it was all because of Jinxiang. [A second chance for Sungmin, who felt wronged]
– Maybe we could order something like omurice now.
– Good, omurice. [While you’re at it, try making the omelet beautifully]
– Make the omelet nicely cooked, like this.
– I also want that one, just like that. [(Troubled)]
Ah… [A word of advice wishing for Sungmin’s success]
– You need that kind of performance to success.
– That’s right. [Menu selection regardless of the owner’s will]
– Should I write omurice here?
– Let’s go with omurice. Kenshin, don’t you want anything? Among Korean food I want to eat seaweed soup. [Kenshin’s request is his favorite Korean food, seaweed soup]
– My favorite Korean food is seaweed soup.
– Favorite. – It’s easy.
– Seaweed soup is easy. [Second menu decided]
– Okay, let’s go with seaweed soup.
– Add seaweed soup. [Adding a spoonful of preference]
Please put beef in it. Yes, I’ll add it for you. And over there, there’s something like green onion. Can you also make pajeon? Since it’s raining outside? Yes. [But it was actually garlic chives in disguise]
Everyone, this isn’t green onion, it’s garlic chives. Garlic chives. [Coolly modifying the menu]
– Let’s go with buchujeon.
– Buchujeon. But honestly, I just want to say one thing. It’s not raining, but since I said “It’s raining,” Seungho was like [Not perfect, but a kind younger brother]
“Oh, yes.” – Such a kindhearted little brother.
– I know. [Smack] [Hygiene controversy at Sungmin’s restaurant]
There are bugs flying around. [In danger of low star ratings from the start]
Your rating has dropped by one star. – They are my assistant.
– I killed one a while ago, though. [Sungmin’s first assistant who left before even starting his mission] So, can you make these three dishes? [Adding one more on top]
There’s also a special menu at the end. [Excited]
– A special menu?
– Specially for you guys. [(Smug)]
That’s right, it’s written here. [Today’s course menu / Chef in charge – Kim Sungmin] [Omurice / Beef seaweed soup / Buchujeon with its crispy center as the highlight / The chef’s special dish is also prepared] So then, what should I do first? [Must have heard wrong?]
– What?
– What? How can the owner say something like that? So what are you going to make first? [First challenge, starting with omurice]
– I’ll make it in order.
– Omurice. The first one on the list. [Somewhat looking forward to Chef Sungmin’s skills]
I’m actually looking forward to it. – Really?
– I’m looking forward to it. Hearing that kind of thing makes me a little excited. So today if we choose heaven, then are you planning to invite CLOSERs too? [If he receives a necklace of acceptance from the members, he’ll consider it]
That depends. Try it first before telling them. [Vegetables suspiciously chopped into halves]
– That’s not how you stir-fry, right?
– Of course not. [Uneasy]
But why do you keep cutting them in half and then use other ones? [Members suddenly feeling fear, scolding Sungmin]
If you do it like that, there won’t be space left. I have to make seven servings, so I have no choice. [The chef’s hands that you can’t take your eyes off for even a moment]
Chef, please be careful with your hands. You’re making me nervous. [(Shaking)]
Cat hands. I am nervous. We’re nervous too. [Please, just chop the vegetables you already have]
If you keep taking out vegetables, there won’t be any space on the cutting board anymore. [Assistants dropping out one by one in the middle of a tough time]
I just killed one more assistant just now, is that okay? [Ends up carrying everything alone]
Now you really have to do it by yourself. [Hope you’ll be a great chef in your next life]
Are you okay, guys? [***bway style order]
Can you put in a lot of onions? It’s for fried rice, but wait, he’s dicing it. [Endless grumbling]
I would prefer it finely minced. [(Hmm)]
It’s fine. I like the texture when I bite into it. Doesn’t he look awkward holding that knife? [Can you be quiet?]
You guys are way too noisy. [Flinch] [At Sungmin’s restaurant, performance pleases the eyes too]
– It’s a performance, everyone.
– Thank you. Wait, can I just take one of these onions? You’re going to eat it? [Turning everything into content]
– Rock-paper-scissors!
– Okay! Let’s go. [Loser eats onion]
Onions are good, they’re healthy. Rock-paper-scissors! Rock-paper-scissors! [Endless]
Rock-paper-scissors! [(Loss) / (Loss) / (Loss)]
– Done.
– Okay. [(Loss) / (Loss)]
Rock-paper-scissors! Rock-paper-scissors! Rock-paper-scissors! [Jingxiang picked for the penalty]
In one bite. It’s actually delicious. [(Is it tasty?)] Argh! Swallow it! I like it. [What’s left goes into Kyoungbae’s mouth]
Yummy. Can you eat it raw? – Onion is a fruit(?)
– You can eat it. [There’s no way this is a fruit] [Finally Sungmin starts cooking]
You have to put the carrot in first. Do you put all that carrot in? Yes, you have to put it all in. [Customer sensitive about doneness]
Then what if the onion burns? It’s even better. [Respecting the owner’s taste]
Okay. [Clatter]
Put it all in. [So loud]
Good, cool, you’re the best! I don’t think that should go in first. [Becoming sensitive again]
Be quiet. [Rummaging]
Assistant! Don’t forget to grill the ham. Oh right, there was ham. [Essential ingredient for customers]
– Please put in a lot of ham.
– I want a lot of ham. For me, just ham and onion is enough. [Starting to heat up little by little] I can hear the sound. [Sizzle therapy]
The sound is nice. That’s right, control the heat. Does it smell? While you’re at it [Recommendation to hire part-timers]
have someone else do the chopping. [Quickly accepted part-time offer]
Yes, please help with chopping. [(Interested)]
Do you pay part-time wages? [Most important, wage negotiation]
– I’ll pay you.
– How much? What’s the hourly wage? [(Shocking) Hourly wage: 50,000 won]
– 50,000 won!
– 50,000 won hourly? [Can’t miss out on this sweet part-time job]
I’ll do it! Who wants to help with chopping? [High-quality manpower needed for chopping ingredients]
– Give me 50,000 won.
– Won’t your restaurant lose money? [Planning to even bring out a contract soon]
I’m serious. I’m not doing this for content. Got it? I’m serious. [Slightly different attitudes between the two]
– For me it’s just broadcast.
– 50,000 won. [Chef Sungmin hurriedly trying to leave his spot]
Please put this on and chop the vegetables. Weren’t all the vegetables chopped already? No, you still have to chop all of those. [New part-timer full of questions]
– Don’t you put in potatoes?
– No, potatoes have to be steamed to eat. Is this sausage? Don’t we have basic ham? – There was some.
– This is all we prepared. Here it is. [Yeojun prepared it just right]
– I knew this would happen, so I prepared it.
– Very nice. [Actually it was the chef’s personal pick]
I want to put this in. – Put both in.
– Okay. Do I chop this too? Yes. [Yeojun came closer to cover the scene]
The site is cleaner than expected. – There was a reason he left the chopping to the assistant.
– Do we not have scissors? He’s definitely more skilled. [Also humble]
Actually I’m not very good either, but it’s fun. Minwook, you have to make a cat hand. – A cat hand?
– A cat hand. Make a cat hand with your right hand. [Essential cat hand to avoid getting cut by the knife]
– Like this?
– Like this. You have to make a cat hand. [I don’t know about that, but I became a cat] I’ll call the police. – Ppoppi ppoppi ppo, ppoppi ppo
– This is fun. [Eternal communication error]
– It reminds me of playing house.
– A cat hand. Oh! You’re left-handed now. [Because he’s left-handed every day]
I’ve always been left-handed. [Awkward] [Please, act like a cat for a moment]
Minwook, make a cat hand. OK… Thank you. A cat. Thank you for worrying about my hand. You didn’t know how to make a cat hand? Did you learn cooking, Kenshin? [Cat hands that everyone in Japan knows]
Yes, it is taught in Japan’s schools. [Chance to experience neighboring country’s culture]
– You learn cooking at school?
– Yes. You guys don’t? We didn’t learn cooking. [School life close yet different]
I learned from my mom. – My mom is a chef.
– I learn it at school. [The ingredients gradually cooking deliciously]
It smells good. [Feels like the guest has become the host]
It looks like Minwook is the chef. [Splendid] [Uncontrollable thoughts slipping out]
– Minwook looks more like a chef than Sungmin.
– You saw that, right? [The real chef hurriedly responds]
He’s my part-timer. [Seasoning without any measuring]
He should’ve measured with a spoon first. Oh! [Very noisy]
Oh! [Sungmin walking step by step toward hell]
It’s getting closer to hell. – Everyone, the end result is what matters.
– That’s true. [Bold]
Not using a spoon? [Sungmin opened it for no reason and closed it again?]
Why are you closing it again? I think I should add a little more sauce. That’s your problem. [Avoidant chef]
I think I should add a little more sauce. [Members sensing a huge crisis]
– By any chance, is delivery available now?
– Manager! – Please order rice!
– Please order rice! [Snatching up ham first]
I don’t think this will work. What? [Horrified at the sight of all-in ham]
– Those precious hams.
– Everyone! [Chef Sungmin busy calming public opinion]
– It starts now.
– Chef, should I make the sauce for you? This is fun. [The nth complaint]
But there’s way too much. I think you need to take some out. No, it’s okay. I’ll do it. [Ends up being kicked out]
Here, use this. Did you take that over? [Hoping for a bargain purchase]
Trying to get it cheap. Hey, the onion’s too big. [Head starting to get bigger]
Now even the part-timer is starting to judge on his own. [Not Minwook’s restaurant] [Even after being demoted, still struggling]
Oh, this takes a lot of work. [Truly missing the chef]
Mom, I miss you. Wasn’t this what you guys wanted? – No!
– It wasn’t! Be quiet. Did you finish the sauce? [Seems like the part-timer is really struggling]
– Fire the part-timer, boss.
– Who’s the boss? Yes, I finished without any problems. [Adding more water] – You’ll do it with a spoon?
– The more water, the soggier the fried rice gets. [What does measuring mean to Sungmin?]
So why do you do it that way? What are you doing? Why did you use the spoon, then? [Keeping on cooking steadily despite the reactions around] Look at Sungmin. He’s pretending to smell it. You panicked, right? You need to add a bit more. Why are you lifting the spoon? [Spoon shower]
He just wanted to wipe off the sauce over there. Be quiet. [Something clearly went very wrong too]
It’s drenched with water. Are you sure about that? How much rice did you put in, Sungmin? I put in… How many servings? [Answering the assistant’s question with another question]
– Didn’t you put in about four?
– I think it’s about five. My hands are sore. Wait a bit. I’ll make it incredibly delicious for you. – I’m starving now.
– Hey, it’s okay. Omurice. [Omurice coolly skipped]
We can’t eat omurice, but at least we’ll get seaweed soup and chive pancakes properly, right? [(Seaweed soup)]
That’s right. [Egg performance] [Holding a meeting over the strainer] I’m sure the instructions said to do it this way. [Just became a guy shaking eggs] Stir it. [Part-timer carefully teaching from the basics]
Just put it all in, then stir. [Shameless]
I think I’m pretty good at cooking. [Starting to prepare the plate too]
– Already?
– It’s about time to bring it out. Already plating it? [Just reflecting opinions]
Didn’t you say you wanted to eat quickly? Okay, now please scoop the rice neatly here. [Obedient]
Got it, I’ll try to make it look nice. [The hungry kids whose state couldn’t be shown]
They just started grabbing food. This is too pitiful. Hey, wait, eat what I made. [Chef Sungmin getting impatient]
– I told you to use low heat.
– Definitely tastes better grilled. Ah, I’m so hungry. It’s almost done. It’s almost done, everyone. [Plain]
– Is that a pancake?
– I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to be done. Is that a pancake? I’ve seen that before, at my grandma’s house. During Chuseok, on top of newspaper. [Sungmin’s omelet that reminds him of Chuseok]
– Like an egg pancake.
– You know the one with some green bits in flour? What’s that pancake called again? Hey, I made it! [Not trusting it]
Let me check the egg. The heat’s too low, Sungmin. You’re supposed to keep it low. Wait… why is the egg red? [(Awkward)] Didn’t it have [Omelet already seasoned before being soaked in sauce]
ketchup or something on it? Should we just eat the fried rice? [Grabbing spoons and heading straight off] Hey, what are you guys doing? [Choosing safety over adventure] [Monologue with no one listening]
I think I did pretty well. [Carefully plating]
– It’s really not bad.
– Fire the part-timer. It resembles grilled eel rice bowl. [An unexpectedly decent visual]
– It doesn’t look bad.
– It looks like sushi. [Satisfied] [Chef Sungmin’s first dish / Omurice] [Finally, it’s tasting time] Before you eat, let me explain. Sure. What’s the best way to eat it? First, there are lots of vegetables on the side. Then… [Chef struggling with explanations]
My healthy rolled egg. Thank you for the meal. [Quickly wrapping up]
With omurice on the side you should scoop it up and eat it in one big bite. [Fragrance that makes mouths water]
– Okay, that’s how it becomes a delicacy.
– Can we eat now? Thank you for the food, chef. This sauce smells… so sour! [Creating fear from the start]
– I’m sorry, but the sauce smells way too strong.
– Thank you for the food, chef. [Deciding to taste it first before saying more]
– Thank you for the food.
– I feel like we are in “Culinary Class Wars.” Enjoy your meal, everyone. [Careful first bite]
– Not bad.
– Tasty, right? How is it? The ham is so good. [An unexpected compliment]
The sauce isn’t bad either. [Touched]
Jingxiang, you’re the best. I really care about how much the carrots are cooked. It’s good. Are the carrots undercooked? [Very nervous at the chef’s appearance]
How are the carrots? They feel separate, right? From what I see, with your knowledge [Sungmin eliminated(?)]
it seemed a bit lacking. [The point the judge had warned about beforehand]
I made it very clear at the beginning to start with the carrots. [(Big bite)]
It’s because the name of the dish is [Title: Omurice Made by Handsome Sungmin] Why is this handsome Sungmin’s dish so disorganized? [Chef’s charm reflected in the menu]
Since I’m a bit quirky, I tried making it like this. It’s delicious, chef. Not bad. [Revealing the hidden weapon]
Among all the dishes I’ve tried from you [(Eyes fixed)]
this one’s the best. [Unavoidable attraction]
Hey, give me some seaweed too. [Secret from the chef]
Be quiet. [As the tension eases, even the chef tries a bite]
It’s good. Is it good? Oh? Yum! [Satisfied]
It’s delicious. It’s not bad, Sungmin. [Not sure if it’s a compliment or not]
This is the best dish Sungmin has cooked. [Suddenly, rating time begins]
For plating out of five points I give four. It was beautiful. It wasn’t bad. Now for the taste I place a lot of importance [The extreme concept still not over]
on how the carrots are cooked. Why is he talking like that? They weren’t cooked evenly. [2.5 gift]
I give it two and a half points. So extreme. [Disappointed with a score different from expectations]
But the plating was seven point five? [Yeojun’s turn to evaluate]
For me [Worst first impression]
I had no idea what this was when I got it. But after hearing the chef’s explanation, it hit me. It’s a dish that expresses himself. The plating itself is dirty. – It expressed himself exactly.
– That’s right. [Critic Yeojun’s continued praise]
And some parts are cooked, some not. It’s totally like Sungmin, you never know where he’ll go. And this sauce is beyond imagination. [A taste that big corporations couldn’t dare imagine]
You’ll never find it in the market. It has the taste of the sauce yet it also carries Sungmin’s own unique charm. [Yeojun deeply moved in many ways]
You said you expressed yourself, and I believe you did so well. [A great response with 0.1 point for the best taste]
I’ll give it a score of zero point one. The carrot wasn’t cooked and the sauce is sour. That’s all. – I see.
– What about the score? [Seungho’s score is 0.5]
I’ll give it zero point five. [(Clap) / Positive mindset]
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a zero yet. [Congratulations] If the satisfaction score is ten, then [A fiery gift of 9.7 points]
– I’ll give nine point seven, taste-wise.
– That’s way too generous. [All Sungmin can think about is Jinxiang]
It tastes as pretty as Sungmin’s face. A pretty taste? Honestly, more than the ham, I really like this sauce. [Touched]
I’m being serious. [Love exchanged with each other] Let’s move on. It’s tastier than I thought. I expected Sungmin’s cooking would taste bad but I could eat the fried rice and the egg too, so my score is [Since it’s edible, +0.1 point]
– Zero point one.
– It’s edible. Whoa. I’m touched. [Grateful for being able to put it in, chew, and swallow]
– I love you.
– But it’s not delicious, just edible. [(Hehe)] Being edible is enough. [Unforgettable 0.1 point]
That was the best. [The last score, from Minwook]
It’s tastier than I thought. The sauce smelled very sour. I thought I couldn’t eat it, but when I tried it the taste is… I mean the sauce itself… (sniffles) [Checking directly in place of speechless Minwook] [Still, thanks to failing the water measurement, it wasn’t strong]
Fortunately, the sauce wasn’t too strong. So when eating it, the sour taste didn’t come through much, which was nice. [A generous 3 points compared to the first impression]
Three points. [A score that also pleased the chef’s heart]
Because you evaluated the most coldly, my heart feels warm again. [Second dish / Beef seaweed soup] [Time to overcome the pain and make the second dish!]
Okay, it’s the second dish. The dish we’re going to make for you is We? Yes, we, little fruit flies. [(Five assistants)]
Disappeared, right? [The second dish is seaweed soup]
The dish I’m going to make for you is seaweed soup. [Excited] [The time Kenshin wished for]
Seaweed soup that Kenshin wanted so badly. [Time to hire a new part-timer]
I need to pick one assistant. [Picked the man who loves seaweed]
– I want Kenshin to be my assistant.
– Okay. [Big ambition]
I’ll learn how to cook it here and make it at home. You just have to do what I tell you. Got it. [Now the real cooking begins]
We’ll now start making the seaweed soup. – I’m looking forward to it.
– We’re looking forward to it. Okay, Kenshin. [First remove the blood from the meat]
– We need to drain the blood.
– I thought so too. – Do you know how to do it?
– Nope. I’ll show you. [Doesn’t know, just thinks it looks fun]
Let me teach you how. Uh, what cut is this? It’s soup meat. [Flexing with Korean beef for precious guests]
Here we even have Korean beef. [Can’t miss a chance to show off]
– Since you guys are coming, we got Korean beef again.
– Thank you. We need to drain the blood. [Pouring beef like playing house]
Let’s do it with this. Here’s how you do it. This color looks delicious. [Throwing out an unreasonable idea]
Try eating it raw. Sorry? Chef, prove it’s fresh. [Should I quit the shop?]
– The beef?
– Yes. [Counterattack]
Should I make you beef tartare? [?]
The boss is fun. [Cheer up]
Applause. [It does feel chilly though]
It feels a little hot. Now sesame oil. [Flustered]
Ah, let’s execute the meat first. [Passionate but inefficient assistant]
– Sesame oil.
– Okay, good. [Meat goes in first] Just lightly like this. [Experienced cooking class vibe]
– Lightly.
– Yes, that’s good. [(Pleased)] [The fragrant unbeatable combo of beef and sesame oil]
– Oh, it smells so good.
– It really does. [Cooking that actually feels like cooking = stir-frying beef]
I’m doing real cooking now, everyone. I’ll taste the cooked one. [One bite for the helpful assistant too] [Very satisfied] [Quick advice to prevent another omurice disaster]
Sungmin, as far as I know, you need to stir-fry the seaweed with the beef together. [Doesn’t take advice]
– That’s what I’m doing.
– Ah, I see. Jingxiang, do you also eat seaweed soup on birthdays in China? Not really, but I do like it. [Unforgettable memory of seaweed soup during survival show days]
– I ate seaweed soup during the final.
– During survival? Even now, when I see seaweed soup, it kind of scares me. It’s right here, the one you ate. You ate this one. [Meal with raw seaweed]
– You ate rice with this.
– Even now, when I see this Because once it touches water, it swells up. So at first it’s small in volume, and if you keep eating it when you’re hungry. [The seaweed that swelled up inside Jingxiang’s stomach]
It swelled up more than your stomach could handle, and then you ate uncooked instant rice, which made your stomach feel even worse. Then let’s try to overcome that today. [Jingxiang’s challenge to overcome his trauma]
– Yes, but if I eat this
– It’ll taste really good. That’s been soaked, so it’s fine. [Reassuring him passionately]
– It’s been soaked.
– Because it’s been soaked. So it’s like you ate undercooked meat. [Understood]
– I see.
– That’s what it feels like. Wow. [Intoxicated by the fragrance]
– Wow.
– Very good. [Skills improved just after doing it once]
Still, compared to the omurice earlier, this seems much smoother, right? Now, I’ll add some garlic. [(Squish)] [The age where everything is funny] Is it really this much? [Going smoothly]
I added the garlic. I’m not rushing you, but how many minutes will it take? [Completion imminent]
– About four minutes?
– Performance. [Missed the target] Sungmin! [Gen Z who speaks up even to the boss]
The salt went inside. I have a story about seaweed soup. My family doesn’t really celebrate birthdays. Sometimes we’d just buy one ice cream cake and eat it but my mom didn’t cook seaweed soup on birthdays. [Yeojun’s family who are light eaters]
Because even if she cooked it, nobody ate it. My mom didn’t really like it either. So if she cooked it, it’s wasteful. So from the time I finished elementary school onward [Story of not being able to eat homemade seaweed soup]
my mom didn’t cook seaweed soup anymore. I see. Where’s my camera? [Yeojun’s TMI time, that’s all] [The second dish completed while chatting]
– We’re done, everyone.
– Oh, they said it’s done. [Chef Sungmin’s second dish / Beef seaweed soup] It’s made with Sungmin’s short rib meat. – Short rib meat?
– Yes. [Urgently needs consumer report]
– Beef cut.
– It said brisket. [Title: Beef seaweed soup made with short rib meat] – Wow.
– Precious and expensive short rib meat. [Cooking explanation time]
– What’s special about this dish?
– Well there’s not much broth. That’s part of the charm. I see. It’s like jjageuli! [Jjageuli-style seaweed soup with rich condensed flavor]
Right, it’s similar to jjageuli seaweed soup. [A name that might have demand]
Jjageuli seaweed soup sounds nice. Oh, that’s good. Then let’s do it like this. [Final final dish name]
Jjageuli seaweed soup made with Sungmin’s short rib meat. Wow. [Full of confidence]
I drained the blood properly and cooked it this way, so please enjoy the seaweed soup. Thank you for the food. [Starting the tasting with anticipation]
– First, a sip of broth.
– It smells good. Not bad. It tastes a lot like soy sauce. [A menu recommended when urgent sodium is needed]
Wow, soy sauce. Why is it so salty? Because it’s jjageuli style. [Steamed rice sold separately]
It’s supposed to be eaten with rice, but you didn’t order rice. Drinking the broth felt like drinking soy sauce. [After sneaking in seaweed, now adding water]
I felt it too, but because it’s jjageuli, I can’t complain. [Just a question]
Haven’t you ever thought the meat is too overcooked and tough? [The type to only think positively]
– No, never once.
– Fair enough. Hm? It’s fine. [Back to rating time]
Let’s start the taste evaluation with Kyoungbae. For me [(Ready) / (?)]
Can I even say this? – Yes.
– Plastic… [Caught a hygiene issue on the very first day of business] [It looks nothing like ingredients for seaweed soup]
– Huh?
– Call the owner. [Blaming others before even checking]
– Did you put this in on purpose?
– Where would I even get plastic from? What is this? [Destroying evidence]
Come on! [Hands are slower than eyes]
We also need to check the hygiene score. [Please give a fair evaluation]
Alright, please give me your taste review. I really value the doneness of meat, you know. [Mindset of giving his all in everything]
You value a lot of things. [Clearly not enough for a perfectionist]
I’ll give it one point five. Wow. [DIY fixing seasoning]
After adding water, the seasoning got better. Okay, please tell us. Oh, it’s really tasty. I can’t really give an objective evaluation because I normally don’t like seaweed soup. That’s a shame. [Skipping since it’s a shame] For me the seaweed was tasty. [It was tasty but the soy sauce taste held it back]
But since I didn’t add water, it felt like drinking soy sauce. Maybe it’s because the next dish is chive pancake. [It was actually soy sauce for dipping]
– To dip in.
– If that was the big plan, I’d give five points. [Sharp guesses from the guests]
– That was the big plan.
– Then five points. [Suddenly a genius chef]
Five stars. [Scolding]
Why only this much meat? The meat was lacking? [Suing for being disappointed]
Report him. [A deduction reason one can agree with]
– Well, that should also be reflected in the score.
– Right, that can happen. [Who are you to say that?]
That can happen? [Impossible to hold back anger when there’s little meat]
– Jingxiang is sensitive about meat.
– It couldn’t be helped, it was short rib meat. [Anger instantly relieved if given meat instead]
– Here, lots of meat for you.
– Alright. What’s the score now? [Achieved 9.7 points thanks to Yeojun’s assist]
Nine point seven. Thank you. [Satisfied]
Kenshin. [Kenshin’s turn to score]
– Yes.
– We made it together. I did make some of it and It was exactly my taste. Koreans may consider it salty [A taste that perfectly suits Kenshin’s palate]
but I eat a lot of salty foods in Japan. I’d love to have salty seaweed soup like this delivered to me. [A taste that went straight to Kenshin’s heart]
– That’s high praise. Is it worth buying?
– It’s really delicious. [Better than delivery foods]
I prefer this over delivery because the soy sauce taste is so strong. Well, for me [Dislike of soy sauce]
I think you added a bit too much soy sauce. But the beef was so delicious, honestly I wanted to eat more. [It was a bit salty but tasty]
It was a different, tasty kind of seaweed soup. So how many points? Three point five! [Overall, very positive]
– Oh, that’s good.
– How many points was the omurice, three? If it got more than the omurice if you had to choose between the two for dinner today I’d eat seaweed soup. [The second menu, seaweed soup, was a success!]
– Me too, seaweed.
– I think I would too. [The third dish / Chive pancake with crispy center] Okay, this time it’s chive pancakes. [Need a new assistant]
I need one assistant. [Choosing the youngest who likes pancakes]
– I’ll pick Kyoungbae.
– Kyoungbae loves pancakes like this. [Back to ingredient prep time]
We have to chop the vegetables first. [Enough quantity for a company dinner]
– Is this water parsley?
– It’s chives. [Slap] Performance. [Sharing preferences in advance]
Not too much batter. Get the batter ready. [Handle entrusted to an assistant of five minutes]
Isn’t that the most important part? [Oops]
Get him to chop that while you work on the batter. [Finally got his role back]
– Please chop this coarsely.
– Alright. So that’s how it is. [Kyoungbae looks like a pro despite being a rookie]
Looks like Kyoungbae helped his mom with cooking. [An inborn talent thanks to his mother]
Of course, my mom is a chef. My mom is a chef too. Kyoungbae’s mom, please invite us! [The type that shows interest in ingredients]
There’s squid going in too? That’s right. Does anyone dislike squid? [A considerate restaurant that even checks for allergies]
Does anyone have allergies? I’ll leave it out in advance. Oh, I like that attitude. [The importance of a single word]
That’s such a good mindset to have as an owner. [Confused by the shape of the onion]
– What do I do?
– The onion. [Seems Sungmin is finally at ease]
Slice it like julienne. That’s it. [One student, six teachers]
– As thin as possible.
– Make it long, the same length as the chives. I came alone. [A singing round that begins with Kyoungbae’s single word]
I came alone, I came as two, I came as three. [Decided to really start the game]
How many people did you come with? [Embarrassed] [Never missing a chance to tease]
– Welcome.
– Olive Young here. [Gathering courage to try again]
Welcome. How many people did you come with? [(One)]
I came alone. [(One)(Two)]
We came as two. [(One)(Two)(Three)]
We came as three. [(One)(?) / Jingxiang picked] I didn’t know it would be this hard. Act cutely, please. [It’s been a while since we’ve seen Jingxiang’s cute expression!]
Make a cute face. You really have to be cute. […?]
I said you have to be cute. – Am I cute?
– Not cute. Am I cute? [His cuteness doesn’t work]
– Cuter.
– Please do it cuter. Bbooing bbooing! [Self-approval]
Okay, let’s move on. [Always with a concept]
Welcome, how many people did you come with? [(One)]
I came alone. [(One)(Two) / (One)(Two)(Three?))]
– We came as two.
– We came as three. [Yeojun is chosen] Where’s the camera? [Accepting his fate]
Tell me, give me an order. I don’t really know how to. Yeojun doesn’t like onions. [Serious] [Can’t lie, so he’s doomed]
I can’t lie to CLOSERs. [Solved the problem easily]
Then I like onions. [Now it’s the truth, so no problem]
Good. You can’t lie, have to be honest. [While watching Yeojun, two joined in together]
– Say, “I like onions.”
– I like them. Yeojun likes… Yeojun… [Strict aegyo authority]
– Ah, you can’t do it shyly like that.
– If you stop in the middle, you have to do it again. Yeodooni likes onions. [May Yeojun’s love for onions last forever]
– That’s nice.
– Nice. Where are you going to go? Ah, I want to go over there. How many people? I came alone. We came as two. We came as three. We came as four(?) [Bewildered]
– Why aren’t you guys getting up?
– Back to alone again. [Group guests must book in advance]
– Only up to three people.
– If it’s four or five people, then everyone has to get up together. Okay then, Jinxiang. [Difficulty upgraded]
Jinxiang hates sesame oil. [Uh…] Jinxiang [Don’t accept dependable babies]
– No way.
– My voice is originally like this. [Given up] Jinxiang hates sesame oil. [Jinxiang looks extremely distressed]
Jinxiang hates sesame oil. You couldn’t even talk. [Input]
Pretend to cry. [Output] [Kitchen team that forgot while playing around]
Is it going well? Yes, it’s [Very suspicious]
completely done. Why the potato… [They keep wanting to interfere]
– It’s complete.
– Can we watch over your shoulder? Oh yes, of course. [At least the visuals are like that]
– Wow.
– Beautiful, right? But the batter seems a bit weird. Ah, that’s still not done yet. Uh, but I already put this in? This is separate. [Kitchen team was preparing requested chive pancake / plus potato pancake]
That’s potato and this is chive. Everyone, trust me. [Tired of waiting, playing radio]
Welcome to Sungmin’s restaurant. Today’s song is “Every Moment of You” by Sung Si-kyung. [For the first time, BGM fills the restaurant]
– Nice, this vibe is nice.
– Hey, that’s it, do it like that. [Added sound effects to match the pancake]
Hey, add rain sounds too. [Two-man BGM team that goes wherever vibes are needed] Rain sounds aren’t easy, though. [Weather manipulation]
Pancake is perfect for this situation. Isn’t this too watery? I think it needs some starch. [An assistant who can do well even alone] [Mid-check] Oh, it’s really thick. It won’t be easy to get it crispy. If you go to that Sinsa restaurant [Recommendation: Sinsa-dong famous restaurant]
There’s a really thick pancake there, I’m copying that one. I think the smell is good too. I think it’s time to flip it now. [Confidence dropping]
But this is too thick [Preview of disaster] [Emergency repair work]
Should I flip the pancake for you? [Unfounded confidence]
No, it’s dangerous. Can you do it? [Finally time to flip the chive pancake]
– Okay everyone, the highlight is coming.
– Oh, you have to see this. [Kyaak]
Nice. It’s just right. [Success anyway]
– Nice.
– Not bad. [Also putting in the potato pancake batter with unique visuals] [Is this right?]
– Is potato pancake originally like this?
– I don’t know. [Since it’s for service, just means eat it gratefully]
This is for service anyway. [Fresh chili brought right before completion] There was chili? [Yes, I mean, no]
No, there isn’t. [Absurd] Why are you suddenly hiding it? No, there isn’t. [(Not a random penalty)]
– Is this adjusted to each person’s personality? It’s all so different.
– Right. [Meanwhile the table team was waiting while playing Son Byung-ho game]
Fold your finger if you didn’t know there was chili. Can I do it? Fold your finger if you didn’t know there was chili. [Somehow feeling wronged]
– You guys knew?
– Of course we knew. Oh, you didn’t know? He didn’t know it. [If I knew he didn’t know, I would never have done it!]
I feel sorry. [(No idea)] [Off guard]
Potato pancake with parmesan cheese? True Korean pizza. [Sprinkling] Fold your finger if you said Korean pizza. [Ah, really a mistake]
I had no idea it was you. [Unintentionally only Minwook keeps getting caught]
I swear I had no idea. [Love you]
I had no idea. [Belated fear]
I had no idea. Yeojun was about to say [Meanwhile Yeojun had said leader fold]
“Fold if you’re the leader,”but suddenly he went, “Fold your finger if you said Korean pizza.” As expected, Minwook. Hey, doesn’t it look done? [Chive pancake and potato pancake completed before they knew it]
– I believe it’s done.
– Share it out. – Is it finally coming out?
– Wow, look at Kyoungbae’s one. [The most anticipated dish of the day]
Okay, everyone, this is it. Sungmin made this, right? [Crunch] [A bit burdensome decoration]
Cool. Okay, it’s done! [Chef Sungmin’s third dish / Chive pancake with a crispy center] [Strong opposition to dirty plating] Was it supposed to be done like that? The carrot and potato are completely… Then please enjoy it. Did you steal Rudolph’s nose? [Rudolph: Ouch]
Didn’t you steal Rudolph’s nose? But is the pancake all cooked? So that is [Random upset stomach pancake with no one responsible]
I don’t know either. Please enjoy it. Can you explain the dish for us? Chive pancake topped with fresh chives! [Collaboration of fried rice and chive pancake]
I tried making a chive pancake with a fried rice feel because I live in Jeonju, Jeolla-do. [Likes intentional things]
– So it was intentional?
– Yes, so I tried stir-frying a bit. Shouldn’t it be more like bibimbap? [Almost became pancakeju fried rice]
I guess so, it turned into bibimbap chive pancake. What kind of answer is “I guess so”? [Kyoungbae the part-timer’s service dish / Potato pancake] [Potato pancake also delivered in a pretty dish]
What’s this? It’s potato pancake. But when I tasted it the potato flavor is strong. [Jingxiang’s taste exactly]
It’s so delicious. Out of all the pancake I’ve tried [High praise]
– it’s tasty enough to be in the top three.
– Really? I mean, the one that Kyoungbae made. [Respect to Kyoungbae who made the potato pancake]
So good. This is very delicious. I acknowledge it too. Seo Kyoungbae! Seo Kyoungbae! Seo Kyoungbae! [Embarrassed] Because I ate this after eating the chive pancake [Cover Sungmin’s ears]
it tastes even better. So please rate the taste. Can I go first? [Nothing but admiration] – Yes.
– Go ahead. It’s zero points! Sungmin. I’m very disappointed. [Anger rising again]
– Why are you so mad?
– Suddenly? [(Nervous)]
Because he’s really serious about food. [Minwook is the only one who takes care]
The taste isn’t bad. Thank you. [Completely drained in every way]
Thank you, I’ve lost all my energy. [The last dish / Chef’s special dish] [The long-awaited time for revenge]
I’ll try to make spaghetti from heaven rather than spaghetti from hell. [Sungmin challenges spaghetti from heaven]
It’s spaghetti from heaven, then. – Yes, I’ll try the challenge once more.
– Spaghetti. [Full of anticipation]
– I’ll look forward to it.
– Me too. I’ll look forward to it. I’ve never tried the spaghetti that Sungmin made. [Becoming like a legend to the members who never tried it]
How bad was it? I haven’t eaten it either. That was from hell. [Yeojun, the source of the rumor, is set to act as assistant]
Since today I’m Sungmin’s assistant, I’ll do whatever I’m told. However compared to the three dishes before this Sungmin is clearly more confident. [Shy] You’ve made it before, right? When I looked at the recipe it clearly said one teaspoon of salt [As if conscious of the bland spaghetti from hell]
but he took a handful of it. [Already explaining before being questioned]
Because I poured too much water. I adjusted the amount. I’ll trust you. Good. Isn’t that too much? [Now even good at comebacks]
Because there’s a lot of water. Is the assistant playing automatically? [Equipped with auto-hunting mode]
Auto-hunting. He does the tasks even without being told. Nice. Slice this too. How many mushrooms should I slice? That? [Proceeding quickly thanks to the assistant]
That should be enough. Now I’m full so it really has to be delicious. [Since the hunger buff is gone, now it must win with taste]
– The standard has gone up.
– The standard has risen. When you made omurice, I was starving, so I ate a lot even though it didn’t taste good. Kenshin, it’s a secret. [Secret revealed by Kenshin] Okay, then. Since it’s spaghetti, let’s make an acrostic poem with “spaghetti,” Jingxiang. [Acrostic poem challenge]
Seu. Sushi. – Pa.
– Pa. Blue. Gae. Gae? Gae… [Out of ideas]
Gae You’re out. Okay, Kyoungbae, sesame oil. Cham. – So impressive.
– The water isn’t boiling. [The scent of fun] [Upset]
Are you talking while looking at me? Gi. You shouldn’t put oil in there. [Thrilling] Reum. Look carefully at my gallant figure. [No, go back]
Please go out. Staff only. [Unending acrostic poem]
Now acrostic poem with “alpaca.” Al Alpaca Pa (Oh?) Eating green onion? Ca! Ca, so tasty. [Pass] [Had a vibe]
It’s good today. It wasn’t bad. Kenshin. I can’t do this at all. [Specially adjusting the difficulty with a two-line poem]
Sushi. Su What are you making right now? Spaghetti! Shi! I don’t want it. [Satisfied]
That’s the answer I wanted. [Now it’s about time to boil the noodles]
Now I’ll put in the noodles. Unlike back then I had never added salt, but I did this time. I had never added olive oil, but I did now. [Hoping Sungmin’s effort bears fruit]
Won’t it be different? Now I’ll add the sausages. [Swoosh] [The most reliable assistant]
Once the sausages are cooked to some extent, then add the sauce. Okay. [At this point, addicted to watching cooking]
Since I’m bored, I should go take a look. But it smells good. Is it garlic sausage? [Sausage cooked deliciously]
Yes, I think so. Hey Yeojun, let’s taste the noodles now. [Tasting before they’re fully cooked (?)]
They’re not cooked. Try it. How is it? Hard? [You must tear the noodles by hand] It’s standing. [A rare spectacle] [Can’t hold back curiosity]
Boss, are you going to keep doing it like this? [Sharing hard raw noodles]
What is this? It’s plastic. Are we putting all this in? Of course, all of it. [How to avoid hell spaghetti / Never skimp on ingredients]
Last time I didn’t have this, so you turned it into hell. [Wanting to add at least something]
Should I put in cheongyang chili peppers? No. Kenshin can’t eat that, boss. Oh, won’t this be a bit spicy? [Full and no longer desperate]
Doesn’t matter. You can make it spicy. I’ll make it delicious. Anyway… I wasn’t going to eat it. [Despair] [The dish almost complete]
It’s almost done, everyone. I’m looking forward to it. Shouldn’t the boss handle this? [Feels like something important has changed]
It’s me who adds the noodles. Normally, for this kind of thing [Seems really exhausted]
the assistant should… How did you make it last time? I was grilling meat last time, so I didn’t see. [Explaining the visit]
The sauce was insufficient. [Noodles cooked evenly]
Was it that kind of sauce? Yes. It’s tempting. [Even more expectations though it’s the last dish]
It smells good. Nice. If I take out one of these… I’ve had enough now, boss. We still need one here. [Almost put everything into one bowl]
It’s seven portions. How many are you planning to make? It’s seven? Yes, boss, can’t you count? [Seems to have forgotten they’re a seven-member group]
Why are there eight? Turns out cooking isn’t the only thing you can’t do. You can’t do anything. Oh my god. Can’t do math either? Can’t do math. He also can’t do math. [Spaghetti back from hell] Since this is today’s special menu, please enjoy it. [The most serious moment of the day] Everyone, how is it? Is it good? [A mysterious sour taste?]
It’s kind of sour. It’s really sour. But the sour ones [Unfair / Sourness is an uncontrollable situation]
What brand is this? [Still willing to solve the problem actively]
I’ll ask about it. [Last taste evaluation time]
Please evaluate the taste. When I wasn’t close with Sungmin if he made this at home I’d probably eat it saying it’s good. [A taste only possible when he’s my precious friend]
But if he sold this, I’d never buy it again. I think that’s how it tastes. Okay, Kenshin. [Ranking first place over seaweed soup]
I think it’s the most delicious dish today. [Relieved]
Thank you. – Can I evaluate it?
– Yes. When I first ate it It was fine… It’s because you were hungry. It was fine at first [Jingxiang disappointed with the sour aftertaste]
but it’s too sour. – Too sour?
– Yes. So, was the one before better? [Jingxiang actually prefers the hell version]
Yes, it was. I’m disappointed. I think Jingxiang prefers bland things. Compared to the first time you cooked, somehow [Extra points for attitude]
it’s better organized [Hmm]
and it got a bit better. Okay, Yeojun. I’ll give just one line of review. [Workload too much to endure even with 50,000 won per hour]
Please let me resign. Give me severance pay. [Resignation letter stolen]
You’re too good at work so you can’t resign. [Last turn for Kyoungbae]
Kyoungbae. Everyone. Do you know what the weather is like in Italy? Wouldn’t it be raining? [His body won’t move the way he wants it to] Are you out of ad-libs? I’ll do it again. Everyone. [Kind]
The weather in Italy is… Everyone. Do you know what the weather is like in Italy? [(Don’t know)]
What is it like? What is it like? I don’t know. Humidghetti? [All tasting completed] Now it’s the final evaluation. [An important choice that will decide the future of Sungmin Restaurant]
Was my dish from hell, or heaven? Based on this, I’ll decide whether to open this place or not. [Serious]
Okay. I’ve decided. [Moment of destiny]
Everyone ready? Yes. Turn it at the count of three. One, two, three. [Everyone united in choosing the taste of heaven] [Except for one] Out of seven people [Except for just one, five chose the taste of heaven]
five chose the taste of heaven. [The honest youngest of Gen Z with strong will]
Kyoungbae alone chose the taste of hell. Kyoungbae. Then I should’ve picked hell. Why? [Unexpected reason]
I picked heaven because I thought everyone would pick hell. Oh, me too! Me too! [Actually, everyone felt the same]
That’s how I voted too. [Even Jingxiang I trusted]
I thought so. [The last choice leaving some regret(?)] Okay, I understand your hearts. [Even if words are teasing, the warm heart is felt]
You really care a lot for the members. [Except for one]
Kyoungbae, why did you choose hell? To show that I don’t hide sneakily in the back. That I can live confidently. [Positive mindset / At least he won’t lie elsewhere]
Good. It means you can’t even tell white lies. For me… Was the taste good? [Error] Why are you hesitating? [Agreement through sincerity]
– Thank you for making us food filled with sincerity.
– I appreciate his sincerity. Now you’ve become such a great chef who can even bring us to heaven. Congratulations, Sungmin. Next time we’ll again [Reserved for regulars]
come taste Sungmin’s cooking. [Hardship we don’t want to go through twice]
That time, I’ll just give you guys delivery food. [Good job, Chef Sungmin]
Give him applause. You worked hard. Good job. Thank you for the meal. Good job. [This place with warm food until late night is]
Thank you for continuing to taste my food until this late hour. [Sungmin’s Heaven Restaurant]
