(Five years ago)

You can eat out while I'm away, right?

Are you worried
that I might starve to death?

Don't just eat ramyeon, okay?

All right.

I'm steaming rice in the rice cooker now,

so make sure to stir it once it's done.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay!

You'll be away only for a couple of days.

I marinated raw meat
and put it in the fridge.

Got it.

- You just need to grill it.
- Okay.

Jae Ho, did you find the charger?

Yes.

I wish you could come with us.

You know I have to work.
Let's go together later.

It's been a long time
since you last went to Jeju Island, right?

That's right.

You like to stay at home alone, don't you?

No, I don't.

Yes, Da Sol.

Did you arrive? I'm going down now.

Take care.

Have a good time, Jae Ho.

- Bye.
- Bye.

(Today)

(Episode 2, The Miracle of Space Warp,
Dombe Noodles)

I beat eggs and spread them...

on a frying pan like the ocean.

I beat five viable eggs
and added a bit of organic milk.

You have to prepare the ingredients
to put into the omelet in advance.

Since potatoes and carrots are hard,
chop them into small pieces.

And chives are spicy,
so chop them finely as well.

Onions are a bit softer,
so chop them into bigger pieces...

and dice mushrooms into the same size
as the onions.

You don't need to chop tomatoes
too finely,

but into moderate-sized pieces.

If anyone asks me why I prepare
so many ingredients for the omelet,

it's because most vegetables
are helpful for a patient's health.

It's hard to know
which one is specifically good.

The higher the chance is,
the better it is.

Come to think of it,

I should put some spinach too.

If you cook an omelet,

you can even make others eat
what they don't like.

If they eat without knowing,

they're less likely to puke.

(Omelet with various vegetables in)

The owner of the body is the heart.

You put many things into this.

I can tell that you made this
to make me eat all these vegetables.

She noticed it.

But...

I wonder what you wanted me to eat.

I can taste tomatoes.

Chives, onions, potatoes, carrots...

And this mushroom is shiitake?

But what's this?

Spinach.

It's good to eat various ingredients.

People expect too much from the food.

You can see those on the wall explaining
how good their foods are for health...

in every restaurant.

But food isn't medicine.

Is there anything you want to eat?

If I do, can you cook whatever it is?

Of course.

There's no recipe
I can't find on the internet.

You sound very confident, don't you?

I don't really have any, though.

Just tell me anything.

Anything?

Look at that.

Jae Ho was still very young at the time.

That place is beautiful.

Where is it?

Where was it?

I remember that the water was so clear.

The name of the beach was...

Oh, gosh.

Should I look it up for you?

No, don't.

I don't want to look up on the internet...

everything I don't remember.

What was it?

I remember it now!

So where was it?

I mean what I want to eat.

I have something I want to eat now.

What is it?

Dombe noodles.

What?

Before we went to that beach,
we ate at the nearby restaurant.

And dombe noodles we had there
were really good.

Dombe noodles?

When we write,

we mostly care about "how."

But what's more important is...

"why" we write.

Writing must not...

be like the torturing homework
we hate to do but are forced to do.

If we only focus
on writing something beautiful,

it becomes such dreadful homework
which is very stressful.

So just start writing what's in your mind.

You should be happy when writing.

That's what I want you to do.

This is all for today.

Any questions before we wrap it up?

See?

Taking the first step is
always the hardest.

Don't care about what others would
think about you.

Just raise your hand.
That's all you need to do.

Okay?

Good.

When I sit at the desk to write something,

my head goes blank.

I just don't know what to write.

What should I write, then?

If you have nothing to say,
don't say anything,

and if you've got nothing to write,
don't write anything.

I'm just joking.

So you have nothing to write.

All right.

On your desk,

there's nothing to write.

Then,

get up and go outside.

Face the world...

and interact with other people.

Then, you'll start to have
your own thoughts and opinions.

That's when you should come back
to your desk.

And then, start writing.

Sure.

It's not a question.

But I enjoy reading your blog.

That's what I wanted to say.

So we're blog friends, I guess.

Nice to meet you.

You've been uploading recipes these days.

Well, they aren't good enough
to be called recipes, though.

You didn't actually try them yourself
and came to complain...

because they didn't taste good, did you?

It's quite sad.

What made you so sad?

I don't really know why.

Sir,

can you please put together
your cooking stories in a book?

Sure, I can do that.

Thank you.

Take care.

Thank you for your lecture.

Good work today.

Sun A,

did you say you also read my blog?

I did.

Are my writings really sad?

Seriously?

I thought I was the only one
feeling that way.

Those are only recipes.

I don't know why,

but strangely, reading your postings...

makes me have a lump in my throat.

Guess what the third most thing...

high school seniors want to do
after taking SAT.

Getting a studio.

Wrong.

Getting a driver's license.

Then what would be ranked second?

Moving out of the parents' house?

No way! Is that all you have in your mind?

It's going on a trip.

I also want to go on a trip.

What'd be in the first place?

Being independent of the parents.

Geez!

You're such a consistent guy.

It is...

getting a part-time job.

- Part-time job?
- Right?

Why would they want to work
after taking SAT?

That's hard to understand.

Let me see it.

(The three most things want to do
after taking SAT)

The part-time job platform
conducted this survey.

That's why the results came out like this.

Oh, that's why...

I wish I could go on a trip.

But not with my parents.

Then who do you want to go with?

That's not important,

but where I go is.

I've never been to Jeju.

- Have you?
- Yes.

When I was in middle school.

Was it nice?

I don't really remember.

I went there with my mom and aunt.
It must've been boring.

Where on Jeju did you go?

On the first day,

we walked the Songak trekking route
and went to Saryeoni Forest.

And we went to Ttarabi Oreum
on the second day...

You said you didn't remember it.

How about the beach? You didn't visit any?

We did.

It was so pretty.

It was...

in Aewol.

I looked up online...

a restaurant that served
Jeju's local dishes near my house...

and came.

It's hard to cook something
that I haven't tried.

Without knowing its taste,

it's hard to know what to make.

They boiled pig bone
for a long time to get the broth...

and used a bit thick noodles.

It's very difficult
to make this broth at home.

It's the taste you can get...

only when making a large proportion
at once.

Now I get what it tastes like,

but how do I make this at home?

Jeju Beach,

Seogwipo Beach...

Seongsanpo Beach...

No.

Oh, it's so frustrating.

Oh, sir.

I thought you were vegetarian.

Hi.

How are you?

I'm not vegetarian. My wife is...

not feeling so well,

so I take extra care about food.

Bone broth is the best invigorating food.

Do you know dombe noodles?

Jeju Island's traditional pork noodles.

Of course, I do.

I was going to open a restaurant
that sells Jeju food,

so I went to Jeju so many times.

So first,

you make broth with pig bones.

Then, boil a block of pork belly
and use it as garnish.

But...

making the broth at home won't be easy.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

But I promised that I'd make it.

You're so sweet.

If that's the case...

Wait here.

What about this?

It takes forever to make bone broth
at home.

With the broth you get
after boiling the meat,

mix this with a ratio of 1 to 1.

The taste will be exactly the same.

Is there a broth made
with black pork produced in Jeju?

Jeju?

It doesn't taste different from this.

You can get pork anywhere in Korea,

but to get the taste of Jeju
as close as possible,

I decided to be picky.

In the Jeju dialect,
a cutting board is called "dombe."

When boiled meat is served
on a cutting board,

it's called "dombe meat."

When it's served on a plate, it's "suyuk."

It's important to add some doenjang paste
when boiling pork.

When cooking in the kitchen,

you often experience miracles...

where things repeatedly disappear
and appear.

And today, bay leaves are
the miracle for me.

It seems like I should give up
on bay leaves.

It won't make a big difference, hopefully.

They will appear like a miracle
when I no longer need them.

Once the pork is boiled,
it's almost ready.

so there's no need to hurry.

And there's no one who's waiting
with an empty stomach.

Da Sol.

I guess I called you at night.

What time is it there?

Hi.

It's okay. What happened?

It's nothing.

- Have you been well?
- Yes.

Nothing special, you know.

Are you sure nothing happened?

Yes, it's all good.

Da Sol,

we went to Jeju Island
about five years ago.

Right.

We went to a beach.
Do you remember its name?

Of course not.

What's wrong?

You can look it up on the internet.

No, I don't really have to do that.

Aren't you going to visit Korea
with your husband?

I plan to visit there this summer,
but I'm not sure...

if we'll send Tae O to the summer camp
or if we'll go to Korea.

We should meet this time.
It's been a few years.

Right. I'll have to see.

Yes.

It's strange.

You called me at this hour
to ask me such a random thing.

It's not strange.
I was just confused about the time there.

- I'm sorry. Go back to sleep.
- Okay.

It's the proofread copy
of Writer Lim's manuscript.

She sent it a week after the meeting
with no delay.

Is the cover draft out?

I've uploaded it to the cloud.

Which one got the most votes?

We voted for Draft A.

I like it too.

If we print this phrase on the book band,

won't it look much neater?

But it'll cost more, right?

Yes, but I'll talk to the printing house.

Editor Choi.

You know Jeju well, right?

It's not in Jungmun Tourism Complex.

Have you been to the western beach
of the less crowded island?

Where?

What I remember is...

there were many stones.

And you know, there were the trees
which can only be found on Jeju Island...

Should I look it up for you?

No thanks.

Here is the dish you ordered.

It looks good.

By the way, what's this?

Dombe noodles. You said you wanted them.

- I'm home.
- Welcome back, Jae Ho.

You're home at the right time.

Sit down. Let's have dinner.

It's delicious.

Jae Ho,

does it taste like the noodles
you had on Jeju with your mom?

It does. Or maybe not.

I'm not sure.

Don't answer it half-heartedly.
Try to remember it.

Does it taste the same or not?

Why is it important? I said it was good.

It's really good.

Jae Ho, do you remember where it was?

Your mom says
she can't remember it at all.

I mean,
I just can't remember the name of it.

This beach?

- Mom, it was...
- Don't say it!

No one can say a word!

I'll think of it myself.

The dombe noodles in her memory...

must be different from the ones I had.

That means I tried to make a dish
I did not know.

(It looks good, but the traditional one
in Jeju is made in a different way.)

Traditional one in Jeju?

Dombe noodles were first served
as a dish at feasts.

On Jeju Island,

they slaughtered a pig on a feast day...

and served gwegiban,

a dish consisting of three pieces of pork,
tofu, and sundae.

They also served momguk, a soup...

made by boiling pork broth with gulfweed,
a type of marine plant.

But during the Japanese colonization,

all the marine plants in Korea
were delivered to Japan,

so the people on Jeju could no longer
eat momguk.

So they adopted janchi noodles,
meaty noodles, from the land,

and it's the origin
of dombe noodles of today.

After the independence,
due to a lack of supplies from the land,

pork also got scarce.

So dombe noodles disappeared for a while.

But in the mid-1990s,

it revived as a nostalgic dish,

and now it has become
Jeju's traditional dish...

that is loved by tourists.

And that is when they started
to use pig bones...

to get the milky and rich broth.

Boiling pork is the same as before.

I added doenjang paste,

green onions, a few cloves of garlic,
ginger, and whole peppers.

Bay leaves.

I knew it.

Thanks for showing up when I need you.

Gosh.

This is where the difference
is started to make.

Marinated bean sprouts are
added as a garnish...

in real traditional Jeju's dombe noodles.

Instead of bone broth,

I add chopped onions, carrots,
and green onions...

to add flavor to the broth.

If you soak boiled pork for a while...

in cold water
where vinegar and salt are added,

the meat will stay firm without crumbling.

It's so hot.

The second difference.

Eggs.

It's called "doksaegi"
in the Jeju dialect.

In traditional dombe noodles,

beaten doksaegi must be added.

When I was little,

eggs were served as a delicacy
to the guests who visited our home.

With no bone broth,

I can now fully taste
the unique flavor of pork.

Although I haven't tried it before,

they say this is
how the dish is traditionally made,

so I have no choice but to trust them.

Since wheat had been rare on Jeju,

using buckwheat as the basic ingredient
for noodles must've been a natural thing.

Tastes...

have the power to bring back memories.

I hope she can recall...

the splendid afternoon on Jeju beach
while eating dombe noodles.

(Dombe noodles
re-made in the traditional way)

Jae Ho!

Why didn't you go in?

What are you doing there?

I was waiting for you.

Are you uncomfortable with Dad at home?

I know I shouldn't feel that way.

Yes, it's understandable.

I didn't ask about your opinion,

and it's my fault.

I don't want to get in the way
of your and Dad's relationship.

- Mom.
- Yes?

When I enter college...

You're already in.

I mean, once the semester begins,

can I move out and live alone?

I know I can't do that on my own,

but if you help me get a studio,

I'll work part-time
and pay the rent myself...

- Jae Ho...
- You said you'd let me do...

whatever I wanted
as long as I entered college.

All I want from you...

is this.

You came back together.

We just met downstairs.

That's good.

Let's have dinner together.

Jae Ho said
he'd already eaten with his friend.

Go in and get some rest.

What did you make this time?
You looked very busy.

Dombe noodles.

What?

But we had it the other day.

You said it didn't taste the same.

But it was tasty.

This one is different, so try it.

About Jae Ho's present
for getting into college...

Yes. Did he tell you what he wanted?

What is it?

He wants to get a studio and move out.

He's such an unpredictable boy,
just like someone.

He must feel uncomfortable around me.

I don't think that's the only reason.

Now that he's become a grownup,

he must want to live
like an independent entity.

Would he have asked for the same...

if he'd known about your condition?

Still,

I don't think it's a good idea
to tell him about it...

right after he told me
that he wanted to move out.

Why don't we let him do as he wishes...

and...

just wait and see what awaits us?

Will you be okay?

He's now a big boy.

I'm just wondering...

why guys in my family
desperately want to move out.

Here. I made it in a different way.

If you say this isn't it again,

I give up.

It's so nice!

Hey, I'm all wet. Gosh!

You should go in too!

In 1, 2, 3!

Look at Jae Ho. He looks so awkward.

- It's Gwakji!
- What?

It's Gwakji Beach in Aewol.

It has an open-air bath
and a big female diver statue!

- Gwakji?
- Now I feel so great.

As soon as I tasted this, I remembered it.

Jae Ho came out.

Jae Ho.

It's Gwakji Beach.

Where we went with Aunt Da Sol, right?

You just remembered it?

You could just ask me.

Traditional Jeju dombe noodles
taste special...

from their soup.

It's clean yet deep.

With the light taste of doenjang,

it has a slight sweetness.

When the special taste is...

combined with the place in the memory,
it makes a miracle happen.

(Marinated vegetables that have
the heart of the one who makes them)

(Comments)

I'm happy that you liked this dry posting.

Sadness always follows us around
like our shadows.

But I write...

because I want to share joy, not sadness.

I hope I can share the joy with you...

with my postings about recipes.

(I learned a lot again.
So you had a happy dinner.)

(We're together.
I always root for you.)

(Please cheer up, sir.
So you found the taste of Jeju!)

(Your postings comfort me a lot.
I hope you have lots of happy times.)

Mom!

What's wrong, Mom?

Mom, are you okay?

Are you sick?

Dad, Mom's weird.

Jae Ho.

Go get the car keys now.

Can you get up?

Stand up slowly.

You can't get up?

- Dad.
- Call 911.

- What?
- Call 911 and ask for an ambulance!
