THE LEGEND OF KITCHEN SOLDIER

SYSTEM OVERLOAD
SHUTTING DOWN SYSTEM

Where am I?

No way.

EPISODE 4

BASED ON THE WEBTOON SERIES THE LEGEND
OF KITCHEN SOLDIER BY ROBIN J, JIN-SU LEE

You're here.

- Dad.
- Oh, son.

It's been a while.

Oh, my.

I thought you were all grown up,
going to the military.

My goodness.

Dad.

How's military life treating you?

I don't even know
how I get through each day.

It's just that...

there's never a quiet day.

Is this how it's supposed to be?

Well, it's tough when you're doing
something you've never done before.

Do you remember that one time?

I asked you to add some salt

and you put in a ton of sugar
and ruined all the food.

Did I do that?

You'd make the ramyun all watery, too.

And now you're a cook. My goodness.

I can handle that much now.

Right.

At least I don't have to worry
about you starving somewhere.

I still have a long way to go
to be like you, Dad.

How did you get up so early every day

to prep, cook, and clean the kitchen?

Now that I've tried it myself

it's truly amazing.

The thing about cooking...

If you think of it as a chore

it becomes an endless chore.

But when you see the happy faces
of people eating your food

all those thoughts just disappear.

Yeah, that feeling is
what keeps you going.

Dad.

I'm sorry.

Every time I cook a meal...

I think about how you worked
so hard your whole life

and it just hits me.

My son has really grown up.

I can tell by how many things
you feel sorry about. My goodness.

Son, if you only rely on your skill

and overuse it, you won't improve.

You knew all along?

Getting cut by knives,
burning your hands...

Carve those lessons onto your body

to become a true chef. Understand?

Slurp down this bowl.

And...

promise me you'll never
come back here again.

What do you mean?

Why shouldn't I come back?

You punk. If you stay here

what about your mom and Eun-jae,
who are waiting for you?

You need to finish your quest
and live a better life than I did.

Then...

I'll try my best to live
just like you, Dad.

There's no time.

Hurry and drink.

Hero.

You have consumed
the Seaweed Soup of Resurrection.

Would you like to reconnect?

WOULD YOU LIKE TO RECONNECT?

STAMINA

Stamina has been fully recharged.

Stamina?

- Who's this guy?
- He's from the Ganglim Outpost.

Well... they say he collapsed

- while cooking, sir.
- Okay.

Ah, crap. I'm out of hearts.

Send me some hearts later.

Yes, sir.

- Kang Seong-jae?
- Private Kang Seong-jae.

Does he have a fever?

No, sir.

Do you have any preexisting conditions?

No, sir. I even got a
top grade on my physical.

Oh, really?

Everyone gets top grade,
even if they're sick.

So what, you just suddenly collapsed?

There must be a reason, right?

Well...

Warning. Stamina is low.

If you do not rest immediately

the system will shut down.

- Oh, stamina...
- What?

It says I'm low on stamina.

Stamina?

Damn it.

Hey, I'm always low on that
because of guys like you.

Why is everyone from Ganglim like this?

Hey.

If you're going to slack off, at least...

Never mind. Good job. Very good.

Hey, send one of those hearts
to this guy too.

Okay? So he can go
with his stamina fully charged.

- Yes, sir.
- Get some good rest.

Jeez...

For a dream...

it felt incredibly real.

Wait, Cho Ye-rin!

Hey, long time no see.

Hey I heard you're at Ganglim.

That's rough.

One of your guys is here.
Did you come to see him?

Yes. How is he doing?

What do you think?

He's fine, but he collapsed for no reason.

He's just faking it.

If you ask me

the vibe at Ganglim is just bad.

I see army doctors practice
feng shui these days.

I thought it had perfect feng shui.

Must be nice.

Then you can live there
happily ever after.

Later.

- Salute!
- So raising my level

boosts stamina?

So, as a noob

I keep my head down
and grind for Experience Points?

I've still got a long way to go.

This is...

Sa... salute!

What were you doing?

Oh, well...

I thought I saw a fly
buzzing around, ma'am.

A fly's been buzzing around for a while.

They're bad to have in the hospital.

For hygiene and all that.

Gosh, this thing. Yes.

COUNSELING OFFICE

Are you really okay?

Yes, I'm really fine, ma'am.

I should have taken better care of myself.

I apologize.

Well, that's a relief...

But I was worried
you were pushing through the pain.

It's not because I'm sick or anything.

I suppose...

since the high-ranking officers
were coming

I felt pressured to do well.

I pushed myself to try
and make it extra delicious...

but I guess I overdid it.

You sure did.

Everyone was making such a fuss,
asking if a private should do that.

I'm sorry.

Kang Seong-jae.

Everyone's going crazy
asking what on earth the recipe is.

It's a humble meal.

I hope it's to the congressman's liking.

Our soldiers work so hard.

Instead of this...

a bit more hearty meal

like a whole chicken soup
would've been nice.

You've come a long way to see
what our military's meals are like.

So rather than a special dish
they rarely get to eat

I thought it was right to serve you

what our soldiers normally have.

Still, with guests here,
you could've been more flexible.

You little...

Please, enjoy.

Sure.

Thank you.

- Please, dig in.
- Enjoy your meal.

Man, I can't watch this anymore.

It's...

It's...

Congressman, are you all right?

It's a thief!

It's a thief!

WANTED NOTICE

The suspect is wanted for theft.

Over there!

Let's go, run!

Finally caught you

you thief!

I can't stop eating this white rice.

This dish is the real culprit.

A rice thief!

I guess you need to act like that
to get elected.

I almost bought his act.

He's such a pro at his eating show.

The way his eyes lit up...

The way you put it, Congressman

now I'm curious too.

Hey, you scoundrel!

Stop right there!

Stop! Give that back!

Stop right there!

Is it because the rice is so good?

I can't stop eating.

Is this Koshihikari or something?

Or maybe Icheon rice?

The rice is just the standard-issue
military kind.

Then this must be the culprit!

This braised pollack!

I agree.

It's my first time trying this
braised boneless pollack

and it's divine.

Hey! Can we get more rice?

Rice!

- Rice, rice, rice, rice.
- Rice, rice, rice, rice.

What the hell are you doing?
We're swamped.

Hey, Kang Seong-jae.

Kang Seong-jae!

BREAKING NEWS

GETTING HIS FOURTH REFILL OF RICE
CONGRESSMAN KANG HONG-BEOM

CHOMP, CHOMP

YOU CHECKED THE MEAL CONTROVERSY, RIGHT?

MORE

ALL THAT WITH JUST BRAISED POLLACK?
HE CHOSE TO EAT THE SOLDIERS' FOOD...

IF THE POLLACK MAKES HIM EAT
LIKE THAT, I'M CURIOUS...

Certificate of Commendation.
By improving the meals

This soldier has raised

the image of army meals

and boosted troop morale.

He is presented with this award.

Kim In-tae, 29th Division Commander.

Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun!

Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun,
seeing you work this hard to the end,

The other soldiers should definitely
follow your example.

My military service isn't over

till it's over.

Is that so? In that case,
I'll put you up for the NCO course

so how about you give it some thought?

You're too talented for us
to let you get discharged.

Private Kang Seong-jae!

Private Kang Seong-jae did well.

That rice thief... I mean...

Just thinking about that braised boneless
pollack is mouth-watering.

Fresh, frozen, and dried pollack.

Like a pollack, whose name changes
depending on how it's prepared

it can become a delicious dish

depending on whose hands cook it.

You've shown that clearly.

Private Kang Seong-jae!

Until the day there are no more leftovers

I will provide only delicious food
to my comrades.

These soldiers will be awarded
a four-night, five-day leave.

- Attention! Salute!
- Salute!

Salute!

You didn't serve a special meal,
but the regular menu the soldiers eat.

I must say, that was a brilliant move.

Was this Kang Seong-jae's idea too?

- Private Kang Seong-jae.
- I'd say it was a team effort

from our Ganglim Outpost.

This really doesn't seem
like the Company Commander's plan.

This bold approach is more
the Outpost Commander's style, no?

No, sir.

Private Kang suggested that
to approach it with sincerity

we tackle it head-on with a menu

infamous among those who've served.

Why don't we just tackle this head-on?

It's not like we can get our hands
on chicken right now...

Wouldn't this seem more sincere, in a way?

First Lieutenant Cho, I was worried
about your transfer to Ganglim

but it's a relief to see
you're doing better than expected.

You're starting to show some
real leadership qualities.

- Thank you, sir.
- Of course.

Before that, there is something
I'd like to propose.

By all means.

I think the problem with the meals is
not the soldiers who cook

but lies within the supply chain process.

Rather than inspecting
the state of the meals

we need to investigate

the supplier's food deliveries.

Are you suggesting a problem with the
supplier, who was properly selected?

Well...

The eggs that were
delivered just yesterday

were all spoiled.

What?

Spoiled eggs were delivered?

Master Sergeant, did you know about this?

No, sir. This is the first
I'm hearing of it.

Private Kang Seong-jae

you should've told the Company Commander.

What if this had been discovered
when the congressman was visiting?

I'll look into this matter
and make sure it's resolved

so the Company Commander
and the Master Sergeant

need to inspect everything thoroughly

so this never happens again.

- Yes, sir.
- How can you be so confident

when you didn't know? What nerve.

The men must have had a tough time.

Arrange a company dinner for them.

- A company dinner might be...
- Battalion Commander.

I'll get the dinner arranged right away.

Good.

I can't remember the last time
we had a company dinner.

We never had anything
good happen in Ganglim.

Here, take this too.

Well, look what we have here.

This is the one everyone said
was too tacky to use.

Hey.

This is brand new. You want it?

- Yes, sir.
- Go on, take it.

- Thank you.
- It's finally found its owner.

Let's go.

ITEM

You have acquired an item.

ITEM

When using the Rose-Knife item

your cooking grade increases
by half a star.

ROSE-KNIFE A-RANK
COOKING GRADE INCREASE

Hey! Hey!

This isn't the time to be all happy
just because you got a Rose-Knife.

Still, a company dinner is
a good thing, isn't it?

It's great.

For everyone but us. Get it?

Hey.

Hurry up! What are you two doing?

We're coming!

- Hurry up.
- Yes, sir!

- Man...
- Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun.

Can you bring some more meat?

The Battalion Commander
is running out of meat.

Yes, sir. Right away.

Kang Seong-jae, set these plates out.

Yes, sir.

Give that here.

Good grief, would you look
at this rotten punk?

I told you to grill the meat,
not turn it into charcoal.

Just get out of the way.

Good lord.

You raised such a stink about
not getting enough meat

and now there won't be any left
at this rate, you punk!

It's a charcoal fire,
so the heat's hard to control, sir.

Get it off the grill!

Meat, meat, meat, meat.

Hey, why is a cook struggling
to grill a piece of meat?

Resting.

It's called resting.
You lock in the juices

so they explode, like "bam"!

- Yes, sir.
- All this smoke is ridiculous.

You're a Sergeant, and you can't
even grill meat properly.

I'm very disappointed.

Grill a new batch, now.

- Gosh, the smoke.
- All that experience for nothing.

Resting, my foot.

The only "interesting" thing here is
that you're a Company Commander.

Let's just think about my leave
and bear with it.

You call this a company dinner?

It's the Battalion Commander's
personal barbecue.

As soon as the meat's cooked,
it goes straight to his table.

Over food, of all things.

So damn petty.

Hey!

- Private Kang Seong-jae.
- What are we, herbivores?

Are we supposed to graze on grass?

I'm sorry. But whenever I cook some,
the Company Commander takes it.

Then you go tell him
to stop stuffing his face.

Current soldiers' company dinner
satisfaction level is 35%.

Are you okay?

When feeling low, go for barbecue!

Grill pork belly to raise

the company dinner
satisfaction level to 80%.

You'll gain Experience Points
if you succeed.

But failure will lead to a random debuff.

Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun,
please go take a breather.

I'll take over grilling.

See? Who is this dinner even for?

So stop giving them excuses
to throw these feasts.

- Got it?
- Yes, sir.

You have equipped the tongs item.

ORDINARY TONGS
C-RANK

Well, I'll be. Seong-jae knows
his way around a grill, doesn't he?

He's flipping 'em with perfect timing.

You know what I mean?

Meat's no good if you keep
fussin' and flippin' it too much.

You gotta do it just right.

Just right, you know?

- Yes, sir.
- Give it here.

The fire's dying down.

Then I can grill perfectly
when the heat's like this.

It was too hot earlier.

Hope you're eating while you're at it.

Want me to help?

Private Kang Seong-jae. No, ma'am.

It's nice to see everyone having fun.

What's nice about it?

On the weekend, other soldiers get to rest

but after this, when are we supposed
to clean up

and get some rest?

Hey, Outpost Commander.

- Yes, sir.
- Come over and eat with us.

Yes, sir. I'll be right there.

Just hang in there.

- I'm taking this.
- Yes, ma'am.

I just need to get through this.

My leave is coming up.

All right, Kang Seong-jae.

Oh, this piece right here.

This balance of fat and lean meat...

it's gotta be good ol' domestic pork.

Master Sergeant.

It's Ibérico.

You know what that is, right?

- Oh, yes.
- Pigs from the Iberian Peninsula in Spain

raised on acorns.

Hey, Company Commander.

Just eat. Does it really matter?

What's important is that
we're all eating together like this.

Like I care where it's from.

Meat is meat once it's in your mouth.

Battalion Commander.

I made this with love.

Say "ah," sir.

Whoa there.

I don't accept love from other fellas.

Hey, Lee Min-gu.

Come over here.

- Salute!
- Salute.

That grilling meat smells incredible.

- Here, have a seat.
- Yes, sir.

He should join us
on a day like today. That's okay, right?

Of course, sir. Why wouldn't it be okay?

We're all one big family
in this battalion.

Battalion Commander.

I make a mean lettuce wrap.

Oh, yeah?

All right, let's see what you've got.

Okay, prepare to be amazed.

Battalion Commander.

The fat isn't just chewy,
it's firm and springy.

And the rich, savory flavor

fills my mouth with every chew.

Look at that.

The big shots
always have the biggest reactions.

It's just meat, for crying out loud.

With these pickled greens...

I should try some too.

Oh my gosh!

This is a total flavor bomb.

It's throwing a whole party in my mouth.

What a performance.

Making a scene over one piece of meat.

It's just meat...

I mean, why...

This dinner is for the soldiers.

Shouldn't we head out?

Is it that late already?

Right, let's head out.

Let's give the soldiers their time.

But everyone's having such a good time.

- What's the problem?
- Is this a proper dinner for them?

The cooks haven't had a single bite
and are stuck just grilling.

Well, since it's a shame to leave

How about we get a drink after, just us?

I'd love that.

I have to do a gear inspection

so I don't think I can make it.

Oh, come on.

When else will we get a chance
to talk over a drink?

- Yes, sir.
- Good.

- Let's clean up.
- Yes, sir.

You have successfully achieved
Company Dinner Satisfaction.

YOUR BEGINNER COOK LEVEL
HAS INCREASED

Level up.

The meal was great, thanks to you.

Your grilling skills are no joke.

Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun!

It was a great honor to grill
for the Battalion Commander...

Private Kang Seong-jae.

Private Kang Seong-jae!

Can I look forward to this
again next time?

I'll do my best
to live up to your expectations.

All right. Let's go.

At this rate, the Battalion Commander
is going to come here for every meal.

He was absolutely beaming.

At this rate, won't Kang Seong-jae
get poached for the Officers' Mess?

What's different about the Officers' Mess?

Dude, it's totally different.

The cooks all have certifications

and since it's for the top brass,
the ingredients are super fresh.

It's a whole...

But...

I hear it's incredibly tough.

Yeah, those dinners happen daily

so they work till dawn. It's brutal.

You get no sleep at all.

Yeah.

You have acquired the new keyword.

Officers' Mess.

Hey.

Hey!

Private Kang Seong-jae.

Looks like you're getting ambitious
after a little praise

but they don't take guys like us.

Snap out of it!

Even the carrots are pretty here,
Battalion Commander.

This is kkanpung abalone

made with premium abalone
in kkanpung sauce.

- Enjoy your meal. Salute!
- Salute!00:31:23:16

All right, everyone, dig in.

This one...

I picked out the plumpest one myself.

Here you go.

Where did it go?

The abalone in my mouth...

It just disappeared, Battalion Commander.

Have you ever heard of that guy,
Lee Ho-young?

The Ponte di Maestro Young Chef.

A prodigy named one of Asia's Top Ten.

Of course. Pongttedi Me...

Yeah, it's famous. Pongttedi.

With a chef like that cooking for me

my standards are getting too high.

How am I supposed to go back
to eating home-cooked food?

Let me pour you a drink,
Battalion Commander.

Here.

Outpost Commander, have a drink.

Thank you.

Battalion HQ isn't the same
without our First Lieutenant Cho.

You were a bit inexperienced at first

but even then,
you had so much fighting spirit.

Was I really?

What's your take, Company Commander?

Now that you've worked with her.

Well, she still has a lot to learn

so I've been training her diligently.

What's so funny all of a sudden?

It's just...

I was wondering who's teaching who.

You know about him, right,
Outpost Commander?

Our Company Commander was a legend
at the Military Academy.

He barely got in

- and finished last.
- Min-gu.

He was something else, in many ways.

Why bring up ancient history, Min-gu?

He's always like this,
Battalion Commander.

He's still stuck in the past.

He's right. Does that really matter?

Our Company Commander
is doing a great job.

The 4th Company's Ganglim Outpost

is the hottest topic now, right?

Oh, is that right?

Thank you, Battalion Commander.

You know, in all my years
in the military...

Who'd have thought the mess hall food
would put us in the spotlight?

So, on that note...

I want to bring Private Kang Seong-jae
to the Officers' Mess.

He's still a bit rough around the edges.

But he can learn from his superiors
here and fill in the gaps.

But the Officers' Mess...

It's not a place you bring anyone, is it?

He impressed high-ranking commanders

and even the local congressman.

What more does he have to do
to prove himself?

If that's what you truly want,
Battalion Commander

- I'll transfer Kang Seong-jae...
- No, sir.

Hey, Cho Ye-rin.

- You're interrupting the Commander...
- It's fine.

Let's hear what the Outpost
Commander has to say.

Private Kang Seong-jae
has been working on improving

the Ganglim enlisted mess hall,
which was full of problems.

But moving him to the Officers' Mess

shows little consideration
for the soldiers at the outpost.

I just want Private Kang Seong-jae
to be in a more flexible

and better environment
where he can learn more.

And if you're not satisfied with him...

where will you send him next?

Hey.

If you're that drunk, go sleep it off.

We didn't give you a voice
just for you to forget your place.

No, it's okay.

If she can't vent now, when will she?

Outpost Commander,
it's been tough for you, hasn't it?

I heard you relied on Major Im a lot.

He may have been a good person to you

but the very thought of him makes us sick.

Because of that bastard,
several people nearly died.

You used him all you could,
calling him a legendary top graduate

You all pretended not to know him,
afraid you'd get burned too, right?

- Hey, Cho Ye-rin!
- My transfer to the outpost

can only be explained
by my closeness to Major Im.

Hey, let's go.

Sit down.

Excuse me, I'm going to the restroom.

I apologize, Battalion Commander.

Officers who are about to be discharged...

tend to get reckless.

Are you upset?

It's just...

It's because I really want
to do a good job.

No one can be perfect from the start.

But weren't you...

perfect from the start?

No, I was a total disaster.

But...

if you truly trust yourself
and the people around you...

the results will naturally follow.

Easier said than done.

You sound like Bob Ross or something.

In time, you'll understand what I mean.

Trusting someone isn't easy, you know.

It takes a lot of courage.

Ye-rin, I hope you never lose
that courage to trust people...

until the very end.

You thought you'd feel better
after saying your piece

but I guess you still have more.

Get your act together.

Do you think this is the same
as some office job?

Sure, you might be here
to just play soldier for a bit

but for the rest of us,
our livelihoods are on the line.

Please, try to read the room.

Stop.

Stop.

All clear!

Hey, Dong-hyun.

You're sure full of energy today.

At this rate, I could take on
the Special Forces!

What's got our soldier boy
in such a good mood?

I'm finally going on leave!

Hey, that's great.

I was wondering
when you'd finally get to go.

Yoon Dong-hyun's finally on leave...
what a day.

At this rate, I'll be discharged
before I know it.

Once you're back from leave,
you'll be almost finished.

Sir, this guy here...

He keeps earning me commendation days
ever since he got here.

My luck with new guys came too late.

What a shame.

Hurry up and take them.

Whoa.

The potatoes are in very poor condition.

This may mean deductions in cooking.

Please be advised.

Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun.

These potatoes have sprouted.

Should we accept them like this?

Come on, just cut that part out.
It won't kill you.

If we sweat the small stuff,
it just makes things harder for us.

Is leaving out some onions
really going to make a difference?

Oh no, it fell.

What, is there a problem?

The rations are in poor condition, sir.

It's fine, okay?

You know how it is.

It's from all the rain this summer.

It's fine. I checked everything.

Even people go crazy in the summer.
We have to be understanding.

It's fine. Okay?

Salute!

Still, if there's a problem,
we need to fix it.

Why are you doing the inspection
instead of the Master Sergeant?

Are enlisted soldiers supposed
to do the inspection?

Well, normally a superior is supposed
to be here with us.

It says here each box should weigh 10kg...

Is that right?

I don't think so.

Hey, why are you being so difficult
all of a sudden?

Sir! If the supplier changed

shouldn't the quality
of the ration be better?

Hey, I worked my butt off
to meet your budget, okay?

I've been working my tail off
since dawn without any sleep.

We're not running a restaurant here.

What's the big deal?

This won't do.
I was going to let it slide.

But I will be reporting this
to my superiors.

What, you're going to report this?

Fine, do whatever you want! Damn it.

Hey, get out of the way! Take the picture.

RATION RECEIPT INSPECTION SHEET

The inspections haven't been
at all logged recently.

The Master Sergeant or Deputy
Outpost Commander should check it.

But they couldn't care less.

Then you should have told me.

I'm sorry.

- Yoon Dong-hyun.
- Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun.

I know you're excited about your award
and your final leave

but let's stick to the basics.

- Yes, ma'am.
- Kang Seong-jae.

Private Kang Seong-jae.

If you wanted this job so badly,
then see it through to the end.

Don't cut corners
and try to muddle through.

Yes, I understand.

LIKEABILITY

LIKEABILITY 10%

- Salute!
- Salute!

I don't know why our Outpost Commander
makes things so difficult.

Honestly, aren't we both just waiting
to get out of here?

Still, the state of the ingredients today

really crossed a line.

What good is calling it out now?
You saw what happened before, right?

Our Company Commander only cares
about the egg for his own ramyun

he doesn't give a damn about the eggs
rotting away in the fridge.

So what's the bottom line? Never forget.

Our true enemy...

is the officers.

GOLDEN WAGON

This is the outpost situation room.

The Golden Wagon has now arrived.

I repeat, the Golden Wagon
has now arrived.

Oh, come on. Make some sense.

You obviously bet on Liverpool.

Why would you bet on Manchester United?

You were totally blinded by the payout.

Man, that's why you always
lose all your money.

Whatever, I'm hanging up.

I need to sell a lot this time...

All right. Bye.

Open for business!

What?

These guys usually go nuts
when the Golden Wagon arrives.

Why is it so quiet?

VIGILANCE IS OUR MISSION

Yeah?

One shampoo, please.

Is that all?

Really?

Do I have to buy more?

Hey, kid, you go crazy for
chocolate cookies and potato chips.

I'm not in the mood today.

- Here.
- Thank you.

What's with these guys acting so weird?

I won't even make enough to cover gas.

Ko Tae-seok.

- Get me some smokes.
- Sergeant.

Yeah, and put the cost on the...

- you know, the tab.
- Sure.

But it feels like
there isn't a soul at the outpsot.

Did something happen?

Happen?

What's there to happen?

Business is slow, so Ko Tae-seok here
is getting all worked up.

Ganglim is my biggest gold mine,
that's why I'm asking.

For the past few months,
sales here have been really sweet.

That's not going to happen for a while.

Huh? What?

Try the mess hall if you're curious.

The mess hall?

It's really delicious, isn't it?

If there's any food left,
give him a plate.

Yes, right away.

- Go on, eat up.
- Yes, sir.

Enjoy your meal.

Jeez.

This is just regular old army food.

And they're acting like
this is going to ruin my business.

What a joke.

You used the Rose-Knife item.

A bonus half-star has been added.

ACORN JELLY SALAD
THE CHEWY TEXTURE IS ON POINT!

PORK SPINE POTATO STEW
IT'S GOT A NICE KICK!

GANGLIM UTD, FC GOLDEN WAGON

He's going. He keeps going.

He's not stopping.

Yes, Ko Tae-seok is fantastic.

He's leaving all defenders behind.

Now it's one-on-one with the goalie.

And now he shoots!

What is this?

He's absolutely helpless

against the pork backbone.

Look at his form.

How high can his leg go?

A scorpion kick?

With a ridiculous angle

Ko Tae-seok prepares his special move.

No matter how good it is,
it's just army food!

And he shoots!

Will it find the back of the net?

- Will it?
- Will it?

He takes the shot!

Will it go in?

In the end,
he can't get past the acorn jelly.

GANGLIM 1 - 0 GOLDEN WAGON

It totally kills any desire to snack.

It was an excellent meal.

What in the world

have you been doing to my pigs!

When they see your slop bucket

they act like they've been starved.

They just go absolutely wild for it.

This means...

you must have put something in the food.

That's why the little fellas...

are going nuts.

Level up!

Good morning.

- Good morning.
- What the...

- Good morning.
- Why did I...

sleep so well?

DAILY QUEST: SLICING CARROTS 10/10
REWARD: 100 EXPERIENCE POINTS

You have completed the daily quest.

Hey, you busy?

What do you mean, "why"?
Dude, Yoon Dong-hyun is back!

I'm going on leave,
so clear your schedule.

Yeah.

You have an exam coming up?

Right. Okay, I get it.

All right.

Bye.

Hey, where are you? It's Dong-hyun.

Hey, I'm going on leave next week.

We've gotta celebrate, right?

Oh, you have a date with your girlfriend.

Yeah. Got it.

I'll call you. Okay.

Okay, bye.

Hi, Mom.

I'm going on leave next week.

Yeah.

You're going on a trip to Europe.

Right.

Yeah, got it. Okay.

Yeah, I'll call you. Okay.

Looks like they've gotten much closer
while I've been away.

I'm used to the Outpost Commander
acting like that.

Day in and day out,
it's "inspection, inspection."

"How old are the onions?"

"Have the potatoes sprouted or not?"

She's a total critic.
A professional critic.

What's the point of good ingredients

if Dong-hyun gets his hands on them?

- It becomes worse than dog food.
- Hey.

Hey, don't go poking the bear.
He's almost done.

Once Yoon Dong-hyun is on leave

Kang Seong-jae will take over.

Would Dong-hyun even know
what to tell Seong-jae to do?

I mean, honestly,
about that reward leave he got...

Didn't he get it all by riding
the New Recruit's coattails?

That's enough.

But isn't it strange?

Ever since Kang Seong-jae got here

the whole vibe at the outpost
has somehow changed.

Maybe it's because our food
has gotten better, don't you think?

It's true. Better food on the table
definitely improves the mood.

- You can say that again.
- Oh, that Kang Seong-jae.

Yoon Dong-hyun is such a leech.

Way to go, Kang Seong-jae!

Jeez, Yoon Dong-hyun
always leeching off him like that.

Daily Quest has been completed.

Acquiring Experience Points.

Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun,
I can finish that.

I got it.

I'll finish it in a second.

I said I'll do it!

Kang Seong-jae.

Company Commander is looking for you.

Hey, you just walk in
without saluting now?

Salute.

I'm here to get Seong-jae.

The Armed Forces TV
wants to do an interview.

What? From Armed Forces TV?

Well, look at the war hero.

Hurry up and go, kid.

I'll be back.

Because of all the visitors
for Kang Seong-jae

I can't get any rest, damn it.

Aren't we just playing second fiddle

at the Kang Seong-jae festival?

Just think of it as part of our duty.

Don't get twisted up and complain.

- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.

- Do it properly.
- Yes, sir.

What's with Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun?

He'd been all smiles about his leave.

I'm not really sure.

How can you not know?

If a mess hall mood carries over

don't you know it makes things hard
for the rest of us?

I know.

Kang Seong-jae!

You've lost so much weight.

Are you okay?

Are you having a tough time?

Goddamn...

SPECIAL THANKS TO
PARK MYUNG-HOON FOR HIS APPEARANCE

THE LEGEND OF KITCHEN SOLDIER

Reporting! I'm on my first leave,
effective today.

- You've worked hard.
- But...

aren't there too few customers?

You have left the designated
military area.

Skill usage is restricted.

The wait is at least two hours here.

You will now begin eating.

- Let's eat!
- Let's eat!

How is the flavor so deep?

I'll prove the mess hall runs fine
without Kang Seong-jae.

I would like to learn from you.

Can you really do whatever it takes?
