00:00:39,003 --> 00:00:41,965
THE LEGEND OF KITCHEN SOLDIER

2
00:00:55,346 --> 00:00:58,307
It feels so strange
now that it's time to leave.

3
00:00:58,891 --> 00:01:01,060
Corporal Joo Sang-uk,
you have to keep in touch.

4
00:01:01,143 --> 00:01:03,813
It's not like I'm going far.
We'll probably run into each other.

5
00:01:04,230 --> 00:01:06,357
And you better not ignore me,
treating me like some old man.

6
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,858
An old man?

7
00:01:09,777 --> 00:01:11,612
- Barracks 1, at ease!
- Salute!

8
00:01:11,696 --> 00:01:13,447
Yes, I got it. Is all your stuff packed?

9
00:01:13,531 --> 00:01:14,615
- Yes, we're all set.
- Yes, sir.

10
00:01:14,699 --> 00:01:17,743
- The transport's here, so let's go.
- Yes, sir.

11
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:30,089
I wonder if Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun
and Seong-jae are doing okay.

12
00:01:31,090 --> 00:01:32,550
I'm not sure about Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun

13
00:01:32,633 --> 00:01:34,051
but I'm sure Seong-jae is doing just fine.

14
00:01:34,135 --> 00:01:36,470
Right? He'll do great.

15
00:01:37,555 --> 00:01:39,390
- Let's go.
- Let's go.

16
00:01:51,193 --> 00:01:56,073
BARRACKS 1, KANG SEONG-JAE

17
00:01:56,157 --> 00:01:58,743
BARRACKS 1

18
00:02:02,997 --> 00:02:07,460
A HEARTY MEAL IS THE START OF CAMARADERIE

19
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:12,340
FOOD WASTE TRAFFIC LIGHT

20
00:02:12,423 --> 00:02:16,052
<i>And Ganglim Outpost,</i>
<i>4th Company, 1st Battalion is</i>

21
00:02:16,135 --> 00:02:18,471
<i>tied for first place! Congratulations!</i>

22
00:02:19,388 --> 00:02:21,724
- My goodness.
- What?

23
00:02:21,807 --> 00:02:26,062
- We won! We did it!
- Yes!

24
00:02:29,857 --> 00:02:30,858
We did it!

25
00:02:30,941 --> 00:02:31,942
GANGLIM OUTPOST SHUTDOWN

26
00:02:32,026 --> 00:02:35,154
<i>So why isn't the Quest complete?</i>

27
00:02:38,449 --> 00:02:42,453
It was an incredibly difficult decision.

28
00:02:43,204 --> 00:02:45,039
Both teams presented wonderful dishes

29
00:02:45,122 --> 00:02:47,875
and while the Officers' Mess's score
was slightly higher

30
00:02:47,958 --> 00:02:50,127
because it was more suitable
for military meals

31
00:02:50,711 --> 00:02:52,421
the Ganglim Outpost received bonus points

32
00:02:52,505 --> 00:02:54,256
resulting in a tie between the two teams.

33
00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:57,093
So, after a discussion among the judges

34
00:02:57,677 --> 00:03:00,638
we've decided to hold
a final one-on-one showdown

35
00:03:00,721 --> 00:03:04,350
to determine the ultimate winner.

36
00:03:10,981 --> 00:03:15,528
<i>Hero.</i>
<i>You have failed to complete the Quest.</i>

37
00:03:20,783 --> 00:03:24,120
<i>All skills and recipes will disappear.</i>

38
00:03:26,497 --> 00:03:29,875
<i>The Chef's Path will now end.</i>

39
00:03:31,043 --> 00:03:32,461
Since it's a tie for first place

40
00:03:32,545 --> 00:03:33,671
it looks like we'll have one more round.

41
00:03:33,754 --> 00:03:37,383
But hey, what does it matter? Who are we?

42
00:03:37,925 --> 00:03:39,635
- We're Ganglim, aren't we?
- Ganglim Outpost!

43
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:41,554
Let's take this all the way
and win the whole thing!

44
00:03:41,637 --> 00:03:42,638
- Are you okay?
- Yes, I'm fine.

45
00:03:42,805 --> 00:03:43,806
- You're not hurt, right?
- No.

46
00:03:43,889 --> 00:03:46,434
All right, this competition isn't
a team battle. It's an individual one.

47
00:03:46,809 --> 00:03:48,436
A one-on-one showdown.

48
00:03:48,519 --> 00:03:49,520
What?

49
00:03:56,736 --> 00:03:59,071
One representative soldier from each team

50
00:03:59,155 --> 00:04:02,783
- will have 50 minutes to complete a dish.
- A representative?

51
00:04:06,328 --> 00:04:08,164
Seong-jae, get ready. You got this!

52
00:04:08,247 --> 00:04:09,582
Let's make sure we win this time.

53
00:04:09,665 --> 00:04:11,333
- Representatives.
- Show them what you got.

54
00:04:11,417 --> 00:04:12,543
Please step forward!

55
00:04:14,086 --> 00:04:16,130
Come on, walk tall. Go!

56
00:04:19,592 --> 00:04:22,094
FINAL EPISODE

57
00:04:24,138 --> 00:04:25,473
Private First Class Kang Seong-jae.

58
00:04:25,556 --> 00:04:28,142
That was a dramatic tie.
How are you feeling right now?

59
00:04:35,357 --> 00:04:36,817
Private First Class Kang Seong-jae?

60
00:04:39,737 --> 00:04:41,030
Hey, what's with him?

61
00:04:41,113 --> 00:04:44,074
I know. He suddenly zoned out.

62
00:04:46,410 --> 00:04:47,912
Private First Class Kang Seong-jae.

63
00:04:50,039 --> 00:04:54,335
- Private First Class Kang Seong-jae.
- How are you feeling right now?

64
00:04:54,418 --> 00:04:55,628
Well...

65
00:04:57,630 --> 00:04:59,006
The thing is...

66
00:05:00,883 --> 00:05:04,428
I think I need to think a little more
about what would be good to make.

67
00:05:05,137 --> 00:05:07,807
Oh, okay. I understand.

68
00:05:08,933 --> 00:05:12,561
- Corporal Lee Ho-yeong.
- Corporal Lee Ho-yeong.

69
00:05:13,062 --> 00:05:14,605
Did you anticipate a rematch?

70
00:05:16,524 --> 00:05:18,067
I made a few small mistakes

71
00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:20,402
so I don't think
I was able to perform at 100%.

72
00:05:21,028 --> 00:05:22,655
I'll focus more on the individual match

73
00:05:22,738 --> 00:05:24,156
and ensure that I come out the winner.

74
00:05:24,698 --> 00:05:28,577
It seems the defending champion
is left with some regrets, as expected.

75
00:05:28,661 --> 00:05:31,163
Okay, then, we will now announce
the mission for the tiebreaker.

76
00:05:31,705 --> 00:05:32,832
This mission

77
00:05:32,915 --> 00:05:35,334
is to develop a new special meal.

78
00:05:35,417 --> 00:05:39,380
This time, with no budget limit,
you are to create one special meal.

79
00:05:39,463 --> 00:05:43,050
My mouth is already watering
thinking about what dishes we'll see.

80
00:05:43,634 --> 00:05:45,761
We'll take a short break to get set up

81
00:05:45,845 --> 00:05:47,847
then we'll start
the competition right away.

82
00:06:07,241 --> 00:06:08,826
<i>Every day, as I'd follow the status window</i>

83
00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:12,371
<i>complete Quests, gain Experience Points</i>

84
00:06:13,205 --> 00:06:14,456
<i>and level up.</i>

85
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:17,376
<i>For the first time, I felt certain</i>
<i>I could actually accomplish something.</i>

86
00:06:18,961 --> 00:06:22,006
<i>Stir-fry the beef with sesame oil.</i>

87
00:06:23,215 --> 00:06:26,552
<i>Use vinegar to eliminate the odor</i>
<i>from the old rice.</i>

88
00:06:26,635 --> 00:06:28,679
<i>Add water to lower the salinity.</i>

89
00:06:28,762 --> 00:06:31,640
<i>Add Cheongyang chili peppers</i>
<i>for some kick.</i>

90
00:06:35,644 --> 00:06:37,521
<i>When using the Rose-Knife item</i>

91
00:06:37,605 --> 00:06:40,566
<i>your cooking grade increases</i>
<i>by half a star.</i>

92
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,239
<i>Perfectly grilled pork belly. Three stars.</i>

93
00:06:47,323 --> 00:06:50,826
<i>What can I do without my status window?</i>

94
00:06:55,414 --> 00:06:58,876
<i>Whether it's cooking</i>
<i>or standing guard at the Outpost...</i>

95
00:07:00,544 --> 00:07:03,756
<i>Right now, I can't do anything.</i>

96
00:07:16,268 --> 00:07:18,938
Seong-jae, are you okay?
What's with you all of a sudden?

97
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,650
- It's nothing.
- Come on.

98
00:07:22,733 --> 00:07:24,985
Hey. Tying for first is
a huge accomplishment.

99
00:07:25,069 --> 00:07:26,820
We gave it our all, right?

100
00:07:28,405 --> 00:07:29,406
But...

101
00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:34,578
- I feel it's all meaningless now.
- Hey, Kang Seong-jae.

102
00:07:36,330 --> 00:07:38,999
What, you think it's all over?
It's not over.

103
00:07:39,667 --> 00:07:41,251
- Just start over, that's all.
- He's right.

104
00:07:41,335 --> 00:07:44,004
Let's plan the menu again.
Since it's a special meal

105
00:07:44,088 --> 00:07:45,339
what about something
like ginseng chicken soup?

106
00:07:45,422 --> 00:07:48,300
That sounds great.
What about grilled eel over rice?

107
00:07:48,384 --> 00:07:49,551
We could really bring out
that smoky flavor.

108
00:07:49,927 --> 00:07:51,220
Smoky sounds good. Hey, what about

109
00:07:51,303 --> 00:07:52,805
that smoky-flavored chicken
you made before?

110
00:07:53,013 --> 00:07:55,432
Kang Seong-jae.
You got anything you want to make?

111
00:07:59,269 --> 00:08:00,354
Just...

112
00:08:01,438 --> 00:08:03,899
- I just want to do well.
- What?

113
00:08:05,651 --> 00:08:09,279
You're already doing great.
What? All of a sudden...

114
00:08:10,614 --> 00:08:12,116
What's gotten into you?

115
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:14,576
<i>In just a moment, we'll begin</i>
<i>the second round</i>

116
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:16,203
<i>to decide our winning team.</i>

117
00:08:16,286 --> 00:08:18,706
<i>We ask all participating teams to please</i>
<i>make your way to the event area.</i>

118
00:08:19,289 --> 00:08:20,332
Seong-jae.

119
00:08:22,084 --> 00:08:23,919
Don't get hung up on the results.

120
00:08:24,336 --> 00:08:26,171
For this last one, without any regrets

121
00:08:27,089 --> 00:08:28,966
I hope you'll make the dish
you really want to make.

122
00:08:29,550 --> 00:08:32,511
And just trust yourself. You'll be fine.

123
00:08:45,065 --> 00:08:48,485
We have a wide variety of ingredients
prepared for you here.

124
00:08:49,528 --> 00:08:51,488
Choose from the ingredients we have here

125
00:08:51,572 --> 00:08:54,366
and create your own special meal.

126
00:08:55,534 --> 00:09:00,080
We will now begin
the final one-on-one showdown.

127
00:09:30,903 --> 00:09:33,989
- Hey, Kang Seong-jae, let's go!
- Hey, Seong-jae, we're here with you!

128
00:09:43,791 --> 00:09:45,584
<i>My mind is a complete blank.</i>

129
00:09:48,712 --> 00:09:51,090
<i>I have no idea what I should cook.</i>

130
00:09:52,341 --> 00:09:54,510
<i>Can I even cook without the status window?</i>

131
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,347
29TH DIVISION COOKING COMPETITION

132
00:09:58,430 --> 00:10:00,891
Is he going to stare
at the ingredients all day?

133
00:10:01,266 --> 00:10:03,102
Time's really flying by.

134
00:10:03,602 --> 00:10:05,479
It looks like Corporal Lee Ho-yeong

135
00:10:05,562 --> 00:10:07,523
is already set to start cooking.

136
00:10:34,424 --> 00:10:39,221
<i>- Grade A onion from Muan.</i>
<i>- Glossy surface, substantial weight.</i>

137
00:10:39,304 --> 00:10:42,266
<i>And that pungent aroma</i>
<i>that hits your nose.</i>

138
00:10:43,767 --> 00:10:46,019
<i>These are the things I perceived</i>
<i>with my own senses every day.</i>

139
00:10:47,563 --> 00:10:49,314
<i>Even though the status window is gone</i>

140
00:10:49,898 --> 00:10:51,900
<i>I might've known it all along.</i>

141
00:10:56,947 --> 00:11:00,742
<i>A fresh, sweet smell,</i>
<i>just the right firmness</i>

142
00:11:00,826 --> 00:11:02,744
<i>and golden skin.</i>

143
00:11:02,828 --> 00:11:03,871
This is it.

144
00:11:04,872 --> 00:11:08,167
If you press it firmly like this...

145
00:11:08,250 --> 00:11:10,127
See how it springs right back up?

146
00:11:10,210 --> 00:11:12,671
This is the sign of fresh meat.

147
00:11:12,754 --> 00:11:17,134
<i>- Grade S domestic pork.</i>
- Put your nose right up to it.

148
00:11:18,802 --> 00:11:20,470
<i>And give it a good sniff.</i>

149
00:11:20,554 --> 00:11:25,058
You'll smell a savory, nutty aroma,
not a gamey one.

150
00:11:28,061 --> 00:11:29,229
DOMESTIC GRADE C EGGS

151
00:11:29,313 --> 00:11:31,648
<i>Domestic Grade C eggs.</i>

152
00:11:34,443 --> 00:11:36,111
- What are you doing?
- Oh, gosh.

153
00:11:37,196 --> 00:11:40,240
The eggs seemed a bit off,
so I was shaking one.

154
00:11:40,908 --> 00:11:42,951
I think I can hear it sloshing.

155
00:12:00,302 --> 00:12:03,597
<i>What I need isn't some amazing recipe.</i>

156
00:12:04,765 --> 00:12:07,142
<i>What dish do I want to eat most right now?</i>

157
00:12:16,151 --> 00:12:19,029
<i>The knife I've held every day</i>
<i>feels unfamiliar.</i>

158
00:12:20,530 --> 00:12:24,409
<i>It feels unusually heavy,</i>
<i>and the blade feels dull.</i>

159
00:12:25,619 --> 00:12:27,496
<i>This is so different from</i>
<i>just a few minutes ago.</i>

160
00:12:28,163 --> 00:12:29,331
What is he doing?

161
00:12:30,332 --> 00:12:31,792
<i>There are no guidelines.</i>

162
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,505
<i>No dotted lines or angle markers.</i>
<i>I can't see any of them.</i>

163
00:12:36,588 --> 00:12:39,174
Corporal Lee Ho-yeong's
knife skills are savage.

164
00:12:39,258 --> 00:12:42,636
Just look at that speed! He's so fast.

165
00:12:43,220 --> 00:12:44,596
And precise.

166
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:47,349
Corporal Lee Ho-yeong.
You can afford to take it easy.

167
00:12:47,432 --> 00:12:49,351
You could probably win
with just your left hand.

168
00:12:49,434 --> 00:12:51,812
Kang Seong-jae! Don't worry!
Just do what you always do.

169
00:12:51,895 --> 00:12:54,273
- Cooking is all about heart! Heart!
- It's not even a match.

170
00:12:54,356 --> 00:12:56,441
- Go, Ganglim.
- Go!

171
00:12:56,984 --> 00:12:58,235
Just like I always do.

172
00:12:59,611 --> 00:13:00,696
Stay calm.

173
00:13:11,039 --> 00:13:15,294
- Kang Seong-jae's luck is running out.
- Right.

174
00:13:24,094 --> 00:13:25,971
So now even you won't help me.

175
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:41,236
A HEARTY MEAL IS THE START OF CAMARADERIE

176
00:13:45,657 --> 00:13:47,576
<i>You have completed the daily quest.</i>

177
00:13:48,618 --> 00:13:51,121
<i>Your knife skill proficiency</i>
<i>has increased.</i>

178
00:13:59,296 --> 00:14:01,965
<i>All the countless cuts</i>
<i>I've made until now.</i>

179
00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:06,386
<i>I have to remember the feeling</i>
<i>from those times.</i>

180
00:14:18,523 --> 00:14:19,524
Let's go!

181
00:14:23,028 --> 00:14:24,946
<i>All right, 30 minutes left.</i>

182
00:14:34,873 --> 00:14:37,417
He's doing pretty well,
even though that's not his usual knife.

183
00:14:37,501 --> 00:14:40,003
Only bad cooks blame their gear.

184
00:14:40,087 --> 00:14:42,005
Like me. You got this!

185
00:15:17,791 --> 00:15:19,709
- 30 minutes is plenty of time.
- Totally.

186
00:15:26,842 --> 00:15:28,593
<i>I made rice every day</i>

187
00:15:29,261 --> 00:15:31,930
<i>but now I hesitate</i>
<i>over every little thing.</i>

188
00:15:33,140 --> 00:15:35,016
<i>To make delicious rice</i>

189
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:37,185
<i>is the most difficult thing of all.</i>

190
00:15:37,936 --> 00:15:39,646
<i>I'm only just now realizing that.</i>

191
00:15:47,195 --> 00:15:48,447
Dad.

192
00:15:52,242 --> 00:15:55,495
Seong-jae, do you know
why rice is so important?

193
00:15:56,538 --> 00:15:57,622
No.

194
00:15:57,873 --> 00:16:00,959
It's because rice brings
all the side dishes together.

195
00:16:01,668 --> 00:16:04,504
No matter how good the side dishes are,
they feel incomplete without rice.

196
00:16:05,464 --> 00:16:07,299
You shouldn't wash the rice so roughly.

197
00:16:07,591 --> 00:16:08,717
You'll hurt it.

198
00:16:09,843 --> 00:16:10,886
Like this.

199
00:16:12,762 --> 00:16:15,640
Gently now.
Let it slip through your fingers.

200
00:16:16,099 --> 00:16:19,603
Let it slip through your fingers.
Like this.

201
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:21,771
Now you try.

202
00:16:36,036 --> 00:16:39,915
<i>Yes, maybe even before</i>
<i>the status window showed up</i>

203
00:16:39,998 --> 00:16:42,209
<i>Dad had already taught me everything.</i>

204
00:16:45,795 --> 00:16:46,796
That's it.

205
00:16:49,049 --> 00:16:52,177
Kang Seong-jae is starting
to pick up the pace.

206
00:16:52,260 --> 00:16:54,763
It looks like he's finally
found his rhythm.

207
00:16:54,846 --> 00:16:56,598
I wonder what special dish
he'll come up with.

208
00:17:08,485 --> 00:17:10,862
- What's he trying to do?
- I have no idea.

209
00:17:16,409 --> 00:17:20,747
<i>The exact measurements and ratios</i>
<i>for the seasoning don't matter.</i>

210
00:17:24,751 --> 00:17:28,421
<i>What really matters is</i>
<i>how it tastes to me.</i>

211
00:17:29,548 --> 00:17:31,132
<i>Now that the status window is gone</i>

212
00:17:31,216 --> 00:17:34,469
<i>the only one I can truly rely on</i>
<i>is myself.</i>

213
00:17:37,305 --> 00:17:41,226
<i>I need a deep, rich umami flavor.</i>

214
00:17:53,530 --> 00:17:56,491
The air is already filling up
with a delicious aroma.

215
00:17:56,575 --> 00:17:59,411
And we're all very curious to see

216
00:17:59,494 --> 00:18:01,329
what kind of dish
Lee Ho-yeong will create.

217
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,541
That rich, buttery aroma
is making my mouth water.

218
00:18:05,625 --> 00:18:07,752
Kang Seong-jae's dish, on the other hand

219
00:18:07,836 --> 00:18:09,796
has a somewhat familiar feel to it.

220
00:18:10,505 --> 00:18:12,716
It doesn't quite look like a special meal

221
00:18:12,966 --> 00:18:15,969
so I have to admit,
I'm a little concerned.

222
00:18:16,845 --> 00:18:18,805
With two dishes that are
so completely different

223
00:18:18,888 --> 00:18:22,475
we'll see how they turn out.
All eyes are on them now.

224
00:18:28,273 --> 00:18:29,983
All right, 20 minutes left.

225
00:18:32,736 --> 00:18:35,280
- 20 minutes is plenty of time.
- More than enough.

226
00:19:03,683 --> 00:19:04,768
All right, ten minutes left.

227
00:19:04,851 --> 00:19:07,103
Both contestants need to start
wrapping things up.

228
00:19:24,871 --> 00:19:26,414
Five minutes remaining.

229
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:32,712
He has to wrap it up now.

230
00:19:38,718 --> 00:19:40,512
With soy sauce and balsamic vinegar

231
00:19:40,595 --> 00:19:42,931
he was able to make it
look just like caviar.

232
00:19:43,306 --> 00:19:45,308
- That's amazing.
- Yes.

233
00:19:45,392 --> 00:19:47,102
One minute remaining.

234
00:19:57,070 --> 00:19:59,322
All right, time's up.
Please stop what you're doing.

235
00:20:00,448 --> 00:20:02,575
Let's give a big round of applause

236
00:20:02,659 --> 00:20:04,285
to our two soldiers
for all their hard work.

237
00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:09,541
<i>Seong-jae.</i>

238
00:20:13,002 --> 00:20:15,505
You get cut by knives and burned by fire.

239
00:20:16,256 --> 00:20:19,759
You've got to wear those scars
to be a real chef.

240
00:20:20,301 --> 00:20:21,344
Got it?

241
00:20:40,405 --> 00:20:44,033
My goodness, did he really make this
in just 50 minutes?

242
00:20:44,534 --> 00:20:47,078
I saw it with my own two eyes,
and I still can't believe it.

243
00:20:51,416 --> 00:20:53,126
It looks like
Private First Class Kang Seong-jae

244
00:20:53,209 --> 00:20:55,420
misunderstood the theme this time.

245
00:20:55,503 --> 00:20:58,882
It's a far cry from the elegance
of French cuisine.

246
00:20:58,965 --> 00:21:00,049
Yes.

247
00:21:00,133 --> 00:21:02,010
- The reactions are good.
- Excellent.

248
00:21:02,093 --> 00:21:03,094
It's going to be fine.

249
00:21:03,178 --> 00:21:05,889
Corporal Lee Ho-yeong,
would you please introduce your dish?

250
00:21:05,972 --> 00:21:07,766
Corporal Lee Ho-yeong!

251
00:21:08,808 --> 00:21:10,310
Vol-au-vent is French

252
00:21:10,393 --> 00:21:11,895
for "flight in the wind,"
meaning it's incredibly light.

253
00:21:12,479 --> 00:21:14,022
<i>Inside the puff pastry</i>

254
00:21:14,105 --> 00:21:17,025
<i>I've placed a filling</i>
<i>of cream sauce and chicken.</i>

255
00:21:17,609 --> 00:21:20,278
All right, first, you will taste
the dish from Corporal Lee Ho-yeong

256
00:21:20,361 --> 00:21:21,905
of the Officers' Mess.

257
00:21:41,841 --> 00:21:43,051
This creation

258
00:21:43,551 --> 00:21:45,929
was made with a precise technique
to make the outside crispy

259
00:21:46,012 --> 00:21:50,183
while keeping the inside perfectly moist.

260
00:21:50,850 --> 00:21:52,727
It feels like...

261
00:21:54,562 --> 00:21:58,399
- Looking at...
- A piece of art.

262
00:22:04,197 --> 00:22:07,158
<i>Next, I've prepared a truffle risotto.</i>

263
00:22:07,242 --> 00:22:10,370
<i>I enhanced the aroma</i>
<i>with truffle mushrooms and oil.</i>

264
00:22:12,872 --> 00:22:15,875
It's an explosion of different flavors
in my mouth.

265
00:22:15,959 --> 00:22:18,002
This risotto has a subtle truffle aroma

266
00:22:18,086 --> 00:22:20,129
and it's cooked perfectly al dente.

267
00:22:20,213 --> 00:22:23,675
It almost feels like I'm dining
in a high-end restaurant.

268
00:22:26,386 --> 00:22:30,223
<i>For dessert,</i>
<i>I've prepared a sweet creme brulee.</i>

269
00:22:30,515 --> 00:22:31,558
<i>Please, enjoy.</i>

270
00:22:36,396 --> 00:22:37,730
It's not too sweet. I like that.

271
00:22:37,856 --> 00:22:41,442
A meal this luxurious makes me wonder

272
00:22:41,526 --> 00:22:43,361
if I even deserve it.

273
00:22:45,655 --> 00:22:47,156
Thank you.

274
00:22:50,535 --> 00:22:53,288
All right, now we'll taste the dish
from Private First Class

275
00:22:53,371 --> 00:22:54,998
Kang Seong-jae of Ganglim Outpost.

276
00:22:57,584 --> 00:23:00,461
After tasting something so incredible

277
00:23:00,545 --> 00:23:02,714
this one looks quite plain in comparison.

278
00:23:03,172 --> 00:23:04,173
Yes.

279
00:23:04,924 --> 00:23:08,303
I'm not sure you can even
call this a "special meal."

280
00:23:09,846 --> 00:23:11,014
It is a special meal.

281
00:23:11,097 --> 00:23:14,183
But it just looks like
a typical home-cooked meal.

282
00:23:14,267 --> 00:23:15,435
For sure.

283
00:23:15,518 --> 00:23:17,562
He's not in the same league
as the guys from the Officers' Mess.

284
00:23:19,063 --> 00:23:20,607
I suggest you eat it as you do at home.

285
00:23:20,899 --> 00:23:24,861
Put some kimchi on a spoonful of rice
and then wrap it in the seaweed.

286
00:23:55,350 --> 00:23:59,187
- Mom.
- My In-tae's favorite side dish.

287
00:24:00,772 --> 00:24:01,898
Eat up.

288
00:24:09,155 --> 00:24:11,115
- What?
- Is he crying?

289
00:24:13,326 --> 00:24:15,995
Our heartless Division Commander

290
00:24:16,079 --> 00:24:18,873
- is actually crying.
- Is there something wrong with him?

291
00:24:20,166 --> 00:24:22,752
- He's crying.
- Is it that good?

292
00:24:39,811 --> 00:24:41,020
- Mom.
- Mom.

293
00:24:41,104 --> 00:24:43,439
Just one more. Eat one more before you go.

294
00:24:44,649 --> 00:24:46,651
My son, you're having a hard time,
aren't you?

295
00:24:46,734 --> 00:24:48,027
Come on, let's eat.

296
00:24:51,489 --> 00:24:53,116
- Mom.
- Mom.

297
00:25:05,461 --> 00:25:07,046
- Sir.
- What?

298
00:25:09,632 --> 00:25:12,593
Gosh, I made a fool of myself by crying.

299
00:25:15,930 --> 00:25:17,432
At first glance

300
00:25:18,016 --> 00:25:20,435
I thought this was
just another home-cooked meal.

301
00:25:20,977 --> 00:25:22,520
But the more I ate

302
00:25:23,271 --> 00:25:25,773
the more it tugged at my heartstrings.

303
00:25:25,857 --> 00:25:28,109
Where did you learn to cook this dish?

304
00:25:30,403 --> 00:25:32,113
I didn't learn it from anywhere, sir.

305
00:25:33,072 --> 00:25:36,659
I pictured my cozy home,
a place that's always been my sanctuary

306
00:25:37,535 --> 00:25:39,620
and relied completely
on my senses to create it.

307
00:25:42,623 --> 00:25:43,666
For many soldiers

308
00:25:44,667 --> 00:25:47,670
including myself, what we miss the most
during our military service

309
00:25:48,796 --> 00:25:50,506
is a home-cooked meal.

310
00:25:52,508 --> 00:25:54,427
We may be dependable and strong soldiers

311
00:25:55,261 --> 00:25:58,973
but a part of our hearts
always longs for our families.

312
00:25:59,432 --> 00:26:00,641
I believe

313
00:26:02,143 --> 00:26:04,312
that the warmth
of a single home-cooked meal

314
00:26:04,395 --> 00:26:07,148
has the power to soothe that longing.

315
00:26:11,069 --> 00:26:12,487
- Five, six, seven, eight.
- Five, six, seven, eight.

316
00:26:18,910 --> 00:26:20,078
- Salute!
- Salute!

317
00:26:20,161 --> 00:26:21,662
- Perfect! This is delicious!
- Perfect! This is delicious!

318
00:26:53,111 --> 00:26:56,948
All right,
the judges' scores have been tallied.

319
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,575
We will now announce the final results.

320
00:27:03,246 --> 00:27:04,497
<i>Today</i>

321
00:27:04,580 --> 00:27:07,416
<i>I made a meal I can be proud of,</i>
<i>even if I lose.</i>

322
00:27:08,793 --> 00:27:10,878
Thinking of my loved ones

323
00:27:10,962 --> 00:27:13,881
<i>through all the cuts from the knife</i>
<i>and burns on my hands</i>

324
00:27:13,965 --> 00:27:16,968
<i>I created this meal with my own two hands.</i>

325
00:27:17,135 --> 00:27:19,387
And the final result is...

326
00:27:19,762 --> 00:27:22,098
Congratulations. This year's winner is...

327
00:27:26,978 --> 00:27:28,604
Ganglim Outpost!

328
00:27:37,738 --> 00:27:41,159
Let's give another big round of applause
for our two hard-working soldiers!

329
00:27:41,284 --> 00:27:43,119
Seong-jae did it!

330
00:27:48,833 --> 00:27:51,169
Kang Seong-jae,
you really had me on pins and needles.

331
00:27:51,252 --> 00:27:53,671
I never would have won without you two.
Thank you.

332
00:27:56,382 --> 00:27:58,593
See? I knew you could do it.

333
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:00,845
Thank you.

334
00:28:02,722 --> 00:28:05,683
Just watching them cook was pure torture.

335
00:28:06,142 --> 00:28:08,019
My mouth was watering the whole time.

336
00:28:09,604 --> 00:28:11,856
But it looks like you aren't too happy.

337
00:28:11,939 --> 00:28:14,066
Even though your own guys
took first and second places.

338
00:28:14,150 --> 00:28:15,526
I am happy, sir.

339
00:28:16,903 --> 00:28:19,572
Now let's hear a few words
from our winning team.

340
00:28:20,448 --> 00:28:22,700
- Private First Class Kang Seong-jae.
- Private First Class Kang Seong-jae!

341
00:28:24,785 --> 00:28:27,038
First of all, the Outpost Commander

342
00:28:27,121 --> 00:28:29,624
Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun,
and Corporal Kim Kwan-cheol.

343
00:28:30,124 --> 00:28:32,001
Without their help,
I never would have been able to win.

344
00:28:34,045 --> 00:28:37,590
Today, as the cook for Ganglim Outpost

345
00:28:38,674 --> 00:28:40,635
I wanted to do one last thing for them.

346
00:28:41,260 --> 00:28:42,261
Wait.

347
00:28:42,845 --> 00:28:45,556
What do you mean, your "last thing"
as the cook for Ganglim Outpost?

348
00:28:46,307 --> 00:28:47,725
Is something going on at Ganglim?

349
00:28:48,517 --> 00:28:50,978
About that, sir.
The battalion commander mentioned

350
00:28:51,062 --> 00:28:53,564
that there were safety concerns
being raised about Ganglim

351
00:28:53,648 --> 00:28:55,399
so we were in the process
of shutting it down.

352
00:28:55,483 --> 00:28:58,027
If there are safety issues,
then shutting it down is the right call.

353
00:28:58,110 --> 00:29:00,321
The safety of our soldiers
is our top priority, after all.

354
00:29:00,821 --> 00:29:03,115
May I have a word, sir?

355
00:29:20,341 --> 00:29:22,468
- Salute!
- Salute.

356
00:29:24,553 --> 00:29:27,848
I came because I have something
I must report to you, Division Commander.

357
00:29:27,932 --> 00:29:29,850
- And you are...
- The 4th Company Commander

358
00:29:29,934 --> 00:29:31,477
Captain Hwang Seok-ho, sir.

359
00:29:32,353 --> 00:29:34,105
What is it you wish to say?

360
00:29:38,067 --> 00:29:39,485
In fact, our Ganglim Outpost

361
00:29:40,027 --> 00:29:42,029
is safer than any other outpost.

362
00:29:44,073 --> 00:29:45,283
What are you talking about?

363
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,995
This is the safety report
for Ganglim Outpost.

364
00:29:49,996 --> 00:29:52,540
This report, under orders
from the battalion commander

365
00:29:52,623 --> 00:29:55,459
was intentionally fabricated
to make the outpost appear unsafe.

366
00:29:56,460 --> 00:29:57,795
What are you talking about?

367
00:29:58,004 --> 00:30:00,506
Are you saying they intentionally tried
to shut down the outpost?

368
00:30:03,092 --> 00:30:04,260
Division Commander,
it's a misunderstanding.

369
00:30:04,343 --> 00:30:06,345
In order to silence the soldiers
at Ganglim Outpost

370
00:30:06,429 --> 00:30:07,805
who spoke out about the food supplier

371
00:30:07,888 --> 00:30:10,141
and with the ulterior motive
of having them disbanded

372
00:30:10,224 --> 00:30:11,976
the closure procedure was initiated.

373
00:30:12,059 --> 00:30:13,311
Then...

374
00:30:14,687 --> 00:30:17,398
- there's just one favor I need to ask.
- Yes, sir. Please tell me.

375
00:30:17,481 --> 00:30:20,651
I'm thinking this might be
a good chance to clean up Ganglim.

376
00:30:20,943 --> 00:30:22,445
Submit a few reports up the chain

377
00:30:22,528 --> 00:30:25,072
that there are concerns about accidents
due to the outpost's deterioration.

378
00:30:26,532 --> 00:30:27,575
BUSINESS CLOSURE FORM

379
00:30:30,870 --> 00:30:32,413
Again, I apologize
for causing you concern.

380
00:30:32,913 --> 00:30:33,914
Salute!

381
00:30:36,542 --> 00:30:38,127
I'm going to look
more into those documents

382
00:30:38,210 --> 00:30:39,795
I saw in the Battalion Commander's office.

383
00:30:46,719 --> 00:30:47,970
Then...

384
00:30:50,389 --> 00:30:52,266
What can I do to help?

385
00:30:53,601 --> 00:30:56,604
While Lieutenant Colonel Baek Chun-ik
is at the cooking competition

386
00:30:57,271 --> 00:30:59,690
I need you to help me find the evidence.

387
00:31:01,067 --> 00:31:04,820
My goodness, I just knew it.

388
00:31:04,904 --> 00:31:07,615
They just changed the company name
and signed a new contract

389
00:31:07,698 --> 00:31:08,991
over and over again.

390
00:31:09,075 --> 00:31:10,910
He's been pulling this the whole time.

391
00:31:11,327 --> 00:31:13,412
I never took the Battalion Commander
for that kind of man.

392
00:31:13,496 --> 00:31:15,748
It was right under my nose.

393
00:31:15,831 --> 00:31:17,208
Hey, Investigator.

394
00:31:17,291 --> 00:31:18,918
Take all of this too. Wait a minute.

395
00:31:19,001 --> 00:31:21,379
Let me just take a picture
before you take these.

396
00:31:23,464 --> 00:31:26,008
Yes, thank you for your work.
You can take them.

397
00:31:26,092 --> 00:31:28,386
If this isn't defense industry corruption,
what is?

398
00:31:28,469 --> 00:31:32,515
This is why we were always
getting rotten eggs and stuff, right?

399
00:31:32,598 --> 00:31:34,642
You can't blame Yoon Dong-hyun
for his cooking

400
00:31:34,725 --> 00:31:35,976
when he could only use
ingredients like that.

401
00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:38,145
Kang Seong-jae is the one
who deserves credit for his good work.

402
00:31:38,229 --> 00:31:40,731
When a problem arose,
they'd terminate the contract

403
00:31:40,815 --> 00:31:42,400
and have the business shut down.

404
00:31:42,483 --> 00:31:43,943
But in reality, they were contracting
with the same company

405
00:31:44,026 --> 00:31:46,362
- under a different name.
- Hey, Hwang Seok-ho!

406
00:31:47,029 --> 00:31:49,365
Do you have any idea where you are,
talking so recklessly?

407
00:31:49,448 --> 00:31:53,828
- Company Commander, continue.
- Furthermore

408
00:31:54,703 --> 00:31:56,539
Major Im Seung-bin, who died a year ago

409
00:31:56,622 --> 00:32:00,251
during a corruption investigation,
was also wrongly framed.

410
00:32:01,335 --> 00:32:02,378
I have confirmed it.

411
00:32:23,190 --> 00:32:24,233
What is it?

412
00:32:25,359 --> 00:32:26,652
How are you holding up?

413
00:32:27,445 --> 00:32:28,487
How do you think I'm holding up?

414
00:32:29,989 --> 00:32:31,574
Has the Battalion Commander come to visit?

415
00:32:33,617 --> 00:32:35,411
Everyone is too busy cutting ties with me.

416
00:32:37,163 --> 00:32:39,081
Did the Battalion Commander
promise you my position?

417
00:32:41,417 --> 00:32:43,544
A position... Is that really so important?

418
00:32:44,753 --> 00:32:47,840
Is that why you went so far? To Major Im?

419
00:32:51,844 --> 00:32:54,722
- What are you talking about?
- He was so good to us.

420
00:32:58,851 --> 00:33:01,812
So, what exactly
did you come here to hear?

421
00:33:04,899 --> 00:33:06,692
You didn't do this alone, did you?

422
00:33:13,407 --> 00:33:14,992
I will handle it properly.

423
00:33:15,576 --> 00:33:16,619
Min-gu.

424
00:33:17,203 --> 00:33:19,079
You get what I'm saying, right?

425
00:33:19,163 --> 00:33:20,164
I...

426
00:33:21,707 --> 00:33:23,459
used to love how you were

427
00:33:24,210 --> 00:33:26,837
like a cornered rat
that would even bite the cat.

428
00:33:27,588 --> 00:33:29,173
But you don't have that fire
in you anymore.

429
00:33:29,507 --> 00:33:33,385
I don't want to be disappointed again.
Major Lee Min-gu.

430
00:33:33,469 --> 00:33:36,055
<i>I suppose if it's a matter</i>
<i>of responsibility</i>

431
00:33:36,138 --> 00:33:37,932
<i>then it's mine for failing</i>
<i>to manage my subordinate.</i>

432
00:33:38,015 --> 00:33:43,062
But if I had known about this beforehand
I would've stopped it one way or another.

433
00:33:48,192 --> 00:33:49,193
Min-gu.

434
00:34:00,204 --> 00:34:02,081
<i>I didn't know it would go that far.</i>

435
00:34:02,456 --> 00:34:05,251
<i>I was just following</i>
<i>the Battalion Commander's orders.</i>

436
00:34:05,668 --> 00:34:08,504
<i>I would've been finished otherwise.</i>
<i>What choice did I have?</i>

437
00:34:08,963 --> 00:34:10,839
He told me to send the money, so I did.

438
00:34:10,923 --> 00:34:12,049
Let's talk about this outside.

439
00:34:12,132 --> 00:34:13,384
The Deputy Battalion Commander,
Major Im Seung-bin

440
00:34:13,467 --> 00:34:15,386
found out about the kickbacks
from the supplier.

441
00:34:15,469 --> 00:34:16,470
Hey, you scumbag.

442
00:34:16,554 --> 00:34:18,681
So you framed him for everything
and drove him to his death.

443
00:34:18,764 --> 00:34:20,516
Was that on your direct orders,
Battalion Commander?

444
00:34:20,808 --> 00:34:22,017
Let's take this outside.

445
00:34:22,101 --> 00:34:24,645
I think we need an explanation,
Battalion Commander.

446
00:34:26,772 --> 00:34:29,692
Hey, you idiot.
What do you think you're doing? Darn it.

447
00:34:31,026 --> 00:34:32,695
Excuse me for a moment.

448
00:34:35,948 --> 00:34:37,283
Salute!

449
00:34:37,866 --> 00:34:39,952
Master Sergeant Park Jae-young,
Administration and Supply NCO

450
00:34:40,035 --> 00:34:41,870
for the 4th Company,
1st Battalion, 60th Regiment.

451
00:34:41,954 --> 00:34:43,998
I'm here on business
regarding the cooking competition.

452
00:34:44,081 --> 00:34:45,249
Salute!

453
00:34:48,544 --> 00:34:51,755
Lieutenant Colonel Baek Chun-ik.
We've managed to secure all the evidence.

454
00:34:51,839 --> 00:34:53,132
I'm sorry

455
00:34:54,133 --> 00:34:55,634
but I don't think
you'll be able to get out of this.

456
00:34:56,260 --> 00:34:58,178
- Investigators, please go ahead.
- Yes.

457
00:34:58,262 --> 00:34:59,471
Don't touch me. Darn it.

458
00:35:00,889 --> 00:35:02,474
What are you doing? Drag him out.

459
00:35:06,812 --> 00:35:10,316
I will return
after I have explained my position!

460
00:35:10,941 --> 00:35:12,901
Salute!

461
00:35:33,797 --> 00:35:37,426
29TH DIVISION COOKING COMPETITION

462
00:35:38,927 --> 00:35:40,763
- Company Commander.
- Company Commander!

463
00:35:40,846 --> 00:35:43,932
Oh my. What a mess.
You went through a lot.

464
00:35:44,558 --> 00:35:47,645
Geez, talk about timing.

465
00:35:47,728 --> 00:35:49,855
If I'd been just a little later,
it would've been a huge disaster.

466
00:35:49,938 --> 00:35:54,026
I was worried the competition
would be over by the time I arrived

467
00:35:54,777 --> 00:35:56,945
but thanks to Private First Class Kang
making it to a rematch

468
00:35:57,029 --> 00:36:00,532
- the timing was absolutely perfect.
- But hey, are you going to be okay?

469
00:36:00,616 --> 00:36:02,993
This will probably affect your promotion,
Company Commander.

470
00:36:03,243 --> 00:36:06,914
Well, what can you do?
I, Hwang Seok-ho, already did it.

471
00:36:07,539 --> 00:36:08,666
But still

472
00:36:09,458 --> 00:36:11,085
we can't let
any more injustices happen, right?

473
00:36:11,168 --> 00:36:12,169
Right.

474
00:36:13,671 --> 00:36:16,632
- You really went through it.
- Man, I'm beat.

475
00:36:17,591 --> 00:36:19,885
Cho Ye-rin. You did a great job.

476
00:36:22,221 --> 00:36:23,472
Not at all.

477
00:36:24,682 --> 00:36:25,766
Private First Class Kang Seong-jae.

478
00:36:26,392 --> 00:36:27,518
Congratulations.

479
00:36:28,686 --> 00:36:31,563
- Thank you, sir.
- What are you congratulating him for?

480
00:36:31,647 --> 00:36:33,691
Master Sergeant Park, we won.

481
00:36:34,108 --> 00:36:36,777
First place? You're saying you won?

482
00:36:36,860 --> 00:36:40,572
Oh my, Kang Seong-jae won. He won!

483
00:36:40,656 --> 00:36:43,742
Oh my, hey, Kang Seong-jae actually won!

484
00:36:56,088 --> 00:36:58,173
I learned a lot thanks to you,
Corporal Lee Ho-yeong.

485
00:36:58,674 --> 00:37:00,592
I hope we can meet again.

486
00:37:02,261 --> 00:37:04,471
Not at some small-time contest
like this one.

487
00:37:04,555 --> 00:37:07,224
Let's have a proper showdown.
Chef to chef.

488
00:37:08,308 --> 00:37:10,310
We'll see if that kind of home cooking
works then, too.

489
00:37:14,690 --> 00:37:18,819
- Look at him.
- Geez, showing off until the end.

490
00:37:18,902 --> 00:37:20,779
Man, he's got some great pride.

491
00:37:21,780 --> 00:37:23,866
I wonder if you just kicked
the hornet's nest.

492
00:37:25,325 --> 00:37:27,327
I think it'll be fun if we compete again.

493
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,788
Good. That's my guy.

494
00:37:31,498 --> 00:37:32,499
Let's go.

495
00:37:33,667 --> 00:37:34,668
Look at this.

496
00:37:36,170 --> 00:37:37,254
<i>Hero,</i>

497
00:37:37,337 --> 00:37:41,091
<i>the Protect the Ganglim Outpost</i>
<i>quest is completed.</i>

498
00:37:42,050 --> 00:37:43,385
<i>By winning the cooking competition</i>

499
00:37:43,469 --> 00:37:46,930
<i>the Ganglim Outpost Shutdown</i>
<i>has been halted.</i>

500
00:37:52,728 --> 00:37:55,022
- Kang Seong-jae, come on.
- Let's go.

501
00:37:55,105 --> 00:37:56,482
I'm coming.

502
00:38:05,783 --> 00:38:08,619
Hey, you were really amazing today.
You really were.

503
00:38:08,702 --> 00:38:11,789
You know what I was thinking
while I was crushing those biscuits?

504
00:38:11,872 --> 00:38:14,374
"Once I'm done crushing these,
I get to go home."

505
00:38:14,917 --> 00:38:18,045
But then suddenly, a tie! Then, a rematch!

506
00:38:18,921 --> 00:38:21,298
I thought the world was out to get me.

507
00:38:21,381 --> 00:38:24,051
Hey, Kang Seong-jae,
why were you just standing there

508
00:38:24,134 --> 00:38:26,470
after the first round spacing out
like you'd lost your soul?

509
00:38:26,553 --> 00:38:30,140
I thought he had a mental breakdown
and that I'd have to step in.

510
00:38:30,224 --> 00:38:32,142
That would have been awful.

511
00:38:32,726 --> 00:38:35,813
I think I was just really nervous.

512
00:38:35,896 --> 00:38:37,105
The Division Commander
was there and everything.

513
00:38:37,189 --> 00:38:40,275
Still, Kang Seong-jae
is definitely good under pressure.

514
00:38:40,359 --> 00:38:42,694
What? But then...

515
00:38:42,778 --> 00:38:46,281
- What is going to happen to our outpost?
- About that.

516
00:38:46,365 --> 00:38:48,492
Since the Division Commander mentioned

517
00:38:48,575 --> 00:38:51,495
that it was fine to leave Ganglim as is

518
00:38:51,578 --> 00:38:53,121
don't you think we'll just go back
to our regular duties?

519
00:38:53,205 --> 00:38:55,290
Gosh, Kang Seong-jae. On top of everything

520
00:38:55,374 --> 00:38:57,543
you even saved an outpost
from being shut down?

521
00:38:57,626 --> 00:39:00,254
Hey, you're really going
to make it big with your cooking.

522
00:39:01,046 --> 00:39:02,548
- That's amazing.
- That's amazing.

523
00:39:04,299 --> 00:39:08,595
GANGLIM OUTPOST

524
00:39:11,431 --> 00:39:15,769
- You did great!
- Great job! Yes!

525
00:39:15,853 --> 00:39:17,312
29TH DIVISION COOKING COMPETITION
1ST PLACE GOLDEN COOK AWARD

526
00:39:17,396 --> 00:39:19,273
Hey, why is everyone out here in the cold?

527
00:39:19,356 --> 00:39:22,442
We heard Kang Seong-jae won
and were waiting for you to get back.

528
00:39:22,526 --> 00:39:24,069
Kang Seong-jae, if you were any later

529
00:39:24,152 --> 00:39:26,488
everyone would've scattered
and started unpacking.

530
00:39:26,989 --> 00:39:29,533
- I couldn't wait to see you all.
- What on earth did you cook

531
00:39:29,616 --> 00:39:30,993
to stop the outpost from being shut down?

532
00:39:31,076 --> 00:39:35,497
Hey! You take some hot rice
and pile on some back ribs and kimchi

533
00:39:35,581 --> 00:39:38,333
and wrap it all up with seaweed
roasted in sesame oil...

534
00:39:38,876 --> 00:39:40,794
- Talking makes my mouth water.
- Oh, right.

535
00:39:41,211 --> 00:39:43,255
We only cooked it,
but we never got to try it.

536
00:39:43,338 --> 00:39:45,048
- That's right.
- Yes!

537
00:39:45,132 --> 00:39:46,466
Oh, right.

538
00:39:48,010 --> 00:39:49,761
I'll prepare the meal right away!

539
00:39:51,889 --> 00:39:55,851
Hey, this reminds me of that time
we went to pick <i>namul</i>.

540
00:39:56,476 --> 00:39:58,228
I was so worried.

541
00:39:58,687 --> 00:40:00,898
You all worked so hard.

542
00:40:02,524 --> 00:40:03,525
Great job.

543
00:40:11,950 --> 00:40:13,744
Gosh, this is delicious.

544
00:40:14,286 --> 00:40:17,122
Eating this strangely puts me at ease.

545
00:40:17,205 --> 00:40:18,582
It feels like I'm home.

546
00:40:18,665 --> 00:40:20,584
We arrived at the battalion headquarters

547
00:40:20,667 --> 00:40:22,127
and they suddenly told us to get on a bus.

548
00:40:22,210 --> 00:40:23,420
We were told to return to the outpost.

549
00:40:23,503 --> 00:40:25,505
So I wondered what was going on.

550
00:40:26,548 --> 00:40:27,674
I instinctively knew

551
00:40:27,758 --> 00:40:29,801
Kang Seong-jae had done something big.

552
00:40:29,885 --> 00:40:31,678
You must have been really surprised today.

553
00:40:32,179 --> 00:40:33,639
Kwan-cheol

554
00:40:34,139 --> 00:40:37,684
Dong-hyun, and Seong-jae,
you all worked so hard.

555
00:40:38,268 --> 00:40:41,605
- Yes, you did great.
- You did great!

556
00:40:41,688 --> 00:40:45,734
This kitchen still needs me.
It breaks my heart to leave.

557
00:40:45,817 --> 00:40:48,070
I just can't bring myself to leave.

558
00:40:49,237 --> 00:40:53,241
Well, that's why I prepared
something special for you.

559
00:40:57,746 --> 00:40:58,914
Is it pocket money?

560
00:40:58,997 --> 00:41:00,958
It's an application
for Specialist Sergeant.

561
00:41:04,753 --> 00:41:07,255
All right, everyone,
say hello to your new junior!

562
00:41:07,339 --> 00:41:09,257
Our very own Staff Sergeant
Yoon Dong-hyun!

563
00:41:12,219 --> 00:41:15,389
Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun,
that's the first time I've seen that look.

564
00:41:15,931 --> 00:41:17,975
<i>That look on your face,</i>
<i>all serious and sweating buckets</i>

565
00:41:18,058 --> 00:41:19,184
<i>while you were cooking...</i>

566
00:41:20,727 --> 00:41:22,771
What have you been doing all this time
to only show us that side of you now?

567
00:41:22,854 --> 00:41:25,857
It's the last chapter
of my military life, isn't it?

568
00:41:25,941 --> 00:41:29,236
I just thought it would be cool
to end it with a win.

569
00:41:29,319 --> 00:41:30,320
It's no big deal.

570
00:41:34,408 --> 00:41:36,576
Live a pure and clean life, like tofu!

571
00:41:36,660 --> 00:41:38,537
Congrats on your discharge,
Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun!

572
00:41:46,044 --> 00:41:48,213
Anyone watching would think you're
getting out of prison, not the army.

573
00:41:48,296 --> 00:41:50,590
He's being reborn, isn't he?
As a civilian.

574
00:41:50,674 --> 00:41:52,676
Your sense of humor has really improved.

575
00:41:52,759 --> 00:41:54,553
Dong-hyun, say a few words.

576
00:41:54,636 --> 00:41:55,887
Did you just call his name?

577
00:41:58,181 --> 00:41:59,850
- Jae-young!
- What?

578
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,104
- Ye-rin!
- Yes, go ahead. Say what you want.

579
00:42:04,187 --> 00:42:05,856
You wanted to do this, right?

580
00:42:08,066 --> 00:42:09,609
Man, really...

581
00:42:10,318 --> 00:42:12,154
So, this is the end of my time
in the kitchen.

582
00:42:13,155 --> 00:42:14,156
Kang Seong-jae.

583
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,824
Are you going to do this for me
when I get discharged too?

584
00:42:15,907 --> 00:42:18,118
Hey, TMI, have some tact.

585
00:42:18,243 --> 00:42:20,203
A Private First Class shouldn't be
talking about getting discharged.

586
00:42:21,204 --> 00:42:24,124
Seong-jae, if Kwan-cheol gets cocky
when he makes Sergeant

587
00:42:24,207 --> 00:42:25,625
just starve him. Got it?

588
00:42:25,709 --> 00:42:27,961
All that knife work
was great mental training.

589
00:42:28,754 --> 00:42:30,589
- Have a seat.
- Yes, sir.

590
00:42:32,507 --> 00:42:33,967
Kang Seong-jae.

591
00:42:35,469 --> 00:42:36,678
Thanks for all the good food.

592
00:42:37,971 --> 00:42:40,766
It's all thanks to you,
Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun. Thank you.

593
00:42:42,350 --> 00:42:45,145
Oh, and there's one more thing!

594
00:42:46,521 --> 00:42:48,940
One, two, three! Ta-da!

595
00:42:58,158 --> 00:43:01,411
Hey, I can't eat something this cute.
It's adorable.

596
00:43:04,414 --> 00:43:06,249
Hey, how'd you make this?

597
00:43:06,333 --> 00:43:09,377
Gosh, he made rice inside an egg.

598
00:43:10,003 --> 00:43:12,839
- Sergeant Yoon, are you crying?
- No, I'm not.

599
00:43:12,923 --> 00:43:14,966
- Hey, are you crying?
- No, I'm not.

600
00:43:16,510 --> 00:43:18,845
- Don't cry!
- I'm not.

601
00:43:18,929 --> 00:43:23,183
- Don't cry!
- Don't cry!

602
00:43:23,266 --> 00:43:26,645
- Hey, this one's crying too!
- Why are you crying?

603
00:43:27,395 --> 00:43:29,439
Oh, come on, sir.

604
00:43:31,441 --> 00:43:33,318
Gosh, this is really moist.

605
00:43:35,112 --> 00:43:36,363
Come on, let's eat.

606
00:43:37,447 --> 00:43:38,448
Let's eat.

607
00:43:54,172 --> 00:43:56,341
- Is that the new recruit?
- Yes, sir.

608
00:43:59,678 --> 00:44:00,971
KANG SEONG-JAE

609
00:44:01,054 --> 00:44:03,765
- Kang Seong-jae.
- Private Kang Seong-jae.

610
00:44:05,934 --> 00:44:07,269
Here, use this.

611
00:44:07,644 --> 00:44:09,020
Oh, thank you.

612
00:44:10,021 --> 00:44:11,022
Hey...

613
00:44:13,191 --> 00:44:15,527
Can't you just stay here?

614
00:44:27,164 --> 00:44:30,625
- Grab my hand. Quick!
- Thank you.

615
00:44:37,632 --> 00:44:39,342
Company, attention!

616
00:44:41,428 --> 00:44:44,389
Salute Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun,
now a civilian!

617
00:44:44,472 --> 00:44:48,059
- Salute!
- Salute!

618
00:44:49,519 --> 00:44:52,564
- At ease.
- Is that the loudest you can be?

619
00:44:52,647 --> 00:44:54,691
I can just imagine what a mess
the Ganglim Outpost

620
00:44:54,774 --> 00:44:57,360
- will be without me.
- You should worry about yourself.

621
00:44:57,444 --> 00:45:01,031
I don't care what you do out there,
but seriously, just don't cook.

622
00:45:02,282 --> 00:45:03,533
But what can I do?

623
00:45:03,617 --> 00:45:05,911
I've developed an interest in cooking.

624
00:45:07,162 --> 00:45:09,581
If you get a job at a restaurant,
let us know where.

625
00:45:09,664 --> 00:45:11,249
So we can make sure we never go there.

626
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:15,128
These punks are getting cocky
just because I'm a civilian now.

627
00:45:16,755 --> 00:45:18,089
Attention.

628
00:45:20,508 --> 00:45:22,135
You've all worked hard.

629
00:45:23,803 --> 00:45:25,263
Just hang in there a little longer.

630
00:45:26,681 --> 00:45:27,933
And...

631
00:45:31,770 --> 00:45:33,772
I was truly grateful for everything.

632
00:45:45,325 --> 00:45:47,827
- Especially you, Kang Seong-jae.
- Private First Class Kang Seong-jae.

633
00:45:47,911 --> 00:45:49,120
You're really...

634
00:45:51,915 --> 00:45:54,626
I can't figure you out.
Until the very end.

635
00:45:56,044 --> 00:45:57,796
Thank you for your hard work, sir.

636
00:46:01,258 --> 00:46:04,052
I'm heading out. It's cold.
You guys go on in. See ya.

637
00:46:04,678 --> 00:46:07,347
- Take care, sir.
- Thank you for your hard work.

638
00:46:07,430 --> 00:46:08,890
Hey, Dong-hyun.

639
00:46:08,974 --> 00:46:10,642
- Take care.
- Take care.

640
00:46:11,434 --> 00:46:14,521
- I'm off. Mun-ik, I'm really going.
- Go on, you old man!

641
00:46:32,205 --> 00:46:34,416
KANG SEONG-JAE'S RECIPE NOTE

642
00:46:38,295 --> 00:46:39,546
It feels like a dream.

643
00:46:43,675 --> 00:46:46,344
Today, we're meeting someone
who, at the last cooking competition

644
00:46:46,428 --> 00:46:48,805
took first place,
Private First Class Kang Seong-jae.

645
00:46:48,888 --> 00:46:53,059
Well, first, I was so grateful
that my fellow outpost soldiers

646
00:46:53,143 --> 00:46:56,438
congratulated me, and most of all...

647
00:46:56,521 --> 00:47:00,150
I'm just so glad I get to see
my fellow soldiers again.

648
00:47:00,233 --> 00:47:03,486
Well, when people eat my food

649
00:47:03,570 --> 00:47:05,822
I hope they feel like they've come home

650
00:47:05,905 --> 00:47:07,449
and they can feel comfortable.

651
00:47:07,532 --> 00:47:10,368
Filling the hearts of his comrades
with a single warm meal

652
00:47:10,452 --> 00:47:13,163
this is Private First Class Kang Seong-jae
of the Ganglim Outpost.

653
00:47:13,246 --> 00:47:16,207
This is Jeong Min-a,
reporting for Armed Forces TV.

654
00:47:17,083 --> 00:47:20,170
GANGLIM OUTPOST

655
00:47:28,386 --> 00:47:30,221
So how's work? You managing okay?

656
00:47:32,098 --> 00:47:34,684
It's tough, but it's still fun.

657
00:47:37,395 --> 00:47:39,689
I'm glad it seems to be
a good fit for you.

658
00:47:39,773 --> 00:47:41,024
Oh, right.

659
00:47:41,107 --> 00:47:43,068
I was so surprised when I saw you.

660
00:47:43,151 --> 00:47:45,528
I knew you were a good cook

661
00:47:45,612 --> 00:47:47,489
but I had no idea
you were that serious about it.

662
00:47:48,114 --> 00:47:49,324
It was really impressive.

663
00:47:52,535 --> 00:47:53,787
Thanks.

664
00:47:58,958 --> 00:48:00,710
There's that pretty smile again.

665
00:48:01,503 --> 00:48:05,382
Gosh, waiting for you
to get out of the army is taking forever.

666
00:48:22,816 --> 00:48:25,151
What? Out of the blue?

667
00:48:27,612 --> 00:48:30,448
This was always so hard for me.

668
00:48:32,784 --> 00:48:36,287
I guess it's because
I wasn't sure of myself yet.

669
00:48:41,084 --> 00:48:42,752
So you're more confident now?

670
00:48:50,844 --> 00:48:53,638
But what if someone sees us?

671
00:48:59,727 --> 00:49:03,231
"Certificate of Commendation.
Captain Hwang Seok-ho."

672
00:49:03,314 --> 00:49:06,401
"This unit,
for its systematic unit management..."

673
00:49:06,484 --> 00:49:07,485
Right?

674
00:49:07,569 --> 00:49:10,697
"Something... So he is hereby
awarded this commendation."

675
00:49:10,780 --> 00:49:13,366
"Division Commander,
Major General Kim In-tae."

676
00:49:16,202 --> 00:49:18,163
Congratulations again, Company Commander.

677
00:49:18,246 --> 00:49:19,873
If it weren't for all of you

678
00:49:19,956 --> 00:49:21,458
I, Hwang Seok-ho,
couldn't have done anything.

679
00:49:21,541 --> 00:49:22,917
And it's not just our Company Commander.

680
00:49:23,001 --> 00:49:26,921
You all saw that our Ganglim Outpost
was selected as the best one, right?

681
00:49:27,005 --> 00:49:29,132
What would've happened
if they'd shut down a post like this?

682
00:49:29,299 --> 00:49:30,925
It would've been a huge mistake.

683
00:49:31,009 --> 00:49:34,429
I know, right?
I'm so glad it all worked out.

684
00:49:34,512 --> 00:49:36,973
You all went through so much trouble
because of me.

685
00:49:38,683 --> 00:49:40,143
- Master Sergeant.
- Yes.

686
00:49:40,226 --> 00:49:42,604
From now on,
go a little easier on the <i>makgeolli</i>

687
00:49:42,687 --> 00:49:45,982
- and don't pick so many <i>namul</i>.
- There he goes again, nagging.

688
00:49:46,065 --> 00:49:49,235
Well, our Company Commander
Hwang Seok-ho is back to his old self.

689
00:49:50,862 --> 00:49:51,863
Ye-rin.

690
00:49:51,946 --> 00:49:53,698
From now on, no matter what anyone says

691
00:49:53,781 --> 00:49:56,451
keep being yourself
and always speak your mind.

692
00:49:58,620 --> 00:50:00,246
Understood, Company Commander.

693
00:50:00,705 --> 00:50:03,124
Hey, she'd do that
even if you didn't tell her to.

694
00:50:04,834 --> 00:50:06,419
- Isn't that right?
- That's right.

695
00:50:09,506 --> 00:50:11,549
All right, let's go eat.

696
00:50:11,799 --> 00:50:14,552
- Where to? Outside?
- To the mess hall.

697
00:50:15,303 --> 00:50:17,889
The mess hall? All right, let's go.

698
00:50:17,972 --> 00:50:21,643
I wonder what delicious thing
Seong-jae has cooked up for us today. Huh?

699
00:50:21,726 --> 00:50:22,727
Right.

700
00:50:34,822 --> 00:50:36,407
<i>Making rice at dawn every day</i>

701
00:50:36,491 --> 00:50:39,285

<i>and burning my hands</i>

702
00:50:39,369 --> 00:50:40,745
<i>I slowly began to understand.</i>

703
00:50:44,916 --> 00:50:48,628
<i>That a single meal I make</i>
<i>can give someone strength.</i>

704
00:50:50,088 --> 00:50:53,466
<i>That its warmth can move a person's heart.</i>

705
00:50:57,053 --> 00:50:59,931
<i>Making one meal</i>
<i>with all your heart every day.</i>

706
00:51:03,476 --> 00:51:06,896
<i>That was the beginning of the legend.</i>

707
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:13,152
<i>Hero, a new quest has arrived.</i>

708
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:16,906
<i>The Legend Begins.</i>

709
00:51:17,699 --> 00:51:21,828
<i>Become a cook who is recognized</i>
<i>in the Officers' Mess.</i>

710
00:51:25,164 --> 00:51:27,625
<i>Do you wish to proceed?</i>

711
00:51:33,423 --> 00:51:36,009

I'm truly grateful.

717

Start wearing this today.

718
00:52:24,974 --> 00:52:28,394
Hey, you scoundrel!
