The Recipe

Professor Jang talked about you often

I heard that if my story is chosen I can get an internship here

I'm on a leave until next semester,

I thought it'd be a good experience

It's not that simple

I'm not asking for

a special favor or anything

Just that I couldn't tell it to anybody

since it's concerning the Justice Department and all

What is it about?

You just completed your military service, right?

Yes

Is it a story you heard in the army?

I supposed you could say that

Those stories only work for soldiers, not us

I'll see what I can do about the internship

Now, get out of here! I'm busy

Yu-jin!

What!

I served at the ll-dong penitentiary

So what?

It's the prison Kim Jong-go was held in

I was in charge of his execution records

The notorious fugitive accountable for

the deaths of dozens of innocent lives during the 5 years on the run,

Kim Jong-gu's execution date has arrived

With the controversial confirmation

of his death sentence

Kim Jong-go will be the first man to be executed in 12 years

Name, Kim Jong-go

On February 10, 2009, the legal execution of the above named

shall be carried out in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Korea

Do you want to make a final statement?

Doenjang...

I'm dying for...

a bowl of that stew

There was no mention of that on the news

All it said was he was calm and regretful

Was there anything else?

That was all

Then, he was executed

Choi Yu-jin, Producer of DBS Special Documentary

Kim Jong-go, the most heinous criminal and fugitive of all time

The first man to be executed in 12 years since a moratorium was imposed

He was a man who shocked the world continuously,

who lived a life full of unforgettable memories

But, the last thing that came to his mind on the gallows

was merely a bowl of Doenjang stew

Sounds out of place, huh?

But, it also made me curious

Why suddenly feel hungrythen and there? Yoon Jong-hoon,

Beats me, too

Maybe he got nostalgic about ordinary life Lee Ku-seon,

Missing his mother's cooking, something like that maybe?

Do you even know who you're talking about? Ku Jin-man,

He broke right through an entire regiment of police

making a run right across the country

That's no fugitive,

that's a fucking legend!

How do you think the legend got caught? How?

Did you read about his arrest? The police's tactics and that crap...

The bastard got arrested eating

a bowl of stew

He was so dazed that

he wasn't aware when they put cuffs on him

I heard this from the man himself

He wouldn't think twice about taking a hostage when cornered

He must have seen the lights and thought there was someone inside

But, the moment he had a breath of that smell,

next thing he knew, he was taking the spoon to the mouth

He didn't even look up

Guns were pointing at him Kim Pil-man,

but he just kept on eating

Eating and eating... and I, I just stood there watching

It made my mouth water, you know

It just blew us away instantly Lee Hyeong-go,

The smell... It just...

Only after the wind blew out the smell

we got back to ourselves

If he left as much as a drop in the bowl,

I swear I would have licked it off

You think I'm kidding?

That bastard didn't even think about running off

He was in a daze even as we escorted him out in cuffs

We couldn't have caught him otherwise

Even now, I wonder what it Choi Su-ki,

would have tasted like

What the hell are you looking at?

Initially, the angle was;

What came to the mind of the heinous murderer

as he faced his death was nostalgia for the ordinary

But that's just uninspiring

As I looked into it, it turned out to be a completely different story

How it should go is,

the unbelievable taste of the stewtripped up the killer

No. Use your common sense!

He missed his chance to escape

He knew it was the end and decided to indulge in a bit of ordinary life

Look. He had over 10 minutes before the squad arrived

Hostage situation is his thing but he left the woman untouched

Plus, there were windows and a back door. It can only mean...

that he didn't run away

Right?

He gave himself up over a bowl of stew

Get it on the tape!

Anything related to Kim Jong-go will work at this time

The last thing he thought of as he faced death was

Doenjang stew

Okay!

I'm out of here

Go for it!

Trust me on this!

Try it!

This is pure awesomeness

There isn't much to it

You need good doenjang to make a good stew!

But then again, making good doenjang is real tricky,

It creates its own taste once the ingredients are mixed

but it doesn't always come out as I hoped

I try but the taste never lives up to my expectations

You're being modest

If it's the last thing a man remembers before death, it's no ordinary thing

Pardon me?

Do you remember Kim Jong-go who

got arrested here a few years back

I know him!

I asked them to keep my diner's name out

It's not good to get your name known along with a murderer

How did you find out? Not many people know about it

Like you said, hardly anyone knew about it

It was very difficult for us to find you

This isn't a food show?

Why are we talking about the murderer?

Well, we're not actually from a food show...

Then, this interview's over

Ma'am!

It really was damn good, wasn't it?

Yeah

Didn't you eat enough?

But, was it that good? Worth dying for?

Huh?

What if he was on the verge of dying of starvation?

No?

Then, maybe he was delirious from a high fever?

Hypothermia?

It snowed a lot that day, a lot

The snow came up your chest Could frost bite cause...?

No? Can't you stop No'ing me?

No, He was tested negative for any drugs

He was a little sleep-deprived but presumably from long interviews

Other than that, he was in perfect health

He must have eaten well as well

It wasn't that good

Maybe he had two tongues...

What could it be?

Can I help?

Good Lord!

Hello!

Oh, hi!

The stew he ate wasn't mine

It was hers

Anyone who tasted her stew

will never be able to forget it

Not matter how hard I try I couldn't get that taste

Then, the fragrance... I couldn't even get close!

What could I do? She only taught me that much

When she was by herself at the diner,

she would make a stew with Doenjang she made

The fugitive must have been lured to its fragrance

And, her name was?

Jang Hye-jin

What'ya doing here?

What'ya looking at in my land?

There must be lots of pine trees around

Girl must got a doggie nose

Pine trees my ass, all you can see from here are firs

Move over! I gotta sweep up

What is this smell?!

You reek of deliciousness!

I'm drooling here, girl!

You must be some cook

I can tell just by looking at your hands

Hovering around with nowhere to go... am I right?

Hey! What'd you say to snapping up some pancakes with me?

I could use a helping hand

You've got nowhere to go, right?

It looks like you didn't have any breakfast, either. Come on!

Look at you!

Come in and eat something

Gee... give me a hand!

What have you got there?

It's just...

Let me know if it gets too cold

Okay

nothing much to do here in the forest

Have a drink with me if you're not tired?

You didn't look like a drinking type

We've got to find her!

Are you playing a private eye?

Find yourself a wife instead!

What's that got to do with anything? How irrelevant!

No, you couldn't be more irrelevant!

I should've never trusted you!

Jumping from a convict story to damn doenjang

And, now to some mystery woman?

We're going back to nostalgia for the ordinary

The story is about Kim Jong-go, anyway

About a man who got caught over a stew

The woman who made it is the key!

We've got to run the story while Kim Jong-go is still hot!

It's gonna take forever to find the woman!

Even That lady at the diner

doesn't know where she is!

You can find all sorts of information with a name thesedays

Just give me one more week

For this week, you can run the story about room salons

That one is not finished

One week is all I ask for Just trust me!

Hey, Choi!

Bastard!

How am I supposed to do anything with this?

It's better than nothing

Don't see much of a face here!

I gave you her name, too

You think the police have nothing better to do?

Get out of here!

No way!

How am I supposed to find her with just the name?

What about the place of birth

orthe birth date... anything?

Nothing

Come on! She lived with you for over a month

There's got to be something

Why didn't you get her numberwhen she left?

He said he would get in touch and, he never did!

He, who?

Some chairman...

Park was the name That's right, Chairman Park!

Thank you, ma'am

Don't call me 'ma'am'! Call me sis!

Or aunty will do fine

Take good care of my niece!

Sewage plant?

I asked him what he is called a chairman for

How come you're telling me this now?

Thank you so much! I'll call you!

Chairman Park Min of Jesang Enterprise who had been missing for 3 days

was found dead this morning

When the rescuers arrived at the scene,

both passengers were dead

Hey, it's me!

You are still in the Economy department?

Yes, yes

You know Jesang Enterprise?

The chairman got killed in an accident

Was there any secret woman thing going on?

Any chance you just didn't know about it?

No.

It's nothing...

Yes

So, his brother is the current chairman and his only living family?

Excuse me!

How can I help you?

I'm a producer at DBS I am here to see the chairman

Excuse me

You need to be cleared first, sir

I won't be long, I promise

If he's not coming back in the office, I can go to him

You think I'm kidding, right? I can open my mouth and...

Kim Yu-mi?

Counting on you!

Why are you doing this?

So, he is upstairs?

Excuse me!

Don't touch me! I said I'm going!

How old are you?

You scum...

Did you find anything?

Chairman Park had two drivers

and they're both alive

Who was in the car with him, then?

I can smell media manipulation

The accident occurred in early April

The diner is in the area...

So, you already know something?

A young woman

I don't know anything!

Doenjang...

Stop!

I don't know but

on the news, they said there were two men in the car

I was told to keep it quiet, from above you know,

I assumed it was some hush hush scandal

Gee... what am I doing?

Didn't you know all about it already?

Not sure if I can spill it out

Man, I could be in deep shit for this...

You already kind of told me everything

Come on... you are dying to come clean. I can see it

Gee... I can't hold myself...

Shh, this is off the record

There were more than a few strange things about it

In most cases, decomposition takes place by the 3rd day

giving off stench, but the bodies had fragrant smell

I've never seen anything like that in the 13 years on this job

If I wasn't with my colleagues, I would've thought I was dreaming

There were butterflies everywhere

The bodies looked intact as if sleeping and butterflies were everywhere

It's not impossible

Butterflies are attracted to the substances produced in the process of fermentation

As I walked into the woods, it felt like... like...

Um... like being dazed by the smell of women's cream,

No, that's not even close

How should I describe it?

A kind of exhi-... yeah, exhilarating but also mouth-watering...

So, only the parts covered in Doenjang was keeping its form

while the rest of the body was undergoing decomposition

I could only conclude that Doenjang caused it

I found some substance structures that are not found in regular Doenjang

Edible salt usually refers to sodium chloride of over 99% purity

This is the crystallite of 99.7% purity

But you see something different here?

There are crystallites of 100% pure sodium chloride

This crystal structure is triggering catalysis reactions

Absolute purity is only possible in theory

I have never seen anything above 99.8%

It means that this is a 100% pure sodium chloride,

such thing cannot exists in the real world

Can you get the records on Chairman Park's accident?

If you run a search on the same date, you'll find Jang Hye-jin's death record

What? Are you saying that she is dead?

What the hell, man?

All this time, you made me look for a dead woman?

You're just unbelievable!

I haven't run the name yet

You gotta check her record against the accident record to verify...

That's lovely!

You know what they say about using a cell phone while driving

What does he say?

He suddenly felt dizzy and blacked out

What a crap!

I got him tested for substances and put him in a holding cell

He'll be out soon He's contacted his insurance company

You found anything?

What have you got in the back pocket?

Damn! You are killing my appetite!

It was her all right

How could one have no family left?

Of sodium chloride

Such crystallites only exist in theory

A meaningful discovery...

They fucking snatched our story! Turn on the television now!

What?

I told You we should run it this week

By mentioning Doenjang stew, he must have been thinking about his family

It touched a string in my heart

Kim Jong-go

"I'm dying for a bowl of that stew"

were the last words of Kim Jong-ju

I'm being extremely generous not firing you right now

Kim Jong-go story is history now, so...

Chief!

Why don't we just focus on the Doenjang?

Doenjang, my ass!

Dig into the story of Chairman Park and his young ladyfriend, the mistress?

You know howthe story should go

So, they manipulated the media

to cover up the accident and to hush awaytheir affair?

That's it!

Man, you are so full of cliches!

Her Doenjang draws butterflies

It kept the bodyfrom rotting

For real!

Did you drink on the clock? Cut the crap and get out of here!

I've even got proof

Are you out of your mind? There is no such thing!

If there is, why don't you bring it to my face, you moron?

I will bring it overfor real

Get the hell out!

Most simply put, Doenjang is made by adding salt waterto boiled soybeans

But, there is a lot more

elements involved

Like grapevine, the soybeans change according to the soil type and sunlight

If you use the tree sap, Doenjang will have a sweet taste

If water flowing from under the rocks is used,

the Doenjang will never turn musty

Just the way low quality salt will makes it taste bitter,

you must pay the same level of care when it comes to selecting the water

I have a question, ma'am!

It's related to the salt but have you heard

of a 100% pure sodium chloride crystallite?

I heard it's different from bay salt

Well,

I've studied traditional food for 20 years

but I've never heard about that

Where did you hear about that?

Like the soil type affects the rice plant,

the rice stalks tying the bean blocks

determine the taste of the end product

Factors like the wind used to air the bean blocks

and where the crock is kept can affect the taste

Ultimately, it's the environment that determine the taste of Doenjang

If I know where it was made, I'll know more about the Doenjang?

That's right. Good ingredients come from good environment

Coarse salt, roasted salt,

salt crystals, seasoned salt

and sesame salt

No,

I'm looking for a special kind of salt that's only available locally

Look around! We're surrounded by mountains

Local salt? Are you kidding me?

That wasn't necessary!

What about the local water? A really good water?

Where?

Oh, really? I was being serious

Damn you

The apartments have been here for a some time

I opened up this place around the same time,

so it must be about 3 years ago

The town has changed completely since

It used to be a handsome place

What are you doing?

Playing with your food?!

Eat up like a man!

It doesn't taste good?

No. I just don't have much appetite

Don't give me no crap! Your eyes say otherwise, you're starved

Did you use to live in the neighborhood?

Before they put up the apartment blocks?

Do you happen to know

a woman called Jang Hye-jin?

Am I talking to myself?

It's already salty!

Try it now It's no ordinary salt

It's special salt that

I only scarcely use but I'm piteous of your saggy face

You should be honored

Are you sure that was just salt?

This salt alone in the water is better than most soup-bases

Try making a stock with all sort of stuff, it won't taste like that

It must be expensive?

Paying a lot will be a cheap deal!

You can't buy it with money even if you wanted

I was only able get some

when her mother was around

Hye-jin's mother I'm talking about

Didn't you say you knew her?

The first thing she ever saw were soybean blocks

Her mother used to make Doenjang for living, so that was only natural

She smelt the fermenting bean blocks before the smell of the breast milk

She used to play with the crocks She never needed to be taught

She just naturally grew into making Doenjang

Then, her mother passed away

It wasn't like she had anyone left here

So, She just took off

She set out to search the salt pan

that supplied salt to her mother

That was the last I heard of her

Not only should you dry it up properly,

The seawater must be drained thoroughly

to keep it from tasting bitter

That the most important thing!

No matter how many times

I tell her that it was the salt her mother used

She would barely dab her tongue and shake her head

But, then

she found the dear batch that I stashed away

Hidden so well that I sometime forget where I kept

"You got me there girl,

I can't NOT sell it to you!"

I couldn't help but say that

So, I personally packed it and sent a sack to her address

Did anyone come for your soybeans? To make Doenjang?

Her name is Jang Hye-jin

Isn't that the mill owner Park's daughter?

She is Park Hye-jin, you dumb ass!

She set out to become a singer years ago, stupid!

Is there any other soybean field around here?

There is nothing but soybean field around here

The soil is so rich and abound that

we get good hard beans here

They say, the beans are so good the goblins come to the village to eat them

Goblins! What Goblins?

It's true what they say about the goblins!

How come you find fault

with everything I say?

Thank you I'll see you again

See you!

Thanks

What's your problem, woman? Every time I say something!

Beans! Get back to the beans

In that house, the pig helps out weeding the field

because the granny has no-one else to help her

The granny makes manure with the pig dung

I mean, every house has their secrets

I can't just pick one

The water always tastes fresh and stays chilled even in summer

Awesome, huh?

If you cook rice with it, rice have almost bouncy texture

This spring is our village's hidden treasure

It's hard for anyone to find it by themselves

The path leading up to here is very rough

Why is it called Mount Ume?

I don't a single ume tree

There is a grove full of ume trees

deep in the woods

I've never been there on my own

Better have the mountain goblin guide you

You mean the goblin that visits the town?

No, not the local myth stuff

I was talking about a guy who knewthe path

You see there?

We call it Lacquertree Spring because the water passes lacquer tree roots

It's hidden well, don't you think?

The salt and the water is identical to the sample you brought me earlier

They are, right?

You have no idea what kind of trouble I went through!

But, I can't say the same about the beans

Even if they were from the same field, each year's produce may be different

You mean, even if I get all the right ingredients for 100% pure sodium chloride,

you can't recreate the Doenjang?

Well...

It'll be extremely difficult to do

How come?

As long as we can recreate 100% sodium chloride...

There are so many other elements acting reciprocally

Other elements?

I found alcohol and some fermentation agents

Those elements are needed to make Doenjang?

They were present in that particular Doenjang

Even with all the right ingredients, sample analysis has its limitation

You can't figure out howtheywere combined

even if you get me a crockful to analyze

The crock?

Crocks...

I've never seen one Did you see one?

I've never see a crock stand in that house

Can you make Doenjang without the crocks?

Where else would you store it for fermentation?

Not without the crocks! But, I saw her bring in some crocks

I used to walk past her house all the time

but I never saw any crocks out

She told me she got her crocks made by a blind potter

She had a truck load of them

Maybe they were for the winery

Are wine crocks smaller?

I can't see so, I remember people by their scent

She smelt of Doenjang,

so I knew right away that she came for condiment crocks

She brought her own clay

It was moist and free of fishy odors, fresh

and had a smell of petals

It takes decades for decomposed petals

to slowly seep into the soil for the clay to carry that fragrance

If you fill up that crock with water,

the water will carry the scent of flowers

The man she came with had the same scent

A man? She came with a man?

Did you see his face?

I could smell the scent even from afar

I could tell that they were lovers

They hands shared the same fragrance

as if they were holding them for a long time

Scent of petals... Park Min

scent of petals and man

This is not right

You're being connected to the voicemail...

Hey man, why is it so hard to reach you?

You're not avoiding my calls, are you?

I'll call you again on the way to the station

I'll buy you a good meal, okay?

When did you come in?

Chief has been looking for you He wants you in his office, now

Way too busy... Gotta go find someone

Who?

I dunno

Choi!

Mr. Choi?

My name is Park Gu

I'm Chairman Park's twin brother

Man, you do look so alike

Are you feeling all right?

It didn't seem like a minor collision

You left the hospital early

Well, l...

How did you know about my accident?

I have my sources

Where are you taking me?

You are not a good driver You know...

I'm not tiny bit interested in your brother's lame scandal, I promise

What are you cooking up man?

You must have a lot of free time at hand

Where the hell are you taking me?

Please... I hope you didn't get a wrong idea

I am not pulling off some spy movie here,

I just didn't want people having wrong ideas about my brother

People tend to draw up an easy conclusion like you

I'm sorry to disappoint but there is no big conspiracies

We are almost there So, don't worry

This is where he passed

I didn't believe him until I learned more about the accident

I thought it was just coincidence

Sometimes your conditions just goes away without a reason

There was a girl my brother had a secret crush on as a boy

Sadly, the poor girl

vanished into the ground right in front of his eyes

Her body, recovered much too late, reeked of stench

And, the stench pierced my brother's nose

Was it the horrendous smell?

Or was it the shock of seeing her like that?

Whatever the reason, he completely lost his sense of smell since

By irony of fate, he became a sewer pipe layer

since no stench could deter him,

he could spend all his time in the sewer without ever seeing the sun

Eventually the underground world became his empire

And, with that came enough money to make him the richest of all

But, what good would that be?

No delicacies of all land and sea, no scent of woman

could allure him

For him, the world was odorless color-free and uninspiring

We sought after doctors from all over the world

but, no one could give him back what he had lost

A long time passed like that

One night, while being lost in a mountain,

he found a lodge and knocked on its door

And, there, the lost world came back to him

It was like magic

The airwas filled with an unbelievable fragrance

the woman gave out sweet and precious scent

He kept going back to her

He wanted to pay her back for the gift she gave him

Or maybe, he just wanted to see her

Maybe you're right Maybe he was in love with her

He hadn't known a scent of a woman before he met her

She gave him back his world

How could he not be in love with her?

But, it wasn't the case for her

She had someone else in her heart

Someone she wasn't able to forget for all those years

My brother wanted to find him for her

Because to be reunited with him

was the only thing she wanted

The day of the accident, they must have been on their way to meet him

I guess he wanted to take her to him by himself

Because that's the kind of man my brother was

Do you know the name of that man?

You wanted me to find a person with just the name

and now, you don't even have the name?

Eat up! Save the talking for later

That's abalone

Which is also yours!

Go on, try some!

The smell is just awesome

You knowthey got killed while driving to see the man?

And, they are both dead now

If I had someone else to ask, I wouldn't be buying this

What are friends for?

Huh?

If you are so dying to find him, why don't you look for him yourself?

It's not like I didn't try!

I gave it to you, didn't I?

Gave me what?

I got you the accident record,

along with navigation coordinates

You ignorant bastard! You didn't you what you were looking at, did you?

You stupid dumb ass!

The big shot chairman driving through countryside, minus the chauffer,

Of course, he used navigation system!

I can't believe how dumb you are!

But, this is where the pig soybean field is

Hey, kid!

Do you live around here?

Yes

Are your parents around?

No?

This woman used to live in the mountains

look close... Do you recognize her?

Yeah?

There was a man who was... you know... um... in love with her

Like Husband and wife?

Yeah! Clever boy!

Is his place nearby?

What that thing on your back?

It's for the village festival The goblin man made it for me

Oh, shoot!

The festival!

Follow up this road

Gotta go!

Hey! Where are you going?

You got me late for the festival Go straight up!

Come on...

Is anybody home?

Is anybody home?

Alcohol and fermentation agent...

Alcohol... yeast?

Alcohol and fermentation agent!

Yeast has these substances

I just confirmed that

I haven't met him yet

but, there is a village festival tonight Maybe I'll find him there

Careful, boy!

Hey, kid, is he here?

The guythat lives in that house?

The goblin man?

Yes

He's over there

Grandma, the goblin man is...

Excuse me!

Excuse me!

Do you know Jang Hye-jin?

Where are you going?

You've been in this village all along?

Wait up!

And, take off that mask! You are scaring me

Hey, man! Where the hell are we headed to?

Do you actually know where the crocks are kept?

By the time I came back they were covered in white power

What are covered in powder?

So, by the time you got back, Hye-jin had already left the village

Why didn't she wait for you here?

Talk to me, please!

Why didn't you get back earlier?

Can't I get some answers around here?

If you had gotten back earlier, she wouldn't have gone to look for you

Do you know where the lacquer tree spring is?

It's little further down Down that way

What are these for?

For making ume wine

You put the petals in wine?

I cover the yeast with them

That's why you smelt of alcohol

I thought you were going to fetch water

It looked like bucket

I was lost

You went through all that trouble to use the water for cooking?

I wanted it for making Doenjang

Wait here for a moment I show you the way

It's quite tricky to find forfirst-timers

Is it just me? I think I smell soybean blocks

I'm here!

Careful, boy!

A goblin?

That's what we call him

He knows all the paths by heart He can find them with the eyes closed

He shows up from out of nowhere day and night

He might as well be a real goblin

We got him to wear a goblin mask at the last village festival

Both his parents were winemakers for generations

His grandfather is Japanese

He wanted to make the ume wine here

and got his son to travel back and forth

He first came once every month then every ten days then, every five days and

she soon had a bun on the oven

he was the bun out of that oven

He lived here all his life then?

Not really

When he was still a boy, his grandfathertook him back to Japan

He was almost dragged back

Heard he is set up for an arranged marriage with someone there

but he came back one day to carry on the family legacy

He does have amazing skills

Like father like son

Granny,

can I use your phone?

That goblin must have known that we were talking about him

Be brief or I'll get a humongous bill!

He didn't put up a phone line just to avoid talking to his grandpa

His grandfather must be so anxious

He is his only grandson, after all

Men came from Japan to take him home just a while ago

But, he is stubborn like his own father

There is a call for you!

It's a cordless phone for him

Hello?

Hey!

Here!

These petals must have been piling here for a long time

It's summer and I can still smell ume flowers

Do you think the crocks will have the same fragrance?

It's cool in here, isn't it?

Yes, like in spring

Maybe it was to meet you

I sometimes wonder what made me

want to come back

Maybe it was for you

I met a goblin while looking for soybeans

There they are!!

It's the goblin man!

She's putting them in the blocks to make them go white

If you place them on the blocks, it helps them ferment well

When the crickets chirp they create wavelength

If you place them on the rice stalks, they cause the stalk to resonate

It helps the bacteria on the stalks to transfer evenly on to the blocks

helping the blocks to ferment thoroughly and turn them white

If turned black, Doenjang will taste bitter

You have to feed the fire with woods everyday?

I should live with you here to get you the fire woods you need

I used to sleep in the room where they dry the blocks since I was little

When are you going to let me taste your Doenjang?

It's far from ready

You've got to wait at least few more years

All right, I'll wait! Instead,

Instead, what!

In the olden days, they sent over Doenjang with the bride as dowry,

you've got to bring all these with you when you marry me

You see

how they've turned all white? The crickets...

Don't! It'll scratch up your face

Winemakers have soft hands

because yeast retains moisture

Cold water makes your hands chappy

Always Use warm water and yeast to soak your hands,

okay?

The yeast! Do you have any more of them?

Two jars, maybe three jarsful!

To take a bath or something?

I'll let you taste it first when it's ready

I'll make the best Doenjang stew ever!

Is it in there?

Maybe because the yeast is generating more heat

it's fermenting too fast

I can move the crocks into the shade to keep them cool

But Doenjang must be exposed to sunlight everyday to get the flavor right

Would you like some more pan cakes?

No, I'm okay Please help yourselves!

More pancakes for you?

Thank you! Take a seat here

I'm okay

Help yourself

Help yourself

Let's get out of here

In a minute

You've done enough

A few more minutes

No, that's enough

Grandma, the goblin is taking her away

I'm taking her to make her my bride

Goblin and the lady sitting in a tree

K-I-S-S-l-N-G

First comes love then comes marriage

then comes a baby in a carriage

Goblin and the lady sitting in a tree

K-I-S-S-l-N-G

First comes love then comes marriage

then comes a baby in a carriage

It was her, wasn't it? The one standing in the back

It was the first time seeing her for me, too

Hye-jin,

Grandfather passed away

I've got to pay my respect

I gotta leave today to be on time

for the funeral but I'll be back right after

I'll be right back

I'll only be away for a few days

You were here?

Why did you down so late today?

He called for you!

Hyun-soo?

He said he is coming back soon Just about to take off

Look at you blush!

His grandpa didn't pass away after all

He must have believed he could make him stay

I can see how badly he wanted his grandson

but he couldn't be more mistaken

How could he stay there without you around?

Hye-jin!

You have a call!

Hello?

Who is this?

Hung up, I guess

Who could that have been?

The goblin man

Will you stare at the road all day?

This is the first stew I made... for you... I kept my promise

I waited here every day

The crocks were covered in white powder

Did you say she was on her way here?

The winery?

It fell into ruin all of a sudden

What are you talking about? It got blown away in a storm years ago

But, it was perfectly okay until yesterday

What about the young man who lives there?

He disappeared, too

What on earth are you talking about?

We haven't seen him in years Not since what happened

He's dead?

That silly girl

set out to look for a man who was dead and gone

His grandfather had men at the airport,

so, he arranged to travel on a boat

That year, so many boats got shipwrecked in the storm

No-one has ever heard of him since What else can it mean?

But, how could I break the news to her when she is waiting for him like that

I hoped she would eventually give up

I couldn't find anything.

So, I got men to track his trail in Japan

Theyfound his name on the sailing record

He had signed under his Japanese name

I'm sorry to be passing you bad news

Do you really want to go back?

It'll only bring back painful memories

Silly me. Am I not?

It feels like he is waiting for me there

when that's not possible

It's just... just that we were together there

He didn't get to taste it, yet

I was gonna make him a tasty stew when I find him

All those big promises and what did you get for me?

"Trust me?" Trust you, my ass!

Will you listen to yourself?

You got intoxicated by the fragrance of Doenjang and met a goblin?

You got wasted somewhere and had a booze soaked dream!

The ingredients of the Doenjang that Kim Jong-go missed in his last moments

Crocks made of clay saturated with ume blossoms

Salt dried only in sunlight then drained of seawater over time

Soybeans grown by baby pigs

Lacquer tree spring water from a deep forest

Ume wine yeast

Resonance created by crickets

Sunshine, wind

and

tears

Method for making

You wait
