All language subtitles for Paiks.Les.Miserables.S01E04.1080p.H264.AAC.VIU.WEB-DL-LoveBug [DRAMADAY.me]_track3_[eng]

(Paik's Les Miserables)

(The grades are rearranged after the cooking competition.)

(The previous Team A)

(Team A succeeds in maintaining the A grade.)

(Team A made the best preparation for storytelling.)

(From Team A,)

(I got the model answer that I wanted!)

Team B...

(Going down to the C grade)

(Their division was visible.)

(Their opinions keep clashing.)

(The conflicts are not settled.)

(The team's disharmony during practice...)

(made a serious impact on Team B.)

(Still,)

(they acquired additional points by elaborating on storytelling.)

(The team that became a new Team B...)

(is Team F that succeeded in jumping 3 levels up.)

(Their teamwork was outstanding.)

(Team F kept the basic rule of business, "name.")

(Team F to be eliminated today)

(The worst teamwork due to conflicts)

(Poor preparation of the ingredient)

Team F to be eliminated today...

(Team D is eliminated.)

(They still have a chance to try again!)

(Cho Do Yeon gives up trying again.)

(What awaits Team F?)

(7 days after the elimination of Team F)

(The mission starts now.)

The mission starts now.

(Dormitory)

Contenders, please stand on the space for each grade.

- Again?
- What's happening?

(Studio 100 is filled with tension.)

We have fewer burners.

Are we going to cook right away?

(Unidentified seats in the studio)

I guess we'll have an audience or more judges.

Are customers going to visit us at random?

(Paik's Les Miserables)

(They enter when the door opens.)

(Paik Jong Won, the designer of Paik's Les Miserables,)

(and the 4 chefs)

(Very tense)

(Contenders got more tense after Team F was eliminated.)

(What will be their mission today?)

Wait a minute.

You're not going to compete today.

Move to the back.

(Are the survivors going to have a seat?)

You're not carrying out a mission today.

(Are there other contenders?)

We're not doing this.

What is it? Who's going to do it?

I thought something was going to happen.

(Who will challenge for the new mission?)

(F grade eliminated last week)

(Contenders get tense to see them unexpectedly.)

(What's happening?)

(Contenders of grade F are back...)

(and they look the same as when they were eliminated.)

I felt nervous alone hearing that there would be a mission today.

As four of them appeared,

I was a bit surprised.

It was different from what I expected.

Why are they here?

Is it a consolation match? I thought they were eliminated.

Rather than feeling glad, to be honest,

I first wondered after what process they were back here again.

(7 days ago, during the Creating a Meal From the Sea mission)

(Team D showed the worst teamwork..)

(as well as the wrong preparation of the ingredient...)

(due to the poor understanding of it.)

(The team to be eliminated today...)

(is Team D!)

(Contenders are eliminated...)

(due to being below the standards.)

(The team mission reveals individual deficiency.)

(Seong Hyun Woo, a child deserted by parents)

(Poor basic knowledge)

(He's wearing a ring.)

(No.)

(Rough cutting, ignoring the standard)

(He should watch how others are doing it.)

(No preliminary research on ingredients)

(Cooking with the label on the pot)

(Seong Hyun Woo showed limits...)

(and lack of desperate feelings.)

(Jeon Dong Jin)

(Preliminary cooking test: Pan-fried zucchini)

(Pouring the oil he used on the zucchini)

(His cooking skills have no basics.)

(Zero understanding of the ingredient)

(His dexterity doesn't improve compared to his efforts.)

(It has a roundworm!)

(It's alive.)

(A challenge seemed impossible for Jeon Dong Jin.)

(A total disaster)

(Oh Chang Seok: Alcoholism)

(After-effects of alcoholism remain in his body.)

(Trembling)

(His hands look trembling.)

(Higher confidence in his cooking compared to his skills)

(A very poor sense of hygiene)

(Oh Chang Seok needs to overcome the barriers in reality...)

(which are after-effects and groundless confidence.)

(Cho Do Yeon: Victim of domestic violence)

(You need to throw it away, anyway.)

(It doesn't matter if you throw it away. It's salty.)

I'll leave it here and cook once again.

(Running the team on his own judgment due to responsibility)

(Clean it thoroughly.)

(How far did you go with the mackerel?)

(You haven't skinned it, right?)

(Look at me!)

(The worst teamwork...)

(was caused by the leader.)

(I felt horrible.)

(I was ashamed.)

(Noticing the consolation match)

(I want to create a chance, seriously.)

I think...

(I think I shouldn't do this.)

I think I'm responsible for my team's elimination.

(Cho Do Yeon refuses to join in the consolation match...)

(due to a sense of responsibility)

I will respect your decision.

But life isn't that easy.

Life is tough, and doing business is tougher.

You shouldn't live a life based on your feelings.

That doesn't look cool either.

I'm not saying you should prey on other people fiercely.

(Advice as a senior in life and business)

I'll see you again.

(Cho Do Yeon tries to leave.)

(Would his challenge stop like this?)

None of us thinks that way.

No.

I don't want to.

I thought I had to cook again on the spot,

and felt strong resistance.

But if I could get an equal chance,

I should try it. That's how I changed my mind.

(He joins the consolation match with stronger resolution.)

The chefs here, including me,

hope you learn as much as you can...

while you have a chance.

Even if you can't survive here to the end,

not here, but when you go out to the society,

I desperately want you to survive in a self-employed business.

Therefore,

about the team eliminated in the last mission,

I decided to give them the last chance.

They rarely were prepared...

and started business in tough situations.

After participating in a few survival shows...

and continuing work for a few days...

don't give you a sudden knowledge and sense.

But I could clearly see the change,

so I felt sorry and suggested to give them a chance.

For today's competition, literally,

suppose that you own a business that will be closed soon.

But you think this is your last chance...

so you should prepare a menu...

that can save your store. That's your mission today.

You're not chefs yet.

You're the ones to run a store anyway.

What's the most important for someone who runs a business?

It's marketing.

The store needs to succeed, anyway.

(Paik Jong Won Project)

(Chapter 3: Marketing To Save My Shop)

(Develop and cook a menu...)

(to revive a store that's about to be closed.)

(Just like the Creating a Meal From the Sea mission,)

(imagine you're the owner who sells the menu,)

(and through the 1-on-1 matching with a chef in charge,)

(prepare for the F grade mission.)

(Chefs in charge of each contender: Yoon Nam No, Seong Hyun Woo)

(Lim Tae Hoon, Jeon Dong Jin)

(Kim Min Sung, Oh Chang Seok)

(David Lee, Cho Do Yeon)

(Chef Yoon Nam No, Seong Hyun Woo)

(Seong Hyun Woo heads to somewhere.)

(Seong Hyun Woo: A child deserted by parents)

Hello.

(Chef Yoon Nam No welcomes him.)

(Bright)

How come you smile now?

It's because you're my favourite chef.

- Have you got some sleep?
- Yes.

Could you sleep all right?

I had a good sleep.

- You had a good sleep?
- Yes.

(Sighing)

Haven't you had it, you know...

Haven't you felt something after that?

If only I had known a bit more about cooking...

and I had more knowledge,

I might have had a better result.

Do you think you were eliminated because of the lack of knowledge?

Do you think that's the reason you got the F grade?

It's true I had so little knowledge...

and other...

- qualities for cooking...
- Think carefully now.

This isn't a show where good cooks appear.

- Okay.
- Do you get it?

- Yes.
- We see the potential.

(It's about the contender's potential to improve.)

Have you worked on practice?

- Practice...
- Tell me frankly.

I haven't done much.

- You haven't done much, have you?
- No.

This is a matter of sincerity.

(Why is Chef Yoon Nam No talking so severely?)

- Get your act together, please.
- I will.

Will you?

In the past, I was also someone useless...

and deserted.

I wondered if it was the same with Hyun Woo.

He didn't even get a chance...

to learn what passion meant.

I really wanted to make him go crazy for something.

Without preamble, let's see what's ahead of you.

I'll text you an address later.

- Yes.
- Okay?

You can get to the place I tell you by 9:30am.

I get it.

- You got it?
- Yes.

(The next day)

This one was used.

(Is Seong Hyun Woo working at a restaurant in Seoul?)

We don't have much now.

Cheese or vegetables.

- Tell him to do something else.
- Yes.

(What's the basic skill he'll learn first?)

(Cutting)

After cutting it in half.

I'll show you one first.

Keep the ingredient and remove only the root.

And do the same.

Don't press down the knife.

Push it forward.

Do it the same. Don't cut it roughly.

(The chef gives a demonstration.)

Go ahead.

(Hesitant)

(He doesn't know what to do with the knife.)

What are you doing?

The root...

Didn't he cut it in half first?

(Removing the root with the help from the chef)

(Time to slice)

(Seong Hyun Woo isn't familiar with using a knife.)

(The blade cuts his glove too.)

(100 percent anxious)

Leave it.

Your hand is in the air like this.

(Pointing out Seong Hyun Woo's problem)

Your hand is in the air.

Then it's natural it moves around.

- You should put this part on.
- I see.

Put it on and you can just move to the side.

(Holding a shallot with his fingers)

Don't fold your fingers like that.

Keep this angle.

Fold your fingers. Again. Keep the posture.

If you start from above your hand, the knife cuts your fingers.

Move the knife in this area.

There you go.

(His cutting gets more natural.)

That's it.

All right.

To the tip of the knife. Okay.

Spread it.

(The slices by the chef)

(Similar thickness with what the chef did earlier)

- Can you do it or not?
- I can do it.

- You can do it, see?
- Yes.

- You can do it.
- Yes.

- Got it?
- Yes.

- You can do it.
- Yes.

There's nothing I can't do.

Practice makes perfect. I felt that.

(It makes him realize that an effort brings out an outcome.)

(The 3rd day of the special training)

(He lacks skills yet, but moves on step by step.)

(Seong Hyun Woo prepares for a rechallenge.)

(The food for his life, made with an effort)

(Dongdaegu Station, Daegu)

(Why did Seong Hyun Woo come to Daegu?)

- Mom!
- Hi, Hyun Woo.

I'm home.

- You're home.
- Yes.

Thank you for coming.

Where did you get this?

I got it from the market.

Thank you. Kids will love it.

- Have you eaten yet?
- I need to eat now.

(A simple but affectionate conversation)

In the case of our facility,

each home has someone called Mother.

They stay single all along.

My mom...

sacrifices herself, and I learn a lot from her.

She has a lot of children.

I think it's amazing that she takes care of us all.

(They're related with a deeper love...)

(than a blood relation.)

(Lost in thought looking at his mother cooking)

Watching her preparing a lot...

and cooking sincerely,

I thought about how much I appreciated her.

Here are the perilla leaves.

(Prepared sincerely on a new plate)

(A homemade meal)

Let's eat.

(Trying his mother's side dish)

(Staring)

It's good.

I'm glad.

Enjoy the food and cheer up.

Okay.

(I'm glad. Enjoy the food and cheer up.)

- How's the preparation going?
- What?

- As I cook, - Yes.

I realize how difficult cooking is.

It's difficult, for sure.

It makes a difference depending on your mindset.

I haven't cooked roughly for you until now.

- Yes, I think so.
- Yes.

I sincerely chose even a plate.

If a good dish made with sincerity...

is served to you...

on a nice plate,

you won't treat others roughly.

- As I cook, - Yes.

I think of you cooking for me...

and really...

(Seong Hyun Woo)

that sincerity...

(I feel so thankful for that sincerity.)

I appreciate it so much.

When you're paid money by other people...

for cooking food for them,

you need to think a lot and do it carefully.

It's because people can feel it.

They can feel it if it's done sincerely or half-heartedly.

It's what I tell you all the time.

Whatever you do,

do it with your heart, sincerely.

That's how we should live.

- Yes.
- While I'm in the show,

- I'll do my best to the end...
- Yes.

- as you said.
- You've changed.

- What?
- You've changed.

As my mother told me,

it's something I need to do.

So I'll do my best to the end...

and make a choice without regret.

(Chef Lim Tae Hoon, Jeon Dong Jin)

(Waiting for another contender...)

(is a Chinese cuisine chef, Lim Tae Hoon.)

(F grade Jeon Dong Jin)

- How are you?
- Hello.

Have a seat.

Oh, gosh.

(Jeon Dong Jin feels nervous in front of the chef.)

- Did you say it to me?
- No.

(Chef Lim Tae Hoon chose Jeon Dong Jin.)

If I should take one among those four,

I think I can teach Dong Jin even if I have to beat him up.

He did his best, but he didn't have a good outcome.

I felt so sorry about that.

So I thought, "If I teach him,"

"I think he can make it."

- This is the director here.
- How are you?

That's the director.

Starting today,

what you have to do is wash the dishes here.

- It's your job.
- Yes.

I thought, "When can I finish these?"

"I'm doomed."

(Working in the kitchen for the first time in his life)

(Jeon Dong Jin washes carefully.)

(Chef Lim comes to check how he's washing.)

(He checks if the pot is washed all right.)

Wash this one again. I can feel the grease on it.

I'll do it again. I'm sorry.

(Dishes pile up.)

(Dishes keep coming in without a break.)

How come the business is perking up here?

(Jeon Dong Jin is overwhelmed by the pile of dishes.)

(Glaring)

My back and shoulders ached.

It was hard. I wanted to go home.

(But he pulls himself together.)

He shows me what a kitchen is like, from the bottom.

He does it to teach me as much as he can,

so he teaches me severely, I think.

I appreciate that.

Now stop washing the dishes.

Let's practice cutting.

I get it.

(Starting to practice the basic skills in earnest)

(He escapes from dishwashing.)

We're going to cut this carrot.

You'll cut starting here.

When you cut here, this one moves around.

- It moves, right?
- Yes.

- It's moving.
- Yes.

You need to push this part hard...

and press hard with these fingers to hold it all right.

And you need to size it with your index finger.

(Size the ingredient using your index finger.)

Like this, evenly.

Cut it again according to the size.

(Cut it into even-sized pieces.)

Go ahead.

I think this would be comfortable for me.

- Straight.
- Straight.

Tilt it. Slowly.

Yes.

It's important that you produce the even results.

(The wrong habit appears again.)

(He's using his thumb, not the index finger.)

Come on.

If you're going to do it the way you used to do, just go home.

I kept paying attention, but it was hard.

So it wasn't easy.

Cut it.

Do it gently.

Don't press the knife too hard.

(Chef Lim's harsh 1-on-1 training)

Slice it evenly!

Look how this one sticks out!

(His training continued all night.)

(The 2nd day of the special training)

Use the sharp side.

If you feel like you can't...

Do it again!

Again!

(Jeon Dong Jin's endless effort)

(I must save you no matter what.)

(The 3rd day of the special training)

(His practice of cutting ingredients never ends.)

When things are on track,

you should move more quickly than before!

What did CEO Paik say?

It's important to cut it into even slices.

The same rule applies to measuring!

Check how much sauce you put in!

(He's literally absorbing what the chef is teaching.)

He at least tries to follow my lead when I teach him.

After the 1st, the 2nd, and the 3rd day passed,

I was like, "It's working!"

"He has a potential!"

"He truly is!"

Oh, yes.

(Chef Lim serves the dish he carefully made to his student.)

Thank you. I'll enjoy it.

(After the 3 days of training,)

(the taste of jjajangmyeon hits him differently.)

How is it? It's different from the normal ones, isn't it?

Yes, it sure is.

This jjajangmyeon is...

called napa cabbage jjajangmyeon.

Actually,

I was raised...

by my grandmother.

Since we were quite poor,

she used to get some napa cabbage...

and dried radish greens dumped in the market.

They became our side dish.

(His side dish was dumped napa cabbage and dried radish greens.)

And as I grew up,

I really hated eating them.

Now, she's suffering from dementia,

so I can't eat them even if I want to.

Anyway, I hate to eat them,

but I miss my grandma's cooking, which is ironic.

(The taste of her cooking, which he can only imagine now,)

(has become the taste of memory.)

(A chef should cook with their deepest heart.)

(In this napa cabbage jjajangmyeon, we can feel Chef Lim's heart.)

You really should be honest and do your best when cooking.

Don't exaggerate.

Then, people will recognize your story.

- I understand.
- Right?

That's what you should do.

(What makes the true taste of food is one's sincerity.)

(Chef Kim Min Sung, Oh Chang Seok)

(K Japanese restaurant in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul)

(Oh Chang Seok: Alcoholism)

- Hello.
- Welcome.

- I was waiting.
- Oh, I see.

- I was outside.
- I missed you, man.

- You ate something?
- Yes, I did.

- You did?
- Yes, sir.

"Whose story touched you the most?"

To me, it was Chang Seok.

I was worried that he might drink again.

I was deeply worried.

Since there's a possibility that he takes the wrong way again.

You are okay without drinking alcohol?

You mean drinking? I sometimes think of it.

You think of it every day, right?

If there weren't a consolation match, I'd have drunk again.

That's why I was worried about you.

You were on my mind.

- You should now quit, right?
- Yes, I should.

You should.

- Don't even imagine drinking again!
- I won't.

If you fall for it again, I will just kick...

I'll tear all your hair out.

(Chef Kim is worried about him deeply.)

- Don't drink.
- I won't.

Speaking of the next mission, what's in your head?

- I'm thinking of kimchi jjigae.
- Kimchi jjigae?

(Oh Chang Seok is pretty confident in cooking kimchi jjigae.)

(He even thought of opening a restaurant with it.)

In what way? Explain it to me.

I add kimchi and a bit of sugar.

- Sugar?
- Yes.

And a few tablespoons of sesame oil.

- Sesame oil?
- Yes.

(Sesame oil?)

First...

(Where should I begin?)

Let's see. I will stay next to you...

and if you ask something, I'll help you.

- Keep practising.
- I got it.

Let's begin.

(Oh Chang Seok's kimchi jjigae tour)

(He films the dishes he tries and checks every detail.)

Kimchi jjigae here is pretty sour.

It comes with extra noodles.

Sir, can I ask you something?

I don't taste any sourness. How did you do that?

For the broth, what ingredients do you use?

- Beef leg bones!
- Beef leg bones? I see.

I feel so full now.

(Oh Chang Seok's kimchi jjigae tour ends here.)

(What is Chef Kim Min Sung seeing?)

(He is a bit clumsy, but he carefully does one thing at a time.)

- Take your time.
- Yes, sir.

(He's busy working.)

Does it have broth?

- Sorry?
- I meant broth.

Yes, I have.

It may become stir-fried pork.

(Obviously, there's not enough broth.)

(Emergency solution)

It seems there's no broth, sir.

It's done, Chef.

(Finally, Oh Chang Seok's kimchi jjigae is complete.)

(It's made of his study and efforts.)

It looks pretty good.

The oil is well spread, which is good.

(What would it taste like?)

(Expecting to receive good feedback)

It's too salty!

What about having a bowl of rice?

You shouldn't rely on side stuff.

- It should be fine as is.
- I see.

- You practice all day tomorrow!
- I got it.

- Make sure you make a complete one.
- I got it.

You should show me the actual work. We don't have much time.

- I see.
- You got it?

- We're out of time!
- I'll do my best.

(Will he be able to make his own kimchi jjigae?)

(The 2nd day of the special training)

(He makes up for what he lacks...)

(and checks things that he didn't know.)

(Slowly, his own kimchi jjigae is being made.)

(The 3rd day of the special training)

(Chef Kim's final check)

Make sure the meat is cut off.

You should make sure it's cut off, meat or fish whatever it is.

Right?

That's it. You're doing well!

That's it.

You learn pretty quickly.

Make it big. Put in a generous amount.

(Under the guidance of Chef Kim,)

(his cooking skills are improving quickly.)

It was the most impressive moment in my life.

I haven't had anyone...

whom I admired in life.

But I felt that from him for the first time.

(We can do it. They showed their trust in each other.)

I was so thankful.

I do want to see him for a long time.

I believe I met the saviour of my life.

Seriously.

(Chef David Lee, Cho Do Yeon)

(G Western restaurant in Yongsan-gu, Seoul)

- Come on in.
- Nice to meet you.

(Cho Do Yeon: Victim of domestic violence)

Hello.

(Who is he meeting with?)

- Did you have some rest?
- Yes, I did.

- You were at home?
- Yes.

(It's Chef David Lee.)

So, in this mission,

(F grade mission: Menu To Save Myself)

we should choose a menu that will save you.

Did you choose yours?

I'm considering braised half-dried pollack my mom used to cook for me.

Let's suppose you finished it and served it here.

What's your story about it?

(He can't easily open up his story.)

- You didn't have enough to tell.
- You are right.

But you're skipping that part again?

Contender Cho Do Yeon is...

capable of cooking what he wants.

He has enough experience.

So what he needs now is a solid storyline.

And if we can find his own drama,

it will lead to a great result.

Why are you here?

"We are searching for the best taste of all."

That's not it!

(The core of this mission is to tell the best storyline.)

"I cooked it because I wanted!"

"Just eat it."

That's not the right business mindset.

(Cho Do Yeon is lost in thought.)

You don't have to regret it later.

- This is a lifetime opportunity!
- Yes.

If I can tell my own story,

I will be able to pull off this mission.

He emphasized it.

(Making a storyline with braised half-dried pollack)

I was searching for ingredients...

that could help me build up a story.

(He searches for healthy seasonal ingredients.)

There are no bones.

(He visits a few pollack restaurants and compares the tastes.)

(And lastly,)

(he cooks his own braised pollack.)

(What will be Cho Do Yeon's storyline he found?)

(They are gathered here with desperate hearts and efforts.)

I tell you once again,

this is your last chance.

I will win no matter what,

and I repay my chef and the people...

who have supported me.

So I'll go to the next stage, no matter what.

He is smart enough to know how to get himself up...

and make his routine.

He'll do well.

If I just do what I prepared, things will work out well.

I'm confident.

About Contender Cho Do Yeon.

He has a strong pride.

Will he be able to put his pride on hold...

and convince others with his own story?

Others may guess...

I don't know anything about cooking.

But I will prove that they are wrong.

I support newbies...

and underdogs.

I want to see them run to the final stage.

People still underestimate me.

Since I still lack in a lot of things.

But if I climb up the ladder step by step,

then everyone will be tensed up. Just wait and see.

When I observed him working from start to end,

I thought a lot had changed.

And that there was a possibility.

Evaluation will be conducted in reverse order,

not in the order in which the dishes are completed.

Now,

we will start Paik’s Les Miserables F grade mission,

Menu To Save Myself.

(Who will survive the consolation match?)

(F grade mission, Menu To Save Myself)

The time is 2 hours and 30 minutes.

The time limit is very long.

(Unlike the observers,)

(every minute and every second counts for the contenders.)

(They are moving smoothly as they have practised.)

(The real challenge starts now.)

(They have been preparing just for this day.)

If it were me, I would've been too nervous to do anything.

- Be nervous and forget the order.
- Yes.

I'd be nervous and all.

They would have practised a lot to be in this place.

(Will their efforts not betray them?)

What are you most curious about?

(What are you most curious about?)

I’m curious about Cho Do Yeon’s.

- His story?
- No, not his story.

- His menu.
- Menu.

(What's the menu that will save Cho Do Yeon...)

(that Chef Lim Tae Hoon is most curious about?)

First, I prepared big half-dried pollack covered...

(1. Big half-dried pollack covered with short-fruit pimpinella)

with short-fruit pimpinella.

And hot pot rice and treasures.

Like a set meal.

(He prepared a set meal of braised pollack and hot pot rice.)

Braised half-dried pollack is good if it's done well.

There are times you really crave it.

But then again, there aren't a lot of places that make it.

I'm looking forward to the kimchi jjigae.

(Chef David Lee is curious about kimchi jjigae.)

- What kick does he have here...
- Right.

How did he do it...

to have chosen this as the menu to save him?

First, I had to make the broth.

So I made broth by dissolving broth powder in water.

Then I added kimchi...

and the meat.

Then I added green onion.

(Add green onion that's sliced horizontally.)

And I added synthetic seasoning.

(Add synthetic seasoning.)

Well...

(His ace up the sleeve is what everyone is familiar with.)

(Lightly sprinkling it over)

(The familiar ingredient makes even Chef Yoon laugh.)

He just put in two packets of synthetic seasoning.

That has to be delicious. That's the second one.

(Oh Chang Seok's kick is 2 packets of synthetic seasoning.)

Two packets mean that he is really desperate.

That is his lethal move.

He used broth powder...

and synthetic seasoning.

He's using all the cheat codes he can.

If you are a Korean, kimchi jjigae is...

a dish that everyone likes and enjoys.

I think this is what can save a restaurant that is shut down.

(Meanwhile)

(Seong Hyun Woo is cooking calmly.)

(What is the menu that would save Seong Hyun Woo?)

I'm making soft tofu jjigae.

But I added in cod roe.

So it's soft tofu jjigae with cod roe.

And I prepared sausage coated with eggs.

(The side dish is sausage coated with eggs.)

What I think is most important this time is warmth.

Of course, there is the warmth of the heart.

But I also think that food should be warm.

So I thought about it a lot.

And I thought of an earthen pot. So that's why I chose the menu.

I made this as I wanted to share this warmth...

with my weary guests.

Hyun Woo couldn't hold a knife like this.

He used to hold it like this.

But he's much better now.

(He's cutting skills have become much better.)

(He thought about something for a while.)

Has his cutting skill become better? I mean, Jeon Dong Jin.

Yes. He has become much better.

So can he cut ingredients for fried rice?

Yes, he can.

(How is Jeon Dong Jin's cutting skill?)

Because I worked hard to learn how to use a knife,

having a good cutting skill is my winning strategy.

(His cutting skill makes rapid progress.)

My dish is MZ fried rice.

The reason why it's MZ is that M stands for mother...

and Z refers to myself, Gen Z.

I didn’t eat vegetables when I was younger,

and my parents had a hard time with it.

So my mother developed this menu to make me eat vegetables.

I'm looking forward to MZ fried rice.

I'm curious. What does he put in there...

- to call it MZ fried rice?
- Right.

(He even catches CEO Paik's attention.)

(He observes him carefully.)

(He is even executing dicing perfectly.)

I mean...

Yes?

How did he improve so much in a few days?

His posture and the way he tidies things up are also very organized.

The same goes for his cutting skills...

and for tidying up.

I know. When you look at Jeon Dong Jin especially...

He looks professional. On the outside.

He has changed so much in a few days.

(If the cutting board gets dirty a little,)

(he cleans it right away!)

Why would he clean it after using it only once?

(He looks like he is cooking...)

(but he goes to the sink again.)

He's washing the cutting board again.

He's washing it again.

His food will taste like water.

(His food will taste like water.)

How many times is he washing the cutting board?

(He is stuck to the sink.)

Gosh. What?

It's been 40 minutes already?

That's unbelievable.

(All his time passed while washing the cutting board.)

(He only cut 2 ingredients in 40 minutes.)

(There is something off about Jeon Dong Jin,)

(the cleanliness lover.)

(The 4 contenders are desperately working with changed looks.)

He is on it. He's making a rolled omelet.

Please make the rolled omelet well.

Since Chang Seok doesn't have much experience in cooking,

he is even measuring the amount of eggs as in the recipe.

(He is inexperienced in cooking,)

(so he is measuring in every process of cooking.)

To study kimchi jjigae,

I visited five kimchi jjigae restaurants.

Almost all of them only had rolled omelet.

I thought a lot about it.

But I don't think there's anything better than this.

(He chose the rolled omelet as the side dish after a long thought.)

(And CEO Paik watches it carefully.)

He made tremendous progress.

(Oh Chang Seok's rolled omelet keeps...)

(attracting people's attention.)

It is difficult to roll the egg at the beginning.

Oh Chang Seok is very nervous,

- but he is doing his best.
- Doesn't he?

He is biting down on his lower lip.

That shows how much he is concentrating.

(He is carefully rolling the omelette one by one.)

(Slowly the omelette is taking shape.)

- Oh Chang Seok...
- Yes?

In fact, Oh Chang Seok used to shake his hands so much.

I couldn't even imagine him making a rolled omelet like that.

Right?

(Impressive rolled omelet made with effort)

(Fingertips that used to shake is now painting hope.)

But the guy making fried rice...

Yes. Jeon Dong Jin.

has been preparing ingredients...

for almost an hour.

(Jeon Dong Jin has been preparing the ingredients for 1 hour.)

A self-employed business that will be closed soon.

I'm a self-employed owner in danger of going out of business.

(There is 1 hour and 30 minutes left.)

One hour.

Almost one hour had passed.

So things started to get complicated.

Gosh. Why isn't this working?

(Preparing ingredients isn't going in the way he thought.)

Why is it so big?

I should do what I can do.

Is he still cutting ingredients? He's in trouble.

If I were cooking it, my daughter would have eaten it...

- and went to academy already.
- Me too.

Don't rush it. Let's do it slowly.

The way I learned it.

(The way I learned it.)

The way I learned it.

This isn't the result of my practices.

(Next to Jeon Dong Jin, who is preparing ingredients,)

(there is Seong Hyun Woo, who is tasting the food.)

(Gosh)

What is it?

He just put the spoon he used for tasting back in the pot.

What?

He put the spoon back in the pot after tasting.

(The spoon that went into the soft tofu jjigae)

(The same spoon goes back in for the second time.)

Why does he keep tasting the food with the spoon he used?

When Seong Hyun Woo tasted the food,

he used a spoon to taste it and put it back into the food.

Really?

(The soup is being stirred with that spoon.)

(Sausage coated with eggs and soft tofu jjigae)

It's taking too long.

(When he is about to taste the food again...)

Hyun Woo.

- Seong Hyun Woo.
- Yes?

Don't taste it with a spoon that you already used.

Okay.

(Gosh)

(CEO Paik approaches him at the moment.)

(When he's about to leave without saying anything...)

(Turning around)

(He watches Seong Hyun Woo.)

(He is using the same spoon to taste it again!)

(Well...)

Number one does not measure and keeps tasting the soup.

It seems like he is going to eat it all while cooking.

Even though I used the same recipe,

it tasted different every time I practised making it.

Sometimes, it was bland,

and sometimes, it was salty.

I'm worried about that.

(Time keeps flowing.)

It's here.

(Someone's cheat code appears?)

That's Chang Seok's.

It's Chang Seok's.

Budae jjigae toppings.

A meal is getting prepared.

- He's done.
- He's done.

(He adds the secret beef bone broth.)

(Oh Chang Seok is the first one to finish cooking.)

- That's...
- If it's not hot...

Who was it?

Oh Chang Seok? Are you done?

Yes.

Uncooked.

I prepared it so that the customers could cook this themselves.

(Oh Chang Seok finished cooking in 1 hour 12 minutes 6 seconds.)

(Seong Hyun Woo's soft tofu jjigae is ready.)

(Will Seong Hyun Woo's dish be complete like this too?)

(He makes something more.)

I prepared sausage coated with eggs.

(He makes sausage coated with eggs.)

(The old men are excited to see the old-fashioned side dish.)

- The pink sausage.
- Right.

He's cooking sausage with eggs.

(The father of three is also familiar with the side dish.)

He's cooking the sausage...

like pan-fried battered meatballs.

(He places the side dish on the plate neatly.)

(He places the spoon and chopsticks too.)

(Seong Hyun Woo finished cooking in 1 hour 26 minutes 2 seconds.)

The soft tofu jjigae is ready.

(Seong Hyun Woo is the second to finish.)

(CEO Paik moves to check the dishes.)

This will be served.

- Will this be served?
- Yes.

(CEO Paik touches the hot pot with bare hands.)

- This?
- Yes.

(He puts it back down.)

(Chef Kim Min Sung seems to have something to say.)

(He's confused.)

(There are 2 contenders left.)

(Cho Do Yeon, Jeon Dong Jin)

I'm curious about his dish.

(Cho Do Yeon's dish makes people curious.)

Big half-dried pollack.

(The braised half-dried pollack shows itself.)

It looks like a master chef's work.

It went smoothly.

I cooked half-dried pollack so many times.

I had everything...

under my plan.

(Cho Do Yeon calmly completes his dish.)

The pollack looks good.

It looks nice.

Doesn't it look like a stylish countryside dish?

(The hot pot rice to eat with the braised pollack)

(The judges continue to give favourable comments.)

It looks like a restaurant dish.

He's making the hot pot well.

Right.

- It's hard to control the heat.
- Controlling the heat is difficult.

(Oh Chang Seok and Seong Hyun Woo are done cooking.)

(Cho Do Yeon is at his last stage.)

(Jeon Dong Jin has been preparing the ingredients for about 2 hours.)

He doesn't have much time left.

(Chef Lim Tae Hoon is nervous because of Jeon Dong Jin.)

(Cho Do Yeon's dish is also ready.)

(Cho Do Yeon cleans up his table.)

(Let me see.)

Do Yeon didn't ring the bell, did he?

- Who?
- Do Yeon.

- He didn't.
- Why is he not ringing the bell?

He's washing the dishes.

(He's just cleaning up, leaving the completed dish.)

(Did he forget to ring the bell?)

- He's washing the dishes.
- What?

He's washing the dishes.

He's washing the dishes?

(Cho Do Yeon is washing the dishes instead of ringing the bell.)

Is he not going to ring the bell? Did he forget about it?

(Why isn't Cho Do Yeon ringing the bell?)

Why isn't he ringing the bell?

Why isn't he ringing the bell?

(The other contenders tell him.)

The bell.

Cho Do Yeon.

(They actively give him signs.)

Where are you looking at? Look here.

(Cho Do Yeon ignores them.)

(What is he doing?)

Cho Do Yeon.

Are you not ringing the bell on purpose?

(Did he not ring it on purpose?)

On purpose?

Yes.

(What were Cho Do Yeon's thoughts?)

I wanted to be the first to present.

(The evaluations will take place in the reverse order of completion.)

It was just my pride.

Hot pot rice tastes good when it's warm.

So I kept turning the stove on and off.

I was confident.

He wants to be the first to be evaluated.

That could be an advantage, but it could also be a disadvantage.

I think he would get scolded.

They might say, "Why didn't you serve the food when it was done?"

It's a high-level strategy.

(Will his unringing of the bell be a plus or a minus?)

(Jeon Dong Jin finally began cooking the ingredients.)

He started cooking. He finally started.

(He makes a mistake because he feels nervous.)

Gosh.

(Those who are watching it are nervous too.)

Why do I feel so anxious?

(Jeon Dong Jin's moves are worrisome.)

I guess it's a bit burdensome to do it alone.

(CEO Paik comes to check.)

He must be very nervous.

I'm scared.

(His hands start rushing.)

(Will it be done within today?)

It's taking too long.

It's been almost two hours.

(It took almost 2 hours.)

(Even those who are done and waiting...)

(are nervous.)

He's brazen.

(He adds the seasoning and stir-fries it again.)

(Cho Do Yeon is waiting for him to finish.)

(His dish seems far from completion.)

It's taking time because he's not skilled.

But he doesn't hesitate at all.

(A portion of rice is gone.)

(Jeon Dong Jin puts the remaining rice in the bowl.)

(Scale)

What's really amazing...

is that he's trying to measure the exact amount in that situation.

That's really amazing.

I'm feeling nervous.

(Those who are watching are feeling nervous too.)

I didn't want to be embarrassed.

I just wanted to show everything I'd done so far.

I can do it.

- Look at him sweating.
- What?

He's sweating.

(His dish is getting ready with his sweat.)

He's making it really passionately.

(The remaining time is inversely proportional to his passion.)

Jeon Dong Jin. You have ten minutes.

Yes. I'll finish up.

(Jeon Dong Jin is still frying the rice.)

He doesn't have time.

You have 3 minutes and 30 seconds.

Yes.

Stop frying it.

(His teacher is getting nervous too.)

(He still has to taste it!)

He still tastes it.

(The contenders who are done...)

(are also getting nervous.)

We won't be evaluating the taste,

- but I'm curious.
- Right.

- Right?
- I'm really curious.

That's a talent too.

(He plates the food...)

(with a calm expression.)

He's really amazing.

I really respect him.

(Remaining time: 1 minute and 30 seconds)

Even I'm feeling nervous.

This is awesome.

He does his best to complete it until the end.

(Jeon Dong Jin is calmly finishing up.)

(Remaining time: 1 minute)

I'm more nervous.

(The nervousness increases with time.)

There's no time.

(He checks the time.)

He has almost 30 seconds now.

(Will Jeon Dong Jin...)

(be able to complete the dish...)

(within the given time?)

Gosh.

(Everyone's eyes are on one place.)

(Jeon Dong Jin is done with 29 seconds left.)

(And...)

(Cho Do Yeon rings the bell last.)

(He's relieved that he finished it in time.)

(He finally gets his smile back.)

(And...)

(they clap for the contenders.)

Well done.

You have 29 seconds left.

We gave you two and a half hours.

The time isn't an issue because you completed it in time.

Thank you.

You all worked well.

(You all worked well during the 2 hours 30 minutes.)

(The order of completion)

(1st Oh Chang Seok, 2nd Seong Hyun Woo)

(3rd Jeon Dong Jin, 4th Cho Do Yeon)

(The order of evaluation)

The last to finish was Contender 12, Cho Do Yeon.

We'll taste his food first.

(The first menu they'll taste is Cho Do Yeon's braised pollack.)

I thought I prepared a lot.

I could answer anything they would ask.

I was confident.

The big half-dried pollack covered with short-fruit pimpinella...

and the hot pot rice and treasures you ordered are here.

(Braised half-dried pollack and hot pot rice)

(The dishes that will save Cho Do Yeon)

Is that all?

(Slightly flustered)

Is there nothing more to explain?

If you have any questions...

Why would I? Customers ask based on what you tell them.

(David Lee pointed out Cho Do Yeon's storytelling.)

Why did you pick pollack as your ingredient?

I deeply thought about it.

If I was running a restaurant that was about to close permanently,

how would I feel?

I would feel listless.

Before serving customers,

I should have energy.

What's the dish...

that helped me recharge since my childhood?

Did your mother make this often when you were a child?

No, not so often.

When I got to eat braised pollack from time to time,

it was really delicious.

These days, whenever it's my birthday,

I ask my mother to make it for me.

(A dish that reminds him of his time with his mother)

What's in here?

In the dish,

there's turmeric powder.

That's why the rice has the golden colour.

Also, there are treasures in season,

such as seasoned vegetables including balloon flower roots.

There's also pollack roe.

So I named it hot pot rice and treasures.

What are the benefits of turmeric?

What I know is...

that turmeric has anticancer effects.

- "Anticancer?" - It prevents cancer.

- What else?
- It has antioxidant properties.

"Antioxidant?" What does that mean?

(Cho Do Yeon is bombarded with questions.)

As you live, oxidants accumulate in your body.

Turmeric gets rid of those.

- Oxidants accumulate in the body?
- Yes.

What is an oxidant?

It's something that causes ageing.

- Really?
- I'm not a scientist.

I'm just someone who makes food.

(Cho Do Yeon tries to cover it up by making a joke.)

You aren't a scientist, but you must have added turmeric...

to the rice for a reason.

(He's struck dumb by the sharp question.)

- Turmeric rice.
- Yes.

(The judges start to taste the food.)

It's seasoned well all the way inside.

(Despite his teacher's compliment,)

(Cho Do Yeon doesn't feel at ease.)

(The judges taste in silence.)

Here's one thing that I find disappointing.

Yes?

In this situation, we're consumers.

We're your customers.

If you had explained your dish...

before the customer asked questions,

it would have been much better.

I thought that it would be better to answer...

the questions customers ask.

I don't think that...

restaurant owners can run a business when they're talkative.

Instead of rambling in front of customers,

I should present my dishes with interest.

Then, when I answer their questions,

it has a synergy effect.

If I explained every detail of my dish,

they'd feel uncomfortable.

I wouldn't want that.

However,

four of you are running a restaurant that's about to shut down.

You must do everything possible.

You could be talkative or stubborn...

in order to attract customers.

Isn't it strange that I have to keep...

asking you questions?

(Cho Do Yeon is at a loss for words.)

I made myself clear. We asked for storytelling...

to hear everything that you had to say.

The person who finishes cooking first gets...

to be the last to explain,

but what's the point of having that advantage?

The rest of them might have thought...

of answering customers...

only when asked.

I'm sure they changed their mind now.

It's the advantage given to those...

who submit their dishes earlier than others.

But you gave it up yourself.

I really want to know why.

Why did you try...

to be the first one to submit your dish?

I wanted to serve my hot pot rice...

as warm as possible.

That's also strange.

I told you clearly that the taste wasn't important.

I made myself clear in the beginning...

that the taste wasn't important.

We wouldn't evaluate the taste of your food.

(They aren't being evaluated on their food.)

This is what's important.

Restaurant owners have to be persistent...

and stubborn at times.

However, it's very important for them to understand quickly...

what the customers want.

Being firm on your ideas isn't...

very successful.

(Everything must be applied in business.)

You must consider all the aspects.

Did I misunderstand it?

This isn't what I expected.

(Will Cho Do Yeon be able to survive?)

Who's next?

The one who finished third.

(Next up is Jeon Dong Jin who finished third.)

Hello. Thank you for coming to my restaurant.

If I owned a restaurant that was about to shut down,

what dish would I make?

The dish I'll present is MZ fried rice.

(MZ fried rice)

M stands for mother,

and Z stands for Generation Z, which I'm part of.

From elementary school to taking college entrance exam,

I was supported by my mother while eating this dish.

Although I have hurt my parents emotionally...

from causing a lot of trouble,

they've always believed in me and supported me.

To express my gratitude and apologies,

I made the dish like my mother's.

(Jeon Dong Jin says that he hurt his parents emotionally.)

(What's the hidden story behind Jeon Dong Jin?)

Hello, I applied because I want to change my life.

My name is Jeon Dong Jin, and I'm 33 years old.

(Gambling addict)

(He wants to recover from addiction through Paik's Les Miserables.)

Hello.

(Studio 100 on the 1st day)

- Hello.
- Hello.

What does everyone do?

- What is it?
- Gambling addict.

I reap what I sow.

I'm ready to get criticized a lot.

(Jeon Dong Jin joined while being ready to be criticized.)

People don't change,

but they can change...

when someone believes in them.

(Jeon Dong Jin's resolution: I can change.)

I will definitely change this time.

(What made Jeon Dong Jin appear on the show?)

(First meeting with Jeon Dong Jin)

I've taken out loans from shadow banking...

as well as private loans.

I lost everything that I had earned.

My debt kept increasing.

In the end, I quit my job.

After getting kicked out of the house, I had nowhere to go.

And so...

(He even lived on the streets.)

I slept on the streets in Dongdaegu.

That's when I hit the lowest point...

of my life.

This is what my counsellor told me.

(What made Jeon Dong Jin appear on the show?)

In order to recover from this addiction,

I must let people around me know.

There will be no answer if I keep it a secret.

On your profile, you can tell people...

not to lend you money because you gamble.

I don't feel brave enough...

to tell everyone about it.

I believe that this is the only chance...

that can save me.

It's the only chance that can help me...

get away from it.

(Could it be the only chance to get away from this addiction?)

(He lacks more skills than other contenders.)

(He lacks more perseverance than other contenders.)

(He lacks more knowledge than other contenders.)

(Determined to recover from his addiction,)

(Jeon Dong Jin doesn't give up until the end.)

- Hello?
- Mom.

Where are you right now?

I'm at the shoot.

- If I get eliminated...
- I don't understand...

why you made that decision.

It's to stop gambling.

How will I live...

- with that shame?
- This was necessary.

Gosh.

Now, I will show people how well I live.

Can I trust you?

You can trust me now.

Goodness.

The weather is hot, so take care of yourself, okay?

- Okay.
- Bye.

(He's determined to change his life. What will be the result?)

Through this mission,

I felt that I was getting a little better.

Although I have been quite negative,

from seeing myself changing,

I feel hopeful.

I made this dish with hope.

(There's honesty in his trembling voice.)

(Feeling proud)

He's good.

I made a mistake.

Is this how your mother used to make?

My mother made it only with plain rice.

After spending three days with Chef Lim Tae Hoon,

I wanted to show something special.

- Did you only change the rice?
- Yes, I gave it a try.

(How will Jeon Dong Jin's MZ fried rice taste?)

(His teacher takes a spoonful.)

(How will the strict judge, Yoon Nam No evaluate it?)

- It isn't bad.
- Right.

It's not bad.

They must have liked it.

- For today's mission, - Yes.

the time limit was 2 hours and 30 minutes.

(Time limit for today's mission was 2 hours and 30 minutes.)

You spent 2.5 hours on it.

That's right.

What do you think is the problem?

I focused too much on measuring accurately...

and making the taste as consistent as possible.

That's why I took time.

This isn't...

- an actual restaurant.
- Right.

But if it were,

your customers would wait too long.

(His cooking time was long enough to be on Guinness World Records.)

- Thank you for the food.
- Thank you.

(Only the cooking duration was pointed out in the evaluation.)

(Storytelling about his life and long cooking time)

(What does the future hold for Jeon Dong Jin?)

I couldn't do what I practised,

so I regret that.

Seong Hyun Woo who finished second.

Yes, sir.

Here's your food.

(Seong Hyun Woo prepared a soft tofu jjigae meal set.)

Please enjoy.

It's soft tofu jjigae with cod roe.

I prepared sausage coated with eggs on the side.

(Soft tofu jjigae and sausage coated with eggs)

(Total silence)

(The silence makes his eyes quiver.)

- Is that all?
- I'm sorry. I'll start again.

When I was in middle school,

I finished cram school late around midnight.

When I came home, my mom made me soft tofu jjigae...

with cod roe in it.

She made it for me.

I crave this dish whenever I feel down.

That's why I chose it.

By the way,

why did you serve soft tofu jjigae in an earthen pot?

This is the most important.

I served the soft tofu jjigae in an earthen pot...

to keep it warm as long as possible.

It's also for the appearance.

What if...

customers could choose?

Would you like soft tofu jjigae to be warm or the sausage?

Which one would you choose?

As the main dish is soft tofu jjigae,

I'd pick that.

But how did you cook it?

(Did Seong Hyun Woo make a mistake in his cooking?)

They're served together,

so there isn't much of a time difference.

You don't think that you took long?

Do you remember that I lifted it...

when you were done cooking?

- Will this be served?
- Yes.

(CEO Paik touches the hot pot with bare hands.)

(The soft tofu jjigae got cold while he was making the side dish.)

If someone can touch the jjigae...

made in an earthen pot, it means that you failed.

He should put it down because it's too hot.

(Not being able to touch it is normal.)

(Seong Hyun Woo failed to deliver it warm.)

Eating food that got cold...

would be horrible.

(Oh, right.)

(Suddenly, Oh Chang Seok turns on the stove.)

He's very prepared.

He's the most prepared.

(Then how will it taste?)

(Coughing)

(There's disappointment on the face of two chefs.)

(Is there a problem with the rice?)

When I tried it...

If the rice you served to save your restaurant...

is in this state...

I was the second to ring the bell.

The rice got hard during the wait.

You misunderstood.

(The problem isn't the hard rice.)

On one side of the bowl,

there's scorched rice.

(A trace of scorched rice)

You can make mistakes.

Rice can be scorched too.

However, when you were scooping the rice...

(He should have removed it.)

You should have removed it.

- I'm sorry.
- It's about the heart you put in.

(Seong Hyun Woo missed a minor detail.)

Seong Hyun Woo could have done better.

(Oh Chang Seok who was the first to finish)

The dish I prepared is...

kimchi jjigae with a lot of meat.

(Kimchi jjigae and rolled omelet)

At this restaurant, kimchi jjigae is served...

with ramyeon noodle topping.

The ramyeon noodle topping makes the broth richer and more flavourful.

That's why it's served with the topping from the start.

Suddenly, I feel hungry.

It smells good.

The smell is excellent.

He set the food like an expert.

A kimchi jjigae expert.

- Are these budae jjigae toppings?
- Yes, sir.

(Budae jjigae toppings are provided for free.)

While eating kimchi jjigae,

if you want more...

or you want some alcohol...

(Alcohol?)

If you need something to accompany the alcohol,

you can order extra toppings.

You can turn it into budae jjigae.

That's why I served it with a rolled omelet.

(Rolled omelet that goes well with the jjigae)

Sir, do you like to drink?

(Questioning starts.)

Yes, I used to like alcohol,

but I don't drink anymore.

- You don't drink anymore?
- No.

Why not?

In the past, I used to drink a lot,

and it ended up badly.

- So did you quit drinking?
- Yes.

How long has it been?

It's been over 100 days.

(He could stop drinking because he was desperate.)

Don't you have any withdrawal symptoms?

I did,

but they're disappearing now.

(He's still fighting against withdrawal symptoms.)

(From an alcoholic to a kimchi jjigae restaurant owner)

You haven't tasted it...

- because it isn't boiled yet.
- Right.

Did you keep testing it...

to find the right seasoning?

I've been to many famous...

kimchi jjigae restaurants.

Kimchi jjigae at most restaurants tasted sour.

I thought that it should be less sour...

for more people to enjoy it.

I got some advice from the owner of the third restaurant...

that I visited.

I reduced the sour taste.

Did you ask for advice from him?

Yes, I used bone broth as the base.

Did he tell you that?

Yes, he did.

Most would be unwilling to tell you.

(How did he find out the secret to the broth?)

He told me easily.

- He also told me how to make...
- You asked him haphazardly?

I told him that his was my favourite,

and kimchi jjigae at other restaurants was too sour.

I asked him how he made his kimchi jjigae.

He was happy to tell me.

- Really?
- Yes.

That's nice of him.

Most people don't tell you.

(Did Oh Chang Seok's earnest effort work?)

Please put it up here. That's good.

(They get ready to taste it.)

What?

You added so much meat. How can it be only eight dollars?

When I looked up the price for Korean pork haunch,

it was about 30 dollars per 5kg.

It's 170g per serving,

which equals one dollar.

There's also a dollar worth of kimchi.

I plan to price it at eight dollars.

(Kimchi jjigae for 1 person equals 8 dollars.)

Even when I deduct the cost of rice and seasoning,

the profit is more than 50 percent.

Instead of using expensive cuts...

like pork belly, you used something cheap.

That's how you increased the amount of meat?

That's correct.

(Slurping)

(The judges taste it seriously.)

Someone wanted to know.

Why don't you serve the kimchi jjigae after boiling it?

(Why does he serve the kimchi jjigae without cooking it?)

I have to run the restaurant by myself,

so I serve all the ingredients at once...

and have the customer cook it.

Then I can serve the next customer.

(The only contender who considered the risk of shutting down)

Well done. Please go back.

(Everyone including Oh Chang Seok has been evaluated.)

It was hard because I felt so nervous.

(Will Oh Chang Seok be able to survive?)

Now,

the consolation match...

that wasn't planned has ended.

After discussing with other judges...

on who will stay,

I'll announce the result.

(Who will be the last one to survive?)

(The moment of fate approaches.)

The result of the F grade mission,

Menu To Save Myself will be announced.

(The result of Menu To Save Myself is announced.)

Seeing them in front of me made me think...

that it could happen to me.

I kept wondering...

how many of them would survive.

I will announce...

the survivor right away.

(The survivor is announced.)

(Seong Hyun Woo, Jeon Dong Jin, Oh Chang Seok, Cho Do Yeon)

The first survivor.

This could be my last time.

My heart was beating out of my chest.

Do I have to go home? Won't they give me another chance?

What should I do?

(Who will be the first one to survive?)

Number nine, Oh Chang Seok.

(First survivor, Oh Chang Seok)

Thank you.

(Pleased)

(The contenders congratulate him sincerely.)

Number nine is...

struggling with his problem.

(Oh Chang Seok's problem was clear.)

He trembled a lot,

and he wavered a lot too.

He had a story behind his dish and showed his process.

We give him a high score on his overcoming his difficulty...

and his explanation.

(He overcame his difficulty in earnest.)

I was...

very moved by Oh Chang Seok today.

I could feel his determination...

deep from his heart.

I felt quite emotional.

I saw his eyes when he finished cooking.

(He met Oh Chang Seok's eyes when he finished cooking.)

Compared to the alcoholic in the video with his unfocused eyes,

he was completely different today.

(The wilful look of certainty)

As soon as we made eye contact, I gave him a thumbs-up.

He was really amazing.

(Thumbs-up)

I felt very happy.

I thought that I should work harder.

The second survivor is...

(Cho Do Yeon with a strong sense of pride)

(Jeon Dong Jin who makes a lot of effort)

(Seong Hyun Woo who's starting to change)

(Who will be the second to survive?)

Number three, Jeon Dong Jin.

Thank you.

(The two of them congratulate him from the bottom of their hearts.)

In the case of number three,

despite his clumsy cutting skills,

he prepped each ingredient himself.

With many bowls in front of him,

he prepped the necessary ingredients and distributed them.

Based on his growth...

that I'd like other contenders to follow,

I definitely think...

that he deserves to be praised.

As we know, your dish was served very late.

Your cooking took a long time.

However, perseverance is the most needed when working alone.

I think that...

they gave me respect for my strong will to make it.

I should work harder.

(Jeon Dong Jin, survived)

The third survivor is...

The anxiety of getting eliminated hit me.

I won't regret it even if I get eliminated.

(Who will be the third survivor?)

(Seong Hyun Woo?)

The third survivor is...

(Cho Do Yeon?)

There is none.

(There is no more survivor.)

Well done.

(Seong Hyun Woo and Cho Do Yeon are eliminated.)

(They leave the studio quietly.)

I felt sad...

even though we worked together for a short time.

We were on the same team, and we've been through a lot.

It was sad.

(Other contenders comfort them.)

Good job.

(The judges also have mixed feelings.)

What was important in the mission...

wasn't anything technical.

They should have maximized their strengths,

but they couldn't.

Through the last few missions,

if they raised their potential up to 30,

they should have raised it even higher.

It wasn't about their dish.

It was about their strong will.

Instead of boasting about being 100 percent,

you should try 110 percent to serve the customers.

People like that are...

likely to be successful when they start their business.

It's really true.

We believe that...

people like that should be selected.

- It feels bitter.
- Yes, but it can't be helped.

Good job.

I thought that I worked hard for it,

but I still seem to lack a lot.

I felt disappointed.

(That's why he feels more regretful.)

I made a big decision to be here.

Even now...

(A child deserted by parents)

I feel desperate.

The fact is that I got eliminated.

(He has to learn to accept the result.)

I have to accept the result.

(Incineration Exit)

(Those who are eliminated burn their label and leave Studio 100.)

It was short, but I learned a lot.

Regardless of my label,

I should do my best.

(We cheer for the future of Hyun Woo who removed his label.)

(It feels bittersweet for some reason.)

(Victim of domestic violence)

While being on the show,

I realized that I have a strong sense of pride.

Wait, Hyun Woo.

(He looks back on the past.)

During the team mission...

and the storytelling,

my sense of pride was too strong.

It's definitely a bummer.

I feel like I got eliminated while trying to keep my pride.

I want to advise them not to let their pride stand in the way.

The challenge is over now.

(However, Cho Do Yeon's life will continue.)

But I still have a lot to live.

It will be a new life after this experience.

That's what I thought.

(We cheer for Cho Do Yeon's new life.)

(One day in August, at K Japanese restaurant in Yeouido)

(Oh Chang Seok is deep in thought.)

(I will write you a letter from time to time.)

(A letter from his father after 10 years)

(Chang Seok, it's your 37th birthday.)

(I think that you stopped drinking. You did the right thing.)

(I'm waiting for the day...)

(when you'll contact me with dignity.)

When I saw my father's message, I wanted to respond.

Without a job or money saved,

I kept drinking.

I wanted to die,

so I didn't respond.

(Can't he contact him by now?)

(On the 4th month of giving up alcohol,)

(Oh Chang Seok musters the courage and calls his father.)

(The tone sounds longer today.)

Hello?

- Hello?
- Hello.

- This is Chang Seok.
- Yes.

- Have you been well?
- Yes.

How are you doing?

- I...
- What?

- I stopped...
- What?

I stopped drinking.

- You stopped drinking?
- Yes.

It's been over 100 days.

It's been over 100 days since I stopped drinking.

- It's been over 100 days?
- Yes.

Gosh, Chang Seok.

Are you healthier now?

Yes.

You know what was strange yesterday?

I saw you in my dreams.

- Yesterday?
- Yes.

- Really?
- Yes.

In my dream,

I saw you as a child.

It was because you were going to call me.

I guess so.

I wondered if I did the right thing.

I wasn't sure if it was right.

(Oh Chang Seok promised to see his father after 10 years.)

(The next day)

Is that you, Chang Seok?

You've changed a lot.

- Right?
- Yes.

Let me take a look at you.

Don't cry.

(Don't cry.)

It's been a long time.

Don't cry.

I started crying when I saw his eyes.

It was nothing, but why did it make me cry?

I couldn't sleep last night.

(He stopped contacting his father due to alcohol.)

I also broke out in a cold sweat.

It's been over ten years, right?

Did you miss me?

(Did you miss me?)

I cried every night while thinking about you.

(Chang Seok was always on his father's mind.)

I loved you the most.

That's why it hurt the most.

You should know that.

It's how I truly feel.

When I heard that you were trying to change,

I felt very happy.

Now that I saw my father, I'll work hard.

Even if I lose, I'll try my best to win without regrets.

I'd like to pay back...

to my father and the chefs who encouraged me.

I will move up no matter what.

(Will Oh Chang Seok succeed?)

(This time, it's meat.)

(There was a feeling of being overwhelmed.)

(Cracking)

(Is that what we're doing?)

(A chaotic rage of missions)

(It was very difficult.)

(The contenders are getting exhausted.)

(Complaints are piling up.)

(Their first intention is getting hazy.)

(Looking at pork makes me want to vomit.)

(Conflicts begin to surface.)

(The emotional conflict gets deeper.)

(Hong In Taek announces that he can't use the knife.)

(Is he giving up on the mission?)

What's the matter?

(He's giving up on the mission.)

(The renunciation makes Paik Jong Won furious.)

(He's a fool.)

(Seriously.)

(How will the chaotic mission end?)
