You're good at Korean.

SURPRISED

Just a little.

IT TURNS OUT SHE CAN SPEAK A LITTLE KOREAN

But this...

WHILE WE'RE AT IT, LET'S ASK HER!

I wonder if the spice is okay. Can you ask her to try?

It's really good. Really good.

Yes, she said she likes it.

This actually tastes the best because it's the last bit of broth left.

He was saying, it, like...

Yeah, it was like the last, like…

The most recent one made, so…

Yeah, let her know that the taste is the fullest.

Yeah, it feels fresh. That's for sure. Thank you.
