How Do You Play? (놀면 뭐하니?)

(9 a.m., Namdong Industrial Complex, Incheon)

I wish the weather would get a little warmer.

It has.

Hello, everyone.

Good morning.

Where are our other friends?

You're split into office workers and college students...

for My Friend's Table.

- This friend? - "My Friend's Table?"

No.

An office worker friend will join you.

Here?

Who is that friend?

What's he doing?

Why is his hair tied back?

He's hilarious.

- Is Woo Il our friend today? - Hey.

- What's up? - What's this?

- What's with the hair? - What's with you, Woo Il?

- It's a pleasure. - What's a pleasure?

- Hello. - Hello.

What's this bit of hair?

Are you Heartsping or what?

Heartsping?

- Why are you dressed like this? - It's nice to see you.

Your hair looks like a turban shell.

Why... There's a turban shell.

It's the hottest look in kindergarten.

- Yes. - What's going on?

So, I tried a good many styles.

You look so cute today.

Why did you do your hair like that?

Your wild hair is your trademark.

- I'm here two weeks in a row. - Right.

I should look different today.

How come you're here twice in a row?

Two weeks in a row is a first for me.

- It is. - Yes.

No program ever asked me to come on twice in a row.

- You're family now. - Yes.

- So today, I wanted to... - Yes.

- treat you to a meal. - Okay.

I wanted to thank you.

Oh, really?

I'm dressed like this because we're going somewhere a bit formal.

I might as well greet everyone properly.

Woo Il is here.

Nice.

- What was that? - Me being classy.

It feels strange to see Heartsping in real life.

It's like Heartsping talking.

Heartsping's pretty old now.

That's true. My age...

(Woo Il-ping took a direct hit to the face.)

- You're so cute. - I debuted late...

and took too long.

I took way too long,

and it took such a long time to get here.

- Woo Il... - But you're here now.

Woo Il debuted over 20 years ago.

I've been on TV...

- for 15, 16 years now. - Yes.

I prepared for that for 4 to 5 years.

I've been around for 20 years.

You took a while. Are things good now?

- These days, every day, - Yes.

I get up with a smile on my face.

- For the past year. - You don't feel uneasy...

that this joy will end?

No. Because...

I'm used to being miserable.

This isn't "You Quiz on the Block."

- You're right. - You suddenly...

asked that question.

I should've said something cheerful. I apologize.

- Woo Il has a lot to say. - I do.

For today's My Friend's Table,

- Woo Il's recommended restaurant. - Yes.

- That's where we're going? - Right.

Good. Where do we go, then?

- Just follow me. - Really?

I'll be your satellite navigation.

- Good. Shall we set off? - Yes.

Let's go.

- Woo Il, you can relax. - Okay.

There's no pressure.

Got it.

This place...

In industrial complexes like this,

a lot of good restaurants are tucked away.

(There are good restaurants here that open this early?)

I came up with a restaurant that doesn't serve heavy dishes.

Wait. Is it budae jjigae?

- And samgyetang? - If it's budae jjigae,

- you'll have my approval. - Hello.

- Budae jjigae would be great. - I see.

We can add ramyeon noodles to the stew.

- Hey, hangover soup sounds good. - Great.

But isn't that too heavy?

- Why would that be too heavy? - What are you talking about?

- It's... - Why would that be heavy?

- Then name a dish that's not heavy. - Well,

you guys are pointing out...

- dishes that could be a full meal. - Then are we having cereal?

Sure.

If it's not a full meal, what are we getting?

I wanted to keep this restaurant to myself,

but it became way too famous.

- This is the place. - Rice cake soup?

- It's a tteokbokki restaurant? - It's a tteokbokki restaurant.

You want to eat tteokbokki for breakfast?

(Namdong Industrial Complex is located in Incheon.)

(This tteokbokki restaurant is a welcome sight in the complex.)

(A filling meal to satisfy hunger before work)

- It opens at... Take a look. - What?

- It opens at 7 a.m. - It opens at 7 a.m?

- It opens at 7 a.m. - It opens at 7 a.m.

- People are really eating inside. - Yes.

- I can't believe this. - You see this kind of stuff...

at popular restaurants. You know?

"We may close early when we run out of ingredients."

This sign is a symbol of a good restaurant.

I've never had tteokbokki in the morning.

- Right. And... - Not even once.

- Wait. Listen, my friend. - Yes.

This is our breakfast.

- I saw a budae jjigae place too. - A cafe?

- And... - Look.

- Yes. - I guess this is a famous place.

Yes. This place is very popular.

What is it famous for?

We're at a tteokbokki restaurant. What kind of answer did you expect?

What kind of question is that?

- It's famous for tteokbokki. - So it's tteokbokki.

I mean, this tteokbokki could be popular for a reason.

- I keep thinking about it. - Is that so?

- The flavor is memorable? - Yes.

- Thank you. - Thank you. All right.

- Shall we go inside? - This is...

- Hello. - My gosh.

Weren't you leaving?

Are you trying to come out or go back inside?

Are you a gatekeeper?

I see. You're the daughter of the owner?

I'm just here to watch.

- To watch? - To watch us?

- Then... - You're making many mistakes today.

- Listen. - Why do you keep making mistakes?

- Where did she go? - She's not the daughter.

(He makes 2 mistakes in a row this morning.)

- Should we go inside? - This... Yes.

- I see many people eating inside. - Let's go inside.

- My gosh, hello. - Tteokbokki for breakfast?

It's quite early now. But there are already customers.

- They're busy even in the morning. - Hello.

I see. They also have jjolmyeon.

- Hello. - This must be a good restaurant.

- My gosh, hello. - Enjoy your food.

What?

How is tteokbokki this cheap?

- This is unbelievable. - It's so cheap.

- Hello. - Please mark your orders here.

Sure. Great.

- How long has this been around? - Pardon?

I heard it had been over 20 years.

- Right? Where's the owner? - I see.

The owner is over there.

I see. The owner is still there.

- Great. Gimbap. - Okay.

- I'll order 1 since it's breakfast. - Order 1.

Three-dollar gimbap?

- I know, right? All right. - Let's order rabokki.

Let's order rabokki.

- Jjolmyeon is right under that. - Jjolmyeon.

- Sundae. - Three eggs too.

- That looks good for now. - Let's order these.

The girl we saw from earlier is over there.

Hello.

They didn't have school today?

No. We're going on a trip today.

- Gosh, that's amazing. - A trip?

Where are you guys going?

We're going to Vietnam.

- Today? - Yes.

- Today? - Gosh, that sounds great.

Have fun. Where in Vietnam?

- Da Nang. - I see. Da Nang.

Well, there will be so many Korean tourists.

- It's like going to a Koreatown. - Indeed.

Da Nang is like going to a Korean city.

- Our food is here. - We get our food right away.

Gosh, this looks great.

(The snack bar food looks appetizing.)

Look at the color of this.

- Gosh, what's this? - My goodness.

This is the main dish.

This is the traditional style.

- Right. - Right?

(The tteokbokki already tastes great as it is.)

(But a generous amount of fishcakes and noodles...)
