YU JAE-SEOK
DEBUTED IN 1991
Throughout my career, I've done countless variety shows.
I'm still doing them now. But out of all of those experiences,
this is unique and completely new for me.
It's something I've never done before.
A FIRST-TIME EXPERIENCE
It's not a guesthouse. It's a B&B.
Let's break that down.
It's a large group of people staying for three days and two nights.
You can't go out. That's the rule here.
We'll step away from our everyday lives.
We're here to have fun together.
You don't need to worry about anything. Just relax and enjoy yourselves.
Oh, that was thrilling! This is why I do this. This is why.
So the only requirement is that while they are here,
I hope they talk nonstop, play hard, hold nothing back,
and mess around to their hearts' content.
A fantasy world that feels like a dream.
I feel like I'm dreaming right now.
Hang on. Do people who run B&B's usually do this?
I'm not used to cooking this much food. This should be good, right, Ye-eun?
-I think so. -Whoa, hey!
It's the little things that make a difference.
We're doing it all.
A hot Saturday! Let's kick it off right.
We have to work all day while we're here.
Even the owner doesn't get a break.
Geez. God, I'm dead tired.
0 DAYS OF B&B EXPERIENCE
Sorry, I don't have time to help you guys.
ROOKIE B&B OWNER YU JAE-SEOK
Ow! My arms hurt!
This whole system is ridiculous. We're working like dogs!
JOB SCAM VICTIM LEE KWANG-SOO
-Step aside. -No, wait.
My beanie fell down over my eyes.
Are these the eggs for gyeran-mari?
Are there eggs for gyeran-mari?
I'm totally out of it right now.
BUMBLING NEWBIE BYEON WOO-SEOK
I'm so tired.
Oh! I must be out of my mind.
SCATTERBRAINED MAKNAE JI YE-EUN
You can't even handle one show on your own?
While you're here, I hope you get a break from work
and enjoy your three days and two nights with us.
Here we go!
JAE-SEOK'S B&B RULES!
ONE MONTH BEFORE THE OPENING OF JAE-SEOK'S B&B
SEPTEMBER 2025 STAFF KICKOFF MEETING
Wow. There are so many beautiful places in Toechon.
This place is huge.
It's my first time here, so I hope I don't get lost.
Oh, there it is.
I'm Yu Jae-seok, the host and overall chief of staff
at Jae-seok's B&B.
Yeah.
It's been a while since I've been on Netflix.
I've worked with Netflix before, but it's good to be back, so thank you.
GOOD TO BE BACK, NETFLIX
Here he comes. Over there.
Wow.
Look at this guy!
THE TALL AND HANDSOME FIRST STAFF MEMBER ARRIVES
With you here, this feels like a teen romance movie.
I think you got even better looking!
-Thank you. -You good?
Uh, yeah, hello. I'm, uh…
I'm Byeon Woo-seok, and I'm part of Jae-seok's B&B.
JAE-SEOK'S B&B STAFF MEMBER
This is my first time doing a variety show like this,
so, yeah, I guess I was a little scared.
But then they told me that Jae-seok was going to be hosting,
and I really liked the idea of relaxing in a dreamlike location,
so I eventually worked up the nerve and decided to give it a shot.
I was like, "It'd be great if Woo-seok joined us, but would he?"
Here you are.
Well, honestly, I had a hard time deciding.
-It wasn't easy. -What made you hesitate?
Well, you know, this is my first time doing this sort of thing, and…
I was a bit worried that if I showed too much of myself on variety shows,
-it might affect my future roles. -I see.
You know, it was silly.
I mean, I was getting worked up over nothing.
No, those aren't silly concerns. They're totally valid.
So, yeah, I was worried about that.
But I heard this was gonna be relaxing, so…
-Relaxing? -Is it not?
Did I get played? Is this gonna be intense?
Well, I mean, whatever it is, if you want it to be relaxing, it can be.
Okay.
Hi, Hyung!
Hello!
Oh, hey!
Lee Kwang-soo.
-Hello! -Come here.
-Hello. -Hi, Woo-seok!
-Hello. -Come on up.
-Hey, Kwang-soo. -Hello, there.
I'm Lee Kwang-soo, the second-in-command at Jae-seok's B&B.
Nice to meet you.
I'm right below Jae-seok. I'm kind of like a department head.
No, I won't be abusing my power or anything.
I prefer a peaceful workplace.
I just think we need to have some sort of hierarchy and boundaries.
PEACEFULLY DESIGNING A HIERARCHY
I'm the one with the experience.
I'll help with whatever I can. I like being youngest.
-Hey, Ye-eun. -I'm really worried.
Oh, my stomach.
Have a seat over there.
Oh, actually…
Just so you know, Ye-eun's still recovering right now.
-Yeah. -Oh.
-Oh, green and red. -Huh?
That's so funny.
-Wait. What's funny about green and red? -I mean…
You just think it's funny seeing us next to a handsome guy like Woo-seok?
I don't think she's talking about me, Hyung.
-You're in this too. -I fit right in.
Why are your teeth rotten?
-It's for a role. -I can't stop looking at your teeth.
-I dunno what to do. -Be quiet.
-His teeth are rotten? -I said it's for a role!
I have to explain this to everyone I meet. It's driving me crazy.
All right. Anyway, I'm the host of the B&B.
-Right. -And you three are the resident staff.
Okay, I have a question. You're the owner, right?
-That's right. -So what's your management philosophy?
-Oh. -My philosophy?
-Good question. That's important. -Right to the point.
Well, I want this to be a place for people to come
who are tired of their everyday lives.
A place where they can step away from it all
and at least for this moment, laugh, talk and just have fun.
-So it's a retreat? -A retreat.
-Listen, Woo-seok. -That's what it sounds like.
Why do you keep on calling this a retreat?
-I came here to relax! -Okay, well, you'll have time for that.
We can make it all happen.
Okay, so I'm thinking we should at least have some sort of basic schedule,
so that when people come, they get a nice mix.
-Yeah, that's right. -Some big events, some small.
-That's a good idea. -We need to keep them busy or else.
Now, there are a lot of things people wanna try.
You know, the games and activities we do on variety shows.
Oh, the games they watch on TV?
-Like charades and stuff. -That's right.
The cushion quiz!
-Got it! -Got it!
-No! -Oh! I must be out of my mind.
This is the game that makes him a living national treasure.
It's morning!
Sing and have fun
Not warmed up. Ah, yeah. Okay. Next.
We were planning to play some games they've only seen on TV.
I wanna try them too.
-I've never played either. -Woo-seok hasn't played much.
-All of you are playing too, of course. -What about a campfire?
-Ah! Great idea! -Oh, with candles?
We're having a ceremony.
-A campfire too? -That's right, on the second night.
THE MOST SPECTACULAR
CAMPFIRE AWAITS
Don't cry.
AND THE UNWRITTEN RULE OF A CAMPFIRE
Al right, let it out.
I feel so silly. I never imagined I'd cry.
I feel like I'm the one who got to recharge.
If we have a campfire, people are definitely gonna cry.
-Wow, we're really doing this. -I love it.
But what's the most important thing of all?
-Memories. -No.
SLAP
Why are you like this?
The most important thing is safety.
Our job is to make sure that all of our guests remain safe during their stay here.
-Sure. -Absolutely.
We need to make sure our top priorities are that they stay safe,
make fun memories, enjoy their time with us here,
and then return to their everyday lives.
-That's our biggest goal. -That's right.
Shall we go?
This is our B&B. It's my first time here too.
Oh, really?
-Wait, you've never been here before? -Yeah, I've never seen it.
TOECHON-MYEON, GWANGJU-SI, GYEONGGI-DO
FAR FROM THE CITY
FRESH AIR AND CLEAN WATER
DEEP IN THE MOUNTAINS
A 3,000-PYEONG COMPLEX
YOUTH TRAINING CENTER
JAE-SEOK'S B&B
-Now, the construction isn't done yet. -Wow, I'm excited.
Whoa.
Whoa, what's that?
Is that something we're making?
-Yeah, it's unfinished. -What?
-We're working on it. -But what is it for?
-I didn't know it would be this big! -I know, right?
-It looks like a gymnasium. -You're right.
-It's still in the middle of construction. -Yeah.
B&B MAP
OUTDOOR STAGE, GYM, SNACK BAR, DINING AREA, ASSEMBLY PLATFORM
GYMNASIUM
-Yeah, so the gymnasium here is the dorm. -It's huge.
This was originally a gym, but they've kind of remodeled it.
Wow.
-Huh? What? -Wow.
There was a door right there. You completely missed it.
-It was open. -This looks great!
-Whoa. This looks great! -Wow!
Whoa!
-This is amazing. -It's huge.
This is gonna be great.
I can see us doing something in the middle here.
He's been saying "you were" for, like, the last 20 hours.
WHERE EVERYONE GATHERS, LAUGHS, CHATS
AND SLEEPS
-Whoa! -This is the perfect size for a group.
-We can have so many people. -Yeah, we can have a ton.
There must be a lot.
So here's something I'm kind of torn about:
sleeping outdoors as a penalty, because a lot of them might want to, for sure.
-It could be their dream. -Definitely.
When else would you have the chance to?
That could be an experience they actually want to have.
-It could turn into a nice memory. -It'll be healing.
Oh, and here's the important thing:
The three of you will each be in charge of a team.
-Oh. -So…
-Oh, one for each of us? -We're each in charge of a team?
We'd have to…
You'd have to sleep outside with them, just so you know.
Wait, that's…
-Maybe we can talk about this later. -We'll workshop it.
Yeah, we'll talk more about it, but that's just what I'm thinking.
Now, to get up to the staff quarters, we have to go this way.
Oh!
THE SECOND FLOOR IS THE STAFF QUARTERS
Watch your step.
So this is the room that Woo-seok, me…
-And Kwang-soo? -…and Kwang-soo will be using.
Wow.
Common area?
Yes, the common area. We'll have… the microphone for announcements.
It's our control room.
This is where we do the wake-up call, for example.
Good morning, everyone. We've got a little surprise for you.
I'll see you in a bit.
We'll see you all tomorrow morning.
See you tomorrow.
EXPECT A FLOOD OF BROADCASTS FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT ELF
-This is bigger than I thought. -Exactly.
-I'm feeling a bit of pressure. -All right, let's go.
You know, you can bring some personal items.
-Really? -Yeah, bring your stuffed animal.
-Stuffed animal? Why would I… -Bring your stuffy.
-I don't have one. -You don't?
-For me, it's my pillow. -Oh, then bring it.
You can't sleep without it, right?
I guess I sleep a little better with it.
You can bring your own bedding.
-I like that. I should do that too. -Yeah, your own bedding.
Where are the bathrooms? That's the most important part.
-I guess those are the bathrooms. -It's so big.
-Oh, here. -Over here.
The bathrooms are important.
-So it's just a standard bathroom. -Yeah, just the usual.
Once we open the B&B, we should clean these somewhat regularly.
-Yeah, for sure. -We need to clean them.
-We'll get a humidifier. -Oh, yeah. That's a good idea.
We've got to keep the temperature just right so they can sleep.
-Right. -And for the smell.
Make them comfortable. And also, outlets for charging the phones.
-Oh, good point. -Oh, yeah. Chargers.
-That's what matters. -Exactly.
Even though we've renovated the gymnasium,
once you're away from home,
things are bound to feel a little uncomfortable, right?
So we're thinking through the areas we really need to pay extra attention to,
hoping to minimize that discomfort as much as possible.
-Let's head out. -All right, let's go.
Since we're here, we should walk around
-and give everything a thorough check. -Yeah, good idea.
CURRENT LOCATION
So look over here.
NEXT, CHECKING THE OUTDOOR AREA
Great for group exercise.
-You'll go up there. -That's right.
I'll be up here, and everyone will be like…
Attention!
At ease!
-Who does that at a B&B? -Everyone!
Actually, they do.
-They do this at a B&B? -They all do.
-I know they do at retreats. -They all do this stuff.
Because you have to remember, head-count checks
are actually one of the most important tasks we all have as a staff.
-That's true. -Oh, okay.
So first of all, this B&B will run on a strict schedule.
Everyone's gotta stick to it.
It's important when you're staying with other people.
JAE-SEOK'S B&B RULES!
A JAM-PACKED SCHEDULE AWAITS
So here's my biggest concern.
We're going to have to cook in bulk.
Anyway, come this way.
Hyung, what are you doing?
-Why's he running? -Come!
-What's this about? -Come here!
How about this?
It's a kitchen.
We are running a B&B here,
so we have a responsibility to provide three meals a day.
That's a given.
-We do. -It's one of the most basic rules.
-And we can't serve the same dish twice. -That's right.
But cooking is…
Does the staff ever get to eat?
-I know, right? -Let's sit down and talk.
So here's my concern.
The meals are really important here.
But to be honest, I'm not sure we can pull it off.
Three meals sounds tough. If it were one, we could handle it.
-You think? -We definitely could.
But I don't know. Making breakfast, lunch and dinner every day?
WORRIED
Listen, Woo-seok. Is there anything you can make?
I think I can make something like gyeran-mari.
Are you good at it?
I've made it once.
HUH?
-In your life? -Yeah.
I could make anything if I tried. How's kimchi-jjigae?
-Really? -Yeah.
All right then.
Let's test out making something we think we can handle and taste it.
-Oh, you mean right now? -Yeah, to see if we can.
-We've got to see. -We can't serve bad food.
If it's bad, we can't serve it.
All right. Woo-seok, you make the gyeran-mari.
-Ye-eun… -Stir-fried pork?
-Yeah. -We gotta do stir-fried pork.
-Stir-fried pork. And Kwang-soo-- -Kimchi-jjigae.
Right. For breakfast, we should keep it simple.
-I can make a really simple sandwich. -Sandwiches!
-Ooh, great idea. -That's a great idea.
-All right, let's go. -Whoa, this is unexpected.
I wasn't ready for this.
None of us, myself included, are good cooks,
so I was like, "Can we really do this?"
The only way to know how this will turn out is to actually try it,
so I figured we make a few dishes and see how it goes.
INGREDIENTS THEY BOUGHT THEMSELVES
Since we're doing this ourselves,
we should taste everything and see what needs improving.
-Or quickly decide not to serve it. -Yeah.
If something doesn't seem like it'll work, we should switch it out.
-Don't take it personally. -Okay.
If it tastes bad, I'll just say.
-Let's be honest. -Works for me.
Woo-seok's got another thing to do today, so he has to leave at 3:30.
-Ah. -Keep that in mind.
Then I should hurry.
-If we're cutting things over here-- -Out of my way!
COMPETING FROM THE START
-Okay, what's first? -You don't know?
-Why did you offer to make it? -I do, I just need to look it up.
You don't know? Why did you offer to make it?
Hyung?
-Do you know how this works? -What is it?
It won't go down.
LOOKING AROUND
Do we have a big bowl?
-I need to beat the eggs. -You need a mixing bowl.
CAREFUL
TAKING FOREVER TO CRACK AN EGG
I've honestly never really cooked before,
so I was like, "This could be a total disaster."
That's why I went with eggs.
They're the safest option I could think of.
What comes next?
MEANWHILE, YE-EUN STILL DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
-Ye-eun. -Yes?
-You can make it, right? -Oh, totally.
I'm actually pretty good at cooking when I try.
I used to be bad, but I think I've gotten better.
I think it's best if we keep expectations low from the beginning.
Honestly, it's the way to go.
KWANG-SOO GOES WITH A "LOW EXPECTATIONS" STRATEGY
FLINCHING
Is it too high?
Ye-eun, that's…
IS SHE CUTTING CAKE?
Why isn't this working?
-What's not working? -This thing doesn't work.
-Oh, there it is. -It works. See?
Right, thank you.
I just gotta roll it, right?
Taste beats appearance, right?
THE SALT GOES IN LATE
Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
Like I said, I was thinking that we could make this sandwich for breakfast.
We don't have any plates, so I'll just use this.
-Are you all done? Oh, everyone's done. -I'm done.
-I'm done too. -That was quick.
There's hope after all.
-Don't take it personally. -Don't worry, I know.
STARTING WITH WOO-SEOK'S GYERAN-MARI
I don't know. It might not make the menu.
-It might be cold. I finished it early. -Mine's warm.
Oh, nice.
NERVOUS
Oh, yeah, that's… just gyeran-mari.
-With a dish like this… -He didn't do much.
…it's kind of hard to say whether it's good or bad.
It's just eggs cooked in a pan.
-It's just eggs. -Still, he did good.
It's just how I like my gyeran-mari.
Mmm, so good!
-Sure, it's good, but… -It just tastes like eggs.
I don't know if it's that good. It does look nice though.
-I like it with ketchup. Yeah. -Oh, yeah.
-We should get some ketchup too. -People can add that.
-I give it my vote. -I do too.
-Next. -My pork dish.
-Stir-fried pork. -I'm curious about this.
Be honest, okay?
I mean, don't just say it's bad because you're trying to be funny.
Wow. It's actually good.
JUMPS THE GUN ON THE REVIEW
-Don't take this the wrong way. -Okay.
If this were a restaurant, I wouldn't come back.
TASTING IT ONCE IS ENOUGH
-Ah. You're right about that. -You know what?
-You're right. I mean, it's good, but… -It's good.
Just not good enough to make me wanna come back.
-Just-- Yes? -If I had to rate it?
One and a half stars. Give or take.
The reviews are in. Ye-eun, this needs improvement.
-I'll work on it. I'm on it. -Needs something to make it pop.
The noodles have gotten a little soggy.
-Kwang-soo, don't be offended. -I won't.
-No, really. -Don't be.
Hyung, seriously, don't.
Why are you all saying that? You haven't even tasted it.
Try it. Try the tofu and the broth.
Try it.
Kwang-soo's dish is good.
-Wow, Hyung, it's really good. -Wow.
Wow, it's good.
-It is. -What did you put in it?
-It's exactly how I like kimchi-jjigae. -It's really good, seriously.
It's delicious.
-Were you always this good at cooking? -I'm confident in my kimchi-jjigae.
Kimchi-jjigae seems like the easiest dish to make,
-but it's actually really hard. -Mmm, it's not.
-No seasoning packets? -No, I swear.
Wow, this would be so good with rice.
-Hey, we're going to serve this for sure. -Mmm.
Okay, next up is my sandwich.
You might want to fold it in half. I will say it's better when it's warm.
IS JAE-SEOK'S DISH BREAKFAST-WORTHY?
IT MAKES YOU DROP YOUR HEAD
IS IT THAT BAD?
-You can't really mess this up. -It's like, no matter what you do,
it'll taste good.
It's basically pre-made.
Wait a second.
HOW BAD CAN IT BE?
-I don't know. -Are you sure you aren't just full?
If I was ranking them, this would be fourth place.
4TH OUT OF 4 DISHES
It's bad.
I don't think this is what you had in mind.
Yeah, what is this?
It's not good.
IT'S BAD… I ADMIT IT…
Also… the texture. The bread is soggy.
The combination of the cheese and strawberry jam just tastes weird.
I don't know why he used this cheese. It's for kids.
I think you should just start over.
The ingredients just don't work.
Well, I'll definitely keep in mind all of the critiques you guys had.
This sandwich completely ruined the day for us.
-How about more salt? -Or maybe just add a little more jam?
I told you, that's not the problem. It's not just about the salt or jam.
-We need to throw it away and start over. -Hold on. Yeah.
I really appreciate the enthusiastic feedback, but…
-So when we serve the food, it-- -Oh!
Woo-seok has to go.
I'm telling you. If you don't listen to me, it'll be a disaster.
-I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. -This is important!
-So I should go? -Go.
All right. I'll go.
He's actually leaving?
-Hyung, I'm going now. -He's really something, isn't he?
-He can't leave. -Why not?
-He can't just take off! -Sure, he can.
-Sorry, gotta go. -Wait, you're telling me he's serious?
-See you, Woo-seok. -I'll see you.
You should keep practicing the gyeran-mari.
-Got it. -Okay.
-Goodbye. -Is this a joke?
Go on.
Bye.
See you.
-So can we go too? -No, we can't.
BY THE WAY…
-How many people are walking him out? -That's our entire crew!
Seriously.
The camera's still rolling here. Where are they going?
Wait, just how many people are walking him out?
Aren't we filming right now? Are you not gonna use this footage?
-I need a clear answer. -I agree with you.
If you're not using this footage, I'm leaving too!
FURIOUS OVER POOR TREATMENT
Anyway, the silver lining is that the kimchi-jjigae's a definite yes.
Speaking of this one…
BACK TO DISSING THE SANDWICH
-While we're on the subject… -Enough.
It fell.
What just fell?
It should be blueberry.
Honestly, now that Woo-seok's gone, I can tell you.
He picked the wrong jam.
Hey, is there any blueberry jam?
-This is blueberry. -Oh, good, good.
Wow, they have the right one?
You're holding a grudge?
HIS SECRET PETTY SIDE
-Let's put it behind us. -All right, yeah.
I wonder how many guests will show up.
OVER 60,000 TEAMS APPLIED TO JOIN
Hello.
In 34 years…
This is a first.
If it's with Yu Jae-seok, anything would be fun.
"Yu Jae-seok." That says it all.
-A Yu Jae-seok B&B. -I think that's all the reason you need.
-Since it's "Jae-seok's B&B." -Games!
-The Delivery Box. -The Cushion Quiz.
-A wake-up mission. -Talent show.
-A campfire. -We could have a barbecue.
Chatting 24/7.
AS EXPECTED OF A B&B, A BIG CROWD OF GUESTS IS WAITING
I was really surprised by the response.
I don't really have much experience handling a big crowd,
so I put a lot of thought into making sure we're fully prepared
and have plenty to offer.
And I'm a bit worried about having two different groups, but…
I still think it'll be fun seeing the different energy they both bring.
Q. HOW MANY GUESTS ARE YOU EXPECTING PER GROUP?
Well, I'm thinking around ten or so.
Maybe eight? Could be a bit less though.
ONE MONTH AFTER THE KICKOFF MEETING
OCTOBER 2025 B&B OPENING DAY
You're looking fancy.
Are those gold or silver?
-They're probably fake. -Fourteen-karat?
-I'm done. -Gold has gotten pricey.
-No, Hyung, come on. -No! Please don't take them off.
Wow, they really set it up. Was that here last time?
-What? -That sign.
-Now that's what I'm talking about. -A welcome sign! Wow!
Wow!
JAE-SEOK'S B&B
-That must be new. -Right.
That's so cool.
It looks like a real B&B.
Look at the welcome signs. That must be Jae-seok with the glasses.
Where?
-Oh, that's clearly Jae-seok. -Who's that?
IT'S ME
Who's that? Hyung!
Wow! Look at you!
Where did you get that whistle?
-All right, all right. Hey. -Sunbae.
My staff.
-Did you bring your pillow? -I brought my pillow.
-I brought mine too. -Why did you bring your pillow?
Well, I need to sleep well to work, don't I?
-That's a really cute outfit. -Look at this. It's your character.
-So cute! -Oh, yeah.
I got this patch of my character for them to put on my shirt.
-It's cute. -What happened to your teeth?
-Come on, you always say that. -Earrings too.
-Wait, earrings? -No, it's not a thing.
Why'd you show up like that? It's annoying!
It's a bit too much, right?
Hey! You said it was fine! You told me to wear them!
-What is the matter with you? -He wouldn't take them off.
-Check it out. "Jae-seok's B&B." -It's cool. It's cute.
-This gives me a sense of responsibility. -I'm getting nervous too.
Come on in, then. Let's get to it.
Don't be surprised when you go inside, okay?
It's gonna look totally different from how it was a month ago. Come on.
-Look at that balloon up there. -Wow! It's pretty!
-"The guest is king." -It's really cute.
Hey, I've never seen a sign like that before.
-What's that? -It looks like the dealerships.
-How about that? -Whoa! What's that?
-An outdoor gym? -That's insane!
-Look at that! -It looks real!
GYM, SNACK BAR, DINING AREA
Whoa!
OUTDOOR STAGE
Wow. That's insane.
WATERFALL
EVEN LATE AT NIGHT
THE B&B WILL SHINE BRIGHTLY
Can you believe how much it's changed?
It looks amazing.
Seriously, I was so blown away by this.
-It's crazy! -Blown away by the hard work.
-Is that real water? -Check it out.
-We weren't gone that long. -Leave the bags. Leave them here.
-Let's check out the dining area first. -This is insane!
Wow. We've got tables now.
It looks like there are enough seats for at least 20 people.
-This is crazy. -We probably won't have that many.
-Why are there so many seats? -There are, like, 20 seats here…
It's more like 30.
Actually, you're right. Closer to 30.
Tables of four. One, two, three, four, five, six.
-Twenty-eight people. -Okay.
CALCULATION ERROR
This rice cooker is huge.
Why so many dishes?
Have you ever used a rice cooker like this?
I haven't.
Me neither.
You can find anything on YouTube these days.
You worried about messing up the rice?
We've got a fridge and some storage down here.
There's a fridge down there? We need to see where everything is.
We should prep some banchan ahead of time.
-We've got all the basic seasonings. -Yeah.
Check this out. After each meal, they can…
They can give feedback.
Oh, so they vote using the balls.
-We're all used to getting reviews. -Oh, boy.
-Uh-oh. -Satisfactory, so-so or unsatisfactory?
We're running a B&B, so if anyone's unsatisfied,
-we'll need to make improvements. -Yeah, that's right.
-We'll fix the problems. -That's right.
-Maybe one of us keeps an eye on this? -Come over here.
Take a look at the drinks.
-Wow, a snack bar. -It's stocked!
-We got everything! -Ice cream.
Ice cream. Look at the options! Amazing, huh?
Wow. B.B.Big!
-That's tasty. -I love this one.
Wow.
-Wow. -This is great.
Oh! Samanco! Would you look at that?
Hyung, stop opening and closing the freezer.
Come look over here.
OUTDOOR GYM
This is crazy.
-These machines look solid. -Yeah, they're top of the line.
-This is super awesome. -We've got all the essentials.
Take a look at that waterfall.
-This is insane. Totally insane. -Honestly,
-this right here is my favorite place. -Me too.
I've seen a café with one of these.
People will line up for a place like this.
-They got 'em on Jeju Island. -That's right.
This place is awesome.
-It really surprised me. -The water's great.
-Hey, it's real water! -Yeah.
I can't believe they made an actual waterfall!
I was shocked.
Honestly, I wanted to take my pants off and jump in there.
It's that good.
Let's go check out the dorm.
-I'm so excited. -Here's the dorm.
They did an amazing job here too.
-For real? -Check it out.
This is wild!
It looks so good in here.
JAE-SEOK'S B&B RULES!
-Wow. -It's like a fairy tale.
The colors are great.
What's this?
Wait a second. That's for your luggage, right?
A STORAGE SPACE?
Give it a pull.
Pull it?
What?
So cool.
MOBILE BEDS
WITH INDIVIDUAL OUTLETS & LIGHTS
YOU CAN MOVE THEM ANYWHERE
We put a lot of thought into the type of bedding too.
-Look. -This all looks really nice.
-Isn't it great? -Super nice!
I want to sleep here too.
There are so many beds, so I was wondering,
are we expecting that many guests, or did they set up extras just in case?
Wait, there are 24 beds?
HOW MANY GUESTS ARE COMING?
All right. Now, let's see.
I've got my uniform, and we've got these ones here for you all as well.
Here. For you, Woo-seok.
Thank you.
-Is it the one you're wearing? -Yeah.
We should all be wearing these for the orientation.
Yes, I agree.
-Wow, those towels are so cute. -Check out the towels.
Are these for us?
-They're for the guests. -We should hand them out.
Yeah, but we should make sure to fold them first before we do.
-Hey, what's this? -They're so soft.
You know how hotels put something like this on the bed
-for the guests at check-in? -Nice touch.
-So, it's like a welcoming gift. -Great idea.
-It won't take long to set up. -Flower petals too?
You know, on the bed, around the teddy bear.
We need little touches like this. It shows we care.
-Sure, but still… -It's all about the little things.
-You're right. -I believe that.
They said they're going to get here somewhere around 11:00.
-Oh, I can set an alarm. -Okay.
In that case, the first thing we've got to do is make lunch.
Oh, right, we have to cook.
-We're having lunch already? -Won't they have eaten before?
Maybe. But it's 11:00. I doubt it.
-Oh. We have to get groceries. -We have a lot to do.
What is it?
-It must be a guest. -Is it about checking in?
-Who is it? -No way.
-Nice ringtone. What song? -It must be one of the guests.
-What's this? -It's a guest, right?
Hello?
Oh, hello!
What…
-Who's this? -Oh, hello!
We were wondering if we can check in now.
Oh, you want to check in?
-Yes, that's right. -Okay, how many people?
-Three! -There are three of us!
-Oh, three people? -Yes, sir.
That's right! You have room for us up there, don't you?
-Sorry? -Do you have room for us?
-Oh, we do, we do. -They do!
-Okay, we'll be there soon. -All right.
By the way, why are you so full of energy?
I think we might have to give them a yellow card or something.
-I know. -They're a bit…
Okay, all right. See you soon.
Well, this feels…
-I'm nervous! -They sound super excited.
I mean, I don't exactly feel confident.
Wait, our luggage. We have to get our luggage first.
Let's go.
Let's hurry and bring it upstairs.
SCRAMBLING TO WELCOME THE GUESTS
-Hold on. -It's ringing again.
-Another call. This is crazy. -The same person?
-Hello? -Hello?
-It's someone else. -It's a guy?
They all sound the same.
Hello!
-Ye-Yes, hello? -This is Hyo-jung.
I'll be joining the B&B today.
-Oh, Hyo-jung? -That's right.
-How many? -Right, how many people?
-There are three of us. -Three people?
-That's right. -All right, then. I'll see you in a bit.
What time should we get there?
You can come around 11:00. Check-in is at 11:00.
Yeah, yeah. See you later.
-All right. See ya. -I just got nervous.
-Are you kidding? I'm nervous! -We've got 6 guests just like that.
But, Hyung, do you think all of the guests are gonna be that intense?
This must be really exciting for them. They're already so excited.
They've been waiting a long time for this. Remember that.
Yeah, that's fair.
They kind of sounded like freshmen.
-College freshmen. -Yeah, totally.
TO THE STAFF QUARTERS UPSTAIRS
Hurry.
We don't have much time.
30:00 UNTIL CHECK-IN
Come on. We have to get this done.
-Should we do the towels? -Yeah, the towels. But change first.
Get changed.
We're already getting calls. It's a bit overwhelming.
-You know what? -What?
I'm getting excited all of a sudden.
-Yeah? -I mean, they sounded so happy,
and it kind of makes me feel more, I don't know, responsible?
I feel like I've got to keep them entertained.
Yeah, exactly.
They must really be looking forward to this.
Wait. Where's Jae-seok?
-Jae-seok! -Jae-seok!
-Oh. -Oh.
I never thought I'd hear that in person.
What do you mean? I just called his name.
Seriously, all I did was call him.
-What's the big deal? -I never thought I'd hear it.
What? I was just calling his name. What's so strange about that?
-Yeah, but… -What is it?
What?
WE NEED TO MAKE THE WELCOME TEDDY BEARS
We have to fold a hundred towels.
-A hundred of them? -Yeah.
-Okay, let's get started, then. -Come on, let's do it.
Here we go.
My confidence just dropped all of a sudden.
I think it's going to be fun.
-I mean, they must be thrilled, right? -Right.
Yeah, you're right. This probably feels like a field trip for them.
They'll be so happy. They'll walk in, and…
-Yu Jae-seok! -Ye-eun, are you done?
Not yet.
How's this?
Wouldn't it feel kind of weird to get that?
This one's kind of cute, right?
-If we put it like this? -Yeah, I like it.
This will give them that feeling. Like we, you know…
-"We did this for you"? -"We love you."
No, not love. More like, "We welcome you."
"We welcome you." Yeah.
"We wanted to welcome you this much."
Isn't this a bit much?
It kind of looks like a teddy bear bleeding to death on the snow.
-Sprinkle them more. -How?
Like leaves from a tree.
It kind of makes me feel more responsible.
-Right? -What's the worst that could happen?
Well, they're coming here because they trust us.
Exactly. We should at least make sure they make some great memories here.
I've been thinking. You know how when you go on trips,
you make happy memories, but there are also tough ones too?
-Right. -But when you look back,
you realize even those were happy times.
Even if you skip meals.
Why do you keep assuming we're going to be skipping meals?
Well, that's what I'm least confident about.
But, you know, we have to feed them, at least.
-You're right. -Yeah.
Ugh, I wanna go home.
BUT WHY DO I WANT TO GO HOME?
Why do I already wanna go home when we haven't even started?
Hold on. What time is it?
-I'd say we have… -Some time still.
-…twenty minutes. -Oh, boy.
So far there have been six people that have called to check in, right?
-Six so far. -If that's all, we can totally handle it.
-Hold that thought. -You're getting a call?
"Hello, sir. This is Lee Ka-ram.
I'll be joining the B&B today. It's just me, and I'll be"…
Seven people.
-Oh, another one! -Another call?
-No, it's a text. -No, this is… Wait a minute.
Wait.
Oh!
There are more!
Stop it!
Wait. I have to text them all back.
This one's from Song Jae-hyeong. It says, "Lunch."
"What time are we having lunch? I'll be arriving around 11:00."
"We'll let you know when you get here."
Hyung, are we gonna cook?
Uh, the… What?
Hyung, there's no way we'll be able to make lunch.
We have to get groceries too.
Hey, just hang on a second!
The texts are pouring in right now.
"Oh, okay. I'll see you soon."
If we cook, the earliest we'll be done is, like, 2:00.
-What about lunch? -Just hang on a second.
"Welcome. Welcome."
You don't have time to chat. We gotta hurry.
"For the next"…
Okay. "Not too crazy."
"Not too crazy."
Ugh. You type so slow.
"Let's keep it
nice and cozy.
Ka-ram."
I'm going to make a little joke here. Her name's Ka-ram.
"Ay Ka-ramba."
That's not funny, Hyung.
This is what you call wit, all right? This is wit.
So how many is that? How many people are coming?
It's like 17 or 19 people.
All set.
WHILE JAE-SEOK WAS TEXTING, HE FOLDED MOST OF THE TOWELS
-Almost done. -I'm all over the place.
Oh, man. I wish I were home.
Hey, do you wanna take charge?
What's the lunch plan?
SNORT
-Hey! -Yeah?
J-Just order some jjajangmyeon.
MEANWHILE, THE GUESTS HEAD TO THE B&B
We've never been to this part of the country before.
-Yeah. -This road's beautiful.
The weather is great.
Wow, look at the scenery. What a magnetic view.
It's magnificent.
-It's really tucked away. -Seriously.
I wonder how they found this place.
Yeah. It should be up ahead.
How is this our destination?
-Wow! Oh, my gosh! -Where?
JAE-SEOK'S B&B
-Whoa. Whoa. -This place is huge.
FROM HERE ON THIS IS A B&B WHERE YOU'RE FREE TO TALK NONSTOP
-"Starting here, you're free to"… -"Talk nonstop, play hard."
"And mess around!"
Let's get it.
AFTER ONE LAST CLIMB
CARS GATHER IN THE PARKING LOT
-Hello. -Hey, everyone!
-Hi. -A couple?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Wow.
Oh, so many people. Hello.
AND MORE ARE ON THE WAY
Hey, what should we make for lunch? Huh?
-First impressions are important. -Yeah.
All right. We can't really make anything right now
since we don't have any ingredients.
So we'll make dinner, but for lunch,
-I saw a place that sells bulgogi nearby. -Oh!
We can get it, bring it back here, cook it, and make some rice real quick.
-What do you think? -Great idea.
Wouldn't that be better? Don't you think?
But do we have rice?
Wait. Let's check that first.
We can at least make some gyeran-mari, can't we?
CAN'T HEAR YOU
We can still add something we made ourselves, right?
Hyung! Hyung!
-Let me see if we have rice. -We should check first.
-We have to check. Come. -We don't have to buy everything.
-Are the towels finished? -Yeah, we did a hundred.
We folded all the ones we had.
Are you leaving them like that?
Wait. Where are you going, Hyung? We're not done here.
We have to see if we have rice!
TIME REMAINING UNTIL CHECK-IN
I'm already checked out.
I feel like I'm dreaming right now.
We really should've cooked the rice earlier.
Hyung!
What?
Listen, the towels need to be…
Are we putting one at each bed or just stacking them in one place?
Put them in the beds?
-Like, one at each person's spot. -Two each.
Should we put two in each bed?
What? No, we should hand them out. Like, "Here, take one."
But that's…
It's better to put them at each spot. It feels like a gift.
-Makes us look prepared. -What about the rice?
-What? -Weren't you checking the rice?
Oh, right… the rice.
See if we have rice. If it's there, we should cook it now.
Exactly.
-Or maybe-- -I don't think we have it.
Oh, shoot.
-Is there any rice? -No.
There's no rice?
There's nothing in this fridge either.
Wait, there's no rice?
What are we gonna do?
-We could… -Maybe the fridge?
-No, nothing. -Where's the rice? Oh, wait, here it is.
-You found it? Oh, nice! There it is! -It's here!
Oh, wait. If we do this now…
-We only have ten minutes. -Washing rice when the orientation's
about to start? That's ridiculous.
If we don't place the order at the bulgogi place now… Did you call them?
Oh, no, not yet.
But if we were gonna cook, we should've started. It's way too late now.
-Yeah, if we start cooking rice now… -But it's too late.
-We can't do that now. -We shouldn't even try.
We should at least give them a proper meal when they arrive.
If we start now, it'll be dinner.
But we can't just go and order delivery. That wouldn't be the right thing to do.
So if we want it to at least feel like a proper meal…
Let's start the rice now. Okay? Let's just start it now.
We can't. They'll be here in ten minutes.
-But either way… -You all need to be there.
-Guys. Guys. Guys. -Huh? Yeah, Hyung?
You all have to be there.
-You can't pick up the food. -We should call them.
So what are we doing with the towels?
-Let's put them at each spot. -Then let's do that. Hold on.
Wait. So what, we just came here to see if there's rice? That's it?
-Shouldn't we wash the rice anyway? -Hyung! The rice. Hyung!
No, we can't wash the rice right now.
We only have five minutes left.
We have to go welcome them when they arrive.
Just come here. Come here, guys. Come here.
-So towels in the beds? -What?
Yeah.
-Oh, Sunbae. -I think that's better.
But there's no time.
It's better to put them inside. Having them grab one from a stack feels…
-How about we decide on lunch? -We can wash the rice out here.
Damn it.
No, they'll be here in 5 minutes!
-Should we wash it here? -Lunch is more important…
-I don't know anymore. Oh, the towels… -Hey!
-You wash the rice. -So wash it?
No, no! Don't wash the rice!
Hyung, We're gonna wash the rice.
JAE-SEOK DASHES TOWARD THE TOWELS
-Ye-eun. -Yes?
Let's leave these out and clear the rest away.
Okay.
Oh, shoot.
-Or we could-- -No, don't knock them over.
Let's just put them in the boxes, and each person can take a couple.
-Okay, let's do that. -We only have five minutes left.
Yeah.
-All right. -Gosh.
-Here, Ye-eun. -Okay.
All right, all right.
We just need to make it look like everything's perfectly in place
and we're totally ready.
Yeah, we have to look prepared.
No, so we'll just leave it like this. Okay.
-Nice and neat. Okay. -Right. Okay, it's almost time.
We need to make it look like everything's been thoroughly prepared.
-There. -Okay.
-So when they walk in here I'm gonna go… -Yeah?
-"All right, is everyone here?" -Perfect.
"Welcome to our B&B."
-Like this. -Great.
-Okay, good. -So, the towels…
-These should be… -Perfect.
Should we wash the rice now? What can we use?
Hold on.
I'll search YouTube.
Why don't we just use this? How much rice do we need?
Is it okay if I pour like this?
We don't know how many people are coming.
If there are leftovers, we can just serve it for dinner.
-This much? -That's too little.
That's, like, four people.
Really?
-It's way too little. -It is?
POURING AWAY
Isn't this a lot?
-This is way too much. -No, check it with your hand.
It's not as much as you think.
Really? I think it's more than we need. There's so much rice.
-I'll just wash it anyway. -Okay.
MEASURING RICE
STAGGERING
What are you doing?
We're washing the rice.
-You're cooking it already? -We're just getting it started.
-How many servings is that? -Isn't this way too much?
No, it's good. We don't know how much people will eat.
Then start the rice… Just cooking the rice would be enough.
But none of us know how to do it.
Move, move. I'll do it.
TRACES OF RICE COOKING
You can't just leave the rice out!
If anything here looks the least bit unprepared…
Why did you…
TIME REMAINING UNTIL CHECK-IN
Why did you bring the flowers over here?
It's almost 11:00. Should we start heading up now?
Yeah, we're supposed to meet there.
All right, let's head up! Let's go, let's go, let's go!
FROM THE PARKING LOT
TO THE B&B
IT ONLY TAKES 3 MINUTES
-We just need to drain the water now. -Okay.
Wait, but… Stop, stop, stop.
You're not supposed to pour out too much.
What do you mean? You keep the water?
-That's right. -Here, here, look.
Look, look. This… Turn the water on.
-We need more than this. It's next to you. -We need more water.
-Who are you asking to turn it on? -A little more.
It's supposed to come up to the back of your hand, right?
-Is that enough? -Hold on.
I think we need a little more.
A little more.
-I like my rice on the firmer side. -Is this enough? I think it's good.
Let's pour out a little. It might turn out mushy.
-This is how much we need. -There's a lot of rice in there.
-I've never seen it look like this before. -We need this much water.
-It's too much! -It is, isn't it?
There's too much water.
No. Hey, Ye-eun. We need about this much water, right?
-About that much. -We need this much.
-It's good. We need that much. -It can actually go up to around here.
-You can even add more. -We need more.
-Just a little more. No. -Even more?
But there's so much, you can barely see the rice.
That's how it's supposed to be.
-It should cover your hand. -Turn it up.
-Stop. Stop! -Stop.
Yeah, that's it. That looks good.
-Good. -Isn't it too much?
-Put it on now. Hurry. -No, seriously. It's right.
-In a minute. -Pour out a little.
Don't you dare! Don't pour it out! It'll be fine! The rice will be fine!
-Don't pour it out. -It won't be fully cooked!
-It's way too much. -Don't pour it out.
You'll make it too dry! Don't pour it out.
-I've never seen it like this! -No, we're not pouring it out!
-Woo-seok, you pour it out. -Don't pour it out.
-Hey. -We're not pouring it out.
-If you care, you'll pour it out! -No, I'm sure this is right.
-I can hear water! -Feels like going to boot camp.
Don't we need to set a time for cooking the rice?
-If we just press… It will… -It'll take care of itself.
-No! -No, seriously. Stop it.
-Does that look right? -Come on, trust me.
-This is it? -Yeah, that's it.
-We just let it sit? -Just let it sit.
-Really? -All right. Hey, good job.
-I mean it. Good job, everyone. -We did well.
Honestly, I really didn't think we'd have time for the rice and everything.
So, well done.
Staff, come here. It's time for orientation. Let's welcome them.
-We don't have any kimchi. -We'll just go buy some then.
One of you will come with me, and the other two will stay with the guests.
-In case they need anything. -And make sure everyone's okay.
Now, this goes for me too, but the number-one thing is, don't look clueless.
-Seriously. It'll make them anxious. -That's right.
-They won't trust us. -You're right, yeah.
-But won't they notice right away? -Don't even joke about that! Come on!
-Come on, Woo-seok. -We're professionals.
We have a perfect system in place.
Yeah, we've already done about a week of test runs.
-That's right. We've got everything ready. -Okay, I'll act like it's perfect.
-Oh, Hyung, should I sprinkle these? -What?
-We'll have to clean it up then. -Ah, that's right.
Don't make more work.
-What about some grass then? -I said don't make more work.
So when they get here, there will be a bunch of them, right?
-So… -A big cheer?
Hang on. We'll be like, "Welcome. Welcome to Jae-seok's B&B."
Oh, they're here.
-Already? -Oh, man. I'm so nervous.
So we'll bring them over to that side of the field.
Already?
It's beautiful out.
The air's so fresh here.
-Beautiful mountains, clear water. -Yeah.
A LARGE GROUP OF GUESTS APPROACHING
-Here we come! -Hi!
-Oh, they're here. -Already?
Oh, man. I'm so nervous.
So we'll bring them over to that side of the field.
-Got it. -Is that it up ahead?
We're here, see? Look!
-I'm exhausted. -Oh, "welcome!"
INCOMING
So we'll bring them over to that side of the field.
-Just act natural. -Should we wait over there?
Just try to relax. Act casual.
-Let's try not to look so worked up. -Just stand and applaud.
-Whoo! -Hello!
Whoa, they're… Oh, my goodness.
Hey!
ALREADY HYPED TO THE MAX
They're really fired up.
-That guy's really tall! -Is he a foreigner?
-Look at him. -Hi, there! Welcome.
-Welcome! -Welcome!
-Wow. -Welcome.
Welcome to your B&B getaway.
-Oh, wow. -Hello.
-Welcome. -Hello.
Hey! Whoo!
-Wow. Hello, hello. -This is way too much for me.
Hello!
-How are you? Yeah, come on in. -Oh, my gosh!
-Hi, everyone. -Hi.
Hello.
-Thanks for coming. -Come on inside. Right this way!
THE OWNER LEADS THE WAY WITH A SCREAM
A LITTLE STUNNED
All right, come on!
-Come on. Oh, my… -Come on in. This way.
THE FRONT GUESTS CHECK THEMSELVES IN
This is amazing.
EYE-CATCHING
What is that?
-That's the wrong way! -You're going the wrong way!
-To the left! To the left! -Orientation first!
Don't go that way!
Please don't wander off! Bring your stuff over here!
We're having orientation first!
-Leave your bags here for now. -Okay, okay, got it.
-How many people do we have now? -I think that's everyone.
No. There were way more people that called earlier.
All right.
There might be another group of people joining us,
so let's all just wait here for them until they--
Oh, they're here, they're here.
Oh, here they come.
-Hello! -Oh, hello!
Wow! There are so many of them.
-Wow, I'm excited. -This is amazing!
ANOTHER 9 PEOPLE
-Hello! -Hello!
-Welcome! -Hello!
-Hi, there. -Make sure you have the right luggage.
-Wait! -Hello! Hi, there.
-Make sure you have the right luggage. -Wait.
-What's wrong? -Hi there.
Do you know him?
What the heck?
Why are you here? Seriously, what are you doing here?
JAE-SEOK'S B&B RULES! ously, what are you doing here?
