The four siblings of tvN 'Fresh off the Sea' adorned the night of Wando with their unique excitement and chemistry. The arrival of two guests, Kim Jae-hwa and Yoon Kyung-ho, filled the screen with captivating immersion.
In the sixth episode of tvN's show 'Fresh off the Sea' (directed by Kim Se-hee), aired on the 18th, Yum Jung-ah, Park Joon Myun, Lim Ji-yeon, and Lee Jae-wook's story unfolded after finishing the exhausting 28-ton unloading work of seaweed. The episode achieved the number one rating in its target demographic of males and females aged 20 to 49 for six consecutive weeks, including cable and comprehensive programming networks, according to Nielsen Korea based on paid platforms.
As dinner preparations began, the four siblings showcased their teamwork in getting ready for 'Sister's Western Restaurant.' In particular, a visually stunning pasta made with seaweed cream—which had only been enjoyed as a side dish—was impossible to take one's eyes off. As Yum Jung-ah prepared two bags of pasta, each containing over 10 servings, Lee Jae-wook remarked, "Our sister has big hands," unable to contain his amazement. Despite the aftermath of hard labor where she couldn't even stretch her back, Yum Jung-ah displayed the worth of 'big hand sister' by ensuring that even the staff got their share, adding warmth to the occasion.
With a hearty spread consisting of smoky thick pork barbecue, abalone butter-grilled dishes, spicy tofu stew, and fresh kimchi salad, the feast, completed with Wando's seasonal delicacies, marked the start of the four siblings' stormy eating show. Hungry Lim Ji-yeon, as well as Park Joon Myun and Lee Jae-wook, couldn't hide their immense joy over the amazing taste of the pasta, and Yum Jung-ah, who led the dinner preparations, was pleased by their reactions. Yum Jung-ah's perfectly seasoned pork barbecue also garnered continuous praise. Lee Jae-wook confessed, "When I first came here, I was overwhelmed, but now I can relax and enjoy my time with my sisters more comfortably."
The intense dishwashing competition that began after the momentous seaweed catch generated great amusement. They decided to determine the washing duties through a game called the hand palm sticky game. Starting with Lee Jae-wook, who was the first to escape the 'dishwashing hell,' Yum Jung-ah and Lim Ji-yeon followed suit to victory, leaving Park Joon Myun, who lost the game, to do the dishes. The four siblings showcased their genuine sibling chemistry amid the thrilling atmosphere brought on by the game. The music concert held in their room, led by the lively siblings, drew attention as well. Following the selection of 'Eve's Warning' by energetic sisters Yum Jung-ah and Lim Ji-yeon, Lee Jae-wook and Park Joon Myun showcased their duet harmonies, adorning the night of Wando.
The next morning, the four siblings, who went out for a walk together, enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Young Poong Village. Lim Ji-yeon, who is a running enthusiast, started her run alone, savoring the special moment to the fullest. The breakfast menu featured a bean stew inspired by handmade tofu ideas from Gangwon Province. 'Junior Jung-ah,' Lee Jae-wook, closely accompanied Yum Jung-ah, showcasing his sense of support, while Lim Ji-yeon began cooking kim pancakes, taking her first steps as a 'Fresh off the Sea' chef.
Park Joon Myun and Lee Jae-wook took on the challenge of making dried seaweed with the seaweed they received from Soando. Initially impressed by the unexpected visual, Lee Jae-wook remarked, "Sister, your seaweed is thick," demonstrating the characteristics of a 'seaweed connoisseur,' which drew laughter. It wasn't easy to satisfy Lee Jae-wook's discerning eyes regarding thickness. The two struggled until they managed to complete their satisfactory seaweed drying process, despite the challenges they faced.
Breakfast was also a success. The bean stew made by Yum Jung-ah was filled with rich flavors, and the heart-shaped kim pancakes made without measuring by Lim Ji-yeon also received high praise for their perfection. Lee Jae-wook raised his thumb, saying, "This is even tastier than the kim pancakes we had as a second meal," while Lim Ji-yeon couldn't hide her proud smile after successfully showcasing her cooking debut, exclaiming, "I guess I have a talent for cooking!"
The second task that began in Wando was the 'shell' picking operation in Sinjido. The guests visiting Wando revealed themselves as well. Actors Yoon Kyung-ho, known for the hit series 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call,' and Kim Jae-hwa, the scene-stealer from the movies 'Smuggling' and 'The Tale of Lady Ok,' arrived. While the two prepared a surprise camera to trick the four siblings, unaware of their plans, the siblings radiated uncontainable excitement. Lim Ji-yeon, who exclaimed 'I'm warmed up,' danced to the lively music, revealing her joy at escaping being a 'cooking novice.'
Kim Jae-hwa and Yoon Kyung-ho, disguised as staff, waited for the four siblings at the fishing site. The perceptive Yum Jung-ah instantly recognized Yoon Kyung-ho, masked as Professor Han Yu-rim, asking, "Aren't you Professor Han Yu-rim?" The four siblings poured out enthusiastic welcomes. The first to discover Kim Jae-hwa's identity was also Yum Jung-ah. After recognizing Kim Jae-hwa, who was disguised as a staff member, Yum Jung-ah quickly embraced her and joined the surprise camera, adding to the immersion. She teared up, saying, "I'm going crazy! I met someone I know," and the siblings, moved by her unexpected joy, also had teary eyes, turning the scene into a sea of tears.
Once Kim Jae-hwa's identity was revealed, the atmosphere heated up even more. Im Ji-yeon and Kim Jae-hwa, who had partnered as soulmates in the drama 'The Tale of Lady Ok,' expressed their excitement, saying, "Wow, my Max!" and "Lady, how have you been?" The four siblings and the two guests, all moved by the surprise camera that made them laugh and cry, quickly began the main fishing operation, piquing curiosity for what was to come next. Yum Jung-ah and her sweet tea apprentice Yoon Kyung-ho planned to make sweet pumpkin tea, raising anticipation.
'Fresh off the Sea' captures the vibrant realities of fishing villages, from various jobs and foods in pristine waters to fresh winter and spring seasonal meals available only from the source, and airs every Sunday at 7:40 p.m.
