Kim Hee-won challenges the sushi king.
tvN 'House on Wheels - Beyond the Ocean: Hokkaido edition' (directed by Shin Chan-yang, Kim Ah-rim / hereafter "House on Wheels - Beyond the Ocean") is themed as a journey that takes your home with you, and follows the "House On Wheels" that spent four seasons traveling across Korea as it embarks on a new adventure overseas. After regulars Seong Dong-il and Kim Hee-won return after three years, the show's first female homeowner Jang Nara joins, earning praise for fresh, harmless laughter.
In the fourth episode airing today (the 2nd), the "three siblings" Seong Dong-il, Kim Hee-won and Jang Nara and guest former youngest sibling Gong Myoung spend their first night in Hokkaido, and the next day enjoy a trip to the romantic port city of Otaru, which has gained worldwide popularity.
Not only Seong Dong-il, who handles cooking, but Kim Hee-won also rolls up his sleeves and draws attention. That day, Kim Hee-won learns sushi from the show's official sushi king Seong Dong-il and challenges three kinds of sushi that melt in the mouth, from "Hokkaido tuna" to "scallops" and "aged kimchi wagyu." When Seong Dong-il, having caught Kim Hee-won's mistake of gripping the sushi rice like a rice ball, launched into stern instruction, Jang Nara, watching, said, "Hee-won sunbaenim, looks like you're quitting today?" which provoked laughter. Questions are growing over whether Kim Hee-won can make a successful debut as the new sushi king.
Meanwhile, the "first Hokkaido banquet" made with fresh ingredients the cast procured themselves is revealed, expected to attract attention. "Chef Seong" Seong Dong-il complained, "I'm not here to travel, I feel like a food truck guy who came to cook," yet said, "Myung, it seems like the best feast we can prepare for you," and presented a so plentiful Hokkaido banquet that it caused amazement.
Meanwhile, Seong Dong-il's so-called "one-hit spot-on tour," serving as an Otaru guide to the "dessert paradise," is expected to draw attention. On the "one-hit spot-on tour," which covers various sights and foods, food-savvy Seong Dong-il compiles a fail-safe travel course from a local-recommended ramen shop he calls his life ramen to SNS hot-spot dessert shops. Ecstatic at such a rich course, Jang Nara reportedly performed an inner dance of joy in the middle of the street. But the cast complained of being overly sated by Seong Dong-il's excessive affection (?), raising anticipation for what the "Dong-il tour" will look like in the broadcast.
tvN 'House on Wheels - Beyond the Ocean: Hokkaido edition' airs its fourth episode today (the 2nd) at 7:40 p.m.
