tvN‘s ‘Outside the Tent is Europe - Romantic Italy Edition’ continued the thrill with the magnificent scenery of Seceda following the wildflower paradise.
Episode 8 of ‘Outside the Tent is Europe - Romantic Italy Edition’, which aired on the 5th, depicted the story of Ra Mi-ran, Kwak Sun-young, Lee Joo-bin, and Lee Se-young heading to Seceda, known as the landscape loved by the devil.
The four people who fell in love with the charm of the wildflower paradise in Alpe d’Isiusi sat down at the Alps hut ‘Malga’ to taste the lunchbox prepared by Lee Se-young. After ordering Italian-style dumplings, which were the food of shepherds, a perfect lunch in a magnificent view followed. Ra Mi-ran ate the sandwich made by Lee Se-young and made Lee Se-young‘s heart flutter with her praise, saying, “It’s the most delicious bread I‘ve ever had. Kwak Sun-young and Lee Se-young also shared the emotion of the magnificent view with their families through a video call.
Leaving behind the memories of the wildflower paradise, the four moved to Seceda, another famous place in the western Dolomites. Lee Se-young, who had carefully prepared a packed lunch from early in the morning, fought against drowsiness throughout the drive, but as soon as she got out of the car, she showed her passionate youngest member’s side by becoming a guide. Ra Mi-ran, who had been using her legs from trekking all day, made everyone burst into laughter by saying, “The crucible is gone now,” as she walked to board the cable car.
The members could not hide their shock at the unimaginable cable car ticket price and arrived at the summit of Seceda by climbing over the steep slope. A sharp peak and a gentle meadow spread out before their eyes, and the members exclaimed in amazement at the unrealistically colored scenery. After passing the ‘Nth Panting Hill’, the four arrived at the photo spot and spent their time enjoying the scenery that the devil loves along with the certification shot parade. At this time, a Chinese fan who recognized Rami Ran did not hide his passionate fandom, and an unexpected fan meeting was held.
Although there was not much time left, the four of them enjoyed the leisurely time on the meadow while lying on the grass of Seceda and saying in unison, “I never thought a moment like this would come in my life”. Lee Se-young suddenly shed tears as if overcome with emotion at the beautiful moment, saying, “We live too busy, right?”. She deeply regretted having to spend only a short time in Seceda. When Lee Se-young shed tears, the staff members moved busily for close-up shots, and the sisters joked, “Now, let’s go to the mart, Se-young,” making everyone laugh.
After coming down the cable car, the cute village of Ortisei, which looked like something out of a Disney cartoon, came into view. The four went to a local grocery store and bought Dolomite specialties such as wild flower cheese and dried porcini. Kwak Seon-young, who was in charge of general affairs, declared austerity measures due to the unexpected cable car cost, but she showed a weak heart when tempted by the temptation of tasting, making everyone laugh.
After arriving at the mountain lodge, the four decided to enjoy dinner while looking at the Dolomite’s rare natural phenomenon, “Enrosadira,” through the large windows. The dinner menu consisted of pasta, handmade dumplings, and basil pesto potato salad. The four, who had even discarded old ingredients, began to work breathlessly toward the sunset. Lee Joo-bin, who was in charge of the dough, said, “I’ve kneaded a lot of dough with my mom since I was little. Flour is the cheapest,” he said, showing off his skillful kneading skills. There was a crisis where the dumpling skin tore during the steaming, but Kwak Seon-yeong quickly changed the menu to fried dumplings.
On this day, Ra Mi-ran, who had transformed into the director of a tea house, quickly made an authentic Italian pasta orecchiette with dried porcini mushrooms, wild flower cheese, and spicy sauce. Fortunately, dinner was served on time, but unfortunately, they couldn’t meet Enrosadira because of the clouds. The four of them enjoyed dinner while taking in the mysterious atmosphere of the night sky along with dishes reminiscent of a banquet.
The next day, they were scheduled to move from the west to the east. A journey to meet the “Tre Cime,” the heart of the Dolomites and the three peaks. Ra Mi-ran and Kwak Seon-yeong prepared kimbap to eat on the way, while Lee Se-yeong made a simple apple salad for breakfast. Lee Se-young, who transformed into a little gourmet chef, captivated everyone‘s taste buds with the twist of adding chocolate to the salad. The four of them also showed off their sisterly chemistry by scraping up every last bit of food.
