The broadcast that day recorded 4.1% in viewership ratings, an increase from the previous episode. (Nielsen Korea, Seoul Metropolitan Area)

On that day, Ryu Soo-young packed a large pot and headed somewhere. Ryu Soo-young, looking a bit nervous, arrived at the practice room for the play ‘Seaside Village Diary’, starring his wife Park Ha-sun. Park Ha-sun could not hide her embarrassment at her husband’s appearance, but her fellow actors Hong Eun-hee, Han Hye-jin, Yoo Yi, and So Ju-yeon, who were practicing with her, welcomed Ryu Soo-young with exclamations, making everyone laugh.



Next, the real help that Ryu Soo-young had prepared was revealed. Ryu Soo-young brought out a 7kg large-capacity braised short ribs that he had cooked himself, even borrowing the practice room‘s stove, a large pot of warm rice that he had just cooked, and the secret menu, soy sauce marinated crab, that he had prepared three days ago. Park Ha-sun helped set up the food next to Ryu Soo-young and expressed her gratitude, saying, “Oh my gosh, this is the best event ever.” Looking at his happy wife, Ryu Soo-young also said proudly, “It’s so delicious to cook.”

Meal time finally started. Hong Eun-hee asked, “Ha-sun must be nice. Do you eat like this every day?” and Han Hye-jin said, “It‘s an honor that we can eat Mr. Eo-nam’s cooking. I envy Ha-sun the most.” The two then unanimously complained, “We‘ve never eaten food made by someone else.” At that time, MC Manager Boom wittily said, “Yoo Jun-sang, Ki Sung-yong, Mr. Eo-nam. Eo-husband wins!” causing a big laugh.

While all the fellow actors gave Ryu Soo-young praise for his cooking, what particularly caught the eye was Han Hye-jin’s mouth-watering crab mukbang. Han Hye-jin exclaimed, “I don‘t eat crab, but this is so delicious. So this is what crab is like,” as she inhaled the crab. Here, the couple Ryu Soo-young and Park Ha-sun showed off their great chemistry and made everyone burst into laughter by promoting the play ‘Seaside Village Diary’.

Meanwhile, curiosity about Ryu Soo-young’s soy sauce marinated crab recipe that even Han Hye-jin, who never eats crab, inhaled it like a storm is also soaring. Ryu Soo-young had previously revealed a recipe for seasoned crab that would become a rice thief, and even then, requests for his soy sauce marinated crab recipe poured in. In response, Ryu Soo-young spent a full 4 months researching and finally completed a soy sauce marinated crab recipe that was both cost-effective and delicious. The key to Ryu Soo-young‘s soy sauce marinated crab recipe was ssanghwatang.

Not only did Ryu Soo-young complete a recipe that anyone can easily follow, but he also showed off his entertainment sense by transforming into a detective named Eo-nam to ‘Catch the Rice Thief Soy Sauce Marinade’, entertaining viewers of ‘Convenience Store Restaurant’. At the end of the broadcast that day, Ryu Soo-young was previewed as he visited Macau, a paradise of gourmet food, and took on the challenge of promoting K-food. KBS 2TV’s ‘Newly Released Convenience Store Restaurant’ with Mr. Eo-nam Ryu Soo-young airs every Friday at 8:30 p.m.
