Xiumin and Sojung are on the same boat.

In episodes 3 and 4 of Why Not Media‘s drama ‘Heo’s Restaurant’ (directed by Oh Hwanmin, Kim Kyungeun, written by Sung Sohyun), Heo Gyun (played by Xiumin) started a restaurant partnership with Bong Eunsil (played by Choo Sojung), the daughter of a restaurant owner.

Heo Gyun, who first discovered Eunsil‘s mother (played by Kim Heejung) in an unexpected accident, was investigated by Detective Kang (played by Oh Jiho) as a suspect in the case. Heo Gyun, who was taken in without knowing what was going on, took the investigation seriously, but found himself in an awkward situation because he did not understand the differences between the Joseon Dynasty and modern times, such as identification cards and house badges. In the process, Heo Gyun recalls the assassin (played by Oh Ji-ho) who tried to kill him in the past while watching Detective Kang threatening him by locking him in the detention center.

In addition, it was revealed that chef Lee Hyuk (played by Lee Se-on) of the restaurant across from the restaurant had met Eun-sil’s mother on the day of the accident. Detective Kang caused goosebumps by taking care of Lee Hyuk‘s dirty work in exchange for destroying evidence linking him to Eun-sil’s mother‘s accident. The meaningful relationship between the two added to the tension.

In the meantime, Eun-sil unexpectedly became the president of the restaurant when the restaurant went out of business due to her mother’s absence. Eun-sil, who was having financial difficulties due to hospital bills, tried to make a sales contract with Lee Hyuk, who said he would buy it at a higher price than the market price, but postponed the decision because she could not give up the hope that her mother would get back on her feet and come back.


Eun-sil, who was a born fool at cooking, met Heo Gyun again when he came to visit her in the hospital. After that, Eun-sil learned that Heo Gyun was a cooking genius. Heo Gyun, a born genius, cooked the food Eun-sil‘s mother made after tasting it once. Eun-sil, who was impressed by Heo Gyun’s cooking, suggested that he work as a chef and proposed a partnership, saying, “This restaurant, let‘s work together!”

In this way, Heo Gyun and Eun-sil started a restaurant together, and the two gradually became close as they went shopping for groceries from the early morning. In the process, Heo Gyun sees Noong (played by Woo Hyun), who is disguised as a market vendor, and recalls old memories, intuitively realizing that his time slip is related to Noong. It makes one curious about the future development as to why Noong continues to linger around Heo Gyun.

Lee Hyuk becomes upset and angry at the news that Heo Gyun and Eun Sil are running a restaurant. Furthermore, his reputation, which he values most, is in danger of being tarnished when the commercial shoot with CF star Jeong Mi Sol (played by Lee Soo Min) is canceled. As Heo Gyun, Eun Sil, Lee Hyuk, and Mi Sol become fully entangled, attention is focused on whether Heo Gyun and Eun Sil will be able to run the restaurant safely.
