Youn’s Kitchen: How I Ended Up in a Korean TV Show

Something very unusual happened today. My husband and I walked from Icod de Los Vinos to Garachico. Thirsty after two hours of walking, we looked for refreshments and suddenly found ourselves participating in a Korean reality TV show.

The weather was warm and lovely today, so my husband and I decided to take a long walk. The surroundings of Icod de Los Vinos are still new to us, and we thought that Garachico, a charming small town by the sea about 14 km away, would be a good destination. If I had known this walk would bring me directly into a TV reality show, I would have dressed like a star, LOL. But now you will see the simple me drinking wine and eating some delicious Korean food in a picturesque Canarian street. Season 2 of the Korean TV show Youn’s Kitchen opens in January 2018, starring Yoon Yeo Jung, Lee Seo Jin, Jung Yoo Mi, and Park Seo Joon.

    Waaaa I’m so happy to see a fellow Filipina in the show. Nung una palang kitang nakita napaisip na ko kung Pilipina ka ba, then nung namention mo yung relative mo na nanalo ng gold medal super nag swoon talaga ako haha. Feeling ko ung level ng pagkatuwa ko is similar sa level ng tuwa ko pag nakikita ko si Seo Joon sa show. Also, ang sweet nyo ni hubby mo, ang heartwarming tingnan. Super thanks for sharing your experience and all the best sa blog mo. God bless 🙂

    haha I always watch Youn’s Kitchen and when I saw you and your husband, I was like “Oh wow! A Filipina!”… Then you told your husband “I’ll just wait for you here, HA?” then the “ha” proved me right ahahahaha I am just soooo happy that a Filipina was able to appear in their show and in that place of all places in the world! Like WOW! Were there food really delicious? That show always kept me at the edge of my seat especially when they had so many customers, knowing they are not really professionals ^^ Anyway, good for you to reach such beautiful place and for seeing and experiencing it with the addition of seeing Ksuperstars like Seo Jin and Seo jun and pretty Yoo Mi and Youn! <3

      Hahaha, that way my husband understands Filipino nuances wink wink. Honestly, I am still craving for their dishes, they were that good. That was my target there because prior to that I don’t know so much of the Kworld, and now I am watching Kseries on Netflix! Thanks for dropping by. All the best to you!

    Since March 2020 when quarantine started here in Los Angeles, I started watching KDramas & fell in love with Park Seo Joon. I watched literally all of his projects back to back and since I can’t get enough, I watched Youn’s Kitchen 2 so I can see more of him.

    You were so lucky to have a chance encounter with him. So happy to see a fellow Filipina in the show. More power to you & your hubby!

    OMG! You met Park Seo Joon. How are you this lucky in life? I’m so jealous!!!
    He is a top actor in Korea and is not only very popular inside Korea but also has many international fans (such as me)
    By the way, Park Seo Joon acted in the movie “Parasite” which won the Best Picture at the Oscars this year!
    ( The movie took home the most awards at the Oscars 2020, winning four Academy Awards at tonight’s Oscars including Best Picture, Directing, International Feature Film and Writing )

    It’s still holiday season here in Manila so I got to watch TV and tuned in on Youn’s Kitchen out of curiosity. I got hooked knowing that a kababayan was on. Immediately I was full of envy because you got to see some of the famous stars in Korea! And, it’s music to my ears to read about your good feedback about how they are. Such a swell experience for you! How I wish I’ll have the same …but it will cost me too much to purposely time a trip where they will shoot next. Also, look how super late I tuned in! Hahaha!
    All the best and Happy New year to you and your husband

    I loved the way you and your husband treated each other…the beautiful ways you spoke to each other. As I watched you I wondered if you’d ever notice the person serving your food. I was literally yelling at the tv.. “Would you please look at him? Is she going to notice who’s her waiter?! It’s Beautiful Park Seo Joon! ” But then I realized your husband’s sweetness towards you and I said “Nevermind…. no wonder. I wouldn’t notice either.” Thank you for sharing your experience. Say hi to your husband from me… a stranger. You both are definitely #CoupleGoals.

    Omgsh! I am super jealous of you, Ate. Park Seo Joon is one of my oppa 💕 haha. I was watching the show and saw you. Right away, I was like “she looks like Filipina” then you started talking about your relative who won a gold medal in Manila, Lol. I am a Filipina as well, living here in Cali. Tiga Mindanao ka ba? All my dad’s siblings live in Bukidnon and Wao. Super gwapo ba ni Park Seo Joon in person? 😍😍

    I am on the last episode of Yoon’s Kitchen and I wanted to see if there were recipes online. Your blog post was one of the first sites that came up about Yoon’s Kitchen.

    I live in North Carolina in the US and have been watching only Korean television shows for about 6 or 7 years now. I dislike so many American shows because of the violence, sex and general nastiness that is always shown. Reality shows in America make it seem that we are a culture of nasty and disgusting people. I don’t think we really are but the entertainment industry likes to package that up and thinks it’s worth selling. However, Korean shows are much better at entertaining without all that crud.

    My husband even watched an episode with me because everyone was so polite and respectful to each other which made the viewer feel happy to be a part of that world. You are very lucky that you actually were part of that during your time there. Both you and your husband seem like very sweet people and I appreciate seeing all the behind-the-scenes photos. I love the one photo of the kitchen, especially the one of the camera person looking surprised, LOL. I just love seeing how many wonderful people there are in the world that come from so many different countries and everyone shares their hearts through, good food compliments and smiles. I wish everyone could be so blessed to experience something like this.

    And yes, I am a fan of all of those wonderful actors and amazed by their humble serving and gracious manor. Have you watched any of their TV shows or movies yet? I definitely recommend the TV show She Was Pretty. (You can find it on the website Viki or DramaFever. You can do a free trial if you don’t want to watch commercials.) It’s very goofy but sweet and lots of fun. I see you said you saw Train to Busan so obviously you know how good Korean shows and movies can be.

    Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this blog. I hope you and your husband have many more wonderful adventures like this! Sorry for writing so much, LOL.

      Thanks for your kind comment. As a Filipina, I think I can relate to your views about commercial TV. We are very much influenced by US when it comes to entertainment. But we also love our Asian neighbors; Korean film and TV are among our favorites. I already knew a little about all the actors participating in Youn’s Kitchen, but did not recognize them before they revealed themselves to us. It was so unexpected to see them as humble and kind restaurant staff. I agree with you and would love to see the TV scene change to a milder human experience. That is probably too much to hope for, 😊 but luckily there are niches with programs like the ones you mentioned. Every change starts small and with more fans of programs like Youn’s Kitchen, the world of TV might change for the better. All the best to you and your future TV show explorations 🙂

    I’m so glad I found your blog! BTW you looked amazing to have been walking that distance hehe I really fell in love with both you and your husband- he seems so nice and I love the way he is so affectionate and loving with you AND vice-versa. You both seem like really lovely people! <3 I am glad to read what you guys thought of it all, since I wondered what customers truly thought.

    As you have heard by now, those were very famous waiters you had hehe Both some of the biggest stars in Korea, but for this show, they like to keep their identities rather on the downlow for customers/locals and just enjoy being anonymous "staff" for once in their lives. If you haven't watched anything with them before, I definitely recommend you to check them both out. They are both in TV and films. 🙂

    Thanks for sharing your experience! best of luck to you and your husband- i wish you a very happy, blessed life! <3

      Thank you very much for your kind comment. My husband is a nice man and I’m glad that our happy relationship is reflected in the show. Of course, it must have been fun for the actors to pause from their fame. We had already seen “Train to Busan” when we (by accident) entered the restaurant. But Yumi was in the kitchen all the time so we only recognized her just before we left 🙂 When the actors introduced themselves we understood fast their position in Asia and were charmed by the concept. All the best to you also!

    Hi po! ^^ gusto ko lang pong e share, I just started streaming the tv show youn’s kitchen since natapos na sya nitong march lang and nalaman ko lang din na park seo joon was part of it so na excite ako. My first reason was because of him but eventually I also fell in love with the show and the crews. I have been through a lot of searching about the show and I happened to see your blog about it, mas na excite po ako sa blog niyo cuz what happened to you and your hubby was exactly the things that I keep on imagining and been day dreaming since 1st episode nang show. Ill be looking forward sa episode na makikita ko po kayo. I wish you po the best in life especially sa mga trips po ninyo and sa mga unexpected adventures po. Question lang po… Is park seo joon really that handsome and kind in person? hehe thank you po! Godbless you din po! ^^

I got hooked with the episodes too, especially the location they showcase. It’s nice of them to promote other countries and let people see their beauty. Yes he is handsome and very humble in person, not only him, all of them. They’re awesome. I hope you get to meet them too.

    Hello! I’m from Alicante, Spain. It’s a pity that I found out later, I would have liked to see them in person, only to see how they work as waiters, a difficult task. One question, is there any way to find out where the third season of this program is going to take place, I would like to go to the place where it is recorded. I know it’s hard, but I’d love it ..

Then you mentioned about a close relative who won a gold medal in a skating competition in Manila. Sabi ko, “sabi ko na eh pinay ka”. It was so nice to see you on the show.

    Hi. I am very happy to find a great blog! I saw you at the Korea TV program Youn’s Kitchen. And I got to know the blog address on seowoo’s YouTube channel. It’s so nice to be able to see hidden cameras and shooting staff on the blog that I could not know when watching TV programs! fun. 😀 I wondered where the camera was hidden. And great pictures of Karacho! Especially the sea picture is very beautiful. It was a walking trip, was not it difficult? and… The sentence might be a little awkward because I use a translator. I apologize in advance. And I heard that a close relative got a gold medal at figure skating, congratulations!

      Hi, Seowoo, yes you can introduce my blog on your youtube channel 😊 It’s a long time since my husband was active in the film industry and he told me he was just joking about his Hollywood past in Youns Kitchen, but here is a link to some info about him from The Norwegian Film institute: https://mindanaoadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Certificate-from-the-Norwegian-Film-Institute.pdf He was executive producer for an American movie, Turnaround” in 1986. Here is a link to his first movie as director from 1974 that I found on YouTube, but it’s in Norwegian, the English title is “Desertion” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9XTHIVtvxM All the best!

    Hi!! I just find your blog and I’m in love with it, I’m from Madrid maybe I should ask in spanish hehe but let me try with english even when I know my english is really bad..!
    You are so lucky you can meet these famous person!! I feel a bit jealous hehe so sad I don’t see it before because I can just go and visit they now is late 🙁 🙁 🙁 !!
    I hope you the best!
    I know it may sound like a silly question, or an unimportant question, but maybe you could give me your opinion about their heights? Lee Seo Jin 1,78 and Park Seo Joon 1,85 do you think these are real heights or they are shorts? I’m just a fan and is a really important think to me because I’m 1,58 and just…. I don’t know I love to know if they are really that height on your think they are short, because in some photos I see they and they don’t look that tall and I feel like they lie about it and maybe they are 3-4 cm shorter… I know can be hard to answer but well I hope you can give me a idea about it, thanks and again good luck in your travels and enjoy it, I go be here from now because I really enjoy ur blog.

      Hola Marta, thanks for visiting my blog. I am still learning Spanish myself, your English is fine. That was an accident meeting and was a fun way to end our almost 2-hour walk. They are tall guys for me, because I am short 😉

      Wow, we didn’t know that but they were very good restaurant staff 🙂

    Thank you for the pictures! But I believe the show is keeping the location a secret for now since they’re still shooting. I think it’d be better if you don’t mention the location for now 🙈 (Because once fans know, they’d gather at the restaurant and the crew’s identities as a celebrities will be exposed, which kinda doesn’t go with the idea of the show) thank you very much ❤️

      Thanks for your kind reply and concern. We just stumbled upon the restaurant by accident and I believe it’s hidden well enough. We informed that we would publish our surprising experience and they invited us to take some photos. Reality shows are always open for unexpected twists and if some devoted fans really find the place, it would probably be a part of the show 😊 All the best!

        So funny. I just discovered this reality show. And saw that one of the waiters is one of my favorite Korean actor, Park, Seo Jeon.
        I wonder how long this is going to be in production.
        I have even looked up where Tenerife is.
        I enjoyed watching this show.

      Youn’s Kitchen team chose a hard to reach location, it is an island in the Atlantic Ocean! And I don’t think people in Garachico are into korean shows. Die hard fans will have to spend a lot of money before reaching the location.
