tvN 'Fresh off the Sea' Season 2 officially begins life in Yeosu with Dex.
The 12th episode of the tvN show 'Fresh off the Sea' (directed by Kim Se-hee) airing today (29th, Sun) at 7:40 p.m. tells the story of Yum Jung-ah, Park Joon Myun, Lim Ji-yeon, and Lee Jae-wook harvesting Dolsan mustard greens, the pride of Jeollanam-do Yeosu, alongside Dex.
With Dex's surprising addition, completing the five siblings, the 'Fresh off the Sea' cast will embark on the flavorful adventure of harvesting Dolsan mustard greens in Yeosu. In the vast 1,000 pyeong mustard field, the labor scene of the five siblings sweating for record sales will be revealed, featuring Dex becoming a human chainsaw. Particularly, Lee Jae-wook is expected to shine to the extent of capturing the affection of the elder farmers in the mustard fields. Curiosity is sparked about the backstory of how Dex, the original youngest member, showed jealousy towards the current youngest, Lee Jae-wook.
The exceptional presence of 'Chemistry Fairy' Dex is also anticipated. Dex, an introvert, expresses nervousness in front of Lim Ji-yeon and Lee Jae-wook, saying, "It feels like there’s a new family member since I returned from the military," but shortly afterward, he announces his return as a professional broadcaster and master of flirting, leading the mood on set. Notably, Lim Ji-yeon and Lee Jae-wook comment, "He's shy, but he broadcasts so well," which brings laughter.
The first dinner in Yeosu kicks off with an epic pot lid pork belly party. The soul food of Koreans, pork belly, along with Yum Jung-ah's Boryung mountain pickled vegetables and Minari & Gosan-ri, and the visually and tastefully perfect Park Joon Myun-style pork kimchi stew, promises an extraordinary feast that is expected to stimulate viewers' appetite. Yum Jung-ah can't hide her satisfaction, saying, "I feel secure" as she witnesses the perfect collaboration between the cooking expert Dex and Lee Jae-wook, who has experience in a meat restaurant.
The fateful game of chance that unfolds after dinner is also an unmissable point of expectation. The five siblings express extreme tension at the news that two members will be selected to participate in the next day's harvest. Curiosity is heightened regarding what kind of game of chance was devised by Dex and who will become the chosen ones to board the working boat.
Viewers can also look forward to Dex's work as a late-night chef. Particularly, Dex argues that "water control is key for jjajang ramen," while Lim Ji-yeon counters that "fire control is key," leading to an unexpected jjajang showdown. It raises anticipation for whether Dex can win over the taste of Lim Ji-yeon, a cooking rising star and rival in Season 2.
The 12th episode of tvN 'Fresh off the Sea' airs on the 29th (Sun) at 7:40 p.m.
