Hyori's Bed and Breakfast Season 2 Episode 1 Recap

Finally it's here.
I've been so excited when I read the news that they will going for Season 2.

And it seems like the audience of the show also feel the same since the premier of this Season already hit a good rating and become a trending topic in Korean's web portal.

Surely who can get enough of Lee Hyori with his sweet husband Sangsoon.
I love Hyori since Family Outing days.
And I just get to know Lee Sangsoon after the first season. You can't help but falling to his charm once you watch the show. He even get the tittle Nation's Husband.

Thus, in instant, Hyori's Bed and Breakfast become one of my favorite show.
It shows the dynamic of running a B&B with the varies of guest and their chemistry with their employee. For the season 1, the employee is IU a.k.a Lee Jieun. The beautiful nature of Jeju Island is also an additional treats that we can enjoy in every episode.


After the success of Season 1.
Now, we all ready to enjoy the new season.

Introduction

As a start, the crew treat us a whole new scenery: Jeju Island covered with snow.
Compared to season 1 which filmed during Spring-Summer. This season filmed in Winter. We can expect a new vibe already.

They start the day with a warm tea, as usual.

They both look so awkward again with the camera. 

It does feel like a dejavu when they start the first season, lol. 

They narrow down about what they need to do to their guest: EAT WELL and SLEEP WELL.

Well, I agree with the couple. Those are the basic and most important one.

FIRST: Eat Well.

Cue to all the delicious meals they made. 

God, how I love how homey the dish are.  

They also give us the glimpse when Park Bogum enjoys the food, like a cutie he always is.

What? Park Bogum? Yes, Park Bogum. He will become a part-timer employee, but there is no additional info besides that. So, let's just waiting while enjoy the show.

SECOND: Sleep Well.
They decide to let the guests sleep to their content, without waking them up or morning Yoga. And they joke that is sounds like a nursing home, hahahhahahahaaa.
Yeah, they say that, but then they give us preview when Hyori doing morning karaoke around the house to wake up the guest. That part just so funny.
Well, who can complain when you're being woken up by Hyori.

They also made a modification to the house to give the best service for their guest.
There are additional facilities which the guest can use. The B&B new pride:

1. Warm Open-Air Tub

 They really can do something like this? 

They freakin' installed an Open-Air Warm Tub!!

 2. Ger

The couple called is as Ger. But the translation said it a Yurt.

But I will use Ger, since they originally said that.

It looks so cozy and warm.

If we have camp fire on first season to sit around at night.

On winter, they can sit together warmly in the Ger.

Then...
They introduce us our new employee, Yoona.
Our lovely lady Yoona.

Cuts to Yoona interview with the crew.

Our new employee spec:
1. She can cook many dishes
2. She can speak a bit Chinese and Japanese
3. Can drive
4. *highlighted* Overflowing passion

Finally, it's the D-1

Sangsoon starts the day feeding the pets and wiping floor.
And then the couple receive message from their soon-to-be-their-new-employee saying that she (since we already knew it's Yoona) already on the plane heading to Jeju.

Hyori suddenly become so excited and curious about the new employee and decided to start cooking a meal.
While the couple prepares and clean the house, the new employee rings the bell.
Hyori shouts: IT'S YOONA!
The couple seems delighted. Who doesn't?

Hyori even running outside with umbrella welcoming her. And soon, Sangsoon also come out help her bring her luggage inside.

Hyori said that actually Sangsoon hope for male employee because they need to do a lot firewood since it's winter. (Now we know the purpose of Park Bogum there. I hope our Bogum will become much help later. I suddenly remember how clueless and innocent he is on Youth Over Flower. His action just woken up my motherly instinct, hahahhaaa.)
Then Yoona said that she can do that.
But Sangsoon said there is no way he can ask her to do that.
Seriously, who can ask Yoona to do that. In addition, he is Sangsoon, our sweet man, the Nation's Husband.

They start to have a meal together and explain what they need to do today.
Yoona jokes: so that's why you're feeding me first. Hhaha.

The couple introduces her new work station: the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, 2nd floor, etc. We can see that in few days ahead, the house already feels like home to her and she doing her job diligently.

The total applicant were about 210.000 people!
I really admire the crew to select and interview them all. Because seriously, the guests are also a main aspect for this show. It will affect the dynamic of the show so much. My favorite of Season 1 is the Explorer team, they were just so fun!


After they finish their meal, they start to do the preparation for welcoming the guest tomorrow.
Part 1: Eat well -> pick tangerine guest's welcome drink
Part 2: Eat well -> grocery shopping
Part 3: Eat well -> buy breads
Part 4: Sleep well -> buy winter blanket

After buying all the needs, they get back to lodging, Sangsoon start cooking for dinner while Yoona wash the dishes.
Then, out of the blue, Hyori starts to try understand Yoona character by reading some unidentified book (some kind of fortune telling actually, lol).
It goes on for while even after Sangsoon calls for help.
It makes Yoona sit uncomfortably in dilemma to help Sangsoon or sit there with Hyori.
The confusion really looks cute with an intense violin BGM to boots, it's hilarious.
To eventually Sangsoon calls them: Harry Up! Hahahahahaa.

They starts dinner deliciously.
The menu is: Pasta and Steak. Gosh, this show also is not good to watch when you're hungry. It makes you carving for something good.
After meals, they listen to Girls Generation song, Holiday!
I'm not a fan of GG but actually the song sounds fun, I have to check it on Youtube.

After that, Yoona sent to her lodging for having some rest, with an assist from Sangsoon who help her bring her luggage. Her residence is the same as IU's but the layout is a bit different. I like how cozy it always looks.

The new morning embarks.
Our couple start the day with morning Yoga. It always to crack me up when they doing Yoga at the studio. The instructor passionate voice telling a Yoga position name (which for not a Yoga fan like me sounds like a spells, lol) so hilarious.

Sun sets up.
Yoona wake up a bit late and seems to hurry up.
There's no way she can be late on the first day!
She run to the main house bringing something: it's the infamous Waffle Maker.
Yoona start making a waffle dough and put it in the machine.

Not so long after, the waffle is done. The shape looks good!
The couple also let us know that the taste also great.
It. Makes. Me. Craving. For. Waffle. Gosh!

Infamous Waffle Maker?
Let me tell you about it. It does look splendid and sophisticated.
It suddenly become a number 1 search and quickly sold out after the episode airs. Hahaha.
Even causing netizen suspect whether the Waffle maker is a product placement.
The production team have to clarified this issue issue and told us that the machine is purely what Yoona prepares for the couple.

After a warm yummy breakfast, they start cleaning the house.
We can see how hardworking Yoona is. Even Hyori praise her cleaning skill.

Finally, we get introduced to our first guest.
The bright 5 youths who is apparently a Judo athletes.

Once the guests arrived by their car, they scream frantically once they saw Sangsoon.
The caption is: Screaming for Sogil's (the area of their home) handsome guy.
HAHAHAHAHAHAAA.
One of them said, "He's not ugly at all!"
I'M LAUGHING OUT LOUD.
I can feel you all. He is just a pure charm.

Before we got to know them better, the episode ends here.
Leaving us the anticipation of next week episode with their new cheerful first guest, and the second guest comes in shortly.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new Season exactly living up the expectation from the previous season.
It still has the same warm vibe.
Hyori and Sangsoon still sweet and comical as ever.
Not to mention Yoona!
As I told you before, I'm not GG fan, but I like her. She always seems so bright, working hard, and friendly despite her high rank celebrity status.
I can expect more interesting story within this season carried out by Yoona. I think it would be more lively with her around.
And it's no more a secret that, we will also have a new part-time employee, PARK BOGUM!
We haven't see him yet, but it left us with another anticipation.
