So nice outside.
It's so nice out.
- Amazing weather. / - So beautiful.
Where do we go?
We're supposed to see the village chief.
Where does he live?
Hello, ma'am. Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Pardon me, but where does the village chief live?
This way at the end of this road.
Where that car is parked?
On top of this hill.
Up there?
I see a white truck.
I think we should take a bullet train up there.
It's too far.
(I'm already dizzy...)
Are you picking greens?
Wild greens?
What kind of greens, ma'am?
Aster scaber.
Aster scaber?
Can you show us?
(She happily obliges)
Aster scaber!
- They're big. / - Really big.
So this is what they look like.
(Aster scaber is a perennial plant of chrysanthemum)
(The leaves are edible)
(Loved for its bitterness)
(Rough aster sprouts 6 to 7 leaves that can be fried)
(Long oval-shaped, heart-shaped and serrated)
(They grow up to 1 to 1.5m tall)
It smells nice too.
If they're this big...
(It's as big as the palm of a hand)
I guess a lot of wild greens grow in the mountains.
No, this is from my field.
Oh, your field.
So you grow this.
(Aster scaber grows in cool and shady places)
(The roots grow well no matter how you plant them)
We're going to dig up our first wild greens.
Let's go.
(Excited)
(These guys are smiling)
Gee, this is nice.
Gee, this is nice?
Hey, old guy.
Now you have your hands behind your back.
That's the most old guy thing you can do.
He's 29 but he seems like he's the oldest.
(Sam Okyere came to Korea from Ghana 10 years ago)
(He adapted well and has a folksy old guy charm)
I guess this place isn't that populated. It's so quiet.
It's quiet.
(Meokjeom is filled with sounds of nature)
So there's a plum orchard here.
I want some plums.
This is mugwort.
Isn't it?
I think so. It smells like mugwort.
This is mugwort?
(Mugwort is a perennial plant of chrysanthemum)
(The cone-shaped flower leans to one side)
(It has white hairs on the back)
(Covered with fine spider web-like hairs)
That's dandelion.
Dandelion. That's edible too.
(Dandelions have leaves growing from the root)
(The edges are serrated with a big top)
(The white hairs on the flower gradually disappear)
I can spot some now.
They're all over Seoul too.
Normally we'd just walk by these things.
Yeah.
I'll let you all in on a secret.
The owner of the coffee shop
told me something that's really good for men.
(Good for men?)
(The guys are all focused)
It's called...
It's really good for men.
- Really? / - Look.
Let's hang in there. We might find this.
This? This.
There's this green called a plantain.
Plantain?
It's good for men.
Really?
We'll find some aster
and in addition...
Yes, yes.
We haven't even found any aster yet.
(So it's good for men?)
(Wait for us, wild greens!)
(The uncles are coming!)
Now I'm just looking for plantains.
(They should be going to the village chief's house...)
(They go up the hill)
(On the way to find the village chief's house)
(To find plantain)
(Wobble)
(Huffing)
We're all talking a lot less now.
Sheesh!
We have to keep going up?
We still have some ways to go.
How about we play rock, paper, scissors
and the loser goes and gets the village chief?
(They haven't even gone up 200m...)
Chief!
(Where is the chief's house?)
(Huffing)
It's so hot.
Gosh, this is a nice place.
It's pretty.
I hear water.
There's water.
- Welcome. / - It's nice here.
(Refreshing vale water welcomes the guys)
Wow, it's so pretty.
Look at the cherry blossoms falling.
It's a work of art.
This place is incredible.
- It's like a picture. / - So picturesque.
This place is nice. You could bathe in here.
Wash your back...
Oh, this must be the place.
Nice view.
I think this place has the best view.
That must be the village chief.
Now I know why he lives all the way up here.
- This is the royal suite. / - The best spot.
Hello, sir!
- Hello. / - Hello.
(Chief of Meokjeom Village, Choi Gwanho)
Hello.
Do you have plum tea?
I do.
That's the first thing you ask him?
What kind of manners are those?
That's the first thing you asked for.
You must be hot. Let's go in for a drink.
Yes. Thank you.
You read our minds.
Excuse our intrusion, sir.
- Please excuse us. / - Yes, thank you.
Hey, this view is insane. Wow...
Imagine seeing this first thing in the morning.
(A view of Jirisan from the front yard)
Taking in the mountain air in the morning...
Now that would be a good morning.
Good morning!
(They came for greens but they get a nice view)
This is so nice.
Wow, this is incredible.
(The blue sky)
(Flowers, butterflies)
(The birds sing)
(Meokjeom Village has 23 households)
(The village chief lives deep in the mountain)
This place is like a hospital.
I feel like I'll be cured here.
This is therapeutic.
You had quite the journey. I have hot plum tea.
Plum tea.
How old is this?
It's been aged for 6 years.
6 years?
It smells amazing.
This is the real deal.
I never thought he'd actually serve us plum tea.
Right, I thought we'd get the store-bought kind.
This should taste totally different.
You can't compare that with this. It's 6 years old.
(Plum extract made from plums grown in this village)
The smell...
(I want some now)
(I'm getting dizzy...)
Try it.
It's made with bedrock water.
Aquifer water?
Wow, it's delicious.
(He downed it all)
It smells amazing.
It's perfect.
The plums smell amazing.
Just like Sunghoon said, after we all sweat
this is perfect.
Especially with this breeze.
It's like I can taste the plum orchard.
(Delicious plum tea and a cool breeze)
I'm going to take a nap!
I really want to take a nap here.
So... We're here to dig up aster.
Does a lot of it grow near here?
Aster can be found in abundance.
You can find plenty, so dig up a lot.
This mountain is like a refrigerator.
Nice analogy.
(They enjoy a sweet break)
(Chapter 2: There are no weeds)
(Delicious wild greens in Jirisan)
Should we find some greens?
We should.
Let's go.
- Go ahead. / - Okay!
You take the lead, Junghwan.
It's nice weather to pick greens.
It's nice weather to pick greens.
We each have a basket.
He said there's aster everywhere.
Where is it?
This is like a movie.
It's so hard to keep walking.
This is like from "Spirited Away."
The wind is blowing more blossoms.
It's like it's snowing.
(It's snowing in spring, Junghwan)
(Isn't it great that we're here, Junhyeon?)
(Gosh)
(They forget their worries and enjoy the spring)
This is why you drink rice wine
when you come to pick wild greens.
It's so nice out!
You're right. And a drink would make things nicer.
You get to pick greens and get tipsy.
In the end you end up crawling home.
We'll end up buying wild greens instead.
We'll lose everything.
We'll say we dug up the store-bought greens.
How are we doing this?
(They're happy on their way to dig up greens)
(Moving to find aster)
(We got proper permission for this shot)
Is that plantain?
That?
It looks like mugwort.
This is dandelion.
Is this the right stuff?
No...
I can't really tell by looking.
I can't tell by looking.
It's not like we can try eating all these.
You could suddenly die.
Sunghoon, be careful about just eating anything.
You might end up dying.
This is a different color.
Right? It's spotted. I think it's this one though.
- Which one? / - These guys.
(The first aster suspect)
It has to be serrated, right?
What about this? It's kind of red.
This one looks different.
(Junghwan starts his investigation)
Don't eat it.
It wasn't this serrated.
(It's not as serrated)
It was longer.
The back looks different.
And they have purple stems.
So this isn't it.
None of these are.
I think this one is.
Huh?
How about this?
This is it.
That's it!
- It's purple here. / - Yeah.
Is this one?
(Let's see...)
Aster...
I feel like this is what we saw.
I'll try eating it.
- Is it right? / - This is...
It's right, it's right.
- I'm 100% sure. / - Really?
It has a bite to it.
Let me try.
It has a bite. A slight sting.
Nope.
I ate the wrong one.
No, this is right.
Not mine.
This is it, right?
Yes, that's right.
Mine looked the same yet tasted totally different.
That was evening primrose.
No wonder it tasted bitter.
(Evening primrose)
(The flowers only bloom at night)
(Slightly serrated long oval-shaped leaves)
(The roots are used as a fever reducer)
Now that we know, we can look for these.
Okay!
If you happen to spot plantains
but you eat them for yourself I'll be really angry.
You can tell at night.
You can tell by how it sounds when you pee.
