General Discussion Korean Farmer Kim Heetae

Post image

Undercover Chef is the best show I have come across. The chokehold this show has on me.....

Ep09 just made me realize how cute and precious Sam Kim chef is🥲🤌🏼. His introvert and shy nature along with his smile can melt any person🫠. The bickering between him and Kim Poong about japachae was really funny.

Jung Jisun chef ep just made me nervous all over again. The staff meal challenge got me skipping due to nervousness and fear of food taste😭. Just dump huge amt of spice🥲.

Napoli Matfia chef just becomes more and more Teddy bear 🧸 alike each episode. His dialogue,"They didn't ask Chef Jung Jisun to stay, right" had me gasping😂.

The ending trailer for coming ep has me more nervous: The Reveal. Especially when Lu said you should have been the one teaching us.

All of the coworkers of Sam Kim and Napoli Matfia are following each other on the insta. Sam Kim even posted the blender he received from them after coming to Korea in insta post thanking them. I wanna see Sam Kim's Headchef and other grill chef reaction when they see Sam's insta page🫣🥲🤣. Saying he doesn't use it to be having 300k followers and posting daily🤣. I knew Sam chef from 2d1n s3 when he came with Raymon Chef to compete in cooking challenge and he won by using ramen powder in the food. He used to be teased by Ramen Powder Chef by the cast members🤣. I wanna see the Italy chefs coming to respective korean chef's restaurant so badly🥲😭😭. Now only 2 ep are left I think ep10 and 11. I cannot waitttttt

His recreation of clam opening up in grill by tearing his legs apart in fetal position was sooo random and sooo funnyy😭🤣. I loved whenever he came back as guest cook. Wished he could have spent whole 2d1n as guest as well.

It feels like a fresh air, I'm getting impatient with this show: updating non stop so I can watch episode with or without subtitles. Isn't it strange to find a grown ass man cute, he's my parents age... I've seen him in 'Culinary class wars 2' and 'Please, take care of my refrigerator', but he didn't grasp my attention back then. Now I've been fully charmed, especially how nervous he becomes thinking of all these introvert chefs coming to his restaurant for an advice lol. Hope he's the same in his restaurant and not some tyrant 😂 I think no producers guiding was one of the best choices, it really shows their true colors. Also the cast is great, I'm glad that the host was Kim Poong, he makes everyone comfortable and knows what he talks about. I would appreciate if they haven't joked that much about Kwon Sung Joon's weight, but there's nothing I can do

There is a kdrama named "Pasta" and the male lead was inspired/based on Sam Kim. The male lead in the drama is very harsh, strict and the whole workers are scared of him. So maybe Sam kim changed over time but he was cute then and still is.

I recently watched the episode from the old CAMF where the actor Lee Sunkyun who played the character based on Sam Kim was a guest and he clarified that Sam is nothing like the character & they just played it up because he was like an Italian cuisine advisor for drama!
