Pasta Ep 3&4

This weeks two episodes were fun to watch. We find out how Yoo kyung gets into la sfera. She goes to great lengths to get a job in the restraunt which holds great meaning to her. It turns out she even attended the culinary school nearby just so she could be close to la sfera. In the case that you dont have enough money to pay the bill, I think that koreans usually make them do dishes and other chores to pay off you dept, while in America..that s***ain't gonna fly. You'll probably be arrested for not paying your bill. You can see just how far she went to get to her dream job. I found Alex (the owner behind the curtains)a little annoying. Dude got her fired all because he couldnt wait till after they re-opened. In most korean dramas, I notice that there is always some people scheming in the back to get what they want. The annoying owner with the curly hair promises one of the chef a higher position if they can get their goal in getting the head chef fired. The two teams of chefs start to really get into little fights in this episode. In korea, status is everything and the chefs from italy have way better background with italian cooking which makes the original chefs angry. Also, i hadn't noticed it before but the italian chef with the long hair is actually Rose or Noh Min Woo who was an ex member of rock band TRAX. Its kind of weird seeing him with this hair style since he used to be blond with crazy hair. The part that was most interesting for me this week was the no pickle rule + the limited sauce on the pasta. Now, the sauce didnt confuse me since I normally dont like sauce on my pasta anyway but the pickles confused me. I noticed that koreans thing pasta is neukk ki hae (i dont know the american translation -_-) so they always need pickles. When I went to pasta restaurants in korea, I always thought it was weird when they gave me a side of pickles. I have yet to experience an american restaurant giving me a side of pickles for pasta so I'm pretty sure its just a korean thing.
