Through the joyful and touching stories of the restaurant family members, who are not that perfect in their lives, and the variety of stories of the restaurant guests with all kinds of characteristics, the drama suggests a direction of a heart-moving "alternative family". Drama Writer: Kim Ji-Woo Product Director: Park Chan-Hong WRITER'S NOTE Very interestingly, life of a man is similar to the life of Kimchi. Kimchi’ tastes are bitter, spicy, sour, sweet, and even puckery. These five kinds of tastes are exactly same as those of the human life. Through the process of fermentation, Kimchi generates lots of live micro-organisms. But, surprisingly, those that are profitable to human being collaborate with each other to push out the harmful ones. This is like love and sincerity of a person can be the sources of overcoming frustration and disappointment. When all kinds of ingredients, that apparently don’t’ look to match with each other, are blended in together and pass through all those processes, then finally Kimchi is complete to produce such a profound taste. In human life, many, who have different personalities and goals, meet with each other, become to understand and love each other, and pass through a process of being ‘fermented’ to form a new family. Kimchi’s life is just same as that of the human life. The background of this drama is a traditional Korean restaurant that is famous with its Kimchi. Through the joyful and touching stories of the restaurant family members, who are not that perfect in their lives, and the variety of stories of the restaurant guests with all kinds of characteristics, the drama suggests a direction of a heart-moving ‘alternative family’. No matter how difficult human life would be, you can still be happy when there are people around you that you can stay with them. This is the wisdom of our ancestors that is fully soaked in Kimchi, and the drama wishes to serve an enjoyable dinner table with such ‘smart’ and ‘mysterious’ Kimchi dishes. DRAMA REVIEW A no-pollution clean naturalism drama Gichan, the father of Gangsan and Uju, the main characters, has managed the Cheon Ji In restaurant with a heart that there should be no one starving. With such a warm heart of Gichan, this drama shows the loving heart of the family members that care for each other, the affectionate relationships among the people, and the love that transforms hatred and dislike to forgiveness, not to revenge. Whole Korea will be ‘infected’ by the ‘happiness virus’ through Kimchi Family. The encounter of the fantastic world of Kimchi and human being ‘Hobak(Pumpkin) Kimchi’ made by a poor son to serve his toothless mother, ‘Sesame leaf Kimchi Ssambab’ made with a heart of chastising troublesome kids, ‘Kimchi Jam Injeolmi Roll’ made to encourage kids forsaken by their parents, and ‘Gukhwa Kimchi’ made to comfort people close to death, and etc. … So many kinds of Kimchis are introduced through Kimchi Family. And, each kind of Kimchi bears its own kind of story. Such a wonderful world of mysterious Kimchi with its varieties will be well mingled with the lives of the characters in Kimchi Family to provide a series of touching stories and lots of visual entertainments. Off course, it will be a great opportunity to make known the excellent characteristics of Korean Kimchi to all over the world. Meet the best humanistic family in Korea. Eunbi, an eight year old girl, abandoned by her mother, Mr. Seol, an old man living alone in an old apartment in the neighborhood and have meals in Cheon Ji In, Pyeongman, a Korean medicine doctor who freely provides herbal medicines for old people who have no money even tough he himself lives in financial difficulty, and lots of other guests coming to the restaurant with all kinds of their own stories… Through a series of ‘fermentation’ processes of these people, who were totally outsiders from each other, to be a genuine family, like those processes of the completion of Kimchi, the meaning of an alternative family can be apprehended. A story warmer than a humanistic drama and lovely than a melodrama Hotae, who used to live wildly as an gangster, met Gangsan, his toughest rival in his life. These two characters always fight with each other but, interestingly, shows very good harmony when crisis comes. When, Haejun, a suspicious man who is so certain that Gangsan is his soulmate, join in the stage, the drama joyfully describes the fermentation process of love with number of unexpected developments. Dosik, who cares and loves Uju in his own style, dares even to dream to make Uju, who used to meet so many bad guys, his love. The drama will show that how these two characters eventually overcome many obstacles through the brave love of Uju in a lovely and affectionate approach.

mskololia1 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yay!. Hi Kona....welcome back. The name is interesting but gives me nothing in the way of what may unfold in this drama. Ahhh, yes...another cable channel heard from. Song is a restaurant worker. I wonder if he will be serving customers or cooking up delicious morsels or handling things behind the scenes....The fermentation process takes time so he will definitely win them all over....Are there grandparents and children in this drama since it appears like a family-owned business? The more I think on this the more heartwarming it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonaBeans Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Friday, September 02, 2011 Song Il-Kook considers drama with Mawang PD by javabeans | September 1, 2011 Song Il-kook is reportedly in contention as the leading man in a new drama with an interestingly uninteresting title: It’s 발효가족, which means literally Fermentation Family. It’s a horrible sounding name, so for now I’m going to call it by its phonetic Korean name, Balhyo Gajok. Phew, that sounds better to my ear, strangely, though it means the same thing. There’s barely any information about the project in official news reports, but from the dribs and drabs I’ve been able to pick up, the fermentation part of the title likely comes from the drama’s involvement with kimchi, although it also deals with gangsters. Now there’s a title for you: Kimchi and Gangsters. True, that would make it sound much more comedic, but then again, it’s not like fermentation conjures up images of badass gangsters either. But before you mentally check out of the show before it’s even begun, there’s one key consideration: Directing it is PD Park Chan-hong, who did Rebirth (aka Resurrection) and Mawang (aka The Devil) — two dark thriller dramas oft-noted for their high-quality storytelling and acting (and, as it happens, both starring Uhm Tae-woong). That track record right there is enough to make me sit up and take notice, because it’s rare that we get dark K-drama thrillers that work well, and here’s a guy with two standouts on his resumé. A rep confirmed that Song has received the script and is considering the role, but cautioned that it’s too early to make casting statements. (There are wee little rumors that Kim Jung-eun — I Am Legend, Forever the Moment — is in contention for the female lead, but those are not yet substantiated.) Song had a modest success last year with the weekend action drama A Man Called God, but fared less well this year with Crime Squad. Balhyo Gajok will be produced by Olive Nine, but currently doesn’t have broadcaster commitment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Monday, September 19, 2011 Song Il-Kook goes general service, in "Fermented Family" Actor Song Il-Kook chose to go general service. He confirmed a role in the jTBC drama "Fermented Family" which is also well known as director Park Chan-hong and writer Kim Jee-woo's come back project. Song Il-Kook takes on the role of Ki Ho-tae who is blended into the habit of rough talking, not having the ability to plan things and being spontaneous. Being an orphan, Ho-tae thinks his parents didn't want him but he doesn't hesitate to do anything. He just goes head first into things but unlike his curtness, he is very warm inside. Song Il-Kook starts shooting at the end of September. He said, "I am happy to be able to work with the writer and director I've wanted to work with for years. I usually take a while to read my scenario but I read "Fermented Family" very quickly and made my decision. I have never had a role like Ho-tae before so I look forward to myself acting it out". Meanwhile, the drama is based in a Korean restaurant famous for its Kimchi. Ho-tae finds a piece of his past from the 'Cheon Ji-in' he sees on TV and spontaneously gets a job working there. This drama is due to be released in December. Source: Korean Nate - English Hancinema jTBC is South Korea's newest cable TV provider, supported by and granted a government license to operate in April 2011. It is scheduled to go on air January 2012. But it sounds like December 2011 now. I don't know enough to react to jTBC. Will there be less pressure with ratings and filming? It sounds like they will complete the shooting before airing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Related News: Park Chan-hong and Kim Jee-woo come back with jTBC drama Director Park Chan-Hong Director Park Chan-hong and writer Kim Jee-woo from "Revenge" and "Devil" come back with jTBC drama "Fermented Family" after 4 years of absence. This drama is about two daughters who get ownership of their father's restaurant, and someone who sets about looking for a piece of his past, working together. Hot-blooded young men Ho-tae and Kang-san meet to set-up this pleasurable and cheeky love story. The producers of "Fermented Family" said, "This drama deals with the alternative family that was the root of the revenge series "Revenge" and "Devil". The people who gather at the restaurant "Cheon Ji In" go through several stages of fermentation and maturation to create a real family". Based in a restaurant well known for its kimchi, "Fermented Family" has been chosen as jTBC's special drama. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Song Il-kook lands role in new drama Actor Song Il-kook has landed a role in a TV series set for premiere in December, according to the show's promoter Baggat on Tuesday. Baggat announced through a press release that Song will take on the role of the rough, unorganized and spontaneous Ki Ho-tae in the upcoming drama named "Fermented Family" (translated title) set to air on JoongAng Ilbo's new general programming cable channel jTBC. The show will tell of what happens when Ki, who has been hurt by his parents having abandoned him when he was young, on impulse starts working at a restaurant he thinks will tell him about his past because he has found a hint to his childhood from it. Ki will be anxious that someone may spot him working at the restaurant yet will gradually become assimilated into the restaurant owner's family and develop feelings for the main female character Kang San. Song, 39, rose to stardom with KBS drama “Sea God” in 2004 after debuting as 27th class of MBC's actors in 1998. He has since starred in other hit dramas including “Jumong” (MBC, 2006), “Lobbyist” (SBS, 2007), “The Land of Wind” (KBS, 2008), “A Man Called God (MBC, 2010)” and played the main character in the 2005 film “The Art Of Seduction.” His most recent role was in KBS series "Detectives In Trouble" which ended its run in late April.

According to jTBC on the 28th, Park Jin-hee will take on the role of chef Lee Kang-san whose life goal is to become the best fusion restaurant chef in the country. She has decided to join "Fermented Family" while it was said that she was and wasn't coming over to the general service channel. She will co-act with actor Song Il-gook. He takes on the role of Ki Ho-tae who is a very spontaneous person. "Fermented Family" is done by director Park Chan-hong from "Revenge" and "Devil" and writer Kim Jee-woo. It shows the story of mysterious and shady customers who visit a Korean restaurant. Coming soon on the 7th of December. Source : news.nate.com/view/20...

KonaBeans Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Park Jin-Hee boards Song Il-Kook drama Source: Asia10 Actress Park Jin-hee has been cast in a TV series starring Song Il-kook, the show's promoter Baggat said on Wednesday. A press release by Baggat showed that Park will play Lee Kang-san, who is usually carefree yet passionate in the kitchen, in the upcoming drama named "Fermented Family" (translated title) set to air on JoongAng Ilbo's new general programming cable channel jTBC starting December 7.

KonaBeans Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Park Jin-hee and Song Il-Kook Headline new Drama by girlfriday | September 28, 2011 Yay, Park Jin-hee is coming back to dramaland! The star of Giant and The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry has signed on to headline a new cable drama opposite Song Il-kook (Crime Squad). Song has been considering the role and other names have been bandied about for the lead actress, but both are now confirmed to star. The drama is called Fermentation Family or Balhyo Gajok, which is just the weirdest title ever. But now that a character description is in for Park Jin-hee, it starts to make a little more sense (it still sounds horrible though). She’ll be playing a naturally gifted chef who dreams of becoming the chef of the best fusion restaurant in Korea. But the reality is that she’s the cook in a tiny neighborhood joint with bizarre local clientele, including hotheaded gangsters like the one played by Song Il-kook. The story is about the unlikely family that forms among the people who are connected through this neighborhood eatery. So fermentation can be literal, like with many Korean foods (kimchi, soybean paste), and it can also be figurative, as in “raising a family.” I just wish it were a better-sounding word in English. “Family” also takes on a double meaning if it refers to the mobster family as well as the bizarro family that forms around the leads. This drama comes from the PD-writer team behind Mawang / The Devil and Rebirth / Resurrection, PD Park Chan-hong and writer Kim Ji-woo. Those aren’t exactly light and fluffy dramas, which makes me think that this might skew towards the dark thriller type of drama. That’s what I thought initially with the writer, director, and Song Il-kook. But the premise as it sounds now seems to center on Park Jin-hee’s character, and on her restaurant as the focal point for this ragtag family. And to me, ragtag family sounds comical (and awesome). It’s anyone’s guess which way it’ll go. Fermentation Family premieres December 7 on jTBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time in “Fermented Family”, he appears as a perfectionistic and germophobic Korean food chef O Hae-jun, and fought against Song Il Kook the second round. O Hae-jun, played by Kim Yeong-hun, has a handsome-looking, calm and gentle character, showy cooking skills, and wealthy family background. Seemingly he has everything and seems to be a perfect ideal type, but in reality he has a fragile mind and is timid, easily cross-grained cute nobleman. In “Fermented Family”, Hae-jun, whose mother is a skilled Korean cook, gets a job at the famous kimchi restaurant “Heaven, Earth and Man”, with the aim of becoming a Korean food chef and to be approved by his mother. And he have a conflict with Ki Ho-ttae(Song Il Kook) all the time, who just starts working at “Heaven, Earth and Man” at the same time. The drama depicts Hae-jun’s growing up process. Accepting the role O Hae-jun and joins “Fermented Family”, Kim Yeong-hun expresses his feeling : “ The encounter to the best piece “Fermented Family” and the encounter to the director Mr. Park Chan-hong, the writer Ms. Kim Jee-woo, I think all of this encounters are a destiny and a bond. As I get such a fortune and chance, I’ll do my best to perform Hae-jun, in order to reciprocate to the director, the writer and the audiences. As the appearance of Song Il kook and Park Jin-hee has confirmed, “Fermented Family” attracts increasing attention. It will be broadcasted as a jTBC opening special mini-series on December 7, 2011.
