Hyori's Homestay

A couple, living peacefully in Jeju, suddenly is busy cleaning and food shopping in preparation to open a bed and breakfast. The first guests are due to arrive!

Hyori's B&B opens for business. There are yoga classes, free snacks, and fresh watermelon juice. The sole employee is singer IU, which causes some excitement.

Singer IU is at the job, with mixed results. Her housework is so-so, but she manages to make coffee and noodles amid interruptions. New guests arrive soon.

Today’s B&B guests include a couple that is busy making Makgeolli rice wine and harvesting greens. There are also three siblings who dive in search of octopi.

The weekend rush hits and the place is packed. Hyori and her husband hunt for an RV to house the overflow. And, one afternoon, a theme song for the B&B is born.

IU, the B&B’s only employee, is off to Seoul to perform. Hyori and Sangsoon are overwhelmed, but things settle down when guests sit around a nighttime bonfire.

IU’s secret recipe for pumpkin soup starts the day, followed by black bean Chinese noodles. Hyori reveals her worries about appearing on some TV programs.

The B&B staff has a blast going to the market and eating out during their first day off. The next day, though, there are no guests in sight. What happened?

A rainy day inspires preparing scallion pancakes. Romance is in the air when a young couple checks in, but IU feels lonely. But then a guest her age arrives.

The ladies go out, leaving Sangsoon alone and lonely, with nothing to do but fix leaky pipes. Then, a guest who is a hairstylist shows up and transforms him.

For a peaceful getaway, Hyori takes IU hiking up Geum Oreum and is inspired to dance. Back at the B&B, leaky pipes prompt an escape to Hyori’s sister’s place.

IU is off to visit her brother abroad, leaving the B&B owners swamped. Then Hyori has a makgeolli hangover, so teaching the morning yoga class seems unlikely.

Hyori, Sangsoon, and IU visit the beach. Though some fear the water, they all enjoy each other’s company, especially knowing it is their last night together.

Though today’s breakfast is the same, everything else feels different because it’s the B&B’s last day. It’s hard to let go, so stay tuned for the epilogue, too.
