Nationwide ratings for episode 65 that aired on May 8: 6.8% (cr. Naver TV)
1. [+1582, -8] Takoyaki store: I want to sell dumplings but I haven't properly thought it through so Baek Jong Won, give me the recipe. Kebab store: At this rate, I'll get scolded a bit for the sanitation and I'll hit daebak after getting the recipe, right? ^^ Seriously, why are they helping businesses that don't think this much, isn't clean, and you can see right through them (their intentions)..? Of course, I know that people like stimulating things but this isn't right, their mindset is an issue but their cleanliness is a crime ㅠㅠ I thought it was 'PD Notebook' (t/n: 'PD Notebook' is an undercover investigative journalism show)
2. [+911, -6] Kebab store owner.. please.. don't run a restaurant.. give up the solution.. don't say things like "give me a chance".. yield to other people.. and apologize to the people who gave ate your kebabs in the past..
3. [+747, -6] I was annoyed while watching the takoyaki store but the kebab store is worse~ He only cleaned things that were visible because they were filming and does it make sense to throw out the trash once a week? What does everyone do when their business isn't doing well? Do they only look at their phones and talk to one another?
4. [+577, -4] They want to earn money but don't want to work but they want to earn money comfortably, that's a bad mindset
5. [+215, -6] The worst villain has appeared again, the kebab store ㅉㅉ (t/n: ㅉㅉ is like tsk tsk)

1. [+975, -4] So in the end, they're going to help them.. When you watch the preview, you see Baek Jong Won expressing his anger and they release it like he's not going to help them but when you watch the episode live, he helps them again... The pattern is always the same ㅠ
2. [+650, -14] If they're doing a good job but the food is a bit so so or they have an insufficient factor then you can help that. Why are they helping a restaurant that knows nothing?
3. [+488, -6] The cleanliness being a mess is also an issue but it's more mindboggling that he's selling off frozen kebabs as homemade kebabs and the way they maintain the frozen food is a mess - can you call this a restaurant
4. [+442, -17] Honestly, I can't trust the kebab store. When their business is doing good, they earn 100,000 won a day but when their business isn't doing well, they have no money. Even in a situation like this, he has no desperation and he swaggers on over because Baek Jong Won called him and say, "Oh? Hello?" ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'll never go to a place like that
5. [+149, -6] The frustrated people are the precious customers who'll earn them money but do they think they'll earn money from the show????? Do you think an Avengers with no Thanos would've succeeded? ㅋㅋㅋ

1. [+1553, -7] Exactly why are they helping people like this??????????????
2. [+867, -11] The hamburger store bastard needs to stop fucking smiling/laughing. I get that he's smiling/laughing because he ran out of ingredients but (is that right? or are you mocking?) but that's a bad habit. I can straight up tell that he might behave like that in a serious situation or when he's talking to adults, he needs to fix that quickly. That type of mocking, smirk isn't good for customers either. Learn how to give a pretty smile.
3. [+636, -13] They can't give solutions to that place except for the pasta restuarant and the donkatsu restaurant, the kebab store owner is really unlikable. He said he has three older sisters, you can tell that he grew up loved. He doesn't know how to do anything by himself and I think if a woman married him, they're going to suffer a bit.
4. [+319, -9] Dream Garden Mall or whatever, don't go and give them business~ Why are you trying to give business to people who are just trying to luck out!!
5. [+130, -3] Seriously, the only store I feel affectionate towards is the pasta store, it's always the stores who don't do well that are stubborn, don't listen, and lies. The burger store only sold 12 burgers, closed the business, walked around, and when he said not to sit customers in front of his store cause it's hard to clean, I was going crazy. He's lazy and a bitch, ugh I feel bad for Baek Jong Won who's trying to help things like that

1. [+1127, -25] Now that I see it, the worst was the octopus restaurant ㅋㅋㅋ Why does he keep switching from this and that? He said he's going to do to this but brings a different menu and he said he's doing this menu but brings another different one ㅋㅋㅋ His menu changes every week ㅋㅋ He contacts the writers at dawn and changes the menu again, he's being stubborn saying he's going to the menu that he wants to but he was hella stunned because Baek Jong Won told him to capture the taste himself ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just let it go, did you come out to fool around ㅡㅡ

Original Source (Sports Chosun via Naver): "Do I have to hand it to you!"...'Alley Restaurant' Baek Jong Won, 'rage' over giving up business at Yeo Soo Dream Garden Mall
1. [+2580, -35] It seems like the young business owners are trying to easily luck out so while watching, it was frustrating and they're dislikable.. The female boss of the takoyaki place~ The person who said she wants to become a specialty place for dumplings, confidently comes out carrying pre-made (store bought) dumpling wrappers.. Even with the burger store, if you point out his mistakes, the thing that immediately shows up on his face seems like his hot temper.. The kebab store, the person is lazy by nature so even if they have a grand opening, he's the type to do business dirty right away.. In conclusion, it's overall a crisis!
2. [+1447, -26] Burger store owner, if you're going to run a business, you should first learn how to be humble. I lose confidence in you just by looking at your expression
3. [+860, -22] This episode is a combination of all the problematic bosses that have appeared up until now.
↪ [+95, -2] Let's exclude the pasta restaurant
4. [+722, -10] When he said, "How is there an unfair circumstance like this!", I hope it stung
5. [+586, -5] It makes me think of the naengmyun restaurant Baek Jong Won highly praised. They suffered that much and their skills were outstanding but since they weren't popular, they were going to close down their restaurant.. 'Alley Restaurant' needs to give solutions to people like that. It's really shameful to give decades-worth know-hows/tips to academy students who haven't prepared at all.

2. [+944, -14] No matter how much of a rush you were in, is it normal to call past 12 at night and send Kakaotalk messages at 2 AM and 4 AM?
3. [+615, -11] In the end, they obtained Baek Jong Won's solution and their business is doing well... Gosh... ㅋㅋㅋ I really wish earnest people who are struggling are able to benefit from it
4. [+645, -100] Anyways, Kim Sung Joo comforting the kebab store owner, he really has a good personality
Original Source (Sports Chosun via Naver): 'Alley Restaurant' Even Yeo Soo Dream Garden Mall's problematic octopus restaurant's solution is successful
1. [+2947, -31] The Yeo Soo episode was too much.. Where has Alley Restaurant's initial intention and purpose gone.. They teach everyone recipes and they fix it after the restaurant understands their issues.. If they're going to be like this, they should change their name to 'Startup Restaurant' and restart their show ㅡㅡ
2. [+1829, -14] Sigh~ Everyone except for the pasta restaurant was all~ annoying. It's their business, they should put in effort no matter what and endure it even if it's hard. The production team begged them and they complained saying it's hard, the dumpling restaurant was frowning even though it's their restaurant - does Jung In Sun have to pat you and tell you that you can do it, when it's their business
3. [+1387, -14] The thing I felt after watching the Dae Jeon and Yeo Soo episodes is that it's better to not do the youth malls. Starting from the cleanliness, it's poor 0 it's cancerous to the people who are watching
4. [+1136, -6] They spoon fed them everything

This alley was so annoying...
Literally all the businesses except for the pasta restaurant was so annoying
They literally expected Baek Jong Won and the show to just spoon feed them everything
ㅡ.ㅡ
I literally lost my words when the dumpling owner said she wanted to become a dumpling store and came out with store bought dumpling wrappers...
like are u srs gurl??? wat is u doing??
