In Videos: Soy Sauce Love Story Commercial

It's the story we all grew up with. Girl cooks stew with soy sauce, girl feeds boy onion rings dipped in stew, boy falls in love with girl—wait, huh?

This commercial for Kim Ve Wei-Wong soy sauce is unintentionally hilarious. But as far as brand awareness, it does the trick; I don't think I'll forget the soy sauce that spawned such an epic romance. Watch the video and read the translation after the jump.

Many thanks to my mom for the translation. (If you find fault with its accuracy, you can take it up with her.) She explained that the juice/soup ("juice" being the literal translation) could potentially be cooked over and over again for years to develop its flavor. In Chinese cuisine the resulting liquid would be used as a sauce, hence why they're dipping the onion rings in it.
