"Candy, Quahog Marshmallow" is the tenth episode of the fourteenth season of the animated sitcom Family Guy, and the 259th episode overall. It aired on Fox in the United States on January 3, 2016, and is written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and directed by Joseph Lee. In the episode, Peter discovers that Quagmire was once a Korean soap star and they travel to South Korea to find the final tape of the series.
Peter Griffin goes to Glenn Quagmire's to pick up some clothes left by Dan/Ida. Once there, Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland Brown, and Joe Swanson come across some tapes of a Korean soap opera called Winter Summer which Quagmire starred in while in the service. Watching the tapes, they become enthused with the series but find the last episode is missing, leaving a cliffhanger unresolved and Quagmire unable to remember the final result. To find the final episode of Winter Summer, the men head to Korea to find it. When Lois tells Peter that work might call, Peter tells her to play an episode of Who's the Boss? to fool Angela.
Upon the guys arriving in South Korea where Cleveland stated that Donna texted him about her mother Dee Dee Tubbs' suicide, Quagmire is still remembered as a celebrity by the people both in public and when checking in to the hotel. While searching for the video for the final episode of Winter Summer, they run into Quagmire's former co-star Sujin (who portrayed Hee-Sun in Winter Summer) who invites them to see the final episode after dinner at her place. There, they find out that Quagmire and Sujin had more than just a working relationship, but were lovers as well. While preparing dinner, she lets the guys watch K-pop music videos to pass the time, they start seeing the music video to Sistar's "Touch My Body" and Peter becomes intrigued. After dinner, they watch the final episode to the soap opera with Quagmire's character leaving to return home in America. Peter's comments about the show inspire Quagmire to stay in Korea this time with his co-star and lover.
