[all exclaim]
TASTEFULLY YOURS
[Beom-woo] Do you call yourself human?
How could you stab me in the back?
- [lighthearted music playing]
- How could you?
Jang Young-hye.
Young-hye! This isn't right.
[stammering] Yeah,
I was a bit rude to you.
I give you that.
But still, how could you do this to me?
[gasps] Someone like him
even has a girlfriend, huh?
How could you abandon me?
Okay, fine. I get that too. I get it.
But how could you leave me
for my older brother?
That's just wrong!
Is this a third-rate drama?
I'm going to crush you both. You hear me?
I'll steal all the recipes from this place
and crush you both.
What's he saying?
[slurring] All of you. I'll crush you all.
[music ends]
Hey.
[stammering] Where's Myung-sook? Tell me.
What do you want now?
What do you think?
What is it?
Your dad won't give you the restaurant
because you lost an employee?
[groans]
I'm the owner!
My father
is the chairman.
You'll never become the owner. [sighs]
I'm the owner!
- [Western music plays]
- [groaning] Let go.
Want me to twist your arm again?
- Want me to pull out your hair?
- [groans]
- [both groaning]
- Let go. Damn it.
[lighthearted music plays]
- Let go.
- You let go.
[music ends]
My chest
What did you say earlier?
Me? What? Why?
Be honest.
Why did you come all the way here?
You
came to recharge, right?
No?
Ah
Hmm? Hmm?
Ah [stammers]
The reason I came here?
- Yeah, I came to recharge.
- [Choon-seung groaning]
I knew it. You lost your girlfriend,
so you came to find peace of mind, right?
I lost I lost what?
[Choon-seung screams]
Oh, my ribs!
Hey, what the heck are you?
- [door thuds]
- Didn't I tell you already?
This is my new boss.
You lost your girlfriend
to your older brother of all people?
What? I lost what to my brother?
- Do you guys even know who I am?
- Yeah, I know!
You're just a loser
who farts about town bullying others
because your family's well-off.
Ah
[stammering] That call
where I mentioned my brother?
You thought it was about my girlfriend?
It wasn't. It wasn't about that at all.
You poor thing.
- Hey.
- Poor thing.
Hey, it's not what you think.
- It's not.
- Hey, you.
I'll see to it that your restaurant flops.
You're so loud!
What are you still on about, you moron?
"Moron"?
- Damn you. You have a death wish?
- [groans] Hey, damn you too.
- Let go.
- Let go.
- I said let go.
- Let go!
- You let go first.
- Let go on three.
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
[both scream]
[Beom-woo] My hair!
- You got my hair!
- [Myung-sook laughing]
TASTEFULLY YOURS
- [phone buzzing]
- [Yu-jin] Director Han, wake up.
Han Beom-woo.
MANAGER LEE YU-JIN
Han Beom-woo.
Director Han.
Sir.
If you at least get the recipe
for seopsanjeok, the main dish,
I'll get a restaurant set up.
[sighs]
Yo, good morning to you.
Why are you working so hard so early?
[Beom-woo hums, grunts]
[gasps]
My gosh, look at your head.
You have a bald spot.
[chuckles] I know. It's fine.
It's an honorable wound that shows
I fought for our restaurant.
Honorable wound, my ass.
You know the seopsanjeok
you made last time?
Can you make it again?
It was so good that I kept thinking of it.
Then find more wild pine mushrooms.
I'm not going through that madness again.
Hey, wait a second.
Do you have the recipe?
It was so good
that I couldn't stop thinking about it.
Maybe I could make it myself
if I knew the recipe
What if you know it?
You think you can make it?
Okay.
Make me just one then.
I'll watch from the side.
- [sighs]
- I really want some.
[door opens]
[landlord] It's messy on the outside,
but it's pretty nice inside.
What do you think?
It's pretty cool, isn't it?
My word. Look at how clean
the kitchen is. [chuckles]
I don't need a kitchen.
I'll be using it as a warehouse.
- You are?
- Yes.
That's just great.
It might be a restaurant right now,
but this building
was put up to be a warehouse.
- What kind of nonsense is that?
- Look at the room inside.
You should see every corner for yourself.
Come with me. Look outside.
It spreads out like Provence.
It looks like a field in France.
Go take a look. [chuckles]
- What do you think you're doing?
- [landlord] I'm working, of course.
I'm showing the place around
to a new tenant.
Yes, exactly.
Why would you show a tenant
around a perfectly fine restaurant?
What are you calling "perfectly fine"?
Everyone's saying this place went under.
What do you mean?
The whole marketplace is saying
this restaurant's ruined.
The rumor is all over town.
Don't pretend it's not true.
Who spread such a ridiculous rumor?
- What on earth?
- [tenant] Ma'am?
[landlord] Yes, I'm coming.
[tenant] Could you get rid of this garden?
Could it be
Could it be
[Western music plays]
Geez, I don't feel like working
this morning.
[wind rush sound effect]
What just passed me by?
This feels so ominous.
- [whimsical music playing]
- I have a feeling of who it was.
It's that bastard.
Now that I'm thinking about it,
I'm not sure anymore.
I'm not sure, but I'm pretty certain.
What's the difference?
I swear it was that punk.
Even if it was him,
there's nothing we can do.
We'll give as good as we got.
Two, three, four times over.
What if we go after him
only to make things worse?
Hey, wake up.
Are you Mo Yeon-joo?
You're not your usual self.
You can't use words
to get to a hooligan like him.
It's not just that.
They're saying
the restaurant I work at failed.
That's a serious blow to my pride!
Global warming must actually be serious.
It's getting so hot out.
[gasps] What's this? It's beautiful.
[Choon-seung] Ever heard of a Rolax watch?
- Blinding, isn't it?
- Speak of the devil.
K-dramas don't drag it out these days.
Hey!
Don't you think your face
is more of a problem than global warming?
Stay away. He's good-for-nothing trash.
What did you say?
[scoffs] So you have time
for a cup of tea?
Is your restaurant doing all right?
[Choon-seung gasps] It's doing so well.
It's not like the restaurant
on the other side of the stream.
I heard they flopped already.
Word spreads fast
in a local community, you know?
I see. [chuckles]
See? He spread the rumor.
Rumor?
You got the wrong person.
What rumor?
There's a rumor that I spread?
Do you have proof?
[huffs] No, wait. [chuckles]
I'll hold back just this once.
- Since this isn't my home ground.
- [childlike] "It's not my home ground."
- Why that little
- "Not my home ground."
Get up here.
- What? What do you think you can do?
- [Yeon-joo grunts]
Let's talk about it later.
[sighs] I don't think
you have the time for this.
[phone buzzes]
Hey.
What? What did you say?
We got a report that you were
in violation of the Fire Services Act.
What do you mean by
violation of the Fire Services Act?
What is this all about?
Exactly, sir.
We didn't violate anything of the sort.
We have fire extinguishers.
Look. There's one here in the kitchen,
one under there, and one by the entrance.
Our fire extinguishers are all there.
- Everything's fine.
- Yes. I told you.
- Did you check the emergency exit?
- I'll take a look.
Sir, we have to open for business.
[person] Is anyone in?
Yes, hello. Welcome.
[Beom-woo] How many people?
We're from the district office.
Someone reported
that you don't have a health certificate.
Wait here.
If you have eyes, take a look at this.
This is my health certificate.
- Yes.
- Oh, what?
[inspector] I found something.
SUNDEOK CHILI POWDER
50% CHINESE, 50% KOREAN
You posted that you use
Korean chili powder only.
You've got it wrong.
I just bought it out of curiosity.
- We didn't use it.
- Right.
We only tasted it.
Just a little pinch for a taste.
It was found open in the kitchen.
It was, but we never used it.
That's like saying you had a drink
but didn't drive under the influence.
[huffs]
I don't think that analogy is appropriate.
- [Myung-sook] Mmm.
- [chuckles] I know, right?
Right.
Submit this.
Before the deadline.
Let's go.
PRODUCT ORIGIN
LABELING VIOLATION
[Beom-woo] Hey, wait. Sir.
- I'll go to the district office.
- [Myung-sook] The district office?
Stay put and don't cause trouble.
[Myung-sook sighing]
- [door opens, closes]
- Myung-sook.
Yeah?
I'm sure there's something
we can do for the restaurant.
Man, it's spotless.
Come on, bro.
You know me. You know how clean I am.
- Here, take this. Come on!
- No, don't.
It's candy. Take them.
My restaurant has absolutely no issues.
- There wasn't a single issue. Don't worry.
- Okay.
- We're off.
- All right.
- Take care.
- See you.
All right, we're now open for business.
Go on in.
Two people.
A group of three.
[sighs]
Hey.
Who am I?
I'm the hyena of this neighborhood.
I never let go of prey once I catch it.
I just catch them all!
[laughs]
Goodness gracious.
I think you missed a prey.
Right. I think it was by the garage.
- It's by the garage.
- Right?
I wondered where they went.
- The garage?
- That's right.
- It was the garage.
- Garage, it is!
Stick that on properly.
[Choon-seung] No, no.
- What's that? [exclaiming]
- Is it done?
NOTICE OF VIOLATION
FOR ILLEGAL BUILDING EXTENSION
What's the matter, guys?
- Here, take these.
- What?
- What are you doing?
- They're yours.
Someone filed a complaint,
and we had no choice.
Report it before the deadline.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
Isn't there something you can do?
[inspector] You should've reported
the expansion
you made to the garage.
PARKING RESERVED FOR
SHIN CHOON-SEUNG
HE HAS A FIERY TEMPER
[Beom-woo laughing]
How can you do this to me, Myung-sook?
Fine.
That was a fantastic blow!
A fantastic blow indeed.
[engine revs]
[tires screech]
Neener.
- [engine revs]
- [tires squeal]
That little Is he actually crazy?
Run!
- [dramatic music playing]
- What? Why?
Why? What is it? What's wrong?
What's that?
You lunatic.
- [music stops]
- You parked right outside my restaurant?
Hey.
- [Beom-woo groaning]
- You see, someone reported my garage,
so I don't have a decent place to park.
- [pants] Move your car.
- Move it.
If you don't, I'll report you.
Report?
You should if you want to.
But this isn't a no-parking zone,
so they can't
tow my car.
Don't do anything you'll regret.
I have regrets ♪
The day we argued ♪
Give me the car key
if you want to stay alive.
The car key. Okay.
I'll give you the car key.
- [lock beeps]
- You damn punk. Get back here!
Whoo-hoo!
I'm exhausted.
Are you okay?
That little punk.
[Beom-woo] Damn it.
Goddamn it!
That scumbag.
- [person] All right. Keep coming.
- He's no match for me.
- [person] Come on. Keep reversing.
- [engine revs]
There's a curb here. Drive into it.
Keep coming.
- Good.
- Excuse me!
- [person] Stay back!
- What's going on?
Hey, you.
Why you
[groans]
Why are you joining in too?
When will you stop causing trouble?
Geez.
Hey, move the truck.
Don't get out. Get in and drive away.
You silly
It's really not what you think ♪
Do you still ♪
[both] Not know me? ♪
Be quiet!
A knock with this will really hurt.
Give me the key!
- [imitates lock beeping]
- Why you
Clean the inside for me.
[Beom-woo clears throat]
[both] Please don't leave ♪
[groans]
Me ♪
That was awesome.
- Do you karaoke often?
- Yeah, I guess.
The one who's got you ♪
How do I get inside? ♪
[sighs]
[grunting]
Seriously, this punk
I told you not to cause trouble.
What trouble?
What I did
was for the restaurant's honor
What?
For honor?
Are you worried about this yellow eyesore?
I'll have him move his car.
Do you think I'm not doing anything
because I don't have a temper?
I did what I did for our restaurant.
Running a restaurant
comes with all sorts of problems.
Because of what you did,
we can't take customers
and our ingredients will go bad.
What are you going to do now?
- Answer me!
- It's not like I was fooling around!
I was trying to protect this restaurant!
If you have a brain, use it to think.
Was it really about this restaurant
or that stupid pride of yours?
Mo Yeon-joo!
- [squeaking]
- [groans]
Help me!
I think I'm really stuck!
I can't move.
BAEKSU INN
[sighs, groans]
Geez, I'm so exhausted.
I'm so tired.
[groans] How did I get stuck
there of all places?
Geez.
[phone buzzing]
[phone buzzing]
Hello. I don't welcome calls
outside of work hours.
[Myung-sook] Have you heard?
Chef Mo will close for lunch tomorrow
to visit the jang house in the morning.
What are you talking about?
She has to save every penny
to pay off her debt.
She can't reach the meju maker.
It must be Choon-seung's doing.
We shouldn't have done what we did.
[sighing] That childish punk.
[sighs] Restaurants go out of business
when their jang changes.
- Chef Mo's food is all about the jang
- I don't know.
[call ends]
[groans]
I don't care. I just don't care.
EXPRESS BUS TERMINAL
[sighs]
Is this not the right platform?
I think it is.
What are you doing here?
I'm taking a walk.
I'm on my morning walk.
What a nice life you've got,
taking a leisurely walk in the morning
for your health.
Think about it. Do you really think
I'm out for a leisurely
Sure, sure.
Take good care of yourself
and live a long, disease-ridden life.
Should I just not go?
[sighs]
[gentle, upbeat music playing]
[Yeon-joo snores]
[head thuds]
[snores]
[head thuds]
My goodness.
- [snoring continues]
- She'll end up with a concussion.
Why do I care? That's none of my business.
[sighs]
[head thuds]
[snorts, mutters]
[clicks tongue, sighs]
[rattling]
[snoring]
Geez, what's in her nose?
Could you keep it down?
[whispering] It's not me. It's her.
[snorts]
[imitating snoring]
[sighs]
We're in the middle of nowhere.
We're going up even further?
We came uphill all this while.
[huffs] We came so far up on the bus.
Do we have to walk further up?
How much further?
Just keep walking.
[wind chimes clinking]
[Beom-woo gasps]
It's cooler than I thought.
[Yeon-joo] Forget how cool it is
and hurry up.
[sighs] She really doesn't know
how to appreciate beauty.
Look at all these
Oh, forget it.
Mr. Chang-su!
Sir.
Are you here? Mr. Chang-su.
[Beom-woo] Sir?
[knocks on door]
[Chang-su groans]
- [gasps]
- Hey.
Hey, Chef Mo.
What brought you all the way here?
Come on.
Our friendship is better than this.
I don't know what Choon-sang
or Choon-seung did,
but you can't mess with my jang.
Choon-seung?
What's that?
You know, Choon-seung!
He has eyes like this
- and looks all forlorn.
- Mmm. Mm-hmm.
It's a person?
I don't know him.
- [Yeon-joo] You don't?
- What?
Why couldn't I reach you then?
I hurt my back
while separating the ganjang
and doenjang a while ago.
It takes me half a day
just to get to the phone over there.
Oh dear. I guess you really are hurt.
That's why
I haven't been able to do anything.
I'm sorry.
Then I guess I'll have to do it myself.
[Beom-woo] What? You'll do what?
You'll do it yourself? Today?
[groans] Yeah, just leave it alone.
It'll go bad,
and I'll just throw it all out.
- [groans]
- Yeah. Just leave as is.
What are you looking at? No, don't do it.
- Look at the size of the pots.
- I'll do the work for you.
Just stay here and don't worry.
- What?
- [Chang-su] Okay.
Thanks a lot, Chef Mo.
Let's come back another time.
You can't do it alone!
I'm not alone.
Me? What about me?
Why are you looking at me?
I'm not doing it. I said I'm not doing it.
You think I'll do it
just because I always do what you ask?
I'm not doing it!
I can't believe
the things I'm getting myself into.
[slow, breezy music playing]
[groans]
Get the bowl.
Bring it closer.
What soy beans you use
and how long you boil or steam them for
changes the flavor drastically.
[music continues]
If the meju retains too much moisture,
it's easy for bad bacteria to grow in it,
so you have to check
how well the blocks dried.
Come and scoop this with a ladle.
[Beom-woo] One.
Two.
Three.
This feels weird.
[groans]
Put some more strength into your fingers.
I am.
[Yeon-joo] Spread it everywhere evenly.
Okay, that's enough.
[grunts]
[music ends]
My goodness, these are pretty.
This is a jangseok, salt crystal.
It shows the time and effort
that went into this sauce.
[gasps]
It's so pretty.
How pretty.
[wistful piano music playing]
Look at the earthenware pots.
They're so pretty.
It's beautiful here.
I meant the jangseok, not the pots.
"You doofus." Is that what you'll say?
You idiot.
[chuckling] Oh, geez.
Isn't "idiot" a bit harsh?
[scoffs]
[Beom-woo chuckles]
It feels like we're in the Joseon era.
Why do I feel like a slave?
He gave us so much
of something so precious.
He did.
You know meju is good for you, right?
Is it?
The fermenting process
creates lactic acid bacteria and enzymes
Aren't you tired?
Why would I be tired?
I got jangseok and meju.
Right. You got jangseok and meju.
Of course you have no reason to be tired.
[raindrops pitter-pattering]
- [rain intensifies]
- Oh no.
It's raining.
Run.
[slow, blissful music playing]
[Beom-woo panting]
[groans, exclaims]
[sighs, groaning]
[music fades]
This is so heavy.
It might [coughing]
It might just be a passing shower.
Sorry.
"Sorry"?
You know that word?
Did you follow me all the way here
because you were sorry?
I'm talking about you.
Well, you could say that.
You said it was my fault
that our meju deliveries were cut off.
Good.
As long as you know what you did wrong.
[chuckles]
I usually don't feel bad or sorry
for someone else.
I'm not that type of person.
No.
I don't do anything
I'd feel sorry about in the first place.
That exact attitude is why your girlfriend
left you for your brother.
Good. I'm glad you mentioned that.
It wasn't my girlfriend
who left me for my brother.
Then who is it?
Just someone.
Hang on.
I've never been dumped
or rejected by anyone.
All the girls I dated
clung to me saying they loved me
and cried their eyes out.
I was really popular
[slow, blissful music playing]
I was just worried.
You were getting rained on.
[phone buzzing]
- [music fades]
- [Beom-woo sighs]
Hello?
What? A fire?
[police officer] You can't come in here.
- You can't get through.
- You can't go in.
- It's our restaurant.
- I'm the owner.
- It's our restaurant.
- You can't go in.
It's our restaurant!
[police officer 2] Yes, okay.
[Beom-woo panting]
Are you all right? Did anyone get hurt?
Given that the glass on the front door
was shattered,
the police say they think it was arson.
[Beom-woo] What? Arson?
[Myung-sook] But because our restaurant
is in a secluded corner,
there are no CCTVs around,
so it's going to take some time
to find out who's responsible.
It's okay.
At least no one was hurt.
That's not true.
Chef Mo's heart is broken.
[Myung-sook sobs]
I shouldn't have made a fuss
about working here.
- What are you talking about?
- Well
Choon-seung?
[Beom-woo]
The gukbap kid started the fire?
Damn it.
[Beom-woo sighs] Mo Yeon-joo, calm down.
You're too worked up.
It might not be him!
I mean, I think it was him, but wait.
Hang on.
Move.
Wait.
What do you think you can do on your own?
Setting fire to a business?
That's a serious crime.
Don't try to deal with this yourself.
Let's trust the police this time.
I said move!
- [scoffs]
- You're not going to?
[grunts]
Mo Yeon-joo! Darn it.
[patrons chattering]
- How many people
- Hey, hey.
What are you
Do you know what you've done? Huh?
[patrons murmuring]
What the hell are you talking about?
You're ganging up on me now?
This is assault.
You saw that, right? Aggravated assault.
It's a crime.
What? A crime?
I've had enough of you.
Then why the hell
did you commit such a crime?
What kind of nonsense is this?
What crime are you saying I committed?
Do you have proof?
Bring me proof
before you start accusing me!
I don't know about proof,
but there's a witness.
Are you saying you like pineapple
more than gukbap?
Oh, come on.
It's "fine dining," not "pineapple."
You're hilarious.
[giggles]
[Choon-seung] You dare look down on me?
Oh my.
[melancholy music plays]
[mumbling]
Why is that leech
coming from that direction at this hour?
- [Myung-sook] I saw it all.
- [scoffs]
You were stumbling drunk,
walking back from our restaurant!
Me?
Listen, Myung-sook.
False accusation is also a crime.
Do you really want to end up in prison?
- Prison?
- For goodness' sake.
- You're hurting my ears!
- [clears throat]
False accusation?
- Speak up if you're innocent.
- [scoffs]
What were you doing walking around
- all drunk near our restaurant?
- [grunts]
Hey.
- Am I not even allowed to drink?
- [gasps]
You'd been stressing me out so bad
that I stayed out drinking all night
until this morning, okay?
Oh, so you were drunk and angry
and set fire to our restaurant?
[patrons muttering]
He set fire to our restaurant.
What the hell are you yapping about?
Why would I set a fire?
[breathes heavily]
[tense music plays]
A fire?
Bastard.
Bastard.
Here comes the bastard.
My own father calls me a bastard.
That's why complete strangers
look down on me now.
LIGHTER FLUID
Did I really set a fire?
[Beom-woo]
Let's go talk at the police station.
No, wait. Hang on.
- Wait.
- Wait for what?
No, wait.
I was there and I broke the window,
but I really don't remember
starting a fire.
That's like saying you had a drink
but didn't drive under the influence.
[yells]
I'm sorry!
- [patron 1] Oh, my.
- It must be true.
I'm sorry. I apologize!
I'll compensate you for everything.
I'll keep my mouth shut
and live quietly for the rest of my life.
So please
No. There's no need to drag this out.
- You can do your talking at the station.
- No, please! What would you gain
- from sending me to prison?
- My pants! Don't look!
You can't open your restaurant
until it's fixed,
but you can't just sit and wait either.
Wouldn't it be better
that you take my money
so that you can fix up your place
and be back in business?
You have to pay rent and buy ingredients.
You have to pay your employee too.
[Choon-seung sobs] Myung-sook.
Come on, bro.
How much can you give us?
I'll give you all the cash I have.
A million won?
- [patrons chuckling, muttering]
- [scoffs]
[phone beeps]
- Are you kidding me?
- I swear that's all I have.
The car, my watch, my chain,
everything belongs to my father.
- Please.
- That's enough!
I'll give you three days.
Get the kitchen up and running
in three days.
Three days?
It's your last chance.
- Hey!
- Deal!
It's a deal.
[grunts] You know,
I can do that with my eyes closed.
My hands touched every corner
of this gukbap restaurant.
We got things sorted out.
All right. I'll see you tomorrow.
I'll go to your restaurant.
[sighs]
Don't call the police. We have a deal.
[door closes]
Really?
You want to give someone like him
another chance?
People don't change.
We should at least
give him a chance to change.
[Yeon-joo] Who knows?
[calm music playing, on speakers]
This is truffle neobiani,
grilled neobiani served with truffle paste
to accentuate the flavor,
with osmanthus tea-based jelly
made with lemon juice
and flowers to add acidity.
This was meant to launch at Motto,
but I personally brought it to La Lecel
and developed it further.
It's as fancy and colorful as yourself,
Chef Jang.
Yes. I believe a trendy look
is just as important.
[Yeo-ul] Okay, very nice.
Hmm.
Can you excuse us?
[Yeo-ul sighs]
[spits]
You're going to serve this kind of trash
as your signature dish?
Chef Jang's food was at least decent
back when she worked at Motto.
Now it only tastes of money.
I apologize.
[Yeo-ul] Take it away.
[sighs]
[playful music plays]
[swishes]
I heard Beom-woo's in Jeonju.
Officially, he's on a business trip,
but he's more or less in exile.
[chuckles]
You stabbed your brother in the back.
Why do you think I let it happen?
I know you gave me a chance.
I'll show results as soon as possible
Beom-woo
doesn't seem like the type
to stab you in the back.
He's more the type to look you in the eyes
and behead you.
[footsteps approaching]
[fan] Are you Han Yeo-ul,
the culinary expert?
Oh, yes.
Oh, my!
- Right?
- I knew it was you.
I'm such a huge fan.
[fan] I knew it.
Could we take a photo with you?
Of course.
Why stop at one? Let's take multiple.
- Come over here.
- Thank you.
Let's see. This would be a nice backdrop.
- Come this way.
- [fan laughs]
[Yeo-ul chuckles] Are you here
for a special occasion?
[fan] It's lovely to see you all here.
Do you come here often?
[phone dialing]
[line ringing]
It's me.
Find out in detail
what Han Beom-woo is doing there.
- How about "I love you"?
- [Yeo-ul] Okay.
- Let's all say "I love you."
- Yes, we'd love that.
INTERNAL REPAIRS IN PROGRESS
[Beom-woo straining]
[blows]
I told you not to trust him.
You can tell by his looks!
[Choon-seung] All right.
My gosh. The craftsman's here.
The kitchen repair craftsman
[grunting]
I'm a bit late.
- I slept in a little.
- [phone beeping]
- You didn't call the police, did you?
- Do you see this?
I was just about to call.
Don't! You have a bad habit.
You all heard
what I said yesterday, right?
I'll repair everything
in the three days I promised.
Yeah, you have to fix that window
and put up new wallpaper
in the storage room.
Wallpaper too?
That's not what we agreed on.
Geez, so can you do it or not?
I can do it.
But you see, there's a well-known saying.
[stammers]
"A piece of paper is lighter
when held together."
It's a great saying.
So what you're saying is,
- you want us to help out
- [chuckling]
and work with you to make
your job easier?
- That's it.
- Right.
Are you kidding me? [sighs]
What's the emergency police number again?
- Hello, Mr. Policeman?
- Hello?
- Mr. Policeman. We're
- I'm sorry!
[upbeat music plays]
[clears throat]
[Choon-seung] There we go.
[grunts]
Looking good.
That's done.
One tile.
Huh?
One, two, three.
Do we have any more of this dry fix?
[shrieks]
[sighing]
That kid's a total troublemaker.
I wonder if he can do anything.
[blows]
What is this?
CI What?
[gasps]
My gosh. It's all English.
What's this?
This is cool.
[tiles crashing]
Oh gosh! Geez.
[Choon-seung] Darn it!
I can't do this anymore!
What is it now?
- Damn it.
- [Myung-sook] Goodness.
What is it now?
What happened?
Look at him.
What are you doing there?
I can't do it.
You know I grew up coddled and spoiled.
My goodness.
What are you doing?
Do you know why
your father doesn't want to
give you the restaurant?
All you know how to do is drink and party.
But you want to be treated like a boss,
so you go around picking on others
and getting into trouble.
How could he leave anything
to a bum like you?
Even I wouldn't if I were him.
Are you done talking?
Yeah, I'm done.
- You
- Oh, my.
Are you going to hit me?
- Go ahead. Hit me.
- [breathing heavily]
What the heck?
[Choon-seung sobbing]
Are you crying?
What did you do now?
- What's wrong with him?
- He burst into tears.
Why is he crying and not working?
Has he lost his mind?
[blows] You're right.
I'm a good-for-nothing.
I know that.
Do you think
I wanted to be like this from the start?
Just so you know, Myung-sook,
I also had dreams
when I was young.
[sad music plays]
There were so many things I wanted to do.
But my father said
I should stop doing pointless stuff.
He's been going back and forth
with giving me the restaurant all my life.
I'm sick of it too!
I wasn't born just to inherit
the gukbap restaurant.
I'm just as frustrated
about myself and my life!
You don't know anything.
[Choon-seung sobbing]
For goodness' sake.
- What are you doing?
- [grunts]
The mix is too watery.
[sniffles]
[Beom-woo] I guess you picked up
a thing or two.
[Choon-seung sobbing continues]
But only enough to do a sloppy job.
Get over here!
Are you going to sit and cry all day?
I'm coming.
- Watch carefully.
- [Choon-seung] Okay.
Spread it out nice and thin like this.
- Tap gently.
- [Choon-seung] Tap gently.
- See? It stuck.
- Yeah.
- Now you try.
- Okay.
[Beom-woo] I double majored
in architecture.
[Choon-seung] What's that?
What are you doing?
We need to eat to work.
I thought they could use a snack.
Crying makes you hungry.
[chuckles]
Let me see.
[Myung-sook] Hmm.
[Korean pop music plays]
[tapping on tiles]
[Beom-woo] It's all in the wrist.
Tap gently.
Tap gently.
[chuckles]
[Myung-sook] Take a break
and have a snack!
- The gukbap kid can come too.
- A snack?
- [Beom-woo] Tap gently.
- [Choon-seung] We're almost done.
[tile shatters]
[sighs]
[Choon-seung gasps]
It looks so good.
[Choon-seung breathes heavily]
[Myung-sook, Choon-seung] Bon appétit.
Eat up.
Okay.
Mmm.
[Choon-seung slurping]
- Mmm.
- [Beom-woo] What is this?
Wait. Bro, you've never had
Jeonju-style jjajang?
Jeonju-style jjajang?
Wait, since when did I become your "bro"?
Since we got close enough
to eat together, I guess?
Jeonju-style jjajang.
This is the way we've eaten jjajangmyeon
around here since the old days.
Okay, I get that.
But we live in the present,
so do we have to eat this
- Don't eat if you don't want to.
- No, wait.
You had to make this the old way
and it looks really appetizing
is what I meant.
So good you could die, huh?
I really didn't expect this.
Our chef's skill
sure does leave you speechless,
doesn't it?
[Myung-sook chuckling]
[friend] Are you all in there?
Where is everyone?
Oh, hello there.
[chuckles]
- Hello.
- Hi.
This place is a complete mess.
[tuts]
Did you come by to tease us?
Don't be so sensitive. I was just worried.
I heard our soccer team newbie
was having a hard time.
I'm really touched.
- It's nothing, really.
- [chuckles]
[exclaims]
I told you to stay away from Choon-shik.
Choon
Oh, sir. [chuckles]
It's Choon-seung, not Choon-shik.
And I don't think
he's a hopeless good-for-nothing jerk
or a bad kid.
He may look like a simpleton,
but I got to know him
and I don't think he's bad.
[fabric ripping]
What?
Look.
It's his face. That's what offends me.
Anyway [clears throat]
from what I see,
it'll cost at least five million won
to repair everything.
[Yeon-joo gasps]
- Five million
- Five million?
Where would we get five million?
Call when you have the money.
I'll get in touch with my network
and get you an expert.
Okay. Thank you.
[friend chuckles]
Did he come here to tell us that?
Sir, stop right there.
What's that thing that says
five million won in your back pocket?
PRIZE MONEY: 5 MILLION WON
[comedic music plays]
My pocket?
What is this?
What on earth is this?
What's this?
- Who put trash in my pocket?
- Let me see that.
[Beom-woo] "Five million won."
A food truck contest over two days?
Let's say the rate of cost to sales
will be about 40%.
Three million plus
the five million first-place prize money
We could redo the entire interior
and get new tables.
- Anything will help.
- Right.
- You have to register by 6:00 p.m. today.
- What time is it right now?
- It's 5:45 p.m.
- [exclaims]
No matter how fast you go,
you can never get there in 15 minutes.
[Choon-seung] You can.
[western music plays]
You can get there.
Can you really do it?
Can we trust you?
I'm Shin Choon-seung,
the neighborhood's human navigator.
Let me borrow your motorcycle.
[grunts]
Can we really trust him?
You can't trust him, right?
Then trust me.
Can we trust him though?
[dramatic music plays]
[grunts]
You've ridden with someone
on the back before, right?
Trust me. Here we go.
Can you ride
- [Choon-seung] Hold on tight!
- Hey, it's too fast.
There must've been an accident.
We can't get through. There's no way.
We can't go!
[Beom-woo] Watch out, there's a car ahead!
There's a car!
- Sorry!
- [breathes heavily]
[engine revs]
[Beom-woo] You're going too fast.
You're going way too fast.
[Choon-seung grunts]
- [Beom-woo] Hey!
- [Choon-seung] My bad.
- What's that?
- It's a forklift.
- Duck!
- Forklift!
[forklift beeps]
STREAMSIDE NAMBU MARKE
[construction vehicle beeping]
- [gasps]
- The road's under construction.
Why are there so many cars?
- [motorcycle brakes screech]
- [Beom-woo grunting]
Is this an actual road?
Are you going the right way?
I am the way.
[Beom-woo shouts] Hey,
you're going way too fast.
REGISTRATION FOR
ONGOEUL YOUTH FOOD FESTIVAL
[Beom-woo exclaims, grunts]
- Hey, hey.
- [motorcycle brakes screeching]
We almost crashed for real just now.
This is it. We made it.
There's a person ahead.
Go to the side.
[Choon-seung] We're here!
Come on. Let's go.
My leg!
- What is it?
- My leg.
- What about your leg? We have to go.
- Damn it!
- Which way is it?
- It's over there.
No, wait! Wait! Stop.
- [official] The registration is over.
- No, wait.
- Stop her!
- [Choon-seung] Fill that in!
APPLICANT: JUNGJAE
I've watched you for a long time.
Jeong-eun? Yeong-eun?
- No.
- Dong-eun?
Hey, it's VTS!
You mean, BTS?
- Oh, my.
- Where?
- Where are they?
- Over there.
You startled us.
That says TVS,
the Korean broadcasting network.
You really got me.
What would BTS be doing here?
You're so silly.
I have poor eyesight.
If BTS were here,
I'd ask for an autograph!
It's the Korean broadcasting network.
- Sorry.
- Have a good day.
See? It's TVS.
- [Choon-seung] Silly me.
- You fool.
Did I do good?
I guess they missed it.
[phone buzzes]
Hey, how did it go?
- What?
- They did it?
Oh, my gosh!
Even a useless turd comes in handy, huh?
Tell him to go home.
Chef Mo says you can go straight home.
Okay. Good job.
- [chuckles]
- What now?
- Everything's sorted now.
- We got in.
"You can. You can get there."
"You can get there."
[chuckles]
I bet that shocked them.
[sniffs]
[flames roaring]
I'm going to do it!
Oh, that's hot.
A doctor. I need to see a doctor.
It's so hot.
[glass clinks]
[tense music playing]
[flames roaring]
Hmm?
[sighs] Yeah. I should quit smoking.
BAEKSU INN
[singsongy] A day feels so long
- and yet so short.
- I didn't know you were this countrified.
What the
Chef Jang.
Are you crazy? How did you find me?
Why are you so surprised?
Oh, I see.
You're messing
with another restaurant here, aren't you?
[chuckles]
"Messing with"?
Let's watch our words.
Hmm.
What's with the formality
when we know each other's secrets?
I see.
Are you here to play both sides again
between me and Han Sun-woo?
This is why I like you, Director Han.
You like me?
Did you hurt your head on the way here?
- [Yeon-joo] What are you doing there?
- [gasps]
You clocked off already?
[stutters] It's so early though.
Why are you stuttering
like I caught you stealing?
- Who is she?
- [Beom-woo stammers]
[whispers] Why do you care? Keep quiet.
Oh, is she the one
- you're trying to prey on this time?
- [hushes]
Who is she?
My ex-girlfriend.
[comedic music playing]
[both] "Ex-girlfriend"?
Yeah.
Shall we continue
what we were talking about?
I hate that you're obsessing over me
and following me around.
How did you find me here?
Keep this up, and my feelings for you
will be gone completely!
What the hell are you saying?
Is this the person who left you
for your older brother?
That's not what happened.
What? His brother?
You need me to remind you
why I don't like you?
You act like you're something
when you have zero talent.
I can't stand that at all.
Actually, no. It's just the fact
that you eat and breathe.
That alone makes me sick!
Get lost!
[comedic music playing stops]
[crickets chirping]
[chuckles] Excuse me.
Do you even know
who this guy is and what he does?
[Yeon-joo] I'll figure that out
for myself.
The ex-girlfriend can stay out of it.
[romantic music plays]
TASTEFULLY YOURS
[Beom-woo] Good vibes.
All sorts of nobodies
call themselves chefs these days.
[Yeon-joo]
We'll let our cooking do the talking.
[Young-hye] You dare hurt my pride?
[Myung-sook]
People are starting to flock in.
Everywhere but our truck.
[Beom-woo] Shouldn't we put more thought
into our menu selection if we want to win?
[announcer] The first place winner is
[Young-hye] Do you like her or something?
[Beom-woo] Me? Like her?
I was waiting for you.
