- [dog barks]
[all exclaim]
TASTEFULLY YOURS
- Yes!
- I can't believe it went over.
Wait right here.
- Hey!
- [grunts]
- [child] I lost all my ddakji.
- What are you doing here?
- [child] She won them all.
- I was waiting for you.
For me? Why?
Hey! Let's play again!
- Come on, guys.
- [Beom-woo] You little punks.
- Run.
- W-What for?
- [child 1] Wait! Let's play another round!
- [child 2] Where are you going?
[romantic music playing]
- [panting]
- [Beom-woo] We came far enough.
[panting] We're good.
They stopped chasing us. [chuckles]
- [huffs]
- [stammers]
You grabbed my hand first.
That was then. This is now.
[sighs] I really don't get you.
No, there's no way.
Are you sulking?
It's not like you to sulk.
Come on. Don't be like that.
Why are you in such a good mood?
- We didn't even win first place.
- I won them all.
[softly] What did you win?
[giggles]
From now on,
I'm the ddakji queen of this area.
[giggles]
I don't believe this. This is so annoying!
[scoffs]
Are you jealous?
[sighing] Fine, all right.
Pick one and I'll give it to you.
Which one do you want?
Forget it.
Why are you so irritated?
Why wouldn't I be?
Just accept it.
We lost.
- Do you think that's what this is about?
- Then what is it about?
Forget it.
- Tell me. What is it about?
- I said forget it!
Tell me!
Apparently, it looks like I have a crush.
Apparently, that's what it looks like!
Have a crush on what?
[sighs]
On you.
I like you.
[romantic music playing]
Then
you can have all of them.
[gasps]
[Choon-seung] What the heck?
You two
- [gasps]
- [fireworks exploding]
[grunts]
Ooh! [groans]
[exclaims]
[grunts]
What?
- Blood. I'm bleeding!
- Oh, dear!
[grunting, groaning]
- [sighs]
- [groaning continues]
I think I broke a bone. Damn it.
- Is my nose crooked?
- [sighs]
TASTEFULLY YOURS
[water running]
[water dripping]
- [gasps]
- [water dripping]
- [Yeon-joo gasps]
- [door opens]
[gasps]
Ms. Mo?
Are you not up yet?
[whispers] Sleep well.
INTERNAL REPAIRS IN PROGRESS
- [grunting] It's so heavy.
- Oh, come on.
No, wait. Hang on.
- Keep moving.
- Don't put it down. Just go.
- Watch the door.
- I gripped it wrong.
Whoa
[sighs]
It looks much better.
This is it.
This is what a fine-dining kitchen
should look like.
I have incredible taste
in interior design, don't I?
- I practically did this for you for free.
- Hey, Chef?
- So
- Oh, gosh. Are you done already?
- [builder] Yeah.
- [gasps] Oh, my.
[chuckles] Is she a ninja or what?
She moves so swiftly.
- Good work, guys.
- [chuckles] Thanks.
That room will take a while to fix.
Will it?
The floor's really old,
so it'll take some time
until it completely dries out.
- It can't be helped.
- Call me if there are any problems.
- I will.
- Okay.
Take care, everyone.
- [worker] See you.
- Take care.
[Myung-sook] Bye.
- See you.
- Bye.
[door opens]
[Yeon-joo] Goodbye.
Ooh!
Why are you grinning
like you have a screw loose?
Get everything sorted!
We've got to open soon.
- [Choon-seung chuckles] She's embarrassed.
- Hey, Chef.
- [sighs]
- So, about yesterday
[crockery clinks]
What about yesterday?
I mean, I couldn't ask you something
because you looked so busy.
Mmm.
Look here.
You see how there are
four bar stools here?
Should we space them evenly
for complete strangers,
or should we put two closer together
just like a sweet couple
that's sitting next to each other?
Couples, my foot.
Why would we put the chairs
closer together?
Separate them all!
- [Myung-sook] Separate them?
- [chuckles, sighs]
Wouldn't it be better
to place them as if they were a couple?
- [chuckles]
- [Choon-seung chuckles]
- What did you say?
- You two. [chuckling]
- Your eyes just met, didn't they?
- [Myung-sook] Oh, my.
Things are going way too fast.
They used to be at each other's throats
and fought like crazy. [chuckling]
They made such a fuss.
- But suddenly
- Suddenly
- They kissed!
- They kissed!
[Myung-sook, Choon-seung grunting]
[chuckles]
Come on. Will you stop it?
- Damn you.
- [grunts]
[Yeon-joo] Stop with all the nonsense.
Listen up, everyone. I won't repeat this.
What happened yesterday
was a mistake.
Was it or not?
Yeah, it was.
Exactly.
So don't get weird ideas
or jump to conclusions.
That's forbidden.
No assumptions!
- [door opens]
- [customer 1, in French] Excuse me?
[grunts]
[stammers]
Is this Jungjae?
- [customer 2] Yeah, I think so.
- [in English] What?
[gasps]
[in French] Hello.
Welcome.
- [stammers]
- You speak French.
Yes, I can. [chuckles]
[gasps]
Hello.
Hello.
[in Korean] He speaks French too.
[Choon-seung] He speaks French. [chuckles]
[in French]
How did you find our restaurant?
We had your gimbap
at the food truck festival,
and it was delicious.
I took your business card then.
Oh, I see.
Thank you.
[in Korean] Sometimes,
he seems so learned.
My thoughts exactly. He surprises me.
- [Beom-woo chuckles]
- [Choon-seung] What are they saying?
I don't get a word.
[in French] Thank you so much.
- [customer 2] We'll be counting on you.
- Sure.
[customer 2] Let's go.
- Yes, yes.
- [Myung-sook] Yes, yes.
- [customer 1, in English] Bye.
- Bye-bye.
Say goodbye.
- [door closes]
- [in Korean] Well? What did she say?
What? Just now?
- Yeah.
- [Beom-woo chuckles] Oh, gosh.
[sighs] Okay, so
They tried our food
at the food truck festival
and said it was delicious.
- So it was just to their taste. [chuckles]
- [chuckling]
[Myung-sook] But why did they leave
without ordering?
No, they didn't come to eat.
They wanted to make a reservation
for the day after tomorrow.
We need to turn them down.
[sighs] At least let me explain
the situation
- even if we end up turning them down.
- Exactly.
They're getting married,
and they want their parents to meet here.
- [Beom-woo] What?
- [Myung-sook] How did you know that?
She's just as surprising.
The woman's parents are flying in,
but her mom can't eat Korean food,
and neither families
welcome the international union.
Isn't that about it?
- No way.
- Oh, my gosh.
You know how to speak French?
The kitchen's not ready yet,
and it's too much pressure.
Hear me out.
If we take that reservation,
we can earn in one day
what we do in a week.
Why should we turn it down?
I get it. It's not just about money.
They think
both parents will like our food.
All else aside, consider it
from a customer management perspective.
Yeah, that's right.
Why turn down a great opportunity?
We could use this as an opportunity
to brand ourselves as
- Jungjae, the bridge of love.
- [chuckling]
Yeah. We could host events
as a love bridge
and give couples a chance to kiss
- [grunts]
- [Myung-sook grunts]
That topic's forbidden.
[Myung-sook sighs]
[inhales sharply]
Just this once.
[sighs] Do they think it's easy
- to host that kind of event?
- [Beom-woo inhales deeply]
[in English] Yes, yes.
[in Korean] We get to serve foreigners.
[Choon-seung, in English] Yes, yes.
[in Korean] What's wrong with her?
- [Choon-seung] How can it be a mistake?
- [laughing]
Of course it was a mistake.
It was a complete mistake.
[chuckles] I mean, come on.
Don't we all make such mistakes
at least once in our lives?
- [Myung-sook] We do.
- Right?
- Am I wrong?
- We do, so often.
- Being born was a mistake in itself.
- Geez.
[Myung-sook] Everything's a mistake.
[exhales]
Let me be brutally honest.
We're both adults.
So what if a grown man
and woman's lips touched?
Is that such a big deal?
- [Myung-sook] I guess not.
- Am I wrong?
[Beom-woo] Seriously.
You know, when I
What's that place called? Paris.
When I lived in the 18th arrondissement
I did it every day.
I kissed someone every single day.
- Oh, wow. You kissed every single day?
- [Beom-woo] Seriously.
Good for you.
That's why you're so fluent in French.
[Myung-sook] Yeah.
You did such fun stuff every day.
- I'm so jealous. [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
The 18th arrondissement, huh?
- [Choon-seung] You know
- [Myung-sook] What?
I just don't think it was a mistake.
I agree.
I don't think it was a mistake either.
[Beom-woo chuckles] Goodness.
Okay then.
Tell me what you think, Choon-seung.
What do you think it was
if it wasn't a mistake?
I think
it was more like
a wrongdoing.
Seeing this guy makes me think
it was a huge crime.
This guy made me realize that. [grunts]
[Myung-sook] Huh?
Swordtip squid tastes better
when you whack it like this.
[Choon-seung] But what did you whack
me for?
[Myung-sook] You're so clueless.
[in French] Only my fiancé's father
will be attending from his family,
and he only wants Korean food.
[sighing] But my mom can't eat
Korean food,
and she avoids eating
spicy and salty food.
So we're having quite a hard time
finding a restaurant to meet at.
Korean cuisine
that's not spicy or salty.
Not spicy or salty
[sultry music playing]
Ah!
- [Beom-woo kisses]
- [screams]
[sighs]
[sighs, grunts]
- [neck cracks]
- [sighs]
[Beom-woo laughs]
[slurring] A mistake.
A mistake
It makes no sense.
Han Beom-woo?
[grunts] Mo Yeon-joo?
[scoffs] My gosh.
You look just like her.
[sighing]
Did you drink again?
Mo Yeon-joo.
[inhales deeply]
You know, I was really popular in Seoul.
[chuckles]
You got a chance
to kiss someone perfect like me.
[inhales deeply]
How can you call that a mistake?
Take it back.
That's nonsense. It makes zero sense.
It doesn't make sense. [sighs]
It doesn't make sense! [whining]
What do you want me to do then?
You might find me overwhelming.
I get that.
I'm quite good-looking.
I'm fit.
I did well in school. I went to Harton.
That says it all.
What about your personality? Hmm?
Your personality
is the worst of the worst.
What about yours then?
Your personality is just as bad.
Yeah, so let's call it a mistake!
What good can come from two
horrible personalities getting involved?
I want to get involved!
I want to get madly involved with you!
[whimsical music playing]
Even if you want to get madly involved,
some things just can't happen.
Why? Why not?
A kitchen is where you cook, not date.
Then we can keep that out of the kitchen.
What do you think this is, a rom-com?
When we're in the kitchen,
I won't say a word to you.
I'll pretend I don't exist.
I'll be invisible.
Say I enter the kitchen, okay?
I'm gone. I'm invisible.
But once I leave?
I exist.
[chuckles]
Let me take you out on a date.
Go on a date with me first,
and then decide
whether you want to date me or not.
Although, I'm sure you'll want to.
I'm leaving.
[in English] Okay.
[in Korean]
It's the day after tomorrow, right?
After serving the customers
the day after tomorrow,
let's go on a date that evening.
Are you even listening to what I'm saying?
Yeah, I'm listening.
- Hey.
- What?
We're going on a date that evening.
I'll show you
what a real date is.
I'll make sure of it.
[whooping]
[cheers]
[sighs]
[yawns]
Good morning.
[in English] Hey, yo.
[in Korean] Why are you dressed like that?
[sighs]
Well
Why do you think I'm dressed like this?
[gasps]
"Jungjae."
I should dress the part
for a fine-dining restaurant.
- Also, there are a few more.
- Yeah!
- [cheering]
- [Myung-sook] What? We get one too!
- [Beom-woo] Here.
- Thanks so much.
- What do you think? Aren't they pretty?
- [Myung-sook] They're pretty. My goodness.
What about me? Where's mine?
You're still here?
Oh, my. Our repairs were done ages ago.
What's the gukbap boy still doing here?
What's gukbap?
I have no idea what that is. [sighs]
That really hurt my feelings.
The food truck battlefield.
Our comradeship.
Did you forget that just like that?
I stacked all those cups and
Oh, you're that guy.
So when will you leave?
What do you mean?
Once you're a part of Jungjae,
you're forever a part of Jungjae.
Jungjae, our Jungjae!
[chuckles] Do whatever you want.
[Choon-seung] Are you really going to leave
me out? I know you have one for me too.
[uplifting music playing]
[announcer, in English] Ladies
and gentlemen, welcome aboard Han Air
Flight HA511 to Incheon Airport.
We've reached our cruising altitude.
[in Korean] Shall I prepare
your meal, sir?
Yes.
Business class passengers only
can choose between two options
from Diamant three-star
French restaurant Le Murir Sapporo.
We have the Japanese bento box
and Western frenched rack.
[passenger inhales deeply]
Could I have both the bento box
and the frenched rack?
Oh, sure. I'll prepare them both.
[passenger] Thank you.
Excuse me.
Yes, sir.
Will you try it?
It's okay, sir. We have our own
It's salty and tough, isn't it?
Pardon?
[inhales deeply]
In-flight meals are served
at a high altitude
and low barometric pressure,
so we adjusted the salt content.
You shouldn't cook it this way.
Sir, this is an in-flight meal,
so the quality of food
You said it was from
a Diamant three-star restaurant.
Yes, but
You must follow the manual
down to the last second for this menu.
The amount of sauce, the cooking time,
it's all wrong.
What's the matter?
[passenger] This is my dish.
JEON MIN
LE MURIR
We'll be discontinuing
our in-flight meal collaboration.
Please stop serving this menu from now on.
It will only damage
my restaurant's reputation.
Please wake me up when we land.
[sighs]
STREAMSIDE NAMBU MARKE
- Here you go. Good day. [chuckles]
- [customer] Thanks. Take care.
[Beom-woo] We should watch a movie
on a day like this.
Do you like a particular genre?
Hey. What are you two doing here together?
[chuckling] Have you decided
to make it official?
Let's go elsewhere.
I'm going to buy from another butcher.
I was just kidding. Come on.
Can we have some beef brisket for broth
and boneless ribs?
Do you want everything I have here?
[chuckles]
Come on, sir.
Just give us what we need.
The right amount, okay?
We're serving it to important customers,
so give us the fresh
and good-quality meat.
You're not at all like
what you used to be.
He was incredibly rude.
He wasn't just rude. He was immature too.
He acted like money
would solve all your problems.
He was so obnoxious.
[chuckling]
With his hair like this
- [chuckles]
- [laughing]
"I'll take everything."
Give us the meat already.
[butcher] Goodness, here.
There you go.
Thanks for gossiping in my presence.
The rude, immature, and obnoxious guy
will be leaving now.
But now,
you've become more human.
[scoffs]
It's all because he stopped
being a money-grubber.
- Have a good day.
- [butcher] Thanks. Bye.
You smell more human, I'm telling you.
Let's see. One, two, three, four
Is it true?
What is?
You know
Do I smell?
I'm not sure.
Will you shower more often?
No, I mean
what the butcher shop owner said.
Do I
Do I smell more human?
That's what you meant?
You always went on and on about money.
Now you seem more sincere,
though sometimes, I don't think you are.
Is that a yes or a no?
Whatever it is, I like it.
It's nice to see.
You just said you liked
Oh, right!
We have to settle a bill
with the vegetable shop owner.
Can you go pay him while you're here?
- Thanks!
- Hey
What do you like?
What do you like?
Gosh, he's so persistent.
He just doesn't let go.
[chuckles]
[Jeon Min] Yeon-joo.
[nostalgic music playing]
How
have you been?
[breathes shakily, sniffs]
- Why are you back alone?
- [in English] Hey, yo.
[sighs]
- Mo Yeon-joo.
- [in Korean] Get out.
[inhales deeply]
Let's talk. I have something
to talk to you about.
Talk about what?
What is there for us to talk about?
How have I been?
Great.
I've been great.
Are we done? Now leave.
[door closes]
[sobbing]
[sobbing continues]
[sighs]
[Beom-woo] Who the heck parked their car
in the middle of the alley?
[lighter clicking]
Hey, no. No. Wait.
[chuckles]
This is a non-smoking area. [chuckles]
The restaurant owner
[whispers] is really particular about it.
You almost would've
had your head cut off just now.
The restaurant owner
does what she says, you see.
You can smoke around the corner that way.
[door closes]
[sighs]
I'm back. [chuckles]
Thought I'd be late, didn't you?
- When it comes to work
- Get over here.
- I'm always on time.
- Come here quick.
- You tell him.
- Goodness gracious.
Someone was just here.
Someone was here? Who?
No one was here!
- Have you lost your mind?
- Have you?
Don't you have work to do?
My point exactly!
We've got work to do.
Pull yourself together.
[dishes clattering]
What?
What is it?
What
- Hello. Are you open?
- Oh, hello.
[Choon-seung] Welcome!
- Yes. A table for how many?
- Two, please.
[Beom-woo] Two? Come this way.
[grunting]
[exclaims]
[sighs]
What?
It was his car?
What's he still doing there?
[door opens, closes]
[sighs]
Look at that.
We have several times more customers
than we did before all the repairs.
We'll repay the debt in no time
- at this rate.
- [Choon-seung sighs]
- He's right.
- [Beom-woo] Let's go home.
[door closes]
[sighs]
We start early tomorrow morning,
so don't be late.
- Okay?
- [Myung-sook] Okay.
- [Choon-seung] Yes, Chef.
- Yeon-joo.
"Yeon-joo"?
I'm sorry.
Let's talk for a second.
[sighs]
[sighs]
Are you not going home?
- We should go.
- Let's go home.
Goodness gracious.
- Take care.
- I'm off.
Oh, wait. My bag.
[sighs]
- I was right.
- Right about what?
I was wondering where I'd seen him before,
and it was from here.
- It is him.
- [Myung-sook] Right?
Judging from the photo
and their conversation
It's obvious there used to be something
between them.
What are you on about?
What is this? [sighs]
AT LE MURIR
What's this?
"Le Murir"
Take a look at this too.
I've been curious about this for a while.
It's all in English.
[clears throat]
[Beom-woo] What?
[Choon-seung] "CIA"? [gasps]
She's a cop?
I should've said this first.
I was wrong
in every way.
But give me a chance to explain.
Go ahead.
I wanted to come.
I wanted to come
all this time [inhales deeply]
but I couldn't.
To come and show myself
before you [inhales deeply]
I stayed instead of you. [sighs]
I wanted to make myself known at Murir
and continue your work
What gives you the right?
It was my choice.
I made the choice to leave Murir.
Are we done talking?
[Jeon Min] Yeon-joo.
Can you please leave?
- [inhales deeply] Yeon-joo, I
- [door opens]
Our Chef Mo has to go home now.
Sir.
This is the way out.
You said you'd kill us if we came in late.
You should leave too, Chef.
Goodbye.
[Jeon Min] I missed you.
A lot.
[sighs]
[chef, in Japanese] Who was it?
Who prepared the pufferfish?
I
[breathing shakily]
It was
It was me.
[breathing shakily]
Do you know what you've done?
With this incident,
everything I've built and worked for
went down the drain.
Three stars down the drain
and Murir's reputation completely ruined!
All because of you.
All because of you!
- [gasps]
- [sighs]
I'll take responsibility.
[breathing shakily]
I'll take full responsibility
and resign.
[Jeon Min gasps]
[breathing shakily]
[Yeon-joo] It's okay.
It'll be okay.
[sighs]
[sighs]
WE HAVE
IMPORTANT GUESTS TOMORROW
DON'T GET DISTRACTED AND FOCUS
YEON-JOO
[sighs]
RESERVED FOR SPECIAL GUESTS
ONLY TODAY
PLEASE COME AGAIN ANOTHER TIME!
[Choon-seung grunts]
- [Beom-woo] Wait. A bit more to the right.
- To the right?
- This way?
- Hang on.
Yeah, that's it.
[whimsical music playing]
WELCOME
[in French] Hello.
- [parent 1] Hello. Thank you.
- [car door closes]
[parent 2] Hello.
- [in Korean] Thank you for coming.
- [in French] Thank you.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[grunts]
[parent 3, in Korean] What's the point
when we can't even communicate? Geez.
[in French] Please come this way.
[parent 2] Thank you.
- It's going to be okay.
- Yeah.
[in Korean] Hey,
it's way more tense than I expected.
[clears throat]
[clears throat]
[in French] Hello.
[in Korean] Hello.
We prepared a course that accentuates
what the two cuisines have in common.
[chuckles]
[speaking French]
[inhales deeply] Take your time
and enjoy your meal.
[sighs]
[uplifting music playing]
[in French] This is
an amuse-bouche made by Jungjae.
Korean yukhoe, beef tartare,
served on gamtae chips.
[in Korean] Is this it?
- This isn't Korean cuisine.
- [customer 2] Father.
I only eat Korean food.
- [clears throat]
- [sighs]
He's not even touching it. What do we do?
These are square-shaped dumplings,
pyeonsu, filled with tofu and oysters,
which are your favorites.
It's served with
refreshing beef brisket broth.
You'll be able to taste the rich flavor
of the oysters if you eat them together.
[in French] Please go ahead.
- [parent 1 sighs]
- [parent 2 chuckles]
[in Korean] It's Korean food this time.
You should try it.
[clears throat]
[customer 2] Come on, just try some.
[inhales deeply] Father. [chuckles]
Please, enjoy yourself.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[clears throat]
[clears throat] It's not bad.
[chuckles]
Go. Now.
This is the one.
[in English] Let's go.
[in Korean] Sir.
This is Jungjae's special makgeolli.
I made it myself.
SHIN Choon-SEUNG'S
SPECIAL MAKGEOLLI
Carbon dioxide is formed
during the fermenting process,
and it clears and refreshes the palate.
So we paired it with an oily dish.
[in English] Special Korean white wine.
Thank you. [chuckles]
[customer 2, in French]
You're going to like it.
Mmm.
Oh, it's delicious. [gasps]
Ooh
[customer 2, in Korean]
She says it's delicious.
[grunts]
How do you say "cheers" in French?
[in French] "Santé."
Santé.
[all chuckling]
- Santé.
- Santé.
- [parent 2] What a great day.
- [laughing]
[customer 1] Indeed.
[parent 3, in Korean]
What's the next dish?
[Beom-woo] Sir.
We were told you like samgyetang,
so we combined that
with a French-style seafood soup.
You combined the two?
[Beom-woo] Yes. [chuckles]
I'm sure it'll be to your liking.
- My, this is delicious.
- [chuckles]
[parent 3, grunts] This is delicious too.
It's delicious.
Yes, it's delicious indeed.
We might be from different countries,
but I guess everyone's palates
are the same.
[chuckles]
Dear in-law.
Thank you so much for allowing my son
to marry our precious daughter.
[in French] He's thanking you
for raising such a beautiful daughter.
Ah
[speaking French]
[chuckles]
[in Korean] She thanked you
for raising a great young man.
[chuckles]
[in English] Thank you.
Thank you.
[chuckles]
[in Korean] Let's eat.
- [in French] Santé.
- Santé.
- Santé.
- Santé.
- Santé, sweetie.
- Santé.
[laughing]
[in Korean] They enjoyed the meal.
[chuckles]
And these two are perfect together.
RESERVED FOR SPECIAL GUESTS
ONLY TODAY
PLEASE COME AGAIN ANOTHER TIME!
It was the first meal
that my fiancée's parents both liked.
- Thank you so very much. [chuckles]
- Oh, we should thank you.
[in French] It was truly the best meal
I've ever had in my life.
[in Korean] I really liked it.
[gasps, chuckles]
This is the first time
I've heard my father-in-law say that.
He's an incredible gourmet.
- He's really famous.
- [all gasp]
Thank you. Please come again.
[chuckling]
Sir, you know where to send
the wedding invitation, right?
- [laughing]
- Sure, I'll send you one.
- All right, let's go.
- Yes.
I really enjoyed the food.
Let's go now.
Get back safely.
- Get home safely.
- Have a safe trip.
- Book them for the wedding dinner.
- [in French] See you again.
Okay.
[door opens]
[in Korean] Are you hungry?
No.
[door closes]
Let's clean up.
- Come on.
- One second.
[sighs]
So [clears throat]
do we clean up and go?
Go where?
Well
You know.
What we
agreed on. [inhales deeply]
I mean
[inhales deeply] The You know
- [door opens]
- The date
We're not open today.
[inhales deeply] I'm here to eat dinner.
[chuckles] What's up with you?
This Hanok Village
has lots of famous restaurants.
- Go eat somewhere else.
- [Yeon-joo] I told him to come.
What?
Sit wherever you want.
I'll finish up and lock up afterward.
You can go home first.
There's too much to do.
- You can't manage on your own.
- [Choon-seung] Right. You'll need help.
[Yeon-joo] I'll be fine.
- No. I'll stay and help.
- [sighs] It's fine.
I'll be there by 9 p.m. See you there.
[sighing]
[sighing]
[chewing]
It's good. [chuckles]
It's good even without peperoncini.
[chuckles] I'd expect
nothing less from Mo Yeon-joo.
Why do you think I cooked for you?
Mmm
To make a point
that even here [inhales deeply]
you're still cooking.
Something like that?
[chuckles]
You probably don't remember,
but this is what we used to make and eat
with leftover ingredients.
We ate this hundreds of times.
Both you and my food
[inhales deeply]
have changed a lot.
So, Jeon Min
let's never meet again.
I just want you to be well.
[Jeon Min] No. I remember everything.
We just ate without even emulsifying it.
The staff meals we ate back then.
[breathes shakily]
I chose to leave Murir
You resent me.
[Yeon-joo] Yeah.
I did resent you.
I resented you. [inhales deeply]
Because you never called after that.
- I told you I had my reasons.
- I don't care anymore.
Yeon-joo.
I don't want to know about you anymore,
and I don't want to resent you.
Do you know how much I loved Murir?
I loved and respected every person
in the kitchen.
- And for you, I
- I know.
Chef Tatsuo, who you respected so much,
misses you a lot.
All this talk doesn't change anything,
so let's just stop.
We can go back to those days.
We can change things.
[sighs]
Should I have waited and come with her?
What, am I bothered?
No.
[Yeon-joo] Hey, you doofus.
You're really good at being a nuisance.
What took you so long?
What are we going to do?
Do you know what this means?
[shushes] Be quiet and follow me.
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
[Yeon-joo sighs] Where are we going?
I'm exhausted!
We're almost there.
So this is the kind of date you meant?
No late-night date is complete
without a rooftop.
Ta-da.
[scoffs] This is rather modest compared
to how you always boast about money.
What? This is modest?
It's a rooftop theater.
[inhales deeply] It must've cost a bit.
[sighs]
Will you stop worrying about money?
I'm Han Beom-woo.
[vendor] You want
to rent my rooftop for free?
Yeah, sure, my dear newbie. [chuckles]
- You know, love isn't easy.
- [sighs]
I got myself a wife on that very rooftop.
- You need to [grunts]
- [sighs]
fight for love.
- [exclaiming]
- [vendor grunts]
Water. I need water.
I know some people here [sniffs]
so I pulled some strings.
[sighs]
I like movies where limbs get chopped off.
What gets chopped off?
[chuckles]
[people on-screen talking indistinctly]
[chuckles]
[Yeon-joo breathing heavily]
[chuckles]
[soft, melodic music playing]
What kind of life did you live?
[sighs]
A late-night movie
and a stroll around Hanok Village.
I didn't expect this from you.
[chuckles]
Did you expect me to take you out
on a private plane or a helicopter?
Though it would be possible.
[chuckles]
By the way,
do you even remember
what happened in the movie?
[chuckles]
Why aren't you asking?
About what?
[stutters] You know, about who he is,
what he does, and how I know him.
[inhales deeply]
You know [clears throat]
I don't care about that.
I'm sure
you'll tell me if you want to.
Eventually.
Right?
[chuckles]
I'm an orphan.
What?
I was a baby, so I don't even remember.
But apparently, I was abandoned
at a hermitage at the base of a mountain.
All I remember of my childhood
is the mountain, the forest,
the temple, and monks.
That's about it.
Then I got older,
and I fell in love with cooking.
That's how I made my living.
Then I studied at CIA
and ended up in Japan.
At Le Murir, which you also know of.
That's where I met Jeon Min.
I liked him a lot.
It was the first time
anyone had treated me nicely.
[sighs]
I see, but
I didn't want to know all that. [chuckles]
Anyway, now [clears throat]
you're broken up.
So
why is he here?
He wants me to come back to Murir.
Are you going to go?
[scoffs]
Why would I go?
Our restaurant's doing so well.
Right.
We might take over
the entire neighborhood. [chuckles]
[Yeon-joo chuckles]
[sighs]
BAEKSU INN
[Beom-woo sighs]
[sighs]
[Yeon-joo sighs]
[sighs]
[Myung-sook grunts, mutters]
Where have you been all this time?
What are you talking about?
She went to Sapporo?
Yeah.
Do you think Chef Mo
abandoned us and the restaurant?
Neither of you showed up on time,
so we were getting ready
to open without you guys.
Then I found this in the kitchen.
[Yeon-joo] Something urgent came up,
so I'm going to Sapporo.
I need you to take over
Jungjae's new kitchen for a while.
I'm sorry I only had time
to leave this short note.
[Jeon Min] The flight is at 4:10 p.m.
I'll be waiting.
[sighs]
TASTEFULLY YOURS
[Myung-sook] This means
she doesn't trust us.
- I'll show you what I'm capable of.
- [screams]
- We can do it!
- We can do it!
This isn't cooked properly.
He came here to steal all the recipes!
[Young-hye] We might all go down together!
- What the heck?
- [Jeon Min] Why don't you work with me?
Let's look. Let's do whatever we can.
Stop.
I came because I missed you!
He keeps trying to cross the line.
We already crossed the line.

[theme music playing]
- [tires screech]
- [dog barks]
[all exclaim]
TASTEFULLY YOURS
- Yes!
- I can't believe it went over.
Wait right here.
- Hey!
- [grunts]
- [child] I lost all my ddakji.
- What are you doing here?
- [child] She won them all.
- I was waiting for you.
For me? Why?
Hey! Let's play again!
- Come on, guys.
- [Beom-woo] You little punks.
- Run.
- W-What for?
- [child 1] Wait! Let's play another round!
- [child 2] Where are you going?
[romantic music playing]
- [panting]
- [Beom-woo] We came far enough.
[panting] We're good.
They stopped chasing us. [chuckles]
- [huffs]
- [stammers]
You grabbed my hand first.
That was then. This is now.
[sighs] I really don't get you.
No, there's no way.
Are you sulking?
It's not like you to sulk.
Come on. Don't be like that.
Why are you in such a good mood?
- We didn't even win first place.
- I won them all.
[softly] What did you win?
[giggles]
From now on,
I'm the ddakji queen of this area.
[giggles]
I don't believe this. This is so annoying!
[scoffs]
Are you jealous?
[sighing] Fine, all right.
Pick one and I'll give it to you.
Which one do you want?
Forget it.
Why are you so irritated?
Why wouldn't I be?
Just accept it.
We lost.
- Do you think that's what this is about?
- Then what is it about?
Forget it.
- Tell me. What is it about?
- I said forget it!
Tell me!
Apparently, it looks like I have a crush.
Apparently, that's what it looks like!
Have a crush on what?
[sighs]
On you.
I like you.
[romantic music playing]
Then
you can have all of them.
[gasps]
[Choon-seung] What the heck?
You two
- [gasps]
- [fireworks exploding]
[grunts]
Ooh! [groans]
[exclaims]
[grunts]
What?
- Blood. I'm bleeding!
- Oh, dear!
[grunting, groaning]
- [sighs]
- [groaning continues]
I think I broke a bone. Damn it.
- Is my nose crooked?
- [sighs]
TASTEFULLY YOURS
[water running]
[water dripping]
- [gasps]
- [water dripping]
- [Yeon-joo gasps]
- [door opens]
[gasps]
Ms. Mo?
Are you not up yet?
[whispers] Sleep well.
INTERNAL REPAIRS IN PROGRESS
- [grunting] It's so heavy.
- Oh, come on.
No, wait. Hang on.
- Keep moving.
- Don't put it down. Just go.
- Watch the door.
- I gripped it wrong.
Whoa
[sighs]
It looks much better.
This is it.
This is what a fine-dining kitchen
should look like.
I have incredible taste
in interior design, don't I?
- I practically did this for you for free.
- Hey, Chef?
- So
- Oh, gosh. Are you done already?
- [builder] Yeah.
- [gasps] Oh, my.
[chuckles] Is she a ninja or what?
She moves so swiftly.
- Good work, guys.
- [chuckles] Thanks.
That room will take a while to fix.
Will it?
The floor's really old,
so it'll take some time
until it completely dries out.
- It can't be helped.
- Call me if there are any problems.
- I will.
- Okay.
Take care, everyone.
- [worker] See you.
- Take care.
[Myung-sook] Bye.
- See you.
- Bye.
[door opens]
[Yeon-joo] Goodbye.
Ooh!
Why are you grinning
like you have a screw loose?
Get everything sorted!
We've got to open soon.
- [Choon-seung chuckles] She's embarrassed.
- Hey, Chef.
- [sighs]
- So, about yesterday
[crockery clinks]
What about yesterday?
I mean, I couldn't ask you something
because you looked so busy.
Mmm.
Look here.
You see how there are
four bar stools here?
Should we space them evenly
for complete strangers,
or should we put two closer together
just like a sweet couple
that's sitting next to each other?
Couples, my foot.
Why would we put the chairs
closer together?
Separate them all!
- [Myung-sook] Separate them?
- [chuckles, sighs]
Wouldn't it be better
to place them as if they were a couple?
- [chuckles]
- [Choon-seung chuckles]
- What did you say?
- You two. [chuckling]
- Your eyes just met, didn't they?
- [Myung-sook] Oh, my.
Things are going way too fast.
They used to be at each other's throats
and fought like crazy. [chuckling]
They made such a fuss.
- But suddenly
- Suddenly
- They kissed!
- They kissed!
[Myung-sook, Choon-seung grunting]
[chuckles]
Come on. Will you stop it?
- Damn you.
- [grunts]
[Yeon-joo] Stop with all the nonsense.
Listen up, everyone. I won't repeat this.
What happened yesterday
was a mistake.
Was it or not?
Yeah, it was.
Exactly.
So don't get weird ideas
or jump to conclusions.
That's forbidden.
No assumptions!
- [door opens]
- [customer 1, in French] Excuse me?
[grunts]
[stammers]
Is this Jungjae?
- [customer 2] Yeah, I think so.
- [in English] What?
[gasps]
[in French] Hello.
Welcome.
- [stammers]
- You speak French.
Yes, I can. [chuckles]
[gasps]
Hello.
Hello.
[in Korean] He speaks French too.
[Choon-seung] He speaks French. [chuckles]
[in French]
How did you find our restaurant?
We had your gimbap
at the food truck festival,
and it was delicious.
I took your business card then.
Oh, I see.
Thank you.
[in Korean] Sometimes,
he seems so learned.
My thoughts exactly. He surprises me.
- [Beom-woo chuckles]
- [Choon-seung] What are they saying?
I don't get a word.
[in French] Thank you so much.
- [customer 2] We'll be counting on you.
- Sure.
[customer 2] Let's go.
- Yes, yes.
- [Myung-sook] Yes, yes.
- [customer 1, in English] Bye.
- Bye-bye.
Say goodbye.
- [door closes]
- [in Korean] Well? What did she say?
What? Just now?
- Yeah.
- [Beom-woo chuckles] Oh, gosh.
[sighs] Okay, so
They tried our food
at the food truck festival
and said it was delicious.
- So it was just to their taste. [chuckles]
- [chuckling]
[Myung-sook] But why did they leave
without ordering?
No, they didn't come to eat.
They wanted to make a reservation
for the day after tomorrow.
We need to turn them down.
[sighs] At least let me explain
the situation
- even if we end up turning them down.
- Exactly.
They're getting married,
and they want their parents to meet here.
- [Beom-woo] What?
- [Myung-sook] How did you know that?
She's just as surprising.
The woman's parents are flying in,
but her mom can't eat Korean food,
and neither families
welcome the international union.
Isn't that about it?
- No way.
- Oh, my gosh.
You know how to speak French?
The kitchen's not ready yet,
and it's too much pressure.
Hear me out.
If we take that reservation,
we can earn in one day
what we do in a week.
Why should we turn it down?
I get it. It's not just about money.
They think
both parents will like our food.
All else aside, consider it
from a customer management perspective.
Yeah, that's right.
Why turn down a great opportunity?
We could use this as an opportunity
to brand ourselves as
- Jungjae, the bridge of love.
- [chuckling]
Yeah. We could host events
as a love bridge
and give couples a chance to kiss
- [grunts]
- [Myung-sook grunts]
That topic's forbidden.
[Myung-sook sighs]
[inhales sharply]
Just this once.
[sighs] Do they think it's easy
- to host that kind of event?
- [Beom-woo inhales deeply]
[in English] Yes, yes.
[in Korean] We get to serve foreigners.
[Choon-seung, in English] Yes, yes.
[in Korean] What's wrong with her?
- [Choon-seung] How can it be a mistake?
- [laughing]
Of course it was a mistake.
It was a complete mistake.
[chuckles] I mean, come on.
Don't we all make such mistakes
at least once in our lives?
- [Myung-sook] We do.
- Right?
- Am I wrong?
- We do, so often.
- Being born was a mistake in itself.
- Geez.
[Myung-sook] Everything's a mistake.
[exhales]
Let me be brutally honest.
We're both adults.
So what if a grown man
and woman's lips touched?
Is that such a big deal?
- [Myung-sook] I guess not.
- Am I wrong?
[Beom-woo] Seriously.
You know, when I
What's that place called? Paris.
When I lived in the 18th arrondissement
I did it every day.
I kissed someone every single day.
- Oh, wow. You kissed every single day?
- [Beom-woo] Seriously.
Good for you.
That's why you're so fluent in French.
[Myung-sook] Yeah.
You did such fun stuff every day.
- I'm so jealous. [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
The 18th arrondissement, huh?
- [Choon-seung] You know
- [Myung-sook] What?
I just don't think it was a mistake.
I agree.
I don't think it was a mistake either.
[Beom-woo chuckles] Goodness.
Okay then.
Tell me what you think, Choon-seung.
What do you think it was
if it wasn't a mistake?
I think
it was more like
a wrongdoing.
Seeing this guy makes me think
it was a huge crime.
This guy made me realize that. [grunts]
[Myung-sook] Huh?
Swordtip squid tastes better
when you whack it like this.
[Choon-seung] But what did you whack
me for?
[Myung-sook] You're so clueless.
[in French] Only my fiancé's father
will be attending from his family,
and he only wants Korean food.
[sighing] But my mom can't eat
Korean food,
and she avoids eating
spicy and salty food.
So we're having quite a hard time
finding a restaurant to meet at.
Korean cuisine
that's not spicy or salty.
Not spicy or salty
[sultry music playing]
Ah!
- [Beom-woo kisses]
- [screams]
[sighs]
[sighs, grunts]
- [neck cracks]
- [sighs]
[Beom-woo laughs]
[slurring] A mistake.
A mistake
It makes no sense.
Han Beom-woo?
[grunts] Mo Yeon-joo?
[scoffs] My gosh.
You look just like her.
[sighing]
Did you drink again?
Mo Yeon-joo.
[inhales deeply]
You know, I was really popular in Seoul.
[chuckles]
You got a chance
to kiss someone perfect like me.
[inhales deeply]
How can you call that a mistake?
Take it back.
That's nonsense. It makes zero sense.
It doesn't make sense. [sighs]
It doesn't make sense! [whining]
What do you want me to do then?
You might find me overwhelming.
I get that.
I'm quite good-looking.
I'm fit.
I did well in school. I went to Harton.
That says it all.
What about your personality? Hmm?
Your personality
is the worst of the worst.
What about yours then?
Your personality is just as bad.
Yeah, so let's call it a mistake!
What good can come from two
horrible personalities getting involved?
I want to get involved!
I want to get madly involved with you!
[whimsical music playing]
Even if you want to get madly involved,
some things just can't happen.
Why? Why not?
A kitchen is where you cook, not date.
Then we can keep that out of the kitchen.
What do you think this is, a rom-com?
When we're in the kitchen,
I won't say a word to you.
I'll pretend I don't exist.
I'll be invisible.
Say I enter the kitchen, okay?
I'm gone. I'm invisible.
But once I leave?
I exist.
[chuckles]
Let me take you out on a date.
Go on a date with me first,
and then decide
whether you want to date me or not.
Although, I'm sure you'll want to.
I'm leaving.
[in English] Okay.
[in Korean]
It's the day after tomorrow, right?
After serving the customers
the day after tomorrow,
let's go on a date that evening.
Are you even listening to what I'm saying?
Yeah, I'm listening.
- Hey.
- What?
We're going on a date that evening.
I'll show you
what a real date is.
I'll make sure of it.
[whooping]
[cheers]
[sighs]
[yawns]
Good morning.
[in English] Hey, yo.
[in Korean] Why are you dressed like that?
[sighs]
Well
Why do you think I'm dressed like this?
[gasps]
"Jungjae."
I should dress the part
for a fine-dining restaurant.
- Also, there are a few more.
- Yeah!
- [cheering]
- [Myung-sook] What? We get one too!
- [Beom-woo] Here.
- Thanks so much.
- What do you think? Aren't they pretty?
- [Myung-sook] They're pretty. My goodness.
What about me? Where's mine?
You're still here?
Oh, my. Our repairs were done ages ago.
What's the gukbap boy still doing here?
What's gukbap?
I have no idea what that is. [sighs]
That really hurt my feelings.
The food truck battlefield.
Our comradeship.
Did you forget that just like that?
I stacked all those cups and
Oh, you're that guy.
So when will you leave?
What do you mean?
Once you're a part of Jungjae,
you're forever a part of Jungjae.
Jungjae, our Jungjae!
[chuckles] Do whatever you want.
[Choon-seung] Are you really going to leave
me out? I know you have one for me too.
[uplifting music playing]
[announcer, in English] Ladies
and gentlemen, welcome aboard Han Air
Flight HA511 to Incheon Airport.
We've reached our cruising altitude.
[in Korean] Shall I prepare
your meal, sir?
Yes.
Business class passengers only
can choose between two options
from Diamant three-star
French restaurant Le Murir Sapporo.
We have the Japanese bento box
and Western frenched rack.
[passenger inhales deeply]
Could I have both the bento box
and the frenched rack?
Oh, sure. I'll prepare them both.
[passenger] Thank you.
Excuse me.
Yes, sir.
Will you try it?
It's okay, sir. We have our own
It's salty and tough, isn't it?
Pardon?
[inhales deeply]
In-flight meals are served
at a high altitude
and low barometric pressure,
so we adjusted the salt content.
You shouldn't cook it this way.
Sir, this is an in-flight meal,
so the quality of food
You said it was from
a Diamant three-star restaurant.
Yes, but
You must follow the manual
down to the last second for this menu.
The amount of sauce, the cooking time,
it's all wrong.
What's the matter?
[passenger] This is my dish.
JEON MIN
LE MURIR
We'll be discontinuing
our in-flight meal collaboration.
Please stop serving this menu from now on.
It will only damage
my restaurant's reputation.
Please wake me up when we land.
[sighs]
STREAMSIDE NAMBU MARKE
- Here you go. Good day. [chuckles]
- [customer] Thanks. Take care.
[Beom-woo] We should watch a movie
on a day like this.
Do you like a particular genre?
Hey. What are you two doing here together?
[chuckling] Have you decided
to make it official?
Let's go elsewhere.
I'm going to buy from another butcher.
I was just kidding. Come on.
Can we have some beef brisket for broth
and boneless ribs?
Do you want everything I have here?
[chuckles]
Come on, sir.
Just give us what we need.
The right amount, okay?
We're serving it to important customers,
so give us the fresh
and good-quality meat.
You're not at all like
what you used to be.
He was incredibly rude.
He wasn't just rude. He was immature too.
He acted like money
would solve all your problems.
He was so obnoxious.
[chuckling]
With his hair like this
- [chuckles]
- [laughing]
"I'll take everything."
Give us the meat already.
[butcher] Goodness, here.
There you go.
Thanks for gossiping in my presence.
The rude, immature, and obnoxious guy
will be leaving now.
But now,
you've become more human.
[scoffs]
It's all because he stopped
being a money-grubber.
- Have a good day.
- [butcher] Thanks. Bye.
You smell more human, I'm telling you.
Let's see. One, two, three, four
Is it true?
What is?
You know
Do I smell?
I'm not sure.
Will you shower more often?
No, I mean
what the butcher shop owner said.
Do I
Do I smell more human?
That's what you meant?
You always went on and on about money.
Now you seem more sincere,
though sometimes, I don't think you are.
Is that a yes or a no?
Whatever it is, I like it.
It's nice to see.
You just said you liked
Oh, right!
We have to settle a bill
with the vegetable shop owner.
Can you go pay him while you're here?
- Thanks!
- Hey
What do you like?
What do you like?
Gosh, he's so persistent.
He just doesn't let go.
[chuckles]
[Jeon Min] Yeon-joo.
[nostalgic music playing]
How
have you been?
[breathes shakily, sniffs]
- Why are you back alone?
- [in English] Hey, yo.
[sighs]
- Mo Yeon-joo.
- [in Korean] Get out.
[inhales deeply]
Let's talk. I have something
to talk to you about.
Talk about what?
What is there for us to talk about?
How have I been?
Great.
I've been great.
Are we done? Now leave.
[door closes]
[sobbing]
[sobbing continues]
[sighs]
[Beom-woo] Who the heck parked their car
in the middle of the alley?
[lighter clicking]
Hey, no. No. Wait.
[chuckles]
This is a non-smoking area. [chuckles]
The restaurant owner
[whispers] is really particular about it.
You almost would've
had your head cut off just now.
The restaurant owner
does what she says, you see.
You can smoke around the corner that way.
[door closes]
[sighs]
I'm back. [chuckles]
Thought I'd be late, didn't you?
- When it comes to work
- Get over here.
- I'm always on time.
- Come here quick.
- You tell him.
- Goodness gracious.
Someone was just here.
Someone was here? Who?
No one was here!
- Have you lost your mind?
- Have you?
Don't you have work to do?
My point exactly!
We've got work to do.
Pull yourself together.
[dishes clattering]
What?
What is it?
What
- Hello. Are you open?
- Oh, hello.
[Choon-seung] Welcome!
- Yes. A table for how many?
- Two, please.
[Beom-woo] Two? Come this way.
[grunting]
[exclaims]
[sighs]
What?
It was his car?
What's he still doing there?
[door opens, closes]
[sighs]
Look at that.
We have several times more customers
than we did before all the repairs.
We'll repay the debt in no time
- at this rate.
- [Choon-seung sighs]
- He's right.
- [Beom-woo] Let's go home.
[door closes]
[sighs]
We start early tomorrow morning,
so don't be late.
- Okay?
- [Myung-sook] Okay.
- [Choon-seung] Yes, Chef.
- Yeon-joo.
"Yeon-joo"?
I'm sorry.
Let's talk for a second.
[sighs]
[sighs]
Are you not going home?
- We should go.
- Let's go home.
Goodness gracious.
- Take care.
- I'm off.
Oh, wait. My bag.
[sighs]
- I was right.
- Right about what?
I was wondering where I'd seen him before,
and it was from here.
- It is him.
- [Myung-sook] Right?
Judging from the photo
and their conversation
It's obvious there used to be something
between them.
What are you on about?
What is this? [sighs]
AT LE MURIR
What's this?
"Le Murir"
Take a look at this too.
I've been curious about this for a while.
It's all in English.
[clears throat]
[Beom-woo] What?
[Choon-seung] "CIA"? [gasps]
She's a cop?
I should've said this first.
I was wrong
in every way.
But give me a chance to explain.
Go ahead.
I wanted to come.
I wanted to come
all this time [inhales deeply]
but I couldn't.
To come and show myself
before you [inhales deeply]
I stayed instead of you. [sighs]
I wanted to make myself known at Murir
and continue your work
What gives you the right?
It was my choice.
I made the choice to leave Murir.
Are we done talking?
[Jeon Min] Yeon-joo.
Can you please leave?
- [inhales deeply] Yeon-joo, I
- [door opens]
Our Chef Mo has to go home now.
Sir.
This is the way out.
You said you'd kill us if we came in late.
You should leave too, Chef.
Goodbye.
[Jeon Min] I missed you.
A lot.
[sighs]
[chef, in Japanese] Who was it?
Who prepared the pufferfish?
I
[breathing shakily]
It was
It was me.
[breathing shakily]
Do you know what you've done?
With this incident,
everything I've built and worked for
went down the drain.
Three stars down the drain
and Murir's reputation completely ruined!
All because of you.
All because of you!
- [gasps]
- [sighs]
I'll take responsibility.
[breathing shakily]
I'll take full responsibility
and resign.
[Jeon Min gasps]
[breathing shakily]
[Yeon-joo] It's okay.
It'll be okay.
[sighs]
[sighs]
WE HAVE

Yeah, that's it.
[whimsical music playing]
WELCOME
[in French] Hello.

[parent 2] Hello.
- [in Korean] Thank you for coming.
- [in French] Thank you.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[grunts]
[parent 3, in Korean] What's the point
when we can't even communicate? Geez.
[in French] Please come this way.
[parent 2] Thank you.
- It's going to be okay.
- Yeah.
[in Korean] Hey,
it's way more tense than I expected.
[clears throat]
[clears throat]
[in French] Hello.
[in Korean] Hello.
We prepared a course that accentuates
what the two cuisines have in common.
[chuckles]
[speaking French]
[inhales deeply] Take your time
and enjoy your meal.
[sighs]
[uplifting music playing]
[in French] This is
an amuse-bouche made by Jungjae.
Korean yukhoe, beef tartare,
served on gamtae chips.
[in Korean] Is this it?
- This isn't Korean cuisine.
- [customer 2] Father.
I only eat Korean food.
- [clears throat]
- [sighs]
He's not even touching it. What do we do?
These are square-shaped dumplings,
pyeonsu, filled with tofu and oysters,
which are your favorites.
It's served with
refreshing beef brisket broth.
You'll be able to taste the rich flavor
of the oysters if you eat them together.
[in French] Please go ahead.
- [parent 1 sighs]
- [parent 2 chuckles]
[in Korean] It's Korean food this time.
You should try it.
[clears throat]
[customer 2] Come on, just try some.
[inhales deeply] Father. [chuckles]
Please, enjoy yourself.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[clears throat]
[clears throat] It's not bad.
[chuckles]
Go. Now.
This is the one.
[in English] Let's go.
[in Korean] Sir.
This is Jungjae's special makgeolli.
I made it myself.
SHIN Choon-SEUNG'S
SPECIAL MAKGEOLLI
Carbon dioxide is formed
during the fermenting process,
and it clears and refreshes the palate.
So we paired it with an oily dish.
[in English] Special Korean white wine.
Thank you. [chuckles]
[customer 2, in French]
You're going to like it.
Mmm.
Oh, it's delicious. [gasps]
Ooh
[customer 2, in Korean]
She says it's delicious.
[grunts]
How do you say "cheers" in French?
[in French] "Santé."
Santé.
[all chuckling]
- Santé.
- Santé.
- [parent 2] What a great day.
- [laughing]
[customer 1] Indeed.
[parent 3, in Korean]
What's the next dish?
[Beom-woo] Sir.
We were told you like samgyetang,
so we combined that
with a French-style seafood soup.
You combined the two?
[Beom-woo] Yes. [chuckles]
I'm sure it'll be to your liking.
- My, this is delicious.
- [chuckles]
[parent 3, grunts] This is delicious too.
It's delicious.
Yes, it's delicious indeed.
We might be from different countries,
but I guess everyone's palates
are the same.
[chuckles]
Dear in-law.
Thank you so much for allowing my son
to marry our precious daughter.
[in French] He's thanking you
for raising such a beautiful daughter.
Ah
[speaking French]
[chuckles]
[in Korean] She thanked you
for raising a great young man.
[chuckles]
[in English] Thank you.
Thank you.
[chuckles]
[in Korean] Let's eat.
- [in French] Santé.
- Santé.
- Santé.
- Santé.
- Santé, sweetie.
- Santé.
[laughing]
[in Korean] They enjoyed the meal.
[chuckles]
And these two are perfect together.
RESERVED FOR SPECIAL GUESTS
ONLY TODAY
PLEASE COME AGAIN ANOTHER TIME!
It was the first meal
that my fiancée's parents both liked.
- Thank you so very much. [chuckles]
- Oh, we should thank you.
[in French] It was truly the best meal
I've ever had in my life.
[in Korean] I really liked it.
[gasps, chuckles]
This is the first time
I've heard my father-in-law say that.
He's an incredible gourmet.
- He's really famous.
- [all gasp]
Thank you. Please come again.
[chuckling]
Sir, you know where to send
the wedding invitation, right?
- [laughing]
- Sure, I'll send you one.
- All right, let's go.
- Yes.
I really enjoyed the food.
Let's go now.
Get back safely.
- Get home safely.
- Have a safe trip.
- Book them for the wedding dinner.
- [in French] See you again.
Okay.
[door opens]
[in Korean] Are you hungry?
No.
[door closes]
Let's clean up.
- Come on.
- One second.
[sighs]
So [clears throat]
do we clean up and go?
Go where?
Well
You know.
What we
agreed on. [inhales deeply]
I mean
[inhales deeply] The You know
- [door opens]
- The date
We're not open today.
[inhales deeply] I'm here to eat dinner.
[chuckles] What's up with you?
This Hanok Village
has lots of famous restaurants.
- Go eat somewhere else.
- [Yeon-joo] I told him to come.
What?
Sit wherever you want.
I'll finish up and lock up afterward.
You can go home first.
There's too much to do.
- You can't manage on your own.
- [Choon-seung] Right. You'll need help.
[Yeon-joo] I'll be fine.
- No. I'll stay and help.
- [sighs] It's fine.
I'll be there by 9 p.m. See you there.
[sighing]
[sighing]
[chewing]
It's good. [chuckles]
It's good even without peperoncini.
[chuckles] I'd expect
nothing less from Mo Yeon-joo.
Why do you think I cooked for you?
Mmm
To make a point
that even here [inhales deeply]
you're still cooking.
Something like that?
[chuckles]
You probably don't remember,
but this is what we used to make and eat
with leftover ingredients.
We ate this hundreds of times.
Both you and my food
[inhales deeply]
have changed a lot.
So, Jeon Min
let's never meet again.
I just want you to be well.
[Jeon Min] No. I remember everything.
We just ate without even emulsifying it.
The staff meals we ate back then.
[breathes shakily]
I chose to leave Murir
You resent me.
[Yeon-joo] Yeah.
I did resent you.
I resented you. [inhales deeply]
Because you never called after that.
- I told you I had my reasons.
- I don't care anymore.
Yeon-joo.
I don't want to know about you anymore,
and I don't want to resent you.
Do you know how much I loved Murir?
I loved and respected every person
in the kitchen.
- And for you, I
- I know.
Chef Tatsuo, who you respected so much,
misses you a lot.
All this talk doesn't change anything,
so let's just stop.
We can go back to those days.
We can change things.
[sighs]
Should I have waited and come with her?
What, am I bothered?
No.
[Yeon-joo] Hey, you doofus.
You're really good at being a nuisance.
What took you so long?
What are we going to do?
Do you know what this means?
[shushes] Be quiet and follow me.
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
[Yeon-joo sighs] Where are we going?
I'm exhausted!
We're almost there.
So this is the kind of date you meant?
No late-night date is complete
without a rooftop.
Ta-da.
[scoffs] This is rather modest compared
to how you always boast about money.
What? This is modest?
It's a rooftop theater.
[inhales deeply] It must've cost a bit.
[sighs]
Will you stop worrying about money?
I'm Han Beom-woo.
[vendor] You want
to rent my rooftop for free?
Yeah, sure, my dear newbie. [chuckles]
- You know, love isn't easy.
- [sighs]
I got myself a wife on that very rooftop.
- You need to [grunts]
- [sighs]
fight for love.
- [exclaiming]
- [vendor grunts]
Water. I need water.
I know some people here [sniffs]
so I pulled some strings.
[sighs]
I like movies where limbs get chopped off.
What gets chopped off?
[chuckles]
[people on-screen talking indistinctly]
[chuckles]
[Yeon-joo breathing heavily]
[chuckles]
[soft, melodic music playing]
What kind of life did you live?
[sighs]
A late-night movie
and a stroll around Hanok Village.
I didn't expect this from you.
[chuckles]
Did you expect me to take you out
on a private plane or a helicopter?
Though it would be possible.
[chuckles]
By the way,
do you even remember
what happened in the movie?
[chuckles]
Why aren't you asking?
About what?
[stutters] You know, about who he is,
what he does, and how I know him.
[inhales deeply]
You know [clears throat]
I don't care about that.
I'm sure
you'll tell me if you want to.
Eventually.
Right?
[chuckles]
I'm an orphan.
What?
I was a baby, so I don't even remember.
But apparently, I was abandoned
at a hermitage at the base of a mountain.
All I remember of my childhood
is the mountain, the forest,
the temple, and monks.
That's about it.
Then I got older,
and I fell in love with cooking.
That's how I made my living.
Then I studied at CIA
and ended up in Japan.
At Le Murir, which you also know of.
That's where I met Jeon Min.
I liked him a lot.
It was the first time
anyone had treated me nicely.
[sighs]
I see, but
I didn't want to know all that. [chuckles]
Anyway, now [clears throat]
you're broken up.
So
why is he here?
He wants me to come back to Murir.
Are you going to go?
[scoffs]
Why would I go?
Our restaurant's doing so well.
Right.
We might take over
the entire neighborhood. [chuckles]
[Yeon-joo chuckles]
[sighs]
BAEKSU INN
[Beom-woo sighs]
[sighs]
[Yeon-joo sighs]
[sighs]
[Myung-sook grunts, mutters]
Where have you been all this time?
What are you talking about?
She went to Sapporo?
Yeah.
Do you think Chef Mo
abandoned us and the restaurant?
Neither of you showed up on time,
so we were getting ready
to open without you guys.
Then I found this in the kitchen.
[Yeon-joo] Something urgent came up,
so I'm going to Sapporo.
I need you to take over
Jungjae's new kitchen for a while.
I'm sorry I only had time
to leave this short note.
[Jeon Min] The flight is at 4:10 p.m.
I'll be waiting.
[sighs]
TASTEFULLY YOURS
[Myung-sook] This means
she doesn't trust us.
- I'll show you what I'm capable of.
- [screams]
- We can do it!
- We can do it!
This isn't cooked properly.
He came here to steal all the recipes!
[Young-hye] We might all go down together!
- What the heck?
- [Jeon Min] Why don't you work with me?
Let's look. Let's do whatever we can.
Stop.
I came because I missed you!
He keeps trying to cross the line.
We already crossed the line.
