SEOWOO HOSPITAL
Come in.
PARK MI-NA
Mr. Park.
-Hello.
-Are you here?
Welcome.
I came to visit.
Is it okay that I'm here?
Of course, we're happy to see you.
Yes. We're very fond of you, Mr. Park.
I've been waiting.
When will you let me into your life?
Do you think
it's just fun and games for me?
Why do you only think about yourself?
I don't only think about myself.
SEOWOO HOSPITAL
I made this because I thought
you wouldn't have time to eat.
Why are you giving it to me now?
You should come inside.
Not today.
You should go in
and have it with your family.
I'm grateful for the lunch box,
but I'd like it better if you could
come inside and greet my dad.
I have some things to think about.
I'm sorry.
Thanks.
You should eat something, sir.
I don't have any appetite.
Dad. You still have to eat.
The surgery will take five hours.
Your mom is suffering so much.
How could I eat?
You and Mom are one.
Mom will be able to recover quickly
only if you stay strong.
I brought food.
Jeong-seon made lunch boxes for us.
That's great. I didn't feel like
eating out today.
Then I'll get going now.
Mr. Park. You should eat with us.
You didn't even have breakfast.
Is she in a VIP room?
It's going to cost a fortune.
You should've told me
that she got scheduled for surgery.
I'm sorry.
It's delicious.
Dad, try this.
Thanks.
Do you want some water, Dad?
Yes.
Would you like some too, Mr. Park?
Yes, please.
You're lucky that your boyfriend's a chef.
He probably cooks these for you often.
I'm sick of the same food.
Someone's green with envy.
I don't want to be the jealous one here.
So I'll take that back.
I feel better now that
I'm eating some food.
I agree.
I thought I was going to die
from suffocation.
Hey, eat yours!
Are you fighting again?
At least it helps liven up the mood.
What do you like?
Something warm.
Warm is nice.
I like that,
but I also like seafood.
-It's filling.
-Seafood is delicious, too.
You guys seem close these days.
It's not like that.
Then go out with me.
-You've gone nuts, haven't you?
-No.
-No. I haven't.
-Stop fooling around.
About the men
Su-jeong wasn't sure about
The men who didn't finish their dish?
What about them?
What if they were from Michelin?
Then we wouldn't be awarded a star, right?
Probably not.
We screwed up the sauce.
Then our restaurant will keep going under.
You can go down with it.
Once the Michelin result is out
in November,
I'm leaving.
You have no sense of loyalty.
You don't have the right to say that
when all you care about is money.
Hey.
"Hey"?
Who said you can address me like that?
Stop it. He's just a kid.
I'm not a kid.
You're sitting here like a little girl.
Stop talking nonsense.
I'll sit with you.
This reminds me of my childhood.
Why are you doing this?
I said that I would ride the bus,
but you insisted on coming with me.
Then you were late!
You can sit here alone and think about
your childhood all you want.
Well, I
Why are you doing this to me?
Why are you talking down to me?
So, what do you think about, you know
What are you talking about?
I've been sending you enough signs,
but why are you ignoring them?
What else would it be?
It means I'm not interested.
Fine.
Do you hate me, or do you hate dating?
Both.
I've never worked this hard before
to try to date someone who wears glasses,
and is not my type.
This is a first for me.
I've never had a man
who's made a move on me.
So let me enjoy this kind of thing
a little more.
Gyeong.
Isn't this for Hyeon-soo's mom?
That's right.
You want me to carry this?
Is this so hard for you
to carry by yourself?
No. I said that because I just wanted to
keep the conversation going.
I bought it for you, Gyeong.
Well
You kind of look like that bear.
Gyeong.
-Ms. Hwangbo.
-What?
Let's walk together.
It was delicious.
Thanks to you, my dad was able to eat.
We have three lunch reservations
for ten people,
and three dinner reservations
for eight people.
That's one more table
compared to yesterday.
Mr. Park.
Are you here for a meeting?
Yes. Can't you change the director?
Why are you doing this again?
I can't help the urge to badger you
whenever I see you.
I see that you took care of
the hospital issue Hyeon-soo had.
Because it was something
I could take care of.
Which you got to know about thanks to me.
I'm still rooting for you and Hyeon-soo.
I want Jeong-seon to grow old alone.
You seem to hold a lot of grudges
against him.
I'm definitely not a fan of his.
He never settles for anything average.
It's either all or nothing.
That's what I liked him for.
If you want to make the woman
of the person you like yours,
you shouldn't have that mindset.
You have to know your enemy
as well as yourself in order to win.
Then win. That's all I care about.
Go have a meeting with Director Min now.
Your work is On Entertainment's
highly anticipated drama.
Mine should be the only anticipated drama.
Yes.
Mr. Park. Ms. Lee's mother
is still in surgery.
It's taking longer than scheduled.
All right.
I heard Hyeon-soo's mother had surgery.
How did you find out about that?
Won-jun told me on my way in.
I feel so bad for her.
She's still so young.
Hyeon-soo must be very upset.
You should be grateful that
you don't need to worry about my health.
Are you not mad at me anymore?
This is for you.
It's because you wash your hands
ever so frequently.
It's something I already had.
I didn't buy it.
It's what I've been using, but I
brought it for you. It's really nice.
I'm trying my best.
You might not be able to tell
a difference,
but I'm really doing my best.
Did you eat?
Yes, I ate.
Mr. Park.
Her surgery ended well,
so you don't need to worry.
Thank you.
Can I meet her?
Don't be too startled.
Welcome.
Hello.
I'm glad you're here.
Thank you for the delicious breakfast.
I wanted to see you
before you had your surgery,
but I couldn't because you were sleeping.
It's okay.
I made some food
that's good to eat after surgery.
My goodness. Thank you.
We owe you a debt of gratitude.
I'm glad I can do this for you.
You don't owe me anything.
Thank you.
What brings you here
in the middle of work?
Why aren't you at the hospital?
I was there just a while ago.
By the way, Chef On came too,
with a lot of food.
I'm thinking about learning how to cook.
I think Ms. Hwangbo has a thing
for men who can cook.
Why are you being such a fool?
You only ended up benefiting Chef On.
The love you have for her
is just too heart-wrenching.
Give me the drama proposal
before your meeting.
Hyeon-soo didn't give it to me yet.
I'll tell her to give it to you.
It's hard, isn't it?
Her surgery went well,
so I just hope she recovers quickly.
I want to be of help.
The fact that you're beside me
is enough to make me feel better.
How long is she going to be
hospitalized for?
About a week.
I'll keep cooking for her,
so don't worry about that.
I'm benefiting a lot
from having a boyfriend who's a chef.
Hello. Did you come to check up on her?
Yes.
I had to check up on her because
Mr. Park pleaded with me to do so.
I see.
Some people might think
he's her son-in-law.
He even came to see me earlier
after her surgery.
-I'll go now.
-Thank you.
My gosh, I fell asleep.
You should sleep, Dad.
Mr. Park is our family's savior.
Since your mom's sleeping,
I should get some sleep too.
Lie down.
Okay. Thank you.
A FEW DAYS LATER
Hello.
-Is Mr. Park inside?
-Yes.
Hello.
This is very unexpected.
You rarely come to visit.
I'm not that heartless.
I never said you were.
Thank you for looking after my mom.
We still have trust for each other.
And who's the one
who took that trust very lightly?
I wouldn't have come here
if I had taken it lightly.
I always tell you
that I'm thankful and I'm sorry.
I thought I'd never have to say that
to you again, but here I am.
You think it's only you who's been
receiving things from me, don't you?
But you're wrong.
I've received a lot more from you.
I'll go now.
My mom's moving to another hospital room.
It was my parents' suggestion.
I read your script. I'll send it
to the broadcasting company.
Okay.
Oh, hello.
Hello.
Hyeon-soo's not here right now.
Didn't you call her before you came?
I thought she'd be here.
I need to hurry back, anyway.
I was able to come during break hours.
What is
Thank you for everything.
It's nothing.
I feel uncomfortable with Chef On
coming here too often.
What's there to be uncomfortable about?
He's not even our son-in-law.
Try talking to him
so that he won't get offended.
What should I tell him?
Tell him that
he doesn't need to come here.
They're still young. You never know
what will happen between them.
What if he gets upset?
He's been so kind to us.
Thank you.
-These mandarins are delicious.
-Thank you.
Thank you for making time to visit
when you're busy.
There's no need for you
to feel uncomfortable.
Mr. Park, you have an appointment
with Mr. Yoo at 7 p.m.
Hyeon-soo.
Hey.
-Hello.
-Hi.
Are you guys seeing each other?
We agreed to try it for a month.
I guess you like things
to be clear in relationships.
Yes.
Didn't you call Jeong-seon before coming?
I thought he'd be here.
Did Hong-a
I'll go inside first.
Did Hong-a say something to you?
No. But I'm quite surprised.
I never thought you'd change.
Neither did I.
And I'm still not sure.
But I just decided to give it a go
since I got swayed a little.
Before, I thought I needed to be
at least 80 percent sure to date someone.
But Su-jeong broke that concept for me.
You're uncertain about her,
but you're still seeing her?
Su-jeong would be upset to hear that.
That's why I'm trying my best.
In the end, hard work pays off.
I was at the hospital to see your parents.
I'm just coming from Good Soup.
We must've missed each other.
It seems that way.
I heard your mother's
getting discharged next week.
Yes, I think so.
I'll go see her until then.
You don't have to.
You've already done more than enough.
Did you know that
all that we've been doing is
check up on each other these days?
Mr. Park was the one
who arranged my mom's surgery.
I couldn't tell you
because I thought you might get upset.
Where did the straightforward
and outspoken Lee Hyeon-soo go?
I don't know.
I feel uneasy every time
I try to start a conversation with you.
Since when?
It's been a while.
I think it started when you rejected
my offer to live together.
It felt as if
you were pushing me away because of
your emotional scars and reality.
I was also worried that
I became less attractive
because I asked you to live with me.
-Hyeon-soo.
-I tried.
I kept trying.
But it feels like
there's a wall between us.
I thought you said you're sick of people.
You said that social media
was your friend.
You acted as if you were
never going to see me again.
Why are you following me to my interview?
I also need to gather information
about chefs.
Then you should ask Won-jun,
the sous-chef.
Is he not talking to you anymore
because of Su-jeong?
She can't come between our friendship.
He and I have been friends
for a long time.
That doesn't stop elderly couples
from getting a divorce.
You're being really annoying.
Yes. I learned this from you.
Have you tried going to
the new fine dining restaurant
that recently opened in Seocho-dong?
No, not yet.
Would you like to go with me?
Yes, I'd love to.
Okay, then.
Hello.
You're here.
Yes. Is Chef Min-ho inside?
He's probably in the kitchen.
I'm going to eat here.
-Gyeong, you should eat too.
-Okay.
Please reserve a table for us.
Okay.
Won-jun, I need to interview you.
We'll do it right here.
Okay.
Su-jeong, let's go home together
after work.
Okay.
Are you happy that you quit
being a doctor to become a chef?
If you hadn't quit, you would've actually
become a doctor by now.
I like cooking.
I heard your father's still angry
because of you.
Don't you feel any guilt?
He's been picking up my calls recently.
It's natural for a parent to do that.
That's not something to be happy about.
I'm grateful that I can be happy
over such little things.
Why do you keep talking back
to every word I say?
I thought this was an interview.
Should I not talk?
You can talk.
How much do you earn a month?
I earn 2.5 million won.
You earn that little?
How is that little?
That's just enough for me.
I'll earn more when I become a head chef
and even create my own dishes.
There's nothing grand
or special about fine dining.
Why do you want to do this so much?
What about you? What made you so eager
to become a scriptwriter?
-Won-jun.
-What?
Don't be like this.
I'm sorry.
It's true that I'm starting to show
interest in you because of Su-jeong.
But we can't start dating each other
because of that.
I never asked you to date me.
I'm telling you
not to go out with Su-jeong.
You don't have to go out with me either.
I would hesitate
even if you asked me to date you.
Won-jun.
Won-jun.
Mr. Park.
It's been a while, Mr. Yoo.
We should meet each other more often.
I'd love to. Please sit down.
Let's start with the good news.
I read Hyeon-soo's synopsis and script.
Things will only become definite
after we hand in a proposal.
But I like it.
Jun-ha's also very eager about it,
so I'm going to ask him to direct.
Thank you.
Where did the straightforward
and outspoken Lee Hyeon-soo go?
I don't know.
I feel uneasy every time I try
to start a conversation with you.
I did that because I care about you.
If you care about me,
give me what I want.
I feel uneasy every time I try
to start a conversation with you.
Since when?
I think it started when you rejected
my offer to live together.
3 DAYS LATER
SEOWOO HOSPITAL
I'll carry those.
I'll put these in the car.
I'll meet you in front of the hospital.
Come out after about ten minutes.
Thank you so much.
Don't mention it.
Why did you call him?
We could've just done it ourselves.
He insisted on coming. It's kind of him.
He is kind.
Didn't you get married to Dad
because he was kind?
That's because
things were different back then.
Let's go. He can't park the car for long
in front of the hospital.
Okay.
Hello?
You should come to the office by 5 p.m.
Hong-jin's going to confirm
if the drama's going to get aired or not.
-Hello.
-Hi, Hyeon-soo.
-Have you been doing well?
-Yes.
We came to a decision
after reading the drama proposal.
We decided to
produce your drama.
But it's not 100 percent confirmed yet.
Have plenty of discussions with Jun-ha.
I'll do my best.
I think you're really lucky
when it comes to work.
Mr. Park always steps in to help
when it comes to things that concern you.
There's even a rumor
that you two are going out.
It was Mr. Park
who brought Shin Ha-rim back
to the filming set.
Hyeon-soo. Did you hear the news?
Gosh, it's hot.
JEONG-SEON
LEE HYEON-SOO
Hello?
Jeong-seon, guess what happened today.
-This is heavy.
-What happened?
Gosh.
-I'm sorry.
-Sorry, Chef.
-It's okay.
-I'm sorry.
Kind Soup Never Answers His Phone
might get aired.
Sorry, I missed that. What's up?
Well,
I said Kind Soup Never Answers His Phone
might get broadcast.
That's great.
Yes, it is.
What are you doing today?
I have to work.
Then I'll come see you later.
Okay.
Hyeon-soo.
Let's do this!
I don't think we should
head straight home tonight.
We need to celebrate together.
-Together?
-Yes, together.
Raise your glasses.
Get up, everyone.
When I say "Kind Soup," you say
"Let's make a killing."
Kind Soup!
-Let's make a killing!
-Let's make a killing!
You said it yourselves that
we can do this on our own.
As you can see,
we put our words into action.
Hold it upright.
You know your stuff, don't you?
What about me?
-You can just stand there.
-All right, then.
-Shall we take a group picture?
-That sounds great.
-Okay.
-You come here.
Okay.
-Yes.
-One, two, three.
Let's get this done with.
Two, three.
Cheers.
Mr. Park, I think
you're perfectly suited for autumn.
You're sentimental and--
Ms. Hwangbo,
you're really great at sucking up.
-You like everyone but me, don't you?
-That's right.
By the way, why isn't anyone singing?
Let's sing together.
No. I don't want to.
I don't like to be forced into
doing anything.
Suit yourself.
Wait a minute.
Things are slowly getting better.
Thank you so much, everyone.
-Good!
-Soup!
Why do you always smile?
You don't look well.
I can tell how you're feeling
just by looking at you.
Chef.
Hello, Ms. Hwangbo.
Did you two have a drink together?
We had a party.
To celebrate getting a TV slot.
It's not confirmed yet.
It's pretty much confirmed, Hyeon-soo.
Director Kim said he'd do it.
It's cold out here. Let's go inside.
You look like you had a drink, too.
Yes, with Good Soup staff
because of the website renewal.
I see. You two should go upstairs first.
Where are you going?
Well I have to go somewhere.
Don't go.
I feel sorry.
I know. I feel sorry, too.
She didn't have to leave.
Why did you want to see me?
You treated me like a ghost earlier.
Because I can't go home.
You're asking to spend the night with me?
But I'm not ready yet.
This is why
-I can't like you.
-I was just kidding.
Sit down. Come on.
-What do you want to drink?
-Soda.
You got it!
-Congratulations.
-Thanks.
It'll go well this time.
Yes.
Did I do something wrong?
No.
You never do anything wrong.
I want you to, though.
Then you'd cling to me
and tell me you're sorry.
Is it because of me
that you are unhappy?
If I'm unhappy,
it's because of me, not you.
If unhappiness is what I choose,
I think of that as happiness.
I'm trying to do everything I can for you.
I'm trying to take time out of
my busy schedule so I can be good to you.
I never asked you to do that.
You must be drunk.
I am.
The frustration is killing me.
Why?
Why?
Why do I feel so lonely when I'm in love?
I'm lonelier when I'm with you.
You left me out of your life--
Mom borrowed money from Jeong-u
without telling me.
Would you want to share such a story
if you were me?
I'm doing everything I can
to keep this love.
Then why do I feel like you don't love me?
I feel like you're just trying
to fulfill your duty as a lover.
You must feel that way
because that's what you do.
It's either we fight or say
encouraging words out of formality.
We're so careful around each other
that we can't talk about how we feel.
What kind of love is this?
What do you want me to do?
Is Chef On upstairs?
Yes.
Let's go up.
You can go alone. I feel uncomfortable.
All right.
Can you give me a cup of tea?
Of course.
This way.
Jeong-seon, come here.
You should have it while it's hot.
I assume you're depressed these days,
so I'm trying to do my best.
You loved this as a child.
My beef cutlet.
You must think
you were a good mother back then.
Whenever you caused trouble,
you always made my favorite food
from when I was a child.
I don't want to think about that time,
but I'm doing it for you.
Seeing your father do well
with his new wife got me thinking that
he and I were just a bad match.
I hope Daniel is my last man.
Do you really want to
talk about this with me?
I do.
You're more than just my son to me.
By the way,
about what you said before
How much will you give me a month?
A million won.
Don't give it to me in small amounts.
You have some land.
Can't you give me a portion of it?
I have nothing to give. It's gone.
Did you sell it?
Why are you and Dad
so interested in that land?
Dad asked me about it, too.
He has a building.
Why does he care about the land?
He's not interested in the same way
you are, so don't mind him.
Are you protecting him
because he's your dad?
Although he and I didn't get along,
he loved you.
He hit me, but he never laid
a finger on you.
Why aren't you eating?
How can I eat when I've lost my appetite?
I should talk to your dad.
You'll be my excuse.
Mom.
You should get along with him.
He owns a building.
You're his only son.
-Mom.
-Yes.
You're as beautiful as a flower.
Thank you.
Didn't you go to school?
No, I took the year off
to stay with your mom.
I took time off during the surgery,
and I'm taking it off again.
You two will get sick of each other.
I should send you two on a trip.
-Really?
-Yes.
You mentioned Japan before.
KYOTO, JAPAN
KYOTO
Here.
BEST ITEMS
REVIEWS
That would be nice,
but I should say my thanks to
the people who've been kind to me
before we go.
Is Mr. Park here?
Why didn't you make an appointment?
Because I'm mad.
What the heck is going on?
I thought you and I were like comrades.
-Was I wrong?
-What got you so mad?
Hyeon-soo's drama is getting aired.
What about mine?
You told me my drama was great.
Your drama will air on JK.
Why are you telling me that now?
I was about to, then you came.
Yes!
HYEON-SOO'S MOTHER
Hello?
Hello, Mr. Park. It's Hyeon-soo's mother.
Yes, hello.
I got discharged.
I just wanted to call and say thank you.
I didn't do much.
I'll put my husband on the phone.
Mr. Park.
Of course, we should thank you.
The two of us would like to
invite you to dinner.
Could you tell me the time and place
once it's decided?
Okay. Bye now.
Who was that?
Who do you want to cast?
Was it Hyeon-soo's parents?
Did they invite you to dinner?
Hyeon-soo, we're going to eat
with Mr. Park.
Look into a restaurant.
What?
It's all thanks to him
that your mom has recovered.
All right.
I'll make a reservation for three.
Why three? It should be four.
It would be awkward for us
if you don't go.
What is it? Are you worried
that your boyfriend will be mad?
No.
He shouldn't be mad.
It's a thank-you meal prepared by us.
Why would he be mad?
We'll thank Chef On, too.
Don't worry.
Okay.
Why do I feel so lonely when I'm in love?
I'm lonelier when I'm with you.
You're still here?
I'm still doing the calculations.
Did you call Hyeon-soo?
-I can't.
-You have to.
You have to make up right away
whenever you fight.
My father is coming.
You dealing with both parents
on the same day
It's like they're tied to
an unbreakable bond.
I don't know why
I find it hard to tell Hyeon-soo
about my personal problems,
yet it's not like that with you.
When you're in love,
you want to look good in front of them.
You only want to give them what's best
and take the burden all on your own.
You sure know a lot.
I'll just add that your relationship
is very healthy.
Hey. I'm finally here.
I told you not to.
Weren't you waiting for me?
Has Su-jeong gone?
Aren't you going on a date tonight?
Have fun.
Hey. My drama is going to air on JK.
That's great.
Is that all?
Yes.
Let me ask you this in all seriousness.
Do you really like Su-jeong?
What is that silence supposed to mean?
Silence usually means yes or no.
What do you suppose it could be right now?
Won-jun, what's making you say
such a bizarre thing?
I really loved you.
But after we broke up,
I began to act like you.
It became a habit.
I have to close. Let's go.
Are you really going to give up on me?
Yes.
I'm trying to do everything I can for you.
What kind of love is this?
Did I give up everything for this?
Gosh.
Don't be like that. Just call him.
I don't want to.
You were so in love with him
just a while ago.
You must love him just as much now.
-Is that what it looks like to you?
-Yes.
Because you stood right here
when you were madly in love with him.
There was traffic.
I told you I could visit you
on my day off.
Every minute counts.
Thinking about the interest bothers me.
Pay back your loan with this.
You can't make it big
if you have debt in your early life.
I'll take care of it. I can handle it.
You're letting your ego get in the way.
Kids without fathers
behave just like that.
-Father.
-I knew your mom would ruin you.
Take the money while you can.
All you have is that land.
You'll end up coming to me, anyway.
I won't.
I've lived well without you all this time.
So don't barge into my life like this.
What did I do so wrong to you?
I did everything I could.
Why did you never call me
when I was in Paris? I was only 16.
That's because
I had a complicated life then.
And one thing you threw away
during that time was your own son.
Just be like how you've always been.
Don't try to act like a father now.
I still
I never hit you when I raised you.
Do you know how often I was beaten up
when I was young?
I was beaten for no reason.
You didn't hit me so that you could prove
that you're different from Grandpa.
You hit Mom instead.
Do you have any idea
how you've ruined her life?
You little
It felt as if
you were pushing me away because of
your emotional scars and reality.
Then why do I feel like you don't love me?
I feel like you're just trying
to fulfill your duty as a lover.
Are you heading out already?
Yes. My parents want me there early.
I see. They could feel awkward
being alone with Mr. Park.
I guess so. I should be nice
since Mom's sick.
-I'll get going.
-Okay.
Hello.
Hello. I haven't seen you
since the surgery.
You look well.
I'm glad.
-It's thanks to you.
-Please
-have a seat.
-Thank you.
Since we're treating you,
-I hope you'll enjoy it.
-Thank you.
Hyeon-soo is the odd one in our family.
We all prefer a stable life, but not her.
That's not true.
Right.
Did your parents run a business, too?
Yes.
My father had a big business,
but he went bankrupt.
I see
By the way,
there's something that
I've wanted to ask you.
Sure, go ahead.
Are you this nice to all of your writers?
Even to their families?
Not necessarily.
Really?
Then are you especially nice to Hyeon-soo?
Yes.
I
like Hyeon-soo.
I think the schedule will get moved up.
Hyeon-soo, can you do it?
Why is Hyeon-soo's drama
getting produced before mine?
It'd better not get pushed back.
He is opening up
a new restaurant in Hong Kong.
I recommended you as the head chef.
I'm so happy that
things are going well for you.
-Let's move in together.
-I'm no longer confident about us.
Mr. Park, this is your chance.
Is it really over
between you and Hyeon-soo?
-You called, right?
-Can we meet?
-I'm sorry.
-I'll wait until you come.

SEOWOO HOSPITAL
Come in.
PARK MI-NA
Mr. Park.
-Hello.
-Are you here?
Welcome.
I came to visit.
Is it okay that I'm here?
Of course, we're happy to see you.
Yes. We're very fond of you, Mr. Park.
I've been waiting.
When will you let me into your life?
Do you think
it's just fun and games for me?
Why do you only think about yourself?
I don't only think about myself.
SEOWOO HOSPITAL
I made this because I thought
you wouldn't have time to eat.
Why are you giving it to me now?
You should come inside.
Not today.
You should go in
and have it with your family.
I'm grateful for the lunch box,
but I'd like it better if you could
come inside and greet my dad.
I have some things to think about.
I'm sorry.
Thanks.
You should eat something, sir.
I don't have any appetite.
Dad. You still have to eat.
The surgery will take five hours.
Your mom is suffering so much.
How could I eat?
You and Mom are one.
Mom will be able to recover quickly
only if you stay strong.
I brought food.
Jeong-seon made lunch boxes for us.
That's great. I didn't feel like
eating out today.
Then I'll get going now.
Mr. Park. You should eat with us.
You didn't even have breakfast.
Is she in a VIP room?
It's going to cost a fortune.
You should've told me
that she got scheduled for surgery.
I'm sorry.
It's delicious.
Dad, try this.
Thanks.
Do you want some water, Dad?
Yes.
Would you like some too, Mr. Park?
Yes, please.
You're lucky that your boyfriend's a chef.
He probably cooks these for you often.
I'm sick of the same food.
Someone's green with envy.
I don't want to be the jealous one here.
So I'll take that back.
I feel better now that
I'm eating some food.
I agree.
I thought I was going to die
from suffocation.
Hey, eat yours!
Are you fighting again?
At least it helps liven up the mood.
What do you like?
Something warm.
Warm is nice.
I like that,
but I also like seafood.
-It's filling.
-Seafood is delicious, too.
You guys seem close these days.
It's not like that.
Then go out with me.
-You've gone nuts, haven't you?
-No.
-No. I haven't.
-Stop fooling around.
About the men
Su-jeong wasn't sure about
The men who didn't finish their dish?
What about them?
What if they were from Michelin?
Then we wouldn't be awarded a star, right?
Probably not.
We screwed up the sauce.
Then our restaurant will keep going under.
You can go down with it.
Once the Michelin result is out
in November,
I'm leaving.
You have no sense of loyalty.
You don't have the right to say that
when all you care about is money.
Hey.
"Hey"?
Who said you can address me like that?
Stop it. He's just a kid.
I'm not a kid.
You're sitting here like a little girl.
Stop talking nonsense.
I'll sit with you.
This reminds me of my childhood.
Why are you doing this?
I said that I would ride the bus,
but you insisted on coming with me.
Then you were late!
You can sit here alone and think about
your childhood all you want.
Well, I
Why are you doing this to me?
Why are you talking down to me?
So, what do you think about, you know
What are you talking about?
I've been sending you enough signs,
but why are you ignoring them?
What else would it be?
It means I'm not interested.
Fine.
Do you hate me, or do you hate dating?
Both.
I've never worked this hard before
to try to date someone who wears glasses,
and is not my type.
This is a first for me.
I've never had a man
who's made a move on me.
So let me enjoy this kind of thing
a little more.
Gyeong.
Isn't this for Hyeon-soo's mom?
That's right.
You want me to carry this?
Is this so hard for you
to carry by yourself?
No. I said that because I just wanted to
keep the conversation going.
I bought it for you, Gyeong.
Well
You kind of look like that bear.
Gyeong.
-Ms. Hwangbo.
-What?
Let's walk together.
It was delicious.
Thanks to you, my dad was able to eat.
We have three lunch reservations
for ten people,
and three dinner reservations
for eight people.
That's one more table
compared to yesterday.
Mr. Park.
Are you here for a meeting?
Yes. Can't you change the director?
Why are you doing this again?
I can't help the urge to badger you
whenever I see you.
I see that you took care of
the hospital issue Hyeon-soo had.
Because it was something
I could take care of.
Which you got to know about thanks to me.
I'm still rooting for you and Hyeon-soo.
I want Jeong-seon to grow old alone.
You seem to hold a lot of grudges
against him.
I'm definitely not a fan of his.
He never settles for anything average.
It's either all or nothing.
That's what I liked him for.
If you want to make the woman
of the person you like yours,
you shouldn't have that mindset.
You have to know your enemy
as well as yourself in order to win.
Then win. That's all I care about.
Go have a meeting with Director Min now.
Your work is On Entertainment's
highly anticipated drama.
Mine should be the only anticipated drama.
Yes.
Mr. Park. Ms. Lee's mother
is still in surgery.
It's taking longer than scheduled.
All right.
I heard Hyeon-soo's mother had surgery.
How did you find out about that?
Won-jun told me on my way in.
I feel so bad for her.
She's still so young.
Hyeon-soo must be very upset.
You should be grateful that
you don't need to worry about my health.
Are you not mad at me anymore?
This is for you.
It's because you wash your hands
ever so frequently.
It's something I already had.
I didn't buy it.
It's what I've been using, but I
brought it for you. It's really nice.
I'm trying my best.
You might not be able to tell
a difference,
but I'm really doing my best.
Did you eat?
Yes, I ate.
Mr. Park.
Her surgery ended well,
so you don't need to worry.
Thank you.
Can I meet her?
Don't be too startled.
Welcome.
Hello.
I'm glad you're here.
Thank you for the delicious breakfast.
I wanted to see you
before you had your surgery,
but I couldn't because you were sleeping.
It's okay.
I made some food
that's good to eat after surgery.
My goodness. Thank you.
We owe you a debt of gratitude.
I'm glad I can do this for you.
You don't owe me anything.
Thank you.
What brings you here
in the middle of work?
Why aren't you at the hospital?
I was there just a while ago.
By the way, Chef On came too,
with a lot of food.
I'm thinking about learning how to cook.
I think Ms. Hwangbo has a thing
for men who can cook.
Why are you being such a fool?
You only ended up benefiting Chef On.
The love you have for her
is just too heart-wrenching.
Give me the drama proposal
before your meeting.
Hyeon-soo didn't give it to me yet.
I'll tell her to give it to you.
It's hard, isn't it?
Her surgery went well,
so I just hope she recovers quickly.
I want to be of help.
The fact that you're beside me
is enough to make me feel better.
How long is she going to be
hospitalized for?
About a week.
I'll keep cooking for her,
so don't worry about that.
I'm benefiting a lot
from having a boyfriend who's a chef.
Hello. Did you come to check up on her?
Yes.
I had to check up on her because
Mr. Park pleaded with me to do so.
I see.
Some people might think
he's her son-in-law.
He even came to see me earlier
after her surgery.
-I'll go now.
-Thank you.
My gosh, I fell asleep.
You should sleep, Dad.
Mr. Park is our family's savior.
Since your mom's sleeping,
I should get some sleep too.
Lie down.
Okay. Thank you.
A FEW DAYS LATER
Hello.
-Is Mr. Park inside?
-Yes.
Hello.
This is very unexpected.
You rarely come to visit.
I'm not that heartless.
I never said you were.
Thank you for looking after my mom.
We still have trust for each other.
And who's the one
who took that trust very lightly?
I wouldn't have come here
if I had taken it lightly.
I always tell you
that I'm thankful and I'm sorry.
I thought I'd never have to say that
to you again, but here I am.
You think it's only you who's been
receiving things from me, don't you?
But you're wrong.
I've received a lot more from you.
I'll go now.
My mom's moving to another hospital room.
It was my parents' suggestion.
I read your script. I'll send it
to the broadcasting company.
Okay.
Oh, hello.
Hello.
Hyeon-soo's not here right now.
Didn't you call her before you came?
I thought she'd be here.
I need to hurry back, anyway.
I was able to come during break hours.
What is
Thank you for everything.
It's nothing.
I feel uncomfortable with Chef On
coming here too often.
What's there to be uncomfortable about?
He's not even our son-in-law.
Try talking to him
so that he won't get offended.
What should I tell him?
Tell him that
he doesn't need to come here.
They're still young. You never know
what will happen between them.
What if he gets upset?
He's been so kind to us.
Thank you.
-These mandarins are delicious.
-Thank you.
Thank you for making time to visit
when you're busy.
There's no need for you
to feel uncomfortable.
Mr. Park, you have an appointment
with Mr. Yoo at 7 p.m.
Hyeon-soo.
Hey.
-Hello.
-Hi.
Are you guys seeing each other?
We agreed to try it for a month.
I guess you like things
to be clear in relationships.
Yes.
Didn't you call Jeong-seon before coming?
I thought he'd be here.
Did Hong-a
I'll go inside first.
Did Hong-a say something to you?
No. But I'm quite surprised.
I never thought you'd change.
Neither did I.
And I'm still not sure.
But I just decided to give it a go
since I got swayed a little.
Before, I thought I needed to be
at least 80 percent sure to date someone.
But Su-jeong broke that concept for me.
You're uncertain about her,
but you're still seeing her?
Su-jeong would be upset to hear that.
That's why I'm trying my best.
In the end, hard work pays off.
I was at the hospital to see your parents.
I'm just coming from Good Soup.
We must've missed each other.
It seems that way.
I heard your mother's
getting discharged next week.
Yes, I think so.
I'll go see her until then.
You don't have to.
You've already done more than enough.
Did you know that
all that we've been doing is
check up on each other these days?
Mr. Park was the one
who arranged my mom's surgery.
I couldn't tell you
because I thought you might get upset.
Where did the straightforward
and outspoken Lee Hyeon-soo go?
I don't know.
I feel uneasy every time
I try to start a conversation with you.
Since when?
It's been a while.
I think it started when you rejected
my offer to live together.
It felt as if
you were pushing me away because of
your emotional scars and reality.
I was also worried that
I became less attractive
because I asked you to live with me.
-Hyeon-soo.
-I tried.
I kept trying.
But it feels like
there's a wall between us.
I thought you said you're sick of people.
You said that social media
was your friend.
You acted as if you were
never going to see me again.
Why are you following me to my interview?
I also need to gather information
about chefs.
Then you should ask Won-jun,
the sous-chef.
Is he not talking to you anymore
because of Su-jeong?
She can't come between our friendship.
He and I have been friends
for a long time.
That doesn't stop elderly couples
from getting a divorce.
You're being really annoying.
Yes. I learned this from you.
Have you tried going to
the new fine dining restaurant
that recently opened in Seocho-dong?
No, not yet.
Would you like to go with me?
Yes, I'd love to.
Okay, then.
Hello.
You're here.
Yes. Is Chef Min-ho inside?
He's probably in the kitchen.
I'm going to eat here.
-Gyeong, you should eat too.
-Okay.
Please reserve a table for us.
Okay.
Won-jun, I need to interview you.
We'll do it right here.
Okay.
Su-jeong, let's go home together
after work.
Okay.
Are you happy that you quit
being a doctor to become a chef?
If you hadn't quit, you would've actually
become a doctor by now.
I like cooking.
I heard your father's still angry
because of you.
Don't you feel any guilt?
He's been picking up my calls recently.
It's natural for a parent to do that.
That's not something to be happy about.
I'm grateful that I can be happy
over such little things.
Why do you keep talking back
to every word I say?
I thought this was an interview.
Should I not talk?
You can talk.
How much do you earn a month?
I earn 2.5 million won.
You earn that little?
How is that little?
That's just enough for me.
I'll earn more when I become a head chef
and even create my own dishes.
There's nothing grand
or special about fine dining.
Why do you want to do this so much?
What about you? What made you so eager
to become a scriptwriter?
-Won-jun.
-What?
Don't be like this.
I'm sorry.
It's true that I'm starting to show
interest in you because of Su-jeong.
But we can't start dating each other
because of that.
I never asked you to date me.
I'm telling you
not to go out with Su-jeong.
You don't have to go out with me either.
I would hesitate
even if you asked me to date you.
Won-jun.
Won-jun.
Mr. Park.
It's been a while, Mr. Yoo.
We should meet each other more often.
I'd love to. Please sit down.
Let's start with the good news.
I read Hyeon-soo's synopsis and script.
Things will only become definite
after we hand in a proposal.
But I like it.
Jun-ha's also very eager about it,
so I'm going to ask him to direct.
Thank you.
Where did the straightforward
and outspoken Lee Hyeon-soo go?
I don't know.
I feel uneasy every time I try
to start a conversation with you.
I did that because I care about you.
If you care about me,
give me what I want.
I feel uneasy every time I try
to start a conversation with you.
Since when?
I think it started when you rejected
my offer to live together.
3 DAYS LATER
SEOWOO HOSPITAL
I'll carry those.
I'll put these in the car.
I'll meet you in front of the hospital.
Come out after about ten minutes.
Thank you so much.
Don't mention it.
Why did you call him?
We could've just done it ourselves.
He insisted on coming. It's kind of him.
He is kind.
Didn't you get married to Dad
because he was kind?
That's because
things were different back then.
Let's go. He can't park the car for long
in front of the hospital.
Okay.
Hello?
You should come to the office by 5 p.m.
Hong-jin's going to confirm
if the drama's going to get aired or not.
-Hello.
-Hi, Hyeon-soo.
-Have you been doing well?
-Yes.
We came to a decision
after reading the drama proposal.
We decided to
produce your drama.
But it's not 100 percent confirmed yet.
Have plenty of discussions with Jun-ha.
I'll do my best.
I think you're really lucky
when it comes to work.
Mr. Park always steps in to help
when it comes to things that concern you.
There's even a rumor
that you two are going out.
It was Mr. Park
who brought Shin Ha-rim back
to the filming set.
Hyeon-soo. Did you hear the news?
Gosh, it's hot.
JEONG-SEON
LEE HYEON-SOO
Hello?
Jeong-seon, guess what happened today.
-This is heavy.
-What happened?
Gosh.
-I'm sorry.
-Sorry, Chef.
-It's okay.
-I'm sorry.
Kind Soup Never Answers His Phone
might get aired.
Sorry, I missed that. What's up?
Well,
I said Kind Soup Never Answers His Phone
might get broadcast.
That's great.
Yes, it is.
What are you doing today?
I have to work.
Then I'll come see you later.
Okay.
Hyeon-soo.
Let's do this!
I don't think we should
head straight home tonight.
We need to celebrate together.
-Together?
-Yes, together.
Raise your glasses.
Get up, everyone.
When I say "Kind Soup," you say
"Let's make a killing."
Kind Soup!
-Let's make a killing!
-Let's make a killing!
You said it yourselves that
we can do this on our own.
As you can see,
we put our words into action.
Hold it upright.
You know your stuff, don't you?
What about me?
-You can just stand there.
-All right, then.
-Shall we take a group picture?
-That sounds great.
-Okay.
-You come here.
Okay.
-Yes.
-One, two, three.
Let's get this done with.
Two, three.
Cheers.
Mr. Park, I think
you're perfectly suited for autumn.
You're sentimental and--
Ms. Hwangbo,
you're really great at sucking up.
-You like everyone but me, don't you?
-That's right.
By the way, why isn't anyone singing?
Let's sing together.
No. I don't want to.
I don't like to be forced into
doing anything.
Suit yourself.
Wait a minute.
Things are slowly getting better.
Thank you so much, everyone.
-Good!
-Soup!
Why do you always smile?
You don't look well.
I can tell how you're feeling
just by looking at you.
Chef.
Hello, Ms. Hwangbo.
Did you two have a drink together?
We had a party.
To celebrate getting a TV slot.
It's not confirmed yet.
It's pretty much confirmed, Hyeon-soo.
Director Kim said he'd do it.
It's cold out here. Let's go inside.
You look like you had a drink, too.
Yes, with Good Soup staff
because of the website renewal.
I see. You two should go upstairs first.
Where are you going?
Well I have to go somewhere.
Don't go.
I feel sorry.
I know. I feel sorry, too.
She didn't have to leave.
Why did you want to see me?
You treated me like a ghost earlier.
Because I can't go home.
You're asking to spend the night with me?
But I'm not ready yet.
This is why
-I can't like you.
-I was just kidding.
Sit down. Come on.
-What do you want to drink?
-Soda.
You got it!
-Congratulations.
-Thanks.
It'll go well this time.
Yes.
Did I do something wrong?
No.
You never do anything wrong.
I want you to, though.
Then you'd cling to me
and tell me you're sorry.
Is it because of me
that you are unhappy?
If I'm unhappy,
it's because of me, not you.
If unhappiness is what I choose,
I think of that as happiness.
I'm trying to do everything I can for you.
I'm trying to take time out of
my busy schedule so I can be good to you.
I never asked you to do that.
You must be drunk.
I am.
The frustration is killing me.
Why?
Why?
Why do I feel so lonely when I'm in love?
I'm lonelier when I'm with you.
You left me out of your life--
Mom borrowed money from Jeong-u
without telling me.
Would you want to share such a story
if you were me?
I'm doing everything I can
to keep this love.
Then why do I feel like you don't love me?
I feel like you're just trying
to fulfill your duty as a lover.
You must feel that way
because that's what you do.
It's either we fight or say
encouraging words out of formality.
We're so careful around each other
that we can't talk about how we feel.
What kind of love is this?
What do you want me to do?
Is Chef On upstairs?
Yes.
Let's go up.
You can go alone. I feel uncomfortable.
All right.
Can you give me a cup of tea?
Of course.
This way.
Jeong-seon, come here.
You should have it while it's hot.
I assume you're depressed these days,
so I'm trying to do my best.
You loved this as a child.
My beef cutlet.
You must think
you were a good mother back then.
Whenever you caused trouble,
you always made my favorite food
from when I was a child.
I don't want to think about that time,
but I'm doing it for you.
Seeing your father do well
with his new wife got me thinking that
he and I were just a bad match.
I hope Daniel is my last man.
Do you really want to
talk about this with me?
I do.
You're more than just my son to me.
By the way,
about what you said before
How much will you give me a month?
A million won.
Don't give it to me in small amounts.
You have some land.
Can't you give me a portion of it?
I have nothing to give. It's gone.
Did you sell it?
Why are you and Dad
so interested in that land?
Dad asked me about it, too.
He has a building.
Why does he care about the land?
He's not interested in the same way
you are, so don't mind him.
Are you protecting him
because he's your dad?
Although he and I didn't get along,
he loved you.
He hit me, but he never laid
a finger on you.
Why aren't you eating?
How can I eat when I've lost my appetite?
I should talk to your dad.
You'll be my excuse.
Mom.
You should get along with him.
He owns a building.
You're his only son.
-Mom.
-Yes.
You're as beautiful as a flower.
Thank you.
Didn't you go to school?
No, I took the year off
to stay with your mom.
I took time off during the surgery,
and I'm taking it off again.
You two will get sick of each other.
I should send you two on a trip.
-Really?
-Yes.
You mentioned Japan before.
KYOTO, JAPAN
KYOTO
Here.
BEST ITEMS
REVIEWS
That would be nice,
but I should say my thanks to
the people who've been kind to me
before we go.
Is Mr. Park here?
Why didn't you make an appointment?
Because I'm mad.
What the heck is going on?
I thought you and I were like comrades.
-Was I wrong?
-What got you so mad?
Hyeon-soo's drama is getting aired.
What about mine?
You told me my drama was great.
Your drama will air on JK.
Why are you telling me that now?
I was about to, then you came.
Yes!
HYEON-SOO'S MOTHER
Hello?
Hello, Mr. Park. It's Hyeon-soo's mother.
Yes, hello.
I got discharged.
I just wanted to call and say thank you.
I didn't do much.
I'll put my husband on the phone.
Mr. Park.
Of course, we should thank you.
The two of us would like to
invite you to dinner.
Could you tell me the time and place
once it's decided?
Okay. Bye now.
Who was that?
Who do you want to cast?
Was it Hyeon-soo's parents?
Did they invite you to dinner?
Hyeon-soo, we're going to eat
with Mr. Park.
Look into a restaurant.
What?
It's all thanks to him
that your mom has recovered.
All right.
I'll make a reservation for three.
Why three? It should be four.
It would be awkward for us
if you don't go.
What is it? Are you worried
that your boyfriend will be mad?
No.
He shouldn't be mad.
It's a thank-you meal prepared by us.
Why would he be mad?
We'll thank Chef On, too.
Don't worry.
Okay.
Why do I feel so lonely when I'm in love?
I'm lonelier when I'm with you.
You're still here?
I'm still doing the calculations.
Did you call Hyeon-soo?
-I can't.
-You have to.
You have to make up right away
whenever you fight.
My father is coming.
You dealing with both parents
on the same day
It's like they're tied to
an unbreakable bond.
I don't know why
I find it hard to tell Hyeon-soo
about my personal problems,
yet it's not like that with you.
When you're in love,
you want to look good in front of them.
You only want to give them what's best
and take the burden all on your own.
You sure know a lot.
I'll just add that your relationship
is very healthy.
Hey. I'm finally here.
I told you not to.
Weren't you waiting for me?
Has Su-jeong gone?
Aren't you going on a date tonight?
Have fun.
Hey. My drama is going to air on JK.
That's great.
Is that all?
Yes.
Let me ask you this in all seriousness.
Do you really like Su-jeong?
What is that silence supposed to mean?
Silence usually means yes or no.
What do you suppose it could be right now?
Won-jun, what's making you say
such a bizarre thing?
I really loved you.
But after we broke up,
I began to act like you.
It became a habit.
I have to close. Let's go.
Are you really going to give up on me?
Yes.
I'm trying to do everything I can for you.
What kind of love is this?
Did I give up everything for this?
Gosh.
Don't be like that. Just call him.
I don't want to.
You were so in love with him
just a while ago.
You must love him just as much now.
-Is that what it looks like to you?
-Yes.
Because you stood right here
when you were madly in love with him.
There was traffic.
I told you I could visit you
on my day off.
Every minute counts.
Thinking about the interest bothers me.
Pay back your loan with this.
You can't make it big
if you have debt in your early life.
I'll take care of it. I can handle it.
You're letting your ego get in the way.
Kids without fathers
behave just like that.
-Father.
-I knew your mom would ruin you.
Take the money while you can.
All you have is that land.
You'll end up coming to me, anyway.
I won't.
I've lived well without you all this time.
So don't barge into my life like this.
What did I do so wrong to you?
I did everything I could.
Why did you never call me
when I was in Paris? I was only 16.
That's because
I had a complicated life then.
And one thing you threw away
during that time was your own son.
Just be like how you've always been.
Don't try to act like a father now.
I still
I never hit you when I raised you.
Do you know how often I was beaten up
when I was young?
I was beaten for no reason.
You didn't hit me so that you could prove
that you're different from Grandpa.
You hit Mom instead.
Do you have any idea
how you've ruined her life?
You little
It felt as if
you were pushing me away because of
your emotional scars and reality.
Then why do I feel like you don't love me?
I feel like you're just trying
to fulfill your duty as a lover.
Are you heading out already?
Yes. My parents want me there early.
I see. They could feel awkward
being alone with Mr. Park.
I guess so. I should be nice
since Mom's sick.
-I'll get going.
-Okay.
Hello.
Hello. I haven't seen you
since the surgery.
You look well.
I'm glad.
-It's thanks to you.
-Please
-have a seat.
-Thank you.
Since we're treating you,
-I hope you'll enjoy it.
-Thank you.
Hyeon-soo is the odd one in our family.
We all prefer a stable life, but not her.
That's not true.
Right.
Did your parents run a business, too?
Yes.
My father had a big business,
but he went bankrupt.
I see
By the way,
there's something that
I've wanted to ask you.
Sure, go ahead.
Are you this nice to all of your writers?
Even to their families?
Not necessarily.
Really?
Then are you especially nice to Hyeon-soo?
Yes.
I
like Hyeon-soo.
I think the schedule will get moved up.
Hyeon-soo, can you do it?
Why is Hyeon-soo's drama
getting produced before mine?
It'd better not get pushed back.
He is opening up
a new restaurant in Hong Kong.
I recommended you as the head chef.
I'm so happy that
things are going well for you.
-Let's move in together.
-I'm no longer confident about us.
Mr. Park, this is your chance.
Is it really over
between you and Hyeon-soo?
-You called, right?
-Can we meet?
-I'm sorry.
-I'll wait until you come.
