~ Episode 18 ~

PD Kim - "Star's Favorite Dish"

Yes, PD Kim.

CEO Park, I was told Chef On Jeong Seon contacted us saying he wouldn't appear on the show.

Isn't this a complete change from the situation before?

Only a short while ago you were begging me to have him on the show.

I will look into it.

Have him come on the show, at least this next one.

I made a dinner appointment for 6PM at the Good Soup for you and CP Yu Hong Jin.

Contact Writer Ji Hong Ah and tell her to come if she is free. Director Min Yi Bok too.

Have we met before? I feel like I've seen you before.

Yes, we met in Yeonnam-dong five years ago.

You drank Kenya Double A.

You have good memory.

Can I speak freely?

You seem a lot older than my son.

How much older are you?

I'm not a lot older.

I'm six years older.

It's only by six years?

Well, if it's only six years, then...

After I separated with Jeong Seon's dad, I think I've only dated younger men.

Once you've been with younger men, you can't be with older men.

No matter what, men, young or old, are like children.

It's better to be amiable to younger men.

Yes...

What is your job?

I'm a drama writer. I'm in the middle of preparing for a project right now.

When it's not on air, I'm practically unemployed.

Glad to see you're not bragging.

Were you in contact with my son while he was in France?

No, we met again not long ago, after he returned.

That's right. I would have known if you two were seeing each other.

What do your parents do?

They are both elementary school teachers.

That's nice.

I think they must be like elementary school kids, full of innocence.

Yes, they are pure and innocent.

Let's get along in the future. And exchange phone numbers.

I should be going now.

I'll be going too.

There's someone you have to meet before you go. My fiancé.

Oh, miss Su Jeong, another glass please.

Yes, sir.

Professor Min.

This is Chef On's girlfriend.

Hello.

Oh really? When did that happen? The last time I checked he didn't have one.

Since a while back, they've had a platonic love.

- She is a drama script writer. - Oh, a writer?

I'm a writer too.

I'm unemployed at the moment.

She is so humble. It's not good to be so humble.

She is older than Chef On, but their age gap isn't as big as ours.

I like that she is older than him.

I just knew there was something similar between him and me.

Sit down, let's eat together.

No, thank you. I still have stuff to do.

I'll get going then, Mother*.(In Korea, that's what they call a mother-in-law)

Mother?

Oh my. Hearing that word is bewildering.

Shall I not call you that?

No, it's not that I don't like it.

See you later then.

Goodbye.

CEO Park.

Hello, where are you going?

Home.

Let's walk together.

♫ The days I thought we were meant to be ♫

♫ It seems they have to end as if mocking me ♫

♫ Between films that have been cut off ♫

Is she even real? I've never seen you dating a woman.

Just be ready to meet your sister-in-law.

I'm looking forward to it.

♫ The days which are dark ♫

♫ How many seasons have to pass ♫

Go in.

CEO Park.

I have something to say.

One: a personal matter. Two: a work-related matter.

Number one.

Don't say it.

I'm leaving.

♫ It's everything where you can go ♫

♫ The one-sided love ♫

♫ If it's not for tomorrow ♫

♫ Before my tears dry out ♫

♫ Will you come and be at my side? ♫

I've been thinking for the last ten years that if I was to establish a company, I would name it On.

That very moment when I heard the name On Jeong Seon, I said, "I can't beat this guy."

What are you thinking about?

- About you. - Oh stop it.

I heard that you told them you wouldn't go on the show today.

The PD called me.

Did you get in trouble?

A little.

I'm the one who made the request for you to be on the show.

I heard Good Soup was turned upside down because of a customer with an allergy.

Wow, there's nothing you don't know.

Yes, now I know it all. Everything.

Continue with the TV show.

I thought about it on the way back after driving the customer with an allergy to the emergency room earlier today.

This isn't right.

This is not the right way to handle things.

- Still, you should do it at least one more time. - No, I don't want to anymore.

It's too early to relax. Diners are not coming to the restaurant for your food.

That's why I am saying I won't do it. I should take it slow.

I just need to hold on to the customers who come to my restaurant.

In the end you'll do everything your way, no matter what I say.

Then why do you need me?

You're the owner chef of Good Soup, but don't forget that I have the power to remove you from that position too.

I won't forget.

That's why I am negotiating with you.

That's a bit insufficient.

Can't you trust me till the end? Just as you felt towards me in the beginning.

How I felt...

How I felt.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Huh? Eonni.

Seems like you're really going to start working,

seeing how you woke up early,

Do you want some tea?

No, I'm going to eat.

Anyway, how can you eat right after waking up?

What are you doing?

She's up early.

Why are you eating boiled eggs, when you never used to eat them?

You didn't like them.

I know, right?

I've just changed my clothes.

Where are you and what did you do to change clothes?

He tells me he's drinking water. He's not saying what he did that he needed to drink water and what he's doing after.

This person can be a writer.

He makes me curious about what he's going to do next.

- Eonni. - Yes?

Do you like him that much?

- Is it obvious? - It's so obvious.

I want to date, too.

- Then date. - With whom?

When and where would I meet a man as good as Chef On?

You need to find a man that suits you. Why do you covet someone else's man?

What's wrong with me?

Did I just say that?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Do you like him that much?

I do.

I might buy a bike.

Why a bike?

If we are going to research,

to go to Good Soup, it's iffy to go by car or walk.

If I ride a bike, then it would be fast.

Perhaps it's Chef On, just like last time.

It's probably not.

Eonni, does this person not have a home?

Even if he goes home, there's no one there.

What brings you here?

I came for breakfast.

Why are you cooking soup? It's cumbersome to you.

I like making soups.

Because of someone who likes soup, I have made a lot of soups.

Is it not good?

Yes, it's good.

Come here.

Cockles are good for people who use their brain.

Isn't it like that?

Now that you see the result of the things that you didn't know,

it's like completing a puzzle. It creates a single picture.

I know. The things that I didn't know before are now lining up, so I know.

That's great.

What if the woman that I like likes another man,

then, should I give up?

Even if you have to give up, you still have to give it your very best until the end.

Just like me.

Then if that man is me, would you still go to the end?

Isn't that a given? Wouldn't you do the same, hyeong?

Me too.

I'm going to propose next week.

I will prepare it coolly.

Even if that woman loves another man, I will make you the star of that day.

Lee Hyeon Su

What are you doing? Can I come to do my research now?

Eonni, lets go.

He hasn't replied yet.

It's so frustrating, why do you keep sending messages?

You can just make a call.

He's busy. He might be working and I'd be just disturbing him.

What if he finds it a nuisance?

You love each other, so how can it be a nuisance?

Oh, here it is.

What are you doing?

I'm going for research.

So, she's working.

At least she's not meeting her lover.

Come.

Kyeong, lets go.

This feels so unfamiliar, it's not like you!

I'm sorry, Kyeong.

There's no need to be sorry.

I'm just jealous.

What brings you here at this time?

I will pull out myself from Unruly Detective.

You didn't say anything until yesterday, so what's the matter now?

I saw the script that Director Min's writing team wrote...

It's hopeless.

It's just a train wreck and I'll just be working hard for nothing.

Please, solve it.

Okay. Let's do that.

I like it because it's simple.

As expected, it's good that I decided to work with you.

Please, also make me think it's good that I decided to work with you.

Of course.

You and I both have goal-oriented personalities.

But there is something that I'm a bit worried about.

You are very different from me in love matters.

I didn't expect it from you and I don't find it good.

You like Eonni Hyeon Su.

I have a good instinct for this kind of things.

I found out from the first time I saw you.

- So what?- Why are you still at the same place?

You already have the specifications of a perfect man.

I thought you would become her lover and of course get married.

What on earth were you doing in the past five years?

Why are you being pushed back?

Do you even know who is your rival, for whose sake you are being pushed back?

Let's stop here.

You're an expert at inciting people's emotions, Miss Ji Hong Ah.

I have been swayed plenty. Please, write your scripts like that too.

It's so nice to be eating as we research.

Oh, doesn't this taste good? How did it occur to him to make a sandwich using sea urchins?

Eonni, when they set the course like this, isn't there a reason? Something like a theme.

There probably is.

- Shall I give you some more wine?- Yes, please.

- How is it? - It's delicious.

Then enjoy.

- Let's meet later. - Okay.

"Let's meet later." Eonni, I'll just lie down here.

Kyeong... please, understand.

It's just because it's exploding from holding it in all this time.

I understand.

Why are you still on the same place?

What on earth did you do in the past five years?

What are you doing?

What do you think? I'm coming to meet Hyeon Su after work.

Don't you find it annoying that I'm messaging you?

Do you wait a lot because I can't reply fast?

Yes, how did you know?

That's what everyone does. Me too.

Do you know "what are you doing?" is in other words?

What?

"I miss you".

Why don't you ask me what I'm doing?

I'm so curious about what you're doing, so as soon as I open my eyes in the morningㅡ

You should have told me sooner. Then I would have asked you.

Can I touch it?

Go ahead.

Did it hurt?

Yes, it hurt a lot.

How did you get hurt? Did you get beaten?

No. All chefs have scars like that.

I got it in the process of learning and I still am.

Then, I'm reassured.

Why did you get this? "Salt"?

Because you can't give taste without salt?

- Do you know that the brain recognizes tastes?- I know.

When the brain recognizes taste, if there is a salty taste, then it can feel all the other tastes better.

So salty taste is a good kid. It doesn't just save itself but saves the other tastes, too.

Yes, it's a really good kid.

After my mom and dad got divorced,

I had a hard time when I followed my mom to France.

It was when I was sixteen years old.

I was very lonely.

But I can't be destroyed.

So...

Why are you crying?

I'm not.

I want to kiss you.

Avoid it, if you don't want it.

What are you doing?

You thought I wouldn't avoid it, right? Now, you're laughing after crying.

Seriously, you're really bad!

That time... I was really terrified that you would avoid it.

I was so happy that you didn't avoid it.

But then why did you do that to me?

To make you laugh.

We can kiss again from now on.

Then I can't just easily go with it.

Good. Choose.

Teen version, 20's version, 30's version?

All of them and a fridge kiss too.

♫ It was love. That was all ♫

♫ It's still the same. I've always waited ♫

♫ because I couldn't give you more ♫

♫ Even if we get a little far apart, we are bound to touch ♫

♫ Love is not kind ♫

♫ When I go closer, it gets farther away ♫

♫ But love isn't all bad ♫

♫ Because it calls you by my side once again ♫

♫ It has to be you. It has to be you again ♫

♫ The one inside me was you ♫

♫ I've missed you ♫

♫ That laughter that was always warm, ♫

♫ and never ending, ♫

♫ it came to us again. My love ♫

♫ Day by day, I tried to endure ♫

♫ It was you ♫

♫ You, in front of me ♫

♫ It has to be you. It has to be you again ♫

♫ The one inside of me, it was you ♫

Degree of Love

Is CEO Park getting married?

I think there's a woman that he's had in his heart for a long time?

There probably won't be a space for CEO to get in between those two.

Did my mother call you?

When are you two getting married? You should hurry up.

When I proposed back then, was it strange?

I don't think there's a right answer to that.

We need to change our relationship.

CEO Park's proposal is going to succeed because of this cake.

I have a girlfriend now.

I want to introduce her to you, Hyeong.

Invite her on the day I propose.

Let's meet her together.

[Tomorrow night at 10:20]
