Degree of Love

~ Episode 20 ~

Is Chef On's mother not in?

I think she's on the terrace on the second floor.

By the way, there seems to be less customers today.

Is it due to the allergy incident?

How did you know?

I found out while I was researching.

Since Good Soup is the backdrop for the drama.

Could you really lose customers due to that kind of incident?

Word of mouth is a scary thing in the dining business.

Also, a fine dining place like this has regular patrons.

When can we interview Min Ho, the kitchen *maknae?(the youngest in a family, group or staff)

There really isn't anything that's difficult.

Kang Min Ho (maknae) 25 yrs. Here since 3 months. Cute. Curly hair. Did hiphop. Positive personality. Selects good music.

Well, I chant a magic spell to myself that nothing is difficult.

Are there any people dating in here?

I'm pretty quick to see such kind of things, you know.

I think Nuna Su Jeong has someone she likes.

Who is he?

Here you go.

You sure make me do all kinds of things. Asking me to make a cake for you to take to your interview.

I have to look good. If this person doesn't give me an interview, then it'll be hard for me to write.

If it airs, I'll put your name up on the credits.

Choi Won Jun, culinary consultant.

It's alright. I hope you do well.

Wouldn't that calm you down a bit? Please, return to how you were in college.

Change at least that much.

I won't come to you even if I change.

Who says you should come to me?

You think you wear the pants in our relationship, that's not true.

Who would be at the losing end if we don't get together? It would be you.

You need to fix that short temper of yours.

Look who's talking. When I talk to you,

I end up laughing because I am at loss for words.

Laugh like that. Even if I throw a fit, you should laugh.

I'm going.

Eonni. What do you do on your breaks?

We are free to do what we choose until the dinner preparation time.

What are you doing here?

I am doing research.

Eonni Hyeon Su is writing about cooking?

If you're doing research now, it means it will air by next year.

My show will start airing this year.

Eonni could start airing this year, too. She already has the synopsis and scripts for two episodes.

When did she write them?

It was something she had written several years ago.

I've got to go now.

Eonni, I'm leaving.

Goodbye.

She's so diligent.

If someone like her doesn't succeed, who will?

It's fine that she's successful and all. But I hope she doesn't mistreat Sous-chef.

Hello.

- Have a seat. - Yes.

Have you seen this?

No, I haven't seen it.

Wow! He's handsome.

Isn't he?

I gave birth to him. Out of all the thing's I've done, this was the best.

The second best thing I did was getting divorced.

I was finally able to live like a human being after the divorce.

Why had I been holding on like that to avoid divorce?

It was the hardest on our Jeong Seon.

I heard he was fifteen when it happened.

He protected me at that age.

Although it's unfortunate that he became an adult so early on... what can be done?

Everyone has their own destiny when they are born.

He grew up to be a good person. I learn from him a lot.

I'm going shopping, do you want to come with me?

Since Professor Min has gone to give a special lecture and Jeong Seon has to work.

Do you always shop with someone?

Not necessarily. We have to do something together to get to know each other better.

Can I ask you something?

Ask anything.

Why do you want to get close to me?

We have something in common: both of us are dating younger men.

You're dating my son, too.

I think double dating would be good. It will improve my relationship with Professor Min.

Professor Min makes me very happy.

But Jeong Seon is always working. When I think about it as his mom,

I feel sorry for him.

I thought that it would be nice...

if someone made my son happy like that, too.

His face brightens up when he talks about you.

Oh, really?

How can you show how this makes you happy so openly? I like that.

I don't like phony people.

I have to work, so I can't go shopping with you.

I am preparing for a drama.

Because I told you that I like honesty, you're being too honest now.

When I first met you, Eomoni, I was a bit scared of you.

But now that I meet you again, you're like a girl.

I hear that often.

Blood drawing Lab.

It's all done. You can go to number 09, chest x-ray section.

- Alright. - Thank you.

09, Chest X-ray

You can go to number 20, endoscopy section.

So we have to do endoscopy now?

- Mr. Lee Min Jae and Mrs. Park Mi Na.- Here.[ Endoscopy Center ]

Please, wait a little.

You say you have frequent headaches lately. Should we have selected head CT as an additional option?

It's fine.

Who doesn't suffer from that kind of headache?

Still, it's better to be thorough since we are getting a checkup.

Fine, I'll listen to you.

I like that you listen to me.

CEO Park, how may I help you?

I don't need any ornaments, just show me a simple band.

You're developing a dessert cake?

It looks like a trail in the forest.

I'm making a sketch for Hyung Jeong Wu's proposal cake.

- CEO Park is getting married? - Yes.

I think this woman has been in his heart for a long time. It's a trail in the forest theme.

I am wishing that Jeong Wu and the woman he loves can only walk a flowery path.

I'm really curious, who it is.

Wait a little longer. You could see her on Saturday, too. The proposal will take place in Good Soup.

- Nuna. - Hello.

You're here.

I'm here. What are you doing?

I am making a dessert cake for a proposal. So I am first drawing a sketch.

So before cooking, you sketch it first.

Yes, seeing is part of the taste too. What does it look like?

- It looks like a forest trail.- I am leaving.

- I am leaving, Nuna.- Bye.

I wish there are more flowers. Since it's a trail in the forest.

There is no reason why I can't add more flowers.

Can I try?

You can.

Here.

In early morning, I made kimchi stew in secret, and ate it under the blanket.

They noticed it well enough and pounded the door, saying it smelled—

Ah, really? Again?

I'm so tired.

What is it? Director?

I will leave after napping for an hour. Writer Hwangbo, do your work, don't mind me.

Is this your home? Why do you come here every chance you get?

Is Hyeon Su dating Chef On?

Why are you minding someone else's business?

Because Hyeon Su is a longtime friend.

Then, what will happen to Hyung Jeong Wu?

CEO Park likes Hyeon Su?

It's been quite a long time now.

Geez. I am wide awake now.

Make me a bowl of ramen.

Make it yourself.

Fine.

Ah, really?

Are you a kid?

Go away!

My hands were slippery.

Go away. I'll make it while you're sitting over there.

Kyeong Ah, you are so nice.

It's Kyeong, not Kyeong Ah! (*"ah" at the end of a name is a casual form for close friends)

I really don't like to be called nice.

I don't like people who keep on saying things I don't like either.

That was really not nice. That was mean.

Are you happy now?

Just don't talk to me.

Don't I have pretty eyes?

I'll introduce you to someone with pretty eyes.

If you go a restaurant called Good Soup, you will meet a chef called On Jeong Seon.

I don't like On Jeong Seon!

He's my and Hyung Jeong Wu''s arch enemy.

Aigoo. You're really spewing ridiculous nonsense.

You're a friend with Writer Ji Hong Ah, right?

Writer Ji is making her debut.

Don't compare her to me!

She steals my self-esteem!

Hello. It's been a while since you've come here.

I was away on a business trip. You're not making another TV appearance?

I am not.

How is it?

It's delicious.

It's different from when I had champagne and oysters separately by the Mediterranean Sea.

It's something very different.

Enjoy your meal.

Enjoy your meal.

You're alone.

How come you're not meeting someone, with your busy schedule?

These days, I try not to set up meetings if possible. The taste of this dish has been fixed.

It's much better than your initial version.

It's all thanks to a capable taster.

Let's have some tea after you finish work.

You've lost a lot of customers.

I am thinking about changing the main dish of next month's menu.

I don't think the problem is the cooking.

Are you refusing to face the reality?

Now, I am skeptical about solving the problem in a realistic manner.

I came to think that in the end, at the core, it's not about that.

Even if I change peripheral things, it's back to square one.

You know, the name of the restaurant...

Yeah.

Why did you name the restaurant "Good Soup"?

There is "On Jeong Seon", "On Jeong Seong" (With all the sincerity), and "Ae Jeong Seon" (Loveline) too.

There's loads of options.

My online nickname was "Kind Soup".

Why is soup kind?

The word "soup" is like a gook (soup) in Korean cuisine.

You could have a meal with rice and soup alone.

I like nice, kind things.

I wanted to cook.

"Chak ha da" (kind) is Korean and "soup" is English. Meeting of the Eastern and the Western.

It was that complicated to come up with a name?

I am saying it's not a name that I easily came up with.

That is the proposal ring.

Please, keep it and bring it out with the food.

It's simple and pretty. No unnecessary adornment.

I thought I'd want to prepare this kind of ring for my own proposal, too.

You are before me.

Jeong Seon.

Yes?

Do you know that I like you?

Do you know that I like you, Hyeong?

I know.

I know, too.

But...

Everyone has priorities in their lives.

In my life, I've witnessed many good relationships turning sour.

I've witnessed it many times, too.

How about us?

If our relationship turns sour—

Why do you think about what if? We have a good relationship now.

Let's think about it when it happens.

But Hyeong, I don't think our relationship will turn sour.

Why?

Because it's you, Hyeong.

Your heart skipped a bit now, didn't it?

Still, I can't stop.

I need to take this all the way to the end and find out about it.

What do you mean?

Hello, Honey.

I woke up early to work.

Go Jeong Seon!

- We still have a lot of the purée left, right?- Yes, Chef.

Check how it is beforehand.

Ha Seong. Pay careful attention to the freshness of the remaining seafood. If you're unsure, just throw them out.

Yes, Chef.

CEO Park, I am here.

You seem to be doing very well.

It's because I am doing what I wanted to do.

I was doing research yesterday. I will write the script all day today.

Why did you ask to meet?

I've read the script.

It's funny.

I told you.

I will start contacting actors.

I am aware that we need a star since this is your first drama.

I will pay special attention to casting.

Thank you.

How about directors?

Oh, regarding directors...

Directing is very important.

Actors don't just agree to a drama based on the writer.

It's a different story if you're a star writer.

So, who is it?

I found a match.

I'll tell you later, I can't right now.

Will Hyeon Su's project start filming soon?

Since she's revising her script, we need to have another discussion once the revision is finished.

I trust you, CEO Park.

Don't forget your rules.

If I think you're not paying attention to my project because of Eonni Hyeon Su's project, I won't just sit and watch.

I know, even if you didn't tell me.

Eonni and Jeong Seon love each other.

Probably, there is no room for you to butt in between their relationship.

Why are you telling me that?

Because I like you, CEO Park.

Even if you get hurt, it's better to know in advance.

Why are you here?

Isn't it almost the end of filming?

Well. Then.

It must be hard, right?

Well, that's how it is.

What kind of tea would you like to drink?

Forget the tea. What's the reason you wanted to meet me?

I've heard that you're leaving your company. You're in negotiation with a couple of other companies.

So?

I want to recruit you.

You don't like me though.

Well, feelings are one thing, skills are another thing.

If our goals are aligned, I think we could become good partners.

Give me some tea.

Alright.

But... You work on Saturdays too?

Yes.

It's a very important Saturday today.

It's beautiful.

CEO Park's proposal will be a success for sure. Thanks to your cake.

Oh, right.

Lee Hyeon Su.

Hello.

What are you up to?

I'm in a meeting.

I've finished writing the synopsis, so I was talking with Oppa Jun Ha and Kyeong.

Are you busy today?

No, I'm at home.

Do you have time to have dinner together tonight?

Even if I don't have time, I can. It's you who's asking.

See you later.

You are going to invite Hyeon Su, too?

I want to properly introduce her to him. He will probably be very surprised.

Lee Hyeon Su.

Hello, CEO Park.

Come out right now.

What? Now?

Come out. Let's have dinner together.

Do we have to do it tonight? I have another appointment tonight.

We have to do it tonight.

I will add this. You don't have a choice in this matter.

Okay.

Alright. Do everything as you wish.

Until the broadcast of last episode of "Unruly Detective".

Lee Hyeon Su.

Why aren't you here yet, but calling me?

I can't come tonight. Something just came up. I'm sorry.

It's alright. Do your thing. You could meet me anytime.

Thank you.

On Jeong Seon is affectionate indeed (Da Jeong Seon).

Don't tease me with my name because you're sorry, Lee Hyeon Su.

♫ The times I thought we were meant to be ♫

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

♫ In between the cut off film ♫

♫ The period mark was deeply set ♫

♫ Like being blind from longing ♫

♫ the days when everything was dark ♫

♫ A few seasons passed ♫

We were coming to Good Soup?

Yes.

Do you like it?

Yes, I do.

♫ I believe ♫

Remember how I said I had something personal to tell you?

We can talk inside.

♫ I can't go back to before knowing you ♫

♫ So that’s all I could do ♫

Good Soup.

Hello, CEO Park and Writer Lee.

Chef On was waiting for you. I'll take you to your table.

We will sit ourselves. Go downstairs and work. We are not actually restaurant customers after all.

Yes, Sir.

Why is it so pretty here?

It must be a special day.

- Min Ho, stop now and bring it.- Yes.

- Ha Seong, please check the macadamia purée. - Yes, Sous-chef.

Table 3, two dinner courses. Steak, medium rare.

Yes, Chef!

Chef On, CEO Park has arrived.

Okay.

♫ I can’t go back to before knowing you ♫

♫ So that’s all I could do ♫

♫ The price of loving the dream-like you ♫

♫ Even if endless tears fall ♫

♫ The more time passes, like a lie ♫

♫ By every account, it was love ♫

Jeong Seon.

What if the woman you liked, liked another man. Would you give up?

Even if I give up when it's time to do so, I still need to see it till the end.

Even if the man was me,

would you still do it?

Isn't it obvious? Wouldn't you do the same?

Let me properly introduce you two.

The man I like the most.

And this is the woman I like the most.

♫ 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 ♫

~ Preview ~

Have you seen CEO Park's girlfriend?

Did you know Hyeon Su was my girlfriend?

I knew.

You knew it and yet you still gave me the ring and made me prepare for the proposal?

Even if someone tries to shake things up, will you two stay the same like you are now?

Hello, I am Yu Hye Jeong.

Since you're out, let's have a dinner together.

Did CEO Park and Nuna Hyeon Su come together?

I haven't done anything wrong but I feel as if I have done something wrong.

Give this man to me.

You're not going to have him anyway.

Hyeon Su and I love each other.

I know, do you keep saying this to me because you're anxious?

Isn't this childish? This is how to fight for a love affair. Can you withstand it?

♫ My love ♫
