Degree of Love

Jeong Seon.

♫ The times I thought that we were meant to be ♫

♫ Was actually the end, as if it was laughing at me ♫

Let me properly introduce you two.

The man I like the most.

And this is the woman I like the most.

I didn't know we were coming here, Jeong Seon.

♫ If a few seasons passed ♫

Then, I will ask them to serve your meals.

Fine, then.

♫ I believe ♫

♫ That this story isn’t over ♫

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

♫ So that’s all I could do ♫

I had told you before.

I had a man I loved, but he disappeared.

I recently started meeting him again.

It's Jeong Seon.

I meant to tell you, but it hadn't been long since I met Jeong Seon again and we started dating.

This is the mushroom tart.

Degree of Love

With the root vegetables for Table 3 and 5.

Yes, Chef.

Chef, it's time to serve dessert for the terrace diners.

Have you seen CEO Park's girlfriend?

Please, handle things here.

It's the ring for the proposal. Please, keep it with you and bring it out with the food.

We're meeting Yu Hye Jeong next week, right?

Yes, I told you.

The meeting will be in your office, right?

Do you feel obliged to talk to me?

I know.

Something's kind of weird.

This is a special cake.

Is this it?

There is something missing.

Let's talk for a bit.

Okay.

Wait here for a moment.

Yes.

I'm going to make 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 do we need to talk about that you are even bringing me to your home?

Do you want a cup of tea?

Give me some if you want to.

Mom

Yeah, Mom.

Why is your timing so good?

I suddenly wanted to call you. Did you want to see me right now?

Yeah, I thought of you.

Are you home?

No. I am out to eat, but my companions stepped out for a moment.

Why would they step out in the middle of a meal? They must have bad manners.

That's not true.

Anyway, thanks, Mom. Yes.

Mom was right.

They are bad-mannered.

I don't know where to start from.

I can't give this ring.

My girlfriend whom I was supposed to introduce today was Hyeon Su.

Really?

I visited you quite often when you were living in Paris.

On my second visit, the woman I talked about then was Hyeon Su.

Then, at that time, we liked the same girl.

It's not "liked". I still like her now.

Did Hyeon Su know this meeting was for a proposal?

She doesn't need to take responsibility for my proposal.

You say she doesn't need to be responsible for it; but was she even aware of it? From her expression, I think she had no idea.

She had no idea. I brought her here.

How can you think about proposing to her without even sharing feelings for each other?

I have a basis for my proposal.

During the time you didn't see Hyeon Su,

I was the one at her side.

When she won the contest. When her first drama aired.

When she was sick, Christmas Eve, New Years Eve.

I was the one with her.

Staying by her side for almost four years, I have never seen her date other men.

I knew she had a man in her heart.

But that man wasn't by her side.

I liked it that, even if she wasn't able to meet this man, she still cherished her feelings.

Thinking that if such feelings were directed at me, she would be equally loyal to.

That's why I didn't make a move.

She's not a superficial woman, to be taken lightly.

I am sure this is not the case... I hope this is not the case, but...

Did you know that my girlfriend was Hyeon Su?

I knew.

You knew?

You knew, yet you even gave me the ring and made me prepare for the proposal?

The pain I felt after finding out about this... It's only fair you feel that pain, too.

What did I do wrong, through?

Nothing.

You've done nothing wrong,

but I'm angry at you.

Because I can't be angry towards Hyeon Su.

The dice has been cast.

Let's each act on our own. I will take Hyeon Su home.

No, I need talk to her first.

Since she and I are in a mutual relationship.

I'm leaving first.

Yes.

Aren't you going to ask me what's going on?

You would tell me if I needed to know.

I was going to propose to you here tonight.

Sorry.

For what?

I should've told you that I was dating him.

I knew.

My feelings for you are sincere.

Even though not as a man and a woman,

I thought you had trust on me as a person, isn't it right?

You're right.

People sometimes decide whom to live with based on trust.

At your most desperate moment,

I wanted to let you know that I was there for you.

So that you can lean on me.

That's why I decided to propose.

I found out, after I decided to propose.

I saw you two in Yeosu.

Well, now I've shown you all my cards.

I think today is a new start between you and me.

2 years before, November 2015.

- You're really hitting well.- It's really fun.

I think I have a talent in hitting.

Can't I play now?

Only you want to play?

I can't stop.

But your form is not so good.

I can't do much about form. You can have a good form.

Are you not going to date anyone?

The dating cells in my body have all died, so I'll only work.

You must be happy these days.

The episode that just aired got a good rating and good reviews.

Yes, I'm happy.

I heard many other producers called the company.

And asked how much time was left for your contract with us.

You're also getting a lot of calls, aren't you?

A little bit.

When they called and asked me to meet them, I told them I liked On Entertainment.

Really?

I thought at first that you succeeded in business with your parents' inheritance.

It's very great that you've succeeded this much on your own.

I had good luck.

Good luck takes talent, too.

You're very diligent. Once you set your goal, you move straight forward until you accomplish it.

There is no way you can't be successful.

What's the matter with you today?

Do you have something you want to eat?

I acknowledge things easily.

I respect you, CEO Park.

Are you not going to move house?

I will, now that I've made some money.

I leased a house that is a bit bigger.

That's good.

1 year before, March 2016

Why isn't CEO Park here yet?

Let's start eating. CEO Park said he would just stop by for a short time.

I don't understand CEO Park.

What about?

Why is he so hesitating towards Eonni?

I'm pretty sure that he likes her.

It's not that. We are just an employer and an employee.

Please, don't jump ahead of yourself. You're trying to matchmake again.

I think two of them don't even think that way.

You can't write a romantic drama with that kind of attitude.

Hey!

Perfect time to stop this talk. It's CEO Park.

CEO Park. Welcome in.

I have an appointment, so I have to go.

You didn't have to come.

Still, I should congratulate you.

Hello.

Hello. I'm going.

You didn't need to come out.

Thank you. You didn't have to come.

Since you came out, I have a present to give you.

You have another present?

It's not decided for sure yet.

I think Unruly Detective will be scheduled on a time slot for SBC.

Did Sin Ha Rim accept to participate in the drama?

Seeing that he's considering it positively, I think he'll accept it as long as we match his fee requirements.

I haven't eaten yet, that's why.

Just wait a moment. I'll bring some food.

No, it's fine. I can eat something in the car.

I wish you would meet a good woman and get married.

It's you that I want.

I won't have anyone else, letting go of what I want.

Don't be embarrassed.

I'll keep my promise, that I won't make you uncomfortable.

I'm leaving.

Are you cold?

Why did you take so long?

I'm in the middle of working.

I left the kitchen job to Hyeong Won Jun.

We need to talk.

Let's go inside first.

Earlier you were surprised, right?

I heard from Hyeong Jeong Wu.

That you didn't know he was going to propose to you.

I didn't know you and him were that close.

He is a good person and I wish him happiness.

But things got twisted... with us.

Since we found out a new fact today,

let's talk tomorrow.

I'll take you home after we've finished the tea.

Love is rational.

People want to marry someone who respects them and whom they respect.

I respect you.

During the time you didn't meet with Hyeon Su,

I was with her.

Let me properly introduce you two. This is the man I like the most.

This is the woman I like the most.

Am I interrupting your sleep?

No, you're not.

I've thought about it.

After all, it's important our relationship doesn't change.

No matter how people around us shake us.

However, we can be swayed if someone shakes us.

I feel both sorry and thankful to CEO Park.

It's not love.

I'm not confused or swayed.

That's fine then.

Go inside. I still have work to do.

I have to work, too.

I want to hug you,

but I can't, because of the people passing by.

I want to tell you to come in the house,

but I can't, because Kyeong is there.

A few days later

Everyone, gather over here!

As you all know, on today's route, we will pass by Kyungbok Palace, Samcheong-dong, Bukchon, then Insa-dong,

Cheonggyecheon, Ganghwa Gate, the back to Kyungbok Palace. Does everyone understand?

Based on our ability, I can't run with you guys.

You can be kkakdugi (cubed kimchi, the weakest one in the group). So don't worry.

I like kkakdugi. I want to eat it.

CEO Park Jeong Wu.

CEO Park Jeong Wu.

Hello, CEO Park.

It's been a while.

After all, you make me call you first.

Sorry.

Do you know today is the day we are meeting Yu Hye Jeong?

I know.

Is our appointment still valid?

I don't easily change appointments already made.

Shall I cancel it?

No, don't.

Then, see you later.

Why did you come in so early? It's not time for you to start yet.

I woke up early and didn't have anything else to do.

Good morning.

What did you buy?

Plaice. I didn't like the order we received.

Today's reservation is at 30%, right?

Yes, it's around there the entire week. And we have almost no reservations for next week.

Word of mouth is really scary. How can we make it through this challenge?

Hello, Hong Ah.

Oppa, I want to eat the samgyupsal* dish you made last time. (*pork belly)

Are you sick? Your voice sounds strange.

I was lying down. I pulled an all-nighter.

That's a relief. When are you coming?

Can't you bring it over?

I can't leave during work hours.

Fine. Make it and I will come on my break time.

Okay.

Then, go on with your work.

You really put thought into your appearance.

I really put a lot of thought into it. I am nervous.

Are you really that nervous?

She said she likes my writing. How can I not be nervous?

Get Yu Hye Jeong's autograph.

I don't think I could ask her for one.

Okay, don't do it. It will make you look bad.

A writer can't ask for an autograph on the first meeting with an actress, right?

Thanks for understanding.

Good bye, Eonni.

I put thought into how I look too. A lot of thought into it.

Kyeong, you put a lot of thought into it.

Welcome.

Nice to meet you, but why did you come out?

Of course, I have to come out when you've come visit our company, busy as you are.

Treating me too formally... I like that.

Is the writer here yet?

Not yet.

Why aren't there any customers?

I'll take you to your table.

Your office is nice.

This painting is nice, too.

I'm doing everything in my office. Check whether it's to your taste, please.

It's salty.

I can understand why you're loved by people.

CEO Park, Writer Lee has arrived.

Right now, I'll introduce you two.

You don't need to. I searched her up online.

Hello, I'm Yu Hye Jeong.

I'm Lee Hyeon Su.

Shall we sit?

I begged CEO Park to let me meet you, Writer.

I was so surprised. You are very pretty.

You are tall and thinner than I thought.

I look fatter on screen.

You're pretty anyway.

My heart was fluttering after reading your script. Since the dating cells in my body died, I've only been working.

I wrote it to make hearts flutter, so I like it that yours fluttered too.

I want to work with you but I have to start the project that I already signed. I feel sad.

There's always a next time.

You must call me first for your next project.

Of course. I am a fan.

I am a fan, too.

It's been a long time since I've felt so irrelevant, as if I were invisible..

I'm here, too, you know.

Sorry, CEO Park.

Is there any problem here? There are much less customers.

There's no problem.

Sometimes there are lot of customers and some other times, less customers.

Check this well. A sudden reduction of customers must mean there is a problem.

Why do you keep thinking there is a problem? A problem that doesn't exist would occur.

Do you wish Chef On wouldn't do well?

Who would wish that? I'm just worried that you would get upset if the business didn't go well.

Your upsetting me makes me more upset!

What did I make you upset with?

Why haven't you given me any money for living expenses since last month?

I gave you a card. Just use that.

It has exceeded the limit.

How can I just use a card? I need cash, too.

A professor's salary isn't much. I need some money, too.

It's not just "some", you use all of it.

I live with you because I trust you. But if you act like this, what should I do?

I have another appointment. You're staying here, right?

You're running away very well.

Please, stop nagging, it makes things hard.

You are the one who understands me the most in the world.

Are you coming to pick me up after your appointment?

Of course, I am.

Alright then.

What is it?

Professor Min will come to take me after his appointment.

It seems you have a lot of free time these days. You frequently come to Seoul.

Is there any problem in your restaurant? I didn't see many customers since the last time.

Mom, it doesn't concern you, so go and have a rest over there.

I need to work.

When are you going on TV?

I'm not.

Why aren't you going on TV? You should appear on TV even once, so customers will come.

I'm worried.

I'm worried to death If the restaurant goes out of business.

Let's each focus on our own lives. It's none of your business, Mom.

Why are you so rude?

Your business is my business!

Please, don't be like that.

Is Oppa in?

Yes. Sit down, I'll go get him.

I'll just go to the kitchen.

According to the rules, nobody except the authorized people can get in the kitchen.

I've been in there before.

It must have been when I wasn't here.

I'm hungry.

- We'll eat outside.- Okay.

Sous Chef, Miss Hong Ah is here.

Yes, I'm done now.

Where is it?

Here.

Why did you pack it?

I planned to eat here, so I didn't eat much.

Is that so? Since you're busy these days,

I understood you would take it and eat at your place.

Oppa! Really, why are you like that? Do you know how tired I am because of working?

Do I need to tell you everything in detail?

If I had wanted a packed lunch, I could've asked you to send it with a quick delivery service.

Do you think I came here to carry a lunch box?

I'm sorry to butt into your conversation, but I need to say something.

To me?

Yes.

Go on then.

This man. . .

let me have him.

S-Su Jeong...
