Degree of Love

This man... let me have him. ~ Episode 22 ~

S-Su Jeong...

I've liked Sous-chef all this time.

I can no longer stand by and watch him being treated that way.

You like a man who says he likes another woman?

Yes, I like Sous-chef.

You're not going to have him anyway, so give him to me.

Take him then.

But this oppa has been after me for the last eight years.

It will be hard to change his feelings.

It won't be hard, Su Jeong.

I've fallen for your strong personality.

Oppa?

What?

I am Su Jeong's now. Ask her for permission before you call me out.

- Oppa! - Bye.

Alight then, goodbye.

Su Jeong, lets go.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Did I look that pathetic?

Miss Hong Ah seems to be very competitive, so...

I thought that if I said I liked you, she would treat you better.

I overstepped my boundaries.

I've made a make-it or break-it move, too.

How long can I go on like this?

Then, does that mean you forgive me?

Thank you for lying for my sake.

I was moved seeing there is a woman who cares for me that much.

It wasn't a lie.

I will be leaving now. I have work to do.

It must be nice to get paid even when you're doing that.

I'm working right now. The director and the writer have to be close in order to produce a good project.

Do you know how important the "Nice Soup" script is to me?

Never mind. Please, just don't make everything on screen blue.

Why do you make people's face come out that way?

Don't you know what "experimental" means?

So that's why I'm saying, don't pull that experiment here.

The smell is amazing.

You said you weren't eating.

I said that because you kept giving me the look.

You should keep to your word.

Why should I?

Words are there to be said not to be kept.

Don't keep your word then, or even say it. Just don't talk.

Eonni is back. Eonni met Yu Hye Jeong.

Huh?

Why are you here, Director?

Why are you here, Writer Ji?

I came because I'm hungry. I was close by anyway.

Kyeong, give me something to eat.

Did you make ramen?

You have the nose of a dog.

If you only feed her and not me, that's a foul.

I told you not to talk to me!

Did you send her off well?

Yes.

We chatted like old friends.

I'm glad that you both seem to have become close after meeting each other.

She developed a favorable opinion of me?

Yes.

If not, she wouldn't have stayed this long. She has a very busy schedule.

That makes me feel really good.

I developed an even more favorable opinion of her after meeting her too.

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

I'm just going to go home.

Don't bring in personal feelings into business.

We both have to eat. Do I have to repeat myself?

Let's go to Good Soup. Their business is not doing well these days. We should eat there.

It will make him feel worse if he found out we were meeting where he can't see us.

Anyway, he knows we have to meet since we work together.

Fine, let's go.

When did you guys start dating?

Who?

Why are you acting innocent?

You and Director Kim.

You really have a peculiar taste in men.

Writer Ji, I am right in front of you.

Hey!

I made food for you because you were hungry. Why are you speaking nonsense?

Why would I date him?

You're not? It sure seems like it.

Something is going on.

Well, I suppose it's not time for you to be dating. You are turning thirty soon.

Are you going to keep sponging off Eonni?

Hey.

I'm telling you this, because I am your friend.

Is a man worth staking your life for?

Get some ambition, Kyeong!

You need to win a contest and make your debut.

How can you say such upsetting things like it's nothing?

You deny being interested. If that is the case...

Why did you wear that dress at home?

She should wear the dress at home. Should she wear the dress to go out? She doesn't even go out often.

Kyeong is kind. Do you know how hard it is to be a kind person?

Try to debut and become a famous writer. Then you won't be kind anymore.

I'm going now. Tell Hyeon Su to contact me.

What's with him?

I don't know. What's with him?

I will go in first.

Try to make a list of wines that will go well together with the sea bass.

I will include it in the next menu.

Yes, Chef.

You didn't say you were coming.

We have the sort of relationship where I don't have to tell you I am coming.

We met Yu Hye Jeong together and we decided to come here for dinner.

Okay.

Show them to their table, please.

Yes, Chef.

Please, come this way.

You should come, too.

Later.

CEO Park and Nuna Hyeon Su came together?

Yes.

Kyeong Su, have you finished the sauteed mushroom dish?

Yes, Sir.

Are you uncomfortable?

Yes.

I haven't done anything wrong, but I feel guilty. Why is that?

You really are a funny person.

Why?

You're so upfront about your feelings.

I've fallen for your strong personality.

Oppa!

I am Su Jeong's now. Ask her for permission before you call me out.

I've liked Sous-chef all this time.

I can no longer stand by and watch him being treated that way.

This man... give him to me.

Is that for real?

Hong Ah.

The person you're calling cannot answer the phone

16-episode mini-series: High Society

Love is really lousy.

I mean, how can people show off like that?

Let's go now. I still have work to do.

Okay, then.

I'm going to see Jeong Seon for a moment.

Okay.

Jeong Seon, can I see you for a moment please?

Let's meet later. I'll call you.

I need to talk to Hyeong.

Hyeon Su and I love each other.

I know. Are you telling me, because you are anxious?

Or are you saying this to yourself?

I know it will be hard to get over her, but shouldn't you at least stop acting on your feelings?

Whether I stop or not is for me to decide.

- Me acting like this, does that make you upset? - Yes, very much so!

I kept thinking about why you're so angry at me even though I haven't done anything wrong.

Now that I think about it, you did do something wrong.

When we met in Paris, the woman you talked about was Hyeon Su.

You said you wanted to introduce me to her, if you met her again.

So why didn't you tell me?

My feelings were too intense for me to tell somebody about it.

When I requested you to appear in "Unruly Detective", you agreed because you knew Hyeon Su was the writer.

You didn't say anything then either.

It's for the same reason. Why do I need to explain myself to you?

The day we were supposed to hang out, you cancelled on me to go to Yeosu with Hyeon Su.

It's so childish, right?

Isn't this childish? This is how men fight over a woman. Can you withstand it?

I can.

Besides, all my life up until now, I fought for things I wanted and won; and that's how I got what I wanted.

Hyeong, whatever you can do, I can too. However, love is between two people, not one.

Regardless of how much we fight each other, the result is different from a win. Why do we need to have this kind of a fight?

Since you have her, you don't need to fight for her. But that's not the case for me.

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

Nothing will change.

We loved each other even when we were apart.

Then continue loving each other without changing.

But I need to shake things up for you two.

It's the least I could do for myself, after staying by a woman's side for the last four years,

while holding in my feelings for her.

And what about our friendship?

The real friendship will start from now.

Let's give it a good try, On Jeong Seon.

♫ The day I thought we were destined to be together ♫

♫ Was actually the 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 ♫

Let's meet later. I'll call you.

I need to talk to Hyeong.

We met Yu Hye Jeong together and we decided to come here for dinner.

Okay.

Show them to their table, please.

I really cannot stop thinking about it.

I've thought about it, but what's important is that our relationship doesn't change.

Even though someone tries to shake things up

However, if someone tries to shake things up, we could get unsettled.

Why isn't he calling me?

Then continue loving each other without changing.

But I need to shake things up for you two.

Did you wash your hair?

No, I wash my hair in the mornings. I just took a shower.

You came out after you took a shower?

Yeah, I never go out once I take a shower regardless of who asks. But I came out this time.

You must really like me.

I really like you.

What should I get you?

The expensive Blue Mountain coffee.

Is that a new dish?

Yes, I'm going to change the main dish.

Is your restaurant deep in the red?

You're being too nosy again.

I am sorry. I am doing research at Good Soup,

I end up hearing about many things.

If you drink coffee now, will you be able to sleep?

It doesn't matter.

I'm okay with caffeine. Aren't you having any?

If I drink coffee now, I won't be able to sleep.

Okay. I will listen to it now.

I won't be able to solve it for you, though. We should solve our own problems.

I decided to appear on TV to help the restaurant get out of deficit. But I didn't like it.

I don't like doing things in order to win something.

Didn't you take a loan when you opened Good Soup?

Now you even check my financial situation?

No, I was just asking.

How many people can open a restaurant with their own money?

Jeong Wu is the one who invested in it.

I see.

Are you anxious?

About what?

That your confidence might waver.

That's why you came over here, isn't it?

No, it's not, On Jeong Seon. You are getting ahead of yourself.

It's true I feel uneasy because of you, Jeong Seon.

I'm afraid that you might doubt me and think my feelings are easily changed.

Hyeong Jeong Wu was with you during the times when I was not.

I won't claim all those times, so don't worry.

Thank you.

By the way, in my opinion, in order to get out of Good Soup's deficit,

the best way is for you to earn a "Michelin Star".(The annually published Michelin Red Guide awards Michelin stars for excellence to a select few hotels and restaurants)

Earning the stars is not to win something.

What?

You said you would just listen, but now you even gave me a solution.

- Did I do well? - You did well.

I always earn my keep, now as well as in the past.

You like to show off, now as well as in the past.

Couldn't you just say "you're doing well", instead of saying "you show off", when I did this well?

No.

- I'm going home. - No.

I'm going home.

I rode the bicycle here.

I'll bring it to you tomorrow. Let's walk.

Alright.

You want to hold hands?

- Hello. - Hello.

CEO Park is waiting for you.

It's been a while.

No news is good news.

But I had to come here again because of something.

What is it?

You know you're only one that I can lean on. My Jeong Seon is difficult.

He is too innocent to understand his mom.

Family is easy but also difficult.

It's not easy to understand me. I know I did wrong.

I did try not to do wrong, but things keep getting out of hand.

I created a lot of trouble - I mean some bad investments.

I told you I used my son's inheritance money to settle those debts, didn't I?

You also told me that the power of using that money was taken away by Jeong Seon.

That's what I'm saying. He's not been easy since he was young.

He has all the money. But once he got the money, he wouldn't give it out at all.

If I got into trouble, he would solve it because I'm his mom after all, right?

How much do you need?

Well, spending money is...

This thing called "habit' is scary. I can't seem to control myself.

I'll pay you back.

When my Professor MIn sells his painting for a hefty price, everything will be resolved in one shot.

Come in.

- Oh, you're here too, Kyeong? - Yes.

- Welcome. - Hello.

Are we not interrupting?

They still need to eat.

We do need to eat.

We don't have much at home.

Would we come to tell you to make food for us? Obviously, we came to invite you out.

Honey, am I right?

Yes. Of course.

Where shall we go?

Should we go at that place where we wanted to go and couldn't?

Don't you think they're open for business today?

Where is that?

Lee Hyeon Su.

Hello.

What are you doing?

I'm getting some ingredients.

We are coming to Good Soup for lunch.

Okay. Who's coming? Or are you coming alone?

Mom, Dad, and Kyeong.

What?

So you need a reservation for four.

I've already made the reservation.

Jeong Seon, do you want me to introduce you to my parents?

If it's burdensome, we'll just eat and go.

Yes, I want to greet them.

Okay. See you soon.

You're here.

Hello.

You're prettier every time I see you.

Honey, that kind of greeting is not appropriate.

- No?- No. Don't you think so?

I'll take you to your table.

You shouldn't change the subject like that. Is it because you feel awkward?

Yes, it's a bit awkward. But I thought it might upset Professor Min.

See, she's saying she doesn't like it.

- I'm sorry. - That's alright.

Are there no customers today?

There are reservations.

We finally get to eat here.

Honey, is eating what's important right now, when our Hyeon Su's boyfriend is the chef there?

It's because I'm happy about it.

Chef On is awesome.

He is handsome, cool, and so sweet.

How can you say all the true things?

Look at this girl.

Aigoo. I can finally let out a sigh of relief.

- Let's go. - Yes.

Yes.

Writer Lee, welcome.

These are my parents.

Excuse me... Where is the restroom?

It's over there. I will take you.

I'll show her. I know this place well.

Mom, this way.

- Go on. - Okay.

My mom and dad are here.

Let's go downstairs.

In a moment.

My mom went to the restroom.

Why are you peeking like that? It's alright to just stare..

I'm sorry.

Here you go.

- Hyeon Su seems to have gone to see her boyfriend. - I see.

What is so funny?

Stop looking at your handphone so much. It'll ruin your eyesight.

You must have presbyopia (farsightedness) now.

Should I get corrective surgery like you?

I had good eyes, so I could do a corrective surgery. But I don't think you can.

In fact, I can say I have a babyish face but you're the really young one.

What should we eat?

There is only one menu here.

Ah, that's right.

- Honey. - Yes?

Those two are strange.

Who?

Why? What is it?

Look at this. Isn't it funny?

Don't look.

They don't look like a married couple, do they, Kyeong?

No. They don't look ordinary.

I'm sure he is her lover.

They have such an age gap that she could easily be his auntie.

Ah, seriously. She's kept peeking at me since we met in the bathroom. I'm getting really annoyed.

Who?

They aren't looking now.

They seem to have come as a family.

It's true we're standing out. So don't get offended.

Of course, you have a such a pure heart.

Why isn't Hyeon Su back yet?

Shall we go downstairs now?

Shall we?

Are you nervous?

A bit.

I'll do my best to make them like me.

You don't need to do anything. Even if you're just standing there, they will like you.

Because you're handsome.

Okay.

Honey, over there.

Hyeon Su.

The second result of Good Soup's consultation came out. If two from the hall and the maknae in kitchen are removed, it'll be fine.

What if I can't do that?

What are you going to do if he wants to take out the money he invested in the restaurant because of you, Eonni?

Are you confident you don't put your personal feeling into business matters?

- Are you dating with Eonni Su Jeong?- I'm sick and tired of loving someone one-sidedly.

You should treat him better so you won't regret later after you lose Won Jun.

Dis something happen between CEO Park and you? Tell me what made your relationship turn sour.

This is different from what you promised. It's not been one year yet.

Is this the childish fighting over a woman that you mentioned? Shaking her by exaggerating the situation?

You are already finding it hard? This is just the beginning.

Next Monday at 10 pm...
